《We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea?》 Chapter 1 【Eye of the Secret Sea】 Chapter 1 [Eye of the Secret Sea] Captain Shane? Captain Shane? The process of signing the loan contract is over and you can leave now. ?Shaan sat on the hard solid wood seat, looking at the medieval-style room in front of him and the old man who looked like a butler, his eyes full of confusion. ?What loan contract? Why did it end? Also, where is this place? He remembered that a second ago he was waiting for the fried chicken takeout to be delivered at home, and he just heard "Open the door, Ken..." ?As soon as I closed my eyes and opened them again, I came to this ghost place. Before I had time to think about it, chaotic memory fragments were violently inserted into my mind, and countless pictures were forcefully shoved in. ?Xia En quickly understood that he had traveled through time. This is a mysterious world that seems to be similar to the earth. There are supernatural beings such as secret paths, witches, and forbidden relics. ?However, one day hundreds of years ago, sea levels suddenly began to rise sharply. The ruthless seawater submerged land and cities one after another, and the space for human survival continued to shrink. ?The extraordinary people of the past era tried every means to preserve the fire of civilization. The Great Migration, "Noah''s Ark", undersea shelters, racial transformation...people are struggling to find a way to survive. To this day, a new order has been established, and the entire world has entered the Age of Discovery. This captain, who has the same name as Shane, inherited his fathers inheritancea ketch called the Black Swan! He originally wanted to make a career at sea, but he encountered a shipwreck on only his second voyage. Not only did the sailors on the ship suffer heavy casualties, but all the cargo transported was destroyed. Such a huge loss naturally made the supplier very angry and demanded compensation. Compensation, of course, cannot be afforded. Just repairing the cabins and paying pensions to relatives of dead sailors had already emptied his small treasury. In fact, at this point, Captain Shane has one last option, which is to sell the ship and go to the island to make a living. But perhaps because of his deep feelings for the ship, or because he was young and energetic and unwilling to be mediocre, he made a bold decision. Ask Duke Nova on the island to borrow money! As we all know, once some money is borrowed, it is hard to get it back. ?The contract in front of you is more like a gambling agreement than a loan contract. ??Once Sean cannot pay off the debt the next time he returns, he will have to pack up the people and the ship and send it to the duke. No, brother, dont take me with you if you cant think of it! With his last hope in mind, Xia En glanced at the parchment not far away. ?On it, his name is clearly written in another language. ?According to the "Seven Seas Treaty", this contract has become effective. If it is not fulfilled, all city-state ports will be prohibited from opening to him, and he will be included in the wanted list of the sea. Everything is a foregone conclusion. ?Xia En looked at the old housekeeper in front of him, his lips moved, but in the end he didn''t say anything. ?Even if he said he didnt sign it, no one would believe it! "Captain Shane, I sincerely suggest you..." The old housekeeper stood up and said meaningfully: "It may be a better choice not to go to sea." After all, the Duke is very fond of handsome men like you. Thats right, the Duke of Nova is a woman. To be honest, if she was a fair-skinned beauty with long legs, Xia En wouldn''t mind reluctantly selling her body, letting money taint her pure soul, and embarking on a legendary path that started with a rich woman. The problem is that in his memory, the size of Duke Nova is 300X300X300. ??Moreover, the game was so big and expensive that her male favorites had to be replaced every three months, and the casualty rate was higher than that of sailing. When he thought of the image of the mountain of flesh pressing down on him, Xia En''s hair stood on end, he shuddered and said. I want to try again. Well, then, good luck to you. ?Seeing this, the old housekeeper stopped trying to persuade him and watched Xia En leave. He had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of mockery. He has seen too many such people. ?These captains are like cornered gamblers. They always take chances, thinking that they can turn around the next time they go to sea. ?The result is just to slide step by step towards the abyss, and finally fall into a state of eternal destruction. This time, there will be no exception. at the same time. ?Xia En walked out of the room, and the salty sea breeze blew in his face. ?Looking around, you can see thousands of blue waves not far away. The waves on the sea rise and fall, looking like fine floating gold in the sun. Until this moment, Xia En finally had the real feeling that he had traveled to another world. He couldn''t help but think with some anticipation: "By the way, I still have the boat and the sailors on it, maybe I can turn over?" Captain! So you are here! ?At this moment, Xia En heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw several sailors walking towards him. ?Xia En recognized that they were his crew members, but the expressions on their faces made his heart skip a beat. Captain The first mate Renate, who had a beard and a round waist, hesitated to speak, and seemed a little ashamed on his face. But the other **** sailor was not so polite and said directly: "Hey, Shane, I heard that you are going to be kept by the Duke?" Thats right, we dont want to do it anymore, lets get together and go away! Hey, Jason! ??Renate glared at him, and then looked at Shane: "Captain, I''m old and want to settle down on the island, so..." ?Shaan kept a straight face, his eyes swept over the faces of Renate and other sailors, trying his best to keep his tone calm. You all mean this? "Yes." Sorry Captain, I have to feed my family. ?The sailors responded one after another, most of them sounded a little ashamed, but some said bluntly. Captain, let me tell you the truth, I think there is no future in hanging out with you. If the old captain is still alive, I will definitely not leave, but now... I dont want to risk offending the Duke by continuing to play childish sailing games with you. The person who said this was a thin man with a hooked nose named Freed. ?His twin brother died in a shipwreck not long ago. Obviously, he placed part of the blame on Shane. After hearing these words, Xia En quickly understood everything. ?Although these sailors are old men on the Black Swan, the captain they are loyal to is not Shane, but his dead father. In their eyes, Xia En is just a pretty boy who has not grown up and does not have enough prestige. The failure of two voyages to sea and his performance in the face of shipwrecks showed that he was not capable enough. Insufficient prestige and insufficient ability. No one would be willing to work hard under such a leader, let alone a high-risk profession like a sailor. Xia En was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, I understand." Is there anything else? ? Jason and Freed were a little surprised by his calm reaction. ??If Captain Shane had encountered this kind of situation in the past, he would have been so panicked that he might have cried and begged them to stay. But now, he seems to be calmly accepting the status quo? ?It seems that suffering is really the most tempering thing. Unfortunately, its too late. ??Renate sighed inwardly, turned around and left with the other sailors. In a blink of an eye, only Xia En was left standing alone. HuhIm really alone now. ?Shaan took a deep breath. It sounds sad, but its not. After all, he was not familiar with these old crew members at all and only knew them through the memories of the original owners. What is more in my heart is actually confusion and helplessness. ?Suddenly transported to this strange world, I owe a huge sum of money at the beginning, betrayed my relatives, and have no one to rely on. ?This feeling is really not pleasant. More importantly, what to do next? I still have thirty silver snake coins with me. Although they are borrowed, it shouldnt be a big problem to recruit a few sailors. Xia En comforted himself: "If the old ones don''t go away, the new ones won''t come! Just start over!" Half an hour later. ?Xia En, who walked around the pier, frowned and felt very heavy. Cant recruit people, cant recruit people at all! Normally, those sailors who could be recruited with only a few silver snake coins chose to refuse him without exception after hearing his name. There is even an attitude of being afraid to avoid it. Mostly, it has something to do with Duke Nova. ?Xia En thought about it carefully and quickly came to a conclusion. The Duke of Nova is the consul of this island, and his position is extremely respected. ??There is no need to use any tricks. As long as the news of the gambling agreement between Shane and the Duke is leaked, no sailor on the island will dare to board his ship. Damn, I really dont give you a way to survive... ?Shaan couldn''t help but think of the old butler''s meaningful smile, and felt that the way forward was bleak. ?Without sailors, he couldn''t even go to sea, so how could he make a comeback? Why dont you just obey her? ?Shaan had a wry smile on his face. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. He looked up and found that he had unknowingly arrived at the place where the "Black Swan" docked. ??When he saw this ship that belonged to him, Xia En''s mind roared, as if a red-hot iron stick had been inserted into his temple. Hot! Severe pain! Immediately, deep in his consciousness, an eye made of blue lines opened! its name is Eye of the Secret Sea! Newcomer, new book, please recommend, collect and invest! ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 2 【Captains Majesty】【Deep Sea Diving】 Chapter 2 [Captains Majesty] [Deep Sea Diving] This is? Xia En suddenly came back to his senses. With a sudden thought, he focused his attention on this eye. A simple panel with a frame with complex and magnificent patterns appeared. Name: Xia En Age: 18 years old Succubus (extremely rare) - Your charm is greater than that of ordinary people, and you are more likely to attract the opposite **** and a small number of the same sex. It is a bit too outrageous to go sailing alone. Keep your head up, Joey. ??When he returned to the ship with the supplies, a question came from behind him. "ah?" In an instant, an invisible bond seemed to extend, allowing him to establish an indescribable and wonderful connection from the soul with the ship. You have complete control over your own ship. You only need to steer the ship, and the Black Swan can set sail. Xia En was silent for a moment: "You clearly know this, why do you still..." go home? Hearing this, Xia En was stunned. Description: Under the protection of the ship spirit, you can explore the deep sea with your projection body. This can only be done once a day. Captain''s dignity The situation at sea is extremely complex, and there will always be times when you are overwhelmed. You must know that under the sea level of this world, the land and cities of the previous era are buried, and countless heritages and secret treasures are hidden in the deep sea. This panel is a bit like a sailing game he played before traveling through time, but the content is slightly different. ?Shaan had a strange expression. Sean showed a tough attitude: "As the captain, I need to know the reason why you boarded the ship, otherwise I can''t rest assured." You have a boat and can go to sea, thats enough. ?It can be seen that the temptation of treasures under the sea is great. Until Xia En''s voice came from the front: "Okay, boy, don''t be in a daze!" ??This man was thin and small, like a bean sprout, not more than 1.5 meters tall. ??He doesn''t think there is any unreasonable kindness in the world. Joey''s willingness to board his "thief ship" probably has a special purpose. Please bind your ship! After seeing the words on the panel clearly, Xia En was stunned for a moment, and then felt ecstatic. ??Joy shrugged, spread his hands and said: "The reason is simple, I don''t care." next moment. Unlock exclusive talents: Captain''s majesty; deep sea diving! Talent: Not yet unlocked ??Even the Duke of Nova has to send ships regularly to salvage from the bottom of the sea. ?Xia Ens heart was pounding. ?Other sailors were avoiding him, so why did this young man take the initiative to find him? But to be honest, even if he has the talent of [Captains Majesty], Shane still needs crew members. ??Joy finished a long conversation, then lowered his head as if he was giving up on himself: "Mr. Captain, I''m done, you can laugh if you want." Xia En naturally did not hesitate: "Bind [Black Swan]!" Xia En thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me the reason why you did this?" Over time, he has gotten used to it. If you want to get along well, you must have a golden finger! Deep Sea Diving I am the ship! ??Doesnt it mean that the stronger the overall strength of the Black Swan is, the stronger I, as the captain, will be? As for [Deep Sea Diving], it seems a bit mysterious just by looking at the description. "I know about you. Everyone says that you are a pretty boy who is about to be bought by the Duke, so they don''t dare to go to sea with you." ??The short boy said directly: "My name is Joey. I just heard that a captain was recruiting sailors at the dock. I came here to take a look." Thats right, who are you? Hang up! ?Moreover, the crewman can temporarily hide his specialness. Could it be that the original owners share is also included? Therefore, salvagers are also the profession with the highest death rate at sea. "The body of the projection...means that even if the projection is destroyed in the sea, it will not cause harm to my body?" In other words, we can explore the deep sea without any harm? ?Shaan turned around and saw that the person speaking was a short man with a strange appearance. ??The whole body is wrapped tightly in coarse linen clothes, and it is impossible to distinguish between male and female. Even among the wild-looking sailors, they are considered the weirdest group. When you stare into the deep sea, the deep sea also stares into you. ?Huge water pressure, turbulent undercurrents, terrifying alien sea beasts...each of them is enough to kill people. Skills: Navigation (Introduction), Astrology (Introduction), Fishing (Introduction), Deck Combat (Introduction) ?Joy stood there, still in a daze, unable to figure out what he meant. But I know that if I just stay on this island, I will never be able to go home, so I must go to sea and go further. But generally speaking, there is only one initial entry. Simple and crude, but powerful! ?Furthermore, the hull itself can be modified and strengthened, and the crew can be continuously recruited. Quality: Myth ??Every time he finished speaking his thoughts, he would only get ridicule from others. ?Just when Joey thought he would hear sarcasm as usual, a big hand fell on his shoulder. "All right." ?His hair is thick and messy, covering his eyes. The color of his hair is an unnatural dark purple with large and small white patches, as if the hair has not been dyed evenly. In the sailing game from the previous life, each player had a chance to awaken their talents, which was equivalent to a random initial entry. Also, you can permanently obtain some attributes and abilities of the ship and crew. ?Xia Ens eyes almost glowed when he thought of this. ??Joy was stunned and turned his face slightly: "Can I not answer this question?" Quality: Legend ??Xia En did not show a strange expression because of his appearance, but asked gently. ??Joy sighed: "I want to go home, that''s all." But when it comes to "exploring the deep sea", Xia En is not sleepy. The fate of the two seems to be bound together. My home is on an island in the sea, but I dont know where it is and I dont have any clues. Hey, Mr. Captain, are you recruiting sailors? Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin) - You have stronger water nature than ordinary people. ??This is so cool, right? Ship: Not yet bound The effect of [Captains Majesty] is not difficult to understand. Not only does it give Xia En the ability to control the ship alone, but it also permanently enhances his own strength. He heard the young captain say: "There''s nothing funny about wanting to go home." ?Xia En calmed down and carefully looked at the descriptions of the two talents. ?Two lines of prompts appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. ?Shaen was quite satisfied with these two talents, but he still calmed down and went to the dock to buy supplies for going to sea. Secret Career: None In the memory of the original owner, I often heard of people who had salvaged valuable property from the bottom of the sea, or equipment containing extraordinary secret power, and then turned around and became famous in one fell swoop. Note: Exclusive talents can be unlocked after binding. But correspondingly, there are countless dangers hidden under the sea. Then, the other party turned around and walked towards the ship on the shore. Out of good intentions, Shane reminded: "Maybe you don''t know, I am Shane, and I have a little conflict with the Duke of Nova on the island..." Exclusive talent? Or two? Now, follow me! Congratulations on becoming the first crew member of the Black Swans new career, and the journey of the great captain Shane is about to begin! (End of this chapter) Chapter 3 start sailing! Chapter 3 Raise the sails and set sail! Step onto the deck of the Black Swan. ?Shaan looked around. Compared with the memory, the boat seemed much empty now. It seems that Renate and the others have moved all their luggage. ?Perhaps affected by the memory of the original owner, Xia En actually felt a little melancholy. But soon, this mood was replaced by anticipation and joy. Let me see, what are these two talents? After instructing Joey to move the supplies into the storage room of the cabin, Shane walked straight to the platform where the rudder was. The rudder in front of him is very old, completely black, and engraved with some complicated patterns. For some reason, it seemed to be trembling slightly, as if to welcome its own arrival. Without any hesitation, Shane put his hand on the rudder. The next moment, a sudden change occurred! ?A roar like a tsunami exploded in his mind, as if there were countless voices calling his name, or as if there were thousands of people singing a vast barcarolle together. An ancient and mysterious wave rolled in from an unexplorable place, washing away Shane''s body and soul. ?At this moment, the Black Swan seemed to be integrated with him. The rudder, deck, sails, mast, anchor...Xia En could clearly feel every corner and every joint of the ship, even better than he knew his own body. They became part of Shane''s body and an extension of his will. Xia En suddenly felt an uncontrollable impulse in his heart. At this moment, at this moment! "start sailing!" As he made up his mind, Black Swan naturally responded. ?The heavy anchor retracts on its own, and the sail rises up along the mast, automatically fine-tuning to an angle that adapts to the wind direction, absorbing the power of the sea breeze. ?The sea water lapped against the hull of the ship, and the Black Swan slowly sailed out of the port surrounded by waves. A corner of the pier. The old butler in a suit nodded with satisfaction: "Jason, you did a good job this time." ??The black man Jason had a flattering smile on his face: "I''ll do the work, don''t worry." The brothers on the boat actually didnt want to follow Xia En for a long time, so I told them casually, and we all left together. "I also revealed the news to the sailors on the dock. Now, I''m sure that Xia En won''t even be able to go to sea." The old housekeeper smiled: "No matter what, you have the credit for this matter." The next time [Blood Duke] goes to sea, there will be a place for you. ?Hearing this, Jason was so excited that his whole body trembled. Blood Duke, that is the Duke''s ship! ?Getting on this ship means hugging the Duke''s lap. Isn''t this more promising than staying on the little Black Swan? ?Thinking of this, Jason felt more and more that his choice was right. ??Although the old captain treated him well, he not only saved his life, but also taught him the skills of a sailor. But before was before and now is now. ??Compared to following the young and naive Xia En, of course he would rather be the Duke''s dog. ?At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the dock. Jason and the old butler followed the crowds gaze. ?On the sparkling sea, I saw a ship with a black swan carved on its bow. It had raised its sails and headed towards the endless blue sea shrouded in the sun. ??The young captain stood on the deck, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands. There was no uneasiness on his face, only excitement and expectation. Set sail in high spirits! Seeing this, the old housekeeper''s face darkened: "Didn''t you say that he can''t get out of the sea?" ??Cold sweat broke out from Jason''s back instantly, and he murmured: "It shouldn''t be..." He hurriedly ran to ask the nearby sailors: "Damn it, which idiot got on Sean''s boat?" Someone replied: "I just saw... Joey walking towards the Black Swan." Joy? Is it the Joey who is afraid of water? ?Hearing this name, Jason immediately relaxed his expression and sneered: "It seems that Shane is really desperate and will recruit anyone." A pretty-faced captain and a sailor who cant swim are really a pair made in heaven. When two people go to sea, whether they can return is a question. The old housekeeper frowned. Reason told him that Jason''s judgment was correct. How big a wave can just two people make? ?But for some reason, looking at the Black Swan''s receding silhouette, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart. at the same time. ?Shaan on the deck certainly didnt know what the people on the shore were thinking. He was immersed in the joy of racing on the sea. This is so much more fun than drag racing! The blowing sea breeze, the golden sunshine, the sound of the waves...the wonderful sensory experience of completely controlling the ship is really an extraordinary enjoyment. ?What is this called, man and ship becoming one? At this moment, Joey climbed up from the storage room, his expression still a little dazed. I havent done anything yet. Why did you set sail? Can the captain alone be qualified to sail the ship? Even though the Black Swan is only a small and medium-sized ketch, normally it must be equipped with at least ten sailors. At this time, Joey looked at the unmanned sails that were also automatically adjusting, and couldn''t help but widen his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost. The secret wayfarer! Captain Shane, is he actually a secret traveler? ?Xia En, who was sailing the boat, couldn''t help but be stunned when he heard this. "ah?" How come I am a mystical person? ?Shaan tried hard to recall the information about the Mystic Path. ?This world has its own extraordinary system, which is the secret profession. It is said that there are thirty-two secret paths in the world, and each secret path has nine steps. It is said that after climbing all nine steps, one can transform into a **** and control the highest and most powerful power. One of the secret professions is [Captain]. Captainalso has the extraordinary power to control the ship. Thinking about it, Joey had a misunderstanding because of this. ?However, this misunderstanding was just fine for Xia En, and he did not take the initiative to explain it. On the other hand, after holding the rudder, Shane was also able to check the attributes of the Black Swan. Codename: Black Swan Type: Ketch Size: small to medium Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (0%) Attributes: Firepower 1, Speed ??3, Solidity 3, Mystery 0 Durability: 89/100 (slight damage to the rear side) Core components: old single cannon (inferior), generally strong sails (ordinary), rough wooden hull (ordinary) Crew: Joey (unbound) Note: The crew members can only be bound after living on the ship for one month. ??This panel called [Eye of the Secret Sea], like the previous navigation games, converts the firepower, speed and other attributes of the ship into intuitive data. As for the core components, it is not difficult to understand. As long as these components are optimized, the attributes of the ship can obviously be improved. ?Of course, there are many elements and components that determine the attributes of a ship, and the panel has undoubtedly been somewhat simplified. ??The only thing that made Xia En a little confused was the [Ship Spirit Level]. The panel did not say how to improve it. Speaking of which, another effect of [Captains Prestige] seems to be to gain the attributes of a ship? ?Shaan temporarily let go of the rudder and took a closer look at his own condition. "Huh?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 4 First time [submersible] Chapter 4 First Time [Submarine] ?Xia En was greatly surprised by this careful understanding. The physical fitness of the original owner is actually that of an ordinary adult male, there is nothing special about it. However, at this time, there was an extraordinary power flowing in his body. ?This power made Xia En''s figure more well-proportioned and stronger. You can even feel clear muscle lines by touching it with your hand. Xia En clenched his fist and felt that there was endless strength in his body, and he started swinging it vigorously. As a mythical [deep-sea submersible], what kind of surprises will it bring to him? ??Moreover, the current Black Swan still has a lot of room for improvement! The water pressure and water temperature are all as if they are isolated from the outside by a thin film. ??As long as you think about it, you can switch to the main body, and you can also exit the [submersible] state at any time. Captain''s MajestyThis legendary talent is already very strong. ?Offshore ruins like this have generally been searched countless times by various salvage ships, and there are probably not many good things inside. ah? That''s it? ??Xia En was very surprised. He thought it would be a tough fight, but ended up being defeated with just one punch? ?After admiring her beauty in the mirror, Xia En walked to the navigation table. ??If someone observed it from a distance, they would probably only see a strange black shadow. ?After sensing Shane''s arrival, the saw shark twisted its body, cut the water flow with its sharp saw-like snout, and swam in quickly. ??He used his superficial knowledge of biology to recognize that this was a saw shark among sharks, with a very ferocious temperament. ?Shaan also discovered that he still had the perception of the body in the captain''s cabin, as if he was doing two things at once. Move freely, even smoother than on land. I have to say that seeing it with my own eyes and using video materials have completely different impact. Xia En let out a low exclamation in his heart. But its not a bad target for a first dive. After a while, he reached the bottom of the sea. ?Xia En thought as he dived quickly. ?At that time, how high will your combat effectiveness be? ??Furthermore, Xia En still remembers that in the sailing game in the previous life, there was not only one ship that could be bound... Immediately afterwards, his consciousness continued to sink and sink again. Countless strands of slender light were being stripped away from his body, replaced by deep darkness. A mirror as tall as one person is fixed on the wall on the left hand side. ??The captain''s cabin is still the same as in the memory, with almost no decorations. Everything that can be sold for money has been sold by the original owner, so it looks a bit simple and shabby. "Could it be that?" There are many pieces of paper scattered on the table. There are charts of this sea area, details of compensation cargo, and files of sailors such as Renate and Jason. Key information has been circled with a quill. The future is promising, the future is promising! Is this the succubus bloodline? Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. ?Hair of light blond hair is extremely soft, his eyes are the blue of the sea, his good-looking facial features are closer to handsome than handsome, and his temperament is even a bit weak. ifier Obviously, he is still just a beautiful boy who has not shed his childishness. Xia En had a clear idea in his mind: "Is this the asylum of the ship soul?" ?Shaan was inexplicably curious. What did the ancestors of the original owner do to the succubus? You are so good-looking, you are worthy of me! But then I thought about it, this is a projection body anyway, what is there to be afraid of? At this time, Shane''s hands left the rudder, but the Black Swan was still moving forward steadily according to the previous course. It can be seen that although the original owner is young, he is also working hard to learn to be a qualified captain. At the moment when he was thinking silently in his heart, Xia En''s eyesight went dark at first. I dont know how long it has been, maybe a second, or maybe a year. ?This ruins is composed of several submerged houses. The wooden doors and glass are covered with green hair, and they look very old. ??Cartilaginous fish like saw sharks have low defenses, so they were caught off guard and received his powerful punch. Seeing himself in the mirror, Xia En suddenly understood why Duke Nova fell in love with him. Xia En turned around and saw what he looked like in the mirror. The most amazing thing is that even though he was in the sea, Xia En didn''t feel like he couldn''t breathe. If more cannons are installed, the sails are replaced by steam turbines, and the hull is reinforced with steel... Not only that, the skin has also become more delicate and tough, unlike before. Thinking of this, Xia En took the initiative to face the saw shark, used all his strength, and punched it in the head. Unfortunately, his luck was not very good. Firepower, speed, sturdiness Could it correspond to my strength, speed, and defense respectively? Looking up, the sunlight shining into the sea water scatters into a spherical halo, which is magnificent and beautiful. ?Xia Ens eyes were bright and his expression was extremely exciting. ?This is still an offshore area, the depth of the water is not exaggerated, and several dilapidated underwater ruins can be vaguely seen. He had never dived underwater when he was on Earth, but had only seen similar scenes from documentaries and the like. ??Although he still doesnt know the conversion ratio between the two, Xia En estimates that his physical fitness at this time has exceeded the limit of ordinary humans and has entered the category of a mystic! ??Xia En murmured excitedly, with growing anticipation in his heart. He still underestimated the attribute bonus brought by [Captains Prestige]. After getting familiar with the action patterns under the sea, Xia En lowered his head and looked at the deeper sea below. Xia En raised his brows, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and scratched the back of his hand with a little force. Surprisingly, only a white mark was left. What a magical feeling. "yes." boom! ?There was a muffled sound in the water. Start diving? "Wow" Furthermore, this saw shark seems to be a bit too big! ?General saw sharks are usually only about one meter in length, and it is almost impossible to grow to two meters. Just as Xia En was about to enter the house to search, a shark suddenly emerged from the window of the room next to him! ??This shark is gray-black all over, with a body length of two meters. Its snout is in the shape of a slender sword with sharp serrations on both sides. ?Shaan sighed, sat down at the navigation table, and tapped the [Deep Sea Diving] on the panel with his mind. ?Seeing this, Xia En panicked at first. ??The saw shark''s skull was directly dented, and blood spurted out. It twitched twice in the seawater, and then completely stopped moving. ?Xia En carefully observed his current state and found that the whole body was somewhat illusory, appearing chaotic and blurry in the sea water. Surrounded by clear water, it is like being in a huge, crystal clear sapphire. ??This is not a pure rich woman harvester? Subsequently, my consciousness was wrapped in something gentle and kind, feeling indescribably safe and comfortable, just like being in a mother''s arms. Xia En opened his eyes again and was already under the sea. Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. He simply asked Joey to watch on the deck and walked back to the captain''s cabin. Now its a ghost in the deep sea. ??It was like being violently hit by the Black Swan, and was directly transported to a different world. At the same time, several lines of information also emerged. (End of this chapter) Chapter 5 【Secret Sea Crystal】 Chapter 5 [Secret Sea Crystal] Kill Alienated Saw Shark Get loot: fresh saw shark carcass Quality: Ordinary Type: Material Description: Creatures born in seawater rich in secret power are naturally more powerful, but they are also a high-quality food. The jagged snout may be a good weapon, right? ?Taking this time, Xia En began to think about his next plan. 3.Fresh saw shark carcass Pirate Ship! Since ancient times, the golden belt of murder and arson has been an unchanging law, especially in this chaotic sea. Xia En said rationally and confidently: "Why, haven''t you seen fishing?" ?It was once the prosperous capital of a kingdom, with many buildings, a vast area, and an extremely complex environment. Because of this, Joey, who had hidden something, felt a little uneasy. Quality: Rare ??Xia En narrowed his eyes. He remembered that there was an underwater ruin called "Coral City" near Duke Island. ?Shane made the decision without hesitation. ??Joy happened to be a little tired, so he honestly walked into the cabin to rest. ??Shallow Sea''s explosion rate is obviously not too high. Although he killed some underwater creatures one after another, none of them exploded the [Secret Sea Crystal]. If you want to pay off the money, it will take a lot of time just to explore such small ruins in the offshore waters. Only by going to farther seas can you get rich. The primary goal now is to dive into the deep sea every day and not lose anything we can catch. It is best to find a long-term exploration relic under the sea. ?Xia En secretly complained. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? ?Xia Ens eyes lit up and his heart beat violently. After that, whether you go to the sea yourself or send out salvage crews, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Type: Material "Well, you''re probably tired too. Just go find a room and rest for a while. I''ll call you when I catch a fish." Its best if you can catch it, but it doesnt matter if you cant catch it. This is a huge sum of money, enough to buy the entire Black Swan. As soon as Xia En''s mind turned around, he came up with an excellent idea. Although the description said it was an ingredient, he remembered that shark meat contained a large amount of urea and it would taste like urine. ?At this moment, Xia En noticed something like a progress bar in the lower right corner of his field of vision, which was still shortening. However, the dangers in the open sea are far greater than those in the near sea. Including interest, I have to pay back a total of 350 silver snake coins. ?Looking at Shane who took out a long fishing rod, Joey showed a puzzled expression. Thus, in the process of exploring the rules and searching abandoned houses, the first [submersible] ended. Ship Soul Power LV1: 89/100 Talent: can be viewed after binding The connection between him and the ship soul seems to have become closer because of this. Perhaps the depth of the water also plays a role? ?Shaan silently set two small goals in his mind, and then thought: "I still have to ask Joey what he knows and whether he is qualified to work as a salvager." If he guessed correctly, this is exactly the emotion conveyed by [Black Swan]. Captain Shane, you are quite a nice guy. Please choose your trophy! Secret Career: None Is there such a good thing? ?As Xia En expected, this ruins had long been plundered. A moment later, on the deck. 2.Damaged wooden board ?Shaan touched his chin and asked the most classic question from the Foodie Empire. ?Just from getting along with him for half a day, he could see to some extent that although the captain had a weird temperament and behavior, he was essentially a good person. ?Small and medium-sized ships like the Black Swan are easy targets for pirates. Immediately, a refreshing and cool breath surged up and flowed through the limbs, making it very comfortable. at the same time. ?Xia En opened his eyes and his mind returned to the captain''s cabin. In front of him, there lay a tragically dead saw shark. The shark was still wet, soaking the floor of the captain''s cabin, as if it had just been fished out of the water. On a ship, the captains orders are greater than the sky. Because the seawater submerged the land of the previous era, things containing mysterious powers in the city leaked into the ocean, causing large-scale [extraordinary pollution], which led to widespread alienation of marine life. This is like an oxygen tank during diving. If it drops to 0, the projected body will be destroyed. By this time, Xia En basically understood the use of the talent [Deep Sea Scuba Diving]. Please remember, it is alive! At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was a crew column on the panel, so he opened it and took a look. On the other hand, increasing the [sturdiness] attribute of the ship and increasing the level of the ships soul can increase the time spent on the seabed. ??Even he can control the projection body to assist the crew in salvage. 1.A clock full of rust Description: The crystal formed by the secret power in the ocean can be directly absorbed by the "Eye of the Secret Sea" to improve the ship soul level and ship attributes. Projection Body "absorb!" In the deep sea, there are countless terrifying sea monsters with strange abilities. While checking it, Xia En watched helplessly as the number of the ship''s soul power dropped from "90" to "89." ?From the saw shark''s belly, a piece of faint blue crystal floated out and merged directly into the body of the projection. He was curious before about how [Ship Soul Level] could be improved, and now he finally got the answer. Of course, it goes without saying that there are dangers under the sea. More importantly, there is often a presence near larger ruins that makes ordinary ships frightened. Moreover, attacking or being attacked seems to accelerate its loss. Just a trophy? Who are you looking down on? ?At this moment, a few more lines of prompts flashed on the gray panel. Skill: Can be viewed after binding Note: You can only bring back one piece of loot per dive, please choose carefully. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (2%) ?This is exactly the same as his idea of ??playing games in his previous life. Not only can you hunt sea beasts, obtain the [Secret Sea Crystals] in their bodies, and defeat monsters to upgrade. Mr. Captain, what are you doing? Open the panel to view. Ship Soul Asylum: When submerged, the projected body can move freely in the sea water. It can also find out the situation of the seabed in advance and obtain sufficient information. Secret Sea Crystal the other side. ?Anyway, it was his first exploration. Xia En didnt care much about the gains from this trip, but focused more on exploring the rules. ?Going to the bottom of the sea to salvage is very dangerous, so wouldnt it be better to just rob the salvage ship? In this regard, Xia En is still somewhat self-aware. Bloodline: Siren (rich) Even today, the secret treasures in the city have not been fully discovered. But when the power of the ship soul is exhausted, it will automatically exit the submersible state. ??Whether it is body shape or physiological structure, it is obviously different from the creatures on the earth. There was a burst of cheering in Xia En''s ears, as if to express his gratitude. ?Shane actually has no experience in sea fishing. Fishing is not only a way to kill time, but also a reasonable excuse for the saw shark carcass. Is this thing... edible? Lying on the wooden bed, Joey thought to himself. My current combat power is probably only at the level of a first-order Mystic Pathfinder. In the end, the most valuable harvest was the shark''s carcass. ? Even many salvage ships themselves dont mind playing the role of pirate ships occasionally. ?Shaan had already fixed the fishing rod on the edge of the boat. After casually loading the bait and casting the rod, he sat down on a stool nearby. Its okay to meet ordinary fish pirates, but if you run into a big pirate on the bounty list, you probably wont be able to escape. Obviously, just being in the sea water is constantly consuming the power of the ship''s soul. Ill know if it tastes good or not, Ill try it later, but I still have to explain to Joey where this shark came from Secondly, we need to improve ourselves and the Black Swans strength. Perhaps, alienated sharks will be different? Crew: Joey (unbound) Description: A mysterious girl with many secrets, her biggest wish is to return to her hometown. We are all homeless people. (End of this chapter) Chapter 6 Anglers will never be in the air force Chapter 6 Anglers Never Air Force ??? ??Xia En had many questions in his mind. ?Girl? ??Joy turns out to be a girl? Looking back carefully, Joey does not show clear gender characteristics. ??The name itself is unisex, and coupled with her rough and weird appearance, Xia En subconsciously thought of her as a teenager. Thinking about it now, it was probably a disguise she made, and it was also a kind of self-protection for the weak. Oh, so thats it. If we use three poles together, I dont believe we cant catch fish! After a brief surprise, Xia En quickly calmed down. ?As long as Joey can be a qualified crew member and work for herself, no matter how big of a secret she has, Xia En won''t bother to pursue it. ??Joy wiped the sweat from his forehead with his small hands, and said with excitement in his voice: "Such a big fish, I should be able to eat it for several days!" ??Joy smiled shyly: "I worked in a tavern on the island for two years before. I learned a few tricks from the old master there and knew a little bit about cooking." Cough cough cough Since then, she has understood that when hunger exceeds the critical point, death will visit her in her sleep. ??Joy woke up from the bed in a daze, his head still a little dizzy. ?Watching Joey''s back leave, Shane wiped his sweat and kicked the fishing rod next to him in anger. Huh? Didnt the captain come to call me? ?Joy felt as if she had slept for a long time. She looked out the window and found that it was completely dark. ??Joy lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, but finally took the initiative and said: "Mr. Captain, let me tell you honestly." When Xia En walked to the kitchen, he saw that under the light of the kerosene lamp, the previous saw shark had been cut into eight pieces, and the bones and internal organs were taken out and thrown aside. ?As soon as he finished clearing the deck, Shane heard a low exclamation coming from the cabin. He couldn''t help but nodded secretly. Subsequently, she saw an extremely strange scene on the deck. Hey, I still dont believe it! Come again! If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be a mythical creature? It is said that the Siren is a sea monster with a human face and a fish body. It has a beautiful appearance and an elegant body. It will use its melodious singing voice to lure ships on the sea. When the sailors come to their senses, the ship has hit the rocks and sunk. ?This was just an ordinary question, but Joey''s reaction was a bit loud, as if he was choking on a fish bone, and he coughed violently. I cant tell that this little girl still has this skill. ifier It is both a succubus and a siren, so the XP is really extraordinary. Just wait and try my craftsmanship! Even some ships would rather carry ewes than women on board, considering it a taboo. ?Over the past few hours, Xia En has discovered to some extent that his fishing talent seems to be a bit skewed. When sailing on the sea, a good cook is also very important. These things were all caught by the captain? But what about the fish? Where are the fish? At this time, Xia En also noticed Joey''s arrival, coughed twice and said. Her hungry stomach urged her to get up. Sirens Okay, Ill go right away. ?Xia En took a brief taste of the shark soup, and it tasted unexpectedly delicious. In some legends, sirens are beings with bird heads and human bodies or human heads and bird bodies. Xia En''s face turned slightly red. Although this saw shark was his trophy, it had nothing to do with fishing. I can do all the odd jobs on the ship, but my physique is different from ordinary peoples. I cant swim in the sea, and I cant work as a salvager. There weren''t any fish at all, just a bunch of random things being caught. ?However, looking at the description on the panel, it seems that Joey is not a pure-blooded siren, but a human with the blood of a siren. Paired with some bread bought on the island, this is a good dinner. After all, women have always been in a weak position at sea. Thinking of this, Xia En''s mentality instantly calmed down, and he still had the time to look at the undulating buoys on the sea. ?Joy was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response. Including but not limited to a coarse sack, a large mass of black algae, a boot with a big hole, and even a skull head with empty eye sockets staring ahead, seemingly resentful.? ? ? Joey: Xia En asked casually: "Speaking of which, besides cooking, what else do you have? Can you dive and salvage?" ?Shaan frowned strangely: "Huh?" A fish is hooked! ?Of course, there are also strong women who can break through this unequal discrimination. Shaked his head and put the bad memories behind him, Joey thought strangely. ?At his feet lay a mess of strange things. Either become a sailor on the ship, or be the captain yourself, control the ship and set sail! What worries Xia En even more is Joey''s bloodline. Wow, what a big fish! But soon, Shane noticed that even when cooking sharks, Joey was still tightly wrapped up, and her seaweed-like hair covered half of her face. People were curious about how she looked under such a field of vision. work. ?Are all humans in this world playing this wild? ?Lying in bed hungry was an unpleasant memory for Joy. When she was younger, she relied on sleeping to get through her hungriest moments, almost falling into eternal sleep. ?On Earth, if he could catch such a big fish, he would probably have to hang out on the street until dark before going home. The fisherman''s soul in Xia En''s heart burned brightly, so he simply took out two more fishing rods from the cabin. ?Xia En took a slight breath. ?Who in this world doesnt have some secrets yet? Not long after, Xia En fell into silence while looking at a coarse sack he had caught. Xia En looked happy and said to himself excitedly: "I knew it, how could I be in the Air Force?" Not long after, two large bowls of fragrant fish soup were brought to the table. ?Captain Shane is sitting next to three fishing rods, staring at the vast sea in front of him with red eyes, like a gambler who has lost his money. ?He quickly walked to the fishing rod and began to lift the rod and reel in the line. ?Shaan: ??And Joey was standing among them holding a blood-stained bone-cutting knife, his clothes stained with blood. Joy, can you cook fish? I cant leave here yet, why dont you help me take care of it? ??In addition to the variation in the shark''s own physiological structure, Joey''s cooking skills also played a big role. Ahem, you may not believe it, but I actually caught a big one and put it in the kitchen, which is the innermost room of the cabin. ??It didn''t matter to him whether Joey was male or female, siren or human. The expected fishy smell is very light and within the acceptable range. ?The sea at night seemed darker and more terrifying, making her feel like she couldn''t bear to look directly. After a bowl of hot soup, Xia En could not help but praise as his body warmed up. Captain, you are here. This is also another kind of...Never Air Force? There was no use keeping the **** on the boat, so Xia En simply threw it back into the sea. ?With this image, he could definitely make a cameo on the set of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night". Out of instinct for food, Joey left the room and walked toward the deck. Suddenly, the front end of the fishing rod beside him bent slightly, and the fishing line suddenly became taut. ?Shaan watched for a while and noticed that Joey was packing the ingredients very neatly. He looked like someone who had been in the kitchen. Joy, you are good at this craft! Next time, dont let me catch you again! Recommendations please! Please collect! ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 7 Undersea Shipwreck (Please recommend! Please collect!) Chapter 7 Shipwreck on the Seabed (Please recommend! Please collect!) Cant swim in the sea? After hearing these words, Xia En showed an unexpected expression. In this world, swimming can be said to be a basic skill that everyone can master, not to mention that Joey also has a strong siren bloodline. Which siren is a landlubber? ?However, Shane also noticed that Joey said "can''t" instead of "won''t", which was a bit intriguing. at the same time. ?Joy pursed his lips and looked at the captain in front of him anxiously. She had hitched a ride on several downwind boats in the past and had expressed a desire to stay on board. But when she explained that she could not go to sea, the originally enthusiastic captain immediately became cold, and the sailors did not hesitate to ridicule her and spread the matter as a joke. So much so that on the island, she got the nickname "Joy who is afraid of water". Are you going to be kicked off the ship again this time? ?Just when Joey felt sad, Shane said: "Oh, that''s it. It seems that next time we return to the island, we will have to recruit a special salvage crew." ?Joy was stunned for a moment and hesitated to speak: "Captain, don''t you...don''t care..." "Um?" Xia En saw Joey''s concerns and said calmly: "If you can''t go into the sea, just don''t do it. The Pirate King Luffy can''t swim, so why can''t he still be successful?" Captain...who is Wang Lufei? Ahem, hes a powerful person you dont recognize. Xia En coughed twice: "Anyway, don''t worry, I won''t dislike you because of this trivial matter." With that said, he stood up and walked out of the kitchen: "It''s getting late, go to bed early." This is your first night on board the Black Swan, I wish you sweet dreams. ??Joy stood there blankly, and after a long time, he whispered something. Mr. Captain, I also wish you sweet dreams. ?What Joey didnt know was that this was actually Shanes first night on board the Black Swan. ?However, due to the presence of [Captains Majesty], he slept extremely peacefully, and the waves and bumps on the sea did not affect his sleep at all. When I woke up, the sky was bright. ?Shaan glanced at the panel. The options for Deep Sea Diving are still bleak. "It seems that once a day here means once every 24 hours, not refresh at 0 o''clock." ?Xia En touched his chin and felt that it made sense. The recovery of [Ship Soul Power] takes time, rather than being refreshed regularly like in mobile games. Fortunately, the last thing he lacks now is patience. In a blink of an eye, its time to refresh [Deep Sea Diving]. Xia En thought silently in his heart. Submarine, start! When he opened his eyes, he was in the water at the bottom of the boat again. ?With the experience last time, Xia En knew not to waste time, so he lowered his head and started searching the nearby seabed. In this search, I really made an unexpected discovery. Beside a reef a few hundred meters away from the initial anchor point, there was a black sunken ship lying there! At first, Sean thought it was an old house. After getting closer, he recognized its identity from the slender mast and fusiform cabin. Xia En''s mood suddenly became excited. During the Age of Discovery, ships sank to the bottom of the sea almost every day due to shipwrecks, naval battles and other reasons. This also leads to ? Shipwrecks on the seabed are often "fresher" than submerged urban ruins, and they are likely to be "virgin lands" that have not been developed. The rust on this ship is not very serious, and there is not much seaweed. It should have sunk recently. ?Xia En thought as he quickly dived and soon arrived near the cabin of the sunken ship. ?This ship is not small in size, even larger than the Black Swan. Looking at the closed cabin door, Xia En was delighted: "There''s something going on!" If it were a sunken ship that had been salvaged, the hatch would have been damaged by predecessors and would never be so completely preserved. Thinking of this, Xia En decisively controlled the [Black Swan] to anchor in place to avoid finding this place during the next dive. Then, he swam to the hatch and pushed it gently. The flimsy wooden board is like paper and breaks when touched. ?Shaen, who has obtained some of the attributes of [Black Swan], is simply a little superman, who can easily do many things that ordinary people cannot do. ?However, Xia Ens heart was not inflated. ?Compared with the truly powerful alienated sea beast, he is just a little shrimp now. ? Pushing open the hatch, Xia En was about to go deep inside when he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Suddenly, a large claw like a hammer smashed out of the darkness! Damn it, open the door and kill, right? ?Xia En''s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped back, narrowly avoiding the pincer''s attack. But the raging water still hurt his cheek. Ship Soul Power -2! ?Xia Ens face suddenly changed slightly. [The power of the ship soul] is equivalent to the health of this projected body. Once it drops to zero, the submersible voyage ends. He looked into the shadows of the cabin. ?A green giant crab the size of a human was holding up a pair of large claws and looking at him eagerly. ??This alienated giant crab probably got in through a hole in the hull, and then made its home in the cabin. ??If Xia En had not hid in time, the blow just now would have been enough to kill the projection body! Looks like I have to eat meat and crab soup today! Xia En knew that if he wanted to explore the inside of this sunken ship, this giant crab would be an inevitable enemy. ??Moreover, there is a high probability that [Secret Sea Crystal] will exist in the body of an alienated sea beast like this. He had no reason to give in either to emotion or to reason. But this guy is covered in hard shells. With my current strength, I wonder if I can break through its defense? It would be nice if I had a handy weapon. ??Xia En''s eyes swept around and quickly fell on something on the sloping deck. ??This is a pitch-black iron hook embedded in a wooden board. It is as long as an arm. It should be used to fix cables and sails. Its up to you! ??Xia En quickly swam to the iron hook and used both hands to pull it out of the deck. rusty iron hook Quality: Ordinary Type: Weapon Description: A heavy and sturdy weapon that requires a certain strength attribute to be used. When attacking a living creature, it will have the status of "bleeding" and "tetanus". Please call me...Captain Hook! ?Xia En waved it twice and felt that it was very handy. At this time, the blue giant crab also crawled out of the doorway and chased Xia En. It also seems to regard Xia En as fresh and delicious prey. Xia En sneered: "Well done!" The space in the cabin is too narrow and difficult to maneuver, so Cancer takes the initiative, which is exactly what he wants. ?The next moment, the giant crab raised its hammer-like claws again and swept towards Xia En. With weapons, Xia En also gained confidence. ??He first turned sideways to avoid the sweeping attack, and then, looking at the right moment, he suddenly hit the joint between the crab''s claws and its body with a hook. Click! ?The force of this hook was extraordinary, and it directly broke the joints, exposing some translucent flesh and blood tissue. The loss of one of its pincers sent the crab into a frenzy. The color of its body surface quickly changes from cyan to black, and there are complex veins covering the whole body. Strange energy flows in it! The surrounding water seems to be pulled by a huge force, constantly gathering around it, like a high-speed rotating whirlpool. ?This alienated sea crab actually has the secret power to control sea water! (End of this chapter) Chapter 8 your ability is very good Chapter 8 You are very capable In the whirlpool of water. ?Xia Ens expression was a little solemn. The secret power in the sea water allows these alienated sea beasts to acquire various strange abilities. ??And this cancer''s special ability is surprisingly difficult to control water flow. At this distance, it is no longer realistic to break away from the whirlpool. To break the situation, the only way is to kill this giant crab before the whirlpool grinds Xia En into a pulp! When we meet on a narrow road...the brave one wins! Thinking of this, Xia En felt fierce, gritted his teeth, and swam towards the giant crab in the center of the whirlpool. ? Around the body, the speed of the water flow is constantly accelerating, and the sediment on the nearby seabed is also involved, and the vision begins to become turbid. Even the rocks next to the sunken ship were trembling slightly, showing the rapidity of the water. ?Xia En followed the flow of the sea water as much as possible and took a roundabout way to get closer to the cancer in the center. Even so, the number of [Ship Soul Power] on the panel is still falling rapidly. Xia En, however, completely put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, like a patient hunter, staring closely at the target in the turbid water, approaching little by little. ?After getting close enough, he suddenly burst out at full speed, turned into a black shadow, and swung the iron hook in his hand toward the giant crab''s bulging eyeball! When manipulating the water flow, Cancer''s reaction was obviously half a beat slower. It only had time to lift up the giant pincers, and the dark iron hook had already fallen! Poof! The fragile eyeball burst, and the giant crab was in pain again. The remaining giant claws danced wildly, like a sledgehammer that was swinging airtight. Once it is hit, all the muscles and bones will be broken. But madness is also a precursor to destruction! At this moment, Xia En quietly swam under the giant crab and struck out again, piercing the iron hook directly into the gap between the breastplate and the plastron. ??But anyone who has cooked crabs in the kitchen knows that this is the crabs death hole! ??Its just that at this time, Xia En was not using chopsticks, but a sharp and thick iron hook! simultaneously! Pierce the iron hook into the back of the cancer crab and stir it twice. ??The alienated sea crab trembled a few times, then stopped moving, and the surrounding water gradually calmed down. Kill the alienated sea crab Obtain trophies: fresh sea crab carcasses The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? Special secret sea crystal? Whats so special about it? ?Xia En was curious, but didnt think much about it and just chose to absorb it. The blue crystals in the sea crab''s body automatically precipitated and submerged into his body. The familiar feeling of coolness came again, like gentle water washing away his tense soul and body. Xia En narrowed his eyes, his expression was very comfortable. However, something different from last time was that another unique force seemed to have entered his body, causing it to undergo some subtle changes. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (5%) Unlock Talent: Seawater Control Quality: inferior Description: You can control the sea water within a small range around you. You send out prayers to the whole sea, and only a small amount of sea water answers you. Note: Special secret sea crystals contain special power. After absorption, different talents can be unlocked, and talents of the same type can be combined and strengthened. After seeing these lines of information clearly, Xia En''s eyes lit up and his heart beat several beats faster. Is there such a good thing? ?Doesnt this mean that I can obtain the talents of alienated sea beasts by hunting them? Your abilities are great, but now they are mine! Xia En was determined to try out this newly acquired talent, but after the hard battle just now, his spirit suddenly relaxed. For a while, his body was paralyzed in the sea water, and he didn''t want to move at all. ?However, looking at this huge crab corpse, he also felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips. Hmph, you still want to eat me? Ill make you the main dish tonight! Suddenly, there was another movement in the surrounding water. A shadow slightly smaller than the giant crab appeared from the turbid water. Xia Ens smile suddenly settled on his face. Submarine is over! ]????Please choose your trophies! 1.Rusty iron hook 2.Fresh sea crab carcasses 3.A handful of seaweed "You don''t have martial ethics! You actually attacked me, an eighteen-year-old young man!" In the captain''s cabin, Xia En opened his eyes and said angrily. He really didnt expect that there would be an alienated sea crab in the sunken ship. The last image in his memory was the tragic scene of the projected body being split in two by crab claws. Unlike last time when the [Ship Soul Power] consumed itself and exited the submersible, the pain of the death of the projected body still remained in Xia Ens mind, leaving him with lingering fears. Leaning on the captain''s chair to rest for a while, Shane opened the panel and decisively selected the body of the sea crab. ?The iron hook is placed on the seabed and can be used as a weapon the next time you dive. The next moment, the giant crab appeared in front of him, along with the broken claws. Such a big crab, it must taste good, right? ?Shaan swallowed silently and began to look forward to tonight''s dinner. In fact, an alienated sea beast like this could be sold for a few silver snake coins on an island. But compared with the huge sum of money that Xia En owed, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Furthermore, aquatic organisms decompose extremely quickly after death. By the time its shipped back to the island, the meat might smell bad, so its better to use it to satisfy your appetite. Not long after, Shane came outside the cabin and found Joey carrying a small wooden bucket and scrubbing the deck with a long-handled brush. To make it easier to work, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of snow-white slender arms. Its just that this white color is a bit unusual and has a sickly texture. Is that why shes so bundled up all the time? ?Xia En was a little curious. At this time, Joey also heard the footsteps and turned his head to look over. ShipShip Captain! ?Seeing Xia En, Joey immediately wanted to hide aside and put down his sleeves to cover his arms. However, she was obviously a little too panicked. A "clang" sound! ?Joy tripped over the hemp rope under her feet, and the bucket in her hand flipped over, drenching her to death. ??If the girl was just panicked just now, after being soaked by the sea water, her behavior could even be described as "frightened". ??Joy was shaking all over and his lips were blue, as if he had been greatly frightened. Captain, where are the towels? Or anything else that can dry up the sea water! Please, do me a favor! ?Xia En was surprised. Wasn''t it just because he got soaked in some sea water? As for such a big reaction? Is this a sensitive constitution that is different from ordinary people? ?Surprised as a surprise, Shane couldn''t just leave Joey alone. He walked quickly to the girl''s side and stretched out his right hand. Sea water control! ?Drops of seawater gradually separated from Joey''s clothes and hair, condensing in the palm of Sean''s hand and turning into a turbid water ball. This innate secret power drawn from the sea crab seems to be innate, like an arm. Shane mastered it perfectly with almost no practice. The only disadvantage is that the total amount of seawater currently controlled is extremely limited, and it does not exceed one cubic meter by visual inspection. After all, its just a [low] quality talent, so what else do you need a bicycle? ?Furthermore, according to the description on the panel, this talent can also be upgraded and strengthened! ?This made Xia En feel a little hopeful. Once it is upgraded to the quality of [Epic] or [Legend], what kind of expressiveness will it have? (End of this chapter) Chapter 9 The joy of ship spirit Chapter 9 The Joy of the Ship Soul at the same time. ?Joy, who was enjoying the drying treatment, was also secretly surprised by Xia En''s ability to control water. Is this also one of the abilities of the Mystic? As expected of Mr. Captain! Due to the current situation of the world, occupations closely related to the ocean account for nearly half of the thirty-two secret routes. Many secret professions have the ability to control sea water. This is why Xia En dared to use his talent in front of her. After a while, Joey''s clothes became dry again and his mood finally stabilized. Thank you, Captain. The girl lowered her head and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I want to go to the room and rest for a while." ?Xia En nodded: "Go." After Joey left, Shane turned to look at the sea around him. I have to say that after the initial novelty, sea voyage itself is actually a boring and boring thing. Most of the time, the surrounding sea remains unchanged and not even an island is visible. Not to mention, the Black Swan is still anchored in the same place. Looking at the half-painted deck, Xia En sighed: "It''s idle time, so just finish painting it!" He has always been a man of action and does what he says. Its amazing. ??When Xia En started cleaning, he felt a sense of joy from the deck, as if he was enjoying the process. Shaan En understood something in his heart. For most sailors, the "ship soul" is just an illusory thing, like a spiritual sustenance. ?There are very few people who can truly communicate with the ship spirit. After awakening the [Eye of the Secret Sea], he established an extremely close connection with the Ship Soul. In other words, the [Black Swan] cannot simply be regarded as a dead object, but should be regarded as a partner with a soul! Do you understand what a bond is? In the future, maybe we can even develop exciting combo skills! ?Thinking about this, Xia En became more energetic. ?After the entire deck was completely renewed, feelings of relief and gratitude came from somewhere. The ship soul is delighted! Your actions have touched the soul of the "Black Swan"! Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (6%) Black Swan "Sturdiness" +1! At the same time as the ship''s attributes increased, the gentle warmth flowed out of his heart again, strengthening Xia En''s body. Not only does the skin become tougher, but the physical fitness is also enhanced. Good, good, good, worthy of being my soul mate! Xia En looked surprised and touched the deck under his feet with a smile: "When we have money, we will definitely replace you with good equipment." ??Another hint of childish intimacy came through. After coaxing the ship spirit, Xia En was also hungry. ?He packed up his things and walked back to the cabin. He found that Joey''s door was closed and it seemed that he would not come out for a while. Looks like I have to cook today. ?Xia En felt helpless and finally realized the trouble of lack of manpower. ? ?Originally, chores such as cleaning the deck and cooking meals do not require the captain to do it himself? After returning to the island, I still have to find a way to recruit a few people. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but recall the situation when he was abandoned by his previous sailors, and added in his heart: "It''s better to say whether you are strong or weak, the key is to be reliable!" ?Walking to the kitchen, Xia En cut the crabs into eight pieces and put them into the pot to steam them in batches. ?Ingredients like this, as long as they are fresh enough, the taste is generally not that bad. Facts have proved that Shanes experience is right. As soon as the pot is opened, a unique seafood aroma wafts out. He casually opened a crab leg as thick as an arm, revealing the plump crab meat inside. ?The snow-white crab meat has a slight pink color, and it trembles and trembles, which is very attractive. ?Xia En couldn''t wait to take a bite. It was sweet and tender. It was a delicacy in the world. It was so delicious that he almost swallowed it on his tongue. Although the taste of shark soup is okay, it is far behind compared to sea crab. The meat of alienated sea beasts seems to be generally more tender than ordinary sea creatures? Xia En had a strange expression: "A foodie who is ecstatic is a yes." Then he took great pains to open the back cover of the giant crab. A lump of crab roe bigger than a human head came into view, and he was so greedy that his mouth watered. ?Taking a bite of this thing, it smells bad and makes you confused? ?So, Xia En sat in the kitchen and ate hard. I''ll ride on the horse and eat! The only problem is that the crab is too big. ??Although Xia En''s appetite has increased significantly after his physical fitness has improved, it is still unrealistic to eat a whole cancer crab. He had no choice but to cook the whole crabs as much as possible to slightly extend their shelf life. It smells so good! Half an hour later, Xia En patted his belly and felt extremely satisfied. It was really a pleasure to have such a crab meal. Oh yes, I almost forgot about my only crew member. Out of the boss'' concern for his employees, Shane came to the door of Joey''s room and knocked on the door. Joey, I caught another big crab today, do you want to try it? ! ?There was a muffled sound in the room first, like someone falling off the bed. ?Then, Joey''s voice sounded weakly: "Captain, I understand, I will go to the kitchen to get it later." Xia En didn''t think much about it. He just thought she had just woken up, so he quickly turned around and left. What Shane doesnt know is ?In the room, Joey was slumped on the floor, his tense expression gradually relaxing. She breathed a sigh of relief: "It''s so dangerous...if the captain breaks in, it will be over." The reason why she didn''t stand up was not that she didn''t want to stand up, but that she couldn''t do it. At this time, the girl''s body below the waist was no longer two slender legs, but turned into a fish-like tail. ?Smooth and white scales cover it, like pieces of crystal jade, which appear delicate and beautiful, with a faint aura from the deep sea. In some people, the siren is also called... Mermaid! the next day. Although not at the same time, it is the same place. Shane began to dive again. ?As soon as he entered the perspective of the projection body, he discovered that the progress bar representing [Ship Soul Power] in his field of vision seemed to have grown a little longer. It should be because the [Sturdiness] attribute has increased a bit? ?Xia En speculated in his mind, kept moving his body, and quickly dived to the vicinity of the sunken ship. ?With a quick glance, he found the big iron hook that he had dropped yesterday. I have to say that this thing is quite useful underwater. It is heavy and hard, and it can also deal armor-piercing damage at critical moments. The disadvantage is that it is too heavy. If Xia En had not obtained the ship attribute, he would not be able to control it. ?Hold the big iron hook, Xia En hurriedly swam towards the cabin, hoping to avenge the giant crab yesterday. But who would have thought that he actually missed it. The cabin was empty, with no sign of the giant crab at all. Thinking about it, either it went out to look for food temporarily, or it abandoned this shelter. Hmph, you can escape quickly! ?Xia En put away the iron hook with some disappointment and officially began to explore the inside of the sunken ship. Since the submersible time was limited, Xia En went straight to the captain''s cabin in the cabin. Generally speaking, the most valuable things on the entire ship are often stored here. ?Xia En couldn''t help but frown as he pushed open the half-opened door and saw the sight. (End of this chapter) Chapter 10 Harvest! Chapter 10 A great harvest! In the captain''s cabin filled with sea water. ?Several highly decomposed corpses were floating in various directions, and their skeletons were vaguely visible under the dark green corpse wax. ifier That is to say, Xia En''s body is a projection body, otherwise he would not dare to think about how sour and refreshing it would be if he personally came into contact with the seawater soaked in the corpse. The high degree of decomposition, rather than complete transformation into skeletons, indicates that their death time was approximately one to three months. Because we were in a relatively closed cabin, we were not eaten clean by fish, shrimp and other creatures. ?Xia En forced himself to calm down. Use various thoughts in your mind to get rid of the nausea and discomfort of facing the rotting corpse. The strange thing is, why are they gathered in the captains cabin? And, they dont have any brains? With a cursory glance, Xia En discovered the common features of these corpses. ?Each corpse looked like it had been beheaded by a guillotine, with the head missing and not even the skull left behind. The dark cabin, the slowly flowing filthy sea water, the headless corpses gathered together... To be honest, this scene is a bit evil and weird, like a scene where some evil ritual has been performed. But Xia En''s mood soon stabilized after a brief moment of panic. Its the body of projection anyway! At worst, you have to start over again, are you afraid? Suffice the bold to death and starve the timid to death! After thinking about this, Xia En''s thoughts suddenly became clearer and his courage became bolder. He suppressed his nausea and reached out his hand to touch the corpse. ??The touch on his palm was slippery and sticky, almost like digging out feces with gloves, but after a moment of fumbling, Xia En really got something. Get a pocket dagger. Black Stone Dagger Quality: Rare Type: Weapon Description: A short sword made of strange black stone. It is very sharp and will not be rusted by sea water. After attacking, there is a chance that the target will enter a "withered" or "rotted" state. The power of the black stone is calling me. "nice one!" ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. Obviously, this black stone dagger can be regarded as an extraordinary weapon. From memory, this kind of weapon is very popular on Duke Island, and can be sold for at least ten silver snake coins. Silver Snake Coin +10! ?As if such a reminder appeared, Xia En was in high spirits and touched even more vigorously. ?In the face of the temptation of money, what does it mean to touch a corpse? Earn money, dont be shabby! Subsequently, he took out several personal weapons. ?However, after being soaked in sea water for so long, most of them are rusty and cannot be sold for much money. The slightly more valuable items are two pieces of jewelry of average quality and a well-made pocket watch. ??Although there is a restriction that you can only bring back one piece of loot when diving, with Xia En''s amazing wisdom, he had already thought of a way to avoid this restriction while fishing yesterday. There are restrictions I have to abide by them. After searching the corpses, Xia Ens eyes fell on the table and cabinets in the captains cabin. The real good stuff is yet to come! The most eye-catching thing on the captain''s desk is a strange black box. I felt it was heavy and didnt know what was inside. Since he was in the sea and could not open it to check, Shane temporarily put it with other trophies. Following that, Xia En searched another bulging money bag in the cabinet. He weighed it and found that if it contained all silver snake coins, it should be no less than thirty. Silver Snake Coin +30! Another windfall! ?Having tasted the sweetness, Xia En immersed himself in searching for a while, trying to maximize the benefits of this submarine voyage. Time flies by. The joy of a good harvest is always short-lived. Ship Soul Power LV1: 7/100Seeing that the effect of Ship Soul''s protection was about to dissipate, Xia En decisively stopped and packed the loot together in a sack. Then, the consciousness briefly returns to the body on the boat, and throws a strong fishing net into the sea. After doing this, Shane switched back to the perspective of the projection body and left the sunken ship with a bag full of loot. Due to the weight, the power of the ship''s soul is consumed slightly faster than expected. Xia En also used [Seawater Control] to speed up the float. Just after putting the sack into the fishing net, the projected body was destroyed with a "pop". Submarine is over! ?As soon as he exited the submersible state, Xia En couldn''t wait to pick up the fishing net and drag the sack to the deck. This method really works! Looking at the bulging sack, Xia En''s face was filled with joy. ?This is the way he came up with to play skipping classes, which makes perfect use of the sneaking mechanism. ?Based on the experience of the first two submersibles, Sean found that the panel seemed to have a rather strange judgment on the spoils during submersibles. For example, it will not regard the sack filled by Sean as "a trophy", but it will regard the closed black box and the sea crab with broken pincers as a whole. So, if you want to avoid restrictions, the best way is to use the body or other crew members on the ship to cooperate. However, now I can only operate it in a single thread, and I cant really do two things at once, controlling the main body and the projection at the same time. Furthermore, this method can only be used in shallow seas. When we reach the real deep sea, just the process of rising will be enough to consume all the power of the ships soul. At that time, we still had to cooperate with salvagers to conduct seabed operations. Several thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. At the same time, he returned to the captain''s cabin with the sack and poured out all the loot inside. ??Ding Dang Dang Weapons and money bags collided with each other, making a crisp and sweet sound. Get rich, get rich. ?Xia En had a happy expression and a smile on his lips, and began to count the gains from this submarine voyage. There are a total of 36 ready-made silver snake coins and more than 300 copper coins. The currencies issued by the Seven Seas Federation are worth copper coins, silver snake coins, and gold dragon coins from low to high. The conversion between the two basically fluctuates around 1:100. Actually, there are still a lot of copper coins scattered in the sunken ship. ??However, Xia En saw that many copper coins had shown signs of rust and would depreciate to a certain extent. Coupled with the time limit, he did not regard them as the main target. In addition to coins, there are also 9 weapons that are not completely rusted. 13 miscellaneous accessories. When counting these sundries, Xia En felt as if he had become a judge on a treasure appraisal show, or like an old farmer weighing rice, and his heart was filled with the joy of a good harvest. Calculate it all together. ??The income from this submarine trip alone is at least 70 silver snake coins, which can directly pay off one-fifth of the debt. ??If you work on the island, I''m afraid you won''t be able to earn so much in a year. Of course, except for some businesses that make money very quickly. "I just fished out a sunken ship, and I can get this kind of harvest." There are indeed countless secret treasures hidden under the sea! Xia En licked his lips excitedly, feeling that this day was getting more and more promising. At this rate, paying off the debt will be just around the corner! ?Then, Shane set his sights on the peculiar black box again. Instinct told him that there was something good in it. ?Shaan picked up the old key found in the shipwreck cabinet and inserted it into the keyhole. Click! ?With a crisp sound, the black box slowly opened. There was a statue that was completely black. ?This statue is obviously carved of a woman, but the face is not carved with any details, only a blank space, which is both mysterious and weird. For some reason, the statue still has many fine cracks all over its body. (End of this chapter) Chapter 11 Ember Treasure Chapter 11 Treasure of Embers ?Xia En originally thought this thing was a bit evil, but after seeing the prompts on the panel, he breathed a sigh of relief. Statue of the Storm Goddess (broken) Quality: inferior Type: Statue [Description: The Storm Goddess holds the authority of the sea and protects the people on the sea. This statue tried hard to save the ship, but she failed. Place it on the ship to increase the "mysterious" attribute! May the storm bless you. Storm Goddess? Of course Xia En has heard of this goddess. In this era, the sea surrounds the entire human civilization, and the power of the Storm Goddess has been enhanced as never before. The Deep Sea Church that believes in Him is one of the most powerful churches in the Seven Seas Federation. Even in a borderland like Duke Island, there are many believers of the Storm Goddess. What concerns Xia En more than the name is another sentence in the description. Improve the mysterious attributes Xia En was thoughtful. This is a world where extraordinary power exists, and many things have mysterious qualities. Strictly speaking, the so-called "ship soul" is a mysterious thing. ??With the increase in mysterious attributes, Black Swan may have some incredible abilities. It wont be covered with strange tentacles, or turn into a ghost ship that emits will-o-the-wisps, right? ?Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En took out the statue and placed it on the table in his captain''s cabin. Black Swan "Mysterious" +1! At this moment, Xia En vaguely felt that there was a hazy veil covering the appearance of the entire ship. also seems to have some kind of sheltering effect. ??While the mysterious attribute increases, [Captains Majesty] also feeds it back into Xia Ens body. ?However, unlike the feeling when the [Solidity] attribute is improved, the changes it brings to the body are not obvious, just a sense of coolness flowing through the mind. Xia En touched his chin curiously: "Speaking of which, what attribute of mine does [Mystery] correspond to?" He couldn''t think of an answer yet, so he didn''t care. He turned to look at the opened black box. Just now, Xia En noticed that there were two books pressed under the statue. One is the "Storm Bible". This is a must-read classic for followers of the Storm Goddess. ?Xia En only glanced at it and ignored it. The other one is a logbook. Although there is a saying, "Who can keep a diary?", at sea, the logbook is still very important. Especially in some strange sea areas, the logbook is the key to preventing the ship from getting "lost". Since there was nothing to do now, Xia En opened the diary out of curiosity. Most of the previous contents are normal and are things that ordinary ships will experience at sea. Starting from a certain page, the contents recorded in the log gradually become weird. April 3 in the federal calendar. We came to the sea area where Coral City is located. According to the treasure map, the legendary Ember Treasure is somewhere in Coral City. However, the authenticity of the treasure map has not yet been determined, and it is impossible for me to bet all my wealth on this treasure. But with Anil and Andre from the Shark tribe as salvagers, there should be some unexpected gains. Goddess above, may the storm protect us. April 5 in the federal calendar Today is the day of diving and salvage for the first time. The two sharks seemed very excited. Perhaps, they preferred to stay in the sea water than life on the boat. According to Anil, they found an ancient dark door at the location marked on the treasure map. Could it be said that there is a treasure of embers behind the door? April 8 in the Federal Calendar Today, only Anil is back. Moreover, his expression was extremely frightened, as if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene at the bottom of the sea, and he kept urging me to leave the sea area. But that is a treasure of embers! Do I want to give up this hard-won opportunity? April 9 in the Federal Calendar I gave up. ]?????Although treasures are good, they must be taken with a life. As a little captain like me, I''d better not try to get my hands on treasures that don''t belong to me. The area behind the door, please explore it later. Anil was relieved after knowing my decision. However, I don''t know if it was my misunderstanding. Anil''s appearance seemed a little strange. He began to hide in a corner and talk to himself, whispering to the sea with an intoxicated expression. It was a language I had never heard before, like an ancient ballad. But when I asked him about it, he said he had never sung. At this point in the log, a gap suddenly appeared. ?Several pages seemed to be torn out, and the recorded content became somewhat fragmented. The third deceased appeared on a rainy night. Like the previous dead, their heads were missing, leaving only headless corpses that had been eaten away. [The crew began to doubt each other, and Anil was the biggest suspect. He became more and more taciturn, and his eyes became colder and colder. Sometimes I suspected that he was no longer Anil, but some evil person. The incarnation of a different being. What should I do? Goddess, please guide me in the way forward. I executed Anil. He is the murderer and the source of the curse! When I chopped off his head, I felt a joy that I had never felt before. Everything is over, we can return safely. No, its not over! The storm is coming! The headless dead appear again! the fourth! the fifth! I gathered all the crew members in the captain''s cabin, I want to find out the real murderer! Any sailor heard me singing? How can it be? He must be crazy! Why do they all look at me with fear in their eyes? They are crazy! All crazy! Another weird gap. ?Shaan turned to the last few pages before he saw several lines of crooked text. Curse, this is the curse of the Ember Treasure! From the moment we opened that door, the outcome was already determined. We will all die! diediediediediediediediediedie! ?In the end, all that was left in the voyage diary was a page full of the word "death" written in blood and messy graffiti. It can be seen that when writing these words, the captain''s mind had completely collapsed. ??A chill spread across Xia En''s back. The information recorded in this diary vaguely revealed to him the tragedy that occurred on the sunken ship. ??It also made him understand the cause of the many headless corpses in the captain''s cabin. But the deceased have passed away, and it is difficult for Xia En to be deeply touched by the deaths of these people he has never met. In contrast, he was more concerned about what was mentioned in the logbook... ?Ember treasure! As we all know, there are countless treasures buried under the sea, and ember treasures belong to a rather special category among them. Legends say that in the last era, there was a king named "King Xin" who buried his secret treasures in the corners of various cities in order to preserve the fire of civilization. ?Those secret treasures are not gold and silver jewelry, but the crystallization of the highest technology and secret methods of that era. ??There are even extinct species, lost magic books, and historical records of ancient civilizations. It can be said that every discovery of ember treasures is enough to advance the science and technology of the Seven Seas Federation for decades. A glimmer of light left behind by a civilization that was completely submerged. Hence, it is called "ember". Such a treasure naturally has a huge temptation for Xia En. He rummaged briefly and quickly found a yellowed treasure map in the pages of the "Storm Bible". (End of this chapter) Chapter 12 [Unknown Swordsmanship] (Please recommend! Please collect!) Chapter 12 [Unknown Swordsmanship] (Please recommend! Please collect!) Open the treasure map and take a look. Xia En frowned immediately. ?This treasure map is obviously very old. The lines are sloppy and rough, and only the shapes of a few landmarks can be barely discerned. It seems that we have to buy a map of Coral City for comparison to determine the specific location. Although he got the treasure map, Xia En was not in a hurry, let alone rushed to the Coral City. ??The tragedy of this shipwreck was still **** before his eyes. Could it be said that this is also a curse? Putting away the panel, Xia En walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. ??If described by attributes, the speed of the [Blood Wolf] is at least 6, which is far better than the 3-point speed of the Black Swan. At this time, Joey had already climbed up to the observation deck on the mast and reminded anxiously. ?Xia En was also awestruck. ?At the same time, the ship spirit level and ship attributes have also been slightly improved, and a new skill has been acquired. ?Even though his overly handsome appearance still destroyed his majestic temperament as a captain, at least he no longer looked like a weak pretty boy. The information recorded in the logbook was limited after all. Xia En just thought about it casually and put these distracting thoughts behind him. ?Shaan took out his telescope and looked southeast. No, thats the pirate ship [Blood Wolf]! Over the past few days, his skin color has turned into a healthy wheat color, and his body has become stronger and more muscular. There is no doubt that this is a very difficult enemy! ?Even though its name is simple and unpretentious, Xia En discovered that this is a real killing technique, and everything is practical. Ship: Black Swan Even if the projected body is cursed, it may still cause harm to Xia En''s body. ??This is the alarm bell on the ship. He had instructed Joey to ring the alarm only when other ships were spotted on the sea. During the sparring session, Shane was surprised to find that Joey''s strength was somewhat beyond his expectation. ?At this distance, Shane could already see clearly what was happening on the deck of the [Blood Wolf] with his telescope. Its so boring to be on this ship without mobile phones or computers! Besides fishing, Xia En always has to find something to do for himself. Joy, are you practicing your sword skills? Even though the Black Swan was already moving forward at full speed, the distance between the two ships was still shortening little by little. He turned his head and smiled evilly. ?Stepping out of the cabin, Shane glanced around and saw Joey on the deck. As soon as he saw Xia En, Joey immediately put away his dagger and nodded honestly: "I learned a few moves from an old gentleman on the island, so I know a little bit about swordsmanship." The tallest man among them seemed to have noticed Xia En''s gaze. After the submersible, you can either fish, take care of the boat, or find Joy for training and engage in sword fighting with her. on the other hand. Raise anchor, hoist sail, and move forward at full speed! The total income is about 150 Silver Snake Coins. When submersing, search for loot and occasionally hunt alien sea beasts in the sea to fill the food gap on the ship. ?On the sparkling sea, a ketch was speeding towards the [Black Swan]. ?At this time, Joey was holding a short sword, moving his feet, slashing and piercing the air back and forth. Mast, cables, sails, rudders... every joint performs its own duties, quickly allowing the Black Swan to soar from a standstill to its ultimate speed. Xia En''s complexion suddenly changed slightly. Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin); Succubus (extremely thin) Looking at his current panel, Xia En nodded with satisfaction. ? Its captain "Blood Wolf Hansen" is said to be a first-level secret traveler. There is a reward of 200 silver snake coins on the Seven Seas Federation''s wanted list. He was planning to explore the sunken ship one last time, squeeze out its remaining value, and leave the sea. Practice sword skills, which is undoubtedly a good way to pass the time. Xia En''s heart moved slightly: "Oh, this little girl..." Then, he made a gesture of cutting his throat! Is it really the so-called "curse" that caused the entire ship to be annihilated? ??The Blood Wolf Pirate Group has a small number of people. It is only a small pirate group, but its actions are extremely ruthless. ?However, Xia En was a little curious ?Shaan no longer hesitated, walked quickly to the rudder, and held the solid steering wheel tightly. As for [Fishing] that has been upgraded by one level, it seems to be of little use. Attributes: Firepower 2, Speed ??3, Solidity 4, Mystery 1 He still could only catch some random things. ?Shaan sighed. Name: Xia En ?Each sword can make a "quick" sound of breaking through the air, and there is a faint flash of sword light, which is very powerful. How come you know a little bit about everything? Xia Ens mouth twitched and he said, It just so happens that I also want to learn swordsmanship. Can you teach me? ?Think about it, Joey has been able to survive alone on Duke Island for so long, how come he doesnt have a means or two to protect himself? But for Shane, this is a good thing. [Skills: Nameless Swordsmanship (mastered), Navigation (beginner), Astrology (beginner), Fishing (mastered), Deck Combat (beginner)] "Not bad, good, change... is a good thing." Suddenly, a rapid sound of bells sounded from the bow of the ship. ?This look surprised him. Without hesitation, Xia En quickly rushed out of the room and came to the deck in three steps and two steps at a time. ??Which boss would dislike his employees who are too capable? After thinking for a while, Xia En took the initiative to step forward and asked. The bow of the ship broke through the wind and waves, roaring in a direction away from the "Blood Wolf". ??As Shane gave the order, the entire Black Swan carried out his will. Secret Career: None ?However, Xia En soon discovered. ??The pirates all wore scarlet turbans and had a very fierce temperament. They seemed to be spitting out some obscene words, and their faces were full of violent excitement. After several sweeps, most of the valuable things in the sunken ship were swept away by Sean. This "Mastery" level [Unnamed Swordsmanship] is his greatest achievement in the past few days. The next few days. ?The ships that were plundered rarely left any survivors alive, and those who were lucky enough to survive often suffered horrific torture. The Blood Wolf is a famous pirate ship near Duke Island. His strength is astonishing and his physical fitness is very good. ?To explore this level of treasure, Xia En undoubtedly needs to make more preparations. ?Joys voice took on a frightened vibrato. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (10%) Looking at the current direction of the "Blood Wolf", Xia En has reason to believe that it has regarded the "Black Swan" as its prey! ?Perhaps this is also the influence of the Siren bloodline. Talent: Deep Sea Sneaking; Captain''s Majesty; Seawater Control Age: 18 years old In this world, many curses even directly affect the soul. Well, being too handsome is also a worry. ?Although his physical fitness has been strengthened, his actual combat experience is basically zero. In order to enhance his self-protection ability, it is obviously not enough to have a [Deck Combat Technique (Introduction)]. Mr. Captain, southeast! Shanes life was extremely fulfilling. This is a gap in ship performance that is difficult to make up. And on the sail of the ship, a scarlet wolf head was clearly drawn! After hearing Xia Ens request, Joey happily responded: Of course, Im happy to help you! Thats saying You guys, theres no way to escape! (End of this chapter) Chapter 13 a ghost Chapter 13 A Ghost On the deck. ?Xia En looked a little solemn. According to this trend, it is only a matter of time before the Black Swan is overtaken by the Blood Wolf. ?Although the Black Swan is equipped with artillery, its range, accuracy, and ammunition reserves can only be described as worrying. In fact, for most of the ships around Duke Island, long-range bombardment is not the main means of determining victory when fighting at sea. Often after close range artillery fire, the battle will quickly evolve into a boarding battle. ?Due to the unknown strength of the enemy and the overwhelming number of people, Xia En instinctively did not want to enter the most dangerous boarding battle. But now, this situation... seems inevitable? Hmm? Wait... ?Xia En suddenly felt blessed and thought of something that he had ignored. The projected body cannot leave the sea while submersing, but it can fight under the sea! This is the way to break the situation! ?Thinking of this, Xia En turned around and ordered: "Joy, I''ll control the artillery, and you''ll be at the helm!" Remember, no matter what happens, dont panic! Hearing this, Joey was stunned for a moment, as if a heavy burden was weighing on him. But at the same time, she also felt Xia En''s trust, and her expression immediately became serious. Mr. Captain, leave it to me! The artillery on the Black Swan is mounted on the side and requires entering the lower level of the ship to load and fire. Xia Ens real purpose is naturally not to rely on this weak artillery to sink the Blood Wolf, but to facilitate his [deep sea diving]! ?Walking to the cabin, Xia En had an idea. Start diving! The next moment, the projected body is generated, and his consciousness descends into the sea water. Xia En raised his head and looked at the bottom of the [Blood Wolf] ship in the distance, with a sneer on his lips. At this moment, the identities of prey and hunter are about to be reversed! Blood Wolf, on the deck. ?Blood Wolf Hansen is standing among the pirates. He is nearly two meters tall, with a slightly hunched back, a white beard, and the scars on his bare arms, which are his medals of honor. The whole person looks thin and strong, like a vicious and dangerous old wolf. ?Hansen looked at the ships in the distance and asked the pirates around him: "Does anyone recognize that ship?" The first mate Walter on the Blood Wolf thought for a while and replied: "It should be the Black Swan?" "I once met the old captain of the Black Swan. He is quite a character. People at sea are willing to give him a little favor." "However, the old captain is dead, and the current captain should be his son who has not yet grown hair." A flash of greed flashed in Hansen''s eyes, and he said clearly: "No wonder there are not many sailors on the ship." It seems that they have all run away a long time ago! In this case, I will accept this ship and the property on it! In this sea, the law of the jungle is the only law. For pirates, it is normal for a chance encounter to turn into robbery. ??If the captain of the Black Swan is a powerful character and has many capable men, Hansen might even weigh the pros and cons. ?But now, with the helpless fat right in front of him, how could he not eat it? Boom! Suddenly, a roar of artillery sounded. A splash of water exploded on the sea dozens of meters away from the Blood Wolf, but it did not cause any damage to the Blood Wolf. Oh? You still dare to fire? ?Seeing this, Hansen, instead of panicking, showed a cruel and disdainful sneer. Just right, its more pleasurable to kill prey that can struggle. People who work as pirates at sea tend to have somewhat morbid personalities. At this moment, the Black Swan''s weak counterattack only aroused the ferocity of the pirates. ??The more it resisted, the more excited the pirates on the Blood Wolf became. Go at full speed and kill them all! ?Hansen pulled out the scimitar from his waist, pointed it directly at the Black Swan ahead, and shouted loudly. "Kill! Kill! Kill!" "kill!!" ??The pirates wearing blood-colored turbans looked ferocious and screamed strangely, like hungry wolves smelling the smell of blood. ! ??Just when the shouts of killing were loud on the deck, some strange sounds came from the bottom of the ship. ?But at this time, no one cared about the muffled sound. ??The pirates just thought it was another failed bombardment by the Black Swan, and they laughed even more crazily. ! Boom! Boom! ??The weird muffled sound continued, one after another, like a heavy drum beat. Blood Wolf Hansen was the first to feel that something was wrong and frowned: "What is this sound?" First mate Walter hesitated and said: "It seems...isn''t it the roar of artillery?" Captain, its bad! ??A pirate rushed onto the deck in panic and shouted in horror: "The cabin is flooded!" "What!?" Hansen''s expression suddenly changed and he grabbed the pirate by the collar: "Tell me, what''s going on?" Well, it seems like something...pierced the bottom of the boat! Bottom of the boat? Could it be?! ?Hansen glanced at the Black Swan not far away, and for the first time a look of uncertainty appeared on his face. After all, he had been at sea for many years, so he quickly calmed down, made a decision, and gave the order. Walter, take some good watermen and go see whats under the boat! Others, continue to stay at their positions and chase the Black Swan at full speed! ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With a splash of water, Walter and several pirates sank into the sea. ?Hansen sent Walter to carry out this task, not without purpose. ??This first mate has a quarter of the blood of the sea clan, and his combat power in the sea is even better than that of Hansen himself. ?Walter opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings vigilantly. Soon, he saw a shockingly large hole on the side of the bottom of the boat, as if it had been violently punched through by some kind of blunt instrument. Seawater is rapidly penetrating into the hull. Damn it! What the **** is this made of? ?Walter was annoyed when he suddenly heard a vague and short cry from beside him. Turn around and look. I saw a sailor who went into the sea with him, holding his throat helplessly, his eyes gradually became blurred, and soon he stopped moving. The blood quickly dyed the sea water red, and the smell of blood spread. ??The most bizarre thing is that the sailor''s body showed signs of decay, with spots appearing on the body, as if he had not just been killed, but had died in the seawater long ago. "how come" Walters heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned his head and looked around, but the attacker was nowhere to be seen. Woo! A similar scream again. ?This time the victim was disemboweled and his intestines were pulled out. ?He struggled hard to surface, but his body shriveled up suddenly and withered like a mummy. ?Such a strange way of death shocked Walter. And the question is, where is the enemy? Why didnt he even see the enemys shadow? Suddenly, sensing the flow of sea water, Walter turned his head and finally saw a strange afterimage. ?The figure barely had a human form, but its facial features and any human features were invisible, and its body was as black as ink. ?His arms mutated into a giant iron hook and a dark dagger. Apparently, they were the ones who hunted down the pirate just now. The whole existence seems illusory, vague and chaotic. Full of inhuman horror. It''s like... it''s a phantom that shouldn''t exist in reality, or a ghost wandering in the boundless ocean! (End of this chapter) Chapter 14 The hunt begins! Chapter 14 The hunt begins! Fuck, what the **** is this? ?Walter cursed in his heart, his face was extremely ugly, and his body was trembling slightly because of fear. He was not even sure whether the existence in front of him was alive. Walter knew that in addition to the inexhaustible treasures in the ocean, there were also countless unspeakable horrors. ?Any sailor who has encountered those things will either sleep forever on the bottom of the sea, or become a crazy lunatic, murmuring words that others cannot understand all day long. From Walters perspective, this strange black shadow undoubtedly belongs to the category of that kind of existence. At the same time, the black shadow did not stop his movements. In fact, although the Blood Wolf Pirate Group is not large in number, they are all brave and good at fighting. They can exert considerable fighting power on the deck and on the shore. This small boat is very fast and moves stealthily. ?He made a prompt decision and used all his strength, hands and feet, to swim upstream quickly. When normal people move in sea water, their movements will become obviously slow and blocked. At this time, his only chance of survival is to steal the Black Swan! ?However, in this sea where there is no place to stand, even if they have any ability, they cannot show it. The blood of the sea family did play a big role at this time. Walter''s escape speed by swimming was much faster than that of other pirates. Walters hair stood on end, and he had no fighting spirit in his heart. The Blood Wolf is sinking irrevocably into the sea! Compared to monsters, Hansen is more inclined to believe that this is the action of the Mystic. Save This means Damn, what is Walter doing? Captain! The water in the cabin is getting worse and worse, and it cant be stopped anymore! Even a person like Walter who has the blood of the Sea Clan will inevitably be affected. The eyes of the remaining pirates were full of fear, and they felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair. ??When Xia En found it, it had already traveled hundreds of meters. Holding a black stone dagger, Xia En quietly swam under a pirate and pierced his chest with the sword. Let him slaughter you! At this moment, Walter suddenly discovered that the black shadow turned his head, and the invisible but cold gaze seemed to fall on him! "not good!" On a pirate ship, even more so. Cant win! Captain Hansen! ?Walter opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything to dissuade him. On the other hand, Xia En can not only move freely, but also has the attribute bonus of the Black Swan, so the battle situation naturally evolved into a one-sided hunt. Hansen gave the order without hesitation: "You guys, put down the auxiliary boat and stop the Black Swan with me!" It turned out to be an attack in the east and west, using these pirates to distract me and make it easier for me to move. ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????Wow! In the sea water, Xia En raised his head and saw the pirate jumping into the sea like a dumpling, and he was immediately happy. ??The pirate''s body stiffened suddenly and he shouted in horror. Like the previous two deceased, he did not even notice the existence of the shadow, and death had already arrived. ?Only by snatching away the Black Swan can the pirates have a chance of survival. ?He never imagined that such an ordinary "hunting" would actually cause him to lose the most important [Blood Wolf]. Let us hunt those who have fallen into the sea! Since you regard him as prey, you must be prepared to be killed by him! ?For this, no matter how much sacrifice you make, it is worth it. "Or is this pirate too timid? He doesn''t even dare to fight me?" ?Hansen frowned, instinctively suspicious. What a fast pace! There are really scary monsters in the sea! ?Seeing this, the nearby pirates couldn''t help but change their expressions. ?Of course he knows that there are many terrifying sea monsters in the sea, but their residences are often in the deep sea where even light cannot reach them. At this time, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and the sweaty pirate came to the deck, bringing another bad news. Immediately afterwards, some bubbles surfaced, and the blood spread. Walter''s face turned pale, and he said in shock: "Monster! There is a monster under the sea!" His lips curved into a sneer, looking at the pirates who knew nothing about the threat of death. ?Xia Ens primary purpose at this time is not to kill people, but to sink the [Blood Wolf]! When the whole ship sinks into the sea, these pirates will undoubtedly become fish on the chopping board... ??This captain of the [Blood Wolf] is also a ruthless person. The pirates who were ordered to jump into the sea were actually all bait to protect this small ship. The dagger in his left hand lightly passed through the throat of a pirate. Before he finished speaking, he saw a head emerging from the sea. It was his first mate Walter. The brothers were all killed by that guy, and the ship was also pierced by it! In fact, without his reminding, the pirates could feel that the height of the deck from the sea was constantly shortening. ?Hansen knew that he had no way out. The rest of the people, all jump into the sea, even those who swim must catch up with it! simultaneously! Scarlet blood spreads in the sea water. In the sea water dyed red with blood, a strange black shadow can be seen vaguely. Are you so active in sending someone to death one by one? ?Looking at his hastily escaping back, Xia En had a strange expression and muttered in his heart. Seeing this scene, Walter''s body trembled even more violently. After quickly clearing the obstacles, Shane raised the heavy iron hook and hammered the undefended bottom of the Blood Wolf again and again. There are no islands within dozens of nautical miles nearby. Once the ship sinks, even the best sailors may not be able to set foot on land again. Seeing this scene, Hansen looked ferocious and gritted his teeth. How could it be so fast? Am I that scary? But obviously, Xia En will not just watch Blood Wolf Hansen''s plan succeed. In less than half a minute, several more pirates were buried in the sea. Why did he appear so coincidentally offshore and under their boat? His figure moved as quickly as a swimming fish, as if he had not encountered any resistance from the sea water. The captain''s order cannot be questioned. ??Definitely can''t win! Facing such a monster hiding in the sea, they could not think of a way to win. ?But his scream only lasted for a moment before his body suddenly sank and was dragged under the sea. Under the ripples of the water, the dark thing seemed to be constantly changing and twisting, growing and wriggling like a living thing. Xia En understood immediately. ?However, the black shadow seemed to violate this law of physics and was incredibly fast. ?Oddly enough, Xia En did not waste too much time on this man, but turned around and continued to deal with the remaining pirates. ! Boom! Boom! On the deck, Hansen felt the vibration coming from below the hull, and the veins on Hansen''s forehead jumped. Whats even more desperate is that they have nowhere to escape in this sea! ?But at this moment, Xia En''s eyes temporarily moved away from the pirates and fell on a fast-moving boat next to them. "monster?" He raised his head and looked at the shadow cast by the boat in the water, with a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Hmph, want to escape? (End of this chapter) Chapter 15 He is coming! (Please recommend! Please collect!) Chapter 15 He is coming! (Please recommend! Please collect!) On the sparkling sea. Several pirates exerted their strength and waved their oars to drive the boat forward. ?Although this power source is primitive, it is more reliable. For such a small wooden boat, it can achieve faster speed. The screams of the other pirates behind them stimulated them to row faster. ?Some pirates saw a strange shadow in the sea and couldn''t help but ask: "First mate, what is that shadow...?" "I have no idea" ??Walter still had panic on his face and murmured: "But at least I can be sure that it is definitely not a living human being!" "Shut up!" ?Blood Wolf Hansen''s fierce eyes swept over the pirates, making them stay silent and not dare to say another word. After suppressing everyone, Hansen looked at the silhouette of the ship not far ahead. After the hot pursuit just now, the distance between the Blood Wolf and the Black Swan has been shortened a lot. ??But when he saw the scene on the deck, Hansen felt something strange for no reason. ?It was a bit too empty on that ship. There was almost no sailor in sight, only a short figure in front of the rudder. How could one man propel such a large ketch forward? Or is it that the others have jumped ship and escaped? ?Hansen shook his head, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart. ?No matter what, give him a few more minutes and he will be able to catch up with the Black Swan! As long as he has a ship, he still has the capital to make a comeback! As long as we can get to that ship... Click! The crisp sound of broken boards interrupted Hansen''s thoughts. ? He ??looked down and saw that a dark and thick iron hook had pierced the fragile bottom of the boat, revealing a rusty sharp hook. Under the sea, a strange black shadow looms, like the visiting **** of death. Walter looked desperate and hissed: "He''s coming! He''s catching up!" We cant escape we cant escape The previous encounter in the sea undoubtedly left a deep psychological shadow on Walter, so much so that he could no longer generate the slightest will to fight, and his spirit was already teetering on the edge of collapse. Shut up, I! ?Hansen slapped Walter on the face, causing his cheeks to swell up and one of his teeth to be knocked out. Facing the mysterious and unknown enemy, Hansen was of course a little panicked. But based on his experience at sea, the more times like this, the less he can panic. A sharp look flashed in Hansen''s eyes. He took out a dark bead from his arms, then held Walter''s chin and stuffed the black bead directly into his mouth. ??This is a secret medicine that Hansen got by chance. After swallowing it, he can get a huge increase in strength, and even allow ordinary people to reach the level of a first-order secret practitioner. But the price is also extremely tragic. Captain! You... ?Walters eyes widened, his expression becoming more and more frightened. Whatever it is, stop it! ?Hansen gave the final order coldly, and then kicked Walter into the sea. Noahem! ?Walter choked several times on the sea water and struggled to swim back to the boat. But the next moment, a sudden change occurred! Walter''s skin suddenly turned red, like a red-hot prawn, and fine blood streaks seeped from the skin into the sea water. Soon, smooth scales broke out of the skin, and organs like fish gills appeared on his cheeks. ?At the same time, the bones in his body creaked and his whole body expanded. Walter''s eyes were blood red, and his mouth roared like a sea beast. Under the influence of the secret medicine, he has completely lost his mind, leaving only a violent desire for destruction. "Um?" Under the boat, Xia En also noticed this strange man who fell into the water. Before he could think more, the other party turned into a shadow and rushed towards him. At this time, Walters scales had covered his body, and the features of the sea tribe became more and more obvious. ?It seems that it has undergone some kind of atavistic transformation, with various attributes skyrocketing, and it has the ability to move freely in sea water. Those red eyes locked on Xia En who was closest to it, like a powerful shark. ??Xia En was startled, but without hesitation, he pulled out the iron hook at the bottom of the boat, lifted it up, and swept it forward. boom! ?There was a muffled sound, and the undercurrent surged, and the two bodies moved backwards. Ship Soul Power -3! ?Shaan licked his lips. ?The opponent''s strength is not weak, but it is still within the range that can be dealt with. He knew that he was already entangled with this monster. ???If you want to prevent that small boat from approaching the [Black Swan], you have to kill it first! ?Thinking of this, Xia En burst out with astonishing speed, like a ghost, and took the initiative to launch a surprise attack. The boat is going away. Looking at the two entangled black figures in the sea, Blood Wolf Hansen breathed a sigh of relief. Hansen himself didn''t care about Walter''s life or death, but as long as he could delay some time for himself, it would be a worthy death. But soon, a scarlet color spread in the sea water behind him. ?Hansen was a little surprised. ?Whose blood is this? Has the winner already been decided? Before he could think any further, a scaly corpse had already surfaced. That face that was atavistic and alienated still had some vague fear and pain remaining. Walter is dead? Why is it so fast? ?Hansen''s heart seemed to skip a beat. It wasn''t that he didn''t think that Walter would die, but he didn''t expect that Walter would die so quickly! ?That is close to the strength of a first-order secret path user! How strong are the monsters in the sea? ! ?The ominous muffled sound like the tolling of a funeral bell came from under the boat again. ?The hair on the hair of the pirates stood on end, and huge fear was like a big hand grasping their hearts. I dont want to die, I dont want to die! ?Some people jumped into the sea in a panic and fled away from the boat. This time, the strange shadow did not drag it into the sea, but focused on hammering at the bottom of the ship. ! Boom! Boom! ?The cracks in the planks below are increasing, and seawater is gradually seeping into the hull. ??The remaining pirates could no longer bear the horror of approaching death, and jumped ship one by one to escape. ?Blood Wolf Hansen was heartbroken, put a secret medicine into his mouth, jumped into the sea desperately, and then swam to the Black Swan not far away. After taking the secret medicine, his senses became numb. The sound of waves crashing, the pirates'' wails, the biting coldness, the pain of sharp knives slicing through the body in the sea... all seemed to be out of reach. What supports Hansen to continue swimming forward is just an obsession. As long as we can get to that place ?I dont know how much time passed, but Hansens consciousness gradually became clear. He was surprised to find that he had arrived at the side of the Black Swan''s ship and placed his hands on the solid wooden boards. I... survived? Hansen felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart. Its a miracle that he survived this situation! He climbed onto the deck with difficulty, but when he raised his head, he saw a young and handsome face. ?That face is too young, too young to look like a captain, but more like a traveling aristocratic son. ?However, in the opponent''s hand, there was a dark and heavy iron hook. In an instant, Blood Wolf Hansen thought about many things and couldn''t help but feel horrified. How is that possible? You, you But at this time, Xia En had already raised the iron hook high, with only cold murderous intent on his face. Under the **** sunset, his shadow was dragged very long. "No" ?Hansen''s eyes widened, his throat tightened, and fear kept pouring into his heart: "Don''t kill me! I am Nuo..." simultaneously! ?Blood spattered and shadows flooded his body like a tide. (End of this chapter) Chapter 16 Murder and Arson Gold Belt Chapter 16 The Golden Belt of Murder and Arson Phewits finally over. On the deck, looking at the fallen corpse in front of him, Xia En took a long breath, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. A little feeling of fatigue came over me. ? It turns out that the projection body is more useful than he expected. Mechanics plus numerical values ??create pure power. ?The battle in the sea was almost always a one-sided situation. Only when facing the mutated first mate did they encounter some resistance. ?Although the mutant''s physical quality is strong, his intelligence is really worrying, and his vital parts are almost unprotected. Obviously, it has something to do with this badge. ?Joy was startled for a moment, then a look of realization flashed in his eyes, and he nodded heavily. ?Xia En said lightly, but did not answer Joey''s question, which seemed a bit unfathomable. Its pretty good to have this cash left. Xia En touched his chin and quickly thought with relief: "Forget it, no matter what he wants to say, I can''t let him go anyway!" ?It is very similar to some strange legends spread on the sea. Rather than leaving hidden dangers on the ship, it is better to kill them all and save some food and fresh water. Any gift from fate has already been marked with a price tag on its back. Rare quality, not bad! ?From Joeys perspective, everything that just happened can only be described as unbelievable. When firing, there is a low probability of causing those with lower willpower to fall into a state of "shock" or "illusion". Description: A cheap gift from the Scarlet Lord, which can give the wearer the aura of a first-level mystic, and can exert pressure on creatures with lower life levels. ?Xia En spent about 30 points of ship soul power to exchange "wounds" for lives and quickly killed him. Even the auxiliary boat that was put down did not escape the fate of sinking and was buried in the sea forever. ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. The sinking of the [Blood Wolf] will undoubtedly allow him to make another windfall! Mr. Captain ??The main body of this flintlock gun is black, and the body and barrel are engraved with purple lines, giving it a somewhat mysterious color. This is probably the so-called "magic pattern craftsmanship." ?Of course, Xia En did not waste the weapons on them. At this time, there are still some pirates struggling to survive on the sea. ?This thing is of little use, but since it is a relic, Xia En still puts it in his pocket. ?In addition, there are a lot of various equipment, accessories, and jewelry, and most of them are not rusty yet and can be used as long as they are wiped dry with sea water. Its a pity that after that, Xia En didnt find anything good. Looking at the piles of trophies on the deck, Master Xia, who had been busy all day, smiled broadly. Quality: inferior Okay, Captain, I understand. After touching the corpse, Xia En chopped off the head of Blood Wolf Hansen with a knife, prepared it and then simply embalmed it and then put it back up. Xia En smiled expectantly. The golden belt that kills people and sets them on fire is indeed true! Three days flew by. Actually, he hasnt figured out how to explain it yet. Valuable property is usually placed on the ship. With the experience of salvaging a ship, his efficiency has improved a lot. Dont worry, nothing will happen. ??Shane simply slowed down the speed of the Black Swan and allowed Hansen to climb onto the deck, saving him the time of retrieving the body. Type: Relic ?This gun can enhance Xia En''s self-protection ability on the shore and on the ship, so there is no reason not to accept it. ?However, it was precisely because the power of the ship soul was exhausted that he failed to kill Blood Wolf Hansen in the sea. The real big head is none other than the [Blood Wolf] that just sank under the sea! Isnt there another sunken ship that can be salvaged? At this moment, Joey next to him walked over, his tone full of confusion: "What on earth happened?" Have the breath of a first-level secret path user? Collect them all and you can sell them at a good price. Looking at the pirates struggling in the nearby water, Joey felt a little anxious. Hyper-blood wolf Hansen is rumored to be a first-level Mystic Pathfinder, but he has not shown the strength to match it. ??As for these pirates who lick blood from their swords, not only are they naturally rebellious, they are at least at the level of domestic slaves with three surnames. But on second thought, pirates have never had the concept of saving money. They believe in the life creed of enjoying themselves in time and spending money when they have it. Normally speaking, capturing and recruiting pirates is an option. Relics? Type: Weapon Xia En''s heart moved slightly. ?Shaan quickly found a small badge pinned to his collar. It was red and white and had an unclear human face etched on it. There are 53 silver snake coins and more than 500 copper coins. Scarlet Coat of Arms The previous sunken ship gave him about 150 silver snake coins in profit. Counting the head of Blood Wolf Hansen, he was able to pay off the huge sum he owed. What do you understand? Xia En was in a weird mood, but he still maintained his composure and said, "Now, it''s time to clean up the battlefield!" To be honest, it was much less than he expected. ?However, because there are too many sundries, the exact value of silver snake coins will only be known after selling them on the island. Its good to see but useless! Xia En understood clearly: "No wonder this blood wolf Hansen feels weaker than his first mate, so that''s what happened." ??High durability, not easily damaged, can still be used after being wiped dry after being exposed to water. ??But Xia En knew that these were just bits and pieces. ?Think about it, pirates will never carry all their wealth with them during battle. ?The Blood Wolf that was chasing them sank into the sea inexplicably. Many pirates jumped into the sea one after another, seeming to be shouting words like "monster" and "help". ?) But with the original owners lessons learned, Shanes only requirement for the crew is to be reliable! A crew member who will not betray is a good crew member. After seeing this line of description clearly, the corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. The joint author is the silver candle and pewter spear head? Those with extremely powerful and strange effects are called "forbidden relics." In just three days, Shane licked the ship clean. Xia En is a kind-hearted person and cannot see them suffering. Its time to lick the bag! He rubbed his hands excitedly and started groping for Hansen''s body. Description: Blood Wolf Hansen found a custom-made pistol with simple magic pattern craftsmanship. The caliber and recoil are improved compared to ordinary flintlock guns. After controlling the Black Swan to approach, he sent the pirates back to the west one by one. You must know that Blood Wolf Hansen is on the wanted list. ?She originally thought so, but after seeing Xia En''s calm expression, she quickly realized something. The money earned is usually sent to the casino before it is warmed up, or spent on the bellies of call girls. Then, Xia En took out a flintlock gun from the waist of the corpse.Blood Wolf Hansen''s Flintlock Quality: Rare In addition, the [Blood Wolf] has just sunk, and the internal environment is not that complicated. Is there really a monster on this seabed? ?In this world, relics often refer to mysterious objects left over from the previous era, most of which possess strange and extraordinary powers. ?His head alone is worth 200 silver snake coins! Speaking of which, did he want to say something in the end? What surprised Xia En the most was not these, but the three artillery pieces placed on the deck at this time, and... An ancient machine with a strange shape. (End of this chapter) Chapter 17 Steam technology, boy! Chapter 17 Steam Technology, Boy! Sturdy single cannon*3 Quality: Ordinary Type: Component Description: An old-fashioned cannon that is not too old. Its strength and durability are trustworthy, but please do not expect its accuracy and range. Equipped on a ship, it can increase the "firepower" attribute! Truth exists within the range of the cannon! These three artillery pieces were of course also looted from the Blood Wolf. ??Although this strange piece of machinery is called a "steam turbine." ?Xia Ens eyes were shining with excitement, but he still suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and waved his hand. ?With his current moral level, it would be unrealistic to directly rob merchant ships, but... Not only did he send his own head, he also sent over all the property on the "Blood Wolf", which directly solved Xia En''s debt problem. ??The hull of this ship is painted with scarlet paint. It is four or five times the size of the Black Swan and is enough to accommodate hundreds of people going out to sea together. Achieve two birds with one stone! Isnt it wonderful? ?It is hard to imagine how many ships are setting sail on the entire sea area. But it''s clearly worth it. He also knows that his current strength is far from being able to dominate the sea, and he still has to kneel when he encounters a truly powerful Mystic. One day, people all over the sea will look up to us! Captain Hansen, you are truly my noble man! The sails are painted with a magnificent pattern of roses, which is the emblem of the Nova family and the symbol of the duke. this day. But...how to install this thing? Not long after, as the Black Swan was about to sail into the port, a sailboat of similar size approached. Description: Machinery powered by steam was once one of the advanced technological products of the previous era, and is now widely used in navigation. On the opposite deck, there stood a rich, bald man. Having made a lot of money, a boatload of loot (including heads) is in urgent need of disposal. In addition, there is not much fresh water and dry food reserves left on the ship... Xia En''s eyes also fell on the "Blood Duke", but his heart felt a little hot. At this moment, Xia En also understood the reason why the Blood Wolf could catch up with the Black Swan. ?Shaan shook his head to calm himself down. ?On the other hand, Xia En has not forgotten that the attributes of the ship are also linked to himself. ?Shaan had some impression of this person. He seemed to be a fishing boat captain named "Jani", who had some issues with the original owner''s father. Compared with ordinary steam engines, they are more like creations that come out of some fantasy theme, full of weird and contradictory beauty. Gradually, a bold idea suddenly popped into Xia Ens mind. It has the meaning of hundreds of teams vying for the current and thousands of sails sailing. And this is just a small Duke Island. ??Xia En naturally has no reason to stay in this sea area anymore. The top priority is to quickly return to the island to replenish supplies. Equipped on a ship, it can increase the "speed" attribute! ??But it is indeed a way to make a fortune. Like many Chinese, Xia En also has a "phobia of insufficient firepower". There is no such thing as too much artillery. This is the Age of Discovery! It took Xia En a lot of effort to fish them out of the sea. ?Xia En was surprised by his idea at first, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was actually somewhat feasible. ?This place is not too far from Duke Island, and many ships can be vaguely seen on the sea. Previously, Jani approached the original owner and wanted to buy the Black Swan, but was rejected. ifier It seems that after returning to Duke Island, we need to find a reliable shipwright. ??If you could take charge of such a huge ship, how high would your attributes soar? Lets set sail and return! ? ?Precise gears, extremely complex cylinders, as well as brass-colored pipes, valves and connecting parts...just looking at it makes people have headaches. It can be called steam black technology! ?Xia En looked up and saw a huge three-masted sailboat slowly passing by on the sea. Second order? Third level? Or stronger? ?He patted the mast next to him and said to himself: "Xiao Hei, you have to work harder and upgrade quickly. Let''s work hard together." Upgrading the ship''s equipment is upgrading yourself. The difference in accuracy can be made up for by quantity! Why dont you just change your job? As for the strange machinery next to the artillery, it is even more heavyweight! Steam turbines of some years ??Xia En studied for a long time like a novice who was installing the computer for the first time, and finally came to the conclusion- ?Although the Blood Duke is large and powerful, it does not look down on small ships like the Black Swan, so it poses no threat. ?However, just putting it on the boat does not seem to be considered a "assembled" state. ??A long whistle sounded in the distance. That is the largest and most magnificent ship near Duke Island, and it is also the embodiment of Duke Nova''s force and authority. ?Think about it, this is the product of this worlds weird technology tree. Type: Component After counting all the trophies, Xia En felt happy and couldn''t stop smiling. Looking at this scene, Xia En felt a burning fire in his heart. Quality: Rare ?The pirate ship came to steal the Black Swan, and it was quite reasonable to kill the pirate ship himself, right? ??It can not only seize pirate bounties, but also loot the entire ship''s property. Hey, isnt this Captain Shane? ?This is the most valuable trophy on the [Blood Wolf]. If you want to install this steam turbine on a ship and use it as a reliable source of power, you need to make certain modifications to the ship''s hull! This task is obviously not something that Xia En can do alone. It is still necessary to take a long-term approach and not to rush. Its better to make money as a pirate. After working so hard to salvage sunken ships for so long, the income is not as good as this wave of robberies. ?Joy exclaimed softly, with a little awe in his eyes. But after Xia En looked at it carefully for a long time, he felt that it was completely different from the steam engine in his impression. ??If it were put up for auction on the island, I dont know how many Silver Snake coins it would sell for. The gap between the two was thus forged. The sails on the mast swayed gently, as if responding to Sean''s expectations. ?Shane planned to wait for them to dry before loading them on the side of the ship. ?Shane and Joey were wiping the trophies on the deck and putting them into sacks in categories. Now, its fantasy time!?????Ahem. To be honest, although the crabs and fish in the sea taste good, Xia En can''t stand eating them every day, so he has to change his taste with food on land. The ships are large and small, some have just left the sea, and some are returning. Steam technology, boy! The power sources of the two are not at the same level, so the speed is naturally incomparable. Its the Blood Duke! ?Xia En was in a hurry to get rid of the loot on the ship and didn''t want to waste too much time on him, so he asked calmly. Captain Jani, are you okay? (End of this chapter) Chapter 18 Tianqi Chamber of Commerce Chapter 18 Tianqi Chamber of Commerce "Nothing." ??Jani said with a smile: "I just want to ask, have you collected the money you owe the Duke?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Whether I have collected it all or not, it doesn''t seem to have anything to do with you, right?" Why doesnt it matter? Jani said righteously: "Your father and I have some friendship at least." "If the gap is not big, I can buy the Black Swan, which is better than giving both the people and the ship to the Duke." Xia En understood immediately, and Co-author still took a fancy to his boat! Dont think about it anymore. "hehe" Captain Shane! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?However, for Xia En now, this kindness is obviously a bit redundant. "Um?" Then Ill leave first. ?Most people''s attitude towards this is that they are waiting to see Shane''s joke. Hoover looked at the young captain and reminded: "I don''t need to say more about the consequences of teasing an inspector, right?" "What happened?" Duke Island is neither small nor big. ??The old housekeeper frowned slightly and happened to see the black man Jason beside him, so he stepped forward and grabbed him and asked. "Captain Shane, don''t be too angry. When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This is human nature." Oh, theres nothing else, right? The only difference is that he is not familiar with this "girlfriend" at all, and naturally there is no fluctuation in his heart. Xia En actually invited these two here? ??The former is scary enough just by the name of the Supervisory Bureau, and the latter is not an ordinary person either. Jani was not surprised. He sneered and looked back at the crew on the deck: "Renate, it seems that your former captain does not appreciate your kindness very much." ?Looking at Renate''s possible good intentions, Xia En didn''t bother to argue with them and prepared to sail into the harbor. ? Jason also had a bit of confusion on his face: "I heard people say that Shane seems to have... returned home with a full load?" Federal Inspectorate? Xia En smiled lightly: "Please rest assured." What on earth does he want to do? ?This cold attitude made the old housekeeper''s heart skip a beat, and he had an ominous premonition. Jani patted Renate on the shoulder and gloated. "But the premise is that he must survive the favor of the Duke." ?Theoretically, the federal supervisory chief and the executive should have an equal relationship. ?This crew member is none other than the former first mate on the Black Swan, the bearded Renate. Immediately, people automatically separated a road, allowing three people to pass. Just him and Joey who is afraid of water? Just when I walked to the dock near the Black Swan. Good day, Mr. Hoover, Mr. Beccas. Xia En said calmly: "Renate, since you have become Captain Jani''s second mate, you should completely draw a clear line with the Black Swan and stop meddling in my business in the future." In less than an hour, the news that the Black Swan had returned to the island spread to the ears of interested people. Renate couldn''t help but stopped him: "Do you want to stop thinking about it? Being the Duke''s male favorite will really kill you!" Even the old butler, a close confidant of Duke Nova, cannot break in and dispatch the personnel of the Supervision Bureau. Jason hurriedly responded: "Yes, I was wondering about it too! Let me tell you, it''s probably Shane who made it up to scare people!" ??He slowly packed up his suit, took a few of his men with him, and prepared to take over the Black Swan. The deck was filled with his spoils. ?After hesitating for a moment, the old housekeeper took the initiative to greet him, took off his hat and greeted him. ?Shaan had a strange expression. After saying that, he ignored the two people on the neighboring boat and steered the Black Swan away. How can I make a huge sum of hundreds of silver snake coins in half a month? Many people think that it was probably because Xia En encountered some setback at sea again that he simply gave up his struggle and returned to the island early to become the Duke''s male favorite. ??These two people are both well-known celebrities on Duke Island, and they rarely appear in places like the pier. ??Jani showed a proud smile: "Yes, Renate is already the second mate on my ship." ??This little thing did not require him to do it himself, but in order to avoid long nights and nightmares, the old housekeeper decided to personally come forward and send Xia En to the Duke''s bed tonight. It seems that I went to the Federal Inspectorate. ?Xia En followed his gaze. Obviously, he had not considered the possibility of Shane paying off his debt at all, so he came up with the strategy of finding someone to buy the Black Swan to help Shane tide over the difficulties. Looking at his back, Renate was a little angry. Then, they walked toward the deck of the Black Swan together. The old housekeeper calmed down and asked, "What about the Xia En people?" The old housekeeper opened his eyes slightly and subconsciously said in denial: "How is it possible?" Mr. Hoover from the Inspectorate? Do you want to go there to delay? Xia Ens previous supplier was also a member of the Tianqi Chamber of Commerce. Because he suddenly felt that the plot seemed a bit familiar. Isn''t this the scene where Huang Mao brought his girlfriend who was driven away by a cow to show off to the Lord of Suffering? ?So he said coldly: "I will naturally have a way to pay off the money I owe, so I won''t bother you." ?Every island that is included in the Seven Seas Federation will have a branch of the Federal Supervisory Bureau, with the purpose of supervising and checking the island''s governors, which has a rather transcendent status. As soon as the old housekeeper came up with this idea, he saw Xia En and two men, one tall and one short, walking over from a distance. For many ships, the time to go to sea can be as short as one month or as long as half a year. ??Perceiving Xia En''s gaze, Renate''s eyes subconsciously dodge. Old butler Sage Nova thought so too. ?Becas wiped his sweat with a silk scarf and said with a smile: "I hope the big business you talk about will not disappoint me." ??The tall and thin Hoover replied nonchalantly, while the bloated Becas next to him just nodded. The old housekeeper found that the surrounding atmosphere seemed a bit strange. The sailors on the dock were surrounding the Black Swan, looking curiously at the deck. The old housekeepers frown deepened. To this day, the Tianqi Chamber of Commerce has penetrated into every aspect of people''s lives and has become an integral part of the federation. Xia En glanced at the old housekeeper, but pretended not to see him and said calmly. You two, please board the ship. You have also seen that I have given him the opportunity, but he rejected it himself. Renate? To be honest, instead of being angry, he felt like laughing. Becas from the Chamber of Commerce! Why are they here? ??? That is the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] across the seven seas! It is said that the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce has a history older than the Seven Seas Federation, and can even be traced back to the era before the "Great Flood". ??I am obviously thinking about Xia En, so even if he doesn''t appreciate it, I still want to draw a clear line with myself? "Captain Shane is young and energetic. Only after he has suffered a lot will he understand how good you are, Renate." There were low exclamations from the crowd. ?On Duke Island, in addition to the Inspectorate, there is another organization that is not under the control of the Duke. Good day, Butler Sage. The old housekeeper and Jason quickly followed. Shane glanced at them but did not stop them. As soon as they walked onto the deck, their eyes widened... (End of this chapter) Chapter 19 Bounty is in hand! (Please recommend! Please collect!) Chapter 19 The reward is obtained! (Please recommend! Please collect!) I saw several bulging sacks on the deck of the Black Swan. Nearly piled up into a hill. Seeing this, Becas''s eyes lit up: "Good guy, there are quite a lot of things!" These are what you gained from this trip to sea? ?Shaan nodded and said: "Yes, please Mr. Bekas, please count one or two, and give me an estimate of the price." Easy to say, easy to say. ? Jason sneered cautiously: "Maybe he''s just lucky..." Joy, take that thing to Mr. Hoover. Xia En was not surprised by his reaction. The old housekeeper''s reaction after recognizing the deceased as Blood Wolf Hansen seemed a little too surprised. ?That''s Blood Wolf Hansen! Xia En said unexpectedly: "220 coins? Isn''t it 200 coins?" I still have things to deal with, so Ill take my leave now! Captain Xia En, congratulations. According to the wanted order issued by the Seven Seas Federation, you will receive a bounty of 220 silver snake coins. The old housekeeper''s pupils shrank slightly, but he remained calm on the surface. ??The old housekeeper felt that the black face in front of him was particularly annoying, and he cursed mercilessly: "Being able to chop off Blood Wolf Hansen''s head, do you think it''s luck to me?" ?There are a lot of weapons inside, including daggers, short swords, and water axes. ?Becass fat face was full of smiles. The words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn''t move up or down. His dark face turned red due to the suffocation, like a funny clown. ?This lens is simple and mysterious, exuding an extraordinary aura, and is obviously an extraordinary object. Is it Sailor Joey, or is there someone else helping him? Is it the Supervision Bureau or the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce? Yes, Captain! ??Xia En still ignored the two of them and just asked Hoover: "I wonder if this thing can be used as evidence to destroy the blood wolf Hansen?" ?Although the value of a single piece may not be very high, it cannot stand up to the large number of them! After seeing this, the old housekeeper came to his senses. at the same time. If thats not enough, I also have the bow statue and sail of the Blood Wolf. Xia En chuckled and said, "That''s natural." As if it wasnt the first time they met? Blood WolfBlood Duke ?After seeing the head, Hoover''s cold attitude softened somewhat. After looking at it through the lens for a moment, Hoover smiled and said with certainty: "It is indeed the head of Blood Wolf Hansen." Hoover replied: "Just when you went to sea this time, the federal bounty on Blood Wolf Hansen was increased." Idiot! Obviously, I probably wont be able to take Xia En away today. ??But he couldn''t figure it out. How did Xia En, who had nothing before going to sea and even only one sailor, get so many trophies? ??Moreover, if it was just to deal with the loot, what was Shane calling Inspector Hoover for? At this moment, Hoover, who had been silent, spoke. ?He first took out a monocle from his arms, wiped it carefully, then put on the lens and looked at the head in the box. Businessmen are big on profits. As long as Xia En can help him make money, what does it mean to put on a few smiling faces? "How can it be?" ?But now, Xia En actually brought his head back? He did not expect such an unexpected surprise, but who would think that the bounty received was too much? "Now that the ownership of the reward has been confirmed, I will take my leave first. I will send someone to deliver the reward later." Wait, he is... ??Jason slowly opened his mouth wide and looked at the scene in front of him in shock. Under the curious eyes of everyone, the black box slowly opened. ?The only thing that makes Shane a little strange is... Planned on the deck, when the sun shines on it, it becomes even more golden, filled with the unique charm of wealth. ?Every time a bag was opened, the faces of the old butler and Jason became uglier. ?? Jason saw the old butlers expression was gloomy and uncertain, and finally couldnt hold it back and asked. After saying this, the old housekeeper walked away. The more he counted, the brighter the smile on his face became, as big as an old chrysanthemum. ? Jason looked at Xia En blankly, feeling that he was very strange now, as if he was meeting each other for the first time. The corner of Xia Ens lips curled up: Thats a good feeling. Mr. Steward, you agreed before that you would leave me a seat on the Blood Duke ??Jason''s eyelids twitched suddenly: "Blood wolf? Is it the pirate blood wolf?" Then, leave. As he spoke, the old butler took Jason away, leaving Becas and others busy on the deck. Immediately afterwards, Shane opened the second sack. ??And it is not difficult to guess that the loot on this ship also comes from the Blood Wolf. At the same time, Becas also called several helpers to count the items in the sacks. ?Besides, Jason looked extremely ugly and did not want to believe what he was seeing. Beside Jason, the old butler exhaled a breath and regained his composure: "Captain Shane, you really gained a lot from this trip to sea. It seems that you will have no problem paying off the loan." The old housekeeper had done many dirty things for Duke Nova, and naturally he had offended many people. He subconsciously guessed that these enemies were causing trouble for him. The sound of the collision of metal ornaments and jewelry is clear and sweet. But in the future, you and the Duke may have the opportunity to cooperate. When that happens, I will definitely welcome it. In the final analysis, it was the original owner who asked the old housekeeper to borrow money. Even if he did some tricks along the way, it was still a consensual transaction. Hearing this, disgust flashed in the old butler''s eyes. He slapped Jason on the face and said coldly: "Are you the one who wants to board the Blood Duke? Are you worthy?" I didnt expect that he turned over after just one trip to the sea! Go away, dont let me see you again. ??Xia En vaguely captured something from this information, but he couldn''t be sure yet. However, with his own ability, it is indeed impossible to do this. Captain Shane, you should know that this is not what I want to see, right? ?Joy responded crisply and walked to Hoover holding a black box in both hands. ?Shane will not completely offend Duke Nova because of this. Blood Wolf Hansen! Could it be said? After seeing the man''s appearance clearly, it was the old housekeeper who changed his expression first. After leaving the deck of the Black Swan, the old butler''s face suddenly darkened. Subsequently, the third, the fourth, the fifth... Inside, there is a mans head! But it doesnt matter, Hansens bounty is not so easy to get! How on earth did he do it? Scarlet Coat of Arms Even when the old captain was still there, if the Black Swan encountered a pirate ship like the Blood Wolf, it would have no choice but to flee in panic! "Please wait." ?Shaan didnt even look at him. He just walked to the nearest sack and poured out the contents. Its a beautiful thought! On the other hand, Jason, the black man, had an earthy complexion and his eyes were full of disbelief. ??Although the sack at the back does not have as strong an impact as the first one, the content inside is definitely not garbage. The blade reflected a faint cold light in the sunlight. ? Even Duke Nova himself most likely didnt know about this. This was just a little trick played by the old housekeeper to please her. Hoover bowed slightly, saluted, and glanced meaningfully at the old butler next to him. ? Jason was left standing there blankly, not knowing where to go. Woohoo, come and add some collections, recommendations, and comments! Its okay to come and talk to someone! ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 20 new and old Chapter 20 New and Old Port, a salvage ship docked on the shore. ??A female captain who was two meters tall caught a glimpse of the Black Swan not far away and said to the hook-nosed man next to her. "Little Fried, the Black Swan has returned to port. I remember...you were a sailor on that ship before, right?" If nothing else happens, that ship will be merged into the Dukes fleet today. Hearing this, Fried, who was wiping his sailor''s knife, paused, and then said as if he didn''t care. Thats right, so what? "pity" ?Becas showed his true nature as a businessman and said: "Captain Shane, if there is a similar business in the future, don''t forget me." Xia En said gently: "Take it, this is the reward you deserve." ? Joeys eyes were full of expectations: I will try my best! ? ?? ?Fried was silent. Mr. Captains face After all, you are also a crew member of the Black Swan, and you represent the face of the entire ship and the captain. The female captain said: "It is the captain''s loss that he could not retain an excellent sailor like you." On the deck of a fishing boat. ??The sailor defended: "It''s true, Mr. Hoover sent the bounty to the Black Swan!" Captain Xia En, there are 3 gold dragon coins and 20 silver snake coins in total. Please count them. ?From the day these crew members left the Black Swan, they were destined to be strangers to each other. Why do you say you are a bitch? I just want to tease him a few words! ?What if Xia En takes revenge on him in the future? On the other side, Renate looked dazed, still not recovered from the shock of the news. Its not hard, its not hard. At this time, Xia En was busy putting the finishing touches on the sale of the trophies. ?At this moment, a sailor just walked back to the deck from the shore and winked at Fried. In the face of this achievement, his previous performance was undoubtedly as ridiculous as a clown. Hearing the news, Fried was stunned and hesitated: "You mean, Blood Wolf Hansen and his Blood Wolf were killed by Shane?" ?After shaking hands and talking happily, Bekas quickly said goodbye and left. Mr. Hoover The envy in his tone almost overflowed. ?Thinking of this, Jani felt regretful. ?Besides, even if everything is safe on the island, what if we encounter the Black Swan at sea? Xia En even sank the Blood Wolf. Wouldn''t it be easy to deal with a small fishing boat like his? Definitely, happy cooperation. But the laws binding force on the strong has always been limited. He continued: "Now, you can use the money to spend. I suggest you change your outfit and buy some equipment." ?Xia En thought for a while, took out 30 silver snake coins from another purse, and handed it to Joey beside him. ??It was really difficult for him to connect the incident of "annihilating the Blood Wolf Pirate Group" with the cowardly and weak Xia En in his memory. Hearing this name, Jani felt no luck and his face turned pale. ?Shaan grinned. Looking at the white silver snake coins in front of him, Joey was speechless for a moment. ??The sailor''s face was full of wonder: "You don''t know, it took three or four trips just to transport the loot on the ship." ?At the same time, Joey was also a little curious. Captain Shane was obviously so capable and so generous. I dont know if he killed him, but Shane did bring back Blood Wolf Hansens head, along with a boat full of loot! Thats a shame. ?Furthermore, based on Xia Ens experience in his previous life, if you want to maintain a good cooperative relationship, everyone must have something to eat. ?This little girl is much easier to coax than those old-fashioned social beasts. ?For sailors like them who are making a living at sea, the biggest wish is to buy a house of their own on the island, so that they no longer have to risk their lives at sea. Whats the news? ?Just one trip to sea turned him from being heavily in debt to having a small amount of assets. ??What on earth did the previous sailor think that he took the initiative to leave the Black Swan? ?On Duke Island, each ship is bound by the laws of the Seven Seas Federation and a certain degree of order is maintained. In the Federation of the Seven Seas, there is even a saying that "punishment cannot be carried out in a secret way". ??Although Joey boarded his boat for personal reasons, these days of getting along with her have made Xia En recognize her. If I were still on the Black Swan, maybe I would still have a share of those rich trophies, right? ?In the past, whether he was working in a restaurant or working as a sailor on a ship, being deducted from his wages was a common occurrence for Joey. Xia En naturally knew nothing about the thoughts and moods of these "old crew members". She was deeply moved: "Mr. Captain, thank you." ??Joy was stunned: "Mr. Captain, what is this?" ??Fried''s expression froze, and then he sighed and said: "I follow the respectable old captain, not the young and reckless current captain." For this reason, a slight loss is acceptable. Making money is fun! The silver snake coins next to them suddenly looked dim compared to them. "Does Blood Wolf Hansen know? His bounty was taken by Xia En!" ?Shaan was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Bekas." Renate sighed inwardly, feeling the slightest regret about leaving the Black Swan for the first time. With money, you will be one step closer to your goal of returning home. ?Becass purchase price is actually slightly lower than the market price. He may still make a profit if he sells it, but only the merchants of the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce can eat so many goods in one go. ? Even so, 320 silver snake coins are already a huge amount of money. ?This was the first time she saw so many silver snake coins belonging to her. Oh, little Fried, you are really not candid. Could it be that just one trip to sea is enough to make such a big change in a person? ??Fried looked at the familiar Black Swan not far away. He was speechless for a long time and his mood was extremely complicated. Impossible! Absolutely impossible! ?At this moment, he understood why Xia En had such a nonchalant attitude before. Could it be that... your brain is broken? Xia En didn''t know what she was thinking, so he skillfully drew a pie: "As long as you work **** the Black Swan, you will only earn more in the future!" Its a pleasure to work with. Xia En opened the purse and saw three golden dragon coins lying peacefully inside. To be precise, he didn''t care at all. "Now Xia En has become rich. Not to mention paying off the debt, he can even buy a house on the island!" Jani also heard the news from the sailor, and his expression immediately darkened. So, the current Black Swan has nothing to do with me. The female captain said with a smile: "Who was that person who was mumbling about the Black Swan and the old captain when he was drunk before?" ?Shaen is the captain, not the slave owner who captured Parlu. It is still very important to reward him based on his merits. Hey, Freed! Your new captain has made big news on the island! ??Joy also played a big role when facing the pursuit of the Blood Wolf. Coupled with the cash and bounties collected previously, not only can the debt be paid off, but also about 300 Silver Snake coins can be saved. "Um?" ??Becas had a greasy smile on his face and handed the money bag to Shane. ?Joy hesitated for a moment, and then nodded heavily as if he had made some determination. Okay, I understand! (End of this chapter) Chapter 21 Recruit new crew members Chapter 21 Recruiting new crew members After sending Joey away, Shane did not forget about business. He first took the money to the Duke''s Palace to pay off the debt. The moment when the contract was torn into pieces in front of the old steward. ?Xia En felt refreshed and relaxed, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground. Like many traditional Chinese people, Xia En actually hates owing others things, and if he doesnt have a certain amount of savings, he will fall into inexplicable anxiety. Now that he has paid off his original debt, he feels like he has broken free from the shackles. It is said that his ancestors are from a declining knight family and adhere to the chivalry of the previous era. If he identifies you as the captain, there will definitely be no problem with his loyalty. ??Bis looked Xia En up and down, her red lips parted slightly: "He is quite handsome, a bit like your father." ?However, Xia En has business to attend to. Black Swan? It is not ordinary at first sight. His name is An. As you can see, he is mute and certainly doesnt speak much. But there is a premise After hearing this, Bisi thought for a moment: "Shipbuilders are easy to find. As long as the money is available, I can find them for you right away." Xia En likes this kind of cheerful person, he said directly. ?Xia En pretended not to understand her subtext and said blankly. Xia En already had a plan in mind and said: "First of all, you must be loyal enough to at least not betray me when you are on my ship." Secondly, he must be physically strong and capable of doing the work of a salvager. That''s right. ??Bisi led the two of them back to the bar. Good-looking boys should protect themselves even more when they go out. After walking in front of him, the armored man didn''t speak, and just stared at Xia En silently. You must know that the moral quality of sailors is not much higher than that of pirates. Xia En came to her because in his memory, she seemed to be having an affair with the original owner''s father? Looking at it now...this cheap dad is very lucky! Not long after, Xia En arrived at the door of the largest tavern on Duke Island - the Wind and Waves Tavern. Ive also heard about you. Tell me, what do you want to do with me? ?Other than the unique shape, An seems to have met most of his requirements. ??This man was wearing a full set of steel armor, with a one-piece helmet on his head, and was fully armed from head to toe. Soon, a girl with most of her **** exposed came forward and asked with a smile. Wind and Waves Tavern, I didnt see the wind, but the waves were definitely strong enough. After putting on the armor, he was two meters tall. Even Shane, who was 1.8 meters tall, had to look up. ?Xia En rubbed his chin and thought. With a "Pfft" sound, Bisi couldn''t help but smile: "You little brat, you are much smarter than your father." Uhhello? Just when Xia En thought there was no chance, Bisi said: "There is indeed a suitable candidate, but his situation is a bit special, so we have to let him meet you first." I need reliable shipwrights and sailors. Please help Ms. Bisi recommend a few suitable candidates. The agency fee is negotiable. "If you want to solve these two things at once, it seems you have to go to that place..." Then...Sister Bisi? With two "swipes", the armored man wrote a line of smooth and beautiful handwriting on the cardboard and displayed it in front of Sean. ?As soon as he opened the door, there was a strong smell of rum, pungent low-quality perfume, the smell of sweat, and noisy and boiling voices. As a tavern owner, Bisis intelligence network should not be underestimated, so she went straight to the point. An continued to write words on the paper, and the handwriting became vigorous and powerful. Sister, just sister, you sit here for a while, and I will go find someone for you while you wait for me. ?This taste is so strong! Xia En was a little confused by what he saw. He was about to turn around and ask Bisi for help, but saw the armored man fumble for a piece of cardboard and a charcoal pencil from his waist. Next, there are two things to do. After a while, the girl came back with a strange expression. Still calling you maam? "Let me think about it..." Bisi touched her chin with her beautiful fingers and thought for a long time. ?Xia En thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. ??Bisi showed a smile that was not too big to watch, and added: "That is, you have to pass An''s assessment." ??Xia En followed her to the bar counter and saw a rich and generous lady in front of her. One is to find a reliable shipwright to install the steam engine and main gun on the Black Swan. But a reliable sailor...it depends on your specific requirements. Xia En also knew that his request was a bit overwhelming, and added: "If the first point is met, the other conditions can be flexible." The second is to recruit a few sailors. Xia En tentatively said hello to him: "May I ask your name?" As we all know, in addition to drinking, you can also do other things that are more enjoyable than drinking in pubs. ??The tavern owner is inherently a broker, so asking Bisi to help introduce him is better than looking for someone blindly like a headless fly on his own. It didnt take long. Are you Shane? Little brother, are you here to play? ?The girl glanced at Xia En in surprise, but still didn''t ask anything and turned around to leave. She is the owner of the Wind and Waves Tavern, Bis, known as the "Scarlet Rose"! ??This woman is plump and tall, and wears bold and hot clothes. She wears **** fishnet stockings under the short skirt that barely covers her thighs, and her long rose-red hair hangs like a waterfall behind her. The armored man remained silent. There is one of them, all of which are milk, the color of the sacrifice to the ship, and only the private army raised by the Duke of Nova is slightly attributed. The previous girl was already considered to be "a ridge when viewed from the side and a peak from the side", but in front of this woman, she could only be regarded as a dwarf. The other persons shape is extremely strange. ?One of them is a bald middle-aged man. It can be seen from the sparse top of his head that he is probably a skilled worker. ??Bisi glanced at Xia En meaningfully, and placed her delicate hand on the back of his hand seemingly unintentionally. ?Shaan: Xia Ens eyes suddenly lit up: Please introduce Ms. Bisi. He glanced at the white "evil" with regret and said: "Call Boss Bisi for me and tell the captain of the Black Swan to find her." Are you my captain? It would be better if you dont talk much and dont have bad habits. Are you talking? etc? ??The joints of the armor''s joints are extremely delicate, the metal texture is solid and thick, and there seems to be some strange magic pattern craftsmanship on it. After she left, Xia En touched the back of his hand and sighed in his heart. Evidently he was the shipwright who repaired the cabin. ??Bisi showed a strange expression: "Loyalty? This is not a simple request." Follow me, the boss is waiting for you at the bar. After the armored man appeared, the noisy tavern fell silent, showing his strong sense of oppression. ?Xia En suddenly realized something and heard Bi Sis explanation. Sure enough, this world is too dangerous. If you want to be my captain, please duel with me! After writing this line, An drew the sword from her waist and made an ancient and solemn ceremonial gesture towards Xia En. Ann has invited you to a duel! (End of this chapter) Chapter 22 My value is higher than yours! Chapter 22 My value is higher than yours! In that case, I will accept your test! Faced with this sudden invitation to a duel, Xia En was not very panicked. After the battle with the Blood Wolf Pirate Group, he also had a general understanding of his own strength. Even the body on the shore does have the combat power of a first-order Mystic Pathfinder. ?Although the armored man in front of me doesn''t look easy to mess with, who is stronger or weaker can only be known after fighting him. Being timid before fighting is a taboo on the battlefield! After all, Ans unbeaten record is clearly more valuable than Shanes. Your Excellency Knight, you have lost. Hong Kong! Keng! Keng! There were several more collisions between sword blades. ??Xia En shook his arm suddenly, shaking the long sword away, and then his feet swam, coming behind An like a ghost, and kicked him at the joint of his right leg. ??There are also some brave captains who have tried it, but most of them ended up miserable. They either had broken bones or suffered internal injuries, and they could not get better after lying in bed for more than half a month. Dang! An took the initiative to let go of the long sword in his hand. ?He stabilized his center of gravity and looked around, but Xia En was nowhere to be seen. ??But An''s previously invincible strength could not bring much hindrance to Xia En. ?Before An Lin came, Xia En took a nimble side step and dodged a sword that was close at hand. ?He raised his sword and swung it again. The sword was whistling and the power was very impressive. At this moment, Xia Ens pupils narrowed. ??Bess smiled brightly: "I declare that the winner of this duel is...the captain of the Black Swan, Sean!" The sword blades of both sides were trembling slightly, which showed that the fight was evenly matched. Hiss Blood Wolf Hansen!? ??The sweeping force of An''s sword was so powerful. Xia En blocked it in a hurry and used such a fragile short sword. How could he block it? ?Through this blow, he could judge that although An''s power was greater than his own, it was very limited. ??The sailors couldn''t bear it anymore, so they placed their bets one after another, and by the way, they touched a handful of the girl''s **** to rub oil. As long as you dont get swept away, thats fine! ?However, what happened next made people look surprised. At the critical moment, Xia En raised his dagger and blocked it with his backhand in front of his waist... ?Such a charge is certainly impressive, but it also has flaws. ?The pain was transmitted to the brain, and An couldn''t help but make a muffled sound. But among various attributes, strength happens to be Xia En''s weakest one. Xia En smiled and nodded, and then he and An came to both sides of the ring. ?Hands were a little numb, but Xia En smiled. But the invitation to duel alone has already deterred many people. At this moment, An''s shoulders suddenly sank, and at the same time, a sharp feeling came from the gap in the helmet on his neck, and the sharp blade touched his skin, biting and cold. Even the arena beneath his feet was shaking slightly, as if there were cracks emerging. Xia En held the black stone dagger and assumed the starting position of [Unknown Swordsmanship], staring intently at An''s movements. ??Bis also knew that this situation was unavoidable, so she simply set up a ring in the tavern, where she could also make extra money by opening the market. ?People looked at the handsome young man in disbelief. His expression was relaxed and carefree, as if he had just done a trivial thing. ?But Xia En didn''t know when he had arrived in front of him and kicked him on the knee again. The sword wind blew his pale golden hair, and the sharpness almost touched his skin. Looking at Xia En''s readily agreeable performance, An''s eyes flashed with satisfaction under his helmet. "it''s over." "Is it the boy whose first night was bought by the Duke? Why is he here?" At this time, Xia En was stepping on An''s shoulders, leaning down, and a small part of the black stone dagger had been submerged in the gap in the armor. ?This kind of fully armed enemy has an obvious weakness, which is the joint of the armor. Such an idea occurred in the minds of many sailors. Mr. Shane, be careful! ??And after seeing him display the etiquette of inviting a duel and walking to the ring, everyone knew it and had fun again! ?With a crew member as good as An, of course many captains have taken a liking to him. For a moment, there was silence in the Fenglang Tavern. An staggered and almost fell to the ground. But the majority of people who are not optimistic about him still make up the majority. Anns eye-catching appearance has already attracted the attention of many sailors nearby. My value is higher than yours! ?The tall body and heavy armor make it look like a charging heavily armored chariot, filled with an overwhelming sense of oppression. Hearing this information, some sailors had a slight change in their views on Sean. boom! An''s body swayed slightly, but he still maintained his standing posture. "Old man, your information is out of date! He seems to have brought back the head of Blood Wolf Hansen and paid off the debt." Hong Kong! The sound of gold and stone clashing sounded. ??On the contrary, between each attack, the joints of An''s legs would become the target of Xia En''s attack. Now, its my turn to fight back! Ann wrote these two lines of large characters with charcoal and showed them to Xia En. It''s not that An doesn''t want to defend, but with his speed, he can''t keep up with Xia En''s actions! There was a "bang", and there was another knee attack. Which captain is this blind? After seeing the challenger''s appearance clearly, the sailors onlookers looked a little strange. ?In terms of appearance alone, Xia En is at a comprehensive disadvantage. His slender arms and body are like a joke in front of An''s steel body. Then, let the duel begin! ??Bisi personally acted as the referee: "Are you two ready?" very good. "I''m afraid he doesn''t even have hair. How dare he duel with An? I''m afraid he''s not here to die!" The long sword fell to the ground, which also announced the outcome of the duel. ??I saw An suddenly changed from stabbing to sweeping, and the long sword swept towards his waist and abdomen. As soon as he finished speaking, An raised his sword, stepped forward, and rushed toward Xia En. As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more exciting. But some people recognized his identity. ?That means if you miss a hit, there will be a huge backswing! The powerful and heavy body shape can sometimes be called "slow and bulky". Coincidentally, among the four-dimensional attributes, Shane''s highest is speed! The next moment, there was a roar of people, mostly the screams of gamblers. ?Sailors have bad tempers. After drinking, they are more like dynamite barrels that explode at once. There are many stories of fights over trivial matters. As a knight, I will give my best to every duel. ??In the ring, neither Xia En nor An was affected by the noise around them. ??If he lets it go, he doesn''t know how many more lives he will lose. That''s all, it''s the result of An giving up. Who is that pretty boy? Its been a long time since the captain of the Aryan suffered a fracture, right? Captain of the Black Swan, Shane! Just what I wanted. The smoothness of his moves was as if An had anticipated Xia En''s actions in advance. Well-meaning gentlemen, its time to place your bets! Let''s go to the ring in the tavern. ??The dagger in Xia En''s hand was firmly against An''s long sword, preventing him from making any progress. ?Several gorgeous girls received Bisi''s instructions and walked through the crowd holding trays on their white breasts. Damn it, An actually lost!? My money ahhhhhhhh!! (End of this chapter) Chapter 23 Who are you? Chapter 23 Who are you? ??Feeling sad, but no sailor dared to cause trouble in the Wind and Waves Tavern. The way they looked at Xia En also changed subtly, with a bit of awe and vigilance. Above the Seven Seas, the rule of the jungle has always been followed. Naturally, sailors have a strong culture. The duel between Xia En and An undoubtedly proved himself. This is also one of Xia Ens purposes. Xia En suddenly had a realization in his heart. ?After all, this is just a small modification, and with the blessing of currency ability, it naturally does not take much time. And [Knight] is also one of the many secret professions. It comes and goes, which is equivalent to losing money every day! Is there a way to make it faster? I lost. ?But now the deal is done, Xia En has already accepted the allegiance ceremony, and it is impossible to go back on it. Oh, more money, right? Thats easy to say! She was wearing a clean and tidy women''s light chainmail shirt, her face was young and delicate, her skin was fair and delicate, like a fragile porcelain doll. Xia En said categorically: "Of course it''s true! When did I lie to you?" After listening, the bald master nodded. In this world, etiquette itself has mystery and power. Xia En understood instantly. He was not short of money anyway, so he might as well spend it early and enjoy it early. Smooth white hair is spread on both shoulders, and the girl''s red eyes add a bit of mystery and dreamy temperament. ?Having acquired the attributes of a ship, his physical fitness has long been developed to surpass that of humans. Captain Shane''s martial virtues are abundant and superior to mine. After writing, An half-knelt down on one knee and lowered his head to salute Xia En. ?Xia En weighed his money bag and felt a little distressed. Xia En suddenly understood that the aesthetics of people in this world were obviously not yet able to accept this kind of image. "Yes." The bald shipwright was also very happy and directly pointed out the clear path to Xia En. Mr. Captain, its me! The moment the words fell, I dont know if it was Xia Ens illusion, but he felt that there was some kind of invisible connection between himself and An. Sometimes hiding your strength too much will only cause unnecessary trouble. Showing part of your strength appropriately can cover up things you really dont want outsiders to know. ??Joy breathed a sigh of relief. Used in boarding battles, it is definitely a killer weapon! At this time, An stood up again and wrote. Joy? Seeing Xia En being silent for a long time, Joey lowered his head again and said humbly: "Sure enough, is the way I was before more suitable for me?" Xia En quickly stopped her: "Who said this look is not suitable for you? I think it''s good!" The most eye-catching thing is the hair on the top of her head. ?Of course, thinking about accounting now is a bit too far-sighted. In order to match his performance, Xia En also put on a straight face and said in a deep voice. ?It was as white as snow! Among ordinary humans, An is already a rare strong man, and he can easily defeat ten. After entrusting the shipwright with full authority to repair the ship, Xia En walked to the deck to get some air, and saw a strange girl in front of him. The sea will bear witness to my oath. I accept your allegiance! ?So, Xia En took advantage of this time to explain his requirements to the taciturn shipwright. Wait, a lifelong captain? The corner of Xia En''s mouth trembled, and he felt a little weird. Why did these words sound so heavy? He may not necessarily stay at sea for the rest of his life! ?Xia En suddenly discovered something. Im going to dye my hair back right now. Im sorry, I scared the captain... ?Shaan left the Wind and Waves Tavern with emotion and walked towards the port where the Black Swan was docked. Why did you suddenly appear on my boat? Do I need to find a professional accountant to help me manage my money? If youre not a householder, you dont know how expensive firewood and rice are. "Very good." ??Although he didn''t know what the use of this connection was, Xia En was still very satisfied with An. However, its really a waste of money... At this time, the girl was looking at Xia En nervously, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with her delicate hands. Who are you? ??He originally wanted to pay the agency fee, but after asking, he found out that Bisi had made a huge profit just by betting on the duel just now, so he simply waived this small amount of money. The process of An''s loyalty to him actually conforms to the ritual of the secret path of the [Knight], which is why he has some unusual feelings. I will protect your safety with my life! But he seems...a little too loyal? ?Joy raised his head expectantly, his eyes pitiful. "real?" What a rich and generous lady. The girl shouted slightly aggrievedly. I am convinced that I lost. From now on, you will be my captain for life! After the little girl calmed down, Xia En asked curiously: "Why did you dye your hair that color and cover your eyes before?" ??This is a unique etiquette of the knight family. When An salutes, his movements are even more meticulous, looking focused and solemn. ?Back on the deck, Joey was nowhere to be seen. He must have been handling personal matters on the island. A week? Is it a bit too long? At this time, An came to Xia En and wrote on the cardboard. Even though it seems that Shane won easily, it was purely because his numerical value was too high. No problem, but it will take a week to complete. Xia En was confused. Finally, Xia En entrusted the bald shipwright to find a few helpers to renovate the ship at a price of 45 silver snake coins, which immediately shortened the expected time to three days. ?With a somewhat strange mood, Xia En took An and the boatman to Bisi to say goodbye. Ann is indeed very loyal and meets her own requirements. "etc!" Could it be a love debt from the original person? After holding it in for a long time, Xia En couldn''t help but ask: "Who are you?" ??Xia En frowned slightly. He had one opportunity to dive every day. He snorkeled near Duke Island, and the profit was obviously very low. Ann needed to pack her luggage, so she did not go with him. ??Joy replied in a low voice: "Because of the color of my hair and eyes, when I was a kid, everyone was afraid of me. They called me...monster." But his mood became increasingly strange. Just hire a few more people to work together, but the wages must be a little more... Other than being a little short and having a flat chest, she is already considered a rare beautiful girl. Then, please accept my allegiance, Ann Duarte Karloff! Hearing this voice, Xia En finally recognized the girls identity. ??Although Xia En knew that Joey was a girl before, he didn''t know that Joey was such a good-looking girl! Previously, Joey had kept his head down, and his hair was as messy as seaweed, covering most of his small face. If you could see clearly, there would be ghosts. ?The more than 600 silver snake coins were not warmed up yet, and in the blink of an eye, there were only more than 200 left. In addition, there were also some supplies on the ship, such as salt, spices, and cleaning supplies, which was another huge expense. But he was a Chinese in his previous life. White hair and red eyes are a good civilization! (End of this chapter) Chapter 24 Eye of the Secret Sea, add it to me! Chapter 24 Eye of the Secret Sea, add it to me! After some inquiries. Only then did Xia En realize that what prompted Joey to make up his mind to change his image was what he had said unintentionally before. ?He couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed, this little girl was too honest. ?It''s so easy to deceive, which makes me, the boss, feel a little uneasy. ?However, looking at Joey''s appearance at this time, Xia En found it quite pleasing to the eye. Having said that, is this a form of persuasion to change? At dusk, An got on the ship with large and small boxes of luggage. Durability: 99/100 Description: The elf, who has been rendered speechless due to the secrets in his bloodline, adheres to the chivalry spirit of the old era, and has regarded you as his lifelong master. A rich and abundant warmth flowed into Xia En''s body through the "Eye of the Secret Sea" deep in his mind. After a while, the warm current gradually subsided. The ancient steam turbine was installed on the Black Swan and began operation. With the completion of the modification, it also woke up at this time. Sorry, Captain, I can''t do it. After installing artillery and steam turbines, the Black Swan''s firepower increased to 5, and its speed increased to 7. Xia En looked at An suspiciously. ?Shaan first introduced him and Joey to each other. After all, they were all companions on the same boat, so they had to have a general understanding. An was stunned for a moment, then wrote. Type: Ketch I wonder what benefits it will bring to me after binding? ??If he and An were to fight again, he probably wouldn''t need to take advantage of his speed and could defeat An with pure brute force. Bloodline is both a gift and a curse. What made him even more curious was that in the description, "the secret technique in the bloodline" seemed to be the reason why An became mute. Crew: An (unbound) Size: small to medium Could it be said that all elves have been cursed with [aphasia]? This is what Shane said about him. Skill: Can be viewed after binding Xia En waved his arms and jumped twice slightly. ?This speculation is too shocking, but if it is true, what kind of hatred would cause such a secret technique to be applied to the bloodline of a race? ?After all, this was just Xia En''s guess. He only thought about it for a moment and didn''t think much about it. ?Xia En was vaguely looking forward to it. The next three days. [Core components: Strong single cannon (common)*3 + old single cannon (inferior), generally strong sail (common), rough wooden hull (common), steam turbine of some age (rare) Race: Elf Secret Career: Knight (Level 0) Speaking of which, Joey has been on the ship for almost a month and can be bound soon. It can be seen that Joey is very curious about this tin man who communicates with pen and paper, and he keeps asking questions. The start-up of the steam engine overlaps with the invisible roar in my mind. ?There are only three people on a boat, which is still too few. However, it is not easy to find sailors who meet Xia En''s requirements. ??However, Xia En also noticed that the panel displayed "race" instead of "bloodline." Liketake off that helmet! ?At this point, Xia En is no longer surprised to see this kind of fantasy race. ?Every cell seems to be jumping for joy under this warm current. Muscles and bones become tougher and denser, and the body becomes more well-proportioned and presents a beautiful streamlined shape. Xia En finally couldn''t help but said: "An, you can relax a little on the boat." Seeing An Du write this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him, and he was considerate enough not to ask the reason behind it. It''s not just putting the cannon on the ship that can be converted into attributes. It is foreseeable that there will be opportunities to cooperate with shipwrights in the future, and it is not a bad thing to establish a good relationship in advance. ??Recruiting a group of rabble rashly will be detrimental to the development of Black Swan. What a good boy. ??Xia En continued to look for suitable sailors while adding the necessary supplies to the ship for going to sea. Rather, the artillery needs to play a practical role and be regarded as part of the Black Swan, so that it can simultaneously enhance its physical fitness. At least on Duke Island, Shane had never heard of any real pure-blood elves. In the end, no new sailors were recruited. Codename: Black Swan next moment. "Um?" ?Shaen seemed to hear the long and loud call of the Black Swan. It was a childish, vague and chaotic consciousness, but it was filled with joyful emotions. ?Xia En is not in a hurry about this. In his opinion, with [Captains Dignity], the crew members are not as valuable as they are valuable. Fortunately, although An''s image is a bit scary, her personality is actually very gentle. ?Xia En smiled fondly. Its a pity that artillery is a controlled commodity on Duke Island and cannot be purchased openly. Otherwise, if we just buy ten or eight guns, wouldnt the firepower soar into the sky? Just wait until Xia En introduces the facilities on the ship and arranges a room for An. ?This consciousness is the ships soul of the Black Swan. When it was transformed by the shipwright, the ships soul seemed to have fallen into a temporary slumber. Xia En smiled even brighter. At that time, it will still be necessary to replace the artillery with a larger caliber, more powerful, and higher accuracy. Attributes: Firepower 5, Speed ??7, Solidity 4, Mystery 1 ?After a moment of realizing his condition, Xia En happily paid the remaining wages to the shipwrights and treated them to a meal. Open the panel and take a look. Correspondingly, Xia En''s attributes skyrocketed again. Talent: can be viewed after binding Elf? Eye of the Secret Sea, add it to me! This is somewhat rare. This shows that Anduo is probably a pure elf! Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (11%) There is a reason why I cannot take off my helmet. ??Thinking about it carefully, the three people in his boat are really a sleeping dragon and a phoenix, a succubus, a sea monster, and now there is also an elf! Its impossible to create a pure-blooded human by co-writing, right? ?Of course, Xia En also knows that the panels calculation of attributes is not that simple. ?Like a young child who has received candy and is acting coquettishly to his nearest and dearest being. He clearly felt that his strength had grown significantly and his body became lighter. Boom Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. A true knight! ?The size of the Black Swan''s side means that the number of [effective artillery pieces] it can equip is limited. ?This morning, Sean stayed in the cabin and watched the shipwrights drive the last nail. ?However, as the captain, Xia En still checked the information on the board. Just taking off a helmet, it shouldnt be a big deal, right? Otherwise, how do you usually eat and drink? ??Indescribable magical power roamed through Xia En''s limbs and bones. ??Although Bisi introduced a few more people one after another, and many sailors volunteered to board the Black Swan, they were unable to reach an agreement due to various reasons. Subsequently, Shane summoned the only two crew members to the deck. Recommendations please! Please collect! Asking for a monthly ticket! (End of this chapter) Chapter 25 Target, Coral City! Chapter 25 Target, Coral City! Mr. Captain! ?On the deck, Joey, who had changed his outfit, greeted Xia En excitedly. An also nodded slightly in greeting. Looking at the two men who looked very different from ordinary sailors, Xia En knew in his heart that they were his original team. ??Although there are only two of us, it is much better than the situation of being alone when we first arrived. ?Shaan asked: Have you finished all your matters on the island? ?Joy nodded: "It''s been taken care of." A moment later, a lazy female voice came from the door. ?With the hybrid power of sails and steam turbines, the Black Swan headed towards the vast expanse of blue waves. On the ground, there was a long whip stained with blood, a few red candles that were almost burned out, and various weird "toys" scattered randomly. "oh?" Anns writing is as honest as his person. It''s really shocking. At this time, Duke Nova asked calmly: "Did the fleet of the Seven Seas Federation do it?" simultaneously! Before the old housekeeper finished speaking, his body was like a candle, quickly melting into a puddle of dark red flesh. ?Just after missing him for one morning, Xia En''s aura became much stronger than before, giving him an invisible sense of oppression. ?Havent this knight in armor only known the captain for a few days? It also strengthened An''s determination to serve Xia En for the rest of her life. ?He knew that what Duke Nova hated most was not that the housekeeper was incompetent, but that the housekeeper had his own selfish motives. "The information you provided is very accurate. Sage really wants to use his power for personal gain and let me deal with his enemies." "come in." ?These pirates gave her part of the looted property in exchange for the Blood Duke not to destroy them. ??The old housekeeper''s eyes flickered and he pretended to speak calmly. Why do you have to be loyal for the rest of your life? Compared to such a trivial matter Duke Nova''s tone was calm: "Little Hansen is dead? What a pity. I quite like the little gift he gave me." "exist!" "yes!" On the island, in the luxurious and spacious Duke''s Palace. Pirate ships that have established some reputation, such as the "Blood Wolf", will also receive certain support. How is it? Its amazing, isnt it? ??Joy said to An in the tone of a senior: "I was also shocked when I first saw him!" In the curtain, the woman''s question came out, and the man''s painful breathing could still be vaguely heard. ??Xia En walked to the steering wheel and held the solid and simple rudder: "Raise the sails and set sail!" I didn''t expect that the captain had such an ability. No wonder he was able to capture the head of Blood Wolf Hansen. ?In An''s surprised eyes, the uncontrolled steam turbine started on its own, the cable and the sail worked in perfect harmony, and the anchor was pulled up from the depths of the sea. Bruno, come in quickly, I want to give you a small reward. The smell of pickled powder, blood, and body odor after a cloud of rain mixed together and penetrated into the nasal cavity, enough to make people frown. In the room, a large bed shrouded in lilac gauze occupies most of the area. ??The old housekeeper was shaking like chaff, his face was bloodless, as if he had foreseen his own end, he begged. ?Although she said "it''s a pity", in fact, her heart was unmoved. It can be regarded as an alternative protection fee and win-win model. ?But looking at the tragic death of the old butler, Bruno could not help but feel a little chilly in his heart. ?Especially taking advantage of her in turn was a taboo against Duke Nova. He asked carefully: "Then what should I do with Captain Shane, Your Majesty the Duke?" TargetCoral City! ?Outside the door, a handsome man, much younger than the old butler, walked in wearing a butler''s uniform. ??The old housekeeper carefully knocked on an extremely tall solid wood door. ??Although An didn''t know why Xia En could improve so quickly, it undoubtedly showed his great potential. ?His eyesight was far superior to Joey''s, so he was keenly aware of Xia En''s changes. Which ship is it? "lifetime?" There are many pirates named by her with the word "blood" at the beginning, including Wolf Hansen. Yes, the real owner of the Blood Wolf is none other than the governor of Duke IslandDuke Nova! In fact, this can be regarded as an unwritten unspoken rule in the waters near Duke Island. ?For professionals in the secret path of [Knight], the stronger the object of allegiance, the stronger the blessings they receive. Its the Black Swan, and the captain is a young man named Shane. Sir! Give me another chance! Duke Nova was a little surprised. Its Sage, whats the matter? Black Swan? Never heard of it. At present, this strange ability to control the ship... Okay, then, get ready to go to sea! Ann is a loyal but not stupid knight. As if he had killed a mosquito casually, Duke Nova said lazily: "Bruno." ?Bruno knew about the feud between Shane and the old housekeeper and made arrangements in advance, and then took advantage of this opportunity to rise to power. He immediately fell to his knees and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Duke, I have a little conflict with him." Duke Nova sighed: "You have been working here for almost three years, don''t you know... The reason why I keep you is just because you are obedient enough." Duke Nova''s breathing became thicker, with a wave of moisture. As expected of the man I will be loyal to for the rest of my life. ?Bruno held a moment of silence for the strange captain, and then walked into the purple curtain with complicated emotions. No, it was the work of a captain on the island. ?An, however, didn''t care about Joey''s opinion, she just stared at Xia En silently, her eyes under the armor were calm and deep. "no, do not want" From now on, you will take his place. ??The old housekeeper pretended not to hear the strange noise and reported: "Your Excellency, Blood Wolf Hansen has been killed." That kind of little captain is fine no matter what. Please! Please ??Joy''s expression was a little strange. "But I reported this to you just because he violated your majesty! I have absolutely no other selfish motives, really!" ??Although Hansen is not a secret traveler, his rumors are out there. There are not many captains on Duke Island who dare to attack him. An skillfully took out a pen and paper and wrote: "I am always waiting for your instructions." Duke Nova yawned, but then her tone changed slightly: "Sage, do you have any grudge against this captain?" Duke Nova knows both black and white. In addition to the regular Blood Duke, many pirate ships are actually her property. Duke Nova said indifferently: "Just tell the other pirates that there is my scarlet coat of arms on the Black Swan. If you want it, go get it." ?Brunos face was full of joy and he nodded heavily. Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the old housekeeper''s back and his face turned pale. ?The speed was so fast that he didn''t even have time to scream. "Um?" ! But in this regard, the old housekeeper just stared at his toes, his face tensed, for fear of showing any strange expression. He knew that the real test had just begun. The flower language of the steel ball is tolerance and wealth! (End of this chapter) Chapter 26 I couldn’t make Master Xia En fully happy (please recommend! Please add to favorites) Chapter 26 failed to satisfy Lord Xia En (please recommend! Please collect!) Hong Kong! The long sword made of fine steel and the short sword of black stone can be divided at a touch. ?Subsequently, two completely different sword lights flashed across each other, colliding like a gust of wind and rain, and the cold light was heart-stopping. Dang! clang! clang! Finally, with a sword sound like a resting sign, Xia En''s dagger fell on An''s neck. ?With the thickness of his armor, this sword will naturally not cause any damage. ??But if it is a life and death battle, the sword edge will penetrate between the gaps in the armor. An naturally knew this, so he put down his sword and wrote: [I lost. The two of them stared at each other for a while, feeling each other''s confusion. After writing, An''s fingers lightly pressed on the back of the armor''s neck. He has been very depressed on the island these days. Xia En smiled and said: "For a discussion, this level is more than enough." Submarine, start! At this time, the Sea Fish King swayed its huge body, raised its sharp fins, and swam quickly. It seems that it is also the effect of the magic pattern. The entire armor seems to have become much lighter, making it easier for him to move underwater. "Mr. Captain, you are so strong! Moreover, he is much stronger than when you competed with me!" Magic pattern craftsmanship, isnt it amazing? ?He now suspected that this armor was An''s family heirloom, so he refused to leave it for a moment, not even taking off his helmet. After your attributes are improved, the best way to adapt to and become familiar with your own status is through actual combat. The speed bonus is even more obvious on the projected body. Did Mr. Captain actually give in to me at that time? ?Originally, Joey didn''t feel much about An''s arrival on the boat. He only felt that he had a reliable companion. The efficiency is too low! ??Xia En touched his chin. Before going to sea, he specifically asked Bisi about Coral City and got a similar explanation. Mr. Knight, you are so strong! Looking quite ferocious and terrifying. Just as Xia En expected, in this competition with An, he did not fall behind based on his strength alone, and there was a faint tendency to suppress the opponent. Immediately, the magic patterns on the armor glowed, and a tough film stretched from the gaps in the armor, connecting it into a closed jumpsuit. ??If he were not worried about the black stone dagger being damaged in the collision, he would have wanted to fight An for a few more rounds. Some people say that those corals contain strange secret powers, so many salvagers remain on the seabed forever. By chance, there was a school of fish not far from where he was diving. Wellit seems like the attack was a bit too harsh. ?It is three meters long, with scales on its body like hard steel, and sharp barbs on its fins and tail. Oh? Instead of running away, did you come closer to me? Wait, Captain, do you want to go to Coral City to salvage secret treasures? ?These days, employees dont need to draw the pie and eliminate the system for last place, will they all roll up their own business? At this moment, An finally noticed something strange, and her handwriting was a little blurry. As for the dangers under sea water ?Now that we have gone to sea, we naturally have to take a leisurely swim. Continuing to search aimlessly will undoubtedly waste a lot of time. With just a flick of his body, he appeared more than ten meters away, like a ghost under the sea. Beside him, Joey stared blankly at the discussion between the two, feeling amazed. Huh? Seeing this, Xia En was startled: Can you be a salvager? But now, she felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart. At first, these fish schools didnt even notice Xia Ens arrival. An wrote: [I have not been there, but there are many rumors about the Coral City on Duke Island. ?From the moment he saw An''s heavy armor, Shane subconsciously thought that An was unable to swim in the sea just like Joey, so he never considered the possibility of him becoming a salvager. I''m really sorry that An couldn''t make Mr. Xia En happy. ??Although An''s armor was an eye-opener, it''s a good thing that he can take up the position of salvager. Originally I just wanted to eat a few small fish, but I didnt expect an unexpected surprise! I will explain the salvage matter to you when we get to Coral City. Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed by this. Looking at the fish that collapsed into a mist of blood, Xia En felt a little ashamed. There is a projected body here, am I afraid of this? At the same time, the entire fish school felt the danger, immediately became restless, and fled in panic. Under the sea near Duke Island, no valuable ruins can be seen, not even alienated sea beasts. ?Shaan knew that the last time he was able to find a "fresh" shipwreck was purely due to luck. After resting for a while, Xia En asked: "How much do you two know about Coral City? Have you ever been to Coral City?" ??Xia Ens lips curled up into a smile: Tonight, lets have a feast of fish and meat! Some people say that the lush coral colonies are the consequences of the failure of the forbidden technique. Although I didnt go into the sea, the salvagers on the ship looked very frightened when they surfaced. Until Xia En punched out! The turbulent water knocked out the nearest small fish, and the fish that was hit by his fist was directly exploded. Seeing it, Xia En suddenly realized that this big fish was probably the king of this fish school! Only in this way can the order of the fish school be maintained and the fish can be united to fight against the enemy. Finally, An was the first to write: [My armor is actually an extraordinary creation that can be transformed into the form of a diving suit. ?However, even so, he does not intend to change his goals. It is said that there used to be a royal capital called "Shoton Kingdom". The king of the previous era tried to save the royal capital with some forbidden magic, but obviously, he failed. The result is naturally very gratifying. She doesnt want to become a useless crew member to Mr. Captain! ??Xia En would definitely feel weird if he knew what the girl was thinking. Hearing what Xia Endu said, An stopped asking questions, but she was inevitably a little curious in her heart. ?Xia En couldnt help but tremble at the corner of his mouth. As expected In the future, you can cooperate with the projection body. After confirming that the course had not deviated, Xia En let the Black Swan sail steadily while he took out his fishing rod and bench, walked to the bow of the ship, lowered the bait, and set out the line, all in one go! ?Shaen was sitting on the bench, seemingly waiting for the fish to take the bait, but in fact he was thinking silently in his heart. ??However, strangely, after a while, the fish actually calmed down and slowly spread out in all directions, revealing an extraordinarily huge sea fish. ??Without Blood Wolf Hansen''s "helping others", Xia En might not have paid off the debt by now. Are there any other salvagers on board besides me? On the other hand, not to mention that the "Ember Treasure" recorded in the treasure map is in Coral City, Coral City itself is a huge treasure house, waiting for people to discover it. The feel of the projected body is different from that of the main body, so you need to get used to it. That''s why he asked An to have another discussion with him. ??Joy nodded vigorously: "I have also heard these rumors, and in fact, I went to the sea where Coral City is located once when I went to sea." With such a large size, it can only be an alienated sea fish, and there is a high probability that there are secret sea crystals in the body! ?Xia En stepped forward to meet him with high fighting spirit. Then, lets fight! (End of this chapter) Chapter 27 Coral wonders Chapter 27 Coral Wonders Kill the alienated sea bass Get the trophy: fresh sea bass carcass The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? ?After a not-so-difficult battle, the king of the fish school died in Xia En''s hands with hatred, and the rest of the fish school fled in all directions. ?This King Bass is an alienated sea fish on the same level as the alienated saw shark. In the past, Xia En was able to blow off the saw shark''s head with one punch, but now it is no problem to destroy a bass king. ?The only thing that surprised him was that the Bass King also revealed a secret sea crystal with the [Special] suffix. ?It is very similar to the situation when I was a child and used a wooden stick to sweep through ten miles of vegetable fields. Just consume it slowly. From the map, it is not difficult to see. Coral! ?Shane glanced at the description twice and immediately came to a conclusion. Although it is a bit expensive, he thinks it is worth the price. Smart Ann, chose not to think deeply about this issue. ?Those steepled churches, flat roads, neat houses...the remnants of the old era are all covered by an unusually large amount of coral. Peaceful days are always extremely short. Except for the Sea Bass King, there seem to be one or two alienated sea fish in the fish school. After thinking about it for a moment, Xia En decided to absorb it. Judging from the fact that the Sea Bass King was beaten to death by a few punches, the degree of "hardening" of the epidermis was obviously extremely limited. Joey explained: "The captain usually can only catch some weird things, but sometimes he gets lucky and catches huge seafood one after another." ? ? ? An''s expression under the helmet looked at the sea bass that was staring at death. Something weird. The familiar warmth flows through. ?His eyes narrowed: "A big fish is about to take the bait!" But on the current map, there are no less than ten churches. They are all suspected treasure hiding places and need to be investigated one by one. Immediately afterwards, just as Joey said, several more big fish were caught on the boat one after another. The strange thing is that they all seemed to have died of trauma. ?However, the output of this talent shows that the [special] [Secret Sea Crystal] is actually not that rare. ??The captain of the sunken ship has found the location of the [Ember Treasure] before, there is no reason why he cant find it! Start diving? On the deck, Shane held the map of Coral City bought from Duke Island and compared it with the blurry treasure map. Unlock Talent: Hardened Skin ??Or maybe its the wriggling tentacles or the protruding arms and legs Coral City is very large and is divided into upper town and lower town. After a while, the energy was almost exhausted. There is no longer a loan agreement weighing on our heads, and there are sufficient supplies. To be exaggerated... Xia En spent a full 50 silver snake coins to buy it from Bisi. When this ability reaches its peak, maybe you can catch the bullet with your face, right? ??With a "snap" sound, the sea bass hit the deck hard. The sea area where the Coral City is located. These are all experience points for walking, so you cant let go! Besides, during the investigation process, there will definitely be other gains. ?Humbling a word of encouragement to the Black Swan in his mind, Xia En looked at the panel. How does this fish look like it was beaten to death with a fist? ?Unfortunately, the treasure map recording the location of the "Ember Treasure" is too vague. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (13%) I have to say that what An said before, "I didn''t make Lord Xia En happy" was not completely wrong. ?That night, with Joey cooking, three people on the boat enjoyed a delicious seabass dinner. Then take your time. ?Shaan glanced at the map again, memorizing the contents on it, then returned to the captain''s cabin, sat on the captain''s chair, and closed his eyes. Everything you see is colorful coral! They have various shapes, or they are spherical with holes; Or with weird lines like cerebral cortex; ?The upper city area mainly houses important facilities such as colleges, royal castles, and cathedrals, while the lower city area contains factories, residential areas, and commercial streets. ?Shaan hung the mouth of the Sea Bass King on the hook he cast, and then his consciousness returned to his original body on the deck. ?With the blessing of powerful attributes, Xia En swept through schools of fish, flattened crabs on the bottom of the sea, and tore up seaweed. Xiao Hei, you have to grow up quickly and let the enemy see our exciting combination skills in the future! ?Although this is just a guess, Xia En feels it is very possible. What kind of talent will this secret sea crystal bring? ?But in consciousness, Black Swans grateful mood seems to have become clearer? Could it be said that as the level of the ship''s soul increases, the ship''s soul of the Black Swan will also grow up like a human being and have richer emotions? "yes." Only this time, he couldn''t help but feel a little surprised. An Huihui wrote. With its increased speed, the Black Swan arrived at its destination in just three days When competing with his own crew members, it is impossible to make a real killing blow, so Xia En has been holding back his strength until the point is reached. The next moment, Xia En opened his eyes under the sea. To Xia En''s surprise, An didn''t take off his helmet even when eating. He only made a small opening and then used a spoon to transport the food in. ?This scene is quite visually impactful. Shane could just barely make out a church near the landmark it drew. Even the shells on the roadside have to be kicked. Suddenly, under the shocked eyes of An and Joey, a three-meter-long sea bass was taken out of the sea by a fishhook! Like a diseased parasite, it absorbs nutrients from the remains of the entire city. What''s the meaning? ?? But it''s different in the submersible state. Xia En can do everything he can without worrying about exposing his strength, and he can feel the pleasure of breaking free from the cage. Lets say its useful. It seems to be of little use. Lets say its useless. Its a little useful at critical moments. ??Joy whispered to An: "It''s about to start again! Mr. Captain''s great harvest!" Coral City has been submerged for so many years, and groups of seniors have searched for it. This new map was explored with their lives. The whole sea is his hunting ground! Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Colorful corals occupy every corner of the field of vision like a carpet of bacteria. They are stacked on top of each other, and only the outline of the original building can be vaguely seen. A talent that is better than nothing. Quality: inferior The explosion rate is quite high! ?Xia En forcibly comforted himself and turned to look at the fish that had not had time to run away. Xia En was very patient when going to sea this time. Description: You can make part of your skin tough to withstand incoming attacks. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is a very beautiful scenery. But for some reason, Xia En only felt creepy. It seems that under the dead, colorful coral, there is some kind of terrifying malice that exceeds human cognition! (End of this chapter) Chapter 28 The corpse is talking Chapter 28 The corpse is talking This is the Coral City At this moment, Xia En suddenly understood the fearful attitude of many sailors towards this place. ?This sight alone is disgraceful enough, and it is not an easy job to perform dangerous salvage operations among those corals. ?Its no wonder that there are still a large number of secret treasures that have not been discovered in the Coral City. ?These weird corals undoubtedly form a natural protective umbrella, blocking the exploration of outsiders. But he was surprised, and Xia En was not deterred by it. next moment! ??The monk''s body also suddenly underwent strange changes. It seems like its just a sandbag with a thicker health bar. Fistes, legs, elbows, knees...any part of the body became Shane''s weapon, turning into strong winds and rain to hit the coral zombie''s body. Kill the alienated coral zombies But the monk in front of me could keep his body from rotting. It was really a miracle! Could it be said that this master has tempered his body to the point where it is indestructible? Part of the coral on its surface collapsed, but in the blink of an eye, more deformed coral grew. Xia En simply did not dodge or evade, and directly engaged in the most primitive fight with the coral zombie. ??Although the outside of the window was also covered with a layer of coral, this was not a problem for Xia En. He directly worked a miracle with his hands, tearing outwards with both hands, breaking the coral in half. The sea is coming! He is coming too! His Majesty the King is crazy, His Majesty the Pope is dead, the gods... the gods are a lie! No one can save us... Xia En said to himself, then swung his arms and swam quickly. ?The layout of this room is simple and clean, with only a bed and a cushion. The so-called "minimalism" is nothing more than this. Coral polyp corpse? What a weird name Immediately, more corals were rushing to burst his skin and expose it to the sea water. In just a moment, the lifeless corpse expanded several times, and its surface seemed to be covered with a layer of distorted coral armor. On the contrary, a desire to explore and conquer emerged in his heart, like the urge to overcome each level in a game and pass it perfectly. He vaguely felt that this "blood" was a little strange, but he couldn''t put it into words for the moment. What a powerful force! Master, Im offended! Suddenly, the monk suddenly opened his eyes! ??The peaceful expression on that face collapsed in an instant, and was replaced by an indescribable terror and despair. ?After a series of frenzied murmurs, the monk''s voice suddenly became rapid and high-pitched, and he screamed hoarsely. ?Xia Ens heart skipped a beat. ??Xia En took a closer look and found that it was not a church, but an ancient black tower. ?Xia En endured the discomfort and looked down at the area below him. ?Shaan pulled his fist out of the monk''s chest and sighed. ?Xia En looked closely and saw a male corpse sitting cross-legged on the cushion. Not long after, Xia En found the window on the upper floor of the tower. On earth, coral polyps certainly do not have the ability to be parasitic. Pushing open the half-opened window, Xia En swam into the tower. Quality: inferior Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. After upgrading the Black Swan''s firepower attribute, this was the first enemy that was evenly matched with him in terms of strength. But in this vast sea of ??extraordinary pollution, anything can happen. Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed Some lavender blood spread in the sea water. What the hell? It doesnt look like an ordinary persons bedroom, but more like the residence of an ascetic monk. Compared with the initial speed at which the coral emerged from the body surface, the recovery speed of the coral zombie after being injured is significantly slower. ?He was wearing monk''s robes, his head was spotless, his eyes were closed, his expression was peaceful, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep. "immortal?" ?Shane simply went looking for the churchs iconic spire structure. ?Shaan touched his chin and thought: "Does it mean... a corpse parasitized by coral polyps?" ?However, what surprised Xia En was not the man''s identity as a monk, but that his body was intact without any trace of decay! ??Had it not been for Xia En not detecting any vitality in him, he would have even felt that he was a living person. If you want to blame...just blame these corals for not knowing what to do! ?Perhaps he has the adventurous gene in his body? The first investigation of Coral City has officially begun! ??This punch is not without damage to the Coral Zombie. ?He opened his mouth, and a sound that did not exist in reality penetrated directly through the sea water and sounded in Xia En''s brain. ?Xia En is trying to figure things out. In this small room, there is almost no room to hide. ?Xia En frowned slightly. Ship Soul Power -5! Punch to the flesh, hearty! ?Although the coral zombies are not bad in strength and recovery, they have been dead for a long time and their movements are stiff and slow. Naturally, they are no match for Xia En. Please step over my corpse and move forward! boom! ?Xia En met him with a backhand punch. Type: Material Coupled with the bright colors, patients with trypophobia are afraid of fainting on the spot. ?Xia En observed for a moment and quickly rejected this conjecture. The two fists collided, the water flow shook violently, and even the tall tower swayed slightly. Failed, we failed! The road is impassable! ?This is the first time he has seen such an evil and weird thing! ??? Before Xia En could think more, the "coral zombie" in front of him punched him menacingly. ?Due to the coverage of coral, many buildings are difficult to distinguish, and it is impossible to tell the difference between the upper city and the lower city. You must know that in seawater rich in microorganisms, corpses decompose faster. As he got closer, the strange and strange features of the coral appeared more clearly in front of Xia En''s eyes, such as branch-like branching structures, soft-bodied tentacles floating in the sea water, and dense herpes zoster. Soon, in a piece of low coral, he saw a protrusion that stood out from the crowd. After a while, there were cracks on the walls and floor of the room, and the bed was torn into pieces, as if it had been destroyed by two giant beasts. ?Colorful and ugly corals quickly emerged from his eye sockets, mouth, and ear holes, growing together at an extraordinary speed. With the idea of ????"Come here, come here", he planned to enter the tower to search for something. Get loot: Broken Coral Thinking of this, Xia En no longer worried, stepped **** the ground with his legs, and quickly approached, fighting the coral zombies in close combat. The original appearance of the monk cannot be seen at all. Suddenly, a few lines of information appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Description: Coral is the dead corpse of countless coral polyps. New coral polyps will reproduce on the old corpses, generation after generation, and the cycle continues. Subsequently, another text appeared. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? (End of this chapter) Chapter 29 A treasure for leveling up (please follow up on Tuesday!) Chapter 29: A Treasure for Leveling (please read it on Tuesday!) "ah?" Xia En was startled when he saw this line of prompts. Since when can you kill people and explode the secret sea crystals? ??Is there such a good thing? But when he thought about it, Xia En knew that he had misunderstood. The "corpse" in this prompt obviously did not refer to the monk, but to the coral polyps that parasitized in the monk''s body. As a type of marine life, it is reasonable for [Secret Sea Crystal] to exist in the body of alienated coral polyps, right? "absorb!" Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (18%) After thinking for a while, Shane discovered the blind spot. However, the monk seemed to have said something before coralization The pope of the Hui religion has a status similar to that of the king, which shows his strong influence. ?This seems to be a scripture that a certain monk carried with him. Because the monk was killed, it was counted as Xia En''s loot. The second effect of reducing the loss of ship soul power is also very practical, and can increase the submersion time in disguise. What does this mean? Strange...Why do I feel familiar? The name of the **** they worship is ?This Hui sect seems to be an ancient and mysterious sect, and it was also the mainstream belief in the Shoton Kingdom at that time. Submarine is over! ??But this is destined to be a question without an answer. Secondly, for Xia En now, without the pressure of debt, the priority of grinding monsters and leveling is far higher than making money. Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Not to mention the salvagers who had died in the sea over the years, the number of former aborigines in the royal capital was an extremely huge number. Huh? Theres actually some extra gains? By the same token, Xia En doesnt value the [Ember Treasure], but he wants to increase his strength to the current limit and then explore this treasure. For ordinary salvagers, the Coral City is a treacherous sea area full of dangers and where death may occur at any time. His submersible this time, he barely searched for the supplies in the black tower. 2.Stinky monk''s robes After clarifying his thoughts, Xia En determined his goal. The scriptures record the teachings and history of "Hui Religion". ??It would be great if you could investigate suspicious treasure hiding places while leveling up. ? Even so, they provide 1% experience value. Having power, are you still worried about not being able to make money? With this talent, it is no exaggeration to say that it is equivalent to having an extra life at a critical moment! Xia En shook his head to dispel the strange feeling in his heart, and said to himself: "It should be some other name like the sun god, the **** of light, etc., right?" "On the other hand, if you want to find this kind of elite monster, you have to go to places where strong people may have gathered before being submerged." "Academies in the upper city, royal castles and other areas are good choices." It is said that in ancient times, there were people with secret paths who understood the secret of rebirth. They could be reborn by dropping blood, and they were said to be immortal. Xia En originally regarded this Hui Jiao scripture as recreational reading and did not continue to think deeply about it. ?Looking over it casually, Xia En had a strange expression. Unlock talent: High-speed regeneration 3.Huijiao Classics Could it be that...all the people who died in Coral City will become such monsters? Are gods a hoax? Xia En originally thought that it would be soaked by the sea water, but when he opened it, he found that the pages of this book seemed to be made of some kind of special leather. Sitting on the captain''s chair, Shane opened his eyes and looked at the prompts on the panel with some surprise. ?This search actually led him to find two more coral monsters downstairs. Ok, its shipped! ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. ??There is no ship''s doctor on the Black Swan, and the medical level on most islands is worrisome. If you are injured and cannot be treated in time, the situation will become extremely troublesome. The secrets of the past have been submerged under this sea along with the royal capital of the Shuton Kingdom. ?But when he tried to remember, his brain seemed to have activated its self-protection mechanism, and he felt severe pain and a feeling of panic, making it impossible for him to continue thinking. Wait, this doesnt necessarily seem like a bad thing? You who have gained this ability, maybe you can get a glimpse of it, right? At this time, Xia En''s eyes skipped the first two garbage options and directly chose the third one. Others are just miscellaneous fish and monsters. At this time, in the Coral City, there may be countless coral monsters crawling and wandering in the dark. After being soaked in sea water for so many years, it is still intact. ifier There are two main reasons. Lord of billions of radiances! The next moment, a wet book appeared in his hands. Its just that the strength of these two is far inferior to the coral monster transformed by the monk. ?Shaan felt as if he had heard this name somewhere. What he wanted most was the regeneration ability of this coral monster. ?Xia En showed a satisfied smile. But why did he suddenly become parasitized by coral polyps and become like this? Looking at the two corpses in front of him, Xia En guessed: "The strength of the coral monster is probably related to the strength of the parasitized person during his lifetime." It was a well-deserved death. "Strong" +1! ??The coral polyp corpse transformed by the monk was not bad at all, and it took him a lot of effort to kill it. The despair and fear the monk showed when he was awake left a deep impression on Sean. Please choose your trophy! ??In this high tower, the monk at the top is obviously the strongest here, so the transformed monsters are also the most difficult to deal with. But for Xia En, this is clearly a feng shui treasure land for monster spawning and leveling up! "Or is it that he has been parasitized for a long time, and it was just my arrival that broke the balance in his body?" Unfortunately, he consumed too much of the ship''s soul power in the battle with the monks, and ended his submersible voyage without having time to explore other buildings. ?Stepping out of the captain''s cabin, Xia En was just trying to kill some boring garbage time by fishing. Description: Your cell activity has been improved, your self-healing ability has been greatly enhanced, and the loss rate of the ship''s soul power has been slightly reduced. ?After thinking about this, Xia En instantly became more motivated, his eyes lit up, and he began to search for traces of the coral monster in the tower. Am I really a genius? In comparison, the [sturdiness] attribute brought by absorbing the secret sea crystals has become secondary. It can be said to be a little masterpiece. As expected of an elite monster, the explosion rate is high. ?Although Xia En has a projection body, there is still a possibility of his body being injured in the ever-changing sea. At this time, Xia En thought of a possibility. ?Faced with Xia En''s powerful stats, he was like paper, breaking into pieces at the first touch, without the need for a second move. 1.Broken coral The more coral monsters, the more secret sea crystals he can get! Quality: inferior First of all, this spire tower is obviously the residence of some ascetic monks, and there is nothing good about it at all. ??Moreover, these coral monsters are all the same creature, and can be superimposed to enhance the talent of [High-speed Regeneration]. ?Suddenly, Joey hurried over from the deck, his face full of panic. Mr. Captain, its not good! (End of this chapter) Chapter 30 【Secret Road】 Chapter 30 [The Secret Road] Dont panic first, tell me slowly, what happened? ?Shaan was not infected by Joey''s panic and asked calmly. ?Seeing Xia En, Joey seemed to have found a backbone, gradually calmed down and said. Yes...its Mr. Knight! An? Whats wrong with him? "I, I can''t tell. In short, his state is very strange. You will know when you come over and take a look!" In fact, more mystics have gone far enough in this profession and were inspired by the [Mystic Sea], so they began to advance. "Mr. Knight has been maintaining this posture since just now, and he has no response even when called." Unexpectedly, An on his own ship was the first to enter the promotion ritual. ?Xia En quickly gave up this guess and continued to observe An''s condition carefully. ??With the improvement of his physical fitness, Xia En''s senses have actually become sharper. Turning it over, I saw lines of code-like words written on it. Thank you both for your protection! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Boom! With the sound of his bones cracking, An''s body seemed to have grown a little taller, his breath became thicker, and there were vague mysterious changes taking place in him. Not far away, An, wearing armor, stood upright, like a statue made of fine steel, motionless. The so-called [Secret Sea] is a space full of secrets and spirituality, which does not exist in any corner of reality. Endless mysteries and knowledge are contained in it. ?An Gang moved his body a few times and found two people standing next to him. He couldn''t help but froze on the spot. ??Although Xia En thought this was strange, when he thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable. After swearing allegiance to himself, he fulfilled the hidden requirements of the [Knight] Secret Path. With accumulated experience, he broke through to the first-level Secret Path in just a few days. ?Shaan suddenly remembered some information in his memory and asked Joey again. ?Shaan also has his own guess about this. At this time, An''s promotion process just confirmed Xia En''s conjecture. ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. Even through the armor, Xia En could notice that he was stronger than before! Fell asleep? No, no, even An wouldnt sleep standing on the deck, right? Not long ago, I was writing down the commandments of knights silently, and at the same time recalling your heroic appearance in my heart. ??Dan''an''s way of silent writing is a bit too strange. At this time, An seemed to be in some kind of mysterious and mysterious state. Thats true, but... Is thisthe commandments of chivalry? Some people say that the "Secret Sea" is the reflection of this boundless ocean in the starry sky, and is the residence of human souls after death. Master Captain, I have passed the promotion ritual and officially become a first-level "Knight"! I can be successfully promoted, perhaps thanks to you, sir. ??The ritual contents of each secret path are different, but they have a common premise He learned after asking Bisi. sure. ?Joy let out a low exclamation. The rumors about the secret travelers have always been the hottest topic on Duke Island, so even she has heard some of the secrets. Then, I came to a completely unfamiliar island and fought with a giant beast. After defeating it, my consciousness returned. But after all, he is not a true secret seeker, and there is no way to verify it. ?Joy thought for a while and said, "Mr. Knight seems to be writing something silently? And he looks very serious." ?His physical body is still here, but his soul seems to be wandering far away, to a mysterious realm beyond the real dimension. What was An doing before this? As Xia En spoke, he got close to An''s armor and listened to the sounds inside. ??At the same time that this idea came to his mind, several lines of information flashed in front of Xia En''s eyes. Hearing this, Shane immediately followed Joey to the deck without thinking. But I heard people say that before promotion, you need to take expensive potions. Somewhere, he had a strange feeling ?Shaan patted Ann on the shoulder, feeling happy for him. How could someone like the original Mystics know which potion is suitable for them? As soon as he thought about it, he remembered the reason why the two of them were staying by his side, and he quickly picked up the cardboard and wrote. He had heard that traditional knights would recite the knight''s precepts to keep their hearts firm. Vaguely, I heard a voice that seemed to be inviting me. I must fulfill my duties as a knight. It is of course a good thing to make your own sailors stronger. In Xia En''s opinion, no matter what auxiliary means it is, it is just to enhance the affinity with [Secret Sea], making it easier to enter the promotion state. Is it possible that magic potions are not necessary for promotion? An has adhered to the spirit of chivalry for so many years, but has never been able to be promoted. It is most likely that he lacks an object of loyalty. It doesnt look like hes injured, it looks like hes just... He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Joy, don''t worry. He is probably in the [Promotion Ritual] of the [Knight] secret path, which is a good thing." He heard steady breathing and heartbeat, which showed that An''s vital signs were very stable and there was no concern for her life. Xia En asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what was the specific process of your promotion? Can you tell me about it?" Dont be impatient yet. Promotion ritual?! Its okay, just succeed in getting promoted. "Um?" Although they have only known each other for a short time, she has already regarded this gentleman knight as a companion. I just made a small contribution. ?If I have to say it, it is somewhat similar to the state of Xia En entering [Deep Sea Diving]. Although there are different opinions, one thing is generally accepted. Hasnt it been promoted to a very high level? ??However, through this, Xia En also determined the strange state that Ann fell into. ??Joy couldn''t help but asked with some confusion: "Mr. Knight, you were just writing silently..." According to legend, if you want to become a mystic, you must pass the promotion ritual. Hearing this, An''s eyes became more respectful, and he thought to himself: "He is generous and humble, and he is worthy of being a captain." Xia En said frankly: "It''s mainly the result of your own efforts." Wait a minute, this situation could be... ?At this moment, the sound of stale breath came from under the armor. ??Joy looked at An worriedly. Those who are promoted need to sink their minds into the [Secret Sea] before they can officially start the ritual! According to some sailors who failed in promotion. Only by passing the test of the [Secret Sea], the promotion ritual can be considered a success. Initially, when Xia En heard this information, he naturally connected it with his own [Eye of the Secret Sea]. Xia En glanced around and quickly found a piece of cardboard at An''s feet. You have the allegiance of a first-level "Knight"! Acquire the status "Knight''s Protection"! (End of this chapter) Chapter 31 Weird spider shadow Chapter 31 Weird Spider Shadow Knight''s Guard Quality: Rare Type: Status Description: When your knight is nearby, your mental resistance and toughness are slightly improved, and the probability of falling into a negative state is reduced. Part of the damage you suffer will be transferred to the knight in a special form. A knight''s oath is as heavy as a thousand stones. This description is Knights Oath, right? Xia Ens brain was buzzing and he was dizzy. ?Shaan was a little disappointed. You must have found the palace directly by accident, right? There seems to be a malicious gaze peering at me from the dark. I found a church by accident, which happened to be the suspicious location of [Ember Treasure]. He swam inward carefully for a while, but suddenly a slight chill ran down his spine. ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. ?Tall domes, arched structures one after another, dirty and blurry murals on the walls, and...the faceless statue of the **** standing in the atrium. With this thought in mind, Xia En slowly swam into the door. After all, ordinary residents in Xiacheng District cannot afford to live in such houses. Not only that, the decaying door opened inward, revealing the private interior to Sean''s eyes without any hindrance. The face on the abdomen even showed expressions of severe pain and panic. ?However, Xia En still planned to go in and find out. Heads, arms or thighs... various human torsos, like stacked blocks, built up the spider as a whole, and the body parts miraculously remained without decay. The key is that he got a new ability without doing anything. Other salvagers'' targets are gold and silver treasures, while their own target is coral monsters. Xia En didn''t think that these predecessors would be kind enough to clean up all the coral monsters inside. ?However, no matter how fast the regeneration is, there will still be a gap. In an instant, there seemed to be countless steel needles piercing Xia En''s mind. I have to say that Xia En was amazed by the vastness of this city. You cant see the edge at a glance. It is indeed the capital of a kingdom! ?Xia En held his breath and held the hard iron hook tightly, waiting for the coral spider to approach. To be honest, he is just an ordinary person and does not have the power of the Mystic Pathfinder. If you look closely at its body, you can discover its shocking inner structure. boom! Large expanses of coral fragmented. In just a moment, the distance between one person and one spider was less than three meters. Xia En raised his head suddenly. ?Xia En felt that An''s aura had obviously strengthened a lot, and he couldn''t help but feel a little envious in his heart. ?Over the years, batches of salvage ships have come to the Coral City one after another, and there are always some lucky ones who can take away the treasures here. I saw the colorful "frescoes" on the dome come to life, with weird squirming bodies, climbing down the wall at extremely fast speeds! ??Moreover, if Xia En guessed correctly, this status will also increase as An''s level increases, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. ? He ??didn''t think of it yesterday. The place with more high-rise buildings and closer to the center should be the upper city of the royal capital. It''s a pity that the invitation to promotion ritual is mysterious and mysterious, and it is hard to come by. The distracting thoughts in his mind only flashed for a moment. Xia En did not hesitate. Taking advantage of the spider''s scream and stiffness, he picked up a huge iron hook and smashed it into its relatively fragile abdomen. Has someone already taken the lead? When he swam under the building, he found that the coral at the gate was very sparse, as if it had been cleaned recently. ?The whole spider looks like a poor-quality creation that a puppeteer randomly pieced together from leftover materials. ?It reduces damage and increases resistance, which is a life-saving skill in some high-pressure environments! The number of submersibles had just been refreshed, and Xia En could not wait to enter the projection state. Shaans lips curved into a smile. But speaking of it, my secret promotion should also be put on the agenda. ?This sound is already an extraordinary spiritual attack, ignoring the barrier of the sea water and reaching directly into the ears. Suddenly, the flow of water waves came from above. C After a brief feeling of weightlessness, what caught my eyes was the familiar sea water and corals. Roar! ! ??The human face located in the spider''s abdomen suddenly let out a strange scream. Although in the eyes of the two crew members, he has long been a professional in the secret path of [Captain]. "coming!" Only by obtaining the magic potion that assists promotion can the probability of entering the promotion ritual be increased. "But whether you can beat it or not, you have to fight it to know." ?With the faint light coming through the gaps, he was able to see clearly the interior of the building. palace? Just by being in it, you can feel a majestic, solemn and dignified atmosphere. ?It was an upside-down, huge, terrifying spider-like creature. There is evil and weirdness everywhere. But at the same time, more corals are regenerated. It doesnt hurt no matter what you think about! the next day. ?This time, he also brought a useful large iron hook as a tool and weapon for exploration. But suddenly, a cool feeling flowed into his mind, making him wake up quickly. ?Shaan''s eyes twitched, thinking that this thing was a bit like the "Awesome, I gradually understand everything" emoticon. He floats high, looking for areas with dense high-rise buildings. With yesterday''s experience, Xia En has become somewhat resistant to this disheartening sight. The height of this coral is obviously higher than other areas. Or is it the protective effect of the Storm Goddess Statue? The coral spider is huge in size, and correspondingly, its steps are also surprisingly large and it moves extremely fast. ??If he could become a true Mystic Pathfinder, Xia En''s strength would definitely reach a higher level. In the process, Xia En was able to see the whole monster clearly. Like the polyp corpse transformed by the monk, its body is covered with strangely shaped corals. He possesses power that far exceeds that of ordinary people, purely due to the blessing brought by the "Captain''s Majesty". Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed. He looked around, but there was no sign of the coral monster. the reason is simple. ?It makes perfect sense that a striking building like this should be explored. But ones own family knows their own affairs. Shaan is complaining, but he has to admit that this state is actually very practical. Obviously, this is not a palace, but a church! It seems that my luck is not too bad. Is this the mental resistance brought by [Knights Protection]? Its not difficult to see when you get closer. ?Xia En felt fierce in his heart and swung the iron hook again, hitting the spider''s abdomen one after another. After searching for a moment, Xia En quickly located an area that looked like a high-rise building and quickly swam over. ??A curved vault can be vaguely seen underneath, like some kind of Western palace-style building. The little thing looks so unique. ?Such a monster, just seeing it from a distance is frightening. But the coral spiders obviously dont sit still and wait for death. ?It exerted all its strength and locked Xia En''s body firmly with its many limbs. Immediately afterwards, a pair of sharp coral fangs protruded from the front claws composed of human arms, and suddenly stabbed downwards! (End of this chapter) Chapter 32 Am I so terrible? Chapter 32 Am I so terrible? simultaneously! The fangs pierced the body, and strange poison immediately began to be injected. Rather than a look of panic, Xia En''s face showed a faint smile. Because, this is exactly the trap he prepared for the coral spider! For ordinary creatures, toxins are undoubtedly a dangerous and fatal method. Once poisoned on the seabed, they can only wait for death. ?However, although Xia En''s projected body has various senses, it is not flesh and blood at all. In other words, this kind of poison that targets the body is ineffective on him! This is the confidence that the mechanism gives me! ?Furthermore, when the coral spider injects toxin, it also exposes its most vulnerable part to Sean. ?Xia Ens eyes narrowed, and he used both arms to break free from the spiders limbs. The two siblings thought they were going to starve to death here, but suddenly they saw an uninvited guest coming. In an instant, the facial features of the human face in the spider''s abdomen were distorted, and it screamed in pain. They are the residents of this coral city. But the battle between the two monsters was too fierce. ?This hiding lasted for two days and two nights! ??The food they brought with them has long been eaten, and there is no rescue from the adults of the tribe. Its over, who won? ?Two young eyes were watching the battle between monsters with fear. It was not that the two siblings did not want to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the church. Earlier, he was only vaguely aware of the prying eyes, and thought it was a hidden coral monster, so he came to the small room to check it out. Is it a new monster? Wait, he is not contaminated? Their tribe has the ability to communicate in sea water. Hela looked hard at the center of the murky sea water and vaguely saw a figure standing up on the corpse under his feet. Ship Soul Power -1! A corner of the church. at the same time. ?But this time, Xia En was on guard, and his brain was only dazed for a moment before he immediately woke up. The owners of the eyes are a pair of siblings. Hela was secretly frightened. ?Hila was horrified when she thought of this possibility. Look at the gill-like organs on both sides of their cheeks, the smooth scales on part of their skin, and the protruding fins on their backs. After a moment, Xia En looked at the two siblings who looked dazed and pale in front of him, with a strange expression. Am I so terrible? The new monster is going to lose. Hela looked at the battle in the field and whispered: "It is only a matter of time before you are poisoned by the coral toxins of the [Polluter] and assimilated by the pollution." Helas heart was pounding, and her throat felt extremely dry. Of course, Xia En would not miss such an opportunity, and he was furious. He let the spider''s limbs fall on him without any intention of letting go. ?Suddenly, a black and white eye appeared in the crack of the door! Soon, the shadow monster seemed to have gotten something it wanted, showing satisfaction. at this time. ?It is not difficult to guess that most of these jabbering words are begging for mercy. ?In the eyes of the two of them, it was a vague and strange dark phantom. ??And this is an "encrypted call" that cannot be understood by outsiders or [polluters]. ?Originally, this was just an ordinary outing for food, but he accidentally entered this dangerous church. She calmed down and carefully looked outside the crack of the door again, but the shadow was nowhere to be seen. I dont know if its Helas illusion. Gravel, sawdust, and sand mixed together to form a turbulent and turbid water, surging around the church. But at this time, she did not dare to make any more noise. She only dared to carefully observe the shadow not far away through the gap in front of her eyes. ??Although he couldn''t hear clearly what the two of them were saying, the density of bubbles spitting out of their mouths, the trembling bodies hugging each other, and the extremely frightened expressions... Ship Soul Power -3! He barely had a human form. Everything along the way seemed extremely fragile in front of their huge strength. ??A human-shaped shadow with a dark body and blurred facial features was watching her outside the door. Ship Soul Power -2! ?Just the aftermath of the battle made the siblings stay away. They did not dare to step out of the hiding corner for fear of being affected. Could it be said that He swallowed [the polluter]? ?Brother Nate nodded: "However, if He is contaminated, it will become more terrifying, right?" ?Many limbs danced and rolled wildly, trying to shake off Xia En, who was nailed to it. ?After discovering the [Polluter] on the dome, her sister Hela decisively found a small room to hide. But when anyone saw Him for the first time, they would never think of Him as a living person. Their identities are also clear at a glance After getting that thing, the color of the shadow monster became deeper and darker? The breath has become stronger? Its just that because He was facing away from her, Hela couldnt see clearly what He had done. ?Hila watched as the turbid seawater gradually returned to clarity, while the shadow monster was searching for something on the [Polluter]''s body. You have to return to the clan quickly and tell the clan leader that there is another monster in the sea. ?She breathed a sigh of relief, and her heartbeat gradually slowed down. "Help! Woohoo! Mom..." Then, he thrust the thick, dark iron hook straight into the mouthparts of the coral spider! simultaneously! The dirty purple blood spread. And the shadow in front of him actually swallowed the [Polluter]! ? Thinking about it, the other party has already left. ?The figures of one person and one spider kept rolling and colliding, fighting from one end of the church to the other. As a price, prompts flashed on the panel one after another. ??The decayed benches were shattered one after another, and the walls and stone pillars were rustling. Even the statue in the center seemed unable to bear to witness such a scene, with cracks appearing on its face. ?Who would have thought that we would catch two big men alive! But she still protected her young brother in her arms and begged: "Please, if you want to eat, just eat me and let my brother go..." The battlefield suddenly became quiet. The two monsters stood still. Polluteris the natural enemy of their clan, with very strange characteristics, and the ability to pollute, assimilate, and annex. Dont eat me! My meat is not delicious! Xia En was a little confused about the two people''s reactions. Your attitude is already very kind, right? The movements are also very gentle! To be honest, Xia En didnt expect to meet a living human being here. He gritted his teeth and violently stirred the iron hook that was inserted into the spider''s body. The internal tissues were messed up, causing the coral spider to struggle even more crazily. We have to escape quickly. Hela was muttering to herself, and suddenly she saw that the hall outside the door had turned into deep darkness, and she couldn''t see clearly what was outside even though she tried hard. No matter what, as long as we wait for Him to leave, my brother and I will be safe. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! To the brother and sister''s delight, this new humanoid monster was quickly discovered by the [Polluter] in the church, and the battle began within three seconds of meeting. She was feeling a little confused. Sensing Xia En''s gaze, Hela''s body trembled suddenly. They are the sea tribe living in the Coral City! Recommendations please! Please collect! ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 33 【Hui Jiao Amulet】 Chapter 33 [Hui Jiao Amulet] Hai tribe. As the name suggests, they are a group of people living in seawater, but in this world, they are more often used to specifically refer to humans living in seawater. The existing sea tribes are mainly divided into two categories. ? ?One type is the undersea human race before the "Great Flood", called the "Original Sea Race", which is a natural fantasy race like elves and dwarves. The other type is the sea tribe transformed into one after another. The mystics of the last era made many attempts to preserve the fire of civilization. He simply turned around and walked towards the coral spider''s body. But correspondingly, the reward for killing it is also extremely generous. ??If the previous monks were elite monsters, then this weird spider can be called a small BOSS. Talent: High-speed regeneration (inferior) (ordinary)! In the final analysis, they just accidentally bumped into the scene of themselves fighting monsters. Could it be that I misunderstood him? ?But this is not difficult to solve. At worst, Xia En will only wear it when fighting and put it away at ordinary times. The damage value is based on the user''s "mysterious" attribute, special attack against ghost, evil, and demon enemies. ?These people were once priests and believers in this church, but they failed to escape when the disaster struck. Instead, they were polluted and turned into coral monsters. Suddenly, something surprising happened to him. Glow, that enemy is worth fighting! Its a bit like the nannys Holy Light spell. I wonder what the damage is like? ?Shaan held the amulet and tried to focus on it. "Um?" Hela opened her eyes slightly and couldn''t believe it for a moment. Description: A personal talisman of a priest of Hui Cult, which once attracted the gaze of the Lord of Hui for a moment. Let me try it out. In the next period of time, he will continue to fight monsters and upgrade in the Coral City. It is not a bad thing to maintain a good relationship with these indigenous people. There seemed to be an incomprehensible whisper lingering in my ears. Type: Relic He probably guessed the truth behind this strange spider. Xia En didn''t care about the siblings at all, nor did he care what she said. Since the description says "ignoring the environment", it can obviously also be used in seawater. Looking at his back, Hela felt a little complicated. ?Behind that twisted human face, there was a small golden amulet painted with strange patterns. Its just that if you want to obtain and study the blood of the Sea Clan, you must have enough materials. It also directly improves the quality of [High-speed Regeneration] by another level! The speed at which the ship''s soul power is depleted has been visibly slowed down a lot. Note: After wearing the amulet, it is normal to occasionally hear mysterious murmurs and whispers, and see unknown visions. However, please do not use this amulet when you are in a poor mental state. In this light, the coral on the surface of the spider corpse under my feet suddenly melted as quickly as ice and snow in spring. ??When carrying the amulet, it will increase the "mysterious" attribute by 2 points, and gain a small increase in radiance and fire resistance. ?The light group was only the size of a basketball, but it was extremely bright and illuminated the entire church. ?Thinking of this, Xia En waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to leave. ??It also comes with an active skill that looks good. ?However, if he finally had a chance to escape, Hela would not miss it. ?Xia En was a little surprised. Huijiao Talisman This also caused an irresolvable blood feud between the [Original Sea Tribe] and humans. ??Coral Spider''s various attributes are on par with Xia En''s, as well as its huge size and powerful self-healing ability. ?Xia En was thinking so. Even some [original sea tribes] were forced to migrate to the deep sea. Are you willing to let us go? But what makes Xia En curious is. Xia En couldn''t understand her words, but he could probably guess what the little girl was surprised about. ?However, Coral City still barely belongs to the category of shallow sea, and the sea people here are usually the ethnic groups that were transformed into acquired ones. ?This is the first time he has obtained a [precious] quality relic, and its effect is indeed worthy of the word "precious". ?The corpse pieces quickly decayed, disintegrated, and turned into undetectable dust. When using mental power to activate the talisman, you can ignore the environment and summon a dazzling light to dispel your own negative status, restore your physical strength, and cause light damage at the same time. ?Being in the radiance, Xia En only felt that his body was warm and very comfortable. ? And this Hui Cult amulet carries the aura of a god, making them rush to grab it. Black Swan "Mysterious" +2! their souls were purified by the radiance? It took a lot of effort to kill this guy. For those who have no grievances and no enmity, this cannot be the "way to death". ??If Xia En hadn''t seized the opportunity, sold a flaw, and invited you to enter the urn, it''s really hard to say who would lose and who would win. At this time, Xia En thought for a moment and decided to let the two siblings go. He just absorbed the secret sea crystal and didn''t have time to seriously touch the corpse. After observing closely now, Hela has discovered that Xia En is somewhat different from the inhuman monster she expected. ?The only shortcoming is probably the side effects of gibbering and hallucinations in the notes. Sean speculated that the reason why this coral spider is so difficult to deal with is that it is actually the product of multiple coral polyp corpses devouring each other and merging. Therefore, the secret sea crystals in the body are several times that of ordinary coral monsters. Kind sir, may the Lord of Radiance protect you. Directly increase attributes and resistance. Good stuff! But before melting, the expressions on those people''s faces actually became calm and peaceful, vaguely carrying a holy temperament. Its secret sea crystal not only provides a full 10% experience, but also increases the attributes of the ship. The corners of Xia En''s mouth raised slightly. One of them is taboo racial transformation! Integrating the blood of the Sea Clan into the bodies of ordinary humans, giving them the ability to live underwater, is also a way to pursue the continuation of the race. Vaguely, his consciousness seemed to come into contact with a warm and bright presence. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (30%) ?Quality: Rare After whispering these words, Hela immediately pulled her brother and swam out of the church door without looking back. What exactly is it that attracts them to devour each other, so that they blend into such a strange posture? ?Faced with the imminent crisis, some Mysterians took extreme measures, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of [Original Sea Tribes]. Soon, Xia En found the answer in the body of the coral spider. When Xia En opened his eyes again, a dazzling light group floated in front of him. Black Swan "Sturdiness" +1! At this time, Xia En was concentrating on dismantling the corpse of the coral spider. ?Looking closely, one can still see the human facial features, but they appear blurry, as if separated by a hazy veil. Actually, he just looks a little scary, but is essentially a good person? In the end, everyone swallowed each other, combined, and turned into weird spiders. Now, as the talisman blooms, they are freed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 34 Speedrun Church Copy Chapter 34: Speeding through the Church Dungeon It is true. ?There are still many loopholes in this conjecture. For example, why do people turn into coral monsters? ??If the Lord of Radiance is really a kind and holy god, why did the monk say, "The **** is a hoax?" But the problem is. ?Shaan is not an archaeologist who explores history, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it. ?However, this experiment gave him a big surprise ?Xia En picked up the secret sea crystal and scratched his cheek with a strange expression. It seems that this thing must be used with caution in the future. Xia En opened his eyes again and was already in the captain''s cabin. ??This is a nun with a broad mind, and her appearance remains as beautiful as she was in life. God does not love the world. 2. Broken priest uniform Men, what can you do if it doesnt last? It is worth mentioning that, for some unknown reason, the secret sea crystals in the Coral City provide extremely rich mysterious attributes. ?Although they are not as powerful as coral spiders, they are still more difficult to deal with than ordinary fish monsters. 1.Broken coral ?He calmed down and looked around, but couldn''t see the source of the sound. But, sister, its useless for you to tell me this! Assad wanted to meet him both emotionally and rationally. Finally, Xia En looked at the golden amulet in his hand and thought to himself. No wise patriarch would allow such unstable factors to appear in his territory. Coral City. 3.Broken nun''s dirty clothes Talents: Deep Sea Diving; Captain''s Majesty; Seawater Control; Hardened Skin; High-speed Regeneration I dont know who I am, I dont know where I am, I only know that I am going to kill people! ?This talent has the effect of reducing the loss of ship soul power, directly extending the submersion time, which is regarded as a disguised delay. After a few breaths, the nun disappeared completely, leaving only a small piece of the secret sea crystal in place. ??If the weirdo was as irrational as the Polluter, things would be easy to solve, just avoid him. Please choose your trophy! The middle-aged man headed by the leader turned his head and asked the girl in the crowd. ? Glancing at the data on the panel, Xia En felt more and more that his choice was right. Highlight a mystery. It just so happened that this church was basically swept away by Xia En. simultaneously Except for the main hall where the statues of gods are placed, there are coral monsters in the side halls and storage rooms of the church. ?From the daughter''s description, the shadow monster does not look like a human on the island, and can move in the sea for a long time without diving equipment. ??The light group summoned by the Huijiao Talisman has an outstanding effect on coral monsters! ?Exhausted, Shane lay on the captain''s chair and fell asleep. Some monsters also have some indescribable and strange abilities. The mission was successfully completed! Before she could finish her words, the light seemed to suddenly become brighter, submerging and melting the nun''s body. Furthermore, he seems to be able to communicate, which shows that he has considerable wisdom. But since he is an intelligent creature, he may be planning something secretly. With this thing, his efficiency in killing monsters can be improved to a higher level! ?Xia En licked the corners of his mouth, looking excited. Hela naturally didnt know the twists and turns in the adults heart. She believed her fathers words and was still happy to thank Mr. Weird in person. Im really just here to fight monsters and level up! But then again, this church copy has just the right amount of strength. With a long breath, Xia En relaxed his tense nerves and lay lazily on the chair, not even wanting to move his fingers. After absorbing the secret sea crystal, the remaining power of the ship soul was also consumed. "His deeds, appearance, and even authority...are all fake! The real Him is..." Several capable sea tribesmen, armed with various weapons, rushed to the door of the church. As for the newly added [Underwater Combat Skills] in the skills, it is just an addition and dispensable. I have to say that although its fun to farm monsters without thinking, its still a bit tiring. The gods are a scam Lets be part of something greater Then, two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed from his eyes. Well, but he may have left now. Its not too difficult, but its still challenging, and the rewards are quite generous. At this leveling speed, it takes five days to reach ordinary sea areas in one day! ?Xia En looked in a daze, his brain felt a little confused, and there was a dull pain. Submarine is over! Skills: Nameless Swordsmanship (Master), Navigation (Beginner), Astrology (Beginner), Fishing (Mastery), Deck Combat (Beginner), Underwater Combat Skills (Master) Hela nodded and asked curiously: "But father, what do you want to do with him?" ?But these three options were so **** that he had no desire to choose. Hela, the shadow monster you mentioned before is here, right? He did not tell his daughter the whole truth. ??And its a group attack. ?After using the Hui Jiao Talisman many times, his mental energy was exhausted a lot. Perhaps it was because of this that he heard these auditory hallucinations. ??Moreover, perhaps it is related to the "Lord of Radiance". ?This church was larger than he expected, just because of the coverage of numerous corals, which hid the magnificent building. The longer the time, the more monsters will be spawned. ?The man named Assad replied calmly: "Our family is a family that repays kindness. He saved my daughter and son, so I naturally have to thank him." He is a counterfeit Suddenly, two overlapping voices sounded in his ears. O God, why have you turned your back on us? ?Shaan rubbed his throbbing temples to relieve the discomfort in his mind. ?This voice was cold and distant, coming from nowhere, as if it spanned an immeasurable amount of time. Its really a bit evil. Is this the side effect of mumbling and mumbling? ?Shaan is quite satisfied with this. Mainly mental fatigue. Subsequently, Shane officially started sweeping the church copies. Suddenly, the nun turned her head, looked at Xia En aside, and said in a voice that came directly into her mind. ??If irreconcilable conflicts arise, Assad will not mind using force! Father is so kind! But fortunately, with Xia Ens exaggerated numerical values ??and the lethality of [Hui Jiao Amulet], they did not bring much hindrance. He also checked the surrounding buildings against the map and confirmed that this was not the location marked on the treasure map. ??But apart from using the [Hui Jiao Amulet], Xia En still doesnt know what other specific uses this attribute has. While Xia En was thinking. He could somewhat understand the nun''s reluctance and obsession. After this half-day of submersible, Xia En''s experience bar and attributes have been greatly improved. This is all thanks to [high-speed regeneration]. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (38%) It is best if you have a good conversation. In the dazzling light, the coral on a monster''s body was rapidly melting, revealing her original appearance. Illuminated by the light group, the nun actually opened her eyes! ?Those beautiful gray eyes stared at the warm light group, but their expression was extremely sad. Subsequently, a group of people swam into the church. ?The scene here surprised them. (End of this chapter) Chapter 35 Lord God (Happy New Year!!!) Chapter 35 Lord Gods Envoy (Happy New Year!!) ?Swimming into the church door, what you see is a mess. Decomposed wood chips are floating in the sea water, the floors and walls are full of cracks, and irregular stones can be seen everywhere. ?This place is like experiencing an underwater storm. This ancient building has become in danger. So powerful and destructive. ?Seeing this scene, Assad was secretly frightened. Such traces are definitely not something that ordinary first-level secret path seekers can leave behind. ?Although their clan rarely communicates with outsiders, they still have their own inheritance, so they naturally have some understanding of the Mystic Path and their levels. ?Like Assad himself, he is a first-level professional in the secret path of [Berserker]. Hence, we have a clearer understanding of what kind of concept it is that just the aftermath of the battle can create this scene. ?However, what surprised Assad even more was another thing. Coral Theres no coral here? ?Any sea tribe living in the Coral City knows that coral is an integral part of this city. Not to mention the "polluters" hidden in the dark, more or less corals can be seen in any building. But in the eyes of everyone at this time, the interior of this church was actually a little too "clean". "How is this going?" Assad frowned slightly and asked Hela: "Is this what it was like when you left before?" "no." Hela also showed a confused expression: "Strange... I remember when I left, there were a lot of corals on the wall." She pointed to a corner of the church: "And the body of the polluter, which was lying here before, why is it missing?" ?Assad walked to the location pointed by Hela and found a layer of gray-white powder on the ground. ?He picked up a handful of powder with his fingers and after observing it carefully, he couldn''t help but look surprised. This is...the breath of the Lord of Radiance! In fact, these ancestors of the Sea Tribe are the residents of the Shoton Kingdom. After being transformed into the Sea Tribe, this group of people luckily survived the terrible disaster and continued to this day step by step, so they have some understanding of the civilization of the previous generation. Furthermore, the sea people have discovered that believing in the Lord of Radiance can reduce the probability of being [contaminated]. As a result, the belief in the Lord of Radiance spread among them again. But why is the aura of the Lord of Radiance left here? Is it still so pure and rich? ?With such doubts, Assad led a group of people and continued to move toward the interior of the church. The further inside, the more Assad was surprised. ?Similar to the situation in the hall, traces of battles can be seen all around, but no body of a Defiler can be seen. Only some gray powder remains in place, proving that they once existed in this world. The polluters and corals in the entire church seem to have been carefully cleaned. Is this all done by that shadow weirdo? How many polluters did he execute? But, what is his purpose in doing this? ?Assad is a little confused. He knows very well what a dangerous and strange existence polluters are. ?Incomparable strength, fearlessness of death, and extremely strong regeneration ability...the combination of these elements is already extremely difficult. Not to mention, the most terrifying ability of a polluter is precisely its [pollution] characteristic! If you come into contact with it for a long time, it will be assimilated by the polluter and become an irrational monster. This process is almost irreversible! Therefore, even the most courageous and skilled warriors in the clan are unwilling to take the initiative to provoke polluters. But now, there are people who are willing to risk their lives to eliminate all polluters along the way without asking for anything in return? How can there be such a good thing under the sea? Hela also noticed the anomaly in the church and whispered: "By the way, father, Mr. Shadow was bitten by a polluter before, and there was no sign of pollution." Could it be that Mr. Shadow is a being who specializes in hunting polluters? ?His daughter''s words were like a thunderbolt flashing through Assad''s mind, allowing him to connect many points into one line. For a moment, Assad understood everything. He showed a knowing smile and said: "It''s not hunting, it''s purification!" I completely understand That gentleman is the messenger of the Lord of Radiance! Hela: Huh? Seeing that his fellow tribesmen were a little confused, Assad patiently explained: "These gray powders are the remains of the polluters, with a glorious aura remaining on them." It was evident that they were purified by the divine radiance. "Only the messenger of the Lord of Radiance will take the initiative to purify these filthy souls. At the same time, because of the blessing of the gods, the messenger will not be polluted by them." Assads statement is well-founded and convincing. ?Everyone nodded, only Hela blinked in confusion. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t connect the strange ghost-like image with the word "godly messenger". Father Helas words of persuasion havent been spoken yet. Suddenly, as if to confirm Assad''s conjecture, a bright light suddenly lit up at the corner not far away. "That is!?" ?Assads eyes narrowed and he immediately swam in the direction of the light source. ?Everyone also quickly followed. ?However, their movements were still a little slower, and they could only be seen in the distance... At the end of the passage, there is a Defiler bathing in divine light. ?This light is so warm that it makes people feel a sense of intimacy and comfort for no reason. ?Perhaps being purified by the radiance, the polluter vaguely turned into the appearance of a nun! ??The nun turned her back to everyone, as if she was whispering something to someone. Because the light in mid-air was too bright, people could not see clearly the appearance of that being, and could only see the outline of a human figure. ??He is full of divinity and powerful temperament. It is impossible to look directly at him, but people can''t help but feel the desire to worship him. After a while. The light dissipated, and the nun and the figure disappeared. Many sea people felt lost, as if they had witnessed a miracle with their own eyes. Its unmistakable, thats the envoy of God! Assad said resolutely: "Who can purify these polluters except the messengers of God?" The nun was probably inspired by the divine messenger and confessed her sins to the divine messenger, and thus was liberated. At this moment, even Hela, who had seen Mr. Shadows true form, couldnt help but feel deep self-doubt. Could it be that I am too short-sighted to recognize the true face of the Gods Envoy? After thinking about it, Hela couldn''t help but asked curiously: "But why did the God Envoy suddenly disappear?" ?Assad paused, thought about it and said. How can we speculate on the idea of ??an existence like Him? God must have a deep intention in causing you to do this. at the same time. ?Shaan just woke up from the captain''s chair, yawned, and rubbed his eyes sleepily. I saw two lines of information flashing on the panel. Your actions have gained the admiration and admiration of the sea people! Acquire the status "Admiration of the Sea Tribe"! ?????? I want to spend more time with my family today, so I only have one update. It is fate to meet each other in the vast sea of ??books. I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance! Without any other blessings, I wish you all to get rich as soon as possible! I also hope that friends can continue to read this book. Every reading, recommendation, and comment from you is my motivation. I will work hard! Thank you very much! ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 36 Loyalty, needless to say Chapter 36 Loyalty, no need to say more What the **** is this? ?Xia En had just woken up and was still a little drowsy, but after seeing the two lines of prompts, he immediately stopped feeling sleepy. Doesnt he remember what he has done that can make the sea people admire him? ?Humistically speaking, rescuing the Sea Clan siblings would count as one thing. But it wont rise to the level of a sea tribe, right? ?Shaan checked the specific information of this status. Worship of the sea people Quality: inferior ?s influence in the specific area "Coral City" has increased! ?Xia En didnt take it too seriously. "Yes." An arrived on the deck on time, but Xia En was nowhere to be seen. ?Seeing Xia En on the deck, An was startled for a moment, then pressed a button with his hand to exit the "diving suit" state. ?Seeing Xia En arrive, Joey quickly stopped and said a little embarrassed. ?At this moment, a particularly clear sound of water came from the sea. He was planning to wait for the captain''s arrival when Joey, who was drying fish on the deck, suddenly spoke. Mr. Captain asked me to tell you that he will explore the Coral City with you today. "And one more thing." ??Xia En was admiring the beautiful scenery while drawing conclusions based on his own navigation knowledge. Open the bag and take a look. He was obsessed with speed-clearing monsters in [Deep Sea Diving], but he ignored the feelings of the crew. ?Xia Ens mouth twitched, how can you even do this? Turning around to look, Xia En saw a row of salted fish hanging on the wooden frame of the deck. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. In the distance, the setting sun is slowly sinking into the sea level. The clouds and waves are bathed in golden light. The mountains are stacked with golden light, full of magnificent beauty. Captain, you can actually dive? This is what I gained from this trip, please take a look. According to his habit, storing enough food on the boat would also make him feel more secure. After thinking about it, Xia En felt that the only possibility was that someone saw the scene after he speed-passed the church dungeon, so there was some kind of misunderstanding, right? Its always a good thing. Sorry, I dived into the sea without your permission. Inside were dozens of coins with a black surface, probably silver coins that had become oxidized and discolored. ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully. I saw that the fish on the boat were almost spoiled, so I wanted to pickle them into salted dried fish, so that they could be preserved longer, but...a lot of salt was used. Similarly. ?There are no entertainment options on the ship. It looks like the weather will be good in the next few days. ?There are also several ancient copper and silver ornaments. ?The complex environment, weird monsters, and terrifying legends about it are all enough to scare people away. Description: The sea tribesmen in Coral City are praising your deeds. Different from [Knight''s Guard], this state seems more like the "regional legend" and "reputation value" in some games. The doubts in An''s heart flashed away. But I think it is part of a knight''s duty. Most sea people will respect you, but a very small number of people will hate you for this. ??Joy hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "Mr. Knight went to the sea." At this point, Xia En made up his mind and said, "I don''t mean to blame you. It''s your freedom how to act." ?Then, Xia En''s eyes swept across the deck, but he didn''t see the eye-catching armored figure, and he couldn''t help but be a little surprised. Captain, I''m back. This is an ancient ritual passed down by their Karloff family, which means ?This crew is too dedicated, right? When he was a social animal in his previous life, he was someone who seized every opportunity to fish. Not to mention taking the initiative to work overtime for the company, he even wished he could **** for eight hours a day with pay. ?Xia En praised gently. Xia En was a little moved. ??Joy continued: "I also advised him, but Mr. Knight said that a mature knight should learn to take the initiative to contribute to his master." ??Does this thing have internal storage space? ??Although Xia En has been surprised by An''s armor many times, this thing can always give him new tricks. At noon the next day. You mean, An Ta dived into the sea to salvage it alone? Even if An was a knight who could endure loneliness, he would still feel a little bored. If things go on like this, mental and psychological diseases may even occur. In his impression, some secret ways to advance to a higher level seem to have to meet the implicit requirements of prestige. Too idle! This is not a derogatory sense, but an objective state of existence. Following that, An skillfully took out cardboard and charcoal from the inside of the armor. At this time, Xia En smiled and said: "Tomorrow at noon, you come to the deck. I have an important task for you." The sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is gentle. After arriving at the sea area where Coral City is located, Xia En dropped anchor directly and parked the Black Swan here. "oh?" ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood the meaning of this sentence, and his expression changed slightly. I would like to give my heart to you! ?Although the selling price is not good, as long as it undergoes special treatment, it can be as bright as new again, and it will not be a problem to sell it for more than ten silver snake coins. ?An armored man emerged from the water. He clung to the hull of the ship with his hands and climbed onto the deck with light movements. Wait, where did Ann go? ??But An is still willing to take the initiative to explore it and hand over the harvest to himself. ?Shaan: ??The little cook Joy is busy nearby, with beads of sweat hanging on her fair face. ??When Xia En didn''t show up, there were only two crew members, and they couldn''t even get together to play cards. For ordinary salvagers, Coral City is definitely a very dangerous place. "Um?" There are both big and small fish, and many of them are leftover fish meat from previous meals. An was stunned. Even through the armor, Xia En could feel his silent gaze. Mr. Captain, you are here. With the existence of [Captains Majesty], there is almost no need for sailors to control the Black Swan. Its okay, you did a good job. ?Stepping out of the captain''s cabin, Xia En realized that it was already evening. Type: Status Besides, Mr. Captain is already waiting for you in the sea. Suddenly, he smelled a strange salty smell. ??Could this be the legendary King Juan? But after thinking about it, Xia En realized another reason why An took the initiative to go to sea After writing these words, An took off the sack tied around her waist and handed it to Xia En respectfully. ?After a while, he came back to his senses, made a fist with his right hand, hammered his left chest hard twice, and then wrote. Loyalty, no need to say more! I understand, my master. "But if you regard me as a companion, it is best to inform me in advance. If you encounter danger, I can also rescue you." Everyone who passes by will leave traces. ?? Joey was drying salted fish on the deck, actually to find something to do for himself. But he didnt think much, he directly switched the form of his armor and jumped towards the sea. As the vision is submerged by the deep sea water. A strange figure gradually appeared in front of An''s eyes. Happy New Year! (End of this chapter) Chapter 37 This place is destined for me Chapter 37 This place is destined for me ?The figure was wrapped in a pitch-black robe, covering his face and most of his body. Even the surrounding seawater seemed to be dyed black. But even so, he still seems a bit illusory, obscure, and lacks the sense of real existence. It''s like...the body observed by outsiders seems to be just a disguise, a body. It is impossible to glimpse its reality. It''s shape cannot be described. The moment she saw him, An couldn''t help but hold her breath and her heart beat rapidly. ??If he had a long sword in his hand, his first reaction would probably be to split open this strange existence with one sword. ?Seeing this, he felt happy. Now is the time for it to shine. ?Taking the cathedral as the starting point, go all the way north and search for churches along the way. Xia En, who was wearing a black robe, looked at An in front of him and felt something strange in his heart. ?This small church is located in the southeast corner of the upper city, not far from yesterday''s cathedral, only two blocks away. Thinking about it carefully, An was even stronger than himself during the previous duel. But this day came earlier than he expected. This kind of monster has the ability to pollute and assimilate. You must be careful and it is best not to come into direct contact with it. ] ? ? ? Although Ans armor was fully enclosed during diving, no one knew whether the pollution ability of this weird coral could penetrate the armor. With Ann''s help, Xia En''s exploration became easier and more enjoyable. Boom! With a muffled sound, the monster''s body shattered, and the colorful coral was directly smashed into fragments all over the sky by the huge force, and scattered in the sea water. the other side. Xia En thought happily: "Even if we encounter a monster stronger than the coral spider last time, we will definitely make it come back!" ?Shaans plan is This place is destined for me! Dont underestimate this experience. Its so...unusual? ??Although in Xia En''s vision, this is an essential part. ?Thinking of this, Xia En smiled in relief and waved to An, gesturing for him to follow him. ??Xia En decided to use the Hui Jiao amulet with caution. Master Captain, are you not injured? Shaan followed suit and wrote: "I''m fine." Even after the entire church was wiped out, Xia En''s experience points only increased by 3%. Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are! followed by. An felt warm all over her body. The coldness of being in the sea for a long time was completely dissipated, and all the hidden wounds in her body seemed to be healed. Don''t worry about me, I have a special secret method that can ignore pollution. As soon as the two of them stepped through the door, a turbulent undercurrent suddenly hit them. Even so, An Haixia is still a very good combat force. Unfortunately, the mansion is covered with an extremely thick layer of coral reef, which destroys the original beauty of the building with its colorful and twisted appearance. ??This was also his first time diving to explore underwater ruins with the crew. After confirming An''s strength, Xia En became bolder and took him out of the church to look for suitable targets in the ruins of the city full of coral. ?After completing the promotion ceremony, An''s physical fitness has naturally been greatly enhanced. In terms of numerical value alone, she may have surpassed Xia En. What about you? A humanoid monster covered with coral suddenly jumped out from behind the door. The efficiency is really not high. From the gaps in the coral, you can vaguely see the grandeur of this building. Before Xia En could make a move, An took the lead and stood in front of him, punching the coral monster in the chest with a bang. The two of them moved forward steadily towards the interior of the church, one behind the other. An nodded solemnly: [I understand. ??The power of this punch surprised him slightly. ?Perhaps due to the induction of the [Knight] profession to the servant master, An miraculously recognized the identity of the black shadow, and was shocked at the same time. An and I work together, how can we have a unified general? Dont use doubtful people, and dont doubt people when you employ them. I specially selected crew members who are loyal enough, isnt it just for today? ?In An''s slightly dull eyes, a brilliant golden light appeared in front of the mansion. The coral that came into contact with the light instantly melted like ice and snow and turned into pale gray. It is indeed an extraordinary magic pattern craft! He was both surprised and curious: "What a magical brilliance. Is this also the captain''s secret method?" ?However, this is just a small church after all. The quality and quantity of monsters are very average, making it a low-level dungeon. next moment. Without hesitation, Xia En and An came to the gate of the mansion. ?Furthermore, Ans diving suit lasted much longer than Sean imagined. Soon, Xia En swam above the ruins of a suspected mansion. Its just that his secret profession does not have the blessing of water warfare, so it is subject to considerable restrictions. "It''s so tightly sealed that no outsiders have probably explored it. There are definitely a lot of good things inside." ?This is the first time that he has shown the appearance of his projected body in front of his crew. ??Just when An was curious whether the captain wanted to use violence to break this layer of coral, Xia En took out a small golden amulet. Xia En swam around the mansion and looked around, but could not find an entrance accessible to people. A copy of this level can no longer satisfy me. Use the stupidest elimination method to determine the location of the [Ember Treasure]. ?An had no idea what "deep sea diving" and "projection body" were, and only thought it was one of Xia En''s special abilities as a mystic. The brick-red walls, pointed roofs, and exquisite ancient carvings are still vaguely visible after a long time. ?Shaan: ?! It seems that I still have to go to the advanced dungeon to brush monsters. ? Sometimes you dont even need to do it yourself, just wait and pick up the experience. Like yesterday, the door of the chapel is open, waiting for every visitor. Warm and bright light bloomed in the dark seabed. ?An looked at Xia En with concern, picked up a wooden stick and wrote on the sand. This is the posture of adults in the sea? In order to avoid scaring An, he also put on a black robe as a cover-up. Because this time I took the crew with me to "double row". ??But after observing carefully for a moment, An suddenly noticed a sense of familiarity from this black figure. However, using less not using it. Wait a minute, could this figure be... the captain? And Xia En is not the only one who has become stronger and improved. Then, Xia En walked to the coral monster and pretended to touch the corpse to absorb its secret sea crystal. ?Shaan did not choose those large dungeons that looked extremely difficult, but started exploring from a small church that was neither high nor short. As for the reason why the projected body can carry it? ?During a dive, Shane discovered that as long as he took this type of equipment with extraordinary power on him before diving, the projection body could be used simultaneously. At this time, as the coral melted and collapsed, this ancient mansion finally opened its arms to the two of them. (End of this chapter) Chapter 38 Bright blood bar! Chapter 38 Bright blood bar! ?The white ash is flying in the sea like snowflakes. After losing the shelter of the coral, what you see is a simple and solid wooden door. ?This door is made of unknown wood and is dark red in color. Even after being soaked in seawater for so long, it has not decayed at all. Only wood with extraordinary secret power can do this. Dragon Blood Wooden Door Quality: Rare Type: Material ??In a mansion like this, there will definitely be powerful mystics sitting there, and the coral monsters they transform into will obviously be much stronger than the miscellaneous fish outside. ?Half of his face is lifelike, that of a handsome middle-aged man. At least under the sea, I don''t need you to protect my safety with your life, you only need to protect yourself. Xia En felt moved after seeing it. The sharp cold light almost touched his face. ??The attendant took advantage of the impact and stepped back. After standing firm, he glanced at the trembling sword in his hand, with some surprise in his eyes. The man''s voice can pass through the sea water directly to Xia En''s mind, but Xia En doesn''t know how to make his voice underwater. Part of it has been broken, while the other part remains the same as it was many years ago. But its a little embarrassing. ?Since the past few days of sweeps, there have been quite a few monsters that have some memories of their lives and can speak human languages. The first monks and later nuns all fall into this category. next moment. Xia Ens pupils narrowed slightly. Seeing these words, An Mingming was stunned for a moment and thought to himself. After all, the projection body is gone and it will be refreshed tomorrow. What a great strength. After a moment of hesitation, Xia En took a step forward, wanting to see the man''s true face. ??The voice of the man in white sounded again, with a hint of sullenness in his tone. This man is standing on top of the corpses of many coral monsters! Could it be said that this person still maintains a clear mind? While the two of them were observing the scene inside the hall. Seeing this, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. As for An, who is an "aphasic elf", there is no need to say more. ?Xia En is not willing to provoke such a person. He nodded heavily, accepting this order. Risk and return are often equal. Because he saw that under the person''s feet, many colorful and deformed corals were piled up into a hill in a broken, messy and crowded manner. Dragon blood wood can be obtained after disassembly. Xia En felt the fighting spirit in his heart, and the iron hook he had long held in his hand swiped violently, colliding with the long sword. Hearing this, Xia En had a strange expression. In fact, he didn''t think much about it at all. He was just afraid that this overly loyal knight would lose his life to protect the projection body. But since he is a monster assimilated by coral, to Xia En, he is just a BOSS with a health bar! This is an order from me, your captain, do you understand? ??The speed of this sword is extremely fast, as if it ignores the strong resistance of the sea water and wants to chop off Xia En''s head with one sword! The Kingdom of Shuton is dead! What is the meaning of a so-called prince? ??This prince''s valet is still emphasizing this point. Either he is too old-fashioned and persistent and unwilling to accept the cruel reality, or he has already gone crazy! ??While Xia En was thinking, the man could no longer bear the rudeness of this intruder, and his body moved suddenly, almost turning into a phantom. The membrane formed by the power of the ship''s soul is like a diving suit, isolating the sound inside. What a kind and generous servant! Suppose this prince''s personal attendant is a living mystic. I saw a man standing on the stairs leading upstairs from the hall. Its here now, we cant just back down. After thinking for a moment, Shane wrote on the sand. Visitor, stop! A look of surprise flashed in Xia En''s eyes. My words will not be repeated a third time. His strength is probably inestimable if he can live in this flooded closed mansion for such a long time. Human limbs and decayed bones can be seen in them. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Xia En and the two of them, and swung the silver-white sword forward in his hand. An, I''m afraid there will be a tough battle ahead. But it was the first time he had encountered a man like this who seemed to be able to communicate normally. This is the residence of the noble Prince Atlas. Uninvited outsiders are not allowed to trespass. Please leave immediately. Inconvenient communication is indeed a problem in undersea exploration. The power of the dragon continues in my body. What made him even more excited was that even the door was made of rare extraordinary materials. What kind of family was this? Princes and generals? Suddenly, a steady and hoarse voice penetrated the sea water and entered the ears of the two of them. But if the crew is gone, its really gone! After getting ready, Xia En immediately took An You into the dark mansion gate. Even this door panel is a good thing! The first thing that comes into view is a hall that can almost be described as huge. There are some complicated and magnificent chandeliers hanging on the surprisingly high dome. ??Under the weak light coming from the outside world, the man''s face was dim and unclear. He was wearing a plain white swordsman uniform, and his back was as straight as a long sword. ?However, like other buildings, there are still traces of the mess on the ground from the disaster that year, and there are still many corals growing wildly here. But the other half of the face was covered in bright red coral, and the soft tentacles were still swaying gently in the sea water, looking extremely weird. It is my honor to be loyal to this lord! Xia En''s heart moved and he looked up. Or is it an ancient nobility that has been around for a long time? Expectations are expectations, and Xia En has not been dazzled by the benefits. With the help of the silver light reflected by the sword blade, Xia En was able to see the man''s face clearly. Dang! ?The water waves kept vibrating, stirring up turbulent undercurrents. ?Xia En reacted equally quickly and quickly turned aside to avoid the fatal sword. I want you to act according to the opportunity. If you encounter an unbeatable enemy, separate and run away with me. "Otherwise, as the prince''s personal attendant, I have the right to kill you on the spot." Seeing this scene, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. The furnishings and decorations in the hall are nothing extraordinary, and the former splendor and splendor can be vaguely seen. Description: A gate made of mahogany soaked in dragon''s blood, which can survive for hundreds of years in sea water. ??Had it not been inconvenient to carry a door panel with him, he would have wanted to just dismantle the wooden door and pack it away. ?Just standing there gives people an indescribable sense of sharpness. ?This kind of wood is a good choice whether it is used to repair ship cabins or to make tools. I said, stop! However, its just brute force after all. ??The attendant shook his head disdainfully, then raised the sword in his hand and said, "Let me show you the secret of the secret swordsmanship of the Atlas family!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 39 【Shadow Swordsmanship】 Chapter 39 [Shadow Swordsmanship] lived! Bang! Bang! Before the sword-wielding man finished speaking, An, who was beside Xia En, picked up a rusty sword at his feet and charged towards him with heavy steps. ?Every step An took on the floor caused the floor to tremble slightly and left a deep footprint. The whole figure is like a heavily armored rhinoceros running wildly, unstoppable. ?His attack was so decisive that the attendant did not react for a moment and could only hastily pick up his sword to block. Dang! There was another muffled sound. ?This big sword is not sharp, but it is still strong. ?The heavy force was transmitted along the sword body to the hands of the attendant, causing him to take several steps back. How come one and two of them are such powerful barbarians? Not elegant at all! ??The servant cursed in his heart. His swordsmanship was born out of court skills and has always been known for its elegance and beauty. However, this kind of unreasonable brute force was somewhat restrained. Xia En, however, didn''t care what the other party was thinking. While he and An were facing each other head-on, he swung his legs and shuttled through the water. Like a wandering ghost. ?After getting close enough, the iron hook in Xia En''s hand was at a tricky angle, hitting the nearest servant''s heart! ????????????????????????????????????? For this kind of evil monster, there is no need to talk about moral principles, we should go up together! Is there any problem in forming a group to fight the BOSS? ?This kind of offensive without any morals immediately put the servant in a dilemma. ?But he was an experienced master after all. His eyes were focused and he quickly waved the sword in his hand. In an instant! ??The sword buzzed and trembled, as if it had transformed into dozens of afterimages, slashing at Xia En''s body at the same time. ?The silver-white sword light is continuous, and its sharpness reaches right in front of the face. ?This scene is actually very incredible. You must know that in sea water, the use and power of any weapon will be greatly affected. ?Especially for sharp weapons like long swords, after splitting the water flow, the speed and power will be greatly reduced, let alone the afterimage. ? Fishermen and salvagers mostly use stabbing weapons, such as harpoons and tridents. However, at this time, the swordsmanship of the prince''s attendant seemed not to be affected by the resistance of the sea water! Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. As expected of an old guy from the last era, he still has some real skills. ??Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the real killing move of this swordsmanship was not the dazzling sword light, but something hidden beneath the sword light. Distracted thoughts flashed through his mind. Faced with the bright sword light, Xia En struggled to swing the rusty iron hook. ?There is no skill in this swing, just pure power. There was no suspense, the afterimage of the iron hook dissipated in an instant. It seemed that even the dazzling sword light could not suppress the momentum of this dark iron hook. simultaneously! But suddenly, a sharp pain came from Xia En''s waist and abdomen. Ship Soul Power -10! Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he looked down. ??The black robe used to cover the body was cut open by a sharp blade, and waves of pain stimulated the nerves. That was just now? Just now, he vaguely saw a shadow approaching quietly with the help of the sword light, scratching his waist. This attack is no small matter. 10% of Xia En''s "health" was directly cut off. In addition to the previous exploration, about ten points of the ship''s soul power have been consumed. As long as he withstands eight more attacks like this, this dungeon challenge will end in failure. Wait, now that you think about it, it doesnt seem so scary? Xia En''s mentality quickly calmed down. In fact, if he were flesh and blood at this time, this sword would be enough to determine the outcome. The damage to his diving suit and the constant blood loss in the sea water both doomed him to a slow death. As for now A smile appeared on Xia En''s lips: "Just try your best and see if you can hit me eight times before I kill you!" Unknown valet, you are the challenger! Why? At this time, the man in white also noticed the strange touch coming from the sword blade, and his expression changed slightly. But before he had time to think about it, there was a surge of water behind him. An took the big sword and slashed it down! The attendant flicked his wrist, and the sword light and the afterimage swayed out together. ??Just when he was about to follow the same example and use the killing move of swordsmanship to penetrate the gap in the knight''s armor, a dazzling light lit up in the hall. Shanes idea is simple. Since the valet''s killing move is a shadow under the sword light, as long as the shadow has nowhere to hide, half of his swordsmanship will be wasted. ??However, after seeing the brilliance, the attendant murmured in a daze: "The brilliance of the Lord of Glory..." Who are you? As soon as he asked this question to Xia En, his expression suddenly became painful and distorted. Ah...it hurts...it hurts so much... Why does it hurt so much? The coral on the right half of the man''s face melted rapidly in the light, which obviously caused him great pain. ??He couldn''t help but cover his face with his hands, but the touch from his hands made him stunned. That is definitely not the state that flesh and blood should have. Nonodid I do it earlier? ??The man lowered his head in disbelief and found cracks appearing in the palm of his hand, with wisps of living coral tentacles emerging from them. In an instant, he understood everything. ?Over the years, his perseverance, his loneliness, and his pride have all lost their meaning. ?So, the man collapsed. ??More and more corals spread from his torn body, eventually forming a bloated inhuman monster. From the wide mouth, the last discernible words spat out. Please, kill me The battle ended quickly. After losing his rationality and superb swordsmanship, the second-stage valet is just a sandbag with a thick health bar and does not pose much of a threat. ?However, standing in front of its corpse, Xia En rarely felt much joy in defeating a powerful enemy. Instead, he felt an indescribable feeling. ??The reason why this servant still maintains his sanity is probably because his obsession is so deep that he deceived the coral polyps parasitizing his body and also deceived himself. After feeling a little emotional, Xia En walked to the body. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? "absorb!" The mysterious blue crystals of the secret sea precipitated from the body of the coral monster and quickly submerged into Xia En''s skin. ??Threads of cool breath lingered on the limbs and bones, and finally merged into the "Eye of the Secret Sea" in the mind. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (47%) Learned Skill: Shadow Swordsmanship! ?Quality: Rare Type: Skill Description: The extraordinary swordsmanship mastered by the servants of the Atlas family is derived from the palace swordsmanship. The real killing move is hidden under the gorgeous sword style. When performing sword skills, the mysterious power of shadow can be integrated into it. Those with affinity to the shadow attribute can practice this sword skill faster. I want to become the Shadow Sword Master! Note: "Unknown Swordsmanship" will be merged into this skill, and the experience and skills already obtained will not be affected. "Skill?" Xia En''s heart moved. When you absorbed the secret sea crystals before, all you unlocked were talents. But this time, the situation seems to be a little different. Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this, fragmented memories flooded into his mind. (End of this chapter) Chapter 40 Thank you gift from the sea tribe Chapter 40 The Sea Tribes Gift of Thanks In memory fragments. ? There are scenes of young people practicing repeatedly swinging swords, and there are also scenes of young people sparring with their peers. ?There are also scenes of middle-aged men slitting the enemy''s throat and stabbing the enemy''s heart with a sword, with countless bones under their feet. In the process of absorbing memories, many battle experiences and sword-wielding experiences were integrated into Xia En''s mind and became part of his instinct. When he opened his eyes again, Xia En already had a detailed understanding of this swordsmanship. As if he had practiced it hundreds or thousands of times. The so-called "purification" generally refers to the process of using Hui Jiao talismans to eliminate polluters. Every year, a large number of our compatriots die from attacks and pollution caused by polluters. We will remember your good deeds of purifying polluters. ?Until the entire corpse turned into white ash, Xia En put away the amulet. At the same time, he felt a little dizzy in his brain. It can be said that he is both a human and a coral monster, so this precious swordsmanship experience is retained in the secret sea crystals in his body. Description: A necklace made of magical conch that is rich in secret power. After wearing it, you can communicate with sea people in the sea. The fact that I will be regarded as a divine messenger probably has something to do with the effect of this amulet. This is a sign of excessive mental energy consumption. It can be regarded as a merciful relief for the swordsman. ??This Sea Clan girl is none other than Hela, who had a relationship with Xia En. He was about to take the lead and break out of the encirclement when the Sea Clan crowd suddenly split to both sides. A young Sea Clan girl swam towards Xia En and the two of them, with a happy smile on her face. As expected of the envoy of God! install:"?????" ?On the other side, Ans eyes were firm under the armor. When did the Sea Tribe start using honey traps? "You are a respectable swordsman, and everything you do is not meaningless." Hela, who was very lively before, immediately calmed down and swam to the side with her mouth pursed. The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched again. Hela continued to talk: "Just now we saw the traces of you purifying the [Polluter], so we followed you all the way, and sure enough we found you." ?There is vigilance, awe, and fear in these eyes... Subsequently, he took out the Hui Cult Talisman and activated a bright and warm light group to completely purify the huge corpse. Immediately, an invisible mysterious force field seemed to expand from the conch. Hello, Lord Envoy of God, I am Assad, the leader of the Sith clan. Most of the time, they keep a respectful distance and do not want to come into contact with humans. After glancing at the description of this necklace, Xia En immediately knew what it was. Just as Xia En figured out the cause and effect, another middle-aged man swam out from the sea tribe crowd. In the Coral City, only the most distinguished guests can get this gift. ??I really only came here to brush monsters and level up, how come I have become the messenger that people call me? Hearing this, Xia En had a strange expression. ?She glanced at the large area of ??white ash on the ground, her expression becoming more and more admiring: "It seems that you have purified another powerful [Polluter]." Shaan was greatly surprised. ?It was his action of killing the coral monsters that attracted the admiration of these sea people. Quality: Rare I? Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention, my name is Hela, and I am the daughter of the leader of the Sith clan. ?Xia En thought about it carefully and found that this was actually a good thing. "Um?" Cant delay it any longer! ??The talent of absorbing secret sea creatures is already very powerful, but now, even their skills are not spared? Polluter obviously refers to the weird coral monster. ?With his brain spinning rapidly, Xia En quickly guessed the truth of the matter. ?An looked at Xia En deeply and made up her mind. An was slightly startled. ??He clearly understood the Hai Clan''s language, but he didn''t seem to understand it. However, there are also some ethnic groups who will actively expel and hunt salvagers who dive into the sea. Who is the messenger of God? ?Several sea tribesmen swam into the gate at some point, looked at Xia En and the two with different eyes, and were still mumbling something. Through Assads words, he can basically confirm his conjecture. This line of information on the panel also proves that Xia En''s feelings are not an illusion. He has heard that the sea tribe in Coral City have never been friendly to humans on the sea. ?In An Xianglai, this group of sea people obviously regarded themselves and the captain as hunting targets. Still a young girl? ?However, the captain will definitely not be fooled by such a low-level strategy, right? Who knows, after the girl approached, Xia En relaxed obviously and waved his hand to indicate that An didn''t need to be so nervous. Type: Equipment ?The girl''s clear and melodious voice rang in Xia En''s ears and turned into understandable words. "Gift?" This secret sea crystal contains the swordsmanship skills and experience of the valet? Xia En was a little panicked, but on the surface he still had that enigmatic and mysterious attitude. Angel of God? Xia En calmed down and was about to continue conquering this "Prince''s Residence" instance. This princes attendant became one with the mutated coral without even realizing it. Some even have a hint of fanaticism and admiration. She didnt know what this strange armored man was thinking, but she quickly took out a necklace made of white conch shells and offered it to Xia En respectfully. Magical Conch Necklace But after thinking about it, Xia En guessed that this was probably just a small probability event. Your Majesty the Envoy of God! At this moment, An stepped forward, stood in front of him, and looked at the gate of the mansion warily. ?Although he is not a genuine divine envoy, he will definitely not let go of any coral monster he sees (experience pack). With the title of divine envoy, he will undoubtedly gain a lot of convenience. Assad first glanced at his daughter and said in a deep voice: "Hela, don''t be rude to the envoy of God!" Even if I risk my life, I still have to protect your safety. Shadow Swordsmanship (Mastery) He took the necklace and put it around his neck. ?Assad put his hand on his chest, saluted Xia En, and said. Purify? Polluter? Hearing these new terms that came out, the corners of Xia En''s mouth couldn''t help but tremble. His black robe and projection body cover up, and almost no one can see his true expression. Isnt it just unfathomable? ?Of course, thinking about it, Xia En would not say this out loud. In front of the coral-turned corpse, Xia En said to himself. ?Xia En raised his eyebrows and looked out the door with the same vigilance. Since he couldn''t communicate, Xia En was a little confused about their attitude, whether they were friends or foes. First of all, on behalf of the people of Coral City, I would like to thank you for your achievements. ?Moreover, looking at this posture, it seems that they are still recruiting friends and more accomplices to surround and suppress the two of them. As soon as Xia En came up with this idea, Assad continued: "Secondly, you saved my daughter earlier. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you as a father." ?He waved to the tribesmen behind him, and several women from the sea tribe swam out holding several boxes. (End of this chapter) Chapter 41 【Mysterious Pearl】 Chapter 41 [Mysterious Pearl] Thank you? ?Shaans eyes lit up. If you want to say this, then I wont be sleepy. I saw that every Sea Clan woman was holding a box made of shells in her arms, which was bright and dazzling. ??Although the bodies of the Hai people have alien characteristics, they are still basically in line with human aesthetics. For some people with special hobbies, it may add a bit of unique style. It is said that there are special sea custom shops on some islands. Assad was filled with emotion, but he still persuaded him: "After all, this is our intention, please accept it." If you insist on giving it, you might as well give it to him. what is happening? ?Confused out of confusion, An took these things honestly and put them into the sack around her waist. The woman from the sea tribe opened it, revealing a milky white pearl the size of a goose egg. But why are their attitudes so respectful? ??And give away so many treasures? Why is it handed over to me now? He made up his mind at this moment and said to the guards around him: "You guys, come with me to the royal territory now." A person in this world? Can be used as a magic potion to assist in entering the promotion ritual. My lord, I understand! Asad explained in due course: "This is a specialty of our clan, called the Mystic Spirit Pearl. Wearing it on the body can enhance the perception of spirituality and mysterious power, and it should be helpful to the spiritual envoy''s practice." ?He is not a real messenger to begin with. If he continues to act greedy and greedy, anyone with a discerning eye will be able to detect something fishy. ifier Xia En''s breathing stagnated slightly. Xia En almost smiled, but still pretended not to care on the surface and said in a deep voice. Over the years, the Sea Clan must have excavated many underwater ruins, and thus accumulated a lot of wealth. After grinding into powder and taken, it can moderately enhance inspiration. However, after just a few breaths, the shaking gradually subsided. Quality: Rare "He is my guardian knight. Unlike me, he is still a human being and still retains worldly desires." Type: Props Assad also felt the change in his eyes, and knew that his gift was not wrong, so he continued to open the remaining shell boxes. Fortunately, everything is still within his plan. The "greater goal" is to rise to a higher level and climb the long steps to reach the gods! ?However, to the ears of the sea tribe, these words obviously have a different meaning. That''s what happens when the polluter wakes up. Helas expression changed slightly: Father, what do you think? With the improvement of mysterious attributes, Xia En may not be aware of it himself, but from the perspective of others, both his body and the projected body have an indescribable weird temperament. But this kind of thing has a bit of a metaphysical quality after all. The sea tribesmen couldn''t help but hold their breath, and all their eyes fell on Xia En. To the ears of the sea tribe, the voice of the man in black robes sounded hoarse and deep. He was really afraid that Assad would not even try to dissuade him, so he would just take back the thank you gift. Ive given you so many treasures just after we met. I dont even dare to think about what else I want to give you later. He doesn''t think that a person who can sit in the position of patriarch will be a fool. Description: A pearl containing hidden spirituality, cultivated through a special method. "I take the initiative to clean up the polluters in your mouth, not for anything else, but for a greater goal!" Hearing this, the sea people couldn''t help but feel slightly moved. ??This mysterious pearl has the effect of a magic potion? In fact, everything Shane said was true. In fact, judging from the ratio between mystics and ordinary people, the latter are actually the majority. What kind of noble character is it to not ask for anything in return and not care about the eyes of others? Except for the messengers of gods, who else can have such a great character? ?Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and his eyes fell on the first shell box. After saying that, Assad immediately signaled the women of the Sea Tribe to hand over the thank-you gifts to An. ?This sentence seems to vaguely reflect the scene at this moment. Under the heavy armor, An looked confused. What a noble man. Okay, Im going to continue cleaning up the filth in this city. Combined with its image, it looks even more profound and mysterious. After leaving these words, under the awe-inspiring eyes of all the sea tribesmen, Xia En led An towards the depths of the mansion. Seeing this scene, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. ?These gold, silver and jewelry cannot be eaten, nor can they be spent on flowers. It is not a small sum accumulated over many years. ?Some people may be inspired by the secret sea in an instant, while some people may not be able to wait for this moment in their entire lives. ?The reason why Xia En did not put away the gift directly was of course not out of politeness, but to play the role of "divine envoy". There are still many good people in the world! Xia En was startled at first, but soon understood. I am now refers to the body of projection, and everything is naturally outside the body. Then, a little warm light lit up from there, dispelling the darkness, as if shining directly into everyone''s hearts. Shaan was "touched by his sincerity", pointed to An next to him, and said. Furthermore, the Sea Tribe is a closed ethnic group and rarely communicates with humans at sea. ?Xia Ens original plan was to spend a lot of money on the magic potion on Duke Island when he returned this time, but he didnt expect that these sea tribes actually gave him such a surprise! At this time, Xia Ens eyes couldnt help but become gentle when he looked at Assad and others. Secret Spirit Pearl ??Although for some secret path practitioners, they can be promoted without magic potions. Since the appearance of the sea girl, things have developed completely beyond his expectations, like a derailed steam train, roaring into a completely unpredictable stage of destiny. Assad chewed the word carefully, suddenly realized something, and nodded heavily. ?These sea tribes are the natives of Coral City who live in the sea. In terms of understanding of Coral City, no captain on the sea can compare with them. ?????? ?At first, An could barely guess that this sea tribe girl was actually an old acquaintance of the captain, and these sea tribesmen did not mean any harm. Not long after, a huge vibration was faintly heard in the dark corridor. In other words, everyone in the Hai tribe is a rich man. "However, for me now, treasures and money are just external possessions." "Your gifts are very good, and I really feel your thoughts..." If necessary, we will meet again. ?Xia En glanced at it, and information appeared on the panel. Most of them are exquisite and gorgeous gold and silver jewelry. Assad sighed again and recited a sentence from the Hui Sect scripture: "From now on, if there is no torch, He will be the only light." I want to report to Her Majesty the Queen that the radiance of the gods has once again shone into this cursed land. Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year to have New Years wine. The update is late, Im sorry everyone! (End of this chapter) Chapter 42 Who are you? Chapter 42 Who are you? Your actions have successfully increased the trust of the sea people, and their attitude towards you has become more and more respectful! The status "Worship of the Sea Tribe" has changed! Quality: inferiorordinary! As soon as Xia En finished this submersible, he saw a few lines of prompts flashing on the panel. This should be equivalent to... an increase in regional prestige? If its in the game, maybe some hidden missions or plots will be triggered next? ?! Hearing this, Joey blinked in confusion. Not long. There is a clear difference in temperament between normal sailors and pirates who lick blood from their swords. The sailors on the Giant were secretly frightened. Xia En felt vaguely that this man looked familiar, but he couldn''t remember his name for a while. You can see the scene on the opponent''s deck without using a telescope. ??If Xia En is not mistaken, this is the statue of the Storm Goddess. ?Through the lens, Xia En saw a female captain who was more than two meters tall. ??The female captain waved to Xia En and shouted loudly: "Captain Xia En, hello! I am Lena, the captain of the Giant. We met on Duke Island. It was fate that we met on the sea. How about coming to my ship for a drink? ?However, it can also be seen from the image of the people on this ship that they are most likely not pirates, but ordinary salvage ships. There are gold coins and silver coins from the previous era, as well as some materials containing extraordinary secret powers. ?With an agility attribute of up to 8 points, it is undoubtedly easy to do this kind of thing. In a daze, he once again heard the joyful cry of the Black Swan beneath him. ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes lit up slightly, and he wanted to find a place to try the effect of this "magic potion". After a moment, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote. At this time, An Mingming was startled when he saw Xia En walking out of the captain''s cabin. After all, approaching by disguised as an ordinary ship is also a hunting strategy of pirate ships. Some captains believe that carving a goddess statue on the bow of the ship can protect the safety of the ship and crew, deter evil creatures in the ocean, and bring good luck to themselves. ?Looking at An''s armor that was still leaking water, he couldn''t help but ask a question that had been on his mind for a long time. Just wearing it on your body has this effect... ??Leinas tone is calm and generous, and like her herself, it carries a sense of heroic spirit, which makes people feel good about her. ?Xia En sighed with some disappointment. Is this what is called enhanced inspiration? Also, occasionally, I will solve this problem after you are asleep. But at this moment, Joey suddenly pointed to the sea not far away and exclaimed. Mr. Captain, there is a ship approaching us! Or should we say that elves, like beautiful girls, are creatures that cannot poop? Hearing this question, An stayed in place for significantly longer. ?Before he could react, Xia En said first: "An, you are so slow." After his curiosity was satisfied, Shane smiled with satisfaction, and then he and Joey counted the harvest of this dive. Beside her, the man with the hooked nose had more complicated eyes, and he couldn''t help but speak. ??Shaan called Joey and the two with his hands, indicating that they were ready for battle. At the same time, he picked up the telescope and looked at the deck of the three-masted sailboat. Then, according to the description, if you grind it and swallow it, the level of inspiration enhancement will definitely be greater. Ive already wiped myself and changed my clothes, why did you just climb onto the deck? ??But for Xia En, the real treasure is none other than the smooth and milky white [Mysterious Spirit Pearl]! To be exaggerated, this is his ticket to the secret road. ?Xia Ens eyes narrowed and he turned to look in the direction Joey pointed. Even so, Xia En did not relax his vigilance. In front of the sailors of the two ships, Xia En responded calmly. The distance between the two ships is greatly shortened. "I see." ??Leina''s eyes were full of brilliance: "As expected of Captain Shane, he really deserves his reputation." ?From the time Ann boarded the Black Swan, Sean had never seen Ann take off her armor once. Not to mention the issue of cleanliness, people have to excrete, right? Most pirates trusted their muskets and scimitars more than their gods. On the blue sea, a three-masted sailboat, much larger than the Black Swan, was slowly approaching against the wind and waves. However, there is no pirate ship-like logo on the sail of this sailing ship. Not a pirate next moment. This armor is enchanted with a cleansing spell once a day, so it can be kept clean without washing. Beside her was a man with a hooked nose. Captain Shane, long time no see "Um?" Why does Mr. Captain look so sorry? ??But both parties tacitly maintained a safe distance and had no intention of contact. ?In addition, there are two people exploring the trophies of the chapel and the mansion. ??The three ornaments given by the Sea Clan are all of good quality, and most of them were once used by the nobles of the Shoton Kingdom. ??Xia En thought casually and walked out of the captain''s room quickly. He saw Joey counting the trophies on the deck. ?The sunlight reflected from the sea surface spreads a layer of glow over the figure of the ship''s bow, giving it an indescribable sacred quality. Generally speaking, pirate ships would not be carved with this type of bow image. ?An, who was all wet, stood on the edge of the deck, looking around towards the sea, as if looking for Xia En. What a skill! What courage! Xia En only felt that a certain power in his body became active, and his five senses became more acute, as if he could sense some invisible and intangible existence in the air. Im curious, does your armor need regular internal cleaning? ?Shaan didnt want to dwell on this topic for too long. Its okay, peoples physiques cannot be generalized, just pay attention next time. When writing these contents, his handwriting seemed a little awkward and no longer as vigorous and powerful as usual. Not to mention this strong physical fitness, the courage to get on the boat alone is definitely not something ordinary people can possess. In order not to expose the ability of "projection", Xia En took the initiative to break up with An, so he naturally thought that Xia En was still under the sea. Isnt it a good thing that we didnt meet pirates? Such antiques have always been popular among wealthy people on various islands. In total, it is also a considerable fortune. The bow of the ship is engraved with a faceless woman wearing a veil. ??Amid everyone''s astonished gazes, Xia En jumped across the gap between the two ships and landed lightly and smoothly in front of Reina. I didn''t expect the captain to move so fast. It was because I floated too slowly. As soon as you take possession of the Mystic Spirit Pearl, you will feel a faint cooling sensation flowing down your skin into your body. A single piece can be sold for at least dozens of silver snake coins. Among the better-quality ones, the selling price is even measured in gold dragon coins. He sprinted forward and jumped up from the deck. Captain Lenas warm invitation, how can I refuse? ?The behavior of actively approaching like this is obviously abnormal. In fact, after arriving in the sea area where Coral City is located a few days ago, Xia En also saw several ships from a distance. An''s mind stopped for a moment before she took out a pen and paper and wrote. ?Xia En looked puzzled and asked politely. "Who are you?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 43 【Promotion Ritual】 Chapter 43 [Promotion Ritual] "Who are you?" Shaans tone was very polite, and there was no problem in terms of etiquette alone. But when the hook-nosed man heard this, his face immediately turned red and his body was trembling slightly, as if he had been greatly insulted. ?Xia Ens expression was a little confused. Did I say something wrong? Why did this person become so popular within three seconds of meeting him? And Xia En chose to accept it happily. People with poor physical fitness will be exhausted just by diving, so they will not be able to explore dangerous underwater ruins. Suddenly, some strange feelings arose in his heart. "Have the opportunity!" ??Fried has feelings for the Black Swan. ?Like an invitation letter from an unknown source. But when such a person becomes a captain, many problems are prone to occur. There seemed to be some invisible tentacles approaching him, and he could vaguely hear the sound of waves that were different from the real sea water. The texture of this pearl is much softer than expected, and some milky white liquid oozes out after squeezing. ?There is also a strange man in armor who can''t get into the water at first sight. ?The reason why he is standing here has nothing to do with Fried, it is just for the sake of this generous female captain. Lena sighed in her heart, knowing that Fried''s idea was in vain, but she still smiled heartily and said: "First mate, bring up all the good wines I have collected, and ask the cook to make something delicious." ?For professional salvage ships, it is normal for several salvagers to go to sea together and cooperate with each other. With companions by your side, even if you encounter danger, there is still a possibility of survival. ?Fried was choked. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn''t spit them out or swallow them. If you miss this opportunity, I dont know when it will be until the next time you want to be promoted! ?Xia En is thinking quietly about the future direction. ?This means that he just happened to hit the threshold for promotion. ?However, the matter was over, and Xia En was too lazy to argue with him, and said calmly. Therefore, the crew members are more valuable than others. I must ensure that they can absolutely obey my orders. ?However, in Xia En''s opinion, replacing the goddess statue with Guan Erye might be more in line with her temperament? She is quite a hero among women. ?This childish and intimate voice undoubtedly comes from the soul of the Black Swan. Captain Shane, Im Freed, I was the salvage officer on your ship. ??And as time goes by, the sound of the waves seems to be fading. Xia En left the Giant with a full meal. You must know that salvage workers have extremely high physical fitness requirements. ?The sky is getting dark. ?In this deep sea, darkness is the absolute main theme, and no light can penetrate the endless water to reach this depth. So, do you have an impression? In fact, Shane really didnt remember this sailor named Freed. Suddenly, the illusory sound of waves in Xia Ens ears became extremely clear. Could it be that the salvager is the little girl with white hair and red eyes? ??Leina also led the crew to worship the Storm Goddess statue on the bow of the ship. He could feel that the omen was not strong. Putting aside the memory of the original owner, he had only met him once in total. Freed did not have obvious skin color features like Jason, so naturally he did not leave much impression on him. "Are you alright?" ?Being a captain or a boss is different from being a brother. The spirituality that is usually invisible and untouchable appears in his perception with incomparable clarity. ?Now, since Shane has changed his appearance and is a completely different person, Fried will inevitably have the idea of ??returning. Captain Lena, where is the wine you mentioned? It hasnt been served yet? ??Fried took two deep breaths and tried to make his tone calmer. ? Its a bit like the ribbon-cutting ceremony before the opening of a new store. ?According to Lena, this feast is a custom on the Titan. Every time it sails to the target sea area, it must be indulged in before the official salvage to boost the morale of the crew. Only when authority overrides friendship can we go further on this road. ??Fried smiled and was about to speak when he heard Shane continue: "Not only do I have salvagers on my ship, but they are also enough." Owner. ?They have just seen that there are only three people on the deck of the Black Swan including Xia En. ??But any wise captain would not mind having an experienced salvageman on his ship, right? Stable! Xia En suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out to be you." "It seems...Captain Shane is still a little resentful towards Little Fried." But now...Shane''s attitude made Fried feel cold. ?Furthermore, one salvager is obviously not enough. ?This ship carries the memories of him and his deceased brother. ??Had it not been for Shane''s previous poor luck and ability, coupled with Jason''s instigation and intimidation, he would not have left the Black Swan. Is this... a sign of promotion? It can be seen that Reina is a very loyal person. ?This is like a group of good friends starting a company together. It''s fine when it''s small, but once it grows to a certain size, all kinds of conflicts will arise, and it may even turn into enemies. ?That does not belong to any human language. Tomorrow is the first day of salvage, so we have to get off to a good start! Besides, the female captain Rena couldn''t help showing a strange expression and thought to herself. Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. next moment. Apologies to Captain Shane and a few words of advice. ?Shaan replied frankly: "Yes." ??But he prides himself on being a scarce talent, and there is a lack of manpower on the Black Swan. ?Although Fried also knew that this matter was definitely not that simple. Generally speaking, the captain will not dive and salvage himself. ?However, in the darkness, Xia En vaguely saw some faint blue light. However, given my personality, it is probably difficult to be completely impersonal. ?Hearing what Fried said, he quickly remembered that this person seemed to have said things like "I have no future with you" and "I don''t want to play childish sailing games with you" before. The feeling of weightlessness came suddenly. What if it can be done? Legend, not to mention Fried, even the captain Reina couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows. I have no idea of ??recruiting salvagers for the time being. "Um?" ?His thinking and perception are undergoing transformation under the wash of this gentle force. ?Back on the deck of the Black Swan, Xia En was a little emotional. There are only three people on your boat! ??Xia En didnt care what Freed thought and turned to look at Reina. After pounding it roughly for a few times, Xia En drank it all in one gulp. ?Fried''s heart moved. Their lines form a faint blue eye. Incomprehensible, indescribable. Xia En made a quick decision, ran to the kitchen, took out the [Secret Spirit Pearl], and started grinding it. ??Going into the sea alone, isn''t it just a matter of courting death? ?That little girl has thin arms and legs and doesnt look very strong. ??He specifically asked Captain Lena to get close to the Black Swan. Of course, he didn''t just want to say hello, but had his own selfish motives. ?His soul kept sinking and sinking, as if sinking into a dead, lightless deep sea. He was still unwilling to give up, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Captain Shane, I would like to ask, do you have a salvager on board?" As soon as these words came out, Fried was stunned. ?But at the same time, Xia En also heard a distant, vague, and untraceable call. He opened his eyes and saw a strange world. ??Is there no shortage of salvagers? How can it be? Immediately, the cool feeling spread rapidly along the esophagus to the limbs and bones. Please recommend and collect! ? (End of this chapter) Chapter 44 【Deep Sea Murloc】 Chapter 44 [Deep Sea Murloc] The salty sea breeze blows in your face, and the bright golden sunshine shines down, bringing a warm and welcoming touch. All senses are extremely real and clear. ??If it hadn''t been for the last second, the surrounding sky was still dark, Xia En might not have realized that he had entered the [Promotion Ritual]. What a wonderful feeling ?Xia En looked at his body and found that it was no different from reality. But apart from his clothes, he only had an ordinary iron sword for self-defense. After confirming his own status, Xia En looked around. Just as Xia En came up with this idea, several lines of information appeared on the panel. "No wonder some people say that it is the reflection of the ocean in the starry sky..." He is a master of tasks! simultaneously! The sword light flashed! ?Shaan can control the entire ship with just a thought. Until this moment, its limbs were still twitching and squirming, unwilling to rest. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The skin on its body is smooth and moist, and its hands and feet are webbed. Its huge, protruding fish eyes that never close are staring at Xia En with hostility. In fact, the key to promotion lies in getting the approval of [Secret Sea]. ?As a captain, its normal for me to take the boat with me, right? Trial mission: Isnt this the Black Swan? The little chic looks like the real thing. A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, he drew out the sword from his waist and took a step forward. Note: After strengthening, the components will undergo special irreversible changes, please use with caution. ?Even if you only have an ordinary iron sword in your hand, it is still easy to kill such a deep-sea murloc. After obtaining the [Shadow Sword Skill] from the prince''s valet, his swordsmanship level has improved dramatically. Xia En looked at this mysterious ocean quietly and forced himself to calm down. "Um?" Since he was still in the promotion trial, Xia En did not continue to study the use of this new material, but carefully observed the body of the deep-sea fishman. It''s just that this sea is different from the sea that Xia En is familiar with. ?Think about it, if you can carry extraordinary items for promotion, the difficulty will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. But what does this dirty prefix mean? What kind of beings have they been contaminated by? Then, Xia En looked further into the distance. ?Purple-black blood splashed out. Now, what do I do? Immediately, a dark black crystal precipitated from the fish-man''s body and submerged into Xia En''s body. Its like...this ship is sailing in the starry sky! This is the legendary [Secret Sea]. Ship Spirit! This ship is just a body without a soul. ?It is obviously liquid sea water, but it has an indescribable feeling of emptiness and clarity, like the dark night sky on a clear summer night. This material can only be obtained in special scenes. ?Outside the side of the ship, there is an invisible, slightly undulating sea surface. This is a fish-man with a strange shape. Filthy Secret Sea Crystal ?Quality: Rare ?Take the process of An''s promotion to the first level [Knight] as an example. His trial was to defeat the giant beast he encountered, thus proving his strength. But generally speaking, the trial tasks from level 0 to level 1 are not too difficult, and they usually involve defeating an enemy with neither high nor low strength. Kill the Deep Sea Murloc! What a perverted vitality! Description: The secret sea crystals polluted by strange forces cannot be absorbed directly, but can be stored in the "Eye of the Secret Sea" and used to strengthen the core components of the ship. ? ?Deep-sea fishmen are mutated marine creatures, so it is normal for [secret sea crystals] to exist in their bodies. In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow fell on the deck. After seeing its appearance clearly, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. ?Honestly speaking, it is more like the projection of the [Black Swan] in this mysterious space. After traveling for such a long time, Xia En is no longer the novice captain who didn''t know anything at first. It means that there must be more than one of them! ?Hush, crash, crash... ?Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a black shadow quickly climbing up the side of the ship. ?Underfoot, there is a slightly swaying wooden deck. ??If the trial ends here, its difficulty is still within a reasonable range. Xia En couldn''t think of the answers to these questions at the moment, so he simply put them aside for the time being and chose to store the filthy crystals. Pollution, Devouring, Evolution... ??The sword edge pierced the chest of the deep-sea murloc just right. ?Shaan was a little surprised. In other words, it is actually passing a certain trial. Why does the Black Swan appear in the [Promotion Ritual]? It has been detected that "filthy secret sea crystals" are present in the corpse. Do you want to store it? Is this a prompt that other mystics will see, or is it a privilege brought by [Eye of the Secret Sea]? ?However, after observing for a while, Shane also noticed that although the ship looked the same as the Black Swan in appearance, it was missing one of the most important things. ?Of course, the trials of each secret path are different. Xia En was secretly surprised: "With this kind of speed and strength...is it really something that ordinary people who haven''t been promoted can deal with?" ?Extraordinary items such as the [Black Stone Dagger] and [Hui Cult Amulet] are all missing. Destroy all the deep-sea murlocs who climb onto the ship! ?Especially when Xia En saw the dark swan statue on the bow of the ship, the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but tremble. Under the sea surface, there seemed to be a little bit of shimmering light, and gray-white cracks were expanding flickeringly. Crystal of filth: 1 Before he could think much, the deep-sea fishman let out a hoarse roar and pounced at him at a speed that exceeded that of an ordinary person! The difficulty of subsequent promotion trials will gradually increase, and there may even be an online trial where several Mystics are promoted together. ?Through the information he obtained from Duke Island and Ans personal experience, he already had a rough understanding of the specific process of the [Promotion Ritual]. ?At this moment, the sound of splashing water came from the sea. ?However, after being stabbed in the heart, the fishman still struggled for a long time, its large mouth full of sharp teeth constantly opening and closing, trying to bite off a piece of meat from Xia En''s body. If the trialist dies, or the ship''s durability drops to (50/100), the mission is deemed to have failed! ?Xia En was in a weird mood. Even so, there is still a very close connection between it and Shane. Xia En is quite confident about this. But dont forget, the task description on the panel is All deep-sea murlocs! Looking at these lines of text, Xia En was stunned. The sea water here is pure black. The word "recognition" sounds a bit abstract. ?These scenes are so familiar that they cant even be described as dj vu. As if to confirm Xia Ens conjecture, continuous sounds of water came from both sides of the ship. "ah?" Or is this a characteristic unique to the Captains secret path? What sounded at the same time was that kind of wild, sharp guttural sound. ?Besides, there are tall masts and swollen sails. Type: Material ?Those weird lights and shadows shroud the depths of the sea, making the sea even more magical. One after another, the deep-sea murlocs boarded the deck like a tide! Thanks to "Book Friends 20200804175755863" for the 200-coin reward and "How to Write the Name" for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much! At the same time, thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes! (End of this chapter) Chapter 45 hell difficulty Chapter 45 Hell Difficulty I dont know when it started. ?The sky became gloomy and the bright sunshine disappeared. A dark layer of mist hung over the ink-black sea. ?The wind and waves roared in, and the undulating waves slapped the Black Swan''s hull layer by layer. The sails were swaying, and even the hull was shaking violently in this chaotic wind. On the deck, a **** battle that no one knew about was still going on. ?Hum! The iron sword thrust out at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye. At this moment, several afterimages separated and pierced into the chests of several deep-sea murlocs. ?There seemed to be a kind of dark and creeping malice in those eyes. Xia En sighed in his heart. Xia Ens body was also scarred and stained with blood. ?Shaan couldnt help but complain: Its not fair, lets rematch! ??Had Xia En not obtained the swordsmanship insights from his close servant, it would have taken at least several years to understand this sword. At this time, under his feet, there were countless corpses of deep-sea murlocs. Purple-black blood soaked the deck, and broken and broken limbs could be seen everywhere. Goooo!! ?In Xia Ens eyes, the dark fish-man bowed his knees slightly. Different from the projected body when submerged, the feeling of this body is more real. Filth Crystal +5! ??Xia En twisted his wrist and used the force-relieving technique in swordsmanship to neutralize the impact of the fish-man''s blow. Its skin color is darker than other species of its kind, and its scales and mucous membranes are thicker. Its eyeballs are filled with countless scarlet bloodshot eyes, giving it a strong sense of oppression. ??Xia En threw the iron sword aside and looked around. Suddenly, his legs exerted force and his body moved like a ghost. ?Just cutting their throats and cutting off their limbs will not make them incapacitated. Only by piercing the heart and blowing the head off can these monsters be truly killed. The iron sword in Xia En''s hand was broken into two pieces. He wanted to take advantage of this time to collect the [Filth Crystals] from the corpses, and also collect some information about this mysterious sea area. But according to the rumors about the Mystic Path at sea, once you fail to pass the promotion trial, there will be very serious sequelae, and it may even cause the Mystic Path to be cut off. Facing the sword light, the pitch-black fishman let out a weird low roar. Wait a minute, isnt [Secret Sea] also a sea? ?However, although the jet-black murloc is dead, the trial is not over yet. At this time, the last fishman on the deck had his limbs chopped off by Sean and tied to the mast. Even with his numerical value far exceeding that of ordinary people, he felt great pressure at this time. ??This kind of fishman is the most difficult to deal with since Xia En traveled through time. Although you may not really die after dying in the [Secret Sea]. ?Such an intense battle made even Xia En sweat profusely, breathe quickly, and consume a lot of energy. An exceptionally tall fishman jumped onto the deck. What a wicked thing. Several rays of swift sword light suddenly bloomed, briefly illuminating the ship shrouded in darkness. Xia En glanced at the long sword in his hand and saw a few tiny cracks on the sword. Thank you for your hard work, old man. till the end No matter what, this level of difficulty is a bit too exaggerated. Psychological pressure is naturally different from usual. Ordinary fish-men have 1 unit of filthy crystals in their bodies, while pitch-black fish-men have 5 units. What took its life was a sharp shadow that had disappeared in the air. Dang! Xia En raised his sword to block. ?Its body leaped high into the sky, turning into a blurry black shadow and swooping down from a high place. He has not forgotten that once the ship''s durability drops to 50, this trial will also fail! We must fight quickly! I havent been this exhausted for a long time. A "click" sound. I dont know how long it has been. This is the real killing move of [Shadow Sword Technique]Shadow Sword! Hidden under the light of the sword, killing people invisibly. ??The deck was in a mess, with fragments of fishmen''s corpses covering almost every corner, and two or three hanging on the crumbling mast. ?Xia Ens eyes were solemn. ? ? A bit of human mockery flashed in the dark fish-man''s eyes. It was about to reach out and tear open the human''s chest, but suddenly its body stiffened, and a cold pain came from the neck. A line of blood gradually emerged from its neck. The effect is very good. Even so, he couldn''t help but take a few steps back, his mouth hurting slightly. ??The harsh friction sound continued, but the sword light was still unable to cut off all the bones. ?Shaan shook his head, trying to dispel the weird feeling in his heart. ?Shaan walked to the last fish-man and was about to end its life, when a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind. ?Although I dont know the specific effect of this material, I think its not too bad. There is not much time left for this sword. ??If the battle continues for a long time, Xia En will be fine, but the projection of the Black Swan will suffer. When the long sword collided with the fish-man''s hands, it made a sound like metal friction, which shows the strength of the scales on its body. Crystal of filth: 112! ?With this calculation, Xia En just killed more than a hundred murlocs! Whose first promotion trial is so difficult? Youve come, you cant leave empty-handed, right? Filth Crystal +1! ?Shaan looked at the murlocs wreaking havoc on the deck, stepped forward, and reaped their lives like a **** of death. ?This is just an ordinary iron sword after all, not an extraordinary item. It is not easy for it to last for so long. The next moment, the deck cracked. Immediately afterwards, the whole ugly head slid backwards, hit the deck with a "bang", and rolled with a gurgling sound. Shaans purpose for doing this is simple. There is no doubt that it is the mini-BOSS among the deep-sea murlocs. Filth Crystal +1! Xia En made up his mind, took a deep breath, and slowly raised the sword in his hand. The fish-man corpse on one side had just fallen, and a foul and foul wind hit from behind on the other side. Xia En walked from the bow to the stern, watching the numbers in front of him keep beating, feeling a sense of joy in his heart. This is also the first time that Xia En has used it in actual combat. Shadow SwordsmanshipSword skillShadow! ??These murlocs'' chests were bleeding profusely, but they did not fall down. They let out terrifying screams and stared at the enemies in front of them with their bulging eyeballs. The eyes of the fishman''s head were still filled with astonishment. Just by looking at them, I feel like they are being polluted and eroded by some kind of power. ??Moreover, the jet-black fishman''s attack just now caused several cracks to appear on the deck. ??Besides there were other murlocs climbing onto the deck and damaging the hull. Having said that, Xia En was actually vaguely aware that the hellish difficulty of this trial might be related to his own particularity. It is not difficult to see that it is only a matter of time before the sword is damaged. There is definitely a bug in the difficulty of this trial, right? Strictly speaking, this move is beyond the scope of ordinary swordsmanship and relies on the extraordinary power of shadow. ?That is a cold hatred directed at all living things. In just the blink of an eye, he was behind the fishman. ??If it were a Mystic who had never been promoted, he would probably kneel down when he met the first deep-sea murloc. In an instant, pale bone spurs suddenly emerged from its body, blocking the sword light. Its almost time to get back to reality. Fortunately, the self-healing power brought by [High-speed Regeneration] greatly enhanced his endurance, allowing him to fight fiercely for such a long time. The power of this jet-black fish-man is far superior to that of its kind! It just so happens that I am here and the Black Swan is also here. So, is it possible to conduct [submersible]? (End of this chapter) Chapter 46 First level [Captain]! Chapter 46 Level 1 [Captain]! have to say. ??Xia En''s sudden idea can no longer be described as bold, and can even be called "shocking." Other mystics have completed the trial mission and cant wait to leave this space and return to reality. How good is it that he still wants to explore the depths of this secret sea? But when Xia En thought about it carefully, he felt that this idea was indeed feasible. Deep Sea DivingThe essence of this talent is to generate a projection in the sea water under the ship and then explore it. ?Now, isnt the Black Swan sailing on the [Secret Sea]? Theoretically, submersible navigation is completely possible! ?Furthermore, even if the projected body dies, it will not cause any damage to the main body. No matter what dangers there are under the secret sea, you can explore it safely. It is a sure-profit business! ?As soon as this idea came up, it grew like a weed in Xia En''s mind. He also knew that diving here might not go smoothly, and the body of the projection might be crushed as soon as it entered the sea. But the curiosity in his heart was like a kitten scratching its paws, tickling his heart. How about try it? ?Shaan glanced at the panel. The number of dives at this time has not been refreshed. He was not in a hurry and simply sat on the deck, closed his eyes and rested his mind to regain his energy and strength. ?At this time, Xia En was thankful that the deep-sea murloc''s vitality was strong enough that it had not died even after having its limbs cut off for so long. after a while. Xia En looked at the panel again, and the [Deep Sea Submarine] on it was brightly lit. Theres a show! Xia En''s heart moved, and he touched it lightly without hesitation. Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Start diving? "yes." The next moment. The familiar feeling of weightlessness came over. The only difference from usual times is that Xia En''s body does not seem to be sinking, but like it is constantly rising. He had no time to realize the difference between the two, and his body suddenly stopped. ?Xia En slowly opened his eyes and looked around. ?The scene that greeted him shocked him inexplicably. This is a deep darkness, just like the deep sea of ??death he felt when he entered the promotion ritual. It is so vast that its depth cannot be measured. ?However, it is not pure darkness here. I saw that there were countless existences emitting shimmering light beneath the projected body. ?They are either star-like light spots, slender cracks, or strange things with irregular shapes. ??Although their light is fragile and easily extinguished. But when they come together, they are like a turbulent river of stars, magnificent and vast. Like stars shining in the night sky. Is this the true face of [Secret Sea]? Xia En was shocked and greatly touched. But at the same time, more doubts arose in his mind. What are those light spots? Also, where did the previous deep-sea murlocs come from? With such doubts, Xia En approached the nearest light point. After getting closer, he was able to see the full extent of the light spot. This is a huge luminous body shaped like a bubble. As for the scene inside the bubble, it is blocked by the hazy light and cannot be seen. "What is this?" Xia En became more and more confused. ?At this moment, a distant and cold gaze fell on him. ?Xia En''s body stiffened suddenly. He could sense that this gaze came from the dark depths of the sea, and it had a temperature that could freeze the soul. In an instant, Shane''s mind was roaring, and chilling whispers were ringing in his ears, as if there were invisible tentacles prying open his brain, stirring up his rationality. "not good!" ?Xia En bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to force himself to wake up. But at the same time, in the dark secret sea, a huge, hazy shadow began to swim slowly. His size is so huge. Even with the help of the light of the "Galaxy", only a corner of its outline can be seen. Dont go and see! Dont go and see! ??Xia En reminded himself with his remaining sense, forcibly turning his neck and looking at the bright light bubble not far away. ?His intuition told him that by entering the inside of this bubble of light, he could avoid the indescribable mysterious sea monster. Xia En swam using his hands and feet and crashed into the giant bubble. It''s like breaking through a barrier. ??The scene in front of Xia En''s eyes changed suddenly again. ?He seemed to be above a city. Looking down, you can see high and low houses standing among them, all in the ancient medieval style, even more retro than the buildings on Duke Island. ?Pedestrians of all kinds walked through the streets like ants, and the noise of people could be vaguely heard. Everything seems real and alive. But, suddenly. ?Some people in the crowd looked up to the sky, with a look of horror on their faces and exclaimed. Immediately afterwards, the crowd began to panic. ?Some people ran away in a hurry, some were crying and laughing, and some were kneeling on the ground, muttering words as if praying for something. The peace and tranquility just now fell apart in the blink of an eye. Xia En was puzzled: "What happened?" Has some disaster struck? Before he could think about it clearly, a man wearing a crown and holding a scepter flew into the air from the tallest building in the city. He raised his head, looked at Xia En, and said in a majestic and deep voice. "leave!" Whoever you are, get out of here! Dont pollute the last pure land! ?This voice contains the secret power of thunder, forming a powerful repulsive force that gently but firmly repels Xia En''s consciousness. Subsequently, Xia En was squeezed out by a huge bubble of light. boom! The next second, his body seemed to be hit by something in the darkness, and a sharp pain came. Submarine is over! Trophy: None You have experienced the baptism of the secret sea, peeked into a corner of "reality", and your soul has undergone some kind of transformation. Black Swan "Mysterious" +3! Unlock Talent: Lightless Touch! Quality: Rare Description: Your perception in the dark is greatly enhanced. Even in a lightless environment, you can still "see" things around you. ás darkness and shadow attribute affinity have been greatly improved! The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to look for light. ?On the deck, Xia En opened his eyes, the expression on his face was still a little dazed. ??This dive lasted only a short time, but the amount of information it brought was extremely large. It was like having a fantastic, magnificent, and bizarre dream. The giants in the deep sea, the world in the bubbles of light, the words from the king''s mouth...every point is worth pondering. Why does it feel like I just left the novice village and entered a full-level dungeon? ?Xia En thought in a weird mood. The good news is that we know a little more about the world. The bad news is that understanding it wont change anything. Xia En''s mentality quickly calmed down: "Let''s explore the world under the secret sea later." Soon, he decisively ended the life of the fishman on the mast. An indescribable feeling came over me. With the return of his soul, a wave of secret power surged through Xia En''s body. Brings double sublimation of soul and body! Trial mission completed! The promotion ritual is over! Secret Career: Captain (Level 1)! (End of this chapter) Chapter 47 A thrilling combo! Chapter 47 A thrilling combo! An ancient and mysterious wave rolled in from an unexplorable place, washing away Shane''s body and soul. The fatigue caused by the previous **** battles all dissipated like smoke under the baptism of this mysterious power. Instead, there was a surging sense of power, as if all the strength in the body could not be used up. Even the soul seems to have undergone a sublimation and become different from before. Have never experienced such a wonderful feeling! Xia En opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the dim kitchen. Is this what it feels like to be a first-order [captain]? And its other effect is even more powerful. Note: This effect can be stacked with "Captain''s Majesty" and can only be used once a day. When the ship soul grows to a certain level, perhaps a mysterious transformation will occur, right? ??As Xia En spoke, the indescribable weird temperament in him finally subsided like a tide, which also made An feel a little relieved. Description: While keeping the original effect unchanged, the following effects are added ?Xia En pushed open the kitchen door and ran into a tall figure in armor. After all, morale is still very important in naval battles of this era. Owner Effect 2: When you are on the ship, the ship''s performance in all aspects will be slightly improved. Soon, a voice came timidly from a confused consciousness. For ordinary captains, it is very practical and can raise the combat power of the entire ship to a higher level. His heart was filled with excitement, and he looked at the panel expectantly. I am the ship! ?This voice is very childish, like a newborn baby. ?In terms of appearance alone, Xia En is not much different from before. Effect 1: The captain''s majesty envelopes the entire ship. When you are on the ship, the morale of all crew members is greatly improved. ??It was also the same as the sound Xia En heard after taking [Secret Spirit Pearl] before. Not far away, Joey was undressed and leaning against the wall, curled up into a small ball, as if he was fast asleep. Owner! Owner! Summon the ship spirit for blessing, and it can also be superimposed with [Captains Majesty]. ? ? If you have to face the captain in that state all the time, the pressure will not be great. Xia En said gently: "From today on, I can hear your heart." ?Those beautiful eyes are much deeper. Brings buffs to the crew and ship respectively. This is our exciting combo! Xiao Hei''s tone was obviously high, showing his joy. An noticed the movement behind him and turned around quickly. The gaze cast from it seems to come from the unseen deep sea or the vast starry sky, with indescribable darkness and majesty. What really alarmed An was the change in his temperament. Effect 2: When necessary, you can summon the protection of the ship spirit, and all attributes will be blessed. The improvement value depends on the attributes of the ship itself. Owner! There seemed to be a mysterious atmosphere that did not belong to this world, lingering around the captain. Communication with it is conducive to enhancing feelings and improving the efficiency of obtaining ship soul experience. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! This effect is equivalent to giving a "morale increase" BUFF to all crew members. Xiao Hei, its me! At this time, a lot of information is rushing past like a waterfall. at this time. Morale gain is manifested in the form of immunity to pain to a certain extent, increased mental resistance, and a small increase in speed and strength. Coupled with its triggering conditions, it can be triggered on the ship, and it can almost be regarded as a permanent buff state. Seeing this scene, Xia En felt warm in his heart. Unlock talent: Communicate with ship souls! After the ship soul level is increased, you may be able to unlock some new abilities. After chatting casually with Xiao Hei for a few more words. Sir, congratulations on your successful promotion! Xia En smiled and said, "Good luck." The newborn ship soul is like a blank piece of paper. Only when it truly grows up can it truly communicate. ?The reason why many pirates are fierce in battle is because they are not afraid of death, highlighting the word "reckless". ?However, there is nothing wrong with being a numerical monster. ?However, due to the small number of Shane''s crew, this effect seems a bit useless. After reading the descriptions of these talents, Xia En gave his own evaluation. An''s heart was full of awe: "As expected of the captain!" The two new effects added to [Captains Prestige] look simple and unpretentious, but they are very suitable for the profession of [Captain]. Seeing Xia En at this time, An couldn''t help but feel a little frightened. He bowed his head respectfully, took out a pen and paper and wrote. On the other side, Joey also woke up and said in surprise: "Mr. Captain, have you been promoted successfully? That''s great!" ? Just as what is said on the panel, after being able to communicate with the ship spirit, it will undoubtedly strengthen the bond between oneself and Xiao Hei and speed up the training speed. After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Xia En first touched the wall of the cabin with his hand, calmed down, and carefully felt the soul contained in it. Obviously, the two of them have been waiting here since they found themselves entering the [Promotion Ritual]. "If you have anything you want to say, you can tell me. Don''t hide it in your heart. This is my duty as a captain!" The improvement rate shall not exceed 10% of the original attributes. ?This is like raising a child, you have to do it step by step and don''t rush. As for the new talent of [Communicating Ship Soul] Xia En was a little surprised. Increasing the attributes of the ship is equivalent to increasing Xia En''s attributes. One promotion can bring about such a big transformation... But perhaps because it is too immature, it seems to only say the word "master" and keeps calling it like its mother. These effects...are all good. It would be pretty cool to just crush it with absolute strength, wouldnt it? Even if you have thousands of secrets and moves, I just want to ask you one question: Do you have any invincibility? ?Shane fully understands this. Your personal attributes have increased! Description: Effect 1. You can capture the emotions and words of the ship spirit and convey your thoughts to it. And, its a bit of an unexpected surprise. Its just that the body under the clothes has become stronger and stronger. Simply put, it is to double Xia Ens already perverted attributes! Double bonus, simple and crude, but easy to use! Although it can only be used once a day, its effect is worthy of this limitation. It feels like an extreme state such as overclocking and overloading. Its normal to have some limitations. Xia En thought secretly and couldn''t help complaining: "It seems that I am going further and further down the road of weird numbers." Just by looking at him like this, a few whispers sounded in An''s ears. ?Quality: Rare In comparison, its second effect is more useful. The talent "Captain''s Majesty" has been changed! She was completely unaware of the change in Xia En''s temperament. She just felt that Mr. Captain was more powerful than before, so she said with a smile. By the way, it took you so long to get promoted. You must be hungry, right? Ill cook for you right now! (End of this chapter) Chapter 48 Binding investment, and strengthening Chapter 48 Binding Investment and Strengthening It didnt take long. Xia En sat at the table, looking at the fragrant food on the table in front of him, looking a little dazed. It is hard to imagine that not long ago, he was fighting a group of terrifying deep-sea murlocs, and even broke into an indescribable mysterious deep sea. ?However, the warm scene in front of him also made Xia En feel a kind of spiritual peace. The shadows caused by the previous exploration of the depths of the [Secret Sea] gradually dissipated. It is said that some long-distance ships will carry priests from the Church of the Deep, seemingly to protect the mental health of the sailors. ?Xia En touched his chin and thought to himself. Quality: Rare Instances of crew members being contaminated, mentally alienated, and turning into strange monsters are widely spread across the Seven Seas. Bind! Talents: Sea water affinity, graceful singing voice, magic affinity Acquire talent: Sea water affinity! Mr. Captain? ?In just one month, you can go from a thin young man who owes a huge sum of money to a first-class captain with amazing physical fitness. No one will believe it if you spread the news. Secret Career: None ?Here, several sturdy artillery pieces are installed, quietly waiting for others to use them. Ahem, no, no. Crew: Joey (bound) As if aware of his slightly rude look, Joey turned around awkwardly: "Is there something stuck on my face?" It''s just that even she has a desire for power and wants to become a more useful person to Mr. Captain. ?Xia En was a little surprised at first, but after careful calculation of the time, it turned out to be true. So its only been a month? I believe you have such potential. In her impression, all those who are associated with the secret path of magic are extremely noble. On Duke Island, all of them are famous figures. Thinking about it this way, will you have to trick a priest into boarding the ship another day? ?Xia En didnt hesitate much and thought silently in his heart. Xia En coughed twice and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what secret career path does Joey plan to take?" It''s a bit like an intern in a company. He can do anything, but his level is only that. Sturdy single cannon "Furthermore, I will also bring you relics, materials, and even magic potions related to magic. This is regarded as my investment in you." Obviously, this [sea water affinity] is the talent extracted from Joey. ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression couldn''t help but feel a little weird. The bloodline of Siren is born with a certain amount of extraordinary secret power. If you really want to count, there are still ordinary people on the boat, but I am actually the only one left. ?Since Joey doesnt know how to choose, let yourself choose for her! Isnt it one of the captains responsibilities to properly explore the talents of the crew? Magic? ?Shaan was not surprised by this. In other words, Joey can temporarily transform into a siren, the legendary sea monster? She had only experienced this kind of trust from Mr. Captain. Description: Your affinity for sea water has increased, and your swimming speed in sea water has increased slightly. Bloodline: Siren (rich) Similar to the situation when he was first bound to the Black Swan, it seemed as if an invisible bond was established between him and Joey. The [Magic Affinity] on the panel also shows that Joey has talent in this area. ?For example, before An was promoted, there was already a display of [Knight (Level 0)] on the panel, indicating that he had long been determined on his own path, and all he lacked was an opportunity for promotion. ?However, it can be seen from the proficiency level that Joey has only learned these skills and has not delved into a higher level. "what occupation" Hearing this, Joey was slightly moved. Perhaps at this time. Can simultaneously enhance the effect of the talent "Seawater Control". After reading it, Xia Ens expression became even weirder. ??Joy''s tone was a bit inferior: "A profession like a mage? Can I become that kind of person?" ??Joy is certainly not dissatisfied with his odd job. What Xia En is a little concerned about is the [Sirenization]. But none of her skills are considered specialization, which makes it impossible for her to make a choice. ??Joy said that he has a special constitution and cannot go into the sea, but he has the talent of [sea water affinity]? Mr. Knight also became a Mystic a few days ago. You have bound crew member "Joy"! O sea, I have returned! One of the core components. Different from Ans situation, Joey is good at everything, which means she has the possibility of development in every career. "it is as expected" Whether it is long-range attack or defense against enemy spells, spellcasters can play an important role. Another point. ??Joy raised his head and saw Shane looking at him with gentle and trusting eyes. Crew "Joy" has been living on the Black Swan for a month, is he bound? In this mysterious sea, mental health is as important as physical health. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "Perhaps, you can consider a secret career related to magic." ??There is still a spellcaster missing on this ship! As we all know, a powerful spellcaster is enough to determine the outcome of a naval battle. Skills: Unknown swordsmanship, cooking skills, shooting skills, hull repair skills, craftsmanship, archeology, navigation, sirenization... Her role seems to be only doing odd jobs, cooking, and pickling salted fish. Good guy, you really know a little bit about everything! ?The content of the [Skills] column alone dazzled Xia En, and it was even richer than his skills. ?Shaan walked behind one of the cannons and touched the solid barrel with his hand. Xia En glanced at the white-haired girl not far away and felt a little weird. White hair, red eyes, fish tail and human body? It seems that...it''s not unacceptable? The most important thing is that you dont know what you want to do. Why not? After eating, he also gave directions to the confused crew members. Xia En came to a corner of the cabin alone. ?Shaen was thinking about these various things, but Joey across the dining table had a complicated mood. The captain has been promoted, which is of course a good thing. He opened the panel and looked carefully. ??A prompt flashed in front of Xia En''s eyes. ?No matter which version, Master Fa is still the master! Joy''s little face was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head and said, "I don''t know." But at this moment, Xia Ens words rang in her ears. ??Xia En has not forgotten that after binding a crew member, you can obtain some of the crew members'' abilities and attributes. Shanes idea is simple. ??For a little sailor like me, who has a humble status, relies on others, and looks strange, it is really out of reach. Soon, Joey''s eyes quickly became determined: "Mr. Captain, thank you, I will work hard!" It can be strengthened with "Filthy Crystals". The degree of strengthening is determined by the total number of crystals invested! Is it strengthened? (End of this chapter) Chapter 49 Keep visiting! Chapter 49 Continue to visit! Note: After strengthening, the components will undergo special irreversible changes, please use with caution! I dont know if its Xia Ens illusion, but this line of comments seems to be a little bloody, with a strong sense of warning. It''s a bit like the risk warning that appears when browsing certain websites. In this regard, Xia En naturally chose... ?Continue visiting! ?However, he actually did not choose randomly. Furthermore, a component has emerged that was not available before. Shane is still the little girl? ?But whats strange is that there is a vague and mysterious black figure next to An, like a person wearing a black robe. But the two people in front of them seemed to be unaware of it and were still walking through the city without any scruples. "ah?" But, then again. The mysterious and strange dark power flowed through Xia En''s palm and was injected into the body of the cannon. Since [Filth Crystal] can only be obtained in special scenes, Xia En only invested 5 points of Filth Crystal to test the waters. Strange...when did he dive into the sea? So fast ?Fried was frightened and had some bad premonitions. Crystal of filth-5! ?It is precisely because of this ability that he can call himself one of the best salvagers on the Titan. In fact, Fried had similar doubts. To be on the safe side, Xia En decided to use this artillery as a test product. ??Fried opened his eyes and looked for An''s figure. What about people? Not for anything else, just out of a mentality of not admitting defeat. Shane lied! There are simply not enough salvagers on the Black Swan, and there may not even be one salvager at all! ?Once this is taken as the premise, the reason why Xia En would do this is also obvious. boom! A dull sound resounded under the water. Do you want to die? ?However, it only lasted for a while. Xia En patted the cannon body and said with relief: "Give it a try and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle!" ??After all, this is the first time Xia En has been strengthened, and he doesn''t know what the so-called "special change" is. ??Fried suppressed his doubts and decided to follow these two people. ??If an uncontrollable mutation occurs, just dismantle the cannon. Dark light flows on its body, and the dark muzzle seems to become deeper. The barrel of the cannon is trembling gently, as if... the breathing of a living creature! Hence, there is no need to display components that are deemed non-replaceable. Combining what Shane said and his attitude on the boat before, Fried came to a conclusion On the deck of the Giant. He is not a sea tribe, but he has mastered a special secret method of breathing, so he can move in the sea for a long time. Arrived here, Fried was extremely vigilant, carefully guarding the surrounding corals, and greatly slowed down his swimming speed. next moment. The strength of An on the shore is far better than mine, but in the sea, the situation is different! ?Once they are disturbed, they can only flee in a panic, which basically declares the failure of this dive. I saw the armored knight walking to the edge of the deck, and then jumped straight into the sea! Xia Ens eyes were full of expectation. Two days? But its strange to say that they didnt come to the waters of Coral City to salvage? "Who is that?" Dive into the sea and the world immediately becomes very different. To confirm this conjecture, Fried took off his shoes and coat without thinking much, picked up a harpoon and jumped into the sea. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Soon, Fried found the armor-clad figure in the distance. A sailor who knew him well waved his hand and said jokingly: "Don''t tell me, this Black Swan is really well maintained. It doesn''t look like an old ship at all. No wonder people miss it so much!" He looked at the Black Swan not far away and snorted in his heart: "Huh, sooner or later you will regret missing a crew member like me!" At this moment. ??On the deck of the Black Swan, a tall figure wearing armor walked out. How could someone jump into the sea wearing this kind of armor? ??Fried''s eyes widened slightly and he realized something. ?After thinking about this, Fried''s mentality instantly became balanced. But now, with [Filth Crystal], there is the possibility of transforming it. A corpse parasitized by corals was disturbed by the water flow. It suddenly stood up, revealing a colorful and terrifying face, and rushed towards the two of them in a weird posture! Not long after, Fried followed the two of them to the coral-covered city. Hey, Fried, youre looking at the wind again! ?His tone was a little envious, but then he was curious. He had a hunch that the enhanced artillery would bring quite a surprise. He knew that there were strange and dangerous monsters hidden in this city. This is the experience gained by countless salvagers in their lives. He tried his best to look around, and then saw the two figures below again. ?But soon, people saw a shadowy figure swimming under the sea, and its movements were extremely vigorous and smooth. ??Fried was wiping the cannonballs under his feet with a coarse cloth, and his eyes fell on the Black Swan not far away intentionally or unintentionally. ??But the changes in this artillery still exceeded his expectations. ?The sailor was surprised: "It''s An? What does he want to do?" ?Fried looked down again and was stunned. Estimated strengthening time: 48 hours! Could it be that he is the salvager on the Black Swan? The distance between them has more than doubled. Why havent I seen them going into the sea in the past two days? An indescribable transformation immediately occurred in the cannon. But he gritted his teeth and dived into the sea at full speed. Everyone on the Giant who saw this scene exclaimed in surprise. At this time, in the [Core Components] column on the panel, a + sign appears after all components, which means that they can all be enhanced by [Filth Crystal]. ?An is quite famous on Duke Island, and his eye-catching appearance makes him very recognizable. ?Shaan guessed that the reason why the keel was not shown on the panel before was because it was the core of the hull. If you wanted to disassemble and replace it, it would be better to just remanufacture the entire ship. Im just curious how they can sail the boat with just three people. ??The sailor grinned: "Either Captain Shane is a mystic, or he has obtained some relic that controls the ship." Seeing this, Fried frowned slightly: "Don''t they even have this basic common sense?" ??Fried''s face froze, but he still said firmly: "I didn''t mean that." Ah Pao, please bear with it, it may hurt a little. The raging water rolled upwards, setting off waves. Solid wooden keel (normal) (+) ?The distance between the two ships was not far, and he had been secretly paying attention to the movements on the Black Swan. If someone on the ship dived into the sea, he would not miss it. Strengthen! He did not want to let himself return to the Black Swan, so he made up such a lie to take revenge on himself. The next moment, what he was most worried about happened! Just because of the distance, Fried couldn''t see his appearance clearly. The morning of the next day. ??I saw the man in black robe simple and unpretentious swinging his straight fist. With just one punch, the body of the coral monster fell apart and turned into countless chaotic fragments. What was also shattered was what Fried called common sense! (End of this chapter) Chapter 50 Are you also afraid? Chapter 50 Are you scared too? ?Looking at the coral fragments flying in the sea, Fried fell into deep thought. He has personally encountered such coral monsters, so he understands their difficulty more clearly. ?Hard coral is the natural armor of monsters, which is strong enough to withstand attacks from most weapons. Its powerful regeneration ability makes them linger. ??Moreover, if you are injured by a coral monster, you must leave the sea immediately. Otherwise, the body will undergo irreversible alienation. Can''t be defeated, can''t be killed, and can''t be offended! It is a true portrayal of this kind of monster. But right now ?That man in black robe blew it up with just one punch? How much effort does it take to do this? If this punch falls on me... Just imagining that scene, Fried couldn''t help but shudder and trembled all over. Who is that person? After witnessing the opponent''s extraordinary speed and strength, the ordinary and confident Fried finally changed his mind. He even regretted that he should not have been so reckless in breaking into the sea. What happened next was completely beyond Frieds expectations. I saw the two people walking swaggering through the Coral City, breaking corals and destroying houses from time to time, causing a lot of noise. Its more like actively provoking them than not caring about the coral monsters! Such provocations are indeed effective. Not long after, coral monsters woke up from the shadows one after another and rushed towards the two of them one after another. The number was so huge that it almost turned into a tide of corpses. Just watching this scene, Fried couldn''t help but feel creepy and his scalp numb. ??But in front of the zombie tide, the man in black robe did not retreat but advanced. He took out a giant iron hook and swept away the monster group directly. With just one swing, a large number of coral monsters were killed, cut in half, or directly smashed into pieces, thus clearing a large open space. next moment. ??The figure of the man in black robe turned into a shadow, moving in and out of the tide of corpses at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to catch. No monster can block his progress, and no monster can block one of his attacks. Gradually, the seawater was vigorously stirred by the heavy iron hooks, forming chaotic and violent turbulence. Involves, crushes, and crushes any coral monster that comes close. The most extreme violence, the purest killing! ?The bright sunlight penetrates the sea water and shines into the colorful and distorted coral city, coating it with a layer of white brilliance. Its just that today, the city has a little less weird atmosphere than usual. ?Just because, in a corner of the city, a group of underwater "storms" are raging. ?Multiple corals, skeletons, and wooden blocks... rolled together with the turbulent currents, forming a spectacular scene like a "seaspout." ?Several ancient buildings soaked in seawater, already in disrepair and crumbling, were baptized by this "storm" for no reason at this time, and finally could not bear it anymore. It shook twice and slowly collapsed! Boom ?Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the sea water suddenly became more turbid. When the turbulence gradually subsided, a man in black robes was standing under the coral fragments falling like snowflakes. A solemn and majestic atmosphere permeated the sea water. Humble knight in armor, waiting behind him. The throne made of coral and corpses was trampled under his feet! When other salvagers from the Titan rushed to the water, this was what they saw. ?They stared at this scene blankly, unable to recover for a long time. What on earth is this Is that man in black robe the captain of the Black Swan? This kind of power...is worthy of being a secret person! Moreover, ordinary first-level secret path practitioners may not be able to do such a thing. The salvagers quickly guessed the truth and were in awe. ?Compared to those vague rumors, Xia En''s actual combat prowess is more convincing. At this time, someone noticed Fried not far away. ?But at this moment, he did not show the high fighting spirit of before. Instead, he looked pale and lost his mind. ?It was as if he had completely recognized the reality. Everyone can understand his mood. How could Fried not regret missing such a powerful captain with great potential? ?Shane was neither aware of nor interested in what these bystanders thought. At this time, he was immersed in the joy of the harvest. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? Absorb! Absorb! Absorb again! Ship Soul Experience +1%! Ship Soul Experience +0.5%! Ship Soul Experience +0.7%! Xia En walked over the patches of coral corpses. Every step he took, blue [Secret Sea Crystals] would precipitate and submerge into his body. I step on the horse and **** in the breath! ?Although the quality of the monsters here is generally not high, most of the monsters only give 1% experience, sometimes even less than 1%. But there are so many of them that they cant stand it! ?In such a short period of time, Xia En''s experience bar suddenly jumped up. The rise is gratifying! Until all the corpses have been swept away. Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (73%) Black Swan''s "Speed" +1! Black Swan "Sturdiness" +1! Talent: High-speed regeneration (common) (rare)! ?Xia En calculated carefully that just by slaying monsters this time, the experience value increased by more than 20%. ?According to this efficiency, if you refresh it twice more, the ship spirit will be upgraded to LV2! but ?Shaan glanced at the surrounding coral communities with his peripheral vision. He was vaguely aware that the cold peeks hidden under the buildings seemed to be filled with a bit of fear. Some entities were even quietly moving away from him. So you are also afraid? ?Shaan was quite surprised. He thought the coral monster was a painless creature like the "Super Beast"! For ordinary people, being afraid of coral monsters may be a good thing. But for Xia En, this undoubtedly increases the difficulty of killing monsters. As long as I take the initiative to provoke them, they may not be so obedient and swarm forward. In fact, this violent monster spawning mode is not so easy for Xia En to replicate. ?After being promoted to the first level [Captain], his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is "incredibly strong". Combining the two talents of [Seawater Control] and [Seawater Affinity], a spectacular scene like a "waterspout" can be created. It''s just that the price for pouring out all your strength is... Ship Soul Power: 34/100 This consumption is really not ordinary. ?Xia En was secretly stunned. ?His sweep this time is equivalent to turning on a red light directly from full energy to the chest. It feels good, but it cannot last long. It can only be said that the two methods of combat have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the situation. While Xia En was thinking. In the coral group not far away, several sea tribesmen swam over with respectful expressions. Good day, Lord Envoy of God, the queen of our clan wants to see you. Thanks to "War Demon Potato" for the 500-coin reward! At the same time, thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes! Thank you so much! (End of this chapter) Chapter 51 The Queen is full of majesty Chapter 51 The Queen is full of majesty Queen of the Sea Tribe ?Xia En was a little surprised. Do the sea tribes in this coral city have a common queen? The sea tribe in front of me explained aloud: "Because the Coral City is so vast and sparsely populated, we usually live together in different clans." The most powerful clan among them is the royal clan to which the Queen belongs. "If we encounter a danger that cannot be solved, we can ask the royal family for help. Correspondingly, we also need to obey the royal family''s orders and rule." When he said this, Xia En suddenly understood. Xia En looked at the "majestic" queen and responded respectfully. The leading warrior nodded to the previous Sea Tribe man: "Next, let me lead the way." Just for a moment when he saw her, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. ?This seems to be the teaching building of the college, but it has been transformed into the queen''s palace. ?As soon as I walked through the gate of the college, I felt a mysterious and gentle force caressing my face, like a clear stream that cleansed my body and mind. ??The Queen of the Sea Clan made a childish voice, which was in sharp contrast to her majestic tone. A spacious and simple hall appeared in Xia En''s eyes. Not long after, a group of people came to a towering gate. The respectful attitude of other sea tribesmen is the best evidence. The royal family has limited control over each clan, but it is not completely absent. The two sides help each other, which is just suitable for the complex environment of this underwater city. ? In their impression, the sea people in Coral City are extremely cold and cold, and sometimes show hostility towards outsiders like them. but now This is probably the "safe passage" opened up by the sea tribe. ??Xia En and the others walked through the city together with the sea tribe. Because it covers a huge area, it is second only to the Royal Castle and the Royal Palace, and is considered to be one of the core areas of the entire royal capital. After completing the handover, Xia En was quickly taken to the tallest building. There is no other reason. ??Had it not been for the ubiquitous sea water around him, Xia En might have thought that he was walking in an abandoned ancient city on land. Immediately, Xia En and the two followed the sea tribe and headed towards the depths of the Coral City. Shaan also regarded this place as a scheduled monster spawning dungeon. There are dark red or brown walls, flat bluestone streets, and spacious and empty red brick squares. ?This means that Luticia must be a Mystic, and her level is higher than that of Xia En. In the darkness, there are still several powerful auras observing him. ?This Queen of the Sea Tribe seems a little... too young! The marble pillars on both sides are carved with ancient murals, highlighting the richness of history. Even if Xia En has extraordinary strength, he is still an outsider to the Sea Clan, so it is normal to be cautious, right? ?As a royal family, why dont you live in the royal palace that used to be the royal capital? ? Thinking about it, the reason is probably not I dont want to but I cant! She has two small horns like sheep''s horns, and her skin is covered with bright silver scales. On the huge shell throne at the top, the Queen of the Sea Tribe is sitting there, casting a majestic and calm gaze downwards. the other side. Could it be said that there is still great danger in the palace now? ?Xia En thought as he swam forward. ?? Don''t look at him now, clearing the mobs in Coral City is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. After getting closer, he could clearly feel the faint sense of oppression emanating from the other party. This is different from usual! I didnt expect that today, I would come here in this way. ?Overhead, the light of two rows of luminous pearls illuminated the main hall and the walls engraved with mysterious patterns. ?That is the precious treasure left by the mystics of the past era "Hello, Your Excellency the Envoy of God, and Your Excellency the Knight." ?What''s going on with that flattering smile? It can be clearly felt that the paths they chose are all in places with less coral, as if they have been cleaned up by someone. Xia En''s heart moved slightly: "Although the Sea Clan in Coral City is far inferior to the heyday of the Shoton Kingdom, their heritage cannot be underestimated." ?Xia En looked inside the academy and found that there was not much trace of coral, and it looked extremely "clean." Every time a polluter dies, the city where they live becomes safer. ?Most of them had good auras, and the auras of a few of them made Xia En feel a little threatened. ?Dark purple hair is spread on both shoulders, a pair of elegant dark green eyes, and small gills on both cheeks. The man from the sea tribe explained in time: "This is a large-scale spell arranged by the royal family. It can prevent polluters from entering, and it can also purify and suppress the pollution of corals to a certain extent." ?Not long after, Xia En and An You arrived in front of the throne, while the Sea Tribe warriors were waiting not far away. ?Shaan was somewhat impressed by this landmark building on the map. ?No matter whether this gentleman is a true "messenger of God" or not, his actions to destroy the polluters are definitely not false. With this idea in mind, the attitude of the sea people is naturally very respectful. Xia En is still very self-aware. Instead, there were sea warriors waiting nearby. What''s with that respectful gesture of yours! ?That was a coral monster transformed into a truly powerful Mystic before he could find itbased on the population density of the capital of Shuton, there were by no means a handful of such strong men. ?But after thinking about it, Xia En became curious. ?After seeing the group of people arriving, the sea warriors came forward one after another.?????Your Majesty the Envoy of God! This is...the college in Uptown? As the group went deeper, the density of nearby corals was greatly reduced, and the surfaces of many buildings were no longer covered by corals, showing their original appearance. "Thank you for accepting my invitation. I, Lutitia Ether Shorten, am here to express my gratitude to you." The grudges against the polluters have also been washed away. In fact, not only her cheeks, but her whole body is small. Seeing this scene, the Titan''s salvagers were stunned again. ?Xia En was a little regretful that he couldn''t brush a few monsters along the way. My big iron hook is already hungry and thirsty! ?However, Xia En did not have any contempt for him because of his youth. Second level, third level? or higher? After walking through a long corridor. ?This queen looks to be only eight or nine years old, even younger than the previous Hela. ?They have all heard about Xia En''s deeds, and some have even witnessed with their own eyes the storm that just rolled up on the bottom of the sea. ?However, Xia En is more concerned about what the queen wants to see him for? ?Thoughts were flying in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface and still spoke in that deep and majestic tone. This is a bit like an alternative enfeoffment system. Knowledge! The Queen is already waiting for you. That is a kind of gap in life level. In the final analysis, Xia En has just been promoted to a first-level mystic, and is still a novice on the extraordinary path. "yes." The tone of the soldiers was very respectful. Then, please lead the way for me. In terms of strength, he is definitely not as good as the real strong ones among the Shanghai clan. In this way, the Queen of the Sea Tribes act of summoning her seemed a bit playful. I would like to fix the update time. If there is no unexpected situation in the future, it will be one chapter at 5:30 pm and one chapter at 10:30 pm. There will be updates after they are released! (End of this chapter) Chapter 52 A sudden burst of wealth! Chapter 52: Get rich instantly! ?Xia En was thinking about these questions in his mind. ?Queen Luticia is also secretly observing these two visitors. Just the knight in armor surprised her a little. The mysterious and peculiar underwater armor, the aura of ancient bloodline... She seemed to have seen similar legends in some ancient books. ?? And this so-called "envoy of the Lord of Radiance" surprised Luticia even more. Under the tattered black robe is a strange body that is difficult to describe in words. The mysterious atmosphere lingers like a veil. But now, after seeing Xia En with her own eyes, Luticia''s thoughts have changed subtly. "And one more thing." On behalf of the residents of this kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude to you! In Luticias long life, she has never seen such a person. No problem, I will hand it over to His Excellency the Gods Envoy tomorrow. At that time, you can save a lot of time and energy by doing a little comparison yourself. ??This is what you call a "little gift?" ??Why would this queen want to clean up the palace herself? ?Hundreds of gold dragon coins are enough to buy dozens of these two-masted sailing ships! Xia En''s eyes suddenly changed. ??This is all genuine gold and silver, in excellent condition, and cannot be compared to the copper ornaments found in previous shipwrecks. "I have plans to clean up the palace, so it doesn''t hurt to do it a little earlier." "That''s the best thing." As a queen, such an act is sincere enough. "Um?" ??What Xia En needs to do is just enter the advanced "Palace Dungeon" to level up monsters as usual, without wasting any time on deep sea diving. Take out these idle "trash" to please the God''s envoy. This business is worth it! "If you have any other needs, please let us know." Money, just give me money! As she spoke, she asked someone to bring a half-human-sized shell box. But there seems to be a curse against our family in the palace. Just by setting foot in it, we will be quickly contaminated and assimilated. "That is" They have lived in the Coral City for so many years, and have already collected less than half of the wealth in this royal capital. "good." Luticia nodded: "To be honest, I have one more thing that I want to entrust to you, the envoy of God." The glory of the Lord of Glory has faded away for several years, so how could a divine messenger suddenly come? Luticia''s eyes brightened slightly and she said, "Thank you again for your kindness and kindness." ?The ink-like substance covered his body surface, squirming and flowing slightly all the time, like a living thing. ?His original plan was to use the stupidest elimination method to check every church to confirm the location of the [Ember Treasure]. calm! Please clean up the polluters and corals in the palace. After receiving the promise from the Queen of the Sea Tribe, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little hopeful. ?Luticia lowered her head slightly, her little face with a little baby fat was solemn and majestic, trying to show her respect. For example, ancient books and scrolls related to spells, or secret potions that enhance magic power. The character cannot be destroyed! After taking two deep breaths, Xia En forced himself to calm down and spoke calmly again. ??They all say that the Hai people have a lot of money, and they are indeed true! In fact, in Luticia''s opinion, these treasures are indeed not much. Im just practicing my ideal path. Luticia didnt think much about it. As an envoy of God, it was a very legitimate request to enter the church and pay homage. So, whats the price? If we can do it, we will be as satisfied as possible. She composed herself, opened her small lips, and said. ??The seemingly young queen raised her head and looked at Xia En with her beautiful dark green eyes, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. Open it and see that there are tons of gold, silver and jewelry inside! ?Under the light of the luminous pearl, the golden light is shining and dazzling. calm! I understand, but it takes time to mark the location. I estimate it will take two days before I can give it to you. I specially asked people to prepare some small gifts for the gods to accept. My knight does have some material needs. Your Excellency, Messenger of God, I have heard of your deeds. The treasure of this shell alone is worth at least hundreds of gold dragon coins! What is this concept? You must know that at the earliest time, the estimated value of the entire Black Swan was only more than 300 Silver Snake coins, which is equivalent to more than 3 Gold Dragon coins. The devil in my heart is whispering. ??Furthermore, there is no place to spend these treasures. At most, they can be traded with some trustworthy humans in exchange for supplies that are not available under the sea. Its like... there is an unyielding and active soul imprisoned in it! Luticia''s thoughts were floating in her mind. We have also entrusted humans on the sea. Although they have not been polluted, their strength is limited after all, resulting in repeated failures in clean-up operations. ?Shaan is a little strange. ??Moreover, this "godly messenger" was clearly standing in front of him, but seemed to be separated by an insurmountable distance, out of reach. The Sea Clan obviously has its own Secret Pathers, many of whom are more powerful than him. Xia En almost blurted out this sentence. In fact, many years ago, we tried to enter the palace and regain the territory occupied by the polluters. An idea flashed in Shane''s mind and he continued: "I need a more accurate map, preferably one that can mark the location of each church." Xia En accepted her thanks without changing his expression and asked straight to the point: "Isn''t it just for this matter that the queen summoned me personally?" I think, if it is God who sends you, it will definitely be possible To be honest, after hearing the news reported by Chief Assad, her first reaction was naturally doubt. An was vaguely aware that the two were discussing him, but he couldn''t understand anything and could only pretend to be "I have no objection." But now, since we are cooperating with the Sea Tribe, why not make use of their power? As a local aboriginal and with a large number of people, the map given will obviously be more accurate. Luticia pondered: "Do you want to take a secret route like magic knight?" Thank you for purifying the environment of Coral City and bringing relief and peace to those poor polluters. Xia En almost couldn''t resist the temptation, so he failed. "church?" Soon, Luticia gave an explanation. Distorts light and shadow, blurring cognition. ?Oh no, maybe even the "people" aspect needs to be questioned! "What a mysterious aura...it''s obviously only the first level, but you can''t see its reality." But considering that he was now playing the role of a "noble divine envoy", he swallowed it back into his mouth and said instead. Could it be said that... it is the power of gods? ?Obviously she is just a little girl of eight or nine years old, but Luticia''s smile at this moment is extremely rich, generous, and full of charm. Achieve multiple things with one stone. Its like Qin Shihuang eating Sichuan pepper Winning money! (End of this chapter) Chapter 53 The sun still rises and I will come back again Chapter 53 The sun still rises, and I will come back again In the royal palace that has been abandoned for many years. It is dim and lightless, with undercurrents surging. From those corners where light does not shine, there are vague whispers and malicious peeks. A "chi" sound. As the sword was drawn out, the coral monster in front of him finally fell, completely losing its vitality. ??Xia En stepped on its body, but his movements were a little slow. His face was slightly pale under the black robe, and his physical strength was exhausted. With the existence of [lightless touch], this dark environment does not have a great impact on him. ?Perhaps, this is similar to Ans situation, a curse engraved deep in the blood? Her Majesty the Queen...its better not to have high expectations. Since he cannot use the Hui Jiao Talisman, Xia En''s means of killing coral monsters will undoubtedly be reduced by one. The status "Worship of the Sea Tribe" has changed! 3.Broken coral ?Luticias eyes flashed with joy. Furthermore, there are more than one BOSS similar to it in the palace. The elders of the Hai Clan couldn''t help but be moved by this. A monster can generally give 3%-5% of the ship soul experience, and also explodes some good equipment. ?His eyes paused on "2" for a moment, and then decisively chose "4." Thats it for todays copy. But the problem is ?While the risks are high, the rewards are also very generous. His original intention was actually to find as suitable an excuse as possible for the death of the projected body. After an extremely long time, this cold and dead palace finally received some light. Fragments of the Royal Magic Book Her tone was very calm, and she only expressed her evaluation from an objective perspective. Luticia looks young, but in terms of real age, she is older than all the elders present. Luticia and several sea tribe elders were looking in the direction of the palace from a distance. But it seems...it had an unexpected effect? ?Speaking of which, Xia En was once curious as to why the Sea Tribe had not tried to use relics such as the Hui Cult Talisman. The majesty of the king accumulated over a long period of time cannot be overstepped. Just the short walk from the entrance to here was extremely difficult for Xia En. An old white-haired female elder shook her head: "In my opinion, the strength of this divine envoy is not that strong, and the level of his secret power may not be as high as the second level." Quality: CommonRare! I saw there, little stars of light gradually brightening. The colorful corals in contact with it, like glaciers under the sun, began to melt and disintegrate at a slow rate. Faintly, there was another voice coming from the light, like a metaphor from the gods. After thinking about it, Xia En looked at the four options for the loot. The royal palace is located next to this college, so you can clearly see the scene inside. It has been a while since Xia En entered the palace, but he has not shown up again, which makes Luticia a little worried. ??The light flows out through the windows of the palace and the gaps in the buildings, like weeds growing on the cliffs, weak and humble but persevering. The difficulty of this "palace copy" seems to be a bit too high! The weaker monsters here are all about the strength of the prince''s personal servant. ifier Just as the sun will rise, so will I return again... ???? Luticia''s calm gaze swept over them and said calmly. Xia En was quite lucky: "Otherwise, it would have been a disaster if we had to take him down." "But with all due respect, I don''t feel much respect for the gods from him." ?At this moment, new information appeared on the panel. Fortunately, I had the foresight to let Ann return to the ship early. Description: Fragmentary pages of a magic book recording several spells. ?He remembered that Joey seemed to have skills related to archeology, which allowed her to study hard and pass the boring time. 1.Royal Knight''s Rusty Long Sword At the last second before his return, a huge shapeless canine creature rushed out from nowhere and bit the neck of the projection body in one bite. ??The sea tribesmen who got closer heard the content of the words clearly You need to master skills such as "ancient language proficiency" or "archaeology" to decipher and interpret. Dont dare! Submarine is over! Xia En knew at a glance that this was the effect of the flower work he had done before leaving. My intuition is indeed right, the Hui Jiao amulet cannot be used indiscriminately in the palace. At this time, Xia En thought to himself as he looked at the power of the ship soul that had hit the bottom, and then looked at the coral monsters approaching all around. In the captain''s room, Xia En opened his eyes and subconsciously touched his neck. Please choose your trophy! There are a large number of monsters and a high density, and there are even units with long-range attacks. ?Although he will not really die, the experience of being "beheaded" still brought a little psychological shadow to Xia En. Quality: Rare Its not that Xia En doesnt want to use the Hui Cult Talisman to clear monsters, but he has a hunch that once the Hui Cult Talisman is used here, it will immediately attract some unstoppable terrifying existences, causing the submersion to end. Xia En calmly analyzed the situation just now: "That big dog seemed to have a grudge against the Lord of Glory. When he saw Glory, he came straight to me." But his heart became more and more full of fighting spirit, and he was looking forward to tomorrow''s [Deep Sea Diving]. Nice little thing. Just as the Sea Clan cannot enter the territory of the royal palace, they will also show extreme discomfort and resistance after coming into contact with the relics of these clergy, so they cannot use them at all. ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. You can give orders to some sea people without violating your personal will. A dark page like parchment appeared in Xia En''s hand. Mr. Angel, can you get out of the palace safely? Another elder also said: "If it is a true envoy of God, there is still some possibility of conquering the palace." Its just like playing a game. As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several elders immediately changed slightly, and they quickly knelt down on one knee and said in fear. Could it be that you are questioning my judgment? ?After going deep into the royal territory and asking Luticia, Xia En got the answer. This elder is a devout Hui sect believer, so what he said is quite convincing. Type: Props It seems that there is still severe pain remaining on the surface of the skin. Description: Your actions have touched the hearts of the royal clans, and many sea clans have truly regarded you as a messenger of the gods. 4.Fragments of the Royal Magic Book Suddenly, Luticia felt something in her heart and turned her head to look at a corner of the palace. Attacks coming from the dark are hard to guard against. Magic, it''s calling me! 2. Palace maid''s silk stockings The top floor of the college teaching building. But before I leave, I have to give you a whole life! Levels and dungeons have a certain degree of difficulty, and you will have a greater sense of accomplishment when you overcome them. But just when Xia En was about to walk out of the captain''s cabin. A rapid alarm bell suddenly sounded from outside the cabin! (End of this chapter) Chapter 54 pirate! pirate! (Please recommend! Please collect!) Chapter 54 Pirates! pirate! (Please recommend! Please collect!) Dang! clang! clang! ?A rapid, penetrating alarm bell sounded on the Titan. Many sailors rushed to the deck with weapons in hand. Report to the captain! There are traces of pirate ships in the northeast and southwest! The sailors on the lookout shouted in panic. At the bow of the ship, the female captain Reina looked solemn. Through the telescope, she could see that the pirate ship in the northeast was hung with a special sail, with a shark drawn on it with its mouth wide open. CorsairAngry Shark! ??This is a pirate ship that is no less famous than the [Blood Wolf]. ?The captain''s bounty has soared to 500 silver snake coins due to a recent robbery! However, what surprised Reina even more. ?In the southwest, there was a larger three-masted sailboat, slowly approaching. Due to the distance, Lena could not clearly see the sail mark on the ship. ??But judging from the size alone, the size of this pirate group is definitely larger than the [Angry Shark]! Damn it! Why are these pirates getting together? ?Leina cursed, feeling very heavy. ?Although there have always been pirates raging in the waters of Coral City, it is really rare for two ships to collide with each other like this. If you are surrounded by them... ?Leina bit her lip and forced herself to calm down. She is the captain of the Giant! ??If she panics, who can the sailors on the ship rely on? ?Thinking of this, Reina''s eyes became firm and she ordered in a majestic voice. Everyone, get back to your places! Ill be at the helm, the rigging hand will raise the top sail, the lookout hand will report the situation at all times, and keep at full speed! ??At the same time that all the crew members of the Giant were moving, Lena saw that there was also movement on the Black Swan, and the young and handsome captain stepped onto the deck. In fact, after sounding the alarm, Lena deliberately maneuvered the Titan closer to the Black Swan. Just to remind them that the pirates are coming. Captain Lena, thank you. On the deck, Shane waved to Reina to thank her. Of course he could see Reina''s kindness. ?Just looking at this detail, it can be seen that this female captain is indeed a good person and worth getting to know. "Captain Shane, the situation is urgent, so we will leave first. You should also escape from this sea area as soon as possible!" After Lena left these words, she immediately sailed away at full speed. ??Looking at the distant shadow of the Titan, Xia En still stood calmly on the deck, as if waiting for something. Soon, Joey and Ann both came to the deck. Looking at the pirate ship approaching like a sharp knife, Joey asked nervously: "Mr. Captain, what should we do now?" Are you going to escape with the Fomorian? No, we just wait here. Xia En said calmly. He has already used up his number of dives today, so he cannot repeat the "Deep Sea Ghost" ship-cutting operation like last time. but Name: Xia En Age: 18 years old Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin); Succubus (extremely thin) Secret Career: Captain (Level 1) Ship: Black Swan Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (80%) Attributes: Firepower 7, Speed ??12, Robustness 14, Mystery 11 (9+2) Durability: 93/100 Core components: Distorted cursed cannon (precious) + sturdy single cannon (common)*2 + old single cannon (inferior)... Talents: Deep Sea Diving; Captain''s Majesty; Seawater Control/Affinity; Hardened Skin; High-speed Regeneration; Lightless Touch; Communication with Ship Spirits Skills: Shadow Swordsmanship (Mastery)... Looking at the luxurious panels and numerical values ??in front of him, Xia En raised a smile on his lips. They are the ones who should run away! Now, he is no longer the novice captain who had to hide and hide when facing the [Blood Wolf]. Just in time, Xia En also wanted to give it a try to see how much surprise the Black Swan''s performance could bring to him. On the deck of the Angry Shark. "Crazy Shark" Baroque stood at the bow of the ship. His upper body was naked, and the shark''s unique blue-black skin was exposed to the air, and there were countless scars on it. The high bulging dorsal fin is flanked by large, angular muscles, giving it a rather oppressive image. The other pirates looked at him with awe and fear in their eyes. Is that the Black Swan? ?Baroque looked at the ship not far away and sneered: "You are so stupid that you just stopped there. Are you scared?" Blood Wolf Hansen can be defeated by such a captain, it seems that he is also a waste that does not deserve the name! ?Other pirates also laughed and shouted in agreement. Haha, Captain Baroque is the strongest! The Black Swan and the Blood Wolf are just rotten fish and shrimps! Kill them all!! The first mate of the Angry Shark is a frail-looking navigator. ??Amid the commotion around him, he remained calm and reminded aloud: "Captain, don''t underestimate this man." He has taken action on the Dukes Island, and he should indeed be a first-level secret traveler. Baroques lips showed a confident smile: So what? I will win! ?Different from Hansen, Baroque is a true mystic, and his occupation is [axe wielder]. The broadsword in his hand has killed several secret travelers. It can be said that his strength is far superior to Blood Wolf Hansen. ??However, Baroque does not have Duke Nova''s [Scarlet Coat of Arms], so it is restricted in the nearby sea areas and is far less free and comfortable than the Blood Wolf. This time, after hearing the news about the [Scarlet Coat of Arms] on board the Black Swan from another pirate captain, Baroque immediately rushed over to get proof of this identity. Captain, its better to be careful. The first mate frowned and tried his best to persuade: "The captain of [Black Mountain] deliberately told you this news. I don''t think he has any good intentions." Isnt he still watching in the southwest? Hearing the name [Black Mountain], Baroque curled his lips in displeasure: "That''s enough, I''ve already decided, you don''t need to persuade me anymore." Seeing this, the first mate sighed and stopped talking. Subsequently, Baroque looked greedily in the direction of the Black Swan, preparing to launch the final sprint. I will accept the scarlet coat of arms! But the next moment. He blinked in confusion. Because, the Black Swan, which was still parked in the same place before, suddenly disappeared. ?Baroque glanced away with his peripheral vision and saw that the ship had arrived in the other direction of the "Angry Shark" at some unknown time. ?And, like a chariot, it rushed toward them with great force. ??On that ship, the sails were bulging high, the tight ropes trembled in the air, and the roar of the steam turbines filled the sea. On both sides of the ship, there are layers of waves, one after another, as if they are pushing the ship! The speed of the entire ship was so fast that all the crew members on board the Raging Shark were stunned! This is simply not a speed that any brigantine can achieve. In a daze, Baroque has a strange illusion. As if...this ship is alive! ?The sound echoing on the sea is like a proud and unyielding black swan, raising its proud neck and making its own neighing sound! On Monday, please ask for recommendation votes and monthly votes, so that you can stay on the new book list for a few more days! Thank you all! Will be updated!.jpg (End of this chapter) Chapter 55 Boarding battle! Chapter 55 Battle on the side! How could it be so fast? ?Looking at the Black Swan approaching at a fast speed, Baroque''s expression changed slightly, and he was filled with surprise and uncertainty. In terms of speed, [Angry Shark] is already a leader among ordinary sailing ships. However, in front of the oncoming Black Swan, it is like a slow wild elephant meeting a rushing and attacking cheetah! ??If the two ships were traveling side by side, in just a moment, they might not even be able to see the stern of the Black Swan! The first mate who looked like a scribe said solemnly. The performance of a sailing ship alone, even with the hybrid power of a steam turbine, cannot achieve such a speed. "unless" However, your strength will eventually run out! Is the captain of that ship crazy? ??The Black Swan is also an extremely fast "moving target", and whether it can hit it or not depends entirely on luck! Damn it! The moment when this mysterious power is sensed. I will be the winner in the end! After firing these rounds, the gunner was sweating profusely and his face was covered with cold sweat. However, there is an indescribable mysterious aura about the man. Ill fight with you! Facing the arrival of this man, the pirates were a little panicked. ?At this scene, the pirates on the deck were once again stunned. Whoever dares to kill me? Seeking death! When he raised his head again, Baroque''s eyes were full of solemnity and he cursed in his heart. ?But after all, they are murderers licking blood from their swords, and there is only one enemy at the moment, so there is no reason to be afraid of him. It was only because of the protection of the armor that it failed to produce any real results. Instead, it made his palms numb and red blood flowed from the tiger''s mouth. ?His body is made of cold and solid armor, with the magic power forming strange lines and gleaming as it flows. Captain, we missed, we really missed! Boom! boom! boom! The smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and the iron cannonballs exploded out under the push of gunpowder, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. "kill him!" The accuracy of artillery in this era is pitifully low. "Whoever yells again, I will chop off his head first!" Sink it for me! The huge size and heavy strength caused the deck under the man''s feet to show horrifying cracks like spider webs. ?That was a handsome man with light blond hair. Generally speaking, the next step is to hang up the ship''s rope and engage in the most dangerous boarding battle. simultaneously! ?This big sword is not sharp, but it is hard enough and heavy enough. ?Only sailors know how difficult and incredible it is to control the speed of a ship at will. ?But at this moment, another figure came to the deck of the [Raging Shark] and happened to land next to the armored knight. ?There was only one thing he did, and that was to raise the big sword in his hand and slash in all directions! ??A loud noise sounded on the deck of [Angry Shark]. Facing the pirates coming from all around, the armored knight stood there like a mountain. The entire deck of the ship seemed to tremble due to this exchange. Several pirates were killed in just one round of chopping. Ships are not steam locomotives on the shore. Affected by currents and wind speeds, they are very difficult to control and require the cooperation of many sailors to increase or decrease their speed. ??The power of this knife is enough to split a person in half from the middle! It may be relatively simple to increase to full speed. If you hit, youll hit, whos afraid of whom? Subsequently, there was a fierce confrontation. He then swung the huge saw-toothed machete and slashed with a sudden jump. ?Like the lightless deep sea, or the vast starry sky...the dim light cast from places too far away to be explored lingered around him and reflected in the eyes of others. ?In just a moment, it dropped from full speed to a speed similar to the [Angry Shark]. There are so many people on my ship, and I can kill you just by using them. Were going to, were going to hit you!! Damn, this guy is too hard! Wherever the sword blade struck, the pirate''s ribs would be broken, or his hands and feet would be chopped off, or he would be blown away by the force and fall into the sea. He wants to die with us? ?His words poured out like a volley of cannonballs. All the pirates turned their heads and looked around in a hurry. I saw a steel body like an iron tower appearing on the deck. ?The ship, which looked like a living creature, suddenly began to slow down in a strange manner, like a galloping horse being pulled by the reins. ?Baroque and the knight in armor each took a few steps back. An unlucky pirate couldn''t dodge and was stepped on by him. His chest collapsed into rotten flesh and he soon lost his breath. ??The pirates exclaimed loudly. No matter how fierce and fierce they are, they will inevitably lose their bearings when they see such a ship that is faster than a swordfish and rushes towards them in a self-destructive manner. Then, it landed on the sea more than ten meters away from the black swan, splashing high in the water. ??Baroque still maintained a bit of calmness and roared loudly: "Shut up!" Can be suddenly. Gunner, fire! The smell of blood and the sound of wailing spread on the deck. For a time, the deck was almost a mess. ??Only called the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. next moment. Both sides can directly see the figures on the other side''s ship. Boom! How could "Crazy Shark" Baroque allow the other party to continue massacring his men? He shouted loudly. Just when Baroque was about to collide with the Black Swan. At this time, the Black Swan and the Angry Shark have approached an extremely dangerous distance. ?Baroque cursed in a low voice, but when he saw the oncoming Black Swan, he felt fierce in his heart. He gritted his teeth and revealed a sinister smile on his face. "Crazy Shark" Baroque''s "crazy" is by no means a deserved reputation! In his fierce roar, the pirates finally regained some sense, and the gunner quickly returned to his position. The machete collided with the sword, and the surging air waves expanded suddenly. Many pirates were unsteady and were almost blown away. ?After a brief period of fear, the pirates still shouted and rushed towards the armored knight. The two heavy weapons were swung tightly, colliding and rubbing back and forth, making continuous loud noises. The aftermath of the battle alone prevented other pirates from intervening. Kill!! The first mate''s analysis is very reasonable, but at this time, the pirates on board the Raging Shark have no intention of listening to him. From beginning to end, the knight maintained a cold silence, like an emotionless killing weapon, which was frightening. After another close collision. He was certain that his sword had fallen on the knight several times. That ship is blessed with secret power or supernatural relics! A cruel smile appeared on Baroque''s face, and he thought to himself: "If you want to blame me, it''s because you are so arrogant that you dare to break into my territory alone!" Compared to the dirty and **** pirate ships, he seems to be more suitable to appear in the courtyards of nobles and luxurious palaces. But even some experienced captains cannot achieve such an exaggerated speed reduction in a short period of time. ?Baroque''s body trembled slightly, and the hairs all over his body stood up due to instinctive fear. He thought in disbelief. This is...the captain of the Black Swan? (End of this chapter) Chapter 56 [Jue Ying Yi Sword] Chapter 56 [Jueying Yijian] ??????????????? The waves lapped against the sides of the ship. On the deck of the Angry Shark. ?Seeing Xia En''s arrival, the armored knight An lowered his head apologetically and stood behind him respectfully. ??If conditions didn''t allow it, An would definitely take out a pen and paper and write. Sorry, I''m sorry that I''m incompetent. I can''t destroy all the pirates. I still need to trouble the captain to take action. ?Hearing this, Baroque''s eyelids twitched slightly, but he still showed a ferocious face, showing the ferocity of a pirate, and shouted loudly. ? With [Black Swan]s 14-point solidity attribute, it can directly hit a hard opponent without suffering much damage. ??This three-masted sailing ship is much larger than the [Angry Shark], and the number of pirates on it is obviously more. Next time I go back to the island, maybe I need to find someone to pretend to be a different person? ?This artillery is the product of successful strengthening. ?It is precisely because of this that he can perform the miraculous move like "emergency stop". ?Xia En did not have any contempt in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he used his mind to communicate with a cannon inside the ship. He walked to the rudder of the ship and took hold of the solid steering wheel with his hands. ?In his perception, the ship seemed to suddenly become active, and every part that carried his will seemed to be refreshed. Aberrant Cursed Cannon ?Although the ship in front has been escaping for some time, the speed of up to 12 o''clock has caused the distance between the two ships to shorten at a speed visible to the naked eye. ?There was a strange sound in Baroque''s throat. He tried hard to maintain his balance and touched his neck tremblingly. Cannonballs, delicious... With exquisite swordsmanship and a physique stronger than that of the prince''s valet transformed into a monster, the power of this sword has even surpassed that of the original version! Some people even dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy and surrendering. ?Seeing that the captain was charging forward, the pirates on the ship were also inspired to be bloody, and they rushed toward Xia En with strange screams. Are you the Crazy Shark Baroque? Hearing the voice from the Black Swan, Xia En felt quite relieved. After getting closer, Joey reminded aloud: "This pirate ship is the Black Mountain, and the reward is 800 Silver Dragon Coins, which is higher than the reward of the Angry Shark!" Suddenly, a childish voice sounded in my ears. In the blink of an eye, the body of the shark visibly increased by several centimeters, and his muscles also swelled. Jueying! ?Quality: Rare ?At such a rapid speed, the effect of directly hitting the opponent''s hull will be very shocking. Shane named it Your courage is commendable, but as a challenger, you are not qualified. ?Most pirates are actually such a rabble. It would be foolish to expect them to have a strong will and tenacious fighting spirit. ! Boom! Boom! ?Every time he took a step, the deck beneath his feet shattered, like the sound of a heroic drum, beating in the hearts of all the pirates. You can be on par with my knights, you are indeed quite capable. ??Xia En turned into a black meteor, carrying powerful speed and power, flashing across the deck. Fortunately, Xia En''s will still overrides the aberration artillery. ?The next second, Xia En felt the entire Black Swan''s hull tremble slightly. As soon as Baroque died, the pirates who had been charging forward suddenly changed their expressions and were no longer as brave as before. If you surrender voluntarily, I will give you a decent death. Blood spurted out from his neck, dyeing his hands scarlet red. ??Xia En looked around and confirmed that there were no secret travelers on the ship, then he left An here and jumped back to the deck of the Black Swan. I want to help the master... Description: The artillery reinforced by "Filth Crystal" has undergone strange distortions in its shape and interior. It is now a thing that should not exist in reality. Its indeed a big guy, so let me give you a taste of this! boom! Accompanied by the sound of broken boards. It can be said that it has become a living existence. ??This is also the origin of the name Baroque "Crazy Shark"! Enemy, bad! the reason is simple.?????Isn''t there a pirate ship not far away? ?Xia En looked from a distance and found that the pirate ship had sailed in a farther direction at some point. ?Shaan looked at the three-masted sailboat in front of him and resisted the urge to bump into it. Firepower, range, and accuracy have been greatly enhanced. Looking at Baroque who was the first to be hit, Xia En stood there with an indifferent expression. ?This is the potential benefit brought by [Communication with Ship Soul], which allows Xia En to control the entire ship more easily. Ah Pao, fire! Those who are accustomed to relying on violence will naturally develop awe and fear of more powerful violence. Its not worth letting Xiao Hei suffer even a little bit of harm. What a good boy. ??The dark shadow and the sword light merge into one, without distinguishing each other. In fact, the reason why Xia En did not take action immediately was because An took the initiative to ask for a fight and wanted to fulfill the duties of a knight and help him clear all obstacles. But now I know its too late to be afraid! ??Xia Ens lips curled up into a sneer: Humph, want to escape? Master, good! But the strength of the captain of the Angry Shark was somewhat beyond An''s expectations, and he was forced into a protracted war. But at the same time, the shape of this cannon has also undergone a transformation. A layer of smooth skin has grown on the surface, and sharp teeth have appeared in the muzzle. Occasionally, its vague murmurs and whispers can be heard. ?Baroque let out an exclamation of admiration, then fell to the ground and rolled to the side with a grunt. This is a secret ability similar to [Insanity]. During this process, Baroque''s heart was beating violently, the veins on his forehead were bulging, the black skin was flushed with blood, and white steam was vaguely evaporating. Before he finished speaking, he shouldered a big sword and rushed towards Xia En at the lead. An, watch carefully, I will only use one sword. The effect surprised Xia Endu. ?Shane easily read his thoughts, waved his hand, and then turned to look at Baroque among the pirates. But the problem is that there are clearly easier ways to deal with these pirates. For a moment, no one could even see his figure and the sword in his hand. ?However, before he could touch his neck, the head on his neck had lost its balance and slowly slid to the side. I think it was after discovering that the strength of the Black Swan exceeded expectations that he temporarily decided to give up the hunting plan. Additional "Poison", "Rotten" and "Evil Corrosion" effects to those hit by shell splash damage] Brothers, follow me! What a fast sword ?Baroques huge body froze in place. After "swallowing" the cannonball and firing it, the cannonball will be attached with a "curse" special effect, which will reduce the luck and attributes of the crew of the hit ship with a certain probability. Type: Component Xiao Hei, lets go! ?Although the magnitude is not obvious, Xiao Hei has still grown up little by little, and now he knows how to be considerate of himself! You want me to surrender? Dreaming! ??Following Xia En''s order, the unmanned aberration cannon swallowed the shells and fired fiercely at the "Black Mountain"! Please recommend, collect, and vote monthly! (End of this chapter) Chapter 57 Phase two, boy! Chapter 57 Stage 2, boy! Boom! The cannonball left the barrel with the help of gunpowder, but for some unknown reason, it was stained with a strange black luster, and there was some mucus of unknown origin attached to the surface. ?After drawing an arc in the air, it crashed onto the deck of the "Black Mountain" with a crash. The air waves rolled and the wooden boards shattered in large pieces. ?Several pirates happened to be affected by the impact of the cannonball and were thrown to the ground, their faces covered with blood, and they let out low wailing sounds. Upon seeing this, on the other side of the deck, Marcelo "The Rock", the captain of the Montenegro, looked extremely gloomy. Hell! The sharp arrows are about to go off! ?Besieged from three sides, and with the injury on his arm, Xia En was immediately at a disadvantage. The pirates were excited and kept shouting. ?Even if one or two shells were lucky enough to hit, they would be like hitting an invisible barrier, making it difficult to cause real damage to the hull. Crazy! Really crazy! Dare you mess with me? Ill feed your body to the sharks! ! The sound of the arrow cutting through the air was almost transmitted to the brain together with the pain on the arm. The archers at high places had already bent their bows and nocked arrows. Your strength is not bad. But if you listen and look carefully, it seems like there is nothing. ?Furthermore, I dont know if it was Marcelos illusion, but after the Black Swans cannonball hit the ship, he felt a strange discomfort. ?? Broken wooden boards, dark craters, broken arms and limbs can be seen everywhere. Even a mast is bent over and erected crookedly on the deck. The third officer on the ship shouted in panic: "Captain! The shells are poisonous!" ?Marcelo was stunned: "What?" As a reward, Ill let you see my current limit! ??A one-eyed man holding a machete launched a sneak attack from a tricky angle. ?However, the purpose of weakening the combat effectiveness of the ship has been achieved. Xia En raised his head. On the observation tower that had not yet collapsed, an archer was looking down at him. ?There were also pirates who screamed in terror and fled in all directions, as if they had seen a terrible hallucination. I can only say that the splash is huge! ?Marcelos original intention was to let [Angry Shark] try the strength of [Black Swan], while he would sit back and watch the fight. The [Strongness] attribute of 14 points is more than just talk. ?Even though he was in such a desperate situation, the young man''s expression was unusually calm, and there was even a smile on his lips. ??Just when he was about to draw his sword, he felt a sudden chill in his heart, and a warning sign instantly surged up. It is more like a hunter than a prey! ?However, what shocked Marcelo was that after engaging with the [Angry Shark], the [Black Swan] came towards him without stopping? ??Didnt I just look at you twice? ??If you want to take action, you are just thinking about it! Even the most ferocious pirates would not attack other pirate ships indiscriminately and without gaps. ?Xia En looked down and saw an arrow piercing his right arm, and blood flowed out. ?Marcelo had no idea that things would develop to where they are now. Truth only exists within the range of a cannon, thats true. ?The opponent''s eyes flashed with blue light, and a weak secret power lingered on the bow and arrow. Like a whisper lingering in my ears. Coincidentally, he had also heard rumors about this ship, and since the [Raging Shark] was nearby, Marcelo told Baroque the news. After several rounds of shelling, the ship had become a mess. You will pay the price for your stupidity and arrogance! ??If the two ships are similar in strength, he will take advantage of the situation and eat both ships. "go to hell!" ?Looking at the Black Swan''s artillery, although there are cases where it misses, some shells will always fall on the deck of the Black Mountain, causing considerable damage. Boom Xia En sighed secretly. ??But Marcelo did not expect that the [Black Swan] showed an extraordinary speed and rushed towards the [Angry Shark] menacingly. The Rock Marcelo walked out of the pirates and said with a ferocious expression: Captain of the Black Swan, you asked for this! "He really dared to catch up? And dared to open fire on us?" In terms of strength, the Black Mountain Pirate Group is far superior to the Angry Shark Pirate Group in terms of size and the number of Secret Pathers! ?Thinking of this, Marcelo roared and ordered. ??Xia En jumped up, like a vigorous cheetah, and landed lightly on the deck of the "Black Mountain". "The captain of the Black Swan is actually so wealthy?" On the Seven Seas, the cost of finding a magician for enchantment is very high. Enchanting disposable items such as cannonballs can only be done by a ship like the Blood Duke. Do it. It''s just that what makes them a little strange is. I havent experienced such a difficult battle in a long time. Helmsman, hit me up and get ready to cast the line! Different from [Angry Shark], [Black Mountain] itself is a pirate ship holding [Scarlet Coat of Arms]. at this time. ?Marcelo quickly came up with a guess that was close to the truth, and he became increasingly surprised. With the help of the unique connection between the Scarlet Crest, Marcelo discovered the existence of the Black Swan. Xia En then boarded the Black Mountain and prepared to clean up the mess. Shaan was a little surprised: "Two Secret Pathers?" His judgment is not irrational. It seemed like there was something creeping quietly in the peripheral vision. Suddenly, loud shouts came from behind him. ??The gunners of the Black Mesa encountered the same dilemma as the Angry Shark. Their shells could not hit the agile Black Swan! ? At that time, Marcelo vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and reacted very quickly to drive the Montenegro away, preparing not to get involved in this muddy water. ??He chose to retreat temporarily, but he just didn''t want to risk casualties in fighting the Black Swan. He was not really afraid of the other party. But the actual effect... The next moment, the artillery on the Black Mountain roared and fired shells one after another. No, three! Could it be said that these cannonballs are enchanted? The smoke spread, and the momentum was terrifying. There is no doubt that this is a mystic who has also mastered the extraordinary power of fire! Feeling the blazing temperature approaching his skin, Xia En took a step back and turned slightly to avoid the fierce knife. ?His speed and strength are far superior to ordinary pirates. After a while, the roar of the artillery gradually subsided. His weapon is a pair of fists harder than stone. ??Marcelo looked at the Black Swan not far away and cursed fiercely: "You are really looked down upon!" Boom! ??Marcelo''s figure rushed out like a cannonball and arrived in front of Shane almost in the blink of an eye. Since when can cannonballs also contain poison? ?Each punch is as powerful as breaking mountains and cracking rocks. At the critical juncture, Xia En quickly changed his tactics, gave the one-eyed man a sharp elbow, and used the recoil to force him to take two steps to the left. ??If possible, he wouldn''t mind sinking the ship directly with cannonballs. ??The blade of the scimitar is also covered with a layer of blazing fire, burning blazingly in the air. He turned around and saw that the pirate who had been hit by the shell''s aftermath had ulcers on his body, and pus and blood flowed out of the wound. Gunner, fire! Obviously, this arrow was aimed at his heart just now! ?At the same time, the one-eyed man once again used the fiery sword technique to strike Xia En right in the face. ?It is a pity that the Black Swan''s ammunition reserves are very limited, and these rounds of bombardment have exhausted the ammunition. The next moment, an invisible force violently poured into Xia En''s body, as if there was an invisible roar echoing in the sky above the two ships. The turbulent air waves centered on him and swept away violently! Thanks to "Devil Potato" and "Jintai''s Goda" for the 100-coin reward! Thank you so much! At the same time, thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes! (End of this chapter) Chapter 58 have you had enough? Chapter 58 Have you had enough trouble? On the deck of the Montenegro. Shaan opened his eyes. The surging and turbulent power surged through his limbs and bones. ?Every cell, every muscle, every bone... seems to be jumping for joy, pushing all aspects of the entire body''s qualities to a new level. ?Behind Xia En, there was a vague shadow looming, showing emotions of intimacy and admiration. ?This "second-stage" ability is none other than the second effect of [Communicating Ship Soul]. Temporarily summon the protection of the ship spirit, and gain the blessing of ship attributes again! ?Shaen would like to call it If before, one''s own strength could barely match the opponent''s, then now, the situation has become completely one-sided. As well as scattered extraordinary relics and props. In less than a minute, of the three secret travelers on the Montenegro, only Captain Marcelo was left! Monster...you monster! Im so poor More than 900 silver snake coins. Charge energy "have you had enough?" After getting rid of this person, Xia En jumped down from the height again and met the one-eyed man and Marcelo who rushed at the same time. ??He was shocked to see that the flesh and blood at the wound twisted and squirmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few breaths, the entire wound healed completely, leaving only an inconspicuous scar. At the same time, the surrounding air suddenly became solid and heavy, and a real pressure fell on the pirates who were tossed about by the air waves. ?Shaan called out the name of the Black Swan in his heart. ?Shaan paused and continued: "Because...Duke Nova?" ?Seeing the strange [Scarlet Coat of Arms], the scribe nodded and said calmly: "I recognize it." Do you recognize this? ??The threat of this kind of long-range unit is often the strongest in chaotic battles. It was his sneak attack that restricted Xia En at every turn. To be honest, my captain attacked your ship just because he wanted it. At this time, Shane raised his head and looked into Marcelo''s eyes calmly. Normally speaking, this harvest is quite generous, enough for Xia En to remodel the entire ship. The situation is similar to that of Angry Shark. The power is good, but...its still too slow! Many captains have been working for several years but cannot make so much money. As soon as they met, Marcelo felt a completely different kind of oppression than before. Xiao Hei. There was still a little regret and disbelief in his eyes. Early before he went to sea last time, he had been vaguely aware of the relationship between the Blood Wolf and Duke Nova. ??Xia En asked them to control the [Black Mountain] to follow the [Black Swan] and join the previous [Angry Shark]. boom! Like the sound of a watermelon bursting, it resounded in the sky above the Black Mountain. What happened? Why has his aura become so much stronger? Marcelo''s eyelids jumped. Facing the man in front of him, he felt a long-lost emotion called "fear" in his heart. There are also a considerable amount of various types of food, equipment, and accessories. The archer had just started to take aim when Xia En''s fist was already in front of him. ??If he is given another chance, he will never provoke the Black Swan because of the so-called [Scarlet Crest]! Die to me! Master, I am here! ??On the contrary, the shell of secret power on the surface of his fists gradually showed signs of being broken during the collision. Yes, it seems you have guessed the truth. ? Marcelos voice trembled, and he desperately activated the secret power in his body. The surface of his body was covered with a layer of dark yellow energy, making his fists harder. In front of the treasures gifted by the Sea Clan, worth hundreds of gold dragon coins, this gain seems somewhat insignificant. Failed to cause any substantial harm. Thirteen guns. Boom! ??As large pieces of the deck shattered, Xia En''s body turned into a meteor and rushed towards the archers on the observation deck. ??Marcelo couldn''t help but think to himself: "Is he really just a first-order secret pather?" The most difficult enemy, of course, must be dealt with first! ??The archer''s expression suddenly changed, his eyes glowed brightly, and he tried to shoot Xia En down from mid-air with an arrow. Too slow! Too slow! After testing his own defense, he finally stopped holding back, his muscles suddenly tightened, and he punched the opponent in the chest. Because, he only felt that what he hit was not a human body, but an unshakable mountain! At this time, Xia En''s action has just begun! ?His legs were slightly bent and he squatted down. The [Scarlet Coat of Arms] recovered from the [Black Mountain] undoubtedly shows that many pirates have similar connections with the Duke of Nova. ??Xia En sighed, then took the [Scarlet Coat of Arms] found from Marcelo and walked up to the first mate of the Angry Shark. ??The scimitar was wrapped in fire, and it was slashed from top to bottom. The scorching wind ignited the hair and corners of the clothes, and gave off a burning smell. ?After painstaking search, Xia En found a total of two ships... Thousands of copper coins. As expected But there is no harm without contrast. But the opponent was only a first-level secret pather after all, and he was stabbed in the arm by a hidden arrow. Then, punch after punch was thrown forward. boom! boom! boom! A muffled sound kept sounding. ??This scribe-like first mate was a smart man. After seeing Baroque''s death, he not only did not resist, but also took the initiative to help An collect the pirates on the ship. Then explode! With a "chila" sound, the arrowhead was pulled out with flesh and blood. Subsequently, the blooming **** fireworks fell one after another. Oh oh oh! ! ??The one-eyed man was also extremely frightened, but he still mobilized all his strength and secret power, integrated it into the scimitar in his hand, and shouted loudly. Three against one, the advantage is mine! ?Marcelo''s fist actually landed on Shane, but instead of feeling joy, he only felt deep fear. But thats not until Marcelo showed joy. "How can it be?" ?They stared blankly at Xia En in the center of the crowd, their throats became dry and they felt in awe. More than twenty barrels of rum and fresh water. ?Xia Ens expression was a little solemn. but Subsequently, the pleasant process of cleaning up the battlefield began. As soon as the captain died, the pirates threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender. For example, [Fire Elixir] can enhance flame affinity and resistance after being taken; Earth mole oil used for external application to increase skin toughness; Eye of the Wind Demon Sparrowenhances the five senses and improves concentration Man and ship become one! Its about to go! Continuing to lose blood like this will undoubtedly greatly reduce his combat effectiveness. ?Xia En pulled out his long sword, and the sword light and shadow came out at the same time, coming first and cutting off the one-eyed man''s head. Several cannonballs. As soon as Marcelo came up with this idea, he saw Xia En grabbing the arrow on his arm without changing his expression. It''s as if...Xia En''s already powerful strength has doubled again! ?This level of enhancement is incredible! In an instant, blood was dripping. It is worth mentioning that the broadsword used by "Crazy Shark" Baroque, the bow of the archer, and the scimitar of the one-eyed man are all extraordinary weapons with a quality of [rare] or above. Poof! ??Marcelo spurted out blood, his eyes wandered, and he made no sound. ?Him himself was targeted by pirates for this reason. In this case, the situation becomes a little bad. (End of this chapter) Chapter 59 Work hard and settle down! Chapter 59 Effort and precipitation! In fact. ??If it were just pirates of this level, of course Xia En would not be afraid. One would kill one, two would kill a pair! However, there are also differences among pirates. Pirates on the Seven Seas usually judge their strength and status based on the rewards offered by the Federation of the Seven Seas. 0 to 100 silver snake coins, mostly from low-life pirates. ??This is a group of people that the Federation is too lazy to specifically eliminate. They have almost no reputation or strength and only pose a threat to some small merchant ships and salvage ships. 100 to 1000 silver snake coins (10 gold dragon coins), it is a senior pirate with certain strength. ?However, Shane also knows that it is a very foolish thing to place your hope on the kindness of others. Even Xia En is not sure of victory against these pirate groups. It can be said that these two ships are the biggest spoils of this battle. ??Moreover, that ship looked completely different from other ships. After all, compared with Duke Nova, she and the Black Swan are just insignificant little shrimps, and she most likely will not take this trivial matter to heart. Compared with rough and unrestrained pirate ships such as the Black Mountain and the Angry Shark, it is like a slim and elegant lady with a unique sense of beauty. Over time, [hunting boats] also acquired the title of "maritime police". Xia En still has considerable respect for such a group of people. The only problem is Mr. Captain! The Giant is back! Is this a federal hunting ship? On the wave-based pattern, seven stars of different colors are distributed throughout the waves, which is simple but eye-catching. ?Following her gaze, Xia En glanced into the distance and saw the [Giant] approaching quickly with another ship of similar size. ??However, Xia En felt that it was not worthwhile to take these two ships to a new island. Even though the two ships were damaged in the battle, the main part of the ship is still intact, and it can be sold for a certain price after being towed to the port. The easiest way is to kill them all just like we did with the Blood Wolf pirates before! But after killing them all, who will sail these two pirate ships? ?Shaan has already tried it just now, and he couldn''t bind the two ships. What a nice view Xiao Hei, what are you thinking about? Xiao Hei! Faintly, Xia En heard the Black Swan''s sigh, and couldn''t help but have a strange expression. This piece of information about [Scarlet Coat of Arms]. Effort, precipitation! ??? In case the Duke of Norova really remembered himself, and then returned to the Duke Island, it was undoubtedly a way to find himself. Xia En''s mind was in a state of flux and he quickly made up his mind. ?For example, [Black Mountain], which was defeated by Xia En, is the best at this level. ?This incident disrupted Shane''s salvage plan. Did she deliberately spread the news because she hated herself because of the incident with the "Blood Wolf" and the old housekeeper? Or was it just a casual move? ?He also understood the situation of Joey and An. There was nothing attached to them on Duke Island, and they could leave whenever they wanted. However, its really time to go to the island to replenish supplies. "The big island closest to Duke Island seems to be called...Silver Moon Island?" There is no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay! ??Xia En rubbed his chin and thought: "The relationship between the governor of this island and the Duke of Nova seems not to be very harmonious, and it can be used to avoid the limelight." Having made his goal clear, Xia En smiled. ?This is one of the benefits of having a smaller crew. In addition to the regular federal navy, the Seven Seas Federation will also send [patrol ships] to patrol and hunt at sea. Especially when the other partys strength is far superior to ones own. His strategy for the "Royal Palace Dungeon" in Coral City has just begun. Not to mention clearing the level, he has not even seen the level''s mini-boss! Instead of immersing yourself in farming, it is better to go to the island to get the loot and treasures first, then purchase core components, upgrade the hull, recruit crew members... You are a ship! But, its really beautiful... Pirates over there, put down your weapons, surrender on the spot, dont resist needlessly! ?Shane had no fluctuation in his heart about being forced to stay away from Duke Island, and even had a little expectation. Even if the possibility is very low, Xia En will not gamble with his life. ?Especially for a medium-to-large three-masted sailing ship like the Black Mountain, the cost of construction is much higher than that of a ketch. ??Moreover, the most important thing is not the pirates, but the attitude of the Duke of Nova! There are generally first-level Mystics in pirate groups, and the number of Mystics increases with the increase in bounties. The target is naturally the rampant pirates. ??If pirates attack in the future, it will obviously not be so easy for him to continue to calmly farm monsters and level up. It is said that there are some famous pirate groups in the Seven Seas, which can compete with the governors of various islands and even the Federation of the Seven Seas! The reward is naturally too high to be measured. Hearing this, Xia En was slightly startled. ?Of course, that kind of pirate group is not something Xia En can come into contact with now. Obviously, this is a steamship! Think about it, the ability to bind multiple ships can only be unlocked after the power of the ship soul reaches a certain level. But in the waters near Duke Island, there are also some pirate groups with bounties of more than 10 gold dragon coins. To be honest, Shane prefers the latter. But at the next moment, a sound amplified by some kind of equipment sounded from the opposite ship ?It has a bright silver hull, a streamlined and graceful hull, no sails, and a tall chimney standing on the hull, which looks beautiful and advanced. As for the pirates who offer a bounty of more than 10 gold dragon coins, some truly strong players will begin to appear, and second-level and third-level mysticists may also appear. Having to control so many undisciplined pirates and provide them with food and drink is a headache just thinking about it. The difficulty of the "Palace Dungeon" is actually somewhat beyond his current strength. In fact, the Federation Navy will only go to sea to fight under special circumstances. Residents of the Seven Seas see more of these solitary [hunting ships]. ?Shaan glanced at the loot on the boat and made a decision in his heart. ?This is really a big trouble. ??This is the [Star Wave] symbol of the Federation of the Seven Seas, representing the authority of the Federation. ??If the "Blood Duke" happens to arrive, Xia En will have no choice but to escape from this sea area. Shaan guessed the identity of the ship. They will annihilate pirates, rescue trapped merchant ships and salvage ships, and have an excellent reputation among the people. Its tasteless to eat, its a pity to throw it away! is talking about this group of prisoners and these two ships. ?Joy walked to Xia En and asked a little embarrassedly. ??He didnt have much sense of belonging to Duke Island, and he could still experience new customs and customs on other islands. It will be more efficient to wait until the money is converted into combat power and then go back to conquer the dungeon. Mr. Captain, what should we do with these prisoners? As the distance shortened, Xia En saw the logo on the hull and couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. It seems that we cant return to Duke Island. At this time, Joey suddenly exclaimed: "Huh? It''s not just the Giant! There is also a... such a beautiful ship!" ?Shaan: ??? Today is a very busy day. I still have some troubles to deal with at home. There is only one update left. Sorry everyone! (Bang bang bang!) (End of this chapter) Chapter 60 Ship spirit level LV2! Chapter 60 Ship Soul Level LV2! It didnt take long. ?Dulan, the captain of the hunting ship [Petrel], boarded the deck of the Black Swan with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. Im sorry, captain, I misunderstood. ?After getting closer, it was not difficult for him to see that the prisoners tied to the deck were extremely vicious pirates. ??And this young man standing in front of the pirates, covered in blood and with a sinister aura, was actually the "victim" in this encounter! Its no wonder that Dulan had such a misunderstanding. He had just heard from the captain of the Giant that there were two pirate ships besieging a salvage ship here. He subconsciously thought that the salvage ship had been occupied by pirates. Who would have thought that the captain of the Black Swan could be so ferocious and completely defeat the pirates in such a short period of time. It doesnt matter, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved. Xia En smiled: "Don''t tell me, I really thought you were going to fire at me just now." ?As he spoke, he observed the captain of the hunting boat. ?Dulan''s appearance is somewhat different from that of ordinary humans. He has exceptionally thick brown hair on his cheeks and arms, and his body is burlier and stronger than ordinary people. The most eye-catching thing is the pair of fluffy ears on top of his head and the gently swaying tail behind him. Asian people. ?Another peculiar race in the Seven Seas, which is manifested in the fact that it possesses the physical characteristics and abilities of certain animals. In their words, this is a phenomenon of bloodline atavism. Strictly speaking, the Sea Tribe is also a type of demi-human. It was only because of the large number of Hai tribe that it was divided separately. Judging from the shape of the pair of animal ears, Duran should be a tiger-man among demi-humans. ??More than the racial issue, what worried Shane more was the faint sense of oppression coming from the captain. What a strong aura...is he a second-level secret path user? Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. ?This was the first time he had seen a higher-level Mystic with his own eyes. Thinking about it carefully, Duran dared to approach even though he knew there were two pirate ships here. He must have absolute confidence in his own strength. These two ships, are [Black Mountain] and [Wrathful Shark]? ?Dulan looked around, a flash of surprise in his eyes. In his memory, the captains of the two ships were both experienced first-order mystics, especially the former. The bounty of 800 silver snake coins was enough to illustrate the strength of the [Black Mountain]. But not far away, the scene on the pirate ship can only be described as "shocking". ??The deck was full of cracks and large pits, with the corpses of pirates lying strewn about, and traces of being bombarded by huge force could be seen everywhere. ? And the ship that was attacked seemed to have only three people including the captain! ?Thinking of this, Dulan''s attitude became much more enthusiastic and he started chatting with Xia En. My name is Dulan, I am the captain of [Petrel] On the other side, [Giant] belatedly arrived next to Black Swan. After seeing the situation on the ship clearly, not to mention ordinary sailors, even Reina could not help but be stunned. ?She knew that Xia En was very strong, but she didn''t expect that Xia En was so strong! ?With only three people, two famous pirate groups were defeated head-on. ??Leina had only heard of such exaggerated deeds in stories told by bards. It seems that this time... I am nosy. Just when she was thinking this, she heard Xia En waving to her: "Captain Lena, I have something to ask you. Please come to the boat to talk." Not long after, Lena boarded the deck of the Black Swan. Xia En said straight to the point: "Captain Lena, are you willing to take over these two pirate ships?" Hearing this, Reina was stunned and quickly asked: "What does this mean?" Xia En explained: "To be honest, I plan to go to Silver Moon Island for some adventure in the near future. It is really inconvenient to bring these two broken ships." "I am willing to sell these two ships at a lower price, Captain Reina It would be a big help to me if you were willing to buy them. ?Whether in his past life or in this life, Xia En has always been a person with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. ??Leina reminded herself when the pirates attacked, and found a [hunting ship] to come to the "rescue". Although it didn''t help much, this kindness was real. Coincidentally, Xia En didn''t want to take these burdens on the road, so he simply sold them to her at a low price as a favor. ??If Leina didn''t accept it, he would have no choice but to sell it to Captain Duran nearby. Now that Captain Shane has said so ???Leina was a happy person, and without too many excuses, she immediately sent someone to take out all the savings on the ship, put them in a sack, and gave them directly to Xia En without counting how much money they had. Captain Shane, if you encounter anything in the future, just come to me! Im just a loyal person! But, having said thatSilver Moon Island? ?Leina asked curiously: "Is it because you went there because of the big event on Silver Moon Island?" Um? What big thing? I''m just trying to avoid the limelight! ?Xia En was confused in his heart, but his face remained calm, neither denying nor affirming. Is it the legendary [Blood Moon Night]? ??As an official of the Seven Seas Federation, Dulan has an intelligence network that cannot be underestimated, he said casually. It is said that every few years, the moon reflected on the sea near Silver Moon Island will turn into a blood-colored full moon. At this time, if you dive into the sea water covered by the blood moon, you will enter a strange space different from the current world. It contains magic potions, inheritance and secret treasures from the previous era, attracting many ships to flock to it. It is a rare event on Silver Moon Island. Calculating the time, it is indeed almost the time of [Blood Moon Night]. ?Shaan: ??Is there such a thing? These days, he is obsessed with grinding monsters and leveling up, and he really doesnt pay much attention to some rumors at sea. ?However, since we happened to encounter this big event, we might as well get involved. After some small talk, Duran paid the bounty of the two big pirates and left with the Giant and two ships of pirates. ?With the guardianship of the Petrel, the pirates on the ship obviously cannot make any waves. What awaits them will be the punishment of federal prison. The next day. Xia En came to the palace of Coral City again. ?Although he had decided to leave this sea area temporarily, considering that there might not be such a good place to spawn monsters in the future, he chose to stay one more day and raise the ship spirit level to LV2 before leaving. Otherwise, being stuck on the last 20% of experience is like constipation, which is extremely uncomfortable. ?This is also Xia En''s habit of playing games. If he is just a little short of leveling up, he would rather stay up all night to get this experience. After a hard fight. Xia En once again chopped off the head of a beautiful half-human, half-coral maid. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? Looking at this line of text, Xia En felt a little hopeful. He has killed several such maid monsters and is only one step away from being upgraded! What will happen if the ship spirit level is raised to LV2? With this thought in mind, Xia En really chose to absorb it. As the [Secret Sea Crystal] precipitates, warm and cold power pours into the body. What followed was Xiao Hei''s long cry of joy and the illusive and hazy sound of the waves. In the wash of waves of strange and mysterious power, certain impurities in the ship''s soul were washed away, resulting in the reshaping and growth of the soul, just like the transformation of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. Ship Soul Level: LV2 (0%)! Blood Moon Island in the previous chapter has been changed to Silver Moon Island. (End of this chapter) Chapter 61 【Ship Soul Synchrony】 Chapter 61 [Ship Soul Synchrony] Black Swan''s "Firepower" +2! Speed+2! "Strong" +2! ?"Mystery" +2! At the moment of upgrade, the transformation of the Black Swan''s ship soul also happened to Xia En. ??The all-round improvement of various attributes made him refreshed and energetic, and the fatigue from fighting the coral monster dissipated in an instant. But, cant this talent be superimposed with [Captains Prestige] Hearing this, Luticia relaxed and spoke in as dignified a tone as possible. Master, I seem to have become stronger! After synchronizing with [Seawater Control/Affinity], the Black Swan''s speed in seawater will naturally increase. What kind of boat am I driving? Its like a living Gundam! From a child of about four or five years old to a child in his teens, he speaks a lot more, but his vocabulary still needs to be increased. Luticia''s fleshy little face was a little dazed, and she quickly asked: "Have we neglected you in some way recently?" A talent of epic quality? It can be heard that Xiao Hei''s voice has become slightly more mature. There are also several parchment-like pages. ?But then I thought about it, if it could really be superimposed, wouldnt it mean that the stronger the captain, the stronger the ship, and the stronger the ship, the stronger the captain? ?In Xia En''s opinion, since the ancient "Xinwang" is to preserve the fire of civilization, it is impossible to set a fatal trap in the "Ember Treasure"! Otherwise, wouldnt this treasure never see the light of day again? ?Shaan could tell at a glance that those were probably other fragments of the Royal Magic Book. However, lets not talk about the powerful mechanism of the projection body. Soon, Xia En''s consciousness temporarily returned to its original form, allowing An to go to the sea to retrieve these supplies. The only thing that remains unchanged is the intimacy and reverence in its tone. Within ten moves, Xia En chopped off its head and absorbed its secret sea crystals. Description: In the battles and killings, the connection between you and the ship spirit becomes closer and closer. ? Come to think of it, there is also an experience compensation mechanism for ship spirit levels. The higher the level, the less experience points you get from killing the same monsters. Anyway, this minor injury will probably heal on its own in a few days. ??Due to the lessons learned from the sunken ship, Xia En did not bring anyone here, for fear that the so-called "curse" would infect them. Please cheer for me...Eh? What are you enjoying? Xia En followed the clear map and swam all the way to the door of a small church in the lower city. Sure enough This is not the only corner of the world that is polluted by darkness. Looking carefully at the effect of this talent, Xia En was even more pleasantly surprised. The harmony between souls can surpass even light! The surrounding houses under the coral look small and dilapidated, perhaps they were former slums. But what Xia En cares more about is... Then, I wish Mr. Gods messenger a smooth journey and a speedy return. ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. An ability as buggy as [Captains Majesty] is nothing more than a legendary talent. Xiao Hei, how do you feel now? ??If he encounters a pirate ship of the level of [Black Mountain] and [Angry Shark] again, he can directly drive up the Black Swan. ?No one would have thought that the ancient "King of Salary" would hide treasure in such a remote place. ?Of course, he cannot rule out the possibility that he will be cursed. Quality: Epic In Xia En''s eyes, an ancient and mysterious door appeared... Just step on the left foot and the right foot to reach the sky! ?Hearing the voice of Xia Ens soul, Xiao Hei was deeply moved. Xia En said seriously: "Without you, I wouldn''t be able to get where I am today." ?Xia En couldn''t help but complain. At the same time, he held the treasure map and the map for comparison. Xia En said calmly: "The light will eventually come, but before that, a little patience is needed." "And now, our relationship has become closer, and I can finally share my power with you." Furthermore, the palace has been occupied by corals for many years, not less than a day or two. There are three bottles of medicine in bronze bottles. The most outrageous thing is the talent of [High-speed Regeneration]! ?This means that Xia En will no longer need to use a shipwright to repair the hull. ?Looking at the strange prismatic sign on the top of the church that was the same as the treasure map, his heart was beating fast and he was inevitably a little excited. I will continue to work hard! Seeing this line of text, Xia En was thoughtful. A strange staff. Never had such a wonderful feeling! Ship Soul Experience +1% ?That is the [Ember Treasure]! It is a treasure that even a powerful consul like the Duke of Nova may not be able to discover! ?After a long search and detours along the way, Xia En finally came to the place closest to this treasure. Have I helped the master? ?This comparison finally identified the treasure location of [Ember Treasure]! Sughris Church...yes, its here! ??This small church is located on the edge of the city, and beyond, there is the normal seabed that is not covered by coral. Unlock talent: Ship Soul Synchronization! Xia En said swornly: "I swear in the name of Lord Hui that one day, I will return to this sea area and fulfill my promise to you." What a great guy, you really didnt disappoint me! Note: This talent cannot be stacked with "Captain''s Majesty"! "certainly." The purpose of the test has been achieved. Xia En quickly swam out of the palace and came to the college teaching building to say goodbye to Luticia. This place is so remote, no wonder almost no one can find it. "By the way, the things I promised Mr. God Envoy last time are ready. Please accept them first!" Luticia sighed. The long years have made her patient. ??Black Swan can restore its durability by itself and "grow" back to its full strength. On behalf of my knights, I thank you for your generosity. After saying that, Luticia asked someone to present the items that had been prepared in advance. And this is what Xia En wants most. ?In addition, Luticia also sent a carefully marked map. "What? Mr. God''s messenger, you want to leave this place?" Owner! ! Current synchronic talents: sea water control/affinity; hardened skin; high-speed regeneration From this moment on, the ship will possess some of your talents and abilities! At this moment, the damage the Black Swan suffered during the battle with the pirate ship is repairing and healing itself bit by bit, quickly "healing" to an intact appearance. Through this deep tunnel, you can reach the deepest point. The epic talent, which is only one level lower than it, is obviously not that bad. Feeling the wonderful experience of upgrading the boat soul, Xia En turned his attention back to the present and asked in his heart. No, I said, its only temporary. "alright, I got it." ?Shaan felt a little regretful. By chance, there is a coral monster over there, let it see how powerful we are! Is it more difficult to obtain experience points after upgrading? Oh oh oh oh oh! ] ? ? ? Xia En strode forward, holding a long sword, and struggled with this unlucky coral monster. Not long after, Shane discovered a passage leading to the underground near the church. Simply put, this is a talent that strengthens the ship itself. Hardened Skin, which enhances the Black Swan''s ability to resist strikes. The previous chapter has been revised a lot, so you can go back and take a look at it again. Sorry, everyone! (bow!) (End of this chapter) Chapter 62 [Certificate of Salary King] Chapter 62 [Certificate of King Xin] In the dark and lightless underwater tunnel. ?The door at the end of the passage is completely black and made of special stone. It looks ancient and heavy. The door is engraved with densely packed mysterious words and symbols, which extend from the edge of the door to both sides of the passage. It is both like a protective barrier and a cage that seals a certain existence. This is the dark door in the logbook... Shane swam forward. ?Each seed is encased in a golden, amber-like crystal that appears to remain active. Forward, forward! But the scene in this "treasure place" is closer to those of advanced research institutes on the earth. C02-Flower seeds ?Xia En simply stopped thinking about things he couldnt understand. Gate of EmberBoundaryBrand ?Shaan was secretly surprised. The person who gets this mark may become a new king, right? But in the logbook, the two sharks seemed to have entered behind this door? Even on the ground, dozens of broken ambers and dead seeds can be seen. Thinking of this, Xia En simply stretched out his hand and tried to push the door open. The closer we get to the stone gate, the heavier and more solid the water around us seems. ?Such a heavy and thick stone door is obviously not something that ordinary people can push open. Celery FlowerDudu GrassRoland Narcissus You will be respected by some humans and hated by some ethnic groups. They may have thought that there were precious magic potions hidden in these ambers, but after prying them open, they found that they were just ordinary seeds, so they smashed them to vent their anger. Step forward over my corpse! You have passed through the barrier set by the Ancient Mystery Pather! Only then did Xia En realize that it was not blood, but embers that had not been extinguished! ?At the same time, an indescribable feeling swept through his body in an instant. In the room on the left, there are crop seeds. Acquire status "Certificate of the Salary King!" Xia En has seen a lot of things under the sea, and he wont be deterred by this sight. ?His eyes with blazing fire seemed to be looking at Xia En at this moment across a long period of time and an immeasurable distance. ?Although this kind of writing is slightly different from modern writing, it is still within the range of legibility. Description: The mark left by King Xin for those who come after him can only be obtained by those recognized by the "Gate of Embers". The fire is about to go out, but the king is nowhere to be seen. ?Xia En thought for a moment and probably figured out what was going on. ?However, these cabinets showed signs of being rummaged through. ??He seemed to be in an illusory sea of ??fire, and his body became illusory and formless, strangely unable to feel any pain. But in the raging fire, his skin, flesh, and even bones burned like firewood! In a daze, Xia En raised his head. After obtaining this brand, you can have a sense of the "Ember Treasure". ?Invisible pressure, through the protection of the ship soul, acts on the body of the projection, and a vague, chaotic and mysterious atmosphere lingers around. ?The walls and floors here are all made of a silver-white stone, exuding a strange pale shimmer all the time. On the contrary, King Xin also prepared such a brand in order to allow other treasures to be discovered. However, there is no similar content recorded in the log. Instead, there was a cold and moist feeling on the skin, and a slightly fishy smell on the tip of the nose. Xia En touched his chin. Sha En heard the king say this. C01-Crop seeds How do I open this door? ??The dark red runes on the stone door suddenly lit up, igniting like flames and clinging to Xia En''s body along the palm of his hand. B01- Suzuka To an individual, they may not matter. The difference is that he has already arrived at the space inside the door. Looking further ahead, there are two corpses of white bones that have long since decayed. Just as he thought, King Xin set up the [Ember Treasure] not to murder the latecomers who explored the treasure. B02-Hawk Cow ??? Before Xia En could take a closer look, several lines of text appeared in front of his eyes. What are the requirements for recognition? Does the mysterious attribute meet a certain standard? Northern Lanke WheatSiaboli PotatoDunker Soybean In his opinion, both Duke Island and the technological level of the previous era are still at a relatively backward level. They can all enter the gate, there is no reason why they cant enter by themselves. It reveals a sense of ancient and advanced technology. Xia En turned around and saw that the stone door behind him was still closed quietly, just like before. It seems that while Xia En is looking at the stone door, it is also looking at this strange visitor. They were wearing researcher-like white lab coats and fell down facing the door, as if they had died while escaping from something. ?Shaan sighed and continued walking deeper into the corridor. But the problem is This uniform Soon, Xia En looked at both sides of the wall. Seeing this, Xia En has completely understood what the treasure in this [Ember Treasure] is. ??Xia En has never heard of most of these names, and they are obviously species from the last era. Obviously, every room here contains species from the Xinwang era! With the coming of the great flood, countless species are bound to become extinct, but King Xin preserved the seeds and blood of these species for the future! ?In the room is a huge multi-layered cabinet, with the names of different seeds written on each cabinet. ?If Xia En guessed correctly, this was the work of the treasure hunter who came here before. ?At the end of the sea of ??fire, there is a throne made of piles of white bones. On the throne is a majestic man wearing a crown. Drive them out! Become the new fire! At every certain distance, you can see a door. On the back of his right hand, there was a dark red mark. Xia En looked closely and found that he had arrived at a special space without sea water. On the right side are the seeds of flowers and plants. next moment. Soon, all the flames and hallucinations disappeared. ?At this point, the markings on the door have changed. On the ground next to the door, there were some long-dried blood stains. ??The two nearest doors happened to be open. Xia En looked in and couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. He calmed down and began to observe the enclosed space on the seabed. Quality: Epic After getting closer, Xia En could see that the mysterious characters were dark red in color, like solidified blood, adding an ominous atmosphere. B03-Ice Toad Obviously, this door is more like the entrance of a barrier, which can be entered and exited without opening or closing. The burning sensation spread quickly across the body surface. ?However, his palm just touched the surface of the stone door. The sign next to the door is also marked with words. Could it be that they were not recognized by this door? But for the whole world and the whole civilization, this is an extremely precious treasure! But when he opened the door of room B01, the sight in front of him made Xia En frown. (End of this chapter) Chapter 63 [Eternal Ganoderma] Chapter 63 [Eternal Lingzhi] In the center of Room B01 is a cylindrical life-support device with several bronze pipes connected to it. This device was supposed to contain the embryos and nutrient solution of the "Tian Sheng Suzuka". ?However, when Xia En walked into the room, he only saw broken glass shards everywhere. The embryo of "Tiansheng Suzuka" was nowhere to be seen, not even a single bone was left. There were large splatters of blood on the ground and walls. It looked like a very tragic killing had occurred here. Somethings wrong This is my first day entering Ember Shelter No. 21, and I am honored to be selected for the King''s "Fire Project." Damn it, why did it even come out? I dont know what happened, but I heard A09 roaring in the corridor, and the unique smell of A11 came through the door. But if I don''t do some things, who will do them? On the other one, some characteristics of the sharks can still be barely discerned. If you dont know what to write, just write whatever you want. Different from the previous brief annotations, there are longer annotations beside the doors of Class A areas, introducing their weaknesses and origins. After seeing the words on the door clearly, his pupils shrank instantly. Her symptoms are not exactly consistent with the situation after swallowing [Eternal Ganoderma]? A03-Eternal Ganoderma A01-Coral Plasma Weaknesses: light; flame; dark chocolate. ?Xia En took a slight breath. It is exactly the same as the "beheaded" crew members in the sunken ship. Xia En walked to the white coat and searched for a while, and found a yellowed diary in the coat. In the passage here, blood stains and signs of struggle began to appear, as well as some strange damaged equipment. And this [Coral Primarch] is obviously the culprit who turned the capital of Shoton into the Coral City! One of the bodies was highly decomposed, with only a skeleton wrapped in a white coat remaining. That is exactly the case. After coming to this conclusion, Xia En left the room and headed deeper into the passage. ?Seeing these descriptions, Xia En suddenly thought of the Queen of the Sea Tribe, Luticia. Tomorrow is the day when long-term hibernation officially begins. I dont know why, but I feel a little uneasy. ifier Although I dont know why, according to the requirements of the shelter, every researcher must write a diary every day. ? It seems that the riots of Type A beings also caused huge changes in the entire sanctuary, forcing this "Sigvar Lance" to wake up from hibernation. Even a reckless and greedy treasure hunter should not do such a thing. I, Sigvar Lance, am leaving now! A creature that can transform a city''s humans into corals. It is extremely active and polluting. It does not need to be fed and requires director-level permission to come into contact with it. Ganoderma lucidum can prolong life after being swallowed. ?Perhaps it is what the diary calls a "suppression device." An incorporeal creature living in the shadows will be dragged into the shadows once it looks at it for three seconds. Coincidentally, the two corpses have another thing in common, they both have lost their heads. However, I dare to conclude that blindly relying on gods is destined to embark on the road of self-destruction. But the monsters in Area A...even through the door with a magic seal, I dare not approach them. "Um?" ?However, judging from Sigvars missing head and the missing animals in Area B, his action probably failed. ??Only the blood stains left at the scene and the information in the room prove that they actually existed. My hibernation is forcibly ended! Sure enough, all the ancient creatures originally stored in these rooms had no bones left, without exception. Salary 287 years The information in the diary revealed a corner of the mystery of this [Ember Shelter] for him. March 24 ?It wasnt until he walked into room B12 that Xia En made an unexpected discovery. He tried to use the power of gods to integrate humans and corals so as to survive the great flood. The price of having an extremely long life is that you will continue to change from old age to youth, to infancy, until you are an embryo that has not yet sprouted consciousness, and then completely die. Soon, Xia En came to the door of a room numbered [A01]. It is said that those who exist in the shadows have not died, but are imprisoned in corners that cannot be observed or touched, making unknown wailings day after day, year after year. Xia En looked at the door of room A03. The door was ajar, and the container in the room was empty. I have a suppression device distributed by the shelter, and I may be able to shut down one of the Class A beings. Weakness: None ?This reminded Shane of "Andre" who was always left in the treasure cache in the shipwreck log. Wait, A18...is crying? ?There are two corpses lying in this room. I have gradually become accustomed to life in the shelter. Another kingdom is about to fall. - Salary King] May...the firewood always remain! ] ? ? ? After quickly reading the contents of this diary, Xia En''s heart was filled with waves. I heard that the king had planned to dispose of all Class A existences harmlessly, but was rejected by the director of the shelter. In fact, he did successfully create a few transformers who can maintain their sanity. They only need to be baptized by the brilliance of the Lord of Radiance to melt the coral and restore the transformers to their original state. Weakness: Flame; the divine magic of the Lord of Radiance. Your long life will be turned into nourishment for this creature. To my colleagues, or those who come after me, if anyone sees this diary, please at least remember my name and remember that there were people who struggled with all their strength in this ember shelter. The king of the Kingdom of Shoton has embarked on a wrong path. Xia En frowned. It is so heavyweight just in A01, and the subsequent existence of Class A will definitely not be simple either. If A06 is also released, everyone''s heads will be chopped off sooner or later! No one can escape! These animals have probably been reduced to Category A rations, so not even their bones are left. I now feel that the king''s decision is correct. Just as he guessed, the creatures in Areas B and C are "fire seeds" specially preserved by King Xin. ?He walked out of the room and searched several nearby rooms that started with B. ?? But apart from these two types of ordinary creatures, there are also very dangerous and strange Type A creatures. A02-Wandering Darkness To be honest, I am very afraid of death and dont want to take risks at all. I hope the little ones in Area A won''t cause any trouble while we are sleeping. The seeds in area C and the animals in area B are fine, as long as the incubator is inspected every day for leaks. After that, there were many days of short diaries with little information, so Shane quickly skipped them. This means that someone once took this [Eternal Lingzhi] from this [Ember Shelter] and gave it to Luticia! Are you a later treasure hunter? Or Aboriginal people in shelters? ?While Xia En was thinking, a vast and melodious barcarolle suddenly sounded in his ears... (End of this chapter) Chapter 64 【Egg of Ancient Dragon】 Chapter 64 [Egg of the Ancient Dragon] I dont know when this boat song was handed down. The song is rough and hoarse, ancient and confused. In a daze, Xia En saw some hallucination-like scenes. An old captain stepped off his ship. ?Beside him, there were countless, shadowy people. People were talking and chatting in low voices, and their words were mixed with emotions that were so complicated that they were difficult to distinguish. Surrounded by them, the old captain climbed onto the high platform. ?However, that was not a promised land like a throne, but a towering guillotine! ?The sharp blade glowed with an icy cold light in the darkness. Xia En simply followed his instinct, cut off the flesh and blood tentacles on the road, and rushed into the room where the call came from. Augustin Norwichlegendary pirate, master of the Black Sail Fleet, and king of the maritime principality. ??If this was not a projected body, Xia En might be able to touch some scarlet blood. Xia En felt a little horrified. ???If it were a creature in the sea, Xia En would have to fight it to the death for the [Secret Sea Crystal], but this thing was difficult to kill and was of no benefit. But after glancing at the power of the ship soul on the panel (2/100), he knew that he had no time to hesitate. The next moment, countless wriggling flesh buds submerged the projected body. ?Shaan looked at the half-open door of A06, and finally gave up the bold idea of ??taking it away. gramophone? When looking at the magic mirror, people will think of happy things and laugh involuntarily, which is helpful to improve depression. But now Xia En is not sure how to use it flexibly. If the pollution of this kind of barcarolle can be controlled one day, there may be a chance for it to see the light of day again. Please choose your trophy! ?Countless tiny granules touch the wrist and spread from the silver-white floor. The whole style of painting is wrong! ??Xia En originally wanted to see what infinitely replicated fried cod tastes like, but when he opened the door, he saw that the fried fish inside was long gone. There was a cry like a baby, and there was also a strange salty smell of sea water. It is not impossible to find one or two [forbidden relics] that are not so harmful! Those with weaker wills will be assimilated by the gramophone, spreading the "bargain pollution". Wake up quickly! When I was young, people often compared him with me, but when I became an adult, such voices became much less common. Xia En didnt have time to think too much and held it in his arms. Immediately, countless fleshy tentacles came out and wrapped around Xia En''s body! He looked around and found that the room around him was still closed and silent, with no one in sight. ?There was an incision on the black robe at some point. To be precise, not only the black robe, but also a shallow wound appeared on the skin under the black robe. It''s better to save the last of your ship soul strength and see if you can pick up anything good. In the crowd, some were humming along with the singing, while others were shouting. However, long-term use may cause addiction, so please try to avoid addiction. ??Yellow and white little people hid in the shadows and snickered, their vision was filled with dense spores, and there was a gentle caressing feeling behind them... Can be used as emergency food when necessary. ?Shaan had a weird expression. He thought A06 was some kind of dangerous and vicious monster, but it turned out to be just an ancient object? Owner! Whats wrong with you? A08-Mirror of Laughter ?Different from other confusing auditory hallucinations, this call seemed particularly clear. ?Xiao Heis shouting sounded in his mind. ?Just when Xia En was about to enter A14''s room, he suddenly caught a glimpse of scarlet color in his peripheral vision. Just a mortal king born in an era without me. - Salary King] 1. Ancient Dragon''s Egg Weakness: Self-control ?At the same time, Xia En instinctively felt a great danger, bit his tongue sharply, and woke up with the help of the pain. Suddenly, he felt some kind of call from somewhere. But after boarding the high platform, the old captain smiled and sang the boat song in a hoarse voice. What a wicked thing! A07-Infinite Fried Fish Fried cod that can self-replicate and proliferate in a specific container, but the total amount of reproduction in a single time will not exceed the container holding it. ?On the container in the center of the room, there is a pure white and round egg, which has an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Submarine is over! There should be an introduction about it at the door of room A06. No matter how others reacted, the blade of the guillotine kept falling downwards without stopping. ??If this relic is used well, it will definitely be a great killing weapon. ?This review is really a surprise. ?Just a second before the blade was about to cut open the skin of the old captain''s neck. I think it was taken away together with [Eternal Lingzhi]. ?To put it bluntly, it''s like the fantasy world you see after eating toadstools. Soon, Xia En felt something strange on the back of his neck and reached out to touch the back of his neck. If you really want to say it, it is probably a [forbidden relic]! Wait a minute, since its a relic next moment. Weakness: Gramophone body That was just now Obviously, this weird barcarolle is the true face of the so-called "curse"! ?Furthermore, this barcarolle seems to have contagious qualities. Anyone who has listened to or sung the barcarolle will be beheaded or be beheaded. This object misses its old owner all day long, constantly repeating the song of that day. Anyone who hears the barcarolle may fall into the hallucination of being beheaded. A06-Beheading Gramophone In this bizarre sensory experience, Xia En could not distinguish between reality and illusion for a moment. ?Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly became energetic and began to search along the aisles one by one. Gramophone recording the barcarolle sung by "Augustine Norwich" at his execution. Obviously, this is some kind of out-of-control Type A existence. After noticing the arrival of an outsider, he finally reacted slowly, revealing his weird and ferocious side! In the blink of an eye, the ugly fleshy sprouts gathered into a carpet of flesh, covering the surrounding walls and floors. From all directions, there were disgusting sounds of flesh and blood crawling. Weakness: Big Eater? Please, I''ve had enough of this hellish place! The side effect is that after eating the fried fish, you will not have appetite for any other food for a period of time. If I dont wake up in time, my head will really be chopped off! Human, please take me out of here! ?At this moment, Xia En became bolder. ?Xia En was a little hesitant at first. Without hesitation, Xia En turned around and ran deeper into the corridor. ?Shaan: ?Xia Ens eyes twitched. ?Although most of the A-type items are very dangerous, there are also treasures like [Eternal Lingzhi] that have more benefits than disadvantages. ?Xia En cursed secretly, became extremely vigilant, and walked out of the room quickly. ?While running forward, various visions appeared around Xia En. After all, this might also be a trap set by those Type A beings. ??If the previous Type A existences were evil, then these things are completely harmonious! 2.Researcher''s coat 3.Sigvar''s diary (End of this chapter) Chapter 65 Silver Moon Island! Chapter 65 Silver Moon Island! Black Swan, captain''s cabin. ?Xia En took a long breath and gradually calmed down. That feeling just now, could it be that the legendary fungus comes first and then the villain? He muttered secretly and turned to look at the trophy in front of him. Old Dragon''s Egg Type: Material/Crew Quality: Epic The amount of information gained from this submersible voyage is quite large. ??You are silent now, have you fallen into a deep sleep, or simply don''t want to pay attention to him? An analogy is the relationship between the federation of country M and the states. Then, there are the locations of various scattered ships and pirate ships. Its just that the treatment enjoyed by different ships is naturally different. Is that the Black Swan? Under the bright sunshine, many large and small ships were sailing into the port in an orderly manner. Looking at the sea under the sunlight, his thoughts seemed to fluctuate with the waves. Its not that [Ember Treasure] doesnt live up to its name. Mysterious magic fluctuations spread in the air. Since the [Blood Moon Night] is approaching, the boat traffic here is much greater than usual, and you even have to queue up to dock at the shore. It may sound inconsistent with federal laws, but in the Seven Seas Federation, this is actually a normal phenomenon. ??Moreover, you cant gain ship soul experience! It is undoubtedly a wiser choice to explore again later. The existing dragons and ancient dragons are almost two species. ??Gu Long Dan said nothing. Its time to set off for Silver Moon Island! In fact, those seeds and materials of paleontology can cause an uproar in the academic field of the Federation if you take out some of them casually. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are priceless. Master, cold... Such special treatment naturally made these captains a little unhappy. ?Hearing this name, the captains who had some opinions just now fell silent instantly. ??But if you think about it carefully, this ancient dragon egg may be older than Xia Endu, and it is not considered child labor. Hiss...[Black Mountain]? ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, walked to the rudder, and instilled his will into the body of the Black Swan. As soon as it entered the harbor, someone was waving and guiding on the shore. Hey, dont underestimate my intelligence network! Secondly, there are the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce and the federal official ships. Their status is only lower than that of the consul. Xia Enke remembered that it was its call that attracted him in the [Ember Shelter]. ??The ship of Silver Moon Island Archon "Viper" Quinn should naturally occupy the most central area, and there are also specialized security personnel patrolling and reviewing it. Speaking of this, we have to mention the "autonomy" of each island. ?With Xia Ens control over the Black Swan, he is not afraid of it doing anything. Proof of the Salary King...Ember Treasures...Coral Primarch...The technological level displayed by the shelter...The researchers suspected of escaping from it... Otherwise, they will be regarded as a federal enemy. The sporadic clues were connected together, vaguely revealing a hidden corner of the world to Xia En. Near a large crescent-shaped island. next moment. But judging from the situation of this exploration, this is obviously not a good place for snorkeling. Description: The dragon egg that was supposed to be hatched hundreds of years ago has a weak intelligence inside it. at this time. They were created to be too powerful and even offended the gods, so they became weak as they reproduced from generation to generation. Hello? Are you there? If you are a dragon, that''s fine too. Xia En is not in a hurry. There is still a long time to come. At worst, it will be spent slowly. Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En gently patted the eggshell. Shane made up his mind. The [Blood Wolf], [Angry Shark], and even the [Black Mountain] fell into his hands! ?This is the bay of Silver Moon Island. Old Mike talked eloquently: "The new captain of the Black Swan is no ordinary person. He has destroyed three pirate ships in this month." Lets go! Target, Silver Moon Island! ??If [Ember Treasure] is a dungeon that can quickly improve his strength, he may choose to stay here for a few more days. Legend has it that the ancient dragon is a life originally created by God. He found a blanket and laid it under the ancient dragon egg to make a nest for it. Edible, can be used to refine potions, and can also be bound as a crew member. Hey, you guys are really not well informed. Subsequently, Shane walked out of the cabin and came to the deck. The entire inner ring of the "Crescent Moon" actually has ports where ships can dock. Old Mike, if you fart, hurry up! What news have you heard again? His primary goal now is still to improve his strength. Without strength, everything else is empty talk. ?Xiao Hei''s voice sounded a little aggrieved. ?Of course, once they leave Silver Moon Islands territorial waters, Silver Moon Island has no right to interfere with the federations encirclement and suppression of pirates. ?????A few days later. Purple epic! Can it also be bound as a crew member? But on the one hand, Xia En has no channel to sell them. If they are handed over to ordinary businessmen, they may not be able to display their true value at all. Along the way, we passed several salvage boats of similar size that were queuing up. ?Xia En couldnt hold himself tight. But the real truth is still separated by endless fog. Someone asked angrily: "What''s the origin of that ship? Why is it in front of us?" ??The old captain of the Black Swan has also traveled the route to Silver Moon Island, so he left some impression on others. On the other hand, the existence of rioting Category A has turned the shelter into an extremely dangerous situation. At noon. Its not too late to explore the secrets of the world when you become stronger. At this time, a captain with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks laughed. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A thin layer of ice crystals spread under the feet, crystal clear in the sun, and looked quite magnificent. ?For example, on Silver Moon Island, as long as pirates do not take the initiative to provoke or start a fight, they can temporarily avoid being wanted by the federation. A ketch with a black swan engraved on its bow slowly sailed into the port. Xia Ens eyes were shining, and it was no wonder that he had to bear the huge mental pollution to rescue the dragon egg. Going to explore now will definitely lead to a life-or-death situation. Simply put, each island managed by a consul is a small independent country, independent in terms of law, taxation, education, etc. The consuls of each island cannot enforce laws across islands. Yes, pirates can also board Silver Moon Island! This island is named because of its unique shape. On the deck. Its just an egg! ?This means of extracting surplus value is simply more capitalist than capitalist. but ?However, Xia Ens mentality is very relaxed. I remember that the captain was originally a middle-aged man, why was he replaced by an unreliable young man? ??Xia En twitched the corner of his mouth and said to the girl with white hair and red eyes next to him: "Joy, stop playing, it''s time to go ashore." ??Joy quickly put away the staff in his hand, nodded with a red face and said: "Yes, Mr. Captain!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 66 【Rusted Wasteland】 Chapter 66 [Rusty Wasted City] Just a few days. ??Joy has changed a lot. The most obvious one is her temperament. ?Although Joey looked extraordinary before, due to his past experiences, he always felt like a handyman or an errand boy. Now, even if the deep-rooted sense of inferiority has not been completely eliminated, the girl has gained a mysterious and restrained quality. This extraordinary quality distinguishes her from ordinary people. ?If you look closely, you can still find that the red pupils are covered with a layer of blue, like the sea. ?This is exactly the change brought about by practicing magic. Just as Xia En expected, Joey, who has [Magic Affinity], has considerable talent in magic. ??Coupled with the magic potions, magic wands, and broken pages of the magic book collected from the sea tribe, Joey''s practice progress has naturally improved by leaps and bounds. So far, she has mastered five or six low-level spells such as [Ice Crystal Technique] and [Wind Blade Technique]. The [Secret Path Occupation] on the panel has also changed from "None" to "Scholar (Level 0. This means that she is not far away from promotion. If you dont say you want to become stronger, do you still need krypton gold? ?These magic materials are placed on the island, and they are often treasures that even money cannot buy. In other words, the Coral City Sea Tribe, who owns the heritage of the Kingdom of Southon, can easily take them out. ?However, the spellcaster profession has always been a big consumer of resources. ??Xia En could foresee that trying to train Joey into a high-level spellcaster would definitely be a bottomless pit of money. But well Looking at the mysterious attribute that has been improved by 2 points, and the skill [Ice Crystal Technique (Introduction)]. ?Xia En feels that this transaction is a sure profit! You must know that the effect of [Captains Prestige] is not a one-time event! ??As the crew members become stronger, Shane can also gain some of their attributes and abilities. Cultivation of crew members not only enhances the combat power of the entire ship, but also strengthens oneself. One resource, two benefits! Isnt this a pure win-win situation? Furthermore, I have already embarked on the secret path of [Captain] and cannot change my profession to [Scholar] or other professions. But with the help of [Captains Prestige], it is possible for me to obtain the exclusive abilities of other secret professions when the crew members are promoted..." ?The more Xia En thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot of potential in becoming a crew member. Mr. Captain, please disembark from the ship! Below, the voice of the port clerk interrupted Sean''s thoughts. ??This berth is in a good location, relatively close to the core area of ??the port. Looking at the smile on the dock boy''s face, it was not difficult for Shane to guess that this was a benefit brought about by his reputation for eradicating pirates. ?Not long after, Shane took Joey down to the deck. He was unfamiliar with the place on Silver Moon Island, so he simply asked An to stay on the ship to avoid unexpected situations. Stepping onto solid ground for the first time in a long time, Xia En felt a little emotional. ??This time I went to sea was much longer than the last time. ?Moreover, coming to a strange island inevitably gave him a sense of novelty. Mr. Captain, I am the handover officer at Silvermoon Port, Randy. On behalf of Silver Moon Island, I welcome you. Randy, who was strong and slightly pale, took the initiative to greet us and said politely: "Please register your name and ship, and pay the berthing fee of 5 silver snake coins." He also made a special explanation. "Because [Blood Moon Night] is approaching, the berthing fee has increased slightly. Please forgive me, Mr. Captain." "clear." ??Xia En nodded, understanding this. After completing the registration, he handed over a few more silver snake coins. Seeing this, Randy''s smile immediately became more sincere: "Thank you for your generosity, Captain Shane." Need some help introducing taverns, hotels, casinos, or other entertainment facilities on Silver Moon Island? To be honest, I know all these places! I can find you the strongest wine and the most energetic girls! ?Those who can get along at the dock are all smart people. If you give them some benefits, you will always get some unexpected gains. Xia En asked directly as he wanted to get rid of the loot on the ship. Do you know any merchants from Tianqi Chamber of Commerce? Hearing this, Randy''s eyes suddenly changed. Based on his experience, when he first asked the captain of Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, he was either very poor and wanted to borrow money from Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, or he had just returned home with a full load and had big business to do! And the Xia En in front of me obviously belongs to the latter! Then how can we not know each other? Randy said enthusiastically: "Captain Shane, please come with me!" Led by Randy, Shane and the others walked through the port and headed towards the central area of ??Silver Moon Island. ?In terms of architecture alone, there is not much difference between Silver Moon Island and Duke Island. They are both in ancient medieval style. It''s just that the houses on Silver Moon Island seem to be more exquisite and gorgeous. ??And because of the large number of people from outside the island attracted by [Blood Moon Night], the island seemed very lively, and pedestrians of various races could be seen walking through the streets. Sea people, demihumans, dwarves, tauren ?The various shops and taverns are doing very well. Come to think of it, just relying on this wave of customer traffic is enough to make a lot of money. ? What surprised Xia En even more was that there were many devices driven by steam engines on Silver Moon Island. For example, steam bus, steam gun. Some houses have steam pipes for pressure relief, which seem to have been used as a common energy source. ?Looking at it this way, in terms of the use of steam technology, Silver Moon Island is much better than Duke Island. When I was born, there were not so many weird steam engines on the island. Noticing the gazes of the two people, Randy said: "In the past five or six years, it is said that someone dug out a batch of extremely advanced steam devices from the ruins of the Rusty Waste City." Then it spread out of control on the island. [Rusty Wasteland] Xia En''s heart moved slightly. He has some impressions of this underwater ruins. This is an underwater city located further north of Silver Moon Island. It was the former "Steam City" and contains steam creations from the previous era. Many of the islands relied on their heritage to develop current steam technology. But similarly, the area and danger of this ruins are no less than that of the Coral City. Xia En thought: "In the future, maybe we can go to this ruins to explore something." On the way afterwards, Randy casually shared some gossip. ??For example, which family has the most beautiful young ladies on the island, so-and-so pirate ship was destroyed, so-and-so salvage ship fished out some rare treasures... ?Xia En silently remembered it in his heart and did not express his opinion. But at the same time, he also learned more about this Silver Moon Island. It didnt take long. The three of them came to the branch of Tianqi Chamber of Commerce on Silver Moon Island. Under Randys introduction, Shane soon met a businessman named Ganis. The first time he saw him, Xia En couldn''t help but have a strange expression. Mr. Bekas? Thanks to "yu2003" for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much! ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Thank you all! (End of this chapter) Chapter 67 Fully upgrade and start strengthening! Chapter 67 has been fully upgraded and started to strengthen! ?The businessman in front of him has a fat belly and a shiny face. He is ten to nine points similar to Bekas on Duke Island. ?However, after hearing Xia En''s words, the businessman raised his eyebrows. Oh, it seems you have met Brother She before? After some exchanges, Shane finally understood that this businessman named Ganis was Becass brother. They are three brothers. When they grew up, they all worked as merchants in Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, working on Duke Island, Silver Moon Island, and Maple Leaf Island in the north. The three brothers often communicated with each other through letters and exchanged information. By chance, Ganis heard about Shane from Becass letter. This is easy to say, I am willing to give it to you as an addition to this transaction. The reason why he is useless is not to save money for the New Year. But right now ?However, after arriving on Shane''s ship and seeing the loot he took out with his own eyes, Ganis was still shocked. ?Core components such as sails and steam turbines may become unusable if they are in a strengthened state, causing the ship to encounter unexpected events at sea. ?However, after making money, the next step is to spend it. Its like breaking through a thin layer of thin film. Another reason is Wood is strong and flexible, and looks like a special kind of spar. A medium-sized space appeared in his mind, and hundreds of coins were lying there quietly. His title has changed unconsciously. Type: Component all the materials, weapons, jewelry, and ancient coins added up to a total of 243 gold dragon coins and 79 silver snake coins. Dont worry, I will never reveal your identity. But after thinking about it, he said: "The shipwright, sails, and timber are all easy to find. I can arrange them for you now." Secondly, I need the best shipwrights on Silver Moon Island, high-grade wood, sails, artillery, steam turbines... After being made into ship hulls and decks, the "sturdiness" attribute of the ship can be greatly enhanced. ??The most important purpose of Xia En''s trip was to conduct a comprehensive upgrade of the Black Swan. Captain Shane, the amount of this treasure is too large for me to eat by myself. I need to report it to my superiors. But that will also cause unnecessary trouble, and may even lead to the phenomenon of deceiving and abducting people from other islands. Sea Crystal Log Ganniss efficiency was faster than Shane expected. Good guy, you are waiting for me here! It can enhance the effect of "seawater control/affinity" and use the power of seawater to increase "speed". Good steel should be used on the blade! The same strengthening resources will, of course, be more effective when placed on higher-quality equipment. Type: Material It feels so good to have money! Xia En raised his head and saw Ganis looking at him eagerly. Description: The storm ray is a unique marine creature. After being baptized by the mysterious power in the sea water, it has become extremely large and has the ability to control storms. ??If these treasures were sold in batches at small shops, they might be able to sell for a higher price. ?Xia En took over the Ring of Apocalypse and put his spiritual power into it. ?In just half a day, he found a dozen experienced shipwrights and brought several high-grade woods and sails for Xia En to choose from. The best thing is safety and convenience. ?Xia En hesitated for a long time before making a choice. This is something he promised Xiao Hei a long time ago. As the amount of [Filth Crystal] invested increases, the strengthening time will also increase. Ring of Apocalypse (Silver) Trees, are they amazing? ?Quality: Rare Dont forget, Xia En still has more than 100 [Filth Crystals] that he has not used. After taking stock, Xia Ens lips curved into a smile. However, you have to find someone to purchase advanced artillery and steam turbines. ?These woods and sails all have extraordinary secret powers, and each has its own characteristics and advantages. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?After hearing Xia Ens request, Ganiss eyes lit up, and this business was a big deal. Contains 10 cubic meters of storage space and cannot accommodate living animals. Type: Equipment Description: A strange tree living in sea water, which has undergone unique evolution in a special environment. This batch of treasures is worth at least hundreds of gold dragon coins! The gap has increased dozens of times! As a qualified businessman, Ganis never asked about the origin of these treasures, but instead spoke cautiously. It just so happens that I have a suitable candidate here who may be able to meet your requirements. You are now a silver-level member of Tianqi Chamber of Commerce and can enjoy a 20% discount! As for selling to Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, there is no such concern. ??Without even this bit of credibility, Tianqi Chamber of Commerce would not have been able to stand on the Seven Seas for such a long time. ?However, he still expressed his request.?????First, the supplies. But even if it lasts, it will only be a business worth a few hundred silver snake coins. ??Xia Ens plan is to have the shipwright renovate the hull while the Black Swan is docked at the port, and at the same time strengthen the newly purchased high-end components. ?Quality: Rare One of the reasons is that reinforcement takes time. A mans promise is not a lottery ticket! ??It was okay if I had no money before, but now that I have plenty of money, I naturally have to make arrangements as soon as possible. Produced by Tianqi, trustworthy! Description: A space ring prepared by the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce for distinguished silver-level members. It is made by "artisans" secret path professionals. ?In his brother''s letter, Captain Shane had owed a lot of money before, and he made a fortune by going to sea. Obviously, after selling the loot this time, Xia En has been regarded as a big customer by Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, and it is normal to have some small benefits. ??Gannis smiled bitterly and said: "As promised in advance, that gentleman''s character is very weird, and I can''t guarantee that the transaction will be smooth." Its skin is extremely tough and immune to damage caused by some sharp objects. Xia En''s eyelids twitched, feeling that these two hundred gold dragon coins would not last long in his pocket. Captain Shane, is there anything you want to buy? With this ring, you can get certain preferential treatment when trading with the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce. ?Quality: Rare Please take inventory. Sail made of storm ray skin After a period of counting, Ganis put all the trophies into the space ring on his right hand, and respectfully handed the other silver ring to Xia En. Steam turbines and artillery were things that even money could not buy on Duke Island, but when Ganis said this, he knew there was something to be done! ?Gannis said hurriedly, it was just some luggage and not worth much at all. ?Shaan nodded: "Okay." ?With this relationship and hearing that Sean had a big deal to do with him, Ganis''s attitude became much more enthusiastic. Shaan''s eyes were filled with joy: "Please Mr. Ganis to introduce me." After being made into a sail, it can passively generate small-scale airflow to propel the ship forward and increase the "speed" attribute. Sail, this power does not belong to you! (End of this chapter) Chapter 68 Eye of the Secret Sea, add it to me! Chapter 68 Eye of the Secret Sea, add it to me! The quality of the wood and sail is quite good. The shipwrights are also very motivated and have no choice in skills. But as a price, Xia En spent 40 gold dragon coins in such a short time. Part of it is the money for materials, and part of it is the deposit for the shipwrights. ?The speed of spending money made even Xia En feel a twinge of pain. But considering that it was for strengthening Xiao Hei, he felt that the money was well spent! at this time. Inside, it smells like the owner! The keel is the most important frame of the ship''s hull. It plays the role of supporting the entire ship. Naturally, it requires much more [Filth Crystals] than cannons. Xia En thought of a possibility. The essence of [Filth Crystal] is actually [Secret Sea Crystal]. ?Shaan turned his gaze to the panel. I think its because the sail is being activated and is recognized as a living thing by the space ring. ?Shaan: ??? Storm Ray Sail (+) This is actually not difficult for Xia En to understand. He originally thought that Xiao Hei would be uncomfortable or repulsed by [Filth Crystal], but why did he enjoy it instead? For Black Swan, Shane is the one who truly awakens it and gives it a soul. This is similar to being on a blind date. ?But before he left the tavern, a group of guards from the island rushed over and shouted to him. More...More... Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and poured [Crystal of Filth] into the keel of the ship. ?However, Xiao Hei''s reaction was different from what Xia En expected. ??There is only one tauren ship doctor, and after the negotiation, both parties felt quite satisfied. Steam turbines and artillery must also find buyers as soon as possible, otherwise it will be embarrassing if they miss [Blood Moon Night] because the strengthening time is too long. The conversation was originally good, but once the situation of the Black Swan was introduced, most of these secret travelers showed a lack of interest and quickly ended the conversation. The ice is cold, it goes deep into the body, it feels so comfortable... ??However, among the many ships that visited Silver Moon Island, his reputation was still not outstanding, and there was a big gap between him and the real heroes and strongmen. But then he thought about it, no matter what the Black Swan looked like to outsiders, to him, this ship was the best! ?Afterwards, Xia En found out from others that the ship''s doctor had climbed into the bed of the wife of a big shot on the island and was trying to escape on someone else''s boat! Co-author You are really a tauren! Solid wooden keel (normal) (+) ?Different from the last small-scale renovation, this time Xia En planned to replace the deck and hull with new ones. If the keel had not been dismantling, he would have even replaced the keel. Filth Crystal-50! From a performance perspective, the components after strengthening are obviously better than those before strengthening. ?Its not enough that you like the other person, you also have to see if the other person likes you. Master, what are you doing? ?Walking to the deck and looking at the busy shipwrights on both sides of the ship, Xia En thought to himself. ??But that kind of crew is of no use on the Black Swan. They are not even needed to sail the ship. They are just rice worms wasting food. At this point, Xia En couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since Xiao Hei has no objection... With the idea of ??giving it a try, Xia En went to Silver Moon Islands talent market - the tavern and took a walk. Estimated strengthening time: 2 days! Normally, it is possible for such a large project to take a month or two. Your trouble has come to light, come with us! But by acting on the hull, it cleverly avoids this problem. The reason why he cannot absorb it directly may be because the "filth" in it will pollute his soul. The secret travelers were arrogant and naturally looked down upon this small boat. To put it bluntly, the regional reputation is not enough! ??If the Black Swan became so famous, there would be a group of secret travelers who would pay their respects to it without Xia En''s greetings. It may hurt a little, so please bear with it. Become stronger! Xiao Hei wants to become stronger! Since there are still important components such as ship hulls, artillery and steam turbines that need to be strengthened in the future, Shane reserved about half of the [Filthy Crystals]. But who gave Xia En the ability to make money? Without connections and channels, it would take a lot of energy and time just to identify whether others are reliable or not. ??Xia En looked at the back of the ship''s doctor being taken away, and couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. ??Xia En touched the deck and comforted softly: "This is the only way to make you stronger." Especially the matter of recruiting crew members. At this time, it was of course willing to endure the pain in the process of becoming stronger for Xia En. ??He originally wanted to put the strengthening sail into the [Ring of Apocalypse], but he sensed a strong repulsive force. ??The Black Swan has sailed into a dock in Silver Moon Bay. Spending some money to improve efficiency and save time is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal. It seems that we still have to ask Ganis to help find a few candidates. Master, what is this? In his mind, Xiao Hei''s timid question came. This...isn''t that right? ?These things sound troublesome, but in fact they are not easy at all. This is the disadvantage of living in an unfamiliar place. Crystal of filth -10! Xia En naturally dislikes the former. For Xiao Hei, it is equivalent to exposing the inside and outside of the body in front of a group of strangers, and then renovating it carefully, which naturally causes uneasiness. ??Although the Black Swan has gained a certain reputation for destroying pirate ships such as the Black Mountain and the Angry Shark. It is also the first and closest person it perceives when its consciousness sprouts, and it naturally has the admiration of a baby for its parents. But when he comes into contact with the latter... By this time, Xia En missed the owner of the Wind and Waves Tavern, Bi Si. According to the old master, this renovation will take at least eight or nine days. To be honest, at this point, Xia En was a little hesitant. ??Is this also a kind of exchanging appearance for strength? ??If you want to recruit ordinary sailors, as long as you have money, you can naturally recruit a lot of them. In the process of diving again and again, this bond and connection have become closer and closer. The shipwrights and their apprentices were ready to start work. But it doesnt matter, I will be by your side. Intensify! ?Xia En felt both pleased and apologetic at the same time. Since the [Blood Moon Night] is approaching, the taverns on Silver Moon Island are a mixed bag. Xiao Hei is going to become the master''s helper! With the injection of [Filth Crystal], the ship''s hull suddenly shook slightly. Eye of the Secret Sea, add it to me! We also need to collect intelligence and recruit crew members The result is really hard to describe in words. Xia En had no choice but to put it in a cabin and prepare to take it out for assembly after the strengthening was completed. ?It seems that some strange patterns are looming on the keel, and a shallow, breathing-like rhythm begins to emit. There are countless sailors who are just fish, but there are also a few secret travelers who have real abilities. What a blackie! But the painting style of the components seems to be inevitably developing in a weird and scary direction. If we rush to work, we should be able to catch up with the [Blood Moon Night] half a month later. Estimated strengthening time: 7 days! Happy is Xiao Hei''s awakening, but sorry is that the strengthening he wants to carry out does not end there. ?At this moment, there was a sound of steam coming from the door of the tavern. The figure walking outside the door quickly attracted the attention of everyone present. (End of this chapter) Chapter 69 Flesh and flesh are bitter and weak Chapter 69: Weak flesh and blood Accompanied by the white steam that evaporates and spreads, there is a low roar from the core of the steam. A slender and strange figure came from outside the door, attracting the attention of others. ??This man has thick black short ear-length hair, and his complexion is very pale, as if he has not been exposed to sunlight for a long time. ?There was a slight crimson color in those obsidian-like pupils. ??If you just look at her exquisite facial features and good-looking face, you might think she is an elegant and noble lady. Steam is the breath of the gods, and steel is the bridge between humans and gods. Or So, this person must have more than just these two steam engines. Feiya frowned suddenly, her face became extremely gloomy, and she asked. ?While the young man spoke, the steam engines in his arms and legs buzzed, and the gears and connecting rods vibrated in unison, as if singing an ancient mysterious hymn. ?However, the reaction of the steam device after drinking alcohol is a bit like the state of Xiao Hei''s budding consciousness. But for some reason, Xia En felt a little uncomfortable while being in the steam. ?But before he could get closer, there was another burly man with a stubble on his face who walked up to him with a grin. If you have one thing to say, wouldnt it be better for men? Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this, the roar of a steam engine suddenly sounded in his ears! Feiya''s eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Could it be that...you are also the one who can hear their voices?" ?Xia En was stunned for a moment. ?) Feiya''s expression instantly became serious, even with a hint of piety and solemnity. This must be the seventh unlucky person this month, right? Plus what the person calls them ?In the vapor of alcohol evaporating, the man''s pretty face also turned a little red, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, as if he was drunk. In the rising alcohol vapor, Xia En walked to Fei Ya. Could it be said that these steam engines have also given birth to original "machine souls?" ??A girl quickly put on a smile and brought the drinks. Steam with a strong smell of alcohol rises. Who makes Master Fei Ya look so cute? Its my first time meeting him, so maybe Id like to strike up a conversation. In fact, Feiya is the pastor of the Church of Steam and a first-level professional who has embarked on the secret path. To be honest, he didnt recognize the gender of this weirdo either. What are the names of these two...? Then he saw that the strong man who was dozens of centimeters taller than the steam monster had been grabbed by the neck and smashed to the floor by "her" right hand made of a steam mechanism. Can drive away evil and soothe restless hearts. At this time, Xia En looked at the steam mechanism on Feiya''s arm and asked. But the little man in front of me is really indistinguishable from male to female! Fei Ya raised her beautiful eyebrows, her body tensed slightly, and she was ready to take action. ?What is this guy''s background? ?Is it possible that his head was also hallucinated by the hot steam? ?Perhaps it was under the influence of the alcohol in the air, but within a short time, Xia En and Fei Ya quickly became familiar with each other. He hesitated for a moment, then replied: "They are Milli and Dach." Boom! ! The white air waves expanded suddenly, and the hot air rolled in. Seeing this scene, other people in the tavern were quite surprised. ?Many wine bottles fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound. ?Xia En was thinking, silently observing this person, and was ready to go up and talk. Hey, man, I think you have a great future! We are so in tune with each other... Xia En''s heart moved slightly and he continued to chat casually with Fei Ya. It''s like...the steam is repelling, expelling itself? at the same time. "Um?" Human flesh and blood is so weak. If you want to transform into a higher life, you can only take refuge in the embrace of the God of Steam and Steel! Instead, there is a mechanical structure composed of gears, connecting rods and pipes. He has heard of the name of this church, but compared to the Deep Sea Church, this can only be regarded as a small sect with not many believers. Feiya was startled. He had met many people who struck up a conversation in the tavern, but this was the first one with such a strange angle. Steel prosthetics! ??This weirdo with a steam prosthetic arm did not drink, but poured a large amount of wine directly onto the steam device on his right arm. Skin that is whiter and smoother than an egg, slender and petite figure, cute and delicate face like a porcelain doll... Who the **** can recognize this? The old guests next to him whispered in low voices. The girls in the tavern walked away silently carrying their drinks. Church of Steam? ?One of them sighed regretfully: "It''s a pity that he is a man!" Obviously, their power source is the steam engine that sprays out white steam! Hey, hey, hey, come on, get the **** wine out! ??Is there anyone else who drinks like this? ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. As soon as this man opened his mouth, he completely destroyed what little elegance and beauty he had. Xia En''s appearance is actually a bit handsome, but after all, his height is here, and he is tanned by the sea breeze, and his figure has become stronger and stronger. Milly likes to drink red wine, and Dutch prefers the aroma of malt. My little darlings cant wait. Hey, girl, do you want to have a drink with me? "also?" ?Shaan: Now, no one calls him boy anymore. To be honest, I also have a little thing similar to them. Its called Xiao Hei, and its my most important partner. Many regular patrons of the tavern cast sympathetic glances at this burly man with a beard. Idiot! Im a man! Maybe there are channels to buy steam turbines. As soon as these words came out, I wonder if it was Xia En''s misunderstanding, and the surroundings seemed to be suddenly quiet for a moment. ??The core seems to be humming happily, and the efficiency of operation is increasing instead of decreasing. How could anyone actually have a good conversation with that Fei Ya? ??Xia En listened for a while, then turned to look at the beautiful young man named "Feiya" and found that after he taught the strong man who approached him a lesson, he opened another bottle of wine and poured it into the steam machine on his left leg. Feiya tried her best to raise her hand, put it on Xia En''s shoulder, and asked drunkenly. Oh? Another one? ?There is no skin or flesh that humans should have. Hearing this, Xia En knew that he had hit the right topic and continued to speak with a slight smile. Are you interested in joining the Church of Steam? Thats right, I dont know if youve ever heard of this sentence But when Xia En''s eyes fell on this person''s right arm and left leg, he couldn''t help but be slightly surprised. The white steam is endowed with certain sacred characteristics, appearing quiet and pure. The steam that diffuses at this time is actually a kind of "magic" and naturally possesses mysterious and extraordinary power. When Xia En opened his eyes again. Heresy! Why do you smell like a heretic!? (End of this chapter) Chapter 70 Hallucination or reality? Chapter 70 Illusion or reality? "ah?" ?Shane is in a weird mood. How did he become a heretic? Is it because of the Hui Jiao amulet in his space ring? Or is it the influence of [Salary Kings Certificate]? Before Xia En could explain, Fei Ya''s expression changed again. His mind suddenly exploded with a terrifying roar. ??In Feiya''s eyes, Xia En''s appearance changed rapidly. A layer of faint brilliance covered the man''s body, and flames ignited on the back of his right hand. But the brilliance and flames are just a disguise. What is truly terrifying is the shape that is constantly writhing and twisting under the light. ?It seemed like there were countless shadows, overlapping each other in different postures, wailing and neighing continuously. There are still distant starlights vaguely reflected from the depths of the body. Fei Yas eyes widened in horror. Damn, what the **** are you? ?Haunted as he was, the young man, as a clergyman, made the most correct reaction immediately ?Use the iron fist that sprays out white steam to hit the existence in front of you with all your strength! Facing the oncoming punch, Xia Ens pupils shrank. ??Although he didn''t know why Fei Ya suddenly attacked him like crazy, the best solution at the moment was undoubtedly to knock Fei Ya down! He took a step to the right and turned his head slightly to avoid the straight punch. Immediately, a punch was swung from top to bottom, hitting Feiya''s abdomen directly. But at this moment! Feiya''s prosthetic right arm, which was made of metal and machinery, suddenly twisted at an incredible angle and swept towards Xia En like a whip. Boom! The turbulent air waves roared and swept around again. ??Everyone in the tavern was suddenly startled and ran away from the battlefield. Damn it, why did they start fighting again? Didnt they have a good atmosphere just now? The first day you met Fei Ya, his brain was already damaged by the steam! "Everyone involved with him will have a bad end. The new kid is probably going to suffer this time." Amidst the noise of people, the air waves gradually subsided. The sight at the center of the collision surprised them. ?In the field, several spider web-like cracks appeared on the floor, and the tables and chairs around were in a mess. ??And the thick iron fist of the beautiful young man Fei Ya was firmly grasped in the palm of one hand. ?Hum! Buzz! Buzz! The power of the steam core has been driven to the extreme, the steam pipes are burning red, and the gears and levers are making overwhelmed whining sounds. The entire steel arm was trembling under the tremendous force. But even so, it cannot move forward even one centimeter! Is this the power of steam and steel in your mouth? It seems...its not as useful as my body! ??Xia En stood in front of Fei Ya, his body as unshakable as a mountain, casting his gaze condescendingly. Shane is not a nice gentleman with no temper at all. Feiya called him a heretic and dared to attack him directly... Must be taught a lesson! Ho ho Hearing Xia Ens words, Fei Ya was obviously stimulated and roared. Then let me see the true power of steam! next moment. A flash of scarlet suddenly flashed across Fei Ya''s eyes, and her temperament became a bit strange and cold. Then, **** steam began to rise. At the same time, the two steam engines named Mili and Dutch suddenly emitted an active scream, and their operating power increased several times. The floor beneath my feet keeps crumbling. The power transmitted from the iron fist also increased greatly in an instant, and he almost broke free from Xia En''s iron-like hand. Obviously, this is some kind of special secret technique that uses blood as fuel to enhance the power of the steam engine. ?Xia Ens eyes narrowed. How come youre still in the second stage after all the fighting? but A faint smile formed on the corner of Xia Ens mouth. I also have the second stage! Xiao Hei! I am here! Even though there was still a long distance between Xia En and the Black Swan, Xiao Hei''s heartfelt voice still sounded clearly in his heart. The bond between souls can even be surpassed by light, let alone a distance of just a few steps? The surging power surged from invisible sources and was temporarily instilled into Xia En''s body. The invisible sound of waves rang in his ears. ?Xia En opened his eyes, and a sense of oppression that was twice as strong as before poured out, pressing down on Fei Ya''s petite body like a mountain. ?His arms became steady again, easily accepting the huge force coming from his palms. ?The power of the two steam engines was like a stone sinking into the ocean, completely swallowed up and unable to even shake his body. At this time, Fei Ya''s heart was filled with shock. Even if we dont talk about the weird image of Xia En in his eyes, he has clearly used a forbidden technique like [Blood Burning Technique], why does Xia En not seem to be affected at all? Or should we say that from the very beginning, the other party had the power to absolutely crush us? What a disappointment. Is this the only level of your so-called real power? ?Xia En''s indifferent voice sounded in Fei Ya''s ears. This farce must end here! Boom! ??As the air exploded, Xia En''s figure suddenly moved at a speed that he could not see clearly. Suddenly, Fei Ya''s vision was spinning. The last thing that caught my eye was the ceiling above my head. Severe pain came over me suddenly. ??The petite boy was hit with a huge force and slammed into the floor, causing the ground to shake. For a while, there was silence in the tavern. Usually only the provocateur gets smashed into the floor by Fei Ya, but today its the other way around? ??The eyes of some secret travelers looking at Xia En couldn''t help but change slightly. A layman can watch the excitement, while an expert can watch the door. ??The power displayed by Fiya''s steam device clearly belongs to the category of a mystic and should not be underestimated. But this unfamiliar young man was able to show absolute suppression over him... This is a bit scary! The captain of the Black Swan, Shane. The mentality of the Secret Pathers who had talked to Xia En before changed slightly, and they silently remembered this name in their hearts. After a while. ?Xia En looked at Fei Ya in the hole in the floor and sighed. Now, are you awake at all? Feiya looked dazed, as if she hadn''t recovered from the blow just now. As the "holy steam" dissipated, when he looked up at Xia En, he had turned back into an ordinary human being. ?Moreover, no matter how hard he looked, he could not see the terrifying and terrifying shape before. Even the "heretical" atmosphere before no longer exists. Fei Ya was shocked and confused. The picture I just saw... was it an illusion caused by steam and alcohol? Or was it what he really looked like under his human body? ?For some special reasons, Feiya needs to drink alcohol to overcome the instinct in his blood. In addition, he is a believer of the God of Steam, and his inspiration is sharper than ordinary people. So it is true that we often see some incomprehensible hallucinations. It''s just an illusion this time, it seems a bit too clear? After thinking for a moment, Fei Ya calmed down and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was too impulsive." Xia En stretched out his hand and pulled him out of the pit: "It''s okay. I wasn''t hurt anyway. It''s just the loss of this tavern..." Dont worry, I will compensate you! Feiya waved her hand freely, and then looked at Xia En''s body with burning eyes: "But brother, I have a small request..." Can I touch you? ?Shaan: "?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 71 【Heart of Steam】 Chapter 71 [Heart of Steam] It didnt take long. Fei Ya left the tavern in despair. ?The reason why he wanted to touch Xia En was of course not out of any strange idea, but just to determine the condition of the other person''s body. Now, he has got the answer. It is actually pure flesh and blood, without any trace of transformation or mutation. The activity of blood and muscles is ten times that of mine The murals decorated on the walls depict some sacred scenes like sacrificial rituals. The butler and maid not far away are elegant and well-mannered. Other information is sparse. Please lead the way for me. However, on the side of the castle, many metal pipes and valves can be seen along the walls, some of which are still actively spitting out steam and making hissing sounds. One more thing[Siren]? ??Has the powerful attributes brought by [Captains Asylum], plus the second stage of [Communication with Ship Soul]. Besides, that young master happens to be free now and is willing to interview you. He felt a sense of urgency in his heart. First of all, the time of [Blood Moon Night] is the night of the full moon half a month later. The scene in this ancient castle is reminiscent of those ancient nobles with excellent education and family inheritance. Every night after that, the blood moon will arrive as scheduled. Is this really a body that humans can have? ??Xia En gained a lot of valuable information just by listening. Welcome both of you, but the young master is currently praying, please wait a moment. ?Xia En had no interest in gossip and just chewed the collected information silently. Not long after, the silver-haired butler took the initiative to step forward. That''s true if you think about it. ?The words of these guests unconsciously contained some emotions of awe and envy. ?For example, space-time gaps, different-dimensional spaces, shadow worlds, afterimages of the past... ?While sitting down to wait, Xia En silently observed his surroundings. First-level Mystic Pathgoers are existences that are difficult for them to reach, let alone second-level Mystic Pathgoers. It was still early, and Xia En was not in a hurry to leave. At most, it can only be said that there is an ancient ruin without sea water. It gives people a sense of dislocation that is both advanced and ancient. Hehe, thats right! Loren Thunder Fang has always been obsessed with her, and she was rejected after several expressions of love..." A second-level secret path person? ?Xia En rarely encounters an opponent among first-level professionals, but when meeting a second-level mystic, the situation may be reversed. ?Xia En was secretly surprised. ?In the Seven Seas, there are actually quite a few [cracks] like this, but [Blood Moon Night] is more famous in the nearby waters. ?However, what surprised Xia En. When talking about gossip topics, the sailors showed tacit smiles on their faces and started chatting with great interest. "Do you mean...I am wrong? He is right?" The higher the level of the secret path, the greater the gap. In addition to pirates and scattered ships from other islands, the Archon of Silver Moon Island "Viper Quinn" will also send elite personnel to explore the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Thats right, Loren, the captain of the [Thunder], has been stuck as a second-level Mystic for several years. But the tavern has always been the most well-informed place. At this time, the conversation of several guests attracted Xia En''s attention. The heaviness of historical deposits is fully revealed. ?Perhaps because of the previous battle with Feiya, the nearby guests were somewhat respectful of him. Neither exists in the present world nor in the sea. He said in an elegant and clear tone: "Welcome to my castle, my friend." I hope that the attribute blessings brought by this comprehensive enhancement will not disappoint me! ???Just happened to meet Ganis trotting in sweating. On the secret road, every time you climb a step, your strength will change by leaps and bounds. ?Thick white steam leaks out as the door opens, bringing a moist and warm feeling. There are second-level Secret Pathfinders on their ships, and the bounties on their heads are frighteningly high! There may even be third-level secret path-finders! ?As a result, Xia En''s current strength is obviously not enough. A steward with silver hair and black eyes stood guard at the door and saluted respectfully. A look of surprise flashed in Xia En''s eyes: "Okay! Thank you Mr. Ganis!" Furthermore, when the "blood moon" appears on the sea, it will not disappear overnight, but will last for a full month. We have to find the seller of the steam turbine and the artillery quickly and finalize this matter. ??Xia En looked at Fei Ya''s leaving figure and hesitated for a moment, but still did not catch up to ask about the steam turbine. Captain Shane, there is news about the seller that I helped you find before! Young Masters prayer has ended, please come with me. Simply sit in the tavern, eat some snacks, and inquire about the information about [Blood Moon Night]. ??Gannis wiped his sweat and said: "He happens to have an ancient relic unearthed from the [Rust Waste City] in his hand, called the [Heart of Steam], which should be helpful in updating your ship''s hull." Not long. ?The spherical steam boiler roared lowly, and the brass pipes, levers and gears happily cooperated with its operation, like inseparable friends. Hands of antiquity and luxury, tranquility and solemnity coexist. At this time, standing among the many precision instruments was a petite figure wearing exquisite clothes. ??The gate of the castle slowly opened. In comparison, with a few hundred gold dragon coins in hand, I am just a small upstart. I have asked around, but there is not much information about the inside of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. After entering the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], everyone will be a target of competition. Even if there is reliable information, they will not share it. ?On the path leading down from Ganis, Xia En came to an ancient castle on a higher ground on Silver Moon Island. Not only the [Thunder], but also the [Aquila] and [Siren] will come this time! Another person vowed: "He must have come here this time to use the secret treasure in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] to advance in one fell swoop." ??This hall has a quaint atmosphere. According to some mystics, the space under the blood moon is a special [secret realm]. Speaking of which, it seems that the Thunder Pirates will also come this [Blood Moon Night], right? ?Shaan followed the housekeeper to a door. After collecting the intelligence, Xia En was preparing to return to the dock to see the progress of the Black Swan''s transformation. Is that female captain related to the Siren? "However, I also heard that... the captain of the [Siren] is a great beauty, and many great pirates fall under her pomegranate skirt." As the pastor of the Church of Steam, Fei Ya may be a little "broken" at the moment, so it''s better to let him calm down first. In the white steam, strange steam devices can be seen everywhere. ?Xia En touched his chin and thought again. There are many names for this [secret realm]. The moon on the sea will not return to its original state until the next full moon night. ?This ancient castle is made of black stones, with some faint dark red lines. There must be some people with second-level secret paths among them. May the steam bless you What the hell! Brother Xia En? (End of this chapter) Chapter 72 The last piece of the puzzle! Chapter 72 The last piece of the puzzle! Before opening the door. Xia En actually had some suspicions in his mind. But when he saw Fei Ya appearing in the steam with his own eyes, he almost couldn''t hold his nerve. There is no other reason. The image of Fei Ya at this time is completely different from the image in the tavern before! ? Wearing exquisite and gorgeous aristocratic clothes, her black hair was neatly combed behind her head, and her every move showed restraint and etiquette. The clear voice gives people a sense of dignity, which is very consistent with the young man''s beautiful appearance. until he broke into a foul language. Feiya said meaningfully: "Captain Shane, let''s just say goodbye." Let me tell you, if there is a small steam turbine on the ship, I can directly use this [Steam Heart] to strengthen it. Since there are ready-made resources, it is natural to convert them into combat power as soon as possible. ??A sudden knock on the door sounded from outside, interrupting the young man''s words. "You don''t need to pray for the blessing of the God of Steam. Your disability will still be cured and you will become as healthy as a normal person, and you will have a stronger and more perfect body." As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the maid to bring a glass of viscous liquid that was bright red and blood-like. ?The steam technology of the last era has developed to this point? ? ?Shane might have been skeptical about this before, but after seeing the scene in [Ember Sanctuary], his mind changed slightly. ?Seeing that Xia En was hesitant, Feiya gave her own suggestions. If you save resources and dont use them, you will regret it when you encounter a powerful enemy that is difficult to resist! ??If you encounter a steam turbine of better quality in the future, you can consider replacing it and use the old steam turbine as a spare machine, or sell it directly. The instinct of blood cannot be disobeyed. Feiya continued: "Please believe me, [Blood Moon Night] is actually a..." The last parting time. on the other hand. Fei Ya''s eyes passed over the wine glass, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. ?Soon, Fei Ya took Xia En to visit his gun arsenal. ?Lines of information appear before your eyes. Heart of Steam Type IV Although it is definitely not as powerful as a large turbine in a short period of time, the improvement is definitely not small. ??If he hadn''t personally seen Fei Ya drinking in the pub and beating up the people who struck up a conversation, Xia En might not even be able to connect the two people. His lips and teeth were scarlet. ??If you can pull it on board, it will undoubtedly be useful in many ways. To be precise, [Steam Heart] is not a steam turbine, it is just a device that strengthens the steam mechanism. ?Shaan was slightly surprised. This was not the same as the steam turbine he had imagined, and it was also very different from the one on his ship. ?Perhaps they are powerful and noble people on Silver Moon Island. ?Its not impossible to go to sea first and come back to get it. If you keep talking, your new friend may not see the sun tomorrow. In that case The butler''s voice was low and magnetic, and his words were full of bewitching power. To be honest, after coming into contact with Fei Ya in the tavern, Xia En once had the idea of ????pulling him on board. As a priest of the God of Steam and Steel, it is reasonable for him to collect some firearms, right? In his own words. Feiya happily led Xia En to a corner of the room and opened a closed iron box. But now, Xia En has quietly given up this idea. If you hesitate, you will lose! ??The butler just smiled faintly: "My master has told me that matters related to the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] are taboos among taboos." As long as the [Heart of Steam] is installed, the steam engine is like having a heart. It can not only greatly increase the power, but also activate the steam engine. the other side. ??Shaan is just a small captain, how can he have such a big reputation to let him give up his current comfortable life and board this small pirate ship to live a hard life on the sea? ?One of the weapons that impressed Shane was a steam gun called [Titan''s Grip]. After the supplies are completed, leave Silver Moon Island as soon as possible! Captain Shane, you should be here for [Blood Moon Night] this time, right? Feiya saw Xia En''s surprise and explained. Oh? Didnt Ganis tell you? Subsequently, the butler''s voice came: "Master, dinner is ready. Do you want to prepare a meal?" ?Xia En thought carefully for a moment and felt that this was indeed the truth. Xia En thought for a while and said frankly: "Although the main purpose is not for the [Blood Moon Night], since I have come, I also plan to go to the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] to have a look." He is both a priest and a professional mechanic. He is even familiar with the structure of the human body and can serve as half a ship''s doctor. Feiya said extremely sincerely: "If you can trust me, never, never enter the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]!" Can eject powerful steam in an instant, enough to tear enemies at close range into pieces. So, he simply did not mention this topic. After saying that, he walked unswervingly towards the room filled with steam. Feiya sneered: "That old guy is really naive. Does he think he can hide it forever?" 3893 days, the same words every day, I really admire your perseverance. ?However, Xia En knows better that only by controlling enough strength can he have the initiative. I heard that you want to buy my [Heart of Steam] and cannon? One day, you will definitely fall into this sweet embrace. ?There are a dazzling array of all kinds of muskets, flintlocks, artillery... Xia En''s heart moved slightly. ?Judging from this castle and the collections in it, Fei Yas status must be either rich or noble. At this moment. ?Xia En frowned, vaguely aware of the meaning of these words. Fei Ya showed a rare hesitation and asked. Thats right, can I take a look at [Heart of Steam] first? I am the pastor of the Church of Steam, and I am absolutely professional in mechanics! After that, Xia En spent a full 150 gold dragon coins to purchase the [Heart of Steam], a batch of advanced high-level artillery, and a large amount of ammunition. ?Shane had no idea what was happening in the castle. ?After a brief moment of embarrassment, Fei Ya coughed twice and spoke first: "Since it''s brother Xia En, we don''t need to be so restrained." Praise to the God of Steam and Steel! ! If you observe carefully, you can see that these metals are engraved with extremely fine runes, which are somewhat similar to the chips on the earth. They appear complex and delicate. It''s a pity that it is Fei Ya''s own collection and is not ready to be sold. Xia En was actually a little curious as to how Feiya had such an abundant arsenal of weapons. Master, its me who should say this. This is...[Heart of Steam]? What is this called? ??Although I drink, swear, use steam to perm my hair, and beat people with iron fists, am I still a good boy? ?Seeing that Xia En and Fei Ya seem to have known each other for a long time. Master, you...have crossed the line a bit this time. If you really want it, wait two months and I should be able to get one. ?These runes bring mysterious energy, causing the entire ball to contract and expand regularly like a heart. Fei Ya pointed at Mili and Dachi on her body and smiled: "The two of them have their own souls after being strengthened." ?Shane made up his mind and reached out to touch the brass sphere. Type: Props Thats all I can say. Xia En''s wallet instantly shrunk a lot. In other words, this very extraordinary [Heart of Steam] is actually just a mass-produced creation! This growth potential really moved him. "Ah" ?Xia En frowned slightly. Actuated on the component "steam turbine", it can greatly increase the "speed" of the ship! Not to mention that there is only half a month left in [Blood Moon Night]. With his temperament, it is impossible for him to stay on Silver Moon Island for such a long time. Not long after, Xia En left the castle together with several carriages carrying artillery. An ancient brass ball is lying quietly inside. The last piece of the puzzle in the strengthening plan is now completed! Ahem! ?Shane has returned to the depths of the Black Swan''s cabin with the cannon and [Heart of Steam]. As for the real medium and large steam turbines, they are extremely in short supply and are usually booked in advance. two months? "certainly!" The old housekeeper also closed the door thoughtfully, leaving only the two of them in the room. But there is always an unpleasant feeling, as if the **** was cut off halfway. Even...have life and growth! Master, why are you doing this? ?Quality: Rare Fei Ya glanced at him coldly: "It''s just a casual chat with a friend, how come it crosses the line?" "Um?" It can give life to steam engines, enhance their power, transmission efficiency and durability. Type IV? Just drink it and you will become one of us. Gannis wisely left first. ?However, if something is really good, it is really expensive if it is expensive. If you are willing to feed some steam parts every day, it is not impossible to grow to the point where it will be more powerful than a large turbine in the future. ?It is made up of countless complex and precise metal sheets, gears, and levers. On the window sill, the silver-haired butler with black eyes walked up to the good-looking young man and spoke softly. Machines and firearms belong to the same family. Lies will be exposed one day. There is type IV, which means there will be types III and II. Some are pure collections, while others are good things with practical value. ??Returning to this conversation mode, Xia En felt a lot more relaxed and spoke directly. ?Behind him, the butler chuckled, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp, showing an expression of enjoyment. [Description: The fourth generation steam creation developed by the legendary steam mechanic of the previous era. To this day, it still contains mysterious power. ?That large caliber, surging power, and dark shell with shiny metallic luster...it is completely a man''s romance! ?He chewed on Fei Yas last words and reaction, and felt that the water in [Blood Moon Night] seemed to be deeper than he expected. The butler narrowed his eyes and said: "My master is thinking about the future of this island. You should be his strongest support. Why do you have to be tit-for-tat at every turn?" Looking at the ancient steam turbine in front of him, anticipation flashed in his eyes. The last round of strengthening has officially begun! Thanks to the leader of "Foxes and civets don''t eat pears" for the reward! I didnt expect that there would be a leader, so touched! Woohoo, I will write well. Thanks to "Ye Xiangling" for the 500-coin reward! ????Also thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly votes! Thank you so much! By the way, I would like to recommend a friends book. The next chapter will be my acceptance speech! (End of this chapter) Chapter 73 Remarks on the launch (meng meow downhill pose!) Remarks on the release of Chapter 73 (Meow down the mountain pose!) The day has finally arrived! ?There are a lot of things I want to say every time, but when it comes to it, I dont know what to say. This book has not been an easy journey. To be honest, when this book was 40,000 words long, I had less than 100 people in my collection, and there were almost no further readings. Due to various practical reasons, I impulsively applied to finish the book. But my editor Penglai came to me and said that there was still hope for this book, and helped me reject the application for completion, so that I could go all the way to now. ?Happy to Editor Penglai for his life-saving help! Just because of this experience, this book will definitely be written! ?Although the performance of this book is not particularly good, it has not been able to reach Sanjiang. But at least I have eaten four full rounds, and I have also caught up with half of the new books recommended. For me now, I am very satisfied. ???Thanks to the editor Penglai Dada and the following author friends! "I Want to Hold the Moon in the Nine Heavens"Jiang Lang "Shepherd''s Tantra"Pray Meow the Great ??Ah Meow, I am a vulgar person. I can only write some vulgar and refreshing plots, without any depth, and occasionally there will be mistakes and fallacies. I want to write novels for the rest of my life! As long as its something I can do, Im willing to do anything! Then there is the issue of updates. Don''t talk about five buckets of rice, I''ll give up even if you have one! ????? I sincerely ask all my friends to take a look at the diligent updates for such a long time and give me an initial subscription! It would be better if you could just give me a monthly ticket, and I wouldnt expect a reward. But even such a cat has a world he wants to depict, and he also wants to write impressive characters and stories! ?This shouldnt require much introduction, just read it and youre done. ??Ah meow, I am very slow at coding and my claws are too clumsy. It may take me sitting in front of the computer for several hours to code out a chapter. To use a phrase that Meow likes very much... "Infinite: The Yuejia Army starts the game and kills Wan Yangou" - Who played the song of my long river? The new book of Infinite Liquid is top-notch, the writing is solid, and its really beautiful! If you like martial arts, you can watch it. But to be realistic, Ah Miao writes books not only for his hobby, but also for his life. ?The fighting level is extremely high! ?There should be at least four updates on the day of release, and two more updates if there are 1,000 first orders! At least 6,000 words will be updated every day from now on! (I didnt expect that there would be rewards from the alliance leader before it was released. I will definitely add more in the future!) A-miao, I also said it very bluntly, I want to subscribe and I want money! A-meow, I dont have much talent. After so many years of writing, I still havent made much progress. I dont have the talent of some of my author friends. I have a lack of language and limited vocabulary. What I write is completely different from what I have in my mind. The orthodox western fantasy amber flow, with complete settings and extremely high quality. Many of my settings are faulty to him! (frank) "All Destinies Are Burned" - Yintian Shenyin "The Sacred Book of Blood" - bang bang Fuck, who doesnt want money? Finally, thank you to the friends who have seen this all the way. ??A-Meow, I am still an iron-blooded two-dimensional person, the ultimate obese nerd, so my hobbies are very two-dimensional, and I often play some jokes that everyone cant understand, which may cause discomfort to some readers and friends. ?Thank you for your recommendation votes, comments and follow-up reading! ??We have been good friends for a few years, and we have transformed ourselves into writers. The only problem is that the updates are a bit slow. Thanks again friends! (Bow!) (End of this chapter) Chapter 74 On the day of completion, the Black Swan transformed! (please order first) Chapter 74 On the day of completion, the Black Swan transformed! (Please order first!!) (14) In the dark cabin. The brass-colored sphere gave off a strange shimmer, and the runes on it kept flashing, as if they couldn''t wait any longer. ?Shaan stretched out his hand and placed it on the steam turbine. Click With the sound of the gear machine running. Heart of Steamcontinuously breaks itself into countless small parts. Then, he quickly got into the interior of the steam turbine, and was perfectly integrated with the original structure of the machine, no longer distinguishable from each other. ! Boom! Boom! Following that, a dull sound like a heartbeat came from inside the steam turbine. It has not started yet, but it has the vitality of a living creature. It is exactly the same as those components enhanced by [Filth Crystal]. Small steam turbine (Heart of Steam) Type: Component ?Quality: Rare Description: When installed on a ship, it can increase the "Speed" attribute by 8 points! Continue to feed steam parts to make it grow and evolve continuously. Note: Number of cores that can be equipped (1/3) I''m already moving forward at full speed! 8 speed! Such high attributes! ?Xia En was pleasantly surprised. You should know that his previous total speed was only 14 points, and this component can give him 8 speed points, which shows its exaggerated bonus. But what is the number of equipable cores? Meaning...this steam turbine can hold more than one [Steam Heart]? You can have two hearts and three lungs when you write together, right? The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched and he couldn''t help but complain. Its just that finding other [Steam Hearts] is obviously something in the future. At the moment, his strengthening is not over yet! With Xia Ens thought, a large amount of [Filth Crystal] was injected into the steam turbine. Crystal of filth -25! Estimated strengthening time: 4 days! ?The heartbeat of this machine began to become slower, but the rhythm on the surface became more obvious, greedily digesting the [filthy crystals] flowing in the body. Like an embryo that is absorbing nutrients. After that, Xia En followed suit and put all the remaining filthy crystals into strengthening the artillery. Heavy **** artillery (+) Crystal of filth-22! Estimated strengthening time: 2 days! Having spent the remaining [Filth Crystals] in one go, Xia En looked satisfied. The seed has been planted. Next, its time to wait for the harvest. ?Forty-two-year-old Bob is an experienced shipwright who has repaired and remodeled no less than a hundred ships. ??The captains who went to sea on Silver Moon Island were willing to call him "Old Bob" to show their respect. However, just ten days ago. This old shipwright received a special commission. With him, he was hired with more than a few sophisticated shiprs, and the number of small workers and apprentices was not a small number. The transformed ship is a small and medium-sized ketch named [Black Swan]. The employer is a young and handsome captain. ?Compared with his peers, this captains spending was extremely generous, and I heard that this was all money he earned from nothing. This made Old Bob lament the huge gap between people. ??If that boy of mine could be half as capable as Mr. Captain, he would laugh out loud in his dreams. ?Originally... It is certainly a good thing if the employer gives you money easily. Everyone can earn money and have motivation to work. If they work quickly, they can complete the tasks on time. Generally speaking, it is no different from ordinary commissions. But soon, Bob realized that things were not that simple. Some strange rumors began to spread among the shipwrights and workers. Some people say that the Black Swan imprisons many miserable souls, wandering around the cabin and deck day after day. Some people say that a strange and terrifying monster lives in a corner of the cabin, and you must not disturb its rest. Some people say that the ship itself is alive, and you can even hear its breathing and heartbeat! ?At first, Old Bob scoffed at these claims, thinking they were just rumors made up by busybodies. But gradually, he discovered... ?These rumors seem to be true! ?This day finally came for completion acceptance. ??Old Bob, looking haggard, boarded the deck of the Black Swan, preparing to conduct the last hull inspection in person. Most of the shipwrights who were with him found various excuses to refuse, so he was the only one who got on the boat. Hello, Mr. Bob. ?As soon as he stepped onto the boat, Bob saw a girl with a mysterious and elegant temperament. ?The long snow-white hair and light red eyes had a strange, cold beauty that made him afraid to look directly at them. But Bob knew that despite her strange appearance, this girl was already the most normal person on the ship. After saying hello, Bob began to carefully inspect the deck. ??The deck made of [sea crystal logs] is neat and beautiful, with a darker color and a slight crystal texture. However, when Old Bob pressed it gently with his hand, it felt like there was a warm feeling of touching flesh and blood, and it also rebounded slightly. ?Looking closely, there are countless blood vessel-like veins hidden deeper in the deck. ?High above, a sail made of storm ray skin swayed gently. I dont know if its Bobs illusion. He always felt that the color of these sails had become darker than before. As he got closer, a faint whine reached Bob''s ears. You can listen carefully, but you cant hear anything. Old Bob turned his head to look at the entrance of the cabin with a tense face. He knew that the real test had just begun. Holding a kerosene lamp, the old shipwright slowly walked into the passage of the cabin. The air around him seemed to have suddenly dropped a few degrees, and the light seemed to have been sucked away by something, without the bright feeling. ?Footsteps sounded in the cabin, echoing rhythmically. Old Bob couldn''t help but hold his breath. ??He felt that his footsteps attracted the attention of some beings, and whispers of conversation came from invisible corners. But Old Bob still scrutinized the internal structure of the ship''s hull conscientiously. In the dim light, he saw that there were many strange patterns and symbols on the supporting frames, which at first glance looked like eyes. ?Take another two steps forward, and a tall armor waiting in the corner breaks into Old Bob''s sight. ?The silent gaze through the helmet and the shadow cast from top to bottom made him shudder. Fortunately, Bob knew that the other party was also a crew member on the Black Swan. Only, because the armored man remained silent and never took off his helmet. The boatmen suspected that he was actually a long-dead undead creature, or a cold and ruthless machine puppet. ?Bob nodded to the armored man, wiped his cold sweat, and continued to move deeper into the cabin. ?While passing by the cabin where the artillery was housed, a strange chewing sound came from it. But when he opened the door and checked, the artillery pieces stayed in place quietly and obediently, with no abnormalities at all visible. Old Bob had no choice but to leave in a hurry. Subsequently, a steady and powerful heartbeat entered his ears. One after another, it was like a knock on his heart. ??Moreover, the closer you get to the depths of the cabin, the clearer this heartbeat becomes. Not long after, Bob came to a half-open wooden door. This is also the last place he needs to check. Old Bob swallowed, suppressed his fear, and walked into the deepest cabin. ?There, he saw a man standing in the shadows! ??? Asking for a monthly ticket! Please subscribe! (End of this chapter) Chapter 75 Luxurious panel, attributes skyrocketed! (twenty four) Chapter 75 Luxurious panel, attributes skyrocketed! (twenty four) It was dark all around. Only the flame of the kerosene lamp flickered slightly. ??The man in the captain''s uniform was facing away from Bob, and the steady and weird heartbeat was coming from the ancient machinery not far in front of him. Old Bob opened his eyes wide, and his heart almost stopped at this moment. The man is clearly right in front of you, but it seems that he is far away from you. Deep darkness surrounded him; dark shadows crawled at his feet. He breathes, and the whole ship breathes too. His heart was beating, and the whole ship was pulsing slightly. ?In Old Bobs opinion, the total depth and weirdness of everything on this ship is far less than one percent of that of this man! Or, are they just part of the captain? ! ! Suddenly, another strong heartbeat sounded from the man''s chest. And, gradually, it resonates in sync with the heartbeat of the mechanical device. When the two heartbeats overlapped, an indescribable transformation occurred in the man! ?The sound of waves echoing in the cabin. The flesh and blood body is being washed and baptized by waves of mysterious power. The terrible sense of oppression expanded at the same time. Accompanied by this, there were cheers of joy. The hull, deck, keel, artillery, sails... were all celebrating loudly, calling the captain''s name in unison! When Bob looked at the man again, it seemed that what he saw was no longer a person. Rather, it is like a terrifying sea beast wearing human skin that wakes up from its slumber, or an entire ship sailing forward on the sea! Old Bob, what are you doing here? Hows the checkup going? In a trance, Bob came to his senses. ??Seeing Xia En, the captain of the Black Swan, looking at him with concern. ?His expression is gentle and approachable, and his appearance is handsome, which makes people feel good about him unconsciously. He turned around and looked around. There are several lights in the cabin, the light is bright and soft, and the ancient steam turbine is lying peacefully. Is there any weird and eerie atmosphere? That was just now Old Bob rubbed his eyes and couldn''t help but doubt himself. Could it be that he hadn''t slept well these past few days and was under too much mental stress, causing him to hallucinate? Xia En patted him on the shoulder and said considerately: "Thank you for your hard work these days, I will ask Mr. Ganis to give you the remaining deposit." After finishing this work, take the money and have a good rest for a few days! Hey, okay, let me thank Captain Shane first. ?Bob nodded hurriedly. After completing the final inspection, the old shipwright quickly left the bottom cabin. ?Watching his back disappear from sight, Xia En patted the steam turbine beside him angrily. Xiao Zhan, dont make such a big noise in the future. What if you scare people? Gulu The steam turbine made a slightly aggrieved grunt. It seems to be complaining, but it''s obviously which is even more scary. This machine, which Xia En named "Small Steamer", is a strengthened steam turbine. Gluttony Steam Turbine (Heart of Steam) Type: Component ?Quality: Rare Description: When installed on a ship, it can increase the "Speed" attribute by 12 points! Due to the influence of "filthy crystals", this machine has become extremely greedy. Please remember to feed it with metal, parts or equipment every day. The more you eat, the stronger it becomes! But it is best not to leave it hungry for a long time. Note: Number of cores that can be equipped (1/5) I am riding a horse to eat, eat, eat, eat! Not only has the speed attribute been increased by 4 points, but the number of equipable cores has also been increased. ?However, the most crucial thing is naturally the prefix of [Gluttony]. It is equivalent to re-optimizing the ability that was originally strengthened with metals and parts, enhancing its "growability." But on the other hand, if it fails to fill its belly, it may enter a state of inactivity. Overall, this is an enhancement that has more advantages than disadvantages. As for why it is named Xiaoqi... Xiaoqi doesn''t sound good, so we can''t call it Xiaoji, right? ?At this moment, not only the steam turbine, but also all the core components on the Black Swan have completed their transformation! Name: Xia En Age: 18 years old Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin); Succubus (extremely thin) Secret Career: Captain (Level 1) Ship: Black Swan Ship Spirit Level: LV2 (4%) Attributes: Firepower 16, Speed ??24, Solidity 20, Mystery 23 Durability: 100/100 Core components Aberrant Cursed Cannon (Rare) + Heavy Whispering Defense Cannon (Rare) Dark Secret Dragon Bone (Rare) Phantom Storm Ray Sail (Rare) Gluttony Steam Turbine (Rare) Sea Crystal Wooden Hull (Rare) Talents: Deep Sea Diving; Captain''s Majesty; Seawater Control/Affinity; Hardened Skin; High-speed Regeneration; Lightless Touch; Communication with Ship Soul; Ship Soul Synchronization Skills: Shadow Sword Technique (Mastery), Ice Crystal Technique (Beginner)... I am... very strong now! Even Xia En couldnt help but sigh like this after reading this panel. Facts have proved that the investment and waiting for these ten days are definitely worth it. ??All four-dimensional attributes have skyrocketed, almost doubling! Speed, sturdiness and mystery all exceeded the 20 mark. Especially the [Speed] attribute, with the dual blessing of the steam turbine and the ray sail, it became the highest attribute of the Black Swan. At sea, speed is of paramount importance. As long as you are fast enough, you can gain the initiative in naval battles whether chasing or escaping. Furthermore, [Phantom Storm Ray Sail] also comes with a small skill. Storm Calling: Summon a small storm in a short time, which can temporarily increase the speed or reduce the speed of other ships. Note: This effect can only be used once a week. Although there is a cooling time limit, it may be able to work wonders at critical moments. ?Among the many components, what surprised Xia En the most was the transformation of the hull keel. Dark Secret Dragon Bone Type: Component Quality: Rare Description: The keel of the ship''s hull engraved with dark secret texts. The nourishment of the secret power makes the originally weak keel strong and strong, enhancing the stability of the entire ship. If you are in a dark environment for a long time, the secret text on the keel will grow, evolve, and multiply on its own. The structure of the ship, such as the deck and hull, will also be subtly affected by the secret text and protected from erosion by waves and some deep-sea objects. The words also contain extraordinary mysteries. ?These strange and mysterious secret texts are the changes brought about by a large number of filthy crystals. The area covered by the secret text has obviously become stronger and has some mysterious characteristics. In addition to driving fast, a ship must also drive steadily, and the keel that runs through the entire ship undoubtedly undertakes an important job. "It''s not in vain that I spent 50 points of filthy crystals!" The corners of Xia En''s mouth raised slightly. ?The only regret about this enhancement is probably that due to the construction period, the hull of the Black Swan could not be strengthened simultaneously. You can only add more points after you obtain [Filth Crystal] later. At this time, Xia En clenched his fists, feeling the full strength in his body, and thought to himself. Now, even if I face a second-level Mystic Path, I can still fight! Coupled with the explosive effect of [Communication Ship Soul], we might be able to defeat it head-on! "but" ?Xia En moved his body while thinking about another question. Tomorrow night is the night when the [Blood Moon] comes. Should I go? (End of this chapter) Chapter 76 【Blood Moon Night】(34) Chapter 76 [Blood Moon Night] (34) ??Had it not been for Fei Yas previous words, Xia En would definitely not have wanted to miss this rare event. It can be seen from Fei Yas weird attitude. It was not difficult for him to guess that there was something fishy about this [Blood Moon Night]. ?Perhaps there is a fatal danger hidden. But frankly speaking, Xia En felt unwilling to leave quietly like this. ??Although he is still far away from being promoted, he still has to start preparing the potion materials for breaking through to the second level. The promotion from level 0 to level 1 only requires magic potions to enhance inspiration, and there are not many restrictions on the types. But starting from the second-level promotion ritual, the demand for potions on each secret path began to show obvious directionality. Specific potion materials will naturally be more difficult to collect. Coincidentally, the pirate captain named "Thunder Tooth" Loren is the second-level professional of the captain''s secret path - [Wanderer]! ??And the potion materials he wanted to obtain in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] to break through to the third level can actually be used as potions to advance to the second level! This is a downward compatibility relationship. Just the dosage and usage have to be slightly changed. Besides, even if it cannot be used, it is not impossible to save it until you advance to the third level. "Speaking of which... [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is located under the sea? Do you need to dive into the sea to enter?" ?While hesitating, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xia En''s mind and he discovered a blind spot. If I dive in the sea covered by the blood moon, will I enter the ordinary seabed, or... ?Xia Ens heart was beating fast. ??If this conjecture is feasible, not to mention that there is something fishy about it, even if it is a dangerous situation with no life or death, he will still dare to try it! ?However, guesses are just guesses after all and need to be verified with practice. Xia En calmed down, and with a thought, he extinguished the lights in the cabin. As his connection with the Black Swan deepens, it is still very simple to implement this little trick. Leaving the deepest cabin, Shane quickly met the armored knight guarding the aisle. Not to mention, its a bit scary for such a big piece of armor to hide quietly in the dark. But look at him hurriedly taking out paper and pen, and the armor on his body was clanking. Xia En was immediately happy. ??The previous atmosphere of walking out of the set of a horror movie suddenly disappeared. Its too dark here, lets go outside and talk. Xia En chuckled and said, "It just so happens that I also have something to announce." ??Although there are still only two crew members, the proper sense of ceremony still needs to be present. Not long. The two came to the deck. ??Joy is holding an ancient book and reading it with gusto, and the mysterious charm between his eyebrows is getting stronger. I have to say that Joeys magic talent is stronger than Shane expected. ?In just over ten days, she was successfully promoted to a first-level [Scholar] with the help of the magic potion given by the Sea Clan. Become the third Mystic on the ship! At this time, Joey noticed Shane''s arrival and raised his head in surprise: "Mr. Captain, Mr. Knight...eh?" Nowadays, she is different from the past. As a [scholar], she already has a keener perception. So I could feel that the aura on Xia En''s body had changed significantly. Its like changing from a gurgling stream to a vast lake. The active and vast secret power flows in his body, appearing dangerous and powerful. But the problem is... Why is it that not only Mr. Captain, but also Mr. Knight has become stronger? ! ?From Joey''s point of view, Ann''s aura has become deeper. ?Although the magnitude is far less than that of Xia En, it is still very impressive among the secret path practitioners of the same level. In fact, this is exactly the characteristic of the secret path of [Knight]. Dedication will naturally be rewarded. The stronger the Servant Master you follow, the [Knight]''s strength will also increase. Of course, if a knight is disloyal to his Servant Master or even betrays his Servant Master, he will also be counterattacked by the secret power. ?Unknowingly, Joey felt a little aggrieved for no apparent reason, and his mood was similar to that of being secretly studying involution behind the back of his roommate. Xia En didn''t know what she was thinking, so he said, "We have stayed on the island long enough, it''s time to set off to sea." You two, is there anything else you want to buy? Previously, Xia En also gave the two crew members a few gold dragon coins for their consumption. ??But neither Joey nor Ann have a pitifully low desire to consume. In other words, they dont know how to spend this huge sum of money! Think about it too. For sailors, the biggest expense is either gambling or calling girls. But they have no need at all. In the end, it was Xia En who took the initiative to buy some equipment and books suitable for the two of them, which was considered a workplace concern from his boss to his subordinates. ?After the two crew members expressed their opinions, Xia En quickly found the owner of the dock and opened the lock to release the water. As the sea water rushed, the Black Swan gradually sailed out of the dock. ?Xia En raised his head and looked at the endless sea in the distance. ?The bright sunshine is shining down, and the waves like floating gold rise and fall one after another. The breeze is pleasant and the waves are gentle. Feeling the familiar salty sea breeze, Xia En''s lips unconsciously curled up into a smile. ?These days on Silver Moon Island, he had no worries about food and clothing, did not provoke enemies, and lived a carefree life, but he always felt that something was missing. At this moment, Xia En understood that this vast sea was his true destination. ?Perhaps, in his body, there is always a gene that is unwilling to be ordinary and longs for adventure. My own journey is the stars and the sea! "start sailing!" The next day. at dusk. ??The edge of the sun is gradually approaching the sea level, and the buildings on Silver Moon Island are gradually being soaked by the setting sun, as if they are gradually melting in the sunset. Salvage ships, pirate ships, official federal hunting ships ?Countless ships, large and small, have left the port and are anchored in the middle of the bay, also dimmed into golden colors by the setting sun. The bustling ships even made the sea seem a bit crowded. ?The reason why they can remain peaceful is because "The Viper Quinn"''s "Viper" is slowly patrolling not far away. No one is allowed to cause trouble on [Blood Moon Night], otherwise they will be expelled from Silver Moon Bay. This is the rule laid down by the consul. Strange...were there so many hunting boats on the sea before? The captains of some ships looked around and asked questions. In their impression, it seemed that federal officials would not participate in the [Night of the Blood Moon] in previous years, so why did they send out personnel with great fanfare this time? Could it be to destroy the three pirate groups? Hush, keep your voice down! The pirates are coming over! I saw that among the supporters of many small ships, three huge pirate ships stood out. The huge and towering hull is a symbol of strength. On the sails fluttering in the sea breeze, there are painted black thunder and lightning, a huge eagle and a sea monster with a human body and a fish tail. It is the [Thunder], [Aquila] and [Siren]. ?However, the captains of these pirate ships did not show up. They are quietly waiting for the night to come. ?As the sky gradually darkened, the bright full moon appeared on the horizon, casting a cold and pale light from high up. When the moonlight shines on the sea. A **** full moon that occupied almost half of the bay suddenly emerged from the sea! (End of this chapter) Chapter 77 Submersible, start! (44) Chapter 77 Submarine, start! (44) The water is curling and the light is trembling. ??The moon''s glow on the sea suddenly rippled and turned into a **** full moon. Rather than a "reflection", it''s more like it was inspired by the full moon and suddenly emerged from the deep sea in another dimension! ?Such a wonderful sight that dazzled the captain and sailors on the ship. For a time, there were endless exclamations. All the ships in Silver Moon Bay couldn''t help but boil over. ?The **** full moon, with an indescribable strange and mysterious power, trembles slightly in the sea water, like a treasure that attracts people''s hearts, and is extremely tempting. Coupled with the various ancient legends circulating on Silver Moon Island, it made many sailors red-eyed. Since ancient times, wealth and silk have attracted people''s hearts. Not to mention, under the blood moon, there are magic potions that can be used to advance to a higher level! Many Secret Pathers who are confident in their own strength jump directly into the sea water without thinking. After diving to a certain depth, as the light distorts, the bodies of these people disappear into thin air. This means that they have entered the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]! ?However, not everyone has lost their minds. On some ships, the captain did not put himself in danger, but sent his elite men to explore the sea. Boom! Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar. ??Everyone on board the ship looked towards the Thunder and saw a tall and burly purple-haired man standing at the bow of the ship, with countless electric arcs swimming on his body. I am bound to get the secret treasure in the Blood Moon Secret Realm! After leaving these words, his whole body turned into purple thunder and crashed into the sea water. ?The violent momentum and speed fully demonstrate the strength of the second-level secret pather. Until his figure disappeared, there was still some flickering thunder on the sea. This is not only a demonstration of one''s strength, but also a deterrent! ??But seeing that "Thunder Fang" Loren wanted the secret treasure in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], more sailors were stimulated and jumped into the sea one after another. at the same time. A ketch of unknown reputation sailed into the sea where the Blood Moon is located. This Thunderfang Loren...isnt he afraid of being electrocuted? ?After watching the performance of Captain Thunder, Shane couldn''t help but complain: "Maybe this is the Mysterious One?" At this moment, the crew members of other ships around were jumping into the sea like dumplings. Xia En was not impatient. Instead, he walked up to Joey and asked them solemnly. Next, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to enter the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], do you understand? "yes!" yes ??Although Joey and An were a little confused, they were used to obeying Xia En''s orders, so they naturally had no objections. Afterwards, Xia En returned to the captain''s cabin and found a comfortable position to sit down. He was already prepared to leave directly in the Black Swan if his plan of [Submarine] to sneak into the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] failed. ?Shaan took a deep breath and opened the panel. Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Start diving? "yes." next moment. ?Xia Ens eyesight went dark. ?Different from usual submersibles, his consciousness first sank downwards for a while, and then strangely rose upwards. In a trance, he seemed to glimpse a clear, dark sea with countless tiny stars. I dont know how long time passed, or maybe it was only a moment. His body seemed to suddenly hit some kind of barrier, and then he squeezed in! When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a strange city. That was just now ?Xia En was shocked. Even if it was only for a moment, he would never admit his mistake. ?That sea is the [Secret Sea] that he once explored during the promotion ritual! But why is [Blood Moon Secret Realm] involved with [Secret Sea]? ??Moreover, the feeling of finally squeezing into the barrier is somewhat similar to the feeling of entering the "light bubble" at that time. Could it be said that the world of light bubbles is actually a [secret realm]? The secret realm is actually located between the secret sea and reality? Some speculations vaguely emerged in his mind, but they could not be proven yet. "Huh..." Xia En took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He should be more concerned about his current situation than those distant truths. Xia En raised his head and looked around. ?In the sky, the **** full moon hangs alone in the night sky, and its scarlet light shines on the streets of this city. Thats right, the city! ?Beside Xia En, there is a well-preserved ancient city. ?The houses are mostly made of dark red and dark gray stones and are very low. ?The road surface is far from flat. Some roads are not even paved with stone slabs, but are simply dirt roads. ?The houses seemed to have been unoccupied for several years, and there was a thick layer of dust. ?The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of decay, which seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood. Decashed, ancient, backward ?This was Xia Ens first impression of this city. This is the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]? ?Xia En frowned slightly. ??Can you really find potions for promotion in such a shabby place? ?Before exploring outside, Xia En briefly observed his own condition, and found that he indeed looked like a projected body. Furthermore, consciousness can switch between ontology and projection at any time. Except that there is no sea water around, it is almost exactly the same as the usual [Deep Sea Diving]. I didnt expect that my smuggling would be successful. ?Xia Ens eyes were filled with joy. ?But think about it, the projection body can even explore the [Secret Sea], so it is not surprising to enter a [Secret Realm]. "Now, let alone Thunder Fang Loren, even if I encounter a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, there is no need for me to be afraid." ?This is the confidence that the projected body gives Xia En! Its open when its open? at this time. A scream suddenly sounded from the buildings not far away. ?Xia Ens eyes changed slightly. ?He moved, lurking in the shadows, and quietly rushed towards the direction where the screams came from. A moment later, Xia En came to the scene of the screams. ?Not far away, I saw a weird canine creature pouncing on something, biting and gnawing attentively. Its skeleton is half the size of a human, but it is astonishingly thin, as if only a layer of skin covering the bones is left. ?It is not difficult to see that underneath it is the corpse of a pirate. The corpse''s eyes were wide open, with fear and pain still on its face. ?Perhaps a few minutes ago, this pirate was excitedly looking forward to what treasures he could discover from the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. As if aware of Xia En''s gaze, the giant dog as thin as a skeleton raised its head. The moment he saw its appearance clearly. ?Xia En couldn''t help but his heart skipped a beat. because The face of this giant dog has the face of a man! The corners of the man''s mouth were hung with residual strands of flesh and blood, and a series of muffled and low murmurs came from his throat. ?There is no rationality that humans should have in those eyes, only boundless hunger, thirst and greed! Suddenly, it opened its ferocious mouth and suddenly rushed towards Xia En. ?Xia En didnt hesitate and hit it in the face with a straight punch. Boom! Under the huge force, the body of the human-faced dog suddenly exploded and shattered into pieces of flesh and blood, scattered all over the ground. ?With Xia Ens current attributes, it is naturally easy to kill such a mob instantly. But what surprised him was the few lines of information that appeared in front of him. Kill the Blood Slave Obtain trophies: Broken Blood Slave Corpse The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? "Um?" Thanks to "Weihuohu nv", "I am confused" and "book friend 20170608184346003" for the 100-coin reward! Thank you so much! Today I coded too much and I feel a little dizzy. There may be some minor mistakes. I worked hard during the day and there should be more!

Looking at these lines of text, Xia En frowned and his face changed slightly. ?This kind of monster with a human face and a dog body was actually transformed from a human being? ! Xia En lowered his head and carefully examined the fragments of the monster''s body. ??It was found that its bones seemed to have been forcibly squeezed and twisted by some force, and some features of human bones could even be vaguely seen. And saw the word "blood descendants". ?Xia En naturally thought of existences such as vampires and vampires. Is this [Blood Moon Secret Realm] actually the territory of the blood descendants? So, the purpose of [Blood Moon Night] ?Xia Ens eyes flickered. ??If he only encountered such a blood slave, he might think that it was just a special monster in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. But with Fei Ya''s warning in front of him, he inevitably thought more. And, the Scarlet Lord? ?Shane is no stranger to this name. Early when he was near Duke Island, he obtained a relic named [Scarlet Coat of Arms]. ?It is precisely because of this relic that he was besieged by some pirates. ??I originally came to Silver Moon Island to avoid the limelight, but why did I seem to have broken into the Scarlet Lord''s lair this time? The seemingly unharmonious relationship between Duke Island and Silver Moon Island is related to the Scarlet Lord, or is it just a disguise? ?Xia En just thought about it casually and felt a headache. ?However, what concerned him more than these problems was the [Secret Sea Crystal] exploded from the [Blood Slave] corpse. Is it because this [Secret Realm] is under the [Secret Sea]? Or is it because of the special characteristics of blood slaves themselves? Xia En thought for a moment and thought of two possibilities. But then I thought about it, no matter why he was able to explode [Secret Sea Crystal], he just absorbed the experience pack that was delivered to his door! Ship Soul Experience +0.2%! Unlock Talent: Blood Power Quality: inferior Description: You can slightly call upon the power in your blood. Since ancient times, blood has contained mysterious properties. If you discover this secret power, you will have power beyond ordinary people, right? ? Feeling the familiar coolness flowing through his body, the corners of Xia En''s mouth raised slightly. ??Although due to the characteristics of the projected body, the talent [Blood Power] seems to have little effect. But put aside all other factors. Be able to defeat monsters and upgrade, unlock talents, and possible secret treasures... ??This [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is just a variant of [Coral City] copy? Im so familiar with this! Xia En''s thoughts became clear instantly. I dont know who I am, I dont know where I am, I only know that I am going to kill people! As soon as Xia En cleared his mind, he heard an indistinct roar in his ears. Turning around to look, in the shadow of the dilapidated house, several blood slaves with human faces and dog bodies were approaching step by step. ? Their faces had either ferocious, painful, or distorted expressions, but their eyes were fixed on the pirate corpses on the ground, and sticky saliva dripped from their mouths. Obviously, it was the smell of blood from the corpse that attracted them. "Can one corpse attract so many?" Xia En was a little surprised: "Could it be...that this is also a kind of nesting?" The blood slaves didnt know what he was thinking. After a roar, the nearest blood slave couldn''t restrain its thirst for blood and suddenly turned into a black shadow and rushed toward it. In terms of speed, it is no slower than the ordinary [Coral Polyp Corpse] in Coral City! ?However, the current Xia En is far from what he was when he first entered the Coral City. With just a casual punch, the blood slave who had just rushed flew backwards at a faster speed and smashed against the wall. ?Its body twitched twice, and then it stopped moving. It is fast, has average strength and defense, and has quite tenacious vitality. Is it because of being a member of the Scarlet Lord? With this punch, Xia En used up most of his strength just to test the characteristics of this kind of monster. At this time, several blood slaves quietly came to the pirate''s body. Some were frantically licking the blood on the ground. Some pierced their teeth into the corpse and sucked it greedily. ?After ingesting blood, the withered bodies of these blood slaves swelled visibly to the naked eye, and their breaths also became different. Suddenly, one of the blood slaves trembled violently. A shrill wail came out of his mouth. Pale bone spurs grew and extended from its body, tearing its body apart, and scarlet blood gas steamed out from its surface. Immediately, it whined and pounced towards Xia En. But when the **** mouth closed, the sound of teeth shattering could be heard clearly, and several sharp teeth even flew out. With a solid attribute of up to 20 points, it feels like biting into a hard and cold piece of iron! Ship Soul Power -0.01! Xia En carefully felt the power coming from his arm and analyzed it secretly. Ability similar to explosive seed...should be related to [blood power]. However, its still too weak! ?He waved his hand lightly, and the entire human-faced dog was flung to the ground. Its bones were broken inch by inch, and it was a mess of blood and flesh. But when it lost its vitality, it no longer moaned, and the pain and distortion on its face seemed to be relieved. thank you? Thinking of the last sentence in the description, Xia En sighed softly. Then, let me give you relief. Immediately, without hesitation, he strode towards the monsters coming under the blood moon. Even with the abilities of small explosive species, the strength of these blood slaves is actually only similar to the ordinary coral monsters in Coral City. It didnt pose much of a threat to Xia En before strengthening. Not to mention his transformation in all aspects of attributes. It was basically pushed and crushed all the way, and the surrounding houses were in a mess as if they were hit by a tornado. There are no skills, its all numerical values! But this flat push did not last long. The blood slaves around him suddenly faded away like a tide. They all lowered their heads and prostrated on the ground, as if to welcome their master''s arrival. At the end of the road, a man wearing gorgeous clothes and a top hat walked slowly under the moonlight. He has a pair of black pupils, a pale face, a handsome appearance, and a faint smile on his lips. I said it was a lively day. Finally, fresh blood food was delivered to my door. On this day, I have...huh? Before the man in the top hat finished speaking, his expression changed slightly. ?He was surprised to find that the figure in the distance seemed to have no breath of blood? Not only that, the other party''s body seemed to blend into the shadow cast by the house, dark and deep, with an indescribable eerie temperament. Sure enough, is it the elite monsters turn to appear? "What did you say?" ??The man in the top hat heard the other party say something incomprehensible and just asked. The next moment, a **** hand had pierced his chest! Thanks to "Ye Xiangling" for the 2,500-coin reward, "Dark Protein" for the 500-coin reward, and "Pingyuan Zhiyuan", "Li Yang" and "Jintai Shuo Guoda" for the 100-coin reward! Thank you so much! By the way, please vote for next month and recommend votes! I seemed to have a bit of a cold yesterday, so I will try to write as much as possible today! Thank you all! (End of this chapter) Chapter 79 justifiable defense! Chapter 79 Self-defense! "you!?" ??The man in the top hat was shocked, and of course he wanted to avoid this fatal blow. ??But the speed of the black shadow in front of him was simply unbelievable, even faster than the movements of the adults in his clan in his impression! He only had time to bite the tip of his tongue. A scarlet blood arrow shot out from the mouth, trying to block the menacing fist wind. However, this blood arrow could not hold on for even half a second, and was directly shaken into a blood mist by the terrifying power. Then, in the mans frightened eyes simultaneously! Dark red and sticky blood spattered. The **** hand penetrated straight through his chest and grasped the still beating heart. This elite monster isnt that good either ??Xia En thought in his mind, he was about to crush this heart when he heard the man shouting in horror. Dont, dont kill me! Please spare my life! I am a resident of this city. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you! ?Xia Ens movements paused slightly. ?Just thinking about speedrunning the dungeon, I forgot that the elite monsters here can still communicate. ?However, he didnt expect that this man, who seemed to be quite capable, was actually so cowardly that he surrendered as soon as he got up to him. ??Having the idea that even if he was caught, it would be okay to torture him casually, Xia En asked. You are a blood descendant? "Yes, yes, I am Tver of the Falon family, and they are all my servants." A servant? Hearing this title, Xia En frowned slightly, but continued to ask. The blood food you just said refers to an outsider like me? Tver was startled and said cautiously: "Yes, every few years, a group of humans who don''t know where they come from will appear in the city." Most of the money has been taken over by the adults in the family, and low-class people like me can only get some scraps. After hearing this, Xia En understood clearly. ?Tver''s words undoubtedly proved his previous conjecture. ?The [Blood Moon Night] that happens once every few years is not a carnival to search for secret treasures at all, but a huge scam, a lie, and a trap! Many treasure hunters who enter the [Secret Realm] will become the prey of the blood descendants here and become the blood food in their mouths! No, not just food. ?Xia En glanced at the blood slaves around him and suddenly understood their identities. ?While being a little creepy, Xia En had more doubts in his heart. ??If all the treasure hunters were buried here, even the dullest sailor would be able to sense that something was wrong. In fact, many treasure hunters did successfully leave the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and claimed that they had obtained magic potions and secret treasures. It is precisely because of the propaganda of these people that the legend of [Blood Moon Night] will be widely spread in the nearby sea areas. ?So, did these people really obtain the secret treasure? Or, have they become one of these blood descendants? In Xia En''s impression, the vampires in this world also have a method similar to "First Embrace", which can transform ordinary humans into their own kind. on the other hand. As the host of [Blood Moon Night] and the governor of Silver Moon Island, is it possible that he has no idea about the situation in [Blood Moon Secret Realm]? The answer is obviously no. No wonder Fei Ya reminded me so solemnly. Now it seems that the water here is very deep, it is clearly a huge pit! ?Xia En thought so, and silently kept Fei Ya''s kindness in mind. While Xia En was thinking. A dark red, cold blood snake quietly emerged from the blood hole in front of Tver and climbed up towards his chest. This is Tver''s family secret. As long as the blood snake enters the body of a living creature, it can control the blood all over the other party''s body and will no longer be able to disobey its own orders! When he thought about getting such a powerful blood slave, Tver couldn''t help but smile on his face and thought to himself. Stupid and despicable pig, you have to pay the price for your arrogance! After breaking through the skin with some difficulty, the blood snake got into the body. But immediately, Tver was stunned. ?Just because, through the blood snake''s perception, he discovered that there was not even a drop of blood in this weird man''s body! ?Not only the blood, but also the organs, blood vessels, bones...these tissues that living creatures should have, are all missing. "How can it be?" ??Tver originally thought that he couldn''t detect the smell of blood and couldn''t see clearly the appearance of the weirdo because the other party used some kind of extraordinary relic that blocked his perception. But now, he knows he was wrong. ?The body standing in front of him is just an empty shell, a phantom that should not exist in reality! In an instant, the petite blood snake seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, and it quickly disappeared. Poof! ?Tver spat out a mouthful of blood and said in horror. You, what on earth are you? He raised his head and saw a pair of indifferent and cold eyes. The dark night and the **** moonlight made the man''s temperament even more eerie and mysterious. ?He couldn''t help begging: "No...please..." Only this time, the **** hand tightened suddenly, the heart burst, and the life flowed away rapidly. ??At the moment of Tver''s death, the surrounding blood slaves let out a strange cry, filled with indescribable joy and sorrow, and then scattered into the shadows of the city. On the other side, Xia En pulled his hand out of the corpse''s chest, feeling a little strange. Why is he so afraid of me all of a sudden? Huh? When did this [Ship Soul Power-1] appear? ??Xia En only felt a feeling like being bitten by a mosquito on his chest just now. Maybe... this vampire struggled in some way? ?However, even if Tver didn''t struggle, Shane had no intention of letting him go. The reason... Ship Soul Experience +3%! Talent: Blood Power (Inferior) (Ordinary)! Increase effect: blood perception Description: Your perception of blood has improved, and you can sense the smell of blood within a certain range. You can call me...bloodhound! Not just the blood slaves, the vampires here can also explode [Secret Sea Crystals]! Confirming this, a hint of joy flashed in Xia En''s eyes. Originally, he is not a murderous person. ??But if these vampires took the initiative to hunt him as blood food, of course he would have to take action and kill them. Justifiable and reasonable! After clarifying the next policy, Xia En experienced the effect of [Blood Sense] again. Can sense creatures with blood in their bodies within about thirty meters. ??If the target has a bleeding wound, the perception will become clearer and can even be tracked along the way. Obviously, the perceptual distance will also expand with the improvement of talent quality. It can be said that it is a very practical little skill. With the help of this ability, Xia En quickly discovered a mansion rich in blood aura not far away. But when he opened the door, the sight in front of him made him frown. besides! (End of this chapter) Chapter 80 [The touch of an alien god] (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 80 [The touch of an alien god] (Please subscribe! Please vote!) The heavy wooden door made a heart-wrenching sound. ?The cold and decaying smell is coming to you. Under the dim light, you can see the exquisite and old furnishings and decorations in the mansion, the tapestries on the walls, and the shelves with decorations... ?The most eye-catching thing is the black coffin in the center of the hall. The coffin was open, and the wooden lid was lifted aside. There was a top hat lying quietly inside. ??If Shane guessed correctly, this should be the residence where Tver lay dormant. After all, [Blood Moon Night] only appears once every few years. With such a long time interval, these vampires certainly need to sleep to reduce energy consumption. However, what worried Xia En more was the scene around the hall. The brilliance of the blood moon briefly revealed a corner of the shadow, and a large amount of dark red blood stains remained on the walls and ground. Many living corpses were thrown into the corner in random directions. The reason why they are called "corpse pieces" is because they are shriveled, twisted, and broken, and the human form cannot even be distinguished. ?However, they are still trembling slightly, and even wailing in despair. ?There, Xia En also saw a creepy and strange container. Or, cage? For example. For fun or to attract attention, some people will plant fruits such as watermelons and strawberries in an airtight container and let them grow into the shape of the container. And what if...these containers contain masses of active flesh and blood? At this point, Xia En finally understood why those blood slaves uniformly transformed into human-faced dogs. ?Shaan took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He also had his own guess as to why such a horrific scene occurred here. Long lifespan, closed environment, racial characteristics that do not treat people as human beings Under the influence of these factors, the minds of the vampires in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] may have long been alienated and lost their due humanity. They need blood, pain and excitement to satisfy their sick desires. In this case, it is not surprising that the vampires would do anything. It seems... I let him die a little too easily just now. ?Shaan sighed. He searched the room for a while and found a red and black windbreaker, as well as a lot of ancient coins and exquisite jewelry. Its a pity that [Ring of Apocalypse] cannot be used during [Deep Sea Diving]. Xia En guessed that this may be related to its "spatial" attribute. ??There is only one piece of loot brought back from each dive, so there is a high probability that the money cannot be taken out. ?But soon, Xia En found a dark red envelope and a strange ring in the coffin. Open the envelope and take a look. It is written in elegant and beautiful fonts. ?To Tver Fallon On the third day of the full moon, I will hold a grand blood feast in the castle. We look forward to your visit then. This ring is a small personal gift from me to you. I hope you like it. Deirdre Fallon Is this...an invitation letter? The content of the letter was simple and concise, allowing Shane to immediately capture the key points. The third dayblood feast ??Although Tver calls himself a "lower race", judging from the number of blood slaves he raises and the methods he displays, he still has some abilities. It is not impossible to be invited by a fellow clan member. As for the Blood Banquet, Xia En could guess the content of the banquet just by hearing the name. but "Since it''s a banquet, the experience packs present...oh no, there must be a lot of vampires, right?" The efficiency is definitely higher than if I look for them one by one. ?Xia En was thinking while observing the ring. ?It is made of brass, with a deep red iris pattern engraved on it, which seems to be some kind of blood-colored crystal or fragment of gemstone. Under the moonlight, it reflects a dark red viscous luster like real blood. Dark Scarlet Type: Relic Quality: Rare Description: A ring given by the mistress of the Falon family, representing her attention and concern. It is said that ethnic groups who hold such rings have the opportunity to develop a closer relationship with the mistress. When worn, the effect of "Blood Power" can be slightly increased. It can also be used as a token of identity. Scarlet, my name is strength! "Um?" ?Shaan thought about it carefully and found that although Tver was not as good-looking as him, he still had the potential to be a pretty boy. Looking at the effect of improving [Blood Power], he temporarily put this ring away. After doing all this, Xia En turned to look at the flesh and blood that had not yet rested, and took out a [Hui Jiao Amulet] that was a little different from before. After raiding other churches in [Coral City], he naturally found many similar Hui religion relics. The light group summoned by this [Hui Cult Talisman] is larger and the effect is more powerful. So it has been updated a long time ago. ??Xia En remembered that the effect of [Hui Jiao Amulet] will also be effective on ghosts and evil enemies. With the idea of ??giving it a try, he activated the amulet in his hand. Suddenly, a bright and warm light appeared in the dim house. ?The soft, water-like light spreads around, dispelling the coldness and evil lingering in the room. As the light spread, something surprising happened to Xia En. I saw a pure white flame suddenly burning on the broken and messy blood slave! ??The white flames swept across with astonishing swiftness, spreading throughout their bodies in the blink of an eye. ?In the flames, the bodies of the blood slaves suddenly became hollow and illusory. Shane could even see the shrunken organs and pale bones in their bodies. ?The white flames jumped and flowed, igniting those unclean things! This is different from the process of dissolving coral monsters, but it is also a kind of purification! Gradually, the expression on the blood slave''s face became peaceful and peaceful. No more madness and pain. They all looked in the direction of Xia En and opened their mouths. Even if there was no sound, Xia En could tell that it was talking. Thank you But when all the filthy flesh and blood were burned in the pure white flames, before Xia En could sigh, a strong warning signal surged up from his soul. The light of the blood moon suddenly became extremely cold. They seem to have become a medium of some kind of power. In the twisted air, there is a huge and terrifying will coming! ??In Xia En''s ears, layers of noises rang out, sweeping like a storm, turning into countless incomprehensible murmurs in his mind. Finally, it converged into a roar filled with anger and hatred. Even if Shane doesnt understand the language, he understands its meaning Get out, the touch of the alien god! There should be more! (End of this chapter) Chapter 81 Backup hidden energy (33) Chapter 81 Reserve Hidden Energy (33) Submarine is over! Please choose your trophy! 1.Dark Scarlet 2.Tvers black trench coat 3.Tver''s black hat Hoo! Xia En opened his eyes suddenly. ?The turbulent and chaotic senses seemed to still remain in his mind, making him dizzy and unable to recover for a while. After a moment, the chaotic noise faded away like a tide, and Xia En quickly woke up, with an expression of surprise and uncertainty on his face. That was that just now? Just now, the warning sign rising in Xia En''s heart was very similar to the feeling after using the Hui Cult Talisman in the Coral City Palace. It seems that its aura has attracted the attention of some powerful beings. He...is the Scarlet Lord? Considering the special environment of [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Xia En couldn''t help but have such an association. As soon as we met, he told me to get out so rudely. ?This Scarlet Lord doesnt seem very friendly! Xia En secretly cursed, and then thought: "But what about the touch of an external god?" The word "touch" sounds like it is some kind of sensory organ. As for the outer god, does it mean the Lord of Radiance? still ??If it is the Lord of Hui, why do you feel...that he is so unpopular? ??Not only is he disgusted by the beings in the Coral City, but the Scarlet Lord also seems to have a grudge against him? ?However, the matter of gods is still too far away from Xia En. He just thought about it casually and returned his attention to the present. First of all, it can be determined. The relics of Huijiao with sacred characteristics can also be effective on vampires and blood slaves. The specific performance is different from the melting of the coral monster, turning into pure white flames. But on the other hand. Once the Hui Cult relic is used, it will lead to the expulsion of the Scarlet Lord. For now, Shane has no means of resisting such expulsion. In this case, the Hui Jiao relic can only be used as a backup hidden energy source. ?Shaan also thought of another usage. Every time when the submersible is about to end, or when I encounter a vampire that I cant defeat, I will take out the relics of the Hui Cult and blast them with them! Although the number of vampires in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is large, it is ultimately limited. ? ? If it had been attacked by him "self-destructively" for a month, that ancient city would have become much cleaner, right? While Xia En was thinking. Two bells sounded on the deck. Xia En''s heart moved. The bells are not urgent, which means that there is a ship approaching, but it is not a dangerous pirate ship. He stood up and walked out of the cabin quickly. As soon as he walked onto the deck, Shane saw a bright silver steamer approaching slowly under the moonlight. ?The bright moonlight shrouds it like a veil, making it look even more delicate and beautiful. Master, it is so beautiful! ?Xiao Hei''s voice of surprise sounded in Xia En''s ears at the right time. ?Shaan: Although, you are really just a ship! ?Before he opened his mouth to persuade Xiao Hei to give up some bold ideas, he heard Xiao Hei continue to speak. Master, can I become more beautiful than this? ?Shaan: ??? ?At this moment, he realized that he had misunderstood Xiao Hei. I thought it was a forbidden love between two ships. It ended up being you? ?However, Xia En looked at the sails and deck of the ship, and then thought about the dark keel and gluttony steam turbine deep in the hull, and said with relief. Xiao Hei, in my heart, you are always the most beautiful! Furthermore, each ship has its own different paths, advantages, and characteristics, so you must seize its own advantageous area. You cannot achieve true growth by simply imitating! ?Xiao Hei was confused and confused. But in its heart, the master is always right, and these words sound reasonable. ?However, it seems that the owner hasnt answered its question yet? at the same time. Petrel gradually moved closer to Black Swan. Looking at the ship in front of him, Dulan, the captain of the "Petrel", had a flash of surprise in his eyes. In fact, he noticed this ship when the blood moon first appeared, but he was not sure whether it was the Black Swan he recognized. As he got closer, Dulan was even more surprised. ??Having not seen it for just half a month, this [Black Swan] has a completely new look. The dark blue new hull looks extremely strong, and the dark sails on the mast are swaying in the wind, as if they are whimpering lowly. The whole ship gives people a feeling of being alive, as if it is gently rhythmizing and breathing with the lapping of the waves. As an official second-level secret traveler of the Federation, Duran is also well-informed, so he has seen some "alive" ships. Compared with them, the "activity" of [Black Swan] is only stronger! You must know that the captains of those ships are all famous figures on the sea. Either a great pirate, a consul, or a general in the navy. And what about the captain of the [Black Swan]? Just a small first-order secret pather! ??Far from being despised by this, Dulan increasingly felt that the captain had endless potential and an unlimited future. ?It is for this reason that Duran took a certain risk and came near the [Black Swan]. ??Seeing the handsome young man on the deck, Dulan breathed a sigh of relief and waved hello. Captain Shane, long time no see! Isnt this Captain Duran? ?Shaan was a little surprised to see Dulan with a pair of furry ears. ?After returning to Duke Island, shouldn''t Dulan be hunting in the nearby waters? Why did he come to Silver Moon Island? ??Moreover, there seems to be an unwritten unspoken rule in previous [Blood Moon Nights] - Official personnel of the Seven Seas Federation will not participate in the fight for the Blood Moon Secret Treasure. But this year ?Things seem a little different? At this time, Duran jumped onto the deck of the [Black Swan] with a slight jump. He first looked around to make sure he was far enough away from some ships, then walked to Xia En and said in a low voice. Captain Shane, there shouldnt be anyone on your ship who has entered the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] to explore, right? Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood. But his face remained calm and he replied: "No." What does the journey of exploration of the projected body have to do with me, Xia En? "That''s good." ?Dulan''s expression relaxed a little, and then he solemnly said: "I only want to say one thing..." You should never enter the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], right? Xia En said calmly. Hearing this, Dulan was stunned for a moment, and then said with emotion: "Captain Xia En is really not an ordinary person, but I am doing this unnecessary." In other words, I have already kept Captain Durans kindness in mind. But I have one more question What is the Seven Seas Federations attitude towards [Blood Moon Secret Realm]? Xia En looked at Dulan quietly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people''s hearts. ?Dulan hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "There are some things that I really can''t say." "But at least this time, the Federation...stands on the opposite side of Silver Moon Island!" "Xiaotian" in the previous article has been changed to "Xiaohei!" Originally I thought names like Little Black, Little Swan and Little Goose were not very nice, but considering the background and word order in the article, I still made the substitutions! The main one is to listen to advice. Although it still doesn''t sound good, I tried my best. Please forgive me! If I write the wrong hand order later, I hope you will remind me in time. (End of this chapter) Chapter 82 Praise to the God of Steam and Steel (3000) Chapter 82 Praise to the God of Steam and Steel (3000) The moonlight shines coldly. ?Slightly scarlet, fine waves gently slapped the hull. ?Xia En stood on the deck, silently watching the "Petrel" drift away, but his thoughts were ups and downs in his heart. He had previously guessed that the Seven Seas Federation, as the largest force on the Seven Seas and also nominally in control of the islands, would most likely know the truth about the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. ?Dulans arrival not only proved this point, but also brought a piece of information worth pondering The Federation seems to be taking action on the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]! Why did you choose this [Blood Moon Night] instead of paying no attention to it before? ?Shane doesnt think this is a pure coincidence. Perhaps, some vampires have already climbed to the top of the Seven Seas Federation. And within the top leadership of the Federation, they are not monolithic Then again. ?The federal government''s intervention is undoubtedly a good thing for ordinary treasure hunters, and it may allow them to save a small life. But for Xia En, it didn''t have much impact. ??He still plans to continue exploring the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] step by step according to the original plan. ? ? Converging his divergent thoughts, Xia En walked back to the captain''s cabin. In the corner of the room, on a chair covered with a thick blanket. The white and smooth cologne egg is lying there peacefully. ?Xia En took the opportunity to stroke it for a while. The touch from the eggshell is as warm as jade, with a touch of body temperature, and it feels great to the touch. This is a habit that Xia En has developed during this period. ??Although Gu Long Dan has not spoken since the day he was brought on board. But he could also sense that this ancient egg had actually fallen into a special state of dormancy. ?The breath of life in it is becoming calm and restrained, but it also contains violent and vast transformation. Like clouds gathering stormy weather. Crew: Ancient Dragon Egg (hatching) (unbound) This message on the panel also proved Xia Ens conjecture. ?With the idea of ??deepening the relationship with the scheduled crew member, Xia En would **** twice a day. Not to mention, once you become proficient at egg-rolling, it will be similar to playing with cats and dogs, and it will give you a different kind of pleasure. ?Shaan said softly while stroking the eggshell. Little one, how long will it take for you to break out of your shell? I hope... you wont keep me waiting too long. In Silver Moon Bay. Under the protection of many small and medium-sized frigates. A huge ship with a dark viper is drawn on the sail, moving slowly on the sea covered by the blood moon. This is the [Viper] with a terrible reputation! ?Different from the wooden hull of ordinary ships, its hull has a lot of steel structures, which reflects the metallic luster under the moonlight. There are vague shadows of some steel battleships on the earth. ? And the towering chimneys, the rising steam, and the melodious whistle... It all shows that this large ship is equipped with a high-level steam device. ?Yinyue Island''s steam technology is relatively developed, so its use on ships is naturally indispensable. ViperThere are three levels of cabins on the deck alone. Those who can board these cabins are all prominent figures on Silver Moon Island, and their status is quite respected. In a cabin at the deepest level on the second floor. A large amount of white steam with sacred properties is filling every corner of the room. The gears rotate, the connecting rods vibrate and buzz, mixed with the low roar of the steam core, together they form a prayer and praise unique to the machines, rising and fluttering together with the steam. Push the lever, activate the piston Press the button and start the engine Sing with one voice in praise of the God of Steam and Steel With a sigh, the boy who was prettier than the girl ended his prayer. At this time, Feiya''s face was unnaturally flushed, large beads of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and there was a faint scarlet color in her pupils. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress some impulse. Such symptoms are slightly relieved with the completion of prayer. After a moment, Fei Ya let out a long breath. Sure enough, due to the appearance of the blood moon, the blood instinct has become stronger? Just praying to the God of Steam has long been unable to completely suppress this desire. The effect of alcohol is also declining. Besides, if I continue to drink too much, my brain may really go bad. It seems that we cant delay it any longer A wry smile appeared on Feiya''s face. Of course he knew what some people in the pub said about him. Steam madman, Drunken alcoholic believer, Mechanical violence maniac ??Feiya doesn''t like these nicknames either, but he... doesn''t have a choice! The limbs connected to the steam engine are feeling slight itching and pain, which seems to be a signal of anxiety. This is the deep instinctive desire of this body. It only needs to drink fresh blood, and the missing right arm and left leg can grow quickly. ?However, compared with the suffering of the "attack" just now, this test is nothing more than child''s play. Feiya easily suppressed this impulse, walked to the table, picked up the bread and wine, and started eating. He needs to replenish energy as much as possible before setting off. Although thanks to his mothers bloodline, he can eat normal food to maintain his daily needs. But his fathers bloodline prevented him from feeling any taste when eating these foods. Fortunately, Fei Ya has been eating such tasteless food for more than ten years. I dont think theres anything out of the ordinary. While eating, Feiya opened the window and looked at the sea covered by the blood moon. Huh? Is that...the Black Swan? "Captain Shane, did you really not listen to my advice?" Feiya sighed, not surprised. After all, we have only met each other a few times, so we cannot expect the other party to trust us unconditionally. However, if we are lucky, we can meet in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. At this time, the steam manipulator named Mili buzzed, as if asking a question in doubt. Huh? You ask me why I still eat these things even though I know they are unpalatable? Silly boy, of course its because I dont want to drink other peoples blood. Buzzbuzz Not only Mili, but also the steam devices in the room made a suspicious buzz. "ha?" Why dont you just join them? You have a lot of questions today! The reason Feiya swallowed the last bite of bread, picked up a box filled with steam devices, and then climbed onto the windowsill. Looking at the scarlet blood moon on the sea, the boy''s lips curved into a wanton smile. Damn it, its up to me to choose my own path! next moment. The full moon shattered, and waves of silver and blood rippled. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ViperThe largest and most luxurious cabin. Listening to the sound of water coming from the side of the ship, "Viper" Quinn''s face showed no emotion. He is tall and straight, wearing a decent black dress. ?That pale face was bloodless, and the pupils of his eyes were a beautiful deep red. He looked like he was in his early twenties, and had a completely different beauty from Feiya. Even gives people a sense of harmlessness and weakness. ??When normal people first saw him, they would probably have difficulty connecting him with a cold and vicious nickname like "Viper". It''s just that behind him, both the housekeeper and the maid, all lowered their heads in great respect. ?That tight body and meticulous demeanor all reveal a kind of fear and surrender hidden deep in the blood. In the room, there are several noble and higher-status vampires who are enjoying the "good wine" in the cups. Looks like a small banquet. The main course was a girl who was still breathing on the table. "grown ups" Not long after, the butler with silver hair and black eyes came in and bent down to report. The young master has entered the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Well, I understand. Quinn picked up the wine glass filled with scarlet liquid next to him and took a sip, showing some enjoyment. ??The silver-haired butler was startled, but continued: "Some time ago, the young master seemed to have corresponded with people from the Federation." "I wonder...will it affect your master''s plan?" Hearing this, a figure wearing a brass mask and covered in gray robes standing not far from the room spoke in a low voice. Quinn, its time for you to seriously control your children. If he ruins this hunt and makes the clan leader dissatisfied, lets see how you end it. As the elder of the clan, his tone was vaguely condescending and reproachful. Dont forget, why are you able to secure your position as consul? In response to this, Quinn just chuckled gracefully. Children are ignorant and it is normal for them to do some self-righteous things. Who hasnt been young yet? ??The man in gray robe sneered: "Oh, if I were you, I would not leave such a rebellious heir." Are there any females on the island who dont want to mate with you? As long as you spend a long time, you can always cultivate one or two satisfactory children. No, you dont understand. ??Quinn shook his head, a strange light flashed in his blood-red pupils, and his tone was slightly fanatical. Feiya is different. He can be closer to the Scarlet Lord than me and you... But before that, I will completely destroy his faith and persistence, and let him fall into the arms of the Scarlet Lord with all his heart. This [Blood Moon Night] is undoubtedly the best opportunity. ?Feeling the coldness in these words, the man in gray robe felt a chill in his heart. He said with all sarcasm. As expected of a man who cut off the hands and feet of his own heirs with his own hands, what are you going to do with those people in the Federation? There was a hint of contempt in Quinn''s eyes: "They will soon understand that everything they have done is nothing." Since you have come, stay here forever and become our blood food. After saying that, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said towards the blood moon on the sea. A toast to the Scarlet Lord. ?Seeing this, the other vampires in the cabin also raised the wine glasses filled with blood and shouted in unison. A toast to the Scarlet Lord! A blink of an eye. It was the next night. The blood moon appeared on the sea as scheduled. ??Xia En put on a ring named [Dark Scarlet] and sat in the captain''s cabin with a rather expectant look in his eyes. Yesterday, he was forcibly kicked out by the Scarlet Lord because he used the Hui Cult Talisman. A lot of ship soul power was wasted, and it was not fun at all. ??Thinking of what the vampires did in [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Xia En felt sick, and it was really unpleasant not to chop one or two more. ??The moment the words [Deep Sea Diving] lit up, he closed his eyes and whispered to himself. Have a good hunt tonight! Thanks to "Hao Sleepy Tears and Tears" for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much! (End of this chapter) Chapter 83 Camouflage and detection, false night sky! (3000)( Chapter 83 Camouflage and reconnaissance, false night sky! (3000) (Please vote for me!) The light and shadow in front of your eyes fluctuate and change. When Xia En opened his eyes again, he found himself in a corner of an old and dilapidated city. The cold and decaying smell penetrated his nose. This...should be the place where I first came yesterday. Is the location of the descent related to the position of the ship on the sea? This is the same as diving in the sea. Looking around at the streets, Shane came to a conclusion. Having a fixed initial exploration point is obviously a good thing, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to have to confirm the position every time you dive. ?Shaan first came to Tver''s mansion to confirm that all the blood slaves here had been purified. Subsequently, he took the windbreaker and top hat left by Tver. After all, the appearance of the projected body is different from ordinary people, and there are sailors and pirates from other ships in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Appropriate covering is still necessary. It would be bad if I scare away the vampires who want to hunt me. ?With this idea in mind, Xia En began to disguise himself. It has to be said that Tver''s figure is not much different from his, which makes these clothes quite suitable. Not long after, Xia En''s image suddenly took on a new look. In the mirror hanging on the wall, such a figure appeared ??The long black windbreaker covered the whole body, and the wide-brimmed black top hat and the upright collar hid the blurred face. From the gaps in his clothes and hats, some strange, dark, shadow-like substance that was different from flesh and blood was revealed, and it seemed to be moving slightly. ?Shaan: Why does it feel more scary? Master, is this what you said, should you seize your own advantageous area? I completely understand! ??Xiao Hei''s voice sounded in his heart and gave Xia En one last finishing blow. ?However, once the disguise is over, there is no reason to take off the clothes anymore. You just said there was no disguise, right? ?Xia En comforted himself in his heart and walked out of the mansion. Speaking of which, where is the castle in the invitation? It should be a conspicuous building, and its not too far from here. Although there is still one day before the "blood feast" mentioned in the letter, it is the basic quality of every fisherman to visit the spots in advance. After thinking for a moment, Xia En chose the most efficient investigation method. He took a deep breath, bent his legs slightly, and squatted down. As he squatted down, many cracks appeared on the stone road under his feet. Immediately afterwards, his legs exerted force. The ground felt like it was hit hard, and air waves and smoke spread outward together. next moment. ?His entire body turned into a black meteor, rising straight into the sky! As the saying goes, stand high and see far. ?? But Xia En was too lazy to find a tall building and climb up. He jumped directly to a high place. Wouldn''t he be able to have a clear view of the city''s structure? It sounds a bit exaggerated, but with Xia En''s current physical fitness, this is not something that cannot be done. Boom! ??Xia En stepped on the roof of a house halfway, and used the recoil to increase the height again. As a price, a huge hole suddenly appeared on the top of this abandoned and dilapidated ancient house. After shaking continuously, it slowly collapsed! ??Rumble The ground shook and smoke and dust flew everywhere. ?With the help of this kind old house, Xia En was able to see most of the city. ??This city is much bigger than he expected. The area is almost comparable to the [Coral City] under the sea. This old, low-rise house is located in a corner of the city. ?Looking across two or three blocks, you can see a particularly eye-catching gray castle. Think about it, that''s the castle where "Deirdre Fallon" lives. ?Shaan silently memorized the location of the castle. Then, his eyes swept farther away. Can you see that there are several castles of different sizes standing in the distant city, and there seems to be some clear boundary between them? The Falon family is certainly not the only blood family in this city. Different families may have their own territories Soon, Xia En looked towards the center of the city. ?There is an unusually tall dark castle, larger and towering than all the surrounding castles. ??The scarlet blood moon just hangs high on the slender spire of the castle. It has a vague and mysterious temperament that complements each other, exuding a faint pressure. Obviously, the most powerful vampire in this [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is living in that castle. Where is the final BOSS? Dont worry, Ill go find you after I clear out the monsters. Shaan has set a small goal in his mind. ?Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and his expression changed slightly. only because He saw the boundaries of the city! Bordering the edge of the city is endless darkness. This is the ultimate pure black, as if all things have not yet been born, as if the universe is extremely dark after it has ceased to exist. ?This pitch black seems to be eroding the boundaries of the city all the time, but is blocked by an invisible film under the influence of some strange and mysterious force. ?If you look carefully, you can see some hazy starlight that seems to be shining from a very far distance. No, its not just city boundaries Xia En suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head, and looked at the night sky high above. The eye-catching blood moon in the night made him subconsciously ignore the existence of the night sky. But once you look carefully, you will find that the darkness there also has the same qualities! This sky is false! The entire [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is just a space wrapped in a huge membrane! Outside the film is the constantly rolling [Secret Sea]! By this time, Xia Ens suspicion was finally confirmed. From this perspective, it seems to be a reasonable thing for vampires to be able to explode [Secret Sea Crystals]. While Xia En was observing and thinking, his body inevitably fell downwards. Soon, he heard a strange roar. ??There were also several malicious eyes peering at him from the darkness. Is it really coming? Xia En''s "reconnaissance" with such a high-profile will naturally attract the attention of other people in the city. And this happens to be one of Xia Ens purposes! Compared with just looking for monsters one by one, obviously letting the monsters come to you is more efficient, right? ?Shaan threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind and raised the corners of his mouth under his collar. Hunting has only officially begun now! Boom! ?After Xia En adjusted his body angle, his body crashed into a group of incoming blood slaves. In an instant, several blood slaves were directly crushed into pulp by the huge force, and were "physically purified" without any pain. The blood slaves around him were thrown away by the air waves and hit the wall. They twitched twice and then stopped moving. Xia En stepped on their carcasses and looked around. I saw that these blood slaves had been transformed into the shape of sheep, with strong pain on their faces. Ill help you get rid of it. ?Xia En sighed and strode towards the group of blood slaves. In just a few round trips, the blood slaves in the street were completely gone, leaving only pieces of flesh and bones on the ground. Ship Soul Level: LV2 (9%)! ??Low-level monsters like blood slaves obviously dont give much experience points. Just in time, Xia En looked up and saw a gorgeously dressed woman standing in the light of the blood moon. Outsider, how dare you kill my beloved lamb. Kneel down now and kiss the toes of my shoes, and I might even give you a chance to be my slave. The woman''s tone was filled with a special kind of arrogance, and her eyes seemed to be looking at some kind of lowly and inferior creature. "oh?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, and without even the desire to talk, he strode forward and approached the woman. Seeing his astonishing speed, the woman''s expression changed instantly, and she turned around and ran away! Xia En naturally chased forward. But just as he was walking through an alley, the sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly came to his ears. Five sharp blood arrows condensed with blood were shot at Xia En''s throat, eyebrows, chest, lower abdomen, and back of the heart at extremely tricky angles! this moment. The woman running away in front couldn''t help showing a proud expression on her pretty face, she thought to herself. Its done! After all, he is just a reckless man with some brute strength. ?After seeing Xia En''s leaping figure and the collapsed houses nearby, she naturally did not regard him as an ordinary outsider. She is not stupid enough to challenge the other person alone. In fact, there were five young men from the Falon family who laid the trap with her. It was up to her to lead this man into a trap, and the five **** arrows were naturally the work of the other five people. ?This kind of blood arrow comes with the secret power of blood. ?As long as it enters the body, whether it is transformed into a blood slave or directly detonating the heart, it is just a matter of a thought. ?Such a killing move, not to mention the first-level secret path, even the second-level secret path may make the person hate it on the spot! At this time, seeing the target hit by an arrow, the young vampires hiding in the dark looked at each other and were about to receive the loot. ?But suddenly I heard a low and hoarse voice. "Is this the extent of your sneak attacks?" Its a shame that I wanted to try the vampires secret technique... In the dim alley, Xia En raised his head. Amid the disbelieving looks of the vampires, he casually pulled out the blood arrow from his chest. ??In fact, the arrowhead failed to pierce his flesh and blood at all, but only penetrated the surface of the windbreaker. Five items [Ship Soul Power -0.1! The information is enough to show their weakness. Xia En, who possesses [Blood Sense], has long been aware of the ambush and walked into it just for a small experiment. But the results were somewhat unsatisfactory. The test is over. Xia En grinned and stretched his muscles: "Now, it''s my turn." The next moment. With the sound of air squeezing, Xia En''s fist came in front of the woman. ?That beautiful face was directly dented, and blood spurted out from the nose and eye sockets. The woman quickly begged for mercy in a vague manner. Dont kill me, I want to be your slave... ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After breaking her neck neatly, the woman fell limply to the ground and quickly lost her life. Ship Soul Level: LV2 (10%)! "you are the first." ?Xia En looked at the Vampires escaping in a hurry not far away, his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile. Next, who is the better prey? Tonight, Shane joins the hunt. Meow, monthly ticket, please! (End of this chapter) Chapter 84 Your ability is very good (3000) Chapter 84 You are very capable (3000) This night in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is destined to be uneventful. After the first day of exploration, even the dullest treasure hunter can realize... [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is completely different from the "golden land" they imagined where secret treasures are everywhere. ?There are almost no treasures here, there are just a group of ugly and weird monsters and some aboriginal people with malicious intentions! ?However, it is too late to realize this now. The vampires in the city woke up from their slumber one after another. Either start hunting directly, or out of their own morbid fun, play a game similar to "Battle Royale". Huchihuchi ??On the second floor of a dilapidated house, Randy, the dock boy, was hiding in the corner, trying his best to suppress his breathing. At this time, his face was pale, a layer of fine beads of sweat hung on his forehead, and his eyes were full of horror and regret. Damn it, if I had known that [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was such a ghost place, I would never have come in anyway! As a resident of Silver Moon Island, Randy can be said to have grown up listening to the legend of "Blood Moon Night". In the eyes of the adults, although there are many dangers in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the secret treasures inside are genuine. Someone got the magic potion and was promoted to a Mystic. ?There are also people who obtained ancient and mysterious relics and became rich overnight. Some people even rejuvenate and live a long life as a result. It is precisely because of these rumors that Randy has always been fascinated by the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". In the previous [Blood Moon Nights], he was still young, so he was not able to venture into it. ?This time, Randy not only used the money earned from working at the dock to buy some good equipment, but also called three or five friends to board a smooth sailing boat together, preparing to show off his skills in the secret realm. result Reality gave them a blow in the head. Not long after entering the secret realm, several people met a polite old gentleman. They were just happy to meet a living person when they heard the old gentleman say with a smile. Now, start your escape. Pleasure me to your hearts content with your screams, pleas, and fears. "The person who escapes to the end will be qualified to become my slave." Following this, a chase-and-escape game began like a cat playing with a mouse. ??Those who were involved in this **** game were not only Randy and others, but also nearby pirates and sailors. The most frightening thing is that the old gentleman obviously has the power to kill them easily, but he always maintains a leisurely killing pace. Only one survivor will be killed every hour. Like a cold and punctual God of Death, giving them death equally and irresistibly! Pekka, Sadik, Huo An At this time, Randy, who had been hiding for a day and night, had red eyes and silently recited the names of his dead friends, feeling angry and desperate. Of course he also wants to avenge his friends, but the gap in strength is too huge. ? Even several first-order secret path practitioners were killed by the old gentleman during the resistance, let alone an ordinary person? Boom ?Suddenly, a loud noise came from far away, causing Randy to wake up suddenly. Whats the noise? "Is there someone resisting that old guy again? Or is he trying to lure us all out?" ?Randy wanted to pretend that he didn''t hear anything and continue to hide in this corner. ?However, the roar outside the house not only did not stop, but intensified. Even the ground and houses under my feet were trembling slightly. Whats going on outside? ?Randy hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn''t restrain his curiosity and carefully looked out through the gap in the door and window. With a strong gust of wind. ??Randy could just barely see a black shadow passing through the night sky in the distance. And, in his hand, it seems that he is holding something else? next moment. The shadow slammed the thing in his hand onto the spire of a building. simultaneously! ?Blood spurted out, and a big hole opened in the chest of "that thing", hanging there like a skewer of meat. At this moment, Randy was able to see its true face. ?That was a young man with ancient clothes and pale skin! The young man had an "inhuman" quality that was different from ordinary people, which reminded Randy of the old gentleman in an instant. Is this young man a member of his race? Then, that black shadow is ??When Randy looked at the dark figure next to the young man, his eyes couldn''t help but glazed over. Under the **** moonlight. ?The pitch-black windbreaker rustled with the strong wind that had not yet calmed down. The tall wide-brimmed hat hid the man''s appearance, while adding a bit of elegance and beauty. However, there were still many mottled blood stains on those clothes, which even dyed the fabric a dark red color, complementing the brilliance of the blood moon. Its like...this city is his home court! ?However, if you try to peek at the true appearance under the windbreaker and top hat, you will ultimately find nothing. At most, you can only see some vague shadows and outlines. Who is he? ?Randy swallowed hard and couldn''t help but have such questions. at this time. In the night sky on the other side, another figure rose into the air. The moment he saw this person, Randy couldn''t help but feel his hair standing on end and his hair standing on end, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at him. Old thing ?This figure is an old gentleman from the vampire race who looks polite but is actually cruel and perverted. A pair of scarlet wings made of blood spread out on his back, giving him the ability to fly at low altitudes. No, his target is the man in black! ?Seeing the old gentleman appear, Randy was immediately nervous and worried, and was worried about the mysterious man in black trench coat. ??Although the speed and strength displayed by the man in black are extraordinary, it seems that he cannot defeat the old gentleman who masters the secret art of blood based on these alone. ?Randi thought as he still had some hope in his heart. "Will the Men in Black... win?" ???Meanwhile. ??The old gentleman stayed in mid-air and chuckled: "Finally, a good toy has arrived." If it were you, maybe you could escape to the end, right? Its a pity that you have to be exposed in front of me, then ?Suddenly, there was a "bang" and the crack of the vampire youth''s head, interrupting the old gentleman''s words. Old guy, has anyone told you... ??The man in black turned his head, his windbreaker became brighter red, and said slowly at the same time. You talk too much nonsense! The words came almost together with the roaring wind of fists. ??The figure of the man in black seemed to have crossed the shadows in an instant and collided with the old gentleman. ! Two bodies crashed into the building below. In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the wall of the entire house, and it collapsed downwards, sending smoke and dust everywhere. Damn it! You...dang! Despicableboom! Im going to kill...boom! Immediately afterwards, furious roars and thunderous hammering sounds were heard from the collapsed house. With each roar, gravel and dust flew away, and the earth continued to shake. ?Even the old houses nearby began to shake, as if they were about to collapse. ?Randy was dumbfounded and couldn''t say a word. ?At this moment, he finally understood where the sound and the shaking on the ground he just heard came from. ?This is not even a battle, just a one-sided beating! After a while. In the ruins shrouded in smoke, there was a brief moment of silence. After the humanoid tyrannosaurus ravaged the house, only a mess was left. The old gentlemen on earth are no longer as elegant and confident as they were at the beginning. ?His cheeks were swollen, one of his eyeballs was blown out, and he didnt know how many bones in his body were broken. But it has to be said that his vitality is indeed extremely strong. Even after suffering such a serious injury, he did not die. Instead, his injuries were slowly healing. ?Perhaps this is also related to the fact that the old gentleman has just absorbed a lot of fresh blood? ??The man in black is thinking. Hehe...hehehahaha! The old gentleman burst into wild, triumphant laughter. After all, I am just a lowly and inferior species, how can I compare to my body that has been blessed by the Scarlet Lord? Next, let me show you my true power! With the words of the old gentleman. ?His body suddenly underwent strange changes. The human epidermis cracked instantly, and ugly and disgusting granulations sprouted from it. The blood seems to have an independent life, coagulating and forming as it moves up and down the body. ??The bones creaked, causing its body shape to rise out of thin air, expand in a circle, and grow tissues like wings, claws, and bone spurs. A few breaths. He transformed from an old man into a skinless, ugly, bat-like monster. In other words, this is what he really looks like! ? ??The man in black was not surprised. Even the blood slaves have the second stage, let alone such powerful elite monsters. I saw this bat monster vibrating its wings and suddenly rising into the air. It looked down at the man in black with an ugly smile on its face. Foolish humans, run away as much as you can. I will make you die in despair! As he spoke, a spear of blood gradually condensed on the bat monster''s claws, and it aimed at the tiny human below. At this moment, the situation is reversed! In the house, Randy clenched his hands and couldn''t help but hold his breath. Despair thoughts came to mind again. Even the powerful man in black is no match for this monster? When the blood spear reached its peak, a flash of pleasure flashed in the bat monster''s ugly eyes. "go to hell!" The spear pierced the air and fell at an extremely fast speed. Then, it pierced the arm of the man in black, and the strong force made his body shake slightly. Hmph, youre lucky. ??The bat monster mocked: "Then how should you deal with the second one?" In his opinion, with the ability to fly, he was already in an invincible position. At this time, the man in black glanced at the [Ship Soul Power -3] on the panel! , said. Its amazing that you can hurt me. I would like to call you the strongest in this city, but...its time to stop here. As he spoke, he pulled out the **** spear on his arm. "Um?" ??The bat monster suddenly noticed something, and his eyes widened slightly. ?This **** spear was obviously its creation, but at this moment, it lost control of it. "How can this be?" At this time, the man in black had already grasped the **** spear, tensed his muscles, charged his arms back, moved his steps, and twisted his waist. The whole body seemed to turn into a big bow stretched to the extreme. ??The bat monster was frightened and flew higher. Boom! ??The spear tore through the air, carrying a terrifying force, and suddenly penetrated its heart! (End of this chapter) Chapter 85 Were safe, for now Chapter 85 We are safe, temporarily Ship Soul Level: LV2 (16%)! Talent: Blood Power (Common) (Rare)! Increased effect: Blood modeling secret technique Description: Your control over blood has improved again! You can consume mental power to shape the blood into various shapes and use them. The intensity of the spell after shaping is related to the activity of the blood itself and the concentration of secret power, and is also based on the user''s "mysterious" attribute. Special attack against enemies who also control the secret power of blood. Blood, ever-changing. As expected of being an elite monster in this area, the rewards are many! ??The man in black, that is, Xia En, looked at the information that appeared in front of him and couldn''t help but look happy. ??Although this old guy is a little harder to kill, the rewards are still very generous! Actually, if the second stage of [Communicating Ship Soul] is used, killing this old gentleman will only take a moment. but He doesnt deserve it. The second stage of once a day cannot be used on such a small character. ?So at the end, Xia En had a sudden idea, pulled out the blood spear, and dealt with the other person in the same way. ?The effect is outstanding! ?Of course, the premise that Xia En can do this is that he has received the talent of [Blood Power] from the vampires. It is impossible for ordinary people to imitate. This talent seems to be much easier to use than I thought ?Xia En touched his chin and thought to himself. ?Originally, he felt that the projected body had no blood, and only the body in the non-submersible state could use this talent. But now it seems Blood Powercan work wonders in many scenes. ?Especially after obtaining the new effect of [Blood Modeling Secret Technique], Xia En''s thinking instantly broadened. Become a sword, a sword, a shield, a great lock... ?Perhaps when the level of control is higher, it will not be impossible to conjure a pair of blood wings. To be honest, Xia En is still a little jealous of the old gentleman''s flying ability. Even if it flies very slowly and very low, it is still more graceful than his movement of taking off from the same spot, right? What? ?You ask how to use the projection body without blood? Yes, he has no blood, but dont these vampires have it? Lets try it on Qian. ?Shaan looked at the bat corpse beneath him. It has just died, its blood is still very fresh, and it contains many strange secret powers. ?Shaan stretched out his hand and placed his palm on the chest of the bat corpse. Immediately, he vaguely felt some vague murmurs, like countless male and female voices overlapping together. ?Emotions as misty and hazy as mist linger in it, including disgust, hatred, and fear... Is this the whisper of blood? ?Xia En was a little surprised. He suddenly realized that these voices might come from people who had had their blood sucked by the old gentleman. Blood, as a carrier, leaves part of their souls and emotions in the old gentlemans body forever. This seems to be called a kind of... pollution? ?Perhaps for this reason, the temperaments of these vampires seem a little crazy, sick, and twisted. ?However, these ideas are just guesses after all. ?Xia En let his thoughts wander for a while, and then began to focus on manipulating the blood remaining in the corpse. After a moment, he raised his hand. A sharp sword made of blood was pulled out from the chest. Blood Sword (temporary) Type: Equipment ?Quality: Rare Description: A long sword made from the blood of Basil Falon''s whole body, with relatively sharp and strong characteristics. When stabbed into the body of a vampire, there is a chance of causing "pollution" and "madness" effects. Injecting spiritual power again can change its form again. ]?????Note: If touched by a higher vampire, you may lose control of the weapon. Can this also be precious? ?Xia En was secretly surprised. ?However, after looking at the bat that had turned into a mummy under him and the word "temporary" on the panel, it was not incomprehensible. This time I really made the best use of everything, and nothing was wasted. Old man, thank you. ?Hold the freshly made **** sword, Xia En smiled at the mummy. Then, his eyes scanned the nearby houses. He could sense that there were several auras that were different from those of the vampires, hiding there. Apparently a foreign treasure hunter. But after thinking about it, Xia En was not prepared to contact them. Not to mention Xia En, he didnt know how to leave the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. On the other hand, by making such a big noise, he himself became the target of siege by the vampires. If these people follow him, they will die faster! ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s figure no longer stayed, and soon turned into a black shadow and left this place. ?Looking at the back of the black shadow retreating under the blood moon. The survivors around him were still a little dazed. ?Such a terrifying and horrific monster was still killed by the man in black... ?How strong is he? Tonight, that black figure is destined to leave an indelible impression in the hearts of many people. At the same time, in a dilapidated house. ??Randy witnessed the monster that the old gentleman turned into being shot down, and a sudden joy arose in his heart, followed by the joy of surviving the disaster. But soon, a greater confusion and despair came to my mind. Even if he escaped from the clutches of the old gentleman, he was still in this [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. ??And it is obvious that there are more indigenous people who are more terrifying than the old gentlemen, hunting outsiders like them in the city. Randy thought pessimistically. Where should I escape next? I cant escape in the end anyway In fact, not only him, but also some nearby outsiders who were still survivors had similar thoughts. Some people even let out low sobs. Despair and pessimism enveloped each of them. ?At this moment, with the sound of steam releasing pressure, the wooden door behind Randy was pushed open. His whole body trembled with fright. But what he saw face to face was a beautiful black-haired "girl." Her right arm and left hand were replaced by mechanical prostheses. ?This "girl" is none other than Feiya who entered the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Take it, shut up, and follow me. Feiya said very fast, and at the same time threw Randy a palm-sized spherical steam device. With this, they wont be able to sense your breath. If you lose it, I will kill you. ?Randy''s expression was still a little dazed. But at this time, Fei Ya had already turned around and walked out of the door. ?Seeing this, Randy had no choice but to follow him quickly. Soon, Feiya found all the survivors nearby and led them through several hidden paths and twists and turns until they arrived in front of an abandoned ancient house. Pushing open the door, there are many survivors inside. ?These people all looked at Feiya with admiration or gratitude. Closing the door, Feiya wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. We are safe, for now. (End of this chapter) Chapter 86 [Scarlet Enemy] (Additional updates for first order!) Chapter 86 [Scarlet Enemy] (Additional updates for first order!) Center of the hall. A steam engine in operation was roaring quietly and continuously emitting white steam. The ground is painted with lines that contain mysterious properties. ?More than a dozen injured and haggard-looking survivors were sitting on the ground around the steam engine, with a faint look of reverence and piety on their faces. At first glance, it looks like the scene of some kind of religious ceremony. "here it is" ?Randy couldn''t help but be surprised when he saw the scene in the ancient house. How could there be such a place in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]? Feiya glanced at him and said, "This is the shelter I set up." As long as you stay covered by the sacred steam, you will not be noticed by the vampires. By the way, this ancient house is equipped with a soundproof array, but if the volume exceeds a certain level, it will still be heard by those blood slaves with sharp ears. If you dont want to die, please pay attention to me. Hearing this, everyones faces showed a little joy. In this dangerous [Blood Moon Secret Realm], it is undoubtedly a comfort to have a safe place. But there is no use just surviving here. The survivors hope to escape from this ghost place. Soon someone asked: "Who are you?" Is there a way to leave [Blood Moon Secret Realm]? Feiya said calmly: "My name is Feiya. As you can see, I am a believer in the Church of Steam." As for the way to get out of here I can tell you clearly that there is. "real!?" There was a look of surprise on everyone''s faces. Dont be impatient, you guys, just listen to what I have to say. Fei Ya waved his hand and continued: "In the center of the city, in the old castle named [Red and Black], there is a passage to leave the secret realm and return to the real world." The light in the survivors'' eyes quickly dimmed. It doesnt take much thinking to know that there must be a powerful vampire in that castle. Feiya was not surprised by their reaction and said: "With the few manpower we have now, if we rush into the castle, we will undoubtedly seek death." But dont forget...we are not the only survivors in the city! ?Randy opened his eyes slightly: "You mean..." The Vampires are powerful, but they are also selfish, suspicious and arrogant. This is our opportunity. Each family has a clear division of territory. We can completely integrate the remaining survivors, defeat each family one by one, and rescue the captured people at the same time. ? Fei Yas attitude is extremely serious. All those who go to the sea to explore the secret path...if they spread out, they will only be hunted by the vampires. But together, they are also a group of forces that cannot be ignored, enough to shake the rulers of [Red and Black]! After hearing these words, everyone fell silent. Some people think this plan has certain feasibility. But some people are pessimistic and feel that even if all the survivors combined, they are no match for the vampires. Feiya knew it was time to give them a strong dose. "Treasure hunters alone may not be enough, but what if...we add the power of the Seven Seas Federation?" Hmm? Could it be that People''s expressions changed immediately. The word "Federation" is a symbol of authority in the Seven Seas! ?Just this name can give people confidence. I cannot disclose the specific plans, but there is one thing I hope everyone can understand. We have no choice in this battle! If you try your best, you may still have a chance to survive. If you do nothing, you are destined to die. Fei Yas words immediately awoke everyone. Its already like this anyway. If you dont work hard, are you waiting to die? Randy was the first to respond: "I am willing to follow Miss Feiya''s footsteps!" I will kill those vampires to avenge my friends! If someone takes the lead, other survivors will naturally follow suit. "Yes, it''s time for us to give it a try." I am also willing to obey Miss Feiyas orders! ?Everyone''s morale is high, which is a good thing. Randy is quite complacent and feels that he has contributed a lot. ??But when he looked at Fei Ya, he found that the other person was looking at him with gritted teeth, his silver teeth making a crunching sound. Have I offended Miss Feiya in any way? ?Randy was puzzled. ?On the other side, Feiya resisted the urge to beat the man up and continued to talk about the next plan to everyone. Tomorrow, the mistress of the Falon family will be at... In the ruins where the old gentleman died. The **** moonlight shines on the ruins, making it look desolate and tragic. At this moment, a pair of red high heels stepped into the place. Its owner is a beautiful woman wearing a red and black dress and a lace hat. ?Her figure is plump, her legs are slender, and her movements show the charm of a mature woman. She is the mistress of the Falon family Deirdre Fallon. Beside her were several very handsome young attendants. They all wear rings called [Dark Scarlet] on their hands. ?One of the attendants looked at the bat corpse not far away and asked curiously. Mother, why do you pay so much attention to the death of a fifth-class person? When he died, I had a very bad premonition... Deirdre walked towards the corpse and said in a hoarse and mature voice: "That seems to be a metaphor from the Scarlet Lord." The Scarlet Lord?! The attendants'' expressions changed slightly: "How could..." Is it because of the dark shadow wandering in the city? "Although the commotion he made is not small, if he really wants to say it, I''m afraid it won''t even reach the second-level secret path, right?" At this time, in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], there is more than one second-level secret path taker. ?What is so special about that black shadow that makes the Scarlet Lord look at him differently? I had some doubts at first. But now, I understand ?Looking at the shriveled corpse that had been drained of blood, Deirdre''s eyes became extremely gloomy, and her tone gradually became cold. He is...the **** **** thief! Hearing this title, the faces of the attendants suddenly changed. In their impression, it should only exist in ancient books and legends! Tell the other clan leaders the news. Deirdre''s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said solemnly: "The next time a black shadow appears, I will personally destroy him." Your actions have aroused the fear and hatred of the vampires! Acquire the status "Scarlet Enemy"! ?Quality: Rare Description: You have become the enemy of the Scarlet Lord! The Vampires in "Blood Moon Secret Realm" have wanted you. Once discovered, you will be surrounded by many Vampires. Please note that any blood may become a traced mark. The **** hunt has officially begun. Please give me a monthly ticket for more updates! (End of this chapter) Chapter 87 [Blood Moon Secret Treasure] and [Crimson Ancient Tree] (3000) Chapter 87 [Blood Moon Secret Treasure] and [Crimson Ancient Tree] (3000) In the shadow-shrouded neighborhood, a figure that passed quickly suddenly stopped. "This is?" Looking at the new situation emerging in front of him, Xia En had a strange expression. ? It feels like there are a few more stars in the upper right corner of the perspective. Isnt it just to kill an old man? "Why are they reacting so loudly? They are even wanted." "but" ?Shane quickly noticed the penultimate line in the description. Any blood could be a target for marking? The projected body itself has no blood, but if a vampire deliberately leaves his own blood on him, it is possible to lock his location. ?Xia En looked at the remaining blood stains on his windbreaker and the [Blood Sword] in his hand. Looks like Ill have to be more careful from now on. But this time ??He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took a sudden step forward, and struck out with a sword toward the house on the right! simultaneously! The wall was cut open with a sword, and at the same time, the head of a vampire youth flew high into the air. let me make a scene. Its not clear who is the hunter and who is the prey! Submarine is over! Please choose your trophy! 1. Broken Blood Slave Corpse 2.Pasan Falon''s Eyeballs 3.Bloodstone Necklace 4. Lisa Seths legs (including feet) Okay, you guys are stronger this time. ?Shaan opened his eyes in the captain''s cabin and touched his neck. ??The pain of being cut open by a sharp blood line still vaguely remains on the surface of the skin. ??Although he did cause a scene in the city and killed countless vampires and blood slaves. But the [Ship Soul Power] is limited after all, and if you fall into the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, it is inevitable that you will eventually suffer defeat. ?However, Xia En did not feel sad for the death of the projection body for a moment, but only felt that this wave was not a loss. ?His projections are infinite. The number of vampires in the secret realm is always limited. Lets see who can outspend whom! Subsequently, Xia En looked at these trophies. ?His eyes lingered on option 4 for a moment, and his mood was a little subtle. Why legs? Also emphasize the feet? Besides, it turns out that the corpses of vampires are also good materials? Pasan Falon''s Eyeballs Quality: Ordinary Type: Material Description: The eyeball of a vampire. After special processing and combined with other materials, it can be made into one-time props such as "Detective Eyes" and "Profane Poison". Pharmaceuticals are risky, so be careful when smelting. ?Think about it carefully, the corpse of such an extraordinary creature already contains a certain amount of secret power, so it is not surprising that it can be used as a material. It seems that among the thirty-two secret paths, there are professions like [alchemist] and [potionist]? Giving extraordinary materials to professionals like this is of great use. Unfortunately, I cant use it for the time being. ?Xia En didnt hesitate much and quickly chose the [Bloodstone Necklace]. ?This is also a relic of that "Lisa Sethis". ?This vampire woman''s strength is not inferior to that of the old gentleman, and she caused a lot of trouble to Xia En during the siege. ?And Xia En knows the essence of group fighting - It is better to grab one and beat him to death than to let the rain and dew fall on him. So, he chased Lisa Seth for three streets, and then, surrounded by all the vampires, beat her to death, and thus obtained this [Bloodstone Necklace]. After a thought. A necklace composed of several blood-colored crystals appeared in the palm of Xia En''s hand. ?This "blood stone" is different from the gems and crystals in Xia En''s impression. ?The surface has a warm temperature and even feels a little soft, as if touching the skin of a living person. If you look closely, you can find that there are many fine and tiny secret lines on it. Inside, there seemed to be viscous liquid flowing. Bloodstone Necklace Quality: Rare Type: Equipment Description: A necklace made of blessed bloodstone, which has the effect of calming and concentrating. After wearing it, it can moderately increase magic affinity, spell casting concentration, and stability. Bloodstone is a product secreted by the "Crimson Ancient Tree" after absorbing blood. It is a rare and extraordinary material. It is also the backup food for vampires. ??The necklace itself is not particularly special. It can only be said to be a good extraordinary piece of equipment, more suitable for spellcasters. ??But the information in the description made Xia En quite concerned. BloodstoneCrimson ancient tree There was a thoughtful look in his eyes. Obvious. Even if there are methods such as hibernation and deep sleep, the blood-drinking desire carved deep in the blood of the vampires is difficult to eliminate. So, how should they solve this physiological need during the long time between [Blood Moon Nights]? The blood stone in Xia En''s hand is undoubtedly the answer. Preserve concentrated blood in a solid state without losing its original activity. A perfect reserve grain was born. In the process, it also acquires mysterious and extraordinary characteristics. However, bloodstones do not have any restrictions that only vampires can use them. For some secret travelers, maybe this can also be regarded as a secret treasure? Theres also [Crimson Ancient Tree] the name sounds like its a good thing, and it might be able to produce something similar to a magic potion. from this angle. The legend about the secret treasure of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is not completely fabricated. Its just that ordinary explorers may not have the chance to see them. ?After thinking for a moment, Shane walked to the deck, ready to take a few breaths of fresh air. Staying in the decadent and depressing environment of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] for a long time will cause problems sooner or later. Mr. Captain! ?Joy, who was reading on the deck, noticed his arrival first and greeted him with a smile. ScholarThis secret path is just like its name. It requires accumulating a lot of knowledge in order to move to the next step. Therefore, the process of reading itself is actually a kind of practice. ??It just so happens that Joey is also a good kid who loves to learn. She knows a little bit about everything, which is exactly the sign of being good at learning. Its just because of my poor life when I was young, I didnt have the opportunity to study. ?Now that there was money on the ship, Xia En simply bought a batch of books covering history, geography, magic, cooking and other fields for her to enjoy. ?Shaan was originally worried that Joey didnt have a teacher and didnt know how to get started. Who would have thought that An actually volunteered and took on the responsibility of being a teacher. ?Xia En discovered that this knight was actually extremely knowledgeable! But when asked where he learned this knowledge, An said he didn''t know either. In his words It''s like... a long time ago, someone planted the seeds of this knowledge in my mind. As I grow, they grow out naturally. ?Shaan can only regard it as the "racial talent" of the elves. At this time, An was on the other corner of the deck, conducting a unique practice. ?His body, covered in thick armor, kept assuming strange poses one after another. The movement is very slow, but each posture seems to exercise most of the muscles in the body and is extremely energy-consuming. ?At the same time, the breath coming from under the armor carried an indescribable mysterious rhythm. One exhale, one inhale. It forms an incomparably harmonious ensemble with the beating of the heart and the flow of blood. Knight training method Knight Breathing Method These two secret techniques are the knowledge that An An created in his mind after being promoted to Knight. By the way, Sean also learned this skill after binding An as a crew member. Looking at the knight in front of him. Even without using [Blood Sense], Xia En could detect that this knight was getting stronger bit by bit. Be down-to-earth and accumulate a lot of experience. It is undoubtedly the best evaluation of An. ??Although there is no such exaggerated growth rate as Sean, the two crew members are still moving forward steadily on their own paths. ?Xia En felt a little relieved. After thinking for a while, he handed the [Bloodstone Necklace] to Joey. "This is?" This little gift for you may help you practice magic. ?Joy took the necklace and immediately felt how extraordinary it was. The active secret power is flowing in the necklace. ?However, this blood-colored crystal reminded her of the huge blood moon on the sea. ?But Joey didnt ask anything, just nodded heavily. Thank you, Mr. Captain! In fact, it was such a long time on the ship. ??Both Joey and An, they were vaguely aware of Xia En''s specialness from some clues. The truth is only a step away from the last layer of window paper. It''s just that both parties tacitly understood it and didn''t expose it. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?At this moment, the sound of water coming from the sea attracted Xia En''s attention. He turned around and looked. ??On a nearby salvage boat, several sailors jumped into the sea one after another. The faces of these people were full of excitement and anticipation. They have no idea what kind of dangers are waiting for them under the blood moon. ??Moreover, not only this ship, but also many ships on Silver Moon Bay sent a second batch of crew members to the sea today. ?There are even some ships that actually just arrived near Silver Moon Island today. It is foreseeable that in the next month, there will be groups of treasure hunters who will join the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] without hesitation. For the vampires, this must be a sumptuous feast. To be honest, Xia En doesn''t really care too much about the life and death of these outsiders. You choose your own path, and you have to bear the cost. But as far as these two submersible explorations... Xia En discovered that after drinking enough blood, the strength of the vampires will increase to varying degrees. Simply put, when the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] first opened, these vampires were actually in a "hungry" and "weak" state. But with the influx of treasure hunters, they will gradually return to their full glory. The difficulty of the entire [Blood Moon Secret Realm] will also continue to increase. When Xia En was thinking. rangdang ?Several bells rang not far away. He looked up, but couldn''t help but frown slightly. ?On the sea, I saw a huge ship with a siren sail, sailing towards the Black Swan surrounded by waves! Thanks to "Tao Yuanming" for the 100-coin reward! Thank you so much! Renovation started upstairs today, and I even had to go to the library to code. I felt... extremely ashamed! (End of this chapter) Chapter 88 [Siren]’s invitation, the blood feast begins! (300 Chapter 88 [Siren]s invitation, the blood feast begins! (3000) ??Pirate ship, [Siren]! ?Although Silvermoon Bay has a ban on fighting during the blood moon. ??But when they saw the big ship approaching, Joey and An immediately stood up and entered a state of alert. There are genuine second-level Mystics on board the [Siren], as well as a large number of first-level Mystics. ?The reward for its captain "Ye Ji" Alyssa in the Seven Seas Federation is as high as 150 gold dragon coins! The reputation and strength are far beyond what a small pirate ship like the Black Mountain can compare to. ?Shaan stood on the deck, looking at this oppressive ship, with an indifferent and calm expression on his face. ?This scene made the pirates on the [Siren] a little surprised. They dont see many captains who can face the Siren without changing their expressions. In fact, what is even more puzzling to the pirates is... Why did Captain Ye Ji, whom they called "Queen", take the initiative to board this little-known boat? Not long. The [Siren] is next to the [Black Swan]. Facing this ship that was several times his own size, the hull of the [Black Swan] seemed to be trembling slightly. ??But Xia En knew that this was not a tremor of fear, but a sign of excitement and excitement. Master, do you want to give them a shot? Such a big guy must be able to reveal a lot of good stuff, right? ?Xiao Hei''s warlike voice sounded. ?It wasnt just Xiao Hei, the sails on the mast seemed to be beating more violently, and the cannons on both sides were whispering lowly. Even the steam turbine in the deepest part of the cabin couldn''t help but scream "gurgling". ?Thats what theyre saying Captain, Im ready! ?Shaan: When did Xiao Hei become so bellicose? ??And the new members on this ship, why are they still making noise? Who did you learn this from? Dont open fire this time. If it provokes us next time, there will be plenty of opportunities to kill them. ?Xia En just comforted Xiao Hei in his heart. I saw a row of rope ladders dropped from the Kraken. ??The pirate above shouted: "Captain of the Black Swan, our captain wants to see you for something, please come on board!" Dont forget to take the little white-haired girl with you. As a pirate, his words were polite enough. Hearing the second half of the sentence, Xia En suddenly understood. Are you really here for Joey? Since it is called [Siren], how can it have nothing to do with the Siren? ?Xia En''s thoughts were wandering, but his face remained calm as he spoke. Since its Captain Ye Ji whos looking for me, she should naturally come to see me. How can there be any reason for me to board your ship? As soon as these words came out, the pirates couldn''t help but burst into an uproar. On the Seven Seas, strength has always been king. The second-level Mystic Path invites the First-level Mystic Path aboard the ship, which has already given him enough face. ??But this little captain actually wants Queen Yeji to come on board and visit? Is this crazy? What a courage! If you dare to make such a request, do you really think that we, the Siren, are easy to talk to? Just send someone to chop him down! ?Just when the pirates were excited, a cold voice sounded on the [Siren]. Quiet. ?This voice was neither light nor heavy, but it carried an irresistible majesty and clearly reached every pirate''s ears. Just for a moment, all the pirates fell silent. Amid their awe, admiration and admiration, a woman with blue hair walked through the crowd. ?Her appearance is exquisite and flawless, her eyes are also the blue of the sea, but she is wearing a men''s captain''s uniform, giving her a certain noble and aloof demeanor. The first impression she gives people is by no means soft, but a queen-like sense of oppression! The captain is right, I should board the ship and pay him a visit. "Ye Ji" Alyssa opened her lips lightly and continued to speak in a voice as cold as water. Immediately afterwards, she took a step forward, and blue ripples seemed to spread under her feet, and her figure disappeared into thin air. next moment. Alyssa has already stepped onto the deck of the [Black Swan]! Just standing on the deck, she exuded an awe-inspiring and powerful aura, which made Joey and An''s expressions change slightly. Looking at the female pirate in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in Xia En''s eyes. A magic similar to [Teleport]? Or is it the space secret technique mastered by the secret profession? ?Xia En could tell that Alyssa was deliberately showing off her strength by doing this. But what he said before was not a temptation? Alyssa''s willingness to board the ship in person means that the importance she attaches to Joey is absolutely extraordinary. ?Thinking of this, Xia En simply got straight to the point. "Captain Alyssa is looking for me. I think it has something to do with this crew member of mine, right?" "oh?" Alyssa glanced at Xia En unexpectedly: "In that case, I also made it clear, how many gold dragon coins do you need before you are willing to let her go?" Let her go? ?Shaan frowned slightly: "Captain Alyssa, you seem to have misunderstood." Hearing this, Joey suddenly realized that this famous captain of the "Siren" seemed to be here for him! ?She quickly walked to Xia En, faced Alyssa, and asked boldly. Captain, what do you want from me? ?Seeing Joey, Alyssa''s attitude softened visibly, and she said softly. Good boy, Im here to take you away. ??Joy looked confused: "Take me away? Why?" There are many children like you on my ship. They were forced to go to sea on the original ship and engaged in dangerous salvage work. Some of them were left with incurable injuries..." Please wait a minute, I have never been to the sea to salvage something. ?Joy quickly interrupted Alyssa. ? Alyssa''s beautiful face showed obvious confusion. Not only did I not go into the sea to salvage, but I was able to eat well, wear nice clothes, and even read magic books and learn magic. With the help of Mr. Captain, I have now become a first-level [scholar]! ??Joy took out the [Bloodstone Necklace] and said in a proud tone: "Look, Mr. Captain gave this to me too!" ? After hearing these words, Alyssa fell into silence for more than ten seconds. ??Is this really the kind of treatment a crew member with Siren blood can receive? Or is this captain actually a philanthropist? In fact, Alyssa''s purpose is not complicated. She just wants to rescue sailors like herself who have the blood of the siren. Due to the special nature of the Kraken bloodline, most "pseudo Kraken" will be used as salvagers. Coupled with the evil legends about sea monsters, they are even more prejudiced, and some captains even use them as slaves. Thats why Alyssa named the ship [Siren], and took in and accepted these people of the same race along the way. Attempting to give a place to these beings who are neither human nor real sea monsters. Today, the exceptionally pure and unique smell of the same blood on this small boat attracted her attention. but now ?After being silent for a long time, Alyssa wanted to make a last struggle and spoke. Your bloodline is very special, but it seems that your potential has not been fully unleashed. "If you are willing to get on my ship, I can take you to the [Siren Islands], where... is our hometown!" hometown? ?Hearing this word, Joey was stunned. When she first boarded the [Black Swan], it was to find the hometown in her memory. ?Now, that far away place seems to be right in front of her... At this time, Xia En also looked at Joey, waiting for her answer. Sorry, I refuse. Soon, Joey shook his head and said firmly. "I believe that without getting on your ship, my captain... will take me to the mysterious Kraken Islands!" "alright, I got it." Alyssa sighed and said sincerely: "I took the liberty this time." "These two little things are given to you as my apology. Please accept them." She took out two strange scales and handed them to Shane and Joey. "If we meet in the Blood Moon Secret Realm, I will also help you, then...see you again by fate!" After leaving these words, Alyssa took a step forward very freely, and her figure disappeared like a wave of waves. Joy and An both breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure of the second-level secret pathers is still a bit unbearable for them. Suddenly, Joey looked at Xia En curiously and asked a much bolder question than usual. Mr. Captain, did you think I was going to agree to her just now? Xia En said frankly: "Don''t tell me, it''s true." But...its no use if you agree. ??Joy asked puzzled: "Why?" Because, I wont let you go! Xia En laughed and said: "I am not a generous and selfless saint. Even if the crew members I like are tied up, knocked unconscious, or have their legs cut off... I will still stay on the ship!" "Even if you escape, I will chase you to the ends of the earth!" I just want to be vigorous and have no regrets! Listening to his laughter, Joey blushed inexplicably and asked, "Is it too overbearing?" Domineering? Just be overbearing! Xia En confidently said: "I am the captain, I have the final say!" Time flies by. The night came as expected. There is no day in [Blood Moon Secret Realm], only night. But the rising and setting of the **** full moon can also be used as a basis for judging the date. This night, it was time for the matron of the Falon family to hold a "blood feast" in the castle. ??The castle is luxuriously decorated, with shining golden ornaments, ancient and elegant murals, and bright red carpets laid to the door. A man and woman from the vampire race who were gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary appearance arrived as scheduled with an invitation letter. Their demeanor and behavior are very elegant and reserved, like nobles attending high-class dances. In fact, they are seeing themselves as a higher species than ordinary humans. At this moment, at the gate of the castle. ??The vampire attendant who serves as the doorman is asking a question to a figure wearing a windbreaker in front of him. Sir, please present your invitation letter. Inexplicably, I remembered a few crew members who were not able to get on the ship when I watched One Piece. Although tragedy leaves a better impression on people, I will not write tragedy! (End of this chapter) Chapter 89 We have a heretic among us! Chapter 89 We have a heretic among us! In front of the castle gate. Sir, please present your invitation letter. ??The vampire attendant spoke while secretly sizing up the figure in front of him. ??The man was wearing a long gray-white trench coat, with the long hem almost covering his whole body. Under the same gray-white top hat was a mask that covered most of his face. ?A mysterious and deep aura lingered around him. ?Such a mysterious and special shape will definitely attract attention in an ordinary town. But in this city shrouded by the blood moon, its actually not that special. The Vampires are a group of beings with weird and twisted personalities, and there are also many people who come to the "Blood Feast" wearing strange clothes. ?Some people even regarded this banquet as a masquerade, and wearing a mask really didn''t mean anything. ?However, I dont know why. Looking at this person, this vampire attendant was inexplicably reminded of the weird man in black who wreaked havoc in the city last night. No, no, nohow is that possible? ??The vampire attendant quickly rejected this conjecture: "I saw with my own eyes that guy''s head was chopped off by the mistress, and he was too dead to die." "Invitation card?" Is it okay to use it instead? The man in the trench coat stretched out his right hand, with a dark red ring on the black leather glove. The face of the vampire attendant immediately changed slightly, and his tone was both respectful and envious. Of course, sir, please come in. When other vampires saw [Dark Scarlet], their eyes also changed slightly. At least, in the territory of the Falon family, this kind of ring is a status symbol, representing the attention and favor of the family matron. Some vampires themselves are just low-class species. But after obtaining [Dark Scarlet], with the help of the mistress, it is possible to obtain the sublimation of the bloodline and leap to the fifth or even fourth level of descent! Amid the envious eyes of others, the man in the trench coat swaggered into the interior of the castle. Looking at the gorgeous decoration in the hall and the other vampires coming and going, he was a little surprised. You actually let me sneak in? "Isn''t the guard too relaxed?" The man in the trench coat is naturally Xia En in disguise. In order to distinguish himself from yesterdays image, he specially picked a windbreaker of different colors and put on a mask to hide his eyesight. ??There are so many vampires in the city, so it is not difficult to find one or two sets of clothes that fit. ?However, since the projection body has no blood, Xia En is actually ready to "fail to infiltrate and start Wushuang". In fact, what Shane didnt know was. For vampires, directly sensing the blood breath of the same kind will be regarded as examining their own prey, which has a very strong sense of provocation. ?This gave him a chance to successfully enter the castle. ?Shaan looked around. ??A long table was set up in the hall like a normal banquet, but it was empty. There were no dishes or drinks, only empty wine glasses. Obviously, the "main courses" will be served only when the meal officially begins. The vampires here are obviously stronger than the ordinary vampires in the neighborhood. The last-class species account for the majority, but there are also several fifth-class species with extraordinary reputations. By this time, Xia En already had a rough understanding of the hierarchy within the Vampire Clan. The lowest vampire race is called the lowest race, that is, people like Tver. The strength is generally slightly weaker than that of the first-level Mystics, but with the innate abilities of the vampires and the blood slaves under them, it is easy to kill the Mystics by surprise. Followed by the five types. The old gentleman from before was at this level. It is stronger than the first-level mystic, and also has the second-level transformation ability. ??Their number is not too many, but not too many. They are the backbone of the vampire clan. ??And if Xia En''s prediction is correct, the patriarchs of each blood family should be of the fourth level, at least with the strength of the second-level secret path! The third-level species probably only exist in the core castle. ?Looking at it this way, the top combat power of the vampires in this [Blood Moon Secret Realm] should only be the third or fourth level! ?Xia En was a little surprised at first, thinking that this combat power was slightly weak. ?But then I thought about it, in the sea area where Duke Island and Silver Moon Island are located, the strongest Archon is only a third-level Mystic Pathfinder. The treasure hunters who will come to [Blood Moon Night] to explore are generally weaker than the third level. Higher-level Vampires will definitely not be satisfied with just sucking the blood of first- and second-level secret pathers, so they are not in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. At this time, some vampires also noticed this strange fellow race. Soon, a tall and thin young man came forward and smiled. Sir, this is Murtagh. Your clothes look a bit strange. Is this your first time attending the Blood Feast? Xia En''s heart moved slightly. He originally wanted to wait for the mistress of the Falon family to show up and take action. But now I am idle anyway, so it wouldnt be a bad thing to ask for some information. So, Xia En nodded and said: "My name is Tver. It is indeed my first time to participate in the Blood Banquet. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Haha, then you really asked the right person. Murtagh smiled and said: "I have participated in the Blood Feast three times and am proficient in how to enjoy various ingredients. They all call me... gourmet!" The best taste is to be an untouched virgin, but unfortunately it is a rare thing that can only be found. Among those outsiders, there are occasionally one or two clean young men who fill a cup with their hearts blood. Believe me, friend, you will never forget the taste once you taste it ??This vampire''s eyes flashed with excitement, and he talked endlessly about the method of tasting "delicious food". But he didn''t notice at all that Xia En''s eyes under the mask were becoming colder and colder. By the way, speaking of You may not know this if you are participating for the first time. Murtagh continued: "Every blood feast is actually a ceremony to add new blood to the family and welcome new members." "new member?" Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows. "Yes, to put it bluntly, it is to select some with good talents from those lowly outsiders and transform them into our own race." If you are of the fifth level, you can also choose a lucky person to inherit the bloodline. When talking about this topic, Murtagh was obviously a little aggrieved and lowered his voice. Let me see, this is really cheap for them! Its just food and livestock, and its really unpleasant to suddenly become an equal to us. "But this is a decision made by the clan chiefs and elders, and we can''t disobey it." Xia En echoed: "There is still such a thing? It''s too much." "you do not say!" Murtagh sighed: "Fortunately, those people will be sent out of the secret realm after they are transformed." Otherwise, the thought of breathing the same air as them makes me feel sick! ?While he was complaining, thoughts quickly surged in Shane''s mind. ?This vampires words undoubtedly confirmed his previous conjecture The Secret Pathers who left before [Blood Moon Night], without exception, have all become members of the Vampire Clan! Only in this way can the truth of this scam be concealed time and time again. Not only that, Xia En also noticed the deeper meaning of this behavior. ??If the vampires just hunt down all explorers indiscriminately, it will obviously force them to unite and resist. ??But if you tell them that as long as they surrender and obey orders, they can find a way to survive, and even have a longer life and a stronger body... The price is just to draw the blood of the same kind. ?How will these people choose? The answer is clear at a glance. ?Those pirates who licked blood from their swords might even happily accept this gift. There is indeed a reason why this scam has continued for so many years without being exposed... Xia En sighed softly in his heart. Suddenly, he felt a line of sight falling on him. ?He immediately followed his feeling and saw the owner of that line of sight. A girl with short black hair and a petite figure was standing more than ten meters away. She was wearing a wide and slender black dress. She had a beautiful appearance and a pair of unique crimson eyes. The parts of the girl''s arms and legs that were exposed to the air were tightly wrapped in bandages, as if she was suffering from some special disease. The moment he saw that pretty face, Xia En couldn''t help but froze. Feiya? Why is he here? And...is it still this outfit? Xia En has not forgotten that Fei Ya was the first to remind him not to enter the Blood Moon Secret Realm. Why did he come by himself? Wait a minute, he is the young master of a prominent family on Silver Moon Island, and he knows the truth about the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] Xia En''s thoughts were wandering, and he quickly realized his identity as a vampire. On the other hand. ?Xia En was also keenly aware that Fei Ya seemed different from other vampires. Physical disabilitypastor of the Church of Steampenchant for alcohol When these elements are connected together, the truth is immediately apparent. A vampire who restrains his desires and doesnt drink blood? Then he came here, presumably because of... ??While Xia En was thinking this, with the sound of high heels hitting the floor, a mature and beautiful woman walked out of the center of the hall. Welcome to my castle. The banquet will begin soon, but before that Deirdre glanced at everyone present and said coldly. There is a heretic lurking among us! (End of this chapter) Chapter 90 Defeat the second-level secret path master! Chapter 90 Defeat the second-level secret path master! Deirdre had just finished speaking. Everyone was suddenly in an uproar. How dare heretics sneak into their sacred blood feast ceremony? In the crowd, Xia En''s first reaction was that he had been exposed. Although she doesnt know how she was exposed, the matron of the Falon family seems to have used a special secret method to detect her heretic who doesnt even have blood. Thinking of this, Shane sighed softly, put his hand on Murtagh''s shoulder, and was about to operate on him and activate the unparalleled mode. ?But before Xia En could take action, he heard a sigh not far away from the other side - I knew it would be like this ?The one who sighed was none other than Fei Ya, who was wearing a skirt. In the end, you still have to rely on your fists to do the talking. Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand into the wide hem of his skirt. Subsequently, he took out a huge, brass-colored mechanical firearm. The metallic luster, machinery and steel structure were all filled with the beauty of violence! Titan''s Grip! ??Moreover, this heavy weapon seemed to have been unreasonably modified the last time Bishan saw it. ?Its body became heavier and larger, and steam surged and flowed violently in the body. Instead of calling it a "gun", it might be more appropriate to call it a "heavy artillery"! ?At this moment, Xia En figured out why Fei Ya was wearing such a large dress. ?Only this kind of clothes can hide this giant weapon under the skirt! [Titan''s Grip] is obviously activated. Almost as soon as Feiya took it out, the surging steam heavy cannon fired at Deirdre in the crowd with exaggerated speed and power! boom! In the roar of steam. ?The four or five vampires on the way had no time to react. Their muscles were torn apart inch by inch by the high pressure, and they collapsed into a ball of blood mist on the spot. The sky was filled with crimson and exploded in jets. ?Seeing this, Deirdre''s eyes flashed with fear, and she retreated sharply. ?The shortcomings of this heavy weapon are also revealed - The range is too short! Above a certain distance, the power of high-pressure steam will rapidly decay. Obviously, Fei Ya originally wanted to use this killer weapon after getting close to the mistress, but unexpectedly, she was seen through in advance. After dodging the fatal bombardment, Deirdre did not hesitate and ordered: "Come here and kill this heretic!" Give her spirit and blood to the Scarlet Lord! Without her reminding, the other vampires immediately reacted and used their own methods to pounce on Fei Ya. At the same time, he did not forget to shout: "For the Scarlet Lord!" Fuck the Scarlet Lord! A bunch of bastards! What responded to them was Feiya''s curses and the roaring steam core on his body. ?The steam with sacred qualities instantly dispersed the bandages on his arms, legs and feet. Mili and Dutch cheered excitedly, delivering surging power to their master. Feiya raised her arms suddenly, raised the [Titan''s Grip], and swung the weapon like a sledgehammer. ??With a "bang", it hit the nearest vampire on the head. ?The sound of broken bones was heard, and the man''s head was completely smashed into the floor, and soon there was no movement. Subsequently, Fei Yas petite body tossed and turned among the vampires. Or use the iron fist to blow away the enemy. Or use your legs to kick the vampire''s body. The steam diffused from his body seems to have a restraining effect on the vampires, which can greatly slow down the healing of their bodies. It can even vaguely ignite the blood of vampires, so it makes them quite afraid. Obviously, this is the "sacred" properties of steam at work. But Xia En knew after two glances that Fei Ya''s defeat was only a matter of time. ?His combat prowess is considered outstanding among the first-level Mystics. Coupled with the various external equipment on his body, it is not impossible to compete with the second-level Mystics. However, there are more than ten vampires of the fifth level in the castle right now. Not to mention, there is Mother Falon, who is equivalent to a second-level mystic, sitting on the side! ?Perhaps this young man had some hidden tricks to sneak into this banquet alone. But Xia En didnt want to wait any longer. Tver, dont you want to rush forward and show off in front of the mistress? ?Murtagh was unaware of the danger and was still joking with Shane in the interest. In my opinion, that little girls blood is absolutely delicious! If you go up now, you might be able to share a cup simultaneously! next moment. Shaans right hand had already pierced Murtaghs heart. "Thank you for the reminder. Since you are so kind, why not... lend me your blood?" ??! ??As Murtagh''s eyes gradually became dull, Shane pulled out a scarlet blood sword from his chest. His body quickly became shriveled and pale, and he died. Since the attention of all the vampires was attracted by Fei Ya in the scene, almost no one noticed Xia En''s silent killing. ?Shaan simply held the **** sword and rushed directly to Deirdre in the center of the hall! ??During the last dive, it was the mistress of the Falon family who secretly attacked him and cut off his head with a **** thread, preventing him from even using the second stage. Lets settle old and new grudges together! Seeing his actions, the vampires nearby were stunned for a moment. Can''t tell whether it is an enemy or a friendly force. After all, Xia En carries [Dark Scarlet] in his hand, and the blood sword in his hand is also the signature ability of the vampire clan. It is very reasonable for him to protect the mistress. etc How come he went straight to his mistress! ? ??As Xia En accelerated, the vampires were suddenly startled and quickly noticed something unusual. Theres something wrong with that guy! Stop him quickly! At this moment, Deirdre also turned her head, with a mix of shock and anger on her beautiful face. "Stealing God-" She dare not believe it like a stormy wave. She clearly remembered that just last night, she killed the other party with her own hands. But now, why does this blasphemous God-thief appear here again? Before Deirdre could think any more, the **** sword in Shane''s hand split into several afterimages at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye and stabbed at her! The many shadows in the castle seemed to have become its assistance at this moment, integrating with the blood sword. The blood, light and shadow were entangled with each other, creating an indescribable and wonderful transformation. simultaneously! The sword light split the air, split the blood shield blocking the air, and split the delicate skin of Deirdre''s neck! As fast as light and shadow, it can kill everything! It seems that nothing can block the edge of this sword! Everyone only saw a red and black shadow flashing away, and Deirdre''s head fell down from her neck. Jueying Yijian! After Xia En''s various attributes soared again, the power of this sword has reached an unprecedented height. However, in the next moment. ?Countless thin blood lines drilled out from the headless body, quickly connected with the broken head of the fallen head, and pulled it back to the top of the neck. Granulations and tentacles spread out from the inside and began to move closer to each other and rejoin. ?After a period of uncomfortable growth and squirming, Deirdre''s body returned to its original shape, except for a wound on her neck that was still healing. Damn **** thief, do you think this can kill me? ?Her voice became hoarse and full of anger. At the same time, her body underwent strange changes. ?Her temperament quickly changed to a dark and cold direction, and the skin on her body continued to expand, contract, and deform, turning into blooming flowers of flesh and blood. The stamens are made up of numerous fine teeth and white bones, which are creepy just to look at. The blood turned into mist and wrapped around her like a dress. Different from yesterday''s battle, Deirdre showed a more powerful second form from the beginning. This shows that she attaches great importance to Xia En who "resurrected from the dead". [God Thief], tremble and fear! I will tear all your flesh to pieces! Shane just smiled at Deirdre''s declaration. Of course he didnt think he could kill the second-stage Mystic with one sword. But his purpose has been achieved. The blood sword with the characteristics of [Curse] and [Pollution] has already cut through Deirdre''s flesh and blood. As long as the damage is continued to increase, she can be taken down steadily. Xia En originally thought so. But looking at the increasingly alienated and ugly Deirdre in front of him, the fighting spirit rose in his heart. Isnt it the second stage? Who doesnt have the same thing? Just a thought. ?The power from the [Black Swan] was poured into Xia En''s body like a roaring wave. As he breathed, layers of illusory waves continued to take shape. ?These illusory waves are becoming more and more real, more and more weighty, and even gradually showing the impact and power of real waves! Listening to the sound of the waves, the expressions of all the vampires around him changed. They have only experienced this sense of oppression from fourth-class descendants like the Mistress! Furthermore, it was clear that the [God Thief] did not have such a strong aura yesterday. How come there has been such an exaggerated transformation in just one day? What doesnt kill me will only make me stronger. As if to answer their doubts, the man in the trench coat said in a deep voice. This time, its you who should escape! Subsequently, Xia En moved. ?He took a step forward and swept the **** sword in his hand. With just one sword strike, he chopped off the heads of several vampires. Immediately, the blood of these vampires also turned into part of the blood sword, turning it into a two-handed sword. ??It was a little too light just now and was not suitable for Xia En''s surge in strength. Now, it is barely usable. ?This move undoubtedly angered the mutated Deirdre. A large network of blood lines quickly spread from under her feet, trying to surround and strangle Xia En. Your speed is too slow! ?Shane strode forward and came to Deirdre, and the **** sword fell with a bang. ?All these movements were simple and unpretentious, without anything fancy, but Deirdre couldn''t dodge at all. The reason is simple, his speed is too fast! Deirdre raised her arm to block. There was almost no obstacle. Her hands and body were split in two by the blood sword! The overwhelming force is simply unstoppable. ??But after being split in half, Deirdre still didn''t die. ?Even from the split body, blood lines stronger than steel bars burst out one after another, and together with the large net on the ground, **** Xia En''s body like a hinge. ?What shocked Deirdre was that no matter how hard she tried, she could only leave white marks on the other person''s skin. I cant even break through his defense! Captain''s Majesty, first-level Captain, Communication Soul of the Ship, and long-term cultivation of the Black Swan...with the joint blessing of these factors. ?At this moment, Xia Ens attributes climbed to a new level. ?The purest speed, strength, and defense allow him to defeat the second-level Mystic Path! Monster...this guy is a monster! Deirdre screamed in fear: "How could it be possible to achieve this level with only the physical body..." But she knew that the other party would never let her go, so she was still making the final struggle. Ahhhh A high-pitched roar came from Deirdre''s mouth. ?The flesh and blood all over her body suddenly melted and disintegrated, turning into a huge and sticky blood mist, completely covering Xia En. Thanks to "Yue Guhe" for the 200-coin reward! Thank you so much! (End of this chapter) Chapter 91 [Blood Demonic Sword (Deirdre)] Chapter 91 [Blood Demonic Sword (Deirdre)] In the castle hall. ??As the thick blood mist dispersed and the ground shook, the elegant atmosphere that had been carefully decorated here disappeared. ?The vampires present all looked at the tall figure in the blood mist with inexplicable horror. Dont look at it, Shane and Deirdre have already fought several times. In fact, it all happened in a blink of an eye. From the moment Shane took action to Deirdre disintegrating into a mist of blood, it took less than half a minute in total. Many vampires are still concentrating on besieging Fei Ya, who is steaming all over. Looking back, he found that his mistress had turned into a ball of blood mist! Damn, whats with that power and speed? Is he really human? ?Amid the chaos, even Fei Ya, the igniter of the whole incident, couldn''t help showing a surprised expression. That guyis really not an ordinary person. ??Before Deirdre came forward, Fei Ya vaguely noticed that the figure was different from other vampires, so she couldn''t help but take a second look. He is actually the weird man in black yesterday? ??The noise caused by the mysterious man in black last night was not small, and it attracted the attention of almost half of the survivors and vampires in the city. It was because of his intervention that Fei Ya was able to take the opportunity to gather a group of survivors with considerable strength. ?Kefeiya also clearly remembered that under the encirclement and suppression of the vampires, the man in black was outnumbered and was eventually beheaded. Resurrection from the dead? Or other special abilities? What is the "God Thief" that the vampires call? Furthermore, after witnessing the battle just now, Feiya had an inexplicable sense of dj vu. It was like the opponent''s exaggerated physical fitness and simple and rough fighting style...where had he seen it before? Boom! ! Suddenly, a loud noise came from the other direction of the castle, interrupting Feiya''s thoughts. ?He suddenly beamed with joy and said in his heart: "It''s done!" ???Although Fei Ya has a straightforward temper, he is not a foolhardy man. He who came to the banquet hall was actually just a bait to attract the attention of the vampires. The remaining survivors are responsible for sneaking into the back door of the castle and rescuing the captives who have not yet been served to the table. At this point, Feiya should have retreated immediately and joined the other survivors. But looking at the figure in the blood mist, a bold idea came to his mind. ??Their group, together with this mysterious man of unknown origin, maybe...can wipe out all the vampires in this castle? Just as Feiya had this idea, she suddenly heard a harsh scream, faintly coming from high up. In my perception, there are two more powerful auras that are no less powerful than the mistress of the Falon family, and they are approaching quickly! No, the scream she just made was calling for the patriarchs of other families! Come so fast! Feiya''s complexion changed slightly, she took a deep look at the figure in the blood mist, and thought to herself. Friends, take care! Then, he quickly took advantage of the chaos and left the castle. the other side. Blood mist lingers. ?Countless roars, whispers, and murmurs, like living creatures, kept drilling into Xia En''s ears. ??Some of these voices are filled with anger and hatred, some are full of deceptive power, and some... are like some kind of pollution that has penetrated into the flesh and blood. After discovering that physical attacks were ineffective against Shane, Deirdre had no choice but to adopt another fighting method. How dare you force me to show such an ugly look... Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! I will drain all your blood and hang your body in front of the castle gate! An unusually wild, even unidentifiable roar sounded from the blood mist. Obviously, maintaining this form of blood mist also places a great burden on Deirdre, and may be rapidly eroding her rationality. If you can do it, go ahead and try it. ?Xia En just responded lightly. He could feel that the blood mist around him was eroding his body, trying to enter the body and contaminate the blood in the blood vessels. For ordinary people, such an infection must be extremely troublesome, and they may quickly lose control of their bodies. However, the projected body has no blood. Get rid of the [Ship Soul Power -0.01] that keeps appearing on the panel! Except for the reminder, this erosion has almost no effect. It''s like scratching an itch. As for the mental pollution in the blood mist... ?Shaan was on guard at first, but he soon discovered that apart from the fact that the noises were a bit noisy, they seemed to be of no use at all? Perhaps his mental resistance has increased with the improvement of the [Mysterious] attribute. Perhaps he has seen some more terrifying existences. Or some other reason... This kind of pollution, whether compared with the huge guys in the depths of [Secret Sea], the forbidden relics in [Ember Sanctuary], or the previous Scarlet Lord... is far behind! Even the side effects of [Hui Jiao Amulet] are incomparable. Xia En thought in a strange mood: "Is this the third form of the family matron?" ?However, due to the special nature of the blood mist state, Xia En''s physical attacks were difficult to take effect, and the two sides fell into a brief stalemate. ?But soon, the screams coming from high in the castle also attracted Xia En''s attention. Did you really call for reinforcements? Hahahaha... [God Thief], you are dead! ?Deirdre, who was also aware of this, laughed wildly. "No matter what means you have, if the three patriarchs take action together, there is only a miserable death waiting for you!" "Oh, really?" Then let me try this trick... Before he finished speaking, Xia En raised the **** sword with both hands. In an instant, a strange attraction spread from its surface and began to capture the blood-colored mist floating around. You, what are you doing!? Upon seeing this, Deirdre''s voice immediately contained strong disbelief and horror. Xia En chuckled and said, "I have discovered a long time ago that the quality of your blood is very good." Then, the weapons made from them must be very useful, right? The secret art of blood modeling! Under normal circumstances, it would certainly be difficult for Shane to directly control the blood of Deirdre, the matron of the family. But now, she has decomposed herself into the tiniest blood mist particles, her mental state is unstable, and her control over her body has been greatly weakened. And this became Xia Ens opportunity! ?Its not that he didnt do anything just now, but he was carefully sensing the state of the blood mist. Now is the time to take action! C The **** sword trembled violently. ?The suction force becomes more and more powerful, sucking out the surrounding viscous blood mist like a vortex. No, dont! Stop it! Please! As long as you stop, Im willing to give everything! Deirdre roared in fear. She felt that her life force and secret power were flowing away rapidly, all being violently plundered and poured into this big sword. ?This feeling is so terrible. It is like becoming a pig or sheep to be slaughtered, or a dish at a banquet. It cannot resist and can only be grabbed and enjoyed by the other party. And when ordinary people are treated as blood food, dont they have similar feelings? I will come and get everything you have. Xia En said calmly. ??He had no intention of stopping, but instead used all his strength to activate his talent [Blood Power] to speed up the absorption. ??As the blood mist blended into the great sword little by little, it gradually underwent a strange transformation, which originally looked a bit rough. The sword body and hilt became heavier and heavier. ??A unique scarlet luster appeared on the sword''s edge. A dark black line began to spread along the sword body from bottom to top, and flickered like breathing. Beyond the blood mist. Many vampires had no idea what was happening. I felt that the blood mist began to become lighter and lighter, the strange figure became clearer and clearer, and the breath became more and more terrifying. A somewhat ominous premonition hung over them. Could it be that...the mistress is going to lose? This, how is this possible? Fortunately, at this moment, two figures, one tall and one short, broke into the castle gate. He is the patriarch of the Sethis family and the Kaler family! Someone shouted in surprise. The territories of these two families are located near the Falon family, so they can come to support as soon as possible. The patriarch of the Sethis family, Dolan Sethis, is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a neat mustache. He said in a reproachful tone: "Deirdre is really going back to life. A perfectly good blood feast made her end up like this." ?The short young man next to him, Warren Kaler, was also a little dissatisfied. "After the matter is resolved, she will have to reward us with a batch of good blood food." "exactly." The two people sounded a little disinterested, and they were not worried about Deirdre''s safety. ??What these vampires are most proud of is their strong vitality. Even if you are seriously injured, even if your body is split into two, as long as you draw fresh blood, you can quickly heal as before. on the other hand. ?The arrogance and arrogance of the vampires are engraved in their blood. Even though Deirdre sent out a plea for help, they still felt a bit contemptuous in their hearts. However, after seeing the scene clearly, the two clan leaders were stunned. There was no trace of Deirdre in the hall, and the blood mist also dissipated. ?There, there was only a strange figure whose face could not be seen clearly. At his feet were the shriveled corpses of many vampires, with horror and fear still on their faces. In his hand was a weird big sword. The dark red sword body seems to be made of blood, but it is extremely solid and heavy. On the blade of the sword, blood and dark lines were constantly squirming and flowing, and seemed to be whining and roaring. It is obvious that this sword is alive. ??Moreover, it seems that a soul is imprisoned in it, and it will never be released for eternity. [The God Thief]? Shouldnt he be dead? Dolan was horrified: "This sword? Could Deirdre..." He didn''t have time to think too much, but the figure had already strode forward with unstoppable power and struck his head with a sword! (End of this chapter) Chapter 92 Ship spirit level LV3! (Please read! Please subscribe!) Chapter 92 Ship Soul Level LV3! (Please read! Please subscribe!) (Two in one plus more updates!) In a neighborhood not far from the castle. Quick, quick, go this way! Bring the steam ball to avoid being tracked by the vampires! Feiya stood in the crowd, directing the survivors to evacuate in an orderly manner. ??Randy, who was covered in sweat, helped him by his side, and looked in the direction of the castle from time to time, with a look of caution and confusion. Strange...why didnt they catch up? Moreover, are those two people just now the patriarchs of other families? Hearing this, Feiya said, "It was the men in black who held them back yesterday." Huh? Hes still alive!? ?Randy was a little surprised. The mysterious man in black was his savior, and he seemed to have some kind of deep enmity with the vampires. This man is still alive, which is undoubtedly good news. ??But Fei Ya showed a complicated expression: "Although he is very strong, but against three vampires at the level of patriarchs, I''m afraid..." Before he could finish his words, a heavy sound of metal and stone chiming came from the castle. ?Its penetrating power is so strong that it can be heard in neighborhoods with a radius of hundreds of meters. "This is?" Hearing this sound, many survivors stopped slightly and couldn''t help but glance in the direction of the castle. Just this glance made them see a scene they would never forget. ??Under the blood moon, a stunning black and red sword light was intertwined, like a crescent moon, cutting straight out from the inside of the castle. ?At this moment, the brilliance of the sword light seemed to be brighter and dazzling than the blood moon in the night! After a short period of silence. The upper part of the castle slowly fell downwards from the gap opened by the sword light. ??Rumble The pointed building crashed to the ground. The earth shook and smoke and dust flew everywhere. Then, three figures rushed out from above the castle. Their movements were so fast that the survivors below could not see clearly. They could only barely make out a black shadow and two blood shadows. And in the hands of the black shadow, it seems to be holding an astonishingly large sword! Dang! clang! clang! ?In the horrified eyes of the people, the three figures turned into three streams of light, constantly colliding, confronting, and entangled. The terrifying mysterious power surged around them. Even from such a distance, the survivors could imagine the intensity of the battle. ??Fei Ya''s vision was also a little dull. Because, he saw that even if there were one against two, the black figure holding the giant sword still had the upper hand! ?Every move of that man showed pure violence. He simply slashed and swept, forcing the two blood shadows to flee in panic, or use other means to fight. What a powerful body And that big sword, it seems to have a restraining effect on the vampires? But last time I saw him, why wasnt he so strong? Could it be that he was in a state of squeezing his potential? Fei Yas guess is right. ?After a violent crushing, the speed of the black shadow suddenly slowed down, and the power displayed was not as good as before. ??The two vampire clan leaders were immediately overjoyed and accelerated the pace of the attack, causing the black shadow to be restrained everywhere and injured many times. Seeing this, Fei Ya sighed softly, feeling a little regretful in his heart. But at this moment, the dark shadow high up laughed. This time, you won, but so what? Tomorrow night, I will return like lightning. "Um?" Feiya was shocked and confused, but before he could figure out the meaning of these words. A ball of extremely blazing light suddenly bloomed with the black shadow as the center. ?Although the radiance is different from the heat of steam, it also has extremely obvious "divine" attributes. The two vampire clan leaders who bore the brunt immediately let out extremely shrill screams, and their bodies burned with pure white flames, and then they fell from the mid-air. But after the light dissipated, the black shadow also disappeared. Fei Ya and others felt disappointed, but a trace of incredible hope arose in their hearts. "Perhaps... he will really come back tomorrow?" Submarine is over! Please choose your trophy! 1.Blood Demonic Sword (Deirdre) 2.Bloodstone Fragments 3.The right hand of Dolan Sethus ?In the captain''s cabin, Xia En took a long breath, and there still seemed to be some indescribable murmurs and murmurs remaining in his ears. ??This is of course not Deirdre''s influence, but the symptoms left behind after being driven out by the Scarlet Lord again after using the [Hui Cult Amulet]. ??But I dont know if it was Xia Ens misunderstanding, but the symptoms this time seemed to be much milder than last time. Is it possible that you can get used to this thing? ?Xia En complained secretly, and then reviewed the previous battle process. Sure enough, is it still a bit too much to fight against two second-level Mystics alone? have to say. ??Its really not easy to kill creatures like vampires. Especially for vampires of the fourth level and above, they cannot be killed by beheading or stabbing the heart. Then the two clan leaders were forced to wait until the end of the "second stage" and luckily survived. However, with one against three, one was killed and two were seriously injured, and a lot of ship soul experience was gained. This wave has already been profitable! Deirdre is indeed a stage BOSS, and the ship soul experience given to her is extremely rich, with a full 10%, which is completely worthy of her strength. ?Shan En then glanced at the panel and decisively selected option 1 as the trophy. Blood Demonic Sword (Deirdre) ?Quality: Rare Type: Weapon Description: A great sword made from the blood of Deirdre, the mistress of the Fallon family. Effect 1: Permanence - Since Deirdre''s soul is imprisoned in it, it can exist permanently before the soul dissipates. Effect 2: Drinking blood - When the enemy is cut, the blood will be automatically drawn from it. Effect 3: Curse Contamination - When harming a creature with blood, Deirdre''s hatred and madness will be injected into the opponent''s body in the form of a curse. This effect is doubled for vampires. Note: Will continuing to devour the souls of vampires make this magic sword more powerful? The best little thing! ?Xia Ens eyes lit up slightly after reading the description of the weapon. He originally thought that this weapon would be just a disposable item like other [Blood Swords], but he didnt expect that it could be brought out of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]! Xia En is quite satisfied with the fact that it can continue to grow. With this, wouldnt it be possible to kill the vampires with twice the result with half the effort? Take a rest and fight again tomorrow! After a night of fighting, Xia En was somewhat tired. After a brief wash, he lay on the bed and quickly fell into sleep. More than half a month has passed by in a blink of an eye. ?In the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], a strange legend about the [Shadow of the Faceless] appeared at some point. Whenever the blood moon rises, there will be a strange figure wearing a trench coat and holding a big sword, wandering in the old city. He will step out from the shadows of no one and mercilessly chop off the heads of the vampires. It is said that the souls of the vampires whose heads were cut off by him will be imprisoned in the **** sword and become one of its miserable sacrifices. ??Each clan chief also sent a large number of men to encircle and suppress them. But what frightened them was that even if they paid a huge price and succeeded in killing this man, he would appear again when the next blood moon rises. Like an immortal ghost wandering in the city! It is precisely because of this and the fact that his face is hidden in the shadows that his true face cannot be seen, that he is called the "faceless shadow". Some weaker vampires are more accustomed to calling him - Shameless murderer! ?Just in this half month, more vampires died in the secret realm than in the past few years combined! But the nightmare of the vampires is undoubtedly the gospel of the outsiders. Many people who went to explore the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] survived or got a short respite because of [Shadow of the Faceless]. at the same time. An organization named [Blood Hunting Society] appeared in the secret realm. They are composed of survivors trapped here. With the goal of hunting vampires and saving other explorers, they continue to recruit people and expand their power. Even many second-level Mystics among the three major pirate groups have joined the [Blood Hunter Guild]. Under the guerrilla strategy, the [Blood Hunting Society] has indeed brought a lot of trouble to the Vampires. At this moment. In an ancient mansion where the **** moon cannot shine. Feiya looked pious and placed her right hand made of a steam device on the shoulder of an injured person. May the steam protect you. ?As the sacred steam dispersed, the filthy blood was gradually squeezed out of the injured person''s wounds and evaporated with the steam. The pain on his face was relieved, and the scarlet in his eyes quickly dissipated. Praise to the God of Steam and Steel. ??The injured person said: "Thank you, Mr. Feiya." Its just a matter of hands. Feiya smiled and called the next injured person. In fact, the most difficult method for the Vampires is the ability to control and contaminate blood. After being injured, some secret travelers may even experience temporary loss of control of their blood and cardiac arrest. What''s more, they may be contaminated and become blood slaves! General treatment methods cannot cure this injury. Fortunately, the sacred steam happens to be the nemesis of "turbid blood". It is precisely with the help of Fei Ya that the [Blood Hunting Society] can persist to this day with great resilience. Miss Feiya, is she an angel? Not far away, Randy looked at Fei Ya, who was healing the injured one by one and seemed to be emitting holy light. He couldn''t help but show admiration and admiration. The [Blood Hunting Club] member next to him had a strange expression: "Didn''t Mr. Fei Ya say that he is a man a long time ago? Why do you still call him Miss?" "I do not believe!" Randy vowed: "It must be Miss Feiya''s lie to protect herself." "you are hopeless." ?At this moment, a rustling sound came from outside the house, mixed with some low-pitched roars and roars. ?Everyones expressions changed immediately. Feiya stood up directly, lifted the [Titan''s Grip] beside her, and said loudly: "The blood slave is here! Get ready to fight!" ?Randy cursed in a low voice: "Damn, why is it so fast this time?" ? Fei Yas beautiful eyes were full of emotions. ?These few times, the vampires came to the door obviously much faster than before. He could guess the reason behind this. ?After the [Blood Hunting Club] continued to grow, its members were mixed, good and bad, and perhaps some of them had secretly turned to the Vampires. ?The group of people quickly ran out of the shelter, planning to fight and retreat with the vampires. But suddenly I heard a vampire shouting in fear. Hes coming! Run away! Before he finished speaking, the blood slaves and vampires around him fled in panic. ?However, their movements were still a little slower. The next moment, a **** sword light slashed down from a high place! Boom! Several vampire heads flew into the air, and the headless bodies fell down like wheat. A large number of blood slaves were directly crushed into pulp. Under the **** moonlight, the black windbreaker rustled. ??The figure holding a big sword looked at Fei Ya, then passed through the house without stopping, and quickly disappeared into the night. Thank you, Shameless Shadow. Feiya said softly in her heart. Although he has never communicated with each other these days, the [Blood Hunting Society] and the [Shadowless Shadow] have maintained a tacit alliance with each other. Not only will the [Shadowless Shadow] come to their rescue, they will also work hard to share the attention of the Vampires. Or take advantage of the [Shadowless Shadow] to lure away the strong ones among the Vampires, and launch sneak attacks on some Vampire strongholds. ?Even though we have never met before, we feel like we have known each other for a long time. the other side. Xia En didnt know what Fei Ya was thinking. ??He kept moving, turning into a meteor, catching up with a fleeing vampire, casually cutting off the opponent''s head, and decisively choosing to absorb it. Ship Soul Experience +1% Seeing this line of text, Xia En''s face showed a look of ecstasy. Finally...the day has come! After playing the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] dungeon for so long, its time to reap the rewards! ?Familiar cold secret power poured into the body, Xiao Hei''s cheers sounded loudly, and the ancient mysterious waves roared loudly. Ship Soul Level: LV3 (0%)! Requesting a wave of monthly tickets and follow-up subscriptions! (End of this chapter) Chapter 93 New talent, the gaze of the Scarlet Lord! Chapter 93 New talent, the gaze of the Scarlet Lord! Black Swan''s "Firepower" +2! Speed+2! "Strong" +2! ?"Mystery" +2! ??The magical secret power similar to the last time the ship soul was upgraded flows in Xia En''s body. From the [Eye of the Secret Sea] in the mind, it spreads to every corner of the body, down to the most peripheral nerves and pores. In a daze, Xia En even saw some indescribable water lights and ripples inside his body. ?However, the small improvement in all attributes is only a bonus when the ship soul is upgraded. What Xia En is really looking forward to are the new talents that will be unlocked after the Ship Soul is upgraded! Soon, as the wave of secret power washed away, a pitch-black mini ship sculpture gradually formed in his mind. From a morphological point of view, it obviously looks like the [Black Swan]. ?Shaan put his mind on it, and several lines of information emerged. Unlock talent: Submersible Anchor Quality: Epic Description: The sub-talent of "Deep Sea Diving", which can establish an "anchor" in the ocean. Each subsequent dive, you can choose between the "anchor" sea area and the current location for long-distance projection. Note: The number of anchor points in the current world (0/1) After confirming the "anchor point", it will take one month to change it. Anchor point is the key to avoid getting lost. The anchor point of the ship is important, but please dont forget to confirm the anchor point of humanity. "this?" After reading these descriptions, a flash of surprise flashed in Xia En''s eyes. Sure enough, its another epic talent! And, set up an anchor point and submerge at a long distance?! ?This talent of [Submarine Anchor Point] is not unpractical. Under normal conditions, [Deep Sea Diving] can only project under the sea surface at the current position of the ship. ?This means that Shane''s [Black Swan] must be anchored in this sea area, and it is constrained in place in disguise. With the [Submarine Anchor Point], Xia En can move deeper into the sea while exploring the underwater ruins that still have remaining value. Sail and explore at the same time! ?Furthermore, he can make full use of the time he spent docking on the island to resupply, and will not waste it. What does it mean to be a time management master! ??Xia En could hardly stop smiling, he thought to himself. When the [Blood Moon Night] is over, we will go to the [Coral City] to set up an anchor point. This can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to the queen. ?Shaan is very satisfied with this new talent. The only regret is that this talent did not directly improve his combat power. More like a functional, auxiliary talent. Speaking of which, the talents unlocked by increasing the level of Ship Soul seem to be more inclined to strengthen the sailing and submersible functions. The same is true for the previous [Ship Soul Synchronization]. If you want to achieve a dramatic improvement in combat power, you still have to rely on the promotion of secret professions. ?Shaan thought casually for a moment, opened the panel, and briefly examined his current status. Ship Spirit Level: LV3 (0%) Attributes: Firepower 22, Speed ??27, Solidity 25, Mystery 28 Talent: Blood Power (Precious); Submersible Anchor (Epic)... Status: Crimson Enemy (Epic); Faceless Shadow (Rare); Sea Tribe''s Worship (Rare) Compared with more than half a month, Xia En''s attributes have improved to a certain extent. The four-dimensional attributes have all exceeded 20, and the [Speed] and [Mystery] attributes are approaching the 30 mark. But to be honest, this increase is actually not that big. Excluding the attributes brought by the just upgrade, each attribute actually only increased by two or three points on average. ?This is not because Xia En is not active in spawning monsters, but because the attributes dropped in [Secret Sea Crystal] are greatly reduced. When he first started diving, he would occasionally gain attributes by killing a mutated sea beast. but now Unless you kill a strong person in the Vampire family, your attributes will rarely be increased. Xia En guessed that this was because his own attributes were far superior to those of these vampires. The secret power in their bodies naturally cannot bring much improvement to him. Just like giving a hundred yuan to a poor beggar, it may improve his quality of life within a few days. But giving it to a rich man who is already rich will hardly change anything. If you want to level up quickly, you still have to challenge higher-level dungeons and stronger enemies! ?Xia En sighed in his heart. The changes on the panel, as well as the power of blood changing into [precious] quality. Newly added status [Shadow without Appearance] ?This is more like a "title", which has no great use other than making the Vampires run away in terror when they see him. What makes Xia En a little difficult is the [Epic] quality [Scarlet Enemy]. Scarlet Enemy Description: You are extremely hated by the Scarlet Lord! The vampires in "Blood Moon Secret Realm" have regarded you as a must-kill enemy! If you want to kill you, then hurry up! Please be careful, they seem to be planning a trap for you! From the words "extreme" and "must kill", Xia En could feel a deep sense of hatred. "Alas...didn''t I just kill one or two more vampires in self-defense?" "Are you so angry?" Xia En sighed softly, feeling that these vampires were not very sensible. ?However, the last sentence in the description also made him a little concerned. In the past, once Xia En was discovered in the secret realm, the vampires would send a large number of elites to encircle and suppress him. But in recent days, the vampires have changed their strategies and even begun to avoid the trajectory of his actions. ?This is like making a nest, but the fish doesn''t come near. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! They must be preparing something. ??Xia En frowned slightly, but decided to follow the original pace and use [Blood Sense] to search for nearby vampires. But the next moment, his expression changed. In his perception, several extremely powerful auras suddenly appeared in the nearby blocks. The weakest among them has the strength of a second-level secret path user. The aura of the person headed by him is even more unfathomable, as if he is infinitely close to a third-level secret pather! ?They seemed to have used some special secret method to hide their own blood aura. It wasn''t until they got close enough that they suddenly broke away from the disguise. [Shameless Shadow], we meet again. From the shadows in the corner, a tall, thin man with a beard walked out. ?His right hand was missing, and there was strong resentment on his face. It is Dolan, the patriarch of the Sethis family. In the battle that day, his right hand was cut off by Xia En''s sword. Normally, Dolan only needs to drink blood to quickly grow his right hand back. Perhaps it was the curse effect of the [Blood Demonic Sword] and the final detonation of the [Hui Cult Talisman] that caused his injuries to still be healed. Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Mr. Dolan, the defeated general. Xia En said calmly: "You are all here this time. Who plans to be the first to come up and die?" He looked around and saw several familiar figures. Doran Sethis, Varun Kale...and other heads of the Blood Family. ?During this period of time, these patriarchal figures naturally attacked Xia En more than once. Some were successful and some were not. But regardless of the outcome, they paid a heavy price. So he was both afraid of and hated Xia En. In fact. ??If it were just these clan leaders who took action together, Xia En wouldn''t find it very difficult. At worst, the life of the projected body would be given to them. ??If you can inflict a little more damage before dying, you will gain enough blood. But at this time, Xia En was keenly aware... The situation this time seems to be a little different. Haha, my appearanceless shadow, your arrogance ends here. Dolan sneered and said, "Everyone, let''s do it together!" As soon as he finished speaking, he made a strange handprint in his hand, and at the same time he began to murmur some ancient and mysterious language. Not only Dolan, but all the nearby blood clan leaders also made similar actions. Several dark red lines appeared under their feet, and they connected together at extremely fast speeds. In an instant, a **** magic circle appeared at Xia En''s feet. ?Xia En did not hesitate and stepped on the ground in an attempt to escape from the circle. But at this moment. On the blood moon in the sky, an eye suddenly opened! ?That was the Scarlet Lord casting his gaze! ??The **** moonlight around Xia En seemed to have turned into countless threads that imprisoned and blocked him. The huge gravity pressed down on his whole body, making him unable to move. Dolan and others suddenly looked happy and said in unison. The Scarlet Lord, in the name of our clan leaders, banish this man forever! Farewell, formless shadow! ??The blood in their bodies burst out with strange power, gathering together to form a **** mark on Xia En''s body. Suddenly, a dark crack opened under Xia En''s feet, emitting a strong suction force, dragging him into it! Not long after, this strange figure completely disappeared from everyones eyes. The faces of the vampire clan leaders were all a little pale. It was obvious that the secret technique just consumed a lot of secret power. But their expressions were quite happy, and smiles appeared at the corners of their mouths unconsciously. Finally, this scourge has been sent away! Dolan let out a long breath, and even felt like tears were filling his eyes. ?After Deirdre was killed, the territory that the Faceless Shadow invaded most often was the territory of their Sethis family, and countless descendants were killed or wounded. Being able to banish the [Shadowless Shadow] now undoubtedly made him feel bad. With the imprint of our bloodline, he will never be able to enter the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] again. ??Warren sighed: "This was originally a method to deal with the powerful federation, but I didn''t expect it to be used on this monster first." "but" After hesitating for a moment, Warren asked: "Will he really be trapped in the place of exile?" "rest assured." The leader of the clan smiled confidently: "The place of exile is full of undead monsters like him." Eternal fighting without a moment of peace, isnt this a punishment more cruel than death? at the same time. In a completely unfamiliar place. Shaan opened his eyes. (End of this chapter) Chapter 94 The true boundary of the secret realm, the opportunity to advance to the second level! Chapter 94 The real boundary of the secret realm, the opportunity to advance to the second level! The moment of waking up. ?Shaans first reaction was not to observe the surrounding environment, but to return his consciousness to his original body. After confirming that he could still wake up at any time in the captain''s cabin, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief. I thought it was so powerful, but it just drove my projection body out. There is a new status on his panel. Exile Brand Type: Status Quality: Ordinary Description: The brand jointly imposed by the blood clan chiefs in the "Blood Moon Secret Realm" carries the will of the Scarlet Lord. Until this state is lifted, you can no longer enter the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Sure enough, we still made them anxious... Xia En sighed in his heart. In fact, before this, the vampires had tried to restrict his movements by sealing and imprisoning him. But due to the special mechanism of the projection body, none of their methods were effective. But this time, the vampires were smart and expelled the projection body directly. Full interpretation of "If I can''t afford to offend, can I not afford to hide?" ?This [Exile Brand] is obviously using mechanism against mechanism to forcibly isolate Xia En from [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. I have to say that this is actually a very correct choice. For a moment, Xia En really didnt know how to remove this mark. Fortunately, in terms of mechanism, he is still better after all. At worst, Ill give up exploring the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], leave Silver Moon Island, and continue development elsewhere. After confirming that he could still advance or retreat, Xia En began to look around. So, where is this place? ??This is a dark space that is far different from the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. The surrounding light is extremely dim, and we dont know where the light source comes from. ?However, this is not a big deal to Xia En, who has [Ateless Touch]. But after seeing the scene around him clearly, he couldn''t help but frown slightly. From the point of view, there is a desolate and vast dark plain. There is nothing on the nearby plain, except for giant trees standing in very far distance. Creak ?Xia En took a step forward, and there was a very disgusting feeling under his feet. ? He ??looked down and saw that the "soil" under his feet was dark red in color, as sticky and slippery as mud. Appears dirty and weird. What a disgusting thing, and it seems to be alive? Just as Xia En came up with this idea, an uncomfortable squirming sound sounded from beside him. He turned his head and saw an shapeless monster emerging from the dark red ground! ?It looks like an amorphous mass of red and black mud, but the center of the mud is constantly squirming, changing into a reluctant human shape. It''s like...it''s parodying the human form, but it can''t become a real human. New monster? ?Xia En was a little surprised at first, and then his eyes lit up. ??If the monsters here can also give ship soul experience, wouldn''t it be just what he wants? Experience, where should I brush it? ?Thinking of this, Xia En immediately pulled out the [Blood Demonic Sword] from his back. Compared with more than half a month ago, this **** sword has changed a lot. The most obvious thing is that the dark lines on the sword have increased from one to more than ten! ??Lines of varying thickness, like blood vessels, are distributed on the sword, and are still squirming and trembling. This is exactly the transformation that occurs after absorbing the souls and blood of the vampires. The name of this weapon has also become [Blood Sword (Deirdre, Ezir, Tivan...)] ??A strong aura of evil and malice lingers around the dark red sword body, making people shudder just by looking at it. From this perspective. ??It seems natural that Xia En would get such a weird nickname like "Shadow without Appearance". At this time, he drew his sword and slashed at the mud monster. simultaneously! ?That ugly head fell to the ground. ??The mud monster trembled, fell down, and quickly merged into the dark red soil. "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows. This battle process seems a bit too easy. But at the same time, there is neither a display of killing monsters nor an option to absorb [Secret Sea Crystal] on the panel. "How is this going?" Is it because there is no [Secret Sea Crystal] in its body, or...it is not dead? ??Xia En tried to touch the remaining "mud" on the ground with his hand. Desecrate flesh and blood Type: Material Quality: Ordinary Description: The residue left after the digestion of "Crimson Ancient Tree". Affected by the mysterious power in the "Secret Sea", the remaining soul and power in the flesh and blood are awakened. It will not die completely, nor will new life be born, and becomes a real blasphemy. ]????Flesh and blood, wailing... Its [Crimson Ancient Tree] again? ?Xia En frowned and thought. It is known that [Blood Stone] is the secretion of [Crimson Ancient Tree] after absorbing blood. Desecration of flesh and bloodis the waste after digestion. It means that although this mysterious space is not in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], it may not be too far away. What concerns Xia En even more is the influence of the power of the [Secret Sea] in the description. "Since the power of the secret sea can penetrate here..." Wait, is this here? ?Shaan suddenly raised his head and looked at the "sky" in this space. ??The "sky" here is obviously much lower than in [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. The shocking thing is This sky is broken! Some cracks that cannot be described in words but are real exist all over the chaotic and dark sky. Some bright lights and shadows and flickering turbulence are quietly seeping out from the cracks, turning into a weak light source here. Seeing this scene, Xia En felt like **** in his heart. Obviously, there is the [Secret Sea]! Furthermore, the situation is slightly different from the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. This space is obviously closer and more closely related to the [Secret Sea]. ?During the exploration of the front-end time, Xia En also deliberately went to the boundary of the city to take a look, trying to see if he could enter the [Secret Sea] in reverse direction. The final answer is no. When he is at the city boundary, he will feel an extremely strong resistance. It seems that the [Secret Sea] is right in front of you, but it seems to be separated by an invisible "film" and "barrier". It is not only a protective umbrella against the intrusion of the [Secret Sea] power, but also hinders the departure of insiders. But in this space, Xia En seemed to be unable to sense the existence of the "barrier", and even had the illusion that he could break through the sky and leave. A place closer to the secret sea than the secret realm... ?Xia En already has a guess in his mind, but it still needs to be verified. He looked at the shadowy trees in the distance and thought: "Could those tree-like entities be the so-called [Crimson Ancient Trees]?" I dont know why, when I was looking at the shadows of those trees. ?Xia En had an inexplicable urge to get close and watch. ?This impulse is subtly similar to the call he heard when he was promoted to first-class captain. Suddenly, an idea popped into Xia En''s mind. The most critical step for a Mystic Pathfinder to advance is to be inspired by the Mystic Sea. But this feeling is often mysterious and mysterious, and you need to use magic potions to enhance your inspiration to experience it. "But now...I am in a place that is infinitely close to the secret sea. If I call the secret sea in turn and approach it, will it respond?" ?The boldness of this idea is no less than that of "the secret sea is also a sea and can also be submerged". But anyway, Xia En is the body of projection. Since you wont die even if you try to die, why dont you dare to give it a try? ??If you can touch the second-level promotion ritual, it is worth taking some risks! Xia En visually measured the height of the sky and confirmed that he could not jump that high, and he had not mastered the ability to turn blood into wings to fly. He decisively moved towards the shadows of those extremely tall trees. ?Those "trees" are so astonishingly tall that they seem to be inserted into the sky. If you climb up along them, you will probably be able to touch the broken sky. ?Coupled with the suspected identity of [Crimson Ancient Tree], go and explore it, I think you will gain something. ??However, as soon as Xia En started to move, there was that disgusting squirming sound around him. The dark red mud, which did not contain any biological tissue, began to stand up twistedly from the ground, stretched out its human-like arms, and walked towards Xia En slowly but resolutely. Could this thing be voice-controlled? Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he secretly complained. ??It''s okay if he doesn''t move, but once he moves, he will attract the attention of [Desecrating Flesh and Blood]. In just a moment, several mud monsters appeared around Xia En. It seems... a quick decision must be made! ??Xia En held a big sword and ran wildly in the direction of the tree shadow, sweeping away the mud monsters along the way. In fact, the strength of this monster alone is not very strong, and its movement can even be described as "slow". But the problem is The plain of this space is covered with such a layer of [blasphemous flesh and blood]! At first, only a few scattered monsters stood up and surrounded Xia En. But soon, the whole land began to slowly rise and fall! Boom! ?With a roar, the surging speed of the flesh and blood mud suddenly accelerated, a large number of bubbles continued to surge, and an indescribable whine echoed across the flesh and blood plain. Immediately afterwards, a three-meter-tall flesh and blood giant stood up out of thin air and strode towards Xia En in front of him. Xia En turned around and swept across with his sword! ??The flesh and blood giant was cut in half, and the upper half of his body crashed to the ground. But immediately, another five-meter-tall mud monster stood in front of him. ?Seeing this scene, even Xia En couldn''t help but his eyelids twitched slightly. Just like the description of [Desecrating Flesh and Blood], the monsters here cannot be killed! He simply ignored the mud monsters appearing around him and ran at full speed across the plain of flesh and blood. I dont know how long it has been. Chased by countless monsters, Xia En''s ship soul power fell rapidly. But before the projected body completely dissipated, he still saw the true appearance of those "tree shadows"! (End of this chapter) Chapter 95 The truth about [Blood Moon Secret Realm] The truth about Chapter 95 [Blood Moon Secret Realm] Under a sky full of cracks. ?Countless sludge giants are endlessly changing and squirming, rising and falling like waves. But the target they were chasing was an extremely small figure. simultaneously! The **** sword light flashed in the darkness. ??A ten-meter-tall flesh and blood giant, its legs were completely broken. After losing support, its huge body fell down. ?After clearing the obstacles in front of him, Xia En raised his head and looked not far away, but his pupils could not help but shrink. ??On the plain of flesh and blood there, there was a hill made of corpses. Among them, there are blood slaves with deformed bodies, vampires with pale faces, and burly pirates... Besides them, there are also a lot of people in the mountain of corpses who look like ordinary civilians wearing simple clothes. "they are?" Xia En''s heart jumped suddenly, and something suddenly occurred to him. The main body of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is a city. ??Although the number of vampires in the city is quite large, it is obviously far less than the city''s supposed population. The empty and abandoned low-rise houses in the city undoubtedly prove this point. So, where have the original owners of these houses, or in other words, the common people of this city, gone? Xia En originally thought that they had all become the blood food of the vampire clan. But now it seems that its not just that? ?The corpses not far away, without exception, all look pale and shriveled, reminiscent of insect corpses that have been injected with digestive juices by spiders and then sucked clean. To be precise, it is just a fragile empty shell. ??And in the center of the mountain where the empty shells are piled up, there is a tall and weird "tree." Its skin is dark red and very rough, like the veins of blood vessels pulsing slightly on it, as if it is transporting some mysterious nutrients. It is said to be a "tree", but it does not have any leaves and its surface is bare. ??Only numerous whisker-like "branches" extend from the main trunk. ?At the end of each "branch", there are one or two relatively fresh corpses hanging there, hanging there like heavy fruits. Once "mature", it will fall to the ground and become one of those empty shells. Is this the trunk of the [Crimson Ancient Tree]? "No, it''s more like... some kind of organ used to absorb nutrients." ?Xia En speeded up again, avoiding the siege of several flesh and blood giants, came to the side of the "tree", and gently reached out to touch it. Roots of an ancient crimson tree Type: Material Quality: Epic Description: The roots of the crimson ancient tree buried deep in the secret realm. Absorbing the power of flesh, blood and the secret sea all day long, in order to maintain the existence of the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Legend has it that the original "Crimson Mother Tree" gave birth to the earliest vampire - the Scarlet Lord. ??Therefore, the "Crimson Ancient Tree", the descendant of the "Crimson Mother Tree", has always been worshiped as a holy tree by the Vampires. This ancient tree has possessed powerful mysterious power since ancient times. If you sacrifice a lot of flesh and blood to it, can you even hide in the gap between the "secret sea" and reality? Is it really a root Xia En''s heart was shaken, and at the same time, enlightenment arose in his heart. The information in this description completely connects all the previous clues! Since the vampires need the blood stone secreted by the [Crimson Ancient Tree] as food, why would they place its trunk in this exiled land? The roots... are obviously buried deep underground. In combination with information such as the gathering place of a large amount of waste that is extremely close to the [Secret Sea]. The truth is already coming out This space is located on the backside of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]! You can reach this place deep underground in the city, across an extremely long distance! The Vampires use a special method to continuously throw corpses here to "fertilize" the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. The waste materials and empty shells after being drained are accumulated here generation after generation, and under the influence of the [Secret Sea], they become [blasphemous flesh and blood]. It is precisely because of this layer of [blasphemy of flesh and blood] as a barrier. Even if the membrane that isolates the [Secret Sea] cracks, or even becomes thinner and disappears, the Vampires will not be too concerned. After all, nothing that happens in this exile will affect their life on the surface. Actually, Xia En had made some guesses before. Just because of the reversal of gravity, I still had doubts for the moment. There are also... crimson ancient trees... sacrificing flesh and blood... hiding in the cracks..." ?Shaan looked at the empty shells of those suspected civilians and confirmed another thing. When the "Great Flood" came, different kingdoms and cities used different methods to continue the fire of civilization. This group of vampires held a grand **** ceremony and sacrificed all the civilians in the city. Then the entire city sank into the [Secret Sea] and turned into a [Secret Realm] isolated from the world. As time goes by, some vampires leave the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and thrive on Silver Moon Island. Either because they dont want to leave their homeland, or because the environment here is more suitable for the vampires to survive, or for some other reason There are still a large number of vampires living in the [Secret Realm] and are unwilling to leave. In order to meet their survival needs, it is also to maintain the existence of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. ?The vampires who were the first to leave made up the lie of "Blood Moon Night" to attract treasure hunters on the sea to fall into their trap. This should be the whole truth ?Xia En''s thoughts were swirling in his mind, silently digesting this shocking secret. ?However, compared to these truths. What he cares more about is whether his previous bold idea can succeed? Xia En looked at the thickest and tallest root in front of him. Its end had submerged into the broken sky and was vaguely connected to the [Secret Sea] outside. ? Will this root contain the power of the [Secret Sea]? ?The faint attraction in my intuition seems to confirm this. ?But on the other hand, this [Crimson Ancient Tree] looks very powerful, so Im afraid its not that easy to offend. Give it a try! Give it a try and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle! Without hesitation for long, Xia En gritted his teeth, picked up the big sword and slashed hard at the tendril. Dang! The roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] are unusually hard, and a sound like the sound of metal and stone can be heard. ??Xia En''s sword, which was enough to cut open the flesh and blood giant''s body, only left a shallow wound on its surface, from which a drop of deep, viscous blood oozed. Good guy, hes so hard! Just as Xia En was feeling emotional, an extremely angry roar sounded in his mind. ?This roar was timeless and ancient, with a shocking power that made Xia En even feel terrified. Immediately, the root began to tremble violently, and the strange secret power expanded outward. next moment. ??The empty corpses that were lying around the roots suddenly opened their eyes. ?Those chaotic scarlet eyes are filled with madness and chaos! The sticky and dirty [blasphemous flesh] crazily poured into their bodies, giving them a new vitality and vitality. ?At the same time, more flesh and blood giants are rising from the ground around the roots. ?They squirmed, flowed, and gathered together, making a sickening murmur, and finally gathered into a figure tens of meters high, and strode over. The ground shook with its movement. Xia En''s complexion changed slightly, and he only had time to reach out and touch the strange drop of root blood. Boom! ! With a loud noise, the flesh and blood giant stepped on him with huge force! (End of this chapter) Chapter 96 Guide to hidden dungeon, the struggle of [Blood Hunter Guild] Chapter 96 Guide to Hidden Copy, [Blood Hunter Guild]s Struggle Submarine is over! In the captain''s cabin, as soon as Xia En opened his eyes, he saw the familiar ceiling. The way he died this time was really disgusting. ??Recalling the feeling of being wrapped in thick mud, Shane couldn''t help but get goosebumps all over his body. Fortunately, during several dives, he had also developed extremely strong nerves, and he calmed down after just taking a few deep breaths. Let me see if this drop of blood is worth the price I paid. ??The loot for this dive is simple and straightforward, there is only one thing - Blood of the Crimson Ancient Tree Type: Material ?Quality: Rare Description: Blood full of the secret power of blood and the power of the secret sea. It also contains a large amount of dirty impurities, and direct absorption will cause serious pollution. Perhaps...the secret power can be realized in a special way? "Um?" Xia En frowned slightly: "Can''t it be absorbed directly?" Think about it carefully. Generally, the blood of vampires contains a large number of negative emotions of those who have been sucked. Invisible pollution has long been flowing deep in their blood. Not to mention, this [Crimson Ancient Tree] has lived for who knows how many years and has digested many corpses. If you absorb this drop of blood rashly, you may become a madman directly. But what does it mean to feel it in a special way? ??Xia En touched his chin and complained secretly: "Why is the Riddler even starting to appear on the panel?" He lowered his head and carefully observed the blood on the palm of his hand. ?This drop of ancient tree blood is very viscous, almost like a crystal when it doesn''t move. ?Just by looking closely, you can see its special features. ??Threads of black material are surging in it, and there are also some weak and fleeting starlights. "The black ones should be the so-called impurities, and the starlight...is the form of the power of the secret sea?" Xia En thought to himself, and suddenly realized something. Although [Crimson Ancient Tree] is a plant, its body fluid is also called blood by [Eye of the Secret Sea]. Then, the talent [Blood Power] might be able to take effect on him! Xia En has always been vigorous and resolute in doing things, and he would try it whenever he thought of it. As he activated the [Power of Blood], his consciousness came into contact with this drop of blood. Boom! In an instant, a thunderous noise sounded in Xia En''s mind. The scene in front of him suddenly changed. The surrounding area turned into a dense forest, and the feet were solid and warm soil. ?Looking up, the bright sunshine is shining down, making it seem pleasant and comfortable. "This is?!" Xia En was surprised. He found that he had lost the feeling of his hands and feet, replaced by branches, leaves, and roots buried in the ground... I became [Crimson Ancient Tree]?! Before Xia En could figure out the situation, several handsome men and women with pale faces and strange temperaments came under him. ?These men and women looked happy, cheering, or moved to tears. Some even knelt down on the ground and recited something devoutly. But when he saw this scene, he was not happy at this time. Instead, he was a little confused and unhappy. Soon, something even more unpleasant happened to Him. ?These strangers began to bring some of the captives to the foot of the tree, slit their throats, and watered the ground beneath His feet with their blood. He was forced to drink blood, and some dirty impurities were mixed into his body. He felt uncomfortable but could not refuse. ?Time passed quickly, people sent more and more sacrifices, and more and more impurities accumulated in His body. The surrounding trees were cut down and a city was built here. ?More and more people came to worship Him every day, but He only felt bored, bored, and unwilling. Until one day the owner of the city came to Him. O Holy Tree, I am willing to sacrifice the people of this city and sink this place into the [Secret Sea]. ?He didn''t respond, just stared at him coldly. ?The man smiled: "Your wishes don''t matter. You can no longer disobey me." In the name of Scarlet, I command you to fulfill my wish! His heart roared with rage. Emotions of resentment and hatred burst out. But to no avail. The power from deep within the blood controlled his body. Forced him to accept the sacrifice and took the entire city into the [Secret Sea]. After that, He never saw the sun again. I just absorb the dirty corpses day after day, letting my consciousness fall into the abyss step by step. Huhahuha Xia En woke up suddenly, panting hard, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. ?The hallucination just now was so real that he almost thought he was the real [Crimson Ancient Tree]. ?The emotions of anger, resentment and depravity seemed to still remain in his heart. That was the memory of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] just now? After calming down, Xia En was surprised. He originally thought that the [Crimson Ancient Tree] was an accomplice of the vampires, but now it seems that he is also a victim? In this case, is it possible to communicate with Him? Xia En thought about it for a moment and felt that it was feasible. ?However, what concerned him more was the new information that appeared on the panel. You have come into contact with a small amount of the power of the mysterious sea from the "blood of the ancient crimson tree"! Your perception of the secret sea has been enhanced! ?Seeing these two lines of text, Xia En''s eyes suddenly lit up and his heart pounded. It actually works! "Maybe...I can really get in touch with the second-level promotion ritual in this way!" In the final analysis, one of Xia Ens main purposes in exploring the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is to obtain the magic potion that can advance to the second level. Now, although the magic potion has not been found, another opportunity for promotion has been found. Its really a big circle. Xia En sighed in his heart and looked forward to exploring the other side of the Blood Moon Secret Realm. Several days followed. ??Xia En is using various methods to try to conquer the "hidden copy" in this [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Sometimes he attempts to communicate with the [Crimson Ancient Tree], and sometimes he controls the [Blood Power] to directly sense the blood in its body. ??Sometimes I climb to the heights of the roots of ancient trees, wanting to have close contact with the [Secret Sea]... Some of these methods have taken effect, and some have not. ??But Xia En clearly felt that he was getting closer and closer to the promotion ritual, and even occasionally vague calls came to his ears. at the same time. The survivors in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] are in a very difficult situation. In fact, the overall strength of the [Blood Hunter Guild] is far inferior to that of the Vampire Clan. The reason why we were able to barely support it before was all thanks to the help of [Shadow of the Faceless] to share the attention of many vampires. At the moment, the [Shadowless Shadow] is nowhere to be seen, and the [Blood Hunter Guild] quickly suffers a large number of casualties. At this moment, in a hidden house. Several leaders of the [Blood Hunting Society] are gathering here. So, are the reinforcements from the Federation you say true or false? A man with purple hair and a grumpy personality looked at the black-haired boy not far away and said in a rather unkind tone. Damn it, if you wait any longer, all my brothers will be dead! The man is none other than the captain of the Thunder, Loren "Thunder Tooth"! Compared with more than 20 days ago, he is now covered in injuries, with several circles of bandages wrapped around his arms, his breath is weak, and he looks miserable. ?However, being able to survive in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] for so many days is enough to show that Loren is strong. Quiet! On the other side, Alyssa, the captain of the Siren, gave Loren a cold look, making him immediately cower. ??Loren knew that he really couldn''t afford to mess with this bitch! ??The pirates at sea only heard rumors that Loren pursued Alyssa, but they never knew that after his failed pursuit, he was severely punished by being stepped on under the soles of Queen "Ye Ji"''s shoes! So much so that it left an indelible psychological shadow on him. After Alyssa easily suppressed Loren, she couldn''t help but look at the black-haired boy on the main seat. "Mr. Feiya, although Loren''s attitude is a bit impatient, his question is also what I want to ask." Whether its true or not, I hope you can tell the truth. Will the Federation...really take action? ?Not only Alyssa and Loren, but also the other survivors present looked at Feiya, hoping to get definite news from him. In fact, after being hunted by the vampires one after another in the past few days and suffering heavy casualties, the reason why the [Blood Hunting Association] has not fallen apart is because of the promise Feiya made. ??If the federation takes action, things may turn around. ??If the so-called "reinforcements" were lies from the beginning, I am afraid that a large number of people will completely lose their will to fight. Looking at everyone''s eyes, Fei Ya sighed and said very seriously. In this case, I wont hide it from you anymore. Tonight is the time to fight back! Thanks to "Ye Xiangling" for the 3,000-coin reward! Thank you so much! Today I feel a little headache, not in a good condition, and I havent updated a bit! (End of this chapter) Chapter 97 The Federation takes action, the third-level powerhouse! Chapter 97: The Federation takes action, the third-level powerhouse! As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly became happy. Even Alyssa, who has always been calm, couldn''t help but ask. Seriously? Tonight, federal reinforcements will arrive? Feiya nodded and said frankly: "Actually, as far as I know, the Federation''s mystics sneaked into the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] a few days ago, just waiting for an opportunity to take action." When is the time to take action? At this time, a one-eyed pirate wearing black clothes and a gloomy expression sneered next to him. I think they really want to wait until we are all killed by the vampires before they take action! ?This one-eyed pirate is none other than Caius the Ripper, the captain of the Skyhawk, one of the three major pirate ships. Hearing this, the people who were a little happy just now felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, and they suddenly fell silent. Yes, in the final analysis, the relationship between pirates and official forces such as the Federation is incompatible. Being wanted and hunted are commonplace. Who can guarantee that after the Federation''s Secret Pathers deal with the vampires, they will kill all the pirates in one fell swoop? Captain Caius. Feiya''s face darkened, and she said in a bad tone: "I should have told you that the strong man from the Federation who took action this time is a senior of the Church of Steam." He has sworn to the God of Steam that he will not hold you responsible for your crimes this time in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and reach a temporary cooperative relationship. If we dont even have this trust between us, how can we cooperate? His stature is petite and his appearance is prettier than that of a girl. But when facing the ferocious pirates, he was so full of momentum that it was impossible to despise him. Apart from the majesty that Fei Ya has established in the [Blood Hunting Society] these days, another reason is... ?In the process of constantly rescuing and purifying others, he has been promoted to the second level of the priest''s secret path! The identity of the second -order secret allows Fei Ya to have the right to speak with the three pirates. "Ah" ?Caius was obviously still a little distrustful, but due to Feiya''s prestige, he just sneered twice and stopped talking. The atmosphere seems a bit stiff. Loren next to him spoke to smooth things over: "Since Mr. Fei Ya has said so, we are naturally willing to believe you." Besides, no matter what, tonight...everything will come to an end. So, whats the plan for the counterattack? Feiya''s face softened slightly and she said seriously: "This is what we are going to discuss next." ?Tonights full blood-colored moon looks a little dim. Under the cold moonlight, "Ripper" Caius led his pirates through the streets. The "steam balls" on their bodies blocked the smell of blood, so they did not attract the attention of the vampires. ?While on the way, the first mate of the "Aquila" showed an expression that he was hesitant to speak. ?Caius glared at him: "Damn it, let it go!" Captain, do we really want to do this? The first mate asked cautiously: "Although the Federation is not trustworthy, the promise of the vampires... is not much better!" ?Caius sneered: "You think I don''t know that those vampires are all a bunch of lunatics?" But the problem is, we have no choice! After all, this is the home ground of the Blood Clan. Even if the strong men of the Federation come in, they will probably not be able to get a good deal. Besides ??Caius'' only remaining eye flashed with greed and desire. Thats immortality! ?Hearing this word, the first mate''s heart beat even more intensely. For any intelligent creature, this ability is a huge temptation. Thats right, these pirates, including Caius, are the betrayers in the Blood Hunters. What they want to do at this moment is not to launch a sneak attack on the vampires in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] as planned. Instead, he went to the planned location, set up an ambush against the [Blood Hunter Guild], and worked with the vampires to end it all. ??As long as Feiya''s head can be cut off, they can be transformed into a member of the vampire clan! Very quickly ?Caius found that the development of things seemed to be different from what he expected? ??Coming to a neighborhood not far from the [Red and Black] Castle, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and even their heartbeats could be heard clearly. Strange...where are they? ?Caius''s heart skipped a beat, and he had some ominous premonitions. Calculating the time, the other members of the [Blood Hunting Club] should have arrived almost there. ??Moreover, why cant you even sense the breath of other vampires? As the leader of the betrayers, Caius has actually received some small gifts in order to be "lucky" to survive several attacks by the vampires. At this moment, a familiar sound of steam releasing pressure came from a building not far away. Oh? Is it finally here? ?Housthy words sounded along with the whistling sound of airflow. Just in time, a few bedbugs here have also been dealt with. In the dull eyes of Caius and others, a tall figure walked out under the **** moonlight. This person''s whole body is covered in armor made of white alloy. ?The chest armor, waist armor and arm guards are covered with numerous pressurized pipes and steam valve structures. A thick steel mask obscured his true face. ??Everyone could only see a faint red light in his goggles, sticky blood dripping from his armor, and he was holding a vampire corpse in his hand. After seeing the appearance of this vampire clearly, Caius''s pupils shrank suddenly. The patriarch of the Sethis family, Dolan Sethis! He is also a strong man with second-level strength! And now... there is a big hole in his chest, and there is no life left! Obviously, not only Dolan, but all the vampires ambushing nearby have been wiped out. ??Caius reacted very quickly, and after changing his expression several times, he quickly said: "We are members of the [Blood Hunter Guild], and we are about to attack the stronghold of the Vampire Clan. Who are you?" Are you starting to act coy now? The man covered in platinum armor smiled and said, However, your number is smaller than I thought. Its a pity that we cant kill a few more pirates as a matter of course. Otherwise that boy Fei Ya will be angry with me. Boom! Not far away, there was a sudden loud noise near the [Red and Black] castle. ?That sound was very familiar to Caius, it was the roar of [Titan''s Grasp]! In an instant, Caius figured it all out. Fei Ya may have guessed his betrayal a long time ago, and used this in turn to attract all the betrayers and catch them and the vampires ambushing here. And, at the same moment, a strong attack was launched! Damn it, that little brat can actually make it this far? ?Caius was filled with shock and anger. ?But he did not hesitate, kneeling directly towards the platinum armor not far away, and shouted loudly. Your Excellency, please spare me a moment simultaneously! Violent steam spurted out from the platinum armor. ??Before Caius finished speaking, the man came to him at an incredible speed. At the same time, severe pain came from the chest. My name is Platinum Knight-Karlais. Hereby pronounce your death! The hoarse words reached his ears, and Caius''s vision suddenly fell into darkness. After killing these pirates lightly, Carles looked in the direction of the [Red and Black] Castle. The show has already begun, how can it be without my participation? next moment. ??The steam around Carles seemed to suddenly come to life, bursting out with strong power, propelling him into the high altitude. In just ten seconds, he flew above the castle. From his perspective, he can easily see it. On the ground, many Federation mystics, together with the remaining members of the [Blood Hunting Society], launched a general attack on the castle. Among them, there are quite a few second-level experts. ??Dulan, a demi-human who had met Xia En several times, was also fighting with the vampires. With the support of the powerful federation, the combat power of both sides appears to be evenly matched. ?At this time, Carles'' arrival undoubtedly attracted the attention of everyone present. That breath...is a third-level secret path user? Warren, the patriarch of the Kahler family, looked slightly changed and looked in disbelief: "How is that possible?" If a third-level secret traveler comes, Blood Moon should send out a warning as soon as possible! In fact, as a [secret realm], there is an upper limit to the level of secret power that this space can accommodate. Once a high-level secret person enters, it will affect the stability of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] to a certain extent. The Vampires also use this to judge the combat prowess of outsiders. But it is a bit incredible that this third-level secret pather actually sneaked in under their noses like this. No, somethings wrong Another clan leader was vaguely aware of it and murmured: "That guy...may not be a living creature anymore." That steam armor is his true body! Thats well said. ?At some point, Carles came behind the blood clan leader and said calmly. All living third-level secret path practitioners will be watched by your scarlet lord, but this restriction...is invalid for me! The blood clan leaders hair stood on end as he shouted violently: Go to hell! ?Countless sword blades, spears, and daggers made of blood burst out from his body, trying to pierce and erode Carles'' armor at close range. ?But in this regard, Carles just chuckled. May the steam bless you. The sacred steam spread loudly, steaming and igniting the blood of the patriarch. In the blink of an eye, the vampire in front of Carles disappeared, and his entire body evaporated with the steam, leaving nothing behind. The third level versus the second level, coupled with the restraint of attributes, naturally resulted in a devastating effect. But just when Carles was about to continue cleaning up all the vampires present. An ancient voice suddenly sounded from deep within the castle. Knight of the Church of Steam, you have crossed the line. ?This sound came from a particularly dark and deep coffin. The thick dark red blood boiled and undulated like magma in the coffin, gradually converging into a human shape. Subsequently, he appeared in front of Carles out of thin air. ??This is a handsome young man who looks young, with his hair flowing behind him like a deep red waterfall. ?A pair of pupils were shining with blood-colored light, and the eyes were deep and turbid, making them look both young and old. ? And his aura is as deep as a mountain, as deep as a mountain. ?Just standing there brought a strong sense of oppression to Fei Ya and others below. Obviously, he is also a third-level mystic. Ancestor! All the Vampires looked excited. ??This man with blood hair and eyes is the owner of the [Red and Black] Castle and the strongest person alive in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Have you finally shown up, Winston Yeager? ?Carless sneered. Then, suffer death! Transitional chapters, its impossible not to write them, **** it! (End of this chapter) Chapter 98 The man with thousands of roots Chapter 98 The Man Above Thousands of Roots Under the dim blood moon. The hissing steam covered the whole body of the platinum armor. The moment the words fell, the jet device behind the platinum knight suddenly started, speeding up, and rushed straight towards Winston''s face. ?His body cut through the sky, making the air emit a shrill scream. What an impatient little guy. There was a hint of mockery in Winston''s eyes. The next moment, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared not far behind Carles as if teleporting, and he said at the same time. I specifically chose the night of the dark moon to attack. Is it because I am not confident enough in my own strength, or Are you also waiting for that fruit to ripen? Hearing these words, Carles just smiled lightly. When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength. I naturally want to choose the most favorable moment to take action to reduce the casualties of my men. As for the fruit of your mouth...you can pick it as you please, whats wrong with that? ?In front of everyone, he admitted his intention very frankly, and his words were filled with confidence in his own strength. Immediately, Carles roared towards Winston again. ?Winstons figure also kept flashing and teleporting in the moonlight. ??But the strange thing is that no matter how amazing Carlish''s speed is, he can''t touch this man with blood-stained eyes. "too slow." With this slow speed, do you still want to hit me? Under the **** moonlight, Winston''s scornful and mocking voice continued to sound. Seeing this scene, the vampires below could not help but feel greatly boosted in morale. At the corner of the battlefield, Fei Ya couldn''t help but show some worry on his face. After all, they are both third-level Secret Path players, and the opponent has the home field advantage of the Blood Moon Secret Realm. ?It seems to be particularly unclear who will win. But at this time, Dulan beside him chuckled: "That vampire **** is going to lose." Fei Ya is a little confused. Judging from the current situation, it is clear that Winston has the upper hand, right? Noticing his gaze, Duran kindly explained: "Do you know why the Federation only sent a third-level knight, Lord Knight, to solve this incident this time?" Isnt it because there are other factions in the Federation that are dominated by the vampires? Ahem, of course thats also a reason. ?Dulan coughed twice and looked at the platinum knight high up with awe and admiration. The more important reason is... you are very strong! Strong enough! "Um?" Feiya was stunned for a moment. Before he could think deeply about the meaning of these words, the battle situation at the top suddenly changed. I have completely seen through your little tricks. ?Carless looked up at the blood moon high above and said to himself: "Using moonlight to teleport over short distances does have one or two merits." But on the other hand, as long as the moonlight is blocked, you will have nowhere to escape. Suddenly, a deep sound like the ringing of a big bell came from the chest of the platinum armor. Ring the bell once. Push the lever to activate the piston and pump! ?Huge amount of white steam, centered on Carles'' body, rapidly expanded outwards, replacing the **** moonlight. Toll the bell twice. Press the button and start the engine In the sacred steam, gears, levers, pistons...many mechanical structures operate at the highest power, converging into a magnificent hymn. Ring the bell three times. Sing in unison to praise the God of Steam and Steel! ?At this moment, the bodies of Carles and Winston were completely enveloped by a large piece of steam, with violent and turbulent power rushing through it, sweeping like a storm. Ahhhhhh!! Following this, Winston''s angry and painful roar came from the steam. Below the castle, both the vampires and the survivors of the [Blood Hunting Society] looked at the battle in mid-air with shocked eyes. From time to time, **** thunder flashed in the steam. From time to time there was the sound of steam compressing and then bursting. Two different terrifying secret forces, in the hazy steam, clashed and confronted each other in a way that was difficult for them to understand. Just the aftermath of the battle made everyone shaken and panicked. Is this...a battle between third-level mystics? When veteran second-level mystics such as Alyssa and Loren witnessed this scene. They also have to admit that this kind of battle that is close to the [field] level is no longer something they can intervene in. In less than a moment. The two people in mid-air seemed to have fought each other hundreds of times. With a roar, Winston''s figure escaped from the diffuse steam. His body was covered with burning scars almost everywhere, and a large **** hole opened in his abdomen. Even though these injuries were constantly repaired under the blood moon, his temperament was far less elegant and indifferent than before. ?Looking at Carles on the other side, he maintained the same posture as before, with not even a trace of damage on his platinum armor. Which one is strong and which one is weak is clear at a glance. You look like a clown now. Carles chuckled and said, "Isn''t it possible that your secret profession is [Acrobatic]?" "you" Winston felt extremely angry and humiliated. But whats even more shameful is that he seems to be unable to defeat this living steam armor. ?At this point, there is only one way to deal with this guy! ?His eyes flashed with coldness and he made weird handprints. Honor the Scarlet Lord! In the name of me, Winston Yeager ??As Winston opened his mouth, the vampire patriarchs below immediately responded and also began to recite ancient mantras. "No! They want to banish the Platinum Knight just like they banished [Shadow of the Faceless]!" Some survivors recognized the secret techniques used by the Vampires, and their expressions changed slightly. Exile? ??A red light flashed in Carles''s goggles, and at the same time a strong warning signal came from the steam core. He looked in the direction of Winston and was about to rush forward to interrupt the spell casting. Suddenly, the blood moon in the sky opened its eyes! The gaze from the Scarlet Lord fell on Carles. Farewell, foolish knight. ?Seeing the dark cracks opening under the feet of the platinum knight, Winston smiled proudly. However, with the roar of the steam core. ??This knight actually broke free from the pressure of the Scarlet Lord, burst out with astonishing speed, and grabbed Winston in front of him. Haha, come with me on the road! Winston was shocked and angry, but for the moment he could not break away from Carles'' iron-like hands. Fei Ya, pick it up! ?? Before being swallowed up by the dark cracks, Carles even had time to throw a special steam core towards Feiya. Immediately, the two figures disappeared from everyones eyes. The vampires and survivors were stunned for a moment, and then fought hard together. After a while, the world was spinning. ?Carless and Winston regained their sense of the outside world almost at the same time. When they saw the plain made of flesh and mud around them and the broken sky above their heads, the two of them were stunned for a moment. What the **** is this place? But soon, they saw each other not far away, and their expressions changed at the same time. A new round of fighting started immediately, and the trash talk continued. "Old man, what the **** is this? If you can''t beat me, you just resort to dirty tricks, right?" Youre willing to die yourself, but you still want to take me with you!? Suffer death! Ill fight with you! ?However, before the two of them fought for long, giants made of mud and flesh stood up one after another in the surrounding plains. ?This kind of monster does not pose much of a threat to the third-level mystics, but the problem is... They cannot be killed! Furthermore, as the scale of the battle between the two expanded, the number of flesh-and-blood giants increased rapidly, and their size also grew rapidly, quickly becoming a problem that even third-level mystics would find difficult. In desperation, Carles and Winston had to make a temporary truce and maintain a superficial alliance. So, where exactly is this place? ?? Carles looked at Winston coldly and mocked: "Aren''t you the oldest vampire in [Blood Moon Secret Realm]?" You dont even know this, do you? No way? Winston''s face stiffened, and then he said: "I am not the oldest vampire." The truly powerful members of the clan have long since left this secret realm. Otherwise, why do you think you, a small third-level secret practitioner, can be so arrogant? ? Carles smiled and said: "Anyway, I can beat you." "Oh, by the way, the reason why you don''t leave is because your talent is too poor and you didn''t improve outside, right?" Or are you greedy for the power of the strongest person in this secret realm and want to hide here for the rest of your life? The more he spoke, the uglier Winston''s expression became. ??If I couldn''t beat this steam knight, I would have fought with him long ago! The two of them were bickering while advancing on the plain of flesh and blood. Not long after, some towering shadows in the distance that penetrated the sky attracted their attention. ? Carles was a little surprised: "What is that?" Could it be... Perceiving the aura coming from those things, Winston looked thoughtful. He thought of the old crimson tree standing in the [Red and Black] Castle. Combining some legends about the "Land of Exile", he vaguely guessed the truth. ?However, Winston obviously did not intend to share such important information with Carles. The two of them were moving extremely fast, and within just a few breaths, they could vaguely see the true appearance of those shadows. ?They are existences like the roots of trees. On it, there are blood vessel-like veins, which are moving in a regular rhythm. ??And the strange thing is that these roots that drilled out from all over the plain are growing in the same direction at this time. ?The roots, which may be thick or thin, long or short, weave and entangle in mid-air, like a large web woven by fate, giving it an indescribable sense of holiness. Wait, is there a person there? Suddenly, Carles raised his head and said with some uncertainty. "Um?" How could there be anyone else here but us? ?Winston retorted subconsciously. But when he looked up, his eyes widened and his breathing almost stopped. This is such a shocking scene. I saw that where countless roots were entangled and clustered, the roots formed a throne-like seat. A dark and profound figure is sitting on it. ?Beneath His body are the roots of countless empty corpses hanging, as if they have all turned into sacrifices for this figure. Even the blasphemous flesh and blood further down seemed to be intimidated by His majesty and dormant quietly under the earth. ?His head is a broken and messy sky. ?The starlight, so far away that it cannot be traced, passed through the cracks in the sky and was pulled to fall on His body, making His temperament even more weird and profound. With every breath. All the roots move in unison with Him. Facing this scene, even third-level mystics like Winston and Carles couldn''t help but feel dazed. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why cant I update 10,000 words a day! (End of this chapter) Chapter 99 Dont look! Chapter 99 Dont read it! Is that a living person? Or is it a kind of monster that lives in this space? ?Carless''s head, which was composed of gears and levers, felt a rare feeling of uncertainty. ?Anyone who sees this scene in such a place where there should be almost no human beings will probably have similar speculations. Could it be...the [Shadow without Appearance]? On the other side, Winston suddenly remembered the strange stories that were rampant in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] some time ago. It may sound strange, but Winston has never fought against [Shadow of the Faceless]. The reason is not difficult to understand. For him, the lives and lives of the vampires in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] are not that important. ?In Winston''s eyes, the lower vampires, like the humans who feed on blood, are all lowly and lowly creatures. Furthermore, there is no benefit at all from dealing with a bloodless, difficult-to-kill monster. In fact, if Carles hadn''t taken the initiative to break into his castle, Winston wouldn''t even bother to pay attention to the steam knight. At this moment. ? Winston quickly connected the figure high up with the rumors of the "Shadowless Shadow", and was secretly frightened. After being exiled for so many days, he is still alive and seems to have adapted to the environment here? Could it be that...he is truly immortal? And those roots, why do they look like this? Before this, Winston had always had a certain contempt for [Shadow of the Faceless], thinking that the opponent was just a second-level Mystic. The so-called "immortal body" is nothing more than a special secret technique. But now, his mentality has undergone subtle changes. "Old man, if I guess correctly, those...are the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree]?" Suddenly, Carles asked. Winston''s expression changed slightly, but he remained silent and did not speak. But silence itself is actually an answer. ? Carles looked astonished: "It turns out that this is the underground of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], then, beyond the sky, there is the secret sea." He looked up at the figure high up and said in an incredible tone. That guy is actually using the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] to actively draw in the power of the secret sea? He must be crazy! As a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, Carles has gone through three promotion rituals and has a deeper understanding of the [Secret Sea]. Because of this, he understood better how crazy and dangerous it was to directly access the power of the secret sea. The Secret Seacontains countless knowledge and mysteries. It is also the source of strength for many mystics. However, [knowledge] itself can also be fatally dangerous. ?Especially those taboo and filthy [knowledge] will ruthlessly hunt down stupid seekers of knowledge. ?Mortal minds simply can''t accommodate that overwhelming amount of information, and their consciousness will be washed away into a blank sheet of paper in an instant, turning them into a madman who talks all day long, or a confused fool. on the other hand. There are a large number of indescribable impurities in the [Secret Sea], and mere contact will cause severe mental pollution. It may even cause the absorber to turn into a monster that cannot be controlled at all! Simply put, after the [Promotion Ritual], the power given by the [Secret Sea] to the Mystic Pathfinder is actually purified pure secret power. But if you absorb it rashly, you will only end up in an extremely miserable end. But, that guy seems... enjoying it? ? Carles and Winston looked at each other and fell into an eerie silence. After a moment, Carles made a decision. He decided to meet the figure in the sky. Since this is the underground of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the key to getting out of trouble should be the roots of these [Crimson Ancient Trees]. The figure at the top seems to have some ability to control the roots. In addition, Carles has also heard the legend of [Shadow of the Faceless] and knows that the other party and the Vampire Clan are enemies. ??If he hasn''t gone crazy yet, maybe he can be his helper! Even if you can''t escape, it would still be great to kill this old guy! ?Thinking of this, Carles did not hesitate. White steam enveloped his whole body, bursting out at an astonishing high speed, and rose from the ground. at the same time. ?Winston made a similar move. ?His purpose is exactly the opposite of Carles, he wants to destroy the [Shadow of the Faceless] before this Platinum Knight! Even if it is only temporary, these two people cannot be allowed to work together to deal with him. Boom! Two figures, one red and one white, climbed quickly. ?After realizing the other party''s intention, they took action decisively and collided in mid-air again. ??The aftermath of the battle between the two men not only disturbed the blasphemous flesh and blood on the plain, but also caused the surrounding roots to become restless. For the purpose of self-protection. They began to surround them from all sides, wandering like snakes and attacking the two of them. ??If it were an ordinary tree root, the two third-level mystics would not take it seriously at all. ?However, after absorbing so many years of flesh and blood and the power of the [Secret Sea], the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] have long become an extraordinary thing. Not only is it extremely hard, it is also quite resistant to the power of blood and steam. When they came together with the flesh and blood monsters on the ground, both of them felt a sense of pressure. Not to mention, their main enemies are each other at the same level! ?Perhaps because of Winstons vampire status, the Roots hatred towards him seems to be higher. But the strange thing is ? Carles, who was previously stronger than Winston, fell behind in the climb and struggled a bit. Winston thought he was showing weakness, allowing himself to let his guard down. But soon, he discovered that Carles'' strength seemed to have indeed become much weaker? Hahaha...I understand. Winston''s face showed a sudden realization, and he smiled wildly: "You gave a steam core to that boy from the [Blood Hunting Society], hoping that he would hold on until you return to the secret realm." After all, in addition to me, Quinna is also a third-level mystic. You have really taken great pains to protect your descendants! However, you have also become weaker because of this! You are no match for me now. In response to this, Carles just sneered: "In that case, why don''t you dare to attack?" If you want to kill me, isnt now the best time? Hearing this, Winston''s expression changed several times. At this moment, he was indeed murderous. But he can''t guarantee that Carles really has no trump card for a comeback. What if this is just a trap, a seduction... As the saying goes, the longer you live, the more you fear death. So, Winston did not dare to take the risk and fight Carles to the end. He still chose to follow the original plan and deal with the [Shadowless Shadow] at the top first. In just a few tens of seconds. ?Winston has experienced countless attacks. ??The steam of the Platinum Knight, the snake-like roots around him, the muddy flesh and blood emerging from the ground... all became resistance to his upward movement. Such a high-intensity battle made his already unrecovered injuries aggravated. Looking extremely embarrassed. ?But in the end, Winston climbed up to the place surrounded by many roots before Carlisle, and came to the strange throne. [Shadow of no form] ?Winston breathed heavily and looked up at the throne. At this distance, he still couldn''t see the figure clearly. Dark red roots squirm slightly. The dark and profound temperament lingers. ?Some kind of indescribable substance, flowing silently and quietly in the air. Winston suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and took action boldly: "No matter what you are, die!" next moment. The man on the throne opened his eyes. ?His eyes were a little blurry, but with a touch of sullenness. ?Winston''s eyes were involuntarily attracted to it. Because, in the depths of those eyes, there are countless luminous lines and twinkling stars. Just like the scene above the sky and deep in the secret sea. ?In those hazy starlights, there seemed to be a lot of unimaginable knowledge and mysteries, which made him instinctively want to explore and pursue. No! Thats not right Winston''s remaining sanity was horrified, and he suddenly issued a sharp warning. Dont look! Dont think! Dont absorb that knowledge! ?However, it was too late. The moment he saw those eyes, the outcome was already decided! ?The chaotic and huge amount of knowledge began to proliferate and expand in his mind, and in an instant it exceeded the threshold of rationality. In other words... Winston, crazy! The alienation of the mind will also lead to physical distortion. The next moment. ??This **** man''s skin was cracked all over his body, his flesh and blood expanded at an incredible speed, and his pale bone spurs extended and mutated. Suddenly, faces of men and women emerged from his body one after another. They had expressions of malice, hatred, or fear on their faces, and they let out ear-piercing howls together. Obviously, these faces come from people whose blood was drawn by Winston. ?At this moment, they were resurrected in Winschers body in another form! Whats the noise? ?Xia En, who was sitting on the Throne of Roots, opened his eyes. After seeing the mutating piece of flesh in front of him, he couldn''t help but feel particularly confused. "ah?" What happened? Where did this thing come from? No wonder Xia En is so confused. He was just like yesterday, using the power of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] to sense the secret sea, and even vaguely touched the threshold of promotion. ?Suddenly there was a strange movement below, as if someone was fighting. He originally wanted to ignore it and focus on his practice. Who would have thought that within a short while, a sinister mysterious force suddenly came from in front of him, forcibly interrupting his state of sensing the mysterious sea. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a man transforming into an ugly piece of flesh. ?Who would not be confused in this situation? I thought about it for a long time and still couldnt figure it out. Xia En simply stretched out his hand and touched the roots beside him. Through the flow of blood, some vague information was transmitted to his mind. They, bad... We will protect you... Xia En smiled and said sincerely: "Thank you." "But...them? Or are there others?" Soon, Xia En looked at the roots not far away. ?There, a figure wearing platinum armor happened to fly up and cast a surprised gaze. (End of this chapter) Chapter 100 Second level promotion ritual! Chapter 100: Second-level promotion ritual! ifier Seeing Xia En not far away, Carles''s body suddenly made a "hissing" sound. He also saw some faint starlight in those eyes, but fortunately, that kind of power had quickly faded away from the other party. ? Carles glanced at the deformed Winston next to him and quickly came to a conclusion. There is still a part of the power of the secret sea that remains in his eyes. This old guy probably saw those eyes, so he temporarily fell into madness. Thats right, for the time being. For ordinary people, the distortion caused by madness may be irreversible. But at the level of the third-level Mystic Pathfinder, as long as you spend some time, you can still return to the original state. ?While thinking about it, the wailing sound of the human face on Winston gradually weakened, and he was about to recreate the original human form from flesh and blood. But at this moment, many roots suddenly moved. They rushed to stab Winston''s body, turning him into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye. ??Carles knew the importance of last-hitting and directly extended his right hand to him. Steam magic! Boom! Roaring sacred steam poured out from his right arm, impacting Winston''s whole body. Whoa, ah, ah, ah, ah ?Winstons screams came from flesh and blood. ??But he is worthy of being a third-level Mystic. Even at this moment, he is still struggling hard. The scarlet blood mist disperses in an attempt to penetrate into Carles'' armor... not far away. ?Shane glanced at the battle between them and quickly concluded that the victory of this steam knight was only a matter of time. At the same time, he was also observing this person silently. The Third-Level Mysteries, the Church of Steamcould they be the strong ones of the Federation? Yes, considering the time, its time for the Federation to take action. Looking at him, he seems to have been exiled here with this vampire. "Just like they can''t kill me, the vampires can''t kill this federal strongman, which shows that... his strength is terrifying." Xia En''s mind was filled with thoughts: "In other words, as long as he is brought back to the surface of [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the situation of the battle will be reversed in an instant." This is easy to handle! At this time, the [Exile Mark] on his body had faded to the point where it was almost invisible. ?This is also thanks to the roots of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] around me. On that day, he used the power of blood to obtain the memory of the ancient crimson tree, and then tried to communicate with it. At the beginning, naturally, I failed several times in succession, and died miserably a few times. ??But by chance, Shane successfully established contact with them and expressed his goodwill. ?After that, these roots gradually showed a friendly attitude, and even vaguely regarded Xia En as one of their own kind, and built a small shelter for him to practice. ?This was the scene that Carles and I saw. As for why its in mid-air? Because the closer to the sky, the stronger the power of the secret sea flowing in the roots becomes. ?Similarly, Xia En didnt dare to go to higher places. ?This height is already the limit he can bear. If it goes any higher, the power of the ship''s soul will be consumed at an incredibly fast rate. It is precisely because of the power of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] that the [Exile Brand] will fade day by day. In terms of how ancient the bloodline is, [Crimson Ancient Tree] can even be said to be the ancestor of the Vampires, so breaking up an [Exile Brand] is nothing. While Xia En was thinking. The battle situation in the field suddenly changed. In the sacred steam, Winston''s extremely spiteful voice came out: "If you want to kill me, you can''t even think about it easy!" "In the name of scarlet, at the cost of all my bones and blood, I curse you to be filthy for life!" In an instant. ??The skin, bones, organs...all the flesh and blood tissue all over his body suddenly turned into a viscous scarlet liquid, turning into cold poisonous snakes that clung to Carles'' armor. ?Seeing this, Carles''s steam core beat violently, giving rise to an ominous omen. ?His movements were not unpleasant. High-temperature and high-pressure steam immediately sprayed from the pipes in an attempt to melt the viscous blood. However, the curse imposed by a third-level mystic at the cost of his life is obviously not that easy to deal with. ??The blood snake neighed, with Winston''s strong resentment, and in turn swallowed the steam into its belly, and accelerated its climb again. The power of steam seemed extremely feeble for the first time. ?Just a moment later, several dark red blood snakes had penetrated deeply into the white-gold armor, leaving strange and ominous blood lines on the chest, back, and arms... ?The entire platinum armor looked like it had been desecrated, losing its original sacrosanct temperament. Damn it! ?? Carles'' tone was rarely filled with anger: "I was actually tricked by this old thing!" In fact, if the steam core was still there, he would definitely not have been hit. but now ? Carles clearly felt that the body''s mobilization of the secret power was slightly uncoordinated and unsmooth. It''s like a machine lacking lubricating oil. ?Such a seemingly small impact will cause fatal flaws in his battle. ? ?The more serious negative impact is that the sacred characteristics of the steam are reduced, making it difficult to cast the divine spells of the Steam Church. This set of combined skills directly reduced his combat power by 40 to 50%. We can only find a way to lift this curse after returning to the Church of Steam. ? Carles sighed, turned his head to look at Xia En behind him with caution, and asked. "Shadow without appearance, are you awake?" He was worried that this strange shadow had long been contaminated by the power of the [Secret Sea] and turned into some kind of indescribable monster. ?Shaan nodded and said: "Of course." Hearing this, Carles breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he became even more curious. What is the origin of this [Shadowless Shadow]? In his impression, the only people who can directly tap into the power of the [Secret Sea] without going crazy are a few big shots in the Federation who even he needs to look up to. But this kind of question involving identity and origin has always been a secret among secrets, and Carles was too embarrassed to ask directly. Not long. The two had a brief conversation, mainly to confirm the identity of the friendly forces and exchange a little information. ?Shaan roughly learned about the current situation of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] from Carles. So, next, will Silvermoon Islands Archon Viper Quinn also attend? Its not just him. ? Carles shook his head: "A conservative estimate is that there are at least two third-level combatants on Silver Moon Island, as well as a considerable number of second-level mystics." My original plan was to attack and capture the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] before the Secret Pathers on Silver Moon Island could react. Then use the mouths of pirates and salvage crews to spread the news and force the vampires in the upper echelons of the federation to abandon Silver Moon Island. If Silver Moon Island dares to take action, it would be easier, and it would be logical and logical to regard it as a rebellion. When the navy presses the border, dealing with a small Silver Moon Island is just a matter of digging around. "Unfortunately" ? Carles sighed, the most important thing for this kind of lightning tactics is time. The unexpected circumstances of his exile led to the complete collapse of the plan. At this time in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Viper Quinn and the others are probably surrounding my men and other survivors. I gave a steam core to the leader of the [Blood Hunting Society], Fei Ya, so that he could temporarily have the power of a third-level mystic, but it would only allow them to support it for a while longer. ? Carles said extremely sincerely: "So, the top priority now is to let me return to the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]." Only the third level can fight against the third level! Shameless Shadow, what can you do? After thinking for a moment, Shane asked: "I have a question." In your current state, are you strong enough to fight against two third-level mystics? ??Karlais stiffened slightly and said frankly: "If we get the steam core back, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with one level three, but if there are two..." This blood curse had a great impact on his combat power. ?Especially the attenuation of the sacred characteristics, which prevents him from exerting much restraint effect on the vampires. Xia En was not surprised and nodded: "I understand." I have a few more questions, I hope you can answer them truthfully. After listening to these questions. ? Carles'' tone was full of surprise: "Wait, do you really want to?" But the premise of this plan is that you must be a second-level Mystic Pathfinder, otherwise you will suffer serious backlash. As a third-level secret path user, Carles naturally has good eyesight. ?So it has been seen a long time ago that although Xia En''s aura is strange and deep, his essence is still just a first-level secret path user. Second level? Ill be there soon. ??Xia En said lightly, but his tone was full of strong confidence. You wait here for a moment, I will let these roots wash away your [Exile Brand] as much as possible. Ill be promoted to the second level and then come back. ??Carles: "?" For a moment, he doubted whether he heard correctly. Who said that going for a promotion is as casual as going for a meal? ?In Carles'' dull gaze, this deep figure rose upwards surrounded by roots. Immediately, his body gradually shattered and disappeared in the messy starlight. at the same time. On the Black Swan, in the captain''s cabin. Shane wakes up. Immediately afterwards, a distant, vague, and untraceable call echoed in his ears. Only this time, he heard more voices. That is the whisper of the tide, the murmur of the waves, and... the cry of the storm! ?This invitation letter of unknown origin seems to contain some new content. Like last time, Xia En chose to accept it happily. The familiar feeling of weightlessness came suddenly. ?Consciousness passes through the deep dark sea, through the flowing light and shadow, and the twinkling stars... Eye of the Secret SeaA strange light flashed in the depths of my mind. When Xia En opened his eyes again, he came to the strange and familiar secret sea! Thanks to "Yuewuxinghen" for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much! Originally I wanted to write about the feeling of a brave man finally coming to the devil after all the hard work and then being killed. I felt it was a bit too delayed and the writing was not very good. Damn it! Sorry guys! When it comes to cooking, just practice more! (End of this chapter) Chapter 101 Racing on the sea! [Sir of Yousui]! Chapter 101 Crazy at sea! [Sir of Yousui]! The sound of the waves reached my ears. ??A gust of salty sea breeze blew across the deck, also ruffling the captain''s uniform on Sean''s body. Similar to the last promotion ritual, he was on the projection of the [Black Swan]. Its just that the weather here is far different from the bright and sunny day last time. The sky was dark and dull, the clouds were low and gloomy. ?There was a dark and hazy mist lingering on the sea on both sides of the ship, and Xia En could even smell the hidden malice in it. The person who comes is not good. ?Xia En sighed softly and became extremely vigilant. Although he seems to talk very casually, deep down he still attaches great importance to promotion rituals. On the other hand, I have the experience of my last promotion. ?? How much does Xia En know that his promotion routine seems to be different from others? Especially in terms of difficulty, it is simply ridiculously high! at this time. The wind and waves on the sea are getting stronger little by little. A huge shadow gradually appeared under the already dark sea surface. ?The shadow is like a swelling and shrinking mass of flesh, covering the nearby sea. At its edge, there are a large number of tentacles that are constantly extending and wriggling, like thousands of waving limbs. ifier Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but his eyelids twitched slightly, and a strong ominous warning arose in his heart. At the same time, several lines of information appeared in front of his eyes. Trial mission: Escape from the sea area where they are, or survive their pursuit for 48 hours. If the tester dies or the ship sinks into the secret sea, the mission will be deemed a failure! Note: The flow of time in this sea area is twice as fast as reality. After reading this information, Xia Ens lips twitched. Escapepersist ?These words clearly tell him that it is almost unrealistic to contend with the existence under the sea. ?However, another thing that secretly frightened Xia En was the comment about the flow of time. Is this the [Secret Sea]? It can even affect things at the level of time and space. While he was organizing his thoughts. The surrounding wind and waves have become larger visibly to the naked eye. Waves stronger than the previous wave began to come continuously from the distance, and the hull of the [Black Swan] was shaking in the wind and waves. Some hazy, vaguely frightening emotions spread along the deck into Xia En''s mind. ? Even if it is just a projection, it still has some characteristics similar to Xiao Hei. Are you scared? "Don''t be afraid, I am your captain and I will take you out of here." Without hesitation, Xia En quickly walked to the rudder of the ship and took hold of the familiar yet unfamiliar steering wheel. Boom! In an instant, his will washed over the entire ship like a wave, spreading in all directions. The deck, sails, masts, keels, steam turbines...these components that seemed to be inconsistent with reality still responded to his call resolutely and operated as before. ??The captain''s majesty cannot be questioned, and at the same time, he also shoulders the fate of the entire ship! Xia En shouted: "Set sail! Move forward!" The steam core deep in the cabin roared, all the cannons began to rotate, and the raised sails absorbed the wind. A loud and roaring whistle sounded across the sea! The Black Swan suddenly picked up speed and rushed towards the thick fog with no way forward. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?At the next moment, a pitch-black tentacle that was thicker than the mast emerged from the sea and slammed down on the [Black Swan]! ?The tentacles have suckers of various sizes, and each sucker seems to have a moving eyeball. ?Countless sharp teeth are scattered around the edges of the eyeballs. ?The moment the tentacles appeared, a low and hoarse murmur echoed around. ?This murmur contained blasphemous malice, and the shadows condensed out of thin air in the whisper, causing Xia En to frown slightly. Just because of the sudden surge in speed of [Black Swan]. ??This time the tentacles slapped in vain. Only set off a huge, turbid wave on the sea. ?However, Xia En did not relax. Because, under the dark water, there are more tentacles, big or small, surfacing! Its only the second-level promotion trial, why dont you give me this? ??Given Xia En''s psychological quality, he also had some thoughts of scolding her at this time. But as of now, the situation has reached a point of no return. ??There is still a glimmer of hope to ride the wind and waves forward, but if you are afraid of hands and feet, there is only a dead end! ?Thinking of this, a fighting spirit emerged in Xia En''s heart, and he roared amidst the roaring waves. Fire! Shoot the **** out of me! Boom! boom! boom! The artillery on both sides of the hull received the captain''s order and immediately began the first round of bombardment. This projected ship completely replicates the current situation of the [Black Swan], and the ammunition on the ship is no exception. In an instant, a loud noise like thunder roared across the entire sea area. ?The cannonball roared across the sky and landed on the nearest dark tentacles at the end of the parabola. ?These defensive cannons, purchased at a large price and reinforced, are very powerful. The tentacles'' flesh and flesh are split open by the blast, and dark purple filthy blood flows out. ?Those shells that missed the target also stirred up huge water columns on the sea, causing the shadows under the sea to tremble slightly. Regrettably. The effects such as [Desecration] and [Pollution] attached to the cannonballs are not effective against the weird tentacles. Mostly because their secret powers have something in common. ?After being injured by the cannonball, the tentacles became more and more manic and restless, and even let out a wild and uncomfortable roar. ?This sound is actually somewhat similar to the roar of the [Deep Sea Murloc] in the last promotion ritual. Immediately, some smaller but more flexible tentacles suddenly emerged from the sea from the bow of the [Black Swan] and climbed onto the deck, trying to entangle the ship and slow down its progress. Seeing this, Xia En''s eyes narrowed. He knew that once the Black Swan slowed down and was dragged into the sea by its tentacles, it was only a matter of time! Without any hesitation, Xia En pulled out the sword from his waist, strode forward, and slashed at the tentacles on the deck with one strike. The sword flashed and blood splattered. ?Several broken tentacles fell on the deck. ?Those teeth-filled eyes stared at Xia En fiercely, and soon lost their life. Obtain the trophy "The Corpse of Yousui''s Descendant" It was detected that "contaminant crystals" were present in the corpse. Should it be stored? Sir of Yousui? "Is it the name of this kind of tentacle? Or...that shadow under the sea?" Under normal circumstances, Xia En might be happy to obtain [Filth Crystal]. But right now, he doesnt even have time to absorb the [Crystal of Filth]! ?On the undulating dark sea, more and more profound tentacles are sweeping towards the [Black Swan]! ??At the same time that Xia En was in a dangerous and weird promotion ritual. In the Blood Moon Secret Realm. Several strong men with good auras have also arrived in the hall of the old castle [Red and Black]. The leader is none other than the pale-faced, slightly weak-tempered Archon of Silver Moon Island"Viper" Quinn! At this time, many vampire clan leaders were half-kneeling around him, looking at this man with complex eyes that were both awe and uneasy. They were generally injured and their breath was weak. ??This is an injury sustained during the battle with federal reinforcements and survivors. After receiving the help from the federation, the overall strength of the [Blood Hunter Guild] has basically reached the same level as the vampires in the secret realm. Although the previous attack on the castle failed, it also caused considerable losses to the vampires. Even killed the patriarchs of two families. However, after "Viper" Quinn led the Silver Moon Island Mystics, they arrived. The form is reversed again. The survivors were forced to scatter and flee, unable to confront them head-on. But what makes the vampires in the secret realm feel strange is. After arriving at the secret realm, Quinn seemed not to be in a hurry to destroy the [Blood Hunters], but instead gathered them in the castle first. Feeling the different looks from everyone, Quinn always had an indifferent expression on his face. He looked at the coffin belonging to Winston Yeager in front of him. At this moment, the blood in the coffin has completely dried up. It seems that Winston has died in the place of exile. Quinn raised a smile and turned to look at the people in the hall: "In that case, I am the oldest vampire here." Just in time, I have something important to announce to you. ?This dismissive attitude obviously made some vampire clan leaders dissatisfied. Wallen Kahler among them frowned and asked: "Quinn, what do you mean?" Is it something to be thankful for when our ancestors died in battle? "yes." ?While everyone looked at her in disbelief, Quinn admitted frankly: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time." "Unless he dies, my plan will never be carried out." This is what I want to announce to you Before this Blood Moon Night ends, you must all leave the secret realm, and the rumors of [Blood Moon Night] will also end with this. As soon as these words came out, all the vampires were in an uproar. ?They never expected that Quinn would say such a thing. Quinn, are you crazy!? Have you forgotten where your roots are? Why are you driving us away? ?The vampires who will stay here are basically conservative die-hards. They have enjoyed the comfortable environment of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] for so many years, how can they be willing to leave easily? Regarding this, Quinn just said calmly: "Decades ago, [Blood Moon Night] did attract a large number of foreigners to Silver Moon Island, which made the island continue to grow." But now, you old guys are just a burden to Silver Moon Island! Every [Blood Moon Night], I have to spend a lot of energy and financial resources to deal with those outsiders. I not only have to kill and silence them, but also pay attention to their revenge and the attention of the Federation. And all I have done is to let you rot and degrade in this place day by day. Quinn''s eyes swept across the crowd coldly, and he sneered mercilessly. The outstanding and talented vampires have long since left this cage-like secret realm and ventured across the seven seas. Whats left in the end are you stubborn old losers! Is there any need for such a blood moon secret realm to exist? Hearing this, the faces of all the vampires turned blue and purple, but they could not say anything to refute. Lies will not hurt anyone, the truth is the sharpest knife! Quinn continued: "And this time, the Federation''s action means that things have reached a point of no return." Their actions are as good as the first. If you dont want the entire Silver Moon Island to be buried with you, its not too late to end everything now. (End of this chapter) Chapter 102 Promote to the second level and hide your profession! (Please subscribe! Please Chapter 102: Promoted to the second level, hidden profession! (Please subscribe! Please subscribe!) ??After Quinn finished speaking, the castle fell into a brief silence. ??The gray-robed elder who was following him suddenly murmured: "No wonder you knew that the powerful men of the Federation would take action, but you didn''t stop it in advance..." "No wonder you let your son enter the secret realm and become our enemy..." Just want to weaken our power so that you can suppress all the vampires in the Blood Moon Secret Realm. What a profound calculation, what a sinister mind, worthy of the name viper! Hearing this, Quinns eyes flashed. In fact, Feiya''s performance also exceeded his expectations and was not at all within his original plan. But in order to maintain his inscrutable image, he will naturally not take the initiative to explain this. Among the vampires, there are actually many people who are dissatisfied with Quinn''s tough attitude, and they don''t want to leave the secret realm. Just look at the level 3 coercion exuding from him and the well-equipped Mystics behind him. Everyone knew that the situation was over, so they had no choice but to obey his orders. Not long. After dispersing all the vampires, Quinn came to a room high in the [Red and Black] Castle. When you walk into the door, you will see the crown of an ancient tree. Huge and dense crimson leaves and branches crowded the entire empty and spacious room. The secret power like blood is flowing in its stems and leaves. Magnificent blood-colored crystals secreted from the wounds on the tree trunks. Obviously, this is the crown of the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. In fact, this ancient castle named [Red and Black] was built to accommodate it. Quinn raised his head and looked at the corner of the tree crown. ?There, two fruits as red as blood were hanging. ?There is a mysterious color lingering on the fruit, and strange lines flow on its surface, like a deer''s head or thorns, giving people a strong temptation. Crimson Reality If there is anything in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] that can be called a secret treasure, it is undoubtedly this kind of fruit. It only matures on the [Blood Moon Night] once every few years, and its output is extremely rare. It is not only a magic potion for some mystics to advance to the third level, but also the key for vampires to complete their bloodline sublimation and transformation. Due to drinking the blood of others all year round, the blood of vampires has actually been contaminated with certain "impurities" and "pollution" for a long time. Crimson Realitycan purify these impurities and purify the blood again. A few years ago, Quinn broke through to the third level with the help of a [Crimson Reality]. It was only later that every time [Blood Moon Night], the ripe fruits were either given to new people with potential, or were occupied by the old people in the secret realm. The reason why Quinn made these arrangements was because he intended to occupy the [Crimson Reality]. I didnt expect that two fruits would be ripe this time. A hint of surprise flashed in Quinn''s eyes: "But it''s just right..." He turned around and looked outside the castle. From this angle, Quinn could just take in the entire city, giving him the feeling that everything was under control. Two of the planned goals have been achieved. Next, its you, my dear son. Quinn''s expression was faintly fanatical, and he whispered to himself: "I will let you give up your beliefs, emotions, and foreign objects under the gaze of the Scarlet Lord... and become a newly created person." Although this process will be a bit painful, in order to become a greater existence, everything is worth it. The ink-stained sea surface. It started to rain heavily at some point. Black clouds hang high in the sky like iron blocks, while the sea water below stirs up huge waves in the dim thick fog, and there are even black lightnings looming. The Black Swan is squeezing out the last bit of power in the steam turbine to fight against the fate of being dragged into the deep sea. On the deck, Xia En, holding a dark purple blood sword, numbly swung the sword again and again to cut off the tentacles trying to climb onto the ship. The slippery, broken tentacles piled up into a hill at his feet. Blood and rainwater gathered and flowed as the deck undulated. Big raindrops kept falling on Xia En''s body, but they couldn''t wash away the sticky blood stains. He could no longer remember how long he had been fighting in this storm. Perhaps how many hours? Perhaps a whole day? He just mechanically repeated the actions of swinging the sword, controlling the ship, and giving orders to fire. Again and again, again and again Even though the performance of the [Black Swan] is already very powerful, it still seems powerless under the double attack of this natural power and the terrifying existence in the deep sea. At this time, the surface of the ship''s hull had been damaged in many places, with several thick tentacles piercing into it. There are gnawing marks left by numerous tentacles on the deck. The mast tilted slightly and looked shaky. The sail was also torn and had several big holes. ?The artillery pieces are still capable of fighting, but their ammunition reserves are running low. As for the steam turbine that was being squeezed to the extreme and working at a high load, Sean could even feel its roar and convulsions. ??If this projection ship hadn''t also inherited the talent of [Ship Soul Synchronization] and could regenerate and heal on its own, it might not have been able to hold on long ago. In contrast. The tentacles under the surrounding sea surface are still dense and crowded, full of evil activity. The current situation seems to have become a desperate situation! ?The broken [Black Swan] seems to be unable to break out of this deep fog. But even now, Xia En still did not despair. He is waiting for an opportunity. This is also his only chance to break the situation! ?Suddenly, under the strong wind and rain, Xia En''s eyes suddenly lit up. Here it comes! On the panel, after a whole day, the words [Deep Sea Submarine] lit up again. This is the way he thought of breaking the situation! ?Those tentacles are only part of the body of [Sir of Yousui]. No matter how many are cut off, it will not cause substantial damage to it. ??If you want to really drive back this big guy under the sea, the only way is to give its body a hard blow! ?Of course, Shane also knew that this method was extremely risky. ?While [Submersible], his control over the ship will be much weakened, and entering the [Secret Sea] may have other negative effects. But now that the matter has come to this, naturally the only choice is to give it a try! Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Start diving? "yes!" As soon as Xia En''s thoughts moved, his consciousness suddenly sank into the deep sea! The scene under the sea is far scarier than on the sea. ?In the dark but clear sea water, countless tentacles are squirming, extending, and stirring, constantly making roars and murmurs that ordinary people cannot hear. ??Like a terrifying lair where countless giant snakes are entangled together. However, when the eyeballs on the tentacles saw the projection body appear, they seemed to be stunned for a moment. ?Xia En didnt pay much attention to it at all. The moment the projected body was generated, he did not hesitate to use the second stage of [Communicate Ship Soul], and swam towards the core of the tentacles with all his strength. Compared to diving in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the projection body is actually more suitable for this kind of action in sea water. In the blink of an eye, Xia En burst out at full speed and turned into a black shadow, shuttling between the tentacles. Sensing the arrival of the uninvited guests, the dark tentacles naturally cast countless malicious glances. ??The arms and legs curled and contracted, and the sharp teeth on the suction cup opened and closed in an attempt to tear this strange shadow apart. simultaneously! The dark purple sword light flashed across the sea water. ?This blood sword comes from the blood of the tentacles. Although Xia En didn''t have time to check its properties, it is still much easier to use than an ordinary iron sword. Many tentacles were split into two, which also exposed the true nature of the [Yousui Descendants] at the core. ?There, there is a huge eyeball! It is as big as a castle. Only the white and black parts of the eyeball are composed of countless tiny eyeballs, forming a strange, insect-like compound eye structure. Just one look at it is enough to make most people shudder, have countless hallucinations, and even fall directly into madness. The moment he saw it, Xia En felt his head swell and his temples throbbing. Everything in the field of vision began to tremble and shake violently, and there were faint and strange changes. But maybe its the special nature of the projected body, or maybe its the previous perception of the mysterious sea that enhanced his mental resistance. Xia En forcibly resisted this wave of mental pollution and firmly held the sword in his hand. Then, he exerted all his strength and struck forward with a sword! Roar! ! ?With a sharp and harsh neighing sound, the sword suddenly pierced the huge eyeball. Purple-black blood flowed out from the wound and turned into part of the sword again, causing secondary damage. But obviously, this [Yousui Descendants] is not so easy to solve. ?After the neighing sound, the surrounding tentacles seemed to enter a violent state, rushing toward Xia En like crazy. ? Or pierce, gnaw, or tie... Use all methods to completely eliminate this little projection body. Xia En didnt care, he just tried his best to drive the sword deeper. In an instant, his body was completely submerged by numerous tentacles. "It''s now!" Xia En''s consciousness returned to the deck, and he quickly grasped the rudder and shouted: "Go forward! Get out of this sea!" The projection of [Black Swan] seems to realize that this is the only remaining hope. ?Thereupon, a loud whistle sounded, urging the final power to push the hull forward through the waves. At this time, all the tentacles on the sea have been attracted by the projection body making a big fuss under the sea, and naturally they have no time to pay attention to the ship. After accelerating all the way. The speed of [Black Swan] gradually slowed down. The steam turbine could only make a low whine. This means that it has been completely drained and has no strength at all. The entire ship can only rely on the breeze and waves on the sea to move forward slowly. Fortunately, the surrounding fog gradually dispersed, the shadows under the sea disappeared, and even the heavy rain quietly stopped. The bright sunshine shines down, giving the secret sea a bit of golden light. ?The exhausted Shane leaned against the mast with a smile on his face. This time, I win again! Next, its harvest time! ?He dragged his exhausted body, absorbing the tentacles of [Sir of the Netherworld] on the deck, and finally got... Crystal of filth: 259! ?This amount is not unreasonable, it is more than twice that of the deep-sea murlocs last time. Xia En has been fighting hard for so long. With so many filthy crystals, several key components can be strengthened again. Before Xia En could be happy about this, a few lines of text appeared on the panel. Trial mission completed! The promotion ritual is over! Hidden Job Hidden Path Occupation: Deep Sea Favorite (Level 2)! Originally it happened to be the second level of Chapter 100! Pity! (End of this chapter) Chapter 103 【The Blessed One of the Deep Sea! 】 Chapter 103 [The Beloved of the Deep Sea! ...Hidden profession?! [The one favored by the deep sea?] Xia En was stunned when he saw these lines of text. At least in his memory, he had never heard of any hidden professions above the Seven Seas. CaptainArent the second-level professionals of the secret path called Wanderer? What happened to [Deep Sea Favorite]? ??Hunting for Xia En to figure these issues out. The next moment, a raging mysterious ancient wave rolled in from an unexplorable place, washing away his body and soul. ??Moreover, it is different from the last promotion. Xia En vaguely felt that some kind of deep, cold substance had entered his body and was undergoing subtle transformation. His ears heard an ethereal call. ?Like coming from the depths of the [Secret Sea], in that lightless place that should be dark... Perhaps it is a moment, or it may be eternity. ??When Xia En''s vision returned to normal, a brand new prompt popped up in front of his eyes. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! Unlock the exclusive talent of "Blessed by the Deep Sea": the blessing of the sea! ?Quality: Rare Description: Effect 1. When you are on the sea or deep sea, all attributes will be slightly improved. The improvement rate shall not exceed 10% of the original attributes. Effect 2: When you are in the above environment, your luck will change wonderfully, and you will be more likely to encounter various special events. Opportunities, dangers, treasures... everything is possible. The sea is taking care of you! Unlock the exclusive skill of "Deep Sea Favorite": Touch of the Deep! Quality: Epic Description: After causing damage to the enemy, a "deep" mark will be left on the enemy. The duration increases with the number of layers of the mark. Tracking and locking can be carried out during the period. When the "Secret" mark is superimposed to a certain number of layers, mental power can be consumed to summon an invisible touch and detonate it, causing high damage. The damage value is based on your "mysterious" attribute and the number of marks. The deep tentacles are waiting for you... Unlock the exclusive status of "Deep Sea Favorite": Call of the Deep Sea! Quality: Epic Description: You have gained the power from the depths of the secret sea, and also heard his call. Your mental resistance has been greatly improved, and you can resist the pollution, blasphemy, and hallucinations of some indescribable things. Every time you get closer to the deep sea, your compatibility with the profession "Deep Sea Favorite" will increase, and you will go further on this secret path. When the degree of compatibility is improved, and coupled with the baptism of magic potion, maybe you can be promoted to a new level, right? Current fit: 0/100 Required potion materials: Tianyao Starfish... So strong! "This talent, this skill, this status... is indeed a hidden profession!" ?Xia En''s heart was racing and his eyes were astonishingly bright. Compared with the first-level [Captain], the second-level [Deep Sea Favorite] gave him a big surprise. [The favor of the sea] This talent seems ordinary. ??But anyone who has ever been on the sea knows the importance of the word "luck". ??The reason why the original owner was abandoned by the crew and almost turned into a toy of the Duchess was because he was unlucky and suffered two failed sea voyages? ?At sea, there are countless stories of treasures being discovered by accident, legends of turning things around in one fell swoop, or stories of people being destroyed and ships destroyed by storms. Although the description also states that there will be dangers. But we are all making a living at sea, so it would be unrealistic without risks! Furthermore, since its all favor, generally speaking, the advantages should outweigh the disadvantages, right? The newly added skill [Deep Touch] is an active skill given by this promotion. ??The functions are quite comprehensive. Can be used both as a tracking method and as a finishing move to end the battle. Now Xia En actually relies mainly on pure numerical crushing during battles. Blood Shape Secret Technique and Shadow Sword Technique are only auxiliary means. And to be honest, [Shadow Swordsmanship] can no longer keep up with the intensity of Xia En''s battle. Its okay to abuse vegetables and clear out monsters. But once you face some powerful enemies, if you cannot defeat them in the second stage of [Man-Ship Integration], you will be forced into a protracted war. And this [Concealed Touch] that superimposes marks and detonates... To a certain extent, it makes up for the shortcomings of Xia En''s relatively monotonous attack method and adds key finishing capabilities. The specific effect needs to be confirmed through actual combat. ?However, what made Xia En feel a little weird. This skill obviously comes from the [Sir of the Netherworld] under the secret sea. Could it be that I cut off too many of His tentacles and gained part of His power? Then if I had successfully killed him before, would it be... ?Shaan shook his head, expelling this bold idea from his mind, and looked at the last [Call of the Deep Sea]. The increase in mental resistance is secondary. More importantly, this status describes career fit and new rank. How to advance to a higher rank has always been a question that has puzzled Xia En. He only vaguely knew that by doing things that were consistent with the profession, he would be able to meet the prerequisites for promotion. But what is considered to be suitable for a career and how to achieve the prerequisites can only be determined by a vague feeling. ??And [Call of the Deep Sea] allowed Xia En to see a clear direction forward, and even clearly provided the required potion materials. "Perhaps it''s because... [Deep Sea Favorite] is a unique hidden profession." Why is it specially marked because the potions required for regular career advancement are different? ?Xia En guessed in his mind. But no matter what, it is always a good thing to be able to clearly see the way forward and know how to improve. As for why I obtained this hidden profession. Xia En didnt think much about it. Anyway, it must be inseparable from his [Eye of the Secret Sea]. ?Moreover, after witnessing the hellish difficulty of the first trial, Xia En realized that he was destined to embark on a promotion path that was different from others. The [Deep Sea Murloc] and [Sir of the Netherworld] that appear in the ritual are obviously not the monsters that would appear when ordinary Mystics are promoted. The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. ?There is no reason for the promotion difficulty to be so perverted but not giving any extra benefits, right? ?Especially this promotion process, Xia En can''t help but feel a little scared when he thinks about it now. It is very reasonable to obtain a hidden profession! Feeling the surging power in his body, Xia En raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked out the window at the blood moon hanging high in the sky. In this way, the formula for victory has been fully confirmed. Tomorrow night is the time for the decisive battle! (End of this chapter) Chapter 104 Decisive night! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 104 The night of the decisive battle! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) The night came as expected. The city under the **** moonlight. A tunnel that has been dug out in advance. Feiya, Alyssa, Loren, Duran... and several secret travelers are hiding here. They held their breath, suppressed their heartbeats, and did not even dare to make a sound. The solemn and tense atmosphere hung over everyone''s minds like a dark cloud. Even including the federal reinforcements, the number of people in the group was less than thirty. They generally suffered serious injuries and were not in peak condition. And this is almost the only viable force left in the [Blood Hunting Society]! ?After "Viper" Quinn led the mystics of Silver Moon Island to the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the [Blood Hunter Guild] completely lost the ability to compete head-on with them. The suppressive force brought by the two third-level strong men made it extremely difficult for them to even escape. The worse part is. ??Obviously possessing absolute strength, Quinn still adopted mind-attacking tactics. He claimed that as long as the members of the [Blood Hunter Society] surrendered, he would unconditionally forgive them for the crimes they committed in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and transform them into members of the Vampire Clan. Such conditions are not unfavorable. Immediately caused many pirates to give up their resistance, and even went so far as to encircle and suppress other survivors. The already fragile alliance in the [Blood Hunter Society] fell apart because of this. In fact, it was quite surprising to Fei Ya that there were still so many people who had not surrendered. Tap tap tap At this time, a series of slight footsteps passed above everyone''s heads and gradually became distant. Until the footsteps completely disappeared, Fei Ya breathed a sigh of relief. ?His face was much paler than when he first entered the secret realm, and he looked extremely haggard. ?If a person remains tense for too long in a highly stressful state, the body will naturally give negative feedback. Not to mention, in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the thirst for blood in Feiya''s bloodline is increasing day by day. ?The desire to **** blood was like a flame that was getting stronger and stronger, burning his body and mind all day long. Mr. Feiya, are you okay? Randy next to him asked with concern. He was seriously injured, and the bandage on his arm was still leaking blood. Blood ?Such a sweet fragrance Feiya looked a little dazed, and couldn''t help but move closer to Randy. But the next moment. A look of struggle flashed across his face, he bit the tip of his tongue sharply, used the pain to wake up, and spoke in an almost roaring tone. Randy, stay away from me! ?Randy was startled, but he quickly followed the instructions. Several members of the nearby [Blood Hunter Guild] looked a little strange when they saw this scene. ?This is not the first time Fei Ya has shown symptoms like this. After hesitating for a long time, one of them said: "Mr. Fei Ya, is our struggle really useful now?" Now that weve reached this point, why not just The man did not finish what he said, but everyone present understood what he meant. In fact, many people have this idea, but they either directly become traitors, or they hide this idea in their hearts. ?This is the first time that I have spoken directly to Fei Ya like this. ?Faia was not surprised by this, she just looked around at the people around her quietly, as if trying to remember their faces. After a long time, he said: "In that case, I will make it clear." "If you want to live, you can surrender to the vampires now. I won''t blame you." "Everyone can live and give up death. You have the right to live. Rather, I am grateful that you are willing to accompany me all the way to now." Hearing this, Randy couldn''t help but ask: "What about you?" Feiya shook her head and said seriously: "You should know that I am actually a vampire myself." "I could have drank blood and indulged in the thrill of hunting like them, but I didn''t do that. I came to this secret realm to completely smash this scam." If you want to ask the reason, its actually very simple "I do not want to!" I choose to reject such an ugly and humble way of life. Even if the final outcome is still failure, this is the path I chose! I have never regretted it for a moment! Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay, I''ve finished my words, you can go." ?However, Feiya waited for a moment, but found that no one in front of her left, and she couldn''t help but look surprised. "you?" "Ye Ji" Alyssa chuckled and said, "You''re right, I don''t like that disgusting way of living at all." She turned to look at Loren next to her, and said with some surprise: "But, you don''t plan to surrender?" Hey, hey, hey, dont look down on people! "Thunder Ya" Loren said angrily: "Even if you attack my dead brothers, I will not surrender." "Not to mention, I was deceived so miserably by those vampires. If I don''t get revenge, I can''t swallow this breath!" The tiger man Dulan next to him smiled: "I can''t tell, you are a pirate who is quite loyal." "I will not surrender, just because I believe... Lord Carles will return like lightning!" Randy also said seriously: "I would like to follow Mr. Fei Ya forever!" ?Looking at everyone''s different reactions, Fei Ya was speechless, but extremely complex emotions were flowing in her heart. Boom! But suddenly, at this moment, there was a sudden roar above people''s heads! There was also an excited roar coming along with it. Little mice, I got you! In an instant, the expressions of everyone present changed suddenly. No! The blood sickle is coming! Loren and Duran reacted very quickly, immediately bursting out with the power of the second-level Mystics, and punched upwards violently. In an instant, two huge forces collided. The earth shattered and the earth and rocks collapsed. The **** moonlight shines along the hole on everyone in the tunnel. At a high place, there is a strange man with two pairs of blood-colored wings behind him. He is holding a huge sickle made of blood in his hand, with **** greed in his eyes. ?This man called "Blood Scythe" is another third-level secret pather on Silver Moon Island. ?His personality is weird and his behavior is crazy, but he only obeys Quinn''s orders. Over time, people also forgot his real name and only called him "Viper Quinn''s Bloody Scythe". Haha, everyone is here! Just in time, Quinn said that he will kill you all in front of the young master. So, who should we start with? ?Xue Scythe glanced at the people below with his scarlet pupils, showing an innocent smile like a child who had found his favorite toy. Soon, his eyes were fixed on Loren: "It''s you!" Before he finished speaking, Xue Si''s figure turned into a blood shadow and swooped down. ??Loren''s pupils shrank, but he still roared angrily, and flashing purple thunder erupted from his body, converging on the long knife in his hand. Immediately, cut it off with one knife! by The shock wave visible to the naked eye spread, and Loren''s body continued to retreat under the impact of the blood light, pulling out two clearly visible ravines on the ground. On the other side, Duran roared wildly, and his already tall body suddenly expanded in a circle, turning into a half-man, half-tiger state, and rushed towards the back of the blood sickle. "Little kitten, don''t worry, it will be your turn soon." ?The Blood Scythe licked the corner of his mouth, and from the blood on his back, half a body exactly like his split apart, and swept towards Duran with a scythe. simultaneously! Blood splattered. ?Dulan''s body was swept away, smashing into two or three walls and falling into the flying smoke and dust. The gap between the second level and the third level is so exaggerated. Fei Ya frowned when he saw it, and immediately took out the steam core given to him by the Platinum Knight, preparing to temporarily stimulate the third level of power. But at this moment. An extremely cold aura locked onto him from a high place. Feiya raised her head stiffly. ?His father, "Viper" Quinn, was on the roof of a house, watching him with his snake-like eyes. Fei Ya, you must remember this night well. Because today is the day of your new life! Fei Ya suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked coldly: "What exactly do you want to do?" You seem to have regarded these lowly humans as your companions, which is good... Quinn had a satisfied smile on his lips: "The tighter the bond, the more severe the pain will be when it is severed." Only pain that is intense enough can make you transform and be reborn. However, Ill give you a chance. With that said, Quinn pointed to Randy beside Fei Ya: "If you drain the blood of the human next to you now, I will let everyone else go and transform them into our kindred." Feiya''s face was pale, but she just glared at Quinn silently. It seems that you made the wrong choice. Quinn shrugged. Uh ah Immediately, a survivor covered his throat in horror, and a line of blood silently cut off his head. Quinn smiled and said, "This is the first one." Suddenly, a blue figure quietly appeared behind him. ?The dagger in his hand pierced his back of the heart without any obstruction! Good space secret technique, but...it can only go so far. As soon as the words fell, Quinn''s body instantly turned into a pool of blood. Behind Alyssa, a big pale hand stabbed forward suddenly! But this attack also failed. Alyssa''s figure disintegrated into blue light spots and disappeared from the same place. Oh? Its better than I thought. "But you can hide, these guys...can they hide?" Quinn''s chuckle came from Feiya''s side, making his hair suddenly stand up, and he thought of a terrible possibility. "No" A line of blood appeared on Randy''s neck. He looked at Fei Ya helplessly and blankly, and murmured: "Mr. Fei Ya..." Immediately, warm blood fell on Feiya''s face. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to that night more than ten years ago. ?His right hand and left leg were chopped off by this man, and his mother, who was trying to protect him, fell in a pool of blood. Anger, fear, despair ?All his efforts seemed to be in vain. ?The gods he believed in did not perform any miracles of their own. Is everything over here? Or am I wrong from the beginning? At the next moment. ??The white-gold steam core in Feiya''s hand suddenly began to vibrate, and a low roar and roar came from it. Like his unyielding and tenacious soul! Youve held on long enough, now its our turn. In midair, a low voice attracted the attention of everyone present. People look up. ??In the **** moonlight, a deep and dark figure stood standing, with an indescribable temperament lingering around him. Shadow without form? Quinn''s tone was slightly surprised, but only "somewhat". He smiled contemptuously and said: "You are indeed capable of returning from the place of exile." But even you cant defeat me. According to his understanding, the [Shadowless Shadow] only has second-level combat power at best. How can it be the opponent of two third-level secret pathers? Of course its not enough for me alone. But what if plus this? ?Shaan took out a strange mechanical device, placed it close to his waist, and pressed the button to wake it up. Carles, the time has come to fulfill your promise. I see. ?Carlesss voice sounded in his heart. The next second. White steam spurts out from the mechanical device and covers the surface of the body. Following that, countless complicated gears, levers, pipes... grew and spread crazily in a shape that fit his body. The highly active steel and brass turned into pieces of armor, greedily absorbing the power of steam, becoming tougher and extraordinary, emitting a white-gold light. The violent and surging secret power surges in every transmission mechanism. Soon, steam and machinery sang hymns in unison... A new figure wearing platinum armor appeared in everyone''s eyes. As we all know, armor is for wearing! This scene has a very "transformation" artistic conception! (End of this chapter) Chapter 105 Quinns death! (2-in-1) Chapter 105 Quinns Death! (2-in-1) After the steam gradually dissipates. ?A brand-new armor with platinum as the main color and composed entirely of steel, alloys, and gears stands in the **** moonlight. What is different from before is that its chest, arm guards, limbs and other parts are engraved with blood-colored ominous lines. ?There are many deep and dark branches spreading around each **** vein. The previous "holy" and "clean" are gone, but instead have a mysterious and profound temperament. ??Yes, this is exactly what Shane came up with to win. ?At that time, the question he asked Carles was about some of the characteristics of this armor. ?Shaan came up with this plan after learning that this armor could sleep for a short period of time, could be worn by secret travelers, and could have the effect of one plus one being greater than two. In this way, you can avoid the restrictions of [Exile Brand] and let Shane use [Deep Sea Diving] to take Carles back to the Blood Moon Secret Realm in advance. Secondly, after putting on the armor, they also have the combat power to compete with two third-level powerhouses! What about the blood lines? ?Seeing this somewhat different [Platinum Knight], Quinn''s expression changed slightly. But as soon as he sensed it, he smelled a familiar scent from the blood-colored lines of the armor, and sneered. It turns out to be the original blood curse left by Winston. No wonder you want to lend your power to this boy! Im afraid you dont even have half of your original strength now, right? Think you can defeat me with the power of the Shapeless Shadow? You are naive! Quinn waved his hand, and countless **** threads appeared in the moonlight, turning into a large net that covered the sky and the sun, and suddenly closed in on Xia En! You are the one who is naive. The moment the words fell, the steam pipe behind Xia En suddenly erupted, bringing a strong boost, causing it to explode at an unprecedented high speed. ?The Blood Demonic Sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed forward with the sword! ??The blood web all over the sky could not stop the sharp edge of this sword at all, and was directly divided into two. At the same time, accompanied by the roaring and scorching air waves, the white-gold figure had already arrived in front of Quinn! Boom! ?From Sean''s right arm, steam of high temperature and high pressure pours out, baptizing Quinn''s whole body. Even if it loses its original sacred properties, this steam is still lethal to living creatures. ?Furthermore, another profound and mysterious power that is difficult to detect is also quietly hidden in it. Quinn''s face was gloomy, his body swayed, and he teleported above Xia En. The steam only left some burning marks on his body surface, but did not cause much damage. Xia Ens lips curved into a smile. 1 The hunt has begun, but the prey is unaware of it. Xia En''s movements did not pause at all, and he waved gently to Fei Ya beside him. ?The steam core that was sent out roared with joy and flew into his body on its own. ?With a burst of friction and meshing between gears and levers, the core became part of the platinum armor again. ?Xia En suddenly felt as if his body was complete, and increasingly powerful power flowed throughout his body, faintly resonating with his soul. The surface of the entire armor exudes a faint platinum brilliance, and its aura is rising again. ?At this moment, Xia En truly reached his peak state! "protect yourself." After leaving these words to Fei Ya, Xia En stepped on the ground, using steam as his wings, like a white-gold stream of light, soaring straight into the sky! But at this moment. ?Another blood shadow whizzed over, and a huge blood-colored sickle drew a crescent-shaped blood light in mid-air. Hahaha, Faceless Shadow, let me see if you are truly immortal! The blood sickles harsh laughter sounded at the same time. The sickle collided with the magic sword, and the air vibrated and buzzed. In an instant, both weapons seemed to emit a sharp and piercing wail, trying to devour and absorb the other! ??At the moment when the two were wrestling, Quinn quietly walked out in the moonlight behind Xia En, the blood in his hand piercing his heart like a poisonous snake. simultaneously! ?Steam suddenly shot out from behind the armor, forcing Quinn to teleport away again. ?At the same time, Xia En exerted all his strength and struck away the blood sickle in front of him with a sword. ?His goggles glowed with red light, and he sneered coldly: "Quinn, can you only do sneak attacks?" As long as you can win, it doesnt matter what means you use. Only the one who survives to the end is the winner! A cold light flashed in Quinn''s eyes, and he and the Blood Scythe attacked back and forth again. Facing two third-level mystics at the same time, Xia En''s pressure suddenly increased. ?However, the situation on the scene seems to be two against one, but in fact, it is two against two! The area illuminated by the blood moon is the home ground of the vampires. That weird teleportation ability is achieved with the help of moonlight. Inside the moist and hot armor, Carles''s hoarse voice sounded in Shane''s ears. I can temporarily open the steam field to block the influence of the blood moon. Steam field? ?Xia En was a little surprised. In his impression, the existence of [Field] should be an ability that can only be mastered by higher-level secret path practitioners. It''s just a poor imitation of "field", but it also has some extraordinary characteristics. However, if they cannot be killed within the duration of the steam field, the steam core will fall into a temporary state of exhaustion. ??Carles asked: [Have you decided to go up? The corners of Xia Ens mouth raised slightly: Of course! As you wish, my temporary master. Dang! clang! clang! The next moment, three powerful bells sounded throughout the steam armor. In the armor, five heart-like steam cores roared and hissed, urging all parts to operate at the highest efficiency. They are singing, praying, and roaring, calling out to the God of Steam and Steel for their extraordinary power. Boom ??The white steam swept across like a tsunami, shrouding Shane, Blood Scythe and Quinn... In the city below. Fei Ya is using steam magic, trying his best to save Randy beside him. ??This kind of wound that was close to cutting his throat should have killed him on the spot, but maybe he didn''t deserve to die, and he still had one breath left! Under the influence of steam magic and potions, the blood line on Randy''s neck slowly healed, and his vital signs stabilized. Seeing this, Fei Ya breathed a sigh of relief. But his expression was still solemn, and he couldn''t help but look at the white steam high up. Not only Fei Ya, but also Loren, who was gasping for breath in the ruins, Duran, who was covered in scars, and Alyssa, whose face was pale and almost bloodless... Even the many powerful vampires in the city were staring in that direction. ?Everyone knows that the outcome of this battle will determine their life or death! From the white steam, terrifying roars and roars like wild beasts were heard. The air waves generated by the surge of steam, the dark red sword light, and the looming figure... are all destroying taller buildings with ease. In the aftermath, surrounding houses collapsed one after another. It shook and then crashed to the ground. Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the earth was shaking. ?And it has almost affected the entire city. What frightened everyone even more was that the collision in the steam became more and more violent. ?Under the escaping violent secret power, cracks seemed to be spreading in the seemingly distant night sky! The sky is cracking? Loren muttered to himself dully: "This kind of power..." ?Dulans face was filled with disbelief, and he thought in his mind: Lord Carles, who has always been arrogant, would actually allow the faceless shadow to enter his body? Moreover, this strength seems to be stronger than before! In his impression, [Platinum Knight] has never had a driver, but now, it has exerted more powerful combat power in the hands of [Shadowless Shadow]? With a crackle in the air. In the steam, there were suddenly two overlapping figures, falling suddenly downwards! ?Hiyas pupils narrowed. ??He saw the iron fist in the white-gold armor falling on the pale Quinn, carrying an unstoppable force and hitting the ground like a meteorite! The landing point of the two people was surprisingly the dark castle named [Red and Black]. Boom! ! ??A thunderous roar suddenly sounded from the top of the castle. The hard wall could not stop the two men from falling. The stones, floors, and vampires below were forcibly penetrated and shattered. Large holes were opened in the ceilings one after another until they fell to the ground at the bottom! As the impact spread, the structure of the entire castle began to become unstable, with countless spider web-like cracks appearing on the surface. Soon, it gradually collapsed and collapsed downwards. ?At the same time, the [Crimson Ancient Tree] imprisoned in the castle was also able to open its dense canopy. Its like breaking open the cage and breaking free from the shackles! Revealed in front of everyone with a magnificent and majestic posture! That tree is Looking at the deep red leaves and the extremely tall tree trunk, everyone was in a daze. But at this time, what they were more concerned about was the outcome of the fight between the two people under the tree. Only seen in the big pit in the center of the ruins. Suddenly, a white flame ignited in the steam of Shane''s arm, and quickly wrapped around and spread around his right fist. Turn into a blazing fist of fire! "This is?" ??Xia En could only barely recognize that this was some kind of transformation of the steam armor. But at this moment, it is obviously not the time to think about this issue. Without hesitation, he used all his strength to hit Quinn''s face underneath him hard! "No!" Quinn looked horrified, feeling a strong crisis from the fist of fire. If he is hit, he...will die! Quinn''s veins popped out, determination flashed in his eyes, and he let out a sharp whistle from his mouth. Blood Scythe! The next moment, the person below Xia En suddenly turned into a blood sickle with a somewhat dazed expression. "grown ups?" boom! The pure white flame fist fell on Xue Si''s face. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! ?Subsequently, amid the extremely shrill screams, the body of this third-level Mystic Pathfinder was ignited by flames and turned into a piece of pale dust. ?But at the same time, Xia En''s aura declined visibly, and the steam cores on his body fell into silence. Hahahaha Soon, Quinn''s laughter came from high up. ?His body was covered with injuries, his face was ferocious and twisted, and his breath was weak, but his tone was filled with strong pride. Xue Sickle, your death is worth it. The one who survives to the end is me! Shadow without appearance, without the help of Carles, you are just a piece of fish on the chopping board. ?Seeing this scene, the nearby survivors all felt their hearts sinking to the bottom. They can all see that Quinn used some secret technique to let the blood sickle bear the final killing move of [Shadow of the Faceless] on his behalf. At this time, [Shadowless Shadow] seems to have no strength to fight anymore. Quinn''s injuries healed quickly under the blood moon. But suddenly, a roar sounded behind Quinn. Amid people''s surprised gazes, Feiya held the [Titan''s Grip] and fired at Quinn without flinching. Such an attack would naturally not cause any harm to Quinn, but it would make his expression become more gloomy and distorted. "Why...why don''t you surrender to your fate and become a greater being?" Why do you have to disobey me again and again and embark on the path of self-destruction? In response to this, Feiya just said without changing her face: "I have said the reason many times." My path is up to me to choose! Boom! There was another cannon blast. Quinn turned slightly to the side and casually avoided the attack of the steam gun. A flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "You are unrepentant. In this case, I will send you to be buried with them!" But at this moment, Xia En''s voice came from the steam armor. "It''s almost time, Viper Quinn, it''s time for you to hit the road." Hearing this, Quinn sneered: "Still bluffing? What else can you do now..." ?Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. ?In his perception, translucent and deep tentacles emerged from the corners in all directions. They whispered and murmured without concealing their malice. ?Chaotic and disorderly auditory hallucinations echoed in Quinn''s ears, and restless hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. He tried to resist, tried to struggle. ?However, there were too many tentacles around him, and in just an instant, they submerged Quinn''s body like a wave. The sharp teeth cut through his body, sucking his blood and gnawing at his flesh. The pain is transmitted from every part of the skin to the brain, and the suffocating feeling caused by binding and squeezing is transmitted from the throat... The last moment before consciousness dissipates. Quinn looked at the source of the tentacles. A deep, dark figure was standing among thousands of tentacles, looking at him calmly. He asked in fear and despair: "You, what on earth are you..." 1164 (Called) If you can help me verify the power of this move, you deserve to die. ?Xia En looked at Quinn who fell down and sighed in his heart. Everyone looked at the scene blankly and blankly, not knowing what had happened. In their eyes, there are actually no tentacles of darkness at all. Some of them just suddenly let out a shrill wail, with the skin and flesh all over his body torn open and blood flowing everywhere, and finally "Viper" Quinn strangled himself alive! However, before people could breathe a sigh of relief, changes occurred again. The blood moon hanging high in the night suddenly opened its eyes! That''s...the gaze of the Scarlet Lord! Thanks to "Yuewuxinghen" for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much! Take a break today and prepare for the end of this volume, as well as the outline of the new volume! (Bang bang bang!) (End of this chapter) Chapter 106 The secret realm collapsed, the ancient tree’s last wish! Chapter 106 The secret realm collapses, the ancient trees last wish! Look, the blood moon in the sky! "That is" The changes in the night sky naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. The next moment, the **** moonlight shining down also changed strangely as it opened its eyes. ?Every ray of moonlight seems to be filled with hidden malice and murderous intent, permeating every corner of the city. A strong warning suddenly arose in people''s hearts, and their hearts beat rapidly, as if some kind of disaster was coming. "what happened?" Its so itchy Suddenly, one of the survivors felt an itching sensation on the skin on his face. He couldn''t help but reach out and touch it, only to find that his palms were covered in blood. ??More and more blood streaks, drawn by the blood moon in the sky, seeped out from their body surfaces. Some of the weaker survivors even felt like their blood was uncontrollable. ??And the corpses that died in the previous battle actually melted like candles under the **** moonlight, making the moonlight look even more eerie. The Scarlet Lord? Xia En frowned: "Could it be said that it was the work of the vampires?" But what surprised him was that the vampires not far away also showed frightened expressions under the scarlet moon. ? ? Bloody mist kept rising from their bodies, blending into the moonlight, making their faces paler. It''s like...the Scarlet Lord is absorbing the power of the Vampires? Lord, why are you!? Is this your punishment? What did we do wrong? A famous old vampire was in tears with disbelief on his face. The other vampires were also panic-stricken, but were unable to resist. Xia En is determined to do something else. ?But Carles did not respond. The power of the ship''s soul on the panel (5/100) also means that he has reached his limit and this submarine voyage is about to end. Even with the help of Carles, it is still a bit reluctant for a second-level body to fight against two third-level experts. Just when everyone was at a loss and despair was gradually rising in their hearts. A violent vibration suddenly came from the ground beneath people''s feet. ?This shaking was so violent that horrific cracks criss-crossed the surface. ?It was as if the ground of the entire city was about to turn over, and as if a soul that had been imprisoned for hundreds of years was roaring unyieldingly and angrily. Crimson ancient tree Xia En was shocked. He raised his head and looked at the ancient giant tree beside him. At this time, the ancient tree was stretching its body, and dark red blood was rushing through its body. Under the action of this mysterious force, like the roots of an angry dragon surging underground, the solid tree trunks continue to grow and extend upward, and the lush crown of the tree rises and expands outwards visible to the naked eye. The distance between it and the Blood Moon is constantly shortening, as if it is launching a desperate revenge on the Scarlet Lord! Xia En had a clear understanding in his heart. ?The old castle named [Red and Black] may itself be one of the seals to the ancient crimson tree. ?At present, the old castle is destroyed, and the Scarlet Lord happens to cast his gaze. Naturally, the Crimson Ancient Tree will not miss such an opportunity. In an instant, two very similar yet different mysterious forces collided in the sky. Like a ferocious beast, gnawing and killing in the most primitive way. ?This level of fighting is completely beyond the understanding of everyone present. Fortunately, due to the struggle of the [Crimson Ancient Tree], the strange power in the **** moonlight has been reduced, allowing people to act normally. But the good times did not last long. Soon, a survivor looked at the sky in horror. Not good! The sky, the sky is going to collapse! I saw cracks gradually appearing in the dark night sky, and quickly connected into one. ?There is a vague, weird substance that is seeping into this secret realm. Obviously, the battle between the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and the [Scarlet Lord] has exceeded the upper limit of what this secret realm can accommodate, causing the barrier connected to the [Secret Sea] to begin to break. Anyone with a clear eye can see it - The collapse of [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is only a matter of time! People immediately thought that the way to the outside world should be within the castle. ?Although the castle was destroyed by the battle, the passage may still be buried under the ruins. ?After some searching, everyone quickly discovered an extremely huge black coffin. ?It was not lying flat on the ground, but standing strangely in place. Even though the ground shook, it still did not fall down. ?The dark coffin was more like a closed door. ?Alyssa, who is quite accomplished in space mysteries, walked to the coffin. After sensing it for a moment, she showed a surprised look. Yes, this is the passage out of the Blood Moon Secret Realm! Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and rushed towards the coffin door. As for secret treasures and magic potions, they didn''t dare to think about it. Surviving this [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was already a blessing among misfortunes. But on the other side, Xia En did not leave immediately. ?Amidst the sound of steam releasing pressure, [Platinum Knight] Carles released the combined state and was separated from his body. It was a hearty battle. Its also a pleasant collaboration. ? Carles stretched out his hand to Shane and said with emotion: "Without you, this operation would have ended in failure, and I would have been trapped in that dark and dark place." Thank you, Shameless Shadow. ??Xia En shook hands with him and chuckled: "It''s a pleasure to cooperate." ?Then, Carles said: "By the way, there is one more thing." Are you interested in joining the Federation and working with us? With your abilities, you should be able to thrive in the navy. ?Shaan was stunned for a moment. Obviously, this was an olive branch extended by Carles to him. To be honest, he did have a moment of excitement in his heart. It is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade. According to the Federation official, it is undoubtedly the largest tree in the Seven Seas. On the other hand, with the existence of [Deep Sea Diving], continuous adventure and exploring new sea areas, it seems that this is the life he yearns for. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "Maybe there will be such a day in the future? But now, that is not my intention." Thats really a shame. ? Carles sighed: "I quite like you. After all, you are the first man to enter my body." ?Shaan: Why does this sound so strange? Hahaha, just kidding. However, machines have no gender, or...do you prefer me to speak in this voice? ?Carless laughed, but when he said the second half of the sentence, his hoarse voice suddenly turned into a slightly cold female voice. "Isn''t this a good sound? There are many young men in the Federation who are fascinated by me." ?Shaan had a strange expression. ?The character of this [Platinum Knight] seems to be much more different than he originally imagined? Okay, Shameless Shadow, Im leaving with my companions, youd better evacuate as soon as possible. ?Carless continued to speak in a cold female voice. If were lucky, well meet again in the future. After saying that, the white-gold armor waved his hand, turned around and walked towards other official members of the federation. ??After watching their figures enter the black coffin door, Xia En still had no intention of leaving. He looked up at the [Crimson Ancient Tree] high up and whispered to himself: "Old tree, let me give you a helping hand." He was going to climb to the height of the ancient tree and use the power of the [Hui Cult Amulet] to attract some of the Scarlet Lord''s attention. ?Even if this is likely to have little effect, it will not have much impact on the situation. But the [Crimson Ancient Tree] gave him a lot of help at the back of the secret realm. It was obviously worth risking the life of the projection body for this. at the same time. In the ruins of the old castle, there is still one person who has not left the secret realm. Feiya stood in front of Quinn''s corpse, with a somewhat complicated expression on her face. ??Of course he was not hurt by Quinn''s death. In fact, it was a scene he wanted to see more than ten years ago. I just dont know why, but I finally realized my dream of more than ten years, completed my revenge on my father, and got rid of the heavy constraints and shackles on my body. Feiya didn''t feel relieved, but felt empty. There is no direction or goal. Dont know what to do next. Huge nothingness enveloped Feiya''s heart. He just watched the sky crack and the ground collapse quietly, and an idea came to his mind. Its better to just disappear with this secret realm But at this moment, Fei Ya caught a glimpse of a climbing figure out of the corner of his eye. Shameless Shadow? Why hasnt he left yet? Wait, does he want to... ?On the constantly crumbling earth and in the messy and broken sky, tiny black shadows climbed up along the tall and majestic ancient trees, approaching the blood moon in the sky step by step. ?This move seemed crazy and stupid, but it gave Fei Ya a strong impact inexplicably, stimulating his heart to beat fast and the blood in his body to be restless. Yes, the source of his tragic fate is not Quinn, but the aloof Scarlet Lord! ?Although he is weak and humble now, what if one day he can pull that ugly and abominable **** off his altar? ?This idea grew like a weed in Feiya''s mind. Suddenly, a deep scar appeared on the surface of the [Crimson Ancient Tree], and thick blood flowed down the trunk. Obviously, in the battle with the Scarlet Lord, it finally fell into a disadvantage. The roar of unwillingness resounded in the hearts of Xia En and Fei Ya. Subsequently, it dropped its branches to the two of them. On the branches are heavy fruits. High up, Xia En heard what it wanted to express from the flow of blood. Leave the seeds offuturevengeance? Xia En nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will follow your wishes." He picked the fruit, and then, gently pulled by the branches, he came to the black coffin on the ground. ?At the same time, Feiya was also sent here. When the two saw each other, they were both slightly startled. Then they looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the black coffin door together. The next moment, the dark and clear water of the secret sea poured into the crack. The entire Blood Moon Secret Realm collapsed! ?But soon, Feiya stopped laughing. the reason is simple- He cant swim! To be precise, the mechanical prosthesis he was wearing was too heavy. If he fell into the sea, it would continue to sink. ??And the exit of the black coffin door happens to be in the sea water shrouded by the blood moon. ?In just a moment, Fei Ya drank several mouthfuls of sea water. ?Seeing that he was about to drown miserably here, a deep and dark figure grabbed his arm and took him away from the bottom of the sea. ! After a muffled sound, Feiya was thrown onto the deck of a ship. ?As soon as he opened his eyes, he was stunned. Captain Shane? Thanks to altis74 for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much! (End of this chapter) Chapter 107 Third crew member, a new journey! Chapter 107 The third crew member, a new journey! Captain Shane? Feiya opened her eyes and coughed up a few mouthfuls of sea water. Then she looked around and saw familiar faces. Xia En pretended not to know and asked in surprise: "Why were you thrown out of the sea?" "Ah I" Fei Ya tried hard to recall the situation just now and murmured: "Did the Faceless Shadow save me?" He raised his head and looked at Xia En in front of him with a strange expression. ?From the appearance point of view, Xia En and Wumao Zhiying were obviously very different, but he somehow felt that there was some strange similarity between the two of them. Feiya had this feeling when he saw the Faceless Shadow for the first time. "How could it be such a coincidence that it happened to land on Captain Shane''s Black Swan?" Moreover, he has stayed in this sea area even though he has not entered the Blood Moon Secret Realm? Is it just a coincidence? Could it be that Feiya''s thoughts were ups and downs, and he vaguely guessed the truth, but he was a smart young man, so he just said something without leaving any trace. Thank you, Captain Shane. Xia En looked at Fei Ya and asked, "What are your plans next?" I think the ships on Silver Moon Island seem to be looking for you? At this time, many survivors were crawling back to their boats from the sea. Some small boats could not wait to escape from the sea area, and an uproar could also be heard on large pirate ships. ?Think about it carefully. For a dangerous expedition like this, most ships must only send their elite men to the sea. ?Now, they brought the truth about the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] back to the ship, which naturally aroused the excitement of other crew members. ?Amid the chaos, the most eye-catching Viper was cruising slowly, as if searching for some target. ?Hearing Xia En''s question, Fei Ya was stunned for a moment and began to think about this serious issue. It is impossible to return to Silver Moon Island. ??Although Viper Quinn is dead, there are still a large number of vampires on the island who control all aspects of power on the entire island. ??If you return to the island, you will most likely be treated as a thorn in your side, a thorn in your side, and eventually end up being assassinated. ?Furthermore, after finally escaping from one prison, why bother entering another? ?So, there seems to be only one answer. But when the words came to her lips, Fei Ya felt inexplicably inferior, or in other words, it was a fear of happiness and freedom. Many people who grow up in dysfunctional families will have this kind of "fear." Everything in the past is wrapped around them like heavy shackles. Even if the person who imposed the shackles is no longer around, the shackles will not be easily released. At this moment, Xia En asked very bluntly. In that case, Ill just say it straight away. Would you like to stay on my ship and become the third crew member of the Black Swan? Feiya hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to tell you, I am a vampire who does not drink blood. Sometimes I need to drink to relieve my thirst for blood." "I know." I dont have a very good personality, Im a bit irritable, and Ill beat people up if they make me unhappy. "oh." There are still many vampires in the Seven Seas Federation. They may want to hunt me down and cause you a lot of trouble. Is there such a good thing? My steam engine makes noise, and my research is expensive ??Xia En interrupted Fei Ya''s words, looked into his eyes seriously, and said: "I don''t care about those things. I only want to ask you one thing -" Will you come with me? Feiya was speechless, then nodded heavily: "Of course, my captain!" ?At this moment, Joey on the side exclaimed: "Captain, it''s bad!" The Viper, the Viper is coming towards us! "Um?" ?Xia En immediately turned his head and looked behind him, his pupils shrinking involuntarily. ?On the sea not far away, I saw a huge ship with a small semi-steel structure, which was rapidly speeding up and rushing towards the direction of the Black Swan. ?Its momentum is extremely fierce, and it has no regard for the ships along its way. A "boom" sound! A smaller pirate ship was directly hit by the bow of the Viper. The entire ship broke directly from the waist and sank quickly into the sea. At the same time, the momentum of the [Viper] did not slow down at all, and it accelerated straight forward. Are the people on that boat crazy? ?Xia En frowned slightly, walked to the rudder of the ship without hesitation, and ordered in his heart. Xiao Hei, move forward at full speed! Yes, Master! Xiao Hei, who had not received an order from Xia En for a long time, immediately responded with joy. The high whistle sounded on the sea, the sails were raised, and the steam core roared... ?The [Black Swan], which had been silent for nearly a month, was finally able to make a loud neigh and cut through the waves on the sea. It seems like youre having a hard time enduring it too Xia En chuckled lightly: "But I can finally leave this hellish place." ?However, it was obvious that the [Viper] at the rear did not intend to let him go so easily. Captain of that ship, stop the ship now and leave Master Fei Ya behind! Otherwise, you will be an enemy of our Silver Moon Island! The sound amplified by some kind of loudspeaker device came out from the Viper. This is the final warning! If you dont stop the ship, we will open fire! Hearing this, Feiya''s expression changed slightly, but when he turned to look at Xia En, he found that there was no fear on the captain''s face, but a wanton smile. So what if we are enemies of Silver Moon Island? Ah Pao, shoot the **** out of me! Boom! The roar of artillery. A cannonball accurately landed on the sea next to the Viper, stirring up a high water column. But Xia En turned his head in surprise. Because, this shell was not fired from the [Black Swan]! Not far away, a pirate ship with thunder painted on its sails was approaching the Viper from the flank. It is the [Thunder Horn]! ?Not just it, the [Aquila], [Siren]...and other ships of all sizes surrounded the [Viper] with a siege. Although the captain of the Sky Eagle turned to the vampires, the pirates on the ship did not know it. They only thought that the Blood Moon Secret Realm had killed the captain and the elite on the ship, so they naturally wanted to avenge them. Obviously, the scam [Blood Moon Secret Realm] has aroused public outrage! The relatives and friends of the sailors who died in the secret realm must wash away this hatred with their blood! ?Seeing this scene, the current captain of the [Viper] was obviously panicked and shouted through the loudspeaker. Federal hunting ship, why are you just watching? This is a challenge to the authority of the Federation! ??But the hunting boats remained indifferent and just stayed on the outskirts of the sea area. They neither attacked the Viper nor blocked the pirates'' actions. The captain of [Viper] finally gave up, and then continued to speed up regardless, rushing towards [Black Swan]. Other ships opened fire on it, taking the opportunity to attack the huge steel ship. In an instant, artillery pieces roared and roared. ?The cannonballs screamed, and columns of water exploded on the sea. Although the Viper was the one being besieged, its size and firepower were there, and it still had the upper hand in the battle. In other words, it is the master of this sea area! The object of its focus is the seemingly petite and pitiful [Black Swan]. However, what surprised many captains was that this small ship actually showed amazing resilience under the attack of the Viper! ?The suddenly accelerated speed and erratic trajectory easily dodged the attacks of most cannonballs. Even if one or two cannonballs fall on the hull, it is like hitting an invisible barrier, and the power is greatly reduced. Even [Black Swan] still has time to counterattack [Viper]! ?Those cannonballs were like angry ghosts, making a chilling whisper as they rushed out of the barrel, streaking through the air with dark streams of light, and hitting the Viper''s hull heavily. Cause damage that cannot be ignored. After a dangerous and exciting chase, the [Black Swan] came to the sea where there were no other ships to block it. Immediately afterwards, with the triumphant sound of the whistle, it escaped from the pursuit of the Viper and sailed further to the sea. It didnt take long. On a calm sea. Xia En looked at the Viper, whose shadow could no longer be seen, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Why do you still want to catch up with my [Black Swan]? Compared to the pursuit of the [Yousui Descendants] in the Promotion Ritual, this chase did not have too much pressure. ?However, under the fierce bombardment, there were still some injuries on the [Black Swan]. ?For example, a cannonball hit a corner of the deck and made a medium-sized hole. ifier At this time, Fei Ya looked at the damage on the deck with a surprised look on his face, and a flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Visible to the naked eye, the wooden boards are growing and repairing themselves, returning to their original appearance. This ship can actually repair itself? ?Joy next to him said calmly: "Isn''t this normal?" ǣ He couldn''t help but asked cautiously: "And, I remember, the captain was the only one driving the ship just now?" Then who controls the steam turbine and the sail, and who fires the cannon? ??Joy looked at him strangely and said in a matter-of-fact tone. Of course its Mr. Captain! Otherwise, how could it be us? Feiya''s eyelids twitched slightly, feeling that this girl with white hair and red eyes seemed to be unusual, so she turned to look at the knight in armor beside her and asked. Is this a normal thing on this ship? Ann took out a pen and paper and wrote in correct handwriting. No need to be surprised, everything is business as usual on Black Swan. ǣ He now has some doubts. Did he misunderstand the meaning of the word "normal"? It seems like you guys are having a great time chatting. Come on, let me introduce you... Xia En came over at the right time and introduced himself to each of them so that the three of them could get familiar with each other. By the way, he also checked Fei Yas panel. Crew: Fei Ya (unbound) Race: Vampire (can be converted into Holy Vampire) Secret Career: Priest (Level 2) Talent: can be viewed after binding Skill: Can be viewed after binding Description: A handsome young man, a believer in the God of Steam, a vampire who has never drank blood, and has in-depth research on machinery, steam, and the human body. With his help, maybe the entire ship can be transformed into a steel battleship, right? "Um?" ?Shaan noticed the "holy blood race" in the "race" and was a little surprised. Viper Quinn seems to have been emphasizing that Fei Yas bloodline is special. Could it be related to it? Or, can the fruit given by the [Crimson Ancient Tree] improve his bloodline? ?Xia En thought casually, but his thoughts were inexplicably divergent. Speaking of which, there are now succubi, sea tribes, sea monsters, elves, vampires, and ancient dragons on this ship..." Hiss, a guide to the evaluation of alien crew members, right? At this time, Joey asked curiously: "Mr. Captain, where are we going now?" ?This question reminded Xia En. For the captain, future planning is also very important. He thought in his mind: "First of all, we should go back to the Coral City, set up a [Submarine Anchor], and help the Queen quickly clear the palace dungeon." To be honest, when he was promoting the ritual, Xia En also thought about setting the [anchor point] under the secret sea. But not to mention the extremely urgent situation at the time, there was little time to think while submersing. On the other hand, the difficulty of the [Secret Sea] dungeon is currently too high for him. ??It''s like going straight to fight the final BOSS when you just released the novice dungeon. Basically, you will end up being defeated instantly, and the benefits of submersion are not high. Xia En plans to wait until he reaches the third level and the fourth level, then look at the situation and decide whether to leave the [Anchor Point] in the secret sea. The problem now is. After leaving Coral City, which direction should we go? Is it [Rusty Wasteland]? Or [Siren Islands]? Or other large underwater ruins? (End of this chapter) Chapter 108 With the magic potion in hand, Feiya transforms! Chapter 108: Obtaining the magic potion, Feiya transforms! ?Sha En would regard [Rusted Waste City] and [Siren Islands] as the planned exploration location, not out of nowhere, but premeditated. It is well known. There are a large number of steam creations from the previous era in [Rusty Waste City], and it has a very high level of steam technology. ??In the past, Shane might not have been able to make good use of these inheritances. But now that Feiya, who is both a priest and a mechanic, is on board, there is no doubt that the [Black Swan] can complete further transformation. The current hull of [Black Swan] is mainly made of sea crystal wood. ??Although the keel has been strengthened and this wood is said to be tough and excellent, there is still a big gap compared with real steel and metal. In fact, the reason why Xia En piloted the "Black Swan" to escape from Silver Moon Island was not to confront the "Viper" head-on. It is because the performance of the two ships is still not at the same level. The huge size and the hull covered with steel... all give the [Viper] a higher fault tolerance rate. Simply put, [The Viper] has a thicker health bar and higher defense! Even if it stands still and lets the [Black Swan] shell it, it probably wont be able to sink it even if it runs out of ammunition. ?Xia En is naturally a little envious of this kind of defense. ?His next goal is to modify the [Black Swan] into a steel battleship similar to the [Viper]! Since the body shape is difficult to change, use faster speed, harder armor, and more powerful artillery to make up for it! The best place to obtain metal materials is [Rust Waste City]. As for [Siren Islands] ?This also talks about the azure scale that Alyssa gave to Sean at that time. Siren''s Scale Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: A piece of tail scale of the sea monster, which contains some mysterious power. Those who hold this scale will be inspired by the "Siren Islands". "The Siren Islands" are not fixed islands in the sea. They are hidden in patches of thick fog and wander along the seven seas with the thick fog. Often unfortunate ships stray into the fog, are seduced by the siren''s song, and remain there forever. It was precisely because of the existence of these scales that Xia En wanted to visit the [Siren Islands]. On the one hand, it is for Joeys long-cherished wish. ?On the other hand, its pure curiosity. ? ? After calming down his complicated thoughts, Xia En began to count the gains from this trip to the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Not only has the ships spirit level been raised to LV3, and he has taken up the second-level hidden profession [Deep Sea Favorite], he has also gained a new crew member. This trip is really worth it! The corners of Xia En''s mouth raised slightly, feeling happy and relaxed. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this... ?His consciousness fell on the space ring, where a deep red, plump and magnificent fruit was lying quietly there. Crimson Reality (Special) Quality: Epic Type: Material Description: The fruit produced by the "Crimson Ancient Tree" is also its reward and gift to you. The fruit contains a large amount of life essence, as well as the special secret power of blood. ??After taking it, it can heal injuries, enhance vitality, and improve the quality of "blood power". It can also replace "Sea Clam Blood" as a potion material for promotion to the third level. The seeds under the pulp contain part of the soul and will of the "Crimson Ancient Tree". Buried in soil rich in life, maybe similar but different creatures can sprout, right? Purple epic! From this point of view alone, this fruit is already a trophy of the same level as [Ancient Dragons Egg]. And its description surprised Xia En even more. Needless to say, its own effect is in line with Xia En''s imagination of this fruit. The key is that it can replace a magic potion required for the promotion of [Deep Sea Favorite]. In the state of [Call of the Deep Sea], not only the [Fitness] is marked, but also several required potion materials are given. There are three main materials, namely [Nether Sea Clam Blood], [Celestial Star Sea Star] and [Black Stone Essence]. ?There are still several fragmentary auxiliary materials left. But to be honest, except for the [Black Stone Essence], Xia En has heard about it before. ??He has never even heard of other potion ingredients, let alone knowing them! At the moment, it is undoubtedly good news that [Crimson Reality] can replace one of the rare materials. However, in this case, the restrictions on potion materials may not be so strict. As long as it has some similar characteristics and secret power, maybe it can be replaced? ?Xia Ens thoughts diverged for a moment and fell back on [Crimson Reality]. He was vaguely aware that there was a weak, ancient, sleeping consciousness in the seeds deep inside the fruit. When given the right environment, it should be able to sprout and take on new vitality. ?After realizing that he could not defeat the Scarlet Lord in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], [Crimson Ancient Tree] adopted another method to escape from the dark cage. Xia En secretly promised: "I will help you find a good growing environment and let you regain your life and freedom." Not long. After having a welcome dinner. Feiya came to the cabin arranged for him by Xia En. ?The room was very empty, so empty that it was a bit simple and shabby, with only a bed and a small cupboard. Compared with the luxurious decoration in the castle, I dont know how much it is inferior. ??But Fei Ya didn''t dislike it at all, but felt a long-lost peace of mind. C ?Milli and Dutch made a slight buzzing sound, as if they were whispering to him. Well, thats right, from now on, this is our new home. Fei Ya smiled and responded to the doubts of the two steam cores. "Huh? We said there is a scary guy deep in the cabin. Do you want me to be careful?" Isnt that so? Feiya was just about to deny it, but couldn''t help but think of the unusual characteristics of the ship, and her expression was a little weird. ?This ship is different from any ship he knows. It is like a living giant beast! When she thought that she would serve as a steam mechanic or repairman on this ship in the future, Feiya suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Oh, and that fruit Fei Ya took out the [Crimson Reality] from the space ring. ?This fruit is slightly different from Xia En''s. The color is a bit lighter and there are no seeds inside. But for Fei Ya, it also has a very strong attraction. It was as if...the blood in the body was strongly craving for it. That ancient tree should be the enemy of the Scarlet Lord. It gave me this fruit because it believed that I would avenge it, or because of the special blood in my body? Feiya still has many doubts in her heart. But at the same time, he instinctively felt that this fruit was harmless to him. After thinking for a short time, Fei Ya decisively chose to eat the [Crimson Reality]. Suddenly, a miraculous change occurred in his body. At the fractures of his right arm and left leg, white bones spread out, and many small granules were entangled together to form solid muscle fibers, with delicate skin attached to them. Soon, the original mechanical prosthesis fell off and was replaced by a living and intact limb! Feiya was stunned. He felt that his bloodline was undergoing a new transformation. Without the need to drink blood, he also has a sound and vigorous body, even...more perfect than those vampires! A few days passed in the blink of an eye. ??Feiya has gradually adapted to life on the Black Swan. At the same time, his changes were not hidden from Xia Ens eyes. Feiya took off the steam prosthetic limbs, but did not abandon the two steam cores. Instead, she modified them into a pair of huge metal gloves. On the other hand, his aura is getting stronger day by day. The changes in race on the panel also prove this point. Holy Blood ?Xia En had some guesses in his mind. ?Perhaps the earliest creature born on the [Crimson Mother Tree] should be this kind of creature with sacred blood. Its just that the [Scarlet Lord] embarked on another blasphemous path, grabbing the blood of others to gain more power. Since then, the race "blood race" has been born. They are intoxicated with the sweetness of blood, but they dont know that the price of this sweet gift has already been marked on the back. The pollution hidden deep in the blood is destined to make them increasingly crazy and twisted. Faiya, who has some special characteristics and has never drank blood, was not contaminated by the pollution in the blood. Instead, under the influence of [Crimson Reality], she completed a transformation similar to that of her ancestors. ??Faiya has become stronger, and Xia En is of course happy for him - although it has not been bound yet, as long as [Captain''s Majesty] exists, the stronger the crew, the stronger the captain. This income cannot be escaped. However, after this transformation, why does this boy become more and more handsome? Looking at Fei Ya not far away, Xia En had a strange expression. ?At this time, the boy''s complexion was as fair as snow, and his crimson pupils were as bright as gems. ??The male and female features are becoming more and more delicate and beautiful, reminiscent of a black cat or rabbit, combined with his petite figure... Brother, brother Xia Ens lips twitched and he thought to himself: You should be taller! Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, he looked around at the sea. ?The sea is calm, the waves are sparkling, and the warm sea breeze makes people feel very comfortable. ?This is already the sea area of ??[Coral City], but Xia En is not in a hurry to go diving in the sea. only because Not far away, a hunting boat with a federal logo is approaching quickly! Thanks to "dio958" for the 500 coins and "Book Friends 20210811221500215" for the 100 coins! Thank you so much! (End of this chapter) Chapter 109 Coral City, I’m back Chapter 109 Coral City, Im back Hunting ship, [Petrel]! Xia En was no stranger to the ship not far away, and he saw the familiar Du Lan on the ship. He simply did not dodge and waited quietly for the other party to approach. Soon, the tiger man Duran came to the deck of the [Black Swan]. Captain Shane, Mr. Feiya, we meet again. ?Dulan greeted the two of them as usual, but his solemn expression gave both Xia En and Fei Ya some bad premonitions. Shaan thought for a moment and asked directly: "What was the result of the battle between the pirates and the Viper?" Both sides suffer losses, and it ends hastily. [The Viper]s hull was damaged and she was forced to hide in the harbor, using the artillery on the island to fight against the pirates. And the pirates also suffered heavy casualties. After a certain level of casualties, they scattered and fled. Duran said: "I guess this is also related to the fact that our hunting boat is always watching the battle." Sure enough ?Shaan was not surprised by this result. From the beginning, he did not think that the pirates would fight the Viper to the end. Even if there are three major pirate groups taking the lead, there is still a big gap in strength between the pirates and the Silver Moon Island **** ships. ?Furthermore, an unorganized and undisciplined general attack will hinder each other. In the final analysis, pirates are just a ragtag group of people after all. When the casualties continue to increase, mutiny will occur. Not to mention, there are also [hunting boats] with unknown positions watching eagerly from the side. ? Carles only said that he would not attack the pirates in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Once they leave the secret realm, the relationship between them will still be hostile! Even the [Thunder] and [Siren] did not dare to take the risk of being taken advantage of and fight to the end with Silver Moon Island. ?It was precisely because of this realization that Xia En decisively chose to evacuate. Sowhat is the Federations attitude towards Silver Moon Island? ?Xia En looked at Dulan and asked seriously. ?Dulan sighed: "The order we got this time is just to destroy the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]." Unless the [Viper] and its frigates actively attack us, we have no right to launch a general attack on Silver Moon Island. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. The Federation''s attack on the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is not, in essence, a righteous move to overthrow an evil conspiracy. It is the product of the struggle between interests and factions among the top leaders of the federation. I''m afraid...some people want to give some small warnings and punishments to the blood clan forces, so they take advantage of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Since it is a factional struggle, it naturally has to be within the rules of the game. Therefore, it is impossible to destroy the neutral status of the Federation and attack Silver Moon Island and the Viper. ?Seeing Xia En''s expression, Dulan knew that he had guessed the truth, but he still said. Lord Carles said that he will try his best to expand the influence of this matter, let the Federal Inspectorate get involved, and try the crimes of Silver Moon Island as soon as possible. But there is bad news that I have to tell you. Xia En''s heart skipped a beat: "Please speak." Just yesterday morning, Silver Moon Island, Duke Island, Gianelli Island, Narumi Islandmore than ten islands in total issued bounties on all unofficial ships participating in [Blood Moon Night]! ?Dulan said seriously: "The rewards for the captain of the pirate ship [Black Swan] Xia En and [Silver Moon Traitor] Fei Ya are 200 gold dragon coins and 300 gold dragon coins respectively!" "Pirate Ship?" ?Xia Ens expression was a little strange. Have I become a pirate? Thats right. ?Dulan smiled bitterly: "According to federal regulations, a ship wanted by more than three islands will be deemed a pirate." ?Shaan was somewhat surprised by the sudden bounty on his head. But on second thought, this is actually not difficult to understand. ?These dozen islands are probably occupied by quite a few vampire forces, and the destruction of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] obviously made them extremely angry. ??But they couldnt attack the Federation, so they had no choice but to focus on soft persimmons like the pirate ships, hoping to use them to vent their anger and establish their authority. The [Black Swan] dared to take away Fei Ya, and even dared to openly bombard the [Viper], so it was naturally included in the hunt list. but Only 200 gold dragon coins? Less than Fei Yadu? Xia En said angrily: "Who are you looking down on?" ?Dulan: "?" You must know that [Siren] Alyssa, as a long-established second-level powerhouse, has a bounty of only 150 gold dragon coins. 200 gold dragon coins is already a huge amount of money! No, who would think that the reward offered is too small? ?While he was surprised, Fei Ya next to him asked: "So, Captain Duran, do you want to arrest us?" "How can it be?" ?Dulan patted his furry chest and vowed: "Mr. Feiya saved my life several times in the secret realm. This is a life-long friendship." I have great admiration for Captain Shane, so I came to tell you this information. I have also informed the hunting boats in the nearby waters. If we encounter them, they will not take action against you. "but" ?Dulan didn''t finish what he said, but both Xia En and Fei Ya could understand his subtext. ?Dulan and Carles'' influence is limited after all. Once they go to farther seas, they are very likely to be ostracized and attacked by federal forces. ?In particular, some islands do not allow pirates to approach, which will make it difficult to supply supplies. "Actually, Mr. Carles asked me to come here for another purpose, which is to ask Mr. Feiya if he would like to hide with him for a while." After all, when the results of the trial on Silver Moon Island come out, this wanted order may also be withdrawn. ?Dulan looked at Fei Ya and sighed: "But now it seems that I don''t need to ask." Not long. Petrelis drifting further and further away on the sea, and will soon be out of sight. On the deck, Fei Ya sighed: "Captain, I have told you before that if you take me with you, you will get into big trouble." Now, do you regret it? Xia En chuckled: "Regret? It doesn''t exist!" "Isn''t it just a pirate? Since they want me to be a pirate, I will show it to them." Have you memorized the names of the islands before? Sooner or later, I will visit them one by one! Today is different from the past. ?At the beginning, Xia En didn''t dare not pay back the money he owed Duke Nova because he had to rely on the Duke''s Island to survive. But now, he already has the strength and confidence to venture at sea, and he also has his own team. Given the vastness of the ocean, where cant we go? ?However, Xia En knows very well that above the seven seas, strength is king. Only with sufficient strength can we cope with all challenges. Soon, he walked to the captain''s cabin and opened the panel with a thought. Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Start diving? Submarine, start! As the light and shadow flickered, the familiar [Coral City] appeared in front of Xia En. In the Coral City. Hela, a girl from the sea tribe, was walking through the streets with her younger brother, looking for as much food as possible. Compared with more than a month ago, her mood was obviously a little lower, and she was no longer as energetic as before. ??The younger brother next to him asked curiously: "Sister, are you still angry about what Mike and the others said?" ?Hila pulled off a clump of seaweed on the roadside with her hands, and said gloomily: "That''s right." They dont believe that I have ever seen the Divine Envoy before, but they dare to say that the Divine Envoy is dead! This is really unreasonable. The messenger of God is so powerful, how could he die? ?The younger brother scratched his head: "But it''s true that the envoy of God hasn''t appeared for a long time." Some say he has abandoned the city and will never come back. Some people say that he is not a divine messenger at all, but a well-disguised liar. Hela''s little face was a little stubborn, and she said seriously: "Whether he is a divine messenger or not, he has saved our lives and eliminated so many [polluters]." Shouldnt we be grateful to him? Thats right. The younger brother nodded, but then asked: "But what if he really doesn''t come back?" Hela pursed her lips: "No, he clearly promised Her Majesty the Queen..." ?While the siblings were talking, a monster covered in coral was quietly waking up in the surrounding buildings. Boom The size of this monster is obviously different from other [Polluters], and it is as high as three stories high. In standing up, it destroys the building in which it is imprisoned. The ground shook and smoke dispersed in the sea water. "not good!" Not far away, several Sea Clan soldiers who were patrolling quickly noticed this unusual movement and hurried over. Their movements were not unpleasant. However, the distance between the Hela siblings and this giant monster is a little too close! Hela only had time to run a few steps with her younger brother, and saw the shadow cast by the giant monster head-on. She couldn''t help but tremble all over, and despair rose in her heart. Just when the troll''s palm was about to fall. simultaneously! A bright and dazzling light group, like the sun, appeared over the city. The radiance fell, and many corals, including the giant monster, continued to melt and disintegrate in this sacred radiance, turning into pale ashes. In the midst of the falling ashes, the Hela siblings and all the sea tribes raised their heads and saw the figure standing under the ball of light. ??Obviously wearing a black robe, but with an indescribable sanctity and mystery. Like a messenger from the gods. ?The man whispered to himself: "Coral City, I''m back." Thanks to "Yu Tong Hao", "Wu Yu Tong Hao" and "Wu Yu Tong Hao" for the 100-coin reward! Brother, these three numbers are so difficult to play! (End of this chapter) Chapter 110 Explore the royal court, the storm is coming! Chapter 110 Exploring the Royal Court, the storm is coming! Your Majesty the Envoy of God! Not long after, Hela swam up to Xia En with a happy face and said excitedly. I knew you would come back. Xia En also had some impressions of this little girl from the sea tribe, and smiled and said, "This time, I will stay in the Coral City for a while longer." At this moment, the nearby sea tribesmen gathered scatteredly. They all looked at Xia En with a hint of awe. ?Perhaps its because the [Mysterious] attribute has been improved again, but the image of Xia En in their eyes has a more inexplicable temperament than before. After a few simple reminiscences, Xia En, led by the sea tribe, swam towards the college where the queen was. Soon, Xia En met the petite Queen of the Sea Tribe, Luticia again. It''s just that compared to the last time we met, Luticia seemed to be shorter than last time. As second- and third-level mystics, these elders naturally have extraordinary vision. ??Is there such a good thing? At this time, the difficulty of the entire [Coral City] copy has increased, which actually makes up for this. As the level of the ship spirit increases, the experience points given by killing low-level monsters are getting less and less. Characteristics But now, most of the doubts in their hearts were cleared away in an instant. Looking at his leaving figure, several elders walked out of the darkness of the hall with strong surprise in their voices. The speed of this improvement When I asked what I should call him, he said, just call him... [Undertaker]. If it were him, maybe he could... I said I am willing to use [Eternal Lingzhi] in exchange for the wealth accumulated by my family. Monocle[Undertaker] Xia En didnt hesitate and went straight to the palace. A flash of thought flashed in Xia En''s eyes: "Does he have any special characteristics, or has he said his name?" Luticia smiled: "After all, I am also a commoner. How can I resist the temptation of immortality, so I naturally reached a deal with him." Its been just over a month since I last saw him, and his aura has almost doubled? In fact, before this, the elders still had a lot of doubts about Xia En''s ability to help them regain the palace in the Coral City. Because of this, they were even more surprised by it. During this period, the [polluters] in the city seem to be a little restless, and some of the stronger [polluters] have also woken up from their slumber. I am already very old, and I am taking a nap here, just like before. at the same time. Can you tell me what happened that year? Your Majesty the Messenger of God Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up slightly. Luticia recalled: "He seemed to be wearing a special pair of monocles under his diving suit." Please be careful! The delicate brows and eyes looked sleepy, as if they had not yet woken up. At this time, Luticia reminded you: "Your Excellency, the envoy of God, there is something I want to remind you." Hearing this, Luticia was stunned for a moment, and then said with emotion: "As expected of Your Majesty the Divine Envoy, you have even heard of such a legendary secret treasure." "And, what is his secret profession... exactly? It seems to be different from any profession I know." Luticia rubbed her cheeks with her fleshy hands and said apologetically: "I''m sorry for letting you see this inappropriate appearance." Xia En has arrived at the gate of the palace. Xia En asked calmly: "Is it... a side effect of [Eternal Lingzhi]?" ?Chasing dungeons is like playing a game. If you dont refresh for a while, you will feel itchy in your heart. ?Since we are talking about this topic now, we might as well ask a little more about it. Then, a man wearing a special diving suit came to me. Xia En silently noted these two characteristics, and immediately planned to speed through the palace dungeon. ??Xia En has always been somewhat curious about the researcher who left the [Ember Sanctuary]. Luticia looked reminiscing and said, "Actually, there was nothing special about that day." Looking at the familiar coral patches and ancient red brick walls, a smile appeared on his lips. I wonder how far I can go in the palace this time? ??As the dark figure swam into the door, ugly coral monsters suddenly woke up in the surrounding shadows. ??The colorful corals on their bodies are constantly twisting and squirming, looking at this uninvited guest with malicious eyes. In just three or four breaths, they surged up like a tide. The long-awaited return gift package? Then Ill accept it without any courtesy! ?Xia En pulled out the blood demon sword that was constantly wailing, and slashed it down without ceremony! simultaneously! The **** sword light swept across like a crescent moon. ??Every coral monster that came into contact with it, without exception, was split into two by the huge force wrapped around it, and quickly turned into a pile of corpses! Ship Soul Experience +0.5%! Ship Soul Experience +0.3%! This little experience is not enough to fill your teeth. ?Xia En secretly shook his head. Previously, he seemed to be having a hard time moving around the area outside the palace. But now, after completing the transformation of the [Black Swan] and being promoted to the second-level Mystic, it is difficult for these peripheral mobs to pose much of a threat to him. ?Although there are many enemies, I will kill them all with one sword! Xia Ens footsteps did not stay here too long, and soon came to a wide square in the palace. Just walked into the square. Click click ?The sound of metal armor clashing reached Xia En''s ears. ? He ??looked forward intently, and there were several tall knights standing under the statues of many griffons. There are twelve knights in total, and their armors are all decorated with golden griffons. Even after being soaked in sea water for so many years, there is still no trace of rust. The Order of the Gryphon ?Xia Ens expression was a little solemn. In fact, his previous exploration of the replica of the royal palace stopped at the square in front of the main hall. The reason is naturally the obstruction of these knights. ?But before, there seemed to be only four or five awakened knights here, but now... Whoever comes, stop! ?Twelve knights stood up one after another and surrounded Xia En. The glory of the old era was revealed in their hoarse words. The only way to enter the royal court is to step over our corpses! Obviously, they, like the previous prince''s chamberlains, retained a certain degree of sanity. The strength of each griffin knight must be higher than that of the prince''s attendants! When they were alive, they were at least second-level or third-level secret path practitioners, or even higher! ?Seeing this, Xia En''s eyes actually showed a fighting spirit. ??Although the battle with Quinn and Blood Scythe in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was hearty, it was after all thanks to the power of Carles. He wanted to see where his true combat power limit was after being promoted to the second level? At the moment, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity! next moment. ??Xia En''s figure suddenly accelerated and turned into a meteor, coming directly in front of a griffin knight. The **** sword fell down on his head! Facing the menacing Xia En, the griffin knight raised the buckler on his side. ??The sound of the collision of gold and stone rippled along with the water waves. ?Such a powerful and heavy sword that only made him take a few steps back. Formulate! ??The gryphon knight shouted, and the other knights immediately stepped forward, and an indescribable invisible bond was built between them. The auras of the knights seemed to be integrated into one body, affecting the whole body. The knight in front used his shield to attack Xia En, while the knight behind him took the opportunity to draw his sword, aiming at the vital parts of the human body. Suddenly, Xia En''s pressure increased sharply, and several sword lights even pierced his body surface. Is it the secret technique of joint attack? Xia En pointed his toes to the ground and used the recoil to jump to a high place, with a smile on his lips. I also have exciting combos! Xiao Hei! Owner! The resonance in the soul was completed in an instant. Xia En, who had received the double blessing of the power of the ship soul, immediately burst out with a speed far superior to that of before, and stabbed a knight in the throat with a sword. simultaneously! The sword flashed and the knight''s head fell to the ground. From the closed helmet, a head that had mostly turned into coral fell out. The death of their companions made the remaining gryphon knights express emotions similar to grief and anger. But their movements did not stop at all, and they continued to roar towards Xia En and besiege him. For the glory of the Griffin Knights! However, in front of Xia En, who started the "second stage" in advance, their speed and strength fell into a comprehensive disadvantage. ?In just a moment, Xia En found an opportunity and slashed open the armor of a griffon knight again with one sword. The power of their combined fencing array obviously weakened as the number of people decreased. One is ebbing and the other is increasing, and the balance of victory has naturally shifted. It didnt take long. With a deep sigh, the last griffin knight fell to the ground. He looked towards the depths of the royal court and muttered to himself. O king, please bear witness for me... Soon, there was no more sound. He is also a loyal knight. Xia En had a strange expression on his face and complained in his mind: "Why do you make it look like I''m the villain?" ?However, he also knew that sending these knights on the road was essentially giving them relief, and there was no sense of guilt. The power of the ship soul on the panel (53/100) also shows that this group of knights is difficult to deal with. You must know that this was even when Xia En used the "second stage", but it still consumed a huge amount of energy. ??If it were Xia En who was there a month ago, he would not even be able to conquer the first Griffin Knight. After defeating the monsters, its naturally a relaxing and enjoyable time to lick the bag. Ship Soul Level: LV3 (8%)! In addition to the increase in experience points, Shane also found an ancient parchment scroll from the griffin knights. Gryphon Ancient Book Quality: Rare Type: Props Description: An ancient book recording the history and combat skills of the Griffin Knights. More than five sword-wielding knights can form a sword formation according to ancient books. Swordsmen in the sword formation can slightly increase their strength, mental resistance, defense, and morale. The glory of the gryphon is engraved in my heart! Better than nothing loot. ?Shaan glanced at the description twice and quickly came to a conclusion. For some pirate ships with a large number of people, this kind of sword formation may play a significant role in enhancing the combat power of the miscellaneous fish pirates. But for the [Black Swan], this sword formation seems a bit useless. ?With just these few crew members, we cant even get enough of them. ?However, some loot is better than nothing. No matter how bad it is, you can still sell it. Xia En put away the ancient books, walked through the square with the griffin statue, and came to a tall and magnificent palace. ?This should be what the gryphon knights call the "Royal Court." ??It is also the core area of ??the entire palace. ??The color tone of this palace is also different from other surrounding buildings. ?The color of silver and gray is like crystal, diamond or silver. Even if it is covered with colorful and ugly corals, you can still get a glimpse of its former glory. But correspondingly. ??Xia En also sensed an extremely strong sense of crisis from this royal court. It seemed that there were countless powerful beings hiding in the royal court, waiting for his arrival. This should be the most difficult area of ??the palace dungeon. In other words, as long as we can sweep this area, we wont be far from clearing the level! Xia En thought to himself, and set up a [Submarine Anchor Point] in front of the royal court gate. When in doubt, save the file first! He had no intention of letting the [Black Swan] stay on the sea surface of the Coral City for too long. After setting up the [Submarine Anchor Point], you can explore further sea areas while conquering the palace dungeon. The first exploration of the royal court has officially begun! ?Xia En muttered to himself as he strode into the palace. At the same time, a silver-gray, crystal-like coral monster was casting an icy gaze from a high place... Submarine is over! ifier Xia En chewed on the toothpaste and felt his head buzzing. Even though he had some expectations for the difficulty of the Royal Court copy, it was obvious that his expectations were not enough! ??The coral monster there has a strange silver-gray color, and its body is as hard as fine steel. Whether it is speed or intelligence, it is far from what the coral monsters in the outside world can compare with. ?However, on your first adventure, failure is inevitable. Shaan quickly calmed down, took out the chart, and confirmed the heading and route. The next target is [Rusted Waste City]! Xiao Hei, set sail! ?Shane thought that this voyage would be as normal as before. But on the third day of marching to the [Rusty Waste City], the [Black Swan] encountered an accident. This is an extremely terrible storm. ?The sky was gloomy and low, thick and substantial clouds covered the sky in layers over the sea, and turbulent winds blew in waves. The undulating sea surface caused the entire ship to sway violently. Master, its such a big storm... ?Xiao Hei''s slightly uneasy voice sounded in Xia En''s heart. Something is wrong. ?Xia Ens expression was slightly solemn. He could feel that there seemed to be some special mysterious power surging at the junction of the sky and the sea. ?It is this surging secret power that sets off a violent storm. ?In terms of the strength of the wind and waves alone, the current sea level even exceeds the situation during the promotion ritual. ?Sha En has encountered several storms before, but with the performance of the Black Swan, he survived them all without any danger. But now, this is the first time he has encountered such a big storm. Suddenly, Xia En woke up. Wait a minute, isnt this the effect of [Deep Sea Favored One]? What kind of blessing from the sea is this! (End of this chapter) Chapter 111 Hatched 【Old Dragon Egg】 Chapter 111 The hatched [Egg of the Ancient Dragon] ?Whether it is a simple accident or the negative effects brought about by the talent of [The Blessing of the Sea]. For [Black Swan], a terrible storm will inevitably come. ??Xia En immediately summoned the crew on the deck and issued the order with a serious face. Feiya, you go to the turbine room and make sure the steam turbine is full. When necessary, you can feed it all the discarded mechanical parts on the ship. Yes, Captain! Feiya nodded heavily and immediately walked down to the lower cabin. These days, he has become familiar with [Gluttony Steam Turbine]. ?Although he has a bit of an eccentric temperament and a bit of greed, this steam turbine is still a good boy at heart, and is naturally willing to listen to the teachings of his steam priest. An, go and make sure the supplies and cargo in each cabin are properly placed, especially the fresh water tank! An tapped his fist on the chest of the heavy armor and took action without any hesitation. Joy, Ill leave the cables and sails to you. Remember to secure the debris on the deck. The next wind and waves... may be unusually large! ??Joy''s eyes were firm: "Yes! Mr. Captain!" ?Looking at the busy people, Xia En didn''t feel much relaxed. ?Even though the performance of the [Black Swan] is already very good, a mature captain will never despise any storm on the sea. ?Those who underestimate the power of nature have long been buried in this sea forever. ?Before taking the helm, Shane''s eyes swept across the captain''s cabin. I dont know if its his imagination. ?As the storm at sea gradually formed, the smell of [Ancient Dragon''s Egg] in the captain''s cabin was vaguely restless? Boom! ??A bolt of lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and then the sound of thunder exploded. ?This thunder has also become the clarion call for the official arrival of the storm. ?The heavy rain poured down, and the raindrops fell like pebbles on the deck of the [Black Swan]. ?The wind howled and the waves surged into the sky. The [Black Swan] appeared extremely small and weak on this violent sea, as if it would capsize at any time. The low whistle sounds like the trembling neigh of the Black Swan. But at this moment, Shane took hold of the rudder. "Xiao Hei, don''t be afraid, I''m here." Different from when he was promoted to the ritual, he could actually feel the soul of the ship and...the inseparable connection between himself and it! In this case, what does he have to fear? Its just a storm, Ill take you out! Yes, Master! ! With the high-pitched whistle and the rising smoke, the [Black Swan] suddenly accelerated and moved forward against the violent wind and rain. ?Of course, Xia En did not blindly increase the speed to full speed. When driving a ship in such strong winds and waves, the speed is actually not the most critical, but the stability of the entire ship is important. As long as it does not roll over or be hit by a huge wave, the situation is relatively safe. Fortunately, the dark secret text engraved on the keel of the ship''s hull came into play at this moment. They flickered brightly and darkly, and the mysterious power was connected together and attached to the lower layer of the hull, making it very stable. Boom! Suddenly, there was another thunder. ?Xia En suddenly woke up and looked up at the clouds above. I saw an extremely large and terrifying figure vaguely reflected in the fleeting light of the thunder. ? Huge fleshy wings, majestic scales, and a pair of purple vertical pupils looming in the clouds. ?Thunder seems to be its roar, and the violent wind is its breath. A strong majestic aura spread out, making people tremble instinctively. dragon? ! ?Xia Ens eyelids twitched slightly and his heart was shaken. To be precise, this should be a Western dragon. Even so, the pressure it brings exceeds all the secret travelers that Xia En has seen. ??Neither the Queen of the Sea Tribe nor Carles is as good as this giant dragon hidden in the clouds! It even gave him a sense of oppression on a life level. Mr. Captain, look into the sea! ?At this time, Joey on the deck let out another exclamation. ?Xia En followed her gaze. Then he saw a huge, dark silhouette quietly emerging from under the undulating sea. What surprised Xia En even more was that its body shape actually had many similarities with the giant dragon in the sky. two dragons? Xia En figured everything out in an instant. This is not a natural storm at all, but a strange phenomenon caused by the fight between two giant dragons. And he and the [Black Swan] are just unlucky guys who accidentally broke into this place. Have I ever encountered such a small probability event? Xia Ens mouth twitched: [The blessing of the sea] Its really yours! ? Complaints were made, but his mood became more solemn. ??Stuck into the battle of such a powerful creature, it is more dangerous than an ordinary storm! ?No one knows whether these two giant dragons will suddenly regard the Black Swan as an enemy and overturn it with a slap. Fortunately, it may be because the size of the [Black Swan] is too small compared to the dragon. ?The giant dragons in the sky and the sea didn''t care about its existence, they just looked at each other''s existence. Roar! ??The giant dragon in the clouds roared again. Strong winds blew, and terrifying thunder fell from high places, leaving purple electric snakes on the sea. ??And the giant dragon in the sea was not to be outdone. A waterspout-like water column shot straight into the sky, stirring the dark clouds. Looking at this terrifying fight, Xia En felt his scalp numb and his eyelids twitching. At least at this stage, this is a battle that he cannot participate in at all. However, if you hide your aura like this and dont actively provoke them, you should be able to escape from this dangerous sea very quickly Xia En just came up with this idea. ?There was a "click" and the window in the captain''s cabin shattered. Immediately, a smooth and round dragon egg flew out. At this time, many fine cracks appeared on the surface of the dragon egg, and an unspeakable secret power lingered around it. It is precisely driven by these mysterious forces that it has the characteristics of temporarily hanging in the air and flying. Before Xia En could react, a loud and childish cry came from inside the dragon egg! ?Although this dragon roar is far less powerful and terrifying than the two giant dragons, it carries a different kind of majestic majesty! As if to declare It is a nobler and more ancient existence! When it returns to the world, all descendants should surrender! The mysterious power in the air, rain and ocean seems to be flowing into its body. In an instant, the heavy rain, thunder, and huge waves seemed to have stopped at this moment. The two giant dragons in the sky and the ocean both cast a surprised look at the dragon egg. As if they were also shocked by it for a moment. However, the next second after the thundering cry, most of the secret power on the surface of the dragon egg dissipated, and it quickly fell downwards. With a "plop" sound, it fell into the sea water. ?Shaan: "?" He thought what the dragon egg was trying to do! In the end, he just came out and yelled? ?However, under the current situation, there is no time for Xia En to complain anymore. ?Just because the two giant dragons were attracted by the [Black Swan], curiosity and wariness flashed in their eyes. Arent you here to cause trouble? ?Just being locked by the dragon''s gaze, Xia En felt his heart skip a beat, and his body instinctively trembled slightly. Xia En glanced at the position where the dragon egg sank into the sea, with a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes. In normal times, he would definitely use [Deep Sea Diving] to rescue the dragon eggs. But unfortunately, he has already used up the number of submersibles today! ??And if you wait until you escape and then come back to look for the dragon egg, the possibility of finding it is slim. It seems that we have to give it up... Xia En sighed in his heart. Compared to this dragon egg, the [Black Swan] and other crew members are more important. At this time, Joey on the deck suddenly said: "Mr. Captain, I can bring it back! Please give the order!" "you?" ?Xia En looked at Joey unexpectedly, only to find that the girl''s eyes were extremely firm, showing no hesitation or cowardice. He is completely different from the poor sailor who had a low self-esteem when he first got on the ship. Unknowingly, this girl has also grown up in a way that cannot be ignored. A new round of violent storms is approaching, and thunder is accumulating in the clouds. The breath of the dragon is clearly audible. ?Xia En knew that he had no time to hesitate. He immediately said seriously: "Joy, go! Remember, your life is far more important than that!" Thank you for your trust, I will definitely come back! After saying this, Joey jumped into the sea. In the blink of an eye, her petite body was swallowed up by the huge waves and disappeared. ??Xia En suppressed the worries in his heart, held the rudder, and penetrated the whole ship with his will. ?Amidst the howling wind, heavy rain and roaring thunder, the [Black Swan] began to move forward at full speed! ?Maybe Xia En was lucky, or maybe the two dragons main enemies were each other. ?After a long but thrilling chase and escape, the dragons got entangled again. And the [Black Swan] was also able to escape from this chaotic and dangerous sea. The several holes in the cabin, the deck full of water, and the pitiful whine of the steam turbine were all enough to illustrate the danger of the situation just now. But at this time, Xia En''s heart was still high. He parked the Black Swan in the distance, stood on the deck, looked at the sea in the distance, and waited for something quietly. Compared with the previous pursuit and escape, this kind of waiting without knowing the outcome is actually more painful. Until a certain moment. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Water splashing. ??A girl with white hair and red eyes emerged from the water holding a dragon egg, smiling and waving to Xia En. Mr. Captain, Im back! ?Seeing this scene, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, Joey swam to the side of the [Black Swan] and jumped out of the water lightly. Her lower body is like a fish-like tail. ?The pure jade-like scales shine in the sunlight, giving it a thrilling beauty. Even Xia En looked a little lost in thought. As soon as Joy returned to the deck, the dragon egg in her arms kept breaking. A fresh little life breaks out of its shell. Thanks to "I miss you so much" for the 1900-coin reward! Thank you so much! (End of this chapter) Chapter 112 Bronze Dragon String Song Maya! Chapter 112 Bronze DragonXiange Maya! ??Black Swan. There is still some water on the deck. ?Shane and the two crew members all looked at Joey who turned into a mermaid, or a siren, with surprised eyes. Even though Xia En knew about her Siren bloodline from the beginning, this was the first time he saw Joey in this state. I have to say that the girl in the mermaid form is... Quite good looking? ?Joys facial features are already exquisite and outstanding, but now, the extremely unique, pure white fish tail adds a bit of strange mysterious beauty. ?The only shortcoming is probably that even if her top is wet by the sea water, the curves in front of her body are still not obvious. ? Or rather, its only a little better than the deck? Mr. Captain? ??Joy''s face turned a little red when he saw it, but he still held up the dragon egg quite proudly: "I brought it back successfully!" Click It seems that because her movements were slightly larger, the cracks on the dragon egg in the girl''s hand suddenly expanded and quickly connected together. Immediately afterwards, cracking sounds were heard one after another. ??Joy''s pretty face froze, her face flushed with anxiety, and she said aggrievedly and innocently. I, I, II didnt mean it! ?But at this moment, Xia Ens eyes fell on the cracked dragon egg. ??I saw a petite green dragon head emerging from the eggshell, with a small piece of eggshell on top of the head, and a pair of obsidian-like eyes looking around curiously. After breaking out of the shell, its first action is to eat the eggshells around it. ??The young dragon slowly chewed the eggshell with its fine teeth, as if it was enjoying a hearty meal. ?One piece after another, one piece after another. Even the debris that fell on the deck was not spared. After eating all the eggshell fragments, the young dragon looked around at the people on the deck and spoke in a language that people could understand. However, the first words it spoke made Xia En frown slightly. Weak humans, celebrate, the great bronze dragon string song Maya has been reborn from the egg! For the sake of taking care of me for many days, I can kindly take you as my slaves! The baby dragon''s voice was milky, like a soft and waxy young girl. But there was a lingering pride in his words, which made people feel uncomfortable. ?In addition, because it came out to cause trouble, the [Black Swan] was chased by two giant dragons, which also put Joey in danger. Xia Ens impression of the young dragon is naturally not much better. He simply did not tolerate the other party, and with a straight face, he approached the young dragon step by step. After experiencing so many things and killing many vampires with his own hands, Xia En''s temperament has already undergone subtle changes. That is the murderous aura truly tempered between blood and fire! Furthermore, as his mood changed, the entire Black Swan also showed a different side from before. ?The deck cast a malicious look at Xian Ge. The cables and nooses swayed slightly, as if they were looking for a suitable angle to strike. Even the steam turbine deep in the cabin made a "gurgling" sound as if to join in the fun, as if to say, can it have a taste of this little dragon? The floating malice gathered around Xian Ge, pressing down on it like a mountain. Do you think you can scare me like this? Youre so naive! Dont underestimate the power of the bronze dragon! Okay, I admit that you are not an ordinary human being, stop now, I can still tolerate your offense. Woooooooo, I was wrong! Dont, dont do it! ?As Xia En walked step by step in front of Xian Ge, his attitude also made a 180-degree turn. ?Even Xia En didn''t have time to take action. ??This young dragon already had its big eyes shining with tears, looking at him pitifully. Im sorry, I was too arrogant... I apologize! Isnt it enough that I apologize? ?Shaan: ?Is this dragon too cowardly? Where is the great bronze dragon that was promised? ?He originally thought that Xiange Maya was the kind of iron-headed boy who would not give up until he saw the Yellow River. Unexpectedly, I was more like a bully kid, and I was scared at the beginning of my education. ?Although Xiange Maya was timid, Xia En would not allow a crew member who ignored the captain''s dignity to stay on his ship. The lessons that should be given still have to be given. He looked down at Xian Ge and asked coldly: "What should you call me?" "Humanity?" ?Shaans tone was even colder: Huh? Xian Ge was frightened and said quickly: "I know, it''s... the captain!" "Yes, Not Bad." ?Shaan nodded: "From now on, you will be the fourth crew member of the [Black Swan]." However, because your attitude does not satisfy me, you are still just an incompetent trainee crew member. "If you still behave like this in the future, I don''t mind an extra dragon meat snack on the table." These words were partly a threat and partly Xia En''s true thoughts. ??Having an ancient dragon crew member is certainly very powerful, but if it wants to treat the captain as a slave all day long, it is not as useful as making a potion. "Well!" Xiange was startled again and looked at Xia En with fear and fear, as if looking at a big devil. Xia En knew that intimidation was enough. Some people play the bad side, and naturally there will be others who play the bad side. He motioned to Fei Ya next to him with his eyes. The handsome young man understood immediately and stepped forward with a smile: "Your name is Xiange Maya, right?" Dont be so nervous. Our captain is actually quite kind at ordinary times. As long as you are obedient, everyone will get along happily. Here, there is some dried fish here, can you take it and eat it? With that said, Fei Ya took out a few dried fish from the space ring and handed them to the young dragon Xian Ge. Xian Ge looked up at him, then at the dried fish, his eyes showed emotion, and he blurted out a sentence. "mom!" Veins appeared on Fei Ya''s forehead, he narrowed his eyes and showed a "kind" smile: "Can you say something more?" "mom?" "calm down!" After some persuasion from several people, Feiya was stopped who was about to take action. At this time, Xian Ge looked at An, who was wearing armor, and said in surprise. I feel so nostalgic, are you...an elf? Hearing this, An Mingming was stunned for a moment. Xian Ge said excitedly: "I remember that the language of elves naturally contains extraordinary secret power. Please say something quickly and let me listen." So, An Ye silently raised his sword... Not long. This is the end of a special "welcome event". I have to say that although Xiange Maya can always dance accurately in the minefield, its body is indeed strong enough. ?Just after breaking out of the shell, his physical fitness has already surpassed that of the average first-order secret pather. Even Xia En felt that this was the "weak" state it entered after consuming a lot of energy during the long period of time in the [Ember Shelter]. ??If it can be hatched normally, Xian Ge''s starting point will probably be higher than the second-level secret path! ?Xia En also had some guesses about its unique character. ?Different from other dragons that only develop consciousness after breaking out of their shells, Xian Ge already had reason and thinking when he was still in the egg. ??The cry for help that first came into Xia Ens mind was precisely its handiwork. What''s more, in Xia En''s impression, the bronze dragon has always been inseparable from time and space. ?Perhaps it was reborn in the egg through some special means? Therefore, Xian Ge cannot be like an ordinary young dragon, a pure and flawless piece of white paper, and consider the first creature he sees after breaking out of his shell as his mother. Instead, he has a strong sense of pride as a bronze dragon. But on the other hand, the body also affects the soul. His young and frail body made Xiange unable to be strong-willed, and also made his mind somewhat younger. Looking both proud and cowardly, like an uneducated little girl. It seems that we need to slowly train Xian Ge and change its character bit by bit. At this time, Xia En touched his chin, looked at Xian Ge who was already asleep in the small nest in front of him, and thought to himself. ?Perhaps because it had just hatched, the young dragon was quite lethargic. He just played with Fei Ya and others for a while before falling into a deep sleep. Alas, there is still a long way to go. ??Xia En knew that changing the character of the young dragon and turning it into a qualified crew member was obviously a long process and not something that could be accomplished in a day. Fortunately, before that, Shane had already received a small amount of interest. ?When Xian Ge broke out of his shell, a line of information appeared on his panel. Unlock Talent: Majesty of the Bronze Dragon Quality: inferior Description: You have simultaneously obtained the talent of the crew member "XiangeMaya"! You will exert a certain degree of pressure on creatures of lower bloodline! There is a probability of causing negative effects such as "shock", "fear" and "suppression"! The majesty of the bronze dragon cannot be overstepped! In fact, I have considered writing a traditional pet dragon, which is called mom when it comes up and listens to the protagonist''s "loyal dog type" in everything. However, it felt that it overlapped with the characters of several crew members and there was nothing new, so I wanted to write one like " The character of "Female Imp" - who is also very obedient after education - is just not sure how popular it will be, and I feel a little unsure. (End of this chapter) Chapter 113 Arrive at the City of Steam [Rusty Wasteland! 】 Chapter 113 Arriving at the City of Steam[Rusty Wasteland! Not a bad little talent. It is not very useful at this stage, but when the quality of the talent is improved, the effect should be very impressive. After reading [The Majesty of the Bronze Dragon], Xia En analyzed it secretly. Subsequently, he opened the crew panel of Xiange. Crew: Xian GeMaya (bound) Race: Bronze Dragon Rank: One Talent: Majesty of the bronze dragon; resistance to pollution; sensitive senses; profound knowledge... Skills: provocation; melee combat; dragon language magic... Description: The young dragon has just emerged from its shell and believes that it will eventually have the power to overturn the world. However, times have changed, and even the powerful ancient dragon community has been destroyed. As the last bronze dragon in the world, it is destined to recognize reality one day. "The bronze crown has long been rusted, and only the tempering of blood and fire can regain its new life."] "Um?" Xia En looked at the content on this panel with a strange expression. He discovered that Xian Ge did not have a [Secret Career], but instead had a [Rank] column. This may indicate that the growth of a bronze dragon is a promotion path that is different from the secret career. Think about it carefully. The levels of Mystics are actually judgment standards set by humans, or in other words, mortals. ?For those innately divine beings who are at a higher level when they are born, how can they know the concepts of first level and second level? As for Xian Ges talents and skills LearnedPollution Resistance is quite normal, mostly due to its racial ability. But what happened to [provocation]? Your ability to dance in minefields is still a skill, right? You have to attack the minion with taunt? Another thing that concerned Xia En was the words in the description. A crown of bronze? Is this a metaphor for something? And, of a race as powerful as the Bronze Dragon, there is only one Xian Ge left? ?This kind of thing is actually a bit incredible. Even humans and vampires can survive the flood through various means. There is no reason that the more powerful ancient dragons will become extinct as a result. unless There are other reasons that led to the destruction of the ancient dragon! Thinking again about the "aphasia" curse in the elven bloodline, Xia En vaguely glimpsed one or two unclear afterimages from the fog of history. As for the term "bronze crown", Xia En just thought about it casually and stopped thinking about it. To this day, he has become somewhat accustomed to the description of "The Riddler" that pops up on the panel from time to time. ??Take advantage of the clear weather tonight and the starry sky will be exceptionally clear. ?Xia En held the chart and compared the heading and route, thinking to himself. If nothing else happens, at this speed, we should be able to reach the sea area where the [Rusty Waste City] is located in another three days. Perhaps the law of conservation of luck comes into play. ??The [Black Swan], which had already experienced a storm, arrived at the destination of the trip without encountering too many obstacles. Of course we encountered a little accident along the way. ?For example, you encountered a pirate ship, bumped into some alien sea beasts, or caught some weird stuff while fishing. But for Xia En now, this is not a big problem. The sea beasts that were hit were eaten as barbecue. The strange trophies caught were piled deep in the cabin as a souvenir. With the keels and cannons watching, they obviously did not dare to make mistakes. As for that pirate ship? ?After seeing the [Black Swan], instead of attacking, it turned around and ran away without hesitation! After all, now, with Xia En and Fei Ya together, the reward for the [Black Swan] has reached as high as 500 gold dragon coins! ??Where do ordinary pirates dare to provoke? No matter how good the money is, you still have to have the life to get it! ?This made Xia En quite regretful, feeling that he had missed a way to make money. At the same time, as the [Black Swan] headed towards the [Rusty Waste City]. Xia En can also clearly feel that the concentration of secret power contained in the seawater has increased, and the strength of the sea beasts in the seawater has also become stronger. The reason is not difficult to guess. Previously, the sea area where Duke Island, Silver Moon Island and even [Coral City] were located was essentially still in the category of "offshore". In this world, the "nearness" of "offshore" does not refer to the distance from the continent - even a complete continent cannot be found in this place, so how can we talk about distance? The "near" here refers to the closeness in the time dimension. It is the sea area that was submerged later and appeared later. No matter how rapidly the sea level rises, there will always be a sequence in which cities and continents are submerged. Cities further inland will obviously be swallowed up by the sea later. The sea area where the [Rusty Wasted City] is located has begun to enter the realm of the "distant sea". In the open sea, the depth of the water is much greater than that of the offshore sea. The concentration of the secret power will also increase as the water depth increases, and more terrifying and powerful alien sea beasts will naturally be born, and even indescribable huge sea monsters may appear. For weak ships and sailors, the open sea is a forbidden area that cannot be touched! At this moment. On the deck, Shane looked around. On the gently wavy sea, there were metal spiers like black swords one after another. Some of them are far apart, and some are close together. Like solemn and silent tombstones, they silently watch every visiting ship. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was sure that he had arrived at the former city of steam - the Rusty Waste City! Is this the legendary dark forest of steles? Fei Ya stood beside Xia En, looking at the spire on the sea in surprise. ?With the depth of this sea area, it can still pierce the surface of the sea, which is enough to explain the towering height of these spiers. It is difficult to imagine how the people of previous civilizations made these steel spiers. Its really spectacular. No wonder some believers in the Church of Steam say this is a miracle of the God of Steam and Steel. "But...ordinary ships would be wary just sailing on this sea, right?" ?Hearing Fei Yas words, Joey on the side nodded. It is said that every year, there are countless salvage ships that are pierced by spires in [Rust Waste City]. Obviously, in addition to these tall towers piercing the sea, there are also a considerable number of spiers hidden under the sea. ?If a passing ship is not careful, its hull will be pierced by the spire, and it will hit the tower and sink. Even Xia En couldn''t help but slow down the speed of the [Black Swan] when sailing here, and moved forward cautiously. Hmph, the captain who will sink his ship here is nothing more than a trash fish. Young dragon Xian Ge flapped his wings twice and commented condescendingly: "You are not even qualified to be my slave!" ?Shaan glanced at it silently. Xian Ge''s body trembled slightly, and he quickly said: "Ahem, of course, my captain is not that kind of trash!" How can it be difficult to find Captain Xia En in this dark forest of monuments? "but" Xian Ge changed the topic and thought flashed in his eyes: "Those spiers seem to be more than just decorative buildings?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved slightly. ??In the past few days, this young bronze dragon has a somewhat arrogant temperament, but his eyesight is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people, and he has an extraordinarily keen perception of mysterious powers. ?However, even if there is something weird about these black spiers, Xia En will not change his plan. He first dropped the anchor and fixed the [Black Swan] in place to avoid hitting the black spire during the drift. Then let several crew members stand by on the ship. ?After all, this is the first exploration of the [Rusted Waste City], so it would be better to let the projection body explore the way first. Soon, Xia En returned to the captain''s cabin. Open the panel. Start diving! ?The vision fell into a brief but familiar darkness. The feeling of falling keeps coming. It''s just that it''s a little different from the previous submarine. During the sinking process, a low and hoarse roar reached Xia En''s ears. This sound was familiar to him; it was the whisper of the core of steam. But at this time, the sounds seemed a little too dense and noisy, as if they were neighing in pain and singing a lament that ordinary people could not understand. Soon, Xia En opened his eyes. A majestic steel city caught his sight. (End of this chapter) Chapter 114 Mechanical Maze Chapter 114 Mechanical Maze ?If you want to use one word to describe the first impression that this [rusty waste city] brought to Xia En, it would probably be - Profound! ?The depth of this city is far greater than that of the Coral City, and even deeper than any underwater ruins that Shane has ever explored. The deep sea water silently swallows the light from the sea, making the city below look dim. Because of this, those tall towers standing on the seabed are even more spectacular. Together with those tall buildings with unique shapes, they form a steel jungle in the sea! Just as in the rumors. ?There are a lot of metal structures in this city. ?Steam pipes that look like brass or steel are wrapped around high-rise buildings like snakes, and spread across every corner of the city like spider webs. ?At the same time, Xia En actually saw intact railway tracks in the city! Railway tracks are distributed like veins in the core area of ??the city. On top of it, there is a train that is supposed to be powered by steam. Obviously, due to the huge size of the city, the former residents of this city built this unique transportation system to meet the needs of commuting and moving. However, these are not the main point. What really surprised Shane was... On those tracks, there was a slender, rusty train roaring forward menacingly! Steam spurts out from the train''s pipes and instantly turns into streams of heat in the sea water. Only the series of inconspicuous bubbles can prove their existence. This train can still run? Xia En was surprised: "Could it be that since this city was submerged, it has been driving under the sea all the time?" No matter what, this is too exaggerated, isnt it? Even though Xia En already knew something about the black technology of steam in this world, this giant steel snake running endlessly on the bottom of the sea still gave him a great shock. Soon, Shane discovered that Except for steam trains, many steam installations in the city still show signs of being used. Just because the steam cools down quickly the moment it touches the water and is hidden in the dark sea water, it is not as conspicuous as it is during normal use. ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart for the time being, Xia En slowly dived downwards. He did not forget the purpose of his trip. Get the steam device to strengthen the [Black Swan]. ??It would be great if you could gain some ship soul experience by the way. ?Before exploring, Xia En also did some research on [Rusted Waste City] and knew that the city is mainly divided into five areas. They are [Black Queen District] [Factory District] [Port District] [Mining District] [Copper and Steel District]. The functions of [Factory Area] and [Mining Area] are just like their names. The [Port Area] is the former seaport of the rusty and abandoned city. Yes, before being submerged by sea water, this steam capital was a coastal city with extremely convenient navigation. ? Developed transportation and transportation allow steam technology and geniuses from all over the world to gather, collide, and blend here, and sparks sparkle like stars. Legends say that there are some huge and terrifying mechanical creations lurking in the abyss of this [port area]! [Black Queen] is equivalent to the uptown area of ??the city, where the upper class of society live. On the contrary, in [Copper and Steel District], ordinary people live in this low-rise neighborhood. ?For the purpose of testing the waters, Xia En chose the [Copper and Steel Zone] as the target for his first dive this time. The water pressure at this depth is really different from the Coral City. ?After sneaking into the abandoned and dilapidated neighborhood, Xia En clearly felt a pressure coming from his body. Ship Soul Power -1! The speed at which the power of the ship soul decays also illustrates this point. This means that the time he can submerge will be limited to a certain extentlike returning to the time when he first submerged. You have to hurry up. ?Thinking of this, Xia En began to look around. ??Although this is a civilian area, there are still many steam devices on the streets and houses. ?However, after being soaked in seawater for many years, those pipes have long been covered with dark red or dark green rust, and they look extremely fragile, as if they will break at the slightest touch. This kind of rusted metal is obviously not the material Xia En needs. ?His eyes quickly swept across the entire block, but he found nothing of value, not even a working steam engine. It seems that there is nothing I want in the copper and steel area. Xia En was not discouraged and was planning to explore the [Factory District] or [Black Queen District]. Not far away, at the end of the street, there was a sudden strange noise. I saw a strange and stiff body standing up slowly, and a dark red light lit up from under its goggles. PoiqrQkj Special environment detected, voice module debugging is in progress At first, it was a chaotic noise. But gradually, the voice turned into a language that Xia En could understand. Debugging completed, starting to confirm the identity of outsiders... Identityidentityidentity ?Its words gradually became stuck, as if it had encountered some kind of malfunction. Immediately, the sound coming from the body quickly became sharp and even distorted. Unable to confirm! Unable to confirm! Enemy! Enemy! The next moment, the figure suddenly turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Xia En at an extremely fast speed. ?At this moment, Xia En was able to see the other party''s appearance clearly. This is a mechanical doll, or...puppet? ! Its body is made entirely of metal, and it can barely be seen as human-shaped. Exposed gears and connecting rods can be seen everywhere on the body. Something like an indicator light on the chest and under the goggles is flashing red. Confirm the enemy, destroy it... destroy it! ?Sharp, crazy sounds are coming out hysterically from inside the metal puppet. ?Judging from the degree of rust on the metal of this body, it would not be surprising even if it were scrapped in place. However, the metal puppet exploded with considerable fighting ability amidst the roar. ??A rusty long knife popped out from the side of its arm, and struck Xia En quickly and hard. But Shanes reaction was faster! With just a thought, the Blood Demonic Sword appeared in his hand and slashed towards the chest of the metal puppet. simultaneously! Without any surprise, the puppet''s body was split into two. Exposed a steam core in the chest that quickly stopped working. ?However, what is strange is that a kind of dark, sticky blood actually flows out from the body of the mechanical puppet. Machines also bleed? ?Xia En was surprised. What surprised him even more was the text that appeared next on the panel. Kill the alienated mechanical puppet Get the trophy: Steam Heart Type II (destroyed) Quality: inferior Type: Material [Description: The second generation steam creation developed by the legendary steam mechanic of the previous era, and is widely used in the steam mechanical puppet "Patroler". This kind of mechanical puppet was given life by the heart of steam, and was infected by the secret power of sea water over the long years, turning into a special life form. They pray to the God of Steam and Steel all day long, but they never receive a response, so they move towards madness and destruction step by step. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? (End of this chapter) Chapter 115 [Lord of Rust] and [Snake of the Courtyard] Chapter 115 [The Lord of Rust] and [The Snake in the Courtyard] This thing can also explode [Secret Sea Crystal]? Xia En looked at the motionless mechanical doll in front of him and couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. But think about it, [Secret Sea Crystal] has no limit and can only be obtained from sea monsters. ?It is normal for these tin cans to be tainted with some of the secret power of the sea after being soaked in seawater for so long, right? "absorb!" After thinking about it, a familiar cool feeling flowed through Xia En''s body. Ship Soul Level: LV3 (16%)! In the past few days, by staying at the anchor point of [Coral City], Xia En''s ship spirit experience has also been steadily improving. By the way, the attributes of [Black Swan] have also undergone certain changes. Were you attracted by the puppets scream just now? Hey, kid! All of these are the same as the mechanical puppet just now! The only difference is that the light emanating from the eyes is not red, but a faint deep blue. Not to mention, there are also blessings brought by talents such as [Blessing of the Sea] and [Captains Majesty]. ?Just as he was considering whether to attack them or avoid them temporarily, the iron door of a room not far away suddenly opened from the inside. The iron door closed quickly. Oh, I almost forgot, you dont have an underwater sound device. At this time, Xia En was able to see the man''s appearance clearly. ?In the dark and deep steel jungle, a group of mechanical birds suddenly swam in. The dark red searchlight fell from a high place and moved around to observe the deserted neighborhood. ?But in fact, the attributes of Xia En''s body are much higher than these values. He looked up, but his pupils could not help but shrink. Come with me, I will take you to a good place. ??The mechanical puppet shook its body violently, shook off the sea water on its body, and let out a particularly refreshing sigh. Xia En followed him silently. Just as Xia En put away the heart of steam that was no longer beating, he heard a strange mechanical sound again. ?Humhum Huh? What kind of new diving device is this? Why have I never seen it before? If you dont want to die, come here quickly! ??Rusted metal casings, limbs driven by gears and levers, pipes flowing with steam Xia En''s heart moved. ??He wanted to ask, but the way these puppets made sounds in the sea was different from that of the sea tribe. Even if Xia En had the [Conch Necklace], he would not be able to communicate with them. ?As a projection body, he was not afraid of the other party''s moves, so he swam into the iron gate without much hesitation. Soon, the two came to a special room. The walls here were all made of special alloy, and unexpectedly there were not many traces of rust. After the door was closed, the water level in the room suddenly began to drop, as if a pump was continuously pumping away the sea water. A flash of surprise flashed in Xia En''s eyes. Xia En''s mind flashed. Under Feiya''s cultivation, the efficiency of [Gluttony Steam Turbine] has improved. As for the mysterious attributes, it is probably related to the breaking out of the bronze dragon string song. Is it an alienated sea beast? Or another kind of mechanical puppet? ??This voice sounded like an uncle''s mechanical puppet scratching the back of his head: "Well, it''s fate that we met today." After saying that, the mechanical puppet swam to the corner of the room, opened a secret door, and swam in first. Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice came out. Its better to live in a place without sea water! Otherwise, I feel like my whole body will be rusty. The two promotions to the Secret Path profession directly enhanced his own attributes. Obviously, like the Coral City, this city also has its own indigenous people. Attributes: Firepower 25, Speed ??30, Solidity 29, Mystery 31 After closing the door, the people inside still did not relax their vigilance. Instead, they used a lookout-like device to peek at the situation outside. Until the dark red searchlight gradually faded away, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Xia En. A sane mechanical puppet! ? Boy, you are lucky. If you are discovered by the lackeys of the Rusty Lord, you will end up..." ?Shaan: Arent you already rusty? ?After the sea water was drained, the mechanical puppet opened the alloy door on the inside and said with a smile. Young man, welcome to the City of Steam! Suddenly, a burst of powerful music sounded. ?Its like a very old song, so old that it dates back to hundreds or thousands of years ago, when the Rusty Wasteland was still called the City of Steam. ?What caught Xia En''s eyes was a bar with a very punk temperament. Flashing colorful lights, a record player hoarsely singing, a swaying crowd, and... The smell of rust and engine oil lingers in the thin air! ??The people here are not ordinary biological people, but weird mechanical puppets one after another! ?Such a ridiculous and bizarre scene, yet extremely real, appeared in front of Xia En. ?It is hard to imagine that such a lively bar still exists in the deserted and rusty underwater city. Isnt it surprising? The uncle who brought Shane in all said ostentatiously: "My name is Jack Wilson, and I am the owner of this bar. They all call me Old Jack." Judging from your appearance, you must be a salvager at sea, right? Its not easy to do this business. I used to know several salvagers, but within a few years, none of them were left. ?Shaan was a little unaccustomed to Jack''s enthusiasm. After nodding, he asked curiously. You...are all the original residents of this city? Jack was slightly startled and said in surprise: "I didn''t expect you to ask this." "But it''s okay to tell you." "Your guess is correct. Before we turned into this ghost, we were just ordinary humans." ?These words instantly answered Xia Ens doubts. If we say that in the face of the huge waves sweeping the world, the former king of [Coral City] took measures to transform humans into corals; The vampires in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] chose to sink the entire city into the [Secret Sea]; ?Then, the city lord of [Rusty Wasted City] embarked on another forbidden path The flesh and blood are weak, but the machine soars! ??Although I dont know what methods the Mystics in this city used, they succeeded in transferring peoples souls into these metal puppets and survive on the seabed to this day. ?Thinking of this, Xia En frowned and asked again: "Then the puppet I killed before..." Dont worry, thats a [out-of-control person]. ?Jack looked at the swaying crowd on the dance floor and said calmly: "There are two types of [out-of-control people] in the rusty waste city now." A kind of machine that has not been given a soul in the first place. The other type is the crazy residents. No matter what kind of disease they are, there is no cure, and death is their relief. Xia En''s heart moved slightly. ? It is not difficult to guess that the process of transforming the human body into a machine is bound to have hidden dangers and side effects. Not to mention, living in this dark sea for such a long time will also lead to mental alienation. ?It is a miracle that Jack can stay awake and rational. Xia En continued to ask: "Speaking of which, what about the train running in the city?" Oh, you mean [Snake of the Atrium]! Jack said clearly: "That thing is really spectacular. After all, it is a treasure left over from the past era." The snake in the atrium? ?Shaen had a strange expression. He remembered that this was a giant python from a certain myth that could even surround the world. ?The dare to choose this name is undoubtedly comparing this city of steam to the mythical atrium, which shows its huge ambition. Dad, youre back! At this time, a petite mechanical puppet painted with pink paint ran out of the crowd and threw itself into Jack''s arms like a baby. Oh, my good daughter, are you sinking again? Dad can hardly hold you anymore. ?Jack laughed heartily and hugged her around a few times. Causing the pink robot to giggle. ??If you ignore their weird appearance, this is undoubtedly an extremely warm scene. Your daughter? ?Xia En asked softly. Jack asked openly: "That''s right, isn''t it cute?" Xia En replied calmly: "It''s quite cute." ?This answer surprised Jack. ??Although the appearance of this outsider is vague, he still has an indescribable mysterious temperament, as if he is concealed by a special secret technique. But he could still tell that these were the other party''s sincere words. ?When Jack comes into contact with other salvagers, he can actually notice that when they face him, they actually have emotions such as fear, disgust, and uneasiness hidden deep in their hearts. It is human nature to be afraid of the unknown. So Jack didn''t blame them for it. ?However, at the moment, this strange visitor has no such emotion at all, as if... He is treating himself and his daughter equally as normal people! For a moment, Jack felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. ?But at this moment, the daughter in her arms said: "By the way, Dad, there is not much stock in the store, and several customers are urging us!" Inventory? Hearing this word, Xia En was also a little curious and turned to look at the edge of the bar. He saw that the wine glasses in people''s hands contained a dark liquid that exuded a metallic luster. For these mechanical puppets, this liquid seems to act like alcohol and stimulants, making them dance selflessly. That is the diluted liquid of [Youjin], which is also a specialty of this citys mining area. Drinking that stuff will make their heads easier. ?As Jack spoke, he knocked on his forehead, making a "clang" sound. However, these guys are consuming too fast, right? [Youjin] ?Shaan silently wrote down the name. ?In addition to the rusted steel, there must be a lot of special metals like this in the city, which may be used in the transformation of the [Black Swan]. Drip dirtdrop dirt ?Suddenly, a sound like an alarm suddenly sounded, quickly covering the music in the bar. The movements of everyone on the dance floor suddenly stopped, clearly showing panic. ??The blue light flashing in Jack''s eyes was a little deep, and he said to Shane: "They are from the [Rust Lord], you hide first." They wont let any outsider go. ??Although Xia En was curious about the name "Rust Lord", he also knew that now was not the time to ask, so he hid silently in the corner. Not long after, the door opened. Several mechanical puppets walked into the bar. They look different from the others in the bar. The surface and joints of their bodies are covered with a black, flowing substance, like thick black mud. The gaze projected from the eye sockets is unusually cold, without any warmth of a living thing. Like corpses that have long since died. (End of this chapter) Chapter 116 [Necromancer Psionics] (Please subscribe! Please read!) Chapter 116 [Necromancer Psionics] (Please subscribe! Please read!) ??The arrival of these five mechanical puppets immediately changed the atmosphere in the bar. ??The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent, looking at them with frightened eyes and not daring to make even a single noise. ?Only Jack took the initiative to walk up to the puppet and asked respectfully. Your Excellency, Secretariat, I remember that I was supposed to send someone to serve a few days ago. Why are you here again today? The leader of the mechanical puppet said hoarsely: "Death service... is not qualified." The princeneedslive labor. ?It has a strange intonation and is very slow. Compared to mechanical puppets like Jack, who are not much different from living people, they are more like dull machines controlled by programs. Just hearing the word "live labor", the blue light in Jack''s eyes dimmed instantly, and his voice became a little difficult. The four fallen mechanical puppets clung to his body in disorder, as if attracted by some kind of attraction, and quickly merged into one. Are you going to go against the will of the great king? My power comes from the Lord of Rust! ?Shaans face was expressionless: Really? The **** sword slashed down, and the violent wind even made people at a close distance unsteady. "no." Like a mechanically stitched monster! Dad, dont ?Seeing that the sound of steam rushing inside Jack''s body gradually subsided, they were slightly relieved, but they felt a little sad in their hearts. Or let me choose? ?On the other side, Jack waved his rusty iron fist and struck straight into the clerk''s back! The affairs officer nodded with satisfaction and was about to wave his hand and take Anna away. She knew very well what would happen if she became an enemy of the [Rust Lord]. ?With a tooth-piercing friction sound, the sword cut through the metal and gears inside the steward''s body, cutting a straight wound through his body from the back of his heart to his neck. ??The affairs officer''s eyes flashed red, and he punched Jack away from him. ??The clerk let out a roar like a beast, turned his head abruptly, stared at Xia En, and said wildly. It can be the next moment! A **** giant sword has penetrated its back! ?The big sword seemed to be made of blood, and the dark lines on it were constantly squirming and roaring, exuding malice to choose and devour people. C Its eyes swept across the people in the bar, and every puppet it saw couldn''t help but lower its head, and its body trembled slightly with fear. Outsiders...kill! He actually killed them instantly! Dang! The shock wave visible to the naked eye spread, causing the clerk to take several steps back. Outsiders...you cant kill me! Can you please be accommodating for a few days so that I can choose a candidate for active labor... ??The blue light in Jack''s eyes began to flicker on and off, and the roar of the steam core in his body was faintly visible. The four mechanical puppets gathered together, their bodies split into two from the waist. Finally, the steward looked at a petite puppet painted in pink. A dark figure holding a big sword appeared like a ghost. The affairs officer replied decisively: "Today...at this time." ?But at the same time, the four puppets around the steward looked at him, and a dangerous red light lit up under their helmets. Young soulsare well suited to become the fuel for the [Snake of Midgard]. ??Not just her and her dad, but everyone in the bar will not be spared! Instead of doing this, it is better to sacrifice her alone... Soon, the sludge on its body gradually squirmed. There was a hint of pleading in Anna''s eyes. Boom! Two blasts of air sounded almost at the same time. Those who disobey orders...kill! ?He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, tensed his muscles, and suddenly raised the entire sword upwards. Anna The eyes of everyone in the bar also fell on Jack, waiting for him to make the final decision. ?This time its Anna, next time, who will it be? "a wise decision." ?Those sludge-like substances tried their best to stop the movement of the blood sword, but they seemed extremely weak in front of Xia En''s terrifying power. When the sword is close to the head. ??A flash of panic finally flashed through the red light in the affairs officer''s eyes. But it still roared: "You will pay for your actions! The Rust King will punish you!" Before he finished speaking, some of the sticky sludge on his body surged into Xia En''s body. ?This seems to be some kind of mark, or a curse! only ??The moment the mud touched Xia En''s body, he shrank back faster! The outermost layer of sludge even ignited a layer of black flames, which quickly spread throughout the steward''s body. ?At this moment, the affairs officer felt a fear that was stronger than ever It feels that the connection between itself and the Rusty Lord is constantly weakening! As the sludge burns, the strength and activity given by the Maharaja melt as quickly as ice and snow! At this time, a voice trembling with fear finally came out from under the metal shell of the affairs officer: "You... you are not an ordinary outsider..." "You''re not even human...what the hell..." Unfortunately, its question cannot be answered after all. Because before that, this mingled metal puppet suddenly disintegrated and turned into a piece of soundless scrap metal. ??Everyone in the bar stared at this scene blankly, speechless for a moment. ?That terrible affairs officer actually died in the hands of this outsider? at the same time. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? ? ? "Special?" ? ? Xia En''s eyes lit up. According to his experience, [Secret Sea Crystal] with this suffix can bring quite a surprise. Ship Soul Level: LV3 (18%)! Unlock talent: Necromantic Psionics Quality: inferior Description: The dead corpses contain profound energy. Those who master this psionic energy can awaken corpses, communicate with the dead, or open the profound door to death. The skeletons of dead mechanical creatures are probably also controlled by this power, right? Corpse, talking... "Um?" ?Xia En frowned and suddenly realized that something was wrong. ??He was killing a mechanical puppet, not an undead creature, so how could he develop such a talent? ??But after seeing the penultimate sentence of the description, Xia En suddenly woke up. ??This affairs officer under [Lord of Rust] is actually a necromantic machine? ! No, its not just one. The same is true for other mechanical puppets. ? No wonder Xia En couldn''t feel any power of the steam core from them. That weird black mud may also be a manifestation of the necromantic energy. ?So, is the essence of this [Rust Lord]... a necromancer? ?Xia En was startled by his guess, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was a slight possibility. ??If [The Lord of Rust] can transform mechanical skeletons into undead creatures, then the discarded steel in this city will undoubtedly be an inexhaustible material! But guesses are just guesses after all, and nothing is conclusive until it is confirmed. at this time. Jack in the crowd was the first to react and said in surprise. Brother, your skills are really extraordinary. ?Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and smiled lightly: "Boss Jack, as long as you don''t mind my meddling." "how come?" Jack said frankly: "I had planned to fight with them, but I couldn''t allow them to take away my most beloved Anna." "But...if you hadn''t taken action, brother, I''m afraid it would have been much worse." Xia En couldn''t help but asked out of curiosity: "Do I still need to serve in this [rusty waste city] to live?" What does live labor and death labor mean? ?Jack sighed: "Brother, come with me. When you see this, you will understand." ?Soon, Old Jack took Shane to a small room on the side of the bar. ?As soon as he walked into the room, a smell of white turbid steam with a strange smell hit his face. After seeing the scene in the room clearly, even Xia En couldn''t help but hold his breath. ?In this small room, one after another highly rusted mechanical puppets are displayed like corpses. ?Pipes extend from them and are connected to the thick pipes on the walls. Murky steam is produced from the steam core in the puppets'' bodies and injected into the pipes to become usable energy. "This is?" Jack said quietly: "In fact, before the great flood came, the city lord had hesitated whether to embark on this irreversible path." One of the important difficulties is that traditional steam engines, no matter how developed they are, still need combustion to operate. But under this sea water, how can there be so much oxygen for burning? However, the [Heart of Steam] invented by that genius made everything turn around. This extraordinary steam creation has achieved a transformation at a more microscopic level. Just by inputting materials, the heart of the machine can continuously produce abundant steam. What an epoch-making and incredible invention this is! Its natural that it will become popular throughout the city and become the indispensable core of various steam installations. "only" ?Jack paused and let out a heavy sigh: "That genius had good intentions, but he neglected one thing." After being transformed into machines, humans with [Steam Heart] themselves have become a tool, a resource, and a... consumable. The so-called service is nothing more than using us as tools to create steam for the [Rust Lord]! Jack looked at the people lying in the room again. Dead warriors, just like these people, their consciousness has entered a dormant state and cannot perceive external objects. Only the [Steam Heart] still maintains weak vitality. As for forced labor, people are imprisoned in place, watching helplessly as their steam is produced and squeezed out. Beyond that, nothing can be done. Day after day, year after year, until...the day it breaks. After hearing these words, Xia En''s hair stood on end. ?Compared to the vampires'' direct blood-drinking and massacre, this kind of alienation of people actually reveals a stronger sense of terror. Then they Everyone here voluntarily goes into hibernation. ?Jack looked at those familiar faces and said sadly: "For them, there is no point in continuing to live. The long life is a kind of torture." So I chose this way of self-liberation. If it werent for Anna, maybe... I would have become one of them. The two of them fell silent in unison. After a moment, Jack seemed to have thought about it for a long time and said, "Actually, I have another unwelcome request." I want to ask you... to rescue someone on the [Snake of the Atrium]. (End of this chapter) Chapter 117 Return with a full load and strengthen again! Chapter 117 Returns with a full load, strengthened again! Save people? Xia En''s heart moved and asked: "Who should be saved?" Caesar IX. Jack explained: In fact, the current [Rust King] is not the original owner of this city. He was merely a usurper, a greedy tyrant, and it was only after he came to power that the rule of labor service began. Xia En looked thoughtful: "So, Caesar IX is the king who has been usurped?" Yes and no. ?) Jack also knew that his statement was a bit difficult to understand, and immediately said: "The original Caesar I was indeed the city lord who was usurped by the [Rusty King]." But the Caesars after him are only rebels who inherited his memory, character and legacy. ? He ??originally had the idea of ????spawning monsters and leveling up in [Rust Waste City], so it was natural to go to the "high-level area" - [Snake in the Atrium]. Of course, I wont let you work in vain. I can help you collect precious metals, steam devices, or other treasures. ?As an aboriginal, Jack definitely has more ways to collect metals and other materials than he, an outsider, does. So, what do you want? By the way, it would be best if we could rescue Caesar IX. If we couldn''t, there would be no loss. ??The blue light in Jack''s eyes was unusually deep: "Some people say that this is the backdoor that Caesar set up in the mechanical puppet." But when he thought about it, he had just beheaded the affairs officer of [Lord of Rust]... The strange thing is that only one Caesar will appear at the same time, and when this Caesar dies, a new successor will be born. Wait, memory and personality? And character is determined by memory. Besides, if you escape this service, there will be another time, and the next time. There is also this [Secret Gold], which I will also give to you as a thank you gift and an early deposit. After hearing this, Xia En felt quite moved. ?This is exactly what he needs. To put it bluntly, this is a cooperation model similar to that of the Sea Tribe in Coral City. But no matter what the truth is, generation after generation of Caesars are born, and without exception, they will all embark on the path of resisting the [Rust King]. Its appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Only by overthrowing the rule of this usurping tyrant can we have a chance of survival. Yes, the Caesar in each life was actually a humanoid machine like me, one of the ordinary residents of the city. ?Besides, can people who have been transformed into machines still give birth to future generations? Their behavior and character will continue to move closer to the city lord during the process of awakening their memories, and they will become a brand new Caesar. The two hands quickly clasped together. [Gluttony Steam Turbine] The current number of cores that can be assembled is five. Previously, it was only equipped with a fourth-generation steam heart, and its efficiency has greatly improved. The Rust King was so afraid of Caesar IX that he didnt dare to let him die or live, so he imprisoned him on the [Snake of the Atrium] and used it as living fuel. Heart of Steam of the Sixth Generation!? They issue tasks, and Shane gets paid for completing them. Only one day, they will suddenly wake up to the memory of Caesar. ?Shaan silently chewed the shocking information and swallowed it for digestion. ?The only problem is that Xia En will offend the current ruler of the city, [The Rusty Lord]. Xia En suddenly realized something and said in surprise: "Could it be that..." The heart of steam from the sixth generation, this is a good thing that you cant even see on the sea. The voice coming from under Jacks metal body was firm: The clerk dies here, and the [Rust Lord] will definitely not let it go. Hearing this, Xia En looked happy. "So, I would like to ask you to rescue Caesar IX, or...give him relief!" This [Ghost Gold] is also a good thing. It is an activated metal. It is extremely compatible and can be used to strengthen almost any device. Not long after, Jack took out two beautiful brass spheres, a dark gold nugget, and a special mechanical device. Okay, the problem is solved. Some people say that this is a terrible and crazy curse. And among them, Caesar IX is only one step away from success. ?This explanation still sounds a bit strange. Finally, there is an underwater sound-producing device, with which communication can also be carried out in sea water. ?Shaan stretched out his hand: "The deal is done." ??If these two sixth-generation cores are installed, it will obviously make the speed of the [Black Swan] soar again! Xia En was not polite and took the gifts directly and asked. Then how can I contact you in the future? ?Jack thought for a while and said: "There is only one black spire in the copper and iron area. I will send someone to wait at the bottom of the tower." Not long. Shane left the bar. ?However, he was not in a hurry to attack the monsters in the [Snake of the Atrium]. Instead, he first returned his consciousness to the original body on the [Black Swan] and let Joey and An dive into the sea. After the last storm, Joey is no longer afraid of the sea water. In other words, she has accepted the Siren bloodline in her body and said goodbye to her past self. Thats why I volunteered to dive into the sea, hoping to be a help to Mr. Captain. Xia En is naturally very satisfied with his strong enthusiasm for his employees, and there is no reason to suppress them. As for the existence of the projected body? To be honest, Shane no longer cares about being exposed to the crew. As a Mystic Pathfinder, it is normal for me to have some special abilities! How Joey and others will understand it is their business.?????After a moment. As Joey and An continued to dive, they saw a dark and profound figure. ?In the dim sea water, the already deep body is vaguely integrated with the environment, indistinguishable from each other. Its like...this deep sea is his home field! ?The mysterious and restrained temperament reminds people of the dark ocean abyss or the vast starry sky. Is this Mr. Captain in the sea? ?Joys eyes widened and he was filled with surprise. ?Oddly enough, a captain in this state should be a bit scary. ?But Joey has a special sense of closeness inexplicably, as if he has a very comfortable aura about him? I really want to smell it ??Joy''s face turned red and he quickly shook his head to dispel this bold idea. ??Xia En didnt know what was going on in this little girls head, so he spoke directly using the underwater sound-producing device. Our goal this time is to collect the forging and smelting tools Feiya needs. These should not be difficult to find in the factory area. If you encounter a human-shaped metal puppet, please notify me as soon as possible and dont wait for a fight. ??Although Fei Ya is an excellent steam mechanic, it is difficult for a woman to make a meal without straw. The supporting equipment on the [Black Swan] is obviously not as complete as that on Silver Moon Island, so the first wave of raids was carried out in the [Factory Area]. ?Of course, Shane could have entrusted this matter to Jack. But if you owe too many favors, it will be very troublesome to pay them back. For trivial matters beyond the scope of trading, it is better to resolve them yourself. Subsequently, a group of three people began to search patiently in the engineering area of ??the city. I have to say that after transforming into a mermaid form, Joey''s movements in the sea are extremely flexible and agile, only slightly inferior to Shane''s. With the three of them acting together, the efficiency was naturally greatly improved. It only took half an hour to find all the tools Fei Ya requested. During this period, they also encountered a few crazy mechanical puppets. But with An as the tank, Joey as the mage and support, and Shane as the main attacker, they pose no threat at all. simultaneously! ??Xia En pulled out the sword from a puppet frozen by Joey, and absorbed the [Secret Sea Crystal] in its body, thinking to himself. It seems that it would be good to form a team occasionally for next time. In terms of efficiency alone, its no worse than me upgrading alone. "but" ?Looking at An, who was moving a little slowly, Xia En knew that he needed to go to the sea to take a breather. Different from the projection body that can commit suicide at will, there are undoubtedly more factors to consider when taking the crew into the sea, as well as protecting their safety. ?For now, crews can only explore these safer areas. With a thought flashing through his mind, Xia En quickly ordered the two of them to put the loot into the space ring and bring it back to the ship, while he walked towards the railway track not far away. The shaking ground, the undercurrents in the sea water, and the rising water temperature all indicate... Snake of the Atrium, is coming soon! ??The penetrating sound of the whistle echoed in the sea water and pierced Xia En''s eardrums. The turbulent undercurrent roared in, causing Xia En''s body to shake slightly. ?In the scattered pale light, a giant steel snake burst into his field of vision. Submarine is over! ?Shaan opened his eyes in the captain''s cabin and cursed secretly: "It''s actually a torpedo?" The first challenge to the [Snake of the Atrium] failed without any surprise. ??He didn''t even get on the train before he was blown to pieces by the torpedoes fired from all directions, and died in a miserable manner. ?However, as long as you have experienced such a sneak attack once, you will be able to react next time. ?Shaan silently kept this grudge in his heart and then came to the deck. ??Joy and the other three are excitedly counting the harvest of this dive. Molten coresmall boilerpressurized pumpmetal capsule Oh, I actually found this thing for you! How cool! Feiya spat out one term after another that was extremely unfamiliar to Xia En, and her pretty little face was full of excitement. Although some are a little rusty, they are all still usable. It deserves to be the capital of steam! With these, its no problem to build a small laboratory! Mr. Captain, thank you for your hard work. Xia En chuckled and said, "Don''t worry, there''s still a big surprise." Speaking, he asked Joey to take out the yellow heart of steam. ?The metal structure seems to be constantly contracting, beating like a heart. This is... the Heart of Steam! Feiya''s eyes flashed: "Is it still a model I''ve never seen before?" If you install this on a steam turbine, you may be able to stimulate some new features! Xia En raised his eyebrows: "New characteristics?" Just like people have different talents, steam machinery also has different special properties... Hey, I cant explain it clearly in words, but you will understand it after installation! Feiya thought of it and did it. She hurriedly took the heart of steam to the depths of the cabin and began to strengthen it. (End of this chapter) Chapter 118 Go on a killing spree and speed through the dungeon! Chapter 118: A killing spree, speed through the dungeon! Black Swan, in the turbine room on the lower level. The God of Steam and Steel is above, please bear witness! ? Fei Ya was mumbling words, while Milli and Dutch around him evaporated holy steam, singing babbling songs, perfectly functioning as an atmosphere group. ?However, the little steamer in the center of the cabin didn''t seem to care much about the **** he talked about. The boiler trembled and made a "Gulu" grunt. ?It''s like yawning, or asking - When will dinner be served? ?Compared to some time ago, this steam turbine has grown visibly to the naked eye, with more gears, connecting rods and pipes running inside it. ?The steam turbine alone can increase the speed of the [Black Swan] by up to 15 points! Its just that Xiaozhan is worthy of the name of Gluttony. These days, all the armor and iron swords obtained from [Coral City] have gone into its belly. Whether its rusty or not, its ready for almost all metals. Type: Component Gulu? ?Mili and Dutch were trembling on the side. They were both steam machines, so they were more aware of Xiao Zhan''s transformation. Xia En walked up to Xiao Zhan and placed the [Heart of Steam] on its body surface. Effect 1: GluttonyThis machine is extremely gluttonous and will continue to grow after being fed metal. ! Dong dong dong! ?Three dull heartbeats rang out from inside the steam turbine, and they gradually overlapped and became indistinguishable from each other. ?Quality: Rare Captain, you are its master, and it is up to you to complete the final step of blessing! Powerful surging power rushes through those pipes and gears. The steam turbine let out a somewhat disappointed grunt, but at the same time, the [Heart of Steam] in contact with its body also underwent strange changes. Effect 2: Overload - It can burst out of power beyond normal in a short period of time, and can increase the speed by up to 30 points. The price is that it will fall into a temporary dormant state after overloading. Having a great appetite! At this time, Feiya turned her head and spoke to Xia En. ?Amidst the sound of the gears, the two cores decomposed into countless small metal parts, scrambling to get into Xiao Zhan''s body. Feiya couldn''t help but smile: "The blessing has been accomplished! Praise the God of Steam and Steel!" Effect 3: Self-regeneration - the parts in its body will replace itself and continuously regenerate, thus repairing the durability of the machine and eliminating rusted metal. Gluttony Steam Turbine (Heart of Steam) Description: When installed on a ship, it can increase the "Speed" attribute by 20 points! Hearing this, Xia En warned seriously: "This is not food, it is your heart." In an instant, the momentum of the entire machine changed instantly, and the roar began to vibrate. Oh? Me? Note: Number of cores that can be equipped (3/5) 20 oclock speed? So fierce! ??Xia En couldn''t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Compared to the 15-point speed given before, this is a full 5-point improvement. As expected of two sixth-generation [Steam Hearts], the effect is immediate. ?At this moment, he also understood what Feiya meant by "characteristics". An [overload], which enhances the explosive capacity of the steam turbine. A [self-regeneration], which can restore its durability. Furthermore, the fact that it wont rust is also a very practical ability for a steam engine on a ship. next moment. The talent of [Captains Majesty] takes effect. The warm current flowed into Xia En''s body through the bond between him and the "Black Swan". With these 5 points of speed added, avoiding the torpedo coverage of [Snake of the Atrium] will not be a problem! Xia En''s mood improved, and he took out a few parts from the space ring and fed them to the steam turbine. Xiao Zhan, you did a good job, please keep up the good work in the future. "Gulu! Gulu!" After feeding, Xia En approached Fei Ya again, took out Youjin, and asked. Have you ever seen this kind of metal? A flash of surprise flashed in Feiya''s eyes: "Is this Youjin?" And, is there such a big piece? This amount of gold can even be sold for 10 gold dragon coins on Silver Moon Island! ??Xia En was also a little surprised: "It''s actually so valuable?" The reason why this metal is so valuable is that it is extremely versatile and can be used to modify almost any device. Then if I say, I can still get a lot of [Youjin], which way do you think I can use it better? "Well" Feiya looked thoughtful: "There are actually not many mechanical devices on the ship." If I had to choose, I might apply [Ghost Gold] to the inside of the hull, which can greatly enhance the strength of the hull. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Can this kind of metal be integrated into the wooden hull?" How else can we say that it is extremely versatile? Fei Ya showed the smile of a professional facing the professional field: "Not to mention wood, even bones and flesh and blood can theoretically become the carrier of [Secret Gold]." ?Xia En touched his chin and suddenly felt a little moved. Integrating [Ghost Gold] into the ship''s hull can obviously enhance the [Sturdiness] attribute and increase its defense again. Then, do as you say. The next day. rusty waste city Xia En looked down from a high place and quickly locked the position and direction of the [Snake in the Atrium]. ?His eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure dived downwards like a ghost. ?Not long after, the roar of the train broke into Xia En''s ears. In fact, it can be seen more clearly from above. This train is like the giant python that surrounds the world, with an extremely huge size. The height and width of each train are also much larger than ordinary carriages. At the moment when Xia En approached the top of the train. Several gloomy torpedoes wandered out from various parts of the body of [Snake of the Atrium]. This seems to be some kind of special self-protection mechanism. ? And those torpedoes are not like ordinary thermal weapons, but creations with extraordinary characteristics. ?Shane could even feel their cold, self-destructive gaze. ?Last time, because he was unprepared, he took the initiative to slash the torpedo with his big sword, and unfortunately died. ?This time, Xia En directly burst out at an unusually high speed, turned into a dark shadow, and shuttled between the torpedoes. Just a moment. He passed through the large net woven by torpedoes and approached the body of the [Snake of the Atrium]. Click! With the sound of glass shattering, Xia En''s body crashed into a car. boom! Since the train was traveling at high speed, Xia En rolled several times under the influence of inertia, smashing the debris around him along the way. ?After finally stopping, he heard a strange mechanical roar coming from around him. Discoverenemiesannihilate Xia En raised his head and saw several mechanical puppets with red eyes, waking up from dormancy. In response, Xia En smiled. ??He doesn''t care why these mechanical puppets are here, whether they are the lackeys of the [Rust Lord]. ?Now, he just wants to go on a killing spree and speed through the dungeon! (End of this chapter) Chapter 119 Congratulations, you broke my limiter! Chapter 119 Congratulations, you broke my limiter! ! A mechanical puppet was slammed against the wall of the carriage, making a muffled sound. ??All the mechanical parts in its body were misaligned, and the red light in its eye sockets flickered and gradually dimmed. The enemy is powerful and cannot be destroyed "Request support" ?After uttering the last sentence, the mechanical puppet fell down and soon stopped moving. At this time, there was no standing mechanical puppet in this carriage. They had either been violently dismantled, or split apart by swords, and fell peacefully throughout the carriage. ?Xia En walked over their broken bodies and absorbed the [Secret Sea Crystal] happily. Ship Soul Level: LV3 (22%)! Its so refreshing. That was just now Click! ?At this moment, the back door of the carriage was opened, and a mechanical puppet over two meters tall with gray-black sludge on its surface walked out. Compared with the [Patrol], the tonnage and charge momentum of the [Heavy Lancer] can be described as terrifying. The human body is amazing, isnt it? After all, they dont have real blood in their bodies, and they dont suffer from the curse effect of [Blood Demonic Sword]. Heavy LancerThe already fragile helmet finally could not withstand the heavy blow and suddenly shattered. [Heavy Lancer] let out a ferocious roar. ?This big alloy gun looks hard and thick enough. It must be easy to use to poke the cores of other puppets, right? I will carry out the orders of the Rusty LordKill without mercy! Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Heavy Lancers? Different types of mechanical puppets?" Immediately, he turned the spear head and stabbed forward with all his strength. Before its head completely shattered, Shane saw two strange dark red flames among the gears, parts and metal pieces. ?However, its sound suddenly stopped, like a jammed gramophone. ! A low muffled sound rang out from the [Heavy Lancer]s head, and numerous cracks emerged from the metal of the helmet. genegene; And this [Heavy Lancer] is obviously a small elite monster among mechanical puppets. Instead, there was a "dang" sound, and the sound of gold and iron colliding was heard. ?But at this moment, he also discovered a problem. But this is more in line with Xia En''s wishes. Also, your big gun is good, now...its mine! There is no operation, its all numerical values! ?The [Heavy Lancer] was hit hard and leaned back slightly, but at the same time, the spear in its hand was still thrust forward. I saw the piercing alloy spear falling on the enemy''s flesh and blood body, but did not pierce his chest as expected. ??It only penetrates the surface layer of the skin and cannot penetrate even an inch deeper. ?However, Xia Ens speed is faster than it! A shadow flashed across the dim water. Even the metal floor of the carriage was shaking violently. In contrast, it is simpler and more direct violence, and it is easier to dismantle the mechanical puppet. The mechanical puppets previously killed all belong to [Patrolers]. Xia En took a long breath and felt refreshed. [Heavy Lancers] discovered the intruder. ?Xia En looked at the prompts on the panel and couldn''t help but grin. "die!" ?But Xia En''s eyes showed no sign of shrinking, instead he was slightly excited. How could this intruders body be so hard? ! Ship Soul Power -2! When it comes to numerical values, he has never been afraid! Xia En pulled it hard and took off the spear of the [Heavy Lancer]. The big sword suddenly fell down on the head! ?Different from ordinary mechanical puppets, it holds an extraordinarily thick alloy spear in its hand. ??The [Blood Demonic Sword] is very useful when cutting vampires, just like chopping vegetables and melons, but it is not very useful when used against these mechanical puppets. Soul Fire? Xia En touched his chin: "Sure enough, is this a kind of undead machine?" He once again absorbed the secret sea crystal of [Heavy Lancer], and an indescribable cold energy also flowed into his body. Think about it, this is the so-called [Necromancer''s psionic energy]. But now, since I also have this talent. Doesnt it mean that I can also be a necromancer? ?Xia Ens expression was a little strange. But after the experiment, he found that things were not that simple. ??Xia En tried to find a scrapped mechanical puppet and injected this mysterious and profound energy into it. ?This machine did have some activity for a short time, but there was no sign of igniting the fire of the soul, nor did it become a being that could speak and move like the [Heavy Lancer]. ?Shaan guessed that this was because he did not master the secret skills related to the necromantic energy. ?For secret arts such as the summoning of the dead, it is not enough to have power, but also to learn relevant knowledge. Xian was a little disappointed that he could not have the "summoning style" or "explosion style" combat methods, but he quickly found another way to use [Necromancer Psionic Energy]. ?This secret power can temporarily aggregate and stick together dead metals, and can also change their shapes. Xia En lowered his head and looked at the body of the [Heavy Lancer] at his feet, and a bold idea came to his mind. It didnt take long. Three [Heavy Lancers] rushed to this carriage. ?Looking at the many damaged mechanical puppets here and the messy scene that looked like they had been destroyed by giant beasts, they couldn''t help but feel a little surprised and uneasy. The intruder this time is very strong! Be careful! Soon, they noticed a [Heavy Lancer] lying in the corner and stepped forward to ask. "are you OK?" Intruder, where is it? ?The unique distorted sound of the sound-producing device comes from under the cracked visor of this [Heavy Lancer]. The intruder...has left... His targetsuspectedpower room! The [Heavy Lancer] three behind the stage vaguely felt that this kind of person was a bit strange, but he did have the aura of the [Rust Lord] on his body, so he had no more doubts. Its actually a power room? Lets go to support! ?One of the [Heavy Lancers] turned decisively and walked towards the rear carriage. At this time, the [Heavy Lancers] who were covered in scars also stood up, which made them very surprised. Your condition...can you still fight? It is my responsibility not to intercept the intruder. ??The wounded man said hoarsely: "I want to... fight for the Lord of Rust!" ?These words immediately convinced the three [Heavy Lancers], and their voices were full of fanatical responses. For the Lord of Rust! Subsequently, a group of four people moved non-stop towards the carriage where the power room was located. But the strange thing is. ?The mechanical puppets in the passing carriages were all safe and sound, and claimed that they had not seen the intruders coming. The [Heavy Lancer], whose face armor was full of cracks, said seriously. "The intruder may have... special... means of disguise..." Cant let down our guard. ?Other mechanical puppets also felt that what he said made sense, so they prepared to patrol the power room. We passed through about a dozen carriages. The puppets came to a closed door. ?There, stands a mechanical puppet like a fortress. ?Its body almost reaches the ceiling of the carriage, and its lower body is integrated with the carriage, indistinguishable from each other. Many black cannon barrels and various weapons are installed on its sixteen arms. Like a King Kong with angry eyes. ?Just standing at the end of the carriage gives people a strong sense of oppression. As these mechanical puppets approached, two dark red lights lit up above the fortress, and a low, cold voice came from them. [Heavy Lancers], what are you doing here? This is not the territory you should set foot on. The leader of the [Heavy Lancers] quickly stepped forward: "Lord [City Protector], an intruder has broken into the [Snake of the Atrium]." The target... appears to be the powerhouse. "Ah" ??The mechanical fortress named [City Protector] sneered: "You guys should stand down." I am guarding this place, and no intruders can break through. "If he dares to come, what awaits him...is a miserable death!" The mechanical puppets looked at each other for a few times, and finally walked silently in the direction they came from. ?Although this [city protector]''s words are arrogant, it does have such strength and confidence. Just quickly. intila in a ?a???Heavy Lancer?a??a? that was covered in scars but had not left yet. ?But upon closer inspection, it felt that something was wrong with this puppet. Under that broken body, there seemed to be something extremely terrifying hidden! Why havent you left yet? Wait a minute, youre not a [Heavy Lancer], you are ??This [City Protector]''s reaction was not unpleasant. After noticing the abnormality, a mechanical arm used a huge force and slammed into the puppet below. Boom! ! ? ?As the heavy water flowed down, the metal on the surface of the mechanical puppet was continuously squeezed, cracks appeared, until it broke! However, from the broken metal armor, a big dark hand stretched out. Congratulations, you broke my limiter. next moment. The physical fist collided with the giant mechanical hand. The body size difference is dozens of times. boom! The violent water flow expanded and swept across with the collision of the two fists! ?The seemingly fragile and small physical fist was intact, but fine cracks began to spread on the giant mechanical hand. "How can it be!?" [City Protector] roared in disbelief. This seriously injured [Heavy Lancer] is none other than Xia En. ?Although he was very confident in his own strength, he didn''t know where the power room where the servants were imprisoned was. So he thought of using [Necromancer''s Psionic Energy] to disguise himself, put on the "clothes" of a "Heavy Lancer", and let the mechanical puppets lead the way to the destination. Evidently, his disguise was a great success. At the moment, the only obstacle that is blocking Xia En is this [city protector]! ?Xia En did not hesitate and directly started the "second stage." The secret power surged to the point of violence, expanding within his body like waves. ?Xia En picked up the alloy gun, strode forward, and launched an unstoppable charge towards the mechanical fortress in front of him! (End of this chapter) Chapter 120 Meet the [Blood Duke] again! (Please vote for me! Please subscribe!) Chapter 120 Meeting the Blood Duke again! (Please vote for me! Please subscribe!) The alloy spear was like a giant python, piercing through the sea water in an instant and arriving in front of the [City Defender]. ?After removing the cumbersome metal shell of the [Heavy Lancer] and entering the second stage, Shane''s strength and speed have soared to an extremely exaggerated level. A rough estimate shows that each attribute has probably reached over 60! This is pure brute force, without any skills! Facing such an astonishing spear, the [City Protector] did not dare to neglect at all, and the remaining fifteen giant mechanical hands immediately launched attacks from all angles. Some intercepted them from the front, while others crushed them from above. Some wielded metal blades, while others fired pitch-black projectiles from the barrels. In fact, the most proud thing about [City Protector] is its powerful firepower system. ??If it is above the sea, it can carry dozens of firearms and artillery at the same time, forming a dense cross-fire network. Ordinary second-level mystics cannot get close at all. It is a pity that in this deep and dark sea water, the power of gunpowder weapons has been greatly reduced, and conventional guns and artillery cannot be used at all. ?So, all that is left of the [City Protector] now is its extraordinary strength and defense. But at this time, in these two attributes, Xia En has to be above it! Boom! The giant mechanical hand blocking the spear was easily penetrated, and a large number of gears and parts burst out from the wound. Xia En''s figure did not stop, he let go of the spear, stepped **** the giant mechanical hand coming from beside him, and used the recoil to avoid the mechanical arm pressing down from above. At the same time, the distance between him and the [City Protector] was approaching again! [City Protector] was startled at first, and then laughed sarcastically: "Without weapons, you still want to hurt me?" Weapon? ?Shane smiled cheerfully and raised his right fist. My body is the best weapon! Bang! ! ??Xia En''s right fist landed on the outer shell of the [Fortress Protector], causing an impact like a bomb explosion. A ferocious undercurrent surged in this carriage. On the metal fortress, a clearly visible fist mark suddenly appeared, and it was slightly sunken downwards. The steam core of [City Protector] seemed to pause for a beat. ??Is this intruder crazy? He actually dares to fight against steel with his flesh and blood? ??Moreover, he seems to really be able to do it! ? Isnt one punch enough? Then...one more punch! Subsequently, Xia En began to punch the shell of the [City Protector] one punch after another. ! Boom! Boom! The fists fell like a violent storm. A heavy and exaggerated power was introduced into the body of the [City Protector]. I am a warrior blessed by [Lord of Rust], how could I lose to a little bug like you... ??[City Protector] let out an unwilling roar, and all the movable mechanical giant hands moved together in an attempt to block Xia En''s attack. However, when Xia En approached its front door, the outcome was already doomed. ?With just one round of heavy punch bombardment, the core area of ??[City Protector] was smashed to pieces, and the dark red flames inside were extinguished. Ship Soul Experience +5%! After absorbing the [Secret Sea Crystal], Xia En vaguely heard the roar of mechanical puppets moving behind him. ?Hence, he did not dare to stop at all and quickly rushed into the door of the power room. Then lock it back to buy some time. ?As soon as you enter the power room, you can obviously feel that the temperature of the surrounding water has increased a lot. The reason lies in the numerous mechanical puppets lying flat inside and the steam pipes extending from their bodies. It is they who serve as the source of power for this [Snake of the Atrium]. The question now is Where is Caesar IX? ?Shaan looked around. ?In this power room, there are at least hundreds of coffin-like containers on display. It is obviously unrealistic to search for them one by one. ?Just when Xia En was a little worried. From a corner of the power room, a tired voice suddenly came out. Child, are you here to see me? Xia En looked around and found a strange mechanical puppet sitting in the corner. ?It has no limbs, only a thin head on its incomplete chest. At the center of the head''s eyebrows, there is a strange dark golden mark. ?Jack once said to Sean that this is the unique mark of every Caesar. Are you Caesar IX? ?Shaan asked. The broken mechanical puppet said lightly: "To be honest, I prefer my former name to Caesar." You can call meJeffrey. Xia En didn''t care what his name was. He cut off the shackles around him and said, "I''m here to take you away." ?However, Jeffrey''s reaction was somewhat beyond Sean''s expectation. Take me away? Why? Oh, I see, you want to use Caesars name again to resist [The Rusty Lord], right? Jeffrey smiled miserably and said: "Yes, I was promoted and supported by you back then, and I ended up where I am now." Xia En frowned and prepared to adopt the second option. But at this time, Jeffrey continued: "Young man, I know what you are thinking." This should also be the fate of every generation of Caesars. But before that, can I say a few more words? After hesitating for a moment, Shane decided to give Caesar IX a decent death. Thank you, stranger. After thanking him, Jeffrey said slowly with some reminiscence in his tone. Actually, before I got Caesars memory, I was just an ordinary person. I was very timid and had no outstanding abilities. I just lived in a hazy state in this rusty steel jungle. But on that day, a miracle happened. There was a mark that belonged to Caesar on my body, and the memories of the past began to resurface in my mind. I become positive, optimistic and charming! "And those promising people gathered around me and called me ''Caesar IX''. This was of course a very beautiful experience, so beautiful that it seemed like a dream." Speaking of this, Jeffrey sighed. However, as the time passed for me to obtain the brand, the memories of Caesars middle age and old age flooded into my mind, and I couldnt help but have some thoughts. Am I Caesar who has regained his soul through a dead body, or am I Jeffrey who has gained a memory? I cant tell the difference, I really cant tell the difference! I hate my past while enjoying the benefits of being a Caesar. At this moment, I also took on the responsibility of resisting the [Rust Lord]. He was a very formidable enemy. Even Caesars memory still retains the fear of him. Rather than saying that I resisted him voluntarily, it is better to say that the residents of this city forced me to resist. And the result...you saw it. Actually, after saying so much, I only have one question ?Jeffrey looked at Shane, as if expecting him to give an answer. Why me? Shaan walked towards Jeffrey silently. ?This is destined to be a question without an answer, and perhaps what Jeffrey wants is just a silent listener. After Xia En cut off the head of this desperate man. Many mechanical puppets broke into the power room and drowned him like a tide. The next day. ?Shaan came to the black spiers of the [Copper and Iron Zone]. ?There, he met Jack''s informant. After the briefing, Jack came to Shane, his eyes full of surprise, and he sighed. Hey man, you are too efficient. I have already heard from other people in the city what happened yesterday, saying that a black shadow caused a great disturbance in the [Snake of the Atrium], and even the [City Protector] demolished one. Speaking of this, Jack reminded again: "You have to be careful from now on." "[The Rusty Lord] is very vengeful. If you cause such a big trouble, if you are discovered in the future, I am afraid that it will attract his encirclement and suppression." Xia En smiled and said nothing. With the experience of [Blood Moon Secret Realm], he had a lot of experience in being wanted. Then he took out Jeffrey''s head. Sure enough ?Jack''s tone dropped slightly, but he was not surprised, and he took out a larger metal container. I also brought the [Youjin] as promised, and there are some other metals, please check carefully. ?Xia En glanced at it, and a few lines of text appeared in front of his eyes. Mithril ?Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: Silver containing secret power. Can be used to cast magic equipment and enhance magic affinity. It is also an excellent casting material. Black Steel Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: Steel forged from special materials, black in color and very strong in nature. Suitable for forging into bladed weapons. In addition to these two metals, there are also many good metal materials. Even if it is not used, it can be fed to [Gluttony Steam Turbine] as a snack. I have to say that Jack is also an honest man. These rare metals have a lot of weight, especially [Black Steel], which is more than enough to forge one or two pieces of armor. ?Using these metal materials, it might be possible to update the crew''s equipment. After counting, Xia En showed a satisfied smile. Its a pleasure to work with. ?Jack nodded and said: "Well, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate next time." Not long. ?Shaan asked the crew to go to sea and collect these precious metals in case of emergency. However, these trophies have just been collected. Xia En was just about to kill some more monsters. On the deck of the Black Swan, a rapid and continuous alarm bell suddenly sounded. Xia En immediately released his submersible state, rushed out of the captain''s cabin and came to the deck. Joy, as a lookout, reported immediately. Report Captain! A large sailing ship appears in the southwest! Several **** ships are following! Hearing this, Xia En looked to the northwest. I saw on the sea with sharp towers, a three-masted sailboat with a scarlet paint on its hull, leading several **** ships, approaching in a mighty manner! And the rose-bottomed sail made Joey''s voice tremble a little. Thats...the [Blood Duke]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 121 Escape at sea! Open the wound! Chapter 121 Escape at sea! Open the wound! "[Blood Duke]...could it be?!" Hearing this name, Feiya immediately thought of the Duke Island where he and the captain were jointly wanted. That ship is here to hunt us? I guess not. Xia En looked at the fleet not far away and thought: "There are also salvage ships among them. Their purpose is to come to [Rust Waste City] to salvage the heritage." "but" ?Xia En didnt finish what he said, but all the crew members understood what he meant. Now, since they met in this sea area, the [Blood Duke] obviously will not let them go! Not long after Xia En came to the deck. A sharp and loud whistle sounded from the fleet not far away! ?This sound is like a charging horn. ?It also completely opened the curtain on this maritime encounter. In an instant, several smaller steamships were attacking the Black Swan in a menacing manner, like fierce and greedy hyenas! At this time, Xia En showed the calmness that a captain should have and ordered. Everyone, get back to your place! Raise the anchor, hoist the sail, and set sail! Advance at maximum speed, target, southeast! Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, Captain!" ??The situation at this moment is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, but with Xia En on the boat, they feel a strong sense of confidence and security. They firmly believe that the captain will lead them out of danger! ?At the same time that the crew members started to take action, Xia En walked to the rudder again and held the dark solid steering wheel. Xiao Hei, Im going to ask you for help this time. Want to serve you! ??The long whistle echoed on the sea surface, and the [Black Swan] turned from static in an instant, continuously accelerating on the sea surface, and moving forward through the waves! Blood Duke. In the luxurious cabin on the upper deck. Deep inside the lavender curtain, the overlapping and violently moving figures stopped temporarily for some reason. What a terrible man, he cant even make me happy. Duke Nova''s slightly hoarse voice sounded. Hearing this, the handsome man in the curtain immediately trembled and said quickly: "My lord, Duke, please...please..." I feel a little unwell today, tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely... The man''s voice stopped suddenly, replaced by a weird sucking sound. ?It was definitely not a gentle and ambiguous caress, but more like a hungry beast gnawing on its prey! After a while, there was only one sound of breathing in the curtain. Dong dong! A knock came from outside the door. Its Bruno, whats the matter? ??The new butler Bruno pushed in the door. Compared with when he first took office, his appearance was visibly older, and he also had a few more white hairs on his head. The only thing that remains unchanged is the awe in his demeanor. Bruno lowered his head and reported respectfully: "The lookout found traces of the [Black Swan] in the nearby waters." [Black Swan]? Duke Nova thought for a moment before he remembered the origin of this ship. Oh, its the wanted boat carrying the [Silver Moon Traitor], right? Comparing with the last time she heard the name [Black Swan], she had some impressions, but still not much. I didnt expect such a surprise, so lets send a few ships to sink it. ?Bruno nodded and said: "Four **** ships have already set off." "but" But what? "Your Majesty, with all due respect, I''m afraid we can''t take down the Black Swan with just those four **** ships." ?Bruno''s tone was a little serious. ?Different from Duke Nova, he was deeply impressed by the [Black Swan]. After all, he was able to become the Duke''s butler precisely because of the conflict between Sage and the Black Swan. ?Besides, that ship was originally just a small salvage ship that was not popular in the industry, but in less than half a year, it had gained quite a reputation on Silver Moon Island. ?? Its captain, Xia En, has jumped from an ordinary person who was heavily in debt to a second-level mystic! All signs indicate that this ship and its captain have amazing potential! ?Brunos idea is simple. ??Since the Duke has made a grudge against the [Black Swan], rather than underestimate the other party, let it have the opportunity to escape and come back for revenge when it becomes stronger. Its better to take advantage of the fact that the [Blood Duke] has the absolute advantage now, attack with all your strength, and crush it with thunder! ?Bruno explained his idea to Duke Nova and said. I request... to use the forbidden relic, and let the [Blood Duke] take action as well. Duke Nova thought for a moment: "Your statement is not unreasonable." In that case, do as you are told. As for the sacrifices, choose them from among the slaves. "yes!" ?Soon, Bruno brought several slaves to a room deep in the cabin. He slit the throats of slaves one after another. ??Blood gurgled out and gathered into a stream on the floor, eventually flowing into a scarlet ship sculpture in the center. Under the moisture of the blood, the boat sculpture looked even more vivid, as if it had come alive. ? Bruno muttered something: "...Use your soul as a sacrifice, please place a curse on the [Black Swan]." ?However, at this moment, the Scarlet Ship Eagle remained indifferent, as if waiting for something. ?Bruno was shocked. The sacrifice is not enough? He knew that the larger and mysterious the ship, the greater the cost of casting a curse. But [Black Swan] is obviously just a small boat, why does it need so many sacrifices? But the sacrifice has begun and cannot be stopped. Otherwise, it will in turn cause backlash to the [Blood Duke]. ?Bruno had to bring more slaves to continue the process. The more sacrifices were made, the more frightened Bruno became. This number was enough to curse a ship like the Blood Duke! Until the 35th slave''s blood is absorbed. ??The scarlet ship eagle just let out a sigh of satisfaction. Suddenly, a faint red light bloomed on the ship sculpture. A strange and mysterious force flows out from it, flows into the sea, and attaches itself to the hull of the "Black Swan". On the deck. Master... feels so uncomfortable... Xiao Hei''s voice came into my mind. ??Xia En''s expression suddenly changed. He could feel that there was some kind of cold and sticky power falling on the [Black Swan]. ?Hindering the progress of the ship, the speed of the entire ship began to decrease continuously. Your ship is cursed by a forbidden relic! Acquire the status "Blood Sacrifice Curse"! Description: A curse that uses the life of a living person as a sacrifice. Black Swan''s "Speed" -10! Duration: 7 days! ?Seeing these lines of information, Xia En''s face became more and more gloomy. It is not difficult to guess that this is exactly what the Blood Duke did. ?At the original speed of the [Black Swan], the distance between it and those **** ships is constantly increasing, and it is only a matter of time before it can throw them away. However, now, the speed of the two has gradually become equal, and the distance has a tendency to shorten. Worse is Xia En looked at the giant thing that started to move on the sea, his eyes a little cold. At this time, the [Blood Duke] also moved! It seems you really want to kill me! ?Xia En took a long breath and forced himself to calm down. ??The only good news now is that the attributes brought by [Captains Majesty] are permanent bonuses and will not affect his own combat effectiveness because [Black Swan] is cursed. Xia En thought quickly while looking at the **** ship chasing behind him. At the current speed, we will be overtaken by them sooner or later. But there is nothing to be afraid of in a simple battle with the **** ship. The key is not to be dragged by them. Otherwise, once the [Blood Duke] approaches, the chances of winning will be extremely slim. The only chance of survival is to open a wound and forcibly distance ourselves before the encirclement net is formed. Exactly what Shane thought. ?After discovering that the speed of the [Black Swan] dropped sharply, the four **** ships began to quickly approach in an outflanking manner, and an encirclement net was forming. A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, and he locked onto the **** ship closest to [Black Swan]. Everyone, prepare for the battle! The battle must be resolved within half a minute! ?This requirement sounds a bit harsh, but no one questioned it. ?All the crew members took out their weapons one after another, with determination on their faces, ready to fight. Aboard the **** ship [Tiexi]. ?Captain Sanson looked at the [Black Swan] not far away, with a flash of greed in his eyes. In his eyes, this is not a ship, but 500 gold dragon coins! ??If he could catch the captain of this ship, he might even be appreciated by the Duke and become the master of the Duke''s Island. At this time. The [Black Swan] in the field of vision suddenly turned, accelerated, and rushed straight towards the [Iron Rhinoceros]! You are treating me like a soft persimmon! ?Sanson was startled at first, then sneered: "You''ve come just in time! I''ll take your reward!" As a second-level secret path user, he has such confidence! ?Besides, he doesnt even need to fight the Black Swan to the end. As long as he persists until other **** ships arrive, victory will be within easy reach. It was this moment of contempt in Sansong''s heart that made him make the most wrong decision in his life. He neither accelerated nor slowed down, nor did he turn the ship''s bow. He just waited for the Black Swan to approach. As a result, the flanks of the [Iron Rhinoceros] were exposed to the [Black Swan] without any hindrance! Ship, captain! ?Some sailors noticed something unusual and couldn''t help but exclaimed. Its about to hit! Its about to hit! "What!?" ?Sanson was shocked: "Is he crazy?" The [Black Swan] in front of us has no tendency to slow down at all. It is like a crazy bull, charging forward with indomitable momentum! At this time, it was already too late for the [Tiexi] to change course! ! A violent impact occurred the next moment. The hull of the [Tiexi] shook violently, and a huge gap immediately appeared on the surface of the hull, and it was still expanding. Many sailors who did not react were thrown out of the ship and fell into the sea. Subsequently, fierce fireballs and raging steam struck together, starting the killing on the deck. (End of this chapter) Chapter 122 The blessing of the storm, the favor of the sea! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 122 The blessing of the storm and the care of the sea! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Boom! ??The fireball technique with high temperature came from the wand in Joey''s hand and crashed onto the deck of the Iron Rhinoceros. ?The sailors, who were already reeling due to the impact, were caught off guard and howled in the explosion in the fireball. at the same time. ??The [Titan''s Grip] in Feiya''s hand also exploded with powerful power. ?Each time the steam is ejected, several sailors can be reduced to a pulp. ??The most lethal ones are the two figures in the crowd wielding big swords. Although An''s role under the sea is getting smaller and smaller, in fact, his strength is getting stronger every day as Xia En becomes stronger. ??And this mysterious armor allows him to take into account both defense and attack. It is as reliable as an iron tower and as indestructible as a chariot. When fighting an enemy of equal strength, this advantage may not be obvious yet. But in front of these ordinary sailors, An was undoubtedly like a meat grinder, harvesting their lives wantonly. ?At this time, Sansong, who was knocked unconscious, came back to his senses. ?Looking at the battle situation on the deck, he suddenly realized a very terrifying fact. Are all this guys crew members Mystics? ??Moreover, judging from their methods, even the weakest among them is not something they can easily deal with. ?Just when Sanson was horrified. ??The figure holding a **** sword discovered him. After clearing all the obstacles around him with one sword, the man suddenly stepped on the deck and approached Sanson at an astonishing speed! ?At this time, Sansong was able to see the other party''s appearance clearly. ??That is a young and handsome young man, with light golden hair fluttering in the strong wind, and blue eyes that are reminiscent of the sea under the sun. ??But he is obviously such a handsome and handsome man, but he exudes a heart-stopping aura, as if he is a giant beast from the deep sea! This is...the captain of the [Black Swan]? ?Sangsong originally thought that he could last at least a few rounds in front of this man. But when the other party really came to him, he realized that he was wrong, and he was very wrong! The terrible coercion fell on Sanson, making his blood freeze and his whole body stiff, making it difficult to move. The next moment. The fishy wind is coming! ??The **** sword fell from above at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye! ?All Sanson could do was to raise the scimitar in his hand. simultaneously! The man''s flesh and blood were split apart by the sword together with the scimitar! Killed the captain of the Iron Rhinoceros with one sword, but Xia En did not relax and shouted to other crew members: "Blow up the operation room and evacuate immediately!" Boom! Amidst the explosion, everyone returned to the deck of the [Black Swan]. The entire boarding battle lasted less than half a minute, not even twenty seconds. ?With no one driving, the [Black Swan] has separated from the hull of the [Tie Rhino] and started to increase speed. Leave it behind in the blink of an eye. ?Looking at the black smoke billowing from the [Tiexi] behind him, Xia En stroked the rudder a little distressedly. Xiao Hei, thank you for your hard work. Master, I can still hold on! ??The impact just now did not cause no damage to the [Black Swan]. The prompt on the panel [Durability: 72/100 (front hull damaged)] is enough to illustrate this point. ?However, in the situation just now, if you want to make [Tie Rhino] lose its pursuit ability as quickly as possible, you can only rely on [Black Swan]''s powerful solid attributes. This part of the durability loss is undoubtedly valuable. With the [Tiexi] unable to pursue, a large gap immediately appeared in the encirclement network formed by the four **** ships. ??As long as they take advantage of the opportunity to react and move forward at full speed, you can probably escape from this sea area. But at this moment, a gust of wind came to Xia En''s ears. ?This is different from the ordinary sea breeze, with some extraordinary characteristics. The wind is blowing? No ?Xia En suddenly turned his head and looked at the [Blood Duke] far behind him. I saw a sudden burst of strange air currents surrounding the sailboat, shrouding it like a veil, pushing the sails and waves forward. If you listen carefully, you can hear sounds like murmuring and whispering. ?The most bizarre thing is that this wind and wave actually gives people a sense of sanctity, as if it can drive away evil spirits and monsters. Damn it! The whisper of the storm... This is the blessing of the Storm Goddess! As a priest, Fei Ya quickly recognized the origin of this storm and could not help but curse. "It is said that the Storm Goddess is not afraid of meat and vegetables for her believers. Now it seems that she is really right!" "The blessing of the storm..." ?Xia Ens eyes narrowed slightly. Just by hearing the name, he could guess where the storm came from. In addition to the vampires, there must have been many priests from the Church of Storms on the [Blood Duke]. With their prayers, this blessing of the goddess was summoned. At this moment, with the help of wind and waves. The huge hull of the [Blood Duke] actually showed a speed faster than that of a small ship, and it was chasing the [Black Swan] all the way! ?Seeing this scene, Xia En''s heart sank a little bit. He actually has one final trump card, which is the steam turbine''s newly acquired [overload] feature. But once it cannot get rid of these pursuers during the [overload] period, the steam turbine will fall into a dormant state. Do you want to use it now? Xia En was in a rare state of hesitation. Suddenly, a flash of white on the sea ahead caught his eye. ?That is a vast white fog! The thick mist surged and squirmed on the sea surface, like a strange living creature. No one knows when they appeared. ?Perhaps they have always been there, or perhaps they were not formed at sea until the last second. At the same time, there was a special reaction from the [Siren Scale] in [Ring of the Apocalypse]. Mr. Captain! ?Joy on the side also said in surprise: "The scales are getting hot!" Is that the fog where the Siren Islands are? Xia En''s heart moved. The coincidence of encountering this fog at this time may be inseparable from the "blessing of the sea". But there is no doubt that that fog is the last chance of survival for the [Black Swan]! ?Only by breaking into the fog can we use the fog to avoid the pursuit of ships such as the Blood Duke. It''s even possible to counter-kill them in the fog! ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and directly drove the ship towards the white mist. The captain of the Blood Duke saw his intention at a glance and ordered: "Open fire and stop him!" Boom! On the flanks of the [Blood Duke], several artillery pieces roared. ?One cannonball after another, drawing a parabola, landed around the [Black Swan], splashing high water columns. In response, Xia En chose to fight back. Boom! boom! boom! ?The cannonballs, dyed with a dark luster, hit the surrounding **** ships, and a few landed on the "Blood Duke". However, for its huge hull, this level of shelling could not cause much damage at all. But Xia Ens real purpose is not to kill! Rather, it leaves a special mark on these ships The deep mark! This is something that Xia En discovered not long ago. Among the abilities of [Ship Soul Synchronization], the skill [Deep Touch] is included. In other words, when the cannonballs of [Black Swan] cause damage to other ships, the number of layers of [Seal Mark] can also be superimposed. As for the effect of detonating the mark, Xia En has not tried it, so it is not clear yet. But [Deep Touch] also has another effect, which is to lock and track the marked target! With this mark, Xia En can still sense the tracker''s position even in the fog. Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the distance between the [Black Swan] and the [Blood Duke] continued to shorten, and the situation seemed to be in danger. However, the precious time gained previously played an important role. ?With the sound of the whistle resounding across the sea, the [Black Swan] crashed into the thick white fog. On the [Blood Duke], Bruno asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, do you want to pursue me again?" Duke Nova''s face was gloomy. She didnt expect that even though she had attached so much importance to the [Black Swan] and even used the forbidden relics and the Storm Priest, she would still let the other party escape into the thick white mist. But because of this, there was a kind of anger in her heart that she was being played. At this time, the bounty, the Silver Moon traitor, and the hatred of the vampires are no longer important. She just wanted to use pure violence to crush that small boat into pieces! Follow me! Duke Nova gritted his teeth and coldly ordered: "Today, we must sink that ship at all costs!" Immediately, several **** ships and the huge "Blood Duke" also rushed into the foggy sea. (End of this chapter) Chapter 123 Tentacles in the mist! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) Chapter 123 Tentacles in the Mist! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) After breaking into the thick fog lingering on the sea, Xia Ens first feeling was that it was sticky. The humidity of the surrounding air has increased to an exaggerated level. There is even a sticky moist feeling on the surface of the body, and water droplets are constantly emerging on the deck and mast. To put it bluntly, it''s a bit like "returning to the south" in a certain area in the previous life. at the same time. The visibility of the surrounding seas and the traveling speed of the [Black Swan] have been significantly reduced. ?Shaan exhaled gently to keep himself calm and calm. Entering this fog does not mean that the [Black Swan] is safe. ?According to the rumors on the Seven Seas, there are all kinds of dangers and mysteries in the uncertain fog on this sea. Songs of sirens, seductive visions, giant beasts hiding within... Some people even say that there is an empty ghost ship wandering in this fog. ?That nightmarish ship will harvest any living thing it encounters to satisfy its never-ending emptiness and loneliness. ?It is precisely because of these legends that many captains regard the foggy sea as a restricted area and are unwilling to approach it. ?However, like the mist, they treat every ship that breaks into this place equally. So, it will also become an obstacle to the pursuit of the [Blood Duke]! At this time. ??Xia En sensed that the ship marked with the [Secret Mark] started to move again and gradually tended to get closer. Did you really catch up? He was not surprised by this. Whether it is the "blood sacrifice curse" or the "storm goddess''s blessing", it is enough to illustrate the [Blood Duke]''s determination to hunt him down. But right now Xia En looked at the white fog behind him, but a chill flashed in his eyes. Using this thick fog as a cover, the relationship between hunter and prey is about to be reversed! In the white mist that swells and contracts. Three **** ships are advancing at a dizzying pace. At this distance, they could barely observe the hull of their companions. Once the [Black Swan] appears in sight, they can use the communication device on the ship to inform each other and quickly complete the encirclement. With the lessons learned from the "Tiexi", the captains of the three **** ships no longer dared to look down upon this lone enemy ship. [Purple Feather], continue heading east. After discovering the target ship, report to me as soon as possible! In the captain''s cabin of the Purple Feather, a hoarse and distorted sound came from the special extraordinary item [sound transmission device]. ?Captain Angelo immediately responded: "Yes!" He knew that there was a compass relic on the "Blood Duke" that could determine the approximate position of the enemy, so he did not raise any questions. In fact, this is also the reason why the "Blood Duke" and its **** ships dared to enter the fog to pursue. After ending the call, Angelo looked at the thick fog on the sea with some ominous premonition in his heart. Anyway, this fog is too big. The moist mist sticks to people''s bodies, making them instinctively feel uncomfortable and even a little irritable. Not just him, other sailors also had this reaction. An uneasy and restless atmosphere quietly enveloped the entire Purple Feather. Its not right to go on like this. ??Angelo frowned. As an experienced captain, he knew very well that this kind of environment would keep the crew''s morale low and their combat capabilities significantly reduced. The only good news is that the Black Swan will also be affected by the fog. ??Furthermore, the opponents crew is smaller and the error tolerance is lower. The next step is to see who can survive to the end. Angelo cheered up and was about to stimulate the crew with a bounty, when he suddenly heard a suppressed roar coming from the thick wall of fog. ! The sound was like the collision of something heavy. Angelo quickly recognized the sound and was surprised: "Someone opened fire?" In such a thick fog? In his opinion, no matter how reckless the captain is, he would not make such a stupid decision. ??The hit rate and accuracy of artillery in this era are pitiful. In normal sea areas, whether you can hit or not is a matter of luck. ??And by opening fire rashly in this fog, apart from exposing his position, Angelo really couldn''t think of any other use! The captain of the [Black Swan] must have lost his temper! This is your chance to take him down! After a brief surprise, Angelo showed a touch of ecstasy on his face, and immediately gave the order to move in the direction of the sound of the cannon. But suddenly, a slightly panicked voice came from the sound transmission device. This is Cliff, the captain of the Ice Flower! [Hyohwa] was under shelling! The hull was shot! Asking for support! Asking for support! Angelo''s eyes widened slightly and he murmured in disbelief: "How is that possible?" ??How can a master gunner be able to hit accurately in such dense fog? Or is this just an accident? Boom! Another slightly distorted roar came from the sound transmission device. ?Different from the vague sound through the wall of fog, this time Angelo clearly heard the sound of the cannonballs falling on the deck. It was also mixed with the screams and shouts of the sailors. One cannonball hit can be considered a coincidence, but two hits obviously cannot be explained by "coincidence". Cliff, hold on, Im rushing towards you! ?Angelo said seriously, trying to calm the other person''s emotions. ! Boom! Boom! ?However, the loud noise of several consecutive shells completely drowned out Angelo''s words. Communication with the sound transmission device also seemed to be temporarily interrupted due to vibrations. ?After a while, a low sob sounded again along with the murmur of "". Angelo felt heavy and asked, "Cliff, are you okay?" barely still aliveڡa cannonball just landed in the captains cabinthe sound transmission device was slightly damaged How did he target us? Oh no, damn! Theres something weird about these shells They, they are alive! The captain of another **** ship also joined the communication: "What? A living cannonball?" Are you sure youre right? Absolutely true! ?Cliffs voice was trembling, with fear in his voice: They are eating the deck, squirming, whispering... squeaking... "What a filth and blasphemy..." Storm goddess above...Shasha...please protect us... ??The captain''s trembling voice came along with the noise caused by the damaged sound transmission device. What made Angelo even more horrified was that he seemed to hear a faint, vague whisper among the chaotic sounds. Just listening to this sound, he could even imagine ?Some kind of weird and terrifying thing is crawling on the deck of the Ice Flower, polluting the poor ship wantonly. Angelo swallowed and said with difficulty: "Calm down, hold on a little longer, we will be there soon..." ?However, the comfort of words seems extremely weak at this moment. ?And the captain named Cliff was at the breaking point mentally. Boom! Suddenly, another loud noise, different from the shelling, came from the sound transmission device. What followed was the "squeaking" sound of the deck being squeezed and torn, as well as the horrified shouts and screams of the sailors. Oh my God, what is that? It looks like a tentacle! Its a tentacle with eyes! Dont look at them, youll go crazy! Angelo''s heart became cold and he quickly asked: "What happened?" Captain Cliff, please answer! Captain Cliff, please answer! After a brief noise, Cliff''s voice sounded again, but there was only despair in the voice. Its overShasha[Binghuahao] is over Monsterthat ship is a monster "He has set his sights on us......We can''t escape!" We are all going to die we are all going to die rustle we are all going to die! Subsequently, there was a sound like a blade cutting flesh. Captain Cliff? Captain Cliff!? Angelo called his name again, but there was no response. Until a moment later, another voice with a vibrato sounded: "I am the first mate of the [Binghua], the captain... committed suicide..." ?Before the first mate finished speaking, his voice dropped as if he was being strangled by the throat. Hurryescape He only had time to send out the last warning, and the communication of the [sound transmitting device] was interrupted, leaving only a blind sound of "rustling". At the end of this communication, Angelo and the other crew members in the captain''s cabin felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. There is a kind of depression and fear that is frozen in silence. At this time, the lookout on the deck shouted loudly: "Report to the captain! We are approaching the [Hyohwa]!" Wait a minute, theres something wrong with it... Hearing this, Angelo immediately rushed to the deck and looked at the shadow of the ship not far away. On the foggy sea surface, several thick dark tentacles emerged from the sea surface, clinging to or wrapping around the hull of the "Binghua", climbing onto its deck, constantly rolling and beating, and the ship was The boat is dragged into the deep sea! ?Countless fangs and eyeballs grow on those tentacles, emitting chilling friction and whispers. Intense fear gripped Angelo''s heart like a big hand. ?Profane murmurs echoed in his ears. Goddess, what on earth is that ?But for a moment, Angelo looked at the Ice Flower again, but there were no deep and dark tentacles at all. There was only one ship, the Ice Flower, which was completely devastated, with its hull and deck severely damaged, and it was sinking into the sea. Where are those tentacles? Angelo muttered to himself doubtfully. The sailor next to him asked strangely: "Captain Angelo, where are the tentacles?" Arent those the scars caused by cannonballs? "What!?" Angelo rubbed his brows, unable to tell for a moment whether the scene he just saw was an illusion or a scene that really happened. Boom! ?At this moment, a sudden roar interrupted Angelo''s thinking. He raised his head, looked at the cannonballs falling from the sky, and smiled sadly. Now, is it my turn? (End of this chapter) Chapter 124 Ghost Ship [Diamond Star! 】 Chapter 124 Ghost Ship[Diamond Star! In the thick white fog. As many invisible tentacles emerged from the sea water again, another **** ship was dragged into the deep sea. Ship Soul Level: LV3 (32%)! Looking at the experience bar that had grown again on the panel, Xia En had an unexpected expression on his face. He also just discovered that the enemies killed by detonating the [Secret Mark] will directly increase his experience points. Obviously, there are also a certain number of vampires on these three **** ships. I have to say. The exclusive skill of [Deep Touch] is particularly powerful in this foggy sea. ?The enemy cannot discover the location of the [Black Swan], but the [Black Swan] can lock the enemy with the [Secret Mark] and strike with the [Heavy Whisper Defense Cannon]. These artillery pieces not only have more powerful firepower, but also have effects such as [Whisper], [Pollution], and [Curse], which will put ordinary crew members into a state of panic. ?At this time, detonate the stacked layers of [Secret Touch] to exert a mutually reinforcing frightening effect. ?Xia En also relied on this ability to annihilate all three chasing **** ships. ?However, such remarkable results did not come without cost. It takes a lot of mental energy to summon [Secret Touch], and using it three times in a row puts a huge burden on Xia En. At this moment. ??Xia En clearly felt a dull pain coming from his brain, and his temples were beating slightly, as if there was a tentacle stirring in the brain. ?At the same time, some hazy and strange hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. It seemed like there were hundreds of voices whispering in my ears. In the corner of the corner of the eye, there seemed to be many chaotic and profound things squirming and twisting, emitting ethereal and low murmurs. ?The strange thing is that Shane can actually understand what they are saying. Thats saying The Lord of the Deep...sends greetings to you! After hearing this sentence clearly, many illusions and auditory hallucinations dissipated. Although the feeling of mental exhaustion was still there, it was much better than before. Xia En, who was pale, rubbed his eyebrows, feeling strange: "The Lord of the Deep?" Could it be... that he is the master of all the descendants of Yousui? It seems that if you use this skill too much, it will have some evil side effects. ?But now is obviously not the time to think about these issues. ??The process of annihilating the **** ship took a lot of time after all, which brought the distance between the [Black Swan] and the [Blood Duke] closer again. ?Xia En looked back and could even vaguely see the scarlet outline of the hull. And this distance has already entered the artillery range of the [Blood Duke]! Boom! Almost the next moment. The artillery roared, and the shells made sharp screams and fell from the fog. ?In terms of artillery accuracy and hit rate alone, the [Blood Duke] may be far inferior to the [Black Swan]. But it has an advantage that [Black Swan] cannot matchits hull is big enough! So, it can carry enough artillery! At a conservative estimate, there are no fewer than dozens of artillery pieces on it. The [Blood Duke] does not even need too much positioning and aiming. It only needs to fire a salvo at the sea area where the [Black Swan] is located, and there will always be a few shells that will hit. In contrast. ?With the small body of [Black Swan], no matter how strong it is, its durability will still be reduced to a certain extent after being hit by a cannonball. At this time, even Xia En had to admit that the saying "big is good, big is beautiful" still makes sense. He did remember that in the sailing game in his previous life, there seemed to be a talent that allowed the hull to grow simultaneously. ?Perhaps you need to wait for the ship soul level to continue to increase before you can unlock it? The distracting thoughts in Xia En''s mind disappeared in a flash, and he immediately drove the ship through the rain of shells. ! ?Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from behind the ship. ?The deck shook slightly, causing the crew members to shake. After the inspection, Joey immediately reported: "Captain, the rear side of the ship has been shot!" Durability: 66/100 Just restored some durability through self-healing, and then dropped a bit again. ?Xia Ens face was solemn. The accumulation of [Blood Duke] over the years cannot be underestimated. They probably used some extraordinary method to determine the general position of the [Black Swan]. Coupled with its powerful firepower network, it still brought terrifying suppressive power. The next step is destined to be a battle of resilience and will. ??Xia En''s mood is solemn. ?At this time, Bruno''s mood on board the Blood Duke can only be described as "horrified". [Binghua] [Purple Feather] the first four **** ships dispatched were all wiped out? Is it just a ship? ?Bruno still murmured in disbelief. Facts have proved that his premonition was not wrong. This Black Swan indeed has strange abilities that far exceed those of ordinary ships, and it is worthy of the reward of 500 gold dragon coins. But because of this, Bruno became more determined to eradicate the roots. Otherwise, if the captain continues to be promoted, he may really threaten the [Blood Duke]! ?Beside him, the plump face of Duke Nova was also a little gloomy. I thought I was just catching a little mouse, but I didnt expect to catch four **** ships. Such a loss made Duke Nova even more angry. ?But at this moment, looking at the [Black Swan] that was constantly dodging in the rain of shells below and being hit from time to time, Duke Nova couldn''t help but feel a flash of violent pleasure in his eyes. "Little mouse, just keep running away..." Lets see how long you can escape! But suddenly, the compass pointer in Duke Nova''s hand jumped suddenly. Huh? Are there other ships sailing in this fog? ?This compass is also an extraordinary relic that can sense the position of ships in the nearby sea. It was with the help of Duke Nova that he confirmed the approximate position of the Black Swan. Soon, a sailor came to report: "Your Excellency, traces of unknown ships were found in the southeast, and they seem to be approaching!" Unidentified vessel Duke Nova''s heart skipped a beat, and he had a somewhat ominous premonition. She picked up the telescope and looked southeast. Her identity as a third-level Mystic Pathfinder gave her a vision far beyond that of ordinary people. With the aid of tools, she quickly saw the shadowy hull in the thick fog. It was an ancient, huge and majestic three-masted warship. Looking at the offshore waters, the hull of the [Blood Duke] is already huge. However, compared with its opponent, it has shrunk by a large margin. ?The towering mast seems to reach into the sky, and the ship''s side is as steep as a mountain. ??The dark wooden hull was burning with strange blue fire, the huge sail was in tatters, and there were hazy visions and terrifying roars condensed on it. Just seeing this scene, Duke Nova couldn''t help but narrow his pupils, and a long-lost fear arose in his heart. Ghost ship[Diamond Star]! Ghost ship!? ?Brunos voice trembled: Is that legend true? In the last era, before the great flood came, some people spent huge sums of money to build the so-called Noahs Ark to avoid disasters. The Diamond Star was one of the arks. However, on its first voyage, it encountered a terrible shipwreck and never returned. Duke Nova slowly told the legend spread across the Seven Seas: "When people saw it again, it had turned into a ghost ship wandering in the mist." ?Bruno couldn''t help but ask: "So now, what should we do?" Duke Nova smiled and said: "Don''t worry, the [Diamond Star] is not such a cruel ship, as long as we don''t provoke it..." No! Your Excellency, the [Black Swan] is heading towards the [Diamond Star]! The voice from the boatswain interrupted her words. "What!?" Duke Nova''s expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head and looked down. ? I saw the small [Black Swan] suddenly burst out at a speed far greater than before, speeding towards the ghost ship glowing with blue flames. Duke Nova cursed: "That guy is really crazy!" ??The boatswain asked: "Your Majesty, do you still want to pursue me now?" Duke Nova''s expression was gloomy and uncertain. ?The ghost ship is not cruel in the legend, but it does not mean that it has no temper at all. Especially for a large and threatening ship like the Blood Duke, just approaching it is a strong provocation! As the distance between the Blood Duke and the Diamond Star shortened, Duke Nova clearly felt that the ghost ship began to react. The blue firelight on the hull flows like water. One artillery piece after another adjusted its direction without anyone controlling it. ?There was a low, terrifying roar faintly coming from the thick fog. This means that this is its final warning! After hesitating for a long time, Duke Nova still gritted his teeth and said: "Let''s withdraw!" Brunos expression changed slightly: What about [Black Swan]? It has been marked by the scarlet ship eagle. We will wait outside the fog. As long as it leaves the fog, I will notice it. At that time, it will be its death! I dont believe it, it can hide in this fog for a lifetime! Duke Nova said viciously: "Furthermore, if we provoke the [Diamond Star], it may die without us taking action." What the Duke said makes sense. But Bruno looked at the [Black Swan] gradually disappearing in the thick fog, and he still felt strong uneasiness in his heart. Not long. [Black Swan] came to the side of this ghost ship with blue fire. ?This ship was quite spectacular, which aroused the admiration of Sean and the crew. At the same time, there is also a depressing uneasiness. After all, no one knows whether this ghost ship will suddenly attack them. ??But this is what Xia En thought of as the only way to temporarily escape the pursuit of the [Blood Duke]. At this time, I felt that the big ship with the [Secret Mark] was gradually moving away. ?Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the crew members on the devastated deck and said softly: "We are safe, temporarily." But just the next moment. A voice sounded in Xia Ens mind. Human... (End of this chapter) Chapter 125 The restlessness of [Salary King’s Certificate]! Chapter 125 [Certificate of the Salary King] The restlessness! Human... ??This is a low and mature female voice, as if it has experienced the baptism of a long time, bringing with it an unspeakable vicissitude and exhaustion. Hearing this sound, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a jump in his heart, and looked up at the ghost ship not far away. Its the [Diamond Star]! ? ?This ship also has its own ship soul? Thinking about it, such an unmanned ship with obvious extraordinary qualities may have developed its own consciousness someday in the past. At this moment, Xia En suddenly remembered something. ?His talent [Communication with Ship Soul], but he never said that he could only communicate with [Black Swan]! Theoretically, as long as it is a ship with a soul, I can communicate with it! ??Xia En''s heart was pounding and he responded cautiously. Senior? Why...close to... There was not much hostility in the voice of [Diamond Star], it just seemed a bit slow and cold. Hearing this, Xia En relaxed a lot and continued. We are being hunted by the enemy, so we want to use the power of our predecessors to temporarily avoid disaster. Can you please let us stay with our seniors for a while? We will leave later. ?Shaan did not hide anything about this ghost ship that was far more powerful than himself, but chose to be honest with him. Randomly... After leaving these words, the [Diamond Star] regained consciousness and continued to move steadily and slowly in the fog. Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Thank you, senior!" ?He felt a little emotional in his heart. Although this ghost ship had a cold personality, it did not harvest the souls of the living indiscriminately like some legends said. Master, this sister looks so amazing! At this time, Xiao Hei''s voice sounded in my heart. Xia Ens mouth twitched. How could you tell she was a sister? ?But then again, the ship soul is actually genderless, but many captains and sailors like to think of the ship as their wife or mother. Cognition itself has mystery and power. Hence, the ship spirit usually appears in the form of a woman. [Black Swan] calls [Diamond Star] sister, there is actually no problem. Master, can I say a few words to her? huh? Xia En was a little surprised by Xiao Hei''s idea and asked, "Why?" I don''t know either ?Xiao Heis voice was a little confused: [I just feel... I seem to have seen this sister somewhere? Xia En''s heart moved, and he quickly thought of some remaining memories of the original owner. Before the original owner got on the ship, the original owner''s father seemed to have experienced a terrible shipwreck. That trip to sea cost him the loss of five crew members, and the Black Swan was also seriously damaged. But when asked about the cause of the shipwreck, the original owner''s father remained silent and only mentioned the heavy fog. Could it be said that before the soul of the ship "Black Swan" was born, it had a relationship with the "Diamond Star"? ?However, there is not much point in dwelling on these past events. After thinking for a moment, Xia En agreed to Xiao Hei''s request. ??They are both ship spirits, maybe they have something in common? On the other hand, it never hurts to have a good relationship with this ghost ship. Woo Soon, the [Black Swan] blew its whistle, and the sails of the [Diamond Star] roared, and the sea wind and fog conveyed their secret words. ??Taking this time, Shane began to examine the status of the [Black Swan] and the crew. Durability: 34/100 The durability dropped below 40, which is enough to show that [Black Swan] is actually on the verge of falling apart. ??The craters on the deck are slowly healing themselves, and the sails with several holes in them no longer look like they used to. Steam turbines that have used the [Overload] feature have also fallen into temporary hibernation. ?The crew members were also a little disheartened. ??Feiya is treating Joey and An''s injuries. ?Since Xia En traveled through time, this was the first time he encountered such a dangerous crisis. But no matter what, they survived! ?What doesnt kill them is destined to make them stronger. Duke Nova ?Xia En took a deep breath, and suppressed, lava-like anger surged in his heart. Todays revenge will be repaid twice as much next time we meet! ??Although we are trapped in a thick white fog and the road ahead is bleak, the morale of the crew is not low. Bronze Dragon String Song hummed twice: "I thought that ship was so powerful!" In the end, theres still nothing we can do! Then who was so frightened that he hid in the cabin and didnt dare to come out? ??Joy glanced at it angrily: "If it hadn''t been for Mr. Captain this time, we might all have died at sea." Xian Ge opened his eyes wide and said harshly: "Don''t, don''t talk nonsense, what I call tactical concealment!" Everyone laughed immediately, and the deck was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. At this time, An raised the cardboard and wrote. Speaking of which, Captain, where should we go next? After reading this line of text clearly, Xia En touched his chin. He can feel that the [Black Swan] is still under the influence of the [Blood Sacrifice Curse], and even if the power of the curse fades, there will still be some mark-like substances remaining. Obviously, the [Blood Duke]s pursuit of this ship is not over yet. ?This strange fog can hinder perception and secret power to a certain extent, and it can be called a natural barrier. On the other hand, once you leave the fog, you will be noticed by Duke Nova, triggering a new round of pursuit. ?So, what Shane has to do is very simple Before leaving the fog, improve the strength of yourself and the Black Swan to a point where they can compete with the [Blood Duke]! Sounds a little difficult. But with the existence of [Submarine Anchor], even in the foggy sea, Xia En can still continue to spawn monsters and upgrade. ??And dont forget, there are hidden treasures hidden in this fog! The legendary [Siren Islands] are also hidden here. Since you are here, how can you not go and find out? ?But before that, the [Black Swan] needs to rest and replenish the supplies on board. After leaving Silver Moon Island, Xia En and his party had no chance to supply supplies. Although the existence of the space ring has greatly increased the reserves of fresh water and food, the increase in crew members has also accelerated their consumption. While Xia En was thinking. ?Xiao Hei''s voice suddenly sounded again. Master, my sister and I have finished talking. She said she is willing to take us to the nearest island. Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up. ??Is there such an unexpected surprise? It was difficult to discern the direction in the fog, so Xia En could only rely on [Siren Scale] to determine the course. But now that the Diamond Star is willing to lead the way, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time. Xiao Hei, well done! hey-hey Actually, this sister doesn''t seem to be that difficult to communicate with, she''s just a little...scared of life? ? Xia En raised his head and looked at the majestic ghost ship beside him. The blue flames exuded a terrifying and dangerous atmosphere, as if it could burn everything. He couldn''t associate the word "fear of strangers" with the other person. Not long. ?Under the leadership of the [Diamond Star], the [Black Swan] dragged its dilapidated body forward slowly. Gradually, the outline of an isolated island appeared in the hazy fog. When they were brought not far from the isolated island, a long horn sounded from the [Diamond Star], as if bidding farewell to the [Black Swan]. Subsequently, its course deflected and headed in the other direction of the fog. ?Shaan stood on the bow of the boat and waved goodbye to it. Thank you! Senior! I dont know if it was Xia Ens misunderstanding. After he shouted loudly, the [Diamond Star] left a little faster. It felt like... running away? ?Shane is in a weird mood. This is... shy? Is it true that what Xiao Hei said about "being afraid of life"? ?However, looking at the ghost ship gradually being swallowed up by the fog, Xia En actually had a bold idea in his mind. In previous sailing games, players could bind a second or even a third ship after their level reached a certain level. ??If one day, he can get the recognition of this ghost ship and be bound to it. ?At that time, how high will your attributes soar? In human terms, this is the body of Xia Enchan [Diamond Star]! ?However, this goal is obviously still far away. It will never be achieved in the short term. [Diamond Star], I look forward to meeting you next time. After muttering to himself, Xia En dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind and looked back at the isolated island in the sea not far away. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked down. I saw the dark red mark on the back of my right hand emerging, and it continued to emit a burning sensation. ?Xia En was shaken, and a flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes. This is The agitation of [Salary Kings Certificate]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 126 The second ember treasure, Cyclops! Chapter 126 The second ember treasure, Cyclops! Certificate of Salary King ??This is a state obtained by Shane when entering the gate of [Ember Sanctuary]. ?One of the most critical effects is that the person holding this brand will be able to sense the [Ember Treasure]! But after leaving [Coral City]. Xia En has never heard about the [Ember Treasure] again, and the brand seems to have fallen into a deep sleep and has no response. In fact, this is normal. The Seven Seas are so big that many people will never encounter an [Ember Treasure] in their entire lives. At this time, the increasingly restless [Salary King''s Certificate] shows that the distance between Xia En and the treasure is constantly shortening! The treasure of embers is on that isolated island? Xia Ens eyes lit up, and he felt that this was also a blessing brought by the sea. He has now discovered that this talent is like a double-edged sword. ??Whether it was the previous Double Dragon Storm or the surging [Blood Duke], it was an accident. However, in the crisis, there were precious opportunities hidden. ?The storm caused the bronze dragon to break out of its shell and come to the world, and the "Blood Duke" allowed him to break into the sea where the fog is. Its a blessing in disguise, how do you know its not a blessing? ?Xia En sighed softly in his heart and slowly drove the [Black Swan] closer to the island. After getting closer, it is not difficult to see that the island is not large. ??The vegetation on the island is lush and green, looming in the white mist, with an indescribable and mysterious atmosphere. Soon, the [Black Swan] docked at the shore. ??Xia En asked Fei Ya and Joey to stay on the ship while he took An Hexinge to explore the island. On land, An can exert 100% of his combat power. Coupled with the effect of [Knight''s Protection], it can bring a lot of help to Xia En. As for the string song? ??Although this bronze dragon is not very courageous, it does have profound knowledge and may be able to play the role of a narrator. ?Walking onto the beach on the coast, Sean quickly discovered something unusual about this island. The towering coconut trees and the blue-black crabs crawling on the beach are all unusually large, at least four or five times the size of similar species on other islands. ?Walking among them, one feels like a small person who has strayed into the land of giants. This island is indeed not simple. Xia En was extremely vigilant. ?The experience of exploring the [Ember Treasure] last time is enough to show that treasures are actually accompanied by huge dangers. ??And this time, he is not exploring as a projection, so he must be extra careful. This breath Xiange twitched her nose, a look of reminiscence on her face. ?Shaan asked: "What did you remember?" Somewhat familiar, but I cant remember it yet. However, as a great bronze dragon, this little problem is not at all..." ?Xiange, who was in the middle of nowhere, noticed Xia En''s gaze, and her voice lowered little by little. Xia En said coldly: "You have no more dried fish tonight!" by " One more thing, tomorrows dried fish is gone. Woo Xiange let out a pitiful whimper, but still kept her mouth shut. After this small episode, Xia En and his party continued to move toward the depths of the island in silence. ??The height of the surrounding trees is even higher than the surrounding area. Even the shrubs on the ground are taller than a person, which greatly blocks the view. The tree crowns cast shadows from high places, blocking the already weak light, giving people a cold and ominous feeling. Fortunately, Xia En had the [Blood Sense] brought by [Blood Power] and could detect nearby living creatures in advance, so he did not encounter any obstacles. ?However, I looked at a fat rabbit that was bigger than a dog running through the bushes not far away. ?Shaan had to admit that he was a little greedy. No matter how delicious the seafood is, you will get tired of it! After you finish exploring the [Ember Treasure], you can stay on this island for a few more days and stock up on some meat. ?Xia En was thinking while sensing the direction guided by the [Salary King''s Certificate]. ?After setting foot in this forest, the heat of [Salmon King''s Certificate] became more and more obvious, and the location of [Ember Treasure] could even be vaguely perceived. About ten minutes later. ?Xia En felt that he was very close to the [Ember Treasure]. By this time, he had reached the end of the bush. ?Xia En let out a breath and then stepped out. ?The scene in front of me suddenly became clear. What you can see in front of you is an extremely wide basin. There is no vegetation in the basin. What is there is only red and black soil, and pale bones several meters long stuck in the ground! Xia En couldn''t help but feel his breath hitch. ?Those white bones are strikingly similar to human skeletons! Its just that the volume is countless times larger! What kind of giant is it that can have such a thick and tall skeleton? And at the next moment. Xia En saw the answer. Roar! ! With an earth-shattering roar, a giant rushed out of the white mist! ?He was at least over twenty meters tall and was naked from the waist up, only wearing a rough linen cloth around his waist. The muscles all over his body are carved like knives and axes, full of the beauty of brutality and violence. But there was only one particularly huge one eye on his face! At this time, there was strong anger and hatred in that eye, and he was obviously in a state of irritation. ??The Cyclops holds a huge ax and charges like a chariot. ?Each step caused the ground to shake. ?Xia Ens eyelids twitched suddenly. Did he offend this giant in some way? Otherwise, why would they launch such a horrific attack as soon as they came up? What made Xia En even more numb was that there were more than one giant rushing out of the fog! ?Two giants followed the giant axe, and rushed out of the fog together, attacking with incomparable bravery. Captain! Cyclops! Its Cyclops! Xian Ge seemed to suddenly remember something and exclaimed: "The creatures on this island are so huge just because of their existence!" Captain, run away But at this moment, Xia En did not turn around and run away. Instead, he raised his head and faced the three terrifying giants. ?Seeing this, An silently walked up to Xia En and made a defensive move. You two! ?Xiange was extremely puzzled. How could the always rational captain suddenly make such a reckless decision? But it did not choose to escape, but planned to use dragon language magic to slightly hinder the momentum of the giants. At this time. A quiet and solemn voice echoed in the ears of two people and one dragon. Cyclops, I have given you one last chance. "Since you are stubborn, then die under my judgment!" Xia En looked away. ??In the mist of the basin, a man whose face he could not see appeared at some point, with a weak iron sword on his waist. ?Standing in front of a Cyclops that is more than twenty meters tall, a man less than two meters tall looks extremely small, but his momentum is extremely amazing, as if... he is the giant! In Xia En''s eyes, the man held the sword in his hand. The next moment. Just as the giants'' axes were about to fall, the man drew his sword. Tap your steps, twist your waist, and draw your sword! Everything is almost instantaneous. In an instant, the condensed and bright sword light burst out and landed on the neck of the three-headed giant with an uncaptured trajectory! ?The truly terrifying thing is not the sword skill or the swordsmanship, but something purer contained in this sword. simultaneously! Blood fell like rain, and the three heads fell to the ground almost at the same time. ?Xia En was in a daze, intoxicated and amazed by the grace of this sword. But when he looked in the basin again, neither the corpses of the three Cyclops nor the unknown swordsman were anywhere to be seen, as if they had never appeared in the first place. What is left is only red-black soil and white bones standing one after another. Its really an illusion... ?Xia En exhaled, not surprised. When the Cyclops charged, he did panic a little. But with the help of [blood perception], he immediately judged that these giants were not real living creatures, but an existence similar to the phantoms of the past. Its just that the phantom is so realistic that people cant tell the difference between the real thing and the fake one. ?Suddenly, several lines of information appeared on the panel. You witnessed a fight that happened in the past! You have gained some understanding of the artistic conception of "judgment" from it. If you continue to observe and practice, you should be able to learn this special sword skill, right? [Judgment]? Is that sword strike just now called a verdict? ?Xia En chewed the name secretly and felt that it was extremely appropriate. But who is the person who used this sword? ??Whether it is the power of this sword skill or the fact that it can leave a phantom, it is enough to show the terrifying strength of this person. ?Xia En thought for a moment, then stopped and continued deeper into the basin with An Xiange. ?One after another, they saw some phantoms hidden in the mist. Most of them are scenes of unknown men killing Cyclops. Combined with the countless giant skeletons in this basin... Xia En was secretly shocked: "Could it be that...he killed all the Cyclops on the island?" No wonder the giants hated him so much. "But the reason behind it...is it related to [Ember Treasure]?" After passing through this basin, a huge, smooth rock wall appeared in front of Xia En. As if being cut open by a sword. Under the rock wall, a thirty-meter giant skeleton was lying there peacefully. ?The moment he saw the rock wall, Xia En''s mind roared, and a somewhat chaotic scene appeared in front of his eyes... (End of this chapter) Chapter 127 The Way of Judgment, a gift from the Chi Chapter 127: The Way of Judgment, a Gift from the Chief of the Federation! ?In front of Xia En, the white mist continued to break, twist, and reorganize, gradually forming a scene that existed in history. Before the cliff. ?The man whose face he couldn''t see clearly walked up to the giant as tall as a mountain and asked with suppressed anger. King of the Cyclops, I regarded you as a respectable elder... But why did you betray my trust and attack my crew? ??The Cyclops King cast an icy gaze. Ven Moriarty, dont you understand? We are not equal creatures, and the peaceful coexistence you talk about is just a naive fantasy! After opening the door to the treasure, the key naturally loses its use. Now, I give you the last choice... Surrender, or die! ?His voice fell, and his voice rumbled like thunder. ?That substantial pressure seemed to span countless years. Even if Xia En was just a bystander, he couldn''t help but feel shaken and his body trembled slightly. In response to this, the man named "Wayne Moriarty" let out a sigh. "Although you are a king, you do not have the bearing of a king. Your stupidity will also kill your subjects." Then I will judge your sins. With that said, Wayne pulled out the long sword from his waist and walked unswervingly towards the giant king who was ten times his size. This is the time for judgment! C For a moment, everything in the fog seemed to stand still. ?The airflow, dust, even the body of the Cyclops, the blood flowing in the veins... seem to have become an extension of a certain will, executing the orders he issued. This sword is called [Judgment]! In an instant, a brilliant sword light slashed down from top to bottom. ??The originally rough and uneven cliff seemed to be smoothed away by the light of the sword without any hindrance, leaving only a smooth and mirror-like cross section. At the same time, a clear blood line appeared between the eyebrows of the Cyclops King. Immediately, his huge body suddenly split into two. With a loud bang, flesh and bones collapsed like a building. ??The red blood almost turned into a lake, constantly seeping into the soil and turning into nutrients for the entire island. Xia En stared at this scene blankly, but he vaguely caught something. The essence of this sword skill is perhaps a [ritual]? Only higher-level beings can "judge" and "adjudicate" lower-level beings. O is actually out of the way by regarding oneself as some great will that transcends the material world, and then borrowing the power hidden in this world, to burst out with astonishing power. The moment he realized this, a mysterious enlightenment arose in his heart. Acquired Skill: Sword of Judgment! Quality: Epic Type: Skill Current proficiency level: Beginner Description: This is a unique sword skill you learned from Wayne Moriarty''s battle. It contains the artistic conception of "the way of judgment". If you continue to advance on this path, you can master the power of part of the "field" in advance. In an era when secret professions have not yet been clearly divided, extraordinary people groped along different paths. The "Way of Judgment" is exactly one of these avenues. At this moment, it is time for judgment! Not long after, Xia En came back to his senses. Only the decayed giant corpse and the smooth rock wall were left in the mist. Epic skills, the way of judgment ?Xia Ens eyes flashed with excitement. He didnt expect that just in the process of going deep into the isolated island, he would have such unexpected joy. ??If you really want to say it, this should be the first epic skill that Shane has obtained. As for the saying "The Way of Judgment", he has also heard about it. This is actually an older way of dividing power, and among some people, it is also called the Way. Each secret career is actually a detailed branch of different paths. ?However, what Xia En cares more about is the description of mastering the power of [Field] in advance. Even third-level mystics such as Carles and Quinn have not yet come into contact with the real power of the domain, which is enough to show how powerful this power is. The future is promising! Shaans lips curled up into a smile, and he quickly thought of another question. Ven Moriarty, this name...how do you feel like youve heard it somewhere before? Hearing this, An suddenly thought of something and took out a cardboard book to write. Wayne Moriarty...is that federal chief Wayne? Federal Chief? Xia En was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered the legend about this character. It is said that this person is one of the founders of the Federation and the strongest person in the Federation! At the beginning, when the Federation conquered various islands, it actually encountered great resistance. After all, the governor of each island is equivalent to the emperor of the island and has supreme power. Why should he obey the management of the federation? ?Just when it became difficult for the federation to continue its advancement, the federation chief took action. He led the federal navy to capture more than ten large islands in just six months, and defeated the super-large pirate fleet that was ravaging the sea at that time. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With the strength of this chief, he could have become the ruler of the Federation and held the authority of the Seven Seas. However, when Wayne''s reputation and strength reached their peak, he chose to retire and rarely appeared in front of others. ?His most recent appearance dates back to a large federal ceremony five years ago. Some people say that as Wayne grew older, his strength was not as good as before, and he suffered from injuries, so he had no choice but to retire. Some people also say that he is trying to climb the last step of the "Long Step to the Gods"! But no matter what. The title "Federal Chief" has become an exclusive nickname for Wayne Moriarty. Its actually him... ?Xia En was secretly surprised. ?However, the words and deeds of the man in the mist were also in line with his imagination of a strong man like the "Federal Chief". ??If you were the chief of the federation, would it not be impossible to kill the Cyclops on the entire island? only It seems that the [Ember Treasure] on this island has been discovered by the Federation Chief. ?Xia En sighed, feeling a little regretful. ?From the conversation in the afterimage of the past, it is not difficult to guess that both the Cyclops and the Federation Chief know about the existence of the [Ember Treasure]. ?Furthermore, the Cyclops seemed to want to use these outsiders to open the door to the treasure, and attempted to kill the donkey, which is why this killing incident occurred. ?Shane guessed: "Maybe... Wayne Moriarty is also the holder of the [Salary King''s Certificate]?" ?In the early days of the Federations expansion, it was precisely because of the [Ember Treasure] that we were able to master technology beyond the times and crush ordinary islands. If the chief of the federation holds the [Salary King''s Certificate], all this will have a reasonable explanation. Its a pity, its a pity, weve come this far, theres no reason to turn around and leave. Shaan looked up and looked ahead. He saw an ancient dark door where huge skeletons stood, quietly waiting for his arrival. Soon, Xia En led one man and one dragon into the door. A dark red light ignited along with the ember-like lines on the door. The unfamiliar yet familiar burning sensation briefly appeared, and when they opened their eyes again, they came to the interior of the [Ember Shelter]. The scene here is not far from the style of the previous shelter. The mysterious pale floor and ceiling exude a cool halo, with a strange sense of technology. The painting style is completely different from that of most existing islands. But after looking around, Xia En''s mood sank to the bottom. There is no other reason. Compared with the shelter in [Coral City], this place is really too spacious! ?Each room is empty, with only some discarded sundries and containers, proving that this place once contained some good treasures from ancient times. Having psychological expectations in advance, Xia En was not too disappointed and planned to check all the rooms and leave. At this time. ?Xiange suddenly became excited, with a pair of big eyes full of energy, and he said while leading the way. Captain, this way, this way! I have a very good nose, there must be something good here! Xia Ens mouth twitched, and he complained in his mind: When did you still have the characteristics of treasure hunting? Or is this the instinct of dragons? ?Even so, he still followed him with hesitation. Not long after, they reached the deepest part of the corridor. ?The door to the room on the left is closed, but the door on the right is open. ?Xia En looked intently, and his eyes suddenly lit up. ?There are several things that exude extraordinary auras placed in this room, and there is an envelope on the table. Without much hesitation, Xia En walked to the table, opened the envelope and checked it. The handwriting of this letter appears vigorous and powerful, it reads. To the latecomers who explore the treasure of embers. I regret to tell you that I have already taken advantage of this treasure. It took the crew and I three days and three nights to empty this place! But treasure is a first-come, first-served thing. I guess you won''t blame me for this, right? However, being able to find this isolated island in the mist after me is considered a destiny. So, after much thought, I left you a little gift, I hope you like it. Wayne Moriarty. (End of this chapter) Chapter 128 Golden legend! Weird crystal coffin! Chapter 128 Golden Legend! Weird crystal coffin! After reading the content of this letter, Xia En''s eyes naturally fell on something aside. ??Ween left many "gifts". There are three pieces in total. ?Shaan first looked at one of the largest strange devices. ?Its main body is a cylindrical metal barrel with an inlet and an outlet. It is shaped like some kind of container for wine. On those metals, there are many complex man-made structures, with fine tubes and crystal beams distributed on its surface. ?The style of painting is quite weird. Sea water purifier ?Quality: Rare Type: Props Description: An instrument that can convert seawater into fresh water, and is also one of the legacies of Ember Shelter. "nice one!" ??Although the description of this prop was only one sentence, Xia En''s eyes flashed with surprise. In life at sea, the importance of fresh water is self-evident. With this instrument, it can obviously greatly enhance the endurance of the [Black Swan]. Under the purifier, there are notes written by Wayne. The technology of previous civilizations is really amazing. Even this kind of water purification device that does not require additional energy consumption can be developed. I took one and brought it back to the federal government for research. Leave this, I hope it can be helpful to you. ??Then, Xia En looked at a thick book next to the water purifier. ?This book looks very old, the cover is slightly blackened, and there is a strange and mysterious writing on it. ??Vine still wrote down the notes thoughtfully. A book of unknown use. I asked the archaeologist on the ship who was proficient in ancient writing, but even he didnt know what language it was. "Um?" Xia En was a little curious and reached out to touch the ancient book. Lyla''s Magic Notes Quality: Legend Type: Props Description: Elf Leila spends her whole life collecting all kinds of weird magic. There are flashy performance magics, and there are also forbidden magics that are said to be able to travel through time and space. No one knows her purpose for doing this. Perhaps it was pure interest, or perhaps a certain brief encounter in her long life changed her? Legend? Golden legend! ? ?Xia Ens eyes suddenly widened. Except for the two talents [Captains Majesty] and [Deep Sea Diving], this was the first time he saw the existence of legendary quality. Wait, elf Xia En suddenly came to his senses: "Is this book written in Elvish language?" ?No wonder archaeologists cant identify this ancient writing. At this time, Bronze Dragon String Song also seemed to have discovered a blind spot and exclaimed: "Isn''t this Elvish language?" Iron Elf, its time for you to make a contribution! Hearing this, Xia En also looked at An silently, with expectant eyes. An took the ancient elf book silently. But after a moment, he shook his head and wrote. Sorry, Captain, I can''t understand. Even through the armor, Xia En seemed to be able to sense his confusion and depression. "This is?" ?Xia En was a little confused. He knew that An would never lie to him. Could it be that Elvish is not a language that elves are born with? Or say At this time, Xia En suddenly thought of the "Aphasia Curse" in the elven bloodline, and suddenly he was horrified. Could it be that aphasia refers not only to the sound, but also to the death of the entire language? Archaeologists dont know the existence of Elvish, not because this language is too niche, but because the traces of its existence have been erased? Xia En''s thoughts were ups and downs, and he felt a slight chill in his heart. ?If this guess is true, then this curse may be much more terrifying than he previously expected! Xia En let out a breath and comforted An: "It''s okay if you don''t recognize him." No matter what, you are my most reliable knight. An nodded, seeming to have regained her usual composure. ?Just when Xia En felt a little regretful that he could not analyze this magic notebook and was about to see the last gift, Xian Ge hesitated and spoke. "Captain, I... seem to be able to understand this Elvish language..." Xia En raised his eyebrows. Although Xian Ge was unreliable most of the time, at the critical moment...it seemed to be reliable? So he asked: "What is written on this cover?" "It seems to be a personal name. If translated in common language, it should be... Laila?" Xian Ge''s face showed a thoughtful look: "Laila, the name is somewhat familiar..." Is it someone Ive seen before? Hearing this, Xia En immediately knew that what Xian Ge said was unnecessary, and opened the first page of the note to let him read it. Hmm? The magic that turns the land into a field of flowers? Why are you studying this kind of magic when you have nothing to do? Uh...I dont recognize these words, but when I grow up, I will definitely be able to remember them! Soon, Xia En judged Xian Ges Elvish level. There is no problem in recognizing simple words, but it is difficult to recognize long and difficult sentences. ?Shaan guessed that this was because it was not yet an adult and some of its past memories had not yet fully awakened. ?Given time, it may not be impossible for Xian Ge to translate the entire contents of the magic notebook. At that time, spell caster units such as Joey and Xian Ge will obviously receive a huge improvement. ?While reading while playing Xiange, Shane looked at the last "gift" left by Wayne. ??This is a dark gold bracelet with restrained color and blood lines. Several lines of information appear. Giant Wristwheel Quality: Epic Type: Relic Description: An ancient relic made from the sacred stone of the Cyclops clan. Since he witnessed the extinction of the Cyclops on this island, it was stained with the blood of the King of Giants and has a more unique effect. Requires 40 points of constitution to wear. After wearing it, it can temporarily activate the state - "Giant Transformation"! The effect is: growth in size, strength, physique, resistance, and toughness greatly increased! Sanity and speed decreased slightly! Note: Being in the "giant" state for a long time will cause your sanity to fall rapidly! After using "Giant Transformation", the body will fall into "severe strain" and "difficulty walking" and other conditions! Pay the price and gain strength! After reading this long list of introductions, Xia En had a strange expression. Is this relic strong? Very strong! ??Xia En, just imagining the feeling of transforming into a giant and killing everyone makes people''s hearts beat! The adjective "extremely large" appeared for the first time, which is enough to illustrate its powerful effect. ??But the side effects are also exaggerated. The idea of ??"sanity falling" is a bit like a berserker exchanging intelligence for strength. If it lasts for too long, it may drain your intelligence. When the intelligence is reduced to a certain level, you can''t even use skills, let alone fight calmly. And the negative states afterwards such as "severe strain injury" and "difficulty walking" are not good things at first sight. Pay the price and gain the power...this is really true. "but" Xia En has always been a lively thinker, and he quickly thought of another way to use the [Giant Wristwheel]. The body of projection! If you use [Giant Wristwheel] while submersing, will it have any side effects on the body? ?Shaan decided to try it out after the number of submersibles was refreshed. ?At this time, he also saw Waynes message about the wrist wheel. ??The Cyclops was originally the guardian of this "ember treasure". But in the long years, they broke the promise they made to the "King of Salary" and chose the most wrong path. What a pity... ??The federal chief seemed a little sad when he wrote these words. Since then, Xia En has accepted the three gifts in the room. In terms of value, these three gifts are extremely precious. Especially [Laila''s Magic Notes] and [Giant Wristwheel], they are secret treasures that cannot be bought with money! In comparison, the [Seawater Purifier] is the most common one among them. ??Xia En was also a little more grateful to the federal chief whom he had never met before. Then, he checked the surroundings again, and suddenly found that there were still a few lines of text on the back of the previous envelope. By the way, I almost forgot to say that. The room opposite is a little weird. Instinct told me that there was something there that I couldn''t mess with, so I didn''t open the door to explore. Come late, I suggest you take the gift and leave. Xia En always listens to advice, and he has no curiosity to kill cats. After reading these words, he planned to return to the ship with one person and one dragon. But at this moment. A mute sound of the door opening came from outside the room. Suddenly, Xia Ens scalp felt numb. Because he saw that the door to the room opposite slowly opened on its own, exposing the space inside. Inside, it is surprisingly... A coffin made of crystal! (End of this chapter) Chapter 129 Strengthen components! Go and come back again! Chapter 129 Strengthening components! Go and come back again! (The end of the previous chapter has been modified.) An empty and silent sanctuary. Doors that open by themselves. The crystal coffin lying peacefully in the room. ??These elements are superimposed together, and it seems that he can make a cameo on the set of a horror film. Shane can''t help but stand on end and break into a cold sweat. ?However, after all, he had experienced many battles and made the most correct choice the first time. "Walk!" ?Xia En grabbed Xian Ge beside him and rushed towards the exit of the shelter with An. ?When he ran to the corridor, he did not forget to pull the door handle hard and close the door again. ??If it weren''t for the fear of something changing later, he would even want to nail a circle of wooden boards on the door! Not long. ?Two people and one dragon rushed out of the gate of [Ember Sanctuary]. During this period, they did not encounter any obstruction and no special circumstances occurred. ??But Xia En was still worried and immediately rushed to the coast without stopping. Strangely, the return journey was also extremely smooth. Nothing strange happened. But the more this happened, the ominous premonition in Xia En''s heart became stronger. He didnt think that the crystal coffin suddenly opened the door just to say hello to him. ?Xiange and An were also affected by Xia En''s emotions and kept their heads down while driving, not daring to say a word. Until I ran back to the beach of the island, I saw the [Black Swan] within my field of vision. Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Am I really worrying too much?" Then the crystal coffin is actually not that dangerous? Mr. Captain As soon as Xia En came up with this idea, he saw Joey on the deck waving to him and shouting: "There is a strange thing on the ship!" Hiss! ?Xia En took a breath of cold air, rushed to the boat, and took a closer look. ?That crystal coffin suddenly appeared on the deck of the [Black Swan]! Different from the quick glance just now, Shane could now clearly observe its entirety. ?This coffin seems to be carved from a whole piece of unknown crystal. The translucent crystal reflects a dark and chaotic halo. ?Looking closely, you can also see the strange lines around the box, which look like some kind of hieroglyphics or symbols with extraordinary qualities. Through the translucent crystal, Xia En could barely see lying inside... A fleshless, clothed skeleton? To be honest, Xia En was relieved when he saw the crystal coffin appearing on the deck. Compared with the fear of not knowing when the danger will come, at least this crystal coffin finally showed its unusual side. After calming down, Shane asked Joey. When did this coffin appear? After thinking for a while, Joey replied: "It should have been five minutes ago. At that time, I was about to wash the deck. I just took the tool and turned around and saw it appearing on the deck." Five minutes ?Xia Ens thoughts were wandering. At that time, they should have reached the forest area close to the beach. The question is, how does the crystal coffin track itself and lock the Black Swan on the shore? ??This sudden ability, is it space teleportation, or... ?However, the more critical issue right now is What should I do with this coffin? Because of Wayne Moriarty''s message, Shane was naturally very wary of the crystal coffin. ?Although there are many evil things on his ship, whether it is Xiao Zhan, A Pao or Keel, they are all existences that absolutely obey the captain''s orders. And this crystal coffin obviously won''t be so obedient. No wise captain would leave a dangerous entity on board the ship with unknown purpose. You know, even the federal chief is unwilling to mess with this crystal coffin! ?After thinking for a moment, Xia En walked to the crystal coffin and said in a serious tone. If you have your own consciousness, tell me why youre here! ?However, neither the crystal coffin nor the skeleton in the crystal responded, lying quietly on the spot. "very good." Xia En said coldly: "Fei Ya!" "exist!" Wash it with holy steam! Fei Ya didnt think much and responded decisively: Yes! For the existence of evil sects, of course, we must use sanctity to deal with them. This is also the role of priests. ?However, after Fei Ya used steam to purify it, the crystal coffin still showed no response. Xia En was not surprised. He took out the iron chains on the ship and tied the crystal coffin tightly several times to ensure that the lid of the coffin would not open. He also hung several heavy objects on it. Then, drive the [Black Swan] to the sea some distance away from the island. ! ?Xia En kicked the crystal coffin off the deck. The coffin fell straight into the sea, causing a splash of water, and then slowly sank into the deeper water. ?Until the shadow of the crystal coffin was no longer visible, Xia En relaxed a little, returned to the ship, and docked on the shore of the isolated island. ?Joy asked curiously: "Mr. Captain, is that coffin really so dangerous?" I think its not as scary as the cannon on the ship, its quite honest. Xia En said seriously: "You can never make a big mistake by being careful. You can''t wait until it shows a dangerous side before regretting it." Then, he ordered the crew: "Before the [Black Swan] recovers, we have to rest on this island for a period of time." Fei Ya, see if you can use the [Youjin] you got earlier to repair the hull of the ship. An, you and Joey are responsible for hunting on the island, collecting food and wood, and doing what you can. If you encounter an invincible beast, call for help as soon as possible. Xian Ge, continue to decipher the magic notebook and record the spells. ?All the crew members responded: "Yes, Captain!" There is no idle person on board the Black Swan. Everyone has their own things to do. Xia En smiled: "However, everyone should be tired today. Let''s go to bed early after eating." ?The experience of this day was nothing short of exciting and thrilling. ?First the pursuit and escape battle with the "Blood Duke", and then the exploration of the mysterious island, even with Xia En''s nerves being tenacious, it was inevitable that he would feel a little tired. But before resting, he had one last thing to do. Soon, Xia En came to the turbine room deep in the cabin. Not far away, the steam turbine was sitting there quietly, without making a grunting sound to welcome him as usual. Due to the side effects of [Overload], it fell into a dormant state. Xiao Zhan, Ive really worked **** you today. ?Shaan touched the shell of the steam turbine and said softly: "As a reward, I will make you stronger!" The next moment. The dark and mysterious [Crystal of Filth] was injected into the body of the steam turbine along his palm. A strange transformation began to happen slowly. Crystal of filth -50! Estimated strengthening time: 7 days! What Xia En has to do is very simple, which is to complete the strengthening of several components while the [Black Swan] is docked on the island. As the same saying goes, any resource is only meaningful if it is converted into combat power. Have been sailing at sea for a while, so there is no chance to strengthen. Now that we finally have a gap to reach the shore, we naturally need to strengthen it vigorously. Subsequently, Shane followed the same example and strengthened the keel and artillery. ?Heavy Whispering Defense Cannon (+) Filth Crystal -40! Estimated strengthening time: 7 days! Dark Secret Dragon Bone (+) Filthy Crystal-60 Estimated strengthening time: 10 days! Since [Storm Ray Sail] and [Sea Crystal Wooden Hull] were damaged in the previous naval battle, they cannot be enhanced for the time being. ?Xia En had no choice but to reserve 109 points of filthy crystals, ready to use them when he stopped at the next island. As the power of [Filth Crystal] enters these components. The obscure and profound light and shadow flow and linger on them, urging them to transform into a more mysterious and weird direction. ??Xia En''s eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation. ?This time he invested almost twice as much [Filth Crystal] as last time. Obviously it will bring him a lot of surprises. But suddenly, Joeys exclamation came from above the cabin. Mr. Captain, its not good! ?Xia En''s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked out of the cabin and looked up. I saw a crystal coffin lying there peacefully on the deck, just like before. (End of this chapter) Chapter 131 In the third stage, obtain [Mist of the Underworld]! Chapter 131: In the third stage, obtain [The Mist of the Underworld]! Xia En let out a long breath, as if there was a blazing high temperature in his chest. He could feel the violent secret power flowing through his huge body like magma. ?Different from the double superposition of the power of the ship soul, this power is more wild and rough, so much so that while strengthening the body, it is also constantly destroying the internal tissues of the body. The effect reflected on the projected body is... Ship Soul Power -1! Every ten seconds, such a prompt will appear. "Will becoming a giant speed up the loss of the ship''s soul power..." But this means that the side effects of becoming a giant only affect the projected body and will not affect my real body! Then, it means that you can use it once every time you dive! Xia En turned his head and looked at the three hounds in front of him, the fighting spirit in his heart rising. Now, who is the BOSS? not far away. As if being angered, the three hounds let out a roar that could penetrate the sea water, and rushed over. Boom ?Even the surrounding smoke was cleared and dispersed by the turbulent currents. He lowered his head and looked down. ?The sea water was torn apart, and the nearby water flow formed a cavity due to the violent impact. The terrifying turbulence expanded in all directions in an instant. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a smile on his face. But besides surprise, there was also a burst of ecstasy that filled my heart. ?Those three pairs of red and black eyes were full of red light, staring at Xia En with vigilance and hostility. Nearby, new silver-white [Polluters] emerged from the corners one after another. Therefore, Luticia''s sleep time has become extremely precious these days, and she feels like she never gets enough sleep. This power Punch out with one punch! ??This is an extremely simple and crude punch, but it is hearty and full of power, like a tsunami! At this time, this spacious and magnificent palace did not seem that spacious, and the various furnishings in the palace were as small as children''s toys. Confirming this, it means that his projection body has one more trump card at the bottom of the box. If you still cant beat me, turn into a giant When you encounter a powerful enemy while submersing in the future, you should activate the superposition of the power of the ships soul first and borrow Xiao Heis power. ! Boom! Boom! In the former Royal Academy. Due to the side effects of [Eternal Lingzhi], her physical age is getting younger and younger. In response to this, Xia En clenched his fists, his muscles tensed up, and then... ?Looking back, Xia En has not forgotten his current situation. ?Amidst the muffled sound, the figures of the giant dog and the giant suddenly collided together, like two mountains colliding! As we all know, children with long bodies are always particularly sleepy, and with the agitation of the [Polluters], the number of things she has to deal with has also increased a lot. ?Shaen was not afraid, stepped forward, and also launched a fierce charge. But now, in Xia En''s eyes, these [polluters] are like kittens and puppies, posing no threat. The surrounding [Polluters] suddenly screamed in fear and were drawn into the violent undercurrent caused by this punch. The large mouth formed by the smoke burst instantly. The next moment, dark red smoke suddenly spread from around it. Even Xia En, who was the instigator, couldn''t help but be secretly frightened. Whats this noise? ??The entire royal court trembled from the power of this punch, and some fragile corals shook off from the dome of the palace, like a silvery white rain. As an undersea explorer, its reasonable for me to have three stages, right? It took less than a second to meet each other''s eyes. The three hounds were also slightly surprised by the great changes that had taken place on their prey. ??The Queen of the Sea Clan, Luticia, was awakened by a continuous roar. On the contrary, after seeing this huge giant, they instinctively showed some fear. ?The smoke and dust possessed the characteristics of both "fog" and "fire", and quickly squirmed and turned into a **** mouth, which suddenly closed towards Xia En. The petite queen rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up from the big shell bed, with a rare unpleasant look on her face. But after noticing the vibrations in the ground and sea water around her, Luticia''s expression immediately changed slightly. Is it an earthquake? We need to inform people to evacuate quickly... ?At this moment, the maid from the Sea Clan hurriedly swam in from the door. Your Majesty the Queen, its not good! In the palace, in the palace... Something happened in the palace? Thinking of this possibility, Luticia''s heart skipped a beat, but she still asked calmly: "What happened? Speak slowly." The maid took a few breaths and then said: "Two huge monsters appeared in the palace! And they came all the way outside the palace!" Is there such a thing? Without hesitation, Luticia immediately left her resting residence and came to the top of the Royal Academy. Without her need to inform, several elders of the Sea Tribe are already standing ready here. ?On the way, Luticia also learned that the first person to discover this abnormal situation was an elder on patrol. In order to deal with the [Polluters] who may riot at any time, the Sea Tribe has also taken various measures, and the patrol team above the city is one of them. "In the end what happened?" Luticia looked towards the area where the royal palace was. ?There, dark red smoke spread, obstructing their sight. Even so, everyone can feel that a terrible battle is going on, and the scattered and chaotic aftermath is the best proof. ??The patrol elder who first discovered the abnormality replied: "The first shock came from the Silver Ash King''s Court." At that time, I vaguely saw a giant rushing out entangled with a huge hound. "They expanded the battlefield to the entire palace, and now they seem to be heading towards the area outside the palace." "...Giant?" Luticia looked confused. She has heard of some legends about giants, but how could a giant suddenly appear in this coral city? But when she heard the word "hound", Luticia couldn''t help but frown. The hound you are talking about is a guy with three heads, right? Yes, it does have three heads. ifier An older elder next to him suddenly changed his expression and asked in surprise: "Could it be the [Hound of Hell]!?" Why did it wake up? Luticia''s eyes also became serious as she recalled the legend about this terrible hound. Some people say that this hound is a demon from the abyss. ??The previous king of the Kingdom of Shoton imprisoned him deep in the palace in order to protect the royal court or made some kind of deal with the devil. Some people say that this hound is a life-and-death enemy to the Lord of billions of rays of light. ??In order to pursue the light of the Lord of Brilliance, I came to this royal capital. Some people say that it is not a real [Hound of the Underworld] at all, but just a hybrid species, a man-made fake. No matter what the truth is, this hound is extremely powerful. Terrible strength, speed, resilience, and weird dark red mist. ?That mist is more like a part of its body than a weapon, allowing it to travel and reshape itself in the mist, making it extremely difficult to be killed by conventional means. In the past, [Hound of Hell] has had the experience of waking up and leaving the palace several times. Each time, it caused a lot of casualties to the sea people in the city, and it even required the Queen and the elders to take action together to suppress them. And this time, why did it wake up? Could it be Mr. Divine Envoy? Inexplicably, this idea came to Luticia''s mind. But then I thought about it, with Mr. Divine Envoys strength, it seems that he is not a match for [Hound of Hell]? Just when the queen''s thoughts were fluctuating. The dark red smoke below suddenly changed. Boom! ! ?With a dull loud noise, the violent water flow swept through like a storm, and a large amount of dark red smoke was swept into it. Thus, the sea people gradually saw the scene in the field clearly. In the turbid sea water, a ten-meter-tall giant is standing on the earth at the bottom of the sea. ?The giant''s figure is majestic and dark. Indescribable shadows lingered around him, as if they could swallow even the light. ?In a daze, there were even tentacle-like things hiding in his body. When he looked carefully, they were nowhere to be seen. The vague whispers and murmurs echoed in the sea water. ?The entire deep sea seemed to be his assistance, giving it an unspeakable mystery. ?Seeing this scene, all the sea tribes couldn''t help but burst into an uproar. That figure is the envoy of God? But why did he become so huge, almost like a giant? Is this also a manifestation of the Lord of Radiances divine power? Luticia''s expression was also a little dull, and she murmured: "Mr. Angel, you are so big..." But soon, something even more shocking happened to them. I saw the giant grabbing one of the legs of the three-headed giant dog, and then smashing it to the ground left and right, back and forth. ! Boom! Boom! Under the heavy blows, the ground continued to shake, and large craters appeared one after another. The Hound of Hell was also dizzy from the impact, its three heads buzzed, and it was unable to struggle for a while. In the end, it was thrown aside like a rag doll. What a terrible power ?An elder looked shocked, but said with regret: "It''s a pity that you can''t kill [Hound of the Underworld] just by relying on strength." ?This creature has a strange undead characteristic, and ordinary vitals cannot make it fatal. As soon as he finished speaking, the body of [Hound of the Underworld] turned into dark red mist with a bang, and quickly fled away, as if it was already afraid of this powerful undersea giant. Seeing this, all the sea tribesmen sighed. If the [Hound of the Underworld] is so easy to kill, they will not tolerate this hidden danger existing inside the Coral City. However, the next moment. ??The dark giant picked up a thick stone pillar from the ruins nearby. "This is?" The sea tribesmen were puzzled. Is there anything special about this stone pillar? Only Luticia''s pupils shrank slightly and she muttered to herself. No, thats not a stone pillar. Thats...a sword! ?In her eyes, the rough stone pillars actually had a terrifying sharpness to them, and it was getting stronger and stronger quickly. It seems that there is nothing that cannot be cut off and nothing that cannot be judged! C Amidst the buzzing sound of the stone pillars, the dazzling sword light illuminated the dark seabed and cut through the sea water. Suddenly, he pierced into the thick dark red smoke. Roar ah ah ah! The figure of [Hound of the Underworld] appeared in the mist, and let out a shrill scream. The huge body was split into two. Kill the Hound of Hell! Obtain the trophy: The Mist of the Underworld! Ship Soul Experience +25%! (End of this chapter) Chapter 131 In the third stage, obtain [Mist of the Underworld]! Chapter 131: In the third stage, obtain [The Mist of the Underworld]! Xia En let out a long breath, as if there was a blazing high temperature in his chest. He could feel the violent secret power flowing through his huge body like magma. ?Different from the double superposition of the power of the ship soul, this power is more wild and rough, so much so that while strengthening the body, it is also constantly destroying the internal tissues of the body. The effect reflected on the projected body is... Ship Soul Power -1! Every ten seconds, such a prompt will appear. "Will becoming a giant speed up the loss of the ship''s soul power..." But this means that the side effects of becoming a giant only affect the projected body and will not affect my real body! Then, it means that you can use it once every time you dive! ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a smile on his face. Confirming this, it means that his projection body has one more trump card at the bottom of the box.

Chapter 132: The Queen of the Sea Race is happy, is a ghost causing trouble? The Mist of the Underworld Quality: Epic ?Type: Props/Materials Description: The body and core of the Hellen Hound contain the secret power from the abyss. Can be used as a one-time prop. After use, the fog of Hell will be generated within a hundred meters of the user. In the Mist of the Underworld, the perception of creatures other than the demonic species is moderately reduced, and creatures with low fire and dark resistance have a probability of falling into the "smoldering" and "necrotic" states. Within the fog range, the power of fire and dark attribute spells is moderately increased! It can also be used as a potion material for promotion of some professions. "This is" Looking at the slightly squirming trophy that was like a mist core in the palm of his hand, a strange color flashed in Xia En''s eyes. Abyss? Demon? The essence of this hound is that it is a demon? As early as when he saw the column of his own bloodline, Xia En knew that there were creatures like demons in this world. But this was the first time he saw and hunted a demon with his own eyes. ?What makes Xia En a little curious is that since the world has been submerged by sea water, where is the so-called [abyss]? In the depths of these abyss? Or in that deep and dark [secret sea]? As for the trophy itself, it is not too precious. Disposable props and effects that make no distinction between friend and foe... can only work wonders under special circumstances. ?Maybe one day it can be resold as a potion material. ?However, just the 25% ship soul experience made Xia En happy. This means that with two more monsters like this, the ship spirit level can be raised to LV4! In addition, [Hound of the Underworld] also brings some attribute bonuses. Strong +1! Firepower +2! Mysterious +1! It is indeed the stage BOSS of Coral City, and the rewards given are generous! ?Xia En smiled and was about to continue cleaning up the monsters in the palace, when a strange roar suddenly sounded in his ears. ?He suddenly looked back and saw a giant charging towards him. On the giant''s face there is no longer a single eye, but countless, densely packed eyeballs. ??The skin on its body suddenly split open, and one mouth after another was filled with sharp teeth, uttering some kind of malicious whisper, and seemed to be gnawing at Xia En''s flesh and blood. ?Xia En shook his head violently, and the giant behind him disappeared. But when he lowered his head, he found that there was a huge mouth of flesh and blood on the surface of his body... Until Xia En bit the tip of his tongue and woke up with the help of the pain. ?Many realistic hallucinations were temporarily dissipated. Xia En was secretly shocked: "Is this the negative effect of [giantization]?" This feeling of reduced sanity...why is it so evil? Only now did he realize that this was not the same thing as a decrease in intelligence. Rather, it is more like a side effect of using the [Hui Jiao Amulet], which is indescribably weird. Think about it too. ??This [Giant Wristwheel] has witnessed the demise of the giant clan on the island, and has been stained with the blood of the giant king. It is even half a forbidden relic, and it is normal to have a bit of a curse. Powerful relics always come with risks! Overall, this is still a great killer weapon that has more advantages than disadvantages. ??While Xia En was thinking, he suddenly saw a group of sea people waving to him outside the palace. ??The petite Queen of the Sea Tribe is also among them. After Xia En thought about it for a moment, he realized that the noise from his battle just now was too loud and attracted their attention. Seeing that the power of the ship soul is about to return to zero, continuing to kill monsters will not gain much experience. Xia En simply walked outside the palace and slowly approached the sea tribe. ?Just the process of getting closer made many sea tribesmen break out in cold sweat and their hearts beat thumpingly. The feeling of oppression brought by the huge body is too strong. Not to mention, not long ago, the divine envoy killed a [Hound of Hades] in front of them. Luticia was also surprised, but she still showed the majesty that a queen should have and said calmly: "Your Excellency, the envoy of God, we meet again." It seems that the day when you can clean up the palace is getting closer. Xia En smiled and said: "Since I have made a promise, I will naturally try my best to fulfill it." "As expected of you, Your Majesty the Messenger of God." Luticia praised and asked, "Is there anything we can do to help?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved slightly and he spoke directly. I hope the queen can help me search for some special potion ingredients. They are [Black Stone Essence], [Celestial Star Sea Star], and some auxiliary materials..." ?Shane and the Black Swan are trapped in the foggy sea. If they want to get the magic potion, they can only rely on luck. ??However, the sea tribesmen in [Coral City] can trade with humans at sea. With their "money ability", it should not be a problem to purchase the not-so-precious auxiliary materials. In fact, the sea people have always owed Xia En a lot of favors. If you dont need it now, when will you wait? As expected, after hearing these words, Luticia responded directly without any objection. I remember, I will send people to trade with the salvagers who go to the sea, and I will also ask the people to search as much as possible. "However...some potions are expensive but not available in the market, and may not be available for a while." Xia En naturally understands this truth. Its the best you can buy, and it doesnt matter if you cant buy it. Just after he left these words, the power of the ship soul dropped to 0, and his huge body began to disintegrate. Xia En chuckled and said, "Don''t worry, we will see you again soon." Watching his figure disappear into the sea, Luticia breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, after hearing Xia En''s request, the queen felt a little relieved. She had to admit that Xia En now had the power to threaten the entire Coral City. The characteristics of immortality and the power of becoming a giant, once these two are combined, any ruler will feel uneasy. Compared to a **** who has no desires and desires, Luticia hopes that he can show his desires more, so that a bond of interests can be established. Luticia looked at the sea tribe next to her and said seriously. We must be glad that Gods messengers are our friends, not our enemies Submarine is over! Please choose your loot! 1.The fog of the underworld 2.Princess Susie''s underwear 3.Antique vase It looks like there are multiple choices, but it is actually a multiple-choice question. Xia En decisively chose [Mist of the Underworld]. ??He had just put this small fog core into the space ring when he felt the touch of a foreign object coming from Xiao Hei. ?At the same time, a muffled sound of "boom" came from the deck! ?Shaan walked to the deck with a dark face. I saw that the crystal coffin was lying there peacefully, with some dirty soil on the surface. Feiya also heard the movement on the deck and walked out of the turbine room with some engine oil on her face and hands. ?Seeing the appearance of the crystal coffin, he couldn''t help but sigh: "Captain, it looks like it''s got us." This is not good news. ?Shaan sighed. ?He first walked to the crystal coffin and checked the conditions inside and outside. He found that there was no sign that the coffin board had been opened, and the corpse inside was the same as the last time they met. What the hell, how did you come back? Suddenly, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat: "What the hell? Ghost?" This is not out of any superstitious idea. But there are countless mysterious existences in this world. ghost In the terms of this world, it should be called "ghost", and it is one of them! "Is it really a ghost?" The more Xia En thought about it, the more it seemed possible. He took a deep look at the crystal coffin, and then came to the cemetery where it was buried. The scene here confirmed his guess. The position of the big rocks that were previously pressed on the soil was seen to have changed, and the soil also showed signs of being excavated, with some fresh soil exposed on the surface. ?Although these changes are not obvious, they cannot be hidden from Xia En''s eyes. This means that the crystal coffin was not directly transported to the ship, but used another special way to escape! After thinking about this clearly, Xia En had a bold idea in his mind. (End of this chapter) Chapter 133 Ghost Miss Vivian Chapter 133 Miss GhostVivian Not long. ?Shane returned to the deck of the [Black Swan]. ?Looking at the motionless and honest crystal coffin and the corpse inside, he said lightly. Ive seen through your little trick! If you dont want to experience some unpleasant experiences again, now, explain your reason for coming! ?It''s a pity that the crystal coffin is still lying there quietly without any reaction. Okay, then you can go back to the soil and sleep. Soon, Xia En buried the crystal coffin into the pit again, but the difference from last time was that he left a little of his own blood inside and outside the crystal coffin. Due to the effect of [Blood Power], these blood can become the mark that locks the crystal coffin. Once it makes any movement, Xia En will be able to detect it immediately. Afterwards, Shane returned to the boat and continued to wait patiently. As a fishing enthusiast, the most important thing he lacks is patience. Besides, 99% of the time this "fishing" will not be done by the Air Force! As expected. Early morning the next day. ?While it was still dark, Xia En suddenly felt something in his heart. He noticed that something marked by his blood was slowly approaching the [Black Swan]! Its finally here! ?Shaan quickly walked out of the cabin, came to the deck, and looked towards the beach. ??But what surprised him was that the perceived mark was clearly approaching, but there was no shadow of the crystal coffin on the empty beach. Whats going on? ?Shaan thought for a moment, jumped off the deck decisively, and approached the marked direction. Not long after, he stopped on the beach and frowned slightly. ??The blood mark is clearly not far away, but not to mention the crystal coffin, not even a crab can be seen within the field of vision! Its really strange Did I guess wrong? Just when Xia En was puzzled and ready to go home, a cold and dark energy in his body suddenly had a subtle reaction. Is it the necromantic energy?! Because Xia Ens stay in [Rust Waste City] was too short, the quality of the talent [Necromantic Power] is still only ordinary. So much so that he almost forgot that he still had such a talent. But now, thinking of the speculation of "Ghost", Xia En''s eyes brightened slightly and he began to try to activate this secret power. As the mysterious energy flowed through his body, the vision in front of him gradually changed. A crystal coffin floating in mid-air caught Xia En''s eyes. ?Looking at this scene alone, its still a bit evil. ?However quickly. ?Shaan could see that it was not really "floating." ?Under the coffin, a translucent and slender figure was carrying it on his shoulders, moving forward on the beach with great difficulty! ghost! Oh no, its a ghost! To be honest, when he suddenly saw this figure, Xia En panicked at first. But after seeing her state clearly, Xia En''s mood became extremely complicated. ?This ghost has bare feet, wears a blue spiritual robe, and has blue hair hanging down to his waist. ?The strange thing is that her appearance is blurry, as if separated by a layer of gauze, giving only a "delicate" and "good-looking" impression. It seems that after reading it, you will subconsciously forget it. ??This ghost lady obviously didn''t realize that her whereabouts had been discovered. She just focused on carrying the heavy crystal coffin and walking in the direction of the [Black Swan]. ?Her illusory, white soles stepped on the fine sand, leaving no traces. The weight of this crystal coffin seemed to be a big burden for her. As a result, Miss Ghost would have to stop and rest for a while every time she walked on the road. ?This is also why the marker moves so slowly. ?Even, Xia En could hear her muttering in a low voice. Damn it, why is this box so heavy? ?Shaan: Miss Ghost continued to murmur: "It''s all because of this stingy captain that he buried me in the soil and weighed me down with such a heavy stone! You really think I''m easy to bully, don''t you?" ??As she said that, she glanced at Xia En angrily. Hence, a person and a ghost met their eyes. Wow! Xia En was still fine, but the ghost was frightened and almost threw the coffin in his hand. Can you see me? ??Xia En remained silent and continued to look forward, as if the confrontation just now was just an accident. ?Perhaps Xia En''s performance was too superb, or perhaps the ghost lady was too deceptive, but she actually breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward carrying the crystal coffin. ?But now, she was obviously much more careful and did not dare to say bad things about Xia En. ?Seeing this, Xia En pretended to have learned nothing and walked towards the [Black Swan] in disappointment. After arriving near the ship on the coast, Miss Ghost took a deep breath and, as if using all her strength, began to float upward like a real ghost. ?Of course, she was still carrying the crystal coffin on her shoulders. This process was not as smooth as Xia En expected. Along the way, her body fell downwards more than once, reminding people of those fat birds that are unable to fly due to their excessive weight. Finally, the ghost seemed to have exerted all its strength to **** milk, and then landed on the deck of the [Black Swan] with difficulty. Huchihuchi Im so exhausted But this time, I can definitely scare the captain quite a bit, right? I dont believe he dared to throw me away! As soon as she landed on the boat, Miss Ghost lay facelessly on the deck, with her arms and legs spread out in all directions, like a salted fish waiting to be dried. After all, no one can see her, so why should she care about her image? However, all of this was seen by Xia En. At this moment, there was no fear in his heart, only an urge to complain. This is how she carried the coffin back before co-writing! Ven Moriarty, is this the one you dont want to mess with? ??Complaints are complaints, but Xia En did not forget about business. He walked towards Miss Ghost on the deck with an expressionless face, the Blood Demonic Sword appeared in his hand, and he spoke coldly. Got you, ghost! ??The blue-robed ghost lying on the deck was horrified, turned over and rolled towards the crystal coffin. But Xia En moved faster, and the magic sword blocked the ghost''s rolling path first. Although Xia En was not sure whether the blood magic sword could cause harm to ghosts, considering the wailing vampire souls in the magic sword, it would not be a problem to scare the opponent. Sure enough, after being stopped, the ghost froze on the spot, his whole body trembled and left an afterimage, and he screamed sadly. Woo, dont eat me! I dont like food! Wait...can you see me? ?Shane maintained the image of a cold and dignified captain: "Quiet! Now, it''s interrogation time!" After a while. Xia En and Miss Ghost sat opposite each other and asked lightly. Tell me, whats your name? The ghost answered honestly: "Vivian." Whats your purpose in coming to my ship? Vivian said weakly: "I want to escape from this island." You dont know, there hasnt been a ship on this island for hundreds of years. Last time, a powerful guy finally came here. As a result, he took away all the treasures in the shelter, leaving me behind! ??Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly, and he asked curiously: "Can''t you leave the shelter by yourself?" Why not just hitch a ride on his boat? Hearing this, Vivian looked a little resentful: "That man swept all the rooms." "Originally, I thought he wanted to open my room last. As a lady... I should be more reserved." Who would have thought that he would vacate other rooms and never come back! Can you imagine how I felt when I ran to the coast with all my strength, only to see his boat drifting away! ?Xia En forcibly tightened his expression and continued to ask. In that case, why didnt you answer my question before? Vivian''s eyes became increasingly resentful: "I said it, but you didn''t hear it..." "Um?" ?Shaan immediately realized that he could neither see Vivian nor hear her voice when he did not use the necromantic power to activate [Ghost Vision]. ?His expression became a little stiff for a moment, but he still coughed twice and changed the subject. Ahem, so, what is the origin of you and this crystal coffin? Why in the Ember Shelter? Vivian thought about it carefully and shook her head calmly: "I don''t know." Since I can remember, I have been in this coffin, slowly gaining the ability to move. Perhaps...I would know it when I was alive, right? ?Xia En touched his chin, thoughtfully. He didnt think Ember Shelter would accept this coffin for no reason. On the other hand, the birth of a ghost is actually not an easy task. After the death of most creatures, their souls will dissipate directly. ?Only those who are extremely mentally powerful, have strong obsessions, or have certain special characteristics will be transformed into ghosts. ?Furthermore, Vivian''s performance seemed too sober and rational for a ghost. In fact, more ghosts are in a state of madness and chaos, unwilling to leave the world for the sake of their obsessions. Seeing that Xia En''s hostility gradually faded, Vivian asked pitifully with her eyes wide open. Kind captain, can you take me in? I promise not to cause any trouble! (End of this chapter) Chapter 134 Ship spirit level LV4! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 134 Ship Soul Level LV4! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Shaan was not surprised by Vivian''s request. ?She spent so much effort and climbed back to the deck again and again, wasn''t it just to stay on the Black Swan? Furthermore, judging from her current performance, she seems quite harmless? Of course, Vivian and the crystal coffin obviously hide more secrets, but since they can communicate, there is no need to worry about her suddenly turning into a monster and posing a threat to the crew and ship. Picking up a crew member for free, maybe you can also get a new talent for free, which is not a bad thing. ??And for some reason, this ghost gave him a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before somewhere. ?Xia En did not rush to agree, but opened the panel to check first. Sure enough, after Vivian appeared, her personal panel also appeared. Crew: Vivian (unbound) Race: Ghost (Special) Secret Path Occupation: Witch of Nirvana (Unique) Talent: can be viewed after binding Skill: Can be viewed after binding Description: Before the great flood, ghosts created using special rituals and secret techniques were inextricably linked to the destruction of the elves. This is a shadow of the past that should not exist in this world. Faced with a seemingly destined ending, there are always people who struggle with all their strength, but whether it will bring about destruction or rebirth, only history will give the answer. ifier ?Xia Ens brows raised sharply. ??Nukem? Shadows of the past? Is it related to the destruction of the elves? Each of these terms sounds astonishingly large. ??But when Xia En looked at the ghost in front of him, the first thing that came to his mind was the scene of her just lying on the deck like a salted fish. Captain? Vivian blinked and said frankly: "Even if you don''t want to, I will pester you!" I dont want to stay on this isolated island anymore. Ive already missed it once and I will never miss it a second time! Dont look at me like this, Im pretty good at swimming! Xia En was immediately shocked by the ghost''s face. ??What kind of "Nirvana Witch" is this! After thinking briefly, Xia En nodded. He finally figured out that from the moment he walked into the Ember Shelter, he was destined to be haunted by this female ghost. ?Shaan added: "However, since you have boarded my ship, you must shoulder the responsibility of being a crew member, do you understand?" "no problem!" Vivian behaved like a lady and said happily: "Captain, you are such a good person!" But Ive spent a lot of energy on the road these few times. Can I take a nap for a while? Xia En waved his hands tiredly: "Go ahead, go ahead." Okay! As soon as she finished speaking, Vivian rolled over and rolled into the crystal coffin, and her body quickly disappeared. Out of concern for the new crew members, Xia En found a special room for the crystal coffin and put it in it. Afterwards, Xia En discovered that his understanding of "nap" in Vivian''s words seemed to be quite different. The next few days. ??Life for Shane and the crew returned to normal. ?Due to the infiltration of the blood of giants, the products on this isolated island are extremely rich. Not only are all kinds of wild beasts fat and strong, but there are also many varieties of wild fruits and wild vegetables. ??And without exception, they are all extremely large in size. You must know that fiber and vitamin supplements are very important when sailing at sea. Even if the crew members are all secret travelers with special blood, it is a good thing to have a change of taste and eat some different food. ?After Joey and Ans hunting, Xia En and Fei Yas space rings were basically filled with these fresh ingredients. The only regret is... Because of the foggy weather on the island, it is impossible to make easy-to-preserve foods such as dried meat and dried fruits. With Feiyas efforts, the special material [Youjin] previously obtained from [Rusted Waste City] has been turned into part of the ships hull. The solid attribute of [Black Swan] has been increased again. As for the durability of the ship, it is also slowly restored with the talent of [High Speed ??Regeneration]. ?Nowadays, the holes and wounds left by the [Black Swan] in the naval battle have almost healed. ??Xia En increasingly felt that in the sea area where there were no shipwrights and no supplies, this talent was really a magical skill! ?However, its essence is actually the [Ship Soul Synchrony] brought about by the upgrade of the Ship Soul. ?From Xia Ens experience, every time the Ship Soul level increases, very powerful talents can be unlocked. Because of this. At this time, Xia En looked at the prompt on the panel [Ship Soul Level: LV3 (99%)], and a strong excitement and expectation flashed in his eyes. ?These days, with the blessing of the two abilities of [Giant Transformation] and [Sword of Judgment], he can be said to be even more powerful in spawning monsters and leveling up in the palace. The weaker mobs can basically be pushed and crushed all the way. When encountering a strong enemy, start the second and third stages one by one. ?Except for a few old monsters in the deepest part of the royal court, almost no one can hinder Xia En''s killing spree. The experience points naturally increase rapidly. And today is the day to upgrade! ??As a silver-white coral monster was beheaded by Xia En, the secret sea crystals precipitated. The cold and comfortable secret power flowed into his body, resonating with the accumulation of the previous few days. Finally, it gathered into a clear and continuous sound of waves, echoing in the bodies of Xia En and the ship! Ship Soul Level: LV4 (0%)! Black Swan''s "Firepower" +2! Speed+2! "Strong" +2! Mystery+2! As the ancient waves washed away, Xia En vaguely felt that something like a heart was forming in the hull of the Black Swan. ?That is not the heart of the entity, nor does it exist somewhere in reality. It is more like an illusory, indescribable core, closely related to the fate of the entire ship. ! Boom! Boom! ?This core responds to Xia En''s heartbeat and transmits mysterious power to all parts of the hull, further enhancing the activity of the hull. even It seems that as it beats, the entire [Black Swan] is growing extremely slowly? Unlock Talent: Heart of the Ship Quality: Epic Description: Your ship has its own "heart!" The heart will not take any damage from reality, but it will stop beating when its durability drops to (10/100). Effect 1: ActivationThe ship''s activation level has been increased again, and its self-healing ability has been moderately improved. It will become your most loyal partner and subordinate, please do not betray this trust. Effect 2: GrowthThe volume of this ship will grow with the beating of the "Heart of the Ship". You can also put materials into the "Heart of the Ship" to speed up the growth process. Materials required for a single enhancement Timber already held: 167% Metals already held: 119% Proportion of extraordinary materials: 28% (the upper limit of this enhancement is 25%) Note: The higher the proportion of extraordinary materials, the higher the quality, and the more attributes will be increased after strengthening! After strengthening, the attributes need to reach a certain value before the next strengthening can be carried out. Grow up quickly! This ability... is so strong! After reading the description, Xia En was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of ecstasy emerged in his heart. The effect brought by [Activation] is better than nothing, but the second effect [Growth] is so true that even he was shocked. In the recent naval battle with the Blood Duke, Shane had clearly realized the disadvantages of the small boat. ?Furthermore, as the crew, reserves of supplies, and loot harvested increase, the [Black Swan] will inevitably become a little crowded. The effect of [Growth], despite its simple and unpretentious name, happens to solve this problem. Not only does it allow [Black Swan] to grow on its own, but it can even be strengthened by inputting materials! Hold wood and metal both easier to understand. Ship HeartMost meat and vegetables are not taboo, as long as the materials meet the conditions, they can be used for strengthening. What made Xia En a little confused was this. Why is there an upper limit on the proportion of extraordinary materials? ?Theoretically speaking, shouldnt the more extraordinary materials the better? Then, the degree of enhancement brought by 100% should also be the largest. After thinking about it, Xia En had a guess in his mind. Perhaps its not because the extraordinary materials are not good, but because the [Ship Heart] cannot digest those materials that are too precious. This upper limit can only be increased after [Ship Heart] becomes stronger. ?However, a conjecture is a conjecture after all, and it can only be verified after practice. At present, since there are sufficient materials, the proportion of extraordinary materials has also reached the upper limit. Xia En naturally chose to strengthen without hesitation. ! ?With a heartbeat like a drum, the invisible core swallowed up the metal and wood placed on the ship, slowly digesting and absorbing them. The transformation of the entire ship begins here... (End of this chapter) Chapter 135 Strengthening completed, attributes skyrocketed again! (Two in one!) Chapter 135: Strengthening completed, attributes skyrocketed again! (Two in one!) In the forest of an isolated island. Looking at the huge wild boar that fell in front of him, Joey breathed out softly: "With it, I should have enough for today''s dinner." ??The strength of this mutant wild boar is not weak. With their huge size, thick-skinned defense, and ferocious savage collisions, ordinary first-level mystics are no match for them. But in front of the duo of Joey and An, a mage and a knight, they still had no choice but to end up with nothing on their plates. These past few days. ?As the ships logistics supervisor and cook, Joeys task is not an easy one. The main reason is ??The captain and several companions are very delicious! A more powerful body has a greater demand for energy. As a result, Xia En, An, and Fei Ya have quite a lot of appetites, not to mention that there is a growing baby dragon on the boat! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Knight. After resting for a while, Joey said to An beside him: "That''s it for today''s hunting." ?An nodded silently, picked up the prey, and walked towards the coast. Not long after, the two walked out of the forest. ?But just as he walked to the beach, Joey couldn''t help but widen his eyes and stammered. "Card, Sir Knight! Where is our [Black Swan]?" Hearing this, An''s heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked towards the seaside. The jingling of the armor on his body was enough to show his panic and shock. Soon, An''s eyes also solidified. I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar ship docked on the misty coast. ??The ship has a jet black hull, with a faint dark blue color. The texture is like steel and wood, taking into account some of the characteristics of both. ?The towering masts and chimneys look like giants in the mist. On various parts of the hull, you can still see some bright silver lines, which are emitting a hazy shimmer. It contains some kind of special secret power, which creates faint ripples in the sea water. ??Whether it is the appearance, or the length and width, it is quite different from the [Black Swan] in the two peoples memories. Can be partial ?On the bow of that ship is carved a black swan with its wings fluttering high! ?Joy and An looked at each other and could see each other''s surprise. They just went to the island to hunt for a while. Why did the Black Swan become like this when they came back? The two of them hurried towards the [Black Swan]. After getting closer, Joey could more clearly feel the changes in the [Black Swan]. The entire ship has become wider and longer visibly to the naked eye, and even its height has increased considerably. The material of the hull has become extremely weird, as if it has changed from the original wood to an extraordinary material between metal and wood. It even feels warm to the touch! ? ??The moment they climbed onto the deck, a vague heartbeat sounded in Joey and An''s ears. It seems like...the entire Black Swan is stretching with the heartbeat? ?Furthermore, Joey also noticed that when he was on the ship, the concentration of magic in the air around him seemed to be much stronger than before. What the **** is this ??On the deck, Fei Ya and Xian Ge also walked out of the cabin because of the changes in the "Black Swan". Xiange flapped her wings, flew up to the mast, looked around, and couldn''t help but marvel. Wow, its really getting bigger! Could it be that it was affected by the blood of giants? Fei Ya walked to the place with silver lines on the deck. After observing it carefully, surprise flashed in his eyes. Is this... mithril? How does this metal fit into the hull? Furthermore, there is not only mithril, but also black steel, cloud iron...arent these all rare metals obtained from [Rust Waste City] before? ?As a believer in the God of Steam and Steel, Feiya has a certain understanding of the properties of these metals. Because of this. He understood more clearly how unrealistic it was to integrate them all into the hull and obtain their excellent characteristics at the same time. Even the top mechanics in the Church of Steam cannot do this. Just when all the crew members were amazed and sighing. Xia En was sitting in the captain''s cabin, his face full of joy of the harvest. ?In front of his eyes, a lot of information washed past like a waterfall. The main body of "Black Swan" has been strengthened successfully! Durability limit +50! Strongness +5! Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Mithril", unlock the trait: Secret Power Aggregation Quality: Rare Description: Your ship is constantly attracting mysterious power, forming a unique field. Being in this field, the mystic''s practice speed is slightly accelerated, and the power of some spells and skills is slightly increased! But at the same time, the high concentration of secret power will also attract the prying eyes of sea creatures and attract their attacks. This kind of rule is also recorded in the book "The Law of Secret Power Aggregation". Sure enough...is the main aspect of hull upgrade and improvement, durability and sturdiness? ?Xia En touched his chin, not surprised. As the hull becomes larger, it is equivalent to the health bar becoming thicker, and the upper limit of durability will naturally increase. The input materials are directly integrated into the original materials, subtly improving their quality and increasing the [sturdiness] attribute. You are defensive because you are too afraid of pain? ?Xia En grinned and looked at the newly unlocked trait [Secret Power Convergence]. Obviously, like the components on the ship, the [Black Swan] will also have special properties due to the extraordinary materials invested. "Gathering the secret power around? It will help the crew''s practice." It would be interesting if we could unlock a trait similar to [Retaliation]. When the time comes, hitting me will be equivalent to hitting yourself? ??Having a random thought, Xia En looked at the [Core Components] column on the panel. Thats right, this transformation has completed not only the main body of the ship, but also the components that were previously enhanced with [Crystal of Filth]! Core components Artillery: Silent Killing! (precious) Steam Turbine: Gluttonous Monarch! (epic) Secret Dragon Bone (precious) Sea crystal wood hull (variation) (rare) Phantom Storm Ray Sail (Rare) The names of guns, steam turbines and keels were all changed. Especially the first two, they seem to have their own exclusive code names. Silent Killing Type: core component Description: A cannon that has been strengthened multiple times by "Crystal of Filth" and has both the effects before and after the strengthening. Effect 1: SilenceYour artillery pursues the aesthetics of silent and precise violence. The sound when the artillery fires will be greatly reduced, but when it hits an enemy target, it will be affected by "contamination" and "curse". Effect 2: KillingYour artillery is hungry for killing! Every time an enemy target is killed with a cannonball, the power, hit rate, and speed of the artillery will be slightly increased! Effect 3: Pollution Curse (omitted later) I bloom in the midst of killing, like flowers in the dawn. Gluttony Monarch (Heart of Steam) Type: core component Description: When installed on a ship, it can increase the "Speed" attribute by 25 points! Effect 1: Gluttonous MonarchThis machine''s appetite and recipes have become larger. It is no longer limited to the category of metal, and most materials can become its food! Effect 2: Overload (omitted later) Effect 3: Self-regeneration (omitted later) Note: Number of cores that can be equipped (3/10) ???? With just a casual glance at the effect, Xia En knew that this enhancement was definitely worth it. The [Silent Kill], which received its real name, has become a truly powerful killing weapon. It can not only launch sneak attacks silently, but also become stronger as the battle progresses. Where are you leaving this pile of murder books? ?Xia Ens expression was a little strange. ?However, he didn''t feel much about the changes in "Xiao Zhan". After all, it just changed from being very edible to being particularly edible. There are really more and more big households consuming food on this ship. Xia En sighed. Not to mention the steam turbine, strengthening the ship also requires a lot of resources. Not to mention, he also has to think of ways to train his own crew. I really dont know how expensive firewood and rice are when Im not a family member When there is a chance, I still have to find the sea tribe in Coral City to get some gold coins, or make money in other ways. ?Of course, this situation is better than having money and not knowing how to spend it. It can also be regarded as a happy trouble. Finally, Shane looked at the entire panel from top to bottom. Name: Xia En Age: 18 years old Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin); Succubus (extremely thin) Secret Path Occupation: Deep Sea Favorite (Level 2) Career fit: 80/100 Ship: Black Swan (+1) Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (0%) Attributes: Firepower 34, Speed ??40, Solidity 41, Mystery 38 Personal attributes: Strength 42, Speed ??54, Constitution 51, Mystery 50 Comprehensive quality: 0.5 Durability: 150/150 Talents: Heart of the Ship, Necromantic Power, Majesty of the Bronze Dragon... Skill: Sword of Judgment (entry)... Feeling the powerful power surging in his body, the corners of Xia En''s mouth raised slightly. No matter how many times I have experienced it, the feeling of becoming stronger with the help of [Captains Majesty] is always addictive. But at the same time. ?Shaan also noticed some differences on the panel. Black Swan (+1)? This represents the number of times of strengthening? Shouldnt it become (+12) (+13) in the future? ?However, from the current point of view, there seems to be no success rate in using [Ship Heart] to strengthen. As long as you have enough materials, you can boldly strengthen it. It is worth mentioning. ?In addition to the ship attributes of [Black Swan], Shane''s personal attributes also appear on the panel. I think it is because the gap between the two is widening due to various factors, so it becomes apparent. but The overall quality is only 0.5? The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched: "What''s the point of this criterion?" Logically speaking, his physical fitness at this time has far exceeded the scope of normal humans, and he is not inferior to ordinary sea monsters. Sweeping and crushing with numerical values ??is not just talk. However, here on the panel, his overall quality is not even 1! What exactly is the reference of this panel? ? Complaints are complaints, but the feeling of getting stronger is always real. After Xia En felt it carefully, he walked out of the cabin. ?Soon, the crew on the deck looked at their captain. This sight made everyone''s breath stagnate slightly. As mystics, their perceptions are sharper than ordinary people. Hence, I noticed the changes that had taken place in Xia En. The deep coercion lingering around him had obviously increased. The profound temperament coming from the deep sea or the boundless starry sky has become more and more prominent. ?Just like the transformed ship, the captain''s figure has also become stronger and more majestic. ?Those sharp eyes fell on the skin, and there was even a slight tingling sensation. Mr. Captain, you have become stronger... ??Joy clenched his fists and encouraged himself in his heart: "I will also work hard to become stronger and help Mr. Captain!" Xiange couldn''t help but shrink his head. The previous encounter still left a big psychological shadow on it. But when he thought about it, he was shocked: "No, what should I be afraid of?" The captain and I are on the same team! The stronger the captain is, doesnt it mean that I am stronger? "When the time comes, if any enemy covets my bloodline, the captain and I will kill him!" ?Thinking of this, Xian Ges mind suddenly became clear. Hmph, you are indeed the great bronze dragon with astonishing wisdom, Xian Ge Maya! "But before that, I have to hold on to the captain''s thigh." ?On the other side, Fei Ya''s eyes also flashed with a strange light. Even if the body has not been mechanically modified, it can reach this point..." I really want to study whats going on with the captains body. ??Fei Ya can indulge in the research of steam machinery, essentially because he is a scientist who loves to study and is very interested in both the human body and machinery. As for the silent An An among the crowd "Um?" ?Xia En suddenly looked at the motionless armored knight with a strange expression. This kind of aura...has An entered the promotion ritual again? "ah?" ?Other crew members were also surprised. The promotion ritual is not a big deal, how can you get in as soon as you enter? But after careful perception, they found that Xia En''s judgment was not wrong. An once again fell into a mysterious and mysterious state, faintly carrying the aura of the [Secret Sea]. Xia En looked a little envious. You know, in order to advance to the second-level ritual, he suffered a lot behind the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. ?Where can someone like An be so relaxed and free-spirited, without even needing magic medicine, to be promoted casually? Is this a special characteristic of the elven race, or is it because of the characteristics of the [Knight] secret path? ?Xia En thought about it casually, and then explained to the other crew members. I got a special ancient relic that can make [Black Swan] continue to grow. In the future, this ship will become even bigger and more majestic! Hearing this, everyone naturally had no doubts. ?There are many strange relics in this world. Although relics that can evolve a ship''s hull are rare, they also appear in some legends. And, theres one more thing Xia En turned his head and looked at the misty sea. We have stayed on this isolated island for too long, it is time to set off. He took out the azure blue [Siren Scale], waved his hand, and said. Set sail, set sail! Target, Siren Islands! Thanks to I miss you so much for the 1,500-coin reward and Xianwuxuxixi for the 100-coin reward! Thank you so much! I dont know why Im feeling particularly tired today. Lets take a short rest. Im going to prepare for a few days next month to challenge my limits! (End of this chapter) Chapter 136 The strange customs of the Siren, the place where the ancient dragon fell (big Chapter 136: The strange customs of the Siren, the place where the ancient dragon fell (please subscribe for this big chapter!) ?At sea, the captains order is greater than the sky. ?Following Xia Ens order, the [Black Swan] began its voyage in the misty sea under the guidance of [Siren Scale]. I have to say. ?After the negative status of [Blood Sacrifice Curse] was lifted, it has undergone an all-round strengthening, and [Black Swan] feels different when driving. It''s like switching from a second-hand car to a supercar, it''s exceptionally smooth. ?But even so, Xia En did not dare to race at full speed in the fog. After all, God knows there are other terrifying entities in this fog that he can''t afford to offend. If he hits a reef hidden in the fog, it''s no joke. ?Just like that, three days passed by in a flash while on the road. During this period, An was successfully promoted to a second-level Mystic Pathfinder, with the profession of [Guardian Knight]! Status "Knight''s Guard" changed! ?Quality: Rare Description: When your knight is nearby, your mental resistance and toughness will be moderately increased, and the probability of falling into a negative state is greatly reduced. Your knight can consume his own secret power and vitality to provide you with a shield, restore your status, and heal your injuries! selflessness, sacrifice, dedication. Say one thing or another, this state is quite powerful and can be called a small auxiliary skill. ??The only problem is that Xia En is worried that his physique is too different from An''s, and the healing will drain him of his secret power! Another thing that left Shane quite speechless was... Since the crystal coffin was placed in the cabin, ghost Vivian has not woken up even once! On the panel, her status has also changed to [Vivian (unbound) (sleeping)]. ?Xia En suspected that this ghost''s concept of time seems to be different from that of ordinary humans? This afternoon. Xia En stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking at the sea. The [Siren Scale] in his hand gave off a faint light. These days, the reaction to [Siren Scale] has obviously become stronger. This means that the distance between [Black Swan] and [Siren Islands] is constantly shortening. In fact, Xia En doesnt know much about the [Siren Islands]. ?In addition to knowing that this place is suspected to be Joey''s hometown and the hometown of all sirens, the only other things left are the legends about creatures like sirens in previous lives. But there has always been a big gap between legend and reality. The specifics of what you will encounter can only be known after you get to the island. ?Thinking of this, Xia En glanced at the silver-haired girl not far away. ??Joy seems to be practicing magic. ??But judging from the chaotic flow of magic power around her, the ice crystals spreading on the deck, and the inaccurate spell trajectory. ?Her thoughts may have flown to nowhere. To prevent the girl from causing greater damage to the [Black Swan], Xia En walked to Joey and said. Joy, lets put aside the practice of magic for a while. How about chatting with me for a while? Ship, Mr. Captain! Hearing this, Joey suddenly came back to his senses and put away his magic power in a panic: "Yes... I''m sorry..." Looking at her appearance at this time, Xia En inexplicably remembered the situation when he first met Joey. ?At that time, she was also timid, afraid of strangers, and had a very poor disguise. Who would have thought that Joey would not only take off his disguise and guard, but also become a real secret traveler? In a blink of an eye, it turns out that so much time has passed. Xia En sighed with emotion, waved his hand, and said calmly: "We are about to arrive at the Siren Islands. How do you feel?" ??Joy was stunned, and then said frankly: "To be honest, I feel quite complicated." A little nervous, a little uneasy, and a little expectant... This is normal. Xia En comforted and said: "In my hometown, there is a saying - you are shy when you are close to home." The farther away a person is from his hometown, the closer he is to his hometown once he returns, the less peaceful his mood will be. ?Joy was confused and curious: "Isn''t Mr. Captain''s hometown... Duke Island?" Xia En shook his head, looked at the vast sea with complicated eyes, and said. Joy, you are actually lucky. After all, you still have a chance to return to your hometown. But I...maybe never go back. ?Joy was a little confused when she heard this, but from the tone of these words, she could also tell that Mr. Captain was not in a calm mood. ? ? By some strange coincidence, a sentence blurted out from the girl''s mouth. Mr. Captain, you still have me! "Um?" "Uh...ah...I mean, you, me and the other crew members are all companions you can trust." Oh, by the way, there is also the [Black Swan]! Isnt the [Black Swan] our home? ??Joy''s face turned slightly red and he explained very quickly. In fact, she didnt know why she had to explain in a panic, let alone why her heart was beating so fast. Thumping, thumping, as if its about to jump out of the chest. ?Shaan heard what Joey meant to comfort him and chuckled: "That''s right." Suddenly, at this moment. The [Siren Scale] in Xia En''s hand glowed with a brighter blue light and began to vibrate slightly. ??Joy also felt something, looked in a direction in the fog, listened carefully and said. Listen, its singing! Xia En''s heart moved, and he carefully distinguished the sounds in the mist, and sure enough he heard a melodious song. ?This singing voice was different from any singing voice he had ever heard. melodious, melodious, mysterious. With an intoxicating magic. But the moment he heard the song, Xia En''s expression became solemn, and his eyes became wary. You heard the siren''s song! After the determination of mental toughness and resistance, you successfully resisted the state of "charm" and "mind control"! You know, in the legend that Xia En knows, the sea monster can lure ships to hit the rocks and sink them! ?Perhaps the aborigines of the Siren Islands are not friendly towards outsiders? In fact, it is precisely because of this concern that Xia En will wait until the [Black Swan] is strengthened and his own strength is improved again before going to the [Siren Islands] to explore. "The influence of singing is not just for me..." ?Thinking of this, Xia En immediately looked at the other crew members on the ship. Captain, what happened? Xian Ge took the lead and flew over, curiously asking: "What is this sound? It sounds pretty good." ??As a bronze dragon, it has good mental resistance, which is quite normal. Xia En didn''t have time to pay attention to it and turned to look at Fei Ya and An. The former looked as usual and just murmured: "Is this the song of the siren?" ??The latter came silently behind Xia En, seemingly ready to fight. Think about it too. Feiya can even overcome the blood-sucking desire engraved deep in her blood. Dont be too easy when you resist the temptation of the sirens song. Since An is both a knight and an elf, it is normal for him to be immune to abnormal mental states! ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. The person closest to an ordinary person on this ship is me, the captain? From a certain perspective, this is probably the advantage of having a crew of alien species. In the event of such a special event, there is no need to worry about their safety. Finally, Xia En looked at Joey beside him. After hearing the singing, the expression on the girl''s face was a little complicated. Soon, Joey took a breath, and then spit out an ethereal and crystal-like singing voice. ??We were clearly in the white mist, and the sky looked a little gloomy. ?But her singing immediately reminded Xia En of the scene of the evening wind blowing through the window on a summer night and the wind chimes swaying gently. There is an indescribable sense of clarity and transparency. It makes people who hear the singing feel calm unconsciously. ??Although Xia En has long seen Joey''s talent of "beautiful singing voice" from the panel. But it was also the first time for him to hear a girl singing loudly, and he couldn''t help but feel a little surprised. But it seemed that he heard the singing of his own race, and the voice of the siren paused slightly in the mist. When it started playing again, the strange feeling in the singing subsided. Instead, there is a kind of closeness and gentle kindness. If the previous singing was "bewitching" and "seduce", then the current siren''s singing has become an "invitation." ?Perceiving this change, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and slowly drove the [Black Swan] in the direction where the singing came from. ?However, Joey did not stop singing. ?Two similar but different songs, one after another in the mist, seem like a special way of communication. Not long after, as if attracted by the singing, several different voices rang out in the mist. Gradually, they gathered into a chorus of sirens. ?This is not an ordinary chant, but a ritual with mysterious qualities. You listened to the welcome chorus of the sirens! In a short period of time, your endurance and mysterious attributes have been slightly improved! Seeing these lines of prompts, Xia En lowered his guard slightly. He was quite worried at first, and the encounter with the sirens turned into a situation where the battle started within three seconds of meeting. At present, it seems that the worst case scenario will not develop. It didnt take long. Under the guidance of the song, a strange archipelago slowly came into Xia En''s eyes. ??And on the sea surface and reefs near the [Black Swan], mermaids began to appear one after another. They have beautiful faces and figures, and their lower bodies are strong and powerful fish tails. ??Black hair is spread behind the mermaid, and a large area of ??white skin is exposed to the air, with only the most limited shielding using shells. ?Noticing Xia En''s gaze, the sirens laughed like silver bells and waved to him without shyness. Among them, there was also a siren who let out a low exclamation. Its a man Amidst the harmless laughter of the other sisters, the siren who exclaimed shyly dived into the sea and hid. ??Xia En''s eyes swept over them and looked at the nearby rocks, but he didn''t see any dry corpses or white bones. At present, the attitude of the Krakens is relatively friendly. A moment later, the [Black Swan] docked on the shore of this small island. Unlike normal islands, which are built in the central area of ??the island, the Kraken''s residence is located not far from the coast. They used wood to build houses on the rocks and the sea, which are somewhat similar to the floating houses in previous lives. Several wooden houses are connected together to form a coastal village. As soon as the Black Swan anchored, two very similar-looking sirens swam over and spoke in a voice as clear as spring water. Captain from afar, welcome to the Kraken Islands! The patriarch has already heard of your arrival and invites you to go to the island to talk. ?Xia En was not surprised by this, nodded and said: "Okay, please wait a moment." ??Although the sirens seem to be harmless, Shane has always believed that it is necessary to be on guard against others. There must be a few crew members left on board the Black Swan. After thinking for a moment, Xia En decided to take Joey and Fei Ya, and the three of them went together. The identity of the bronze dragon is very special, and it would be bad if it attracts the attention of the sea monster. ??It is quite inconvenient to move on this kind of floating building, and the floating wood may collapse with just one force. It didnt take long. Led by the twin mermaids Lulu and Lili. The three of them arrived at the largest and most eye-catching floating house on the sea. ?What surprised Xia En was that the scenes on these floating houses and corridors were not as primitive and ancient as he expected. The wood is cut extremely smooth. At some joints of wooden blocks, you can see the way rivets are connected. The interior of the house is even more beautiful with bright windows and exquisite decoration. There are also several exquisite flintlock guns hanging on the walls. ??If it werent for the mermaid shapes of the residents here, it would be almost indistinguishable from ordinary island buildings. ?It seems a bit too modern! Whats going on? With a doubtful attitude, Xia En raised his head and looked at the Siren Clan Leader not far away. ??This patriarch is a young woman who still has charm. Her lower body is still the tail of a fish, lying on the soft cushion on the floor. But her upper body is wearing a very exquisitely made purple dress, which outlines mature curves. I am the leader of this Kraken tribe, Natasha. Xia En also spoke: "I am the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En, and they are my crew." After introducing herself, Natasha chuckled and said, "You must be curious now why we are different from the legendary Siren." The reason is simple... Times have changed! We used to be very closed-minded and rarely communicated with the outside world. While we were completely unaware of it, human technology has already undergone earth-shaking changes. Whether it is artillery, steam engines, or the technology of building houses and making clothes, they have all evolved to a level that is difficult for us to understand. ??Natasha''s tone was complicated, but soon she said it proudly. Why cant Siren have these technologies that improve the quality of life? So, my ancestor made a bold decision. She began to actively contact the passing ships and lured them to the Kraken Islands to absorb the outstanding talents on board. "Um?" Xia En was stunned for a moment, and asked with a strange expression: "Absorption...means?" As the name suggests, it is to absorb them into the Krakens group. ??Natasha looked at the dress she was wearing, then at the flintlock gun hanging on the wall, and said slightly sadly. This dress was made for me by my husbands own hands, and the pistols were also his treasures. Xia En asked carefully: "May I ask your husband..." Yes, he is a human captain. Natasha said frankly: "He passed away three years ago." ?Shane is in a weird mood. Because he suddenly thought of the legend of the Seven Seas. The Kraken will use its songs to lure sailors to the Kraken Islands and let them stay on the islands forever. At first glance, it sounds like a sea monster took away the lives of the crew. But from another perspective, if the crew members died of old age on the islands, wouldnt they also stay forever? After satisfying his curiosity, Shane looked at Joey aside and gave him an encouraging look. After hesitating for a moment, Joey plucked up the courage, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and spoke. "Ms. Natasha, actually... I also have the blood of the Siren flowing in my body." Yeah, I know. Natasha nodded without surprise: "Besides, your bloodline is very special." So, why did you come to the Siren Islands? Having said all that, Joey felt much more relaxed and said directly: "I came to see my hometown, but I''m not sure whether the Kraken Islands is the hometown in my memory." Thats it ?Natashas words were a little gentle: So, child, do you still have any impressions of your former hometown? ?Joy thought hard, biting his lip and said: "I remember... when I was a child, I lived in a very bright and empty white room." There seems to be transparent glass on the wall, and several black towers can be seen through the glass. White room glass tower Natasha frowned and shook her head: "In my impression, there should be no such place on the Siren Islands." Do you remember your parents names? If they are sirens who have lived in the Siren Islands, I can probably still remember their names. ?Joy fell into a longer memory, and finally spoke with difficulty after a long time. My mother, I think her name is Diana Diana!? ?Natasha''s tone suddenly rose, and a flash of disbelief flashed in her eyes. ??Joy''s face showed hope and asked: "Madam, have you heard of this name?" "certainly." ??Natasha stared at Joey with extremely complicated eyes. Diana was once my best playmate and the most talented girl in the Siren clan for thousands of years. Even I can only look up at her back. "However, she disappeared mysteriously when she was sixteen years old. I searched all over the Siren Islands but could not find her." ??Joy was confused: "Sixteen years old, missing?" In other words, I was born after my mother left the Siren Islands? It should be like this. ??Natasha sighed: "It''s a pity, but I''m afraid the Siren Islands are not your real hometown." ??Xia En silently chewed and digested the information in the two people''s words. ??He thought that by taking Joey to the Siren Islands, things would come to an end naturally, but he didn''t expect that there were so many hidden secrets behind it. On the contrary, more doubts emerged. Why did Diana disappear mysteriously? Did she leave voluntarily or was she kidnapped? A white, glassed room that sounds like some kind of laboratory. And who is Joeys father? While thinking about these issues, Xia En looked at Joey worriedly, a little worried that she would be depressed because of this. But to his surprise, Joey cheered up quickly, and she respectfully thanked Natasha: "Ms. Natasha, thank you." Its just a little effort. ??Natasha looked at Joey and murmured: "It seems that you and Diana are indeed somewhat similar..." At this time, Joey asked again: "I heard someone said that there is a place on the Siren Islands that can stimulate the potential of the Siren bloodline. Can I give it a try?" Her idea is very simple, and it comes as she comes. ?Although I couldnt find my real hometown, I could at least improve my strength and become a support to Mr. Captain. Of course, kid, its just... Natasha apologized: "The ancestral land with the power of transformation has been occupied by a group of monsters contaminated by the blood of the ancient dragon in recent years." If you want to go to your ancestral land, you will encounter many dangers. Xia En said in surprise: "Ancient dragon bloodline?" Yes, in fact, in the center of the Siren Islands, a real ancient dragon once slept. However, it failed to wake up from its long sleep and eventually died here, causing many creatures to be contaminated. Natasha felt quite ashamed and said: "Our sea monster clan''s combat power on land is extremely limited, so we are no match for those monsters, so our ancestral land has been occupied for many years." If Captain Shane is willing to help us destroy the monsters, I would be very grateful. Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up. A creature like a dragon is full of treasures all over its body! Materials such as dragon bones and dragon teeth are even more natural and extraordinary materials. He happened to be worrying about what materials would be used to fill the next upgrade of the hull. Isn''t this an excellent opportunity? Not to mention, it can also help Joey complete the transformation of his bloodline. Bring the bronze dragon with you, and you might get an unexpected reward! Thinking of this, Xia En said: "Since Patriarch Natasha has said so, we will accept this commission." Thank you very much. Natasha smiled: "However, since everyone has come a long way, why not rest in the village for a day, and then go to fight against the dragon-blooded monster tomorrow." We can also give a banquet and entertain you. Xia En couldnt refuse Natashas warm invitation. However, I dont know if it was his misunderstanding. During the dinner, when the Sirens saw the combination of "two women and one man", they all showed a little disappointment. After finishing the meal, Fei Ya walked up to Xia En and spoke earnestly. Mr. Captain, I think...the way these sirens look at you is not quite right, so be careful tonight. Hmm? Whats wrong? Feiya just smiled and said nothing. Not long after, Xia En walked into the guest room arranged by the sirens. Not long after he lay down, the door was quietly pushed open and two figures walked in. (End of this chapter) Chapter 137 A night with Joey Chapter 137 A Night with Joey In the dark night. ??The sound of the door opening was hidden in the soft sound of the waves, making it difficult to detect, but this was obviously not concealed from Xia En''s sensitive perception. He quickly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door. The existence of [lightless touch] enables him to see in the dark. The moment he saw the scene at the door clearly, Xia En was slightly startled. The person who walked into the room was none other than the twin sisters who had led the way during the day, Lulu and Lily. But unlike their mermaid forms during the day, the lower bodies of the sisters now turned into human legs, slender and straight, and covered with a white gauze of unknown material. ?However, it can also be clearly seen that they are not very accustomed to this pair of human feet, and they stumble when walking. ?So that we can move forward slowly by supporting each other. You two, this is... Xia En vaguely guessed the purpose of their night visit, but he still took the initiative to speak out. Ah! Captain Shane, youre awake. Lulu''s voice was soft and waxy: "But it just so happens that the sacred and great rituals can only be performed when you are awake." Lily also giggled and said: "Captain, this is the custom of our Siren Islands." Who made the number of male descendants born from our Sirens to be too small? For the continuation of the race, there is nothing we can do about it. In the past few times, other sisters took the lead, but this time its finally our turn! ?Xia Ens eyelids twitched, and his heart was quite shaken. After all, he is a normal man, and it is normal to have some needs. ??Furthermore, he is very self-aware of his self-control. The last time he declined the proprietress of [Wind Wave Tavern] was his limit. Now just break into the room like this... Can you resist the temptation? ?Although Xia En wanted to answer confidently Ill withstand it! But his body didnt seem to think so. ?However, Xia En still wanted to struggle and asked: "Speaking of which, what happened to your legs?" Oh? Thats what you said! Lulu explained: "This is our family''s special magic potion, which can allow the hybrid sea monster to temporarily move on the shore." Lily agreed: "My mother also said that this magic potion can also increase the probability of pregnancy, otherwise just one night will definitely not be enough!" These twin mermaids are Natasha''s daughters, so they have the priority to hold the ceremony. "I see." ?Xia En frowned, and his fiery heart gradually cooled down. There is nothing wrong with solving the needs, but he does not want to leave a few illegitimate children in the Siren Islands. After all, it is impossible for him to stay on the Kraken Islands. There is a high probability that he will leave after visiting the ancestral land of the Kraken. In this way, the child will be born without a father. ?Due to some experiences in his previous life, Xia En is still quite resistant to this kind of thing. ?Lulu heard Xia En''s sudden cold tone, but she misunderstood and said in surprise. "Could it be that...Captain Shane actually prefers the mermaid form?" Lily whispered softly: "I heard from the sisters on the island that some humans do have this special hobby. By the way, what is that organ called?" It seems like you are venting something? What a weird name! Men have really weird tastes! Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, the corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. ?Before he had time to explain, there was another set of footsteps outside the door. Mr. Captain? Lulu and Miss Lily!? ?Outside the door, Joey opened his eyes wide and looked at the three people in the room. What do you want to do to Mr. Captain! Out of some intuition, Joey looked at the twin sisters in an aggressive manner, with the intention of taking action to defend Mr. Captain. Not good! I was discovered by this little sister! What now? Its our fault to steal food, run away! Without saying a word, the two sisters ran away staggeringly. Then they jumped into the sea with two "plops" and soon turned into two mermaids and swam away. Hey! You guys... ??Joy chased him for two steps, but in the end he didn''t chase her into the sea, and soon returned to Shane''s room. At this moment, Xia En suddenly noticed something strange and looked at the girl with silver hair and red eyes with strange eyes. No, why did this little girl come to my room in the middle of the night? Could it be that ??Joy also realized that his behavior was a bit strange and quickly explained. Aunt Natasha told me too much information during the day today. I couldnt sleep in the middle of the night, so I wanted to chat with Mr. Captain. In fact, this is a lie! The reason why Joey did this was actually because Feiya reminded her before going back to the room. If you dont want the captain to be caught first by your sisters, youd better watch him at night. That''s why Joey broke into Shane''s room in the middle of the night. Xia En naturally didnt know what was going on, so he just nodded and said, I understand. I actually have some guesses about your mother. According to your description, the place where you lived when you were a child may have been a large research institution. But the question is, why is your mother among them? Is it because of the special nature of the Sirens bloodline? ??Joy also had a look of thought on his face: "The Siren''s bloodline...the specialness..." Suddenly, she suddenly recalled some fragmentary memories. Storm Goddess! Its the Storm Goddess! Storm Goddess? I remembered that when I was a child, there seemed to be a statue of the Storm Goddess standing in that room, and from time to time, songs in praise of the Storm Goddess would be heard. ??Joy said very quickly. ?Hearing this, Xia En''s expression also changed slightly. Because, he thought of a legend about the Storm Goddess Before she became a real god, the Storm Goddesss true form was a powerful siren! His name is taboo, also known as the [Oldest Siren]! The reason why he had not thought of this legend before was simple. There have always been different opinions on the origin of the gods in the Seven Seas, and the "Siren Theory" is only a legend that is not very widely circulated. Even in the eyes of some believers of the Deep Sea Church, this statement is a blasphemy and slander against the Storm Goddess! It is a kind of speech that may result in being beaten if you talk openly about it. Originally, Xia En was only half-convinced about the "Siren theory" and had no intention of exploring it in depth. What is the true identity of the Storm Goddess, and what does it have to do with a little captain like him? But now, once this legend is connected with Joey''s suspected imprisoned mother, it is not difficult for Shane to draw some terrible inferences. Diana is a genius that has not appeared in the Siren clan for thousands of years. Does this mean that her bloodline is extremely pure, even close to her ancestor [the oldest siren]? "Assuming that the ''Siren Theory'' is true, then the person who took Diana away was definitely not for her." Their real target is the Storm Goddess! In an instant, a huge wave surged in Xia En''s heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time. ??In this world where the power of gods can actually play a role, there are actually a group of people who dare to plot against gods! ?Furthermore, she is currently the storm goddess who holds the most powerful authority on the Seven Seas! ?This conjecture alone is shocking enough!? ? ? Joey is a smart girl. She quickly thought of the same direction as Xia En, and she couldn''t help but look in disbelief. This, this is too Xia En calmed down and asked: "In your memory, did your mother leave that white room with you?" ??Joy tried hard to remember for a while, but after a while, he could only say in frustration. I dont remember I just remember that I seemed to be swimming and swimming in the sea, and finally I was picked up by a captain. If mother was still there ??Joy''s tone was confused and helpless, with a touch of uneasiness. Obviously, these people who dare to plan the Storm Goddess are definitely not ordinary secret travelers. ?They are tolerant, powerful, mysterious, and patient. Because of this, they dare to have such a big plan. Finding the place where he once lived and his mother seemed to have become an unattainable dream. But at this moment. A warm big hand fell on Joey''s head. "It''s fine." ??Joy heard Shane say firmly and softly. "I will take you to find the room in your memory, even if...that is not your real hometown." As for those who plot against the gods, if they dare to block my steps, I will crush them together with the [Black Swan]. ?Joy raised his head in confusion: "Captain..." ?Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the door. It was like a siren was whispering. Isnt it over yet? No wonder...that captain has a good-looking face and is so strong. Lulu and the others must be addicted to it! Next, its my turn, right? ?Shaan: Did you really take turns co-authoring? Thinking about it, there are very few ships that dare to enter the misty sea, and even fewer of them will come to the Siren Islands. ?Finally, we waited for the boat, but there was only one man on the boat - Fei Ya''s appearance became an excellent disguise at this time, causing the sirens to misunderstand. Should we not seize every opportunity to perpetuate the race? ?At this time, Joey smiled and said in an inexplicably brisk tone. It seems that Mr. Captain is really popular! However, I dont plan to leave tonight. "ah?" ?Shaan was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, he saw Joey sitting down next to the door of the room. ??The girl casually made a small lighting spell, lighting up a corner of the room, and then read a handwritten magic book there, and soon entered a meditative state. When he saw the light in the room, the voice of the siren outside the door quickly became low. They muttered words such as "stingy" and "what a pity" and gradually walked away. Seeing this, Xia En shook his head helplessly, lay on the bed, and quickly fell asleep. A dreamless night. ?Thanks to Joey''s care, although there were sirens passing by Xia En''s door one after another last night, none of them entered the door. ?However, what surprised Xia En. Last night, the leader of the Kraken, Natasha, seemed to have stopped outside the door for a while? The aura of secret power on her body is very unique, and Xia En can easily distinguish her from other sirens. ?This made Xia En feel happy but also a little regretful. All in all, my mood is quite complicated. ?However, we always have to look forward to the future. After breakfast, Xia En returned to the [Black Swan] under the resentful eyes of all the sirens. Miss Lulu, please lead the way for us. ?Standing on the deck, Xia En looked at the Kraken on the sea not far away. "yes" ?Lulus voice was weak, she glanced at him faintly, and then swam toward the center of the archipelago with Lily next to her. The Kraken Islands, as the name suggests, is a community composed of several islands. The "ancestral land" Natasha refers to is on an island at the core of the archipelago. Lulu and Lily, the twin sisters, are responsible for leading the way for the Black Swan. Ann noticed the strange attitudes of the sirens and wrote curious words. Master Captain, why do they look at you so strangely? "well" ??Xia En sighed: "Forget about this, let''s discuss the place where the ancient dragon is suspected to have fallen in the center of the archipelago." Xiange, what do you think? Let me take a look Xian Ge flew to the mast and looked towards the central island, her nostrils twitching slightly. It does have the smell of cologne, but it seems to be mixed with a lot of impurities. Hmph, in terms of blood purity, you cant compare to me! ??Xia En ignored the second half of the sentence as usual, his eyes shining slightly. After being certified by the Bronze Dragon String Song, the credibility of the name [Place of the Ancient Dragons Fall] has almost reached 99%. ?This is a great opportunity to collect materials! But at this moment, Xian Ge said again: "No... something is wrong!" Damn it! There is a secret power of blasphemy and pollution in this smell of dragons blood! Who dares to desecrate the ancient dragons corpse!? Its voice, as tender as a girl''s, was filled with strong anger for the first time, and the power of the dragon around it seemed to expand. Xia En frowned slightly: "What does blasphemy mean?" Xian Ge fell on the deck next to him and explained: "For us ancient dragons, peeling off the scales of the corpse, cutting off the flesh and blood, and picking off the bones is not considered sacrilege." After all, the weak eat the strong, and it is inevitable that the defeated will become the enemys spoils of war. Even in barbaric times, we would use the corpses of our own people as weapons against our enemies. But things are different on that island! Xiange looked at the island that was getting closer and closer, with anger in his eyes: "The secret power of pollution is trying to degenerate the ancient dragon into a crazy and deformed existence." Without a doubt, this is blasphemy against Him! Captain Shane, in the name of Bronze Dragon String Song Maya, I implore you to help him to be liberated. As he spoke, Xian Ge lowered his noble head and performed a ritual belonging to an ancient dragon with his claws and wings. Looking at Xiaolong, who was rarely serious, Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will do my best." ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Suddenly, water splashed on the sea near the Black Swan. A five- to six-meter-long jet-black strange fish suddenly emerged from the sea. ?Its majestic body surface is impressively covered with dragon-like scales, covered with dark green patches, and its sharp teeth flash coldly in the light. The next moment. ?The strange fish pounced on Lulu, the sea monster closest to it! (End of this chapter) Chapter 138 The polluted ancient dragon species, the last magic potion! Chapter 138 The polluted ancient dragon species, the last magic potion! simultaneously! Scarlet blood spilled on the sea, gradually turning the water red. ?However, the owner of the blood is not Lulu, who is regarded as prey, but a strange fish that emerges from the sea! The pair of siren sisters stared blankly in front of them. ?In their eyes, in the last second, the handsome and strong captain jumped into the air, and a big sword made of blood appeared out of thin air in his hand! ?With just one slash of the sword, the hideous and ugly fish was disembowelled and fell into the sea water. So fast! Men can be so strong... This Captain Shane, is he so powerful? The two sisters were a little surprised. ?On the Siren Islands, the sparse number of men is actually a protected and vulnerable group, and their main task is to be responsible for the continuation of the race. In the past, what attracted them more to Xia En was his handsome appearance and male identity. Until now, the Siren sisters have realized that in terms of strength, this captain is far superior to other men in the clan! With a "crash", Xia En also fell into the sea. Having the talent of [Seawater Control/Affinity], his water skills are certainly not bad. But he actually wants to master the ability to hang in the air or stand on the sea. Its not for anything else, just becauseits more handsome that way! Falling from mid-air into the sea, it was more or less embarrassing. At this moment, Shane suddenly missed the [Platinum Knight] named "Carles". The compatibility between them was indeed not bad. Captain Shane, thank you. The Siren sisters swam quietly from the sea, one after the other, dragging Xia En''s body closer to the shore. ?However, judging from their dishonest little hands, Xia En has reason to suspect that their purpose is not pure! Not long after, we arrived at the coast. Lulu also sent over the corpse of the strange fish just now. She said with lingering fear: "In recent years, there have been more and more mutated creatures on the Island of the Ancestors, and even the marine life in the nearby seawater has been polluted." My mother said that if we continue like this, maybe even us sea monsters will be affected. Hearing this, Xia En remotely controlled the [Black Swan] to dock while observing the alienated fish. ?Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this fish is abnormal. ?Thick scales and strange horn-like structures make it look less like a fish and more like a reptile or amphibian. The eyes of the wide-open dead fish were no longer round, but turned into strange vertical pupils. Looking at its cut body section, the shape and number of bones are also very different from those of fish. Under the body, there is foot cartilage that has not yet grown. Kill the evil dragon sea fish! Obtain trophy: Dragon Evil Sea Fish''s corpse Quality: Ordinary Type: Material Description: Sea fish contaminated by the blasphemous dragon''s blood. They cannot become real ancient dragons, and they have to bear the pollution of their bloodline, so they are called "dragon evils." This type of creature is extremely violent, angry, and extremely aggressive, and will instinctively hunt any creature that enters its territory. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? Dragon evil Xia En''s mind was filled with thoughts, and he chose to absorb them without much hesitation. Ship Soul Experience +0.1%! Unlock Talent: Dragon Body Quality: inferior Description: You have gained a little power of the ancient dragon! Your physique, strength, and speed have been slightly improved, and you have suppressed weaker creatures! It was detected that this effect partially overlaps with "The Majesty of the Bronze Dragon", so the two are merged! If you are a dragon, that''s fine too. The feeling of absorbing [Secret Sea Crystal] is slightly different from usual. ??This secret power flowing into Xia En''s body has a bit of scorching temperature, like an ironing warm current, rushing up and down the body. Physique +1! Strength +1! Speed ??+1! This is a direct enhancement of Shane''s body, so it does not increase the attributes of [Black Swan]. at the same time. An ancient, unwilling roar rang in Shane''s ears! ?In a daze, he saw, on the vast sea, among the strong winds and huge waves. A huge blue dragon covered in bruises was looking up at the clouds in the sky. ?There seemed to be some extremely terrifying existence hidden in the clouds, trying to impose its vast and majestic will on this ancient dragon. The howling wind and flashing thunder are like the wrath of heaven! ?However, facing this terrifying majesty, the ancient dragon flapped its wings again and again, launching a desperate charge towards the existence in the clouds. An angry roar echoed in the clouds. But after all, there is a big gap in strength between the ancient dragon and the enemy. In the charge after charge, the wounds on its body became more and more, and the injuries became more and more serious. The blood flowing out of the body dripped onto the sea surface, smearing it with a scarlet color. Finally, the body of the giant blue dragon landed weakly among the mountains of an island. Blood flows downward from high places, turning into **** streams that spread like a large net. ?Gradually, the ancient dragon fell into a deep sleep, and his body disappeared deep into the mountains. ??However, the creatures on the island have undergone strange transformations under the influence of dragon''s blood... Hoo! ?Xia En exhaled sharply, and the hallucinations in front of him quickly dissipated. That was just now Memories that remain deep in the dragons blood? ?Perhaps because of the effect of [Blood Power], Xia En can sometimes glimpse some past scenes from the blood. This tragic and spectacular battle undoubtedly revealed the reason why the ancient dragon was sleeping on this island. But what makes Shane curious is... What is the enemy fighting the ancient dragon in the clouds? Even if it was only fragmentary memory fragments, Xia En could clearly feel the power of the ancient dragon. It was a power that he could not compete with at this stage. But such a powerful ancient dragon still cannot shake the existence in the clouds. As his mind turned, Xia En came up with a bold guess. Could it be... thats a god?! Only gods can possess such vast and majestic power. But which **** is it? Why does Gu Long want to be his enemy? ?After all, this is just an unreal historical afterimage. Shane obviously cannot deduce much valuable information from the limited picture. ?However, he quickly noticed something else. ?After being seriously injured and falling into a dormant state, the ancient dragon did not actually die, and its blood did not seem to be contaminated or desecrated at that time. In other words, there is another person who blasphemed the ancient dragons bloodline! ??Moreover, the time is much later than when it was dormant. It is even possible that it was because of this act of blasphemy that the ancient dragon could not wake up from his long sleep and fell on this island forever. Captain Shane? Lulu''s soft voice brought Xia En back from his thoughts. She said apologetically: "The Island of the Ancestors is too dangerous. My sister and I have almost no combat capabilities on the shore, so we can only take you here." ?Shaan understood this: "This is enough." You just go back first. Well, Captain Shane, please be safe! Soon, the silhouettes of the Siren sisters gradually disappeared in the sea water. Lily looked back at Xia En on the shore and asked, "Sister, do you think they can reach their ancestral land?" After thinking about it, Lulu said: "If it were before, I don''t think there is much hope." But now, Captain Shane might really be able to bring us an unexpected surprise! Its a pity that last night Oh, I mean, I dont know how many years will it be until I meet such an outstanding man next time! Just when the Siren sisters were sighing. ??Xia En has already decided on the candidate for this deep dive into the island. ?Himself, Joey Chord Song. ?It is not difficult to see that even if it is docked on the coast, there may be dragon creatures attacking the [Black Swan]. To be on the safe side, let Fei Ya and An stay on the ship. By the way, Xia En did not waste the [Evil Dragon Sea Fish] he killed before and fed it directly to the steam turbine. Having the name of "Gluttony King", it has become a trash can that accepts all comers and eats whatever is available. Before the official departure. ?Xia En also didnt forget to spend the last [Crystal of Filth]. ?This exploration obviously won''t end in one day, and we can take advantage of this time to strengthen the hull of the ship that was not strengthened before. Sea Crystal Wood/Ghost Gold/Mithril Hull (+) Crystal of filth-109! Estimated strengthening time: 12 days! The reason why Shane did not strengthen [Phantom Storm Ray Sail] is simple. First of all, this is because this sail can no longer keep up with the attributes of the current [Black Swan], and the bonus it brings is not obvious. ?Shane planned to wait until he left the foggy sea to replace it. On the other hand, as one of the main parts of the ship''s hull, the [Filth Crystal] required for the ship''s hull is already relatively large. Putting all these [Filth Crystals] into it will probably bring about an extremely obvious transformation. After doing all this, Xia En took Joey and the chord song and headed into the depths of [Ancestor Island]. The vegetation on this island is very lush. ??Although it is not as huge as the trees on the Giant Island, the slightly dark red trunk and the vigorous branches and leaves can also show that this is not an ordinary wood. ?Shaan stretched out his hand and touched one of the tall trees. Palm trees infected with dragon''s blood Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: Trees infected with diluted dragon blood, the wood has undergone subtle changes. Can be used as low-level materials to strengthen the hull! This is also a good thing! ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. In the past, although this kind of wood was of some value, it took up too much space on the ship and could not be sold at a good price. It felt too low-grade to use it to modify the ship. It can be said that it is like tasteless food that is worth throwing away. But now, with the strengthening function of [Ship Heart], even low-level wood has its place. ?Thinking of this, Xia En glanced at the panel. Materials required for a single enhancement Timber already held: 68% Metals already held: 19% Proportion of extraordinary materials: 3% (the upper limit of this enhancement is 30%) Each attribute must exceed 50 before the next enhancement can be carried out! Since the last enhancement prioritized using up the extraordinary materials, there are not many extraordinary materials on Shanes ship and they are in urgent need of replenishment. Now it seems that there should be many unexpected gains on this island. But Xia En also knows that returns are often linked to risks. Not long after the group of people entered the jungle, several figures covered in scales and armor had quietly stared at them. Gahwu! Followed by several fierce and strange screams. ?Several upright monsters jumped down from the top of the woods and went straight to the backs of Shane and Joey. Dang! Xia En''s reaction was extremely fast. The moment the black shadow fell, the **** sword in his hand was already raised. To his surprise, the extremely sharp Blood Demonic Sword was unable to directly cut off anything it came into contact with. It only made a crisp sound of metal and stone intersecting. ?And Joey is far from the helpless girl she was before. After using defensive spells to block the attacks behind her, a faint blue halo flashed in her eyes. ??A blue beam of light emerged in mid-air and pierced into the attacker''s eyes. While the blood was flying, Xia En was able to see clearly the appearance of his enemy. ??This is a humanoid creature over two meters tall. They have a layer of scales and hair growing on their bodies, vaguely revealing strong muscle curves. They also have human-like palms, except that each finger has sharp claws, but in the palm of the hand, they hold a dark, dagger-like weapon. Half-dragon?! This is Xia Ens first impression of this monster. ?But when he took a closer look at their weird standing posture and the not-too-thick tail behind them, he suddenly realized. No, this is an ape transformed into a dragon! Obviously, there once was a group of normal monkeys on this island, but they became what they are today after being infected by the dragon''s blood. ?Thinking about thinking, Xia En''s movements did not pause at all. ?His figure swayed slightly, and his sword slashed forward. The terrifying force poured out, easily tearing apart the monkey monster''s flesh and blood. After the hull and components were upgraded again, Shane''s stats once again soared to a terrifying level. ?Although the physical fitness of this group of monkey monsters has far exceeded that of ordinary first-level mystics, and even approaches the category of second-level mystics. But in front of Xia En, he could only be crushed and swept away! ?This is the charm of numerical values! Roar! ?At this moment, Xian Ge not far away let out a low roar. ?This voice cannot be called loud, and is even a bit deep and depressing, but it contains indescribable majesty and pride. At the moment when the growl spreads. ?Several dragon-turned-monkey monsters suddenly trembled all over, their hairs stood on end, and a mixture of fear and fear flashed through their vertical pupils, looking at the seemingly petite Xian Ge in fear. How can they withstand the majesty of the superior ancient dragon? At this moment, Xia En also recalled the scene when Xian Ge broke out of his shell. Even facing two giant dragons, he was not afraid at all, but resolutely showed his presence. The main reason is that Xian Ge is usually so embarrassing that Xia En forgets that it actually has such a side. ??While the monkeys are frightened by the dragon''s power. ?Shane and Joey took action decisively without hesitation. ?In just a moment, several of the attacking monkey monsters were killed. This group of monkey monsters also exploded [Secret Sea Crystals], which together only increased the Ship Soul''s experience value by 2%. This increase made the corner of Xia En''s mouth twitch slightly. ?After the ship spirit level reaches LV4, the experience provided by low-level monsters becomes increasingly pitiful and can only be described as better than nothing. At this time, Xian Ge flew to Xia En and enthusiastically asked for credit. Captain, I did a good job, didnt I? Xia En nodded and said, "It''s really not bad." Hmph, Im a great bronze dragon. Dont take it easy to suppress low-level fish like this! Xiange said triumphantly, her little tail almost raised to the sky. ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. ??Every time he wanted to give Xian Ge a little respect, the little dragon would speak. Soon, Xia Ens eyes fell on the weapons dropped by the dragon-turned-monkey monsters. ??He felt inexplicably familiar with this pitch-black material. As soon as you reach out and touch it, several lines of information will appear. Crude black stone dagger Quality: Ordinary Type: Weapon Description: A dagger roughly polished from black stone ore, it only has the original characteristics of black stone. Black stone dagger black stone?! Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. He is not unfamiliar with this material. When he first faced the pirate [Blood Wolf], he relied on a black stone dagger to complete the hunt in the sea. For quite some time, it was a very useful weapon. ?Only later, as Xia En''s strength gradually improved, the black stone dagger gradually couldn''t keep up with his fighting, and it was left idle. ?At this time, what Xia En cared about was not the black stone dagger itself. Since the monkey monsters are using black stone daggers, it means that there is very likely to be a black stone vein on this island! ?The last potion material that Xia En needs - [Black Stone Essence], is the material born from the black stone veins. These days. As Xia En cleaned up the palace, the progress greatly accelerated. The sea tribesmen in the Coral City are also very smart. They have collected various potion materials, and even found another main ingredient [Celestial Star Sea Star]. Including [Crimson Reality] which can replace [Nether Sea Clam Blood]. ?The only thing Xia En lacks now is [Black Stone Essence]! At the moment, the black stone daggers in the hands of these monkey monsters undoubtedly gave him hope. After a few more dives, the career compatibility is almost full. As long as you find the [Black Stone Essence], you can start trying to get promoted! ?Xia Ens heart was beating fast, and a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes. ?After the hull upgrade, the [Black Swan] no longer has no chance of winning against the [Blood Duke] fleet. But dont forget, once a naval battle cannot be decided, the captains combat power will determine success or failure! And the owner of Duke Island, Duke Nova, is surprisingly a third-level secret wayfarer! At the same level as Quinn from Silver Moon Island. ?This time, without the help of Carles, the only person Shane can rely on is himself. So, he must break through to the third level before leaving the foggy sea area! Looking at the dead monkey monsters around him, Xia En felt a little regretful. I would have left one or two here to see if I could ask for directions. However, since this is the territory of the monkey monsters, there must be more than just a few of them ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately took Joey and Fei Ya to search around. ?This search soon yielded results. With the help of [Blood Sense], Xia En quickly found a lone monkey monster. ?This time, he did not use Xian Ge, but walked to the monkey monster by himself, and a faint dragon''s power escaped. Ouch! ?Seeing Xia En approaching, the monkey monster, which had a strong desire to attack just a second ago, let out a strange cry, tremblingly knelt down, and lowered its head on the ground. ?This seems to be a way for the monkey monster to express its submission. ?! Xian Ge on the side suddenly opened his eyes wide, filled with disbelief, and said to himself in shock. How come there is dragon power in the captain? And its so similar to mine? "Wait a minute...I thought before that the captain''s body seemed to be different from that of an ordinary human being. Could it be that he is actually a dragon?" This, this isnt right... Xia En, however, didn''t care what Xian Ge was thinking in his heart. He threw the black stone dagger in front of the monkey monster and spoke as briefly as possible. Take me to the place where this stone was dug. Gah woo, ga woo! After repeating it two or three times and communicating with some gestures, the dragon-monkey monster seemed to barely understand what he meant, stood up, and started running towards a mountain range on the island. Xia En followed decisively. After a moment, a valley between mountains came into his view. ??The rocks here are gray-black with fine holes, and on the rock formations, there are several black stones directly exposed to the air. Obviously, this is where the black stone veins are located. ) At this time, the monkey monster looked in a direction not far away and called out in a low voice. The voice sounded wary and frightened. Xia En followed its gaze and soon saw a dark giant beast hidden in the gray-black rock wall. ?Its body is more than ten meters long, with a black stone-like carapace on its back. The corners of its four legs are extremely clear and sharp, and there is a drill-like horn on the top of its head. It is a bit like a giant turtle, with some characteristics of an ancient dragon. This is a real behemoth! Even if Xia En transforms into a giant, his size may not be comparable to this giant beast. The only good news is that the giant tortoise is in a deep sleep at this time. ?Only the carapace on its body that complements the surrounding black stones proves that it is always aware and vigilant of the outside world. Captain, be careful. Xian Ge''s eyes also showed solemnity: "This big guy may be a real ancient dragon species!" Ancient dragon species? Xia En asked in a low voice: "What is the difference between it and other creatures contaminated by dragon blood?" The meaning of the ancient dragon species is that it is a creature that is born after an ancient dragon has mated with other creatures. The blood of the ancient dragon naturally flows in its body, unlike those creatures that are contaminated later in life. Xiange explained: "Although this dragon turtle is not a descendant of the first generation, the concentration of dragon blood in its body is not low, so be careful." "However, judging from its breath, it seems to have been contaminated by blasphemy." After hearing these words, Xia En suddenly understood. Simply put, it is the difference between nature and nurture. ?This big guy is obviously not easy to mess with, but Xia Ens intuition told him that the [Black Stone Essence] he needed was in the veins under the ancient dragon seed! In this way, the answer to whether or not to take action is already clear. ?Xia En took a deep breath and looked at the sleeping giant turtle. Thats just right, lets use you to test my improved strength! (End of this chapter) Chapter 140 Gu Longs heart, Joeys bloodline transformation! Chapter 140 Gu Longs heart, Joeys bloodline transformation! After solving the dragon turtle guarding the black stone vein, the process of obtaining the [Black Stone Essence] became extremely smooth. Not long after, Xia En filled a bottle of [Black Stone Essence]. Unlike solid black stone, the [Black Stone Essence] located at the core of the vein is actually a viscous, pitch-black liquid with a deep luster. ?This kind of potion material is actually escaping the secret power that dries up living things every moment. Hence, special containers must be used to hold them. Fortunately, Xia En had made preparations beforehand and asked for the isolation stone bottle from the Queen of the Sea Tribe, which happened to be used at this moment. Looking at the [Crimson Reality] in the [Ring of Apocalypse], the bottled [Black Stone Essence], and the [Celestial Star Sea Star] in the box. ?Xia En couldn''t hide the excitement in his heart, and raised the corners of his mouth. Finally, I got together the magic potion to advance to the third level. Next, as long as the career compatibility is maxed out, you can try to get promoted! Isnt this the guy I just let go? ?With his strength, there is no big problem in dealing with these dragon-turned-monkey monsters. It is better to see what the opponent wants to do. Calculating the time, it should take another three or four days. The monkey monster nodded heavily and looked at Xia En with awe and expectation. Wait a minute, you want to invite me to be the king of your tribe? ?Some monkey monsters even knelt down beside him, showing respect and worship. ?Shaan had a strange expression. Is this big guy a scourge to your tribe? ? ? Primitive tribes like them have always followed the rule that the strong is king. ??He has not forgotten that he just killed a group of monkey monsters not long ago, and he doesn''t know whether these guys didn''t know or didn''t care. It is naturally perfect to be the king of the ethnic group. On the offshore island, the Archon of an island is only the third level. From this, we can also see the status of the third level Mystic. ?Xia En has already reached the threshold of the third level in less than half a year since he traveled through time. ??Just when he was about to go on a killing spree to earn some experience points, he discovered that the leader of the monkey monster seemed a bit familiar. After making the plan, Xia En walked out of the depths of the mine, only to see several monkey monsters standing on both sides of the valley looking at him. You have to send your fellow tribesmen as sacrifices every once in a while, otherwise it will attack your territory? After hesitating for a moment, Xia En still did not take action directly. Judging from their attitude, not only is there not much hostility, but there is also a sense of gratitude? ?Seeing the arrival of the outsiders, the monkey monsters poked their heads out from the branches and looked curiously at the combination of two people and one dragon. This is a very primitive village. The monkey monsters live in wooden houses built in the trees. The furnishings in the village are quite simple, but at least there are some prototypes of primitive tools. Xia En thought they were here to seek revenge. Gahwu! ??If this kind of deeds spread, I dont know how many people would be shocked. At this time, the leading monkey monster noticed their presence. After a strange cry, it ran over on all fours. Take advantage of this period of time to explore this island again and let Joey complete the transformation of his bloodline. ?Shaan protected Joey Hexiange behind him and looked at the monkey monsters with some vigilance. Gah woo woo! ?But the monkey monsters showed such an attitude that it was hard for him to kill them. GahwuGahwu! ?However, Xia En has always been merciless when dealing with enemies who actively attack him. "Um?" Soon, Xia En rejected the request to become the Monkey King. But whether it was the coercion he exuded or his record of killing the terrifying dragon turtle, it was enough to prove how powerful the opponent was. After a rather difficult exchange, Xia En finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. After arriving at Xia En, the monkey monster pointed at the dragon turtle corpse not far away, then pointed at Xia En, and started dancing and shouting. ??Although I dont know why the people of the same species in front of me dont have scales or long hair. ?Hence, other monkey monsters also rushed over, jumping and screaming around Xia En. But under the kind invitation of the monkey monsters, a group of people came to the territory where they live. No wonder Xia En is a little excited and looking forward to it. Does it want revenge, or... After all, that is a third-level secret path user! The third-level secret path masters are considered to be powerful men with a strong reputation in Qihai. ??The monkey monster that led the way earlier called out to his fellow humans a few times, as if explaining the situation to them. Subsequently, the other monkeys also shouted in surprise, looking at Xia En with awe and gratitude in their eyes. ?Some monkey monsters also took out the picked wild fruits and presented them to Xia En. It was only then that Xia En realized that this group of monkey monsters did not seem to be the same group of monkey monsters that attacked him before? They are not that aggressive, their character is not too violent, and they can even conduct simple communication. "How is this going?" ?Xia En was a little surprised. Judging from the description of the previous trophies, creatures contaminated by the blood of the profane dragon will become manic and irritable. Not only do they have strong hostility towards outsiders, but they also fight among themselves. ?The behavior of these dragon-turned-monkey monsters is obviously abnormal. At this moment, Joey''s eyes suddenly fell in one direction of the village, he raised his finger and pointed there, and said in surprise. Mr. Captain, look, look! Xia En looked along her fingertips. I saw a small pond with crystal clear water hidden among the dense vegetation. In the pond, there stands a statue as tall as one person! ??The statue is obviously carved of a woman. She has a graceful figure, her head is covered with gauze, and a long skirt depicting many wave ripples hangs down. ??Although the surface of the statue has been mottled and worn by the years, there are still many fine cracks. She still has an indescribable sense of sanctity and presence. ?As long as you look at the statue, you can feel a vague feeling of being washed and sheltered. This is...the Storm Goddess Statue?! Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. He once got a small statue of the goddess, so he could see the true identity of the statue at a glance. ?However, Xia En also quickly discerned that there was one obvious difference between this and the Storm Goddess statue in his impression - The lower body of the goddess statue does not have human feet. But a scaly fish tail like a siren! Sure enough, the storm goddesss siren theory is not groundless, but most likely the truth! ?Seeing this scene, Xia En''s thoughts started to spin rapidly. Perhaps in the earliest times, the statues of the Storm Goddess were all in this state of human body and fish tail. And the later ones...may be believers of the Deep Sea Church, or they may be other forces. In order to cover up the truth of history, they changed the statue to its current appearance. ?It is not difficult to guess that the reason why the dragon-turned-monkey monsters of this tribe did not become violent like other creatures on the island is precisely because of the protection of this goddess statue. But the problem is Why does this statue of God appear here? Xia En looked at the smartest monkey monster from before, pointed at the statue of the Storm Goddess, and tried hard to express his meaning. Karma? In the end, I dont know if the monkey monster understood it. It thought for a moment, seemed to have made some determination, turned around and walked towards the forest. ?Shane did not hesitate and followed behind the monkey monster with Joey and the song. This time, the monkey monster was extremely cautious when leading the way, as if he was afraid of disturbing some powerful being. ? And Xia En soon discovered that the route they were taking was exactly the direction going deep into the island. The surrounding woods are becoming denser and taller. ?The mountain road at the foot became steeper and seemed a bit rugged. ?Several existences with powerful auras were wandering and patrolling in the mountains and forests not far away, exuding a faint pressure. at the same time. Even Xia En could smell it. There was an old, rusty smell of blood in the air. ?This **** smell contains the secret power of the ancient dragon, but there is also a weird and evil feeling that makes people instinctively feel uncomfortable. ?After seeing the corpse of a dragon turtle covered with [Eyes of Truth], Xia En already understood that this feeling of discomfort came from the so-called "blasphemy of truth." Where does this little monkey want to take us? ??Xia En frowned slightly, but out of trust in the monkey monster''s previous actions, he still chose to continue to follow. ?Strangely, although the powerful aura not far away from the forest continued to increase, the group of people miraculously escaped being attacked. ?Shaan guessed that this was related to the path chosen by the monkey monster. ??This forest path leading to the high mountains seems to be located exactly at the border of the territory of dragon evil creatures. ?These creatures were afraid of and wary of each other, so they did not attack Xia En and others. In other words, only the local monkey monster can lead the way to know such a "safe passage." ??If it were Xia En who was exploring on his own, he would probably have to fight his way out. We walked through the mountains and forests for an hour. Xia En and others were already at the high point of the mountain range. Looking back, they could see the dense woods below them. ??If it were not blocked by the fog, I might even be able to see the [Black Swan] on the coast. At this time, everyone has reached the end of the mountain road. Xia En looked forward intently. In front, is a platform on the top of the mountain. The center of the platform is sunken downwards, forming a wide lake. This kind of topography is quite similar to Tianchi in the previous life. However, unlike Tianchi, the color of this lake is dark red! Everything you see is blood that smells like blood! Woo woo When he came here, the monkey monster seemed to feel discomfort and fear instinctively. His body trembled slightly and pointed in the direction of the center of the lake. ?Xia En looked up, his breathing stagnating slightly. ??In the **** lake, a huge dragon-shaped skeleton was standing there. Even though there was no flesh and blood, even though it had been dead for a long time, the moment he saw it, Xia En still felt a kind of coercion coming from the depths of his blood. ?In a daze, he seemed to see a terrifying giant dragon, staring at him with its cold vertical pupils, and making an earth-shattering roar! Roar! Suddenly, a childish but equally majestic dragon roar sounded, dispersing the illusion in front of Xia En''s eyes. ?He turned around and saw Xian Ge, who was usually unreliable, suspended in mid-air, with his wings flapping slightly. ?The scales on its body shimmered with a faint brilliance, as if it were covered with a layer of magical armor, and the ancient power was revealed on its body. ?Those eyes seemed to be burning with bronze flames, and they expanded with a majesty that was not inferior to the bones of ancient dragons. A fellow member of the same clan that I have never met before, I am the bronze dragon, Xiange Maya! Come to free you! ?Perhaps it was Gu Longs remaining consciousness that understood Xian Ges words. ??Perhaps it was the dragon power of Xian Ge that overwhelmed the corpse, and Xia En and Joey suddenly felt that the pressure was relieved. At this time, Xia En could also see that there were statues of the Storm Goddess one after another in the **** lake. Some of them were lying horizontally in the lake, and some were leaning forward. Some bodies were broken into pieces of stone, while others still maintained their intact form. ?So many broken statues of gods add an indescribably weird atmosphere to this blood lake, like a solemn cemetery or the scene of some evil ritual. Obviously, the goddess statue in the monkey tribe came from this **** lake. But the problem is still the same. Why do these statues of gods exist here? Mr. Captain. Suddenly, Joey on the side frowned slightly, and said hesitantly and confusedly. I heard... something was calling me in the center of the lake. "Um?" ?Xia En frowned slightly. ??He noticed that the aura on Joey''s body was a little restless, and the secret power in his body was slightly escaping. ? ? Observe carefully, there is a faint blue halo flowing in the girl''s red pupils, and some scales emerge from her body surface. Xia En suddenly realized: "This **** lake is the ancestral land mentioned by the sea monsters!" ?The numerous Storm Goddess statues here may also be related to the ancestor of the Sirens! As for the blood in the lake, it comes from the ancient dragon that died here. But the ancient dragon happened to fall in the ancestral land of the Kraken. Is this really just a simple coincidence? Shane had his doubts. But now that we are all here, there is no reason to retreat. ?After stopping for a moment, Xia En watched the monkey monster disappear, and then cautiously moved toward the depths of the lake. ??The water of the Bloody Lake is not deep, but it is unrealistic to walk across it on foot. Xia En simply used the [Blood Shaping Secret Technique] of [Blood Power] to shape a medium-sized blood raft, and then rowed it towards the center of the lake. ?Being on the blood lake, Xia En could more clearly sense the filthy smell of blasphemy. ??If he guessed correctly, it was the water from this blood lake that flowed down the mountain and polluted the water sources of nearby mountains, causing the creatures on the island to mutate. In fact, there are many dangerous dragon-shaped creatures hidden not only under the mountains, but also in the blood lake. ?Xia En could sense that there were many malicious peeks coming from all directions. But this time, Xian Ge was reliable for the first time in a long time. The majesty of the ancient dragon exudes, making those dragon-shaped creatures dare not approach. Not long after, they arrived on the raft to the middle of the lake, where there was a small platform. A particularly tall goddess statue is located on a high platform. From her body, there was deep red blood dripping down the hem of her skirt and falling into the lake below. ?That blood comes from the palm of the goddess statue. ?There, lying a huge, still beating heart! "This is?" Xia En was shocked, but he hadn''t yet figured out the reason behind it. next moment. Joey beside him had already walked under the statue of the goddess, and the illusive and vague sound of the waves came from very far away. A sacred, non-mortal gaze fell on the girl! (End of this chapter) Chapter 140 Gu Longs heart, Joeys bloodline transformation! Chapter 140 Gu Longs heart, Joeys bloodline transformation! After solving the dragon turtle guarding the black stone vein, the process of obtaining the [Black Stone Essence] became extremely smooth. Not long after, Xia En filled a bottle of [Black Stone Essence]. Unlike solid black stone, the [Black Stone Essence] located at the core of the vein is actually a viscous, pitch-black liquid with a deep luster. ?This kind of potion material is actually escaping the secret power that dries up living things every moment.

I saw a small pond with crystal clear water hidden among the dense vegetation. In the pond, there stands a statue as tall as one person! ??The statue is clearly carved of a woman. She has a graceful figure, her head is covered with gauze, and a long skirt depicting many wave ripples hangs down. ??Although the surface of the statue has been mottled and worn by the years, there are still many fine cracks. She still has an indescribable sense of sanctity and presence. ?As long as you look at the statue, you can feel a vague feeling of being washed and sheltered. This is...the Storm Goddess Statue?! Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. He once got a small statue of the goddess, so he could see the true identity of the statue at a glance. ?However, Xia En also quickly discerned that there was one obvious difference between this and the Storm Goddess statue in his impression - The lower body of the goddess statue does not have human feet. But a scaly fish tail like a siren! Sure enough, the storm goddesss siren theory is not groundless, but most likely the truth! ?Seeing this scene, Xia En''s thoughts started to spin rapidly. Perhaps in the earliest times, the statues of the Storm Goddess were all in this state of human body and fish tail. And the later ones...may be believers of the Deep Sea Church, or they may be other forces. In order to cover up the truth of history, they changed the statue to its current appearance. ?It is not difficult to guess that the reason why the dragon-turned-monkey monsters of this tribe did not become violent like other creatures on the island is precisely because of the protection of this goddess statue. But the problem is Why does this statue of God appear here? Xia En looked at the smartest monkey monster from before, pointed at the statue of the Storm Goddess, and tried hard to express what he meant. Karma? In the end, I dont know if the monkey monster understood it. It thought for a moment, seemed to have made some determination, turned around and walked towards the forest. ?Shane did not hesitate and followed behind the monkey monster with Joey and the song. This time, the monkey monster was extremely cautious when leading the way, as if he was afraid of disturbing some powerful being. ? And Xia En soon discovered that the route they were taking was exactly the direction going deep into the island. The surrounding woods are becoming denser and taller. ?The mountain road at the foot became steeper and seemed a bit rugged. ?Several existences with powerful auras were wandering and patrolling in the mountains and forests not far away, exuding a faint pressure. at the same time. Even Xia En could smell it. There was an old, rusty smell of blood in the air. ?This **** smell contains the secret power of the ancient dragon, but there is also a weird and evil feeling that makes people instinctively feel uncomfortable. ?After seeing the corpse of a dragon turtle covered with [Eyes of Truth], Xia En already understood that this feeling of discomfort came from the so-called "blasphemy of truth." Where does this little monkey want to take us? ?Xia En frowned slightly, but out of trust in the monkey monster''s previous actions, he still chose to continue to follow. ?Strangely, although the powerful aura not far away from the forest continued to increase, the group of people miraculously escaped being attacked. ?Shaan guessed that this was related to the path chosen by the monkey monster. ??This forest path leading to the high mountains seems to be located exactly at the border of the territory of dragon evil creatures. ?These creatures were afraid of and wary of each other, so they did not attack Xia En and others. In other words, only the local monkey monster can lead the way to know such a "safe passage." ??If it were Xia En who was exploring on his own, he would probably have to fight his way out. We walked through the mountains and forests for an hour. Xia En and others were already at the high point of the mountain range. Looking back, they could see the dense woods below them. ??If it were not blocked by the fog, I might even be able to see the [Black Swan] on the coast. At this time, everyone has reached the end of the mountain road. Xia En looked forward intently. In front, is a platform on the top of the mountain. The center of the platform is sunken downwards, forming a wide lake. This kind of topography is quite similar to Tianchi in the previous life. However, unlike Tianchi, the color of this lake is dark red! Everything you see is blood that smells like blood! Woo woo When he came here, the monkey monster seemed to feel discomfort and fear instinctively. His body trembled slightly and pointed in the direction of the center of the lake. ?Xia En looked up, his breathing stagnating slightly. ??In the **** lake, a huge dragon-shaped skeleton was standing there. Even though there was no flesh and blood, even though it had been dead for a long time, the moment he saw it, Xia En still felt a kind of coercion coming from the depths of his blood. ?In a daze, he seemed to see a terrifying giant dragon, staring at him with its cold vertical pupils, and making an earth-shattering roar! Roar! Suddenly, a childish but equally majestic dragon roar sounded, dispersing the illusion in front of Xia En''s eyes. ?He turned around and saw Xian Ge, who was usually unreliable, suspended in mid-air, with his wings flapping slightly. ?The scales on its body shimmered with a faint brilliance, as if it were covered with a layer of magical armor, and the ancient power was revealed on its body. ?Those eyes seemed to be burning with bronze flames, and they expanded with a majesty that was not inferior to the bones of ancient dragons. A fellow member of the same clan that I have never met before, I am the bronze dragon, Xiange Maya! Come to free you! ?Perhaps it was Gu Longs remaining consciousness that understood Xian Ges words. ??Perhaps it was the dragon power of Xian Ge that overwhelmed the corpse, and Xia En and Joey suddenly felt that the pressure was relieved. At this time, Xia En could also see that there were statues of the Storm Goddess one after another in the **** lake. Some of them were lying horizontally in the lake, and some were leaning forward. Some bodies were broken into pieces of stone, while others still maintained their intact form. ?So many broken statues of gods add an indescribably weird atmosphere to this blood lake, like a solemn cemetery or the scene of some evil ritual. Obviously, the goddess statue in the monkey tribe came from this **** lake. But the problem is still the same. Why do these statues of gods exist here? Mr. Captain. Suddenly, Joey on the side frowned slightly, and said hesitantly and confusedly. I heard... something was calling me in the center of the lake. "Um?" ?Xia En frowned slightly. ??He noticed that the aura on Joey''s body was a little restless, and the secret power in his body was slightly escaping. ? ? Observe carefully, there is a faint blue halo flowing in the girl''s red pupils, and some scales emerge from her body surface. Xia En suddenly realized: "This **** lake is the ancestral land mentioned by the sea monsters!" ?The numerous Storm Goddess statues here may also be related to the ancestor of the Sirens! As for the blood in the lake, it comes from the ancient dragon that died here. But the ancient dragon happened to fall in the ancestral land of the Kraken. Is this really just a simple coincidence? Shane had his doubts. But now that we are all here, there is no reason to retreat. ?After stopping for a moment, Xia En watched the monkey monster disappear, and then cautiously moved toward the depths of the lake. ??The water of the Bloody Lake is not deep, but it is unrealistic to walk across it on foot. Xia En simply used the [Blood Shaping Secret Technique] of [Blood Power] to shape a medium-sized blood raft, and then rowed it towards the center of the lake. ?Being on the blood lake, Xia En could more clearly sense the filthy smell of blasphemy. ??If he guessed correctly, it was the water from this blood lake that flowed down the mountain and polluted the water sources in the nearby mountains, causing the creatures on the island to mutate. In fact, there are many dangerous dragon-shaped creatures hidden not only under the mountains, but also in the blood lake. ?Xia En could sense that there were many malicious peeks coming from all directions. But this time, Xian Ge was reliable for the first time in a long time. The majesty of the ancient dragon exudes, making those dragon-shaped creatures dare not approach. Not long after, they arrived on the raft to the middle of the lake, where there was a small platform. A particularly tall goddess statue is located on a high platform. From her body, there was deep red blood dripping down the hem of her skirt and falling into the lake below. ?That blood comes from the palm of the goddess statue. ?There, lying a huge, still beating heart! "This is?" Xia En was shocked, but he hadn''t yet figured out the reason behind it. The next moment. Joey beside him had already walked under the statue of the goddess, and the illusive and vague sound of the waves came from a very far distance. A sacred, non-mortal gaze fell on the girl! (End of this chapter) Chapter 141 Bath in dragon blood together! Blessing from the Storm Goddess! Chapter 141 Bathing in the dragons blood together! Blessing from the Storm Goddess! In front of the mermaid-like goddess statue. The gentle sound of the waves sounded, as if it echoed directly in Xia En''s mind. ??Xia En felt that the air around him was gradually becoming moist, and even a salty smell came from the tip of his nose. ??But what he was more concerned about than these visions was Joey''s current state! ?Xia En immediately looked at the girl with silver hair and red eyes in front of him. At this time, Joey was staring blankly at the goddess statue flowing with dragon blood. He couldn''t help but fold his hands and make a gesture similar to praying. Suddenly, a strange transformation occurred from the depths of her bloodline. It quickly affected the girls whole body! ?Her back became straight and straight, and her skin became white, clean and elastic, as smooth as an egg. ?The dull pigmentation and small freckles that were exposed to the wind and sun at sea, as well as the cocoons left by doing various chores and practicing swordsmanship, all disappeared under the wash of the secret power. Some hidden wounds and hidden diseases left in the body are all cured by it. Hair, which was already snow-white, had a bright silver sheen. ?Those beautiful red eyes became bright, like exquisite and precious gems. ??If the previous Joey could be described as a "rare beautiful girl", then now, her appearance even has a hint of perfection. Its not just that. ??The aura of secret power deep in Joey''s body also slowly climbed up like ocean waves. Soon, her lower body legs turned into pure white jade mermaid tails. ?In those dazzling white scales, there is also an unspeakable secret power flowing. ?However, what frightened Xia En the most was the sacred and quiet temperament that enveloped Joey. Because this temperament should not belong to mortals, but to the divinity of gods! ?At this time, Xia En looked at Joey''s face again and felt that she was somewhat similar to the goddess statue above. "this" ??Xia En''s expression changed several times, and he didn''t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. ?At the same time, several lines of information appear on the panel. Your crew member "Joy" received the "Blessing of the Storm Goddess"! The (special) power of the Siren bloodline is awakening... Interrupting this process will cause irreversible damage to the crew! A blessing from the goddess? After reading these tips, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. As the most famous righteous **** on the Seven Seas, the name of the Storm Goddess is quite credible. ?In addition, Joey seemed to be transforming into a stronger and more perfect person, so he gave up the idea of ??stopping this change. However, is this a blessing that all sea monsters receive when they transform? Or is it because of... Joeys special characteristics? ?Xia En rubbed his chin and thought. ??Whether it is [Siren] captain Alyssa, clan leader Natasha, or the prompts on the panel, they have repeatedly explained the extraordinary nature of Joeys bloodline. ?If you think about it carefully, you can easily think of Joeys mother, Diana, the genius of the Siren clan. ?On the other hand, Joeys father is most likely not an ordinary person. ?And Joeys appearance with white hair and red eyes ?Shaan originally thought this was just some kind of ordinary alienation, or a disease like "albinism". But now it seems that it is inseparable from her bloodline. Just when Joey''s aura gradually became stronger. ?High up, the heart in the palm of the goddess statue suddenly made a particularly dull sound. ! Boom! Boom! ?Gradually, the black air of filth and blasphemy floated out from the heart, and was erased and purified under the sacred breath of the goddess statue. Before his death, my compatriot made a right decision in order to preserve his last dignity. Seeing this scene, Xian Ge lamented: "It wants to use the power of the Storm Goddess to eliminate the pollution of blasphemy." Its just that no one has worshiped the goddess statue here, so the goddesss power naturally cannot come. To this day, Joeys bloodline triggered the response of the idol, and this pollution can finally be purified. After listening to Xian Ges words, Xia En finally understood the whole story and sighed. An ancient dragon deserves to be called an ancient dragon. Even if his body has been dead for so long, his heart can still maintain such activity. Humph, isnt that right? But this ancient dragon is just a blue dragon. Compared with the great bronze dragon clan, it is still far behind..." ?Seeing that Xian Ge''s little tail was about to rise to the sky again, Xia En suddenly frowned, and a strong warning came to his heart. He quickly noticed the changes in the atmosphere nearby and looked around the **** lake. The figures of some giant objects began to loom in the mist on the lake. ifier ?Xianges face, which was still triumphant just a second ago, changed slightly. No, other existences polluted by blasphemy will definitely not allow [Heart of the Ancient Dragon] to be purified. This is their instinct, and it is also the backhand left by the polluters! ?Xia En turned around and glanced at Joey in front of the statue of the goddess. Obviously, her transformation has just begun and is far from over. The description on the panel also shows that this state cannot be interrupted. Good guy, you are waiting for me here! Xia En realized the danger of the situation at this time, but his mood was unexpectedly calm. He understood early on that opportunities and dangers always coexist. Since there is no way to avoid it, the only option is to face it head-on! Xia En pulled out the Blood Demon Sword and plunged the big sword into the **** lake. The gurgling blood began to flow into the big sword, making it larger, stronger, and sharper. Indistinctly, it brought with it the glorious power of the dragon. ?Although it is not the blood of a vampire, the effect of the ancient dragon''s blood shouldn''t be much different, right? Roar ?With a huge roar that shook the sky and a splash of water, a giant beast transformed into a dragon emerged from the lake and rushed towards it with a fierce momentum! ??Joy felt like he was having a dream. A long, long dream. She dreamed that she was back as a baby. She was born in a huge, empty white room. All kinds of people passed by her bed every day, but from the eyes of those people, she could only see fear, wariness and scrutiny. As if she was not a newborn baby, but some kind of terrifying monster, or a useful tool. They spoke words such as "vessel", "failure" and "divinity" that she could not understand. ?Among the people who passed by the bed, only two were special. One of them is a beautiful woman who always has a gentle smile. Women always hug themselves and hum some ancient but beautiful songs. The wind is blowing, its raining No need to be afraid, no need to panic Wind and waves are our cradle, and the sea is our hotbed Whenever she heard that kind of singing, she would feel warm and happy from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn''t help but smile. The other one is a man wearing a monocle. Men''s expressions are usually cold and unsmiling, somewhat similar to those cold strangers. But when a mans eyes fall on a woman and her, he will bring with him a deep hidden tenderness. ?That kind of tenderness seems to melt even the eternal ice. She grew up day by day in the white room like this. ??From time to time, various tests are performed, such as measuring height and weight, and using a brass-shaped needle to draw blood from the body... ?Although these tests were scary, she gradually adapted to this life with the company of men and women. There seemed to be other children in other rooms. But she had never met those children even once. This life lasted for several years. ?But suddenly one day, a man wearing a mask came to her and fed her a special magic potion without any explanation. Subsequently, she fell into a protracted fever. ?In the drowsiness, she vaguely noticed that a fierce quarrel broke out between the man and the woman, and seemed to have a conflict with other people in the white room. ?This high fever lasted for an unknown period of time. Her consciousness and memory became messy and fragmented under the high temperature. Until one day. She opened her eyes and saw the gentle woman hugging her and running in the dark tunnel. The men guard them, like a silent mountain. Behind him, there seemed to be many chasing figures. Soon, the man stopped and faced the hungry wolf-like pursuers, buying time for them to escape. ?However, the number of pursuers was too great and they came from all directions. After escaping to the end of the tunnel, there was only an underground river leading to an unknown direction. After hesitating for a long time, the woman put her into the underground river, with an extremely sad expression on her face and whispered. Joy, my boy. "May the goddess cast her gaze on you three times, so that your blood will always be inspired, your courage will never fade, and your will will never surrender..." We will meet again in the storm of our hometown. ?Subsequently, amid the familiar song, she gradually sank into the river, transformed into a mermaid, and left along the current. No need to be afraid, no need to panic Wind and waves are our cradle, and the sea is our hotbed After that, she followed the underground river and came to the vast ocean. But this does not mean that she is safe. There were many terrible predators in the ocean, and they cast greedy and malicious glances at her. ?Those cold sharp teeth passed by her more than once, and every time, she seemed to fall into the arms of death. But perhaps it was a miracle, or perhaps she was protected by some existence. There was always a barrier between her and death that seemed very close but unreachable. Out of the instinct to survive, she swam in the sea with all her strength, trying to find a place to stay. Finally, she encountered a ship and met an older but kind captain... Gradually, the images in memory overlapped with reality. The blurred vision gradually became clear, and a figure holding a big sword was reflected in Joey''s pupils. ?His body was covered in bruises, his face was pale, his breath was weak, and there was a huge claw mark on his back. But his back was still straight. At his feet, there were corpses of giant beasts transformed into dragons one after another. They piled up into a hill in the **** lake. ?Those broken bones, broken limbs, and torn flesh are enough to show what a brutal battle this place experienced not long ago. ??A majestic aura that seemed to intimidate all things lingered around the man on the mountain of bones, making Joey unable to look away for a while. Mr. Captain ?Joy said in a daze. ?The figures of the giant beasts around him vaguely overlapped with the predators in the sea in his memory. ??Only this time, the one who protects her is no longer a high-ranking god, but Captain Xia En, whom she is prepared to follow for the rest of her life! Roar! ?Another roar, implying wariness, uneasiness and greed, came from the mist not far away. After witnessing so many giant beasts being killed by Xia En, this dragon-shaped creature inevitably felt a little afraid. ??But the impulse in his blood finally prevailed. ?After a brief hesitation, its figure emerged from the water and opened its mouth to Xia En, who seemed to be exhausted. Stand back! ?At this moment, a cold and soft drink sounded. ??Joy''s lower body returned to his human-like legs, and he took a step forward, stretching out his delicate hands towards the giant beast on the blood lake. ?The silver hair was blown by the sea breeze from an invisible place, spreading like a waterfall. ?Those crimson eyes shine like gems, and the secret blue power flows like the tide. For a moment, Joey seemed to be holding something invisible. Immediately, she followed her instinct and waved her palm towards the giant beast. Boom ?Like stagnant time suddenly starting up, like a heavy curtain suddenly tearing apart, like a barrier collapsing at the border of reality. ??On the Blood Lake, a huge wave tens of meters high suddenly rose up, carrying a terrifying force and pressing down on the dragon-turned-behemoth inside. Immediately afterwards, the filthy blood-colored lake water swept away in all directions. The lake water is continuously purified during this process, and its color becomes lighter and lighter until it becomes transparent and clear. ?In just the blink of an eye, the giant beast was crushed to death by the rushing waves, and its huge body was washed away along with the lake water. Not long after, there was only a shallow pool of water left under the platform. ??Joy stared at this scene blankly, looking a little dazed, and murmured. Is this...what I did? ?But now, she had no time to think so much and hurriedly ran to Xia En, who was not far away. Mr. Captain! ?Shaan used his big sword to prop himself up to prevent himself from falling down, and at the same time glanced at Joey in surprise. Even he was secretly frightened by the power of that blow just now. ?Furthermore, observing Joey''s aura at this time, he actually felt a bit unfathomable, as if it could pose a considerable threat to him. Its amazing how much progress can be made with just one bloodline transformation... But, the stronger the crew, the stronger the captain, which is definitely a good thing. ?Shaan wanted to maintain the dignity of the captain, so he walked leisurely in front of Joey. Unfortunately, he couldn''t do it. ?In this battle, he was rarely pushed to the point of exhaustion. ?In Joey''s perception, she just slept for one night, but in reality, three days and three nights had actually passed! In the past three days, Xia En has been fighting **** battles with these dragon-turned-behemoths, with little time to breathe. ?Such a high-intensity battle, even if his physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he has the talent of [high-speed regeneration], it is somewhat difficult to maintain. Even before Joey woke up, Shane had been forced to use the [Giant Wristwheel]. ?This time, he actually experienced the feeling of [severe strain] and [difficulty walking] with his body. To put it bluntly, the muscles all over the body hurt everywhere. Let alone walking, even moving my little finger has a heartbreaking pain. Xia En just stood on the corpse mountain, not because of the concave shape, but because he couldn''t move at all, so he could only use the remaining power to scare the remaining dragon-shaped monsters around him. ??If Joey wakes up any later, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only Xia En, Xian Ge beside him was also very tired. At this time, it was lying weakly on the platform, almost fainting. Mr. Captain ?After walking to Xia En, Joey was once again shocked by his injuries, feeling distressed and moved at the same time. For a moment, I actually felt like crying. Looking at the tears in her eyes, Xia En smiled and said, "Why are you crying? Am I still alive and well?" Speaking of it, that heart seems to have been purified by you...hiss..." ??Even when he was talking, he felt a burst of pain from the muscles involved. By the way, heart...dragon blood! At this time, Xian Ge sat up suddenly and reminded: "The dragon''s blood in the heart is a good thing, and it is also a treasure for healing." Furthermore, it has been purified and can be absorbed without fear of being contaminated by blasphemous power. "However, the medicinal properties of the ancient dragon''s blood are too strong and are not suitable for drinking directly. It is better to pour it into this pool and just take a bath." Hearing this, Joey immediately went to the goddess statue and took down the huge ancient dragon heart. ?Compared with the previous dark color, this heart has become much pinker, and the blood flowing out of it has become purer, and it also exudes a faint sweet smell. Soon, Joey cut open the heart of the ancient dragon and poured the blood into the pool below. ?This heart is huge, and the blood flowing out of it easily fills the pool. Then, Joey carefully helped Xia En walk into the blood pool. As soon as he stepped into the blood pool, Xia En suddenly felt an ironing sensation on his body. Immediately afterwards, the secret power hidden in the dragon''s blood began to pour into his body, and continued to repair the injuries in his body. Brings a tingling and refreshing feeling. Xia En couldn''t help but let out a long breath, and the fatigue all over his body seemed to be relieved a lot. ?However, after the discomfort dissipated, a filling sense of sleepiness and peace of mind came to my mind. ?Shanes head leaned to the side, resting on Joeys white, lotus-knotted arms, and fell asleep right there. Mr. Captain? ??Joy was stunned for a moment, with a faint blush on his earlobes. He pursed his lips and thought: "Mr. Captain, he must be too tired, so let him have a good rest." ?She looked at Xia En''s pretty face, felt the warmth coming from her arms, and couldn''t help but smile silly. Inexplicably, she began to hum softly. The wind is blowing, its raining No need to be afraid, no need to panic Wind and waves are our cradle, and the sea is our hotbed Not far away, Xian Ge was crawling towards the blood pool with difficulty, feeling like crying but without tears. What about me? Sister, you should give me a hand! (End of this chapter) Chapter 143 The first multi-person promotion ritual! Chapter 143 The first multi-person promotion ritual! Not long. ?Shaan displayed many potion ingredients beside him and lit a piece of incense. This is a material called [Sea Agarwood]. Its function is to help the mystics meditate and concentrate, making it easier to enter the promotion ritual. ?Different from the first- and second-level promotion rituals, the third-level promotion ritual requires more than one kind of potion material. However, the usage of these potion ingredients is not what some people imagine. Mix them all together in a cauldron to make a special potion. In fact, some excellent alchemists and pharmacists do have the ability to make a potion while retaining the original properties of the potion materials. But where is it so easy to meet such an alchemist? Ordinary mystics, if they try to refine it themselves, will only destroy the secret power in the materials and get a pile of useless waste. Hence, the method adopted by most secret path practitioners is the "spiritual extraction method." As the name suggests, it uses the soul to extract the secret power of the potion, and then fuses them through special rituals. [Black Stone Essence] exudes the aura of withering and decay all the time, which is exactly the opposite of [Rebirth]. ?His originally vibrant and vigorous vitality was declining at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The skin on his body even became dry, chapped, and had fine wrinkles like that of an old man. After some inquiry and research, Xia En has roughly understood the different symbols of these three potions. But Xia En was not panicked, because this was a sign of success in extracting traits. ?Of course, this "spiritual extraction method" also has its own shortcomings and risks. Subsequently, he placed the [Crimson Reality] upward in the east, the [Black Stone Essence] in the west, and the [Celestial Star Sea Star] in the true north. At least, this is indeed a feasible and relatively convenient method of promotion, so it is naturally widely spread in the Seven Seas. ?Although there are these risks, they are nothing compared to the temptation of being promoted to a third-level secret path practitioner. ?After the blue and milky white liquid seeped out, it naturally adhered to Xia En''s skin and transmitted the cool, sea-like secret power into his body. is the symbol of [death]. But regardless of its prefixes and characteristics, in essence, it is just a marine creature. Obviously, [Crimson Reality] represents flesh and blood, vitality, and vitality. In a daze, the hazy sound of waves came from far away. Due to the effect of [Black Stone Essence]. At this time, it is the turn of other auxiliary medicines to appear. ?The feeling in my body that was about to explode, like a powder keg, got better just now. ?Xia En took a deep breath to calm down his restless mood. is the symbol of [new life]. Is this a special method used to enhance the perception of the mysterious sea? ? Xia En, whose vitality is constantly declining, is more clearly aware of this unique secret power. ?The medicinal properties of different potions are sometimes in conflict, and may even cause a violent reaction like water and fire, causing considerable damage to the promoted Mystic. As for other auxiliary materials, they are actually just incidental materials to neutralize the medicinal properties of the three main materials. "Or...life after death, destruction and then erection?" The real test has just begun now! The secret power of black and azure washed over Xia En''s body again and again, constantly strengthening his inspiration. Shaan En understood something in his heart. The dark, half-solid, half-liquid secret power flowed into Xia En''s body along his fingertips. ?After his vitality weakened to a certain extent, Xia En picked up the [Celestial Star Sea Star] in the north, grinding and squeezing it bit by bit. ?Of course, these three potions have other, mysterious properties, but the core is extremely clear. ?However, he did not relax. ?Xia En dragged his somewhat weak body and took several auxiliary materials one after another. Understanding this, Xia En''s actions naturally became firm and decisive. He first reached out and touched the [Black Stone Essence] in the west direction. Such a change is undoubtedly extremely terrifying to ordinary mystics. So it symbolizes [the ocean]. DeathOceanRebirth ?For example, people whose perception is too slow cannot capture the spirituality in potions; ??Another example is that a certain magic potion is toxic, and long exposure time will cause damage to the Mystic... However, when they are entangled and collide, they also have reactions of mutual repulsion and loss. Even the light golden hair has a pale color. The order of their extraction is very important. Once the order is wrong, the result may not be as simple as the failure of the ritual. ? And [׺] is a bit difficult to understand at first glance. ??However, what the auxiliary medicine can do is to neutralize the secret power as much as possible and adjust it to a range that the human body can accept, but it cannot completely eliminate the negative effects of the magic medicine. ?Xia En could clearly feel that his breath was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed as if the strength he had worked so hard to gain for so many days was leaving him. The feeling of losing power is undoubtedly frightening. Xia En was naturally deeply aware of this fear. So much so that for a moment, he even wanted to interrupt the promotion process. But he understood more clearly that only by facing this fear head-on and resisting it with tenacious will could he enter a new realm. It is said that the third level is a difficulty for those on the secret path. Now it seems that apart from factors such as potions and secret powers, a firm will is also the threshold that stops many people on the secret path. Xia En sighed secretly in his heart, calmed down, and waited quietly for the critical moment to arrive. I dont know how long this kind of suffering has lasted. At this time, the vitality and secret power in Xia En''s body had weakened to a very dangerous point. It seemed as if he was about to fall into the arms of the **** of death. But at the same time, the blood vessels and muscles in Xia En''s body have turned into a slightly blue color due to the medicinal properties of [Celestial Star Sea Star]. Even the air he breathed out seemed to be carrying the salty smell of the sea breeze. ?The illusory waves appeared before my eyes, like the dark night sky. There is no doubt that that is the call from the [Secret Sea]! Seeing this, Xia En no longer hesitated and stretched out his hand to the last [Crimson Reality]. ??The method of using this fruit is the simplest and crudest. One word, eat! The plump, dark red fruit was bitten into, and the rich juice instantly exploded in Xia En''s mouth. The large pieces of pulp melted like ice and snow, turning into waves of heat that spread all over his body. ?The deliciousness of this fruit is beyond Xia Ens imagination. Perhaps completely opposite to the previous torture experience, eating [Crimson Reality] feels extremely comfortable. ?Especially after the previous suffering, the beauty of this feeling becomes more and more prominent, just like coming from **** to heaven! at the same time. The pure and dazzling red secret power, like the finest rubies, quickly spread out from the esophagus, nourishing Xia En''s dry body that was damaged by the magic potion. The extremely strong vitality stirred and stirred along with the heat flow, running back and forth in Xia En''s body. The wrinkles on his face were smoothed away, his unnaturally pale hair was filled with light golden luster again, and his skin became smooth and elastic again. Just a few seconds. ?The vitality lost just now due to [Black Stone Essence] has been completely compensated, and it has even been pushed to a new peak in waves of erosion! The cheers of blood, muscles, and bones echoed in his ears! The so-called "blood power" continues to grow and grow, like a mighty river, flowing endlessly in Xia En''s veins. In a daze, Xia En could even feel that his bloodline was undergoing some strange transformation and sublimation! But he didnt wait until he could feel this sublimation carefully. The illusory sound of the waves suddenly became extremely real, as if they were merging into a song of the sea. ?At the same time, an invisible but real door slowly opened in front of me. Soon, a familiar tugging feeling came from the depths of my soul. Fall, fall again ?Xia Ens consciousness gradually sank into the dark sea full of stars and light marks... When Xia En opened his eyes again, he was already on the [Secret Sea]. The sea breeze blew, and the water on both sides gently lapped at the hull. Like the previous two promotions, he is also on the empty shell of the [Black Swan]. ?However, after taking a closer look, Xia En soon discovered that the [Black Swan] at this time was exactly what it looked like after strengthening. Every time you are promoted, will it be synchronized according to the current status of the hull? ?Xia En touched his chin, and then began to observe the situation on the sea around him. It is different from the last time we came up, which was cloudy and undercurrent. ??The weather during this promotion ritual was quite good. The bright sunshine was shining on the sea, and the waves were like bright golden scales, which was beautiful. The warm sea breeze blew gently, making Xia En''s hair flutter slightly. This weather is many times more comfortable than the humid "Hui Nan Tian" on the foggy sea. ??If it weren''t for the dark water with a clear and clear texture around him, Xia En almost forgot that he was on the promotion ritual. What surprised Xia En even more. ?After checking his own status, he discovered that he had actually brought several extraordinary items to the promotion ritual. Including [Hui Jiao Amulet], [Giant Wristwheel], and some miscellaneous objects. Somethings wrong, somethings very wrong ?Faced with this situation, Xia En did not relax. Instead, his expression became more serious, and he frowned and murmured. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. In his understanding, the promotion ritual should not be able to carry extraordinary items. ?Why was this restriction suddenly lifted this time? Is it because the preparations for entering the ritual this time are very good, or is it because of the special nature of the promotion ritual itself? Can''t blame Xia En for making such a fuss. The difficulty of the first two promotion rituals left a deep impression on him. There is no reason why the difficulty of the third-level ritual should be reduced. At the moment, the peace and tranquility on the sea level is more like the calm before the storm. ?This secret sea will eventually tear open its gentle veil and reveal its cruel and violent side. Suddenly, Xia En looked in a direction on the sea, his pupils narrowed slightly. He saw that among the undulations of the waves, there was another ship moving forward through the waves! To be precise, there is more than one ship. There are at least a dozen ships in the nearby waters! Just because of the long distance, these ships look very small and can easily be ignored. What happened to those ships? ??Xia En stared at the nearest ship, his mind working rapidly. Are they projections from the ascension ritual, or... other mystics who have ascended to the third level? ?Long time ago, Xia En had heard that when the secret path reaches a certain level, there will be a ritual in which several people complete the promotion trial together. ?Now it seems that I have encountered this situation. But the problem is His relationship with these secret travelers, is he an enemy or a friend? ?As far as Xia En knows, there are various ways of promotion trials, including trial tasks that allow Mystics to compete with each other. In particular, Xia En obtained a somewhat evil hidden profession. ??Even if a mission comes up to eliminate all other Mysterians, he probably won''t be surprised. ??Although Shane himself is not a murderous person, he probably doesn''t mind clearing the stumbling blocks on the secret path if others stand in his way. besides. ?Xia En still has a lot of questions in his mind. Since the ship can be seen, it means that most of these secret voyagers are [Captain] secret voyage professionals. But they dont seem to have the talent of [Captains Majesty], so how do they manage the entire ship? ?Furthermore, even if the world is very big, are there really so many mystical people who happen to enter the promotion ritual at this time? ?Xia En thought about it and thought of a possibility. ? Judging from the different time flow rate between the last promotion ritual and reality, the time laws of this [Secret Sea] may also be quite different from reality. In other words, these mystical practitioners may not enter the ritual at the same time as Shaan. Rather, within a certain period of time, the secret path practitioners who meet the requirements are all drawn into the same promotion ritual. This time period may be a few hours, a day, or half a month. All kinds of conjectures are running through my mind. But Xia En knew very well that until there was sufficient evidence, these conjectures were just conjectures. But now, do you want to try to contact other mystics? ?Xia En looked at the ships not far away and finally gave up the idea. ??If it is a cooperative trial mission, there is no harm in getting in touch with it. But if they are competing with each other... I''m afraid it will become a "fight starts within three seconds of meeting" situation. ?Besides, even if it is the former, with the difficulty of the trial at the level of Shane''s Hell, other Mysterians probably won''t be able to help much. While Xia En was thinking. ??Rumble A strange black thunder flashed through the clouds in the distant sky. Then, the roaring sound of thunder belatedly reached my ears. Sure enough, its here! Xia En looked at the horizon, but couldn''t help but his face changed slightly, and he sighed: "This is really the calm before the storm..." I only saw it, in that direction. The thick dark clouds were approaching the sea area where the secret travelers were at almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. Accompanied by it, there were sudden strong winds and huge waves! Just as Xia En expected. ?The secret sea, which was calm and peaceful one moment, became dangerous the next second, as if it was deliberately playing tricks on these promoted secretaries. The thing that cannot be ignored the most in the field of vision is the huge waterspout approaching with the storm on the sea. The seawater continues to rotate under the influence of air currents and rises upward, eventually forming a thick water column that is connected to the towering clouds. ?Such a spectacular sight, even Xia En couldn''t help but lose consciousness for a moment. ??Screams of fear and fear were also heard from ships in the nearby waters. From this point of view, we can tell that they are not NPCs projected by the [Secret Sea], but real living people! At this time. A few lines of prompts flashed before Xia En''s eyes. Trial mission: Before all other trialists die, eliminate the source of the storm and destroy this storm! If the tester dies or the ship sinks into the secret sea, the mission will be deemed a failure! Note: The flow of time in this sea area is twice as fast as reality. "Um?" Destroy the storm...me? ??Xia En''s eyelids twitched slightly. Looking at the terrifying storm that was approaching quickly, he once again had the urge to curse. In the face of this power of nature, the power of individuals appears extremely small. ?Perhaps a higher-level mystic or even a **** can do this, but he is still only a third-level mystic now! Is this difficult trial really reasonable? I told you how you unlocked the restrictions on extraordinary items this time. Give me a sweet date and a big stick, right? ?Xia En couldn''t help but make a few slanderous remarks. ?But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this trial task is not really impossible? ? Judging from the description of the mission, this storm has a [source], and it is its existence that causes the storm to appear. It is indeed unrealistic to defeat the storm, but if we just eliminate the source of the storm, there should still be a chance, right? ?At this point, Xia En can only comfort himself in this way. However, at least its not a mission to hunt down other Mystic Pathfinders. To be honest, Xia En was secretly relieved. Dying during the promotion ritual, although you will not truly die, it will cause certain damage to the soul. ?If they do not receive timely treatment, it may leave lifelong hidden dangers and prevent them from reaching higher realms. After all, there is no need for grievances and enmity, and there is no need for Xia En to ruin other people''s futures and cut off the advancement paths of other secret practitioners. ?Of course, if it is an enemy, that is a different matter. After thinking for a moment, Xia En silently glanced at the ships not far away and thought to himself. I hope you wont die so quickly and give me a little more time. Immediately, he drove the [Black Swan] and took the initiative to break through the waves towards the center of the storm. (End of this chapter) Chapter 143 The first multi-person promotion ritual! Chapter 143 The first multi-person promotion ritual! Not long. ?Shaan displayed many potion ingredients beside him and lit a piece of incense. ??This is a material called [Sea Agarwood]. Its function is to help the mystics meditate and concentrate, making it easier to enter the promotion ritual. ?Different from the first- and second-level promotion rituals, the third-level promotion ritual requires more than one kind of potion material. However, the usage of these potion ingredients is not what some people imagine. Mix them all together in a cauldron to make a special potion. In fact, some excellent alchemists and pharmacists do have the ability to make a potion while retaining the original properties of the potion materials. But, where is it so easy to meet such an alchemist? Ordinary mystics, if they try to refine it themselves, will only destroy the secret power in the materials and get a pile of useless waste. Hence, the method adopted by most secret path practitioners is the "spiritual extraction method." As the name suggests, it uses the soul to extract the secret power of the potion, and then fuses them through special rituals. ?Of course, this "spiritual extraction method" also has its own shortcomings and risks. ?For example, people whose perception is too slow cannot capture the spirituality in potions; ??Another example is that a certain magic potion is toxic, and long exposure time will cause damage to the Mystic... ?Although there are these risks, they are nothing compared to the temptation of being promoted to a third-level secret path practitioner. At least, this is indeed a feasible and relatively convenient method of promotion, so it is naturally widely spread in the Seven Seas. ?Xia En took a deep breath to calm down his restless mood. Subsequently, he placed the [Crimson Reality] upward in the east, the [Black Stone Essence] in the west, and the [Celestial Star Sea Star] in the true north. After some inquiry and research, Xia En has roughly understood the different symbols of these three potions. Obviously, [Crimson Reality] represents flesh and blood, vitality, and vitality. is the symbol of [new life]. [Black Stone Essence] exudes the aura of withering and decay all the time, which is exactly the opposite of [Rebirth]. is the symbol of [death]. ?? And [׺] is a bit difficult to understand at first glance. But regardless of its prefixes and characteristics, in essence, it is just a marine creature. So it symbolizes [the ocean]. ?Of course, these three potions have other, mysterious properties, but the core is extremely clear. DeathOceanRebirth The order of their extraction is very important. Once the order is wrong, the result may not be as simple as the failure of the ritual. As for other auxiliary materials, they are actually just incidental materials to neutralize the medicinal properties of the three main materials. Understanding this, Xia En''s actions naturally became firm and decisive. He first reached out and touched the [Black Stone Essence] in the west direction. The dark, half-solid, half-liquid secret power flowed into Xia En''s body along his fingertips. ?His originally vibrant and vigorous vitality was declining at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The skin on his body even became dry, chapped, and had fine wrinkles like that of an old man. Even the light golden hair has a pale color. Such a change is undoubtedly extremely terrifying to ordinary mystics. But Xia En was not panicked, because this was a sign of success in extracting traits. ?After his vitality weakened to a certain extent, Xia En picked up the [Celestial Star Sea Star] in the north, grinding and squeezing it bit by bit. ?After the blue and milky white liquid seeped out, it naturally adhered to Xia En''s skin and transmitted the cool, sea-like secret power into his body. Due to the effect of [Black Stone Essence]. Xia En, whose vitality is constantly declining, is more clearly aware of this unique secret power. In a daze, the hazy sound of waves came from far away. Is this a special method used to enhance the perception of the mysterious sea? "Or...life after death, destruction and then erection?" Shaan En understood something in his heart. ?However, he did not relax. The real test has just begun now! The secret power of black and azure washed over Xia En''s body again and again, constantly strengthening his inspiration. However, when they are entangled and collide, they also have reactions of mutual repulsion and loss. The medicinal properties of different potions are sometimes in conflict, and may even cause a violent reaction like water and fire, causing considerable damage to the promoted Mystic. At this time, it is the turn of other auxiliary medicines to appear. ?Xia En dragged his somewhat weak body and took several auxiliary materials one after another. ?The feeling inside my body that was about to explode, like a powder keg, got better just now. ??However, what the auxiliary medicine can do is to neutralize the secret power as much as possible and adjust it to a range that the human body can accept, but it cannot completely eliminate the negative effects of the magic medicine. ?Xia En could clearly feel that his breath was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed as if the strength he had worked so hard to gain for so many days was leaving him. The feeling of losing power is undoubtedly frightening. Xia En was naturally deeply aware of this fear. So much so that for a moment, he even wanted to interrupt the promotion process. But he understood more clearly that only by facing this fear head-on and resisting it with tenacious will could he enter a new realm. It is said that the third level is a difficulty for those on the secret path. Now it seems that apart from factors such as potions and secret powers, a firm will is also the threshold that stops many people on the secret path. Xia En sighed secretly in his heart, calmed down, and waited quietly for the critical moment to arrive. I dont know how long this kind of suffering has lasted. At this time, the vitality and secret power in Xia En''s body had weakened to a very dangerous point. It seemed as if he was about to fall into the arms of the **** of death. But at the same time, the blood vessels and muscles in Xia En''s body have turned into a slightly blue color due to the medicinal properties of [Celestial Star Sea Star]. Even the air he breathed out seemed to be carrying the salty smell of the sea breeze. ?The illusory waves appeared before my eyes, like the dark night sky. There is no doubt that that is the call from the [Secret Sea]! Seeing this, Xia En no longer hesitated and stretched out his hand to the last [Crimson Reality]. ??The method of using this fruit is the simplest and crudest. One word, eat! The plump, dark red fruit was bitten into, and the rich juice instantly exploded in Xia En''s mouth. The large pieces of pulp melted like ice and snow, turning into waves of heat that spread throughout his body. ?The deliciousness of this fruit is beyond Xia Ens imagination. Perhaps completely opposite to the previous torture experience, eating [Crimson Reality] feels extremely comfortable. ?Especially after the previous suffering, the beauty of this feeling becomes more and more prominent, just like coming from **** to heaven! At the same time. The pure and dazzling red secret power, like the finest rubies, quickly spread out from the esophagus, nourishing Xia En''s dry body that was damaged by the magic potion. The extremely strong vitality stirred and stirred along with the heat flow, running back and forth in Xia En''s body. The wrinkles on his face were smoothed away, his unnaturally pale hair was filled with light golden luster again, and his skin became smooth and elastic again. Just a few seconds. ?The vitality lost just now due to [Black Stone Essence] has been completely compensated, and it has even been pushed to a new peak in waves of erosion! The cheers of blood, muscles, and bones echoed in his ears! The so-called "blood power" continues to grow and grow, like a mighty river, flowing endlessly in Xia En''s veins. In a daze, Xia En could even feel that his bloodline was undergoing some strange transformation and sublimation! But he didnt wait until he could feel this sublimation carefully. The illusory sound of the waves suddenly became extremely real, as if they were merging into a song of the sea. ?At the same time, an invisible but real door slowly opened in front of me. Soon, a familiar tugging feeling came from the depths of my soul. Fall, fall again ?Xia Ens consciousness gradually sank into the dark sea full of stars and light marks... When Xia En opened his eyes again, he was already on the [Secret Sea]. The sea breeze blew, and the water on both sides gently lapped at the hull. Like the previous two promotions, he is also on the empty shell of the [Black Swan]. ?However, after taking a closer look, Xia En soon discovered that the [Black Swan] at this time was exactly what it looked like after being strengthened. Every time you are promoted, will it be synchronized according to the current status of the hull? ?Xia En touched his chin, and then began to observe the situation on the sea around him.

Immediately, he drove the [Black Swan] and took the initiative to break through the waves towards the center of the storm. (End of this chapter) Chapter 145 Hidden profession [Storm Raider! 】 Chapter 145 Hidden Profession[Storm Raider! Boom! ! ??As this jet-black thunder and lightning fell, the entire storm and even the [Secret Sea] seemed to tremble in front of the terrifying power. ??The captains who were close to the core of the mine did not hesitate at all and quickly fled away from the ship. ?Those people on the edge of the storm could only stare blankly at this terrifying offensive that was shocking and like a punishment from heaven. However, the giant in the sea, Xia En, did not flinch even a step. Double ship soul power blessed him. ??Meeted with the power of the rushing giant. ?Moreover, a layer of faint, translucent blood armor began to appear on the surface of his huge body. Indistinctly, the ancient dragon''s unwilling and angry roar could be heard, and even for a moment it drowned out the sound of the roaring storm. At this moment, this majestic giant seemed to be challenging the storm and the sky with his own power! In an instant. Wait a minutedid he really want to!? But at least at this moment, Xia En briefly gained control of the Dark Thunder Spear. ?Of course, this dark thunder spear is not so obedient. Ship Soul Power -4! Ship Soul Power -5! ??The violent thunder continued to vent its power, but it was still unable to penetrate the layer of blood armor, nor could it crush the giant''s body. ??Thick thunder and lightning crashed down on Xia En''s back. At the next moment. In fact, if it werent for the sturdiness of the [Black Swan], which has been greatly improved after the strengthening of the hull, this lightning strike alone would be enough to wipe out half of the projection bodys life. Shane raised his huge right hand under the thunder. It felt to him as if it was assimilating and swallowing everything else it came into contact with, dyeing them all into that deep, colorful black. The effectiveness of [Sword of Judgment] attached to the spear, causing its speed to surge again, and it plunged into the sea like thunder. The solid and thick blood force spread out and continued to squeeze toward the center as his right hand clenched. The pitch-black arc flashed and spread continuously, destroying the body of the projection and the armor formed by the "Secret of Dragon Blood". The power of the ship''s soul suddenly fell downwards, and was rapidly reduced by the continuous damage of lightning. And the target of their squeezing was suddenly the dark thunder falling from the clouds! The surrounding waves collapsed under this blow, forming a vacuum zone. In the storm, the giant held the thunder in one hand! Lan on the Heron was also shaken and murmured in disbelief: "No matter how you say it, that kind of thing is too outrageous, right?" ??The power of the ship''s soul that is falling faster on the panel is enough to illustrate the danger of this behavior. I saw that under the squeeze of the huge force, a dark weapon that looked like a sword or a spear gradually formed in the giant''s palm. ?This secret power is different from any secret power that Xia En has ever come into contact with. It is horribly destructive and corrosive. Seeing this scene, Loren couldn''t help but widen his eyes and came up with a guess. ??The violent lightning arc is still fighting against the squeeze of blood, wrapping around Xia En''s arm and destroying his body. There was an explosion in the air, and howling storm wind and thunder roared in all directions with the spear as the center. ?Huge astonishment and shock enveloped everyone present, and they even forgot to make a sound for a moment. Ship Soul Power -20! Ship Soul Power -2! Although the specific form of black lightning is thunder, in essence, it is still a unique secret power! Amidst the wandering black thunder snakes, the heavy downpour, and the huge rolling waves, he slowly straightened his back. So we can only use summoning to attract the thunder in the clouds. But soon, the scene they expected appeared in front of them. ?Anyone who witnesses this scene will probably have a similar mood. As for thunder and lightning and fire, they are only its appearance. ?Aware of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a bold idea in his mind. ?So, he raised the spear, gathered all his strength, and thrust the spear heavily into the body of the giant sea anemone, and let out a thunderous roar. ?However, at the same time, Xia En also felt it with his body - Ship Soul Power -3! Even this sea anemone, which is the source of the storm, is not actually the real owner of this secret power. Boom! ! The moment the spear pierced the body of the dark sea anemone. Pure black flames ignited and distorted the air. The surging heat seemed to set the sea on fire. ?This force, which does not distinguish between friend and foe, brutally destroys the body of the sea anemone, causing the soft tentacles to continuously break and its deepest core to fall apart. ?No matter how much its body struggles and squirms, it is of no avail. ?Looking at the monster whose vitality was rapidly fading, Xia En felt an indescribable realization in his heart. Is this the true artistic conception of [Judgment]? The so-called [judgment], the most important thing is not to use one''s own strength to crush the enemy, but to "take advantage of the situation." The borrowing can be the "power" of the sea, the storm, or the "power" of the entire heaven and earth. In other words, you regard your environment as a huge [judgment field], and you, the supreme judge here, are about to judge the crimes of your enemies! ?This is the real reason why [Sword of Judgment] may touch the "field" category! Just when Shane understood this. Skill: Sword of Judgment (Beginner) (Mastery)! Description: After several times of use in actual combat, you have gone further on the road of judgment. ??Xia En''s eyes swept across the panel, and then looked at his hands. ??The cost of previously controlling the Dark Thunder Spear is now beginning to appear. The fine black lightning arcs have destroyed the armor formed by blood and begun to erode the body inside. ?The black flame gradually spread from his hands to his whole body. The flame composed of this secret power cannot be extinguished by ordinary sea water, wind and rain. Ship Soul Power: 12/100 It is estimated that as long as ten seconds pass, the power of the ship''s soul will be completely exhausted. But before the projection body dissipates, Shane has one last thing to do. He dived into the water below and touched the sinking carcass of the anemone. Kill the Black Color Anemone! It was detected that "contaminant crystals" were present in the corpse. Should it be stored? Xia En said decisively: "Yes!" Crystal of filth +358! Feeling the constant influx of filthy crystals, Xia En couldn''t help but smile like an old farmer with a harvest. His projected body gradually decomposed and melted under the mysterious power of darkness... Above the secret sea. At some point, the heavy rain stopped. ?The wind and waves slowly calmed down, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the pale golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and swayed on the sea. Warm, bright. ?Seeing such a scene, the few remaining captains on the [Secret Sea] could not help but feel a sense of joy in surviving the disaster. Its just that the experience of this promotion ritual, especially the scene of the giant holding the thunder spear, has been deeply imprinted in their minds, and they may not be able to forget it for decades. At this time, [Thunder] is on the deck. Loren looked at the position where the giant and anemone sank into the secret sea, and could not regain his consciousness for a long time. ?Now, the pride he had just now was gone from his face. To be honest, although in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Loren has already seen the strength of the [Shadowless Shadow]. But at that time, he had always felt that the [Shadowless Shadow] relied on a special forbidden relic and the power of the [Platinum Knight] to achieve such a record. Even, Loren once thought that the [Shadow without Face] was some kind of inhuman monster. ?This kind of mentality is actually quite normal. ? Once people see a high wall that they cannot climb over, it is easy to deify or demonize it without permission. But now, the fact that they are entering the promotion ritual together is enough to show that The true form of [Shadow without Appearance] is actually a second-level Mystic Pathfinder like him! Such a huge gap inevitably made Loren, who has always been proud and arrogant, feel a strong sense of frustration. But after all, he had experienced many storms. He quickly took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said to himself as if he had set a goal. Is it the formless shadow? You are indeed strong enough, but one day, I will catch up with you! Not far away, Lan on the Heron glanced at Loren strangely, wondering where he got his confidence. Compared with the issue of strength, what Lan cares more about is the purpose and identity of [Shadowless Shadow]. [Shadow of the Faceless] took the initiative to hunt sea beasts in the storm to help other Mysterians pass the trial? Lan shook his head and quickly rejected this conjecture. She didn''t think there would be any secret person who would be selfless to this extent. Could it be that...his trial mission is to destroy that sea anemone? Thinking of this, Lan couldn''t help but look shocked. ?As an official captain of the Federation, Lan knows more about promotion rituals than ordinary secret path practitioners, so he knows that there are hidden professions in some secret paths. As for those who want to find jobs in these hidden professions, the trials given by the Secret Sea will be more stringent and more difficult. ?Of course, the rewards and gifts received will also be extremely generous. Lan secretly sighed: "It seems that there is one more famous third-level powerhouse in the Seven Seas." Lord Carles said that [The Faceless Shadow] is not the persons true body, but since he appears in the promotion ritual... In other words, the true form of the [Shadowless Shadow] is among these captains? Lan''s eyes scanned the surrounding sea, preparing to note down the characteristics of these ships. She had no special idea in exploring the true identity of the [Shadowless Shadow], just to satisfy her curiosity. Not long after, Lan''s eyes fell on a ship with a dark hull with silver lines, and she was greatly surprised. This is... [Black Swan]? How did it become like this? Lan is on good terms with Carles and has a good relationship with the demi-human Duran. So she has always paid attention to the [Black Swan], and naturally she has seen the portrait of this ship. ?However, the [Black Swan] in front of us has changed a lot from before, both in size and momentum. ?Even if it is just a projection, it brings a certain sense of oppression to Lan. Yes, I remember, there are rumors. Some time ago, it had an encounter with the [Blood Duke] at sea, and luckily escaped into the foggy sea. Its life and death are still uncertain. Could it be that it had some adventure in the foggy sea? At this time, Loren also noticed the black swan sculpture on the bow of the ship, and then suddenly recognized it. Its him! I have to ask, how is Mr. Feiya doing now... ??In the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Feiya gave a lot of help to the Thunder Pirates, and Loren always kept this kindness in his heart. ??However, Loren and Lan have not yet waited for the boat to approach. A unique secret power has come from nowhere. ?This is the sign that the trial is over and that you are about to leave the secret sea. at the same time. ??Several lines of text also appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Trial mission completed! The promotion ritual is over! Hidden Job Hidden Path: Storm Reaver (Level 3)! Is it really a hidden profession again? ButStorm Reaver? Having the last experience, Xia En is no longer so surprised. But he couldn''t help but be a little surprised by the name [Storm Reaver]. ?Captains at sea usually suffer from storms and avoid storms. What does the suffix "predator" mean? Xia En only had time to think about it casually, and a wave of secret power that was more turbulent and stronger than before was continuously poured into his body. The soul and body are washed together by it, and become stronger and more solid little by little. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased!

Feel the power from the storm! in reality. ?Xia En opened his eyes and let out a long breath. A powerful secret power that he had never felt before surged through his body. The terrifying power in his body gave him the illusion that he could crush the ground with just a little force. ??Xia En couldn''t help but smile. Is this what it feels like to be a third-level mystic? Its so addictive ??The increase in strength brought about by this promotion is not insignificant, and even exceeds the sum of the previous two promotions. This can also be seen in the comprehensive quality that soared directly from 0.57 to 0.9. The hidden profession of [Storm Raider] also surprised him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 145 Hidden profession [Storm Raider! 】 Chapter 145 Hidden Profession[Storm Raider! Boom! ! ??As this jet-black thunder and lightning fell, the entire storm and even the [Secret Sea] seemed to tremble in front of the terrifying power. ??The captains who were close to the core of the mine did not hesitate at all and quickly fled away from the ship. ?Those people on the edge of the storm could only stare blankly at this terrifying offensive that was shocking and like a punishment from heaven. However, the giant in the sea, Xia En, did not flinch even a step. Double ship soul power blessed him. Combined with the power of the rushing giant. ?Moreover, a layer of faint, translucent blood armor began to appear on the surface of his huge body. Indistinctly, the ancient dragon''s unwilling and angry roar could be heard, and even for a moment it drowned out the sound of the roaring storm. At this moment, this majestic giant seemed to be challenging the storm and the sky with his own power! In an instant. ??Thick thunder and lightning crashed down on Xia En''s back. The pitch-black arc flashed and spread continuously, destroying the body of the projection and the armor formed by the "Secret of Dragon Blood". Ship Soul Power -20! Ship Soul Power -2! Ship Soul Power -3! The power of the ship''s soul suddenly fell downwards, and was rapidly reduced by the continuous damage of lightning. In fact, if it werent for the sturdiness of the [Black Swan], which has been greatly improved after the strengthening of the hull, this lightning strike alone would be enough to wipe out half of the projection bodys life. ?However, at the same time, Xia En also felt it with his body - Although the specific form of black lightning is thunder, in essence, it is still a unique secret power! ?This secret power is different from any secret power that Xia En has ever come into contact with. It is horribly destructive and corrosive. It felt to him as if it was assimilating and swallowing everything else it came into contact with, dyeing them all into that deep, colorful black. As for thunder, lightning and fire, they are only its appearance. Even this sea anemone, which is the source of the storm, is not actually the real owner of this secret power. So we can only use summoning to attract the thunder in the clouds. ?Aware of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a bold idea in his mind. Amidst the wandering black thunder snakes, the heavy downpour, and the huge rolling waves, he slowly straightened his back. ??The violent thunder continued to vent its power, but it was still unable to penetrate the layer of blood armor, nor could it crush the giant''s body. At the next moment. Shane raised his huge right hand under the thunder. The solid and thick blood force spread out and continued to squeeze toward the center as his right hand clenched. And the target of their squeezing was suddenly the dark thunder falling from the clouds! Wait a minutedid he really want to!? Seeing this scene, Loren couldn''t help but widen his eyes and came up with a guess. Lan on the Heron was also shaken and murmured in disbelief: "No matter how you say it, that kind of thing is too outrageous, right?" But soon, the scene they expected appeared in front of them. I saw that under the squeeze of the huge force, a dark weapon that looked like a sword or a spear gradually formed in the giant''s palm. In the storm, the giant held the thunder in one hand! ?Huge astonishment and shock enveloped everyone present, and they even forgot to make a sound for a moment. ?Anyone who witnesses this scene will probably have a similar mood. ?Of course, this dark thunder spear is not so obedient. ??The violent lightning arc is still fighting against the squeeze of blood, wrapping around Xia En''s arm and destroying his body. Ship Soul Power -4! Ship Soul Power -5! ??The power of the ship''s soul that is falling faster on the panel is enough to illustrate the danger of this behavior. But at least at this moment, Xia En briefly gained control of the Dark Thunder Spear. ?So, he raised the spear, gathered all his strength, and stabbed the spear hard into the body of the giant sea anemone, and let out a thundering roar. The effectiveness of [Sword of Judgment] attached to the spear, causing its speed to surge again, and it plunged into the sea like thunder. There was an explosion in the air, and howling storm wind and thunder roared in all directions with the spear as the center. The surrounding waves collapsed under this blow, forming a vacuum zone. Boom! ! The moment the spear pierced the body of the dark sea anemone. Pure black flames ignited and distorted the air. The surging heat seemed to set the sea on fire. ?This force, which does not distinguish between friend and foe, brutally destroys the body of the sea anemone, causing the soft tentacles to continuously break and its deepest core to fall apart. ?No matter how much its body struggles and squirms, it is of no avail. ?Looking at the monster whose vitality was rapidly fading, Xia En felt an indescribable realization in his heart. Is this the true artistic conception of [Judgment]? The so-called [judgment], the most important thing is not to use one''s own strength to crush the enemy, but to "take advantage of the situation." The borrowing can be the "power" of the sea, the storm, or the "power" of the entire heaven and earth. In other words, you regard your environment as a huge [judgment field], and you, the supreme judge here, are about to judge the crimes of your enemies! This is the real reason why [Sword of Judgment] may touch the "field" category! Just when Shane understood this. Skill: Sword of Judgment (Beginner) (Mastery)! Description: After several times of use in actual combat, you have gone further on the road of judgment. ??Xia En''s eyes swept across the panel, and then looked at his hands. ??The cost of previously controlling the Dark Thunder Spear is now beginning to appear. The fine black lightning arcs have destroyed the armor formed by blood and begun to erode the body inside. ?The black flame gradually spread from his hands to his whole body. The flame composed of this secret power cannot be extinguished by ordinary sea water, wind and rain. Ship Soul Power: 12/100 It is estimated that as long as ten seconds pass, the power of the ship''s soul will be completely exhausted. But before the projection body dissipates, Shane has one last thing to do. He dived into the water below and touched the sinking carcass of the anemone. Kill the Black Color Anemone! It was detected that "contaminant crystals" were present in the corpse. Should it be stored? Xia En said decisively: "Yes!" Crystal of filth +358! Feeling the constant influx of filthy crystals, Xia En couldn''t help but smile like an old farmer with a harvest. His projected body gradually decomposed and melted under the mysterious power of darkness... Above the secret sea. At some point, the heavy rain stopped. ?The wind and waves slowly calmed down, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the pale golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and swayed on the sea. Warm, bright. Seeing such a scene, the few remaining captains on the [Secret Sea] could not help but feel a sense of joy in surviving the disaster. Its just that the experience of this promotion ritual, especially the scene of the giant holding the thunder spear, has been deeply imprinted in their minds, and they may not be able to forget it for decades. At this time, [Thunder] is on the deck. Loren looked at the position where the giant and anemone sank into the secret sea, and could not regain his consciousness for a long time. ?Now, the pride he had just now was gone from his face. To be honest, although in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Loren has already seen the strength of the [Shadowless Shadow]. But at that time, he had always felt that the [Shadowless Shadow] relied on a special forbidden relic and the power of the [Platinum Knight] to achieve such a record. Even, Loren once thought that the [Shadow without Face] was some kind of inhuman monster. ?This kind of mentality is actually quite normal. ?Once people see a high wall that they cannot climb over, it is easy to deify or demonize it without authorization. But now, the fact that we are entering the promotion ritual together is enough to show that The true form of [Shadow without Appearance] is actually a second-level Mystic Pathfinder like him! ?Such a huge gap inevitably made Loren, who has always been proud and arrogant, feel a strong sense of frustration. But after all, he had experienced many storms. He quickly took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said to himself as if he had set a goal. Is this the formless shadow? "You are indeed strong enough, but one day, I will catch up with you!" Not far away, Lan on the Heron glanced at Loren strangely, wondering where he got his confidence. Compared with the issue of strength, what Lan cares more about is the purpose and identity of [Shadowless Shadow]. [Shadow of the Faceless] took the initiative to hunt sea beasts in the storm to help other Mysterians pass the trial? Lan shook his head and quickly rejected this conjecture. She didnt think there would be any secret person who would be selfless to this extent. Could it be that...his trial mission is to destroy that sea anemone? Thinking of this, Lan couldn''t help but look shocked. ?As an official captain of the Federation, Lan knows more about promotion rituals than ordinary secret path practitioners, so he knows that there are hidden professions in some secret paths. As for those who want to find jobs in these hidden professions, the trials given by the Secret Sea will be more stringent and more difficult. ?Of course, the rewards and gifts received will also be extremely generous. Lan secretly sighed: "It seems that there is one more famous third-level powerhouse in the Seven Seas." Lord Carles said that [The Faceless Shadow] is not the persons true body, but since he appears in the promotion ritual... In other words, the true form of the [Shadowless Shadow] is among these captains? Lan''s eyes scanned the surrounding sea, preparing to note down the characteristics of these ships. She had no special idea in exploring the true identity of the [Shadowless Shadow], just to satisfy her curiosity. Not long after, Lan''s eyes fell on a ship with a dark hull with silver lines, and she was greatly surprised. This is... [Black Swan]? How did it become like this? Lan is on good terms with Carles and has a good relationship with the demi-human Duran. So she has always paid attention to the [Black Swan], and naturally she has seen the portrait of this ship. ?However, the [Black Swan] in front of us has changed a lot from before, both in size and momentum. ?Even if it is just a projection, it brings a certain sense of oppression to Lan.

Could it be that it had some adventure in the foggy sea? At this time, Loren also noticed the black swan sculpture on the bow of the ship, and then suddenly recognized it. It turns out to be him! I have to ask, how is Mr. Feiya doing now... ??In the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Feiya gave a lot of help to the Thunder Pirates, and Loren always kept this kindness in his heart. ??However, Loren and Lan have not yet waited for the boat to approach. A unique secret power has come from nowhere. ?This is the sign that the trial is over and that we are about to leave the secret sea. at the same time. ??Several lines of text also appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Trial mission completed! The promotion ritual is over! Hidden Job Hidden Path: Storm Raider (Level 3)! Is it really a hidden profession again? ButStorm Reaver?

Its so addictive ??The increase in strength brought about by this promotion is not insignificant, and even exceeds the sum of the previous two promotions. This can also be seen in the comprehensive quality that soared directly from 0.57 to 0.9. The hidden profession of [Storm Raider] also surprised him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 146 Leave the foggy sea and fight the [Blood Duke] again! Chapter 146: Leave the foggy sea and fight the [Blood Duke] again! First of all, there is the talent [Plundering Storm]. There is no doubt that this is the core ability of [Storm Reaver], and it is also the origin of the name of this hidden profession. With this talent, Xia En can improve his attributes and strength by encountering storms! ?The only pity is that... The panel clearly describes "naturally formed storms", which means that Shane cannot use Joey''s [Summon Storm] to increase his attributes without thinking. ?Think about it, the secret path to promotion will definitely not leave such obvious loopholes. What a pity, otherwise I would let Joey summon the storm every day and squeeze out her secret power! ?Xia En sighed with a rather regretful expression. However, storms contain different secret powers Seeing this statement, Xia En was thoughtful. As we all know, the Seven Seas are very large, so big that there are great differences between each sea area. Storms formed in different sea areas naturally have different characteristics. ?For example, a storm formed in the thunder-magnetic sea area naturally possesses the secret power of thunder magnetism. The storms in the Sea of ??Ashes and the Cold Sea are respectively filled with blazing flames and biting ice. In other words, if you want to complete [Special Plunder], you must head to other sea areas. ?Xia En touched his chin, but he was not surprised. CaptainThe core of the secret path is actually "exploitation" and "exploration." If you want to go further on this path, you must naturally do things that comply with its principles. As for the active skill [Storm Power], at first glance, it looks like an alternative "explosion" ability. ??Its just that it doesnt have the once a day limit, nor does it have the terrible side effects of [Giant Wristwheel]. The only limit to this skill is the number of plundering storms. The 0 after no attribute and the 1 after Dark Thunder are probably the number of times I can call [Storm Power]. Theoretically, as long as I plunder enough storms, I can be in the [Storm Power] state indefinitely? Could it be possible that the power of storms with different attributes can be superimposed together? For a moment, several conjectures came to Xia En''s mind. ?However, the specific effect can only be known after actual use and testing. ? No matter what, feeling the surging power in his body, Xia En can clearly realize how powerful he is at this time. And this is just his ordinary state! ?The second stage of opening the double blessing of the ship spirit, the third stage of transforming into a giant, and even the hidden stage of controlling [Storm Power] have not been revealed yet! What is a BOSS template? After half a year of accumulation, I was promoted from zero to level three. This speed should not be too slow if you look at Nanami. Its not in vain that I have worked so hard to level up and collect magic potions. With a sigh in his heart, Xia En raised his head and looked at the misty sea, with a coldness flashing in his eyes. Duke Nova, the time has come. Its time to settle the grudge between us. ?After Xia En was promoted to the third level, the gap in the highest combat power between the [Black Swan] and the [Blood Duke] was also eliminated, and he naturally no longer needed to hide in this foggy sea. At this time, Joey, who had been guarding not far away, also noticed Xia En''s awakening. She trotted over and felt secretly frightened after sensing the change in Xia En''s aura. Mr. Captain, the promotion was successful ?Joy was both happy and a little frustrated. She finally obtained the transformation of her bloodline, and her strength increased by leaps and bounds. She originally thought she could catch up with Xia En''s back. As a result, within a few days, Mr. Captain was left far behind again. ?This feeling is really hard to describe. ??Joy murmured to himself: "Maybe... this is the real genius?" As the first crew member to board the ship, Joey can be said to have witnessed Shanes growth along the way. ?In such a short period of time, from an ordinary person who is heavily in debt to the current third-level mystical practitioner, if this is not considered a genius, then I am afraid there will be no geniuses in the world! Inexplicably, Joey remembered the words he heard when he got on the boat The journey of the great captain Shane is about to begin! ?At the time, she just felt that the captain was a little too confident and too arrogant. ?However, now, Joey discovered that Xia En was indeed walking on this path step by step and firmly. ?Perhaps one day in the future, the captain will really be named "great" and be known and remembered by future generations? I hope that by then, there will still be a place for me next to Mr. Captain. ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Joey looked at Shane and asked: "Mr. Captain, are we about to set off?" Xia En nodded: "Yes, you go and inform Fei Ya and the others." As soon as everyone returns to the ship, set off immediately! Yes, Captain! ??Take advantage of the time to gather other crew members on the island. ??Xia En was the first to return to the [Black Swan] to conduct the acceptance of the last enhancement. Dont forget, after setting foot on the ancestral island of the Sirens, Shane also invested all the remaining [Filth Crystals] in strengthening the hull of the ship. Now, its time to harvest. Hull: Deep fear! Quality: Epic Description: Under the influence of "Filth Crystal", the hull of this ship has undergone strange changes. Effect 1: Fear Barrier - Your ship''s hull will make weaker enemies instinctively frightened, causing them to have terrifying hallucinations. Moreover, according to the strength of the fear emotion, a defensive barrier can be opened to block incoming attacks. Effect 2: Fear ChargeYour hull is eager to spread fear. When accelerating the charge, it will continue to accumulate frightening momentum and increase the speed! The longer the acceleration time and the faster the speed, the stronger the power and momentum of the charge! This is...the fear beyond death! Purple epic! ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. ?More than 100 [Filth Crystal] points, the rewards given are very generous, and the hull has its own name. ?From the appearance, the color of the hull of the [Black Swan] has obviously become darker. ?Although the lines of mithril can still be seen, the tone of the main body has become dark and dim, reminiscent of a night sky with a few stars hanging on it. If you look carefully. It seems that some chaotic illusions can be seen from this darkness. ?Like tangled black shadows, like terrifying giants from the deep sea, and like countless dark and chaotic hair... ?Of course, when Xia En saw such a scene, he did not feel fear, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. ?So much so that he couldn''t help but reach out and touch the hull. Hum ??The hull of the ship trembled slightly, as if responding to Sean''s touch. Hmm, what a good boy. However, if the enemies saw this hallucination in a naval battle, they would probably be frightened to death. ?Just thinking about that scene made Xia En feel happy. In fact, the biggest change in the hull is not the color, but a thick and solid ram extending from the bottom of the bow! This is a real unexpected surprise. Previously, Xia En originally planned to install a collision angle on Silver Moon Island, but due to the lack of suitable materials and the construction period, he put it on hold. Later on, there was never a suitable opportunity to install it again. ?Maybe Xiao Hei heard Xia En''s wish, or maybe it was just a coincidence. During the strengthening of the ship''s hull, a dark, thick horn-like thing grew on its own. Coupled with the active skill [Fear Charge], [Black Swan]''s extremely fast speed will definitely become a killer weapon in naval battles! Which small boat can withstand this collision? A ship that rampages across the seas, destroying all enemies and spreading fear! ?How can that scene not make peoples hearts swell? Then, Xia En opened the panel to check. Name: Xia En Age: 18 years old Bloodline: Sea Tribe (thin); Succubus (extremely thin) Secret Path Occupation: Storm Reaver (Level 3) Career fit: 0/100 Ship: Black Swan (+1) Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (32%) Attributes: Firepower 36, Speed ??43, Solidity 50, Mystery 40 Comprehensive quality: 0.90.95! Durability: 150/150 Core components: Deep Terror (hull); Silent Kill (artillery); Gluttonous Monarch (steam turbine); Deep Keel... Talents: Plundering Storm, Body of Dragon, Heart of Ship... ????Skills: Power of Storm, Sword of Judgment... The completion of the strengthening of the hull not only made the [Sturdiness] attribute break through the 50 mark, but also increased the overall quality by 0.05 again. ?This luxurious panel made Xia En couldn''t help but smile. Now, if he were to face the previous [Black Stone Dragon Turtle], he would probably be able to easily defeat him without transforming. Facing the tide of dragon-turned-monsters in the Blood Lake again, he would never be so embarrassed. But even so, my overall quality has not reached 1? ??The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly, feeling that the requirements of [Eye of the Secret Sea] seemed a bit too strict. At this time, Xia En still had 358 newly obtained [Filthy Crystals] points, but he was not in a hurry to use them. Its not that he suddenly changed his temper and wanted to save them. Rather, it was because Xia En vaguely noticed that all the core components on the ship seemed to have reached a temporary "saturation" state. If you continue to invest in [Filthy Crystals], your returns may be very limited. It didnt take long. Several crew members returned to the [Black Swan]. ?These days, except for Joey, the temperament of Fei Ya, An and Xian Ge has changed a lot. The reason is that Xia En ordered them to take the initiative to fight against the dragon monsters on the island. This is not only to destroy monsters and complete the mission of the sirens, but also to exercise the skills and secret power of the crew. ?Especially, in the future, the probability of them encountering large monsters will only become higher and higher. Instead of sharpening their guns in the battle until then, it is better to let the crew become "monster hunters" as soon as possible and accumulate more experience. There is nothing more tempering than actual combat. Coincidentally, the strength of the monsters on this island is also within a reasonable range, neither too strong nor too weak. If you can''t beat him, you can at least escape. It is perfect to use as a whetstone. So, after a few days, even Xian Ge, who had always been naughty, gained a bit of a chilling temperament. Looking at the people in front of him, Xia En nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that your efforts these days have not been in vain." But there is a bigger challenge waiting for us next! Previously, the [Blood Duke] pursued us all the way, forcing us into this foggy sea, causing the [Black Swan] to be covered with bruises. Now, its time to make them pay! Xian Ge shouted in cooperation: "Ouch! Crush them!" ?Although the other crew members did not have such an exaggerated reaction, their eyes also showed perseverance. The previous experience of running away in a hail of shells was not pleasant at all. ?They all keep this grudge in their hearts! After boosting the morale of the crew, Xia En waved his hand. Set sail, set sail! Of course, before leaving the foggy sea, Xia En did not forget to go to the island where the sirens lived to say goodbye and explain the situation of the [Ancestor Island]. Since the ancient dragon''s heart, which is the core of pollution, has been purified, even the dragon''s blood has been divided up by Xia En and others. The dragon-turned monsters on [Ancestor Island] will only become weaker year by year. The impact of pollution will also gradually decline. The rest will depend on the efforts of the Krakens themselves. ?Shaen is not their nanny, so they cant rely on him for everything, right? To do this, it is already very benevolent and righteous. The Krakens also knew this, and expressed their deep gratitude to Xia En, and gave him the specialties of the island and about a hundred gold dragon coins in return. ?According to Natasha, these coins were left behind by batches of captains who stayed on the Kraken Islands. After all, money cant be spent here. Instead of leaving it on the island as a decoration, its better to give it to Xia En and the others as a favor. Xia En naturally accepted this. ?Who would dislike having too much money? ?In addition, Natasha also gave Shane a compass to help him navigate out of this foggy sea. ?Before leaving, Natasha opened her moist eyes and said in a charming yet humble tone. Are you really not going to stay another night? Just one night will do. Beside her, the twin sisters Lulu and Lily also cast similar glances. Sisters, mother and daughter, mermaid ?Xia En had to admit that at this moment, he was indeed tempted. But precisely because of this, Xia En shook his head firmly. If he doesnt leave, hes afraid he will sink into this gentle village forever! Everyone, see you soon. In the resentful eyes of all the sea monsters, the [Black Swan] gradually drifted away on the sea. But soon, they got into the sea, followed the ship, and sang a beautiful song together with their unique singing voices. The singing is diffused in the mist and drifts into the distance. The breeze is its chord, and the waves are its accent. The sky is clear and pleasant to the ear. ?In the chorus, Xia En felt a mysterious force acting on the Black Swan and himself. ?Slightly cool and humid, but also refreshing for the body and mind. Your actions have earned the gratitude of the Sirens! Obtained status: Blessing of the Siren! ?Quality: Rare Description: The Krakens bless you and your ship! When you are on the sea, your luck will be slightly improved! Your ship will not overturn or sink before the hull durability drops by 30! A very practical little status. ?Xia En looked at the sirens around him and nodded to them. ?In the future, he may forget many things, but the songs he heard in this archipelago and those regrets will probably remain in his heart for a long time. Three days later. ?Following the guidance of the compass, Xia En drove the [Black Swan] gradually to the border of the foggy sea. On this day, he encountered the ghost ship with blue fire again. ??However, compared to the panic and anxiety last time, Xia En''s mentality was much calmer this time. Even a little bit of curiosity and expectation. ??Deep! Sister, I''m here~ ?Xiao Hei takes the initiative to sound the whistle to attract the other party''s attention. ?This method was indeed effective. The ghost ship''s course shifted slightly, as if it was paying attention. by The sound of the sea breeze blowing the sails carries a hint of doubt. Diamond Starseems a little curious as to why this ship has changed its appearance. ?Xia En wanted to get in touch with it again. But I dont know if its because hes aloof or shy, or because hes busy with other things. ?After a brief encounter with the Black Swan, the ghost ship turned around and headed towards the depths of the mist. Seeing this, Xia En had no choice but to give up. We drove in the fog for another half day, around evening. Finally, the bow of the [Black Swan] pierced the fog and came to the clear and cloudless sea. Finallycome out! ?Shaan took a deep breath of fresh air, with an encouraging smile on his face. ?Other crew members also looked happy and took a long breath. The humid environment full of fog is really unpleasant. ??But it wasnt long before we sailed out of the foggy sea. From the distant sea, a shrill whistle sounded. ?On the sea that was dyed blood by the setting sun, a fleet headed by a blood-colored ship came menacingly, like a pack of ferocious hungry wolves! Blood Dukeattacks again! (End of this chapter) Chapter 147 [Black Swan] VS [Blood Duke]! Chapter 147 [Black Swan] VS [Blood Duke]! The sun sets in the west. ?In the reflection of the setting sun, the sea level is gradually infected, showing an indifferent blood color. Duke Nova stood on the platform of the high-rise cabin. Over three meters tall, fat and bloated, she was like a mountain of fat. However, no one on the crew dared to cast a strange look at her because of her special appearance. The eyes of the sailors around him were filled with only awe and... a deep hidden fear. ?Gazing at the [Black Swan] in the distance, a sinister smile appeared on Duke Nova''s plump face. Little thing, Ive finally waited for you! ?These days, the [Blood Duke] and its fleet have been patrolling outside the foggy sea area. Like a seasoned hunter patiently waiting for the prey to appear. With so many ships and the crews on them, even if they do nothing, the cost of living alone is a huge expense. ?From this, we can also see Duke Novas determination to drive out the Black Swan. Just when the [Black Swan] sailed to the edge of the foggy sea, she sensed the restlessness of the Forbidden Ship Eagle, and immediately ordered the fleet to gather in this direction. ?This is how we can lock the position of the [Black Swan] so quickly. Just at this time. ?The butler Bruno on the side, holding a telescope, looked at the [Black Swan] on the sea, and said in surprise. My Lord Duke, something seems amiss! The appearance of [Black Swan] "Um?" Duke Nova frowned and picked up the telescope to look at it as well. In the field of vision, the [Black Swan], which was in tatters and almost shattered by artillery fire a few days ago, was suddenly brand new! Larger hull, taller masts and chimneys. ?The deck and outer hull became dark, deep, solid and clean, with a metallic sheen. ?Small silver lines are engraved on it, which not only gives it a mysterious temperament, but also adds a bit of unique beauty. ?Furthermore, just looking at the hull makes people instinctively feel uncomfortable. It seems that while looking at the hull of the ship, the hull of the ship is also looking at itself. ??And the thick, dark horn protruding from the bow of the ship also carries a lot of intimidation. What the hell! How did he repair the ship in a place like the foggy sea where no one shits? The first mate of the Blood Duke opened his eyes in astonishment: "You actually remodeled the entire hull?" Normally, just repairing a ship from a "battle-damaged" state would require the efforts of several shipwrights for more than ten days. ?Now, [Black Swan] is not only completely "healed", but also seems to have undergone a brand new upgrade. Considering the special environment of the foggy sea, it is undoubtedly even more unbelievable. Huh, its probably the effect of some special ancient relic. Duke Nova''s eyes were cold and deep, and his tone still contained strong confidence. But even if it is strengthened, it will never be a match for the [Blood Duke]. Today is destined to be the death day for these little mice! Hearing this, the ominous premonition in the butler Bruno''s heart became even stronger. ?In the last siege, it was his persistence that made Duke Nova put aside the contempt in his heart and pursue the Black Swan with all his strength. ?But even so, the [Black Swan] still seemed to be favored by the gods and escaped because of the ghost ship. Now, seeing the brand new [Black Swan] again seems to have verified Bruno''s worries. Its back! Moreover, it has become stronger! ?At this moment, a sailor exclaimed. Look! The ship is coming! Duke Nova and others looked towards the sea, showing a little surprise. Because, as the sailor says. ?The new, bigger and stronger [Black Swan], instead of choosing to escape, began to accelerate under the **** setting sun, rushing towards the [Blood Duke] fleet. ?Judging from this picture alone, it looks like a sweet and fat sheep charging at a pack of wolves without knowing its strength! Courage is admirable, but it only accelerates the process of self-destruction. Duke Nova sneered: "Send someone to use the forbidden ship sculpture to impose a curse, and at the same time let the priests take action." All frigates obeyed the order and surrounded the [Black Swan] with their horns. Today, we must catch everyone on that ship! ?Confidence is self-confidence, but this Duke is not a reckless person without brains. ??The Black Swan''s record of sinking several ships last time also left a deep impression on her. So, after seeing that the opponent did not retreat but advanced, Duke Nova made the most correct choice at the first time. ?Following her order, the evil and weird sacrificial ceremony was once again carried out deep in the cabin. The priests of the Deep Sea Church began to bless the [Blood Duke]. Just quickly. ??The first mate in charge of the sacrificial ceremony returned to the deck and reported in shock and confusion. Your Majesty, the forbidden ship sculpture...is broken! "What?" Duke Nova''s eyelids twitched, and he saw clearly what was in the box in the first mate''s hand. ??The ship sculpture that previously exuded a terrifying and weird aura has now turned into many fragments. ?Although they are still squirming, like living flesh and blood. But it cannot exert its previous effect. Duke Nova frowned and asked, "What happened?" The first mate quickly explained: I dont know either. I had just started to offer sacrifices when I saw the ship eagle began to tremble violently. The moment the blood flowed into its body, it began to fall apart, and finally it became like this. Duke Nova''s expression was uncertain. ?This forbidden ship sculpture, like the [Scarlet Coat of Arms], is a gift from the Scarlet Lord. It is also a relic of a powerful vampire with a rather extraordinary personality. ?Over the years, she has used the forbidden ship sculpture to defeat her enemies several times. But today, how could it suddenly break? ??Although he was a little reluctant to believe it, Duke Nova immediately thought of the cursed object of the ship sculpture[Black Swan]! Did that ship obtain any relic in the foggy sea that could counteract the curse? While she was thinking. ??The priest on the ship also trotted over in a hurry, his face full of panic. Captain, we can no longer hear the teachings of the Storm Goddess. Duke Nova''s frown deepened. ?She turned to look at the priests on the deck and found that these believers of the Storm Goddess were looking anxiously at the statue of the goddess in the center, which was as tall as one person. ??The statue of the Storm Goddess was as quiet and solemn as ever, but she did not respond to the calls of the believers. ?The drooped eyelids under the veil seem to indicate The goddess averted her gaze? Or, this time, the Storm Goddess is not on their side? What the **** is this Damn it, why did so many things happen today? I have a bad feeling 70% to 80% of the sailors who make a living on the sea are followers of the Storm Goddess. The sailors didnt feel much when the ships sculpture was shattered before, but the Storm Goddesss reaction caused a faint panic to spread on the ship. ?At this moment, a hoarse and solemn voice suddenly sounded. Everyone, get back to your place. So what if we dont have the blessing of the goddess? We can still crush that boat! Now, open fire on the enemy! Kill them all! Duke Nova looked around at the crew members, his eyes like a fierce lioness, fierce and majestic. She was able to become the consul of Duke Island because of more than just her hobby of cultivating male favorites. Its better to say Even though Duke Nova is so cruel, lustful, and has many shortcomings, she can still firmly hold the position of consul, which is enough to illustrate her strength and prestige. "kill!" "kill!" "kill!" In an instant, all the sailors cheered up and responded loudly, looking at the Black Swan on the sea with ferocious eyes. Because the ships on both sides are moving in opposite directions. Therefore, the distance between the [Black Swan] and [Blood Duke] fleets is shortening at an extremely fast speed. On the deck, Xia En looked at the **** ships coming from all directions, with fighting spirit surging in his eyes. He turned around and gave orders to the crew. Fei Ya, go to the turbine room and watch Xiao Zhan. Today... let him have a good time! "An, Xian Ge, you stay on the deck to deal with enemies who may board the ship." Finally, Shane looked at Joey and said seriously: "Joy, your task is the most difficult this time... prepare to summon a storm!" ??Joy hesitated and said: "I can''t fully control the power of the storm now, and it may affect the [Black Swan] itself." "fine." Xia En said: "What I want is to make this sea area chaotic. The more chaotic the better!" In a situation where one is against many, this is undoubtedly the simplest and crudest way to avoid being besieged. ??Joy felt the trust from the captain and nodded heavily: "I will do my best!" When all the crew members go to their posts and perform their duties. Shane heard a sharp whistling sound from high in the sky. ?He looked up and saw, high up, several cannonballs carrying a powerful momentum, heading straight for the Black Swan''s position. [Blood Duke] and its **** ships opened fire! ??The cannons on that ship are of quite good quality, with a relatively wide range, and their hit rate and power are much better than those of ordinary pirate ship cannons. During the last battle, [Black Swan] had already realized this with its body. Only this time, things are different. Without the 10-point speed reduction of [Blood Sacrifice Curse], coupled with the growth of [Gluttonous Monarch] during this period... The speed of the [Black Swan] is almost twice that of the last battle! ??Xia En walked to the rudder of the ship, held the solid steering wheel, and thought to himself. Xiao Hei, lets go! Oh oh oh oh oh! ! Accompanied by a high-pitched whistle like a swan''s call, driven by the surging power of the steam core, the [Black Swan] accelerated again and charged towards the rain of cannonballs falling from the sky. It is hard to imagine that a ship can be described as "sensitive". But at this time, the silhouette of the Black Swan really looked like a vigorous cheetah. Shuttle flexibly and elegantly between the bullets. ?It seems to violate the basic laws of physics. ?After the ship spirit level was upgraded to LV4, the compatibility between Xia En and Xiao Hei improved again, and their control over the entire ship reached a new level. At the moment, the [Black Swan] has almost become an extension of Xia En''s body, and there is no sluggishness or sluggishness in its control. ?Huge water columns rose one after another from the sea. ?Each cannonball bombarded with astonishing power, and those water columns caused the hull of the Black Swan to shake slightly. However, not a single shell fell on the [Black Swan]. ??The first round of shots fired by the Blood Duke''s fleet all failed. At this time, Xia En took out a mist core made of mist from the [Ring of Apocalypse] and used his secret power to activate it. The Mist of the Underworld! Since we have said that we want to make this sea area as chaotic as possible, we must naturally use all available means. ?This kind of mist has very unique characteristics. It will not be dispersed by storms and can even exist in sea water, so there is no need to worry about conflicting with the storm summoned by Joey. Of course, Xia En did not forget to ask Xian Ge to cast a purifying spell on the crew to avoid being accidentally injured. Gradually. The dark red, ominous mist began to spread to the surrounding seas with the Black Swan as the center. Such fog obstructed the sight of the gunners on the Blood Duke and the **** ships, causing their bombardment accuracy to drop again. at the same time. Many sailors also noticed... The wind is blowing! ??The sea breeze blew noisily across the deck, the thin clouds dyed blood-colored by the setting sun gathered together, and the waves on the sea began to become restless. It was as if there was an invisible big hand stirring up the celestial phenomena in this sea area. Storm? This is the power of the Storm Goddess. Duke Nova looked up at the changes in the clouds, and enlightenment arose in his heart. "It seems that there is a storm priest of high rank on his ship, which prevents the priest on my ship from summoning the blessing of the storm." This situation is actually not uncommon in naval battles. After all, most ships will be equipped with storm priests. Both sides initiate prayers to the goddess, and it is impossible for the storm goddess to respond to both sides at the same time. ?However, generally speaking, the Storm Goddess will choose not to take sides and treat her followers equally. Like the current situation, it can only mean... The Storm Priest on the Black Swan is far above my own Priest! But, so what? Duke Nova smiled: "After all, it''s just a little trick. In the face of absolute strength, you can only be crushed and swept away." At this time, in addition to the [Blood Duke], there are five **** ships! With six against one, I have the advantage! Not to mention, she, a third-level secret pather, is sitting here. In fact, Duke Nova is already prepared. When the Black Swan approaches the Blood Duke, she will lead her men to board the opponent''s ship''s side as soon as possible to end this battle! ! ?Suddenly, a deep muffled sound came from the dark red mist. Suddenly, a captain''s exclamation sounded from the communication device in front of Duke Nova. The Fang is hit! The Fang is hit! Following that, muffled sounds sounded one after another. ??The **** ship, which had been enveloped in the fog, fell into a panic. "Ahem...this mist is poisonous! Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in water!" We couldnt pinpoint the enemys position! The ships firing was almost silent! Why do I feel that its firepower is getting stronger and stronger? ?Amid the chaotic communication, a captain suddenly burst out with a high-pitched shout. This is Captain Kirby of the Fang, I saw it, its right here with me! Duke Nova decisively ordered: "I will pull the ship over immediately, Kebi, no matter what method you use, stop it for one minute!" Stop [Black Swan]me? On the deck of the Fang, Kebi was stunned. ?In just a few minutes, several craters were left on the deck of his ship, wooden blocks were torn apart, many sailors died directly from the bombardment, and many fine cracks appeared on both sides of the ship. The situation can be described as quite miserable. ?The firepower of the [Black Swan] was extremely fierce, and it was silent when launched, like a killer hiding in the fog. Furthermore, I dont know if its Kebis illusion. He even felt that the purpose of those cannonballs was not to destroy the ship, but to kill people! Otherwise, how could each one of them hit the sailors on the deck so accurately? ?The previous destruction of the four **** ships also made Kebi extremely fearful of the [Black Swan]. ??Although the reward given by the Duke is good, you still have to live to get it! ?Just as he was feeling frightened, Kebi suddenly heard a clear whistle and turned his head in the direction of the sound. The next moment, his pupils suddenly narrowed. I saw that on the sea where the wind and waves were gradually rising, surrounded by dark red fog... The Black Swan came across like a black ghost. The majestic bow broke through the waves in front, stirring up a series of snow-white foam and ripples on both sides of the hull. ?The thick ramming horn was slightly raised, and the dark and deep hull squirmed and changed. In an instant, it seemed to have turned into a swollen and deformed piece of flesh, into a dead and strange mud, or into a deep sea monster covered with tentacles! ??But no matter what kind of existence it was, it gave Kebi an unprecedented fear in his heart, gradually bringing his mind to the edge of collapse. "monster!" The ship itself...is a monster! ?Kepi roared desperately, wanting to vent the information he saw and the fear in his heart. Its coming! Its coming Boom! ! Amidst the huge crash, the voice in the communication device stopped abruptly. Not to mention the other **** ship captains who were watching, even the Duke of Nova was secretly frightened by the fear in Kebi''s tone. ??What kind of horrific situation would it take for a man who has experienced battles to become so scared? It only takes less than a minute. The "Blood Duke" arrived at the location where the "Fang" was just now. ?Here, they only saw two broken pieces of shipwrecks that were sinking into the sea. It can be seen that the "Fang" suffered an extremely violent impact and was broken straight from the waist. Seawater poured into the cabin, causing it to sink. Just this one impact completely destroyed it. "this" ?Bruno looked a little dull. He had never seen such a barbaric and brutal way of naval warfare. Normally speaking, shouldnt we launch long-range bombardment first, and then board the ship for a boarding battle? How could a captain directly use ships as weapons and destroy other ships by ramming them? According to common sense, when two ships collide, the attacking ship itself will also be damaged by the recoil force. ! Boom! Before Bruno could figure this out, the sounds of cannonballs hitting the ship were heard one after another. [Fire Lion] was under shelling! Requesting support! Duke Nova''s face was as gloomy as water. She guessed the purpose of the [Black Swan]. ?The other party wants to use this special mist to destroy the **** ship one by one and extract her minions. The speed of the [Blood Duke] cannot catch up with the [Black Swan], so it will naturally be kited and exhausted. Since active pursuit is ineffective, we should simply use the stupidest method and wait for the rabbit. ?Thinking of this, Duke Nova ordered: "All **** ships, gather next to the [Blood Duke]!" The duration of this fog must be limited. When the fog dissipates, its time for us to fight back! ? It has to be said that Duke Nova has indeed rich experience in naval warfare and quickly adjusted the distribution structure of the fleet. ??As long as a ship is attacked, the [Blood Duke] in the center can respond immediately. However, what Duke Nova didnt know was. At this moment, a dark figure has dived under the sea... (End of this chapter) Chapter 148 Death of Duke Nova Chapter 148 Death of Duke Nova Under the increasingly restless sea. ?A shadow passed through the turbulent undercurrent, quietly approaching the bottom of the "Blood Duke" and its **** ship like a swimming fish. It was Xia En who entered the [submersible] state. In fact, compared to [The Mist of the Underworld] and the storm summoned by Joey. ?This projected body is his real trump card and the basis for his victory over the [Blood Duke]! At this time, Xia En was doing two things. Sometimes the [Black Swan] on the sea launched harassing bombardments against the fleet, and sometimes it changed its position to attract the attention of the enemies on the [Blood Duke]. And his projected body approached the bottom of the [Blood Duke] at full speed. ?The undercurrent around him not only did not bring a sense of blockage and stagnation, but actually became a faint assist for him. From the deep sea further below, there was also a gentle call. Seems to be welcoming his arrival. ?This smooth and brisk feeling made Xia En''s mouth slightly raise. ??His combat power on the island is certainly not weak, but of course he will not forget that the world under the sea is his home court! It didnt take long. The dark red hull of the [Blood Duke] is already in sight. I have to say that the size of this ship is indeed one of the largest ships that Sean has ever seen. Only the Viper can compete with it. ?Especially looking up from the sea, the shadow it casts is quite spectacular, like a mountain floating on the sea. ?Now, what Xia En wants to do is to destroy this mountain! It must be fun to dismantle such a big ship, right? At this moment, Xia En inexplicably remembered the first time he met a pirate. Facing the [Blood Wolf], he, who was not yet a Mystic, was forced to use the ship-breaking tactic, dragging the pirates on the ship into the sea and hunting them one by one. This moment is exactly like that time. It''s just that both the enemies he faced and Xia En himself were completely different from those days. [Blood Wolf], [Blood Duke] Fate is really a wonderful thing. But its time to end this. Xia En held the [Giant Wristwheel] on his wrist and said to himself very calmly. Transformation. Boom, boom, boom, boom! ??A terrifying roar erupted from Xia En''s body. ??With the influx of the secret power of [Giant Wristwheel], an unprecedented tsunami seemed to have occurred inside this projected body! ?The violent secret power bursts out with heat like magma, rushing endlessly in the body! The non-existent, illusory flesh and blood, bones, blood vessels, and organs... expanded at an incredible speed. Different from the previous transformations, this time the secret power was stimulated as if it had broken through some kind of restriction. Made Shane become taller than before. Three meters, five meters, eight meters ?His height continued to skyrocket, all the way exceeding the previous limit of ten meters, and finally settled at... Fifteen meters! The potential of [Giant Wristwheel], a forbidden relic, is actually affected by my own physique and cannot be fully unleashed. Now that I have been promoted to the third level, I have broken through the original limitations. Xia En had a clear understanding in his heart: "Fifteen meters is still not the limit of [Giant Wristwheel], but the limit of my body!" He couldn''t help but think of the corpse of the King of Giants, which was more than thirty meters high. One day, can he reach that level? Or, higher? ?These distracting thoughts flashed away in his mind. Xia En felt the huge power filling his body, and an emotion that was about to be released surged in his chest. Roar! He let out a low roar and pulled his right fist back sharply. ??The body is stretching and contracting, making banging and exploding sounds, constantly accumulating terrifying power. Like a siege crossbow stretched to its limit. The next moment. With a loud bang, the fist like a mountain fell directly on the solid hull of the "Blood Duke". The terrifying power spread from the bottom of the ship and quickly spread to the entire ship, causing the "Blood Duke" to tilt to one side uncontrollably. ˡ Amidst the muffled sound, everyone on the ship felt the deck beneath their feet shake violently. ?Several sailors were unable to stand firmly and were almost thrown off the deck. ?Steward Bruno quickly grabbed the mast next to him, looking a little flustered: "What happened?" ?On the sea, there was no figure of the [Black Swan], and its shelling still fell on the **** ship from time to time. Since it was not the [Black Swan], what could it be that attacked them? Quick, look! In the sea... The exclamation of a sailor attracted everyone''s attention. ?People quickly looked towards the surrounding sea. They saw a huge shadow emerging from the surface of the sea as the waves gradually became larger, darkening the nearby water like ink. Due to the shroud of fog and the distortion of the sea water, it is difficult for people to see the true appearance of the shadow. ??You can only vaguely see the opponent''s huge size and the weird feeling of oppression coming from the deep sea. From its surface, there seemed to be some wriggling and growing dark things extending out. ??As its body swayed, the seawater was constantly stirred, forming waves that were stronger than the previous ones, causing the hull of the "Blood Duke" to sway slightly. Oh my god, what the **** is that? Is it a monster in the deep sea? "Goddess above, please protect me..." ?Seeing such a scene, the sailors panicked and caused a commotion. Although the previous shelling and ship ramming attacks by the [Black Swan] were powerful, they were still within the scope of normal naval battles, and the sailors had experienced them many times. However, the appearance of this "sea monster" now exceeded their expectations, and they didn''t even know what it was. The unknown is the source of fear! Duke Nova''s expression became a little ugly again. She didnt think it was such a coincidence that they were attacked by a sea monster just as they were fighting the Black Swan. This must be something the captain did! But what is this... ! Before Duke Nova could figure out the origin of the giant thing in the sea, another muffled sound came from the bottom of the boat. At the same time, the hull of the [Blood Duke] shook violently again. And this is just the beginning! ! Boom! Boom! The third stroke, the fourth stroke, the fifth stroke ?Such a ferocious and violent attack, even with the strength of the [Blood Duke], is unbearable. ?The deck was creaking, the crew was swaying, and all kinds of debris were rolling around as the ship tilted. The worst thing is that the ocean has been disturbed by invisible forces, and the celestial phenomena in the nearby sea areas have changed as a result. The storm is coming! Bad news always comes one after another. Your Majesty, the cabin, the cabin is leaking! The exclamations from the sailors below the cabin made Duke Nova''s heart sink again. But she is worthy of being a strong person who has been in charge of Duke Island for so many years. After a brief panic, she made the most correct choice. Raise the sails and move forward at full speed! Second-level Mystics and above, go to the cabin with me and deal with that guy! Either get rid of it or kill it! With that said, Duke Nova led his men and walked towards the lower level of the cabin. At this time, the sailors in the cabin were busy repairing the cracked hull, and a layer of water had accumulated on the ground. But fortunately, the [Blood Duke] is big enough. Even if the cabin leaks, the incoming seawater cannot fill all the cabins at once. However, the situation is still worse than Duke Nova thought. ?In just a short time, seven or eight holes appeared on the ship, and many cracks were spread throughout the hull. ! At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from not far away. Duke Nova''s eyes narrowed, his fat body turned into a blood shadow, and he rushed to the scene at an extremely fast speed. ?Nearby, several crew members were looking at the wall in front of them in fear. Horrifying spider web-like cracks are emerging on it. Boom! The next second, the wooden board was penetrated by a black shadow, and then exploded into countless fragments. The dark sea water immediately rushed into it along the hollow. ?An unlucky crew member was unable to dodge and was hit by the impact of the black shadow. His entire body exploded like fireworks under the huge force, dyeing the sea water blood-colored. At this moment, the secret traveler who came first was able to see clearly ?That black shadow is a huge fist! Fist? ?The crew members widened their eyes in astonishment, not knowing whether to doubt their own eyes or their own cognition. ?Doesnt this mean that the monster outside the [Blood Duke] under the sea is actually a human being? ?His fist alone is so big, so how big should his body be? At this time. ?Those dark, dark hands suddenly grabbed both sides of the hollow board and tore outwards. O ??The sound of the overwhelmed wooden planks was mixed with the roaring sea water. The Mystics saw the giant''s purpose. He wanted to use this big hole to open a bigger wound on the "Blood Duke"! A second-level Mystic Pathfinder with the blood of the Sea Clan was the first to arrive at the scene. He roared angrily, and his body continued to expand under the wash of sea water, reaching a height of about three meters. ??More sharp teeth, smooth scales, and gills appeared on his body. ?Such a strong man is enough to serve as the captain of a pirate ship, and also makes the sailors next to him look in awe. ?However, he has just activated the power of his bloodline. ?In the sea water, a fist came with great force and hit him hard. Bang! The Mystic of the Sea Tribe twisted and deformed under the huge force, and exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Immediately afterwards, it shot out with a bang under this punch. ?Amidst the collapse of the wooden planks and sea water, the Mystic Pathfinder of the Sea Clan smashed open the wall of the cabin and directly hit the hull on the other side of the ship, quickly making no sound. One punch to kill a second-level Mystic Pathfinder instantly! ?Such a sight made the nearby crew members look frightened and hurriedly fled towards the cabin that was not flooded by the sea water. ?At this time, Duke Nova arrived here with other men. She looked into the depths of the water that was dyed red. Coincidentally, in the big hole, she saw a pair of indifferent, cold eyes. At this moment, even Duke Nova could not help but tremble in his heart, feeling unspeakable fear. But soon, she took out a **** scepter and pointed it directly at the huge shadow in the sea. No matter who you are, die! In the surrounding sea water, blood-colored threads were woven into the shape of a sharp blade. Then, the **** blade cut straight towards the giant''s body. The seawater it touched also spread out blood-colored lines. The bodies of the crew members who had died from the squeeze quickly melted in the blood-colored lines. This is the unique innate ability of Duke Nova Blood Dissolution! She can melt any flesh that comes into contact with the power of her blood, and can even integrate it into her own body. With the blessing of the third-level secret power, this melting power can be described as extremely domineering. However, it was only in the blink of an eye. ??The giant shadow that was still outside the big cave disappeared before. It easily dodged the attack of the blood blade and was not affected by any blood lines. So fast Duke Nova felt awe-struck. It was only then that she realized that the giant in the sea was not only incredibly powerful, but also had terrifying speed! Boom! ?Seawater poured into the cabin, and another hole exploded behind Duke Nova. At the same time, a big hand grabbed her fat body. A shield with a blood-colored halo appeared around Duke Nova, blocking the attack. ?However, her body was still swept out of the cabin by the sea water and came into the dark sea. ?This is exactly Xia Ens purpose. He wants to kill this third-level secret pather on his home court! ?Suddenly being swept into the sea water, Duke Nova did not panic. Instead, a coldness flashed in his eyes. A consul like her will naturally not lack the means to temporarily move freely in the sea. The moment she came into contact with the giant''s palm, it was also the time for her to use her killing move! ?Many blood blades and blood lines turned into a terrifying **** storm, attacking Xia En''s arm, trying to cut through his skin and penetrate deep into his body. Dang! clang! clang! The **** blade collided with the giant''s skin, but it made a dull sound like metal and stone colliding. Duke Nova watched helplessly as cracks appeared on the **** blade and then shattered on its own. He couldn''t help but his eyelids twitching slightly. This guys skin is so hard? But what made her happy was that the blood lines with the power of [dissolution] had spread upwards along the giant''s arm. "As long as the blood streak reaches his heart, no matter how strong his body is, he will definitely die!" And if I drink the blood of this giant, my strength will definitely soar again! ??Duke Nova looked at Xia En greedily. In her eyes, the other party was like a prey caught in a spider web and entangled again and again, with nowhere to escape. ?At the same time, Xia En''s movements did not pause at all, punching Duke Nova''s shield one punch after another. ?Under this terrifying force, the shield continued to ripple, and fine cracks appeared vaguely. The surrounding sea water surged and undulated, almost forming a whirlpool in the sea, making the "Blood Duke" and the **** ships teetered, as if they would be swallowed by the sea and storm at any time. Finally, he saw blood streaks spreading to the giant''s chest. Duke Nova raised his scepter with a devilish smile on his lips: "Farewell..." ? Many **** lines emerged from her body surface, echoing the blood lines on the giant''s body, lighting up with a scarlet halo. However, the expected feeling of influx of power did not appear. What she felt on the other side of the blood pattern was just... Nothingness! It was as if what the blood streaks covered was not the giant''s body at all, but just a mass of air or sea water. How is it possible? Duke Nova was shocked and felt extremely ridiculous. This giant in the sea is clearly standing in front of me alive, but why is it "nothingness"? Suddenly, Duke Nova remembered the legend about the "Shadow without Form" that was spread among the Vampires. Shadow without formSilver Moon IslandBlack Swan Could it be that ?She vaguely guessed the truth of this incident, but at the same time, a heavy punch like a cannonball fell on the protective shield again. Click! ?With a crisp sound, the shield collapsed into countless blood-colored light spots. Obviously, no matter what the truth is, before that, she has to kill this giant first! Duke Nova''s eyes were solemn and gloomy, and he murmured: "You forced me to do this..." Immediately afterwards, more and more **** lines extended from her face, limbs, and palms, forming a rose flower pattern. ?Her plump skin split open like a flower, revealing the candle-like, semi-solidified, semi-fluid flesh and blood inside... at the same time. On the [Blood Duke] and its **** ship, the sailors looked uneasily at the blurry figures in the sea. The Duke is so strong, he will definitely win, right? ?Originally, everyone firmly believed in this point. But after seeing the shadow of the giant, their thoughts changed subtly. That giant is a monster... Could it be related to [Black Swan]? Isnt it possible? ?While the crew members were whispering, suddenly Bruno on the deck let out a scream. "ah!!" "Whats wrong with you?" Everyone looked at him in confusion. It hurts so much, it hurts so much Your Majesty, why are you doing this? ?While wailing, a rose made of blood lines appeared on Bruno''s face. Immediately, his body quickly melted and turned into a puddle of flesh and blood that looked like a candle that had not yet solidified. Such a sight stunned everyone on the boat. But soon, some secret travelers in the crowd screamed and began to melt. "This is the Duke''s brand! Duke Nova is draining their power..." Just as this person said, all those who appeared on the secret path with rose blood patterns were turned into melted flesh and blood in a few breaths, and flowed along the hull of the ship into the deep sea. It didnt take long. A scarlet, misshapen "flesh candle" appeared on the sea. At this time, Duke Nova was already over ten meters tall, and the wriggling flesh and blood continued to blend into it, making him become more bloated and obese. ?The human face at the top looks so weird and uncoordinated. Hahahaha, the real battle has just begun now! Across from her, the giant spoke amid the rolling waves. Start? No, its going to end soon. Now, in my name, judge your sins! Xia Ens voice was rumbling and majestic like a god. Double Ship Soul! Power of the storm! ?As he moved his thoughts, huge and surging power was crazily poured into the giant''s body. A stronger wave rolled around him, chaotic winds wrapped around his body, and thick clouds rotated around him. At this moment, he seemed to be the master of this sea area! Even though this was not a natural storm, Xia En could still feel that he was blessed by it. ??Rumble Pitch-black thunder was generated in Xia En''s hands, and quickly transformed into the shape of a spear. ??This is the dark thunder storm plundered from the promotion ritual. Although it can only be used once, it also became a real killing move at this time. ?At this moment, Duke Nova felt an extremely strong sense of crisis in his heart. What''s going on with this storm? ?What is that dark thunder? Why did his breath suddenly increase sharply? But at this moment, Xia En, who had accumulated his momentum to the extreme, had already thrown the spear in his hand! ??Dazzling and bright black, mixed with deep blue and blood, blooming together. ?In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black spear carried the sword intent of the [Sword of Judgment], cut through the sky and waves, and approached Duke Nova''s face. ??The dark thunder spear was reflected in his pupils, and Duke Nova''s eyes showed a complex look of confusion, shock and fear. She roared unwillingly, and her flesh and blood turned into countless weapons in an attempt to stop him. ?However, the power of this spear far exceeded her expectations. ??The spear pierced the bloated body, pierced the heart hidden under the flesh, and left a terrifying ravine hundreds of meters long on the sea surface. ??The dark thunder turned into dark flames, spreading from top to bottom, greedily devouring Duke Nova''s flesh and blood. ?Subsequently, the pitch-black candle flames suddenly lit up, and the extremely high temperature quickly evaporated the surrounding seawater, turning the sea surface and clouds into darkness. Candles, arent they just for burning? No, how is that possible? How could I die here Amidst the burning sound of the black flames, Duke Nova''s unwilling roar could be vaguely heard. No matter how hard she tried, she could not stop the burning of the flames and the loss of vitality. She could only dissolve into the candlelight in despair. The survivors on the [Blood Duke] fleet all looked at this scene blankly and could not even say a word. "finally" ?Looking at Duke Nova who was gradually melting away, Xia En''s mood was rarely complicated. His grudge with Duke Nova can probably be traced back to the old butler at the beginning of time travel. ?Later on, the Duke of Nova was like a mountain weighing on Sean''s heart, bringing him great pressure. To this day, with the death of Duke Nova, the old grudges have been resolved. Soon, Xia En gathered his thoughts and looked at the sinking [Blood Duke], with a flash of expectation in his eyes. The enemy has been dealt with. Next, its time for happy bag licking! (End of this chapter) Chapter 149 Fame spreads far and wide, Chaosin Islands! Chapter 149: Fame spreads far and wide, causing chaos in the Islands! Once the Duke of Nova died and witnessed such a horrific scene, the already demoralized sailors naturally lost their desire to resist. ?However, due to the large number of people and ships, the process of cleaning the battlefield and counting the loot was much more arduous than Sean expected. The good news is. Due to the forbidden spell cast by Duke Nova before his death, most of the mystics on the "Blood Duke" fleet were killed or injured, and the resistance to clearing the ships was reduced again. The bad news is. ?Shane had broken up the ship too hard before, coupled with the aftermath of his battle with Duke Nova and the storm that had not calmed down, the "Blood Duke" was inevitably sinking into the depths of the sea. This is all money! Such a big ship, I dont know how many gold dragon coins it can sell. Looking at the [Blood Duke] being gradually submerged by the sea water, Xia En''s heart was bleeding. ??Although salvagers and [deep-sea submersibles] could be sent to salvage the sunken ship, the loss of the ship alone made him so heartbroken that he couldn''t breathe. Fortunately, after the "Duke Nova Candle" burned out, Shane gained a lot of benefits from her wreckage. Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (40%) Talent: Blood Power (Precious) (Epic)! Description: The power of blood in your body has grown again! Due to the effect of "Dragon''s Blood Secret", you can use blood energy to create shapes without losing blood! Armor, wings, shields, weapons...the strength after shaping depends on your physique and the total amount of blood invested. I have to say that Duke Nova is worthy of being a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, and he has brought quite a lot of experience to Xia En. Furthermore, because of her bloodline, the talent [Blood Power] has been upgraded again. In other words, I can fly now? Shaans focus instantly went off track. He has also tested it before and found that the control ability of the [Precious] quality [Blood Power] is not enough to support the flight of blood wings. ??And every time you shape the wings, you have to consume blood, which is always a bit outweighing the gains. Now, the [Epic]-level [Blood Power] seems to have gotten rid of this restriction? ?However, now is not the time to test new abilities. We havent finished touching the corpse yet! Soon, Xia En found two more good things. One of them is the **** scepter. Blood Royal Power Quality: Epic Type: Relic Description: The scepter of the lost Kingdom of Turin was stained with blood due to the contamination of special secret power. Effect 1: Authoritythe majesty of the ancient king still remains on this scepter. Those who hold a scepter will have their majesty strengthened, and their words and orders will be more convincing. Effect 2: Spell PowerWhen holding the scepter, the power, effect, and range of the spells cast will be moderately improved! Effect 3: Cruelty - This scepter is contaminated, and the character of the person who comes into contact with the scepter will become more irritable and violent. The taste of power is fascinating. This scepter may also be the key to a certain door, right? The quality of "epic" is enough to show that it is extraordinary. But after seeing its three effects, Xia En felt a bit tasteless. ?With the number and loyalty of his crew, there is no need to rely on the authority brought by this scepter. The only useful thing is to enhance the effect of the spell, making it a good staff. But looking at the third negative effect, Xia En is not worried about letting Joey or other men use it. So, Duke Novas cruel character is also related to this scepter? ?Xia En was thinking randomly without any sympathy in his heart. Since you have chosen this power, you must naturally bear its price. What concerns him more... In fact, it is the reference to key in the description. Key? Key to what door? Since it is the scepter of the kingdom, could it be the door of some treasure house? Suddenly, Xia En thought of something that he had ignored for a long time. Duke Nova, why is he called a Duke? ?This question sounds outrageous at first, but upon closer consideration, it reveals certain information. ? ?For a long time, Sean and the residents of the island have called the island Duke Island as a matter of course. The governor of the island is Duke Nova, but they have never thought about the reason behind it. As far as Shane knows. ??The vampires in this world are not divided into levels according to titles such as "Viscount" and "Earl", but are called according to several levels of race. In the Federation of the Seven Seas, there has also been no such thing as a title for a long time. ?Then where does this "Duke" come from? DukeKingdom of Turinscepter? ??Xia En had a guess in his mind. The name of the Duke may come from the lost Kingdom of Turin. Possibly for various reasons, the scepter of the King of Turin fell into the hands of the ducal family and has been passed down from generation to generation until today. ??The possibility of this guess coming true is not low. ??But Xia En knew too little information. He only knew the name "Kingdom of Turin", and it was definitely unrealistic to delve deeper into it. Leave the scepter in the space ring for a while first. If there are no clues, its not a bad idea to sell it for money. Its an epic relic after all! Speaking of space rings, we have to mention another harvest of Xia En. Ring of Apocalypse (Platinum) ??This space ring worn by Duke Nova is also produced by [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce], but the quality is two levels higher than the "silver" that Sean had before. ?It is precisely because of its extremely high quality that it was not destroyed by the flames ignited by hidden mines. After using mental power to break through the original restrictions. Xia En opened it and was stunned. ??The space in this ring is extremely spacious, more than dozens of times that of Sean''s. ??The thing that makes people unable to take their eyes off the most is the golden mountain of gold coins! At least a thousand gold dragon coins are lying there peacefully, exuding the charm of money. Xia En had a deal with the Sea Clan and thought he was no longer poor, but the wealth in this space ring still made his heart beat fast and he was very excited. Except for gold coins. The ring also contains a considerable amount of potion materials, forbidden relics, rare metals... Hand gold, mithril...even the [Steam Heart] that Xia En needs, there are several of them! With this wave of harvest, the materials required for strengthening have been directly increased to more than 300%! Get rich, get rich! Xia Ens face was filled with the joy of the harvest. At this time, he suddenly understood the psychology of those pirates very well. The taste of such a profit-free business was really unstoppable. The golden belt that kills people and sets them on fire! ??Moreover, this [Ring of Apocalypse] is not all the harvest, the remaining four **** ships, as well as the survivors and property on the [Blood Duke] will all become Shane''s trophies! Speaking of which, since Duke Nova is dead, the [Blood Duke] has also sunk..." Isnt there nothing that can hinder me on the Dukes Island? ?Shane has no grudges against the people on Duke Island in general. But he knew that there were indeed many cronies of Duke Nova on Duke Island, and they might one day take revenge on him. On the other hand, it was clear that the Duke of Nova would not take all his property with him. There is probably her treasury on Duke Island! Before the Federation notices and sends a new consul, this is the best opportunity to raid Duke Island! An opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. ??Xia En''s eyes flashed with a cold light and he murmured to himself. He has not forgotten that more than ten islands including Duke Island have listed him as a bounty target. Since they regard themselves as pirates, they have no choice but to do things that pirates would do. ?This action is also a warning and a statement. Tell those islands with vampire forces that revenge from the [Black Swan] is coming! half a month later. The Chaos Islands. As you can see from the name, this archipelago is different from ordinary islands. Simply put, this is an island that belongs to pirates! ?This archipelago has no consul of its own and is not under the jurisdiction of the Federation. ?Every day, pirate ships of all sizes come to this archipelago for their own purposes, whether for trading, supplies, or inquiring about information. They brought prosperity as well as chaos. In this lawless island, the law of the jungle of the weak and the strong is vividly displayed. ?Sin abounds and chaos continues. This is also the origin of the name of the islands. At this moment, in the largest [Greedy Tavern] on the island. The lights are brightly lit and the crowds are bustling. ?Different from other taverns, the interior environment of this tavern is surprisingly neat. ?Poor smells such as sweat, rouge, and alcohol are all covered up by the incense sprayed from the steam pipes. Even the pirates, who have always been rude and violent, did not dare to be overly showy. They just talked with neither high nor short voices, as if they were afraid of something. ?Correspondingly, the girls here are of extremely high quality, with beautiful looks and good figures, and they also wear a special uniform. It seems to be exposed, but it is eye-catching. Seeing this, some unsophisticated pirates were almost drooling. ??Rod, the captain of the pirate ship Zephyr, also belongs to this group of people. Logically speaking, as a second-level mystic, Rhodes is considered the number one figure in the offshore area and can avoid many salvage ships. But in the Luansi Islands, which is already far away from the sea, he is still a little shrimp, and even seems a little reserved in this strange atmosphere. ?However, Rhodes had his own way of resolving this restraint. ?His eyes scanned the crowd and quickly locked onto a young man drinking at the bar. ?This young man has light blond hair and a handsome appearance, which makes people instinctively like him. ? Judging from his age and aura, he should be a secret pather with similar strength to himself. Hey, man. ?? Rhodes smiled and said hello, and sat down next to the young man naturally: "It seems that this is your first time coming to the Sin Islands? Let''s have a drink together?" The young man glanced at him while eating the side dishes on the plate, but showed no resistance. The sea has been really uneasy recently, and many islands are very noisy, so I have no choice but to come to Luosui Islands to supply supplies. Rhodes asked the bartender for a glass of wine, and then said in a slightly complaining tone: "There are many more pirates coming to the Sin Islands than usual." Its all the fault of that audacious lunatic! The young man chewed the food in his mouth and asked, "Who are you talking about?" A captain nicknamed Black Swan. ?The young man had a strange expression: "What black swan?" Legend has it that the black swan is an animal that should not have appeared. And when it breaks into peoples eyes, it will bring about a series of terrible chain reactions. ??Rod took a sip of wine to moisten his throat: "Of course, what I want to talk about is the captain himself." Honestly, although he is a lunatic, I really think he is quite fierce. The strange look on the young man''s face was even worse, but he did not forget to continue eating the dishes he ordered: "Do you know him?" Rhodes looked around and lowered his voice: "Do you know about the [Blood Moon Night] two months ago?" It is said that this black swan kidnapped an important person on Silver Moon Island, causing the truth about [Blood Moon Night] to be exposed. Then, more than a dozen islands including Silver Moon Island and Duke Island jointly wanted his ship. Among them, the governor of Duke Island happened to meet him at sea, forcing him into the foggy sea all the way, and even squatted outside the fog for a long time. Guess what? The young man responded cooperatively: "What''s going on?" The black swan had an adventure in the foggy sea, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds. Not only did it directly sink the [Blood Duke] on Duke Island, it also killed the consul! Rhodes became more and more excited as he talked: "This is not over yet, Black Swan also brought a ship to Duke Island, and ransacked her lair on the island!" Not only that, he later went to Silver Moon Island and fought directly at the castle of Silver Moon Island. In other words, the [Viper] on Silver Moon Island happened to be out salvaging, otherwise it would have been sunk by him! We attacked two islands one after another within half a month. Do you think its awesome or not? Before the young man could reply, another pirate sitting next to him also interjected: "That''s so awesome!" That guy also declared in public on Silver Moon Island that he would come to every island where he was wanted and pay double the amount. Because of this, many islands have recently stopped letting us pirates get close. I have never seen such a courageous person. Is he really not afraid of being targeted by the federal navy? ?Perhaps this topic is indeed very popular among pirates. ?Pirates are joining the chat one after another. I also heard that his [Black Swan] is not actually a ship at all, but a behemoth from the deep sea that is usually disguised as a ship. The crew of the Black Swan ship are also weird. They seem to have a giant, a sea monster, a black knight, and a vampire girl kidnapped from Silver Moon Island. "There are rumors that the vampire girl fell in love with him and eloped with him in order to get rid of the shackles of the family." Yo, its quite romantic? Rhodes gossiped: "But how did I hear that all those crew members are his women?" ?Seeing that the topic was starting to go astray, the young man at the bar was speechless as he ate side dishes and drank a small drink, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. At this time. Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd. Mr. Heller is here! I saw a tall, slim man with a gentle manner walking not far away. He has messy black hair like seaweed, a strange black tattoo that looks like some kind of mollusk carved on his cheek, and he wears an old dress. It makes people feel like a doctor or a gentleman. Mr. Heller ?All the pirates quickly looked at him with awe and said hello to him. The reason is simple, this person is the real owner of [Greedy Bar]. At this time, Heller cast his gaze at the young man at the bar. (End of this chapter) Chapter 150 The bounty is soaring, [Netherworld Sect Chapter 150 The bounty soared, [The Nether Sect]! After seeing the young man at the bar. Mr. Heller''s face suddenly showed a very complicated expression. ?At first, I was surprised and curious, but soon turned into surprise, awe, and even a faint excitement. Seeing this, the nearby pirates were surprised, including the old customers who often visited the Greedy Bar. ??It was the first time they had seen Mr. Heller show such emotion. ??Its just that from their perspective, they couldnt see who Heller was looking at in the crowd. ?Heller did not immediately contact the handsome young man at the bar, but completed his own work first Place several wanted posters on the bar''s notice board. ?The pirates who always liked to join in the fun gathered around and commented on the wanted poster and the list. In the pirate world where information flow is somewhat limited, the importance of intelligence is self-evident. Many pirates come to [Greedy Tavern] just to obtain various information on the sea. As a federal official announcement, the wanted order is naturally credible. At the same time, pirates will also judge the strength and status of other pirates based on the amount of the reward. ?? Rhodes also curiously went forward and quickly found his wanted poster. He found that his reward had increased from 90 to 100, and he felt a little complacent. Hey, its actually increased by 10 gold dragon coins compared to before? As expected of me. At this moment, a small exclamation broke out from the crowd. A new wanted order for the crew of the [Black Swan] has also been issued! "let me see" [Black Knight, An, is a professional who is suspected of being a second-level knight in the secret path. His characteristic is that he is covered in armor! 120 gold dragon coins! ]" [White-haired banshee, Joey, suspected to be a second-level scholar, siren bloodline, proficient in spells130 gold dragon coins! ]" [Blood Moon Traitor, Fei Ya, is suspected to be a second-level priest. He has a certain violent tendency and is good at using steam machinery. If he is captured alive, he can get more bounties300 gold dragon coins! ]" Finally, the pirates eyes fell on the wanted notice at the top. Black Death Bird, Shane Captain of "Black Swan", Level 3 Secret Pathfinder Occupation unknown, race unknown, ability unknown. ??He once defeated the "Blood Duke" head-on, breached the defenses of Duke Island and Silver Moon Island, and killed the current governors of the two islands! Warning, this person is ruthless and extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous! When encountering a person who is not a third-level secret pather, please flee with all your strength! 2600 gold dragon coins! The font behind "Warning" is marked in red and bold, with a strong warning connotation. How much, how much? ??Rhode couldn''t help but widen his eyes and his breathing stagnated slightly. As far as he knows, the bounty for an average third-level Mystic in the Federation is usually only 500 to 2,000 gold dragon coins. At the moment, the captain of the [Black Swan] has soared to 2,600! Including its crew, the bounty on the entire ship has exceeded 3,000! Thats 300,000 silver snake coins! 30 million copper coins! ?? Thirty million coins can kill someone if you smash them! This huge amount of money is enough to buy a small island in the Federation. The person who issued the reward really wants to kill this black death bird... The surprise in Rhode''s heart was hard to calm down for a while. He was not too surprised by the name "Black Death Bird". The previous "Black Swan" was just the name of the pirates, while "Black Death Bird" was the official code name of the Federation. ?But soon, Rhodes figured out that no matter how high the bounty on the [Black Death Bird] was, it had nothing to do with him as a little second-level mystic. ?Just take a look at this kind of thing. But at this moment, Rhodes eyes fell on the portrait of the reward. Since there are professionals with secret paths of [painter] in this world, the accuracy of the portraits on wanted posters is relatively high. Light golden hair, dark blue eyes. ?The facial features are exquisite, but also carry a cold majesty, which is reminiscent of the bottomless deep sea. Wait, him!? ?? Rhodes stood there blankly, with a huge wave in his heart. ?Other pirates were suddenly startled and quickly looked back to the side of the bar. The handsome young man from before has disappeared. Only the empty dinner plate and wine glass prove that he has been there. ? ?The young man walked out of the tavern and let out a long breath. I havent had food like this in a tavern for a long time, and I didnt expect it to taste quite good. Ill have to buy a cookbook some other time so Joey can learn more. ?This blond young man is Xia En, who has just carried a reward of 2,600 gold dragon coins. ?After successively conquering the two large islands of Duke Island and Silver Moon Island, he obtained a large amount of loot, which even the previous **** ships did not have time to deal with. ?Sha En urgently needs to cash in these trophies and transform the wealth into practical combat power. Money in your hand is always just money. It only makes sense if it becomes components, equipment, and props that are useful to you. As a lawless place, the Luosi Islands are undoubtedly the most suitable place for his transactions. A conservative estimate, after selling the ship and the useless antiques and jewelry in the space ring, plus Duke Novas deposit, I should be able to hold more than 3,000 gold dragon coins on hand. Hissthis is 3,000 gold dragon coins! The salty sea breeze blew, and Xia En felt inexplicably emotional. ?Unconsciously, his wealth has accumulated to a level that he could not even imagine before. Who would have thought that six months ago, he would be so worried about just over 300 silver snake coins? Its a pity that the [Viper] was not sunk. ?Because Xia En was worried that the attack on Duke Island would make Silver Moon Island more vigilant, he transferred third-level powerhouses from other vampire islands. ?Hence his actions were extremely resolute. Almost immediately after raiding Duke Nova''s lair, he rushed to Silver Moon Island at full speed. It happened that the Viper was out and avoided disaster. ??Xia En just rushed to the castle on Silver Moon Island, killed the acting consul, looted it a little, and then left. ?Of course, doing these two big things not only made Xia En famous, but also caused his reward to skyrocket from 200 gold snake coins to 2,600. It can be seen that the importance of those vampires has increased. They no longer regard Shane as a minor character who can be crushed to death at will, but instead put him on the must-kill list. ?Xia En was not surprised or afraid by this. Since the Vampires issued the bounty, they have already had enmity between them, so naturally they don''t mind if the enmity becomes deeper. Its just that ??Xia En touched his chin, his thoughts fluctuating in his mind: "I wonder what the federation''s attitude is towards this?" Although Carles said that she would work hard to punish Silvermoon Island and cancel the bounty on herself. But now that I think about it, as a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, her words actually dont carry that much weight. ?Before this, Xia En already knew that among the top leaders of the federation, there were both factions that rejected the vampires and factions that were close to the vampires. ??If he causes such a big trouble this time, there is no guarantee that he will be completely classified as a pirate. ??If I have to say it, this action greatly increased Shane''s reputation in the chaotic camp, but greatly reduced his reputation in the lawful camp. ?However, even so, Xia En has no regrets. ??If given another chance, he would still make the same choice. The worst case scenario is to become a pirate, free and unconstrained, which is not a bad thing. ?Just when Xia En was thinking about these questions, a voice suddenly sounded beside him. Captain Shane, could I take a moment of your time? ?Xia Ens eyelids twitched and he turned his head sharply. Mr. Heller, whom he had just met in the bar, was standing behind him and said in a strange tone. I would like to introduce you to our God and Savior, the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Lord of the Deep. ? ?Xia En tilted his head in confusion. He had noticed before that Mr. Heller looked at him in a strange way. But what does this sentence mean? The Lord of the Deep? Of course, Xia En has not forgotten that he once encountered a being called [Sir of Netherworld] during the promotion ritual, and obtained exclusive skills such as [Touch of Netherworld]. He even heard such confusing words as "Lord of the Deep, hello to you". But in reality, or on the island, this was the first time he heard this name from others. ?Heller also saw Xia Ens doubts and explained. Let me introduce myself. My name is Heller Smith. I am the owner of this island and one of the seven stewards of the Sin Islands. But at the same time, I am still a loyal believer in [Lord of the Underworld]. When speaking of the first two identities, Heller''s tone was calm, but the last sentence made him look proud and proud. The owner of the islandthe seven butlers After hearing these words, Xia En felt waves in his heart. ?Before entering the Luosui Islands, he inquired about the situation in this sea area, so he learned that- ?Although the Luosui Islands are chaotic, they are not without order at all. First of all, every island here has its owner, and being able to firmly hold the position of island owner among fierce pirates is enough to illustrate its strength. Secondly, there are seven deacons in this archipelago. They are not like the consuls. They usually just stay in their respective jurisdictions, rarely communicate with each other, and basically do not manage the pirates on the island. But when the Federation attacks, the seven stewards will unite to fight against the Federation navy. The Federation has naturally launched several eradication operations against this lawless land. ?However, due to the power of the Seven Deacons and some of the secrets in this sea area, the Federation''s annihilation was repeatedly frustrated, and it gradually acquiesced to the existence of the Sin Islands. ?Xia En felt Heller''s aura carefully, and his scalp suddenly felt numb. One word, unfathomable! ?This man is like a deep abyss. The more you look at him, the more terrifying you can feel. At least level four, or...higher! The feeling of oppression he gave Xia En was even more than that of the Queen of the Sea Tribe. It can be said that Mr. Heller, who believes in the [Netherworld Lord], is the strongest person Xia En has seen since traveling through time! ?Shaan was inexplicably horrified, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "So, Mr. Heller, do you have anything to do with me?" Captain Shane, there is no need to be nervous. ?Heller chuckled, and his tattooed face actually showed a bit of honesty and friendliness. I can swear to [Lord of the Deep] that I will not be your enemy. "ah?" Xia En was even more puzzled. ?From his understanding, it is no trivial matter for such believers to swear by the existence they believe in. Moreover, the other party also used the honorific title "you". Its almost like Without even knowing it, Xia En had increased Deacon Heller''s favorability. Because of this, Xia En became increasingly vigilant. He does not believe that there are unreasonable good intentions in the world. Heller must have his own unique intention when he finds him. At this time, Heller continued: "Captain Shane, I wonder if you have heard of...[The Netherworld Sect]?" "No." After thinking for a moment, Xia En answered frankly. Lying in front of such a powerful person is obviously not a good choice. Its no wonder that our sect has been in decline for a long time and is not recognized by the Deep Sea Church. ?Heller sighed regretfully: "In fact, the omniscient and omnipotent Lord of the Deep is the real master of this sea." As for the Storm Goddess, she is just a lucky girl who got some of his power by chance. The Church of the Deep has concealed the truth and regards the Lord of the Deep as evil. But it doesnt matter, soon, the great master will wake up from his long sleep, return from the unexplorable deep sea, and repair the world to its original appearance..." Hearing his words and looking at his enthusiastic expression, Xia En''s eyelids twitched even more. Crazy believer! ?Furthermore, not being recognized by the Deep Sea Church means that this [Netherworld Sect] is a completely evil sect. Such evil sects are not uncommon in the Seven Seas. After all, not to mention the [Secret Sea], there are many indescribable existences even in the depths of the ordinary sea. Judging from Xia Ens last contact with the [Yousui Children], they are indeed a very evil thing. Under normal circumstances, Xia En would definitely stay away from such a fanatical believer. Because their methods are weird and their mentality is very paranoid, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "crazy". But today ??Isnt it impossible to beat this! After talking eloquently, Heller looked at Xia En with burning eyes. "Captain Shane, you should have guessed my purpose. I want to invite you to join the [Netherworld Religion]." Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. He is indeed here to preach! He guessed that it was because of the encounter in the promotion ritual that Heller saw something, and that''s why he wanted to recruit him into the religion. ??Although Xia En is indeed somewhat related to the "Lord of the Underworld", this does not mean that he wants to join this sect of unknown origin. But the question is, will rejecting this secret person who is at least level 4, will offend the other party? After hesitating for a long time, Xia En said carefully. "What if I say...I have no intention of joining your sect for the time being?" ?Heller smiled and said: "That''s okay, I won''t force you." "And if you have any goods that you need to sell or want to buy something, you can come to me and I will help you solve it properly." Xia En was quite surprised. ?This attitude is too friendly, and it is also somewhat different from the cultists in his impression. Not long. ?Shaan thanked Heller for his kindness, said goodbye to him and left. After his back disappeared from sight, a shadow suddenly began to twist and squirm beside Heller, turning into a human form like a viscous liquid. Finally, he transformed into a little boy who looked like a servant. The little boy asked curiously: "Sir, why are you so interested in this captain?" Does he have any precious treasures on him? If so, why not just kill him? ?Heller glanced at the little boy lightly and said in a stern tone: "Don''t let me hear this a second time." The little boy''s body began to tremble, and he became increasingly puzzled. In the eyes of adults, this strange captain seems to be more important than himself? Heller murmured in a low voice: "It''s unmistakable. He is the prophesied Holy Son. One day, he will open the door for the return of the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord of the Dark..." Before that, all I have to do is wait... (End of this chapter) Chapter 151 A tribute to the crew, Anns secret Chapter 151 Commendations to the crew, Anns secret What surprised Shane. In the next few days, Mr. Heller actually did not come to trouble him. Not only that, Xia Ens process of selling trophies and purchasing equipment also seemed to be extremely smooth, and there were not even blind pirates coming to his door to try and steal gold coins. Among them, of course, there are also wanted orders and bounties as a deterrent. But after inquiring, Xia En learned that this was because... ?Heller has publicly stated on some occasions that the captain of the Black Swan is his distinguished guest, and anyone who dares to embarrass Sean is an enemy of him. After hearing the news, Xia En''s mood was quite complicated. ?Although he is not too fond of the [Netherworld Sect], the goodwill released by Heller is real. It is equivalent to owed a debt of gratitude invisibly. ?But fortunately, Heller''s overtures were quite measured. He didn''t take the initiative to give Xia En any gifts, and he wasn''t so flattering that he was annoying. At any rate, take advantage of these days. Xia En successfully packed up and sold several **** ships and the sailors on them, clearing out the inventory and converting the useless loot into gold coins. Even, he participated in an auction on the Sin Islands and purchased a batch of valuable equipment and props. This day, after the auction ended. ?Shane returned to the port where the Black Swan docked. As soon as he stepped onto the deck, he smelled a strong aroma of meat. Turning around to look, Joey had set up a large barbecue grill on the deck, and various kinds of food were being grilled on the shelf. ??There are meats brought from the Giant Island, as well as big fish that are usually caught, and there are several kinds of vegetables, fruits, and drinks next to them. ?In front of the barbecue grill, Joey was so busy that he was sweating and was forced to tie his long silver hair into a ponytail, showing a somewhat capable and refreshing temperament. But she still took out her hand and said hello to Xia En: "Mr. Captain, you are back!" The celebration banquet is almost ready, just waiting for you, captain! Thats right, a celebration party! Ever since the Black Swan left the Siren Islands, the crew on the ship, including Shane, have basically been in a state of war readiness. The attacks on Duke Island and Silver Moon Island were even faster than the "Blitzkrieg on Poland", causing the crew to be quite exhausted. It wasnt until they arrived at the Luosi Islands that they had time to breathe and rest. ?Xia En thought about it and prepared a celebration banquet. It was not only a reward for the crew''s hard work during this period, but also a special team building. ?On other ships, the best way to build a team is to give money! As long as you give enough money, both ordinary sailors and pirates will become loyal, and the cohesion of the team will naturally improve. But the situation of [Black Swan] is different. Each of them stayed with Shane for their own reasons, and money was actually the least important factor among them. ?Needless to say, Joey and Ans material desires are pitifully low, and they dont even know how to spend the money they are given. Feiya has her own small treasury and has no other hobbies except steam machinery. The only one who has a strong desire for money is Bronze Dragon String Song. Out of the instinct of an ancient dragon, this little dragon is very obsessed with treasures. Its not that he wants to spend them, but he simply enjoys the feeling of rolling in the pile of gold coins. But children cannot always get used to it. ? Coupled with Xian Ges personality, Xia En also came up with a way to train it. ??The grease from the barbecue dripped on the charcoal fire, and the sizzling sound brought Sean''s thoughts back to reality. When he came back to his senses, he found that all the crew members were looking at him, so he said with a smile. What are you still doing? Dinner is ready! Xian Ge screamed excitedly: "Aww, sister Joy, I want this piece!" Fei Ya opened a bottle of high-quality wine, took a slight sniff and showed an intoxicated expression, and said with some nostalgia. I havent had a drink for a long time. Speaking of which, the first time the captain and I met was also in a tavern. ??Joy pricked up his ears and asked curiously: "When did this happen? Why didn''t I know?" Soon, Xia En also picked up the dinner plate and joined the banquet. ? Dont look at it as just a barbecue, this dinner is not cheap because of the vegetables, fruits, spices, and fine wine. It is no exaggeration to say that on most islands, the price of fruits, vegetables and spices is comparable to gold! Xia Ens wine is the collection of Duke Nova, so the quality goes without saying. ? Expensive is expensive. He has earned so much money through hard work, why cant he still enjoy it? ?However, Xia Ens purpose is not just to eat. After eating half full, he said to the crew. Actually, I still have a few small gifts to give to everyone. Joy. ??Joy suddenly trembled: "Here!" Xia En took out a staff and a robe and handed them to the girl. These are two good spellcaster pieces of equipment that should be of great use to you. Sea Mist Staff/Robe Quality: Epic Type: Equipment Description: "Sea Mist" series of suits, made by the legendary craftsman "Sea Mist Master". Effect 1: CleanlinessThis robe is difficult to stain with dust and dirt, will not be wetted by sea water, and comes with a cleansing technique once a day. Effect 2: Mystic Sea AffinityThis series of equipment can more easily draw the power from the Mystic Sea. Effect 3: ConcentrationThe concentration when casting a spell is greatly improved, and the speed of recovering mental power and magic power is greatly increased! This is exactly the equipment that Shane bought at the auction. Just by looking at the entry [Secret Sea Affinity], you can see how extraordinary it is. Its perfect as a gift for Joey. ?Joys pretty face was full of surprise, and he couldnt help but ask: Mr. Captain, can I put it on now? ?Shaan nodded: "Of course." Not long after, the girl wearing the [Sea Mist Robe] appeared in front of everyone. ??The appearance of this robe is not bad. The base is white, with blue magic patterns that look like waves or mist, and they seem to be flowing gently. Appears ethereal and elegant. ??Moreover, it is not the old-school wide style, but a slim fit that fits the body. ?When worn on Joey, it not only brings out her slender and graceful figure, but also has the unique elegance and mystery of a traditional mage. Coupled with her transformed appearance, her silver-white hair, and ruby-like pupils... that beautiful picture looked like a painting. Even Xia En seemed to be in a daze. Aware of the captain''s gaze, Joey''s face felt a little hot and he asked in a low voice. How is it? Is it suitable? Xia En nodded seriously and said, "It''s very suitable." I thought this robe would suit you before, but I didnt expect...it would be so suitable! Hearing this frank compliment, Joey''s face became even hotter and he felt his earlobes turning red. "but" ?Shaan asked curiously: "Joy, have you grown taller?" ??Joy was stunned: "It does seem a bit." ?Xia En was thoughtful, suspecting that it was the transformation of the Siren''s bloodline that caused Joey''s second growth. but His eyes fell in front of the girl, showing some sympathy.????Maybe there is something, if it is not there, it is not there, right? ??Then, Xia En looked at Fei Ya who was watching the excitement, and took out a huge minigun from the [Ring of Apocalypse]. Seeing this big gun with a metallic luster, Fei Ya''s eyes suddenly lit up. Kepler 197!? Oh my God, Captain, where did you get this? Xia En smiled faintly: "There are indeed a lot of good things at the auction on the Luansi Islands." Its yours now. There are other gadgets, and they will be delivered to your room later. ?This heavy machine gun named [Kepler 197] is a standard weapon developed by the Federation in the early years. Just because of its terrible weight and recoil, even ordinary Mystics cannot use it, which ultimately led to it only staying in the experimental stage. The "197" in its name represents the seven seas, and there are only 197 such firearms in total. Coupled with the fact that some of the machine guns have been damaged, the [Kepler 197] has become a highly collectible weapon. ?Of course, being collectible does not mean that this weapon is not powerful. In fact, its power is enough to easily kill a second-level Mystic, so even third-level ones must be careful. It''s just that those who can use this giant gun need to have a physical constitution of level 2 or above. By coincidence, Xia En knew that Fei Ya had a hobby of collecting firearms, and the bloodline of the "Holy Blood" also gave him the possibility to use this weapon, so he spent a lot of money to buy [Kepler 197]. Besides the value of the rewards, the most important thing is to give them what they like. ?Now it seems that Xia Ens intentions were not in vain. Feiya hugged him excitedly: "Thank you, Captain, I will cherish it!" ?Xia En didnt expect Fei Yas reaction to be so big, and he hugged her full for a moment. Dont mention it, this touch is really unique. Small, soft, and fragrant. Wait a minute, where does the fragrance come from? ?Xia En realized just now that Fei Ya had a special body fragrance. Is this also the special characteristic of the Holy Blood Race? ??Xia En''s brain was running rapidly, and at the same time he was thinking "He is a man... He is a man... He is a man...", and then he forcibly calmed down. Fortunately, before Joey could pull Feiya down, he let go of his arm and couldn''t put it down to play with the heavy machine gun. Firearms are a mans romance! And then. Xia En looked at Xian Ge who was looking at him eagerly, threw out a space ring and said. Xiange, lets play a game. There are 100 gold dragon coins in here. From now on, every time you complete my order, I will put 10 gold dragon coins in it. But once you make a mistake, I will deduct 100 gold dragon coins, and the game will end after deducting all the coins. If one day you accumulate 10,000 gold dragon coins, all my property can be managed by you. Xiange''s eyes widened slightly: "Really?" Xia En nodded solemnly: "It''s absolutely true." Xiange asked carefully: "Why do you only earn 10 gold dragon coins for completing a task, and deducting 100 for making a mistake?" Xia En said earnestly: "I want to tell you that there are some mistakes that we can only make once in our lives." Xian Ge thought for a long time and finally responded: "I did it!" The reason why Xia En proposed this game was, on the one hand, to strengthen Xian Ge''s sense of obedience. Although Xian Ge is much more obedient than when he first emerged from his shell, he is still a bit undisciplined and lazy. It is necessary to stimulate its enthusiasm. On the other hand, Xia En feels that it is not appropriate to let Gu Long be the financial accountant in charge of money. ??He is tired of counting the money from these days of transactions! The captain cannot always do such small things by himself. Xiange is greedy and loves money, so she will conscientiously calculate every income and expenditure to maximize benefits. The best part is that it only saves money, not spends it. ?And whoever dares to steal this property will undoubtedly attract the wrath of Xian Ge. ??It''s equivalent to installing a "gatekeeper" for Xia En''s treasury. You can make a lot of money! As for this game, "Xia En wants to appoint Xian Ge as the financial accountant" is changed into "Xian Ge strives to become the financial accountant himself." After tasting it carefully, you can understand the beauty of it. Finally, Xia En looked at An, who was not far away. Since the celebration banquet, Ans presence has not been high. ?It''s not that Xia En and the others are snubbing him, but that the written expression is missing something in this lively environment. The presence of the armor also prevented An from feasting normally, so he could only eat bit by bit and carefully. Made it look a little out of place with the banquet. Xia En chose An as the last target to send gifts, but he actually had his own little thoughts. Ann, this is a gift for you. Shaan handed over a special small box made of jade. Soul of the Holy Armor Quality: Epic Type: Props Description: The essence extracted from the special magic potion "Scarab" can be used to strengthen armor-type equipment. Without increasing or decreasing the weight of armor-type equipment, unconditionally increase its strength, durability and other attributes to a moderate extent. This type of equipment can awaken 3 to 5 characteristics, and the direction and quality are random. ??This is the prop that Xia En found at the auction that is most suitable for An. In fact, the best option is to simply change into a new, more powerful armor. But maybe because she was sentimental after wearing it for a long time, or for other reasons, An had expressed strong opposition to this. Since you can''t replace the old with the new, you only need to strengthen the armor on the original basis. ?Ke''an didn''t want to take off his armor and use it to strengthen it, so he had to use special rare objects and materials to directly apply them to the armor. After some screening, Xia En selected this [Holy Armor Soul]. Even though it is only the size of a palm, it is actually the most expensive among these gifts! Ann took the small box, saluted respectfully, and wrote on the cardboard. Thank you, Captain, for your generosity. Between you and me, there is no way to thank you. Xia En looked at An with burning eyes and finally asked the question he had been curious about for a long time. Now, can you tell me why you insist on wearing this armor all the time? An seemed to have expected that Xia En would ask this question. After hesitating for a moment, An started writing. Everything is just because... I am an ominous person. This armor is not a tool to protect me, but to protect the people around me. ??Xia En frowned: "How to say?" Please read this story first. Many years ago... (End of this chapter) ~ Organize your outline and take a day off! Complete the outline and take a day off! ?You may not believe it, but Ans plot is actually a very important main line and needs to be polished. Plus, I just finished writing a big plot, I feel a little empty and tired, and I want to take a day off! ?Hope friends to approve! As compensation, there will be a lot of updates at the end of the month! Establish written evidence as evidence! (Do not delete this chapter!) ??(End of this chapter) Chapter 152 Miss Ghost wakes up and targets [Leng Lie Sea]! Chapter 152: Miss Ghost wakes up, targeting [Cold Sea]! Many years ago... There is a kingdom called "Turin" on the mainland. Although this kingdom has kings and nobles, the real power class is a group of knights whose duty is to protect the glory. One day, a couple in the Kingdom of Turin picked up an elf child who seemed to be seven or eight years old and could not speak. Out of goodwill, the couple took the initiative to raise the child, provide him with food and shelter, and teach him common sense and knowledge. The good times did not last long. Only the second year after the couple picked up the elf, the town where they lived was ransacked by a group of robbers. Although the nearby knight family arrived in time and annihilated the robbers, the couple were still killed in the war. Fortunately, the knight who came with the army was a good man. He felt compassion for the helpless elf and brought him back to his family. But the well-meaning knights didnt know that this was the beginning of their familys nightmare. Since that day, members and servants of the family began to die mysteriously one after another. Some drowned and died by the river, some fell from heights, some suddenly fell into strange and serious illnesses, and some died after accidentally eating food containing toxins... The strange thing is that there is no connection between these deaths, it seems like a pure, unfortunate accident. For a time, the cloud of death hung over this knight family. The patriarch of the family did not believe that such a coincidence existed, so he asked the powerful people in the kingdom for help, and finally came to the conclusion that... they were contaminated with a "curse of bad luck"! After several investigations, they identified the source of the misfortunethe elf orphan who was brought into the family. After realizing that his actions had killed so many tribesmen, the kind-hearted knight was in great pain, and was eventually found in the room, having committed suicide. After experiencing these things, the elf orphans were naturally regarded as a scourge in the eyes of the family. However, they are self-proclaimed glorious knights after all. They did not execute the elves privately, nor did they give the elves unfair treatment. They just handed them over to the knights of the round table in the kingdom in an attempt to solve this terrible curse. In the end, the solution the knights came up with was... Put the elf in a special suit of armor to isolate the power of misfortune from the outside world. At the same time, they began to train the elf into a knight. While writing this, An''s pen paused slightly, but soon he continued writing. If the story ends here, it might not be so bad. But where there is light, there is shadow. Even in the Kingdom of Turin, ruled by knights, there are a group of people who take a fancy to the power of misfortune in the elves. They took the initiative to send elves to countries hostile to the Kingdom of Turin, so that the elves could come into contact with powerful figures and important nobles in these kingdoms. Every death of a big shot will cause domestic turmoil, and the Kingdom of Turin takes this opportunity to... launch a war! With the help of this secret weapon, the Kingdom of Turin defeated several powerful enemies one after another and continued to expand its territory. Furthermore, the long lifespan of elves means that this tool can be used for a long, long time. Over the next few hundred years, cities and countries were affected by war. Looking back, the Kingdom of Turin has become a huge empire on this continent. The funny thing is that while people are using this forbidden power, they are also afraid of it. So, they did not even dare to let the elves embark on the path of the Mystics, and after the empire became hegemonic, they sealed the elves. When the elf woke up again, what he saw was a new world submerged by the sea. An wrote densely packed words on sheets of paper. He wrote unhurriedly, and Sean read it carefully. After reading all the content, Xia En fell into a brief silence. He had guessed that Guo An''s origin was not simple, but he didn''t expect... that it would be so simple. And, the Kingdom of Turin? ??Isnt this the kingdom that appeared in the description of the scepter? ?But, since she has been treated like this, why would An still abide by the so-called chivalry and embark on the secret path of [knight]? ?Xia En looked at the tall and silent An in front of him, and already had the answer in his heart. ?Perhaps, in those years when she was used as a tool, An needed to grab something as a pillar for her soul. ?Like a drowning person, even a broken straw must be firmly grasped in the palm of the hand. On the other hand, treating yourself as a tool to serve your master, convincing yourself with "loyalty" and alleviating the guilt in your heart is also a helpless and self-protective method. ?Thinking of this, Xia En looked at An and said very seriously and solemnly. Ann, its not your fault. Its the people who are taking advantage of you who are wrong. Moreover, in my heart, you have never been a tool, but a living person with a will of your own. Xia En stretched out his hand and placed it on An''s chest. Even through the thick armor, he could still feel the dull heartbeat. This heartbeat is proof that you are still alive. And as long as you are alive, there is hope for everything. "Believe me, one day, I will remove the curse of bad luck from you and let you live uprightly in the sunshine." This is the promise from me, the captain of the Black Swan, your master, Shane! ?An stood there in a daze, looking at Xia En in front of him through the helmet, and his vision gradually blurred. ?This was the first time he heard someone say such a thing to him. Inexplicably, his heart beat faster and faster, and he developed a feeling that he had never had before, and that he seemed to not have, and that was different from loyalty and awe. At this moment, An suddenly felt a little lucky. It was precisely because of the existence of this armor that Xia En could not see his current expression... After such an episode. The atmosphere of the celebration banquet became more harmonious. ??However, just as Xia En and the crew were enjoying the food and wine, a figure quietly appeared on the deck. Ship, captain! ??Joy was the first to notice this figure, his beautiful eyes widened, staring in a direction behind Xia En, and he stammered. Look, behind you... Xia En was startled. He turned around suddenly and saw a figure with bare feet and a blue robe floating towards the barbecue grill. Her feet did not touch the ground, and her body did not leave any shadow in the firelight. Xian Ge, who had just secretly drank a bottle of wine, suddenly jumped up and exclaimed when he saw this scene. Oh my God! What a ghost Xia En reacted immediately and said in surprise: "Vivian, are you awake?" ?This beautiful figure is none other than the ghost lady Vivian who has been sleeping for more than a month! ?But at this time, the ghost lady didn''t seem to be awake yet. ?There was suspicious liquid hanging from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were half closed and half open, her little nose was twitching slightly, and she was mumbling indistinctly. It smells so goodso hungry Xia En looked at her expressionlessly. You''re a ghost that doesn''t even have a digestive system. What does it smell like? What are you hungry for? ?However, what surprised Xia En was that Vivian''s body seemed to be much more solid than a month ago. Moreover, Joey and others could not see her originally, but now they have discovered her existence. Could it be that...she was recovering strength after sleeping for more than a month? Vivian, wake up. ?Xia En walked up to the ghost and spoke in a deep voice. Huh? Captain Shane? Vivian''s eyes gradually widened and she murmured: "Good morning..." Which of your eyes can tell it''s morning? ??Xia Ens mouth couldnt help but twitch, but he still waited silently for Vivian to wake up. When the other crew members on the side saw this, they immediately understood that this ghost was probably also a crew member of the [Black Swan]. ??Joy asked inexplicably and with a little vigilance: "Mr. Captain, who is this woman?" Oh, I forgot to tell you. Xia En introduced: "Her name is Vivian, she is the owner of the previous crystal coffin. It is precisely because of her that the crystal coffin will return to the [Black Swan] again and again." He hesitated, but still did not tell the embarrassing experience of Vivian carrying the coffin back. At this time, Vivian finally came to her senses and said in surprise: "Huh? Why am I here?" ?Shaan: Even though I had seen Vivian lying on the deck before, it seemed that I had underestimated how embarrassing this ghost was. ?But I picked it up on the boat, how can I throw it away? Lets make do with it! It is worth mentioning that while Vivian was sleeping, Xia En had already bound her and unlocked a [Ghost Affinity] talent. It gave Xia En a little comfort. Xia En sighed and reminded: "Did you know that you slept for a full month?" Only a month? Vivian blinked: "I just said why I didn''t feel like I had enough sleep!" I was on that isolated island and slept for half a year! And speaking of it, one month is very short, right? It goes by in the blink of an eye. Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved slightly. He had vaguely realized before that Vivian''s concept of time seemed to be different from ordinary people''s. Generally speaking, this is actually a characteristic only possessed by immortal species. The only immortal species that Xia En knows so far is the elf. Could it be said that Vivian was also an elf during her lifetime? ??Although Vivian does not have the characteristics of an elf, the existence of ghosts is inherently different from what she was in life. Not to mention, Vivian is still a created ghost. ThatCaptain Shane? Vivian didn''t know what Xia En was thinking. She looked at the barbecue next to her eagerly and swallowed: "I''m hungry! Can I join your banquet?" ?Shaan was quite surprised: "Can you eat these foods?" ?In his understanding, ghosts dont even have intestines and stomachs, so how can they eat normally? I think...it should be possible, right? Vivian seemed a little unsure, but the food on the baking tray was exuding temptation. She used tongs to grab a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, under the astonished gazes of Xia En and other crew members, the roast meat slid down her esophagus after being chewed in her mouth. Immediately afterwards, the food seemed to be affected by some special force, continuously decomposing, melting, and finally disappearing. Due to Vivians translucent body, this process appears unusually clear. You can actually eat it? Xian Ge also said to himself in surprise: "I have never seen such a strange ghost..." Aware of everyone''s gaze, Vivian raised her little head proudly, as if to say, "Humph, am I awesome?" What are you proud of? Xia En glanced at the ghost, exhausted both physically and mentally. ?His concentration is actually not bad, but for some reason, he always feels unbearable in front of Vivian. ??Despite the addition of a weird crew member, the celebration party went on smoothly. ?Shane also introduced the other crew members to Vivian. What is slightly noteworthy is that Vivian showed a strong interest in An, who was wearing armor, and kept asking questions. ?This seems to confirm Xia Ens previous conjecture. After having enough wine and food, Joey asked curiously. Mr. Captain, after leaving the Sin Islands, where should we go next? There are no famous large-scale underwater ruins in the waters near the Luosui Islands. Xia En only came here to supply and buy equipment. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is naturally time to leave. For this question, Xia En already had an answer in his mind. He took out a brand new nautical chart he bought from the auction, spread it out on the empty table, and pointed to a sea area near the north. "Our next destination is... the [Cold Sea] in the north!" ?According to the official division of the Federation, Duke Island, Silver Moon Island...and even the current Luan Sin Islands are all located in the [Sea of ??Tranquility] among the seven seas. As the name suggests, this is a relatively peaceful and peaceful sea area. The strength of the secret travelers on the islands and the alienated sea beasts in the sea ranks low among the seven seas. The reason why Xia En chose [Leng Liehai] as his next target. On the one hand, I want to encounter storms with different attributes to improve professional compatibility. On the other hand, they want to avoid the limelight. After attacking Duke Island and Silver Moon Island, both the Federation and the Blood Tribe have greatly increased their attention to the [Black Swan]. Indicates that it is uncertain when a fatal blow will be launched. Its better to stay away from the edge for a while and develop in a humble way for a while. Of course, there is another important reason. The strength of this copy of [Coral City] can no longer keep up with Xia Ens strength. It is necessary to find a new leveling treasure for [Submarine]. ?Taken together, the [Lenglie Sea] adjacent to the [Sea of ??Tranquility] is undoubtedly the best target. The cold sea Hearing this, Fei Ya looked thoughtful: "According to legend, it is a sea that is cold all year round." There is a mysterious cold current that hangs over the sea all year round. From time to time, mysterious icebergs rise from the bottom of the sea and turn into land. They also become a temporary haven and navigation mark for ships at sea. There are also strange glares, cold winds and sea fog, and the cold and harsh environment has led to a small number of residents on the islands there. ??Joy also added: "By the way, I saw it in a book about geography..." Before being flooded by the great flood, the area where the Cold Sea was was the territory where the elves lived! (End of this chapter) Chapter 153 [Magic Heavy Cannon], the bottom BOSS of [Coral City]! Chapter 153 [Magic Heavy Cannon], the final BOSS of [Coral City]! The territory of elves? ?Hearing Joey''s words, Shane raised his eyebrows in surprise. He really didnt expect such a connection. ?But it just so happens that both An and Vivian have a close relationship with elves. ?Perhaps there will be some unexpected gains during this trip to [Lengliehai]. As the moon hung high in the sky, the night gradually became darker, and it was time for the celebration banquet to end. ?After the crew members went to the cabin to rest one after another, Shane took out a special cannon from the space ring and placed it on the deck. Xia En touched the mast next to him and said softly: "Xiao Hei, this is my gift to you." Owner! ?Xiao Heis moved voice rang out. Wow, I thought you had forgotten me. How is it possible? Xia En said seriously: "We have been able to escape from danger several times, and you are the biggest contributor." Look at this heavy cannon, do you like it? At this time, the heavy artillery placed on the bow of the ship was different from the artillery installed before. ?It has a thick lavender barrel, and the outer shell is partially decorated with silver, thorn-like carvings, with fine mysterious runes engraved on it. Compared with [Silent Kill] and other artillery pieces, it looks particularly delicate and gorgeous. It was like an elegant noble lady sneaking into the residence of a group of reckless rough guys, looking a little out of place. In fact, this heavy artillery has broken away from the category of ordinary artillery, and even relies on completely different energy. Magic Heavy Cannon Quality: Epic Type: Component [Description: Heavy artillery powered by magic energy, derived from the magic energy technology mastered by scholars of the previous era. Equipped on a ship, it can increase the "firepower" attribute by 20 points! Each time a magic energy beam is fired, it needs to be charged in advance. The power of the magic energy beam fluctuates up and down according to the charging time. The ultimate power under normal conditions is approximately equal to the full blow of a third-level mystic. You can temporarily enter the "liberation" state. After extreme charging, the power of the beam will reach the fourth level! ??However, the "liberation" state will also cause serious damage to the heavy artillery, and it cannot be used again in a short period of time. "Devil Power Heavy Artillery Kills the Mystic Path" That''s right, this heavy cannon doesn''t even need cannonballs, but directly fires magic energy beams! ??This is also the highlight of the Luan Sin Islands auction. Xia En spent hundreds of gold dragon coins to buy it. ?Although the money was a bit painful for him to spend, the [Firepower] attribute of 20 points and the attack power in the [Liberation] state were comparable to those of a fourth-level Mystic... ?Xia En feels that the money is well spent! Although the power of artillery such as [Silent Kill] is not bad, its greater role is to clear out miscellaneous soldiers, and it cannot cause real damage to the powerful Mystic Path. The [Magic Heavy Cannon] can be used as the main gun of the [Black Swan], delivering a fatal blow to the enemy at the critical moment. Furthermore, according to experience, this thing can also be strengthened with [Filth Crystal]. The enhanced effect will only become more abnormal and powerful. Thinking of this, Xia En directly waved his hand and poured 100 points of [Filthy Crystals] into the [Magic Heavy Cannon]. As the dark and cold energy is poured into it. Visible to the naked eye, the lines on the surface of this heavy cannon began to squirm, twist, and flicker with indescribable and magnificent starlight. ?Some special activity is awakening from its body. Crystal of filth-100! Estimated strengthening time: 14 days! Well, its easy to spend money but hard to make money ??Xia En glanced at his space ring and couldn''t help but sigh. After this large purchase, especially the awards given to each crew member, his savings dropped sharply from more than 3,000 gold dragon coins to 500 gold dragon coins. Its really a waste of money! Soon, after the [Magic Heavy Cannon] was placed at the bow of the ship. Captain''s Majestyenhances the attributes and acts on Xia En at the same time. The majestic secret power quickly spread to his limbs and bones like a wave, and moistened his whole body like a warm current, strengthening his body. Indescribable comfort and comfort. In fact, during this period, the attributes of Shane and [Black Swan] have also improved a lot. Ship: Black Swan (+1) Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (63%) Attributes: Firepower 61, Speed ??55, Solidity 53, Mystery 49 Comprehensive quality: 1.4! At the moment, [Firepower] has suddenly become Xia Ens highest attribute. ?This is not only due to the [Magic Heavy Cannon], but also thanks to a batch of artillery plundered from the [Blood Duke]. The enlarged and widened hull can naturally accommodate more artillery pieces. After being strengthened by [Crystal of Filth], these secondary guns have powerful power. The rapid improvement of [Speed] relies on the newly assembled [Heart of Steam]. ?After looting Duke Nova''s treasury and the castle on Silver Moon Island, Xiao Zhan was directly equipped with a full 10 [Hearts of Steam], which brought about such a large increase. Now, it is [Sturdiness] and [Mystery] that have become Xia En''s shortcomings. SturdinessIt''s easy to say. After the hull is upgraded, this attribute will be greatly improved. But the [mysterious] attribute will only increase under some special circumstances, which is a bit of a chance. If we work harder, we will be able to upgrade the hull for the second time soon. ?Xia En glanced at the [Comprehensive Quality] column and felt quite dumbfounded. Now, I can be considered a strong person with a comprehensive quality of 1 or above? However, after the attribute has been improved today, its time to come to an end. Xia En returned to the captain''s cabin and waited quietly for the number of submersibles to be refreshed. When the font of [submarine] lit up, he recited decisively in his heart. Submarine, start! Choose the location of [Anchor Point]Coral City! The next moment. ?The scene in front of me is fleeting, and the familiar feeling of sea water is coming from all directions. Opening his eyes again, the gate of the Royal Court of [Coral City] came into view of Xia En. Compared with half a month ago. The environment inside the palace has become too tidy, and the deformed and twisted corals are gone, not to mention the coral monsters hiding in them. During this period, of course Xia En will not waste the number of [submersibles] every day. Even if you dont have much experience points, mosquito legs are still meat! ?Moreover, in the deepest part of the Silver Ash Royal Court, Xia En also encountered a powerful enemy who killed his projection body several times. ?At present, after the attributes have been improved again, Xia En believes that it is time to eliminate the BOSS at the end of the level. ?Stepping into the gate of the royal court, Xia En walked into the depths of the palace with ease. In the corner here, you can still see a few sporadic silver-white coral monsters. ?However, before Xia En could get closer, these monsters showed frightened expressions and fled away from him in a panic. The one or two who didn''t have time to escape simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. The slightly trembling bodies are enough to illustrate their fear. There is no other reason. ?These days, too many coral monsters have died in Xia En''s hands. Even monsters like them, which are almost irrational, have been killed and cast out of their psychological shadow. Seeing this, Xia En shook his head helplessly: "Why are you running? Am I so scary?" The coral monsters trembled even more. Under normal circumstances, Xia En wouldn''t mind chasing after them and killing them all. But this time, he had more important goals to solve, and he had no time to clean up these mobs for the time being. ? Walking all the way through the gorgeous and spacious corridor, the surrounding water seemed to become more and more quiet, and there was a vague invisible pressure coming from the deepest part of the corridor. Various portraits hang on the walls on both sides. They are sealed with special glass, so they are not corroded by sea water and are very well preserved. It can be seen that most of these portraits are of the former royal family members of the Southon Kingdom, as well as celebrities and great figures from various industries of that era. With the help of these portraits, Xia En was able to know the identity of the boss at the end of the corridor. Not long. The rotten door was slowly pushed open, and Xia En walked into the hall. Everything you see is silvery gray. ?Walls, carpets, lighting, thrones, corals... are all dyed silver-gray, giving people a strong sense of stagnation. It is as if the time of this hall was fixed on a day hundreds of years ago. There has been no movement since. Upon noticing Xia En''s arrival, the being on the throne looked at him and spoke hoarsely. Youre here again. Why do you have to hinder me? "Obviously...I will succeed soon! I will be able to save everyone soon!" ?Xia En looked at the other party, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. The being on the throne is not a human form, but a huge, bloated, and deformed mass of flesh. Its head has the face of a middle-aged man. ?The majestic look on his face showed sullenness, as if he was angry at Xia En''s offense. On its torso, there are silver-gray corals all over, as well as human faces with eyes closed one after another, as if they have fallen into eternal sleep. As early as the first meeting, Xia En recognized the identity of the other party The king of the Kingdom of Shoton! ?Those sleeping faces are members of the royal family and important ministers. It is not difficult to guess that after discovering that the process of "coralization" became irreversible, the king tried to use some means to protect the "polluters" who had turned into corals. Thus, only the silver-gray palace was formed. Its just that maybe the long time and loneliness polluted the kings mind, or it was the instinct of the [Polluter]. He merged with the other people in this palace, eventually forming the monster before him. The saddest thing is... Until now, this monster still regards himself as the king of the Kingdom of Shoton and thinks that he is saving this kingdom that has been destroyed. ?Xia En silently took out a dark sword and walked step by step towards the monster on the throne. This great sword is a weapon made from the "Black Stone Dragon Turtle''s Horn". In addition to this important main material, Xia En also invested in many rare materials. I have to say that although the craftsmen in the Luansi Islands are very expensive, their efficiency is indeed ridiculously high. ??The sword''s body is pitch black, and the handle is embellished with white keels. It looks mysterious and ominous, and exudes a touch of coercion. Shane named it Big sword, black dragon! For coral monsters with little blood, this sword is obviously more useful than the Blood Demon Sword. Facing Xia En, who was approaching, the "King" had a trace of ridicule in his eyes. "It seems that the previous failure failed to teach you a lesson. Your strength... is too weak!" Boom There was a muffled sound in the sea water. ??Xia En''s body turned into a black shadow, and the [Black Dragon] in his hand hit the "King"''s chest with the force of thunder. Dang! ?Suddenly, an arm holding a sword stretched out from the "King''s" chest. The long sword collided with the [Black Dragon], and the terrible force was transmitted down the arm into the body of the "King", causing his complexion to change slightly. ?How did this guy''s power increase so much? Every time he fights this strange black shadow, the "King" can feel that the opponent is getting stronger than the last time. But this time, the intensity of the black shadow seems to be even more exaggerated! Laus, Facardo, come out! The "King" suppressed his uneasiness and let out an angry shout. In an instant, the two faces on his body opened their eyes and said respectfully. I will obey your Majestys will! Soon, another arm came out from the "King''s" back. ? Such a weird situation is enough to make people feel numb. ?Shane is no stranger to this scene. He also knew that Raus and Fakado were the strongest sword masters in the Shuton Kingdom. At this moment, they are reborn in the "King" in this way! ?These two arms perform different sword skills respectively. The long sword in one hand burned with blue flames, and veins spread and flowed along the sword''s light. The long sword in the other hand danced gracefully, and in the process, crimson blood lotuses were born, heading straight towards Xia En. These two sword techniques are at least as powerful as those of a third-level Mystic Path user! ??As for this fancy offensive, Xia En just slashed out with a simple sword! Boom! In the turbulence of the sea water, the black sword light split the flames, cut off the blood lotus, and pointed directly at the chest of the "King" with unstoppable momentum. Shilata! "King" shouted again, and a woman''s face came to life. Immediately, a layer of azure barrier emerged, guarding him. ! ??The moment it came into contact with the sword light, violent ripples appeared on the surface of the azure barrier. At the same time, the woman''s face also showed a look of pain, as if she had been severely injured. But she blocked the sword in the end. Stupid outsider. The "King" spoke condescendingly: "You are not making an enemy of me alone, but you are making an enemy of the most elite and powerful people in the Shuton Kingdom!" ?Xia En had no idea of ??talking to him, but just said to himself in his heart. At this stage, I can only do this... Xiao Hei, give me a helping hand! Yes, Master! ˡ! The heartbeat is accelerating, and the gurgling heat is transmitted to every corner of the body along with the blood. The entire projected body becomes more solid visible to the naked eye, as if there is another shadow overlapping it. As he accumulated strength, the black dragon sword in his hand began to glow with a deep black light, as if the shadow of the giant dragon gradually emerged. The next moment! With the faint roar of a dragon, the sword slashed down like an angry dragon! (End of this chapter) Chapter 154 Clear [Coral City] and another golden legend! Chapter 154 Cleared [Coral City] Another golden legend! The power of this sword is extremely terrifying. It seems that even the sea water has been divided into two, forming a vacuum zone in this deep underwater palace! But just when the black dragon sword was about to fall on the "king". A touch of silver-gray color suddenly clung to the sword''s body. Suddenly, a strong sense of stagnation was transmitted from the sword to Xia En''s arm. ?It was not the feeling of falling into some defensive barrier or being blocked by some move, but more like... The Black Dragon Great Sword and the time it is in are slowly coming to a standstill! ?Xia En frowned slightly. He had guessed before that the secret power of silver gray might be related to time and space. Now, this strong feeling of obstruction undoubtedly proved his conjecture. The King wants to freeze himself and the royal family members at the moment when the disaster strikes, and hopes to eliminate the pollution caused by coral in the future. Just looking at it now, the "King''s" attempt has mostly failed. ?However, this also proves... ??Although this silver-gray secret power is very extraordinary, it cannot completely stop time and space. In other words, there is an upper limit to its ability to freeze time and space! In this case, what Xia En has to do is very simple. Find this upper limit and break it! Originally I didnt want to use the three-stage ?Xia En sighed softly in his heart, but still held the [Giant Wristwheel] in his right hand. Transform! ??Rumble ??A terrifying roar like thunder erupted from the inside of Xia En''s body. Immediately, under the shocked gaze of the "King", the black shadow expanded at an incredible speed, breaking through the ceiling above and standing in this silver-gray hall. In the previous challenge to the "King", Shane never used this transformation ability. On the one hand, he wanted to steal a skill or two from the other strong men in the "King". On the other hand, because the giant''s body is too large, it will cause considerable damage to the palace during battle. But today, Xia En came with the determination to clear the dungeon, so naturally he didn''t care about this small detail. Looking at the giant shadow in front of him, a hint of horror flashed in the "King''s" eyes. ?The oppressive feeling of this huge body and the mysterious feeling brought by the chaotic and blurry light and shadow were intertwined, making him feel frightened for a moment. Its almost like In front of this giant, he is the challenger! Descendants of giants? Or some other special secret technique? The "King" murmured in disbelief: "Who are you?" ?Xia En still didnt answer his question, but silently raised his right hand and slowly clenched it in his palm. At the same time, veins popped up on his face, neck, and arms, as if there were **** dragons swimming inside them. The illusory blood that should not exist is rushing, coupled with the long breathing... The blood energy in the shape of an ancient dragon emerges from the body surface, and gradually condenses into a giant sword made of blood energy. This giant sword is far larger than the Blood Demon Sword. It is a terrifying weapon that can only be used by giants! In an instant. The "King" felt that the atmosphere of this silver-gray hall had rapidly undergone incredible changes. Becoming more and more solemn and solemn! ?This place seems to be no longer his palace, but a sacred court of justice! He is no longer the king here, but just a prisoner on trial! The terrifying giant in front of him is the judge who judges his crimes! Such a contrast made the "King" feel uneasy and also made him extremely angry. ?He hissed and roared: "You traitor!" I am the king, and I am the king of the Kingdom of Shoton! The "King''s" face was twisted and ferocious. The deformed corals began to squirm and grow from his body surface, and the faces of men and women also looked extremely painful. Following that, a silver-gray halo spread outwards with him as the center. ?Everything shrouded by it slows down uncontrollably and stands still with the stagnant time. Even the heavy and solid sea water around it is no exception. ??The only thing still moving is the **** giant sword that was chopped down from a high place with the meaning of "Judgment"! ?That terrifyingly exaggerated power, in the crudest and most direct way, broke through the upper limit of the silver-grey secret power and broke into this static time and space! Click! Somewhere, it seemed as if some shackles were broken. At this moment, Xia En felt that his understanding of [Judgment] had reached a whole new level. Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared in the sea water dyed silver gray. Click click In less than a breath, the second, third, and countless cracks began to expand outward. ?The silvery gray color of everything in this hall is quickly disintegrating like snowflakes, and then fading away. The same is true for the "king" on the throne. Nono! Looking at the spiderweb-like cracks on his body, the "King" opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand, trying to grab the silver-gray fragments. ?However, everything is in vain. ?Those silver-gray fragments continued to flow and peel off from his body, just like sand passing between the fingers of his hands. The more he tried to hold on, the faster it passed. ?As the silver-gray shell collapsed, one after another human faces woke up and opened their eyes. Your Majesty, where are we? I, why did I become like this? This is the royal palace? How did it become like this? Where is the kingdom? Have the civilians in the kingdom survived? They looked at the scene around them in confusion and confusion, and were horrified by what they looked like at this time. At this moment, a girl gradually woke up from the "King''s" chest. Father? ?The girl''s confused voice briefly pulled the "King" back from despair, and he quickly asked with concern. Annie? Are you awake? Father, have you succeeded? Has the kingdom been saved? ?This question is undoubtedly like a spear that pierces the heart of the "King". His eyes shed tears of blood, and he muttered to himself painfully and unwillingly. Failedfailedfailed I couldnt save you, and I couldnt save the people of the kingdom. In the end, I couldnt do anything. The girl was stunned for a moment, but then she said, "Father, this is not your fault." I know that you have worked very hard and you have tried every means to save our country... ?Perhaps it was the comfort of his daughter or the feeling of approaching death that changed the "King''s" mentality and allowed him to regain a little bit of humanity. He raised his head, looked at Xia En who had shrunk back to his normal form not far away, and murmured. "you are right." I am just a sinner now, and its time to wake up from this dream. ??Said, "The King" stretched out his hand to Xia En. A silver-gray, pocket-watch-like object separated from his body and floated in front of Xia En. Then, the "King''s" bloated body, as bloated as sarcoma, quickly collapsed like inactive dead mud - along with the faces with different expressions. In an instant, there was only a puddle of pale mud left on the throne. Looking at this scene, Xia En felt a little emotional. The reason why the royal capital of the Kingdom of Shoton became such a coral city was because the king chose the wrong path. But if his attempt to coralize was successful, it would have allowed many civilians to survive the flood. It is difficult to make a conclusion easily whether he is a sinner or a wise king. ?However, that''s not what Xia En cares about. He picked up the silver-gray pocket watch in the sea water. ?Several lines of information appear in front of you. In a flash of time Quality: Legend Type: Taboo Relic Description: A pocket watch containing the power of time, which can freeze time for 1 second other than the holder of the pocket watch. ??However, every time the freeze ability is used, the flow of time around the holder will slow down for a period of time. The more times it is used, the slower the time flow and the wider the scope. After using it ten times, it will enter the "eternal freeze" state, and you will be in a frozen time. Those who try to control time will eventually be controlled by time. Current number of uses: 0/10 Golden legend! ?Xia Ens eyes suddenly opened wide. ??It is indeed the end BOSS of the coral dungeon that I have played for so long, and the rewards given are extraordinary! After seeing this description clearly, Xia En''s mood was a little complicated. Is this [Instant Time] strong? ?Of course its strong! This is similar to the "time stop" effect, which has the ability to reverse the situation of the battle in any situation. One second, for a Mystic like Xia En, a lot can be done. But this negative effect of slowing down the flow of time is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary relics. It''s okay for a short period of time, but if it lasts for a long time, it will undoubtedly cause extremely serious consequences. The [Eternal Freeze] after using it ten times reminded Xia En of the scene in this hall. ?If he guessed correctly, the king probably wanted to use this side effect in turn to protect his daughter and other royal members. ?However, it is also possible that he did not use it for the tenth time before he had already produced this terrible stagnation effect. It seems that this thing can only be used at extremely critical moments. Subsequently, Xia En walked to the corpse in front of the throne and absorbed the [Secret Sea Crystal] from it. Ship Spirit Level: LV4 (73%) Talent: High-speed Regeneration (Rare) (Precious)! Feeling the cool power pouring into his body, a smile appeared on Xia En''s lips. One step closer to LV5! And [High-speed Regeneration], the talent obtained from the coral monsters, has also reached a higher level. Although the projected body during [Deep Sea Submersible] will not be affected by injuries such as bleeding and poisoning, the improvement in regeneration ability can increase the [Submarine] time in disguise. Not to mention, on the sea, this talent greatly enhanced Xia En''s endurance. It is very useful. ?However, I watched the silver-gray color in front of me fade away, turning into a normal, empty hall. ?Xia En felt a little lost for no reason. The resolution of the BOSS at the end of the level means that the copy of [Coral City] has been cleared by him. It''s a bit like reading a novel or a movie. It''s not really nostalgic, but at most a little emotional. By the way, I have to explain this to the Queen of the Sea Tribe. ?Thinking of this, Xia En quickly swam out of the palace. As soon as he swam out of the gate, he saw a few faint lights coming from the sea water above. ?It was still night at this time, and the sea water seemed particularly deep and quiet. ??Looking carefully, I found that several maids from the sea tribe were slowly swimming towards me holding night pearls. Surrounded by them, the petite Queen of the Sea Clan was trying hard to straighten her waist to make herself look taller. Xia En took the initiative to swim up and said, "Queen, why are you here late at night?" Luticia looked at him with burning eyes, a hint of joy in her tone. God has enabled you to ask questions knowingly. I just sensed that some kind of restriction in the palace has been broken. I think it must have been something that God has done, right? A flash of thought flashed in Xia En''s eyes: "Is it prohibited?" He had never understood before why there was a ban on the sea people in the palace. After seeing the king, Xia En had an answer in his mind. ?This kind of prohibition is not only to protect the king and others in the palace, but also to protect the people of the Shoton Kingdom who have taken another path. ?Of course, this is just Xia Ens guess. What is the truth? Probably only the dead king knows it, right? ??Now that Luticia is in front of her, Xia En simply tells her about what happened in the palace. Finally, Shane said: "I have fulfilled the promise I made to you." I will probably not appear in this city again in the next period of time. Luticia was not surprised by this answer. But there is still some regret in my heart. ???If she were more than ten years younger, she would definitely try to use her beauty to keep the divine envoy, and it would be better if she could have a few children to expand the Sea Clan''s population. But now... Luticia sighed slightly and said seriously: "Mr. Divine Envoy, on behalf of the sea people in Coral City, thank you for everything you have done." You will be our friend forever! I will tell your successors about your deeds, and the door of the Coral City will always be open to you! Xia En nodded in disbelief. Who can say for sure what will happen next? But at least now, his communication with this wise queen of the sea tribe is quite pleasant. The morning of the next day. ??Xia En was walking on the streets of the Chaos Islands, doing the last round of shopping. ?The targets of this procurement are coal, kerosene and other fuels, as well as various heating devices. After all, the next destination is [Lenglie Sea]! There are not too many supplies to keep you warm. After finishing the shopping, Xia En walked towards the port. Along the way, I could notice the thoughtful looks of other pirates, and several pirates volunteered to become the crew of the Black Swan. There are many people who are famous for their right and wrong. ?After the bounty was posted and Mr. Heller named him in public, Shane was considered a somewhat famous person on the Sin Islands. ?Its just that Xia Ens vision is higher now, and ordinary pirates really cant catch his eye. In addition, the current manpower of [Black Swan] is not particularly scarce. ??Xia En did not rush to recruit new crew members. ??Just when Xia En came to the port, an uninvited guest walked behind him. Captain Shane, please stay. (End of this chapter) Chapter 155 The [Truth Society] appeared and the [Black Swan] disappeared! Chapter 155 [The Society of Truth] appears, and the [Black Swan] disappears! Captain Shane, please stay. Hearing this, Xia En turned around and saw a man with a unique temperament walking towards him. ??He has dark gray hair and an unremarkable appearance, as if he would be quickly overwhelmed if thrown into the crowd. The only memory point is the teardrop mole under his right eye. ?However, just such an ordinary-looking man gave Xia En a strong warning sign for no reason. ?My heartbeat is racing, my hairs are standing on end, and I even have the urge to run away on the spot. This is a human reaction that occurs when facing a stronger person. Xia En felt awe-struck, but on the surface he remained calm and asked: "...Who is your Excellency?" ??The gray-haired man chuckled and said: "I have many names, but the one I like better is-" The one who changes a lot, Ash. ?Hearing this name, Xia En''s heart instantly stirred up huge waves. Even someone like him, who didnt know much about the famous people on the Seven Seas, had heard of this name before. ?According to legend, the [Thousand-Changer] can change into countless faces, and can perfectly replicate the abilities, talents, and personalities of others. With this ability, he has been lurking on several islands for several years, either uncovering the deepest secrets of those islands, stealing precious treasures, or overthrowing the rule of the archons on the islands. No one knows the true appearance of the Thousand Changers. ?Even if he appeared in front of Xia En, the face at this time might just be a fake one. The most important thing is... Thousand Changesis the Inspectorofficially appointed by the federal government! ?In addition to the personal power of the consuls on each island, the federation will also set up an "Inspection Bureau" for checks, balances and supervision. However, no matter how well the rules are formulated, if they are not supervised, sooner or later they will deteriorate. ?Hidden inspectors like [Thousand Changers] are used to prevent the Inspectorate and the Archon from collaborating. To put it simply... they are agents! Xia En looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and he was more convinced that he was telling the truth. After all, there is no benefit in pretending to be a [Thousand Changer]. ?So the question is, why did [Thousand Changers] appear in [Chaotic Islands] and find me? Is it for the high reward? Is it the revenge of the vampires? Or, do other high-level officials in the federation want to get in touch with themselves? As if he could see what Xia En was thinking, Ash said lightly: "I have nothing to do with those vampires that exude the rotten smell. I came here just to confirm some things." "Speaking." First question, have you come into contact with or obtained [Ember Treasure]? Hearing this question, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. How did Ash know that he was related to the [Ember Treasure]? Is it because of [Salary Kings Certificate]? Xia En replied calmly: "There have been some contacts." Ashus seemed to have known the answer to this question for a long time. There was no surprise on his face and he continued to ask: "The second question..." Have you ever seen a coffin made of special crystal? ?Xia En frowned slightly. If the first question about the [Ember Treasure] can be explained by the [Significant King''s Certificate], then the second question gave him a strong foreboding feeling. Obviously, this [Thousand Changer] Ashiu is here for him! ??? Before Xia En could answer, Ash asked the third question. How much do you know about the origin of the crew member called the White-haired Banshee? Xia En''s eyes narrowed, his tone was no longer as calm as before, and he asked. Who are you, Your Excellency? Ash smiled lightly and said, "Didn''t I already say it? I''m just an ordinary [Thousand-Changeer]." At this time, Xia En''s vigilance had reached its extreme. ?There are many people in the Seven Seas who know about the [Ember Treasure], but whether it is the crystal coffin where the ghost lady is, or Joey''s life experience, it should be a secret that only he knows. Thousand Changescan easily ask these questions, either because he has the secret ability to pry into memories, or because he has a connection with both. As for the forces that fit the latter category, as far as Xia En knows, there is only one - The mysterious [Truth Society]! And the [Thousand Changers] are official members of the Federation... It is not difficult to guess that, similar to the situation of the Vampires, the Federation also has the infiltration of the [Truth Society]. But compared to the Vampire Clan, the [Truth Society] is more mysterious and powerful, like an invisible big hand, controlling the evolution and process of history. ?Now, what is displayed in front of Xia En is only the tip of the huge iceberg on the sea. Mr. Captain! ?At this moment, Joeys voice came from the deck of the [Black Swan]. Everyone is ready, when will we set off? not good! Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. ??If Ash is really related to the [Truth Society], no one knows what will happen when he sees Joey now. Xia En suddenly turned his head and looked at Ash. ?But the strange thing is that the gray-haired man who was by his side just now disappeared without knowing it, as if he had never appeared. Captain, who are you talking to? Fei Ya seemed to have noticed something. She came to Xia En from the deck and looked doubtfully at the location where Ash was just now. ?Shaan frowned and asked, "Didn''t you see that man?" "man?" Fei Ya said uncertainly: "There seemed to be a figure next to you just now, but whether it was a man or a woman and what his appearance was, I have no idea." Wait, was there really a second person here just now? ?His words sounded a little inconsistent, but they made Xia En feel horrified. Because, recalling it carefully, the impression of [Thousand Changers] in his mind was quickly becoming blurred and faded, and even...he no longer remembered the other person''s name! ??Xia En made a prompt decision, took out a pen and paper from the space ring, and recorded the information he still remembered. You met a man who calls himself "The Thousand Changers". His hair is dark gray and there is a mole in the corner of his eye. He asked you about the "Ember Treasure" and Joey, which seems to be related to "..." ??As his expression became more solemn, Xia En''s writing gradually paused. What is it related to? Why did the other party ask about [Ember Treasure] and Joey? What are the specific questions asked? He no longer remembers. But a strong and ominous premonition hung over Xia En''s heart like a dark cloud. ??Although he didn''t know where this feeling came from, this intuition had saved his life several times. Without hesitation, Xia En took Fei Ya back to the deck of the Black Swan and gave the order. We set sail and go to sea, now! And, full speed ahead! ?All the crew members were a little confused, but their unconditional trust in the captain made them obey the order immediately. Yes, Captain! It didnt take long. ?After a loud whistle blew, the [Black Swan] set off from the port of the Chaos Islands and continued to move towards the cold waters of the north. Soon, an ordinary pirate ship quietly left the port behind it. Since this pirate ship is not well-known and its hull is even smaller than the Black Swan, not to mention Xia En, even the other pirates on the Sin Islands did not pay much attention to it. Just, on this ship. ??A graceful woman with gray hair was looking at the [Black Swan] in front of her with great interest, showing a meaningful smile. "Living ship, holy blood species, ember treasure..." "Captain Shane, you really gave me a lot of unexpected surprises. There must be a bigger secret in you." However, the more this is the case, the less likely you are to continue exploring. ??The gray-haired woman murmured to herself: "Everything is exactly the choice of [Truth]..." The strange thing is that all the pirates on the ship seemed not to have seen this woman. ?Not long after, the small pirate ship followed the Black Swan away from the Chaos Islands and came to the open and vast sea. Its almost time. Just when [Thousand Changer] was about to take action, the shadow behind her suddenly twisted and squirmed, and a man with seaweed-like black hair and strange tattoos carved on his face came out. It is Mr. Heller, one of the seven stewards of the Sin Islands, who had had contact with Shane. ?Heller looked at the gray-haired woman and asked calmly: "[Thousand Changers] Ash? Perhaps, I should call you...the madman who chases [Truth], [Truth No. 107Gray Mask]?" Axiu did not expect Heller''s arrival, but after hearing these words, she couldn''t help laughing mockingly. You [Insect of the Nether Sect] dare to call me crazy? The truly crazy ones are obviously your followers who want to drag the whole world into the deep sea. ?Heller didnt speak, just looked at each other silently. ?There were strange tentacles quietly growing out of the shadows under his feet and behind him. Seeing this, the smile on Ash''s face faded little by little, and he asked unexpectedly: "You want to be my enemy? Why?" Although the [Truth Society] and the [Youshu Sect] have never been easy to deal with due to their beliefs, neither side wanted to provoke the other, so there was no real enmity. Thats why Hellers behavior seemed particularly abnormal at this moment. Because of him? Ash looked thoughtfully at the [Black Swan] not far away, with ripples in his heart. Even the [Netherworld Sect] has noticed how extraordinary Xia En is? But their attitude seems to be more protective? Why is this? It seems that a fight must be fought. Before Ash could finish her words, a strange shadow enveloped her and Heller''s bodies. The next moment, the world in front of you was spinning. The two of them appeared together on an uninhabited island. Soon, an extremely fierce battle broke out between them. The terrifying secret power and fluctuations quickly spread to the entire island, causing violent vibrations on the island. The ground continued to crack, and trees fell down like wheat. Finally, half an hour later, with a loud noise, the unfortunate island collapsed and sank into the sea. No one knows about this battle on the sea. ??Xia En is controlling the [Black Swan] heading north at full speed. ?For some reason, most of the ominous premonition that had previously enveloped my heart quietly dissipated. ?Shaan doesnt think there is such a coincidence in the world. He turned back to look at the Chaosi Islands that were getting further and further away in his field of vision, and thought in his mind. The source of this sense of crisis is probably this [Thousand-Changeer]. And [Ember Treasure] and Joey are involved at the same time, could it be...the [Truth Society]?! ??After losing part of his memory, Shane still surmised this with the only information. So, the person who helped me stop him...was Mr. Heller? ?This speculation is not unreasonable. After all, the only powerful person that Xia En knows in the Luosi Islands is Heller from the "Netherworld Sect". Coupled with the goodwill he released previously, this is really the only possibility. If its really him, I owe you a big favor now. ?Xia En sighed softly in his heart. At the same time, the slight complacency he had previously felt due to breaking through the third level had also disappeared. Instead, there is a strong sense of urgency. Xia En realized that as his exposure to secrets increased and his reputation spread, whether he thought about it or not, there would be existences with different purposes like the [Secret Sect] and the [Truth Society] coming to him. If you want to maintain yourself in this situation and protect yourself and the safety of your crew, you can only continue to improve your strength! The case of "Coral City" "King" is still clearly before Xia En''s eyes. The "King" is responsible for the fate of the entire kingdom, and as the captain, every decision he makes will also determine the survival of the entire ship! ?Suddenly, Joey looked at the sea in front of him and shouted in surprise. Mr. Captain, there is a whirlpool right in front of the ship! "Um?" Shaan immediately looked forward. ??On the blue sea surface, the sea water was constantly rotating and surging, forming a vortex with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and strong suction was constantly coming, pulling the [Black Swan] into it. This situation is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for ordinary ships. But with the current performance of [Black Swan], it can easily break out of this vortex with just one acceleration sprint. only ?Shaan looked towards the center of the vortex. ?The sea water there is particularly deep and deep, and exudes an indescribable sense of intimacy. Its like, its calling itself? With the help of the profession of [Deep Sea Beloved], it is not difficult for Xia En to guess that this whirlpool is probably the work of [The Deep Sea Sect]. "Is this a back-up method left by Heller? Does it mean that...even he doesn''t have the confidence to stop [Thousand Changers] for how long?" After a brief thought, Xia En decided to act according to his intuition. ??Not only did he not escape from the vortex, he drove the [Black Swan] towards the center of the vortex! ?Such an abnormal behavior also attracted the attention of several nearby pirate ships. Damn it, is the captain of that ship crazy? He actually rushed towards the center of the whirlpool? Wait a minutethat ship is the [Black Swan]! Is this whirlpool a killing move aimed at him!? ??Amid the astonished gazes of all the pirates, the [Black Swan] was like a moth flying into the flames, rushing into the center of the whirlpool regardless of its own safety, and was quickly swallowed by the deep sea water. Soon, it disappeared. [Black Swan] sank like this? This, this is too..." Isnt that much bounty wasted in vain? ?In the next few days, rumors began to spread on the Rebellion Islands that "[Black Swan] has sunk". But the strange thing is that when the pirate ships came to the calm sea and wanted to salvage the sunken ship, no one could find it. ?Over time, the "disappeared [Black Swan]" has become one of the strange and curious legends among pirates. Set the time back to when the [Black Swan] was swallowed by the whirlpool. After a violent turbulence and turbulence. ?Xia En opened his eyes again and saw a sea area with floating ice floes and filled with sea fog. (End of this chapter) Chapter 156 The first [submersible] of [Cold Sea] Chapter 156 [Cold Lie Sea] The First [Submarine] This is... the cold sea? Xia En calmed down, looked around, and quickly came to a conclusion. ?The temperature in the air has dropped significantly, the white mist exhaled from the mouth and nose when breathing, and the ice floes that appear and disappear on the sea... all prove this. You should know that there is a long distance between the Luansi Islands and the [Lenglie Sea]. Even if the [Black Swan] is allowed to travel at full speed, it will still take half a month. But now The real function of that vortex...is space teleportation? Xia En suddenly woke up. ?After being swallowed up by the deep whirlpool, the [Black Swan] seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier, and then experienced violent turbulence before reaching this sea area. ?Now that I think about it, that turbulence was probably the so-called [space turbulence]! ?Such extraordinary secrets involving space are certainly surprising, but Xia En has no time to think deeply about it at this time. He quickly looked towards the deck, looking for the crew members. Joy! Feiya! Ann! Mr. Captain, I am Not far away, Joey stood up holding on to the mast and asked in a daze: "I feel so dizzy. What just happened?" Soon, Fei Ya and others came to Xia En from all over the [Black Swan], and even the ghost lady Vivian came to join in the fun. After confirming that all the crew members were on board, Shane couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. Due to the open barrier of [Deep Fear] on the hull, the hull of [Black Swan] was almost not damaged by the whirlpool, and only lost 3 points of durability. With the current self-healing power of [Black Swan], it can be restored in less than half an hour. This is the [Lenglie Sea]? Its really cold enough. " Feiya stood on the deck, looked around at the sea, and couldn''t help but shudder. ?He analyzed from a professional perspective: "In this environment, even if there are heating measures, the efficiency of the steam turbine will be reduced a lot." Also, the steam plant must be kept running at all times, otherwise pipes and gears are likely to freeze. Xia En had expected this and said, "Fei Ya, you will have to work hard in the next period of time." Leave it to me. Feiya''s attitude was as reliable as ever: "Originally, I would communicate with them every day." Captain, look, what kind of animal is that? ?At this time, Joeys exclamation attracted Xia Ens attention. He turned around and saw a fat, black-and-white bird lying on its side on an ice floe on the sea. Thats...a penguin? Xia En''s eyelids twitched. He suddenly realized an important problem. ?That deep whirlpool indeed sent the [Black Swan] to the [Cold Sea] in the north, but here...is the "north" too much? Xia En thought in his mind: "The first task now is to find an island or an iconic landmark and determine the location of the [Black Swan]." ?However, these are things that only Captain Shane needs to consider. ?Joy and Xian Ge were like children on a trip, curiously looking at this strange sea area and secretly amazed by the creatures they had never seen before. Oh? Is that fat bird called a penguin? Vivian appeared next to Xia En mysteriously, and said with a smile: "I remember that this kind of bird tastes quite delicious, why don''t we catch one?" The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. Sister, you are a ghost, why are you so obsessed with eating? After complaining, Xia En suddenly felt something in his heart. How could Vivian, who had been imprisoned in the foggy sea for hundreds of years, see penguins? unless This comes from her more distant memory. Combined with the information about Vivian and the destruction of the elves, the credibility of the legend that "[Lenglie Sea] was once the territory of the elves" seems to have increased a bit. Due to the cold weather, the crew members needed to put on new thicker and warmer clothes, and Shane also took this time to return to the captain''s cabin. Since you have nothing to do, you might as well [submarine] once and try the deep waters of the [Cold Sea]. ?Thinking of this, Xia En opened the panel. Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Start diving? "yes!" ??As Xia En''s thoughts moved, his consciousness gradually sank into the cold sea water. ?That cold feeling seemed to penetrate into his soul little by little. ?The strange thing is that in this cold depth, there seems to be a weak and unyielding vitality hidden. "This is?" ??? Before Xia En could take a closer look, the world in front of him suddenly became clear. A piece of deep blue water broke into his field of vision. ?Perhaps because it is inaccessible and far away from discharged pollution, the sea water here gives people a feeling of emptiness and clarity, like a piece of clean sapphire. Because of the protection of [Ship Soul Power], the biting cold in the sea was isolated from the body of the projection. Xia En only felt a little coolness, and his actions were not affected by the water temperature. After confirming this, Xia En looked up at the sea. ?Several ice floes are floating above, changing light and dark in the haze of light, making it look quite dreamy. ?There are also small pale icebergs, drifting and moving along with the sea water. To be honest, judging from this scene alone, the scene under the surface of [Cold Sea] is the most beautiful that Xia En has ever seen in his several dives. Just quickly. Xia En looked down and couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment. Because the depth of this sea far exceeded his expectation. Within the scope of sight, the bottom of the sea cannot be seen at all, only a dark and blurry outline. This means that the depth of the sea water here is deeper than the [Rusty Wasteland]! As expected of [Leng Liehai] ?Xia En sighed in his heart, but his eyes were slightly bright. However, this also means that the strength and experience of the monsters in this sea area will increase. I just dont know what the characteristics of the monsters here will be? ?While thinking about this problem, Xia En swam deeper into the ocean. The feeling is similar to the feeling in [Rusty Wasteland]. The further you sink, the greater the pressure brought by the sea water, and the faster the [Ship Soul Power] decays. ?However, Xia Ens strength is not what it used to be. With a [Sturdiness] attribute of 53, it can last at least two to three hours even on the bottom of this sea. As the depth increased, Xia En gradually saw the deeper parts of the sea clearly. The seabed here is covered with fine sand and gravel, and there are also some tree-like undersea plants growing. ??Ice sea creatures, large or small, are swimming in the sea water. They may have noticed Xia En''s arrival, but Xia En''s faintly powerful aura made them unwilling to provoke this strange visitor. Xia En''s eyes scanned the bottom of the sea. Not long after, he saw a small town in the southwest. ?The architectural style of this town is neither like the "Coral City" nor the "Rusted Wasteland". The main color of the houses is white, and most of them have their own small courtyards and gardens, just like individual manors. ?Each manor is separated by a considerable distancea phenomenon that only occurs in sparsely populated areas.?????In normal times, such a small town would definitely not be Xia En''s target. But today is an experimental [submersible voyage], mainly focused on exploration, and the amount of harvest is not that important. When Xia En approached the town, his eyes froze for a second. He saw that all the buildings and roads in this town were covered with a layer of light blue ice! ?Shane initially thought it was a naturally formed ice cube. But after careful observation, he quickly rejected this conjecture. because ?In that layer of solid ice, there are flowers, plants, birds and animals, and humans shaped like ice sculptures! Shane swam out into the town streets. ?In front of him, a young man wearing a thick cotton coat looked in one direction with a horrified expression, as if he had witnessed something extremely terrifying. The young mans fear and shock stayed at this moment forever. Compared to other people on the street, he may be lucky. Because at least he saw what he was dying for. More people were frozen into eternal ice sculptures without even realizing it. How long did this town freeze before the flood? ?Looking at this scene, Xia En''s thoughts were ups and downs. There is no doubt that this kind of ice that can freeze an entire town for thousands of years is by no means an ordinary thing, and it must contain extraordinary secret power. The question is, is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? What is the purpose behind it? And the scope it covers is really only such a small town? ?Xia En thought casually and stopped thinking about it. He is not an archaeologist after all, and he is not very interested in exploring the secrets behind this. "but" Xia En thought to himself: "If the existence of this town is frozen and it affects other areas, then if we go in this direction, we might make some new discoveries." ?Having said that, Xia En is not in a hurry to leave town. He reached out his hand and gently touched the ice sculpture in front of him. The feel when you hold it is no different from ordinary ice. Cold, hard. But the next moment, a sudden change occurred! ??The ice cubes with a hint of blue suddenly seemed to come alive, spreading along Xia En''s palm toward his body. A thin layer of ice crystals formed on the surface of the projected body. ?Xia En frowned slightly and clenched his fists suddenly. The arm muscles swelled, and a faint blood appeared on the surface of the body, easily shattering the ice crystals. With his current strength, he can naturally deal with this level of infection easily. What really makes Xia En fearful is the meaning behind this attack Even if hundreds of thousands of years have passed, this layer of ice still retains a strong secret power that exudes a strong desire to attack. ??If it were a natural disaster, it would still be understandable. But if this is the handwriting left by a mysterious person... Click...click! ?While Xia En was thinking, several very slight cracking sounds suddenly came from the sea water not far away. Xia En immediately turned his head and looked. I saw that in the ice-covered town, a huge and fat creature gradually came to life. ?It was a gray-black seal, but its size was far larger than the kind of creature that Sean knew. ?It is nearly ten meters long and more than five meters in diameter. It is like a thick and huge pillar, with a presence that cannot be ignored. ??And its body surface is covered with circles of criss-crossing, ice-blue lines. ??The texture is both complex and magnificent, like a carefully carved work of art, as if there are illusory ice crystals condensed in it. ?Shaan is no stranger to this pattern. ??He had seen similar patterns on An''s armor and [Magic Heavy Cannon]. ??But unlike the magic lines that Xia En knew, this kind of lines exuded a kind of enchantment that made it difficult for people to look away. If you stare at it for a little longer, you will still hear some vague murmurs in your ears. It''s like singing or praising something. Is this really a magic pattern? If so, can not only equipment but also living creatures be engraved with magic patterns? ?Xia En was extremely surprised. ?But soon, he discovered that those magic patterns were not engraved on the giant seal, but things growing out of its body! ?After waking up, the first thing a giant seal does is to open its mouth and chew on the ice and ice sculptures around it. As the ice crystals rich in secret power were swallowed into its belly. The magic patterns on its body surface became brighter visible to the naked eye, emanating cold magic power. ?That twisted and frantic texture has also become more and more obvious. This guy became like this after eating these ice cubes? ??Xia En felt more and more that the origin of this light blue ice was not simple. ?But at this moment, the seal, which had already eaten a belly full of ice cubes, moved suddenly and swam towards him. ?There was a flash of greed and cruelty in those small eyes. ?Even though this guy is bloated, his speed in the sea water is not slow at all and he is quite flexible. Just two breaths. ?That shadow with a strong sense of oppression shrouded Xia En''s figure. At the same time, the terrifying power of ice and coldness spread along the sea water. ?In just a short moment, the deep projection body was covered by ice, and together with the surrounding sea water, it was frozen into a whole ice sculpture! At this time. Even more vast and surging power erupted from Xia En''s body. ?Countless cracks appeared on the ice layer, and then, it shattered. A **** sword appeared in Xia En''s hand, and he said to himself: "Such a big seal should be enough to eat for many days, right?" To deal with you, the second stage alone is enough! Shane is not talking big words. The ability to directly freeze seawater is indeed a bit tricky, but in the face of absolute numerical crushing, it is still vulnerable. In just two or three minutes, the **** sword split the ice condensed in the sea water again and again. ?Finally, with a full blow, the sword pierced the seal''s thick fat layer, tearing open a huge wound. With the help of the Blood Demon Sword''s ability to draw blood, the seal soon lost too much blood and lost its voice. Kill the Demonic Seal Obtain trophy: fresh seal carcass The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse has been detected. Should it be absorbed? "special?" ?Xia En''s heart moved. The special [Secret Sea Crystal] meant that he could unlock new talents. And this seals special ability is ?Shaan no longer hesitated: "Absorb!" Ship Soul Experience +3%! Unlock talent: Chaos Demon Pattern! (End of this chapter) Chapter 157 Small but cute, a flame that never goes out Chapter 157 Small is also very cute, the flame that never goes out Chaos Demon Pattern Quality: inferior Type: Talent Description: According to legend, magic patterns were the first things discovered and used by elves. Because they firmly believe that language and writing inherently contain magical and mysterious powers. The magic pattern was supposed to only act on dead objects, but after being contaminated by a certain god, this magic pattern became chaotic and weird, but it could still be used as a container to store secret power. As the cool and refreshing power flowed into his body, Xia En looked down. ?On the surface of the projected body, there are a few faint black lines extending across the chest. ?But at this time, these magic patterns seemed to be empty and extremely dim, and soon disappeared from the body surface. Is this the magic pattern? An understanding arose in Xia En''s heart: "Its essence seems to be a container of secret power." The secret power can be stored in it and released when needed. He also thought of the [Magic Heavy Cannon] on the ship and analyzed it. And some magic patterns can continuously absorb secret power to achieve a balance of payments. Although a new talent has been unlocked, it is still of [low quality] after all. Whether it is useful or not will be known after the quality is improved. But, elf...an elf again? Xia En looked at the town below, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes. ?Most of the residents in this town are ordinary humans, but after some searching, he also found several ice sculptures with elven characteristics. ?These people may not be pure-blooded elves, they may be mixed-blooded. Even so, it is enough to show that there may be many elves living here before this land was flooded. ?So, does this disaster that directly freezes the entire town have something to do with the elves? ?Xia En was thinking as he continued to explore the cold sea water. About three hours later. Xia En exited the [submersible] state. To be honest, apart from seeing the unique ecological environment of the Cold Sea, he didnt gain much from this dive. Xia En is not discouraged, this is a random action. It is best to gain something, and it is not a loss if there is no gain. ??Moreover, isnt there a fat seal? ??Due to the size of the seal, Shane could only receive the trophy on the deck. With a "thud" sound, the seal''s body fell on the deck, which also attracted the attention of the crew. Mr. Captain, its so big! ?Joy looked at the plump seal and couldn''t help but marvel. Is this animal called a seal? I just flipped through a book that records creatures in the northern seas, and its name is on it. Yes, this is a seal. Xia En also felt a sense of accomplishment. Seals are creatures in the sea. In short, they are the fish you catch from the sea. What fisherman wouldnt want to show off after catching such a big fish? The skin, meat and oil are all good things, dont waste them. Tonight, have a seal dinner! Vivian''s figure suddenly appeared: "Captain, Captain, I want to eat too!" ifier Xia En was startled by the ghost that suddenly appeared in front of her, but she still said: "Don''t worry, you will be indispensable." But Vivian, can you change your habit of suddenly appearing in front of others? Its so scary. Vivian said with an innocent face: "But I am a ghost, so I should be invisible." In this way, you must say something in advance before each appearance to indicate your presence. Like an old mother, Xia En warned: "Also, don''t reveal yourself close to others. If you scare other crew members, I won''t take you with me for meals in the future." Ugh! Dont do that kind of thing! Vivian let out a small cry. Thats right. ?Xia En suddenly remembered something again, and his eyes became sharp. What are you doing on the boat these days when you are awake? As a ghost, Vivian''s degree of freedom is undoubtedly extremely high, and she also has an ability similar to "invisibility". Only Xia En can see her existence with the help of [Ghost Vision]. But having said that, even Xia En will not turn on [Ghost Vision] all the time. Yeah, its nothing. Vivians tone of voice rose and her eyes were a little erratic. Just strolling around on the boat. Xia En asked: "When I was taking a shower in the bathroom, you were peeking in, right?" After the hull of the Black Swan was upgraded, he naturally transformed several extra cabins into bathrooms, and asked Fei Ya to install boilers and pipes for bathing. No! But After denying it, Vivian looked carefully at the white-haired girl not far away. Xia Ens eyes suddenly opened wide. Co-author You peeked at her, right? I havent even seen it yet! ?Seeing this, Joey''s little face turned crimson visibly, and he stared at Vivian in shame and anger. Accident! That was an accident! Miss Ghost was also aggrieved: "I just wanted to see what was in that room, but I didn''t expect that I happened to run into this sister Joy." However, since we are all girls, it doesnt matter. At worst, Ill let you see it another day! Speaking, Vivian puffed up her chest. ??Although she also has a slender figure, a certain part under the witch''s robe is surprisingly material. This straight waist has a rather undulating texture. Woo! ?This time, it was Joey''s turn to scream. She received a critical hit and had reason to suspect that the ghost did it on purpose! Vivian also carefully added: "Miss Joy, actually I think... the little one is very cute." Abominable ?Joy whimpered feebly, almost unable to scream in grief. To be honest, Xia En enjoyed watching the interaction between the two of them, but as the captain, he could not let Vivian continue to wander around the ship in an "invisible person" state. After all, each crew member has his or her own privacy. Hence, Xia En said in a harsher tone. Vivian, you are not allowed to enter other peoples rooms without permission in the future, nor are you allowed to eavesdrop on other peoples conversations. "yes" Vivian lowered her head apologetically: "I''m sorry, Captain, there won''t be a next time." "That''s good." Seeing that she had a good attitude towards admitting her mistake, Xia En did not pursue the matter further. ?Oddly enough, he and this ghost lady have not known each other for a long time, and they have only spoken a few words in total. But we got along very well, as if we had known each other for many years. ?Not long after, An, Fei Ya and Xian Ge came to the deck and were surprised by the appearance of this fat seal. If Xia En didnt have a big enough fishhook, he would have dared to say that he caught it himself! ??While the crew was sharpening their knives, they were working together to deal with the seal. Xia En suddenly saw a sheet of snow-white ice appearing on the sea far to the north. ?The ice layer is not like ordinary scattered ice floes, but a whole piece, like an island, with tall or short icebergs standing on it. Could it be...that its an island? ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. He is worried about being unable to confirm his location! As long as there are residents on that island or other notable features, the next route will undoubtedly be determined. Xiao Hei, bring the boat closer to me! Yes, Master! ?Under Xia En''s order, the [Black Swan] silently increased its speed and approached the ice in the north. A moment later, an island made of ice and snow came into view of Xia En and the crew. ?However, their eyes were soon attracted by an iceberg on the ice and snow island. ?This is not because that iceberg is so strange, but because... ??On the top of the iceberg, a blazing figure stood impressively! Thats right, its burning! With Xia Ens keen eyesight, he could see the strange sight on the iceberg more clearly. I saw that on the snow-capped mountain top, the tall man was covered in orange-red flames. ?The flame was so magnificent and raging that neither the cold air nor the ice underfoot could stop it from burning! ?The other person is like a torch that will never go out. In this dead iceberg, alone, it exudes its own light and heat. In a daze, Xia En actually remembered the scene he saw when he passed through the [Ember Gate]. ??This man actually looks a bit like King Xin on the throne? ! Who is he? ?While everyone in Xia En was secretly frightened, the Fiery Man on the iceberg also noticed this strange ship and couldn''t help showing a surprised expression. After all, the island has not had contact with outsiders for decades. But after a brief surprise, the man still waved enthusiastically to Xia En and others, as if to invite them to come closer. He is waving to us? ?Seeing this scene, Joey asked in surprise: "Is this welcoming us?" ?Xia En looked at the iceberg with a strange expression. When a normal person sees a strange ship approaching, shouldnt his first reaction be to be careful and vigilant? ?Hiding and waiting to see what happens is also a normal reaction. What does it mean when you wave actively? ??Due to the image of the man enveloped in flames and the extraordinary aura he exuded, Xia En naturally regarded him as a mysterious and powerful man. But his performance was indeed beyond Xia En''s expectations. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said to the crew: "I''ll go see him. You guys wait on the boat first." Can''t blame Xia En for being so cautious. ?This island is a completely unfamiliar area to them, and it is unknown whether the fire man is an enemy or a friend. To avoid this being a trap, it would be safer for him to explore the road first. With this idea in mind, Xia En set foot on the ice and snow island alone and walked towards the iceberg. At this time, the man with burning flames jumped off the iceberg and came to Xia En. After getting closer, Xia En discovered that his image was slightly different from what he imagined. The man was extremely tall, about two and a half meters tall, taller than An in armor, which gave people a sense of oppression. But what really surprised Shane was... The flames on a man''s body are not simply attached to his body, but are closely connected to his skin and flesh. in other words. ??The fuel of this flame is none other than the human body! ?Fresh granulations are constantly growing on the skin and flesh, and are ignited and carbonized at high temperatures at the same time, forming a layer of coke. ?This is how this eternal flame was born. ?The only places that were not burned by the flames were the mans head and the soles of his feet. ?After realizing this, Xia En''s eyes changed slightly, and he couldn''t help blurting out a sentence. doesnt it hurt? He regretted it as soon as he said it. I actually asked this kind of question out of nowhere to a stranger I met for the first time. This is not something he would do if he was always rational. Hearing this, the man was also stunned. ?He scratched the back of his head and said with a shy smile: "It hurt a lot at first, but now, I''m used to it." Oh, by the way, my name is Yan Yan, what do you call me? ?Although he is wrapped in flames, Yan Yan looks very handsome, with black hair and eyes, like a sunny and cheerful boy. And his enthusiastic attitude is one of the best among the people Xia En has met. My name is Shane, and I am the captain of the [Black Swan]. As soon as Xia En finished introducing himself, Yan Yan said excitedly: "So you are the captain of that ship, how awesome!" No other ship has docked in this [Han Iceland] for many years. Also, your ship is very beautiful, and it is very strong at first glance. Just...a little bit small. But it doesnt matter, the little ones are cute too Yan Yan couldn''t seem to stop once he started speaking, and his words came out like a barrage of cannonballs. ??It may also be because he hasn''t spoken to other people for a long time, so he seems a bit talkative. After hearing these words, most of Xia En''s worries dissipated. ?His intuition told him that Yan Yan had no ill intentions at all. He waved to him purely out of curiosity and excitement. ?Thinking of this, Xia En waved in the direction of the [Black Swan], indicating that they could go ashore. At the same time, Xia En asked: "Is there anyone else besides you on [Ice and Snow Island]?" "Yes, I have." Yan Yan said frankly: "There is a small village in the southwest, but..." Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xia En was a little curious: "Just?" Yan Yan sighed: "The people in the village are not very good-tempered, and their relationship with me is very bad." If it is not necessary, I suggest Suddenly, Yan Yans words stopped abruptly. He looked at the darkening sky above his head and said with certainty: "A snowstorm is coming soon!" You guys come and hide with me! Snowstorm? Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed: "Is this true?" Yan Yan was in a strange mood: "Of course, what did I lie to you for?" "Very good!" Xia En''s heart was pounding and he said to Yan Yan: "You take my crew to avoid the wind and snow, I have more important things to do." After saying that, he ran wildly in the direction of the Black Swan, leaving Yan Yan messy in the gradually raging cold wind. Huh? What do you mean? (End of this chapter) Chapter 158 Plundering the extreme cold storm, [Certificate of the Salary King] is restless again Chapter 158: Plundering the extreme cold storm, [Certificate of King Xin] is restless again It didnt take long. ?Except for Vivian, who cannot move, and the bronze dragon string song with a special race, the rest of the crew set foot on the ice field of [Ice and Snow Island] and came to Yan Yan. And seeing this girl with white hair and red eyes, a knight in armor, and a beautiful girl with short hair dressed in men''s clothing... Yan Yan was greatly shocked. ?This is different from the tough, rude and savage sailors in his impression! Moreover, how come there are only three people on such a big ship? Is this reasonable? But rather than the doubts in his heart, Yan Yan was more concerned about Xia En, who was walking towards the [Black Swan]. That...isnt he your captain? Yan Yan carefully said to Joey, who seemed to be the most talkative among the three. The blizzard is coming soon. Dont you advise him to come to the island to take shelter? The blizzard in this sea area is very scary and can really freeze people to death! Oh, you mean Mr. Captain? ??Joy waved his hand: "Don''t worry, don''t worry about him." If the snowstorm is really dangerous, lets find a place to hide quickly. Fei Ya on the side also added: "Yes, sir, I leave it to you." Hearing this, Yan Yan felt even more strange. How can there be such a crew member who doesnt care whether the captain lives or lives? Or is it that their relationship with Captain Shane is not good? ?Confused by doubts, Yan Yan glanced at the increasingly gloomy and gloomy sky, and immediately led the three of them towards his residence. It is said to be a "dwelling", but it is actually an igloo hewn from solid ice. It is closed on three sides, with only a small door opening in the north. ?There was no furniture inside, not even a bed, and it looked extremely shabby. ?Think about it, with Yan Yan in such a burning state, he can''t hold any furniture! ??After Joey and the other three followed Yan Yan into the igloo, they immediately felt that the surroundings became warmer. In addition to the warmth effect of the igloo, Yan Yan, as a human-shaped torch, also played a great role. At this time. ?A gust of cold wind seeped in from outside the doorway. The whine of the cold wind gradually turned into a scream like a ghost''s cry, spreading the biting chill to the entire island. Obviously, Yan Yan did not lie. ?The blizzard in this sea area is very scary. If Joey and the others are in it, they may be frozen into ice sculptures. No, I have to go take a look! After thinking about it, Yan Yan was still a little worried and said, "You guys hide here, I''ll come back as soon as I can!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed into the wind and snow outside the house in a hurry. "Hello" Fei Ya called him, but refused to stop, and couldn''t help showing a strange expression. Is this guy too enthusiastic? In the final analysis, they were just passers-by who met by chance, yet this man wrapped in flames was so enthusiastic in lending a helping hand. ?Leave it alone on such an inaccessible ice and snow island, few people would do this even on islands with better security. ??But no matter it is Fei Ya, Joey or An, they can feel it Yanyan has no other purpose. Just want to help them. ??Joy sighed softly: "This big brother is really a good person." In the Seven Seas, which has always believed in the law of the jungle and the strong, such kind and honest people are rare. at the same time. Under the dark and gloomy sky, numerous snowflakes were falling from high places. ?As the cold wind became more and more rapid, the falling posture of the snowflakes became less gentle, and instead hit the ground like hailstones without hesitation. Making the ice and snow on the ice sheet continue to accumulate thicker. However, neither the cold wind nor the ice and snow can hinder Yan Yan''s pace. Yan Yan ran on the ice sheet with one foot deep and one foot shallow. ?Any wind and snow that comes close to him cannot break through the barrier of flames and quickly melts and disintegrates. ?However, Yan Yan still had a trace of worry on his face. He raised his head and looked at the coast of Ice and Snow Island. Due to the sweeping snowstorm, the visibility in the air became very poor, and a thin, cold sea fog formed on the sea. As a result, Yan Yan could only barely see the ship named [Black Swan] on the coast, which seemed... He is heading away from the island! ?! ??The surprise in Yan Yan''s heart became more intense. In other words, were there actually other crew members on that ship? Otherwise, how did it start? ?Also, does the captain not care about the other crew members in the igloo? etc Yan Yan soon realized that the most important thing was why someone would go to sea in a snowstorm! Either Im crazy, or the captain is crazy! ?Although Yan Yan was shocked, he still did not stop. Not long after, he arrived at the edge of the coast of [Ice and Snow Island]. By this time, the snowstorm had become very violent. ??The cold wind howled across the ice fields and the sea, and increasingly dense snowflakes swayed down like covering the sky and the sun. The already gloomy sky became even more bleak, and the shadow of the sun could no longer be seen. Fortunately, Yan Yan itself is an extremely bright light source. With the help of firelight, Yan Yan was able to see the scene on the sea. ?In the cold current of the blizzard, ice floes of large and small sizes appeared out of thin air on the sea surface, quickly forming a group of ice floes covering several sea miles. ?The cold and chaotic wind caused the originally calm sea surface to ripple, with stronger waves rising one after another, and causing the ice floes to rotate like a whirlpool. Ordinary ships in such a storm may be destroyed in an instant. However, Yan Yan couldn''t help but widen his eyes when he saw the scene in the center of the floating ice clearly. I saw that the [Black Swan] made a long and loud whistle, and rushed towards the center of the storm without flinching or hesitation. ?Like a high-spirited and unyielding fighter, brazenly challenging the storm! Ice floes, wind and snow, waves... were all crushed and dispersed by the purest force in front of this fearless charging ship, like an ant with a mantis'' arm as a cart. ?And on the towering deck, stood a rock-like figure. ?Compared to the entire storm and the sea area it covered, that figure seemed so small. But at this time, his momentum was not inferior at all, as if he was fighting against the entire storm with the power of one person! ?The man held the steering wheel with one hand and stretched out his other hand towards the extremely cold storm sweeping in front of him. "Is he here?" As soon as Yan Yan had such doubts in his heart, he suddenly felt - The direction of the storm has changed! ?This storm formed on the sea surface, mixed with icy secret power, seems to be condensing and approaching the location of the [Black Swan]. at the same time. It seemed as if there were countless strands of invisible power flowing into the captain''s body from the extreme cold storm. ??The howling cold wind and the falling snow could not resist the attraction coming from his body and allowed it to grab hold of him. Compared with gentle "borrowing", it is more like a wild and wild "plundering!" At this moment, the captain seemed to be the master of the storm! Plunder wantonly and absorb the power from the storm! Yan Yan looked at this scene in shock, with huge waves rolling in his heart. The power of plundering the storm... This kind of thing is simply beyond his imagination. At this moment, Yan Yan suddenly realized that the reason why the crew members were not worried about Xia En was not because of a bad relationship. Its because they have unparalleled trust in Xia En! Xia En neither knew nor cared about Yan Yan''s thoughts on the coast. At this time, he was completely immersed in the feeling of [Looting Storm]. Except for the immature plunder in the promotion ritual, this is the first time that Xia En has used this career-specific talent. He could feel the power from the storm pouring into his body. This power is surprisingly similar to the secret power from the [Secret Sea]. ?Like waves washing over Xia En''s body. The slight difference is that the power of the storm seems to be more rough, and the cold wind blows on him, and there will be some knife-like pain. But looking at what pops up on the panel from time to time Strength +1! Mysterious +1! Physique +1! With reminders like these, Xia En felt that the pain was worth it. It can be said that it is painful and happy. ?But it is obvious that [Plundering Storm] improves the attributes of Shane''s body, not the attributes of [Black Swan]. This is the only little regret. At this moment, something strange happened. Several mysterious lines seemed to have appeared on the surface of the hull of the [Black Swan]. ?These lines are slowly absorbing the secret power in the surrounding storm, and gradually light up with an icy blue halo. This is... [Chaos Demon Pattern]? ?Xia En was a little surprised. Ship Soul SynchronizationThis talent cannot synchronize all of Xia Ens abilities to the ship. Therefore, there is no way to directly let [Black Swan] come to [Plunder Storm]. But he did not expect that the new talent [Chaos Demon Pattern] would come into play at this time. ?A part of the icy secret power is stored in the hull of the [Black Swan]. Perhaps this power can be used in some way in the future. ?This storm went away just as quickly as it came. About half an hour later, the blizzard gradually subsided and the sky cleared up quickly. On the deck, Xia En opened his eyes, an icy blue halo flashed across his eyes. This is gone? Isnt it too short-lasting? ?He sighed with unfinished meaning, and his expression looked quite regretful. ?This feeling is like a novel or movie that starts and ends suddenly. ?However, in just half an hour, Xia Ens attribute panel also changed Comprehensive quality: 1.41.5! Current "Storm Power": no attributes (0), extreme cold (1)! Career fit: 25%! This 0.1 increase may not seem big, but you must know that not long ago, Xia En''s total comprehensive quality was only 0.5! ??Moreover, this was only a transformation that took place in half an hour. ??If you encounter a larger storm that lasts longer, wouldn''t the improvement of this attribute be like riding a rocket? Xia En felt his body becoming lighter and more powerful, including the secret power and blood rushing in his body, and he couldn''t help but look forward to it in his eyes. Work hard, settle down! Sooner or later, he will be able to face the powerful men of the [Truth Society] one day without being forced to flee! ?The appearance of the unknown [Thousand Changers] indeed put great pressure on Xia En. What he has to do is to turn this pressure into motivation! Xia En touched the steering wheel in front of him and said comfortingly: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Hei." ?The extreme cold storm just now still caused some damage to the [Black Swan]. A layer of ice crystals condensed on the surface, and part of the hull was slightly damaged. ?However, with the self-healing ability of [High-speed Regeneration], this minor injury is not a big problem. It didnt take long. Xia En drove the Black Swan back to the shore, and saw Yan Yan waiting at the edge of the ice field. Mr. Yan Yan, why are you here? ?Xia En asked in surprise. Just now I was worried that you couldnt withstand the snowstorm, so I wanted to find you... Yan Yan honestly explained his purpose, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xia En with complex expressions. By the way, Captain Shane, I saw it! I saw everything you did in the storm just now! "Um?" ?Xia Ens expression was a little strange. Even if most people see that kind of scene, they usually wont say anything about it, right? ??Yan Yan took the initiative to stir up this topic. Did he want to threaten himself? Its the kind of development that says, Captain, you dont want your special ability to be exposed, right? ?Of course, this is just Xia Ens random association. Even if Yan Yan wanted to be exposed on this ice and snow island, Yan Yan couldn''t find a target. ?Yan Yans next words caused Xia En to fall into a brief silence. ...So strong! So powerful! Yan Yan looked at him excitedly, her tone full of admiration. I have never seen such a spectacular sight, even more powerful than the village chief! Not only Captain Shane, but that ship is so powerful that it was able to survive the storm unscathed. How on earth is this done? Im curious Hearing this barrage of compliments, Xia En was speechless for a moment. ?He never expected that Yan Yan only mentioned this topic to praise himself. Isnt this guy too simple? Xia En didnt even know how to evaluate Yan Yans character. All in all, there is a sense of unpolluted innocence and beauty that makes Xia En feel a little guilty about "judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain". ?Getting used to the cunning and cunning dealings on the sea, this was the first time Xia En met such a simple and straightforward person as Yan Yan. ??Moreover, if he was praised like this by a beautiful girl, Xia En might be a little happy. Now its a man who is taller than me... ?This feeling is really complicated. By the way, you said there is a village on this [Ice and Snow Island], right? To prevent Yan Yan from asking further questions, Xia En decisively interrupted: "Can you take me to the village to have a look?" "Can." After a brief hesitation, Yan Yan seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Please come with me." Subsequently, under the leadership of Yan Yan, Xia En and others advanced along the ice sheet towards the center of the island. An hour later, a town carved out of ice and snow came into view. At the same time, Xia En looked down. The [Salary King''s Certificate] on the back of his right hand once again exudes a faint warmth. (End of this chapter) Chapter 159 [Ice and Snow Island] The mystery of spontaneous combustion, [Emerald Ancient City] Chapter 159 [Ice and Snow Island] The mystery of spontaneous combustion, [Emerald Ancient City] "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise in his eyes. O by ֤֮actually becomes agitated again in a place like this? Could it be said that there is also an [Ember Treasure] hidden on this [Ice and Snow Island]? However, after carefully sensing the status of the [Salary King''s Certificate] on the back of his hand, Xia En felt that something was wrong. Although [Salm King''s Certificate] is releasing a touch of heat, it does not guide the direction like it did on the Island of Giants. ?Moreover, this heat comes and goes, and is far less intense than before. Its like Awakened, but not fully awake? Whats going on? ?Xia En had some doubts in his heart, and at the same time he also had a conjecture. Could it be that the [Certificate of King Xin] reacted not to [Ember Treasure], but other entities related to King Xin? While he was thinking secretly. Yan Yan on the side said: "Captain Xia En, the village on [Ice and Snow Island] is ahead." I dont have a good relationship with the villagers, so I wont go in with you. One more thing Yan Yan glanced at Fei Ya and Joey who were not far away, and reminded: "You''d better not let them follow them into the village, otherwise, something bad may happen." The subtext in his words is actually very obvious. ?A young and beautiful girl like Joey will naturally attract malicious peeps. ?Especially in this kind of village that is closed all year round and rarely communicates with the outside world, their degree of xenophobia is actually very high. The attitude towards outsiders may not be too friendly. ?Beauty itself is blameless, but if there is no matching strength, disaster will come unexpectedly. ??Although Xia En is confident in his own strength, he does not want to cause unnecessary trouble. ?Thinking of this, he planned to enter the village with An alone. However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Suddenly. ??A rude scolding came from the ice field not far away. Yan Yan! How dare you come to the village? Get away from me! Several men wearing thick fur coats were walking from the other direction of the ice field. Obviously, because Yan Yan''s presence was too strong, like a torch that could not be ignored, he was recognized by them at a glance. Soon, this group of people also noticed the unfamiliar faces of Xia En. They quickly showed vigilance, picked up their weapons, and stared at Xia En and others with caution. Who are you? Why are you staying with this monster near our village? monster? Hearing this title and the villagers'' bad attitude towards Yan Yan, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little confused. ?Although from the outside, the image of Yan Yan burning with flames is a bit scary. But as long as you have a little contact with him, you should be able to understand that this guy is essentially just a simple-minded and enthusiastic boy. From this point of view, the attitude of the villagers is undoubtedly a bit strange. Yan Yan seems to have been used to this kind of thing for a long time, and said quickly: "Brother Gray, they are the captain and crew from the sea, and they want to ask us about the location of [Ice and Snow Island]." Go, go, go, who is your elder brother? The brown-haired man headed by him glared at Yan Yan angrily, and then looked at Xia En and the others in confusion. Ice and Snow Islandis remote and has few valuable minerals and resources. No foreign ships have visited it for decades. You guys wait a moment, Ill go find the village chief and ask. After leaving these words, Gray quickly walked towards the village, leaving several villagers behind to confront Xia En and others. ??Taking this time, Yan Yan whispered to Xia En. Captain Shane, when we enter the village later, youd better follow Brother Gray. He looks a little fierce, but he is actually a good person! ?Xia En raised his eyebrows in surprise: "But his attitude towards you..." Yan Yans head drooped slightly, and the flames on his body dimmed a little, making people think of a big dog that had been soaked by water. Brother Gray did this to protect me. Xia En was a little confused after what he heard, but seeing that Yan Yan seemed unwilling to say more, he did not pursue the matter further. Not long. ??Gray came back to Xia En and others and spoke. The village chief said that you can enter the village, but you must go and see him first. Xia En nodded and said, "Of course." ?He turned his head and was about to say a few more words to Yan Yan, when he saw that the blazing fire man was already getting farther and farther away on the ice field. ?The villagers watched Yan Yan go away, with a bit of fear and disgust in their eyes. All this was seen by Xia En. It also made him more curious about the relationship between Yan Yan and the people in this village. Soon, Sean led three crew members, followed Gray and other villagers, and walked into this unique village. ??The village sits on a dark gray rock formation. ?At first glance, the house looks like it is made of ice and snow, but in fact the main materials are stones and turf made of a special kind of moss. The outermost layer of ice and snow is just the trace left by the recent snowstorm. The whole village looks primitive and quiet, like a paradise. ??Moreover, surprisingly, after walking into the village, the surrounding temperature became significantly warmer. So much so that the snow on the surface of the house has a tendency to melt. Xia En looked at the ground under his feet and thought to himself: "The heat source seems to come from under the ground?" Not long after everyone entered the village, villagers came out of the surrounding houses one after another, quietly looking at Xia En and others with different eyes. ?These eyes are mostly curious, but also alert and wary. After seeing the extremely good-looking looks of Xia En, Fei Ya, and Joey, the eyes of some villagers suddenly changed subtly. During this process, Xia En was also silently observing these villagers. There are old and young villagers, men and women, but it is obvious that the number of old people and women is relatively small. Their skin color is generally a little red, and their clothes are mostly made of animal fur, giving them a tough and savage temperament. From the villagers, Xia En couldn''t feel the aura of the Mystic Pathfinders, but he could detect that there was another strange power in their bodies. ?The auras of several of them made even Xia En feel a certain threat. Obviously, humans who can survive in this ice and snow must have their own extraordinary powers. However, at this moment. ??A male villager on the road not far away suddenly let out a painful cry. So hot so hot The man''s complexion becomes redder and redder, his body temperature becomes higher and higher, and sweat continues to ooze out. So much so that he desperately tore off his clothes in an attempt to lower his body temperature. No! Dont Beside the man, the woman who seemed to be his wife seemed to realize something, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly ran towards him. ?Gray strode out and stopped the woman before she touched the man''s body. Let me go! Let me pass! The woman beat Gray''s body hard, her eyes gradually turning red, like a crazy female beast. ?Kegre''s body was as unshakable as a mountain, only a flash of pity and sympathy flashed in his eyes. "This is?" As an outsider, Xia En saw this scene and didn''t know what happened, so he didn''t act rashly. The next moment! ?The shirtless man suddenly burst into flames! ?The flames flowed instantly like burning grease, igniting his skin, flesh, and even bones. ?This flame came so quickly and so fiercely. In just a few breaths, it spread to the whole body of the man. Why me? NoI dont want to die ??The crackling sound of burning and the shrill wailing sounded together, and the burning smell that made people instinctively uncomfortable spread. Such a scene made Joey and Fei Ya turn pale. Xia En''s mood also became less calm. But at the same time, he noticed that there was sadness, fear, and resentment in the eyes of nearby villagers... Only no surprise! This weird spontaneous human combustion phenomenon seems to have happened more than once on this island? Just as Xia En guessed. ?After the man was burned into a ball of black ashes, the villagers silently and expertly picked up his remains and cleaned up the traces left by the flames. Even the crazy woman calmed down and followed the crowd away with empty eyes. After this extraordinary episode, Gray''s face looked as normal, and he had no intention of explaining to Shane and others, and just continued to lead them towards the center of the village. Were here, please come in. A few minutes later, the group arrived at the largest house in the village. ??However, after entering the hall, Xia En did not see the village chief. Gray explained: "The village chief is holding a fire ceremony and can''t get away for a while. Please wait a moment." Fire sacrifice ceremony? Xia En''s heart moved slightly. ?This ceremony sounds like some kind of religious activity? In such a primitive and closed village, it is normal for some niche beliefs to be born. The question is, will this religion have a special connection with King Xin? ??And that weird spontaneous combustion... ??Due to Yan Yan''s evaluation, Xia En trusted Gray more than other villagers, so he stopped the man who was about to leave and asked. Mr. Gray, I have a few questions to ask you alone, is that okay? ?Gray glanced at Xia En unexpectedly, hesitated for a moment, and nodded. Okay, you come with me. Pushing open a stone door, Gray and Shane came to a single room next to the hall. Judging from his actions, Gray seemed to know the internal structure of the house very well. Immediately afterwards, Gray took out a tobacco-like thing from his pocket, lit it with a snap of his fingers, then held it in his mouth and said with a somewhat melancholy expression. Tell me, what do you want to ask? Since you are regarded as a friend by Yan Yan, I will try my best to answer your questions. Seeing how straightforward he was, Xia En asked directly. Why is your attitude towards Yan Yan so strange? Gray was not surprised by this question and said: "Because in the village, Yan Yan has always been regarded as the source of ominous curses." The villagers were afraid of him and afraid of him, so they refused to let him step into the village. Curse? Hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of the man who suddenly burst into flames: "That flame... is a curse?" Thats right. ?Gray nodded: "Although there is no basis or proof." But anyone who sees the kind of fire that ignites the human body will probably associate Yan Yan with it. Such a spontaneous combustion event occurs almost every few months. No one knows when it will come, and no one knows who it will choose as its target. At this point, Gray twitched his lips bitterly: "Moreover, we have tried all methods, but we can''t stop the flames from burning." If anyone else comes into contact with the spontaneously combusting victims, they will also be burned to ashes. His words revealed deep despair and helplessness. ?After hearing these words, Xia En quickly understood the origin of the villagers'' hatred towards Yan Yan and thought to himself. Maybe the villagers also know that this has nothing to do with Yan Yan. "They probably just can''t accept...why Yan Yan won''t die even if he is burned in the flames, but once they are targeted by the flame curse, they will definitely die." Or maybe they just need a target to vent their hatred? But is this really fair to Yan Yan? At this time, Gray continued: "To be honest, I also suspected that this spontaneous combustion curse was related to Yan Yan, and even... I still think so now!" Xia En frowned: "...What do you mean?" You have just arrived on this island, and you may think that Yan Yan is as young as he looks. But in fact, he is much older than you think. "Let''s put it this way, when my great-grandfather was a child, Yan Yan already looked like this!" He has lived on this island for at least hundreds of years! What Gray said next made Xia En feel a little horrified. Decades ago, in order to remove this curse, we tried to kill Yan Yan. But, it cant be done! It really cant be done! Even if Yan Yan stands motionless and lets us take action, even if we cut off his head and pierce his heart, he will not really die, but will only be reborn in the blazing fire! There was a faint fear on Gray''s face, as if he had recalled some terrible scenes, and he trembled: "That guy is truly immortal!" Immortalimmortal body ?Xia En silently chewed on the secrets of the past in his heart, his thoughts fluctuating. ?He had previously guessed that Yan Yan''s abilities were extraordinary, but this characteristic still exceeded his expectations. But what surprised Shane even more was ?In such a long life of burning, regenerating, being hated and resented, Yan Yan can still maintain such an optimistic and sunny character. Xia En only regarded him as a simple-minded young man before. Now it seems that he is looked down upon. ?Shaan still had some questions to ask Gray, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Gray calmed down and said, "The village chief is here, let''s go out." Xia En had to give up temporarily. ?Walking into the hall, Xia En met the village chief of this unknown village. This is a thin old man with pale, short, knife-like hair. ?His back is stooped, but he has a strong aura that is different from other villagers, not even inferior to Xia En. ? And those brown-red eyes, as sharp as hawks, seemed to carry an aggressive hostility, which made people instinctively unhappy. After a simple and polite self-introduction. ??Village Chief Ruel asked. "So, you want to ask for the nautical chart of our village to confirm the next route?" Xia En nodded and said, "That''s right." As a reward, I am willing to give you thirty kilograms of seal meat and grease. ?This quote is quite low. ??But nautical charts are valuable or not. The key lies in who uses them. For the residents of [Ice and Snow Island], they would never go out to sea to sail too far, so the nautical charts are of little value. But for Xia En, this can confirm the goals for the next period of time, which is still very useful. Furthermore, Xia En did not take the chart away, but only copied it. ?This quotation is naturally reasonable. ??Moreover, if you cant reach an agreement, you can still bargain! ??Xia En can''t always quote his bottom line price right away. ??However, Xia En did not expect that Ruhr responded directly: "No problem, deal!" "Um?" Xia En was a little surprised. He originally thought that the village chief was not easy to talk to, but now it seems that he may have made a mistake. Ruhl continued: "Speaking of which, Captain Shane, have you heard of... [Emerald Ancient City]?" [Emerald Ancient City]? Xia En looked puzzled, he really had no impression of this. ?Joy on the side was surprised and asked: "Is it the legendary city that was submerged by volcanic ash?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 160 Ship spirit level LV5! (Please read! Please subscribe!) Chapter 160 Ship Soul Level LV5! (Please read! Please subscribe!) ?Seeing Xia En''s questioning look, Joey took the initiative to explain. This is also the legend I read in that ancient book. It is said that before the great flood came, there was a mysterious and ancient city named [Emerald Ancient City]. It is the birthplace of todays magic pattern technology. After Sean emptied Duke Nova''s treasury, he obtained many ancient books that were not available on the market. On the one hand, it is the needs of [scholars] on the secret path, and on the other hand, it is personal interest. Joey likes to read these ancient books when he has nothing to do. When talking about these rumors at this time, she was naturally able to talk about them. However, after a terrible and unexpected volcanic eruption, the ancient city was flooded with volcanic ash, and no one in the city was spared. But it is precisely because of the presence of volcanic ash that the interior of the [Emerald Ancient City] is extremely well preserved. The buildings, books, and precious relics with magic patterns all maintain their former appearance. For a long time, this city has been a treasure trove for archaeologists and explorers. Its just that suddenly from a certain day, the number of people exploring the ancient city decreased greatly. Until now, very few people still know about such a ruins. Thats right. ?Village Chief Ruel chuckled: "The little girl is quite knowledgeable." What I want to say is that this [Emerald Ancient City] is located in a piece of ice not far from [Ice and Snow Island]. Huh? Is there such a thing? Xia En''s heart moved. Since [Coral City] has been cleared and the subsequent profits are not high, he now urgently needs to find another place where he can [submerge] for a long time. ?This mysterious [Emerald Ancient City] may be a good target. But the question is, why did the village chief suddenly mention this ruins? As if seeing Xia Ens doubts, Ruel opened his mouth to explain. Just three days ago, several young people on our island rashly went to sea and went to the [Emerald Ancient City], and they have not returned yet. "If possible, I hope Captain Shane can go to the [Emerald Ancient City] to at least...confirm whether they are alive or dead." In exchange, you can make a rubbing of a nearby sea chart. Hearing this, Gray''s expression changed slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But under the eyes of the village chief, he still hesitated to speak. ?Xia Ens expression was also a little strange. ?Judging from Ruhls words, there seems to be no problem. It is just an ordinary process of releasing side tasks. But he always felt that Ruhl''s attitude was quite strange. It was as if...the village chief was deliberately tempting them to explore the [Emerald Ancient City]? Could it be that this is actually a trap? After hesitating for a moment, Xia En still responded: "Deal!" Even without a sea map, after learning about the existence of the [Emerald Ancient City], he still needed to explore the ruins. As for the risks Is there anything in the world that is without risk? Even if [Emerald Ancient City] was really a trap set by the village chief of Ruhr, Xia En believed that he would never have guessed the existence of such a heaven-defying talent as [Deep Sea Diving]! Soon, after getting a rough chart indicating the location of the [Emerald Ancient City], Xia En left the house. As for more accurate and wider-range charts, you need to complete this "side mission" to obtain them. The door of the house. ??Watching the backs of Xia En and his group disappear from sight, Gray couldn''t help but ask. Old man, has anyone in our village been to [Emerald Ancient City] recently? "Besides, you don''t know how dangerous that place is...especially the ember monster..." ??Gray recalled the appearance of that monster, and couldn''t help but a flash of fear in his eyes. ?His attitude when talking to Ruel was different from other villagers. The reason is simple. Gray is Ruel''s son, and this room is actually their home. Of course I know how dangerous [Emerald Ancient City] is. Ruhl said calmly: "Otherwise, I wouldn''t let them go there." Gray''s face changed slightly: "Old man, do you want to..." Thats right, Im going to eat them with the people and the boat! Lur''s cloudy eyes were burning with dangerous and greedy desires, and he murmured. We have been on this **** ice and snow island for too long. Isnt a ship capable of long voyages exactly what we need? The women on the ship are also good trophies. ??Gray''s expression changed several times, and he was not very optimistic about his father''s ideas, so he tried to persuade him. What if...the monsters in [Emerald Ancient City] fail to kill him? Roul smiled and shook his head: "No matter what, a trip to the [Emerald Ancient City] will weaken their strength." At that time, if we make a sudden attack, no matter how powerful he is, he is destined to suffer a big loss! And if they are really strong enough to leave [Emerald Ancient City] unscathed, at worst they can just pretend that nothing happened. ??This old man is by no means a rude and brainless man. He is as vicious as a vulture and as cunning as a fox. In the end, it was Gray who was convinced by him. ??Although Gray sympathizes with Shane and others, after all, he is Ruel''s son and a villager of this village. He should stand on his father''s side both emotionally and rationally. at the same time. ?Shaan has already brought Joey and others back to the coast. ?It''s just that this time, he didn''t see the torch-like flames, maybe he was hiding quietly in a corner and shut himself up. Xia En had no choice but to return to the [Black Swan] and follow the rough chart to the direction of the [Emerald Ancient City]. ?The distance between this ruins and [Snow Island] is indeed not far, coupled with the high speed of [Black Swan]. Just one day. A thick layer of ice appeared in the eyes of Xia En and others. [Emerald Ancient City], is it under this ice? ??Joy looked at the ice surface curiously: "This ice layer doesn''t seem to be anything special?" Furthermore, there seems to be no sign of other ships docking nearby. ?Shaan touched his chin and thought, "Is it really just an excuse?" ??Joy was a little dazed when he heard it: "What''s true? What''s the excuse?" Fei Ya, who had gone to the island together before, had already noticed it and said, "That village chief''s excuse was too bad." In other words, this is actually a naked conspiracy. After all, after hearing the news that the [Emerald Ancient City] is nearby, any ambitious captain will probably want to take a look. Hearing this, Joey suddenly woke up and his beautiful eyes widened slightly. The village chief wants to harm us!? As soon as he finished speaking, Joey blushed a little. She quickly discovered that she was the last to realize this. In fact, before becoming a crew member of the Black Swan, Joey was very vigilant. But after following Xia En, he may have been too well protected, so his vigilance naturally relaxed a little. ?Joy calmed down and asked, "Captain, what should we do now?" ?Other crew members also looked at Xia En, waiting for his orders. Xia En chuckled and said, "You''ve come here, so of course you can''t leave empty-handed." "But before that, I have to make some preparations." "You guys are on alert on the deck. If anything unusual happens, notify me as soon as possible." After saying that, Xia En returned to the captain''s cabin. Sitting on the familiar captain''s chair, Shane closed his eyes. Submarine, start! ?Consciousness penetrates the cold and clear water, and strands of chill seep into the soul. The next moment. ?Shane opened his eyes. A magnificent water world under the ice appeared before his eyes. ?The sunlight from above penetrates the ice crystals on the sea surface, creating a texture like light mist in the sea. Coupled with the exceptionally clear and transparent water of [Lenglie Sea], this seawater adds a bit of a dreamy atmosphere. Under the body, a dead, gray-black city is sitting there quietly, waiting for the visit of outsiders. This is [Emerald Ancient City]? Xia En thought secretly. From the appearance alone, this city has nothing to do with "emerald". The surfaces of the buildings are covered with a layer of gray-black solid material. ?That was probably the volcanic ash that submerged the city. This kind of dust is insoluble in water and will naturally solidify in the absence of ocean currents. ??But after a little observation, Xia En frowned slightly. Theres something wrong with this place The biggest anomaly is that this sea area is a little too clean. This "clean" not only refers to sea water, but also refers to the marine life in sea water. ?Looking around, there was no sign of any sea beasts in the surrounding water, not even a small fish! The sea is a place that breeds life. No matter how clean the sea water is, there should be life. unless Something wipes out all life! Xia En was extremely vigilant and swam towards the city below. After a while, he came to the top of a street. ?Thick volcanic ash accumulated on the buildings, and people could only barely see their outlines. ??Not waiting for Xia En to control the sea water to disperse the volcanic ash on the surface of the building. In the dust not far away, a dark red light gradually lit up. Immediately, a dark red figure stood up from the volcanic ash and walked towards Xia En step by step. Its body is entirely made of ash, and it is still twisting and squirming. Its body is burning with dark red fire. Even the cold sea water cannot extinguish it! ?And among the ashes floating in the sea water, there was a faint, continuous and overlapping murmur. I dont want to die Someone come to save me... "Mother" ?These weird sounds penetrated the sea water and directly reached Xia En''s ears, making his hair stand on end. To this day, Xia En has seen quite a few strange entities. ?However, this burning ashes monster still frightened him secretly. ?Just a few moments. ??The murmurs and cries for help coming from the ashes turned into roars one after another, mixed with vicious curses. Its a living person Why is he still alive? Kill him! Kill him! ??These ember monsters clearly harbor a strong resentment against the living. ?In the streets and alleys, more and more ashes and smoke are squirming and rising, and dark red flames are rising from everywhere, attacking Xia En menacingly. ?Xia En drew out the Blood Demon Sword and slashed out tentatively. simultaneously! ??The great sword carried huge power as always, tearing apart the sea water and tearing apart the bodies of the Ember Dolls. But such physical attacks could not extinguish the flames burning in the ashes. ?In just an instant, the ashes in the volcano condensed into a human form again, roaring and screaming in pain while charging forward. Isnt it really possible? Xia En''s heart sank slightly. He had previously speculated that this ember monster might not be able to be killed with conventional physical attacks. The current attempts have proved this guess. To be honest, the current situation is quite unfavorable to Xia En. ?This kind of physically immune enemy is actually very restrained in his fighting style. Simply put, its like a numerical monster meets a mechanical monster! Unless Xia En uses a special skill like [Sword of Judgment], there is really no way to kill them completely. So...what about [Chaos Demon Pattern]? ?Xia En thought about this newly acquired talent. Just do it if you think of it. ??Following Xia En''s thoughts, ice blue magic patterns quickly appeared on his body surface. He stretched out his hand and moved forward slightly. In an instant, blue ice crystals formed in the sea water, quickly freezing one of the ember figures. Subsequently, Xia En slashed with his sword, and the ice crystals and the ember humanoids were shattered into pieces. ??The strange flame in its body actually went out! Kill the Ember Humanoid! The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" in the corpse has been detected. Do you want to absorb it? Xia En''s eyes lit up when he saw the words floating on the panel. It works! ??Moreover, this kind of monster can also explode experience points! Xia En''s eyes changed instantly. He looked at the ember monsters all over the city, as if he were looking at a huge experience bag, and his mouth almost watered with greed. But right now, there is a serious problem The good news is that [Chaos Pattern] has an outstanding effect on [Ember Humanoid]. The bad news is that the magic marks on Xia Ens body dont store much secret power at all! After all, he had just acquired this talent and had not even had time to develop [ordinary] qualities. Just after destroying three [Ember Humanoids], the cold secret power in the Shane Demon Pattern has already been exhausted. Looking in front of you, you can see countless groups of ashes coming in like a wave! ifier ?At this critical juncture, Xia En''s mind remained highly calm, and he had a bold idea in a flash of inspiration. The essence of [Chaos Demon Pattern] is to absorb other secret powers and release them when necessary. Since the secret power of ice can be absorbed, can this weird flame on [Ember Humanoid] also be absorbed? In normal times, Xia En would definitely not try it rashly. But now, the threat of an Ashes wave is imminent. Furthermore, even if the absorption fails, it is just the body of the projection of suffering. Thinking of this, Xia En did not hesitate and stretched out his hand directly to touch the nearest ember humanoid. A burning pain immediately came from the palm of my hand. At the same time, some weak secret power of the ember was also absorbed by the magic lines in his body. In an instant. ??The surging heat raged in Xia En''s body and quickly spread throughout his body. This is a feeling he has never experienced before. It was as if the illusory blood, muscles, bones, and even the smallest component units in the projected body were ignited by this mysterious power. ?Huge, heart-rending burning pain clearly acted on Xia En''s body, making his mind go blank and unable to think at all. It''s just that his body is not a real flesh and blood body after all, so it doesn''t really burn. Ship Soul Power -3! Ship Soul Power -2! ??Only the power of the ship''s soul kept falling on the panel, proving that the projected body continued to suffer terrible damage. ?Amidst the severe pain, Xia En''s consciousness gradually returned to clarity. It turns out that this is what it feels like to be ignited At this moment, he seemed to empathize with the pain of these ember figures. At the same time, he also developed a sincere admiration for Yan Yan. Xia En looked at the wave of embers around him, his pupils bursting with red flames, and murmured. In that case, let me give you relief. He opened his arms to the endless ashes. The surging heat flowed into Xia En''s body along the orifices of his body. ?The chaotic magic pattern began to shine, widen, and extend, from the main trunk of the chest, to the limbs, to the head, and to the tips of the fingers. Talent: Chaos Demon Pattern (Inferior) (Ordinary)! CommonRare! Its not just the quality of the gift that is improving. ??As one ember humanoid after another transferred heat to Xia En, the embers in their bodies were extinguished and converted into experience points. Ship Soul Experience +0.2%! Ship Soul Experience +0.8%! Ship Soul Experience +0.3%! While each T-shaped creature doesn''t give much experience, their sheer number makes up for it. I dont know how long it has been. ??Accompanied by a low buzzing sound, it was as if some invisible barrier had been broken through. Ship Soul Level: LV5 (0%)! (End of this chapter) Chapter 161 Legendary talent [Second Ship Soul]! Chapter 161 Legendary Talent[Second Ship Soul]! Boom ?A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami exploded in Xia En''s mind. Like the cry of sailors, mixed with the desolate boat song and the invisible stormy waves. ??However, what is different from the previous upgrades is that there seem to be two similar but different voices echoing in Xia En''s ears. It''s like...the end of his soul split into two branches. One of them was given to [Black Swan]. The other line extends into the void of the underworld, and there is currently no existence connected to it. Black Swan''s "Firepower" +2! Speed+2! "Strong" +2! Mystery+2! The mysterious power flowed into Xia En''s body, subtly nourishing every strand of his flesh and blood, and slowly precipitating into a more powerful force. At this time, all attributes of [Black Swan] finally exceeded the 50 mark. This means that Xia En can use [Ship Heart] to upgrade the hull for the second time! ?But now, what he is more concerned about is the newly unlocked talents after the ship soul level is improved. Unlock Talent: Second Ship Soul Quality: Legend Description: After unremitting efforts, your bond with the "Black Swan" has reached a new stage. Now, you can bind a second ship of your own! The bound ship can synchronize the effect of "Captain''s Majesty". But the bond with the new ship soul also needs to be cultivated gradually. When its ship soul level is increased, it can enjoy talents such as "Ship Soul Synchronization", "Submarine Anchor", and "Ship Heart". Double ship soul, double happiness! ifier The moment after reading this description, Xia En couldn''t help but take a breath. Golden legend! ?There is no doubt that this talent is the ability to bind a second ship that he has been thinking about for a long time. The strength of this talent is obvious. Powerful, no need to say more! ?Just the attributes that [Captains Majesty] can increase are exaggerated enough. Although [Black Swan] has become very extraordinary after several enhancements by Shane, its starting point is really too low. A small boat that could only be sold for more than three hundred silver snake coins. Do you still think how powerful it is? ??If feelings dont develop while getting along, and it cannot be changed after being bound to the ship... ??Shane might actually be like some captains and simply buy a bigger and stronger ship. ?Now, Xia En does not need to train this second ship from scratch. It can be bound to an already powerful ship. In this way, his strength will complete a huge surge! In addition to attributes, what surprised Xia En even more was that talents such as [Ship Soul Synchronization] can also be used on newly bound ships. ??If you use [Communication Ship Soul], wouldnt it be possible to achieve double blessings from two ship souls? After a new ship unlocks [Submarine Anchor Points], will the number of [Anchor Points] also increase? ??Moreover, after this, Shane can put the two ships on different strengthening routes. ?For example, let the [Black Swan] focus on the [Life] trait; let the new ship focus on the [Mystery] trait. Children only make choices, adults of course - I want them all! ?Just imagining these situations made Xia En''s heart surge with excitement. Its a pity that the [Blood Duke] was directly sunk by me. If I could have survived until now ?Xia En sighed regretfully. At that time, he never imagined that he would acquire such a talent as [Second Ship Soul] so quickly. But then I thought about it. Even if the [Blood Duke] had not been sunk, it would have been impossible for Shane to blitz Duke Island and Silver Moon Island with so many burdens and prisoners. ??He will most likely pack it up and sell it in the Insanity Islands. I can only say that Xia En and the Blood Duke are destined to be destined to each other. The other big ship that moved Xia En''s heart was the ghost ship in the foggy sea - [Diamond Star]! As the legendary ship that is regarded as "Noah''s Ark", its attributes are powerful enough in all aspects. Not to mention, it has now become a ghost ship that cannot be described by common sense. ?Of course, there is also a little selfishness on the part of Sean. Come on, thats a ghost ship! ??Its super cool, isnt it? ?Which captain hasnt fantasized about sailing a ghost ship across the sea? ?However, then again, [Lenglie Sea] is too far away from the Mist Sea. It will probably take a month or two to see the Diamond Star again. From the perspective of real-time combat power, perhaps it would be more appropriate to find a large ship nearby for binding? After thinking about it carefully, Xia En felt that there was no need for him to be in such a hurry to bind a new ship. ?This mentality is a bit like "refreshing the initial stage" when playing mobile games. ??Although the initial account you have to brush has to be practiced from scratch, the level of starting also affects the playing experience for a period of time. For example. [Black Swan] is like an R-rated character drawn when the server was launched. It has broken through the original limitations through a series of training and has the potential of SSR. ?? Now that I can bind a second ship, I naturally hope to create an SSR character with both potential and strength, and I dont want to just find a ship to bind. Soon, Xia En calmed down his ups and downs of thoughts and returned his attention to reality. At this time, the seawater in front of him was still filled with endless humanoid ashes struggling and squirming from the volcanic ash. But beside him, there was also a lot of extinguished dust. ?This is exactly the trace left behind after the "death" of those humanoid embers. ?Seeing this scene, the remaining humanoid embers looked at Xia En and murmured in subtle changes. He can kill us He can put out our fire Thats great ?They miraculously regained their sanity temporarily, and those crazy roars even turned into humble pleas. Please, take away my fire Ive had enough At this moment, it is not so much that Xia En is absorbing the secret power of the embers in their bodies, but rather that they are scrambling to send this power into Xia En''s body. ?This kind of absorption is naturally extremely efficient, but the price is that the burning pain in Xia En''s body becomes more intense. The power of the ship soul has also dropped to an extremely dangerous number. At this time, a squirming, female-like ember figure led a short figure and swam in front of Xia En. I ask you to help this child escape from endless suffering... To be honest, Xia En is also suffering unprecedented pain. Every part of the body seemed to be burning in invisible flames. ??If the projected body has flesh and blood, most of the flesh and bones have melted and been burned until they solidified. The [Chaos Demonic Patterns] on his body also glowed with dark red light, and severe pain continued to swell. Obviously, the magic pattern''s ability to accommodate the secret power has its upper limit. ?Such a violent influx was challenging its limits again and again, so much so that Xia En had the illusion that he was about to be torn apart by the magic lines spreading all over his body. It seemed as if he was about to explode and die in the next moment. But before that, Xia En still stretched out his hand to the two embers in front of him. An invisible heat flowed from the mother and son into Xia En''s body. The dark red color on their bodies gradually dissipated, and the strange flame finally went out. The mother whispered: "Thank you, kindhearted person..." ?Subsequently, their bodies collapsed. ?And Xia En also felt that the heat in his body had reached its limit. He looked down and found that his skin had become transparent and began to be gradually infected by embers. Like a firefly, his body lit up with fire and overflowed with light In the countless ashes, this projection body has also become a part of them. Submarine is over! Please choose your loot! 1. Embers and dust In the captain''s cabin, Xia En opened his eyes, with a faint dark red halo remaining in his eyes. ?He took a long breath and murmured with lingering fear: "This is the first time I have died in this way in so many dives." ??The pain of being burned by the secret power of the embers still seemed to remain in various parts of his body, and it had not subsided. ?However, although this [submersible] experience was torture, the rewards were also extremely rich. Just raising the level of the ship soul to LV5 brought Xia En enough surprise. ?Of course, Xia Ens improvement doesnt stop there. ?He took off his shirt and looked at himself in the mirror. I saw that on that beautiful body with streamlined muscles, dark red lines emerged extremely clearly, spreading all over the chest and limbs. It adds a bit of enchantment to this already toned body. Looking carefully, those lines seem to be slightly squirming and changing with the flow of blood, with a texture that **** other people''s souls into them. ?The secret power, as hot as magma, is contained in it and flows slowly. Can erupt with extremely terrifying power at any time. Talent: Chaos Demon Pattern (Rare)(Precious)! Seeing this line of prompts, Xia En couldn''t help but smile with satisfaction. One dive will increase this talent by three levels! ?The magnitude of this leap is not an exaggeration. ?Xia En stretched out his fingers, and with a thought, a small flame was generated on his fingertips. He had a hunch that if he used all his strength to activate the magic patterns on his body, the flames would immediately turn into a fire that burned down a town! Hoo! ?Xia En blew gently and extinguished the flames. He was not reckless enough to test this ability on the Black Swan. But obviously, he has added an attack method that is different from numerical crushing to suppress the bottom of the box. After experiencing his stronger body for a while, Xia En calmed down and recalled the [Emerald Ancient City] he had just seen, and many doubts arose in his mind. First of all, there is this weird [Secret Power of Embers]. Will a normal volcanic eruption, or even the burial of volcanic ash, really cause victims to endure endless burning? Either, the volcano itself is abnormal. ?Either this is not an ordinary volcanic eruption at all, but a long-planned massacre! ?Some people want to use this [Secret Power of Ember] to plunge the entire residents of [Emerald Ancient City] into this never-ending purgatory on earth. ?Thinking of this possibility, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little numb. What kind of hatred is this that makes people do such crazy things? On the other hand. The [Secret Power of Ember], coupled with the restless [Certificate of the King of Xin], naturally reminded Xia En of the king who left behind the [Treasure of Embers] - King of Xin! ? Could this secret power be his handiwork? ?Although it was just an intuition, Xia En instinctively denied this conjecture. The man in his memory who burned himself like firewood on the Throne of Fire should not do such a thing. The last doubt is... ?Legends say that there is a civilization of elves buried under the cold sea, but based on Xia Ens observation, the humanoid embers in the [Emerald City] seem to be just ordinary humans. In its architectural style, there is no uniqueness about the elves... ?While Xia En was thinking about these questions, the door to the captain''s cabin was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Along with it, there was Joeys questioning voice. Mr. Captain, Im coming in~ ?! ?Xia En was stunned for a moment and had not yet reacted. ?His eyes collided with the little head with white hair and red eyes that poked in from the door. Looking at Shane, who was shirtless, showing off his beautiful body, and Joey, who was wearing a furry fox fur coat, his cheeks quickly turned from white to red. Soon, even the roots of the ears were dyed crimson. I really want to touch it. Such an idea suddenly popped into Joey''s mind. How, how can this be possible! That''s the respected captain! This is so...so shameless! She shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the reverie in her heart. Although Joey and Shane had bathed together intimately when they were on the Ancestor Island in the Siren Archipelago, they had also seen the smooth and graceful muscle lines. But at that time, Xia En was still wearing thin clothes out of etiquette. Furthermore, the feeling of active display and accidental bumping are completely different. Its like something good happened suddenly today. Not to mention, the dark red and eerie lines amplified Xia Ens inherent charming temperament. Especially the concave lines in the gaps between the abdominal muscles are inexplicably attractive. ?Seeing Joey staring at his abs, Shane didn''t quite understand. Is this thing really that special for women? ahem. ?Shaan coughed twice and reminded: "Joy, why did you come in suddenly?" "ah!" ?Joy suddenly came back to his senses and quickly explained with his little hands. "It was Mr. Knight who reminded me that Captain, you might be suffering from some kind of pain and asked me to come to the captain''s cabin to have a look." "I have knocked on the door before, but Mr. Captain did not respond to me. In desperation, I..." After hearing this, Xia En understood clearly. An has the talent of [Knights Protection]. I am afraid that when Xia En was absorbing the [Secret Power of Embers], some of his mental pain was shared with him, and he became aware of it. As for the fact that he didn''t hear the knock on the door, it was also because the level of the ship''s soul had increased and the impact of the [Secret Power of Ember] was too strong. Thinking of this, Xia En said with relief: "Don''t worry, I''m fine." ?Joy breathed a sigh of relief: "That''s good." Xia En still looked at her and reminded her carefully: "I''m going to change clothes. Can you go out first?" But suddenly, at this moment. Dang! clang! clang! ??A rapid alarm bell sounded on the deck, causing the two men''s expressions to change suddenly. ?Shane immediately put on a coat and rushed to the deck with Joey. ??Coming to the deck, the sight in front of him made Xia En frown slightly. I saw that the ice sheets on the sea were cracking. ?One after another, the sea beasts covered with magic marks smashed the glaciers, gnawed the ice crystals, and crawled out of the ice. They let out a thundering roar and rushed towards the [Black Swan] like a tide! (End of this chapter) Chapter 162 Legion of sea beasts, ignite the sea! Chapter 162: Legion of sea beasts, igniting the sea! The ice cracked and the waves rolled in. Chaotic roars resounded throughout the sea area. One after another, sea beasts broke through the eternal glaciers, like prisoners who had broken free from their shackles, running rampant on the ice and sea. ??These magic-patterned sea beasts vary in size and race, including seals, sea lions, and walruses, as well as numerous schools of fish and penguins with deformed shapes. ??But without exception, they are all engraved with strange and chaotic magic patterns on their bodies, and they are violent and crazy aggressive. Where did these sea beasts come from? Fei Ya, who sounded the alarm, walked to Xia En and said solemnly: "Why are there so many of them?" ?Xia Ens brows furrowed, he suddenly woke up and muttered to himself. Ice! There is more than one layer of ice in this seawater! He had previously discovered that the depth of the water here was obviously much shallower than the previous sea area. It seems now that the thickness of the ice affected his judgment when he looked up from below. ?There is still some hidden space between these ice layers. ??The demon-patterned sea beasts were previously frozen in it, like a seal or a cage. ??The arrival of the [Black Swan] triggered a special restriction, allowing the sea beasts to escape from the seal and attack in the form of a tide of beasts. It turns out that this is the village chiefs real trap! Xia En suddenly felt enlightened. He was a little strange before. After the [Black Swan] arrives in this sea area, once it discovers anomalies in the [Emerald Ancient City], it may turn around and leave immediately. ??The Ember Dolls can''t do much damage to the ship. ?Now it seems that this group of demon-patterned sea beasts that broke out of the ice are the real killer move! But for some reason, these sea beasts always gave Xia En an indescribable strange feeling. Its like...are they not naturally born creatures? ?These thoughts may sound complicated, but in fact they just flashed through Xia En''s mind. He immediately fulfilled the duties of a captain and ordered. Set the ship and head south at full speed! ?Although Xia En has not yet left a [Submarine Anchor Point] in [Emerald Ancient City], he will still have many opportunities in the future. What we need to do now is to break through the encirclement of this group of demon-patterned sea beasts! ?Following Xia Ens order, the [Black Swan] suddenly let out a loud and high-pitched whistle. Immediately, this dark and sturdy ship burst out at extremely high speeds and galloped away from the ice sheet. only. ??This group of demon-patterned sea beasts, which had finally escaped from the ice, obviously would not let go of the [Black Swan] easily, and they immediately swung their bodies and chased after them from under the sea. The ice blue magic patterns on some sea beasts light up. ?The secret power of ice spread along the sea water, and soon a large amount of ice floes condensed on the sea in front of the Black Swan. ?These ice floes hit the hull of the Black Swan, slowing down its speed like shackles. ?However, ice crystals of this level cannot stop the progress of the [Black Swan]. In an instant. ??The hull of the ship named [Deep Fear] opened an invisible barrier, turning into a faint shadow, crushing away in all directions. Click click The ice crystals on the sea were easily crushed. At the bow of the ship, a huge sea beast tried to block the "Black Swan" with its body. However, with a heavy muffled sound, he was directly stabbed through by the thick and dark horn. Soon, scarlet blood spread in the sea water. ??But this not only failed to frighten the sea beasts on the ice sheet, but also made their behavior become more brutal and crazy, with bloodthirsty cruelty flashing in their eyes. Roar! In a thunderous roar. A fat walrus showed agility and speed that was not suited to its size. Like a deep-sea torpedo, it quickly approached the hull of the Black Swan. ??If it was allowed to hit like this, even with the strength of the [Black Swan], there would be a few cracks on the hull. At this time. ??Joy on the deck had a flash of blue light in his eyes, and his slender white palms suddenly clasped downwards. Bang! A wave suddenly swept across the sea. ??Many undercurrents seemed to turn into a big hand, tightly grasping the walrus among them, and lifting its body to the surface of the sea. Joy, thats a big help! Feiya set up a heavy machine gun named [Kepler 197] and started pouring firepower without hesitation. ?This six-barreled machine gun, which can be called an antique, rotates and spits out angry tongues of fire in all directions. ??The surprisingly powerful ammunition tore the walrus''s flesh apart in just one breath. Soon, Fei Ya turned his gun and harvested those demon-patterned sea beasts that dared to approach the [Black Swan]. ??If it were an ordinary crew member, facing such a terrifying tide of sea beasts, they would probably be frightened into confusion, and then be overwhelmed by the tide of beasts without any resistance. However, there is no so-called "ordinary person" on the Sean''s ship! ??Not only Joey and Fei Ya, but also An Xinge''s performance was extremely bright. At this time, the armored knight was floating in mid-air in a posture that defied the laws of physics, bathing in the light projected from the sky. And that mysterious armor has undergone indescribable changes. ?The material of the entire armor seems to have become lighter, but its sturdiness has not decreased but has increased, reflecting some divine brilliance in the sunlight. ??The strange and unique magic patterns also became brighter and thicker, showing a faint white color. The secret power in it is becoming more and more solid, and it also possesses some kind of magical activity. ?This ability to fly and the changes in the armor come from the [Holy Armor Soul] that Xia En gave him previously. I have to say that the money-making ability is easy to use! ?This valuable prop immediately enhances An''s real-time combat power. ?Now, this armor has three combat forms - land, sea, and sky. When the form changes, the color of the magic pattern will also change. Hence, Xia En prefers to call them "red form", "blue form" and "white form". At this moment, An was holding a big sword, with a faint white secret power emerging from his body, and he swooped down from a high place. Immediately, he slashed down with one sword! The sword was swung, the terrifying strong wind swept away, and spider web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the ice. simultaneously! The head of a sea beast was broken off at the sound, and rolled onto the ice with a rumble. At the same time, An''s figure rose upward again... After repeating this cycle, several sea beasts died under his hands, and the killing efficiency was very slow. ?On the other side, Bronze Dragon String Song was not idle either. ?After making an agreement with Xia En, Xian Ge became much more obedient than when she first got on the boat, and she rarely spoke like a "little devil" anymore. But this does not mean that the pride in its heart has been wiped out. You must know that even in the face of the two giant dragons, Xian Ge still dared to roar to show his presence. Not to mention facing these sea beasts with ordinary blood in front of them. Roar!! ?Xiange raised the dragon''s head and let out a thunderous dragon roar. You alone, dare to be my enemy? ?Her small body burst out with unparalleled dragon power, instantly frightening the demon-patterned sea beasts from all directions. ?Xian Ge spread her wings slightly and her neck moved up and down, as if she was accumulating some kind of strength. The next second, its lower jaw opened, and thick secret power surged out from its chest Dragon Breath! After bathing in dragon blood, this little dragon finally mastered this innate skill of mass destruction. The hot, violent, and turbulent dragon''s breath is sprayed out in a cone shape. The fan-shaped area directly in front of Xian Ge was directly engulfed by the secret power. ??The demon-patterned sea beast that rushed forward didn''t even have a chance to howl, and was killed by this terrifying breath. A large melting hole appeared in the ice. Such a wave of breath made the battlefield empty in an instant. Xian Ge showed a proud smile: "Humph, a trash fish is a trash fish!" Lets see if you still dare to mess with me! ?After muttering a few words in a low voice, Xian Ge quietly looked at Xia En, as if he wanted to take credit. Xia En couldn''t see her little thoughts and said with a smile. Dont worry, the golden dragon coins are indispensable for you. Looking at the sea beasts that were constantly coming and being killed around the [Black Swan], Xia En also felt a little emotional. ?Unconsciously, his crew members have grown to a level that is intimidating to ordinary people. ??Xia En doesn''t even need to take action, the terrifying tide of sea beasts can''t do anything to them. ?However, Xia En did not intend to simply escape from the beginning. He just wanted to use the high speed of the Black Swan to leave the encirclement of the sea beasts, and then use the "kite flying" tactic to destroy them all along the way. After all, these are all experience points! Although after reaching LV5, the experience provided by these sea beasts is further compressed, but mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are! At this moment. On the ice farther away, several demon-patterned sea beasts gathered together. ??Their bodies are generally larger, and the magic patterns on their bodies are darker. ?In a roar that sounded like communication, these sea beasts seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, and then the magic patterns on their bodies lit up one after another. C Similar magic patterns created a unique resonance, and gradually bloomed into a more dazzling ice blue light. ??Xia En could sense that the secret power in the sea beasts'' bodies was gathering rapidly, forming an icy blue light group in mid-air. Soon, other sea beasts were inspired by the light group and invested their secret power into it. Feiya was the first to change her expression: "No, that light group..." The expressions of Joey and Xian Ge also changed suddenly. ?In their perception, the energy level of the icy blue light group was accumulating at an exaggerated speed, and had reached an extremely terrifying level. ?Xia Ens brows furrowed. The strange feeling in his heart was magnified again. Normal sea creatures of different races should fight each other after going berserk. But instead of doing this, this group of sea beasts actually worked together to use the secret power in their bodies? Looking at the momentum of their charge, they don''t look like reckless wild animals at all, but more like an army with strict orders! Army! ? For a moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xia En''s mind. Yes, maybe they are not naturally born sea beasts at all, but artificially created legions of sea beasts! But what is the purpose for which they are made? Who created them? After having a suspicion, Xia En encountered more questions. ?But now is obviously not the time to think deeply about these issues. Just because the ice-blue light group compressed and condensed among the sea beast legions has gradually reached its limit. ?Fine and blue ice crystals emerge around the light group. Under this beauty, there is extreme danger hidden. ?Seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate, clasped his hands and stretched forward. A small fire was generated between his hands, and quickly grew and expanded. at the same time. Dark red lines began to appear on Xia En''s face, which shimmered. This change quickly spread throughout the body. As Xia En took a deep breath, the lines became brighter. It becomes brighter each time you inhale, and slowly dims every time you exhale. ?The scorching and scalding secret power accumulated during the dive turned into surging heat and merged into the seemingly tiny flames. In fact, this is also the first time that Xia En has used this [Secret Power of Embers] in such depth. Of course he was worried that this secret power would set his body on fire. But at the moment, this is also the most effective way to deal with that icy blue light group. Use magic patterns to fight against magic patterns! Fortunately, the worst case did not happen. When the heat reached its peak, Xia En only felt a fire burning in his chest. It''s like the whole world was burned to ashes, giving birth to rage and unwillingness! Although Xia En didnt know where this emotion came from, at this time, he miraculously resonated with it. Boom! The next moment, the icy blue light group that had been accumulated to the extreme suddenly shined brightly. ??A beam of light that released a cold chill suddenly burst out from it and headed straight for the [Black Swan]! ?It is so cold that even the air seems to freeze. In the path, several sea beasts were unable to dodge, and in less than a second, they turned into hard ice sculptures. ??If it were to hit the [Black Swan], the ship and everyone on board would probably end up in the same fate. But at this time. Another dark red beam, like an unburned flame, shot out from Xia En''s hand, piercing the sky with a sharp whistle! Shortly afterwards, it collided with the ice blue beam! The expected loud noise did not happen. ?At this moment, the world seemed to fall into silence. Two completely different secret forces are constantly consuming, entangled, and devouring each other. ?Not long after, this silent fight quickly ended with the defeat of the ice blue beam. ?The terrible flames instantly defeated the beam of light and fell into the light group above the heads of the sea beasts. ?The light group shattered, leaving dots of icy blue dots in mid-air, which were beautiful and dreamy. Boom ?The terrible roar was belatedly heard at this time. ?The escaping embers of fire fell on the sea beasts like heavy snow, easily igniting the fur and flesh, and covering their bodies in flames. ?Even the ice seems to be unable to stop the spread of this flame. ??The surrounding sea surface was lit with little bits of fire. At this moment, its like... The sea is on fire! ?The crew members stared blankly at this scene, unable to recover for a long time. (End of this chapter) Chapter 163 The hull has been upgraded again, [Black Swan (2)! 】 Chapter 163 The hull is upgraded again, [Black Swan (+2)! Kill the Demonic Sea Beast (fake)! Get the trophy: the corpse of the demon-patterned sea beast (pseudo)! Quality: inferior Type: Material Description: A replica created by a certain entity. Underneath the seemingly normal flesh and blood, there is a distorted and transformed will. "The purpose of their creation is probably related to the destroyed elves, right?" ?Several lines of text appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes, which also proved his previous conjecture. Sure enough, this kind of magic-patterned sea beast is abnormal ?Xia En touched his chin and turned his head to look at the sea around him. At this time, the flames that seemed to ignite the sea had gradually extinguished, and only a few sporadic flames were still burning quietly. The charred corpses of sea animals were lying everywhere on the ice and on the sea, which looked very tragic. The remaining sea beasts seemed to realize that the enemies in front of them were invincible, so they hurriedly dived into the ice sea and quickly disappeared. A raging beast crisis has been eliminated. After all, Shanes secret power of ember is limited, and it is somewhat different from the original version. But being able to achieve this level is shocking enough. Well, thats great! ?Joy couldn''t help but exclaimed, his eyes full of shock. ?Unknowingly, Mr. Captain secretly mastered such a powerful ability! Fei Ya has long been accustomed to Xia En''s extraordinary performance, so she just sighed softly. As expected of Captain Shane. ??Xia En accepted these compliments calmly and was about to get off the boat to receive the trophies when he noticed that Ann and Ghost Miss Vivian''s reactions were a little strange. ?Noticing Xia En''s gaze, An hesitated for a moment, then took out a pen and paper to write. Master Captain, the body of this sea beast is not normal. It has an aura that makes me very uneasy, maybe it carries some kind of special pollution? ?Xia En was a little surprised. He was able to determine the abnormality of the magic sea beast by relying on the prompts on the panel. And An realized this intuitively? Or is it related to the race of elves? At this time, Vivian also came up, standing on the edge of the deck and looking at the corpse of the sea beast on the ice, and then showed a somewhat contradictory expression. Its so disgusting, I dont like these monsters Xia En glanced at her in surprise. ?This heartless and greedy ghost lady rarely expresses her disgust for something so quickly and clearly. Not to mention, these sea beasts technically belong to the category of "food". ??On the other hand, Xian Ge, Joey and other crew members did not show similar disgust. What An and Vivian have in common is that they both have a deep connection with the elves. Combining it with the description on the panel, a conjecture gradually emerged in Xia En''s mind. The purpose of creating this kind of magic-patterned sea beast is to destroy the elves! But the sea beast itself is just a tool. What is really scary is the mastermind behind the creation and control of sea beasts. ??Not only did He eliminate the elves on the physical level, he also set up the [Curse of Aphasia] in an attempt to completely erase the traces of the elves'' existence. ?So, could this be a **** from ancient times? ?Thoughts in his mind were ups and downs, but Xia En still got off the boat and walked towards the body of the sea beast. ?But soon, he was surprised to find that the prompt "[Secret Sea Crystal] Detected" did not appear on the panel. In other words, this fake sea beast doesnt even give you any experience points! ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s mood suddenly became bad. Damn it, how dare you deduct my experience! Looking at so many sea beast corpses, Xia En felt the anger of leaving after a burst of physical pain. He has always only been able to win twice or three times, but this time, he was actually prostituted for nothing? ?That was all the secret power he had worked so hard to absorb, but in the end he only set off a giant firework once, but no [Secret Sea Crystal] came in? No matter which **** you are, I will remember you! Xia En said to himself angrily: "By the way, there is also the village chief of the ice and snow island..." It was designed and plotted for no reason. No one will swallow this easily. The curse of the villagers on the ice and snow island spontaneously burning for no reason is certainly shocking, but if they dare to provoke themselves, they are undoubtedly seeking their own destruction! Xia En will not have the slightest sympathy towards his enemies. Just when Xia En was thinking about these things. The corpses of the surrounding sea beasts have undergone new changes. After a strange sound like air leakage, it was as if their existence had broken through a certain limit. ?These corpses, which were either charred or broken, suddenly began to disintegrate and fester, turning into a viscous substance like black mud, which quickly penetrated into the ice and seawater. Disappear in the blink of an eye. ?The ice surface that was just covered with corpses soon became as tidy as ever, so clean that not even a drop of blood could be seen. It was as if...the previous beast tides and wars had never happened. "What''s this?" ?Looking at this scene, Joey on the deck opened his eyes wide and felt a creepy feeling in his heart. ??The sea beast they just fought with is actually such a weird thing? Fei Ya also frowned and looked down at the two steam cores on her body, as if listening to something. ??Then he spoke: "By the gods of steam and steel, that is an absolute filth and blasphemy." I think we need to use sacred steam to cleanse our body and mind to avoid leaving hidden dangers. Fei Yas proposal was quickly approved by everyone. They walked into the boiler room in batches and experienced the baptism of steam. The steam is added with calming incense, supplemented by Feiya''s unique steam magic... Not to mention the purification effect, as far as the feeling is concerned, it is like taking a steaming sauna, which is particularly comfortable in this ice and snow environment. Not long. A refreshed Xia En returned to the captain''s cabin, feeling that most of the unhappiness of not gaining experience points had dissipated. He calmed down and opened the panel. Ship: Black Swan (+1)(+) Materials required for a single enhancement Timber already held: 401% Metals already held: 382% Proportion of extraordinary materials: 45% (the upper limit of this enhancement is 30%) Each attribute has exceeded 50 and can be enhanced! At this time, the (+) sign after [Black Swan] has lit up, which means that the second enhancement can be carried out. ?After successively looting Duke Island and Silver Moon Island, Shane''s space ring contained a large amount of extraordinary materials, including metal and wood. Now, choosing what materials to use for reinforcement has become a problem. Should we continue to improve the ships self-healing ability and sturdiness, or increase the efficiency of absorbing secret power? ??Xia En is rarely caught in the dilemma of making a choice. To be honest, his previous enhancement of the ship actually had no specific direction at all, and he just let nature take its course. Wherever it becomes brighter. But now, since we have the talent of [Second Ship Soul], we should really plan it carefully. ?Taking into account the bond with [Black Swan] and ease of use. Even if Shane binds a second ship, he will most likely use the [Black Swan] as the main ship and the new ship as a **** ship. In this case, the firepower attribute of [Black Swan] is still very lacking, and it cannot reach the level of a real battleship''s main gun. "It is better to continue to enhance the ability of the hull to absorb secret power." "It can not only use the hull to generate a protective cover, but also enhance the power of the magic pattern heavy cannon." Xia En carefully analyzed the pros and cons: "As for the ability to heal myself, with my current [high-speed regeneration] talent, it is enough for the time being." Even if materials are invested, the degree of enhancement is not obvious. Soon, Xia En made up his mind and took out the mithril from the [Ring of Apocalypse], the dragon bone obtained in the Siren Islands, and a special wood called [Star Wood]. ?This kind of wood belongs to the collection of the Duke of Nova. Like mithril, it has the effect of absorbing secret power. Duke Nova seemed to have originally planned to use these two materials to build a new mansion for practice, but unexpectedly, he ended up taking advantage of Xia En. As for other miscellaneous materials, there is no need to go into details. After getting ready, Xia En thought decisively in his heart. [Eye of the Secret Sea], add it to me! Xiao Hei, have a good meal! Yes, Master! ?Xiao Hei''s delighted voice sounded in his mind. The next moment. ! Boom! Boom! ?The heartbeat, as low as a drum, sounded from deep within the hull of the Black Swan. Humbling vibrations spread to every corner of the ship. Immediately afterwards, the invisible [Heart of the Ship] began to swallow up many magical and ordinary materials and integrate them into its own body. at the same time. The crew members on the ship all noticed this strange change and looked around in surprise. ??The last time the hull was strengthened, some crew members were not on board and missed the transformation process. At this moment, they clearly felt The cabins and corridors inside the [Black Swan] are all extended and become more spacious under the influence of an invisible force. No, its more like growing! rather than stretching. Like a child growing into an adult, like a young sapling growing into a towering tree. The surging, unique vitality and activity are rushing through the body of [Black Swan] along with the dull heartbeat. In the eyes of the crew. The ceiling above the head is getting higher, and the walls and floors are visibly becoming stronger, with a light silver metallic sheen. Looking more beautiful and beautiful than before. Vaguely, they could still hear the whispers of the things on the ship. Cannons, decks, hulls, masts, sails... these important components are communicating in a language that only they can understand. ?Joy listened carefully and felt that they were calling Mr. Captains name together, as if they were singing and praising his achievements. This miraculous change did not last too long. By the time the crew members came to their senses, the entire Black Swan had undergone a transformation that amazed them! In the captain''s cabin. ??Xia En looked at the prompts that appeared on the panel with a smile on his lips. The main body of "Black Swan" has been strengthened successfully! Durability limit +50! Strong +8! Mystery +3! Comprehensive quality: 1.51.75! Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Mithril", the effect of the trait "Mystic Power Aggregation" has been improved! Quality: RarePrecious! Description: Now, you can store the secret power absorbed by the ship in the magic patterns on the hull, and fire it out with the help of the "Magic Pattern Heavy Cannon"! The damage value is based on the "mysterious" attribute of the ship and the total amount of accumulated secret power. Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Ancient Dragon Skeleton", the trait "Dragon Power" is unlocked! Quality: Rare Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Star Wood", the trait "Star Power" is unlocked! Quality: Rare Description: After being fused with star wood, this ship can absorb a small amount of the secret power from the stars! Effect 1: Night travelOn a clear night without cloud cover, the speed of your ship will be slightly increased. The increase shall not exceed 10% of the total speed. Effect 2: Star PilotageWhen you are on this ship, you can more easily observe the stars in the sky and determine the course. Xia Enchang exhaled a breath of thick air. ??As [Captains Majesty] takes effect, the enhancement of [Black Swan] also acts on him simultaneously. He could clearly feel that the skin on his body had become tougher and more delicate. ?This kind of "toughness" is not a hard texture like stone, but a unique toughness that can relieve the force. ??If a knife blade were used to cut Xia En''s skin, not even a white mark would be left. Becoming stronger again than before. ?Xia En clenched his fists and looked quite excited. ?The reason why he is willing to fight monsters and upgrade boringly again and again is because...this kind of pleasure of getting stronger is really addictive! ??Although the quality of these newly unlocked effects is not high, they are all very practical. Made Xia En quite satisfied. Then, he asked in his mind: "Xiao Hei, how do you feel now?" Great! ?Xiao Hei responded excitedly: [I have never felt such a wonderful feeling! At this time, with the help of the connection with the [Black Swan], Xia En could have a complete picture of it in his mind without leaving the captain''s cabin. First of all, it is naturally the hull that is enlarging and growing again. If you use [Blood Duke] as a reference. The size of the earliest [Black Swan] was only one-sixth of its size. After the first strengthening, it became a quarter. Now, the [Black Swan] is already half the size of the [Blood Duke]! ??Although it is still not a spectacular ship, compared with its former self, it has completed a gorgeous transformation! ?In addition to the increase in size, the hull surface of the [Black Swan] has also undergone considerable changes. ??More silver lines appear on both sides of the ship''s hull, as variable in light and shade as blood vessels. ? ?Dotted, star-like light spots are dotted around the mithril pattern, giving it a dreamy and magnificent texture. Taken as a whole, the temperament of [Black Swan] is still weird and ominous. But just looking at the hull, it does look somewhat similar to those beautiful and exquisite [hunting boats]. ?Perhaps this can be considered as realizing Xiao Heis dream? With the crisis of the sea monster tide solved, Xia En and his party naturally have no need to rush out of this sea area. The next day. Xia En came to the ruins of [Emerald Ancient City] again. Only this time, he was not in a hurry to absorb the secret power of the [Ember Dolls], but continued to sneak underneath the city. This is to verify a conjecture in his mind. Soon, the accumulated volcanic ash was pushed aside and the bluestone road underneath was dug. A layer of frozen, thick ice crystals was revealed in front of Xia En. Immediately, Xia En was able to see a mysterious city different from the [Emerald Ancient City], standing under the ice! (End of this chapter) Chapter 164 Emerald Holy City, Guardian Fairy Tracy! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 164: Emerald Holy City, GuardianFairy Tracy! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Under the ice, there is still ice! ??This is the lesson those group of magic-patterned sea beasts taught Xia En. At present, this city hidden in ice crystals has undoubtedly proved his conjecture. Looking down through the clear ice, you can vaguely see the appearance of the city. ??The architectural style there is different from any island or ruins that Sean has ever seen. It has a kind of exquisiteness and beauty that is difficult to describe in words. The main hall is blue and green, standing in the center of the city, surrounded by other buildings like stars over the moon. Houses that appear to be made of white oak are laid out in what can be described as a beautiful layout. ?The neat streets and tofu-like buildings make people wonder if the people who built this city have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. But it is undeniable. ??If we only evaluate it based on Shanes aesthetics, the city itself can be called a beautiful work of art. This is...the city of elves? Xia En''s breathing stagnated slightly. This unique style reminded him of a race that had almost disappeared from the Seven Seas. This discovery also made him feel deeply confused. In legend, [Emerald Ancient City] is the place where the magic pattern was born. And magic patterns are the skills that elves are best at. So, Xia En subconsciously thought that [Emerald Ancient City] was the city of elves. But now it seems that this is not the case. The real city of elves is actually hidden under the [Emerald Ancient City]! ??If this kind of news spreads to the Seven Seas, I''m afraid not many people will believe it. And the problem is Why does this peculiar urban layout appear? Could it be that [Emerald Ancient City] was a city built after the destruction of the elves? Or, is this city the protective umbrella of the Elf City? ??Xia En was thinking about these questions while carefully observing the bottom of the ice. It can be seen that in this exquisite city like a work of art, there are sometimes some dark shadows wandering past. ??The faces of these black figures are not clear, but judging from the lines that light up on their bodies, they are obviously members of the "Legion of Sea Beasts". ??Furthermore, these demon-patterned sea beasts in the depths of the ocean are several times more terrifying than the previous sea beasts on the sea, both in size and aura! ?How long have they been wandering here? Perhaps hundreds of years, perhaps thousands of years. Even though the elves have been destroyed... To this day, they still fulfill the orders of the Creator, patrolling this sea area and killing all those who want to pry into the secrets of the past. But the more this happened, the more curious Xia En became. You wont let me see it, right? I want to see it! Give me access! Having said that, Xia En did not directly and recklessly cut through the ice and explore downwards. ??He first found a few embers and replenished the secret power in the magic pattern. Then he came to the ice, melted the ice with heat, and dived into the depths of the sea. ?As soon as he entered the ice under the ice, Xia En suddenly felt that the temperature of the surrounding water had dropped again. ?Threads of chill seeped into Xia En''s skin through the protection of the ship''s soul. ??Xia En had no choice but to activate the magic patterns on his body to use the "Secret Power of Embers" to fight against the cold sea water. At this time. A huge black shadow seemed to be aware of the fluctuation of this secret power, and swayed its huge body slowly towards it. After getting closer, Xia En immediately recognized its race from its unique appearance. White belly, black dorsal fin, oval white patches around the eye sockets There is no doubt that this is a killer whale! ?This creature itself is the top predator in the ocean, and after mutation, it has a body length of more than 20 meters, which is larger than the previous seals. ?Strange magic patterns flickered on and off its back, releasing ice-blue ice crystals. ?Seeing such a huge creature swimming towards him, even Xia En felt a great sense of oppression. Its not that he was afraid of the killer whale. Its just that if you want to deal with this guy, you must use the [Giant Wristwheel] to transform into a giant. The battle between two giant creatures on the bottom of the sea will inevitably attract the attention of other sea beasts, causing the submarine to return in vain. Another important reason is ?These created sea beasts dont have [Secret Sea Crystals], so why bother fighting them to the death? ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s thoughts became clear instantly. ??The main purpose of this [Sneak Voyage] is to explore the secrets of this elven city. To sneak in, you can''t use Wushuang. ??Xia En immediately restrained the magic marks on his body and swam into the killer whale''s blind spot as quickly as possible. And, approach the buildings below. At this point, the advantages of small size and fast speed come into play. ??The killer whale only felt a tiny black shadow flash in the peripheral vision, and the aura that had previously concerned it completely disappeared. Looking around for a moment, but still finding nothing unusual, the killer whale swam away in another direction. The city below. The corner of a small courtyard. Xia En stood up and sighed in his heart: "Suddenly switching to stealth mode, I''m really not used to it..." Soon, he turned his head and looked at the small courtyard beside him, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Just now, we only had a rough view of the outlines of these buildings from a high place. ?Now, only when you are close and personally beside the houses can you feel their unique beauty even more. Whether it is the murals on the wall, the detailed textures on the railings, or the layout of flowers and plants in the courtyard, they all give people a feeling of "beauty". Xia En sighed secretly: "According to legend, the elves walk on the "path of beauty". Same as the [Way of Judgment], it is an ancient and mysterious way. ...Huh? Wait, flowers and plants? ?Xia En suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the flowers and plants blooming in the courtyard. This is something that should not exist on the bottom of the sea! Not to mention, these vegetations are still alive at this time and have not withered at all. ?Shaan couldnt help but reach out and touch it. ?But when he reached out his hand, he understood what was going on. ice! The surface of the vegetation is covered with a layer of transparent ice. ?It is the existence of this layer of ice that freezes the flowers and plants in the courtyard at their most vivid moment. ?Xia En quickly looked at other things in the small courtyard. ?As he expected, everything here was wrapped in solid ice. This way, wooden houses do not rot and metal railings do not rust. Obviously, this situation does not only occur in this small courtyard. It can be said that this city is a huge ice sculpture! ?This immediately reminded Xia En of the town he met during his first dive in the Cold Sea. The two states are so similar that they even seem to be carved from the same mold. There is another possibility Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "The source of the cold wave that freezes the town comes from this elven city!" He had heard such a legend. If the power of extreme cold is used to freeze living creatures in a very short period of time. ?Then, this living creature may not really die, but will wake up when the ice melts. Similar to a "cryo chamber" on Earth. - Freeze those dying patients who cannot be cured by modern medical technology, hoping to wake them up and cure them when the level of medical treatment is higher in the future. From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as trusting in the wisdom of future generations.?????Place hope in the future. ?This city of elves is frozen. Is there someone who wants to save the elves ethnic group in this special way? Xia En originally thought that this conjecture was quite credible, but after a brief search of the surrounding houses, he denied it. Because, there is no sign of any elves in the streets and houses nearby! In some houses, there are clearly traces of people living there ?There are frozen dishes on the table, and half of the tea is drunk. ??The table is slightly open, the book is open... ?These scenes are as if there were people living in this city one second, and then disappeared the next. Suddenly, the entire city was affected by the cold wave and fell into eternal ice. What the **** is going on? ?Just when Xia En was confused, a petite figure quietly appeared behind his head and asked. Hello! Who are you? ?Shaan was startled by the sudden sound that reached his ears and looked back. ??I saw a palm-sized humanoid creature with wings, looking at him menacingly, with an expression of "I''m super fierce". ?Its just that with her small body and pretty face, no one will be scared by it, right? Seeing this little guy, Xia En was also stunned for a moment. ??This is...a goblin? ??As far as Xia En knows, goblins are a kind of creature that is associated with trees and forests. Before the great flood, fairies existed in almost every dense forest. There is also a saying that goblins and elves are natural partners and a mutually reinforcing relationship. It''s just that in this era, perhaps because of changes in the general environment, the number of goblins is becoming increasingly scarce. ??The last time Xia En saw this kind of creature was at the auction of the [Insanity Islands]. How can there be fairies under this sea of ??ice? ? And judging from her appearance, it seems that she can still live and speak normally in the sea? Hey, did you hear that? Im asking you something! ??This goblin stared at Xia En very warily: "I noticed you when you broke through the ice just now!" This is the emerald holy city of the elves, and we cannot allow outsiders like you to do whatever you want! ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. The little goblin is quite powerful. ?However, its not that he doesnt want to speak, its that he cant. Conch Necklacecan only be used to communicate with the sea tribe, and obviously cannot transmit sounds to this goblin''s ears. Xia En pointed to his mouth and shook his head, trying to explain the matter in sign language. Fortunately, this sea fairy is smart enough and reacted quickly: "Oh, by the way, you can''t talk..." Wait a moment, Ill be back soon. As soon as he finished speaking, the goblin flapped its wings and disappeared from Xia En''s sight. ?Shaan: ??Isn''t this little guy afraid of running away on his own? It''s hard to tell whether she is too naive or has too little experience in communicating with others. After a while, the little goblin returned to Xia En, and hummingly took out a seed as big as her head. Here it is for you. If you eat it, you should be able to speak in the sea. ?Xia En didnt show any pretense, he just took the seed and swallowed it. Since he is a projection body, he will not die even if he wants to die, so his actions are naturally much bolder. ?This seed turns into cool energy and spreads in the throat as soon as it is taken into the mouth. You swallowed "Seed of Haiyin"! Unlock the ability "Underwater Conversation"! ?Xia En opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Hello?" Normally, the stagnant sea water that hindered the propagation of sound allowed the sound to spread outward, allowing this sentence to reach his ears clearly. So amazing ?Shaan was a little surprised. Communication in sea water has always been a big problem for him. The previous [Conch Necklace] and [Underwater Sound Device] can only be used in special areas. At this time, the new ability directly unlocked means that from now on, he can talk underwater. And this relies on just a small seed! "Hello." With a stern face, the goblin said to Shane: "My name is Tracy, and I am the current guardian of this emerald holy city!" Now, tell me your purpose honestly! Guardian? The Emerald City of the Elves? ?Shane thought of what Tracey said before. ?Although this city is also named "Emerald", it is completely different from the city covered by volcanic ash above. The residents here are indeed real elves! But now, why is there only one goblin who calls himself "Guardian" left here? Xia En asked curiously: "Besides you, are there any other goblins or elves in this city?" ?Hearing this question, Tracy''s little face froze suddenly. But she quickly cheered up and said: "Yes, I am the only one! But so what?" I am the guardian appointed by Her Majesty the Queen herself! As long as I am still here, I will protect this city until I complete my mission! Hearing this, Xia En felt a bit of admiration in his heart. It has been at least a thousand years since the elves were destroyed. ?This seemingly petite fairy has been waiting alone on this cold and lonely seabed. In any case, this is not an easy task. Xia En said seriously: "You have worked very hard." Hearing this, Tracy''s voice sounded a little happy: "Really?" "Yes." Tracey lowered her head shyly, and her wings flapped slightly behind her. Xia En asked curiously: "But then again, what is the mission you have been given?" It seems that the conversation just now has greatly increased Tracey''s favorability. She did not ask Xia En what he wanted to do here, and said frankly. Her Majesty asked me to wait for someone. who? A person who can melt the eternal ice. ? Tracey looked Xia En up and down, and finally, after careful and long thought, she said. Come with me, Ill take you somewhere. After saying that, she took the lead and swam towards the center of the city. ?Sha En''s heart was moved, but he still didn''t ask any more questions and quickly followed Tracy''s footsteps. Not long. A gorgeous, exquisite and solemn hall came into Xia En''s field of vision. ?Exceptionally thick, cold ice covered the outside of the palace, blocking the door leading to the palace. (End of this chapter) Chapter 165 Another [Diamond Star]? ! Chapter 165 Another [Diamond Star]? ! ?The appearance of this temple is magnificent. ?The towering gate is at least twenty to thirty meters long, and the walls are extremely smooth, with no gaps in the masonry visible. High up, green emeralds and blue crystals are inlaid there, and together with various carved patterns, form complex decorations. Just looking at this hall, a strong sense of history comes over me. "here it is?" ?Shaan couldnt help but ask. Tracey looked up at the main hall, a look of reminiscence and nostalgia appeared on her face. This was once the temple of the elves. Many elves would pray to the Mother Goddess here, some for newlyweds and some for newly born babies. But now Speaking of this, the goblin''s eyes dimmed a little. ?But soon, Tracy cheered up and said to Shane. The mission entrusted to me by Her Majesty the Queen is to wait for someone who can melt the ice on the surface of this temple. Can you do it? She looked at Xia En, her eyes full of hope. ?Over the long years, this mission has become a burden and a shackles that Tracey cannot escape. I think...I probably cant do it. Xia En said calmly: "However, I can give it a try first." ?From his observation just now, the ice outside this elven temple is completely different from the ice in other places. It presents an extremely solid and solid texture, like the state of ice and snow that has been compressed thousands of times its volume. ?That cold secret power is even continuing to spread outwards. This is also one of the reasons why the water temperature in this sea area has dropped again. ?With Xia Ens current [Secret Power of Ember], even if he could melt this layer of ice, it would still take an unusually long time. Furthermore, when it comes to things that are uncertain, Xia En doesnt like to give people hope first and then despair. ? Dont talk too much, and even if you fail in the end, you wont let others down too much. On the other hand, if it succeeds in the end, Tracey will be pleasantly surprised. After saying these words, Xia En swam to the side of the Elf Temple, stretched out his hand, and touched the eternal ice. As soon as he touched the ice, his expression changed slightly. This is by no means an ordinary ice layer, but a special seal! ??Many tiny ice crystals are arranged and combined in a special way to form an extremely solid cage. At this time, when outsiders touched the seal, it naturally launched a counterattack. The next moment. A chill that penetrated into the bone marrow poured into Xia En''s body. ?The chill was so terrible that a layer of ice crystal white frost quickly appeared on his body, as if it was freezing him here. Ship Soul Power -3! Ship Soul Power -2! ?Seeing the ice crystals quickly spreading from his palms to his whole body, Xia En immediately activated the magic patterns on his body surface, and the scorching secret power emerged to fight against the ice crystals. ?However, it was quite difficult for Xia En to just keep himself from being frozen, and there was no way he could melt this layer of ice. This is a gap between levels of secret power. ??The being who originally set up this "extreme cold seal" is far superior to Xia En at this stage in terms of strength and control over the secret power! ?Only when Xia En goes further on the secret path and enters a deeper level can this seal be unlocked. After a brief attempt, Shane quickly let go of his hand and swam back to Tracy. Seeing this, Tracy sighed and murmured. Sure enough, arent you the one Im waiting for? Just when the goblin was feeling sad, Xia En said: "Although I can''t break the seal, I know that there is someone who may be able to do it." "real?" Hearing this, Tracys eyes suddenly lit up: Do you know such a person? "Yes, but I''m not sure he can melt in this layer of ice." In order not to let Tracy expect too much, Shane could only speak vaguely. In fact, the candidate he had in mind was none other than Yan Yan, who was wrapped in flames. The flame that never goes out; The ice that never melts ?This sounds like the relationship between keys and door locks. Thinking further, is it really just a coincidence that Yan Yan appears on the Ice Island not far from the Emerald Holy City? Is it possible that he is the back-up man left behind by the Elf Queen? ?However, this is just Xia Ens guess after all and needs further verification. Confirmed the next goals. ??Xia En did not waste this opportunity to dive, leaving the city below and heading to the [Emerald Ancient City] buried in volcanic ash. ?There, there are countless [Ember Humanoids] waiting for relief. By the way, Xia En also briefly searched the city. ?This city is worthy of being the birthplace of magic pattern technology. There are a large number of creations painted with magic patterns in the houses. And involves all aspects of life. ?Practicality aside, for some scholars and archaeologists, it presumably has high research value. Submarine is over! Please choose your loot! 1.Broken magic pattern spear 2.Gold-plated magic pattern dinner plate 3. Ice silk magic pattern stockings "Um?" Xia En was stunned for a moment when he saw these three options. ??He really just searched a few rooms at random, how could he still find something like this? After a brief hesitation, Xia En still followed his heart and chose option 3. Not for any other reason. ?Just out of curiosity, what would be the effect of the magic pattern attached to the ice silk stockings? Soon, a pair of wet white silk stockings appeared in Xia En''s hands. There are fine, lace-like strange magic patterns on it. With the stimulation of the magic pattern, the white stockings became visibly clean and dry, and the previous faint odor also dissipated. Is it a magic pattern similar to the cleansing technique? Xia En was thoughtful. A bit ashamed to say, he inexplicably remembered the situation when these silk stockings were worn on Joey, so by some strange coincidence, he did not throw them away, but put them into the space ring. Subsequently, Shane came to the deck, gathered the crew, and then spoke. We have to go back to [Ice and Snow Island] first. Everyone, cheer up and get ready, there may be a tough battle next! Since the village chief Ruel dares to plot against us, he must pay the price for it! Due to Sean''s growing prestige, the crew members responded without any objection. Yes, Captain! at the same time. ??Above the seemingly quiet and cold sea. A huge but dilapidated three-masted sailboat is hiding behind an iceberg. ?This ship is several times larger than the Black Swan. The towering sides of the ship are like towering mountains, and the masts reach into the sky. Facing it is like facing a mountain that is difficult to climb! However, this large and majestic ship now appears dilapidated and far from the elegance of its heyday. Its surface is scarred. The ship''s hull is covered with large and small cracks, and the frightening gaps left behind after something directly "gnawed" a piece off can be seen everywhere on the ship''s side. ?There is also a horrific "wound" that extends directly from the bow to the stern, almost splitting the entire ship in two. ? And the broken masts and sails could only barely play their role and move forward in accordance with the sea breeze. It can be said that the fact that this sailing ship can still sail on the sea is a miracle in itself! ??On the broken deck, Ruel, the village chief of the Ice Island Village, acted as the captain, commanding the villagers to move in an orderly manner. Lower the sail a little further, yes, at this height! Are the ships guns ready? Lookout hand, please report to me any situation! ?Beside Ruhl, Gray still had some worry on his face and asked. Old man, do we really want to attack that [Black Swan]? Just this broken ship? Ruer glanced at him with a vulture-like gaze: "How do I usually teach you?" Either you dont do something or you never do it! Since we have all deceived the ship into the sea area where [Emerald Ancient City] is located, the plan has been half successful. Besides, dont underestimate this ship. Ruhr looked at the mast beside him and said with emotion. Ever since my grandfathers time, this ship has looked like it could capsize at any time, but to this day, it can still sail smoothly on the sea. The only problem is that it cannot carry out a long-distance voyage, otherwise we would not have to seize the [Black Swan]. ??Gray also had a flash of surprise in his eyes. In fact, this big ship is the secret weapon of their village. It is rarely used on weekdays, and even he has only seen it a few times. ??Ruhl continued. According to my grandfather, in a more distant era, this ship was built to avoid the disaster of the great flood, and it was also called Noahs Ark. Hearing this, Gray''s face was even more shocked and he asked. Speaking of which, I still dont know the name of this ship? Its called...[Diamond Star]! ??Just when Ruel was introducing the origin of this big ship to Gray, the lookout on the mast suddenly exclaimed. There is a ship approaching from the northeast! Coming! Hearing this, Ruhr immediately looked to the northeast, a cruel cold light flashing in his eyes. But when he saw the ship on the sea clearly, he couldn''t help but be stunned. There is no other reason. This does not seem to be the [Black Swan] he saw before! ??The ship is significantly larger and has higher sides. ?Silver white and icy blue lines are looming on the surface of the hull, and the dots of starlight complement them. On the dark hull, it looks like a river of stars flowing in the night sky! ??Moreover, there are strange structures that resemble skeletons in some areas of the hull. ??For example, the collision angle of the ship''s bow, the place where the sides of the ship''s side meet the deck. ?This pale skeleton does not look like an inlaid decoration, but like an existence growing from the depths of the ship''s hull! A faint coercion escaped from the hull, causing the creatures in the sea to tremble and instinctively stay away from the ship. ?Looking at this scene, village chief Ruels eyelids couldnt help but twitch. What the **** is this [Black Swan]!? He really couldn''t understand how this ship had undergone such a transformation after not seeing it for two or three days. Normally speaking, shouldnt this ship become in tatters when it is besieged by the magic-patterned sea beasts in [Emerald Ancient City]? No matter how bad it is, it should leave a few scars, right? Old man! That ship... ??Gray quickly noticed the [Black Swan] at this time, couldn''t help but swallowed his saliva, and asked difficultly. What to do now? To be honest, Ruhr panicked in his heart. After all, this situation is really weird. How can a ship grow in size after just one trip to sea? ?He originally wanted to use the sea beasts of the [Emerald Ancient City] to weaken the combat power of the [Black Swan]. But now, instead of weakening, the opponent has become stronger! ?So this naval battle should be fought or not? Ruhr, who has always been scheming, suddenly felt like he was riding a tiger with a hard time getting off. ??However, just when the villagers of Ice and Snow Island were wondering what to do, the [Black Swan] not far away had noticed this huge ship. ??Amidst the high-pitched whistle, the [Black Swan] became faster and faster, breaking through the waves and cutting through the air. Like a giant beast from the deep sea, it rushed towards Ruhr and the others. It found us! It hit!! ?These indigenous villagers living on the Ice and Snow Island had never seen such a shocking sight. Their faces changed and they exclaimed in shock. ??Gray also turned pale and quickly turned his attention to his father. ?As the head of a village, Ruel finally showed a calmness that surpassed that of ordinary villagers and shouted loudly. Quiet! Dont be afraid, the captain may not know that we want to ambush them! "As long as we don''t show hostility, they won''t dare to take the lead..." Boom! ??A low shelling sound suddenly sounded, interrupting Ruhr''s words. A cannonball drew a graceful arc in mid-air and slammed into the iceberg next to the Diamond Star. ??The iceberg suddenly collapsed, releasing large chunks of ice that rolled down the mountain. ?Although the crew on the ship was not killed, it once again caused a panic. Damn it, they didnt even think about communicating! ?Looking at the approaching [Black Swan], Ruhr''s face was as gloomy as water. ?He did not expect that the seemingly gentle and handsome captain would be so ruthless and decisive once he took action, leaving no room for turning. ?At this time, Ruhr also felt a trace of regret in his heart. But now its obviously too late to regret it. Fuck, Ill fight you! Ruhr shouted angrily: "Gunner, fire for me! Let me sink that ship!" ?The gunner who heard the order did not hesitate, immediately lit the fuse and started shelling. ??The artillery system on this ship looks ancient and outdated, but in fact it is extremely powerful. The shells they load even have certain automatic tracking and calibration functions, so that ordinary villagers can also use them. Boom! The smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and the shells of unknown material exploded out under the push of gunpowder, carrying a powerful momentum and heading straight towards the location of the [Black Swan]. ??However, at this moment, the ship, which was no longer considered small, suddenly shook in full view of everyone. ??It drew an "S" shaped trajectory on the sea without slowing down at all, dodging several cannonballs falling in mid-air like a ghost. Ruhls eyelids jumped at the sight. ??Is this a dodge action that a ship can do? Furthermore, after approaching the Diamond Star, the charging momentum of the Black Swan became increasingly fierce. It seems like there is an invisible barrier wrapped around it, blocking all impacts. ?In the eyes of the villagers, the pattern of the boat hull gradually became distorted and weird, causing great fear to emerge unconsciously in their hearts. Holy Lord, what on earth is that ship? Just as some villagers became increasingly frightened. Ruhr suddenly let out an angry roar. O flame, give me strength! Before he finished speaking, countless fine and broken dark lines suddenly appeared on his body. His skin turned bright red and his body temperature continued to rise. ?However, this symptom is different from the situation during "spontaneous combustion". It is more like the power deep in his blood being stimulated. Immediately afterwards, the old man''s body became taller, his skin cracked along the lines, and a dark red flame ignited. His head has sharp horns and fangs sprout from the corners of his mouth. Even a red, skinless tail grew out of his back. Such an image only reminds people of a legendary creature ??The Balrog! (End of this chapter) Chapter 166 Harvest the loot [Diamond Star] (incomplete) Chapter 166 Harvesting the Trophies[Diamond Star] (Incomplete) At the same time as Ruel transformed into a Balrog. Other villagers on the boat also began to have red and black lines on their bodies, and flames emerged from them, flowing out like water. In an instant. They went from seemingly normal ordinary people to like demons from hell! ?The fact that these villagers can survive in the extremely harsh environment of [Ice and Snow Island] is not due to luck. In their bodies, there is a special blood flowing, which is also the source of their strength. ?It is with the help of this bloodline that the villagers of Ice and Snow Island can fight against the huge and ferocious sea beasts here. As for the existence they call "Holy Lord", its full name is "Holy Lord of Hellfire". His true form is a real Balrog! At this time, faced with [Black Swan]s all-out offensive, Ruhr and others had no choice but to use their bottom card in a desperate attempt to fight to the death. I have to say. ?Judging from their appearance and momentum alone, the dozens of "Balrogs" on this deck are quite intimidating. The deflagration flames emitted high temperatures, causing the air to twist slightly. ??Scarlet eyes, red and black lines, and sharp horns growing from the top of their heads... make them look extremely ferocious and terrifying. The auras of many villagers continue to rise, exceeding the strength of ordinary second-level secret pathers. Among them, the most powerful one is naturally the village chief Ruel. He has the highest degree of atavism, and the energy level of the secret power in his body has even reached the third level! But thats about it. The [Black Swan] has been approaching the [Diamond Star] at an extremely fast speed. This distance can be easily crossed by ordinary secret travelers. Boom! With the explosion of the steam core, a petite figure jumped up from the deck of the [Black Swan] and suddenly fell in front of the villagers. This is the girl dressed as a man who walked into the village earlier. ?The exquisite facial features and unique temperament left a deep impression on the villagers. To be honest, among the people who entered the village, her beauty was the most coveted. It''s just that the appearance of "she" at this time is very different from before. ??On Fei Ya''s fists, there were two huge steam gloves. ?White steam spurts out from this weird and precise steel creation, roaring and roaring like a beast, full of rough and violent beauty. ?The golden-red radiance flowed through Feiya''s eyes, looking majestic and sacred. These "fire demon" villagers did not even dare to look at him. ??Appearing with Fei Ya, there is also a tall knight rising into the air. Even through the armor, the villagers could feel the sharp, hawk-like gaze cast down from high places. Its like...they are completely treated as prey! Just the appearance of these two crew members caused the morale of the villagers, which had finally been raised, to weaken again. But its not over yet! ?At this time, a melodious and beautiful song suddenly came from the sea. ?This song sounds far and near, with magical and mysterious power. ?Mingled with the gentle sound of waves, it seems to be echoing directly in my mind. The villagers felt that the surrounding air was gradually becoming humid, and the power of the sea was rolling in the air. ?This kind of singing may not have much impact in normal times. But for them who are currently burning, it is equivalent to a group debuff, which immediately makes them feel uncomfortable and their strength is greatly restricted. Someone looked towards the deck of the Black Swan and soon saw... ?This singing voice comes from the girl with white hair and red eyes, which makes people instinctively feel a little ominous. Dont forget, after Joey is promoted to the second level, he also gets a hidden profession singer! What she used at this time was the ability exclusive to this secret profession. Seeing the crew members appearing one after another, Ruel on the deck was shocked and angry. To be honest, he thought that the three people that Xia En brought to the island were just useless vases, but now he realized that they all had special skills and were not ordinary people. ??Shocked and angry, Ruhr''s movements did not stop at all. He took a deep breath. Scorching hot power surges through the body like magma. Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth wide, and a huge fireball burst out, directly hitting the nearest Feiya on the deck. The terrifying lavender flames spread in all directions with the fireball as the center. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to a radius of three meters, trying to swallow Fei Ya inside. But the next moment. A figure as tall as a pine tree suddenly appeared in front of the fireball, and punched out without flinching! ?Seeing this scene, Ruhr was not surprised but overjoyed. ?The fireballs he spits out are not ordinary flames, but contain the gift of the great flame demon [Holy Lord of Hell Fire]. ?Although nothing can be ignited like the flames that caused them to burn themselves to death, if ordinary creatures are contaminated, it will spread to the whole body in an instant. ?Even the soul can be burned! ?The other party dared to touch his own flame so recklessly, and he was undoubtedly seeking death. Boom! At this moment, a terrible strong wind swept violently. ??The huge, lavender fireball was broken like a fragile balloon, and the scattered flames were blown away by the strong wind, roaring and escaping in all directions. Sha Ens figure emerged from it. ?However, there was indeed some flame left on his arm. ?But before Ruel could show his joy, something unbelievable happened. I saw that Xia En''s body surface suddenly lit up with dark red lines. ?The chaotic lines are like a big mouth, quickly tearing apart the remaining purple flames, chewing and swallowing them. It only takes a moment. ?The flames completely disappeared, and the dark red magic lines became deeper and darker, as if they were breathing. Ruhl even saw greed and unfulfilled emotions in the changes in these lines. As if to say Its not enough, I want more! How is it possible? ??Ruel''s red eyes widened, and he sensed a familiar aura from those magic patterns. The smell of embers...Why do you have the power of [Fire Stealer]? Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised. ??This village chief, who is suspected to be a descendant of the Balrog, can actually recognize the [Secret Power of Ember]? Furthermore, [Fire Stealer] again? ?Of course, what made Xia En even more curious was actually this specious and dilapidated [Diamond Star]. ?But he was still in the middle of the battle, so naturally Xia En would not be distracted and think too much, but just strode straight towards Ruhr. After the hull was upgraded again, its attributes once again experienced a surge. Especially the [Sturdiness] attribute corresponding to Defense and Physique. An invisible force was flowing under the skin. Even without the existence of [Chaos Demon Pattern], Ruhl''s flames would be extremely difficult to break through his defense. As soon as he entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, Ruhr immediately felt a mountain of terrifying pressure. Even after being transformed into a Balrog, the village chief''s size and strength have increased dramatically. But in the face of Xia En''s overall quality of 1.75, he is like a child who has not yet grown up, facing a strong and strong man. Nearly every time he was attacked, Ruhr felt a dull pain in his muscles and even the bones under his skin. ?Every time he attacked, it was like hitting a hard iron pillar, which made him almost vomit blood. What is this guys body made of? Why is it so hard? The more the battle, the more frightened Ruhr became. Not only the physical quality, but also the fire of the Balrog, which he had placed great hope in, could not cause the slightest harm to Xia En. Even more, the more they fight, the clearer the dark red lines on this man''s body become, as if he is constantly drawing strength from his body. Ruhl also noticed that ?Until now, the opponent has not attacked with all his strength, but has hidden some means to suppress the situation, waiting for him to take the lead. While the two were entangled. Feiya, An, and Joey are all using their own methods to eliminate the resisting villagers on the boat. In fact, before the Black Swan approaches, Shane can use the ship''s artillery to carry out a devastating blow to them. The main reason why I didnt do this was still the [Diamond Star]! ?Although it was very different from the ghost ship that Xia En knew, since he happened to meet it, Xia En naturally regarded it as his trophy. ??It couldn''t bear to use artillery fire to leave new scars on its already scarred body. Then they chose to use a boarding battle to end the battle. To be fair. ??The ice and snow island villagers are not weak in strength. ??The blessing of the power of the Balrog and the fierce folk customs have made them the top of the island''s food chain. ?But the problem is that this ice and snow island is really too remote and too backward. Not to mention the most advanced steam technology used by Feiya, even An''s precious armor from ancient times was far beyond their understanding. Not to mention the different secret abilities of Joey and others. ??If you are a pirate on the Seven Seas, even if you have not seen this unique ability in person, you have at least heard of similar skills and legends, and you may know some ways to deal with it. ??And these villagers are truly indigenous, and they have been isolated from the outside world for decades. Even the weapons in his hands, made by the best craftsmen in the village, are just ordinary swords. What can they use against Fei Ya and others? At this time, the battle between them and the people of [Black Swan] felt quite like the era of cold weapons and the era of hot weapons. Less than five minutes. The villagers suffered a large number of casualties. After seeing Gray being captured by Feiya, the village chief Ruel finally sighed and gave up the resistance. It didnt take long. ??The remaining seven or eight villagers were all tightly **** with ropes that had forbidden demonic qualities. ??And the first thing Xia En asked was not why Ruer wanted to harm him, nor the origin of the flame demon''s bloodline, but... What is this ship called? Where did it come from? Ruer was slightly startled. ?In his opinion, the [Black Swan] is far more powerful than this broken ship. Why are you so concerned about it? But as a prisoner, he could only answer honestly. This is a ship passed down from our ancestors, named [Diamond Star]. It is said that my grandfathers grandfather found this in an iceberg floating on the sea. Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. He indeed did not admit his mistake. This ship is the Diamond Star! But the question is, how come there are two ships with the same name and almost the same appearance? ??Moreover, the [Diamond Star] he saw before was a real ghost ship. ??As for the current ship, although the hull is a little bigger, the sides are a little higher, and the guns are a little more powerful, from all angles, it can only be called "ordinary". ??There is no shocking feeling at all when we first met him. By the way, the ship spirit Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind. He touched the mast next to him and used the talent of [Communication with Ship Soul], secretly thinking in his heart. Senior? "Are you there?" Do you recognize me? ?Its a pity that all these probing inquiries seemed to be lost in the sea and did not receive any response. Then, Xia En asked in the bottom of his heart. Xiao Hei, have you sensed the soul of this ship? No. There was also some confusion in Xiao Hei''s voice: [Although this ship is very similar to Sister Xingchen, it seems to be a little different, like...an empty shell? Xiao Heis idea coincides with Xia Ens. ?In his perception, this ship does not simply have no ship soul, but even the budding and sleeping consciousness does not exist. The inside is like a piece of pure white paper, not stained with any color. Wait, empty shell Xia En was thoughtful. He suddenly remembered why this situation seemed familiar to him. During the promotion ritual, he had actually encountered such a ship more than once. Thats it Above the [Secret Sea], the [Black Swan] was projected and copied! Almost the same appearance, an empty shell without a soul...Dont all these pieces of information correspond to each other? Why do such projection ships appear in this world? Why did [Diamond Star] become a ghost ship? The questions in Xia En''s mind not only did not decrease, but became more and more. ?At this moment, Joeys surprised voice came from the cabin. Mr. Captain, come and see! ?While subduing these prisoners, Shane also asked Joey and Feiya to explore the depths of the Diamond Star. ?Now, it seems that Joey has discovered something. ??Shaan first walked up to Ruel and knocked the old man unconscious. Then he asked An to guard the deck while he followed the direction of the sound and walked deeper into the cabin. As soon as he stepped down the two-story cabin, he discovered that the structure here was not quite right. The surrounding cabins and corridors are extremely spacious, and the gaps between the walls are surprisingly large. Looking at the room next to me, the wooden boards were very thin and the floor was distorted to a certain extent. It feels like... During the process of copying and pasting, some information was lost, resulting in biased results. ?The internal structure of the entire hull has an indescribable awkwardness that makes people instinctively uncomfortable. Not long. ?Shaan met Fei Ya in the cabin who also heard Joey''s voice. The inside of this ship is very strange Fei Ya murmured: "It doesn''t look like a normally manufactured ship." ?Shaan nodded: "I think so too." Speaking of which, do you feel that there seems to be a special secret power here? Fei Ya looked thoughtful: "Yes, there is a point, and the deeper you go, the stronger this secret power becomes." The two looked at each other, quickened their pace, and walked deeper into the dark cabin. ??Going down a sloping, downward staircase, they reached the place where Joey made the sound, and couldn''t help but feel their breath hitch. ?Here, a kind of dark and clear sea water is accumulating at the bottom of the cabin. ?Little bits of faint starlight shine from the depths of the sea, showing a starry sky-like temperament. ?Shane will never admit his mistake. This is The sea water from the [Secret Sea]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 169 As we enter history! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) Chapter 169 When we enter history! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) In the Elf Temple. ?Xia En opened his eyes and woke up leisurely. But the scene in front of him shocked him greatly. I saw that the surrounding seawater disappeared without knowing when, and the dilapidated hall became completely new. ?The walls are as smooth as a mirror, with no signs of damage or scratches. ?Those murals also exude a unique smell, as if they had just been painted. ??The goddess statue in the center of the hall is quiet and gentle, with natural vitality. Even though it is just a stone statue, the power of divinity is still demonstrated here. Just looking at her makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze. The bright sunshine shines down from outside the hall, and the breeze brings the fresh smell of vegetation. ?In the distance, there was a faint sound of play like silver bells. "here it is?" ?Xia En only felt a splitting headache, and many questions emerged in his mind. ?Just a second ago, he was exploring the Elf Temple under the [Cold Sea] with Yan Yan and Cui Qian. How come he came to a specious hall in a blink of an eye? Moreover, I clearly didnt do anything before, so why did [the moment of time] suddenly run into my hand and activate on its own? ?Thinking of this, Xia En immediately lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand. The silver pocket watch lay there quietly, the hands motionless, and nothing unusual could be seen. Why did this pocket watch... stop? Xia En was confused: "This doesn''t look like the effect of using it, does it?" [The moment of time] is a trophy he captured from the king of [Coral City]. Theoretically, it has no connection with the elves. Compared with these questions, Xia En is more concerned about his current state. He looked down at his hands and found that the skin on his arms was dull and uncertain, not real flesh and blood. This shows that this body is still a projection body. ??The problem is that on ordinary days, Xia En can end the [submersible] state with just a thought, and can temporarily return to the main body. But now He has lost the ability to return at any time, and even the connection with his true body has become extremely weak. I can only feel that my body is located in a very far away place. Not only that, the power of the ship soul on the panel is also fixed at [98/100] and has not decayed over time. Mostly it will only be deducted after injury. ?There is one more thing worth mentioning, that is, the space ring that could not be used during [Deep Sea Diving] in the past can actually be used this time! What is going on in this situation? ?Just as Xia En was analyzing his situation, Yan Yan''s confused voice came from the side. Where is this? By the way! Where is the fire on my body? ?At this time, Yan Yan realized belatedly that the flame that had been entangled with him for hundreds of years was actually extinguished! ?But soon, as his mood became agitated, a few more wisps of fire came out of his body. Yan Yan quickly reached out to press it, and it took a lot of effort to extinguish it. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was also stunned. Yan Yan also followed him to this strange place? I feel so dizzy...What just happened? Wait, this, this breath! ??The exquisite and petite Tracy flapped her wings and flew up. At first, her eyes widened in surprise, and she observed the surrounding environment. Suddenly, as if he smelled some unique smell, he couldn''t help but fly out of the hall. Tracey? Tracey! Xia En called the goblin twice, but received no response, so he had to quickly follow him with Yan Yan. ?Although he and Tracy have not known each other for long, after all, they may have been implicated because of themselves. In this strange and unfamiliar environment, they cannot leave each other alone. ?Before walking out of the temple, Xia En suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn''t help but look back at the statue. On the blurred face of the goddess statue, there is a mysterious smile, which seems to be somewhat meaningful. As soon as they stepped out of the temple gate, Xia En and Yan Yan were stunned. A hazy and refreshing light illuminated everything in front of them. Those elegant spire houses full of elven style seem to be bathed in the glow. The vines hanging between the houses and the trees growing in the open space also look lush and green in the light. ?Looking up, I saw a huge tree standing not far from the temple. ?This is really an exaggeratedly huge tree, dozens of times larger than the [Crimson Ancient Tree] that Xia En has seen before. The huge tree crown blocks out the sky and the sun, and the rough trunks reach into the sky. What is even more surprising is that, above, there is a faint ring built around the tree trunk. The ring looks like a city! Even though Xia En has experienced so many things and has seen a lot, when he saw this scene, he still couldn''t help but feel a huge wave in his heart. ?Where did this giant tree come from? What about Lengliehai? ?What about those cold sea waters and icebergs? How can such a large sea disappear just by saying it disappears? Or is it that he was transported to another space quietly? ?Shaans mind was filled with thoughts. at this time. Tracy looked at the giant tree and cried loudly. The mother tree is up there, I didnt expect that I could see you again This little goblin has been guarding the "Emerald Holy City" alone for hundreds of years and has always been very strong. ?At this moment, I was crying very sadly and sadly, as if I wanted to cry out all the grievances I had suffered over the years. ?Shaan was stunned for a moment, and extracted a very important piece of information from Tracey''s words. ?This giant tree is Tracys mother tree ?And Tracy is a fairy from the City of Spirits... ?So this giant tree is the sacred tree of the elves? ?Doesnt this mean that they are actually still in the [Emerald Holy City] now? Before Xia En could continue to think deeply, there was a rustling sound in the woods not far away. Obviously, someone was attracted by Tracys cry. Xia En immediately pulled Yan Yan and hid in a corner. Yan Yan asked in a low voice with some confusion: "Captain Xia En, what are we hiding from?" ?Xia En looked at himself and then at the other person, the answer was clear at a glance. Xia Ens appearance is now blurry, like a ghost. ??The granulations on Yan Yan''s body are constantly growing through the charred muscles, and the blood scabs are cracking and regenerating, which looks very scary. ?With the image of the two of them, its good if they dont scare most people! ??Suddenly appearing in a place like the Elf Temple, you will definitely be regarded as a suspicious person! ?While thinking this, Xia En took out two black robes from his space ring, one was put on himself, and the other was put on by Yan Yan. ?Although it still looks suspicious, it''s not that scary at least. As for Tracey, she was originally a serious elf, wandering around the elf temple, and there would be no suspicion. at the same time. ??A slender figure walked out of the woods. ?That was a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. ??She has a breathtaking beauty, with a garland of small white flowers on her head. Her skirt is simple and white, without any patterns or embellishments, but it still brings out the fresh charm of the girl. She is so beautiful, with her platinum-blond waist-length hair hanging naturally, shining in the light, reminiscent of the cool moonlight at night. Even someone like Xia En, who is used to seeing beautiful girls, held his breath for a moment. ?In terms of looks alone, this girl is even better than Joey. But the strange thing is ?This girl gave Xia En an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, as if she had seen her before somewhere. What is even more impossible to ignore is that the girls ears are pointed and her pupils are natural emerald green, like the finest emerald. This is exactly the characteristic of the legendary elves! Honestly, this is the first time that Xia En has seen a living elf with his own eyes! Although An is also an elf, he has always been wearing armor. Not to mention what he looks like, Xia En can''t confirm whether he is a boy or a girl. ?It is rare to see a living elf with a face like this! ?However, Xia En didnt dare to stare at the other person for too long. Slightly more powerful secret pathers are very sensitive to aura, and they may be able to detect it with their eyes. Soon, the elf girl walked up to Tracy and asked something. But the language coming out of her mouth was completely incomprehensible to Xia En. I can only hear that the voice and intonation of the words are very nice, like the sound of a clear spring, and they also have an indescribable sense of dignity. ?Xia En frowned and thought of a possibility. Is this...elvish? But why was she not affected by the [Aphasia] curse? Could it be that At this time, Xia En had a guess in his mind, but this guess was so exaggerated that he could not believe it. And the other side. ?After wiping away her tears, Tracy was at a loss when faced with the elf girl''s inquiry. She also couldn''t figure out why the mother tree that had obviously disappeared appeared again. ??Moreover, a living elf appeared in front of me? More importantly. She clearly felt that the girl''s words were very friendly and familiar, but she couldn''t remember the meaning of each word! The elf girl quickly realized this. After thinking for a moment, the girl waved to Tracy and motioned for her to follow her. ? Tracey is naturally close to elves, but she is not really a stupid girl. She knows that the place she is in is definitely not normal. She first looked back at the direction of Xia En and the two of them, and then silently followed the beautiful elf girl. A little phosphorescent secret power left behind her as her wings flapped. Not long after they left. Xia En and Yan Yan came out of their hiding place and quickly followed the traces of this secret power. In this unfamiliar environment where you are unfamiliar with your life, you must first find someone to ask about the situation. Not long. ?Through a forest that was not very dense, the elf girl took Tracy to a small wooden house not far from the trunk of the giant tree. The elf girl made gestures and said: "You wait here, I will get something. (Elven language Tracey probably understood what she meant and nodded hurriedly. ??The elf girl moved very quickly. In just two or three minutes, she came out of the cabin and said with a smile in the common language of the mainland. Can you understand what Im saying now? Tracey nodded and said, "Okay! This sister..." Before she finished speaking, she saw the elf girl shouting to the woods behind her: "You two, do you want to hide anymore?" Xia En and Yan Yan looked at each other and had no choice but to walk out of the woods. As soon as they met, Xia En apologized directly. Im sorry, miss, we dont mean to offend, we just came to this area unexpectedly and wanted to find someone to ask about the situation. "Um?" The elf girl touched her chin: "Then tell me, what do you want to ask?" Hearing this, Xia En raised his head and asked seriously: "Miss, what year is it now?" The elf girl was very surprised, but she still answered truthfully. Of course its the year 1672 of the Elven Calendar. There are too many kingdoms on your continent. If I use a country I know to count, it should be... Year 103 of the Turin Calendar? ifier Xia Ens scalp suddenly became numb and his face turned pale. Even though he had expected it, he was still shocked. ?Shaan doesnt know much about the Elven calendar or the Turin calendar, but one thing is certain, these are both calendars before the great flood! The current common calendar in the Seven Seas is the Federation Calendar! In other words, this is at least a thousand years away from the era he lived in! ??Didnt he just enter the Elven Temple, how could he come to a thousand years ago for no reason? Wait, maybe its not for nothing. ?Shaan thought of the silver pocket watch. Its most important characteristic is that it contains the power of time and space! Perhaps, it is because this power resonates with a certain existence in the Elf Temple that this phenomenon of traveling through time and space occurs. ?Of course, the current situation may not necessarily be traveling through time and space. It is also possible that this is just an afterimage of a period of history, a dream-like bubble. But in the perception of [blood power], the fresh breath of the elf girl and the feeling that was difficult to connect with the real body made Xia En gradually give up the luck in his heart. Normally. Once the [Projected Body] dies, Xia Ens consciousness will return to its original form. But in this chaotic time and space, can his consciousness really return smoothly? ?Xia En didnt dare to bet his life on illusory luck. ?On the other hand, he brought Yan Yan and Cui Qian here, should he just leave them alone? Hearing what the elf girl said, both Yan Yan and Cui Qian had expressions of shock and confusion on their faces. We...returned to the past? Entered history? ??Xia En at least has the concept of "travel" in his mind, but he can barely accept it. Yanyan and Yan Yan had never imagined such a thing. They were shocked and couldn''t recover for a while. The elf girl asked curiously: "What are you talking about? What goes back to the past? What enters history..." ??Xia En''s face changed slightly. He didn''t think it was a good thing to let people of this era know their origins, so he quickly interrupted. My name is Xia En, and he is Yan Yan. Whats your name, please? ??The elf girl answered straightforwardly: "My name is Laila, just call me Laila. Miss or something like that is also what you call me in the southern continent, right?" Xia En was stunned again. ?Leila the elf? ??Isn''t this the owner of that weird magic notebook? Is there such a coincidence in the world? At this moment, a sound like silver bells came from not far away, and several elves were chirping towards this side. (End of this chapter) Chapter 170 Lyra [Emerald Isle] and [Black Sails] Chapter 170 Lyra [Emerald Island] and [Black Sails] ?Seeing this group of elves approaching, Yan Yan and Cui Xi were both at a loss. They haven''t recovered from the news that they have returned to the past, and they don''t know how to deal with these strange elves. ?Xia En took a deep breath and prepared himself. ?However, if you take a closer look, there are quite a few differences between the images of these elves and Laila. The clothes they wear are quite gorgeous, and they are obviously made by excellent craftsmen, and are generally decorated with turquoise leaves that are reminiscent of nature. In addition, they all wear various jewelry, which adds a bit of unique nobility. Its not that these elves are not good-looking. Compared with Laila, it seems much more complicated and tacky, without that kind of clear beauty. As soon as they saw Xia En and Yan Yan in black robes, the elves immediately stopped talking and stared at the two people warily. ?One of the tall, straight-backed male elves asked in congratulations. Hey, who are you two? (Elvish) ?Seeing his expression and movements, Xia En certainly knew that he was asking about his identity. But the language barrier is indeed a big problem! ?Especially the "foreign language" like Elvish, which has been lost in the era where Xia En lived, and it is impossible to learn it even if you want to. ??Shaan was about to use gestures and movements to explain a little, but he heard Laila next to him respond in that elegant tone. Cade, they are my friends. (Elvish) "friend?" Hearing this, Cade''s tone became even worse and he mocked. Oh, I see, they are the crew members of the Black Sails, right? No wonder you cant understand what we say. "Being friends with that kind of pirate is something only you, Laila, can do!" ??Not just him, the other elves also looked at Laila with disgust and disgust. ?This disgust does not come from Xia En and the other two, but seems to have been buried in his heart for a long time. ?In response to this, Laila''s expression did not waver and she just said. Are you done, this is my territory, what do you want to do if you break in without permission? Now, get out of here! When she said the last half of the sentence, the beautiful girl''s eyes widened and her tone was cold. Hearing this, Cade''s expression changed slightly, but perhaps it was the youthful arrogance unique to young people, or perhaps he was dissatisfied with Laila''s attitude. ?Not only did he not retreat, but he said coldly. We wont leave, what can you do to me? As he spoke, Cade took a step forward. You are a sinners daughter. I really dont know why Her Majesty the Queen is so tolerant to you! ??Although the other elves were a little surprised by Cade''s aggressive attitude, they felt that he was right, so they looked at Laila with the same hatred. Some elves had a faint secret power escaping from them, trying to intimidate each other. At this time, even if Xia En couldn''t understand the Elvish language, he could tell that these elves had an unfriendly attitude. ??Then he looked at Laila with questioning eyes. ?Laila gritted her teeth and spoke directly in Common Language. You two, help me drive them out! ?Yan Yan and Cui Qian were stunned again. ?But Xia En did not hesitate, lightly stepped his legs on the ground, and rushed towards these elves like a cannonball. He knew very well in his heart that no matter what conflicts there were between these elves and Laila, he suddenly came to this strange place and he had to find someone to understand the situation. At the moment, Laila speaks Common and has a gentle attitude. ?If you dont help her, how about helping these elves who have malicious intentions at first glance? ?Furthermore, in Xia En''s perception, the strength of these elves are generally at the second or third level, so they do not pose much of a threat. ??Shaan''s move made everyone, including Cade and the others, as well as Laila, look surprised. the reason is simple. His speed is really too fast! ?In Cade''s eyes, this suspicious-looking man in black robes seemed to have turned into a phantom, right in front of him. ?However, Cade himself is also a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, so he is not completely powerless to fight back. ??In his pupils, the emerald-colored light jumped like a heartbeat. Immediately, a layer of emerald-colored force field-like things spread out with him as the center. You pirate, you still dare to attack me! I must teach you a lesson today...(Elvish) ???? Before Cade finished speaking, Xia En''s fist had already landed on the emerald-colored force field. ??Cade had a look of ridicule in his eyes. ??This is indeed a stupid human being who dares to directly touch his own secret technique with his body! But the next moment. ??Cade''s expression suddenly changed. Because the expected situation of the opponent being shocked away by the secret technique did not happen. On the contrary, it was the emerald-colored force field that showed countless fine cracks just after touching it. With a "click", the barrier protecting Cade shattered. In his widened eyes, a pair of big hands grabbed his waist. Then, he suddenly threw it forward! ?The overwhelming force swept over him, as if he was hit head-on by a large ship. Before Cade had time to react, he flew backwards, at least dozens of meters, and finally hit a big tree heavily. ?Smoke and dust were everywhere along the way, the tree trunks were trembling, and many leaves fell down. Huhu ?? Breathing rapidly, his throat was filled with the smell of blood, and Cade felt that his eyesight was dimming. How can this guys strength be so terrifying? Is he also a third-level secret path user? However, if eight of us fight against each other, can we still lose? The advantage is mine! ??The other elves were secretly frightened, but they also directly attacked Xia En. Some elves took out arrows and short spears and attacked from a long distance. ?That bow and arrow has a faint glow and is blessed with secret power, which is enough to easily kill ordinary second-level mystical practitioners. Some elves directly speak wonderful words, creating magical effects like "speaking spirits". It can either temporarily immobilize you, add BUFF to friendly forces, or activate the plants around you to attack. Obviously, this is what is special about the language [Elvish]. It can directly call and communicate secret power, but normal human mages have to use complex spells, magic circles, etc. to do this. In the same way, [Dragon Language] also has similar characteristics. ?Judging from the visual effects alone, the elves are actually very magical and gorgeous when they perform their secret arts. ??Various negative auras fell on Xia En as if they were asking for money. ?There are also dazzling spells, such as wind blades and thunders, attacking from all angles. ?However, these methods have no effect on Xia En. ?After being bound to the incomplete [Diamond Star], his attributes in all aspects soared to extremely terrifying levels. Let alone an ordinary third-level mystic, even if he is a fourth-level one, he still has the confidence to give it a try! Ordinary spells cannot hit Xia En, who is moving at high speed. ?Even if they hit, they can''t break the defense. On the other hand, Xia En can easily break through the elves'' defensive spells with a random punch or kick. You can''t hit, you can''t break your defense, you can''t dodge! Against these elves, Xia En was like a hexagonal warrior, crushing them in all directions and leaving them unable to find any loopholes. And this is actually the result of Xia En''s keeping his hand. ??If he really wanted to kill, these elves wouldn''t be enough for him to kill in one minute. It didnt take long. ?Shaan casually grabbed an arrow that was shot towards him, threw it on the ground, and walked slowly towards the last elven archer not far away. You are definitely not human! (Elvish) ??This elf girl was trembling all over, but she still asked: "You, who are you!?" Why do you want to help Laila? ??Xia En didn''t understand what she was talking about, but he just picked up the elf like a chicken, and then threw it into the woods far away. Not far away, their low screams of pain could be vaguely heard. At this time, most of Cade and others were bruised and swollen, very embarrassed, and lacked the previous gorgeousness and elegance. But after such a fight, the elves had a clear understanding of Xia En''s strength. They only dared to look at him with anger and fear, and then walked away in despair. So youre so good at fighting! Behind Xia En, Laila walked over briskly and said with admiration in surprise. Are you really a crew member of the Black Sails? [Black Sails]? ?Xia En was startled when he heard this name. He has never heard of the [Black Sails], but he has heard of a [Black Sails Fleet]! ?That was the information that Xia En got from the room of the "Beheading Gramophone" when he first encountered the "Ember Treasure". ?The owner of the forbidden relic is called Augustine Norwich. He is a legendary pirate, the master of the Black Sail Fleet, and the king of the maritime principality! But now, how can this [Black Sail] be connected with the elves? Hmm? Dont you know [Black Sails]? ?Laila seemed to see Xia En''s doubts and asked in surprise: "On the mainland, the name [Black Sails] is still very famous, right?" ?Shaan asked: "No, I''m just curious about what the relationship between [Black Sail] and you elves is." You dont even know this? ?Laila was even more surprised: "Did we take the [Black Sails] to come to this island?" Xia En became more and more puzzled: "Island? Is this an island?" Yes, this island is called [Emerald Island], and we just moved to this island not long ago. It seemed like Shane didnt understand anything, so Laila had to tell the whole story from the beginning. It turns out that the elves on this [Emerald Island] are not all the elves. To be precise, they are just a branch of the elves. ?For some reason, Her Majesty the Queen of their clan migrated to this [Emerald Island] with the entire clan and even the Elf Mother Tree, and built a city here. The way they migrate is to take the Black Sail and its **** ship. At this time, although the [Black Sail Pirates Group] has not grown to the point where it can be called a "fleet", it also has several auxiliary ships. ?Of course, the number of elves is not large, enough for the [Black Sails] and its fleet to transport them several times before they all migrated to the [Emerald Island]. And this time when the [Black Sails] docked, it was transporting the last batch of elves. After listening to Laila''s words, Shane had a general understanding of the situation and asked curiously. Doesnt that mean that the entire migration process took several years? After all, every shipment requires at least several months of sailing, right? ?Laila responded as expected: "Yes." Calculating the time, it should be ten years in total? Ten years Xia En was secretly surprised: "Isn''t this time too long?" In his impression, dont ethnic migrations all go together? How can it be divided into batches? To this, Laila widened her eyes in confusion: "Ten years is not a long time, right?" ?Xia Ens mouth twitched, and then he suddenly realized Elves are immortal species! ? ? What is a long time for humans is just a blink of an eye for them. Suddenly, Xia En remembered something again. He looked up at the ring surrounding the mother tree and asked. What about the city on the ring? Oh, you said that. ?Laila explained casually: "The city on the ring is called [Upper City]." The people living in the city are the indigenous people of this island, the immigrants who came to this island with us, and some elves who are mixed with humans. Because Her Majesty the Queen was worried that humans and elves would mix together, more and more half-elves would be born, and fewer and fewer pure-blood elves would be born, so a space was opened on the mother tree for them to live. Xia En nodded suddenly. Ahso thats it. ?Now, he completely understands why, thousands of years later, the [Emerald City] under the cold sea has a hierarchical layout. From the beginning, these were two different cities. After the great flood, the Elf Mother Tree disappeared, and only then did the situation that Xia En saw later appear. Wait, so you are not a resident of the upper city? ?Laila also reacted and became more curious about the identity of the two people and the elf. At this time, Tracey on the side asked curiously: "Sister Laila, didn''t you just speak common language?" Why did you suddenly learn it after entering the house? institutions. ?Laila had a proud smile on her lips and puffed up her chest confidently: "It''s very simple, because... I am a genius!" "ah?" Let alone Yan Yan, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. Why, dont you believe it? ?Laila suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you just beat up Cade and the others, maybe someone will come over and cause trouble for you." It will be troublesome if you dont understand Elvish. Come with me. ?Speaking, Laila took Xia En and the others into the cabin. ?This room is filled with all kinds of books and drawings. Some of the papers have many complicated magic circles and formulas drawn on them, as well as bottles and jars of various sizes and alchemy instruments. ?Shane even saw a small, shabby brass steam engine. ?These debris were piled up like a hill, without even a place to stand. ?It''s very much like a mad scientist''s laboratory. Soon, Laila got into the pile of debris and started rummaging through it. (End of this chapter) Chapter 169 As we enter history! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) Chapter 169 When we enter history! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) In the Elf Temple. ?Xia En opened his eyes and woke up leisurely. But the scene in front of him shocked him greatly. I saw that the surrounding seawater disappeared without knowing when, and the dilapidated hall became completely new. ?The walls are as smooth as a mirror, with no signs of damage or scratches. ?Those murals also exude a unique smell, as if they had just been painted. ??The goddess statue in the center of the hall is quiet and gentle, with natural vitality. Even though it is just a stone statue, the power of divinity is still demonstrated here. Just looking at her makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze. The bright sunshine shines down from outside the hall, and the breeze brings the fresh smell of vegetation. ?In the distance, there was a faint sound of play like silver bells. "here it is?" ?Xia En only felt a splitting headache, and many questions emerged in his mind. ?Just a second ago, he was exploring the Elf Temple under the [Cold Sea] with Yan Yan and Cui Qian. How come he came to a specious hall in a blink of an eye? Moreover, I clearly didnt do anything before, so why did [the moment of time] suddenly run into my hand and activate on its own? ?Thinking of this, Xia En immediately lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand. The silver pocket watch lay there quietly, the hands motionless, and nothing unusual could be seen. Why did this pocket watch... stop? Xia En was confused: "This doesn''t look like the effect of using it, does it?" Instant Timeis a trophy he captured from the king of Coral City. Theoretically, it has no connection with the elves. Compared with these questions, Xia En is more concerned about his current state. He looked down at his hands and found that the skin on his arms was dull and uncertain, not real flesh and blood. This shows that this body is still a projection body. The problem is that on ordinary days, Xia En can end the [submersible] state with just a thought, and can temporarily return to the main body. But now He has lost the ability to return at any time, and even his connection with his true body has become extremely weak. I can only feel that my body is located in a very far away place. Not only that, the power of the ship soul on the panel is also fixed at [98/100] and has not decayed over time. Most likely it will only be deducted after injury. ?There is one more thing worth mentioning, that is, the space ring that could not be used during [Deep Sea Diving] in the past can actually be used this time! What is going on in this situation? ?Just as Xia En was analyzing his situation, Yan Yan''s confused voice came from the side. Where is this? By the way! Where is the fire on my body? ?At this time, Yan Yan realized belatedly that the flame that had been entangled with him for hundreds of years was actually extinguished! ?But soon, as his mood became agitated, a few more wisps of fire came out of his body. Yan Yan quickly reached out to press it, and it took a lot of effort to extinguish it. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was also stunned. Yan Yan also followed him to this strange place? I feel so dizzy...What just happened? Wait, this, this breath! ??The exquisite and petite Tracy flapped her wings and flew up. At first, her eyes widened in surprise, and she observed the surrounding environment. Suddenly, as if he smelled some unique smell, he couldn''t help but fly out of the hall. Tracey? Tracey! Xia En called the goblin twice, but received no response, so he had to quickly follow him with Yan Yan. ?Although he and Tracy have not known each other for long, after all, they may have been implicated because of themselves. In this strange and unfamiliar environment, they cannot leave each other alone. ?Before walking out of the temple, Xia En suddenly felt something in his heart and couldn''t help but look back at the statue. On the blurred face of the goddess statue, there is a mysterious smile, which seems to be somewhat meaningful. As soon as they stepped out of the temple gate, Xia En and Yan Yan were stunned. A hazy and refreshing light illuminated everything in front of them. Those elegant spire houses full of elven style seem to be bathed in the glow. The vines hanging between the houses and the trees growing in the open space also look lush and green in the light. ?Looking up, I saw a huge tree standing not far from the temple. ?This is really an exaggeratedly huge tree, dozens of times larger than the [Crimson Ancient Tree] that Xia En has seen before. The huge tree crown blocks out the sky and the sun, and the rough trunks reach into the sky. What is even more surprising is that, above, there is a faint ring built around the tree trunk. The ring looks like a city! Even though Xia En has experienced so many things and has seen a lot, when he saw this scene, he still couldn''t help but feel a huge wave in his heart. ?Where did this giant tree come from? What about Lengliehai? ?What about those cold sea waters and icebergs? How can such a large sea disappear just by saying it disappears? Or, was he transported to another space quietly? ?Shaans mind was filled with thoughts. At this time. Tracy looked at the giant tree and cried loudly. The mother tree is up there, I didnt expect that I could see you again This little goblin has been guarding the "Emerald Holy City" alone for hundreds of years and has always been very strong. ?At this moment, I was crying very sadly and sadly, as if I wanted to cry out all the grievances I had suffered over the years. ?Shaan was stunned for a moment, and extracted a very important piece of information from Tracey''s words. ?This giant tree is Tracys mother tree ?And Tracy is a fairy from the City of Spirits... ?So this giant tree is the sacred tree of the elves? ?Doesnt this mean that they are actually still in the [Emerald Holy City] now? Before Xia En could continue to think deeply, there was a rustling sound in the woods not far away. Obviously, someone was attracted by Tracys cry. Xia En immediately pulled Yan Yan and hid in a corner. Yan Yan asked in a low voice with some confusion: "Captain Xia En, what are we hiding from?" ?Xia En looked at himself and then at the other person, the answer was clear at a glance. Xia Ens appearance is now blurry, like a ghost. ??The granulations on Yan Yan''s body are constantly growing through the charred muscles, and the blood scabs are cracking and regenerating, which looks very scary. ?With the image of the two of them, its good if they dont scare most people! ??Suddenly appearing in a place like the Elf Temple, you will definitely be regarded as a suspicious person! ?While thinking this, Xia En took out two black robes from his space ring, one was put on himself, and the other was put on by Yan Yan. ?Although it still looks suspicious, it''s not that scary at least. As for Tracey, she was originally a serious elf, wandering around the elf temple, and there would be no suspicion. at the same time. ??A slender figure walked out of the woods. ?That was a girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. She has a breathtaking beauty, with a garland of small white flowers on her head. Her skirt is simple and white, without any patterns or embellishments, but it still brings out the fresh charm of the girl. She is so beautiful, with her platinum-blond waist-length hair hanging naturally, shining in the light, reminiscent of the cool moonlight at night. Even someone like Xia En, who is used to seeing beautiful girls, held his breath for a moment. ?In terms of looks alone, this girl is even better than Joey. But the strange thing is ?This girl gave Xia En an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, as if she had seen her before somewhere. What is even more impossible to ignore is that the girls ears are pointed and her pupils are natural emerald green, like the finest emerald. This is exactly the characteristic of the legendary elves! Honestly, this is the first time that Xia En has seen a living elf with his own eyes! Although An is also an elf, he has always been wearing armor. Not to mention what he looks like, Xia En can''t confirm whether he is a boy or a girl. ?It is rare to see a living elf with a face like this! ?However, Xia En didnt dare to stare at the other person for too long. Slightly more powerful secret pathers are very sensitive to aura, and they may be able to detect it with their eyes. Soon, the elf girl walked up to Tracy and asked something. But the language coming out of her mouth was completely incomprehensible to Xia En. I can only hear that the voice and intonation of the words are very nice, like the sound of a clear spring, and they also have an indescribable sense of dignity. ?Xia En frowned and thought of a possibility. Is this...elvish? But why was she not affected by the [Aphasia] curse? Could it be that At this time, Xia En had a guess in his mind, but this guess was so exaggerated that he could not believe it. And the other side. ?After wiping away her tears, Tracy was at a loss when faced with the elf girl''s inquiry. She also couldn''t figure out why the mother tree that had obviously disappeared appeared again. ??Moreover, a living elf appeared in front of me? More importantly. She clearly felt that the girl''s words were very friendly and familiar, but she couldn''t remember the meaning of each word! The elf girl quickly realized this. After thinking for a moment, the girl waved to Tracy and motioned for her to follow her. ? Tracey is naturally close to elves, but she is not really a stupid girl. She knows that the place she is in is definitely not normal. She first looked back at the direction of Xia En and the two of them, and then silently followed the beautiful elf girl. A little phosphorescent secret power left behind her as her wings flapped. Not long after they left. Xia En and Yan Yan came out of their hiding place and quickly followed the traces of this secret power. In this unfamiliar environment where you are unfamiliar with your life, you must first find someone to ask about the situation. Not long. ?Through a forest that was not very dense, the elf girl took Tracy to a small wooden house not far from the trunk of the giant tree. The elf girl made gestures and said: "You wait here, I will get something. (Elven language Tracey probably understood what she meant and nodded hurriedly. ??The elf girl moved very quickly. In just two or three minutes, she came out of the cabin and said with a smile in the common language of the mainland. Can you understand what Im saying now? Tracey nodded and said, "Okay! This sister..." Before she finished speaking, she saw the elf girl shouting to the woods behind her: "You two, do you want to hide anymore?" Xia En and Yan Yan looked at each other and had no choice but to walk out of the woods. As soon as they met, Xia En apologized directly. Im sorry, miss, we dont mean to offend, we just came to this area unexpectedly and wanted to find someone to ask about the situation. "Um?" The elf girl touched her chin: "Then tell me, what do you want to ask?" Hearing this, Xia En raised his head and asked seriously: "Miss, what year is it now?" The elf girl was very surprised, but she still answered truthfully. Of course its the year 1672 of the Elven Calendar. There are too many kingdoms on your continent. If you use a country I know to count, it should be... Year 103 of the Turin Calendar? ifier Xia Ens scalp suddenly became numb and his face turned pale. Even though he had expected it, he was still shocked. ?Shaan doesnt know much about the Elven calendar or the Turin calendar, but one thing is certain, these are both calendars before the great flood! The current common calendar in the Seven Seas is the Federation Calendar! In other words, this is at least a thousand years away from the era he lived in! ??Didnt he just enter the Elven Temple, how could he come to a thousand years ago for no reason? Wait, maybe its not for nothing. ?Shaan thought of the silver pocket watch. Its most important characteristic is that it contains the power of time and space! Perhaps, it is because this power resonates with a certain existence in the Elven Temple that this phenomenon of traveling through time and space occurs. ?Of course, the current situation may not necessarily be traveling through time and space. It is also possible that this is just an afterimage of a period of history, a dream-like bubble. But in the perception of [blood power], the fresh breath of the elf girl and the feeling that was difficult to connect with the true body made Xia En gradually give up the luck in his heart. Normally speaking. Once the [Projected Body] dies, Xia Ens consciousness will return to its original form. But in this chaotic time and space, can his consciousness really return smoothly? ?Xia En didnt dare to bet his life on illusory luck. ?On the other hand, he brought Yan Yan and Cui Qian here, should he just leave them alone? Hearing what the elf girl said, both Yan Yan and Cui Qian had expressions of shock and confusion on their faces. We...returned to the past? Entered history? ??Xia En at least has the concept of "time travel" in his mind, but he can barely accept it. Yan and Yan had never imagined such a thing. They were shocked and couldn''t recover for a while. The elf girl asked curiously: "What are you talking about? What goes back to the past? What enters history..." ??Xia En''s face changed slightly. He didn''t think it was a good thing to let people of this era know their origins, so he quickly interrupted. My name is Xia En, and he is Yan Yan. What is your name, please? The elf girl answered straightforwardly: "My name is Laila, just call me Laila. Miss or something like that is also what you call me in the southern continent, right?" Xia En was stunned again. ?Leila the elf? ??Isn''t this the owner of that weird magic notebook? Is there such a coincidence in the world? At this moment, there was a sound of play like silver bells not far away, and several elves were chirping towards this side. (End of this chapter) Chapter 170 Lyra [Emerald Isle] and [Black Sails] Chapter 170 Lyra [Emerald Island] and [Black Sails] ?Seeing this group of elves approaching, Yan Yan and Cui Qian were a little at a loss. They haven''t recovered from the news that they have returned to the past, and they don''t know how to deal with these strange elves. ?Xia En took a deep breath and prepared himself. ?However, if you take a closer look, there are quite a few differences between the images of these elves and Laila. The clothes they wear are quite gorgeous, and they are obviously made by excellent craftsmen at first glance, and are generally decorated with turquoise leaves that are reminiscent of nature. In addition, they all wear various jewelry, which adds a bit of unique nobility. Its not that these elves are not good-looking. Compared with Laila, it seems a lot more complicated and tacky, without that kind of clear beauty. As soon as they saw Xia En and Yan Yan in black robes, the elves immediately stopped talking and stared at the two people warily. ?One of the tall, straight-backed male elves asked in congratulations. Hey, who are you two? (Elvish) ?Seeing his expression and movements, Xia En certainly knew that he was asking about his identity. But the language barrier is indeed a big problem! ?Especially the "foreign language" like Elvish, which has been lost in the era where Xia En lived, and it is impossible to learn it even if you want to. ??Shaan was about to use gestures and movements to explain a little, but he heard Laila next to him respond in that elegant tone. Cade, they are my friends. (Elvish) "friend?" Hearing this, Cade''s tone became even worse and he mocked. Oh, I see, they are the crew members of the Black Sails, right? No wonder you cant understand what we say. "Being friends with that kind of pirate is something only you, Laila, can do!" ??Not just him, the other elves also looked at Laila with disgust and disgust. ?This disgust does not come from Xia En and the two of them, but seems to have been buried in his heart for a long time. ?In response to this, Laila''s expression did not waver and she just said. Are you done, this is my territory, what do you want to do if you break in without permission? Now, get out of here! When she said the last half of the sentence, the beautiful girl''s eyes widened and her tone was cold. Hearing this, Cade''s expression changed slightly, but perhaps it was the youthful arrogance unique to young people, or perhaps he was dissatisfied with Laila''s attitude. ?Not only did he not retreat, he even said coldly. We wont leave, what can you do to me? As he spoke, Cade took a step forward. You are a sinners daughter. I really dont know why Her Majesty the Queen is so tolerant to you! ??Although the other elves were a little surprised by Cade''s aggressive attitude, they felt that he was right, so they looked at Laila with the same hatred. Some elves had a faint secret power escaping from them, trying to intimidate each other. At this time, even if Xia En couldn''t understand the Elvish language, he could tell that these elves had an unfriendly attitude. ??Then he looked at Laila with questioning eyes. ?Laila gritted her teeth and spoke directly in Common Language. You two, help me drive them out! ?Yan Yan and Cui Qian were stunned again. ?But Xia En did not hesitate, lightly stepped his legs on the ground, and rushed towards these elves like a cannonball. He knew very well in his heart that no matter what conflicts there were between these elves and Laila, he suddenly came to this strange place and he had to find someone to understand the situation. ?At the moment, Laila speaks Common and has a gentle attitude. ?If you dont help her, how about helping these elves who have malicious intentions at first glance? ?Furthermore, in Xia En''s perception, the strength of these elves are generally at the second or third level, so they do not pose much of a threat. ??Shaan''s move made everyone, including Cade and the others, as well as Laila, look surprised. The reason is simple. His speed is really too fast! ?In Cade''s eyes, this suspicious-looking man in black robes seemed to have turned into a phantom, right in front of him. ?However, Cade himself is also a third-level Mystic Pathfinder, so he is not completely powerless to fight back. ??In his pupils, the emerald-colored light jumped like a heartbeat. Immediately, a layer of emerald-colored force field-like things spread out with him as the center. You pirate, you still dare to attack me! I must teach you a lesson today...(Elvish) ???? Before Cade finished speaking, Xia En''s fist had already landed on the emerald-colored force field. ??Cade had a look of ridicule in his eyes. ??This is indeed a stupid human being who dares to directly touch his own secret technique with his body! But the next moment. ??Cade''s expression suddenly changed. Because the expected situation of the opponent being shocked away by the secret technique did not happen. On the contrary, it was the emerald-colored force field, and countless fine cracks appeared just after it was touched. With a "click", the barrier protecting Cade shattered. In his widened eyes, a pair of big hands grabbed his waist. Then, he suddenly threw it forward! ?The overwhelming force swept over him, as if he was hit head-on by a large ship. Before Cade had time to react, he flew backwards, at least dozens of meters, and finally hit a big tree heavily. ?Smoke and dust were everywhere along the way, the tree trunks were trembling, and many leaves fell down. Huhu ?? Breathing rapidly, his throat was filled with the smell of blood, and Cade felt that his eyesight was dimming. How can this guys strength be so terrifying?

In the same way, [Dragon Language] also has similar characteristics. ?Judging from the visual effects alone, the elves are actually very magical and gorgeous when they perform their secret arts. ??Various negative auras fell on Xia En as if they were asking for money. ?There are also dazzling spells, such as wind blades and thunders, attacking from all angles. ?However, these methods have no effect on Xia En. ?After being bound to the incomplete [Diamond Star], his attributes in all aspects soared to extremely terrifying levels. Let alone an ordinary third-level mystic, even if he is a fourth-level one, he still has the confidence to give it a try! Ordinary spells cannot hit Xia En, who is moving at high speed. Even if they hit, they can''t break the defense. On the other hand, Xia En can easily break through the elves'' defensive spells with a random punch or kick. You cant hit, you cant break your defense, and you cant dodge! Against these elves, Xia En was like a hexagonal warrior, crushing them in all directions and leaving them unable to find any loopholes. And this is actually the result of Xia En''s keeping his hand. ??If he really wanted to kill, these elves wouldn''t be enough for him to kill in one minute.

(Elvish) ??This elf girl was trembling all over, but she still asked: "You, who are you!?" Why do you want to help Laila? ??Xia En didnt understand what she was talking about, but he just picked up the elf like a chicken, and then threw it into the woods far away. Not far away, their low screams of pain could be vaguely heard. At this time, most of Cade and others were bruised and swollen, very embarrassed, and lacked the previous gorgeousness and elegance. But after such a fight, the elves had a clear understanding of Xia En''s strength. They only dared to look at him with anger and fear, and then walked away in despair. So you are so good at fighting! Behind Xia En, Laila walked over briskly and said with admiration in surprise. Are you really a crew member of the Black Sails? [Black Sails]? ?Xia En was startled when he heard this name. He has never heard of the [Black Sails], but he has heard of a [Black Sails Fleet]! ?That was the information that Xia En got from the room of the "Beheading Gramophone" when he first encountered the "Ember Treasure". ?The owner of the forbidden relic is called Augustine Norwich. He is a legendary pirate, the master of the Black Sail Fleet, and the king of the maritime principality! But now, how can this [Black Sail] be connected with the elves? Hmm? Dont you know [Black Sails]? ?Laila seemed to see Xia En''s doubts and asked in surprise: "On the mainland, the name [Black Sails] is still very famous, right?" ?Shaan asked: "No, I''m just curious about what the relationship between [Black Sail] and you elves is." You dont even know this? ?Laila was even more surprised: "Did we come to this island on the Black Sails?" Xia En became more and more puzzled: "Island? Is this an island?" Yes, this island is called [Emerald Island], and we just moved to this island not long ago. It seemed like Shane didnt understand anything, so Laila had to tell the whole story from the beginning. It turns out that the elves on this [Emerald Island] are not all the elves. To be precise, they are just a branch of the elves. ?For some reason, Her Majesty the Queen of their clan migrated to this [Emerald Island] with the entire clan and even the Elf Mother Tree, and built a city here. The way they migrate is to take the Black Sail and its **** ship. At this time, although the [Black Sail Pirates Group] has not grown to the point where it can be called a "fleet", it also has several auxiliary ships. ?Of course, the number of elves is not large, enough for the [Black Sails] and its fleet to transport them several times before they all migrated to the [Emerald Island]. And this time when the [Black Sails] docked, it was transporting the last batch of elves. After listening to Laila''s words, Shane had a general understanding of the situation and asked curiously. Doesnt that mean that the entire migration process took several years? After all, every shipment requires at least several months of sailing, right? ?Laila responded as expected: "Yes." Calculating the time, it should be ten years in total? Ten years Xia En was secretly surprised: "Isn''t this time too long?" In his impression, dont ethnic migrations all go together? How can it be divided into batches? ?At this point, Laila widened her eyes in confusion: "Ten years is not a long time, right?" ?Xia Ens mouth twitched, and then he suddenly realized Elves are immortal species! ? ? What is a long time for humans is just a blink of an eye for them. Suddenly, Xia En remembered something again. He looked up at the ring surrounding the mother tree and asked. What about the city on the ring? Oh, you said that. ?Laila explained casually: "The city on the ring is called [Upper City]." The people living in the city are the indigenous people of this island, the immigrants who came to this island with us, and some elves who are mixed with humans. Because Her Majesty the Queen was worried that humans and elves would mix together, more and more half-elves would be born, and fewer and fewer pure-blood elves would be born, so a space was opened on the mother tree for them to live. Xia En nodded suddenly. Ahso thats it. ?Now, he completely understands why, thousands of years later, the [Emerald City] under the cold sea has a hierarchical layout. From the beginning, these were two different cities. After the great flood, the Elf Mother Tree disappeared, and only then did the situation that Xia En saw later appear. Wait, so you are not a resident of the upper city? ?Laila also reacted and became more curious about the identity of the two people and one goblin. At this time, Tracey on the side asked curiously: "Sister Laila, didn''t you just speak common language?" Why did you suddenly learn it after entering the house? institutions. ?Laila had a proud smile on her lips and puffed up her chest confidently: "It''s very simple, because... I am a genius!" "ah?" Let alone Yan Yan, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. Why, dont you believe it? ?Laila suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you just beat up Cade and the others, maybe someone will come over and cause trouble for you." It will be troublesome if you dont understand Elvish. Come with me. ?Speaking, Laila took Xia En and the others into the cabin. ??This room is filled with all kinds of books and drawings. Some of the papers have many complicated magic circles and formulas drawn on them, as well as bottles and jars of various sizes and alchemy instruments. ?Shane even saw a small, shabby brass steam engine. ?These debris were piled up like a hill, without even a place to stand. ?It''s very much like a mad scientist''s laboratory. Soon, Laila got into the pile of debris and started rummaging through it. (End of this chapter) Chapter 171 【Pirate King Augustin Norwich】! (Please vote for me! Please subscribe!) Chapter 171 [Pirate KingAugustine Norwich]! (Please vote for me! Please subscribe!) ??While Shane was patiently waiting for Laila to rummage through the clutter. Suddenly I heard a "dong" sound. ? It was as if Laila''s movement was a little too big, causing the already unstable pile of debris to completely lose its balance. Several books and drawings fell from high places, almost burying Laila''s whole body underneath. ?When the dust settled, Xia En looked at it intently and was speechless. I saw this elf girl who claimed to be a genius. Half of her body was stuck in the pile of debris. She couldn''t get out or get in. Fortunately, the skirt she wore was relatively long, so she wasn''t exposed. Helphelphelp Pull... pull me up! ?Soon, Laila''s muffled voice came from the debris pile, and a hint of shame and anger could be heard vaguely. ?Shaan: ??Although this situation is very similar to a scene that would appear in some kind of short movie, is now the time to consider that kind of thing? ??Xia En had no choice but to quickly grab Laila''s waist and pull her out like a carrot. Ugh! It hurts so much, you should be gentler! ?After Laila was pulled out, she held her chest with tears in her eyes and glared at Xia En in aggrieved manner. It was only then that Xia En noticed that Laila''s body was slender, but the mountains in front of her were very impressive. Obviously, when he pulled her out just now, he rubbed some soft part. ?Seeing Laila''s expression, Xia En was a little absent-minded. This is not because of her beauty. Instead ?Until just now, Xia En still lacked a sense of reality about going back to the past. But after the brief contact with Laila''s body, the warm touch from her palms, and her lively and natural expression, Xia En suddenly realized Though in the future, Leila will only become a name in history. But at least now, she is a living, flesh-and-blood girl! Not just her, but also the elves in this forest and city. It is obviously not a wise move to treat them as cold afterimages of the past. The other side. ??Laila also realized that she was a little embarrassed and embarrassed just now, her face turned slightly red, and she didn''t forget to explain. Geniuses are always different from ordinary people! After speaking, Laila took out three emerald green seeds and handed them to Xia En and others. "This is called [Sound Seed]. It is a special alchemical product that can have different effects depending on the materials and manufacturing process." Eat it, and you will understand and master Elvish. ?Xia En glanced at Tracy thoughtfully. ?Of course he has not forgotten the [Seed of Haiyin] that Tracy gave him earlier. It is precisely because of that seed that he has the ability to [convers underwater]. ?However, looking at Tracy''s expression, she still seemed confused, as if she didn''t realize anything. At this time, Xia En vaguely discovered that although Tracy had been guarding the [Emerald Holy City] for hundreds of years, she didnt know the reason for the demise of the elves? What''s going on? ?Strange as it may be, Xia En still took the green [Sound Seed] and swallowed it. Soon, the mysterious power spread in his throat, which also made his mind clear for a while. Acquisition Skill: Elvish Language (Proficient) (Temporary) "temporary?" Xia En''s heart moved, and he was a little concerned about this suffix. On the sidelines, Tracy asked belatedly: "Sister Laila, was this [Sound Seed]... created by you?" Thats right. ?Laila puffed out her chest and said quite proudly: "Who makes me a genius?" ?Yan Yan and Cui Qian both murmured with admiration. So awesome Xia En was not surprised by this. Laila''s Magic Notesis a "golden legend" quality item. ?Although there are weird magic spells such as "turning the land into a flower field" and "acute enteritis spell", there are also many practical spells. ?And Laila, who was able to leave this note, is not a genius, so what is she? ?Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly woke up. ?He remembered that [Laila''s Magic Notes] seemed to contain the forbidden spell of traveling through time and space! Do they have to rely on this forbidden technique if they want to go back to the future? Obviously, Shane cannot stay here forever. The [Black Swan] and its crew are all waiting on the [Cold Sea] in the future! The power of time and space has always been the most chaotic and difficult to fathom. ?No one knows what changes will happen to "now" when Xia En stays in the past. So, both emotionally and logically, Xia En should find a way to go back as soon as possible. ?So, Xia En asked Laila carefully. Miss Leila, do you have a notebook recording all kinds of magic? Magic Notes? ?Laila glanced at him strangely: "Why do I need that thing? Can''t I just keep it in my mind?" ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized the problem. ?At this point in time, Laila probably hasnt started collecting all kinds of strange magic yet! Not to mention, Xia Ens forbidden time and space technique. ??Xia En was helpless, but also felt a little anxious in his heart. He really cant think of any way to leave. He cant really wait until the [Ship Soul Power] is consumed to 0, right? At this time. ?Laila frowned and her pointed ears moved, as if she was listening to something. Soon, a flash of surprise flashed across her expression: "The law enforcement team is here!?" "As for Cade and those guys, didn''t I just beat them up!" ?Laila looked at Xia En and the others again, quickly made up her mind, and began to chant the mysterious spell. Immediately afterwards, an emerald green magic circle gradually appeared under their feet, and the secret power of the space continued to surge. The next moment. ?The emerald green light flashed past, and the figures of several people disappeared. By the time a group of elves wearing emerald green armor entered the wooden house, there was no one there. Seeing this, the leading law enforcement captain shook his head helplessly: "Laila, this kid is too naughty." Another team member asked curiously: "Captain, what should we do now?" What else can be done? I can only wait until the next time we meet to teach her a lesson. The law enforcement captain sighed: "Who made Her Majesty the Queen love her so much?" at the same time. As the light dissipated, Xia En and others arrived at a strange building. ??A fresh air with a hint of salty smell appeared, and the cool wind blew Xia En''s hair head-on. ??He vaguely heard the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the noise of the crowd. Looking forward, Xia En couldn''t help but was stunned. Ahead of us, beneath us, was a vast expanse of sea. The sea breeze is gentle and the waves are rolling. The pale golden sunlight fills the sea surface, and the distant horizon is connected to the sky without distinguishing each other. From this height, you can even see a few sporadic islands in the distance. To be honest, this is the first time that Xia En has climbed up to observe the sea, and he feels the magnificence of this scene even more. ?But at the same time, Xia En also felt a little indescribable intimacy. He is a captain after all. Although the Black Swan is not here, seeing the sea always gives him an inexplicable sense of peace of mind. At this time, Xia En also quickly realized where he was - The [Upper City] above the giant elf tree! It is also the [Emerald Ancient City] that was buried by volcanic ash in later generations! Phew! Its so dangerous Beside her, Laila patted her chest: "I was almost caught by the law enforcement team." Yan Yan asked curiously: "Law enforcement team?" What will happen if they catch you? ??Laila confessed: "It''s okay if I get caught, but you are not elves, so you might have to suffer a lot." Yan Yan is an honest person. Hearing this, he couldn''t help but feel a little guilty. Then helping us escape, will it implicate you? ?Laila looked at this two-and-a-half-meter tall man in surprise, as if it was the first time she had seen such an honest and kind-hearted person, and then said. As long as I dont get caught, wouldnt it be fine? Besides, its okay even if you get caught. Tracy was a little curious: "Why?" ?Laila chuckled and said: "It''s very simple, the current Queen is my aunt!" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. ??He originally thought that Laila was dressed in simple clothes, while Cade and his party were dressed in very luxurious and luxurious clothes, and he thought that the other party was a noble child. In the end, Laila is the real "second generation emperor!" But after thinking about it, Xia En felt a little strange. ??Since Laila has a status similar to that of an "elf princess", why do those elves dare to be so rude to her? Xia En was curious, but looking at Laila''s expression, she didn''t seem to want to explain more, so she had no choice but to stop asking. Look! Suddenly, Laila pointed towards the sea below: "That ship is the [Black Sails] I mentioned before!" ?Xia En looked along her slender fingers. ?At the island port, several huge sailing ships are docked there, and many pirates are like ants going up and down the ship and the port, carrying batches of goods. ??The biggest feature of these ships is the sails without any patterns but dyed black! ?The largest ship among them is located in the guard of other ships. Its image may seem ordinary, but it has a unique and fierce temperament inexplicably. ?The rhythm of the sea water beating against the hull is like its breathing, and the swaying of the sails in the wind is like its swaying tail. Its as if this is not a ship, but a sleeping dark beast that may wake up from a dream at any time! Xia En is no stranger to this feeling. Because his [Black Swan] is such a "living" ship! Is this [Black Sails]? Xia En said with emotion: "What a good ship!" Yan Yan looked at the ships under the ring and couldn''t help but be surprised: "Captain Xia En, that ship with black sails looks like your ship! They both look so majestic!" As soon as he heard this, Xia En knew it was not good. He turned to look at Laila, and immediately met the girl''s curious and inquiring eyes. Captain Shane? So you are still a captain? Are you really from the [Black Sail Fleet]? ??The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn''t help but glare at Yan Yan. ?This is too honest, and sometimes it may not be an advantage. ?Shaen thought for a moment, and when he was about to answer, he heard an uproar coming from below. ?He and Laila looked down together and saw ?The sea surface, which was calm and peaceful just now, suddenly became restless, and a stronger wave surged up from the bottom of the sea. ?There is also a vague black shadow, looming in the deep water. The pirates and elves at the port suddenly fell into panic. Some people fell down due to the shaking of the ground, some tried to escape in a hurry, and some took advantage of the chaos to do bad things... In the dense crowd, a series of exclamations continued, and there were even a lot of casualties. ??If Xia En and others were in the port, they might not be able to see so clearly. But now in the [Upper City], he could have a panoramic view of the situation below, and it was natural to see that the situation at the port had become a mess. What happened? Yan Yan asked in confusion: "What is the black shadow under the sea?" ?Laila could still maintain her composure and analyzed: "It''s probably a sea monster from the bottom of the sea that is invading the port." This is not the first time this has happened. Dont worry, the **** team from [Emerald Island] will be dispatched soon Boom! ! Before Laila could finish her words, she heard an earth-shattering roar. Amid the shocked gazes of everyone, a terrifying aura, centered on the Black Sail, roared in all directions like a storm. ??And everyone enveloped by this aura had their bodies involuntarily stagnated, unable to even move. ?The undulating waves and the dark shadows under the sea also fell into a state of stillness. ?This is not like a force directed at the human body, but a stillness to the entire space! Immediately, an extremely tall and strong figure floated on the [Black Sail]. Him can be seen faintly. ?His appearance is calm and intimidating, with a medium-long black beard on his chin. ?His upper body was only covered with a white coat, and his chest was open, exposing his naked muscles covered with large and small scars to the air. The moment he saw this man, Xia En remembered the old captain who was pushed to the guillotine through that weird barcarolle. Although his appearance has changed a lot due to aging, they all carry a soaring heroic spirit! The next moment. ??The captain extended his palm toward the sea. ?The seawater automatically parted to both sides, and a big ugly fish was suspended above the sea. ?This big fish is really ugly, with a bumpy surface as if its covered in some kind of growth. ?There are also weird gray-white patterns spreading randomly along the fins on both sides, and countless bone spurs grow out of the flesh. Like a creature from the deep sea! Its not that the big fish doesnt want to struggle, but it tried its best and could only move its pale and empty eyeballs, unable to break free from the constraints of this space. Its so ugly. ?After the captain made this comment, he gently waved his hand and made a false move. simultaneously! ?This deep-sea monster fish, together with the space in which it is located, was divided into two! A downpour of blood rained down from the sea, and the body of the strange fish fell onto the harbor, making a large hole. ?Blood gurgled out and accumulated in the pit to form a pool of blood. ?At this time, the previously agitated crowd regained their ability to move. They all looked at the figure floating in mid-air with awe, and fell into an eerie silence, as if waiting for his order. The power of one person can actually reach this level! ?Xia En stared at the captain, feeling filled with emotions. After this attack, he is 100% sure that ?The other person is one of the most outstanding and amazing people of this era. ?The future pirate king, Augustine Norwich! Just, at this moment. Augustine on the Black Sails was looking far up high. It seems to have caught Xia Ens eyes! (End of this chapter) Chapter 172 The magic that turns the land into a field of flowers Chapter 172 The magic that turns the land into a flower field ? ? Sensing Augustine''s gaze, Xia En''s hair stood up instantly, and he felt a strong sense of crisis. Its like the feeling of fear that a person feels when he suddenly encounters a wild beast while being unarmed. ?But by some strange coincidence, Sean did not avoid Augustine''s gaze, but looked at him from afar. These two people who were not supposed to meet, now saw each other hundreds of meters apart. ?At this glance, its like crossing an era! At this moment, Xia En was sure that the other party was watching him. ?There was a bit of curiosity and surprise in those deep gray eyes, but there was no hostility. ?But soon, Augustine looked away and returned to his [Black Sails] thoughtfully. ??The still young pirate king murmured to himself while stroking the mast of the Black Sail as if petting a cat. Is that the person who peeked at you just now? He is indeed an extraordinary boy. Huh? You said his temperament is a bit similar to mine? I didnt see that..." The cables beside the mast of the Black Sails swayed again, like the tail of a big cat swaying randomly. Lets not talk about the reaction of Augustine and [Black Sails]. At the edge of the [Upper City] on the ring, Laila''s eyes widened slightly and she said in surprise: "Just now, did the captain look at us?" Yan Yan nodded quickly: "Yes! I saw it too!" His eyes are so scary. Sean didnt know why Augustine noticed him, and said casually: Maybe its just a coincidence. He asked again: "Speaking of which, Laila, why did you bring us to this city?" Oh, by the way, I almost forgot! Hearing this, Laila suddenly remembered something important: "Today is the day of the exhibition! Come with me!" Before she finished speaking, Laila hurriedly ran towards the center of the city. Seeing this, Xia En and the others had no choice but to follow. Along the way, Xia En also saw that this [upper city] was different from the elven city below. ?Although the buildings here are not so refined and elegant, they are obviously influenced by the elven style and look quite beautiful. ?However, from the perspective of Xia En, a latecomer, the style of these houses is obviously a bit "retro", more primitive than [Coral City]. This may mean that they are in an era earlier than the establishment of the Kingdom of Southon. The residents in the city include humans and half-elves, and occasionally one or two pure-blood elves can be seen. What surprised Shane was that they basically talked in Elvish. ?When they saw Laila arriving, many people took the initiative to say hello to her. Good day, Miss Leila! Little Laila, have you come to play in [Upper City] again? Be careful, dont fall! Laila waved in response to this, with a warm smile on her face. Uncle Nok, Sister Laura! Oh? You ask them two? They are my friends and they are coming to [Uptown] with me to visit the exhibition! It can be seen that unlike being ostracized among the elves, Laila''s popularity in the [Upper City] is quite good. So that the residents did not ask where the two suspicious men in black robes, Xia En and Yan Yan, came from. Generally speaking, this city is very lively, with civilians living and working in peace and contentment, and people can see the vitality and vitality at a glance. It is precisely because of this. Xia En''s mood became more and more complicated. He couldn''t help but think of the city submerged in volcanic ash, and the human figures struggling in the ashes. ??If the fate of this city has been determined, is the beautiful scene in front of us just a fantasy? Xia En is determined to do something. ?But when I thought about it carefully, I found that I couldnt do anything. Are we going to tell the people in this city that this place will be buried in volcanic ash in a few hundred years? If you say something without proof, others wont believe it at all, okay? Furthermore, the more critical point is ?According to the timeline he deduced, the great flood will come first before being buried by volcanic ash! ?Even the elves may be destroyed before the great flood comes. The first ones to suffer were not the [Upper City], but the elves in the [Lower City]! Last point. ??It''s also a guess hidden in Xia En''s heart. ?Although he seems to have arrived in past history, is it possible that everything he did was a historical necessity? In other words, it is the conclusion of the timeline. In other words, his actions can only change some things on a small scale, but cannot change established history. Or, because of the so-called "butterfly effect", causing greater consequences? ?However, this is just Xia En''s guess after all, and he is destined to not get the answer. ?Just as thoughts were swirling in Shane''s mind, Laila''s voice sounded in his ears. This is it, were here! Xia En collected his thoughts, looked up, and found that a group of them had arrived in a square. ?This is already the core area of ??the [Upper City], and the thick and wide trunk of the Elf Mother Tree is not far from the square. At this moment, the square paved with bluestones was very lively. Pedestrians were coming and going, and many people gathered in front of each stall. ?There are those selling snacks and drinks, some selling various magic props, as well as various weapons, equipment, and even some weird gadgets. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This is called an "exhibition"? You are obviously here to go to the market, right? But after thinking about it, Xia En could understand the reason for the existence of this kind of market. Seven Seas, [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] almost monopolizes 80% of the trade. ??Whatever goods the captains have, they can sell them directly to the chamber of commerce. Similarly, if there is any need, they will buy directly from the chamber of commerce, so markets like this are rare. ?However, even if we dont talk about the shopping malls we have seen on Earth, Xia En has also seen this lively scene on Silver Moon Island. ??Of course there is no fluctuation in my heart. But beside them, Yan Yan and Cui Qian, one has lived on the [Ice and Snow Island] for an unknown number of years, and the other has been trapped at the bottom of the sea for an unknown number of years. Where have they ever seen such a lively place? ??The two of them looked like country people who had just entered the city, showing expressions of surprise and staring intently at the novel things. Sister Laila, what is that? Can you eat it? Good sister, buy one for me to try! ??Tracy is not young, but she still has the temper of a child and hangs around Laila. No problem, but I have to wait until I finish my business first. ?Laila kept walking and soon came to the booth of a special booth. ?There are obviously much fewer customers here, and most of them just glanced at the items in the booth and left. Miss Laila, you are here. ??The owner of this stall is a wealthy businessman. He said with a smile: "This is the latest style steam engine you want, as well as other supporting facilities." Steam engine? ?Xia En was stunned. He didnt expect that the business Laila mentioned was actually this! But when he saw the steam engine in the booth, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. ?This steam engine is far from the steam engine of the Federal era. It is bloated and huge, and the valves and pipes are also very thick. Instead, it is more like the first-generation steam engine during the Industrial Revolution in Seans impression. But Laila was extremely excited about this backward machine and said with a smile. Its so beautiful! It is indeed a product of [Tianqi Chamber of Commerce]! Much better than my crappy machine! At this time, she also quickly noticed Xia En''s strange expression, and hummed with dissatisfaction. Sure enough, dont you despise this thing called a steam engine? Let me tell you, this thing looks inconspicuous, but it might be able to change the world! Xia En''s expression became even weirder. Of course he knows that steam engines can change the world! ?The emergence of this new thing directly promoted the industrial revolution, right? ??Moreover, it also completely changed the power mode of ships, which laid the foundation for the Age of Discovery. ?However, judging from Laila''s tone, I''m afraid some of her kin looked down on steam engines and ridiculed her. This made Laila misunderstand herself. ?Besides, Yan Yan couldn''t help but say after taking a look at the machines in the booth. Captain Shane must look down on this machine, because the steam equipment on his ship is much more advanced than this! ?As soon as these words came out, not to mention Laila, even the fat businessman beside her looked surprised. "impossible!" The fat businessman immediately retorted: "This is the latest steam engine purchased by our Chamber of Commerce from Lun City." I can use the reputation of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] to guarantee that even if I search all over the Southern Continent, I cant find a steam engine more advanced than this. ?This businessman is apparently from the Tianqi Chamber of Commerce! Thinking about it, [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] existed before the Great Flood, so it is not surprising to meet them on [Emerald Island]. Yan Yan completely ignored Xia Ens warning eyes and vowed. Im not lying, Captain Shanes steam device is many times more advanced than this. After getting along with each other for a short while, Laila also got to know the big man somewhat. She knew that he was an honest man and would not lie, so she turned to look at Shane. Is what he said true? If there is a more advanced steam engine, can you let me see it? I am very curious... ?Laila opened her big watery eyes and stared at Xia En intently. By this time, Xia En had figured it out. ?Perhaps, fate urged him to come to this era by chance, just to let him do something. Instead of being **** and worrying about the "butterfly effect" and "timeline closing", it is better to follow your heart and do what you want to do! ?In this way, your trip here will not be in vain! ?Thinking of this, Shane no longer hesitated and quickly took out a steam device from the space ring and handed it to Laila. Seeing this brass-colored steam device, Laila and the fat businessman''s eyes suddenly widened. This, this Both of them have a good understanding of steam engines. So we all know that at this stage, steam engines have not been widely promoted, and their efficiency is far lower than that of various spells. It is normal for them to be looked down upon by the elves. But in front of them, this steam device, which was less than the size of a palm, subverted their cognition. ?Those precise and detailed gears and extremely complex cylinders are far beyond the concept of a steam engine. They are simply like devices that could only come out of fantasy. Furthermore, this device also has a mysterious activity, as if there is a consciousness gestating in it. This is the effect of being equipped with [Heart of Steam]. ?Shaan was not surprised by their reaction. Even he was shocked when he saw this black technology of steam. Let alone these people who lived thousands of years ago. Can I touch it? ?Laila asked cautiously, looking at the steam device as if looking at some rare treasure. "certainly." Xia En smiled and said, "If you like it, you can just give it to you." ?After plundering the inventories of Duke Island and Silver Moon Island, he still has a lot of steam devices in his space ring! Thank you, Shane! ?Laila was so excited that she hugged Xia En directly, kissed him on the face, and then picked up the steam device to study it. ??Xia En was startled, but seeing Laila''s serious look, he had no choice but to regard it as an unintentional move on her part. About half an hour later. ?Laila raised her head in confusion and sighed regretfully. Tracey asked in confusion: "Why did my sister sigh?" The level of this steam device simply transcends an era. ?Laila said seriously: "Even if we figure out the principles, we can''t make those precise gears and pipes." Hearing this, the fat businessman next to him breathed a sigh of relief. After a brief moment of disappointment, Laila quickly cheered up and said with a smile. However, the emergence of this steam device is enough to show that there is still a lot of room for progress in steam technology. Lets not talk about this anymore. Its hard for you to come to [Upper City], so why not take a stroll around this exhibition. ?Speaking, Laila took Xia En and the others to wander in the square. I have to say. The things exhibited and sold in this square are quite unique. [Emerald Island] was originally just an unknown island with not many indigenous people, but after the elves began to migrate, they would bring a group of merchants and civilians with them every time. Other ships came to the island one after another to trade and settle. Over time, a situation was formed where humans and elves lived together. Hence, the products here include not only the specialties of the elves, but also the unique delicacies of humans from all over the world. ?Among them, what impressed Sean deeply were the sweet pancakes made from the leaves of the elf mother tree, as well as the honey pig intestines and spicy and sour sheep''s eye pie that I don''t know who invented. ?The former tastes quite good, and the latter is just pure dark cuisine. ?However, what is strange is that... ??There are actually no items related to magic patterns in this square. ?Perhaps in this era, the magic pattern technology has not been developed yet? While strolling around, the sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun swayed down from the heights, dyeing the square a light golden color. At this time, Yan Yan and Cui Qian were tired from shopping and were sitting on chairs not far away to rest. ?Shane and Laila came to a stall with several tattered books. The stall owner is a teenage girl, a little dirty, thinly dressed and skinny. She looked at Xia En and whispered. Sir, would you like to buy a book? Shaan asked: "What kind of books are these?" Hearing this, the little girl''s eyes lit up, she carefully picked up a book and said to Xia En. These are ancient books that record some strange magic. A book like this one records the magic that can turn the land into a field of flowers. ?Xia En was suddenly stunned. Of course he remembers this magic. According to Xian Ge, this spell is on the first page of the magic notebook. ??Doesn''t this mean that it was after this that Laila started her journey of collecting magic? ?Then what role do you play in this process? (End of this chapter) Chapter 173 [Wrath of God], The Disaster of the Emerald Isle Chapter 173 [Wrath of God], The Disaster of the Emerald Island Before Xia En could speak, Laila said in surprise: "Become a flower field?" Sounds great! Lets do this, Ill give you five gold coins and give me all these magic books. The little girl naturally nodded hurriedly and packed these magic books to Laila. But at this moment, two or three elves happened to be passing by. Laila, is that you? Due to Laila''s unique appearance, one of the elf girls quickly recognized her and spoke with some caution and concern. Its been such a long time. ?Seeing this girl, Laila, who had always been calm, changed her expression slightly. She couldn''t help biting her lips and spoke in a complicated tone. Sister Anqi ?Xia En glanced at the girl in surprise. Layla''s aunt is the current elf queen, and the two of them don''t seem to be biological sisters. In other words, this girl named "Anqi" is the real elf princess! It is not difficult to see that Angels attitude towards Laila is very complicated. Concerned yet distant, wanting to get close but afraid to get close. After thinking about it, An Qis attention fell on the magic book on the stall, and she quickly frowned. Laila, these ancient books... must be forgeries, right? As soon as these words came out, the little girl setting up the stall turned pale, and there was pleading in her eyes. ?Laila sighed: "Sister, I have seen this kind of thing a long time ago." "But as long as two or three of these books are true, I think it''s worth it." Obviously, Laila had already seen through the little girl''s clumsy tactics, but she didn''t expose it out of sympathy. ?An Qi was stunned and asked, "Are you still studying those messy things?" "Laila, listen to my sister''s advice. You are a gifted person and you can use your talents to advance on the road and practice secret techniques." If you had practiced hard, you would have broken through the fourth level by now. How could you stop at the third level? Thats not a mess! Hearing these words, Laila finally couldn''t help but retorted loudly. The surrounding area immediately became quiet, and the passers-by stared at her in surprise. Im sorry, sister, I was a little out of sorts. Before she finished speaking, Laila hurriedly left the square and plunged into the nearby woods, leaving An Qi and others looking at each other. At this time, Xia En walked up to An Qi, first showed that he was Laila''s friend, and then asked. Why is the relationship between Miss Laila and Her Royal Highness the Princess so weird? ??Although Xia En''s appearance in a black robe is quite suspicious, in the [Upper City], various races live together, and there are many people wearing strange clothes. ?An Qi didnt have too much doubt, sighed and explained. In the elves, this is actually not a secret. Lailas mother once committed extremely serious mistakes, which even attracted [Gods wrath]. It is precisely because of this that we were forced to move to this [Emerald Island] in an attempt to avoid disaster. Because of this incident, Laila became the daughter of a sinner, and she gradually became estranged from me. The Wrath of God? Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. He has not forgotten that the destruction of the elves was a result of offending a certain god. Because of this, he was cursed with [aphasia]. So there was a clue at this time? ??Xia En also thought of the strange fish that attacked the port just now, and felt even more uneasy. ?In this era, the great flood has not yet come, and the mysterious power on the land has not polluted the ocean. In fact, there are not many alienated sea beasts like the ones that can be seen everywhere later. ??Why does that kind of strange fish that obviously comes from the deep sea attack an island on the sea? ??Moreover, judging from Lailas tone, it was obvious that this was not the first time this happened. ?Xia Ens heart beat faster and faster, and he vaguely realized something. ?So he quickly said goodbye to Angel and chased in the direction where Laila escaped. at the same time. ?Laila ran into the woods, but leaned against a big tree, with many confusing emotions flooding her heart. ??Of course Laila knew that An Qi was doing it for her own good, and also knew that she was sincerely concerned. But the problem is ??Layla is nicknamed the "Sinner''s Daughter". She lives alone in a small wooden house and is marginalized by other elves. Her parents died early. ?Those messy and useless studies to others, whether it is steam engines, alchemy, or various strange magics, have become her hobbies and the pillars of her soul. No one wants something they love to be devalued as worthless by others. ?The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved Laila felt. For a moment, I couldn''t help but sob softly, crying like a little tabby cat. At the end of the day. According to the lifespan of an elf, Laila is still just a little girl. Why cant we be more vulnerable and childish? ?At this moment, Laila suddenly heard subtle footsteps. ?She quickly turned around and faced the big tree, not wanting others to see her current appearance. Laila. Soon, a familiar voice sounded from behind. ?Laila lowered her head and said dullly: "Xia En, do you also think what my sister said is right?" Do you also think I shouldnt do these useless studies? How could it be so? ?Xia Ens voice sounded again. What a person likes to do and study, as long as it does not harm others, that is his freedom. I think you did nothing wrong. If you dont believe it, just turn around and take a look and you will know. Hearing this, Laila raised her head hesitantly and looked behind her. ?At this sight, the elf girl was stunned. I saw that in the not dense woods, the golden sunset passed through the gaps in the leaves and poured down like water. ?Below, one after another, nameless white flowers emerged from the soil at some unknown time, spreading their petals to their heart''s content and blooming with all their strength. The breeze blew gently, and the white flowers undulated like a sea of ??flowers. ?Such a beautiful and dreamy sight made Laila temporarily lose her mind. ?In the sea of ??flowers, a strange figure wearing a black robe slowly walked forward holding a tattered old book. ??Looks out of place with this scene. I didnt expect this magic to be quite spectacular? Xia En was also quite emotional. Because [Captain''s Majesty] was bound to Joey, he already mastered some low-level spells, and now he has learned Elvish. So, with just a little research, I figured out how to use this magic. ??But Xia En didnt expect that the visual effect after the actual release would be so amazing! ?Perhaps, this has something to do with his extremely high [mysterious] attribute. "What a nice view" At this time, Laila looked at the flower field in front of her and murmured to herself. "I like this magic very much..." "As long as you like it." Suddenly, something happened, and Xia En said: "How about this, you can record the magic you like and collect in a notebook." Human memory is limited after all. Besides, maybe there will be other people who like to delve into this kind of magic in the future? At that time, this notebook can be regarded as a precious legacy you leave to future generations. Hearing this, Laila nodded confusedly: "That seems to be the truth..." Boom! ! Suddenly, there was a roar in the distance, as if the sky was falling. The earth-shattering sound surged with darkness and air waves, and crashed into the upper city. The entire city, and even the elf mother tree in the center, was shaking violently. ??Xia En and the other two were also unstable due to the shaking of the ground and almost fell. What happened? ?Shaan supported Laila and looked up to the heights, and was suddenly horrified. ?In the sky not far away, a dark and deep gap hundreds of meters long suddenly opened. Immediately, a black substance that looked like mist or sea water flowed out of the cracks and quickly poured towards the Elf Mother Tree. Not only that, there were huge shadow monsters swaying out of the cracks one after another. Thats right, its you! ?In the black mist, only the outline of the monster could be seen clearly, swimming in mid-air as if it were in the sea. ?Seeing this scene, Laila''s expression changed instantly and she gritted her teeth. It is [the wrath of God] Those monsters will attack everyone indiscriminately, and my mother was killed by them. This is [the wrath of God]? ! Xia En was shocked in his heart, but knew that now was not the time to think about the reasons behind this, so he immediately ran in the direction he came from. Yan Yan and Cui Qian are still waiting in the square! ?Laila did not hesitate and followed his footsteps. ??Just as they were rushing to the square, several emerald-green streams of light had risen from the elf mother tree and took the initiative to attack the monsters in mid-air. Obviously, this is the action of a strong man among the elves! But at the same time, [Upper City] also fell into unprecedented chaos. In the previously lively and orderly square, no matter whether it was merchants, vendors, guests, or local residents, they were all running around in confusion. ?Screams, cries, wailings...were heard one after another. Fortunately, Yan Yan followed Xia En''s instructions honestly and stayed where he was with Tracy without moving. ?However, there were a few more unexpected figures beside them. It was the elf princess An Qi, her friends, and some traders who recognized her identity. They probably gathered here because they felt it was safer to stay with the princess. Xia En had just arrived in front of Yan Yan when he suddenly heard a loud noise that shook the sky. I saw an emerald green figure in mid-air, crashing into the square at a faster speed than when it rose. In an instant, air waves rolled and smoke and dust rose everywhere. A large pit with a radius of about ten meters appeared in the square. In the center of the pit, there lay a male elf with weak breath. There was a big hole in his abdomen, and his intestines fell out. It seemed that he would not survive. Seeing this man, Angel and Laila couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Uncle Bendis!" Laila was completely puzzled. ?This Bendis is an important elf noble and a fifth-level mystic. How could he lose so quickly? Lets go! ?Bendis was unconscious, but he said an important message: "That kind of black mist... can seal the secret power in the Elvish language!" Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized. Although the mystics of the Elf clan also have other secret ways, they are too dependent on the easy-to-use language of Elvish. So that once they lose this language, their strength will be greatly reduced. Exactly what he thought. ?At this time, in mid-air, the elf warriors who had risen into the air began to fall from high places one after another, or were swallowed up by monsters in the black mist. In an instant, there were huge casualties. ?Moreover, a thick and ominous black mist like water has quietly come in and spread around everyone. What to do now? ?The elf princess An Qi was obviously a little panicked. She knew she had to escape, but the whole city was enveloped in black mist, so where could she escape? Go to [Lower City]! ?Xia Ens brain was spinning rapidly and he made a decision quickly. Upper Cityis located at a high place, so of course it will be attacked by God''s Wrath immediately. Lower CityAs the core of the elves, there must be other means of defense. Furthermore, Xia En knew that the pirate king was also in the port below! ??If the Elvish language fails, then Augustine is most likely to be the strongest person on this [Emerald Island]! When hugging your thighs, of course you have to choose the thickest one to hug! An Qi frowned and said, "But now, the passage from [Upper City] to [Lower City] must be blocked." Is it possible to jump off the edge of the city? Xia En asked back: "Isn''t there a teleportation spell?" Angies brows furrowed even deeper: Ive already tried it, but I cant cast spells in Elvish anymore ?She stopped abruptly before she finished speaking. Because on the side, Laila had already drawn a simple magic circle at the feet of everyone. Everybody stand up. This is a teleportation array that does not use Elvish! For a moment, An Qi was speechless. Soon, in a ray of light, everyones figures appeared in the [Lower City] below. Its just that the situation here is not much better than in the upper city. The surrounding space has been filled with water-like black fog, and visibility is extremely low. ??Only vaguely visible were several emerald green light sources in the black mist, and vague sounds of screams and fighting came from the direction of the light sources. The air is filled with the smell of blood that cannot be ignored. So dark...so scary... Tracey murmured in a low voice and hid in Laila''s collar tremblingly. ?Xia En looked around and found that the group of people all had similar expressions. They do not have [lightless touch], and in this dark environment, the fear in their hearts is constantly growing. "ah!" Suddenly, a scream came. In the team, the fat businessman from [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] fell to the ground. His head disappeared, leaving only a headless body. That is, other people could not clearly see his condition, otherwise they might have screamed. ??A chill arose in Xia En''s back, and instinctive warning signs surged up like crazy. He realized that there was some kind of extremely terrifying "hunter" hidden in the darkness! ?Xia En looked decisively at Yan Yan beside him and said. Let there be light! ? Yan Yan suddenly understood, and the surging flames immediately rose from his body, igniting the black robe and illuminating the surroundings like a torch. Immediately, without hesitation, Xia En took out the black dragon sword from the space ring. ??Suddenly slashed forward with the sword! (End of this chapter) Chapter 174 Xia En stands tall on the earth! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 174 Xia En stands tall on the earth! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Dang! The sword was slashed out, the air shook, and the wind howled, containing Xia En''s terrifying power of up to 2.4. But when this sword fell on the monster in the black mist, it did not directly split it into two. Instead, it made a sound of gold and iron. Xia En looked intently into the darkness and saw the appearance of this monster clearly. ?Its body is covered with a ferocious carapace covered with spikes, and its thorn-like tentacles stretch and wave in the mist, with faint traces of blood on them. Even though it was hundreds of times larger than its kind, Shane still recognized its species. ?This is a huge crayfish! The sword that Xia En struck just now landed on its carapace, which was stronger than steel. ?However, this sword was not without results. The mutated crayfish left a very deep wound on its body, and dark purple blood gurgled out from it. ??The crayfish''s mouthparts open and close, making a hoarse and low noise, exuding a foul and blasphemous atmosphere. Those small compound eyes stared at Xia En with angry and greedy eyes. It is indeed a creature from the sea. Xia En thought in his heart: "However, it seems to have been transformed and controlled by some kind of power." Obviously, this mutant crayfish has certain similarities with the deep-sea monster fish in the previous port and the magic-patterned sea beast in later generations. ??If he guessed correctly, this is the handiwork of that god! But which **** is it? Why did the elves offend Him? ?Xia En still doesnt know anything about these questions. At the moment, it is not the time to continue to think deeply. ?Xia En quickly dismissed his distracting thoughts, raised his sword again, and thrust it upward with all his strength. The crayfish is unstable and its relatively soft abdomen is exposed under the huge force. Subsequently, Xia En struck down with his sword again. simultaneously! Blood spattered, the crayfish was split in two from the abdomen, fell to the ground, and soon lost its life. Kill the heirs of the foul and chaotic sea! Obtain the spoils of war: the body of the Dirty Haihe! Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: The descendant of Haiyang, whose mission is to spread "dirty chaos", his body contains the secret power of "Dirty Command". ??If this corpse is used as a sacrifice, maybe it will attract the attention of "Huisi Ming"? Si Ming, meaning...the **** who is in charge of the destiny of all people. Seeing these lines of description, Xia En couldn''t help but change his face slightly. ?Through this corpse, he actually knew the name of the **** who brought down [the wrath of God]. Dirty Si Ming! ?Just looking at this name, Xia En felt an ancient temperament inexplicably. It''s like the age of His existence is older than the [Storm Goddess] and [The Holy Lord of the Deep]. ?This is not just an intuition, but the influence of the name itself. In this world, language, rituals, real names... all have extraordinary power! Its just that since he is the **** who controls the fate of all people, why do he kill the elves in such a primitive and brutal way? There is also the prefix . Could it be that there is more than one person in charge of command? Soon, a line of text appeared on the panel, interrupting Xia En''s thinking. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" in the corpse has been detected. Do you want to absorb it? ?These [Filthy Sea Heirs] are not the fake demon-patterned sea beasts of later generations, so it is normal to give them some experience. Ship Soul Experience +0.5%! (Black Swan)] Ship Soul Experience +5%! (Diamond Star)] It is worth mentioning that after binding two ships, the experience value given by [Secret Sea Crystal] is not divided into two, but is applied to both ships at the same time. Just because the two ships are of different levels and require different experience points for upgrading, the displayed values ??are ten times different. But after absorbing the [Secret Sea Crystal], Xia En''s face didn''t look happy at all. Because, as the flames ignite themselves, they illuminate the surroundings. In the thick black fog, malicious eyes gradually cast their way towards this place. Several black figures with blurred outlines began to approach quietly. Seeing this, Xia En said to Yan Yan: "Control the flames on your body. Don''t burn too much. Just maintain the lighting." The current situation is... Once you are completely swallowed by the darkness, you will become the prey of the "Filthy Sea Heirs". The mysterious power contained in the black mist will also infect the people who are in it. But an eye-catching light source will also attract siege from the heirs. Yan Yan quickly understood what Xia En meant and managed to control the brightness of the flame to a level that was neither too bright nor too dark. Even so, the prying eyes in the surrounding black fog are still there. ?This also made the already panicked crowd even more uneasy. ?Laila first glanced at Yan Yan who had turned into a fireman in surprise, and then asked Xia En. Where should we go now? ?Xia En thought for a moment and answered decisively. Go to the palace! No matter what, the palace of the elves is definitely the place with the strongest defensive power now. ?Furthermore, based on what Xia En saw under the [Cold Sea], it is not difficult to draw a conclusion ??Although this attack by the [Filthy Sea Heirs] caused heavy casualties, it was not the real reason for the destruction of the elves. In other words, with the strength of the elves, they can still survive this crisis. Hearing his words, no one objected. ?After witnessing the killing of Hai Hei with his own eyes, Xia En has become the backbone of this group of people. Its not that there arent stronger mystics among the elves. ??However, since they were unable to use spells in Elvish, Xia En became a combat force that should not be underestimated. Follow me, I can determine the direction of the palace! After making up her mind, An Qi was at the front of the team, leading the way for Xia En and others. By this time, the sky was getting dark, and the surrounding black fog was as thick as a sea, submerging the "Upper City" and "Lower City". Cant tell whether its the fog or the darkness of the night. ??And those [Filthy Sea Heirs] roam freely in this ocean of black mist, hunting those who fall into the darkness. The elves also did not sit still and launched a fierce resistance. They also realized the horror of this darkness, so they used various ways to light sources of light. ?Closes of emerald green or orange light lit up in the black fog, attracting survivors in the city to get closer to them. Some lights become brighter, while others quickly die out. Faint screams and roars came from the black fog, making people unable to help but feel fear and uneasiness. But with the scorching light shining on them and looking at the firm figure in black robes, everyone''s mood calmed down inexplicably. Along the way, people were attracted by the fire one after another and joined the team. ?But at the same time, [Filthy Sea Heirs] from all directions were like sharks smelling the smell of blood, constantly attacking them. Some of them are fish, some are crabs, and some are molluscs covered with tentacles. ?But without exception, their forms have undergone some strange mutation, becoming particularly ugly and filthy. ?Not only Xia En, Yan Yan, An Qi, Laila, and even other powerful elves absorbed on the road all took full action and used their own methods to resist the enemy. Among them, Xia En and Yan Yan''s performances are naturally the most outstanding and unstoppable. Excluding some of the armored [Filthy Sea Heirs], that big sword is almost invincible. ?Each time he slashed, he could directly cut open the bodies of the heirs. Either killing him with a single blow of the sword, or cutting open a huge wound and cutting off limbs or organs. This is the simplest and most direct violence! It is also Xia Ens biggest support since he traveled through time. ?And Yan Yan''s combat effectiveness was even a little beyond Xia En''s expectations. ?After unlocking the seal of the Elf Temple, his control over the strange flames has improved significantly. Not only can it temporarily extinguish the flames on its body, but it can also control part of the flames to directly attack the surrounding heirs. ?This flame is incredibly lethal. Any heir who comes into contact with it will be enveloped in flames within a few breaths, and after a few more breaths, it will turn into a ball of ashes. In an instant, several large fireballs appeared in the black mist, burning blazingly all around. But The number of heirs is too great! Not only are there cracks in the air, but in the sea around the Emerald Island, there are also strange heirs swimming into the black mist. In such a wave of sea descendants, everyone suffered some injuries. ?Suddenly someone was caught into the black mist and swallowed by the heirs in the darkness, leaving no bones left. A hint of sadness emerged in Xia En''s heart. It was a small stall owner he had patronized. The sweet pancakes she made were delicious. Suddenly. ??There was a roar in the black fog. It seemed like a very strong force burst out. ?Shaan is no stranger to this aura, it was the movement when Augustine took action. Obviously, the pirate king also encountered enemies who could compete with him. ?However, thanks to Augustines action, the [Filthy Heirs] around seemed to have found a target and were attracted towards it. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, leaving only the low sobs in the black mist. The group continued to move towards the palace. ??Taking this opportunity, Laila went to help the wounded in the team heal. Sister Laila, it turns out you can also do healing magic. ?A half-elf who was missing an arm said with emotion: "It seems that learning more human spells is still useful." No need to heal me. ?Laila walked to the side of a wounded elf. The wounded man''s face was ashen and angry, he raised his head and smiled. "I can''t save it. The monster just now was poisonous." You dont need to take my body away, just stay here, dont drag you down... Lyra checked his condition, but before she could finish, the elf''s heart stopped beating. ?Laila stood up in silence. Soon, the brief calm ended. The [Filthy Heirs] returned again, and there were several auras among them that frightened even Xia En. They hung at the back of the team like a pack of wolves, attacking and killing them from time to time. The strong elves in the team were also keenly aware of the arrival of a powerful enemy. Several elf guards gritted their teeth and said to Xia En. Sir, can you lend us a fire? Lets hold down those monsters. Please send the princess and other civilians to the palace! Xia En was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "Take care!" Laila and Angie looked back. ??The elven guards used the flames on Yanyan''s body to light torches and quickly moved forward into the black mist. ?Not long after, the firelight in the black mist went out, and there was a creepy chewing sound. Sir, there are not many people here who can fight. ?An older elf couple walked up to Xia En, looked at each other, and said with a smile. Please lend us a fire, too. Sister Laura, lets go with you. Several injured elves stood up and said. ?Xia En nodded and still said seriously: "Take care." ?Laila opened her mouth but said nothing. The team continues to move forward. Not long after, the flames falling behind the team were extinguished. ??The cold and eerie breath is approaching again. At this time, Xia En smiled: "Yan Yan, come on, it''s our turn." Tracy, just follow Laila to the Elven Palace. ?Elf Tracey flapped her wings, flew out from Laila''s collar, and landed on Shane''s shoulders. I came with you, and of course I have to go with you. ?Shaan was a little surprised: "Don''t you want to stay?" He asked not only to stay in the team, but also to stay in this era. After all, compared to the situation where Tracy was the only elf left in the entire elf city, isnt the current [Emerald Island] more suitable for her to live in? Tracey shook her head and said softly. This era is good, but I dont belong here. ?Hence, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him. Suddenly, Yan Yan on the side spoke again: "Captain Xia En, you stay, I will go to the rear alone." You know Im not going to die. Xia En shook his head and said, "You won''t die, but you can''t stop them." But only you can attract their attention to the greatest extent. Hearing this, Yan Yan no longer hesitated. After leaving a few torches for the people around him, he came to Xia En. "don''t want" ?Laila looked at them and cried. Dont worry, I wont die. Xia En''s eyes swept across the group. Except for Laila and An Qi, most of the group were ordinary civilians, as well as many children and the elderly. Laila, theyre leaving it to you. With that said, Xia En and the two walked towards the black mist. The moment of walking into the black fog. Xia En then said: "Yan Yan, let the fire burn." The next moment. ??The raging fire suddenly ignited from Yan Yan''s body, beating and flying, turning into an extremely bright torch. Although the cost was burning flesh and blood, a wanton and bright smile still appeared on Yan Yans face! Looking at his expression, Xia En was in a daze. The Yan Yan at this time gradually overlapped with the [Fuel King] burning like firewood on the throne in his memory! Roar! Suddenly, a terrifying roar sounded. A creature that looked like a bird or a fish appeared in front of the fire. ?This monster that is more than ten meters tall looks like a penguin, but its wide open mouth is like a flower blooming with flesh and blood, and its body is composed of countless twisted and entangled tentacles. Just the outline of a penguin. ?That shrill and angry roar is enough to make most people faint. Not far behind them, Laila and others looked at this ugly monster with horror on their faces. The eyes of some people are even filled with despair. But at this moment. ! Dong dong dong! A heartbeat like a drum sounded from beside the huge torch. It''s like hammer blows on people''s hearts again and again. Then, in their shocked eyes. A figure continues to expand and expand, and its body shape continues to grow. Five metersten metersfifteen meters The transformation of this giant did not stop until it was close to a height of twenty meters. ??The filthy black mist wrapped around him, and the flickering light of the fire gave his image an indescribable sanctity. At this moment, Xia En stands tall on the earth! (End of this chapter) Chapter 175 [Apostle of Filth and Chaos], use Fire Fist on him! Chapter 175 [Apostle of Filth and Chaos], use Fire Fist on him...! In the dark fog like a vast ocean. ?The majestic giant suddenly appeared under the light of the fire. In an instant, it attracted the attention of all nearby survivors. ?The huge size and terrifying momentum made them feel an instinctive awe in their hearts, and a little fire of hope was rekindled in their hearts. Who is that? Is it reinforcements from the giants? What a powerful momentum! ?The giant''s shoulders, Tracey couldn''t help but exclaimed. "Captain Shane, so, so big..." Hold on tight. ?Shane said as softly as possible, but it still sounded like rumbling thunder in Tracy''s ears. Tracy also knew the urgency of the situation, so she grabbed a piece of his hair as much as possible and hid. at the same time. ??The terrifying penguin named [Filthy Sea Heir] directly attacked Xia En without any hesitation or fear. ? ?The writhing and distorted flesh is constantly peeling off its body, as if it is in a state of decay and regeneration all the time, which looks disgusting and creepy. Accompanied by a high-pitched neighing sound. ?These strange pieces of flesh and blood that fell down instantly turned into long whips and whipped towards the giant''s body. ?Xia En roared angrily, stretched out his hand to grab the flesh and blood tentacles, and lifted them hard. With the help of these tentacles, he actually lifted Haiji''s body. Immediately afterwards, he exerted force with both arms, as if grabbing a rag doll, and smashed Haiji back and forth on the ground. ! Boom! Boom! The muffled sound continued, and the earth shook violently. ??A stream of air burst out, causing the leaves in the nearby black mist to rustle. ?However, the penguin heirs are not defenseless. ?It quickly disconnected the tentacles from the body, and at the same time opened its beak-like mouth. Anyone who knows something about penguins will know that their tongues are covered with dense, barb-like teeth. At this time, with the opening of this big mouth, it is like a flower of flesh and blood is blooming! ??The pieces of flesh that are constantly expanding, shrinking and deforming are its petals, and the disordered teeth are its stamens. Profane, ugly! This is a filthy thing that should not belong to this world! Immediately afterwards, a powerful attraction emanated from the mouth, and the surrounding black mist was swallowed up by it like sea water. Close to the large mouth, the black mist was even squeezed into a liquid state. At this moment, the penguins fleshy mouth seemed to have turned into a black hole, wildly devouring everything around it. Want to eat me? Xia En immediately caught the Haihe''s intention and sneered. Then it depends on whether your teeth are good enough! Subsequently, he did not dodge and punched the penguin''s mouth. ??The flesh and blood flower squirmed excitedly, its sharp teeth kept rubbing, and it seemed that it was about to swallow Xia En''s fist and arm together. But at this moment. Several dark red lines suddenly appeared on the surface of Xia En''s body. The secret power of the embers of chaos flows in it, instantly bursting out with a temperature as hot as magma. The next moment. ??A raging fire ignited out of thin air next to Xia En''s fist, like a flaming meteor, cutting through the frightening darkness. simultaneously! The flames suddenly rose as soon as they came into contact with the flesh and blood of the dirty sea heir. It is like sparks falling on a dry firewood pile and burning out of control. In the blink of an eye, the dark red flame spread from the penguin''s mouth to its body and then to its limbs. From the burning fireball, a painful and sharp roar came out. ?This voice seemed to contain layers of noise, turning into countless incomprehensible murmurs and roars in the mind, making everyone who heard it feel horrified. ?Xia En was also a little surprised. The effect of the secret power of Ember is actually so good? Or, the power of fire? He suddenly realized that flames might be the nemesis of this [Filthy Sea Heir]! In this world, steam is sacred. But ultimately, the sacredness of steam comes from the burning flame. For ordinary evil beings, "exorcism" can be carried out by relying only on flames. Now, [Filthy Sea Heir] seems to have been purified in some way because of this characteristic. only Before Xia En could breathe a sigh of relief, there were several more terrifying auras approaching in the thick black mist. He looked back at the faint fire that was getting further away in the darkness, then took a deep breath and looked again at the heirs approaching in the black mist. But when he saw this, Xia En was slightly startled. ??I saw a dark figure standing among several deep-sea monster fish. ??This figure is just the size of a normal human being, and is inconspicuous in front of those huge strange fish. But the aura on his body made Xia En''s expression suddenly change the moment he sensed it. ?He was so filthy and filthy, as if it were filled with maggots and mold, and just the mere sight of it would make you sick. People cant help but think of rotting rotten meat and stinking blood. ?The pressure this person alone brought to Xia En exceeded all the [Filthy Heirs] around him! Without a doubt. ?This figure is definitely not a human being, but some kind of monster similar to the [Filthy Sea Heir]! The only good news is ??This humanoid monster did not attack Xia En and the two as soon as it came up. Instead, it stood silently in the black mist and stared at them with an inhuman gaze. ?However, those ugly strange fish obviously do not have such patience. After getting close, they immediately attacked Xia En and Yan Yan. ?This time, Xia En and the two did not face the enemy easily as they did in the team just now, but fell into a difficult and hard battle. ?Whether it was Xia Ens huge size or the strong fire, they became extremely eye-catching targets. The [Filthy Sea Heirs] that are coming from all around are not comparable to the scattered monsters before in terms of strength and quantity. Even though Xia En''s giant body can easily crush a sea heir, Yan Yan tried his best to burn the monsters that came into contact with him. The sea of ??sea surrounding the fire not only did not decrease, but more and more killed. In fact, the reason why Xia En used the ability to transform into a giant was from the very beginning. On the one hand, it is to attract the enemy''s attention. On the other hand, it is because...if he does not gain combat power through this, he may not be able to defeat these heirs. At the end of the day, Xia En is still just a third-level Mystic Pathfinder. ?Even if you use [Giant Wristwheel] to obtain the fourth level of combat power, it is not enough in front of this [Wrath of God]! ?Havent you seen that even the fifth-level elves died like ants in this disaster? At this moment. ??The [Ship Soul Power] on Xia En''s panel is constantly falling. ?And the speed of Yanyan''s regeneration gradually failed to keep up with the speed of burning. The worst part is that the side effects of using [Giant Wristwheel] are gradually showing up. ?Shaan''s eyes began to have some chaotic nightmare-like hallucinations, and overlapping whispers echoed in his ears. After delaying for so long, Laila and the others should be able to escape to the palace soon. Xia En punched the head of a strange fish and said in his heart: "It''s time to break out." Just when he was about to use his trump card. ??The surrounding black mist rolled like ocean waves, and the [Filthy Haihe] in it suddenly became calmer. ??The heirs who were swarming just now suddenly disappeared like a tide. They trembled and looked in one direction in the black mist, as if they were making way for the king. The humanoid figure that had made Xia En extremely wary before began to walk towards the two of them step by step. ?As he moved, not only Xia En, Yan Yan, but also Tracey hidden in his hair all had a feeling of hair standing on end and shuddering. Tracey asked with a trembling voice. What on earth is this guy? ?Yan Yans reaction was different from Xia Ens. Yan Yan felt a severe headache for no reason. ?It was like there was a tentacle stirring his brain, making his thinking a little chaotic and hot. Vaguely, a vague memory was revived in the process. But Yan Yan could not really recall this memory no matter what. It was as if there was an extremely strong shackle blocking the memory in his mind. ?This feeling was even more unbearable than the pain that constantly burned his body, so much so that Yan Yan couldn''t help but let out a roar of pain. Yan Yan, whats wrong with you? Xia En was shocked. This was the first time he saw Yan Yan showing such an expression. Are you okay? Yan Yan covered his head, stared at the figure not far away, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth. Ive definitely seen this guy! Hearing this, Xia En was surprised again. How could Yan Yan be involved with the humanoid monster from a thousand years ago? At this time, the figure gradually revealed his true appearance in the firelight. ?That was a highly decomposed human face, not just the face, but his whole body was in this weird state of decay. Then, a hoarse voice came from His mouth. is a barely legible lingua franca: The smell of burning firewoodfamiliardangerous But...I probably havent seen you in the past. So, it seems... we will meet in the future. As soon as His words came out of his mouth, Xia En felt a strong, physical discomfort. ?This feeling of blasphemy is like an inhuman existence that is deliberately and poorly imitating the tone of human speech. His tone became more and more human. Even later, it was almost indistinguishable from humans. ?But because of this, Xia En felt more and more creepy. Is this probably a different kind of "uncanny valley" effect? ?And the content of His words also makes people have to pay attention to it. ?Just by looking at his breath, he could actually tell that Xia En and others came from the future! Yan Yan endured the headache and asked through gritted teeth. What on earth are you This rotten being murmured: "I have no name, and I don''t need a name." But some of the humans I destroyed seemed to call me... [Apostle]. "If you surrender to me, I will let you die more peacefully, and you won''t have to be like them..." At this moment, Yan Yan and Cui Qian saw it. ?Behind the apostle, one corpse after another seemed to be mixed into a ball by some kind of power, floating beside him in a tragic and strange posture. These corpses include humans, elves, pirates, and city residents. But without exception, not even the whole body was left behind, only broken arms and limbs, and the stench of decay was left. Tracy had never seen such a terrifying scene before. Her face turned pale and she almost vomited. Yan Yan''s momentum was also temporarily frustrated. But at this moment. Do it! ?Xia Ens voice without hesitation sounded in the ears of the two of them, which made their spirits suddenly rise. Immediately afterwards, Xia En activated the [Double Ship Soul] and [Storm Power] at the same time! Facing this kind of enemy, Xia En didn''t dare to hold back at all, so he immediately went out in the third and fourth stages, entering his peak state. ??The vast and surging secret power instantly poured into Xia En''s body like a big river, causing his breath to rise steadily. ?With the blessing of these two forces, the giant, which was already twenty meters high, actually rose three to four meters higher again. At the same time, the Chaos Demon Marks on Xia En''s body became brighter and brighter, like a big sun rising up, emitting a dazzling firelight that seemed to illuminate the entire world. ??Rolling heat waves continued to erupt with Xia En as the center, attracting the attention of countless survivors in the darkness. The next moment. ?Xia En suddenly punched the [Apostle of Filth and Chaos]. The terrifying power and fire fell directly on this seemingly insignificant apostle. ?But the apostle obviously did not solve it so easily. A strange rotten power spread from his body, like a breeze. This mysterious power seems to be able to corrupt and decompose all matter. Even flesh and fire are no exception. As the breeze blows, the flame instantly weakens and extinguishes, and is divided into extremely small levels. It can be said that this is already a law-level power. ??However, when this rotten wind came into contact with Xia En''s projected body, the apostle showed surprise for the first time. Your body...is not flesh and blood? What exactly is this substance... ??Xia En also immediately realized his advantage and began to directly burst out with a speed that was inconsistent with his size, bombarding the apostles with his body again and again. However, that seemingly rotten and decaying body actually showed extremely terrifying resilience. ?Even if he is smashed into pulp by fists, he can return to his original state in the blink of an eye. Shane quickly understood the reason behind this. This body is simply an insignificant body to the [Apostle of Filth and Chaos]. In other words, this body has died long ago and is only maintained by that weird secret power of corruption. You cannot kill a dead person. This is what is truly terrifying about this apostle. Just when the situation gradually became serious, Yan Yan said to Xia En: "I have a way to kill him, but I need to temporarily control him for a few seconds." Captain Shane, can you do it? Xia En looked at him deeply: "Leave it to me." Yan Yan took a deep breath, and the color of the flames on his body suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, it changed from the original orange-red to a faint blue. ??The temperature of the flame didn''t seem to change, but it made Xia En feel a strong sense of danger. Its like...it can even ignite the soul! An expression of extreme pain also appeared on Yan Yans face. ??If Xia En guessed correctly, the fuel of this blue flame is his soul! Xia En''s heart was shaken, but now, the arrow was on the string and he had to shoot. Seeing this scene, [Apostle of Dirt and Chaos] sneered: "It''s just a useless sacrifice." You still want to get close to me with this kind of clumsy flame? But immediately, [The Apostle of Dirty Chaos]s words stopped abruptly. Because, from his perspective, one after another, deep and dark tentacles were quietly emerging from the black mist. ??The eyeballs on the suction cups are turning gruntingly, and the sharp teeth are rubbing and whispering. The touch of darkness! This skill once again comes into play at a critical moment. ? Every previous attack by Xia En left a mark on the apostle. Now, it is time to detonate the mark! Holy Lord Netherworld! It turns out you are His pawn hurts in an angry and frightened roar . Immediately afterwards, countless illusory tentacles flooded his body. Obviously, this control is only temporary, but...that''s enough! Xia En looked down at him. Yan Yan, who was wrapped in soul flames, had already arrived in front of the apostle. Use the Fire Fist on Him...! ??As Xia En was muttering to himself, Yan Yan brazenly waved his flaming fist! Immediately, the blue fire light spread suddenly in the black mist... (End of this chapter) Chapter 176 See you in the future! Chapter 176 See you in the future! In the vast black mist. A location close to the coast. Captain, who is that guy? The first mate of [Black Sail] opened his only remaining eye and looked at the giant standing in the firelight in the distance, and couldn''t help but feel a touch of shock in his eyes. When did the descendants of giants appear on the Emerald Isle? Beside him, Augustine also showed a rare serious expression and shook his head. Thats not a giant, hes not even a human being. ??Augustine''s inspiration went far beyond the average pirate. From his perspective, the body of the shadow giant seemed to be made up of countless double images. ?Each shadow seems to be twisting and squirming, making an unsettling cry, and even causing the surrounding things to mutate. ?The streets in the distance were trembling, the ground beneath our feet was spiraling, and the houses in the black mist were sometimes normal and sometimes turned into solemn tombstones. ?The night sky was hanging crookedly, and even the shapes of those [Filthy Sea Beasts] were changing into a weirder state. ?However, Augustine knew that these scenes were just hallucinations caused by a sudden decline in reason. This situation will only occur when facing some indescribable beings related to ancient gods. What is He? With the idea of ??inquiry and curiosity, Augustine tried hard to look towards the core of the giant. Subsequently, he saw a crazily writhing whirlpool of light and shadow, with countless stars and traces of light whistling and flowing. And in the deepest part of this whirlpool of light and shadow, it seems... A blue eye! Boom! At the moment when he looked into these eyes, Augustine''s mind roared, and his consciousness was greatly shocked, as if he was about to float out of his body. At this moment, a string of bracelets on his wrist suddenly emitted a pure glimmer of light, barely stabilizing his mind. Hoo! Hoo Augustine came back to his senses, panting like a drowning man, his back was wet with cold sweat. Ship...captain?! The first mate on the side was shocked. It was the first time he saw the always majestic and invincible captain showing such an expression. And this was just because the captain glanced at the giant one more time? Im fine. ?Augustine quickly regained his composure, waved his hand, and looked down at his wrist. ?Those precious, clear gemstones have all broken into tiny wafers at this time. ?Augustine couldn''t help but feel a sense of fear in his heart. ??If it weren''t for this bracelet, he might have fallen into real madness at this time. That eyethe power of [Secret Sea] Augustine calmed down, suppressed his thoughts, and spoke. No matter which existence he is incarnated, at least at this time, he is not our enemy. As for the man whose body is burning with flames, it reminds me of a legend on the mainland... Hearing this, the one-eyed dragon mate also thought thoughtfully: "You mean, the child who was born in the volcano?" Thats right. Augustine nodded: "It is said that in a city in the southern continent, a child was born with the eruption of a volcano. He was also covered in flames and burned day and night." That childs name is Xin! The one-eyed dragon mate guessed: "Maybe it''s just a coincidence?" There are so many mystics who control the secret power of fire on the mainland, how could we meet him by such a coincidence? Augustine said softly: "Maybe." Suddenly, Augustine laughed: "The two of them really stole the limelight." How can we not show it? Before he finished speaking, the tall man suddenly clenched his hands. With a violent roar, with him as the center, all the [Filthy Sea Heirs] with a radius of several hundred meters seemed to be squeezed by a huge force, and their bodies exploded and died. And if anyone stood beside Augustine, they would undoubtedly be surprised to find that In front of them, the dark sea water had already risen to a height of more than ten meters. ?A wave of waves stronger than the previous one came from a distance, constantly impacting an invisible space barrier. ??Along with the black fog, there was actually a tsunami that was enough to submerge the island! ?The person who stopped this tsunami from washing up on the coast was none other than Augustine! Fight a tsunami with the power of one person! What kind of spirit and power is this? ! ?However, this incident also consumed a lot of Augustine''s energy, leaving him unable to spare any effort to support the elves in the city. At this time. ?Several rotten and filthy figures appeared in the mist and walked toward Augustine. Here we go again, you filthy bastards? Augustine was not angry but happy. He laughed and said, "Go tell your God that His time is over!" How dare these people, who should have been swept into the dustbin of history, still walk in this world? After saying that, he took the lead and strode towards these [Filthy Apostles]. Ho **** ho ?In the blue soul flame, [Apostle of Filth]s body and even his soul were quickly burned to death. ?He opened his eyes with only white bones left, staring at Xia En and Yan Yan, muttering in the fire. Hehthis time, you win. But we will eventually recover from the filth! Lets see you in the future! ?As soon as He finished speaking these words, a rotten and blasphemous power flowed down his body toward Yan Yan. ?Obviously, even if death is imminent, He does not intend to make it easy for Yan Yan. ?This corrupting power was indeed extremely strange, and it spread from his fist to his arm in the blink of an eye. Even flames cannot destroy or prevent the spread of this secret power. On Yan Yan''s body surface, corpse-like plaques immediately appeared, and large chunks of flesh turned into pus. ?Seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate, immediately released the transformation state and came to Yan Yan''s side. ?As if due to the burning of his soul just now, Yan Yan''s eyes were dull and empty, as if he was in a half-dream and half-awake state. Yan Yan! Yan Yan! Shane called his name: "Cheer up!" Hearing this, Yan Yan''s eyelids moved, and his pale face finally felt a little alive. At this time, he also noticed the erosion of the power of corruption and immediately spoke. Captain Shane... chop my head off! Be quick! "What?" Xia En was stunned at first, but soon understood Yan Yans intention. ?With his immortality, even if his head is cut off, he will not die. Instead, he can avoid the contamination of the power of decay. This is indeed the only way at the moment. Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, chopped off Yan Yan''s head with a big sword, and ran with it in the black mist. As for the remaining body of Yan Yan, it quickly rotted and decomposed, turning into a pile of foul-smelling rotten flesh. Due to the death of the [Filthy Apostle], the surrounding heirs fell into a brief sluggish state, which gave the three people a chance to escape. Even so, it didnt take long before the heirs started to stare at them one after another, hanging behind them like a pack of wolves. Although there was no fire to attract them, the number of sea heirs was much reduced. But similarly, after the powers such as [Giant Wristwheel], [Double Ship Soul] and [Storm Power] faded away, Xia En also fell into a rather weak state. The worst thing is Ship Soul Power: 24/100 The power of the ship''s soul, which represents the "health bar", has dropped to an extremely dangerous number. ?Xia En is really not sure whether he will return to his true form when the power of the ship soul drops to 0, or whether he will die completely in this era. ?This night was extremely long. ??The sound of fighting came from the darkness all around, as other residents were being attacked and killed. Since he lost his guide and was not familiar with the city, Xia En could only rely on intuition to escape in the black mist. I dont know how long this pursuit lasted. Xia En didnt remember how many [Filthy Sea Heirs] he had killed. Even the ship spirit level of the [Diamond Star] has been increased by one level. But at this time, Xia En was really exhausted. Hallucinations continued in his mind, his limbs were sore and weak, and the power of the ship''s soul dropped to (2/100). ??I''m afraid that one more heir could kill him. It can be said that this is the first time that Xia En has been forced into such a desperate situation. The copy of [Emerald Island-Wrath of God] is not something he can explore now. ??Xia En is like a novice player who has just defeated the first BOSS and directly came to the later difficulty map. It is not easy to persist for such a long time. ?Suddenly, Tracey emerged from Shane''s collar, pointed at a house not far away and shouted. Captain Shane, look over there! Xia En looked intently, and saw that the building was emitting bright light, stubbornly resisting the erosion of the black fog. With this, he also saw the outline of the building clearly, and couldn''t help but feel a little surprised. Its the Elf Temple! ?It turned out that without even realizing it, they had circled back to the vicinity of the Elven Temple! ?That temple has the power of the Elf Mother Goddess, so it can also protect the survivors inside. ?Seeing that the way out was right in front of him, Xia En cheered up again and walked quickly towards the temple. ?But before he took two steps, his heart gradually sank to the bottom. Because of a coincidence, a sea snake-like [Filthy Sea Heir] swam out of the nearby mist. ??The aura of this sea snake is not too strong, but for Xia En, who is already at the end of his strength, it may be the straw that breaks the camel''s back. Is this destiny? ?Xia En took a deep breath and prepared to give it a try. At the very least, the heads of Tracy and Yan Yan must be sent to the temple. At this time, the sea snake also noticed his presence, and a flash of greed flashed in his pale eyes. Then, it swam closer to Xia En. ??Dark mist accumulates in its abdomen, which is an attack similar to breath. But just when the sea snake opened its mouth. A ray of light suddenly lit up in the darkness. Immediately afterwards, a sharp blade made of brilliance fell from three inches away from the sea snake, easily cutting off its head. Xia En was startled and looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him. Laila? ??It was the elf girl Laila who came to Xia En with the help of teleportation spells. Looking at Xia En in front of her, Laila said softly with excitement. Fortunately, I came in time. Shaan couldn''t help but ask after the surprise: "How did you know I was here?" What happened to An Qi and the other civilians? I left the teleportation coordinates on you. ?Laila suppressed her emotions and said softly: "An Qi and the others have arrived at the palace, and Her Majesty the Queen is organizing people to resist." With the queen here, the palace will definitely be safe. Hearing this, Xia En was stunned. In other words, Laila didn''t know his current situation, but she still teleported him without hesitation. ??If he was being besieged by the heirs and teleported to Laila next to him, how could he be spared? ?But right now, its not time to relax yet. ?Shaan put aside his distracting thoughts and quickly took Laila into the Elf Temple, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. ?Perhaps because the location of the temple is too remote, there are no other elves here. Xia En sighed softly: "We are safe, temporarily." ?Laila was slightly startled, looked around, and asked softly. Wheres the big guy with you? He ??Xia En patted a package next to him and said, "Don''t worry, he''s still alive, but...his current state is a bit scary." Hearing this, Laila wisely did not ask any more questions. ?After suddenly feeling safe, the tense nerves inevitably relaxed a little. Tracey experienced the dangers of the night and soon fell asleep on Shane''s shoulder. ?Shane and Laila sat side by side on the bench in the temple, looking at each other silently for a moment, maintaining a reassuring silence. ?Shaan looked at Laila and found that her temperament had changed a lot. ??This elf girl was originally a little green and immature, but overnight, her brows became a little more determined, and her eyes became bright and clear, abandoning her original weakness. ?Her expression was confused and uneasy, but she forced herself to be strong. ?This attitude is unexpectedly touching. "are you tired?" Xia En thought for a while and said, "If you are tired, you can rest on me for a while." ?Laila hummed softly and leaned lightly on his shoulder. Tracey was sleeping soundly on the other shoulder, but Lyla couldn''t sleep. ?As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the horrific cracks in the air, the destroyed houses, the civilians who died in the black fog, and the title "Daughter of Sinners". ?Did she bring all these disasters? By the way, I remember, when we first met, the goblin said you were from the future? ?Laila opened her eyes, leaned on Shane''s shoulder, and whispered: "Is it true?" ?Shaan nodded. The future, how many years is it from now? Is there peace there? At least thousands of years. Xia En suddenly remembered that there was still something he could do and reminded him. In the future, there will be a great flood that sweeps across the entire world and will also submerge this island. There will be another volcanic eruption that will destroy [Upper City]! That kind of disaster is not much worse than [Gods wrath]! ?Laila was slightly startled when she heard this, and sighed: "So in the future, will this city be so troubled?" "By the way, have you seen the magic lines on my body? They are those dark red lines." Shane continued: "I don''t know the specific principle, but what is certain is that this is the product born from the Emerald Isle." Furthermore, this kind of magic pattern can be used even in the black mist of [Wrath of God]! With that said, Xia En took out several things with magic patterns from the space ring and handed them to Laila. "This is?" ?Laila was shocked and quickly saw the value contained in these magic pattern creations. The reason why the elves have little power to fight back in the black mist is because of its banning effect on "Elven Language". At this time, the existence of this magic pattern will undoubtedly help them tide over the difficulties and greatly reduce the casualties of the residents. While handing out the magic pattern creation, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. ??If the elves start to develop magic patterns after this... ?Doesnt this mean that the magic pattern was born because of himself? ?Then later on, did you also gain the talent of [Chaos Demon Pattern] because of this? ?This seems to constitute a reincarnation, a closed loop, and a paradox of time and space. At this time, Laila asked carefully: "Will you stay here?" ?Xia En was silent for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the statue of the goddess in the center of the temple. There is still a mysterious and meaningful smile on the blurred face of the goddess statue. Xia En suddenly had an idea and said, "I will probably disappear soon, and you may have to walk the rest of the way by yourself." Laila''s heart was extremely complicated. ??This girl looked at Xia En intently, as if she wanted to remember his appearance in her heart. Finally, she opened her arms and hugged Xia En hard. ?The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the first ray of sunlight emerges from the eastern sea, shining on the [Emerald Island], dispelling the ocean-like black fog. Before the sun came, Laila whispered to herself. I will survive! Its only a thousand years, but I am an immortal! ?Her voice became louder and louder, as if she was making some kind of oath. I will continue my research and promote magic patterns and steam technology... I will record the magic I like and share it with you in the future I will save my people and drive out the evil gods! ?The bright golden sunlight fell into the hall, and Xia En''s silver pocket watch began to rotate again. His figure was like a bubble dissipating in the sunlight. Layla''s eyes were filled with pearly tears, which could not stop flowing down. She murmured: "We...will meet again in the future!" "must!" Xia En looked into her eyes and solemnly said: "See you in the future!" The next moment. Silver light enveloped his figure. When Xia En opened his eyes again, he saw the cold and biting sea water and the lonely and empty temple in front of him. As time goes by, only the smile of the goddess statue remains as mysterious as it did a thousand years ago. (End of this chapter) ~ Mothers Day special leave note Special leave note for Mother''s Day An important plot has just ended. Lets organize the following outline and summarize it by the way. In fact, the overall framework of this "past plot" is okay, but the problem is that the pace is too slow, the structure is too loose, and a new map has been changed, and strange new characters have appeared, which has caused the reading to keep falling. The best way to solve this problem is- More updates! As long as the game is updated, the problem of changing maps will be solved. But I have been in a bad state during this period and have been involved in trivial matters, which has disappointed many friends. I am really sorry! (bow) ? Today is Mothers Day, and its also Ah Meows last time off this month! In the next half month, Ah Meow will stick to his position and update as much as possible every day to compensate everyone!

(This chapter will not be deleted) (End of this chapter) Chapter 177 Two new crew members! Encounter [Ember Storm]! Chapter 177 Two new crew members! Encounter [Ember Storm]! All around, there is still cold, clear water. ??The temple is empty, and the cold stone walls bear cracks left by time. ?The city outside the temple is still lonely and solemn, with empty houses like tombstones in a cemetery. ?Under the high ice, the shadows of the magic-patterned sea beasts are still wandering, hunting for outsiders who explore this place. Everything seems to be the same as it was before Shane left. Xia En looked a little dazed. The girl''s body temperature was still in his arms, and there was even a faint fragrance of grass and trees on the tip of his nose. So much so that he couldn''t tell for a moment whether what happened before was an illusion or a real experience. ?But soon, the movement in the package around him brought him back to his senses. Yan Yans head fell out of it, and fresh granules were quietly growing at the break of his neck. Seeing this scene, Xia En was sure The encounter he had not long ago was not his imagination or hallucination, nor was it an afterimage of history. They really went back in time and experienced a malicious [Wrath of God] with the people on the Emerald Island thousands of years ago. ??But Xia En couldn''t explain why he went back to the past? Is it really just because of the power of time and space contained in the silver pocket watch? Why was it inspired in the Elf Temple? Did the mother goddess of elves play any special role in this process? The answers to these questions are unknown to Shane. But one thing is for sure, this all really happened! He did see the beheaded pirate king, fought with many elves in the darkness, and made a promise with a girl named "Laila" to meet again in the future. ?Thinking of this, Xia En was in a trance. ?From the surrounding scenes, it is easy to see that the [Emerald Holy City] is still frozen by solid ice, and the [Upper City] is still submerged in volcanic ash. The "future" he is in has not changed due to the short time travel, nor has it become messy due to the "butterfly effect". So in other words. ?Perhaps...Lyla''s attempt has failed. She failed to change the outcome of the destruction of the elves and the [Emerald Ancient City]. Even she herself might be swallowed up by the long river of time, and the only thing left behind is the notebook placed in the [Ember Shelter]. ?Just realizing this possibility, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a surge of sadness and regret in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the statue of the Elf Goddess in the hall. ?I want to ask Him why fate is so cruel, giving people hope and despair. But at this moment. Xia En suddenly discovered that there was a line of beautiful small characters carved on the stone wall behind the goddess statue. ?This line of words can only be seen when standing under the statue of the goddess and looking up. Xia En looked carefully and found that the handwriting looked strangely familiar. It was written in Common Language. Go find other elven temples, I will wait for you there! Laila] ?Xia En was shocked when he saw this line of words, and his eyes were even a little moist. Although this still could not prove that Laila was still alive, at least it gave him a precious glimmer of hope. ?According to Laila, the elves in the world are not the only ones on the Emerald Island. ?There are other elven ethnic groups scattered in every corner of the Seven Seas, and each ethnic group will set up a specious elven temple. ?Perhaps the secret of traveling through time and space is hidden in these temples! ?Xia En took a deep breath and silently set a small goal in his heart - Find other ruins of the elves and explore the elven temple there! Laila, one day, I will find you. At this time, the [Ship Soul Power] on Xia En''s panel finally dropped to 0, and his eyes fell into darkness. Submarine is over! When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the familiar captain''s cabin. Pushing open the door to the captain''s cabin and walking to the deck, the sea breeze blew gently. Mr. Captain! ??Joy''s voice of surprise sounded not far away, and many familiar crew members also cast their eyes on Shane. Owner! You are back! ?Xiao Hei''s joyful words rang directly in his mind, inexplicably tinged with nostalgia and fear. ?Shane asked Joey: "How long have I been in the captain''s cabin?" "Um?" ?Joy was a little surprised: "Is it about the same time as usual?" ?Shaan took a deep breath. What happened last night seemed to have only passed in a moment in reality. ?Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of the secret power of time and space. ?Looking at Xia En''s expression, Joey became more and more puzzled. Even though they had only been gone for half a day, she felt that Mr. Captains temperament had changed a lot, as if there were many more stories to tell. ??Moreover, for no reason, Joey still had a sense of crisis that came from nowhere, and he guessed in his heart. What happened in the captains cabin just now? Or did someone sneak in quietly? Thats right. ??Shaan didnt know what was going on in Joeys little head, and said to everyone: Tomorrow, I will bring two new crew members on board, and I hope everyone can welcome them. After saying that, he returned to the captain''s cabin again. The fighting in the past night made Xia En quite exhausted. Now, its time to take a short break. ??The two new crew members Xia En mentioned were none other than others. ?It is Yan Yan and Cui Qian. Xia En has taken a fancy to Yan Yan''s ability a long time ago, and after a night of fighting side by side, he also regarded Yan Yan as a trustworthy comrade. ?One more thing. Xia En vaguely sensed that there might be some unexplainable connection between Yan Yan and the salary king. Simply invite him on board. Yan Yan''s situation in [Ice and Snow Island] was already very embarrassing, and after the deaths of Gray and Ruel, he had no reason to return to [Ice and Snow Island]. As for the Fairy Trish Xia En is mostly sympathetic. She has been waiting alone in the empty [Emerald Holy City] for hundreds of years. ?Now, since she has already waited for the person who will unblock the temple, why should she stay here any longer? ??Xia En also persuaded Tracey in this way, but her reaction was a little unexpected. No! Ill wait here! Under the cold sea, Xia En, who once again entered the submersible state, had a strange expression. Really not going? If you go on my boat, you can not only breathe fresh air and see new scenery, but you can also eat delicious meals every day. Delicious Hearing this, Tracy swallowed her saliva and her attitude immediately wavered. Thats right. ??Xia En is good at tempting, with the magic of temptation in his voice: "There is food that is more delicious than that sweet pancake..." Better than sweet pancakes Traceys eyes widened slightly, and she almost answered directly, but soon, she still asked carefully. But what if I want to come back here in the future? Hearing this, Xia En understood what Tracy was hesitating about. On the one hand, there is uneasiness and confusion about the future. On the other hand, it is the attachment to my hometown and the place that I have protected for hundreds of years. ? ? But Xia En has always felt that... ? ? People should always look forward. Rather than letting Tracey be trapped in the past in her memory and trapped in this cold and lonely city, it would be better to set sail toward the future with his ship. So, Xia En said: "You stay on my ship for half a month first. If you feel dissatisfied, I will send you back." What do you think? ? Tracey thought for a moment, and finally stretched out her small palm and pressed lightly on Shane''s finger. "make a deal!" ?Xia En squinted his eyes and smiled. No matter what, lets trick this little goblin into boarding the boat first. If she wants to leave later, she wont be able to leave! Half a month from now on. Shane''s life returned to a brief period of peace. Since the ship spirit level of [Diamond Star] has been raised to LV2. ?Just wait patiently, and this broken ship will begin to heal itself. ??Xia En also took advantage of this time to continue exploring the [Emerald Ancient City] that was submerged in volcanic ash, silently accumulating the secret power of the Chaos Demon Pattern and improving the ship soul experience. As for the rest of the crew ?In addition to daily maintenance, cleaning ships, and hunting sea beasts, Shane also gave them a new task Learn how to sail a boat! ??Although Xia En relies on [Captain''s Majesty], one person can drive the ship as fast as an arm. But as the enemies he encounters become more and more powerful in the future, there will always be times when he has no time to take care of himself. After the crew members learn how to sail, they can cooperate with Xia En to launch an attack or retreat. ?Of course, the reason why Xia En thought of this at this time was, firstly, because a second ship was bound, and secondly, the number of crew members increased. Its funny to say. ?On other pirate ships, you can easily find dozens of people. But the [Black Swan] is fully equipped with only eight people. This "person" still needs a question mark. This day, the weather was sunny and cloudless. ?The sun is shining down from the sky, the sky is clear and clear, and the air seems to be much fresher. ?Shaan stood on the deck of the [Black Swan] and looked at the [Diamond Star] not far away. Under the cool light, this legendary "Noah''s Ark" has undergone changes visible to the naked eye from half a month ago. Those hideous cracks and wounds on the surface of the ship''s hull are all healing themselves under a magical force. The broken masts and broken decks have become completely new. The whole ship also has a high-spirited and uplifting temperament. ??If we say that half a month ago, he was an old man full of pain and might die at any time. ?So now, it seems to have returned to a young adult, with endless energy. This is what the [Diamond Star] should look like! ?Xia En raised a smile on his lips and sighed in his heart. In fact, the [Diamond Star]s injuries have not healed yet, and have only recovered to Durability: 324/500 ??This large ship''s surface injuries are almost healed, but some internal injuries are healing extremely slowly. ?Shaan guessed that this was related to the existence that hurt it back then. ?But, even so. ??With the step-by-step repair of the [Diamond Star], Shane''s attributes in all aspects have once again been greatly improved. Comprehensive quality: 2.42.8! Part of this 0.4 increase comes from the enhanced [Magic Heavy Cannon]. It now has a resounding new name. Magic Light Killing Cannon Quality: Legend Type: Component Description: Heavy artillery powered by magic energy, derived from the magic pattern technology mastered by scholars of the previous era, has undergone a strange transformation under the influence of "filthy crystals". Equipped on a ship, it can increase the "firepower" attribute by 27 points! It can launch a cannon attack after charging itself, or you can pour secret power into it to shoot a beam. The damage value is based on the charging time, the total amount of secret power, and characteristics, resulting in lethality from the third to the fourth level. In the "Liberation" state, the damage effect is doubled! ??The biggest changes to this heavy cannon are that one is the increase in power, and the other is that the Mystic can directly inject secret power into it to reduce the charging time. In this way, the crew on the ship can also provide a powerful long-range attack method. ??Haven''t just stood aside and stared at Xia En while he was fighting the enemy. Okay, its almost time. ??Xia En checked the status of the [Diamond Star], turned his head, and said to the crew on the deck. Its time to set off for the next sea! The self-healing speed of the [Diamond Star] has slowed down. Although the speed has not returned to its peak state, it can barely keep up with the [Black Swan]. It doesnt make much sense to continue to stay here. ?Furthermore, Xia En also noticed a faint sense of urgency from the objects on board the Diamond Star. ?They are eager to find the ship in ghost ship status, make up for its own shortcomings, and retrieve its own ship''s soul. ?Hearing Xia Ens words, Joey asked. Mr. Captain, where are we going next? ?Shaan spread out the nautical chart he got from Ruhr in front of everyone, pointing to a sea area in the south. Go here first, the magnetic sea area! He now has two clear goals. One is to look for the remains of elves. The second is to return to the foggy sea and find the ghost ship. Whether it is the former or the latter, intelligence needs to be collected first. However, the location of [Lenglie Sea] is too remote, and the islands with good information are all in the south. If you want to go south, the first thing you need to pass is this [Magnetic Sea Area]. ??And dont forget, the way Shane improves his career compatibility is to plunder the power of various storms. In this [Magnetic Thunder Sea Area], there will obviously be a storm raging that contains the secret power of magnetic thunder. After that chaotic and dark night, Xia En''s desire for strength once again reached a new peak. The overall quality of ?2.8 seems very strong, but in front of those apostles and gods, he is still just an ant. Only by becoming strong enough can you face all challenges calmly! Small goal, break through the fourth level first! After making up his mind, Xia En immediately controlled the two ships and sailed south one after the other. Black SwanThe long whistle sounded across the ice-covered sea. Just, not long after they set off. Boom! ! A terrible roar suddenly came from an island far away. The whole sea seemed to be shaking. Immediately afterwards, hot magma and towering black smoke erupted from the sunken crater, and came to the sea along with the howling wind. A terrible storm is about to sweep through! (End of this chapter) Chapter 178 Encounter a legend by chance, overall quality is 30! Chapter 178 Encountering a legend by chance, overall quality 3.0! Ship, Captain! The volcano...the volcano has erupted! On the deck, Joey stared blankly at the island not far away, his eyes full of shock. ?Such a massive and terrifying natural disaster, of course, cannot be hidden from Xia En and his party. On top of the island, I saw magma rushing into the sky with billowing black smoke, reaching a height of two to three hundred meters, which was extremely spectacular. ?The sky seemed to be torn apart by this. Seeing this scene, Xia En frowned slightly and looked serious. He knew that there were volcanic islands nearby. After all, the volcanic ash in the [Emerald Ancient City] could not have come out of thin air. But why is it such a coincidence that it happened just when we were about to leave? Xia En glanced at Yan Yan, who was next to Fei Ya not far away. After half a month of cultivation, Yan Yan has grown back a complete body from a head by virtue of his exaggerated self-healing power. Aware of Xia En''s gaze, Yan Yan raised his head and showed a sunny and innocent smile. ?Like a big golden retriever dog. ?Shaan: How long has it been since you could still smile so brightly? As expected of you! To be honest, Xia En couldn''t confirm whether this volcanic eruption had anything to do with Yan Yan leaving this sea area. Perhaps this is the effect brought about by [the blessing of the sea]? ?But now, it is obviously not the time to think deeply. In the sky not far away. The cooled rocks fell like rain, creating a terrifying rain of rocks. When these rocks fell, they were astonishingly powerful, like falling comets, trailing long tails of fire. Its not just that. The howling and surging wind also began to spread the thick black smoke to the sea. There was a burning smell in the air. ?Xia En could feel that the [Storm Power] in his body was about to move. The chaotic magic patterns on the body''s surface light up slightly, seeming to echo the mysterious power spreading all around. ?This is not just a volcanic eruption, but also a storm carrying the secret power of the embers! In this case, as a [Storm Raider], how could Xia En miss this gluttonous feast? ?Thinking of this, Xia En immediately ordered. Everyone except Yan Yan, go to the [Diamond Star] and sail away from this sea area as quickly as possible! ??Joy couldn''t help but ask: "Mr. Captain, what about you?" ??Xia En turned his head and looked at the approaching black clouds not far away, with a smile on his lips. I want to taste the taste of this storm myself! Not long. The Diamond Star went further and further away on the sea, and soon entered safer waters. The [Black Swan] remained not far or near from the ember storm, quietly waiting for its arrival. ?Compared with the pitch-black and fiery black cloud, the hull of the [Black Swan] looked extremely small, as if it was about to be completely swallowed up. ?Looking at this scene, Tracy, who was standing on An''s shoulder, looked worried. Captain Shane, is it really okay? This storm is probably not an ordinary danger! Perhaps because she is an elf, Tracey showed an unusual affinity for this strange man wrapped in armor. ?During the past half month, Tracy was almost stuck to An''s body, almost inseparable, which made Joey a little jealous. She also wants to raise a little fairy like this! At this time, after hearing Tracy''s words, An reached out his hand and gently stroked her little head to soothe her emotions. ?Besides, Joey chuckled and said, "Don''t worry, Mr. Captain never does anything he''s not sure about." "But" Tracy wanted to say something more, but after looking at the others, she suddenly realized ??Whether it was the boy who was prettier than herself or the little dragon that made her instinctively uneasy, neither of them showed any worry. Its like All the crew members on this ship have a strong and blind faith in Sean. ? Tracey couldn''t help but muttered in her heart. What a bunch of weirdos. Both the captain and the crew are weird! ?But at this moment, Tracey forgot that she herself was already one of the captain''s crew. At the same time. Not far from this sea area. ?A steel battleship with iron-gray paint, rigid lines, and a towering bow is breaking through the ice and moving slowly forward on the [Cold Sea]. ?This battleship is larger than any ship that Shane has ever seen or heard of, and even reached the level of an "aircraft carrier" in the previous life. On the coating that is as cold as metal, the [Star Wave] logo with stars and waves coexisting is clearly drawn. This means that this ship belongs to the Federal Navy! No one knows why the federal navy''s warships appear here. But obviously, it did not come to destroy a pirate ship that had disappeared for a long time in the Seven Seas, but to carry out a secret mission. At this time, the volcano erupting on the island not far away and the ember storm raging on the sea were naturally noticed by the secret travelers on the battleship at the first time. Colonel Gold! ?In a control room filled with precision instruments, a uniformed soldier pushed open the door and respectfully reported to the man sitting behind the desk. Twenty nautical miles away from the [King], there is an active volcano erupting violently. The magma and ash brought by the eruption merged with a strange sea breeze to form a storm. ??Colonel named Gord has short light brown hair and an unremarkable appearance. Only a pair of dark gray pupils can make people''s eyes linger for a moment. But no one dares to underestimate him, because he is the youngest colonel in the history of the federal navy! Strange sea breeze? asked Gold, catching the point in his subordinate''s words. What kind of strange method? The subordinate replied: "This sea breeze does not seem to be naturally formed. There are traces of mysterious power in it." Perhaps it is a back-up method of some kind of secret technique. Good observation skills. ??G?rd smiled faintly: "However, it''s not enough." Not only this storm, but also this volcanic eruption is all man-made. Hearing this, the subordinates couldn''t help showing a surprised expression: "Even a volcanic eruption?" The power of the Mystic Path can really reach this level..." ?He stopped before he finished speaking. Because the Colonel Gold in front of him is a seventh-level mystic who can cause such a degree of disaster! There is a huge dividing line between the Secret Pathers before the seventh level and the sixth level. In more ancient times, people would call extraordinary people who had achieved the seventh level Legendary! At this level, one person is worth an army, which can be called a living natural disaster! ??Gord didn''t know what his subordinate was thinking, but he just said it meaningfully. It seems that some shadows of history dont want us to peek into the truth of the past. The subordinate lowered his head silently, not thinking about these incomprehensible words. Gord didnt take it seriously. He originally only said these words to himself. But at this moment. Two small moving dots on the radar screen in front of him attracted Gold''s attention. Its really strange that we can actually encounter two ships in this sea area? Have they been identified? The subordinate shook his head: "Not yet, I will send a lookout to conduct observation." As he said that, he was about to walk out the door. Dont bother, Ill see for myself. ??Gede waved his hand and stopped his subordinate''s movement. The next moment. ?His dark gray eyes suddenly changed, and a mysterious six-pointed star array rotated in them. Subsequently, two faint light screens were projected in front of him. ? What is shown above is the scene of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] on the sea. Huh? Another clerk in the control room couldn''t help but exclaimed after seeing the two ships. Isnt this ship the [Black Swan] that was rumored a while ago? I heard that it sank in the [Insanity Islands], how could it appear here? ??Gede is young and has an approachable personality among the many officers, so the clerk dared to interrupt like a chat. [Black Swan]? Hearing this name, Gord had a playful smile on his face. I have also heard of this name, but now it seems that this captain is more courageous than I thought. Subordinates and clerks quickly understood the meaning of Gold''s words. ?On the light screen, I saw that the ship with the black swan carved on the bow was rushing towards the sky full of fire and black smoke in front of me without dodge. Is this guy crazy? The clerk''s eyes widened and he said with complete incomprehension: "You want to drag the whole ship to bury him with him!?" ???Gold reminded: "It''s not that simple, take a closer look." Hearing this, other people in the control room paid more attention and carefully observed the actions of the [Black Swan]. ?This ship, which seemed to be seeking death, quickly demonstrated agility and agility beyond everyone''s expectations. Thats right, its healthy! It was as if the ship was no longer a dead thing, but a giant beast that moved freely on the sea, easily dodging the magma and rocks falling from the sky. Occasionally, one or two hits that cannot be avoided will land on the rising invisible barrier, unable to cause any damage to the hull. Given the size of this ship, such flexible movements can only be described as incredible. ?However, how many ordinary people can work on the "King"? Even clerks who seem to be ordinary and weak can be said to be well-informed. ?This level of ability to control a ship is not particularly surprising to them. ?Suddenly, an extremely huge rock slammed towards the [Black Swan] from a high place with an unstoppable force. Huge shadow enveloped the entire ship. The subordinate sighed inwardly, feeling that the [Black Swan] was about to come to an end. But at this moment. ?A thick, dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the bow of the [Black Swan] and collided with the boulder falling from above. Even though the light curtain could not transmit the sound, everyone present seemed to hear a loud bang. Immediately afterwards, the rock was torn apart under the beam, disintegrating into countless rubbles and falling into the sea water that was reddened by the firelight. ???Ged couldn''t help but exclaimed: "What a beautiful shot!" Others in the control room were surprised by his praise. ??The young colonel rarely expressed his appreciation so directly. The soldier next to him also murmured: "At least a fourth-level blow, the power can even approach the fifth level!" And the timing and angle are all just right! The firepower on that ship turned out to be so intense? ?However, what surprised everyone was not over yet. They saw clearly As the [Black Swan] sailed in the storm filled with thick smoke and ashes, a mysterious force that could be captured with the naked eye gathered around the hull as if attracted by a black hole. On the surface of the ship''s hull, dark red lines gradually appeared, flickering brightly and dimly. It is both like the veins in the human body and the pipes that support the operation of machinery. When anyone sees this change, they can understand that they are absorbing those secret powers and becoming stronger through it! ??The clerk who had expressed doubts before suddenly stood up and exclaimed. Oh my God, its absorbing the power of the storm! No wonder it wants to break into this storm, thats why. Everyone''s expressions changed subtly. ?They have never seen this scene before! ??Is there any ship that can absorb the power of a storm? To be honest, when they heard the name [Black Swan], most people in the control room felt a little contempt in their hearts. The reason is simple. They are the Federation Navy! This ship is the "King"! ??What does it mean to be a pirate ship with some reputation? But after seeing its performance in [Ember Storm] with their own eyes, their mentality has undergone subtle changes. In any case, this ship has shown them extraordinary potential. Some clerks began to secretly speculate on Colonel Gold''s intention. Do you hope to destroy this ship, or do you have other arrangements? ?But at this time, Gord didn''t think much about it at all. In fact, this is really just a coincidence. ??He discovered these two ships nearby by coincidence. Coincidentally, a junior knew the name [Black Swan], and coincidentally used his secret ability to check it out. Its that simple. It is just the intention of the superiors, which will always be misinterpreted and interpreted by the people below. ??Gord is used to this. ?At this time, he slightly adjusted the angle of the light curtain, intending to take a look at the captain of the ship. ?In the picture, a handsome, upright man is standing next to the steering wheel, facing the raging fire, rain and storm in front of him. ?His face and arms also had a large number of dark red lines, making him look like a **** or demon. ?This terrible ember storm was like a delicious meal to him. At this moment, he is savoring and chewing carefully. Suddenly. The captain raised his head and looked at the sky above. ?His gaze seemed to penetrate the light curtain, staring at Gord in the control room. ?For a moment, Gord was in a trance. Through those eyes, countless illusions came one after another, and the sound of waves in the ears kept coming and going. ??Moreover, a piece of dark sea water swallowed up his consciousness. ??And in the deepest part of the sea, Gord seemed to see a deeply hidden, blue eye. Soon, he remembered a sentence. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you! The next moment. ?The light curtain suddenly split into pieces and turned into chaotic fluorescence. Everyone around was shocked. ? Even if it was only for a moment, this was the first time they saw a rude look on Gold''s face. The other side. ?Xia En withdrew his gaze, touched his chin, and muttered to himself. I always feel like someone is spying on me. Is it an illusion? ?He couldn''t figure it out for a while, so he stopped thinking about it and focused on plundering the [Storm Power]. I dont know how long it has been. The numbers on the panel jump again. Comprehensive quality: 2.83.0! (End of this chapter) Chapter 179 [After a disaster, there is still a disaster] Chapter 179 [After disaster, there is still disaster] ?Black smoke billowed, rain of fire fell from the sky, and icebergs melted, making it seem like the scene of the end of the world. ??But on the sea that was reflected red by the firelight, the breath of [Black Swan] and Xia En thrived like vegetation under the sun and rain, like young animals sucking milk. Comprehensive quality: 2.83.0! Talent: Chaos Demon Pattern (Precious) (Epic)! Black Swan "Mysterious" +2! Current "Storm Power": no attributes (0), extreme cold (0), embers (1)! Career fit: 50%! Looking at the text that appeared on the panel, Xia En clenched his fist. ?The secret power as hot as magma was slowly flowing through his body, and gradually subsided and disappeared. ??The corners of Xia En''s mouth raised slightly. The harvest from this plundering storm was quite rich. Not only has the overall quality been improved, but the quality of the talent [Chaos Demon Pattern] has also been upgraded to epic! More importantly. ?This plundering storm made Xia En clearly feel that he had taken a big step towards the fourth level. Some kind of barrier in the dark is being pried away. It seems that we need to speed up the search for special storms. ??Xia En muttered to himself, and then patted the steering wheel in front of him. How are you, Xiao Hei, are you full? When were full, we should leave. ??Although the feeling of being spied on just now was not obvious, it did not seem to be malicious. But Xia En was keenly aware that the opponent''s strength was definitely far superior to his own. Instinct told him that the most correct choice now is to leave this sea area as soon as possible! The long whistle of [Black Swan] sounded in response to Xia En''s question. Then, its sails flapped in the strong wind, and the steam turbine deep in the cabin made a heartbeat-like sound. The speed of the entire ship immediately soared, racing wildly on the sea. During this process, the dark red magic patterns on the surface of the ship''s hull lit up. ?Under the radiance of the sky fire, the [Black Swan] seemed to suddenly ignite a blazing flame, roaring and roaring in the rising firelight, and sailed forward in an indomitable manner. In front of the helm, the handsome captain was smiling and high-spirited, as if he had become the master of the storm. On the deck, Yan Yan stared at this scene in a daze, and his mind was shaken. ?He vaguely understood Captain Shane''s purpose of leaving himself on the ship. ??On [Ice and Snow Island] and the [Emerald Island] in the past, Yan Yan only saw Xia En as a warrior and leader. But now, he could really feel Xia En''s indomitable ambition as a captain. ?That is the dream to conquer the stars and the sea! ?Before leaving this sea area, Yan Yan glanced at the direction of [Ice and Snow Island] with complicated eyes. No matter what, he has to leave this island where he has lived for hundreds of years. Although this island is as cold as its name most of the time, it also imprisons itself like a cage. But those experiences, whether beautiful or cruel, seemed to be engraved deep in his body and could never be forgotten. ?And Yan Yan clearly knew that there were still some vague memories in his mind. In that memory, the flame still occupied most of the time. What is slightly clearer is the last fragment of memory In my ears, there was the chaotic and noisy sound of fighting. ?Beside him, there were shadowy figures that looked like guards, and buildings whose appearance was unclear were burning and collapsing all around. In the distance, there are twisted, dim, phantom-like city streets. And the thing sitting under him seemed to be a... What is this picture from? No matter how much Yan Yan thinks about it, he can''t remember it. Suddenly, he felt an unprecedented dull pain in his mind, which prevented him from thinking. Yan Yan closed his eyes, opened them again, and turned his head to look in the direction of the volcanic eruption. ?After such a long time, the momentum of the volcanic eruption has actually gradually weakened, but it is still spitting out magma and black smoke, making bursts of roaring sounds. Previously, Yan Yan only felt that the roar was noisy. ?But now, he actually heard a strange message from the roar, like the whisper of a volcano. It was as if the volcano was saying goodbye to him We will meet again... When you wake up again, all the rebels shall die! Yan Yan''s expression was blank. He didn''t know why he understood the sound of the volcano, nor did he understand the information in these words. Xia En vaguely noticed something strange about Yan Yan and looked back at him, thoughtfully. ??The eruption of this volcano may have a lot to do with Yan Yan''s departure. but ?So what? Everyone has a secret. Shane had it, and so did his crew. At least for now, Yan Yan is his crew member, which is enough. On the other side, Yan Yan said to himself in his heart: "No matter who I was in the past, I am now a crew member of the [Black Swan], that''s all." The two of them looked at each other knowingly and continued to maintain a tacit silence. King, in the control room. After a brief loss of composure, Gord''s expression returned to normal. But other people in the room couldn''t suppress their weird expressions. After all, that was Colonel Gold! He is a seventh-level powerhouse who can be called a "legend"! ??The captain of the [Black Swan], who was only at the fourth level at best, actually made Colonel Gold lose his mind for a moment. Based on this alone, the other party can already be proud. After hesitating for a long time, the soldier who had reported the situation finally couldn''t bear the silence in the room and asked. Colonel Gold, what now? Are we going to take action against that ship? Its still on the federal wanted list after all. Hearing this, Gord came back to his senses from his stone-like state of thinking. He shook his head and said, "No need." ??The young colonel chuckled and said: "I only remembered the name of this ship because of a junior''s request." Unexpectedly, this captain really brought me a big surprise. younger generation? Hearing this, people present began to think wildly. The clerk who recognized the Black Swan recalled the "Platinum Knight" Carles, who was said to have some connection with the ship. ?As far as he knows, Colonel Gold is the creator of the [Platinum Knight]! The Creator, as the name suggests, is the master who created the "Platinum Knight". According to common sense. ?The strength of a steam knight like Carles will be fixed at the moment of "leaving the factory", just like those low-level steam humanoids in the "Rust Wasteland". But Carles is different. From the day it was created, it has been getting stronger and stronger. From the first level to the second level, and then from the second level to the third level ?Now, the [Platinum Knight] has crossed the threshold of the fourth level and seems to be able to continue to become stronger. There are even rumors that Carles has obtained special technology from the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] and wants to become one of the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. No matter which way you say it, it is recognized that Carles has a bright future in the Federation. ?Colonel Gold mentioned this matter at this time, probably to express his attitude towards the [Black Swan]. At the same time, he was also warning the vampires in this room. ??This clerk''s thinking was quick, and he figured out the whole story in just a moment, and secretly glanced at the vampire colleague next to him with his peripheral vision. As an important warship of the Federation Navy, the position on the "King" has always been competed by various forces. It is normal for the Vampires to place a few people here. ?However, no vampire who can get into this position is a fool. They quickly understood what Colonel Gold meant and were as quiet as a few quails. Mr. Clerk sighed secretly. ??Can''t these vampires be a little bit stupid? He also wanted to see a good show! We have serious business to do when we come to [Lengliehai] this time, so there is no need to waste energy on such trivial matters. Colonel Gold stood up, his dark gray eyes finally showing the majesty of a lion. Now, head north at full speed! Our destination is the far north! ?Most people on the ship know that there is an area called the "Ultra North" further north of the "Cold Sea". ?There are boundless ice fields there. Cold is the only theme of that land. Buried under the ice are scientific research stations from the old era and relics of explorers. The reason why the name "Far North" became well-known in the Federation was that a month ago, federal experts deciphered a document from the legacy of the old era. A few of these sentences made everyone pay attention to this land that they had almost forgotten Great flood, coming from the far north. Another passage is... After a disaster, there is still a disaster. After the flood, there will still be a flood! Even though the following paragraphs seemed like irresponsible prophecies made by some magician, they still attracted the attention of the top federal officials. ??The current situation of the old era civilization being submerged by floods is still **** before people''s eyes. ?Those ruins buried deep in the sea remind the rulers of the Federation all the time how terrible the real disaster is. Compared with the civilizations of previous generations, the civilizations that have appeared on various islands now can only be described as immature. It is like a newly born baby that happens to get the "milk" of the old era, and then grows rapidly. But essentially, it is still very fragile. No one hopes that another great flood will sweep across the world and destroy the new civilization again. standby and the number of people in the area have been restored. Xia En naturally knows nothing about the secrets in the Federation and the purpose of the "King". He didnt even know that [the Far North] was the source of the great flood. At this time, Xia En had just sailed out of the area covered by the [Ember Storm], and before he merged with the [Diamond Star], he saw a scene that he would never forget. I saw a huge, dark gray steel battleship sailing toward the north on the northwest sea. ?Its high bow is like a mountain floating on the ice sea, bringing an extremely powerful sense of oppression. It has thick armor, a towering chimney, a unique bridge structure, and a multi-mounted turret that is reminiscent of the main gun of a battleship. Due to its huge size, its speed does not seem to be very fast. But its progress is so natural and natural. The waves, icebergs and ice fields ahead were all broken and crushed like fragile foam boards, demonstrating pure and powerful violence. Nothing can stop the progress of this giant ship, not even for a minute or a second. ?It is the king of this sea! Looking at this scene, Xia En was shaken and his eyes showed shock. Inexplicably, he remembered the situation when he had just traveled through time and returned from his first trip to sea. At that time, he also looked at the [Blood Duke], which was several times larger than the [Black Swan], with the same eyes, standing like a minion. Now, times have changed. [The Blood Duke] has sunk in the sea and has become history forever. The [Black Swan] becomes bigger and stronger as it fights and strengthens again and again. ?Thinking of this, Xia En felt eager in his heart. One day, [Black Swan] will be able to grow to the level of this steel battleship! At this moment, Xiao Heis voice sounded in Xia Ens heart. Master, that ship is so beautiful... The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched. ?It seems that you dont need to remind yourself, [Black Swan] already has a new goal. ?However, as the hull level of the [Black Swan] increases, the total amount of strengthening materials required increases again. To put it bluntly, it means becoming more edible. Including the [Gluttony Monarch] waiting for food deep in the cabin and the consumption of each crew member, it can be said that the supplies consumed every day are getting bigger and bigger. Not to mention, there is now one more [Diamond Star] to maintain. If youre not a householder, you dont know how expensive firewood and rice are! ?Xia En sighed and an idea came to his mind. It would be nice if there were a few more blind pirate ships. After a brief sigh of relief, Xia En quickly rendezvoused with the Diamond Star and continued southward to the Magnetic Sea Area according to the original plan. As for the encounter with this steel battleship, it was just a small episode after all. A few days later. On a lavender sea surface, the mysterious power of lightning and magnetic field is particularly active here. ?Thick black clouds are piled high in the sky. ??Rumble ??A low muffled thunder rolled, and after a brief silence, there was a loud bang, and a terrifying tree-shaped lightning flashed through the clouds. ?This is not a sign of an approaching storm, but thunder is almost everywhere in this sea area. For ordinary ships, this sea area can be called a "forbidden zone"! ?Just today, more than one ship broke into this place. ?On the undulating sea surface, two ships with very different shapes happened to be rushing in tandem. The thing in front is obviously a pirate ship, with a purple lightning drawn on the sail. The ship at the rear is a beautiful mechanical ship with a silver-white hull, with an obvious federal style. It is the [Thunder Horn] and the [Heron Horn]! At this time, "Thunder Fang" Loren on the deck of [Thunder] looked disgraced and couldn''t help roaring behind him. Its been three months, why are you still chasing me? (End of this chapter) Chapter 180 Meeting old friends Chapter 180 Meeting old friends Speaking of Loren''s experiences in the past three months, I can only describe it with a handful of bitter tears. Having offended the vampires on Silver Moon Island, Loren had already made plans to escape at sea for a period of time. But he didnt expect that his escape would last three whole months! The situation was the most dangerous in the first month. ?Not only the federal [hunting ships], but also some past enemies and pirate ships who wanted to take advantage of the situation came one after another, wanting to use his head in exchange for a bounty. So much so that Loren was in danger several times and almost died during the siege. Fortunately, he finally got through it and managed to break through to the third level in the middle of the process! ?After that, there were far fewer ships chasing him. After all, Loren''s strength has improved, but the reward has not changed. With such a small amount of money, why are you risking your life? ?In this case, there is only one ship still pursuing the "Thunder", and that is the "Heron" driven by Lan. Loren thought that her experience in the promotion ritual had created a small friendship with her. Just think about it, let yourself go, wouldnt everyone be happy? Who would have thought that just after leaving the mysterious [Secret Sea] space, the [Heron] would come over in a menacing manner. Not only did Lan kill many pirates on the ship, but he also fought with Loren, causing both sides to lose. In the next two months, the [Heron] hung behind the [Thunder] like a hungry wolf, chasing after it and launching a surprise attack from time to time. The pirates on board the Thunder were severely damaged and exhausted, and they did not even have time to complete a decent supply. ?However, [Heron] is not feeling well either. Such a high-intensity pursuit is a huge burden on both the captain and the crew. To this day, both sides are actually relying on willpower to survive. ?For Loren and Lan, escaping from each other''s hands and catching each other have become their obsessions, and they have to decide the outcome. From a certain perspective, it sounds like they are in love and killing each other. At this moment. The bow of the Heron. ?Captain Lan, who had a huge pair of swords hanging on his waist, looked pale and his breath was obviously sluggish. Even so, she still kept her spirits up, stared at the [Thunder] ahead with sharp eyes, and at the same time asked the first mate beside her. How much ammunition do we have left? The first mate had extremely dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he hadn''t had a good rest for a long time, but he still answered immediately. There is less than one box left. Wheres the food and water? It can last up to three days. Hearing this, Lan Chang let out a breath: "It seems that [Thunder Horn] is more resilient than I thought." The first mate hesitated for a moment and then spoke. Captain Lan, we have now sailed into the [magnetic sea area]. Im afraid this was intentional by the Thunder Tooth Loren! In this sea area, [Thunder]s capabilities will be greatly enhanced, but we will be limited by thunder and lightning. Besides, recently, because of the leak of the [Norwich Treasure], the number of pirate ships in the [Magnetic Sea Area] is constantly increasing. Thunder Fang Loren probably wanted to take advantage of this to fish in troubled waters and escape. At these words, Lan''s face, which was cut like a knife and an ax, was not much surprised, but instead showed a smile. This just shows that...[Thunder] has also run out of gas! Otherwise, he would not have thought of escaping in this way. "and" Lan paused for a moment and sighed. He has [Magnetic Sea Area] as support, dont we have reinforcements? ?Her tone was a little unwilling and helpless. ?According to Lan''s original intention, he wanted to rely on his own strength to arrest the "Thunder" in a dignified manner. ??But as the captain of the Federation, her actions for such a long time had no results, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction from above. ?So, the Federation sent another [Hunting Ship], preparing to attack the [Thunder] in the [Magnetic Sea Area]. Calculating the time it took for the news to arrive, the [Hunting Boat] should be arriving soon. ?Besides, the first mate quickly figured out the meaning behind these words and couldn''t help but look happy. ?The pursuit over the past three months has not been pleasant at all for the crew. ?Seeing his expression, Lan sighed in her heart again. Even the first mate is like this, let alone the other crew members below. Perhaps ending this hunt as soon as possible is the most correct choice. The first mate asked carefully: "Which [hunting ship] is coming to support this time?" Lan said calmly: "[White Dove]!" ifier The first mates expression changed slightly: Its Lord Julian who is here in person! ?It''s no wonder he was a little panicked. In the federal navy, the "White Dove" was much more famous than the "Heron". Even though its name is a white dove that symbolizes peace, its captain Julian "Bloody Hand" is an out-and-out killer! ?Julians most famous saying is Kill all your enemies and peace will come! When fighting pirates, Julian was almost never merciful and never took prisoners. The name "bloody hands" comes from this. Furthermore, although Julian, like Lan and Loren, is a third-level secret path user. But there are also gaps between the three levels. It has only been two months since Lan and Loren broke through to the third level, but Julian has stayed at the third level for a full five years. The depth of the secret power and the level of control are so different! ??If they were to face Julian, they might not be able to make three moves and would be defeated. There are even rumors that Julian will soon enter the promotion ritual and attack the fourth-level secret path! ?Aware that such a strong man was about to arrive, the first mate breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the [Thunder] in front of him with pity. Just, at this moment. The first mate noticed that another three-masted sailboat quietly appeared on the sea not far away. Hmm? [Siren]? Lan raised his eyebrows and said with a clear look: "Loren, is this the help you found? It''s really not enough." At this time, what appeared next to the [Thunder] was the [Siren] carrying many hybrid sea monsters. Since it was also on the wanted poster, Lan Yisan recognized it at a glance. The first mate frowned slightly: "I heard that its captain, ''Ye Ji'' Alyssa, has disappeared for a while, and now it seems that she has broken through to the third level." Captain Lan, do you want to hide for a while? "unnecessary." Lan shook his head resolutely, and then looked in a direction behind him with complicated eyes. Because our reinforcements have also arrived! Behind the Heron, a dark red mechanical ship broke through the lavender waves and roared towards the front. The bow of the "Thunder". Loren also saw the steamship that seemed to be stained red with blood. His expression changed and he cursed. Damn it! Its [White Dove]! He did not hesitate and immediately conveyed the message to the [Siren] not far away. The message is extremely simple, only one word Escape! Immediately, Loren activated the ability of [Thunder Protection] and blessed the [Thunder Horn] with his own secret power. The surface of the ship''s hull was filled with thunderous lightning, and it exploded at an astonishing speed, heading towards the depths of the [Magnetic Thunder Sea Area]. ?Alyssa on the [Siren] not far away also had a sudden change of expression and used her own abilities to escape quickly. No pirate wants to fall into the hands of the White Dove! Furthermore, both of them knew that with the speed of the White Dove, it was only a matter of time before they were overtaken. The only chance of survival lies in the storm in the [Magnetic Sea Area]! ?Only by taking advantage of the raging storm, [Thunder] and [Siren] can escape. Perhaps the two of them were lucky. ?Not long after they sailed into the [Magnetic Sea Area], the wind began to rise on the sea. One big wave after another began to stir. ?The clouds drooped heavily, the sea was as black as a mirror, and from time to time, thick thunder and lightning fell on the sea. Gradually, raindrops began to fall from the sky. I have to say that in this sea area where the mysterious power of thunder attribute is rich. ??Loren and his [Thunder] were indeed at home like a fish in the water, always maintaining an exaggerated speed, traveling through the undulating sea like a bolt of lightning. But when he turned his head and looked behind him, his mood gradually sank to the bottom. The speed of [White Dove] is actually not slower than him! ?Furthermore, the [White Dove] seems to have temporarily let go of the [Siren] and regards the [Thunder] as its main target. The distance between the two is shortening at an extremely fast speed! But the worst part is ??Loren turned around and scanned the crew on the deck. At this time, there were only a dozen pirates left on such a large pirate ship, and almost everyone was injured and exhausted. Anyone who has been hunted for three months will be in this state. ??Although their eyes are bright and they have experienced blood and fire, given time, they will definitely become very good warriors. But at least now, these people are almost incapable of fighting, and even controlling cables and artillery is quite laborious. On the other hand, on the side of the White Dove, the crew members are all recharged and in top condition. ?Especially the captain at the bow, whose sharp gaze like a wild wolf seemed to fall on Loren through the wind, waves and thunder. It seems that this time, I really have to explain it here. ??Loren sighed, preparing to gather strength for the final struggle. ?His character has always been like this, never giving up until the last moment! While accumulating secret power, many figures flashed through Loren''s mind. There are parents, there are friends, there is "Ye Ji" Alisa, there is the steam priest Feiya, and there is also the captain of the "Heron" Lan... But in the end, for some reason, Loren remembered the [Shadowless Shadow] he saw in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. ?Oh no, not just the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], but also the third-level promotion ritual. Even though they never said a word to each other, the posture and scene of [Shadowless Shadow] during the battle were deeply engraved in Loren''s heart. In fact, Loren "Thunderfang" himself is a very proud man. This can also be seen from some of his previous arrogant actions. Whether it was in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] or the [Promotion Ritual], the [Shadowless Shadow] was like an unstoppable chariot, crushing his pride. At the same time, Loren also had some strange yearning. It would be great if I could be like that... What would he do if he were here? No, Im not the [Shadowless Shadow], Im myself! ?Thinking of this, Loren felt a different kind of pride in his heart. ?He opened his eyes suddenly, purple thunder entangled his body surface, his momentum continued to rise, and he shouted loudly to the [White Dove] behind him. Julian the Bloody Hand, if you want to kill me, go ahead! ??Boom! At this moment, dark clouds rolled wildly in the sky, and electric snakes spread out in a large number of small areas. Along with deafening roars, countless purple-blue thunder and lightning struck the sea. ??The dark and gloomy sea surface was suddenly as bright as day. ?This vision only increased Loren''s momentum. And soon, something happened that made all the crew members of the [Thunder] unbelievable. The White Dove, which was originally chasing them, actually gradually slowed down, then turned its bow and galloped away in the opposite direction as if to escape. Seeing this scene, not to mention the other crew members, even Loren himself was stunned. ?His words were just for fun and to encourage him. How come the White Dove was really scared away by him? ??Loren didn''t know why, but he couldn''t help laughing. Haha, did you see it? This is your captains arrogance! I scared Julian away with just one sentence! As expected of me Ship, captain! Loren''s laughter was interrupted by a pirate''s trembling exclamation: "Quick...look behind you!" What? ??Loren turned his head to look, and was stunned for a moment. He saw a ship. ?Amid the rays of thunder and surrounded by waves tens of meters high, a large, dark ship sailed from the depths of the [Magnetic Thunder Sea]. ?It is covered with blue-purple thunder, the flickering magic patterns seem to be breathing, the sails are beating like a curtain that blocks the sky, and the whistle of the whistle resounds throughout the sea. At its bow, a black swan statue fluttered its wings and was about to fly! Its [Black Swan]!! ?At this point, even the dullest crew member can understand - What allowed the [White Dove] to retreat without a fight was this ship that moved forward proudly in the storm! Loren opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time. Not only the crew on the Thunder, but Alyssa on the Siren was also stunned. ??Although the bow statue of this ship is so eye-catching, it is completely different from the [Black Swan] in Alyssa''s impression. Enter the White Dove. ?Julian stood on the bow of the ship, as motionless as a sculpture. Although he has a cruel nickname like "Bloody Hand", his appearance is actually quite handsome. Only when he smiles does he give people a strange sense of crisis. At this time, a sailor couldn''t help but asked: "Captain Julian, let''s just forget it?" Theres just one more [Black Swan], so why retreat? There were many people on the boat who had the same doubts. Some time ago, [Black Swan] indeed gained quite a reputation on the Seven Seas. But its captain is just a third-level mystic. ?With Julians strength approaching the fourth level, shouldnt it be easy to deal with him? Hearing this, Julian just continued to stare at the ship in the storm, and then spoke after a long time. Intuition. Intuition tells me that unless I advance to the fourth level, I cannot be his opponent. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. No one on board the White Dove would doubt the captain''s judgment. ?But the captain named Xia En, didn''t he just break through the third level not long ago? Two months, is it comparable to Julians five years of accumulation? ?This kind of talent is a bit too scary. (End of this chapter) Chapter 181 Career compatibility 75, [Norwich Treasu Chapter 181: Career compatibility 75%, [Norwich Treasure] Although everyone on board the White Dove was unwilling to do so, Julian had said so, so they had no choice but to give up and silently exit the [Magnetic Sea Area]. ?Of course, the [White Dove] may not have given up the pursuit of the [Thunder]. But when the [Black Swan] is present, it will not take action again. Not far away, looking at the retreating "White Dove", the captain of the "Heron", Lan, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the [Thunder Horn] and thought to herself. Next time we meet, I will defeat you openly! Black Swan ?Shaan neither knew nor cared about the thoughts of other people in this sea area. At this time, he was standing on the bow deck of the ship, with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling slowly. ??If it weren''t for the dark clouds above his head, the roaring of thunder on the surrounding sea, and the rising and falling of the waves, most people would think that he was taking a nap in the warm afternoon sunshine! ??Boom! Suddenly, a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket crashed down from the pitch-black clouds, landing directly on the Black Swan, which was half metal and half wood. ??The sizzling lightning exploded immediately, turning into snakes of lightning that swam on the deck, mast, and hull. ?Seeing that the components on the ship were about to turn black under the ravages of the lightning arc, Xia En suddenly snorted coldly. thorn la la ?The Razer, which was showing its ferocious look one second and was ready to wreak havoc, seemed to be greatly frightened the next second, restrained its power and crawled down obediently. Soon, an attraction radiated from the hulls of Shane and the [Black Swan], gradually absorbing these peaceful snakes. 70% of it was absorbed into Xia En''s body. The remaining 30% will be absorbed by the magic pattern on the [Black Swan]. The auras of both of them are becoming thicker and thicker, like a deep abyss or a mountain, and seem to carry the majesty of thunder. Then, Xia En opened his eyes. ??A blue-purple electric light flashed in his eyes, illuminating the boat. ?Subsequently, the electric light gradually distorted and changed, and finally turned into a strange character, which disappeared in Xia En''s eyes. Comprehensive quality: 3.053.17! Black Swan "Mysterious" +2! Current "Storm Power": No attributes (2), Extreme Cold (0), Embers (1), Magnetic Thunder (1)! Career fit: 75%! This time, did it only increase by 0.12? Looking at the information appearing on the panel, Xia En was thoughtful. It seems that the strengthening effect of the power of the storm will also decrease as the number of plunders increases. Xia En was a little regretful, but not surprised. On the way to [Magnetic Sea Area], he also encountered two ordinary storms. The combined increase in overall quality was only 0.05! However, the distance compatibility has reached 100%, and only the last special storm is left, which can be regarded as another step towards the fourth level. ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. ?This special storm cannot be found just by looking for it. ?After plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he really doesnt know where to look for the last special storm. Another thing worth mentioning is. ?After this plundering storm, mysterious characters representing [magnetic thunder] condensed in Xia En''s eyes, and he had a certain degree of control over thunder and lightning. ?This made Xia En realize something. ??Whether it is a magic pattern or a character, it is essentially an extension of words. If you master it, you can master the corresponding secret power. The reason why such characters did not appear when plundering [Arctic Storm] and [Ember Storm] was probably because he did not understand these two secret powers thoroughly enough. Furthermore, [Magnetic Thunderstorm] is relatively simple and crude. Just when Xia En was about to delve deeper into one or two. On the deck, a translucent figure gradually appeared, peeking at him quietly. Vivian? ?Xia En looked at the corner strangely. woo! No, not me! Miss Ghost was startled. She waved her hands hurriedly and her figure quickly faded, as if she wanted to hide. Since Xia En wanted to absorb the power of [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he was worried that it would affect other crew members, so he did the same thing and asked them to take shelter on the [Diamond Star]. ?However, Vivians crystal coffin was placed on the Black Swan, and she couldnt leave even if she wanted to. In fact, during the last raid on [Ember Storm], Vivian was also hiding in the cabin, but she never showed up. ??Furthermore, since Xia En returned from the Elf Temple, Vivian''s attitude has become a little weird. She rarely appeared in front of Xia En, as if she had truly become a ghost, and her presence was greatly reduced. ?Even during several meals, she refused to show up. This point is enough to show that the situation is not simple. But behind the scenes, Vivian would secretly peek at Xia En like she did today. ?Such a contradictory attitude really puzzled Xia En. Actually, Xia En also had some guesses in his heart. Vivians secret profession is [Witch of Annihilation], which is inextricably linked to the destruction of the elves. ?Perhaps she just noticed the change in Xia En''s return to the past, and her attitude became a little strange. Looking back now. ??It may not be a coincidence that Vivian''s Crystal Coffin appears together with [Laila''s Magical Notes] in [Ember Sanctuary]. At the moment, there happens to be no other crew members on board. Xia En simply walked up to Miss Ghost and asked directly. Why have you been avoiding me during this time? Ouch! Vivian is not very courageous to begin with. ?At this time, Xia En still had the power of thunder that could best restrain creatures like ghosts, which frightened her so much that her eyes turned red and tears flowed down. Xia En was dumbfounded. Ghost, can you still cry? ??Normal ghosts probably wouldn''t cry, but Vivian can even eat, so she can''t explain it with common sense. ?But when Vivian cried, Xia En was really numb. Whether he was in his previous life or this life, he did not have much experience in dealing with this situation. Vivian, please stop crying, okay? Im just asking, I wont hurt you. Wooooreally? Vivian wiped her tears and raised her head carefully and asked. Xia En vowed: "Of course, I am your captain!" "But you have to tell me what''s going on with you these days, right?" Vivian said after receiving Xia En''s assurance. More than half a month ago, I suddenly remembered something. "I seem to...have seen you a long, long time ago, and that big man with fire all over his body." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Have seen myself and Yan Yan! ? Could it be said that Vivian was also a resident of the Emerald Island and a survivor of the Wrath of God? But when asked about [Emerald Island], Vivian looked confused and did not recall any new memories. Xia En looked at Vivian''s face, but her face was still covered with an invisible veil, making it impossible to see her true appearance. Simply put, Xia En can only see that she is good-looking. But I dont know where it is good-looking or to what extent it is good-looking. ??Only that feeling of dj vu lingers. Suddenly, Xia En had a bold guess in his heart He and Vivian may have met in the future! ??If it can be said that the Elf Temple has a backup plan to temporarily return to the past, then it is possible for Xia En to return to the past again in the future. ?He and Vivian may have had a relationship at that time. ?Of course, this guess is a bit outrageous, and even Xia En cannot be sure. Just when Xia Ens thoughts were ups and downs. Vivian reminded: "Captain Shane, there are two pirate ships approaching!" Xia En came to his senses belatedly and looked towards the sea. ?In the calming storm, [Siren] and [Thunder] are slowly approaching [Black Swan]. ?That cautious and slow gesture, as if afraid of causing any misunderstanding. Its actually them! ?Xia En was a little surprised, but a smile appeared on his lips. He had noticed the presence of other ships on the sea before, but he was too absorbed in the pleasure of plundering the storm to observe them carefully. After all, the hull of the [Black Swan] has grown larger than these two ships now. Among ships of the same size, the performance of the [Black Swan] is the strongest! ??The two pirate ships that were so feared in the past no longer pose the slightest threat to Xia En now. It didnt take long. ?Shaan invited "Thunder Tooth" Loren and "Ye Ji" Alyssa to the deck of the [Black Swan]. ?Xia En sighed with emotion when he saw the two people who were already third-level secret pathers. Its been a long time since we said goodbye to [Silver Moon Island]. He was emotional, and Loren and Alyssa were even more emotional. When we first met, the [Black Swan] was still an unknown ship, and Xia En himself was only a first-level mystic. Alyssa also boarded the [Black Swan] and showed her strength, trying to take Joey away from the ship. ?Now, looking at the brand new ship, Loren and Alyssa both looked a little dazed. From this ship, you can still vaguely see some shadows of the past. ??But whether its the towering side of the ship, the main guns covered with magic patterns, or the flat and neat deck, they are all full of extraordinary charm. And, the most terrifying thing is... The moment the two stepped onto the deck, they felt a mysterious gaze at the same time. It''s like...the ship is staring at them! ??Once the two of them show any abnormal behavior, the ship seems to launch a fierce offensive without Xia En taking action. Not only the ship, but also the changes in Shane himself shocked Loren and Alyssa. Especially Alyssa. ??During that meeting, she was able to overpower Xia En with the aura of a second-level mystic, showing off a very sophisticated space spell and gaining the upper hand. ?But at this moment, Xia En was like a dark abyss in her eyes, and she couldn''t see through it at all. Only a little of the power of thunder can be seen remaining on his body. ??Alyssa even doubted that if there was a real fight, she wouldn''t be able to take even one of Xia En''s moves. It seems that the rumors about the [Black Swan] are all true However, arent we all third-level secret path practitioners? Alyssa sighed in her heart and thought: "How can the gap between people be so big?" Besides, the speed of his breakthrough is too fast, isnt it? To be fair, Alyssa and Loren have been promoted very quickly, and they are like geniuses among pirates. ?At this time, although the two of them were a little tired, the vigor of their breaths was not comparable to that of Silver Moon Island. But in front of Xia En, there is still a gap between a firefly and a bright moon. Aware of this, the eyes of this "Ye Ji" were quite complicated. She had to admit that the former little captain had grown to the point where she needed to look up to him. Alyssa and Loren looked at each other and could see the shock in each other''s eyes. At this time, Loren completely understood why the White Dove, which had a notorious reputation on the Seven Seas, retreated without a fight. Its been a long time indeed. ??Loren was very thick-skinned, and his expression soon returned to normal, and he said with a smile. Let me tell you, Captain Xia En was so lucky and lucky, how could he die in the [Rebellious Islands]? Hearing this, Xia En looked thoughtful. ??That day, with the help of Mr. Heller, he entered the whirlpool with the ability to teleport, avoiding the pursuit of the [Thousand Changers]. But the pirates who were watching didn''t know the truth, and maybe they thought he was dead. That''s why such news came out. ?However, from a certain perspective, this can be considered a good thing. ?The big tree attracts the wind. The previous bounty on [Black Swan] was already 3,000 gold dragon coins. If something happens again, it will probably rise even higher. ??Now temporarily getting rid of the center of the whirlpool will obviously reduce the prying eyes of many people. Especially the existence of [Thousand Changers], which gave Xia En a rare feeling of something stuck in his throat. ?Suppressing his thoughts, Xia En asked the two of them. Have there been any other major events on the Seven Seas recently? This is asking for information. ??If ordinary pirates come to inquire, they will definitely have to pay a certain price in exchange for information. ??However, Xia En had just rescued two ships from the White Dove, and his own strength was unfathomable, so the two of them could not have any strange thoughts. Alyssa said frankly: "The most exciting thing on the Seven Seas recently is the leak of a file numbered S3." This S3 document was originally the result of the Federations secret deciphering of ancient books. I dont know why it spread. It records the location of a special treasure. ??Xia En was also a little curious: "What treasure?" Alyssa looked solemn: "[Norwich Treasure]!" Norwich ?Shane just read the name once and couldn''t help but exclaimed: "King of Pirates, Augustine Norwich!?" Alyssa nodded: "Exactly." Shaan was in a rather strange mood. Not long ago, he had met the legendary pirate king in the past. ?And now, news of the other partys treasure has appeared in the Seven Seas? ??Alyssa didn''t know about Shane''s magnificent experience, she just thought that the news shocked him, so she continued. Unlike [Xin Wang Treasure] which pays more attention to inheritance, [Norwich Treasure] contains his lifetime accumulation of wealth, which can be said to be as rich as any country! It is said that after his death, his twelve apostles tried every means but failed to find the location of the [Norwich Treasure]. So after the news was released, the pirates at sea were all excited. Alyssa glanced at the purple sea not far away and said frankly. Actually, half of the reason why I came to [Magnetic Sea Area] this time was to help this fool out, and the other half was to explore this treasure. ?Xia En noticed immediately: "You mean?" According to rumors, part of the [Norwich Treasure] is buried on an island in the center of this [Magnetic Sea Area]! Its called...[Sand Island]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 182 【Sand Island】, meet 【Viper】 again Chapter 182 [Island of Sand], meeting [The Viper] again [Island of Sand]? Hearing this completely unfamiliar name, Xia En asked. What kind of island is this? Alyssa thought for a moment, selected some important information and said: "First of all, this island is very big." This evaluation surprised Xia En. How big is it? About... twenty times that of [Silver Moon Island]? Xia En raised his eyebrows: "That''s really not small." You must know that [Silver Moon Island] is already a large island in the [Sea of ??Tranquility]. Twenty times that, almost the area of ??a small country before the great flood! In the current age of exploration, land is the most precious resource. Even if it is an isolated island, no matter how deserted or narrow it is, people will try their best to put it to use. The reason why many fleets ventured out to sea was also to find new islands. Every new island that has not yet been developed is a huge wealth! The pioneers who discover a new island can also permanently obtain part of the island''s income. Such a big island, shouldnt it have been occupied by the Federation long ago and a new city built? Alyssa saw Xia En''s doubts and explained: "The other feature I want to talk about is related to the current situation of [Sand Island]." Ninety percent of the land on this island is desert, and sandstorms are often raging. It is not suitable for planting or living. "desert" ?Xia En touched his chin, looking thoughtful. In fact, from the name [Sand Island], he could vaguely guess the connection with the desert. ?Many people take it for granted that deserts will not appear near the ocean. But in fact, due to the influence of ocean currents, topography, climate and other factors, there is not only one coastal desert even on the earth. ?It doesnt seem too strange to have an [Island of Sand] appear on the ocean. ?However, this alone should not be enough to stop adventurers from exploring this island. Alyssa continued: "In addition to the harsh natural environment, [Sand Island] also has a group of powerful indigenous residents who are extremely resistant to outsiders." The Federation has also sent fleets several times in an attempt to occupy [Sand Island], but all failed. even the Federation? Hearing this, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. ? No matter what, the current Federation is the most powerful force on the Seven Seas. This can be seen from the steel battleship that I saw at a glance before. ??But having said that, the reason why the Federation does not continue to attack [Sand Island] may not be because it is afraid of the indigenous people on the island. It may also be that the cost of a strong attack exceeds the benefits of the island. Even so, it is enough to illustrate the danger of [Sand Island]. ?Thinking of this, Shane couldn''t help but look at Alyssa and Loren with strange eyes. ?The third-level strength may be considered a strong one in general sea areas, but it is really not enough for the [Island of Sand] that the Federation cannot defeat. Not to mention, this time the [Norwich Treasure] also involves the pirate king. The pirate king had at least an eighth-level strength in his heyday! Every apostle under his command, the weakest is also a seventh-level legend! The treasure left by such a strong man will obviously attract the covetousness of many powerful people. The combat power of the third level is really not impressive enough. ?Perception of his gaze, Alyssa explained with a wry smile: "Pirates, you have to gamble at any chance." Not just for ourselves, but also for the crew on the ship. Hearing this, Xia En reluctantly understood Alyssa and the others'' idea of ??getting a share of the pie. ??The profession of pirate seems to be domineering and notorious. But in the final analysis, they are robbers who make a living by robbing and plundering. Unlike the governor on the island, he has a stable and lasting economic income, let alone stable channels for potions and equipment. Even though there are many talented members on Alyssa''s ship, without enough resources, it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach a higher secret level. So, whether it was the last [Blood Moon Night] or this [Norwich Treasure], the pirates were like sharks smelling blood, coming to try their luck. This is also their only chance to obtain precious resources. Only by fighting for it can you have a chance to break through. Otherwise, sooner or later, everyone will be lost. ?However, Alyssa was not really dazzled by the treasure. She continued: "As far as I know, the [Norwich Treasure] on [Sand Island] is only a part of the entire treasure." The last reason is... After hesitating for a moment, Alyssa revealed an important piece of information. On [Sand Island], there seems to be some kind of restriction against high-level mystics. The level of secret power of high-level mystics will be limited to level five! "I see" Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. The restrictions on high-level mystics were the fundamental reason why the two of them dared to try their luck at the [Sand Island]. Otherwise, if a legendary strongman comes to the Federation at random, how can [Norwich Treasure] be shared by others? ?This news made Xia En''s heart beat a little. The fifth level is neither high nor low. ?It seems that there is only two levels difference from the third level. With Xia En''s combat power close to the fourth level, it seems that he can barely deal with one or two. But soon, Shanes rationality reminded him Even if they are at the same level, the differences between those on the different secret paths are astonishing. The strength of a strong person who has entered the fifth level for the first time cannot be the same as that of a fifth level person who has been immersed in it for more than ten years. Not to mention, this time [Norwich Treasure], there may be secret travelers of level five or above going there. ?This muddy water is not something that Xia En can intervene in right now. ?? Many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind, but the expression on his face remained calm. He quickly realized that Alyssa could have concealed such important information quietly. But now, the captain said it without reservation. This was obviously not just because of the life-saving grace. ?So, Xia En looked at Alyssa and said meaningfully. Captain Alyssa told me the news. She must have other ideas, right? Alyssa''s expression froze slightly. Obviously, in addition to strength, Xia En has also made great progress in other aspects. As expected, I cant hide it from Captain Shane. Alyssa sighed and said: "Actually, when we come this time, we also want to talk to Captain Shane about cooperation..." ??The two third-level Mystic Pathfinders really had no confidence in the [Norwich Treasure], so they thought of Rashaan joining the team. As for income ?In Alyssas original idea, it would be better for each person to get 20%, and Xia En would get 60%. ?However, after seeing Shane with their own eyes, Alyssa and Loren realized that they were wrong, and they were very wrong. With or without them, it doesnt make much difference to Xia En. The combined share of the two of them is 10%, which is probably the result of Xia En''s great mercy. ?It is precisely because she is aware of this that Alyssa is coy and unable to speak out when talking about cooperation. How can we talk about cooperation if our strengths are not equal? "I see." ?Shaan nodded without surprise, but what he said surprised both Loren and Alyssa. "Although [Norwich Treasure] is good, it is not something I can get now. I don''t plan to rob it." "However, I do want to go to [Sand Island], and I can go with you for a while." " This is a decision that Xia En made after careful consideration. The temptation of [Norwich Treasure] is not small, but it is beyond his ability. If he tries to fight for it, he may suffer heavy losses. ?Moreover, with the talent of [Deep Sea Scuba Diving], Xia En is actually not that lacking in resources, and can completely develop with peace of mind for a while. As for the reason for going to [Sand Island], it is also very simple There is a sandstorm raging on [Sand Island]! Storm Powerdoesnt mean that it can only plunder the storms on the sea. ??If you can plunder the power of Sandstorm, wouldn''t it just fill in the last piece of the puzzle to advance to the fourth level? For this reason, Xia Endu had a reason to go to the [Island of Sand]. ?However, these words had a different meaning in the ears of Loren and the others. ?Shane didnt want to rob the [Norwich Treasure], but took them to the [Island of Sand]. Isnt this obviously to frighten the two [Hunting Boats] following behind? ??As long as the [Black Swan] is still there, the [White Dove] will not dare to take action against them. ?This kindness made Loren and the two feel inexplicably flattered. ?The behavior of the superior can easily lead to strange thoughts and associations of the subordinate. ?Unconsciously, Xia En also possesses such characteristics. Captain Shane, I saw it right. Loren smiled broadly, showing her white teeth: "You are such a good person." ?Shaan: "?" ?? Before he could figure out why he was inexplicably dealt a good guy card, he heard Loren continue. By the way, Captain Shane, why didnt I see Mr. Feiya? I havent had time to thank him properly yet. Loren looked around the deck. Suddenly, he realized something that he had ignored ?From just now until now, there is only Xia En on the deck of the [Black Swan]! Loren originally thought that the other crew members were hiding in the cabin to avoid the lightning storm, but upon closer inspection, this was not the case at all. How can one person control such a big ship? ??Just when Loren was confused, he saw Shane''s eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling. ifier Loren took a slight breath, but didn''t dare to think about anything else. At this time, Alyssa wisely stopped talking about the "Norwich Treasure" and asked curiously. Where is that little Joey? I still want to catch up with her! ?Xia En raised his chin and looked at the sea not far away. Here, theyre already here. So, Loren and Alyssa looked up. On the sea, a three-masted sailing ship, several times larger than the Black Swan, was slowly heading in this direction. Loren, Alyssa, and the pirates on the two nearby ships all opened their eyes in unison. ?Although this big ship is not as full of activity as the [Black Swan], it has an indescribable simplicity and heaviness. ?It seems to have sailed out of legends and history, and an indescribable mysterious atmosphere envelopes it. ?Furthermore, the two third-level mystics instinctively sensed There is something extremely terrifying hidden deep within this ship. ?To put it bluntly, it seems like a door to the abyss! It didnt take long. Feiya, Joey and other crew members returned to the deck of the [Black Swan]. Mr. Fei Ya, long time no see, you are still so beautiful... ??In the middle of Loren''s greeting, he met Feiya''s murderous gaze. Soon he was surprised and asked: "Have you also broken through to the third level?" Feiya had fought alongside Alyssa and Loren in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], and she knew that he was just joking and not really angry. Hearing Loren''s question, Feiya chuckled and said, "It''s just a fluke." Its only been a few days since the breakthrough. ??That''s right, Fei Ya is the first secret pather under Xia En to be promoted to the third level! After taking [Crimson Reality], Feiya''s bloodline completed its sublimation and transformation. Even without practicing, his strength is gradually improving. Not to mention, Fei Ya has never fallen behind in his practice, so a few days ago, he took the lead in completing the breakthrough in rank. At this time, Loren was so shocked that he was a little numb. How many days do you call this a breakthrough? ?In his perception, Fei Ya''s aura was even stronger than his own. If it were a one-on-one contest, you might not even be his opponent. Dont forget, Fei Yas secret profession is still a priest! ??As for the auras of the other crew members, Loren could also vaguely see through them. "monster!" Loren couldn''t help but said in her heart: "The guys on this ship are all monsters!" Not far away, Alyssa was also secretly frightened by Joey''s changes. In her opinion, the girl with silver hair and red eyes in front of her exuded a sense of oppression coming from her bloodline. Made her instinctively feel noble, reverent, and even had the urge to worship. "Your blood aura...have you already been to the [Siren Islands]?" Thats right. ??Joy smiled slightly: "I would also like to thank Sister Alyssa for the scales." It seems that your bloodline is even more special than I thought Alyssa''s peripheral vision fell on Yan Yan and An. Although the number of crew members on the Black Swan is small, every one of them makes her feel a strong sense of crisis. It can be said that with these crew members alone, there will be no problem in sweeping out the [Siren] and [Thunder]. Alyssa suddenly felt a little lucky that the [Siren] was a friend of the [Black Swan], not an enemy. As for the other mysterious ship, neither Loren nor Alyssa tried to find out its origins. Three days after that. Led by the [Siren], the [Black Swan] and other ships steadily moved towards the [Island of Sand]. One after another, other ships also appeared on the [Magnetic Mine Sea Area]. Obviously, they are all attracted by the [Norwich Treasure]. ?However, after seeing the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], no ship dared to take the initiative to provoke. Until this day. ?Shane, who was fishing on the deck, heard Joeys exclamation. Mr. Captain, look at that ship! ?Xia En looked intently and soon saw a somewhat familiar mechanical ship on the sea - Viper Horn! (End of this chapter) Chapter 183 Defeat the [Viper]! Chapter 183 Defeat the [Viper]! Is that...[The Viper]? Hearing the noise from the deck, Fei Ya also walked out of the cabin and looked at the mechanical ship on the sea in surprise. In his pale golden pupils, the current appearance of the [Viper] was reflected. It completely abandoned its original wooden structure, its masts and sails were completely dismantled, and replaced by a chimney with thick smoke. Larger hull, brand new steel plates, significantly thicker armor... It all shows that this ship has undergone an overall strengthening and transformation. On the deck, you can still see a large number of advanced steam devices, and there are even several steam figures patrolling them. Feiya frowned slightly: "This ship has become a little different." ?Besides, Bronze Longxiange raised his chin proudly: "No matter how different it is, it can''t compare to the captain''s [Black Swan]!" Its just a fish boat! Trash fish~! ?Xia En glanced at Xian Ge with a strange expression. ?During this period of time, this little dragon has undergone quite a few changes. The first thing is that its scales have become smoother and more delicate. The mysterious texture of bronze has become more and more obvious, and you can vaguely see the secret power flowing. The pair of small horns on the top of the head become more prominent and look a bit majestic. Secondly, it is the nature of Xiange. Under the dual effects of the temptation of gold coins and the deterrence of force, Xia En''s training plan was implemented very smoothly. ?At present, Xian Ge has established a considerable sense of belonging to the [Black Swan], and his attitude towards other crew members is no longer so arrogant. ??But for other humans and ships, Xian Ge still treats them as trash fish. This is the arrogance in her bones, which cannot be reversed in a short while. Generally speaking, the cultivation of Xiange is on the right track. The only regret is... ?Perhaps due to the special race of "Bronze Dragon", Xian Ge''s body shape has not changed much. ?Shaan originally wanted to try out what it was like to be a dragon knight! ?These thoughts were thrown aside as soon as they passed through Xia En''s mind. The most important thing at this time is how to deal with the overhauled Viper. ?After a brief thought, Xia En asked Xian Ge to go back to the cabin, and then waved to the [Siren] not far away. Soon, Alyssa arrived on the deck of the [Black Swan] with the help of space teleportation. ??This female captain with the blood of the Siren is a very smart person. After seeing the Viper in the distance, she took the initiative to speak. Captain Shane, are you going to attack the Viper? ?Shaan nodded: "That''s right." After the collapse of [Blood Moon Secret Realm], he will always remember the hatred that [Viper] chased him all the way. In fact, the last time Xia En went to [Silver Moon Island], he originally wanted to sink the [Viper], but he didn''t expect that the other party happened to be not at the port. ?Now that I think about it, when the [Viper] left [Silver Moon Island], it was probably to carry out hull modifications. Hearing this, Alyssa reminded carefully. As far as I know, [The Viper] went to [Naruhai Island] two months ago, and the dock there underwent a comprehensive renovation. Not only that, the captain of the ship has also been replaced by a third-level Mystic of the Vampire Race, and the crew has been replaced on a large scale. Both the firepower and the combat capabilities of the crew are no longer what they used to be. If Captain Shane wants to take action, please be careful. ?Xia En searched in his mind and then remembered the information about the island [Naruhai Island]. This was one of the islands that was jointly wanted for the Black Swan. Obviously, it is also one of the strongholds of the vampire clan. The characteristic of [Minghai Island] is that there are several shipyards with superb skills. There are many shipwrights on the island. Many famous ships are produced on [Minghai Island]. After the transformation of [Minghai Island], [Viper] is indeed different from what it used to be. but The growth of [Black Swan] is definitely above it! Only the third level? After simply collecting the information, Xia En no longer hesitated, with a flash of a smile on his face. [Black Swan], move forward at full speed! The battle will end within ten minutes! Alyssa was dumbfounded. Didn''t she already emphasize the danger of the Viper? Why did Xia En seem to give the order decisively because of this? ? Turning to look at the other crew members on his ship, no one expressed any objection. Instead, they were all gearing up and preparing to take action. For a moment, Alyssa couldnt figure out whether there was something wrong with herself or the people on the boat. But she still added weakly. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me. The [Siren] can at least provide some fire support ?Shaan thought for a while and said: "Then please ask Captain Alyssa to alert the nearby ships." Shaans instructions were not without purpose. While going deep into the [Magnetic Mine Sea Area], the number of ships on the nearby sea is increasing visibly to the naked eye. There are pirate ships, exclusive ships of island governors, and some ships of unknown origin. The allure of [Norwich Treasure] is evident. ??Everyone wants to grab a piece of the pie before the federal army arrives. In order to prevent them from interfering in this naval battle, it is undoubtedly the right decision to let Alyssa keep a close eye on them. In fact. At this time, several nearby ships have noticed the strange movements of the [Black Swan]. A steamboat that looks particularly dilapidated. Hey, Captain Lindereck, what does that ship want to do? ??The first mate of this ship looked in the direction of the [Black Swan] in surprise and let out a low exclamation. It is accelerating...and the direction it is accelerating is the [Viper]!? Could it be that it wants to challenge the Viper? ??The captain named Lindrick opened his eyes, and a strange color flashed through his cloudy eyes. He is extremely short in stature, but his neck and wrists are very thick, and his gray-white hair grows like weeds on his head. ?This captain is clearly a dwarf. "If I remember correctly, that ship...should be the [Black Swan], right?" Another new crew member who had just boarded the ship murmured: "But hasn''t it sunk? How could it appear in this sea area?" The first mate waved his hand disapprovingly: "No one can tell whether the news at sea is true or false." However, [The Viper] is not something to be trifled with. It just went to [Naruhai Island] for a major overhaul recently, right? Theres also a new captain, whats his name? ?Lindrick replied casually: "Hassen." "Yes, yes, my name is Hazen! I heard that he is a third-level vampire." The first mate turned his eyes and looked at the captain beside him. Theres something good to watch now. Captain, why dont we wait until both of them are hurt, and then... ?Even though this steamship is small and dilapidated, the equipment on board is pitifully dilapidated, but if anyone underestimates them because of this, it would be a big mistake. But when faced with the first mates proposal, Lin Deliek remained calm and said calmly. Look again, the situation may not be as simple as you think. ?Lindelek could hold his temper, but several ships in the surrounding waters had already smelled the interest and gradually moved closer in this direction. ??Furthermore, since the [Black Swan] has disappeared in the Seven Seas for a while, and the strengthening of the [Viper] has happened in recent days, there are also several pirate ships sunk by it... ?Most people feel that [Black Swan] is probably no match for [Viper]. Soon, the people on these ships were surprised to find that The speed of [Black Swan] is unusually fast! ??This ship, whose main body is black, instantly burst out with surging and powerful power, rushing towards the "Viper" with a high whistle. In the eyes of everyone, it almost turned into a black shadow! The waves parted to both sides, and strong winds spread in all directions. This speed simply exceeded the crews understanding of the ship! ??Moreover, as the [Black Swan] charged, its surface gradually revealed a frightening aura. ??The fish and sea beasts in the surrounding waters all seemed to be severely frightened and fled away from the ship in a panic. At this point. Even though the crew of the Viper was slow, they still sensed the approaching danger. ?Captain Hazen stood on the deck, looking at the speeding black ship. He was not surprised but overjoyed, with a smile on his lips. Its actually the [Black Swan]! It seems that God is giving this reward to me! [Black Swan] has been missing for almost two months, but the reward from the Vampires has still not been removed. In their words, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die! This shows how deeply the Vampires hate the Black Swan. ?Hassen knew that by killing the Black Swan, he would get not only the reward, but also the attention of the big shots in the clan. ?Maybe you can get some precious treasures to complete the improvement of your bloodline. Not to mention, according to rumors, Fei Ya from [Black Swan] is also a vampire of a high level. His blood should taste very sweet, right? ?Thinking of this, Hassen''s eyes couldn''t help but flash with a trace of greed. He decisively ordered to the crew members around him: "Everyone is here, ready to fight!" "If you dare to charge at us so directly, let them have a taste of our power!" Hearing this, all the crew members roared excitedly. A considerable part of this new batch of crew members are vampires. They have long been thirsty for blood. At this time, since blood food is delivered to their door, how can they not be excited? Among the crew, only the first mate behind Hassen showed hesitation. ?This first mate is actually the former captain of the Viper, but after Hazen arrived, he naturally became the first mate. He had met the Black Swan several times and knew that this ship was definitely not easy to deal with, so he advised her carefully. Captain Hazen, its better for us to be careful. The [Black Swan] even sank the [Blood Duke], and even hit the [Silver Moon Island]. Also, its appearance seems to be different from before... "hehe" ?Hassons sneer interrupted the first mates persuasion: So what if we sink the [Blood Duke]? The current [Viper] is much stronger than the original [Blood Duke]. Besides, Im not that stupid woman like Duke Nova. Its just a [Black Swan], let me blow it down! Speaking, Hassen turned around and asked: "Is the [Red Snake Cannon] ready?" The sweaty gunner nodded and said: "It has been charged and can be fired at any time!" Then...fire! ??Following Hazens order, the main gun on the front of the [Viper] suddenly lit up with **** lines. Driven by the dual power of steam and secret power, the light of blood continues to accumulate, emitting a palpitating aura. This main gun called the [Red Snake Cannon] is actually a special weapon driven by secret power. The fact that this main gun can be installed on the "Viper" is enough to show that the vampires attach great importance to this ship. However, when the [Red Snake Cannon] was about to accumulate to its maximum, a unique roar suddenly sounded on the sea. Boom I saw a thick beam of light, crossing the sea at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, heading straight for the Viper. In an instant, a deep-seated danger arose in Hasen''s heart. He did not hesitate and forced the [Red Snake Cannon] that was not fully ready to fire. ??A scarlet beam of light shot out from the muzzle and suddenly collided with the beam. ??If you have accumulated the [Red Snake Cannon] to the extreme, you may be able to hold on for a while. But now, it couldn''t even gain a second before it was swallowed up by the thicker and larger beam. At this moment, there was sudden silence between heaven and earth. ?People on the surrounding boats stared blankly at the beam of light that crossed the sea and penetrated the hull of the Viper. The seawater under the light column evaporated over a large area, and even formed a short-lived cavity. This is the power of [Magic Light Killing Cannon]! ?This shot alone dispelled the greed of the crew on the sea. ?However, [Black Swan]s offensive is not over yet. Although the [Magic Light Penetration Cannon] left a huge hole in the hull of the [Viper] that penetrated the front and rear, it did not directly sink it. This is Xia Ens deliberate handwriting. ?This is different from the situation when the weak defeated the strong when defeating the "Blood Duke". Now that we have a combat power that surpasses the opponent, we must try to preserve the integrity of the "Viper". because This ship is already Xia Ens trophy! After the beam dissipated, the [Black Swan] had already approached the side of the [Viper]. Immediately afterwards, the thick, dark horn hit the side of the Viper. ! ! The hull of the Viper shook violently, and the deck tilted to the other side, causing the crew to scream in surprise. Just one shot and one collision caused the [Viper] to lose most of its combat power. Subsequently, Xia En''s voice came from high up. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately! I can still save your lives! ??While the crew members were in shock and confusion, Hassen suddenly rushed to the heights and roared at the same time. Go to hell! ! Xia En kicked him away casually, and Hassen''s body fell into the sea faster than when he came in, causing a splash of water. Now, who else wants to resist? ?Xia En looked down at the people below coldly. ?For a moment, there was silence everywhere, and no one dared to look directly into his eyes. (End of this chapter) Chapter 184 News about [Fishing Number], [Lord of Billions of Glory] Chapter 184 [Fishing Number], [Lord of Billions of Glory] News ?This all happened so fast that most people couldn''t react in time and could only watch in stunned silence. Before some of the crew members of the [Viper] even figured out who the enemy was and why they were fighting, the beam of the [Magic Light Penetration Cannon] had already penetrated the hull of the ship. Then, the [Black Swan] collided. Then ?Captain Hazen is on board! ?Captain Hazen was knocked out! ?That was a third-level Mystic Pathfinder and the strongest person in the entire ship. He didn''t even have the power to fight back in front of Xia En! ? Hurrah! ?The water splashed everywhere, and Hassen, who was thrown into the sea, roared angrily, spread out a pair of blood-colored wings from his back, and rushed straight towards Xia En. ?The sound of the wind was dull, mixed with a heart-shaking sharp howl, like the whole mountain was roaring! Xia En raised his hand and gently and deftly caught Hassen''s fist. ?Even though he was in mid-air, his seemingly thin body did not waver at all. Only the wings made of blood behind him trembled slightly and were vaguely visible. ?After some study, Xia En has mastered the method of controlling the flight of [Blood Power], so that he can overlook the people on the [Viper] from a high position. At this moment, when he saw the **** wings appearing behind Xia En, Hassen''s expression suddenly changed. How is it possible!? ??Although it is not real blood, the method of mobilizing blood energy clearly has the same source as their blood secret method! You, what are you Before Ha Sen finished speaking, Xia En kicked him out casually. ?This kick seemed light, but Hassen felt that he could not avoid it no matter what. At the critical moment, he forcibly used the secret power of blood in his body to form a protective film on the body surface. But at this moment, Xia Ens foot had already landed on Hasens body. There was only a crisp "click" sound. ?That layer of blood protection didn''t last even half a second before it shattered in an instant, and a huge impact swept through Hasen''s body again. How does that violent power look like a human being? It was more like a big ship or a storm hitting him directly! In an instant, Hassen was vomiting blood, his breath was weak, and he fell from a high place like a kite with broken strings. ?His eyes widened, unable to understand Why is this man so strong? All around, whether it was the crew of the Viper or other bystanders with different purposes, they all looked a little dull. ?Hassens previous attack was blocked, and it can be described as a hasty attack without preparation. But this time in a head-to-head confrontation, the truth was nakedly displayed in front of everyone ?Hassen, cant even take one of Shanes moves! The same is true for third-level secretaries, not to mention some first-level and second-level captains. I dont know who sighed: "[Black Swan] is still [Black Swan]..." It seems that after being missing for more than a month, instead of getting weaker, it has become stronger. ?These captains may not be unaware of the previous achievements of the Black Swan. However, people are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes than to hearsay. ?After witnessing the terrifying strength displayed by Xia En, they quickly gave up their original thoughts and quietly turned the ship around and left. On the [Siren], Alyssa opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at the figure standing in the sky above the [Viper], and couldn''t help but feel in a trance. From the time when the Viper was encountered to when the dust settled, where was ten minutes? Its not even five minutes! Alyssa felt lucky once again that Shane was their friend, not their enemy. On the sea not far away. [White Dove] and [Heron] are moving forward side by side. ?After being forced back by the Black Swan that day, they did not just leave, but followed behind, ready to wait for an opportunity. ?Julian, who is known as "Bloody Hand", looked in the direction of the [Black Swan] and said softly. Now, can you understand why I didnt take action before? The first mate on the ship nodded and said with emotion: "As expected of Captain Julian." That ship [Black Swan] is indeed extraordinary. Three days ago, Julian gave an explanation when he retreated without a fight, but it still made some crew members suspicious. Its just a pirate ship. Is it so scary for the captain? The scene before them made them clearly understand... Really! ??If they had launched an attack on the [Black Swan] that day, then the ship pierced by the light beam might have turned into the [White Dove]! What exactly is that powerful beam of light? The first mate looked at the battle not far away and asked curiously: "Is this power... close to the blow of a fourth-level Mystic?" Julian thought for a while and replied: "It''s probably some kind of magic weapon." I have seen similar equipment at the federal headquarters, but this kind of weapon requires a certain amount of time to charge, and it takes a long time to charge this shot. "I see." The first mate seemed to understand, but couldn''t help but ask: "Captain, what should we do next?" You cant just follow them all the time, right? Julian glanced at him and said in a calm tone: "Don''t be impatient yet." "If I guess correctly, their destination is the [Sand Island]." It just so happens that there is an order from above, let us go to [Sand Island] as an advance force and wait for the next instructions. Hiss[Sand Island] Hearing this, the first mate took a breath and showed an uneasy look: "I have been to that island, and the environment on that island... is really not a place for human beings!" And the group of natives are extremely powerful, each one more ferocious than the other. Suddenly, the first mate noticed something and looked at Julian in surprise. Wait a minute, Captain, you...dont you want to compete for the [Norwich Treasure] too? "why not?" Julian smiled. Although his tone was still calm, it revealed a hint of unusual ambition. Even pirate ships like the Siren and Thunder want to get a share of the pie, why dont I give it a try? The [White Dove] is the Federation''s [Hunting Ship], that''s right. But federal laws have never prohibited [hunting boats] from pursuing their own interests. ?On the contrary, the Federation still supports this kind of behavior as long as it does not violate the law. After all, the materials and rewards distributed by the federation alone are not enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of many [hunting ships]. If you want a horse to run, you must give it grass. So, whether it is the gains from destroying pirate ships, or the gains from various islands and underwater ruins, they are all the spoils of the [Patrol Ship] itself. It is not too surprising that Julian would have such an idea. The first mate''s expression changed several times, but he still said cautiously: "Captain Julian, with all due respect, [Sand Island] is very dangerous." Even a third-level secret journeyer may be killed at any time. ?This is a subtle reminder that Julian''s strength is not enough. Third level? Julian showed a confident smile: "I won''t be anymore soon!" Hearing this, the first mate was surprised at first, and then couldn''t help but look happy. at the same time. Xia En and the crew are cleaning up the mess on the Viper. ?Although Hazen was defeated, he still had some loyal vampire subordinates on his ship. At this time, it was naturally impossible for Xia En to show mercy to them. ?After killing Hazen and a group of diehards, the remaining crew surrendered as a matter of course. ?Looking at the dead Hasen, Xia En truly realized the horror of the overall quality of 3.17. He had a crushing advantage against the third-level Mystic. As for the Viper, which had become his trophy, Xia En also felt a little strange. In the past, when faced with the pursuit of the Viper, they could only flee in panic, without the ability to fight back. ?Now, it didn''t take much energy from Xia En to defeat this ship. Its really touching. ?But soon, a new problem was placed in front of Shane What should we do with the Viper and its crew? A big hole was opened in the side of the Viper, but under Shane''s deliberate control, the ship''s navigation ability was not damaged, and it would not sink. Obviously, this boat will fetch a good price. The crew members on the ship are all experienced sailors with good abilities. They are all rare talents for ordinary ships. Just killing them all is obviously a waste. Today is different from the past. At the beginning, Xia En basically kept no prisoners because there were few people on the ship and there were no conditions to control the prisoners. Now, these prisoners are obviously worth a lot of gold dragon coins, so of course they must be kept first. The only problem is Who should I ask for help? ?This is not the [Luosui Islands]. If you want to find someone to sell ships and prisoners, you need someone to take them! The first thing Shane thought of was naturally Loren and Alyssa. ?But then I thought about it, they were so poor themselves, how could they have the spare money to buy such a big ship? It is possible to buy some prisoners. ?Thinking of this, Xia En waved in the direction of the two ships, motioning them to board the ship for discussion. But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of... from the corner of his eye... A dilapidated steamship is slowly approaching the [Black Swan]. After seeing its appearance, Xia En''s expression was very strange. ?This ship is not that big, only about the size of the [Black Swan] after it was first strengthened. The equipment on the ship, including the chimneys, armor, decks...all were rusty and dilapidated, as if they had just been fished out of the sea. ? Judging from the appearance alone, it would not be a surprise even if the ship sank in the next moment. Rusty, broken, stained. This is the first impression this ship gives. ??But as it approached, Xia En was keenly aware of an unusual aura. Master, there is something wrong with that ship! ?Not only Xia En, Xiao Hei also issued an early warning in his consciousness. It has a dangerous smell on it! You must know that when facing the huge Viper, Xiao Hei did not show any strange emotions. ?At this moment, facing this dilapidated and broken boat, he was so wary, which is enough to show the special nature of the other party. ??At the same time that Xia En was on guard, Alyssa took the lead in arriving on the deck with the help of teleportation spells. ?Seeing the dilapidated steamship not far away, Alyssa''s expression changed slightly: "[Fishing Number]? Is it coming too?" Xia En asked curiously: "[Fishing Number]? What a strange name. Is this ship famous?" Alyssa shook her head: "On the contrary, its reputation is very small and it is only known to a very small range. I only knew of its existence by chance." Whats special about it is...the name fishing. Hearing this, Xia En was thoughtful. Fishing means that the surface of the boat is nothing more than bait. ??Pirates who are even slightly confident in their own strength will try to rob this small ship. But now, [Fishing Number] is still alive and well, so the fate of those "fish" is self-evident. Furthermore, it is said that the captain of that ship, Lindereck, has unique connections and knows many secrets on the seven seas, as well as many good things that others cannot buy. Alyssa continued: So, there are some captains who will buy intelligence and equipment from him. Xia En understood clearly. This is an information dealer and maritime trader. ?Of course, they probably dont mind playing the role of pirates when necessary. Once the identity is clear, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of this ship. At this time, a small transport boat was put down on the [Fishing Number], with only a gray-haired dwarf and a human first mate on board. Captain Shane of [Black Swan], Im here to discuss a business deal with you. After a brief thought, Shane said: "Please come on board, Captain Lindereck." As soon as the old dwarf got on the boat, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. ?The opponent''s aura seems to be ordinary, not as powerful as Alyssa or Loren. ?But upon closer inspection, Xia En immediately felt a stinging pain like a needle. Xia En looked solemn. This is definitely not the aura that an ordinary third-level secret path user should have. ??This dwarf captain is obviously hiding very deep. ??What surprised Xia En the most was that the other party actually gave him a feeling of dj vu. At the same time, a flash of surprise flashed across Lin Deliek''s cloudy eyes, and he said hoarsely. It seems that Captain Shanes inspiration is very keen. Inspiration? Hearing this word, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm as he asked directly. Captain Lindereck, what is the business you want to discuss? Of course its this [Viper]. ?Lindelek also got straight to the point: "This ship has a deep connection with the vampires. Most people probably don''t have the guts to acquire it." But Im different. I dare to take the boats that others dare not take! I dare to do business that others dare not do! ??What Lindrick said is indeed the truth. Accepting the "Viper" means that you will receive revenge from the vampires. Ordinary pirates dont want to add another enemy. Shaan thought for a while and asked, So, whats the price you gave? ?Lindrick looked directly into Xia En''s eyes and said bluntly: "1,500 gold dragon coins, or the equivalent of extraordinary materials." Anda message. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What news?" Lindrick showed a mysterious smile: "I wonder if Captain Shane has heard of it..." Lord of billions of radiances? (End of this chapter) Chapter 185 "Ive seen the envoy of God!" Chapter 185 Ive seen the envoy of God! Lord of billions of radiances. Hearing this name, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. ?Has he not only heard of it? This is simply his "old acquaintance"! ??As early as when Xia En explored the first large-scale underwater ruins [Coral City], Xia En had established a strong connection with this ancient god. So much so that he was later regarded as the divine envoy of the Lord of Radiance by the sea tribesmen of the Coral City. It can be said that without the Lord of the Billions of Glory, Xia En''s process of earning his first pot of gold would have been several times more difficult. ?However, due to the improvement of Xia En''s strength, he has set up the [Submarine Anchor Point] in the [Emerald Ancient City], and the Hui Sect has almost been lost in the Seven Seas, so there has been no news about this **** for a long time. But now, why does this old dwarf suddenly mention Him? For missionary purposes? Or do you have other intentions? Xia En had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his face remained calm as he said, "I heard a little bit." This should be the name of a **** from the old times, right? Lindrick sighed: "Captain Shane is really well-informed." In fact, this **** had a very extraordinary status in the old era, and his religion was one of the orthodox religions in the old era. Of course Xia En knows how powerful the Lord of Billions of Glory is, but the news that Lin Deliek wants to tell you should be more than that, right? Facing his questioning gaze, Lindereck still spoke calmly. However, many people do not know what is truly special about this Lord of Radiance. ?Xia En had some suspicions in his mind, but still maintained a calm attitude. ??On the other hand, Alyssa couldn''t help but ask: "What''s really special?" ?At this point, Lindereck stopped showing off and started to speak shockingly. The difference between the Lord of Billions of Glory and other gods does not lie in divine power or authority, but in essence! Because...he is not a **** of this world at all! As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Alyssa and Loren could not help but change their expressions. ?This kind of secret about the gods is really shocking to them. Furthermore, what does it mean to be not a **** of this world? Are there other worlds outside this world? Among the surprised people, Xia En just raised his eyebrows and quickly regained his calm expression. ?Linderek, who had been observing him, was secretly amazed. This determination alone was enough to show how extraordinary Captain Shane was. ?Lindrick didn''t know that the reason why Xia En didn''t react much was just because he had already guessed about it. As early as the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], the [Scarlet Lord] clearly showed his dislike for the Lord of Radiance and called him an "outer god"! Some subsequent experiences corroborated Xia Ens guess. So Lin Deliek''s news is very impactful to ordinary people, but to him, it is not too surprising. ?For some reason, Xia En inexplicably remembered the "Holy Lord of the Deep" whom the "Netherworld Sect" believed in. According to Mr. Heller, the [Holy Lord of the Deep] is a **** who has existed in the deep sea since ancient times, but fell into a deep sleep for some reason. In this case, wouldnt He be considered the ancient **** of this world? Old GodOuter God ??There is also [Huisi Ming] that appeared last time... Xia En only felt that many gods seemed to be using this world as a chessboard, making moves and fighting with each other. ?But ordinary people and even ordinary secret practitioners are not even chess pieces. The same is true for Shane. ?If you want to change this situation, you can only make continuous breakthroughs on the secret path and climb to the top of the "long ladder to the gods" to be qualified to face these gods. Soon, Xia En put aside these distracting thoughts and looked at the old dwarf with a half-smile. Captain Lindereck, is that all you want to say? If this is the case, the price of 1,500 gold dragon coins needs to be raised further. Lindryk''s heart skipped a beat. He realized that he seemed to have underestimated Captain Shane. ?Such a secret, but it didnt arouse the other partys curiosity at all? Or is it that Xia En already knew this information? After hesitating for a moment, Lindereck said: "The news I really want to say is actually related to [Sand Island]..." At this point, he stopped talking again and looked at Alyssa and Loren beside him. ?Seeing the dwarf''s expression, Xia En immediately woke up. The next message will most likely have to be "paid" and naturally cannot be heard by other captains. ?Lindryk is a seasoned intelligence dealer, and of course he would not make such a low-level mistake. ?Thinking of this, Xia En simply brought Lindereck to the captain''s cabin. ?As soon as the door closed, Lindrick said: "Does Captain Shane know about the natives on [Sand Island]?" I heard Captain Alyssa say it. Xia En said frankly: "It is said that these natives are not simple, and they have fought off the federal troops several times?" Its not just simple. ?Lindelek said very seriously: "The environment of [Sand Island] is special, and it is difficult for the Mystic Path users to use the secret power. The Mystic Path users of level five or above will be greatly restricted." And those indigenous people have natural supernatural powers and have adapted to the environment there. They are natural hunters and killers in the desert. Let alone a third-level secret traveler, even if you are a fifth-level one, your life will be in danger if you are besieged by them. After hearing these words, Xia En keenly captured an important point. You said that it is difficult for those who use the secret path on the [Island of Sand] to use the secret power? ?Lindrick was startled. He didn''t expect that Xia En''s focus was so strange, but he still answered honestly. Yes, if you are not a mystic who specializes in the physical body, you may not be able to exert even 30% of your strength ??The old dwarf mans expression became weirder and weirder as he talked. ?At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when facing Hassen, Shane seemed to have not used any secret skills of the Mystic, but used pure power to knock Hassen away. ?Lindrick originally thought it was some kind of secret ability to strengthen the body, but now that he thinks about it, isn''t it the same thing? ?He glanced at Xia En, a little unimaginable... ?This seemingly slender and frail body actually contains such terrifying power! ? ?On the other side, Xia En was silently digesting Lindereck''s information. He originally thought that the ban on the [Island of Sand] only existed for high-level mystics, and if it was true as the dwarf said, wasn''t this [Island of Sand] his home court? The overall quality of??3.17 is enough to crush most enemies. Norwich Treasure, there is just a glimmer of a chance. Honestly speaking, Xia En still has some ideas about this treasure. ?That is the legacy of the Pirate King, even if it is only part of it, it is heartwarming enough. ?However, after a brief moment of excitement, Xia En quickly calmed down. Leave aside whether Lindereck''s information is true or false, there must be many people in Qihai who know the news. ?Taking the Federation as an example, after several defeats, didnt they know how to send out physically powerful mystics? There are also similar strong men among pirates. ?Shaan is definitely not the strongest among them. His current strength can only be said to have a chance. Xia En quickly made up his mind: "It''s better to break through the fourth level as soon as possible, and then we''ll see what happens." He turned to look at Lindereck, and after thinking about it, he said, "Do you mean to say..." Are these natives related to the Lord of Billions of Lights? ?Lindrick nodded heavily: "That''s right." Actually, the natives on [Sand Island] are the most devout believers of the Lord of Radiance! At this point, Lindereck finally showed some of his true nature as a businessman and grinned. "And here I happen to have a few relics of the Hui Sect. Although they cannot be used, their aura can greatly reduce the hostility of the natives towards you." ? ? ? Then, he took out a worn-out, Something like a badge or amulet. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En finally woke up. ?Lindelek went in such a big circle, first talking about how powerful the Lord of Radiance is, and then how difficult the natives are. The ultimate purpose of co-writing is to sell products to himself! I can only say that he is worthy of being the captain of the Fishing Boat and a businessman who has been at sea for so long. This ability to do business is indeed unique! ?However, looking at the dull and worn-out amulet in Lindereck''s hand, Xia En couldn''t help but laugh. "Captain Lindereck, your news is indeed valuable, but... you have found the wrong person." "Um?" ?While Lindereck was still confused, a bright and warm light suddenly lit up in the captain''s cabin. The dwarf turned around and saw ?In the palm of Xia En''s hand, a intact Hui Cult amulet was emitting a faint brilliance. It was under its effect that a ball of light emerged in the mid-air. ?Seeing this, Lin Deliek''s eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief. After being surprised, he made an unexpected move to Xia En. Without saying a word, the dwarf captain knelt down on one knee in front of Xia En and said respectfully. Lindelek, I have seen the envoy of God! "ah?" ?This time it was Xia En''s turn to be stunned. So what does this mean? Lindereck himself is actually a firm believer in the Hui religion? But why did he think he was an envoy of God? Now is not the time in [Coral City], so it may not be a good thing to rush to recognize this identity. ?So Xia En immediately said: "I am not the divine envoy of Hui Religion. Have you misunderstood something?" ?Linderick shook his head firmly: "Impossible." Who else can display such pure divine power of the Hui religion besides the divine envoy? The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly: "Is it possible that I just used the power of these Hui Sect relics?" ?Lin Deliek looked at Xia En seriously: "Although I don''t know why you are unwilling to admit this identity, you must know that not everyone can use the relics of our Hui Sect." Especially now that the glory of the Lord of Radiance is gradually fading... As he said that, Lindereck''s expression turned slightly gloomy. As if to prove his statement, he stretched out his hand, picked up the Hui Jiao amulet in Xia En''s hand, and poured the secret power into it. Subsequently, a significantly smaller and dimmer light group rose in the captain''s cabin. Its very difficult for me to use this talisman. An ordinary mystic would not be able to activate it at all. ?Hearing what Lindereck said, Xia En was stunned again. ?This incident was a little beyond his expectation. He originally thought that the [Hui Jiao Amulet] could be used as long as it was injected with secret power, but now it seems that is not the case. Thinking about it carefully, the Sea Clan in [Coral City] cannot use the relics of the Hui Sect. Is it not because of the special characteristics of the Sea Clan? In this way, the biggest anomaly is that I am not a believer, but I can use the relics of the Hui Sect! ? ?Xia En frowned, feeling very strange. Members of the family know their own affairs. He has never really believed in any god, let alone being an envoy of any god. ?Thinking about it, there are only two reasons why I can exert the effect of Hui Jiaos relics. Either it is the mysterious [Eye of the Secret Sea]. Either, it is the soul of a traveler who does not belong to this world! Did that foreign **** take a fancy to him because of this? ?Xia En looked at the dwarf kneeling in front of him, feeling quite dumbfounded. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With the Sea Tribes in the Coral City, they have always called her the Divine Envoy. I originally thought it was just a disguise, but now that I think about it, I cant tell if its true or false. ?However, regardless of whether it is a divine messenger or not, this business must still be done. ?Lindelek, contrary to his true nature as a businessman, offered to give Xia En more money, but he refused. Shaan still knows this truth about being soft-spoken and weak-handed. In the end, the transaction price of [The Viper] was still 1,500 gold dragon coins. ?In addition, the crew members of the [Viper], Shane, were sold to Lyndrick, Alyssa and Loren respectively. In the previous pursuit and escape, Loren and the two lost a lot of men, and this crew will undoubtedly be able to quickly replenish their combat power. After calculation, these crew members together sold for more than 100 gold dragon coins. ?Its just that Xia En didnt ask for all the money. Instead, he used these golden dragon coins to purchase the equivalent value of rare materials from Linderek. I have to say that there are quite a lot of good things in Lindlek. Some precious metals and wood are good things that cannot be bought on ordinary islands. ?No wonder many captains are willing to do business with him. One of the materials was the most precious, costing Xia En a full 800 gold dragon coins sea dragon''s remains Quality: Epic Type: Material Description: A layer of body cast off from a sea dragon. After being used as an extraordinary material to strengthen the hull, it can greatly enhance the hull''s "sturdiness" attribute, secret power absorption efficiency, and seawater affinity. The power of the sea flows in my body. Compared with the dragon bones previously obtained in the [Siren Islands], the biggest advantage of this sea dragon skin is Lively! The secret power on it is well preserved, as if it had just shed its body not long ago. It can be seen that if it were an ordinary person, Lin Deliek would really not be willing to sell it. That is to say, Xia En had "exposed" the identity of the divine envoy, so he willingly took it out. After this, Shane made another deal with Lindereck. The items being traded were none other than the Hui Cult relics that Xia En had collected in the Coral City. ?These relics are not of much significance to Xia En. Three or four pieces are enough. But to Lin Deliek, the sacred objects of Hui Religion are of great value in themselves. ?In this transaction, both parties feel that they have made a profit. It can also be regarded as a genuine "win-win". Mr. Gods envoy, please cooperate with me happily. Its a pleasure to work with. In the captain''s room, Shane and Lindereck shook hands and talked happily. Even after hearing this title, Xia En was still a little nervous. Upon seeing this, Lin Deliek immediately showed an "I understand" expression: "Don''t worry, I will never reveal your identity in front of outsiders." ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. What do you understand! ? ?He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked: "What are you going to do with [The Viper]?" ?Lindelek smiled and said: "The envoy will know about it soon." Speaking, he took out something from the space ring and handed it to Xia En. Compared to this little thing, there is one more thing, please accept it. (End of this chapter) Chapter 186 【Brilliant Crystal】【Burning Gold】 Chapter 186 [Glory Crystal Mirror] [Burning Gold] ??Lindrick handed Shane a strange mirror. It''s just that it is very different from the mirror in Xia En''s perception. ?Its mirror is composed of several smooth and exquisite prisms. Each prism reflects the surrounding scene from different angles, making it look a bit strange. ?The longer you stare at it, the more you feel like your soul is being sucked into it. On its back, there are many tiny pipes and wire bundles, forming a chip-like shape on the earth. ?Xia En frowned suddenly. The first feeling this thing gave him was... Sense of technology! It is as if this mirror is not a special relic, but an exquisite and complex technological creation of some advanced civilization. ?This is actually not the first time that Xia En has seen this weird "sense of technology". In the previous [Ember Shelter], the buildings and instruments there also showed a similar style. ?This shows that the technological level of some areas in the old era is not only far higher than that of the current Federation of Seven Seas, but is even higher than that of the Earth in Shane''s previous life. ?However, what is the purpose of Linderek giving this thing to himself? Not long after, Xia En''s doubts disappeared as a few lines of information emerged in front of him. Brilliant Crystal Mirror Quality: Legend Type: Relic Description: A mysterious relic created by a bishop of Hui Religion in the old days after being inspired by an oracle. By injecting spiritual power into it, the consciousness can temporarily enter the "Land of Glory" and communicate over long distances with other people who hold the "Brilliant Crystal Mirror". Sacred aura connects us! ?Legendary relic! ?Xia En couldn''t help but widen his eyes slightly. Up to now, he owns only a few [Legendary] props. ?Now, Lindereck''s move was so generous, which was a little bit beyond Xia En''s expectation. As for the effect of this relic, it is actually easy to understand. This is nothing more than a long-distance communication tool. Most of the people who can hold this crystal mirror have a close connection with the Lord of Billions of Lights. Lindricks explanation also proves this point. Now in the Seven Seas, the glory of the Lord of Glory has gone far away, but there are still some people who have taken refuge in the radiance. Among them, there are many officials at the top of the federal government, and there are also lone wolves like me. But since we are all believers of the Lord of Radiance, we must always stick together to keep each other warm, and this mirror is our means of communication. ?Xia Ens eyes twitched. ?Lindrick said this because he really regarded him as an envoy of God and one of his own. But he is really not a believer of the Lord of Radiance! Without waiting for Xia En to justify two sentences, Lindreck continued: "When the surface of the mirror is on, it is the current bishop of the Grand Bishop to initiate a rally." On weekdays, you can also use the crystal mirror by yourself, but you need to try your luck whether you can meet other people. As soon as he heard this, Xia En understood immediately. ??This is just a chat group! Normally everyone may not be online. ?Only when the administrator (archbishop) @all members (convene a meeting), these people will chat and exchange information. ?Thinking about it this way, the reason why Lin Deliek was able to master so much information was obviously due to this [Glory Crystal Mirror]. ?Thinking of this, Xia En rarely hesitated. The value of [Brilliant Crystal Mirror] is self-evident. On the Seven Seas without network, there is actually a lag in the transmission of messages. A stable source of intelligence can not only seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but also be one step ahead at critical moments. Sometimes, a quick step leads to a quick step by step. It is no exaggeration to say that this mirror is priceless. But on the other hand, accepting it means that the relationship between Xia En and the Lord of Hui has deepened again. From a long-term perspective, this may not be a good thing. ?After thinking for a moment, Shane asked: "If I took this mirror, wouldn''t Captain Lindereck..." ?Lindelek grinned: "Don''t worry, Lord God, I don''t only have one mirror like this here." He obviously saw Xia En''s concerns and took the initiative to speak. Captain Xia En, I know you havent accepted the identity of the divine envoy yet, and you also have some misunderstandings about our Hui Sect. But please dont worry, we will never force you to do something you dont want to do. In fact, some of the people who have obtained the [Glory Crystal Mirror] are not pure believers, but speculators and careerists who want to make profits with it. Even so, even the archbishop did not exclude or be hostile to them. ?Shaan frowned: "Why?" If I really want to say it, there is actually only one reason... ?Lindelek straightened his expression and said seriously. You are destined to be with my Lord. Not long. ??Xia En held the [Glory Crystal Mirror] and watched Lindereck return to the [Fishing Number] in the boat. ?Lindeleks last words, which sounded mysterious and mysterious, convinced him. As early as when he entered the church in [Coral City], Xia En had formed an indissoluble bond with the Lord of Radiance. Or, cause and effect? Obviously, this fate cannot be easily dissolved for the time being. Instead of guarding against any hidden conspiracy, it is better to accept the [Glory Crystal Mirror] openly and infiltrate them inside. ??If they really want to do something to themselves, all they have to do is stop them with soldiers and cover them with water and soil. ?Shaan picked up the mirror and looked around carefully, and suddenly found a small line of text in the corner behind the mirror - T-34 Spectral Communication Prism ??This line of characters is not the common language used at sea today, nor is it other languages ????that Sean is familiar with, but its meaning clearly comes to mind. ifier Could this thing, like [Heart of Steam], be a mass-produced creation? Just when Xia En was secretly surprised. ?Joy, who was not far away, couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Mr. Captain, [Fishing Number] it..." ?Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he turned to look in the direction Lindereck left. I saw a flickering mist rising up around the dilapidated steamship for some unknown reason, and gradually wrapped the [Fishing Number] and the [Viper] in it. ?On the deck, Lindereck waved goodbye to Shane. Captain Shane, we will see you again! Not long after, the light-like mist-like substance completely submerged the two ships. ?When the light dissipated, both ships disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared. Obviously, this is what Lindereck said was the way to deal with the Viper. This method once again proved the extraordinary nature of [Diaoyu]. Early the next morning. The morning sun is spreading over the sea, giving the entire deck a warm atmosphere. The sea breeze blows through the cabin, which is completely warm and pleasant. ?However, there is also a bit of heat in the sea breeze. On the sea in the distance, a yellow island gradually emerged, which made the crew all cheer up and prepare for the battle. ?That was the destination of their trip Sand Island Xia En stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. ? Just as Alyssa said, this island covered with yellow sand is surprisingly large. Looking at it from a distance like this, its like seeing a piece of land! ?However, [Sand Island] is indeed very desolate. What you can see is only white sand, not even a few dry old trees, and a lonely and desolate atmosphere hits your face. But the ships on the surrounding sea broke this dead atmosphere. In the past few days, Xia En has encountered dozens of ships. There are some big and small, some unknown, some high on the federal bounty list, some pirate ships, and some [hunting ships]. ?The forces from all sides are surging. This is actually the result of preliminary screening. Due to the special restrictions of [Island of Sand], particularly powerful Mysterians will not come to the island to rob. The environment in the [Magnetic Sea Area] also naturally wiped out a group of weak ships. Without the Mystic Path, there is no way for a ship to pass through the [Magnetic Sea Area] and reach the [Island of Sand]. If this were not the case, the number of ships appearing near the [Island of Sand] would have increased several times! Fortunately, these ships actually maintained considerable restraint. Except for those who have deep hatred and hatred, almost no one takes the initiative to provoke conflicts. The fight for the treasure hasnt started yet! What is there to beat to death? The most intense conflict in the past two days was the battle between the Black Swan and the Viper yesterday. And this sea area is so large, the results of the conflict have naturally spread throughout the country. This also leads to ?After seeing the fleet of the [Black Swan], the nearby ships all consciously hid far away, and no one dared to provoke them. Hey, how come these pirates are all so good at learning? ??Xia En looked at a pirate ship that was hiding away and couldn''t help but sigh: "I want to plunder a few more pirate ships to supplement my family''s income!" The transaction with Lindereck made Shane fully aware... Thousands of gold dragon coins are simply not enough to spend on those really good things! He has two boats to maintain! ?A variety of rare materials, of course there is never too much. ??Xia En glanced at the [Black Swan], which was becoming more and more troublesome in appearance, and suddenly felt that [Fishing Number]''s disguise was not unreasonable. At this time. Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and caught a glimpse of a huge warship docked on the coast of [Sand Island]. ?Its front end is slender, and the rear part expands in several directions, like several leaves made up of leaves, with a strange and graceful shape. ?It has a black hull, with gold and dark red stripes running through the hull, like the veins of a leaf. With such a shape and color scheme, it is most likely a battleship of the Vampire clan. Xia En suddenly felt awe-struck. This big ship is not at the same level as the Viper. The vampires on the ship must also be real big shots. Fei Ya walked up behind Xia En and murmured in shock: "[Ranjin]...it''s actually here too." ?Shane asked: "Do you recognize this ship?" "Yes." Feiya nodded, and her tone was unusually dry: "When I was very young, that ship visited [Silver Moon Island] once." Its captain is an extremely terrifying woman named Twilight. When I met her, she was already a second-class descendant. She had awakened the mysterious and ancient [burning gold blood] and was a true noble among the vampires! With our current strength, we simply cannot compete with them. Xia En also clearly understood this without Fei Ya reminding him. ?However, looking at the posture of the [Ranjin], it seemed that it was confronting another ship, so it did not notice the [Black Swan] ships. ?Xia En decisively controlled the [Black Swan] and approached the [Sand Island] in a roundabout way. This is the benefit of the large area of ??[Sand Island]. Even though there are a lot of ships coming here, they are scattered to every coast, but they are all separated by a considerable safe distance. Xia En secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the [Ranjin] disappeared from sight. The appearance of this ship reminded him again Compared with a truly strong person, I am only at the third level now, and I am nothing! If the [Ranjin] really comes after them, they may have no choice but to flee for their lives in a hurry. Now, although I have temporarily avoided it, it does not mean that I and others are safe. After thinking for a moment, Xia En made a decision. After docking later, An and I will explore the [Sand Island], while the rest of us will drive the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] to hide in distant waters. ??Joy''s beautiful eyes widened: "Mr. Captain! How is this allowed?" At least... take me with you! Fei Ya also said seriously: "I will not abandon the captain and leave." ?Other crew members also expressed their opinions, and even Xian Ge expressed his wish to go to the island with Xia En. Listen to my explanation. ?Seeing the crew members'' reactions, Xia En was quite moved, but he still analyzed them in detail. A ship docked on the coast is like a target, with the risk of being attacked at any time. Moving at sea is actually safer. ??Moreover, now the ship spirit of the [Black Swan] has become more mature. Not only can it travel on its own, but it can also sense its own call from a long distance. When Xia En breaks through to the fourth level, whether he continues to go deeper into the [Island of Sand] or leaves directly, he has no worries. As for the candidates to go to the island, Xia En did not choose randomly. ?Although An is only at the second level, with the blessing of this armor, he can also exert his third level combat power. ?Furthermore, An''s body is relatively strong among the crew members, and is suitable for the special environment of [Sand Island]. The only one who can compare with him is Yan Yan. ?But Yan Yan''s combat power is also the strongest on the ship, even better than Xia En in some cases. So he needs to stay on the ship in case of emergency. ?Joys home court is at sea, and when he goes to [Sand Island], he can exert less than one-tenth of his combat power. ?Besides, Xia En is here to make a breakthrough, so bringing too many people will become a burden. After this explanation, the crew members quickly understood his intentions and had no choice but to obey the order. After all, Xia Ens prestige is here, and no one wants to resist. ?Only Joey was a little unhappy because the captain didn''t take him with him. After giving the order. [Black Swan] docked on the coast of [Sand Island]. ?At this time, Xia En no longer walked with Loren and the others, but took Ann and quickly approached the center of [Sand Island]. Soon, a vast desert came into view of the two of them. (End of this chapter) Chapter 187 [Island of Sand] Natives, encounter twilight! Chapter 187 [Island of Sand] The natives encounter twilight! As soon as you set foot on the land of [Sand Island]. Xia En immediately felt that the secret power in the air around him had become thinner and heavier. Whether it is absorbing the secret power or manipulating the secret power, there will be great resistance. Is this the ban on [Sand Island]? Xia En sighed secretly: "It''s really extraordinary." "However, it seems that there are more than just restrictions on secret power..." He felt it carefully and found that his whole body was a little weak and seemed to be particularly heavy. One step down, leaving a deep footprint in the sand. At this moment, Xia En was able to determine that the gravity on this island was much greater than that of the outside world. ?With his strong body, he felt a little uncomfortable. If it were some delicate mystical person, it would be difficult to move forward. Xia En turned his head and asked with concern. Ann, are you okay? Behind him, the movement of the armored knight was slightly difficult. ??But after hearing this, white magic patterns appeared on the surface of the armor, and An''s movements became visibly lighter. Xia En knew that this was the "sky form" of An''s armor, which greatly reduced its own gravity, which exactly offset the gravity field of the Sand Island. ?However, it is obviously unrealistic to fly in this environment. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised. It seems that the restrictions on secret power on [Island of Sand] do not take effect on magic pattern equipment? But at this moment, a small head emerged from the gap in the armor. Huh? Where is this? ??Elf Tracy said in a daze: "Why is there so much sand around?" Seeing her, Shane''s eyes twitched: "Tracy, why are you here?" Tracey said honestly: "I have been sleeping in An''s armor before, and I was here when I woke up." An''s body also stiffened slightly. ?How could he have imagined that Tracey would be so bold as to dare to sleep in his armor? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Shaan also realized this. But after carefully checking her up and down, he found that Tracy had no other symptoms except for being a little depressed due to the ban on the [Island of Sand]. ?But if you think about it carefully, things like "bad luck" are inherently mysterious and mysterious. They cannot be explained by common sense, and naturally there are no observable symptoms. At the moment, since Tracy is already here, she cannot be sent to the [Black Swan] again. This back and forth will inevitably waste a lot of time. ?So, after Xia En gave her a few warnings, he continued to move deeper into the [Island of Sand]. After setting foot on [Sand Island] in person, we can feel the vastness of this island even more. ?The scene in front of me always seems to be an unchanging lonely desert, with no end as far as the eye can see. About half an hour later, the sea behind him had disappeared, but the surrounding scene seemed to have not changed at all. Furthermore, as the relationship between two people and one goblin progresses, the influence of gravity and restrictions is still deepening. The air is getting hotter and drier. ?At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew, raising large amounts of yellow sand. The sun in the sky seemed a little distorted, but the wind and sand did not prevent it from casting endless light and heat on this desolate area. There is no doubt that this desert is showing its ferocious side to outsiders. After walking forward for a while, Xia En caught a glimpse of something lying across the empty desert. ?Xia En walked forward slowly, carefully every step, and soon saw its appearance clearly. ?This is clearly a mummy! He was wearing pirate clothes and there were no obvious wounds on his body. But the water in the body has completely disappeared, and the dry body clings to the bones like a skeleton. Looking carefully, there are several similar mummies nearby. Obviously, they all came to [Sand Island] to look for treasure, but they lost their lives before the treasure was found. ?Shaan frowned and thought: "How did they die?" "You can''t die of thirst here, right?" ??Now that they all know the climate and environment of [Sand Island], these pirates should prepare countermeasures in advance. ?An was about to write on the sand to express her views, when she heard Tracy say. An felt that they might have been poisoned. "Um?" Not only An, but also Xia En looked at Tracy in surprise. It was not because of the speculation itself, but because Tracy seemed to understand Ann''s meaning without communicating. ? Traceys reaction to them was a little strange: Did I say something wrong? ?Shaan looked at An with questioning eyes. An silently shook her head. Xia En was surprised and asked: "Tracy, how did you do it?" ?? Tracey raised her chin and said with some pride: "This is the innate ability of our fairy clan, called [capturing the voice of the heart]." But it can only be used on elves, and it requires the trust of the target. ?Xia En looked at An with a strange expression. ??There''s something weird about having one''s heart captured. Tracey said: "Ann is thinking... Captain, don''t look at me like that!" An''s body stiffened again, and she looked at Tracy angrily. ?Shaan seemed to see his shameful and angry expression through the armor. ?This thought made Xia En couldn''t help laughing. It turns out that An also shows this kind of emotion...'' Although An was one of the first crew members to board the ship, due to the armor and [Aphasia Curse], Xia En had never seen his expression or heard his voice, so he could not know his true mood. ?The current posture is different from the usual image of a rigid and loyal knight. It also made him look more lively and lovely in Xia En''s eyes. ?However, Xia En also knew that if he continued to laugh, An might become really angry. ?So he coughed twice and said: "Tracy, you will act as Ann''s mouthpiece from now on and notify me of any important news in a timely manner." However, dont reveal all your feelings... Tracey was confused when she heard this: "What should be said and what shouldn''t be said?" "For example...what about the phrase ''Captain, you are so evil!''" Pfft! The gaze cast by An under the armor was almost killing the goblin. ?Xia En suppressed laughter and turned to examine the mummy. Its just that he just turned over the pirates mummy. A small black shadow suddenly rushed toward the door at a speed that ordinary people could hardly react to. ??Xia En''s expression changed slightly, but his movements were faster than his thinking. He stretched out his big hand and caught the approaching black figure. Out of caution, a layer of blood appeared on his body, and it was this layer of blood that blocked the sting from the black shadow''s tail. Dang! The tail of the black shadow hit the blood and made a muffled sound. Under the firm pressure of blood, this little thing finally became honest. At this time, Xia En was able to see the whole black shadow clearly. This is a black scorpion, only the size of a palm, but its body is extremely hard, like steel. Xia En took out a dagger and slashed it casually. ?There was a crisp "bang" sound, and the tip of the dagger broke. ??Although this is just an ordinary dagger, with the blessing of Xia En''s power, it cannot pierce the body of the black scorpion. The natural defense of the black shell is really shocking. ??And its tail still exudes a bitter taste similar to almonds. ??While smelling this smell, Xia En felt a constant tingling sensation on his skin, and the hand holding the dagger was also a little numb. Obviously, this is poison, unimaginably poisonous. ?With Xia En''s current physique, many toxins have no effect on him, but this seemingly inconspicuous scorpion actually contains such terrible poison. ?Most of the pirates here will die in their hands. ?The danger of this [Sand Island] lies not only in the special environment, but also in the indigenous people and such unheard-of strange creatures. ?Xia En used the Blood Demon Sword to cut open the body of the black poisonous scorpion to ensure that it was dead. ?Then, he turned his head and was about to explain his findings to Ann and Tracy when he heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air behind him. ! ! ?Several arrows pierced the air, and they came very fast, heading towards Xia En and the others'' rear. An''s reaction was a beat too slow, and he didn''t have time to dodge. ?Xia En took a step forward, holding the Blood Demon Sword in his hand. He slashed down with the sword to cut off the flying arrows. He looked up and frowned slightly. ?On the sand dunes not far away, several strange men in yellow robes were seen holding bows and arrows, looking at them with hostility. ??The yellow robes worn by these weirdos are in tatters, almost blending in with the color of the desert. It also caused Xia En to be unable to see their appearance clearly. He could only see something like thick hair through the holes in the robe. Almost the moment he saw the strange man in yellow robe, Xia En could confirm They are the natives of this [Sand Island]! ??And if Xia En guessed correctly, the appearance of these pirates lying in the desert and the natives is not a mere coincidence, but... A trap! The natives are using the mummies of these pirates to attract outsiders, and suddenly attack them when they inspect the corpses! Even if outsiders avoid the scorpion attack, they will be shot by the bow and arrow from behind. Xia En glanced back at the arrows. Their arrows were hollow, and they also exuded the smell of bitter almonds. Poison is obviously one of the big killer weapons of this group of natives! Inexplicably, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. Normally speaking, given the size of [Island of Sand] and not reaching the core area of ??the island, it shouldnt be that easy for them to encounter the natives. But now we have only been on the island for half an hour, and I and others have plunged into the trap of the natives... ?Is this really just plain bad luck? Or say ???The bad luck that Tracey Cong''an suffered from has taken effect quietly? ?However, this is not the time to think about these questions, because... The natives not far away have already set up their bows and arrows again, preparing for the second round of shooting! ?? Xia En calmed down, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and immediately took out the [Hui Cult Amulet] from the [Apocalypse Ring]. In an instant. A group of light appeared around him. ??Unless absolutely necessary, Xia En still didnt want to be enemies with these natives. After all, these natives are extremely adaptable and understand the environment of the Sand Island, and can exert combat power far beyond their own level. With his previous experience of cooperating with the Coral City Sea Tribe, Xia En clearly understood that if he could rely on their power, many difficulties would be solved. ?At this time, Xia En happened to learn about the indigenous people''s belief in Hui religion. There is no reason not to take advantage of it. As expected. After seeing this brilliance, the movements of the natives were slightly stagnant. ??The leader among them seemed to have opened his mouth and was talking to his companions around him. ?However, due to the distance, Xia En could not hear the content of their words clearly. It didnt take long. Many natives put down their bows and arrows, and the leader waved to Xia En, as if gesturing him to come over. Seeing this, Xia En felt happy. Theres a show! As long as they can communicate, it means that the hostility of the natives is within controllable limits. ? ? Next, show your relationship with the Lord of Radiance, maybe you can get their help. ?Thinking about it this way, encountering indigenous people may not necessarily be a sign of bad luck? But it will be the next moment. Boom! ! A **** stream of light suddenly fell from mid-air. The place where it fell was exactly where the natives were. Accompanied by screams and roars, a violent explosion erupted at the point where the **** light fell, throwing out a large amount of blood, minced meat and severed limbs. In just one breath, several natives died on the spot. ??The remaining natives screamed and fled quickly. ?Xia En suddenly raised his head and looked at the source of the **** light. I saw a tall young woman with the beauty of ice and snow suspended in mid-air. Behind her, a pair of substantial blood-colored wings were flapping gently, supporting her to hover in mid-air. In this high-gravity environment, being able to fly is a symbol of strength! In the woman''s hands, she held two firearms that were like twin sisters. The previous stream of light was emitted from it. ?This beautiful woman looked around and caught everyone present in her eyes. Her lips were smiling, and her smile was beautiful, but her eyes were as cold as a hunter treating his prey. The moment he saw this woman, all the hairs on Xia Ens body stood up, and an extremely strong sense of crisis arose in his heart. This sense of crisis is even more intense than when facing the [Thousand Changers] at that time! Characteristics of vampires, women, and extremely high status. Xia En immediately remembered what Fei Ya had mentioned before, the owner of the [Burning Gold] - Twilight! But how could he meet the other party by such a coincidence! ? How long have you just been on the island? Looking at Twilight''s posture, it seems that she plans to kill everyone present! ?Shane glanced at An and Tracy, and suddenly realized that An''s bad luck, which could destroy a kingdom, was not just talk. Run separately! Without hesitation, Xia En handed An a [Hui Jiao Talisman] and then ran away in one direction. Facing such a powerful enemy, running away together will only speed up the process of death. Escape separately, there may be a glimmer of hope. Oh? Is there any unexpected gain? ?Looking in the direction of Xia En in the air, Twilight licked her lips: "This little guy''s blood seems to be very sweet..." She flapped her wings and quickly chased after him. After noticing Twilight''s actions, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. He took the initiative to cut his wrist in order to attract Twilight to chase him. After swallowing the [Crimson Reality] and bathing in dragon blood, his blood must be extremely attractive to the Vampires. At least it can prevent Twilight from going after Ann and Tracey. At this time, Twilight''s faint words came from above. Little guy, stop running away and come to your sisters place I will love you very much! ?At the same time as these words were heard, a scalp-numbing stream of blood had already fallen next to Xia En! (End of this chapter) Chapter 188 Fourth level promotion ritual! Chapter 188 Fourth-level promotion ritual! Boom! The **** stream of light shot out from the pistol came almost instantly. ?Xia Ens ears were filled with an extremely high-pitched whistling sound, as if it was about to tear his eardrum. Just the strong wind brought by the blood-colored stream of light made his skin ache. The power of this gun is at least five levels! In the environment of [Sand Island], long-range attacks with secret powers will be greatly restricted. ??Even if Twilight can use a special firearm to carry out such an attack at will, it is enough to show how terrifying she is. Seeing the **** stream, it is about to fall on the body. Xia En''s expression changed slightly, and without hesitation, he immediately used the effect of [Double Ship Soul], bursting out with astonishing speed, and narrowly dodged the shot. Immediately afterwards, he took advantage of the impact of the air wave to fly back in the air, turned around and ran away. But where he was a second ago, a huge pit appeared. It is conceivable that if this gun lands on a human body, it will turn the person into a pulp in an instant! This woman is definitely not just an ordinary fifth-level mystic! Xia En''s eyelids twitched when he saw it, and at the same time, he came up with an inference in his heart: "Could it be the sixth level..." ??No matter what, even if Twilight is only at level 5, she is still one of the strongest people that Shane has ever seen, no less than Mr. Heller and [Thousand Changers] back then. Xia En, who was still at the third level at the moment, could only run away in front of her. In mid-air, Twilight chuckled as she watched Xia En go away at high speed. Is it possible to comprehensively improve your ability in a short period of time? Its kind of interesting. But where can you escape to on this island? Twilight''s confidence is not without reason. Sand Islandis covered with yellow sand. Unless you get under the desert, there is no place to hide. Since Twilight can still fly in a high-gravity environment, it naturally has air superiority, coupled with this pair of vampire guns called "Twin Flowers". It can be said that he is naturally invincible. ?Thinking of this, Twilight flapped her wings calmly and chased Xia En in the direction of escape with a smile. Boom! boom! boom! ?Three thunderous roars came from high up. ??Twilight fired three shots again, blocking Xia En''s escape route at an extremely tricky angle. Xia En frowned slightly. With his speed, he could barely dodge two of the shots, and the last shot would probably have to be dealt with forcefully. As his thoughts flashed, three streams of light were entangled and heading towards him. A feeling of being locked in came to mind, and at the same time it brought with it a pinprick of menace. Xia En''s heart was like a mirror, and the muscles in his legs suddenly exploded like compressed springs, drawing a weird trajectory that ordinary people could not imagine, and he forcibly dodged the two shots behind him. The last **** stream of light is coming towards you! With a thought in Xia En''s mind, the Blood Demonic Sword appeared, and with the force of wind and thunder, it struck towards the blood light! Boom! The blood demon sword collided with the flowing light, and the terrifying secret power suddenly spread. Xia En''s body trembled, he grunted, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he forced the sword down and cut off the stream of light. Then, continue to run forward and escape. But just this collision caused several cracks to appear on the surface of the Blood Demon Sword. ?Those black lines representing the souls of the vampires began to tremble violently, emitting shrill whines and howls. Seeing this scene, Twilight''s eyes flashed with surprise: "He can actually control the power of blood?" But this breath doesnt seem to be of the same kind It seems that this little guy is more interesting than I thought. ??Twilight looked at the place where Xia En and the **** stream of light collided, where a small pool of fresh blood was left. ??The tip of this beautiful woman''s nose twitched slightly to capture the smell, and then she let out a faint groan from her throat and praised: "It tastes really good." Perhaps... giving him his first hug would be a good choice. The First Embrace is the method used by vampires to transform humans into their own kind. Furthermore, the higher the quality of the bloodline of a vampire, the nobler the bloodline of the same type will be after transformation. As a noble who has awakened [Golden Blood], Twilight''s first embrace is actually of extremely high value. ?Even some old human mystics would use a lot of resources in exchange for her first embrace, but Twilight never agreed. At the moment, she was interested in a human being she met by chance. ??If anyone who knew Twilight knew this, they would definitely be surprised. Then, Twilight continued to shoot in mid-air, consuming Xia En''s physical strength, only injuring but not killing. ?This kind of fighting method, which is similar to "cat playing with mouse", naturally cannot hide Xia En''s perception. He frowned slightly: "This woman... wants to capture me alive?" ??Although Xia En didn''t know what Twilight was thinking, it would obviously not be good if he was captured alive by the enemy. ?However, the reduction in the intensity of Twilight''s attack also gave Xia En a chance to breathe. We have to take advantage of this opportunity to fight back, at least to make her lose the ability to fly. Xia En took a deep breath, and the [Chaos Demon Patterns] on his body and face lit up slightly, and huge secret power flowed and accumulated in his body... Huh? Twilight was also a little surprised when she noticed the unknown fluctuation of secret power. This little guy has quite a lot of secrets. "And looking at it this way, he is quite handsome. If he is strong enough, he might be an excellent bed partner." As if thinking of something, Twilight smiled ambiguously. But at the same time, she also pulled the trigger again. She has almost played the hunting game, now its time to play some more fun games. Hence, this **** stream of light is obviously much thicker than before, like a blazing meteor, falling suddenly! Xia En''s eyes widened, and the [Storm Power] accumulated in his body suddenly flowed, superimposed with the power of the ship soul again, and the Blood Demonic Sword in his hand slashed against the stream of light. The blood flashed by. There was no violent roar, but Xia En''s body froze on the spot. ??And on the Blood Demon Sword in his hand, countless cracks appeared in the blink of an eye, and then silently annihilated and shattered. ??The magic sword that had been accompanying Xia En since the beginning of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was completely destroyed. ?Of course, with the talent of [Blood Power], Xia En can create a blood sword again at any time. But the **** sword that was reshaped was not the original one after all. Its not just that. There was a buzzing sound in Xia En''s ears, and his vision went dark again. At the same time, his whole body was shaking, even his internal organs were shaken, and he couldn''t help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. How can it be so easy to receive a full-strength blow from the fifth level? Seeing this, Twilight raised a smile on her lips and began to descend. Little guy, what do you think you are running from? Surrender early, and you wont have to endure this hardship... Halfway through Twilight''s words, her expression suddenly changed. ?Just because Xia En, who seemed to be out of breath, suddenly raised his head, and from the palm of his hand, a purple and dark red beam of light as thick as a thumb shot out. ?The speed of the beam is so fast. ?Even though Twilight''s reaction was fast, she still couldn''t avoid the attack of this beam. A charred blood hole immediately appeared on Twilight''s shoulder. ?What is strange is that the blood at the wound has a faint golden color, like burning broken gold. "What!?" ?Twilight raised her eyebrows. She didnt expect that in this situation, Xia En would actually have a way to hurt herself. ?Furthermore, she could clearly feel that in the wound, a numbing and burning sensation was rapidly spreading into the flesh and blood.?????This is the secret power of [Embers] and [Thunder] contained in the magic pattern of Shan En. After contacting flesh and blood, they immediately spread deeper into the body. Its a pity...it only hit the shoulder. Xia En glanced at Twilight regretfully and thought to himself: "If it hits the heart, it will probably win with one blow." ?However, he also knew that this was just a beautiful idea. The higher the rank, the more powerful the person is, the more sensitive he is to danger. So before he took action, Twilight was aware of it. ?The distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared in a flash. Xia En''s steps did not pause for half a second and continued to escape. Okay, very good! ??Twilight covered her pierced shoulder, and the smile on her lips finally became a little angry. I havent experienced the feeling of being hurt for a long time. ??Given the huge gap in rank between her and Xia En, Twilight always had a somewhat condescending attitude. But now, she was actually hurt by this little guy. This is undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for her! ??Twilight flapped her wings again, turned into a hurricane, and chased Xia En. Even though there are two restless secret powers raging in the body, Twilight''s speed is still much faster than Xia En when she exerts her full strength. The distance between the two people is also shortening rapidly. Perceiving this, Xia En frowned. In fact, in his expectation, the beam attack just now should be more powerful. It was just because of the special environment of [Sand Island] that he made a small misjudgment. At the moment, Xia En actually still has [Giant Wristwheel] and several other [Storm Power] cards that he has not used yet. But with the strength Twilight has shown, I am afraid that even after turning into a giant, he will not be her opponent. ?This feeling of being forced into a desperate situation is really not a pleasant feeling. At this time. Xia En looked happy. He felt the movement of the air. The wind is blowing! He raised his head and looked ahead, only to see a ball of whistling yellow sand appearing on the vast desert. ??Yellow sand keeps circling and wandering, forming a tornado-like shape. ??The originally bright and clear sky became dark and depressing because of the strong wind. A sandstorm is about to sweep over. The first thing affected by the strong wind is naturally the twilight in mid-air. Her figure was swaying a little, and her flying posture was no longer as smooth as before. Damn, its just at this time! ?Twilight cursed secretly, a dark golden light flashed in her eyes, and her speed increased again. Obviously, she wanted to catch Xia En before entering the sandstorm. ?There was a thunderbolt in the air, Twilight''s fingers tightened, and lightning and thunder burst out in all directions. ?This grab is extremely powerful. If Xia En is caught, he will lose the ability to move instantly. But the next moment. A dark yellow arrow seemed to have crossed the space, appeared out of thin air in Twilight''s chest, and shot towards her heart. ??Twilight''s color suddenly changed, and with an angry roar, her body stagnated in the air. But the arrow made a turn and still pierced Twilight''s body. It was just because of Twilight''s movement that it only hit her lower abdomen. ??Twilight endured the severe pain and turned her head to look in the direction of the arrow. On a sand dune, a figure in a yellow robe was holding a long bow and staring at the dusk in the air. ?This figure looks slender and tall, and seems to be a woman. Surrounded by several indigenous people, the stars and the moon were guarding her. This shows her special status. Seeing Twilight''s actions, the man drew his bow and arrow again, preparing to shoot her down. Saint of the Sand ?Twilight squeezed out a sentence through her teeth: "The revenge of this arrow today will be repaid twice as much in the future!" She glanced at Xia En with her peripheral vision and found that he had broken into the scope of the sandstorm. She knew that she would not be able to catch this interesting little guy today. So, Twilight gave up decisively and descended from the height, preparing to treat the wounds and deal with the coming sandstorm. ?This sandstorm is not that easy to deal with! Xia En, who broke into the sandstorm, had already felt this. The rough wind and sand blew in my face and fell on my skin, causing a knife-like pain. You must know that the gravity of the [Island of Sand] is far greater than that of the outside of the island, and the sand here is also much heavier than that of the outside world. The storm that can blow these sands is itself a powerful natural force. ??Especially because Xia En had experienced a battle with Twilight and had many injuries on his body, it only increased the threat of this storm. ?However, Xia En still stood in the sandstorm without any hesitation and began to plunder the power of this special storm. strength! In order to protect himself and his crew, and to deal with Twilight who might catch up at any time, he must draw strength as soon as possible! And, use this power to break through the fourth level! Hu-hu- In the desert, the wind howled, and the terrible wind and sand sliced ??through Xia En''s body like an iron blade. Within a moment, his body surface became dripping with blood and there were wounds everywhere, making him look extremely horrifying. The wound continued to heal under Xia En''s self-healing power, and then expanded under the devastation of the wind and sand. ?This kind of suffering is definitely not something ordinary people can endure. But at the same time. ?This hot, rough, and painful storm power also continued to pour into Xia En''s body during this process. Chaos and violence, but with its own rules and core. During this process, an unspeakable understanding gradually arose in Xia En''s heart. It turns out that this is the real power of the storm... I have only scratched the surface of its use before. I dont know how much time passed before Xia En opened his eyes in the wind and sand, as if there was a thunder across the dark sky and earth. Comprehensive quality: 3.183.4! Black Swan "Mysterious" +2! Current "Storm Power": No attributes (1), extreme cold (0), embers (1), magnetic thunder (1), wind and sand (1)! Career fit: 100%! At the moment when the career compatibility jumped to 100%, an extremely clear call suddenly sounded in Xia En''s ears. That was the invitation from [Secret Sea] to him. ?This time, Xia En still chose to accept it happily! Soon, a familiar pulling feeling came from the depths of my soul. Sink, sink again Xia En''s consciousness gradually sank into the dark sea full of stars and streams of light... (End of this chapter) Chapter 189 Special promotion copy [Pirate Principality! 】 Chapter 189 Special Promotion Copy[Pirate Principality! When Xia En woke up, the oncoming sunlight suddenly blinded him. ?The terrifying sandstorm that had been dark just now disappeared, replaced by the gentle sea breeze and the blue sea. Um? Azure blue? Perceiving this, Xia En was suddenly shocked. Shouldnt the sea water in the promotion ritual be black? Captain John! John! ?The call from beside him brought Xia En back to his senses. The person calling him was a strange pirate with a scar on his face. ?The pirate looked at Shane with a strange look on his face, and said with a smile: "Hey, John, why are you hanging out here alone?" "We are about to arrive at our destination. You must be prepared to apologize to Lord Augustine." ?Xia En looked around calmly, but his heart gradually stirred up huge waves. Because at this time, the ship under his feet was not the Black Swan that he was familiar with, but another ship that he had never seen before. Not only that, Xia En didnt know any of the crew members on the ship. Looking at their clothes and behavior, they all look like senior pirates who have been at sea for a long time! Xia En looked down again and found that his dress and the thickness of his arms were different from before entering the ritual. It is not difficult to guess that his appearance may also be different from before. He called me...Captain John? Xia En''s mind flashed, and he guessed in his heart: "Have I traveled through time again?" No, its unlikely. My power is still there and can be called upon at any time. In other words, this space is actually part of the promotion ritual? ?Just when Xia En was thinking secretly. ?A few lines of text appeared in front of his eyes. You are John Smith, twenty-eight years old this year, and one of the twelve disciples of Augustine Norwich, the "Pirate King". A month ago, Augustine led his fleet to explore an unknown sea area, but failed. Most of the crew members he carried were killed or injured, and Augustine himself was seriously injured. He hid in the pirate principality and never showed up again. This situation has made the pirates in the Pirate Principality and various countries in the Southern Continent ready to take action. Just a week ago, you received a letter from Augustine. He summoned all the twelve disciples to prepare for a pirate conference. But what Augustine didn''t know was that some of his twelve disciples had betrayed him and were preparing to take away his throne at this pirate conference... ?After reading this paragraph, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Judging from this information, he is indeed on the promotion track. Its just the form of the promotion ritual this time, but its hugely different from the past. ??? Before Xia En could continue to think deeply, a few more lines of text jumped out in front of his eyes. Trial mission: Necessary tasks Find the traitor among the Twelve Apostles and ensure Augustine''s safety in the ritual. Optional mission Perfect performance: Continue to play as John Smith without being seen through and exposed by other trialists. The Last Supper: Killing the traitors among the Twelve Apostles. The treasure is mine: Obtain "Twilight Black Pearl". Famous in all directions: Gain as much reputation as possible as a pirate principality. On the Throne: Obtain Augustine''s approval and become the pirate king! Note: The death of the tester will be regarded as a mission failure! Everything you experience in the "Secret Sea" is related to but different from the real history of reality. Perhaps, the real history has been changed long ago, but no one can remember the original history. Most of the characters appearing here are virtual projections, and their strength will be adjusted according to the level of the promotion ritual. The flow of time in this sea area is 10,000 times faster than reality. ?Xia Ens pupils suddenly contracted after seeing all this clearly. ??The promotion ritual this time was completely different from what he had imagined before. First of all, judging from the time point, the era when the Pirate King was still alive was obviously in the past. ?However, this "going back to the past" is obviously not like an encounter in the Elven Temple, but more like entering an afterimage of history. Or, a copy made from past history? Everything done here will not change the established history. Secondly, here, Shane no longer acts as his own identity, but needs to play the role of "John Smith". ??Moreover, it is not difficult to guess from the description of this information... ??Xia En is definitely not the only one who will be promoted to the ritual tester this time. ??Whether it is the complexity of the ritual or the difficulty of the task, this promotion trial is several times deeper than the previous three levels of trials. Is there such a big difference between the third-level and fourth-level rituals? No wonder some people say that the fourth level is the first dividing line for those on the secret path. ?Xia En sighed secretly in his heart: "But, necessary tasks and optional tasks?" ?The necessary tasks are well understood. ?This is the main line of this promotion ritual. If it is not completed, it may be directly judged as a failure of promotion. But the optional missions are very interesting. The panel does not explain what rewards will be obtained for completing the optional tasks, nor does it say whether there will be any penalties for not completing them. ??According to Xia En''s speculation, this optional task is likely to determine the final trial evaluation. Or ??Is there a limit to the number of people who can be promoted in this ceremony? ?Completing optional tasks can improve your ranking among the trialists, but will trialists with lower rankings be eliminated? ?However, no matter what kind of speculation it is, it is always right to complete as many tasks as possible. Youve come, you cant leave empty-handed, right? ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes first scanned the pirate ship. He needs to understand his current situation before he can consider his next move. While observing the surroundings, some related memories emerged in Xia En''s mind. Obviously, this is a little convenience provided by [Secret Sea] for the trialists to play. From this, Xia En learned that the three-masted sailboat under his feet was named [Sky Serpent]. The scar-faced pirate just now is the first mate of the Serpentis, named Philip. ?Looking at the strength of the pirates on the ship, they are generally only at the second level, with only a few at the third level. ?This kind of combat power may be able to dominate the sea, but no matter how you think about it, one of the Twelve Apostles should not be on the ship. ?At this moment, Xia En understood the meaning of the sentence [The strength of the projected character will be adjusted according to the level of this trial]. This is equivalent to lowering everyones strength. So that there will be no imbalance in combat power. ?Aware of this, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief. ??If he were to face those seventh-level strong men in history, he would probably only be able to say "Huh? I''m playing a legend?" and then be completely crushed. ?Xia Ens behavior of looking around also attracted the attention of other people on the boat. Soon, Philip asked with a smile: "Captain John, why are you acting strange today?" "Is it because you are about to see Lord Augustine, and you are afraid of being held accountable, so you feel guilty?" ?His tone sounded a little sinister, not the way a first mate should treat a captain. With the help of the remaining memories in his mind, Shane quickly understood Phillip''s strange attitude. It turns out that among the Twelve Apostles, this "John Smith" had a somewhat special status. He was the youngest and the weakest in strength, but he was deeply loved by Augustine and was even the adopted son of the pirate king. ?This kind of special favor has been prone to the jealousy of others since ancient times. John is no exception. ?Just two months ago, John received an order from Augustine to carry out an important mission. But in the end, under heavy resistance, John failed. This is naturally regarded by pirates as a symbol of incompetence. As for the conflict between Philip and John, it actually happened over a day or two. The reason is simple. This ship "Sky Serpent" did not originally belong to John. Only after the old captain of the Serpentis died unexpectedly, Augustine made the decision and directly rewarded John. ?Philip, who could have naturally become the captain, resented John because of this. ?On the surface he was obedient, but secretly he was always plotting something nefarious, colluding with other crew members in an attempt to remove John from his position as captain. ??If it were an ordinary pirate, he might have been purged long ago. ??But this John''s temperament was soft, and he still had a hint or two of the naivety of a young man, which made Philip''s attitude become more and more arrogant. ?Now that I think about it carefully, the failure of that mission may also be inseparable from this first officer. ?After thinking about the ins and outs behind this, Xia En''s thoughts became clear instantly. No matter which ship he was on, there could only be one voice. That is...the captain''s will! ?Xia En narrowed his eyes and slowly scanned the pirates around him. ??As he glanced around, the pirates'' hearts skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and they felt as if they were being targeted by ferocious beasts in the deep sea. Some of the weaker pirates could not help but have their hearts beating rapidly and their hairs standing on end. ?They just discovered today that Captain John, who is usually mild to a bit weak, can actually have such power once he gets serious! Upon seeing this, Philip''s face turned cold and he shouted softly: "John, what do you want to do?!" Humph, what do I want to do? Xia En sneered: "Should I ask you this?" You and other apostles secretly framed me, hindered my actions, and dared to openly ignore my orders. Could it be that you wanted to rebel? ?Philip was shocked and angry. He had no idea that John would suddenly attack today. ??But as a pirate who licks blood from his knife, Philip is certainly not without a temper. He looked gloomy and said resentfully. So what about rebellion? You just gained Augustines favor and became the captain of the Serpent. In terms of strength, talent, and means, in what way am I not better than you? At this point, Philip roared out as if he wanted to vent all his past grievances. Without Augustine, you are nothing! ?At this moment, a cold and calm voice sounded from behind him. So, you really want to disobey Lord Augustines order? You should be very clear about the consequences of betraying the Pirate King, right? Hearing this, a chill rose up behind Philip, and his hair stood up. ? Augustine''s title as "King of Pirates" was not spoken out loud, but was revealed in battles. ??Everyone who opposed him being the king is dead! Even though Augustine was said to be seriously injured, few people dared to openly disobey his orders. While Philip was horrified, he suddenly realized: "He was just waiting for me to say these words..." The next moment. A sharp scimitar slashed straight at his throat. ??Phillip is a third-level Mystic after all. At the critical moment, he shouted loudly, his size suddenly increased, and he pulled out the dagger at his waist and blocked the scimitar. But the strength and sturdy dagger he was proud of could not last even a second in front of the scimitar. ?The power on the opponent''s blade is incredible! It was as if a ship had hit his own weapon, causing the dagger to shatter. The moment the machete cuts through the flesh. ??Phillip groaned, and suddenly used a unique secret method, and appeared behind Xia En like a flash. Go to hell! ??Phillip''s face was ferocious, his eyes were red, and a poisonous hidden sword popped out of his sleeve, about to pierce Shane''s back. ?But when the sword was thrust out, the feeling coming from the sword was very strange. You can be proud if you can block one of my moves. But the second move...how are you going to take it? ?Philipp stiffly tilted his head, and Shane''s figure came to his side at some point. ??And what he had pierced before was just an afterimage of this man. His speed is actually so fast? ??In Phillip''s desperate eyes, Shane slashed with his knife, and a big head fell to the deck. After rolling twice, Gululu stopped moving. Everything happened too fast. ?From the time Philip started taunting to the time his head hit the ground, it was less than three minutes in total. The powerful strength and methods shown by Xia En in the battle shocked everyone on the ship. ?That was one of the strongest third-level mystics on the ship, and he was killed like a chicken? In fact, this is the performance that Shane 3.4''s comprehensive quality should have. ??Even though he was in such a miserable state under the hands of the vampire Twilight, he seemed to have no power to fight back. ?That''s not because he is weak, but because the enemy is too strong! ?Facing the Mystics who are also at the third level, especially those who are good at physical strength like Philip, Xia En can achieve an instant kill effect. This is also the reason why Xia En dares to use thunderous means. At this time, facing the stunned pirates on the ship, Xia En said loudly. "You have all heard that Philip intends to rebel against Lord Augustine. As the captain, I have the obligation to clear the door for Lord Augustine." Do you...do any of you have an opinion? Looking at Xia En''s stern face and the headless corpse still bleeding at his feet. ?The pirates were silent, no one dared to say a word. This is the world of pirates! The law of the jungle is clearly reflected in the law of the jungle. They all know that from today on, the man in front of them will become the real owner of this ship! (End of this chapter) Chapter 190 lend me your strength Chapter 190 Lend me your power On the deck of the Serpentis. Captain John, everything you asked has been done. In front of Xia En, a pirate with bronze skin and a strong body reported to him honestly. Well done, Carney. Xia En smiled slightly and said: "From today on, you are the first mate of the [Sky Serpent]!" Carney showed faint excitement on his face, nodded heavily and said: "Yes, Captain!" After Philip''s death, it was certainly impossible for Shane to do nothing. He first selected a few of Philip''s cronies to be killed in public, and then promoted the pirates who were friends with John to first mate and second mate. In this way, one group is drawn and one group is beaten, plus Xia Ens own force... At least on the surface, he has become the absolute talker of the ship. As for this pirate named Carney, he is one of John''s confidants, so he naturally takes the opportunity to take over. What Shane asked him to do was to appease the unidentified pirates on the ship and give them all of Philip''s savings. ??Although Xia En has never been a serious pirate, he also knows very well that these pirates follow him not for the sake of loyalty, but to make a fortune! ?Only when the pirates see the benefits, will they be willing to use Xia En. ?Shaan was thinking about these trivial matters while observing the pirates on the ship. ?According to his observations, the behavior, demeanor, and language of these pirates are all the same as ordinary humans. Even the resentment shown by Philip and the excitement of Carney were extremely realistic. Are they really just virtual characters projected by [Unknown Sea]? Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. ??The projection NPCs that appeared in the last ritual were just dull wooden people. But now, they can hardly tell the difference from ordinary people. ??Is this a transformation of the promotion ritual itself? Or, as their ranks increase, the trialists get closer to the secrets deep in the [Secret Sea]? Obviously, these issues are not something that Xia En can think clearly at the moment. At this time, Xia Ens eyes fell on this sailboat, which was neither too big nor too small, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind Although this is not his precious [Black Swan], it is his ship in name and substance! ?So, can I communicate with the spirit of this ship? Even Submarinein this sea area? ! ?Thinking of this possibility, Xia En''s heart was beating fast. ?However, he remained calm on the surface. After giving orders to several pirates, he returned to the captain''s cabin unhurriedly. It''s okay to show extraordinary strength. John Smith can become one of the twelve apostles. His combat power is not weak, but his personality hinders him. A sudden outburst after being bullied is actually quite reasonable. ??But if he shows some abilities that don''t belong to John, I''m afraid the pirates on the ship will have some doubts. Go back to the captain''s cabin and close the door. ?Xia En reached out and touched the inner wall of the cabin, activating the talent of [Communication with Ship Soul]. ? With his current ability, he can actually use this ability whether he touches the hull or not. But doing so, on the one hand, increases the sense of ceremony, and on the other hand, it expresses one''s goodwill to the ship. Rather than directly and roughly instilling consciousness into the body of [Sky Serpent]. [Serpentus], can you hear my voice? ??Xia En slowly stroked the wall of the cabin and said in his heart. If you hear me, please respond to me. After a long silence, a weak voice sounded in Xia En''s mind. squeak? ?This voice is very young and crisp, with confusion and confusion, like a new sprout that has just sprouted. Inexplicably, Xia En remembered the first time he heard the voice of [Black Swan], and smiled slightly. ?Unknowingly, so long has passed? Obviously, the ship spirit of the "Sky Serpent" is still in a state of confusion, unable to communicate smoothly, and can only barely convey its emotions. ?However, when it comes to raising children, once they are born, they will become mature again. Having the previous experience of cultivating the [Black Swan], Xia En reassured him with familiarity. Dont be afraid, I am your captain. "We have only known each other for a short time, and I don''t think you will regard me as your master." But at least, I hope we can be temporary partners. I will fight for your safety, and I hope you can provide me with strength. Zhiwu? The mood conveyed by [Sky Snake] is even more confusing. ?It felt keenly that this captain seemed to be a little different from the one he knew. But the specific differences cannot be known by the newly born spiritually intelligent [Sky Serpent]. While casually chatting with the [Sky Serpent], Xia En opened the panel and found that the words [Deep Sea Submarine] on it were brightly lit. It really works! ?Xia Ens eyes lit up. ?He didn''t hesitate for long before his mind pressed lightly on [Submarine]. Submarine, start! After a familiar sinking feeling. ?Shane opened his eyes. What appeared in front of him was a piece of blue water. ?However, unlike diving in reality, there are not countless submerged city ruins under the seabed in this era. Xia En did not intend to gain any benefits while submersing, but planned to use it as a hidden means of killing. Whether they encounter pirates or other enemies, the projection body can give them an "unexpected surprise!" Soon, Xia En discovered... The situation in this sea area seems to be different from what he expected? ? Around Xia En, there was indeed ordinary sea water, but when he looked down, he could see a deep darkness studded with stars and streams of light. ifier Xia En took a slight breath: "Is that the [Secret Sea]?" ?His mind turned around and he quickly figured out the truth behind this. In this special promotion copy, the sea water on the surface is normal, but once you dive into a certain depth, you will come into contact with the real [Secret Sea]! Not only that, this copy probably has its own boundaries. It is impossible for the tester to endlessly explore outward, downward, and upward. Simply put, this dungeon looks like an open world, but in fact it is just a small garden world. So it seems like this is a [secret realm]? Xia En thought of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] he had visited before. From this point of view, there were many similarities between the two. Soon, Xia En dived to the bottom of normal sea water. ?The strange thing is that here, the [Secret Sea] can still set off layers of waves, as if it is reaching out to invite him. To be honest, Xia En hesitated briefly. The last time he dived into the [Secret Sea], the impression was so profound that it left a certain psychological shadow on him. Who wouldnt be impressed by encountering a full-level BOSS just after leaving the novice village? ?However, things have changed now. Xia En is already a third-level mystic with a strength close to the fourth level. After passing the promotion ritual, he became a fourth-level practitioner. Perhaps...you have some qualifications to explore the [Secret Sea]? What Xia En wants to do is not to directly explore the deepest part of the [Secret Sea], but to leave a [Submarine Anchor] in the [Secret Sea]! Thats right, during this period of hard leveling, the ship spirit level of [Diamond Star] has also been raised to LV3. Just as Xia En guessed, this upgrade increased the number of [Submarine Anchors] by one. ??If you can leave an anchor point in the [Secret Sea], the benefits are self-evident. Xia En can not only feel the breath of the [Secret Sea] at any time, but also explore those mysterious and ancient light bubbles and spots. ?There are definitely countless good things hidden in those [secret realms]. After hesitating for a moment, Xia En gritted his teeth. Lets fight! Its just a projection anyway, if it works, if it doesnt work, get out now! With this layer of ordinary sea water, Xia En finally had a way out. ?So, Xia En dived down suddenly. With a "pop" sound, his body seemed to have broken through a membrane and entered the [Secret Sea]. The water pressure around him immediately increased a lot, and at the same time, there was still a bit of cold and mysterious power seeping into the body of the projection. Ship Soul Power -2! ??Xia En saw the visible drop in the power of the ship''s soul, and did not dare to hesitate, and immediately set up the [Submarine Anchor]. Soon, he was about to get out of the [Secret Sea]. A call suddenly came from the depths of the [Secret Sea]. ?At first, Xia En couldn''t understand the meaning of the call, he only felt a roar in his mind. ? It was as if there were several invisible tentacles deep in the void, stirring his brain vigorously and vigorously. ?Humming and rumbling noises sounded, like the roar of a monster or the whisper of darkness. The surrounding sea water seems to have turned into black holes, and countless lights and stars are twisting, changing, and squirming... It can be the next moment. All the changes around him disappeared. And the call became a language that Xia En could understand. Come Stay close to me and I will make you the king of the world! ?This call is extremely bewitching and seems to be pointing directly at people''s hearts. Xia En, however, seized this moment of clarity and immediately swam upward. ?However, at the moment when he was about to emerge from the [Secret Sea], a terrifying force fell on the projection body from an extremely long distance. In an instant, the body of the projection was torn apart. Submarine is over! ?Looking at this line of text, Xia En''s consciousness was still a little dazed, and his eyesight turned black. ?Xia En took a deep breath and finally regained consciousness. ?Recalling what just happened, he couldn''t help but smile bitterly. ??The owner of that call is not simple. His rank is comparable to that of the behemoth he saw last time. Such beings are almost impossible to encounter outside the [Secret Sea], but in the [Secret Sea], they are not much rarer than the fish in the sea. Maybe its really a fish? Its just bigger. Xia En secretly complained: "But, what is it calling me for?" And I just entered the [Secret Sea], and it reacted..." ?Xia En couldnt figure it out for a while, so he simply didnt think about it. ?That level of existence is a bit too far away for him now. Fortunately, at least the [submersible anchor point] is set there, so we dont have to wait until the next promotion ritual. ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s face showed joy. ??Although for him, [Secret Sea] is still a copy of Hell difficulty. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Furthermore, Xia En can do without this anchor point to the [Secret Sea], but he cannot do without it! ?Suddenly, a rapid and penetrating "alarm bell" sounded. ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. Its the alarm sounding on the ship! But who is so bold as to attack the ship of one of the Twelve Apostles? ?Xia En didn''t have time to think too much, he rushed out of the room and came to the deck. At the same time, the pirates who heard the alarm bell rushed out with weapons in hand. Report Captain! There are two unidentified pirate ships approaching us from the southwest and northwest! The lookout on the mast exclaimed slightly panicked. Xia En turned around and looked. ?On the sea, two ships with sharp collision angles were seen approaching the "Sky Serpent" like two sharp knives. Looking at the menacing posture, they obviously did not come with good intentions. There is no mark on the sail. Is it deliberately hidden? You dont want to reveal your identity? ?Xia En frowned, his mind working rapidly. Who dares to attack this apostle? Even if John is the weakest of the twelve apostles, he is definitely not someone that ordinary pirates would dare to provoke. Because behind him, stood the pirate king! Suddenly, Xia En woke up. Hiss... No! Maybe, this is a game against Augustine! Augustine was now said to have been seriously injured, but no one knew the extent of his injuries. Many pirates did not dare to attack Augustine, so they naturally chose to test his apostles. ?If Augustine did not respond, it would mean that his injuries were serious and someone would try to usurp the throne. ??And if Augustine carried out **** revenge, then everything would be the same as before, without any change. Only, there will be one less apostle named John Smith in the world. But then, who would care? Dead people have no value. Xia En''s thoughts were like lightning, and he quickly figured out the reason behind this. ?In the eyes of outsiders, he only froze for two or three seconds before his expression returned to normal and he opened his mouth to give orders. Everyone, get back to your places! The rigging master raises the topsail, the gunner loads the ammunition, and Ill take the helm myself! Just two pirate ships, kill them all! There was a convincing majesty in his voice, and all the pirates acted instinctively according to their respective responsibilities. The captain is the backbone of a ship, and seeing Shane so calm and collected, the pirates gained more confidence. At this time, Xia En walked to the rudder of the ship and took hold of the unfamiliar steering wheel. ??Although Xia En was not bound to the Sky Serpent, the moment he held the steering wheel, he still vaguely felt that the ship was trembling slightly. The immature soul of the ship is uneasy and panicking. Are you scared? A smile appeared on Xia En''s lips: "Then, lend me your power! I will lead you out of the siege!" After a short period of silence. What responded to him was a particularly loud neighing! (End of this chapter) Chapter 191 Field versus field Chapter 191 Fighting the Realm with the Realm Xia En was determined after receiving the response from [Sky Snake]. ?However, the current situation is far from being able to breathe a sigh of relief. ?Two unidentified pirate ships on the sea are still approaching menacingly, and the distance between the [Sky Serpent] and the two ships is rapidly shortening. ??Moreover, looking at their size, speed, and even the number of people on board, they seem to be slightly better than the "Sky Serpent". ?Its difficult to deal with one ship, let alone two? ?But think about it, since they are attacking the apostles under Augustine, how could the enemy not be prepared? ?At this time, Xia En had another weird idea. Perhaps these people attacked me just because John was the weakest of the twelve apostles. ?Thinking about it carefully, John Smiths identity does have quite a lot of pitfalls. ?Augustines adopted son and the weakest of the twelve apostles, could not restrain even the first mate of his own ship. It is difficult not to remind Sean of the special features of previous promotion rituals. ?His trial tasks always seem to be much more difficult than ordinary people. ?Furthermore, Xia En also had a hunch that this identity pit was just a small pit, and the real big pit was yet to come! ?Withdrawing his complicated thoughts, Xia En looked at the two ships approaching at speed, knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable. Since you can''t escape, of course you can only face it head on. ?Then, as he has done countless times in the past When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins! ??Xia En''s eyes showed fighting spirit, and he shouted loudly: "Kani, follow my command and prepare to use your abilities!" Gunner, covering fire! Yes, Captain! The pirates responded loudly. ?Although Xia En himself didn''t notice it, his [Captain''s Dignity] had taken effect quietly. Including the effect of enhancing the morale and attributes of the entire crew at the first level [Captain]. ?This halo effect is of little use on the Black Swan because its crew are all determined and unusual people. But on the [Sky Snake], this small ability has exerted extraordinary effects. ??The pirates who were originally timid and scared in front of a strong enemy, and perhaps even thought about surrendering, only felt a surge of confidence and courage arise out of thin air in their hearts. Its like ??As long as you follow the captain in front of you and obey his orders, you will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties in front of you! Boom! boom! boom! The artillery fire roared, and the iron cannonballs fell on the sea, splashing high water. But these shells did not come from the [Sky Serpent], but the two unidentified pirate ships fired first! However, what surprised the pirates. ?In the midst of the rising water pillars, the [Sky Serpent] showed a different shape and agility than usual. It was like a spiritual snake, snaking under the gunfire, and the momentum of charging forward was not reduced at all. On the contrary, several of the Sky Serpent''s shells landed on the other side''s ships, causing some casualties. ?However, the artillery fire on each other is just a test after all. Both sides understand that the battle that really determines the outcome is the boarding battle! This is also the mainstream fighting method of pirates in this era. ? At this time, the two enemy ships attacked the "Sky Serpent" from the left and right, intending to poke two holes in it with their sharp and thick ramming horns. ?? Once the hull is seriously damaged, the [Sky Serpent] will probably sink directly in this sea area, let alone reaching the Pirate Principality. ?Seeing that the distance between the ships on the left and right was shortening, Xia En''s expression remained unchanged, patiently waiting for the opportunity to come. Its about to hit! Carney was sweating and extremely nervous. ??He could vaguely guess Xia En''s purpose of using his ability, but when he entrusted such an important task to himself, he couldn''t help but feel a little uneasy. ?Especially looking at the two ships approaching quickly, Carney''s heart almost jumped into his throat. ?He turned to look at Xia En, a little confused as to why the captain could still look so calm at this time. At the next moment. ?Shaan ordered: "Kani, now!" ?Carney did not hesitate, a thick smoke spurted out from his pores, like the ink spitted out by an octopus, covering a small half of the sea. ?This is one of Carney''s unique abilities. Although it looks weird, he can win unexpectedly at critical moments! In the blink of an eye. The thick black mist completely enveloped the [Sky Serpent], and it continued to expand. The two dagger-like pirate ships also suddenly realized that something was wrong and wanted to forcibly slow down. It''s just that they rushed too fast and too urgently, and the timing of the black mist emerging was too clever. Its too late to slow down at this point! Soon, the two ships plunged into the black fog. On the [Sky Serpent], Xia Ens eyes were surprisingly bright. ?He held the steering wheel tightly and suddenly turned the rudder to the left. The ship''s hull tilted a little under this violent turn. [Sky Serpent], charge up! Squeak!! The [Sky Serpent] struggled to squeeze out the last bit of performance, and actually increased its speed again, barely avoiding the two ships attacking from the left and right. followed by. Boom! With a slightly low muffled sound, the two pirate ships suddenly collided! ?Even though their captains had slowed down as much as possible and tried their best to deflect the ship, this collision was still no small matter. ??The hulls of the two ships were scratched by the other''s collision angle with huge cracks. The wooden boards shattered, the hulls shook, and several crew members were even knocked off the deck. Damn it! How can that ship be so nimble? That ship [Sky Serpent] seems to have come alive! On the unknown pirate ship, the two captains'' expressions changed in unison, and they were both shocked and angry. ?According to their original plan, capturing and even killing John Smith should have been a certainty. ?But who would have thought that the most inconspicuous apostle would actually show extraordinary ship control skills. It can be said that at the last moment, the [Sky Serpent] made an almost impossible tactical move and managed to escape from the pinch between the two ships. The question is ?This ability is inconsistent with the information they received previously! Just as the two third-level captains were secretly surprised, a scream suddenly sounded from the deck! ?This vast black fog is composed of secret power. Although it has no lethality, it is enough to obscure the sight. ??The pirates on the two ships were already panicking and uneasy because of the violent collision. Where did they find that there was an extra person on the ship? It was this scream that made everyone startle and look around uneasily. But soon, another scream sounded. ?This time, the pirates also heard the sound of scimitars tearing flesh and smelled the diffuse smell of blood. The emotion of fear is contagious! Especially in this dark environment, almost everyone among the pirates is in danger. In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted. The people from the [Sky Serpent] are on board! ??Then with a bang, a fireball-like spell suddenly exploded among the pirates. ??The shouts and shouts were like a flame, directly igniting the explosive barrel that could explode at any time, plunging the scene into complete chaos. For a time, in order to protect themselves, all the pirates resorted to various means to attack anyone who came close to them. There were not a few pirates who died at the hands of their own people. The third-level captain was a smart man and immediately spoke up to tell everyone not to panic. But at the next moment, a black shadow came behind him and started fighting with him at close range. ?The captain who can be responsible for the attack on the [Sky Serpent] is certainly not an ordinary third-level powerhouse, and he is also famous among pirates. Just as soon as the fight began, the captain realized something was wrong. The attacker''s strength is too great! ??After just one fight, the man almost couldn''t hold the knife in his hand, and the tiger''s mouth was sore. ??And when he took a step back, the opponent followed him like a shadow, his legs like a giant axe, and a long knife chopped off his head! There was another muffled sound. The captain raised his hands above his head and forcibly held the enemy''s leg. However, his body was shorter, and it turned out that one leg had already been hacked into the deck. Immediately, the black shadow ran like a giant beast, strode forward, and slashed at his neck with a knife. ?This set of offensive moves is smooth and powerful, like waves that are constantly washing away, becoming more and more unstoppable as time goes by. The captain was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Captain Bond, why don''t you take action!?" ?Shaan wanted to kill the captain in one go, but suddenly he felt a strong warning sign, and his body shone like a ghost. Immediately afterwards, a deep black dagger swiped across the spot where he had just been. Assassin? ?Xia En raised his eyebrows. Before the dagger stabbed out, he could barely notice anything strange. Even until now, Xia En has not sensed the assassin''s aura, which shows that the opponent''s hiding level is high! Obviously, this is a third-level assassin! ?And an assassin can actually be a captain, this kind of thing is simply unheard of. ?However, now that they have met, Xia En will not be afraid of the other party. To capture the thief, capture the king first. Kill these two captains, and more than half of this crisis will be over! ?Thinking of this, Xia En decisively used all his strength and rushed towards the captain who had just climbed out of the deck. ??The captain did not flinch, let out an earth-shattering roar, and punched his chest. ??As the captain pounced, dozens of secret powers suddenly spurted out from around Xia En, condensing into sharp thorns that intertwined with each other, forming a death zone in an instant. Field? Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart, but in an instant he saw that this area was not that powerful. Obviously, due to the restriction of promotion to the ritual level, the captain''s domain has also been greatly weakened. Even so, this field also integrates enemy attack and restriction. Although it does not have many dazzling special effects, it is extremely practical. at the same time. A cold murderous intention flashed through Xia En''s heart. ?That assassin will definitely not miss such a good opportunity! While being besieged from both sides, Xia En was not afraid! ?His eyes became brighter and brighter, his aura became stronger and stronger, and the scimitar in his hand swept out like a long sword. JudgmentOne sword! In an instant. ??The pirates on the ship all felt their hearts skip a beat. ?This is obviously their ship, but this group of people inexplicably feel that everything around them, the black fog, the deck, the mast... all seem to be showing their fierce side to them. They are like sinners burdened with sins, waiting for the judgment of some being. Subsequently, a brilliant sword light broke into the pirate''s field of vision. They were dazzled and frightened. The battle in the black mist is actually not that long. But for the pirates who may die at any time, every minute and every second is extremely difficult. At this time, the black fog began to fade and disperse. Carney and the pirates of the "Sky Serpent" could no longer hold back. They threw out hooks and boarded the two ships that collided. Captain John! Captain John! Carney and the pirates were looking for Shane while cleaning up the remaining combat forces on the ship. To Carney''s surprise, the pirates on this ship suffered extremely heavy casualties. ?Although some pirates were still resisting, they failed to make much waves in the face of Carney and others who were recuperating. ??Some pirates had dull eyes and pale faces, and they looked frightened. Captain John did this all by himself? Carney was horrified. Just now, Xia En told them that he would be the first to board the ship alone, and the pirates were all shocked. But now, the pirates of the [Sky Serpent] know that he really has this ability! ?However, they were still a little uneasy at not seeing Captain John in person. Fortunately at this time, the black fog finally completely dissipated. The group of people saw Xia En''s figure at the bow of the ship. ?In his hand, he held the head of a captain, and the assassin was directly cut into two pieces, with shock and disbelief still on his face. ?Xia En closed his eyes, as if he was quietly comprehending something, and the sharp aura became more and more intense. Shadowblade Bond and Thornblade Geese! They were all killed by Captain John! The pirates made a small uproar. These two Secret Pathers are quite famous, and they both have the record of killing several powerful men of the same level. ?Especially "Shadow Blade" Bond, he is a feared top assassin! At this time, the pirates'' eyes changed subtly when they looked at Xia En. ?This time, Captain John not only showed his ability as a leader, but also proved his strength again! The fear these pirates have for him is no longer because of his status as an apostle, but because of him! Soon, Xia En opened his eyes and felt that he understood the meaning of the [Judgment] field a little better. Is there such a benefit in using a domain to fight a domain? Although the field of thorns of Gith has been greatly weakened, the field is still a field after all. This is not an ability that Xia En should have been exposed to at this stage, but he was exposed to it early because of this promotion ritual. ?Thinking deeper, Xia En realized that this ritual might not only have the benefit of promotion. Although the overall strength of the [Pirate Principality] copy has declined with its rank. But some of the secret techniques and abilities inside are genuine, and there may even be unique secret techniques of legendary strongmen among them! This is also an extremely valuable asset. ?Thinking deeply, maybe this is one of the purposes of the promotion ritual? Xia En shook his head, put aside these distracting thoughts, walked up to a prisoner, and asked. Tell me, who wants to kill me? (End of this chapter) Chapter 192 [Book of Shadows], the price of becoming a king Chapter 192 [Book of Shadows], the price of becoming a king As soon as he saw Xia En coming, the pirate prisoner''s eyes immediately showed deep fear. He knew very well that the other party was the God of Death who killed his companions one by one in the black mist just now! ?It was this man who killed his own captain with one against two! ??Pirates'' awe of the strong is engraved in their bones! But the prisoner still pretended to be calm and said: "Captain John, you really hide your secrets." This time, we chose the wrong target and we cant blame others. Xia En looked calm and said, "You haven''t answered my question yet." Who wants to kill me? The prisoner seemed to have understood his current situation and said honestly and seriously: "I don''t know." ?He smiled bitterly: "Young guys like us, how do we know who is behind the scenes?" "I''m afraid only Captain Keith and Captain Bond know, but..." The prisoner turned his head and glanced at the bodies of the two captains not far away, and the meaning was self-evident. Dead people cannot speak. As soon as these words came out, Xia En believed most of them. ? ?For such a major event as the attack on the apostles of the pirate principality, most of the inside information is known to only a few people. The other pirates are just tools to carry out the mission. ??But Shane still had some doubts about the prisoner. It is not his words that are doubtful, but his person! It was no coincidence that Xia En found this one among so many captives. ?In his perception, this prisoner hid part of his strength, and even in the fight in the black mist, this man held back and did not take action. The subsequent surrender was even more straightforward and not sloppy at all. ?Shaan thought of two possibilities. Either, this prisoner is a trump card prepared by the mastermind behind the scenes. Or, he may be one of the secretists participating in the promotion ritual! Xia En also just realized that although he is one of the twelve apostles, it does not mean that all trialists are like this. They may be apostles, they may be just an ordinary pirate, they may be a handyman, or they may even be members of other forces participating in the pirate conference. Their trial tasks may not be the same as Xia En''s. ?Maybe someones mission is to kill the pirate king! ?Thinking of this, Xia En twitched the corner of his mouth and secretly complained. Why does it feel like youre playing Werewolf? Hide your identity and mission on one side, and catch the mistakes of other trialists on the other. Isnt it just a werewolf killing! ?While Xia En was thinking, the prisoner continued. The ones who dare to attack you, Captain John, are only those few families, and maybe... two or three of the apostles are included. Xia En''s heart moved slightly. He actually knew who the those families the captives were referring to. First of all, lets start with the current structure of the [Pirate Principality]. ??Although the pirate king Augustine defeated all pirates on the high seas, to manage a "principal", fists alone are certainly not enough. ??Augustine could not manage such a large area of ????the sea alone. So, after establishing the "Pirate Principality", Augustine divided the sea into five jurisdictions. ??He himself is located in the richest and most prosperous central sea area, and the other four sea areas are governed by local pirates. The leaders of each jurisdiction are also famous pirates. Together with Augustine, they are called the "Five Kings of the Ocean", and some people call them "One Emperor and Four Emperors." ?Of course, in terms of strength and prestige, the four great pirates are far inferior to Augustine. ?But now, isnt Augustine seriously injured? ?Even the fleet that was taken out was mostly damaged. How could these powerful and ambitious pirates not want to test the waters? As for the other apostles mentioned by the captives, they are not completely alarmist. From the remaining memories of John, Sean learned that the relationship between him and several apostles was not harmonious. ?Maybe the first mate Philip and the failure of the last mission were all their fault. ??But Xia En vaguely felt that the other apostles were not bold enough to attack him directly. Oh, its so complicated and confusing... ?Xia En sighed, feeling a little tired. He has never been very good at these conspiracies. Just thinking about them makes him feel dizzy. He is still more accustomed to using absolute violence to crush people all the way. Simple, rough and direct! Why dont we just flip the table over! Xia Ens idea is just a thought at the moment. Even if the strength of the entire promotion ritual is suppressed, there will definitely be fourth-level or even fifth-level strong men in the [Pirate Principality]. With his current strength, he is not qualified to overturn the table. Soon, Xia En got rid of his distracting thoughts, looked at the prisoner in front of him, and spoke directly. Give me a reason not to kill you. Hearing this, the face of the unattractive prisoner suddenly changed. He realized that Xia En was really murderous. ??The prisoner was puzzled for a while, thinking that he had disguised himself so well, where did he reveal his true identity? ?Seeing that Xia En''s eyes were getting colder and colder, the prisoner did not dare to hesitate and spoke quickly. Collaborate! We can cooperate! Xia En said calmly: "What can you and I do to cooperate?" If people like us have the same purpose, why cant we cooperate? Many seniors have had this experience in the past, its not a shame. ??The prisoner''s words were strange, and the preface and the follower were inconsistent. The other pirates were confused when they heard what he said. Xia En understood immediately. He acknowledged his identity in disguise, and explained that this kind of cooperation between secret travelers is actually very common. ?However, this alone is not enough to gain Xia En''s trust. Shaan continued to ask: "So, where is your sincerity?" The prisoner smiled bitterly and said, "I can tell you...my name is Huiyun." This is my real name. ??Real name? Xia En was thoughtful. This real name obviously refers to the name of the prisoner in reality. In the optional mission, the description of the role is...not to be seen through and exposed by other trialists. ?Shaan had always thought that the key point was to see through, but now that he thinks about it, its actually about exposing! In other words, the criterion for failure is not that the tester failed in his performance, but that he was questioned and exposed. Knowing the real name is equivalent to having a handle and you can reveal the other party''s true identity at any time. But after thinking about it, Xia En still said: "Not enough." After all, the role-playing mission is an optional mission, and there is no indication of what the punishment will be if the mission fails. What if the prisoner is trying to get himself into trouble even if he fails in the mission? ?Hui Yun was so anxious that he was sweating, so he could only say: "I swear to the [Secret Sea], it''s okay?" Here, swearing to the [Secret Sea] has real effects. ?Shaan grinned: "Okay." After Huiyun made a vow that "during this ritual, he would not do anything detrimental to Captain John," Shane brought him to the captain''s cabin. Closing the door, Shane asked: "Tell me, what are your tasks and abilities?" Huiyun said honestly: "My necessary task is to ensure that Augustine does not die during the ritual." "As for my ability... I can only say that I am a [scholar] in the secret path." ?Xia En was deep in thought, and he suddenly realized that he had missed something again. The promotion ritual when breaking through to the third level. Only those who participate in the promotion are those in the secret path of [Captain]. At the fourth level and above, all the people from the secret way broke in and made a mess! The water of this promotion ritual is really deep! ?Xia En took a deep breath and looked at the gray cloud in front of him, thinking in his mind: "[Scholar] means that he is some kind of spell caster." However, I have never heard of the name Grey Cloud in the Seven Seas. Thinking about it carefully, with the size of the seven seas, Xia En has only explored a small corner, so it is normal to meet a mysterious person who has never heard of it. After having a few casual conversations with Hui Yun and exchanging information. ?Shane asked First Officer Carney to continue heading towards the [Pirate Principality], while he returned to the room and counted the spoils of the battle. Each of the two captains has a space ring. Xia En has already learned from Huiyun that some of the props and money obtained during the promotion ritual can be taken out of the ritual. ??Moreover, the higher the final evaluation, the more things you can take away. This point really made Xia En a little tempted. But it can also be inferred that ??The origin of Hui Yun is not simple. He is definitely not a wild mystic like Xia En. Instead, he has his own teacher or guide, so that he can know the rules of the promotion ritual in advance. ?Xia En opened the space ring to examine it, his eyes sweeping over the gold and silver jewelry and various rare props. Cant read too much. After looking at it, he will realize that he cannot take all the treasures away. It will be very distressing. The main target of Xia En''s search is things that may record secrets and mysterious techniques. ?The knowledge and skills learned in the promotion ritual can definitely be brought back to reality, right? Even though the strength displayed by the two captains was only level three, in real history, they were at least level six. How could the secret skills they left behind not be a good thing? Soon, Xia En actually found several ancient books that seemed to be extraordinary. There is a book with a dark cover and no name on the spine. ?Xia En stretched out his hand to touch the cover, and there was a warm and delicate touch on it, as if touching human skin. ?Moreover, as the book was taken out, the whole room suddenly became dark. It was as if...the surrounding light had been sucked away by this ancient book. Quality: Epic Type: Props Description: A book that records the secret techniques of the Shadow Clan. If you study it with concentration, you can understand the secret techniques in it. The Shadow Clan is a rare race from the ancient times. They live in the shadows all their lives, and they also master the secrets of assassination that are unparalleled in the world. Now extinct. Walking in the shadow, serving the light, all things are empty, all things are allowed. Good stuff! The corner of Xia En''s mouth raised slightly: "It is indeed a special copy of the promotion ritual." Obviously, this [Book of Shadows] is the treasure that "Shadow Blade" Bond kept at the bottom of the box. His previous ability to attack Xia En in the black mist relied on the secret technique in this book. ?This harvest verified Xia Ens previous conjecture. This promotion ritual is full of treasures! The next day, in the evening. Xia En walked out of the captain''s cabin and couldn''t help but stretch. ?His eyes were a little tired, but his breath had changed subtly. ?If you look closely at Xia En''s body, you can find that his body has become "darker", as if the light has been sucked away by something. ?Maybe its because he has learned [Shadow Swordsmanship] before, or maybe he is used to controlling the projection body. This [Book of Shadows] is very compatible with Shane. In just one afternoon, Xia En benefited a lot and unlocked a new skill. Shadow Walk As the name suggests, it can temporarily travel through the shadows, which is a bit like the mage''s [Arcane Leap]. ??Although Xia En is not an assassin, in battle, this practical little skill can often achieve surprising results. At this moment, Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye. I saw the setting sun hanging in the sky, and the fine waves on the sea glowed like broken gold. Not far away, a special maritime city is enlarging and getting closer. ?This city is really special. Below it is not land or an island, but dilapidated ships one after another! Among them, there are pirate ships, fishing boats, and naval vessels, all of different sizes and shapes. ?Those messy woods and metals are mixed together in a seemingly loose but solid manner, showing a faint blood color in the sunset. ?In Xia Ens eyes, this is a city made of countless ship skeletons! It can be said that every dilapidated ship has its own story. But now, they are just a foundation of the city. Isnt it spectacular? ?At some point, Huiyun also walked out of his room, walked to Xia En and sighed. This is Augustines [Pirate Principality]. Augustine captured these ships one by one, and the [Pirate Principality] became stronger and stronger in his battles. Behind this, I dont know how many killings and sacrifices are hidden. "but" ??Hui Yun looked in the direction of the sea city, a strange look flashed in his eyes. If you want to ascend to the throne, how can you not step on the bones of corpses? Or, arent the carcasses of these ships the throne of Augustine? ?Xia En was slightly startled. Inexplicably, he thought of King Xin whom he had seen in the vision. ?Under the opponent''s body, there seems to be a throne made of bones? Is this the price of being a king? Xia En fell into thinking. At the same time, the distance between the [Sky Serpent] and the [Pirate Principality] is also constantly shortening. In the process of getting closer, the emotion conveyed by the [Sky Serpent] obviously became a little fearful and uneasy. ?This "grave of ten thousand ships" has a strong sense of oppression for the soul of any ship. Soon, the [Sky Serpent] anchored at the port of the [Pirate Principality]. A one-eyed old man greeted me on the shore with a gentle smile. Master John, welcome home. (End of this chapter) Chapter 193 Half-dragon Nana, the last supper? Chapter 193 Half-dragon Nana, the last supper? Uncle Basil. ?Seeing this one-eyed old man, Xia En didn''t dare to slack off and said respectfully: "I''m back." ?In Johns memory, the one-eyed pirate named Basil seemed ordinary, but he was actually the first mate of the Black Sails and Augustines true confidant. ?On this island made up of thousands of ships, Basil is equivalent to Augustines steward, managing the trivial affairs here for him. The respect for status is evident. For John himself, Basil was also the initiator who led him on the secret path, and he had a relationship similar to that of master and disciple. So, when facing Basil, Xia En would be very energetic and try not to reveal any flaws. I have heard everything about the sea. ??Basil looked into Xia En''s eyes and smiled kindly: "You did a good job." "That man named Philip should have been killed long ago. If the captain hadn''t said that it was a test for you, I would have done it myself." "As for those two ships, you handled them very well. You are worthy of being the young master I recognize." ??This old man looks polite and well-dressed. ?Looking at his appearance alone, it is hard to imagine that he was once a powerful pirate who licked blood from his sword. The murderous aura occasionally revealed in his eyes was much stronger than that of Xia En. Xia En''s mind turned and asked Basil an unexpected question. Who else was attacked besides me? ??Basil narrowed his one eye slightly and replied: "Lao Wu, Lao Ba and Lao Ten." Among them, Lao Shi was the worst. Even his boat was lost, and only one person escaped with serious injuries. Hearing this, Xia En felt awe-struck. Counting himself, four apostles were attacked! Even if the mastermind behind the attack did not use all his strength, it was enough to show that this attack was unusual. ?Perhaps more than one force has started testing? ?So, Shane asked directly: "Uncle Basil, can I go see Mr. Augustine?" As one of the Twelve Apostles and as an adopted son, the request to meet Augustine was reasonable. But Basil shook his head slightly. Xia En''s heart suddenly sank to the bottom. ?? Could it be that Augustine''s injury was so severe that he couldn''t see anyone? ??Basil shook his head again: "Don''t worry, young master, the captain''s condition is not that good, but it''s not that bad either." Xia En became even more confused after hearing this. ?What does it mean not that good and not that bad? Why did a pirate become the Riddler? ??Basil didn''t explain much, just said: "There will be a dinner party in the evening. The captain will not show up, but the other apostles will be there." Please also ask Master John to attend on time. Xia En nodded and said, "I will." He has not forgotten that in addition to protecting Augustines safety, his trial mission also involves uncovering the traitors among the Twelve Apostles! ?This dinner is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Seeing him agree so readily, a flash of surprise flashed in Basil''s eyes. In the past, John was not bad in terms of strength, but his personality was a bit hard to describe, and he did not look like a pirate. Especially when facing other apostles, he has an attitude of fear and avoidance. Now, after suffering this change, his character seems to have finally changed a lot. Basil sighed with emotion: "Master John, you have grown up, this is good." The captain will be very happy if he finds out. Hearing this, Xia En''s mood was a bit complicated. He is not the real John Smith after all, he just temporarily occupies this body. ?This kind of sincere concern from the elder made him feel a little guilty and a little envious for no reason. Not long after, Basil left first, saying that he wanted to inform the other apostles. ?Shaan asked the crew members on the ship to disperse on their own, and he walked towards his residence on the island with the dust. Along the way, Sean silently observed this pirate kingdom. This Island of Ten Thousand Ships can be said to be surrounded by ports, with countless large and small ships moored in the ports. Some seemed to have won a battle and returned triumphantly, while others seemed to have been robbed, and all the pirates on the ship were injured. Others seemed to be just the most ordinary fishing boats, returning home with a full load of fish, and the crew members all had smiles on their faces. ??As for the places closer to the center of the island, there are of course supporting pubs, casinos, residential areas, and gorgeous call girls. It looks somewhat similar to the [Insanity Islands] that I have been to before. ?However, Xia En also clearly felt that there was an invisible order on this island. ?This kind of order restrained the pirates who had no taboos, and also gave the people on the island a sense of identity and belonging. They are not passers-by to this island, but citizens of the [Pirate Principality]! ?Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little incredible. ??How can a group of pirates who are "outlaw gangsters" identify with a place? Beside him, Hui Yun looked at the passers-by, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. This [Pirate Principality] is more like a country than the small kingdoms on land. That Augustine is worthy of being the only pirate king in history. "only?" ?Shaan was a little surprised. He didnt know much about past history and thought that the Pirate Principality existed before Augustine. ??Huiyun nodded: "That''s right, it''s the only one." Augustine was the founder of [the pirate principality], and after his death, the kingdom quickly fell apart. After that, there were a few pirates who founded a country in his name, but they didnt have Augustines ability, and they were wiped out by the Royal Navy within a few years. ?Xia En thought about it seriously and found that he was not surprised. ?This [Pirate Principality] itself exists because of Augustine. Once Augustine died, the invisible order disappeared and the principality fell apart. Suddenly, Hui Yun said with a playful smile: "Captain John, can you take me to the dinner party tonight?" I promise not to cause any trouble to you. Xia En said directly: "No." The reason for his refusal is simple. He has not yet trusted the secret traveler named Hui Yun. ??Although Gray Cloud claims that his trial mission is to protect Augustine, this may also be a lie. As for the oath Huiyun made, Xia En believed it. Because when he swore, the [Secret Sea] did emit a strange wave, proving the validity of the oath. ?Huiyun sighed and did not continue to press. At the same time, he was becoming more and more curious about Xia En''s true identity. ? Judging from the previous battles, Xia En is obviously very accustomed to fighting at sea, and he is most likely a captain. But his attitude towards pirates is not like that of a pirate captain. ?Especially this kind of careful thinking is almost like the style in the federal navy. But if he was a member of the Federation Navy, how could he not have heard of his name, Gray Cloud? ??Huiyun muttered in his heart: "It''s really strange..." It didnt take long. Shane came to his residence on the island. ??This is a small manor, and its style is somewhat like the aristocratic buildings on the mainland. Even a few maids came up to help Xia En. ?Considering that John is also one of the twelve apostles, it is not surprising that he is treated like this. After taking a bath, Xia Encai changed his clothes with the help of his maid, and then saw his appearance in the mirror. ?In terms of appearance alone, John Smith is not much worse than Shane, and he is quite handsome. ?But he is still younger, like a big boy who has not grown up, or in other words, he is still just a teenager. The black hair, black pupils, and delicate face have a gentle intention...reminiscent of poets and painters. ?Coupled with this exquisite and beautiful clothes, he looks less like a pirate and more like a noble young master. ?Xia En smiled bitterly. ?No wonder John had little authority on the ship before. How can pirates who are so beautiful, soft-hearted, and fierce-tempered be convinced? After thinking for a while, Xia En asked the maid beside him: "Do you have any simpler clothes?" The maid said with a smile: "I think the young master looks good like this." Xia En just smiled faintly and asked again: "Do you have any simpler clothes?" ?The maid suddenly did not dare to laugh, and immediately asked someone to bring two pieces of undecorated clothing, and asked carefully. Can these two be used? "Can." After changing clothes, Xia En left the manor. The two maids were whispering in the room and chewing secretly. I think the young master has changed a bit. What has changed? Getting...a little scary. The young master is a pirate after all. I think the young master is more masculine... After leaving the manor, Xia En walked directly towards a palace in the center of the island. Thats right, its a palace. ?However, its style is different from the palace in Coral City. The style is more rough and barbaric, like those ancient temples. Similarly, this palace was also built from the remains of ships. Xia En had just walked to the palace door when he saw a tall woman. Her forehead has a circle of fine scales and a petite horn. ?There is a long tail growing from her back, and the scales on the tail are deep red, reflecting a strange luster in the setting sun. Combined with her deep vertical pupils, the identity of this woman is naturally obvious. Half-dragon. She was waving goodbye to the pirates around her. "Hai, you don''t have to worry about me. Why don''t you just have dinner? What can I do?" Mother, all the flesh on my body is not in vain! Dont worry, they wont dare to bully me! ?From this vulgar and bold tone, it sounds like a pirate. ??The female half-dragon had just seen off the other pirates, and when she turned around, she saw Xia En walking towards her. She frowned at first, feeling like she had seen this frail pretty boy in front of her somewhere before. After thinking about it, isnt this John, who is an apostle like her? Thinking of how her elders had earnestly persuaded her before her promotion to play her role well, the female half-dragon reluctantly walked to Xia En and said hello. John, youre here Before he finished speaking, the expression of the female half-dragon changed. Huh? You Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Did this seemingly reckless guy figure out his identity at just one glance? At this time, the half-dragon walked up to Xia En, got closer and smelled it up and down, his eyes shining brightly. John, you smell so good! "ah?" Xia En was startled. He never expected that this half-dragon would say such a thing. But after thinking about it carefully, Xia En suddenly came to his senses. On the island where the ancient dragon fell, he not only unlocked the talent of [Dragon Body], he also bathed in the dragon''s blood himself, and his body was already stained with the smell of the ancient dragon. Not to mention, Xia En also received [The Majesty of the Bronze Dragon] from Xian Ge. ?And John''s body inherited his abilities and naturally had the aura of the ancient dragon, which was sensed by the half-dragon man. In Xia En''s mind, the other party''s information quickly emerged. ?This half-dragon is named Nana, and she is also one of the Twelve Apostles. ?Possessing a unique physical body, [Warrior] The secret path, ranking eighth among the apostles. is the "Lao Ba" in Basil''s mouth. As for John, he is naturally the twelve at the end. ?However, Xia En still cannot tell whether Nana is a trialist participating in the promotion ritual. Because before this, Nana had an extremely generous character. At this time, Nana hugged Shane''s shoulders affectionately, and while smelling his scent, she said, "Brother John, I heard that you were also attacked?" But judging from your appearance, you must have eliminated all the enemies, right? "Well done! As apostles, we cannot embarrass Lord Augustine." ??Nana''s strength was astonishing, and Xia En couldn''t get away without using a little more strength. But if she really used her full strength, she might hurt Nana, so she had no choice but to accept the arm-in-arm gesture. It was those two heavy things that made him feel a little uncomfortable. Xia En twitched the corners of his lips and asked, "Sister Nana, are you not injured?" Nana waved her hand carelessly: "If it were Nana in the past, she might have been injured, but I''m not that weak!" Hear this. Xia En''s movements suddenly paused. Such words are not what the genuine Nana would say. Nana also realized that she had made a mistake. Her muscles tensed up and she stood upright for a moment. ?Xia En had a hard time holding back her laughter. ?This half-dragon lady is really easy to guess. He has already exposed his secret before he has even tried it. ?However, Xia En still pretended that nothing happened and asked: "Have you seen the other apostles? Are they injured?" Nana replied: "Yes, the fifth child is fine, but the tenth child is quite miserable and has a broken arm." Oh, those **** are so brave, they even dare to rob our ship! But dont be afraid, Im protecting you! With that said, Nana patted Xia En on the shoulder so hard that his arms went numb. Nana was also surprised when she got started and said in surprise. Huh? You look thin, but youre still quite strong! Xia En couldn''t help but smile. This half-dragon''s behavior reminded him of Reina, the female captain of the [Giant] long ago. After Xia En casually chatted with Nana for a few more words, he walked with her to the side hall of the palace, preparing to attend the last dinner. Pushing open a door, several apostles were waiting for their arrival at the dining table. (End of this chapter) Chapter 197 Trial evaluation improved, old Augustine Chapter 197 Trial Evaluation Improvement, Old Augustine ?Xia En calmed down and looked around. The dark and dark treasure house was still empty. Not only was Augustine missing, but even the assassin who broke into the place before them could not be seen. Nana was a little strange at his reaction and asked curiously: "What''s wrong?" Xia En looked at her: "Did you hear any strange noises?" Strange noise? Nana frowned, shook her head and said, "No." Xia En was even more confused. Could it be that only he could hear the "You''re here" just now? But the question is, why "You are here?" ??Is Augustine waiting for himself? ??But is the person he is waiting for, John as the apostle, or Shane as the tester? If its the former, its understandable. But if its the latter ??Xia En exhaled, temporarily putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to search the treasure house with his eyes. ?No matter what, he did not forget that his primary goal was to catch the assassin who broke into the treasure house. As for the treasures in the treasure house, it would be a lie to say that they are not tempted. But since everyone has heard Augustines voice, and they still dare to get their hands on these secret treasures, they are really desperate. Relying on the perception of [blood power], Xia En quickly locked the assassin''s escape direction and quickly chased after him. During the pursuit, both the assassin and Xia En had a tacit understanding not to destroy the obstacles along the way, especially the wooden shelves holding the treasures. ?There is obviously some kind of good prohibition on these shelves, and rash destruction will only cause backlash. ?However, the further he chased deeper into the treasure house, the more surprised Xia En was. The treasures placed on the shelves on both sides are dazzling. There are various rare minerals and crystals, as well as the bones of suspected giant sea beasts. Some are like simple souvenirs, while others contain strange secret powers. Big swords, long knives, finger tigers, armors...there are also a lot of strange and weird equipment. ??There are even some potion materials placed in special containers, such as fluorescent fruits, royal blue seaweed, etc. The secret power on it made Xia En secretly envious. Even Xia En has seen some of the world, but after walking around in this treasure house, he realized that he was just a pauper before. Think about it carefully. ??Xia En only has a third-level rank in the real world, so coming to this legendary [Pirate Principality] will certainly be an eye-opener. It''s a pity that Xia En can''t take away most of the treasures here. Just think of it as watching a CG scene! ?Xia En gritted his teeth and comforted himself in his heart, while speeding up his pace to catch up with the assassin in front of him. ??Although the treasure house of this principality is very large, it has boundaries after all. After turning a corner, the breath in my perception suddenly disappeared. ?Xia En frowned slightly. next moment. ??A serrated steel knife tore through the air and struck Xia En head on! Dang! Xia En raised the **** sword and placed it on the path of the steel sword like a prophet. The two weapons collided, making a sound of gold and iron clashing. The terrifying force transmitted from the steel knife instantly caused the attacker''s complexion to change suddenly. ?Only those who have played against each other in person will understand what a terrifying number Shane''s overall quality of 3.4 really is. After a brief struggle, the assassin even felt like he was going to be chopped away by this sword. ?Before his body lost balance, the assassin gritted his teeth and poured all his secret power into the serrated steel knife. ??Nanas face at the back changed and she couldnt help but exclaimed: Be careful! followed by. With a "click", the serrated steel knife shattered into countless tiny blades, sweeping toward Xia En like a gust of wind. ?At the same time, the assassin retreated violently and stared nervously at the black shadow in the storm of blades. ?This move is his ultimate killer move! The real fatal thing is not the damage caused by the blade itself. Rather, after cutting countless wounds, he can cooperate with his [Bleeding Technique] to drain the enemy''s blood in just a few seconds. Facing ordinary enemies, the assassin would feel that he was stable, but for this [faceless shadow], he rarely had much confidence. In the rumors within the federation, this [faceless shadow] is an immortal! ?This is also the reason why the assassin ran away decisively as soon as they met. Soon, the storm formed by the blades quickly subsided. ?That dark and strange figure is still standing in the same place. The assassin could see that there were many wounds on his black robe. ?But before the assassin showed joy, he suddenly realized that not even a drop of blood came out of those wounds! The assassin was stunned and murmured: "What on earth...are you?" Xia En did not speak, but silently approached the man. The wounds on his body seemed numerous, but in fact they were not serious at all. The scattered blades were not as powerful as the previous Desert Storm, and many of the blade fragments did not even break through his defense. As for the so-called [bleeding technique], it is even more glaring at the projected body, which is of no use at all. Converted into the power of the ship''s soul, it only lost 8 points. ?Xia En approached and observed the assassin''s appearance. ??Even though the other person was wearing a mask, he still recognized the persons identity at a glance The fifth apostle, Ansel! In fact, Xia En had a guess in his mind when they encountered him in the sea. After all, among the apostles, he is actually the only one who is good at naval warfare and is a member of the sea tribe. As for the fact that he was a tester, Xia En had already expected it. ?The only thing that made Xia En a little confused was that Ansel looked at him with a familiar look, as if he had seen it somewhere before? At this time, seeing that his last resort had been cracked, Ansel stood up, took off his mask, spread his hands and spoke openly. No fight, no fight, I admit defeat. It will be bad luck for me if I bump into you, a monster. Hearing this, Xia En raised the **** sword and wanted to give Ansel a good blow. "etc." ?Ansel smiled bitterly and said seriously: "Can you not kill me?" Its not easy to participate in a promotion ritual. I really dont want to fail. "My necessary task is also to protect Augustine from death. At this point, our interests are the same. I can even help you improve your trial evaluation." ?Ansel raised his hand vowingly: "If you don''t believe it, I can swear to the [Secret Sea]." "Besides, after the promotion ritual, just think that I owe you a favor." ?Nana beside her frowned, but didnt say anything. This Ansel was basically subdued by John alone. How to deal with it was also his business. At this time, Xia En suddenly remembered where that familiar feeling came from and said. You are the captain of the White Dove, Julian the Bloody Hand? Although his words were questions, they were in an affirmative tone. ?In the [Thunder Sea], Xia En had a chance encounter with the [White Dove]. The captain looked at it from a distance and left a big impression on him. Now that I think about it, the other party is obviously a secret person who is about to break through to the fourth level. It is very reasonable for him to appear in this promotion ritual. Hearing this, Ansel, or Julian, was stunned. Has he ever met this [faceless shadow]? But why didnt he have any impression at all? Julian''s thoughts were ups and downs, but the expression and temperament on his face suddenly changed. It was no longer the cunning and timid look, but became calm and restrained. Every performance that "Ansel" performed just now was actually his "acting" and disguise. ?This cold and calm attitude is the true side of Julian. I didnt expect Tangtang [Shameless Shadow] to have heard of my name. ?Julian raised his head and looked at Xia En without fear. In that case, you might as well give me a happy word. Are you willing to do this deal? Xia En thought for a moment and said, "Neither your favor nor you are important to me." But not having you is very important to me. Before he finished speaking, Xia En''s **** sword drew a beautiful arc and hit Julian''s face. The reason why Xia En was unwilling to trade with Julian was certainly not as simple as what he said. First of all, Julian was the first to attack him and Nana, so it was perfectly normal for him to want to kill him. Secondly, the human feelings mentioned by Julian are simply unrealistic. ?Xia En can only use this favor unless his identity is exposed. The last point is also the most important. Judging from Julian''s behavior, the captain of the White Dove can be said to be a complete tyrant. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he is flexible and flexible, like a cold and poisonous snake. For such a person, Xia En could not trust him with his back, let alone make a deal with him. Otherwise, if you were stabbed at a critical moment, you would not know how you died. As for whether killing Julian would trigger his revenge, Xia En didn''t care at all. He can crush Julian at the third level. After breaking through the fourth level, why should he be afraid of a guy who failed to advance? ?Seeing the sword falling in front of him, Julian cursed: "You madman!" ?But at the same time, he was also making a final struggle, retreating violently, and finally came to a door at the end of this corridor. Julian shouted loudly: "Sir Augustine, help me!" Nana colluded with outsiders and wanted to kill me! Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. ?This is the deepest part of the treasure house, and behind that door, there is indeed an aura as deep as a mountain. ?? Could it be that Julian knew Augustine was here in advance and wanted to take a chance? ?However, now that he has taken action, Xia En will certainly not hesitate. ??The **** sword, blessed by terrifying power, pulled out a **** sword light and roared down towards Julian. ?Julian looked at the door, hoping that he had made the right bet this time. ?However, until the **** sword cut his body in half, there was no sound from the door. simultaneously! Scarlet blood splattered. ?This simple wooden door was also stained with mottled blood. But there was still no movement inside the door. ??Nana walked to Xia En and looked at the wooden door in front of her with a solemn expression. Sir Augustine, are you really in this door? If this is the case, then their previous actions were obviously known to Augustine. Even if he is suppressed by the promotion ritual, a strong man of Augustine''s level still possesses abilities that are unimaginable by ordinary people. At this moment, Xia Ens attention was attracted by a line of small words that appeared in front of him. You killed the traitor "Ansel"! The trial evaluation has been greatly improved! ?Shaan was shocked: "Ansel is actually a traitor among the apostles?" He really didnt expect such an unexpected surprise. ?This also shows that what Julian just said is half true and half false, and his necessary tasks are definitely different from Xia En''s. What an old fox! Xia En cursed secretly in his heart: "I almost let him cheat me!" However, since Ansel is dead, isnt this trial mission half successful? Wait, something seems wrong... ?Xia En thought about it carefully and quickly discovered the blind spot In the description of the promotion ritual, it is never stated that there was only one traitor among the twelve apostles! ?In the famous "The Last Supper", there was indeed only one traitor, Judas, but the situation in the "Pirate Principality" was different from that dinner after all. ?Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly took a breath of cold air. ??This werewolf killing seemed to be more difficult than he thought. John? Nanas words interrupted Xia Ens thoughts: What should we do now? She looked at the corpse on the ground and then at the wooden door. She was in a rare dilemma. ?Xia En made a decision quickly, took a step forward, and gently knocked on the closed wooden door. No matter what, it is a fact that he and Nana worked together to kill an apostle. Whether it is to prove one''s innocence or to confirm Augustine''s status, one should meet with the pirate king. ! Sean asked: "Mr. Augustine, are you in there?" After waiting for a while, a faint sigh came from the door. Come in. ?Xia En opened the door and looked up. ?In a medium-sized room, the flame in the fireplace was burning silently, and the gramophone on the cabinet was slowly turning, singing an old song from a long time ago. In a bench by the fireplace, an old man with gray hair sat. ?That old face was illuminated by the firelight, and in the cloudy eyes, the flames were beating quietly. ?Xia En was stunned. ?He never thought that Augustine would look like this now. ?Although in Johns memory, Augustine was no longer young, he was still a majestic middle-aged man. ??Whether it was the decapitated old man that Xia En saw in his hallucination, or the young man who looked at each other in the "Emerald Island", they all had a pride and magnanimity far beyond ordinary people. It will be unforgettable once you see it. ?But the Augustine in front of him looked gloomy, as if he had lost all ambition and aspirations. ?Shaan murmured: "It shouldn''t be like this..." The old man waved his hand gently, closed the door to the room, and said calmly: "Young man, we should have met many years ago." And, if Im not wrong... You are not from this era, are you? (End of this chapter) Chapter 195 Art is an explosion! Chapter 195 Art is an explosion! The treasure trove of the pirate principality? Xia En''s heart moved slightly. Of course he is well aware of the weight of this treasure trove. ?Augustine founded the "Pirate Principality" from scratch and from small to large. He won countless battles and naturally accumulated an extremely rich family fortune. But the question is, is the treasure in this treasure house really so easy to get? Seeing his hesitation, Huiyun said again. It is said that although Augustine suffered heavy casualties during this outing, he gained a lot, and also obtained a rare secret treasure. Its called...[Twilight Black Pearl]! This secret treasure is of great benefit to those on the secret path and can benefit them for life. Captain John, arent you excited? Sean did not answer his question, but asked: "Why didn''t Augustine carry this treasure with him, instead of putting it in the treasury?" ??Huiyun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This seems to be the rule set by Augustine." Every time he returns from an expedition, he will take out the most valuable loot and put it into the treasury. Xia En looked into Hui Yuns eyes seriously and asked with a smile. If we go to the treasure house of the Pirate Principality together, the [Twilight Black Pearl] will definitely be mine. Then what do you want to get? ?Huiyun''s heart tightened and he came up with the words he had thought of in advance. Actually, one of my optional tasks is to enter the treasure house of the [Pirate Principality]. As for the treasure inside, I dont expect anything extra. Is it really just like this? Xia En smiled: "I think there is a treasure in the treasure house that you are bound to get." Besides, you still want to take this opportunity to drag me into trouble, right? Hui Yun''s face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly said: "Captain John, I have sworn an oath, how could I have such thoughts?" Xia En waved his hand. ?Due to the oath, Hui Yun certainly did not dare to take the initiative to attack him, but inducing him to make a mistake himself was another matter. I will not go to the treasure house of [Pirate Principality]. I cant control what you want to do next, as long as you dont provoke me, you can do whatever you want. To be honest, Xia En is naturally a little interested in the principalitys treasure house. There are so many good things in the two captains alone, and there will only be more secret treasures in the principalitys treasury! Not to mention, there are optional tasks about [Twilight Black Pearl]. ?The key is Shanes current identity. ??He is one of the official twelve apostles, but he ended up guarding and stealing from the pirate principality''s treasure house? What do you want the other apostles to think? ?Its okay if you havent been discovered, but once you are discovered, it will be yellow mud falling off your crotchits not just shit, its shit! ?This is why Xia En made up his mind to reject this temptation. The news of the death of the Eleventh Apostle quickly spread throughout the island like a hurricane. The pirates on the island, whether they were Augustine''s confidants or the four kings'' men who came to attend the pirate conference, were both frightened and confused. Why did Augustine still not come forward at this time? ??Is his injury really so serious that he can''t take care of himself? ?This strange situation has also allowed some people''s ambitions to grow like weeds. In a small house next to the port of Wanchua Island. A voluptuous female pirate looked at the subordinates beside her angrily, whipped her whip, and cursed at the same time. Didnt you say that if you send two pirate ships, you will be able to capture that John? Its better now. Not only did we lose two ships, but we were also targeted by that one-eyed old dog! ??The pirate who was whipped didn''t dare to complain at all, he just said with a corner of his mouth. That little brat must have hidden his strength, otherwise he wouldnt be a match for Keith and Bond. ??The female pirate holding the whip frowned and said: "The question now is not whether he has hidden strength, but what should we do?" Now an apostle has died on the island. Not to mention Augustine, the eldest of the apostles, will not let us go. If that one-eyed old dog comes... The always fierce female pirate couldn''t help but shudder when she thought of that situation. ?The one-eyed old dog she spoke of was none other than Basil. ?In this era when the one-eyed old man was still the first mate on the ship, pirates would be scared out of their wits whenever they heard his name. Behind him were countless **** corpses. ??Although Basil is now the housekeeper of Ten Thousand Ships Island, the female pirate feels a little frightened just thinking about his previous achievements. Another pirate who was planning this couldn''t help but ask. What did Master Crow say? The "Lord Crow" he called was one of the five kings of the [Pirate Principality]. For such a big thing as murdering the apostles, it is certainly impossible for them to have no backers behind them. At the mention of this name, the female pirate''s face became even more ugly. Because, from the failure of the attack to the present, none of the messengers she sent have returned, which seems to have vaguely indicated Master Crow''s attitude. ?Others in the room saw her expression and immediately understood, one was worried. ?One of the pirates gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that John is Augustine''s most important apostle." "I''d better do nothing and tie up that little brat at night." "Basil came to the door, and we have room for negotiation." Hearing this, the pirates'' faces suddenly changed. Are you crazy!? This is on [Ten Thousand Ships Island]! If Augustine is angered, none of us can escape. ??The pirate who made the proposal also had his own opinion: "Isn''t Augustine seriously injured?" "There was such a big fuss, and he didn''t come out to comfort me." Whats more, havent we already offended Augustine to death? If we want to survive, we have to fight tooth and nail! Binding John is like having a talisman that allows us to escape far away. The leading female pirate stood up and paced back and forth a few times before speaking with a gloomy look. Lets fight! "Since Lord Crowe doesn''t care about our lives, we don''t have to talk about morals and just do things in her name. Maybe we can force the four kings and Augustine to completely break up." Fish in troubled waters, we have a chance to survive! ?The pirates thought about it seriously and found that this was indeed the case, and immediately began to prepare for action. Just at this moment. Suddenly a chuckle came from the corner of the room. I heard... you are looking for me? ?Everyone was stunned and turned to look. I saw a handsome man with black hair and black eyes walking out of the shadows in the corner. ?The black clothes almost blended into the shadows. The most bizarre thing is that before the man spoke, no one among the many pirates present noticed his arrival. ??The female pirate holding the whip screamed: "John!" ?The pirates who had little knowledge did not realize until this moment that this was the target they were planning to kidnap! ?But what about the sweetheart with a weak personality that we promised! Why did they feel an instinctive fear when standing in front of this man??????"Get him!" The female pirate was the first to come to her senses. As soon as she whipped her whip, she ordered her pirates to take action. ??The pirate closest to Xia En showed a grin on his face, roared angrily, and punched that pretty face. ??This guy actually dares to deliver it to his door, so of course he must be well "entertained"! Without changing his expression, Xia En took a step sideways to avoid the pirate''s punch, then put his hand on his neck, and with a little force, he broke his neck bones. ??The pirate didn''t even grunt before he collapsed softly. Looking at the pirates who continued to come around him, Xia En smiled at the corner of his mouth. Uncle Basil, do it. Yes, Master. ??A hunched figure broke into the room and looked at the many pirates present with a sinister look. As soon as they saw this old man, the pirates all changed their expressions and ran away without hesitation, not even one of them dared to take action. Since Xia En dared to directly break into the enemy''s lair, he was certainly well prepared. You must know that this [Ten Thousand Ships Island] is the home ground of these apostles! Come on Basil, its just a trivial matter. If you dont use the help you can use, that would be true stupidity! but ??Xia En looked at Basil and other men chasing the pirates, and inexplicably thought of the plot in some novels where dandies bully others. Dont mention it, this feeling of having a backstage and a backer... Very cool? It didnt take long, without any suspense, these pirates died and surrendered. ?Xia En did not look at them again, but looked in other directions of [Wanchuan Island]. There were vague sounds of fighting, screams, and even the use of secret techniques, coming from not far away. On this night, there were many similar battles taking place all over the island. This is the **** revenge from the apostles! Even if Augustine does not appear, they are not ordinary pirates who can be underestimated. But suddenly, there was a roar from somewhere on the island. Xia En''s expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at the direction where the roar came from. ?There, a ball of fire suddenly burst and rose. ?Mars fell on the island like a goddess scattering flowers, and quickly spread outward. In an instant, several flames ignited on the [Wanchuan Island], which was mainly made of wood and steel, with the tendency of turning into a fire. However, the changes have just begun. Boom! boom! boom! ?One after another roars sounded from all over the island, and fiery meteors fell like rain, as if they were about to set the entire island on fire. "not good." ??Basil came to Xia En and his expression also changed: "Someone wants to destroy [Wanchuan Island]!" ?His eyes wandered around and quickly locked on a direction in the firelight. Master, Ill go first, please be more careful. "good." After Xia En nodded, Basil''s figure turned into a giant wolf in the dark night and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. at the same time. On a high tower in the center of the island. A seemingly ordinary pirate looked at the sea of ????fire below, with a happy smile on his face. Of course he was aware of those powerful auras coming towards him quickly, and knew that he could no longer escape. Because of this, he became even more aggressive and even shouted at the top of his lungs. Art is an explosion! You stupid pirates, I want to tell you something. "There are many mind flayers like me. They have taken over the bodies of some of you, giving them greatly changed personalities and abilities that they didn''t have before." They have their own purposes. Some want to blow up the island like me, while others want to kill Augustine and the apostles! You have to remember, you must catch all the mind flayers! His voice was imbued with a secret power that spread far and wide. Under the night, the hiding gray clouds suddenly changed their expressions. Damn it! Why is it this bomb maniac? He recognized this crazy mystic. ?The opponent''s secret profession has been abnormal since the first level. The first was [Arsonist], and now, it has become [Demolition Expert]. ?This bomb maniac has no other hobbies but explosions. In his own words, it is Any time, any place! Super bomb, explode at any time! ??If it were anyone else, Huiyun might have suspected some conspiracy, but this guy probably just wanted to see a "big firework" when he detonated a bomb on [Wanchuan Island]. Furthermore, dying during the promotion ritual is not a real death. This gives this madman a good opportunity to set off fireworks. ?Those words about the "Mind Flayer" are obviously just the bomb maniac knowing that he can''t be promoted and wants to drag a few people down. In fact, lunatics with abnormal brains like this are not uncommon among mystics. ?There are even some lunatics who rise in rank very quickly because their actions are very suitable for their profession. ?However, if anyone encounters such a madman in the promotion ritual, he will be really unlucky for eight lifetimes. At this time, many trialists on [Wanchuan Island], including Xia En, were extremely depressed. ?This explosion undoubtedly messed up the chaotic situation on the island again. Hahahaha! The lead is burning! Looking at the strong man rushing towards him, the pirate on the tower slowly lit the fuse. With a "boom", his body was torn apart in the explosion. What shocked Basil and others was that until this moment, he still had a smile on his face! ? Below. ?Shaan sighed. He never imagined that there would be such reckless lunatics among the trialists. ?This "big firework" is very nice to watch, but he and the other trial participants will have to bear the responsibility for the mess that will follow. ??Xia En was about to go home when a muffled sound came from the fire not far away. ?Looking at the posture, it seemed like a giant beast was charging towards him. Xia En immediately looked serious and was ready to take action. But when the figure rushed in front of him, Xia En was slightly stunned. Look at the scales on the head, the dragon horns, and the tail behind her. Who is it if its not Nana? ?Looking at the several burnt holes on her body and her blackened hair, it was obvious that she had rushed out of the sea of ????fire. Little John, I knew it was you! My nose is so good. Xia En couldn''t help but asked curiously: "Why did you come to me?" Nana said frankly: "Brother''s paper asked me to follow you after killing a few people." Obviously you want me to protect you! ??This half-dragon patted his chest and said with high spirits: "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you!" ?At this moment, a steel knife suddenly stabbed out from the wooden board below! (End of this chapter) Chapter 196 Break into the treasure house and see you Augustine! Chapter 196 Breaking into the treasure house, goodbye Augustine! The knife thrust out from the ground was as fast as lightning, and the jagged blade easily cut through thick wooden boards like tofu. ??If it fell on a human body, it would be enough to cut an average person in half! ??The pirates around Xia En did not expect this change. Their expressions changed and they could only let out a cry of surprise. Captain John! The first person to react was the half-dragon Nana. ??Nana roared, first hugging Xia En and helping him avoid this vicious attack. Then he slapped it with one palm! The delicate white hands turned into dragon claws as they stretched out, directly shaking away the serrated sword. ??The assassin below the ground obviously realized that the assassination had failed. Without saying a word, he pulled out the long serrated knife and fled from below. Hmph, want to escape? Nana snorted coldly, a dark golden light suddenly flashed in her vertical pupils, and she stepped **** the ground with her right foot. The ground formed by the accumulation of shipwrecks immediately opened a large hole, revealing the dark water below. [Wanchuan Island] Although it is called an island, it is not a real island after all. There is the sea below a layer of driftwood. ?The sneak attacker also relied on this to launch an attack from beneath the ground. ??Nana''s kick was extremely powerful, but the destructive power did not expand outwards and was only compressed in an area under her feet. Obviously, this is some kind of special martial skill. ??Nanas secret professions are mostly related to [Warrior Monk] and [Martial Arts Master]. ??Xia Ens distracting thoughts flashed away, and he was about to persuade Nana not to go into the sea to pursue her. I heard a "crash" sound. ??Nana''s body has been submerged in the sea water, drifting away like a fish. Captain John, what now? Carney, who was following Xia En, came back to his senses and asked in a panic. ?He never expected that there would be people on [Wanchuan Island] who would dare to attack the apostles blatantly. ?Coupled with the recent series of explosions and the unextinguished flames around him, no matter how slow Carney is, he can still understand Pirate Principality, things are about to change! ?However, as soon as Carney saw the young, beautiful but calm face of his captain, his mood calmed down for no reason. As if as long as he is around, these crises are nothing. ?Xia En thought for a moment and decisively ordered: "Go put out the fire first and get as close as possible to the direction of the Sky Serpent." Carney couldn''t help but ask: "What about you, Captain?" Xia En pointed to the big hole underneath: "I''m going to meet that bold assassin for a while." ?The attacker came because of himself, so he couldn''t leave Nana alone. ?Especially the opponent''s aura, which is definitely not as simple as it appears. Nana will definitely suffer a big loss if she goes deep into the sea alone! ?Of course, to be honest, Xia En did not completely trust Nana. What if this half-dragon''s innocence is just an acting skill? ?Then, this attack may have been a premeditated trap! Hence, Xia En naturally had to choose a safer way to hunt down the assassins under the island. ?Xia En found a relatively safe place and had an idea. Submarine, start! The next moment. In the seawater under the Sky Serpent, a figure shrouded in shadow appeared. ?Shaan looked around, quickly confirmed the direction of Nana, and swam there like a ghost. at the same time. ??The half-dragon Nana continued to chase the sneak attacker in front of her. Ordinary half-dragons do not have the ability to move freely underwater. ??But Nana has a special bloodline. She inherited the blood of a giant ocean dragon, so she can adapt to underwater battles like a swimming fish. ?However, what surprised Nana was that the attacker carrying the long serrated knife moved very smoothly and naturally in the sea water. This feeling, could it be that of the Sea Clan? ??Nana frowned, but her speed did not slow down at all. Instead, she accelerated forward again. But suddenly, the figure in front of him disappeared from sight. "Um?" An alarm suddenly rose in Nana''s heart, and with her strong control over her body, she forcibly moved a step to the side. A ball of sword light that was several times faster and brighter than before suddenly fell on the location where she was previously. According to common sense. Under the resistance of sea water, the speed and power of the sword will be limited to the limit. But at this time, this weird-looking broadsword seemed to violate this law of physics, showing even more astonishing lethality underwater. Even though Nana dodged quickly enough, a large piece of flesh and blood on her right arm was still cut off. Crimson blood quickly spread in the sea water. Obviously, the assassin''s previous escape was just to show weakness to the enemy, hoping to relax Nana''s vigilance and lure her underwater to complete the killing. I originally wanted to kill John, but unexpectedly I caught this half-dragon. The assassin looked at Nana who was bleeding profusely and said to himself. However, there is no difference, they are all apostles anyway. Killing one will raise my rating to a higher level. Its a pity...that John was not fooled. ??This assassin is naturally not an ordinary pirate, but one of the testers who participated in the promotion ritual. ??The previous serial explosions of the bomb maniac brought great hidden dangers to the trialists on [Ten Thousand Ships Island], but it also gave them an opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Those who are as ambitious as this assassin know that they should take advantage of this opportunity to improve their trial evaluation as much as possible. And killing the apostle is one of the most rewarding optional tasks! The best thing is. In the current chaotic situation, whether it is the men of the four kings, sailors of the Royal Navy, certain apostles, or even Augustine himself, there is a possibility of taking action against the apostles. ?As long as the hands and feet are clean, no one will think that they did it themselves. Perhaps we can use this Nana as bait to lure John into trouble? ?Thinking of this, a flash of greed flashed in the assassin''s eyes. Improving the evaluation of promotion rituals is no small matter. It is said that the higher the evaluation of the trialist, the more gifts from the [Secret Sea] he will receive. Even determines how far you can go on the secret road in the future. Like the Bomb Maniac, it is rare to find people who are willing to give up their promotion just to see a "big firework" and come back next time. At this time, Nana frowned and looked at the injured part of her arm. Normally, given her physique, such a small wound should heal quickly. But this wound is still bleeding, and there is a cold power in the surrounding seawater that is continuously seeping into it. Nana, how does my blood loss technique taste? As a member of the sea clan, the assassin naturally has the ability to speak underwater, he continued. If you get hit by my knife, your blood will be swallowed up by the sea in just ten minutes. You just wait for death with despair! Speech itself is also a weapon. The assassin seemed to be just mocking Nana, but in fact he was trying to make her feel angry or fearful. Once the state of mind is shaken, flaws will naturally appear. For a [Martial Arts Master] like Nana, this flaw is particularly fatal. ?Furthermore, speaking itself is also a means of delaying time. ?However, facing the assassin''s taunt, Nana''s expression did not change and she just punched in the assassin''s direction. The assassin''s complexion suddenly changed slightly, and his body moved around quickly, even as if he was flickering in the sea water. ?But this punch was even more unreasonable than the knife he swung. No matter how the assassin tried to dodge, the punch traveled across the water and landed firmly on him. ??The assassin took this punch hard, his internal organs were shaking, and he couldn''t help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief. [A sure-hit punch]! How is it possible? You are obviously only at the third level... The sure-hit punchis an extremely advanced skill on the secret path of the Martial Arts Master. Just like its name, this punch will definitely hit the enemy. It has the meaning of the law of cause and effect boxing. It is a bit too shocking for a third-level mystic to use this technique. ?But soon, the assassin saw that Nana''s face became much pale after throwing this punch. This kind of skill is obviously not something she can use at will. ?After thinking about this, the assassin was determined. He swung his sword again and prepared a blunt knife to cut the flesh, biting off the hard bone bit by bit. Looking at this scene, Nana''s heart gradually sank to the bottom. ?Her character is just carefree, not really stupid. So he could see the situation clearly at a glance. ??This cunning enemy relies on his long-range attack methods to keep her from getting close, which eliminates the biggest advantage of the [Martial Arts Master] profession. ??Coupled with the weird technique that caused endless bleeding, it was still consuming her physical strength. If you continue to fight, you will only lose. Its still too reckless... ??Nana sighed inwardly. As for dying to help John hunt down the assassin, Nana actually didnt feel any regret. She has always been such a straightforward woman. If she said she was going to "cover John," she would definitely do it, but she just wasn''t good enough. If John catches up too As soon as Nana had this idea, she immediately shook her head. She still hoped that John would not go into the sea. John was not used to underwater combat. When he met this cunning assassin, he just gave him his head. At this moment, the assassin swung his sword at Nana several times. It was clear that he wanted to take advantage of her illness and take her life. Facing the intertwining sword lights, Nana gathered her strength and prepared to throw the final punch. But at this moment, a **** sword suddenly condensed from the sea water and slashed towards the numerous sword lights. In an instant. ?Countless swords were shattered by light, but the **** color broke into the two men''s field of vision with an extremely tough attitude. "Who are you?" The assassin looked at the figure holding the **** sword in surprise, his pupils narrowed. Standing in the sea water is a blurry figure that seems to be somewhere between reality and illusion. The chaotic and hazy outline of the human body is like a shadow that absorbs all the surrounding light, and countless overlapping phantoms... Listening carefully, it seems that you can hear countless murmurs, wailing and hissing. ?Just looking at the other person is like going through a rational appraisal, which makes people instinctively fear. [Shadow without appearance!] ??The assassin couldn''t help but let out a exclamation. ?Xia En was a little surprised. Since when did your nickname become so famous? Does any random trialist you meet during the promotion ritual know? ??What Shane didn''t know was that due to his performance in the last promotion ritual and Carles''s rise in the federation. The name Shadowless Shadow is widely spread within the federation. At this time, the assassin snorted coldly: "So what about [Shadow without Appearance]?" Dont think Im afraid of you! ??As he spoke, he poured all his secret power into the long serrated knife and struck Xia En with all his strength. ??A brilliant sword light was generated in the sea water and quickly approached Xia En''s side. Xia En slashed with his sword, and suddenly felt something was wrong with his hand. ?This sword light is extremely fragile, like a flower stand. ?Xia En looked up again and saw the figure of the assassin flying away quickly. ?This guy said harsh words, and then... Run away? ??The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly, but he felt that the assassin was not so annoying. ?However, he didn''t intend to let the other party go just like that. Xia En first looked back at Nana and asked, "Are you okay?" Nana stared at him blankly for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said with a smile. You are John, right? Hearing this, Xia Ens heart skipped a beat. ??It doesnt matter if the assassin recognized his identity as the [Shadowless Shadow]. How did Nana recognize John? Nana said frankly: "There is a good smell on your sword." Xia En suddenly realized. ??This blood sword is of course not the previous blood demon sword, but something he condensed at random. It was only stained with his own blood that Nana, who has a keen sense of smell, recognized it. Im fine, lets go chase him together! ??Nana patted her chest and said carelessly. After the assassin left, the [Bleeding Spell] on her body naturally failed. ?In just a few moments, the **** wound healed as good as ever. Upon seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate and took Nana to chase the figure in front of him. At his current speed, it is only a matter of time before he catches up with the opponent. The assassin in front was obviously aware of this, so he changed his direction and swam towards an area under the sea of ??[Wanchuan Island]. Below [Wanchuan Island], there is a structure that looks like an upside-down tower. The assassin paused for a moment at the bottom of the building, then opened a door and broke in. Shane and Nana followed closely behind. ?However, as soon as he walked into the door of this building, Xia En noticed something was wrong. The surrounding sea water is automatically excluded from the gate, and the interior space is dry and dry. There are rows of wooden frames on both sides, which looks very old. On the shelves, there are some obscure things, which seem to be no ordinary objects. ?Shaan was a little confused: "This is..." Nana was surprised: "This is the treasure house of the principality. John, haven''t you been here before?" ?Xia En was shocked. But in fact, in his memory, there is really no information about this treasure house. ?This means that John has actually never been to the treasure house of the Pirate Principality, let alone knew that the treasure house of the Principality is actually under the [Ten Thousand Ships Island]! But, since it is a treasure house, why is there no guard at all? You actually let the previous assassin and yourself break in? What shocked Xia En even more was that at the next moment, a vicissitudes of voice sounded in his ears. Youre here ?Although there is no basis for it, Xia En can also judge that - ?This voice comes from Augustine! (End of this chapter) Chapter 197 Trial evaluation improved, old Augustine Chapter 197 Trial Evaluation Improvement, Old Augustine ?Xia En calmed down and looked around. The dark and dark treasure house was still empty. Not only was Augustine missing, but even the assassin who broke into the place before them could not be seen. Nana was a little strange at his reaction and asked curiously: "What''s wrong?" Xia En looked at her: "Did you hear any strange noises?" Strange noise? ??Nana frowned, shook her head and said, "No." Xia En was even more confused. Could it be that only he could hear the "You''re here" just now? But the question is, why is "You are here?" ??Is Augustine waiting for himself? ??But is the person he is waiting for, John as the apostle, or Shane as the tester? If its the former, its understandable. But if its the latter ??Xia En exhaled, temporarily putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to search the treasure house with his eyes. ? No matter what, he did not forget that his primary goal was to catch the assassin who broke into the treasure house. As for the treasures in the treasure house, it would be a lie to say that they are not tempted. But since everyone has heard Augustines voice, and they still dare to get their hands on these secret treasures, they are really desperate. Relying on the perception of [blood power], Xia En quickly locked the assassin''s escape direction and quickly chased after him. During the pursuit, both the assassin and Xia En had a tacit understanding not to destroy the obstacles along the way, especially the wooden shelves holding the treasures. ?There is obviously some kind of good prohibition on these shelves, and rash destruction will only cause backlash. ?However, the further he chased deeper into the treasure house, the more surprised Xia En was. The treasures placed on the shelves on both sides are dazzling. There are various rare minerals and crystals, as well as the bones of suspected giant sea beasts. Some are like simple souvenirs, while others contain strange secret powers. Big swords, long knives, finger tigers, armors...there are also a lot of strange and weird equipment. ??There are even some potion materials placed in special containers, such as fluorescent fruits, royal blue seaweed, etc. The secret power on it made Xia En secretly envious. Even Xia En has seen some of the world, but after walking around in this treasure house, he realized that he was just a pauper before. Think about it carefully. ??Xia En only has a third-level rank in the real world, so coming to this legendary [Pirate Principality] will certainly be an eye-opener. It''s a pity that Xia En can''t take away most of the treasures here. Just think of it as watching a CG scene! ?Xia En gritted his teeth and comforted himself in his heart, while speeding up his pace to catch up with the assassin in front of him. ??Although the treasure house of this principality is very large, it has boundaries after all. After turning a corner, the breath in my perception suddenly disappeared. ?Xia En frowned slightly. The next moment. ??A serrated steel knife tore through the air and struck Xia En head on! Dang! Xia En raised the **** sword and placed it on the path of the steel sword like a prophet. The two weapons collided, making a sound of gold and iron clashing. The terrifying force transmitted from the steel knife instantly caused the attacker''s complexion to change suddenly. ?Only those who have played against each other in person will understand what a terrifying number Shane''s overall quality of 3.4 really is. After a brief struggle, the assassin even felt like he was going to be chopped away by the sword. ?Before his body lost balance, the assassin gritted his teeth and poured all his secret power into the serrated steel knife. ??Nanas face at the back changed and she couldnt help but exclaimed: Be careful! followed by. With a "click", the serrated steel knife shattered into countless tiny blades, sweeping toward Xia En like a gust of wind. ?At the same time, the assassin retreated violently and stared nervously at the black shadow in the storm of blades. ?This move is his ultimate killer move! The real fatal thing is not the damage caused by the blade itself. Rather, after cutting countless wounds, he can cooperate with his [Bleeding Technique] to drain the enemy''s blood in just a few seconds. Facing ordinary enemies, the assassin would feel that he was stable, but for this [faceless shadow], he rarely had much confidence. In the rumors within the federation, this [faceless shadow] is an immortal! ?This is also the reason why the assassin ran away decisively as soon as they met. Soon, the storm formed by the blades quickly subsided. ?That dark and strange figure is still standing in the same place. The assassin could see that there were many wounds on his black robe. ?But before the assassin''s face showed joy, he suddenly realized that not even a drop of blood came out of those wounds! The assassin was stunned and murmured: "What on earth...are you?" Xia En did not speak, but silently approached the man. The wounds on his body seemed numerous, but in fact they were not serious at all. The scattered blades were not as powerful as the previous Desert Storm, and many of the blade fragments did not even break through his defense. As for the so-called [bleeding technique], it is even more glaring at the projected body, which is of no use at all. Converted into the power of the ship''s soul, it only lost 8 points. ?Xia En approached and observed the assassin''s appearance. ??Even though the other person was wearing a mask, he still recognized the persons identity at a glance The fifth apostle, Ansel! In fact, Xia En had a guess in his mind when they encountered him in the sea. After all, among the apostles, he is actually the only one who is good at naval warfare and is a member of the sea tribe. As for the fact that he was a tester, Xia En had already expected it. ?The only thing that made Xia En a little confused was that Ansel looked at him with a familiar look, as if he had seen it somewhere before? At this time, seeing that his last resort had been cracked, Ansel stood up, took off his mask, spread his hands and spoke openly. No fight, no fight, I admit defeat. It will be unlucky for me to bump into you, a monster. Hearing this, Xia En raised the **** sword and wanted to give Ansel a good blow. "etc." ?Ansel smiled bitterly and said seriously: "Can you not kill me?" Its not easy to participate in a promotion ritual. I really dont want to fail. "My necessary task is also to protect Augustine from death. At this point, our interests are the same. I can even help you improve your trial evaluation." ?Ansel raised his hand vowingly: "If you don''t believe it, I can swear to the [Secret Sea]." "Besides, after the promotion ritual, just think that I owe you a favor." ?Nana on the side frowned, but didnt say anything. This Ansel was basically subdued by John alone. How to deal with it was also his business. At this time, Xia En suddenly remembered where that familiar feeling came from and said. You are the captain of the White Dove, Julian the Bloody Hand? Although his words were questions, they were in an affirmative tone. ?In the [Thunder Sea], Xia En had a chance encounter with the [White Dove]. The captain looked at it from a distance and left a big impression on him. Now that I think about it, the other party is obviously a mystic who is about to break through to the fourth level. It is very reasonable for him to appear in this promotion ritual. Hearing this, Ansel, or Julian, was stunned. Has he ever met this [faceless shadow]? But why didnt he have any impression at all? Julian''s thoughts were ups and downs, but the expression and temperament on his face suddenly changed. It was no longer the cunning and timid look, but became calm and restrained. Every performance that "Ansel" performed just now was actually his "acting" and disguise. ?This cold and calm attitude is the true side of Julian. I didnt expect Tangtang [Shameless Shadow] to have heard of my name. ?Julian raised his head and looked at Xia En without fear. In that case, you might as well give me a happy word. Are you willing to do this deal? Xia En thought for a moment and said, "Neither your favor nor you are important to me." But not having you is very important to me. Before he finished speaking, Xia En''s **** sword drew a beautiful arc and hit Julian''s face. The reason why Xia En was unwilling to trade with Julian was certainly not as simple as what he said. First of all, Julian was the first to attack him and Nana, so it was perfectly normal for him to want to kill him. Secondly, the human feelings mentioned by Julian are simply unrealistic. ?Xia En can only use this favor unless his identity is exposed. The last point is also the most important. Judging from Julian''s behavior, the captain of the White Dove can be said to be a complete tyrant. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he is flexible and flexible, like a cold and poisonous snake. For such a person, Xia En could not trust him with his back, let alone make a deal with him. Otherwise, if you were stabbed at a critical moment, you would not know how you died. As for whether killing Julian would trigger his revenge, Xia En didn''t care at all. He can crush Julian at the third level. After breaking through the fourth level, why should he be afraid of a guy who failed to advance? ?Seeing the sword falling in front of him, Julian cursed: "You madman!" ?But at the same time, he was also making a final struggle, retreating violently, and finally came to a door at the end of this corridor. Julian shouted loudly: "Sir Augustine, help me!" Nana colluded with outsiders and wanted to kill me! Xia En felt awe-struck in his heart. ?This is the deepest part of the treasure house, and behind that door, there is indeed an aura as deep as a mountain. ?? Could it be that Julian knew Augustine was here in advance and wanted to take a chance? ?However, now that he has taken action, Xia En will certainly not hesitate. ??The **** sword, blessed by terrifying power, pulled out a **** sword light and roared down towards Julian. ?Julian looked at the door, hoping that he had made the right bet this time. ?However, until the **** sword cut his body in half, there was no sound from the door. simultaneously! Scarlet blood splattered. ?This simple wooden door was also stained with mottled blood. But there was still no movement inside the door. ??Nana walked to Xia En and looked at the wooden door in front of her with a solemn expression. Sir Augustine, are you really in this door? If this is the case, then their previous actions were obviously known to Augustine. Even if he is suppressed by the promotion ritual, a strong man of Augustine''s level still possesses abilities that are unimaginable by ordinary people. At this moment, Xia Ens attention was attracted by a line of small words that appeared in front of him. You killed the traitor "Ansel"! The trial evaluation has been greatly improved! ?Shaan was shocked: "Ansel is actually a traitor among the apostles?" He really didnt expect such an unexpected surprise. ?This also shows that what Julian just said is half true and half false, and his necessary tasks are definitely different from Xia En''s. What an old fox! Xia En cursed secretly in his heart: "I almost let him cheat me!" However, since Ansel is dead, isnt this trial mission half successful? Wait, something seems wrong... ?Xia En thought about it carefully and quickly discovered the blind spot In the description of the promotion ritual, it is never stated that there was only one traitor among the twelve apostles! ?In the famous "The Last Supper", there was indeed only one traitor, Judas, but the situation in the "Pirate Principality" was different from that dinner after all. ?Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly took a breath of cold air. ??This werewolf killing seemed to be more difficult than he thought. John? Nanas words interrupted Xia Ens thoughts: What should we do now? She looked at the corpse on the ground and then at the wooden door. She was in a rare dilemma. ?Xia En made a decision quickly, took a step forward, and gently knocked on the closed wooden door. No matter what, it is a fact that he and Nana worked together to kill an apostle. Whether it is to prove his innocence or to confirm Augustine''s status, he should meet with the pirate king. ! Sean asked: "Mr. Augustine, are you in there?" After waiting for a while, a faint sigh came from the door. Come in. ?Shaan opened the door and looked up. ?In a medium-sized room, the flame in the fireplace was burning silently, and the gramophone on the cabinet was slowly turning, singing an old song from a long time ago. In a bench by the fireplace, an old man with gray hair sat. ?That old face was illuminated by the firelight, and in the cloudy eyes, the flames were beating quietly. ?Xia En was stunned. ?He never thought that Augustine would look like this now. ?Although in Johns memory, Augustine was no longer young, he was still a majestic middle-aged man. ??Whether it was the decapitated old man that Xia En saw in his hallucination, or the young man who looked at each other in the "Emerald Island", they all had a pride and magnanimity far beyond ordinary people. It will be unforgettable once you see it. ?But the Augustine in front of him looked gloomy, as if he had lost all ambition and aspirations. ?Shaan murmured: "It shouldn''t be like this..." The old man waved his hand gently, closed the door to the room, and said calmly: "Young man, we should have met many years ago." And, if Im not wrong... You are not from this era, are you? (End of this chapter) Chapter 198 The truth behind the great flood (please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 198 The truth behind the great flood (Please subscribe! Please vote!) In a closed room. The flame in the fireplace was still swaying gently, and the gramophone was singing old songs, seemingly peaceful and calm. ??Xia En and Nana''s hearts were filled with huge waves. ?Anyone who participates in the promotion ritual will probably have this reaction when hearing Augustine''s words. ?However, what the old man said next shocked them even more. Let me guess again I am not the real Augustine now, am I? Or, am I not the complete me, but just a projection, or a slice taken from history? ?Shaan was so shocked that he couldn''t speak. ?His current feeling is like when playing a game, the NPC in the game not only recognizes the player''s identity at a glance, but also clearly knows that he is just fictitious data. Obviously, it is precisely because of knowing these things. Only Augustine would be indifferent to the two men killing "Ansel". "Judging from your reaction, I should be right." Augustine continued to make surprising remarks. The one who can copy and project my existence can only be the will of [Secret Sea]. Dont worry, this room can isolate the [Secret Sea Will]. No matter what you say or do, it will not attract his attention. So, if you have anything to ask, lets ask it now. Will of the Secret Sea? After being shocked to the point of numbness, Xia En reluctantly calmed down and thought about the meaning of Augustine''s words. This is also the first time he has heard of the term "Secret Sea Will". ?That mysterious and profound boundless secret sea actually has a will of its own? ?But then I thought about it, wasnt it just to gain the recognition of [Secret Sea] when the Mystic Pather completed the trial mission? Just, if the [Secret Sea Will] really exists, will it be divided into closeness and distance like people? As if seeing Xia Ens doubts, Augustine spoke. Generally speaking, [Secret Sea Will] is an absolutely rational existence, with no likes or dislikes. You can think of Him as a sophisticated and huge machine, acting according to its own rules. After hearing these words, Xia En suddenly realized. In some fantasy worldviews, [The Will of the Secret Sea] is equivalent to "the way of heaven." In game terms, He is the GM of this world. but General situation? Is there anything unusual? Thinking about his [Eye of the Secret Sea], Xia En did not ask this question. Nana next to her didn''t dare to look down on this decadent old man at this moment, so she couldn''t help but ask. How did you know your identity and discover that this world is abnormal? The reason is simple. The gray-haired old man smiled: "I am Augustine." ?Only when he said these words did the old man''s old age temporarily dissipate, revealing a bit of the spirit of a pirate king. ?This reason sounds unreasonable, but both Xia En and Xia En subconsciously agreed with this statement. ??It wouldnt be surprising if the king who founded the [Pirate Principality] discovered an anomaly between himself and the world? However, it is precisely because of this that Xia En is even more unable to understand Why did Augustine look like a hero in his twilight years at this time? ?Shaan thought about this voyage that caused Augustine to return in defeat and suffered heavy losses, and suddenly realized a problem. In Johns original memory, there was no reason for Augustine to go to sea this time. Even his destination is not known. ?Furthermore, Augustine took the fleet out to sea without taking any of the apostles. This fact itself is extremely strange! Thinking of this, Shane asked: "Mr. Augustine, why did you go to sea this time?" Augustine was not surprised when he heard this question. He first looked at Nana and said, "Little girl, please go outside and wait for a while." What Im about to say next will not do you any good if you know it, but it will cause great harm. ??Nana didnt ask the reason behind it, and said readily: "Okay." ?After Nana left the room, Augustine did not directly answer Shane''s question, but asked a question first. Do you still remember the disaster in [Emerald Island]? Xia En nodded and said, "Of course I remember." ?The memory of going back to the past was so vivid that it was difficult for him to forget it. Not to mention, he didnt want to forget the elf girl he had promised to meet in the future. Augustine asked again: "Do you know the mastermind behind that disaster?" ??An idea flashed in Xia En''s mind, and a name blurted out. ) Augustine nodded: "It seems that you know more than I thought." Xia En frowned: "What exactly is [Huisi Ming]?" You can think of him as a **** older and more powerful than the average god. Augustine patiently explained: His purpose is to make the world more filthy and chaotic. Xia Ens brows furrowed deeper: Why? ?This kind of purpose sounds creepy, and a chill fills your heart. There is no why. Augustine said with a sarcastic smile: "Si Ming, you are so high up, we are just ants under His feet." You can crush a bunch of ants with one foot, do you need any reason? If there is an excuse for His behavior, it is... ˼, is the filth itself! Just like the God of War will become stronger as the number of wars in the world increases, if the whole world is ruined into filth and chaos, [Hui Si Ming] will become more and more at home in this world. ?Xia En was shocked. This is the god! This is Si Ming! ?Just one thought can kill countless people without burial. What about the Storm Goddess? The God of Steam and Steel? There are other gods Xia En asked with some hope: "Are they just watching [Huisi Ming] dye the world into their own colors?" Of course not possible. Augustine said: In fact, if it werent for the hard support of the gods of this world, the power of [Husi Ming] would have penetrated our world into a sieve. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized that Augustine seemed to have been emphasizing "this world" and "this world." Can it be said that... Thats right. Augustine saw Xia En''s guess and said directly: "[Hui Siming] is not a local **** in our world. It is said that he was born in the [Secret Sea]." And in the [Secret Sea], there are still several commanders, each of whom is in charge of different authorities. Its just that we are particularly unlucky and have been targeted by this [Huisi Ming]. ?Xia En fell silent and began to digest these shocking secrets with difficulty. He knew before that there were ancient gods and foreign gods. ??But now it seems that this [q˼] is both ancient and comes from outside the world. I just dont know, which one is more powerful compared to him, [Holy Lord of the Netherworld] or [Lord of Billions of Glory]? Soon, Shane suddenly remembered the question he had asked the first time and looked at Augustine in disbelief. You went to sea this time, actually... "Yes." ? Augustine nodded, with a deep bitterness in his eyes: "I challenged [Husi Ming]." ?Xia En was shocked. Challenging a god, what an incredible feat is this? With a mortal body, he can stand up to the gods! ?This is indeed what Sean had the impression that Augustine would do. only There was no pride on Augustine''s face in front of him, but his mood became increasingly depressed, and he spoke hoarsely. But, I lost... Even though I am already a ninth-level Mystic Pathfinder, I still lost... When he said these words, Augustine seemed to have suddenly aged several dozen years, his body curled up, and he was even trembling slightly. So many people, all died, and none of them came back. Only when you face [Husi Ming] directly will you understand the despair that goes deep into your bones. He could have killed me, but he gave me countless opportunities, and even used secret techniques to return me to my prime, allowing me to challenge Him again and again. But every time, I lose. As if recalling that nightmare-like experience, Augustine covered his face with his hands and murmured to himself. "I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost..." ?Tears rolled down from his fingers and he couldn''t stop them. ?Augustine was curled up in his chair, looking thin and rickety. At this moment, he seemed to be no longer the pirate king, but just a failed and helpless old man. Looking at this scene, Xia En''s nose felt a little sore. ??What happened to that high-spirited man before to become what he is now? He didnt dare to think about it. ?Furthermore, Xia En could not say any words of comfort. Flying words such as "You have done well enough" and "You are already great" are insults to this person who rises to challenge the gods! At this moment, Shane truly understood why Augustine looked like a hero in his twilight years. There is no greater sorrow than the death of one''s heart. To use a more fantasy term to describe it, Augustine''s "Taoist heart" has been shattered in the battle with [Hui Siming]. Therefore, even though Augustine may have known that various forces were trying to destroy the [Pirate Principality], or even that some of the apostles betrayed him, he remained indifferent and did not take any response measures. ?Perhaps, in real history, the [Pirate Principality] also fell apart because of this. Its just ?Shane suddenly remembered the vision when Augustine was beheaded. ?At that time, he seemed to have regained some confidence and turned back into the heroic pirate? What is the reason for this? When many thoughts were ups and downs in Xia En''s heart. Augustine continued to murmur: "[Gui Siming] also said that because of my challenge, He is preparing to set off an unprecedented flood that will flood the entire world." The reason why He didnt kill me is probably because he wanted me to witness the arrival of this world-destroying flood with my own eyes with regret and despair. Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. ?The instigator of that world-destroying flood was actually [Hui Siming]? After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only possibility! A great flood is enough to drag the entire world into a long period of chaos! Thinking of this, Shane said to Augustine: "Senior, in fact, I come from the era after the great flood." That great flood destroyed countless civilizations and killed countless lives. But after the flood, new civilization and order were also born on various islands on the sea. ?Xia En didnt know what he wanted to say originally, but when he spoke, it was as if a floodgate had been opened, and he spoke faster and faster. The era I live in is also called the Age of Discovery. People built ships, set sail, and salvaged ancient ruins from the seabed..." And now the largest force on the sea is called the Federation of the Seven Seas, which together with the governors of each island governs the people on the sea..." Under the sea, there are also sea civilizations transformed from human beings. I was lucky enough to get acquainted with a queen of the sea Of course, there are pirates on the sea now, but there is no country like the [Pirate Principality] established... ?After saying these seemingly fragmented words, Xia Ens eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, he took a deep breath and said very seriously. What I want to say is The fire is passed down from generation to generation, and the fire of civilization has not been extinguished! Even if [Huisi Ming] causes another great flood, a new civilization will be reborn on the ruins! Senior, its normal for you to be disappointed with yourself. Ive heard a saying that when manpower will eventually be exhausted, its too heavy to shoulder the burden alone! Xia En paused and said from the bottom of his heart: "I hope that seniors can be disappointed, but don''t despair." Its okay to put your hope in us in the future. What you cant do, our generation may not be able to do. I dare not say that I will definitely be able to defeat [Evil Siming] in the future, but if I have the chance, I will definitely challenge the superior Si Ming. Drive out all those gods with evil intentions, leaving no one behind! After hearing these words, Augustine murmured with complicated eyes. Put your hopes on the future? After a long time. Augustine sighed softly and smiled to himself: "It seems that I am really old..." I was actually taught a lesson by a young man like you. Speaking, Augustine slowly stood up. ?Although his figure is still a little stooped, most of his decadent temperament has disappeared, and his pair of cloudy eyes seem to hide a lion. Ill try to believe you. However, you also have to prove your ability to me. ?Augustine picked up a box on the table and threw it towards Sean. Here is the [Twilight Black Pearl], given to you. I will give you one day to absorb its secret power. When you come out of seclusion, it will be up to you to solve the crisis in the [Pirate Principality]. With that said, Augustine walked towards the door. ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, but he didn''t care about the so-called [Twilight Black Pearl], but asked. Senior, I still have a very important question. "explain." Have you ever met an elf named Leila after [Emerald Isle]? (End of this chapter) Chapter 199 Mythical quality [Twilight Black Pearl! Chapter 199 Mythical Quality - [Black Pearl at Dusk! Leila the elf? ?Augustine glanced at Xia En and asked with interest. What is your relationship with her? Xia En was stunned by this question and hesitated for a moment. Can we be considered friends? Just friends? ??The old man grinned, with a rare teasing look: "I don''t see it." That Miss Laila, she never forgets you and mentioned you to me several times. She also told me that as soon as there is any news about you, I will tell her immediately. However, in the world projected by this [Secret Sea], I should not be able to contact her. ?Shaan had a strange expression. ?This Augustine, does he still have such a side? ?However, it is precisely because of this that his image in Xia En''s heart has become more vivid. ?Hearing the news about Laila in person, Xia En was inevitably a little excited. Is she okay now? Augustine was silent for a moment and sighed: "It''s not very good." After the disaster at [Emerald Island], [Hui Siming]s apostles successively launched attacks on elves around the world. The elves suffered heavy casualties. The innocent elf girl in the past has now become the mainstay of the elves. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but sigh softly. ?Although he had expected this situation, he still felt heavy in his heart after hearing Augustine tell it in person. Honestly, the last time I met her was more than 20 years ago. Augustine continued: "Sometimes I really envy the immortals. Unlike me, I am already an old man." Over the years, she has found a way to possibly save the elves, and she has not appeared on the sea for a long time. Methods to save the elves Xia En looked sad. Judging from the results, Laila seems to have failed. Xia En knew this when he returned to reality from the past, but there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart. What if? ?His words "You can be disappointed, but don''t despair" were not only an admonition to Augustine, but also an admonition to himself. ?As a result, Xia En only felt depressed for a few seconds, and his expression quickly returned to normal. Seeing this scene, Augustine nodded secretly. This guy''s character is not bad at all. ??Although Augustine recognized what Shane had just said, he did not really acknowledge Shane himself. ???If this young man of unknown origin is a idiot who only talks big words and empty words, he wouldn''t mind taking back the [Twilight Black Pearl] he gave away. ?After that, the two chatted for a few more words about Laila. Augustine added: "Is your true body still on [Ten Thousand Ships Island]?" ?Xia En was stunned for a moment and responded: "Yes." ?This is the first time someone has seen that this projected body is not his true body. But then I thought about it, from the perspective of Augustine, a ninth-level mystic, what rare mysticism has he not seen? In fact, Augustine had never seen this secret technique before! ?At the first sight of meeting him, Augustine saw that Sean''s body was unusual. Just a deep intuition told him not to continue to peep into the reality of this body. ?This intuition has saved Augustines life countless times in the past. So, Augustine could only see that this seemed to be a special secret technique of doppelg?nger, and knew nothing about the rest. Augustine asked: "Do you need me to help you send the body here?" Xia En was not polite and nodded directly: "Then I''ll bother you, senior." ?Subsequently, Augustine stretched out his hand forward, and a gap opened in the space. ?He gave another gentle tug, and Xia En''s body was pulled into the small room. ?Xia En was amazed to see that this pirate king was not only powerful, but also mastered all kinds of weird secret techniques. ?Otherwise, you cant sit on the throne just because of your fist size. After doing this, Augustine said nothing more, opened the door directly, and walked out. He is going to deal with the chaos in the [Pirate Principality] tonight. ?Even if this world and yourself are both projections copied from the [Secret Sea], this is not the reason why outsiders can do whatever they want here. ?After Augustine left, Shane suddenly remembered - Senior, you havent taught me how to use [Twilight Black Pearl] yet! ?Just looking at the closed door, he could only smile twice. Obviously, before absorbing this [Twilight Black Pearl], I cant even think of leaving here. After thinking about this, Xia En simply sat on the chair Augustine was sitting on before and opened the metal box. Once the box is opened, a black pearl the size of a baby''s fist is revealed, with soft light flowing throughout it, like the afterglow at dusk. People will be immersed in it as soon as they see it, and they will never be able to look away. Is this [Twilight Black Pearl]? ?Xia En has heard the name of this secret treasure several times before. Even the optional tasks of the trial clearly pointed out this treasure. Even Augustine just explained that he did not get the [Twilight Black Pearl] after going to sea this time, but chose to go to sea after getting it. But what exactly it is used for, Augustine did not explain clearly, causing Sean to still be confused. Fortunately at this moment, a few lines of information emerged. Twilight Black Pearl Quality: Myth Type: Props Description: A natural secret treasure from the depths of the "secret sea". Effect 1: Dusk Ascension - Absorbing the secret power in it can temporarily increase the rank of the Mystic Pather by one level. Effect 2: Sea TideA secret technique that is most suitable for the user can be deduced based on the user''s current attributes, skills, and talents. Can be used repeatedly, but each Mystic can only use it once in his life. Legend has it that it is a tear in the "secret sea". ifier Xia Ens eyes suddenly widened. MythQuality! ? So far, Xia En has only seen one thing of [mythical] quality, and that is the talent called [Deep Sea Diving]. Even the "Captain''s Majesty" is just a "legend". It is enough to show how rare and powerful the quality of [mythology] is. After carefully looking at the description of this [Twilight Black Pearl], Xia En felt that it was indeed worthy of the quality of [Myth]. ?The first effect of this black pearl is simple and crude, it can directly raise the rank of the Mystic Pather by one level! ?Even if it is only temporary, this effect can be described as heaven-defying. Because, it does not limit the rank of the secret path user! ??Whether it is a first-level secret path user or an eighth-level secret path user, you can use this black pearl to temporarily increase your level by one level. As we all know, the higher the secret road goes, the greater the gap at each level. If an eighth-level Mystic Pathfinder gets this [Twilight Black Pearl], he can instantly crush the original strong men of the same level, and it can even determine the success or failure of a national war. Even lower-level mystics can experience the feeling of a higher level in advance after using [Twilight Black Pearl], which is conducive to advancement in level. Some people may not be able to cross over to a higher class throughout their lives. But [Dusk Black Pearl] can allow them to temporarily cross that threshold, which is destined to be of great benefit. ?The most precious thing about this secret treasure is that It is not a one-time consumable! After one Mystery Pather uses it up, it can be used by the next Mystery Pather. For a force, it can assist many strong men who had no hope of promotion to break through the situation. As for the second effect called [Sea Tide], it is also very powerful. An exclusive and unique secret technique. If the secret path is left to be explored by oneself, one does not know how long it will take. Xia En looked at this [Twilight Black Pearl] and suddenly felt that it would be a pity to use it now. To maximize benefits, it is undoubtedly best to wait until you encounter bottlenecks or encounter dangers in the future before using it. But think about it carefully. Now seems like the time to use it. Obviously, in this promotion ritual, relying on Xia En''s original strength, it is not a big problem to deal with two or three apostles. ??But if you add in the forces behind the scenes that want to destroy the [Pirate Principality], such as the Four Kings of the Sea, and the Royal Navy, his combat power is somewhat insufficient. ?Of course, relying on Augustines ability, there is no problem in solving this crisis. Judging from his intention, he obviously wanted to use this to test Xia En. Therefore, Xia En can only take advantage of the opportunity to temporarily break through to the fourth level before he can deal with all enemies calmly. ??Furthermore, he could not guarantee whether he would be able to leave with the [Twilight Black Pearl] after the promotion ritual ended. Instead of gambling on luck, it is better to seize the immediate benefits. Besides, with the existence of [Eye of the Secret Sea] and [Deep Sea Diving], there was no need for Xia En to use any external objects in the process of climbing the secret path level. Use it early and enjoy it early! ?Thinking about this clearly, Xia En sank his mind into this black pearl without hesitation. Boom For a moment, Xia En''s consciousness seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. ?This black pearl looks small, but in fact it contains a lot of things. ?As he continued to fall, a mysterious switch seemed to be turned on in Xia En''s body. ?The vitality of every part of his body was stimulated to boiling point, and the secret power in his body surged, cheered, and roared, echoing with the [Secret Sea] hidden deep under the sea surface. at the same time. ??Chasms of rolling darkness appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. "This is?" ??With the attention of his consciousness, the masses of darkness gradually changed, and the irregular mist slowly organized into meaningful graphics, constantly evolving and changing. Suddenly, two humanoid images flashed past, making Xia En feel like he had seen them somewhere. Xia En looked closely, and the human figure suddenly became much clearer. It looked like a young man holding a dagger and stabbing a pirate. Wait...this is it? Xia En suddenly thought of it. ??Isn''t this the first time I used my projected body and held a black stone dagger to kill the pirates of the "Blood Wolf"? ?Then the darkness creeps again, showing the image of Shane killing other pirates. Then, there is the action of Shane learning [Unnamed Swordsmanship] from Joey. Early fight with the alienated sea beast To [Shadow Swordsmanship], the battle with the coral monsters... Then to several **** battles in [Blood Moon Secret Realm], [Power of Blood], [Rusted Wasteland], [Siren Islands], [Power of Storm]... ??The battles that Xia En has experienced since time travel, and the abilities that he has mastered, all appear in the darkness like a fleeting glimpse of flowers. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of figures looming in the darkness, varying in light and shade, constantly practicing various skills. Furthermore, every demonstration of the humanoid will be slightly different, as if it is constantly being optimized and improved. Is this the process of deducing the secret technique of [Sea Tide Sheng]? ?Xia En suppressed the shock in his heart, began to understand the mystery in detail, and consciously fused the human figures together. When they are all integrated, the secret technique deduced will also be revealed! Just when Xia En was concentrating on deducing the secret technique. [Pirate Principality] has ushered in the morning sun. Later in the middle of the night yesterday, a sudden heavy rain extinguished the fire on [Wanchuan Island]. This is obviously the work of a high-level mystic. Despite this, [Wanchuan Island] under the morning sun was still in a mess. ?Many houses were reduced to ruins, with scorch marks everywhere, and many pirates were killed or injured in explosions and fires. But more serious than the material losses is the restless human heart. ?This is [Wanchuan Island], the royal capital of [Pirate Principality]! ??There are actually people who dare to act recklessly here and cause such a big trouble. What makes many pirates even more horrified is that last night, three more apostles disappeared without any reason. They are the fifth apostle Ansel, the seventh apostle and the twelfth apostle John. Counting the eleven apostles who died previously, four apostles actually encountered unexpected events. Coupled with the remarks of the "Mind Flayer" who set off the explosives madman last night, the pirates were even more panicked and rumors spread. Even the apostles said they would die, but what about ordinary pirates like them? Is the [Pirate Principality] about to fall apart like this? The only good news is. There are rumors that Augustine seems to have begun to take over the affairs of [Ten Thousand Ships Island]. This gave the pirates on the island a little more confidence. At this time, on the sea not far from [Wanchuan Island], several large ships with unique shapes were slowly approaching. The first one to bear the brunt was a ship with green sails. ?Its hull is the most delicate and delicate, but no pirate dares to underestimate it. Because, it is the vehicle of the Wind Queen, one of the five kings! As the only woman among the Five Kings of the Sea, the legend of the Wind Queen has long been widely circulated among pirates. It is said that this Queen of Winds started out as a tavern girl. With her beauty, strength and skills, she rose to the top and finally reached her current position with countless corpses under her feet. Now that the Queen of Wind has arrived, the identities of the owners of the large ships behind them are already clear. Crazy KingCrow. Epson. Dong WangFeng. Normally, they should have arrived at [Wanchuan Island] a few days ago, but now they arrived together as if they had made an appointment, which seemed to be a vague sign of something. Soon, the pirates along the coast screamed in surprise and even showed a posture of alertness. ?This is not because of the four kings cars, but because behind them, there is a large ship with fleur-de-lis patterns on the sails. Thats Royal Navy! (End of this chapter) Chapter 200 The captain has a lot to consider. Chapter 200 The captain has many things to consider. ?Royal Navy, on the deck of the HMS Iris. ??A man wearing a white navy cloak is looking at the [Wanchuan Island] not far away. ??This man has a thin build, a high nose bridge, deep-set eye sockets, short black hair, and a black eyepatch made of unknown leather on his right eye. It is worth noting that his left sleeve is empty, obviously missing an arm, but no sailor or pirate dared to laugh at him for this. Benjamin the Broken Armthat''s what he was called. He is not only the captain of the Iris, but also an admiral of the Royal Navy. In the past thirty years, Benjamin and Augustine had numerous battles at sea, and had several famous battles. His left arm was chopped off by Augustine. ??Although he won less and lost more, it is enough to show how amazing this general is. In this era, Augustine was equivalent to a shooting star that appeared in the sky, and his light eclipsed all geniuses in the world. ?Countless people on the secret journey can only look up at his back. ?But Benjamin was able to keep up with Augustine''s footsteps a little, and he was never separated by too much distance. ?This alone makes many pirates admire him. Even among pirates, the name "Benjamin Broke Arm" is more intimidating than the Four Kings of the Sea. Captain Benjamin, it seems that the [Pirate Principality] is indeed in chaos. ?Behind Benjamin, a crew member with a fat belly and a mustache said with a proud smile. Today is the day we destroy the [Pirate Principality]! ??This man is the second officer on the "Iris", but he is not Benjamin''s confidant, but a noble in the land kingdom, used to supervise and check Benjamin. Obviously, the kings on land were always wary of this admiral. ?Benjamin glanced at the second officer, but he was not as optimistic as he was, and instead said. Its not that simple, now is not the time to start a war. As long as Augustine is alive, the [Pirate Principality] will always be the [Pirate Principality]. The second officer frowned and questioned with some displeasure: "Isn''t Augustine seriously injured?" ?Benjamin said seriously: "Augustine, who was seriously injured, should not be underestimated either." I even suspect that the news that he was seriously injured was deliberately spread, just to fish out the evil beings in the [Pirate Principality] and catch them all. The fat noble frowned when he heard this: "Are you thinking too much?" In my opinion, you were clearly frightened by that pirate king, and thats why you had such unfounded delusions. Let it be so. ?Benjamins tone was still calm: When facing him, you can never be too cautious. The crew members only need to perform their duties, but the captain has many things to consider, or in other words, I must be responsible for all the crew members. ??The noble second officer snorted coldly and walked away directly. After he left, Benjamin turned his head and looked in a direction behind him: "Sorry, Mr. Rang, you saw a joke." ?In the corner, a man wearing a white research coat came out, smiled and said: "I think what you two said makes sense." Different ways of action are chosen simply because different amounts of information are obtained in the same situation. The man muttered to himself in a dazed manner. However, this promotion ritual, the character model projected by [Secret Sea] is already 93% similar to real humans. I remember the last time I visited, it was only 85% Sure enough, the will of [Secret Sea] is also constantly learning and evolving on its own Hearing these words, Benjamin couldn''t help but frown. Because in his ears, except for the first two sentences, the man in the white coat''s voice was full of high and low noises. There seemed to be some kind of murmur and whisper echoing, making it difficult for him to hear the content of the words. This should be something to be suspicious of and vigilant about. But there seemed to be a force blowing through Benjamin''s heart, soothing this faint feeling of strangeness. This unidentified gentleman is trustworthy. His actions are normal. His words are correct. ?Some subtle principles have been embedded in Benjamin''s consciousness like "settings". ?Looking at Benjamin''s expression that calmed down after struggling, the white coat continued. Benjamin, I will act as your follower and attend the pirate conference together. Whether you are ready to start a war at the pirate conference or continue to wait for the opportunity, that has nothing to do with me. Remember? Benjamin hesitated for a moment, then said: "Remember." "very good." ?The white coat took off his monocle, wiped it while looking at the [Pirate Principality] not far away, and murmured to himself. "Augustine, who has challenged the gods, I hope... you will not disappoint me." Although such a big thing happened last night, now that the Four Kings and the Royal Navy have arrived, the pirate conference that should have been postponed can only be held as scheduled. ?famous pirates from all over the world have all landed on this [Ten Thousand Ships Island]. Unlike the previous feelings of awe and admiration, when they landed on the island this time, the pirates had a bit of undisguised ambition in their eyes. ?Most pirates would not be as cautious as Benjamin, and their knowledge of Augustine was limited to rumors at sea. All they knew was that the pirate king was injured! Even several of his apostles died! Looking at the tragic situation of [Wanchuan Island] at this time, it proves the credibility of this news. ??Pirates are a profession that licks blood on the edge of a knife, and they are also crazy gamblers! The bargaining chip they put on the table is their own lives! ??At the thought of being able to pull Augustine off the throne, become famous all over the world, and divide the inheritance of the [Pirate Principality], which pirate would not be tempted by this? Fenghou was the first to set foot on the ground of [Wanchuan Island]. ??This woman is just like the rumors, even though she wears extremely conservative clothes, she still shows some voluptuous curves. A pair of eyes that are cold yet seem to draw out a person''s soul, and the beautiful face has an indescribable color. Thinking about her identity and status will arouse men''s desire to conquer. However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, no one of the pirates around him dared to look at Feng Hou with lustful eyes. Because, everyone who did that is already dead. ?On the way deep into the island, Fenghou looked at the houses destroyed by fire on both sides of the road, and her beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter. She saw the internal and external troubles of the [Pirate Principality] from these ruins. ??If she could defeat Augustine, how could the Queen of the Wind be willing to condescend to him and be called king along with others? ??The real dream of this female pirate is to become the empress of the sea that has never been seen in thousands of years! ?Behind her, East King Epson and West King Feng also had a flash of deep-hidden excitement in their eyes. If Augustine was in his prime, they would certainly not dare to make any changes. But now, with the four kings gathered together, and with the help of the Royal Navy, it seems that there is really a possibility of overthrowing Augustine? In fact, Augustine was always generous and kind to the four kings. Not only did he give them great authority, he would even personally guide their practice. only No one likes the feeling of having a big mountain on their head. Moreover, this mountain is too big and heavy! It is hard to imagine that as early as several decades ago, both the Eastern King and the Western King were Augustines predecessors. ? At that time, the two of them were already famous pirates, while Augustine was just an unknown person, standing like a lackey among the pirates. ?However, in just a few years, Augustine rose through the ranks, recruited men, built large ships, and became more and more famous. When he came back to his senses, the energetic young man had turned into a big shot that they couldn''t afford to offend. ?This contrasting change in status and identity, jealousy and unwillingness towards Augustines talent, were like ants gnawing at their hearts. ?No matter how hard the two men tried, they just couldn''t catch up with Augustine. ?Even the light of being a "genius" has been completely obscured. As time goes by, they will inevitably have an idea - What would it be like without Augustine? The only one among the four kings whose expression remains unchanged is the Mad King Crow. ?His upper body was naked, and his muscles were as strong as iron. Each muscle contained explosive power. It''s just that his hair is extremely thick and slender, with a light blood color. Looking from a distance from behind, it looks like a monster with red hair. This mad king is a demi-human, and his ancestral bloodline is the extremely rare "blood leopard species." ?It is precisely because of this unique bloodline that the Mad King''s intuition is extremely sharp. After setting foot on [Wanchuan Island], he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He felt that this pirate conference might not go as smoothly as the other three kings thought. It''s just that the current situation is that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired! Once the two sides fight, there will be no room for neutrals. ?As one of the four kings, he can only follow them to the end. ?Mad King Crow glanced at the palace that was getting closer and closer, and sighed secretly. Augustine, what do you want to do? at the same time. In the palace of [Pirate Principality]. The remaining eight apostles sat in their seats. The atmosphere was as solemn as mud, and people felt as if a mountain had pressed down on their hearts, feeling indescribably depressed. It is in sharp contrast to the ambitious and aggressive state of the pirates outside. No wonder they were in such a low mood. Yesterdays unprovoked explosion and fire were disturbing enough. Woke up early in the morning to find that three more apostles were missing. ?Furthermore, the traitor among the apostles has not been uncovered so far, and now he still has to face the evil Four Kings and Benjamin. Even Moss, the most composed first apostle among the apostles, could not help but look a little tired on his face. Moss turned to look at the one-eyed old man standing behind him like an old butler, and asked. Mr. Basil, sir, are there no other instructions? Basil said respectfully: "My lord has said that matters related to the pirate conference are left to Master Moss, and he will not come forward for the time being." Hearing these words that had been confirmed several times, Moss couldn''t help but rub his eyebrows and suddenly felt a headache. Even Augustine, who has been with him the longest and knows him best, has no idea what he wants to do. The status of the first apostle may be enough in normal times. But in this pirate conference where all four kings are present, he is obviously not qualified. ?Furthermore, the fact that Lord Augustine did not come forward further confirmed the news that he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered? When the time comes, the Four Kings and Benjamin launch a riot, how can I stop them? ?Although there were many questions in his heart and the pressure on his shoulders was huge, Moss was the first apostle who had already become famous after all. He tried to calm down as much as possible, turned to look at the other apostles below, and said. You all should have heard what Mr. Basil said. Now is the critical moment for the survival of [Pirate Principality]. When the Four Kings and Benjamin saw that the adults were not around, the possibility of a violent uprising was extremely high. We simply treat them as imaginary enemies and prepare in advance. Moss first looked at the blond woman next to him and said, "Tiffany, you have fought against the Wind Queen before. Are you sure you can deal with her?" Tiffany nodded and said, "Leave it to me." Nana, its up to you to deal with Mad King Crow. Lao Er, Lao Si, Lao Liu, Lao Ninth, your abilities are just enough to restrain the King of the East and the King of the West. You must end the battle as soon as possible. ? Moss selected different targets for the apostles based on their different characteristics. Its just that there are only eight apostles left. Even if Basil, who has the apostles combat power, is included, there are only nine. More importantly, Benjamin alone was worth several apostles. Hence, someone must fight against one of the four kings alone. Tiffany and Nana shoulder this important mission. At this time, Tucker, who was like a mountain of meat, was not mentioned by name for a long time, and couldn''t help but ask: "Brother, what about me?" Moss replied directly: "Your opponent is Benjamin." "ah?" Upon hearing this, Tucker, who had lost his arm, was stunned. I hit Benjamin? Is it true or not? ?? Moss sighed: "Of course you are not alone." "Me, Basil and you, the three of us will go up together and hold him back as long as possible." Hearing this, Tucker was a little confused: "Brother, is that Benjamin really that powerful?" "You have already gone out in person, but you can''t take him down?" ?Mos admitted frankly: "It''s just that powerful." "Although he is suppressed by the adults, in my opinion, Benjamin is the only person in the Royal Navy who has the hope of catching up with the adults." So, what we do is try to delay as much time as possible. When the winner is decided on other battlefields, we can defeat him with our numerical superiority. Speaking of this, Moss''s tone was a little heavy. Because, even if they achieve the final victory, they are bound to pay the price with the lives of several apostles. Not long after Moss finished speaking, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the hall. Coming! Moss took a deep breath, regained his composure, looked at the pirates entering the gate, and said loudly. Welcome to [Pirate Principality]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 201 A melee broke out! The traitor appears! Chapter 201 A melee broke out! The traitor appears! It didnt take long. In the meeting hall of [Pirate Principality]. The four kings, Benjamin, and several pirates who are qualified to participate in this conference have already taken their seats. Behind them, most of them had one or two trusted henchmen, and the man in a white coat and a single-sided glasses was also among them. ??It''s just that few people were curious or weird about his arrival. ?However, both the apostles of the [Pirate Principality] and the foreign pirates can feel the strangeness of this conference. ??Even before it officially started, a chilly atmosphere had already spread in the hall. The undercurrent is surging, and the storm is gradually rising. ?After everyone arrived, before Moss could speak, the beautiful Feng Hou pointed to the empty seat at the top and asked first. Moss, where is His Majesty Augustine? Since its a pirate conference, how can our king be absent? Moss remained calm and said calmly: "Your Excellency has given me full responsibility for this conference. Do you have any objections to this?" "Or are you going to ignore his majesty and prepare to rebel since the Lord is not here?" When he said the last half of the sentence, Moss was already filled with murderous intent, which made the pirates present tremble in their hearts. Even though Augustine was not present, his authority since the founding of the "Pirate Principality" has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every pirate, and has even become a lifelong shadow for many people. So, even almost all the pirates felt that Augustine had been seriously injured. They still dare not launch a rebellion directly, let alone be the one who fires the first shot. In response to Mosss heart-breaking questions, Feng Hou stopped being aggressive and said with a smile: How can I, a weak woman, dare to do such a bold thing? I just care about Your Majesty. ?This woman indeed has far more charm than ordinary people. Just a soft smile is enough to make a man''s heart warm, making it difficult for him to feel angry towards her. ??Moss naturally would not be tempted by beauty, so he snorted coldly and said. Now that everyone is here, I declare The 7th Pirate Conference is officially convened! Since Augustine established the principality, pirate conferences have been held six times. The specific content of the discussions is nothing more than the division of jurisdictional sea areas, the distribution and enshrinement of surrenders, and strategies for dealing with foreign enemies. Say it all, its actually just for one word Benefit! In the past, when it came to issues such as the size of their territory and the amount of taxes to be collected, the four kings themselves had a lot of quarrels and did not have the guts to make any demands to Augustine. Looking back on today, these four kings rarely showed a colluding attitude, and the first issue they raised made several apostles frown. First of all, I think it is necessary to discuss the ownership of the [Ashless Sea] and the distribution of the secret treasures produced by the [Ashless Sea]. ?Dong Wang chuckled and dropped a bombshell to everyone. The so-called [Sunless Sea] is a very special sea area in this era. ?The sky above this sea area is shrouded in a dark mysterious force all day long, blocking out the sunlight, so it is called the "Sunless Sea". But it is precisely because of this special environment that the number and quality of secret treasures produced on the islands and under the sea surface of the [Sunless Sea] far exceed those in other sea areas. Some rare magic potions can only be obtained in the [Sunless Sea]. It can be said that this sea area is equivalent to a natural treasure house. ?Whoever occupies the [Sunless Sea] can just lie down and make money! For a long time, the specialties of the [Sunless Sea] have been controlled by Augustine and the Twelve Apostles. ?This not only enriched the treasure house of the [Pirate Principality], but also cultivated a group of loyal secret travelers. But King Dong raised this issue at this time, and everyone knew his sinister intentions! On the sidelines, the King of the West also echoed: "Speaking of which, the [August Sea] is located exactly at the junction of the sea areas governed by me, the King of the East, and Queen Feng." Based on emotion and reason, we should all get a share of the property, right? Hearing this, Moss just frowned, but Tiffany next to him couldn''t help but said coldly. You two have gone too far! Lord Augustine is not dead yet! Are you thinking of dividing up the inheritance of the principality? Dont forget, it was Lord Augustine who led the fleet to defeat the natives of the Sunless Sea and killed those big sea monsters. If you are asked to participate in the battle of [Sunless Sea], it is still unknown whether you can stand here and speak! Facing Tiffany''s sarcasm, Dongwang''s face darkened and he was about to scold her. Crazy King Crow, who had been silent before, suddenly said: "There are no two suns in the sky, and in my heart, there is only one sun, His Majesty Augustine." As long as His Majesty Augustine speaks in person, I will obey his orders unconditionally. All the pirates were shocked when they heard this. They did not expect that Crowe, who was always known as the "Mad King", would actually say such a thing. In the corner of the crowd, Hui Yun sneaked in and said to himself: "It seems that although this Crow is called the Mad King, he is not a real brainless fanatic." If Augustine really shows up, he may be the first of the four kings to defect. But the question iscan Augustine still come forward? ??As a trialist participating in the promotion ritual, Huiyun will not miss this pirate conference, whether for the purpose of improving his evaluation or completing necessary tasks. In fact, among the pirates who entered the scene, there were not a few trialists like Hui Yun. Its just that they have different roles and tasks to complete, so they are all waiting for the most appropriate time to take action. "I just didn''t expect that the tester who played John would die so easily..." ??Huiyun sighed softly and thought with some regret: "If he is still alive, he will be more confident in completing the necessary tasks of the trial." ??Although Hui Yun was forced to take the [Secret Sea] oath, he had to admit that Xia En''s strength was far superior to his. Hui Yun was a little surprised by Xia En''s disappearance, but it wasn''t particularly surprising. After all, in this ritual, there are many beings that ordinary mystics cannot afford to offend, such as these four kings and the top-ranked apostles. ?Perhaps Xia En ran into one of them and was unfortunately killed in the end? Just when Hui Yuns thoughts were ups and downs. ?Mad King Crowe continued: "The king I surrender to is His Majesty Augustine, not you apostles." You want to order me, but you are not qualified! Tiffanys face turned livid: You!? ?Fenghou fanned the flames with a smile and said: "That is to say, if you feel that we can''t talk, then let His Majesty Augustine come forward." Otherwise, the ownership of the [Sunless Sea] should indeed be changed. Now, the apostles were in a dilemma. ?As a bystander, Hui Yun has a clear understanding of the situation on the field. The four kings made it clear that they were bullying Augustine into not being able to come forward, and used their status to suppress these apostles. If the apostles do not agree, this conference will not continue. But if they agree, it will prove even more that the [Pirate Principality] is weak and can be bullied and has lost the ability to protect itself. At that time, not to mention Mad King Crow, even the pirates who originally preferred the principality will be completely dazzled by ambition and trigger a melee. As for the [Sunless Sea] itself, its not important. Its just an excuse to stir up trouble. ?It is a pity that although Huiyun can see clearly, his strength is limited after all and he cannot change the overall situation. At this time, it was exactly what Hui Yun thought. The pirates below were in an uproar. Where is His Majesty Augustine? Why dont you come out to see us? Is Your Majesty seriously injured? I have some healing elixir here that I can give to Your Majesty. Voices, either well-intentioned or ill-intentioned, continue to sound. ?Seeing that the restlessness of the crowd was getting more and more intense, Moss took a deep breath and planned to go to war with the four kings directly. Instead of continuing to be humiliated, it is better to fight to the death in an upright manner! If you do this, you might still have a chance of survival. But at this moment. Benjamin, who had not felt much presence since he sat down until now, suddenly spoke. I remember, according to the rules of our [Pirate Principality] If there are different opinions on a certain resolution, one person from each side should be sent to decide whose opinion should be heard through a duel. As Benjamin spoke, the hall quickly became quiet. The four kings looked at him with doubts in their eyes. ??Looking at Benjamins past achievements, his prestige is even higher than that of the Four Kings! In fact, it was because of Benjamins existence that the four kings did not choose to attack the apostles directly. Although the Four Kings and Benjamin had a verbal agreement, the identities of both parties determined that it was impossible for them to cooperate in the true sense. One is a pirate and the other is the Royal Navy. ??????????????????????????????????? The four kings wanted to use Benjamin''s power to overthrow Augustine and usurp the throne, but they did not want to completely destroy the [Pirate Principality]. But Benjamins target is all pirates! Cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. So, the four kings have always been on high alert for Benjamin''s actions. ?But at this time, his words made the four kings quite puzzled, and they couldn''t figure out what medicine he was selling in his gourd. ??Of course they know this rule in the [Pirate Principality], and they have resolved conflicts based on this rule several times in the past. But now, isnt this all about breaking the skin? ??What''s the use of still abiding by this rule? If ordinary people said this, they would just be regarded as farts. But he is Benjamin! So for a while, no one dared to speak out to refute him. Seeing this, Moss felt a little relieved. Even if we dont know why Benjamin suddenly spoke for them, if we really send someone to challenge him, the apostles may not lose! ?However, at the moment Moss relaxed. A fat left hand quietly poked out from behind him. ?This palm has a layer of colorful color and a fishy and bitter smell. ?? Mosss expression suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: How dare you!? ?His reaction was not unpleasant, but the person behind the attack had carefully prepared the attack, so how could it fail without success? ??The colorful palm directly shattered the back of the chair and landed on the back of Moss at an extremely fast speed. simultaneously! The moment when the palm of the hand comes into contact with the back. ??Moss''s flesh and blood began to dissolve and rot, quickly turning into foul-smelling pus and blood. Not only that, the toxins contained in it are also rapidly spreading and infecting other parts of the body. ??If this poison is allowed to enter the heart, Moss will definitely die! At the critical moment, Moss made a prompt decision and punched the person behind him. Then he pulled out a long knife from his waist and cut off the corrupted flesh and blood. ??The knife cut so deep that you could even see the white spine on his back. Immediately, a layer of ice covered the wound to prevent the toxin from spreading, and also stopped the continuous flow of blood. Even so, anyone could see that Moss had been seriously injured in this sneak attack. Ta! Gram! ?? Moss raised his head, looked at the person he had repelled, and almost squeezed out the name through his teeth. In front of him was the tenth apostle, Tucker, who was as fat as a mountain of meat! It turns out that you are the traitor among us. Moss''s eyes were full of disappointment: "So, you killed Lao Shiyi too, right?" ?This strange, alchemical-like toxin directly proves the identity of Tucker''s murderer. ? Its just that in Mosss impression, Tucker had never used poison, and he was also one of the apostles who was attacked, so the apostles never doubted him. Facing Mosss question, Tucker grinned, revealing a pair of pale teeth. Thats right, its me. That stupid thing didnt realize it was me who poisoned him until he died. "However, you are not much better. If you are poisoned by me, you will die here in two hours at most, and your whole body will turn into pus." As he spoke, Tucker looked at Benjamin who was not far away and said respectfully: "Lord Benjamin, fortunately you have lived up to your command!" ?Everyone suddenly woke up. ?Tucker is not the apostle of the Four Kings who instigated rebellion, but a **** of Benjamin! ?Benjamin smiled faintly and looked at Moss, who was pale. Sir Moss, do you want to surrender? If we can save him now, it may still be too late. Faced with this almost desperate situation, Moss seemed to have untied some kind of restraint and murmured: "Two hours?" Then please, Sir Benjamin, see my last afterglow! Before he finished speaking, layers of ice and snow began to emerge with Moss as the center, and he was covered with a layer of armor made of ice, making his bloodless face even paler. The next moment. Moss was like a giant ice and snow beast, rushing towards Benjamin. All these changes happened so fast that before many pirates could react, Moss and Benjamin were already fighting. At the same time. Several apostles also found their opponents as if planned in advance. The only difference is that Basil''s opponent is Tucker, a traitor. Well done! Seeing this, the Queen of the Wind smiled. She had a spell with the secret power of the wind at her fingertips, and faced Tiffany **** for tat. ??The other three kings did not flinch and directly used their secret skills to deal with the apostles who rushed up. A melee broke out! (End of this chapter) Chapter 202 alchemical principle of equivalent exchange Chapter 202 Alchemical Principle of Equivalent Exchange In an instant. Several big pirates and their followers got into a melee with the apostles. ?The most eye-catching thing in this scene is not the fight between Benjamin and Moss, but an indigo hurricane! That was the spell cast by Feng Hou! The fact that she can be named "Queen of the Wind" is enough to illustrate this woman''s accomplishments in wind-attribute spells. It can even be said that she is one of the most proficient mystics in wind spells in this era! Even though Fenghous rank was suppressed by the promotion ritual, the strength she displayed at this time still exceeded the limits of ordinary third-level mystics. The indigo hurricane sometimes contracts and condenses, sometimes expands and expands. With it as the center, wind blades roared and cut outwards, causing many pirates to suddenly change their colors and not dare to approach at all. Once hit by any wind blade, you will end up dripping with blood. ??If you are on the edge of a hurricane, all your flesh and blood will be cut off like Ling Chi. The Queen of the Wind has used this technique to execute several pirates who offended her. How can a person who can be one of the five pirate kings be so soft-hearted? ?However, in the face of the sweeping hurricane, the blond third apostle Tiffany was not afraid and walked forward step by step. ? Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang! ??When Tiffany walked into the area covered by the hurricane, the sound of crashes like violent wind and rain continued to sound. ?Those wind blades seemed to have hit an invisible wall, unable to harm Tiffany''s delicate body. Tiffany At the highest point of the hurricane, the beautiful eyes behind the wind were lowered, with a hint of fear flashing in them. When it comes to the enemy she least wants to face, this third apostle is definitely at the top of the list. Not only because of Tiffanys weird secret ability, but also because, in the past fights, Feng Hou had a feeling ?This woman always seems to be hiding her true strength! ?But soon, Fenghou returned to her cheerful demeanor and spoke with a smile. Sister Tiffany, long time no see. Your mind control has become more and more subtle. Tiffany glanced at her lightly: "Old aunt, do I know you very well?" Hearing the name "old aunt", Fenghou''s face suddenly turned ugly. In terms of age, she is indeed a few years older than Tiffany, just because it is easier for the Secret Path to maintain a youthful appearance, and no one will think that Feng Hou is old. But then again, which woman doesnt care about her age? Especially between two equally beautiful women, the age problem is even more serious. Fenghou suppressed her smile, glanced around the hall, and said, "This place is too small for us to fight." How about going up there? Tiffanys expression did not change: Its just what I want. The next moment. ??The dome above the palace was suddenly torn open, and two figures quickly rose to the heights. Hissthese two women are so strong! In a corner of the palace, Hui Yun hid again and quietly watched the situation. ??He has a unique secret method of hiding his breath, which can greatly reduce his own presence. This is also the reason why he was able to hide until the end when he encountered Xia En. At this time, a big hole opened in the palace of the [Pirate Principality], allowing Hui Yun to see the scene of Tiffany and Fenghou fighting. ??The howling wind and the invisible power of thought constantly collided, rubbed, and clashed, shattering the clouds in the sky, which was thrilling to watch. However, women do look much better when fighting than men. ??Hui Yun turned his attention to another battlefield in the palace. The four apostles faced off against the East King and the West King among the four kings. They used different weapons to fight with the two kings. ?The King of the East and the King of the West, one holding a long sword and the other holding a big ax, sneered and faced him. Even Hui Yun can tell that the fighting skills and strength of the East King and the West King are far superior to the four apostles! So, even if the apostles had the numerical advantage, they were still at a disadvantage, and they were just stalling for time. It seems that these two kings havent used their full strength yet! ? Huiyun came to a conclusion after observing and guessed: "Are you really still afraid of Benjamin?" Bang! Suddenly a muffled sound attracted Hui Yun''s attention. He turned his head and looked. In the center of the palace, two figures, one large and one small, collided like meteorites hitting the earth. Hearing this muffled sound, both the pirates and the apostles felt a sour feeling in their teeth. The two people who collided were none other than Mad King Crow and the half-dragon Nana! ??Both of them are strong men who are good at close combat. One is a rare "blood leopard species", and the other is a half-dragon with dragon blood flowing. Their physical fitness is far more than twice that of ordinary people! After this solid collision, the two of them each took two steps back. only A flash of flush flashed across Nana''s face, but Crowe''s expression remained as usual. Not good! It seems that Mad Kings strength is still higher than Nanas. ??Huiyun frowned slightly: "The potential of half-dragons is actually stronger than that of blood leopards." But Nana is still too young... ??If Nana and Mad King were to fight at the same age, her winning rate would be much higher. But now ? Hui Yun couldn''t help but feel a little sweat for her. At this time, Mad King Crow chuckled and said, "Nana, your strength is not bad." Among the younger generation, you are considered one of the best. But its a bit unrealistic to defeat me. Hearing this, Nana just sneered and said: "Old man, you are talking so much nonsense, give me a punch!" As soon as she finished speaking, she roared angrily. Immediately, the bones all over her body creaked, muscles bulged, and her body, which was already taller than an ordinary person, became taller by several centimeters again. More and more scales appeared on her face and arms, and the dark golden light in her vertical pupils grew stronger. The majesty from the dragon naturally spreads away, making the nearby pirates unable to help but feel fear. Obviously, Nana has stimulated the dragon blood in her body, and her level of dragon transformation has been greatly improved. Seeing Nana''s posture, Mad King Crow was not surprised but overjoyed, and laughed. "Yes, this kind of momentum is worthy of Augustine''s name as an apostle!" In this case, I have to be more serious. As he spoke, Crowe''s aura was rising steadily, becoming more and more shuddering. ?His thick red hair moved without any wind, and the blood in his body surged like a great river, and the beating of his heartbeat like a drum could be heard clearly in the ears of the surrounding pirates. Just listening to this heartbeat made the pirates feel terrified. ??Huiyun''s expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself: "How strong is this guy''s body?" Just the beating sound of the heart can already affect the blood flow of others? Boom! At the next moment. Two strong and sturdy figures collided together again, and the air waves suddenly expanded outward. ??Every time Nana raised her hand, the golden and red aura swirled around and transformed into the illusion of a giant dragon, and she used her superb martial arts to exert all her strength. Crowe, on the other hand, had red hair flying all over his body, and dots of **** runes appeared on his fists, one by one, and then disappeared one by one. Rolling waves of secret power are coming towards your face. The weaker pirates were blown around, and some even lost their footing and fell backwards. Fortunately, Nana and Crowe did not want to affect the innocent pirates, so they consciously left the palace while fighting the capital. Monsters! These two guys are both monsters! ??Huiyun couldn''t help but wipe a cold sweat when he looked at the many cracks left on the ground and the collapsed wall after the collision between the two. If any one of them collided with him, his bones would probably fall apart. After watching these two humanoid ferocious beasts leave, Hui Yuns eyes fell on a battlefield not far away. ??The one-eyed old man Basil holds a dagger, like a dancer dancing on the tip of the knife, taking strange steps, attacking Tucker, the traitor among the apostles, again and again. Compared to Basil''s ghostly figure, what surprised Hui Yun even more was... ??The obese Tucker actually showed flexibility and agility that was not in line with his size, and could easily block Basil''s attacks every time. ??Moreover, he carried strange toxins on his body, which also made Basil extremely afraid. ?As long as it touches it, the consequences will be disastrous! Strange, according to the information I collected, Tucker shouldnt have this weird poison technique ?Hui Yun thought for a moment and suddenly realized. Wait a minute, Im afraid this Tucker is no longer the original apostle, but a tester who plays the role of an apostle! Is his profession a variant of [Alchemist]? Not only Huiyun was aware of this, but some of the trialists among the pirates were also aware of this. A few people''s eyes flickered and they looked at each other. ??While the surroundings were in chaos, these people quietly came not far from Tucker. Immediately, they each used their secret skills and launched sneak attacks from all angles! ?One of them was holding a long sword, and when he saw that he was about to pierce Tucker''s back, a look of joy appeared on his face. ?But suddenly, a layer of fat on Tucker''s body suddenly expanded and swelled, flowing under the skin like liquid, and the color gradually became colorful. Following With a "bang" sound, this layer of fat exploded. The colorful venom sprayed around and covered the surrounding attackers. Ahhhhhhhhh!! ?These testers suddenly let out shrill screams. Under the corrosion of toxins, their clothes and flesh and blood melted and disintegrated in an instant. ??The trialist who was closest was the worst. Venom was poured all over his head, and his white skull was directly exposed to the air. Soon, even those pale bones were turned into a puddle of pus. ??Nearby, some pirates suffered unforeseen disasters. They fell to the ground and howled in pain. Soon their faces were ashen and they lost their vitality. ?Among the several sneak attackers, only one of them dodged in time and was only stained by the venom on his arm. He cut off the arm directly, thus saving a small life. Even so, the man looked at Tucker with fear, fear and anger. You madman! You actually turned your body into a venom-producing device!? Now your whole body is full of poison! After a layer of fat on his body exploded, most of Tucker''s skin was damaged, exposing the fat underneath. But the strange thing is that not a drop of blood flows out of his body. Instead, there are only colorful colors covering every corner of his body, which looks extremely horrifying. Facing this mans question, Tucker grinned, showing his white teeth. Youre right. But the principle of alchemy is equal exchange! Only by paying a corresponding price can I get the power I want. Mere flesh and blood, what does it mean? "As the first person to see through the methods I used, I decided to grant you a merciful death!" Before Tucker finished speaking, one of his fingers shot towards the tester like a flying knife. ?This tester''s complexion suddenly changed and he was about to turn around and run away. ??But this finger was extremely fast, and it suddenly exploded in the air, and the colorful rain of venom dissipated again. Several people, including the secret traveler, were directly corroded and dissolved by the poisonous rain, and died tragically on the spot. The pirates on the side were filled with jealousy. This guy is really a complete pervert! Huiyun''s eyelids twitched: "If he were in the real world, he would definitely not dare to turn his body into a venom tank, but this is just a promotion ritual after all." Even if Tuckers body is messed up by alchemy, as long as he is still alive, he can complete this trial. Moreover, he is now equivalent to a self-exploding bomb. Even enemies who are stronger than him are not willing to die with him. ?The more Huiyun thought about it, the more he felt that Tucker seemed crazy, but in fact he was bold and careful, and was by no means an ordinary secret seeker. As expected. ?After seeing Tucker covered in venom, Basil became more and more restrained in his attacks. There was a stalemate for a while. "However, the battlefield that really determines victory or defeat is..." The gray cloud looked in another direction. ?There, Moss, covered with ice, was challenging Benjamin in front of him. ??Mossburn was obviously seriously injured by Tucker''s sneak attack, but perhaps it was precisely because he knew that his life was running out that he shined with great brilliance. His whole body is surrounded by extremely terrifying secret power of ice, which can easily freeze the flow of blood and cause the enemy to fall into a frozen state. Even Benjamin moved a little slowly when he was next to Moss. ?The ice ridges and ice knives stabbed out from any place around Benjamin one after another. They were insidious and difficult to guard against. Benjamin just passively avoided them. ?Judging from the surface, it was Moss who had the upper hand for a moment. Whoever wins this battle will determine the future of the [Pirate Principality]. ??Hui Yun watched the battle between the two men intently, thinking in his mind. But who will win? Of course its Benjamin. ?At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside him. Huiyun was startled. He turned around and saw a man in a white coat wearing a single-sided spectacles. Hui Yun should have been wary of such a complete stranger. But for some reason, he felt that it was okay for this man to appear here, and it was normal for him to talk to him. ?Some strange sense of dissonance was quietly erased. ?So, Hui Yun subconsciously asked: "Why?" The man who looked like a researcher smiled: "Can''t you tell?" "Moss has already used all his strength, but Benjamin hasn''t even used 30% of his ability, right?" ifier ??Huiyun took a breath of cold air. He thought that there would be a big gap between Moss and Benjamin, but he never thought that the gap would be so big! So, the apostles are bound to lose, arent they? Thats not necessarily the case. ??The man shook his head: "As long as Augustine comes forward, all problems will be solved." Hui Yun was a little puzzled when he heard this: "But isn''t Augustine seriously injured?" If he wasnt hurt, why was he hiding all this time? The white coat looked at him angrily: "You ask me, who should I ask?" Who knows what kind of medicine that old guy is selling in his gourd! ?Hearing the name "old guy", Hui Yun once again felt a faint sense of strangeness in his heart, but he couldn''t tell what the specific strangeness was. At this time, the white coat pointed at the two people in the field and smiled. Hey, Benjamin is going to get serious. Watch it, Moss will be there soon... huh? ?Just when the white coat was about to express some opinions, his expression changed slightly, he looked at the ground under his feet and murmured. Something is coming! (End of this chapter) Chapter 203 Surrender or die! (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly) Chapter 203 Surrender or die! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Center of the battlefield. The first apostle Moss did not know what the gray cloud and the one-sided mirror man said about him, nor did he know about the changes coming from below the island. He has devoted all his body and mind to this battle. ?? Moss could feel that as he fought with Benjamin again and again, his body temperature was getting colder, and his heartbeat and blood flow were becoming slower and slower. There are even countless tiny ice crystals seeping out from his blood vessels and muscles. But this does not mean that his combat power is weakening. Just the opposite. After the body''s temperature dropped sharply and ice crystallized, the total amount of secret power in Moss''s body continued to increase. Not only that, his control over the secret power of ice also increased step by step, eventually reaching a level he had never imagined. ?Under the biting cold, Benjamin''s movements were a little slow, and some wounds were made by ice edges and ice blades! Moss is proud enough to be able to push Benjamin to this point! At least there are only a few apostles and pirates in the field who can do this. ?However, this kind of power beyond one''s own limits naturally does not come without a price. ? Moss knew very well that his vitality was constantly weakening, and in the end, he might completely turn into an eternal piece of ice. Even so, he still squeezed out the secret power in his body without hesitation. This is his mission and responsibility as the first apostle! At this time. Benjamin, who had always been silent, sighed softly: "Moss, among the pirates I have ever seen, you are indeed one of the best." In terms of qualifications, you are actually not much worse than Augustine. If I give you another ten years, you might really be able to defeat me. "But now...seeing that your character is very suitable for me, I ask you again, are you willing to surrender?" ?? Moss did not speak, but the sneer on his face already showed his determination. at the same time. ?In the palm of Moss''s hand, an icy blue light suddenly lit up. ?In just two seconds, countless light points turned into a light belt condensed by ice crystals, and then shot towards Benjamin with a bang! Wherever the ice crystal streamer passes, the space is shattered one after another, and the violent secret power is continuously extracted, causing the ice crystal streamer''s power to increase rapidly. When it came to Benjamin''s chest, it was so powerful that it could almost collapse the entire palace. The pirates were in a trance when they saw the ice crystals flowing. ?They didnt expect Moss to actually hide such a killer move! At this moment, everyone was staring blankly at the dazzling and dreamy ice crystal flow, unable to resist and not knowing how to resist. Facing such a killing move, Benjamin''s expression remained unchanged and he raised his right hand. In his hand, endless starlight suddenly bloomed. ?Different from Mosss icy blue light spots, the starlight in Benjamins palm seemed to come from the unreachable galaxy of the universe, or from the dark [secret sea] under the sea. In the squirm of light and shadow, it seemed as if a giant beast made of stars roared out of his palm. Immediately afterwards, the starlight beast opened its big mouth and swallowed the icy stream of light into it. With a "chi" sound, the body of the starlight beast was frozen, and the cold light penetrated the beast and went straight to Benjamin''s palm. Can be in the next moment. Another starlight beast was born out of thin air. Swallow the flowing light exactly the same, and turn it into broken ice crystals exactly the same. Only this time, the brilliance of the cold stream of light was weakened a bit visibly to the naked eye. Immediately afterwards, another starlight beast actually appeared... In the eyes of everyone, although the momentum of the icy stream of light is ferocious, it can only destroy those starlight beasts, but cannot truly get close to Benjamin''s body. It seems that...even the physical distance in space is distorted by the starlight. or ??The cold light can never reach the truth that hurt Benjamin! Looking at this scene, the man in the white coat thought to himself: "This first apostle Moss''s [Extreme Cold Beam] has been used to its peak." Coupled with this method of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging oneself by eight thousand, I am afraid that no one else present will be able to follow this secret technique. Its a pity...he happened to meet Benjamin. ??As an observer of this promotion ritual, Bai Daguao has a deep understanding of the abilities of each projected character in the copy. Because of this, he understood Benjamin''s power better. The secret technique this man masters can communicate with the secret power of the stars! The stars in the sky are not only the anchor of the world, but also the reflection of the [Secret Sea] in the sky. Since ancient times, the stars have contained mysterious power, which is also what the gods desire. Ordinary [astrologers] only have a glimpse of the mystery of the stars, and they have the possibility of insight into the future. One can imagine the magic and mystery of the secret power of the stars. And legend has it that in real history, Benjamin once pulled down a huge meteorite and directly destroyed a city. In fact, White Coat himself did not want to face Benjamin in his heyday. ?However, in the projection of this historical slice, the situation is different. Compared with this battle, which has already been decided, what worries the white coat more is... The aura of a certain secret power surging below [Ten Thousand Ships Island]. "The intensity of this aura...is almost approaching the upper limit set by this ritual?" Could it be Augustine? ??White coat also sensed that this breath was quickly approaching the surface. Furthermore, the secret power around the island has also undergone some subtle changes. The only person who can do this seems to be the legendary pirate king. Is he coming? ?Except for the white coats, everyone in the palace was focused on the battle between Benjamin and Moss. ?Benjamin weakened the icy stream of light again and again, but the starlight pouring out of his hands seemed to be endless. Finally, after being swallowed up by the giant starlight beast again, the icy stream of light lost most of its power and dissipated. With a "click" sound. A crack appeared in the ice on Moss''s body, and bluish blood flowed from his mouth and nose. This stream of light is already his last secret technique. ?The streamer was destroyed, which once again depleted Moss''s little remaining vitality. ?His vision was a little blurry and blackened in bursts, but he used his last strength to look at other battlefields around him. ?In the sky, the battle between Fenghou and Tiffany continues. ??Although the blonde woman had a few more wounds on her body, Feng Hou was not in good condition either. There were a few bruises on her face, so the two sides were still at an even balance. Available below. The King of the East and the King of the West completely suppressed the four apostles. After the King of the West roared angrily, the ax in his hand struck one of the apostles, almost splitting him in half with one blow. The four apostles were already below, but one of them was seriously injured, greatly accelerating their defeat. ?Outside the palace, Nana was hit in the waist and abdomen by the Mad King, and pale golden blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of her mouth. ?Her figure swayed, and she had to hold on to a wooden board next to her to steady herself. ?Around and beneath the two men, there were large craters and debris that had been destroyed by violence. The surrounding buildings were reduced to ruins, as if two ferocious beasts had wreaked havoc here. Nana, it seems that I am stronger now! ?Mad King Crowe grinned, the red hair dancing all over his body adding a bit of madness. The battlefield between Basil and the traitor Tucker was even more tense. ??Due to the venom in Tucker''s body, Basil didn''t dare to get too close. Tucker was happy to stall for time, waiting for Benjamin and Moss to decide the winner on the main battlefield. Are wegoing to lose? After seeing the situation around him clearly, Moss sighed deeply in his heart: "I''m sorry, Lord Augustine, I failed to fulfill my promise..." Moss, you are a worthy enemy. ?Benjamin said as he walked towards Moss who was lying on the ground. "So, I decided to kill you with my own hands - this is the highest respect I have for a warrior." Speaking, Benjamin raised his head, and many starlights flowed out of his palms and turned into a long sword. ?? Moss closed his eyes silently, waiting for death to come. But at this moment. ?Benjamin suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky higher through the dome of the palace, which had a large hole ripped through it. For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his face. ?Not only Benjamin, but everyone present noticed the change in the sky. I dont know which pirate was the first to exclaim. Its, its dark! Just as this person said, the sky, which was clear just now, turned dark in the blink of an eye. ??The light that should have been projected on this [Ten Thousand Ships Island] seemed to be absorbed by some existence. Darkness surged up like a tide. ?This situation is somewhat similar to the situation when [Emerald Island] encountered [Wrath of God]. Some pirates tried to light torches to light up the surrounding area. ??Only the light from the torch was extremely dim, and the visibility was extremely low. ?This undoubtedly caused a wave of massive commotion and unrest. Not to mention the pirates in the palace, the entire residents of [Ten Thousand Ships Island] were frightened by the sudden darkness. In the sky. ?Fenghou and Tiffany stopped at the same time and looked up at the sky. Fenghou frowned, and the ominous premonition in her heart became more and more intense. Whats going on? "Is it a secret technique? But the scope it covers is so large?" Not far away, Tiffanys eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking. Crazy King Crow, who was about to pursue the victory against Nana, suddenly stopped, with a gloomy expression on his face. Augustine took action!? But this breath doesnt seem to be him. But if it werent for Augustine, who else could perform such a secret skill? Crow was extremely afraid of Augustine. That was because he had personally challenged the pirate king, and he understood the strength of that man better. So powerful that... now Crowe no longer dares to think of challenging him. Beside, a somewhat embarrassed Nana twitched her delicate little nose, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in surprise. Its him whos back! Besides, he has become much stronger than before! This kind of breath smells so good..." In the darkness around her, Nana seemed to be surrounded by that person''s breath, and her pretty face couldn''t help but turn a little rosy. At the same time, Nana also had a bold idea and said to herself. Grandma said that the stronger the child is, the stronger the child will be. It just so happens that he also has the blood of the ancient dragon in his body, which can strengthen our half-dragon population. Grandma also said that when you meet a man you like, you have to take action as soon as possible! "When the promotion ceremony is over, I have to invite him to mate! He shouldn''t refuse, right?" Of course Crowe didnt know what Nana was thinking, but he was even more surprised when he heard the two sentences that Nana blurted out. Whos back? Is it really Augustine who can surprise this half-dragon like this? ?Thinking of this, Mad King had the urge to escape as soon as possible. On another battlefield. ?Feeling the disappearing light all around, King Dong and King Xi were secretly frightened, but the movements of their hands did not stop at all. No matter what, kill the four apostles in front of you first, and the situation will turn to their side! At this moment. A voice suddenly sounded in the hearts of all the people shrouded in darkness. I am John Smith, the twelfth apostle. To all the rebels on the island, I only give you two choices. Surrender, or die! Hearing this voice, everyone was startled at first, and then their first reaction was confusion. John Smith? The twelfth apostle? Who is this? Compared with the four kings of the sea, the first apostle, and Benjamin of the Royal Navy, the name of the twelfth apostle is really not resounding. So much so that many pirates have never heard of this famous figure. ?Dong Wang paused for a moment and couldn''t help but sneered. Who do you think you are? In the end, he is just an apostle ranked last, and he still dares to say such big words? Let me kill these apostles first, and then Ill get rid of you! Before he finished speaking, he was about to pierce the throat of the seriously injured apostle with a sword. But suddenly, a faint sigh sounded in his ears. In that case, lets start with you. A **** hand quietly stretched out from behind King Dong and pulled him into the darkness. "What!?" The words of King Dong stopped abruptly. What followed was the sound of flesh being cut one after another. The strange thing is that these sounds actually sounded in everyone''s ears very clearly. Then, there was the dying cry of begging. How is it possible...what kind of monster are you? I dont want to die simultaneously! Finally, the sound of blood splattering sounded, representing the death of the king. Is this the voice of King Dong? Is he already dead? How long has it been!? It was less than ten seconds from the sound of "John Smith" to the death of King Dong. ?This kind of speed really makes everyone feel unbelievable. ?That is King Dong, one of the four kings! How could he die so quickly? Soon, everyone present realized that the darkness around them... seemed to have become thicker! (End of this chapter) Chapter 204 【Great Dark Sky! 】 Chapter 204 [Great Dark Sky! Wanchuan Island. ?The darkness was as thick as substance, covering the crowd silently, even causing ripples like water waves. ?Among all the people present, the one who was most frightened was King Xi among the four kings. Just ten seconds ago, he was fighting side by side with King Dong, preparing to kill the four apostles. But in the blink of an eye, King Dongs begging for mercy and screams came from the darkness. Then, the darkness around him returned to silence, and even the sounds of other pirates disappeared from his ears. ?This strange silence gave King Xi a strong sense of uneasiness. Whats going on? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? Could it be that... King Dong is really dead? King Xi still didnt want to believe this: No, its impossible! "It must be just an auditory hallucination created by that guy. There is no way King Dong will be defeated so quickly!" He looked into the thick darkness around him, trying to find the figure of King Dong or other pirates. Its just that being in this darkness, not only the vision is greatly hindered, but also the senses such as smell and hearing are also greatly affected. Its almost like ?This darkness was releasing pure malice towards him continuously and without reservation. Where are the others? Why cant you even see a pirate? ? King Xis heart was beating fast and his breathing was a little tight. ??This feeling of being alone in the darkness was really terrible! By the way, light! As long as there is light, darkness can be dispelled. An idea flashed in King Xi''s mind, and he immediately activated his secret power and poured it into the ax in his hand. Immediately, a bright yellow light gradually lit up on the big ax, making the weapon heavier and more indestructible. ??The secret power mastered by this pirate King of the West is related to mountains. Once it is blessed on weapons or the body, it will be as thick and solid as mountains. Feeling the ax tightly held in his hand, King Xi gradually calmed down, and a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. ??It seems that as long as you have this big ax in your hand, you can cut through any enemy! Dont look down on me as one of the five kings of the sea! Boy, come out and die! ?At the same time as he roared, King Xi also saw that not far away from the bright yellow light, a dark and uncertain figure was watching him silently. Got you! ?The King of the West laughed ferociously, holding a big ax in his hand, and struck the man in the direction of his head! ?This time the chop was powerful and heavy, causing a dull sound of wind, as if the entire mountain was smashed down! However, when King Xis ax fell on the figure, there was no feeling of hitting the entity. ??The big ax seemed to have penetrated a shadow and directly hit the ground with a bang. ?Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the ground surface, and the ground seemed to be shaken, which shows the terrifying power of this slashing. This is not his true body? Is it just a shadow? ??Just when King Xi was in shock and doubt, Xia En''s voice sounded faintly behind him. West King Epson, you will be the second. Go to hell! The King of the West twisted his waist and struck down with an axe! ?The wind is howling and the air waves are rolling. It''s just that no matter how terrible the attack is, as long as it misses, it will have no effect. ? King Xis face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes scanned around him warily. What second one? He means that I will become the second rebel to die after the King of the East? Youre just pretending to be a god! Watch me chop you to death! But it will be the next moment. ??A figure quietly walked out from the side of King Xi. A dagger that was a mixture of blood and black easily cut through the flesh and opened a long wound on his waist and abdomen. ? King Xi grunted and slashed at his side at an extremely fast speed. ?However, this inevitable ax still failed to hit! How is it possible? How can he be so fast? After being cut open several times and returning without success, King Xi finally came to his senses. No, its not his speed, but the darkness This darkness is his domain! ?Although King Xi was suppressed by the promotion ritual, this part of his memory still remained in his mind. He quickly realized the nature of this strange darkness. In King Xis memory, he also remembered another thing Only the domain can fight against the domain! Damn, damn, damn! Why can this twelfth apostle control the domain? This is inconsistent with the information obtained in advance! ?Thinking of this, the King of the West lost all intention to fight and began to rush towards the distance at full speed. ?But soon, he found in despair that no matter how he tried to escape, he could not break out of this darkness. ??Moreover, that vague figure would always appear next to him like a shadow and attack from any angle. Sometimes its above the head, sometimes its behind you, and sometimes its underground! ?The darkness full of malice, the shadowy figures that may appear at any time, the peeping from the dark side...the suffering of all this seems to never end. After being attacked again and again and the injuries on his body getting worse, the fear in King Xi''s heart also accumulated and amplified little by little. The high-intensity fighting and the tense body and mind made him even more nervous. Ahhhhhhh! ?Suddenly, King Xi shouted, activating the remaining secret power in his body and waving the ax in his hand wildly. Dont come over! Dont come over! Ill kill you! Ill kill you! ?Under such violent catharsis, a bright yellow light burst out, and everything around him was destroyed by King Xi and turned into ruins. Only darkness remains. Not far away, Xia En looked at the crazy King Xi silently, feeling a little strange. Is he crazy? Really, am I so terrible? However, this [Big Dark Sky] is indeed easier to use than I imagined. This secret technique derived from the "Twilight Black Pearl" was named "Great Dark Sky" by Xia En. Not only does it combine his own abilities, but also incorporates the moves from the [Book of Shadows], integrating attack, defense, and interference into one, making it an all-around field. Not long. After all the secret power in King Xi''s body was released, Xia En quietly came behind him and cut off his head with a casual knife. At this point, two of the five kings of the sea have died! In the eyes of everyone. The death of the King of the West in battle was far more shocking than the death of the King of the East. The reason is simple The King of the East died too quickly. It was in darkness again, and people had no idea whether he was dead or how he died. Epsom, king of Kexi, persisted for a while in the hands of the twelfth apostle. ?Furthermore, the bright yellow secret power he exudes is like the bright moon at night, attracting people''s attention. ??The pirates were also able to see how the King of the West went from being confident to panicked and then completely driven crazy. Just watching his death and listening to his screams gave people a chilling feeling, as if they had personally experienced the despair and fear of being forced into a desperate situation. ?At the same time, the pirates vaguely saw the strange and looming figure, and many speculations arose in their minds. In the corner, Hui Yun was extremely surprised and asked in surprise. John is still alive? And, why can we see King Xi, but he doesnt seem to see us? Not far from Hui Yun, a strange color flashed in the eyes of the man in a white coat wearing a single-sided spectacles. If I read it correctly, this should be the power of the domain. Our various senses have been affected and distorted by the surrounding darkness. I am afraid that he alone blinded King Xis perception, and this is why he remains invincible from beginning to end. Field? ?Huiyun widened his eyes and murmured: "Isn''t that an ability that only fifth-level secret path practitioners can master?" How did this guy get around the restrictions and do this? Wait, his breath At this moment, Hui Yun suddenly realized that the aura displayed by Xia En was far vaster and deeper than that of the third-level Mystic Pathfinder. This is clearly the fourth level! But here, isnt it the third-level promotion ritual? Did he take advantage of some loophole in the [Secret Sea] trial? This is cheating! Wrong. ??The white coat shook his head: "This guy probably used some external object in the ritual to temporarily improve his rank." "Even the power of this domain should be related to that foreign object." Hearing this, Huiyun felt a lot better. ??If Xia En was originally a fourth-level mystic, but ended up participating in the third-level promotion ritual, everyone would feel it was unfair. ?However, looking at the situation on the field, Hui Yun''s heart was not completely relieved. Even if John now has a fourth-level combat power, the Mad King and the Wind Queen are also fourth-level. Not to mention, there is a Benjamin who has not yet shown his full strength. Will he...really win? At this time. A burst of hearty laughter sounded in the darkness. Hahaha, I didnt expect there to be a strong person like you among the apostles! You are amazing for being able to kill the East King and the West King consecutively. The one who laughed was none other than the mad king Crow outside the palace. ?The red hair all over his body was flying in the wind, and the energy and blood in his body roared, constantly emitting extremely high temperatures. Even though Crowe''s figure was still obscured by darkness, the pirates could clearly feel the hot and strong aura. Crowe continued: "However, just to let you know, among us, the East King and the West King are the two weakest people." I have always disdained being called one of the five kings with them. You killed them, I have to thank you very much! ?These words shocked the pirates. ??When not facing Augustine, Crowe is indeed worthy of the name of "Mad King"! However, what Xia En said next shocked everyone even more. Crazy King Crow? In my eyes, there is no difference between you and those two. Im not targeting you alone, I just want to say that everyone here is rubbish. ?All the pirates were in an uproar. ??Hui Yun opened his mouth slightly. ?These words are simply crazier than Crowe! ?Mad King Crow stopped laughing. He said coldly: "A mere apostle still dares to say such big words." Your arrogance will be your downfall! ?Even though Crowe was extremely jealous of Augustine, he always had a arrogant sense of superiority in his heart when dealing with others besides Augustine. The eyes are higher than the top, and the eyes are empty of everything. This is why he is called the "Mad King". At the moment, he was naturally angry at Xia En''s ridicule. When had he been despised by such a little apostle? The next moment. ??Chloe stamped his feet on the ground, and as the ground beneath his feet undulated and collapsed, he rushed towards a direction in the darkness like a cannonball. With the help of his sense of energy and blood, he was able to locate Xia En''s position. In the process of the death of the East King and the West King, Crowe also vaguely saw the effect of Xia En''s domain power. He can appear in almost every location in the dark. Just every time you shuttle, there will be a very short pause. The way to break this shadow shuttle is very simple. Thats it Faster than he can travel through the darkness! For most people, this is of course unrealistic, but Crazy King Crow can do this! Want to fight me head-on? Xia En''s voice sounded: "Okay, then let me completely defeat you in the area where you are most confident!" Suddenly, there was a loud bang amidst the screams in the air. Chloe''s body collided with Shane''s. Terrible force stirred in the air, and the wind roared and swept away. Chloe''s face changed slightly. His collision was like hitting a big mountain! He immediately understood that the opponent''s physical fitness was definitely not inferior to his! ??Then the two sides fought faster and faster, Crowe continuously shot around Shane, hitting back and forth like a meteor. ??The surrounding buildings were swept up in the air waves created by the fighting between the two sides, and completely collapsed in an instant, turning into large areas of ruins. However, what makes all onlookers feel incredible is... Crow, who has always been known for his physicality, is at an absolute disadvantage! ?In people''s perception, the red mass of Qi and blood is like a toy being rubbed, beaten, and tempered wantonly. No matter how Crowe activates the blood in his body, the opponent''s quality in all aspects will exceed his own. This gradually gave Crowe a sense of despair. As a mystic who is good at close combat, he understands better ?Although skills can make up for some differences in physical fitness, when the gap reaches a certain level, it cannot be overcome no matter what. In fact, not long ago, Crowe used this to defeat Nana. But now, it was his turn to experience this kind of crushing in attributes and values ??for himself! ?This can only be considered bad luck for Crowe. After all, from time to time until now, Xia En''s strongest means has never been any secret skills or combat skills, but this body with exaggerated numerical values. With the addition of [Twilight Black Pearl] and various talents, even Xia En didn''t know how strong his physical fitness was now. A "boom" punch. ?Shaan directly smashed Crow into the ground. He turned to look at the others and said, "You guys, don''t waste any more time. Let''s go together." Chrome stood up with difficulty from the pit, coughed up blood in his mouth, and shouted loudly. Fenghou, Tucker, Benjamin, what are you waiting for? If we dont take action, we will be defeated one by one by him! Not far away, Tuckers eyes flashed with venomous blood flowing all over his body. He had already begun to think about retreating. ?Through the wave of killings just now, his trial evaluation has been improved several times. There is no need to fight this guy to the death anymore. The most correct choice is to stay calm until the ritual is over. High up in the palace, the face behind the wind is extremely solemn. Beheaded two kings one after another, and suppressed the mad king Crow head-on. After seeing this fighting power, she had developed a deep fear of Xia En. Fenghou looked at Benjamin, who was emitting starlight below, and thought: "The only person here who can defeat him is probably this man." At this time, Benjamin finally said his first words to Shane. (End of this chapter) Chapter 205 A new king ascends the throne! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 205 The new king ascends the throne! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) "Apostle John, you are indeed very powerful. It can be said that you are the only strong person here who can threaten me." ?Benjamin looked at Xia En in the darkness and said. "But just like Crowe said, your arrogance will be your downfall." Through your battle with the three pirates, I have seen through the essence of your secret skill. Its really remarkable to use darkness as your realm. However, unfortunately, my power happens to absolutely restrain your secret technique. As he spoke, Benjamins palms lit up with stars. Let me ask you for the last time now, are you willing to surrender? As long as you surrender, I will give you the rank of colonel on behalf of the Royal Navy, and you can even apply for a title from the king. Hearing these words, the pirates in the scene were greatly shocked. They didn''t expect that Benjamin would have such a high opinion of Xia En, and he also offered such a generous surrender treatment. The rank of colonel, a title on the mainland, is something that countless pirates dream of. What frightens the pirates even more is... ??If Xia En really surrenders, then no one in the [Pirate Principality] at this time can stop the two of them from sweeping away. Chuluo was defeated, the first apostle was seriously injured, and the king of the west and the king of the east were dead. The only ones who can be considered as having combat strength are the Wind Queen above and the third apostle Tiffany. ?Aware of this, everyone present had their hearts high, waiting for Xia En''s reply. I have to say, your proposal is very attractive. ?Shaan''s casual words made the pirates'' hearts rise in their throats. Fortunately, his next words made them relax. But, I refuse! If you want to destroy [Pirate Principality], then try to defeat me first! Benjamin was not surprised by Xia En''s choice, he just sighed with regret. It seems that another genius is going to die in my hands today. Before he finished speaking, several bright stars lit up around Benjamin. ?Moreover, these looming stars quickly spread into the distance, and the starlight also changed from weak to bright. As the stars lit up everywhere in the darkness, the darkness that was originally as thick as a tide began to become a little thinner, the visibility slowly increased, and the deep malice also gradually dissipated. Fear comes from the unknown. Once there is light in the darkness and you can see things around you, this fear will be greatly reduced. ??Huiyun immediately saw Benjamins intention and said in shock. He plans to use starlight to disperse the darkness and completely destroy this realm! So, as Benjamin said, his secret skill is naturally Johns nemesis! Beside him, the man in a white coat shook his head and laughed. This guys field is not that simple. "If you simply treat it as pure darkness, you will definitely suffer a big loss." ? Hui Yun was dubious about his judgment and stared at the two people in the field intently. After the starlight gradually brightened, Xia En''s figure and face appeared in front of everyone. People were surprised by his youth and beauty, and they were also horrified by the ruins around him that looked like they had been destroyed by a storm. What kind of battle could leave such a mark? ??As for Mad King Crow, who was standing in the pit, his condition could only be described as "in dire straits." I saw that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his whole body was covered in wounds. His red hair had been torn to pieces, and several of his bones were broken. ??? formed a sharp contrast with Xia En''s calm and unhurried posture. At this time. The first one to make a move was not Shane and Benjamin, but Roshan Tucker, who had been extremely honest from the beginning! ??His feet were constantly seeping out of extremely corrosive venom, which actually corroded a hole in the ground beneath him, and he took the opportunity to drill down. ?Tucker originally didnt want to run away at this time. But in his perception, he clearly noticed that the darkness illuminated by the starlight was still casting strong malice towards him. ?This malice is getting stronger and stronger! ?Tucker immediately figured it out ?The twelfth apostle named John wanted to kill him! ?This made Tucker puzzled. It was clear that a powerful enemy was in front of him, so why did this man still focus on himself, who was not a big threat? ??Moreover, now that Benjamin has taken action, why does this sense of threat from the darkness still not subside? ?Instinct told Tucker that he must escape as soon as possible! That''s why he suddenly made such a move. ?Seeing that Tucker''s fat body was about to corrode a tunnel and escape under the sea water. The next moment. A cold snort sounded in his ears. Hmph, want to escape? The thick darkness followed Tucker deep into the tunnel. A long sword made of shadows stabbed Tucker straight in the back of the heart. simultaneously! ??Tucker''s back spit out a ball of venom from the fat on his back, corroding the shadow sword completely. His poisonous blood has gone beyond the scope of ordinary liquid, and even the secret power can corrode and decompose it. ??However, spitting out such poisonous blood is also a loss for Tucker, bringing him one step closer to death. ??He has to insist on living until the promotion ritual is over, so naturally he doesn''t want to continue using this life-saving style of play. ?So, Tucker''s face was twisted and ferocious, and he roared angrily. John, dont force me! Believe it or not, if I blow myself up, 50% of the people on the island will be poisoned to death! This sea area will completely turn into a dead sea! Xia En said calmly: "What does that have to do with me?" Besides, you can give it a try and see if you can do it. As he spoke, more than a dozen shadow daggers stabbed out from all directions, cutting Tucker''s body crazily. At this time, a hint of anger finally appeared on Benjamins calm face. John, how dare you be distracted when facing me? Its so...so stupid! ?Benjamins anger is easy to understand. ??He originally regarded Xia En as an opponent of the same level and was ready to fight with him, but at this time Xia En ignored him and went to chase Tucker. What a slight! ?What an insult! ? ?Especially for a strong man like Benjamin who has been famous for a long time, it is even more intolerable. ?While Benjamin was angry, the stars around him actually took on a slight red light. ?These starlights quickly condensed and changed, and finally turned into a huge and long spear. ?Benjamin clenched his hands tightly, as if holding the starlight spear. Immediately, he turned his body and threw the starlight spear with all his strength! The spear instantly turned into a stream of light and struck directly in the direction of Xia En. Seeing this dazzling starlight, the pirates were all shaken and felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. Their first reaction is to instinctively explode their secret power to protect themselves. Even Queen Feng, Mad King, and Tiffany find it difficult to remain calm. ?In their perception, the danger level of this starlight spear is several times higher than that of the first apostle Moss''s icy stream of light. ?Moreover, it also gives people a feeling of "locking in" and "definitely winning". John is dead. At this moment, many people had such thoughts in their minds. ?However, in the face of the rapidly coming starlight spear, Shane still turned a deaf ear and extended a giant shadow hand to Tucker. ?Tucker, who was hiding underground, wailed in his heart. Is this person crazy? Its already this time and he still wants to kill me?! Or is it that he knew he was going to die, so he wanted to help him? ?No matter what, the threat of death is still very real. ?Tucker gritted his teeth and became fierce, a flash of madness flashed in his eyes: "If you want to die, let''s die together!" I didnt succeed in promotion, and neither can others! Immediately, driven by the secret power, his body was transformed into flammable and explosive substances using alchemical secrets. Then, the fat and poisonous blood burned violently, and a horrific explosion occurred in an instant. Just before the explosion spread outwards and even spread to the entire island. A giant shadow hand suddenly grasped it in the palm of his hand, compressing the power of the explosion into a very small range. ! ?Nearly everyone heard a muffled sound, and the ground shook violently. This vibration ??Huiyun''s face changed slightly: "Did Tucker blow himself up?" But the power seems to have weakened a lot "No, the most important thing now is whether John can take this starlight spear." He stared intently at the direction in which the Starlight Spear fell, and couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. I saw that the starlight spear tore through a large amount of darkness during the passage, and it was extremely dazzling. But when it was about to land on Xia En, its speed suddenly slowed down, as if it had plunged into a mass of mud. Not only that, the darkness around Xia En changed strangely again, becoming thicker and deeper, covering his figure again. Just a few seconds, in people''s perception, it seems like a century has passed. Soon, Xia Ens voice sounded again. "Benjamin, do you think... you are the only one who can use the secret power of the stars?" Look carefully, this is how the real secret power of the stars is used! The next moment. ??In the darkness surrounding Xia En, countless stars lit up, reflecting his appearance at this time - A huge giant that barely maintains human outlines and whose body is covered with starlight. ?Beside this starlight giant, there is the vast starry sky and the bottomless darkness. Xia En in front of him seemed to be standing in the starry sky extremely far away from them, quietly overlooking the actions of these ants. ?In his hand, he caught the starlight spear lightly, preventing it from making any progress. ??The originally extremely slender spear was just a short sword in his hand. Xia En held the "dagger" and flicked it gently. At a faster speed than when it came, it flew towards Benjamin who was standing where he was. Not only the pirates in the palace, but also the entire [Ten Thousand Ships Island] and everyone in the surrounding area looked at this starlight giant with disbelief. In this realm of [great darkness], he is the only light! ?Some people with strong inspiration will even have indescribable hallucinations after looking directly at this starlight giant. In other words, they saw some... things they shouldn''t have seen. This kind of secret skill...this kind of field...is simply unreasonably strong! ??Hui Yun stared at the Starlight Giant, his mouth wide open. He has never been so lucky for a moment. This John is his teammate, not his enemy. Interesting! Interesting! ??The white coat next to Huiyun showed excitement, looking at Xia En with the eyes of a rare treasure in the world, and murmured in his mouth. Not only can you strengthen your own talents and secret skills, but you can also absorb all the secret powers in this field..." When you are weak, you are strong; when you are strong, you are stronger! Simply a genius idea! But why does his breath feel a little familiar? No one paid attention to what the man said to himself. Their eyes all fell on the landing point of the starlight spear. ?Benjamins expression was solemn, and he raised his hands together. A ball of starlight turned like a millstone, pulling back and forth and weakening the power of the starlight spear. Soon, many red starlights dispersed. ?Benjamins face turned slightly pale. It was obvious that he didnt take the spear easily. Oh? Arent you coming over yet? Xia En spoke again: "Then I will attack it." At this time, colorful and ever-changing nebulae appeared behind him. It smells of corrosion and infection. Its Tuckers poison! ?Benjamin immediately recognized the nature of this nebula, and his brows couldn''t help but frown deeper. You extracted the secret power of my stars? Xia En smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I would like to thank you very much for adding a few more stars to my [Great Dark Sky]." However, even without you, I can still call upon this secret power. ??If Benjamin had not wanted to use the stars to light up the darkness, he would not have dispersed the secret power of the stars to every corner of the [Great Dark Sky]. This gave Xia En the opportunity to extract secret power on a large scale. Facing this situation, Benjamin took a deep breath, and little dark red starlight seeped out from the pores of his skin. John, come and fight! ?After giving a loud shout, Benjamin rushed towards Xia En with a bang. Immediately afterwards, people saw two groups of starlight of different colors engaging in an extremely fierce fight in the darkness. The two stir, collide, and entangle with each other. ??The pirates could barely see the figures of the two men clearly at first, but soon, they could only see two stars in the darkness, fighting from one end of [Ten Thousand Ships Island] to the other. Just the aftermath of the confrontation between the two made many pirates tremble with fear. ?However, most people can see it... In midair, the red starlight was fading step by step, while the giant''s light became brighter and brighter. No matter how fierce the confrontation is, there is a moment to stop. With a "boom", the dark red starlight was defeated again, and Benjamin''s figure flew out, hitting the palace where the four walls were destroyed and almost reduced to ruins. Xia En''s body shape then appeared and returned to a normal human body shape. After stepping on Benjamin''s feet, he walked step by step towards the throne in the hall. In the entire palace, only the throne miraculously remained intact. ?Shaan walked forward while looking around at the pirates. ?Whether it was Fenghou, Crowe, or the other apostles, they all lowered their heads silently. No one dared to look at him. Fear, humility, shock, excitement, awe...Xia En saw different emotions on their faces, but he remained calm inside. Suddenly, a pirate knelt on the ground, knelt down to Xia En, and shouted enthusiastically: "King! You will become the new pirate king!" ?his call was immediately responded to by many people. A new king is born! Please lead us forward! Invite the new king to ascend the throne! ?Amidst thousands of cries, Xia En sat down on the throne. The next moment. ? ?An even higher voice resounded throughout [Wanchuan Island]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 206 Promoted to the fourth level! Hidden profession [Deep Sea Devourer] Chapter 206 Promoted to the fourth level! Hidden profession [Deep Sea Devourer] Under the shining of thousands of stars, amid the calls of many pirates. Xia En sat on the throne in the center of [Ten Thousand Ships Island]. But the next moment. ??The pirates'' voices suddenly stopped, and the entire island fell silent at an extremely fast speed. Soon, the surroundings became so quiet... People can even hear their own heartbeat and breathing. From extreme noise to extreme silence, it took almost only two or three seconds. This should have been an incredible thing, but at this time, no one among the pirates cared about such a trivial matter. ??Their attention was all attracted by a figure appearing next to Xia En. ?His snow-white beard, old face, and slightly stooped figure are no longer as tall and tall as they once were. ?Strangely, he wore a crown that he rarely wore todayit was a crown of kings made by top craftsmen when the [Pirate Principality] was established. But maybe it was because he hadn''t worn it for too long, or maybe it was because the king was getting older. When the crown was put on his head, it no longer seemed to fit well, and it was actually a little crooked. However, no one of the pirates present dared to despise him for this. Just the opposite. Almost everyone felt a stronger fear in their hearts than when they faced Xia En. ?This awe comes from the past decades of rule, from the afterimage that always charges forward, and from the victorious maritime battles. ?That is the real king of the [Pirate Principality] Augustine! Seeing him, the pirates'' hearts were in their throats. ?In their view, Augustine would definitely take action against Shane, who attempted to usurp the throne, and then settle accounts with others. Furthermore, looking at Augustine''s condition, he is just a little old and has not suffered any serious injuries. ?In this case, isn''t Xia En bound to lose? ?Even though the pirates have seen Sean''s strength, the fear of Augustine seems to be engraved in their hearts. They would repeatedly test Augustine, who was suspected of being seriously injured, and were extremely afraid. Faced with Augustine in his prime, they even lacked the courage to challenge him. ?Huiyun sighed and said regretfully. Its over now, John will probably be executed on the spot by Augustine. ? He ??also did not think that Shane could survive Augustine''s hands. But what happened next made everyones eyes widen Facing Xia En who was sitting on the throne, Augustine not only did not get angry, but instead showed a pleased smile, almost speaking in an approving tone. You did a great job. I couldnt do this when I was your age. You have proven to me that your possibility, even if it is still weak, is enough for me to place my hope in the future. While saying this, Augustine slowly took off the crown on his head. The next moment, his tone suddenly became solemn and solemn. I, the captain of the Black Sails Fleet and the founder of the [Pirate Principality], now, in the name of Augustine... crown you! You will become the new king! Please lead people towards the future you describe! ??For some reason, when Xia En heard this, his heart felt like it was hit hard, and he felt a rare feeling of tears filling his eyes. He knew very well the pride in the old man''s heart. ?Shane understood better that Augustine crowned him not for him alone, but for the future that he said would expel the gods, and for the world to no longer be destroyed and destroyed at will. ?For this reason, the old man is willing to put aside his pride and hand over the crown to him. ?When the crown was placed on Xia En''s head, Xia En suddenly felt that the whole world seemed different. He seemed to hear many voices and feel many emotions. ?These sounds and emotions are so real and so close. ?It is like there are countless threads passing through this crown and connecting to him. Those are the citizens of the [Pirate Principality]. ?Their awe, envy, fear, and jealousy all turned into some invisible force that washed over Xia En''s mind. Fortunately, this impact only lasted a very short moment. Xia En calmed down, raised his head, and happened to meet Augustine''s eyes. ?He suddenly understood what Augustine wanted to say If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight! The process of fighting the gods is bound to be difficult, and this burden is bound to be heavy. Xia En said to himself: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous." At this time, Augustine suddenly smiled and said: "Sure enough, you are even better than I expected." However, there is still one thing you didnt do your best at. ?Shaan couldn''t help but asked curiously: "What is it?" There are more than two apostles who betrayed me. As Augustine spoke, he stretched out his big hand in a direction not far away. In that direction, stood the Wind Queen and the Third Apostle Tiffany. ?Fenghou suddenly let out a scream of terror, and his body suddenly dispersed into countless blue hurricanes, running away in all directions. ?But in Augustine''s hands, these hurricanes completely lost their previous sharpness and strength, and were held into a ball by him like well-behaved sheep. Finally, return to the shape after the wind. ?Feng Hou suddenly vomited blood on the spot and suddenly became a little depressed. ??Moreover, her legs and arms were all limp, and it was obvious that several bones were broken. ?However, what Augustine really wants to deal with is not Feng Hou, but Tiffany standing next to her! ?Under the crushing force of the invisible force, the air around Tiffany suddenly tightened and became extremely solid. ??Had it been another secret traveler, I am afraid that he would have been crushed so hard that his bones would burst into pieces in an instant, and he would have fallen to the ground and died. But beside Tiffany, there was a barrier of telekinesis that firmly protected her from being crushed by the huge force. The situation is different from that of being killed directly after the wind. ?This layer of mental barrier appears to be extremely strong, barely equal to Augustine''s strength. ?This phenomenon immediately shocked the other apostles. ?This means that Tiffany is hiding its own strength! And when fighting against Feng Hou, he still did not use all his strength! Combined with Augustines words, the identity of the last traitor is already clear. ?However, the apostles could not figure out why Tiffany, as the third apostle, betrayed Augustine? According to rumors, didnt they have a relationship that went beyond friendship? Hui Yun who was watching was also shocked: "Among the twelve apostles, there are actually traitors?" Or Tiffany? He looked to his side, wanting the man in the white coat with a single-sided spectacles to analyze the situation for him. ?But when I turned around, I saw that the white coat had disappeared. Where has he gone? In the field. Under heavy pressure. ??Tiffany''s expression was unusually calm, and she just asked curiously. When did you find out? I should have never shown any flaws. Augustine said calmly: "You did play Tiffany very well, but playing... is just playing after all." Before he finished speaking, the invisible big hand tightened again. Click! A clear crack appeared in the barrier that enveloped Tiffany. Obviously, Augustine wanted to crush the barrier and Tiffany directly! He can do this. Because...he is Augustine! But at this moment. A figure in a white coat suddenly appeared next to Tiffany. ??The man said with a smile: "Mr. Augustine, why are you so angry?" "I think we can actually have a good talk." Seeing this man, Xia En''s pupils shrank sharply. ? ? Single-sided glasses, suspicious appearance of a researcher... Such distinctive features immediately reminded him of a man mentioned by the Queen of the Sea Tribe and Joey. A name comes out of your mouth. [Undertaker]!? Hearing this, the white coat glanced at Xia En in surprise. You actually know this name? Its just one of the names Ive used, though. At least in this slice of history, I prefer the name [Observer]. A slice of history? Observer? ?Xia En frowned slightly and had many questions in his mind. But now is obviously not the time to get to the bottom of things. Augustine beside him seemed to have expected the appearance of the [Observer], and said: "Did it really come out?" You worms eating history! "The replaced Tiffany is the anchor point for your smuggling, right?" Observer grinned: "As expected of Augustine, even if it is just a copied projection, he has such a profound understanding of us." Xia Ens heart skipped a beat. ??If this man spoke out the essence of the promotion ritual so brazenly, wouldn''t it have any impact on other pirates? Xia En turned to look at the others, but was surprised to find... The faces of the pirates were blank, as if they had not heard what the [Observer] was saying at all. In fact, when the words of this white coat fell on their ears, they turned into a kind of noise that was simply incomprehensible. In other words, this is a shielding sound used to protect the personalities of these projections. Only the trialists who participated in the promotion can understand it. Augustine obviously didnt want to talk nonsense with the [Observer] anymore, and his big hands suddenly tightened. Immediately afterwards, the space around the [observer] was directly blocked and shattered. This time, it is no longer the squeeze from the air. Rather, this space was controlled by Augustine. It turned into an indescribable weapon, launching an attack on the [Observer] and "Tiffany". The ability that Augustine truly mastered was the power of space! Surprisingly Just when this destructive force was about to spread to the [Observer]''s body, the air around him turned into... A mess of code? Thats right, its gibberish! ?Countless chaotic, indescribable and weird words are constantly emerging and entangled. The chaotic flow of light and shadow, like a mosaic, obscures the bodies of the [Observer] and Tiffany. It also prevents the terrifying power of space from crossing this layer of mosaic and really harming the two of them. ??Even Xia En saw this strange phenomenon for the first time. At the same time, the voice of [Observer] continued to sound from the mosaic. Augustine, why bother? We [Truth Society] have always been sincere to you. Truth Society! Shane was not surprised by the name. ?Such a scene filled with a sense of dissonance can only be achieved by people from the Truth Society. ??If you compare this promotion ritual to a game copy, the [Observer] in front of you is like a BUG in the copy. Enter a certain "invincible" state and will not be affected by external attacks. Wait, stow away... ?Shaan suddenly remembered a word Augustine mentioned before. Perhaps, its not a BUG, ??but...an alien virus! ?In Augustines words, [The Will of the Secret Sea] is an extremely large, sophisticated, and absolutely rational machine. ?Then naturally some people will think of using this machine to achieve some unique purpose. The worm that eats history Could it be said that the purpose of the [Truth Society] is to collect real historical data and information from this promotion copy? But why do they do this? ?Xia En only felt a headache. So far, he still doesnt know what kind of organization the [Truth Society] is. They dont even understand what the truth they are pursuing is. At this time, Augustine continued: "In my opinion, you are not much better than the apostles of [Huisi Ming]." The gods they believe in are just to satisfy their own desires, and there are still traces of their behavioral patterns. But the existence of your faithis madness itself! "shut up!" In the mosaic, [Observer] said coldly: "Augustin, do you have to force me to destroy this projection of yours?" Augustine was undaunted: Then come and give it a try! [The Will of the Secret Sea] should be coming soon, right? ?The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if there was a big mountain pressing on everyone''s hearts. ??The confrontation between two top strong men will make the weak tremble even if it only exists in their minds. But soon, [Observer] smiled and said, Well, this time, Ill count you as the winner. However, I did not lose. He turned his head in the mosaic and looked at Xia En. I finally remembered, it turns out...you are the one chosen by that woman. No wonder its so interesting. Dont worry, we will meet again soon! When the [Observer] was about to leave, Xia En suddenly spoke. [Observer], do you remember a siren named Diana? Hearing this name, [Observer]''s expression suddenly became uncertain, and he murmured. What a familiar name He is...a person who cannot be forgotten! But why cant I remember him? Whywhy ?In the process of trying to remember, the garbled code around [the observer] is like a blowout, and the chaotic light and shadow jump and flow wantonly, and the trend is becoming more and more intense. Such anomalies have obviously attracted the attention of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. At the next moment. A vast and majestic consciousness has arrived. Soon, a ray of light lit up in front of Xia En''s eyes, drowning everything around him. Before being overwhelmed by the light, Shane saw Augustine smiling and waving to him. At this moment, he seemed to be no longer a pirate king, but just a kind elder saying goodbye to his descendants. He said softly: "The future will be left to you." Subsequently, curtains of light quickly fell, which was the settlement page of Xia Ens promotion ritual. Necessary tasks completed perfectly!

New talent [Swallow Evolution! The moment after the light curtain appears. The familiar and turbulent wave of secret power came again, washing away Xia En''s body and soul. In an instant, Xia En''s perception of the surrounding mysterious power became much clearer, and every cell, every muscle, and every secret power in his body was cheering for joy. ?It seems that every time I breathe, I can absorb the secret power around me. It also caused all the vitality in his body to burst out, pushing this body to transform in a more powerful direction. But it is different from the previous promotions. ?This time, Xia En noticed that the wave was not only coming toward him, but also rushing away in other directions in the light. It is not difficult to guess that they are other mystical practitioners who survived the ritual. but ?Xia En clearly felt that the wave rushing towards him was particularly solid and surging. This gift is almost more abundant than that of all the other Mystic Pathgoers combined. Shaan En understood something in his heart. ?This should be the benefit of getting a very high rating. The secret wayfarers with higher evaluations should receive more gifts from the [Secret Sea] than those with lower evaluations. ?Perhaps, this is also the reason why Xia Ens trial tasks were much more difficult than those of ordinary Mystics before. Soon, new changes occurred. Gradually, Xia En vaguely sensed an extremely vast, majestic and ancient will from this wave. ?Just touching a corner of Him makes people think of the vastness of the universe and the bottomless abyss. This is...[The Will of the Secret Sea]? Xia En was thoughtful. ?This group of will does not have any actual form, but will show different images in the eyes of different people. And in Xia Ens perception ?At first glance, He looks like an endless ocean wave, with mountains upon mountains and never ending. Immediately, He transformed into a giant dragon-like snake with dark blue scales. ?His body is covered with colorful wings, which are inexplicably similar to the "Yinglong" in Xia En''s impression. Soon, the giant snake disappeared and was replaced by a cold round stone pillar. The stone pillars are clinging to dark thorns, and patterns like totems are drawn on them. Then, the totem pillar turned into an old man riding a starry horse and holding a spear that shone like stars. ?His cloak is blue, and his whole body is shining with light like a star. In other words, He is the star itself! On His face, there was only one single eye. At this time, the one-eyed old man looked at Xia En. ?Seemingly getting some satisfactory answer, he laughed loudly, and then threw the spear in his hand - It penetrated Xia En''s body in an instant. ?At the same time, deep in Xia En''s mind, an eye made of faint blue lines suddenly opened. Soon, everything in front of me shattered like a dream. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! Comprehensive quality: 3.44.5!

The above effects can be synchronized with "Projection Body", and have a 10 times bonus to deep sea creatures. After reading these words, Xia En''s eyes couldn''t help but reveal a hint of joy. It is indeed a ritual to advance to the fourth level! The comprehensive quality improvement of 1.1 is a huge leap forward, surpassing any previous promotion. The two exclusive talents of [Devourer of the Deep] made Xia En feel a little weird. The previous [Deep Sea Body], simply put, gives Xia En''s body the ability to move in the deep sea. Under the deep sea, it has always been a restricted area for humans. Since ancient times, only a handful of mystics have been able to dive and explore. In this era, unlocking such talents is undoubtedly a great help to ordinary mystics. But for Xia En, the meaning of [Deep Sea Body] is not that great. He could have used [Deep Sea Diving] to explore the deep sea without worrying about the life and death of [Projected Body]. The worst case scenario is to reopen it! Under normal circumstances, there is basically no need for Xia En to risk his body in the sea. But to say it is useless, [Deep Sea Body] seems to be somewhat useful. It can help [Projection Body] reduce the impact of the deep sea environment, and can also draw secret power from the sea water. It is equivalent to a small version enhancement of [Projection Body] again. ??Moreover, if necessary, Xia En''s body can also go to the sea and fight side by side with the [Projection Body] to achieve justice in a two-on-one fight. It can only be said to be useful, but not that useful. Seems a bit tasteless. ?But suddenly, a bold idea came to Xia En''s mind. "[Ship Soul Synchronization] can synchronize my talent to the ship." What would happen if [Black Swan] or [Diamond Star] were given the talent of [Deep Sea Body]? ?Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly became energetic. ?Looking at the talent of [Deep Sea Body], it has become much more pleasing to the eye. ?However, what Xia En really values ????is actually the second exclusive talent [Swallowing Evolution]! The name of this talent is simple and crude. The effect is clear at a glance devour, then evolve! This is obviously also the core talent of the [Deep Sea Devourer] profession. The first effect is [Gluttony], which has certain side effects, making his food intake greatly increase and making it difficult to satisfy him. But its positive effects can completely make people ignore this side effect. ?Think about the sea monsters in the deep sea, such as giant octopuses, giant crabs, and giant whales. Which one is not a huge existence? ?Only with a large enough appetite can one eat all these sea monsters. Gulu Just thinking about those sea monsters, Xia En couldn''t help but swallow his saliva, and a strong sense of hunger arose in his belly. Apparently, this talent has begun to take its toll on him. So, after hunting sea monsters in the future, not only can you extract [Secret Sea Crystal] to gain talents, but you can also extract it again with [Swallowing Evolution]? There really isnt even a bit of scum left Isnt this more capitalist than capitalist? ?Xia En complained secretly. Another advantage of this talent is that it works simultaneously on [Projection Body]. ? also means ??If he encounters some prey that cannot be taken away in the future, Xia En can use [Projection Body] to eat them clean directly under the sea. Diligence, frugality and no waste have always been a good virtue! "It''s just that...looking at the nature of this profession, it seems to encourage me to take the initiative to devour the big guys in the deep sea?" [The Will of the Secret Sea] does this, does it have any other purpose? While Xia En was thinking silently. Several more lines of prompts appeared. Since you received an "unprecedented" rating in this trial, you can take away three additional pieces of loot from the following items. 1. Dusk Black Pearl 2.Pirate Crown (Broken) 3.1000 ancient gold coins (worth approximately 2000 gold dragon coins) 4.The Great Axe of the King of the West (weakened version) 5. Wind Queens Spell Book (Level 4) 6.Benjamins Space Ring (abridged version) 7. Sea Beast Heart in Pirate Treasure House (Level 5) 8. Tiffany''s intimate clothing (full set) 9. The wreckage of Wanchua Island (three cubic meters) "ah?" ?Xia En was stunned for a moment. Although he had learned from Huiyun before that some of the props in the ritual could be taken out. But he didnt know that the [unprecedented] evaluation could actually take away three items! Twilight Black PearlDon''t even think about it, Xia En will definitely take it away. Even if it can no longer be used, it can definitely bring a lot of improvement to the crew on the ship. Whether it is to improve their combat power at critical moments or to help them feel the status after promotion, it is excellent. The remaining seven trophies made Xia En look quite strange. One by one, they are either broken, weakened or deleted. What does this mean? Just after this question popped up in his mind, a few lines of text appeared. This promotion ritual is not real history. The loot produced is limited by the Mystic''s current level, and there are certain differences from the original version. Everything is subject to the actual product, please understand. Xia En was stunned. He just thought about it casually. How could he really get a reply from [Secret Sea]? And look at the tone... Its quite polite! ??Xia En remembers that in Augustine''s words, "The Will of the Secret Sea" is an absolutely cold existence, like that kind of artificial intelligence. But now it seems that this is not the case? The one-eyed old mans laughter just now seemed to prove this point from the side. ? At this moment, Xia En had new guesses about the images that just appeared - They are most likely the images that people regard as [The Will of the Secret Sea] at different times. It can be said that it is peoples cognition that creates the image of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. Is it because of the existence of the [Eye of the Secret Sea] that He treats me differently? Xia En calmed down his thoughts and focused on these lines of explanation again, nodding silently in his heart. ?After all, this is just a promotion ritual to break through to the fourth level. ???If you bring out a piece of loot casually, it is a seventh-level or eighth-level loot. Even not many secretists will choose to brush this copy repeatedly to obtain the maximum benefit. Having such a super-standard secret treasure as [Twilight Black Pearl] is already an exaggeration. Other trophies have generally been weakened to a certain extent, which is reasonable. When he saw options 8 and 9, Xia En couldn''t hold himself any longer. Option 9 can only be said to be somewhat commemorative. Option 8 actually reminded Shane of the experience of getting some strange trophies during [Deep Sea Diving]. ?So it seems that [Secret Sea Will] doesnt like [Truth Society] very much? After thinking for a moment, Xia En first locked on the [Pirate Crown] as the second trophy. ?Judging from how he felt after putting on the crown, its not difficult to guess ?This royal crown is not just a decoration, but also an extraordinary relic that may have some unique functions. As for the last trophy, Xia En was a little confused. The options in the middle all seem to be good, and except for ancient gold coins, they can all be quickly converted into timely combat power. ?What Xia En is particularly concerned about is actually [Benjamins space ring]. ?This thing feels like a blind box. ??It is possible to get good things, but it is also possible to get nothing from a bamboo basket. After a brief hesitation, Xia En remembered another thing and asked in his heart. Theoretically, [Sky Serpent] can be considered an item. Can I take it with me? Hearing this question, the will in the dark paused. Can''t. This "Sky Serpent" is not a real ship, it is just a projection in history. [Its ship soul is just a simulated personality. Bringing it into reality, there will be unpredictable distortions. ?Xia En sighed, not actually surprised. Since the ship spirit of the "Sky Serpent" has sprouted, it means that, to a certain extent, it is already a living creature. ??The difficulty for Xia En to take it away is no different from taking away a living NPC. ?Xia En didnt have much hope at first, he just wanted to take advantage of [Secret Sea Will] to talk and consult. ?However, just when he was about to choose the spoils of war. Although you cannot take away the "Serpentis", you can take away one of its components. This component will contain its memory of this trial ritual. Perhaps, this memory will take root one day. It''s just that taking away the components requires a share of the loot. Are you sure you want to do this? Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up without any hesitation. Im sure! Even though it took only a short time for Xia En and the Sky Serpent to come up with it, he already regarded this ship as his partner! As long as there is still a chance, Xia En doesn''t want to give it up. Furthermore, Xia En has already made a lot of money after being promoted to Rigai. He felt it was not a loss to use these castrated props in exchange for a chance to see the [Sky Serpent] again in the future! ?After hearing Xia En''s reply, an invisible force wiped across the previous panel, and new options appeared out of thin air. 10.The rudder of the "Sky Serpent" The next moment. ?Shane opened his eyes. ??The sky full of yellow sand [Sand Island] came into his sight again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 208 【Pirate Crown】【Augustine】and【Observer】 Chapter 208 [Pirate Crown] [Augustine] and [Observer] Sand Islandis still as desolate and solemn as before. The yellow sand is long and the wind is as sharp as a blade. Even the terrible sandstorm raging in the desert has not dissipated. It''s just that Xia En''s current state is completely different from before he escaped into the sandstorm. ?Unimaginable abundant power is running through his body. The aftertaste of [Secret Sea]''s gift has not dissipated, healing Xia En''s injuries caused by the sandstorm, and making the regenerated body stronger and stronger. ??The wind and sand that could easily cut his skin and were no less powerful than a steel knife fell on his body, just like scratching an itch, and could no longer cause any harm. In the sandstorm, Xia En took out a long breath and said with emotion: "I''m finally back." To be honest, the promotion ritual didnt take too long, only nearly three days in total. ? Converted to real-world time, its not even a minuteno matter how many times you experience it, this sense of difference in time flow is very strange. ?However, the ups and downs and thrills of this ritual are among the best that Xia En has experienced since traveling through time. ?Especially the conversation with Augustine and the process of deducing the secret technique through [Twilight Black Pearl] left a very deep impression on him. So much so that when I return to [Sand Island] now, I feel like I am in another world. ?Xia En calmed down and took a closer look at his condition. Not only was his body transformed again, he clearly felt that the secret power he could control, both in terms of quality and total quantity, had improved a lot compared to before. ??If we say that at the third level, the secret power that Xia En can call upon is a stream. ?So now, the stream has turned into a lake! What surprised Xia En the most was not these changes. But he discovered... My control over my physical body and mystical power has become more and more nuanced. If I want to use any strength, I will only use one point, no more, no less. ?This kind of control ability does not sound very useful, but in real battles, it can increase combat power by several levels. Reduce consumption, enhance the precision and hit rate of secret techniques... Perhaps, this huge improvement in overall quality is related to these factors. It turns out that this is the real fourth level. Xia En lowered his head, looked at his hands, and realized something in his mind: "At the fourth level, you begin to have meticulous control of the secret power." Only in this way can the mystics own domain be built at the fifth level. It seems that there is still a big difference between pirated copies and genuine copies. After using [Twilight Black Pearl], Xia En temporarily gained the fourth level of secret power. ?However, this power is obviously a bit flimsy and unstable, and is not as solid and powerful as Xia En''s fourth level at this time. Obviously, this is the difference between relying on external things and advancing on your own feet. When it comes to [Twilight Black Pearl], we have to mention one of the biggest gains from Seans ritual Great Dark Sky! ?This domain-based secret technique breaks the limitations of ordinary mystics, allowing Xia En to activate the power of the domain at the fourth level. ?This is also thanks to the [Book of Shadows] and his [Sword of Judgment]. ?It was based on the prototype of the field of [Judgment] that Xia En was able to deduce the secret technique of [Great Dark Sky]. All existences in the field will turn into Xia En''s help. Even the enemys secret power is no exception. ?Xia Ens original talents such as [Shadow Walking], [Super Speed ??Regeneration] and [Blood Power] will also receive great bonuses in the field. The fourth level is an important step for those on the secret path to become strong. ?Then, the fifth-order realm is a huge watershed. Therefore, in the Seven Seas, there are still rumors of Tier 3 Mysterians forcibly defeating Tier 4 Mysterians, but when Tier 4 Mysterians challenge Tier 5, they will basically end up losing. But I already have a realm at the fourth level...so how should I calculate it? Xia En raised the corner of his mouth, quite curious about his current combat power. ??If he were allowed to fight against his pre-promotion self, I''m afraid ten of him would not be his current opponent. This is the power of the field! ?Let his thoughts wander for a while, Xia En stretched out his hand, and the three trophies of the promotion ritual appeared in his hand one after another. Twilight Black PearlNeedless to say. What makes Xia En curious is the effect of this [Pirate Crown]. Pirate Crown (Broken) Quality: Epic Type: Relic Description: The royal crown created when the pirate principality was founded, carries part of Augustine''s majesty. Although it is broken, it still has some magical effects and is also a symbol of status. When wearing this royal crown, it will bring a certain degree of suppression to the secret travelers who are pirates. You can also roughly perceive the emotions and thoughts of pirates within a certain range nearby. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight! Can it bring pressure and be able to sense emotions and thoughts? Xia En touched his chin. These two effects are pretty good. ?Especially at sea, most of the enemies Xia En encountered were pirates. It would be great if they could be suppressed before the war started. The second ability is to collect intelligence at critical moments. The only problem is ?Xia En glanced at the crown with a slightly strange expression. No matter how you look at it, wearing it is a bit too conspicuous. Which normal person would wear a crown anytime and anywhere? I remember that in Lailas magic book, there seemed to be a spell similar to blindness? Xia En thought to himself: "Maybe we can let Joey try to disguise the crown." ??The last trophy that appeared in front of him was a wooden rudder, brown and black in color, classical in style, with some rough scratches on it. It is the steering wheel of the "Sky Serpent". Shanes hand gently touched the steering wheel. I dont know if it was his imagination, but the rudder of the ship was trembling slightly, as if in response to his touch. Soon, Xia En solemnly put it into the space ring. ?Although the hope is slim, Xia En still hopes that the [Sky Serpent] can one day wake up again. At this time, the sandstorm was still very big and it was difficult to identify the direction. Xia En simply sat down, silently absorbing the secret power of the sandstorm, and waiting for the sandstorm to subside. At the moment when the promotion ritual ends. Or many, many years ago. The deepest room of [Principal Treasure House]. ?The fire was beating in the fireplace, and the gramophone was playing his favorite songs for the owner. ?And the old man, who was a late hero, was curled up in his seat, as if he was half asleep. The next moment. A vast will came, and it also brought him a memory. He saw this room, saw the excited young man, and saw himself wearing the crown for him.?????Is this what it is? The old man opened his eyes and murmured. Existing in the past, future, and present at the same time...This is the real [secret sea]. But even so, do you still want me to believe in the possibility of the future? For a future that I can never see? What a cruel fate At this point, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the old man''s mouth, and the high-spirited self-confidence temporarily returned to him. But, so what? I am Augustine! ?The old man stood up, opened the door with a sudden stride, and walked out of the room. ?Although the old man''s war has failed, he still has unfinished missions in this era. An unknown island. ?The [Observer] wearing a single-sided spectacles seemed to have passed through an invisible door, stepped out, and landed on the ground of the island. As for "Tiffany" beside him, her appearance changed rapidly the moment she walked through the door, turning into a female researcher who was only 30% similar to Tiffany. [Observer] G09, are you okay? The female researcher looked at the [Observer] beside her and asked without any change in her expression. ?Her words seemed to be concerned, but there was no emotion in her tone, like an absolutely calm robot. The man in the white coat known as "[Observer] G09" frowned and murmured. DianaDianaDiana Who is she? Why cant I remember her? ??The more the man muttered to himself, the more painful and tangled the expression on his face became, and gradually, his expression took on a hint of madness and despair. It was like...the name itself was enough to drive him crazy. ?The female researcher still had no expression on her face, but coldly ordered: "[Observer] G09, recite the name of truth!" Hearing this, the man''s body stiffened suddenly, and then he spoke. Truth, I already know it! ?In the process of reading this sentence, the expression in the white coat quickly changed from crazy to calm, like a state of absolute rationality. ?This change is like going from one extreme to another. From a lava volcano that is about to boil, it has turned into an eternal ice of thousands of years. The man said coldly: "The abnormal memory has been deleted...the personality of [Observer] has been restored..." His tone when he said this was the same as that of the female researcher. Hoo! Immediately, [Observer] exhaled sharply, and his expression returned to its original state. He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What happened just now? Why was the self-protection mechanism suddenly triggered?" ?The female researcher said honestly: "We just escaped from a fourth-level promotion ritual in the [Secret Sea], and we may be facing the impact of [The Will of the Secret Sea]." "I see." Observerhad no doubt and nodded. The reaction speed of [Secret Sea Will] is 56% faster than last time. It seems that he is also constantly evolving in this regard. Fortunately, this time we did not return without success. ?He stretched out his hand, took out a blue light group, and said with a smile: "Counting the data I submitted, how far is [Augustine]''s collection progress?" Female researcher replied: 32.1% Observer''s eyes lit up: "Is it already over 30%?" So, can the plan be put into effect? ?The female researcher did not answer his question, but just said: "I can use the anchor point [Tiffany] up to 5 times." Five times? Thats not enough Observer sighed: "Her bloodline has been diluted too severely. You are already the highest among your generation, but the result is still limited." In fact. In real history, Tiffany was a member of the Truth Society, but she was not a traitor among the apostles. Its just that the [Truth Society] used special secret techniques and used descendants with Tiffanys blood as a medium to lock the anchor point of [Tiffany] for the [Observer], and then sneaked into the ritual. As for the origin of these Tiffany blood descendants, that is another story. At this time, the [Observer] secretly said to himself: "Is this really all that happened just now?" Why, I seem to remember a name ?He touched his chest, which felt inexplicably empty. Sand Island ?The strong wind gradually calmed down, and the yellow sand all over the sky began to fall. A thin layer of secret power barrier blocked the sand that fell on Xia En. This was not a secret technique, but the most basic control of the secret power. ??If it were Xia En who was before the fourth level, he might still need to concentrate and concentrate to do it. But now, this little trick can be easily done with just a little thought. Xia En casually dispersed the yellow sand around him and turned to look around. After the baptism of the sandstorm, all traces nearby were buried by the yellow sand. Xia En also had no way of knowing the direction from which he came. ?However, while waiting just now, he also sorted out his next three goals- Ann and Tracey. The Twilight of the Blood Tribe! Norwich Treasures! First of all, finding the two crew members who were separated from him is obviously a top priority. Secondly, before being promoted, Xia En was chased by Twilight all the way. ??Had he not happened to be helped by the natives of [Sand Island], there is no telling whether he would have been able to break into the sandstorm and escape! Xia En can''t bear it if this revenge is not avenged. Of course, Xia En doesnt think that after breaking through to the fourth level, he will be invincible and able to defeat that powerful vampire whose specific level is unknown. But under the special environment of this [Island of Sand], and with the blessings he received after being promoted to the fourth level, he did have the strength to fight. Not to mention defeating Twilight, there is always no problem in stumbling her secretly. As for the "Norwich Treasure", Shane really has a casual attitude. Everyone has come. ?The best you can get, even if you cant get it, you cant let Twilight get it! ?Moreover, Xia En thought about it carefully. ?Some time ago, he just witnessed Augustine in his youth, and visited the treasure house of the [Pirate Principality] in the promotion ritual. Now it is the [Norwich Treasure]... Are these three really just coincidences? Or is this a guide of fate? In any case, it is definitely true that this treasure is destined to him. The best way to know where the treasure is is to have some contact with the natives of [Sand Island]. After determining the priority of the matter, Shane stood up and prepared to find the separated An and Tracy based on his secret perception of the crew. However, as soon as he took two steps, Xia En''s expression changed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 209 【Saint of Sand】 Chapter 209 [Saint of Sand] Gululu As soon as Xia En took a few steps in the desert, a strong sense of hunger rose from his abdomen, almost swallowing up his sanity. ?Under the influence of hunger, the surrounding sand seems to have turned into some kind of delicacy, which has a strong attraction. Is this a side effect of [devouring evolution]? Xia En had a clear understanding in his heart. ?This hungry instinct may become the driving force for him to continue hunting deep-sea creatures. ?But now, Xia En can only take out some reserved dry food from the space ring and eat it wholeheartedly. ?As soon as he ate it, he realized the seriousness of the problem. ??After eating all the dry food, I was not even 10% full. ?His intestines and stomach seemed to have become a bottomless pit. No matter how much food he put in, there was no response. On the contrary, the hunger became more intense. Hiss... [Gluttony], so this is what it feels like? Xia En suddenly understood the feeling of getting on the steam turbine of the Black Swan and murmured to himself. From now on, be nicer to Xiaozhan In fact, there are many common ingredients in Xia Ens space ring, such as dried meat and dried fish. Most of the prey caught previously were placed in Fei Yas space ring. ?And a deep intuition told Xia En that what he wanted to eat now was stronger and more fresh meat! Shashashasha ?At this moment, a strange sound came from the desert not far away. Xia En turned around and looked. I saw the tall sand dune, as if it suddenly came to life, undulating and flowing like water. ?Seeing this strange scene, Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed, his eyes brightened. The preyhas found you! Relying on the talent of [Blood Power] and some strange instinct, he noticed that there was an extremely vigorous creature hiding under the sand dunes. The next moment. Sha En''s body was like an arrow leaving the string, heading straight for the sand dunes. ?At the same time, a **** sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed down with the sword! Boom! ?The wind howled, and the terrible air waves spread together with the yellow sand. The overall quality of 4.5 just after promotion is fully reflected in this sword. With just one strike of the sword, this tall sand dune was completely blown away, leaving only a gully tens of meters long. ?However, the prey hidden under the sand dunes disappeared, and only a few dark red blood stains remained in place. Hmph, he ran pretty fast. Xia En said, feeling the growing hunger in his belly. Today, I will defeat you! Somewhere in the desert. ??A girl in a yellow robe stood up from the sand, shook her body, and shook off the sand on her yellow robe. ?However, just such a simple action made the girl''s face turn pale. The cause was two gunshot wounds to her shoulder and lower abdomen. The secret power of the Vampire clan remained in the wound, constantly destroying her body. Before the sandstorm came, although she successfully injured the powerful outsider, she also attracted the other party''s revenge. ?That guy actually took the risk of being seriously injured and took action in the sandstorm, shooting himself twice. What a crazy woman! The girl cursed secretly: "Don''t let me meet you again, or I will shoot out your eyeballs!" Soon, another female native walked up to her and asked with concern. Saintess, are you okay? It can be heard that the language they use is still lingua franca, but the intonation and pronunciation are somewhat different from the current mainland lingua franca. ? ? is closer to the continental lingua franca of ancient times. The girl shook her head: "I''m fine." How are the others? The female native looked around and said: "Most of the people were lost in the sandstorm, and only three of us are still following you." Not long after, the remaining two natives came to the girl''s side, waiting for her next order. No matter what, lets go back to the tribe first. After thinking about it, the saint said: "With the guidance of the Lord of Radiance, they will find their way home." None of the three natives had any objections. However, just as they were about to leave, the female native''s expression changed slightly and she looked in a direction behind her. A strong vibration was coming from there. ?The sand in the desert surges like a wave, the sand dunes on the surface continue to squirm and deform, and streaks of smoke rise into the sky. Damn it, its a giant sandworm! Seeing this, the girl also changed her expression: "But at this time..." ??The giant sandworm is a special alienated creature in [Island of Sand], with a huge size, a powerful body, and a ferocious temperament. ?It is covered with a layer of hard armor, and can sneak into the sand sea at will and launch sneak attacks from under the desert. Even for the natives of [Sand Island], the giant sandworm is a very difficult enemy. Every year, many indigenous people die from the mouths of giant sandworms. In normal times, girls may not be afraid of it. But now, several companions were scattered, and she herself was seriously injured, so she could not use her best bow skills. Facing the giant sandworm, I''m afraid it will be a disaster! The three natives around her quickly realized the urgency of the situation, and the female native immediately said: "Holy Lady, you go first!" Were here to wean you off! The girl bit her lip and said with determination, "No!" We, the Yongyue clan, have never had a precedent of a saint abandoning her fellow clan members and running away. As she spoke, she pulled out the dark yellow long bow from the mark on her chest, preparing to face the rolling yellow sand coming in this direction. The eyes of the three natives were moved. They said nothing more and just silently guarded the girl. As the giant sandworm moved, a small sandstorm swept over. Not only that, the desert beneath the four people''s feet seemed to have turned into a quicksand whirlpool, pulling them down towards the center of the whirlpool. Ordinary people cannot stand firmly on this kind of ground and will be swallowed up by quicksand in an instant. The four of them are residents of the [Sand Island] after all. They have long adapted to the desert environment, so naturally they will not be panicked by this. The girl opened her eyes wide, trying to find the figure of the giant sandworm in the yellow sand. In her current state, she can only shoot one more arrow at most. She must kill this sandworm with this arrow! At this time. The quicksand beneath his feet suddenly spurted upward, and an extremely ugly head emerged from under the desert. Rather than a "head", it is more like the end of several large split mouths, like a blooming flower of flesh and blood, filled with densely packed sharp teeth. ?The brain, eyes, nose, ears...these organs simply do not exist in this ugly sandworm. In an instant, the girl opened her eyes wide, drew her long bow, and was about to shoot into the mouthparts of the sandworm. The three natives also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, preparing to block the sandworm''s mouth with their bodies. What the four of them didnt expect was. ??The giant sandworm had no desire to attack them. It just took a deep breath and then plunged into the quicksand. Until the sandworm''s body was completely submerged in the desert, several natives were still in a daze. ??Macrophago sandworms are cruel and extremely aggressive. Seeing a group of them alone, there is no reason not to launch an attack? Whats going on? The female native looked confused and asked, "Doesn''t this sandworm dislike us?" Another native guessed: "Is it coming out of the desert just to get air?" ??The girl recalled the actions of the sandworm, feeling a bit hasty and panicked for no reason, and couldn''t help but murmured: "Why do I feel...it seems to be running away?" Is there something chasing it? The female native''s heart skipped a beat. ?This giant sandworm alone is already an enemy they cannot deal with. What kind of existence can make the sandworm flee in panic? The girl breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, we are safe, for now..." Before she could finish her words, suddenly, another gust of wind howled past them. Why is it coming again! Hasnt the sandstorm subsided yet? The girl turned her head and was about to protect her body with her yellow robe, but her pupils suddenly narrowed.?????Because she saw ?In the center of the sandstorm caused by the strong wind, there was a figure, running towards him at an extremely fast speed. In other words, it was the arrival of that person that caused this sandstorm! How is it possible? It''s just that the man in the sandstorm didn''t notice the existence of these four people at this time. All he could see was the plump and attractive sandworm. ?This strong wind comes and goes away just as quickly. ?The four people in the group saw that the strong wind was heading straight towards the sandworm. ?And very quickly, a **** sword light instantly spanned a hundred meters and fell directly into the desert. The entire desert seemed to have become quiet because of this sword. Immediately afterwards, the sand sea began to shake - it was the giant sandworms struggling desperately underground. ?A large amount of yellow sand was thrown into the air and fell down in a swirl. ??The unlucky group of four happened to be within the range of this yellow sand, so naturally they couldn''t escape. Not long. The girl crawled out of the sand with difficulty and took two quick "poohs". In the situation just now, even she couldn''t help but eat several mouthfuls of sand. The girl rubbed her shoulder. The wound seemed to hurt a little more, and she couldn''t help but muttered. Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky My luck today seems to be really not very good. Just as she was muttering in a low voice, she suddenly smelled a unique smell of meat and couldn''t help but swallow lightly. ?She went out in a hurry today and hadn''t had a full lunch yet. ?The girl looked in the direction of the scent, but couldn''t help being stunned. Only seen in the lee of the sand dunes not far away. A man was sitting by a campfire, on which a grill had been set up. There is a large ball of milky white meat on the grill. As it is constantly turned and grilled, the meat is fragrant and gradually takes on a golden color. What really surprised the girl was that next to the man, there was a fat sandworm corpse. It is the giant sandworm that was raging before! Is it him? After seeing the other persons face, the girl thought for a moment and quickly remembered the young mans identity. ??Isn''t this the outsider who was chased by that crazy woman? But he didnt seem so strong before? Are you hiding your strength? The girl guessed in her heart: "The adults in the clan have said that outsiders are very insidious and cunning, good at hiding their own strength, and full of bad intentions." Thats right, this guy should be that kind of person! ?Thinking of this, the girl looked at the young man with alert eyes. Inexplicably, another thought flashed through her mind But this guy is pretty good-looking ??Bah, bah, bah! Whats the use of looking good! After all, he is just a despicable outsider! While the girl''s thoughts were rising and falling, the three natives who followed her also crawled out of the sand. Soon, they also spotted the young man enjoying the feast beside the sand dune, and couldn''t help but look wary. The female native approached the girl''s ear and asked softly: "Holy Lady, what should we do now?" Do you want to take action? The girl shook her head: "We are not his opponent." Even the giant sand-devouring sandworm will die without any suspense. With their current combat power, they will die if they attack. The female native asked again: "Then...do you want to escape?" The girl''s face was a little bitter. When dealing with sandworms earlier, the man did not pay attention to them. But now, she clearly felt that the young man''s eyes fell on them from time to time, and he had obviously discovered them. In this desert without any obstacles, once you escape, it is only a matter of time before you are caught. Can''t fight but can''t fight, can''t escape but can''t escape. ?This is the reason why the girl is in trouble. After hesitating for a moment, the girl gritted her teeth and said, "Let''s go directly and ask him what he wants!" At least I helped him just now, but at worst Ill have to fight him. The three of them wanted to persuade, but they couldn''t think of any better way for a while, so they could only follow the girl towards the young man. However, the closer they got to the young man, the stronger the smell of meat became, and it also carried a strange fragrance that they had never smelled before. ?The girl suppressed her greed and asked with a straight face: "Hey, outsider over there, you..." ?Shaan held up a bunch of fragrant roasted sandworm meat and asked, "Want to eat it?" "ah?" The girl was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" You want to use it to bribe me? I, Sha Jingjing, cant just use a skewer of barbecue... Gulu The sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis coming from the girl''s belly interrupted her vowed words. Even though most of her face was covered by the robe, the slightly red skin on her neck still showed her uneasy mood. Ahem. ?Xia En coughed twice and said calmly. You really dont want to eat it? Think of it as my repayment of your kindness with that arrow. With his current perception, he naturally heard the conversation between Sha Jingjing and the other natives, and also recognized the identity of the other party. In the mouth of the vampire Twilight, it seems to be called Saint of the Sand! ? Such an opportunity to establish good relations with the indigenous people, of course, Xia En would not miss it. ?This is how this conversation took place. Hmph, dont underestimate me! You outsiders are so cunning and insidious that you must have poisoned this barbecue! Sha Jingjing said with dignity: "Even if I, Sha Jingjing, starve to death, I will not eat anything from you!" Xia En sighed: "Oh, that''s a pity, these spices are all good things." Let alone the [Island of Sand], you cant even buy it from the islands under the general federal government. Speaking, Xia En started to eat happily. Spice? What is that? Sha Jingjing smelled the pleasant fragrance and couldn''t help but ask the people next to her. The female native next to him replied in a low voice: "It is said to be something that makes food taste better. It seems to be more valuable than gold outside the island!" "Saint, this guy doesn''t seem to have been poisoned..." Sand crystals and brain melon seeds turn around. ??If the outsider wanted to kill her, he wouldn''t be able to escape anyway. If he ate an extra piece of barbecue before dying, wouldn''t he have made money for himself? ??If an outsider doesn''t want to kill her and eats a few pieces of barbecue for free, isn''t it just for herself? ?After thinking about this clearly, the girl''s thinking suddenly became more open-minded. ?She stretched out her hand and said generously: "Give me a bunch!" After a while. Sha Jingjing was holding a piece of barbecue, her mouth was full of oil as she ate it, like a little tabby cat. Hmm, it smells so good! ?However, Xia Ens attention fell on Sha Jingjings head, which had taken off its hood. ?There, a pair of furry dog ??ears stood erect, as if they were always listening to the goings-on around them. The true identity of this [Sand Saint] is actually a demi-human! ? Not only that, the three natives next to him also have similar characteristics. At this moment, Sha Jingjing said: "Don''t get me wrong, we are not the sub-humans you outsiders call us." But the noble Moon-Yong clan! (End of this chapter) Chapter 210 【Yueyue Clan】 Chapter 210 [Yueyong Clan] Yongyue Clan? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment when he heard this unfamiliar name. ?Nowadays, he is no longer the short-sighted foreigner he was at the beginning of the time travel. He is already familiar with many rumors about the Seven Seas. ??But after searching all the memories, Xia En could not find any information related to the [Yongyue Clan]. Could it be said that this race specifically refers to the indigenous people on [Sand Island]? Xia En guessed in his mind while continuing to observe Sha Jingjing and the three natives. Its not difficult to see. ??If the [Yingyue Tribe] is a type of demi-human, then it is probably more likely to have the blood of canines such as wolves and dogs. Hunter ears, slightly thicker hair on the cheeks, and a tail behind the back. Although the tail is obscured by the yellow robe, when Sha Jingjing eats meat, it is obvious that the robe is held up and then swung from side to side. on the other hand. The hair color of the three indigenous people tends to be brown or gray-black. ?Sand Jingjings hair is light silver, giving people a noble and pure feeling. ?Perhaps, this is the reason why Sha Jingjing became the [Sand Saint]. ?However, observation is observation, and Xia En has not forgotten his most important task now - Fill your belly! ?Just after his promotion, he was already very hungry, and he also spent a lot of energy chasing down the giant sandworms. ??The empty stomach and intestines have long been protesting to Xia En. ?So at this time, he didn''t care what Sha Jingjing and others thought, and officially started to feast. ?This kind of giant sandworm looks ugly and ferocious, but it tastes quite good. The meat is plump and sweet, and it has a crispy texture after being roasted. Its a bit like salmon, but also a bit like premium wagyu. ?Just eating it on an empty stomach, it tastes great. Coupled with the seasonings carried in Xia Ens space ring, it is enough to be called delicious! Whats even more valuable is that sandworm meat contains a lot of energy. Ordinary people may eat one or two pieces, but they will be too full to eat anything. ??But considering Xia Ens current appetite, this giant sandworm that is more than ten meters long seems to be nothing? At the beginning, Sha Jingjing secretly wanted to compete with Xia En to see who could eat more. But it didnt take long. ?She was so full that she burped and couldn''t stuff it in even if she wanted to. ?Looking at Xia En, the action of grilling and eating meat was smooth and smooth, without any pause. Sha Jingjing and the four of them almost watched helplessly as the hill-like sandworm meat next to them became smaller and smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slowly but surely entered the outsider''s belly. At the end, Sha Jingjing couldn''t help but stare at Xia En like a monster. She really couldn''t figure out how this man could eat the flesh of a sandworm that was several times larger than himself. ??Moreover, the weirdest thing is that after eating, Xia En''s belly was only slightly bulging, and there were not many traces visible. Where is that much sandworm meat? Where have they all gone? ?However, after witnessing Xia Ens appetite with their own eyes, the eyes of the four of them, Sha Jingjing, towards him also changed subtly. ?In the understanding of the simple indigenous people, food intake is a symbol of strength! Xia Ens appetite is so exaggerated, which means that his strength can only be described as unfathomable. ?Xia En took a long breath and showed a satisfied smile. Finally Im 80% full. At this moment, he truly understood the power of the talent [Swallowing Evolution]. Shaan can clearly feel The abdomen is warm, as if it has turned into a furnace, digesting the food just eaten at an incredible speed, converting the food into energy, and transmitting it to all parts of the body. This energy is subtly transforming Xia En''s body. It is like soaking in a hot spring, indescribably comfortable and comfortable. Comprehensive quality: 4.54.51! Seeing this line of prompts, Xia En''s eyes opened slightly. Even though this increase is only 0.01, you must know that the increase that Xia En received from an extreme cold storm in the past was only 0.1! Now, just eating a big meal can make you stronger! ?It may not be obvious in a short period of time, but over time, the growth will definitely be considerable. Furthermore, the giant sandworm we ate this time was not a marine creature ?The more Xia En thought about it, the more excited he became: "If you hunt sea monsters in the deep sea, there will be a 10 times bonus." At this moment, a few lines of text appeared in his mind. You swallowed the "Macrophagic Sandworm"! Talent "Swallowing Evolution" is activated! You can choose the direction of evolution from the following three talents. 1. Hard Carapace (Normal) (Talent obtained after strengthening "Hardened Skin") 2. Mucus secretion (inferior) 3.Heat resistance (inferior) "Um?" ??Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Is this the second effect of [Swallowing Evolution]?" ?From this point of view, there is still a big difference between the talent of [Swallowing Evolution] and the way of acquiring abilities by absorbing [Secret Sea Crystal]. The biggest difference is that [Swallowing Evolution] can independently choose the direction of evolution. ??Moreover, judging from option 1, it seems that it can also be upgraded and transformed based on the old talent. ?Talents such as [Hardened Epidermis] are among the first abilities that Xia En acquired. Just because the effect is very tasteless, the sense of presence is always very low. After thinking for a moment, Xia En quickly chose the third talent. Heat resistance ?With his current physique, a layer of carapace randomly generated may not be as tough as his skin. Option 2 is useless no matter how you look at it. ??Moreover, these two talents seem to bring about some inhuman changes to one''s body... After weighing the pros and cons, Xia En had no choice but to choose the [Heat Resistance] talent, which might be useful. Not only can it adapt to the special environment of [Sand Island]. Perhaps it can be upgraded again in the future, which will also make it easier to get along with crew member Yan Yan. After thinking about it, Xia En felt that his body seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. A gust of hot wind blew, and it seemed that it was no longer so hot. After doing all this, Xia En turned to look at the four natives and said, "My companions and I were separated in the desert." As the indigenous people of this island, do you have any way to find others in the desert? Although he has certain confidence in An''s strength, anything can happen on this [Sand Island]. Not to mention, there is also Tracy who is stained with some bad luck. It would be best to join them as soon as possible. Sha Jingjing frowned and said, "Yes, yes, but why should I help you?" Shaan pointed to the wooden stick on the ground: "For the sake of these barbecues?" Hearing this, Sha Jingjings face turned slightly red. ??It does seem a bit unkind to eat his barbecue meal for nothing? ?But then I thought about it, these cunning outsiders have killed countless of their own people, and they dont need to talk about morality! Thinking of this, Sha Jingjing suddenly puffed up her chest confidently. Im not that easy to buy! Shaan sighed and said, "What about this?" Speaking, he took out a [Hui Jiao Amulet] and activated it. A gentle and bright light group immediately appeared around him. To be honest, Xia En didnt really want to use the [Hui Jiao Amulet] at first. Not only because of the complex senses I have for the Lord of Radiance, but also because of the encounters during this promotion ritual. During the conversation with Augustine, Sean learned the origin and purpose of [Evil Siming]. That is an alien **** from the [Secret Sea]. ?As far as Xia En knows, this Lord of Billions of Glory is also an alien **** from outside this world! ??And so far, Xia En doesnt know the purpose of the Lord of Billions of Lights extending his touch into this world. He is present in [Coral City]; Blood Moon Secret Realmis connected with Him; Even on the current [Island of Sand], there are still His followers. ?Compared to [Husi Ming] who caused the great flood, the Lord of Billions of Glorys presence is not strong, but he seems to be everywhere. ?Like the sun above your head emitting infinite rays of light. Xia En inevitably felt a little afraid of him in his heart. ?But at this time, using the [Hui Jiao Amulet] is undoubtedly the fastest way to gain the trust of the indigenous people. As expected. The moment she saw this light group, Sha Jingjing''s eyes immediately changed and she murmured. Why is this power... so similar to the Lord of Radiance? resemblance? Xia En''s heart moved. ??In Sha Jingjings opinion, the divine power of Lord Hui is not in this state? At this time, Sha Jingjing stared at Xia En and asked, "Who are you?" Xia En chuckled and said, "My name is Xia En." Who I am is actually not that important, but please believe that I am not your enemy. ?Maybe it was the result of the roasted sandworm meat earlier, or maybe it was the effect of the [Hui Jiao Amulet], Sha Jingjing said after thinking for a while. Well, since you are also a subject of Lord Hui, I can help you find your companions. But you have to tell metheir real names. ??Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What''s your real name?" Since ancient times, names have possessed unique and mysterious power. ?Especially the true name engraved deep in the soul, for some beings, it is more like a "vital gate" and a "vital" thing. But then I thought about it. ?Since he hopes Sha Jingjing can trust him, he must trust the other party first. Do not use the person you doubt, and do not doubt the person you employ. ?Thinking of this, Shane also said directly: "My companion''s name is...Ann Duarte Karloff." "OK." Sha Jingjing nodded and then closed her eyes. Soon, a small silver crescent appeared between her eyebrows. Immediately afterwards, layers of faint silver light emerged from the girl''s body, adding a bit of holy and noble temperament to her. It wasn''t long before Sha Jingjing came out of this mysterious state and looked at Xia En suspiciously. Are you sure thats the name? Or are you saying that you cant trust me and just chose a random name to test me? At least I cant find this person on [Sand Island]. "Um?" Xia En was startled for a moment. ?This was the name An said when he swore allegiance to himself, and of course he would remember it correctly. So now, there are only two possibilities. Either, An encountered some kind of accident, or, this name...is not An''s real name! Xia En prefers the latter in his heart. According to An, he was adopted by an old couple. Perhaps his current name was given at that time. Before that, he should have a real name of his own. ?So, Shane said again: "Where is Tracy?" Try it with the name Tracey. After a moment, Sha Jingjing said: Found it! Follow me. Speaking, Sha Jingjing took Xia En and walked in one direction of the desert. Just as we walked in that direction, Sha Jingjings expression became weirder. ??The natives behind her couldn''t help but whisper: "Holy Lady, aren''t you heading in the direction of the tribe?" Sha Jingjing was also very confused and lowered her voice: "I know!" "But his companion seems to be in our tribe..." ?Shaan: ??They thought their voices had been kept very low, but they couldn''t hide it from Xia En''s hearing, and he could hear them clearly. ?However, although this information surprised Xia En, he had originally planned to visit the gathering place of the indigenous people, which could be regarded as saving a lot of time. By the time we were about to arrive at the indigenous tribe, it was already getting dark. Similar to other desert environments in the world, [Sand Island] has a huge temperature difference between day and night. ?At this moment, a cold wind blew, enough to make most people shiver. The four of them, Sha Jingjing and others, had already wrapped their robes tightly. Only then did Xia En realize that the robes they wore looked tattered, but in fact they were things that contained extraordinary and mysterious power, as if they had received some kind of blessing or blessing. Obviously, although the lifestyle of the indigenous people is backward, they still found ways to adapt to the harsh environment of the island. The indigenous tribe is located in a valley. On both sides are rocky mountain walls. ?At this distance, Xia En also vaguely noticed the connection with An, and couldn''t help but feel relieved. At this time. Sha Jingjing threw a yellow robe over and said, "Put it on." Our family has always been xenophobic. If I see your face, even if I protect you, you might get into trouble. Xia En knew that she meant well and was not pretentious. He put on his robe directly and followed the girl. Its strange to say. Xia En originally thought that the robe would have a strange smell - after all, in this water-scarce environment, it is difficult to keep oneself clean, and it is normal to have a slight smell of sweat. But surprisingly, the robe was very clean and exuded an indescribable smell. Xia En didnt think much and quickly followed Sha Jingjing and the others into the valley. Its the Holy Lady! The Holy Lady is back! ?Seeing Sha Jingjing taking off her hood, the natives in the tribe immediately smiled, which shows her prestige. A little girl walked up to Sha Jingjing, opened her arms, and said with a smile: "Sister Saint, give me a hug!" Okay! Sha Jingjing hugged the little girl and spun her around several times, making her giggle. At this time, an old man from the Yongyue tribe with gray fur came over. The little girl was frightened when she saw him, and hid behind Sha Jingjing, not daring to show her head. Sha Jingjings expression also became serious, and she said respectfully: High Priest, Im back. Its good that the saint can come back safely. The old man''s cloudy eyes swept behind Sha Jingjing, and he spoke hoarsely. But why do you smell like an outsider on your body? (End of this chapter) Chapter 211 Reunion with An, [Moonlight Boat] Chapter 211 Reunion with An, [Moonlight Boat] As soon as the high priest said these words, the valley suddenly became quiet. Among the indigenous tribes, the authority of the high priest is higher than that of the saint. What he said was obviously not without purpose. The little girl who asked for a hug earlier didnt know why. She looked at Sha Jingjing curiously and asked, Yes, Sister Saint, you seem to have a special smell today. Its weird and fragrant, and it seems to have the smell of meat! This is because the smell of barbecue has not dissipated from Sha Jingjing. ?However, the little girls words did not improve the weird atmosphere in the valley. ??The high priest and several natives still stared at Sha Jingjing and his group with scrutinizing eyes, especially staying on Xia En for a long time. Seeing this, Xia En frowned and planned to show off his cards to the natives. Having this relationship with the Lord of Light, he is not very afraid of the natives of [Sand Island]. And based on the aura shown by the high priest, the other party may not be his opponent. Just at this moment, Sha Jingjing took a step forward and said, "I did encounter a group of outsiders in the desert before." One of them was an extremely dangerous mad woman with long black hair and a bewitching appearance. She killed several of our compatriots and left two gunshot wounds on my body. Speaking, Sha Jingjing pointed to her shoulders and lower abdomen. ?Although the wound there has stopped bleeding, there is still a cold secret power that is still destroying her body. Sister Saint, it turns out you are injured! ?Seeing Sha Jingjings wound, the little girl immediately expressed worry: The injury must be treated quickly. Other natives also made a small uproar. They have great confidence in their own saint, but even she suffered such an injury, which shows how powerful the outsider is. At this time, Xia En noticed... The situation of the indigenous people in the valley is actually not good. Many people had injuries of various sizes. ??Some people had red eyes and looked sad, as if they had just cried. ?Xia En thought about it for a moment and understood the reason behind this situation. As the news of the "Norwich Treasure" spreads across the seven seas, the number of parties going to the "Island of Sand" to hunt for the treasure must be gradually increasing. Coupled with the naturally antagonistic relationship between outsiders and indigenous people. Even if the natives are naturally adapted to the environment of the Sand Island, they will inevitably suffer casualties under the waves of attacks from outsiders. This is why there is such a negative and pessimistic atmosphere. When the others come back, gather all the injured together, and I will hold the [Moon Chanting Ceremony]. Sha Jingjing said to the high priest: "Please help me prepare, high priest." The high priest opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed and said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Holy Lady." Before preparing to turn around and leave, the high priest added. By the way, we also captured a strange prisoner. Its up to the Holy Lady to decide how to deal with him. Hearing this, Sha Jingjing became a little nervous and cautiously glanced at Xia En behind her. She was well aware of her people''s hatred of outsiders. ??Wouldnt the situation be very bad if they had already attacked Xia Ens companions? Thinking of this, Sha Jingjing immediately asked the little girl: "Ayi, where is the prisoner? Take me to see him." Soon, led by the little girl named "Ayi", the group of people arrived at a corner of the valley. A heavy metal armor was sitting there quietly. Sister Saint, its him. Ayi murmured in a low voice: "However, he doesn''t seem to be a bad person. He helped us fight off many outsiders before and saved a few brothers and sisters." Also, he is mute and cannot speak. I dont recognize the writing on the sand either Click! ?After a few people approached, the silent armored weirdo quickly stood up and turned his head to look at Xia En, who was not far away. Such a sudden change shocked Ayi and she quickly hid behind Sha Jingjing. Judging from appearance alone, Ans image is quite intimidating. Sha Jingjing rubbed Ayi''s little head: "You go and stay aside for a while. I have something to say to this guy." Eh? Ayi obviously had many questions to ask, but he was quickly taken away by the three natives. At this moment, Xia En could not help but look at An with surprise. There is no other reason. He clearly felt that An''s aura was stronger than before when they parted. ?If he guessed correctly, this means... An has broken through to the third level and became the second third-level crew member on the [Black Swan]! ??Although this promotion speed is much slower than that of Xia En, among ordinary mystics, it can only be described as "progress by leaps and bounds". Is this a peculiarity of the elfs physique? Or is [Knight''s] secret method working again? ?However, Xia En is more concerned about... An, are you not injured? Also, where is Tracey? Captain Shane, Im here At this time, a weak voice sounded from behind An. I saw a faint green light shining on the armor, and Fairy Tracey floated feebly. She seemed to have used some special spell to temporarily blend into the armor''s surface. ??The reason why she didn''t hide directly in the gap in the armor was obviously because the series of "bad luck" encounters before had left a lot of psychological shadow on Tracy. ?Shane was slightly relieved to see that Tracy was okay. But suddenly, he found that An''s body was shaking slightly, and there seemed to be suppressed sobs coming from under the armor. Xia En''s expression immediately changed: "An, what''s wrong? What happened?" Tracy said next to her: "In order to reduce the burden, An threw away all the cardboard on which he wrote. Let me express what he meant." Hearing this, An''s body suddenly stiffened. But at this time, Tracy had already spoken: "An was thinking just now... that she would never see the captain again." Its great to see the captain safe and sound. Xia En was startled for a moment. He didn''t expect that An would be so excited about this matter. But when I thought about it, it seemed that this was really the first time the two of them had been separated for such a long time after An pledged her allegiance to him. ?Especially when I met Twilight, the situation was indeed more dangerous than ever before. ?However, in Xia En''s impression, An has always been calm and reserved, rarely showing any emotions. ?Now it seems that it was the [Aphasia Curse] and this armor that hindered the expression of his emotions. Hearing these words, An stared at Tracy, her eyes pleading and shook her head. Tracey seemed unaware and continued: "An also wants to say, who is this female aborigine?" "Why does the captain seem to have a good relationship with her? It makes me a little uncomfortable..." Hiss, shouldnt I say this? ?Shaan: ?Sha Jingjing: Xia En glanced at An silently. Although he couldn''t see his expression clearly, he could more or less feel his shame and anger at this time. Looking at that posture, if there was a crack in the ground, An might have gotten through it! ??Xia En was considerate and did not pursue the matter further. He just coughed twice, stopping Tracey from continuing to express her reassurance, and said. This is the [Sand Saint] from [Sand Island], Sand Jingjing. Thanks to her, I was able to find you. Then, Xia En turned to Sha Jingjing and said, "Thank you very much for what happened just now." Sha Jingjing could of course reveal Xia En''s identity in front of the high priest, but she chose to hide it for herself. Just think of it as repaying your favor for those skewers of barbecued meat. Sha Jingjing waved her hand and said openly. But at the same time, her eyes were fixed on the floating Tracy: "By the way, what is this little guy?" Could it be...the legendary goblin? ??Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever heard of goblins?" ?This incident is indeed surprising. Not to mention this desolate island covered with yellow sand, even if it is an island under the federal government, not many residents have heard of goblins. "yes." Sha Jingjing said frankly: "According to the knowledge passed down by the saints of the previous generation, it seems that a long time ago, [Sand Island] was not like this." There are not only forests and grasslands, but also clear rivers. There are many magical animals living on the island, including fairies! ?Shaan was a little surprised. Was the former [Island of Sand] such a vibrant island? But how did it get to its current state? Xia En expressed his doubts by the way, and Sha Jingjing said directly: "If you ask me, I don''t know." Anyway, [Sand Island] has been like this since I can remember it. Come on, little fairy, let my sister touch you. With that said, Sha Jingjing stretched out her claws towards Tracy. Tracey wailed: "Captain, save me!" Shaan chose to sit on the sidelines. After all, if you really think about it, the reason why they are in danger on [Sand Island] is most likely because this little goblin got into An''s armor without authorization. ?However, before Sha Jingjing and Tracy had been playing around for long, there was a noise outside the valley. I saw a native man covered in blood staggering in. Holy Lady, High Priest! Our tribe is besieged by outsiders, please provide support quickly! The high priest asked with a serious face: "Who are the outsiders, and what are their number and strength?" ??The injured native gasped and replied: "There are about thirty or forty people. They seem to have the ability to control blood. We are no match at all." Furthermore, those outsiders are extremely hostile to us and have no intention of leaving us alive. The power of blood The high priest looked gloomy: "They are those beasts of the vampire race!" Have even the [Island of Sand] begun to be invaded by them? Fighters who can still fight, all go board the [Moonlight Ship]! At this time, Sha Jingjing also rushed to the high priest''s side. Hearing this, he couldn''t help but frown slightly: "There are still many people whose injuries have not been healed." Would it be too hasty to go to war now? The high priest shook his head: "There is no time." I know the ways of those vampire beasts. There is a deep hatred between them and us [Yongyue Clan] that cannot be resolved. "If we go too late, the whole tribe will be wiped out." Sha Jingjing murmured: "A vampire..." ??Although she didn''t know much about this race, for some reason, when she mentioned this name, a strange feeling of disgust always appeared in her heart. Is this really a feud engraved deep in the blood? She thought for a moment and said, "High Priest, I understand." In that case, Ill just hold the [Moon Chanting Ceremony] on the [Moonlight Boat]. Although the effect will be a little worse, it can at least treat some injuries. The high priest nodded and said, "Then I''ll leave it to you." Not long after, Sha Jingjing led a group of natives out of the valley. To her surprise, Xia En and Ann also followed. ...Wont you take this opportunity to leave? Xia En said bluntly: "To be honest, we also have a lot of grudges against the vampires." The woman named Twilight is a member of the Vampire Clan. If its convenient, you might as well take us for a ride. Sha Jingjing nodded heavily: "That would be great." She has seen Xia En''s strength. If Xia En is willing to take action, many people may not die in this battle. Soon, Xia En saw what the natives called the "moonlight boat". This is a large ship docked behind the sand dunes. The sails on the ship are as worn as the yellow robes worn by the natives. ?Looks like it''s old and weathered. However, there is a silver-gray pattern on its hull, which is not as precise as a magic pattern. Rather, its more like some kind of primitive totem texture, which inexplicably gives people a savage and ancient feeling. This is [Moonlight Ship]? Xia En was secretly surprised: "But how is it going to start?" ??The lower part of this [Moonlight Boat] was mostly submerged in the sand, like a whale stranded on the beach, unable to move. ?But now that the situation was urgent, he couldn''t ask further questions, so he just got on the boat with other natives. Brother, you are from outside the island, right? ?At this moment, a low, crisp voice sounded next to Xia En. "Um?" ?Xia En turned his head to look and couldn''t help but frown. ?The person talking next to him was the little indigenous girl, Ayi. But such a little girl is not ready to go to the battlefield yet, right? Ayi grinned and said, "Brother, don''t underestimate me. I am a candidate saint in the tribe." Ive already been on the battlefield a long time ago! Candidate Saint? ?Shaan is a little curious about this term. Those who have been recognized by the Lord of Radiance like my sister are the real [Sand Saints]. "But if my sister dies, it will be our turn to be the candidate for the saint." Ayi said calmly: "In [Sand Island], saints are actually more likely to die in battle than other members of the same race..." "Since I was born, I have met five saints. Maybe...it will be my turn next." ?These plain words faintly revealed a corner of the cruel truth of [Island of Sand]. ?Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. Soon, Sha Jingjing walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the sky with a pious expression. A full moon is hanging there quietly. "I offer this body to the Lord, and may the glory be with me..." ?As Sha Jingjing chanted in a low voice, the moonlight poured down like water and fell on the "Moonlight Boat". At this moment, Xia En suddenly came to his senses. He finally realized where the previous strange feeling came from In the eyes of the [Moon Yong Tribe], the Lord of billions of radiance is not the brilliant and blazing sun, but this cold moon! (End of this chapter) Chapter 212 Absorb [Moonlight Essence], the prophesied Holy Son Chapter 212 Absorbing [Moonlight Essence], the prophesied Holy Son Above the sea of ??sand. ?The moonlight is like a dream and fog, weaving into a beautiful picture. With Sha Jingjings prayer, the moonlight in the sky seemed to come alive, gathering closer and closer to the [Moonlight Boat]. The totem-like lines on the hull gradually light up. In an instant, mysterious power flowed throughout the ship. ??The moonlight spread over the deck, over the side of the ship, over the mast, and finally spread along the lonely mast, intertwining into a huge sail like gauze and mist. Moonlight Boatsets sail in this vast sea of ??sand! Shasha The sound of grinding gravel replaced the sound of waves. ?Xia En looked down and found that the sand in contact with the bottom of the hull suddenly softened, like quicksand, allowing the Moonlight Boat to ride on the sand sea. This is probably the effect of the totem textures on the ship''s hull being activated. Xia En turned to look at the natives again, and saw that they all looked normal, no one was surprised. Obviously, they have taken this magical ship more than once. Brother, isnt our [Moonlight Ship] powerful? Whenever a tribe asks for help, each tribe will send a [moonlight boat] for support. Next to him, Ayi said in a showy tone: "This is a ship that only saints and saint candidates can sail. Maybe I can be its captain in the future!" Xia En sincerely praised: "It''s really amazing." ?This was the first time he had seen a ship like this that could travel on land. ?Furthermore, judging from the speed at which the scenery on both sides recedes, the speed of the [Moonlight Ship] is quite considerable, no slower than ordinary sea-going ships. ?But soon, Xia En noticed that Sha Jingjings movements did not stop. ??The [Sand Saint] of the Moon-Singing Tribe stood in the middle of the deck, looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and spoke a strange and ancient language in her mouth. Then she began to dance in the moonlight. ?That is definitely not an elegant court dance, let alone a performance dance that appears in the theater. It is a sacrificial dance. ?Her movements are primitive, ancient and barbaric, but they have an indescribable charm and beauty, as if they complement the falling moonlight. In a trance, in Xia En''s eyes, the person dancing in the moonlight was no longer a girl, but a giant silver-white wolf! Ayi looked at Sha Jingjing with reverence and murmured. This is the [Moon Chanting Ceremony] ?Her expression was very longing, but inexplicably, Xia En could hear a touch of sadness in her tone. Not long after, Xia En frowned slightly. He noticed that as the [Moon Chanting Ceremony] progressed, Sha Jingjing''s face became paler. Her life force seemed to be draining away. The essence of this ceremony is actually sacrifice. Now it seems that what it sacrifices is the life force of the saint. Xia En understood something in his heart: "No wonder the natives have this attitude towards the saint..." The next moment. Sha Jingjing looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. ??The rest of the Yongyue tribe also howled at the moon, with an indescribable sadness and desolation in their long howls. At this time, the moonlight from high places became more and more solid, as if it was constantly condensing. Finally turned into a mysterious silvery liquid. This is the essence of moonlight. It can not only heal wounds, but also make our physical body stronger. Ayi explained in a low voice. But not long after, a look of doubt appeared on her little face. Eh? Why is there so much moon essence today? ?In mid-air, the volume of silver-white liquid did not slow down at all, and soon it reached the size of a small pool. In normal times, one [Moon Chanting Ceremony] can obtain a large bowl of moon essence, which is considered very efficient. ?Not only Ayi, but other indigenous people also discovered the abnormality of this ceremony and couldn''t help but be a little surprised. ?Sha Jingjings eyes flashed with surprise. No matter what, it is always a good thing to get more Moon Essence. Perhaps the Lord of Radiance is moved by my sincerity and is willing to give more gifts! ?However, as soon as Sha Jingjing came up with this idea, she realized that the ball of moonlight essence above her head suddenly seemed to have its own consciousness and was not under her control. Not only that, even the misty moonlight seemed to be inspired by another existence and no longer lingered around her. Whats going on? Sha Jingjing suddenly panicked. This was the first time she encountered this situation. In the inheritance of saints throughout the ages, it has never been said that such an abnormal situation would occur. Sha Jingjing turned her head to look in the direction where the moonlight was flowing, and couldn''t help but be stunned. ??The moonlight, like flowing water and mist, lingered beside Xia En on the deck and did not dissipate for a long time. The moonlight seemed to be cheering around him, blooming brightly for his arrival. ?Even Sha Jingjing has never seen that kind of intimate gesture. ?At this time, a breeze came and blew off Shane''s hood, revealing his true appearance. ?His figure is slender and tall against the backdrop of the silver moonlight, and his already handsome face looks even more holy and refined. Just like...the agent of gods in the human world! This moment. ?In the hearts of many Yongyue clan members present, there was an inexplicable urge to worship. ?However, in Xia En''s palm, the extraction of moon essence continued. A steady stream of silver-white liquid is precipitating from the moonlight, making this pool of essence continue to grow. Xia En didnt know why he was able to do this. He just intuitively felt that he should do this, so he did it. During this process, part of the moon essence was naturally absorbed by his body. The feeling of moonlight entering the body is very strange, first there is a cool and warm feeling. When it flowed through the body, it felt a little heavy, like drops of mercury. This is due to the special environment of [Sand Island]. Any secret power that can leave the body will be compressed extremely solidly. But wherever this secret power flows, muscles and bones become stronger. You absorbed the "Moon Essence"! ?Quality: Rare Type: Props Description: The essence extracted from moonlight. Can heal most injuries and slightly strengthen the physical body. Billions of radiances are all His supporters. But legend has it that in older years, the authority of the moonlight was held by the "Scarlet Lord". Comprehensive quality: 4.514.54 4.544.56 Comprehensive quality: 4.6! As the numbers on the panel jumped, the overall quality finally settled at 4.6! ?The increase was not too big, but it also surprised Xia En. With his current physical strength, every improvement is valuable. ??And strangely, this kind of moonlight seems to have the effect of washing the body and mind. It not only cleans the clothes on the body, but also makes the mind particularly peaceful and stable. ?However, when seeing the description on the panel, Xia En had a strange expression. "Blood Moon...[Scarlet Lord] and moonlight do seem to have a strong connection." But does this mean that His authority has been snatched away by the Lord of billions of radiances? No wonder he has that attitude towards the Lord of Radiance. While thinking, Xia En clearly felt that his body''s absorption of [Moon Essence] was close to saturation. The improvement from continued extraction will only be minimal. So, he waved his big hand lightly. ?The essence of the moonlight around them fell like raindrops on Sha Jingjing and many indigenous people. ?Of course, Shane has not forgotten Ann and Tracey. ??Both of them received an extra large ball of moonlight. Even though Xia En and the three of them absorbed part of the essence, the total amount of moon essence this time was far greater than before, and the amount of moon essence each received in the end was still several times the usual amount. The healing effect of [Moon Essence] is immediate. As soon as it comes into contact with the wound, the vitality of blood and flesh is immediately stimulated, causing the flesh and blood of the wound to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. ?Sha Jingjings two gunshot wounds were healed. However, after a brief surprise, the natives all looked at Xia En with surprised and alert eyes. Are you an outsider? "But why can you control the power of the moonlight? Isn''t this the unique ability of the saint?" The physical features of [Yongyue Clan] are very obvious. Xia En, who does not have wolf ears and wolf tail, naturally revealed his identity immediately. Ayi opened her eyes wide: "Brother, are you also a saint candidate?" ?Shaan: ?His brain was spinning rapidly, preparing to come up with a reasonable explanation. But at this moment, an older native in the crowd murmured: "I remembered." Come on the night of the full moon and dance with the moonlight in the sky... The Son! He is the prophesied Son! ...the Son? Sha Jingjing looked dazed for a moment, and she also remembered the ancient prophecy. It is said that one day in the future, a holy son will come to [Sand Island] and lead them out of this difficult situation. Be able to live peacefully and happily like other races. Just because this prophecy is too old, and the content is so beautiful that it is a bit unrealistic. Not many young people of this generation remember this prophecy, and even if they do, they still disagree deep down. But right now ?This strange situation seems to be the only one that can be explained by it? Xia Ens head was filled with questions. ??Its okay that he is called the Angel of God by the sea people of [Coral City]. What the **** is the Holy Son? ?If Xia En knew that Mr. Heller of the previous [Netherworld Sect] actually regarded him as the [Netherworld Holy Son], his mood would be even weirder. This is what happened Sha Jingjing walked up to Xia En and explained to him the general ins and outs in a low voice. Finally, she opened her bright eyes and asked nervously and expectantly. Are youthe prophesied Son? ?Xia En fell silent. He really didn''t know how to answer this question. ?While Sha Jingjing was waiting for his reply, the native at the helm suddenly said. Mrs. Saint, look ahead! Hearing this, Sha Jingjing and the other natives immediately turned their heads to look. ??Not far away, in the dark and cold desert, there was a scarlet blood fire, burning blazingly! ?The firelight illuminated almost half of the desert. ?Seeing this scene, the native who came to ask for help was filled with jealousy and shouted: "That''s it!" Those **** outsiders! As soon as Xia En saw the ball of blood and fire, he quickly felt a sense of familiarity. ??That kind of secret power that contains negative emotions in filth, you can tell at a glance that it is the work of the vampires. However, there seems to be no aura of Twilights woman, nor the signature twin flowers ?Shane has already memorized the smell of Twilight''s blood, and can recognize it whenever he comes into contact with it. Did you get separated from your men? Judging from Twilight''s previous behavior, she obviously prefers to act alone and does not like to be restrained by other people. And this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity! Sha Jingjing looked resolute and shouted: "Get ready to fight!" Before she finished speaking, she pulled out a dark yellow long bow from the mark on her chest, and a mysterious power lingered on it. ??The power of this longbow is so amazing that it can even hurt Twilight, who is suspected to be a sixth-level person. ??The rest of the natives also took out their bows, arrows and long knives, and the arrows and blades were quenched with strong poison. ?Although their technological level is lagging behind, their combat power cannot be underestimated. The speed of the [Moonlight Ship] is astonishing, and the distance between it and the **** fire is rapidly shortening. But due to the mighty momentum of this ship, the Vampires in the Bloodfire quickly noticed its arrival. Suddenly, Xia En''s eyes narrowed, and he sensed several smells of blood approaching rapidly in front of him. Enemy attack! Xia En pointed in that direction. Sha Jingjing and others have rich fighting experience, and their long bows immediately pointed in the direction pointed by Xia En. Several vampires hiding their bodies emerged from the shadows of the sand dunes. What greeted them were several arrows with astonishing power. Sha Jingjings bow and arrow seemed to have some kind of secret space power, and it traveled directly through the space and came to the vampires chest. simultaneously! laugh! laugh! A small rain of arrows immediately shot these vampires to the ground. ??The vampires had strong vitality and were not killed on the spot, but the poison on the arrow quickly spread within their bodies. In the blink of an eye, they were transformed into mummies under the influence of the strange toxin. ??The Vampires behind were shocked for a while. They had clearly used special secret techniques to hide their figures, so why were they still discovered by the other side? ??With the perception of [blood power], the disguises of the vampires are almost invisible to Xia En. ?Shan En then pointed in several directions in the desert. At first, the natives were a little puzzled as to why they obeyed the order of this outsider, but they just followed it subconsciously. ?But soon, they discovered that every time Xia En gave an order, he could kill several vampires. In addition to the miraculous scene of controlling the moonlight before, and the prophecy and legend of the Holy Son. ?Unconsciously, Xia En gained a lot of prestige among the indigenous people. At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar from the blood and fire, and a big ax burning with blood and fire whirled towards the [Moonlight Ship]. Sha Jingjing immediately drew her bow and shot an arrow. The dark yellow long arrows were shot out one after another with great force. There was a loud "clang" sound, and several long arrows were directly split in half by the axe. The ax continued unabated and headed straight for Sha Jingjing. The girl''s face turned pale and she was ready to use her last resort to fight against the enemy. But at this moment, Xia En took a step forward and came to the axe, stretching out his seemingly white palm. (End of this chapter) Chapter 213 The silver wolf in the moonlight, the location of the treasure Chapter 213 The silver wolf under the moonlight, the location of the treasure Lord Holy Son! Some natives couldn''t help but exclaimed when they saw Xia En standing in front of the flying axe. After all, compared with the powerful and heavy flying axe, Xia En''s body still seems too thin and delicate. ?Sha Jingjing behind him couldn''t help but widen his eyes, his face was pale, and his face was full of worry. But the next moment. ??The menacing flying ax did not split Xia En in half as many people expected, but was directly held in his hand! ??The flying ax is so fast and powerful, it is even more difficult to do this than grabbing a bullet with bare hands. After Xia En held the throwing ax, he turned his head and looked in a direction in the desert. ?An extremely tall vampire rushed out from there, wearing dark golden armor and extremely gorgeous. He looked at the corpses of the vampire warriors all over the ground and was extremely angry. He stared at the natives on the [Moonlight Boat] and roared. You big stinking dogs must die! ? Judging from the strength of the vampire''s throwing axe, he is at least a fourth-level mystic. He is also good at brute force hand-to-hand combat, and his combat power is very good. ??Xia En didn''t panic about his arrival. He just silently raised the ax and threw it at the vampire with all his strength! ?Hum! ??The flying ax pierced the air, making a terrifying scream, and flew towards the tall vampire at a faster speed than when it came. ??The vampire, who was still roaring angrily a second ago, immediately felt a sense of crisis on the verge of death. ?His expression suddenly changed, he grabbed a heavy shield and held it to his side. Dang! ??The flying ax struck the heavy shield hard, and the shield''s secret light instantly shattered, and then even the shield surface was torn into pieces. The tall vampire took several steps back, and there were several cracks in the armor on his body. ?His face turned pale and he couldn''t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. ??The **** throwing ax couldn''t withstand such a violent impact and broke into several pieces. The tall vampire then raised his head and looked at Xia En, who was standing in mid-air, with a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes. Captain of [Black Swan]Shane!? Xia En raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You actually know me?" ?He disappeared from the [Cold Sea] for a long time, and his reputation is no longer as great as it was when he just sank the [Blood Duke]. Even Twilight didn''t recognize his identity, so how did this vampire recognize him? Suddenly, Xia En discovered a badge on the vampire armor. ??On it is painted a scarlet rose flower. Xia En suddenly understood: "Are you from the Nova family?" ??The tall vampire came back to his senses after a brief shock and said with a ferocious smile: "I didn''t expect you to still be alive!" It just so happens that the hatred of the Nova family will be washed away with the blood of the enemy! Before he finished speaking, the tall vampire took off a hand cannon powered by secret power from his waist and began to fire and bombard. One after another blood-fire cannonballs hit Xia En like streams of light. ??The principle of this hand cannon is exactly the same as the twin flowers in Twilight''s hands. They are both fired with the secret power of the vampires as ammunition, and the power is quite amazing. ?Xia En took another step forward, using the shadows to shuttle his body, and each step could cover a distance of tens of meters. It is a dark night now, and even if there is a full moon hanging high in the sky, the desert is still full of shadows. For Xia En, who has thoroughly studied the "Book of Shadows", this is his home field at this moment! At this time, the other Vampires also noticed the fast-moving figure and saw the tall Vampire''s actions, so they attacked him without hesitation. Some vampires rushed forward like wolves and tigers. Some used secret firearms similar to those of the Twin Flowers. This is the secret weapon they prepared to deal with the special environment of [Island of Sand], but it was used on Xia En at this time. In an instant. There was almost a rain of fire composed of blood-colored streamers, which drowned Xia En in a mighty manner. However, when those **** streams of light came to Xia En, they all encountered some great resistance, slowed down rapidly, and disappeared in just a few seconds. It was as if it had been wiped away by an invisible hand. It seems like... ?The shadows lingering around Xia En suddenly came to life, biting, dissolving, and devouring all the blood that came close. ?This is exactly the effect of [Great Dark Sky]. ??Although on [Island of Sand], Xia En was unable to reproduce the miraculous scene on [Island of Ten Thousand Ships], the scope of the domain was greatly reduced, and he could only cover an area within three meters of his body. But it was also because of this that Xia En developed another usage of [Great Dark Sky]. After continuously compressing the domain, its effectiveness, defense, and solidity have been greatly improved. This area with a radius of three meters is Xia En''s strongest armor. Any external attack will be suppressed by the [Great Dark Sky], or even directly absorbed. The Vampires naturally dont know these inside stories. ??They only knew that the attacks they and others landed on Xia En were like a mud cow entering the sea, with no effect at all, let alone leaving wounds on his body. Those vampires who took the initiative to rush towards Xia En suddenly felt their eyes go dark. Heavy darkness seemed to be coming from all directions, occupying their entire world. Suddenly, irresistible pressure fell. ??All the vampires who were approached by Xia En fell to the ground. ??The weak ones simply heard the sound of intensive bone cracking on their bodies. Even the strongest vampires can barely support them and cannot even run. ?However, they dont have to run away. Xia En passed through them leisurely as if strolling in a courtyard. Blood splashed when he waved his **** sword, and several of the strongest vampires were the first to turn into corpses. In the blink of an eye. ??The vampire who attacked earlier fell to pieces, which made the remaining vampires stop in shock, with a trace of fear in their eyes. They had no idea how their companions fell, let alone how to hurt Xia En. ?This kind of unknown enemy is even more frightening. But they stopped, but Xia En didn''t. ?Every time he took a step, he would appear behind a vampire without any warning, and the power of [Great Dark Sky] would directly crush him. ?Even if Xia En didn''t even have to do anything, the bones of these vampires would be broken into pieces, at least they would be seriously injured. The power of the domain is so overbearing when it comes to dealing with low-level Mystics! ?Seeing this scene, the tall vampire''s eyelids kept twitching, and he was filled with resentment. ?He had long noticed that Xia En''s eyes had been falling on him, but he had not yet made a move on him. Obviously, the other party wanted him to watch other vampires die in front of him. Damn it! The tall vampire''s eyes were red and his veins were bulging: "I''m going to kill you! I''m going to drain your blood!" Chichichi As the blood mist dispersed, the body of this vampire became distorted and expanded. ?Under the moonlight, he suddenly turned into a hideous and terrifying bat monster, very similar to the old gentleman in the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Its just that the bat monster transformed by this vampire is even bigger and more powerful. It is more than five meters long, extremely thick, and its claws are thicker than ordinary people''s thighs. ?There are huge and sharp spikes on the shoulders, elbows, knees and other parts, which look ferocious and terrifying. The aura is many times stronger than that of the old gentleman. Xia En has been dealing with the vampires for such a long time, and of course he knows that this is the "second form" of the vampires. ?However, the current Xia En is no longer what he used to be. He didn''t even use the "second stage" and "third stage" abilities. He rushed directly in front of the bat monster and struck it on the head with a sword. Extremely powerful body, heavy and terrifying domain, supplemented by pure secret power... The three are superimposed, and this sword is almost unstoppable! ??The bat monster was horrified. He raised his claws and tried his best to block the sword. simultaneously! Blood splattered, and the bat monster was split into two. ?However, it did not die after splitting into two halves. ?Half of the body escaped quickly, while the other half rushed towards the sand crystals on the [Moonlight Boat] like a stream of light. This man actually knew from the beginning that he was no match for Xia En and wanted to escape. He also noticed that Sha Jingjing''s status among the indigenous people was obviously very high. As long as he subdued this girl, he could delay it for a long time. Xia En would naturally not let this person escape, but if he wanted to protect Sha Jingjing, he would definitely waste a lot of time. Xia En turned around and saw Sha Jingjing nodding firmly towards him. Thats saying C Please believe me! ?Hence, Xia En no longer hesitated and chased directly towards the escaping **** light. After he crushed the blood light, he turned his head and saw... Under the moonlight, on the Moonlight Ship, a giant silver wolf opened its mouth and bit the half of the **** bat, preventing it from moving at all. The regeneration ability of the vampires seems to be somewhat restrained under the wolf fangs. ??The bat monster was losing blood and just stared at them with malicious eyes and cursed. It is indeed a disgusting big dog. When Lord Twilight comes... you will all die miserably! ?Its breath gradually weakened, and soon it died completely, turning into a puddle of rancid blood. ?Seeing the man with the highest combat power killed in battle, the remaining vampires lost all will to fight and finally began to rout. The natives continued to use poisonous arrows to harvest their lives. Coupled with Xia En''s action, no vampire could escape in the end. ?After annihilating the enemy, Xia En looked at the giant wolf under the moonlight with curious eyes. I have to say that Sha Jingjing at this time has a unique charm. ?The body of this giant wolf is tight and strong, full of explosive power, plump but not too thick, looking elegant and dangerous. ?The silver hair is slightly open and fluffy, and the tips of each hair are glowing with a faint light, as soft as satin. It gives people an urge to touch it. In fact, Shane did the same thing. Woo! Sha Jingjing was suddenly startled when Xia En rubbed her head: "Captain Xia En, what are you doing!" It feels really good. Xia En touched her all the way from the back of her head to her back. The touch was smooth, and it felt like he was petting his big dog in his previous life. Its just that Sha Jingjing was obviously not used to this kind of intimate touch, and her voice became a little strange. Dont, dont touch it Woo! The tail cant do it! At leastnot in front of everyone ?Her mouth expressed resistance, but her ears twitched slightly in comfort, and her tail swayed from side to side, obviously in a good mood. Fortunately, the other natives were busy cleaning up the mess, so they didn''t cast any strange looks. ?Xia En looked at the silver wolf in front of him, his thoughts fluctuating in his mind. It seems that the so-called [Yongyue Clan] are the werewolves in my impression! In this world, vampires and werewolves also have feuds? However, the number of werewolves is obviously much smaller than that of the vampires. Is the hatred between them related to the [Lord of Radiance] and [Lord of Scarlet]? He currently knows too little information to make an accurate judgment. Soon, Xia En looked at the ruins where the blood fire was gradually extinguishing. ?There was obviously a gathering place for the [Yongyue Clan]. Many indigenous people have died in the raging **** fire, their bodies were burned into a blackened mass, and the former houses and buildings were almost completely destroyed. Among the corpses were old people and small children. Obviously, the Vampires have just been massacring the natives indiscriminately. ?It was precisely because he knew the cruel methods of the vampires that Xia En treated them without any mercy, let alone keeping prisoners. Fortunately, there was still a small group of natives who hid in the fortress behind the village when the vampires attacked. Under the desperate protection of several strong natives, these people survived by chance. even so. The atmosphere in the entire ruins inevitably became extremely depressing and heavy. ??Everywhere is filled with the smell of blood and fire. From time to time, the cries of survivors could be heard, and sorrow and hatred flowed through the eyes of the natives. Sha Jingjing quietly transformed back into a human form. Looking at the tragic situation in the ruins, she felt particularly heavy. In recent times, the number of outsiders who have landed on the [Island of Sand] has been much greater than before. Not only this tribe, but other tribes also had conflicts with outsiders, resulting in considerable casualties. ??Moreover, it now seems that the number of outsiders attracted seems endless. But the natives on the island will always be killed one day. At this time, an old man with a broken arm looked at Sha Jingjing and murmured. My Lady Saint, when will this kind of day end? We obviously just want to live a stable life... His words made the other natives feel sad. ?Surviving in such a harsh desert environment is not easy, but people from outside the island launch attacks from time to time and destroy their homes. Such an unreasonable disaster and a life with no future in sight are really despairing. Sha Jingjing, who was burdened with the expectations of her tribe, felt even more heavy-hearted and could not say a word of comfort. ?Hushly, Sha Jingjing glanced at Xia En and seemed to have made some kind of determination in her heart. Captain Shane, come with me. After taking Xia En away from the sight of the natives, Sha Jingjing said directly. Captain Shane, I think youre here for the [Norwich Treasure] too, right? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded slightly. Sha Jingjing looked directly into Xia En''s eyes and said seriously: "I know where the treasure is." Please...take it away! (End of this chapter) Chapter 214 The transformed [Platinum Knight] Chapter 214: The Transformed [Platinum Knight] "Um?" Facing Sha Jingjings sudden request, Xia En was stunned for a moment. To be honest, his first thought was Norwich Treasureshall I take it? After all, even if Xia En breaks through to the fourth level and masters a powerful secret technique like [Great Dark Sky], there is still a big gap between him and the truly powerful person who came to this island. ?However, after thinking about it, he understood Sha Jingjings intention. Although I dont know why the natives of [Sand Island] did not use this treasure. But for them, this treasure has long become a source of misfortune. ?It is precisely its existence that makes many outsiders flock to the [Sand Island] like sharks smelling the smell of blood. ??If Xia En can take this treasure away, it will undoubtedly improve the plight of the Yongyue clan to a certain extent. ??Moreover, in Sha Jingjings view. They are destined to be unable to keep this treasure anyway, and it will eventually be taken away by outsiders. Giving it to everyone, why not give it to Xia En, who is kind to the Yongyue clan and is suspected of being the "prophesied Son of God"? At this time, Sha Jingjing continued: "However, the place where this treasure is hidden is extremely dangerous." Our people paid a heavy price for exploring it. Hope Captain Shane is ready. Xia En looked solemn: "I will do it." Sha Jingjing sighed faintly: "Captain Xia En, please come with me." Just when Sha Jingjing led Xia En to the treasure place. On the sea near [Sand Island]. ?A medium-sized advanced steamship has just passed through the thunder-filled [Magnetic Sea Area] and slowly approached this island made of yellow sand. ?On the hull of this steamship, the [Star Wave] logo composed of stars and waves is clearly engraved. It also demonstrates its noble identity as belonging to the federation. It''s just that it''s different from other silver-white [hunting boats]. ??The theme color of this steam ship is more brass-colored, and the proportion of steam devices on the ship is much larger than that of ordinary ships. ? Comprehensive interlaced pipes and pressure relief structures are spread up and down the hull like a network. ?Even the number of chimneys is five. ?If you look carefully, you can also find that those chimneys have a strange symbol on them. ?The bottom is like solid steel, and the top is steam rising. This is a simplified drawing of the world''s first steam engine, which is also the emblem of the God of Steam and Steel. ?On the deck of this ship, white steam releases from time to time. Together with the rhythm of the ship''s mechanical devices and the jumping of the steam core, it constitutes a hymn unique to steel and steam. Steam is the breath of God, and steel is the bridge between man and God. ?In the white steam, a gray-haired young man sighed softly: "This [Brass] is a treasured place of cultivation for the believers of the God of Steel and Steam." "It seems like a lot of money was spent on it. No wonder her promotion is so fast." The gray-haired man had a hint of envy on his face. You must know that the owner of this [Brass] has broken through the third level and two levels in a row in the past few months, reaching the level of the fifth level mystic. Even if the gray-haired man claims to be a half-genius, he still feels a little ashamed in front of the owner of the Brass Horn. Your Excellency Huiyun, what are you muttering about? ?At this moment, a slightly ethereal and hoarse female voice came from the steam. A slender and straight figure walked out slowly. ?Her body is composed of white-gold armor, with precise and strange steam cores embedded in her arms, elbows, chest, legs... Not only provides her with strong and surging power, but also adds a bit of gorgeous beauty. Under her goggles, her eyes also emitted a white-gold light. Her temperament is mysterious and elegant, with an unusual divine beauty. Platinum KnightCarles! Compared to when he was separated from Shane, Carles''s body has obviously changed a lot. First of all, the most significant change is the number of steam cores. Previously, Carles only carried two or three steam cores, but now, the number has reached an astonishing 32! More steam cores mean more power, stronger performance, and more capabilities! ?For living armors like Carles, in addition to gaining new abilities through promotion and installing new mechanical modules, it is also a stable method of becoming stronger. This is also the reason why Huiyun said that he had "spent a lot of money". Secondly, the metal that makes up Carles'' body has also been greatly strengthened. The color of white gold becomes clearer and purer, and its hardness and toughness are different. The last point is The style of this armor has shifted slightly from the original neutral to feminine. If I have to say it, it is...she has become more "pretty". ?This change is related to Carles self-understanding. Steam armor itself has no gender. But since leaving the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] last time, Carles has spoken more often in a female voice and tone, and has become more accustomed to identifying as a female. In order to conform to her identity, the Federation also made some adjustments when transforming her. However, there are rumors within the federation. ?The reason why Carles did this seems to be because of a man? ?Thinking of this, Huiyun couldn''t help but ignited the fire of gossip in his heart, and asked curiously. "Lord Carles, I heard... you seemed to have truly determined your gender after performing a mission?" Is that what happened? ? Carles crossed his arms and sneered: "Your Excellency Huiyun, after you broke through the fourth level, you seem to be much more courageous than before?" Do you want me to tell you in actual combat, the difference between the fourth level and the fifth level? As she spoke, the steam core on her body buzzed and trembled, exuding a heart-stopping power. ifier Gray Cloud immediately became honest and quickly said: "Don''t stop ... I''m a archeologist who has no power of chickens, without the power of you." Sister, please forgive me for my hard work in deciphering the treasure map! ??As an official secret traveler of the Federation, Hui Yuns status is actually very special. Just as he said, his secret profession is that of a rare [archaeologist]. Strictly speaking, this should be a derivative profession of the [Scholar] secret path, and its combat effectiveness is indeed not outstanding. In fact. During the promotion process, Hui Yun never thought of resisting Xia En, but after carefully comparing the combat power of both sides, he was able to confirm that he really couldn''t defeat him! ?However, it was precisely because he hugged Xia En''s lap that Hui Yun did not die in the firefight of the pirates for no reason and managed to survive all the way to the end of the ritual. ??Although the evaluation of the trial is not too high, at least it has passed! Always much luckier than those secret path people who failed to advance. Speaking of which, although Hui Yun is not good at fighting, he is still quite famous within the Federation. In this era, people will always salvage treasures from ancient times from underwater ruins. Its now archaeologists turn to play a role. Deciphering and interpreting these cultural relics can provide individuals with a few more useful relics for secret travelers and help them judge the value of those antiques. Hence, Huiyun is also called a "treasure appraiser" by some people in the Federation. As for the entire Federation, they may even be able to decipher certain technologies of ancient civilizations and achieve a quantum leap in technology. Take the S3 document that was leaked this time as an example. Huiyun personally participated in the deciphering of this document, and also used this to locate the suspected treasure location of the [Norwich Treasure]. ?Huiyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Carles did not pursue the matter further and changed the subject. Speaking of which, this promotion ritual is truly remarkable. Especially a mystic who plays the role of the Apostle John, who actually understood the power of the realm at the fourth level. "You may not believe it when I tell you, but he and I joined forces to defeat all the powerful enemies present. Even Augustine was alarmed!" In my opinion, he might have received a perfect rating for this trial. ? Carles said in a calm tone: "You have said this no less than five times." Besides, he was actually the only one who took action, right? Ahem With the mystery revealed, Hui Yun was not embarrassed and just said. Actually, what surprised me the most was when I first met that guy. The ship named [Sky Serpent] originally had mediocre performance in all aspects. But in the hands of that person, it seems to have come alive, and it can also perform many incredible tactical moves. "Um?" ?Carless''s hoarse voice was rarely a little excited. "What did you say?" Huiyun was startled by her attitude and said blankly: "Did I say something wrong?" "I''m asking you, what happened to the ship in his hands?" Like, like come alive? ?Hearing this answer, Carles could no longer maintain his calm posture and couldn''t help but pace back and forth on the deck. The ability to control the ship...the fourth-level promotion ritual...achieving a perfect evaluation... Could it be him? Huiyun looked confused: "Who?" ??It was the first time that he saw Carles showing such an attitude because he heard someone''s presence. At this moment, a crew member came forward to report. Lord Carles, according to the captain of the recent [White Dove] and [Heron], the [Black Swan] has appeared in the [Magnetic Sea Area]. Its target is most likely the [Norwich Treasure] on the [Island of Sand]. Hearing this, Carles calmed down and directly ordered: "Go to [Sand Island] at full speed!" The gray clouds on the side were filled with excitement: "[Black Swan]?" Could it be that ? Carles glanced at him coldly, and it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. While approaching the [Island of Sand], they were also able to see several famous ships. Thats the [Gem Number] of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]! ??Hui Yun looked at one of the huge and luxurious ships and couldn''t help but raise his voice. It is said that it is the car of the great businessman Golden Eyes Miso. He himself is also a fifth-level powerhouse. If you include his subordinates, his strength will only be stronger. Soon, Hui Yun''s eyes moved to another large and sturdy ship docked on the coast. Theres also the pirate ship of Gall the Outlaw That guys boat is full of lunatics who have no inhibitions. ?In addition, there are many pirate ships with illustrious reputations scattered along the coast of [Sand Island]. Obviously, as the news spread, various forces came to the [Island of Sand] one after another, making the situation on the island even more chaotic. ?But at this moment, Carles''s eyes fell on a not too big ketch not far away. ??The sails of this ship seem to be dyed with ink, and the hull is also pitch black. The hull of the boat was extremely damp, with a strange fishy smell. It''s like...this ship comes from somewhere in the cold and deep sea. In a daze, something alive seemed to be quietly squirming in the shadow cast by the hull. But if you look closely, it seems to be just an illusion. As if aware of Carles'' gaze, a woman wearing a simple black nun''s dress walked onto the deck. ?This woman''s black hair is extremely long and seems to have not been taken care of. It is spread casually in front of her forehead, almost covering most of her face. ?Looks like a classic image that appears in some horror movies. ? Carles looked at her briefly and then withdrew his gaze. ??Hui Yun was also a fourth-level mystic after all. He quickly noticed the strangeness of the ship and the black-haired nun, and couldn''t help but ask after the other party gradually moved away. Sir, which ship is it? Dont ask what you shouldnt ask. ?Carless said coldly. In fact, it also caused quite a stir in her heart. )? Why are they even participating in the fight for this treasure? ??In the Seven Seas, the collective name for sects that are not officially recognized by the Federation is actually not a cult, but The secret religion! Among the many esoteric sects, [The Nether Sect] also belongs to the most mysterious group. ?Although they keep saying that they want to awaken the "Lord of the Deep" in the deep sea, they have never held any large-scale **** sacrifices. ?? Usually just dormant in the dark, and his behavior can be described as quite low-key. It''s like...they are quietly waiting for a certain opportunity to come. Because of this, federal officials do not have much hostility towards this sect. As long as they do not violate laws and regulations or perform evil rituals, they do not mind turning a blind eye. But the current [Norwich Treasure]...how did you lure them all out? ?Carless was keenly aware that the water behind the treasure seemed to be deeper than she expected. Lord Carles, that ship...is the Blood Tribes [Burning Gold]! At this time, Huiyun couldn''t help but exclaimed. Looking at the gorgeous and exquisite [Burning Gold], Carles couldn''t help but shrink his pupils, and the figure of Twilight appeared in his mind. Because of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], she had a brief encounter with Twilight. ?At that time, she was defeated miserably and had almost no power to fight back. Carless also clearly understands Twilights true ranksixth level! The sixth level is only one step away from the legend! ?Just thinking about that woman, Carles felt an extremely heavy pressure. ?This trip to [Sand Island] will definitely not be that easy. at the same time. ??Xia En has arrived at the entrance to the treasure place in the sand crystal mouth. (End of this chapter) Chapter 215 Going deep into the forbidden area, [Sand Island] is shaken! Chapter 215: Going deep into the forbidden area, [Sand Island] is shaken! After half a night of traveling. ?The full moon is still high in the sky, but the night begins to disappear quietly, and the sky becomes a little hazy. The place where Sha Jingjing brought Xia En was several kilometers behind where their tribe gathered. ?The terrain here is extremely steep, and the peaks on both sides are extremely tall. There is no vegetation on it, and the exposed mountain is dark yellow with dark red color, looking like mottled blood stains. From a distance, you cannot see the existence of these mountains. Only when you get close to a certain range will they suddenly break into your field of vision. Obviously, the environment here has some kind of special hidden secret that can deceive most people''s perception. Xia En also vaguely noticed that there were signs of distortion in the space nearby, and many places were contrary to common sense. This is it. Sha Jingjing took Xia En to the foot of two cliffs. There is a very narrow corridor in front of you, and only two people can walk side by side. In the corridor, there was a pressure that made one''s heart palpitate. It seemed like there was some terrible monster hiding deep in the corridor. This is the forbidden land of our clan, and it is also the location of the [Norwich Treasure]. A long time ago, we went deep into this place several times to explore the treasure, but all failed and caused a lot of casualties. As time went by, the high priest refused to let us enter here. Only when the tribe holds a coming-of-age ceremony, will the newly-adult boys and girls come to the forbidden area to undergo the test. Tracey, who was following Shane, asked curiously: "A coming-of-age ceremony?" I remember that the elves also have adult ceremonies. The elves who have reached their age will be taken to the Elf Mother Tree, and the Queen will personally wear a crown made of leaves from the sacred tree and receive the blessing of the Mother Goddess! Elves? Sha Jingjing said with some embarrassment: "This is the first time I have heard of the existence of this race." However, our [Yongyue Tribes] coming-of-age ceremony is far more cruel and dangerous than you say. ?Her expression was sad but strong, so Tracy didn''t dare to ask any more questions. At this time, Xia En said: "Miss Sha Jingjing, please send her here." The next road is up to us. Although Xia En didn''t know the specific circumstances of the Yongyue Clan''s coming-of-age ceremony, according to his intuition, there must be great danger hidden inside this narrow corridor. ?Sha Jingjing is willing to bring them here, which is considered to be the most benevolent thing. There is no need for her to put herself in danger again. ?Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the silver wolf girl shook her head firmly. I will also enter the forbidden land together. "No matter what, our family has a great connection with this treasure." "At least... I also want to take a look at what it is and why it caused so many of my kind to be killed." On the way here, Sha Jingjing had already made up her mind and would not waver easily, she continued. Furthermore, I just performed an adult ceremony some time ago, so I have some understanding of the situation in the forbidden area. Take me with you, it will definitely help you explore the forbidden area. Sha Jingjing said this, so Xia En stopped trying to persuade her and just said, "Okay, let''s go." Immediately, a group of three people walked towards the corridor with a goblin. As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Xia En noticed that his body was a little heavier. ?He was slightly startled and quickly concluded that the gravity field in the corridor had become stronger again. ?Moreover, the deeper you go into the corridor, the heavier the pressure becomes. Sha Jingjing whispered from the side: "This is the first test of the forbidden area. People with poor physical fitness will not be able to reach the end of the tunnel." But there are also people who use heavy pressure to temper their bodies. ?This pressure is enough to make it difficult for the average person. But for physically strong Mysteries like Xia En, An and Sha Jingjing, it is still within the bearable range. ??The only one who looked quite embarrassed was Tracy, who was lying on Shane''s shoulder. She can''t even fly now. ?While moving forward, Xia En was also silently observing the scenery in the corridor. ?The ground here is extremely solid, and its density is probably no less than that of alloy. But after walking for a while, Xia En saw a few clear footprints on the ground. There is also a faint, fresh smell of blood remaining in the air. Seeing this, Sha Jingjing''s expression changed slightly: "Someone entered the forbidden area before us!" ?Shane was not surprised by this. People from various forces have been coming to the [Sand Island] for some time. No matter what means are used, some people will definitely be able to find this forbidden land. only ?This smell of blood reminded Xia En of the twilight of the vampire clan. ??Moreover, even Xia En has to admit that with Twilight''s strength, if she is allowed to enter the forbidden area first, the probability of her getting the treasure is extremely high! ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a lot of pressure. Fortunately, judging from the freshness of the smell of blood, it shouldnt have been long since she entered the forbidden area, and there is still a possibility of overtaking her. The more times this happens, the less likely you are to be impatient. ?Xia En took two deep breaths, calmed down quickly, and moved forward unhurriedly at his own pace. I dont know how long Ive been walking. When he came to the end, even Xia En felt that his body was extremely heavy and he felt a little bit tired. The only good news is Comprehensive quality: 4.64.61! ?Under the tempering of this strong gravity, part of the medicinal effect of [Moon Essence] previously accumulated in Xia En''s body was absorbed. Unfortunately, the current situation is urgent and there is no time for him to continue to use gravity to exercise his body. Soon, Xia En took another step forward, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear. An empty and spacious space came directly into their field of vision. What appeared in front of them was a terrain similar to a valley basin, with tall and rough rock walls on all sides. In this gravity environment, it is almost impossible to climb out of this valley with bare hands. Flying is even more difficult than ascending to the sky. However, Xia En also noticed that there was a black mist in the air around him. ?This kind of black mist is actually somewhat similar to the wave of darkness when [Emerald Island] encountered [Wrath of God], and its shielding against perception is extremely powerful. ?With Xia Ens perception, he can only go deeper than ten meters. Anywhere further away, its just a blur. ˡ At this moment, a dull sound like an ancient war drum suddenly sounded. Hearing this voice, Xia En''s whole body felt numb, his blood surged, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Somewhere, there seemed to be a terrifying will that briefly set its sights on him. Xia En suddenly realized that it was not the sound of drums, but the beating of the heart! Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath the group''s feet continued to tremble, as if an earthquake had been triggered. In fact. Not only the area where Xia En and others are located, but also the natives and outsiders on the entire [Sand Island] heard this heartbeat and felt the vibration of the ground. Even the pirates who have experienced many battles can''t help but scream in surprise.?????What happened? Why was there a sudden earthquake? That muffled sound just now was Among the pirates, there is an ugly man whose face is covered with scars and almost disfigured, but his eyes are bright. The direction from which the heartbeat comes is where the treasure is! Brothers, follow me! The pirates nearby responded: "Yes, Captain Garr!" This disfigured man is none other than the fifth-level pirate "Madman" Gal! ?Beside him, there was also a strange man wrapped in bandages, whose body constantly exuded the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder. Under the bandage, a low, strange laugh could be heard from time to time. The other pirates were extremely afraid of this man and did not dare to get within ten meters of him. ?Only Garr patted the bandage weirdo''s shoulder nonchalantly and whispered: "Leo, I will make you explode this time." Coast. ?Carless and Huiyun also led several colleagues off the ship. Due to the special environment of [Island of Sand], ordinary Mysterians are greatly restricted. Not only can they not exert much combat power, they will also become a burden. So Carles only brought five or six elite men. At this moment, they all heard the dull heartbeat. ?Carless was okay, her body was made of steel and she didnt have much reaction. But Huiyun and the others didn''t feel so good, and they all had an unspeakable feeling of palpitations. Huiyun looked solemn and murmured: "Who is the owner of this heartbeat?" ?Carless, who knew some of the inside story in advance, was not too surprised and just sighed softly. Thats true. No wonder there are so few federal strongmen willing to participate in this operation. "Um?" Huiyun said in surprise: "Lord Carles, what do you mean by this?" ? Carles didnt hide anything, and said frankly: Arent you curious why I am the only fifth-level secret traveler from the Federation to come to [Island of Sand] this time? Even the Vampires have sixth-level Twilights taking action, and there will only be more sixth-level strong men in the Federation. Huiyun was startled and guessed: "Isn''t it because of the special restrictions of [Sand Island]?" ? Carles shook his head: "That''s just one factor." Furthermore, even if the ban on [Island of Sand] limits the strength of the Secret Pathers to Level 5, it will not be difficult for the Federation to select a group of Level 5 experts, right? The real reason behind this is actually... The Federation does not pay that much attention to the [Norwich Treasure] from [Island of Sand]. Thinking of the heartbeat just now, Huiyun couldn''t help but ask: "What exactly is the treasure here?" I can only say that this treasure is not just money or equipment. ? Carles continued: "It may be valuable to an individual, but it is not particularly valuable to the entire federation." Compared with the treasure that has been exposed, the Federation is actually more concerned about the treasures that are not known to the public. Hui Yun nodded clearly. The [Norwich Treasure] in [Sand Island] is only a part of [Norwich Treasure]. Rather than competing with these hyena-like pirates, merchants, and vampires, the Federation will naturally send more manpower and material resources to receive the treasures that only they know about. It''s not far away from Carles and others. ??The black-haired woman wearing a nun''s uniform landed on the [Sand Island] alone. Hearing this heartbeat, she couldn''t help but raise her head and look towards the center of the island, a strange emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes. Indigenous tribes in the valley. The old high priest felt the shaking of the earth and couldn''t help but burst into tears. Lord Holy Son, it must be the arrival of Lord Holy Son to cause it to wake up! He knelt down in the direction of the forbidden area, pressed his forehead to the ground, and prayed with the most pious attitude. "May the moonlight in the sky bless you and open up a new future for us..." When the shaking subsides. ?Xia En finally clearly sensed the powerful aura deep in the black mist. ??It''s not that Xia En''s perception is so powerful, but that the aura is so huge that it covers the entire forbidden land! ??If Xia Ens breath is a pond, then it is a deep sea! ?The heartbeat that shook the island came from the black mist. That was just now? ?Xia En frowned slightly. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, there was such a strange movement in the black mist. Could this be a simple coincidence? Beside, Sha Jingjing couldnt help but feel shocked. In her memory, there had never been such a change in the forbidden area, let alone any heartbeat that shook the entire island. Is this because of Captain Shane? Is he really the prophesied Son? Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En intently, as if she wanted to see the difference between him and the others. But at this moment, a stone next to her feet suddenly rolled, and a black shadow rushed out from below, shooting straight towards the sand crystal! ??Xia En activated the [Great Dark Sky] around him, directly immobilizing this dark shadow with heavy pressure. ??This is a strange-looking insect, with a body like a caterpillar, but a sharp thorn as long as a finger growing out of its head. ?Like with ferocious poison. ??The body of the zerg kept struggling and bouncing, and every time it curled up and squirmed, Xia En felt full of strength. ?It was flying as fast as a bullet. ?This is in a forbidden area with extremely strong gravity. If it were placed in the outside world, the power of one flying shot would be enough to penetrate the human body. Seeing this little bug, Sha Jingjing quickly straightened her attitude, observed the surroundings vigilantly, and explained at the same time. Most of these bugs come from the desert. After entering the forbidden area, they undergo strange transformations and are very dangerous. In addition to bugs, there are many other mutated creatures here, which is considered the second test of the forbidden area. As if in agreement with Sha Jingjings words, not long after, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly approached from the black mist. Its a wild wolf! Compared to the tiny bug, the mutation of this wild wolf is more obvious. ?Most of its flesh and blood had rotted away, and its white bones were directly exposed to the air, emitting bursts of putrid smell, which blended with the surrounding black mist. Its state is like being between life and death, making people instinctively feel uncomfortable. Seeing this, Xia En frowned even deeper. ?The appearance of this wild wolf inexplicably reminded him of the image of the "Apostle of Filth" on the "Emerald Island". Is there any connection between the two? Be careful, this is the Death Mist Wolf! It will... Before Sha Jingjing could finish her words, the rotten wild wolf brought out an evil wind and headed towards Xia En! (End of this chapter) Chapter 216 The more they object, the more it means I’m doing the right thing! Chapter 216 The more they object, the more it means I did the right thing! The moment when the Death Mist Wolf charges. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart. Because, while rushing out, the space around the Death Mist Wolf suddenly distorted. At the next moment, its figure seemed to have directly crossed a section of space, approaching Xia En''s face! There was a muffled sound. The Death Mist Wolf''s head slammed into the [Great Dark Sky] beside Xia En. ?It certainly cannot break through this extremely compressed realm. ??But what surprised Xia En was that the strange and mysterious power emanating from it began to erode the [Great Dark Sky] silently. ?This sign shows that the level of this secret power is not lower than mine! ?Xia En frowned slightly, a **** sword appeared in his hand, and struck the dead fog wolf''s head with one strike. But this sword actually only penetrated half of the Death Mist Wolf''s head, unable to directly split its body. ??As Xia En''s blood energy grew stronger, the sharpness of the blood sword also continued to increase, and it could even cut through hard alloys. One can imagine how hard the bones of this monster are! Sha Jingjing on the side could not help but widen her eyes. During her coming-of-age ceremony, she used all her strength and suffered many injuries on her body to defeat a dead fog wolf. ??How come in Xia En''s hands, the Death Mist Wolf seems to be no different from the Zerg just now? ?Xia En exerted a little force, and the sword blade split the body of the Death Mist Wolf into two parts. But even so, its mangled bones were still squirming and twisting slightly, and those divided scarlet eyes were still staring at Xia En. Tracey exclaimed in a low voice: "Captain Shane, it looks like the monster that appeared in [Wrath of God] that day!" ? Tracey once went back in time with Shane and personally experienced the "Wrath of God" incident in the "Emerald Isle", so naturally she quickly saw the similarities between the Death Mist Wolf and the "Filthy Sea Heir". [Wrath of God]? What is that? Sha Jingjing looked confused when she heard this. ??Although Ann next to her couldn''t speak, Tracey also felt his doubtful mood. ?Xia En''s expression became a little solemn. Even Tracy can see the similarity between the two, so how could he not? Combined with the diffuse black mist here, Xia En has been able to determine that this forbidden area is definitely closely related to the "Filthy Apostles" and even the "Filthy Command" behind them. Xia En thought to himself: "Since this is the treasure left by Augustine, could it be that... [Huisi Ming] is paying attention to it?" Or is this treasure actually related to [Huisi Ming]? ? Dont look at Augustines failure when he challenged [Dirty Command], and he lost so badly that he even lost confidence. But throughout the ages, how many mortals have been able to challenge the gods? Initiative to show off one''s own strength and announce the coming of the Great Flood, in order to frustrate Augustine''s fighting spirit, this is a kind of respect for him. Just when Xia En was secretly guessing. In the mist, the sound of heavy breathing came again. Pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in them. Its Death Mist Wolf, why are there so many of them!? Sha Jingjing couldnt help but change her expression. In her impression, when ordinary tribesmen hold coming-of-age ceremonies, encountering one or two dead fog wolves is already a very dangerous situation. But now, what they encountered was simply an entire pack of dead fog wolves! Xia Ens expression did not change, but he immediately noticed the reason for this change Hostility! The surrounding black mist, and even the entire forbidden area, seemed to be releasing strong hostility towards him. Want to devour him completely or drive him out! But the more this happened, the brighter Xia Ens eyes became. The more he tries to drive me away, the more it proves that the treasure Augustine buried here is likely to be an existence that can target and restrain [Huisiming]. Exactly in line with that sentence The more they object, the more it means I did the right thing! ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes lit up slightly and he said to the people behind him. Speed ??up your pace and follow me, Ill take you out! With such a large number of dead fog wolves, it would take even Xia En a long time to eliminate them all. In addition, more and more corrupted creatures emerge from the black mist. Rather than fighting with them here, it would be better to carve out a **** path and head into the depths of the black mist. Hearing this, Sha Jingjing immediately volunteered: "Our family has left a unique mark on this road, let me lead the way!" ?So, under the leadership of Sha Jingjing, Xia En crushed the incoming dead fog wolves and strode forward firmly. ?Not long after Xia En went deep into the black mist. A man wearing gorgeous clothes and wearing rings of different colors on all ten fingers has just arrived at the entrance to the forbidden area. ?This man, who is exuding jewels and jewels, has a pair of gold-like pupils. It is "Golden Eyes" Miso! Looking at the narrow passage in front of him, Miso''s slightly fat face flashed with joy. Found it, right here! On the Seven Seas, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. ?Misuo''s "golden eyes" are actually a natural ability he acquired, called [Treasure Hunter]. The location of the secret treasure can be found relatively accurately. ? Misuo also relied on this ability to make a fortune from a small businessman, and eventually became a big businessman of the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]. However, as a businessman, Miso''s own combat power is very average. With the help of various magic potions and secret techniques, he barely reached the fifth level. But as we all know, if strength is not enough, money is needed! ?For this treasure hunt, Miso hired two fifth-level mystics and several fourth-level mystics. ?Calculating their strength on paper, their group is probably the strongest group of outsiders in [Sand Island]. ?The reason why Miso is willing to spend a lot of money to explore the treasures of [Sand Island]. It was because he had heard the news beforehand and knew that this treasure was not just money, but some kind of secret treasure with great potential. Once obtained, subsequent benefits will continue to flow like a cornucopia. At that time, maybe Misos ranking in the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] can be improved! ?Thinking of this, Misuo''s heart became more and more fiery, and he ordered the subordinates around him. The treasure is inside, lets go! However, as soon as Misuo took a few steps into the corridor, his face couldn''t help but change slightly. Damn it! Why is the gravity here so heavy? ?Other followers also showed strange expressions. Not all of them were good at physical qualities, and it was very difficult to move forward under this terrible pressure. Soon, one or two Level 4 Secret Pathers fell behind. ?Although Misuo is at the fifth level, his true strength is actually no different from an ordinary fourth level. ??Before he reached the end of the corridor, he was already out of breath and sweating profusely. But fortunately, he has the ability! I saw a faint halo of light emitting from the ring on Miso''s right thumb, helping him resist the heavy pressure on his body. After taking a long breath, Miso also noticed the fresh footprints on the ground and said in surprise. No, someone got there before us! The fifth-level mystics hired by Miso are twin brothers named Matthew and Matthew. As an older brother, Matthew comforted himself: "Master Misuo, don''t worry." This is a place where even we have a hard time walking. There will definitely be more dangerous tests in the future, and ordinary people on the secret path will not be able to persist for long. Matthew also echoed: "Yes, yes, as long as we walk slowly at our own pace, the treasure will definitely be ours." Hearing this, Miso breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after, the group finally walked out of the corridor. ?Except for the Matthew brothers and two or three fourth-level mystics, most of the followers seemed to be struggling. Lord Miso, look quickly, there is a body there. Matthews eyesight was sharp and he quickly discovered the corpse of the dead fog wolf not far away. This is...a wolf? Misuo walked closer and observed for a moment, then speculated: "Could it be a wild wolf that strayed into this place from the desert?" But it looks so ugly, and it smells like rot. Its...is it a sword wound? Could it be the guy who entered the treasure place before us? ?Misuo''s strength is not satisfactory, but his powers of observation are far beyond those of ordinary mystics, and he can discern a lot of information at just one glance. Matthew on the side quickly stepped forward and protected Misuo: "Master Misuo, please be careful!" Theres something weird about this corpse! Misuo didnt take it seriously and laughed: Its just a corpse, what else can there be Before he finished speaking, a hoarse roar suddenly sounded from the wolf carcass below. ??The Death Mist Wolf, which had been divided into two halves and could no longer die, actually stood up with half of its body, and rushed towards Misuo from the left and the right. Matthew''s eyes narrowed, he raised his spear and swept it across. The weapon he used was a spear that was rarely seen among pirates! ??But when this shot was fired at the dead fog wolf''s body, it made a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the heavy force made his palms numb slightly. "Not good, Master Miso..." Matthew''s expression changed suddenly. He originally wanted to sweep away both halves of the body with one shot. But the strength of the Death Mist Wolf was beyond his expectation, and he could only stop half of the corpses. Fortunately, when the remaining half of the wolf corpse was about to approach Misuo, the ring on his right index finger flashed, knocking him away. After enduring such a heavy blow, the body finally settled down. ifier Misuo was shocked: "It''s like this, but it can still move?" ?Moreover, recalling the feeling of the defensive spell just now, he came to a conclusion. The bone density of this creature definitely exceeds that of ordinary alloys, and even rivals that of fine carbon steel! But, there is still someone who can split it in half with a sword? ?Misuo became more and more surprised. He originally thought that the person who killed the wild wolf was just a boy who was lucky enough to wander into this place by mistake. But now it seems that the strength of the other party cannot be underestimated! Miso asked again: "Matthew, Matthew, can you do such a thing?" After thinking for a moment, Matthew replied: "With our strength, it is not difficult to defeat this wild wolf." "But it''s definitely not possible to cut it in half cleanly like this." After this small episode, the group continued to move deeper into the black mist. ?But at this time, even the dullest person can detect the weirdness and danger of this black fog, and the atmosphere becomes more heavy and depressing. Along the way, everyone encountered the bodies of several dead fog wolves one after another. Or cut in half by a sword. Or the bones all over the body were shattered, as if an irresistible pressure had been exerted. Misuo and others became more and more frightened as they watched. Judging from these traces, the person in front seemed to be surrounded by these weird wild wolves, and he forced his way out of the pack. Brothers Matthew asked themselves, letting them kill so many strange wolves would cost them a lot. Not long after, among the corpses left in front, existences different from wild wolves began to appear. A ferocious giant scorpion that is more than ten meters long. There are also huge lizards that are poisonous. ??There are also ugly sandworms with crystals all over their bodies... ?These creatures that originally existed in the desert seemed to merge with the strange black mist after arriving in this forbidden land, creating a group of weird, rotten but powerful creatures. ?Just the remaining coercion on their corpses made Misuo and a group of fourth-level mystics frown, and secretly felt fear in their hearts. The good news is. Around these corpses, some traces of battle finally appeared. ?The extremely solid ground and rock walls are all filled with huge potholes, as if they had been ravaged by a storm. ?There are also deep ravines tens of meters long, as if the earth has been torn apart by something. Even Matthew and Matthew, who were on the fifth level, couldn''t help but take a breath of cold air at the sight in front of them. Matthew looked at Misuo and solemnly reminded him: "Mr. Misuo, the physical strength of the man in front is definitely far greater than that of my brother and me." Do you want to keep going? To be honest, Miso was also shocked by what he saw and heard along the way. In the outside world, various secret techniques can also achieve such power. But this is [Sand Island]! The combat power of physical strength occupies a huge proportion. ?However, when Laidu came here, he was really unwilling to not see the true face of the treasure! ?So, Miso gritted his teeth and said: "After so many battles, even if he is not injured, he must have suffered a lot of losses." We still have a chance! Keep moving forward! Hearing the order from their employer, the subordinates could only move forward even if they were a little uneasy. But then, they lost their previous good luck and encountered several corrupted creatures one after another. Even with the **** of Brother Matthew, there were still some casualties among the troops. After meeting these monsters in person, the group clearly understood how terrifying they were. Corrupted monsters are generally thick-skinned and difficult to kill. They can also travel short distances in the black mist. Several fourth-level Mystics unfortunately died under the sneak attacks of monsters. Not to mention, monsters also have natural abilities such as violent poison, feigning death, and secret power erosion. Both Matthews felt very anxious and suffered some minor injuries. ?At this time, they finally knew how perverted the guy in front of him who slaughtered the corrupt monsters all the way was! Such a record can only be described as "brilliant"! at the same time. ?Shane had no idea what was happening behind him. At this time, he followed Sha Jingjing to a grave. (End of this chapter) Chapter 217 The entire forbidden land is whispering his name (please subscribe!) Chapter 217 The entire forbidden land is whispering his name (please subscribe!) It is said to be a tomb, but it is actually a forest of simple stone monuments. Most of the stone tablets are made from local materials, chiseled from the surrounding ground and rock walls, and come in various sizes and shapes. Some are even just a fist-sized stone. ?The names of those who passed away are scrawled on it one after another. Among the stone tablets, Xia En also saw a lot of white bones, directly exposed in the air. ?It is not difficult to imagine how many members of the Yongyue Clan were buried here. "This is?" Xia En frowned slightly and looked at Sha Jingjing aside. After approaching this tomb, Sha Jingjings expression became extremely solemn. This is the cemetery of our ancestors. It is said that only by burying the corpses of fellow tribesmen here can their souls rest in peace. Her voice was very soft, as if she was worried about disturbing the souls of her ancestors who were sleeping here. Similarly, this is also the task of every Yongyue clan members coming-of-age ceremony. Only those tribesmen who pass through the forbidden area and successfully reach this cemetery will have their courage and strength recognized by their ancestors, and thus receive their blessings. At this time, Xia En thought of the few corpses he had seen along the way. Sha Jingjing originally wanted to collect the bodies for them, but due to the critical situation, she had to give up. Thats right. Sha Jingjing said: "Those corpses are from tribesmen who failed to pass the test in the forbidden area." Generally speaking, those who come after you have the responsibility to collect the corpses of those who came before you. But in recent years, the forbidden area has become more and more dangerous. Many tribesmen have tried their best just to get here, and they are unable to bury the bodies of their predecessors. The people who are still alive are more important than the people who have passed away. Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood why this cemetery looked so messy. The gravity in the forbidden area is far higher than that in the outside world. Even the Yongyue Clan, who are naturally physically strong, would have difficulty breaking through the ground here, which is as hard as alloy, and burying corpses underground. ?The ability to chip away those large and small rocks is already their limit. Over time, this strange bone burial place emerged. ?The stone tablets that rise one after another in front of us coldly bear witness to the desperate struggle between the Yongyue tribe and the environment and destiny in this barren land for thousands of years. ?Xia En stared at the land in front of him quietly and asked after a moment. What is the blessing from the ancestors? Sha Jingjing thought for a moment, untied her robe and pulled down the collar. There was a pale silver mark on her smooth and delicate wheat-colored skin higher on her chest. ?Shaan had noticed this mark before. Sha Jingjing once took out a dark yellow long bow and arrows from it, which seemed to have functions similar to space equipment. ?Now, after taking a closer look, Xia En saw ?This mark is actually a wolf head pattern. Furthermore, in this cemetery, this mark is still flickering brightly and dimly, as if it is breathing or resonating with some power in the cemetery. However, due to the special location of the mark. At this glance, Xia En inevitably saw some scenery that he shouldn''t have seen. I have to say that although Sha Jingjing is not very old, her figure is fully developed and she is quite promising. ?Under the current circumstances, Xia En naturally had no charming thoughts in his heart. He just continued reading with respect and no disrespect. On the other hand, An on the side could not help but take a step forward, showing a hint of hostility. ?? Tracey sensed An''s voice and her expression was very strange. But when she was about to speak, she saw An''s cold gaze. Tracy had a feeling that if she really spoke out what An was feeling at this time, she would definitely die miserably! ?The little goblin just silently closed its mouth and said nothing. Fortunately, Sha Jingjing is a girl after all, so she is somewhat shy. Soon, she put her robe back on with a blushing face and explained: "This is the blessing of the ancestors." Warriors who receive the blessing will not only have their bodies greatly strengthened, but may also gain some special abilities. Only after receiving a blessing can we have the ability to transform into a giant wolf. In our clan, this process is called...awakening! "I see." Xia En was thoughtful. In many races other than humans, there are ways of gaining power that are different from the Secret Path. For example, the Elvish language of the elves and the blood power of the Balrog clan. ??The growth of Bronze Dragon String Song and the bloodline transformation of the blood clan Fei Ya also belong to similar promotion paths. Hence, for some races, it is difficult to use the level of the secret profession as a criterion for evaluating strength. At this time. Sha Jingjing had a sudden thought: "By the way, Mr. Xia En, if you are really the holy son of our clan, you might also be able to receive the blessings of your ancestors." "ah?" Xia En was stunned by her strange thinking and said, "But I''m not a member of the Yongyue Clan." What if you actually are! Sha Jingjing boldly guessed: "Maybe you are one of our clan members living overseas." I have never seen an outsider with such a strong body that can perfectly adapt to the environment of [Sand Island]. Shaan shook his head. ?With the existence of a race column on the panel, he knew very well that his bloodline was in no way comparable to that of the [Yongyue Clan]. Xia En sighed with emotion: "The reason why I have such a powerful body is all due to my own efforts!" Although there is a little help from [Eye of the Secret Sea]. But the hard work of spawning monsters and leveling, purchasing important components for the [Black Swan], and upgrading the hull...how could it not be his own efforts? Sha Jingjing also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Xia En said, so she just added. Youre here anyway, so just go and give it a try. Even if you dont get the blessing from your ancestors, you wont lose anything. Moreover, Mr. Shane, the injuries on your body... ?In the fierce battle just now, Xia En was inevitably injured. In addition, the black mist contained the filthy nature of "Evil Siming", which greatly hindered the healing of wounds, causing him to look a little embarrassed. Although it has little impact on combat effectiveness, it is not at its peak after all. Perhaps the phrase "Everyone is coming" has a strange magic power, Xia En said after thinking about it. How did you obtain the blessings from your ancestors? Go there! Sha Jingjing reached out and pointed toward the center of the cemetery. I saw an area that looked like an altar there. ?Xia En and his group approached the altar and soon found a totem pole standing on the altar. The totems painted on the pillars are very similar to the textures on the previous [Moonlight Boat]. ?Seeing this altar, An, who was behind Xia En, suddenly stopped. ?Shane looked at Tracy with questioning eyes. Tracy hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "An feels like he has seen this altar somewhere before..." "Um?" ?Xia En glanced at An in surprise. Theoretically, after An is awakened from the post-flood era, his range of activities should only be around the [Duke Island]. Why do you feel familiar with an altar of the [Yongyue Clan]? Could it be said that it was before An fell into a deep sleep? ?While thinking about it, Xia En was also silently observing the altar. ?Not only the totem pole, but also the floor of the altar has silver and blood lines. ?The entire altar is full of a rough and primitive feeling, but there is also a faint aura of dominance in the wilderness. In Xia En''s perception, the mysterious power in the center of the altar seems to be much stronger than outside. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? with strands of strange and mysterious power constantly seeping out of the air, some of which are actually being inhaled by the bones of the ancestors of the Moon Wing clan. The ancestor worship of the [Yongyue Tribe] is indeed unique. Xia En sighed secretly: "But what about this sense of intimacy?" ?On the way to the altar, he felt a mysterious call. ?This kind of call is somewhat similar to the call of [Secret Sea] to perform the promotion ritual, but it is different, but both have an indescribable affinity. Sha Jingjing said: "As long as you step onto the altar, you will be blessed by the souls of your ancestors." Without any hesitation, Xia En finally decided to trust his instincts and stepped onto the altar. The next moment, a sudden change occurred! At the same time that Xia En and others were exploring the altar of the [Moon-Yong Clan]. Misuo and others from the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce finally killed a mutated giant sandworm with great difficulty. ?For this reason, two more fourth-level followers died. Those who survived generally suffered serious injuries. ?Misuo walked up to the corpses of the two followers, bowed respectfully, and then put them into a special space ring. The two of them died for me, and I should collect their bodies for them. ?Misuo turned to look at the other followers and said seriously: "Not just the two of them, I will do this to all the followers who died on the Sand Island." And, I will also give five times the pension to your relatives. This is the promise of me, Miso, a businessman! For a businessman, the most important thing is credit. Misuo''s words made the followers present look slightly relieved. ?The danger level of this treasure place far exceeded their expectations, which also made some people think about retreating. ??If they hadn''t signed a contract when they were hired, I''m afraid many people would have chosen to turn around and leave. Suddenly, Matthew, who was among his subordinates, turned to look at the black mist behind him and said in a wary tone. Be careful, someone is following you. ?Everyone immediately turned around and saw an ugly man with scars on his face walking out of the mist. Gal the Madman! ?Seeing this person, Matthew''s expression suddenly changed. ??Although they are both fifth-level Mystic Pathfinders, the reputation of Crazy Gal is far higher than that of Brother Matthew. ??When Gal became famous, Matthew and Matthew were still two unknown people! Furthermore, as a big pirate, Garr is bound to have a large number of crew members with him. As expected. ?After Gal appeared, several pirates came out one after another behind him. ??What these pirates have in common is ?Has a good aura, ferocious appearance, and a cruel expression with a hint of madness. It is said that when Garr recruits pirates, he will deliberately choose those with psychological and mental problems, which are what ordinary people call "madmen!" This is one of the reasons why Gal is called a "fanatic". Some pirates even called him "the savior of madmen!" ??The man with bandages all over his body looked at Misuo and his group with snake-like eyes, and said in a sinister tone. Captain, do you want me to blow them all up into the sky? Leo the Bomb Maniac! Hes here too! ?Seeing this bandaged man, Matthew and others became more and more nervous. ?Although Leo is only a third-level mystic, he possesses a unique explosive formula that can be combined with his own secret skills to exert astonishing power. It is rumored that Leo''s bomb once almost destroyed an island. ?Other ferocious pirates are all targeting Misuo and others with ill intentions. ?That look in his eyes didnt look like he was facing his own kind, but like he was looking at pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered! Madman! Matthew cursed in his mind: "These pirates are all madmen!" ??He would rather face a few more giant sandworms than deal with this group of lunatics who have no inhibitions. Because the actions of the sandworms can be traced after all, but no one knows what a group of madmen will do in the next second. ?Seeing the smell of gunpowder in the air getting stronger and stronger, the fanatic Gal suddenly spoke. [Tianqi Chamber of Commerce] is an old friend of ours, and the previous cooperation has been very pleasant. You are not allowed to attack them without my order. Hearing this, Miso and the others couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief. But the words of the bandaged man Leo made their hearts hang high. What if they want to compete with us for the treasure? ??Gar said with a smile: "It doesn''t matter who gets the treasure." After all, we are pirates! Isnt it just a matter of snatching the treasure back from them later? Misuo''s face turned livid when he heard this. Anyone who is slighted like this will feel angry in his heart. However, given the strength of both sides, once a fight begins, both sides will inevitably suffer losses, which will also give others an opportunity to take advantage of. Therefore, Misuo simply said to his subordinates: "Don''t worry about him, let''s go!" Subsequently, the two groups of people, Misuo and Gal, maintained a strange tacit understanding and moved forward in the dark fog one after the other. ?The two sides are afraid of each other and wary of each other, as if a war may break out at any time, but they dare not actually start a war. Coupled with the danger in the surrounding dark fog, both groups of people were a little disheartened. In fact. Because of the dull heartbeat before, many outsiders have come to this forbidden area. But they were generally weak in strength and suffered serious losses almost as soon as they entered the forbidden area. ?Only a few people can pass through the high-gravity tunnel and reach the area where the black fog is. ??When they encountered the two powerful waves of explorers, Misuo and Gal, they were all horrified and just wanted to hide away. It can be said that at present, these two groups of explorers are the two strongest forces in the forbidden area. Just after they trudged through the black mist. ?A bright silver moonlight suddenly lit up in front of my eyes! ?This moonlight seemed to span time and space, swaying down from an unknown place, illuminating this dark forbidden place. Soon, everyone saw... Under that moonlight. Surrounded by countless tombstones and corpses. ??A handsome man stood impressively! The huge ancient will turned into the shadow of a giant silver wolf, hovering above his head. ?The black mist filled with malice condensed into **** hands, trying to drag him into the endless abyss. This moment. Even Miso and Gal couldn''t help but hold their breath. Everyone seemed to have only the man bathing in the moonlight in their eyes. At this moment, the man opened his eyes. Endless moonlight, starlight and darkness swirled and bloomed in his eyes. Vaguely, everyone seemed to hear countless overlapping murmurs. ?That is the soul of the ancestors in the entire cemetery, whispering his name Shane! (End of this chapter) Chapter 218 Overall quality 50! Soul power transformation! Chapter 218 Comprehensive quality 5.0! Soul power transformation! Beside the altar where the moonlight shines. Sha Jingjing looked at the scene in front of her blankly, and for a moment she wondered if it was her hallucination. She thought it was true that Xia En could get blessings from his ancestors from the altar, but she never thought that such a big commotion would happen! In her memory, no tribes coming-of-age ceremony could trigger such a vision. ?Taking Sha Jingjing herself as an example, when she received the blessing from her ancestors, only a small patch of moonlight fell on her head. The huge gap is evident. Sha Jingjing couldnt help but cried out with grievance: Ancestor, who is your descendant? ??But then I thought about it, doesnt the performance of the ancestors soul just prove that there is a deep connection between Xia En and the [Yongyue Clan]? Yes! Sha Jingjings eyes shone brightly and she murmured to herself: The prophecy is indeed correct, Captain Xia En is the Holy Son! Perhaps he is really one of our lost tribesmen! ?The girl''s eyes widened and she looked up and down Xia En''s body, carefully looking for any trace of the wolf''s tail or ears. Even Sha Jingjing was so surprised, let alone the other people who came here. These voices seemed to be calling a persons name Xia En! The name they whispered was Xia En. Could it be that man? When everyone is talking about it. ?Misuo looked at Xia En under the moonlight and asked curiously: "Who is this person?" Have any of you heard of it? Most of the followers shook their heads with blank faces. Matthew also said: "I have no impression of this name at all." Only one of the subordinates thought for a long time and said: "Xia En..." I remember, this seems to be the captain of a ship called the [Black Swan] that was jointly wanted by several islands some time ago? His tone was rather uncertain: "This captain''s rank should only be...third level?" Only the third level!? Hearing this, everyone couldn''t help but have strange expressions on their faces. ?No wonder they have never heard of this name. Level 3 Secret Pathfinders can indeed be considered powerful in remote sea areas. But for this group of people, the weakest ones are all the fourth-level mystics, and there are two and a half level five mysticsMisuo can only be considered half of them at best. Where would they pay attention to the news about a third-level mystic? However, his current aura is obviously not only the third level. Matthew made a judgment: "I''m afraid it broke through the fourth level recently." Its just the fourth level, who isnt? The other subordinate couldn''t help but laugh, and looked at Xia En with a bit more greed. Maybe hes just a lucky guy who came here before us and got this benefit. Lord Miso, why not Misuo shook his head: "There''s no rush yet." ??If this Xia En was really an ordinary fourth-level Mystic, he would definitely take action without hesitation. But Miso remembered what he had seen and heard along the way, the devastated environment and the miserable monsters that died... If those results were all left by the man in front of you. Then, his strength cannot be judged by a simple fourth-level Mystic. ?Misuo glanced at Gal and the others next to him with his peripheral vision, and thought to himself: "Besides, there will be people who can''t calm down first." As a boss who spends money, Miso still has this prestige. As soon as he spoke, the followers secretly suppressed their plans to take action, but deep down in their hearts, they were inevitably a little ready to make a move. at the same time. ?Shane has no idea what other people think. He was in a very special state right now, and his whole body and mind were immersed in the bright moonlight around him. Traces of magical and mysterious power poured into Xia En''s mind, as if it was washing and purifying his soul, which was indescribably refreshing. ?This secret power is somewhat similar to the power of [Moon Flower Essence], but there are significant differences. Moonlight Essenceis more inclined to strengthen the physical body. This mysterious power has obvious spiritual attributes, making Xia En''s spiritual power stronger and his soul becoming clearer and tougher. No matter what era you are in, the soul is an extremely mysterious realm. ?Secret treasures that can strengthen the soul are often of immeasurable value. Xia En vaguely sensed that these soul-enhancing powers came from the remaining ancestor souls in the altar. It was like all the secret power accumulated over the past thousands of years was generously gifted to him. ?This surprised Xia En, but also made him feel a little surprised. Why did the ancestor of [Yongyue Clan] treat him, a newcomer, so favorably? Soon, Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the moonlight was still shrouding Sha Jingjing, An and Tracy. This is probably because ?This accumulated secret power was too huge for Xia En''s soul to absorb even if it burst, so he gave part of the profit to them. ?However, it is not difficult for Xia En to understand that Sha Jingjing received this gift. After all, he is his descendant, so some care is normal. How come even Ann and Tracey are involved? ??If the soul of the ancestors is to be selfless, other people present should also be baptized by the moonlight. This is another place that confuses Shane. Gradually, after the intoxicating absorption, Xia En''s soul seemed to be temporarily saturated, making it difficult to inhale any more secret power. This kind of thing that can feed the soul in one breath is probably something most people would never dare to dream of! By this time, his mental strength had doubled compared to before! Suddenly, several lines of information emerged. You have received a gift from the soul of the ancestors of the Yongyue Clan! Soul power is greatly enhanced! Comprehensive quality: 4.615.0! An improvement of about 0.5, which doesnt seem like much. But Xia En clearly felt that the benefits of this soul enhancement were far more than just a short-term increase in combat power. ?His perception, mental resistance, absorption efficiency of secret power, and understanding of the field... have all undergone earth-shaking changes. These benefits may not be apparent yet, but in the long run, they are definitely a good thing. Xia En had just digested these secret powers, and before he had time to feel his own state carefully, he heard an old voice coming from the moonlight. "Lord Xia En, we have been waiting here for a thousand years in accordance with your order." Now, its time to fulfill your promise. Hearing this, Xia En felt at a loss. promise? What commitment? Furthermore, why do the ancestor souls of the [Moon Yong Clan] know their own names? Also showing a very familiar attitude? For a moment, Xia En even wanted to ask these ancestor souls, did you recognize the wrong person? Just when Xia En was puzzled, even a little confused. ??A long whip made of thunder and fire whipped towards his back. ?Several electric snakes flew towards them, but suddenly twisted in the middle, and then flew in all directions with strange trajectories, bombarding the surrounding rock walls. ?But the strange thing is that an electric snake shot at Xia En''s feet, causing the rocks to shatter into pieces. But after the smoke and dust passed, the altar under Xia En''s feet was still in good condition and not damaged at all. ?Xia En frowned and looked back, seeing several crazy-looking pirates staring at them eagerly. Obviously, these pirates saw them absorbing the secret power in the moonlight, became greedy, and wanted to get a share of the pie. only ??I clearly didnt do anything just now, so why didnt their sneak attack take effect? Could it be the moonlight all around? Xia En looked at the inside and outside of the moonlight and found that the boundary between the two was extremely clear, as if...they were in two spaces! Suddenly. ?Outside the moonlight, the black mist seemed to be stimulated by the sneak attack just now, and suddenly condensed into several big hands, grabbing at the pirate who made the attack. What the hell, look at me ?The pirate''s words stopped abruptly. The moment the black mist''s big hand grabbed him, his body began to decay suddenly. After a few breaths, the black mist''s big hand loosened, leaving only a pool of pus and a skeleton. Seeing this, everyone present was horrified. ?This man died too quickly and too easily! In the past, people thought that the moonlight could easily block the big hand of black mist, and they did not take the mist seriously. But when they suddenly revealed their murderous intent, their danger level made everyone tremble. What the hell, Lao Qi died like this?! ??Someone in Gal''s group was filled with jealousy and said angrily: "It must be that Xia En! I''m going to kill him!" His long sword was gathering secret power, and it was so powerful that he was about to cut it out with one strike. At this time, Gal suddenly said coldly: "Stop, the moonlight distorted the space around him." "Don''t waste your secret power. If you''re not in the same space as him, you won''t be able to hit him no matter how hard you attack." Moreover, it will also attract attacks from those ghosts. ??Gar stared at the black fog with deep eyes. He has noticed that this black mist is obviously different from the previous mist, as if it has special activity. In the black mist, there seemed to be a series of shapeless afterimages. They are the true faces of the Black Mist Master. Not in the same space? ??The pirates were startled, and some couldn''t help but ask: "What should we do now? Are we just going to watch?" ??Gar narrowed his eyes, looked at Xia En in the moonlight, and sneered: "I said, no matter who gets the treasure, as long as we grab it in the end, it will be ours!" There is no way this moonlight can protect him for the rest of his life! ?With Xia Ens hearing, he naturally heard Gals words. But he didn''t take it seriously and turned to Sha Jingjing and others: "Let''s go." Sha Jingjing frowned slightly: "Ahead is the deepest part of the forbidden area. Even I don''t dare to go there." The high priest said that it is the most dangerous place in the entire [Island of Sand]. The coming-of-age ceremony of [Yongyue Tribe] will be a complete success in this cemetery, and naturally they will not go deeper into the forbidden area. Xia En blinked and asked in surprise: "Didn''t your ancestors tell you?" Just now, in his ear, the old voice spoke again: "Please follow the guidance of the moonlight." Xia En originally thought that this voice was talking to Sha Jingjing, but he didn''t expect that it was actually his own "voice channel." "ah?" Sha Jingjing didnt know why, her little face was full of confusion. At this time, the moonlight surrounding them changed again, and began to slowly leave the altar and move forward. Xia En did not hesitate and followed quickly. Sha Jingjing and An immediately followed suit. Just a few steps away, the black fog above Xia En and others suddenly dissipated, revealing a clear sky above. At this moment, the pressure in the air suddenly increased, and wisps of gray gas fell from the air like rain. The pressure has turned into reality! The next moment. An extremely huge and cold will swept across Xia En''s body. ?Once in contact with that cold will, Xia En instantly felt as if he was in a vast icy ocean, surrounded by boundless wind, snow and wild waves. ?Compared with this, Xia En''s will is like a lonely boat, which may capsize at any time. But at the same time as this will swept over, Xia En vaguely heard a sigh. As if to say Youre finally here Thats it again. ??Another tone that sounded like he had seen himself before. What the **** is this As Xia En''s thoughts fluctuated, he suddenly thought of a possibility. ?Perhaps, [Yongyue Clan] and this huge will did not recognize the wrong person. But...the encounter between myself and them is actually in the future that has not yet happened! ?Shaan once guessed that he would have the opportunity to go back to the past like the [Emerald Island] Elf Temple. Perhaps this is how his relationship with the "Yongyue Clan" came about? ?Of course, this is just a guess. ?Xia En suppressed his messy thoughts and continued to move forward. Seeing this scene, the two groups of people, Gal and Miso, did not hesitate and immediately said: "Follow us!" That guy definitely knows the information about the treasure! However, as soon as they stepped into the area covered by the gray rain, not to mention the ordinary fourth-level mystics, even the fifth-level mystics like brothers Gal and Matthew couldn''t help but change their faces slightly. Under the sudden heavy pressure, the fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder was almost bent over. ?This pressure is not only aimed at cultivation, but also at will. ?Those with weak will will only have a harder time walking. Haunted! This is the best way to describe their current situation. On the other hand, under the moonlight, Xia En and his group were walking as fast as flying, and their speed did not slow down at all. ?However, the shelter of moonlight is not permanent. The moonlight covering their bodies was actually being consumed rapidly. As the group went deeper, the consumption rate was also accelerating. But weve already arrived here, how could Xia En back down? He saw that Sha Jingjing and Sha Jingjing were slower, so he simply grabbed one of them and then flew towards the center of the forbidden area at full speed. No! He wants to get rid of us! ?This move undoubtedly stimulated the two groups of people behind him. ?Misuo gritted his teeth, took out a special gem from the space ring, and shouted: "Push it to me!" The gem shines brightly, turning into secret power to relieve the pressure on the followers. ??And Garr let out a long roar, and a layer of blood covered all the pirates with him as the center, blessing each pirate''s body. Immediately afterwards, they rushed forward like wolves and tigers, with a fierce momentum. For a moment, Misuo and Gal held Xia En tightly and were not pulled too far apart. At this moment. A charming chuckle sounded in front of everyone. Suddenly, a beautiful woman who made people''s hearts sway came out. It is the sixth-level powerhouseVampire Twilight! (End of this chapter) Chapter 219 For whom is the door open? Chapter 219 Who is the door open to? I was just wondering why its so lively in the back. It turns out...has someone finally caught up? ?Twilight looked at the people who broke into this place and smiled. ?Her appearance is stunning, and her temperament is mysterious and dangerous. When she smiles, she is more like a rose with thorns, possessing a heart-stirring charm. People know her danger, but they still can''t help but feel moved by her. Its the captain of [Burning Gold], Twilight! She actually came to the depths of this treasure place a long time ago! ??Twilight''s prestige is far greater than that of Shane, and coupled with her distinctive beauty, people quickly recognized her identity and showed a wary look. How can a sixth-level powerhouse who is only one step away from becoming a legend not be in awe? Even under the restrictions of [Sand Island], the total combat power that Twilight can exert is far beyond what ordinary fifth-level mystics can match. ??Whether it is Miso, the Matthew brothers, or the gang of Gal, who is always known for being crazy, they all look like they are facing a formidable enemy. They are just madmen, not fools! ??But after Twilight''s gaze swept across the crowd, it seemed as if she didn''t see these fifth-level powerhouses, and directly locked onto Xia En in the moonlight. Little guy, we meet again. ??Twilight glanced at the Sand Jingjing beside him, and said with a smile: "I didn''t expect you to hang out with this [Sand Saint]." "It really makes me sad, sister... How is this little girl better than me?" ?Her tone sounded ambiguous and charming, but in fact it was filled with biting coldness. Even outsiders like Miso can hear the murderous intent in the words. But it just so happens that you two are here, so I dont have to look for you one by one. The blood of both of you is very good, let me think about it, whose blood should be drained first? Speaking, Twilight licked her lips with her tongue. ?This simple action has a strong sense of charm when she does it, and is indescribably charming and alluring. Even fifth-level mystics like Brother Matthew cant help but feel their heart skip a beat and their breathing becomes a little tight. ?However, everyone also learned a lot of information from Twilight''s words. That girl turned out to be a saint among the indigenous people? No wonder that boy can be protected by the moonlight! From the perspective of most people present, Xia En, who is only at level 4, is not worth mentioning, and he only got here by good luck. Twilights words undoubtedly proved this point again. On the other side, Miso thought excitedly: "It seems like Twilight has a grudge against the captain named Shane?" Its just the right time to take advantage of their confrontation to go deep into the treasure place. Just very quickly, Miso discovered He is not the only one who has this idea! Not far away, Gal and other pirates only paused for a moment before continuing to move forward against the gray rain, using the blood as a barrier. ?Seeing this, Miso did not dare to hesitate, signaled the followers behind him with his eyes, and walked forward quickly as well. But the next moment. A cold voice sounded in everyone''s ears. I said...can you leave? You alone want to get your hands on this treasure? ??Twilight stood there, staring at Miso and Gal with her beautiful eyes. A chill suddenly emerged from their hearts. The previous twilight had actually not paid attention to them at all. It was only now that Twilight began to show hostility towards them. Just like that, everyone felt a strong fear, just like...the fear of cattle and sheep facing apex predators. For the Vampires, physically strong Mystic Pathgoers are the most delicious blood food! Feeling this unspeakable sense of crisis, one of Gal''s pirates couldn''t hold himself back any longer and shouted loudly. You stinky bitch, die! Before he finished speaking, he strode forward and rushed toward the twilight with lightning speed. He wears a finger tiger on his fist, and he is obviously a fighter who is good at boxing. ?Under the gravity environment of the forbidden area, the pirate''s speed was not slow at all. He punched out and made a faint whistling sound. This shows his strong physical fitness. ?However, in an instant. There was a "bang", and a **** stream of light flashed in the air. A **** hole the size of a fist immediately appeared between the man''s eyebrows. The man''s body swayed, and he fell to the ground without making any sound. This fourth-level Mystic Path was instantly killed by Twilight with one shot! Exactly in line with that sentence Ten steps away, the gun is fast. Within ten steps, the gun is fast and accurate! ?However, ordinary firearms cannot have such power in the forbidden area of ??[Sand Island]. ?Xia Ens pupils shrank slightly. He noticed that the power of Twilight''s shot was much stronger than before! It may be that Twilight has gradually adapted to the restrictions of the [Island of Sand], or it may be that she has gained something else in the forbidden land. ??But no matter which possibility it is, this is not good news for Xia En. Even with the blessing of the moonlight, he was not completely sure of the twilight. ??Moreover, at this time, Twilight did not attack Xia En directly. Apparently, she had noticed the strangeness of the moonlight and wanted to wait until the moonlight dissipated before taking action. We must get the treasure before the moonlight runs out! ?Thinking of this, Xia En stopped caring about the battle between Twilight and the two groups of people, quickened his pace, and passed through the increasingly dense rain in front. Twilight was not surprised by Xia En''s actions, she just sneered. Little guy, youd better give up. Even if you see the treasure, you cant take it away. ?Shane just turned a deaf ear and moved on. On the other side, Gal saw the corpse of his companion, a flash of scarlet flashed in his eyes, and he asked hoarsely. Twilight, do you really want to become an enemy of our gang of pirates? ??Twilight shook her head: "It''s not that I want to be enemies with you." "Are you...sure you want to be my enemy?" She turned to look at Misuo and his group: "There is also the ''Golden Eyes'' of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]. If you escape now, I can still let you live." ?Her tone was cold and calm, but it also carried an undeniable majesty and domineering tone. This is the spirit of a sixth-level strong man! Everyone knew that Twilight was serious. But they finally got here and paid a lot of casualties and costs. No one would be willing to leave like this in disgrace. ??Gar and Miso looked at each other and said loudly: "If we don''t kill this woman, none of us will be able to get the treasure!" Her strength is limited by the [Island of Sand]. Even if she is stronger than an average fifth-level person, she wont be much stronger! Lets take action together and kill her! Since Twilight is alone, she seems to be weak, coupled with the temptation of [Norwich Treasure]. ??After all, everyone couldn''t restrain their greed, and they all attacked Twilight. ??Gar roared angrily, and long bone spurs extended from his back and elbows, flashing with cold light. ??The originally folded and shrunk sternum and ribs poked out of the skin and wrapped the entire chest and abdomen layer by layer, like a breastplate. ??Amidst these strange changes in bones and flesh, in the blink of an eye, Gal seemed to be wearing a layer of white bone armor. Immediately, he turned into a white shadow and rushed towards Twilight''s face. Miso on the side was not idle either. The rings on his ten fingers all lit up with colorful lights. Light body technique Bear''s Tenacity Power of the Barbarian Bull Martial Arts Concentration Secret Power Shield Auxiliary spells seemed to be free of charge, and were superimposed on Brother Matthew and other subordinates. ?There is not much else in Miso, but a lot of money! At this critical moment, naturally we will not be stingy with such auxiliary means. After receiving the blessings of many magic spells, Brother Matthew suddenly rushed towards the twilight in the gray rain as if he had been given a shot of blood. ?Not only these fifth-level secretaries, but also the remaining fourth-level secretaries also used their own methods to launch attacks. Such a massive offensive is enough to kill any fifth-level secret pather! It can be done at the next moment. Gar, who rushed towards Twilight, flew out and fell heavily to the ground. Even with the hardness of the ground in the forbidden area, a large hole was made. Immediately afterwards, two gunshots rang out. Brother Matthew''s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly used his spear to block the **** light in mid-air. Amidst the roar, Matthew and Matthew took a few steps back. Many fine cracks appeared on the tip of the spear in their hands. ?But Twilight''s footsteps did not stop there. She took a step forward and gently brushed the neck of a pirate with her fingertips. ?The pirate only had time to smell a pleasant aroma, and his head slipped from his neck, bleeding profusely. In the crowd, every time Twilight takes a step, someone will die tragically. But this woman''s expression was always relaxed and calm, as if she was walking in a garden. Gar climbed up from the pothole, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely gloomy. Damn it, this woman has begun to adapt to the environment in this forbidden area. Once she completely breaks the restriction, no one on this island will be her opponent! Misuo also looked pale. He knew that Twilight was very strong, but he didn''t expect it to be so strong that it would almost lead to a crushing situation. If this trend continues, even if all of his followers die, they will not be able to cause real harm to Twilight. But at this moment. ?The moment Twilight took a step forward, a tiny bit of fire suddenly lit up under her feet. Boom! A violent explosion occurred suddenly, and a crazy flow of secret power poured out. Miso looked happy and thought: "It''s Leo, the bomb maniac under Gal!" He actually planted a bomb under his own peoples feet. He is indeed a lunatic! ?However, after the terrible explosion, Twilight still stood there safely without any injuries on her body. Only a corner of the clothing showed signs of being burned. ??Twilight''s expression became colder and colder, her eyes swept across everyone in the field, and finally landed on Leo, who was covered in bandages. Is it you? Very good, I will leave you a whole body. The golden fire flashed in Twilight''s eyes, and then Leo''s bandage quickly burned. Stop! ??Gar who was behind him shouted loudly, and the white bone armor on his body was vaguely colored with blood. Obviously, he used some secret method and was already fighting for his life. Seeing this, Miso no longer held back, took out an ancient book from the space ring, and used his secret power to ignite it, and the golden light suddenly shined. ?While doing this, a look of pain inevitably flashed across his fat face. ?This ancient book is a legacy of the previous era. It is a special composite spell scroll. The method of making it has been lost. It can be said that the value of this ancient book is higher than all the props he used before. ?This time, Miso not only blessed his men with spells, but also used them on Gal and others. Under the terrible pressure of Twilight, the two forces with evil intentions were forced to join forces to fight! And the effect of igniting the mysterious ancient book is indeed immediate. In an instant, it was as if a powerful buff had been given to everyone, finally causing Twilight''s footsteps to be slightly hindered, unable to go in and out of uninhabited areas like before. But nevertheless. ??Twilight still had the upper hand, and neither Garr nor the Matthew brothers could inflict any injuries on her body. Their defeat is only a matter of time. Suddenly, another heartbeat shook the entire island. It was as if a pause had been pressed on the battlefield. Everyone was panicking and didn''t know what was happening. Hearing this heartbeat, Twilight, who had always been calm, finally changed her expression. She turned around suddenly and looked in the direction where Xia En left. Could it be that "Impossible! I stayed there for so long and there was no response. Why did he change as soon as he came?" ??Twilight was so shaken that she didn''t care about the people behind her. She immediately flashed and chased in that direction. ??The pirates and their followers who were lucky enough to escape could not help but look at Gal and Miso respectively. The two of them gritted their teeth, but both made the same decision. Follow me! Now that we are here, how can there be any reason to retreat? Just in the area in front of you, the gray rain turned from raindrops to raindrops, and became more and more dense. Raindrops hit everyone, causing their bodies to tremble slightly, and the golden light after the ancient books were lit became weaker and weaker. Soon, people saw the twilight chasing a figure in the gray rainstorm. ?That person is Xia En! ?However, what surprised everyone was that at this time, Xia En actually walked out of the shelter of the moonlight and walked quickly under the gray raindrops. The moonlight from before was staying not far away, shrouding Sha Jingjing and An''s bodies. This is what Xia En proactively asked the ancestral souls to do. The pressure in the area ahead is too great. If we continue to go deeper, the moonlight will only be consumed faster. It is better to protect Sha Jingjing and the two of them first and let Xia En go forward alone. ?Seeing this scene, everyone was a little shocked. They have all experienced the power of the gray rainstorm. Even they were walking so hard, but Xia En''s pace didn''t stop at all, even faster than Twilight! ??Is this really the physical strength that a fourth-level Mystic Path user should have? At this time, everyone vaguely realized that Xia En''s arrival here was not just due to luck. Soon, peoples attention fell on the two people further ahead. There is an undulating hill there, which looks like a sleeping giant snake. On the top of the hill, there are more than ten huge bone spurs standing upright, the longest one is a hundred meters long. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like a row of towering masts. ?At the foot of the hill, there is a stone palace, which looks rather simple, but as the only building here, it is very eye-catching. ?And at this time, the door of the stone palace was actually open! (End of this chapter) Chapter 220 Reunited with Carles! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 220 Reunited with Carles! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Norwich treasure! The treasure must be in that stone hall! ?Seeing the stone hall with the door open, everyone present couldn''t help but burst into excitement. ?They worked so hard to come to the [Island of Sand] and paid the price of their companions lives and precious treasures, wasnt it just for this world-famous treasure? Right now, the treasure is not far away, so people can''t help but be excited. Several pirates and subordinates could not restrain their impulses and rushed directly towards the stone palace. However, the terrifying pressure that condensed into reality in front of them gave them a blow in the head! ?One pirate rushed so fast that he ignored the horror of the gray rain and was directly pressed to one knee. His whole body was constantly vibrating, and every joint made a clicking sound. In an instant, large and small bone cracks appeared in his body. ??The pirate''s eyes widened, he looked at Gal in front of him imploringly, and murmured. Captain, save me ??Gar looked back at him and determined that he was hopeless. At this moment, a strange shadow suddenly appeared next to the fallen pirate. In the blink of an eye, the pirate''s body showed signs of decay and emitted a disgusting stench. ?This scene shocked several pirates who were preparing to rescue him. Damn it, what is that phantom? This ability seems to be somewhat similar to the **** hand from before? No! Theres more than one of them! Before he finished speaking, people saw strange shadows appearing in the gray rainstorm. ?They barely maintained their human form, some had mutilated bodies, some had weird smiles, and some were simply pieces of rotten flesh. The shadows are somewhere between illusion and reality, with dirty and mysterious power lingering on them, giving people a strong sense of crisis. It seemed like there were countless pairs of greedy eyes scanning back and forth on everyone''s flesh and blood. ?Shaan is no stranger to these shadows around him. They are not real things, but phantoms left over from the past. Just like those Cyclops in the fog on the Island of Giants. ?Perhaps it is the special nature of this forbidden place, or perhaps some kind of strong emotion, which prevents the remaining secret power from completely dissipating, and finally lingers in the human world in this posture. ?It is precisely because of this that these phantoms still possess considerable lethality. This forbidden area is probably an ancient battlefield! An understanding arose in Xia En''s heart: "Those phantoms are the incarnations of the [Apostle of Filth and Chaos] who died here." And their enemies are the ancestors of the Yongyue Clan. ?Beside Xia En, there were also several incomplete shadows, looking at him with malicious eyes. However, beside him, there were shadows of giant wolves one after another, biting, gnawing, or attacking... fighting against those filthy shadows. The two sides fought hard to separate each other and suffered casualties on each other. This is also the reason why Shane can continue to make rapid and steady progress. Xia En became more and more curious: "What happened in this forbidden area back then?" What is the [Norwich Treasure] here that even the [Apostle of Filth] has personally fought for? at the same time. On the other hand, Misuo, Gal and others, without the help of those giant wolf shadows, immediately encountered great resistance after encountering the afterimage of [Apostle of Filth and Chaos]. A lot of their subordinates were already killed or wounded, and some of them died in their hands one after another, turning into rotting corpses. ?However, there is one person who can closely follow Xia En''s footsteps, and his speed does not decrease but increases. That''s the twilight of the Vampires! This woman is indeed the highest-ranking person on the Sand Island at this time. A layer of blood fire suddenly ignited on her body, and she forced herself to fly a short distance against the gray rainstorm, blocking the terrible pressure. The blood fire has a grainy golden color, which is the top talent among the vampiresgold-burning blood! ??The afterimages of the apostles also seemed to be a little afraid of this golden blood fire. The corrupted secret power could not pass through the blood fire and acted directly on Twilight''s body. The two or three afterimages on the road were directly broken and ignited by the twilight. For a time, the distance between her and Xia En was shortening at an extremely fast speed. Got you! When the two were less than five meters apart, Twilight showed a cruel smile and grabbed Xia En on the back of the neck. ??Twilight''s previous threat was not just rhetoric, she really intended to drain Shane''s blood. ?Even Twilight thought about, after catching Xia En, first imprisoning him and draining some of his blood every day like an animal. When you get tired of playing, you can then transform him into a blood slave, or directly hold a grand blood feast with your fellow tribesmen. For ordinary humans, this kind of behavior can be described as extremely cruel. But among the Vampires, this is just a common way to treat prey. To them, how many humans have been hunted is as unknowing as "how many slices of bread have you eaten." Twilight''s grip was so powerful that it seemed as if even the air in his palm was distorted. But Xia En did not dodge, turned around, twisted his waist, and punched Twilight''s palm. Seeking death! Twilight''s lips curved into a smile. ??If anyone thinks that she is only good at using secret firearms, they are totally wrong! Twilight''s body is her most powerful weapon. ?Her body has been strengthened by burning gold blood, and every corner of her body is filled with explosive power. Even her internal organs and bones are extremely tough. ?That seemingly soft and charming body hides a power comparable to that of a Tyrannosaurus! At this time, without the protection of the moonlight, how could Xia En block this grab? However, the moment the fists collided, Twilight''s expression changed slightly. The huge force coming from her palm was far beyond her imagination! After the roar, Xia En stepped back several meters, plowing a deep furrow on the ground with his feet. ?And Twilight was actually forced to take two or three steps back! Seeing this scene, both Misuo and Gal could not help but frown. Even though Xia En is obviously still at a disadvantage. You must know that in the battle just now, only fifth-level mystics such as brothers Gar and Matthew were qualified to fight Twilight head-on. And there are almost no people who can make Twilight retreat! There is a ridiculous idea in the minds of many people. ?The combat power shown in this attack doesnt mean ?Xia En, at the fourth level, has a body that is comparable to or even surpasses that of a fifth-level Mystic Path practitioner? By this time, no one felt that Xia En got here just by luck. "This Xia En is indeed no ordinary person. This kind of talent... can be regarded as a genius." ?Misuo sighed while walking hard. Its a pity that he met Twilight. At least at this stage, he cannot be Twilights opponent. After this fight, Twilight''s eyes became more serious, and her murderous intention became more intense. I admit, I still underestimate you. "In such a short period of time, your strength has improved so much. This kind of talent... is really enviable." "In this case, I can''t let you go!" This will be your burial place! The moment the words fell, Twilight raised the twin flowers and shot them, and in an instant, a stream of light shot out. ?However, black shadows suddenly appeared around them, and the sharp stream of light was weakened layer by layer under the black shadows. When it came to Xia En, it was less than half of its power, and he blocked it with the emerging blood-colored sword. Field? Twilight was moved again. With her rich combat experience, this is the first time she has seen someone display the power of the field at the fourth level! ??The golden fire in Twilight''s eyes continued to burn, and a hazy golden light suddenly appeared around her, like blossoming blood nasturtiums, magnificent and beautiful. This is her [Golden Burning Realm]. Even if it is suppressed by the [Island of Sand] ban, the scope is extremely exaggerated. ?There are blood nasturtiums constantly emerging and blooming in mid-air. Not to mention contact with them, just by looking at them, you have the illusion that the blood is about to burn. Fortunately, Xia En himself possesses the talent of [Blood Power]. ??Although you can''t compete for control of these blood lotuses, at least you won''t be ignited by them to ignite your own blood. In a head-on confrontation, I am no match for her. Even if the second or third stage is opened, it will only last longer. The only hope of life is in the stone temple, the treasure left by Augustine! Xia En''s thoughts flashed, and he fought and retreated, approaching the direction of the stone palace. At this time, the two groups of people watching from a distance were all dumbfounded. Matthew opened his eyes in astonishment and asked his brother, "Am I right?" Is that...the power of the domain? ?Matthew was also shaken, but still replied: "Yes, it is the realm." As fifth-level secret path practitioners, their brothers certainly have their own domain. But in the battle just now, they didn''t use it. ?This is of course not because Brother Matthew doesnt want to use it, but... Can''t use it! Under the special environment in the forbidden area, the consumption of the field of application will be greatly increased, but the power and scope are pitifully small. They will only lose faster if they use the field! ? But in front of me, Xia En, who was only at the fourth level, was actually having an inter-domain confrontation with Twilight? ?This kind of thing is simply beyond their knowledge! ??Madman Gal also completely suppressed his contempt and regarded Xia En as a strong person on the same level as himself. At this time, Twilight pulled out an exquisite hidden sword in her hand, looked down from a high position, and slashed it down with one strike. Xia En met him again with a sword. ?This time neither side spared any effort. The two swords clashed, a shock wave spread instantly, and countless fine cracks appeared. The place where the two people were standing sank more than ten centimeters out of thin air. Twilight raised her eyebrows and said, "What a power! Try this again!" The twin flowers in her hands suddenly bloomed with light, and the two guns merged into one, turning into a long, slender and beautiful gun. Immediately, the muzzle of the gun lit up with a scarlet brilliance. ?Seeing this, Xia En took a deep breath and prepared to use [Double Ship Soul] or transform into a giant to buy more time. But the next moment. Boom! A roar of steam resounded through the gray rain. Immediately afterwards, a white-gold figure, stepping on the white steam, came as fast as the wind and lightning. The terrifying coercion contained in the gray rain and the afterimage of the [Filthy Apostle] seemed to have no effect on her. I can also see a faltering gray -haired man who followed her slowly and slowly, and I do nt know how far it was thrown away. When the steam dissipated slightly, people were able to see the true appearance of this figure clearly. This is a steam rider made of steel, gears and levers! ?That white-gold armor is filled with an indescribable mechanical beauty. ?Her figure has some feminine features, looking elegant and strong, like a flexible female leopard. Such a human-like but inhuman existence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. ??Twilight frowned slightly: "[Platinum Knight]... Carles!" Just being Carles himself, Twilight is naturally not afraid. After all, the other party was once defeated by her. But behind Carles is the Federation of the Seven Seas! ?Her arrival may represent the attitude of the Federation, and Twilight has to treat it with caution. ? But after careful observation for a moment, Twilight discovered that when Carles went deep into this place this time, he only brought a fourth-level mystic? There is no strong support from other federations behind you? Realizing this, Twilight''s eyes flickered. As long as she kills everyone present, no one will know that Carles died in her own hands. ??Although, maybe the federal government will issue an investigation order later. ??But with the federations cumbersome and bloated procedures, by the time the investigation yielded any results, she would have long since stayed away from the [Island of Sand] to fully digest this treasure. "Carles, it seems that you are more naive than I thought." Twilight sneered: "Now that you''re here, don''t leave!" ?Carless ignored Twilight, just looked at Shane and said, "Long time no see." ?Seeing this old friend, Xia En felt happy and said with a smile, "Long time no see." You have become much more beautiful. "Ha ha!" ?The platinum masked man laughed happily: "You have become stronger too!" However, before reminiscing about old times, lets defeat this woman first! Just like last time, get inside me. ?Shaen stepped forward without hesitation: "It''s just what I want!" On the sidelines, Twilight didn''t know what the relationship was between Shane and Carles, but it could be seen that they regarded themselves as common enemies. ?So, without hesitation, she raised the big gun made of twin flowers. The blood-gold secret power quickly accumulated and turned into powerful bullets. At the same time as the streamer was lasing out. ?Carless opened his arms as if to hold Shane in his arms. Then, in the hymn of gears, levers and steam. ? Many parts decomposed and deformed in incredible ways, and then reorganized into a shape that closely fit Xia En''s body. They unfolded layer by layer to form a white-gold armor. ?The moist and hot touch enveloped Xia En''s whole body. The two fit so closely, but there was no discomfort at all. Instead, there was a feeling of being integrated from body to soul, which was extremely wonderful. The buzzing sound of the 32 steam cores gradually overlapped and resonated with Sean''s heartbeat. The surging power blessed him in a wonderful way. After a period of several months. ?Shane and Carles are once again one! (End of this chapter) Chapter 221 Transformation like never before! Kill Twilight! Chapter 221 An unprecedented transformation! Kill Twilight! With a bell-like chime, the meshing of gears, levers and pistons finally subsided. Many parts fit Xia En''s body and were assembled where they should be. In the rising steam, a similar but different [Platinum Knight] slowly walked out. ??The appearance of this armor has changed a lot. It no longer looks feminine. It looks straight and sharp, with a temperament like an unsheathed sword. ??This is an adjustment made to adapt to Carles'' body after he and Shane merged. Not only that, its color is no longer pure white gold. Rather, there are countless dark lines spread throughout the armor, mixed with mysterious and strange bits of starlight. ?The entire armor is both sacred and evil. These two contradictory characteristics are integrated harmoniously into one. As if...that''s how it should be! What is that!? Misuo from behind couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Why is that Xia En missing?" ?All this happened so fast, from Twilight''s attack on Shane, to the appearance of the [Platinum Knight], to the new form of the [Platinum Knight] in front of him, it took less than a minute in total. ?Many people were not aware of what was happening, but were instinctively afraid of this mysterious armor. Their intuition is sending out a strong warning! Matthew stared at the black and white armor in the field and murmured: "Xia En did not disappear, he... put on that armor!" But doesnt it mean that the Federations [Platinum Knight] is arrogant by nature and never wants to let others enter his body? Now whats going on? Just when everyone was astonished. ??The stream of light emitted from the muzzle of the twin flower guns in Twilight''s hand also carried extremely terrifying power, quickly approaching the new form of [Platinum Knight]. This shot was blended into her gold-burning blood. The dazzling blood-fire had the brilliance of broken gold, almost igniting the air. Even fifth-level mystics like brothers Gal and Matthew are not sure they can take this shot. However, when the blood-gold streamer was about to hit the mechanical armor. Those mysterious lines suddenly bloomed with deep black light! ?In the black light, the speed of the blood-gold flow slowed down visibly to the naked eye, as if it had entered a stagnant realm. The power of the streamer is also constantly being worn away and weakened as the black light envelopes it. C Suddenly, in the hum of the steam core. ?A big platinum-gold hand reached out and grabbed the stream of light. Immediately afterwards, his five fingers clenched tightly and crushed it into pieces! ?This scene made everyone speechless, and even Twilight couldn''t help but twitch her eyelids. ?Xia En raised his head, his voice becoming hoarse and dull under the barrier of the mask. Twilight, our battle really begins now! ??The dark lines on the platinum armor are none other than the manifestation of his [Great Dark Sky]. ?Only Xia En, who has personally entered Carles'' body, will understand how comfortable her body is... ahem, how wonderful the state is at this time. ?This is not just as simple as wearing a layer of external armor. Not only the physical qualities are enhanced in all aspects, but also the secret power is increased and the soul resonates. Even the powers of the two realms are superimposed harmoniously. ?Something that you have to say. ?This blessing is very similar to what Xia En felt when he controlled the ship soul of the Black Swan. ?Shaan suspected that this might be a new ability gained by Carles after his rank breakthrough. How is it? My body is amazing, isnt it? ? Carles''s voice directly sounded in his heart: "This is the first time I have opened this completely integrated authority to others..." But your body...eh? Its actually become so much stronger than before? She sounded a little surprised. Although she noticed that Xia En''s strength had greatly improved the first time they met. But in this "completely integrated" state, Carles could more truly feel the heat of his blood, the solidity of his muscles, and the freshness of his breath... It makes the operating power of her steam core a few points faster! ?But more importantly, Carles noticed...the explosive power contained in this body! Compared with before, its like changing from a small fry to a giant deep-sea whale! The overall quality was only about 0.2 at that time, and now it is 5.0, which has more than doubled dozens of times! Carless is backed by the Federation, and coupled with the tilt of resources, it is possible to cross two levels in a row. Xia En, on the other hand, relied on his own efforts to make rapid progress. ??This made Carles marvel, and at the same time he couldn''t help but admire him: "I really saw the right person!" Your potential is even better than I imagined! Thank you for the compliment, but...its about time! Hearing this, Xia En smiled slightly and stared at Twilight in front of him. He also had a lot to say in his heart, but now, he had to kill this old vampire woman first! We are of one mind! The moment the thought flashed through his mind, Xia En''s legs exploded with all their strength. Instantly, the steam core in the legs increased to the highest power, and white steam spurted out. ?The ground under his feet, which was stronger than alloy, suddenly shattered. He tore open the gray rain curtain and rushed straight towards the twilight. Just a fourth-level Mystic...so what if he gets the blessing of a fifth-level [Platinum Knight]? ??Twilight sneered: "Don''t forget, you two were once defeated by me!" ?While speaking, the secret power of the blood in Twilight''s body suddenly boiled, the blood core pulsed strongly, and the gold-burning blood burned everywhere, bursting out with powerful power. She didn''t dodge or dodge, she punched out and faced off with Xia En directly. This is the most primitive collision between secret power and power. Only those who have great confidence in their own bodies dare to fight in this way! An invisible force field centered on the two people exploded instantly. Even the gray rain that brought heavy pressure was temporarily isolated, forming a vacuum zone. The afterimages of the past nearby were directly torn to pieces. Amidst the terrible turbulence of power, Xia En and Twilight stood on the spot. ??Contrary to everyone''s expectations, this time, Xia En did not take a step back, but Twilight took half a step back. Dont underestimate this step. ?This means that, putting aside combat skills and secret techniques, in a simple wrestling match, Twilight actually lost! ?Sha En was beaten by Twilight just now, but after merging with Carles, their physical fitness surpassed Twilight''s. Everyone was dumbfounded. ?Although no one spoke, a bold idea came to their minds Does Shane really have a chance to defeat Twilight? ?That was Twilight who suppressed all of them not long ago! ?After taking half a step back, Twilight also felt a huge wave in her heart. ?At this time, she realized that the combination of Shane and Carles had an effect far beyond that of one plus one. ??Twilight let out a low roar in her throat, increasing the intensity of the blood boiling, and her body almost turned into a blood shadow, wrapping around Xia En. ?Shane''s steam-driven armor collided with Twilight''s delicate hands without giving in, and the air roared. ??The ground under the feet of both sides was also shaking constantly, as if a small earthquake had been caused, which even made Gal and others almost unsteady. ??In this fierce and white-hot fight, Xia En''s chest, neck, waist and abdomen and other vital parts were hit by Twilight more than once, but they were always blocked by the strong armor. ??Twilight''s body was also hit hard by fists and kicks like a battering ram more than once. But with the powerful self-healing power blessed by the burning gold blood, those injuries always recovered quickly and looked unscathed. at the same time. Twilights [Burning Gold Realm] also began to have an impact on Xia En. The air around him gradually gave people a burning feeling, and the blood in his body seemed to be ignited. Xia En had a very bad premonition that once his blood was ignited, he would be dominated and controlled by Twilight. Obviously, this is the ultimate move in the Twilight Realm. It has to be said that as a sixth-level mystic, Twilight''s use of domain power is still far greater than that of Shane and Carles. This cant go on like this. Although our current physical strength is stronger than Twilight, we cannot turn our advantage into victory in a short period of time. It is even more unrealistic to kill a vampire with strong self-healing power. And the longer you stay in this area, the more dangerous it becomes. Therefore, we must break out again and quickly kill Twilight with her unstoppable power. ?Shaan''s brain was working rapidly, and he asked in his heart: "Carles, if my body becomes a little bigger, can you still maintain the fit state?" "sure!" ? Carles said confidently: "My body is actually made up of countless parts and is very malleable." Shaan said worriedly: "I mean, I might become very big!" ? Carles was still a little unimpressed: "How big can it be?" About... more than twenty meters high? How many, how many!? ? Carles was obviously shocked by this number, and his tone was trembling: "Isn''t this too big?" She calmed down and thought carefully before saying, "If I expand my field, I might be able to use steam as a connecting device between parts." Its just that the maintenance time may be short. Then come on! In the current situation, there was not much time for them to hesitate. Xia En even saw a golden blood lotus falling on his shoulder. ?Karlais did not hesitate. A deep sound like the sound of a big bell suddenly came from the chest of the platinum armor. Ring the bell once. Push the lever to activate the piston and pump! ?Countless white steam, centered on Carles'' body, rapidly expanded outwards, fighting and clashing with the golden blood lotus. This is a confrontation between two fields. Toll the bell twice. Press the button and start the engine In the sacred steam, gears, levers, pistons... countless mechanical parts operate at the highest power, converging into a magnificent hymn. Ring the bell three times. Sing with one voice, Praise to the God of Steam and Steel! At the same time, Xia En pressed his wrist and whispered to himself. Transform! ?His and Carles'' voices seemed to overlap at this moment, resounding in the ears of everyone present. ??Rumble ??Xia En''s body was full of energy and blood, his muscles were trembling, and his figure had skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed from the size of an ordinary person to a tall giant. Three meters, eight meters, fifteen meters ??This time through transformation, Xia En has surpassed his previous limit, reaching a height of nearly 25 meters. ??And many mechanical structures also expanded and changed based on his body. ?However, compared to Shane''s body, Carles'' size is still too small. So, she simply concentrated most of the steam core on a few separate parts, such as fists, arms, and joints like knees and elbows. It can be said that she changed from a fully armed full-body armor to a simple set of exoskeleton armor. ?However, the steam escaping around made up for this. ??The hot white steam wrapped around Xia En''s body, forming a unique armor that had never been seen before, barely maintaining the operation of those mechanical parts and steam cores. At this moment, he was like a god, entering the world surrounded by steam and steel. ??If you let Xia En describe it. To use an inappropriate metaphor, he is like... changing from a Kamen Rider to a Gundam! Its simply something that shouldnt be on the same set. ?Gar, who was not far away, stood up in shock, looked in the direction of Xia En, and shouted uncontrollably: "What is this?" Is this the power that a fourth-level Mystic Path user can possess? The eyes of the others were equally horrified and horrified. ?What''s worse, he fell to his knees directly on the ground, trembling and murmuring. Twilight''s body trembled slightly. In front of this giant, her first thought was to run away! Before Xia En could experience the unprecedented powerful feeling at this time, he heard Carles'' heart screaming. You are too big, I can only hold on for 4 seconds at most! Four seconds? Thats enough! Xia En looked at Twilight below him and said in a low voice: "Now, you are the challenger!" ?The next moment, he punched downwards. The terrifying force was like a tsunami, rushing towards Twilight. ?The air wave was the first to collide with Twilight''s [Burning Gold Realm]. There was no loud noise, not even the slightest sound of explosion or cracking. The entire field was like a fragile white paper, torn into pieces easily, and all the golden blood lotuses withered instantly. ??Twilight suddenly spurted out a mouthful of golden blood, her face was as white as paper, she turned around and ran away into the distance. 3 seconds left Xia En followed up with another punch, hitting him like a mountain bearing down on him. ??Twilight raised the twin flowers and fired several shots one after another, trying to block them with **** light. But in the face of absolute power, struggling is in vain. ??The fist wind easily shattered all the flowing light, and without stopping, it rushed directly towards Twilight''s delicate body. The twin flowers in her hand were immediately crushed, and half of her body was crushed into pulp by the strong wind. ?With a strong desire to survive, Twilight used a method similar to flickering and appeared not far away. However, the scorching steam has locked her. Swallowed her remains directly. 2 seconds left (End of this chapter) Chapter 222 [Norwich Treasure] Got it! The heart of the mysterious sea beast! Chapter 222 [Norwich Treasure] succeeded! The heart of the mysterious sea beast! The giant enveloped in steam and steel raised his fist again. Seeing his action, everyone present felt suffocated. At this moment, they felt as if their lives were being pinched directly in the opponent''s palm by Xia En''s movement of raising his fist. Just less than two seconds. ??Twilight, who was still arrogant before, was completely suppressed by Xia En, without even the slightest ability to fight back. How can such power not frighten people? at the same time. Twilight in the steam stared at Xia En, roaring in her heart: "Impossible!" It is absolutely impossible for a fourth-level Mystic to possess this ability! "Why! Why can two of their defeated generals join forces to master this kind of power?" ?After losing half of his body, Twilight''s body grew rapidly and at the same time, some strange changes occurred. ?More and more tentacles grew out of her body, squirming and twisting, constantly forming deformed arms and terrifying human faces. ??The previously beautiful woman turned into an ugly monster in the blink of an eye! This is the backlash from the power of blood! Absorbing the blood of others will also contaminate the broken souls and resentments of the dead from the blood, and they will be hidden deep in the blood and difficult to eradicate. In normal times, these filthy existences would have no impact on Twilight at all. The reason why [Golden Blood] is called the top talent among the vampires. It is because, as soon as the blood fire burns, these negative emotions will be quickly suppressed, and the blood fire will burn even more vigorously. But right now, Twilight''s condition is so bad that it is no longer possible to suppress the physical distortion! The longer a vampire lives and the more powerful a vampire is, the more blood it has sucked. ??Moreover, among the people who were sucked dry by them, there were many powerful secret path practitioners. ?In addition to being more filled with secret power, the blood of these people will also contain stronger hatred and a more determined will! Kill youKill youKill you Twilight, why are you! I hate it so much Hateful whispers sounded in Twilights ears. ?The faces that grew on her body were beyond her control. They opened their big mouths and kept biting her flesh. ?There was even an arm that tightly strangled Twilight''s neck, trying to drag her into the **** that didn''t even exist. A bunch of trash who have been dead for a long time also want to kill me? Twilight was filled with resentment. ?However, before she could deal with these deformed pieces of flesh, the giant shadow surrounded by steam from high up had already arrived again. ?Seeing that figure, Twilight couldn''t help but trembled in her heart. ?The feeling of being helpless and defenseless, like a lamb being slaughtered, was deeply imprinted in her mind, giving her a bone-deep fear. "No match at all...I can never beat him..." But I dont want to die! ?At this moment, Twilight could no longer muster the courage to fight Xia En head-on. ?Seeing that the fist the size of a small mountain was about to fall, out of a strong desire to survive, Twilight screamed sharply. I surrender! "Spare my life, as long as it is what I can do, I will do anything." ?She deliberately repaired her pretty face, trying to make Xia En feel a little pity. Under normal circumstances, Xia En might actually be a little moved. Its not because of Twilights beauty, but because a sixth-level thug is indeed very tempting. ?The sixth level powerhouse second only to the legend is not a big deal in the Seven Seas. Using her as a thug can ensure that Xia En can walk sideways in many sea areas. But the problem lies here too. Twilight is so powerful! It is so strong that Xia En has no means of counterattack at this stage. Once she is left on the boat, it is like a time bomb that may explode at any time. If she is not careful, she will end up burning herself. As long as these 4 seconds pass, she may come back to bite her. So the best way to deal with it is to completely kill Twilight now! ? Many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind, but in fact, he did not hesitate in his actions. ??With the roar of numerous steam cores, the rush of blood in the blood vessels, and the blessing of countless steams, the power of Xia En''s punch reached an unprecedented level. The air boiled like bombs driven by this punch. ?The ground beneath my feet is constantly cracking, and it is sinking visibly to the naked eye. ?Twilight raised her head in confusion, a look of despair finally showing on her face. Until her death, she could not believe that she would actually die at the hands of a fourth-level mystic. ?Xia En retracted his fist, and the twilight that was under him had completely disappeared, leaving only a large pit more than ten meters deep. This is our exciting combo! ?Carlesss exciting voice sounded in Shanes heart. To be honest, she didn''t expect that after merging with Xia En, they would be able to unleash such exaggerated combat power. It can be said that Xia En almost drained her performance. Especially in her giant state at this time, her body was completely filled up, leaving not even a single gap. ?This is the first time I feel this way... Although a good mecha is very important, a good pilot is equally important! ? Carles thought: "Sure enough, the decision to let him enter the body was correct." but ?Feeling the instability in the steam field, Carles shouted hurriedly. "Xia En, I can''t hold on any longer. The field can only last for one second at most!" Hearing her voice, Xia En did not waste the precious last second. He first looked back at the madman Gal, businessman Misuo and others not far away. ?This look from him scared everyone out of their wits. Didnt you see that even the arrogant Twilight was reduced to a pulp by this giant in three seconds? ??I''m afraid that if this giant punches down, they will all die, right? How can these people have the courage to go against Xia En? ?In the face of absolute power, even the arrogant Gal did not dare to act like a "madman". He just lowered his head honestly and prepared for the final struggle. Fortunately, the terrifying giant did not attack them and just said in a low voice. "roll!" Hearing this, some pirates and their followers fled in the direction they came from without hesitation. Although treasures and commissions are good, life is more important! In the crowd, Gal looked at the giant not far away with twinkling eyes. ?He instinctively felt that Xia En''s unstoppable state might not be able to be maintained for a long time. ??If you wait until the other party falls into a weak state, maybe you and others still have a chance to seize the treasure? only ??Gar looked at his companions who were running away in panic beside him, and couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. They have been completely frightened by Xia En. ?Besides, as long as Xia En has the ability to maintain this state for one second, they will be the ones who die! ??Gar hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Let''s go!" On the other side, while Misuo breathed a sigh of relief, his expression also darkened. He had to admit that this operation had basically failed. However, after all, the businessman''s thoughts were different from those of ordinary pirates. Miso thought carefully and quickly thought of a possible way to stop the loss. After that, maybe we can do business with Captain Shane? ?Thinking of this, Misuo''s mind suddenly became active. ?No matter what the [Norwich Treasure] is, if you want to sell the secret treasure, you have to deal with the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce], right? ?Although the profit is definitely not as big as monopolizing this treasure, you can still make something! ??Arent mosquito legs meat? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??Just when everyone had different reactions, Xia En had already stepped on the ground and rushed towards the stone temple on the edge of the hill like a cannonball. The gray rain that seemed heavy to him before is now like real, light rain without any hindrance. This distance of hundreds of meters is just a matter of one step for Xia En. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the stone palace, Carles was forced to release the combined state. Many metal parts peeled off Xia En''s body and were reassembled into the form of [Platinum Knight]. ?Shaan released the transformation state almost at the same time, returned to the size of a normal human, and caught Carles in mid-air. ?As soon as Carles landed on the ground, he staggered and was even a little unsteady on his feet. ?Shaan was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Carles in a weak state. He immediately looked concerned: "Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?" Isnt it because of you? ?Carless glanced at him faintly and said resentfully. That size... is so big and rough that I almost burst from you. ?Xia En looked strange when he heard this. ?Why does this sound weird? ?However, in the final analysis, Carles'' injury was indeed due to himself. Xia En solemnly said: "Thanks to you for helping me this time, I owe you a favor." If you need any help in the future, just ask. The situation this time is different from the previous situation in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] where the two had to join forces. ?Shane never takes other peoples kindness for granted. ??Carles is willing to help out of love, but not to do so is his duty. With the strength of the Federation, it is entirely possible to monopolize this treasure on your own. Do we still say this between you and me? ?Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Carles'' tone was inexplicably angry. ?Xia En looked confused. They say womens minds are unpredictable. Why is it so hard to guess the thoughts of a steam armor? Seeing his expression, Carles sighed and continued: "Am I helping you out of favor?" Furthermore, Twilight is my enemy. Only by joining forces with you can I have a chance to defeat her. Xia En looked at Carles'' body and said worriedly. Having said that, your injury "Don''t worry too much. My physical damage is not serious. Only a few parts are broken. I can just replace them later." ?Carless waved his hand, suddenly changed his tone, and asked mysteriously. Compared to this, arent you curious about what [Norwich Treasure] is? Xia En subconsciously said: "What is it?" "you guess!" ?Under the white-gold armor, there was laughter after a successful prank, as if in revenge for what Xia En had just said wrongly. ?At this time, Shane also discovered another change in Carles She seems to have become...more "human"? While talking, the two of them walked straight into the stone hall without stopping. ?The strange thing is that the heavy pressure from the outside world disappears as soon as you enter the stone hall. ?After passing through a passage, Xia En and the two walked into a hall. The furnishings in the hall are equally simple, with four luminous pearls placed in each corner. ??It emits a faint light, adding a faint light to the hall. ˡ The moment the two of them entered this hall, the heartbeat that shook the whole island sounded again. ? Enduring the intense palpitations, Xia En looked up and finally saw clearly the source of the heartbeat. It was a strange sphere of silvery white with dark green. It carries a terrifying pressure that towers over all living beings, a mysterious aura similar to that of the secret sea, and a vitality that is so vigorous that it is almost overflowing. In addition, it also gave Xia En an indescribable sense of disharmony. Thats right, its a sense of dissonance! ?It is clearly there, but it is out of tune with everything around it. It seems like the whole world is rejecting it. It seems like...it simply does not belong to this world! [Secret Sea Sky Beast!] ?Seeing this sphere, Carles couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Sure enough, it''s it!" Xia En frowned and asked: "[Secret Sea Sky Beast?] What is that?" At this point, Carles naturally stopped being pretentious and explained directly. According to legend, there is a unique creature in the [Secret Sea]. They will travel back and forth between different secret realms and gradually grow. During this process, the hearts in their bodies will undergo strange changes, forming a unique space. This space will grow with the growth of the void beast, and establish a mysterious connection with the [Secret Sea]. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized: "You mean..." Thats right, when their hearts are completely mature, they will evolve into a complete [Secret Realm]! Carles made a surprising statement: "There is a saying that all the secret realms in the world today were born from the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]!" Even Shane was shocked by the information revealed by Carles. At this moment, he finally knew the true identity of the [Norwich Treasure]. ?Thats A complete [Secret Realm]! As long as anyone knows the concept of "Secret Realm", they can understand its value. Why were the vampires so furious and desperate to arrest Xia En and others? Isn''t it because he destroyed the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]? Furthermore, the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] itself is still a decayed [Secret Realm] with little development value. But the heart in front of me is full of vitality. The products, magic potions, and secret treasures inside are definitely not comparable to the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. At the same time that Xia En''s heart was shaken. ??A figure suddenly appeared in front of the sphere in the center of the stone hall. (End of this chapter) Chapter 223 The new home of the [Moon-Yong Clan] Chapter 223 [The Moon Yong Clan]s new home The moment this figure appeared. The surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and Xia En seemed to be on the vast sea, and the world was vast. In front of me is a huge ship with black sails. ?At the bow of this giant ship, which is like a giant sea beast, a tall man with white hair is standing there, lonely but tall, with an aura that seems to fill the world. It was as if...the whole sea was conquered by him and surrendered to his majesty. It is none other than the king of the [Pirate Principality]Augustin Norwich! ?However, his situation at this time was very different from the state in which he lost his fighting spirit and became twilight during the last promotion ritual. Augustine''s beard and hair are all white, and he has a big white beard, but his face is very young and he maintains the appearance of being in his prime. The appearance of the Mystic Pathgoer is related to his state of mind. When the mind decays, the appearance will naturally age. If the mind is strong, the secret power will affect the body, making it look younger. Phases arise from the mind, thats exactly what it is. This is also the reason why the appearance and age of many mystics vary greatly. But due to the change in Augustine''s appearance, Shane couldn''t tell which stage of his career he was in front of him. At this time. ? Augustine turned around and glanced at Xia En. In an instant, Xia En felt that everything inside and outside was being seen through. Except for the faint blue [Eye of the Secret Sea] in my mind, it seems that no secrets can be hidden. ?This feeling is like a basin of cold water pouring over your head. The chill penetrates into your bones. It is indescribably uncomfortable, and it also gives rise to instinctive fear. And this is just a phantom of Augustine''s. In other words, its just a little bit of remnants he left behind. ?At this time, Xia En realized firsthand that Augustine in the promotion ritual was really just a castrated version of the projection. The pirate king in reality is so powerful that he cannot imagine it now! He is worthy of being a ninth-level powerhouse who has faced the gods directly! Fortunately, Augustine only took one look, then restrained his sharp eyes and nodded. Youre fine. But a fourth-level secret path level can have such a strong body, such pure secret power, and even master the power of the domain in advance. "Among the people I know who are on the secret path, there are only a few people who can do this. You are qualified to inherit what I left behind." Hearing this, Shane realized that this Augustines phantom did not recognize him. But then I thought about it, at the time of the [Emerald Island], he attacked in the state of [Projection Body]. In the promotion ceremony, he used the identity of the apostle [John Smith]. ?Besides, its probably impossible for Augustine to know what happened in a promotion ceremony in later generations...right? ??Augustine only regarded himself as a stranger and mystic with amazing talents, and it was natural for him to do so. Thinking of this, Xia En was inexplicably curious. If he took out the [Pirate Crown], what would be Augustine''s reaction? And one more thing. ??If Augustines residual thoughts dont recognize him, who said You are finally here to himself? ??But just as this thought came to Xia En''s mind, he heard the man with a white beard in front of him say. But, look at your breath... Could it be that we have met somewhere before? ??Xia En couldn''t help but be startled. Could it be that in the future, he had contacted Augustine as "Xia En"? ?But if this was the case, how could Augustine not recognize it? Augustine sighed: "In order to prevent a certain plan from being known to the enemy, I took the initiative to delete some key memories." Perhaps, you are in that memory. Xia En''s face changed slightly: "Delete memory?" Planenemies Senior, is the enemy you speak of [Husi Ming]? Hearing this name, Augustine''s eyes became sharp again, and the terrible pressure dissipated again. ??He does not have any ill intentions towards Xia En, but the gap between the two is too big. As long as he does not restrain his aura, he will bring a mountain of pressure to Xia En. ??The abyss-like coercion only appeared for a second and then quickly dissipated. Even so, Xia En couldn''t help but break out in a cold sweat. It seems that you know more than I thought. Augustine''s expression returned to calmness, and he said seriously: "To be honest, this is not a good thing." After all, for some beings, it is possible to be noticed by them just by knowing and chanting their names. If possible, it is best not to mention their names to others. Xia En nodded solemnly: "I understand." Augustine added: "However, since you know the existence of [Husi Ming], I can feel more at ease if I hand this thing over to you." At this moment, Xia En couldnt help but think of the afterimages of those [Filthy Apostles] and couldnt help but ask. Whats so special about the heart of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast], and why do they want to **** it away? Augustine said calmly: "I don''t know." I deleted the most critical part of my memory. So, I can only deduce that this hollow beast heart is a part of the plan. But whether it is an indispensable link or a random thing, only the past me knows. After hearing these words, Xia En''s expression became even more confused. But at the same time, he also noticed a word that Augustine mentioned repeatedly plan! What plan? Is this a plan to defeat [Husi Ming] and drive him out of this world? What role can a secret realm play in such a plan? As if seeing Sean''s doubts, Augustine explained: "Someone once said to me that when the current road is not going to work, you might as well set your sights and hopes on the future..." As soon as these words came out, Xia En was shocked. ?Of course he will not forget that these words were said to Augustine during the promotion ceremony. But why did Augustine know these things in reality? Is it... related to the [Secret Sea]? ??Shaan''s heart was filled with huge waves, but Augustine just continued. So, I did. Perhaps you are curious as to why I want to delete my memory. The reason is simple Im going to die. Augustine''s expression was a little gloomy. He looked up at the illusory boundless sea, with unwillingness, nostalgia, and reluctance in his eyes. There is great terror between life and death. Even a heroic figure like him cannot be completely indifferent in the face of death. ?However, what made Augustine not want to die was definitely not the power in his hands or various material and spiritual enjoyments. But...his ambitions have not been realized, his ideals have not been realized, and his career has not been successful! ?Xia En was vaguely aware of this and couldn''t help but fell silent. Actually, I should have died long ago, on that unknown battlefield. Augustine looked into the distance and murmured: "So many brothers died, only me and a few old guys escaped." "Moreover, the other party deliberately let us go out of contempt and malice." There was a rare sourness in his tone. It is conceivable that the shadow of that battle has always been lingering in his mind like a nightmare. Xia En did not speak. He knew that Augustine now only needed a listener. "During the days when I fled back to the principality, I woke up from my dreams countless times, and even thought about getting over it." But I know that a dead person cant do anything. Only by living can there be hope. So from then on, I made up my mind, no matter how embarrassed or ugly I was, I would survive. For some people, sacrificing themselves for the sake of righteousness and taking the initiative to die is a matter of course. But for other people, they are willing to endure the scolding of others, inner guilt and all kinds of humiliation to survive for the sake of their ideals. Which of the two is greater has been debated since ancient times. Augustine clearly belongs to the latter. Its a pity that this time, my life span has reached its limit. Augustine sighed again: "A living Augustine is certainly formidable." But the death of Augustine will only make people greedy. There will definitely be people who want to dig out valuable secrets from my body and my memories. So, I had to delete the most critical memories. ?Xia En became more and more silent. He thought of the old man who was beheaded in that vision, and he didn''t want to think about how the old man''s body would be treated later. However, there is one thing I still remember. Augustine calmed down his emotions and said calmly: "The [Norwich Treasure] I left behind is actually a gift to future generations." This is the only thing I can do now. "I have only one request. After you obtain this treasure, you must use this secret realm to protect humans when necessary in the future." Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will!" Augustine looked at him deeply: "I don''t have much time, I will take you to see the whole treasure." The whole picture? ?Xia En was a little confused. Augustine said calmly: "You don''t think that the treasure I left behind is just this heart, do you?" After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed, and the surrounding scenery changed. The illusory sea disappeared and turned back into a closed stone palace. ??Rumble All around them, the ground beneath their feet continued to tremble, and the rock formations shattered and fell away. The hill behind the stone palace finally revealed its true appearance. ?That is an extremely huge skeleton! ?After the rock layer soil peeled off, the silver bones underneath were exposed. Those bones were like silver metal, with a mysterious and profound atmosphere. ?To put it bluntly, it is as if it is directly connected to the [Secret Sea], leading to the void in the dark. ?This skeleton is extremely large. At a rough glance, it is at least several hundred meters high and several hundred meters wide, far exceeding any sea beast that Shane has ever seen. Just by looking at the skeleton, you can imagine the terrifying posture of this giant beast in life. This is...the skeleton of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]! ?Xia Ens heart was shaken. The bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] that can give birth to the [Secret Realm] are of course of great value and are definitely an extremely precious material. The moment he saw the skeleton, Xia Ens first thought was ? Can this skeleton be integrated into the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], turning it into the keel of the two ships? If possible, what improvements can be brought to the two ships? To what extent will you be enhanced by [Captains Dignity]? On the sidelines, Augustine said: "I have heard a rumor that outside the [Secret Sea], there is a vast world called... [Void]." It is said that that is the true hometown of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]. Therefore, [Mysterious Sea Void Beast] is also called [Void Beast]. "I once had a bold idea. If a large ship was made from its bones, it might be possible to sail in the [Secret Sea] or even the [Void]." ??Xia En was also shocked by this bold idea, and felt a little warm in his heart. Ship racing in the [Secret Sea]? ? Thinking about it, it seems that it is indeed possible? ?But obviously, if you want to build a large ship that can sail in the [Secret Sea], the skeleton of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is definitely not enough. ??Countless rare materials are also needed. With Xia Ens current net worth, it is obviously impossible to make it up. He immediately gave up this ambitious idea and planned to follow the old method and use this skeleton as a material to upgrade into the "Heart of the Ship". The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step! I would also like to remind you that the bones of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast] have special spatial characteristics. At this time, Augustine said another important message: "Ordinary space devices cannot accommodate its existence." ?Xia Ens face suddenly stiffened. Dont mention it, this is really a big problem. Besides, even if the space ring can hold it, the capacity of his space ring cannot hold so much! Just...an ordinary space device? An idea flashed through Xia En''s mind, and he looked at the mixed silver and dark green heart in the stone palace. ?Isnt this thing just an unusual space device? Just use the heart of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast] to hold its bones... Original decoction? ?Shane had a hellish idea. After a brief rant, Xia En hit the snake with a stick and said, "Senior, please help me put a quarter of the bones into the heart." Augustine laughed and cursed: "You are smart enough to think of letting me help with this." But why only a quarter? Xia En said honestly: "The remaining part is what my companion deserves." ??Without the help of Carles, it would be almost impossible for Shane to defeat Twilight, let alone obtain this treasure. Out of emotion and reason, he would give part of this treasure to Carles. ?These skeletons are also a very important achievement for Carles and can help her obtain more resources in the Federation. In fact, the heart of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is actually the bulk of this treasure, and Xia En has already taken advantage of it. In the distribution of this skeleton, he naturally has to make compensation. ??Moreover, dont think that this quarter of the skeleton is small. It is already the size of a small mountain. It is definitely more than enough to transform the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star]! Hearing this, Augustine nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately you restrained your greed. Otherwise, I will kill you and wait for the next qualified person to come. Xia En felt a chill in his heart and broke out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that Augustine would set a test at this time. Xia En pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "By the way, senior, I have another idea." Can we allow the people of the [Yongyue Clan] on the island to migrate into this [Secret Realm]? This is something he had thought of before. The environment of [Sand Island] is not suitable for human survival at all. If the interior of this [Secret Realm] is not so dangerous, wouldnt it just become the new home of the [Moon Yong Clan]? "sure." This heart is yours and you can do with it as you wish. Augustine smiled and said: "But aren''t you curious about what this [secret realm] is like?" "Um?" ?Xia En was stunned. Before letting them move in, you should come here and see for yourself! ?As soon as Augustine stretched out his hand, Shane''s figure flew uncontrollably above his heart. Suddenly, there was a sudden spin and changes in light and shadow. A whole new world appeared in front of Xia En. (End of this chapter) Chapter 224 The Lord of [Secret Realm]! Plant seeds for the future! Chapter 224: The Lord of the Secret Realm! Plant seeds for the future! Not only was Xia En not unfamiliar with this fleeting feeling, but he was extremely familiar with it. After all, he basically had to do this every time he went [deep sea diving] before. ?However, it is a little different from previous submarines. ??The moment he entered the heart of the Kong Beast, Xia En also felt an extremely huge and cold will, which made his heart beat fast, his blood was restless, and he felt an instinctive fear. Its like...an abyss staring back at me! ??Xia En immediately remembered the several heartbeats he had remembered in succession before, as well as the eyes of the huge will during the heartbeats, and couldn''t help but feel a little horrified. Is this the will of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]? Isnt it dead yet!? ?Only a skeleton and a heart are left, which have gone through thousands of years of baptism. ??If it is still alive, it would be an exaggeration. Xia En thought about it and rejected this guess, thinking. This is probably just the remnant soul of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast], which remains in this heart. Despite this, Xia En still did not dare to relax at all in the face of this will, but maintained a high degree of vigilance. After all, he is now in the heart of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]. If this remnant soul wants to do something, he has no power to resist at all. Fortunately, what Xia En was most worried about did not happen. ?After a brief gaze, the remnant soul suppressed most of its shocking pressure and turned into a silver-white ball of light, approaching Xia En. ?This light group is only the size of an ordinary human head, like a ball of flowing metal. ?At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but when you think about the huge skeleton that is its true body, you can''t help but feel awe. ?However, the next movement of this light group left Xia En a little confused. ?After it floated to Xia En, it neither launched an attack nor communicated. Instead, it moved up and down close to Xia En and observed it in a special way. It feels like... A small dog sniffs around here and there to determine the identity of the person in front of him. But to describe Xia En''s mood at this time, it can only be described as "Are you moved? Don''t dare to move!" After a moment, the silver light ball lit up slightly, and it fell directly into Xia En''s arms, nuzzling him intimately. ?Shaan: He was already breaking out in cold sweat. Who knew that the silver light group would actually do such a thing? But after a moment of careful perception, the light mass is indeed releasing a close emotion, as if it also contains a touch of nostalgia and gratitude? What''s going on? Wait a minute...could it be that like the people of the Yongyue Clan, the will of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] has actually been waiting for my arrival? Xia En thought for a moment and realized this belatedly. Since the sigh of "You are finally here" does not come from Augustine, nor does it come from the ancestral souls of the Moon Ying Clan, it could only be the sigh of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]. ?Thinking of this, even Xia En couldn''t help but look weird. My future self, what have you done? You are indeed here. At this moment, a voice came from the silver light group, more like a thought than a word. Even if you dont understand the language, you can still understand the meaning. "Thank you." I can finally get relief from this. Please accept my last gift. The moment the thought was transmitted, the silver light group twisted and changed, condensing into a strange mark. Finally it landed on Xia En''s chest, right at the heart. ˡ ?Xia En''s heart beat suddenly, and this beat seemed to vaguely echo the [Secret Realm] around him. There seems to be some mysterious connection between the two. ??If someone could overlook this [Secret Realm] from above, they would be surprised to find that at this moment, the entire Secret Realm is trembling. ??More obscure whispers came and went, penetrating into the ears of all the creatures in this [secret realm]. ?Countless birds and animals left their nests in panic, the tall woods lit up with strange lights, and the turbulent rivers set off huge waves... In every angle of the [Secret Realm], mysterious visions are appearing. ?Xia En didnt know anything about this. ?He was just immersed in this strange feeling of heart connection, and felt that something about him seemed to be different. At the same time, several lines of information appeared on the panel. Acquire the status "Empty Beast Heart Seal"! Quality: Legend Description: The gift given by the Mysterious Sea Sky Beast at the end of its life allows you to establish a mysterious connection with its heart. You can put this secret realm into your heart seal and carry it with you. In addition, when you are in the secret realm, you will be blessed by the will of the secret realm. Luck is greatly improved, and combat ability is slightly improved. As your exploration of this secret realm increases, the effect of this status will continue to increase. Perhaps one day, you can become the master of this secret realm through this? Current exploration degree: 0%! Note: Exploring secret properties, opening up territories, mining minerals, etc. can increase the degree of exploration. Hissthis After seeing these descriptions clearly, Xia En took a slight breath. The effect of this state was even more amazing than he thought. ??If he guessed correctly, the so-called "blessing by the will of the secret realm" is actually the "blessing of luck" in some novels! Just like those legendary "children of luck", they are naturally favored by the world and are more likely to have adventures than ordinary people. Although the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] is only limited to this [secret realm], the blessing it brings is definitely considerable. ??Moreover, looking at this description, this ability will be enhanced as he develops the [Secret Realm]? Not bad, really good. A smile appeared on Xia En''s lips, and he thought in a funny way: "Does this count as...carrying a small world with me?" Carrying a [secret realm] with you that can be developed, isnt that just traveling with you? Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, looked at the silvery white light in front of him, and said sincerely, "Thank you." After leaving the brand on Xia En''s heart, the brilliance of the silver-white light gradually dimmed and began to decompose and dissipate. Finally, a voice sounded in Xia En''s heart. I hope you and I can meet again in the secret sea... Soon, the silver-white light group disappeared, and Xia En felt inexplicably lost. ??Although it was the first time for him to see the remnant soul of this empty beast, the other party''s kindness was sincere. ?Xia En is inevitably a little curious, what will it be like when they meet in the future? And how long will it take? ?Xia En took a deep breath and calmed down the distracting thoughts in his mind. With a sudden breath, he quickly noticed the changes in his surrounding environment. The air is slightly humid, the temperature is pleasant, neither high nor low, and it contains a strong vitality. ?This fresh smell can only appear in places with dense vegetation. Xia En looked around. A world completely different from the [Island of Sand] came into view. The first thing you see is a green grassy valley. Unnamed grasses are spread all over the valley, and it is dotted with many small white flowers that Sean has never seen before. Looking further ahead, there is a large clear lake. Xia En came to the lake and stretched out his hand to test. The water was actually warm, indicating that there were hot springs or lava under the valley. There is a kind of white fish in the lake, which is thicker than an arm. Judging from its agile appearance, it must taste delicious. On the other side of the lake, there is an unusually tall forest. ?The trees are lush and green, and the area is so wide that you cant see the end at a glance. ?Farther away, there are seemingly connected mountains, surging rivers, and vast plains. ?Judging from the scenery Xia En looked at, the area of ??this [Secret Land] was larger than [Sand Island]. only The whole secret realm gave Xia En a feeling of familiarity and strangeness. What is familiar is that there is also the sun in the sky, and the valleys, mountain peaks, and forests also look specious. The strange thing is that Xia En doesn''t know every creature here. ?Having been around the Seven Seas for so long, Xia En is no longer the rookie captain who recklessly went to sea, and he has already memorized the common species in the world. He could not recognize any of the creatures in the [Secret Realm], which could only mean that they were all native species of this world. Based on this alone, the value contained in this [Secret Realm] is surprisingly great. The climate conditions here are very suitable for human settlement. Xia En''s heart was filled with excitement: "Moreover, the concentration of secret power in the air here is not low, which means that there must be a lot of extraordinary materials produced here." Plants and minerals infiltrated by the secret power will undergo subtle transformation. In the final analysis, this is where those alienated sea beasts in the sea come from! "but" ?Xia En looked at the sky above the tall forest. ?There, a large number of birds rose into the sky and hovered over the forest, as if they were frightened in some way. Whats going on? Could it be that some terrible creature has awakened? ?Xia En didnt realize that he was the initiator, so he just speculated seriously. Also, with the vitality and concentration of secret power in this secret realm, some powerful native creatures are bound to be born. In fact, the vitality of this [Secret Realm] can only be described as an exaggeration. Even richer than the [Emerald Island] where the Elven Sacred Tree is located where Shane has been. "etc" ?Xia En frowned suddenly. ?According to Sha Jingjing, [Sand Island] used to be an island full of life, but now it has become this dead look. Could it be that the vitality in this [Secret Realm] was sucked from the [Island of Sand]? ?So, what role do [Secret Sea Sky Beast], [Filthy Apostle] and the future self play in this? ?Just thinking about this issue for a moment, Xia En felt a headache. He currently knows too little information to draw any conclusions. ?However, one thing is for sure - This secret realm is very suitable for becoming the new home of the [Moon Yong Clan]! Furthermore, it can be expected that this [Secret Realm] can also bring very rich output, and the income is extremely amazing. But then again, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time and energy for Xia En and a few crew members to develop such a large [secret realm]. This is not conducive to Shane''s job. He is a captain after all, and his main occupation is sea exploration and submarine search for underwater ruins. So, Xia En thought about it carefully and came up with a good idea Collaborate with [Yongyue Clan]! The [Yongyue Clan] built villages in the [Secret Realm], cultivated farmland, and constantly explored other areas of the [Secret Realm]. ??Xia En traded with them using supplies from the sea, including equipment, weapons, food... "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "In this case, don''t I have a private army?" The people of the [Yongyue Clan] are not ordinary civilians. Based on their bloodline and physical fitness, they can basically be regarded as soldiers. ??If coupled with advanced equipment... Such a group of forces cannot be ignored. ?Especially when facing a hostile force with a large number of people, if Xia En suddenly releases this group of men, it may be able to achieve a surprise victory. "By the way, the captured pirates can also be stuffed here to serve as slaves and coolies..." ?Xia Ens eyes became brighter the more he thought about it, and he murmured to himself. And the seeds in [Coral City] and [Ember Treasure] should be able to thrive in this [Secret Realm]. I remember that there were many excellent food crops among those seeds Sure enough, it still has to be farming! ?Out of the simplicity of the Chinese soul, Xia En was very interested in the farming project and felt that it had great potential. When thinking of seeds, Xia En inevitably thinks of something that has been placed in the space ring for a long time The seeds of [Crimson Ancient Tree]! Of course, Xia En has not forgotten this seed, but he has never found the right opportunity and place to plant it. At the moment, this [Secret Realm] perfectly meets the environment that the seeds need. Suitable climate, abundant secret power. ?Furthermore, with Xia En''s protection, this seed will definitely be able to thrive here, without having to worry about encountering disaster before it grows. ?Thinking of this, Xia En took out the dark red seeds without hesitation. Senior, what do you think...of this place? ?As if hearing Xia En''s voice, the crimson seed trembled slightly, and the soul within it woke up. The vigorous vitality all around also accelerated this process. Immediately, the crimson seeds fell on the ground at Xia En''s feet, moving downwards and soon being buried deep under the soil. After a while, a small sprout emerged from it and began to grow slowly but surely. Seeing this, Xia En felt happy and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally settled a matter in my mind. ?At this moment, a quarter of silver-white skeletons appeared out of thin air in the valley. Shortly afterwards, Augustine''s figure also came to Xia En. At this time, this afterimage has become very light. ?This made Xia En a little sad. After all, some of the traces of the pirate king in this world have disappeared. Augustine stared at Shane and said, "I have two final reminders." You can go to a person named Salary, he will be one of the helpers against the gods. Secondly, be careful of the [Truth Society] As soon as the words fell, Augustines figure disappeared into thin air. (End of this chapter) Chapter 225 【Black Swan (3)! 】【Rhine Secret Realm】 Chapter 225 [Black Swan (+3)! Rhine Secret Realm ?Xia En felt a little strange after hearing the last two reminders given by Augustine. "Salary" obviously refers to the legendary King of Salary. But the problem is that Augustines time is too far away from now. Augustine obviously didnt know that the King of Salaries, for whom he had high hopes, had fallen into the dust of history, and only the [Ember Treasure] was still emitting residual heat. ?At this time, Xia En suddenly remembered King Xins evaluation of Augustine in [Ember Shelter] Just a mortal king born in an era without me. It can be seen that King Xin still has a certain contempt for Augustine. Augustine, on the other hand, paid great attention to this later king. ?In Sean''s view, it was still the deeds done by Augustine, with more of a kingly demeanor. But then I thought about it, maybe Xin Wang was still relatively young when he made that comment. It is normal for young people to be a little more energetic. ?Him secretly comparing the words and deeds of the two old kings, Shane thought of Augustine''s second reminder and murmured solemnly. [Truth Society]its them again. He had had several contacts with the Truth Society before. The more you get in touch with it, the more mysterious and weird you feel about this organization. At this time, Augustine once again showed his fear of the [Truth Society], and once again sounded the alarm to Sean. However, based on what happened during the last promotion ritual, it seems that [Truth Society] and [Huisi Ming] are not on the same team? Is there another **** standing behind them? Or, is there something more terrifying than a god? ?After thinking about it, Xia En silently remembered these two reminders in his heart, and then with a thought, a door made of silver light appeared in front of him. This is the ability he naturally mastered after obtaining the [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. To put it bluntly, it is to open the door between the [secret realm] and the real world. ??Although Twilight is dead, there are still many trivial matters waiting for Shane to deal with. Time flies by. In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the battle in the forbidden area of ??[Sand Island]. ?Due to the lag in news from the Seven Seas. Even though the [Norwich Treasure] has been captured by Shane, many pirates and speculators still came to the [Sand Island] to try their luck. However, they did not find the treasure, but encountered ships from the Federation. ?These federal manpower seemed to have been urgently dispatched from the nearby sea area to transport some kind of precious and large items. ?Seeing this scene, the treasure hunters who came to [Sand Island] couldn''t help but sigh. Obviously, [Norwich Treasure] has been taken over by federal officials! ??If faced with ordinary pirates and forces, the treasure hunters might have some twisted ideas or even directly rob them. But thats the Federation of the Seven Seas! The real overlord of this vast ocean! ?Even the craziest pirate would not dare to stroke this tiger''s beard. As for the previously menacing "Crazy Pirates" and the "Gemstone" of the "Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce", they all calmed down in unison. The Outlaw pirate ship left the [Sand Island] directly, and even sailed away from the [Magnetic Sea Area]. The merchants of the [Gemstone] began to cautiously contact the Federation, intending to do a big business. The reactions of these two forces also confirmed from the side The battle for [Sand Island] [Norwich Treasure] has come to an end. Those who came late didnt even smell the broth, not to mention eating meat! ?At this point, many speculative treasure hunters inevitably felt a little regretful, but at the same time, they also heard a somewhat incredible news. The captain of [Burning Gold], a sixth-level strong man, Twilight of the Vampire Race, died on [Island of Sand]! At first, many pirates expressed strong doubts about this. How could a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, who was only under the legendary rank, die here so easily? Until they saw with their own eyes the [Burning Gold] approached the Federation ship in a tragic manner, and after receiving an answer that was not an answer, left the [Sand Island] in despair. ?This news is quite explosive. But in the eyes of most people, this was probably the work of the Seven Seas Federation. ?Only the Federation has the strength to easily kill a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, right? ?However, among a very small number of people, there is still news that Twilight died of a captain named "Shane". Compared with these major events, there have been some small changes that ordinary people have not noticed on [Sand Island]. For example The natives scattered throughout the [Island of Sand] seemed to have suddenly become invisible and rarely appeared on the island. ?The gathering places where the natives gathered became deserted, and the valuable objects in them were also evacuated overnight. Although outsiders were a little curious about this, they did not pay much attention. After all, what does the life and death of a group of strange natives have to do with them? ?Only a few people in the federation discovered this phenomenon, but after reporting it to their superiors, they received a "don''t care" reply. ?As a result, the natives of [Sand Island] soon became a race that only existed in legends. Their disappearance does not seem to have caused even the slightest ripple in history. If the natives continue to live on [Sand Island], they might really end up like this. But the current situation is... Inside [secret realm]. The previously beautiful valley has changed its appearance. A rudimentary village was established in the middle of the valley. The materials for building houses were all local wood. ?These woods are much tougher than ordinary trees but very light in weight. They are excellent building materials. Everywhere in the village, people of the [Yongyue Clan] who took off their yellow robes could be seen. They are each busy, some are repairing newly built houses, and some have just returned from hunting and are dealing with strange and fresh prey. Some are using existing materials to create some primitive and crude tools. But no matter what they were doing, the eyes of these Yongyue tribe members were all bright. That is the hope for a new life and the future! This situation is in sharp contrast to the desperate and confused atmosphere in the tribe before. Its amazing. In just ten days, this place has been completely transformed. On a hill near the valley, the white-gold Carles looked down and couldn''t help but sigh. As expected of you, Xia En. Xia En on the side shook his head: "Actually, this has nothing to do with me." The people of the [Yongyue Clan] are hard-working, conscientious, good at enduring hardships, and possess the wisdom of working people. However, they did not have a good environment and conditions to build their homes before. "And I just helped them and made a small contribution." Carles smiled and said, "Why didn''t I know you were so good at talking before?" Thats because our previous relationship was not close enough. Xia En smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "If you don''t mind, we can actually have some more in-depth communication." Well, it turns out you are waiting for me here! ? Carles heard the subtext of Shane, but also responded straightforwardly. "The Federation has been very kind to me. For example, the materials for strengthening the body this time were actually provided by the Federation." "In addition, my... father also needs my help, so I can''t be your crew member." In fact, the relationship between Carles and the Federation is quite special. At the earliest, Carles was actually regarded simply as a tool. But after she awakened her sense of autonomy, the Federation had to regard her as an independent Mystic Pathfinder. The materials used to strengthen Carles from the third level to the fifth level are naturally provided by the Federation - this is actually equivalent to an investment. The Federation will make such an investment in many Secret Pathers and require them to reward them with military exploits later. It means that the Federation is optimistic about your potential, and it is also regarded as a welfare system under the Federation. ??The difference between Carles and other secret seekers is that she received far more investment than ordinary people! On the one hand, this is due to her instrumental properties. On the other hand, it is the "father" in her mouth. That is...the secret pather who created Carles, the seventh-level legend, Colonel Gold! ?Even if three-quarters of the skeleton of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] was worth a huge amount of military exploits, it would be impossible for Carles to leave the Federation. ?However, Xia En was just able to hit the target with all the dates he had, so he didnt have high hopes, so naturally he wouldnt be too disappointed. He just sighed: "What a pity." I thought I could continue to fight alongside you. I have to say that the feeling of being one with Carles is really extraordinary and wonderful. ?The moist and warm steam, the firmness that sticks to the skin... Once you experience it once, you will never forget it. Besides, compared to the combat power of the sixth-level Mystic Path, even if it only lasts for three or four seconds, it is still amazing! ?Carless was obviously a little regretful, but her rationality still defeated her sensibility and said: "It doesn''t matter, I believe we will see each other again." By then, I will definitely become stronger, and I hope you will too. Xia En nodded solemnly: "There will be a day." Speaking of which, have you become stronger again? ? Carles felt Xia En''s aura and asked curiously: "In just a few days, I feel that you have become different again." Xia En nodded: "It''s just a small improvement." In the past ten days, he himself has not been idle. ?After gathering the materials, Xia En decisively upgraded the hull for the third time! The core material is exactly a part of the bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]! Black Swan (+3)! Comprehensive quality: 5.05.3! What an enviable talent! At this time, Carles said in a joking tone: "If you tell me the news about this [Secret Realm], aren''t you afraid that I will report it to the Federation?" Isnt such a big [secret realm] enough to tempt many people? ?Shaan smiled and said, "I believe you." And, if I insist on saying so, you already have a share of this [Secret Realm]. ?Carless was quite impressed by these words, and after humming twice happily, he said. To tell you the truth, the value of this [Secret Realm] to the Federation may not be as great as that of the hollow beast skeleton. ??Xia En was a little surprised: "How do you say that?" Carles said frankly: "In recent years, the Federation has actually discovered dozens of entrances to very large secret realms. Just exploring these secret realms, our manpower is already somewhat stretched." There is really no extra manpower to explore new secret realms. Even if we obtain this secret realm, we will probably sell it to other organizations that are capable of receiving it. It is precisely because of this that I am the only fifth-level secret pather sent by the Federation to compete for the treasure. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be surprised. Dozens of very large [secret realms]? There are actually so many? ?No wonder the power of some powerful people in the Federation is showing signs of shrinking. Now that I think about it, most of them have gone to the [Secret Realm] to open up territories. It is conceivable that once the output of these [secret realms] is fully digested, the strength of the Federation will usher in another round of surge. But Xia En was inexplicably worried. Is it really just a simple coincidence that so many [secret places] have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in such a short period of time? After thinking about it, Xia En suppressed the worries in his heart. ??This kind of thing should be considered by the strong men in the federation, and it is not the turn of a small fourth-level secret path practitioner like me to worry about it. Only by becoming stronger can it be possible to get involved in the real secrets of the world. At this time. Sha Jingjing and several older high priests came over. Lord Holy Son! Sha Jingjing respectfully reported: "All members of the [Yongyue Clan], a total of 746 people, have all moved into this [Secret Realm] and can leave [Sand Island] with you at any time." As he spoke, Sha Jingjing glanced at Carles next to him with some hostility. ??Although Xia En didn''t know where her hostility came from, he still wisely didn''t pursue it and said. You did a good job. However, I should have said it many times, dont you need to call me Holy Son? On this point, Sha Jingjing was extremely determined: "But the Holy Son is the Holy Son." The other high priests looked at Xia En with fanatical eyes and said extremely seriously. You have proven with your actions that you are the Son we are waiting for in the prophecies, and you will lead us to a new future. Feeling the teasing look in Carlisle''s eyes, Xia En felt increasingly helpless. He brought the [Moon Yong Clan] into a vibrant secret realm, which once again confirmed the authenticity of the prophecy. He couldn''t even refute it. ??But the identity of this "holy son" is not all bad. At least, Xia En doesnt have to worry about the loyalty of the [Yongyue Clan]. If used properly, these 746 Yongyue tribe members will become his most reliable force. ?However, it can also be seen from this number that the situation of the Yongyue Clan is indeed precarious. For a pirate group, this number is astonishingly large. But for a race, it is really pitiful. Xia En put aside his distracting thoughts and said, "I''m just not used to the title ''Holy Son''. Can you change it to another one?" The high priest said seriously: "Okay, Lord Holy Son." ?Shaan: Speaking of which, Lord Holy Son, since we are leaving [Sand Island] today. Another priest asked carefully and respectfully: "Can you please give us a name for our new home?" "name?" ? Thinking about it carefully, we cant always call this world Secret Realm. While thinking about it, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat, the mark on his chest lit up, and a name naturally popped up in his mind. That is... the real name of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]! Rhine! Just call it...[Rhine Secret Realm]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 226 The first [Huiyao Meeting] Chapter 226 The first [Huiyao Meeting] [Rhine Secret Realm]. After spitting out this name, Xia En felt a strange feeling in his heart. It seems that the connection with the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] has become closer, and it seems to have been recognized by this [Secret Realm]. Secret Realm Exploration Speed ??+5%! Current exploration degree: 5.1%! Seeing the two lines of information popping up in front of him, Xia En raised his eyebrows sharply. Directly increased exploration by 5%? In Xia En''s opinion, this degree of exploration is equivalent to the degree of development of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. At the same time, according to the effect of [Empty Beast Heart Seal], the higher the degree of exploration, the higher the blessing he will receive in this world. If it reaches 100%, maybe... he can really become the master of this [Secret Realm]? ?However, the efforts of the Yongyue clan members in the past ten days have only increased the exploration rate by 0.1%. You can see the vastness of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Exploring and developing the secret realm is destined to be a long process. Giving a name can directly increase the exploration degree by 5%, which is an unexpected surprise. Rhine! What a great name! Sha Jingjing showed an excited expression. This is the name of their new home, of course it has great significance! ??The reaction of several high priests was even more intense. They knelt down on one knee and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Holy Son, for the name!" We will be your sharpest spear and open up the territory of [Land of the Rhine] for you! ?Xia En couldnt help but twitch the corner of his mouth. No matter how many times he saw it, he was still a little uncomfortable with the fanatical attitude of the Yongyue people. ?Xia En was planning to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and gave an order. By the way, you must take good care of the small tree in the middle of the valley. As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the valley, where there was a short tree about two meters tall, with dark red bark. It is the [Crimson Ancient Tree] after rebirth! ??Due to the excessive vitality in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is growing better than Xia En expected. It has grown to this height in ten days. As long as you give it enough time, it may not be impossible to return to its peak state in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Hearing this, the high priests responded one after another: "I will obey your instructions." One of the high priests sensed the importance that Shaan attached to the sapling. ?He had personally touched the sapling and noticed the extraordinary secret power in it, so he had some other thoughts in his mind. Since the Holy Son attaches so much importance to this small tree, you might as well...'' Think of it as the sacred tree of the Moon Yong Clan? Since we have complied with the orders of the Holy Son, we can still get the protection of this tree. ??If Xia En knew what he was thinking, he would definitely show a very strange expression. Crimson Ancient TreeObviously has a deep connection with the Vampire Clan, so how come it has now become the sacred tree of a group of werewolves? ?However, Shane was unaware of this bold idea. ??He really couldn''t stand the fervent eyes of the werewolves. After a few simple instructions, he and Carles left the [Rhine Secret Realm]. ?Stepping out of the gate made of silver light, the two came to the coast of [Sand Island]. Not far away, several federal ships were docked there. Many secret travelers are carrying some metal boxes made of alloy back and forth in an orderly manner. Inside that are the cut bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]. Since this special skeleton cannot be loaded into the space ring, the Federation Mystics had to use this clumsy method to transport it. As expected. ?After receiving such a large share of credit, Carles'' career in the Federation will definitely be smooth sailing. In the future, we will continue to receive investment from the federation, and our strength will definitely not grow slowly. Xia En sighed with emotion: "Maybe next time we meet, you will already be a truly legendary strongman." ? Carles could not deny it and said with a smile: "Why do I think you will be promoted to legend earlier than me?" Then she changed the topic. I got the news that after returning this time, I should take up a position in [Liu Li Island]. After that, Im afraid there will be very few sea missions, and there will be even fewer opportunities to meet. Liu Li Island This name was not unfamiliar to Xia En, but it was very familiar to him. The reason is simple. ?This island is one of the core islands of the Seven Seas Federation! The Federal Parliament, the Federal Court, the Federal Research Institute, and an entire advanced and developed city are all located in today''s [Liuli Island]. ?90% of the residents on the island are secret travelers, and there are also several sixth- and seventh-level powerhouses sitting on the island. It can be said that [Liuli Island]''s status in the federation is equivalent to the capital of a country, and it is the economic and cultural center of the entire federation. So much so that this island is also known as the brightest star on the Federal Star Wave Flag. ?There, developed ports transport and trade goods worth tens of thousands of gold dragon coins every day, and the commercial system is extremely developed. ??The latest steam technology, magic pattern props, and various secret techniques have collided with new sparks on the island, turning them into nutrients for the growth of the huge collective of the Federation. ?Countless dream chasers are going there one after another, just to leave their mark on this "golden land". ??So, Carles'' transfer to [Liu Li Island] is like being promoted from a small county town to the capital city. It is undoubtedly a great thing. Only secret travelers who are truly valued by the federation have this kind of treatment. also illustrates her promising future from the side. Xia En said sincerely: "Congratulations!" ?But Carless focus seemed a bit strange, she continued. Dont worry, I am a very dedicated mechanical armor. Even if you die, I will not let anyone other than you enter my body. ?Shaan: If you need any help, you can contact me at any time. For example, in developing materials for [Ryan Secret Realm], I think there is a lot of room for cooperation between you and the Federation. Facing Carles''s advice, Xia En straightened his expression. I will consider it. After thinking about it, if this [Platinum Knight] reaches a high position within the Federation, then wouldnt he be considered someone above? At this time, on the sea not far away, a three-masted sailboat with a black swan carved on the bow was sailing towards the coast. ?Seeing the ship, Carles let out a burst of steam from under his visor and said like a sigh. Its time to say goodbye. If you are free, I hope you can come to [Liu Li Island], I will wait for you there! Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will definitely go!" ?After receiving a positive reply, Carles waved his hand generously and walked towards the direction of the federal ship. Not long. The Black Swan docked at the coast. Compared with more than ten days ago, the [Black Swan] at this time has changed a lot. After using the bones of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast] as the main material to strengthen it, its width and length have not changed much, but its height has increased. To be precise, the part of the hull below the sea surface has become longer. Considering that the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is a creature from the [Secret Sea], it may prefer the environment under the sea. The main color of the entire ship is still pitch black with a touch of silver, and stars and magic patterns are dotted on the hull. The difference is. The feeling of [Black Swan] seems to have become a little more illusory, like a transparent and hazy phantom. ?It is there, but it seems to be in another space that is difficult to reach. If you dont look carefully, you may even subconsciously ignore its existence. The reason why the color of the hull has not changed much. This is because more bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] were directly used to strengthen the keel deep in the hull. ?If someone comes to the depths of the cabin, they can see that the skeleton originally engraved with profound runes has a strong silver color. The mutated keel not only absorbs the secret power in the sea water all the time, but also brings space-related abilities to the [Black Swan]. The enhanced information at that time is as follows. The main body of "Black Swan" has been strengthened successfully! Durability limit +100! Sturdiness +10! Mystery +10! Comprehensive quality: 5.05.3! Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Void Beast Skeleton", the effect of the trait "Secret Power Aggregation" has been improved! Quality: RareEpic! Description: "Skeletons of Sky Beasts" are naturally connected to the "Secret Sea", and will gradually cause your ship to be infected by the atmosphere of the "Secret Sea". When this transformation reaches a certain level, maybe this ship can sail in the "secret sea", right? Unlock trait: Overlapping Space Shield ?Quality: Rare Description: After fusing the "Empty Beast Skeleton", a layer of fragile overlapping space will be generated on the surface of the ship''s hull to withstand incoming attacks. The current space can withstand attacks to a limited extent. When it is broken, it will be automatically repaired over time. It goes without saying much about the [Secret Power Gathering] trait that has been upgraded to [Epic] quality. ?This not only subtly strengthens the [Black Swan], but also transforms the ship into an excellent place for spiritual practice. The power from the [Secret Sea] is so precious. When he was in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Xia Endu had to use a rather extreme method to absorb it. But now, as long as you are on the [Black Swan], you can absorb the secret power contaminated by the breath of the [Secret Sea]. The speed of mystical practitioners'' cultivation naturally increases by leaps and bounds. ?The most intuitive reaction was not from Joey or Fei Ya, but from the newborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya! ?At this time, Xian Ge was sleeping soundly in a corner of the captain''s cabin. ?Her body was curled up into a ball, like a sleeping kitten, and occasionally she would make a series of snapping sounds. This is because her body is growing at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary humans. Even people from different races like Joey and Feiya can''t compare. I''m afraid, this can be regarded as the unique talent of the bronze dragon family, right? ?Just in the past few days, Xian Ge''s rank has exceeded the third level. And there is a continuing upward trend. As for this second trait, Xia En understood it as a weakened "moonlight protection of the Yueyong tribe." ??They all rely on spatial dislocation to act like a defensive shield. Its just that the defensive power of the [Overlapping Space Shield] was obviously much weaker than the moonlight at that time. ?Perhaps, when more [Empty Beast Skeletons] are integrated, this trait will undergo a completely new transformation? ?While his thoughts were ups and downs, Xia En had already boarded the Black Swan again. ?In order to accommodate the indigenous people from all over the [Sand Island], he has been busy on the [Sand Island] these days. Just got on the ship once when the ship was strengthened and reported safe. In order to prevent the [Black Swan] from colliding with the [Burning Gold], Shane continued the previous strategy and let it wander in the waters near the [Sand Island]. Until today, he has officially returned to the Black Swan. Xiao Hei, your captain is back! ?Xia En said to the ship spirit of the [Black Swan] in his heart. Master, you are finally back, I miss you so much. ?Xiao Hei expressed his intimacy excitedly, but soon, he asked with some doubts. Master, have you been on any other ships these days? Why do I seem to smell the scent of other ship spirits? !? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, but then his mouth twitched. ?If I had to say something, it seems that he did come into contact with the ship soul of another shipthat was the "Sky Serpent" in the promotion ritual! ?Although the time they got together was short, Xia En had an extremely close contact with the ship spirit of the "Sky Serpent", and briefly achieved a state of "human and ship unity". ?However, when did Xiao Hei become so smart? Even this smell can be distinguished. ?The child is older and its hard to fool him! With this thought in his mind, Xia En said, "It''s okay. I''ve been on the island these days. How can I come into contact with other ships?" ?Xiao Hei was doubtful: [It seems like this...] Mr. Captain! From the side, Joey happily came up to him and almost hugged him: "Welcome back!" Yan Yan also waved to Xia En: "Captain, I knew you would be fine." Feiya leaned against the mast and looked at him with a smile. Miss Ghost appeared directly in front of Xia En and said eagerly: "Captain, when can we have barbecue again?" Why dont we just hold another celebration banquet. Looking at the crew members in front of him, Xia En felt a little touched and felt an indescribable warmth. This is the mood that can only be felt on the Black Swan. ?Perhaps, this is the feeling of going home? Xia En waved his hand and said directly: "Today!" Tonight, lets hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the [Sand Island] operation! Yeah! While the crew was preparing for the celebration banquet. ??Xia En returned to the captain''s cabin first and took out a strange mirror. This is the [Glory Crystal Mirror] obtained from the captain of [Fishing Number]. At this time, there was a slight light shining on the mirror, and the mirror surface was trembling slightly. ??This is the symbol of the Huijiao Archbishop when he initiates the rally call. Coincidentally, Xia En currently has some questions and wants to ask these well-informed people. For example, the location of other elven temples. Another example is the information about the [Truth Society]. Ordinary people will obviously not know the answers to these questions, but if it were the equally mysterious Hui religion, they might be able to give satisfactory answers. ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and put his hand on the mirror. The next moment. A piece of pure bright light filled his entire field of vision... (End of this chapter) Chapter 227 [Black Light King] and the Archbishop in White Chapter 227 [The Black Light King] and the Archbishop in White ??The brilliant and dazzling light washed over Xia En''s vision, like a vast sea of ??light. ??Moreover, this sea of ??light is not pure, single white light. Rather, it is composed of countless different radiances. There is the dazzling light like the midday sun, the clean light of the moon, the colorful rainbow light, and even the radiance of many stars. ?Various rays of light coexist harmoniously in this sea of ??light, entangled with each other, and flowing endlessly like water. Brilliant and dazzling, extremely spectacular. ?Seeing this scene, Xia Ens mind suddenly came up with a sentence Billions of radiances all belong to their Lord! A clear realization arose in his mind: "This is probably the so-called [Land of Glory]." Its just that I dont know if its Xia Ens illusion. ?The moment he stepped into this sea of ??light, the endless brilliance in the sea of ??light seemed to respond to his arrival, slowly rushing towards him. ?Moreover, it was as if a gaze fell on him from the depths of the sea of ??light. Soon, the feeling of being watched disappeared, and the surrounding sea of ??light faded away like a tide, revealing an extremely wide chaotic space. ?This seems to be a square, an almost endless square, simple and majestic. It seems to have been here for thousands or tens of thousands of years. There are many magnificent stone pillars supported at the end of the sight, with some obscure murals and runes carved on them. ?The tops of them all appear fragmented, as if they are shattered and dissipated in the distant sky. A hazy and chaotic stream of light shrouded the sky above the square. ?There seems to be something hidden in the depths of the light flow, but it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to peek into. Xia En calmed down and realized his own state for a moment. He is now just a spiritual body, not a real entity. ?Moreover, you can exit this space at will with just a thought. Then, Shane looked around. He found that there were already many figures standing in the square. ?These figures are all wrapped in a chaotic light, and their true faces and figures cannot be seen clearly. But one thing is certain, they are obviously believers of the Lord of Radiance. Thinking about it, this should be the "anonymity method" mentioned by the dwarf Lindrik. After all, the Hui Sect still belongs to the category of "esoteric sect" in today''s Qihai, and not everyone wants to reveal their identity as a Hui Sect follower. To Xia En''s surprise, there were many more people standing in this square than he expected. There are no fewer than dozens of human figures present at the scene. And there is an increasing trend. ??Xia En originally thought that this was a small gathering with only a dozen people! Then on second thought, its the same thing. ? Even the captain of the [Fishing Number], Lin Delek, whose strength is around the third or fourth level, has a chance to obtain the [Brilliant Crystal Mirror]. ?With the size of the Seven Seas, there are certainly more outstanding and powerful mystics than him who have converted to the embrace of the Lord of Radiance and are qualified to participate in this mysterious gathering. This also illustrates from the side... ? Huijiao appears to be calm and quiet on the surface, but in fact it has accumulated considerable power behind the scenes. It can be said that the existence of [Land of Glory] itself is a huge intelligence network with tentacles all over the seven seas. Although it is a sect from the previous era, it still retains the fire and is growing day by day. The most important thing is that the Federation doesnt seem to realize this yet? This is actually the most terrifying thing. Compared to a powerful enemy showing its teeth and claws in the open, a force that develops in the dark is more fearful. Xia En sighed in his heart: "The water of Huijiao is indeed very deep..." But having said that, what does Hui Jiao want to do? ?Although Xia Endu has always had a deep connection with the Lord of Hui, he was first the "Divine Envoy" and later the "Holy Son." It is no exaggeration to say that the name and relics of the Lord of Hui provided great help to Xia En at the beginning. ?It is precisely with the help of this that he was able to speed through [Coral City] in just a few months, and also gained huge benefits from it. ??However, having benefited a lot does not mean that Xia En unconditionally trusts this god. His attitude towards faith is very pure If it is useful to me, then I will believe it. Its of no use to me, so who cares about you? It is certainly impossible for him to be as pious and fanatical as some believers. And the Lord of Billions of Glory is an alien **** from outside this world, how could Xia En not be wary of him? ? Now, seeing other believers in this [Land of Glory], Xia En could not help but think about the Lord of Hui, or in other words, the purpose of the sect of Hui. Just to attract believers? Or do you want to absorb something like will power? ?Shaans intuition told him that it was probably not for this reason. To a **** who controls billions of rays of light, do mortal wishes really mean anything? Just when Xia En was thinking about it. He suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several eyes on him from all around. ??Moreover, the emotions in these eyes seem weird? There is surprise, curiosity, and a hint of awe and fear. ?Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he immediately became extremely vigilant. Whats going on? Am I exposed? Members of the family know their own affairs. Other people who came to the [Land of Glory] must be devout followers of the Hui religion. But Shane is not! Don''t say "pious", he can''t even use the word "believer". purely because of his inexplicable affinity with the [Lord of Glory], he had the opportunity to use the [Glory Crystal Mirror]. ??If this group of believers discovered this, wouldn''t it happen that "there is a traitor among us"? Have to guard against it! ?Xia En realized it secretly, and found that he could retreat to the "Glory Land" at any time, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he was inevitably a little puzzled, thinking: "How was I exposed?" I didnt even say a word, did I? Is it possible that [Glory Crystal Mirror] also has the function of identifying true believers from false ones? ?Judging from the fact that other believers did not launch a direct attack, Xia En was still somewhat lucky in his heart. What if they havent discovered it yet? Soon, a figure shrouded in light walked towards Xia En. The surrounding lights and shadows consciously made way for him, with a very respectful attitude. ?Seeing this figure, Xia En realized that there were actually quite a lot of differences in the postures of different Hui sect believers in the "Land of Glory". ?Take this person as an example. The light on his body is milky white, giving people a pure and friendly feeling. ?Like a fragrant and sweet White Rabbit toffee. ??Moreover, the area covered by the light around him is also larger than that of other believers. ?This mostly represents the amount of divine power in the Hui religion, and is also a symbol of status in the Hui religion. The purer and larger the radiance, the higher the status in the Hui religion. ?Its no wonder that other believers show such respectful attitude towards this man. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but be curious: "Now, what will my image be like in [The Land of Glory]?" He looked down slightly, and his expression suddenly became very strange.????Because he saw the light around him... is black ?Black! It is not that kind of light black, but an extremely pure, deep black that seems to be able to swallow everything. It reminds people of the deep sea thousands of meters below, or the night sky without a single star. Shane: Grass. The first second he saw this black light, he couldn''t help but name a plant. ?No wonder other peoples eyes look so weird! ?Most of the Hui Sect believers present were surrounded by bright white lights, among which suddenly a conspicuous black light like you appeared. ? Anyone can tell at a glance "There''s something wrong with you," right? ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. Forget about black light, its still so pure... Is this the difference between believers and non-believers? Xia En sighed in his heart, feeling that this operation to find out the information was probably a failure. When he was about to exit the [Land of Glory], the believer who looked like a white rabbit toffee walked up to him and asked respectfully. Senior, is this your first time using [Glory Crystal Mirror]? It is the voice of a young man, not too old. ?Like a well-educated little boy who can sing hymns in church. But what worries Xia En even more is... Senior? Hearing this title, Xia En''s heart moved. Eh, seems there is still a chance? Judging from the tone of this believer, it seems that he does not regard himself as a heretic who has sneaked here? ?Although he was a little confused about what was going on, Xia En, who reacted quickly, had an idea in his mind and immediately followed the words of the young believer. Thats right, this is my first time coming to the [Land of Glory]. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? "As expected." The young believer cautiously advised: "First of all, senior, please restrain the light of your soul." The light of the soul that is too strong will have a bad impact on other believers ?His tone was tactful, even a little cautious. This is also inevitable. Because, what Xia En didn''t know was that in the eyes of this young man and other believers. ?This "senior" who has just arrived, the black light around him is extremely high and wide, even as high as a hill. It is more than ten times larger than the light group of ordinary believers. ??Standing so eye-catchingly in this ancient square. ?That deep black light is like a black hole, making believers who approach it instinctively tremble and feel great pressure. In fact, this is the reason why the believers cast surprised glances at Xia En. ??With such a "senior" in the sect here, with such strong pressure and such strong light of soul, everyone would want to take a second look, right? ?Especially this "senior", he is likely to inherit the inheritance of the [Black Light King]! That''s right, in the eyes of believers, the black light on Shane''s body is actually not a problem at all. The reason is simple. There is precedent for this. There is not just one example! Those who practice different divine arts of radiance will have slightly different colors of radiance released in their souls. ?For example, the young man is milky white, while some of the believers next to him are wearing light pink or lilac, which is not that pure anyway. There are also particularly obvious ones, which directly turn into pure colors of red and blue. But what does that matter? The **** they believe in is the Lord of billions of rays of light! ??Whether it is white light, red light, or blue light, doesnt it all come under the authority of the Lord of Radiance? ?Of course, in the early years, believers were still a little afraid of the black light of the soul. ?That is, after all, the color opposite to the mainstream light. Until an extremely powerful believer appears, the light of that person''s soul is pure black. ??But this did not prevent him from being a loyal believer of the Lord of Hui. He even became the Archbishop of the Hui Religion for a time and gained the favor of the Lord of Hui. ?The name of that person is... King of Black Light! After him, several people followed a similar path and perfected the former''s magical skills. Gradually, a mysterious inheritance was formed. ??Although it is not so mainstream, there is also a small group of fans among Huijiao. Besides, being able to use [Glory Crystal Mirror] is the best proof of a believers identity. So, for Xia En at this time, people were more surprised by the strength of the light of his soul than doubting his identity. With such a strong soul light, I dont know which old man got the [Brilliant Crystal Mirror]. It seems that [King of Black Light] has someone to succeed him Either way, its a good thing. Hearing the whispers of others, Xia En guessed a little bit of the inside story and asked the young believer. The light of the soul is? ??The young man replied honestly: "It''s this kind of light that surrounds us." Any believer who enters the [Place of Glory] will automatically have this radiance in his soul. Generally speaking, the stronger the soul, the higher the rank, and the more favored the believer is by the Lord, the stronger the light of the soul will be. Speaking of this, the young man glanced at Xia En with envy. I have seen such a light of soul as yours in only a few bishops. ??Although Xia En couldn''t see the full picture of the light of his soul, he could still hear some information just from the voices of others and the young man. ?This is probably related to the gift he received from the ancestor souls of the [Moon-Yong Clan] and his inexplicable affinity with the Lord of Radiance. After figuring out the reason for the strange eyes, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and asked. How to restrain it? ??The young man replied: "Just sense its existence first, and then control it. It feels almost the same as using magic." ?Shaan: He has never used the genuine Hui religion magic! ?However, he realized it carefully and found that it was not difficult. Soon, the light of the surrounding souls was contained within one meter of Xia En. He has just finished doing this. ??A sudden bell ringing came from the end of the crowd, interrupting Xia En''s thoughts and the conversation between all the lights and shadows. ?There, an archbishop in white was standing in the center of the square. The ground beneath his feet continued to rise and rise, forming a unique palace in the chaotic light and shadow. Then, the Archbishop spoke. The divine aura connects us (End of this chapter) Chapter 228 Declare war on the [Truth Society]! Chapter 228 Declaration of war on the [Truth Society]! Protruding from the center of the square is a huge building made of pale boulders. As if built in those long-lost eras. That was a time older than the civilization before the Flood. Although it is called a "palace", its main body is a wide high platform and several pale stone pillars. Layers of stairs go up along the sloping stone walls. It seems that by climbing up the long steps, you can get a closer look at their gods. Looks more like an ancient temple or altar. Like everyone else, Sean''s eyes couldn''t help but fall on the white-robed archbishop high up in the building. ?Of course, his first thought was not awe or worship, but... Why is this person not "anonymous"? Others bodies and faces were obscured by the light of the soul, but this archbishop revealed his true face. ?He was wearing a priest''s robe with white background and gold patterns. He was tall and thin, with sparse white hair, and his eyes were as calm as deep water. There is a peaceful majesty about him. ??If we say it, Xia En, who was shrouded in black light just now, was like a black hole that swallowed everything. ?The Archbishop in white at such a high place is like the sun at three or four o''clock in the afternoon in autumn. It is neither too bright nor dim. But whether people care or not, it is there, calmly and continuously releasing light. In short, he is a man who fits Xia Ens imagination of the Archbishop of Hui Religion. The young believer on the side seemed to notice Xia En''s curiosity and explained. When the control over the light of the soul reaches a certain level, the true appearance can be revealed in the [Land of Glory]. But most people wouldnt choose to do that. Archbishop Musa is an exception. Since he became archbishop, he has always shown his true face and never concealed it. It has been more than fifty years. ??The young believer''s tone was filled with strong admiration and respect. If one day I can become a bishop, I must be like Archbishop Musa. After hearing this, Xia En touched his chin. So it turns out that "non-anonymous" mode can be turned on here? For some believers who need to conduct transactions, revealing their true identity can obviously increase each other''s credibility. ?Of course, this will naturally bring certain risks. Xia En looked at Archbishop Musa, silently raising his guard. ?The fact that he can still hold the position of archbishop for more than fifty years after his identity is exposed is enough to show that this archbishop is unusual. ?Shaan asked the young believer in a low voice: "Generally speaking, what do we do in this gathering?" ??The young believer has long regarded Xia En as one of his own, so he naturally knows everything at this time. Actually, its nothing special. First of all, to thank the Lord of Radiance for his brilliance and gifts, and to confirm the appointment and dismissal of bishops on certain islands. Secondly, it is to announce the oracle of the Lord of Radiance and issue some orders. As he spoke, the young believer laughed: "Of course, not everyone is qualified to directly accept the instructions of Archbishop Musa." Only those exceptionally outstanding believers will be invited to the high platform. ?His eyes fell on Xia En through the milky white light. After thinking about it, he said seriously and enviously. If it were you, senior, you might have a chance. The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. What should I do to listen to the oracle? Also follow the instructions of the Archbishop! ? Isn''t this a joke? He would not become a believer of that foreign **** just because of a few compliments from these believers. It is impossible to work for the Lord of Hui, not even in this life! Due to the obstruction of the light of the soul, the young believer cannot see Xia En''s expression, and therefore does not know what this "mysterious senior" is thinking. He continued: The last thing is free communication time. Believers in different sea areas can exchange information with each other, and can also use supplies and gold dragon coins to purchase. Xia En said in surprise: "[Glory Crystal Mirror] also has the function of transmitting items remotely?" "No." ??The young believer said naturally: "But after negotiating the price, we can ship the goods through [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]." [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] has established a relatively stable teleportation array, and its reputation is very guaranteed! Hearing what he said, Xia En also remembered that [Tianqi Chamber of Commerce] indeed has a very mature mailing business. It would be more convenient if it is a monetary transaction. Deposit it directly into the chamber of commerce and ask the other party to pick it up with the order number. You only need to pay a shipping fee or a hosting fee. ?Although it sounds a bit primitive, this method is indeed practical. ?The only problem is that there may be people who refuse to pay after asking for information, but being a believer naturally increases trust. ?Besides, if you default on your account once, it is estimated that no one here will trade with that person again. ?So many factors have allowed the intelligence trading in [Glory Land] to gradually mature. ?Xia Ens mind turned around and he noticed another thing. Since there is paid information, there must be free information! ??We are all followers of Hui Cult. For the sake of the Lord of Hui, is it not too much to give some free information? Dont forget, [Brilliant Crystal Mirror] was obtained by Xia En for nothing. ??It''s reasonable to get some information for free, right? Just as Xia En was thinking about this, Archbishop Musa on the high platform continued to speak. Its a pleasure to see you in this glorious holy land, now... I offer my respects to the glory of the Lord and silently recite His name under His gaze. May the Lords light protect us and help me guide the brothers and sisters gathered here. The surrounding believers immediately chanted the name of the Lord of Billions of Glory in unison. Then he made fists with his hands, placed them between his eyebrows, and bowed his head in a gesture of respect. What they paid tribute to was not the archbishop himself, but the halo cast by the dome and this sacred space. Suddenly, a pious and mysterious atmosphere enveloped the crowd. ?Those hazy lights and shadows made this scene even more eerie, as if some kind of evil ritual was being held. Xia En sighed in his heart: "That''s right, that''s right!" This is what a secret religious gathering should be like. With emotion, Xia En also pretended to lower his head so as not to reveal his identity. After a moment, the Archbishop opened his arms and spoke in an infectious voice. The prayer is over, the Lord has witnessed our piety and awe, and grace has shined on our souls. "One day, wherever the light shines, it will be my Lord''s territory..." ?For Xia En, who is not a true believer, these words of the archbishop were undoubtedly over the top, and he felt a little sleepy after hearing them. ?But suddenly, Archbishop Musa said again. Before todays gathering begins, we would like to welcome three newcomers. They were tested by the Lord and qualified to enter this holy land. Now, please three of you, please come to the temple and come to me. Hearing this, the believers around him became excited and looked at Xia En with envy. A voice of surprise also came out of the milky white light: "Senior, I''m talking about you!" Not all newcomers can enter the temple. It must be because of your strength, senior, that you were chosen by the Archbishop. ? There was a proud tone in his words, as if he wished he could replace Xia En and ascend to the high platform. Obviously, this should be considered a great honor for ordinary believers. But Xia En felt a little scared. He is a fake believer! ?Its okay to stand out in the square, but now you have to stand on that high platform and be baptized by everyones eyes? What if the secret is exposed? ?Especially the mysterious archbishop, who doesnt look easy to fool at first glance. But at this time, the nearby crowd started to make a small uproar. Two figures have already begun to climb the stairs of the temple. They are obviously the other two newcomers that Musa mentioned. The remaining peoples eyes were all focused on Xia Ens distinctive black light. ?There is no way, this dark halo is too conspicuous. ?In a group of white lights, it is as eye-catching as the bright moon in the night sky or the daffodils beside the toilet. Feeling the eager eyes of everyone around him, Xia En sighed inwardly. I just want to get some information for nothing How did it get to this point? But now, the arrow is on the string and must be fired. Xia En had no choice but to walk silently towards the stairs of the temple. ?He has made up his mind that once there are signs that he is exposed, he will immediately exit [Glory Crystal Mirror] and never come back again! Fortunately, no one noticed anything strange until they reached the steps of the temple. When he came to the stairs, Xia En could more clearly feel the simplicity and mystery of this temple. The entire temple is made of ancient stones. ?These stones seem to have been soaked in light, so that they appear pale in color, and they continue to emit a faint light. This thing doesnt come with some kind of radiation, right? Looking at the stones, Xia En''s mind was inexplicably reminded of several rare metals he had heard of before. Dont say it, the two really have something in common. ?While distracting thoughts flashed through his mind, Xia En also stepped onto the stone steps ahead and continued walking up. At first, he felt nothing, just like climbing stairs. ?But it didnt take long for Xia En to notice something strange. First of all, there seemed to be some mysterious substance flowing into the light of his soul in the pale stone steps under his feet. ?This feeling is not uncomfortable, but rather comfortable. It was as if his soul was absorbing this power and slowly growing stronger. The feeling was very similar to the feeling of receiving the gift of the soul of the ancestors of the [Yongyue Clan]. besides. ?Shane also felt an increasingly clear feeling of being spied on. The gaze coming from behind the stream of light from high places seems to be becoming more and more obvious and closer. And that will, even if it is only a very small part, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The words on the panel confirmed Xia Ens guess. You are climbing the stairs of the Temple of Glory! You are experiencing His gaze... Your soul is being purified... Comprehensive quality: 5.35.5! ?During this process, Xia En glanced at the believers below and suddenly realized. ?No wonder the Archbishop made them climb the stairs in public. No wonder other believers are so envious. ?The process of climbing up to the temple is a special ritual. At the door of all important Hui sect believers, receive the gift of the Lord of Hui ??If it were an ordinary believer, I would probably have shed tears of gratitude and burst into tears, right? WooooThank you, my Lord, for your gift Just as Xia En came up with this idea, he saw another believer kneeling on the steps not far away and kissing the pale stone. ?Shaan: ?He glanced at the man silently and walked towards the high platform faster. ??The closer to the high platform, the stronger the feeling of the mysterious gaze, so much so that Xia En felt the slightest palpitation in his heart. Wait, somethings wrong Xia En glanced at the stone steps at his feet, feeling a strange sense of intimacy in his heart. Not only that, he had similar feelings towards the believers below and the archbishop above. This seems to be a psychological suggestion. Even those who are not believers will subconsciously get close to and rely on brilliance. This is what purification means? ?Xia En frowned suddenly, knowing that he could not allow this transformation to continue. He made up his mind and began to fight against the huge consciousness. ?At the same time, the light of the soul around him is no longer bound and continues to expand and expand. In the blink of an eye, a black hole-like black light suddenly stood on the stairs. Seeing this scene, many believers couldn''t help but widen their eyes. The light of that seniors soul is so huge! And, its still this pure black color. His, wait, its still getting bigger? ?In people''s eyes, the black light is still absorbing the light from the pale stairs, like a black hole that swallows everything. But that was on the steps of the temple! ??Is this really not considered blasphemy against the Lord of Radiance? ?On the high platform, Archbishop Musa also had a strange expression. This was the first time something like this had happened to him since he became archbishop. At the next moment. ?Musas expression suddenly changed. Because, in the dark dome overhead, suddenly a bright and white beam of light fell from the sky. Its an oracle! Its a sign from the Lord! ?Musas eyes were filled with ecstasy. It had been five years since he last received an oracle. Every oracle has extraordinary significance to all Hui sect believers. Musa bowed his head piously: "Lord, please guide me on the way forward..." However, he waited sincerely for a moment, but the feeling of being enveloped by the light of the Lord of Glory did not come to him. "Um?" ?Musa raised his head in confusion and saw... ?That beam of light fell straight into the center of the black light that was as dark as a black hole! ??? Not to mention Musa, all the believers present were in a state of astonishment. What''s going on? Is this newcomer more valued by the Lord of Radiance than the Archbishop? Immediately, another small beam of light refracted out of the black light and fell on Musa. After listening carefully for a moment, Musa understood the content of the oracle and could not help but murmur with a solemn expression. Want to go to war with...[Truth Society]? (End of this chapter) Chapter 229 We have a mole in our midst Chapter 229 Theres a mole in our midst ?This all happened too fast and too suddenly. ? Many believers were still surprised by the sudden expansion of the black light, but the oracle from the Lord of Radiance arrived. Before they could be surprised, the oracle actually fell on this new person. It even forked in the end? ! The bifurcated oracle light pillar, how fresh it is! What situation have I not seen before? () I have never seen this situation before! () ?Surprised, the believers still looked at the Archbishop above with inquiring eyes. They have not listened to the gods for too long. Even though the form of this oracle is a bit unusual, it is enough to cheer up all believers. Archbishop Musa''s eyes swept across the crowd, and finally fell on the black light still climbing up the stairs. ??In any case, this newcomer who is suspected of being inherited by the [Black Light King] does have extraordinary divine favor. You should give him enough respect. ?Thinking of this, Musa silently waited for Xia En to complete this journey. ?This special attitude made the atmosphere in the venue even weirder. ??Believers carefully speculated on Xia En''s identity. Who is this senior? "Just now, the oracle... clearly fell on him, right?" Some people know more about the inside story, so they inevitably think more about it. I heard that the relationship between the Archbishop and the [Black Light King] is not harmonious, and there have been some conflicts. This senior came to the [Land of Glory], could he have wanted to... Wrapped in the black light, Xia En, who was the center of attention, was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Just now, he was still struggling against the rush of spiritual power. But suddenly, an extremely vast will broke in directly. ?The vastness and terrifying degree of that will can be said to be the only thing Xia En has ever seen in his life. The remnants of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] that I sensed a few days ago are already quite remarkable. But in front of this will, it seems like a small witch pales in comparison to the big witch. There is no comparison between the two. ?To put it bluntly, its the difference between a star and an entire starry sky. ? Even more, Xia En suspected that what he perceived was only the tip of the iceberg of his will. This is the instinctive protective mechanism of the soul. ??If he really faced the essence of the will, I''m afraid that in the first moment, Xia En would be shocked into a demented fool. Even so, Xia En felt uncomfortable at this time. ??Strong warning signs surged up from the soul, and a voice shouted Dont look at it! Don''t listen! Don''t think about it! ?His eyes were filled with chaotic light streams, colorful black shadows were squirming, and wild whirlpools were spinning. The symptoms of tinnitus and auditory hallucinations are also obvious. Mixed with angry roars and hollow murmurs. Fortunately, this huge will does not seem to be hostile, but instead shows its goodwill as much as possible? It felt like a huge beast, leaning down carefully and gently stretching out its claws towards him? ?It is precisely because of this feeling that although Xia En was surprised, he did not panic. This is...the will of the Lord of Radiance? Or is it just an incarnation of Him? ?While Xia En was thinking about things in his mind, his huge will slowly swept over him, as if...reading his thoughts? This strange feeling disappeared before Xia En could become wary of it. ?And it seems that a part of the huge will is separated and shot somewhere outside. Then, this will disappeared. ??If it weren''t for the chaotic light and shadow still remaining in front of his eyes, Xia En might have thought that everything just now was just an illusion. Disappeared so suddenly? ?Shaan thought: "It''s like being kicked out." His, maybe thats really the case. The Lord of Billions of Glory is an external **** after all. If he wants to interfere with things in this world, he will inevitably be rejected by the will of this world. Thats why His stay was so short. Xia En calmed down and did not think about the reason why the Lord of Hui cast his gaze for the moment. He has not forgotten that he is still standing on the steps of the Temple of Glory! ?You cant stay here forever, right? ?However, Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the believers seemed to be looking at him, feeling a little guilty for no reason. No, why am I guilty? Is this considered to be the identity authentication of the Lord of Radiance? He pretended to be nonchalant and continued walking up the stairs. Soon he reached the highest platform and looked at Archbishop Musa. ?Beside Musa, the other two newcomers looked at Xia En curiously, with awe and envy in their eyes. Everyone is new, why are you so special? ?That is the oracle of the Lord of Radiance! At this time, the silent Musa said: "Just now, the Lord sent us a sign." This is the first time in five years, and it also means that the Lord is always watching us and has never left. Speaking, Musa turned his head and looked at the three of them. But before announcing the oracle, please also ask the three newcomers to confirm their code names. That will be the name you will use when walking in the [Glory Land]. If it is convenient, you can also briefly introduce yourself, such as your occupation and the sea area you are currently in. Hearing this, one of the newcomers naturally took half a step forward and spoke generously. You can call me Nuan Xue, I am currently exploring the sea in [Sea of ??Annihilation]. If you need information about the [Sea of ??Annihilation], you can come to me at any time. From under the light blue light, a mature woman''s voice came out, which sounded quite demure. ?However, when he heard the word "Sea of ??Nirvana", Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he felt a little awe-inspiring. Sea of ??Annihilationis also one of the seven sea areas. ?Just from this name, you can tell that this sea area is unusual. In fact, the [Sea of ??Annihilation] has always been considered the most dangerous sea area among the seven seas. It is said that in that sea area, various natural disasters are raging at sea, life is extinct, and there are very few ships that dare to explore deep inside. Even the Federation of the Seven Seas has extremely limited control over the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. ?However, it is precisely because of this. Some big pirates who are wanted with a bounty on their head will break into the [Sea of ??Annihilation] to find a way out when they are cornered. ? No matter what, being able to explore this on the [Sea of ??Nirvana] is enough to show how extraordinary "Nuan Xue" is. ?All the believers nodded slightly and remembered this woman''s code name. The other newcomer does not have such a big background. His code name is "The Wise One" and he lives in the "Sea of ??Tranquility", and few believers pay special attention to him. ?However, Xia En did not underestimate him because of this. Obtaining the [Glory Crystal Mirror] itself has quite a threshold. ?Although the wise man may be mediocre in the eyes of everyone, in reality, he might be a fourth- or fifth-level strong man. After the two of them finished their introduction, everyone present naturally turned their attention to Xia En. They are all very curious about this mysterious senior. Seeing this, Xia En stepped forward and said. [Black Light] is currently located in the [Magnetic Sea Area]. After thinking about it, he decided to give the real place name. This information alone is far from revealing his identity. Moreover, part of the truth can also win the trust of others. As for the name [Black Light], it was purely randomly chosen by Xia En. ?The light of his soul is black, and he seems to be very connected to "black", so it makes sense to call him [Black Light]! ?However, in other people''s ears, this nickname has a profound meaning. [Black Light King] and [Black Light], if there is no connection between the two, who would believe it! Even Musa couldn''t help but frowned and thought to himself. Could it be that he really came here to vindicate [King of Black Light]? But what happened back then ?Musa suppressed some distracting thoughts and said: "The brief introduction is over." Next, let me relay the content of the oracle... ?Suddenly, Musa paused for a moment, looked at Xia En in front of him, and asked cautiously. Your Excellency Blacklight, do you have anything to convey about the oracle? Hearing this, Xia En was stunned. ah? Your Mightiness? Oracle? Shall I convey it? Xia En was confused. ??He didn''t know what the beam of light just represented. He only felt that Musa''s attitude was unusually respectful, and he even used the honorific title "Your Excellency" for a newcomer. Xia En''s mind turned around and he thought, "Could this be a test for me?" He doesnt fully believe me yet? As expected of an archbishop, he is indeed cunning and cunning! ??But after much thought, Xia En couldn''t guess the content of the oracle, so he simply pretended to be profound. "Let the archbishop speak first, and I will add one or two points." ?Musas eyes suddenly froze, and his brain was working rapidly. Judging from the thickness of the two light beams, the oracle that Xia En received was obviously clearer and clearer. ??If he corrects his oracle when supplementing it, wouldn''t it be a disguised attack on the bishop''s majesty? Then, take revenge for the [Black Light King]? This guy has such a deep scheming mind! At this moment, after an accidental collision, both of them thought that the other person was a scheming person, and they were on high alert. ?However, faced with the waiting of so many believers, Musa could not keep delaying. He soon traveled the duties of a bishop, declared. The Lord said, destroy the [Truth Society]! Since we are following the glory of the Lord, we should clear away all obstacles for the Lord! Therefore, I hereby declare that...from today on, the Hui Religion declares war on the [Truth Society]! ?Shaan: !? ?Among all the people present, the one who was most surprised was definitely Shaan who was standing next to Musa. Why is it that Huijiao is suddenly going to war with the [Truth Society]? The tone of declaring war is still the same as that of Lafayette? Could it be said that there is an enmity between Huijiao and the Truth Society? Or say ?Xia En suddenly trembled, remembering the coming of will just now. He seemed to have captured his own thoughts, or wishes? ? And it just so happened that after receiving Augustines warning, Shane had already regarded the [Truth Society] as a formidable enemy. Could it be at that time... No, no, no, no matter what, this is unlikely, right? ?Xia En subconsciously denied this conjecture. Just one of his thoughts turned into an oracle! ? ?This kind of thing is ridiculous no matter how you look at it. Furthermore, my first great enemy is clearly [Hui Siming]? Why is it not mentioned in the oracle? "Wait a minute, is it possible that the relationship between Hui Jiao and [Hui Siming] is originally hostile? So there is no need to mention it at all?" Shanes heart was beating fast. There was no way, this conjecture was so amazing that he began to seriously think about a question Am I really the son of the Lord of Radiance? ?This kind of treatment is not too much to say that he is at the level of a biological father. But just when Xia En was thinking wildly, Musa stretched out his big hand and said loudly. Unfortunately, there are many moles among us. Then, cleaning up the heresy in the [Truth Society] starts from here. The next moment. His big hands clenched tightly. The brilliant stream of light fell from the dome, hitting some of the believers like meteors. No! Bishop Musa! "Why" Spare my life, please! In an instant, several voices of begging were heard in the square. The light group struck by the light flow seemed to have lost the ability to exit the [Land of Glory], and was directly dispersed, annihilated, and eventually turned into nothingness. The light of the soul has completely dissipated, and the fate of these people is self-evident. Xia En couldn''t help but feel awe-struck in his heart. Sure enough, in the [Land of Glory], there are also ways to kill people! ?Furthermore, even among the Hui sect believers, there are actually people from the [Truth Society] who have infiltrated? These two discoveries shocked Xia En. What surprised him even more was that a stream of light fell directly on the newcomer codenamed "Wise Man" beside the high platform. He is actually also a member of the [Truth Society]! Unlike other [Truth Society] members who died without any resistance, the wise man opened his hand. A barrier composed of circles, ovals, parabolas and many other lines blocked the top of his head. ?That barrier has a mathematical beauty, as if it contains many wonderful formulas, and it can temporarily maintain a stalemate with the flowing light. The wise man looked at Musa and said calmly: "Bishop Musa, it seems that your **** made a wrong decision." You will regret it. Musa''s expression remained unchanged: "Get out of here, you dog of truth!" Well see you soon A strange smile appeared on the corner of the wise man''s mouth, and he murmured like a whisper: "I already know the truth!" Suddenly, a barrier formed by lines wrapped around his body and quickly disappeared. Obviously, he successfully escaped from [The Land of Glory]. ?Below, the believers were in an uproar. They didnt expect that this sacred [Glorious Land] would be infiltrated into a sieve by the [Truth Society], and some people managed to escape! This is the [Truth Society]! Bishop Moussa said: "A group of lunatics who have no bottom line and are trying to brainwash everyone! In the name of truth, they do crazy things!" They are good at disguise and deception, deceiving the Lords people. At the same time, their strength cannot be underestimated. From now on, all information about the [Truth Society] will be shared free of charge within the [Glory Land]. This is destined to be a long and difficult battle, but bathed in the glory of the Lord, we will finally win the final victory! Archbishop Musa has obviously reached the full level in terms of "speech", and his words made the believers'' blood boil. At this time, he turned his attention to Xia En again. [Black Light] Your Excellency, is there anything else you want to say? (End of this chapter) Chapter 230 [City of Giant Woods] and [Glow Guard] Chapter 230 [City of Giant Woods] and [Glow Guards] At this time, above the temple. Listening to Archbishop Musas questions and looking at the gazes of many believers below, Xia En finally came to his senses. No matter why the Lord of Hui sent this oracle, it has nothing to do with him. ??The fact that Huijiao declared war on the [Truth Society] is definitely a great thing. The strange and mysterious nature of the [Truth Society], Xia En has personally experienced many times. ??Whether it was the [Thousand Changers] who tried to contact him, or the [Undertaker] who appeared in the promotion copy, or even Augustine''s early warning, this was clearly proven. On the other hand. Huijiao is not a small sect either. Information obtained from underwater ruins such as the Coral City. The Lord of Billions of Lights extended his touch into this world long before the Great Flood, or in an even more ancient era. Moreover, despite several major changes, the fire still remains. From light to darkness, dormant for hundreds of years. From the large number of believers in the [Land of Glory] now, we can also see its huge latent power. ?In Xia Ens opinion, the status of the Lord of Billions of Glory may be even higher than that of [Hui Si Ming]! Of the two, one is a lunatic organization pursuing the so-called "truth". One is a secret sect that believes in alien gods. They are simply a match made in heaven! Xia En doesnt feel sorry for anyone he harms. Furthermore, with Huijiao attracting the attention of the [Truth Society], his pressure will be much less. ??If possible, Xia En actually doesnt want to provoke the [Truth Society] now. After all, he is only at the fourth level now. Even if his combat power is at the fifth level, it will not be enough in the hands of the old monsters of the [Truth Society]. But the problem is, Xia En is already in trouble! The [Thousand Changers] who came to him directly before was the best warning. ?Up until now, Xia En could not remember what the name of [Thousand Changers] was, what it looked like, and how powerful it was. ?This alone is enough to make Xia En feel afraid. This means that the [Truth Society] has noticed itself, whether it is because of Joey or other reasons. Last time there happened to be Mr. Heller from [The Nether Sect]. Next time, they can only rely on Xia En and the others! Instead of passively waiting for the [Truth Society] to send people, it is better to act first! ??Hui Jiao, isnt it an excellent helper? Furthermore, since there is help, of course it must be held in hand! ?These ideas sound complicated, but in fact it only took Shane less than a second. He quickly made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Archbishop Musa is right." This is the sign given to us by the Lord. In fact, the [Truth Society] is secretly planning a huge conspiracy. If it is not stopped in time, not only mankind, but the entire world will fall into an unprecedented crisis! Having had experience playing the role of a divine envoy in [Coral City], Xia En is naturally very proficient in playing the role of a divine stickman, with no flaws at all. As for the so-called "Truth Society conspiracy"... Of course he made it up! Xia En is not a member of the [Truth Society], so how could he possibly know their true purpose? Its all just throwing dirty water anyway, so its better to exaggerate the harmfulness of the [Truth Society] and attract the attention of Hui Sect believers. ?However, this is not the case in the ears of believers. ?They had just witnessed the oracle coming to Xia En, so it was inevitable that they would not understand it as part of the oracle and believe it deeply. It turns out that the [Truth Society] is still secretly planning this kind of thing No wonder the Lord sends down a sign, he is saving us! Praise the Lord for His radiance and love! ?Many believers seemed to be deeply moved and began to praise with tears of gratitude. The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched. The thoughts of devout believers are indeed different from those of ordinary people. ?His mind suddenly turned around and a bold idea came to his mind. Since they trust me so much, why not add some spice? ?Thinking of this, Xia En slowly said: "I also know two code names." One is [Thousand Changers]. The other one is [The Undertaker]. They are probably the key figures in the [Truth Society] responsible for planning this matter. I think they should be eliminated or captured as soon as possible. This is Xia En''s personal vendetta. He has always remembered the last time he was forced to run away by [Thousand Changers]. Its not that I wont retaliate, the time has not yet come! It is undoubtedly a good choice to borrow the power of Hui Jiao to retaliate against [Thousand Changers]. As for [The Undertaker], Shane has relatively complicated feelings about him. On the one hand, he seems to have a very close connection with Joey, but on the other hand, he seems to have forgotten Joey and is preparing for a certain plan. Honestly, Xia En felt that the apparent power of the Hui Cult alone was not enough to truly kill [The Undertaker]. But it should still be possible to trap him or cause him some trouble. For Xia En, this was just a casual mention. But in the eyes of many believers, the two of them may be names mentioned by the oracle! In this case, they have a way to die! [Thousand-Changeer][Undertaker] At this moment, Musa said: "I have heard their names." With the help of an ancient relic, the former can freely change his appearance, distort other peoples perceptions, and achieve an almost perfect disguise. "Afterwards, he can easily erase the traces of his arrival, which is indeed a bit difficult to deal with." But there are two things he cant change. The first is the light of the soul, and the second is the true name. As he spoke, Musa looked at the group of believers closest to the temple. [Glow Guard], his real name is...Jiaxiu Rosas. Now, go and take his life away. Among the believers, three groups of light took a step forward and knelt on one knee like the Templar Knights. Follow the guidance of the light. ?That voice was as steady as a rock. As soon as the words fell, these three light groups exited the [Land of Glory]. Xia En couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment. Glow Guard? ??This is a group of secret warriors secretly trained by the Hui Sect to be responsible for fighting? ??They are going to kill him just because they heard the true name of [Thousand Changers]? ?The weird thing is, Xia En feels that these people can really do it! ? Xia En found that he seemed to have underestimated the heritage of the ancient sect Hui Jiao. ?As if giving an insignificant order, Musa continued. And [The Undertaker], his full name should be called [The Civilized Undertaker]. It is said that he had witnessed the destruction of several civilizations, such as the ancient dragon civilization, the elven civilization, and...the human civilization before the great flood. Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. He really didnt know this information. As if to illustrate the extraordinary nature of [The Undertaker], Musa began to talk about some history that ordinary people dont know In those older times, humans were just a very weak species among many races. At that time, the real ruler of the world was the ancient dragon that soared in the sky and wandered in the mountains and rivers. Later, the elves gradually grew stronger under the oppression of the ancient dragons, and many intelligent races also had room to breathe. But suddenly one day, the powerful ancient dragon died. No one knows what happened that day, but the darlings of the world, the behemoths with powerful power, disappeared overnight. Only some descendants with ancient dragon blood are left. Subsequently, the elves suddenly became the most powerful race in the world. The strongest extraordinary beings and the most advanced spells were all born among the elves. Its just because of the limited number of the elves themselves and the difficulty in reproduction unique to the immortal species. The area they live in actually only occupies a very small part of the entire world. In other words, it is impossible for the elves to rule the world in a geographical sense. This gives other races room to survive and develop. It is under this situation that human beings grow stronger little by little. In the eyes of the elves, this is actually a quite incredible thing. ?Those creatures that look quite similar to me are obviously extremely weak in individual strength and have a short lifespan. Often when they finish their practice, they will see the young man turn into an old man, and the old man turn into a corpse. ?This even makes some elves feel a little pitiful. ?However, such a weak creature is quietly growing in strength, with footprints all over the continents, and powerful extraordinary beings continue to emerge. Then, humans replaced the elves and became the largest race. When the elves realized this, they couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. How did that small and inconspicuous ethnic group become so powerful? ?However, also because the number of elves is small, humans only need to give them a few territories in the world, and there is no need to break out a racial war. So at that time, several races got along relatively harmoniously. And then ?Musa said in a deep voice: "The elves are destroyed." No one knows how they died, just like the more ancient ancient dragons. Hearing this, the believers present couldn''t help but take a breath. The successive destruction of these two strongest races does not look like a coincidence. It is difficult not to think of the coming of the "Great Flood". Humans, arent they the third strongest race in the world? ?Musa paused and continued: "I have said so much because I want to tell you..." The crisis of world subversion and human destruction has always existed. And this [Mourner], since he has witnessed the demise of civilization, may know the deeper secrets. You need to be cautious about his actions and dont act blindly. If you have any information about him, please report it to me as soon as possible. ?Xia En was stunned for a while after hearing this. ? He ??mentioned it casually, but why did Moussa directly regard [The Undertaker] as a strategic target? Or is [The Undertaker] really related to the destruction of ancient dragons and elves? I really cant tell the difference! After this. The assembly entered the stage of free communication. Before Xia En could do anything, several light groups gathered around him, chatting and inquiring about the news. Xia En was not polite and asked directly. Do any of you know where the elves once gathered? For example...the [Emerald Ancient City] in [Leng Lie Sea]. ?Most of the believers are a little confused. After all, elf itself is a rather unfamiliar word to many people. ??Had it not been for Musas brief introduction just now, some people would not even know that this race exists. The understanding of the elven ruins is even less. At this time. "Nuan Xue", who is also a newcomer, said: "Senior, do you mean the ruins under the sea?" ?Shaan nodded: "That''s right." Actually, near the sea area where I am, there is a ruins suspected to be that of the elves. Nuanxue said: "We call it... [City of Giant Trees]." If senior wants to come, I can act as a guide. ?Xia Ens eyes narrowed. ?Of course he remembered that Nuanxue was in the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. In other words, this [City of Giant Woods] is located under the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. Coincidentally, the distance between [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [Magnetic Sea Area] is not too far. Xia En asked again: "Are you sure that [City of Giant Woods] is related to elves?" Nuanxue vowed: "I''m sure." I was attacked by treants there. Treants, similar to elves, are one of the companion races of elves. According to legend, in ancient times, tree people often appeared as guards of the elves. Based on this alone, the credibility of Nuan Xues words is 70%! Xia En didnt hesitate for long before he said decisively: Then Ill leave it to you. ?Although exploring the [Sea of ??Annihilation], you will definitely encounter a lot of risks. But in order to find other elven temples, such risks are still within the acceptable range. The next day. The edge of [Magnetic Sea Area]. ?An unknown pirate ship is moving forward slowly. ?At the corner of the deck, a seemingly ordinary sailor looked at the sea, like a patient and cunning hunter, waiting for his prey to appear. Calculating the time, its almost time, right? ?The sailor murmured to himself: "According to the master''s deduction, there is an 87% probability that the target will appear today." This time, why not just disguise yourself as one of his crew members? Like the white-haired siren? I heard that they have a certain ambiguous relationship. If I suddenly remove my disguise in bed, what expression will he show? ?Thinking of such a scene, the sailor couldn''t help but laugh evilly. For him, the human heart is the best toy. Last time, an old guy from the [Netherworld Sect] saved you. This time, I want to see where you can escape! A flash of joy flashed across the sailor''s face, and he had already thought of how to make the other party fall into confusion and despair. That fool probably never imagined that our real target is actually the crystal coffin Perhaps I can tell him this secret before he dies? ?Just as the sailor was thinking about it, a door made of light suddenly opened on the deck in front of him. Several knights in armor came out. The person who is the leader has a sword in his head. [The Thousand Changers], Jasio Rosas. In the name of radiance, we grant you death! (End of this chapter) Chapter 231 【Gray Mask】【Deep Sea Singer】 Chapter 231 [Grey Mask] [Deep Sea Singer] Glow Guard!? ?This seemingly ordinary pirate sailor is none other than [Thousand-Changeer] Jia Xiu. ??Whether its Ashiu or another name, its actually just a pseudonym he used. At this time, based on his knowledge, he could naturally tell the identity of these knights at a glance. But the question is, why do these [Glow Guards] know their true names and attack them directly? ?It seems like he has never provoked those lunatics who believe in ancient alien gods, right? No matter how puzzled Jia Xiu was, the big sword of the leading knight was already slashing at him with a fiery and bright light! You lackeys of foreign gods, do you really think Im afraid of you? Jia Xiu shouted loudly, and shadows with different faces appeared behind him. ?Those are the people who have been disguised by the [Thousand Changers], and among them there are some powerful Mysterians. They gathered their strength and faced the bright sword light together! simultaneously! The moment the phantoms came into contact with the sword light, many phantoms quickly shattered, like a knife cutting through butter without any resistance. Jia Xius expression suddenly changed, and he felt horrified. This force is... Legendary! ? But, how is it possible? Even in the [Truth Society], the number of legends is quite limited. ?Take Jia Xiu himself as an example. Although he has a good reputation at sea and is feared by quite a few people, it mainly depends on the ability of the mysterious relic. His own rank is actually only sixth level. ?This is of course not to say that the sixth level is very low, but in front of the legend, the sixth level is indeed not enough. Just like there is a "domain" gap between the fourth level and the fifth level, there is also an insurmountable barrier between the legend and the sixth level. Even this barrier is thicker and stronger. And often only those who have experienced this gap firsthand will understand how hopeless it is. With the shattering of several phantoms. ??Jia Xiu suddenly stepped back, glanced at the remaining four [Glow Guards] from the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly became dull. Among these four people, there is actually a legend! The other three people are also exuding at least a sixth level aura! Thousand ChangesJia Xiu was really shocked. Without any grievance or enmity, Hui Jiao actually directly sent two legendaries and three sixth-level ones! Just to deal with him alone? ! A sixth-level secret pather whose [Truth Number] is not even in the top 100? This...why? In an instant, Jia Xiu had to try hard to remember whether he had offended Hui Jiao somewhere recently. ?However, the Glow Guards don''t care about the thoughts of a heretic. They came here just to kill Jia Xiu with thunder! Because...this is part of the oracle! My light will tear you apart! ??Behind Jia Xiu, an extremely blazing light burst out from the hands of another legendary guard. In an instant, the entire sea suddenly became brighter, like a beam of sunlight crossing the space. ??The beam-like magic blasted directly at Jia Xiu, seemingly able to blast away everything that stood in its way. A strong sense of crisis surged up from his soul. Jia Xiu trembled all over and looked hideous. No, I cant die You forced me to do this! The next moment. An illusory gray-white mask appeared on Jia Xiu''s face. ??This mask has a tear-like mark on the corner of its eye. It is obviously just a mask, but it seems to be alive and have its own life. ?It seems like it will smile at any time, or burst into tears suddenly. Forbidden relic[Grey Mask! This is not only the code name of "Thousand Changers" in the "Truth Society", but also Jia Xiu''s greatest support when traveling across the seven seas. ??With the appearance of the [Grey Mask], Jia Xiu''s temperament suddenly changed, becoming deep and mysterious, even giving people an... inhuman feeling? Masked Dancer, come out! Jia Xiu roared angrily, and more and more shadows appeared behind him. ??Different from the shadows just now, their faces all wore gray-white masks. ?Each mask has a different expression. Some were crying, some were laughing, some were sad, and some were full of anger. Immediately afterwards, beings called "masked dancers" fell on other pirates on the ship. ?These people were immediately controlled by the masks and rushed towards the Glow Guards. ??After receiving the blessing of the mask, the originally weak pirates also possess a power close to the sixth level, which is equivalent to Jia Xiu''s clone. For a moment, the scene looked like the Glow Guards were surrounded. However, in the face of absolute strength, numbers are meaningless. The knight headed by said calmly. Let the glow purify everything. In an instant. ??The dazzling light expanded with the knight as the center, and quickly expanded into a huge light group, enveloping the entire pirate ship... On the sea. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] were traveling smoothly one after the other. At this speed, we can sail into the [Sea of ??Annihilation] in about seven days. On the deck, Xia En looked at the sea in the distance and analyzed it secretly in his heart. I just dont know if that Nuan Xue can be trusted. Will he see that I am not a true believer? Xia En is naturally quite wary of Nuan Xue, whom he has made friends with in the Land of Glory. This is like We only chatted a few words online, and immediately entered the offline basic stage. ?This progress is really too fast. ?However, because of Laila and the possibility of traveling back in time, Shane had to go to the [City of Giant Trees]. Alas, its still too weak. ?Xia En sighed and said with emotion. ??If he has been promoted to Legend and has a crew of six and seven levels, why would he have to worry about a small "offline encounter?" ?Chance Nanami can let herself walk sideways, right? ??Imagining that scene, Xia En couldn''t help but smile. Captain, Captain, what are you laughing at? ?Besides, Tracy, standing on An''s shoulder, couldn''t help but ask. Xia En explained casually: "I was thinking that if one day, you all become legends." "I don''t even need to take action. Wherever I stand, the enemies will be scared away, right?" Legend? What is that? Yan Yan, who was tall and wrapped in a robe, opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "Is it very powerful?" ?Shaan: Not to mention, so far, he has not figured out what Yan Yan''s combat prowess is. The main reason is that the "immortality" feature is too bad. Xia En estimated that even if Yan Yan was frozen in a glacier for thousands of years, he would probably not die. ??Moreover, the flame that uses itself as fuel is also very mysterious and strange. Didnt you see that the previous [Apostles of Filth] were all burned by the flames? ?However, success is also a flame, and failure is also a flame. ??If Yan Yan were to attack with all his strength, not only his enemies, but also his companions would be burned to pieces. So, unless absolutely necessary, Xia En rarely lets Yan Yan take action. ? Tracey knew that Yan Yan really had no common sense in this area and explained. Legendary, he is a seventh-level Mystic Pathfinder, he is awesome! Our captain is only at the fourth level now! Do you understand what this means? Yan Yan''s eyes were full of clear confusion, and he said to himself in his heart: "Is it very powerful?" "Why do I feel like I have burnt so many legends?" Ann reconfigured new pens and paper, so there was no need to use Tracey as a sounding board. He wrote with charcoal: [Sorry, Captain, I am still too weak. I will definitely become stronger as soon as possible! Seeing this, Tracy hurriedly said: "Me too!" Ans words actually caused a subtle change in the atmosphere of the deck. ??On this trip to [Sand Island], most of the crew members were not able to explore the island with Xia En. Although there are factors to protect the [Black Swan], the crew members all know that this is also because they are weak and cannot provide much help. This point made the crew a little stimulated and they felt a little more urgent. They are all holding a lot of energy in their hearts! No one wants to be a liability on this ship. An is like this, Feiya is like this. ?The reason why Xian Ge chose to transform in sleep is probably related to this. Xia En is naturally happy to see this happen. ?No matter how powerful he is, there will always be times when he is unable to do anything else. Besides, there is also the existence of [Captain''s Majesty] - every time the crew members are promoted, he can get a certain enhancement. The stronger the crew, the stronger the captain! Speaking of which, I wonder how Joeys promotion process is going ?Xia En looked at the cabin with some worry. ??Thats right, the day after he returned to the [Black Swan], Joey heard the invitation from the [Secret Sea] and began the third-level promotion ritual. The promotion rituals for the third level are different from those for the fourth level. The difference between the speed of time flow between the ritual and reality is not too big. In other words, this promotion may take Joey half a day or even a day. ?This inevitably makes Xia En a little worried. Because, the profession she obtained at the second level is [Wang Yang Singer], which is also a hidden profession. ?This shows that the secret path that Joey takes will be different from that of ordinary secret path followers. Just like Shane. ?Xia En has not forgotten the hell-level difficulty when he was promoted to the second and third levels. At this time. A loud and long roar came from the captain''s cabin. Immediately afterwards, a small bronze dragon flapped its wings and flew out of the window with a roar. Wuhu! The great bronze dragon, Xiange Maya, has now awakened from her slumber! Xiange held her head high and shouted excitedly: "This sea will soon tremble and crawl under my wings!" The words are quite impressive. But the soft and waxy child''s voice greatly destroyed this point. It feels like a little girl saying "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up". ?However, Shane and the other crew members can see... ?This deep sleep brought a lot of transformation to Xian Ge. ?The bronze scales on his body became denser and newer, just like the lead dust was washed away. The body shape of the entire dragon has not changed much, but the muscle lines on its body have become more and more prominent, making no one doubt the powerful power contained in its body. What is worth noting is that there is some dark gold color at the ends of its wings and tail. At the top of the head, the pair of small sharp horns were obviously longer. At first glance, the pair of sharp corners looks a bit like a small crown? ?Shaan inexplicably remembered a sentence in the description of Xian Ge. The bronze crown has long been rusty, and only the tempering of blood and fire can regain its new life. Is there any connection between the two? ?The crew members have been getting along with Xian Ge for so long, so they are quite familiar with her, and they already know her character as a show-off, pretentious and cowardly little girl. ??Of course I have no idea about this big talk. Just thought it was another ordinary bragging by Xian Ge. But at this moment, the calm sea surface suddenly began to tremble, layers of water waves appeared, and waves hit the hull one after another. It seems to be in response to Xian Ges words of tremblingly crawling! ?Xia En raised his eyebrows and looked at Xian Ge high up. ??This little dragon, is he so capable now? Who knows, Xian Ge was at a loss for a while, and said to himself: "What, what is going on?" This...was done by me? Shortly afterwards, a soft and ethereal singing gradually sounded amidst the sound of the waves. Wait, this is it? ?Shaan was the first to react. He immediately turned his head to look at the cabin. ?Listen carefully, the ethereal singing sounds are coming from that direction. ?This song is far more than just a song. It also has the qualities to soothe people, purify the soul, and even control the sea. The waves around [Black Swan] fluctuate because of it. ?But if you observe carefully, you can find that these waves are not aggressive, but seem to express worship and surrender. ?Thinking of this, Xia En had a strange expression. Isnt this characteristic the authority of the Storm Goddess? Even if a priest of the Deep Sea Church casts a magical spell, it may not have such an obvious effect. Not long after, a girl wearing a blue and white robe walked out of the cabin. She still has a waterfall of silver-white hair, and her red eyes are like the finest rubies, which set off her fair complexion. ?However, compared with yesterday, Joey obviously had an indescribable temperament. Like...divinity? ?Xia En couldn''t help but frown. Yes, it is divinity. ?At this time, Joy no longer seemed to be a living girl, but a statue of God that was admired and revered in the church. Sacred, transcendent, aloof. ?This feeling made Xia En feel that something was wrong. Fortunately, the next second, Joey asked timidly. Mr. Captain, whats wrong? Did I do something wrong? The moment the girl spoke, that divinity was quickly stripped away from her body, turning her back into the lively girl she was. ?However, Xia En still did not dare to relax, and immediately stepped forward, carefully observing Joey''s condition up and down. Ship, Mr. Captain ?Under Xia Ens gaze, Joeys face turned slightly red and he spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito. Everyone is watching... Ahem! Fei Ya coughed dryly, and all the crew members turned around silently. If theres nothing you can do, you can do whatever you want. ?Xia En really didn''t care about such details at this time, he just wanted to figure out the source of that divinity. But suddenly. Boom! ?On the sea not far away, a violent light group suddenly bloomed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 232 Joeys decision Chapter 232 Joeys decision ?The moment the light group burst out, the entire sea area seemed to light up, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the sea area. Thats Xia En looked from a distance and saw a light group with a diameter of tens of meters floating on the sea. But he was so familiar with that bright and dazzling light that he couldn''t be more familiar with it. Isnt this the divine magic of the Hui religion? Xia En had a strange expression: "Moreover, this level of brilliance and such a large scope... is definitely not something ordinary believers can achieve!" To be honest, Shanes first thought was His trouble has happened! ??Hui sent people to clean up the door! ??But then I thought about it, if the Hui Sect really came to kill him, the inner ghost, why not go directly to the Black Swan? ?So, why do these Hui sect believers come? ??Xia En took a closer look and vaguely saw that in the light group was a medium-sized pirate ship, which seemed to be of little fame. After all, any pirate ship that is somewhat famous will have very conspicuous features. This made Xia En even more curious. ??What evil did this group of little pirates commit that led to retaliation from the Hui Sect? Curious, but after Xia En carefully sensed the level of the secret power of the light group, he said directly. Lets go! Good guy, at least the sixth level of secret power! You cant afford to offend me, so you cant afford to hide? ?At the same time, taking advantage of this time, Xia En also opened the panel and checked the status of the next two crew members. Crew: Xian GeMaya (bound) Race: Bronze Dragon Rank: three Talent: Majesty of the Bronze Dragon; Wings in the Sky; Resistance to Pollution; Sensitive Sensing; Knowledgeable... Skills: Fire Forging; Mimicry Magic; Provocation; Melee Combat; Dragon Language Magic... Description: The young dragon has initially grown up, possessing the wings to soar in the sky for a long time and the horns to master the power of "forged fire". But it still has a long way to go before it can wear the crown of bronze and fire. After reading Xian Ges personal panel, Xia En nodded with satisfaction. ?This promotion has brought a lot of benefits to Xian Ge. The new talent [Wings of Sky and Sky] obviously refers to the pair of dark golden wings behind it. Of course the original Xian Ge can fly, but it can only fly short distances at low altitudes. This new talent gives it the ability to truly soar into the sky. ?In Xia Ens opinion, Xian Ge can undoubtedly become an extremely good investigator. A flying unit! ??This is still a very rare unit for pirates on the Seven Seas. It is excellent whether it is to detect the enemy''s situation in advance or to launch an attack as a back-up. Isnt there such a saying? How to lose with the flying dragon riding on the face! ?Furthermore, Xia En felt that through [Captains Majesty], he also got part of the effect of [Wings of Sky and Sky]. Its not that a pair of wings grew directly from his back, but that he seemed to have a mysterious intimacy with the sky and airflow. After that, when Xia En uses blood energy to fly again, he will probably fly more easily and with less effort. ?However, what makes Xia En a little curious is Xian Ges newly obtained [Mimicry Magic] and [Fire Forging Technique]. The former is easier to understand. It is probably some kind of spell that changes the appearance. But the latter Xia En clicked on the annotation of this skill and looked at it carefully. Forging Fire Type: Skill Quality: inferior Description: One of the bronze dragon''s innate abilities. Can use flames to temper metal equipment, weapons, and materials. Remove some impurities and improve the quality without affecting the original characteristics of the item. The higher the quality of the flame, the higher the rank of the bronze dragon, and the better the quenching effect. After reading it, Xia En understood immediately. Oh, forge! ?But shouldnt this be the talent of dwarves? Why does the bronze dragon have such skills? Or is it that the bronze dragons in this world are different from what he remembered? Think about it, the ancient dragons in this world have disappeared for thousands of years, and many rare talents have not been recorded. Either way, this is a very practical skill. ??There happened to be Yan Yan on the ship, and the quality of his flames was rare in the world. ?Xia En has made up his mind to let Xian Ge temper the crew''s equipment and even some core components on the ship. It can be improved a little bit! There is a ready-made palu...crew, so why not use it? Immediately, Shane looked at Joey''s personal panel again. Crew: Joey (bound) Bloodline: Siren (activated) Secret Path Occupation: Level 3 (Deep Sea Singer) Talent: Storm Power (incomplete); Sea Water Affinity; Graceful Singing Voice; Magic Affinity Skills: Storm magic (summoning storm, sea breeze infiltration, hymn singing); siren transformation; acute gastroenteritis... Description: The girl chosen by the Storm Goddess. However, the attention and love of gods may not always be a good thing. What may be waiting for her will be the end? ?Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. The name "Deep Sea Singer" represents what Joey has obtained, which is obviously another hidden profession. This should be a good thing. ?But at the same time, Xia En also noticed that the suffix of the original [Storm Authority] was changed from [extremely incomplete] to [incomplete]. In other words, Joey gained more authority from the Storm Goddess. The vision caused by her promotion just now, as well as the skill [Storm Magic], fully illustrate this point. But the problem is ?Joy is not a believer of the Storm Goddess, let alone a priest or priest. A person who does not believe in the Storm Goddess at all has gained the authority of the goddess. ?This incident itself is extremely strange. Just like the sentence in the description, the gaze and love of gods may not be a good thing. ?The only possible connection between Joy and the Storm Goddess is her siren bloodline, her mother Diana, and some experiences she had when she was young. [The Truth Society] imprisoned Joy and her mother and conducted research in order to steal the authority of the gods..." And now, Joey is indeed gaining the authority of the storm... Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he connected many previous clues together. Then, from the perspective of the [Truth Society], Joey is just a container and a tool. Xia En was horrified. He suddenly understood why the [Truth Society] cared so much about Joey. The authority over the storm that Joey received is like a growing fruit and a vigorously growing leek. ?When she truly "matures", that''s when the Truth Society will swing its sickle and reap the fruits. Not only that, the divinity of the Storm Goddess will also have a great influence on Joey. ?Just like that moment ago, the feeling Joey gave Xia En was particularly strange. It was as if he had become a different person. As Joey continues to gain the authority of the Storm Goddess, this divine infection will only become more serious. ??If Joey''s humanity is completely replaced by divinity, she will no longer be the innocent and lively girl she was before. Instead, it became an empty shell without a soul, or a lofty statue of a god. "Huh..." Xia En exhaled a long breath, feeling extremely heavy. I have to say that Joey has always had a very special status in Xia En''s heart. ??Joy is the first crew member since Shane''s time travel, and the only one who accompanies him through the most difficult and weakest period. ??Its also Joey, who has witnessed the [Black Swan] grow from a small broken ship to the current giant ship on the sea. Not to mention, Joey is a very charming girl. ??Xia En would definitely be lying if he said he had no special feelings. At the moment, the only good news is probably that the [Truth Society] does not seem to be sure of Joeys identity. This can also be seen from the attitude of [Thousand Changes] last time. ??If they really knew that Joey was the Siren who escaped back then, they would definitely send a large number of strong men to capture her directly. This may be an oversight by the [Truth Society]. It may also be that the original plan later encountered some problems. ?However, as the reputation of Shane and [Black Swan] becomes more and more widespread, more and more interested people will inevitably notice Joeys existence. In case the [Truth Society] discovers Joeys identity... ?Xia Ens expression became more solemn and he thought to himself. It seems that the [Truth Society] cannot be destroyed forever! We need to add more firepower to [The Land of Glory] and find other forces that can deal with the [Truth Society]. ?Faced with such a huge organization, Xia En has no intention of speedrunning alone. He doesnt have that ability now! In this case, we must try our best to attract the available forces. Make friends more numerous and enemies less numerous. This sentence is a wise saying. The Huijiao, of course, is one of them. They have already started working with the Truth Society. The Federation of the Seven Seas can also be counted as half. The Federation probably still has a disgusting attitude toward the [Truth Society], a secretive organization that acts crazy. ??However, due to the mixed situation within the Federation, it may have been infiltrated into a sieve by the [Truth Society]. So it can only be counted as half. Finally, the name of a sect came to Seans mind The Nether Sect! Judging from Mr. Heller''s actions, this sect that believes in ancient gods has a lot of goodwill towards him. Under normal circumstances, Xia En would definitely stay away from the [Netherworld Sect], but in order to eliminate the [Truth Society], he would not mind making some contacts. "These three forces should have a lot of confidence in facing the [Truth Society], right?" "However, I still have to find an entry point..." At this time, Xia En did not know that his sudden idea would set off a terrible storm on the Seven Seas. That was a real **** storm. ?In front of him, the girl with white hair and red eyes watched the captain''s expression change from joy to thought, and then worry, and even a little panic. ?But in the end, Mr. Captain seemed to have made some kind of determination, and his expression returned to his usual calmness. To be honest, Joey found Mr. Captains changing expressions very interesting. After all, except for the first few encounters with enemies, Xia En had shown some panic. After that, he basically had a confident and calm attitude. The reason is simple. Shane is the captain. ?The captain must bear the lives of the people on this ship! The crew can be timid and weak, but the captain cannot. ??If the captain collapses, the ship is not far away from being destroyed. ??But as the first crew member to know Sean, Joey still hopes that the captain can trust and rely on them more and not have to shoulder everything by himself. After noticing Shanes gaze several times, Joey suddenly came to his senses... ?Mr. Captain, maybe this expression has something to do with yourself? After hesitating for a moment, Joey asked proactively. Mr. Captain, what happened? If the trouble is related to me, please tell me, I am serious. ?Xia En looked into the girls stubborn eyes and suddenly realized... Actually, its not just him who has changed. ??Joy has been on the Black Swan for so long and has experienced several crises together. He is no longer the timid little follower he was at the beginning. ?Shane is not a pretentious person. Regarding Joey''s life experience, she does have the right to know. ?Hence, Xia En told Joey all his speculations and worries in detail. Experimental subjectcontainerthe authority of the Storm Goddessthe Society of Truth ?Joy muttered to himself, silently chewing on these shocking secrets. Her little face was slightly pale, but her expression was still calm. In her own words. Youve been with Mr. Captain for so long and seen so many big scenes, youre finally getting used to it, right? Soon, Joey calmed down and asked. Mr. Captain, is that [Truth Society] really powerful? "Yes." Xia En nodded: "With our current strength, we really can''t afford to provoke them." The most we can do is eliminate some of its minions. ??Joy was not disappointed, and just said: "Then I will try to show as little publicity as possible in the future. Anyway, I am a mage and can cast spells in the dark." "There is also the Storm Magic, but I don''t want to use it blatantly." Xia En said: "As long as you are not associated with the Storm Magic, it shouldn''t have much to do with it." Its actually quite normal to have priests from the Deep Sea Church on the ship. "Um." ??Joy responded, then raised his head, looked into Xia En''s eyes, and said seriously. Mr. Captain, I will continue to walk on the secret road. "But" "I know that Mr. Captain is worried that if I continue to advance, I will be contaminated by the divinity of the Storm Goddess." ??Joy''s tone was more serious than ever: "But I think I can overcome this." I can stick to my own heart under the influence of divinity. ?Joy paused and continued to express his judgment. I have personally experienced the advent of the Storm Goddesss consciousness. I feel that she does not have such strong malice, especially towards our Siren family. Otherwise, I would not be able to control the storm. In my opinion, this divinity may be a test. Only by passing this test can one climb to a higher level. Hearing these words, Xia En fell into thinking. ?Joys guess undoubtedly reveals another possibility. ?If this conjecture is true, Joey will gain more and more authority as he continues to pass the test. In the end, even replace the Storm Goddess? My crew are gods? ?Shane gave up those far-fetched fantasies. In fact, when Joey said these words, he had already concluded it in his heart. He smiled and said, "Well, I believe you." (End of this chapter) Chapter 233 [Witch of Annihilation] and [Sea of ??Annihilation] Chapter 233 [Witch of Annihilation] and [Sea of ??Annihilation] ?While Shane was communicating with Joey, the [Black Swan] was also getting farther and farther away from the sea where the light group was blooming. So, they dont know After a while, the dazzling light gradually faded, revealing the original appearance of the pirate ship. ?On the ship, the pirates controlled by [Grey Mask] all fell on the deck. ?However, they did not die, but fell into a coma. ??When the pirates wake up, they will probably forget everything that happened before, and will only remember that a dazzling white light lit up in front of their eyes. Among the scattered pirates, the expressions on the faces of the five [Glow Guards] were as calm as before, without any emotional changes. ?If you look closely, you will find that these [Glow Guards] have always had a temperament that is different from ordinary people. Indifferent, cold, sacred. In other words, some...non-human characteristics. Its like Joey when he was just promoted. This is the impact of "divinity". ?These [Glow Guards] have long decided to devote their lives to serving the great radiance, so they have sacrificed some human qualities. For example, the emotions that humans should have. Similarly, this is also one of the prices for gaining strength. At this time, the leader of the [Glow Guards] held the head of a gray-haired woman in his hand. ??It is exactly the face that Jia Xiu, the Thousand Changer, has shown. Thousand Changesis still dead after all. ?Although her methods are indeed weird and unpredictable, facing a luxurious lineup of two legends and three sixth-level warriors, it can only allow her to survive for a few dozen seconds. ??The guard opened the [Glory Crystal Mirror] with his other hand and reported without any fluctuation in tone. [Thousand Changers] Jasio Rosas is dead. But the forbidden relic [Grey Mask] has disappeared and is suspected of escaping on its own. Please ask the Archbishop for instructions. When the quality of the forbidden relics reaches a certain level, spiritual wisdom will be born. Of course, this intelligence may not be too high. It is more likely to be like an ignorant cub, instinctively seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Therefore, we will use our own abilities to stay away from those enemies that are too powerful. This is what the Glow Guards meant by "escaping on their own". Soon, Archbishop Musas voice sounded: Our goal is only the [Thousand Changers]. Its just a forbidden relic, so dont pay too much attention to it. For ordinary secret travelers, such forbidden relics are undoubtedly a coveted treasure. But for Huijiao, which has a profound foundation, it may not be so important. ?Take this sudden "suppression of heresy" operation as an example. The [Glow Guards] relied on a more mysterious and ancient relic to locate Jia Xiu''s location and opened her box directly. ?Musa continued: "Now that the mission is completed, come back as soon as possible." The war with the [Truth Society] is about to begin, and you will play a vital role in it. Hearing this, the five Glow Guards responded: "Yes, Bishop!" Suddenly, a glorious door opened in front of them. The five people stepped into it together and disappeared. at the same time. A corner of the cabin of the Black Swan. A gray-white dry mask lay there quietly, without even the strength to move. The surface of the mask was full of cracks, as if it would completely shatter at any time, and the expression on it was even uglier than crying. Finally...escaped... Gray MaskThe immature spirit thought this way, giving birth to a feeling of surviving a disaster. Its last host is indeed dead, and cannot die any more. And [Gray Mask] took advantage of the light group to light up and used his own ability to arrive in the cabin of the ship. The reason why it is the [Black Swan] is, on the one hand, because the distance between the two ships is not too far. On the other hand, it is because [Gray Mask] once left a secret mark on this ship. ?This is the reason why [Thousand Changers] can confirm the location of [Black Swan]. ?Through the traction of this mark, [Gray Mask] was transported to the [Black Swan], but it also exhausted its remaining power. ?However, [Gray Mask] was not panicked. In its long "mask life", it actually encountered this situation many times. ?As long as it meets a host, as long as it is a little greedy, it will not be able to help but wear this mask, and then step by step fall into the big network it weaves. Using [Forbidden Relics] usually comes with a price, and the more powerful the relic, the more dangerous the price. This is why they are called "taboos". The cost of using [Grey Mask] is soul. ?As long as you wear this mask, it means that the "contract" has been reached. Every time the subsequent host uses the ability of [Gray Mask], a part of the soul will be assimilated by the mask. Until the end, the soul was completely swallowed by the [Grey Mask] and completely turned into a puppet of this relic. As for the previous host [Thousand Changers], he actually used a very tricky method. She chose to trade with [Gray Mask]. ?Each time the ability is used, [Thousand Transformers] will sacrifice the souls of the people they transformed into. Coupled with some measures from the [Truth Society] for checks and balances. This allowed the two sides to maintain a delicate balance and coexist in "harmony" for so long. At the moment, getting rid of the previous host may not be a bad thing for [Grey Mask]. It is equivalent to releasing some of the constraints and limitations. Someone is coming? Gray MaskGlanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blue figure flashing not far away. It suddenly felt a little excited. It doesnt want to stay in a dark cabin all its life. Its original plan was to wait until it naturally accumulated some strength and then sneak up on the deck. ?Then, it was natural for him to be discovered and picked up by the captain of the ship. Gray Maskhas long observed that the captain of this ship is very extraordinary, especially the quality of his soul, which is completely different from ordinary people. ??If the soul of an ordinary mystic is compared to a home-cooked dish, then Shane''s soul is equivalent to a Manchu-Han banquet prepared by a group of five-star chefs. It exudes an extremely attractive fragrance all the time. Gray Maskeven had a premonition that if the captain''s soul could be completely swallowed, it would even undergo a transformation like a rebirth. ?Of course, if it is picked up by other crew members, [Gray Mask] will not be disappointed. The crew members on this ship all have their own merits and are excellent food for the ship. At this time, the figure that appeared in the cabin was its first prey! Soon, the man walked up to [Gray Mask]. Perhaps to be precise. Its not walking, its drifting? ?Miss Ghost, who is wearing a blue robe and has a looming figure, is on daily patrol. ?Due to the characteristics of the ghost, Vivian can ignore the walls and appear in any corner of the [Black Swan]. Xia En simply handed over the daily inspection and wheel-finding tasks to her, which was considered as finding something for her to do. Vivian lowered her head and looked at the extra masks on the wooden board in surprise. Where did this thing come from? It seems like there wasnt one before, right? She was surprised, and [Gray Mask] was even more surprised. This little girl is a ghost?! Gray Maskhas followed several hosts, including powerful ones like Thousand Transformers. In terms of knowledge, it should exceed 80% of the secret travelers in the Seven Seas, and they have naturally seen the existence of ghosts. But the ghost in front of him was different from what he remembered. Ghost, as the remaining soul body of life, is actually very unstable. ?Many ghosts can only last for a few days, and some are crazy, with extremely chaotic memories and emotions, like a landmine that can explode at any time. But right now, this blue-haired, blue-robed ghosts expression and tone are just like a normal person. ?The soul is very complete. ?However, at this time, [Grey Mask] did not give [Gray Mask] too long to think about this situation. Forget it, ghosts will be ghosts. Her soul may also be very delicious... ?Hence, [Gray Mask] whispered in a seductive voice: "Come on...come on..." Put on me and I will give you strength Vivian was startled: "What is the sound? Is this mask talking?" After a brief hesitation, Vivian picked up the mask. No one wants me even if I think about it. Unlike the other crew members on the ship, Vivian was forced to stay on the Black Swan - in order to escape from the cage-like island. Her relationship with Shane is not as close as other crew members. ??Although Xia En once said that when Vivian needs to take action, she cannot refuse. But in fact, there has never been a situation that was critical enough for Vivian to take action. Her biggest achievement so far should be the plates of barbecue at the celebration banquet. So, even Xia En doesnt know her true combat power. At this time, Vivian planned to study this strange mask herself before giving it to the captain. This is exactly what [Gray Mask] wants. Gray MaskThe corner of his mouth raised a smile. Young girl, wear me, and you will have the power to control peoples hearts. Oh? So powerful? Is it true? Vivian didnt think much and directly covered her face with the [Grey Mask]. A burst of ecstasy immediately appeared on [Gray Mask]s face. ?It never expected that this ghost would be so easy to deceive, so it foolishly put it on itself. "In this case, the contract has been concluded..." At this moment, [Gray Mask] suddenly stopped talking. Nothats not right! You ?It suddenly realized that the soul in contact with it was by no means a sheep that it could plunder, but... A cold, deep, dead mass, like a thousand-year-old ice existence. She was supposed to be sleeping. ?And his touch made her wake up slightly. In an instant, a force called "Nirvana" quickly infected [Gray Mask]. ??There are more and more cracks on the surface of this mask, and its expression is getting stiffer and stiffer. Gray Maskfinally felt a fear that was stronger than ever ?It feels its power is rapidly diminishing. ?Its remaining soul is leaving its body as quickly as the ice and snow melt in spring! ?Like the hosts it swallowed in the past. ?Amidst the great fear, a trembling voice finally came from under the mask: "You... you are not an ordinary ghost, what on earth are you..." In the process, the mask gradually blended into Miss Ghosts face. The tear mole has become a part of her. Or maybe, there was a tear mole in the corner of her eye? Witch. The ghost girl suddenly laughed: "Someone once called me...the witch of annihilation who controls the soul." ?However, at this time, [Grey Mask] could no longer be heard. Ten seconds later. Vivian looked in front of her eyes, touched her face again, and said doubtfully. Wheres my mask? Wheres my big mask? She was not the type to get hung up on such trivial matters. After wondering for a while, she continued her patrol mission. No one knows what happened deep in the cabin. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] continue to move steadily towards their destination. Seven days later. Two ships sailed into an unusual sea area. On the deck, Xia En looked around at the sea and clearly felt the change in the environment. The sky in this sea area seems to be darker. A gust of sea breeze blew, bringing a slight chill. ?The color of the sea water is obviously darker. If you look closely, it is faintly red and black, as if a sea beast died here not long ago. In contrast. Swimming fish and even other marine life in the sea seem to have become scarce. Let alone the ships on the sea. ?At a glance, the entire sea area gives people a desolate and dead feeling. This is the [Sea of ??Annihilation]? ?Shaan secretly marveled: It feels a bit similar to the Dead Sea on Earth. But the reason why there are rare traces of living things in the Dead Sea is because of the extremely high salt concentration in the seawater, and here... is it because there is a special secret power in the seawater? Could it be related to the kingdom that existed here before the great flood? To be honest, Shane didnt have much interest in exploring history. He is just a captain, not an archaeologist. But after traveling back to the past [Emerald Island], he knew that if he wanted to change history, he must first understand history. It was only then that we began to pay attention to issues that had been ignored before. Mr. Captain! ??Joy stood beside him and asked curiously: "I heard that if you go east from the [Sea of ??Annihilation], you will reach the [Ashless Sea]." What would the sea be like without sunlight? Sunless Sea ?The last time Xia En heard this name was when he was communicating with the apostles during the promotion ceremony. This sea area actually still existed in the post-Flood era. ??Moreover, the secret treasures hidden in it have also attracted countless captains. ?Even, the reason why some ships appear in the [Sea of ??Annihilation] is to pass through this sea area and reach the fertile [Sunless Sea]. Xia En is not ready to explore the [Sunless Sea] yet, but he also silently wrote down the name as a backup option. At this time. Xian Ge, who was hovering over the Black Swan, landed and reported. Captain Shane, there is an unknown ship approaching from the northeast! (End of this chapter) Chapter 234 【Mrs. Ji Ya】【City of Giant Trees】 Chapter 234 [Mrs. Ji Ya] [City of Giant Woods] ?Hearing this information, Xia En was not panicked and asked Xian Ge. What kind of ship is it? Xiangehui reported: "It is a large gray-black ship, bigger than the [Black Swan], with an orange snowflake pattern printed on the sail." Xia En suddenly understood: "Don''t worry, that''s not our enemy." ?The owner of that big ship is obviously "Nuan Xue" whom he contacted in [The Land of Glory]. In the past seven days, Xia En often "chatted online" with the other party. Not only to inquire about the situation of [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [City of Giant Trees] in advance, but also to get to know this "netizen" whom I have never met before. ??Although the identity of a Huijiao believer provides basic trust. But can believers who have not seen the [Truth Society] sneak into the [Land of Glory]? Perhaps this netizen has other identities. ??Xia En has seen many cases on earth where netizens rushed to the scene and ended up being deceived and cheated. Have to guard against it! ?Through these days of chatting, Xia En also found out some information about Nuan Xue. ?For example, Xia En knew that her code name was named after her own ship. ?Furthermore, what Nuanxue does is not the pirate business, but a very new business. According to her own words, it is called... Sea of ??AnnihilationSearch and rescue team! As the name suggests, it is to search and rescue ships in danger in the [Sea of ??Annihilation], or to send distressed crew members stranded at sea or on isolated islands out of the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. At first glance, it sounds very outrageous, and it is very different from the law of the jungle in the Seven Seas. But then I thought about it. Due to the danger of the [Sea of ??Annihilation], the proportion of ships wrecked here is far higher than in other sea areas. There will always be unlucky people who lose their ships and are forced to fall into the sea. Furthermore, for the stronger Mystic Pathfinders, people may not die if the ship is lost. ?Take Sean as an example. After he obtained [Sea Affinity/Control], with his physical strength, he could swim in the sea for three days and three nights without any problem. ??There is no need to say more about a siren like Joey. ?Although ordinary sailors are not so exaggerated, they can more or less persist for a period of time. This is the business opportunity of [Nuanxuehao]! It is well known that when a person is about to die, he is willing to pay any price. The crew of the "Warm Snow" used this to make a contract with them, asking them to spend a sum of money to eliminate the disaster. ?Some secret travelers have no money, but at least they have family, friends, or some money saved on an island, and they can still scrape it together. ??Other secret travelers really dont have money, so lets pay the debt first, work for a few years on the Warm Snow, and then let them go free again. Sounds like they are taking advantage of the situation and trying to make a fortune. ??However, the [Nuanxue] has indeed rescued many sailors in distress over the years, providing a guarantee for the explorers of the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. No matter what, this is much better than directly plundering the pirate ship. And [Nuanxue] also grew stronger little by little in the process. ??Both the funds and the number of crew members are far beyond the initial state. So, Xia Encai said, this is a very new business. It is a completely different way of survival from that of pirates. ?Of course, [Nuanxue] is not only engaged in search and rescue business, but also part-time in a series of businesses such as delivering supplies, giving away people, working as bodyguards, and working as mercenaries. To put it bluntly, its a bit like the House of All Things on the Sea of ??Annihilation. As long as you give money, everything is easy to discuss. Over time, [Nuanxue] has accumulated a pretty good reputation on the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. This is one of the reasons why Xia En decided to meet her. While Xia En was thinking about these things, the outline of the "Nuanxue" had appeared on the sea not far away, and it was quickly approaching in this direction. It didnt take long. Xia En met the captain of the "Warm Snow". To his surprise, the other party turned out to be a charming and mature woman, with fair complexion, good looks, and an proud figure. She looked like a noble lady living in the palace, and she also had a gentle and watery temperament. Looking a little weak, it is easy for men to feel protective. ?Just looking at her appearance, it is difficult to imagine that she is a captain who wanders around the sea. You must be Captain Shane. ??The woman came to the deck of the [Black Swan] with several crew members, took the initiative to extend her hand and said: "I am the captain of the [Nuanxue], Jiya." You can call me Mrs. Ji Ya, nice to meet you. Ji Yas actions were generous and graceful, so Xia En certainly didnt show any timidity and shook hands with her. Hello, Mrs. Ji Ya. At the same time, Xia En''s vigilance against this woman became even more heightened. He noticed that the sailors on the "Nuanxue" were extremely respectful towards Jia and did not dare to show any strange emotions in their eyes. This means that Jiya has absolute control over the entire ship. A woman, especially a beautiful woman, often has to work harder than a man if she wants to do this. It is also enough to prove that her methods are extraordinary. ??If anyone really treats this woman as a weak vase that can be bullied, I''m afraid he will be eaten to the point where no bones are left! ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En continued: "I came to the [Sea of ??Annihilation] to investigate the [City of Giant Wood] on the order of Lord [Black Light]." Please Madam Jiya, please take us to the sea area where [City of Giant Woods] is located as soon as possible. ?Although he has decided to become an "offline base", Xia En does not intend to use the identity of [Black Light] to contact Jiya. On the one hand, [Black Light] received the oracle from the Lord of Radiance. ??If someone discovers that his true identity is actually just a fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder, his status in the [Land of Glory] will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. ??It is not conducive for Xia En to continue to fan the flames. On the other hand, it is to prevent [Nuanxuehao] from taking advantage of others. ?Hence, Xia En put on the vest of "[Black Light]''s subordinates" on himself. As a senior member of the Hui Sect who is secretive, it is normal to have so many younger brothers, right? About this point, Xia En had mentioned it to Jiya before in [The Land of Glory]. So at this time, Jiya did not have the slightest doubt and said with a smile: "Okay." Captain Shane, please follow our ship. If nothing else happens, we will arrive at our destination in about three hours. After saying that, Jiya turned her head and gave orders to the crew of the "Nuanxue". The [Nuanxue] chose a direction and moved forward steadily. ?This series of actions was smooth and smooth, which made Xia En quite satisfied. How else could [Nuanxue] be able to flourish in [Sea of ??Annihilation]! ?With this business ability, I can stay away from the pirates who only know how to rob. ?While taking advantage of the time on the road. ??Ji Ya''s eyes swept across the deck of the [Black Swan], and a flash of astonishment flashed deep in her beautiful eyes. There is no other reason. The crew on this ship is really too small! ?On the surface, there are actually less than ten crew members. Given the size of this ship, it was too little. ??But what surprised Jia even more was that she could not see through any of the crew members who appeared on the deck.? ? ? ? A knight wearing a closed armor. He is obviously not very strong, but it makes people feel a little uneasy for no reason. A girl with short hair dressed in men''s clothing seemed to have extremely noble blood. In front of "her", her blood became restless for no reason. A mage with white hair and red eyes actually carries the aura of a god? ??The thing that Jiya couldn''t see through the most was actually the good-looking Captain Xia En. ?Staying on this ship, you have the feeling of being on the opponent''s home court. Under that seemingly thin body, there seems to be a power that cannot be underestimated. ??Moreover, the other party, the other crew members, and even the ship seemed to form a whole. Even if Jiya is a fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder, she would never want to start a war with them here. ?However, their relationship was originally that of friends rather than enemies. Jiya''s thoughts only flashed through her mind before she spoke. "If I read correctly, Captain Shane''s rank should only be at level four?" ?Shaan nodded frankly: "That''s right." After reaching a certain level, the rank of the Secret Pather cannot be hidden if one wants to. Because there are obvious differences between each level. ? And higher-level secret path practitioners can also easily judge the rank of others based on past experience. They were all wearing vests anyway, and Xia En didnt mind revealing this to Jiya. Ji Ya thought for a moment and said seriously: "Captain Xia En, please forgive me." The underwater ruins of [City of Giant Wood] are very dangerous, and the strength of the fourth level may be a bit low. Jiyas words were actually out of good intentions. Having been in the [Sea of ??Annihilation] for so long, she has already seen many stories of people who overestimated their own strength, forced exploration of ruins, and ended up with ships being destroyed and people dying without a burial place. ?Although Xia En may not listen to her words, she still needs to persuade her. ?Xia En naturally heard Jia Yas kindness. Normally speaking, a fourth-level mystic would definitely take huge risks by going to the [City of Giant Woods]. If you are not careful, you will die on the spot. But the problem is He is in trouble! Deep Sea DivingThis talent is the foundation for Xia En to grow from weak to strong step by step. Facing the unknown environment of [City of Giant Trees], Xia En certainly would not be stupid and directly use the main body to explore the sea. The correct and safe method is to use [Projection Body] to explore the path first. Even if the current level 4 strength is not enough, it doesnt matter. ?Shaan can definitely explore the ruins and improve his strength at the same time! The promotion method of the fourth-level profession [Deep Sea Devourer] is to continuously devour the creatures in the deep sea. In fact, Xia En has not been idle these days. He uses [Deep Sea Diving] to dive into deeper waters every day. Coupled with the breakthroughs of Xian Ge and Joey, his strength has been greatly improved. Comprehensive quality: 5.55.8! Career fit: 7%! ?However, Jiya didn''t know about this, so she had such a reminder. At this time, looking at Xia En''s expression, Jiya knew that he probably had no intention of giving up, so she persuaded him. I know that this is probably a task entrusted to you by senior [Black Light], and you must not give up easily. How about this? You hire our [Nuanxue] salvager to go to sea with you. As for the employment fee...Ill give you a discount, 30% off, what do you think? ?Xia Ens mouth twitched slightly. Well, the business has come to me! Now he really understands why [Nuanxue] can do such good business. ?This Mrs. Ji Ya is simply a business genius! ?However, it was impossible for Xia En to expose the existence of [Deep Sea Diving], nor to spend the money wasted. He said decisively: "I appreciate Mrs. Jiya''s kindness." But we really dont need [Nuanxue] to help us explore the ruins. Hearing this, Mrs. Ji Ya had no reaction. ??A young girl next to her couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows: "You are really ignorant. Don''t you understand what my sister means?" With your level four strength alone, exploring the [City of Giant Trees] is going to end in death! Bring our people with you, maybe you can complete your mission... Lucy! Jiya frowned and interrupted the girl with a stern tone. Immediately, she glanced at Sean apologetically: "I''m sorry, Captain Sean." I neglected my sister and made you laugh. "elder sister!" Lucy screamed in grievance. She didn''t think she had made any mistake, but looking at her sister''s serious expression, she didn''t dare to continue. Holly, take Lucy back first. Jiya gave instructions to a crew member behind her, and then looked at Xia En again: "Of course it''s best if Captain Xia En has confidence." But the situation in [City of Giant Woods] is indeed complicated. "If you don''t mind, please let me explain something to you. This should be considered as apology for my sister''s rude behavior." followed by. Ji Ya briefly told Xia En about the current situation of [City of Giant Trees]. The ruins under the sea are just like its name, with many huge trees growing there. Although it seems counterintuitive that trees can grow in seawater, in a world of extraordinary power, this is not an unusual situation. ?In the [City of Giant Trees], in addition to the sea beasts infected by the mysterious power, there are also a group of tree people residents. ?Those tree figures seem to have some special power, thus gaining the ability to live in sea water. The source of that power is the gods they believe in Giant Wood God! It is said that it is a **** born from the giant tree forest. Only by offering sacrifices to him can the tree people survive in the sea water. The sacrifices are other living creatures. Fish, sea animals, and even humans on the sea are all their targets. Over the years, the scope of [City of Giant Woods] has not shrunk, but has continued to expand. And all areas encompassed by this city, without exception, have become restricted areas for life! Ji Ya said seriously: "So, even we are very afraid of this ruins." If we let it continue to grow, maybe the entire [Sea of ??Annihilation] will become the territory of giant trees, right? At that time, there was real silence. After hearing this, Xia En also showed a serious expression. He did not ask Mrs. Jiya why she did not solve this hidden danger. Probably...its not that I dont want to, but that I cant. The power of just one or two ships is still too small for a city. (End of this chapter) Chapter 235 The first dive of [City of Giant Trees] Chapter 235: The First Dive into the City of Giant Trees After this. ?Xia En raised several questions related to the [City of Giant Trees] and [Sea of ??Annihilation]. Ji Ya always told the truth. If there was something she didn''t know about, she wouldn''t pretend to understand. Instead, she would try her best to tell her speculations as pertinently as possible. ?That gentle attitude makes people feel like a spring breeze. I have to say that [Nuanxue] is worthy of being an organization similar to the House of Everything on the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. ?This conversation alone gave Xia En a more comprehensive understanding of the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. At this time. The "Nuanxue" leading the way suddenly slowed down, and the sailors on the ship also looked wary. Captain Shane, here we are. Ji Ya said: "Under this sea water is the [City of Giant Trees]." ?Shaan knew the reason why the crew of the [Nuanxue] showed such an attitude. On the way here, Ji Ya explained to him... ?Over the years, the tree people in [City of Giant Trees] have become increasingly crazier in their behavior, and have even begun to attack ships on the sea. They will use thick vines and branches to drag the ship into the sea water, just like what the giant beasts in the deep sea would do. ?Of course, the tree people may not respond so quickly. ??But just sailing in this sea area makes sailors uneasy, worried that they may encounter attacks from the sea at any time. Xia En took the initiative and said, "Mrs. Jiya, just bring her here." Lets deal with the next thing by ourselves. Jiya did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay." "Then we will leave first. Captain Shane, please pay attention to your own safety." Speaking, Jiya took out an orange-red crystal and handed it to him. If you encounter an irresistible danger, crush this crystal and we will come to the rescue as soon as possible. But at that time, there will definitely be a fee~ Obviously, this crystal can have the effect of notifying Ji Ya and asking for help. Think about it, this is also part of the search and rescue business of [Nuanxue]. Xia En put away the crystal and said with a smile: "I hope I won''t need it." Anyway, thank you Mrs. Jiya for your kindness. If you need help in the future, you can always come to me. A fourth-level mystical practitioner said this to a fifth-level mystical practitioner, which seemed a bit arrogant. ?But for some reason, Jia Ya didn''t find it strange, as if... Xia En did have the potential to fulfill his promise? It didnt take long. Jiya returned to the Nuanxue and ordered to leave the area. ?Her adopted sister Lucy couldn''t help but said as she looked at the [Black Swan] getting further and further away behind her. Sister, will you stop trying to persuade them? "With their strength, how can they be enemies with those tree people? Don''t let us take risks to save them." Although Lucy has a bit of a venomous tongue, she is still kind-hearted in nature. Otherwise, why would she persuade Xia En and the others to leave? "This is Captain Shane''s own decision. We outsiders don''t need to meddle in his own business." There are some things you may say that will offend others. "and" Jiya recalled the confidence in Xia En''s demeanor and tone just now, and chuckled: "Maybe they really have the confidence to explore the [City of Giant Woods]!" HumphIm looking forward to it. Lucy was a little unconvinced. She had seen many captains who were arrogant and arrogant, which eventually led to the destruction of the ship and the death of everyone. In her opinion, Xia En is also one of them. Lucy muttered in a low voice: "Perhaps we will receive their distress signal before too long." Although the other crew members of the Nuanxue did not speak, they all had similar thoughts in their hearts. The strength of the fourth level is already considered good in other sea areas. But in the special sea area of ??[Sea of ??Annihilation], it is really not enough to see. Xia En was neither informed nor curious about the thoughts of the crew of the "Warm Snow". He first sailed the boat to a relatively safe location. Subsequently, Xia En came to the captain''s cabin with ease and sat on the large captain''s chair. Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Start diving? Submarine, start! The familiar feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit him, and chaotic lights and shadows flashed in front of Xia En''s eyes. Different from the usual snorkeling, the surrounding scene became a bit psychedelic. The aroma of Ruoyouruowu spreads in the sea water. ?Everything around you becomes more colorful and delicate, whether it is color, light and shadow, taste or smell, it becomes dazzling. It''s like the underwater world that I''m tired of seeing suddenly turns into a beautiful picture. It is also like being under the influence of a magic potion that can produce hallucinations, seeing the whole world as a more fantastical dream. To put it simply, its like eating a feast of fungi. "This is?" ?Xia En felt a little confused. In his countless previous dives, he had indeed heard and seen some unusual sights. But this was the first time for me to have such a severe and obvious hallucination. Different visions seem to be related to the sea area where [Submarine] is located. Could this be some kind of metaphor? Fortunately, this general situation of "seeing a villain" did not last long. ?In just two breaths, Xia En''s vision returned to normal, and he was able to see the whole of [City of Giant Woods] clearly. What comes into view is a green city. It is different from underwater ruins such as [Coral City], [Rusted Waste City] and [Emerald Ancient City]. [City of Giant Trees] Although it is called a "city", there are actually no traces of buildings or streets built by humans. Some are just countless, huge and dense trees. ?Looking down from above, [City of Giant Trees] looks like an endless underwater forest. ?Those mutated branches, leaves and vines have a soft texture like seaweed, swaying gently in the sea water. Like blood vessels and veins, they connect all the trees together into a huge green network. In the center of the entire city, there is a giant tree. ?That is a huge tree that is so huge that it is indescribable, and its boundaries can no longer be seen, just like a huge mountain range! ?This giant tree is like the heart and core of the entire [City of Giant Trees]. ?Other trees seem to be branches branched out from it, slowly but surely spreading and expanding further away. Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little lost. ??Although he had heard about the magnificence of this city from Ji Ya, he still couldn''t help but be amazed after seeing it with his own eyes. Unless you see it with your own eyes, it is hard for people to believe that there is such a city made of forest under the sea. At the same time, Xia En became even more convinced that the [City of Giant Woods] was related to the elves. Honestly. ?Compared to the [Emerald Holy City], the current [City of Giant Trees] is more in line with Xia Ens imagination of the city where the elves live. In this case, there should also be an Elven Temple in this city. ?Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly and he looked at the giant tree in the center of the city. Normally speaking, special buildings like [Elven Temple] are often placed in the core area. Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, swayed, and dived downwards. ?After being promoted to the fourth level and receiving the talent of [Deep Sea Body], his traveling speed in sea water increased a lot again. Due to the existence of tree people, Xia En did not go straight to the giant tree stupidly. Instead, I chose an area that was neither too remote nor too central to dive. After getting closer to the woods, Xia En felt the magic of this city even more. Everywhere you look, there are towering trees that you have never seen before. The huge tree crowns with lush branches are crisscrossed in the sea water, and the turquoise leaves are fresh and tender. Below, you can also see many tall and short trees and vibrant vines. The fresh and active breath of life spreads in the sea water. ??If you see this scene on any island, it is not too novel. But you must know that this is under the sea! At this depth of sea water, the water pressure alone is not something that ordinary vegetation can withstand. Not to mention, the immersion in sea water, the lack of sunlight, and the salt content of the soil are all environmental factors that are fatal to trees. ?Shaan really couldnt figure out how this forest could survive in the sea. ??Xia En swam to one of the big trees and gently picked off a leaf with his hands. The texture of the leaves is different from the leaves on the island, as if they have become softer and smoother. To touch, it feels a bit like slippery seaweed. The physiological structure of these trees has probably undergone changes. Xia En speculated: "But why are its leaves still green?" ?Based on his superficial biological knowledge, in dim light environments, the chlorophyll in vegetation will gradually decrease and appear dark green or dark black in color. This is also the color of seaweed. At this depth, very little sunlight can penetrate to the bottom of the sea. Theoretically, it should not be enough for plants to carry out photosynthesis. There was a moment of doubt in Xia En''s mind. He was in a trance for no reason. The green leaves suddenly turned dark and dry. But in the next moment. The leaves turned green and fresh again. "Um?" Xia En frowned slightly: "What''s going on?" ?An indescribable strange feeling lingers in my heart, but I can''t figure out the source of this strange feeling. Shortly afterwards, Xia En touched the branches and trunk of the big tree. ?The feel is still greasy, which makes people feel some instinctive discomfort. But other than that, it doesnt seem to be much different from ordinary trees. ?That vigorous vitality proves that it is still surviving tenaciously and vividly. Is this the miracle of life? Xia En murmured in his mind: "In order to survive, these trees have evolved the ability to survive underwater?" Strictly speaking. The transformation from human beings to sea people is such a miracle of life. Its just that it was the result of some kind of forbidden experiment. Behind the scenes are countless **** failure cases. Its really hard for Xia En to believe that these trees evolved into what they are today on their own. Soon, Xia En discovered another anomaly ?This underwater forest is a little too quiet! In a normal forest, there will be a very rich ecosystem, from birds and insects to small rodents and giant predators... Different organisms play different roles and together constitute the forest ecosystem. Underwater, even a city like [Coral City] with coral monsters will have its own ecological circle. But at this time. In this [City of Giant Woods], there was deathly silence all around. Except for the swaying branches and leaves, Xia En couldn''t see any movement. Nothing. Small fish, shrimps, crabs, cat''s eye snails... not even coral polyps. ??Xia En felt a sudden chill in his heart. ??In such a forest full of vitality, there is not even a single living thing? This is obviously not common sense. ?Xia En could not help but think of the custom of tree people offering sacrifices to the [Giant Wood God] as mentioned by Jiya. He originally thought that the target of the tree people was the slightly larger sea creatures. But now it seems that they include all living creatures in the category of sacrifice. Life restricted zone ??Xia En murmured: "This is the real restricted area of ??life!" But why does [Giant Wood God] do this? It is simply unrealistic to say that these creatures have taken over the living space of the forest. In the natural environment, the relationship between animals and plants is complementary to each other. But the [Giant Wood God] wants to create a space where only trees exist, allowing the trees to expand and proliferate infinitely, and sweep away all other creatures within the range. It feels like... Virus? Thats right, its a virus! An extremely xenophobic virus that constantly pollutes the ocean! As for this strong breath of life, it is just a seemingly beautiful outer skin. Because of some understanding of the gods, Xia En couldn''t help but think of a deeper level. Since this city is related to elves, is there any connection between [Giant Wood God] and [Elf Goddess]? Or is it that the [Giant Wood God] is one of the incarnations of the will of the [Elf Goddess]? Different incarnations of a **** will have different names. ?For example, in the Hui religion, some people call the Lord of Hui the [Holy Sun God], while others call him the [Infinite Star God]. Regarding the current situation of [City of Giant Trees], it was difficult for Xia En not to associate it with gods. ??Rumble ?At this moment, a violent vibration came from below. Xia En looked intently. ??In the forest, a big tree suddenly stood up from the ground, its roots and branches fluttering in the sea water, and it rumbled towards Xia En. A pair of dark green eye sockets appeared above the tree trunk. At the lower part, a big mouth was opened. ?It roared in a hoarse voice. For the gift of the giant wood god! Outsiders, become part of something greater! Treant! ?This figure that suddenly rose up was a tree man. Thinking about it, it was Xia En''s wandering around just now that attracted its attention. ??This is the first time for Xia En to see this strange race. From the appearance, it barely has the outline of a human being, with many branches twisted to form arms, and the roots turning into legs. ?Combined with that tall body, charging forward like this does have a lot of pressure. ?However, Xia En, who has experienced many battles, is not easy to mess with. ?He did not dodge or evade, but rushed towards the tree man in front of him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 236 The malice of the forest Chapter 236 The Malice of the Forest ˡ The moment Xia En and the tree man collided, there was a sudden muffled sound in the sea water. The undercurrent is centered on the collision point between the two parties and suddenly expands in all directions. The nearby trees were affected by the current, swaying this way and that, their branches and leaves swaying, as if a small storm was set off under the water. When the overall quality reached 5.8, Xia En''s strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ferocious beast in human form. ?Especially in the state of [Projection Body], he can exert his full strength without worrying about any injuries. ?However, what surprised Xia En was that the power of the tree man in front of him was actually quite good. I stood in front of him for about three seconds before falling backwards. ?The pair of arms made of branches continued to shatter under the huge force, and even the trunks had cracks. This is not an exaggeration by Shane. At similar levels, anyone who can wrestle with him head-on for a moment can already be regarded as having natural divine power. You...how is that possible? At this time, the tree man''s mood could only be described as horrified. You must know that the tree people, as one of the companion races of the elves, have always been known for their strength and defense, like a walking fortress. In those ancient times, tree men were used as natural siege machines. However, he couldn''t hold on for even three seconds in front of this vague figure? ?Horse to horror, but after receiving the [Seed of Life] given by the [Giant Wood God], the tree man decided to dedicate everything he had to that great god. Even if It is its life! Outsiders who invade the kingdom of God, go to hell! ??The tree man roared angrily, and his injured body exploded. ?Those vines and branches formed an overwhelming net, entangling Xia En from all directions like tentacles. ?The "tentacles" of this branch are unusually powerful, and the barbs on the vines are trying to penetrate Xia En''s body and draw blood. ??If the average person falls into this big net, it is very likely that they will be directly sucked into having sex! As a [projection body], Xia En can ignore the attacks of vines. ?But the entanglement of those tentacles still startled him slightly, and it took some effort to break free. at the same time. A few lines of text flashed on the panel. Kill the alienated tree man! Obtain trophies: Fragments of alienated tree man Quality: inferior Type: Material int End to the end] The tree man who was infected by the secret power of ~~ has undergone changes in his body, mind and way of living. They are willing to sacrifice everything for their gods. Please note that this race is a social creature. "Um?" ?Xia En frowned slightly. In the description, the prefix about "secret power" becomes vague and difficult to distinguish. Why does this happen? ?Xia En not only recalled the chaotic illusions that flashed before his eyes during the previous [submersible], but also vaguely felt that there might be some connection between the two. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" in the corpse has been detected. Do you want to absorb it? These tree people also have [Secret Sea Crystals]? ?Xia En was overjoyed and decisively chose to absorb it. Ship Soul Experience +1%! (Black Swan)] Ship Soul Experience +2%! (Diamond Star)] ?During this period of time, when Xia En was submersing in long distances, he certainly did not forget to brush up the ship soul experience of the two ships. However, after the ship soul level reaches LV5, it is quite difficult to increase every point of experience. So much so that the ship spirit level of [Black Swan] is stuck at LV5 and cannot be upgraded yet. On the other hand, [Diamond Star] successfully passed the LV4 threshold. At this time, the experience progress of the two ships are as follows. Black Swan: LV5 (53%)! Diamond Star: LV4 (8%)! ?The familiar coolness flowed into his body. Before Xia En could feel it carefully, he suddenly noticed some rustling noises coming from the sea water around him. ?Xia En looked at it carefully, and his scalp suddenly felt numb. Not far away, I saw that the forest on the seabed was already agitated. One giant tree after another pulled out its roots from the soil below and swam menacingly in the direction of Xia En. ?Each tree man is extremely tall, and when they move together, they have the aura of a mountain collapsing and the earth shattering. ?At this moment, Xia En understood why there was a reminder in the description that they were social creatures. It took Xia En a lot of effort to kill the tree man just now. At this moment, if you are surrounded by this group of tree people... ??Although Xia En may not die, he will at least be held back. There are countless tree people in the whole sea of ??trees. Killing one will only attract more. ??If they continue to fight, Xia En''s ship soul power will be exhausted sooner or later. ?Thinking of this, Xia En swam directly in the other direction without hesitation. Compared to the tree man, he is obviously much smaller in size. He hides in the dense forest and is difficult to find. Thats how it should be. ?But soon, Xia En realized that no matter how he hid, ??The furious tree people can always quickly discover his location and swarm him. Boom! Xia En knocked back one of the tree men with one punch, and at the same time, he used the recoil to retreat backwards. Strange, how did they find me? ?Xia En glanced at the forest with his peripheral vision, and suddenly noticed a hint of malice and a feeling of being spied on. Wait...its the forest itself!? Xia En suddenly came to his senses. ??As residents of this underwater forest, the tree people are inextricably linked to the forest. In other words, they are part of the forest! In the mouths of the tree people, this forest is even called the "Kingdom of God." "Perhaps...this forest has its own will. The feeling of being spied on just now was that it was watching me." In other words, as long as I am in the forest, the tree people can always lock my position. Xia En couldn''t help but frown. What he has to fight now is not just one or two tree men, but the malice of the entire forest! ?Shaan looked around and saw more and more tree people waking up from their dormant state and surrounding him. ??The previously peaceful and peaceful woods suddenly became filled with murderous intent. ?However, Xia En has faced countless dangers, so naturally he will not be panicked by this kind of momentum. The worst case scenario is to turn around and fight these trees! ?Earning some ship soul experience is also a good choice. You may make a profit, but I will never lose! ?Of course, as this is his first dive in [City of Giant Woods], Xia En still hopes to collect as much information as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En simply stopped concealing his whereabouts and rushed directly towards the center of [City of Giant Woods]. ??He plans to use the life of [Projection Body] to test the real owner of this city Giant Wood God! ?With Xia En''s current physical fitness, under full acceleration, he simply turned into a black shadow, shuttled through the sea water. His unabashed action undoubtedly immediately attracted the attention of many tree people. He seemed to be aware of Xia En''s intention to approach the giant tree. ?Beside him, the underwater forest quickly became restless, showing him an extremely violent side. ?Countless tree people began to wake up, swinging their bodies like crazy, swimming in the sea water, and floating upward. ??Some of them blocked in front of Xia En, some swam above Xia En, and some stretched out vines below, as if they wanted to keep him in this forest forever. ?Vines, branches, roots... swaying in the sea water, looking soft and smooth. ?This scene reminded Xia En of jellyfish. That''s right, the tree people at this time were like emerald green jellyfish all over the sea, almost completely blocking their sight. ?Behind this dreamy and magnificent scene, there is a deadly murderous intention. At the same time, Xia En also saw some strange existences among the tree people. ?For example, among the tree crowd, there was actually a huge lobster. It is about ten meters long and can move freely. ?Xia En was inevitably surprised. Isnt it said that this forest is a restricted area for life? ??Why is this lobster still alive and well? ?But after taking a closer look, Xia En discovered the clues. ?At the junction of the lobsters carapace, there are many roots and vines growing impressively. In the lobster''s abdomen, the body of a tree man is tightly attached to it, and the two have become one. A chill suddenly rose in Xia En''s heart. He could not tell that the lobster was actually dead. Now it is just a puppet controlled by the tree man. In other words, it is the food that is parasitized by tree people. Just like a hermit crab taking away the shells of other crustaceans, a dove takes over a magpie''s nest. ?These tree people seem to have mastered similar abilities. Xia En glanced around and saw several similar parasitic beasts in the forest. A giant sea turtle covered with moss, a giant crab with branches, and even a whale over thirty meters long! The whale is controlled by not one tree man, but at least ten tree men. They grow everywhere on the whale''s body, penetrating the thick flesh, but keeping it alive and preventing it from rotting. But it is precisely because of this "alive" characteristic that people feel more instinctively uncomfortable. Its like, this is a A blasphemy against life! Is this also one of the abilities bestowed by the [Giant Wood God]? Xia En raised his eyebrows and guessed in his mind. In his opinion, tree people should not have this kind of ability to blaspheme life. ?This is also different from the image that the Elf Goddess has always shown, full of an evil feeling. ??The Elf Goddess was once a righteous god, so how could she have such weird and blasphemous authority? It is more like a power that only evil gods possess. ??Xia En turned his head and looked at the astonishingly huge tree in the center of the city and thought. This [Giant Wood God] is getting more and more evil. Who is he? ?At this point, Xia Ens tentative plan can only be said to be half successful. He did test out another weird ability of the tree people. But the problem was that the densely packed trees in front of him blocked his way to the [Giant Wood God]. Even for Xia En, it is unrealistic to kill so many alienated tree people. Not to mention, there are more tree people coming here nearby. It seems like this dive ends here. ?Shaan sighed and decided to fight to the death and kill a few more treants to earn more experience. But at this moment. An old voice suddenly sounded in Xia En''s ears. Boy, if you dont want to die, just dig into the sand at the bottom of the sea. ?Shaan looked around but could not find the source of the sound. ?Looking at the behavior of the other tree people, they didn''t seem to hear this reminder. Think about it, this is a method similar to "spiritual transmission". ??Although he didnt know who the owner of the voice was and what its purpose was, at the moment, Xia En had no choice. ??Compared to dying under the siege of the tree people and wasting this opportunity to submerge, Shane still wanted to live a little longer. ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, and went straight towards the deepest part of the seabed like an arrow. At the same time, he activated the domain of [Great Dark Sky] and compressed the domain to a very small area around him. This is the inspiration that Xia En got on [Sand Island]. Great Dark Skycan not only be used as an attack field that encompasses enemies, but can also be used as a protective armor. With the help of the field, Xia En successfully isolated the sand outside his body and penetrated deeper. Soon, the old voice sounded again. Follow the direction of the roots in front of you! ??A root appeared not far from Xia En and began to lead him the way. Since everyone had listened to the advice of this voice, Xia En simply believed it and quickly followed the root. At the same time. ??The tree people above also noticed Xia En''s intention to hide, and fell to the bottom of the sea one after another. ?The roots of their feet easily penetrated into the sand and began a sweeping search. Judging from their proficiency, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have encountered this situation. In fact, the marine life hiding in the sand on the seabed has long been swept away by the tree people in this way. ?Xia En followed the direction guided by his roots. About two or three minutes later. ??The old voice said: "Stop! Right here!" Hide your breath and dont move! Shane did as he was told. ?But soon, the roots of other tree people searched all the way, and once they came to a place less than five meters away from Xia En. Xia Endu hesitated for a moment whether to take action or not. But suddenly, several roots blocked the tree peoples search path, as if to indicate This area is its territory. The other roots hesitated for a moment, and finally left silently. ?The silent waiting passed for a long time. ?Xia En clearly felt that the restlessness in the surrounding mud gradually calmed down. This means that the tree people''s search has come to an end. Boy, you can come out now. The old voice reminded: "But don''t leave the area covered by my leaves." Hearing this, Xia En slowly emerged from the ground and looked up. ??The previous scene of "emerald green jellyfish" in the sea has disappeared, and the entire forest has settled down again, returning to its original tranquility. ??Had you not seen it with your own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine that this underwater forest would still show such a crazy aspect. At this time. A tall tree tree was standing in front of Xia En, casting its own shade. (End of this chapter) Chapter 237 taboo topics Chapter 237 Taboo Topics ?Seeing the tree man in front of him, Xia En raised his eyebrows and instinctively showed a defensive posture. But soon, Xia En discovered that the appearance of this tree man was very different from other tree men. Its bark is dry and shriveled, extremely rough, and has a faint reddish color. Like the color of the mangroves that live at the interface between land and sea. The branches and leaves are withered and yellow, unlike other tree people who maintain the green color, and their vitality is extremely declining. Like a rotten, damp, dead tree. It can even be described as "ugly" ??Had it not been for the pair of dim eye sockets and a small mouth on its old trunk, it would have been difficult for Xia En to regard it as the same species as those tree people. ??Although the appearance of this tree man is surprising, Xia En is not a person who judges people by their appearance. He took the initiative and said: "Thank you, senior, for helping me." "Um?" Hearing his voice, the declining tree man was surprised: "This kind of voice...have you ever swallowed [Seed of Sea Sound]?" ??The reason why Xia En can master the ability of [Underwater Conversation] is precisely because he received the [Seed of Sea Sound] given by Tracy in [Emerald Ancient City]. ?At the moment, from the tone of this tree man, it seems that he also recognizes this strange seed? This point undoubtedly further proves the connection between the [City of Giant Trees] and the elves. ?Shaan nodded and admitted: "I did swallow one by chance." It seems that your origin is not simple. ??The old tree man''s eyes flashed with a faint light and he continued. But no matter who you are, if you want to survive, leave [City of Giant Woods] as soon as possible. This is no longer a place where living people should come. Xia En didnt explain too much, he just said: I have a reason to go deep into this city. A flash of surprise flashed in the old tree man''s eyes. ?Having clearly seen the scene where the whole forest was agitated just now, this outsider still has the courage to say such a thing? This cannot be described simply as praiseworthy. ?However, the old tree man used all his strength just to maintain his own survival. ?Saving this man casually was considered a great act of kindness, and I really had no energy left to meddle in his business. Thinking of this, the old tree man said directly: "In this case, I can only wish you good luck." This forest has long been the home of those traitors. As long as you are in it, you will be discovered by them sooner or later. However, the intelligence of the forest is limited after all. If you disguise yourself as us, you can last longer... Do you understand? At first, Xia En thought that the old tree man was just saying goodbye. ?But after listening to these words carefully, he realized that the other party was actually teaching him how to hide in the forest. ?Xia En was in a weird mood. ?This old tree man looks like an awkward old man. He wants to express his goodwill, but he also wants to go around in a circle. ?However, combined with this detail and its help just now, Xia En can basically judge that the old tree man is probably a "good person." ??Whether it is appearance or personality, they are very different from those tree people who are willing to sacrifice other creatures at every turn. and Betrayer? ?Shaan noticed the word spoken by the old tree. Betraitors, do you mean those tree people who believe in the [Giant Wood God]? ??Thoughts flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he quickly outlined the general outline of the matter: "Did the tree people betray their original beliefs? Betrayed the Elf Goddess?" In other words, this old tree man is still a supporter of the Elf Goddess? Just as Xia En was about to ask, he saw not far away, a small tree man about two or three meters high, floating down from the sea like a jellyfish. ?Compared with its relatives, its body shape is naturally petite and exquisite. Grandpa Hunter, Im back! Huh? This guy is... In the process of getting close to the old tree man, the little tree man naturally discovered the existence of Xia En. ?The face made of tree trunks showed a surprised look and exclaimed at the same time. Human! Grandpa Hunter, is this human! Hush! Lower your voice! Hunter, the old tree man, glared at the young tree man and looked around cautiously. Fortunately, there were no tree people who believed in the [Giant Wood God] nearby, so no tragedy occurred. The little tree man also realized that he had almost caused a catastrophe, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "Sorry, sorry, I didn''t mean to do it." This is the first time Ive seen a living human being, so Im a little excited. Let me introduce myself, my name is Mumu, what is your name? ??Xia En carefully looked at the little tree named Mumu and found that although its voice was young, its trunk was as skinny as Hunter''s, the bark was wrinkled, and the leaves were sparse and shriveled. The whole body exuded an air of aging and depletion. This surprised Xia En. He originally thought that Hunter''s decline was due to living for a long time and was about to reach the end of his life. But judging from Mumus similar qualities, it seems to be for another deeper reason? ?At the same time, Xia En also noticed that Mu Mus branches had obvious signs of breakage, as if they had been broken by external force. There were also several wounds on his body that seemed to have been whipped, but they were mixed with the wrinkled bark, making it difficult to distinguish them. Before Xia En could answer, Hunter on the side suddenly changed his expression and asked. Mumu, where did these injuries on your body come from? They bullied you again, right? Hearing this, Mumu''s high mood suddenly dropped, and he hesitated. No, no, my brother and sister are playing around with me. They are no longer your brothers and sisters! Hunter''s expression was solemn, with a hint of anger in his tone: "From the day they knelt down to the [Giant Wood God], they are no longer our kind!" But, Grandpa Hunter, why must we stick to our belief in the goddess of life? Mumu was puzzled and aggrieved, so she couldn''t help but ask. Obviously as long as we accept the [Seed of Life] given by the [Giant Wood God], our bodies will not have to continue to rot, and we can become taller and stronger. Besides, grandpa, you can live longer... "Shut up!" Hearing this, the old tree man Hunter finally couldn''t help but said angrily: "You don''t understand! This is a betrayal of the gods! You will be punished by God one day!" Besides, do you think [Giant Wood God] is a good thing? That guy Hunter wanted to continue talking, but seemed to be concerned about the peaceful forest around him, so he finally just said. "No matter what, as long as I am still alive, I will never allow you to accept the [Seed of Life]!" If you say one more kind word about [Giant Wood God], I will treat you as my grandson! Dont let me see you again in the future! ?Mumu originally wanted to care about Hunter, but instead he was scolded so harshly, and his grievance suddenly burst out. Hmph! If you dont see me, youll see me! Ill go to the head office! After leaving these words, Mumu turned around and left. "you!" Hunter, the old tree man, was stunned. He vaguely felt that he had gone too far, but he had just scolded her, and with his temperament, it was impossible for him to soften his attitude on the spot and persuade Mumu to come back. It wasnt until Mumus figure disappeared from sight that Old Hunter let out a long sigh. "Children these days are becoming more and more troublesome." It turned to Xia En and said, "I''m sorry, I made you laugh." Old man, the relationship between you and your grandson is really good. Xia En sighed softly. Watching the quarrel between Hunter and Mumu, he was inexplicably reminded of some past events on Earth. So, he knew that Hunter would never be able to say such harsh words if he didn''t really take it seriously. Similarly, Mumu also persuaded Hunter to accept the so-called [seed of life] for similar reasons. ?But at the same time, Xia En was inevitably a little curious. What exactly is this so-called "seed of life"? It seems that it is because of its existence that the tree people have the ability to live such a nourishing life underwater. In this case, why is Old Hunter so afraid of it? Ahem, young man, I want to ask you a favor. At this moment, Old Hunter coughed twice and said, "My grandson has a stubborn temper. I don''t know how long it will take for this awkward situation to subside." If those betrayers instill bad ideas and take the opportunity to plant the [Seed of Life], it will be over. "I see that you are quite capable. Can you help me take care of it and give it advice?" The old tree man said this somewhat euphemistically, but Xia En immediately understood its meaning. Obviously, after saying these words, Old Hunter actually regretted it a little, but he just couldn''t bear to apologize to his grandson. That''s why I approached Xia En, not only to protect Mumu, but also to act as a lubricant to ease the relationship between grandfather and grandson. He is indeed an awkward old man... Xia En thought to himself: "I''m afraid your grandson''s character is just like yours!" Complaints are complaints, considering Hunters previous help, Shane will definitely help him. Leave it to me. After saying that, Xia En was ready to catch up in Mumu''s direction. Wait, dont move yet, Ill give you a disguise. Subsequently, Old Hunter picked some branches and leaves from nearby trees and decorated them with Shane. Not long after, Xia En completed a very rough disguise. Looks like How to say A bit like the Viet Cong in the jungle? ??Although from Xia En''s point of view, this disguise couldn''t be more clumsy, anyone can see the difference between him and the tree man. But according to Hunter, this level of camouflage is enough to hide the will of the forest. ??If you encounter other tree people, you can quickly pretend to be a harmless bunch of flowers and plants. ?Xia En suppressed the feeling of weirdness and walked through the underwater forest. Needless to say, after covering it with this layer of leaves, most of the looming malice around it has indeed dissipated. Dont worry about whether its ugly or not! Just tell me if its useful? It didnt take long. Xia En caught up with the little tree man Mumu. In fact, at the speed of this little tree man, he can''t run very long. At this time, it was leaning against a big tree, kicking the sand under its feet and humming. Hmph, stinky grandpa, bad grandpa! Its clear that I cant hold on for much longer, yet I still refuse to use the [seed of life]. No matter what the side effects are, its better than death, right? As he spoke, Mumus tone suddenly became lower. I just want grandpa to live... At this time, Xia En came out of the woods and asked directly. What exactly is the [seed of life] in your mouth? Wow! ?Mumu, who had obviously not noticed Xia En''s disguise before, couldn''t help being startled and said in surprise. You...are you the human just now? How did you become like this? ?Xia Ens mouth twitched, not wanting to answer this question. Mumu seemed to be very interested in human beings and immediately came up to touch him. ?This feeling is somewhat similar to how people feel when they go to an aquarium to see those rare animals. After getting closer, Xia En could see Mu Mu''s rough and decaying body and the scars more clearly. That seems to be the mark left by the whipping of vines. ?Shaan immediately thought of other ways for the tree people to attack. Obviously, those who harmed Mumu are the tree people who accepted the "Seed of Life". ?Shaan couldn''t help but ask: "Why do those tree people beat you?" Alas, isnt it because grandpa and I refuse to absorb the [seed of life]? Mumu sighed and said, "Do you know why I swam down from above?" Xia En cooperated: "Why?" Because those of us who dont have [Seeds of Life], if we want to live in the sea, we must regularly go to the waters near the sea to absorb sunlight and store energy. Mumu explained: "It was in the process of absorbing sunlight that I met a tree man who believed in the [Giant Wood God]..." Anyway, its just a mockery of us being old-fashioned and not knowing how to adapt. But one of the guys spoke really unpleasantly and even scolded Grandpa Hunter. I couldnt help but say something back to him, and that was it. ?Mumu looked a little sad and confused. Sometimes I really dont understand. Its obvious that those guys just received the [Seed of Life] not long ago. "How come you can turn around and say such vicious things?" ?Shaan said: "Probably all traitors are like this." So, [Seed of Life] can solve the problem of your tree people living in the sea? "But aren''t you and Hunter still alive? Is it because of... the power of the Elf Goddess?" ifier Hearing the name "Elf Goddess", Mumu''s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly covered Xia En''s mouth with his hand. Are you crazy! How dare you say that name here? He has become a taboo topic in our city. Once discovered by other tree people, they will be taken away directly by the executioner! ?Xia En was suddenly surprised. He didnt expect that a single name could cause Mumu to have such a big reaction. But it can also be seen from this that there is strict control over belief in [City of Giant Trees]. ??Treants who still believe in the Elf Goddess will most likely be regarded as heretics! This also shows from the side that the relationship between the [Giant Wood God] and the Elf Goddess is by no means harmonious. At this time. The sound of rustling came from the forest nearby... (End of this chapter) Chapter 238 Cant go back anymore Chapter 238 I cant go back Upon noticing the sound behind him, Mumu couldn''t help but his expression changed slightly, and he whispered. Hey, hurry up and hide! If they find you, youll be doomed! To be honest, if there were only a few tree people left alone, Xia En really had nothing to be afraid of. With his current strength, he can completely destroy them in a very short period of time. ??But Xia En is worried that killing the tree people will once again attract the attention of the entire forest, triggering the "giant tree craze" just now. At least for now, Xia En does not have the strength to defeat a city with one person. ?Hence, Xia En decisively found a place with dense vegetation and hid nearby. Mumu took root not far from him, protecting Xia En behind him. At this moment, several tree men walked out of the woods. The leader of the tree family obviously knew Mumu and said, "Mumu, who were you talking to just now?" "Haha... are you chatting with your ''imaginary friends'' again?" ?This tree man is much taller than Mumu, more than five meters tall, with lush branches and leaves. According to the standards of tree people, it can be described as "strong". ?With its full of vitality, you can tell that you have converted to the [Giant Wood God] at a glance. Nilge, what do I say or do have anything to do with you? ?Seeing these tree men, Mumu was not timid, but pushed them back unceremoniously. According to its experience, in this case, the more timid and fearful you are, the easier it is to be bullied. ?Behave a little more fiercely, even if you are a little fierce at heart, then you can possibly frighten these bullies. ?However, the tree man named "Nigel" was not so easily frightened, it smiled lightly. Mumu, what you said is wrong. We are all old friends, isnt it normal to care about your friends? It''s a good thing Nigel didn''t mention this matter. As soon as he mentioned the word "friend", Mumu''s eyes glowed with angry green light. Hey, friend! Then who told me before that I would never accept the [Seed of Life]? But then I turned around and became a believer in the [Giant Wood God]? You have completely forgotten what happened in the past, right? Hearing this question, Nigels tree face didnt look good either. ?After all, it was nostalgic for the old relationship, and what happened back then was indeed that it betrayed the friendship between the two of them, and it was speechless for a moment. ?However, the other tree men next to Nigel were not so good-tempered. ?One of the tree men sneered: "Nigel, what do you have to say to these old-fashioned people who are doomed to decay?" Anyway, in a few years, they themselves will be completely destroyed. By then, it will be too late for them to regret not being able to fall into the arms of the [Giant Wood God]! Another tree man echoed: "That''s right." Brother Nigel has good intentions and wants to lead this guy to become a part of a greater existence. Its okay if it doesnt appreciate it, and in turn blames Brother Nigel. In the bushes on the side, Xia En secretly observed the communication between Mumu and these tree people, and inexplicably thought of the bullying incident on the earth. ??If you ignore the race of Mumu and others as tree people, they are actually just a group of young boys and girls. At this time, deep down in his heart, Nigel actually did not feel that he had done anything wrong. On one side are the decaying conservatives, and on the other side are the new and growing reformists. Isnt it clear at a glance which side to choose? It has witnessed with its own eyes the increasing decay and eventual death of its elders who were unwilling to accept the "Seed of Life". That''s why I changed my original idea and accepted the "Seed of Life" given by the "Giant Wood God". To be fair, Nigel didnt want Mumu to embark on this old path that was destined to perish, and he kept trying to pull it onto the right path. In its view, it was really saving this former friend. So, Nigel advised again: "Mumu, listen to my advice." The old school is finished. The power of the old **** is constantly weakening. This is the reason why you are becoming more and more decadent. Would this have happened hundreds of years ago? Hearing this, Mumu was stunned. It knows that the old guard is declining and is being replaced by the growing power of the [Giant Wood God], but it does not know the reason behind this. This may be the reason why many tree people have changed their minds recently. Xia En in the bushes was also moved. ??The "old gods" Nigel refers to undoubtedly refer to the elven goddesses. In other words, the power of the Elf Goddess is weakening? What role does [Giant Wood God] play in it? ??While Shane was thinking secretly, Nigel continued. Not only that, in a while, it is said that the executioners will carry out a major cleansing of the [City of Giant Woods]. If you dont throw yourself into the arms of the [Giant Wood God], it will be too late! Hearing this, Mumu finally showed an expression of disbelief and murmured. The ExecutionerThe Great Purge No, thats impossible! "Uncle Farner is an elder among executioners. If there is such an action, he will definitely tell us as soon as possible." At present, although the conservative faction that insists on loyalty to the Elf Goddess is declining, they are still an old force that has been passed down from ancient times. The rotten ship still has three kilograms of nails! Therefore, there are still some respected old tree people who are unwilling to betray their beliefs. Most of their strength is constantly weakening due to the erosion of sea water, but their past identity and status are here. Some are even elders in the tree community. Still has a high prestige among some tree people. Old Hunter, as well as Uncle Farner as Mumukou calls him, belong to this kind of remnants of the old era. Hearing this name, Nigel couldn''t help but look at Mumu with pity. Dont you understand yet? The elder Fana whom you trust has also become one of us. ?Mumu heard a "buzz" in his mind, and the time went blank for an instant. ???If we talk about the betrayal of my friend Nigel, it is still within the acceptable range. ?Then Elder Fana''s defection was something that he simply couldn''t believe. In the heart of this little tree man, Fauna''s status is almost the same as that of old Hunter. They are both elders who have watched him grow up with his own eyes. ?The other party also said personally that he would be incompatible with the followers of the [Giant Wood God]. ?Those beautiful past events and precious memories are still vivid in my mind. Why now Brother, you... ?Besides, several tree men followers couldn''t help but look at Nigel with surprised eyes. ?Information like this is quite secret among them. The elders have ordered that the secret must be strictly kept. Theoretically, it is impossible to tell these conservatives. ??Nigel waved his hand: "I have my own arrangements." Mumu shook his head, getting rid of the ridiculous possibility from his mind, and asked: "It''s impossible... you must have lied to me!" This is fake, right? There was even a hint of pleading in its tone. Looking at Mumu at this time, Nigel had a flash of sympathy in his eyes, but he still said. "I wouldn''t lie to you about this kind of thing." "Actually, this time we..." ?At this moment, a voice sounded from behind Nigel. Thats enough. Let me explain the next thing to it. Immediately, a slender-looking tree man walked out of the crowd. ?Its branches are much thinner than those of ordinary trees, and its leaves are light red and exquisite, giving people a pleasing feeling. Putting it among tree people, it may be a rare beauty. Even its sound is very clear and pleasant. Seeing this beautiful tree man, Mumu''s voice trembled a little. Seeing the other party''s appearance at this time, it understood everything. The reason is simple. ?This Gelisi is the granddaughter of Elder Fana. Treants are of course genderless, but they also have different self-perceptions and preferences, and they have something in common with steam armor. Gelisi is one of the rare tree people among tree people who identifies as a woman. Strictly speaking. ?Ge Lisi should be regarded as Mu Mus childhood sweetheart. After all, the two are close in age, both are conservatives, and they have close elders. As we get along for a long time, we naturally become childhood sweethearts. ?Just in the past few months, the number of times Mumu saw Gelisi has been greatly reduced. Sometimes she would even see Gelisi moving hurriedly in the sea, as if she was hiding from herself. Mumu originally thought that he had done something wrong and made Ge Lisi unhappy. But now, it has understood everything. ?The vivid appearance of Gelisi''s rebirth is the state that can only appear after accepting the "Seed of Life". Even Gelisi used [Seed of Life], and Uncle Farners attitude was already obvious. It turns out...you have all already... ?Mumu smiled bitterly, feeling as if there was nothing more sorrow than death. ??The feeling of being betrayed by a friend once was already very uncomfortable, and now, I also encountered betrayal by my elders and childhood sweethearts one after another. This feeling can only be experienced by yourself. "sorry." Gelisi sighed softly: "But, I can''t go back." As a bystander, Xia En looked strange. Holy shit, are there cows? ??He thought it was just a simple bullying incident, but he didn''t expect that it would involve so much love and hatred. Putting aside Mumus tragic experience in this incident, Xia En still had a lot of fun watching it, it was simply a good show. At this time, Ge Lisi continued. Actually, after I accepted the [Seed of Life], I not only got rid of my original decayed body, but I was also honored to be chosen as a saint of our Lord. Be able to give the [Seed of Life] to the residents of [City of Giant Trees] on His behalf Hearing this, Mumu suddenly realized something was wrong and said vigilantly. Wait, Gelisi, what do you want to do? ??Nigel took a step forward, and together with the other tree men, vaguely blocked Mumu''s retreat, and said at the same time. Do you think, knowing so many secrets, you can still leave like this as if nothing happened? Mumu suddenly became panicked. ?It belatedly realized its dangerous situation and threatened it. If I die, Grandpa Hunter will never let you go! ??Nigel shook his head: "You are wrong again." How could we kill you? I have always treated you as a brother, a beloved relative and a friend. ?Gelisi took a step forward, walked towards the withered tree man who was constantly retreating, and said softly. Dont be afraid. Although it hurts a little at first, you will get used to it soon. After that, you will become one of us, part of something greater. The other tree men whispered together. become part of something greater. They all have a fanatical and twisted expression on their faces. ?That kind of expression makes them look extremely strange, as if some mysterious and evil will has descended on them and replaced their original souls. Mumu couldn''t help but feel panic and panic. ?It doesnt understand why Nigel and Gelis, who have been together for several years, have become so strange. ?Mumu instinctively realized that the existence called [Seed of Life] was definitely not a good thing! But now, it has to accept the [Seed of Life] under the pressure of its former friends. What an ironic and ridiculous thing this is! As Gelisi got closer, a green seed gradually appeared on its arms made of branches. It is said to be a seed, but it is about the size of a basketball, and it is still beating. It feels more like a living heart, which is constantly activated under the stimulation of Song Lisi. ?The extremely strong breath of life escapes from the [Seed of Life], making the tree people look intoxicated and enjoying themselves. Looks completely harmless. Even gave Mumu a strong attraction. ?It was like there was a voice in the dark, urging it to accept the seed. But the more this happened, the more Mumu became afraid of the "seeds of life". If this seed enters my body, I will definitely become another strange me just like Gelisi and them! In this situation, the only one who can save him seems to be that strange human being of unknown origin. But Mumu held on and did not ask for help. ?In his understanding, human beings have always been weak, so how could they be their opponents when they were in their prime? Please, please dont come out at the same time. Xia En was silently observing the strange seed. This is the [seed of life]? He and Mumu had similar feelings. They both felt that although the seed was exuding strong vitality, it also had a disgusting aura. ?Suddenly, in a trance, some chaotic ghosts broke into Xia En''s field of vision. The [Seed of Life] in his eyes no longer looked like a seed, but quickly turned into an extremely ugly tumor! ?Many tiny tentacles poked out from the sarcoma, groping around, as if they were trying to take root in Mu Mu''s body like roots. The flesh and blood is squirming, shrinking, and talking in sleep... One eyeball after another opens from the surface of the sarcoma, and there are countless compound eyes in each eyeball. At the same time that Shane saw these eyeballs. The eyeballs also saw Xia En. The next moment. ?All the eyes on the sarcoid suddenly burst open, and hundreds of tentacles let out a harsh and painful scream... (End of this chapter) Chapter 239 【Seed of Corruption】 Chapter 239 [Seed of Corruption] ??Screaming together with this ugly and deformed tumor was Ge Lisi who was about to give Mu Mu the [Seed of Life]. As the "Saint" chosen by the [Giant Wood God], there is a special connection between Gelisi and [The Seed of Life]. At this time, the fear and pain felt by [Seed of Life] were also transmitted to it simultaneously. ?Hearing the scream of Gelith, Nigel and the other tree people couldn''t help but were stunned, not knowing what was happening. Mumu took advantage of this opportunity and ran away without hesitation. ??Nigel naturally couldn''t let it escape like this, he roared angrily. Get it! Several tree men immediately surrounded him from all directions. They have been blessed by the [Seed of Life], and their vitality is extremely strong. Whether it is speed or strength, it is far above the withered and weakened wood. We must seize it as soon as we see it. Mumus eyes couldnt help but reveal despair. But at this moment. The deep darkness suddenly expanded in the sea water. The dark shadows spread and intertwined in this underwater forest, as if they were expanding infinitely like a web. ??And among the intertwined shadows, countless stars and bits of light emerge. Made this place look like the deep sea tens of thousands of meters below, or the night sky full of stars. Beautiful, cold, and dangerous. "What''s this" ?Nigel looked around blankly, feeling shocked in his heart. In this seemingly beautiful scene, it felt a fatal murderous intention. As if if he acted rashly, he would lose his life at any time. Dont move! Dont even move! Nigel warned his companions: "Stop where you are and don''t move!" ?Even Nigel, the strongest among the tree men, is like this, not to mention the other tree men. Facing this starry sea, they felt an unprecedented fear. If I must say...it is the fear of the stars, the universe, and their own insignificance. Ah! [Seed of Life] Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the darkness. ?It is the voice of Gelisi. ?The tree people couldn''t help but become more panicked, but because of Nigel''s warning, no one dared to act without authorization. Fortunately, the mysterious and deep darkness around us did not last long. ?In just a moment, the deep darkness began to fade away like a tide. ??Nigel looked around and found that his companions were all safe, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ?Gelisi stood there. Although he was not injured, his expression became extremely serious. That guy stole the [seed of life]! The "seeds of life" that were previously among its branches have disappeared. Also missing was Mu Mu who was trapped in the encirclement. Damn it! This is bad! ??The expression on Nigelshus face was very ugly. ?Its original plan was to directly transform Mumu into one of them, so it revealed the secret information without any scruples, in order to make this former friend "die". But now, not only did Mumu escape, but he was also robbed of a [Seed of Life]? If the elders above are blamed, it will be doomed! That darkness just now...is the realm? In contrast, Gelisi quickly regained his composure and thought: "Human! The guy who just took action is a human!" ?It is very clear that Mumu definitely does not have such unpredictable means. ?Besides, Nigel quickly came to his senses and suddenly said in shock: "It''s the human who broke in before!" ??Xia En made a big noise not long ago. Almost alarmed half of the tree people in [City of Giant Trees]. By connecting the two, it will not be difficult for the tree people to guess the identity of the attacker. That guy actually stole the [Seed of Life]? What on earth does he want to do? ??Both Nigel and Gelis found it a bit difficult to understand. In fact, there has been no trace of human beings in [City of Giant Woods] for a long time. Except for humans who were forcibly dragged down to the sea by vines and sacrificed. ?The explorers found in other underwater ruins are almost non-existent in [City of Giant Trees]. ?As the notoriety of [City of Giant Woods] gradually spreads, even ships like [Warm Snow] dare not approach this sea area easily, let alone other small ships. ?????????????????????????????? ? People at sea go fishing in underwater ruins, isnt it just for the heritage in the ruins? ??The [City of Giant Trees] is basically a primitive underwater forest, with nothing but poverty and tree people who are eyeing humans. ?Why should the salvage ship take great risks to explore here? ?Wouldnt it be nice to go to those underwater ruins that are both safe and rich? This is why Mumu was so excited and novel when seeing Xia En. ?It is for this reason that Nigel and other tree people feel extremely puzzled and confused. ?Why does this human being come to [City of Giant Trees]? ????????????????????????????????????????????????? As for taking away the "seed of life", it is even more unreasonable. [Seed of Life] is a gift from the [Giant Wood God], but not everyone can use it. ?Ordinary tree people like Nigel do not have the ability to activate the [Seed of Life]. Only "saints" with special status like Song Lisi can give it to other tree people. ?The opponent is a human, even if he gets the [Seed of Life], its useless! However, that person may not be a simple human being. ?Gelisi recalled the shrieking sound made by [Seed of Life] just now, feeling both apprehensive and a little scared. This is the first time that it has felt such a strong fear from [The Seed of Life]. In other words, this is also the first time it realizes... So it turns out that [the seed of life] is also afraid? Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Gelisi said to everyone. Anyway, the current situation is beyond our capabilities. Lets go report this to Grandpa Fana now and let the elders decide what to do. Gelesi''s status in a group of tree people is comparable to the backbone. As soon as it spoke, the tree people naturally had no objection and turned around and walked into the forest together. The other side. Xia En took Mumu through the forest in another direction. ??The pitch-black darkness just now was naturally his domain [Great Dark Sky]. With Xia En''s strength, it was not difficult to kill these tree men in the field. But he had an instinctive premonition. It would be okay if he killed other people, but if he killed the self-proclaimed "saint" Ge Lisi, it seemed that it would attract the attention of a certain existence. ?That is most likely the will of the [Giant Wood God]! ?Xia En has just started exploring the [City of Giant Trees], and he doesnt plan to face the final big BOSS directly yet. on the other hand. ?Gliss and Nigel are Mumus friends after all. Even though they seemed to have turned into another person under the influence of [Seed of Life], Mumu still cared about the old relationship and said to Xia En, "Don''t kill them!" Xia En stopped there. At the same time as casting [Great Dark Sky]. ?Shaan also noticed that the malice in the surrounding forest had obviously become stronger. It was as if there were thousands of eyes hiding in this dense underwater forest, peering at him with malicious eyes. ?Furthermore, there is an invisible force spreading in the sea water, as if it is weakening his [Great Dark Sky]. ??Although the extent of this weakening is not large, it also makes Xia En wary. After all, if this weakening can continue to be superimposed, it will be tantamount to half of his [Great Dark Sky]''s ability! Wait a minute, could this be a battle between realms? ?Xia En suddenly woke up. In the words of the tree people, this forest is the "god''s kingdom" of the [Giant Wood God]. In other words, it is the domain of the [Giant Wood God]. And ones own domain as an outsider will undoubtedly be naturally suppressed by this domain. ?This is the real reason why [Great Dark Sky] was weakened. ?Aware of this, Xia En couldn''t help but be a little shocked. ?He looked around, and all he could see was a sea of ??lush forests, with no end as far as the eye could see. Such a large area, it is the only time he has seen it in his life! ??Moreover, while being huge, this field still has considerable suppressive power and can still weaken his [Great Dark Sky]. The two combined together appear quite terrifying. It is conceivable how powerful the existence known as the [Giant Wood God] will be. He is worthy of being named a god Xia En sighed in his heart: "But, is he really the real god?" ?Xia En couldnt help but think of the form of the [Seed of Life] he saw earlier. ?That kind of filthy, ugly, deformed sarcoma has nothing to do with the word "vitality" and will only make people instinctively feel uncomfortable and disgusted. No matter how you look at it, it doesn''t look like a "gift" that should be given by a righteous god, but rather a creation of an evil god. only Xia En looked down. ??The previously deformed and ugly sarcoma has now returned to the appearance of the green seeds. ?Judging from the appearance alone, it seems to be just a part of some kind of plant, and it doesnt feel like flesh and blood. ?That faint breath of life seems to be impossible to fake. This seems very strange. ??Had it not been for Xia En''s firm confidence in himself, he might have suspected that he had hallucinated before. ?However, even so, Xia En always had a faint dislike for this seed. It was as if his intuition was giving an early warning. So, Xia En still believed that there was definitely something wrong with this seed. The notes on the panel also proved his conjecture. ~~seed Quality: Epic Type: Material [Description: The creation called the "seed of life" by the tree people has undergone the secret power of ~~, making it impossible to see its true face. It is said to be able to rejuvenate tree people and get rid of their original shackles. So, what''s the price? For some reason, like the previous [Alienated Treeman Fragments], there are some vague handwriting on its annotations. It seems that there is a special power that covers the content of these words. Xia En immediately paid great attention to it. The existence that can slightly affect the [Eye of the Secret Sea] must have its own uniqueness. ?However, based on the unobstructed content, Xia En can also judge The ugly appearance of the [Seed of Life] he saw before was its true face! We have to take it to the ship and study it carefully. ?Just when Xia En was thinking this, Mumu in his hand suddenly spoke. Benefactor, please put me down? Hearing this, Xia En gradually stopped and looked at the tree that had suffered a heavy blow. Are you... okay? What happened to Mumu just now, even from the perspective of a bystander like Xia En, was a bit too tragic. Be bullied, double betrayed, bullied, and finally almost fell into evil trap. ??If it were a young boy with a weak will, he would probably be in a state of collapse. ?However, looking at Mumu''s expression, although he was still a little frustrated, his mood was still calm, which made Xia En feel a little relieved. My benefactor, Im fine. Mumu said seriously: "Now I have to find Grandpa Hunter quickly and tell the other conservatives the news." Otherwise, [City of Giant Woods] will be completely finished. Shaan asked: "Do the current conservatives still have the strength to fight?" Mumu smiled bitterly and said, "If Uncle Farner hadn''t rebelled, he would have had a slight chance of winning." "But since it has switched sides, it means that the tree people among the executioners will also switch to the reformists." Nowhope is probably very slim. There is one more thing Mumu didnt say to Xia En. Actually, the old school is not monolithic, and many tree people have always had a tendency to waver. ?At present, Elder Fana''s rebellion will undoubtedly bring about a series of chain reactions, causing some shaken old tree people to change their stance. Xia En asked again: "Speaking of which, why are you always unwilling to join their side?" Is it because of Hunter? This matter actually made Xia En quite curious. Before, no matter whether Nigel and his party were coerced or induced, Mumu had no intention of actively accepting the [Seed of Life], not even the slightest thought. ?Judging from Mumus behavior, it looks a bit like a young rebellious boy. Mumu said frankly: "Grandpa Hunter is of course on one side." Another reason is I heard that actually a thousand years ago, all of us tree people should have died in the great flood. "It was the spirit...the goddess who made the sacrifice that allowed us to survive." "Even if life is ugly, at least it is alive, right?" Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised. "In short, to our family, that goddess is actually very kind." Mumu said with a simple smile: "I just feel that I cannot repay kindness with hatred, so I have never wanted to believe in the [Giant Wood God]." "I see." Xia En nodded: "Then do you know where the goddess''s temple...is in this city?" Temple? Mumu looked confused and guessed: "It seems to have been blocked by the [Giant Wood God]''s men for a long time, right?" I dont know exactly where it is. After getting the negative answer, Xia En was not discouraged. He didnt think he was lucky enough to be able to find the target on the first day of [submersible]. Subsequently, Xia En and Mumu said goodbye. At the moment Xia En ended his submersible voyage, the words on the panel changed. The vague ~~ began to dissipate, replaced by discernible words. Submarine is over! Obtain loot: Seed of Corruption! (End of this chapter) Chapter 240 The new form of Xiange, illusion or reality? Chapter 240 The new form of string song, illusion or reality? In the captain''s cabin. Shanes consciousness returned to his original body, and at the same time he brought back the spoils of the dive. But the moment this "seed" left the sea water, its appearance suddenly changed drastically. Now it has completely turned into a rotten and ugly tumor. ??Many tangled tentacles of different lengths are attached to the surface of the sarcoma and are still moving slightly. As the sarcoma moves, thick green mucus is continuously secreted from it, emitting a strong stench. ??Except that the eyeballs on the tentacles were completely closed and fell into dormancy, everything was the same as what Xia En had seen before. This means that the scene that Shane saw not long ago was not an illusion. This ugly and distorted appearance is the true face of this seed! ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little creepy. Based on his experience of exploring [City of Giant Trees] this time, it is not difficult to guess that most of the tree people in the city have accepted this existence called [Seed of Life]. And if such a sarcoma takes root in the body, will the tree people really be reborn? ?Xia En instinctively sensed that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it. Its real name is [Seed of Corruption]? Xia Ens eyes fell on the panel, and when he saw the real name of the tumor, his expression changed slightly. In fact, the rotten smell exuding from this sarcoma gave him a sense of dj vu. Plus this name "Could this kind of thing be related to [Huisi Ming]?" ?Xia En frowned slightly and guessed in his mind. No wonder he thinks too much, [Hui Siming] often plays an indispensable role in events involving the elves. Another thing that puzzled Shane was... ?This [Seed of Corruption] can be disguised as a plant-like appearance in [City of Giant Trees]. Even the description on the panel has been affected. Why did your original shape appear as soon as you left the sea? ??Xia En was thinking seriously about these questions. The next moment. int is a sudden burst of pain , like the scream of a baby . Immediately afterwards, the flesh buds and tentacles began to dance wildly. But it didnt look like an attack, but more like a creature struggling when it was about to die! When the miserable struggle reached its limit, this seed of flesh and blood finally began to collapse. More and more pus flows out of the [Corruption Seed], and the granulation is rapidly losing activity. Less than a minute. The [Seed of Corruption] collapsed and disintegrated into a puddle of dark green slime, and the weird screaming sound also stopped. Xia En frowned and murmured: "This is..." Triggered some kind of self-destruct mechanism? The reason is that you left [City of Giant Woods]? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Is it possible that the disguise of [Seed of Corruption] is actually related to the realm that encompasses the entire [City of Giant Trees]? Xia En felt strange before. City of Giant TreesThis area does not seem to have anything special except for its wide range and the home advantage of occupying the forest. Not to mention that compared with Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky], even the realm of ordinary mystics is more subtle and magical than this. ?This seems inconsistent with the extremely high status of [Giant Wood God]. But now I think about it. ??If this realm is related to the [Seed of Corruption] given by the [Giant Wood God], then everything has a reasonable explanation. It is precisely because of this layer of disguise that the tree people will accept the [Seed of Corruption] without much precaution. Otherwise, just seeing this deformed sarcoma would be enough to scare away a large number of tree people. ?Although tree people also long for a living body, they want to live longer. But seeing this ugly piece of meat, anyone would notice something was wrong, right? "etc" ?Thinking along this line of thinking, Xia En couldn''t help but have a more terrifying guess. What if this disguised illusion doesnt just act on [Seed of Corruption]? In the [City of Giant Trees], he clearly saw that the tree people who used [Seed of Corruption] had stronger and more vivid bodies than the old guard. ?The trunk is tall and straight, the leaves are lush and green, and they are full of fresh vitality. Now, [Seed of Corruption] has been proven to be not a good thing. ??What will the real appearance of those tree people who accepted it be like? ?Xia En didnt dare to think any further. Dong dong dong! ?At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Then, Joey hurriedly opened the door and broke in. Mr. Captain, are you okay? ?Seeing that Xia En was safe and sound, Joey breathed a sigh of relief and explained. I just heard screaming coming from the captains cabin, and then... Huh, I told you, nothing will happen to the captain! Behind her, Xian Ge said confidently: "This is on our own ship... Wow! What does this smell like? It stinks!" Xianges proud request for credit was interrupted by itself. The sense of smell of dragons is much sharper than that of humans. This stench with a rotten smell assaulted the nostrils and made it smell bad all at once. Besides, its such a nasty smell! Xiange whispered: "I must have smelled it somewhere!" Xia En''s eyes first glanced behind Joey and Xian Ge, and found that not only the two of them were here, but An, Fei Ya, and Yan Yan were also present. Even the ghost lady Vivian, who is always a sleepy soul, was quietly watching from the sidelines. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little warmth in his heart and said. Dont worry, Im fine. The scream just now was caused by this thing. As he spoke, he pointed at the puddle of mucus on the ground, and then looked at Xian Ge, who had a look of disgust on his face. Xiange, have you ever heard of the existence of [Seed of Corruption]? As a seemingly reborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge has always had some remaining ancient memories. ??Moreover, these memories are still being revived as it grows. Perhaps you will know the origin of [Seed of Corruption]. [Seed of Corruption]? Xian Ge touched his chin and said uncertainly. I seem to have heard this name somewhere. Its effect should be to permanently parasitize the target organism, continuously absorb the life and soul of the parasite, and continuously assimilate the parasite in the process. However, because of the effect of assimilation, the parasite is not only unaware of his own abnormalities, but also feels that he is becoming stronger. ?Although Xian Ge is usually unreliable, when he gets serious, what he says is quite credible. Xian Ge continued to think: "It''s like the kind of special medicine used to hang one''s life." At the expense of stimulating the potential of life, we exchange for superficial reflections. When the potential is exhausted, we will lose our lives. ?Xia Ens thoughts flashed. ?Xian Ges statement is exactly in line with the current situation of the tree people in the [City of Giant Trees]. ?This alone is enough to show that the [Giant Wood God] has bad intentions. That is by no means a kind **** who gives gifts selflessly to save the tree people. Rather, he is an evil **** who will do whatever it takes for his own selfish motives. Even, even the name [Giant Wood God] may be fictitious! The question now is. Is [City of Giant Trees], like [Seed of Corruption], both cast with illusions that confuse perception? With the idea of ??making the best use of everything, Xia En asked Xian Ge and Joey. Do you know of any spells that can see through illusions or illusions? Xiange grinned and said proudly: "Captain, you have asked the right question!" After I advanced a few days ago, I went through the magic notebook again and learned a few new spells. There is a magic that can detect illusions, called [Pupil of True Sight]. During this period of time, [Laila''s Magic Notes] have been stored in Xian Ge''s room. Its not that Xia En doesnt want to read this magic book, but that after returning from the history of [Emerald Ancient City], he forgot the Elvish language he had learned. It was as if the pronunciation of Elvish was instantly ripped out of his mind. Not only him, Yan Yan and Cuiqi also forgot the Elvish language. It was only then that Xia En understood the reason for the (temporary) suffix on the panel. Obviously, the scope of influence of the [Aphasia Curse] was larger than he expected. As for why Xian Ge can still master a certain amount of Elvish, Xia En still hasnt figured it out yet. ??But no matter what, Xian Ge is the only crew member on the ship who can decipher [Laila''s Magic Notes], so Shane naturally gave this note to it for study. ?Now it seems that it is indeed of great use. but ?Xia En encountered a fantasy in the [City of Giant Trees] related to elves. It just so happens that [Laila''s Magic Notes] contains the magic to break through the illusion... Is there any connection between the two? Xia En thought for a while, and finally smiled and shook his head. It should be just a simple coincidence! Subsequently, Xia En asked Xian Ge about how to use the "Eye of True Sight" and wanted to learn it directly. But in this regard, Xian Ge said: "Captain, you probably won''t be able to learn this magic, because it must be activated in Elvish language." Do I have to use Elvish... ?Xia En frowned slightly. He didnt think Xian Ge would lie to people about such a trivial matter. ?After experiencing the history of the Emerald Isle, Shane also clearly understood the mystery of Elvish language. ?This language itself contains mysterious and extraordinary power. ??The reason why some magic in ancient times was lost is because of the death of Elvish language. At the moment, the only one on the ship who can speak Elvish is Xian Ge. Do you want to take Xiange to [City of Giant Woods] to have a look? In terms of water quality, Xian Ge is actually no weaker than the other crew members on the ship, and is even in the strongest category. Legends say that the oldest ancient dragons come from the deep sea, and they naturally have the power to control the ocean. ?Although Xian Ge is not the oldest dragon, there is no problem at all when he dives into the sea and moves normally. Xian Ge seemed to have noticed Xia En''s hesitation, and his eyes lit up. Captain, do you want to take me to sea? Okay, okay, Ive wanted to explore the sea for a long time! How can I not spread the glory of the great bronze dragon to the bottom of the sea? Xia Ens lips twitched when he heard this. This is no joke! Do you think you are a child going on an outing? ??The deep sea is full of dangers, and this [City of Giant Woods] is even more undercurrent. ??If Xia En did not have the ability of [Deep Sea Scuba Diving], he would definitely not dare to take the risk and go to the [City of Giant Woods] to commit suicide. Even if Xian Ge breaks through the third level, with Gu Long''s natural ability, his combat power is comparable to that of a fourth level strong man. In [City of Giant Trees], there is still not enough to see. ?Judgment based on Xia Ens experience of fighting against the tree people. The single combat power of each ordinary tree man is about level 3, but there are too many of them, and they have a home field advantage. Once a war breaks out, you will have to face an endless "sea of ??trees." Not to mention, there will definitely be powerful people among the tree people. ?Shaans [Projection Body] will not die. Even if he is cornered, he can come back the next day. But if you bring a string song with you, you must always be concerned about its safety. Captain, what are you thinking about? Xian Ge seemed to see Xia En''s thoughts and said, "I''m not thinking about going on an adventure to the bottom of the sea." Wouldnt it be great if we just took a look down from the surface of the sea? Xian Ge said this, but actually he still had some thoughts about exploring the deep sea. ?Honestly speaking, this should be considered its nature. ?Whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the sea, it will feel particularly happy. Hearing this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Then let''s go to the sea now and have a look." Anyway, its only in the shallow sea, so there shouldnt be any problem if you keep a distance from the [City of Giant Trees]. Xia En warned again: "However, you''d better make some disguise and don''t go into the sea in the form of an ancient dragon." Creatures like the ancient dragon should have been extinct from the Seven Seas like the elves. The [Giant Wood God]s heels are unknown now, so its better to be cautious. Xian Ge attached great importance to this long-awaited trip to the sea and was looking forward to it. He nodded hurriedly. No problem, Captain! Not long. ?Shaan changed into light clothes and came to the deck. Its a bit funny to say that he has been a captain for so long, but he has very few personal experiences of going to sea, so it feels quite novel. At this time, a petite figure walked up to Xia En. She has two bronze-colored dragon horns like sheep''s horns, some bronze-colored scales on her skin, and a dragon tail behind her. Her hair is metallic cyan, with a smooth and silky texture. The outline of the facial features is extremely beautiful, as delicate as a porcelain doll. The only problem is. She looked to be only seven or eight years old, with a little baby fat on her cheeks. She was still a young girl. Xia En was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?" Captain! You dont even recognize me! The young dragon girl raised her chest: "Hmph, I am a great bronze dragon..." Stop, stop, stop Hearing her soft voice, Xia En still didn''t recognize her identity, but he couldn''t help but wonder. Xiange, why did you become like this? Xian Ge said confidently: "This is my mimicry magic. Didn''t you ask me to disguise it, Captain?" ??Xia En really thought of the new abilities Xian Ge gained after being promoted. ?However, now is not the time to worry about this. ?After he marveled for a moment, he jumped into the sea together with the song. (End of this chapter) Chapter 241 The true face of [City of Giant Woods]! Chapter 241 The true face of [City of Giant Trees]! After throwing yourself into the sea. Xian Ge suddenly frowned his little bronze eyebrows. With the keen instinct of the bronze dragon, she sensed that there was a mysterious force spreading in the sea water, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable. Then, Xiange lowered his head and looked at the [City of Giant Woods] below, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. There is such a dense and vibrant forest under the sea? I have to say. ?Judging from the appearance alone, the scenery of [City of Giant Trees] can be described as spectacular. Like a miracle from the Creator. Even though Xia En had given Xian Ge a rough introduction to the city before, Xian Ge couldn''t help but marvel a little when he suddenly saw this scene. ?However, Xian Ge certainly did not forget the task assigned by Xia En. After a brief surprise, she became serious and whispered the mysterious Elvish language in a low voice. ?This ancient language has been lost today. Just like those older dragon languages. Even when Xian Ge recited the incantation, it seemed a bit slow and jerky. He was probably worried that he would miss some syllables and cause the spell to fail. ?Besides, Xia En silently listened to the recitation of Xian Ge, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. It seems that each individual syllable can be understood, but when put together, it becomes a completely unfamiliar language. ?Shaan suspected that he had not completely forgotten the skill of Elvish. It cannot be used normally just because of some unknown limitation. ??As for why Xian Ge can still cast spells in Elvish language, it is probably inseparable from the race of its ancient dragon. ?While Xia En was thinking, Xian Ge had undergone miraculous changes. A dark golden light gradually lit up in her pupils. In the depths of the light, it seemed as if there was an ancient rune spinning, profound and thrilling. It also gave Xian Ge''s face a mysterious temperament that was different from usual. Rune? Xia En''s heart moved. He knew from a very early age that language and writing itself possess magical and mysterious powers. ??Moreover, runes seem to be closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary spells. ?For example, when Xia En was plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he faintly came into contact with the rune that seemed to represent "Thunder". ?But at that time, the time when he came into contact with the runes was too short. Before Xia En had time to delve deeper, the runes disappeared. Now, looking at the rune in Xian Ges eyes, Xia En inexplicably understood its meaning reality! The existence of this rune is the cornerstone of the [Eye of True Sight] spell. ?Aware of this, Xia En inevitably thought a little deeper. Could Elvish language be special because it is closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary languages? But at this moment. The expression on Xiange''s face suddenly changed. Her face turned pale, her pupils dilated, and her whole body trembled violently. Xiange, whats wrong with you? Xia En frowned and immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly asked: "What did you see?" ?Xiange''s face turned paler and paler, and he murmured. "Escape...Escape quickly! This city..." Upon seeing this, Xia En made an immediate decision, holding Xian Ge''s little hand and swimming quickly towards the sea. After a while. ??The two returned to the deck of the Black Swan, but Xian Ge still had a frightened look on his face, as if he had been greatly frightened. Xian Ge''s character has always been out-of-the-box. At best, he is unrestrained and optimistic; at worst, he is arrogant. Even the fact that she had such an expression could only mean that Xian Ge was really frightened. ?Seeing this scene, Joey immediately asked with concern. Whats wrong with Xian Ge? Mr. Captain, what happened to you at sea? Shane is also very strange. ?Honestly speaking, Xiange just glanced at the "City of Giant Woods" with the "Eye of True Sight". Could it be that this distant glance alone scared Xian Ge, who had always been bold, to this point? At this time, Joey softly sang an unknown ballad, using the secret power of the song to soothe Xian Ge''s frightened heart. After obtaining the profession of [Deep Sea Singer], Joey gained more authority from the Storm Goddess. Including calming the mind, this is a basic ability that the storm priest must master. As the gentle and soothing sound of the waves rang in Xianges ears, her panicked spirit quickly calmed down. Xian Ge opened his eyes again and spoke seriously. Captain, that city... is definitely scarier than you expected? I suggest you not to explore there again in the future. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What''s going on? In [Eye of True Sight], what does [City of Giant Woods] look like?" Wait a minute, I also have a magic called [Memory Sharing]. Xian Ge tried his best to calm down, cast a spell again, and said, "Please take a look." Suddenly, a thin curtain of light appeared in front of everyone. The above shows the scene that Xian Ge saw from the first perspective. At first it was the scene of entering the sea water. Then, there is the endless, lush and vibrant underwater forest. ??Joy was a little surprised: "What a big forest!" The vitality here is not much worse than the [Rhine Secret Realm], right? ?Shaan has long regarded the crew as life and death partners, so he naturally told them about the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. In fact, in their spare time, the crew will also go exploring in the "Rhine Secret Realm". On the one hand, it is to help Xia En explore this vast secret realm. On the other hand, it is to pass the boring time while sailing and hone one''s combat skills. Sometimes it is not a good thing for a captain to be too capable. Sometimes the naval battle does not require their action, and the battle is over. The sparring between crew members does not have the sense of life-and-death crisis. It just so happens that there are many unknown and novel species in the [Rhine Secret Realm], which can be used as a whetstone for them. Fei Ya, who was next to him, looked at the underwater forest in the light curtain and looked surprised. Strange...how can such a large forest survive in the sea? Tracey asked curiously: "What''s so scary about this forest?" Xian Ge didnt explain much, just sighed and said. Soon you will understand. As the time in Xian Ges memory progressed, a faint dark golden light appeared on the light screen, and the scene in his field of vision suddenly began to shake like water waves. Obviously, this is the memory of Xian Ge using the "Eye of True Sight". When the scene turned from blurry to clear, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes. ?Wherever there is life, there is forest. In the depths of the sea below, there is a layer of filth that resembles a carpet of bacteria, exuding a rotten atmosphere all the time. ?There is also a withered and decaying tree man on the fungus carpet. If you really want to say it, it is equivalent to a mummy-like existence. ??The branches of the tree man mummies are like deformed flesh and blood, with sunken eyes and distorted faces, which seem to be telling of endless pain. ? And in the center of the entire city, the **** called the [Giant Tree God] is not a huge tree at all. And a huge, rotting heart of flesh and blood! ?Countless pieces of red and black flesh turned into tentacles, suckers, mouthparts... The surface was also covered with various beating internal organs like stomach, heart, liver, and kidneys. ?The jet-black liquid, which was like substance, slowly flowed out from the mouthparts, dripped onto the seabed, and instantly spread into a twisted carpet of flesh. Making this jungle of flesh and blood continue to expand outwards. With the heart beating again and again, the tree man corpses on the meat carpet were stimulated to let out crazy and painful silent roars. "this" ?Seeing this scene, not to mention the crew, even Xia En was deeply shocked. Is this the real [City of Giant Trees]? Even though he had seen the true face of [Seed of Life], he had some expectations in his heart. ?But this city made of rotten, filthy flesh and blood still gave him a strong mental impact. When he thought about how long he had spent in this city of flesh and blood, Xia En felt his scalp numb and his back chilly. This is still the picture after [Memory Sharing], and the impact itself has been reduced a lot. You can imagine how frightened Xian Ge was when he saw this scene. No wonder it became so flustered. The crew members were also greatly shocked by the changes in the scene in the light curtain. The main thing is the comparison between before and after, which is too obvious. ?One second it was a forest full of life, the next second it became filthy and blasphemous flesh and blood. ??Joy couldn''t help but worry: "Mr. Captain, do you have to explore this city?" "I think... it''s better for us to leave as soon as possible." ?Shaan shook his head: "I have a reason to explore it." But dont worry, I have a unique way of exploring, and everything will be fine. By now, most of the crew had vaguely guessed the secret of Xia En''s [Deep Sea Diving], but neither party had revealed it. The crew only regarded this as Xia En''s special secret method and did not pursue it too much. As the captain, Shanes power on the ship is unlimited. ?At this point, he had made up his mind, and the crew would naturally not try to persuade him further. Yan Yan, who was wearing a robe, suggested: "Captain Xia En, why don''t you let me go down with you?" Let me burn this forest clean! Yan Yans expression is very cheerful and sunny, which is a bit scary when he says it. ?However, Yan Yan rarely takes the initiative to request combat. After all, when that mysterious and powerful flame burns the enemy, it also burns his body. Yan Yan can finally control his own flames now, but he doesn''t want to fall into the **** of being tortured by flames every day. So, Xia En was a little curious about the reason why he took the initiative to ask for a fight. Yan Yan said directly and frankly: "I don''t know why, but I feel very unhappy when I see that huge heart, and I always want to burn it." Unhappy? This is indeed a reason. ?However, Xia En could not help but think of Yan Yans mysterious past. Yan Yan''s origin is also unusual. Xia En can only barely guess that he may have some connection with the legendary "King Xin". ?Perhaps, in his lost memory, he had contact with the [Giant Wood God]? Xia En''s eyes swept over Yan Yan, Xian Ge and An. So far, these crew members have deep-hidden secrets that have not yet been discovered. Each of them has a distinguished background, and each of them has a unique bloodline. It seems that I am the only one who has made it this far through my own efforts and a little help from [Eye of the Secret Sea]... Xia En put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and decided to take Yan Yan with him on his next dive. Not that he really wanted to burn this rotten city down. Although most of the tree people in the city have converted to the [Giant Wood God], there are still a small number of tree people who insist on their faith and are still lingering. Can''t we burn them completely as well? ?Xia En decided to use Yan Yan as a "backup hidden energy source." When the last resort came, he released the flames and exploded with the group of trees. At this time, Xia En remembered something again and asked Xian Ge. Can you take a photo of this memory? Xiange said uncertainly: "If there is a shadow stone, it should be OK?" The image stone is a special alchemical product that can temporarily record part of the image. Most of the time, it is used by federal law enforcement officers to collect evidence. ??Sometimes it is used for some interesting purposes. Coincidentally, there is actually a photographic stone among the Duke of Nova''s inheritance. ?Thinking of this, Xia En took out the shadow stone and handed it to Xian Ge. ?Xian Ge immediately started operating. ??The reason why Shane wanted to record this video is simple. At this time, there are still some conservatives in [City of Giant Trees]. It was only because of the growing strength of the reformists and the temptation of "rebirth" that they were forced to fall into the arms of the [Giant Wood God]. ??If the truth can be revealed to them, although not all the tree people will change their minds, it will at least change the views of some tree people. ?Of course, Xia En has not forgotten that his ultimate goal is to find the Elf Temple. With the help of this image, we might be able to get help from some tree people. We have to talk to that old Hunter again. Grandpa Hunter was taken away by the executioner! The next day, Xia En and Yan Yan came to the underwater forest. As soon as they found the tree man Mumu, they heard the news. Mumu''s face was full of anxiety, even crying. Yesterday, not long after I told Grandpa Hunter about Uncle Farners betrayal, the executioners came! Grandpa Hunter took the initiative to confront them in order to make me hide. Resultresult ?Xia En frowned and reassured: "Don''t panic yet." What was the crime for which it was taken away? With yesterday''s experience, Xia En also had a certain understanding of this small kingdom of tree people. ? He ??knew that the "Executioner" was actually an existence similar to the "Law Enforcer", used to manage order in the [City of Giant Woods]. ??But with the defection of the elder Fana, the executioner gradually became a sharp knife to persecute the conservatives. ?Mumu stared at Xia En and whispered. Yes, its a human being who secretly hides aliens Xia En raised his eyebrows. Could it be that he was exposed? But on second thought, this was probably an unwarranted frame-up. ? No matter whether Hunter has anything to do with him or not, once he is taken away by the executioner, the initiative is already in the hands of the other party. Whether Hunter is hiding something secretly is actually not important at all. What is important is whether the executioner thinks he is hiding something secretly! (End of this chapter) Chapter 242 The ruins of the Elven Temple Chapter 242 The ruins of the Elf Temple In this situation, even if Hunter has not had any contact with him, he will be accused of sheltering outsiders. Not to mention, he did protect Xia En and could not withstand the investigation! Xia En''s mind flashed and he asked Mumu. Where will the executioner take Old Hunter? ?No matter what, the reason why Old Hunter encountered this unreasonable disaster was inseparable from Shane. He couldn''t just let old Hunter be executed. Hearing this, Mumu was surprised and said: "You, what do you want to do?" Of course Im going to save old Hunter, or are we going to watch him die? Xia En said matter-of-factly: "By the way, do you know other elders among the tree people? Preferably those with higher status." The understanding is serious, its just... Mumu looked bitter: "I don''t know who is trustworthy and who is not trustworthy." Grandpa Hunter told me yesterday that now, my uncles and uncles may fall to the [Giant Wood God] at any time... Grandpa said, the only one I can trust is myself After experiencing the double betrayal of her friend and childhood sweetheart yesterday, and almost being planted with the [Seed of Corruption], Mumu could barely keep calm. But now, even its only support, Old Hunter, has been taken away. Mumu finally panicked, as if it had lost its backbone. In the final analysis, based on Shurens lifespan, Mumu is actually just a young man who is not deeply involved in the world. Its current performance is considered strong enough. ?Xia En has already made a decision in his heart and acts vigorously and resolutely. In that case, if there is any elder you think you can trust relatively, lets go find him first. Mumu murmured: "The most reliable one should be Elder Iris, who is Grandpa Hunter''s best friend." Xia En said decisively: "Then look for it." Mumu was still a little worried: "But what if Elder Yliss..." ?This series of tragic encounters has made this young tree man a little nervous, fearing that he will encounter the next betrayal. At this time, Xia En said firmly. Dont worry, I have everything under my control. The confused Mumu lowered her head, looked at his tall and tall figure, and listened to the calm and indifferent tone. Her heart felt settled for no reason, and she felt confident. If it were him, maybe he could really help me and grandpa get through this crisis..." ?Thinking of this, Mumu no longer hesitated and said decisively: "Please come with me." Ill lead the way for you. ??As an aboriginal of the [City of Giant Trees], Mumu is far more familiar with this city than Xia En and the other two. ?Hence, we knew a few hidden routes forward, and both Xia En and Xia En were disguised, so they had a smooth journey along the way. Led by Mumu, the group soon came to a particularly special forest. Here, the surrounding woods present a different look. The branches and leaves on the trunk are gray-black in color, and the bark is as withered and shriveled as that of tree people like Mumu, making it look particularly gloomy and weak in vitality. ??It is incompatible with the nearby forest, which is extremely vivid and even dazzling in green. What surprised Xia En the most. After arriving in this area, the malice in the forest seemed to have faded a bit, and it no longer gave people the feeling of a ray of light on their backs. After witnessing the true appearance of [Seed of Corruption] and [City of Giant Trees]. ?Shaan already knows that in this city, one cannot simply rely on the appearance of things as a criterion. An area that appears to be full of vitality is actually a carpet of rotting and decaying flesh. ?Perhaps this seemingly strange and deep forest is actually a rare pure land in [City of Giant Trees]? As if aware of Xia En''s curious gaze, Mumu explained in a low voice. We call this place the Black Forest. It seems to have been like this many years ago. "In the mouths of the reformists, they have always claimed that this forest is a cursed place, a territory that is rejected by the [Giant Wood God]." So they rarely go deep into it and have very limited control over this forest. Elder Aerys and his people live deep in this forest. On the way here, Xia En briefly learned about this elder Yliss from Mumu. Strictly speaking. ??Yerys is neither a conservative nor a reformist. Using the internal name of tree people, they should belong to the category of the hermit sect. In short, it means neither supporting the belief in the old gods nor turning around to believe in the new gods. Attempting to transcend the two major factions, they just want to survive without fighting against the world. ?This is one of the reasons why Mumu didnt dare to come to Iris at first. After all, it could not confirm what Aerys''s attitude would be towards this matter, or whether he would stand idly by. ?However, although Aerys advocated remaining neutral, he wanted to live in seclusion in the Black Forest. But as the conflicts between the two factions become increasingly acute, it is difficult for the confrontation between the two to involve members of the Hermit Sect. Very simple reason. Treants of the hermit sect will always have relatives and friends who are either conservative sect or reformist sect. ?For example, Iris herself is Hunters best friend. ??And once these close people are affected by the confrontation between the two factions, can the reclusive faction still stay out of the world? In the final analysis, the more intense the struggle, the less tolerated the existence of neutralists. Things have developed to where they are now. As the leader of the hermit faction, Aerys has to make the final decision. After knowing these inside information, Xia En became more confident in this operation. ?Not long after a group of people entered the black forest. ?In a corner of the forest, the branches and leaves of the trees suddenly swayed, and there was an undercurrent surging. Mumu was startled and immediately looked in that direction warily. Xia En took a step forward, stood in front of Mu Mu, and said, "Senior, why do you need to hide your head and show your tail?" You might as well come forward and speak frankly. ...human beings? ??In the dark forest, a slightly surprised voice came out. But soon, there was a trace of fear in this voice. Nowhat the **** are you Obviously, the guy hiding in the dark tried to see through the nature of Xia En''s [projection body], so he saw something he shouldn''t have seen, and was a little frightened by it. By this time, Xia En had already noticed It seems that the more powerful and inspired the existence is, the more frightened it will be when facing the [Projection Body]. On the contrary, Mumu, a young man who doesnt know anything, cant see much abnormality. At this time, Shane said frankly: "It doesn''t matter who I am." The important thing is that you [City of Giant Woods] are about to face a disaster! All the tree people in this city will meet the end of destruction. Hearing this, the other party immediately retorted: "Nonsense!" [The City of Giant Trees] is obviously still peaceful, so where is the disaster and the ending of destruction? ?Xia En couldn''t help but glance at the direction where the sound came from with pity. It seems like you really dont know anything ?Such a look of pity, but the rebuttal made people even more angry. With the surge of sea water, a huge tree man seven or eight meters tall walked into the black forest. ?That rough and withered tree face was full of anger, and its voice was like a bell. What does mean? I dont know anything? So what do you know? The moment he saw the tree man, Xia En couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. Because, although this tree man is taller and the bark is slightly darker, overall, he still looks as dry and ugly as Mu Mu. Apparently the [Seed of Corruption] has not been accepted yet. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out out out Facing the menacing tree man, Xia En said calmly without changing his expression. Take us to Elder Aerys quickly. Big man, you dont want [City of Giant Woods] to perish because of your negligence, right? "Um?" The big tree man was stunned. ?It always felt that what the other party said sounded fine, but when it thought about it carefully, it felt that something was wrong. Isnt it here to give these people a blow? How come you became the leader? Below, Mumu raised his head and said anxiously: "Uncle Wind, please, we really have something important to report to Elder Yliss." Mumu has been to the Black Forest several times, and naturally got acquainted with some of the hermit tree people. ?Seeing Mumu''s eager look, the big tree man was a little embarrassed and muttered. "But Lord Aerys said that no one else is allowed to enter the Black Forest..." Just when it was still hesitant. ??A faint sigh came from the depths of the black forest. Thats it, Wende, let them in. Hearing this voice, the big tree man immediately showed a respectful look on his face. Yes, Lord Aerys. Then, the treeman Wind glanced at Shane and others with complicated eyes: "Although I still think you are alarmist, now that Lord Aerys has spoken..." You guys, come with me. With Wen De''s guidance, Xia En and his party encountered no resistance and successfully entered the depths of the black forest. ? Along the way, Xia En also met other tree people from the hermit sect. ?However, unlike the conservative and innovative tree people, most of these reclusive tree people are in a strange state of sleep. Even if they get close, they show no sign of waking up. It feels like being integrated with the black forest and breathing with the breathing of the black forest. Xia En silently remembered what he saw in his heart and continued to move forward. After a while, they came to a black tree that was several times bigger than Wende. ?This tree is forty to fifty meters high. Dozens of people need to wrap their arms around the trunk to hug it. Only by looking up can most of its body be seen. To be honest, it is even more exaggerated than Shane''s size after he transformed into a giant. Among the underwater tree people, such a huge body is actually very rare. It seems that due to water pressure and seawater erosion, or perhaps to reduce energy consumption, the size of the tree people in [City of Giant Trees] is generally restricted, and they have become much smaller than on the island. ??Generally under ten meters, a tree man close to ten meters is considered a big man. Of course, this pocket is relative to tree people. Compared with humans, they still have a natural size advantage. At this time, with so many restrictions, this tree man still dared to maintain such a large body. It shows its strong strength. Facing the tree man who was several times his size, Xia En''s expression remained unchanged and he took the initiative to ask. Are you Aerys? Its me. Iris responded: "If I guess correctly, you should be the outsider who caused the riot in [City of Giant Woods] yesterday, right?" Sean nodded: "Compared to this, what I want to ask is, do you know that Hunter has been taken away by the executioner?" Hearing this, Iris moved his eyes to Mumu next to him and sighed again. Im sorry about Hunter. ?Mumu was stunned immediately. ??The meaning of Iris''s words was that he had obviously known for a long time that Hunter was taken away by the executioner. So, does it even intend to face death without saving it? Iris continued: "It''s not that I don''t want to, but that I can''t." As he spoke, there was a sudden vibration below the ground, as if the entire seabed was shaking slightly. ?Shaan saw several roots wriggling in the mud, as if they were trying to get out of the soil, but it seemed extremely difficult. Iris smiled bitterly and said: "As you can see, I have become one with this forest and this seabed." My body is still here, but the roots have already gone deep into the ground. I dont know how deep it is. Its almost impossible to get out of the ground. Its eyes fell on the other tree men in the black forest, and it murmured in a complicated tone. Actually, its not just me, most of the tree people in the hermit sect have chosen this way to blend in with the black forest. Although it falls into a deep sleep, it can greatly reduce the consumption required for survival. And when that **** returns, we will wake up. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly felt enlightened. ??These hermit factions seem to be just neutral forces among the tree people. In fact, they chose a different way of survival from the two factions. The conservatives stubbornly adhere to their past beliefs and struggle to hold on. The reformists fell into the arms of the [Giant Wood God] to gain a longer life. ??The hermit sect seems to have buried dormant fires, hoping that the gods in the future can awaken them. It is difficult for Xia En to decide whether it is right or wrong. But now, the idea of ??borrowing power from Aerys seems to have failed. ? Even more, Shane suspected that Aerys might have known the truth about the [Seed of Life] and the malicious intentions of the [Giant Wood God]. He also knows that with the power of cultivating people, it is impossible to cope with it in advance. This is why we choose such a negative and pessimistic approach and place our hopes on the future. ?As a result, the effect of the image stone in Xia En''s hand on the true face of [City of Giant Woods] is greatly reduced. ''pity. Xia En sighed in his heart, but he was not discouraged. It would be best to have Aerys'' help. Without it, it would not be able to stop his original plan. ??Its just that he still has one key question that he hasnt asked. Elder Aerys, do you know where the Elven Temple of [City of Giant Woods] is located? ?Hearing this question, Iris was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. Where is the elven temple? That place has long been crushed into ruins by the [Giant Wood God]. To be honest, the place where the executioners were executed was the ruins of the Elf Temple. (End of this chapter) Chapter 243 miracle Chapter 243 Miracles The Elf Temple in [City of Giant Woods] has been destroyed? Hearing the news, Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised. ?His ultimate goal in coming to [City of Giant Woods] is to find the Elf Temple and seek a chance to return to the past. ?But now, Aerys told him that the temple had been destroyed long ago? ! This is simply a big joke played by fate on him! "Yes." ?Yerys saw from Xia Ens reaction that he seemed to pay special attention to the Elf Temple, so he explained kindly. When [The Giant Wood God] first came to this city, we always thought that he was one of the incarnations of the goddess of life. But later, he gradually revealed his wolfish ambitions and began to spread that weird [seed of life]. At that time, Old Hunter and I realized that there was definitely something wrong with the [Giant Wood God]. Talking about these past events, Iris mood became increasingly depressed while feeling reminisced about them. Its just that the temptation of [Seed of Life] to the tree people in [City of Giant Trees] is too great. Even if we old guys try our best to curb the spread of [Seed of Life], its all in vain. It was also at that time that Old Hunter and I embarked on different paths. It attempts to compete head-on with the power of the [Giant Wood God], but I am determined to live in seclusion in this dark forest. Hearing this, Shane also understood the reason why Iris and Hunter parted ways. ?Different personalities and opinions determined that they made different choices when facing this crisis. This remark also shows that There are still smart people among the tree people. Even though Iris and other elders may not know the true identity of [Seed of Life], they at least have a vague guess at part of the truth. Thats why I resolutely refuse to accept [the seed of life]. Iris continued: "As the number of supporters of [The Giant Wood God] increased, one day, he directly used his divine power to raze the Elf Temple to the ground." Even the statue of the goddess of life was smashed into countless pieces and buried in the current execution ground. Speaking of this, Iris''s tone was full of bitterness and helplessness. If there was really no chance of winning, why would we choose this ostrich-like method to escape? Thats why I say, its not that I dont want to, but that I cant! After hearing these words, Shane had a rough understanding of Iris''s psychology. ?Its current state is somewhat similar to Augustine who was defeated by [Hui Siming] at that time. ??They all believe that the current [City of Giant Woods] is hopeless, so they are forced to place their hopes in the future, trying to retain as much fire and power as possible. ?This idea itself is okay. But now, isnt this the arrival of Xia En? He is here, relying on the immortality ability of Yan Yan and [Projection Body], even if he cannot defeat [Giant Wood God], he will definitely cause him a lot of trouble. ?However, Iris didnt know much about Xia En and the others, so it was reasonable to dare not place a big bet on them. In Aeryss words, Shaan also heard a noteworthy name. The goddess of life? Isnt she an elf goddess? Besides, this name should be taboo in [City of Giant Trees], right? Iris replied: "In the mouth of the elves, she is naturally the elven goddess." But in fact, she is not only the mother goddess who created the elves, but also the mother of all living things in the world, the source of all living beings, and the authority over nature and life! ?When talking about the so-called "goddess of life", Iris'' tone suddenly became pious and respectful, not daring to blaspheme at all. This shows the important position of this **** in its heart. Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. The goddess of elves and the goddess of life sound like there is only one word difference. But the actual gap is as huge as a natural chasm! The status has been directly improved a lot! ?Xia En always thought that the Elf Goddess was just a deity of the Elf tribe. But judging from what Iris said, the other party is actually one of the creators of this world? ?Of course, as a believer, Aerys will definitely speak well of his god. Havent you seen that those small sects also like to apply words such as supreme and omnipotent to their own gods? ?The higher the status of the deity, the believers themselves will naturally be honored, even if they are blown out. ?However, based on the contact between Shane and Aerys, this old tree man does not seem to be the kind of person to boast. In other words, there may be some water in these words. But it should be true that the Elf Goddess is the Goddess of Life! ?Shaan frowned, feeling more and more confused. Since he crossed over, the name "Goddess of Life" has never been heard in the Seven Seas. ??If the Elf Goddess was just the **** of the elves, it would be reasonable for her to disappear with the demise of the elves. ??But how could a **** who controls such important authority as "life" disappear so completely, as if not even a trace exists? Can the power of [Huisi Ming] really be able to reach this level? ?Xia En always felt that there was a deeper secret behind this. ?While Shane was thinking about these questions, Aerys answered another of his questions. We can mention His name here because this black forest can resist the kingdom of the [Giant Wood God]. Although it cannot hinder the expansion of the [Giant Wood God], at least you dont have to worry about being captured by them just because of a name. A simple sentence is enough to explain the persecution and bitterness they have suffered in recent years as they adhere to their faith. Soon, Iris straightened his expression and asked. Outsider, now you know what you want to know. Are you still going to save old Hunter? Hearing this, Xia En fell into thinking. At the moment, Aeryss attitude is clear. ?Although it has an old relationship with Old Hunter, it is impossible to help due to its own position and status. For a while, Mumu could not find any other elders he could trust. On the contrary, the tree people who believe in the [Giant Wood God] account for the vast majority of the [Giant Tree City]. It can be said that their current situation is that they are surrounded by enemies and isolated! on the other hand. ??The original target, the Elf Temple, has been destroyed, and even the statue of the goddess has become a remnant of history. It seems that there is no point in continuing to struggle in the [City of Giant Woods]. but ?Shaan thought about the helping hand that Old Hunter had extended to him before, and then thought about the tragic situation of the entire city recorded in the photo stone, and finally let out a long breath and said firmly. Ill still go. Although the situation at this time was extremely bad, it had become a big and difficult problem. But he may not have no chance of winning! When he was only at the second level, Xia En dared to cause chaos in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. ??Now that his strength has become stronger, his courage has not become weaker! Furthermore, [City of Giant Woods] is suspected to be inextricably linked to [Dirty Siming]. Xia En has reasons to continue exploring, both emotionally and rationally. ??Taking a step back, wouldnt it be good to just use [City of Giant Woods] as a leveling point to increase the experience of Ship Soul? ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and said. Thanks to the elder for clarifying my doubts, I will take my leave now. Dont worry, I wont drag you down. Immediately, he turned to look at Mumu beside him: "Mumu, just stay here and don''t move around." With Elder Aeryss protection, you will be safe and sound. Youwhy Facing Xia Ens reaction, Iris was shocked and her eyes widened. ?It really couldnt understand why this outsider dared to say such words even though he was in such a desperate situation.????Simple recklessness? Foolish arrogance? Apparently not. Shaan obviously came up with this answer after thinking deeply. ??Moreover, Iris also saw a resolute self-confidence in him. Its like having the confidence to face all difficulties and fight your way out! The former Iris also had this kind of strong confidence. ?However, as he grew older, the situation became worse and worse, and he was dragged down by other tree people, he gradually lost this confidence and became calm and cautious. In the end, he only dared to linger in this dark forest and became the so-called "hermit sect." This moment. ??Yris suddenly realized: "That''s it." So...am I already old? ?It was indeed moved by Xia En for a moment, but soon reason suppressed this impulse. It is no longer young. ?It represents not only himself, but all the sleeping tree people in this dark forest. So, it can no longer make a desperate move. Iris lowered his head slightly, looked at the dazed Mumu, and persuaded him. Little guy, youd better stay. We can persist in this forest for a long time, and maybe we can wait until a miracle comes. ?Unexpectedly, after Mumu heard this, she shook her head firmly. No, my benefactor, I want to go too. ?It asked Xia En: "Please take me with you!" ??This short tree man puffed up his chest: "I can''t watch Grandpa Hunter being executed and do nothing!" I would rather die in battle than rot like this. Im ready to wake up! Looking at its firm eyes, Xia En swallowed his words of persuasion. ?Besides, Iris'' heart was touched again. It vaguely saw the shadow of its friend Hunter when he was young from Mumu''s body. ??Has that young tree that just sprouted grown up? Thats fine. Aerys sighed, and a thick black branch fell off from his body. "This is my token, which represents my attitude. You guys, please bring it with you. Maybe... it will be of some use." After the three people left. ?Treant Wind walked to Aerys and whispered: "Lord Aerys, you can actually leave the Black Forest, right?" Iris did not deny it and said calmly: "That''s right, it''s just that all the tree people in the hermit sect will have to pay a very heavy price." I cant take that kind of risk with a slim chance of winning. Wen De said in a low voice: "They...really don''t even have a chance?" Really not. Iris said with a wry smile. Immediately, he raised his head and looked above his head. In the sea water above, there seemed to be tiny rays of light shining on this [City of Giant Woods], bringing some light. ?Seeing this scene, something happened, Iris added. Unless...a miracle happens. Another corner of [City of Giant Trees]. An open space called the "Execution Square" by the tree people. There are no trees in the open space, and there are some broken walls on all sides, standing there alone. ?The walls are swaying here and there, badly eroded by the sea water, and look abandoned for a long time. ??If Shane were here, he would be able to see... ?The layout of these broken walls has many similarities with the temple of the [Emerald Holy City]. In the mud and sand on the seabed, several fragments of what appear to be human-shaped sculptures can be seen. From these fragmentary clues, we can vaguely get a glimpse of the past glory of this place. But now, this place has become a place of execution. Several large tree guards nearly ten meters high are guarding the surroundings of the square. In the more peripheral areas, there are groups of tree people of different heights. ?Their purpose of coming here is simple. Thats why Im here to join in the fun! Just like in ancient times, when beheadings were carried out in the market, many people would watch. Executions in the City of Giant Trees were also considered a rare entertainment activity for tree people. ?Tree people live much longer than humans. Besides daily expansion and capturing sacrifices, you have to do something else. ?Watching the executioners'' executions is a good pastime. First of all, you can appreciate the ugliness of those die-hards. Secondly, it can also promote and strengthen the majesty of the [Giant Wood God]. ?Today, far more tree people came to watch this execution than usual. After all, Hunters name is still somewhat famous in [City of Giant Trees]. ??Treant people all know that it is an old antique among the conservatives, and it is still very hot-tempered. In the eyes of the reformists, it has long been like a thorn in the flesh, and it is difficult to remove it quickly. At this moment. Surrounded by everyone, Hunter''s body was bound by countless vines and he was forced to kneel in the center of the square. ?Above, the tree man presiding over the execution had a sad expression on his face. Hunter, I never expected that you would protect those insidious humans and allow them to harm our companions. You have made such a big mistake, is there anything else you want to say? Hunter stared at the tree man and snorted coldly. Hmph, Fana, your acting skills are getting better and better. Even I was fooled by you. Now, do you want to confuse right and wrong again? The tree man who executed it was none other than his former comrade-in-arms, Elder Fana. Hearing this, Fanas expression did not change: Old Hunter, I dont understand what you are talking about. After several young tree peoples reports, your crime has been confirmed. What are you still trying to quibble about? The young tree people mentioned by Fana are none other than Nigel, Golisi and others. At this time, they also stood in a corner of the square and watched. Hunter glanced at a few people with his peripheral vision, and suddenly felt as if he was more sad than dead. The younger generation is the hope of a race. But now, most of them have fallen into the arms of the [Giant Tree God], and there are fewer and fewer young tree people who stick to their faith. Does the tree people really have a future? (End of this chapter) Chapter 244 Time is starting to flow backwards! Chapter 244 Time is starting to flow backwards! Looking at the many young tree people watching, Old Hunter couldn''t help but think of his grandson Mumu. ?That was also the only person that Old Hunter could not let go of in [City of Giant Trees]. I hope Mumu can be smarter and know how to go to the Black Forest to find Iris. Old Hunter secretly prayed: "If it hides in the dark forest, it should be able to last longer, right?" Although living is painful in itself, there is no hope after death. "Mumu, you must live..." ??Just as Old Hunter was performing his final prayers, Fanner in the center of the execution square seemed too lazy to conduct any more meaningless interrogations. From the moment Hunter was brought to this square, the outcome of this trial was already determined! Therefore, Fana pronounced the verdict. Elder Hunter harbored the humans who harmed our compatriots, and the evidence of his crime is conclusive! According to the laws of [City of Giant Woods], the death penalty should be imposed! As soon as its voice fell, the tree people around it suddenly felt like they were in a state of excitement, with excited and cruel emotions showing in their empty eyes. It''s like they''ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Immediately afterwards, the tree people began to shout. Execution!! Execution! Execution! Execution! At first, only one or two tree men shouted. ?But soon, many tree people joined in, and the shouts of "execution" quickly became one, echoing on the ruins of the Elven Temple. The "capital punishment" mentioned by Fana is the most cruel punishment among tree people. Since the vitality of tree people is much stronger than that of humans, their fatal injuries are also very different from humans. ??The most cruel and efficient way to execute a tree man is to use huge force to tear the victim''s body into countless pieces. It has something in common with the human punishments of "breaking a chariot into pieces" and "dividing a body into pieces by five horses". Old Hunter looked at the tree people around him, seeing the fanaticism and violence on their faces, and felt cold all over his body. ?Those once-familiar faces now look so unfamiliar. Their expressions are highly similar, as if they were carved from the same mold. ??Its like At this moment, there was a huge and cruel will that completely covered the original spirit of the tree people. In other words, the tree people have become part of that will and an extension of its soul! But about this, these tree people who accepted the [Seed of Life] knew nothing about it. Hunter suddenly felt very sad. Feeling sad both for myself and for the fate of this [city of giant trees]. At this time, several executioners had already stretched out their vines towards Hunter and gradually tightened the branches of the old tree man. ?Hunter sighed and prepared to face the last moments of his life. But at this moment. ?Over the execution square, a bright and hot fire suddenly exploded. It is hard to imagine that such a flame could be blazing in this deep seabed. In an instant, the dim square was illuminated by firelight. ?Such a change also interrupted the shouts of the tree people, slightly diluting the weird and cruel evil atmosphere. ?They opened their eyes wide and looked at the water above. ??I saw a tall figure wrapped in flames standing there. A handsome sunny face was gradually exposed in the firelight. ?Beside him, even the sea water was ignited by fire, and the water temperature was slowly rising, making all the tree people feel a little uncomfortable. Is it human!? But whats that flame? Theres actually a flame that can ignite the sea! Is that fire? This is the first time Ive seen it For these tree people living in the underwater forest, "flame" is an extremely rare existence. For the younger generation of tree people, it was the first time for many of them to see this kind of thing with their own eyes. Just like the shock when humans saw electricity for the first time, the impact they received when they saw flames was equally great. ?Faunas eyes flashed with surprise, and he murmured: Actually a human again? ?For a long time in the past, no human being dared to come to the sea area where the [City of Giant Woods] was located, let alone go deep into this forest. But in the past two days, two people have sneaked into the [City of Giant Trees] one after another. Furthermore, both of them seem to have very extraordinary abilities. This seems unusual. ?However, the arrival of this human being just proves Hunters crime of colluding with humans! ?Faner snorted coldly: "Hunter, this must be the human accomplice who is colluding with you!" It seems that they still want to rescue you. Its okay to let that man escape by chance before, but he still dares to come to the execution square. How audacious! Enter the executioner! Kill him for me! ?Faner''s words are undoubtedly characterizing the matter and directly put the flame man in a hostile position. Hearing his order, the tree people called executioners did not hesitate and rushed directly towards the man on the top. The biggest difference between Executioners and other tree people is that their bodies are often integrated with other creatures. They are the tree people that Xia En saw before, parasitic on sea creatures. Some are fish, and some are shrimps and crabs. Some others control the human body. While they occupy the bodies of other creatures, they also maintain their strange activity, giving them special abilities that ordinary tree people do not have. It can be said that the executioner is the elite monster among the tree people! ?While many executioners rushed towards Yan Yan, a clear and steady voice suddenly sounded around the execution square. ?The sound was not too loud, but it was enough to cover the entire square, and it was difficult to determine the source of the sound. Stupid tree people, you have been deceived by the [Giant Wood God] for too long! Everything you see and hear is false. The so-called gods and the so-called greatness are nothing but a fictitious fraud! And now, I will show you the truth! ??Although this voice only said a few words, it caused an uproar among the tree people. ?Like pouring a bowl of cold water into a frying pan. For the tree people who have accepted the "Seed of Life", the "Giant Wood God" has long become the most noble and greatest existence in their minds. At this time, these words are undoubtedly blasphemous to the [Giant Wood God]! ? No believer can tolerate his or her **** being slandered and slandered by others! As a result, the entire tree people in the Execution Square were boiling. And the first thing to bear the brunt is naturally the flames rising from high places. Many tree people believe that he was the one who said the blasphemous words just now. Under the hostile gazes of many tree men, Yan Yan''s expression did not change. Just kidding, he has been frozen on the ice and snow island for who knows how many years, so he still has some determination. ?Taking this opportunity, Yan Yan followed the captain''s instructions and activated the image stone that he had previously held in his hand. The next moment. A huge light curtain appeared next to Yan Yan. The picture presented is exactly part of Xian Ges memory. Due to the reflection of the firelight, this light curtain looks extremely eye-catching in the sea water. ?Not only the onlookers in the Execution Square, but also some of the tree people in the forest further away saw the picture on the light screen. This is... [City of Giant Woods]? What on earth does that guy want to do? At first glance at the scene on the light screen, the tree people were generally more confused than surprised, and they were somewhat indifferent, thinking that this was Yan Yan''s way of delaying time. Just very quickly, when the picture began to change, the tree people couldn''t help but be stunned. They saw that the lush woods turned into a deformed and ugly carpet of flesh. The thriving tree men turned into rotting mummies. The great and noble [Giant Wood God] turned into a huge tumor-shaped heart! Lord, what on earth is this? ?Seeing the scene in the light curtain, the tree man couldn''t help but exclaimed. When Xia En saw these pictures, he was greatly shocked. Not to mention these aboriginal people who originally lived in [City of Giant Trees]. ?Old Hunter stared blankly at the light screen and murmured desperately. Is that really the case? It turns out that [City of Giant Woods] has become like this Even though Hunter had expected the truth of [Seed of Life], the image displayed in the light screen still gave him a strong shock. ?However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect tree people to change their deep-rooted ideas with just a light screen. Soon, Fana shouted: "Don''t panic!" Thats just an illusion displayed by despicable humans! Think about it carefully, how could the real [City of Giant Woods] look like that? ?Faner''s rake was surprisingly effective. After all, compared to a strange outsider, the tree people obviously trust the respected elders within the clan more. Yan Yan''s actions of "making up lies" and "performing illusions" were immediately regarded by the tree people as a more serious act of blasphemy, which aroused their anger. Thats right, that must be a fake! Human beings are indeed despicable and shameless, so sacrifice him to the [Giant Wood God] and wash away this sin with his blood! ?So, the tree people attacked Yan Yan like crazy. In an instant, Yan Yan was surrounded by a sea of ??trees that Xia En encountered last time! ?However, facing the surging enemies, Yan Yan was not afraid at all. ??More and more flames rose from his body, violently devouring all the trees near him... When the tree people''s attention was attracted by the flames in the sea. In the Execution Square below. Two figures were quickly approaching Old Hunter, who was bound in place by vines. Grandpa Hunter, we are here to save you! Hearing this voice, Hunter suddenly woke up from his dejected state. Mumu?! Why are you here? Mumu said: Of course Im here to save you! ?At this time, Hunter also noticed Xia En next to Mumu, and immediately guessed the general context of the matter. Young man, did you prepare that light curtain too? Xia En nodded and said, "It''s me." However, Senior Hunter, you should be able to tell that it is not an illusion, right? Hunter nodded heavily: "Yes, that is probably the true face of [City of Giant Woods] now." Its a pity that you came too late. If you had come a few decades earlier, you might have made many tree people realize the truth. But now Hunter looked at the angry and fanatical tree men, and his heart became heavier. Even if they see the truth, they wont believe it. Shane said while cutting down the vines around Hunter, "I know." In fact, he had no intention of letting the tree people recognize the reality just based on the picture of the shadow stone. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. The tree people in [City of Giant Trees] actually have this mentality. Coupled with the control of [Seed of Corruption], it is almost impossible to get them to change their minds. ?Xia Ens original intention was just to attract the hatred of tree people. ??If by the way it can plant a seed of truth in the hearts of some sober tree people, that would be great. ??Although the actions of Shane and the two were secretive, Faner had also been paying attention to the bound Hunter. So, they had just untied the vines around Hunter. Faner noticed the strange movement here and shouted angrily: "Hunter, do you want to escape?" Since most of the executioners were dealing with the flames above, the defense force in the square was extremely limited. Fana simply strode over by himself. Surrounding him, other tree men began to surround him. ??Although Xia En''s combat power is strong, he will definitely not be able to run fast with Hunter and Mu Mu. So, he made a prompt decision and directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and opened the door to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Get in quickly! Hearing this, Hunter and the other two did not hesitate and broke into the silver light door directly. The moment he sent the two people away, Fana had already arrived in front of Xia En. ?The unusually thick branch arm was swung out boldly! Boom! ?Xia En did not dodge or evade, and punched Fana forcefully. The sea water surges and rolls, stirring up a large amount of sediment in an instant. ?Fana took a step back, while Shane took a few steps back. In terms of pure strength, he actually fell into a disadvantage! This means that, in terms of rank, Fana is at least a fifth- or sixth-level existence! ?However, Shane is smaller and more agile. It is obviously unrealistic for Fana to keep him. At the moment, Old Hunter is safe, and Shane can actually retreat. But suddenly. As the sand rolled, Xia En saw a fragment of the statue buried under the sand. It was a half-broken womans face. Xia En recognized it at the first sight. It was the fragment of the statue of the Elf Goddess! There is a mysterious smile hanging on the corner of the goddess''s mouth. Her current state can only be described as miserable and pitiful. By some strange coincidence, Xia En took out the silver pocket watch that he had always kept on his body. The next moment. A "click" sound. ?The hands of the silver pocket watch stopped and were frozen at this moment. ?Not just the pocket watch, but everything around Sean, the passionate tree people, the angry fanar, the flames burning in the sea... Everything is fixed at this moment. But then, the pointer began to move in the counterclockwise direction. ?The sand gradually receded, and the statue fragments hidden around gathered together to form the appearance of a god. ?The broken walls on all sides were repaired and restored by invisible forces, transforming it back into a majestic and tall temple. Time is starting to flow backwards! (End of this chapter) Chapter 245 When we walk into history again Chapter 245 When we enter history again Silver-grey secret power spreads in the sea water. Covering everything in this square with a mysterious color. ?The color is like crystal, diamond or silver. Under the influence of this mysterious power, not only did the surrounding things freeze quickly, but the Elf Temple here was also "rebuilt" in an incredible manner! ?Oh no, rather than "rebuilding", it''s more like making this temple... Go back to the state before it was destroyed? ! Wait, look below! In the square... Oh God, what on earth is this ??The tree people above who were fighting Yan Yan were not stagnated immediately due to the distance. So, they were able to see this incredible scene The entire square was dyed silver gray. The glorious temple that had been lost long ago and existed only in legends and memories rose up out of thin air in the silvery gray light. Is that hall the elven temple? Thats the statue of the goddess of life! Soon, the mood of the tree people changed from shock to intense panic. Even though these tree people have accepted the [Seed of Life] and become believers of the [Giant Wood God]. But no matter what, the goddess of life is the mother goddess of the tree people and occupies an extremely important position in their long history. In legend, the oldest tree man was transformed from a leaf of the goddess of life. In fact, if the power of the goddess of life had not become weaker and weaker over the years, the tree people would not even be able to hear his voice, and they would not embark on this path of betrayal. At present, the reconstruction of the Elf Temple and the gaze of the goddess statue are obviously regarded as a miracle by many tree people! ?So now, will the goddess of life impose divine punishment on them? ?Just thinking about this possibility makes many tree people feel uneasy and panicked. Among them, Fana, Nigel, and Gelis, who had recently turned their backs on trees, showed the strongest expression. How is it possible? Hasnt the goddess of life already... Fanas eyes widened in astonishment. But soon, it crept down like crazy and begged with the utmost piety. Goddess, please forgive me for my crime. I was forced to... However, before Fana finished speaking, a silvery gray mysterious power enveloped it, freezing it in the moment of kneeling down to pray. ?Like a ridiculous and sad sculpture. ?Not only Fana, but also the other tree people in the square came to a standstill under the influence of the silver-grey secret power. At this time. The tree people above the square saw a scene they would never forget. I saw that the companions covered in silver and gray seemed to have shed a layer of false shells, revealing their true appearance - On the deformed and filthy carpet of flesh. Surrounded by weird, ugly, flesh-like and plant-like beings. The dry and rotting mummies were making shrill, silent wails. This, this Nigel looked at this scene blankly: "How did they become like this?" A ridiculous idea emerged unconsciously. Could it be true what those humans just said? ??If we talk about the light curtain shown by Xia En and Yan Yan before, it can also be explained by illusion. ?So now, the picture that is affected by the power of the goddess of life and appears, is it also part of the illusion? Shu people''s hearts inevitably felt strongly shaken. at the same time. Yan Yan, who was surrounded by tree people, suddenly exerted his strength, moved quickly, and blazing flames surged out, burning all enemies that stood in his way. And the direction he was heading towards was the gate of the Elf Temple. ?With the last experience, Yan Yan naturally knew that this silver-gray substance was Captain Xia En''s mysterious method of returning to the past. As the only crew member currently accompanying the captain, of course he has the obligation to go forward and retreat with Xia En! Something strange happened soon. ?That silver-gray secret power obviously has the ability to freeze time and space, but when it fell on Yan Yan, it unexpectedly had no effect. Its like Time has not left the slightest trace on him. ?In this way, while Yin Hui''s secret power expanded outward, Yan Yan came to Xia En''s side without any hindrance. ?This scene made Xia Ens eyelids twitch. ?However, Yan Yan is his teammate after all, so Xia En won''t panic. Actually, Xia En was completely unprepared for the changes in [Instant Time] and the retrieval of the Elf Temple and the God Statue. He never thought that such a change would suddenly occur. But think about it carefully. ?Shaan suspected that the source of this power to retrace time and space may not be the silver pocket watch, but... The power of the goddess of life! It is impossible for the Goddess of Life to not pay attention to the former temple and this [City of Giant Woods]. It is very possible that when the goddess of life left, she left a secret and special power in the temple. ?It wasn''t until Xia En''s arrival that he took the silver pocket watch as an opportunity to activate this magical power. Finally achieved the miracle of traveling through time and space. From a certain perspective, this is indeed a miracle. ?Thinking about it this way, there was a similar principle in the Elf Temple in [Emerald Ancient City]. ?This can also explain why there is no talk about traveling through time and space in the description of [Instant Time]. It can be said that the silver pocket watch is just the key to open the door to the past. ?The remaining power in the Elf Temple is the source of time and space retrieval. ?Many distracting thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. Soon, he put away his distracting thoughts, turned his head and looked at the door of the temple in front of him, and said decisively. Yan Yan, lets go! Having come here, is there any reason to retreat? Immediately, the two figures walked into the depths of the temple one after another... ! Dong dong dong! At the same time as the statue of the goddess was being remodelled. In the center of [City of Giant Woods], the huge, tumor-shaped heart suddenly began to beat very dullly. Each blow seemed to hit the [Seed of Corruption] in the bodies of the tree people. The tree people nearby naturally felt a strong sense of panic, and their whole bodies were shaking like chaff. Whats going on? I feel...the wrath of the Lord! Has anyone committed an act of blasphemy? ??The tree priests who were closer to the heart were panicked. This is the first time since they took this position that they feel the wrath of the gods. At this moment, a tree man with a unique appearance spoke. Dont panic. Just a few annoying little bugs. ??This tree man has a very different appearance from its kind. The left half of its body is completely consistent with that of a human, but the right half of its body still retains the characteristics of a tree man. Half man and half tree. The two are combined in a way that is completely separated and contradictory, giving people an indescribable and strange feeling. The surrounding tree people were all much taller than this half-human, half-tree alien in terms of size and height, but they all showed respect and fear for this person. They quickly responded: "Yes, great priest." In the [City of Giant Trees], the high priest is the tree man closest to the [Giant Wood God]. ? It was also once regarded as the incarnation of the will of the [Giant Wood God] and the agent of the god. I will personally take action and use my absolute strength to tell the remnants of the old era that the new era has arrived! The great priest said calmly: "And [City of Giant Woods] has no ships to carry them!" Click! At the moment when the silver light spread across the execution square. ??Yris in the black forest suddenly opened his eyes. ?The old and withered face showed an extremely strong surprise. Without hesitation, it began to pull out the roots buried under the sand, and conveyed its will to all the tree people in the black forest. Lets go! Today is the moment to decide the fate of [City of Giant Woods]! In fact, Iris is not unable to move, but it requires a huge price ?Its roots have become integrated with this black forest, and are intricately tangled in the mud. In other words, if Iris wants to go somewhere, she must bring the entire black forest with her! At this time, following Iris''s actions, the surrounding seafloor immediately began to tremble. ??Many trees in the black forest are entangled by its roots and brought out of the sand. ?Such a big movement naturally woke up all the tree people in the black forest. ?Wend rushed to Aerys side first and couldnt help but feel puzzled. ??Bi Jiong, before, Elder Yliss was still unwilling to go to war. Why did he change so suddenly? Wen De asked cautiously: "Sir, what happened?" Why did you suddenly decide to take action? You also mobilized the tree people in the entire forest..." Iris looked towards the direction of the execution square, still muttering in disbelief: "A miracle! They really brought a miracle!" And this is our only chance. A sharp look flashed across its face and it said firmly. Since we want to bet, we must put all the bets on it! Xia En naturally knew nothing about the changing situation in [City of Giant Woods] at this time. When he entered the Elf Temple and looked into the eyes of the statue. ?It seems like a very short second has passed, and it seems like an extremely long century has passed. ?Shane opened his eyes. There are no crazy tree men around, and there is no silver-grey brilliance anymore. Instead, there is a clean and tidy Elf Temple. Looking out through the door and windows, the outside world is a dense forest, and it seems to be raining heavily. ?With the experience of traveling through time last time, Xia En calmed down a lot. But he couldn''t help but let out a long breath and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, I went back to the past again. ?Although Xia En still hasnt figured out the principle of traveling through time and space, these two encounters show that he is on the right track. As long as you continue to explore other elven temples, there is the possibility of going back to the past. I dont know if I can see Laila in this day and age? Xia En thought to himself: "Or...change history!?" The destruction of the elves seems to be an established fact. If you want to change this, you can only start from history. But what worries Xia En is still the closing effect of the timeline, or in other words, the inevitability of history. If everything he did in the past would be in vain and ruthlessly erased by history, would it still be meaningful? Xia En was inevitably worried about this. ?However, he has experienced so many things and his mind has long become very determined. Of course, he will not stop moving forward just because of worries. After putting aside his distracting thoughts, Xia En took out two black robes and put them on himself and Yan Yan like last time. Lets just pretend its a disguise. At this time. ?There was a sound of footsteps outside the temple. How could we meet someone else by chance? Xia En thought for a while and hid in the corner of the hall with Yan Yan. After all, their current image is really unflattering, and they are the kind of people who would have no problem being regarded as suspects as "little black men". Soon, a steady male voice sounded first. Its raining so hard, Your Highness, why dont you take shelter in this temple for a while? Immediately, another younger voice responded: "Uncle George, just call me young master outside." But why dont we use magic to block the rain? George replied: "After all, this is the territory of the elves. Using unnatural spells rashly will easily arouse the hostility of the tree people and elves." You have a special status and need to be more careful... While talking, the two of them had already arrived in the hall of the temple. ??The man walking in front was a man with a short beard and a long sword on his waist. He seemed to be in his prime and had a very vigorous temperament. At a glance, you can tell that he is a "knight" or a "guard". Behind him, followed a handsome and weak young man. The young man is dressed in a noble manner, and the clothes on his body are of exquisite workmanship. Combined with the titles of "Your Highness" and "Young Master" just now, it is obvious that his status is either rich or noble. The only shortcoming is that this young man seems a little too immature, as if he has not experienced many hardships and tests. Since he was just here to take shelter from the rain, there was certainly no need for Xia En to do anything. Just when he was planning to wait quietly for the heavy rain to stop and for the two of them to leave. George''s hawk-like eyes swept across the hall, seeing some water stains remaining on the ground and smelling the fishy smell of sea water. That was a little bit of sea water that Xia En and Yan Yan brought with them when they traveled through. Suddenly, George''s expression changed and he looked towards the corner of the hall. Who is it? Come out! As he spoke, he had already drawn the long sword from his waist. ?The sharp meaning made Xia En raise his eyebrows. ?Judging from the aura displayed by the other party, he is at least a fifth-level powerhouse! How come you are so strong when you meet a stranger? ?Xia En complained secretly, but soon regained his balance. After all, we are living in a strange history, so it might not be surprising to encounter legends! Thinking about it for a while, I didnt do anything bad anyway. Xia En simply walked out openly and said, "We are also here to take shelter from the rain." It just happened to happen, no offense intended. ?George looked suspicious and a little unbelieving. ??The appearance of these two people wearing black robes looked suspicious. ??But if the killer was trying to kill His Highness, he should have made a sneak attack long ago. At this time, the young man who seemed to be a noble looked at Xia En and the two of them curiously. Are you also visitors to this meeting of nations? (End of this chapter) Chapter 246 Gathering of Nations, Dark Elves Chapter 246: Conference of All Nations, Dark Elves Conference of Nations? Hearing this unfamiliar term, Xia En''s heart moved. From this name, it is not difficult to tell that this seems to be a meeting held by multiple kingdoms together. ?Perhaps a joint conference like the World Expo on Earth? ??If Xia En guessed correctly, the time point of his time travel should be after the [Wrath of God] occurred in [Emerald Island]. In this era, the continent was dotted with kingdoms of various sizes. Each race also has its own country. Unlike later generations, the vast sea made communication between islands more difficult. There will be exchanges and communication between these kingdoms, which is normal. But, what makes Xia En a little curious is... ??Why is the Conference of Nations held in the Elf Clans [City of Giant Trees]? ? Could this be related to the [Husi Ming] who spied on the world? ??While Shane was thinking about these questions in his mind, the suspicion in the eyes of guard George became stronger. ?Hide ones head but reveal ones tail, and the identity is unknown. At the moment, it takes me a long time to answer such a simple question. ?It''s getting more and more suspicious. Thinking of this, George silently took half a step forward, guarding the young man behind him, and prepared to leave. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?Shane soon realized that he had hesitated for too long, arousing George''s suspicions again. ? He ??originally wanted to avoid these two people, but now that they have been discovered, it is better to simply regard them as the source of information to integrate into this era faster. As his mind turned, Xia En spoke. Yes, we are tourists attending a conference. I just happened to see this elven temple, so I came in to take a look. ?The noble boy''s reaction was obviously a little slow. He didn''t notice anything unusual, but asked curiously. Then which country are you from? Xia En was startled. This shows the disadvantages of not knowing much about history. ?How does he know what kind of kingdom there is in this era? Wait a minute, there seem to be two of them? One is the Kingdom of Southton, which later became the [Coral City], and the other is the Kingdom of Turin, which has close ties with An. The former is obviously a smaller country, while the latter is one of the top powers on the continent. ??In line with the idea of ??a fox pretending to be a tiger, Xia En said decisively: "We are people from the Kingdom of Turin." Just like traveling to a foreign country, naming the name of a big country is more confident than a small and insignificant country, right? But who knew that after hearing the name "Kingdom of Turin", the noble boy''s eyes lit up slightly. Great, it turns out he is a national of this country. We are also citizens of the Kingdom of Turin! The young man''s expression became much more relaxed, and his attitude became more natural, giving him a sense of familiarity as if he were meeting a fellow villager when he went out. George on the side is obviously not as easy to deceive as he is. Judging from the rich experience of this guard. ?It is not necessarily a good thing for a fellow villager to meet a fellow villager. If not, it may lead to a stabbing in the back. ?However, the simple noble boy didn''t think so much and said enthusiastically: "My name is Edward." This is my bodyguard George. What do you two call me? Upon seeing this, Xia En introduced him generously: "I am Xia En and he is Yan Yan." Yan Yan? What a strange name. ?Edward complained a little in his heart, and continued: "I''m from the royal capital, what about you?" ??Xia En only knew the name of the kingdom "Turin" and didn''t know anything about the country''s geography, so he could only speak. "We are from a small place in the countryside. Your Excellency Edward must have never heard of us." "impossible!" ??Edward said confidently: "I have memorized every province in the country since I was three years old, and I have also memorized the slightly larger towns." As long as you name it, I will definitely recognize it. ifier ?Xia En took a breath, he didn''t expect this young man to be so serious. Its just a place name, do we still need to study it in depth? Fortunately, at this moment, George''s cold snort interrupted Edward''s question: "Master! You have said enough!" Obviously, Edward''s true identity was vaguely revealed in his words. But neither Xia En nor Yan Yan were from this era, so of course it was impossible for them to recognize anything. ?This guard is really a little too cautious. ?This on the contrary proves that Edward''s identity is extraordinary. As soon as this idea came to Xia En''s mind, he heard Edward ask in confusion: "Why...Mr. Yanyan, why are you always staring at me?" ?Xia En turned around and realized that Yan Yan was really staring at Edward intently. ?This surprised him. ?From getting along with each other during this period of time, Xia En has long discovered that Yan Yan''s personality is actually quite desireless. ?Its best to have food to eat and people to chat with on the boat. No one will pay attention to him, and he wont feel lonely when he is alone. He rarely showed Xia En what he wanted to do. Yanyan also has a very unique habit of watching the sunrise alone on the deck every morning. Shane asked him why he did this. Yan Yan said that during the years he spent on Ice and Snow Island, he watched the sun rise like this day after day. Otherwise, he seems to have completely lost track of the passage of time. Xia En guessed that it was because the years of being frozen were so long that Yan Yan lost the desires that normal humans should have and became a little sick. ?Perhaps he could even endure whole years without speaking a word. Go with the flow. Be content with the situation. This is Yan Yans current character. Thats why Xia En was particularly surprised when Yan Yan expressed his intention to burn down the [City of Giant Woods] last time. At this time, Yan Yan''s special attention to Edward surprised Xia En for the same reason. After a moment, Yan Yan said in a strange tone. "I think...this Mr. Edward, I seem to have seen him somewhere?" "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, realizing that something was unusual. He looked at Edward carefully and then discovered... He actually thought this young man looked familiar? It was strange that Yan Yan alone felt familiar, and Xia En himself made the matter even more confusing. At this time, George quickly stepped forward and looked at the two of them warily. ?He suspected that His Royal Highness Edward''s true identity had been exposed, and the enemies of these two people were unknown. Perhaps, he should take action in advance... Just when George held the sword at his waist. ?Edward said, "Uncle George, step back." "Don''t worry, I can see that there is no hostility between these two gentlemen." So...itll be okay. ??The boy''s voice is still very young, but it has a touch of firmness and a kind of silent confidence. His serious demeanor was also slightly different from his previous innocent look. From him, George somehow seemed to see the shadow of the man in charge of the entire kingdom, and he couldn''t help but sigh secretly in his heart. Your Highness, you have grown up after all. George retreated, guarding behind Edward like a shadow, but no longer interfered with Edward''s judgment and actions. Thank you, Uncle George. After thanking him gently and politely, Edward turned to look at Shane: "Reintroduce yourself." I am Edward Phoenix, and I am also the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin. The reason why you recognize me is probably because you have seen my portrait in China. Yan Yan: ?Shaan: Although Edward''s words were very magnanimous, they perfectly reflected the style of a prince. ??But both Xia En and Yan Yan knew clearly that they thought Edward looked familiar, and it definitely had nothing to do with the identity of the other prince. Edward obviously misunderstood! ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. He was also helpless. Why did he meet a prince just after traveling through time? ??Moreover, judging from the guarding attitude of George and his ranking as "Fifth Prince". ?The prince''s situation is obviously not very good! Maybe there will be assassins ready to kill you at any time! It may not be a good thing to get acquainted with such a prince. ?However, since Edward was so candid, Shane can''t blame him for this, right? At this time. ??A shout came from outside the Elf Temple. Who is trespassing in the temple? Tell me your name! ??The tone of the voice sounded a bit strange at first, but Xia En was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. This is Elvish! ?Shaan glanced at the panel and found that [Elvish Language (Proficient) (Temporary)] reappeared. It seems that as he travels back to the past, this skill is also freed from the constraints of this world. Beside him, Yan Yan and Edward also understood the question. As a prince in this era, mastering a few foreign languages ??is considered a required course. ?Edward frowned, instinctively feeling a little weird, but he still responded loudly in Elvish. We dont mean to offend, we are just taking shelter from the rain here. Hearing his voice, several elves walked in from outside the hall. ?Seeing these four people, the leader of the elf said sternly: "Who gave you the courage to enter and leave the elf temple at will?" Come here, arrest them! "Since tomorrow is the day when the Elf Queen ascends the throne, we won''t punish you severely. We will simply put you in confinement for half a day." Hearing this, Xia En also vaguely felt that something was wrong. ?The last time he passed through the Elven Temple of the Emerald Island, there was no rule of entry or exit. In fact, there were no guards in the previous temple, and anyone could freely see the statue of the goddess of life. According to Laila, this seems to be a special custom among the elves. After all, with the blessing of the goddess of life, it is impossible for outsiders to cause any damage to this temple. There are no other valuable things in the temple, so even if you want to steal anything, it is unrealistic. So, in Shanes opinion. The appearance of this group of elves at the moment is a bit too coincidental. ?Xia En looked at the elves'' costumes and became more and more suspicious. Suddenly, he remembered the [Eye of True Seeing] that Xian Ge had used before. At this time, now that I have mastered the Elvish language again, can I use this skill? Thinking of this, Xia En did not hesitate and secretly recited the spell that Xian Ge had recited. Soon, dark golden runes rotated in his eyes. He also saw clearly the true face of these elves... The other side. Neither Edward nor George thought of resisting these elves. The reason is simple. ?This is the country of elves! It is a very unwise choice to have a conflict with the elves here. Not to mention, if you have to do the math, they were indeed at fault in this matter. I broke into someone elses temple to take shelter from the rain, and I happened to be hit. I should be punished. ?And half a day of confinement is not a serious punishment, it will be over after a while. ?With this idea of ??calming the situation, George did not pull out his long sword and allowed the elves to approach him. This weapon has been confiscated first, is that okay? An elf said calmly. ??Although George was unwilling, he did not dare to go against the elf, so he had to acquiesce to the other party to take away his weapons. Just as the elf''s palm gradually approached the hilt of the sword. Xia En, who was behind him, suddenly shouted: "Yan Yan, take action!" Yan Yan had complete trust in Xia En and punched the nearest elf without hesitation. ?The flames directly wrapped around the opponent''s body. George couldn''t help but was stunned. ??Are you guys so crazy? ! How dare you attack the elves in [City of Giant Woods]? Soon, the elf next to him seemed to realize that the situation had changed. He stretched out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed George straight into the heart! ?This sting made George realize that it was strange. ??The way the opponent holds the dagger is not at all like the fighting skills of the normal elves, but more like the killers he has come into contact with many times. Thats not right! They are not elves! ?George woke up immediately, roared angrily, turned sideways, and narrowly avoided the fatal blow. But the dagger still made a deep wound on his waist and abdomen. ?George pulled out his long sword and chopped off the head of the man in front of him with one blow. When the man''s head rolled to the ground, his skin color suddenly turned light gray. The appearance of the whole person has also undergone subtle changes, his temperament has become cold, and his pupils have turned into a faint blue color. Dark Elf! George''s expression suddenly changed. ?Although this race has the word "elf" in it, in essence, they are two completely different races. It is said that in those ancient years, some elves betrayed the goddess of life and were expelled to the dark underground. ?In that difficult environment, these elven traitors not only did not die, but underwent transformations they had never imagined, and prayed to another underground god. From then on, a new group of elves were born. They gave themselves the name "Darkness" not only to commemorate the past history, but also to engrave the hatred between them and the elves. In some people, they are also called "drow", which means people who have returned from the darkness. ??It''s just that, compared to this incident and his own injuries, George was more concerned about the safety of His Royal Highness Edward. He turned his head and looked. ??I saw a figure wearing a black robe already standing in front of Edward. Several dark elves holding weapons bumped into him, as if they had hit an indestructible wall and flew out directly. T! At this moment, a dark elf lurking in the shadows suddenly appeared behind Xia En and stabbed him fiercely with the dagger in his hand... (End of this chapter) Chapter 247 [City of Giant Woods] in History Chapter 247 [City of Giant Trees] in History "careful" Edward only had time to utter an exclamation. ?The ghostly dark elf was already approaching Xia En. Just the next moment. Dang! ?In the astonished eyes of Edward, George, and many dark elves. ?The dagger that fell on Xia En, instead of cutting his flesh and blood and piercing his flesh, was blocked by a seemingly slender finger. The collision of flesh and blood produced the sound of gold and iron clashing. Immediately, the dagger deformed and twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally broke into pieces! ?This guy''s body is so strong! ? Poor disguise. After giving such an evaluation, Xia En took a step forward, the shadow condensed into a blade, and directly cut the assassin''s throat. There was a "chi" sound, and blood splattered everywhere. ??If the dark elf had used other methods, Shane might have suffered a small loss. But he used an ability similar to [Shadow Walking]! ?After using [Twilight Black Pearl] to unlock the skill of [Great Dark Sky], Xia En completely understood the [Book of Shadows] and gained a profound knowledge of the power of shadows. So, the moment the assassin''s ability was activated, Xia En was aware of it and defeated it directly with his powerful body. Impossible, this power He is also favored by the shadow! ??However, what Xia En didn''t expect was that the moment he used the Shadow Blade. ??The remaining dark elves suddenly changed their expressions and looked at him with fear and disbelief. Even with a hint of awe. In fact, the **** that the dark elves worship is none other than the shadow **** of the Underdark. ?At the moment, Xia En has shown a mastery of shadow control that is better than theirs, which inevitably makes these people feel confused. ?However, with Xia En and Yan Yan taking action, the overall situation has actually been decided. ??The combat power of this group of assassins is not very strong, generally only around the fourth level. Otherwise, there is no need to use disguises to make George and others relax their vigilance. George quickly joined the battle after the initial surprise and killed several assassins one after another. The fighting prowess of the fifth-level swordsman is fully demonstrated. What surprised Xia En. ?Although these dark elves already know that their actions have been exposed, judging from the comparison of combat power, they are bound to lose. But no one surrendered, but all chose to fight to the end. Even worse, some committed suicide by taking poison when they were about to be captured, leaving no one alive in the end. They are... dead soldiers? ?Xia En looked at the corpses on the ground, touched his chin and thought. ??Death warriors, as the name suggests, are warriors trained by certain forces to perform missions that require death. He and Yan Yan had just arrived and had not had time to provoke such a big force. Obviously, it was Edward, the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin, who attracted these assassins. At this time, Edward had just treated George''s wounds briefly, and after making sure that his body was fine, he immediately saluted Xia En solemnly. Thank you both for your help. This attack was directed at me, and Im really sorry that it implicated you two. ?Xia En waved his hand and said casually: "It''s just a small matter." They want to kill us, we have to protect ourselves, right? But, who are these dark elves? How come they appear in [City of Giant Woods]? ?Shane stepped forward just now and blocked the assassin''s sneak attack, which was equivalent to saving Edward''s life. Towards his savior, Edward''s attitude was more respectful and he knew everything he knew. They should come from the [Shadow Killing Society] on the mainland. This is a killer organization with a good reputation. As for why you want to kill me Edward hesitated for a moment, but said: "One possibility is that my brothers and sisters did it." Another possibility is that they want to hinder the enthronement ceremony of the Elf Queen tomorrow? Maybe its both ?His tone was also a little uncertain. After all, these assassins committed suicide so decisively that it is difficult not to make people suspect that they had a larger conspiracy. The enthronement of the Elf Queen? ?Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. When he heard this word from the dark elf before, he felt a little strange. ?Isnt she the Elf Queen? When did another Elf Queen appear? And... ascend the throne? This means that this [city of giant trees] was previously without a king? Is it because something happened to the previous Elf Queen? ?During his last time travel, Shane got a rough understanding of the origins of the elves on the [Emerald Island] from Laila. ??The elves on that island are actually just a branch of the elves. In order to avoid disasters, they moved to the "Emerald Island" several times. Unexpectedly, I still couldnt avoid [Gods Wrath]. ??And will other elven cities encounter similar disasters? Seeing that Xia En was deep in thought, Edward continued to explain. There is an irresolvable hatred between the dark elves and the elves. And I am just a prince. If I die in the elves territory, the Kingdom of Turin will definitely not be in peace. Especially at the time of Her Majestys accession to the throne. ?Shaan nodded, feeling that Edward''s guess was reasonable. ?However, he was not that interested in the love and hatred between the two races, so he asked instead. What is the origin of this new elf queen? ?Edward thought: "Actually, I don''t know much about her. I only know that she is an elf who has just emerged recently and has extraordinary talents." "Accepted by the Elf Mother Tree, the Goddess of Life and a group of elders, and was finally elected as the Queen of [City of Giant Trees]." ?Xia En was secretly stunned. The approval of the Elf Mother Tree and the Goddess of Life is not light at all. No wonder she is qualified to become the Queen of Elf. ??Xia En also wanted to ask if there were any signs of any strange events in the City of Giant Trees. But at this moment, a group of elves broke in at the gate of the temple. Seeing the scene in the temple, the elves couldn''t help but frown. ??The originally sacred and quiet temple was littered with several corpses, and the dirty blood stained the sanctity of the place. ?However, after seeing the identity of the dead dark elf, the hostility on the faces of the elves dissipated a lot. Xia En glanced at them with the [Eye of True Sight], and after confirming that they were all genuine elves, he took the initiative to explain. This is what happened Not long. ?The rain outside the temple stopped unconsciously. ??The elves simply took Xia En and others out of the temple. They believed Xia En''s words easily. After all, the dark elves have always had enmity with them, and it is normal for them to want to do some tricks before the queen ascends the throne. Xia En and others were attacked on their own territory, and the elves were a little apologetic. "We will catch the mastermind behind this incident as soon as possible and give you justice." The headed elf promised seriously. Immediately, he looked at one of his subordinates behind him: "Kou Kou, take them to the Holy Court to rest." Yes! Captain! The person who answered was a young elf girl, wearing emerald green and silver armor, with a ponytail on the back of her head, and she had a rather heroic temperament. Soon, other elves started busy in the temple. It is not only to clean up the dirty blood stains, but also to search for clues. ?However, this has nothing to do with Shane. Everyone, please follow me. ?Following Kou Kous footsteps, a group of people walked through the forest. ??Taking this opportunity, Xia En also took a good look at the [City of Giant Woods] that had not yet been submerged by the sea. As the name of this city goes, the trees in the nearby forest are extremely huge. They are comparable to the trees on the island where the Cyclops was. Its just that, at the beginning, the trees on that island were tall because they were infected by the blood of giants. The height of this forest is entirely due to its extremely strong vitality. Just walking in it will give you a feeling of relaxation and joy, and your steps will become lighter. ??Moreover, although these trees are tall, they do not give people a depressing feeling. Sometimes when I look up, I can still see the blue and clear sky. Because it had just rained, there was a moist earthy smell in the air, which made it even more fresh and pleasant. ?Shaan also noticed that some strange tree houses were built on the branches of the giant trees. The reason why they are called "peculiar" is because the materials of these trees are clear and traditional, which are ordinary vines and branches. But the architectural style is very novel and advanced. It seems to combine the advantages of many buildings and form its own style. Noticing Xia En''s gaze, Kou Kou explained. Those tree houses and the houses in the Holy Court were all designed by Her Majesty the Queen herself! Not only has it become more stable, but it has also become more comfortable to live in. The key is...it looks much better than the old-fashioned wooden house before! Her tone was filled with a touch of pride, and she obviously had great respect for the queen who had not yet ascended the throne. ?Xia En was also a little surprised. The queen of the elves, and also has a talent for civil engineering? ????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?This kind of skill is indeed relatively rare for a queen. Edward on the side had a strange expression: "So that queen still has this kind of hobby..." Koko glanced at him and said, "Her Majesty the Queen knows a lot!" Architecture is just one aspect, clothing, magic patterns, alchemy... Her Majesty the Queen is proficient in them all! She can manage the [City of Giant Woods] in such an orderly manner that no one can find fault. Hearing this, Xia En was even more surprised. ?From Kou Kou''s words, it is not difficult to tell that the queen seems to be an all-round talent. ??Not only can you upgrade the technology tree, but you can also fully upgrade your management abilities? But, does such a perfect person really exist? The little girl is right. ?At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from beside everyone. ?Xia En turned his head and looked a little strange. The person who spoke was a big tree next to him. Dashu opened his deep eyes and said with emotion: "If there is anyone who can lead the elves to greatness again, it is probably the queen who is about to ascend the throne." Good guy, you were eavesdropping just now, right? ?Xia En couldn''t help but complain. This is a tall tree man who seems to be in his prime, exuding strong vitality. To be honest, this is the first time that Xia En has seen a normal tree man. ?The fresh breath and green branches and leaves are very different from the tree people on the bottom of the sea in later generations. Yes, that little guy is indeed a genius. Suddenly, another tree man''s voice came from the side. When they are rooted and motionless, they are completely part of the forest and cannot be distinguished from each other. ?Xia En looked into the distance of the forest and sensed several similar auras. He felt a little horrified. How many tree people are hidden in such a large forest? ??And every tree man is a natural siege machine... ??When they all wake up, this forest will become an army capable of sweeping across most human kingdoms! ?Xia En vaguely guessed the reason why this meeting of nations was held. ??This is because the elves used the Queen''s accession to the throne to show their strength to the various kingdoms on the continent. ??It is also a manifestation of the human kingdom''s initiative to show goodwill to the elves. When one person ascends the throne, all nations come to court! I have to say that in this era, the elves still have the status of world hegemon. ?This also made Xia En more and more curious. ??What kind of person would the queen of such a powerful race be? ?Through the words of Kou Kou and the tree people, Xia En gradually formed an image of an omnipotent, loved, generous and benevolent queen in his mind. It didnt take long. ??Xia En and his party followed Kou Kou to what they called the "Holy Courtyard." It is said to be a "holy court", but it is actually a city located in the core of the forest. As mentioned before, the [City of Giant Trees] covers an extremely vast area, and in the center of the entire forest is a giant tree that is so huge that it is indescribable. The moment Xia En saw this giant tree, he couldn''t help but be stunned. Because it was the same as the giant tree he saw at the bottom of the sea. ?Xia Ens first thought was that this was the true form of the [Giant Wood God]. ?But after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the huge sarcoma heart was the real [Giant Wood God]! This giant tree should be the object of its mimicry and disguise The mother tree of the elves! Sha En also saw an Elf Mother Tree on the Emerald Island. But compared with the giant tree in front of me, that tree can be described as "petite and exquisite". ? Anyone who sees this giant tree for the first time will be sincerely shocked. Under the shade of giant trees, there is a city where conservatism and innovation coexist. ??There are elven archers from the old era, old wooden houses, mages holding staffs, adventurers carrying big swords, steaming locomotives, and novel magic pattern equipment... People from every kingdom of the world walked through the streets, speaking a variety of languages ??and wearing a variety of styles of clothing. gives people a feeling of both contradiction and harmony. ??If Sean were asked to describe the city in front of him, it would probably be - It was the best of times, it was also the worst of times. This city has reached a fork in the road of the times. Heaven or hell, its just a matter of a thought. (End of this chapter) Chapter 248 King Xin’s past Chapter 248 King Xins Past ??For this [City of Giant Trees] that only existed in the past, Xia En only felt that it was novel and unfamiliar. ?Some things in the city bear the prototype of emerging technologies, but they have not yet broken away from the framework of the old era, and they look a bit nondescript. But this is enough to explain... The technology of [City of Giant Woods] has taken a big step forward. ?However, what surprised Xia En the most was the vibrant vitality in this city! The elves all had a look of pride and confidence on their faces, and they walked with long strides and their heads held high. In the eyes of foreign tourists, there is a faint mood of pilgrimage. Even the lowest elf civilians will smile proudly when they look up and see the elf mother tree. Its like, everyone thinks that everything will develop in a good direction. To be more specific, this may be the so-called "cultural self-confidence" and "racial self-confidence." And the elves do have something to be confident about. They are born with the wonderful language of Elvish. They have a long lifespan and are generally beautiful in appearance. They can be called the darlings of God. ??Furthermore, despite being very advanced and powerful, the elves not only did not rest on their laurels, but instead communicated with other races and kingdoms to learn their emerging technologies. This is very valuable. In history, it is never the case that an empire continues to be conservative after becoming strong, and then declines and decays. The Holy Court is a beautiful city, right? Looking at the admiration on the faces of several people, Elf Kokos pretty face was full of pride and she sighed. Actually, the Holy Court was not like this a few years ago. It was after Her Majesty the Queen came to this city that earth-shaking changes took place here. Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised. That Her Majesty the Queen, isnt she an aborigine of the [City of Giant Woods]? ?Eternal species like elves should be relatively exclusive. But an outsider succeeded in becoming the queen of this country, which undoubtedly added a bit of legend. ?Xia En was interested in asking for some more information from Kou Kou. But at this time, Koko pointed to an area not far away and said: "That is the temporary residence area for tourists from the Kingdom of Turin." "I still have patrol duties, so you can just walk there by yourself." The current layout of [City of Giant Trees] is actually a bit similar to the Olympic Village on Earth. Gather the envoys from various kingdoms in one area to facilitate unified management. ?Edward looked at Xia En and asked: "Gentlemen, don''t you have a place to stay temporarily?" I just booked a few rooms in advance. If you dont mind, why not stay at my place? Its a good idea for me to express my gratitude. ??Xia En is indeed unfamiliar with the current [City of Giant Trees], so it would be nice to have an acquaintance to take care of each other. Otherwise, just the identity issue would make the two of them miserable. Xia En did not refuse, nodded and said: "Then I''ll trouble you." Under Edward''s guidance, the group soon officially entered the city. ?Stepping into it in person, Xia Encai more truly realized the excitement and prosperity of the city. Probably because the Congress of All Nations is about to be held, and there are a large number of other races in the [City of Giant Trees]. Demi-humans, elves, dwarves, half-dragons... all kinds of races are mixed together, with a strong alien flavor, like a pot of hodgepodge. The sounds of cars and passers-by pass through the streets, bringing fresh vitality and vitality. ?Something that you have to say. The current [City of Giant Trees] is somewhat similar to the situation when the [Blood Moon Night] was approaching on [Silver Moon Island]. A rare event that has been held for decades, attracting countless foreign tourists. ?Its just that the excitement, influence, and scale of the Conference of All Nations at this time are far greater than that of the original [Silver Moon Island]. I just dont know, is Laila in [City of Giant Woods] now? ?Xia Ens eyes scanned the crowd, thinking in his mind. He is obsessed with traveling back in time. On the one hand, he wants to understand the reason for this crossing of time and space. The other obsession is naturally the elf girl Laila. ?This is not because of any feelings between men and women. Shane and Laila only spent less than a day together, so it was obviously unrealistic to talk about the relationship between a man and a woman. But Laila did make a deep impression on him. Coupled with the original agreement, Xia En inevitably wanted to know her current situation and wanted to see her again. That''s why Xia En observed the pedestrians around him and wanted to try his luck. After all, now, he has no other good way to find the other party quickly. ?However, [City of Giant Woods] is so big, this method of searching is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack. Edward beside him obviously misunderstood Shane''s intentions and enthusiastically introduced him to envoys from different kingdoms. The group of people over there wearing blue pointed hats are from the Blue Eagle Kingdom. They are several countries away from our Kingdom of Turin, and they are good allies. ??The citizens of the Blue Eagle Kingdom generally have high nose bridges, blue pupils, and distinctive blue pointed hats. ??As for Xia En and others, they did not dodge their gazes. Instead, they smiled and waved to the group in a polite manner. Soon, Xia En also saw some pedestrians with black hair and black eyes. It is somewhat similar to the Chinese people in previous lives. ?Edward explained: "That''s from the Soviet Union." It is said that they are on a continent further east and their country is very powerful. But the Su Kingdom is separated from our kingdom by a vast ocean, and we know very little about them. Some bards say that the continent is filled with gold and diamonds, and even the air is sweet! ?Xia Ens mouth twitched slightly. ?This was the first time he knew that there was such a country in the world. After the Great Flood, various human races mixed with each other and their bloodlines continued to blend. In fact, the characteristics of the East and the West were intertwined, showing a state of me among you and you among me. ?Taking Fei Ya as an example, he also has black hair and black eyes, but his facial features are more like a Western face. Subsequently, Edward introduced several kingdoms to Shane one after another, which gave him a lot of knowledge. Having a more realistic understanding of the various situations of kingdoms in this era. Suddenly, Xia En saw a group of people walking across the street surrounded by a five or six-year-old daughter. Judging from the girl''s gorgeous and exquisite clothes, she probably has a distinguished status. ?However, what Xia En really cares about is not this. Rather, their team had a unique flag with a pattern he had seen many times before. Thats Edward looked in the direction of Xia En''s eyes and said uncertainly. That seems to be the envoy from the Kingdom of Shoton, right? That little girl should be the youngest daughter of King Shoton, and she has always been favored. Speaking of this, Edward seemed to think of his own experience, and his eyes couldn''t help but look a little envious. The daughter of King Shoton ?Xia En frowned suddenly. He still remembered that when he defeated the Shuton Kingdom, a girl''s face appeared on the opponent''s chest. Could it be that this little girl is the princess who merges with the king? Aware of this, Xia En suddenly felt horrified. If this is the case, judging from the age of the princess, there must be only about ten years left before the great flood comes! ? Calm downcalm down ?Xia En took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. This may not be the case. ?Perhaps several generations of King Shuton had a little daughter? There is no evidence to prove that this girl is the princess he met. ?Furthermore, Xia En was helpless to find out... Even if this is indeed the case, what can I do? ??Although he has a feeling that his time traveling this time may be longer than the last time. But can you prevent the great flood by yourself? The coming of the Great Flood has become an established fact. The only thing Xia En can do seems to be to remind the kingdoms participating in the conference to prepare as soon as possible. Even though, this kind of unfounded prediction will probably be regarded as crazy talk. Xia Enchang exhaled a breath of thick air. ?Looking at the scene of blooming flowers in front of him, he no longer felt the admiration he had just felt. What was left was only an unbreakable heaviness. ?Edward was keenly aware of Xia En''s change in mood, but didn''t know the reason behind it, so he asked carefully. Mr. Shane, do you have any grudge against the Kingdom of Southton? Xia En smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No." If I have to say it, its because the Kingdom of Shuton is kind to me. ??The initial trip to the Coral City allowed Xia En to accumulate some initial capital, which was regarded as the starting point for his official rise. ?Edward became more and more puzzled: "Then why are you?" ?Xia En shook his head and didn''t want to say anything more. At this time. Yan Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped and looked in one direction of the block. Huh? Yan Yan? Xia En turned around and looked. I saw a group of people in red and black robes and hoods walking towards their houses in that neighborhood. ?The number of people in that group was small, but their momentum was very impressive, giving people a vague sense of danger. ?Shane asked Edward in a low voice. are they? As a prince, Edward received aristocratic education since childhood and was well-read and knowledgeable. But when facing these mysterious robed men, he still thought for a moment before speaking. If Im not mistaken, they are [Black Flame Walkers] from the far north. The far north, [Black Flame Walker]? These two words instantly aroused Xia En''s interest. Especially when Yan Yan has a unique reaction to these people. I dont know much about [Black Flame Walker]. ?Edward continued: "Their status is equivalent to the [Knights of the Round Table] in the Kingdom of Turin. They are the most trusted and loyal subordinates of the king." And the person [Black Flame Walker] is loyal to is a king named Xin. Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. Salary? Salary King! ? In other words, [Black Flame Walker] is King Xins subordinate? ?However, in this era, King Xin''s reputation had not yet reached the world-famous level that it would be in later generations. So Edward''s tone was not so sure. This salaryman became famous at a young age. He is famous in his original country for his mysterious and powerful fire control ability. "He has strength and ambition. He originally wanted to climb to the highest position in his country step by step." But in the end, he failed in his efforts and was eventually expelled from his original country and exiled to the bitter cold land of the far north. ?Edward changed the subject and added: "However, Xin did not recover from this. Instead, it gathered a group of local residents in the far north." Together with the exiled prisoners, he established a new country and named it Dayan. After that, Xin continued to expand his territory and conquer the common people. Now, Dayan has become one of the most powerful countries in the world. Speaking later, Edward was obviously full of envy and admiration. Such legendary deeds are indeed enough to make young people fascinated. ??Xia En also learned for the first time that King Xin had such a past, and couldn''t help but marvel. But soon he thought of another thing Since [Black Flame Walker] has come to [City of Giant Trees], does it also mean that King Xin is also in this city at this time? ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but beat fast. He has already met Augustine several times and seen the style of the pirate king. It is inevitable to be curious about this salary king who is as famous as Augustine. Not to mention, Xia En came into contact with [Xinwang Treasure] several times. ?However, Edward immediately poured cold water on him. There is a high probability that King Xin will not participate in this conference of nations. He has been at war with his neighboring countries recently, so he only sent these [Black Flame Walkers], right? Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little regretful. ? He ??glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that Yan Yan was still staring at the back of [Black Flame Walker], and he immediately put away the distracting thoughts in his mind. ?It is known that Yan Yan is suspected to have some deep connection with King Xin. ?Then, it is only natural that he would recognize these [Black Flame Walkers]. Xia En came to Yan Yan and whispered: "Why don''t you go talk to them, maybe... you can get back some of your past memories?" After thinking for a long time, Yan Yan took a step forward, but then stepped back. Inexplicably, he had mixed emotions towards those people in red and black robes. I feel nostalgic and close at the same time, but also feel guilt and fear. This is the reason for his hesitation. Yan Yan suspected that if he took this step, he might never be able to look back. ?That sense of fear finally made him suppress the impulse in his heart. Yan Yan shook his head at Xia En: "Captain, let''s go for a walk." Seeing this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him. It didnt take long. ?The group of people came to a tall and gorgeous tree house. ?This building obviously blends the styles of elves and other races, and has a unique harmonious beauty. ??There are two beautiful elf ladies standing at the door, which is a pleasure to look at. Xia En was quite satisfied with what he saw. But at this time, Edward whispered: "Mr. Shane, it''s not here, it''s over here..." ?Shaan turned his head. Opposite the tall tree house, there was a low and shabby wooden house. With a "squeak" sound, the beam above the wooden house tilted and almost fell down. ?Shaan: (End of this chapter) Chapter 249 Goodbye Leila! (Please subscribe!) Chapter 249 Goodbye Laila! (Please subscribe!) No, bro Looking at this low and dilapidated wooden house, Xia En almost blurted out a comment. ?But when he thought about it, he realized that Edward''s situation in the Kingdom of Turin might not be that good. The previous assassination was only one aspect. More importantly, as a prince, Edward only had a fifth-level bodyguard named George. This is enough to explain the predicament of his situation. Thinking about it, renting this small wooden house in [City of Giant Woods] has already brought a lot of burden to Edward. Aware of this, Xia En immediately adjusted his mood and spoke openly. I think this place is not bad, Yan Yan, lets go. Edward was quite embarrassed and guilty because of the shabby residence. But seeing Xia En''s indifferent attitude, I naturally knew that he was trying to save face for himself, and I couldn''t help but feel a little moved. In fact, Edward''s situation was worse than Shane expected. ?Although he is the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin, he is also the least respected prince. The reason is simple. ?Edward was not the child born to the queen or princess of the Kingdom of Turin, but the son of an ordinary village woman. In other words, he is actually the king''s illegitimate son. In the Kingdom of Turin, which adheres to the spirit of chivalry, illegitimate children are dishonorable to the entire family and will bring chaos and stain to the entire family. ???It would be better if the King of Turin did not accept Edward as his son and only showed concern for him secretly. ?Edward may have grown up safely, eventually becoming a farmer and a wealthy man, and spending his later years in seclusion. But maybe its because of the so-called love, or maybe its just a moment of enthusiasm. The King of Turin chose the worst possible path ??He took Edward back to the palace with great fanfare, gave him the surname "Phoenix", and officially made him the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin. ?Such an absurd behavior naturally caused an uproar in the Kingdom of Turin. But the king went his own way and suppressed all objections. No matter how angry the people of the Kingdom of Turin were, they did not dare to openly resist the king. ?So, their target was pointed at the innocent Edward. A lowly illegitimate son became the prince of the kingdom and obtained the right of inheritance. Of course, many people would be dissatisfied. ?This is the fundamental reason for Edward''s miserable situation. ??He came to the [City of Giant Trees] to attend the Conference of All Nations this time, with the idea of ????avoiding the fierce public opinion in the country. It''s just that Edward didn''t expect... ?He wants to avoid trouble, but trouble always comes to him. Just like this time. ?Edward was about to lead Xia En into the wooden house to rest, but an unfriendly voice came from behind him. Isnt this our fifth prince, His Highness Edward? The person who spoke was a little fat man who was also wearing fine clothes and had chubby cheeks. He seemed to be a few years younger than Edward. At first glance, he looks like a pampered aristocrat. George recognized his identity, frowned slightly, and whispered to Xia En and the others: "This is the youngest son of the Prime Minister''s family, Ximei." I will not deal with His Highness Edward in the kingdom. ?Ximei glanced at the low wooden house behind Edward and couldn''t help but sneer. Hmph, you are indeed the child of a prostitute. The style of this house really complements yours! As for Edward''s mother, people in the Kingdom of Turin are always willing to speculate and comment with the greatest malice. This also caused her to be unable to bear the pressure and finally chose to commit suicide. In Edward''s mind, his mother has always been his biggest enemy! Hearing this, Edward immediately frowned, with dark anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "My mother is not a prostitute!" Ximei, I think you have insulted the honor of the royal family. You must apologize to me! ?Ximei was stunned for a moment, feeling a little panicked. He did not expect Edward to have such a big reaction and behave so strongly. Normally, Edward usually just tolerates this kind of cynicism silently, causing Sime to mistakenly think that he is very weak and timid. So, Edward''s sudden counterattack now exceeded Simei''s expectation. ?However, in front of everyone, Ximei certainly didn''t want to apologize so easily, so she said harshly. Im just stating the facts. Do I have to be punished for telling the truth? "oh?" A coldness flashed in Edward''s eyes and he asked: "In other words, do you think that the current King of Turin, my father, will be a man who gave birth to a child with a prostitute?" ?Hearing this question, Ximei was shaken all over and turned pale. He finally realized that he had made a serious mistake. It is of course okay to belittle and ridicule Edward and his mother. After all, being an illegitimate child is destined to bring about blank looks and criticism. ??But if the King of Turin is involved, the problem will be serious! No matter what, he is the king of a country. If you dare to speak ill of him in public, do you still want to hang out in the kingdom in the future? ?Besides, Shane also noticed the subtlety of Edward''s words and couldn''t help but give him a high look. ??Although this fifth prince looks weak, he is obviously capable and scheming. There is also a possibility that this weak and bully appearance is just a disguise for him! Sure enough, no one who can be a prince is simple. Xia En sighed in his heart. But what does this have to do with me? ?? He traveled back to this era not to help any prince win the throne, and he was not very interested in the love and hatred within the Kingdom of Turin. At the end of the day. ??If it is true as Shane guessed, the Great Flood was only about ten years away from this era. The so-called princes and kings will only become waves in the flood. At this time, the argument between Edward and Sime attracted the attention of other passers-by on the street. The group of [Black Flame Walkers] who were about to enter the gate also set their sights in this direction. Huh? ?One of the petite men in black robes cast his eyes on Xia En, who was also wearing robes, and couldn''t help but let out a sigh. Irina, whats wrong? Beside her, Sergey, who was as strong as a brown bear, asked in an angry voice. As residents of the Far North, their language pronunciation is somewhat different from that of mainland lingua franca. Irina stared at Yan Yan in the crowd and whispered. Look at the man in black robe, does he look a bit like the king? Sergei glanced in that direction and couldn''t help but laugh: "He is wearing a robe. How do you see that he looks like the king?" Irina defended: "It''s the figure! The figure!" ? Sergey still disagreed and said carelessly: "There are many people with similar figures in the world." Besides, the king is still fighting **** battles in the north. How could he come to such a boring meeting? Black Flame Walkeris the elite of the Great Yan Kingdom. He is used to the ascetic life and is a natural fighting maniac. Happily, I feel a little contempt for the exquisite and comfortable atmosphere of the elves. Thats true ? Irina had to admit that Sergey had a point. But she always felt that the man in black robe was not only similar in stature to Wang, but also had a very unique and familiar temperament. At this time in the field. Edward insisted on an apology from Sime. ??But Ximei refused to bow her head because of her face, nor did she admit that she had any disrespect towards the king. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate. Suddenly, a young man dressed in unusual clothes spoke. Edward, thats pretty much it. ?Seeing this young man, the crowd burst into a small uproar. Its His Royal Highness the Second Prince Carlo! I didnt expect that he would also come to attend the Conference of All Nations! "Actually, I heard that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the core figure of the mission and can make decisions on behalf of the King. The rest are just incidental." ?Different from the notorious and embarrassing Edward, the second prince Carlo received a lot of attention as soon as he appeared on the scene. ?This second prince is a strong contender for the throne and has made considerable achievements several times. The reputation has been raised very high. ?At the moment, after hearing Carlo''s words of persuasion, Edward''s face suddenly became a little ugly. But he still gritted his teeth and said, "That''s enough, Ximei has to apologize first!" Ximei received Carlo''s support, her eyes immediately brightened, and she spoke confidently. I said nothing wrong, why should I apologize? "you!" Just as Edward was about to speak, another girl of a similar grade in the crowd scolded him coldly. "That''s enough, Edward, how long are you going to let outsiders watch this farce?" ?This woman''s status is also unusual. She is the fourth princess of the Kingdom of Turin and has always been on good terms with the Prime Minister''s family. When he spoke at this time, he was obviously blatantly favoring Ximei. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the second prince and the fourth princess working together to put pressure on Edward. The meaning of rejection and disgust is very obvious. ?There is no way, who told him to be an illegitimate child? ?Edward clenched his fists tightly, a look of humiliation on his face. ??He had long known that his brother and sister didn''t like him, but now, the scene where the two of them were helping outsiders to speak still made him feel chilled. ?Ximei saw that the situation had reversed, and her arrogance suddenly became more and more arrogant. ?The two of them, Xia En, who were wearing black robes and looked particularly suspicious, quickly became the target of his attack. Your Highness Edward, why do you hang out with these sneaky and suspicious people all day long? What if there is an assassin mixed in? ?Ximei said with utmost sarcasm: "Oh, I know." Birds of a feather flock together, and people divide into groups. Your Highness is the son of a prostitute, so he naturally likes to hang out with these despicable people. ?Xia En frowned slightly. ?He was originally too lazy to meddle in such nosy matters, but now that the other party was pointing at him and scolding him, naturally he could no longer stay out of it. Just when Xia En was about to teach the little fat man a lesson, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd not far away. Whats going on? Second Prince Carlo looked back. Soon, some enthusiastic people responded: "It is Her Majesty the Queen''s car!" The Queen is here! Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited. Having been in [City of Giant Woods] for so long, they have heard the deeds of this queen candidate many times from the elves. But this is the first time to see each other in person! Although that person has not yet been officially crowned, people are already accustomed to calling her "Her Majesty the Queen." From this we can also see the prestige of this elf. Carlo, who had always maintained a calm and calm attitude before, couldn''t help but look solemn, straightened his clothes, and looked solemnly in the direction of the sound. Want to leave a good impression on the Elf Queen. ??The Kingdom of Turin is also a well-known power on the mainland. But in this era, the most powerful one is still the elven kingdom that masters advanced technology and magic! It is natural that the Elf Queen is also one of the most powerful people in the world. ?The fourth princess who was making things difficult for Edward looked over with expectation and admiration. As a woman, the Elf Queen is like a role model to her. In the blink of an eye. ?People''s attention was completely attracted by the Elf Queen, while Edward and Simei, who were previously in the spotlight, became uninterested. ?Edward sighed, with a complicated expression, envious and bitter at the same time. Like everyone else, Xia En also looked in the direction from which the Queen''s Seat driver came. soon. A steam locomotive, which was steaming and made up of pipes, levers and gears, slowly drove into everyone''s sight. ?Xia Ens expression couldnt help but be a little strange. Although it is a steam locomotive, its shape is very similar to the previous carriages. The carriage is closed and there are windows on both sides. The exterior of the vehicle has a large number of exquisite and gorgeous decorations, and there are several elf attendants following on both sides of the motorcycle. ?Looks like the painting style is quite mixed. ?However, the ostentation is still very luxurious. Some people couldn''t help but feel a little disappointed because they couldn''t see the Elf Queen. But at this moment. ??A gentle voice came from inside the carriage. What happened here? Obviously, the previous dispute here was the reason for the Queen''s approach. ?Ximei panicked and explained: "It''s just a small dispute." There is nothing for Her Majesty to worry about. He is also a smart man and knows that if things get too big, it will not be of any benefit to himself or the Kingdom of Turin. Furthermore, even the second prince and fourth princess could not protect themselves in front of the Elf Queen. "Really? Why did I hear that some people called our guests in [City of Giant Woods] dirty people?" As he spoke, the people in the car gently opened the curtains and looked out. ??Everyone held their breath and stared at the windows nervously, fearing that they would miss the true appearance of the Elf Queen. After the curtains were opened, people fell into a daze. The person in the car has a breathtaking beauty, and his facial features are like the most perfect creation of God. ?She is so beautiful, with her platinum-blond waist-length hair hanging naturally, shining in the light, reminiscent of the cool moonlight at night. ?Even if only half of the face is exposed, countless people are fascinated and fascinated. This is the queen of the elves! With such stunning beauty, its no wonder she rarely appears in the city. ?At this moment, many people had the idea that the trip was worthwhile. Soon, people were shocked to find that the Queen''s gaze stopped in one direction for a long time. And, gradually Her eyes had accumulated hazy mist, like pearls covered with dust. People cant help but feel pity. Who on earth could make such a woman heartbroken? But in the next moment. The Queen suddenly smiled. It was a surprise and pure smile, which was more beautiful than a thousand flowers in full bloom. This impact, which ranged from sadness to surprise, made people lose the ability to speak for a while. Suddenly, in the disbelief eyes of everyone. The Queen opened the car door and ran in one direction like a girl. Without any hesitation or hesitation. Finally, she hugged a figure wearing a black robe tightly and whispered. "haven''t seen you for a long time." Shane: Long time no see, Laila. (End of this chapter) Chapter 250 "Can you touch me more?" Chapter 250 Can you touch me more? No one present could have imagined that the situation would take such a turn. ?Especially the princes and princesses of the Kingdom of Turin, all of them opened their eyes wide and looked at this scene in disbelief. They are the people with the highest status here, and they are also the focus of people''s attention. In their opinion, for the sake of the Kingdom of Turin, they are the most likely person to communicate with the Elf Queen. But at this time, the Elf Queen did not say a word to them at all, but directly embraced an unidentified man in black robes! ? Furthermore, judging from her demeanor, it was obvious that the other person was an extremely important person to her. This is the first time I have seen the Queen show such an expression... Who is that man in black robe? He and Edward seem to have a close relationship? ?Seeing more and more eyes coming from all around, the voices of discussion became louder and louder. The Elf Queen, or Laila, smiled slightly and said to Shane. Ill take you to a good place. The next moment. A magnificent magic circle was generated at the feet of the two of them. Soon, the two figures disappeared in front of everyone. Her Majesty the Queen?! The faces of the elf guards beside the steam locomotive suddenly became a little ugly. Their beloved Queen, actually ran away with someone else like this? Tomorrow is the day when he officially ascends the throne! What should we do if something unexpected happens? Fortunately, at this moment, a head maid who had known Laila for many years said, "Don''t panic." I know where the Queen has gone. Besides, the Queen is absolutely safe in the [City of Giant Woods]. ?Hearing what the head maid said, the guard calmed down. The head maid looked at where Laila left, couldn''t help but shook her head, and muttered in her heart. "After so many years, this little girl has calmed down her temper. I didn''t expect her nature to be so out of control." "You are the only candidate for the queen. Can''t you summon her in private? But you have to do it in public..." After muttering, the head maid began to help her deal with the follow-up of this matter. In the crowd, the second prince glanced at Edward with a dark and unclear look. ??If the man in black robes is Edward''s companion, doesn''t it mean that Edward may be able to gain support from the elves? This is obviously not good news for him, who is also the heir. The person with the most exciting expression in the scene was Ximei, who had spoken so wildly before. ?No matter how stupid and reckless he is, he can still see that - ??The man in black robes who was also belittled by him obviously had a very close relationship with the Elf Queen. ??And if you offend the Elf Queen in [City of Giant Woods], no matter what the consequences will be, how can Ximei still guess? His face was pale, his body was trembling slightly, and he looked at Edward with difficulty. Like a drowning man who sees the last straw... The other side. After the teleportation circle was activated, Xia En''s eyes flashed. A dazzling ray of sunlight came into view. ??Xia En looked around and found that there was a blue sky above his head, and hazy clouds and mist were surrounding him. It was not as grand as the sky was high and the clouds were wide. Under his feet, there was a dense tree crown, and birds built nests among the branches. "here it is" We are now standing on the crown of the Elf Mother Tree. ?Laila said loudly from beside her, but her beautiful eyes fell on him intently. At this time, Xia En had time to take a closer look at Laila in front of him. Compared with the last time we met, Laila''s appearance and temperament have changed a lot. Her appearance has become much more mature. From a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, she became a young woman of about twenty years old. ?Far from reducing her charm, this is like a green fruit gradually maturing, adding to her charming charm. When he first met Laila, Shane was amazed by her beauty. At the moment, she has a truly stunning appearance. In terms of temperament, Laila has also changed from her previous innocence to a calm and tranquil one. ? And the gorgeous elf dress also gave her a hint of the majesty of a superior person. ??After careful sensing, the aura on Laila''s body was also extremely deep and powerful, at least level six and up, two levels higher than Xia En. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. Yes, now Laila is no longer the poor girl who was ostracized by her fellow tribesmen. ??But the Elf Queen who is about to be crowned emperor! The figure in the memory gradually overlapped with the woman in front of him. ?Shaan sighed softly: "Laila, you have changed a lot." Hearing this, Laila said quietly: "Do you know how long it has been since you and I were separated?" "how long?" One hundred years. ?Laila said softly: "A full hundred and five years!" Its a good thing that I am an immortal, otherwise I would have been too old to see anyone. Xia En was shocked. One hundred years! For ordinary people, this is already a longer time than a lifetime. Even if Laila is an immortal species like an elf, a hundred years cannot be considered short. No wonder Laila has changed so much. As soon as Xia En came up with such an idea, he heard Laila let out a long breath, unbuttoned the two buttons on her clothes, and lay down on the canopy of the tree without a ladylike image. I can relax for a while. You dont know that these clothes are tight, and you have to pay attention to maintaining the Queens appearance at all times. Just walking around the city can tire you out! ?Laila relaxed and stretched her body, and complained to Shane angrily: "If I had known it would be such a troublesome thing, I wouldn''t be a queen!" ?Xia En was slightly startled. ? He ??suddenly remembered that Laila was originally a free and carefree elf, and she was almost buried alive in her research room. At this moment, her impetuous girlish attitude showed a bit of the past. Make Shanton feel friendly and familiar. ?Perhaps, that calm look was a disguise she had to make, which was also a requirement of the Queen''s status. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Only in front of someone she truly trusts will she show such a lazy look. ?However, Xia En didn''t dare to look at it after two glances. ?Laila has not only matured in appearance, but also has a well-developed body. She is not comparable to the flat girl before. ?Looking down from a high position, your eyes are easily attracted by the white greasy collar. ??Xia En simply lay down next to Laila, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and asked softly. Why are you in this city? Since the [Wrath of God], I left the [Emerald Isle] and traveled around the mainland. On the one hand, I want to find you, and on the other hand, I want to find a solution to the elves crisis. ?Laila spoke calmly and slowly told what she had experienced in the past hundred years. I have been to many kingdoms and seen all kinds of people and all kinds of races. Finally, I realized that it was not enough for me to solve the disaster you told me about. Even the power of the entire elves is not enough! If you want to survive the world-destroying flood, you must gather the resources, strength and wisdom of all kingdoms and races in the world! ?Her tone has always been calm, but she also revealed firm determination. Thats why I came to the [City of Giant Woods] to become a candidate for the queen. And this Conference of All Nations was held under my impetus. Hearing these words, Xia En was moved again. Hundred years have finally allowed Laila to grow up a lot. ?These words alone are not something that ordinary people can say. Obviously, Lyra and the pirate king Augustine chose to take different paths. ?Augustine continues to improve his strength, trying to defeat [Husi Ming] with his personal power and expel him from this world. ?Layla, on the other hand, placed her hope in collective power and wanted to unite the intelligent races around the world to fight against the enemy. ??If it can really be done, Laila''s probability of success is obviously greater than Augustine''s. only It is almost impossible to unite the power of the entire world. There are naturally different conflicts between various kingdoms and races, either blood feuds or gaps between civilizations. ?Taking the elves as an example, even if they dont say it explicitly, deep down in their hearts they probably always have a sense of superiority over humans. ?Furthermore, even if Laila foretells the coming of the great flood to them. How many people will choose to believe it? Without any evidence, it is necessary to use the resources and citizens of other kingdoms, which will only be considered an act of aggression. Even if the elves are the most powerful race in the world, the result will not change. In the final analysis, human beings are creatures that put interests above all else. Once Laila does something that infringes on the interests of other kingdoms, it will naturally arouse public outrage. Because of this, Shane has a certain pessimism about Laila''s plan. Dont worry, Im not that naive. I want to bind other kingdoms to the elves through a conference of nations. ?Laila turned her head and winked slyly at Shane. I just want to establish a basis for cooperation among countries and form a relatively loose organization first. What do you think of the nameFederation? The union of city-states feels quite appropriate! Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. ?However, after thinking about it, he realized that the federation mentioned by Laila had nothing to do with the later Seven Seas Federation. It just happened to be a name. Xia En relaxed and said with a smile, "It''s true." But dont be too impatient about the establishment of the federation, otherwise it may be counterproductive. ?Shaan had realized that Laila would not change her decision, so he did not persuade her to give up, but hoped that she would not act too hastily. Otherwise, the elves would have been boycotted by other kingdoms before the great flood came. Im actually a little anxious. ?Suddenly, Laila half-sited up, hugged her knees with her hands, straightened her body, and murmured. After all, I dont know when those disasters will come. Is it possible that disaster will strike before we are ready? I dont dare to tell other people these secrets, for fear of shaking peoples hearts and attracting the attention of evil gods. ?Her voice was filled with deeply hidden uneasiness. Xia En felt more and more pity in his heart. At the end of the day, Laila is still just a girl according to the age of the elf. But she has to bear such a heavy secret, and no one can talk to her about it. You can imagine the pressure inside her. ?Xia En suddenly felt regretful. Would it have been better if he had not told Laila these secrets at the beginning? As if she saw what he was thinking, Laila shook her head and said seriously: "I have never regretted it." I am very lucky that I can meet you and know that disaster is approaching. Its much better than those tribesmen who were buried in [Gods wrath] without knowing anything. Speaking, Laila pushed aside the leaves around her and stared blankly below. This city is so beautiful. ?Xia En looked down and saw the entire "City of Giant Woods" through the sparse branches. Busty crowds, noisy voices, and fresh and real vitality flow in every corner of the city. From such a high place, overlooking the city below, there is a different kind of beauty. ?The lofty, filthy and corrupt external gods cannot appreciate the beauty of life, nor can they see the hope in people''s hearts. ?Laila smiled at Shane and said, "This is my city." These are my people. Her smile was filled with girlish pride. It was her efforts to transform the city into what it is now, and it was she who changed the elves'' conservative customs. She does have the right to be proud. For no reason, Xia En stretched out his hand, gently touched the top of Laila''s head, and praised her. Well, you did a good job. ?Think about it for a moment, if you were in Laila''s situation, you would never be able to do better than her. ?However, Xia En regretted it as soon as he made this move. ?Laila is about to become the queen now. Doesnt the act of touching her head a bit insult the queens majesty? ??But he didn''t expect that after being stunned for a moment, Laila''s eyes turned red and she took the initiative to rub Xia En''s palm with her head and whispered. Can you touch me more? ?Shaans expression was a little strange, but he still tried his best to meet Lailas needs. ??If the elves of [City of Giant Woods] saw their queen showing such an expression, they would definitely be shocked. ??Laila said while enjoying the touch: "By the way, I told you my experience, you should also tell me what happened to you during this time, right?" Xia En naturally did not refuse this request and began to explain what happened after leaving [Emerald Island]. Including the encounter with Augustine in the promotion ritual and his coronation as king. Also includes the adventure on the Sand Island and the truth about the Norwich Treasure. ?Laila couldn''t help but sigh: "I have heard the name Augustine, the Pirate King, many times." From what you say, he is indeed a powerful person. Its a pity that [City of Giant Woods] is located inland, so we cant invite him to participate. And, you actually got a secret realm! This harvest is not ordinary. The two of them chatted wordlessly. ?Obviously they are dry words, but they make people happy inexplicably. They feel that every word is meaningful and makes people''s hearts flutter. Time also passes slowly in this process. Gradually, night falls. (End of this chapter) Chapter 251 A date with Leila, the birth of [Heart of Steam] Chapter 251: The date with Leila, the birth of [Heart of Steam] ??As night slowly enveloped the [City of Giant Trees], little fluorescent lights lit up throughout the forest. Since the elves are close to nature, the use rate of oil lamps is not high. Instead, there is a unique fluorescent lamp, which can bloom with a soft halo with a little secret power. Looking down from a high place, dots of light shine across the city, like stars in the sky, reflecting the beauty of the entire city. ?Shaan sat next to Laila, looking at this beautiful scenery and couldn''t help but feel a little crazy. Suddenly, Laila stood up and stretched out her hand to him, with a bright smile on her face: "Do you want to accompany me to visit my city?" ?Xia En was startled, then stretched out his hand, and the two of them held each other''s hands. The next moment. ??The magnificent teleportation circle once again lit up at the feet of the two of them. ?After the light flickered, Xia En came to a busy city. Compared with the last time we met, Laila''s attainments in teleportation spells have greatly improved. Not only is the casting time extremely short, but it can also appear in any corner of [City of Giant Trees]. Xia En came back to his senses and looked around, seeing a bustling crowd around him. There are stalls on both sides of the street, selling various ethnic snacks, magic pattern equipment, ores, jewelry, and magic books. ?There are all kinds of things in the forest. ??If you ignore the different races and the extraordinary items in them, it is almost the same as the night market on the earth in the previous life. Obviously, this grand event of the Conference of All Nations has greatly promoted the commercial trade of [City of Giant Woods]. It also attracted many small and large traders who wanted to make money. ? And soon, Shane was surprised to find that the passers-by around him seemed not to notice the arrival of him and Laila at all. No one was surprised by the appearance of the Elf Queen. "rest assured." ?Laila whispered in Shane''s ear: "I used a magic that reduces my presence, so they won''t discover my identity." ??Xia En has long known from [Laila''s Magic Notes] that she has mastered many weird magics, so he is not too surprised. only ?Shaan glanced at Laila''s little hand clasping his own, and couldn''t help but blink. ?Laila''s pretty face was slightly red, but she still said matter-of-factly: "This magic has a distance limit. If it is too far away, it will be ineffective." Besides, there are so many people here, what if we get separated? ?Shaan nodded, and held Laila''s hand tighter by the way: "You are right." "let''s go." With this magical disguise, Xia En and the two were able to wander around the streets freely. ?Even if someone accidentally caught a glimpse of their faces, they would only think that they were an ordinary couple visiting the [City of Giant Trees]. I have to say. After these hundred years of development, the elves have made great progress in research on technology and magic. The most obvious change is that a large number of magic pattern equipment and steam devices have appeared in the city. From the weapons and armor worn by people to buildings and vehicles, the shadow of emerging technologies can be seen everywhere. ?Many outsiders who have just arrived are dazzled by these new things and cant help but exclaim in admiration. This kind of pattern is called magic pattern? Items inlaid with magic patterns can have different secret powers? ?A bald middle-aged man exclaimed: "Doesn''t this mean that it can give ordinary people extraordinary powers?" Amazing! Really amazing! Someone nearby recognized the identity of the bald middle-aged man and asked curiously: "Master Carmen, do you also want to study this kind of magic pattern equipment?" "certainly!" Master Carmen''s eyes were burning with invisible flames, and he said firmly: "If I can further promote this cross-era product, maybe more people will remember my name!" Some of the companions around me agreed, while others were not very optimistic. Obviously, the opposition still accounts for the majority. Carmen, you are tired of concentrating on mathematics, do you still want to achieve something along the way in the magic pattern? Yes, yes, magic patterns are a completely new field for you, and its not that easy to start from scratch. You are so old, dont you think about your wife and children? Listen to the argument among this group of people. ?Laila''s eyes brightened slightly and she explained in a low voice: "This Master Carmen is a well-known mathematician on the mainland." If he can join the research team of [City of Giant Woods], it will definitely be of great help to the development of magic pattern equipment. Xia En touched his chin. ??He vaguely felt that the name "Carmen" sounded familiar. Thinking about it carefully, Xia Encai suddenly remembered that in later generations, Carmen was a famous magic pattern master. ?Of course, he himself has long since died. ??However, each piece of magic pattern equipment he left behind has a secret power beyond ordinary magic pattern equipment, and can be sold for a high price. ??Whether it is the auction of [Insanity Island] or the collection of Duke Nova, there are magic-patterned equipment painted by Carmen himself. ?There is even a saying spread among the Seven Seas - Produced by Carmen, it must be a high-quality product! ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but look at the bald middle-aged man more. It is hard to imagine that this humble man will achieve extraordinary achievements in the field of magic patterns in the future. ?However, he did realize his dream and left his name in history. ? Carmens attitude was originally very firm, but under the persuasion of her companions, she inevitably wavered. Suddenly at this time. A voice sounded behind Carmen. How will you know if you dont try? Choosing to give up before trying is the act of a coward. ?Carmen was stunned and turned her head suddenly: "Who?" ?He looked back twice, but didn''t see the speaker. But he chewed the words carefully, and the look in his eyes gradually became firm. Thats right, even if I fail, I will still have a try! Everyone, I have made up my mind, you dont need to persuade me any more! After saying that, Carmen left in a hurry, as if she was going to discuss with the elves. ?Laila looked at Xia En beside her curiously, wondering why he suddenly spoke out to persuade her. Its just a small thing that I do casually. ?Shaan smiled and said, "Let''s go." They have come here, and the two of them have not missed some of the delicious food on both sides of the street. ?Shaan ate the Elf sweet pancake that impressed him again, and felt that the taste seemed to have been slightly improved and became less sweet. Perhaps it is an adjustment to suit public taste. ?Laila held the sweet pancake in her hands and gnawed it like a little hamster, with an expression of nostalgia and enjoyment on her face. Its so delicious Xia En asked curiously: "Have you not eaten for a long time?" ?Laila nodded: "Yes." You dont know that since I became the queen candidate, those old-fashioned people wont let me eat any food outside the palace. Its just nectar and fruits all day long, Im tired of them! ?Shaan thought about it carefully. Being a candidate for queen not only brings power, but also brings many shackles to Laila. She must behave like a queen and possess the majesty of a queen. The simplest truth. Now, it is basically impossible for Laila to travel around the continent as before, let alone leave the [City of Giant Woods] as she pleases. The price of becoming a queen is freedom... ?Xia En sighed inwardly. No matter what, this is Laila''s choice, and she cannot control other people''s lives. What he can do now is to give Laila as much fun as possible in the limited time. ?Thinking of this, Xia En grabbed Laila''s delicate hand again and walked in this bustling street. ?There was a sea of ??people, but it seemed like they were the only two people left in the world. Soon, Xia En found a place similar to a small exhibition ahead, where many passers-by gathered. ?Shaan asked the nearest passerby: "Excuse me, what kind of exhibition is this?" The passerby replied: "It is said that Mr. Thomas from the Seahorse Kingdom has developed the latest steam creation." He called it...[Heart of Steam]! ?Xia En couldn''t help but be stunned. Of course he knows about the existence of [Heart of Steam]. The [Gluttony Steam Engine] on his [Black Swan] gained the ability to grow on its own after receiving the blessing of the [Heart of Steam], and its performance improved step by step. ?However, the [Heart of Steam] that Shane obtained at that time was already a product of the fourth generation. At present, those who appear in [City of Giant Woods] should only be the first generation. Xia En suddenly became interested. This Thomas from the Seahorse Kingdom should be the so-called legendary steam mechanic! ?Before he spoke, Laila''s eyes lit up beside her: "Xia En, Xia En, let''s go!" [Heart of Steam], its amazing when you hear it! ? ? Apart from her status as a queen, Laila is also a genius proficient in various fields. Especially in steam technology, she showed extraordinary acumen a hundred years ago. Xia En asked in a low voice: "How is the research on the steam device I gave you before?" After thinking about it, Laila said: "We have already figured out some of its basic principles and used them in the construction of [City of Giant Wood]." Its just that kind of strange activity that we still cant crack. Xia En smiled and said: "Actually, the activity of the steam device is related to this [Steam Heart]." This kind of creation can even make the steam device awaken its own soul! While talking, the two of them had already entered the exhibition. ?However, what surprised Xia En was that there were not many people in the venue. Some people walked out quickly after hearing about the content of the exhibition, seemingly without much interest. In addition, this venue was originally built temporarily, making it even more crude and deserted. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En felt quite strange. The birth of [Heart of Steam] can be called an epoch-making symbol of steam technology. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is witnessing history. But now ?But in fact, many great inventions in history were not taken seriously when they were first born. The limitations of peoples eyesight and horizons meant that no one cared about these things at the initial stage. But under the erosion of time, they will eventually shine like gold in quicksand. At the exhibition stand. Thomas, who had a mustache, looked at the sparse crowd in the audience and couldn''t help but feel a little discouraged. ??In order to come to [City of Giant Woods] and get the opportunity for this exhibition, he risked everything. He wants to turn over in one fell swoop with the help of a creation like [Heart of Steam]! However, the actual situation gave him a heavy blow. Actually, Thomas also understands the reason for the current mediocre response. ?At this moment, the city with the most advanced steam technology in the world is none other than the [City of Giant Trees]. Since I come from a small city and am a human being, I will naturally be looked down upon. The deserted situation in the venue can be expected. "It seems that I lost the bet..." ? Thomas sighed. In his expectation, regardless of success or failure, he did not intend to continue researching [Heart of Steam]. Because doing research is really too expensive and energy-consuming. Even though Thomas was originally a young baron of the Seahorse Kingdom, he simply couldnt withstand this kind of consumption. The best case scenario in his mind is to use this exhibition to make a name for himself and then sell the [Heart of Steam] patent rights at a good price. But now, it seems that even this goal has been missed. ?Thomas sighed again, his heart becoming heavier when he thought of the debt owed in the country. Thats it, Im too naive. "Go back to China and seal this technology forever..." ??Rather than sell his hard work at a low price, Thomas would rather keep it sealed. But at this moment. A man in black robes walked up to him, curiously looked at the exhibits on the platform, and asked. Is this the first generation [Heart of Steam]? ??Although Thomas was frustrated, he did not forget the basic etiquette and nodded politely. Thats right. Placing it on a steam device can increase the efficiency of the machine. Thats right Xia En twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "But this device is a bit too big, isn''t it?" At this moment, he also saw the reason why no one paid attention to [Heart of Steam]. This steam device is as big as one-third of an adult man. It''s okay to use it on those large steam machines. Some small steam machines are not as big as this [Heart of Steam]! ?Thomas couldn''t help but blush a little and defended: "This is a technical problem." I will definitely go in the direction of lightweighting in the future. ??Xia En, however, saw the problem in Thomas'' direction at a glance. The current [Heart of Steam] is just an external device. No matter how it is reduced, it will appear bloated and cumbersome. If it is installed on a large equipment, a [Steam Heart] that is too small will not be effective. So it seems extremely useless. Xia En simply said: "Have you ever imagined using countless small and precise parts to form the [Heart of Steam]?" When installed on other steam devices, it directly penetrates into the interior of the device from a microscopic level to provide more precise blessing? "this" Hearing this, Thomas fell into deep thought. As the inventor of [Heart of Steam], he immediately realized the feasibility of this operation, and his eyes burst into light. It seemed as if a door to a new world was opened to him! (End of this chapter) Chapter 252 The truth of history, the root of disaster Chapter 252 The truth of history, the root of disaster Should the [Steam Heart] not be regarded as an external device, but integrated with other steam devices? But how can this be achieved? ?After being inspired by Shane, Thomas suddenly had many fantastic ideas in his mind. He was originally one of the most talented scientists of this era, otherwise he would not have been able to create such a magical creation as [Steam Heart]. ?There are some things that Thomas can''t think of. It''s not that he is stupid, but that he simply doesn''t have such a concept in his mind. It''s like telling a group of ancient people that electric lights, refrigerators, computers and other things will only make them confused and unable to understand. This is the limitation of the times. ?However, since Xia En has already spoken, he doesnt mind saying a few more words. First of all, the most critical issue is definitely the material issue. There needs to be a material that can make other steam devices think that the [Steam Heart] is a part of them. Of course, special secret powers can also do this, for example, engraving magic patterns in the [Heart of Steam] Speaking, Xia En himself was stunned. He suddenly recalled the many small runes in the [Heart of Steam] in later generations. Now that he thought about it, they were probably variations of the magic runes. In other words, magic pattern technology is actually the basis of [Heart of Steam]. No wonder [Heart of Steam] gradually became perfected after the magic pattern developed and grew. It turns out there is such a connection between the two ??While Xia En was thinking, he looked up and saw Thomas with two mustaches looking at him with admiration, his eyes were extremely fiery. Sir...oh no, master! Please sit down! Please say a few more words! ?Thomas enthusiastically took out a chair, ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, and chatted with Shane enthusiastically about the many details of [Heart of Steam]. ?Shane showed no timidity at all and chatted with Thomas. Xia En is no longer the ignorant young man he was at the beginning. ?The various sights and experiences at sea during this period have already broadened his horizons. In terms of experience, Xia En is not inferior to those old captains who have been wandering at sea for half their lives. ?Especially after meeting Carles again, Shane went to Feiya to gain some knowledge about steam machinery. Coupled with the concepts and thoughts that were far ahead of this era, a few words he casually said can bring a lot of inspiration to Thomas. Soon, a rather strange scene occurred in this venue, which was not very crowded ? Thomas, the owner of the exhibition, and his technicians were as well-behaved as college students, listening to the explanation of a mysterious man in black robes. Its like This is like the opponent''s home court. ?Thomas would ask some questions from time to time, and the man in black robe would answer them patiently. There is quite a "sitting and discussing" atmosphere. ?Such a strange sight naturally attracted many passers-by to watch. The current [City of Giant Woods] has gathered a large number of talented people from all walks of life, including mechanics at the forefront of steam technology. ?These people obviously know their stuff. After hearing a few words from the man in black robe, they were immediately shocked and called their companions to watch together. One spreads it to ten, and ten spreads it to a hundred. It didnt take long before a large number of people who were studying steam technology gathered in the previously deserted venue. ?Other passers-by were also curious as to why there were so many people gathered here and came to join in the fun, causing the entire venue to be overcrowded and packed. The steam mechanics all looked at the man in black robes on the stage with wonder, admiration, and envy. They are all keenly aware that from today on, steam technology will probably usher in a period of explosive development! ??In the crowd, Laila looked at Xia En, who was the focus of everyone''s attention. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a smile, and her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons. She has a little pride and sweetness in her heart. Look, thats the one Ive chosen! That''s who I like! How awesome! How amazing! ?Girls always hope that their sweetheart is a hero with colorful auspicious clouds. ??Although Laila is no longer a simple girl, she is also happy that Sean has been recognized and admired by people. In the middle of the venue, looking at the people in the audience, Thomas''s heart was pounding. He was both a steam mechanic and a businessman. So, Thomas naturally understood what this scene meant. ?His [Heart of Steam] will probably get a lot of attention as a result, and the funding problem will be greatly alleviated. ??He has persisted in research for so long and endured the long-term incomprehension of his relatives and friends, and finally it has come to fruition. ?Thomas''s eyes were sore, and he had the urge to cry. ?He looked at Xia En gratefully and bowed sincerely: "Master, thank you, I really... thank you very much." Thank me for what? ?Shaan waved his hand, pointed at the bloated generation [Heart of Steam] next to him and said, "Didn''t the research and development of this thing depend entirely on yourself?" I just made a small contribution. Thomas said sincerely: "Master, please tell me your name. I will try my best to repay you in the future." ?Xia En was stunned. ??He originally intervened in this matter, just casually, without thinking of anything in return. But at this time, Thomas'' eyes were very serious, and it was obvious that he was not just talking casually. Soon, Xia En smiled. ?Thomas is an unknown number of years away from his time, so even if he wanted to repay his kindness, it would be unrealistic, right? So, Xia En said casually: "In the future, if you encounter a ship called the [Black Swan], just help the captain of that ship." [Black Swan] ? Thomas chewed on the name, a little confused as to why the master suddenly mentioned the name of a ship. What is the relationship between this master and the captain? ?However, when Thomas raised his head again, the man in black robes in front of him had disappeared. There were only excited onlookers in the audience, waiting for his speech. As the light of the teleportation circle flashed by. ??Xia En and the two appeared in another corner of [City of Giant Woods]. Xia En took a long breath and said with emotion: "It''s so exciting to pretend to be cool and run away!" ?Laila looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Xia En, you have indeed become more powerful." Shaan shook his head: "I''m just standing on the shoulders of giants." He looked around and found that he and Laila had come to a quite remote and quiet space. Appears to be the interior of a tall tower. ?On the four walls, there are various books arranged in different categories, like a large library. ?Most of those books exude an ancient and extraordinary atmosphere, and they are obviously quite old. This is the library tower I built. ?Laila looked at the ancient books around and explained: "The ancient books collected by me and other elves over the years are placed here." Surprise...there are so many. Xia En looked surprised. He also realized at this moment that long-growing species do have advantages over short-growing species in terms of collection. The capital that humans can accumulate throughout their lives is just a short journey in life for elves. but ? Did Laila bring herself here just to show off her rich collection? At this time, Laila''s expression became serious, she stretched out her hand to cast a spell that blocked external perception, and then said. Actually, after leaving [Emerald Island], I have been thinking about a question Why do we, the elves, attract [Gods wrath]? Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. Obviously, Laila had already begun to explore the truth behind this. Its just that for a **** like [Hui Siming], the more he knows, the closer the danger becomes. ?Shaan couldn''t help but feel a little worried when he looked at Laila. Laila''s expression was calm, but this also showed her firm determination. According to other elves in [Emerald Isle], my mother made a big mistake, which ultimately led to [Gods Wrath]. But I really dont understand, what did my mother do wrong? So, I began to investigate the whole story of the past incident. After some hard work, I found the manuscript left by my mother. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. ??The reason why Laila left the [Emerald Island] was probably not only because she wanted to travel to the mainland, but also because of this. Speaking, Laila waved her hand, and a draft book on the highest wall flew into her hand. The answer lies in this manuscript. Leila continued: "It turns out that my mother had been conducting research on two things before she was alive." One is the study of Elvish language. The [Sound Seed] you swallowed before was one of the products she developed. The second is...time magic! Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. ?Time magic? ?The reason why he returned to this era is obviously related to time magic, but how does this have anything to do with Laila''s mother? ?As if she could see what Shane was thinking, Laila explained. I have done a lot of research on time magic. But as for the contents of my mothers manuscript, I can only control it for a few seconds at most, and the scope is extremely limited. Your time travel should not have much to do with this. Xia En thought for a moment, quickly realized something, frowned and said. "You mean...the mistake your mother made was actually the study of Elvish language?" Thats right. ?Laila nodded heavily, opened the manuscript, and turned to a certain page. ?Xia En looked closely and saw a few lines of scrawled text where Laila was pointing. Elvish is a language that is closer to the essence of the secret power than other languages. Reciting the true name of the **** in Elvish language, and adding some prefixes and modifications, seems to bring some special influence. I found the name of an ancient **** from a book. What will happen if I pronounce this name? I''m very curious. Perhaps, this is the further hope of our elves. ?Xia En frowned and vaguely guessed a part of the truth. name. Especially the real name, which has special extraordinary characteristics. ?Now it seems that even the gods are restricted by their true names. ?And the Elvish language can actually exert influence on the gods. Even if this restraint is not strong, it is still very unusual. ?Furthermore, this kind of thing will definitely make the gods wary and even disgusting. They are high-altitude gods. But now, there is actually a race whose language, just knowing the true name, can have an influence on them, even threaten them. ?This is undoubtedly against the taboos of the gods! Combined with the coming of [Wrath of God] and the arrival of [Apostle of Filth and Chaos]. ?Shaan makes a bold guess... ?At that time, the name of the **** that Laila''s mother called was none other than [Husi Ming] from outside this world! Perhaps, in [Hui Siming]s view, this is a provocation! In the eyes of the gods of this world, they also want to give this ignorant person a small punishment. Thus, this is the [Wrath of God] imposed on the elves. This can also explain why [Hui Siming], an external god, can extend part of his sense of touch into this world. Among them, there may be the tacit approval of the local gods. But after that, [Huisi Ming] obviously didn''t want to give up, so he took this opportunity to invade this world, trying to draw the power of filth and chaos from it. By the time the local gods came to their senses, it was already too late, and there would be a great flood that swept the world. The truth, is it like this? ?Shane organized the known information in his mind and connected them from dots to lines. ?Of course, these ideas are just his speculations. There are also many loopholes and contradictions in them, and more verification is needed. But this guess can indeed explain many problems. At this time, Xia En gathered his thoughts and looked at Laila in front of him. ?Laila''s appearance was still beautiful, but her eyes were filled with irresolvable sadness as she murmured. Mr. Shane, you should already understand, right? If this is really the case, then all disasters, including the floods that submerged the world, were caused by my mother. And I am indeed the daughter of a sinner. ??If Laila is a heartless girl, she can naturally put aside all her worries. But she is not. She is kind and strong, but has her own persistence and perseverance. So, she will naturally bear those sins and those innocent people who died in the disaster in her heart. ?At this moment, Xia En understood why Laila tried her best to become the Queen of the Elves and why she worked hard to change the [City of Giant Woods]. ?That''s not just because of the commitment with him. ??Its more because Laila wants to wash away this guilt, wants to have a clear conscience, and wants to let more people survive future disasters. Nothats not right! Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind. The disaster happened not just because of your mothers attempts, there must be other reasons. ?Laila looked a little confused: "Why do you say that?" Ancient dragon! The destruction of the ancient dragon clan! ?Xia En suddenly grabbed this light and explained. The demise of the ancient dragon is very similar to the demise of the elves. They both died suddenly during their most prosperous period. The influence of Elvish language on the true names of the gods may explain the extinction of the Elven race. But will the ancient dragons also perish for the same reason? (End of this chapter) Chapter 253 "Tonight, stay" Chapter 253 "Tonight, stay..." Shanes logic is simple. Just like the destruction of the elves, there are many doubts. In more ancient times, the sudden demise of the ancient dragon race was also one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the world. The truth has long been buried by the sands of history and shrouded behind layers of fog. These two races that ruled different eras have many similarities. Especially their sudden destruction, there is a high degree of unity. ??The only difference is that the elves have an additional [Curse of Aphasia], but the ancient dragons have not lost their language. ??If we say, the elves really perished because of the influence of the Elvish language on the true names of the gods. ?Is the extinction of the ancient dragon also due to this reason? The answer is obviously no. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Besides, ancient dragons are different from elves who are good at learning and research. They rely more on their own bodies and talents. ? Even without studying or training, just by growing naturally, Gu Long will have legendary level combat power when he reaches adulthood. Hence, it is impossible for them to conduct in-depth study of their own language like Laila''s mother did. This also shows that there are other reasons for the demise of the ancient dragon. Perhaps, it was also that reason that led to the destruction of the elves. ? And Lailas mothers research was just a trigger. Another fact that can support this conjecture is... ?Hundred years have passed since the last [Wrath of God] in [Emerald Island], and the elves are still the most powerful race in the world. The prosperity and prosperity of [City of Giant Trees] also shows that the time for the elves seems to have not yet come. There is still a long time before sudden destruction. ?Xia En preconceivedly regarded [God''s Wrath] as the main cause of the elves'' demise. But now it seems that this may not be the case. ?Laila is naturally extremely smart to be in the position she is in today. As soon as her mind turned around, she figured out the reason why Xia En mentioned the ancient dragon, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly. You mean... Even without my mothers research, [the wrath of God] is still possible? Will the elves still perish? ?Shaan nodded: "That''s right." But this is just my guess. After all, the age of ancient dragons is too far away from us. ?Laila thought carefully for a long time, and finally sighed: "No matter what, the coming of [God''s wrath] has something to do with my mother." This is a responsibility I cannot shirk. "but" ??The girl who was about to become the queen raised her head and smiled at Xia En, with stars twinkling in her eyes. I feel much better after hearing your words. Thank you, Shane. Hearing this, Xia En felt a little sad. From the moment we met until now, Laila has never asked him how he came here or how long he will stay here. Xia En also tacitly did not mention this matter. But he knew very well that he would eventually leave. ?His current body is just a [projection body]. When the progress bar in the corner of your vision reaches (0/100), it''s time for Xia En to leave. ?At that time, Laila will become alone again and have to face the unknown future and disaster alone. Thinking of this, Xia En sighed softly: "That''s all I can do." What do you mean only these? ?Laila opened her eyes wide and said extremely seriously. Honestly, this is the happiest day Ive had in over a hundred years. Not only did I eat delicious food that I hadnt eaten in a long time, but I also let go of my guard and worries and had fun in the city for the first time in a long time. The most important thing is that I also met the people I have always wanted to meet. When she said this, Laila''s beautiful eyes were always staring at Xia En. Xia En couldn''t help but feel a tremble in his heart, because he saw... At this moment, there was only his reflection in those eyes. To be honest, this is the first time that Xia En has encountered such a "straight ball" offensive. He had to admit that these hundred years had not only improved Laila''s strength and knowledge, but also shaped her character. ??Now Laila is no longer the shy and timid girl she used to be. She only keeps many thoughts deep in her heart. ?Of course, she will still be shy if she is shy. ?The reddish cheeks and fluttering eyelashes are proof of that. But Laila could endure the shyness to say these words, which is enough to show her change. ?Shaan made up his mind and was about to respond when he heard Laila continue. So many happy things are added together, and the result is a wonderful time like a dream. But I still have a small regret in my heart. Mr. Shane, would you like to do me a favor and make up for this regret? ?Laila said it sincerely, and the hint of regret and sadness didn''t seem to be fake. Naturally, Xia En had no reason to refuse. Of course I do. Hearing this, a beautiful smile like a flower suddenly bloomed on Laila''s face. As long as you are willing. The next moment. The teleportation circle appeared again at the feet of the two of them. After a brief period of turmoil. Shaan found that he had left the previous library tower. The first thing that catches the eye is a large bed made of woven grass and trees. "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows and realized something was wrong. First of all, this large bed is woven from a special kind of plant. It looks extremely soft and exudes a refreshing fragrance of grass and trees. On the big bed, there are many soft petals scattered, which makes the big bed fresh and exquisite. ??The amazing thing is that there is a faint fragrance in the air around the big bed. ?Like the fragrance of flowers or some other fragrance. I have to say, this is indeed a good bed! After people see it, they will naturally have the urge to go up and roll around. Xia En glanced around him with his peripheral vision, and immediately recognized that this was probably the interior of a palace. ?Except for the big bed, the interior furnishings of the palace are quite simple, and only some details reveal the girl''s delicate thoughts. There are flowers placed in the corner and some vines climbing on the palace walls. ?There are many books placed on the bedside cabinet. In a corner of the palace, there is even a disassembled steam engine! From the surface, this place doesnt really look like a girls boudoir, but Xia En can tell at a glance ?This palace is Laila''s bedroom. Aware of this, even with Xia En''s determination, his throat couldn''t help but feel a little dry. Its midnight, a man and a woman alone. ?Lailas intention of bringing him here seems to be clear. but Can [Projection Body] really do that kind of thing? ?Although he can breathe and eat, he has never tested his ability in that area. But since one can control blood, then controlling a certain part should also... ?Xia Ens brain was a little confused, so he started thinking about some random things to distract his attention. at the same time. ?Laila looked at him with a smile. ?This girl''s appearance is inherently beautiful, and now under the light of fluorescent light, she is even more stunning. ??The slim and delicate figure is hidden under the wide queen''s dress. Nobility and innocence, purity and charm. ?These contradictory temperaments are harmoniously combined at this moment, bursting out with amazing charm. ?At this moment, her grace was breathtakingly beautiful. ?At this time, a faint fragrance came - it was a fragrance similar to that around the big bed. ?Laila hugged Xia En and said softly. The favor I want to ask you for is... Tonight, stay... ?Shane never expected that the regret Laila wanted to fill would be this. Let him agree in advance and there will be no room for regret. But such carefulness is not annoying at all. To be honest, in front of Laila like this, Shane couldn''t say no. But the problem is Why refuse? If its just one night Xia En opened his mouth, and the words of promise were already on his lips. But all of a sudden! Boom! ! A roar as huge as thunder suddenly came from outside the palace. Following this, there was an extremely violent vibration. The walls, floor, ceiling... not only began to tremble, but even deformed quite a bit. This is no small matter. ?This is the palace of a candidate queen, and even this place was affected by this shock, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation. ?Shane and Laila looked at each other, and the charming atmosphere before was gone. ?Although it is a pity, they are all smart people and naturally know the importance of things. Where is this palace located in [City of Giant Woods]? ?Xia En asked immediately. This is on a branch of the Elf Mother Tree Halfway through her words, Laila''s expression suddenly changed: "No! The enemy''s target is the Elf Mother Tree!" ?Laila acted extremely decisively, quickly cast a teleportation spell, and took Xia En outside the palace. The two of them looked down, their expressions became ugly. Under the trunk of the Elf Mother Tree, pitch-black flames were burning, burning the vigorous vitality in the air. Successive explosions sounded from all directions on the tree trunk. Obviously, it was this explosion that caused the Elf Mother Tree to shake violently. This power ?Laila looked solemn and murmured: "It''s the dark elf!?" As a queen who is about to ascend the throne, Laila naturally has a lot of understanding of the hostile group of dark elves. ?But at this moment, Xia En noticed the strange movement in the other direction of [City of Giant Woods], and couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. Thats I saw, starting from the edge of the city, a dark and deep wave slowly but surely surged over. In any area encompassed by that wave, all light was quickly swallowed up and covered up. The city that was still bustling and lively before was suddenly submerged by less than half of the wave of darkness. Xia En is no stranger to this dark wave. ??The last "Wrath of God" in "Emerald Isle", didn''t it start with such a wave? Could it be said that another [Gods wrath] has descended on the [City of Giant Trees]? ?Laila also clearly recognized the arrival of the dark wave, and her expression changed slightly. But after all, she has experienced a hundred years of growth, and is even about to become a queen. So, Laila said loudly without hesitation. People of [City of Giant Woods], guests from all over the world, dont panic! I am the elf queen who is about to ascend the throne, Lyra Vivian! Please seek refuge at the nearest shelter immediately! Elf warriors, take up your weapons and defend your homeland! ?Her voice was blessed by magic and spread throughout the city. For a time, it drowned out the huge roar. Not only that, the magic patterns on the surface of Laila''s long skirt suddenly bloomed with an unusually dazzling jade green light. ?Like a miniature sun, rising slowly in this increasingly chaotic [City of Giant Trees]. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little moved. ?He looked at Laila, who was acting vigorously and resolutely at this time. The charming look on her face no longer remained, only decisiveness, resoluteness and majesty remained! ?That is the attitude a queen should have! In other words, the beautiful appearance before was a beauty that would only be revealed in front of Xia En alone. ??Moreover, judging from the special magic pattern and the shelters that have been built in the city... ?Layla had prepared for this situation many years ago. Laila, you have really grown up a lot... ?Xia En sighed in his heart and felt a little happy about this. but Leila Vivian? ?This was the first time Shane heard Laila''s full name. The name Vivian inevitably reminded him of the ghost lady from the Black Swan. ??Xia En secretly guessed: "Do Vivian and Laila really have some kind of special connection?" At the beginning, [Laila''s Magic Notes] happened to be discovered next to Vivian''s crystal coffin. ?Thinking about it this way, this is probably not just a coincidence. Its just that now is not the time to think about these issues. ?After Laila appeared, several elf guards wearing magic pattern armor came to her side soon. ?Laila asked the leading guard: "What happened?" Is it the work of the dark elves? The guard said solemnly: "Yes." That group of **** who betrayed the goddess of life suddenly emerged from the ground and used their secret power to trigger a special explosion, causing serious damage to the Elf Mother Tree. Underground? ?Laila frowned slightly. This attack by the dark elves has obviously been planned for a long time, and the purpose is to destroy the elf mother tree in the [City of Giant Trees]. ?That pitch-black flame seems to be the nemesis of the Elf Mother Tree. Preventing the flames from continuing to spread is undoubtedly a top priority. Thinking of this, Laila said decisively: "I will extinguish those black flames, and you will try to protect the safety of other civilians." In that darkness, the Elvish language will be sealed, but the magic pattern equipment can still be used. After giving the order, Laila took Xia En''s hand and used the teleportation circle again regardless of the surprised looks of others. When they reappeared, the two of them were on the ground next to the Elf Mother Tree. The black flames are rapidly destroying the surface of the giant tree, igniting the vigorous vitality. It''s just that after the black flames burned, what was left was not charcoal, but a trace of decay and dryness. Rather than burning, it is more like greedily sucking the vitality of the Elf Mother Tree. Xia En narrowed his eyes: "This is the power of [Huisi Ming]!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 254 Kill trap, desperate situation! Chapter 254: Killing trap, desperate situation! ?This kind of mysterious power with a corrupting atmosphere is undoubtedly the signature feature of [Hui Siming]. Coupled with the familiar dark wave, the source of this turmoil is already obvious. ?But at this moment, His manifestation turned into filthy and burning black flames? What''s going on? ?Xia En frowned slightly, thinking about the reason behind this. [q˼] Besides, Laila''s expression suddenly became very solemn. ?When the suspicion became reality, she inevitably felt a little heavy, but she still explained it to Xia En. As far as I know, He has never appeared in our world in real form. It is only His apostles who cause the calamity of [Gods wrath]. And different apostles have different abilities. Xia En looked surprised: "That''s it." He couldn''t help but recall the [Filthy Apostle] he encountered before. ?The other party''s ability seems to be the heir to create that kind of filthy distortion. Aside from this point, His own strength is also quite impressive. Even if it was just a clone, Xia En and Yan Yan tried their best to defeat it. ?Of course, Xia Ens combat power is no longer what it used to be. ??If we encounter the [Filthy Apostle] again, it wont be as difficult and embarrassing as before. By the way, Yan Yan should be fine now? Xia En thought of this belatedly. ?However, Xia En is not worried about Yan Yan''s safety. ?With his immortality and strange fire ability, there is not much danger even in the current [City of Giant Trees]. But the question is, if Yan Yan cannot reach him in time after Xia En''s ship soul power is exhausted, will he stay in this era? ?Just thinking about this possibility made Xia En a little worried. at the same time. ?Laila looked at the elf mother tree that was eroded by the black flames, with a trace of empathetic sadness in her eyes. As a candidate for queen recognized by the Elf Mother Tree and the Goddess of Life, Laila has already established a deeper connection with this giant tree. Hence, she can also feel the pain when the Elf Mother Tree is burned. ?Laila gently stroked the dry tree trunk, and a bright green light appeared on her fingertips. Wherever the light shines, the black flames begin to extinguish, and even the rotten bark shows signs of rejuvenation. At the same time, Laila said to Shane: "This is a secret technique that can only be mastered by the Elf Queen. It can quickly heal the injuries of the Elf Mother Tree." But the disadvantage is that it requires full devotion to the secret power. Mr. Shane, from now on, Im going to ask you to protect me. "As long as you hold on for a while, the elven guards will arrive here..." simultaneously! Before Laila finished speaking, a scream in the air suddenly sounded in their ears. ??In mid-air, a dark shadow stream suddenly tore through the atmosphere and went straight to Laila''s back. Dang! With quick eyes and quick hands, Xia En reached out and grabbed the stream of light. The huge force carried by it made his palms tremble slightly. Immediately, the secret power in the stream of light suddenly began to violently explode, as if it was about to explode! The appearance of the shadow flowing like an arrow is just an appearance. The real killer move is its secondary detonation! Xia En''s expression remained unchanged as he compressed the domain power of [Great Dark Sky] in his palm. ?There was only a muffled sound of "bang", and the secret power in the shadow exploded, but it was suppressed by a stronger force and could not escape at all. In the end, it was completely swallowed up and absorbed by Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky]. Poof! ?In the corner not far away, an elf with a dark gray complexion suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes. How is it possible? My secret power was absorbed by him?! ?However, before the dark elf could issue a warning, his companions had already rushed out like an arrow. The reason is simple ??The goal of their trip, the owner of [City of Giant Wood] and the only candidate for the Elf Queen, is right there! ?As long as that woman is killed, this operation to subvert [City of Giant Woods] will be at least half successful! Go to hell, you lackeys of false gods! Kill her! In an instant, in the surrounding darkness, several dark elves with strong auras were shouting and attacking Laila. ?Obviously, the halo blooming around Laila is as eye-catching as the sun in the [City of Giant Trees] shrouded in waves of darkness. ?This not only attracted the attention of the elves and visitors from other countries, but also attracted the malicious eyes of the enemies. Nothats not right! ?Shaan suddenly realized something: "The dark elf most likely knew that Laila would come to the trunk of the elf mother tree, so that''s why she got here so quickly!" This is a kill shot against Laila! ?Shaan glanced at Laila with his peripheral vision and found that her expression did not change and she was still continuing to treat the Elf Mother Tree. In other words, she gave her back completely to herself. Do you just believe me? Feeling this trust, Xia En raised a smile on his lips. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. In order to live up to this trust, he also wanted to stop all these dark elves. The next moment. Xia En''s body shook, leaving an afterimage in place. ?His true form has already arrived in front of a dark elf, and with a gentle squeeze of his big hand, he crushed the other person''s throat. So fast Such an astonishing speed made the hearts of many dark elves jump. An old and pale dark elf was surprised at first, and then showed disdain. ?Although Xia En''s display was fast, it was only the aura of the fourth level. There was a huge difference between it and the strong ones of the fifth and sixth levels. ?Such a weak guy actually wants to stop them? For this operation, the dark elves can be said to have come out in full force. Not to mention the fifth-level and sixth-level tribesmen, there are even three seventh-level legendary powerhouses! ?Of course, there will only be more powerful people from the elves. What they have to do is to kill this black-robed man and Laila as soon as possible before the powerful elves arrive! ??The dark elf old man saw that Shane was the last obstacle in front of Laila, so he gave a decisive order. Kill this ignorant boy! ??Two fourth-level dark elves took the lead in pounced on Qianye, their long swords pointed directly at the weak spot under his ribs, and the swords were fierce and swift, as if they were elites. Dark elves and elves have a similar inheritance, and their attainments in swordsmanship and combat skills are equally high. ??However, Xia En had no intention of getting entangled with this kind of minions. He shouted loudly and unleashed all his strength without any reservation. He punched out with two punches and instantly broke the hearts of two fourth-level dark elves. On the surface, he is only at the fourth level, but his argumentative power has already reached the fifth level. Ordinary people of the same level, in front of Xia En, will only end up being killed instantly! Several fourth-level dark elves are holding the rear position, preparing to take action. ??Seeing this scene, they were horrified, and their feet that were about to be raised hurriedly nailed them to the ground. They watched Xia En rush past in front of them, not daring to move. ?Xia En didn''t bother to pay attention to him, and passed by like the wind, heading straight for the old dark elf in the crowd. ?This old man seems to be the leader of this group of assassins. Catch the thief first and capture the king first! ??The old man''s wrinkled eyelids twitched. He held a sword in one hand and stared at Xia En with his dark gray eyes. Seeking death! He is a dark elf at the peak of the fifth level, just one step away from breaking through. How could you be afraid of this fourth-level kid? The old man opened his palms, and a large net of shadows shot towards Xia En. ?The shadow is deep and obscure, extremely cold, and sharp as a knife. Leaves dark traces wherever it passes, which will not fade away for a long time. ?However, Xia En did not dodge, as if he had actively thrown himself into this big net. "Um?" ??The old man frowned slightly, feeling that Xia En''s behavior of throwing himself into a trap was very strange. But the arrogance in his heart overcame this strange feeling, and his face subconsciously showed a "succeeded" expression. But at the moment when the black-robed mans body came into contact with the shadow net! The sight of blood flying everywhere that the old man expected did not happen. Not only that, he also instantly lost control of the big net. This, this is?! ??The old man was inevitably a little distracted by this sudden change. But soon he realized what was happening. ??The secret power of the shadow net did not dissipate, but merged into the body of the man in black robes like a baby swallow. ?The old man was shocked and input more secret power in an attempt to regain control. But once he came into contact with Xia En''s secret power, he was immediately defeated. It often takes seven or eight secret powers to destroy Xia En''s secret power. The old man pointed at Xia En and said in a trembling voice: "The realm...you, you have the realm of the Law of Shadows!" The realm of the Law of Shadows? Hearing this title, Xia En raised his eyebrows. Great Dark Skyis indeed deeply connected with shadows, but the power it controls is not just about shadows. ?Xia En''s thoughts flashed through his mind, but his movements did not stop at all. The fist passed through the old man''s throat and directly broke his neck. At this time, text flashed on the panel. Comprehensive quality: 5.85.81! After absorbing the enemy''s secret power of shadow, his overall quality has improved unexpectedly! ?Although the increase is very small, there are still many dark elves at the moment! ?Shaan looked around, excitement flashing in his eyes. ?He didnt expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise. In his eyes, the dark elves are no longer ordinary enemies, but have become delicious experience packages. ?Shaan turned his head and once again killed the dark elves who dared to approach Laila. Without the command of a leader, these dark elves were like a piece of scattered sand, and naturally they were no match for Xia En. ?However, Xia En did not relax his vigilance, and even frowned deeper. The first batch of dark elves to arrive are generally of low strength. The real strong man among the dark elves has not yet appeared. ?Furthermore, why havent the reinforcements from the elves arrived yet? Not long. Xia En crushed the throat of a dark elf again, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. ?Those dark elves who were still alive retreated silently, looking in a direction in the darkness with respect and admiration. There is confidence in their eyes. It seems that the arrival of the other party will definitely turn the tide of the war. ?Xia En turned his head to look, his brows suddenly furrowed. There were three people coming from the darkness! A tall and silent man with scars of various sizes all over his body. ?That ferocious temperament seems to come from hell! Behind the man are a pair of twin sisters who look very similar. ??It''s just that the temperaments of the two sisters are completely different. One is as cold as ice, and the other is as violent as fire. But without exception, they all showed strong hostility towards Shane. The most important thing is... ?These three people all exude the aura of the sixth level! Three sixth levels? ?Xia Ens eyelids twitched and he realized something was wrong again. ?This is the [City of Giant Woods], the home of the elves! How could three powerful sixth-level dark elves arrive first? ?Even so far, no reinforcements from the elves have appeared! ?Xia Ens figure flashed, came to Lailas side, and spoke. Something is wrong! "Reinforcements may not come! We have to get out of here as soon as possible!" Xia En is still very self-aware. For him to be at the fourth level, it was already considered a great feat to kill a fifth level strong man. But against the sixth level, the odds of winning can only be described as "very slim". Besides, the enemies at this time are still three sixth-level enemies! ?Laila had been concentrating on treating the Elf Mother Tree before. Now she heard this and realized that the situation was abnormal. What? How could this happen? ?After being briefly surprised, Laila immediately gave up on healing the elf mother tree and prepared to use the teleportation circle to leave. However, the moment the magic circle was formed, it encountered extremely strong resistance. The formation was distorted and deformed. "snort." ?Laila snorted and turned a little pale. This was the backlash caused by the failure to cast the spell. No, this space is blocked by a special force! At this time. ??The woman''s laughter came from not far away: "The elf queen candidate''s teleportation magic is so accomplished that everyone on the street knows it." How could we not be on guard against this? The person who spoke was the woman with a fierce temperament. Among the dark elves, the status of women is actually higher than that of men. And she is the actual decision-maker among the three, Heya. Heya stared at Laila''s face and sneered: "Are you still waiting for reinforcements to arrive?" Dont worry, they wont come. ?Laila''s eyes swept around and quickly came to a conclusion. Is it a barrier? Thats right, its a barrier. As if she had plenty of time, and seemed to want to enjoy the desperate expression shown by the Elf Queen, Heya did not take action immediately, but explained patiently. This is a barrier created by three legendary strongmen of our clan who sacrificed their lives. "Even if it is the legend of the elves, it will take at least three days to break it from the outside." And in three days, they will see a dead queen and a dying elf mother tree! ?Hya had a crazy and twisted smile on her face. Im really looking forward to it. What kind of expressions will they show when they see that scene? ?Laila remained calm and calm, and said calmly: "Are you so sure that you can defeat me?" Bluff! Heya chuckled and said, "Although you are at level six, you have spent too much energy on useless aspects." In the field of combat, you are not even a match for any of us. ?Xia En frowned. The current situation is undoubtedly terrible. Traps set in advance, absolute disparity in strength, disparity in numbers, reinforcements that will never arrive. No matter how you look at it, this is a desperate situation! But in a desperate situation, there is still a glimmer of hope! An idea flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he captured the vitality. But at this moment. The previous words seemed to have worn away the last of Heya''s patience. Her eyes flashed fiercely, and she rushed directly towards Laila and the two. Suffer death! The next moment. The turbulent and deep darkness expanded outwards with Xia En as the center. In an instant, the inside of this barrier was completely enveloped... (End of this chapter) Chapter 255 Fight against the sixth level! Survival from desperate situation! Chapter 255: Fight against the sixth level! Survival from desperate situation! This is...the realm! Looking at the thick darkness surrounding him, Heya''s expression changed slightly. The three of them are all sixth-level experts, so they can naturally recognize the existence of the realm. But what surprised the three people even more was the power of shadow contained in this field. Abu, a tall man with scars all over his body, frowned and said. This power seems to come from the same source as my lord. Could it be that...he is also one of the favored ones of God? Heya''s twin sister Hesa ??shook her head and said coldly: "The secret power in this field is so mixed that it simply blasphemes the pure shadow." Perhaps, that guy stole the secret power of shadow from somewhere. Thats how we created this different realm. ?Her expression was cold, but her tone was full of murderous intent. ??The Dark Elves turned to the arms of the Shadow God after being banished to the Underdark by the Goddess of Life. ? And Xia Ens [Great Dark Sky] mixed with several secret powers is undoubtedly regarded as a kind of blasphemy by her. At this time, Heya''s expression had returned to normal, and she sneered: "Don''t worry, no matter how powerful that little guy is, he is only a fourth-level person." In this area, the most we can do is delay it for a little longer. It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of expression that woman will show after her last hope is shattered. Haya is full of confidence and her eyes are full of expectations. They have waited too long and sacrificed too much for this plan. At this moment, we have finally reached the final step of realizing the plan. What can we do if we wait a little longer? The deepest part of the [Great Dark Sky]. ?Laila''s expression was more solemn than ever before, and she tried her best to find flaws in this barrier. But after searching carefully for a moment, she let out a long sigh. No, this barrier was set up by a legendary powerhouse, and my level of secret power is not enough to shake its foundation. A difference of one level is a huge difference. Sorry, Mr. Shane, I am dragging you down this time. Xia En shook his head: "If you insist on saying it, it''s actually me who put you in this dangerous situation." Under normal circumstances, Laila would definitely be accompanied by a lot of elf guards. ??Had it not been for Shane''s appearance, Laila would not have abandoned these guards and stepped into this trap. ?But at this point, it is meaningless to discuss these issues. The most important thing is, how to break the situation! Xia En''s mind flashed and he asked: "Laila, compared with those three dark elves, which one is stronger or weaker in terms of your combat power?" Laila thought after thinking and said: "The three of them are all strong men among the dark elves who are famous for their combat capabilities." One-on-one, I am sure to beat any one of them. But if you want to kill, you have to spend a lot of time. Among the Secret Pathers, "defeating" and "killing" are two different concepts. ??And just as Heya said, Laila''s talent is not only used in combat, but also hard work in fields such as magic patterns, steam technology, and architecture. ?In terms of combat power alone, it is actually not much stronger than the average sixth level. ??And if one of the sixth-level players cannot be killed quickly, Laila will be surrounded by three people. By then, defeat will only be a matter of time. ?Thinking of this, Laila couldn''t help but feel a little guilty. In the final analysis, she is still too weak. ?At this moment, Laila heard Xia En say. So, if you are allowed to temporarily have the legendary realm, can you defeat the three of them? A temporary legend? ?Laila was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "I can!" Still, the sixth level and the legend are separated by a sky! ?Just like Laila can''t break through this strange barrier no matter what. ??As long as she becomes a legend, no matter how bad she is at fighting, the Heya trio will never be her opponents. Hearing this, Xia En no longer hesitated, took out the [Twilight Black Pearl] and handed it to Laila, saying. This is the [Twilight Black Pearl] that can temporarily break through the ranks. I will delay the time for you, and you can absorb the secret power as soon as possible. ??Although Laila was surprised that he still had such a secret treasure, she didn''t ask anything and just nodded heavily. I will. The two of them looked at each other and said nothing. ?Shaan believes that Laila can absorb the secret power of [Twilight Black Pearl] and temporarily enter the realm of legend. ?And Laila also believed that Shane could buy herself precious time. Soon, Xia En turned around and walked into the boundless darkness. Hand around, I cant see my fingers. In the dead darkness, it seemed that only the sound of my own heartbeat and breathing echoed. Several dark elves walked forward cautiously in twos and twos. They have all realized that there is great danger hidden in this darkness, and it will also cause great obstacles to perception. If they were deeply involved in this, they would probably make the sky and the earth inoperable. Fortunately, the power of three sixth-level experts is helping them resist the erosion of darkness. The best way to deal with domains is to expand domains at the same time. ??The three Heyas used their own domains to include the dark elves in order to resist Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky]. Suddenly. In the vast expanse of darkness, a brilliant starlight lit up. As soon as this starlight appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present. The dark elves clenched their weapons and activated their secret power. ??As long as Heya gives the order, they will use all their strength to carry out deadly killing moves. But in the next moment. ??There was a groan from the crowd. Heya turned around and saw a fifth-level dark elf falling silently. In his chest, there was a sharp blade made of shadows. Damn it! Heya cursed secretly. How could she not see that she had fallen into the enemy''s tactic of attacking in the east and attacking in the west? And to kill a fifth-level strong man in such a short period of time, the opponent''s strength obviously cannot be measured by ordinary fourth-level ones. Heya immediately suppressed most of his contempt and ordered. Everyone prepare defensive spells and move on. With the blessing of defensive spells, everyone will undoubtedly have more confidence when marching. It''s just that they didn''t realize that the secret power of the spells around them was quietly decreasing. Its like being sucked away bit by bit by an invisible mouth. Not long after the previous starlight disappeared. In the darkness in the other direction, another group of light appeared. Heya immediately focused his attention on the crowd in case the enemy suddenly attacked. She will not fall for the same move a second time! At this time. A dark elf couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Lord Heya, the starlight...that starlight!" "Um?" Heya realized something was wrong belatedly and turned her head sharply. ??In the thick darkness, countless stars converged into a slender and straight spear, flying towards them in an instant. Heya''s pupils shrank, and she stretched out her hand to block the starlight spear. However, the target of this spear is not her at all! Rather, they are the weakest fourth-level elves in the crowd. simultaneously! The starlight spear flashed past in the darkness. The three dark elves were penetrated by it without any resistance, and were nailed together like candied haws on a string. The terrifying secret power destroyed their vitality in an instant, leaving them unable to even scream. The dark elves next to him were horrified to see it. They are not afraid of frontal fighting, but this kind of attack from the darkness is really frightening. I feel even more aggrieved when I die. This time, is this the real killing move? He Yas face was quite ugly. Several members of her race actually died in front of her. ?At this moment, Heya realized that the enemy hiding in the darkness was far more cunning and dangerous than she expected. ?This kind of sneak attack that combines virtual reality is extremely difficult to guard against! ??It''s like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to pounce out and bite you at any time. Ordinary tribesmen not only cannot hurt each other, but will also become a burden to their own side. ?Thinking of this, Heya made a quick decision and shouted softly. Everyone who is below the sixth level, please retreat to the boundary of the barrier and wait for orders! Hessa, Abu, expand the territory with all your strength, crush this territory to me! Not far away, Xia En sighed softly. Sixth level strong men are really not that easy to deal with. I have to say that Heyas decision really hit Xia Ens side. ??Even though he took action one after another and killed several dark elves, it seemed that he had gained a lot of advantage. ?That''s because they had the home advantage of [Big Dark Sky], coupled with the sudden sneak attack, it caught people off guard. ??Moreover, even if he launched a sneak attack, Xia En did not take the initiative to attack Heya and the others. The reason is simple. In terms of hard power, he is definitely no match for a sixth-level powerhouse! With a fourth-level body, it is not easy to kill a fifth-level one across the ranks. Facing enemies that are two levels apart, it is too difficult to confront them head-on. ?At this time, Heya decided to use the power of the domain to crush the [Great Dark Sky]. It seemed like a thankless decision, but in fact it was an upright use of force to break the situation. She just bullied Xia En because of her low rank and insufficient secret power. This is a naked conspiracy! Being able to put aside his contempt and change his strategy in such a short period of time is enough to illustrate Heya''s fighting wisdom. Become a sixth-level strong man, no matter which race you are, you are not a simple person! Soon, Xia Ens brows frowned tightly. He sensed that three forces from similar but different domains began to stir and run rampant in the darkness. Great Dark SkyAlthough it has the ability to absorb other secret powers in the field, there is an upper limit to this absorption. Especially the secret power of the sixth level, swallowing it is like swallowing a knife, it is extremely uncomfortable. However, once she gives up [Great Dark Sky], Laila who is using [Twilight Black Pearl] will be exposed immediately and become the target of public criticism. So, Xia En gritted his teeth and prepared to resist a wave of force, and then take action himself to attract the attention of the three people. Just how powerful are three sixth-order realms? ?In just a moment, the [Great Dark Sky] began to shake, and the darkness gradually faded, as if it might collapse at any time. Suddenly. ??A mysterious mysterious power was instilled into the vast darkness. It has temporarily stabilized. "This is?" Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he looked at the elf mother tree in the center. This secret power contains vigorous vitality. Obviously, this is the help from the Elf Mother Tree! ??He is not completely without reinforcements. This elf mother tree is their backing. ?However, Xia En''s level is too low after all. Even if he is blessed with secret power, it is still unrealistic to surpass the realm of three sixth-level players. But as long as it drags on, there is hope for a comeback! I caught you At this moment, the taciturn scarred man Abu suddenly burst into light. He strode forward, his body like a cannonball rushing out. The target is surprisingly exactly where Xia En is! With the confrontation between the powers of the realm, the darkness of the [Great Dark Sky] is no longer as deep as it was originally, which also exposed Xia En. The howling of the wind sounded in the air. In an instant. ??Xia En felt a great sense of crisis in his heart, and heavy pressure suddenly came on him, making him feel that he was struggling to move forward. ? And the blade-like shadow made the skin on his body tingle slightly. At the critical moment, Xia En shouted loudly. Double Ship Soul! Power of the storm! ?Several surging and vast secret powers suddenly flowed through his body, causing his aura to surge, and then surge again! Facing this sixth-level dark elf, Xia En did not dare to have any luck and directly activated the second and third forms. Huh? ??Abu let out a sigh, but his movements did not stop at all, and he punched out! ??The feeling of being locked in Xia En''s heart became stronger and stronger. Obviously, this is one of the effects of the opponent''s field. ?Xia En could only punch with all his strength. Boom! The collision of fists and wind seemed to cause a small earthquake. ?The ground continued to break, with numerous spider web-like cracks appearing, and the nearby earth and rocks were crushed into powder. ?Xia En almost flew out upside down. But in the next moment, he disappeared into the darkness and appeared in a relatively safe place. ?Xia En lowered his head and glanced at his limp right arm. ??That punch just now broke his arm bone, and the heartbreaking pain kept coming. Even though [Projected Body] is not a normal body, it can also be injured, and repairing it will take time. On the panel. Ship Soul Power -22! Just one blow knocked off one-fifth of Shane''s "stamina bar", which shows how powerful Abu is. Normally, Xia En always used his absolute physical fitness to crush the secret path players of the same level. Now, he actually feels the same feeling as those enemies. ?As everyone knows, Xia En was surprised, but Heya and the other three were even more surprised. I received a punch from Abu and hes not dead yet? This Abu is the strongest warrior in the sixth level of the dark elf clan. ??He once fought his way into the deepest part of the Dark Territory, went under the twelve abyss, and single-handedly beheaded the head of a dark giant beast with the blood of an ancient dragon. Having tremendous strength, he can almost compete with legendary strong men. At this time, a fourth-level little guy actually received a punch from him and was not killed. This incident is really surprising. But thats the end of it. Abu grinned, revealing his pale teeth. "Your breath has been locked by me, there''s no point in escaping anywhere!" "However, it is an honor for you to die in my hands!" at the same time. Heya and Hesa ??have already rushed towards Xia En from left to right. But at this moment. A clear voice sounded inside the barrier. As long as I am here, who dares to hurt him? (End of this chapter) Chapter 256 The realm of legend, the power of law Chapter 256 The realm of legend, the power of law ?This voice is not loud, and the tone is even a little childish. But it carries a majesty that cannot be ignored, as well as a bone-chilling killing intent. ?But at this moment, Heya and the other three were approaching Xia En, how could they stop so easily? Heya and Hesa ??looked at each other, a cold light flashing in their eyes. Immediately, thousands of threads suddenly burst out from the shadows under the two people''s feet, connecting them to each other. ??This is a killing move developed by these twin sisters, and its power cannot be underestimated. In the blink of an eye. ?Countless shadow threads crisscrossed and struck, trying to cut Xia En''s body into countless pieces. ?At the same time, Abu''s figure also came up behind Xia En, and hit him in the back of the heart with a heavy punch like thunder! ??If this punch hits, even a sixth-level expert will be killed on the spot! There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind. In addition, the breath and space were blocked, and Xia En couldn''t escape even if he wanted to use [Shadow Walking]. It can be said to be a desperate situation in the true sense! ?Xia En looked deeply at the direction where the sound came from. ?His [projection body] is certainly not afraid of sacrifice. But the question is, has Laila successfully used the [Twilight Black Pearl] to temporarily gain legendary power, and can she survive this dangerous situation? Xia En felt extremely heavy when he thought that he might not be able to see the final outcome. But at this moment. A "dang" sound. Suddenly, time... stood still! ?There was silence between heaven and earth, as if all sounds had been lost. ??Whether it is the thousands of threads released by the Heya sisters or Abu whose arms are stretched like the full moon, they all maintain the movements of the previous second and are frozen in this moment. Only their thoughts flow silently. ?Xia Ens eyes widened in astonishment. He was no stranger to this kind of scene. When he entered the Elf Temple, he had seen this kind of time-frozen spectacle more than once. ??Moreover, isnt this the function of the pocket watch called [Instant Time]? The next moment. ?Laila''s figure appeared in front of him, and with a gentle pull, she took him out of this dragnet. After landing, time starts to flow again. ??Xia Ens body also regained its ability to move. He looked at Laila in surprise: "Did you succeed?" ?Laila glanced at Shane''s deformed arm and immediately frowned, her eyes filled with remorse and anger. Did they hurt you? Xia En didnt take it seriously and said, Its just a minor injury. For [Projection Body], he has experienced injuries more serious than this countless times, so he naturally didn''t take it to heart. What Xia En is more concerned about is Laila''s state at this time. ?In his eyes, Laila''s aura was several times stronger than before, and was filled with unspeakable mystery and depth. ?The emerald green pupils took on a strange silvery white color, with a little bit of shimmer rotating around them. Without a doubt. ?Laila successfully absorbed the secret power of [Twilight Black Pearl] and was temporarily promoted to the legendary realm! However, Xia En was a little curious. It took him a long time to break through with the help of this secret treasure. ??How could Laila digest the secret power so quickly? Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind. time! ?Judging from the spectacle of time standing still, Laila must have mastered the secret of time. Combined with her mother''s research during her lifetime and the fields that Laila has never used before, it is not difficult for Xia En to guess that the power of her fields is probably related to time! So, she most likely accelerated the time around her to be able to use [Twilight Black Pearl] in a short time. ?But this is not the time to ask these questions. The three Heyas had recovered from their stasis and looked at Laila and the other two in fear. legend? Impossible! How can you break through the legend on the battlefield? The previous arrogance and pride no longer existed, replaced by strong shock and alertness. Just because of the enemy in front of you, you have entered the realm of legend! ? No matter what means Laila used, does such a "legendary" rank have any side effects or sequelae? A legend is still a legend after all. The gap between them widened to a desperate level in an instant. Just like how Xia En felt when he faced them before. Next, leave it to me. ?Laila said these words to Xia En, and then turned to look at Heya and the others, her pretty face as cold as frost. You hurt him, then go and die. Before she finished speaking, the air around Laila rippled like water waves. ??Heya suddenly felt great fear in her heart. She doesnt know what this secret power is and what its capabilities are. But she felt the great danger that threatened her life! ?In the colorless ripples, white nameless flowers bloom quietly one after another. They sway silently, seemingly ordinary. However, when Heya saw making these little white flowers. She found that her body was completely unable to move. To be precise, her movements were slowed down thousands of times. A simple dodge action would take Heya several seconds to complete. In battles at this level, sometimes one second can determine life or death! ?Laila waved her hand gently. "No!!" In Heya''s exclamation. ??The white flowers swayed like a dancer, and then, cracks appeared on the solidified scenery, like a broken mirror! ?And Heya is also part of this scene, and it is also broken! ?A second ago, Heya was still staring at Laila warily. But the next second, her body was torn apart! "elder sister!" Hesa, who had a cold temperament, had a sad look on her face. But she did not lose her fighting spirit because of this. Instead, she looked at Laila with great hatred, and a sharp scream broke out from her mouth. Bang! Immediately afterwards, Hesa''s body disintegrated and turned into a sticky shadow. ?That was not Lailas handiwork, but the innate secret skill she mastered Shadow! Just like many mages have mastered the skill of "Elementalization", which is immune to physical damage. The dark elves also have their own unique secret techniques. Shading is one of them. After giving up her human form, Hersa transformed into a slender black snake made of pure shadow, as thick as a girl''s arm, and rushed towards Laila at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. Shadow Snake''s eyes glowed scarlet and hissed out smoke-like black snake messages. Go, die, die, die, die! ?This weird form is enough to resist the attacks of most secret arts. Generally speaking, when a sixth-level person encounters it, they will find it extremely troublesome. It can be called a killer move. However, in the face of time, what difference does a mere shadow make? The nameless white flowers bloomed again, stirring invisible ripples. At this moment, Xia En vaguely realized that the water waves in the air might be a manifestation of time. for example The passage of time! The little white flowers are like the waves in the long river of time! In Xia En''s surprised eyes. ??The shadow snake transformed by Hesa ??first froze in place, and then started to continuously retreat! Like a rewinding video, moving from the ending to the starting point. Even the words that came out of her mouth seemed to be swallowed into her belly again. She transformed from shadow to human again. Then what awaits her is death! Hessa''s eyes widened in confusion and she murmured: "The law... you have mastered the law of time..." simultaneously! A flash of bright red appeared on her neck, and her headless body fell silently. The power of time, once used in battle, has such an exaggerated effect! Law? ?Xia En chewed secretly as he listened to this slightly unfamiliar word. The difference between the fourth level and the fifth level lies in the field. The gap between the sixth level and the legend seems to be the so-called "law!" Think more deeply about it. The field, isnt it the manifestation of the law? ??Due to the level of fighting between Laila and Heya, it was too high for Xia En, who was still only a fourth-level Mystic. ?It is difficult for him to see the secret powers and the deeper confrontation But this opportunity to observe the moves of a legendary powerhouse is undoubtedly extremely rare. ?Moreover, it will be of great benefit to him on his secret journey in the future. So, Xia En stared at the battlefield as much as possible, trying to remember what he saw today. But just after Laila killed the Heya sisters one after another, a flash of paleness flashed across her face. Suddenly. ??The big man Abu roared angrily, strode forward, concentrated all his energy into one, and punched Laila! ?There is nothing fancy about this punch. Just fast enough and strong enough! Thats all. ?Even the ripples of time cannot freeze it! ?Its like breaking free from the cage set by Laila! Xia En suddenly raised his eyebrows. ?His and Abu''s fighting methods are actually quite similar. They both rely on powerful and pure numerical values ??to crush the enemy. Because of this, he saw even more how extraordinary Abu''s punch was. ?The opponent put almost all of his body and mind, and even everything in his past, into this punch. Thus reaching the level of "breaking all laws with one force". Can you actually achieve this by just relying on strength? Xia En was touched. But what he was more worried about was Laila''s safety. A muffled "bang" sound. There is a violent collision between the realm of time and pure power. Finally, the fierce fist hit Laila''s delicate body. ?Flesh and blood flying everywhere. A huge **** hole appeared in Laila''s neck, and her head began to fall downwards. Xia En was shaken physically and mentally. His throat was so dry that he couldn''t make a sound. But in the next moment. ??Time began to flow backwards for Laila. The blood hole disappeared, the blood flowed back into her body, and everything returned to its original intact state. But Abu still stood in his original posture, like a statue. Xia En let out a long breath and looked at the tall man warily. ?Laila glanced at Abu who was still where he was with complicated eyes, and said softly. He is dead. ?Xia En took a closer look and realized that Abu had no breath at all. That punch just now had burned out his life, leaving only a useless empty shell. It is not so much that Laila killed him, it is better to say that he killed himself. Upon realizing this, Xia En finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little weird at the same time. Not to mention, the taste of soft rice once in a while seems to be quite good? But then again. ?This ability to manipulate time is a bit too buggy. Not only can it restrict the enemy''s movement, but it can also trace back one''s own injuries to before the injury. ??Isnt this a natural invincibility? Or, is this the true strength of the legendary strongman? Before this day, Xia En had only seen Twilight of the sixth level take action at most. Even, that was still under the ban of [Island of Sand]. Today, Xia Encai witnessed the battle between the sixth level and the legendary strong man. Made him realize that he had only walked a short distance on the secret road, and there was still a quite high mountain waiting for him to climb. The meaning is tantamount to opening the door to a new world! One day, I will become stronger than them! ?Shaan made up his mind and looked at Laila with concern. Laila, are you okay? ?Laila smiled: "I''m fine." But as soon as she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned pale, and a little blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. Xia En''s expression changed slightly, and he immediately walked to her side and supported her body. This is the backlash of manipulating time. ?Laila explained softly: "But it doesn''t matter, just take it slow." ?Xia En murmured: "Sure enough..." The more powerful the force, the more severe the side effects. ?Things that go against the laws of the world, like manipulating time, will undoubtedly bring a huge burden. But fortunately, the biggest crisis has already been reached. In this barrier, no other dark elves can threaten them. After resting for a while. ?Leila began to deal with this barrier set by several legends with their lives. ??Although Heya said that it will take at least three days to untie the barrier. But that is the time to break the barrier from the outside. The strongest fortresses are always breached from within. ?This enchantment is no exception. In fact, the reason why the dark elves sent three level six to assassinate Laila in the barrier was not because their legendary strongman was dead. Rather, the barrier can only accommodate a maximum of six levels of powerhouses. At this time, as Laila exerted her strength, the entire barrier itself began to collapse. The moment the barrier collapsed, several elf guards rushed in immediately. They thought they would see the Queen''s body in grief, but what appeared in front of them was... ?A man in black robes of unknown origin was walking over supporting each other with their noble Queen, who was about to ascend the throne. On the Queen''s face, there was a bright smile that they had never seen before. Like a pure white flower. Innocent but beautiful. This shocked the guards. ?Who is this man in black robe? How can Her Majesty the Queen show such an expression? ?Also, Her Majesty the Queen actually broke through the legend at a critical moment? ?Seeing the guards in front of her, Laila quickly calmed down her little daughter''s demeanor and regained her majesty as a queen. She decisively suppressed the rest of the dark elves, issued orders one after another, and stretched out her hand again to start repairing the elf mother tree around her. But just when Xia En couldn''t help but relax. Mutation happened again. ! ! The dull heartbeat echoed throughout the [City of Giant Woods]. ??The source of the heartbeat is not elsewhere, it comes from this huge elf mother tree! (End of this chapter) Chapter 257 The flames of fire appear, and the false god’s true name appears! Chapter 257 The fire appears, the false gods true name! ˡ ??The heartbeat coming from the Elf Mother Tree was deafening. The ancient giant tree that had just settled down began to vibrate again. ??The bark and branches on the surface of the giant tree were shaken and flew apart, hitting the city below, cracking and cracking many buildings. The sound was terrifying! The elves in [City of Giant Woods] looked at this scene in shock and fear, not knowing what was happening. ?This shaking was more severe than the shaking caused by the previous explosion. It was as if the Elf Mother Tree was about to collapse. You must know that this giant tree is so big that it is beyond imagination, comparable to a mountain range. The current scene, in peoples eyes, is like the sky falling! Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed that the color of flesh and blood appeared where the bark fell off. It is as if another living creature has replaced the core of the elf mother tree. ?Seeing this, Xia En looked stern. He had seen flesh and blood like this before. ??After the great flood came, it was submerged by the sea and no elves remained in the center of the "City of Giant Woods"! ??Shane will certainly not forget it. After the illusion of the elf-like mother tree was torn apart, the huge, deformed and ugly tumor was exposed. At this moment, isnt what grows from the inside of the Elf Mother Tree just that kind of filthy flesh and blood? The identity of the intruder is already clear ?That is the false **** who calls himself [Giant Wood God]! "I see" Xia En suddenly figured out a lot of things. He originally thought that the coming of the [Giant Wood God] happened after the great flood. But now it seems that His invasion started from now on! ??Moreover, the dark elves'' assassination of Laila was only part of their plan. Completely destroying this giant tree, regarded as the mother by countless elves, is also one of their goals! The previous black flames and explosions may just be a cover-up to cover up the shocking changes that occurred deep in the tree trunk. At this time, I saw the elf mother tree that was constantly shaking and collapsing. ?The remnants of the dark elves, whose morale was low and even a little desperate because of their desperate situation, suddenly burst into cheers. My Lord has arrived! The end of the elves has come! Give your life for the shadows! ?Amid the cheers, the morale of the dark elves was high, and their will to resist was greatly strengthened, causing the elves'' offensive to be immediately frustrated. ?Xia En looked at the dark elf who suddenly became excited and couldn''t help but feel a little puzzled. ??Isnt the **** that the dark elves believe in the **** of shadows? Why are you so excited about the appearance of [Giant Wood God]? "etc" Xia En thought for a moment, and his expression immediately became solemn. Since [Giant Wood God] can make most of the tree people in [Giant Wood City] believe that he is [Giant Wood God], of course it can also make the dark elves think that he is [Shadow God]! Im afraid that at this moment, the [Giant Wood God] in the eyes of the dark elves is not what Xia En saw at all. ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s back felt a chill for no reason. ??If the **** that the dark elves believe in is not the real God of Shadows, then where is the original God of Shadows now? Has it disappeared from this world, or has it been swallowed up by [Huisi Ming]? Think deeper. Is there only one **** like the God of Shadows in this world? Are there any other gods that were quietly replaced or replaced? ??If it were an ordinary god, Xia En would of course find this guess too ridiculous. But thats ˼! ??It is an alien **** who invaded this world, an existence that frustrated proud figures like Augustine, and was also the culprit that caused the great flood. It can be said that even if [Hui Siming] does something shocking, Xia En will not be too surprised. From these two experiences of going back to the past, Xia En already knew that in the past era, there were many gods that future generations had never heard of. If this conjecture is true "Then, for those gods who appeared but then disappeared in history, the reason for their disappearance may not be due to changes in the environment..." ?Xia En felt heavy. He suddenly understood Augustine''s original despair. The ignorant are fearless. The more you understand and become stronger, the more you will understand how powerful the enemy you face is. Ahem! ?At this moment, Shane saw Laila beside him suddenly starting to cough up blood. ??Dark red blood appeared on the corners of her fair mouth, which looked extremely dazzling. But she herself closed her eyes and seemed to be in a coma. Laila! ?Shaan looked at Lailas palm that was in contact with the Elf Mother Tree, and suddenly realized that there was a mysterious connection between the Elf Mother Tree and her. ?Especially when Lyra devotes herself to healing the Elven Mother Tree. The damage to the Elf Mother Tree will also cause serious harm to Laila. Even if Laila temporarily enters the realm of legend under the effect of [Twilight Black Pearl], there is nothing she can do! Because, the one who invaded the Elf Mother Tree at this time was a god! Even if it is just a false god, it is still a god! The elves around were also a little overwhelmed, and some even began to pray to the goddess of life. After all, in most peoples understanding, the only ones who can fight against gods are gods. Fortunately at this time. Several elves exuding legendary aura quickly came to Laila''s side. The leader is a mature elf woman with a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but she still retains the majesty of a superior. As soon as she arrived, the elves'' panic quickly calmed down, and they looked at her with reverence and trust. ?This woman is called Suther. She is the sister of the previous Elf Queen. In fact, before Laila arrived at [City of Giant Woods], Suther was the most powerful competitor for the Elf Queen. ??Whether it is prestige or strength, she is far above Laila. ??But to everyone''s expectation, after a long all-night conversation with Laila, Suther actually withdrew from the fight for the throne and began to fully assist this young girl. It can be said. ??Without Suther, Lyra would not have been able to become the only candidate for the queen so smoothly. ?While walking quickly, Suther glanced at Xia En first, with a faint surprise flashing in his eyes, and said warmly. So, you are the person that little Laila mentioned. He is indeed extraordinary, but... he is a good boy. ??After Suther left two comments that were not easy to understand, he walked up to Laila, held her hand, and decisively injected the pure secret power of life into it. ?However, the other elves looked at Xia En in a less friendly way. ?Some people recognized him as the weird man in black robe who abducted Laila earlier. Curious, doubtful, jealous and disgusted. ??He was also a little disdainful of his only fourth-level aura. Other elves felt that the man in black robes looked very suspicious, and wondered whether he was a killer sent by the dark elves. It was only because of Suther''s unique attitude towards him that they did not act rashly. ??Xia En didn''t care about these strange looks, secretly sensing Suther''s aura, and felt that she was more powerful than ordinary legends. Is it the eighth level, or the ninth level that only exists in legend? ?However, regardless of her rank, the stronger she is, the more she can help Laila overcome difficulties. Soon, Xia En noticed it. ??The secret power of life that Suther poured into Laila''s body disappeared quickly like a mud cow entering the sea, without even a splash. Suther also realized this and frowned deeply. The enemies in the Elven Mother Tree are sucking the life out of the Mother Tree and Lyra. "Just injecting the secret power of life can only slow down the process." "The most urgent task is to expel that guy from the Elf Mother Tree." Hearing this, another legendary elf couldn''t help but ask: "But the question is, how to do this?" You cant do anything to the mother tree, right? At the moment, the [Giant Wood God] invades the body of the Elf Mother Tree from the inside, and the two are no longer distinguishable from each other. I am in you, and you are in me. If you launch an attack on the [Giant Wood God], you must first destroy the Elf Mother Tree. This is obviously unacceptable to the elves. I''m afraid, this is also the purpose of [Giant Wood God] choosing this method of invasion. He wants to put the elves into a dilemma so as to absorb more secret power. ?However, Suther was worthy of being an elf whose prestige was second only to Laila. She thought for a moment and quickly came up with a countermeasure. First of all, the will of the mother tree must be awakened, coupled with the power of the goddess of life, to fight against the enemys invasion. So, a group of elf priests began to recite strange incantations. ??This kind of spell spoken in Elvish language has an indescribable rhythm and mysterious power. If you listen carefully, it sounds like a ballad. ?I dont know why, but it sounds a little sad. As the songs were sung, it seemed as if an ancient will was awakening in the Elf Mother Tree. At the same time. ?The Elf Temple in the distance also began to shine with a different kind of light in the darkness, attracting the attention of countless people in the city. That is... the power of the goddess of life! Second, we want to strike fear into our enemies. Suther''s expression was extremely serious, he looked around and said softly. If the worst happens, we will destroy the mother tree and the intruders together! ?Everyone heard her determination from these words, and couldn''t help but look solemn, and responded in unison. "yes!" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but ask. What will happen to Lyra if the Elven Mother Tree is destroyed? ?Suther''s eyes showed a little sadness. Her will has coexisted with the Elf Mother Tree. If the mother tree is destroyed, she will also die. Xia En was shocked: "How could..." Although she has survived the most dangerous assassination, why does Laila still have to face the test of life and death? ??Moreover, what makes Xia En feel helpless and unacceptable the most is... ?Just now, he could still take out [Twilight Black Pearl] and use all his strength to protect Laila''s breakthrough in the final struggle. But now, he seems to be unable to do anything. We can only wait quietly for the elves to try and work hard. Then, tell him the final outcome. In this indescribable state of mind, Xia En actually had a strange idea. Could this be fate? ?The arrangement of fate turned this originally joyful and ambiguous night into an unexpected separation of life and death? Also let him become a witness to this tragic history? Xia En closed his eyes silently. But then, he opened his eyes again. There are many bloodshot eyes in his eyes, showing anger, sadness, and confusion... But soon, these mixed emotions all turned into one Reluctant! So what if this is fate? He never wanted to believe or admit that he traveled back in time to witness such an ending! In other words, his arrival is to change history! ?Thinking of this, a blazing fire seemed to burn in Xia En''s chest. ??If you dont pour out and do something, this flame will burn him to ashes! ?So, Xia En took a step forward, took a deep breath, and then called a name loudly. Yan Yan!! The sound and breath came out together, which made Xia En feel relaxed. The best way to make the [Giant Wood God] feel fear is to let him experience the power that can destroy him. ?The flame of Yanyan is undoubtedly Xia En''s most reliable support. Thats why he would call Yan Yans name without hesitation. ?And he believed that as long as Yan Yan heard his call, he would definitely respond. simultaneously! As expected. ?After this roaring call, in the distance, a ball of fire suddenly ignited in the vast wave of darkness. ?The flame was so bright and dazzling that it could not be obscured by the darkness. ?Like a fire in the dark night, it is impossible to ignore. The next moment. ?This group of fire began to rush towards the direction of Xia En. ??Similarly rushed towards the huge elf mother tree. At this time. The other corner of darkness. The group of people who were [Black Flame Walkers] also saw the fire. Irina''s eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Is that...the king''s fire?" She is extremely familiar with the king''s flame. Because it is a very unique flame, different from other flames in the world. So, she will never admit her mistake. ? Sergei also had a dull look on his face and muttered to himself: "King, when did you come to [City of Giant Woods]?" "And, that person just called him... Yan Yan?" Who is that? The kings name is obviously salary Beside the Elf Mother Tree. "What?" Suther couldn''t help but look at Xia En in surprise, who suddenly made such a move, unable to understand what he wanted to do. But soon, something even more surprising happened to Suther and others. I saw that the light rising from the Elf Temple did not fall on the many devout Elf priests, but fell on Xia En. In an instant. His weak aura soared at an incredible speed. Fifth level, sixth level, seventh level, eighth level This is an alternative type of divine descending technique, which gives Xia En the qualification to face the [Giant Wood God] directly. The blazing flames came to his side like a shooting star. Yan Yans expression was solemn, which seemed a little different from usual. ?In front of Xia En and Yan Yan at this time, even the [Giant Wood God] who had occupied the body of the Elf Mother Tree seemed to be aware of the danger. ?Those deformed sarcomas began to squirm and tremble. ?At this moment, Laila, who had been unconscious before, suddenly opened her eyes and spit out a name to Shane Liver Shakedo. (End of this chapter) Chapter 258 Expel the [Giant Wood God]! [Husi Ming]’s gaze! Chapter 258: Expelling the [Giant Wood God]! [Husi Ming]s gaze! Liver Shakedo. The name that came out of Laila''s mouth was extremely raw and difficult, and the intonation was very strange and indescribably awkward. Its like This is a name that does not belong to this world. Even just to pronounce it requires some kind of translation and some kind of barrier. ?After Laila said the name, her eyes dimmed again, her face became paler, and more blood spilled from the corners of her mouth. Thinking about it, she might have used her secret time skills to glimpse some scenes of the future. This real name is her biggest gain! ??Its just that after Lyra pronounced the name in Elvish, nothing happened. The flames in the darkness are still burning, and the pieces of meat hidden in the tree trunks are still squirming. ?But Shane suddenly understood what Laila meant She wants to pronounce the true name of the false **** herself! But, what difference would it make? ?Xia En had doubts in her heart, but her body movements were faster than her thoughts. He believed in Laila, just as Laila believed in him. So, Xia En took a deep breath. "profit" ??The moment he uttered the first syllable, Xia En immediately felt that the divine power surrounding him suddenly changed wonderfully. It seems to be constantly restless until it boils. Not only that, this power began to resonate with Shanes voice. It was originally the unique Elvish language in the world. At this moment, it seemed to have been divided into countless small runes. Some runes were added and some were deleted under the influence of divine power. ?Xia En vaguely noticed that these runes had meanings such as "expulsion", "damage", "control" and "binding". A clear understanding arose in his mind. ? ? Lyras mother was not wrong in her study of Elvish. It''s just that there is no way to simply pronounce the true name of the god. Must be added with certain prefixes or suffixes to be effective. ?It''s like if you shout "Jack", Jack will turn around at most, but if you want to say "Jack, go to hell!" The meaning and efficacy are completely different. ??However, ordinary Elvish language has no effect on the true name of the god. ?Only when the runes are transformed by divine power and brought closer to their essence can they truly be effective for the gods. ?Suddenly, Xia En thought of the "law" that Hesa ??mentioned before. Since realms and secret techniques are essentially manifestations of laws, the essence of secret power is these obscure runes. Could it be said that... These runes are the laws themselves! ? ??While many messy thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind, the words in his mouth continued to come out. ??Indescribable secret power surges in the air, seemingly invisible and qualityless, but it makes the [Giant Wood God] hiding in the Elf Mother Tree tremble even more violently. It was like countless shackles fell on Him, causing invisible harm and restraint. ?This kind of damage seems small, but he has no way to stop it. He can only let the runes take effect on himself. Until this moment. ?This ugly and weird false **** showed some fear for the first time. And after fear, comes rage! ?He couldn''t understand why he was afraid of these weak ants. When Xia En read the word "sha". Finally, [The Giant Wood God] couldn''t stand the feeling of the blunt knife cutting flesh, and suddenly let out a weird roar, and the distorted flesh and blood suddenly burst out from under the bark of the tree. They turned into visceral-colored tentacles, whipping out from the holes in the bark of the trees, heading towards Xia En below. During the process of drilling out, a large mouth full of sharp teeth and vicious eyeballs opened on the surface of the tentacle. In an instant. ??It was like a forest of flesh and blood descended from the sky, trying to completely submerge Xia En. ?However, Xia En stood still and did not take a step back. Because, by his side, stood one of his most trusted crew members. Boom! Yan Yan opened his arms like a fire phoenix spreading its wings. ?The violent flames soared into the sky and surged towards the endless tentacles of flesh and blood. Chichichichi Flesh and blood cannot withstand the heat of the flames, and are quickly ignited and turned into fuel for the flames. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Accompanied by it, there were screams and wails from the tentacles. They become shriveled and twisted in the flames, and finally turn into flying ashes. ??Many elves looked at the ignited flesh and blood forest and couldn''t help but widen their eyes. Suther was stunned and said, "What kind of flame is this?" Why can the body of a false **** be set on fire? ??If ordinary flames could do this, Suther and other elves would have done so long ago. In fact, the flesh and blood erupted by the [Giant Wood God] looks like flesh and blood, but in fact it has become something separate from ordinary matter. Normal physical attacks are difficult to take effect on. This is a fundamental difference. Even if it is just a false god, his body cannot be destroyed by ordinary people. The current situation is undoubtedly beyond the scope of many people''s cognition. For Yan Yan, this is a matter of course. He once said that the sight of the Giant Wood God and the woods was very unpleasant, and he wanted to burn them all. So, he did it. However, while the flames burned the body of [Giant Wood God], Yan Yan also absorbed some unusual secret power. ?This secret power caused many chaotic scenes to flash through his mind. The burning palace The people crying in the sea of ??fire The man in black robe following him... At this moment, Yan Yan remembered the past. In the crowd under the blazing fire. Black Flame WalkerIrina had a proud look on her face and whispered proudly. This is the kings fuel! "In front of the fire, even God will be burnt for you!" Beside her, Sergey shook his head helplessly: "Why are you so proud?" The question now is, isnt it why the king came to [City of Giant Woods] without telling us? Does he have any other plans? Irina glanced at him strangely and said of course: "What''s there to worry about?" Since the king is here, do we still need to worry about these things? The king will naturally take care of everything. Sergey sighed: "You are hopeless." ?However, in fact, among the [Black Flame Walkers], those who blindly worship King Xin account for the majority. Sergey also admired and respected King Xin very much, but he always felt that this kind of blind trust was wrong. The king is also a human being. Human beings make mistakes. ?Although the king has not made any mistakes until now, this means that when the king makes a mistake, he will undoubtedly swallow extremely painful consequences. When he thought of this, Sergey felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. But at this moment. The elves beside me exclaimed: "If it continues burning like this, won''t even the Elf Mother Tree be set on fire?" Sergey looked up suddenly. As the flames spread, raging fire followed the tentacles of flesh and blood, approaching the body of the [Giant Wood God]. But now the true body of the [Giant Wood God] is in the Elf Mother Tree. So, in the eyes of the elves, this will undoubtedly burn the elf mother tree as well. This immediately caused an uproar. The expressions of the elves changed drastically, some cursed loudly, some howled, and some tried to attack Yan Yan. It''s not that they don''t want to calm down, but that the Elf Mother Tree is too important to the elves, so that they can''t calm down. Lord Suther, they must be stopped! An elf said seriously to Suther: "If this continues, the elf mother tree will be completely destroyed." ?? Suther''s eyes flashed with wavering, but he quickly spoke. Quiet! No one is allowed to do anything! The elves all looked at her with puzzled eyes. But after Suther made up his mind, he showed an iron-blooded will and said firmly. Laila believed in him, so I believed in them. Besides, if they cannot defeat the false gods, the Elf Mother Tree will be destroyed sooner or later. Then, its better to burn the mother tree directly! Hearing the determination in her words, many elves fell silent. They are proud elves. But when faced with the critical moment of life and death for the Elf Mother Tree, they could only place their hopes on two outsiders. ?This feeling is really uncomfortable. Wait, look! That false god... ?Suddenly, an elfs exclamation attracted everyones attention. When people look up high, they see In the body of the Elf Mother Tree, a shadow gradually emerged. It was an extremely ugly shadow, with swollen tumors spread all over a huge heart. The liver, viscera, lungs, stomach and other organs were exposed hanging outside the heart. Even though he is just a shadow, his body seems to be emitting a strong stench. You can contract serious diseases just by looking at it. ?Seeing this scene, Suther''s expression suddenly brightened. That is the true form of the false god! The body of [The Giant Wood God] appears, instead of being located in the Elf Mother Tree. This means that the two of them are gradually separating. Even though the separation speed is not fast, most of the [Giant Wood God]''s body is still stuck to the Elf Mother Tree. But this separation still actually happened. This means that Xia En has done something that even legendary strong men like Suther can''t do. Su Se glanced at Xia En next to Yan Yan in surprise. How did he do it? Suther looked up high again and finally saw some clues. I saw that there were countless chains composed of runes surrounding the ugly shadow. They pierced into the shadow''s body from all angles and pulled it out of the elf mother tree bit by bit. The [Giant Wood God] was of course resisting violently. Its whole body was exerting force and trembling against the pull of the chain. ?However, He was shocked to find that not only could he not break free of the chains. ?Even, as time goes by, this chain is getting stronger and stronger. The power coming from it also made it increasingly difficult for him to resist. ??This is a chain derived from the true name, and is blessed by the goddess of life. In terms of level, it is even a little higher than the [Giant Wood God]. How can He stop such an existence? At this time. ?Shaan just opened his mouth and uttered the syllable "many" in "liveshakto". At the same time, the pulling force from the chain suddenly increased. simultaneously! With this soft sound, the body of [Giant Wood God] was finally completely separated from the Elf Mother Tree. Yan Yan, who also saw this scene, did not hesitate, and the speed of the blazing flames accelerated again, heading straight for the body of the [Giant Wood God]. A series of fiery snakes climbed up from all directions. At this moment, those flesh and blood tentacles became Yan Yans weapons to lock him! ! ! There was another loud heartbeat. But to people''s ears, this sounds more like the angry roar of a false god. ??But this roar proves the weakness of the false god! A truly powerful being never needs to roar to intimidate others. How could Suther miss such an excellent opportunity? She shouted loudly. Do it! Immediately, all the legendary strong men of the Elf race no longer held back, and directly launched an attack on the phantom in mid-air. ??Some people shot long arrows with secret power, some cast powerful spells, and some waved their hands lightly, and a blade flew towards the [Giant Wood God]. The [Giant Wood God] named "Lifushakdo" is indeed very strong. But false gods are just false gods after all. In the final analysis, He is just an apostle under [Hui Siming]. ?After losing the natural protection of the Elf Mother Tree, he could not easily cope with the siege of several legends and the blazing flames. Dong dong dong! The heart of [Giant Wood God] beat violently. ?However, this time, He was not desperate. Large chunks of flesh and blood on His body peeled off, including the places where the chains had penetrated, the tentacles where the flames had spread, and the charred body. Just a few seconds. ?His body shrunk by at least one-half. ?Those peeling flesh and blood just blocked the attacks of the powerful elves, and also made him relaxed and flexible. Xia En immediately saw the purpose of the [Giant Wood God]. He wants to escape! He never expected that the [Giant Wood God] would actually choose to escape! What makes Xia En even more helpless is that he has no way to prevent the [Giant Wood God] from escaping. After the [Giant Wood God] made a huge sacrifice, the power of the True Name Chain to bind him was immediately reduced by half. It also allowed the [Giant Wood God] to temporarily regain his freedom. The next moment. A dark crack appeared behind the shadow. Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed throughout the city. I will come back again. Although this sentence is different from any other language in the world, everyone understands the meaning of this sentence. At that time, this city will truly belong to me! Dont even think about it! ?After the [Giant Wood God] separated from the Elf Mother Tree, Laila suddenly woke up. She held her head high and shouted at the shadow above. As long as Im here, you can never take this city away! ?Lailas voice was so clear and full of confidence like the sun, which cheered up the frightened people. However, the voice of the [Giant Wood God] sounded again. Then, I will banish you forever. followed by. ?In that ugly heart, a huge eye opened. There was a roar in Xia En''s mind. He suddenly realized that those were definitely not the eyes of the [Giant Wood God], but the eyes of the [Huisi Ming] from outside the world! At this time. ification, fell on Laila. (End of this chapter) Chapter 259 separation and reunion Chapter 259 Separation and Reunion ?No one knows what Laila saw or experienced at this moment. Even Sean is no exception. Even he couldn''t block this gaze at this moment. Because, this is just a look. The owner of the gaze is [Huisi Ming]. Time flows for one second. The eyes on the heart are closed. [The Giant Wood God] disappeared. ?Even with the deep crack that led to nowhere, it also disappeared. ?Subsequently, the wave of darkness shrouding the [City of Giant Woods] began to fade away, and dots of fluorescent lights lit up in every corner of [City of Giant Woods] again. The cracks and scars on the body of the Elf Mother Tree are quickly repaired by its strong vitality. Even if it is internal As a result, whether they were elves or people from other kingdoms, the panic and uneasiness in their hearts gradually dissipated. There is light in people''s eyes again. Only the surviving dark elves looked dazed and felt deep despair. ?They cannot understand or imagine that the gods they believe in would choose to escape. Lord, have you forsaken us? What on earth is going on? Woo woo woo ?This sense of despair of being abandoned, coupled with the fear of facing death, made some dark elves finally collapse and let out low sobs. ?But at this time, Xia En didn''t care about them or everything that happened in the [City of Giant Woods]. He only cared about Laila, who was not far away. After being glanced at by [Husi Ming], Laila''s face became visibly pale, and her eyes were empty and lifeless. It seemed like countless chaotic fragments flashed before her eyes, and countless thoughts rose and fell. Fortunately, her breathing is still stable and her life is not in danger. ?Shaan came to Laila''s side immediately and supported her delicate body that was about to fall. Even though Laila''s life was not in danger, there was still a strong ominous atmosphere lingering in Shane''s heart. Because, that is [Husi Ming]! A **** that even Augustine could not defeat! The last few words spoken by [Giant Wood God] are not only his own will, but also represent the will of [Huisi Ming]! In other words, [Husi Ming] wants to banish Laila forever? But Laila was clearly standing where she was. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Xia En felt in his heart. ) must have done something. ?This kind of hidden method is often more difficult and dangerous than frontal combat. Laila, Laila! ?Shane softly called Laila''s name. After a while, Laila''s eyes gradually became focused. The next moment, thick mist appeared in those bright and moving eyes. Two lines of clear tears fell from her face. ?Xia En was shocked. Since he returned to the past this time, it was the first time he saw Laila showing such a fragile look. Even when she was trapped in the barrier and faced three sixth-level powerhouses, Laila never showed any weakness. ?Lailas voice was helpless and desperate as she murmured: I saw I sawthe future! Xia En was startled: "The future?" What kind of future is it? "yes" ?Laila opened her mouth, but no sound came out of her throat. ?Shaan immediately understood that it was not that Laila didn''t want to say it, but that she couldn''t. In later generations, even the [Aphasia Curse] existed against the entire elves. The curse that made Laila unable to speak some words was really not surprising. But what kind of future picture makes Laila so hopeless and helpless? Is this the scene when the great flood comes? Is this the scene when the entire elves were wiped out? Or the scene when she died? ?Laila couldnt say it, and Shane couldnt guess it either. But from Laila''s eyes, he saw a deep sadness. Its like ?Although Laila was in his arms, she seemed to be in an extremely far away place. The ominous feeling in Xia En''s heart became more and more intense. ?But before he opened his mouth, Laila quickly restrained her sadness and sadness, and a smile appeared on her face. Im fine. ?Laila stood firm with Xia En''s help and walked towards Suther, who was not far away. Sister Suther, it seems that you need to take care of the enthronement ceremony tomorrow. Hearing this, Suther suddenly opened his beautiful eyes: "Laila, what do you mean?" Didnt we discuss it? Obviously you are the most suitable person to be the Elf Queen. Laila shook her head: "In the future I see, being the Queen of the Elf cannot save the elves." Moreover, if I continue to stay, it will only bring disaster to this city. When she said this, Laila turned her head and looked at the [City of Giant Woods] with countless fluorescent lights. There is pride, pride and nostalgia in the eyes, as well as sadness and reluctance. This is the city she built with her own hands, but in order to protect this city, she had to leave here. Suther asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?" ?Laila didnt hide anything, and said frankly: That **** left some kind of coordinates on my body. If I stay in [City of Giant Woods], a disaster like today may happen again at any time. Suther''s heart sank: "How could this be?" She was still a little unwilling and said: "Maybe we can find a way to lift the curse..." Useless. ?Laila said seriously: "That is a terrifying alien **** whose personality is even higher than that of the goddess of life." Besides, what he left behind was actually not a curse, but just a special message. Just like butterflies are attracted to flowers, the outside **** can also unlock my location from this message. ?The reason why Laila can speak so confidently is not only because of her analysis, but also because of the future she sees. In fact, the future she sees is not just a single line, but many possibilities for the future. With so many possibilities, Laila and the elves certainly tried countless times. But, it failed every time. Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed... ?As soon as she recalled those scenes in the future, Laila could not help but turn pale, and a surge of negative emotions surged into her heart. nearly suffocating her. But at this moment, a broad palm grasped Laila''s hand. Without looking back, Laila knew who the owner of the hand was, which gave her some comfort. But why is there no Xia En in the future she sees? ?Laila sighed softly in her heart, but she still wanted to leave the last and best impression to Xia En, so she tried to maintain a calm expression and said. Not only that, there is a price for using the secret of time. After that, my luck will probably become very bad. Coupled with the coordinates left by the foreign gods, I will probably be the one who brings disaster, right? For you and for this [City of Giant Woods], I must leave here. Hearing this, Xia En frowned. People who bring disaster This title made Xia En quite concerned. Because An, the armored knight on his ship, also carries a terrible misfortune. ?Last time, just because Tracey got into An''s armor, it caused them a lot of trouble. In Ans story, a kingdom was even destroyed because of her misfortune. Of course, compared with An''s "disaster power", Laila''s misfortune at this time is not very serious, at least not to the point of immediate effect. despite this. ?Shaan still couldn''t help but wonder, is there any unique connection between the two? Suther finally said with difficulty after digesting what Laila said. It seems that you have made up your mind. Laila said softly: "If possible, I don''t want to make such a determination." Its just that theres nothing we can do about it. Sister Suther, from now on, the [City of Giant Woods] will be handed over to you. Suther bowed deeply to Laila and said in a deep voice. Suther will definitely live up to his mission. ??Except for a few legendary elves around, the residents of [City of Giant Woods] and foreign tourists had no idea that a conversation that decided the fate of this city had ended quietly. The next moment. ?Laila left here with Yan Yan and Xia En. ?This time, they came to the temple of the goddess of life. Yan Yan didnt say anything and silently walked into the deepest part of the temple. The expression is sometimes tangled and sometimes confused. He needs some time to clear his thoughts. ?Shane and Laila were sitting at the gate of the temple, leaning on each other, and quietly looking at the city outside the door. ?Although after a night of chaos, the city was left devastated, many buildings and streets were destroyed, and many people died in this disaster. But after the wave of darkness receded, vitality and vitality reignited in the city. ?What Xia En secretly marveled at the most was the "order" shown by [City of Giant Woods] in this disaster. ?Even if they encountered a sudden danger, the elves still found what they should do as soon as possible. Unlike in the Emerald Isle, once they lost the power of Elvish, they completely panicked and fell into disorderly chaos. ?Shane even suspected... ?? Even if Laila is really assassinated by those dark elves, the other elves can handle the remaining endgame. ?This kind of "order" is actually really amazing. Far more advanced technology and unique buildings in [City of Giant Woods] amazed Xia En. Just like in China in the past life, most people would choose to call the police when encountering violations of laws and disciplines. This is because they believe that calling the police is the most effective solution. However, in some areas of some countries, or in those more backward and older times, people will never have such awareness. Such a sense of order must have taken decades of hard work. And this is one of Laila''s achievements. Laila, you have worked very hard and are very good. ?Shaan turned his face sideways, looked at Laila''s face, and said softly. None of this is your fault. The next moment. Suddenly, a fragrant wind hit his nose, and his lips felt warm, soft and moist. ?Laila actually kissed her. ?This kiss was extremely gentle, yet extremely sad. ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, then followed his instinct and responded. The movements of both of them were very clumsy, and Xia En also tasted something slightly cold and salty. ?Those are Lailas tears. ?Shane was curious about what Laila saw. Why did this kiss give him a sense of farewell? But he didnt ask anything after all, he just enjoyed the moment quietly, enjoying the warmth and body fragrance of the girl in his arms. ?The sky was getting brighter, and the first ray of sunlight shone from the eastern horizon and fell into the vast forest. The darkness around them was quickly disappearing. Will we meet again? ?Laila, who was originally certain that they would meet again, couldn''t help but ask this question. Her confidence was shattered by the possibilities of the future. ?The last time they were separated, Laila made a promise to Shane to "see you in the future." But this time, it was Xia En who made a promise to her. Xia En said seriously: "We will see you again, for sure!" Even if we reverse time and space and become enemies of the gods! A ray of sunshine shone through, and Xia En in Laila''s arms dissipated like smoke. ?Even the flames in the temple disappeared at the same time. ?Laila sat there for a moment, her eyes becoming determined again. She has seen futures that failed. ?So now, she will look for possibilities that do not exist from countless futures! This day. The Elven Queen Suther ascends the throne. The General Assembly of Nations will be held as usual. Carmen began to devote himself to the manufacturing of magic pattern weapons, and Thomas''s [Heart of Steam] received investment from many forces. Edward, who attended the meeting, wore a gold-rimmed single-sided spectacles. ??If Xia En saw him at this time, he would probably understand why he felt familiar to him. at the same time. No one noticed that an elf left the [City of Giant Woods] and embarked on a journey with no end in sight. ?The long river of time flows silently. As if nothing external can affect it. ?Countless people come and go, turning into insignificant waves in the long river. ?Shane opened his eyes. Thus, the time in the Execution Square of [City of Giant Woods] began to flow again. What happened just now? By the way, where did the two outsiders go? The tree people came back to their senses in a daze, feeling that some indescribable changes had taken place in the world. At that moment, many things seemed to have happened. Soon, the tree peoples eyes fell on the center of the square. ?There, a magnificent temple stood quietly. Without a word or a word. Just like when the [City of Giant Trees] was first established thousands of years ago. ?At that time, the Elven Temple also watched everyone who visited it quietly. ?This invisible majesty and divinity make many tree people feel uneasy. Years ago, they were also loyal fans of the goddess of life. Even if they have "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" now, they still have some strange awe in their hearts. The more critical question is Why did the Elf Temple suddenly recover? ??What''s going on with that strange feeling of freeze-drying just now? ??Rumble ?Suddenly, a huge roar came from a distance. Immediately afterwards, the tree people saw a dark and dry forest rising from the bottom of the sea, roaring towards the execution square. Thats...the Black Forest! Aerys! Its Aerys! Is it crazy? It actually mobilized the power of the entire Black Forest! ?The tree people were inexplicably shocked, especially Elder Fana, who was even more panicked for no reason. At this moment, the door of the Elf Temple opened. (End of this chapter) Chapter 260 Clear out the [City of Giant Trees]! Deep sea surge! Chapter 260 Clearing out the [City of Giant Trees]! Deep sea surge! ??Rumble ??The temple door slowly opened under the eyes of the tree people. Two figures, one tall and one short, walked out of it. It is Xia En and Yan Yan. Its those two outsiders! Catch them and sacrifice them to the [Giant Wood God]! ?Seeing the two people, the tree people immediately showed strong hostility and surrounded the two people. They still have some respect for the goddess of life, but they will not have the slightest pity for these humans who trespass into the [City of Giant Woods]. But there are also a small number of tree people who recall the "truth" that Shane said before, as well as the ugly and deformed appearance of their companions in the silvery white light. A trace of doubt about the [Giant Wood God] arose in his heart. At this time. ??The dark forest in the distance has also floated over the execution square like a dark cloud. Stop it all! ??Yris''s vicissitudes of voice sounded, causing the tree people''s movements to freeze. Is it Elder Aerys? Wait, thats...the Black Forest!? Elder Aerys, what do you want to do? ?As one of the oldest tree people in [City of Giant Trees], Aerys is quite prestigious among the tree people. Coupled with the dark forest that was like a dark cloud, the tree people were inevitably a little confused. The first person to react was the elder, Fana, who had already turned to the [Giant Wood God]. ?Fauna floated in the sea, his huge figure showing a deep aura, far away from the black forest on the horizon. Aerys, are you crazy? The branches around Fana were dancing wildly. He looked at Fana high up and said in a deep voice. How dare you bring out the entire black forest? Do you hermit faction want to challenge the majesty of the [Giant Wood God]? "yes." Iris looked at the Elf Temple below. The heart of the tree, which he thought had long been rotten, seemed to burst out with fresh passion and courage, so he said. Today, I am going to bring order to the chaos on behalf of the Goddess of Life, and drive out the [Giant Wood God] forever! Iriss answer greatly exceeded Fanas expectations. Even all the tree people present did not expect it to say such a thing. In their impression, Aerys and his hermits are just a group of wastes who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are neither willing to throw themselves into the arms of the [Giant Wood God], nor are they trying their best to resist like the conservatives. In the eyes of some reformists, the hermits are worse than the conservatives. After all, they dont even have the courage to resist, they just passively wait for the [City of Giant Woods] to be occupied by them. ?This kind of cowardly behavior is always frowned upon. But today, Aerys said that he wanted to expel the [Giant Wood God] from the [Giant Wood City]? ! Okay! Very good! ?Faner was so angry that he laughed: "It seems you are really crazy!" Come here, arrest these rebels! They are not even qualified to receive the [Seed of Life], they are only qualified to be living sacrifices to the [Giant Wood God]! ??Now that Aerys has made up his mind, there will be no further flinching or hesitation. Its eyes fell on the other tree men in the black forest, and it expanded its will. Today, a miracle has come before us! "This means that the gods have once again cast their gaze on us. This is our last and only chance to fight back!" For [City of Giant Woods]! For the Goddess of Life! ?Its words were impassioned and instantly aroused the fighting spirit of the tree people in the black forest. ??The tree people of the hermit sect are not really greedy for life and afraid of death. ??They just couldn''t see the hope of defeating the [Giant Wood God], and they didn''t want to join the ranks of the revolutionary tree people, so they hid in the black forest and worked hard to accumulate strength. They have been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely change the pattern of [City of Giant Trees]. And today is the day when the opportunity comes! For [City of Giant Woods]! For the goddess of life! In the black forest, many tree people shouted loudly and rushed towards the tree people in the execution square. Crazy, really crazy! ?Seeing the passionate scene in the black forest, the executioners were not only angry but also a little bit surprised. ??This group of reclusive cowards actually have the courage to charge against them? ?Just for the goddess of life who has abandoned the tree people and this city long ago? This is so ridiculous! Soon, the tree man who accepted the [Seed of Life] felt offended and angry again. How dare you, the losers hiding in the dark forest to survive, say such big words? ?Hence, they charged towards each other without fear. Boom! ?Two trees, which looked similar but were actually completely different, collided violently, and an extremely brutal battle suddenly broke out. The way of fighting between lower-level trees is actually very simple. Its nothing more than bumping into each other with their bodies, entangled and tearing each other with branches. analogy to human words. They are like two armies. They do not use weapons or armor. They fight purely with their bodies, breaking limbs, tightening their throats, and even biting off the enemy''s flesh and blood with their teeth. This battle between tree people is so barbaric and cruel. Click! The tree man at the front of the team was crushed to pieces without any suspense at the first opportunity. Followed by the second, third What surprised Fana, Gelisi, Nigel and other tree people. ??The tree people of the seclusion sect were not defeated as quickly as they expected. Instead, he showed an extremely tenacious posture, with quite good combat effectiveness, and withstood the first wave of pressure. For a time, the two sides were at loggerheads. ?How can this not shock the reformist tree people? You must know that the most important reason why these tree people chose to accept the [Seed of Life] is their declining vitality. This is determined by the environment of [City of Giant Trees] submerged by sea water. They can easily defeat the conservatives for this reason. If you dont accept the [seed of life], you will become weak and die! If you accept it, you can continue to survive and even become stronger. How to choose such a multiple-choice question? The answer is obvious at a glance, right? ?But at this time, the tree people of the Seclusion Sect who did not accept the [Seed of Life] can still have a strong fighting power? ?Fana looked carefully and quickly discovered the clue. In terms of individual strength, the tree people of the hermit sect are indeed no match for them. But behind the reclusive tree people, there is an entire black forest. ?This strange forest has some special secret power that allows the weakened tree people to temporarily have the strength of their heyday. This dark forest, this is what it turns out to be... ?While the two sides were fighting, Xia En''s eyes also fell on the black forest and saw some secrets of this forest. In his eyes, this black forest is like a huge reservoir. On weekdays, the tree people of the hermit sect sleep in it and pour their secret power into the reservoir. The environment of the black forest can exactly reduce the loss of life caused by sea water. At this time, the tree people can call upon the secret power in the black forest to enhance their combat power. I have to say. In the environment of [City of Giant Trees], it is indeed amazing to be able to come up with such a plan. And Aerys and other tree people have lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, and the secret power and vitality in the black forest have also been accumulated for hundreds of years! This is a plan that has been going on for hundreds of years. The purpose is to burst out the final power when the [City of Giant Woods] is in danger of life and death! What kind of perseverance and forbearance is this? By this time, Shaan also understood the reason why Aerys was unwilling to take action before. ?Once he takes action, he will inevitably put all his chips on it. Previously, it was impossible for Aerys to bet everything on just two unknown outsiders. But after feeling the breath of the goddess of life and witnessing the "miracle" with his own eyes, Iris finally made up his mind. ?This is how the black forest pressed down like a dark cloud. ?However, even so, the overall strength of the innovative faction is still higher than that of the hermit faction. The tree people who converted to the [Giant Wood God] accounted for 80% of the [Giant Wood City]! ?The remaining 20% ??is the share of the hermits and conservatives combined. Even now, Iris and others have temporarily gained the upper hand with their great power. But as long as other trees come to support them, their defeat will be only a matter of time. Of course Shane would not let this happen. He took a step forward and said loudly: "Treants of [City of Giant Trees], the gods you believe in are false gods, and are the apostles of the foreign **** [Huisi Ming]!" The [seed of life] that you have taken is the [seed of corruption] that controls you. Everything you see is just an illusion. Your body and soul have long been eroded and devoured by Him. Today, its up to me to free you! ?At the same time that Xia En spoke out his words, the Elven Temple around him once again bloomed with bright fluorescent green light. Just like that night in the dark a thousand years ago. ??Xia En dared to say these words, so naturally he was not speaking out loud. In fact, a considerable part of the divine power elicited by the elven priests'' previous secret techniques still remained in his body. ??When he returned to modern times, this divine power not only did not disappear, but also vaguely echoed the remodeled Elf Temple. Xia En guessed that these might be some means left by the goddess of life to protect her city. In this case, how could Xia En not use it? As the divine power spreads, the fluorescent green light shines brightly. In the light, the invisible camouflage covering the tree people disappeared silently. ?So, they saw their ugly and terrifying true appearance again. This, what is this flesh and blood? Oh my god, why did my branches and trunk become like this? Is this real? Is what we saw before fake? In an instant. The tree people were in an uproar. ?This is different from the scene in the light curtain and the glimpse in the silver light not long ago. It is a real change that has happened to them. ?Under the power of the Goddess of Life, every tree man can detect that this rotten, ugly, and deformed appearance is their true appearance. The [City of Giant Woods] under their feet has long since turned into a city made of flesh and blood! On the other hand, the originally eerie black forest seemed extremely normal among the deformed and withered tree men. At least, it still looks like a forest. ??Those seclusion factions inside maintain the attitude that tree people should have. Its impossibleimpossible ?Fana lowered his head, looked at his shriveled body and skinny branches, and murmured in disbelief. This must be false. It has betrayed its own beliefs and betrayed its friends. What we got was this ending? ?How can this be accepted? ? There are many tree people like Fana. They may not have noticed some clues, but they can always find excuses to convince themselves. until The truth is nakedly revealed before their eyes! ?For example, Fana''s reaction was quite good, while some of the tree people even lost their minds and let out painful wails. Just the light of the goddess of life made many tree people lose their fighting spirit. ??? Their faith has collapsed, so why fight for the [Giant Wood God]? Sure enough, this is an opportunity given by God! ?Seeing this scene, Iris in the Black Forest looked excited and ordered: "Take this opportunity to counterattack with all our troops!" But at this moment. ! ! ?Like a thunderous heartbeat, it echoed throughout the city. Everyone''s eyes were looking in the direction where the heartbeat was coming from. That is the center of [City of Giant Woods]. That heart covered with sarcoma started beating like it did thousands of years ago. Immediately, the bodies of those chaotic, anxious, and collapsed tree people suddenly stiffened. ??There seems to be a grand will that takes over their bodies and turns them into a group of puppets without emotions or thinking. From the moment the tree people used [Seeds of Life], their lives no longer belonged to them. Obviously, the [Giant Wood God] directly controlled these trees at this time and charged towards Xia En. Xia Ens expression remained unchanged, he raised his head and looked above the water, shouting in his heart. Xiao Hei! I am here! Come and give me a helping hand! ?Above the sea, the huge three-masted sailboat sank suddenly, setting off huge waves, and actually sank into the sea. ?This change surprised Joey and other crew members. But soon, they discovered that there seemed to be an invisible film around the Black Swan, blocking out the seawater. Body of the Deep Sea! ??The talent that Xia En obtained after being promoted to the fourth level was synchronized with the [Black Swan] with the help of [Ship Soul Synchronization], giving it the ability to sail in the deep sea. In less than a moment. ??This big ship sank into the deep sea with an unstoppable force and came to Xia En. ?Shaan stepped onto the deck, took hold of the rudder, and started a real deep sea surge. ?His target is the [Giant Wood God] in the center of [Giant Wood City]. Looking at the tree people rushing towards them one after another, Xia En''s eyes narrowed and he whispered. Its about to go! ?The crew members had recovered from the initial surprise and responded in unison: "Yes, Captain!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 261 Ship spirit level LV6! Chapter 261 Ship Soul Level LV6! ?Humhum Boom! ?After a short period of energy accumulation, the [Gluttony Steam Engine] deep in the cabin let out a low roar, instantly increasing the power to the limit. ?With the blessing of Xia Ens will and the ships soul. The [Black Swan] immediately burst out at an astonishing speed, roaring towards the heart in the center of the [City of Giant Woods]. At this time, it is not so much a "big ship like a deep sea beast", but rather a "deep sea beast with a ship-shaped shell!" When this giant beast starts to charge, almost nothing can stop its progress! ?Faced with this overwhelming momentum, most people would inevitably be afraid and would not dare to intercept this big ship. However, after the [Seed of Corruption] was activated, Fana and other innovative tree people had completely lost control of their bodies. They rushed towards the [Black Swan] involuntarily. Go forward one after another in a mighty and mighty manner. Just like the tide of corpses in zombie movies! A muffled "bang" sound. ??The tree man who first blocked the front of the [Black Swan] could not hold on for even half a second. ?That shriveled and skinny body was torn apart as if it had hit a moving train. ?After crushing the tree man who used the mantis as a cart, the speed of the [Black Swan] did not slow down at all, but instead increased again. And this is just the beginning. Bang! Bang! Bang! ??More and more tree men emerged from every corner of [City of Giant Woods], turning into human walls blocking the path of [Black Swan]. Even if they were smashed into pieces and torn apart, they did not stop their death-defying behavior. ?Shaan even saw the emotions of fear and despair in the eyes of some tree men. Obviously, after being controlled by the [Corruption Seed], the tree people still have independent thinking. ??This feeling of watching your body die is a kind of torture! Nono! As a stronger elder among the tree people, Fana could not control his body. He could only stand in front of the [Black Swan] after screaming. ! ! With a particularly dull muffled sound, Fana''s tree trunk was broken, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. I just dont know if Fana had any regrets before he died. ?Although Fana died, the forward momentum of the [Black Swan] was also stopped. Xia En frowned: "Not good!" Just like the plots in doomsday-themed games or movies and TV series, when you are caught in a "zombie wave", the worst thing that can happen is that the speed starts to slow down. Because once it starts to slow down, the speed will only get slower and slower until it is completely engulfed by the zombie tide. At this time. ??The vines of several tree men tightly wrapped around the deck of the [Black Swan] from behind, trying to stop this rioting deep-sea beast. A knight''s sword suddenly fell down, cutting off all the vines. ?The person who took action was An, who was wearing armor. ??Due to the sequelae of the "disaster" mentioned by Laila, Shane could not help but associate this with Ann. ?However, this is obviously not the time to pursue this issue. Click click ?At the same time, icy crystals appeared in the sea water, freezing the tree men approaching the "Black Swan" into ice cubes. This is the breath from the Bronze Dragon String Song! Not only that, the water around the ship also became undulating as Joey sang. ?The sea water seemed to turn into countless big hands, pushing the [Black Swan] forward while blocking the invasion of the tree people. Even the hermit sect Iris and other tree people saw that success or failure depended on this, so they tried their best to block the other tree people and share the pressure for Xia En and the others. ?With this coming and going, the speed of [Black Swan] increased again. ?Xia Ens eyes became firmer. Although the wave of trees in front of him seems endless, he is not fighting alone! The crew behind him are all his help! ?Xia En looked at the [Giant Wood God] in the center of the city, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and his momentum getting stronger and stronger. ?Today, I will attack a city with one boat! ??When the distance between [Black Swan] and [Giant Wood God] is shortened to a certain extent, the speed of this big ship will inevitably decrease. Even the collision angle of the bow was significantly deformed, and large and small cracks appeared on the hull. There is no way, there are too many trees controlled by [Giant Wood God]. ?Especially for executioners like Fana, their physical strength is even more extraordinary. Even if the hull of the [Black Swan] has been strengthened several times, damage will inevitably occur under such collisions. Durability: 67/300 The durability of the panel has also dropped to a very dangerous value. Since being chased by the Blood Duke last time, this is the first time that the Black Swan has been damaged to this extent. But Xia Ens eyes remained firm. ??If he hadnt had the consciousness to risk everything, how could he have brought the [Black Swan] and its crew to the bottom of the sea? Roar! ! ??As the distance between the two shortened, the surrounding trees became more and more crazy and roared like wild beasts. Those eye sockets no longer possess the rationality that intelligent creatures should have, and what remains is only chaos and hostility. Oh? [Giant Wood God], are you afraid? Seeing this, Xia En not only did not panic, but instead smiled: "After all, you have already lost once a thousand years ago!" ?The wild struggles of the tree people proved the fierceness of the [Giant Wood God]. Facing the incoming tree people, Xia En ordered. Fire! Boom The magic energy main cannon, which had been accumulated for a long time, finally fired its first shot as it sank into the sea. ??When the magic pattern was lit up little by little, an extremely thick beam of light shot out, piercing the tide of corpses ahead like a sharp knife. The light beam faintly exudes a kind of coercion that people cannot look directly at! ??All tree men hit by it were shattered by the violent secret power and turned into dry fragments. In an instant. A blank area appeared in front of the [Black Swan]. Of course, Shane would not miss such an opportunity. He controlled the [Black Swan] to charge forward, and once again spoke out the name with weird syllables in Elvish. Perhaps it is because the power of the goddess of life has not dissipated. ??This time when he returned to modern times, Shane did not forget the pronunciation of Elvish. Hence, this true name still has an effect that ordinary people cannot imagine. The next moment. ?Thousands of chains stretched out from the void, sealing the huge and bloated heart. ?This kind of [True Name Shackles] is what gives Xia En the confidence to challenge the [Giant Wood God]. ?In addition, Xia En also vaguely noticed that the [Giant Wood God] at this time seemed to be much weaker than it was a thousand years ago. This point actually made Xia En a little puzzled. According to common sense, the [Giant Wood God] should have become stronger than before after thousands of years of recuperation, coupled with the plundering and devouring of many tree people. Why has it become weaker? Could it be said that after that, the [Giant Wood God] suffered other heavy blows? ?These questions just flashed through Shane''s mind. He never misses an opportunity to beat up a drowned dog. ?No matter what the reason for the weakness of the [Giant Wood God] is, at this moment, defeating him is the only thing that Xia En has to do. The moment the chain appeared, a roar came from the depths of his heart.?????Lowly ant, its you again! I''m going to tear you apart! ! ?Xia En stared at it calmly and spit out the third syllable. "sand" ??The chains wrapped around the heart immediately tightened, squeezing tightly into the rotting flesh. Of course, [Giant Wood God] cannot just sit back and wait for death. In fact, the moment He roared, His body began to twist and squirm. The carpet of flesh spread throughout the city gathered together like thick mud, making the heart become more and more bloated. In the process of the flesh carpet being rolled back, the tree people who accepted the [Corruption Seed] also merged into it. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Perhaps to be precise. The current [Giant Wood God] is no longer in the shape of a heart, but has gradually evolved into the shape of a tree man. Its just that the body of this tree man is composed of ugly flesh and withered mummies. ?Each branch is a mixture of branches from countless tree people. Every root comes from countless tree people. ?At this moment, the innovative tree people have indeed become part of a greater existence. ?Shane couldn''t help but feel ironic about this. ?Furthermore, the body of [Giant Wood God] is still expanding and expanding. At this time, He was made up of the tree people in the entire city, and his size was naturally incredibly large. At a rough glance, it is at least a few hundred meters high. This is a true giant. ??Compared to Xia En''s giant form, it is dozens of times larger. Even the [Black Swan] appears extremely small in front of Him. In this change, [True Name Shackles] was also affected, and the chain composed of runes began to tremble and seemed a little unstable. Soon, Xia En saw the intention of the [Giant Wood God]. [True Name Shackles] only takes effect on the [Giant Wood God] itself, but the remains of the tree people on the surface of his body are not within the scope of the shackles. When the remains of these tree men are large enough, the effectiveness of [True Name Shackles] will also be weakened. Xia Ens expression did not change and he continued to recite the true name of the [Giant Wood God]. When Shane spit out the last syllable. Without him giving orders or signaling, a figure wrapped in flames rushed towards the flesh and blood giant countless times his size like an arrow from a string. ?Looking at Yan Yans leaving figure. Xia En whispered in his heart: "For my sake, use Fire Fist on Him!" ?During this journey back to the past, Yan Yan actually underwent many transformations. Xia En vaguely realized that in the burning of the flame, Yan Yan might have remembered something or seen something. But as long as Yan Yan doesn''t take the initiative to tell him, Xia En won''t ask. Who in this world doesnt have some secrets? Combined with the many unique features of Yan Yan, Xia En felt that even if Yan Yan said that he was the legendary King of Xin, he probably wouldn''t be too surprised. Lets get back to business. ?After this time travel, Yanyan''s flames became stronger, more domineering, and more aggressive than before. Because of this, he is the most suitable person to give the final blow to the [Giant Wood God]. Yan Yan shouted loudly, and a ray of light from the edge of his fist suddenly exploded, turning into an extremely pure blazing flame and blasting towards the [Giant Wood God]. ?Under the restraints of [True Name Shackles], [Giant Wood God] could not even dodge this punch. Boom! ! ?The flaming meteor hit the flesh and blood giant without any fancy and penetrated deep into his body ?Those filthy and rotten flesh and blood directly vaporized under the extremely high temperature. ?Although they tried their best to block the flaming meteor, the result of doing so was only to turn into firewood for the flames, which instead made the flames burn more intensely. Wrapped in the flames, Yan Yan felt calmer than ever before. ? Even though the fire is burning the external objects, it is also burning his physical body. ?But the physical pain made Yan Yan''s thoughts clearer, and even made him think about some long-forgotten issues. ?How many people has he killed with his fire? He cant remember clearly. Just as people dont remember how many pieces of bread they have eaten, they also dont remember the faces of people wailing and fearful in the flames. But in Yan Yans impression, he seemed to have been burned to death... The real gods! But this time, he just burned another boring guy. Ahhhhhhh! ! ?With an angry and painful roar, the huge body of the [Giant Wood God] was ignited like a torch. The majestic and poignant fire seeped out from the cracks on his body, became brighter and brighter, and quickly spread throughout his body. Until...the whole body collapses! ??If Shane were asked to find a word to describe the current scene, it would probably be - Whale falls! One whale falls and all things come into being. When a whale dies, its remains become nourishment for countless creatures in the sea. At this time, as the [Giant Wood God] collapsed, the meteors gradually fell downwards and fell into the unrecognizable [Giant Wood City], burning the remaining filthy flesh and blood. That is the fire that represents vitality. Rebirth, after destruction. From today on, this sea area can regain its vitality and is no longer a terrible restricted area for life. Not far away. Iris stared at this scene blankly, with a dark green tear flowing out of his dry eyes, and murmured. Goddess above, I finally did it. They won! Even though this victory was so tragic, even though the [City of Giant Trees] was completely destroyed, even though 90% of the tree people died in this battle. But they finally defeated the false gods and regained their freedom. at the same time. ?Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly. He sensed that there were countless remaining [Secret Sea Crystals] floating towards him in the air around him. Obviously, it was a gift left to him by many tree people. Ship Soul Experience +3%! Ship Soul Experience +4%! Ship Soul Experience +2%! After a few lines of prompts have flown by like a waterfall. Ship Spirit Level: LV6 (0%) (Black Swan)! (End of this chapter) Chapter 262 【Deep Sea Hunting】【Curse of Filth】 Chapter 262 [Deep Sea Hunting] [Curse of Filth] ??The warm and slightly cool secret power gathered from all corners of the [City of Giant Woods] and fell into Xia En''s body. The secret power alone appears weak and insignificant. When they gathered together, they turned into a stormy wave that could not be ignored, surging and washing through Xia En''s body. This is the gift of the entire [City of Giant Woods]. Xia En could vaguely feel the emotions of those tree people before they died. There is despair, helplessness, fear... However, there is also relief! In fact, from the moment these tree men received the [Seed of Corruption], their lives had come to an end. What is left is just a walking corpse with no thoughts. It is at the last moments of their lives that many tree people understand this and show some gratitude and relief. at the same time. Several lines of text flashed on the panel. Comprehensive quality: 5.836.0! Unlock talent: Deep Sea Hunting! Quality: Epic Description: Effect 1. During "Deep Sea Scuba Diving", you can start a random "Deep Sea Hunting". The projected body will descend anywhere in the seven seas with a water depth of at least more than 500 meters, and there is a high probability that it will encounter a "hunting target". Effect 2: The income obtained from the "hunting target" will be increased by an additional 50%! "Um?" After reading this brief description, Xia En was slightly stunned. ??The specific abilities of this new talent are actually not difficult to understand. ??It allows Xia En to ignore distance and location and directly appear in a random position in the deep sea as a [projection body]. Compared with the previously unlocked [Submarine Anchor Point], it has an additional "random" feature. In other words, even if Xia En only stays on the [Black Swan], he can go to the deep sea around the world every day to hunt sea monsters and explore ruins. ??Greatly saved Shane the time wasted in finding the diving location. Coupled with the second effect of this talent, the speed at which Xia En improves his strength can be increased again. After thinking for a moment, Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly. The professions of [Deep Sea Hunting] and [Deep Sea Devourer] are a perfect match! Deep Sea DevourerThis secret profession, the way to improve professional compatibility is to devour the giant beasts in the deep sea. ?However, during this period of time, Xia En has been busy exploring the [City of Giant Woods], and his level improvement has naturally slowed down. The new talent of [Deep Sea Hunting] can undoubtedly make up for this very well. ?However, the element of "randomness" has good and bad qualities. The advantage is that you can hunt those deep-sea giants that are thousands of miles away and have never been seen before. The disadvantage is that the strength and abilities of these [hunting targets] are all unknown. ??Perhaps you will encounter some sea monsters that Xia En can''t defeat at this stage. The situation of "killing at first sight" is very likely to happen. ??Moreover, unless you leave a [Submarine Anchor Point] in a new location, you will almost never encounter it again. This means that it cannot be repeatedly conquered like large dungeons such as [Coral City]. Overall. ?Xia En is quite satisfied with the new talents obtained through the upgrade of Ship Soul. ?Although it is not as buggy as [Ship Soul Synchrony], it is better than being simple and practical. Just when Xia En was carefully understanding his own condition. The burned-out core area of ??[Giant Wood God] suddenly released a strange wave. ?Xia En suddenly felt a chill in his heart and looked towards the direction where the fluctuation was coming from. Although the form of [The Giant Wood God] dissipated in the flames, an extremely strong resentment still remained. And the target of this group of resentment is not Yan Yan, but Xia En himself! In the blink of an eye. ?This group of resentment came to Xia En, and an angry and vicious roar came from it. Despicable blasphemer! Do you think you won? One day, our Lord will come to your world again and completely destroy this world! ?His roar sounded as if it was coming from an extremely far away place. ?There were countless low and thin murmurs mixed in, as if there were a large number of malicious voices surrounding Xia En. Not only that, an indescribable gaze seemed to have crossed an immeasurable distance, projected from the cosmic galaxy or the deep sea, and fell on Xia En. ?This moment. ??A roar suddenly sounded in Xia En''s mind. ?The roar was so violent that it seemed to overthrow the whole world and shattered his mind. At this critical moment, Xia En suddenly felt enlightened. The resentment left by the [Giant Wood God] is equivalent to a medium connecting the outer **** to the world, and can also project part of the other party''s power into the world. Without a doubt. ?The owner of this gaze is none other than [Huisi Ming] from outside this world! In less than a second, Xia En''s consciousness seemed to be torn into countless pieces. Severe pain penetrates every corner of the soul. ?Even before his eyes, many strange and bizarre illusions began to appear. But the strange thing is. Even though the experience at this moment was so bad, Xia En still did not collapse. ?Those broken thoughts seem to be glued together under the action of some unique force and repair themselves. Although in the next moment, they will be torn into pieces again. But the speed of repair can still barely keep up with the speed of damage, and the two maintain a delicate balance. At this time, Xia En was like a small boat moving forward in the stormy waves. It seemed like it might be swallowed by the sea at any time, but it miraculously stabilized. Even Xia En is not sure what this power that repairs his soul is. Is it the divine power of the goddess of life? Is it [Eye of the Secret Sea]? Or...the peculiarity of his soul itself? ?Shaan actually didnt have the extra energy to think about these issues, but if he didnt think about something, he would probably be driven crazy by the severe pain in his mind. For the legendary powerhouse, gods are existences that are difficult to look directly at. Not to mention, the **** at this time is far more terrifying than the ordinary gods [Evil Siming]! Xia Ens rank is even only fourth level! At this time. In the dim void, there was some doubtful emotion. ?The other person seemed surprised that such a weak ant could bear his gaze for such a long time. Immediately afterwards, several hallucinatory whispers sounded. I see You are...my...kind... We will meet again... ?After the whispers disappeared, Xia En''s mind quickly returned to clarity, and [Hui Siming] looked away from him. ?Xia En opened his eyes suddenly and gasped for air. He felt that his heart had never been beating so powerfully. ? And in his retinas, it seemed that the chaotic and grotesque illusions from before still remained. A few more seconds passed. ?Xia En''s restless mood gradually calmed down, and in the end, only those vague words were left, still echoing deep in his memory - You aremykind ??Xia En frowned slightly, he was sure that he really heard this sentence. Is this the sound of... [˼]? But, the same kind? Me? ?Xia En rubbed his forehead to relieve the remaining pain in his mind, and felt a little strange. You actually regarded him as one of your own kind? What does this mean? If he is an alien god, is he also an alien god? Or is it that the "similar kind" mentioned by [Hui Siming] is different from what I understand? ?Shaan shook his head and put these confusing speculations behind him. No matter what, the hostile relationship between him and [Gui Siming] will never change. His top priority now is not to consider these far-off things, but to improve his strength as soon as possible. Set a small goal first and advance to level five within half a month! ?Just very quickly, Xia En noticed a few new lines of prompts flashing on the panel. You are under the attention of "Evil Siming"! Obtained status: Curse of Filth! Description: "Huisiming" has paid special attention to you. ??Your breath will continue to attract the "apostles of filth" hiding in this world. You will be more susceptible to the attention of gods than ordinary people. Your luck will get moderately worse. Note: This effect cannot be eliminated before "Huisiming" dies. "Um?" ?Xia En frowned. Obviously, this was the curse left on him by that glance just now. Continuously attracting the [Apostles of Filth and Chaos] hiding in this world? Xia En''s heart moved slightly: "Sure enough, there are other [Apostles of Filth and Chaos] in this world." ?In his experience of traveling back in time, he had witnessed the [Giant Wood God] disguised as the God of Shadows to control the race of dark elves. In addition, he claimed to be the "Giant Tree God" and deceived the tree people. ??Xia En can easily guess that there may be other gods in the world that have been replaced by the [Apostles of Filth and Chaos]. This is also the so-called false god! ?These false gods are all pawns of [Hui Siming]. ?When [Husi Ming] really invades this world, they will play a vital role. ?At the moment, Xia En will undoubtedly be regarded as an enemy by the [Apostles of Filth] because of the [Curse of Filth], and may even be attacked again and again. But on the other hand, this may also be a way to eliminate false gods. ??Xia En had a bold idea in his mind. Under normal circumstances, he cannot easily distinguish the difference between local gods and false gods. But when the [Filthy Apostles] showed hostility, it was clear at a glance whether they were friends or foes. In this way, Xia En can remove the chess pieces of [Ultimate Siming] one by one. ?However, this bold idea has a prerequisite Xia Ende is strong enough! Otherwise, if you encounter false gods and are directly crushed and killed, how can you talk about completely eliminating them? As for the last two effects of [Curse of Filth], Xia En actually didnt care too much. There are too many lice and they are not itchy. ??He seems to be connected to the gods wherever he goes, so it doesn''t matter if he is easily noticed. In terms of luck, there is [Blessing of the Sea] and [Blessing of the Siren] to offset each other, which is considered harmless. The key is strength ?Xia En sighed softly, feeling a strong sense of urgency in his heart. ??Whether it was the influence of the [Curse of Filth] or the words of the [Giant Wood God] before his death, he felt vaguely uneasy. ?Shaen was keenly aware that something terrible seemed to be happening in this world. The scale may be no less than the world-destroying flood of that year. ??And now, Xia En, who is only at the fourth level, is not even qualified to intervene in this change! After a brief sigh of emotion, Xia En looked at the [City of Giant Woods] again. In the face of the raging flames, most of the things in the city were reduced to ashes. The only ones left are the hermit tree people such as Aerys, and a few conservative tree people. They looked at the completely destroyed city blankly, looking confused and at a loss. They did win this battle. But the price of victory was extremely heavy. A considerable number of tree people died in previous struggles with the reformists. Even with the blessing of the black forest, the combat power of the reclusive tree people is still far weaker than that of the mummies controlled by the [Giant Wood God]. ?What they regret most is that the home they have lived in for decades or hundreds of years has been completely destroyed. Only ruins remain. Without the [Giant Wood God], without the [Giant Wood City], they are indeed free. But where should we go from now on? Even Aerys couldn''t help but look blank when thinking about this issue. At this time, Xia En came to Iris''s side and spoke calmly. I can find you a new home. Are you willing to come with me? Iris was stunned and murmured, "What kind of new home is it?" It is a unique secret place with sunshine and grassland, mountains and rivers, endless forests, and the air is full of life. Xia En said: "There is also a group of creatures called the [Moon Yong Clan] living there. You may get along very happily with them." I will divide part of the territory in the secret realm for you. As a price, when necessary, I want you to fight for me! ?The reason why these tree people appear fragile is simply because they have been in a harsh environment for too long. When they regain their vitality, their combat power cannot be underestimated. By then, Xia En will be equivalent to having an army of tree people! ? And Iriss eyes were filled with disbelief: Are you telling the truth? Can wereally live in the sunshine? They tree people have lived in the dark sea for too long, and they no longer even dare to imagine living in the sun. ?The shackles on the body have been lifted, but the shackles on the mind still need time to be broken. Whether you believe it or not, you can tell at a glance. Suddenly, the silver light lit up, and Shane brought Iris into the [Rhine Secret Realm]. When he saw the vast forest, Iris couldn''t help but burst into tears. Dark green tears flowed from its eyes and fell into the rich soil. ?Its branches drooped down, and it prostrated in front of Xia En, showing its piety and respect in a very humble way. From now on, you are the master of our clan! Master, please tell me the name of this land. Xia En looked at the sky of the secret realm and said: "This place is called [Rhine], and it is also your new home." (End of this chapter) Chapter 263 History has long since changed! Chapter 263 History has already changed! Early the next morning. ?The morning sun shines on the surface of the [Sea of ??Annihilation], giving the dim and deep water a bit of a magnificent texture. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] moved forward smoothly, one behind the other. It feels really good to use the talent of [Body of the Deep] to make [Black Swan] soar under the sea. But this crazy move, of course, comes at a price. At this time, the hull of the [Black Swan] was still in tatters, the cracks on the hull and deck were shocking, and even the mast was slightly bent. The previous behavior of colliding with the tree people all the way caused great damage to the [Black Swan]. ?Coupled with the heavy pressure of sea water, even if [Black Swan] has the talent of [High-speed Regeneration], such an injury will still take several days to heal. Even the soul of the ship [Black Swan] fell into a deep sleep temporarily. ?Shaan touched the mast of the ship and said to himself. Xiao Hei, thank you for your hard work. Master...so sleepy... ?Xiao Hei responded in a daze and fell asleep again. Dang! clang! clang! Not far away, the sound of tapping metal kept coming. Xia En turned around and saw that Fei Ya was repairing the damaged steam device on the ship. Not only him, but Joey and other crew members are also dealing with the traces left by the previous battle. Some of the vines and branches of the tree people are still tightly entangled in the corners of the [Black Swan]. Mr. Captain! ??Joy was the first to notice Xia En''s arrival, walked briskly to his side, and sighed. Yesterday when [Black Swan] first sank into the sea, I was shocked! If [Black Swan] really sinks, I dont know what to do. Fortunately, its just a false alarm. ?Joy has lived on the ship for so long and has already developed feelings for the Black Swan. As she spoke, she looked at Xia En with bright eyes. I didnt expect Mr. Captain to have this ability to sail the ship in the sea. Its really amazing! As expected of Mr. Captain! Of course, Joey didnt know that this was the effect of [Ship Soul Synchronization] plus [Deep Sea Body], he only thought it was some kind of special secret ability. ?The power of the secret path is all kinds of strange, and the ability to make ships sail underwater is not too outrageous. ?Shaan smiled, but quickly said softly. However, even I cant do many things. ?Looking at Xia En''s expression, Joey couldn''t help but ask. Mr. Captain, are you in a bad mood? Xia En was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Is it so obvious?" ?Joy nodded heavily and looked at him with some concern: "Yes, Mr. Captain, what happened?" ?Xia En opened his mouth, but stopped talking. The reason why he was in a dull mood was simple. After returning to modern times, Shane carefully asked several crew members about their knowledge of part of history, and compared it with the history in his own mind. Finally, he came to a depressing conclusion The history of the Seven Seas has not changed much. ??The elves are still extinct, and the curse of aphasia still exists. This also means that he failed to change the past. Even with Xia Ens tenacity, he could not help but have some self-doubt after seeing this situation. Is his experience of traveling back in time really meaningful? Or is this just a joke played on him by fate? Its like... no matter how hard he tries, he can only become a passer-by in history, unable to reverse the past and overturn the world. ?Every time he thought about this, Xia En felt a little heavy. What is the trouble, Mr. Captain, would you like to tell me? ??Joy looked at Xia En with his eyes wide open, with an "I''m very curious" expression, and at the same time he was confident. As a crew member, you should share the captains worries! ?Shane thought for a moment and felt that it didn''t matter much to tell Joey these secrets. After all, even the fairy Tracy traveled back to the past with him and Yan Yan. ??If Joey wants to know, he can get the answer from Tracey. ?So, Shane told Joey the two experiences of returning to the past in as short a word as possible. ?However, out of some subtle mentality, Shane omitted some of what happened between him and Laila. Wha, what?! You and Mr. Yan Yan actually went back to the past! You have seen the elven cities that were not destroyed, witnessed the crises those cities encountered, and even met the elven queen? After hearing this, Joeys beautiful pupils were full of astonishment, and he was speechless. ??If it werent for the fact that it was her most trusted captain who said this, Joy would definitely think it was nonsense. ?There is no way, this kind of deed is really shocking and unbelievable. Even in the Seven Seas, where mystics are everywhere and legends fly, there are very few rumors about time travel. However, Xia En not only went back to the past, but also more than once! After a brief shock. ??Joy''s eyes suddenly became complicated when he looked at Xia En. ?Although she only spoke a few words, she could still imagine the magnificent encounters Mr. Captain had during these two journeys. ??Contacting tit-for-tat with powerful enemies in history is fascinating just thinking about it. However, during this experience, I was not able to stay with Captain Shane. ?Joy felt both regretful and guilty. Speaking of which, the elf queen named Laila seems to have had a wonderful encounter with Mr. Captain? ?Joy suddenly became alert and said to himself. Wait a minute, Laila...Isnt this the owner of that magic notebook? Isnt this too coincidental? Even though Shane didnt mention Lailas existence too much, out of a girls intuition, Joey could sense that something definitely happened between them! But the other party is a figure in history after all, and he might have turned into a handful of loess long ago. Does she need to be jealous of the other person? No! Definitely not! ?After taking some time to digest these horrific experiences, Joey sighed. Sure enough, you are truly worthy of being the captain! Such a big thing was done without us even knowing it. ?However, Joey did not forget his purpose of solving Xia En''s problems and thought about it. So, Mr. Captain, are you frustrated because you feel that all your efforts are in vain? Xia En thought for a while and replied: "Maybe there is indeed some such mentality." First of all, everything you do is not in vain. ?Joy said confidently: "Are the people you saved fake?" At least, they lived longer than before. Even if its just for one day, thats the difference you make. Not to mention, your appearance has made [City of Giant Woods] make such significant progress. ??Joy rarely showed such a determined attitude, and the more he spoke, the more serious he became. You think history has not been changed, maybe its just because past civilizations were flooded and buried under the sea. Some details of the past may have changed quietly. Hearing these words, Xia En was not relieved, but a small knot in his heart was lifted.????At this time, Joey continued. "Actually... I have another guess. Of course it''s just a guess. Just listen to it." Shane: Just tell me. ?Joy said in an uncertain tone: "In your opinion, history has not been changed." Is there a possibility History, has it actually changed a long time ago? Xia En was slightly startled: "...huh?" ??Joy didnt know how to express his thoughts accurately, so he seemed a little incoherent. What Im saying is that history as we know it may have been tampered with from the beginning. Your behavior of going back to the past seems to be accidental, but it is actually inevitable! Because, what happened in the past has already happened. ?Joys words were confusing, but Shane roughly understood what she meant. On the surface, Xia Ens entry into the Elven Temple is the cause and his past encounters are the result. But from a time scale, what he did in the past is the "cause." What can also be used as evidence is the reaction of the souls of the ancestors in the [Yueyong Clan] altar. ??Xia En made an agreement with the ancestors of the "Yongyue Clan" because of certain actions in the "past". Compared to the situation when the two sides had not met, hasn''t this period of history been changed? ?Xia En''s heart was shaken, and his mood became more and more complicated. ??If Joey''s conjecture is correct, doesn''t it mean that no matter how hard he tries, the elves'' demise is a foregone conclusion? ?So, Laila also... Suddenly at this time. ??Joy suddenly felt a strange movement coming from the space ring. Before she could open the ring in a hurry, an ancient notebook flew out on its own. It is [Lailas Magic Notes]! Xiange and Joey took turns holding this magic notebook, and it happened to be Joeys turn to put it on him today. Seeing this, both Xia En and Xia En were a little surprised. This is the first time they have seen this kind of change in this notebook. Soon, the magic notebook turned its pages in mid-air. It was not until the last page of the book that the sound of turning the pages stopped. On the paper of unknown material, Shane saw a few lines of text written in Elvish. To be precise, it was just a few fragmented words. Some of the contents were erased by an invisible force. The history you think...may not be the real history... The observed...cannot be changed... However, you can deceive... ?After Xia En saw these lines of text clearly, the writing on the paper quickly faded like ink dripping into water, and finally disappeared without leaving any trace. "This is" ??Joy stared blankly at [Laila''s Magic Notes], not understanding what was happening. She doesnt know Elvish, so naturally she doesnt know the meaning of these lines of text. ?Xia En, on the other hand, frowned deeply and murmured to himself. The history I thought may not be true? What is observed cannot be changed? What does this mean? Can I deceive? Who can I deceive? He guessed that these words were most likely a reminder from Laila. It will only be stimulated under special circumstances. However, these words were a bit too vague for Xia En to understand. ?However, since Laila was able to leave this method in the magic note, maybe it means that she expected today''s situation? Xia En shook his head to expel the chaotic thoughts from his mind. ?Whether it is for himself or the crew, he must continue to look forward! He can be depressed for a short time, but he cannot remain confused. Because, he is the captain of this ship! Shane rubbed Joeys head and said softly: Thank you, Joey. I feel much better after talking to you so much. ??Joy''s face was red, enjoying Xia En''s touch very much, and whispered in a low voice. "Mr. Captain, it doesn''t matter if you rely on me any more..." Xia En didnt hear her words clearly and asked in confusion: What did you say? What, nothing! ??Joy hurriedly waved his hands and quickly changed the topic. Speaking of which, what happened to Mr. Yan Yan? He has been alone in his room since yesterday and hasnt even eaten breakfast. Xia En thought about Yan Yan''s performance in [City of Giant Woods], and his tone was a little heavy: "I think he probably recalled something." ??Joy was surprised: "In other words, is he going to recover his memory?" Isnt this a good thing? Shaan shook his head: "Not necessarily." What if those memories are too heavy and painful? Sometimes, remembering things too clearly may not be a good thing. "But this kind of thing can only be handled by himself." ?Shane did not say what he was most worried about. Human personality is determined by memory. ?Moreover, compared with the long years in the past, Yan Yans time on the Black Swan was extremely short. ?After recovering his memory, Yan Yan may have a drastic change in temperament and no longer regard them as his companions. But no matter what, as long as Yan Yan still regards himself as a crew member of the [Black Swan], then there will definitely be a place for him on this ship. At this time. Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a ship passing quickly on the sea not far away. Hey, is that [Nuanxue]? ??Joy recognized the identity of the ship: "They should be conducting a search and rescue operation, right?" At the same time that Xia En saw the "Nuanxue". The crew on the [Warm Snow] naturally also saw the [Black Swan] and the [Diamond Star]. Some sailors were surprised and asked: "Is that the [Black Swan]?" Why did it become like this after not seeing it for two days? From the appearance, the condition of the [Black Swan] can only be described as "horrible", which is far different from the image two days ago. The girl Lucy felt that her previous guess had been confirmed, and said with a smile: "Do you still have to ask?" It must have been attacked by the tree people from [City of Giant Trees]. Hmph, this is what happens if you dont listen to advice! Another sailor also echoed: "As a captain, the most important thing is to have self-awareness!" Lucy was unforgiving, but she was kind-hearted: "But since you have encountered someone, you might as well go and help." (End of this chapter) Chapter 264 The first time [Deep Sea Hunting] Chapter 264 The first time [Deep Sea Hunting] Just when the crew of the [Nuanxue] were talking a lot. ??The gentle woman Jiya walked out of the cabin and said with a beautiful frown. Lucy, dont talk nonsense. "elder sister!" Lucy looked aggrieved and said, "I didn''t say anything wrong." It was the captain who overestimated his capabilities and made his ship become like this. If you had listened to my advice, you wouldnt have ended up like this. Outsiders dont know that [Black Swan] has the ability to repair itself. For an average captain, such serious damage to the hull is undoubtedly very fatal. ?This not only means that almost all the proceeds from this voyage will be invested in ship repairs, but also that the ship will not be able to sail for a long time. ?There are many captains who are completely unable to recover because of a failure at sea. From the perspective of Lucy and other crew members, although the captain of the [Black Swan] is not at this point, he has also learned a profound lesson. ?Hearing Lucy''s words, Jia Ya''s attitude was still very stern: "Whether it is success or failure, that is everyone''s own business." As outsiders, who are we to make decisions for them? Ji Ya looked at Lucy seriously and said seriously: "Some words can be thought about in your heart, but once you say them out, it will be disaster." Lucy, I wont say these words again. ?Seeing her sister''s serious attitude, Lucy straightened her expression and nodded. Sister, I understand. Lucy glanced at the [Black Swan] not far away and asked carefully: "Then do we still want to help them?" Ji Ya shook her head: "That captain has the communication stone I gave him." If he encounters an irresistible danger, he will take the initiative to contact us. "Since he hasn''t done this yet, it means that the situation is not that bad." Besides Jiya looked at the expressions of the other crew members and sighed: "If you meet them now, you might be thought to be mocking them." ?The crew members couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. ?After making the decision, Jiya continued to do her job as if she had not seen the Black Swan. It didnt take long. The [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] sailed away from this sea area. The [Nuanxue] also found the target of this rescue. This is a small merchant ship. The captain of the merchant ship is a somewhat wealthy businessman. As soon as he saw Lucy and others, the businessman said incoherently: "Fire! Fire... is burning!" Lucy looked confused: "What fire? What''s burning?" Dont be impatient, speak slowly. The businessman took a few deep breaths and continued: "Yesterday, a fire burned deep in the sea." You dont know that at that time, the entire sea burned into a deep red color, like lava flowing on the bottom of the sea. When he said this, the businessman still had a frightened look on his face. Obviously, the scene of the burning sea left a deep impression on him. The businessman rambled, as if babbling. "I seemed to see countless tree men, as well as a giant figure, and roars and wailing sounds echoed on the bottom of the sea." The propulsion device on my ship broke down at that time. Hearing these words, Lucy''s first reaction was disbelief. How can there be fire in the sea? Could it be that you are hallucinating? ?Other sailors also looked at the merchant suspiciously. ?Those who sail on the sea are prone to come into contact with some indescribable things, and thus see chaotic and absurd hallucinations. ?This businessman most likely encountered this situation. But the businessman shook his head and said firmly: "It''s really not an illusion!" Not just me, everyone else on the boat also saw exactly the same scene. On the other side, Jiya''s heart skipped a beat: "Treant?" Its the [City of Giant Woods]!? From the merchants words, she suddenly realized that something had definitely happened in [City of Giant Woods]. Thinking of the [Black Swan] that had just left the [City of Giant Woods], it was difficult for Jia not to connect the two. So, she said immediately. Lets go to [City of Giant Woods] to have a look. Although the crew members of the "Warm Snow" were a little surprised by Jia Ya''s decision, the captain''s prestige was there and no one would object to her opinion. As a search and rescue ship, the [Nuanxue] is of course also equipped with its own salvage crew. ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????Wow! With splashing water, several salvagers jumped into the sea water. Lucy is among them. It didnt take long. Lucys little head emerged from the sea first. ?But her face was full of confusion, as if she suspected that she was hallucinating. Seeing her expression, Jia couldn''t help but ask: "Lucy, what did you see?" Lucy said in a daze: "[The City of Giant Woods]... is gone..." "ah?" Jia Ya was stunned for a full second before she realized what Lucy said. You mean... That underwater forest, that huge tree, those tree people...are gone! Theyre all gone! ?Other salvagers also looked like they had seen a ghost. What they saw in the sea was just an empty ruin. ?On the sand at the bottom of the sea, there is a layer of something that looks like ashes. The tree people who hunted ships and sailors before disappeared completely as if they had never appeared before. Not even a tree man was left. It is hard to imagine that this has changed in just a few days. I know...its the [Black Swan]! ?One of the salvagers suddenly came back to his senses and murmured: "It was them who destroyed the [City of Giant Woods]..." Eliminate all possibilities, no matter how incredible the remaining ones are, that is the truth of the matter! Lucy suddenly felt her face getting hot. ?She originally thought that Xia En suffered a lot and was forced to leave [City of Giant Woods]. However, they did not expect that in less than three days, they would actually do such a big thing and directly level the [City of Giant Woods] to the ground. The legend about the forbidden area of ??life in [City of Giant Trees] has probably ended here. Thinking of this, Lucy felt a little lucky. Fortunately, she listened to her sister''s advice, otherwise the situation might have turned out differently! Jiya looked towards the direction where the Black Swan left, with a hint of shock in her eyes. For what happened after death. Shane was neither informed nor interested. He has determined his next destinationthe capital of the Seven Seas Federation, [Liu Li Island]! ?Shaan is basically certain that the few sentences left in [Laila''s Magic Notes] are the hints given to him. But if he wants to detoxify these tips, he obviously cannot do it by himself. There must be some mystics and scholars in the time and space domain on [Liu Li Island], who may be able to answer Xia En''s questions. Another aspect. [Liu Li Island] is also the place where the most complete and detailed records of history before the Great Flood are recorded. If you want to change history, you must understand history! ??Xia En might be able to find some clues from those histories to confirm some of his conjectures. ?However, at the moment, the [Black Swan]s injuries have not yet recovered, and its speed has been greatly reduced. It will take at least a month to arrive at [Liu Li Island]. Xia En plans to take advantage of this time to improve his strength as much as possible, preferably to the fifth level. After all, [Liu Li Island] is the most prosperous island in the Seven Seas Federation, and there are countless masters and powerful people on the island. Even the fifth-level combat power on [Liu Li Island] is only mediocre. In order to avoid encountering certain accidents, it is still necessary to improve your strength as soon as possible. Wait until the number of [Submarine] is refreshed. ?Shaan sat in the captain''s cabin as usual and opened the panel. According to the effect of "Deep Sea Hunting", projection will be performed in random sea areas! Start diving? Without thinking, Xia En said: "Submarine, start!" As his thoughts fell, his consciousness suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. Then it fell, then fell again A sense of dislocation, as if traveling through endless time and space, and arriving at the destination instantly, passed by in an instant. Then the surroundings became quiet. Xia En opened his eyes, and what he saw in his field of vision was darkness. Even with the talent of [Lightless Touch], this sea area still seems too dark. ?This "darkness" seems to be not just the effect of light, but more like the silent infection of some mysterious power in the sea water. Its like A field? Upon realizing this, Xia En felt awe-struck. The realm itself is a form of control over the secret power. In this world, Shane would not be surprised at all if the giant beasts of the deep could master the power of the domain. He calmed down and moved his limbs cautiously. He suddenly felt a feeling of stagnation and blockage, and his body seemed particularly heavy. This shows that the depth of this sea area is deeper than any of his previous [submersible] dives. Because of the ability of the [Projection Body] to adapt to the deep sea, it is a little difficult to move. ?Xia En was in a weird mood, he thought to himself. Where did you send me this [Deep Sea Hunting]? How deep is the deep sea? ?Shane had heard of a way to divide the deep sea. The area 100 meters below the sea surface is called the [illumination layer]. The area between 100 and 500 meters is called the "low light layer". 500 to 2000 meters[aphotic layer]. 2000 to 20,000 meters[Abyssal layer]. As for the deeper places, there are [Moho layer] and [Gutenberg layer]. However, that is an area close to the mantle and crust, and may not still be within the scope of the ocean. ?Besides, this world is not the earth that Sean is familiar with. It is normal for the depth of the ocean to deviate from the center of the earth. Based on Xia Ens guess, this sea area is already at the depth of the [Aphotic Layer], approaching the [Abyssal Layer] further below. Hum At this time. There was a sudden strong vibration in the sea water. ?It seemed like the breath of some huge creature, and it also seemed like the sea area was restless. The powerful water flow came from behind and hit Xia En''s back. At the critical moment, Xia En forcibly twisted his body and avoided the sneak attack at an incredible angle. ? He ??glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the attacker clearly in the dim water. This is a big fish with strange spines all over its body. ?Bone spurs, like fish fins and scales, extend from every joint in the body and float in the sea water. At first glance, it looks a bit like a lionfish, the so-called "lionfish." ?However, compared with ordinary lionfish, this deep-sea monster fish is hundreds of times larger and hundreds of times more ferocious. Where the eye sockets should have been, only a hollow depression could be seen, with a dark red halo shining inside. ?The moment he saw Xia En, the deep-sea monster fish showed great aggression. ??The ugly body swayed violently in the sea water, then turned into a black shadow and rushed over. Seeing this, Xia En pushed forward with both hands, and actually wrestled with this strange fish head on! ! ?In the deep sea water, a muffled sound was immediately heard, and turbulent undercurrents spread out in all directions. Ship Soul Power -10! ??Xia En glanced at his palm and found that the bone spurs on the strange fish had pierced the flesh and blood of the [Projection Body], leaving several holes in his body. Its not just that. There was still a strange feeling of weakness coming from the place where he was pierced, as if it was eroding his body. Is this...poison? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, and quickly determined the source of the feeling of powerlessness. Under normal circumstances, [Projection Body] will not be poisoned. After all, this body doesnt even have real flesh, blood, or nerves, so conventional toxins naturally cannot take effect. Its just that the toxin of this deep sea monster fish is obviously extraordinary. It is a poison that directly acts on the secret power! Once poisoned, the toxin will continue to consume the secret power. Even the [Projection Body] will be affected a lot. Too careless. Xia En thought secretly. Ordinary lionfish already possess quite a lot of toxins. So he had already guessed that the deep sea monster fish might be poisonous, and it was only because of his trust in the "poison resistance" of [Projection Body] that he chose to fight head-on. Ship Soul Power -1! Ship Soul Power -2! Looking at the falling numbers on the panel, Xia En understood that a quick decision was needed! Fortunately, the fight just now allowed him to roughly judge the power of the deep sea monster fish. In terms of physical fitness, I am still stronger! ?So, without hesitation, Xia En directly activated the [Double Ship Soul] and [Giant Wristwheel] to transform into a giant with incomparable strength. ??The previously huge strange fish looked very petite and exquisite in front of him. Now, you are the challenger! After Shane transformed, the battle ended quickly. ??While the [Projection Body] had not dissipated, he decisively enjoyed the feast of the deep-sea monster fish. ?This strange fish looks ugly, but its meat is actually extremely tender. Even if it is eaten raw, Xia En feels extremely comfortable eating it. ?However, since the strange fish contains unknown toxins, [Projection Body] can eat it without fear of death, so it is better not to let the crew take this risk. You swallowed the "Secret Poison Stickleback"! Comprehensive quality: 6.06.1! Career compatibility +5%! Talent "Swallowing Evolution" is activated! You can choose the direction of evolution from the following three talents. 1. Overgrown with bone spurs (rare) 2. Slippery skin (inferior) 3. Deep sea secret poison (precious) (can be superimposed with the skill "Great Dark Sky"!) (End of this chapter) Chapter 265 Deep diving trip Chapter 265 Deep Diving Journey [Deep Sea Secret Poison]? ??Xia En''s eyes glanced over the first two options and landed on the third talent. Deep Sea Secret Poison ?Quality: Rare Type: Talent Description: According to legend, the deep sea is the origin of life. Endless mysteries and secrets are buried under the deep sea. And that is also the resting place of the "Lord of the Deep". In this environment, living things will evolve various incredible abilities to continue life. The toxin of "Secret Poison Stickleback" is one of them. This toxin can corrode the secret power and reduce the combat power of the secret pather. The degree of weakening increases with the poisoning time. Can be superimposed with the effect of "Great Dark Sky" absorbing secret power. Not bad, not bad! ?Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly. From the description, this talent is not particularly surprising, but it is more practical! Great Dark Skyhas the ability to weaken the enemy and strengthen itself. Coupled with this weird poison, it will definitely be able to exert an effect of one plus one greater than two. More importantly. ?It wasnt until this [Deep Sea Hunting] that Xia En truly realized the power of the [Deep Sea Devourer] profession. ?It is not just as simple as enhancing the overall quality, but also constantly plundering their abilities while devouring sea monsters to make up for one''s own shortcomings. ??Its like An evolution toward perfection! ?The last time he swallowed the [Macrophagic Sandworm], Xia Ens feeling was not so intuitive. But this time, when he made the choice, he truly felt that some invisible defect in his body had been filled. Swallow, then evolve Abandon the past, transcend yourself, and continue to transform. Xia En murmured to himself: "Is this what happened?" Somewhere, he seemed to vaguely understand the core of this profession of "Deep Sea Devourer". Suddenly, a line of prompts appeared on the panel. Career compatibility +10%! ?Any behavior or philosophy that is consistent with this secret career may increase career compatibility. ?However, Xia En inevitably had some strange worries. If this trend continues, I wont stop being a human being, right? But then I thought about it, it seemed like he was not a pure-blood human in the first place? ?Moreover, it is impossible for Xia En to give up and continue on the secret road. When the [Projected Body] is about to dissipate. He glanced at the deep-sea monster fish that had been wiped clean by eating, a look of expectation appeared in his eyes, and he couldn''t help but lick his lips. I wonder what kind of prey I will encounter next time? One month later. A sea area blocked by several hunting boats. The federal research vessel [Alice] dropped its anchor. On the deck, many crew members who looked like researchers were looking excitedly at the spherical instruments being lowered into the seawater. ?The clergy wearing robes and holding incense burners in their hands are walking near the cable, gently shaking the incense in their hands while praying for this spherical instrument. ?This device is called [Qianyuan], and it is the latest manned submersible developed by the Federation. It is made of various special and precious materials, supplemented by cutting-edge magic pattern technology, which greatly increases its ability to withstand pressure. It is said that it is one of only five submersibles capable of exploring waters below 10,000 meters. Today, what the [Qianyuan] wants to do is to conduct an in-depth investigation in this sea area. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Swarmed by the waves, the [Qianyuan] slowly submerged into the sea and gradually moved towards a deeper area. Inside the Qianyuan, the three explorers looked out at the seawater through a one-meter-thick special glass, feeling a little uneasy. ?This time the target of the "Qianyuan" is the sea area with a depth of about 10,000 meters. At that depth, even a slight malfunction may lead to their death. Rescue is something that does not exist at all. After all, they will be dead before help arrives. It can be said that the level of danger is frighteningly high when performing such a deep-diving mission. In those periods when the technology was not yet mature, the mortality rate was even more outrageous, which once attracted protests and opposition from some people. Only those who regard some things as more important than life will participate in such a plan without hesitation. The three explorers in the Qianyuan at this time are such people. As the depth of the sea water increases, the submersible gradually becomes quiet. In such a closed environment, the silence is undoubtedly unsettling. So, the man in military uniform among the three was the first to say with a wry smile: "Dr. Huo Xing, Priest William, shall we say something?" If I keep silent like this, I might be driven crazy. The person known as "Dr. Huo Xing" is a bald, middle-aged scientific researcher. Hearing the words of the man in military uniform, Huo Xing smiled: "Major Renault, be normal, just treat it as an ordinary field mission, don''t be so nervous." ?Besides, the cleric in robes shook his head and said: "Huo Xing, what you said is wrong." Major Reynold is not like you, who has participated in deep dive projects several times. Its normal to feel nervous when you experience the deep sea under 10,000 meters for the first time. ??This clergyman''s name is William, and his robe with black background and silver edge and blue stripes is the standard dress of the Deep Sea Church. ?Those wavy wave patterns are an alternative divine pattern and an extension of the storm goddesss power. Since most of the land in the world is submerged by sea water, the authority of the Storm Goddess has been greatly enhanced, making the influence of the Deep Sea Church almost cover the seven seas. The priests of the Storm Goddess have also become an indispensable group of people in navigation. ?Whether its avoiding terrible storms or fighting the invisible pollution of the sea, Storm Priests play an extremely important role. I think back then, even Duke Nova, who followed the Scarlet Lord, had many Storm Priests on board. ?It is not difficult to see their importance from this. On the other hand. Storm Priests are human beings too. After enduring invisible pollution and mental pressure again and again, they will inevitably be assimilated and affected. In general. The priests who travel with the ship must return to the shore after a period of time and undergo a period of purification and baptism in the Church of the Storm. Most of them could then recover and continue serving as chaplains on other ships. Some of them who have mental hidden dangers can only stay away from the sea and continue to serve the Deep Sea Church as priests on land for the rest of their lives. It can be said that these priests... are actually consumables in navigation. ?It is precisely because of this that the status of the Storm Priest has always been extremely high at sea. ??If Priest William hadn''t taken the initiative to ask for help, the Seven Seas Federation would not have been willing to send him to **** the "Qianyuan". ?However, Dr. Hosing''s relationship with the pastor was obviously not very harmonious. "Haha..." He quickly sneered and retorted: "Whether it is the first time or several times, since you have already sat in this submersible, maintaining a normal mind is the most correct choice." At the worst possible moment, fear and panic are meaningless. ??William frowned: "Humph, you guy always treats people as mechanical beings." How can humans always control their emotions? Huo Xing said lightly: "I can do it." "you!" Seeing that the two companions were about to get into a quarrel, Major Reno quickly advised them. You two, calm down! Calm down! We are still on a deep dive mission! Hearing this, William and Huo Xing glared at each other, turned away, and stopped talking. Seeing the two of them calm down, Renault breathed a sigh of relief and quietly wiped away the cold sweat. Honestly. ???Reynold can become a major of the Federation, and his own strength and talent are quite impressive. Fifth rank, the bloodline of the Sea Clan. Although in the deep sea of ??10,000 meters, it will still be crushed into a pulp, but at least it can last half a second longer. This is one of the reasons why the Federation chose him as an explorer. However, in front of William and Hosing, Renault could only act submissive. The reason is simple. William and Huo Xing are both sixth-level Secret Pathers! The former is a high-status Storm Priest, and even Renault''s superiors must treat him with courtesy. The latter is one of the developers of the "Qianyuan" and a well-known deep-sea scholar in the Federation. He has conducted in-depth research on the ecology and secrets of the deep sea. Compared with the two of them, isn''t Renault just a small shrimp? Furthermore, what makes Renault sweat the most is... ??Priest William and Dr. Hosing have always been at odds with each other. They have repeatedly expressed different views in public, and even had the experience of "discussing" with each other. ??Reno really couldn''t understand. Why did his superiors let them participate in this deep dive operation together when they knew this? ??Two sixth-level strong men, even if they are not good at combat, can destroy this submersible in a casual confrontation, right? Or does the boss have other motives for doing this? ?When people are nervous, they tend to have random thoughts. ?Especially for Renault, who had dived into the deep sea for the first time, he couldn''t stop his chaotic thoughts. The beeps emitted by the instruments continue to echo in the submersible. ??Reno glanced at the instrument and found that the number on it had jumped to "950." For ordinary submersibles, this depth is already quite remarkable. In other words, they have reached their limits. But for [Qianyuan], this is just the beginning of the deep diving journey. ?However, looking out through the transparent glass, the sea water has become pitch black. Only the high-power lights that come with the "Qianyuan" cast a faint light in the sea water. But at this time, Hosing said: "Major Reynolds, turn off the external lighting system." ??Reno was stunned for a moment: "Huh?" ?This time, William rarely refuted Huo Xing''s opinion, but took the initiative to explain. At this depth, the light will attract the attention of some sea creatures, and it may cause damage to the [Abyss]. Hearing this, Renault immediately turned off the external lighting system. ?However, in this case, the underwater world outside the glass window was left with only an irreversible darkness. ?It''s like being in a dark fog where you can''t see your fingers. It is also like being in a dead universe without a single star. Looking at this scene, Renault felt an indescribable fear. ?To put it bluntly, it is the fear of gradually drifting away from the civilized world and the incomparable insignificance of human beings. Major Reno. Priest William''s calm voice sounded in his ears. ?This voice carries the sound of the waves, as well as the secret power to calm people''s hearts. Treat by talking. ?This kind of "talking therapy" magic is widely used in the deep-sea church, and can quickly restore the sanity of contaminated people. I suggest you dont stare into the deep sea all the time. William advised: "While you are looking directly at the deep sea, the deep sea is also looking at you." ?Leno suddenly came back to his senses and responded with lingering fear: "Yes, I understand..." As a priest, William has the responsibility to maintain the mental health of his companions, so he spoke. How about this, lets have a chat? Major Reno, why did you take part in this deep dive trip? Reno thought for a while and said, "Because... I am a soldier." My boss asked me to come, so I came. It is my bounden duty to obey orders. Hearing this, Huo Xing sneered: "It''s a boring reason." You cant even control your own will. Even if you are promoted to a higher level, you are still just a weak person. ??Reynold was also a little unhappy after being stabbed by Huo Xing, so he asked in reply. Then why did you participate in this operation, doctor? Huo Xing looked at the deep sea outside the window and said enthusiastically: "Of course it''s for...the truth!" I have been exploring the mysteries of the sea, and how could I miss this opportunity to peer into the deep sea? I will give everything for the truth in the world! ?Reno frowned. Huo Xing''s words sounded like what a mad scientist would say. But the word "truth" gave him some other associations. ??Compared to Hosing, Renault had a better impression of William, so he turned around and asked: "Mr. William, what is your reason?" ?William touched his chin and smiled gently: "Maybe, I just want to see some existence, that''s all." Even if I only look up to you for a second, I will die without regrets. Listening to William''s words, Renault felt a little nervous for no reason, and felt that the smile on his face was particularly weird. ?Things that can only be seen in the deep sea, what could they be? After a brief conversation, the three of them returned to their original silence. I dont know how long this silence lasted. Until the number on the meter jumped to "8500!" ?Reno vaguely noticed that the [Abyss] seemed to have sunk into a trench and headed towards deeper waters. Suddenly at this time. ?DiDiDiDi! ?The instrument emits a sharp and short beep, like an alarm. Reno couldn''t help but look solemn and exclaimed: "Something, something is approaching [The Abyss]! It''s extremely fast!" ?William and Huo Xing also changed their expressions slightly, and turned their heads to look outside the thick glass almost at the same time. ?In the deep sea water, there is a huge creature swimming vaguely! (End of this chapter) Chapter 266 The [Profound Lord] who will eventually wake up Chapter 266: The Lord of the Underworld will finally wake up The seawater at a depth of 8,500 meters is an area that sunlight can never reach. Eternal darkness and dead silence are the main themes here. However, at this time, in this sea area that should have been a restricted area for life, giant things appeared moving. Through the solid glass window, the three of them could see some shadowy outlines emerging from the thick and deep sea water. ?It looked like some kind of slippery and strange tentacles, wandering silently in the darkness. What is that? ?Due to the narrow field of vision, Renault was unable to see the entirety of the giant thing clearly. But just such a startling glance made him feel a great sense of oppression, as if it was difficult to even breathe. Phobia of giant objects. Refers to the fear of huge creatures that are far larger than oneself. For no reason, Renault thought of this concept that was proposed by someone unknown. In the past, Renault felt that he did not have such symptoms. But when he caught a glimpse of the existence outside the glass window, Renault realized... That''s because none of the "giant things" he had seen before were huge enough! ?Only in the face of those truly behemoths can human beings understand their own smallness and weakness from the bottom of their hearts. ?However, when Renault turned around and looked, he found that the other two companions in the submersible were not as panicked as he was. Just the opposite. ??Dr. Huo Xing''s eyes suddenly burst into light, and he stared intently into the depths of the sea. ?It looked like he was not observing a giant beast in the deep sea, but like a lustful evil spirit spying on a beautiful woman. ??Priest William also did not show fear on his face. Instead, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes showed desire and excitement, and he recited something in a low voice. Seeing this scene, Renault couldn''t help but feel a little confused. ??Is this the reaction that normal people should have when encountering a deep-sea monster? Is it his problem, or is it the problem of William and the others? ??Reynold was certainly not a stupid person to be able to become a major of the Federation. He thought about it for a moment, and a sudden realization suddenly arose in his heart ?William and Huo Xings participation in this deep-diving operation was definitely not just for scientific research purposes. Only myself stupidly got involved and was completely kept in the dark. ! ! Suddenly, Renault heard some unusual noises. ??Moreover, this sound comes from inside the diving cabin! ?Leno suddenly felt his throat was a little dry and turned his head stiffly, looking in the direction of the sound. The handle that controls the gate is rotating on its own. But he blinked, and the gate returned to its original shape, motionless. "This is?" Reno suddenly felt horrified, and asked William and William: "Have you heard any strange noises?" I seemed to hear someone knocking on the cabin, and someone was turning the handle of the gate..." ?His tone was urgent, revealing strong uneasiness. This is a manifestation of sanity constantly falling and being on the verge of madness. ?William glanced at Renault and said in a soft, soothing voice. Major Reno, calm down. It is extremely normal to have auditory and visual hallucinations when witnessing this thing from the deep sea. Then, William whispered to himself again. However, even a specially trained and determined explorer like you is feeling so much pressure. It seems that the rumors about this trench are indeed true. Under the influence of divine magic, Renault barely managed to maintain a clear mind, but he could feel that the protective effect of this divine power was gradually weakening. ?Even so, Renault couldn''t help but ask. What rumor is it? At this time, Huo Xing next to him said: "According to legend, [The Lord of the Deep] divided his flesh and blood among his nine descendants before falling into a long sleep." And these descendants continued to multiply and grow, and then there were [Secrets of the Deep Sea] in various places in the deep sea. However, after generations of reproduction, the bloodline of [Yousuis heirs] is actually diluting and weakening. Some [Subjects of Yousui] can defeat even second- and third-level mystical practitioners. "But those [first-generation species] are still the closest existence to the [Deep Master]. They live in the deep sea that no one knows, and seem to be waiting for a certain moment to arrive." Hearing these words, Renault opened his eyes slightly and murmured in disbelief. So, we dived into this trench just to... William confessed directly: "Yes, we are here precisely for the [First Generation Seed] of [The Lord of the Deep]." To be honest, after learning the true purpose of William and Hosing, Renault felt even more incredible. Just to see the legendary [first-generation species], the two of them were willing to risk their lives and dive into the deep sea ten thousand meters below, regardless of the possibility of death. This...what is this picture? It is understandable that Huo Xing is willing to devote his life to scientific research. ?Then as the priest of the Church of the Deep Sea, why does William care so much about the "Lord of the Deep"? C At this moment, the cabin of the [Qianyuan] suddenly trembled. ??Reno knew that this was the effect of the fluctuations in the water flow outside the submersible, and he couldn''t help but look panicked. ?At this depth, if the [Abyss] is attacked by a deep-sea monster, even if there is only a little damage, there is absolutely no reason to survive. At this time, William and Huo Xing''s eyes were still outside the glass window, and their expressions changed slightly. Reynold''s peripheral vision glanced outside the window and saw the existence appearing in the sea water. ?That is an extremely thick tentacle. ?This tentacle alone is thicker than the diameter of the [Qianyuan]. ??William shouted: "Quick! Turn on the external lighting system!" ?Reno subconsciously did as he said. As the light spread in the sea water, the three people were able to see ?The surface of the wrist has a fine structure like fine metal scales, and faint dark blue lines can be seen between the rough and complex protrusions. ?Those lines faintly form the shape of eyeballs. This patternthis pattern ??Dr. Huo Xing murmured excitedly: "It is indeed the first generation species of [Netherworld Lord]!" There was madness in his eyes, and he began to write down the patterns with pen and paper as he muttered words. He also wrote down a large number of strange formulas, as if he was calculating and deriving something. ?Looking carefully, there is some kind of waterfall-like data flow flowing through the surface of Huo Xing''s eyeballs. ?Seeing this scene, William frowned suddenly and took a deep look at Huo Xing. There is actually murderous intent in these eyes! ?William took a deep breath and asked coldly. I guessed it right, Huo Xing, you joined the [Truth Society], right? [Truth Society!] ??Reno''s expression changed in an instant, and he looked at Huo Xing with vigilance. ?Of course he has heard of the name of the [Truth Society] and knows that its members are all unscrupulous lunatics. In fact, there is often only a thin line between madman and genius. Therefore, the more scholars who have made great achievements in their respective fields, the more likely they are to fall into the arms of the [Truth Society]. When Hosing said earlier that he was "willing to sacrifice everything for the truth," Reno had vague doubts. It wasnt until he heard Williams words at this time that Renault was completely sure of this. ?Unexpectedly, when faced with the questioning of the two men, Huo Xing directly confessed: "Yes, I have become a believer in ''truth'' a long time ago." He looked at the two of them coldly: "So, are you going to attack me?" Dont forget, this is under the deep sea! As long as you dare to take action, we will all die here. Huo Xing was obviously sure that William would not start a war at the bottom of the sea, so he exposed his identity unscrupulously. ? He ??has some special means of transmitting information. He only needs to pass on the data analysis of the [first-generation species], and his mission will be completed. Speaking, Huo Xing stared at William again and sneered. Besides, as a believer of the [Netherworld Religion], does your purpose of participating in the deep-diving project be simple? You have the nerve to talk to me? [The Nether Sect?] Leno was stunned again. The reputation of this sect is not much less than that of the Truth Society. What they believe in is the [Deep Lord] under the deep sea. But in ordinary peoples perception, this is obviously a dangerous and weird cult! There are only three people in this ship [Qianyuan]. It turns out that one is a mad scientist from the [Truth Society], and the other is a cultist from the [Netherworld Sect]. Are you the only honest person in the Federation? ?Leno''s expression was stiff and he felt a little numb. You say that I am a believer of [Youshu Sect], you have to show proof! William said calmly: "Otherwise, this would be a provocation to the Deep Sea Church!" Huo Xin snorted coldly: "Hmph! Who doesn''t know that you [Netherworld Sect] and the Deep Sea Church have the same origin?" Perhaps, even todays archbishop is a member of the [Netherworld Sect], right? Isnt it that you came to the deep sea to witness the descendants of [Lord of the Deep] with your own eyes? ?William fell silent, his eyes becoming colder. Besides, Renault felt a chill in his heart. He is just a young major, and he doesnt want to know so many secrets. According to common sense, the more someone knows, the more likely he is to be silenced! ?Just when Renault was frightened, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly saw some unusual scenes, and exclaimed. Wait a minute...look, there seems to be something behind this [first-generation species]? Hearing this, William and the two temporarily calmed down the tense atmosphere and turned to look out the window. I saw that in the chaotic and dark sea water, the huge figure of the [First Generation Species] was looming. Its shape is somewhat similar to a giant squid. Under the fusiform torso, there are many flexible tentacles, which are incredibly large. But behind it, there followed a dark and uncertain shadow. The body size of the black shadow is much smaller than that of the [first-generation species], but compared to ordinary people, it still needs to be described as "huge". The shadows launched raids on the [First Generation Species] again and again. ??It seems that every collision will tear a piece of flesh and blood from the [first-generation species]. As for the attack of the black shadow, [the first generation species] also tried their best to resist, but it seemed to be of no avail. Looking at that scene, it was as if they were chasing and hunting this [first-generation species]! ?William and Huo Xing both stared at this scene with their eyes widened in shock. ?That is the [First Generation Seed] among [The Descendants of Yousui]! The deep sea is their home! What kind of existence has the ability to hunt the first-generation descendants of [The Lord of the Deep] in such deep seas? Leno was also shocked and his scalp was numb, and he murmured. "Why does that figure look more and more like...a person?" Those are the limbs, thats the head "people?" ?William shook his head and said as if he was under self-hypnosis: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" That is the power of [Lord of the Underworld] ?Just as Huo Xing said, William is actually a deep believer hidden in the Church of the Deep Sea. Thats why he couldnt accept even more that the [First Generation Species] of [The Lord of the Deep] were being hunted by some kind of being. The other side. ?Housin stared intently at the black shadow behind the [First Generation Species], a strange look flashing in his eyes. ??Whether it is a human or other creature, as long as its information and data can be recorded, it will be of great help to the research of the [Truth Society]. But in the next moment. ??As the undercurrent surged, the glass window in front of the three people suddenly fell into darkness. "Um?" Huo Xing frowned: "What''s going on?" ?He looked at the darkness outside the window, and an indescribable feeling of fear and rejection surged into his heart almost instantly. It is as if a person is unarmed and suddenly encounters a fierce beast on a narrow road, and his instinctive hair stands on end. ?Soon, Huo Xing suddenly discovered that the darkness was not due to a lighting malfunction. Instead There is a corner of a figure blocking the window of the [Qianyuan]. As the figure moved, a huge eye slowly appeared outside the glass. A giant in the deep sea is looking at them through the window! ?In this brief moment, Huo Xing''s eyes almost stared to the limit, and turbulent thoughts roared in his mind. He didn''t know if he felt scared now, and even temporarily lost the ability to judge his own emotions. He could only watch helplessly as this giant stared at him with eyes from the abyss. Incomprehensible noises, unimaginable lights and shadows flooded into Huo Xing''s mind one after another. The more you see and know, the easier it is to go crazy. Youyou are ?Housin''s eyeballs burst open, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes. He wanted to say something else, but William on the side would not give him such a chance. With a "chi" sound, Huo Xing''s head was cut off by William''s sword. ?When William looked at the giant figure outside the glass window, he showed an extremely fanatical expression, and even fell to his knees, uttering some words like babble. Lord, are you finally coming back? Because he felt that this giant also carried the power of the "Lord of the Deep". Obviously, this battle that took place in the deep sea was actually the devouring of each other by the [Heirs of Yousui]. And when they devour other members of the same species, doesn''t it mean... Will [Lord of the Deep] become whole again and wake up from his long sleep? (End of this chapter) Chapter 267 Destroy the truth! Career fit 100! Chapter 267 Destroy the truth! 100% career fit! At this moment. Reno''s brain almost lost the ability to think. The dark sea nearly 10,000 meters away, weird hallucinations that constantly appear and dissipate, the true identities of the two companions revealed, the first generation of [Sirs of Yousui], and... ?Suspected humanoid deep-sea hunter. ?All of this gave him an unprecedented impact. So much so that when Renault saw Huo Xing''s eyes exploded and his head was cut off by Priest William''s sword, he didn''t react immediately. Eh? ??Dr. Hosing, died like this? Even though the smell of blood has spread inside the submersible, Renault still lacks a sense of reality. Even doubted whether this was his hallucination. ?But at this time, the eye outside the glass window had moved away from the three people and looked at the fleeing [Yousui Descendants] again. ?As the light shone back into the glass of the "Qianyuan", both Renault and William felt that the pressure on their bodies suddenly relaxed. This seems to mean that they have passed the most dangerous stage. ?However, immediately afterwards, an even more turbulent change came in this deep sea of ??silence. The Abyss was shaking, and violent shaking came from under its feet, causing the furnishings in the cabin to make a series of clanking sounds. Leno held on to the wall beside him to prevent himself from falling. ?He was surprised and said: "What happened?" ?DiDiDiDiDiDi! ??The rapid sirens were almost in a series, and various instruments lit up with red lights. It seemed like a huge storm was raging outside. Its just that this is the deep sea. There is naturally no storm outside, only the rapid undercurrent. ?? William still maintained some rationality for the time being and murmured: "The confrontation between them has reached a fever pitch." Since both parties carry the power of the [Netherworld Lord], the identity of the prey and the hunter may be reversed at any time. Whoever wins in the end, William will not be surprised. In a trance. ??Some kind of low, depressing strange sound came from the deep sea, as if it was roaring and roaring, fighting against some huge beast trying to devour itself. ??This is a roar originating from the depths of the soul, so Renault and the two heard it very clearly. Suddenly, many thick tentacles stretched out from the rear of the [First Generation Species]. ?Those large and small suckers are covered with countless sharp teeth, which are constantly rubbing and chewing, and making incomprehensible whispers. Immediately, these tentacles blocked the huge figure from all directions, about to tie up his limbs and strangle his neck, like countless giant pythons winding up. ?Just the force of the wrist squeezing is enough to turn a whale into a pulp. Is that giant going to lose? ?Seeing the tentacles that covered the sky and the sun, Renault couldn''t think of any way to resist, and couldn''t help but whisper to himself. ?William looked at the scene outside intently and had similar thoughts. But just the next moment. From all over the body of the giant shadow, one after another deep and dark tentacles were protruded. ?Those tentacles are darker than those of the [First Generation Species], and seem to be composed of purer secret power. ?Two similar but different tentacles collided violently, wrestling, entangled, and biting each other in the sea water. ?This confrontation was extremely tragic and cruel. ??The tentacles were constantly being broken and broken, and the dirty and sticky flesh was scattered in the agitation of the sea water, making the vision of both Renault and Renault extremely cloudy. The already small [Qianyuan] was helplessly drifting with the current, rolling up and down. Giants and sea monsters are fighting to the death in the deep sea far away from human civilization. The two people in the "Qianyuan" are the only spectators of this battle. ?The oscillation of the sea water lasted for an unknown amount of time. ?It seemed like only a second had passed, but it also seemed like a century. Fortunately, the quality of the [Qianyuan] was indeed excellent, so it was not damaged by the aftermath, and the two of them survived. ?Reno shook his head and forced himself to wake up. who won? ?He endured the discomfort and looked out the window. I saw that the surrounding seawater was littered with fragments of flesh and blood. ??The huge shadowy figure still stands there, but the [First Generation Species] has disappeared. The tentacles extending from the giant''s body continuously swallowed up the twisted and rolled flesh and blood, dragging them into the giant''s body and performing a gruesome "digestion." at the same time. ??Reynold and William both felt that some kind of indescribable transformation was taking place in the giant''s body. That is an evolution towards perfection. It also seems to have received some kind of complement, moving from incompleteness to completeness. ?His body became darker and his temperament became more profound, so that his appearance in the eyes of both people changed. ?His smoke-like body surface surged and gave birth to countless tentacles, hands and feet, eyes and mouthpieces. Looking closely, it seems to be just a confused hallucination. You swallowed up the "Yousui descendants" (the first generation species)! Ship Soul Experience +5%! Career compatibility +8%! Talent "Swallowing Evolution" is activated! Comprehensive quality: 9.09.5! Talent: Body of the Deep (Precious) (Epic)! Description: Your body is more adapted to actions in the deep sea, greatly reducing the impact of water pressure. Sea water will also provide you with physical strength and secret power blessings. Skill: Deep Touch (Epic)(Legendary)! Description: Devouring each other is the way for the descendants of Yousui to become complete. They will become stronger and more active during this process, and their bloodline will gradually sublimate. When you devour all the first-generation species, maybe an unexpected transformation will occur, right? Many hints flashed before Xia En''s eyes. ??The surging and vivid secret power is flowing endlessly in his body, and the abundant power fills every corner of his body, and it is even increasing! ? And this time, Xia En clearly felt that his body was transforming bit by bit, as if he was undergoing some kind of leap in life levels. The deep sea environment is no longer an obstacle. The surrounding seawater seemed to welcome his arrival and provide him with a steady stream of support. The connection between those tentacles and Xia En is also becoming closer. Now, he can already control [Deep Touch] like an arm. Not only that, the texture on the surface of [Profound Touch] is also more complete than before. Its like...[Yousui Descendants] some more essential things in the body have been cracked and absorbed by them. After a while. ??The transformation in Xia En''s body gradually calmed down. He clenched his fists, feeling the power in his body that was so full that it was almost overflowing, and he couldn''t help but smile. ?In this month, his strength has grown tremendously. The overall quality has soared directly from 6.1 to the current 9.5! Among them, the new talent [Deep Sea Hunting] plays a great role. He can hunt random prey in the deep sea every day. Sometimes they are huge strange fish, sometimes they are deformed starfish, and giant squids like this one are not uncommon. ?However, Xia En also found that as the number of hunts increased, the depth of the water he was in seemed to be increasing. ?Like this time, we actually encountered a submersible! Its really rare! Speaking of which, I didnt expect that this big squid is actually a [Yousui Descendant]? Xia En was a little surprised. This was the first time he had encountered such an existence in a month. Also, what does the suffix primary species mean? Is it some kind of extraordinary species? ?Xia En thought for a moment, but after getting no result, he stopped thinking about it. ?No matter what, He has been eaten by Himself. ?The taste is quite good. Thinking of this, Xia En licked his lips, and an unspeakable desire arose in his heart. He had a premonition that every time he swallowed a [First Generation Seed] from [Yousui''s Descendants], he would complete a special sublimation. ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart for the time being, Xia En turned his head to look at the submersible floating in the sea. In fact, he had cast a glance at the submersible earlier just out of curiosity. ? Anyone who sees a submersible with lights on in the sea will take a curious look at it, right? Not to mention, Xia En also felt that someone in the submersible was staring at him. Hmm? [Xinglang] logo? ??Xia En''s eyes swept over and found a unique emblem on the corner of the submersible. Is this a Federation submersible? Think about it too. On the Seven Seas, only the Federation has the financial resources and technology to launch such an operation to explore the deep sea. ?Shaan looked in through the glass window and couldn''t help but be a little surprised. There are three people in the diving cabin. A man in military uniform stood there dumbly, as if he had lost his response to the outside world. ?Another priest in robes was kneeling on the ground, muttering something. There was also a headless corpse, twisted and lying in the corner, with blood flowing everywhere. Um? Why are people dead? ??This doesnt seem like a way to die if you are affected by the battle, right? Xia En was quite puzzled. He was busy fighting the [Sir of Yousui] before, so he only took a quick glance and naturally had no idea what was going on inside the [Qianyuan]. Is it possible that the man was deformed due to excessive mental pressure when he was diving into the deep sea and was contaminated by the secret power..." Others had no choice but to execute him for their own safety? Based on the situation in the diving cabin, Xia En came to a very reasonable guess. ?He was completely unaware that the initiator of this situation was actually himself! At this time. Some fragmentary, indistinct whispers came to his ears. The great descendant of Your most humble servant salutes you Hearing this, Xia En was stunned. ?His eyes fell on the man wearing a priest''s robe in the cabin. Combined with the pious and fanatical demeanor, it is not difficult to guess that these words came from the other party''s mouth. Most of them use some secret technique to transmit the words directly into the mind. Its just Descendant of the Deep? The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly: "What does he think of me?" ??This was the first time that Xia En heard someone call him that. But then I thought about it, in this dark and lightless deep sea far away from human civilization, after witnessing the battle between him and the [Sir of Yousui], it is normal to mistake him for some special existence, right? ?However, from the words of the priest, it was not difficult for Xia En to tell that the other party was obviously a believer of the [Netherworld Sect]. Wait a minute, how come there are Netherworld believers in the Federations submersible? Xia En realized something strange belatedly: "Moreover, what he is wearing is clearly the priest''s uniform of the Deep Sea Church, right?" ifier ?Xia En took a breath and realized that things were not simple. Obviously, just like the Hui Sect has left its followers in various sea areas. The Nether Sect is also quietly lurking in various areas of the Federation. ?Perhaps The same is true for [Truth Society]? After all, the Federation is essentially a fairly loose organization and does not impose excessive restrictions on members beliefs. Even the vampires who believe in the Scarlet Lord can have a place in the Federation. There is no reason that [Yusu Sect], [Hui Jiao] and [Truth Society] cannot do it. ?While Shane was thinking about these questions, William''s hoarse voice sounded again. Please let melistento your teachings Teaching? ?Shaan blinked. ?This was the first time he had heard of such a request. ?It is not difficult to guess that this Netherworld believer came to the deep sea with the help of the Federations submersible just to contact the [Netherworld Descendants] here. To admire their true appearance is one thing, and to get some kind of revelation from them is another thing. This is a bit like the process in which the Lord of Radiance sends an oracle to the believers. However, the legendary "Lord of the Underworld" is in a state of eternal sleep, so believers can only get certain information from the "Sirs of the Underworld". ?Now, the giant squid-like [Yousui''s descendant] has been eaten by Xia En. ??The "teaching" that William longs for, isn''t it Xia En''s will? ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s mind suddenly came alive. Previously, he had used the "oracle" to provoke a fight between Huijiao and the Truth Society. ?This time, wouldnt it be possible to drag the [Netherworld Sect] into trouble as well? ?Hence, Xia En responded to William with his thoughts and whispered in his heart. Only the master canreturn A vague sound, like thousands of voices overlapping together, echoed in William''s mind. In an instant, William burst into tears. He finally heard the voice of the descendants of the Lord! This is the supreme gift for a profound believer. And the content of the words shocked him greatly. To eliminate the truth, do you mean to eliminate the [Truth Society]? After destroying them, [Lord of the Deep] can return? ?William knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed to the ground, and murmured ecstatically. I will follow your teachings! The next moment. Xia En''s ship soul power was exhausted, and the huge figure disappeared into the deep sea, as if it had never appeared. Only the "Qianyuan" is floating here alone. It is conceivable that when William returns to the sea, this news will cause an uproar among the [Netherworld Sect]. Xia En was very curious about what happened next, but unfortunately, he could not witness it with his own eyes. And right now, he has more important things to do. Shaan opened the panel. Secret Path Occupation: Devourer of the Deep Career fit: 100%! (End of this chapter) Chapter 268 Changes in [Rhine Secret Realm] Chapter 268 [Changes in the Secret Realm of Rhine] After this [Deep Sea Hunting], Xia En''s compatibility finally reached 100%. This means that he is about to start the fifth level promotion ritual! Even after he finished the [submersible] state and returned to the captain''s cabin, Xia En felt that he could break through at any time, and the faint sound of waves could be heard in his ears. ?However, Xia En did not start the promotion directly, but temporarily suppressed the urge. On the one hand, he still has some trivial matters to deal with. On the other hand, it is the particularity of the fifth-level promotion ritual. During this period, although Xia En was always at sea, he had not been to any island. ??However, with the help of the magical relic [Glory Crystal Mirror], he can learn all kinds of information about the Seven Seas without leaving home. It includes some key points of the fifth-level promotion ritual. After being uprooted by Xia En in the [City of Giant Woods], Mrs. Ji Ya, codenamed "Nuan Xue", treated him with more respect and a hint of awe. Speak everything you know, and speak everything you know. It was from her mouth that Xia En learned- The fifth level is a watershed among those on the secret path. After the fifth level, the Mystic Path can use the power of the domain, and this represents a new level of control over the secret power. Therefore, the promotion rituals of the fifth level often take a form different from those of the previous levels. The content of the trial tasks will also change. Compared with some actual tasks, it focuses more on the test of the control of secret power. Xia En was a little confused when he heard this statement at the time. He didn''t quite understand what "a test of the control of secret power" meant. Fortunately, Mrs. Ji Ya explained: "The fifth-level trial mission may require you to use your secret power to do certain things." For example, it can be divided into hundreds of threads, or it can be condensed into a large net. "If you can''t do it, you won''t be able to get out of the promotion ritual for a while, and it won''t be considered a promotion failure until the secret power is exhausted." Finally, Ji Ya gave a conclusion. Therefore, the fifth-level promotion ritual often takes much longer than the previous levels. It can be as short as a few days, or as long as several months! Some mystics go into seclusion and practice hard just to get through this difficult time. After learning this, Xia En would naturally not rush to start a breakthrough. ?Soon, Shane walked out of the captain''s cabin and gathered the crew together. Compared with a month ago, the mental outlook of all the crew members has changed a lot. After experiencing the deep-sea rush in [City of Giant Woods] last time, even the laziest string song on the ship gave me a sense of urgency in my heart. They all realize that the enemy they will face may be even more powerful than the [Giant Wood God]. Among them, Joey and Feiya have unique bloodlines. After the blood in their bodies is stimulated and transformed, their strength increases at a speed that is actually shocking. Even if you dont practice, you are gradually getting stronger every day. Only compared with Xia En, he seems not so outstanding. ?This month of hard training has allowed them to take a big step forward, and the distance between them and the fourth level has been continuously shortened. What surprised Xia En the most was actually An''s change. As an immortal species like an elf, his advancement in rank should have relied on the accumulation of time. However, the extent of his enhancement actually exceeded that of Joey and Feiya. Obviously, An Zai is getting stronger as Xia En gets stronger. But this magnitude cant help but make Xia En a little suspicious... ?Is this really the effect that [Knight]s secret path should have? ??If you are bound to a servant master, you can follow the other person unlimitedly and become stronger. Then this ability is too buggy, right? ?Shaan guessed that this might be related to other secrets in An. ??As for Vivian, she still looked like a lazy salted fish from before, and she floated to the deck sleepily. Its hard to imagine why a ghost could be so lazy! Obviously she doesnt do anything at all! ?Finally, Xia En''s eyes fell on Yan Yan, who was wearing a black robe on the edge, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Since leaving [City of Giant Woods], Yan Yan has become much more taciturn, and his face no longer has the same sunny smile as before. Sometimes, he seemed to be immersed in his own memories, unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Occasionally, Shane saw struggle and pain in his eyes. Obviously, not all of those past memories are good ones. Its just that Yan Yan can only rely on Yan Yan to overcome and deal with this kind of thing. The help that outsiders can provide is, after all, very limited. ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En said to the crew: "In the next period of time, I will go to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for retreat and start the fifth-level promotion ritual." This was a decision he made after careful consideration. First of all, with the protection of the [Moon Ying Tribe] and the Tree Tribe, Xia En''s safety in the [Rhine Secret Realm] is guaranteed. Secondly, due to the existence of [Curse of Filth]. Xia En is on board the Black Swan, and may be attacked by the Apostles of Filth. ?Of course he is not afraid when he is awake, but in the promotion ritual, once it is interrupted, the consequences will be quite serious. Since the [Rhine Secret Realm] is not in this world, it can avoid the prying eyes of the [Filthy Apostles]. Coupled with the abundant vitality in [Rhine Secret Realm], it is suitable as a retreat place for breakthrough. Fifth level promotion ritual! ??Joy exclaimed in a low voice: "So fast!" As expected of Mr. Captain! ?Although the crew members had long known that Xia En was advancing rapidly, they were still secretly amazed by the fact that he was promoted every one or two months. If word spreads, I dont know how many people will be shocked. Even the most talented Mystic in the Seven Seas may not be promoted so fast, right? ?After being surprised, Joey asked again: "Mr. Captain, how long will it take to be in seclusion?" Shaan thought for a while and said, Im not sure either. If everything goes well, maybe I can be promoted in one day. If things dont go well, it might take two or three months. Two or three months ??Joy''s expression changed slightly. She couldn''t imagine life without seeing the captain for two or three months. Xia En continued: "During my retreat, the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] will be left to you." When encountering an enemy, make your own judgment whether to fight or flee based on the situation at that time. If you really encounter a strong enemy that you cannot fight against, you can abandon the ship and escape if necessary. Xia En''s tone was serious: "Keep the green hills here, so you don''t have to worry about running out of firewood." For him, the [Black Swan] is naturally an extremely important partner. But these crew members, are they not his companions? It is not shameful to run away when you know you are outnumbered. No, we will definitely defend the [Black Swan]! ??Joy said with stern eyes: "Mr. Captain, please don''t look down on us." Feiya also nodded: "Captain Xia En, please don''t worry." Even Xian Ge screamed: "The great bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya, will protect this ship!" Xia En nodded: "That''s good." He still had great confidence in his crew. Otherwise, he would not dare to go to the [Rhine Secret Realm] to retreat like this. ?Finally, Xia En looked at Yan Yan in the corner and said, "Yan Yan, come here, I have something to say to you." Yan Yan was startled, but quickly followed him. The two of them walked to the captain''s cabin. Xia En closed the door, turned around and said, "Yan Yan, after I retreat, you will be the strongest person on the Black Swan." In some cases, you need to make the final decision. Yan Yan''s eyes changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Captain Xia En, you should be able to tell that during this period, I have thought of many past memories." Perhaps, I will become someone I dont even recognize myself. Is it really okay to hand over the [Black Swan] to me? Xia En looked into Yan Yans eyes and said softly. I just want to ask you one question. Do you still think of me as your captain? Yan Yan said without hesitation: "Of course!" Thats enough. Xia En said calmly: "As for your past, although I am a little curious, it is your private matter after all." If you are willing to share with me, I will be a listening ear. If you dont want to say it, thats okay. After saying that, Xia En smiled and patted Yan Yan on the shoulder. Okay, in the next few days, you will be the acting captain of the [Black Swan]. Dont let me down. Immediately, without any hesitation, Xia En directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and opened the door to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. As the silver light gradually dissipated. ?The brief dizziness quickly faded away, and the fresh and natural air entered the nasal cavity. Xia Ens feet stepped on the solid soil, and what he saw was mostly vibrant green. But in this emerald green, there are also many other colors. In fact, compared with when we left [Sand Island], the scene in [Rhine Secret Realm] is completely new! After the [Moon Yong Clan] and the tree people migrated into this secret realm one after another, they began to build their new home in full swing. Even in the outer areas, there are still tribal-style habitat camps, which are primitive and backward. But in the central area, the prototype of a city appeared! ?More than a month ago, the Yongyue tribe discovered a special kind of gray-white stone in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. It is like gold and iron, but does not rust, and is very suitable as a building material. ?This kind of stone even contains a lot of secret power and can be used to draw magic patterns. ?Shaan compared the stones in the Seven Seas and found that none could match it. ?Hence, Shane simply named it [Rhinestone]. Without Xia Ens orders, the [Moon Yong Clan] showed their own initiative and used rhinestones to build cities. During this process, Xia En provided some technical support and used the knowledge of Seven Seas to plan the city. ??The tree people who moved in later served as free labor, excavating stones from the mines and transporting them. I have to say. After the tree people gradually regained their strength, they were indeed said to be extremely powerful, hard-working and hard-working. ??This is not a war machine, it is simply a holy body made of earth and wood! It is really easy to use for infrastructure construction. ?In addition, on the edge of the urban outline, there are farmlands that have just been reclaimed. A variety of crops are grown there, including grain and fruits. The young shoots were sprouting with vitality not long after they were pulled out of the soil. Xia En still retains some of the habits of the Chinese people in his previous life, and he has a good impression of farming. In addition, the [Yongyue Clan] did have food needs, so they opened up such a production area. In the future, he also plans to expand the scale of planting and plant some magic potions containing secret powers. In another corner of the city, there is a newly built college. ?Of course, this college is still very sloppy and rough. It is so small that it can only be described as a "school", and there are even fewer children attending it. ??However, Xia En believes that this is the top priority of [Rhine Secret Realm]. ?Although the number of the Moon Ying clan is still very small now, it will definitely continue to grow in the future, and perhaps other races will come to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Education is the way to get them out of ignorance. ?Perhaps, in the future, the [Moon Yong Clan] will also be able to give birth to strong men in secret professions such as scholars and mages. Shane is looking forward to that day. Having said that, Xia En was a little surprised that after such a long time of development. The exploration degree of [Rhine Secret Realm] is only 8%! You can imagine the vastness of this secret realm. Lord Xia En! ?Suddenly, some members of the Yongyue clan saw Xia En''s appearance and exclaimed with joy. Its Lord Xia En whos here! Many young men from the Yongyue tribe gathered around him happily, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration. ?Every Yongyue tribesman knows that it was Xia En who took them out of that desolate land and allowed them to live in this new home. Lord Xia En, as the divine son in the prophecy, is also their great benefactor! This kind of kindness can only be repaid by generations of repayment. Lord Holy Son! Sha Jingjing saw Xia En from a distance and trotted over excitedly, with a joyful smile on her face. ?For some reason, Xia En remembered the scene when his dog rushed up to greet him when he returned home. Lord Holy Son, you are here. Sha Jingjing''s tail swung behind her like an electric fan, her ears stood up high, and she looked at Xia En eagerly, as if to say, "Touch me, touch me, touch me quickly!" ?Xia En couldn''t hold it back for a moment and stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head. Challenge of not picking up the dog when you go home! In less than a second, it ended in failure. Woo woo Sha Jingjing purred comfortably from her throat, making the Yongyue clan members next to her envious. Master Xia Ens technique is so skillful, you will definitely feel comfortable! While dusting Jingjing, Xia En noticed that there were some blood stains on her body that did not belong to her, as if she had just experienced a battle. The hunting team following Sha Jingjing arrived at Xia En''s side. Some of them were carrying the corpses of some strange creatures. Obviously, this is a native creature in [Rhineland]. Sha Jingjing pointed at one of them and said to Xia En, "Lord Shengzi, this is the prey I caught. I will bake it for you later!" Looking at her expression, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. When I first met Sha Jingjing, I thought she was quite aloof. How come... she has become like this now? With emotion, Xia En did not forget the purpose of his trip and said directly. Sha Jingjing, find me a safe place, I have important things to do. (End of this chapter) Chapter 269 Fifth level promotion ritual! Chapter 269 Fifth-level promotion ritual! After a while. Sha Jingjing took Xia En to a big tree that was seven or eight meters high. The trunk of this big tree is dark red, and if you look closely, it has a translucent texture. ?Fibers like blood vessels grow under the bark of the tree, and there seems to be thick blood flowing slowly through them, which looks extremely mysterious. ??There is also an indescribable pleasant smell that spreads around the big tree. ?This big tree is the [Crimson Ancient Tree] planted in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. ?Under the abundant vitality of the [Rhine Secret Realm], even without watering blood and using corpses as nutrients, the growth of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is extremely gratifying. Although it is still far from its heyday, it also shows its uniqueness compared to other tree species. At this time, the branches and leaves of the big tree swayed slightly, as if to welcome Xia En''s arrival. ??Xia En touched the trunk of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and sighed: "I haven''t seen you for just a few days, and you have grown so big." From under the tree trunk, there was a vague feeling of kindness. Crimson Ancient Treehas its own spiritual existence. Although it may not be able to communicate normally like the ship spirit of [Black Swan]. But simply conveying emotions can still be done. This is it. Sha Jingjing pointed to a small house under the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and said to Xia En. This area has been regarded as our familys new holy land. Lord Holy Son, you can rest assured to practice in seclusion here, we will protect your safety! Sha Jingjing showed a resolute expression like a "loyal dog guarding the hospital" and vowed. Whoever wants to hurt you must step over my body first! Xia En looked around the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and found that a new altar had been built here, which was somewhat similar to the ancestor altar of the [Yongyue Clan]. Several totem poles moved from [Island of Sand] stood around the altar. Obviously, even after arriving in their new homeland, the [Yongyue Clan] did not give up their beliefs and traditions. Thats right, you can also see the moon at night in [Rhine Secret Realm]. This time, Xia En was quite surprised. He didnt pay attention to this problem at first, but after discovering the existence of the moon, he realized... Not only the moon, but also the sun in [Rhine Secret Realm] is the same as the Seven Seas. It''s just that their rotation trajectories and rules are slightly different. But in the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm], this was not the case. ?This seems to illustrate the special nature of [Rhine Secret Realm] in disguise. Thinking further, Xia En couldn''t help but have a question. In what form do the sun, moon and stars in the sky exist on the sky? Xia En originally thought that the celestial bodies in this world were the same as those in his previous life. They were spherical planets, rotating according to their own laws and suspended in the vast universe. But if this is the case, why can we see the same sun and moon in the [Rhine Secret Realm]? The more you know, the more you understand your ignorance. Xia En vaguely sensed that there might be secrets about the world hidden behind this. ?However, this is obviously not the time to explore these secrets. Xia En calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart, and after saying a few words to Sha Jingjing, he walked into the small house under the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. The furnishings in the hut are very simple, with only a wooden bed. Xia En didn''t take it seriously either. He sat on the bed and concentrated, feeling the rhythm of the secret power in his body. Gradually, invisible waves washed away from the underworld. The sound of fine water flow and cascading waves fill the surroundings, bringing a strangely quiet atmosphere. This is an invitation from the [Secret Sea]. Shane chose to accept it happily. The next moment. The illusory sea water surged up and enveloped him gently. His senses were withdrawn from this body, and he continued to fall into the deep sea... Darkness. The surroundings were pure and absolute darkness. There is not even a shred of light. Instead of saying "darkness", perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as "emptiness". It was in this void that Xia Ens consciousness woke up. Hmm? This is... ?Perceiving the darkness around him, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little confused. He could feel almost nothing except this [emptiness]. Sight, hearing, touch, smell... all seem to be stripped away by some invisible force, and even one''s own sense of existence is gradually becoming weaker. ?This experience was the first time for Xia Endu. Soon, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xia Ens mind, and he suddenly woke up. This is...the fifth level promotion trial? Its actually like this. Even though Xia En knew the special characteristics of the fifth-level promotion ritual in advance, the current situation still exceeded his expectations. ?This trial mission is no longer as specific as "escape from this sea" or "find the traitor", but to explore independently in this "empty" space. At least give me some hints! ?Xia En twitched the corner of his mouth and complained secretly. What should I do? ?His current feeling is like playing those games with extremely poor guidance. He is completely confused and doesnt even know what his goal is. Fortunately, Xia En''s temperament is much calmer and tougher than ordinary people. Soon he calmed down and secretly realized his current state. ?Xia En couldn''t help but be surprised by this experience. Because, at this time, he no longer even has a human body, and all that is left is a highly solidified secret power! ?No wonder he has lost all five senses including smell. How can a body of secret power possess these sensory abilities? Subsequently, Xia En''s consciousness explored outwards and came across an invisible barrier, which was the darkness and void he had previously felt. This piece of "nothingness" is like a cage, sealing him in it. Xia En had a clear understanding in his heart: "The key to this promotion trial is to break through the cage made of [emptiness]." ?Mingwu is Mingwu, but Xia En is still deep in thought as to how to do it. According to Jiya, the fifth level trial focuses more on the control of secret power. Then lets try first to see if we can break the situation violently. ?Shaan thought for a moment and started to make his first attempt. He directly activated his secret power, like a surging wave, and launched an impact on the cage of [emptiness]. ! ??A muffled sound suddenly came from Xia En''s consciousness. ?The wave of secret power shattered instantly, but the barrier of [emptiness] remained firm and motionless. Xia En''s body at this time was already composed of secret power. Under the huge impact, extremely severe pain immediately spread from all parts of his body, as if he had been smashed into pieces. ifier ?This kind of pain is simply unbearable. Even with Xia En''s willpower, he almost fainted from the pain. ?However, after coming back to his senses, Xia En was not surprised but happy. In the ferocious impact just now, he could already feel the barrier of [Nothingness] wavering slightly. This method may work! Xia En said to himself: "But it hurts so much..." Since there was a possibility of this road being passed, Xia En simply took his time and waited until the pain subsided. Then he once again mobilized all his secret power and crashed against the barrier.?????Hmm! Even though he was prepared, the pain at the moment of impact still made Xia En''s consciousness groan. NothingnessThe barrier swayed slightly again. ??Moreover, I dont know if its Xia Ens illusion, but in the process of being crushed and reorganized, his secret power seems to be becoming more solid and tough. Some kind of invisible transformation is happening faintly. When the pain had almost dissipated, Xia En regrouped and launched another attack. ?Just like this, Xia En was immersed in breaking through the barrier of [emptiness], forgetting the passage of time. I dont know how much time has passed. ?Xia En only felt that he was a little numb from the pain. ?The body composed of secret power is like a ball of thick iron. Impurities are removed through "forging" again and again, and it becomes refined and solid. Click! After an unknown number of impacts, Xia En suddenly heard an invisible crisp sound. This slight sound fell into Xia En''s heart, and it was like the sound of nature! I saw a crack appearing from the [emptiness] barrier, and it had a tendency to expand. ?Xia En felt ecstatic in his heart. It can be the next moment. ??A dark wave suddenly surged through this crack. The cracks that just appeared are quickly repaired and healed under the action of the waves, becoming as new as ever. It was as if everything Xia En had done before was in vain. F*ck ?Perceiving this, Xia En couldn''t help but spit out a vulgar word. ?However, this is not over yet. ?The pitch-black wave rushed straight towards the body with secret power, and the cold chill suddenly penetrated, seeming to be consuming his secret power. Xia En was in a serious mood and compressed his secret power into a ball to resist the erosion of this wave. After a moment, the dark wave disappeared, as if it had never appeared. Even so, part of the secret power was still consumed by the waves. This discovery gave Xia En an ominous premonition. In this closed space, the total amount of his secret power is actually limited. ??Every impact will consume a little bit of secret power, and coupled with the washing of this weird wave, it will undoubtedly increase Xia En''s burden. When the secret power is completely consumed, it means that the promotion has failed. Shaan obviously cannot accept this result. And right now, the worst part is ?This ability to recover from the dark wave most likely means that his approach of forcibly breaking through the barrier of [emptiness] will not work! ?Just hitting a crack cost him a lot of time. ??If every time you break through the barrier, you will be baptized by a wave of darkness, and you will have to start over every time. Xia En''s total amount of secret power cannot support such consumption. The road to a frontal breakthrough is dead, so what else can we do? Xia En fell into thinking. Soon, he came up with a bold idea. The barrier formed by [emptiness] is like a security door. ?Forcibly breaking down the door is of course one way, but shouldn''t the more correct approach be to enter the door''s password? That is to say. As long as the barrier of [Nothingness] thinks that he is one of his own kind, wouldn''t he be able to pass through this gate? ?Hence, Xia En calmed down, began to sense the state of the cage of [Nothingness], and used the domain of [Great Dark Sky]. As the realm expanded, the two secret powers soon came into contact. It''s just that it''s different from the previous collision. ?This time, Xia En chose to imitate [Nothingness]. Not long after, the two secret powers had a tendency to assimilate. ?Although the feeling of rejection still exists, it is not as strong as it was at the beginning. ?This discovery immediately cheered up Xia En. Theres a chance! ?Xia En''s thoughts were up and down, and he thought about many things clearly in an instant. It is obviously wrong to blindly imitate, otherwise you will only be assimilated and swallowed up by this darkness. ??If it really becomes a state of [nothingness], Xia En''s own consciousness may be wiped out in the process. Only by dyeing this cage with your own color while making contact is the real way to break the situation! Both parties influence and assimilate each other. In the end, lets see whether Xia Ens [Great Dark Sky] has assimilated this piece of [nihility], or whether this piece of [nihility] has completely swallowed him up. ?This promotion trial is essentially a battle in the field. The ability to control the secret power determines the outcome of this invisible battle. ?However, this is destined to be a long process. Just when Xia En Anxin made a breakthrough. The situation on the Seven Seas has undergone tremendous changes. ?Honestly speaking, these changes are inseparably linked to Xia En. ??Xia Ens oracle passed down in the [Glory Crystal Mirror] caused the Hui Sect to officially launch a war against the [Truth Society]. This is a real war, and there is no room for turning around. The place where the dispute first broke out was the Federal Research Institute on Liuli Island. A group of top scientific researchers were directly attacked by the [Glow Guards] and were violently kidnapped and killed. In retaliation, several hidden churches of the Hui Sect were also directly bloodbathed by the [Truth Society]. And this is only the beginning of the chaos. Because, the [Netherworld Sect], which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly became powerful at this time. After receiving the hint from [The Descendants of Yousui] (Xia En), they also decisively launched a sneak attack on the [Truth Society]. Who doesnt like beating up a drowned dog? Several ships belonging to the [Truth Society] were inexplicably pulled into the deep sea and suffered heavy losses. There are also many scholars from the [Truth Society] who have suffered invisible curses. To this day, at least hundreds of islands within the Federation have been affected by the conflict between the three major forces. There were even more than ten small islands that were directly sunk by the means of the powerful three parties. ?Most civilians in the Federation have no idea why these three major forces are fighting. Even these names are quite unfamiliar to ordinary people. ?It was only during this war that people realized that such a powerful and strange organization still existed in the Seven Seas. Among them, the most intriguing thing is actually the official attitude of the federal government. The institute was attacked, and federal officials should have directly launched a wanted order against Hui Jiao. ?But the Federation has strangely remained silent, neither helping the [Truth Society], nor the [Hui Sect] and [The Nether Sect]. There is a vague meaning of sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight. This kind of chaos continued until one day. A small ship from the Far North sailed into the Federation''s harbor, and it also brought shocking news. (End of this chapter) Chapter 270 The second prophecy of destruction! Chapter 270 The second prophecy of destruction! Liu Li Island ??After these days of overt and covert competition between the three major forces, the brightest star on the "Star Wave" flag of the Seven Seas Federation is like a pearl covered in dust, and the atmosphere is tense and depressing. The air is filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder smoke. ?No one knows whether the dispute will break out again. Pedestrians walking on the road look in a hurry, especially when night is approaching, and they dare not stay on the street. ?The island that used to be bustling and noisy has actually become a bit desolate and deserted. In the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island]. A major in military uniform put down the documents in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and put his hand on his forehead to relieve fatigue. The conference table in front of him turned into a huge desk, filled with various official documents and files. ?During this period of time, the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island] has almost been working at overload. The disappearance of scholars at the institute, the massacre in a church, the serial murders in the city... Let alone the investigation of these incidents, their aftermath work alone is extremely cumbersome and heavy. Before these days, members of the Public Security Bureau never imagined that they would be so busy. ?This is [Liu Li Island]! One of the most prosperous islands in the Federation. Who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to commit such major crimes on this island. It can be said that the workload of members of the Public Security Bureau these days is more than their workload in the past three years combined! At this time, a captain pushed the door open and came in, delivering another stack of documents and saying with a gloomy face. [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] A businessman died suddenly at home. He was suspected to have suffered a mental breakdown. His family members asked us to find the real culprit as soon as possible. Again?! Hearing this, the Public Security Bureau employees in the office suddenly let out a wail. The major couldn''t help complaining: "I''ve had enough of this day!" I just cant figure it out. Why dont the higher-ups simply declare war on the Nalaoshizi [Truth Society], [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect]? "We must just swallow our anger and let them run wild in our territory." His words could not help but arouse the resonance of many colleagues in the room. Yeah, yeah, lets just put all these heretics on wanted list. Lets see if they still dare to disobey federal laws! As official soldiers of the Federation, they have always had a strong sense of belonging and identification with the Federation. In other words, they have a sense of arrogance in their hearts. In fact, soldiers do have pride. ? No matter what, the Federation is now the most extensive and powerful force on the Seven Seas. In terms of overall strength, these three major forces combined may not be able to compete with the Federation. Because of this, people in the Public Security Bureau cannot understand why the big shots above have kept silent about the recent chaos. When it comes to war, is the Federation afraid of anyone? Just when many people in the Public Security Bureau were filled with indignation. ?A middle-aged man with gray hair coughed twice and sighed softly: "You guys, your vision is still too shallow." Hearing this, the room suddenly became silent. ??If an ordinary person said this, he would probably get scolded, but the middle-aged man who spoke was not an ordinary person. ?This man''s name is Cameron, he is a veteran of the Public Security Bureau, with at least 40 years of experience, and he is considered a highly respected senior. His words are quite authoritative within the Public Security Bureau. The major who complained earlier was young and energetic after all, so he couldn''t help but ask: "Why did the senior say this?" Dont you think that the Federation is no match for these three secret sects? ?Secret sects such as [The Nether Sect] have always been collectively referred to as "secret sects" in the Federation. Of course not. Cameron shook his head: "Our federation is spread across the seven seas, and its overall strength is certainly not comparable to that of the three secret sects." But the vast scope of our influence is both our advantage and our disadvantage. If we really start a war with these three secret sects, they can completely avoid the large federal forces, break up into parts, fight guerrillas with us, and frequently attack remote islands to attack the sea areas where we have weak defenses. This time, more civilians will be involved in this dispute. ?Thinking of that possibility, the major couldn''t help but turn pale and frown deeply. Of course, in the end, it will be our federation that wins the final victory. Cameron continued: Its just that the price to pay is destined to be extremely heavy. Now, the three major esoteric sects seem to be very powerful, but they actually maintain considerable restraint and do not take the initiative to provoke us. ??The major was puzzled: "But the attack on the Federal Research Institute..." int Cameron sneered: "Although the Federal Research Institute is nominally an industry of our federation, in recent years, their independence and confidentiality have become increasingly higher." Even our Public Security Bureau cant conduct an in-depth investigation. I suspect that the Federal Research Institute has actually deteriorated! ?These words caused a small uproar among the people. ?Cameron went on to make a shocking statement: Quite a few of these scholars have turned into lunatics chasing truth. Huijiaos move actually helped the federation purge members of the [Truth Society] from the institute. The deaths of several colleagues before were also related to their esoteric identities. Everyone''s expressions changed slightly, and they thought seriously about the authenticity of his words. The members of the Secret Cult are really hidden too deeply, and they have already taken root in every corner of the federation. ?Cameron looked at the major and sneered: "Actually, don''t say institute." Believe it or not, right now, within our Public Security Bureau, there are also believers who quietly believe in the Lord of Glory, Holy Lord of the Deep or Truth. When he said this, his cloudy eyes swept across the crowd, causing many people to look unnatural. A few people even lowered their heads, not daring to look at them. The major''s expression became even more ugly. ?However, Cameron did not expose the identities of these people, but laughed. It doesnt matter, belief is free. Federal laws do not stipulate which religious denominations are prohibited. Its just that if you are like this, how can you talk about the big shots in the federation? Perhaps they are also believers of a certain sect? "If a war really breaks out, can the faction they belong to really devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle against the Secret Cult? Even if it can, can other factions really believe in them?" Hearing this, the major fell silent completely. ?Just imagining that situation made him feel sweaty and stressed. So, sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and watching the three major esoteric sects consume each others combat power is the best choice at the moment. ?Camerons eyes flashed with the wisdom of an older man, and he spoke with sincerity. Besides, how do you know that the federation really hasnt taken any measures at all? After saying these words, the scene that had been full of excitement before became almost silent. Just as Cameron said, they did take it too lightly! The major showed a look of shame on his face and bowed seriously. Senior Cameron, you have learned a lesson. ?Cameron waved his hand: "It''s just a bit of experience." How this struggle will develop from now on is anyones guess. Just when the members of the Public Security Bureau returned to their respective posts with their own concerns. ?The door to the room was suddenly pushed open in a hurry. A soldier rushed in in a panic and reported: "The port...the port, a small warship suddenly appeared!" Cameron suddenly frowned: "Warship? Appeared suddenly? At this time..." Due to the recent troubles caused by the three major esoteric sects, [Liuli Island] closed the port for a time and implemented a strict port closure strategy to prevent people with evil intentions from taking the opportunity to sneak into and escape the island. So, the appearance of such a warship is undoubtedly very unusual. ??The soldier took a breath and continued: "The warship seems to have been teleported to the port with the help of some kind of spatial coordinates." Spatial coordinates, etc., could it be... ?Cameron suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed. He didn''t even leave a single explanation, he hurried out the door and rushed towards the port. ?Seeing this, the major also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately brought a few good men with him to follow in the footsteps of senior Cameron. It didnt take long. ?Cameron and his party hurried to the port. The soldiers guarding the port have surrounded the unknown warship. There were several pastors from the Deep Sea Church praying in the crowd. Goddess above, may you protect us. ?The priest lowered his head and prayed devoutly to the goddess: "Please bear witness..." Incense and holy oil have been lit to surround the warship in a special ritual. In fact, this is the safest way to deal with an unknown ship. ?Those ships returning from the depths of the sea are often contaminated by some mysterious force without even knowing it. Rush contact is a sign of irresponsibility for the lives of soldiers and even the safety of [Liuli Island]. Soon, a solid black gas appeared in the incense, which lingered for a long time. This made the priests look even more serious. ?This kind of black gas is proof that this warship has encountered strong pollution. ?At this time, Cameron was still walking quickly in the direction of the warship. The soldiers immediately stopped in front of him and said politely. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, this warship is severely contaminated and must be decontaminated before contact can be made. ?Cameron stayed as calm as possible and said: "Just let me see the logo of this warship, just take a look." I carry the amulet of the Deep Sea Church on my body, so I still have the ability to resist this pollution. This matter may determine the future of the Federation! Ah this Hearing Cameron describe the situation so seriously, the soldiers couldn''t help but hesitate. They just handled the incident based on past experience, but they did not expect that Cameron would take it so seriously. Get out of the way, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron is not the kind of person to be alarmist. A priest said: "But before that, please let me cast a patron saint spell on you." After applying magic, illusory waves surged around Cameron. ?Cameron nodded to the priest, then walked through the crowd and came to the edge of the port. ??This warship is slightly petite in size. It is suspected to be a destroyer or frigate. The iron-gray painting on the ship has a tough and direct military style. However, the situation of this ship is obviously not very good. There are eye-catching cracks all over the hull, as well as some terrible wounds that look like they have been gnawed by some giant beast. A thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the hull, struggling to maintain the integrity of the entire ship. Looking from a distance, there seemed to be some traces of blood on the deck. The moment he saw the appearance of the warship clearly, Cameron''s face turned pale, as if he had aged dozens of years rapidly, and he whispered in a mournful voice. It is indeed [Private Number] [Private Number]!? ??The major who was following Cameron at a distance heard this whisper, and his expression suddenly changed. You mean, [King]s frigate, [Private]? A few months ago, the "King" and its frigates launched an exploration operation to the Far North. At the moment, only the [Private] has returned to the port of [Liu Li Island] with the help of teleported coordinates. This incident itself explains a lot of information. I wont admit my mistake. Cameron murmured: "I served on the [King] for five years, how could I mistake the appearance of a frigate?" But, [King]...what exactly happened? Colonel Gold, where are you now? At this time, a long pedal extended from the side of the "Private" and landed on the ground of the port. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, please be careful! The priest behind him immediately gave Cameron an early warning. We have previously made a call request to this warship, but no one responded. The crew on that ship may have turned into irrational monsters. Before the priest finished speaking, a strange figure appeared from the pedal. ?The figure barely maintained a human appearance, wearing a military uniform, but no matter how you looked at it, it revealed a strong inhumanity. A strong smell of blasphemy lingers on its body. Shuish, swipe, swipe! Seeing that figure, the soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at each other. Stop! Otherwise we will shoot! Out of concern for the safety of [Liu Li Island], they could not allow this weird being to land on the island. But the figure seemed not to have heard the soldiers'' warning and continued walking towards the shore. Tick tocktick tock ?People can even smell a rotten stench. Just when the soldiers were about to shoot, Cameron jumped up, jumped on the pedal, and walked towards the opponent. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron! Everyone was shocked. No one knew what the consequences would be if they came into close contact with this kind of pollutant. But Cameron did it anyway. He walked up to the figure and stared at him quietly. ??The face of this weird figure has been distorted, the eyes are hollow and lifeless, and the flesh and blood has the texture of mud, as if dripping downward little by little, and it looks extremely weird. Is this Mr. Cameron...? A hoarse question came from under the opponent''s military hat. ?Camerons tone was slightly sad: Its me. Greatthe captain said "If it were... Mr. Cameron... he would definitely believe me..." ?The strange figure said with difficulty: "We...all died there..." The King and Captain Gold...are trapped..." [Private Number]asking for help ?Suddenly, its tone suddenly became extremely high-pitched, as if it was crying or wailing, and said: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..., the prophecy of world destruction, the prophecy is true!" Flood! The great flood is coming again! As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly collapsed like mud. (End of this chapter) Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the three religions Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the three religions After making these shocking remarks, the strong obsession that kept this soldier persisting until now finally dissipated. ?This body could no longer maintain a stable structure and melted like a wax statue, turning into a puddle of dark red viscous sludge. From this mud, biological tissues such as teeth, blood vessels, eyeballs, and half-melted internal organs can be vaguely seen. ?As Cameron stared at it, it was still expanding and contracting slightly, and making a hoarse and low sound from a certain part of its structure. Weall died there ?It kept repeating this sentence, like raving after falling into a frenzy, which made those who heard it feel creepy. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron! Please stay away from it as soon as possible! On the shore, the deep-sea priests issued another warning and looked at Cameron with worried eyes. Even though the contact was only for a few seconds, the lieutenant colonel was at risk of contamination. This time, Cameron did not insist on having his own way. Instead, he took off his military hat, saluted solemnly to the mud, and whispered to himself. Your sacrifice is far from meaningless. May your souls find rest in the deep sea. Soon, Cameron cooperated and returned to the port. ??It''s just that at this time, the soldiers and priests kept a safe distance from him and did not approach rashly. This is the correct procedure for service members who have been exposed to contaminants. After this, Cameron will be transferred to the church and undergo isolation observation and a series of mental evaluations. Cameron had already anticipated this. But right now, what is more important is to inform the big people who can really decide the fate of the Federation with the information brought back by the "Private". So, Cameron said to the priest: "Please give me a pen and paper. I have important military information to report." The next day. After applying all aspects of "divine purification" and making sufficient preparations. Members of the Public Security Bureau began a formal exploration of the "Private". When they stepped onto the deck of the Private, the scene on the ship shocked everyone. There is no one alive on this dilapidated warship. All that is left is a dark, silt-like substance. ?They are scattered all over the deck, mast, and cabins of the "Private". They are layered in layers and covered in every corner, crawling slowly and strangely. ?This kind of mud is alive! ?This discovery makes everyone who sets foot on the "Private" feel a little scared. ?Among these mud-like things, you can occasionally see one or two humanoid monsters with swollen and deformed bodies that do not look like soldiers at all. ?After the soldiers untied the clothes of the humanoid monsters, they discovered that their flesh and blood seemed to be "growing" together with the clothes. ?There are also large and small, incomprehensible wounds on his body. In some cabins, there is still a little white fibrous moisture, which looks like unformed neural structures. ?After the investigation, the pastor of the Deep Sea Church came to an incredible inference ?This filthy sludge is none other than the crew of the "Private"! They encountered some unimaginable and terrifying enemy, and ended up taking this ugly, filthy form. Some fragments of clothing and identity plates found in the mud also prove this point. No one knows what the crew of the Private went through before they died. But just from the remaining emotions in the mud, we can also get a glimpse of the cruel truth. The investigation of the "Private" alarmed the soldiers and priests. ??Above the Seven Seas, what existence is there that dares to attack the warships of the Federation Navy? ??Moreover, in this cruel way of killing the entire crew and leaving no body intact? How can this not make them angry? The strange thing is that after the members of the Public Security Bureau handed over the investigation report. ?Far from starting an investigation immediately, the superiors issued a gag order to all those involved in the incident, prohibiting them from spreading relevant information. Key figures in the investigation, such as Lieutenant Colonel Cameron and the leader Storm Priest, even suffered confinement. Speaking of "isolation", it actually means putting them under house arrest. In fact, it is not difficult to understand why the federation did this. The return of the "Private" is related to the "King" that was sent out to perform a secret mission a few days ago. The information about the "Second Great Flood" and "Prophecy of Doom" obviously cannot be widely disseminated in the Federation, otherwise it will cause great panic. A certain degree of information blockade is naturally necessary. However, it was beyond everyones expectations. On the third day after the "Private" returned to Hong Kong, rumors about the "second world-destroying flood" spread like wildfire on the "Liu Li Island". No one knows where the news first came from. But by the time federal officials found out, the situation was already out of control. People knew about the return of the "Private" and the trap of the "King". Even the soldiers last words were known to the people. ?This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Federation. After all, that is the [King]! It can be said that it is a warship that embodies the latest and most advanced technology of the Federation. Among the warships currently in service, there are only a few large ships with a tonnage exceeding the "King". Even the "King" sank in this operation, which in itself showed the seriousness of the matter. As the central island of the Federation, information and intelligence spread so fast on [Liu Li Island]. In less than half a day, the spread of rumors was unstoppable. It was like a bomb was dropped on the Seven Seas. For a time, people who knew the news couldn''t help but panic, and rumors spread. Compared to this big news, the confrontation between the three major forces some time ago seems to be just a small matter. A tiny secret place that few people know about. In the chaotic space, three powerful consciousnesses descended one after another. The first thing that comes is an existence that seems to be composed of codes, numbers and graphics. They seem to flash rapidly in the form of some kind of matrix, seemingly irregular but also seem to contain some kind of "reason", emitting a cold, rational glimmer. After arriving first, this consciousness remained silent, as if waiting for something. Soon, a dazzling light came. His arrival seemed to illuminate this strange space, bringing light and heat that could not be ignored. What finally appeared was a deep and deep darkness. ?Just staring at him was like staring into the deep sea with a depth of tens of thousands of meters. It''s like...being stared at by some being under the deep sea. Very good, everyone seems to be here. ?The will that exuded a glimmer of reason was the first to speak: "I think you all know the prophecy of the ''second world-destroying flood''." In this case, will you continue to fight against me [the Truth Society]? It was the important figures of each of the three major forces who brought their consciousness to this secret realm. Under normal circumstances, this negotiation would not have occurred at all, and the three major forces would just fight each other until they could no longer fight. However, the spread of this prophecy caused the attitudes of the three parties to waver a little. Although the metaphors of gods are very important, it is undeniable that not all believers are unscrupulous madmen. They live in this world after all, and there is no way they can just watch this world being flooded again. ?The attitude has been softened, but the hatred has been forged and cannot be easily resolved. represents the will of [Hui Jiao] and snorted coldly. Perhaps this prophecy was leaked by people from you [Truth Society], right? What a great idea. Do you want to take this opportunity to take a breather? The light group of [Truth Society] denied: "I don''t know what you are talking about." Besides, compared with the losses, its not easy for both of you, right? If we continue to fight, will you be able to hold on? ?At this moment, the black shadow of the [Netherworld Sect] who had previously remained silent suddenly spoke sadly. Then, you might as well give it a try. Lets see who cant hold on first. ?His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of madness. Hearing this, the representative of the [Truth Society] cursed secretly in his heart. These crazy people who believe in the ancient gods! Compared to the [Hui Sect], during this period, the [Truth Society] was more troubled by the attacks from the [Youshu Sect]. No matter what, the [Billions of Glory Sect] is an orthodox religion from the previous era, and its behavior is relatively upright and upright. But [Youshu Sect] is different. ?This secret sect that believes in the ancient gods of the deep sea is itself composed of a group of guys who are polluted by the deep sea. There are even some outright lunatics among them. ?Methods such as cursing, poisoning, and contamination are even more readily available, causing great trouble to the [Truth Society]. ?Furthermore, what depresses the members of the [Truth Society] the most is that they have no idea how they got into trouble with the Nether Sect. ?It was obvious that they deliberately avoided each other on weekdays. In fact, the [Truth Society] also felt extremely helpless regarding [Huijiao]s reason for declaring war. Its actually an oracle from [Lord of Radiance]! ?This cant help but make some members of the [Truth Society] wonder whether the outside **** is aware of some of their research. Only then will the oracle come. Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, the [Truth Society] representative softened his attitude and said. Continuing to fight like this will not be beneficial to all three of us. Since no one wants to see the second great flood coming, lets do this. Each of the three parties will send a group of people to the far north to investigate the whole story of this incident. The representative of [Truth Society] paused and continued. At the same time, its also a competition. Which side plays the greatest role in preventing the flood from coming, will be the ultimate winner. The loser needs to tell the other two parties the real names and identities of the fifty core members of their respective sects. In this world, the true name itself has a special effect. For forces like the [Truth Society], [Hui Jiao] and [Yu Sui Sect], knowing the true name is equivalent to controlling the life and death of those people. The list of these fifty people can determine the final outcome of the three parties to a large extent. It is worth mentioning. The words of [Truth Society] made [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] also become targets of competition. This is obviously a naked conspiracy. [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] have different beliefs, which is an irresolvable contradiction in itself. One is an alien **** outside this world. The other is an ancient **** who sleeps in the deep sea. Neither would mind using this list to weaken the other if given the chance. After a brief hesitation, the consciousness of the great priest of [Hui Jiao] responded. "Can." Then, during the period of competition, we shall have a temporary truce. A hoarse voice also came from the dark shadow of [Youshu Religion]: "In this case, we will swear an oath to the three gods under the witness of the secret sea." Not long after, the three parties swore an oath together after agreeing on it. The oath is fulfilled. The representatives of the [Truth Society] could not help but breathe a little sigh of relief. These days, the [Truth Society] has been at war with two parties at the same time, and the pressure it has received is naturally extremely high. The most critical thing is that the plan they have been preparing for has been delayed and delayed due to this inexplicable war, and the progress has stalled. The reason why the [Truth Society] wants to have temporary peace talks may not be without the intention of delaying time. The reason why [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] chose to have a truce is because... During this period, the price they paid was also quite heavy. Only after the actual war, the two esoteric sects realized that the [Truth Society] actually hid such a powerful force. ??Those scholars who work in the Federal Research Institute and researchers hidden in various islands may not be very strong in frontal combat, but they always have many weird methods that are difficult to prevent and unpredictable. ?According to some captured members of the [Truth Society], a "truth network" has been established between them using special relics to communicate. The speed of dissemination of knowledge and technology has reached an unprecedented peak with the blessing of this "truth network". It also gave members of the two major esoteric sects a deep understanding of the power of science and technology. ?As the losses intensified, some voices of opposition emerged within both [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect]. Especially during this period, the [Black Light] never appeared in the [Glory Crystal Mirror] again. Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the "oracle". Even Archbishop Musa was a little suspicious. Some people in the [Yousui Sect] feel that what Priest William heard in the ten thousand-meter deep sea may not be the teachings of the [Yousui Descendants]. ??It could also be that he was hallucinating. Or maybe, its not [Yousuis descendant] at all. In short, for one reason or another, the two esoteric sects cannot be as resolute as before the war. ?This is why the secret peace talks came about. at the same time. On the vast sea. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] were traveling in tandem. ?At this moment, a ship with sails decorated with jet-black flames was speeding towards the [Black Swan]. (End of this chapter) Chapter 272 【Salary King】 Chapter 272 [Salary King] This speeding ship has an obvious old-era style. Like a warship sailing from a previous era. The severely damaged paint on the hull and the outdated bow structure seem to be silently telling the vicissitudes of life it has experienced. ?Hung above the mottled and rusted deck, a flag with a black streamer pattern hangs. Dang! clang! clang! ??The urgent and nervous alarm bell sounded on the [Black Swan], causing all the crew members to step onto the deck one after another. ??Joy took the lead in discovering the menacing old warship and issued a warning. ?During Xia En''s retreat, Joey was not idle, and successfully broke through to the fourth level after difficult training. Now she can even sense the reaction of secret power in a sea area. That''s when I noticed the arrival of the strange ship for the first time. Whats the origin of that ship? Feiya boarded the deck and stared at the old warship with her beautiful eyes, her expression quite serious. Is it coming for us? ?Nowadays, the [Black Swan] is not the unknown boat it once was. ? Judging from the appearance alone, the [Black Swan] is already considered a big guy in the ship, like a giant beast crawling on the sea, which may open its terrifying mouth and launch an attack at any time. ?Those gleaming main guns and the dark and thick horns are not easy to mess with at first glance. Not to mention, as time goes by, the news that [City of Giant Trees] was uprooted gradually fermented in [Sea of ??Annihilation]. It adds a layer of mystery to [Black Swan]. Enough to make ordinary ships frightened. Not to mention being an enemy, even ships that dare to approach it are very rare. Even during Xia En''s retreat, Joey and other crew members cleaned up several pirate ships they encountered, purifying the sea environment and maintaining navigation order. ??It would be okay if this strange-looking warship didn''t recognize them. ??If the Black Swan is recognized, it will charge forward without hesitation. ?Things became more troublesome. ??Joy frowned and said, "I have never heard of a ship flying such a flag." Furthermore, looking at its style, it doesnt look like an official federal warship. Xian Ge looked at the pattern that looked like black flowing fire and murmured. I seem to have seen this kind of warship somewhere. It is...the symbol of a certain countrys navy. ?Looking at the ship that was getting closer and closer, Joey said with a slightly anxious tone: "Don''t worry about its origin." How should we deal with it now? Should we just shoot it? To be honest, Joey was a little undecided. ??If it is a pirate ship, she will definitely fire before the opponent reaches a safe distance. But now, the enemy and the enemy of this warship are unknown, and its intentions are unclear, so Joey doesn''t know what to do. In fact, not only Joey, but also other crew members have similar feelings. In the past, when Sean was on the ship, they didn''t have to think about this kind of problem at all. They only had to obey the captain''s orders. ?But when this kind of decision-making power really falls on themselves, everyone discovers that making the decision itself sometimes requires enough courage and wisdom. ?At times like this, the crew members cant help but have an idea ??????????????????????????????????????? ?However, hesitation was hesitation. Under the approach of the unknown warship, the crew was forced to make a decision. After thinking about it, Fei Ya said: "Let''s shout first. If the other side still insists on having its own way and insists on getting close to us, we will start a war directly!" ?Joy nodded and said, "Just do it." But at this moment. It doesnt have to be so troublesome. A deep voice sounded from the cabin. ?Everyone looked towards the direction from which the sound came. ??The extremely tall Yan Yan, wearing a black robe, stepped onto the deck. His appearance had not changed at all. He was still masculine and handsome, and he was familiar to the crew. ?However, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer looked like a friendly and sunny boy next door, but suddenly became distant and majestic, carrying an unspeakable majesty. It is a temperament belonging to a superior person, as if he has the power of life and death. It is also like the spirit of a king who has opened up a kingdom. ?The overwhelming momentum almost choked everyone''s breath. Even the black robe, like a cloak or a cloak, rustled in the sea breeze and was majestic. Yan Yan is still standing on the deck of the [Black Swan]. ?But at this moment, the crew felt that he seemed to be standing extremely far away from them. ??Can no longer be touched. Yan Yan ??Joy quickly realized something and said in a daze: "What do you mean by this?" At this moment, an unknown warship not far away suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami! ?Someone knelt down on the deck and shouted out the name that had been buried in his heart for a long time. ?Some people cried wildly, as if the grievances of the past were finally resolved. ?Some people are so excited that they cant help themselves, as if they are crazy. Their cheers finally converged into one voice. Salary King! Salary King! Hearing this name, Joey and others were also shocked. ??Joy murmured in disbelief: "Did I hear it correctly? They were shouting... Wang Xin''s name?" But King Xin, hasnt it already been... ?Suddenly, Joey suddenly woke up and turned to look at Yan Yan. Is this ship coming for you? Yan Yan did not speak, but the aura about him said everything. Yan Yan is the salary king? Even Fei Ya, who has become much calmer and calmer, still feels extremely ridiculous in her heart: "How could such a thing happen?" Hearing this, An''s body also trembled slightly, and his expression under the armor was shocked. Its no wonder the crew reacted this way. As the last powerful king in the old era, King Xins name has always been widely spread across the Seven Seas. Coupled with the constant excavation of the "Xinwang Treasure" and various documentary records in the underwater ruins, Xinwang''s reputation has not diminished, but is actually increasing day by day. It can be said that this salary king is a legend among legends and a king among kings! ?Just the fact that Xia En had come into contact with the [Xinwang Treasure] made the crew members very amazed. How could they dare to imagine that King Xin was not only alive, but also lived with them on a ship for such a long time? on the other hand. ?Joy and others also noticed Yan Yans extraordinary qualities very early. ?The kind of flame that can even ignite sea water and solid ice, the seemingly endless regeneration ability, and the characteristics of immortality... all reflect his specialness. However, Yan Yans character shown in the past was too harmless to humans and animals. ?Like a big golden retriever who is only willing to help others, he is too kind and naive. So, everyone knows that Yan Yans true strength is extraordinary, and even Xia En may not be his opponent. But deep down, it is still difficult to see him as a superior and strong man. Even Xian Ge can bully him occasionally. ?However, precisely because of Yan Yans character, he is equivalent to a group favorite on the [Black Swan]. We dont say it in words, but in fact, in terms of life, we always take good care of Yan Yan. ??Joy would save the biggest pieces of fish for him while cooking. An would invite him to exercise with him using the Knights Breathing Technique. When Fei Ya was repairing the steam device on the ship, he would also call Yan Yan to let him feel the baptism of the sacred steam. Even Xian Ge likes to take Yan Yan with him to hunt in the sea. Now, suddenly someone said to the crew ?Yan Yan, whom they regarded as their companion, turned out to be the legendary King Xin! The shock among the crew members can be imagined. At this time, Xian Ge finally found some useful information from his memory and exclaimed. I remembered, that ship is the [Black Flame]! Great Yan Kingdom, [Black Flame Walker]s ship, it actually still exists on the seven seas! ?These terms are quite unfamiliar to Joey and others, but it is not difficult to guess that they must have some deep connection with King Xin. Yan Yan turned his head, glanced at Xian Ge, and said softly. "It seems that there are more memories sealed in your mind than I expected." His eyes were no longer as pure and clean as before, but seemed to have a lot of chaotic impurities added to them. It was like there was a dark flame burning blazingly in the depths of his eyes. It seems that the flame will not be completely extinguished until he himself is burned up. Facing the Yan Yan at this time, Xian Ge, who had always been fearless of heaven and earth, felt some inexplicable fear in his heart. Even so, Xiange still opened her eyes wide and mustered up the courage to ask. Yan Yan, are you leaving [Black Swan]? Can you please stop leaving? I wont steal your barbecue next time. Hearing this, Yan Yans eyes softened a little. But soon, his expression became determined again, and he said seriously: "Actually, I also want to stay on the [Black Swan] and fight alongside you." You dont have to think so much, and you dont have to carry such a heavy past. But, I still have a mission that I must complete! "And if I continue on the [Black Swan], it will only drag you into it." So, I have a reason to leave. Hearing these words, the crew fell silent. Yan Yan has said so, is there really any point in forcing him to stay? At this time. ?The warship with the black flowing fire symbol has already arrived beside the [Black Swan]. ?Many crew members wearing black robes knelt down towards Yan Yan. The entire crew of [Black Flame] welcomes the return of King Xin! The faces of these crew members were all filled with enthusiasm and joy. They were once the [Black Flame Walkers] of the Great Yan Kingdom. They used a special method to survive the great flood and have continued to this day. During this period, the [Black Flame Walkers] experienced many hardships, some of which were even more painful than ordinary people could imagine. But the moment he saw the king, all his efforts in the past seemed to have meaning. ?Seeing this scene, Fei Ya and others suddenly understood. ??Yan Yan is not only carrying his past. It is also the trust and persistence of all those who support others. ?Such trust is both a boost and a shackle, forcing Yan Yan to continue on this path. ??Yan Yan turned around, faced the people of [Black Flame], and said calmly. Yes, Im back. "I will continue our unfinished business and let a spark ignite the seven seas." After saying that, his black robe lit up with an unquenchable flame, wrapping the whole person like flowing water, turning into a blazing flame giant, confronting the entire sea. Such a sight undoubtedly made the [Black Flame Walkers] feel ecstatic again. ?Their king is back! The burning flames and scorching temperature proved that this was not their illusion, but something that actually happened! Another burst of cheers echoed throughout the sea area. Its just that when the crew of the Black Swan looked at the man in the flames, they all pursed their lips and looked indifferent, feeling extremely strange. Because, that is not the Yan Yan they are familiar with. But the King of Fire who was reborn in the flames! If they had a choice, the crew members might hope that Yan Yan would always look pure and clean. King, what should we do with these people? At this time, a [Black Flame Walker] looked at the people on the boat and whispered. They obviously didnt treat you with the respect you deserved as punishment "shut up." ?The flame giant glanced at this man, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the soul. He said in the most severe tone: "They are my companions." It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future. All [Black Flame Walkers] need to be as respectful as they are to me when they see this ship and its crew. ?Although people were a little surprised by Yan Yan''s attitude, no one would disobey his wishes. The [Black Flame Walkers] responded in unison. Yes, my king! ?After giving this order, Yan Yan took another deep look at the [Black Swan], as if he wanted to imprint the ship and the people on it in his eyes. At this time. From a corner of the ship, a translucent figure suddenly floated out. Haso sleepy Vivian yawned, as if she hadn''t woken up yet. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the flame giant in front of her, and murmured in a low voice. Why have you grown so big? Its so scary. Seeing her appearance, Yan Yan''s expression changed slightly. In fact, in the past few days after recovering his memory, Yan Yan conducted detailed observations on the crew members of the [Black Swan]. But two of the crew members still gave him a feeling that he couldn''t see through it. One is the Bronze Dragon String Song. The second one is this ghost lady Vivian. ??The former, as an extinct ancient dragon on the Seven Seas, hides countless secrets. ?But even King Xin couldnt figure out why a ghost that should have dissipated long ago eluded him. Captain Shane had guessed that you might leave before, so he specifically asked me to leave you a few words. Vivian said casually: "You don''t have to take it too seriously, just listen casually." Yan Yan was slightly startled: "Captain, what did he say?" Vivian recounted in Shane''s tone: "He said, no matter you are King Salary or some other big shot, in his eyes, you will always be the big boy he met on the ice and snow island." As long as you want to come back, there will always be a place for you on the Black Swan. The mountains are high and the road is far, and the days ahead are long. Friends, take care! (End of this chapter) Chapter 273 Break through the fifth level! Hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker! 】 Chapter 273 Breaking through the fifth level! Hidden profession[Secret Sea Walker! See you again in Jianghu Yan Yan chewed these words silently, with a soft smile on his face. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he first met Xia En. ?Subsequently, Yan Yan opened his palms, and a butterfly condensed from flames gracefully fell down and landed on the Black Swan. ??The moment the butterfly came into contact with the deck, it turned into a strange mark. ??The butterfly pattern inside is still changing slightly, as if it is breathing. In the blink of an eye, the butterfly mark blended into the hull of the Black Swan and quickly disappeared. I originally thought that this separation would be an eternal farewell. Yan Yan said: "But now that I think about it, that would be too lonely." This brand contains part of my power, but it will also reconnect our destiny. Perhaps it will bring you a lot of trouble in the future. ?According to Yan Yans original idea, he would cut off contact with the [Black Swan] and no longer have any contact with him. Because with the comeback of "King Xin", there are bound to be forces from all sides who want to know about his situation, and even various enemies will come to visit him. The isolated [Black Swan] is undoubtedly an excellent entry point. To put it bluntly, compared with King Xins former enemies, [Black Swan]s current strength is still too weak. Just the aftermath of this major incident was enough to leave [Black Swan] covered in bruises. It is a wise decision to keep distance and never see each other again. ?Even Yan Yan originally planned to use some special secret technique to cut off the thread of fate between the two parties, so that other forces would not be aware of the existence of the [Black Swan]. But after hearing Xia Ens message, Yan Yan changed his mind. He doesnt want to cut off this bond and memory. ?Even though he didnt know whether such a decision was right or wrong. Yan Yan looked at everyone on the boat and said, "Please convey a few words to Captain Xia En." Until now, I still regard myself as the crew of the [Black Swan], and Mr. Shane is still my captain. The destination of my trip is the far north. Perhaps we will meet again there! After saying that, Yan Yan waved his hand, stopped staying, turned around and stepped onto the deck of the [Black Flame]. Soon, the towering bow of the [Black Flame] split the waves, the fluttering flag danced in the air, and then sailed into the distance. Everyone on board the Black Swan felt as if they were lost. ?No matter what, Yan Yan left after all. Moreover, I dont know when we will meet again. The future is always uncertain. It''s like no one expected that Yan Yan would leave today. ?This inevitably makes people feel a little depressed, as if there is a dark cloud hanging over the "Black Swan". It would be nice if Mr. Captain was here ?Joy murmured to himself in a low voice, expressing the thoughts of the crew. Mr. Captain, how long until we can come back? In a dark, void space. ?Xia En''s "body" curled up into a ball, his consciousness was hazy, and he was half asleep and half awake. Compared to the beginning of the promotion ritual, he has become countless times weaker. Whether it is the total amount or quality of the secret power, it is consumed in this space to an extremely weak point. The worst part is. Xia En''s consciousness was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning. ?In the process of trying to use [Great Dark Sky] to assimilate the barrier of [Nothingness], his thinking is also being assimilated by [Nothingness]. The meaning of "emptiness" is nothing, nothing exists. Senses, memory, emotions, thoughts ?These human characteristics seem to be constantly being stripped away from Xia En. ?At a certain moment, Xia En even felt like he had become nothingness itself. ??There seems to be nothing wrong with just sinking completely into this darkness? But in the bottom of Xia En''s heart, there was always a voice reminding him. You must wake up! Your ship, your crew, are waiting for you! Your name is Shane, and you are a man destined to conquer the sea! ? Such self-hypnosis barely allowed Xia En to maintain his final rationality. Time passed by so silently. Until a certain moment. ?Xia Ens secret power seemed to have finally touched the frequency of this [emptiness] and triggered an unprecedented resonance. C ?Amid the violent vibrations, the barrier formed by [emptiness] began to disintegrate silently, and the resistance gradually dissipated. In fact, this barrier still exists. ?However, it has become a part of Xia Ens body and is no longer an obstacle. It was as if a whole new world had opened its door to Shane. Immediately afterwards, countless phantoms suddenly emerged from the boundless darkness, and chaotic fragments of light and shadow swept over like a storm, filling his mind. ??And amid this crazy fragment of information, scenes flashed through Xia Ens mind In the endless darkness of the deep sea, some kind of huge and terrifying body is slowly growing and growing. ? ?Ancient and chilling eyes look at the city-state from the deep sea. It is an indescribable ancient god, indifferently scanning the world. In the distant sky, an unimaginably huge ball of light emits dazzling light all the time, illuminating the world. One after another, the gods whose faces cannot be seen clearly were born in ignorance and lived in indescribable forms. The ancient dragon roared among the mountains. Elves dance in the forest. ?Countless races rise and fall, grow and die. This process, accelerated tens of thousands of times, seems spectacular and strange. However, as the perspective continues to zoom. Xia En saw that the place where all this happened was just a huge light bubble with a halo of light. Beyond this bubble of light is the deep and boundless deep sea. ?Countless similar light bubbles, like stars, are scattered throughout the deep sea. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was greatly shocked, and huge waves were set off in his mind. He understood many things instantly. ?There is no doubt that this deep sea with countless stars is the [Secret Sea] that he has explored! ?In peoples conventional understanding, the [Secret Sea] is a part of this world. It is not only the source of power for many mystical practitioners, but also hides many mysterious [Secret Realms] and gods. Based on what Xia En saw, it was not difficult for him to come to the conclusion In fact, the world Nanami lives in is just a larger bubble of light in the "Secret Sea". Compared with those [secret realms], there is no essential difference! They think that their grand and great history, the changes of races and the evolution of civilization are just a story that happened in a bubble of light. It is conceivable what kind of terrible shock it would cause if this truth were spread across the Seven Seas. As a time traveler, Xia En inevitably thought of more. Since this world is a bubble of light in the [Secret Sea]. ?So in other light bubbles, are there civilizations that are not inferior to the [Seven Seas World]? ??The [Earth World] where Xia En once lived, was it also a member of the light bubble? Even if this was just some speculation, Xia En''s mood was shaken and he could not calm down for a long time. At this time. ?Shane suddenly felt a certain "attention." ?It was not like a gaze, or any kind of will with a clear origin. He felt as if he was being stared at by time itself. ?Something that is older than history, bigger than the city-state, and even seems to come from the deepest part of this [secret sea]... is watching me. ?There is no emotion in that "gazing", no malice or goodwill. He just watched. ?Like a cold, empty shell, staring at an uninvited guest who came into this place ignorantly, and said indifferently You are here. Boom! ! There was a loud noise in Xia En''s consciousness, and the remaining rationality collapsed and reorganized. The darkness seemed to begin to recede on all sides. Some invisible things that slowly squirmed and deformed in the darkness seemed to be gradually condensing and transforming into entities. They look like dry tree branches, bridging and converging with each other in nothingness, connecting those star-like light spots and traces together, vaguely possessing some special pattern. Is this...the connection between different [secret realms]? Xia En''s consciousness gradually became clearer and he thought: "And the will just now is the [Secret Sea Will] mentioned by Augustine?" Emotionless, machine-like, and empty shell. ?That "gaze" really meets the description of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. ??However, Xia En couldn''t tell what these indescribable tree-like things represented. Suddenly, the sound of waves sounded in Sean''s ears. ?This is not an imaginary movement in consciousness, but a real sound. This also means that the five senses have returned to Xia En. ?At the same time, it means that he successfully completed this promotion ritual! Xia En''s consciousness suddenly felt down to earth, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly rose in his heart. After suffering for such a long time, the pain is finally over! Soon, the wave from the [Secret Sea] descended on him. Under the wash of the vast and full secret power, several prompts appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Complete the trial mission: Break through the world barrier! The promotion ritual is over! Hidden Hidden Path Occupation: Secret Sea Walker (Level 5)! ?Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. ??The promotion ritual is over before I tell him the specific content of the trial mission. This is too confusing! Furthermore, the barrier of [nothingness] that he broke through before was actually a "world barrier?" But if you think about it carefully. ?Combined with the name of the profession [Secret Sea Walker], he must have the ability to break through the world''s barriers before he can truly walk in the [Secret Sea]. Of course, Xia En actually adopted a tricky method, adjusting his secret power to a frequency similar to that of the barrier, and passed through the barrier. Its no wonder that the forced breakthrough method doesnt work. ?That is a barrier to a world, and it is obviously not what Xia En can do now. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! Comprehensive quality: 9.512! Unlock the exclusive talent of "Secret Sea Walker": Hidden Traces! Quality: Legend Description: You have been blessed by "The Will of the Secret Sea". Divination, curses, and fate spells directed at you will not take effect, and outsiders will have difficulty locating your location.

You can see some things that ordinary people cannot see. When walking in the "Secret Sea", you can see some information about some "Secret Realms".

Remember, do not use these eyes to look at things you shouldn''t look at. Every time you explore a different "secret realm", your career compatibility can be slightly improved. Career fit: 0% These two talents ??Xia En looked at these descriptions carefully, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little subtle. First of all, the strength of these two talents is absolutely online. The former directly gave Xia En a powerful BUFF, making him immune to curses and other secret spells. To be honest, Xia En is often not very afraid of frontal combat. You can still run away if you really can''t beat him. ?But curses are hard to guard against, especially as the rank increases, the curses mastered by the Mystic become more and more weird and dangerous. Especially an organization like the [Truth Society], which obviously has the ability to locate locations, divination and other means. ?Just like last time, [Thousand Changes] Jia Xiu found the [Black Swan] inexplicably and almost caused a catastrophe. It is obviously necessary to make some preparations in advance. ??Moreover, what is really important about this talent is probably its secondary effect. It allows Xia En to avoid many dangers when walking in the [Secret Sea]. ?Xia Enke has not forgotten that when he first explored the [Secret Sea], he bumped into an incredibly huge creature. As for [Eye of Peeping Secrets] ??The description of this talent made Xia En a little confused. What does it mean to think about the [Secret Sea]? ?Xia En couldn''t help but think of those weird branches, and suddenly realized something - ?That kind of thing may not actually exist. What he saw was probably just a thought that flashed through [The Will of the Secret Sea] at a certain moment. And this idea was strongly reflected here, and it turned into a huge structure in his eyes. Think about it again. ?Those tree branches connect many light points together. Perhaps it means that there is a special connection in these [secret realms]. For example, a certain [secret realm] is separated from another [secret realm]. For another example, a certain [secret realm] is inhabited by humans who have migrated from other [secret realms]. ? With this talent, Xia En can filter out the [Secret Realms] related to the [Seven Seas World] from the endless light spots. It can greatly reduce the time wasted exploring invalid [secret areas]. ?? is also a very practical talent. ??The only thing that dissatisfied Xia En is... These two talents are the ability to assist the exploration of the [Secret Sea] and do not intuitively improve the actual combat power. (End of this chapter) Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and retur Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and returns to [Black Swan]! Rhine Secret Realm Under a large tree with dark red leaves and lush branches. The invisible wave of mysterious power is rushing nearby, slowly spreading outward like a tidal wave. ?No matter flowers, trees, trees or rocks, nothing can stop it. Under the influence of this mysterious power, the growth rate of [Crimson Ancient Tree] seems to have accelerated a little. The crimson leaves swayed gently under the tide of secret power, looking very magical. Looking at this scene, Sha Jingjing next to the altar was full of amazement and said softly. As expected of the Holy Son, the news of promotion is getting louder and louder. ?Beside Sha Jingjing, there were several boys and girls from the [Yongyue Tribe]. They all sat around the altar, quietly comprehending this strange secret power, and practicing through it. Sha Jingjing turned her head and said to them seriously: "We are all blessed by the Holy Son, so we can have such an opportunity. We must cherish it and be grateful." Not long after Xia En entered the promotion ritual, a strange secret power began to emerge around the altar. Sha Jingjing, who was responsible for guarding this place, soon discovered that this secret power was of great benefit to her body, and the previous bottleneck showed signs of loosening. So, Sha Jingjing selected a group of talented people from the [Yongyue Clan] to practice beside the altar. As expected, after this period of subtle influence, the strength of these tribesmen has improved in different ways. Someone''s body has been strengthened. Some people have a more delicate grasp of the secret power. ?Hearing Sha Jingjings words, a young man from the Yongyue Tribe looked at Xia Ens retreat hut with admiration and sighed. My lord, the Holy Son, is truly amazing. Just the aftermath of the promotion has benefited us a lot. The other girl looked worried: "But...is it too long for the Holy Son to be promoted?" Is it really okay? Her thoughts were very simple. It took so long for Lord Shengzi to be promoted this time, but he didn''t eat. Is there really no problem with his body? Hearing this, Sha Jingjing couldn''t help but frown slightly. To be honest, she has always been a little worried in her heart. She knows more than the average tribesman. She knows that Xia Ens promotion ritual is special and extremely difficult, otherwise he would not have come to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for seclusion. However, out of trust in Xia En, Sha Jingjing still chose to believe and wait. At this time. Another young man from the Yongyue clan exclaimed in a low voice: "Look! Under the sacred tree..." Hearing his call, everyones eyes immediately looked below the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. I saw that the previously invisible tide of secret power was suddenly dyed with a faint black color. ?This darkness expanded outwards in an instant, and soon blackened the entire tide. ?The [Rhine Secret Realm], which was still sunny just now, instantly became extremely dark. Immediately, not only the [Crimson Ancient Tree], but also the space where many Yongyue tribe members were located was shrouded in darkness. At this moment, its like night has fallen! Facing such a vision, the boys and girls couldn''t help but become speechless. Even Sha Jingjing couldn''t say a word. Shortly afterwards, this pitch black windless land automatically created ripples, and a little light appeared in the middle and slowly rose up. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like countless stars spread across the vast night sky. Large and small light bubbles are formed and destroyed in the deep darkness. Sometimes it turns into light spots, sometimes it turns into light marks. Everything seems bizarre, but at the same time it is full of wonderful laws. ?Sha Jingjing and others are still standing on the land of [Rhine Secret Realm], but they seem to have crossed the barriers of the world and can see the true appearance of [Secret Sea]. How can such a scene not shake people''s minds and shock them incomprehensibly? In fact, for them, witnessing this kind of scene in advance will be of great benefit to them on the secret road in the future, and they can avoid many detours. When you are promoted, it will also become particularly smooth because you have sensed the breath of the [Secret Sea]. ?However, at this time, everyone in the Yongyue Clan had no time to care about this kind of thing. ? Their whole bodies and minds were attracted by the vision in front of them and could not extricate themselves. followed by. ? There were waves beginning to surge in the darkness, one wave higher than the other, like the deep sea before a storm. Suddenly there was a roar. The violent secret power escaping all around seems to have begun to collapse after expanding to the extreme! At the center of the secret power, a huge whirlpool appeared, and the center of the whirlpool was bottomless. Endless secret power surged toward the center of the vortex, pouring like a waterfall, enough to push an ordinary fifth-level mystic to death. Among them, the nearest [Crimson Ancient Tree] also received part of the secret power. ??The whole tree has grown taller visibly to the naked eye, and the crown of the tree has become denser and more prosperous. Seeing this, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized something and shouted: "Hurry up and absorb this secret power, as much as you can!" Having said that, Sha Jingjing took the lead and sat down, trying her best to absorb the secret power around her. The total amount of this secret power is too huge. Even during the absorption process of Xia En, a considerable part will escape. And this part of the secret power is the opportunity for the people of the Yongyue tribe! In the hut, Xia En''s eyes were closed tightly, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and he could faintly hear the pulse like ancient war drums. All the secret power pouring down from all around penetrated his body and poured into his chest. There, there is an invisible whirlpool spinning. At the center of this vortex is the deepest darkness, which seems to be able to swallow everything. ?While the vortex was turning, the mysterious power all over Xia En''s body was also undergoing a miraculous transformation. This is a level of sublimation. From ordinary secret power, it has become a secret power that is closer to the depths of the [Secret Sea], purer and more original. Wait until the deep darkness fades away like a tide and the violent tide of secret power subsides. ?Shaan slowly opened his eyes and found that the hut next to him no longer existed, leaving only a puddle of powder. Obviously, under the violent rush of secret power just now, this small house was overwhelmed and was directly crushed into powder. ??Similarly torn into pieces were the clothes on Xia En''s body. He calmly took out the clothes from the space ring and started to put them on. But this movement made Xia En feel very uncomfortable. After sleeping for many days, his body was like a rusty machine, and even the simplest movements were a bit jerky. ?However, after a little movement, Xia En immediately discovered that there was volcanic power lurking in every cell of his body, and it would explode at the slightest thought. He used a little more strength and tore his clothes to pieces. In desperation, Xia En had to carefully take out another one and slowly put it on his body. ?After getting dressed with some difficulty, Xia En looked at himself and found that his body had become more perfect after being promoted. ? Streamlined muscle lines, straight back, and even the facial features have undergone subtle adjustments and become more beautiful. ?The entire body has no flaws at all, like a work of art. In addition, what surprised Xia En even more was the change in the secret power in his body. His secret power, both in total quantity and degree of purity, is several times greater than before. Very simple reason. When performing the same secret technique, the more pure the secret power, the greater the power it exerts. Not only that, during the long process of breaking through the barrier of [nothingness], Xia En has been adjusting the state of the secret power, gradually changing its nature. After the promotion ritual ended, his secret power was completely sublimated and he achieved transformation. In fact, the secret power of each Mystic Pathfinder has its own characteristics. For example, the secret power of [Warrior]''s secret path is difficult to use to cast spells. The secret power of fire attribute is difficult to produce ice attribute attack. ?However, at this time, Xia En''s secret power seems to be able to evolve into any kind of secret power, adapting to different types of secret techniques! It can be said that this secret power is close to the origin of the secret power! Its level is so high that it is extremely rare in the Seven Seas. Because it is pure, it is powerful. It seems that this is the biggest benefit after being promoted to the fifth level. Xia Ens eyes were bright and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Although the hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker] obtained, it does not directly provide skills for combat. But the sublimation of this secret power alone has raised his combat effectiveness to a higher level. ??If Xia En used [Great Dark Sky] now, he could hardly imagine how powerful it would be. I have to say. ??This promotion ritual can be called the most dangerous one among Xia En''s several promotions. ??The other promotions were extremely difficult compared to other Mystic Pathfinders, but with Xia En''s strength at the time, he basically had a way to deal with them. But this time, the physical fitness and combat power that Xia En always relied on were almost useless. You can only rely on a little bit of exploration and experimentation. The long persistence in the endless darkness continued to wear away his will. At the most dangerous moment, Xia En really almost lost himself in the void. ?Xia En has reason to suspect that other Mystics have failed in promotion and may have another chance. ?And if he fails, the only thing that will greet him is complete death. ?However, the difficulty of advancing to the ritual is high, and the reward can be said to be extremely generous. This kind of secret power is close to the [emptiness] barrier that I touched before, but it doesnt really reach that level. Just call it...[Secret Power of the Void]. ??Xia En casually gave this secret power a name, quickly opened his stance, and performed the [Knight Strengthening Method] in the open space to adapt to his upgraded body as soon as possible. After completing four or five sets of movements, Xia En finally felt that he had roughly mastered his body. He then transformed into a blood sword and repeatedly practiced basic sword skills. Nearly an hour later, he was fully adapted. Not far away, Sha Jingjing waited patiently for Xia Ens movements to stop, and then stepped forward respectfully. Lord Holy Son Xia En turned around and looked at Sha Jingjing with her ears erect and her tail wagging. She suddenly felt like she was in another world. But, for some reason, the moment she saw him, Sha Jingjing tucked her tail between her legs and her body was still trembling slightly. Xia En asked curiously: "Huh? Sha Jingjing, what''s wrong with you?" Sha Jingjing shivered and said honestly: "No, it''s nothing." "The current Lord Holy Son is a bit scary..." ?In her eyes, Xia En was filled with a strong sense of oppression, like a giant beast in the deep sea, which made her instinctively uneasy. Like the reaction of wild animals when they encounter those stronger predators. ?Especially looking at those dark and deep eyes, it gave her the feeling of looking directly into the abyss. Obviously, this is because Xia En has just broken through and his aura has not yet completely converged. ?Xia En tried hard to control the breath around him and asked. How long have I been promoted? Sha Jingjing replied: Its been nearly a month. Its been a month? ?Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy. This time is actually about the same as he expected, but in this month, a lot of things can happen. ?Perhaps something happened on the Black Swan. ?Hence, Xia En no longer hesitated, and after bidding farewell to Sha Jingjing, activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the silver light door. After the light dissipates. Xia En returned to the [Black Swan]. Looking at the familiar layout in the captain''s cabin, Xia En suddenly felt at ease, as if he had returned home. In fact, isnt [Black Swan] already his home? Soon, a long whistle sounded on its own. Everyone on the ship felt the vibration and joy of the ship. It was like the cheers of thousands of people, and it was like the whole ship came to life and became active and vivid. ?Thats the [Black Swan] welcoming its captain! With a "bang", the door to the captain''s cabin was pushed open. ??Joy rushed in first and rushed over to hug Xia En. Mr. Captain, you are finally back! The girl''s eyes were filled with tears of joy. Xia En is always on the boat, so she doesn''t feel much. But this time when Shane broke through the retreat, Joey realized the irreplaceable importance of the captain. ?Obviously it was only a month since she last saw him, but to her, it felt like a century. ?Shaan rubbed Joeys little head and was a little surprised to find ?Joy, it seems he has grown up a bit. Not only the height has increased, but also certain parts of the body have undergone some changes. Probably from the Xiao Long Bao in the South to... the Xiao Long Bao in the North? This was a judgment that Xia En made subconsciously when they hugged each other. It was just an accident. ?But just think about it. ?Judging from the days of the Siren''s blood transformation, Joey is obviously still in the developmental stage, and it is natural for him to continue to grow up. Wow, its Mr. Captain! Xian Ge''s excited voice sounded outside the door: "Hiss... Why does it feel like Captain Xia En has become so much stronger!" This breath is like a [secret sea]. Fei Ya grabbed the back of Xian Ge''s neck, as if holding a big cat, to prevent it from rushing into the captain''s cabin. "Please calm down, didn''t you see Joey making out with the captain?" Huh? Make out? Xiange asked confusedly: "What does that mean?" Hearing this, Joey stood up with a red face and said to the door: "You all come in." ?Not long after, all the crew members came to Xia En, and even the lazy salted fish ghost Vivian floated in. ?Seeing that they were safe and sound, Xia En couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, Xia En noticed that one crew member was missing. He frowned slightly and asked. Where is Yan Yan? (End of this chapter) Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-enter th Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-entering the [Land of Glory] Where is Yan Yan? ?Hearing Xia En''s question, the crew couldn''t help but fell silent, and the atmosphere became slightly gloomy. The joy of meeting the captain just now seemed to be diluted by this. Looking at their expressions, Xia En roughly guessed what happened, so he sighed. Did he really leave after all? Finally, it was Joey who spoke: "The thing is like this..." ??As Joey told it, Xia En quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little complicated. YanyanXinwang Although Xia En had already made guesses from some clues in the past. ??But when he heard this information with his own ears, he was still in a trance. ?The last king of the last era, the founder of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the Xinwang Treasure who left the [Xinwang Treasure] as the spark of civilization, actually once served as his own crew. And like ordinary crew members, they obeyed their orders seriously and meticulously. ?Thinking about it this way, this seems like a pretty big deal? ?When he thought that Yan Yan had left, Xia En felt melancholy, but also a little happy that he had regained his memory. After all, no one wants to live in a state of confusion for the rest of their lives. ?Recovering his memory means that Yan Yan has regained his identity as King Xin and can continue his unfinished business in the past. For Yan Yan personally, this may be a happy thing, right? ?However, after confirming Yan Yans identity, Xia En couldnt help but have many questions. ?Why was Yan Yan picked up by him on the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea]? What is the reason why he lost his memory? Why did King Xin and Dayan Kingdom fall like meteors back then? ??Did Yan Yan ever have a war with the enemy in [Lenglie Sea]? ?But who is the enemy Yan Yan faces? ? Could it be [Husi Ming] who invades this world? The answers to these questions are buried in the shadow of history, and Xia En has no way of knowing them. ?Probably, only Yan Yan can answer his doubts. At this time, Joey continued: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Captain, when we contacted other merchant ships, we learned that several major events have happened in the recent Seven Seas..." Not long after, Xia En got a general understanding of the major events in Qihai this month from Joey''s mouth. Including the battles between the three major esoteric religions, the entrapment of the "King", and the prophecy of the "Second Great Flood". After listening, Xia En had a strange expression. Didnt he just shut himself up once? Why did so many things happen in Nanami? ?However, Xia En still had expectations for the battle between the [Truth Society] and [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect]. In the final analysis, the initiator of this melee was none other than himself! Xia En also did not expect that his words to the Netherworld cultists in the submersible in the deep sea would have such a good effect. ?Perhaps at that time, the other party really regarded himself as the spokesperson of [Lord of the Deep] in the human world? As for the prophecy of the Second World-Destroying Flood ?This news made Xia En somewhat unexpected. He already knew from Augustines mouth that the coming of the World-Destroying Flood was [Hui Si Ming]s method to involve the world in Filthy Chaos. ?So, will this second great flood be caused by the same reason? Xia En always felt that something was wrong. There is no other reason than that the interval between these two great floods was a little too close. Even the butcher knows that before killing a pig, you must first fatten the pig before killing it. At present, the civilization on the Seven Seas is clearly still in its infancy, and it will take a long time to reach its peak. ?Even if [Huisi Ming] planned to harvest, he shouldnt start so soon. Xia En vaguely felt that there must be some hidden secret that he didn''t know yet. But having said that, judging from the strange attitude of the Federation and the recent cessation of the war between the three major esoteric sects, the credibility of this prophecy is probably still very high. This is not an alarmist doomsday prediction. Speaking of which, Yan Yan said that the destination of his trip was the far north where the great flood originated. On the sidelines, Joey speculated: "Maybe it has something to do with this prophecy, right?" The land of the far north ?Shaan muttered the name in a low voice. ?He once went to the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea], but instead of continuing to explore north, he went all the way south. Looking back now. When he first approached the [Ice and Snow Island], the reason why Xia Ens [Salt Kings Certificate] was constantly agitated was not because there was a [Salt King Treasure] on the island. Its because the real Salary King is on that island! ??And the huge warship that the [Black Swan] encountered when leaving the [Cold Sea] should be the [King] that has been rumored recently. The frozen underwater ruins under the [Cold Sea], the [Emerald Ancient City] burned to ashes, the [Emerald Holy City] where elves live... ?Xia En didnt feel anything when he experienced it before. But now, it was difficult for him not to associate these strange scenes with the Far North. Dont forget, before the great flood came, the Great Yan Kingdom founded by King Xin was located in that icy land. It is conceivable that there must be countless secrets buried in that land. ?Shane seems to have found a lot of key points now. ?However, there is a lack of a thread that connects these points together, making the truth of the matter still hidden in the fog and not clear. Xia En thought for a moment, but couldn''t get any results. He couldn''t help but let out a long breath and looked a little gloomy. ??Joy looked at Xia En and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Captain, where should we go now?" Continue to move towards [Liu Li Island]? In this month, [Black Swan] has actually completely returned to its full glory. Just because Xia En went into seclusion and Yan Yan left, the crew was unable to determine the direction to move forward. Some crew members believe that they should go directly to the Far North. It is not only to find Yan Yan, but also to solve the upcoming disaster of the world. Other crew members believed that they should act in accordance with the captains original order and continue to rush to [Liu Li Island]. No one on either side can convince the other. In the end, only a compromise solution can be reached. [Black Swan] continued to move towards [Liu Li Island], but the speed slowed down. Prevent Xia En from waking up and trying to turn the ship around, only to find that most of his time was wasted. So until now, [Black Swan] has not arrived at [Liu Li Island]. After listening to Joeys explanation, Shane understood everything immediately. He thought for a moment and made a decision quickly. Continue to [Liu Li Island]! They went all the way south from the [Lenglie Sea] and passed through the [Magnetic Sea Area] and [Sea of ??Annihilation], spending a lot of time on the way. Now turning back again, it is obvious that it cannot be reached in a short time. ??Also, lets talk about something realistic. ?With the current strength of Xia En and others, even if they find Yan Yan, they cannot keep him on the ship. And if they want to intervene in the catastrophic disaster, the crew''s combat power is completely insufficient. ??Instead of rushing towards the far north regardless of safety, it is better to concentrate on development for a period of time. ?Perhaps, there is the answer to the question he wants to know on [Liu Li Island]. With Shane making the decision, the crew had no objections. Soon, the [Black Swan] made a high-pitched cry. The steam turbine deep in the cabin is beating continuously like a heart, bursting out powerful power. The majestic bow of the ship broke through the waves ahead, stirring up a series of snow-white foam and ripples on both sides of the hull. The speed of the entire ship continued to increase, and it moved forward in an indomitable manner. After finishing the pleasantries with the crew. ?Xia En opened the [Glory Crystal Mirror], and his consciousness sank into the [Glory Land] filled with light. Having just returned to [Seven Seas World], he needs to obtain more valuable information as soon as possible. Brilliant Crystal Mirroris undoubtedly the best choice. However, upon entering the [Land of Glory], Xia En discovered... ?This space seems a little empty. In the ancient and vast square, there were more than a dozen vague light groups scattered very sparsely. ??Although it is not the day when the archbishop holds a rally, the number of believers in the square is still much smaller than what Sean remembered. [Black Light] Senior, you are here! Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this, a familiar, clear young voice sounded behind him. Xiaobai, its you. Shaan turned his head and greeted this milky white light group. ?This group of light is the young priest who originally talked to Xia En. ?In subsequent exchanges, Xia En gradually became familiar with him and learned that his code name was "Xiao Bai." She is one of the netizens Xia En is familiar with in [Land of Glory]. [Black Light] Senior, where have you been during this time? The archbishop held several meetings, but he didnt see you. ?Xiaobai said with both curiosity and concern: "A few days ago, after we officially started the war with the [Truth Society], many of our companions unfortunately died." I thought you also Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood the reason why the [Glory Land] became deserted. Obviously, in the battle with the Truth Society, a considerable number of Hui sect believers died. ?This couldn''t help but make Xia En feel a little bit guilty. After all, this war started because of him. ?However, Xia En has not forgotten the true face of the [Lord of Billions of Glory]. A sect that believes in foreign gods may not be a good thing for the [Seven Seas World]. at the same time. Xia En also felt strongly vigilant and said to himself. The strength of the [Truth Society] is truly terrifying. Facing the siege of two major secret sects, it can still cause such heavy casualties. It is worthy of being one of the most mysterious forces in the Seven Seas. He has already underestimated the strength of the [Truth Society]. But now it seems that [Hui Sect] and [Yushu Sect] alone cannot completely eliminate [Truth Society]. While Xia En and Xiao Bai were talking. Other nearby Hui sect believers also noticed his arrival. ?Who made the black light emitting from Xia En''s body so conspicuous? Not long after, a believer with a purple soul light group came over and questioned Xia En. [Black Light]! Where have you been these days? Obviously we are all fighting **** battles with the lunatics of the [Truth Society], why dont we see you contributing in the battle? ??The purple believer''s tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction, even vaguely targeted. His anger is not difficult to understand. ??The person who originally delivered the oracle was Xia En, and it was Xia En who led to the war with the [Truth Society]. However, during the battle, Xia En was not seen taking any action, and even disappeared for a time. It''s like a deserter. This purple believers friends and relatives all died in the battle, so his resentment became even more obvious. ?Shaan frowned. He didn''t want to explain this kind of problem at first, and wanted to find an excuse to excuse it. But suddenly, his brows jumped, and he noticed a white-gold light group in the crowd staring at him. ?There seemed to be a strange halo flowing in the other party''s eyes. Shortly afterwards, several lines of information appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Description: A pupil technique that can identify the authenticity of words. "Um?" Xia En was startled, and soon realized that this was the effect of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. ? He ??originally thought that this talent only took effect on [Secret Realms], but now, it is obvious that it can also see through secrets. ?So, after thinking about it, Xia En said: "These days, I am busy with promotion rituals, so I am unable to participate in rallies and battles in time." I can understand if you blame me for this. However, if you say that I did not contribute in this war, then I cannot agree with it. The purple believer was obviously a little dissatisfied: "Then tell me, what have you done?" A month ago, I dived into the deep sea alone and killed a first-generation species of [Scion of Yousui], thereby drawing [Yousui Sect] into this war. Xia En sneered: "If [Youshu Sect] hadn''t taken action, our [Hui Sect]''s casualties would have been even more severe, right?" "[The Descendants of Yousui]...the first generation...drew the [Yousui Sect] into trouble?" The more the Purple Believers heard, the more ridiculous they felt: "[The Descendants of Yousui] are at least in the deep sea thousands of meters below, and the [First Generation Species] among them only appear at a distance of close to 10,000 meters." There is a limit to how much you can lie! At this time, the white-gold light group next to him came out, looked at Xia En with shocked eyes, and said. Everything he said is true. Lord Star! ?This platinum light group obviously has a very high prestige among believers. The moment he appeared, several people saluted him. However, after hearing [Xingchen]s words, people couldnt help but be stunned. They were also curious as to why the [Netherworld Sect] launched an attack on the [Truth Society] so coincidentally at almost the same time. But it was only now that they knew the truth. Its just that this truth is a bit too incredible. This, how is this possible? ??The purple believer''s eyes widened, still in disbelief. int The purple believer shook his head quickly: "I don''t dare to..." [Xingchen] turned around, walked towards Xia En, and then bowed deeply. [Black Light] Your Excellency, thank you for your contribution. I also apologize to you on behalf of my useless subordinate. (End of this chapter) Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] explorat Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] exploration! [Black Light] Your Excellency, Im sorry. ?After seeing [Xingchen] apologize for himself, the believer who was emitting purple light also gritted his teeth and quickly lowered his head to Xia En. Xia En nodded in response. ? At this moment, he also saw that this purple believer and [Xingchen] probably knew each other in reality, and they were in a superior-subordinate relationship. originally probably wanted to use the purple believers to test Xia En. ??If Shane had told a lie, it would undoubtedly be used as an excuse for criticism. Obviously, after suffering a very heavy sacrifice, some people within the Hui Religion began to have doubts about Xia En. After all, the oracle is unquestionable. The only person who can be doubted is naturally the person who delivers the oracle. ?However, [Xingchen] obviously did not expect that after asking, he would get such an answer. On the contrary, it increased Xia En''s prestige in front of many believers. ?Xiao Bai on the side opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia En in amazement. It turns out that the reinforcements from [Netherworld Sect] were found by senior [Black Light]. Those guys who believe in the ancient gods have always been stubborn and rigid. It is not easy to deal with them. I can only say that...he is indeed a senior [Black Light]! ?Xiaobai is young and knows limited secrets, so he failed to realize the key point of Xia En''s words just now. But the other Hui sect believers in the crowd could not help but change their expressions slightly and began to communicate in low voices. The [first-generation species] among the [Sirs of Yousui]... I remember that there are only nine of them in the entire Seven Seas, right? Furthermore, it is said that the [First Generation Species] already possesses some of the immortal abilities of the [Netherworld Lord]. Even if you suffer fatal injuries, you can still come back to life in the deep sea in an incredible way. [Black Light] Seniors Beheading, what exactly is it..." Hearing these whispers, Xia En''s expression was a little strange, and he thought to himself. Huh? There are only nine [first-generation species]? So, it seems like it still has some kind of remarkable existence? Xia En originally thought that the [first-generation species] was just a relatively rare deep-sea creature, but now it seems that their rarity seems to be beyond his expectation! There are only nine in the entire [Seven Seas World]? Furthermore, this number seems to have been maintained for a long time. As a result, you ate one of them during a [deep sea hunting]? Let alone other people, even Xia En himself felt it was a bit outrageous. ?However, Xia En was able to confirm that the previous [first-generation species] that looked like a giant squid was indeed dead. Its secret power and flesh and blood have become the nourishment for Xia En''s growth, and there is no possibility of resurrection. Perhaps, among the [first-generation species] of [Yousuis descendants], there are also strong and weak ones. Xia En analyzed secretly: "And the one I encountered happened to be the weakest among the [first-generation species]." "And its complete death may be related to my [Deep Touch]..." ?Thinking about it carefully, [Sir of Netherworld] may be the embodiment of [Secret Power of Netherworld]. Conventional attack methods, such as destroying the body, will only defeat the [Secret Power] and return it to the deep sea. When the [Deep Secret Power] gathers again, the [First Generation Seed] will be resurrected! I''m afraid, this is the truth about the immortality of [the first generation species]! ?Although it was just a guess, Xia En was 80% sure. Thinking about it now, the reason why that [first-generation species] is not too strong is probably because it has just been resurrected and has not yet returned to its peak state. ?During the battle, Xia En completely absorbed its [Netherworld Secret Power] and strengthened his own [Deep Touch]. This is when the first generation species died completely. ? Xia En has many thoughts in his mind, but in the eyes of other Hui sect believers, it is a sign that the senior masters do not care about rumors. After this episode, Xia En''s image became more and more unpredictable in the eyes of everyone. The awe in people''s hearts has inevitably deepened. After all, [Black Light] can kill even the [First Generation Species] known as the "immortal", and no one wants to be an enemy of such a being. ?Xia En also didnt expect that a few casual words would have such a good effect. But he did not forget the purpose of coming to the [Land of Glory]. Soon, Xia En asked Xiaobai: "Speaking of which, it seems that we have ceased war with the [Truth Society] recently? What''s going on?" Hearing this, Xiaobai looked indignant, but hesitated to speak. He glanced at the [star] next to him that was emitting platinum light. Let me speak. ǡ said frankly: "After all, I was the first to propose the peace talks." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Peace talks?" After the war between [Huijiao] and [Truth Society], the two sides have already formed a **** feud. If you want peace talks, you will definitely face great resistance. No wonder Xiaobai looked at him like this. ?However, Xia En thought about it and immediately guessed the root cause behind the peace talks. Is it because of the prophecy of the Second Flood? "Yes, we have verified from many sources that the disaster of annihilation is indeed coming." Under the overturned nest, how can there be any intact eggs? In the face of this kind of disaster, we should temporarily put aside our contradictions and find ways to get through this disaster first. Furthermore, it is said that it is a peace negotiation, but in fact, it is also a competition between the three major esoteric religions. Shane: Oh, how do you say it? Immediately, [Xingchen] recounted the conversation that took place in the unique [Secret Realm] to Xia En. Including the agreements and oaths made by the three major esoteric religions. The reason [Xingchen] knows so clearly is because...he himself is a witness to this peace meeting! ?This also shows his unusual identity. From beginning to end, [Xingchen]s attitude was very calm. Obviously, he believed from the bottom of his heart that what he did was right, so he had a clear conscience. In fact, there are many people who hold this idea in Huijiao. After all, once the whole world is flooded, even if the war between esoteric cults is won, everything will be meaningless. ?Compared with the resolute death struggle faction, this can only be said to be a conceptual difference. It cannot represent disloyalty to the Lord of billions of rays of light. ǡcontinues: "Moreover, we have reached an agreement on the surface." Secretly, we are also using unique secret techniques to lock the identities of [Truth Society] members. We have not forgotten the **** feud in the past! ?His words were so sonorous and powerful that the eyes of Xiaobai next to him changed slightly. "I see." Xia En was not surprised and simply asked: "Then have you found out the source of the great flood?" s expression froze under the light, and he shook his head helplessly: Not yet. The first batch of believers who went to the far north have not yet heard back. "However, the progress of the other two religions is definitely not that fast." Xia En shook his head: "That''s not what I want to say." Have you ever considered the possibility that those who are preparing to set off this world-destroying flood are none other than members of the [Truth Society]! You are stalling for time, and so are they. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. ?There is no other reason. This speculation is too sensational. ?This not only means that the [Truth Society] has been in an invincible position from the beginning in the competition between the three religions. It also means that the [Truth Society] may have been on the opposite side of the entire [Seven Seas World]. This, how is this possible... [Xingchen] looked dazed and said dullly: "No matter what, the [Truth Society] won''t be so crazy, right?" Xiaobai murmured to himself: "Destroying the entire world, what good will it do to them?" ?Of course, Xia En has no actual basis for this. ??But judging from the [Undertaker] encountered during the promotion ritual, the [Truth Society] is definitely secretly preparing some terrible plan. ?That plan not only exists in modern times, but also runs through the past and future, hidden in the cracks of history! ??Moreover, after witnessing with my own eyes the truth that the [Seven Seas World] is only a larger [Secret Realm] in the [Secret Sea]. Xia Ens horizons have broadened a lot. ?Perhaps, the [Truth Society] is preparing to reshape the order of the [Seven Seas World] with the help of the disaster of destruction. Perhaps the [Truth Society] wants to get rid of the restrictions of the [Seven Seas World] and go to a wider world? Intuition told Xia En that this was definitely something the [Truth Society] could do. ?However, guesses are just guesses after all. Xia En could not convince the people of the Hui Religion through this. His purpose was just to plant a seed in the hearts of the Hui Religion believers so that they would always be wary of the [Truth Society]. Subsequently, Xia En got another piece of information from Xiao Bai. Recently, the Seven Seas Federation has been gathering people with lofty ideals from all forces to go to the far north to face the disaster. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little strange. The Federation is so big, wouldnt it take some people several months just to go to the Far North? By then, wont we have missed the most critical period? Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, that''s normal." But it is said that some time ago, the Federations space transmission technology made a huge breakthrough. The Federation has decided to build teleportation platforms to the Far North near various important islands. In this way, people from the seven sea areas can reach that extremely cold land in time. ?Xia En suddenly understood, but he inevitably had some doubts in his heart. How could it be such a coincidence that the breakthrough in teleportation technology was completed just when the prophecy of the second great flood was spread? Or is it that this breakthrough has been achieved a long time ago, but the Federation has always used it as a trump card to suppress the situation, and it was not revealed until now? Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked: "Is there such a teleportation platform near [Liu Li Island]?" "certainly!" ?Xiaobai nodded heavily, then quickly realized something, and looked at Xia En in surprise. Senior [Black Light], are you near [Liu Li Island] right now? Xia En responded: "Yeah, what''s the matter?" Xiaobai said happily: "What a coincidence, I happen to be on [Liu Li Island], maybe we can meet him!" Hearing this, Xia En''s mood suddenly became a little strange. In short, it feels like netizens who have been chatting online for many days finally want to meet face to face. ?This time, will he put on a vest to hide his true identity? How about we just show off our cards and stop pretending? Just when Xia En was hesitating, he heard Xiao Bai''s excited thoughts. With the strength of Senior [Black Light], if you go to the far north, you will definitely be the first person to discover the secret of the Great Flood. ?Other believers are also full of faith. Senior [Black Light] takes action personally, and he will definitely be able to capture it! Perhaps, Mr. [Black Light] is the person predicted to prevent the catastrophe from coming! In fact, in the face of this second great flood, the people on the Seven Seas did not fall into despair, nor did they directly start various plans to preserve the fire of civilization. ? is because In the prophecy spread across the Seven Seas, there is actually another sentence. When the eyes of the whole world fall on the Far North, there may be people who will stand up in times of crisis, hold up the building before it collapses, and turn the tide before it collapses. No one knows who spread this prophecy. Some people say that it was a prediction made by a great fortune-teller who sacrificed his life. Some people say that it is the content recorded on an ancient stone tablet. In short, because of the existence of this prophecy, people in the Federation became panicked, and their morale did not collapse directly. They were even able to organize effective resistance. Some people still have small ambitions in their hearts. ?Perhaps the person who prevents the disaster is himself? Becoming the chosen one, accomplishing impossible feats, and gaining countless fame... Novels with this type of plot have always been very popular in the Seven Seas. ?However, when Xia En heard the believers talking like this, he couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. Members of the family know their own affairs. ??Although he has always maintained an enigmatic image in [The Land of Glory], that is actually the result of a combination of various chances and coincidences. Xia En himself is just a secret path user who has just entered the fifth level. Compared with those sixth-level and even legendary powerhouses, there is still a huge gap. Not long after, Xia En withdrew from [The Land of Glory]. ??This time "online", the most important information is the confirmation that there is a teleportation platform leading to the Far North around [Liuli Island]. ?In this way, Xia En does not need to spend a lot of time traveling. He can completely do what he wants to do on [Liu Li Island], and then use the teleportation array to go to the far north. Alas, I am still too weak. Xia En sighed softly. The prophecy of this world-destroying flood gave him a strong sense of urgency. With his current strength, I am afraid he is not even qualified to participate. Xia En said to himself: "Now, there are two ways to quickly improve your strength." The first is to go to [Liu Li Island] and conduct an all-round upgrade of the hull and various components of the [Black Swan]. The second is to improve career fit and break through to a new level as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En opened the panel and looked at the [Submarine Anchor Point] he left in the [Secret Sea]. This is the anchor point he left after sneaking into the space at the bottom of the [Diamond Star] ship. This is the time to use it! Start diving! (End of this chapter) Chapter 277 【The Secret Realm of the Furnace】 Chapter 277 [The Furnace Secret Realm] The familiar feeling of weightlessness came as expected. Xia En''s consciousness keeps falling and falling again... ?Its just that the feeling of this deep dive is different from previous dives. The chaotic darkness around him was obviously more solid and viscous than usual, giving him a strong sense of envelopment. ??Moreover, during the fall, Xia En clearly felt that he had passed through an indescribable barrier. At first, Shane encountered some resistance. But soon, as his [Secret Power of the Void] seeped out, this barrier was like a coded door with the correct password, allowing Xia En to enter and exit. Obvious. ?This is exactly the [World Barrier] that Xia En has seen during the promotion ritual. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little scared. ??If he tried to use the [Anchor Point] to dive into the [Secret Sea] before he was promoted to the fifth level, he might be blocked by this barrier, and he might even suffer unforeseen injuries. ?However, Xia En remembered the strange sea water under the cabin of the [Diamond Star]. Why can you directly reach the [Secret Sea] by diving into that seawater? ?? Could it be that, as Shane had guessed before, this [Diamond Star] is the projection of its body in the [Secret Sea], and is it so closely connected with the [Secret Sea]? Many complicated thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. Then, when the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, he opened his eyes. What comes into view is a deep and dark sea, so vast that its depth cannot be measured. ?Countless obscure lights and shadows flow rapidly in it. ????????????????????????????Some rays of light are scattered scatteredly, and some are gathered together like a river. In this dark background, it is as bright as a galaxy. Such a scene will always be shocking no matter how many times you see it. Xia En whispered in his heart: "[Secret Sea], I''m back again." To put it into perspective, this is actually the third time that Xia En has dived into the depths of the [Secret Sea]. The first time was during the first-level promotion ritual, when I accidentally performed a [submersible]. ??As a result, he directly ran into a giant thing in the [Secret Sea], and after hurriedly breaking into a world of light bubbles, he was kicked out. The second time, during the fourth-level promotion ritual, the [Submarine Anchor Point] was left in the [Secret Sea]. Before he took a second look, he was crushed by another huge will. ?However, the two [submersible voyages] were extremely short, and there was no valuable harvest. They could only be regarded as trials. Right now, its Xia Ens first official exploration of the [Secret Sea]! ?Xia Ens eyes swept across the chaotic light and shadow in front of him. Soon, his eyes were attracted by one of the nearest light spots, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Eye of Peeping Secretsactivates! Name of the secret realm: Unknown Whether there are traces of intelligent creatures: unknown Characteristics: Unknown Possible loot: unknown Relationship with "Seven Seas World": Very low Danger level: extremely high There are a lot of unknowns in the information that emerges in front of you. Obviously, this is because this [Secret Realm] is less related to the [Seven Seas World], and Xia En''s use of the [Peeping Eye] ability has yet to be developed. So the information I see is relatively limited. ??But even so, the information is by no means worthless. ?Just seeing the column [Danger Level: Extremely High], Xia En decisively gave up exploring this [Secret Realm] and turned to look at other light spots. ?However, maybe Shane was just unlucky. He looked at four or five light spots in succession, all of which were [Secret Realms] with extremely low correlation and extremely high risk. Then on second thought, its the same thing. The [Secret Sea] is so big, and the [Secret Realms] in it are more like countless stars. In such searches, we will definitely encounter [secret realms] that have nothing to do with the [Seven Seas World]. Continue to investigate like this, I dont know when we will find it. Maybe Im looking for it in the wrong way. ?Xia En said to himself, and then a sudden thought occurred. Perhaps, I can directly observe myself with the [Peeping Eye of Secrets], and use this to locate the [Secret Realms] that are highly related to the [Seven Seas World]? ?Shane just did it when he thought of it. He quickly calmed down and observed his [projection body]. Soon, Xia En saw that from the [Projection Body], there were many dry and dark things spreading like branches, faintly connected to several light points in the star sea. It really works! ?Xia En was in an uplifted mood and had some enlightenment. ?These black branches, which are as complex as thorn bushes, are most likely the connection between him and these [secret realms]. In the parlance of Xianxia novels, it is something like karma and fetters. In the Seven Seas, some mystics may use the word "thread of fate" to describe this wonderful connection. After all, Xia Ens body comes from the [Seven Seas World], and the [Secret Realm] related to it should have a high degree of correlation with the [Seven Seas World]. It didnt take long. Xia En found a light spot with more black branches and the closest distance. Secret Realm Name: Furnace Are there any traces of intelligent creatures: Yes Characteristics: "Hot", "Underground claustrophobia", "Shared language", "Trade possible"] Possible loot: lava mine; forging equipment; fire seeds... Relationship with "Seven Seas World": High Risk Level: High "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, the information displayed in this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] was quite comprehensive and rich. Let him immediately have a general understanding of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. ? Judging from various information, [The Furnace Secret Realm] seems to be a good place to explore. The only disadvantage is that the level of danger is higher. ??Xia En turned his head and looked into the distance. There was another light spot covered with many black branches, which was still quite some distance away. ?It will obviously take a lot of time to get there. In the previous process of searching for a highly relevant [Secret Realm], Xia En had already wasted part of the ship''s soul power. ?Besides, no one can guarantee that the next [Secret Realm] encountered will be better than the [Secret Realm of the Furnace]. ?From Xia Ens observation, the locations of different [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea] are actually changing all the time. ?Those flowing starlights are the trajectory of the [Secret Realm]. ?There seems to be some special pattern contained in it, but Xia En is not yet able to study it thoroughly. The current situation is... ???If you arrive near the next [Secret Realm], and that [Secret Realm] turns out to be more dangerous, and you miss the current [Secret Realm of the Furnace], wouldnt it be like drawing water from a bamboo basket but in vain? ?Xia En thought for a moment, decided not to be entangled, and went directly to the light spot in the [Furnace Secret Realm]. As he got closer, the light spots gradually turned into huge light bubbles, whose surface exuded a hazy and dense light, making it look beautiful. ?Looking closely, the surface of the light bubble still has a faint red color, but it is not obvious. Immediately afterwards, Xia En did not hesitate and hit the light bubble directly. ??A huge pulling force came at this moment, and he felt as if his soul was flying up and being pulled towards a certain existence in the [Secret Realm]. Its more like squeeze than pull. Xia En''s soul was forced into this existence under the influence of some external force. The next moment. ?The heavy touch from the real world came from the limbs, along with several strange sensations. Hot and dry. The smell of blood lingering on the tip of the nose, the smell of some kind of rotting corpse. ??Although Xia En''s [Projection Body] already has various senses, it always seems to be separated by a thin film, which is different from the original body. ?But the senses he was feeling at the moment seemed extremely real and clear, as if Xia En''s true body had arrived. Whats going on? ?Xia En moved his fingers with difficulty, only to feel that his body was unusually slow and numb. ?Even the simple action of opening your eyes seems extremely difficult. ?This uncomfortable feeling lasted for more than ten seconds, and the unspeakable numbness and dullness all over my body finally gradually faded away. ?Shaan felt as if he had awakened from a long hibernation and regained his ability to move little by little. Finally, Xia En opened his eyes and saw the surrounding scene clearly. All he saw was a groggy, underground cave-like space around him. ?On the ground not far away, there was a strange "kerosene lamp", and the swaying firelight reflected the scene inside the cave. A strange animal corpse three meters high and six to seven meters long was lying in front of Xia En. ?Its head seemed to have been hit by some kind of blunt instrument, and it was beyond recognition. ?Shaan could only barely tell that this was probably some kind of lizard-like monster. ?It is completely red, with red sarcomas on its back and crown, which look like organs that store energy. Fine scales are spread all over the body, and the four claws are very sharp. ?There are scars from being beaten with blunt objects all over the body of the lizard monster, and many places were directly dented. Dark red blood accumulated under its body, and the water evaporated under the high temperature, leaving only clots of clotted blood. Combined with the surrounding potholes on the ground and walls, it is not difficult to see that a fierce battle took place in this cave. One of the fighting parties has died, so where is the other party at this time? ?Suddenly, Xia En felt something was wrong. ?Perspective! ?His angle of view is much shorter than usual! Just now, Xia En''s attention was focused on the surrounding environment and he hadn''t noticed anything wrong yet. But when he looked up at the height of the lizard and the burrow, he suddenly woke up. ?Xia En quickly looked down at his right hand, and what he saw was a completely unfamiliar palm. ?This palm looks short and thick, and there is a layer of calluses. On the arm, he wears a unique style of arm armor, the craftsmanship is very complex and exquisite. Xia En looked at other parts of his body and found that not only his palms, but his entire body had become unusually short and thick. Like...the dwarves he had seen before! Obviously, this is definitely not his own body! Xia En looked shocked and murmured: "What''s going on?" He took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and carefully sensed his own condition. Soon, Xia En discovered that just like when he was [submersible] in the past, he could still feel the existence of his own body, and he could also release the [submersible] state at any time. In other words, the essence of his body is still the [projection body]. ??Its just that when entering the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], a special mutation occurred, causing the [Projected Body] to slip into a strange body. After Xia En carefully analyzed it, he immediately had a guess in his mind. ??The "squeezing" force he felt before was probably the repulsive force coming from the [Furnace Secret Realm]. After all, to this world, Shane is a veritable stowaway. This is different from the situation in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]. [Blood Moon Secret Realm] itself is a secret realm that relies on [Seven Seas World], and [Secret Realm] has always regarded the secret travelers of [Seven Seas World] as its own. ? And Xia En possesses the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], which is equivalent to being recognized by the [Rhine Secret Realm], and is even regarded as the [Lord of the Rhine]. So, he can decide to let outsiders enter the [Rhine Secret Realm] without being rejected by the will of the [Secret Realm]. But to [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is like a thief who broke into this place, and it is inevitable that he will be hostile. ?In this case, the [Projection Body] was forced to get into the body of an aboriginal in [The Furnace Secret Realm] to avoid the pressure of the will of the [Secret Realm]. ?However, this is obviously not without impact. ?Shaan glanced at the panel. Projector''s name: BronzebeardWarhammer Race: Dwarf Current comprehensive quality: 3.5! His current overall quality is only about one-third of what it was under normal conditions. Taking into account the need to adapt to an unfamiliar body, the combat power that Xia En can exert will only be lower. ?Of course, Xia En also realized that he could actually temporarily let the [projection body] leave this body to fight, thus unleashing his full combat power. ?However, doing so may cause the will of [Secret Realm] to be rejected, causing [Submarine] to end prematurely. It can be regarded as a trump card when forced to do so. After sorting out the situation, Xia En forced himself to stand up. It was then that he saw a huge war hammer lying next to the giant lizard corpse. At a rough estimate, it seems to be longer than the height of Shane''s body. Obviously, this is the weapon of this "Bronzebeard Warhammer". ?Xia En picked up the war hammer and felt warm and hard to the touch, and there was an inexplicable feeling like being driven by an arm. ?That is probably the muscle memory remaining in this body, which can be turned into some good fighting skills. This hammer ?Xia En looked at the warhammer carefully and was suddenly surprised. ?The entire hammer is made of an unknown material. It seems to have used some special forging process. The quality and hardness are very good. ?Furthermore, there is a special quenching pattern on the surface of the warhammer, which is a bit like flames and a bit like thorns. ?The strange thing is that this pattern actually gives Xia En a sense of familiarity. As if I have seen it somewhere. Quenchingforging Xia En suddenly realized: "By the way, it''s Xian Ge!" Bronze Dragon String Song seems to have similar lines generated when using [Forging Fire Technique]. At this moment. ?There was a sound of footsteps in the cave not far away. (End of this chapter) Chapter 278 【Fire】【Warhammer Tribe】 Chapter 278 [Fire Seed] [Warhammer Tribe] ?A rush of footsteps broke the silence in the underground cave. ?Xia En held the sledgehammer, turned his head, and looked warily towards the direction where the footsteps came from. I saw a group of dwarf warriors wearing refined armor walking out of a corridor, looking for something nervously and anxiously. The first thing they saw was naturally the huge red lizard and the horrific injuries on its body. Its the Salamander just now! It looks like he died not long ago, and there are signs of fighting nearby! Look around quickly, maybe Bronzebeard is still alive! Hearing these words, Xia En immediately understood that these dwarves came to search and rescue "himself". Based on Xia Ens observation just now, it has been basically determined ??Although the fire lizard was killed by a heavy hammer, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" also suffered irreparable injuries during the battle with it, and eventually died. This gave the [Projection Body] the opportunity to occupy this corpse. ?Thinking of this, Xia En let out a low groan: "Well..." Hearing the sound, the dwarves quickly passed over the body of the Salamander and saw Xia En who seemed to have just woken up from a coma. Thats great, Brother Bronzebeard! Its great to see you again. ??A bearded dwarf said excitedly: "You actually killed this beast alone. You are worthy of being the most heroic warrior in the tribe!" Another dwarf also expressed his happiness: "I thought... I would never see you again." ?But soon, the dwarves noticed that Xia En looked a little confused, as if he didn''t understand what was happening. Bronzebeard, are you okay? With vigilance in his eyes, Xia En said hoarsely: "Who are you...?" Hmm? Whats going on? Hearing this, the dwarves'' faces changed slightly and they said in surprise: "You, don''t you recognize us?" ?Xia En didnt speak, but looked at them suspiciously and warily. The dwarf doctor in the team carefully observed Shane''s condition and speculated: "His head seems to have been hit hard by the Salamander. This kind of injury may cause temporary amnesia." Hissamnesia Hearing this judgment, the dwarves looked a little sad. At first, the bearded dwarf even apologized: "It''s all my fault. If only I could come back with help as soon as possible..." In fact, Bronzebeard was not the only one who encountered the Fire Lizard before. It''s just that the strength of these companions is far inferior to Bronzebeard, and remaining will only become a drag. In order to cut off their rear, Bronzebeard took the initiative to stay and fight the Salamander. Dont be so pessimistic. The dwarf doctor said: "No matter what, Bronzebeard is still alive, he just lost his memory temporarily." In the future, there will be a chance to recover the memory. There may be other fire species lairs nearby, so wed better go home as soon as possible. The words of the dwarf doctor immediately attracted the recognition of others, so they carried the body of the fire lizard, took Xia En with them, and walked towards the way they came. Such a fire lizard is a very valuable trophy for the Warhammer tribe. ??Dwarves certainly have no reason to waste. ?Perhaps out of apology or concern, the bearded dwarf followed Xia En and took the initiative to speak. Let me introduce myself, I am Kull, and I was your good brother before you lost your memory. If you want to know anything, you can ask me. As he spoke, Kull patted Shane on the shoulder, with a hint of guilt still in his eyes. Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up slightly. The theory of "amnesia" was of course made up by him to deal with the dwarves. This is also the best strategy at the moment. After all, he inherited Bronzebeard''s body, but not the dwarf''s memory. If he communicated normally with the dwarves, the secret would be exposed soon. I have to say that although this routine is very old, it is more effective than it is! At this time, Kuhl is undoubtedly a good source of intelligence. Not long after, Shane asked Kuer several questions. ??Kul also answered with great patience. ?According to Kuhl, Shane learned that this group of dwarves had been living in this strange underground cave since birth. ?Countless complex and ancient tunnels, caves excavated at unknown times, and naturally formed caves... together constitute this huge underground world. In the mouths of the dwarves, this underground world is called... Ghana! means a space that is always hot and exists underground. ??The "Warhammer" tribe where Bronzebeard and Kull belong is only one of many dwarf tribes, and they are among the weaker ones. So the area where I live is relatively remote. It is said that those truly powerful and prosperous dwarf tribes have established real cities underground! Goooo! ??Just when Shane was asking for information from Kuhl, a dull roar suddenly came from the tunnel not far away. Hearing this sound, the dwarves couldn''t help but change their expressions. They quickly put down the body of the Salamander and hid in the corner of the cave. ??Kul also took Xia En and hid aside. All the dwarves held their breath, not even daring to take a breath. Obviously, they were very afraid of the roaring presence in the tunnel, as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Soon, the vague feeling of pressure and heaviness began to dissipate, the air became extremely hot, and the body temperature increased several degrees. Even with the physique of the dwarves adapted to the [Furnace Secret Realm], sweat could not help but drip from their bodies, and their backs were covered with sweat. Fortunately, this heavy pressure did not last long. For a moment, the being hidden in the tunnel seemed to have turned away from the cave and gradually moved away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started to act again. ??Kul also took a long breath and said to himself: "It was so dangerous...I almost hit another Agni." Fire type? ?Xia En asked curiously. ? He ??remembered that in the [Possible Loot] column of [The Furnace Secret Realm], "Fire Seed" appeared. ??Moreover, the lizard that Bronzebeard killed earlier also had a simple and crude name like "Salamander". Brother Bronzebeard, you have even forgotten this... ??Kul glanced at Shane sympathetically, but still explained: "In this underground world, dwarves have never been the real masters." Fire is the favorite of [Ghana]. They are born with strong bodies, hard scales, and can directly control fire. Only a team of dwarves can kill a Salamander like before. Speaking of this, the guilt in Kulls eyes became even greater. "Brother Bronzebeard, if you hadn''t lost your memory, your victory over the Fire Lizard alone would rank among the top five in our clan." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. He was a little surprised before. With the strength displayed by these dwarves, they did not seem to be very dangerous to the [Projection Body]. ?Now that I think about it, the real danger is not necessarily the dwarves, but the fire seeds hidden deep in the caves. ?That is the real strong man in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. ?However, Xia En couldn''t help but think of another question. ??These dwarves, in terms of racial characteristics, are no different from the dwarves in the [Seven Seas World]. It can even be said that they are the same species! ?So, why do dwarves live in the [Forge Secret Realm]? ??Moreover, from Kuhls description, they have lived here for at least hundreds of years? ?Xia En had a bold guess in his heart. Perhaps, the ancestors of these dwarves came from the [Secret Sea World]! They came to the [Secret Realm of the Furnace] through some special method and settled here, continuing the race to this day. So, the Agni people are the original inhabitants of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. The dwarves are just a group of outsiders! This can also explain why [The Furnace Secret Realm] has a high degree of correlation with [Seven Seas World]. Why the Agni species naturally have great advantages in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The reason why Xia En came up with this guess was because he recalled the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Hundreds of years ago, when the first great flood came. Since those despicable vampires can choose to sacrifice the residents of a city, let the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] break away from the [Seven Seas World] and sink into the [Secret Sea], thereby avoiding the disaster of annihilation. ?Then, dwarves may also have the ability to hide in other [secret realms]. ?Although this is just a guess, Xia En is already 70% to 80% sure. There is no sunlight in caves located underground. But in the walls of the tunnel, a red crystal can occasionally be seen, emitting a faint but firm light. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like there is a fire burning deep in the rock wall. ?Kool explained to Shane that it was a specialty of [Ghana] - lava mine. Not only can it play a lighting role, as a fuel for "mining lamps", it is also widely used in the forging of various equipment and weapons. The so-called "mining lamp" is the weird lamp that Shane saw before. It is also one of the necessary equipment for every dwarf to travel. ?However, even if the lava mines were so useful, the dwarves would not dig out the lava mines in every rock wall. Instead, they will deliberately leave some lava mines for lighting in important passages. Because in this world, darkness is a very terrifying existence. ??If a dwarf is in a dark environment, he will start to murmur meaninglessly within a day, and his rationality will gradually slip towards madness. The longer the time goes on, the more unstable the mind will become. Even if they return to the light after this, they will leave indelible mental scars. No dwarf can last three days in the absence of light. Because once the three days are up, the dwarf will mysteriously disappear and never be seen again, as if... he was completely swallowed by some existence in the darkness. Because of these complex reasons, the closer we get to the Warhammer tribe, the more lava minerals contained in the rock walls increase. The passage also looks brighter and brighter. At the same time, the temperature in the air is gradually heating up, and there is a slight burning feeling on the surface of the body. ?However, the dwarves such as Kuhl are very adaptable to the temperature here, with a relaxed smile on their faces. Obviously, in the long process of survival and evolution, the dwarves have also evolved a physique adapted to the [Forge Secret Realm]. After passing through a slightly lengthy tunnel. Xia En''s vision suddenly broadened. What appeared in front of us was a spacious space like an underground hall. ??In the central rock formation above this underground space, there is a huge red crystal, like a small sun, providing light to the entire space. On the surrounding rock walls, there are scattered caves embedded in themthese are the residences of each dwarf. ?Although it may seem a bit sloppy, this kind of collective settlement can greatly protect the safety of ordinary dwarves. In the center of the entire space, there stands a huge furnace. Something seems to be being forged in the furnace. Around the furnace, several strong dwarves were beating a red metal block with hammers larger than their bodies. Dang! clang! clang! With a sonorous and powerful knocking sound, the metal block gradually took shape, and many small scale-like lines appeared on the surface. At this time, one of the dwarves with white beard and hair poured a basin of thick blood onto the metal block. With a "chi" sound, blood-colored steam steamed up. The unique secret power in the blood is integrated into the metal block in a wonderful way, giving it a magical luster. Xia En watched this scene intently, and couldn''t help but feel a little amazed in his heart. ?He has long heard that the dwarves'' forging skills are extremely excellent, and when he saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. But then again, as far as Xia En knows... The dwarves of the Seven Seas seem to have lost some important inheritance, causing the forged equipment to lose its soul and deteriorate in quality. Now, Xia En was able to witness a lost skill, and he was inevitably shocked. At this time, the forging of the dwarves seemed to have come to an end temporarily. ??The dwarf with a white beard and bare arms also noticed the return of Xia En and others, and stretched out his hand to greet them. Bronzebeard, Kull, are you back? Thats good, I even brought back a fire lizard. Im worried that the blood of the fire lizard is not enough! ??Kul was about to speak but stopped: "Master Patriarch..." "Um?" ??The patriarch named Hope has a straightforward personality and couldn''t stand Kull''s hesitant attitude, so he asked. If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, let it go! What does it look like? Hearing this, Kull had no choice but to say: "Brother Bronzebeard seemed to have injured his brain during the battle with the Salamander and temporarily lost his memory." As soon as these words came out, all the dwarves were shocked and looked at Xia En with surprised eyes. ?Xia En also noticed something was wrong at this time. Under normal circumstances, this kind of amnesia should not be publicized in such a big way. Or does Cool have other purposes? ?Hope glanced at Kull with a hint of meaning, then turned to look at Shane and asked: "Bronzebeard, is that so?" ?Shane nodded "confused" and "innocently", playing the state of an amnesia patient very well. ??Hope said calmly: "Okay, Bronzebeard, you go back to your cave to rest first." Ill come find you later. (End of this chapter) Chapter 279 Malice from the world Chapter 279 Malice from the world Shaen, who had "amnesia", naturally couldn''t remember where his cave was. Under the leadership of a dwarf, he returned to his "home". It is said to be "home", but in fact the interior layout of this cave is extremely simple. ?There is only a stone bed and a stone bench. ?The walls are decorated with animal heads, skins and swords, hanging even a little messily. From this, it can be seen that, except for the advanced forging technology, the living conditions of the dwarves are definitely not very good. ??Moreover, Xia En was the only one in this simple living room. Previously, from Kull, Shane learned that Bronzebeards parents had passed away long ago and there were no other relatives in the family. This is undoubtedly good news for Shane, which greatly reduces the possibility of him being exposed. Along the way, he also heard some whispers among the dwarves, and then he understood the meaning of the meaningful look in Chief Hope''s eyes. It turns out that Kull and Bronzebeard are the two most prestigious young men in the Warhammer tribe. ??Kul is good at forging and blacksmithing. Bronzebeard is extremely talented in combat - as evidenced by the fire lizard that died with him earlier. The two of them are also regarded by other tribesmen as candidates for the next tribe leader. This time, Kull and Bronzebeard went out together. As a result, Bronzebeard accidentally lost his memory, but Kull was unscathed, which inevitably makes people a little suspicious. Back in the cave, Xia En touched his chin and whispered to himself: "That''s it." ?He had vaguely sensed something was wrong before. ??Kool''s attitude towards himself was particularly enthusiastic, and when he said the word "good brother", his expression was slightly weird. ?However, Xia Ens purpose is not simple either. ?Coupled with the stereotype that dwarves have always been straightforward and reckless, he subconsciously ignored these anomalies. ?But thinking about it now, Xia En immediately realized that Bronzebeard''s death in the battle might not be a coincidence, but a long-planned conspiracy. ?Perhaps, when Bronzebeard was cutting off Kull''s rear, Kull deliberately slowed down his return with reinforcements. By the time the dwarves arrived at Bronzebeard''s side, it was already too late. ??Kul can also safely sit on the throne of the next patriarch. But no one expected that a shadow from outside the [Furnace Secret Realm] would occupy Bronzebeard''s body, and this was the story behind it. ?Of course, there are still many things in this guess that Sean has not been able to confirm, and some are even just subjective inferences. But mere speculation is enough. In fact, Shaan is not very interested in Bronzebeard''s interpersonal relationships, or even the Warhammer tribe as a whole. After all, the combat power of this group of dwarves is not that strong. Even the white-bearded dwarf leader, in Xia Ens opinion, has about a third-level combat power. Even if Xia En does not use the trump card of [Projection Body] and only uses the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer", he may still be able to defeat the opponent. Strength is confidence! From another perspective, the identity of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is also something that can be given up for Xia En. ?? I am really forced to do it as a last resort, so I just show my cards and stop pretending! So, although Xia En vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, he did not take the initiative to do anything. He only thought that the soldiers would come to block it and the water would come to cover it up. Compared with these trivial matters, he cares more about... What can you bring to yourself by exploring the [Forge Secret Realm]? ?Xia En''s eyes flashed with thought, and he quickly listed several goals in his mind. First of all, that strange lava mine is a specialty of [The Furnace Secret Realm] and may have unique effects. He will definitely get a few pieces to take back to [Seven Seas World]. Secondly, the body structure of Agni is very different from the creatures in the Seven Seas World. ?This creature itself is a precious material. Finally, the unique forging and smelting secrets of the dwarves are also very valuable. ?From Xia Ens observation, the properties of materials forged by dwarves tend to be greatly improved. And extremely solid and durable. Such a stable output will be a very popular product whether it is for personal use or for trade. ?However, Xia En obviously does not have the energy and time to learn this technology by himself - it is too late for him to just improve his own strength, so where can he find the time to become a blacksmith? ?Thinking of this, Xia En had a dangerous idea in his mind. It would be great if we could kidnap a few dwarf craftsmen "Um?" ?Xia Ens eyes widened slightly, as if he had discovered a blind spot. ?That''s right, he himself didn''t have time to learn the dwarves'' forging techniques, but as long as he packed the dwarves directly and took them away, wouldn''t there be so many problems? Not only the dwarves, but also their homes, these huge furnaces and hammers, were also taken away. ?Of course, Xia En did not intend to take the dwarves away by force like the slave trade. ?Given that the environment of [Rhine Secret Realm] is much better than [Furnace Secret Realm], maybe there will be a group of dwarves willing to leave with him? Just like the previous [Moon-Yong Clan] and [Treant Clan]. By then, [Rhine Secret Land] will not only have a hard-working labor force, but also craftsmen who master advanced craftsmanship. The construction of [Rhine City] will definitely advance rapidly. The excess equipment forged can also be traded on the Seven Seas in exchange for seeds, materials and equipment. Even one day, maybe Xia En can cultivate a kingdom of his own in the [Rhine Secret Realm]? Just imagining that scene, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but beat fast, and he felt a strong sense of anticipation. ?However, dreams are very full and reality is very skinny. At this time, a crucial question was placed in front of Xia En He must first have the ability to take away the dwarves and the lava mine! Shane has just checked. Probably because it is in the [submersible] state and is in another [secret realm]. The space ring on his body cannot be used, and the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] on his chest has temporarily lost its response. This means that the only loot he can take away is the one at the end of [Submarine]! There is still a long way to go to establish a stable passage between [Seven Seas World] and [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The secret technique that connects two [secret realms] ?Xia En touched his chin and remembered the **** full moon on the sea. That was the way for vampires to enter the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Since this precedent exists, there will definitely be similar secret techniques in the Seven Seas. As one of the centers of the Federation, [Liu Li Island] may have records of such secret techniques. ?Thinking of this, Xia En silently remembered this matter in his heart. Just when Shane was thinking about these questions. In the open space below, many dwarves were enthusiastically dismantling the body of the Salamander. For the dwarves, fire seeds are full of treasures! Their flesh and blood is food. It can nourish the bodies of dwarves, allowing them to become stronger and gradually adapt to the hot environment. Their blood is an indispensable raw material for forging equipment, and can provide mysterious and strange blessings to the equipment. Their claws and scales are all made of fine materials. Some of them can be used as useful tools with just simple polishing. When the Salamander was disembowelled, its bronze skeleton was exposed. Xia En couldn''t help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes. ?He was still curious before, obviously he didnt see any metal mines in [Forge World], so where did the metal on the hammer and armor come from. ?Now, when he saw the skeleton inside the Salamander, Xia En understood everything immediately. It turns out that these fire species have some special ability to continuously absorb metal elements from the air, soil, and food, and integrate these metal elements into their own bones. For ordinary creatures, this is undoubtedly a road to death. But for the Agni, this has already become their instinct. Thats why their bones become natural metal mines and become the materials used by the dwarves for forging. In the mouths of the dwarves, there seem to be different standards for classifying the fire types. ?Like the one brought back by Xia En and others, it is a "bronze" fire type. Soon, the dwarves dug out a large red crystal from the heart of the Salamander. Even though the Salamander has been dead for a long time, this crystal is still emitting a hot and bright light. It is the lava deposit that exists in the rock wall! Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised again. The lava mine is actually the heart of the fire species? ?The red light in the walls of [The Furnace Secret Realm], could it be the corpses of one fire species after another? Or should we say that every fire species is born in a rock formation with lava as its core? ?No matter what, this discovery made Xia En feel very novel. The world is full of wonders. Different environments have created different ecosystems and ways of living. In every secret realm, there will probably be a unique and exclusive race like [Fire Type]. at the same time. ?In the corner of the cave, the bearded Kuhl also returned to his home. ?But as soon as he entered the cave, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, pacing back and forth, and muttering to himself at the same time. How could...how could it be possible... Bronzebeard actually killed a Salamander and survived? Soon, a strong female dwarf walked out of the cave. According to the dwarven aesthetic standards, her appearance is very iconic, and she can be regarded as a "beauty." This female dwarf is called Mary, and she is Kull''s wife. Hearing Kull''s voice, Mary''s expression also changed slightly: "What? Your plan failed?" ??Kul was obviously a little afraid of his wife, and said cowardly in a low voice: "It''s not a complete failure..." The current Bronzebeard has lost his memory. ?Mary sneered and said: "But he still survived, and he is much stronger than you!" Oh no, to be precise, he should be stronger than before, right? Are you sure that no matter which tribe you belong to, only the strong can become the leader? Even the level of forging is important, but the leader of a clan must still be able to fight! ?Mary''s words poured out like a barrage of cannonballs, severely penetrating Kull''s already fragile defense. Ive said it before, as long as Bronzebeard is alive, you will never be the leader of the Warhammer Tribe! As she spoke, Mary''s eyes showed a little regret. If I had known you would be so indecisive, maybe I shouldnt have left my tribe to marry you! ?This sentence was undoubtedly extremely lethal to Kuhl. He covered his face in great pain and asked helplessly. Then what should I do now? ?Mary''s tone was still cold: "If you find an opportunity, do it again." ??Kul muttered to himself in confusion: "But now that he has returned home, where can he find an opportunity?" As long as you are willing to wait, there is always an opportunity ?Mary''s eyes were burning with dark fire as she murmured to herself. ?The reason why she insists on making Kuhl the leader of the Warhammer tribe is of course not just because of the so-called vanity, but also because of her mission. Where there are people, there will be strife. ??Dwarves are no exception. The tribe that Mary came from is a "Barbarian Axe Tribe" that is closer to the "Warhammer Tribe". Due to conflicts over territory and resources, there were frequent struggles between the two tribes, and a battle even broke out at one point. ?And Mary is the chess piece laid by the Wild Ax Tribe in the Warhammer Tribe. Although the dwarves are generally straightforward and reckless, it does not mean that there are no people among them who are good at conspiracy. ?In the Wild Ax Tribes vision, as long as Mary becomes the wife of the next leader, she can annex the Warhammer Tribe. At the beginning, Bronzebeard and Kull, as outstanding young men among the younger generation, pursued Mary, a dwarf beauty. But at that time, Bronzebeard had not yet shown his fighting talent. So, Mary chose Cool as her husband. Who would have thought that later, Bronzebeard''s strength would advance by leaps and bounds, but Kull would fall behind. In order to complete her mission, Mary came up with the evil plan, and this led to the current conversation. But for Kuhl, this is undoubtedly a double torture. On one side are your own tribe and your former friends. On the other side, there is the desire for power in his heart and his beloved wife. Such a pulling feeling almost drove him crazy! Mary, why dont you forget it? Its a good day like this, isnt it? Looking at Kull who looked pained and cautious, Mary''s eyes flashed with pity. But the next moment, the softness in her eyes was replaced by determination. She still has the stubborn and persistent character of a dwarf after all, and will never give up until she achieves her goal! ?However, Mary had not yet said anything. Boom! From the depths of the cave across the layers of rock walls, there was a sudden roar. Immediately afterwards, the rock walls around the two people began to shake violently. Click click The entire underground space was shaking, and dust and gravel continued to fall from the ceiling. The incident occurred suddenly, and the dwarves of the Warhammer tribe fell into panic. What happened? Is the cave, is the cave going to collapse? ?Among the panicked dwarves, only the patriarch Hope remained calm. ?His face was extremely ugly and he murmured: "The ground is rumbling! The ground is rumbling!" In the cave, Xia En couldn''t help but frowned, his expression solemn. For some reason, he had a strong premonition. ?This sudden disaster came because of him! Its like That is the malice from the whole world! (End of this chapter) Chapter 280 [Metal Furnace] [Lizard King] Chapter 280 [The Furnace Strategy] [The Lizard King] ??Rumble Violent vibrations shook the underground space. Rock formations, rock walls, caves and other structures appear less stable and safe under this huge force. There were gravels constantly falling from the top of the head, and even the light from the lava mines in the rock wall became a little dim. What frightens the dwarves even more is the roar one after another coming from the deeper space. It seems that if this continues, the entire underground cave will collapse and bury them all in it! Is this the sound of the earth? ?Xia En frowned, and his mood was also very solemn. But the reason for his solemn mood was different from that of the dwarves. The dwarves may have thought that this was an unexpected disaster, but in Xia En''s opinion, this "earth rumbling" was coming for him! ?This feeling has no basis, it is just pure intuition, but Xia En is inexplicably 70% to 80% sure. Obviously, this is related to his status as a "smuggler". In the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En is blessed by the will of the [Secret Realm], and naturally has stronger luck than ordinary people, and it is easier to encounter opportunities and treasures. Even as the degree of exploration increases, this blessing can continue to grow. This is the benefit of [Secret Realm]s will recognition. But for [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is equivalent to the so-called "extraterritorial demon", and the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely be hostile and malicious. He may have noticed traces of "stowaways" in this area, so he triggered "earth cries" in the area, hoping to kill or force out the little bug. ?This made Xia En both surprised and afraid. ?On the one hand, he felt that the world will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] thought too highly of him, and actually used such a method directly. On the other hand, Xia En feels that this "earth ringing" is just the beginning! ?The worlds evil will not cause just one disaster. ??As long as Xia En is still in the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], I am afraid he will be targeted continuously. But when he thought of this, Xia Ens first reaction was not fear, but excitement! ?Shane has never been a timid person, otherwise he would have found an island to live in seclusion after paying off his debts. At present, the will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] does not allow Xia En to stay in this world, but instead stimulates his rebellious psychology. You want to drive me away, but I wont go! ?Xia En also gradually developed an ambition in his heart - He wants to conquer this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] just like he conquered the underwater ruins under the sea! ?Shane turned his head and looked at Hope below, and found that although the dwarf leader was a little panicked, he was far from desperate. Obviously, if the Warhammer Horde can continue in [The Crucible], it must have its own trump card. As expected. Soon, Hope shouted loudly: "Come to my place to gather!" As the leader of the Warhammer Tribe, Hope''s authority is unquestionable. His roar immediately woke up many dwarves and moved towards him. Just a moment. The dwarves ran out of their caves, some carrying sledgehammers, and some carrying iron pots on their heads. ?This is not to protect one''s own property. But these cold iron tools can bring them an indescribable sense of security. Xia En also jumped down from the cave and joined the crowd. ?At this time, he discovered that the population of the Warhammer tribe was indeed small, only a few hundred people. When this disaster that was very likely to destroy the entire tribe struck, the dwarves also showed extremely strong cohesion and a considerable degree of order. The older dwarves carried the younger dwarves on their backs, the men led the women, and the strong ones led the ones with limited mobility. Even when Xia En came out of the cave, some dwarves looked at him as an "amnesia patient" with concern. It can be seen that they all regard this underground cave as their home. It also means that Xia Ens future abduction plan may not go so smoothly. In the crowd, Shane naturally saw Kull and his wife. ??But for some reason, Kull''s eyes were a little averted when he looked at him. Instead, the female dwarf he didn''t know looked at him with a dark and unclear look. ??Xia En was also keenly aware of a hint of well-hidden hostility from the female dwarf. Combining the previous speculations, Xia En vaguely guessed something. ?However, he didn''t say anything, he just came to Hope with the other dwarves and gathered around the huge furnace. The flames in the furnace are still burning brightly, making crackling sounds and emitting hot temperatures from time to time. ?Shaan originally thought that the furnace was just a forging tool. But as the dwarves gathered, he soon discovered that this was not the case. Wait until the dwarves gathered around the furnace. ??The patriarch Hope picked up the sledgehammer and hit the big iron stove with all his strength. ?The iron furnace was vibrating, making a magnificent and ancient sound, like the sound of a bell. Immediately afterwards, a deeply hidden secret power rose from the depths of the furnace. ??The surface of the huge furnace also gradually lit up with numerous rough red lines, blooming with flickering brilliance. The moment the red lines appeared, Xia En immediately felt that the shaking rock walls around him became stable and the vibrations were no longer so violent. It is as if this space has been reinforced by some special secret power to resist the "earth ringing" deep underground. And Hopes actions are just the beginning! Subsequently, the surrounding dwarves, all of whom could hold the war hammer, struck the huge furnace with a hammer. Dang! clang! clang! ?One knock after another, one after another, sounded in this trembling underground space. ?Each time you hit it, the surface of the furnace will have more lines and become brighter. By this time, Xia En gradually saw the shapes of those lines clearly. It is actually somewhat similar to the magic pattern of [Seven Sea World], but it is also like some kind of totem or mural, recording some unique information. However, due to the urgency of the situation, Xia En could not remember it in detail. At the same time, the unspeakable secret power in the furnace began to undergo even more bizarre changes. ?It not only vaguely connects this underground space with the furnace, but also fuses the aura of the entire Warhammer tribe into one, thus becoming stronger and stronger. It feels like putting the power of all the dwarves in the Warhammer tribe into a furnace. In the forging of the furnace fire, we usher in a wonderful sublimation. ?This power is a bit like the power of faith, but it is obviously different, as if it also condenses the power of blood and the power of lava mines. Obviously, this is a fighting method unique to the dwarves of [Melting World]! Looking at this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little moved, and he also restrained the slight contempt in his heart. ??The power of a single dwarf may not be that strong, but when the power of the entire tribe is gathered together, such a blazing flame bursts out. More importantly. ?Shaan also saw from the actions of the dwarves their struggle and tenacity in such a harsh environment. ?Like the hard rocks on the coast that are not broken by wind or rain, people always feel a little respect for them. ?Moreover, Xia En thought a little more. The essence of the melting pot strategy seems to be to melt the collective strength into one. So, can the [Black Swan], myself, and the crew on the ship use such a strategy? Boom ??The roar from deep underground continues. But the underground space where the Warhammer tribe is located has become strangely stable. The rock walls on all sides are as indestructible as fine steel and remain motionless, making you feel safe. ?Xia En stayed among the crowd, intending to wait silently for the "earth ringing" to subside. ??If it was true, as Shane suspected, that the Earthly Stone came about because of him, then the Warhammer Tribe would have blocked a shot for him. It would be great if we could spend it safely. However, Xia En was a little curious: "What is the so-called ground rumbling?" The dwarf next to him also knew about Bronzebeard''s amnesia and explained kindly. It is said that thousands of meters deep beneath our feet, there is a [Fire] that has existed since ancient times. Its size is extremely large, and it has almost infinite strength and lifespan. Some people say that the reason why our world is called [Ghana] is because of it! Its name is [Ghana]! Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. ??Although he has only explored a very small area of ??the [Forge Secret Realm] now, he still doesnt know how big this world is. But just imagining a creature that can be directly named after a world is enough to understand how terrifying it is. So, the earths ringing is actually its Thats right. The dwarf beside him nodded and continued: "When [Gana] moves or breathes, there will be a phenomenon of earth ringing." However, because [Ghana] is too big. Sometimes, maybe it just moves its head, or it may cause ground rumbling in a local area. The current earthquake is actually relatively small-scale. The truly terrifying earthquake is when [Gana] turns over... When he said this, the dwarf couldn''t help but murmured with obvious fear on his face. Such a thundering sound has only occurred twice in the history that has been handed down. After hearing these words, Xia En learned more about the harsh living conditions in the [Forge Secret Realm]. In such an underground space, the lethality caused by the roar of the earth can only be described as terrifying. It is hard to imagine how the first dwarves who migrated to the [Forge Secret Realm] survived such a disaster. The dwarves'' furnace tactics were obviously forced to develop after disaster after disaster. Thinking of this, Xia En sighed softly: "It''s really amazing." Whats so great about it? ??The dwarf next to him was a little puzzled and muttered in a low voice: "It''s just to survive." ??While Xia En and the dwarf were chatting casually, the violent vibrations coming from deep underground finally began to subside. The faces of many dwarves also showed smiles of surviving the disaster. Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake was not too high this time, and there were no casualties in the Warhammer tribe. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the dwarves who are used to seeing life and death. Just suddenly. Boom! ?Another very close and loud roar exploded in everyone''s ears. ?Above the dwarves, thick cracks suddenly appeared on the rock wall that had seemed indestructible before. Almost in the blink of an eye, these cracks quickly connected together until they spread to the entire rock wall. The next moment. ?The hard rock wall continued to collapse in front of everyone, and the gravel fell one after another. Fortunately, the fire blooming in the furnace was effective again, turning into an invisible barrier to protect the dwarves. ?Xia En thought it was another wave of ground rumblings that suddenly hit. ??But through the hole in the rock formation above, he saw an extremely huge claw, and... an eye with a crimson vertical pupil! ??Not only Xia En, but all the dwarves also saw this behemoth in an instant and exclaimed in surprise. That, thats... Its the Lizard King! Damn it, it must have been woken up by the rumbling of the ground! Obviously, the dwarves are no strangers to this creature named [Fire Lizard King]. Some dwarves have even come into direct contact with itbut that is usually when the [Lemon King] is sleeping. In fact, the appearance of [Fire Lizard King] is just a coincidence. ??It was sleeping peacefully in the cave above, but was suddenly awakened by a rumble of the ground. It just so happened that it landed near the Warhammer tribe. ?And now that Im awake, I have to eat something. Just then, it smelled the breath of living creatures again, raised its paws, and dug a big hole. At this time, how could [King Lizard] not enjoy the food that was "sent to his door"? In the crowd, Xia En looked serious. He did not think that the appearance of this big lizard was a coincidence. The ground rumbling before is indeed just the beginning, the real danger is yet to come! At this time. The [Fierce Lizard King] couldnt wait to reach out his claws, trying to grab the dwarf below and swallow it directly into his mouth. ?Its claws are extremely large and can only fit through the large hole above. Immediately afterwards, the sharp claws of [King Lizard] hit the barrier condensed by the secret power of the furnace, making a muffled sound. After the collision, the faces of the dwarves suddenly turned pale, and their breaths became a little sluggish. Compared to the ground roar coming from deep underground, such a close attack is more difficult to resist. People can even see that the barriers in mid-air have undergone obvious deformations. Roar! Fierce Lizard King roared and swatted it down with one claw again. It will definitely eat the meat inside this "turtle shell" today! Bang! Bang! Bang! ?In each collision, the secret power barrier becomes lighter and lighter, and the texture on the surface of the furnace becomes darker and darker. The fire began to dissipate. The mood of despair gradually spread among the dwarves. Some fragile dwarves even began to sob softly. Facing the [Fire Lizard], they can still find ways to hunt it, but against the [Fire Lizard King], they have no way to deal with it. This is the gap in absolute strength. But suddenly at this moment. One of the dwarves stood up and walked out of the mysterious power barrier. ??Hope couldn''t help but widen his eyes: "Bronzebeard, what do you want to do?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 281 The special features of [Secret Power of the Void] Chapter 281 The special features of [The Secret Power of the Void] The figure walking out from the dwarves was naturally Xia En. Its just that neither the patriarch Hope nor his former friend Kull can understand what he wants to do at this time. Fight this [Fierce Lizard King]? What a joke! ? ?Only one [Fire Lizard King] will be born for every hundred [Fire Lizards], and the strength gap between the dwarves and it can hardly be made up by quantity. That''s why Hope chose this almost humiliating tactic of shrinking to fight the enemy. In fact, what Hope is doing now is nothing more than hoping to consume as much of the [Lemon King]''s physical strength as possible before the Warhammer Tribe''s furnace is destroyed. Then, after the secret power barrier is broken, more dwarf warriors can escape. Or, the [Fierce Lizard King] was so tired that he no longer wanted to chase the scattered tribesmen. ?Such a tactic is certainly very pessimistic and ugly, and is bound to kill most of the same race. But at least this will allow some tribesmen to survive and allow the Warhammer tribe to continue! It can be said that this is the best option that Hope can think of. But now, Bronzebeard actually got out from under the protection of the furnace alone? ?? Could it be that his brain not only lost his memory after the collision with the [Fire Lizard], but was directly damaged? ?Shocked and shocked, Hope finally valued this young and brave warrior of the Warhammer tribe, so he shouted loudly. Bronzebeard, come back! ?Not just him, the other dwarves also anxiously tried to dissuade him. You are no match for [Lizard King]! Bronzebeard, you will die! However, Xia En never changed his expression in response to these dissuasion that were doubtful, surprising, or incomprehensible. ??He just raised the sledgehammer in his hand that was longer than his own body, pointed at the [Fire Lizard King] above the cave, and shouted. Beasts, come and fight! For a moment, the cave fell into a brief silence. Looking at this scene, the dwarves couldn''t help but be stunned. Even though they had vaguely guessed what Bronzebeard wanted to do before, when such a scene actually appeared in front of them, it still gave the dwarves an extremely strong impact. They really didnt know whether to call this behavior heroic or reckless. However, while feeling ridiculous and unbelievable, the dwarves inevitably felt a trace of tragedy and respect in their hearts. ?Like looking at the fool challenging the windmill in some distant, made-up story. In the crowd, Kull stared blankly at the lonely dwarf. He couldn''t understand why the amnesiac Bronzebeard would do such a thing. But he couldn''t understand even more. The opportunity he had been waiting for had just arrived, and his biggest competitor was about to die. ?But why cant I feel happy at all? In fact, the reason why Xia En took action is actually very simple ?This disaster started because of him, so it should be ended by him! at the same time. The [Fierce Lizard King] above the cave also looked at Xia En, with human emotions flashing in his eyes. ?Creatures of this level have already possessed a certain degree of wisdom, and [Fire Lizard King] is no exception. ?Although it could not understand the words of the tiny dwarf below, the hostility of the other party was clearly evident from its provocative movements. ?However, [Fire Lizard King]s first reaction was not anger, but curiosity. Because in its impression, these reptile-like dwarfs should clearly be afraid of themselves to death. Sometimes just a look can scare the **** out of them. But now, there is actually a dwarf who dares to step out of their "turtle shell" and provoke himself? The mentality of [Fire Lizard King] is probably like that of a person walking on the road. When he sees an ant that usually avoids him, he suddenly stops in front of him and makes some weird actions. Compared with anger, I am definitely more surprised. After being surprised, a touch of greed gradually appeared in the huge pupils of [Lizard King]. It was awakened by the rumble of the ground and was already hungry. Furthermore, from the little bug below, [Fire Lizard King] felt a strong temptation inexplicably. Intuition tells it that if it eats this little bug, it may become much stronger! ?That is not just a physical strengthening, but more like the trajectory of your own destiny will change from now on, and you may even become the strongest fire in a thousand miles! Fire Lizard KingI dont know where this premonition comes from, but as a beast, it doesnt need to think so much. Phew! ?With a whistling sound that ripped apart the air, its huge claws descended from the sky and hit Xia En below. The size difference between a tiny dwarf and a giant lizard is probably even greater than that between a human and a windmill! Some timid dwarves couldn''t help but close their eyes, unwilling to see the tragic scene. But the next moment. What sounded in the cave was not the sound of copper beards being crushed into flesh, but a sound like gold and iron! ?Hope''s eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at the field. ??I saw Bronzebeard, who was dozens of times smaller than [Fire Lizard King], using that sledgehammer to block the sharp claws of [Fire Lizard King]. ??Although Bronzebeard''s body took a few steps back, it even plowed a deep ravine on the ground. But if you resist, you have resisted! This means that even if there is a gap in power between the two, the gap is not widened too much. ?Hope was shocked and couldn''t help but feel a little confused. When did Bronzebeards strength become so great? At this time, Xia En in the field had no extra thoughts to care about the eyes of others. The first time he fought against [Fire Lizard King], he judged the strength level of the opponent Level 5! Even Xia En did not expect that his first battle with an existence of the same level after being promoted to the fifth level would be in this unfamiliar [Furnace Secret Realm]. ??If it were in a normal state, Xia En could certainly easily crush this fifth-level [Fierce Lizard King]. After all, when he was only at the fourth level, he had already shown enough combat power to fight against the fifth level. ?But at this time, Xia En is inhabiting the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer", and the combat power he can exert is undoubtedly greatly reduced. So that, in this collision, Xia En noticed that many muscles in the body were damaged. The good news is. Xia Ens [Projection Body] can be like an adhesive, maintaining the stability of this body. ??Moreover, the closer his connection to this body becomes, the greater the power he can exert. ?However, this way of maintaining stability obviously has its limits. ??When the physical body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" was completely destroyed, Xia En could only use [Projection Body] to quickly defeat [Lizard King], and then left [The Furnace Secret Realm] in despair. Intuition told him that this was by no means the best choice. Giving up the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer" is the second best thing. Xia En just had a hunch... Once your [Projection Body] is exposed more and more times, the world''s malice from [The Furnace Secret Realm] will become more and more turbulent and direct! So, what Xia En is trying to do now is to defeat the [Fierce Lizard King] in front of him with the body of "Bronzebeard"! After a brief collision. ?Xia En''s eyes were focused, he jumped up and flew towards the knees of [Fierce Lizard King]. The hammer in his hand cut through the air, making a frightening roar, and hit the relatively fragile joints of the big lizard hard. Since time traveling to the present, Xia En has accumulated a lot of experience in fighting large prey. He clearly understood that if he wanted to kill such a big guy, he had to attack the opponent''s vital points. Joints, throat, heart Due to the height difference, [Fire Lizard King]s knees are undoubtedly the best target. ?At the same time, this will also bring Shane closer to other vital points of this behemoth. On the other hand ?Shaan felt that the eye looking down at him was very annoying to him. So, he wants this big lizard to kneel down! Roar! ! The moment the hammer hit his knee, [Lizard King] suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. ?The entire underground space trembled because of this roar, as if it triggered another miniature earthquake. But before that, Xia En also heard the sound of broken bones. ?Even though the skeleton of [Lizard King] is extremely close to steel, the hammer in Xia En''s hand has been tempered in the furnace many times. ?In terms of hardness alone, it is definitely not inferior to the bones of [Fire Lizard King]. The most important thing is that Xia En injected his [Secret Power of the Void] into it. ??Yes, after being unable to use his always invincible physical fitness, Shane has another secret weapon that he has just mastered The secret power of transformation after being promoted to the fifth level! This secret power is extremely pure and extremely powerful. ??When it used Xia En''s hammer to embed itself into the body of the [Fat Lizard King], it immediately changed beyond Xia En''s expectations. In an instant. ?This secret power divided into countless small swimming fish, galloping unscrupulously in [Fire Lizard King]''s body. Every gallop is cutting into this huge body, eroding and assimilating the secret power of the [Fierce Lizard King]! An inappropriate metaphor. The [Secret Power of the Void] injected by Xia En is like a special virus. In order to fight against this virus, [Lizard King]''s body had to stir up the secret power in his body to suppress the spread of the virus. But at the same time, this will also lead to chaos in the secret power within its body. Such chaos itself will undoubtedly greatly weaken the combat power of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] actually has such an effect? Even Xia En was surprised by such a sudden change and murmured to himself. It seems that it is more mysterious than I thought. ? No matter what, this change is ultimately a good thing for the current war situation. The knees of [Fire Lizard King] kept shaking, and there was a vague tendency to lose balance. ?The emotion in those scarlet eyes finally changed from contempt to magma-like rage. ?It never thought that it would actually be injured by such an ant! ?Moreover, the constant numbness and stiffness in the knee also proves that this does not seem to be an ordinary injury. ?That kind of gloomy and dark power even makes [Fire Lizard King] feel faintly afraid deep in his heart. Thats A power that should not belong to this world! Roar! roared again, trying to suppress the fear in his heart with anger. However, at this moment, the tiny figure had crawled along its limbs in front of him! ??Xia En will naturally not miss the perfect opportunity created by the attack just now. ?His stature is short but fast, like a ghost, walking through the scales of [Fat Lizard King] that exudes high temperature. Just a few seconds. Xia En then crossed over the large hole dug by the [Fierce Lizard King] and came to the upper underground space, facing this behemoth head-on. His next target is the eyes of [Fire Lizard King]. However, just when Xia En jumped up again, the big lizard''s frightened and angry eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cunning that only humans can have. Immediately afterwards, a tumor on the top of its head quickly heated up and expanded, bursting out with bright and blazing fire. And this ray of fire came directly towards Xia En! ?The temperature of the flame is incredibly high, as if it can burn through everything. Obviously, this was an unexpected ambush. This [Fierce Lizard King] used his extremely high level of intelligence and acting skills to deceive Xia En''s eyes and make him jump into this trap. ?However, even if this beam of light hits, it will only force Xia En into the second stage. So, although there was surprise in Xia En''s eyes, there was no fear. But at this moment. The long and loud knocking sound sounded again. A powerful and heavy secret power quickly enveloped him. Without having to think about it, Shane realized that this was the Warhammer Tribes melting pot strategy. ??Those are the dwarves below, providing him with support. This discovery surprised him. ??Xia En originally thought that as a "stowaway", he should not be able to use the secret power blessing of the Warhammer tribe. But now, what happened to him changed his perception. ?Furthermore, Xia En soon realized that the key factor that allowed him to successfully accept this secret power was the [Secret Power of the Void] he possessed. His secret power was continuously and rapidly adjusted, transforming into a state very similar to that of other dwarves. Suddenly, as if some kind of code had been deciphered, it naturally merged with it! In fact. Such a situation happened once not long ago when Xia En broke through the [World Barrier]. ??But this still brought a lot of shock to Xia En. ?This phenomenon doesnt mean that his [Void Secret Power] can imitate almost all secret powers. Not just the [Seven Seas World], but also the secret power in all [Secret Realms]? Furthermore, since it can be imitated. ?So... can it be assimilated and swallowed? All-encompassing and ever-changing. Im afraid, this is the truly terrifying part of [Secret Power of the Void]. Xia En silently buried these conjectures in his heart, because...the battle is not over yet! The shadow formed by the furnace blocks the incoming flames. ??Taking this opportunity, Xia En let out a roar from deep in his chest, burst out with all his strength, activated the war hammer in his hand, and slammed into the eyeball of [King Lizard]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Click! The moment the war hammer came into contact with the eyeball, a crisp and clear cracking sound suddenly came out. It was like a hammer hitting a flat mirror, shattering Shane''s reflection in the mirror. The broken lens flew out mixed with blood. Roar roared again and closed his eyes in pain. ?For a creature of its size, damage to its eyeballs is not really a fatal injury. But this time, it felt mortal danger again. The source is the dark secret power transmitted by the hammer! ?That kind of weird secret power is as small and annoying as the dwarf in front of you, but just as difficult and dangerous. After entering the body of [Fire Lizard King], this secret power was like turning into countless ferocious ants, constantly gnawing at its flesh, flesh, secret power, and penetrating deeper. You must know that the eyeball has a large number of nerves gathered in it. More importantly, it is too close to the brain! So close that this secret power can penetrate into its brain tissue in only ten seconds. It is really hard to imagine what would happen to me if that kind of thing happened. In normal times, [Fire Lizard King] would naturally have a lot of time to slowly wear away this secret power. But right now, there is that hateful, despicable dwarf in front of it! According to common sense, you should crush this little bug into a pulp the first time you take out your claws. But it failed to do so. ?The fire attack that he was proud of was also blocked by the dwarves'' hateful "tortoise shells". ??Moreover, the deep intuition told [Fierce Lizard King] that there was still a surging power in that seemingly weak and insignificant body. ?It is as vast as the sea, and it feels vaguely frightening. This also means that it will never be able to kill the opponent in a short period of time. So, [Lizard King] is afraid! Beasts have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In nature, when faced with a target that may harm itself, the first reaction of a wild animal is often to flee rather than fight. This is exactly the current situation. But he woke up from his deep sleep unexpectedly and wanted to eat a few dwarves as a tooth sacrifice. Who would have thought that they would hit such a hard rock and almost break its teeth? Now, since it cant eat any meat, it can escape, right? ?Thinking of this, [Lizard King] did not hesitate, and his strong body crashed directly into the rock wall next to him. With a "boom", the solid wall shattered. However, despite its huge size, it showed extraordinary agility and rolled directly into the hole. Upon seeing this, Xia En''s eyes brightened slightly, and he was not surprised but happy. He just wanted to get out of the sight of the dwarves. At this time, [The Lizard King]''s behavior was undoubtedly like a pillow given to him when he fell asleep. So, without thinking, Xia En followed [Lizard King] and broke into the underground tunnel with complex terrain. The many dwarves below could only watch this scene in silence. Did I read that correctly? [The Lizard King] actually escaped? It was defeated by Bronzebeard? Oh my God, Bronzebeard is still catching up with me! Am I dreaming? ??If someone had told them before today that any of their tribesmen could chase a [Fierce Lizard King], they would have thought it was nonsense. But now, such a situation is actually happening in front of the dwarves. How does this not shock them? ?Kul''s eyes widened in astonishment, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly. Beside him, the fire in Mary''s eyes gradually extinguished. In the face of absolute strength, their previous calculations seemed so ridiculous. ?? But Kuhl really couldnt understand why Bronzebeard suddenly became so strong? In the middle of the dwarf, Hope''s eyes flashed with a strange light. ? No matter what, having a powerful warrior like Bronzebeard in the Warhammer tribe is a great thing. It won''t be a big deal even if he has lost his memory. ??The amnesiac Bronzebeard can also lead the Warhammer tribe to become stronger! ?However, Hope and the other dwarves also have some small worries in their hearts. ?? Can Bronzebeard really come back safely after rushing out so recklessly? The answer to this question, no one knows. ! Boom! Boom! The dwarves could only hear the roar coming from the rock wall one after another, and causing violent vibrations one after another. That was the sound of Xia Ens hammer colliding with the body of [Fire Lizard King]. ?The intensity of this shaking was no weaker than the previous ground rumbling. ?Cracks continue to appear on the rock walls in the distance, making these already unstable structures once again on the verge of collapse. ?Even, not only the area where the Warhammer tribe is located, but also the territories of other dwarves and [Fire] have been affected by this. ? Many [Fire Types] were trembling and hiding in the gaps in the rock formations, hoping that they would not be affected by this battle. Even if you can''t see the scene of one person and one lizard fighting, people can still imagine how dangerous and terrifying that scene is. In the Warhammer tribe, a dwarf murmured in shock: "I still can''t believe that this was actually caused by a dwarf and [King Lizard]." ?However, these shocking sounds are fading away. At the same time, this also means that the Bronze Beard is moving away from them. I dont know how long it has been. ?This fierce battle, which was no worse than the roar of the earth, finally stopped. The brief silence returned to the underground cave, with only the lava mines in the rock walls emitting a quiet light. Ahem! ?Xia En coughed violently and coughed up a few mouthfuls of black blood, looking extremely fragile. However, in front of him, the huge [Fire Lizard King] had fallen into the broken rocks. Both of its eyes have been smashed, otherwise, there should be unbelievable fear remaining in the eyeballs. ?This big guy''s body surface is covered with wounds, and even those smooth and flat scales have become pitted. But the real fatal injury was in the brain of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] pierced directly there and dealt a fatal blow to it. Have to admit it. ??It is quite difficult for Xia En to kill this big guy without entering the [Projection Body] state. By this time, "Bronze Beard"''s body had become tattered, with countless bones broken and almost no muscle intact. ??If it weren''t for the bonding effect of [Projection Body], this body would probably fall apart immediately. In this case, Xia Ens lips curved into a smile. Although it cost a lot. But in the end, he won! Xia En raised his head and looked at the rock formations above, as if looking at the will of the [Secret Sea]. The silent smile showed his meaning. This time, he won. And next time, he will win! Unfortunately, at this moment, the [Ship Soul Power] on the panel has almost dropped to 0. This shows that Xia En is about to end his dive in the [Secret Sea]. Before officially leaving, Shane still has some necessary finishing work to do. For example, find a very hidden cave and hide in it. Another example is leaving a [Submarine Anchor Point] here. However, when Xia En left the [Submarine Anchor Point], he discovered that this [Anchor Point] seemed not to be somewhere in the underground space, but in... the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer"! ?This discovery surprised Xia En. After thinking for a while, he probably guessed the reason why this happened. [Submarine Anchor Point] is a coordinate that Xia En left in the [Furnace Secret Realm], which is also equivalent to a part of his "extraterrestrial demon". ??If this coordinate remains, it will definitely continue to pose a danger to the [Furnace Secret Realm]. So, the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely clean it up and exclude it. For this reason, [Submarine Anchor Point] needs to be camouflaged. The aboriginal body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is undoubtedly the best choice. ?Aware of this, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. He was originally worried about how to keep his status as "Bronze Beard". But now it seems that this is not a problem at all. As for how to protect this dead body from decay? When Xia En controlled this body previously, he noticed that when the "Secret Power of the Void" flows in the body of "Bronze Beard", this body maintains a strange and weak activity. ??Although the maintenance time of this activity is limited, there is obviously no problem in holding on until Shane''s next [submersible]. After doing all this, Xia En closed his eyes quietly... Submarine is over! You have explored the "Secret Realm of the Furnace" and completed a secret sea walk! Career compatibility +5%! Please choose your trophy! 1.The soil of the furnace secret realm 2.Solid war hammer 3.The body of the Lizard King In the captain''s room, Xia En opened his eyes, feeling a mysterious and mysterious feeling in his heart. ?To put it bluntly, he has a somewhat deeper understanding of the secret profession of [Secret Sea Walker]. ?This kind of understanding does not come from talking on paper, but from a practical personal practice. So it seems particularly clear and real. Anyone who practices the secret path that is the core of his or her profession will be able to go further on the secret path. ??The reason why Xia En was able to advance by leaps and bounds and continuously break through the ranks in such a short period of time is probably related to the fact that he has always been on the right path. After a moment, Xia En took a long breath and remembered all the insights in his heart. So, is this what it feels like to explore another world? Not bad! After a brief sigh of emotion, Xia En walked to the deck and decisively chose option 3. The next moment. The huge corpse of [Fire Lizard King] appeared on the empty deck. Thanks to the fact that the [Black Swan] has been strengthened several times and its size has been greatly expanded, otherwise the deck would not be able to accommodate this [Lizard King]. There was a muffled sound of "dong", and the water level of [Black Swan] sank downwards. ?The crew quickly realized this change and walked out of the cabin. Looking at the [Fat Lizard King] appearing on the deck, the crew members couldn''t help but look surprised. ??Joy was surprised: "Where did this big lizard come from?" Fei Ya also looked up and down curiously and murmured: "In my impression, there has never been such a creature in the Seven Seas." Xia En smiled slightly and said: "This is my trophy in a [secret realm]." Here, help me, help me break it up. With the help of everyone, this [Fierce Lizard King] was quickly dismantled. Ann is a good hand at doing this kind of thing, she is careful and patient. Not long after, bones, flesh and blood, lava minerals... were all placed in categories. The crew were once again surprised when they saw the unusual physiological structure in its body. After all, this is a creature that should not exist on the Seven Seas at all. ??Moreover, it doesnt look like a product of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Its like... coming from another world! ?Although Xia En had already given them enough surprises, the appearance of the [Fierce Lizard King] still made the captain''s image even more mysterious. Xia En didnt explain much, he just looked at the huge crystal heart of [Lizard King]. Lava Ore (Silver Grade) Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: The specialty ore of "The Furnace Secret Realm", the heart of "Fire Seed", contains the unique secret power of fire. When used for forging, it will have a wonderful effect and give the forged items a random status. The old furnace is on fire again. Hmm? Silver level? ?Xia En raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were different ratings for [Fire Type] in the Warhammer tribe. The ordinary [Fire Lizard] is at the bronze level, while the [Fire Lizard King] is at the silver level. It seems that the lava deposits in their bodies also follow this classification standard. But, just the silver level is the fifth level..." ?Xia En was secretly speechless, once again realizing the danger of the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm]. After reading the description, he immediately thought of Xian Ge who knew [Fire Forging Technique], so he shouted. Xian Ge, come out! Xiange, who had grown a lot bigger, flew out and responded energetically: "Yes, Captain!" ?With Xia Ens unremitting efforts, Xian Ges training is on the right track, greatly improving its obedience. ?But at this moment, as soon as Xian Ge appeared, his eyes were attracted by the group of red crystals. Captain, what is this? ?Xia Ens reaction to Xian Ge was a little surprising. Because he actually saw a strong desire in the eyes of this little dragon. You must know that although Xian Ge has a female imp personality, she is indeed a bronze dragon among ancient dragons, and she is actually proud of herself. ?Its vision is extremely high, and it rarely desires anything. But now, Xiange looked at the lava mine eagerly and said, "Can I have a taste?" I feel that if I can eat this crystal, I might be able to grow faster! ?Xia En frowned slightly and had a guess. Could it be that...[The Furnace Secret Realm] is also related to the ancient dragon in [Seven Seas World]? Thinking is thinking, Xian Ge said so, Xia En naturally handed over the lava mine. ?With a "ouch", Xinge chewed up a large piece of the huge crystal. But it was not satisfied and continued to feast. ?Just when Xian Ge was enjoying the lava mine feast. The breath coming from the sea breeze suddenly changed slightly. ?Xia En couldn''t help but squint his eyes and look into the distance. I saw a white fog appearing in front of the [Black Swan]. Suddenly, it is the [Misty Sea Area] that we have been away from for a long time! (End of this chapter) Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the three religions After making these shocking remarks, the strong obsession that kept this soldier persisting until now finally dissipated. ?This body could no longer maintain a stable structure and melted like a wax statue, turning into a puddle of dark red viscous sludge. From this mud, biological tissues such as teeth, blood vessels, eyeballs, and half-melted internal organs can be vaguely seen. ??As Cameron stared at it, it was still expanding and contracting slightly, and making a hoarse and low sound from a certain part of its structure. Weall died there ?It kept repeating this sentence, like raving after falling into a frenzy, which made those who heard it feel creepy. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron! Please stay away from it as soon as possible! On the shore, the deep-sea priests issued another warning and looked at Cameron with worried eyes. Even though the contact was only for a few seconds, the lieutenant colonel was at risk of contamination. This time, Cameron did not insist on having his own way. Instead, he took off his military hat, saluted solemnly to the mud, and whispered to himself. Your sacrifice is far from meaningless. May your souls find rest in the deep sea. Soon, Cameron cooperated and returned to the port. ??It''s just that at this time, the soldiers and priests kept a safe distance from him and did not approach rashly. This is the correct procedure for service members who have been exposed to contaminants. After this, Cameron will be transferred to the church and undergo isolation observation and a series of mental evaluations. Cameron had already anticipated this. But right now, what is more important is to inform the big people who can really decide the fate of the Federation with the information brought back by the "Private". So, Cameron said to the priest: "Please give me a pen and paper. I have important military information to report." The next day. After applying all aspects of "divine purification" and making sufficient preparations. Members of the Public Security Bureau began a formal exploration of the "Private". When they stepped onto the deck of the Private, the scene on the ship shocked everyone. There is no one alive on this dilapidated warship. All that is left is a dark, silt-like substance. ?They are scattered all over the deck, mast, and cabins of the "Private". They are layered in layers and covered in every corner, crawling slowly and strangely. ?This kind of mud is alive! ?This discovery makes everyone who sets foot on the "Private" feel a little scared. ?Among these mud-like things, you can occasionally see one or two humanoid monsters with swollen and deformed bodies that do not look like soldiers at all. ?After the soldiers untied the clothes of the humanoid monsters, they discovered that their flesh and blood seemed to be "growing" together with the clothes. ?There are also large and small, incomprehensible wounds on his body. In some cabins, there is still a little white fibrous moisture, which looks like unformed neural structures. ?After the investigation, the pastor of the Deep Sea Church came to an incredible inference ?This filthy sludge is none other than the crew of the "Private"! They encountered some unimaginable and terrifying enemy, and ended up taking this ugly, filthy form. Some fragments of clothing and identity plates found in the mud also prove this point. No one knows what the crew of the Private went through before they died. But just from the remaining emotions in the mud, we can also get a glimpse of the cruel truth. The investigation of the "Private" alarmed the soldiers and priests. ??Above the Seven Seas, what existence is there that dares to attack the warships of the Federation Navy? ??Moreover, in this cruel way of killing the entire crew and leaving no body intact? How can this not make them angry? The strange thing is that after the members of the Public Security Bureau handed over the investigation report. ?Far from starting an investigation immediately, the superiors issued a gag order to all those involved in the incident, prohibiting them from spreading relevant information. Key figures in the investigation, such as Lieutenant Colonel Cameron and the leader Storm Priest, even suffered confinement. Speaking of "isolation", it actually means putting them under house arrest. In fact, it is not difficult to understand why the federation did this. The return of the "Private" is related to the "King" that was sent out to perform a secret mission a few days ago. The information about the "Second Great Flood" and "Prophecy of Doom" obviously cannot be widely disseminated in the Federation, otherwise it will cause great panic. A certain degree of information blockade is naturally necessary. However, it was beyond everyones expectations. On the third day after the "Private" returned to Hong Kong, rumors about the "second world-destroying flood" spread like wildfire on the "Liu Li Island". No one knows where the news first came from. But by the time federal officials found out, the situation was already out of control. People knew about the return of the "Private" and the trap of the "King". Even the soldiers last words were known to the people. ?This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Federation. After all, that is the [King]! It can be said that it is a warship that embodies the latest and most advanced technology of the Federation. Among the warships currently in service, there are only a few large ships with a tonnage exceeding the "King". Even the "King" sank in this operation, which in itself showed the seriousness of the matter. As the central island of the Federation, information and intelligence spread so fast on [Liu Li Island]. In less than half a day, the spread of rumors was unstoppable. It was like a bomb was dropped on the Seven Seas. For a time, people who knew the news couldn''t help but panic, and rumors spread. Compared to this big news, the confrontation between the three major forces some time ago seems to be just a small matter. A tiny secret place that few people know about. In the chaotic space, three powerful consciousnesses descended one after another. The first thing that comes is an existence that seems to be composed of codes, numbers and graphics. They seem to flash rapidly in the form of some kind of matrix. They seem to be irregular but also seem to contain some kind of "reason", emitting a cold, rational glimmer. After arriving first, this consciousness remained silent, as if waiting for something. Soon, a dazzling light came. His arrival seemed to illuminate this strange space, bringing light and heat that could not be ignored. What finally appeared was a deep and deep darkness. ?Just staring at him was like staring into the deep sea with a depth of tens of thousands of meters. It''s like...being stared at by some existence under the deep sea. Very good, everyone seems to be here. ?The will that exuded a glimmer of reason was the first to speak: "I think you all know the prophecy of the ''second world-destroying flood''." In this case, will you continue to fight against me [the Truth Society]? It was the important figures of each of the three major forces who brought their consciousness to this secret realm. Under normal circumstances, this negotiation would not have occurred at all, and the three major forces would just fight each other until they could no longer fight. However, the spread of this prophecy caused the attitudes of the three parties to waver a little. Although the metaphors of gods are very important, it is undeniable that not all believers are unscrupulous madmen. They live in this world after all, and there is no way they can just watch this world being flooded again. ?The attitude has been softened, but the hatred has been forged and cannot be easily resolved. represents the will of [Hui Jiao] and snorted coldly. Perhaps this prophecy was leaked by people from you [Truth Society], right? What a great idea. Do you want to take this opportunity to take a breather? The light group of [Truth Society] denied: "I don''t know what you are talking about." Besides, compared with the losses, its not easy for both of you, right? If we continue to fight, will you be able to hold on? ?At this moment, the black shadow of the [Netherworld Sect] who had previously remained silent suddenly spoke sadly. Then, you might as well give it a try. Lets see who cant hold on first. ?His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of madness. Hearing this, the representative of the [Truth Society] cursed secretly in his heart. These crazy people who believe in the ancient gods! Compared to the [Hui Sect], during this period, the [Truth Society] was more troubled by the attacks from the [Youshu Sect]. No matter what, the [Billions of Glory Sect] is an orthodox religion from the previous era, and its behavior is relatively upright and upright. But [Youshu Sect] is different. ?This secret sect that believes in the ancient gods of the deep sea is itself composed of a group of guys who are polluted by the deep sea. There are even some outright lunatics among them. ?Methods such as cursing, poisoning, and contamination are even more readily available, causing great trouble to the [Truth Society]. ?Furthermore, what depresses the members of the [Truth Society] the most is that they have no idea how they got into trouble with the Nether Sect. ?It was obvious that they deliberately avoided each other on weekdays. In fact, the [Truth Society] also felt extremely helpless regarding [Huijiao]s reason for declaring war. Its actually an oracle from [Lord of Radiance]! ?This cant help but make some members of the [Truth Society] wonder whether the outside **** is aware of some of their research. Only then will the oracle come. Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, the [Truth Society] representative softened his attitude and said. Continuing to fight like this will not be beneficial to all three of us. Since no one wants to see the second great flood coming, lets do this. Each of the three parties will send a group of people to the far north to investigate the whole story of this incident. The representative of [Truth Society] paused and continued. At the same time, its also a competition. Which side plays the greatest role in preventing the flood from coming, will be the ultimate winner. The loser needs to tell the other two parties the real names and identities of the fifty core members of their respective sects. In this world, the true name itself has a special effect. For forces like the [Truth Society], [Hui Jiao] and [Yu Sui Sect], knowing the true name is equivalent to controlling the life and death of those people. The list of these fifty people can determine the final outcome of the three parties to a large extent. It is worth mentioning. The words of [Truth Society] made [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] also become targets of competition. This is obviously a naked conspiracy. [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] have different beliefs, which is an irresolvable contradiction in itself. One is an alien **** outside this world. The other is an ancient **** who sleeps in the deep sea. Neither would mind using this list to weaken the other if given the chance. After a brief hesitation, the consciousness of the great priest of [Hui Jiao] responded. "Can." Then, during the period of competition, we shall have a temporary truce. A hoarse voice also came from the dark shadow of [Youshu Religion]: "In this case, we will swear an oath to the three gods under the witness of the secret sea." Not long after, the three parties swore an oath together after agreeing on it. The oath is fulfilled. The representatives of the [Truth Society] could not help but breathe a little sigh of relief. These days, the [Truth Society] has been at war with two parties at the same time, and the pressure it has received is naturally extremely high. The most critical thing is that the plan they have been preparing for has been postponed and delayed due to this inexplicable war, and the progress has stalled. The reason why the [Truth Society] wants to have temporary peace talks is probably to delay the time. The reason why [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] chose to have a truce is because... During this period, the price they paid was also quite heavy. Only after the actual war, the two esoteric sects realized that the [Truth Society] actually hid such a powerful force. ??Those scholars working in the Federal Research Institute and researchers hidden in various islands may not be very strong in frontal combat, but they always have many weird methods that are difficult to guard against and unpredictable. ?According to some captured members of the [Truth Society], a "truth network" has been established between them using special relics to communicate. The speed of dissemination of knowledge and technology has reached an unprecedented peak with the blessing of this "truth network". It also gave members of the two major esoteric sects a deep understanding of the power of science and technology. ?As the losses intensified, some voices of opposition emerged within both [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect]. Especially during this period, the [Black Light] never appeared in the [Glory Crystal Mirror] again. Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the "oracle". Even Archbishop Musa was a little suspicious. Some people in the [Yousui Sect] feel that what Priest William heard in the ten thousand-meter deep sea may not be the teachings of the [Yousui Descendants]. ??It could also be that he was hallucinating. Or maybe, its not [Yousuis descendant] at all. In short, for one reason or another, the two esoteric sects cannot be as resolute as before the war. ?This is why the secret peace talks came about. at the same time. On the vast sea. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] were traveling in tandem. ?At this moment, a ship with sails decorated with jet-black flames was speeding towards the [Black Swan]. (End of this chapter) Chapter 272 【Salary King】 Chapter 272 [Salary King] This speeding ship has an obvious old-era style. Like a warship sailing from a previous era. The severely damaged paint on the hull and the outdated bow structure seem to be silently telling the vicissitudes of life it has experienced. ?Hung above the mottled and rusted deck, a flag with a black streamer pattern hangs. Dang! clang! clang! ??The urgent and nervous alarm bell sounded on the [Black Swan], causing all the crew members to step onto the deck one after another. ??Joy took the lead in discovering the menacing old warship and issued a warning. ?During Xia En''s retreat, Joey was not idle, and successfully broke through to the fourth level after difficult training. Now she can even sense the reaction of secret power in a sea area. That''s when I noticed the arrival of the strange ship for the first time. Whats the origin of that ship? Feiya boarded the deck and stared at the old warship with her beautiful eyes, her expression quite serious. Is it coming for us? ?Nowadays, the [Black Swan] is not the unknown boat it once was. ? Judging from the appearance alone, the [Black Swan] is already considered a big guy in the ship, like a giant beast crawling on the sea, which may open its terrifying mouth and launch an attack at any time. ?Those gleaming main guns and the dark and thick horns are not easy to mess with at first glance. Not to mention, as time goes by, the news that [City of Giant Trees] was uprooted gradually fermented in [Sea of ??Annihilation]. It adds a layer of mystery to [Black Swan]. Enough to make ordinary ships frightened. Not to mention being an enemy, even ships that dare to approach it are very rare. Even during Xia En''s retreat, Joey and other crew members cleaned up several pirate ships they encountered, purifying the sea environment and maintaining navigation order. ??It would be okay if this strange-looking warship didn''t recognize them. ??If the Black Swan is recognized, it will charge forward without hesitation. ?Things became troublesome instead. ??Joy frowned and said, "I have never heard of a ship flying such a flag." Furthermore, looking at its style, it doesnt look like an official federal warship. Xian Ge looked at the pattern that looked like black flowing fire and murmured. I seem to have seen this kind of warship somewhere. It is...the symbol of a certain countrys navy. ?Looking at the ship that was getting closer and closer, Joey said with a slightly anxious tone: "Don''t worry about its origin." How should we deal with it now? Should we just shoot it? To be honest, Joey was a little undecided. ??If it is a pirate ship, she will definitely fire before the opponent reaches a safe distance. But now, the warship''s enemy is unknown and its intentions are unknown, so Joey doesn''t know what to do. Actually, not only Joey, but also other crew members have similar feelings. In the past, when Sean was on the ship, they didn''t have to think about this kind of problem at all. They only had to obey the captain''s orders. ?But when this kind of decision-making power really falls on themselves, everyone discovers that making the decision itself sometimes requires enough courage and wisdom. ?At times like this, the crew members cant help but have an idea ???????????????????????????????????? ?However, hesitation was hesitation. Under the approach of the unknown warship, the crew was forced to make a decision. After thinking about it, Fei Ya said: "Shout first. If the other party still insists on having its own way and insists on getting close to us, we will start a war directly!" ?Joy nodded and said, "Just do it." But at this moment. It doesnt have to be so troublesome. A deep voice sounded from the cabin. ?Everyone looked towards the direction from which the sound came. ??The extremely tall Yan Yan, wearing a black robe, stepped onto the deck. His appearance had not changed at all. He was still masculine and handsome, and he was familiar to the crew. ?However, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer looked like a friendly and sunny boy next door, but suddenly became distant and majestic, carrying an unspeakable majesty. It is a temperament belonging to a superior person, as if he has the power of life and death. It is also like the spirit of a king who has opened up a kingdom. ?The overwhelming momentum almost choked everyone''s breath. Even the black robe, like a cloak or a cloak, rustled in the sea breeze and was majestic. ??Yan Yan is still standing on the deck of the [Black Swan]. ?But at this moment, the crew felt that he seemed to be standing extremely far away from them. Can no longer be touched. Yan Yan ??Joy quickly realized something and said in a daze: "What do you mean by this?" At this moment, an unknown warship not far away suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami! ?Someone knelt down on the deck and shouted out the name that had been buried in his heart for a long time. ?Some people cried wildly, as if the grievances of the past were finally resolved. ?Some people are so excited that they cant help themselves, as if they are crazy. Their cheers finally converged into one voice. Salary King! Salary King! Hearing this name, Joey and others were also shocked. ??Joy murmured in disbelief: "Did I hear it correctly? They were shouting... Wang Xin''s name?" But King Xin, hasnt it already been... ?Suddenly, Joey suddenly woke up and turned to look at Yan Yan. Is this ship coming for you? Yan Yan did not speak, but the aura about him said everything. Yan Yan is the salary king? Even Fei Ya, who has become much calmer and calmer, still feels extremely ridiculous in her heart: "How could such a thing happen?" Hearing this, An''s body also trembled slightly, and his expression under the armor was shocked. Its no wonder the crew reacted this way. As the last powerful king in the old era, King Xins name has always been widely spread across the Seven Seas. Coupled with the constant excavation of the "Xinwang Treasure" and various documentary records in the underwater ruins, Xinwang''s reputation has not diminished, but is actually increasing day by day. It can be said that this salary king is a legend among legends and a king among kings! Just the fact that Xia En had come into contact with the [Xinwang Treasure] made the crew members very amazed. How could they dare to imagine that King Xin was not only alive, but also lived with them on a ship for such a long time? on the other hand. ?Joy and others also noticed Yan Yans extraordinary qualities very early. ?The kind of flame that can even ignite sea water and solid ice, the seemingly endless regeneration ability, and the characteristics of immortality... all reflect his specialness. However, Yan Yans character shown in the past was too harmless to humans and animals. ?Like a big golden retriever who is willing to help others, he is too kind and naive. So, everyone knows that Yan Yans true strength is extraordinary, and even Xia En may not be his opponent. But deep down, it is still difficult to see him as a superior and strong man. Even Xian Ge can bully him occasionally. ?However, precisely because of Yan Yans character, he is equivalent to a group favorite on the [Black Swan]. We dont say it in words, but in fact, in terms of life, we always take good care of Yan Yan. ??Joy would save the biggest pieces of fish for him while cooking. An would invite him to exercise with him using the Knights Breathing Technique. When Fei Ya was repairing the steam device on the ship, he would also call Yan Yan to let him feel the baptism of the sacred steam. Even Xian Ge likes to take Yan Yan with him to hunt in the sea. Now, suddenly someone said to the crew ?Yan Yan, whom they regarded as their companion, turned out to be the legendary King Xin! The shock among the crew members can be imagined. At this time, Xian Ge finally found some useful information from his memory and exclaimed. I remembered, that ship is the [Black Flame]! Great Yan Kingdom, [Black Flame Walker]s ship, it actually still exists on the seven seas! ?These terms are quite unfamiliar to Joey and others, but it is not difficult to guess that they must have some deep connection with King Xin. Yan Yan turned his head, glanced at Xian Ge, and said softly. It seems that there are more memories sealed in your mind than I expected. His eyes were no longer as pure and clean as before, but seemed to have a lot of chaotic impurities added to them. It was like there was a dark flame burning blazingly in the depths of his eyes. It seems that the flame will not be completely extinguished until he himself is burned up. Facing the Yan Yan at this time, Xian Ge, who had always been fearless of heaven and earth, felt some inexplicable fear in his heart. Even so, Xiange still opened her eyes wide and mustered up the courage to ask. Yan Yan, are you leaving [Black Swan]? Can you please stop leaving? I wont steal your barbecue next time. Hearing this, Yan Yans eyes softened a little. But soon, his expression became determined again, and he said seriously: "Actually, I also want to stay on the [Black Swan] and fight alongside you." You dont have to think so much, and you dont have to carry such a heavy past. But, I still have a mission that must be completed! "And if I continue on the [Black Swan], it will only drag you into it." So, I have a reason to leave. Hearing these words, the crew fell silent. Yan Yan has said so, is there really any point in forcing him to stay? At this time. ?The warship with the black flowing fire symbol has already arrived beside the [Black Swan]. ?Many crew members wearing black robes knelt down towards Yan Yan. The entire crew of [Black Flame] welcomes the return of King Xin! The faces of these crew members were all filled with enthusiasm and joy. They were once the [Black Flame Walkers] of the Great Yan Kingdom. They used a special method to survive the great flood and have continued to this day. During this period, the [Black Flame Walkers] experienced many hardships, some of which were even more painful than ordinary people could imagine. But the moment he saw the king, all his efforts in the past seemed to have meaning. ?Seeing this scene, Fei Ya and others suddenly understood. ??Yan Yan is not only carrying his past. It is also the trust and persistence of all those who support others. ?Such trust is both a boost and a shackle, forcing Yan Yan to continue on this path. ??Yan Yan turned around, faced the people of [Black Flame], and said calmly. Yes, Im back. "I will continue our unfinished business and let a spark ignite the seven seas." After saying that, his black robe lit up with an unquenchable flame, wrapping the whole person like flowing water, turning into a blazing flame giant, confronting the entire sea. Such a sight undoubtedly made the [Black Flame Walkers] feel ecstatic again. ?Their king is back! The burning flames and scorching temperature prove that this is not their illusion, but something that actually happened! Another burst of cheers echoed throughout the sea area. Its just that when the crew of the Black Swan looked at the man in the flames, they all pursed their lips and looked indifferent, feeling extremely strange. Because, that is not the Yan Yan they are familiar with. But the King of Fire who was reborn in the flames! If they had a choice, the crew members might hope that Yan Yan would always look pure and clean. King, what should we do with these people? At this time, a [Black Flame Walker] looked at the people on the boat and whispered. They obviously didnt treat you with the respect you deserved as punishment "shut up." ?The flame giant glanced at this man, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the soul. He said in the most stern tone: "They are my companions." It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future. All [Black Flame Walkers] need to be as respectful as they are to me when they see this ship and its crew. ?Although people were a little surprised by Yan Yan''s attitude, no one would disobey his wishes. The [Black Flame Walkers] responded in unison. Yes, my king! ?After giving this order, Yan Yan took another deep look at the [Black Swan], as if he wanted to imprint the ship and the people on it in his eyes. At this time. From a corner of the ship, a translucent figure suddenly floated out. Haso sleepy Vivian yawned, as if she hadn''t woken up yet. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the flame giant in front of her, and murmured in a low voice. Why have you grown so big? Its so scary. Seeing her appearance, Yan Yan''s expression changed slightly. In fact, in the past few days after recovering his memory, Yan Yan conducted detailed observations on the crew members of the [Black Swan]. But two of the crew members still gave him a feeling that he couldn''t see through it. One is the Bronze Dragon String Song. The second one is this ghost lady Vivian. ??The former, as an extinct ancient dragon on the Seven Seas, hides countless secrets. ?But even King Xin couldnt figure out why a ghost that should have dissipated long ago eluded him. Captain Shane had guessed before that you might leave, so he specifically asked me to leave you a few words. Vivian said casually: "You don''t have to take it too seriously, just listen casually." Yan Yan was slightly startled: "Captain, what did he say?" Vivian recounted in Shane''s tone: "He said, no matter you are King Salary or some other big shot, in his eyes, you will always be the big boy he met on the ice and snow island." As long as you want to come back, there will always be a place for you on the Black Swan. The mountains are high and the road is far, and the days ahead are long. Friends, take care! (End of this chapter) Chapter 273 Break through the fifth level! Hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker! 】 Chapter 273 Breaking through the fifth level! Hidden profession[Secret Sea Walker! See you again in Jianghu Yan Yan chewed these words silently, with a soft smile on his face. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he first met Xia En. ?Subsequently, Yan Yan opened his palms, and a butterfly condensed from flames gracefully fell down and landed on the Black Swan. ??The moment the butterfly came into contact with the deck, it turned into a strange mark. ??The butterfly pattern inside is still changing slightly, as if it is breathing. In the blink of an eye, the butterfly mark blended into the hull of the Black Swan and quickly disappeared. I originally thought that this separation would be an eternal farewell. Yan Yan said: "But now that I think about it, that would be too lonely." This brand contains part of my power, but it will also reconnect our destiny. Perhaps it will bring you a lot of trouble in the future. ?According to Yan Yans original idea, he would cut off contact with the [Black Swan] and no longer have any contact with him. Because with the comeback of "King Xin", there are bound to be forces from all sides who want to know about his situation, and even various enemies will come to visit him. The isolated [Black Swan] is undoubtedly an excellent entry point. To put it bluntly, compared with King Xins former enemies, [Black Swan]s current strength is still too weak. Just the aftermath of this major incident was enough to leave [Black Swan] covered in bruises. It is a wise decision to keep distance and never see each other again. ?Even Yan Yan originally planned to use some special secret technique to cut off the thread of fate between the two parties, so that other forces would not be aware of the existence of the [Black Swan]. But after hearing Xia Ens message, Yan Yan changed his mind. He doesnt want to cut off this bond and memory. ?Even though he didnt know whether such a decision was right or wrong. Yan Yan looked at everyone on the boat and said, "Please convey a few words to Captain Xia En." Until now, I still regard myself as the crew of the [Black Swan], and Mr. Shane is still my captain. The destination of my trip is the far north. Perhaps we will meet again there! After saying that, Yan Yan waved his hand, stopped staying, turned around and stepped onto the deck of the [Black Flame]. Soon, the towering bow of the [Black Flame] split the waves, the fluttering flag danced in the air, and then sailed into the distance. Everyone on board the Black Swan felt as if they were lost. ?No matter what, Yan Yan left after all. Moreover, I dont know when we will meet again. The future is always uncertain. It''s like no one expected that Yan Yan would leave today. ?This inevitably makes people feel a little depressed, as if there is a dark cloud hanging over the "Black Swan". It would be nice if Mr. Captain was here ??Joy murmured in a low voice, expressing the crew''s thoughts. Mr. Captain, how long until we can come back? In a dark, void space. ?Xia En''s "body" curled up into a ball, his consciousness was hazy, and he was half asleep and half awake. Compared to the beginning of the promotion ritual, he has become countless times weaker. Whether it is the total amount or quality of the secret power, it is consumed in this space to the point of being extremely weak. The worst part is. Xia En''s consciousness was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning. ?In the process of trying to use [Great Dark Sky] to assimilate the barrier of [Nothingness], his thinking is also being assimilated by [Nothingness]. The meaning of "emptiness" is nothing, nothing exists. Senses, memory, emotions, thoughts ?These human characteristics seem to be constantly being stripped away from Xia En. ?At a certain moment, Xia En even felt like he had become nothingness itself. ??There seems to be nothing wrong with just sinking completely into this darkness? But in the bottom of Xia En''s heart, there was always a voice reminding him. You must wake up! Your ship, your crew, are waiting for you! Your name is Shane, and you are a man destined to conquer the sea! ? Such self-hypnosis barely allowed Xia En to maintain his final rationality. Time passed by so silently. Until a certain moment. ?Xia Ens secret power seemed to have finally touched the frequency of this [emptiness], and triggered an unprecedented resonance. C ?Amid the violent vibrations, the barrier formed by [emptiness] began to disintegrate silently, and the resistance gradually dissipated. In fact, this barrier still exists. ?However, it has become a part of Xia Ens body and is no longer an obstacle. It was as if a whole new world had opened its door to Shane. Immediately afterwards, countless phantoms suddenly emerged from the boundless darkness, and chaotic fragments of light and shadow swept over like a storm, filling his mind. ??And amid this crazy fragment of information, scenes flashed through Xia Ens mind In the endless darkness of the deep sea, some kind of huge and terrifying body is slowly growing and growing. ? ?Ancient and chilling eyes look at the city-state from the deep sea. It is an indescribable ancient god, indifferently scanning the world. In the distant sky, an unimaginably huge ball of light emits dazzling light all the time, illuminating the world. One after another, the gods whose faces cannot be seen clearly were born in ignorance and lived in indescribable forms. The ancient dragon roared among the mountains. Elves dance in the forest. ?Countless races rise and fall, grow and die. This process, accelerated tens of thousands of times, seems spectacular and strange. However, as the perspective continues to zoom. Xia En saw that the place where all this happened was just a huge light bubble with a halo of light. Beyond this bubble of light is the deep and boundless deep sea. ?Countless similar light bubbles, like stars, are scattered throughout the deep sea. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was greatly shocked, and huge waves were set off in his mind. He understood many things instantly. ?There is no doubt that this deep sea with countless stars is the [Secret Sea] that he has explored! ?In peoples conventional understanding, the [Secret Sea] is a part of this world. It is not only the source of power for many mystical practitioners, but also hides many mysterious [Secret Realms] and gods. Based on what Xia En saw, it was not difficult for him to come to the conclusion In fact, the world Nanami lives in is just a larger bubble of light in the "Secret Sea". Compared with those [secret realms], there is no essential difference! They think that their grand and great history, the changes of races and the evolution of civilization are just a story that happened in a bubble of light. It is conceivable what kind of terrible shock it would cause if this truth were spread across the Seven Seas. As a time traveler, Xia En inevitably thought of more. Since this world is a bubble of light in the [Secret Sea]. ?So in other light bubbles, are there civilizations that are not inferior to the [Seven Seas World]? ??The [Earth World] where Xia En once lived, was it also a member of the light bubble? Even if this was just some speculation, Xia En''s mood was shaken and he could not calm down for a long time. At this time. ?Shane suddenly felt a certain "attention." ?It was not like a gaze, or any kind of will with a clear origin. He felt as if he was being stared at by time itself. ?Something that is older than history, bigger than the city-state, and even seems to come from the deepest part of this [secret sea]... is watching me. ?There is no emotion in that "gazing", no malice or goodwill. He just watched. ?Like a cold, empty shell, staring at an uninvited guest who came into this place ignorantly, and said indifferently You are here. Boom! ! There was a loud noise in Xia En''s consciousness, and the remaining rationality collapsed and reorganized. The darkness seemed to begin to recede on all sides. Some invisible things that slowly squirmed and deformed in the darkness seemed to be gradually condensing and transforming into entities. They look like dry tree branches, bridging and converging with each other in nothingness, connecting those star-like light spots and traces together, vaguely possessing some special pattern. Is this...the connection between different [secret realms]? Xia En''s consciousness gradually became clearer and he thought: "And the will just now is the [Secret Sea Will] mentioned by Augustine?" Emotionless, machine-like, and empty shell. ?That "gaze" really meets the description of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. ??However, Xia En couldn''t tell what these indescribable tree-like things represented. Suddenly, the sound of waves sounded in Sean''s ears. ?This is not an imaginary movement in consciousness, but a real sound. This also means that the five senses have returned to Xia En. ?At the same time, it means that he successfully completed this promotion ritual! Xia En''s consciousness suddenly felt down to earth, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly rose in his heart. After suffering for such a long time, the pain is finally over! Soon, the wave from the [Secret Sea] descended on him. Under the wash of the vast and full secret power, several prompts appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Complete the trial mission: Break through the world barrier! The promotion ritual is over! Hidden Hidden Path Occupation: Secret Sea Walker (Level 5)! ?Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. ??The promotion ritual is over before I tell him the specific content of the trial mission. This is too confusing! Furthermore, the barrier of [nothingness] that he broke through before was actually a "world barrier?" But if you think about it carefully. ?Combined with the name of the profession [Secret Sea Walker], he must have the ability to break through the world''s barriers before he can truly walk in the [Secret Sea]. Of course, Xia En actually adopted a tricky method, adjusting his secret power to a frequency similar to that of the barrier, and passed through the barrier. Its no wonder that the forced breakthrough method doesnt work. ?That is a barrier to a world, and it is obviously not what Xia En can do now. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! Comprehensive quality: 9.512! Unlock the exclusive talent of "Secret Sea Walker": Hidden Traces! Quality: Legend Description: You have been blessed by "The Will of the Secret Sea". Divination, curses, and fate spells directed at you will not take effect, and it will be difficult for outsiders to locate your location. When you are stared at by certain beings from the "Secret Sea", your sense of presence will be greatly reduced. Keep it secret so you can live longer in the "secret sea". Unlock the exclusive talent of "Secret Sea Walker": Eye of Peeping Secrets! Quality: Epic Description: You have noticed the thoughts of "The Will of the Secret Sea". You can see some things that ordinary people cannot see. When walking in the "Secret Sea", you can see some information about some "Secret Realms". The closer the relationship is with the world you live in, the more complete the information about the "secret realm" you can see. Remember, do not use these eyes to look at things you shouldn''t look at. Every time you explore a different "secret realm", your career compatibility can be slightly improved. Career fit: 0% These two talents ??Xia En looked at these descriptions carefully, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little subtle. First of all, the strength of these two talents is absolutely online. The former directly gave Xia En a powerful BUFF, making him immune to curses and other secret spells. To be honest, Xia En is often not very afraid of frontal combat. You can still run away if you really can''t beat him. ?But curses are hard to guard against, especially as the rank increases, the curses mastered by the Mystic become more and more weird and dangerous. Especially an organization like the [Truth Society], which obviously has the ability to locate locations, divination and other means. ?Just like last time, [Thousand Changes] Jia Xiu found the [Black Swan] inexplicably and almost caused a catastrophe. It is obviously necessary to make some preparations in advance. ??Moreover, what is really important about this talent is probably its secondary effect. It allows Xia En to avoid many dangers when walking in the [Secret Sea]. ?Xia Enke has not forgotten that when he first explored the [Secret Sea], he ran into an incredibly huge creature. As for [Eye of Peeping Secrets] ??The description of this talent made Xia En a little confused. What does it mean to think about the [Secret Sea]? ?Xia En couldn''t help but think of those weird branches, and suddenly realized something - ?That kind of thing may not actually exist. What he saw was probably just a thought that flashed through [The Will of the Secret Sea] at a certain moment. And this idea was strongly reflected here, and it turned into a huge structure in his eyes. Think about it again. ?Those tree branches connect many light points together. Perhaps it means that there is a special connection in these [secret realms]. For example, a certain [secret realm] is separated from another [secret realm]. For another example, a certain [secret realm] is inhabited by humans who have migrated from other [secret realms]. ? With this talent, Xia En can filter out the [Secret Realms] related to the [Seven Seas World] from the endless light spots. It can greatly reduce the time wasted exploring invalid [secret areas]. ??It is also a very practical talent. ??The only thing that dissatisfied Xia En is... These two talents are the ability to assist the exploration of the [Secret Sea] and do not intuitively improve the actual combat power. (End of this chapter) Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and retur Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and returns to [Black Swan]! Rhine Secret Realm Under a large tree with dark red leaves and lush branches. The invisible wave of mysterious power is rushing nearby, slowly spreading outward like a tidal wave. ?No matter flowers, trees, trees or rocks, nothing can stop it. Under the influence of this mysterious power, the growth rate of [Crimson Ancient Tree] seems to have accelerated a little. The crimson leaves swayed gently under the tide of secret power, looking very magical. Looking at this scene, Sha Jingjing next to the altar was filled with amazement and said softly. As expected of the Holy Son, the news of promotion is getting louder and louder. ?Beside Sha Jingjing, there were several boys and girls from the [Yongyue Tribe]. They all sat around the altar, quietly comprehending this strange secret power, and practicing through it. Sha Jingjing turned her head and said to them seriously: "We are all blessed by the Holy Son, so we can have such an opportunity. We must cherish it and be grateful." Not long after Xia En entered the promotion ritual, a strange secret power began to emerge around the altar. Sha Jingjing, who was responsible for guarding this place, soon discovered that this secret power was of great benefit to her body, and the previous bottleneck showed signs of loosening. So, Sha Jingjing selected a group of talented people from the [Yongyue Clan] to practice beside the altar. ?As expected, after this period of subtle influence, the strength of these tribesmen has improved in different ways. Someone''s body has been strengthened. Some people have a more delicate grasp of the secret power. ?Hearing Sha Jingjing''s words, a young man from the Yongyue Tribe looked at Xia En''s retreat hut with admiration and sighed. My lord, the Holy Son, is truly amazing. Just the aftermath of the promotion has benefited us a lot. Another girl looked worried: "But...isn''t it too long for the Holy Son to be promoted?" Is it really okay? Her thoughts were very simple. It took so long for Lord Shengzi to be promoted this time, but he didn''t eat. Is there really no problem with his body? Hearing this, Sha Jingjing couldn''t help but frown slightly. To be honest, she has always been a little worried in her heart. She knows more than the average tribesman. She knows that Xia Ens promotion ritual is special and extremely difficult, otherwise he would not have come to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for seclusion. However, out of trust in Xia En, Sha Jingjing still chose to believe and wait. At this time. Another young man from the Yongyue clan exclaimed in a low voice: "Look! Under the sacred tree..." Hearing his call, everyones eyes immediately looked below the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. I saw that the previously invisible tide of secret power was suddenly dyed with a faint black color. ?This darkness expanded outwards in an instant, and soon blackened the entire tide. The [Rhine Secret Realm], which was still sunny just now, instantly became extremely dark. Immediately, not only the [Crimson Ancient Tree], but also the space where many Yongyue tribe members were located was shrouded in darkness. At this moment, its like night has fallen! ?Faced with such a vision, the boys and girls couldn''t help but become speechless. Even Sha Jingjing couldn''t say a word. Shortly afterwards, this pitch black windless land automatically rippled, and a little light appeared in the middle and slowly rose. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like countless stars spread across the vast night sky. Large and small light bubbles are formed and destroyed in the deep darkness. Sometimes it turns into light spots, sometimes it turns into light marks. Everything seems bizarre, but at the same time it is full of wonderful laws. ?Sha Jingjing and others are still standing on the land of [Rhine Secret Realm], but they seem to have crossed the barriers of the world and can see the true appearance of [Secret Sea]. How can such a scene not shake people''s minds and shock them incomprehensibly? In fact, for them, witnessing this kind of scene in advance will be of great benefit to them on the secret road in the future, and they can avoid many detours. When you are promoted, it will also become particularly smooth because you have sensed the breath of the [Secret Sea]. ?However, at this time, everyone in the Yongyue clan had no time to care about this kind of thing. ? Their whole bodies and minds were attracted by the vision in front of them and could not extricate themselves. followed by. In the darkness, waves began to surge, one wave higher than the next, like the deep sea before a storm. Suddenly there was a roar. The violent secret power escaping all around seems to have begun to collapse after expanding to the extreme! At the center of the secret power, a huge whirlpool appeared, and the center of the whirlpool was bottomless. Endless secret power surged toward the center of the vortex, pouring like a waterfall, enough to push an ordinary fifth-level mystic to death. Among them, the nearest [Crimson Ancient Tree] also received part of the secret power. ??The whole tree has grown taller visibly to the naked eye, and the crown of the tree has become denser and more prosperous. Seeing this, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized something and shouted: "Hurry up and absorb this secret power, as much as you can!" Having said that, Sha Jingjing sat down first and tried her best to absorb the secret power around her. The total amount of this secret power is too huge. Even during the absorption process of Xia En, a considerable part will escape. And this part of the secret power is the opportunity for the people of the Yongyue tribe! In the hut, Xia En''s eyes were closed tightly, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and he could faintly hear the pulse like ancient war drums. All the secret power pouring down from all around penetrated his body and poured into his chest. There, there is an invisible whirlpool spinning. At the center of this vortex is the deepest darkness, which seems to be able to swallow everything. While the vortex was turning, the mysterious power all over Xia En''s body was also undergoing a miraculous transformation. This is a level of sublimation. From ordinary secret power, it has become a secret power that is closer to the depths of the [Secret Sea], purer and more original. Wait until the deep darkness fades away like a tide and the violent tide of secret power subsides. ?Shaan slowly opened his eyes and found that the hut next to him no longer existed, leaving only a puddle of powder. Obviously, under the violent rush of secret power just now, this small house was overwhelmed and was directly crushed into powder. ??Similarly torn into pieces were the clothes on Xia En''s body. He calmly took out the clothes from the space ring and started to put them on. But this movement made Xia En feel very uncomfortable. After sleeping for many days, his body was like a rusty machine, and even the simplest movements were a bit jerky. ?However, after a little movement, Xia En immediately discovered that there was volcanic power lurking in every cell of his body, and it would explode at the slightest thought. ?He used a little more force and tore his clothes apart. In desperation, Xia En had to carefully take out another one and slowly put it on his body. ?After getting dressed with some difficulty, Xia En looked at himself and found that his body had become more perfect after being promoted. ? Streamlined muscle lines, straight back, and even the facial features have undergone subtle adjustments and become more beautiful. ?The entire body has no flaws at all, like a work of art. In addition, what surprised Xia En even more was the change in the secret power in his body. His secret power, both in total amount and degree of purity, is several times greater than before. Very simple reason. When performing the same secret technique, the more pure the secret power, the greater the power it exerts. Not only that, during the long process of breaking through the barrier of [nothingness], Xia En has been adjusting the state of the secret power, gradually changing its nature. After the promotion ritual ended, his secret power was completely sublimated and he achieved transformation. In fact, the secret power of each Mystic Pathfinder has its own characteristics. For example, the secret power of the [Warrior] secret path is difficult to use to cast spells. The secret power of fire attribute is difficult to produce ice attribute attack. ?However, at this time, Xia En''s secret power seems to be able to evolve into any kind of secret power, adapting to different types of secret techniques! It can be said that this secret power is close to the origin of the secret power! Its level is so high that it is extremely rare in the Seven Seas. Because it is pure, it is powerful. It seems that this is the biggest benefit after being promoted to the fifth level. Xia Ens eyes were bright, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Although the hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker] obtained, it does not directly provide skills for combat. But the sublimation of this secret power alone has raised his combat effectiveness to a higher level. ??If Xia En used [Great Dark Sky] now, he could hardly imagine how powerful it would be. I have to say. ??This promotion ritual can be called the most dangerous one among Xia En''s several promotions. ??The other promotions were extremely difficult compared to other Mystic Pathfinders, but with Xia En''s strength at the time, he basically had a way to deal with them. But this time, the physical fitness and combat power that Xia En always relied on were almost useless. You can only rely on a little bit of exploration and experimentation. ?The long persistence in the endless darkness continued to wear away his will. At the most dangerous moment, Xia En really almost lost himself in the void. ?Xia En has reason to suspect that other Mystics have failed in promotion and may have another chance. And if he fails, the only thing that will greet him is complete death. ?However, the difficulty of promotion to the ritual is high, and the reward can be said to be extremely generous. This kind of secret power is close to the [emptiness] barrier that I touched before, but it doesnt really reach that level. Just call it...[Secret Power of the Void]. ??Xia En casually gave this secret power a name, quickly opened his stance, and performed the [Knight Strengthening Method] in the open space to adapt to his upgraded body as soon as possible. After completing four or five sets of movements, Xia En finally felt that he had roughly mastered his body. He then transformed into a blood sword and repeatedly practiced basic sword skills. Nearly an hour later, he was fully adapted. Not far away, Sha Jingjing waited patiently for Xia Ens movements to stop, and then respectfully stepped forward. Lord Holy Son Xia En turned around and looked at Sha Jingjing with her ears erect and her tail wagging, and she suddenly felt like she was in another world. But, for some reason, the moment she saw him, Sha Jingjing tucked her tail between her legs and her body was still trembling slightly. Xia En asked curiously: "Huh? Sha Jingjing, what''s wrong with you?" Sha Jingjing shivered and said honestly: "No, it''s nothing." "The current Lord Holy Son is a bit scary..." ?In her eyes, Xia En was filled with a strong sense of oppression, like a giant beast in the deep sea, which made her instinctively uneasy. Like the reaction of wild animals when they encounter those stronger predators. ?Especially looking at those dark and deep eyes, it gave her the feeling of looking directly into the abyss. Obviously, this is because Xia En has just broken through and his aura has not yet completely converged. ?Xia En tried hard to control the breath around him and asked. How long have I been promoted? Sha Jingjing replied: Its been nearly a month. Its been a month? ?Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy. This time is actually about the same as he expected, but in this month, a lot of things can happen. ?Perhaps something happened on the Black Swan. ?Hence, Xia En no longer hesitated, and after saying goodbye to Sha Jingjing, activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the silver light door. After the light dissipates. Xia En returned to the [Black Swan]. Looking at the familiar layout in the captain''s cabin, Xia En suddenly felt at ease, as if he had returned home. In fact, isnt [Black Swan] already his home? Soon, a long whistle sounded on its own. Everyone on the ship felt the vibration and joy of the ship. It was like the cheers of thousands of people, and it was like the whole ship came to life and became active and vivid. ?Thats the [Black Swan] welcoming its captain! With a "bang", the door to the captain''s cabin was pushed open. ??Joy rushed in first and rushed over to hug Xia En. Mr. Captain, you are finally back! The girl''s eyes were filled with tears of joy. Xia En is always on the boat, so she doesn''t feel much. But this time when Shane broke through the retreat, Joey realized the irreplaceable importance of the captain. ?Obviously it was only a month since she last saw him, but to her, it felt like a century. ?Shaan rubbed Joeys little head and was a little surprised to find Joy seems to have grown up a bit. Not only the height has increased, but also certain parts of the body have undergone some changes. Probably from the Xiao Long Bao in the South to... the Xiao Long Bao in the North? This was a judgment that Xia En made subconsciously when they hugged each other. It was just an accident. ?But just think about it. ?Judging from the days of the Siren''s blood transformation, Joey is obviously still in the developmental stage, and it is natural for him to continue to grow up. Wow, its Mr. Captain! Xian Ge''s excited voice sounded outside the door: "Hiss... Why does it feel like Captain Xia En has become so much stronger!" This breath is like a [secret sea]. Feiya grabbed the back of Xian Ge''s neck, like holding a big cat, to prevent it from rushing into the captain''s cabin. Please calm down, didnt you see Joey making out with the captain? Huh? Make out? Xiange asked confusedly: "What does that mean?" Hearing this, Joey stood up with a red face and said to the door: "You all come in." ?Not long after, all the crew members came to Xia En, and even the lazy salted fish ghost Vivian floated in. ?Seeing that they were safe and sound, Xia En couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. ?But soon, Xia En noticed that one crew member was missing. He frowned slightly and asked. Where is Yan Yan? (End of this chapter) Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-enter th Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-entering the [Land of Glory] Where is Yan Yan? ?Hearing Xia En''s question, the crew couldn''t help but fell silent, and the atmosphere became slightly gloomy. The joy of meeting the captain just now seemed to be diluted by this. Looking at their expressions, Xia En roughly guessed what happened, so he sighed. Did he really leave after all? Finally, it was Joey who spoke: "The thing is like this..." ??As Joey told it, Xia En quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little complicated. YanyanXinwang Although Xia En had already made guesses from some clues in the past. ??But when he heard this information with his own ears, he was still in a trance. ?The last king of the last era, the founder of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the Xinwang Treasure who left the [Xinwang Treasure] as the spark of civilization, actually once served as his own crew. And like ordinary crew members, they obeyed their orders seriously and meticulously. ?Thinking about it this way, this seems like a pretty big deal? ?When he thought that Yan Yan had left, Xia En felt melancholy, but also a little happy that he had regained his memory. After all, no one wants to live in a state of confusion for the rest of their lives. ?Recovering his memory means that Yan Yan has regained his identity as King Xin and can continue his unfinished business in the past. For Yan Yan personally, this may be a happy thing, right? ?However, after confirming Yan Yans identity, Xia En couldnt help but have many questions. ?Why was Yan Yan picked up by him on the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea]? What is the reason why he lost his memory? Why did King Xin and Dayan Kingdom fall like meteors back then? ??Did Yan Yan ever have a war with the enemy in [Lenglie Sea]? ?But who is the enemy Yan Yan faces? ? Could it be [Husi Ming] who invades this world? The answers to these questions are buried in the shadow of history, and Xia En has no way of knowing them. ?Probably, only Yan Yan can answer his doubts. At this time, Joey continued: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Captain, when we contacted other merchant ships, we learned that several major events have happened in the recent Seven Seas..." Not long after, Xia En got a general understanding of the major events in Qihai this month from Joey''s mouth. Including the battles between the three major esoteric religions, the entrapment of the "King", and the prophecy of the "Second Great Flood". After listening, Xia En had a strange expression. Didnt he just shut himself up once? Why did so many things happen in Nanami? ?However, Xia En still had expectations for the battle between the [Truth Society] and [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect]. In the final analysis, the initiator of this melee was none other than himself! Xia En also did not expect that his words to the Netherworld cultists in the submersible in the deep sea would have such a good effect. ?Perhaps at that time, the other party really regarded himself as the spokesperson of [Lord of the Deep] in the human world? As for the prophecy of the Second World-Destroying Flood This news made Xia En somewhat unexpected. He already knew from Augustines mouth that the coming of the World-Destroying Flood was [Hui Si Ming]s method to involve the world in Filthy Chaos. ?So, will this second great flood be caused by the same reason? Xia En always felt that something was wrong. There is no other reason than that the interval between these two great floods was a little too close. Even the butcher knows that before killing a pig, you must first fatten the pig before killing it. At present, the civilization on the Seven Seas is clearly still in its infancy, and it will take a long time to reach its peak. ?Even if [Huisi Ming] planned to harvest, he shouldnt start so soon. Xia En vaguely felt that there must be some hidden secret that he didn''t know yet. But having said that, judging from the strange attitude of the Federation and the recent cessation of the war between the three major esoteric sects, the credibility of this prophecy is probably still very high. This is not an alarmist doomsday prediction. Speaking of which, Yan Yan said that the destination of his trip was the far north where the great flood originated. On the sidelines, Joey speculated: "Maybe it has something to do with this prophecy, right?" The land of the far north ?Shaan muttered the name in a low voice. ?He once went to the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea], but instead of continuing to explore north, he went all the way south. Looking back now. When he first approached the [Ice and Snow Island], the reason why Xia Ens [Salt Kings Certificate] was constantly agitated was not because there was a [Salt King Treasure] on the island. Its because the real Salary King is on that island! ??And the huge warship that the [Black Swan] encountered when leaving the [Cold Sea] should be the [King] that has been rumored recently. The frozen underwater ruins under the [Cold Sea], the [Emerald Ancient City] burned to ashes, the [Emerald Holy City] where elves live... ?Xia En didnt feel anything when he experienced it before. But now, it was difficult for him not to associate these strange scenes with the Far North. Dont forget, before the great flood came, the Great Yan Kingdom founded by King Xin was located in that icy land. It is conceivable that there must be countless secrets buried in that land. ?Shane seems to have found a lot of key points now. ?However, there is a lack of a thread that connects these points together, making the truth of the matter still hidden in the fog and not clear. Xia En thought for a moment, but couldn''t get any results. He couldn''t help but let out a long breath and looked a little gloomy. ??Joy looked at Shane and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Captain, where should we go now?" Continue to move towards [Liu Li Island]? In this month, [Black Swan] has actually completely returned to its full glory. Just because Xia En went into seclusion and Yan Yan left, the crew was unable to determine the direction to move forward. ?Some crew members believe that they should go directly to the Far North. Not only to find Yan Yan, but also to solve the upcoming disaster of the world. Other crew members believed that they should act in accordance with the captains original order and continue to rush to [Liu Li Island]. No one on either side can convince the other. In the end, only a compromise solution can be reached. [Black Swan] continued to move towards [Liu Li Island], but the speed slowed down. Prevent Xia En from waking up and trying to turn the ship around, only to find that most of his time was wasted. So until now, [Black Swan] has not arrived at [Liu Li Island]. After listening to Joeys explanation, Shane understood everything immediately. He thought for a moment and made a decision quickly. Continue to [Liu Li Island]! They went all the way south from the [Lenglie Sea] and passed through the [Magnetic Sea Area] and [Sea of ??Annihilation], spending a lot of time on the way. Now turning back again, it is obvious that it cannot be reached in a short time. ??Also, lets talk about something realistic. ?With the current strength of Xia En and others, even if they find Yan Yan, they cannot keep him on the ship. And if they want to intervene in the catastrophic disaster, the crew''s combat power is completely insufficient. ??Instead of rushing towards the far north regardless of safety, it is better to concentrate on development for a period of time. ?Perhaps, there is the answer to the question he wants to know on [Liu Li Island]. With Shane making the decision, the crew had no objections. Soon, the [Black Swan] made a high-pitched cry. The steam turbine deep in the cabin is beating continuously like a heart, bursting out powerful power. The majestic bow of the ship broke through the waves ahead, stirring up a series of snow-white foam and ripples on both sides of the hull. The speed of the entire ship continued to increase, and it moved forward in an indomitable manner. After finishing the pleasantries with the crew. ?Xia En opened the [Glory Crystal Mirror], and his consciousness sank into the [Glory Land] filled with light. Having just returned to [Seven Seas World], he needs to obtain more valuable information as soon as possible. Brilliant Crystal Mirroris undoubtedly the best choice. However, as soon as he entered the [Land of Glory], Xia En discovered... ?This space seems a little empty. In the ancient and vast square, there were more than a dozen vague light groups scattered very sparsely. ??Although it is not the day when the archbishop holds a rally, the number of believers in the square is still much smaller than what Sean remembered. [Black Light] Senior, you are here! Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this, a familiar, clear young voice sounded behind him. Xiaobai, its you. Shaan turned his head and greeted this milky white light group. ?This group of light is the young priest who originally talked to Xia En. ?In subsequent exchanges, Xia En gradually became familiar with him and learned that his code name was "Xiao Bai." She is one of the netizens Xia En is familiar with in [Land of Glory]. [Black Light] Senior, where have you been during this time? The archbishop held several meetings, but he didnt see you. ?Xiaobai said with both curiosity and concern: "A few days ago, after we officially started the war with the [Truth Society], many of our companions unfortunately died." I thought you also Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood why the [Glory Land] became deserted. Obviously, in the battle with the [Truth Society], a considerable number of Hui sect believers died. ?This couldn''t help but make Xia En feel a little bit guilty. After all, this war started because of him. ?However, Xia En has not forgotten the true face of the [Lord of Billions of Glory]. A sect that believes in foreign gods may not be a good thing for the [Seven Seas World]. at the same time. Xia En also felt strongly vigilant and said to himself. The strength of the [Truth Society] is truly terrifying. Facing the siege of the two secret sects, it can still cause such heavy casualties. It is indeed one of the most mysterious forces in the Seven Seas. He has already underestimated the strength of the [Truth Society]. But now it seems that [Hui Sect] and [Yushu Sect] alone cannot completely eliminate [Truth Society]. While Xia En and Xiao Bai were talking. Other nearby Hui sect believers also noticed his arrival. ?Who made the black light emitting from Xia En''s body so conspicuous? Not long after, a believer with a purple soul light group came over and questioned Xia En. [Black Light]! Where have you been these days? Obviously we are all fighting **** battles with the lunatics of the [Truth Society], why dont we see you contributing in the battle? ??The purple believer''s tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction, even vaguely targeted. His anger is not difficult to understand. ??The person who originally delivered the oracle was Xia En, and it was Xia En who led to the war with the [Truth Society]. However, during the battle, Xia En was not seen taking any action, and even disappeared for a time. It''s like a deserter. This purple believers friends and relatives all died in the battle, so his resentment became even more obvious. ?Shaan frowned. He didn''t want to explain this kind of problem at first, and wanted to find an excuse to excuse it. But suddenly, his brows jumped, and he noticed a white-gold light group in the crowd staring at him. ?There seemed to be a strange halo flowing in the other party''s eyes. Shortly afterwards, several lines of information appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Description: A pupil technique that can identify the authenticity of words. "Um?" Xia En was startled, and soon realized that this was the effect of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. ? He ??originally thought that this talent only took effect on [Secret Realms], but now, it is obvious that it can also see through secrets. ?So, after thinking about it, Xia En said: "These days, I am busy with promotion rituals, so I am unable to participate in rallies and battles in time." I can understand if you blame me for this. However, if you say that I did not contribute in this war, then I cannot agree with it. The purple believer was obviously a little dissatisfied: "Then tell me, what have you done?" A month ago, I dived into the deep sea alone and killed a first-generation species of [Scion of Yousui], thereby drawing [Yousui Sect] into this war. Xia En sneered: "If [Youshu Sect] hadn''t taken action, our [Hui Sect]''s casualties would have been even more severe, right?" "[The Descendants of Yousui]...the first generation...drew the [Yousui Sect] into trouble?" The more the Purple Believers heard, the more ridiculous they felt: "[The Descendants of Yousui] are at least in the deep sea thousands of meters below, and the [First Generation Species] among them only appear at a distance of close to 10,000 meters." There is a limit to how much you can lie! At this time, the white-gold light group next to him came out, looked at Xia En with shocked eyes, and said. Everything he said is true. Lord Star! ?This platinum light group obviously has a very high prestige among believers. The moment he appeared, several people saluted him. However, after hearing [Xingchen]s words, people couldnt help but be stunned. They were also curious as to why the [Netherworld Sect] launched an attack on the [Truth Society] so coincidentally at almost the same time. But it was only now that they knew the truth. Its just that this truth is a bit too incredible. This, how is this possible? ??The purple believer''s eyes widened, still in disbelief. int The purple believer shook his head quickly: "I don''t dare to..." [Xingchen] turned around, walked towards Xia En, and then bowed deeply. [Black Light] Your Excellency, thank you for your contribution. I also apologize to you on behalf of my useless subordinate. (End of this chapter) Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] exploration! Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] exploration! [Black Light] Your Excellency, Im sorry. ?After seeing [Xingchen] apologize for himself, the believer who was emitting purple light also gritted his teeth and quickly lowered his head to Xia En. Xia En nodded in response. ? At this moment, he also saw that this purple believer and [Xingchen] probably knew each other in reality, and they were in a superior-subordinate relationship. originally probably wanted to use the purple believers to test Xia En. ??If Shane had told a lie, it would undoubtedly be used as an excuse for criticism. Obviously, after suffering a very heavy sacrifice, some people within the Hui Religion began to have doubts about Xia En. After all, the oracle is unquestionable. The only person who can be doubted is naturally the person who delivers the oracle. ?However, [Xingchen] obviously did not expect that after asking, he would get such an answer. On the contrary, it increased Xia En''s prestige in front of many believers. ?Xiao Bai on the side opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia En in amazement. It turns out that the reinforcements from [Netherworld Sect] were found by senior [Black Light]. Those guys who believe in the ancient gods have always been stubborn and rigid. It is not easy to deal with them. I can only say that...he is indeed a senior [Black Light]! ?Xiaobai is young and knows limited secrets, so he failed to realize the key point of Xia En''s words just now. But the other Hui sect believers in the crowd could not help but change their expressions slightly and began to communicate in low voices. The [first-generation species] among the [Sirs of Yousui]... I remember that there are only nine of them in the entire Seven Seas, right? Furthermore, it is said that the [First Generation Species] already possesses some of the immortal abilities of the [Netherworld Lord]. Even if you suffer fatal injuries, you can still come back to life in the deep sea in an incredible way. [Black Light] Seniors Beheading, what exactly is it..." Hearing these whispers, Xia En''s expression was a little strange, and he thought to himself. Huh? There are only nine [first-generation species]? So, it seems like it still has some kind of remarkable existence? Xia En originally thought that the [first-generation species] was just a relatively rare deep-sea creature, but now it seems that their rarity seems to be beyond his expectation! There are only nine in the entire [Seven Seas World]? Furthermore, this number seems to have been maintained for a long time. As a result, you ate one of them during a [deep sea hunting]? Let alone other people, even Xia En himself felt it was a bit outrageous. ?However, Xia En was able to confirm that the previous [first-generation species] that looked like a giant squid was indeed dead. Its secret power and flesh and blood have become the nourishment for Xia En''s growth, and there is no possibility of resurrection. Perhaps, among the [first-generation species] of [Yousuis descendants], there are also strong and weak ones. Xia En analyzed secretly: "And the one I encountered happened to be the weakest among the [first-generation species]." "And its complete death may be related to my [Deep Touch]..." ?Thinking about it carefully, [Sir of Netherworld] may be the embodiment of [Secret Power of Netherworld]. Conventional attack methods, such as destroying the body, will only defeat the [Secret Power] and return it to the deep sea. When the [Deep Secret Power] gathers again, the [First Generation Seed] will be resurrected! I''m afraid, this is the truth about the immortality of [the first generation species]! ?Although it was just a guess, Xia En was 80% sure. Thinking about it now, the reason why that [first-generation species] is not too strong is probably because it has just been resurrected and has not yet returned to its peak state. ?During the battle, Xia En completely absorbed its [Netherworld Secret Power] and strengthened his own [Deep Touch]. This is when the first generation species died completely. ? Xia En has many thoughts in his mind, but in the eyes of other Hui sect believers, it is a sign that the senior masters do not care about rumors. After this episode, Xia En''s image became more and more unpredictable in the eyes of everyone. The awe in people''s hearts has inevitably deepened. After all, [Black Light] can kill even the [First Generation Species] known as the "immortal", and no one wants to be an enemy of such a being. ?Xia En also didnt expect that a few casual words would have such a good effect. But he did not forget the purpose of coming to the [Land of Glory]. Soon, Xia En asked Xiaobai: "Speaking of which, it seems that we have ceased war with the [Truth Society] recently? What''s going on?" Hearing this, Xiaobai looked indignant, but hesitated to speak. He glanced at the [star] next to him that was emitting platinum light. Let me speak. ǡ said frankly: "After all, I was the first to propose the peace talks." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Peace talks?" After the war between [Huijiao] and [Truth Society], the two sides have already formed a **** feud. If you want peace talks, you will definitely face great resistance. No wonder Xiaobai looked at him like this. ?However, Xia En thought about it and immediately guessed the root cause behind the peace talks. Is it because of the prophecy of the Second Flood? "Yes, we have verified from many sources that the disaster of annihilation is indeed coming." Under the overturned nest, how can there be any intact eggs? In the face of this kind of disaster, we should temporarily put aside our contradictions and find ways to get through this disaster first. Furthermore, it is said that it is a peace negotiation, but in fact, it is also a competition between the three major esoteric religions. Shane: Oh, how do you say it? Immediately, [Xingchen] recounted the conversation that took place in the unique [Secret Realm] to Xia En. Including the agreements and oaths made by the three major esoteric religions. The reason [Xingchen] knows so clearly is because...he himself is a witness to this peace meeting! ?This also shows his unusual identity. From beginning to end, [Xingchen]s attitude was very calm. Obviously, he believed from the bottom of his heart that what he did was right, so he had a clear conscience. In fact, there are many people who hold this idea in Huijiao. After all, once the whole world is flooded, even if the war between esoteric cults is won, everything will be meaningless. ?Compared with the resolute death struggle faction, this can only be said to be a conceptual difference. It cannot represent disloyalty to the Lord of billions of rays of light. ǡcontinues: "Moreover, we have reached an agreement on the surface." Secretly, we are also using unique secret techniques to lock the identities of [Truth Society] members. We have not forgotten the **** feud in the past! ?His words were so sonorous and powerful that the eyes of Xiaobai next to him changed slightly. "I see." Xia En was not surprised and simply asked: "Then have you found out the source of the great flood?" s expression froze under the light, and he shook his head helplessly: Not yet. The first batch of believers who went to the far north have not yet heard back. "However, the progress of the other two religions is definitely not that fast." Xia En shook his head: "That''s not what I want to say." Have you ever considered the possibility that those who are preparing to set off this world-destroying flood are none other than members of the [Truth Society]! You are stalling for time, and so are they. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. ?There is no other reason. This speculation is too sensational. ?This not only means that the [Truth Society] has been in an invincible position from the beginning in the competition between the three religions. It also means that the [Truth Society] may have been on the opposite side of the entire [Seven Seas World]. This, how is this possible... [Xingchen] looked dazed and said dullly: "No matter what, the [Truth Society] won''t be so crazy, right?" Xiaobai murmured to himself: "Destroying the entire world, what good will it do to them?" ?Of course, Xia En has no actual basis for this. ??But judging from the [Undertaker] encountered during the promotion ritual, the [Truth Society] is definitely secretly preparing some terrible plan. ?That plan not only exists in modern times, but also runs through the past and future, hidden in the cracks of history! ??Moreover, after witnessing with my own eyes the truth that the [Seven Seas World] is only a larger [Secret Realm] in the [Secret Sea]. Xia Ens horizons have broadened a lot. ?Perhaps, the [Truth Society] is preparing to reshape the order of the [Seven Seas World] with the help of the disaster of destruction. Perhaps the [Truth Society] wants to get rid of the restrictions of the [Seven Seas World] and go to a wider world? Intuition told Xia En that this was definitely something the [Truth Society] could do. ?However, guesses are just guesses after all. Xia En could not convince the people of the Hui Religion through this. His purpose was just to plant a seed in the hearts of the Hui Religion believers so that they would always be wary of the [Truth Society]. Subsequently, Xia En got another piece of information from Xiao Bai. Recently, the Seven Seas Federation has been gathering people with lofty ideals from all forces to go to the far north to face the disaster. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little strange. The Federation is so big, wouldnt it take some people several months just to go to the Far North? By then, wont we have missed the most critical period? Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, that''s normal." But it is said that some time ago, the Federations space transmission technology made a huge breakthrough. The Federation has decided to build teleportation platforms to the Far North near various important islands. In this way, people from the seven sea areas can reach that extremely cold land in time. ?Xia En suddenly understood, but he inevitably had some doubts in his heart. How could it be such a coincidence that the breakthrough in teleportation technology was completed just when the prophecy of the second great flood was spread? Or is it that this breakthrough has been achieved a long time ago, but the Federation has always used it as a trump card to suppress the situation, and it was not revealed until now? Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked: "Is there such a teleportation platform near [Liu Li Island]?" "certainly!" ?Xiaobai nodded heavily, then quickly realized something, and looked at Xia En in surprise. Senior [Black Light], are you near [Liu Li Island] right now? Xia En responded: "Yeah, what''s the matter?" Xiaobai said happily: "What a coincidence, I happen to be on [Liu Li Island], maybe we can meet him!" Hearing this, Xia En''s mood suddenly became a little strange. In short, it feels like netizens who have been chatting online for many days finally want to meet face to face. ?This time, will he put on a vest to hide his true identity? How about we just show off our cards and stop pretending? Just when Xia En was hesitating, he heard Xiao Bai''s excited thoughts. With the strength of Senior [Black Light], if you go to the far north, you will definitely be the first person to discover the secret of the Great Flood. ?Other believers are also full of faith. Senior [Black Light] takes action personally, and he will definitely be able to capture it! Perhaps, Mr. [Black Light] is the person predicted to prevent the catastrophe from coming! In fact, in the face of this second great flood, the people on the Seven Seas did not fall into despair, nor did they directly start various plans to preserve the fire of civilization. ? is because In the prophecy spread across the Seven Seas, there is actually another sentence. When the eyes of the whole world fall on the Far North, there may be people who will stand up in times of crisis, hold up the building before it collapses, and turn the tide before it collapses. No one knows who spread this prophecy. Some people say that it was a prediction made by a great fortune-teller who sacrificed his life. Some people say that it is the content recorded on an ancient stone tablet. In short, because of the existence of this prophecy, people in the Federation became panicked, and their morale did not collapse directly. They were even able to organize effective resistance. Some people still have small ambitions in their hearts. ?Perhaps the person who prevents the disaster is himself? Becoming the chosen one, accomplishing impossible feats, and gaining countless fame... Novels with this type of plot have always been very popular in the Seven Seas. ?However, when Xia En heard the believers talking like this, he couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. Members of the family know their own affairs. ??Although he has always maintained an enigmatic image in [The Land of Glory], that is actually the result of a combination of various chances and coincidences. Xia En himself is just a secret path user who has just entered the fifth level. Compared with those sixth-level and even legendary powerhouses, there is still a huge gap. Not long after, Xia En withdrew from [The Land of Glory]. ??This time "online", the most important information is the confirmation that there is a teleportation platform leading to the Far North around [Liuli Island]. ?In this way, Xia En does not need to spend a lot of time traveling. He can completely do what he wants to do on [Liu Li Island], and then use the teleportation array to go to the far north. Alas, I am still too weak. Xia En sighed softly. The prophecy of this world-destroying flood gave him a strong sense of urgency. With his current strength, I am afraid he is not even qualified to participate. Xia En said to himself: "Now, there are two ways to quickly improve your strength." The first is to go to [Liu Li Island] and conduct an all-round upgrade of the hull and various components of the [Black Swan]. The second is to improve career fit and break through to a new level as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En opened the panel and looked at the [Submarine Anchor Point] he left in the [Secret Sea]. This is the anchor point he left after sneaking into the space at the bottom of the [Diamond Star] ship. This is the time to use it! Start diving! (End of this chapter) Chapter 277 【The Secret Realm of the Furnace】 Chapter 277 [The Furnace Secret Realm] The familiar feeling of weightlessness came as expected. Xia En''s consciousness keeps falling and falling again... ?Its just that the feeling of this deep dive is different from previous dives. The chaotic darkness around him was obviously more solid and viscous than usual, giving him a strong sense of envelopment. ??Moreover, during the fall, Xia En clearly felt that he had passed through an indescribable barrier. At first, Shane encountered some resistance. But soon, as his [Secret Power of the Void] seeped out, this barrier was like a coded door with the correct password, allowing Xia En to enter and exit. Obvious. ?This is exactly the [World Barrier] that Xia En has seen during the promotion ritual. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little scared. ??If he tried to use the [Anchor Point] to dive into the [Secret Sea] before he was promoted to the fifth level, he might be blocked by this barrier, and he might even suffer unforeseen injuries. ?However, Xia En remembered the strange sea water under the cabin of the [Diamond Star]. Why can you directly reach the [Secret Sea] by diving into that seawater? ?? Could it be that, as Shane had guessed before, this [Diamond Star] is the projection of its body in the [Secret Sea], and is it so closely connected with the [Secret Sea]? Many complicated thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. Then, when the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, he opened his eyes. What comes into view is a deep and dark sea, so vast that its depth cannot be measured. ?Countless obscure lights and shadows flow rapidly in it. ????????????????????????????Some rays of light are scattered scatteredly, and some are gathered together like a river. In this dark background, it is as bright as a galaxy. Such a scene will always be shocking no matter how many times you see it. Xia En whispered in his heart: "[Secret Sea], I''m back again." To put it into perspective, this is actually the third time that Xia En has dived into the depths of the [Secret Sea]. The first time was during the first-level promotion ritual, when I accidentally performed a [submersible]. ??As a result, he directly ran into a giant thing in the [Secret Sea], and after hurriedly breaking into a world of light bubbles, he was kicked out. The second time, during the fourth-level promotion ritual, the [Submarine Anchor Point] was left in the [Secret Sea]. Before he took a second look, he was crushed by another huge will. ?However, the two [submersible voyages] were extremely short, and there was no valuable harvest. They could only be regarded as trials. Right now, its Xia Ens first official exploration of the [Secret Sea]! ?Xia Ens eyes swept across the chaotic light and shadow in front of him. Soon, his eyes were attracted by one of the nearest light spots, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Eye of Peeping Secretsactivates! Name of the secret realm: Unknown Whether there are traces of intelligent creatures: unknown Characteristics: Unknown Possible loot: unknown Relationship with "Seven Seas World": Very low Danger level: extremely high There are a lot of unknowns in the information that emerges in front of you. Obviously, this is because this [Secret Realm] is less related to the [Seven Seas World], and Xia En''s use of the [Peeping Eye] ability has yet to be developed. So the information I see is relatively limited. ??But even so, the information is by no means worthless. ?Just seeing the column [Danger Level: Extremely High], Xia En decisively gave up exploring this [Secret Realm] and turned to look at other light spots. ?However, maybe Shane was just unlucky. He looked at four or five light spots in succession, all of which were [Secret Realms] with extremely low correlation and extremely high risk. Then on second thought, its the same thing. The [Secret Sea] is so big, and the [Secret Realms] in it are more like countless stars. In such searches, we will definitely encounter [secret realms] that have nothing to do with the [Seven Seas World]. Continue to investigate like this, I dont know when we will find it. Maybe Im looking for it in the wrong way. ?Xia En said to himself, and then a sudden thought occurred. Perhaps, I can directly observe myself with the [Peeping Eye of Secrets], and use this to locate the [Secret Realms] that are highly related to the [Seven Seas World]? ?Shane just did it when he thought of it. He quickly calmed down and observed his [projection body]. Soon, Xia En saw that from the [Projection Body], there were many dry and dark things spreading like branches, faintly connected to several light points in the star sea. It really works! ?Xia En was in an uplifted mood and had some enlightenment. ?These black branches, which are as complex as thorn bushes, are most likely the connection between him and these [secret realms]. In the parlance of Xianxia novels, it is something like karma and fetters. In the Seven Seas, some mystics may use the word "thread of fate" to describe this wonderful connection. After all, Xia Ens body comes from the [Seven Seas World], and the [Secret Realm] related to it should have a high degree of correlation with the [Seven Seas World]. It didnt take long. Xia En found a light spot with more black branches and the closest distance. Secret Realm Name: Furnace Are there any traces of intelligent creatures: Yes Characteristics: "Hot", "Underground claustrophobia", "Shared language", "Trade possible"] Possible loot: lava mine; forging equipment; fire seeds... Relationship with "Seven Seas World": High Risk Level: High "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, the information displayed in this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] was quite comprehensive and rich. Let him immediately have a general understanding of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. ? Judging from various information, [The Furnace Secret Realm] seems to be a good place to explore. The only disadvantage is that the level of danger is higher. ??Xia En turned his head and looked into the distance. There was another light spot covered with many black branches, which was still quite some distance away. ?It will obviously take a lot of time to get there. In the previous process of searching for a highly relevant [Secret Realm], Xia En had already wasted part of the ship''s soul power. ?Besides, no one can guarantee that the next [Secret Realm] encountered will be better than the [Secret Realm of the Furnace]. ?From Xia Ens observation, the locations of different [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea] are actually changing all the time. ?Those flowing starlights are the trajectory of the [Secret Realm]. ?There seems to be some special pattern contained in it, but Xia En is not yet able to study it thoroughly. The current situation is... ???If you arrive near the next [Secret Realm], and that [Secret Realm] turns out to be more dangerous, and you miss the current [Secret Realm of the Furnace], wouldnt it be like drawing water from a bamboo basket but in vain? ?Xia En thought for a moment, decided not to be entangled, and went directly to the light spot in the [Furnace Secret Realm]. As he got closer, the light spots gradually turned into huge light bubbles, whose surface exuded a hazy and dense light, making it look beautiful. ?Looking closely, the surface of the light bubble still has a faint red color, but it is not obvious. Immediately afterwards, Xia En did not hesitate and hit the light bubble directly. ??A huge pulling force came at this moment, and he felt as if his soul was flying up and being pulled towards a certain existence in the [Secret Realm]. Its more like squeeze than pull. Xia En''s soul was forced into this existence under the influence of some external force. The next moment. ?The heavy touch from the real world came from the limbs, along with several strange sensations. Hot and dry. The smell of blood lingering on the tip of the nose, the smell of some kind of rotting corpse. ??Although Xia En''s [Projection Body] already has various senses, it always seems to be separated by a thin film, which is different from the original body. ?But the senses he was feeling at the moment seemed extremely real and clear, as if Xia En''s true body had arrived. Whats going on? ?Xia En moved his fingers with difficulty, only to feel that his body was unusually slow and numb. ?Even the simple action of opening your eyes seems extremely difficult. ?This uncomfortable feeling lasted for more than ten seconds, and the unspeakable numbness and dullness all over my body finally gradually faded away. ?Shaan felt as if he had awakened from a long hibernation and regained his ability to move little by little. Finally, Xia En opened his eyes and saw the surrounding scene clearly. All he saw was a groggy, underground cave-like space around him. ?On the ground not far away, there was a strange "kerosene lamp", and the swaying firelight reflected the scene inside the cave. A strange animal corpse three meters high and six to seven meters long was lying in front of Xia En. ?Its head seemed to have been hit by some kind of blunt instrument, and it was beyond recognition. ?Shaan could only barely tell that this was probably some kind of lizard-like monster. ?It is completely red, with red sarcomas on its back and crown, which look like organs that store energy. Fine scales are spread all over the body, and the four claws are very sharp. ?There are scars from being beaten with blunt objects all over the body of the lizard monster, and many places were directly dented. Dark red blood accumulated under its body, and the water evaporated under the high temperature, leaving only clots of clotted blood. Combined with the surrounding potholes on the ground and walls, it is not difficult to see that a fierce battle took place in this cave. One of the fighting parties has died, so where is the other party at this time? ?Suddenly, Xia En felt something was wrong. ?Perspective! ?His angle of view is much shorter than usual! Just now, Xia En''s attention was focused on the surrounding environment and he hadn''t noticed anything wrong yet. But when he looked up at the height of the lizard and the burrow, he suddenly woke up. ?Xia En quickly looked down at his right hand, and what he saw was a completely unfamiliar palm. ?This palm looks short and thick, and there is a layer of calluses. On the arm, he wears a unique style of arm armor, the craftsmanship is very complex and exquisite. Xia En looked at other parts of his body and found that not only his palms, but his entire body had become unusually short and thick. Like...the dwarves he had seen before! Obviously, this is definitely not his own body! Xia En looked shocked and murmured: "What''s going on?" He took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and carefully sensed his own condition. Soon, Xia En discovered that just like when he was [submersible] in the past, he could still feel the existence of his own body, and he could also release the [submersible] state at any time. In other words, the essence of his body is still the [projection body]. ??Its just that when entering the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], a special mutation occurred, causing the [Projected Body] to slip into a strange body. After Xia En carefully analyzed it, he immediately had a guess in his mind. ??The "squeezing" force he felt before was probably the repulsive force coming from the [Furnace Secret Realm]. After all, to this world, Shane is a veritable stowaway. This is different from the situation in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]. [Blood Moon Secret Realm] itself is a secret realm that relies on [Seven Seas World], and [Secret Realm] has always regarded the secret travelers of [Seven Seas World] as its own. ? And Xia En possesses the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], which is equivalent to being recognized by the [Rhine Secret Realm], and is even regarded as the [Lord of the Rhine]. So, he can decide to let outsiders enter the [Rhine Secret Realm] without being rejected by the will of the [Secret Realm]. But to [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is like a thief who broke into this place, and it is inevitable that he will be hostile. ?In this case, the [Projection Body] was forced to get into the body of an aboriginal in [The Furnace Secret Realm] to avoid the pressure of the will of the [Secret Realm]. ?However, this is obviously not without impact. ?Shaan glanced at the panel. Projector''s name: BronzebeardWarhammer Race: Dwarf Current comprehensive quality: 3.5! His current overall quality is only about one-third of what it was under normal conditions. Taking into account the need to adapt to an unfamiliar body, the combat power that Xia En can exert will only be lower. ?Of course, Xia En also realized that he could actually temporarily let the [projection body] leave this body to fight, thus unleashing his full combat power. ?However, doing so may cause the will of [Secret Realm] to be rejected, causing [Submarine] to end prematurely. It can be regarded as a trump card when forced to do so. After sorting out the situation, Xia En forced himself to stand up. It was then that he saw a huge war hammer lying next to the giant lizard corpse. At a rough estimate, it seems to be longer than the height of Shane''s body. Obviously, this is the weapon of this "Bronzebeard Warhammer". ?Xia En picked up the war hammer and felt warm and hard to the touch, and there was an inexplicable feeling like being driven by an arm. ?That is probably the muscle memory remaining in this body, which can be turned into some good fighting skills. This hammer ?Xia En looked at the warhammer carefully and was suddenly surprised. ?The entire hammer is made of an unknown material. It seems to have used some special forging process. The quality and hardness are very good. ?Furthermore, there is a special quenching pattern on the surface of the warhammer, which is a bit like flames and a bit like thorns. ?The strange thing is that this pattern actually gives Xia En a sense of familiarity. As if I have seen it somewhere. Quenchingforging Xia En suddenly realized: "By the way, it''s Xian Ge!" Bronze Dragon String Song seems to have similar lines generated when using [Forging Fire Technique]. At this moment. ?There was a sound of footsteps in the cave not far away. (End of this chapter) Chapter 278 【Fire】【Warhammer Tribe】 Chapter 278 [Fire Seed] [Warhammer Tribe] ?A rush of footsteps broke the silence in the underground cave. ?Xia En held the sledgehammer, turned his head, and looked warily towards the direction where the footsteps came from. I saw a group of dwarf warriors wearing refined armor walking out of a corridor, looking for something nervously and anxiously. The first thing they saw was naturally the huge red lizard and the horrific injuries on its body. Its the Salamander just now! It looks like he died not long ago, and there are signs of fighting nearby! Look around quickly, maybe Bronzebeard is still alive! Hearing these words, Xia En immediately understood that these dwarves came to search and rescue "himself". Based on Xia Ens observation just now, it has been basically determined ??Although the fire lizard was killed by a heavy hammer, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" also suffered irreparable injuries during the battle with it, and eventually died. This gave the [Projection Body] the opportunity to occupy this corpse. ?Thinking of this, Xia En let out a low groan: "Well..." Hearing the sound, the dwarves quickly passed over the body of the Salamander and saw Xia En who seemed to have just woken up from a coma. Thats great, Brother Bronzebeard! Its great to see you again. ??A bearded dwarf said excitedly: "You actually killed this beast alone. You are worthy of being the most heroic warrior in the tribe!" Another dwarf also expressed his happiness: "I thought... I would never see you again." ?But soon, the dwarves noticed that Xia En looked a little confused, as if he didn''t understand what was happening. Bronzebeard, are you okay? With vigilance in his eyes, Xia En said hoarsely: "Who are you...?" Hmm? Whats going on? Hearing this, the dwarves'' faces changed slightly and they said in surprise: "You, don''t you recognize us?" ?Xia En didnt speak, but looked at them suspiciously and warily. The dwarf doctor in the team carefully observed Shane''s condition and speculated: "His head seems to have been hit hard by the Salamander. This kind of injury may cause temporary amnesia." Hissamnesia Hearing this judgment, the dwarves looked a little sad. At first, the bearded dwarf even apologized: "It''s all my fault. If only I could come back with help as soon as possible..." In fact, Bronzebeard was not the only one who encountered the Fire Lizard before. It''s just that the strength of these companions is far inferior to Bronzebeard, and remaining will only become a drag. In order to cut off their rear, Bronzebeard took the initiative to stay and fight the Salamander. Dont be so pessimistic. The dwarf doctor said: "No matter what, Bronzebeard is still alive, he just lost his memory temporarily." In the future, there will be a chance to recover the memory. There may be other fire species lairs nearby, so wed better go home as soon as possible. The words of the dwarf doctor immediately attracted the recognition of others, so they carried the body of the fire lizard, took Xia En with them, and walked towards the way they came. Such a fire lizard is a very valuable trophy for the Warhammer tribe. ??Dwarves certainly have no reason to waste. ?Perhaps out of apology or concern, the bearded dwarf followed Xia En and took the initiative to speak. Let me introduce myself, I am Kull, and I was your good brother before you lost your memory. If you want to know anything, you can ask me. As he spoke, Kull patted Shane on the shoulder, with a hint of guilt still in his eyes. Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up slightly. The theory of "amnesia" was of course made up by him to deal with the dwarves. This is also the best strategy at the moment. After all, he inherited Bronzebeard''s body, but not the dwarf''s memory. If he communicated normally with the dwarves, the secret would be exposed soon. I have to say that although this routine is very old, it is more effective than it is! At this time, Kuhl is undoubtedly a good source of intelligence. Not long after, Shane asked Kuer several questions. ??Kul also answered with great patience. ?According to Kuhl, Shane learned that this group of dwarves had been living in this strange underground cave since birth. ?Countless complex and ancient tunnels, caves excavated at unknown times, and naturally formed caves... together constitute this huge underground world. In the mouths of the dwarves, this underground world is called... Ghana! means a space that is always hot and exists underground. ??The "Warhammer" tribe where Bronzebeard and Kull belong is only one of many dwarf tribes, and they are among the weaker ones. So the area where I live is relatively remote. It is said that those truly powerful and prosperous dwarf tribes have established real cities underground! Goooo! ??Just when Shane was asking for information from Kuhl, a dull roar suddenly came from the tunnel not far away. Hearing this sound, the dwarves couldn''t help but change their expressions. They quickly put down the body of the Salamander and hid in the corner of the cave. ??Kul also took Xia En and hid aside. All the dwarves held their breath, not even daring to take a breath. Obviously, they were very afraid of the roaring presence in the tunnel, as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Soon, the vague feeling of pressure and heaviness began to dissipate, the air became extremely hot, and the body temperature increased several degrees. Even with the physique of the dwarves adapted to the [Furnace Secret Realm], sweat could not help but drip from their bodies, and their backs were covered with sweat. Fortunately, this heavy pressure did not last long. For a moment, the being hidden in the tunnel seemed to have turned away from the cave and gradually moved away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started to act again. ??Kul also took a long breath and said to himself: "It was so dangerous...I almost hit another Agni." Fire type? ?Xia En asked curiously. ? He ??remembered that in the [Possible Loot] column of [The Furnace Secret Realm], "Fire Seed" appeared. ??Moreover, the lizard that Bronzebeard killed earlier also had a simple and crude name like "Salamander". Brother Bronzebeard, you have even forgotten this... ??Kul glanced at Shane sympathetically, but still explained: "In this underground world, dwarves have never been the real masters." Fire is the favorite of [Ghana]. They are born with strong bodies, hard scales, and can directly control fire. Only a team of dwarves can kill a Salamander like before. Speaking of this, the guilt in Kulls eyes became even greater. "Brother Bronzebeard, if you hadn''t lost your memory, your victory over the Fire Lizard alone would rank among the top five in our clan." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. He was a little surprised before. With the strength displayed by these dwarves, they did not seem to be very dangerous to the [Projection Body]. ?Now that I think about it, the real danger is not necessarily the dwarves, but the fire seeds hidden deep in the caves. ?That is the real strong man in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. ?However, Xia En couldn''t help but think of another question. ??These dwarves, in terms of racial characteristics, are no different from the dwarves in the [Seven Seas World]. It can even be said that they are the same species! ?So, why do dwarves live in the [Forge Secret Realm]? ??Moreover, from Kuhls description, they have lived here for at least hundreds of years? ?Xia En had a bold guess in his heart. Perhaps, the ancestors of these dwarves came from the [Secret Sea World]! They came to the [Secret Realm of the Furnace] through some special method and settled here, continuing the race to this day. So, the Agni people are the original inhabitants of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. The dwarves are just a group of outsiders! This can also explain why [The Furnace Secret Realm] has a high degree of correlation with [Seven Seas World]. Why the Agni species naturally have great advantages in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The reason why Xia En came up with this guess was because he recalled the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Hundreds of years ago, when the first great flood came. Since those despicable vampires can choose to sacrifice the residents of a city, let the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] break away from the [Seven Seas World] and sink into the [Secret Sea], thereby avoiding the disaster of annihilation. ?Then, dwarves may also have the ability to hide in other [secret realms]. ?Although this is just a guess, Xia En is already 70% to 80% sure. There is no sunlight in caves located underground. But in the walls of the tunnel, a red crystal can occasionally be seen, emitting a faint but firm light. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like there is a fire burning deep in the rock wall. ?Kool explained to Shane that it was a specialty of [Ghana] - lava mine. Not only can it play a lighting role, as a fuel for "mining lamps", it is also widely used in the forging of various equipment and weapons. The so-called "mining lamp" is the weird lamp that Shane saw before. It is also one of the necessary equipment for every dwarf to travel. ?However, even if the lava mines were so useful, the dwarves would not dig out the lava mines in every rock wall. Instead, they will deliberately leave some lava mines for lighting in important passages. Because in this world, darkness is a very terrifying existence. ??If a dwarf is in a dark environment, he will start to murmur meaninglessly within a day, and his rationality will gradually slip towards madness. The longer the time goes on, the more unstable the mind will become. Even if they return to the light after this, they will leave indelible mental scars. No dwarf can last three days in the absence of light. Because once the three days are up, the dwarf will mysteriously disappear and never be seen again, as if... he was completely swallowed by some existence in the darkness. Because of these complex reasons, the closer we get to the Warhammer tribe, the more lava minerals contained in the rock walls increase. The passage also looks brighter and brighter. At the same time, the temperature in the air is gradually heating up, and there is a slight burning feeling on the surface of the body. ?However, the dwarves such as Kuhl are very adaptable to the temperature here, with a relaxed smile on their faces. Obviously, in the long process of survival and evolution, the dwarves have also evolved a physique adapted to the [Forge Secret Realm]. After passing through a slightly lengthy tunnel. Xia En''s vision suddenly broadened. What appeared in front of us was a spacious space like an underground hall. ??In the central rock formation above this underground space, there is a huge red crystal, like a small sun, providing light to the entire space. On the surrounding rock walls, there are scattered caves embedded in themthese are the residences of each dwarf. ?Although it may seem a bit sloppy, this kind of collective settlement can greatly protect the safety of ordinary dwarves. In the center of the entire space, there stands a huge furnace. Something seems to be being forged in the furnace. Around the furnace, several strong dwarves were beating a red metal block with hammers larger than their bodies. Dang! clang! clang! With a sonorous and powerful knocking sound, the metal block gradually took shape, and many small scale-like lines appeared on the surface. At this time, one of the dwarves with white beard and hair poured a basin of thick blood onto the metal block. With a "chi" sound, blood-colored steam steamed up. The unique secret power in the blood is integrated into the metal block in a wonderful way, giving it a magical luster. Xia En watched this scene intently, and couldn''t help but feel a little amazed in his heart. ?He has long heard that the dwarves'' forging skills are extremely excellent, and when he saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. But then again, as far as Xia En knows... The dwarves of the Seven Seas seem to have lost some important inheritance, causing the forged equipment to lose its soul and deteriorate in quality. Now, Xia En was able to witness a lost skill, and he was inevitably shocked. At this time, the forging of the dwarves seemed to have come to an end temporarily. ??The dwarf with a white beard and bare arms also noticed the return of Xia En and others, and stretched out his hand to greet them. Bronzebeard, Kull, are you back? Thats good, I even brought back a fire lizard. Im worried that the blood of the fire lizard is not enough! ??Kul was about to speak but stopped: "Master Patriarch..." "Um?" ??The patriarch named Hope has a straightforward personality and couldn''t stand Kull''s hesitant attitude, so he asked. If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, let it go! What does it look like? Hearing this, Kull had no choice but to say: "Brother Bronzebeard seemed to have injured his brain during the battle with the Salamander and temporarily lost his memory." As soon as these words came out, all the dwarves were shocked and looked at Xia En with surprised eyes. ?Xia En also noticed something was wrong at this time. Under normal circumstances, this kind of amnesia should not be publicized in such a big way. Or does Cool have other purposes? ?Hope glanced at Kull with a hint of meaning, then turned to look at Shane and asked: "Bronzebeard, is that so?" ?Shane nodded "confused" and "innocently", playing the state of an amnesia patient very well. ??Hope said calmly: "Okay, Bronzebeard, you go back to your cave to rest first." Ill come find you later. (End of this chapter) Chapter 279 Malice from the world Chapter 279 Malice from the world Shaen, who had "amnesia", naturally couldn''t remember where his cave was. Under the leadership of a dwarf, he returned to his "home". It is said to be "home", but in fact the interior layout of this cave is extremely simple. ?There is only a stone bed and a stone bench. ?The walls are decorated with animal heads, skins and swords, hanging even a little messily. From this, it can be seen that, except for the advanced forging technology, the living conditions of the dwarves are definitely not very good. ??Moreover, Xia En was the only one in this simple living room. Previously, from Kull, Shane learned that Bronzebeards parents had passed away long ago and there were no other relatives in the family. This is undoubtedly good news for Shane, which greatly reduces the possibility of him being exposed. Along the way, he also heard some whispers among the dwarves, and then he understood the meaning of the meaningful look in Chief Hope''s eyes. It turns out that Kull and Bronzebeard are the two most prestigious young men in the Warhammer tribe. ??Kul is good at forging and blacksmithing. Bronzebeard is extremely talented in combat - as evidenced by the fire lizard that died with him earlier. The two of them are also regarded by other tribesmen as candidates for the next tribe leader. This time, Kull and Bronzebeard went out together. As a result, Bronzebeard accidentally lost his memory, but Kull was unscathed, which inevitably makes people a little suspicious. Back in the cave, Xia En touched his chin and whispered to himself: "That''s it." ?He had vaguely sensed something was wrong before. ??Kool''s attitude towards himself was particularly enthusiastic, and when he said the word "good brother", his expression was slightly weird. ?However, Xia Ens purpose is not simple either. ?Coupled with the stereotype that dwarves have always been straightforward and reckless, he subconsciously ignored these anomalies. ?But thinking about it now, Xia En immediately realized that Bronzebeard''s death in the battle might not be a coincidence, but a long-planned conspiracy. ?Perhaps, when Bronzebeard was cutting off Kull''s rear, Kull deliberately slowed down his return with reinforcements. By the time the dwarves arrived at Bronzebeard''s side, it was already too late. ??Kul can also safely sit on the throne of the next patriarch. But no one expected that a shadow from outside the [Furnace Secret Realm] would occupy Bronzebeard''s body, and this was the story behind it. ?Of course, there are still many things in this guess that Sean has not been able to confirm, and some are even just subjective inferences. But mere speculation is enough. In fact, Shaan is not very interested in Bronzebeard''s interpersonal relationships, or even the Warhammer tribe as a whole. After all, the combat power of this group of dwarves is not that strong. Even the white-bearded dwarf leader, in Xia Ens opinion, has about a third-level combat power. Even if Xia En does not use the trump card of [Projection Body] and only uses the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer", he may still be able to defeat the opponent. Strength is confidence! From another perspective, the identity of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is also something that can be given up for Xia En. ?? I am really forced to do it as a last resort, so I just show my cards and stop pretending! So, although Xia En vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, he did not take the initiative to do anything. He only thought that the soldiers would come to block it and the water would come to cover it up. Compared with these trivial matters, he cares more about... What can you bring to yourself by exploring the [Forge Secret Realm]? ?Xia En''s eyes flashed with thought, and he quickly listed several goals in his mind. First of all, that strange lava mine is a specialty of [The Furnace Secret Realm] and may have unique effects. He will definitely get a few pieces to take back to [Seven Seas World]. Secondly, the body structure of Agni is very different from the creatures in the Seven Seas World. ?This creature itself is a precious material. Finally, the unique forging and smelting secrets of the dwarves are also very valuable. ?From Xia Ens observation, the properties of materials forged by dwarves tend to be greatly improved. And extremely solid and durable. Such a stable output will be a very popular product whether it is for personal use or for trade. ?However, Xia En obviously does not have the energy and time to learn this technology by himself - it is too late for him to just improve his own strength, so where can he find the time to become a blacksmith? ?Thinking of this, Xia En had a dangerous idea in his mind. It would be great if we could kidnap a few dwarf craftsmen "Um?" ?Xia Ens eyes widened slightly, as if he had discovered a blind spot. ?That''s right, he himself didn''t have time to learn the dwarves'' forging techniques, but as long as he packed the dwarves directly and took them away, wouldn''t there be so many problems? Not only the dwarves, but also their homes, these huge furnaces and hammers, were also taken away. ?Of course, Xia En did not intend to take the dwarves away by force like the slave trade. ?Given that the environment of [Rhine Secret Realm] is much better than [Furnace Secret Realm], maybe there will be a group of dwarves willing to leave with him? Just like the previous [Moon-Yong Clan] and [Treant Clan]. By then, [Rhine Secret Land] will not only have a hard-working labor force, but also craftsmen who master advanced craftsmanship. The construction of [Rhine City] will definitely advance rapidly. The excess equipment forged can also be traded on the Seven Seas in exchange for seeds, materials and equipment. Even one day, maybe Xia En can cultivate a kingdom of his own in the [Rhine Secret Realm]? Just imagining that scene, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but beat fast, and he felt a strong sense of anticipation. ?However, dreams are very full and reality is very skinny. At this time, a crucial question was placed in front of Xia En He must first have the ability to take away the dwarves and the lava mine! Shane has just checked. Probably because it is in the [submersible] state and is in another [secret realm]. The space ring on his body cannot be used, and the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] on his chest has temporarily lost its response. This means that the only loot he can take away is the one at the end of [Submarine]! There is still a long way to go to establish a stable passage between [Seven Seas World] and [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The secret technique that connects two [secret realms] ?Xia En touched his chin and remembered the **** full moon on the sea. That was the way for vampires to enter the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Since this precedent exists, there will definitely be similar secret techniques in the Seven Seas. As one of the centers of the Federation, [Liu Li Island] may have records of such secret techniques. ?Thinking of this, Xia En silently remembered this matter in his heart. Just when Shane was thinking about these questions. In the open space below, many dwarves were enthusiastically dismantling the body of the Salamander. For the dwarves, fire seeds are full of treasures! Their flesh and blood is food. It can nourish the bodies of dwarves, allowing them to become stronger and gradually adapt to the hot environment. Their blood is an indispensable raw material for forging equipment, and can provide mysterious and strange blessings to the equipment. Their claws and scales are all made of fine materials. Some of them can be used as useful tools with just simple polishing. When the Salamander was disembowelled, its bronze skeleton was exposed. Xia En couldn''t help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes. ?He was still curious before, obviously he didnt see any metal mines in [Forge World], so where did the metal on the hammer and armor come from. ?Now, when he saw the skeleton inside the Salamander, Xia En understood everything immediately. It turns out that these fire species have some special ability to continuously absorb metal elements from the air, soil, and food, and integrate these metal elements into their own bones. For ordinary creatures, this is undoubtedly a road to death. But for the Agni, this has already become their instinct. Thats why their bones become natural metal mines and become the materials used by the dwarves for forging. In the mouths of the dwarves, there seem to be different standards for classifying the fire types. ?Like the one brought back by Xia En and others, it is a "bronze" fire type. Soon, the dwarves dug out a large red crystal from the heart of the Salamander. Even though the Salamander has been dead for a long time, this crystal is still emitting a hot and bright light. It is the lava deposit that exists in the rock wall! Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised again. The lava mine is actually the heart of the fire species? ?The red light in the walls of [The Furnace Secret Realm], could it be the corpses of one fire species after another? Or should we say that every fire species is born in a rock formation with lava as its core? ?No matter what, this discovery made Xia En feel very novel. The world is full of wonders. Different environments have created different ecosystems and ways of living. In every secret realm, there will probably be a unique and exclusive race like [Fire Type]. at the same time. ?In the corner of the cave, the bearded Kuhl also returned to his home. ?But as soon as he entered the cave, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, pacing back and forth, and muttering to himself at the same time. How could...how could it be possible... Bronzebeard actually killed a Salamander and survived? Soon, a strong female dwarf walked out of the cave. According to the dwarven aesthetic standards, her appearance is very iconic, and she can be regarded as a "beauty." This female dwarf is called Mary, and she is Kull''s wife. Hearing Kull''s voice, Mary''s expression also changed slightly: "What? Your plan failed?" ??Kul was obviously a little afraid of his wife, and said cowardly in a low voice: "It''s not a complete failure..." The current Bronzebeard has lost his memory. ?Mary sneered and said: "But he still survived, and he is much stronger than you!" Oh no, to be precise, he should be stronger than before, right? Are you sure that no matter which tribe you belong to, only the strong can become the leader? Even the level of forging is important, but the leader of a clan must still be able to fight! ?Mary''s words poured out like a barrage of cannonballs, severely penetrating Kull''s already fragile defense. Ive said it before, as long as Bronzebeard is alive, you will never be the leader of the Warhammer Tribe! As she spoke, Mary''s eyes showed a little regret. If I had known you would be so indecisive, maybe I shouldnt have left my tribe to marry you! ?This sentence was undoubtedly extremely lethal to Kuhl. He covered his face in great pain and asked helplessly. Then what should I do now? ?Mary''s tone was still cold: "If you find an opportunity, do it again." ??Kul muttered to himself in confusion: "But now that he has returned home, where can he find an opportunity?" As long as you are willing to wait, there is always an opportunity ?Mary''s eyes were burning with dark fire as she murmured to herself. ?The reason why she insists on making Kuhl the leader of the Warhammer tribe is of course not just because of the so-called vanity, but also because of her mission. Where there are people, there will be strife. ??Dwarves are no exception. The tribe that Mary came from is a "Barbarian Axe Tribe" that is closer to the "Warhammer Tribe". Due to conflicts over territory and resources, there were frequent struggles between the two tribes, and a battle even broke out at one point. ?And Mary is the chess piece laid by the Wild Ax Tribe in the Warhammer Tribe. Although the dwarves are generally straightforward and reckless, it does not mean that there are no people among them who are good at conspiracy. ?In the Wild Ax Tribes vision, as long as Mary becomes the wife of the next leader, she can annex the Warhammer Tribe. At the beginning, Bronzebeard and Kull, as outstanding young men among the younger generation, pursued Mary, a dwarf beauty. But at that time, Bronzebeard had not yet shown his fighting talent. So, Mary chose Cool as her husband. Who would have thought that later, Bronzebeard''s strength would advance by leaps and bounds, but Kull would fall behind. In order to complete her mission, Mary came up with the evil plan, and this led to the current conversation. But for Kuhl, this is undoubtedly a double torture. On one side are your own tribe and your former friends. On the other side, there is the desire for power in his heart and his beloved wife. Such a pulling feeling almost drove him crazy! Mary, why dont you forget it? Its a good day like this, isnt it? Looking at Kull who looked pained and cautious, Mary''s eyes flashed with pity. But the next moment, the softness in her eyes was replaced by determination. She still has the stubborn and persistent character of a dwarf after all, and will never give up until she achieves her goal! ?However, Mary had not yet said anything. Boom! From the depths of the cave across the layers of rock walls, there was a sudden roar. Immediately afterwards, the rock walls around the two people began to shake violently. Click click The entire underground space was shaking, and dust and gravel continued to fall from the ceiling. The incident occurred suddenly, and the dwarves of the Warhammer tribe fell into panic. What happened? Is the cave, is the cave going to collapse? ?Among the panicked dwarves, only the patriarch Hope remained calm. ?His face was extremely ugly and he murmured: "The ground is rumbling! The ground is rumbling!" In the cave, Xia En couldn''t help but frowned, his expression solemn. For some reason, he had a strong premonition. ?This sudden disaster came because of him! Its like That is the malice from the whole world! (End of this chapter) Chapter 280 [Metal Furnace] [Lizard King] Chapter 280 [The Furnace Strategy] [The Lizard King] ??Rumble Violent vibrations shook the underground space. Rock formations, rock walls, caves and other structures appear less stable and safe under this huge force. There were gravels constantly falling from the top of the head, and even the light from the lava mines in the rock wall became a little dim. What frightens the dwarves even more is the roar one after another coming from the deeper space. It seems that if this continues, the entire underground cave will collapse and bury them all in it! Is this the sound of the earth? ?Xia En frowned, and his mood was also very solemn. But the reason for his solemn mood was different from that of the dwarves. The dwarves may have thought that this was an unexpected disaster, but in Xia En''s opinion, this "earth rumbling" was coming for him! ?This feeling has no basis, it is just pure intuition, but Xia En is inexplicably 70% to 80% sure. Obviously, this is related to his status as a "smuggler". In the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En is blessed by the will of the [Secret Realm], and naturally has stronger luck than ordinary people, and it is easier to encounter opportunities and treasures. Even as the degree of exploration increases, this blessing can continue to grow. This is the benefit of [Secret Realm]s will recognition. But for [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is equivalent to the so-called "extraterritorial demon", and the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely be hostile and malicious. He may have noticed traces of "stowaways" in this area, so he triggered "earth cries" in the area, hoping to kill or force out the little bug. ?This made Xia En both surprised and afraid. ?On the one hand, he felt that the world will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] thought too highly of him, and actually used such a method directly. On the other hand, Xia En feels that this "earth ringing" is just the beginning! ?The worlds evil will not cause just one disaster. ??As long as Xia En is still in the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], I am afraid he will be targeted continuously. But when he thought of this, Xia Ens first reaction was not fear, but excitement! ?Shane has never been a timid person, otherwise he would have found an island to live in seclusion after paying off his debts. At present, the will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] does not allow Xia En to stay in this world, but instead stimulates his rebellious psychology. You want to drive me away, but I wont go! ?Xia En also gradually developed an ambition in his heart - He wants to conquer this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] just like he conquered the underwater ruins under the sea! ?Shane turned his head and looked at Hope below, and found that although the dwarf leader was a little panicked, he was far from desperate. Obviously, if the Warhammer Horde can continue in [The Crucible], it must have its own trump card. As expected. Soon, Hope shouted loudly: "Come to my place to gather!" As the leader of the Warhammer Tribe, Hope''s authority is unquestionable. His roar immediately woke up many dwarves and moved towards him. Just a moment. The dwarves ran out of their caves, some carrying sledgehammers, and some carrying iron pots on their heads. ?This is not to protect one''s own property. But these cold iron tools can bring them an indescribable sense of security. Xia En also jumped down from the cave and joined the crowd. ?At this time, he discovered that the population of the Warhammer tribe was indeed small, only a few hundred people. When this disaster that was very likely to destroy the entire tribe struck, the dwarves also showed extremely strong cohesion and a considerable degree of order. The older dwarves carried the younger dwarves on their backs, the men led the women, and the strong ones led the ones with limited mobility. Even when Xia En came out of the cave, some dwarves looked at him as an "amnesia patient" with concern. It can be seen that they all regard this underground cave as their home. It also means that Xia Ens future abduction plan may not go so smoothly. In the crowd, Shane naturally saw Kull and his wife. ??But for some reason, Kull''s eyes were a little averted when he looked at him. Instead, the female dwarf he didn''t know looked at him with a dark and unclear look. ??Xia En was also keenly aware of a hint of well-hidden hostility from the female dwarf. Combining the previous speculations, Xia En vaguely guessed something. ?However, he didn''t say anything, he just came to Hope with the other dwarves and gathered around the huge furnace. The flames in the furnace are still burning brightly, making crackling sounds and emitting hot temperatures from time to time. ?Shaan originally thought that the furnace was just a forging tool. But as the dwarves gathered, he soon discovered that this was not the case. Wait until the dwarves gathered around the furnace. ??The patriarch Hope picked up the sledgehammer and hit the big iron stove with all his strength. ?The iron furnace was vibrating, making a magnificent and ancient sound, like the sound of a bell. Immediately afterwards, a deeply hidden secret power rose from the depths of the furnace. ??The surface of the huge furnace also gradually lit up with numerous rough red lines, blooming with flickering brilliance. The moment the red lines appeared, Xia En immediately felt that the shaking rock walls around him became stable and the vibrations were no longer so violent. It is as if this space has been reinforced by some special secret power to resist the "earth ringing" deep underground. And Hopes actions are just the beginning! Subsequently, the surrounding dwarves, all of whom could hold the war hammer, struck the huge furnace with a hammer. Dang! clang! clang! ?One knock after another, one after another, sounded in this trembling underground space. ?Each time you hit it, the surface of the furnace will have more lines and become brighter. By this time, Xia En gradually saw the shapes of those lines clearly. It is actually somewhat similar to the magic pattern of [Seven Sea World], but it is also like some kind of totem or mural, recording some unique information. However, due to the urgency of the situation, Xia En could not remember it in detail. At the same time, the unspeakable secret power in the furnace began to undergo even more bizarre changes. ?It not only vaguely connects this underground space with the furnace, but also fuses the aura of the entire Warhammer tribe into one, thus becoming stronger and stronger. It feels like putting the power of all the dwarves in the Warhammer tribe into a furnace. In the forging of the furnace fire, we usher in a wonderful sublimation. ?This power is a bit like the power of faith, but it is obviously different, as if it also condenses the power of blood and the power of lava mines. Obviously, this is a fighting method unique to the dwarves of [Melting World]! Looking at this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little moved, and he also restrained the slight contempt in his heart. ??The power of a single dwarf may not be that strong, but when the power of the entire tribe is gathered together, such a blazing flame bursts out. More importantly. ?Shaan also saw from the actions of the dwarves their struggle and tenacity in such a harsh environment. ?Like the hard rocks on the coast that are not broken by wind or rain, people always feel a little respect for them. ?Moreover, Xia En thought a little more. The essence of the melting pot strategy seems to be to melt the collective strength into one. So, can the [Black Swan], myself, and the crew on the ship use such a strategy? Boom ??The roar from deep underground continues. But the underground space where the Warhammer tribe is located has become strangely stable. The rock walls on all sides are as indestructible as fine steel and remain motionless, making you feel safe. ?Xia En stayed among the crowd, intending to wait silently for the "earth ringing" to subside. ??If it was true, as Shane suspected, that the Earthly Stone came about because of him, then the Warhammer Tribe would have blocked a shot for him. It would be great if we could spend it safely. However, Xia En was a little curious: "What is the so-called ground rumbling?" The dwarf next to him also knew about Bronzebeard''s amnesia and explained kindly. It is said that thousands of meters deep beneath our feet, there is a [Fire] that has existed since ancient times. Its size is extremely large, and it has almost infinite strength and lifespan. Some people say that the reason why our world is called [Ghana] is because of it! Its name is [Ghana]! Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. ??Although he has only explored a very small area of ??the [Forge Secret Realm] now, he still doesnt know how big this world is. But just imagining a creature that can be directly named after a world is enough to understand how terrifying it is. So, the earths ringing is actually its Thats right. The dwarf beside him nodded and continued: "When [Gana] moves or breathes, there will be a phenomenon of earth ringing." However, because [Ghana] is too big. Sometimes, maybe it just moves its head, or it may cause ground rumbling in a local area. The current earthquake is actually relatively small-scale. The truly terrifying earthquake is when [Gana] turns over... When he said this, the dwarf couldn''t help but murmured with obvious fear on his face. Such a thundering sound has only occurred twice in the history that has been handed down. After hearing these words, Xia En learned more about the harsh living conditions in the [Forge Secret Realm]. In such an underground space, the lethality caused by the roar of the earth can only be described as terrifying. It is hard to imagine how the first dwarves who migrated to the [Forge Secret Realm] survived such a disaster. The dwarves'' furnace tactics were obviously forced to develop after disaster after disaster. Thinking of this, Xia En sighed softly: "It''s really amazing." Whats so great about it? ??The dwarf next to him was a little puzzled and muttered in a low voice: "It''s just to survive." ??While Xia En and the dwarf were chatting casually, the violent vibrations coming from deep underground finally began to subside. The faces of many dwarves also showed smiles of surviving the disaster. Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake was not too high this time, and there were no casualties in the Warhammer tribe. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the dwarves who are used to seeing life and death. Just suddenly. Boom! ?Another very close and loud roar exploded in everyone''s ears. ?Above the dwarves, thick cracks suddenly appeared on the rock wall that had seemed indestructible before. Almost in the blink of an eye, these cracks quickly connected together until they spread to the entire rock wall. The next moment. ?The hard rock wall continued to collapse in front of everyone, and the gravel fell one after another. Fortunately, the fire blooming in the furnace was effective again, turning into an invisible barrier to protect the dwarves. ?Xia En thought it was another wave of ground rumblings that suddenly hit. ??But through the hole in the rock formation above, he saw an extremely huge claw, and... an eye with a crimson vertical pupil! ??Not only Xia En, but all the dwarves also saw this behemoth in an instant and exclaimed in surprise. That, thats... Its the Lizard King! Damn it, it must have been woken up by the rumbling of the ground! Obviously, the dwarves are no strangers to this creature named [Fire Lizard King]. Some dwarves have even come into direct contact with itbut that is usually when the [Lemon King] is sleeping. In fact, the appearance of [Fire Lizard King] is just a coincidence. ??It was sleeping peacefully in the cave above, but was suddenly awakened by a rumble of the ground. It just so happened that it landed near the Warhammer tribe. ?And now that Im awake, I have to eat something. Just then, it smelled the breath of living creatures again, raised its paws, and dug a big hole. At this time, how could [King Lizard] not enjoy the food that was "sent to his door"? In the crowd, Xia En looked serious. He did not think that the appearance of this big lizard was a coincidence. The ground rumbling before is indeed just the beginning, the real danger is yet to come! At this time. The [Fierce Lizard King] couldnt wait to reach out his claws, trying to grab the dwarf below and swallow it directly into his mouth. ?Its claws are extremely large and can only fit through the large hole above. Immediately afterwards, the sharp claws of [King Lizard] hit the barrier condensed by the secret power of the furnace, making a muffled sound. After the collision, the faces of the dwarves suddenly turned pale, and their breaths became a little sluggish. Compared to the ground roar coming from deep underground, such a close attack is more difficult to resist. People can even see that the barriers in mid-air have undergone obvious deformations. Roar! Fierce Lizard King roared and swatted it down with one claw again. It will definitely eat the meat inside this "turtle shell" today! Bang! Bang! Bang! ?In each collision, the secret power barrier becomes lighter and lighter, and the texture on the surface of the furnace becomes darker and darker. The fire began to dissipate. The mood of despair gradually spread among the dwarves. Some fragile dwarves even began to sob softly. Facing the [Fire Lizard], they can still find ways to hunt it, but against the [Fire Lizard King], they have no way to deal with it. This is the gap in absolute strength. But suddenly at this moment. One of the dwarves stood up and walked out of the mysterious power barrier. ??Hope couldn''t help but widen his eyes: "Bronzebeard, what do you want to do?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 281 The special features of [Secret Power of the Void] Chapter 281 The special features of [The Secret Power of the Void] The figure walking out from the dwarves was naturally Xia En. Its just that neither the patriarch Hope nor his former friend Kull can understand what he wants to do at this time. Fight this [Fierce Lizard King]? What a joke! ? ?Only one [Fire Lizard King] will be born for every hundred [Fire Lizards], and the strength gap between the dwarves and it can hardly be made up by quantity. That''s why Hope chose this almost humiliating tactic of shrinking to fight the enemy. In fact, what Hope is doing now is nothing more than hoping to consume as much of the [Lemon King]''s physical strength as possible before the Warhammer Tribe''s furnace is destroyed. Then, after the secret power barrier is broken, more dwarf warriors can escape. Or, the [Fierce Lizard King] was so tired that he no longer wanted to chase the scattered tribesmen. ?Such a tactic is certainly very pessimistic and ugly, and is bound to kill most of the same race. But at least this will allow some tribesmen to survive and allow the Warhammer tribe to continue! It can be said that this is the best option that Hope can think of. But now, Bronzebeard actually got out from under the protection of the furnace alone? ?? Could it be that his brain not only lost his memory after the collision with the [Fire Lizard], but was directly damaged? ?Shocked and shocked, Hope finally valued this young and brave warrior of the Warhammer tribe, so he shouted loudly. Bronzebeard, come back! ?Not just him, the other dwarves also anxiously tried to dissuade him. You are no match for [Lizard King]! Bronzebeard, you will die! However, Xia En never changed his expression in response to these dissuasion that were doubtful, surprising, or incomprehensible. ??He just raised the sledgehammer in his hand that was longer than his own body, pointed at the [Fire Lizard King] above the cave, and shouted. Beasts, come and fight! For a moment, the cave fell into a brief silence. Looking at this scene, the dwarves couldn''t help but be stunned. Even though they had vaguely guessed what Bronzebeard wanted to do before, when such a scene actually appeared in front of them, it still gave the dwarves an extremely strong impact. They really didnt know whether to call this behavior heroic or reckless. However, while feeling ridiculous and unbelievable, the dwarves inevitably felt a trace of tragedy and respect in their hearts. ?Like looking at the fool challenging the windmill in some distant, made-up story. In the crowd, Kull stared blankly at the lonely dwarf. He couldn''t understand why the amnesiac Bronzebeard would do such a thing. But he couldn''t understand even more. The opportunity he had been waiting for had just arrived, and his biggest competitor was about to die. ?But why cant I feel happy at all? In fact, the reason why Xia En took action is actually very simple ?This disaster started because of him, so it should be ended by him! at the same time. The [Fierce Lizard King] above the cave also looked at Xia En, with human emotions flashing in his eyes. ?Creatures of this level have already possessed a certain degree of wisdom, and [Fire Lizard King] is no exception. ?Although it could not understand the words of the tiny dwarf below, the hostility of the other party was clearly evident from its provocative movements. ?However, [Fire Lizard King]s first reaction was not anger, but curiosity. Because in its impression, these reptile-like dwarfs should clearly be afraid of themselves to death. Sometimes just a look can scare the **** out of them. But now, there is actually a dwarf who dares to step out of their "turtle shell" and provoke himself? The mentality of [Fire Lizard King] is probably like that of a person walking on the road. When he sees an ant that usually avoids him, he suddenly stops in front of him and makes some weird actions. Compared with anger, I am definitely more surprised. After being surprised, a touch of greed gradually appeared in the huge pupils of [Lizard King]. It was awakened by the rumble of the ground and was already hungry. Furthermore, from the little bug below, [Fire Lizard King] felt a strong temptation inexplicably. Intuition tells it that if it eats this little bug, it may become much stronger! ?That is not just a physical strengthening, but more like the trajectory of your own destiny will change from now on, and you may even become the strongest fire in a thousand miles! Fire Lizard KingI dont know where this premonition comes from, but as a beast, it doesnt need to think so much. Phew! ?With a whistling sound that ripped apart the air, its huge claws descended from the sky and hit Xia En below. The size difference between a tiny dwarf and a giant lizard is probably even greater than that between a human and a windmill! Some timid dwarves couldn''t help but close their eyes, unwilling to see the tragic scene. But the next moment. What sounded in the cave was not the sound of copper beards being crushed into flesh, but a sound like gold and iron! ?Hope''s eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at the field. ??I saw Bronzebeard, who was dozens of times smaller than [Fire Lizard King], using that sledgehammer to block the sharp claws of [Fire Lizard King]. ??Although Bronzebeard''s body took a few steps back, it even plowed a deep ravine on the ground. But if you resist, you have resisted! This means that even if there is a gap in power between the two, the gap is not widened too much. ?Hope was shocked and couldn''t help but feel a little confused. When did Bronzebeards strength become so great? At this time, Xia En in the field had no extra thoughts to care about the eyes of others. The first time he fought against [Fire Lizard King], he judged the strength level of the opponent Level 5! Even Xia En did not expect that his first battle with an existence of the same level after being promoted to the fifth level would be in this unfamiliar [Furnace Secret Realm]. ??If it were in a normal state, Xia En could certainly easily crush this fifth-level [Fierce Lizard King]. After all, when he was only at the fourth level, he had already shown enough combat power to fight against the fifth level. ?But at this time, Xia En is inhabiting the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer", and the combat power he can exert is undoubtedly greatly reduced. So that, in this collision, Xia En noticed that many muscles in the body were damaged. The good news is. Xia Ens [Projection Body] can be like an adhesive, maintaining the stability of this body. ??Moreover, the closer his connection to this body becomes, the greater the power he can exert. ?However, this way of maintaining stability obviously has its limits. ??When the physical body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" was completely destroyed, Xia En could only use [Projection Body] to quickly defeat [Lizard King], and then left [The Furnace Secret Realm] in despair. Intuition told him that this was by no means the best choice. Giving up the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer" is the second best thing. Xia En just had a hunch... Once your [Projection Body] is exposed more and more times, the world''s malice from [The Furnace Secret Realm] will become more and more turbulent and direct! So, what Xia En is trying to do now is to defeat the [Fierce Lizard King] in front of him with the body of "Bronzebeard"! After a brief collision. ?Xia En''s eyes were focused, he jumped up and flew towards the knees of [Fierce Lizard King]. The hammer in his hand cut through the air, making a frightening roar, and hit the relatively fragile joints of the big lizard hard. Since time traveling to the present, Xia En has accumulated a lot of experience in fighting large prey. He clearly understood that if he wanted to kill such a big guy, he had to attack the opponent''s vital points. Joints, throat, heart Due to the height difference, [Fire Lizard King]s knees are undoubtedly the best target. ?At the same time, this will also bring Shane closer to other vital points of this behemoth. On the other hand ?Shaan felt that the eye looking down at him was very annoying to him. So, he wants this big lizard to kneel down! Roar! ! The moment the hammer hit his knee, [Lizard King] suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. ?The entire underground space trembled because of this roar, as if it triggered another miniature earthquake. But before that, Xia En also heard the sound of broken bones. ?Even though the skeleton of [Lizard King] is extremely close to steel, the hammer in Xia En''s hand has been tempered in the furnace many times. ?In terms of hardness alone, it is definitely not inferior to the bones of [Fire Lizard King]. The most important thing is that Xia En injected his [Secret Power of the Void] into it. ??Yes, after being unable to use his always invincible physical fitness, Shane has another secret weapon that he has just mastered The secret power of transformation after being promoted to the fifth level! This secret power is extremely pure and extremely powerful. ??When it used Xia En''s hammer to embed itself into the body of the [Fat Lizard King], it immediately changed beyond Xia En''s expectations. In an instant. ?This secret power divided into countless small swimming fish, galloping unscrupulously in [Fire Lizard King]''s body. Every gallop is cutting into this huge body, eroding and assimilating the secret power of the [Fierce Lizard King]! An inappropriate metaphor. The [Secret Power of the Void] injected by Xia En is like a special virus. In order to fight against this virus, [Lizard King]''s body had to stir up the secret power in his body to suppress the spread of the virus. But at the same time, this will also lead to chaos in the secret power within its body. Such chaos itself will undoubtedly greatly weaken the combat power of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] actually has such an effect? Even Xia En was surprised by such a sudden change and murmured to himself. It seems that it is more mysterious than I thought. ? No matter what, this change is ultimately a good thing for the current war situation. The knees of [Fire Lizard King] kept shaking, and there was a vague tendency to lose balance. ?The emotion in those scarlet eyes finally changed from contempt to magma-like rage. ?It never thought that it would actually be injured by such an ant! ?Moreover, the constant numbness and stiffness in the knee also proves that this does not seem to be an ordinary injury. ?That kind of gloomy and dark power even makes [Fire Lizard King] feel faintly afraid deep in his heart. Thats A power that should not belong to this world! Roar! roared again, trying to suppress the fear in his heart with anger. However, at this moment, the tiny figure had crawled along its limbs in front of him! ??Xia En will naturally not miss the perfect opportunity created by the attack just now. ?His stature is short but fast, like a ghost, walking through the scales of [Fat Lizard King] that exudes high temperature. Just a few seconds. Xia En then crossed over the large hole dug by the [Fierce Lizard King] and came to the upper underground space, facing this behemoth head-on. His next target is the eyes of [Fire Lizard King]. However, just when Xia En jumped up again, the big lizard''s frightened and angry eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cunning that only humans can have. Immediately afterwards, a tumor on the top of its head quickly heated up and expanded, bursting out with bright and blazing fire. And this ray of fire came directly towards Xia En! ?The temperature of the flame is incredibly high, as if it can burn through everything. Obviously, this was an unexpected ambush. This [Fierce Lizard King] used his extremely high level of intelligence and acting skills to deceive Xia En''s eyes and make him jump into this trap. ?However, even if this beam of light hits, it will only force Xia En into the second stage. So, although there was surprise in Xia En''s eyes, there was no fear. But at this moment. The long and loud knocking sound sounded again. A powerful and heavy secret power quickly enveloped him. Without having to think about it, Shane realized that this was the Warhammer Tribes melting pot strategy. ??Those are the dwarves below, providing him with support. This discovery surprised him. ??Xia En originally thought that as a "stowaway", he should not be able to use the secret power blessing of the Warhammer tribe. But now, what happened to him changed his perception. ?Furthermore, Xia En soon realized that the key factor that allowed him to successfully accept this secret power was the [Secret Power of the Void] he possessed. His secret power was continuously and rapidly adjusted, transforming into a state very similar to that of other dwarves. Suddenly, as if some kind of code had been deciphered, it naturally merged with it! In fact. Such a situation happened once not long ago when Xia En broke through the [World Barrier]. ??But this still brought a lot of shock to Xia En. ?This phenomenon doesnt mean that his [Void Secret Power] can imitate almost all secret powers. Not just the [Seven Seas World], but also the secret power in all [Secret Realms]? Furthermore, since it can be imitated. ?So... can it be assimilated and swallowed? All-encompassing and ever-changing. Im afraid, this is the truly terrifying part of [Secret Power of the Void]. Xia En silently buried these conjectures in his heart, because...the battle is not over yet! The shadow formed by the furnace blocks the incoming flames. ??Taking this opportunity, Xia En let out a roar from deep in his chest, burst out with all his strength, activated the war hammer in his hand, and slammed into the eyeball of [King Lizard]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Click! The moment the war hammer came into contact with the eyeball, a crisp and clear cracking sound suddenly came out. It was like a hammer hitting a flat mirror, shattering Shane''s reflection in the mirror. The broken lens flew out mixed with blood. Roar roared again and closed his eyes in pain. ?For a creature of its size, damage to its eyeballs is not really a fatal injury. But this time, it felt mortal danger again. The source is the dark secret power transmitted by the hammer! ?That kind of weird secret power is as small and annoying as the dwarf in front of you, but just as difficult and dangerous. After entering the body of [Fire Lizard King], this secret power was like turning into countless ferocious ants, constantly gnawing at its flesh, flesh, secret power, and penetrating deeper. You must know that the eyeball has a large number of nerves gathered in it. More importantly, it is too close to the brain! So close that this secret power can penetrate into its brain tissue in only ten seconds. It is really hard to imagine what would happen to me if that kind of thing happened. In normal times, [Fire Lizard King] would naturally have a lot of time to slowly wear away this secret power. But right now, there is that hateful, despicable dwarf in front of it! According to common sense, you should crush this little bug into a pulp the first time you take out your claws. But it failed to do so. ?The fire attack that he was proud of was also blocked by the dwarves'' hateful "tortoise shells". ??Moreover, the deep intuition told [Fierce Lizard King] that there was still a surging power in that seemingly weak and insignificant body. ?It is as vast as the sea, and it feels vaguely frightening. This also means that it will never be able to kill the opponent in a short period of time. So, [Lizard King] is afraid! Beasts have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In nature, when faced with a target that may harm itself, the first reaction of a wild animal is often to flee rather than fight. This is exactly the current situation. But he woke up from his deep sleep unexpectedly and wanted to eat a few dwarves as a tooth sacrifice. Who would have thought that they would hit such a hard rock and almost break its teeth? Now, since it cant eat any meat, it can escape, right? ?Thinking of this, [Lizard King] did not hesitate, and his strong body crashed directly into the rock wall next to him. With a "boom", the solid wall shattered. However, despite its huge size, it showed extraordinary agility and rolled directly into the hole. Upon seeing this, Xia En''s eyes brightened slightly, and he was not surprised but happy. He just wanted to get out of the sight of the dwarves. At this time, [The Lizard King]''s behavior was undoubtedly like a pillow given to him when he fell asleep. So, without thinking, Xia En followed [Lizard King] and broke into the underground tunnel with complex terrain. The many dwarves below could only watch this scene in silence. Did I read that correctly? [The Lizard King] actually escaped? It was defeated by Bronzebeard? Oh my God, Bronzebeard is still catching up with me! Am I dreaming? ??If someone had told them before today that any of their tribesmen could chase a [Fierce Lizard King], they would have thought it was nonsense. But now, such a situation is actually happening in front of the dwarves. How does this not shock them? ?Kul''s eyes widened in astonishment, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly. Beside him, the fire in Mary''s eyes gradually extinguished. In the face of absolute strength, their previous calculations seemed so ridiculous. ?? But Kuhl really couldnt understand why Bronzebeard suddenly became so strong? In the middle of the dwarf, Hope''s eyes flashed with a strange light. ? No matter what, having a powerful warrior like Bronzebeard in the Warhammer tribe is a great thing. It won''t be a big deal even if he has lost his memory. ??The amnesiac Bronzebeard can also lead the Warhammer tribe to become stronger! ?However, Hope and the other dwarves also have some small worries in their hearts. ?? Can Bronzebeard really come back safely after rushing out so recklessly? The answer to this question, no one knows. ! Boom! Boom! The dwarves could only hear the roar coming from the rock wall one after another, and causing violent vibrations one after another. That was the sound of Xia Ens hammer colliding with the body of [Fire Lizard King]. ?The intensity of this shaking was no weaker than the previous ground rumbling. ?Cracks continue to appear on the rock walls in the distance, making these already unstable structures once again on the verge of collapse. ?Even, not only the area where the Warhammer tribe is located, but also the territories of other dwarves and [Fire] have been affected by this. ? Many [Fire Types] were trembling and hiding in the gaps in the rock formations, hoping that they would not be affected by this battle. Even if you can''t see the scene of one person and one lizard fighting, people can still imagine how dangerous and terrifying that scene is. In the Warhammer tribe, a dwarf murmured in shock: "I still can''t believe that this was actually caused by a dwarf and [King Lizard]." ?However, these shocking sounds are fading away. At the same time, this also means that the Bronze Beard is moving away from them. I dont know how long it has been. ?This fierce battle, which was no worse than the roar of the earth, finally stopped. The brief silence returned to the underground cave, with only the lava mines in the rock walls emitting a quiet light. Ahem! ?Xia En coughed violently and coughed up a few mouthfuls of black blood, looking extremely fragile. However, in front of him, the huge [Fire Lizard King] had fallen into the broken rocks. Both of its eyes have been smashed, otherwise, there should be unbelievable fear remaining in the eyeballs. ?This big guy''s body surface is covered with wounds, and even those smooth and flat scales have become pitted. But the real fatal injury was in the brain of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] pierced directly there and dealt a fatal blow to it. Have to admit it. ??It is quite difficult for Xia En to kill this big guy without entering the [Projection Body] state. By this time, "Bronze Beard"''s body had become tattered, with countless bones broken and almost no muscle intact. ??If it weren''t for the bonding effect of [Projection Body], this body would probably fall apart immediately. In this case, Xia Ens lips curved into a smile. Although it cost a lot. But in the end, he won! Xia En raised his head and looked at the rock formations above, as if looking at the will of the [Secret Sea]. The silent smile showed his meaning. This time, he won. And next time, he will win! Unfortunately, at this moment, the [Ship Soul Power] on the panel has almost dropped to 0. This shows that Xia En is about to end his dive in the [Secret Sea]. Before officially leaving, Shane still has some necessary finishing work to do. For example, find a very hidden cave and hide in it. Another example is leaving a [Submarine Anchor Point] here. However, when Xia En left the [Submarine Anchor Point], he discovered that this [Anchor Point] seemed not to be somewhere in the underground space, but in... the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer"! ?This discovery surprised Xia En. After thinking for a while, he probably guessed the reason why this happened. [Submarine Anchor Point] is a coordinate that Xia En left in the [Furnace Secret Realm], which is also equivalent to a part of his "extraterrestrial demon". ??If this coordinate remains, it will definitely continue to pose a danger to the [Furnace Secret Realm]. So, the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely clean it up and exclude it. For this reason, [Submarine Anchor Point] needs to be camouflaged. The aboriginal body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is undoubtedly the best choice. ?Aware of this, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. He was originally worried about how to keep his status as "Bronze Beard". But now it seems that this is not a problem at all. As for how to protect this dead body from decay? When Xia En controlled this body previously, he noticed that when the "Secret Power of the Void" flows in the body of "Bronze Beard", this body maintains a strange and weak activity. ??Although the maintenance time of this activity is limited, there is obviously no problem in holding on until Shane''s next [submersible]. After doing all this, Xia En closed his eyes quietly... Submarine is over! You have explored the "Secret Realm of the Furnace" and completed a secret sea walk! Career compatibility +5%! Please choose your trophy! 1.The soil of the furnace secret realm 2.Solid war hammer 3.The body of the Lizard King In the captain''s room, Xia En opened his eyes, feeling a mysterious and mysterious feeling in his heart. ?To put it bluntly, he has a somewhat deeper understanding of the secret profession of [Secret Sea Walker]. ?This kind of understanding does not come from talking on paper, but from a practical personal practice. So it seems particularly clear and real. Anyone who practices the secret path that is the core of his or her profession will be able to go further on the secret path. ??The reason why Xia En was able to advance by leaps and bounds and continuously break through the ranks in such a short period of time is probably related to the fact that he has always been on the right path. After a moment, Xia En took a long breath and remembered all the insights in his heart. So, is this what it feels like to explore another world? Not bad! After a brief sigh of emotion, Xia En walked to the deck and decisively chose option 3. The next moment. The huge corpse of [Fire Lizard King] appeared on the empty deck. Thanks to the fact that the [Black Swan] has been strengthened several times and its size has been greatly expanded, otherwise the deck would not be able to accommodate this [Lizard King]. There was a muffled sound of "dong", and the water level of [Black Swan] sank downwards. ?The crew quickly realized this change and walked out of the cabin. Looking at the [Fat Lizard King] appearing on the deck, the crew members couldn''t help but look surprised. ??Joy was surprised: "Where did this big lizard come from?" Fei Ya also looked up and down curiously and murmured: "In my impression, there has never been such a creature in the Seven Seas." Xia En smiled slightly and said: "This is my trophy in a [secret realm]." Here, help me, help me break it up. With the help of everyone, this [Fierce Lizard King] was quickly dismantled. Ann is a good hand at doing this kind of thing, she is careful and patient. Not long after, bones, flesh and blood, lava minerals... were all placed in categories. The crew were once again surprised when they saw the unusual physiological structure in its body. After all, this is a creature that should not exist on the Seven Seas at all. ??Moreover, it doesnt look like a product of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Its like... coming from another world! ?Although Xia En had already given them enough surprises, the appearance of the [Fierce Lizard King] still made the captain''s image even more mysterious. Xia En didnt explain much, he just looked at the huge crystal heart of [Lizard King]. Lava Ore (Silver Grade) Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: The specialty ore of "The Furnace Secret Realm", the heart of "Fire Seed", contains the unique secret power of fire. When used for forging, it will have a wonderful effect and give the forged items a random status. The old furnace is on fire again. Hmm? Silver level? ?Xia En raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were different ratings for [Fire Type] in the Warhammer tribe. The ordinary [Fire Lizard] is at the bronze level, while the [Fire Lizard King] is at the silver level. It seems that the lava deposits in their bodies also follow this classification standard. But, just the silver level is the fifth level..." ?Xia En was secretly speechless, once again realizing the danger of the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm]. After reading the description, he immediately thought of Xian Ge who knew [Fire Forging Technique], so he shouted. Xian Ge, come out! Xiange, who had grown a lot bigger, flew out and responded energetically: "Yes, Captain!" ?With Xia Ens unremitting efforts, Xian Ges training is on the right track, greatly improving its obedience. ?But at this moment, as soon as Xian Ge appeared, his eyes were attracted by the group of red crystals. Captain, what is this? ?Xia Ens reaction to Xian Ge was a little surprising. Because he actually saw a strong desire in the eyes of this little dragon. You must know that although Xian Ge has a female imp personality, she is indeed a bronze dragon among ancient dragons, and she is actually proud of herself. ?Its vision is extremely high, and it rarely desires anything. But now, Xiange looked at the lava mine eagerly and said, "Can I have a taste?" I feel that if I can eat this crystal, I might be able to grow faster! ?Xia En frowned slightly and had a guess. Could it be that...[The Furnace Secret Realm] is also related to the ancient dragon in [Seven Seas World]? Thinking is thinking, Xian Ge said so, Xia En naturally handed over the lava mine. ?With a "ouch", Xinge chewed up a large piece of the huge crystal. But it was not satisfied and continued to feast. ?Just when Xian Ge was enjoying the lava mine feast. The breath coming from the sea breeze suddenly changed slightly. ?Xia En couldn''t help but squint his eyes and look into the distance. I saw a white fog appearing in front of the [Black Swan]. Suddenly, it is the [Misty Sea Area] that we have been away from for a long time! (End of this chapter) Chapter 283 The encounter between two [Diamond Star] ships Chapter 283 The encounter between two [Diamond Star] ships That is? Looking at the rolling fog on the sea not far away, Xia En raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise. ?That kind of white mist is different from ordinary mist. It is like a living creature, rising, shrinking and squirming on the sea surface, which looks quite weird. Obviously, this is the unique fog in the [Misty Sea Area] in his impression. I didnt expect to see it here again. ?These days, the [Black Swan] has been traveling towards [Liu Li Island], and its location is naturally very different from when it first encountered the [Misty Sea]. ?However, Xia En was not too surprised that [Misty Sea] appeared here. ?He has long known that the [Misty Sea Area] is not a fixed area on the sea surface, but will move with the movement of the fog. Its location changes all the time, making it difficult for ordinary ships to track it. Thats why the mystery of this sea area is highlighted even more. In fact, when Xia En entered the [Misty Sea], he only explored a very small area within it, and was far from being in contact with the deeper existences. Mr. Captain, what should we do now? At this time, Joey asked Shane: "Do you want to avoid the fog ahead?" ?According to Xia En''s original plan, their current goal is [Liu Li Island]. It seems that there is no need to enter the [Misty Sea] again and add changes to the itinerary. only ?Shaan looked back at the [Diamond Star] behind him. ?He had a vague hunch that it might not be a simple coincidence that he encountered the [Misty Sea] here. According to the "Law of Secret Power Aggregation", similar secret powers will produce unique attractions. There is naturally some connection between the two extremely similar [Diamond Star] ships. There is a high probability that it is for this reason that Xia En would "accidentally encounter" the [Misty Sea] here. It just so happened that Xia En had also wanted to solve the problem about the [Diamond Star] for a long time. Since we are here, lets just take this opportunity to see the cold ship [Diamond Star] again, maybe we can gain something new. The mist ahead is billowing and squirming, as if it is an invitation to people on the sea. And Xia En chose... to accept it happily! Soon, the [Black Swan] broke through the waves and sailed towards the white mist. at the same time. ?Xian Ge on the deck is still concentrating on enjoying this lava mine meal. Ke bangke bang ?The extremely strong red crystal was chewed and swallowed easily like candy in Xian Ge''s mouth. ?Seeing how delicious it was, Xia En couldn''t help but curiously asked: "Is it delicious?" Xiange licked his lips and said honestly: "Uh... I didn''t taste it." ?Shaan was angry and funny. He pointed to the lava mine on the deck and said, "Eat slowly, don''t be in a hurry. The rest will be given to you." Really? Hearing this, Xiange opened her eyes wide and looked at Xia En in surprise. Mr. Captain, how kind of you! With that said, Xiange actually used mimicry magic to transform into the appearance of a little girl, then threw herself into Xia En''s arms and kissed him **** the face. "ah?" ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. He didnt expect Xian Ge to express his gratitude in this way. ?Besides, Joey also let out a small exclamation and glared at Xian Ge angrily. ?However, Xian Ge obviously didn''t care about such small details at this time, and continued to eat at the lava mine in front of him. Her idea is very simple. Mr. Captain is a male, and the person she transformed into is a very cute little girl. According to human behavior and habits, this is obviously a reward! Xian Ge quickly put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and swallowed the lava mine in front of him whole. ?Her eyes were shining, and she ate faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, she had swallowed all the lava mine that was half the size of her body. ?However, in the mimic state, her belly was only slightly bulging, and it was completely impossible to tell where the lava mines had gone. Eat so much After eating all the lava ore, Xiange couldn''t help but burped, and then rubbed his eyes sleepily. Mr. Captain, I dont know why, but I suddenly feel sleepy. Want to sleep Xia En could vaguely see that Xian Ge''s body seemed to be rapidly absorbing the secret power from the lava mine he had just eaten, and was promoting some kind of strange transformation in Xian Ge. ?This is why Xian Ge wants to fall asleep. ?Like ancient dragons and some naturally powerful creatures, they often use dormancy to survive the process of transformation. Each time they wake up, they will become more powerful than before. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but become more curious. Are the lava mines and even the [Secret Furnace] really closely related to the ancient dragon clan? ??Thinking of the bronze dragon''s special [fire-forging technique] and the dwarf clan''s secret forging technique, Xia En had more speculations in his heart. But now is obviously not the time to pursue these issues in depth. ?Xia En touched Xian Ges little head and said softly: Go to sleep if you want. I will protect you. Hearing this, Xian Ges beautiful big eyes finally couldnt hold on any longer and slowly closed them. ?Whether it was intentional or not, she did not remove the mimicry magic from her body before falling into a deep sleep. ?Her body was curled up into a ball, like a sleeping kitten, and she looked much more well-behaved than usual. ?It is precisely because Xia En is by his side and on the Black Swan that Xian Ge can sleep so peacefully. ??This little guy''s body will occasionally make a series of brittle joints, and her breath will also undergo wonderful changes. This is because her body is growing, and this speed has far exceeded that of human beings. Even Xia En is a little envious of this ability to become stronger while sleeping. Joy, Ann, move her into the captains cabin. After casually giving orders to the two of them, Xia En turned his head and looked around. Just when Xian Ge fell into a deep sleep. [Black Swan] has truly entered the fog, which also means that they have officially entered the [Misty Sea]! The familiar yet unfamiliar sticky feeling clings to the surface of the skin. ??If there is one thing about [Misty Sea] that is most difficult for Xia En to adapt to, it is undoubtedly the humid and hazy weather here. Suddenly, Xia En''s heart moved slightly, and he felt a strange feeling. He turned back and looked at the [Diamond Star] behind the [Black Swan]. I saw that this ship, which was most likely coming from the [Secret Sea], started to tremble slightly. But the trembling was not from fear, but from...excitement! Even though the ship was still an empty shell without a soul of its own, Shane still sensed a strong impulse from it. ?The deck, the side of the ship, the steering wheel, the sails... every part, and even every part that makes up them, seems to be emitting an invisible roar. ?The neighing was filled with unwillingness and anger, but most of all, it was desire! It is longing to meet its other self in the mist! ??Had it not been for Xia En being bound to it and becoming the owner of the [Diamond Star]. ??I''m afraid that the ship itself will be like a wild horse, rushing away in a certain direction in the fog. "It seems that you have been waiting for this day for a long time." Shaan let go of the restraints on the [Diamond Star] a little, and thought to himself. Then, take me where you want to go. Immediately, this three-masted sailing ship from the old era opened its huge sails, drew consistent power from the turbulent wind that diffused the mist, and sailed forward indomitably. Waves and fog could not stop it, but the strong wind helped it. ?Until this moment, the [Diamond Star] seemed to show some of the elegance of the "Noah''s Ark" that was known in the past. The Black Swan followed silently, like a silent guardian knight. Early morning two days later. When the meager sunlight passes through the fog, forming a hazy scene like the "Tyndale effect" on the sea. The speed of the [Diamond Star] finally slowed down. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Shane knew very well the reason why the [Diamond Star] was slowing down. Not far away, in the hazy mist, another huge outline was slowly emerging. ?Its masts are tall, its sides are steep, and its dark wooden hull is burning with ghost-like blue fire. In the deep fog, it looks even more mysterious and strange. ??It is the other [Diamond Star] that Shane has seen before! To be honest, the two [Diamond Star] ships have extremely similar appearances. But this ship hidden in the [Misty Sea] seems to have been affected by the long years and is obviously more mysterious. ?That invisible blue will-o''-the-wisp came from nowhere, and even the material that made up the ship''s hull seemed to have been infected by invisible mysterious power and thus changed. The strange legends about it and the name "ghost ship" have added a lot of legendary color to it. In comparison, the [Diamond Star] bound by Xia En seems a bit ordinary. ?Other than the twisted internal structure and the [secret sea] deep in the cabin, it seems far less weird than the other party. Obviously, at this moment, the Diamond Star on the opposite side also discovered the arrival of "another self in the world". Hence, its speed became neither slow nor slow, and it approached cautiously and carefully. ?Two similar but different [Diamond Star] ships, like two beasts that met by chance, faced off on this foggy sea. The atmosphere gradually became dangerous and depressing. No one knows what will happen next moment. At this time. An inappropriate whistle sounded suddenly on the tense sea. ??Xia En couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the [Black Swan] beside him, with a strange expression. This whistle sound comes from its chimney! ?This was naturally not Xia Ens order, but Xiao Heis own idea. As a young boat soul, Xiao Hei certainly didnt have any bad intentions in doing this. It just wanted to say hello to the ship spirit sister of the [Diamond Star] after a long separation. ?The [Diamond Star], which was burning with faint blue fire, clearly noticed the existence of the [Black Swan]. ?It was slightly startled as it moved forward, as if it didn''t understand the relationship between the Black Swan and its "other self". ??But the sound of the whistle still broke the stalemate between the two [Diamond Star] ships. The next moment. The [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] seems to have made up its mind. Then it started to speed up, and speed up again! As the crystallization of human wisdom in the last era, the [Diamond Star] is naturally equipped with power systems other than sails. When it started to charge, the momentum could only be described as devastating. The waves began to roar and the wind began to blow. ?The old sail was condensed with roaring illusions and layers of flames. The huge shadow was crushing towards Xia En and the others. Mr. Captain! ?Seeing this scene, Joey couldn''t help but his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed. Even though she had seen many big scenes, she couldn''t remain calm when facing this overwhelming behemoth. Xia Ens brows couldnt help but frown. But at the same time, he heard the voice from the [Diamond Star]. ?So, Shane whispered to himself: "If this is what you desire, then do it!" "And I, as your captain, will naturally go with you." With that said, Xia En jumped onto the deck of the [Diamond Star] bound to him, and stood in front of the steering wheel. ??Joy opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Captain, what do you want to do?" Xia En waved his hand: "Don''t worry, I''ll be fine." Shortly afterwards, the [Diamond Star] also began to accelerate. ??Joy suddenly realized something, bit his lip and said: "I want to be with you too!" Immediately, she cast a space spell and teleported directly to Xia En. "Um?" ?Xia En looked at Joey next to him and couldn''t help but feel helpless. Nonsense. But now, Joey has caught up, and he cant send her back again. What''s more, there is no such time. Shaan simply hugged Joey into his arms with one hand and said, "Hold me tight." His other hand firmly grasped the steering wheel in front of him. The next moment. ?The [Diamond Star] also started to increase its speed at an exaggerated rate, rushing towards the ghost ship ahead without flinching. The crew members on the Black Swan stared blankly at the sea in front of them. At this time, what happened on this misty sea area will probably be something they will never forget for the rest of their lives. Two huge ships with extremely similar appearances, both exploded at their fastest speeds, carrying the surging waves, and collided with the other one in an unstoppable manner. Its like standing on both ends of a mirror. Such a collision seems destined to be earth-shattering. And, both sides suffer. The crew members hearts could not help but feel high, and there was some worry in their eyes. Its about to hit!! ?At the same time as the words fell, the majestic hulls of the two [Diamond Star] finally came into contact. However, the expected earth-shaking impact did not occur. The moment the two ships touched, the blue flame seemed to envelope both ships at the same time. The two [Diamond Star] ships overlapped in a tough and incredible manner. at the same time. ?Countless chaotic and broken lights and shadows flashed chaotically in front of Xia En''s eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the world became very different. (End of this chapter) Chapter 284 The false sea, the "Diamond Star" in his Chapter 284: The Sea of ??Falsehood, the [Diamond Star] in History A moment. ?Countless messy lights and shadows passed by Xia En''s eyes. ?There are majestic and pale icebergs standing on the sea, there are people standing on the edge of the deck with frightened faces, there are also huge waves that are constantly rising, and the sea water pouring in... Its not just a picture. Xia En also vaguely heard angry roars, violent collisions, and the exclamations and shouts of countless men and women mixed together. At the end of these sights and sounds, there was a ball of extremely dazzling white light. ?It all happened so fast. ? So that before Xia En had time to think about the meaning of these images and sounds, they had been stripped from Xia En''s perception. ?Gradually, the white light in front of Xia En''s eyes faded like a tide. What appeared in front of him was a strange cabin. Under the dim light, you can see the exquisite tapestries hanging on the walls, the shelves with many decorations, and a large and gorgeous bed. This appears to be a cabin used for accommodation. The layout of some rooms in Black Swan is very similar. Its just that the furnishing style of this cabin is relatively old and has a retro feel from the previous era. ?There are also some jewelry such as gemstones and gold, which are worth a lot at first glance and reveal a luxurious temperament. Like the room of a noble or merchant. "here it is" Xia En raised his eyebrows and felt strange. ?A second ago, he was clearly still on the bow of the [Diamond Star], and he suddenly hit the body of the ghost ship. Why did you arrive at this completely unfamiliar place in the next second? Xia En lowered his head and looked even more surprised. His clothes have also changed from the usual captain''s clothes to a set of exquisitely made and gorgeous clothes, also in the expensive aristocratic style. Shaan looked at the mirror on the wall again. ??I saw a handsome and upright aristocratic young man standing in the mirror. ?His appearance has not changed, but against the backdrop of this gorgeous costume, he looks even more elegant, with almost no flaws. ?With Xia En''s current strength, almost no one can change him into such clothes when he is not paying attention. ?Shaan quickly thought of another more reasonable explanation During the collision between the two [Diamond Star] ships, he seemed to have entered another space different from reality. At the same time, it replaces the identity of someone here. This situation is somewhat similar to the state of playing John Smith when he was promoted to the fourth level. But there are obvious differences between the two. Where is this space? What role is he playing now? ?Shaan did not think deeply about these issues for the time being, but quickly scanned the room to search for them. He has not forgotten that Joey was also on the Diamond Star earlier! ?This means that there is a high probability that she has also broken into this mysterious and strange space. Not long. ??Xia En''s eyes fell on the big bed in the center of the room. It was only now that he noticed that there was an inconspicuous bulge in the soft and smooth quilt. ?Shaan called out tentatively: "Joy?" Mr. Captain? A muffled, slightly nervous voice came from under the quilt, but Xia En was so familiar that it made him smile: "It''s me." Suddenly, the quilt on the bed was lifted off. ?However, what Shane didn''t expect was that Joey was only wearing a very thin piece of underwear. ?Just by lifting the quilt, a large amount of spring light leaks out, which is really beautiful. At this time, Xia En had to admit... ??Joy, you have definitely grown up. The tomboy-like girl from before is gone forever. ??If Joey were to dress up as a man now, Shane would be able to recognize him at a glance. Woo! ??After Joey made this action, he seemed to realize his current state, and he couldn''t help but let out a shy, small animal-like cry. ?She quickly wrapped the quilt around herself, leaving only a small white-haired head exposed, like a large caterpillar. Ship, Mr. Captain, whats going on? In order to relieve his shyness and embarrassment, Joey changed the subject: "Where are we?" She is also curious about her environment. Wheres the [Diamond Star]? What about that ghost ship in the fog? Xia En calmed down and thought: "If I guessed correctly, we should be on the [Diamond Star] now..." "What?" ??Joy''s eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, that ghost ship?" But how come there is such a new room on that ship? The [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] has been sailing alone on the sea for thousands of years. According to common sense, most of the things on it should be decayed, but whether it is the floor, walls, or various furnishings in the room, they are all too new. ??Xia En could even smell the smell from the wooden boards as if it had just been built not long ago. This is extremely unusual. ?However, the [Diamond Star] itself, as a ghost ship, is actually the biggest anomaly! Shane speculated: "I suspect that the [Diamond Star] we are on may be in a special state." Maybe not even in the real world. As for why you and I are here in this state. Probably because we act as a couple in this abnormal space. At this moment, Xia En also noticed that there were not only male living utensils in this bedroom, but also a large number of traces belonging to women. For example, long skirts and stockings scattered on the floor. Another example is the cosmetics on the cabinet. ?These traces show that the two people who originally lived in this room were not just husband and wife, but at least they were lovers. "couple" Hearing Xia Ens guess, Joeys focus was obviously a little off. ?Her little face was red and she wrapped the quilt around her tighter. She didn''t know what she was thinking in her little head. ?Shane continued: "This is just my guess." If you want to verify it, you have to go out and have a look. ??Joy nodded his little head: "Yeah, but I have to change clothes first..." Thats right. ?Shaan opened the closet next to him, picked out a set of clothes, and placed them next to the bed. Subsequently, he thoughtfully pushed open a small door inside the roomthis was the bathroom connected to the bedroom. ?On a ship, having a bedroom with a separate bathroom is actually quite a luxury. It can also explain the extraordinary identity of the original owner of this room. After waiting in the bathroom for a while, Joey''s shy voice came from outside the door. Mr. Captain, Im fine. ?Xia En opened the door and took a look, and couldn''t help being slightly startled. Most of the clothes that can be placed in the wardrobe in this room are gorgeous and complicated aristocratic costumes. ??The purple-black dress that Joey is wearing now is no exception. This long dress has a strong palace style and is extremely gorgeous. ?This is very different from the girl''s usual simple and pure dressing style, which gives her a sense of girlish innocence and a somewhat mature charm. ?The long silver-white hair poured down like mercury, and the red pupils added a mysterious atmosphere and texture. ?Shaan also didnt expect that Joey, who suddenly changed his style, would be so stunning. Even he couldn''t help but lose consciousness for a moment. Mr. Captain? ??Joy asked a little shyly: "Does it look good?" Well, its nice. Shaan said calmly: "It suits you very well." It seems like I should buy you a few more clothes of different styles. Hearing such a straightforward compliment, Joey''s pretty face blushed even harder, and she was secretly delighted. Just when the room fell into a brief silence. ! ?Two polite knocks came from outside the door. Xia En''s expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked out the door warily. He did not forget the strange situation he was in. In this strange space, who knows whether the existence encountered is a living person or some kind of mimic monster? Xia En tentatively replied: "Who?" Mr. Shane, breakfast is ready. The voice outside the door was very respectful: "Should it be brought in for you, or should you go to the restaurant to enjoy it yourself?" ?Mr Shane? He knows my name? Could it be that this space also extracted part of my memory? Xia En has heard that there is some kind of extremely realistic illusion in the Seven Seas. This illusion is combined with the memory of the person who is being cast, so it will appear flawless and it is extremely difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The current situation is somewhat similar to this. Xia En''s thoughts were up and down, and he replied: "I''ll just go to the restaurant by myself." Yes, then I wont disturb you and my wife. After saying that, the sounds outside the door gradually faded away. Mr. Captain? ??Joy also realized the seriousness of the situation, restrained his thoughts, and asked seriously. What to do now? ?Shaan thought clearly: "No matter what, we can''t hide here for the rest of our lives. We have to take a look at the world outside this door." However, dont use the title Mr. Captain when you go out. Just call me Sean, or Mr. Sean. Besides, we are playing the role of husband and wife, so its best not to reveal any flaws. ??Joy nodded heavily: "Yes! Ship...Mr. Shane!" After getting ready, Xia En pushed open the wooden door in front of him. ?At the same time as the wooden door was pushed open, the bright sunlight shone down and caught the eyes of Xia En and the two of them. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly. After two days in the [Misty Sea], seeing such sunlight felt a bit dazzling. Wait a minute...This also means that they are not in the [Misty Sea] now? Xia En looked up. ?The sky was blue and clear, not to mention the oppressive and accumulated white fog, not even a few clouds could be seen. ?Like a huge sapphire. Below the blue sky, there is the vast sea. The morning sun reflects undulations on the sea surface like fine gold foil. To be honest, this scene is so beautiful that one cant help but appreciate it. But for some reason, Xia En felt that something was wrong. ?This sea and this sky both reveal a feeling of emptiness. ?Honestly speaking, they give Xia En the feeling of being like a huge background board. It seems realistic and beautiful, but it can never be touched because... Their essence is false fakes! Mr. Shane ??Joy held Xia En''s arm and whispered: "This sea has no soul..." ?Joy possesses part of the power of the Storm Goddess and is naturally able to sense and control the power of the sea. Her words undoubtedly confirmed Xia En''s guess. In this space, I am afraid that only this [Diamond Star] is real. ?This discovery immediately gave up the idea of ????Xia En taking Joey into the sea to escape. No one knows what lies at the edge of this false sea. ??If you get lost in the sea, you may completely lose the chance to escape from this space. ??After observing the environment outside the ship''s hull, Xia En moved his gaze to the corridor beside him and the deck below. The cabin where he and Joey were located was located on the upper level of the entire ship. ?Standing at this angle, you can naturally see several sparse figures on the deck. They seemed to be the waiters and sailors on the ship. They were cleaning the deck and starting to make some preparations. In the corridor, there were several men and women also wearing aristocratic costumes, walking towards the restaurant in a hurry. ?Among them, a young man wearing a top hat noticed Xia En and the two of them, smiled and nodded in greeting. Good day, Mr. Shane and Ms. Joy. ?Joy''s body was a little stiff, and he faintly wanted to take action. From her point of view, this big ship is full of weirdness. ??The people on these ships don''t know whether they are dead or alive, and they might turn into monsters and pounce on them the next moment. ??Xia En squeezed her hand gently, indicating for her to relax, and responded with a calm expression. Good day. In his perception, these passers-by are alive and there is no danger. A rash attack may cause some kind of change. "Mr. Xia En, you and your wife have a really good relationship. Are you here for your honeymoon?" ??The young man in the top hat smiled and said, "I won''t bother you anymore." I wish you a pleasant journey. Journey? Honeymoon? ?Xia En was filled with doubts. Diamond Star, wasn''t it built as a "Noah''s Ark" to avoid the great flood? Why do you think other passengers behave like they are here to enjoy the trip? Xia En thought for a while, found a waiter next to him, and asked. Where is the final destination of this ship? ??The waiter looked at Xia En with a very strange look, but still said honestly: "Of course it is the Qingfeng Port of the Great Yan Kingdom." Diamond Star performed very well during this trial voyage and visited several kingdoms without any problems. Of course we have to return to Qingfeng Port quickly for final assembly and debugging. Trial voyage Hearing this term, Xia En suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things. Obviously, after the [Diamond Star] is manufactured, it will definitely have to go through several tests before it can be regarded as a real "Noah''s Ark." ?Before that, it was like an ordinary ship, carrying the function of transporting goods and tourists. ? And the words of this waiter also represent that the time in this space is the era before the great flood has come! Could it be that Xia En has returned to the past again? (End of this chapter) Chapter 285 The fog is coming Chapter 285 The fog is coming Am I back in time again? After listening to the waiter''s words, Xia En also had such a question in his mind. But soon, he made a judgment. No, thats not the case. ?Although the [Diamond Star] in this space is extremely new, the people on the ship look just like living humans. But this false sea and sky itself is the biggest loophole! ?In Xia En''s guess, this space, just like the original copy of the promotion ritual, is a limited "box garden world." In game terms. ?This ship [Diamond Star] is the entire scene in this space. The places farther away are all ungenerated areas that cannot be explored, and you may even encounter an air walla barrier in this space. As for the tourists and waiters on the ship, they are similar to the characters in the promotion copy and are NPCs in this scene. ?So, Xia En did not go back to the past, but just entered a historical flashback and strayed into a strange space. ?Thus giving a glimpse into a hidden corner of the past. However, although this space has many similarities with the fourth-level promotion ritual, there are also obvious differences. ?For example, Shane and Joey directly entered this space with their bodies. ??If they are fatally injured here, they might really die! It is not just a promotion failure like the promotion ritual. on the other hand. The promotion ritual at least told Xia En what his mission was, and he had a clear goal and direction. But right now, Xia En doesn''t know what he should do now. I dont know what to do to leave this space. ?After thinking for a moment, Xia En asked the waiter a few more questions and got a preliminary understanding of the information about the [Diamond Star]. According to the waiter. [Diamond Star] This trial voyage started from the Qingfeng Port in the Great Yan Kingdom, and traveled across several sea areas and passed through more than a dozen kingdoms on the southern continent. After arriving at the southernmost green port on the mainland, it returned on the same route. . At present, the [Diamond Star] has already embarked on its return journey and has entered the scope of the [Cold Sea]. The distance from the destination, Dayan Kingdom, is not too far. Lengliehaiwhat..." Xia En turned his head and looked at the calm sea. The [Cold Sea] in the old era does not seem to be as cold as after the great flood. The sea breeze blowing from the sea is only slightly cool, like a cool autumn wind, which is completely within the acceptable range. ?Judging from the appearance alone, it is difficult to imagine that this would be the cold and murderous sea area of ????later generations. Could it be that before the great flood came, the temperature of the [Cold Sea] was not as low as in later generations? ??Xia En had a guess in his mind. After all, the Great Yan Kingdom was established in the far north. If the far north is really covered with glaciers and extremely cold like in later generations. The survival of ordinary civilians has become a problem. How can a huge kingdom be established? Thinking further, could the drop in temperature in the northern seas be related to the coming of a major flood? ? ? Putting away his complicated thoughts, Shane took Joey and the waiter to leave, and walked to the restaurant on the ship. The current situation is unclear. Instead of wandering around like a headless fly or going on a direct violent rampage, it is better to let nature take its course and play your own identity. Just like in some games, you have to follow the mission process before you can trigger important plots. Not long. Under the guidance of the waiter, Xia En and the two came to the restaurant in the cabin. After walking through the door, the sight in front of them surprised the two of them. ?The hall in front of you is extremely magnificent. The color is mainly dark and dark gold, with some deep red in between. It is a luxurious style favored by nobles. ?The walls are painted with large swaths of murals, with exquisite brushwork and delicate painting style. At first glance, they are the work of everyone. A gorgeous and exquisite chandelier hangs in the center of the restaurant, and a variety of accessories are displayed throughout the hall. ?The luxury of this restaurant alone is comparable to the royal palace in [Coral City] that Xia En had seen before. After all, Xia En has seen a lot of the world in several expeditions, so he is not too surprised. ??But Joey lives on the sea and has rarely seen such luxurious halls, so he couldn''t help but let out a small exclamation. ?This low cry immediately attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant. Some peoples eyes unconsciously reveal a look of disdain. But when they saw Xia En, they suppressed their disdain. ??Mutter chatter resounded from the crowd. "I heard that His Highness Xia En''s wife is the daughter of a commoner. Now it seems that it is indeed the case..." Hush, be silent. At this point, looking at the people in the restaurant, Xia En finally realized the source of his previous strange feeling. On this ship, except for the waiters and the sailors responsible for the operation of the ship, there are all people with gorgeous clothes and high status. ?Looks like he is either a noble or a businessman. There were no ordinary civilians among them, not even one! ?This discovery made Xia En frown slightly. From a rational analysis, the [Diamond Star] is still in the trial voyage stage. Only wealthy nobles and businessmen can board the ship. It is barely understandable to participate in this trial. But the problem is... [Diamond Star] was originally positioned as the "Noah''s Ark" that left the spark of civilization to mankind. However, there were no civilians on such a ship. Instead, there are luxurious restaurants, gorgeous murals, and men and women in the upper class of society. Could it be that only nobles and businessmen are human beings? ?Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little depressed for no reason. The world is equal. But there are always some people who are more equal than others. ?But at this time, Xia En also discovered that the character he was playing seemed to be a prince of a certain kingdom. Even among the many nobles in the restaurant, he is considered to have a higher status. The respectful eyes and humble demeanor of some nobles are proof of this. After hearing the whispers of some people in the restaurant, Joey''s body was obviously a little stiff, and he wanted to lower his head to avoid the eyes filled with various emotions. In fact, Joey has always had a bit of inferiority deep down in his heart. This is related to her childhood experience. Even with Xia En''s help, most of this inferiority complex has been eliminated, and she has gradually become cheerful and sunny. ?But at this moment, the gazes of these nobles were like arrows, piercing the most vulnerable part of Joy''s heart, as if bringing her back to the days when she was despised, despised, and expelled. At this time. Joy, raise your head. ?Xia Ens gentle and powerful voice sounded in the girls ears. "Don''t pay attention to their words. You are my wife now. They are the ones who should feel inferior." "...Yes." Joey''s expression gradually changed, and she said to herself. Theres nothing to be afraid of, Joey! There was no need for her to feel inferior to these strangers. Besides, she still had Mr. Captain by her side. but wife? Hearing this title from Xia En''s mouth, the girl''s pretty face heated up slightly, as if there was a deer jumping in her heart. It is obviously a simple word, but why does it sound so joyful? ??Had it not been in the public eye, she might have even hummed with joy. ??Joy suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his pointed chin, and looked around at the people in the restaurant. After awakening the siren bloodline for so long, Joey is now very beautiful. Coupled with this gorgeous purple dress, when the cold emotions are revealed in those red eyes, it will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on people. ?Those people who were swept by her gaze couldn''t help but feel ashamed of themselves, and fell silent one by one. ?Shaan shook Joey''s little hand encouragingly and led her forward. ?Perhaps its Joeys eyes that make her look uneasy, or maybe its Xia Ens identity that makes everyone feel fearful. ??Anyway, after that, the whispers nearby stopped. ?People averted their eyes one after another and stopped criticizing him. ?At this time, Xia Ens attention was focused on other parts of the restaurant. He found that there were many exquisite foods on the restaurant table, with the styles of different kingdoms, showing the status of the upper class. Obviously, not only is there no shortage of food on the Diamond Star, but it is extremely abundant. ?However, Xia En did not plan to eat in the restaurant. This space is full of weirdness. Who knows what will happen if you eat these foods. Soon, a fat middle-aged man noticed Xia En''s arrival. ?He quickly stood up, walked to Xia En, and said hello respectfully. Good day, Your Highness Xia En. ??Xia En looked at the middle-aged man and found that he was wearing a special uniform and his identity seemed to be different from other people in the restaurant. "Who are you?" ?Seeing that Xia En didn''t recognize him, the middle-aged man didn''t take it seriously. Instead, he said with a smile. I am the captain of the Diamond Star, Luther. We met when we boarded the ship. ?Shaan raised his eyebrows and murmured: "The captain of the [Diamond Star]?" ?He looked at the fat man in front of him who had a sneer on his face and his eyes were almost squeezed into slits by the fat, and his expression couldn''t help but feel a little weird. Because the name "Diamond Star" is so resounding, it has even been widely circulated in the Seven Seas in later generations. So, in Xia En''s original expectation, the captain of this ship should be a heroic, brave and extremely capable man. ??But the Luther who appeared in front of him now undoubtedly crushed this expectation to pieces. Perceive it from the breath. Luther''s strength does not seem to be weak, perhaps much stronger than Shane''s. But his greasy face and flattering temperament completely destroyed the image of the strong man. certainly. ?Shane is not the kind of person to judge people by their appearance. Maybe Luther deliberately used this image to hide his clumsiness? He did not despise Luther because of this, but casually chatted with the captain. Soon, Sean discovered that Captain Luther was by no means a useless fool. When talking about the customs, special delicacies of each kingdom, and even famous figures on the continent, Luther was able to speak eloquently and eloquently. When facing other nobles, Luther can also find the most suitable attitude to talk to. ?This kind of long-sleeved dance method is a skill in itself! But lets be honest. ?This captain gave Xia En the feeling that he was more like a social butterfly in the upper class, rather than someone who could be entrusted with such an important task as a captain. ?Thinking of this, Xia En felt inexplicably uneasy. After all, the style of a ships crew can also be seen in the captain. Even the captain looks like this, and most of the other crew members will be a little unreliable. ??Moreover, ever since he woke up in the room, Xia En has always had an ominous premonition in his heart. It seems like something bad is about to happen! This premonition is getting stronger as time goes by. ?However, Xia En didnt know where this premonition came from. Speaking of Qingfeng Port in Dayan Kingdom, we have to mention one of their local specialties... Just when Luther was happily introducing to Shane the special delicacies at the end of the trip. Suddenly, there was an exclamation from a corner of the restaurant. Fog! Its foggy! "Um?" Hearing the exclamation, Luther walked to the window, looked out, and then whispered. Its really foggy...its strange. Judging from the weather these days, it should be sunny. Xia En''s expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head to look at Joey beside him. The two of them looked at each other and could see the uncertainty in each other''s eyes. The foggy weather may be just an accidental event for the people on the ship. But for them, it is not the same thing. Dont forget, before they entered this strange space, they were in the [Misty Sea]. Furthermore, according to rumors circulating at sea, the [Diamond Star]... was lost in a fog! ?Shaan also looked out the window. I saw that the fluctuating mist gradually formed on the sea surface, quietly wrapping the [Diamond Star] in it. ?Moreover, the white fog is getting thicker visibly to the naked eye. Causes surrounding visibility to decrease rapidly. It was as if a giant beast made of mist had swallowed the ship into its belly. ?Such a strange and turbulent fog naturally surprised some passengers on the ship. ??But Shane found that not many people were panicked about this, let alone fear. Seemingly seeing Xia En''s strange mood, Luther comforted him. Your Highness Xia En, dont worry. [Diamond Star] is the best! Luther''s tone was quite proud: "We have experienced three major storms and a tsunami before, and they all passed through it safely." ?Shaan really wanted to tell him that the fog was different this time, but even if he told him, Luther wouldn''t believe it. Xia En just reminded him softly: "It''s better to be cautious." Luther was obviously disapproving and said with a smile. Your Highness Xia En, theres really no need to worry! Its just fog, what impact can it have on the [Diamond Star]? ?However, he had just finished speaking. A muffled sound of "boom". ??There was a faint roar like an explosion from deep in the cabin of this big ship! (End of this chapter) Chapter 286 Goodbye Edward! The obsession of [Diamond Star] Chapter 286 Goodbye Edward! The obsession of [Diamond Star] "What sound?" "It seems like something exploded again?" Many people present heard the roar deep in the cabin. Unlike the mist that diffused around the ship, this seemingly man-made noise actually attracted the attention of many people. Just as Luther said - [Diamond Star] is the best! This large ship, which embodies the wisdom of this era, is like a huge fortress moving on the sea, powerful and solid. Ordinary maritime disasters cannot even scratch it. But the strongest fortresses are often breached from within! Feeling the faint vibration deep in the cabin, Luther looked a little ugly and cursed in a low voice: "It must be those untouchable little **** who have caused trouble again!" "Your Highness Xia En, I will teach them a lesson right now!" "Please continue to enjoy your breakfast. I promise, this will never happen again." After saying that, Luther led the crew around him and hurried towards the depths of the cabin. "...untouchable?" Shane keenly noticed this title from Luther''s words. He realized that his previous judgment might be wrong. Although on the surface, the passengers of the Diamond Star are all nobles and businessmen from the upper class. However, this does not mean that there are no civilians in the lower cabins. The waiters and sailors, for example, obviously came from relatively humble backgrounds. However, Luther''s assurance to Xia En, instead of reassuring him, actually made the ominous premonition in his heart stronger. Heavy fog arises out of nowhere; Vibrations deep in the cabin; And those glimpses I saw earlier... It all seems to indicate that some extremely dangerous disaster is about to befall the [Diamond Star]. Honestly. Under this strong ominous warning sign, Xia En''s first thought was to run! He is not in the state of [Projected Body] now and can commit suicide as he pleases. What''s more important is that Joey is with him! In the face of this unknown disaster, Shane can''t guarantee that he can protect Joey completely. However, the surrounding sea is a false artifact, and it is unknown what existence is hidden in the mist. This [Diamond Star] is like an isolated island in the sea, completely isolated from the world, and there is nowhere to escape even if you want to. Since you can''t escape, you can only find a way to deal with it. "This [Diamond Star] seems to be stronger than my ship." Xia En has been a captain for so long, and his vision is naturally extraordinary. He can also see that the big ship under his feet is impeccable from every angle. Even some of the hull designs are beyond the standards of this era. He touched his chin and thought to himself: "Even if there are any monsters in the fog, it will be difficult to cause real damage to the ship." "It seems that the real danger is perhaps the explosion in the cabin earlier?" Thinking of this, Xia En was ready to take a look inside the cabin of the Diamond Star. But at this moment, a gentle and handsome aristocratic young man walked towards the door of the restaurant. Beside him, there were several handsome young men and women. Such a scene of stars holding the moon could only show that the identity of this young man was not simple. Seeing this young man, Xia En couldn''t help but be startled. Because...he actually recognized the other person! Even though the young man''s face has matured a lot and his height has increased, Xia En can still recognize - This person was none other than Edward Phoenix, whom he had met once before in the City of Giant Woods! That is, the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin! However, Edward''s appearance did not change much after he became an adult, but his temperament was completely different. Now, he has lost his former tenderness and innocence, his demeanor is as gentle as jade, and his face and eyes are always smiling, making people look forward to him like a spring breeze. But underneath this smile, there is a compelling nobility, which is very different from before. The surrounding guests were all whispering about this fifth prince who had risen like a comet. Originally, among the several princes and princesses in the Kingdom of Turin, Edward was one of those with little presence. Moreover, because of his identity as an illegitimate child, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed. However, after a trip to the [City of Giant Trees], Edward unexpectedly got involved with the powerful elves. His status in the Kingdom of Turin continued to rise, and with the support of the king, he gradually became a strong contender for the throne. Some people say that it was Edward''s luck that made him turn around in one fell swoop. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that ordinary people may not be able to seize such an opportunity. Whether it is establishing trade with the elves or sparing no effort to promote steam and magic pattern technology in the country, the courage and vision of His Highness the Prince can be seen. His performance in the kingdom over the years has also been appreciated by many people and nobles. On the contrary, his brothers and sisters frequently made mistakes and were not highly regarded both inside and outside the kingdom. So gradually, there were fewer and fewer objections in the Kingdom of Turin. On the other hand, the strength of the Kingdom of Turin is also growing, becoming the most powerful country on the continent. Only then did the current scene of stars holding the moon appear. After Edward entered the restaurant, people nearby immediately gathered around him to greet him. Especially some businessmen doing cross-border business, their eyes lit up. Didn''t they spend so much effort and money on the Diamond Star just to catch up with real princes and nobles so that they could do business more easily? As for the so-called "prophecy of doom?" The businessmen just regarded it as the crazy words of some madman. In fact, there are not a few people on the Diamond Star who have this idea. For thousands of years, there have been prophets and religions advocating "the end of the world" and "catastrophes". But no disaster has finally come true. Otherwise, passengers would not view the voyage of the Diamond Star with this travel attitude. Facing the crowd''s admiration, Edward responded as he walked, concisely and politely, not letting anyone fail. But if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a subtle difference between intimacy and distance. The children of nobles obviously receive more attention than businessmen. Those with noble status and close relations with the Kingdom of Turin will receive more time and attention. These details test the social skills of a noble child the most. And Edward''s performance can only be described as "incomparably excellent". But for some reason, Xia En felt a little sad. The innocent and kind-hearted Edward in the past has finally grown up and become something he is quite unfamiliar with. Edward saw Xia En from a distance and immediately walked up with a smile on his face. "Your Highness Xia En, long time no see." Shane was stunned for a moment before he realized that Edward was greeting the identity he was playing, rather than recognizing himself. He sighed in his heart and said, "Hello, Your Highness Edward." "Huh?" At this time, Edward''s eyes fell on Joey''s face beside him, his smile suddenly froze, and he couldn''t help but let out a light sigh. The more he looked at it, the weirder his expression became, and he couldn''t help but frown, as if he was thinking about something. Joey, on the other hand, felt that the strange man''s eyes were so strange that he couldn''t help but hide behind Xia En. "Ahem." Xia En coughed twice and looked a little cold. After all, Joey is now playing the role of his wife. Isn''t it a bit rude for Edward to stare at her intently? Edward also realized his inappropriate behavior and apologized quickly. "Sorry, I just think this little girl looks so familiar, as if I''ve seen her before somewhere." Hearing this, Xia En was a little strange. Others often call Joey "ma''am", but in Edward''s mouth, why does it become "little girl?" Moreover, in his impression, Edward didn''t seem to be that kind of lecherous person. Staring at Joey in such a disrespectful manner was originally a weird thing. However, Xia En didn''t wait until he could figure out the reason for this abnormal situation. A burst of exclamations erupted outside the restaurant. "Monsters! There are monsters!" "Help!!" Xia En''s expression changed slightly and he turned to look in the direction where the exclamation came from. I saw a strange white entity suddenly appeared in the corridor. This is a monster made of mist, barely maintaining a human form, and constantly making sticky and disgusting squirming sounds. Hoarse growls and murmurs came from the depths of the mist. The moment the "fog monster" appeared, it immediately launched an attack on the nearest passengers. In the blink of an eye, several passengers were pulled into the fog by the fog monster. Immediately afterwards, a creepy chewing sound came from the depths of the mist. However, the nobles more or less brought their own bodyguards. These powerful secret travelers are not vegetarians. They have used their own methods to deal with this fog monster of unknown origin. However, the body of the fog monster is composed of mist, and after being destroyed by ordinary means, it can be reorganized in the blink of an eye. As a result, the guards could only block the attacks of the fog monsters, but could not actually kill them. The current situation is not yet time for Xia En to take action. The guard strength on the [Diamond Star] alone is enough to resist the monsters that appear in the fog. But I can see that the situation has just stabilized... Boom An extremely dull loud noise suddenly rang in everyone''s ears. Xia En''s pupils narrowed, and he judged with his rich experience that this was the sound of the [Diamond Star] hitting something. Without thinking, he took Joey''s hand and ran outside the restaurant. This strange behavior earned the confused looks of many nobles behind him. "Your Highness Xia En!?" After leaving the restaurant, Xia En looked into the fog while blasting away the fog monsters around him. Soon, he saw the outline of a huge iceberg vaguely appearing directly in front of the Diamond Star. The ice loomed in the surging mist, showing strong and cold edges. At the same time, the iceberg is still approaching. Collisions at sea are often not instantaneous, but a relatively long process. This is especially true for the behemoth [Diamond Star]. Shane felt that the deck beneath his feet began to tilt, which meant that the ship''s hull gradually lost its balance. As the water pours in, the entire ship will inevitably sink. Huge waves surged on the sea. People''s panicked screams came from the cabin and restaurant, and some people stood on the edge of the deck, staring blankly at the scene in front of them. But suddenly, a turbulent white light lit up from the field of vision, engulfing Xia En and their bodies... When you open your eyes again. What appeared in front of Xia En was a familiar yet unfamiliar cabin. "here it is?" Shane looked around and quickly judged that this was the bedroom where he had woken up before. The furnishings in the room, including the cabinet in front of me, the stockings on the floor, the soft big bed... are all the same as before. "What''s going on?" Xia En was shocked and confused: "Didn''t the [Diamond Star] sink because it hit an iceberg?" "Why am I back here?" "Mr. Captain!" At this time, Joey''s little head also emerged from under the quilt, and when she looked at the scene around her, she was also greatly shocked. "What happened?" Joey opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Is everything we experienced before just a dream?" Xia En thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, it''s not a dream." "I think the reason why we are here is because... this [Diamond Star] has undergone a reset." Joey was a little confused: "Reset?" Xia En explained: "You can understand that the time in this space goes back to when we just woke up." "What we''ve experienced before, I''m afraid it will happen again." It seemed to prove Xia En''s conjecture. Boom! Two polite knocks came from outside the door. "Mr. Shane, breakfast is ready." The waiter''s respectful voice rang out: "Should it be brought in for you, or should you go to the restaurant to enjoy it yourself?" "We can just go to the restaurant ourselves." After Xia En replied casually, his thoughts fluctuated in his heart. At this moment, after this "reset" and "retrospection", he finally vaguely guessed the truth of this strange space. This space is probably formed by the obsession of the [Diamond Star]! It was not willing to be destroyed in a heavy fog, and the people on board were not willing to die inexplicably like this. Coupled with some special factors, such a strange space was formed. Obviously, the only way to leave this space is to prevent the sinking of the [Diamond Star] and break this cycle. Only when the obsession with the [Diamond Star] is eliminated can this space truly disappear. And now that I think about it, the reason why the [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] turned into a ghost ship like a lonely ghost is precisely because of this unwilling obsession. At this time, Xia En suddenly remembered the rumors about the "Diamond Star" at sea. Most of the people who board the ghost ship will disappear quietly and never appear again. Only one person managed to return after boarding the ship, but he also became a complete madman. Could it be that they also broke into this space by mistake at that time? (End of chapter) Chapter 287 rising shadows Chapter 287 The shadow surfaced Various conjectures swirled in Xia En''s mind, giving him a sense of urgency. Obviously, although this space will be constantly reset, the number of resets is definitely limited. In other words, there is a limit to the number of resets Shane and Joey can endure. In fact, after going back in time this time, Xia En was keenly aware that something seemed to be missing from his body. Maybe it''s part of the soul, or maybe it''s part of the memory. If this process is repeated, the two of them will undoubtedly become completely lost on this ghost ship like those unlucky pirates! While Joey was getting dressed, Shane seriously thought about how to break the current situation. Judging from everything I''ve experienced before. The main cause of the sinking of the Diamond Star was the huge iceberg that seemed to appear out of thin air. As for the fog and the monsters in the fog, they are just incidental crises. If there was no fog, people might have been able to see the iceberg and avoid the impact that destroyed the ship and killed people. in other words. As long as the [Diamond Star] changes course in time and leaves the sea where the fog and icebergs are, maybe it can avoid this disaster? Xia En instinctively felt that things were definitely not that simple. But it is indeed a method worth trying. Thinking of this, Shane no longer hesitated, took the dressed Joey out of the room, and hurried towards the restaurant. At this time, Captain Luther should still be dining in the restaurant. On the way, Xia En met the young man wearing a top hat again. "Mr. Shane..." However, this time Xia En didn''t have time to say hello to him. The man had just taken off his hat and before he even finished speaking, the two of them had already walked away. Entering the restaurant, Xia En and the two once again received many curious eyes. There were also many nobles who wanted to come forward and chat with him. But Xia En ignored it and searched for Captain Luther in the crowd. But what surprised him was that when he looked around, he didn''t see the fat middle-aged captain. "Um?" Shane frowned. At this time, Joey beside him whispered: "Could it be that Captain Luther hasn''t arrived at the restaurant yet?" Only then did Xia En realize that in the last "cycle", he went to the waiter to collect information, but this time he came directly to the restaurant. There is naturally a time difference between the two. So, Xia En stood guard at the door of the restaurant, quietly waiting for Luther''s arrival. The other passengers couldn''t help but be surprised when they saw this scene, but due to Xia En''s identity, no one dared to say anything to his face. It didn''t take long. Luther led several crew members towards the restaurant. Xia En walked up directly and said straight to the point: "Captain Luther, I have something important to ask you." Luther was very surprised: "Your Highness Xia En, what are you so anxious about?" Shane patted Luther on the shoulder: "It''s too late to explain. Please take me to the cab first, and we''ll talk slowly on the way." However, the fat captain, who had previously been smiling and easy to talk to, now looked troubled. "Your Highness Xia En, it''s not that I don''t want to take you there." "But the [Diamond Star] set the rules at the beginning of the ship''s construction. No passengers can enter the cab without the order of the salary king." "If I do this, I''m afraid my position as captain will not be guaranteed..." Xia En frowned: "King Xin''s order?" Only then did he suddenly remember that according to legend, the person who ordered the construction of the [Diamond Star] was none other than his former crew member and the Salary King of the Great Yan Kingdom! Looking at Luther with a troubled face, Xia En wanted to say, let alone King Xins order, even King Xin had given him an order! But come to think of it, even if he said it, no one would believe it. Xia En had no choice but to sigh, took Luther to the side, and said seriously. "Let me tell you bluntly, this matter is really important, and may even be related to the survival of the [Diamond Star] and the entire crew." After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. Although this is a bit reckless, it is also the only possible way to convince Luther. Luther was startled, and the fat on his face trembled, but he still managed to smile. "Your Highness Xia En, please don''t scare me." "The [Diamond Star] is the best ship in the world today. How can anything possibly endanger its safety?" Xia En had already expected that Luther would not believe it, so he said with emphasis. "Don''t believe it, this is the result of my divination using special secret techniques." "Next, thick fog will appear around the [Diamond Star], and it will hit an iceberg and sink completely!" "If we don''t act quickly, everything will be over!" After hearing this, Luther finally became a little doubtful. If an ordinary passenger told him such appalling "divination results", he would definitely punch him out before he even finished hearing. But it happened that the person who said this was the distinguished "His Royal Highness Xia En." This made Luther quite confused. If what Xia En said was true, then it would definitely be okay to hide for the time being. But what if its fake? Afterwards, if King Xin punishes him... Then wouldnt all his efforts over the years be in vain? For a moment, Luther was hesitant, which made Xia En feel anxious. For such a big ship, it takes a lot of time to turn or turn around. If Luther continues to hesitate like this, he is afraid that the fog will come! At this moment, a gentle voice sounded next to him. "Captain Luther, His Highness Xia En, what''s going on?" Xia En turned around and saw that the person speaking was Edward, who had a gentle temperament. Apparently, he noticed the unusual behavior of Xia En and others, so he stepped forward to talk to them. Captain Luther hesitated for a moment, but still told Edward the "crisis" that Shane had "divined". After hearing this, Edward was quite surprised and said in shock: "Is there such a thing?" But after thinking for a moment, Edward still said: "I believe His Highness Xia En will not lie about this kind of thing." "Moreover, for such a big thing, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist." "Let''s do this, Captain Luther. His Highness Xia En and I will vouch for you together. If King Xin pursues the case afterwards, you will give us our names." Upon hearing this, Luther''s eyes lit up. "This method works." Xia En''s name alone was not enough to make Luther do such an act of disobedience. But coupled with Edward''s reputation, he immediately made up his mind. Shane unexpectedly glanced at Edward beside him, not expecting him to make such a decision. For aristocrats in the old days, reputation was a very important asset. Just after listening to his own words, he was willing to bet on his own reputation. This kind of trust made Xia En very fond of him. Just now. Edward''s eyes fell on Joey next to him again, staring blankly for a moment. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "...huh?" Edward quickly came to his senses. He scratched the back of his head and said a little confused himself. "Sorry, I just think this little girl looks so familiar, as if I''ve seen her before somewhere." Shane was in a weird mood. Does Joey really have some kind of special attraction to Edward that makes him behave like this? But right now, it''s obviously not the time to dwell on this issue. After making up his mind, Captain Luther''s actions were considered resolute. He immediately took out a mechanical device with strange magic patterns from his arms and said: "First Mate Femia! First Mate Femia!" Please reply if you hear that! Having said that, Luther still had time to explain to Xia En and the others: "This is our latest communication device, which can be used for communication in emergencies." "Diwu...diwu..." However, to Luther''s surprise. For a long time, no human voice came from the communication device, only blind sounds one after another. Hearing this made people panic for no reason. At this time, no matter how stupid Luther was, he knew something was wrong. The fat face suddenly turned serious: "Something happened!" He immediately said to the three of them: "Please follow me, I will take you to the cab." Not long after, under the leadership of Luther, the group moved towards the depths of the cabin. However, the [Diamond Star] is unusually large, and the space inside is complicated. Just traveling took a long time. Even when the four of them were halfway there... boom! Deep in the cabin, there was a faint muffled sound like an explosion. Shane was not surprised by the muffled sound and knew that there was a commotion somewhere in the cabin. But compared to a big crisis that could destroy the entire [Diamond Star], this kind of trivial matter can undoubtedly be put aside first. After hearing the muffled sound, Luther''s expression also changed slightly. These successive abnormal situations are enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. He didn''t say anything, but his pace quickened a bit. Go through a long passage. The group finally arrived at the door of the cab. "Captain Luther?" Next to the cab, a nearby sailor poked his head out of the cabin and looked at Luther in confusion. They didn''t understand why Luther looked so ugly, and why he rushed here in a hurry with two young nobles? To be honest, the experience on the Diamond Star was the happiest time for these sailors. Ordinary ships, when faced with wind and waves, have to worry about whether they will sink or whether they will be attacked by some underwater monsters. But on the [Diamond Star] there are no such worries at all. You only need to clean the house every day and maintain the equipment. Even these chores can be left to those bully little brats. Over time, the attitude of the sailors began to relax. Therefore, even though Luther''s attitude was very serious, they still didn''t take it seriously. Luther roared at the sailors like a furious, fat lion: "Where is Femia?" The sailors rarely saw Captain Luther showing such a posture, and they couldn''t help but feel a little afraid. Finally, a brave sailor said: "The first mate should be in the bridge, right?" "It seems like they never came out." Luther immediately walked to the door of the cab and banged the door hard. "Femia, open the door for me! Open the door quickly!" However, there was no movement in the cab. The door of this room was also closed tightly in silence, revealing a strong ominous meaning. Xia En smelled the smell of the air, and his pupils couldn''t help but shrink. "It smells like blood!" After hearing his reminder, Luther didn''t hesitate any longer, and his fat body hit the door like a cannonball. No matter how unreliable Luther seems, his strength is always real. With just one collision, the door made of steel was knocked open. I saw the corpses of many sailors lying in the spacious cab. Judging from the uniforms they wore, it seemed that among them there were the second and third officers of the [Diamond Star]. The crewmen''s eyes widened, as if they could not rest in death. In the center of the cab, a man was leaning against the huge steering wheel. He also had many injuries on his body, and the blood flowing out from his body gathered into a pool of blood, but the expression on his face was unexpectedly calm. "Femia, what''s going on!" Luther stared at the man and asked, "Did you do these...?" Femia, the first mate of the Diamond Star, just looked at Luther coldly and let out a somewhat crazy laugh. "Hehehe..." "I will die, you will die, we...all will die!" "Captain Luther, let''s hit the road together!" Seeing this scene, Xia En also felt huge waves in his heart. He originally thought that the collision between the Diamond Star and the iceberg was just an accident. But now it seems that this is not the case. It seems that there is a certain force or organization that wants to destroy the Diamond Star and everyone on board, dragging them all into the deep sea of ??despair. And this first officer named "Femia" is a member of this force. It was not until this "cycle" that their whereabouts were gradually revealed, like shadows emerging from the water. "Fog, foggy!" Hearing the exclamations of the sailors outside the bridge, Xia En''s heart sank to the bottom, knowing that everything was already too late. Now, even if you gain control of the [Diamond Star], you will still lose your way due to the boundless fog around it. It was probably a matter of time before we hit that iceberg. Sure enough. What happened next was just as Xia En expected. The fog monster appears and everyone resists. A huge crash sounded, and seawater poured into the hull. Then, endless white light engulfed Shane and Joey... After a moment of trance. Xia En opened his eyes again, and he still saw the familiar room in front of him. His thoughts were a little confused, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses, and he sighed softly. "Failed..." Xia En analyzed the reasons for his failure. "However, the reason why it failed this time was because it took too much time to persuade Luther to make up his mind." If we compress the process and speed it up, we might be able to succeed. With this idea in mind, Shane started trying again. This time, he did not wait foolishly for Luther to arrive. He found Edward first, and then found Captain Luther with Edward, thus saving a lot of time. When he arrived at the bridge, First Officer Femia had just killed all the sailors here. Xia En and others easily subdued him. But just when Luther was about to steer the [Diamond Star] to turn, he encountered another fatal problem... (End of chapter) Chapter 288 Speedrun copy? The real cause! Chapter 288: Speed ????dungeon? The real cause! In the cab, in front of the steering wheel. Captain Luther''s face turned pale after repeated operations, and he said with a trembling face full of fat. "S-The steering system is malfunctioning!" Hearing this, Xia En''s face darkened and he quickly asked: "What''s going on?" Luther explained: "It seems that there is something wrong with the steering rudder deep in the cabin. It will take at least two or three hours to repair it." "Two or three hours?" Xia En''s face became more and more gloomy. After such a long time, by the time it was repaired, the [Diamond Star] might have hit the iceberg. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the dull explosion sound that he had ignored before. Thinking about it now, the timing of the explosion was extremely weird. It was just before the fog dispersed, which was also the time when the murder in the cab occurred. Could it be that that explosion caused the steering system of the Diamond Star to malfunction? The more Xia En thought about it, the more it seemed possible. Since this group of guys with unknown origins intends to drag the [Diamond Star] into the deep sea, they must be extremely well prepared. What''s in the cab is just one of Femia''s trump cards. Now, knowing that this "cycle" has failed, Xia En simply relaxes his mind and wants to learn more information about the Diamond Star before it sinks. He pointed at Femia, who had committed suicide, and asked Luther: "What is the origin of this first mate?" At this time, Luther completely believed in Shane''s "prophecy", so he naturally answered all questions and knew everything, honestly speaking. "Femia was originally just an ordinary little sailor on the Diamond Star, but after the first trial voyage, he was appreciated by the salary king and was promoted to the first mate of the ship." "Before this, Femia has always behaved very honestly and fulfilled his duties as first officer responsibly, but he didn''t expect..." "A common sailor..." Xia En''s eyes narrowed, remembering the word "untouchable" that Luther had insulted before, and asked seriously again. "Are there civilians from various kingdoms in the lower cabin?" Luther was stunned for a moment, not understanding why His Highness Xia En would suddenly mention this, but in the face of his impressive power, he nodded quickly. "Yes, it is also King Xin''s request to accommodate some civilians." "Many civilians are also responsible for the work of sailors and handymen..." At this point, Luther himself came to his senses and murmured: "Your Highness Xia En, you mean..." "I''m not sure either." Xia En said this, but in his heart he already regarded these civilians as objects of suspicion. And he also noticed that both Femia and the civilians on the ship seemed to have some connection with King Xin? Just as Shane was thinking, exclamations came from outside the cab. "Fog, foggy!" Then, the familiar fog rose again. The familiar plot is happening again. Not long after, the dazzling white light submerged Xia En and the two like a tide... Only this time. The time covered in white light seemed a bit long. When Xia En opened his eyes in the familiar room, he felt his brain was dizzy and his thinking was slightly sluggish. "here it is" It took Xia En nearly half a minute to recall everything he had encountered before. His brows furrowed deeply. Obviously, this is a very bad sign. His previous conjecture came true. As the number of "loops" increased, the influence of this obsession space on him continued to deepen. Suddenly, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Even he has this symptom, so Joey... "...Your Highness?" At this time, a soft question came from the big bed. The girl opened the quilt, stretched lazily, and looked at Xia En with nostalgia, regardless of the spring light leaking from her body. "Joy?!" Hearing this title, Xia En''s scalp went numb. In his impression, Joey had never called him in this tone. Xia En quickly turned around and looked. Joey looked charming, like a freshly moistened flower, which made Xia En even more worried. "Joy? What''s wrong with you Joey?" "...Joy?" The girl was slightly startled, frowned and said to herself: "What a familiar name...is this my name?" Her expression was very tangled, and there was a bit of pain in her eyebrows, and she kept muttering: "Who am I?" "Joy...I''m Joey?" About a minute later, Joey suddenly woke up. After seeing his posture at this time, he couldn''t help but let out a low cry and got back into the quilt again. Although he enjoyed the beautiful scenery, Xia En was not happy at all. Joy''s performance shows that her assimilation with this space is deepening, so much so that she begins to forget her original identity and assumes the role she plays. One can imagine. If Joey couldn''t remember his name, he might really get lost in this space. The pirates who came into contact with the ghost ship before always disappeared like this. Shane''s soul and will have been polished several times and have long been as solid as a rock. Therefore, he can persist in more "cycles" and can serve as an anchor for Joey to help her confirm her identity. But if Xia En has doubts about his identity, then the two of them are not far from being truly lost. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression became serious and he made up his mind. "It seems that some extraordinary measures must be used." In this cycle. Shane did not go to find Edward or Captain Luther, but directly followed the route in his memory and headed to the cab of the [Diamond Star]. At this point in time, the dull explosion had not yet sounded, and the murder in the cab had not yet occurred. This means that the [Diamond Star] still has the possibility of turning around. The only problem is how to control the [Diamond Star]. In this regard, Xia En already had a bold idea in his mind. Along the way, the crew members were all surprised when they saw Xia En rushing towards the cab and wanted to stop him. No matter what, the rules of the [Diamond Star] are always here. Even Captain Luther hesitated when faced with Shane''s request, let alone these uninformed ordinary crew members. "Sir, what do you want to do?" "Your Highness Xia En, please stop!" Amidst a burst of exclamations, Xia En''s steps did not stop at all, and he rushed forward with Joey. All the sailors who stood in front of him were knocked unconscious by his palm. With Xia En''s current strength and body control, he can naturally do this easily. In fact, the fastest way is to kill all the way, but even in this constantly circulating space, Xia En doesn''t want to do that. His figure shuttles through the shadows from time to time, at an incredibly fast speed. Such reckless and crude behavior naturally caused an uproar on the Diamond Star. "Enemy attack!!" With a long cry, more and more sailors are coming in this direction. Among them, the proportion of secret travelers is also increasing rapidly. On this [Diamond Star], there are an extremely large number of high-level mystics, otherwise they would not be able to compete head-on with the fog monsters in the fog. If they hadn''t hit an iceberg in the fog, the fog monster might not have been able to do anything to them. In just a moment, Xia En noticed several extremely threatening presences in the aura coming from nearby. Xia En narrowed his eyes and sped up his movements. What he wants is to temporarily seize control of the [Diamond Star], not to become an enemy of everyone on the ship. Fortunately, at this time, he was not far away from the cab. With a "bang", Xia En knocked open the cab door. Facing the stunned sailors in the room who didn''t know what was going on, he pointed at the first mate Femia and said. "Femia, something happened to you!" "It''s not too late to surrender now." Femia: "???" No matter how smart the first officer was, he never expected such a change, and he didn''t understand how Xia En found out that he had evil intentions. The previous commotion outside the door, to his ears, was undoubtedly directed at him! Now that he had been exposed, Femia simply stopped pretending, sneered, and attacked the nearest second officer. "Femia, what are you doing!" "Take action to subdue him!" Femia looked ferocious: "Even if I die, I will take you with me!" Immediately, the two groups of people used their own methods and fought together. While the two sides were fighting, Xia En and Joey quietly came to the rudder of the Diamond Star. To be honest, Shane was no stranger to this rudder. Because on the later projected ship [Diamond Star], he had personally touched it countless times. However, the rudder in front of me is obviously brand new, and it also has a strange atmosphere. Although there is a field of [Great Dark Sky] surrounding it, protecting Shane and Joey from the melee. But Xia En knew that there was not much time left for him. Not to mention the several secret travelers who rushed to the cabin quickly, the time before the dull explosion was already very close. Whether we can break the cycle may depend on this attempt! So Xia En no longer hesitated and firmly grasped the steering wheel in front of him. Seeing this scene, the sailors in the cab looked strangely and even found it a little funny. What does this richly dressed young man want to do? Want to control the [Diamond Star] by just one person? Doesn''t he even have this bit of common sense? For the average captain, just controlling the steering wheel is not enough to quickly turn a large ship like the Diamond Star. It also needs to be matched with the adjustment of the sail angle, the assistance of the corner sail and the side sail. It can be said that this is a complex task that requires the cooperation of many sailors. Otherwise, why would the [Diamond Star] bring so many sailors? But Xia En is different! With [Captain''s Majesty], he can control a ship with just one person! Of course, for unfamiliar ships, Xia En''s [Captain''s Prestige] will not take effect. But don''t forget, before entering this strange space, Xia En was already the owner of the projected [Diamond Star]! An inseparable connection has been established between them! That''s why Xia En made this seemingly absurd attempt. Of course, Xia En is also betting that this big ship will still regard him as the captain! The next moment. boom! ! There was a loud bang in my mind. Xia En''s will quickly spread to all parts of the ship''s hull, like a raging tsunami, and the stormy waves swept invisibly. However, it is different from the extremely smooth feeling when controlling the [Black Swan]. When in contact with various components within the [Diamond Star], Xia En could feel obvious resistance, like gears that had not been lubricated for a long time. It''s like... they are silently rejecting their own contact. But even so, two breaths later. Shane''s will is still carried out in every corner of the ship. At this moment, [Diamond Star] seemed to have become an extension of his body. Even in the very deep place of the ship, Xia En could vaguely sense a sleeping consciousness. Come to think of it, that is the ship spirit of the [Diamond Star]! But at this time, Xia En had no time to communicate with the ship spirit. The moment he took control of the ship, he immediately began to turn the ship''s bow and move in the opposite direction. Because the U-turn happened so quickly, the huge hull of the [Diamond Star] tilted quite a bit, as if it was drifting at sea. Fortunately, this ship is, after all, the crystallization of the wisdom of this era. After a brief tilt, balance was quickly restored. But the passengers on the boat couldn''t help but stagger around, and some fell to the ground, causing a huge commotion. The crew members in the cab looked at Xia En in disbelief. Just one person can make a ship like the Diamond Star make such an incredible turn. Before today, they would not have believed that this would happen. Xia En couldn''t help but let out a long breath. He didn''t care about the reactions of other people on the ship. Since the [Diamond Star] had deviated from its original trajectory, it should have escaped the ending of hitting an iceberg, right? Soon, a group of people rushed to the cab first. The leaders were clearly Edward and Captain Luther. Edward looked at Xia En in surprise: "Your Highness Xia En, what happened?" "Why are you doing this?" After experiencing the exciting "speed pass" just now, Xia En was also a little tired and too lazy to explain to these NPCs. But that''s it. Bang! The muffled sound like an explosion came from deep inside the cabin again. Upon hearing this voice, Xia En''s expression suddenly changed and he realized a possibility. "No way?" Not long after, the raging white light came again... After the white light. It took Xia En longer to wake up from his hazy state again. He frowned, his heart full of confusion: "What''s going on?" "Why did the white light still appear after I obviously changed my direction to avoid the fog and icebergs?" After thinking for a moment, Xia En came up with an incredible guess. "Could it be that the iceberg was not what really caused the destruction of the [Diamond Star]?" This conjecture made Xia En''s face look extremely ugly. Because this means that all his previous efforts may have been in vain. But if the culprit isnt an iceberg, what could it be? Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind. "White light! By the way, that white light!" (End of chapter) Chapter 289 The Instigator, Truth and Edward Chapter 289 The initiator, the truth and Edward In the previous "cycles", Xia En always thought that the white light that flooded his vision and body was a sign of the "reset" of this space. It''s like the cutscene when you die in a game. But now that I think about it carefully, I find that the white light seems to be composed of a violent secret force. Moreover, each time the white light appears, there are subtle differences. In the first cycle, the white light appeared the last, and it was not until the [Diamond Star] was mostly submerged that it belatedly emerged. After several cycles, the time when the white light appears has been advanced. Sometimes not long after hitting the iceberg, white light appears. This was obviously influenced by Operation Shane. "Wait, isn''t that actually white light, but... a man-made explosion?" "Or, some kind of powerful spell?" Xia En frowned and thought to himself: "And those people who want to destroy the [Diamond Star] should have noticed my actions." "They were worried that something might change later, so they advanced their plans?" Although this was just Shane''s guess, the information collected during these "loops" made him firm up his idea. It was true that Xia En had mistaken the goal of breaking the game before. The "recyclable" process itself is not without value. "So, if you want to prevent the sinking of the [Diamond Star], the key is to find the source of this big explosion..." Shane immediately thought of the muffled sound coming from the cabin. If you find the place where the muffled sound came from, you might be able to follow the clues and catch the culprit who caused the sinking of the [Diamond Star]. After clarifying his thoughts, Xia En first spent some time waking up the confused Joey and helping her understand her identity. Then, he put his hand on the wall inside the room. In the last "loop," Shane had rediscovered his connection to the ship. And with the "reset" of time, this connection has not been broken. Xia En guessed that this was because the bond between him and the [Diamond Star] originated from the depths of his soul, and naturally could not be easily erased. Touching the wall of the cabin, Shane could vaguely perceive some scenes inside the ship. On a large ship like the Diamond Star, the space inside the cabin is intricate. If I had to find my own way, I don''t know how much time would be wasted. This is because on the [Diamond Star], Xia En''s control is not perfect enough, so he needs to use this stupid method. If he were on the Black Swan, his perception would be all over the entire ship, and he could even determine where each wave hits the hull. Not long after. Xia En''s eyes were fixed on the lower cabin, an area near the power room. There is no other reason. An unusual number of people gathered in this area. Among them were many mysterious people with good auras, who seemed to be holding a secret gathering. Just such a gathering itself seems very suspicious. Especially when the [Diamond Star] is about to encounter disaster, it is difficult not to doubt whether these people gathered for any special purpose. After discovering the suspicious target, Shane did not hesitate and took Joey directly towards the lower cabin. Xia En, who had made contact with the Diamond Star, had a clear view of the surrounding routes as if he had turned on the full map. Less than five minutes. Xia En and the two came to the vicinity of the gathering area. The lower cabin of the [Diamond Star] is very spacious. In addition to the crew''s accommodation, there is also a spacious storage hall. Dont forget, this ship was originally designed to escape the floods that swept the world. Being able to provide the daily necessities of so many crew members, the storage hall of the [Diamond Star] is naturally incredibly large. At this time, the location of this secret gathering was in one of the empty storage halls. Tap tap tap Before Xia En entered the hall, there was a sound of footsteps beside him. Walking from the corridor were two young sailors. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, still just a teenager. However, they were sallow and thin, and their clothes were in tatters, carrying a lot of dirt and dust. There were wounds that looked like whip marks on their unkempt faces. Xia En''s eyes narrowed slightly and he guessed the identities of these two teenagers. Obviously, they are what Luther called "the little **** among the untouchables." They are the civilians living on the lower level of the ship. However, judging from the appearance of the two teenagers, it is obvious that the living conditions of the civilians in the lower cabin are not very good. Not only did they not have enough food and water, but they also seemed to have suffered a certain degree of abuse. But to be honest, Shane wasn''t surprised by this. In the Age of Discovery, the lives of lower-level sailors were indeed not too precious, let alone protecting their human rights. On those ships that transported slaves, in order to carry a few more slaves, the bottom cabin was almost packed to capacity, and the living space of each slave was only a little bigger. They can only **** and pee in place, and only give them the minimum amount of food. The death rate during transportation is appallingly high. Although the [Diamond Star] was not a slave ship, the oppression of civilians by nobles obviously existed. However, understanding is understanding. Thinking of the gorgeous and beautiful decoration in the upper cabin that can even be described as "luxury", and the rich and noble people coming and going in the restaurant... Compare this to the shabby and deserted appearance of the lower cabin. Xia En inevitably felt some unspeakable feelings in his heart. With chaotic thoughts flashing through his mind, Shane held Joey in his arms and took a step towards the shadow in the corner. In an instant, shadows rippled like water waves, gently wrapping their bodies and blocking outsiders'' sight. "Um?" The taller of the two teenagers turned around and looked around, questioningly. "Did you hear anything?" The other boy shook his head: "No." The tall boy thought for a moment and said, "I must have heard wrong." "But...have you really thought about it? Once we walk through this door, there is really no way back for us." "I''ve thought about it!" The young man who was asked looked serious, with resentment and hatred in his eyes: "Why should those nobles decide who can get on this ship?" "Why can they eat so much and eat so much while we can only eat black bread and drink dirty water from smelly ditches?" "Anyway, the flood is coming soon, and my father and sister won''t survive. So I''ll just take all those old men to the sea and feed them to the sharks!" "If you want to die, let''s die together!" At the end of the sentence, the young man''s tone was full of murderous intent. Obviously, this kind of resentment is not accumulated in one day, but accumulated over a long period of time. Hearing these words, Xia En, who was in the shadow, looked suddenly enlightened. At this moment, he finally understood who it was that wanted to destroy the [Diamond Star] civilian! It was these common people whom the nobles looked down upon, who decided to drag this [Diamond Star], together with the noble gentlemen on board, into the deep sea! From the young man''s words, it was not difficult to hear Xia En. Unlike the nobles who generally do not believe in the "world-destroying flood", the lower-class servants and commoners are extremely confident in the arrival of the great flood. Its easy to understand if you think about it carefully. The more miserable people are and the more hopeless they are, the more they long for the end. This is not only the expectation of self-destruction, but also the hope that a disaster will destroy the original order and give them a chance to climb up. Come to think of it, these civilians paid a huge price to board this "Noah''s Ark." At the same time, their family members were unable to board the shipsuch as the boys father and sister. They became abandoned people. This will undoubtedly make many people feel resentful towards the nobles. Coupled with the huge gap between the upper and lower cabins of the [Diamond Star], the contrast between luxury and shabbyness is bound to cause dissatisfaction among many people. If someone were to add fuel to the flames and fan the flames, it''s hard to imagine what these civilians would do. It seemed to confirm Xia En''s conjecture. In the empty storage hall, a burst of shouting suddenly broke out. The two teenagers looked at each other and said, "The pastor must be preparing to hold a ceremony." "Let''s go in quickly!" After that, the two walked into the storage hall. Using the disguise of shadows, Shane and Joey follow. As soon as they walked into the hall, they saw at least dozens of sailors standing here, looking in one direction with slightly fanatical eyes. In the middle of them is a high platform protruding from the ground. An old man with white hair and a mask stood on the high platform, seeming to be saying something to the sailors. This should be what the teenagers call "Mr. Pastor." This is more than just like a cult gathering, it is clearly the scene of a cult gathering! "My Lord saw that man''s sins on earth were extremely great, so he announced that he would use floods to destroy all living creatures of flesh and blood on the earth and in the world. Every living thing will die!" Its a cleansing of our souls and a cleansing of the world. The pastor said in an old and gentle voice: "However, those greedy and selfish nobles built this ship of sin in an attempt to avoid the washing of the flood." "How selfish and how blasphemous!" "We cannot bear it, so we must resist!" To be honest, Xia En was not very interested in what this unknown magician said. But under the encouragement of the masked old man''s encouraging tone, Xia En could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the hall had changed. People are getting more and more excited and fanatical. Shane suspected that the old man had used some special secret technique while speaking to make the sailors almost blindly trust him. Suddenly, the young man who had just arrived asked. "Mr. Pastor, can we really enter the Lord''s kingdom after we die?" "certainly." The old man vowed: "If you sacrifice your life for my Lord, you will naturally be accepted by the warm and bright Kingdom of God." He said this very seriously, and he obviously believed it to be true. Also, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. But after hearing these words, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. The kingdom of light? Could it be... Xia En''s eyes fell on everyone''s feet. On the floor, there was a huge magic circle, which almost included the entire storage hall. It is said to be a magic array, but it feels more like a large altar. For some of the runes, Xia En could recognize them at a glance and murmured in his heart. "Hui Jiao?!" Yes, based on Xia En''s experience of spending many days in the [Land of Glory], it can be seen that these runes are inextricably linked to the Hui Sect. This means that this "Mr. Pastor" actually believes in the Billions of Glory Sect? Shane''s first reaction was disbelief. To be honest, during this period of getting along, Xia En developed a good impression of Hui Jiao. But right now In the dim cabin, an old man wearing a strange mask softly recited strange spells. The faint firelight reflected the extreme fanaticism on people''s faces. The whole scene is filled with a strong sense of evil. It is very different from the light and purification mentioned by the old people. Immediately afterwards, the magic circle under people''s feet began to light up, licking their ankles and calves, and clinging to them like living creatures. The meaning of those runes is sacrifice! It is obvious that the old man is ready to sacrifice the lives of everyone here in exchange for a miracle. Of course, Xia En would not watch this happen. Without hesitation, he emerged from the shadows and knocked the masked old man unconscious with one punch. "Who?" Everyone looked at him in astonishment. After seeing the noble attire, strong hostility suddenly appeared in people''s eyes. "It''s those criminal nobles!" "Kill him! Kill him!" Although Xia En sympathized with the civilians, his words were meaningless in front of this group of crazy guys. He struck directly and knocked them to the ground. This battle can only be described as devastating. Just after everyone lost the ability to move, a familiar figure walked at the door of the hall. Edward looked at him strangely and asked, "Your Highness Xia En? What happened?" "Edward? Why are you here?" Shane frowned. At this moment, he finally suddenly realized where the strange feeling that he had ignored before came from. Every time he "cycles", he seems to meet the prince named "Edward". The first two "loops" are understandable. After all, the first time was a coincidence, and the second time it was Xia En who took the initiative to find him. But in the third cycle, when Shane was preparing for the speed pass, he actually saw Edward in the cab. This seems a little weird. As for this encounter, it was even more incredible. How could Edward appear in this storage hall by such a coincidence and happen to bump into the gathering? There is no such coincidence in the world! Thinking of this, Xia En looked solemn and asked Edward. "Who are you anyway?" "who I am?" Edward was stunned for a moment, then smiled. After this smile, it was as if an invisible mask was peeled off his face, allowing him to return to his true self. Immediately afterwards, Edward took out a single-sided spectacle from his coat pocket and put it on slowly. There is an indescribable elegance in his movements. When he actually put on his glasses, his whole demeanor changed. Edward bowed to Xia En gracefully and said with a gentle smile: "You can call me... [Undertaker]." (End of chapter) Chapter 290 Father and daughter meet! The inside story of [Truth Society]! Chapter 290 Father and daughter meet! The inside story of [Truth Society]! Looking at the man with a single-sided glasses and a strange temperament in front of him, Xia En''s heart was shocked and set off a huge wave. Edward is the [Undertaker]! ? In fact, from the first meeting, Xia En felt that Edward''s facial features were somewhat familiar. But I dont know where this familiarity comes from. It wasn''t until he put on this single-sided gold-rimmed glasses that Xia En completely connected him with the [Undertaker]/[Observer] he had met in the promotion ritual. This was something Shane never envisioned. So, was the Edward he met in the past [City of Giant Woods] an ordinary prince? Or is it that [The Undertaker] has been looking at him with playful eyes from that moment on? Even Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill after thinking about this. "It seems that you have seen me, more than once?" Edward, or [The Undertaker], after seeing Shane''s reaction, raised a smile on his lips and continued. "But the strange thing is that I don''t have any impression of the name ''Shane''..." Ever since Edward revealed his identity, time in this space seemed to have entered a stagnant state. Whether it was the white light that lit up in the magic circle or the fanatic believers who fell to the ground and moaned softly, they all became strangely still. No one can interrupt the conversation between the two of them. Therefore, Edward''s words were even more slow and he spoke while thinking. "Then there are only two possibilities." "One possibility is that what you see is me who has not yet ''awakened''." "Another possibility is that the time you met me is after I left the anchor on this ship." "Or is it both?" Xia En chewed Edward''s words carefully, his expression became more and more solemn, and he thought to himself. "The un''awakened'' me? You mean the ignorant Edward at that time?" "Could it be that Edward became [The Undertaker] one day after that?" "What does the ''anchor'' on this ship mean?" He had some vague guesses. But just these sporadic words are not enough to deduce the whole truth of the matter. What''s more, Xia Enke still remembers that this mysterious [Undertaker] comes from the [Truth Society]! The relationship between the two parties is that of enemies, not friends! Is it possible that the other party will take action against him? And in this strange, constantly resetting space, Xia En had no confidence at all in defeating this mysterious [Undertaker]. Even so, Xia En silently mobilized the secret power in his body, ready to fight to the death at any time. But that''s it. A confused voice sounded beside the two of them. "Father?" Beside Xia En, Joey opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the man in front of him. The moment he saw Joey, Edward''s always calm and elegant expression finally changed dramatically. He frowned, stared at Joey''s face, and murmured, "Who are you?" "Why do you make me feel...so familiar?" "But in my memory, this is the first time I see you?" At this moment, Xia En suddenly remembered that Joey was born in a large stronghold of the [Truth Society]. And her father is also one of the researchers wearing single-sided glasses! During the last promotion ritual, Xia En had tested the name "Diana" to [Undertaker], but unfortunately he did not receive a definite answer. At this time, Xia En did not expect that Joey and [The Undertaker] would meet under such circumstances. "Father, don''t you recognize me?" Joey looked at [The Undertaker] with equally complicated eyes. There is nostalgia, confusion, and incomprehension... Although she failed to recognize Edward''s identity at first, now, the face in front of her overlapped with the gentle face in her memory, and they were no longer distinguishable from each other. However, what makes Joey feel a little sad is that his father... doesn''t seem to remember him anymore. She couldn''t help but ask: "Have you even forgotten your mother?" Edward said blankly: "Father...you mean, I am your father?" "But who is your mother?" "Diana." At this time, Xia En took a step forward and took the initiative to speak: "Her mother''s name is Diana, and she is a rare genius of the Siren clan in a thousand years." "Decades ago, she was abducted by forces suspected of being the [Truth Society] and gave birth to a child with one of the researchers." "Do you have even the slightest impression of these past events?" Upon hearing this name, Edward''s body trembled visibly, and he couldn''t help but murmur to himself. "Diana...Diana...Diana...Diana...Diana..." Every time he repeated the name, the expression on his face and the tone of his voice changed. Sometimes empty, sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, sometimes angry. He looks like he is crying, he looks like he is laughing, he looks like he is crazy. At this moment, Edward felt less like a human being and more like a malfunctioning radio or a computer program that had crashed and garbled characters. Shane protected Joey behind him and looked at Edward nervously and warily. In this world, those who lose their minds and fall into madness are particularly terrifying. The secret power in their bodies will go wild, causing distortion of body and soul. At this time, the Edward in front of him was obviously crazy! Even if he suddenly turned into a deformed monster and attacked him, Xia En would not be surprised at all. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen. Just when Edward''s mind was about to collapse, his eyes suddenly lit up with a silvery white light. Countless data flowed through his eyes like a waterfall. [An abnormal situation with serial number G23 was detected, and the abnormality type is unknown...] [Personality reboot in progress...] A voice as cold as a machine sounded directly from Edward''s body. But the next moment. Drip dirt... drip dirt... A shrill alarm sounded. At the same time, Edward''s eyes also turned scarlet, as if they were about to bleed. His expression was extremely ferocious, as if he was using his willpower to fight against some kind of existence. [Restart aborted! Restart aborted! warn! Serial number G23 lost control! Serial number G23 lost control! Please clear it in time...] Suddenly, the alarm sound stopped abruptly, and two lines of **** tears flowed from Edward''s eyes, sliding down his cheeks. When he opened his eyes again, the man''s temperament changed again, appearing peaceful and stable. Whether it is the crazy state just now or the elegant and cold appearance before, it is completely different. After opening his eyes, Edward''s eyes naturally fell on Joey, and then he showed a gentle smile. There was an indescribable sadness and rich apology in his eyes. "Joy, thank you for all your hard work over the years." Hearing this, Joey''s tears could no longer stop and flowed down like broken pearls. At this moment, Edward''s demeanor and tone were exactly the same as her memories when she was young. Obviously, at this moment, Edward turned back into Joey''s father, instead of appearing in front of the two of them as a "mourner" or "observer". Edward gently hugged Joy and patted her back, with a look of love on his face. "I didn''t expect you to have grown so big." "You and your mother are really alike..." Faced with this touching reunion between father and daughter, Xia En''s mood was a little strange. From the tense situation before, it suddenly turned into such a warm atmosphere. It was strange that I was not used to it. Moreover, why do you feel like you are meeting your father-in-law? At the same time, Xia En had more doubts in his heart. Not only was Edward such a huge change before and after, but also the information revealed by that cold mechanical voice was very intriguing. After a brief warm session, Edward turned to look at Shane and spoke frankly. "This personality slice can only last for a short time. If you have anything to ask, please ask as soon as possible." Hearing this, Xia En asked directly: "What does personality slicing mean?" Edward replied: "The person I am in this [Diamond Star] obsession is not the real me, but just a program that condenses my memory." "When this program is activated, I will wake up as [The Undertaker]." "In the [Truth Society], this form is called personality slicing." "Not only in such a sandwiched space, but also in promotion rituals, and even in certain periods of history, personality slices of different members of the [Truth Society] may appear." Xia En''s heart was awe-inspiring, and he immediately thought of Edward, who claimed to be the "Observer" in the promotion ritual. If the [Truth Society] really has such means, wouldnt the past history have been polluted by them long ago? No wonder Augustine called it the worm that eats history. No wonder the shadow of the Truth Society can be found in many major historical events. As if he saw what Xia En was thinking, Edward shook his head. "This technology is far from mature, and it still has extremely strict requirements." "For example, the soul of the person being sliced ??needs to be extra strong." "For another example, there can only be one sliced ??personality in the same era. If there are multiple personalities, they will collapse quickly." Even the president of the [Truth Society] doesnt know the reason behind it. "So far, there are only five people in the [Truth Society] who can do this, and one of them even betrayed the [Truth Society]." At this point, Edward smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren''t for this reason, I would probably have died long ago, right?" Xia En frowned slightly: "How do you say this?" Edward said: "You should have noticed that the me now is very different from the previous [Undertaker]." "It can even be said that we don''t feel like the same person." Shane nodded: "That''s true." There is a big gap not only between [Undertaker] and the current Edward, but also between [Undertaker] and [Observer]. Like twin brothers with the same appearance but different personalities. "The reason is simple." "Human personality is essentially determined by memory." "For the same reason, you only need to delete or add memories from different personality slices to create different personalities." Edward said softly while looking at his daughter. "Back then, my acquaintance with Diana was originally just a task assigned to me by my superiors." "But later on, I really fell in love with Diana, so I disobeyed the [Truth Society]''s orders and wanted to rescue their mother and daughter." "It''s a pity that the success fell short in the end. In desperation, I could only let Joey escape from the underground sewer, while on Diana, I cast a forbidden teleportation spell..." Hearing this, Joey''s eyes suddenly widened: "You mean, mother is still alive?!" "I don''t know either." Edward shook his head and said sadly: "The situation at that time was already desperate. I could only cast the spell in a hurry, so that I was not sure whether the teleportation spell was successful or not." "Later, I researched that the end coordinate of that forbidden spell is an extremely distant [secret realm]." "Perhaps, that is a distant place that we will never be able to reach in our lifetime." Joey''s bright eyes dimmed slightly, but she still said seriously. "Mother must still be alive!" "No matter where that [secret realm] is, as long as you live, you will see us again one day!" Edward touched the top of his daughter''s head and murmured: "Maybe one day..." Soon, Edward continued the topic: "In the end, I was caught by my colleagues from the [Truth Society]." "Because of the special nature of my soul, they did not kill me, but punished and reformed me." "The memories of Diana and Joey were deleted from my mind, and many cold and dangerous experiences were added." "That''s where [The Undertaker''s] personality comes from." Edward''s words were light and airy, but Shane suddenly felt heavy. "Punishment and reform" were just two words in his mouth, but thinking about the methods of the [Truth Society], it is not difficult to imagine what a tragic experience it would be. "But memory is something that always leaves some traces whenever you walk through it." "I took advantage of this and set up such a backup personality in my mind. It will only be activated when I meet Joey and Diana." At this time, Xia En thought of Edward''s words that "time is running out", and his expression changed slightly. "Since it is a backup personality, of course it cannot be maintained for too long." "Moreover, as time goes by, maybe my body will sense it and even discover Joey''s existence. That is definitely not a good thing." "So, I also added a self-destruct program to this personality slice." Seeing the changes in Shane and Joey''s expressions, Edward smiled indifferently. "I would have died with no regrets just to see Joey safe and sound." As he said that, Edward looked at Xia En, with satisfaction in his eyes: "Besides, I also saw the man my daughter chose." "I have seen everything you did in the crack space before." "Be decisive and brave, be responsible and responsible, and at the same time have good intentions and have your own principles and bottom line." "Xia En, you are very good and excellent. I feel relieved to leave Joey to you." (End of chapter) Chapter 291 Conquer the [Diamond Star]! Ghost ship in reflection! Chapter 291: Conquer the [Diamond Star]! Ghost ship in reflection! After hearing what Edward said, Shane wanted to say that he had misunderstood and that he was just Joey''s captain. But then I thought about it, had Edward really misunderstood? With a certain determination silently made in his heart, Xia En said seriously to Edward: "I will do it." After receiving the affirmative answer, Edward showed a satisfied smile. Joey on the side blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Xia En again. But at this time, Xia En still had many doubts in his heart. Now, there happened to be someone who could answer these questions, so he simply asked again. "What is going on here? And why did [Diamond Star] turn into a ghost ship?" Edward explained: "This space is located between reality and the [Secret Sea], and between reality and illusion." "Its formation is a rare coincidence." "Back then, this group of civilians who were bewitched without knowing it, at the cost of their own lives, summoned the gaze of the Lord of the Hundreds of Lights." "And it just so happens that the [Diamond Star] is in this weird fog." "Two different secret powers collided with each other, causing indescribable changes." "In addition, the ship spirit of the [Diamond Star] has been initially born. Its strong unwillingness turned into obsession, and finally gradually evolved into this strange space." Only when obsession is eliminated can it truly escape the prison of the past. As he spoke, Edward gently stroked the wall of the cabin and said regretfully: "It really should be unwilling to give up." A ship that was supposed to be the Novas Ark of salvation in the Great Flood not only consumed a lot of precious materials, but also condensed the crystallization of the wisdom of this era. "In the end, it was not because of the disasters sent by heaven, nor because of the gods'' plans." "It was just due to the conspiracy of a group of bewitched people that it sank so easilyeven before the great flood came." "How can it be willing to do so?" Hearing this, Xia En nodded unconsciously. The [Diamond Star] is like an army that has been recuperating and gaining popularity for many years. However, it died before it even set foot on the battlefield. Or die from the conflicts and disputes within human beings. It is not difficult to understand why [Diamond Star] would have such a strong obsession. At the same time, Shane also noticed an important point from Edward''s words. "Mist?" "Is there anything else special about this foggy sea area?" In the past, Xia En only regarded the [Misty Sea Area] as a mysterious place formed by the special geographical environment of the Seven Seas. But according to Edward, it is somewhat unexpected that these mists can actually react with the power of the Lord of Billions of Glory. "Looking at your performance, this shouldn''t be your first time in the [Misty Sea], right?" Edward asked: "In the later [Misty Sea], have you ever seen that kind of monster made of fog?" Shane thought and shook his head: "No." He didn''t notice this small detail at first, thinking that the "fog monster" rushing out of the fog was just a random event. But now that I thought about it, I suddenly realized it was weird. "That''s the damage from that explosion." Edward said seriously: "Deep in this fog, there is actually a secret hidden that can shake the whole world." "But my memory about this secret seems to have been deleted by the [Truth Society], so I can''t tell you." "The secret that shakes the whole world..." Xia En was secretly speechless, feeling that as his strength grew, he came into contact with more and more secrets. Suddenly, Xia En remembered something again and asked. "To be honest, I came to the [Misty Sea] this time to look for the [Diamond Star] because I once obtained a ship very similar to it in the [Cold Sea]." "It''s just like...a replica of the [Diamond Star]. What''s going on?" Hearing this, Edward also frowned: "A replica of [Diamond Star]?" "Is that ship similar to the projection in [Secret Sea]?" Shane: "Yes! I think so too." "If I''m not wrong, that''s probably the remedial measures King Xin took after the [Diamond Star] sank." "It may also be the back-up plan that King Xin has prepared a long time ago." Edward''s tone was uncertain for the first time. "After all, with that king''s skills and character, how could he let the [Diamond Star] sink so easily?" "There is even a possibility that the real [Diamond Star] is just a bait released by King Xin." "What he really has high hopes for is the [Diamond Star] that was copied through the [Secret Sea]." Edward''s conjecture obviously has some conspiracy theory implications. But after Xia En thought about it carefully, he couldn''t rule out this possibility. Yan Yan may be a sunny and kind-hearted boy, but as a Xin Wang who has been tempered by blood and fire, he will never be a soft-hearted person. After being crowned as king, there are many things that cannot be controlled by oneself. Xia En sighed softly in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he asked a question. "Hui Jiao, what role did you play in the [Diamond Star] incident?" The reason why he didn''t ask this question before was mainly because he had a good impression of the Hui Cult believers in [The Land of Glory]. It seems that not all Hui Cult believers are fanatical believers who want to allow foreign gods to invade. But seeing the behavior of the masked old man, Xia En inevitably had some strange emotions. "Don''t worry, things are not what you think." Edward said softly: "In the old days, the Hui Sect was indeed a good orthodox religion. It was known as a bright and holy religion, and acted in an upright and upright manner. Only in this way can it be respected by many kingdoms." "Of course, after a sect expands, there will definitely be some scum and scum." "But overall, Huijiao has done a good job." Xia En raised his eyebrows and said frankly: "What I''m worried about is actually the Lord of the Billions of Lights that Hui Sect believes in." At this time, Edward asked Shane a question. "Do you think the Lord of Billions of Glory is an evil **** or a good god?" Shane thought for a moment and replied, "I don''t know." Judging from the reputation of Huijiao in the old days, they have indeed done a lot of good things, maintained social order, and provided material assistance and spiritual sustenance to the poor. But the Lord of Billions of Glory is also an out-and-out alien god. Perhaps His gift has already been marked with a price on its back. "In my opinion," Edward continued, "the gods are neither good nor evil." "In other words, they have no such concept and consciousness at all." "For example, the local gods born in our world are themselves sublimated from intelligent races, and they may still retain a few likes and dislikes of their own." "But how can those outer gods far away in the [Secret Sea], or the ancient gods sleeping in the deep sea, care about what humans think?" Edward said earnestly: "Many times, it is not the gods who need human faith, but the human beings who need gods to believe in." After hearing these words, Xia En''s thoughts fluctuated, silently chewing and digesting the information in his words. Shane doesn''t entirely agree with this view, but there are always points of truth in different viewpoints. Finally, Edward concluded the incident. "The old man in the mask did not receive any instructions from the gods, but only did such a thing out of his own obsession." "In his eyes, the gods may be just a tool to obtain power." "If you blindly pursue the gods, you will only become a slave of the gods in the end. The same is true for pursuing the truth." At this point, Edward''s expression suddenly darkened. "Actually, many years ago, the [Truth Society] was not what it is now..." Drip-Drip- [The self-destruct program is starting...] At this moment, the strange mechanical sound sounded from Edward''s body again. His eyes once again lit up with a faint red light. "Father" Seeing this scene, Joey couldn''t help but call out in a low voice, but her expression was strong and she pursed her lips to prevent tears from falling. Edward gently stroked his daughter''s silver and smooth hair and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you." "[The Truth Society] has been preparing two big plans over the years." "A plan is related to Diana and Joey. The purpose is probably to steal the authority of the gods." "I have personally participated in this plan, so I know some inside information." Xia En looked solemn. Just as he suspected, the research on Joey was indeed related to the Storm Goddess! What made him even more curious was the other of the two plans. A plan that is on par with "stealing the power of gods" is not simple no matter how you think about it. Unfortunately, Edward continued: "As for the other plan, I only remember sporadic fragments, which should be closely related to my other personalities." "The reason why this personality slice of mine stays in this space seems to be to collect certain information for this plan." After saying these words, Edward''s body faded into a translucent shape at a speed visible to the naked eye. Until then, he did not forget to warn. "Finally, remember to be careful about my body." "His memory has been thoroughly cleaned, and he is a completely different individual from me!" "Joy, please live well..." Before he finished speaking, the translucent body collapsed completely and disappeared into the air. Tears welled up in Joey''s eyes. The next moment. Cracks suddenly appeared in the scene around Xia En and the two of them. Immediately afterwards, the cracks continued to expand and spread, like a huge mirror that suddenly shattered! Click! Shane''s consciousness sank into darkness. Darkness like this didn''t feel strange to him at all, let alone the slightest fear. Compared with the emptiness and darkness that was so easy to get lost in during the fifth-level promotion ritual, this gentle darkness even made Xia En feel at ease. Soon, in the darkness, Shane heard a cry that could not be described in words. It is not a language, but more like a catharsis and expression of emotions. The conveying of this emotion reminded Xia En of the time when the spirit of the ship [Black Swan] had just sprouted. At that time, Xiao Hei always liked to use this method to express his love and closeness clumsily and bluntly. Xia En gathered his thoughts and slowly approached the direction where his emotions came from. Soon, he sensed a confused and hazy consciousness, and felt the emotions released by the other party - Unwillingness to fail to fulfill one''s mission; Resentment against the incompetence of the captain and crew; fear of one''s own destruction; Confused about people weaving conspiracies Many negative emotions were like a big net trapping the still immature ship soul in the darkness. It''s like an extremely strong "wall of the heart." Not only to protect yourself, but also to isolate all good intentions. Only then did Xia En understand why it was extremely difficult for Xiao Hei to communicate with the [Diamond Star], and why he would say that the ship''s spirit was not aloof, but just shy. If we say, Xiao Hei looks like a lively and energetic girl with wheat-colored skin. Being favored by Xia En, she is always full of energy and energy. Then, the ship spirit of the [Diamond Star] is like the so-called "Landmine Girl." He has a closed heart, dark behavior, and a ghostly appearance, and he will jump into its minefield if he is not careful. But Shane knew it wasn''t its fault. This is the fault of those with evil intentions. The Diamond Star is innocent. Thinking of this, Xia En moved closer and directly opened his arms to embrace the ship soul consciousness in front of him. He solemnly promised: "I will protect you and prevent what happened back then from happening again." "You will never be destroyed until I die." "I will take you to complete the unfinished mission." "When the flood comes again, you will become a veritable Noah''s Ark..." The confused ship soul trembled violently. Immediately, the invisible "wall of the heart" collapsed. Under the huge waves and the howling wind. Standing on the deck of the Diamond Star, Shane opened his eyes. At this moment, two extremely similar huge ships have merged into one, irrespective of each other. It''s like the union of body and shadow, and like the confused soul finally returning to its home. call- The huge sails of the [Diamond Star] flapped, and the sails were condensed with roaring illusions and layers of flames, hunting in the strong wind. It was as if he was making his first cry after sleeping for many years! From this moment on, the [Diamond Star] regains its own ship soul! Immediately, something happened that Xia En could not believe. The world in front of me suddenly changed. The sky became gloomy, with strange shadow-like masses floating in the sky. There was no wind around, but there was a cold flow on the skin. From time to time, weird turbulence traces can be seen nearby, like bubbles. Xia En lowered his head and looked down. What he saw reflected in the distorted mirror-like water below was not the appearance of the Diamond Star, but a ship that he was extremely familiar with Black Swan! And at this time, the [Black Swan] is riding the wind and waves forward. In an instant, Xia En understood everything. [Diamond Star] entered the reflection of [Black Swan]! (End of chapter) Chapter 292 【Ghost Ship】【Liu Li Island】 Chapter 292 [Ghost Ship] [Liu Li Island] Xia En didn''t wait to digest the scene before him. On the panel, several lines of information washed past like a waterfall. [The obsession of "Diamond Star" is eliminated! [The status of "Diamond Star" changes from incomplete to complete! Attributes are improved in all aspects! [The ship spirit of the "Diamond Star" recognizes you as its master! [Comprehensive quality: 12 17! ["Diamond Star" Unlocked Features: Ghost Ship!

[It is willing to hide in the reflection of the "Black Swan" to protect you. [When it is in the reflection state, the attributes of the "Black Swan" are moderately enhanced, and the existence of the "Diamond Star" cannot be detected by conventional means. at the same time. Xia En could feel very clearly that a huge secret power was pouring into his body, constantly transforming his limbs and bones, filling every strand of flesh and blood. It''s exactly the effect of [Captain''s Majesty]. As the status of the [Diamond Star] changed from "incomplete" to "complete", the attributes of this large ship once again underwent earth-shaking changes. Before this, although the various numerical values ????of the [Diamond Star] were also very powerful, they were still far behind the "Noah''s Ark" that Shane expected. It was not until this time that the two ships merged into one, and after making up for the crucial flaws, they achieved a completely new transformation. Under [Captain''s Majesty]''s feedback, Xia En''s overall quality soared directly from 12 to 17! You know, the fifth-level promotion ritual only brought him an improvement from 9.5 to 12. -Although that is because the fifth-level ritual focuses more on the mastery of secret power and the tempering of spiritual will, it is enough to show that the transformation of [Diamond Star] is exaggerated. This really gave Xia En a big surprise. "call" Xia En took a deep breath and used his powerful mental power to control the secret power in his body to calm down. At the same time, his whole body was shaking at a strange frequency - this was a special physical training method that could help Shane quickly adapt to his stronger body. It is only with his current mental strength and meticulous control that he can do this. While digesting this power, Xia En''s eyes fell on the two newly unlocked characteristics of [Diamond Star]. [Ghost Ship] This feature needs no further explanation, just one word - powerful! Pure power! Shane had seen the ghost fire around the Diamond Star before and thought it was some kind of illusion or flashy special effects. But now it seems that the flame contains some unique secret power, and the reason for its formation is also extremely unique. The flame is generated by the reaction of the three secret powers of the Lord of Radiance, Mist, and [Secret Sea]. No wonder it has so many strange effects. Moreover, there is another feature of [Ghost Ship] that makes Xia En particularly satisfied. Cool! Just imagine, when other ships besieged the Black Swan, suddenly a ghost ship with will-o''-the-wisps came menacingly, scaring the courage of many people. The ridiculous idea that Shane once fantasized about "driving a ghost ship on the sea" seems to have come true now? However, after seeing the description of the feature [Mirror Reflection], Xia En couldn''t help but have a strange expression. What does it mean not to show one''s face on the sea? [Diamond Star] actually has such a little temper? Just thinking about it seriously, Xia En felt a little excusable. Due to the legend of the "Diamond Star" ghost ship, its past deeds have not been forgotten by ships on the Seven Seas, but are often mentioned on their own initiative. To sailors and captains at sea, it is just casual conversation. But for the [Diamond Star], it was a series of **** scars. It doesn''t want to show up at sea, probably because it doesn''t want others to point fingers at it, so it chooses to hide in the reflection of the [Black Swan]. Thinking of this, [Diamond Star] made Xia En feel more like a landmine girl with a gloomy personality. "The ship spirits of different ships indeed have different personalities..." Shane grinned and gently touched the mast next to him. But whether it''s the Vitality Girl or the Mine Girl, they are all his ships, and Xia En likes them all. While stroking the mast, Xia En used his talent of "Communicating Ship Souls" and whispered to the "Diamond Star". "Now, you are mine." "It''s a pleasure to be with you on the rest of the journey." Um. After a slightly long wait, Xia En heard a response from the ship spirit of the Diamond Star. And, even so, its consciousness is only fleeting, and it hides immediately after responding. Xia En felt like a little black cat with fried fur, hiding in the corner and watching him warily. So strong on guard... Xia En''s mood became increasingly weird, but when he thought about what happened to the Diamond Star, he felt a little pity in his heart. Moreover, at the moment when his consciousness touched it, Xia En also sensed a hint of closeness hidden deep under its guarded appearance. So, Xia En simply said nonchalantly. "We will be close partners from now on. There is no need to be so polite, and there is no need to be afraid of me." "Am I still going to hurt you?" "By the way, the name [Diamond Star] is too hard to pronounce. How about calling you...Little Diamond? Little Stone? Little Diamond?" When the [Diamond Star], who had been silent before, heard this, he finally couldn''t hold it in any longer and whispered in a very low voice. [Good... unpleasant...] Change The way it expresses chill is still clumsy, not as natural and smooth as [Black Swan]. Xia En''s mouth curled up, and he guessed that [Diamond Star] would react, and then said the nickname he had already thought of. "Xiaoxing! What a great name!" "Our future journey is the sea of ??stars!" [Diamond Star] obviously feels that this name is not very good, but it is better than those messy names, so I can only accept it with a little regret. After that, Xiaoxing''s consciousness hid again, no matter what Xia En said, he would not respond. Xia En was not in a hurry about this either. If you want to deepen the relationship and change Xiaoxing''s character, of course it won''t happen in a day or two. Fortunately, they will have a lot of time together in the future. Soon, with a thought, Xia En broke away from the [Diamond Star] hidden in the reflection and returned to the deck of the [Black Swan]. Of course Joey was standing beside him unharmed. "Captain Shane!" "Captain, what happened just now?" As soon as the two appeared on the deck, Feiya and Tracy immediately gathered around them, their faces full of concern. An Ye, who was wearing heavy armor, took a step forward, and Xia En seemed to be able to see the worry in his eyes through the armor. Even Vivian, who had always been as lazy as a salted fish, floated out and blinked curiously. No wonder the crew was so worried. The scene that just happened was really too thrilling. The two [Diamond Star] charges without reservation, the ghostly will-o''-the-wisps rising into the sky, the turbulent waves rising on the sea... Seeing that heroic scene, even if the crew members had confidence in Shane, they could not help but doubt that he would be shattered to pieces in such a collision. What happened next surprised them even more. Two large ships with similar appearance and different temperaments actually merged into one after the collision. Shane and Joey also disappeared. If Feiya hadn''t calmly persuaded the others, the crew might have boarded the ghost ship. Fortunately, at this time, the captain appeared intact again. Moreover, according to Feiya''s keen perception, Mr. Captain''s aura seems to have become much stronger? Instead, the huge [Diamond Star] suddenly disappeared? All I can say is that he truly deserves to be Captain Shane! Fei Ya sighed in her heart. He has not forgotten the first time he met Shane in the bar. At that time, he had not yet overcome the hidden dangers of his bloodline, and was forced to drink alcohol to relieve his desire to drink blood. The two of them were not acquainted. But at that time, Fei Ya was still slightly stronger than Xia En. But now, his rank is still at the third level, but Captain Xia En is already a fifth-level powerhouse, and most likely not an ordinary fifth level! This can''t be blamed on Feiya. According to the standards of ordinary mystics, he has been promoted very quickly. But the sublimated bloodline of the Vampire Clan is, after all, the bloodline of the immortal species, and the improvement of strength depends on the accumulation of time. Another point is... Shane''s promotion is so fast! It is simply the kind that has never been seen before or since. There is probably no other one in the entire Qihai Sea. Fei Ya would be lying if he said he had no regrets in his heart, but his mentality was very peaceful. On the one hand, Feiya, as a steam mechanic and a priest, didn''t like fighting. Dealing with the steam equipment on the ship every day made him feel very fulfilled. On the other hand, he still has a long lifespan, and maybe one day in the future, he will be able to have a fun spar with Captain Shane again. Xia En didn''t know what Fei Ya was thinking, so he just said to everyone: "I''m fine." "But how long has it been since we boarded the Diamond Star?" Fei Ya replied: "It should be less than five minutes." Xia En sighed secretly: "It''s not even five minutes..." His experience in the obsession space just now felt extremely long, but in reality the time was very short. No wonder all the pirates who boarded the ghost ship disappeared. I''m afraid they don''t know how many times they have experienced "resets" in the obsession space, and finally got completely lost in it. Honestly. This boarding was an extremely dangerous one among Xia En''s many adventures. If Joey hadn''t happened to be by his side, he might have really fallen for the Undertaker. It can only be said that Xia En''s luck is pretty good. Fortunately, the rewards of this adventure are also very rich. Not only was the overall quality improved, but more importantly, a conversation with Edward allowed Xia En to understand some secrets in the past and even the inside story of the [Truth Society]. The unknown is the scariest thing. Now, the mysterious veil of the [Truth Society] has finally been lifted by Xia En. and Shane turned his head and glanced at Joey beside him. The silver-haired girl''s eyes were slightly red, but her mood had stabilized, and she felt a sense of relief. Obviously, meeting Edward allowed Joy to untie some of her past knots and also gave her a longer-term goal. This is undoubtedly a great thing. "Mr. Captain?" Joey first looked at Xia En doubtfully, and then suddenly smiled slyly, as bright and moving as a flower blooming. "My father said that he would feel relieved to leave me to Mr. Captain..." Xia En couldn''t help but blush, and he didn''t know what to say. However, Joey didn''t embarrass Shane and asked quickly. "Mr. Captain, where are we going next?" Shane looked into the depths of the fog. Everything you see is a vast white mist, as if the whole world has disappeared on the other side of the fog, and you can''t see any further places. Although he learned from Edward that there was a big secret in this [Misty Sea] that could shake the world. But the top priority now is still the coming world-destroying flood. If the world is submerged, no matter how great the secret is, it will be meaningless. Xia En had no choice but to temporarily suppress the idea of ??continuing to explore and said, "Let''s go!" "Target...[Liu Li Island]!" Five days later. Near the sea area where [Liuli Island] is located. Five large ships quietly sailed out of the port and gathered in an area dozens of nautical miles away from [Liu Li Island]. The ships have different flags and different clan emblems. The same thing is that their colors are often red and black. Among the crew members on the deck, there are often a few pale and handsome people. If anyone with sensitive senses stayed near these ships, they would probably be able to smell an extremely strong smell of blood. Wow! Accompanied by the sound of splashing water. The body of a young girl who had just lost her life was thrown into the sea by an expressionless sailor. Strangely, no blood seeped out after the body entered the water. The girl''s skin looked even more pale and dry in the waves. In less than a moment, the body tied with heavy objects sank into the sea. "Hey, this carcass of blood has been sucked so cleanly, I''m afraid even ordinary alienated sea beasts won''t be willing to eat it, right?" Another sailor smiled and complained to the companion who dumped the body: "This little girl is quite beautiful. It would be nice if you let me feel good first." The expressionless companion said coldly: "Captain Simon only absorbs the blood of virgins." "What a choice!" The sailor complained: "We can''t even drink the blood of ordinary people if we want to!" "But speaking of which, what exactly does Captain Simon want to do when he goes to sea this time?" (End of chapter) Chapter 293 Bloody hunt! The shock of [River of Blood] Chapter 293 Bloody Hunt! The shock of [River of Blood] "have no idea." The expressionless Sailor Gamba looked like a hard and smelly stone, and said with a straight face. "Ask Captain Simon if you have the ability." Hearing this, Milot, the frivolous sailor, was not angry. He just grinned and said, "How can I have the courage?" "But it seems that we are not the only ship leaving the port this time." "[Bloodfang] [Dark Baron] [Black Rose] [Whale] plus our ship [Wincheston]..." "Five large ships, comparable to the third-class federal battleships, left the port almost at the same time. This matter is not simple no matter how you look at it!" Milot clapped his fingers and said nonchalantly: "This driving is simply comparable to the **** hunt a few years ago." "However, there is no ship near [Liu Li Island] these days. Is it worth Captain Simon and the others'' trouble?" At this time, a name suddenly popped out of the taciturn Gangba''s mouth. "[Black Swan]." Hearing the name, Milot was stunned, and then fell into a long silence. This is not only because of the reputation this ship has gained on the sea, but also because the two of them have a deep connection with the [Black Swan]. In fact, they were once crew members of the Black Swan. However, when the old captain passed away, the two of them left the [Black Swan], and then wandered all the way, hanging out on many ships, and escaping from death several times. I have encountered brutal naval battles and seen terrifying ocean beasts. Finally, the two of them wandered to [Liu Li Island], and were taken under the command of the captain of the [Winchester] and transformed into low-level vampires. This experience can be called magnificent for little people like them. The two of them thought that they would never hear news about the [Black Swan] in their lifetime. But who would have thought that the rumors related to the [Black Swan] have never stopped! First, the famous [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was destroyed because of the destruction of the [Black Swan], and many islands launched a wanted search for the [Black Swan]. Then the originally majestic "Blood Duke" was sunk by the "Black Swan", and the bounty on it soared again. Originally, the Black Swan disappeared for a period of time after this, which made the two of them feel that the ship''s adventure was finally over. But they never expected... Not long after, there were rumors that the [Black Swan] appeared in the [Sea of ??Annihilation] and uprooted the entire [City of Giant Trees]! Such a remarkable achievement, not to mention the small [Black Swan] in their minds, even the [Wincheston] under their feet could not achieve it. A few days ago, Gamba heard that the [Black Swan] was speeding towards [Liu Li Island]. Only then did he connect the strange movements of the vampire ship with it. "You mean... these five large ships went to sea to deal with the [Black Swan]?" Milot''s eyes widened, still in disbelief. "This, this is not serious, is it? How much hatred is this?" "The wanted notice has been issued for such a long time, how can it still make the vampire hold such a grudge?" "Why? Just because of the destruction of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]?" After such a long time of wandering, Milot is no longer the sailor who used to hang out in a small place like [Duke Island]. After going out so far, not to mention how much his strength has increased, at least his vision is naturally different from what it used to be. Therefore, Milot clearly understood That [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is a rare existence around [Duke Island]. But in the central sea area like [Liu Li Island], it is not ranked at all, and it is meaningless to the high-level vampires. Otherwise, the original bounty for the wanted [Black Swan] would have soared to tens of thousands of gold dragon coins. Milot really couldn''t understand why the vampires were so obsessed with the [Black Swan]. At this time, Gamba said in a deep voice: "Last time, I heard Captain Simon say that they felt the vibration of the [River of Blood] some time ago." "It seems that the resurgence of a certain bloodline has touched the [River of Blood]." "hiss" Milot took a breath. [River of Blood] is what the Vampires call the source of their secret power. It is said that the [River of Blood] is located somewhere in the [Secret Sea]. It is extremely ancient and mysterious. The world usually only knows that the oldest and earliest vampire, the Scarlet Lord, was born from the original Crimson Mother Tree. But very few people know that the [Crimson Mother Tree] is just a drop of blood in the [River of Blood]! Low-level vampires like Milot and Gamba, not to mention personally sensing the "River of Blood", even the legends about it can only be learned from the mouths of others. Milot murmured: "What kind of bloodline can touch the [River of Blood]?" "etc" Thinking of this, Milot suddenly came back to his senses and grasped the previous blind spot. "You mean, the vampire on the [Black Swan] who betrayed [Silver Moon Island] was the initiator of the [River of Blood]?" "And he is the target of our **** hunt?" Gamba nodded: "If I guess correctly, it should be like this." "My dear, that''s really amazing." Milot sighed with emotion, and then sighed a little dullly. "However, these things have nothing to do with us." "With the strength of both of us, we can only be spectators at best. If we are not careful, we will lose our lives." Of course, he felt a little bit sad and regretful. If he had chosen to stay on the Black Swan, he might have had a place on that famous ship now. There would be no need to fight like today. But there is no regret medicine in life, you have to live life, right? Just then. Gamba suddenly raised his head and looked in a direction on the sea. "Coming!" clang! clang! clang! Following the rapid warning bell, a huge, dark ship had sailed out of the mist on the sea and burst into the sight of the crew of the Wincheston. Milot was stunned. The ship that appeared on the sea, except for the black swan carved on the bow, was completely different from the [Black Swan] in his impression. Huge, solid, majestic...like an iceberg crashing from the sea, like a rampaging deep-sea beast. The pitch-black hull was made of an unknown material. It looked solid and cold, and gave people an inexplicable ominous feeling. It''s as if if you stare at it for too long, your soul will be sucked away. The patterns carved on the hull vaguely echo the surrounding sea. It flickers on and off, like breathing. It is also inexplicably reminiscent of the night sky full of stars. And under the sea where the Black Swan is located, there seems to be a bigger shadow hidden. The ripples it stirred up as it drove slowly spread around with a twisted and weird texture. Those artillery pieces, the magic pattern heavy cannon standing in the center of the bow... Just looking at the black muzzle, there is an instinctive sense of crisis, as if being stared at by a wild beast. And, its incredible. Although it has such a large body, the speed of [Black Swan] is still incredibly fast, like an arrow leaving the string! It is hard to imagine what kind of power system can drive this big ship to ride the wind and waves at such speed. Just a few breaths. Milot and Gamba could vaguely see the scene on the deck. He saw a handsome man with a back like a sword, holding the steering wheel in his hand, standing on the ship like a rock in the storm, looking at him with an indifferent gaze. Watching everyone on board the [Wincheston]. "Is that...the current [Black Swan]?" Milot felt that his throat was extremely dry and he could hardly speak. Even though he had overestimated the transformation of the [Black Swan] as much as possible, the sight that burst into his eyes still gave him a strong impact. However, Milot realized clearly that it was the [Black Swan] that he had been with for a short time, not another ship with the same name. Maybe it''s because... the soul of that ship has never changed? However, no one cared about what Milot was thinking at this time. Just like what he said before, the two of them were just dispensable minions in such a naval battle, and they might become cannon fodder with just one shelling. The person who really decided the fate of this ship [Wincheston] was Captain Simon standing on the deck. Hanging from his waist was a sailor''s scimitar and a flint-haired magic-patterned musket, and his whole body was filled with the cold **** aura. Simon''s complexion was far paler than that of ordinary people, and the bright red at the corner of his mouth was the trace left by the blood meal of the virgin girl just now. Seeing the [Black Swan] approaching like this, Simon did not immediately order an attack, but glanced at the first officer beside him. The first mate understood immediately, took out a loudspeaker mechanical device, and shouted to the [Black Swan]. "Captain of [Black Swan], we are not here with any hostility." "In fact, maybe we can even become staunch allies!" [Black Swan] On the deck. Upon hearing such a call, Xia En raised his eyebrows with a strange expression. To be honest, he didn''t know what these vampire ships wanted to do. A few days ago, under the guidance of the [Diamond Star], Xia En successfully drove the [Black Swan] and left the [Misty Sea]. As a result, not long after leaving the fog, they bumped into a ship with obvious blood clan style. Xia En thought they were here to hunt him down, but now it seems that the vampires'' actions have other purposes? Only the amplified voice continued to be heard from the [Wincheston]. "Pastor of the Church of Steam, Feia Potugal!" Hearing her name, Fei Ya raised her head suddenly. However, what the other party said next surprised him even more. "You are crucial to the revival of our vampire family!" "As long as you are willing to return to our embrace, you will directly become a first-class race and enjoy the treatment of a blood prince!" "Similarly, the grievances between us and [Black Swan] will be wiped out. We will also cancel the wanted order for [Black Swan], and even provide you with unconditional help!" "Captain of the [Black Swan], what do you think of this deal?" After hearing these words, Xia En frowned. Even he didn''t expect that the vampire would suddenly make such a request. Although Xia En had known for a long time that Fei Ya also had a special bloodline, he didn''t know that his bloodline would be so special! First class race! Blood Prince! This kind of treatment may not even be available to Twilight, who was originally called [Burning Gold Blood]. The other party''s last words seemed to be a sign of goodwill to him, the captain, but in fact, they were a naked threat! If they do not agree to their conditions and hand over Feiya, the magnificent ship in front of them will undoubtedly launch an attack immediately. If there was only this one ship, of course Xia En would not have any worries and just crush it. However, in Shane''s peripheral vision. Another ship whose size is not inferior to this ship is already like a shark, following the [Black Swan], and may launch a fatal attack at any time. Moreover, further away, enemy ships also appeared. Xia En is not afraid of just a naval battle. But on those ships, he also clearly noticed the auras of several people who were not weaker than himself. There was also a breath, which made Xia En secretly frightened just by sensing it. I dont know whether it is the sixth level or the seventh level. Obviously, for this operation, the vampires dispatched real elites and strong men! Once they board the ship, the situation will change dramatically. In large-scale naval battles, high-level mystics often play the decisive role and must be guarded against. However, Xia En is more concerned about Fei Ya''s thoughts than these obstacles. Although he once said that even if the crew members wanted to leave, he would break their legs and tie them up and he would leave them behind. But when it comes to this, Mr. Xia En still wants to respect the thoughts of every crew member. If Fei Ya decided that he could achieve better development in the vampire clan, he wouldn''t mind letting her go. Xia En turned his head and looked at the boy who was more beautiful than the girl. Without words, just looking at each other, Xia En understood Fei Ya''s decision. What Feiya was hesitating about was not whether to enjoy the treatment of a prince, but whether to sacrifice herself in exchange for the safety of the [Black Swan] and the captain. Xia En said calmly: "Fei Ya, I once told you that as long as you want to stay on my ship, no one can take you away!" "But, Captain Shane..." Fei Ya''s peripheral vision glanced around. The other four vampire warships, plus the [Wincheston] in front of them, are like a big net, surrounding the [Black Swan]. Xia En waved his hand: "Don''t pay attention to them." "I just ask you, do you want to stay on the [Black Swan]?" Fei Ya said resolutely: "I want to!" Shane held his hand and laughed. "It''s just a dilemma, let me take you out!" The next moment, the [Black Swan] suddenly made a sound that resounded across the sea! (End of chapter) Chapter 294 Monster from the deep sea! The Ghost Ship is here! Chapter 294 Monster from the deep sea! The Ghost Ship is here! The loud and long whistle broke the superficial calm. at the same time. The [Black Swan] began to speed up suddenly, and the steam steering wheel deep in the cabin made a drum-like "heartbeat" as it rushed towards the [Wincheston] ahead regardless of its own safety! Xia En knew very well that in this dangerous situation, if he wanted to escape, he had to tear apart the encirclement as quickly as possible and break out from one direction. Just like in a group fight, it will only be effective if you focus on one enemy and make him scared and miserable. Once the breakout is slower, you will be entangled by the enemy. When other ships from the other side arrive, the [Black Swan] will be like prey in a spider''s web. Getting deeper and deeper, with nowhere to escape! At this time, the [Wincheston] located in front of the [Black Swan] has undoubtedly become the best breakthrough target. In the end, just one sentence - When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins! Seeing the giant beast-like [Black Swan] rushing toward him, Simon''s originally calm expression suddenly darkened. "Extremely stupid!" He did not expect that the captain of the [Black Swan] would be stupid enough to give up such favorable conditions. Not only did he not hand over Fei Ya directly, but he chose to take the initiative to attack them. What made Simon even more annoyed was that the guy also regarded himself as the target of a breakout. "Ha...you dare to use me as a breakthrough point. Do you think I''m easy to bully?" "You guy, don''t look down on others!" After squeezing out angry words from between his teeth, Simon gave the order decisively. "Speed ??up! Speed ??up!" "Leave the boat to me!" Hearing this, the sailors, including Milot and Gamba, felt a little frightened. The speed of the [Black Swan] in front of us is really too fast, and it shows no sign of slowing down. If the [Wincheston] continues to accelerate, once it collides, it will definitely be earth-shattering. Even if the [Black Swan] is successfully stopped, the [Wincheston] will be extremely seriously damaged. However, Captain Simon''s account was not calculated in this way. In this collision, the [Wincheston] will certainly be damaged, but the [Black Swan] will never feel better. Moreover, as long as the speed of the [Black Swan] can be slowed down. The remaining four vampire ships can quickly arrive nearby, leaving the opponent with no possibility of escape. By then, those who have made great contributions will naturally receive compensation and rewards from their family. As for the lowly crew members on board as crew members? If one group dies, why not replace it with another group? Moreover, in Simon''s heart, there is another ambition that has not been mentioned to outsiders - The steam mechanic named "Fei Ya" has the ancient bloodline that can be touched by the "River of Blood", but at the same time, he has shown resistance to returning to the family. So, it should be okay to taste his blood yourself, right? Thinking of this, Simon''s eyes flashed with greed. For vampires, the more noble the bloodline, the greater the improvement in strength after absorbing it. Maybe he can use Feiya''s blood to complete the transformation of his bloodline? Suppressing the desire in his heart, Simon ordered the crew members with a cold face. "Why are you still standing there? Stop him!" Naturally, the crew did not dare to disobey his order, so they had no choice but to steer the Wincheston forward. As the distance between the two ships shortened rapidly, Milot and others could see the appearance of the [Black Swan] more clearly. The steep side of the ship, the towering mast, the thick and brutal collision angle...and the indomitable momentum! It''s as if... no matter what obstacles stand in front of it, they will only be crushed without any fancy. The strong wind came with the waves, and the huge shadow rolled over. "It''s about to hit! It''s about to hit!!" someone exclaimed. The sailors immediately ran to the nearest railing or handrail to avoid being thrown out of the ship at the moment of impact. However, the expected earth-shattering impact did not occur. Just when the two ships were about to collide, the [Black Swan] disappeared, disappearing in full view. Instead, there was a huge wave. It was like a whale diving into the sea. "This is?" Simon''s eyes widened in astonishment, looking at the rolling sea in disbelief. His senses are much sharper than those of ordinary crew members, so at that moment, he witnessed the truth of the "Black Swan" "disappearing"! It did not leave this place by means of some kind of space teleportation, but sank directly under the sea! That flexible and vigorous figure is simply like a giant beast living in the ocean, but it has just returned to the embrace of the sea. "Crazy! It''s crazy!" Simon was shocked and angry. He certainly didn''t think that [Black Swan] was seeking death by doing this. Obviously, that big ship has the ability to travel under the sea! It''s just that, not to mention ordinary crew members, even Simon has never seen this kind of thing in his many years of sailing. "[Black Swan]... sank into the sea?" "Can that ship travel in sea water?" Milot lowered his head and looked at the masts and chimneys gradually disappearing under the sea. He was extremely shocked. Is this really something a ship can do? Isn''t its captain afraid that the [Black Swan] will be submerged forever? At this moment, the other crew members were in a similar mood. But soon, Milot let out another shocked exclamation. "Look, what is that?" I saw the shadow under the sea expanding outward at an extremely fast speed, like some kind of fleshy mass that expanded and shrank. And at the edge of the shadow, a large number of dark things that are constantly changing and growing extend. It''s like there are thousands of arms squirming and waving in the ocean, stirring the surrounding water, making the waves become more and more turbulent. Seeing this scene, the sailors couldn''t help but feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Some people even couldn''t help shouting. "monster!" "That ship...is a monster from the deep sea!" Under the sea, there are countless soft tentacles floating around the [Black Swan] that come from nowhere, squirming, entangled... and making murmurs and murmurs that ordinary people cannot seasonal. At this time, it no longer looks like a ship, but more like a descendant of Youshuo covered with tentacles! The tentacles of darkness that spread around the hull were none other than Xia Ens skill The profound touch! With the strength of the [Black Swan], it is certainly not afraid of a head-on collision with the [Wincheston]. However, in this kind of encirclement, a collision will undoubtedly greatly reduce the speed of the [Black Swan], and it may even be stopped by the opponent! That''s why Xia En chose this tactic that was simply impossible for other ships - Dive into the sea and launch an attack directly from the bottom of the [Wincheston] ship. Under Xia En''s control, many tentacles stirred wildly in the sea water, making the water flow in this sea area extremely chaotic. Enter the Wincheston. The hull rocked in the waves, and the steam core began roaring again. At this time, the helmsman has already felt the terrifying impact of those many tentacles one by one. The ship''s hull was swaying to one side, and he had to use all his strength to stabilize the ship in the irregular sea currents. What makes the helmsman even more desperate is. He noticed that countless dark tentacles were entangled on the rudder surface and bottom of the [Wincheston] on the seabed, and were about to drag the entire ship into the deep sea! The helmsman couldn''t help but murmured: "What exactly are we fighting against?" Fear comes from the unknown. The dark shadows under the sea surface and the soft limbs writhing wildly reminded the crew of the rumored deep-sea beasts, those indescribable things that should not be seen by humans. Crunch...crunch... Under the strong pull of the tentacles, the entire ship began to make disturbing sounds, as if it would fall apart at any time. Fortunately, the Mysterians on the ship took action one after another, using their own methods to stabilize the ship''s hull and fight against the huge shadow under the sea. "Hold on!" At this moment, Simon also showed his responsibility as a captain, looking around at everyone with fierce eyes and shouting loudly. "As long as you hold on for a little longer, the [Black Rose] will arrive soon!" After hearing this, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in the eyes of the sailors. The reason is simple. Dobham, the captain of the [Black Rose], is a genuine sixth-level mystic! As long as Dobam arrives, everything will be fine! In fact, there are many Secret Pathers on board the Wincheston, like Simon himself, who is a fifth-level powerhouse. But none of them dared to go directly to the sea to fight. Except for those Secret Pathers with strong blood of the sea clan, most Secret Pathers will have their combat power affected to a greater or lesser extent when fighting in sea water. Especially for some professions that need to cooperate with "verbal" spellcasting, their combat power will be reduced by more than 80% after going to sea. In fact, Simon and other Mystics made the right decision. If they really dare to go to the sea to fight, Xia En will actually tell these people what [Deep Sea Devourer] is! at this time. The [Black Rose], which is closest to the [Wincheston], is already approaching the location of the two ships at full speed. Seeing this, Simon and the crew around him couldn''t help but feel a flash of joy on their faces. Follow this trend. Before the tentacles under the sea pulled the Wincheston into the sea, the Black Rose had already arrived. However, the next moment. The sky suddenly turned black. There seems to be an invisible curtain rising from the sea, covering the sun, moon and stars in the sky. Darkness spread like a tide. Such darkness caused strong uneasiness in the hearts of the sailors on every ship. They couldn''t understand why the celestial phenomena in this sea area suddenly changed so much, and they couldn''t imagine that this would be the work of a mysterious person! Only those with a secret path of level five or above were vaguely aware of something. On the deck of the [Black Rose], the bearded Dobham frowned. "field?" "Such a large scope, such pure secret power..." His expression was unusually solemn, but soon, he noticed the essence of the aura and couldn''t help but feel relieved. "It''s a pity that you are only at level five." "If that''s the case, then go die!" But suddenly. In Dobam''s field of vision, an extremely huge ship burst out of thin air! This ship is so huge. Not to mention the [Wincheston] and [Black Swan], all the ships on the sea at this time, in front of this ship, are as small as a little boy who has not grown up. What shocked people the most was not its size, but the layer of blue flames burning on its surface! The blue fire illuminated the surrounding darkness, as if even the sea was ignited by it. It was not a physical flame, but it had more dangerous lethality than temperature. Just looking at it is terrifying and chilling. "Oh my God! What is that?" "Ghost ship? Is there really a ghost ship on the Seven Seas?" Exclamations sounded one after another. Suddenly someone remembered the rumors they had heard and said in disbelief: "[Diamond Star!]" "That''s the legendary [Diamond Star]!" "But shouldn''t that ship be in the [Misty Sea]? Why does it appear here?" No matter how shocked people are and how unacceptable they are. The operations of the [Diamond Star] did not stop. Accompanied by thrilling roars and sudden waves. This towering ship shadow of unknown origin is like a burning cliff, overwhelmingly crushing towards the [Black Rose]! "What the hell!" Dobam couldn''t help but curse. Even he found the appearance of this ship too incredible. Because before the [Diamond Star] appeared, Dobham didn''t see any sign of the ship approaching. If the [Diamond Star] had been discovered in advance, it would have been possible to avoid the collision. But at this distance... [Black Rose] has no choice but to fight head-on! Dobam took a deep breath, and his face suddenly became extremely flushed. Immediately, he stretched out his right hand and slapped forward with his palm. In an instant, a group of scarlet blood cells composed of blood quickly condensed, and the color became darker and darker visible to the naked eye until it turned into a heart-stopping black-red. Immediately afterwards, this ball of blood flew forward at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, blocking the path of the [Diamond Star]. boom! The moment the two collided, there was a terrifying roar and explosion. The blood light and the blue flame eroded each other, and there was a brief stalemate. But in the blink of an eye, the blue will-o''-the-wisp completely submerged the blood, rushing towards the hull of the Black Rose like a wave, spreading turbulently to everything on the deck. At the same time, the bow of the [Diamond Star] finally came into contact with the boat below. Click! The strong side of the [Black Rose] suddenly broke after just one collision. The cracks on the hull quickly spread outward and quickly connected together. In the end, the entire ship completely shattered under the overwhelming force and slowly sank into the sea. [Black Rose] has just fallen! (End of chapter) Chapter 295 Destroyed two ships in a row! Bloodline suppression! Chapter 295 Destroyed two ships in a row! Bloodline suppression! The defeat of the [Black Rose] was so fast that it simply exceeded everyone''s expectations. You know, this ship has always had a notorious reputation in the waters near [Liu Li Island]. The sail with the black rose pattern was once a nightmare for many small and medium-sized ships. The time when it was built and put into the sea can even be traced back to the time when the Federation just started to build [Liu Li Island] - it is older than the [Burning Gold] that Xia En met before. But at this time. This ancient and powerful ship fell apart in front of the [Diamond Star] after just one encounter! "This, how is this possible..." "The [Black Rose] was destroyed like this?" "What is that ghost ship..." On the remaining four vampire warships, people stared blankly at the sinking sea surface of the [Black Rose]. Under the bright blue fire, they could clearly see The wreckage of the [Black Rose] being submerged by the sea, the many sailors wailing for help, and... the blood rippling on the sea. On the contrary. It''s that ghost ship whose arrogance has not faded at all, but is getting stronger! In the earth-shattering impact just now, the [Diamond Star] was not unscathed. There were also a few tiny cracks on the towering side of the ship. But with the surge of blue flames, those cracks disappeared in the blink of an eye and healed as before. After ramming and sinking the [Black Rose], the [Diamond Star] did not stay where it was, but continued to move forward. Only a few flames remained on the messy sea. That calm and elegant temperament is like a sensitive big cat, completing a hunt that it is bound to win. It''s like a roaring train crushing a piece of garbage with a mantis'' arm as a train. The next moment. The blazing ghost ship disappeared suddenly, as if it had never appeared. However, no one would regard it as a phantom of nothingness. The tragedy of the [Black Rose] is the best example. "what happens?" "Where did that ghost ship go?" "Why does it suddenly appear and disappear?" People looked nervously at the location where the [Diamond Star] disappeared, worried that it would break into their field of vision again at any time. If the [Diamond Star] directly charged the ship, they might not be so nervous. However, [Diamond Star] temporarily hid. It''s like buying a landmine next to people that may explode at any time, keeping them in their throats and bringing an invisible sense of deterrence and oppression. No one knows who its next target will be. Defend, can''t defend. If you don''t take precautions, you are seeking death again. It was obvious that the ghost ship that descended in a terrifying manner had attracted the attention of most people present. And just in the darkness that people don''t notice. The [Winchesterton], which was entangled by many [Deep Touches], finally reached its limit. Crunch...crunch... The planks that made up the ship''s sides groaned under their weight. The [Wincheston] tried its best to squeeze out the last bit of power from the steam turbine to fight against the fate of death. However, everything is in vain. A series of filthy and weird tentacles stretched out from under the sea, and the sharp teeth on them grabbed the side of the [Wincheston] like a suction cup. Then, all the tentacles worked together! Wow! Huge waves rise into the sky! The entire "Wincheston" actually turned over on its side, completely losing its previous balance. "Ahhhhhhhh!" "Help!" Screams and screams rang out together. The sailors were unable to stop this from happening and could only be thrown into the sea under the huge force. Some unfortunate sailors were knocked unconscious by the debris on the ship. The lucky sailors remained awake, but they soon realized that being awake was not necessarily a good thing. Because at this moment, they lost the protection of the ship''s side and deck, and were in direct contact with those dark and sticky tentacles without any protection! The moment the tentacles touch the skin is enough to give people a creepy feeling. Not to mention, they began to wrap tightly around the sailors who fell into the water, and the edges filled with sharp teeth continued to tighten, as if they were holding a large hunting feast. It''s funny to say that. The Vampires always like to call their attacks on other ships "bloody hunting" and enjoy the humans on enemy ships as blood food. But now, they have become the prey of [The Deep Touch]! Screams, wails, the cracking of the hull... all kinds of sounds were mixed together. Those were the last convulsions and wails of the Wincheston. laugh! Dirty blood flew everywhere, and sticky flesh and blood fell to the floor. Simon used the scimitar on his waist to cut off a tentacle, with a ferocious expression on his face. As a fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder, Simon naturally would not die so easily. Even so, he looked very embarrassed. The thick and dirty blood squirmed and flowed on his body surface, and seemed to have tenacious activity, constantly seeping into the wounds, large and small. The scars left on his body by the sharp barbs on the surface of the tentacles. "Get out!" Simon groaned, and the dirty blood was squeezed out of his body. With the vampire''s talent, he could have easily done such a small thing, but at this time, Simon felt a sticky resistance. It was as if the remaining blood from these tentacles were greedily assimilating and devouring his secret power! "What the **** is this?" Simon shook the blood out of his body violently, and his face couldn''t help but look a little pale. But compared to the physical injuries, the sinking [Wincheston] beneath his feet made him feel even more heartbroken. Simon never expected that the [Black Swan] would suddenly sink into the sea, let alone that the other party would summon such weird tentacles. What''s more, I didn''t expect that the [Black Swan] was actually capable of overturning the [Wincheston] even though it was surrounded by a deep net! That was the ship he inherited from his ancestors! In terms of combat power, it can even be compared with the Federation''s third-level battleship! Although Simon expected that the [Winchester] would be injured, he never thought that it would be destroyed in this battle. His eyes were blood red, looking at the shadows in the sea that were quickly disappearing, and he said with hatred. "I will fight with you!" After saying that, the blood in Simon''s body condensed into a thin film, protecting him. He plunged directly into the sea water and chased in the direction where the [Black Swan] left. Simon''s actions may seem reckless, but they are not truly crazy. He knew very well that he wanted to recover the damage caused by the destruction of the [Wincheston]. The only way is to stop the [Black Swan] who wants to escape, and Feiya on that ship. Use Feiya''s bloodline to complete the transformation, or get enough compensation from the family! Otherwise, Simon, who lost his ship, would not be able to find this person in the Seven Seas, and there would be no possibility of his rise. After all, Simon is now like a gambler who loses his money. If he wants to make a comeback, he can only put all his chips on it! In fact. Simon is not the only one who dives into the sea and performs the "decapitation operation" on the Black Swan! Under the sea. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Xia En closed his eyes and noticed several auras of at least level five, rushing towards him quickly from the sea surface and the sea water. "What a generous act." Xia En sneered, but there was no fear on his face. His thoughts moved slightly, and a translucent panel appeared in front of him. "Submarine, start!" This time, the place Xia En chose to dive was not the [Secret Sea] or [The Furnace], but underneath the [Black Swan]! The next moment. A dark figure like a ghost appeared in the deep sea water. His appearance made the already dark water dim again, as if all the light was sucked away. And those [Deep Touch] wandering on the edge of the ship''s hull all humbly and respectfully prostrate themselves at the feet of this phantom, as if expressing their surrender. In fact, Xia En has thought about a problem a long time ago. What will happen when he is under the sea and uses the talent [Deep Sea Scuba Diving]? At this point, the answer is already ready to come out In the sea, his body and [projection body] will exist at the same time! If before the fifth level, even if Xia En knew this, it would not be of much use. Because with his mental strength at the time, he was unable to control two bodies at the same time with one consciousness. If you do this forcefully, you will only focus on one and lose the other, and neither side will be able to exert its full combat power. However, after Xia En passed the fifth-level promotion ritual, his mental power has made great progress. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has reached a new level. So at this time, Xia En can already roughly perform two tasks, controlling the main body and the [projection body] at the same time. The two bodies have many similar talents and skills, and are extremely close in nature. If they attack at the same time, they will definitely produce the effect of "one plus one is greater than two". In fact, this is also the reason why Xia En chose the battle location under the sea. Facing those fifth-level or even sixth-level vampire warriors, Xia En naturally couldn''t hold back at all! "Mr. Captain, here we come, three o''clock!" Joey stood at the entrance to the cabin and issued a warning. In this sea, the authority of [Storm Goddess] is everywhere, and Joey is able to clearly detect every enemy approaching the [Black Swan]. boom! ! What really started this underwater battle was not Xia En, but a loud muffled sound. The magic energy heavy artillery that had been accumulated since the encounter with the "Wincheston" finally poured out happily. The thick purple beam of light, intertwined with the black and white secret power, shot straight towards the secret traveler coming from the three o''clock direction. What a coincidence. This man is none other than Captain Simon, whose eyes are red and looks crazy! "Fuck!" Seeing the light roaring in front of him, Simon, who was so fierce just a second ago, couldn''t help but cursed in his heart. Most of the blood in his body boiled instantly and turned into a blood-colored curtain, forming a pocket shape to receive the bombardment of the magic energy heavy artillery. If he were on land, Simon would certainly not be stupid enough to receive the beam head-on. But the surrounding sea water slightly hindered his movement. Although this resistance is not obvious, in a battle of this level, even a trace of slowness may be fatal! Because he was moving a beat slower, Simon couldn''t dodge and could only fight head-on. The muffled sound sounded again, and Simon''s body flew out upside down. There was a blood hole penetrating through his abdomen. The violent secret power is still roaming and raging in the wound, hindering the regeneration of flesh and blood. For a fifth-level Vampire, such damage is not fatal, but it is enough to make Simon lose his fighting ability in the next period of time and unable to intervene in this battle. After temporarily dealing with Simon, Shane did not relax. His expression became more solemn and he looked in one direction on the deck. "Heh... he obviously noticed my arrival, but he didn''t use this cannon on me." "I really don''t know whether to call you stupid or smart." A middle-aged man with a beard and a handsome appearance slowly walked out of the shadows. Sixth-level secret path master, Dobam! He quietly broke through the membrane surrounding the [Black Swan] and came to the deck. Xia En''s tone was as calm as before: "That shot can''t cause any harm to you, so why waste it on you?" "Not only is this magic cannon on your ship, not even you can pose the slightest threat to me." Dobam''s lips curved into a sneer, and his eyes fell on Fei Ya, who was not far away. After just observing for a moment, his eyes became extremely hot. Greedy desire is burning. "I didn''t expect that the owner of the ancestor''s bloodline would be such a beauty." Dobam grinned and said: "I suggest you surrender as soon as possible. I don''t mind tasting you first before dedicating you to the family..." Apparently, Dobam also misunderstood Feiya''s gender. But at this time, Xia En was not in the mood to correct his fallacy. The next moment. A ghostly shadow appeared behind Dobam. The shadows wrapped around his body like thorns, and swept through him like a storm of sharp blades. "Hmph! A little trick!" Blood flashed in Dobam''s eyes, and he quickly drew out the long sword at his waist, slashing at the figure whose face could not be seen clearly. However, his real killing move is the numerous blood lines released by his other hand. This secret technique is called [Blood Plunder! Once those blood lines penetrate the enemy''s body, they can drain the opponent''s essence and blood in an instant. "Go to hell!" The moment the blood line touched the shadow, Dobam gave a hideous laugh. But what shocked him was that the other end of the blood line failed to absorb even a drop of blood. On the contrary, there was a strange secret power that entered his body along those blood lines. Moreover, in just one breath, numbness and itching sensations came from all over the body. It was as if there were thousands of ants crawling and gnawing inside Dobam''s body. "What the **** is this?" Dobam was shocked, but at the same time, a magic sword condensed with blood was already slashing towards him! "court death!" Dobam shouted loudly and tried to block the slash with his long sword. But suddenly, the blood core in his body seemed to be frozen, making it difficult to beat. Dobam looked at Feiya in horror and said in horror. "This is... bloodline suppression!" (End of chapter) Chapter 296 Arrive at the highest city in the Federation [Liu Li Island! 】 Chapter 296 Arriving at the highest city in the Federation[Liu Li Island! Among the vampires, the purity and antiquity of bloodline are of extremely important significance. Otherwise, there would not be such a strict division of first-class, second-class, and third-class races. -Like a solid pyramid made of blood, it cannot be overstepped. The essential reason is that bloodline will greatly affect the combat effectiveness and talent of vampires. Vampires of lower races may not be able to advance to the third level or even higher levels in their lifetime. At the same time, the high-level vampires with noble blood will naturally have a suppressive effect on the lower-level vampires. Even if they are not direct descendants, the upper bloodline will exert significant pressure on the lower bloodline. The greater the gap in rank, the more obvious the pressure. This kind of "bloodline suppression" is the source of the strict hierarchy of the blood clan. In the past, only Dobam used his blood to suppress other vampires. But right now However, he felt an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty from this "girl" whose rank was far lower than his own, as well as a tremor coming from the depths of his blood! This coercion clearly acted on Dobam''s body, making his blood core seem to be frozen, and his beating speed slowed down significantly. -The blood core is the heart of the vampire clan. After several levels of promotion, the ordinary heart cannot hold the increasingly powerful blood of the Vampires, so the shape of the heart will change. It becomes a core that looks like crystal and flesh. The blood core is also the source of the vampire''s power. The blood core is restrained, and the discomfort is no less than that of a big hand holding the heart tightly. Originally, with Dobam''s strength, it shouldn''t be difficult to block this slash. But with the advent of bloodline suppression, the blood all over his body seemed to be stagnant, and the operation of the secret power was even more unsmooth. It was like an invisible shackle, binding Dobam''s whole body. 100% of the combat power cannot be used at 50%! Although the suppression time was very short, it was enough for Xia En! laugh- The Blood Demon Sword carried heavy power and chopped off Dobam''s head! The hard skull didn''t even hold on for a second, it was split open like a knife cutting through butter. The blood in Dobam''s body showed an unusually tenacious attitude, constantly changing its shape and stimulating its secret power to stop the magic sword from falling. The feeling of this sword is not like cutting into a body, but like cutting into a pool of sticky glue. The resistance is very obvious and even gives people a disgusting feeling. Xia En is not without a way to deal with this. A flash of blood suddenly flashed in his eyes. Immediately, the Blood Demonic Sword in his hand suddenly bloomed with extremely bright blood light. Covered in blood light, Dobam lost control of his blood. Instead of becoming an obstacle to the magic sword, the blood was quickly sucked into the magic sword, making the weapon even sharper and weirder. This is the reason why Xia En uses the [Secret Technique of Blood Modeling] instead of using the shadow blade. Don''t forget, he also has the talent of [Blood Power] to control the secret power of blood. Moreover, after Feiya''s bloodline transformed, Xia En''s talent was also improved due to the effect of [Captain''s Majesty]. In fact. What even Xia En doesn''t know is that the reason why his [Blood Power] can be effective on Dobam is because part of his blood secret power comes from Feiya. In other words, Xia En can be regarded as a blood descendant of Fei Ya in disguise, and he also inherited part of the ancient and noble bloodline. "How is it possible...even you..." Dobam, whose head had been cut off in half, was still not dead. He roared in disbelief from an unknown organ. Amid shock and fear, there was also intense envy and jealousy. He did not dare to accept it, nor did he want to accept it. The captain in front of him was also the owner of the ancestor''s bloodline. Although I dont know what Dobam misunderstood. But Xia En would not miss this excellent opportunity. He shouted violently, mobilized all the strength in his body, gripped the blood demon sword that became sharper and larger, and pressed down with all his strength. A comprehensive quality of up to 16 - the experience of [Deep Sea Diving], the various talents on the panel, the blessing brought by the ship spirit - the results of Xia En''s past efforts are all instilled in this sword. At the same time, the [Projection Body] covered with shadow blades also opened its arms to Dobam. It was like a **** mouth full of sharp teeth that swallowed it up. "Nooooooooo!!" Amidst the shrill screams, the Blood Demonic Sword split open Dobam''s chest from top to bottom, splitting it in two. The vital blood core was also chopped into pieces by a sword. Even those fragments were all destroyed into finer fragments by the shadow of [Projection Body]. From a long time ago, Xia En knew that the vampires had extremely powerful regeneration capabilities. The higher the level of the vampire, the more so. Ordinary methods such as beheading and piercing the heart cannot really kill them. Therefore, when facing Dobam, who was at the sixth level, Xia En did not dare to be careless at all. Even if it was the opponent''s flesh and blood, Xia En activated the [Deep Touch] around him to completely tear them apart and devour them. It wasn''t until Dobam''s body completely disappeared from sight in physical form that everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Fei Ya still had some disbelief on her face and murmured. "Did we really kill him? He should be a sixth-level Mystic, right?" Feiya''s surprise is actually not difficult to understand. After all, Dobam was a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, and in the eyes of Feiya in the past, he was nothing more than a legendary figure. The difference between the third level and the sixth level is too big to be measured. What''s more, he is a vampire who is always known to be difficult to kill! But at this time, Dobam actually died under their joint siege. And the entire battle seemed to last less than a minute? Fei Ya couldn''t help but wonder if Dobam had some back-up plan, or was it just one of his clones that died? Hearing this, Xia En said with unusual certainty: "Don''t worry, he is really dead." The reason why Xia En can make this judgment is simple - [Ship Soul Experience +5%! (Black Swan)] [Ship Soul Experience +5%! (Diamond Star)] The information flashed on the panel fully proved this point. But in fact, Xia En and the others were able to quickly kill Dobam with the power of thunder, which actually had a lot of luck. The most important thing is... Dobam relied on his vampire''s nearly "immortal" self-healing ability to dare to board the [Black Swan] alone. Secondly, before boarding the ship, he seemed to have used some kind of secret technique to cross the water and catch up with him as quickly as possible. In other words, he was not in his prime after boarding the ship. In contrast, Xia En not only used the [Projection Body] and the main body at the same time, but also the [Secret Power of the Void] and Feiya''s bloodline suppression. Under the influence of various factors, Dobam died so easily. In game terms, it''s like being controlled to death by one set. There was no time to use any secret techniques or skills. If Dobam was more cautious and carefully tested the methods of Xia En and others instead of arrogantly using his body to intercept them, it would definitely bring them a great threat. In the end, even if Xia En wins, he still has to pay a heavy price. Fortunately, there are no "ifs" in the world. Dobam finally paid the price for his arrogance. "Am I now able to compete head-on with a sixth-level Mystic Pathgoer..." Xia En clenched his fists, feeling the power flowing through his body, and couldn''t help but feel a little excited. Different from the previous battle between [Sand Island] and Dusk, this time, the opponent was not subject to invisible restrictions, and he did not rely on the power of Carles. Compared to being besieged by three Level 6 Secret Pathers in the [City of Giant Woods], we could only struggle to hold on and had no chance of winning. Xia En can be sure that he has indeed become more than a little stronger! He was one step closer to his goal. However, Shane did not relax just yet. On the contrary, he knew very well that he was not out of danger yet. The powerful auras approaching on the sea surface and in the water are proof of this. The good news is. Due to the advent of the [Great Dark Sky], the emergence of the [Diamond Star], and the incredible diving ability of the [Black Swan]... The [Black Rose] and [Wincheston] were destroyed one after another, and the previous encirclement formed by the five vampire warships no longer existed. Thinking of this, Xia En held the steering wheel again and said in his heart. "Xiao Hei, rush out of the sea!" [Yes, Master! Following Xiao Hei''s response, the [Black Swan] swam upwards like a whale, breaking through the sea in an instant, riding the wind and waves and rushing forward. Although it feels good to travel under the sea with the talent of [Deep Sea Body], underwater navigation will be more or less resisted by the sea water. In terms of pure speed, it is faster on the sea! Right now, as long as the [Black Swan] maintains full speed, it can get rid of the pursuing vampire warriors! In a short period of time, the mystics are definitely stronger than the ships in terms of explosive power, but once the time is extended, the advantages of the ships become apparent. Because no matter what, those who take the secret journey will eventually get tired! But what happened next was beyond Xia En''s expectation. On the sea surface, there were several streaks of blood passing like rainbows. The target is the [Black Swan] ahead. But soon, these **** movements suddenly stopped. Just because they all sensed the death of a fellow member! Powerful vampires usually have strong bloodline perception, but when that bloodline suddenly becomes silent, there is often only one possibility. "Dobam...is dead?" In the **** light, shocked words came out: "This, this is impossible..." The vampires in another **** light were also shocked: "It''s true that there are means to deal with sixth-level experts on that ship, but there is clearly no sixth-level secret path master." "How could Dobam die? And...so quickly?" The tenacious vitality of the vampires is already a recognition engraved in their instincts. Therefore, at certain times, they often do not dodge even though they encounter an attack that will cut their body. It can even be said that the vampires have long adapted to the "injury-for-injury" combat method. Because of this. They only act so shocked after realizing that Dobam is really dead. In addition to being shocked, everyone couldn''t help but feel a little fear and vigilance in their hearts. Since Dobham will be killed by the crew of the [Black Swan], then they... may also die! "What to do next?" The vampire who spoke first asked: "Do you want to continue chasing?" "certainly!" Some people vowed: "Avenge Dobam!" Immediately, Liu Guang, who had stopped, started to pursue again. However, only those who observe carefully can find that the speed of several **** lights seems to be...slower than before? The longer you live, the more you fear death. This law is especially suitable for vampires. Even if they know that with the combat power of themselves and others, they can completely crush the [Black Swan]. But what if there is still a means to kill the sixth-level Mystic Path on that ship? Even if it can only be used once, no vampire wants to be the unlucky guy. "Hmph, you idiots who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Among the crowd, someone said sharply: "If we don''t catch up with him now, when we enter the waters of [Liu Li Island], we will have no chance to take action." "If we really let them escape, they will be liquidated one by one in the future!" These words finally stimulated these vampires. The speed of the blood light increased again. However, they haven''t caught up with the [Black Swan] yet. On the sea not far away, two ships with the federal [Star Wave] logo appeared. "It''s the **** ship of [Liu Li Island]!" The expressions of the vampires changed slightly: "Strange, how come they happened to appear in this sea area?" Soon, everyone looked at the thickest streak of blood and asked: "Sir Richard, what should we do now?" The owner of this **** light is the vampire who woke everyone up just now. The reason why he has such strong hostility towards the [Black Swan], in addition to Fei Ya who is bound to win, is also because... He is the brother of Captain Twilight of [Burning Gold]! After learning about his sister''s death, Richard included the Black Swan on his must-kill list. He originally thought that this **** hunting trip would wash away hatred with the blood of his enemies, but he didn''t expect to encounter so many changes one after another. Looking at the **** ship approaching the Black Swan, Richard''s face became increasingly ugly. "Federal **** ship..." This sea area has actually not officially entered the management scope of [Liu Li Island]. But now that the federal **** ship has arrived, if they want to launch another attack, they will undoubtedly challenge the authority of the federation! After his expression changed several times, Richard''s face turned gloomy and he said bitterly: "Let''s go!" other side. [Black Swan] came to the side of two **** ships. There was no communication between the two sides, but the **** ship suddenly changed its direction. Although Xia En was a little confused, he still drove the [Black Swan] and followed the two ships. It didn''t take long. Not far away, a vast and prosperous island is already vaguely visible. Arrive at the highest city in the Federation[Liu Li Island! (End of chapter) Chapter 297 【Federal Grand Library】 Chapter 297 [Federal Library] In the process of approaching [Liu Li Island]. Shane always paid attention to the two federal frigates that suddenly appeared next to him. After all, the timing of their appearance was a bit too coincidentalit happened to be not long after the [Black Swan] broke out of the vampire hunt. Moreover, this sea area is actually still some distance away from [Liu Li Island]. The arrival of these two frigates can hardly be said to be a coincidence. It felt to Xia En as if he had come to greet the Black Swan on purpose. Shane originally guessed that Carles might be on the two ships. But when the remaining three warships of the Blood Tribe disappeared from sight, no one on the **** ship came forward to negotiate with them, as if the two ships were just on routine patrol. This contradictory situation naturally made Xia En feel quite strange. It wasn''t until the three ships sailed into the port of [Liu Li Island] that a familiar face finally appeared on the deck. "Captain Shane, long time no see." Hearing this hearty voice, Xia En was surprised and a little pleasantly surprised. "Captain Dulan? Why are you at [Liu Li Island]?" The person who appeared on the frigate was none other than the demi-human Duran, whom Shane had met several times! Duran still looks tall and strong, with brown hair all over his body, and he looks like he has a good handle. With Xia En''s perception, he could easily detect - Compared with the last time they met, Duran''s aura has improved greatly, and he must have become a third-level mystic. In fact, this is the speed at which normal Mystics are promoted. There are even more Mystics who cannot advance to the first level in several years or decades. Looking at Xia En in front of him, Dulan was filled with emotion and admiration. If anyone had told him when they first met that this handsome young captain could become a fifth-level mystic and become famous on the Seven Seas, he would have thought it was a fantasy. But now, all this has become a fact. Moreover, just being able to escape from the encirclement of five vampire warships is enough to prove Xia En''s strength. Suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, Dulan smiled and said: "I am no longer the captain, just the first mate on the [Iron Eagle]." Xia En smiled: "Congratulations to you." Although Dulan''s position has changed from captain to first mate, the sea area under his jurisdiction has changed from a remote place like [Duke Island] to [Liu Li Island]. It''s like going from a small town to a big city. It seems like a demotion, but in fact it is definitely a promotion. Duran continued: "Let me introduce to you, this is my current captain, Alessio." Xia En looked at Duran''s side. The captain of the [Iron Eagle] is a tall, thin, blond young man with a handsome appearance and a somewhat sharp temperament. The most surprising thing is that he looks to be about the same age as Shane. At this age, being able to become the captain of the federal **** ship near [Liu Li Island], coupled with the aura of a fourth-level mystic in him, can be regarded as a young and promising person. However, Alessio looked at Shane with very complicated eyes. There is envy, vigilance, and surprise... And some strange hostility? Xia En was a little confused. Did he offend this young captain in some way? It was obviously the first time they met, right? Strangely enough, Alessio helped him at a critical moment, so Xia En didn''t care too much and took the initiative to reach out and said. "I''m Shane, nice to meet you." Alessio shook his hand and then said coldly. "Xia En, this name... I have heard it many times. I didn''t expect you to really have the courage to come to [Liu Li Island]." "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows and his expression became wary. Although I dont know where Alessios hostility comes from, he expressed it directly. Of course, Shane cant pretend that he didnt hear it. However, just when Shane was about to say something. With a "pop" sound, a white palm hit Alessio directly on the back of the head. "What nonsense are you talking about!" The owner of the palm turned around and looked at Xia En with a smile: "Don''t listen to Xiao Aao''s nonsense, our attitude towards you is very friendly." "Otherwise, we wouldn''t have gone to such great lengths to dispatch these two **** ships to pick you up..." When he saw Xia En''s face, the owner of the palm paused in his words. At this time, Xia En was able to see the face of this woman clearly. This is a dashing, graceful blonde woman with an extremely hot figure. The plump **** that are ready to come out are something that no male can ignore. Her appearance is 50 or 60% similar to Alessio''s, and she obviously has some kind of blood relationship. "Sister, how many times have I told you not to hit me on the head!" The cold attitude Alessio had played before was instantly "broken" when he was hit by the blonde woman. He looked extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do about his sister. But at this time, the blonde woman''s attention had been completely attracted by Shane. She stared intently at Xia En''s face, which was so exquisite that it could be described as "perfect". Her eyes were so bright that her saliva was almost drooling. "I heard from Carles before that that Shane is very good-looking. Now it seems that she is really a rare beauty." "No wonder she has always been obsessed with you." Hearing this, Shane''s eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know Carles?" "Where is she now?" The blonde woman took a step forward, came to Shane, and hugged his shoulders. The amazing elasticity was transmitted through the thin clothes, and Shane could even use this to outline the rounded arc in his mind. However, what worried Xia En more was the speed with which she took this step. Even Xia En can''t seem to stop her, which shows the extraordinary strength of this woman. "Don''t worry~" The woman''s red lips opened slightly and she said softly: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Daisy. I am Carles'' colleague and friend." "If you want to know where Carles is, why don''t you chat with me first?" As she spoke, Daisy''s fingers slowly traced across Xia En''s solid chest, her gesture was very ambiguous. Shane frowned. To be honest, he didn''t particularly like such a frivolous woman, so he said lightly. "I think we should get down to business, right?" The flamboyant Daisy curled her lips and said, "You can''t even take a joke. She is exactly the same as Carles." But she still returned to Alessio''s side honestly. Even before leaving, she didn''t forget to touch Xia En''s chest muscles. Xia En couldn''t help but smile. Is he being fooled? After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En glanced at the two **** ships next to him and said seriously. "Thank you both for your help." He has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances, so he naturally knew that Daisy and her brother were friends of Carles, but not his friends. They are willing to help out of affection, but not to help out of duty. Moreover, if the vampires were really determined just now, they might not take action against the federal **** ship. "Little things, little things." Daisy waved her hand generously: "When Carles left [Liu Li Island], he specifically told us that if you come to [Liu Li Island], we must help you." "Actually, we didn''t help much. The main reason is that your [Black Swan] was powerful enough to break out of their encirclement." "If you are really caught by the vampires, even if we come forward, it will probably be of no use." Daisy said this very frankly. The combat power of the two **** ships was actually nothing at all. It was only because the Federation of the Seven Seas stood behind them that the vampires turned against them. But this fear is obviously limited. It can only prevent the vampires from attacking them, but it cannot prevent them from spitting out the prey they have eaten. That''s why Daisy said this. At this time, Alessio on the side said coldly: "However, you destroyed the two ships of the vampires this time, which can be considered as completely angering the vampires." "After that, as long as you leave [Liu Li Island] again, you may be hunted by a larger scale of bloodshed." "When the time comes, we won''t be able to help, so you''ll have to ask for your own blessings." His words were clearly concerned, but his tone was somehow harsh, which made Xia En look a little weird. "Haha, don''t worry!" Daisy patted Alessio on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That''s the character of little Oao. What''s that word called? It seems...arrogant?" "But don''t blame him. He targeted you for a reason." Daisy explained to Xia En: "At the beginning, Xiao Aao was actually the original driver of [Platinum Knight]." "Whether it''s physical body or secret power, they all have a very high degree of compatibility." "As a result, after Carles went on a mission, you robbed her of her first chance to unite. After that, Carlis didn''t allow anyone else to enter her body, so the driver''s matter was naturally left alone." "Even now, little Ao''ao still feels resentful in his heart!" After hearing this, Shane immediately understood where Alessio''s hostility came from. Co-author, Alessio is Carles''s "childhood sweetheart", and he is the latecomer who stepped in. Not only did he take away Carles'' first time, but he also made her completely obsessed with him... Hiss...this plot? There are cows! After thinking about all this, Shane no longer cared about Alessio''s stinging words. To be fair, anyone who encounters this kind of situation would be resentful! Not to mention the thorny words, it is not impossible to challenge directly in person. As a profiteer myself, I can only understand a little bit. Soon, Shane asked Daisy again: "You said... before Carlisle left?" "She has left [Liuli Island] now?" Daisy nodded: "Yes." "Her father is the captain of the [King], so she is also the first batch of supporters to go to the [Cold Sea]." "I see." Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn''t see Carles, but the situation was like this, there was nothing Shane could do. The top priority right now is to find a place to stay and let the crew rest for a few days. In fact, since the [Black Swan] left the [Ice Island], Xia En and others have not seriously rested on any island. Long-term sea voyages actually place a considerable burden on people''s minds and spirits. If it weren''t for Xia En''s [Rhine Secret Realm] for the crew to rest, and Feiya and Joey''s means of purifying their souls, something might have gone wrong a long time ago. "Are you looking for a place to stay?" Daisy saw what Xia En was thinking and said considerately: "Carles has already prepared it for you, come with me." Under the leadership of Daisy, the group officially set foot on [Liu Li Island]. As soon as he landed on this island, Xia En immediately felt a distinctive feature that was different from other islandsbig! On other islands, due to island area restrictions. People always try to compress unnecessary space as much as possible to free up more space for living or other important aspects. There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it will inevitably make the layout of the entire island look a bit bloated and crowded. Available at [Liu Li Island]. Whether it is streets, corridors, houses, or churches, they are all extremely spacious. The streets and buildings on both sides of the roads in the city have obviously been carefully planned and are not just "barbaric growth" without order. It just looks pleasing to the eye. Even on the road, Sean could see green plants and flowers. Cinemas, dance halls, grand theaters, museums... these buildings that seemed to have been lost in the post-flood era are neatly displayed on [Liu Li Island]. It can be said that the prosperity of [Liu Li Island] is not the kind of "prosperity" that is magnificent, dazzling and blinding people with a large number of luxury goods. It is another kind of quiet prosperity that symbolizes civilization and order. As far as Xia En was concerned, it was obvious that the latter made people feel more comfortable. But at the same time, Xia En and others also noticed The pedestrians on [Liu Li Island] are not too dense, and are even a little sparse. Many of the shops on both sides of the street had their doors closed, and it was unclear whether they were closed or closed. Some streets looked quite deserted. Daisy explained: "This is not only the impact of the second flood prophecy, but also because of the previous war between the Hui Sect, the Nether Sect and the Truth Society." "In order to prevent the infiltration of the esoteric believers, [Liu Li Island] once cut off the entry and exit of merchant ships, which is why it is now like this." At this point, Daisy sighed: "I really don''t know why they are fighting." "On the contrary, we suffered an unreasonable disaster." Shane: "..." Not long after, Daisy brought Shane and others to a manor. "This is Carles''s manor, you can live here first." "If you need anything, you can come to me anytime." Hearing this, Xia En said directly: "It just so happens that I have a need now." "You want to explore pre-Flood history?" "Still want to find some possibly lost spells?" After listening to Xia En''s request, Daisy thought for a moment and gave the answer: "Then there is only one place you want to go -" "[Federal Grand Library!]" (End of chapter) Chapter 298 Librarian half-elf, Jane! Chapter 298 LibrarianHalf-elf, Jane! "The Federal Library?" Hearing the name, Xia En suddenly became interested: "Is there such a place on [Liu Li Island]?" Daisy nodded, her tone full of pride: "Of course, this is [Liu Li Island]!" "The Great Library of the Federation is said to have been created by the Chief of the Federation, Wayne Moriarty." "It contains many documents before and after the Great Flood. The earliest ancient books can even be traced back thousands of years before the Great Flood!" "It can be said that the Federal Grand Library is the largest, largest collection of books and the best-preserved library in the Federation." "The answer you want can only be found in the Great Library." Shane murmured to himself: "Wayne Moriarty..." Of course he didn''t forget the name. Back then, on the "Giant Island" in the "Misty Sea", there was an "Ember Treasure". Xia En had seen the message from the federal chief and the [Judgment] sword intention left on the rock wall. In fact, both of them provided great help to Shane at that time. Especially the sword intent on the rock wall made Xia En understand the skill of [Sword of Judgment], which became his trump card for a period of time. Although after reading Wayne Moriarty''s message, the ghost lady Vivian still carried the crystal coffin to Shane''s ship. But that is force majeure. Shane himself still feels some gratitude to Wayne. So, he couldn''t help but asked curiously: "Federal Chief, are you still alive now?" "You can just ask me this." Daisy said frankly: "I''m just a soldier in the federal navy. How do I know whether such a legendary big shot is dead or alive?" "However, in the past few years, there has indeed been no news of the Federation Chief appearing on the Seven Seas." "Perhaps the old man deliberately kept his name anonymous and wanted to live a peaceful life?" Shane agrees. Afterwards, Shane asked the other crew members to stay in Carles''s manor to rest, while he followed Daisy towards the Federation Library. On the way, Daisy did not forget to remind her. "By the way, if you have ancient documents unearthed from underwater ruins or other places, you can exchange them for federal merit in the Great Library." "Achievements?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Xia En was a little curious: "What is that?" Daisy explained: "You can think of it as a special currency of the Federation. It can be exchanged for some good things that money cannot buy from the Federation''s treasury. It can only be obtained through several special channels." "On [Liu Li Island] or other core islands of the Federation, merit is much more useful than Golden Dragon Coins." "Of course, meritorious deeds can also be exchanged for gold dragon coins, but it is difficult to buy meritorious deeds with gold dragon coins." After hearing what she said, Xia En understood immediately. This is something like "contribution points" and "points". It can not only reduce the expenditure of gold dragon coins, but also encourage the federal navy and civilians to serve the federation. "It is said that the superiors also plan to reward the meritorious service for this rescue operation to [Lenglie Sea]." Daisy said: "No matter what your background is, whether you are a pirate or a navy, as long as you make a contribution in this operation, you can get rich merits." After hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but sigh with emotion at the courage of the federal officials. The scale and scope of this operation can be said to be the first since the establishment of the Federation. The amount of merit that needs to be paid is naturally huge. Even with the financial resources of the Federation, it will probably cost a lot of money. But then I thought about it. If they really failed to prevent the second world-destroying flood, no matter how many achievements they made and how many secret treasures they had, it would be meaningless. It''s better to use this as a reward to encourage people to give it a try. Xia En was also somewhat interested in the Federation''s treasure house, so he asked: "Besides ancient books, what else can be exchanged for Federation merit?" "Let me think..." Daisy held her chin and thought: "It seems that seeds, embryos of ancient organisms, or some new species that have never been recorded can be exchanged for federal merit." "Seeds or embryos of ancient creatures?" Xia En was stunned. He immediately thought of the [Ember Treasure] buried in [Coral City]. Although the treasure had been destroyed by ignorant outsiders, it still contained many pre-Flood seeds. If they are handed over to the Federation, not only can they receive a lot of merit, but they can also allow these seeds to play their true role, bloom and bear fruit again in this new era, and complete the continuation of the species. It''s a pity. Xia En did not leave the [Submarine Anchor Point] in [Coral City]. Considering the distance between that ruins and [Liu Li Island], it would obviously be a waste of time to go there in person. He could only put the matter aside for the time being. As for the new species that have never been recorded that Daisy mentioned, it reminded Shane of Rhine Secret Realm! From Xia En''s exploration in the [Rhine Secret Realm], it is basically certain that before their arrival, this [Secret Realm] had no connection with the Seven Seas World. The only "portal" and "bridge" between the two sides is the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] in Xia En''s heart. That is to say. The creatures in [Rhine Secret Realm] are all new species that are completely unfamiliar to [Seven Seas World]. Thinking about it, he should be able to get a lot of merit in exchange. The only drawback is that this will most likely expose the information that Xia En alone holds a [Secret Realm]. However, Xia En still trusts the credibility of the Seven Seas Federation. Take this call to action. Many pirate ships originally did not dare to approach the federal islands, fearing that this would be a trap and they would be destroyed. But soon, the federation issued an announcement stating that as long as the pirate ship participated in the rescue operation, it would be able to obtain an "amnesty order" issued by the federation and eliminate the previous bounty. The Black Swan''s ability to enter the port of Liuli Island is also related to this "amnesty order". In the early days of this announcement, it naturally caused a lot of controversy and confusion. However, the Federation still firmly implements it until today. It can even be said that the credibility of the Federation is so good that even the most vicious pirates cannot deny it. Therefore, Xia En believes that it is feasible to exchange the new species in the [Rhine Secret Realm] for the Federation''s merits. "We''re here." At this moment, Daisy''s words interrupted Shane''s chaotic thoughts. He silently suppressed his distracting thoughts and kept the matter of "redeeming merit" in mind, then raised his head and looked in front of him. What slowly entered Xia En''s sight was a tall and magnificent building. The walls of this building are dark gray, like steel. From the architectural style, we can also see its cold and hard temperament, like a soldier standing in the cold wind. Its towering columns, arches and continuously undulating roof structure look full of majesty and majesty at any time. In fact, this is very typical of the early Federal style. During the earliest days of the Federation, resources in all aspects were quite limited, and various buildings were often more focused on practicality than aesthetics. In other words, it looks very military. However, after staring at the building for a moment, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. Because, in his eyes, this library quickly underwent indescribable changes. A large number of blurry black shadows spread from the edge of the library, and countless eyes opened in each black shadow, peeping at him with different eyes. Not only that, the building seemed to melt, its entire form changed, and it continued to expand and contract and squirm. Like some kind of living thing, like a burning candle... There are also a lot of distorted noises and light and shadow fragments of unknown meaning mixed in, making the whole picture look even more absurd and bizarre. Faced with this scene, Xia En was not afraid at all, but took a step forward. After taking this step, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The next second. The black shadow spreading in the library suddenly began to tremble violently. All the eyes in the black shadow suddenly burst open as if they had seen something they shouldn''t have seen. There was a harsh and painful scream from the melting building. Immediately afterwards, all visions disappeared. The library in front of Xia En was still the cold and majestic building, as if everything that had just happened was just his own illusion. "How...how is this possible?" But at this time, Alessio''s shocked murmur came from beside Shane. Shane turned around and found Daisy looking at him as if she had seen a ghost. He asked in confusion: "What''s wrong?" "Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen something strange just now. Could it be that it was you..." Shane''s eyes became sharp and scrutinizing. Daisy quickly explained: "Mr. Shane, it''s not what you think." "Actually, this should be considered a customary practice when visiting the [Federal Grand Library]." "Books and texts also have special secret powers, especially those books that record ancient secrets. They can also be regarded as a kind of [forbidden relic] in themselves." "Therefore, a special sealing ritual has been set up in the [Federal Great Library] to prevent this weird secret power from leaking out." "Although the Great Library has sealed this power, some of its aura will always leak out." Daisy paused and continued. "People with high inspiration often see some indescribable images when they see the Great Library for the first time." "On the contrary, there will be no impact at all." After hearing these words, Xia En suddenly understood: "That''s it." There was something profound in his tone. From a subjective perspective, Daisy and her brother did not want to harm themselves. However, the two of them brought Xia En to the entrance of the big library without taking the initiative to remind him. They were obviously there with a mischievous mentality of wanting to see him embarrassed. However, his reaction seemed to shock them? Shane glanced at Alessio behind him and continued walking into the big library without saying anything else. After the two sides were some distance apart, Daisy asked Alessio in a low voice. "Brother, what did you see just now?" Alessio still looked a little dazed and murmured: "I saw...those shadows and were scared away..." "I saw something similar." Daisy was a little surprised and guessed: "Who is this Captain Shane?" Just because he has a high rank, he can''t do what he just did. It is obvious that there is some characteristic in Xia En that makes even the hidden powers in the library fear him. Daisy changed the subject and said. "But even so, I''m afraid he will feel embarrassed in front of the administrator, right?" Alessio nodded with deep understanding. "After all, it''s the administrator lady..." Xia En, who had already walked into the library door, was completely unaware of the conversation between the two people behind him. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes were attracted by the seemingly endless books in front of him. On the rows and rows of bookshelves, there are countless books on display, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance. The entire library is like a forest composed of books and bookshelves. Cold and silent, but with a strange sense of beauty. For book lovers, this might be paradise, right? Tread... Just when Xia En was shocked by the sight in front of him, there was a burst of unhurried footsteps behind him. Shane turned to look. Coming from behind was an old woman wearing a long black dress with an aging face. She has a thin figure and a calm expression, and her youthful beauty is vaguely visible between her brows and eyes. The old woman just stood in the forest of bookshelves, but she seemed extremely harmonious, as if she should be a part of these books. At first glance, she looks a bit like an old witch from a fairy tale. Still the kind that eats children! But after careful observation, you can find that the old woman actually feels plain. It''s like he has already experienced the prosperity of the world and seen the peaks and valleys, so he doesn''t care much about external things. She was clearly standing there, but it seemed like she was spanning an immeasurable distance. After glancing at Xia En, the old woman''s expression did not waver at all. She just moved her steps and continued to do her unfinished work. But that''s it. However, Xia En noticed something special about the old woman and couldn''t help but ask. "Are you... an elf?" The reason why Xia En asked this question was because he saw that the old woman''s ears were slightly pointed and there were some traces of dark green in her pupils. The most important thing is that the old woman has an indescribable natural aura about her. "Um?" The old woman raised her eyebrows, seeming to see something from Xia En, and asked. "Have you ever seen a real elf?" The old woman''s voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had experienced the precipitation of time. After hesitating for a moment, Xia En nodded: "That''s right." But at this moment, the old woman''s cloudy eyes suddenly glowed with an unprecedented look. She murmured quickly: "No, you have not only met elves, you have also spent time with elves day and night..." "That''s it, it turns out you are..." The old woman''s cold attitude suddenly changed. She walked up to Xia En and said seriously. "First time we meet, I am Jane Vivian." "I am not a pure-blooded elf, but a hybrid of elves and humans." (End of chapter) Chapter 299 [Defector], [Truth Society] plan! Chapter 299 [Defector], [Truth Society] plan! "Jane Vivian?" Shane was stunned for a moment. He was particularly impressed by the surname "Vivian". Not only did Miss Ghost, the crew member, have this name, but Laila was also a member of this big family. Could it be that there is a certain blood relationship between this wise and indifferent old woman and Laila? At this time, Jane''s attitude had changed drastically compared to just now, and her expression became kind and gentle, with a touch of happiness and nostalgia. Jane breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "I thought I couldn''t wait for your arrival." "You...waiting for me?" The doubts in Xia En''s heart became more intense, and he couldn''t help but ask cautiously. "Did Laila ask you to do this?" Jane shook her head: "Unfortunately, I don''t know who Laila is." "To be more precise, I no longer remember who asked me to do this, nor the specific reasons behind it." "Um?" The more Xia En listened, the more strange he became. Since she has forgotten this information, why Jane can still remember to wait for him seems to be contradictory. But soon, Xia En suddenly remembered a similar case - Joeys father, [Undertaker] Edward! In the state of not awakening his hidden personality, he obviously reacted to the name "Diana", but the memory related to it no longer existed. Isn''t this old woman''s situation exactly similar? And in the Seven Seas, the only one who can delete memories at will is the [Truth Society]! Xia En simply asked directly: "Did the [Truth Society] do anything about it?" "It seems that you know a lot more than I expected." Jane''s tone was inexplicably meaningful: "But let''s just say that." "By the way, I haven''t asked you your name yet..." Xia En said bluntly: "My name is Xia En, and I am the captain of the [Black Swan]." "[Black Swan]? You have a ship that loves you very much... Oh no, it seems there is more than one?" Jian Shenjing''s face showed a moment of teasing: "To be so closely entangled with so many people''s ''threads''..." "Mr. Xia En, let me remind you that it is not a good thing to be too carefree." Xia En shook the corner of his mouth, not knowing how to answer. But he suddenly felt a little strange. Only a few people should know that he owns two ships, the Diamond Star and the Black Swan at the same time, right? How did the old woman figure it out? Could it be some kind of mind-reading secret? Jane smiled and said: "Don''t worry, I don''t know how to read minds." "It''s just that my eyes can see some things that ordinary people can''t see, such as... the ''lines'' and ''dots'' on people." "Plus, after living for so long and meeting a lot of people, I can more or less guess what people are thinking." Xia En secretly marveled. Jane''s words sounded light, but in fact, this was not something that could be done just by talking about it. "Mr. Shane, please come with me." "Most of what you want to know can be answered here." Jane turned around and pressed lightly somewhere on the bookshelf, and a secret door opened. Xia En followed her into the secret door. At this time, Alessio and Daisy had just walked into the library door. Looking at the two people disappearing into the secret door, Daisy could not help but widen her eyes and murmured. "Madam administrator, you actually took him to that room?" "W-what''s going on? What happened just now when we were away?" Even Alessio, who had always behaved aloof, also showed a surprised and confused expression. He was even more surprised than when he saw Xia En "scare" away the secret power in the library. No wonder the siblings were so surprised. You know, the eccentric character of this great librarian is famous throughout [Liu Li Island]! because From the day the [Federal Grand Library] was built, the old woman has served as the "administrator" here. She always had a cool and indifferent attitude towards visitors to the Great Library. Of course, if you have something serious to do, the old woman will also complete her work seriously. But if it was just for the reason of "seeing the world" and "passing the time", this administrator would not give much of a good look. Regardless of whether he is an ordinary civilian, a pirate with a notorious reputation, or a general of the Federation Navy... As long as you come to the [Federal Library], you must act according to Jane Vivian''s rules! Once upon a time, it seemed that some children of high-ranking federal officials showed a bossy attitude when visiting the library. Then naturally I was taught a lesson by the administrator lady. These children thought they could use the power of their elders to retaliate against this "unscrupulous" administrator. However, in the end, people only saw a group of high-level federal figures personally bringing them to the big library to apologize. From this we can also see that this old woman has an extraordinary identity. And Jane''s secret room is even more like an "urban ghost story" in [Liu Li Island]. It is said that very few people have ever entered that secret room. But each one of them is a big shot famous in the seven seas. Either he is the governor of [Liuli Island], or he is the dean of the Federal Research Institute, the commander of the federal navy... Legend has it that even the chief of the federation needs permission from the administrator to enter this secret room. But now, a captain who has just arrived at [Liu Li Island] is getting this kind of treatment? Why is this? Alessio can''t figure it out no matter how hard he tries! But Daisy was thoughtful and whispered to herself: "Perhaps this is also the reason why Carles chose him?" "Her taste has always been very good..." at the same time. Xia En has followed Jane into the deep secret room. Of course he didn''t know the legend and reputation of this secret room on [Liu Li Island]. But after the secret door was closed, Xia En immediately noticed that a mysterious closed barrier had been formed in the room, which seemed to be to isolate the perception of the outside world and prevent the secret power from being leaked. It is very similar to the room where Augustine was in the promotion copy at that time. Moreover, Xia En secretly sensed it for a moment and found that the secret power contained in this barrier was very unusual. I''m afraid that even with all his strength, he won''t be able to break this barrier. Just then. A bright light came on above Shane''s head. Under the light, what appeared in front of him was a room with silver-white walls and floors. It''s not particularly huge, but it can''t be called small either. In the room, there are a large number of large and small precision instruments. For some of the instruments, Xia En can also judge their usefulness based on his previous life experience, such as microscopes, scales, spectroscopic devices... But more instruments were beyond Xia En''s knowledge. They were unheard of and full of dreamy technology. Even people like Xia En, who have a certain scientific education foundation, have this feeling. Not to mention ordinary captains and civilians on the Seven Seas. When they saw this scene, they were afraid that they would think it was a miracle, or... they would regard it as the scene of some strange ritual? However, after being surprised, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little wary. In fact, he is no stranger to this kind of technology-filled room. There were similar scenes inside the two [Ember Shelters]. Moreover, perhaps because of the more exposure and knowledge he has, when Xia En sees this kind of high-tech thing, the first thing he thinks of is the [Truth Society]! Coupled with Jane''s previously suspected altered memory, it was difficult for Xia En not to become suspicious. "Don''t worry." Seemingly sensing Xia En''s vigilance, Jane sat down on the chair in the secret room and spoke. "Let me formally introduce myself. I am the administrator of the [Federal Library] and I was once a member of the [Truth Society]." "But now, I should have been regarded as a [defector]." After hearing Jane personally admitting her relationship with the [Truth Society], Xia En not only did not relax, but became more vigilant. He has personally experienced the weirdness and evil of the [Truth Society], and naturally he does not dare to despise it in the slightest. "[Defector?]" Shane made a gesture as if he might attack at any time and asked, "What does that mean?" Jane was not surprised by Xia En''s reaction, but continued to speak in a calm and calm tone. "Actually, a long time ago, the [Truth Society] was not as extreme as it is now, but a looser and more tolerant organization." "The purpose of people joining the [Truth Society] is just to communicate and communicate on the most cutting-edge technology." "After all, genius is always lonely." "Ordinary people usually cannot understand them. Only similar people can understand their inner thoughts a little bit." "The original [Truth Society] was an organization that supported each other to support each other." There was a touch of sadness in Jane''s voice, as if she was telling a distant story that had nothing to do with her. "It''s just that slowly, some extreme ideas sprouted in the [Truth Society], and the [Truth Society] gradually deteriorated." "The worst thing is that they even came into contact with the existence of [truth]!" "They regarded the judgment of [Truth] as a guideline and gradually moved towards the path of madness. It was at that time that I quit the [Truth Society]." "However, in the eyes of the current [Truth Society], I am undoubtedly a shameful [defector]." "If my true identity is known to them, someone will probably come to assassinate me soon." From these words, Xia En felt Jane''s sincerity. He didn''t think Jane would lie about this kind of thing, because it was too easy to verify it. However, Shane noticed an important point from Jane''s words. He asked: "Having come into contact with the existence of [truth]... what does that mean?" In Shane''s view, shouldn''t "truth" be a more abstract existence? -For example, "1+1 equals 2" and "water evaporates when heated" and other laws and phenomena. That''s why I ask this question. Jane explained patiently: "Generally speaking, [truth] is of course everywhere, but it can never be touched." "In the beginning, the [Truth] that people in the [Truth Society] believed in also existed like this." "Scientists believe that there must be some absolute law in the world that they have not discovered yet, and the world operates according to this law." Some people call it God, Tao, thing-in-itself, absolute spirit In short, it has risen from the category of technology to religion. "As for the [truth] they came into contact with later..." Jane''s words paused, and it seemed that even she didn''t know how to describe this kind of existence. After a moment, Jane asked: "Mr. Xia En, I wonder if you have ever heard of... [The Will of the Secret Sea]?" Shane: "I''ve heard of it." He still remembered that in Augustine''s words, the "Secret Sea Will" was an extremely large, sophisticated, and absolutely rational machine. "Now that I''ve heard of it, it''s easy to explain." Jane continued: "In my opinion, the [Truth] that the [Truth Society] comes into contact with is equivalent to a clone and a fragment of the [Secret Sea Will]." "He possesses ''absolute rationality'' and superb computing performance similar to [Secret Sea Will]." "People in the [Truth Society] now believe that as long as they fill in enough data for Him, they can calculate the fate of everyone in our world and the development direction of everything." "Past, present, future... everything is under control!" "hiss" After hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but take a breath. To be honest, even he felt that the goal of the [Truth Society] was a bit too exaggerated. Control everything in the world. I''m afraid only the true Creator can do this kind of thing, right? But in other words, this is indeed an extremely grand and magnificent ideal. Those talented scientists who have made great achievements in various fields are really easily attracted by such ideals. The more incredible the goal, the greater the sense of accomplishment when completed. Perhaps it is for this reason that the [Truth Society] can continuously attract scientists to join it, and its power continues to grow. However, Xia En guessed that after attracting the scientists into the [Truth Society], the [Truth Society] might have used some special secret technique to hypnotize and brainwash them. After all, not all scientists are lunatics who don''t take human life seriously. Only special means can change their character. After Xia En digested this shocking secret with difficulty, he asked again: "I heard that the [Truth Society] has been preparing two plans." "One is to steal the authority of the gods, but what is the other?" Jane glanced at Xia En in surprise: "So you even know about this?" "These two plans are the secrets of the [Truth Society]. Only the top fifty members of the [Truth Serial Number] can know." "Everyone else is just a tool to execute the plan." Jane didn''t say anything, but said directly. "As for the other plan you mentioned, it''s actually..." "Resurrect the strong man in history!" (End of chapter) Chapter 300 【Truth No. 008 Lady Tranquility】 Chapter 300 [Truth No. 008Mrs. Serenity] "Huh? Resurrection... a strong man from history?" Even with Xia En''s determination, the first time he heard this sentence, he couldn''t help but wonder if he heard it wrong. After all, no matter how you look at it, it is too shocking. "Speaking of resurrection is a bit inaccurate." "After all, the bodies and souls of those ancient powerful men have been obliterated over a long period of time." Jane continued: "[The Truth Society]''s plan is actually to collect the data of those strong people and clone their bodies based on historical fragments and projections in the promotion ritual." "Finally, the woven memories are injected into these blank bodies to revive them." "Can it be regarded as a different kind of ''resurrection''?" There was a hint of mockery in Jane''s tone. Obviously, she didn''t like this method of resurrection very much, and she was even a little disgusted. Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of Edward who appeared in the [Pirate Principality] ritual. To be precise, it should be the personality slice called the "Observer". Xia En was previously curious as to why he called himself "Observer" at that time. But now that I think about it, it seems that his purpose in entering the promotion ritual was to collect Augustine''s data during observation! Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly felt creepy. Obviously, his promotion ritual was by no means an exception. The [Observer] must have broken into similar promotion dungeons more than once, secretly peeping at Augustine again and again, and collecting various information from his actions. Moreover, the [Observer]''s objects of observation are not only Augustine, but also those powerful figures who dominate an era. How many times has the [Truth Society] done this kind of action? How many powerful people''s data have been completely collected by them? The most important thing is, has the [Truth Society] "resurrected" these people in this era? Just thinking about these questions, Xia En felt a chill in his heart. In fact, the plan of the [Truth Society] is filled with a sense of blasphemy that disregards life and personality and plays with memory. This feeling is not as direct as the **** rituals of the sect, but it is still evil that goes against human nature. Do these guys think of themselves as creators? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s worry, Jane said, "Don''t be so nervous." "As far as I know, this plan of the [Truth Society] did not go so well." "Even if sufficient data is collected, the final personality will be strangely shifted due to unknown reasons." "Not only that, the cloned body cannot truly reach the level in history." "However, they should have produced a batch of semi-finished products..." Xia En couldn''t help but ask: "What is a semi-finished product?" Jane patiently explained: "The [Truth Society] deliberately retained only the fighting skills of certain strong men and input them into the bodies prepared in advance." "Although they don''t have the memory of the strong men in history, their combat prowess is equally impressive. They can be called natural fighting machines." "Previously, when [Truth Society] and [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect] clashed, they relied on this batch of semi-finished products to withstand the opponent''s offensive." Xia En looked astonished: "So that''s it..." He had previously found it strange that most of the members of the [Truth Society] were scientists, and they might all have amazing talents in their respective fields, but in the field of combat they were often no match for the Mystics of the same level. How did this [Truth Society] persist under the siege of the two major esoteric sects? Now, after hearing Jane''s explanation, Xia En had the answer in his heart. This series of explosive information undoubtedly brought a great impact to Xia En. It took him some time to silently digest these secrets and remember them in the deepest part of his mind. But soon, Xia En remembered something again. Some of this information is obviously not accessible to the middle and lower-level members of the [Truth Society]. So, who is Jane who knows such detailed information? Xia En asked Jane directly his doubts. Jane did not hide it, but said in a slightly nostalgic tone: "Before I left the [Truth Society], my name was -" "[Truth Serial Number.008Mrs. Serenity]" "[Mrs. Tranquility]..." Xia En subconsciously repeated the name, vaguely aware of some past events that should not be mentioned. What made him even more stunned was that Jane''s [Truth Serial Number] was actually NO.008! You know, the [Thousand Changer] who boarded the [Black Swan] and forced Xia En into the whirlpool in the sea, his code name is [Truth No. 107 - Gray Mask]! One is ranked after one hundred, and the other is in the top ten. The difference is clear at a glance. In other words, in the [Truth Society], there are only seven more core members than Jane! This can probably be regarded as a conversation between Xia En and the core members of the [Truth Society]. Xia En couldn''t help but be curious: "Do you know what the [Truth Serial Number] of [The Undertaker] is?" After thinking about it, Jane said: "[The Undertaker] should be the rising star after I quit the [Truth Society]." "I have also heard about him. The situation is very complicated and he can no longer be regarded as an independent individual." "His [Truth Serial Number] should be around the first thirty." At this point, Jane said solemnly: "There is one thing I must remind you." "Although the number of [Truth Serial Number] is very important in [Truth Society], it does not represent the ranking of strength, but a comprehensive number of each member''s uniqueness and joining time." "Don''t underestimate the combat power of some members just because they are ranked low." Xia En nodded seriously and said, "I understand, thank you for reminding me." After going around in such a big circle, Xia En remembered the question he asked Jane in the first place. "Why do you say that someone asked you to wait for me here, but you don''t remember who that person is?" Jane said: "You should know that the [Truth Society] has the technology to delete and add memories." "And the person who deleted the memories related to it is none other than myself!" "Perhaps it''s because... that memory may have been invaded by some existence, or maybe that memory will change some of my views on you?" "Either way, there must be a reason behind it." The old woman''s words were filled with unparalleled confidence, which was trust in herself and her past self. Xia En couldn''t help but admire Jane''s mentality. Even though most of her memory about this incident has been erased, she is still willing to wait persistently in the [Federal Library] without wavering at all after hundreds of years. How can ordinary people do such a thing? However, Xia En was still very curious about Jane''s origins, so he asked. "Do you remember the names of your elders?" Jane replied: "Of course." "My father''s name is Jonas Medeiros and my mother''s name is Grace Vivian." "My grandmother''s name is Angel Vivian..." When he heard the name "Anqi", Xia En''s expression suddenly changed. "Angel Vivian?!" Although Xia En was not particularly impressed, he still remembered that he had met a genuine elf princess on the Emerald Island in the past. Her name is An Qi! Angel and Laila should be considered cousins. And the reason why Xia En cares so much is... If Angel is still alive, doesn''t it mean that there is a possibility that Laila is still alive? Thinking of this, Xia En asked with a slightly anxious tone. "Is your grandmother, Angel Vivian, a princess of the elves?" Surprise flashed through Jane''s cloudy eyes again: "Yes." "But... how did you know about this?" "It is said that my maternal grandmother remained anonymous for a long time, and even my father only knew her identity as an elf princess when we parted ways..." Shane noticed the emphasis in Jane''s words. "When they were separated? Why did your father and grandmother separate?" Jane shook her head and said, "I don''t know either." With a wry smile on her face, she confessed: "Actually, I have never met my grandmother and my mother." "Everything about them was relayed to me by my father." "However, my father was just an ordinary human being, so he passed away long ago." Xia En looked surprised: "It''s actually like this..." This situation was something he had never expected. Jane didn''t seem to want to continue this topic, so she cut to the chase and said, "In my only remaining memory, a certain existence asked me to wait in the [Federal Great Library] for a human who has close ties with the elves." "And you are the one I want to wait for." "After waiting for you, you will bring three incomplete sentences, and I will interpret them for you." "Do you know...what those three sentences are?" "...Three sentences?" Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he remembered the messages on the last page of [Laila''s Magic Notes], and read them out slowly. "[The history you think...may not be the real history...]" "[What is observed...cannot be changed...]" "[But, you can cheat...]" These three messages had puzzled Xia En for a long time. They were full of the Riddler''s annoying aura, and they were difficult to decipher because of the incomplete information. So Xia En had to bury them in his heart for the time being. Now after being reminded by Jian, he poured out these three sentences. After listening, Jian sighed quietly: "It seems that my guess is indeed right." Shane asked: "What guess?" "When I was a child, my father said that my mother and grandmother did not die, they just went to places far, far away." Jane said in a complicated tone: "I used to think that my father said that just to coax me, but now that I think about it, maybe it was more than just a white lie." "ah?" Xia En was stunned, a little in disbelief: "You mean, they are still alive?" Jane nodded: "Based on my research and investigation over the years, it should be like this." Xia En was a little confused for a moment. If Angel and Jane''s mother were still alive, why did they leave the still young Jane? So, where are they now? And, what does this have to do with these three sentences? Jane''s eyes seemed to have the power to see through people''s hearts, and she explained softly: "The history we think of is not necessarily the real history." "This sentence is easy to understand." "History is recorded by people, so there will inevitably be some deviations in the process of recording and inheritance." "Some things have different interpretations in the eyes of different people." "And the best supporting example for this statement is... the [Ancient Dragon Extinction] incident." "You''re right...wait a minute, [Ancient Dragon Extinction]???" Xia En still agreed with Jane''s first few words, but when he suddenly heard the last sentence, he couldn''t help but look confused. How are the two connected? Xia En''s brain was spinning rapidly, and he quickly thought of a possibility and murmured. "Could it be that [the ancient dragon is extinct] actually has a hidden agenda?" "That''s right." Jian said with great certainty: "In other words, the [ancient dragon is extinct] in the eyes of the world is just a huge fallacy." Xia En had calmed down by now and asked seriously. "Why do you say that?" "In the eyes of the world, the reason why we came to the conclusion that [the ancient dragon is extinct] is because there has been no trace of the ancient dragon in the Seven Seas for many years." "But in fact, this does not mean that all ancient dragons have died out." Jian analyzed it layer by layer. "Just like Federal Chief Wayne Moriarty, although he has not appeared in the Federation for a long time, few people think that he is really dead." Xia En has a different view on this: "But if there is no longer an ancient dragon in the Seven Seas, wouldn''t it be no different from extinction?" "You should take a longer view." Jane said: "In addition to the world where Qihai is located, there are many [secret realms] in the [Secret Sea]." "After years of federal investigation, it has been confirmed that there is a [secret realm] where a large number of ancient dragons live." "The shapes and bloodlines of those ancient dragons are the same as those of the ancient dragons in the Seven Seas, and they are even more powerful." "The entire population is extremely large and can be called prosperous." "That [Secret Realm] was named [Dragon''s Nest] by us!" Hearing this, Xia En''s eyes changed slightly and he murmured: "[Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm]?" Jane''s words were like waking up someone from a dream, causing Xia En''s thoughts to broaden instantly, and he thought of places he had never thought of before. "What you mean is that the ancient dragons on the Seven Seas are actually not extinct at all." "Just before a certain disaster struck, they all moved to the [Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm]?" Jane nodded: "Yes, that''s what I mean." Yes, since the dwarf tribe back then could migrate to the [Forge Secret Realm]. So why can''t the more powerful ancient dragon clan go to other [secret realms] to survive? Xia En''s mind suddenly became enlightened. Some of the doubts from the past disappeared like fog. And soon, he thought of a possibility. Since dwarves and ancient dragons are like this, what about... the elves? (End of chapter) Chapter 301 [Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual (Introduction)] Chapter 301 [Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual (Introduction)] Jane''s interpretation of this sentence seemed to open a door to a new world for Xia En, and his thoughts quickly diverged. Previously, due to rumors in the Seven Seas and the extremely rare status of the ancient dragon and elves races. Shane once thought they were extinct long ago. It wasn''t until Jane''s words that Shane realized another possibility - Back then, when faced with some kind of irresistible disaster, these two races did not fight head-on, but chose to escape! The destination of escape is the other [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea]. Give an inappropriate example. This is like the "Fire Project" in which a group of people took a spaceship to go to another habitable planet when the world was facing the end of the world in the previous life. Shane was naturally curious about how they came up with this plan and how they implemented it. But what concerned him more was that if this conjecture was true, wouldn''t it mean... Laila is still alive? Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but jump up and down. To be honest, after returning from the [City of Giant Woods] in history last time, he had already prepared the most pessimistic plan in his mind. After all, judging from the information that Shane had collected in the past. The enemy the elves faced was unprecedentedly powerful, and there was almost no possibility of victory. The disappearance of the elves in the modern Seven Seas proves "the defeat of the elves." So for a long time, Shane thought that he would never see Laila again. It was only now that Xia En had some hope again in his heart. At this moment, he also understood the meaning of "mother and grandmother went to a place far, far away" in Jane''s words. They are no longer in the same world, and there is still a [secret sea] between them. Isn''t that a very, very far away place? Soon, Xia En couldn''t help but ask again. "Then may I ask...what do the remaining two sentences mean?" After thinking about it, Jian said, "I''m not sure about the meaning of the last two sentences. I can only tell you my guesses, and you can just listen to them." "I wonder if you''ve ever heard of...the observer effect?" Xia En replied honestly: "I have heard a little bit." "When we observe something, we will inevitably have an impact on it." "Combining the first of the three sentences, it is not difficult to guess that the object being observed is ''history''!" Jane is worthy of being the eighth former member of the "Truth Society" in the "Truth Serial Number", and she speaks very logically. At the same time, she did not jump to conclusions, but said cautiously. "Then what this sentence means is that history cannot be changed after it is observed." "It''s just that the key is...who is this observer?" A little confusion appeared in Jian''s wise eyes: "Is it a specific person, the will of the world, or some other existence?" "Moreover, changing history...even in the [Truth Society], no one has truly achieved this." After hearing these words, Xia En''s heart was filled with turmoil again. The reason why Jane had some difficulty understanding this sentence and had so many doubts was simple. She did not personally travel back in time and subconsciously believed that "changing history" was impossible. But Xia En is different. He has gone back to the past more than once to communicate and get along with those historical figures in person. Therefore, Xia En felt more about this sentence and thought to himself. "The observed history cannot be changed..." "Does the observer here refer to myself?" "And the other meaning of this sentence is that history that has not been observed can be changed?" Since the world around Shane had not changed at all after these two returns, he once felt that everything he did was in vain. But after seeing this sentence, his thoughts changed slightly. And soon, Xia En thought of a verification method. He asked Jane: "Is there any information about the magic pattern master Carmen or the steam mechanic Thomas in the big library?" "Carmen, Thomas?" Jane was a little surprised when she heard these two names, but she didn''t ask any more questions, but said directly. "Yes, this is the [Federal Library]!" "Just a moment please." With that said, Jane walked out of the secret room and looked for relevant books for Xia En. Not long after, Jane came to Xia En with a thick stack of information and asked. "What do you want to know about them?" Xia En said bluntly: "Personal biographies and diaries are best recorded when participating in the [Congress of All Nations] held by the elves." Jane gave Xia En a meaningful look. An ordinary captain would not know that the elves held a [Congress of All Nations] in the past. In fact, Jane knows this because she has stayed in the big library for too long and has long memorized all the major events that happened in history. "It''s too inefficient for you to read it alone. I''m here to help you." As soon as she finished speaking, Jane''s eyes suddenly lit up with several indescribably complicated runes. As the runes rotated, the books floated into the air on their own without any wind. Immediately afterwards, the pages of each book began to turn by themselves, as if there were invisible hands, turning each page gently and quickly. At the same time, there was a faint light emerging from the ancient books. Does it feel like it''s being scanned? Jane even had the energy to explain to Shane: "This is a very simple little spell." I can search the texts in these books based on the information I want. "For the position of librarian, it should be considered very practical, right?" Xia En was secretly speechless. Although the administrator claimed that she was not good at fighting, if it were a real life-and-death fight, Xia En would not even have a chance of winning against her. In less than a moment, all the books fell back to their original positions and the light shrank. And Jane also closed her eyes, as if digesting the information obtained from the book. Soon, Jane opened her eyes, and silver light flashed from her eyes. "Found it." She took out a book from the stack, turned it to one of the pages, and handed it to Shane. "This book is called ''My Friend Carmen''. It is a biography written by his friend. It records his experience in the [Congress of Nations]." Shane''s eyes fell on the yellowed pages of the book. [Undoubtedly, the most important turning point in Carmens life was seeing the magic patterns used by the elves during the Conference of All Nations. [At that time, Carmen was deeply amazed and shocked by the beauty of this technology, and made up his mind to start from scratch and enter this new field. To be honest, several other companions and I were not very optimistic about this decision, so much so that Carmen himself was shaken, but he finally chose to stick to it. [Afterwards, according to Carmen himself, just when he was about to give up, he seemed to hear the persuasion of a man in black robes. [He said, "How will you know if you don''t try?"] [It was precisely because of these simple words that gave Carmen the courage to persist. However, in the end, he did not know the identity of the man in black robe and could not thank him in person. [This also became one of Carmens regrets in her later years. [Perhaps, that is the revelation of fate...] Jane looked at Xia En with a strange look in her eyes and said. "Not only this "My Friend Carmen", but also a mysterious man in black robes appeared in Thomas''s diary." "Moreover, after Thomas became famous, he launched a missing person notice in the Southern Continent, saying that the man in black robe had changed his life and was his life-long benefactor. He should repay him well." The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly: "Is there such a thing?" If you think about it carefully, with the character Thomas showed during the contact at that time, it is really possible for him to do such a nonsensical thing. But after hearing this, it no longer makes much sense whether or not to read Thomas''s diary. Because both Carmen and Thomas obviously still remember themselves! This is enough to prove- History has been changed! Xia En was very excited. Although the magnitude of this change was not large and it did not affect the final result, the mere act of "changing history" is a feat! After thinking deeply for a moment, Xia En had some vague guesses about the "unobserved history". Before going back to the past, he only knew that Carmen and Thomas later became masters of magic patterns and developers of [Heart of Steam], but he did not know the specific process. And his actions made him an important turning point in the lives of these two people. In the original history, this is probably something that has never happened. "But what does the last sentence ''can be deceived'' mean?" One question was solved, and another one followed. Fortunately, there is Jane beside Xia En. This old woman who had lived for a long time had obviously seen something, but she was considerate and did not ask questions, but answered. "I think these three sentences should be read together." "The history we think may not be true history, but false history is not necessarily meaningless." "For example, [the extinction of ancient dragons] may have successfully deceived certain entities, causing the disaster that should have come not to come." "The disappearance of the elves may have a similar reason." Xia En chewed these words silently. He felt that there was some truth to Jane''s guess, but it might not be Laila''s real intention in leaving these three sentences to herself. No matter what, just this conversation with Jane made Xia En feel that his trip was worthwhile and fruitful. The goal of coming to [Liu Li Island] this time has been more than half accomplished. However, Xia En did not forget his other purpose of coming to the [Federal Library]. "Ms. Jane, is there any spell in the Great Library that can realize material transmission and personnel transmission between two [secret realms]?" Hearing Xia En''s request, Jane''s face flashed with surprise. "You really asked the right person." "Actually... my main research direction in the [Truth Society] was the connection between different [secret realms]." Her expression quickly became serious: "First of all, I have to ask you, is the [Secret Realm] you want to connect to far from the [Seven Seas World]?" Facing Jane who was in a serious state, Xia En felt a little frightened for no reason, and answered honestly: "It should be considered relatively far." "Then conventional methods won''t work." Jane showed the research attitude of a master in the field of [Secret Realm] and said eloquently: "Generally speaking, for short-distance [Secret Realm], it is most practical to directly cut a crack and establish a portal." "But if it is a long-distance [Secret Realm], you must first set up an [Anchor Point] at the target [Secret Realm]..." Two hours later. Xia En held on to the wall and left the secret room dizzy. He felt like he was back in college, taking a cutting-edge course taught by a professor, and moreover, he was not in his major! Not falling asleep within three minutes was already the result of his amazing willpower. Fortunately, such efforts are not without rewards. [You have been taught by Jane Vivian! [Acquisition Skill: Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual (Getting Started)! Considering that Xia En had not studied the relevant [Secret Realm] knowledge in depth, Jane deliberately chose a relatively simple teleportation ritual. In Jane''s words, this is a ritual arrangement method that even orcs can learn! However, the ritual itself is simple, but the materials required are not simple. In the simple list, seven out of ten materials were unknown to him, and some of them he had never even heard of. As you can imagine, their prices will not be cheap. Especially on a prosperous island like [Liu Li Island] where land is at a premium, some products may be even more expensive! This made Xia En feel a little worried about his wallet. To be honest, Xia En hasn''t had a few decent incomes since the [Magnetic Sea Area]. Before boarding [Liu Li Island], he scuttled two vampire warships, but he had no time to search them. "That''s all my money..." The more Xia En thought about it, the more distressed he became, so he charged this debt to the vampire again. "In case the Golden Dragon Coins are not enough, we can only sell the supplies in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "Those novel species and the seeds in the [Ember Treasure] can also be exchanged for the Federation''s merits..." Xia En was just thinking about how to make money when he saw Daisy and her brother walking up to him. "Captain Shane, what is your relationship with Ms. Administrator?" Daisy stared at Xia En with curiosity, and glanced at the secret room behind her. She had long been interested in the secret room that existed in the urban legend of [Liu Li Island], but she had never seen the secret door open. Who would have thought that Xia En''s arrival this time would easily achieve this small goal. "What''s the relationship?" Xia En was a little strange. He didn''t know why the siblings were curious about this kind of thing, but he still said. "It''s probably a relationship that we have known each other for years." Alessio''s eyelids twitched and he couldn''t help complaining: "Friends at the end of the year?" "Isn''t it a bit too many years to forget?" (End of chapter) Chapter 302 【Chamber of Commerce Alliance】【Internal Auction】 Chapter 302 [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] [Internal Auction] "No matter what the relationship is, it''s my personal matter, right?" Shane glanced at Alessio slightly coldly and said. He was a little puzzled by the abnormal attitude of the Daisy siblings. Didn''t he just say a few more words to Jane? Why did the two siblings react so much? Daisy also realized that the behavior of the two of them had no "sense of boundaries", so she said sincerely. "Sorry, we were too abrupt." "But do you really not know the reputation of the administrator lady?" Shane looked strange. He knew much more than the Daisy siblings. He knew that Jane was a half-elf, that she was the granddaughter of the elf princess Angel, and even that she had been the [Lady Serenity] of the [Truth Society]. But how can such a thing be said casually? Xia En could only ask: "What kind of reputation?" "She is already a legendary figure on our [Liu Li Island]." Daisy looked carefully in the direction of the secret room, as if she was worried that Jane would hear her words. "Honestly, I have never seen the administrator lady be so enthusiastic about anyone, so I find it strange." "By the way, you''ve heard of the prophecy of the second world-destroying flood, right?" "The S3 document was translated and cracked by the management lady!" Shane nodded: "Oh, I know." With the identity of "Mrs. Serenity" of the "Truth Society" at the forefront, translating such confidential documents does not seem to be a strange thing for Jane. The look in Daisy''s eyes became even stranger. Isnt Captain Shane too over-hearted? But at this time, Xia En didn''t want to dwell too much on this topic, so he simply spoke directly. "I want to purchase a batch of special extraordinary materials. I wonder if you have relevant channels?" "If the price is right, I''m willing to give you a reward as a thank you gift." Xia En is not familiar with the place on [Liu Li Island]. Instead of looking around like a headless fly, it is better to rely on the "local snakes" of Daisy and brother, and the efficiency will be greatly improved. When it came to serious matters, Daisy''s expression became serious and she asked. "Do you just want to buy, or do you have other goods to sell?" Both sell and buy. Xia En also thought clearly now. With his current net worth, it is obviously unrealistic to buy all the materials on this list. Moreover, the disaster of the second great flood is imminent. The supplies in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are just hoarding. It is better to liquidate them as soon as possible and use them to upgrade the hulls of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star]. Before heading to [Leng Lie Sea], improve his overall quality as much as possible. If there are ready-made resources, we should use them. Xia En didn''t want to end up in a sad situation where "the person dies but the money hasn''t been spent yet". Hearing this, Daisy touched her smooth chin and thought: "In that case, the internal auction held by the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] should be more suitable for you." "[Chamber of Commerce Alliance]? Internal auction?" This was the first time Xia En heard this statement, and he couldn''t help but feel curious. Daisi did not hide anything and explained: "The commercial trade of [Liu Li Island] is extremely developed. Even the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] cannot fully capture the transaction share of these ports." "Therefore, several chambers of commerce of different sizes were born on [Liu Li Island]." "However, the relationship between various chambers of commerce is not hostile. In addition to a certain degree of competition, they have established in-depth connections and cooperation." "The alliance formed by these chambers of commerce is the [Chambers of Commerce Alliance]." "In fact, many of the rules in various chambers of commerce in the Seven Seas are now formulated by the [Chambers of Commerce Alliance]." Xia En suddenly felt like he had learned a lot. In a highly developed commodity economy, it will indeed trigger changes in systems and organizations. It can only be said that [Liu Li Island] is indeed one of the most prosperous islands in the Federation, and there is always something new to do. Later, Xia En asked: "What about the internal auction?" "Because certain precious commodities are scarce and in short supply on the Seven Seas." "As insiders of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and big figures in the federation, they often have the right to make acquisitions first." Thats where the in-house auction came from. "These products will only enter the market after being rejected and will be open to general customers." Daisy''s attitude was very calm: "Only those with permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] are allowed to participate in this kind of auction." Xia En looked astonished, not too surprised by this. Privileged classes will exist in any era. The internal auction of the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] is prepared for these people. Thinking of this, Xia En was a little confused: "But I don''t have permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], how can I participate in this auction?" Daisy smiled slightly and said: "Actually, my family has some roots in [Liu Li Island], and we happen to have a few seats to participate in the internal auction." Hearing this, Xia En had no reaction, but Alessio looked at Daisy in surprise. "Sister? You..." The seats in the internal auction are not a piece of cake, even for their family, they are not something that can be borrowed casually. Daisy shook her head at Alessio, interrupting what he wanted to say. Alessio could tell from the sister''s eyes that she was serious, so he had no choice but to close his mouth unwillingly. Xia En raised his brows, but did not show any expression of joy, but instead felt a little wary. "Then may I ask, what is the price for borrowing this seat?" He is no longer the innocent and innocent boy he used to be, and he does not believe that there is any kind of kindness in the world without any reason. Especially the matter of borrowing the auction seat has obviously gone beyond the relationship of "Carles'' friend". Daisy was not angry about Xia En''s vigilance, but said it bluntly. "You can think of this as my investment in you on behalf of our family." "I am very optimistic about your future development and am willing to provide you with some help within my ability." "And if our family is in trouble in the future, please come to our aid." Xia En''s expression became even weirder: "Are you...sure?" Is this the request to lend a seat at the auction? This constraint can be said to be extremely loose, and it even depends entirely on Xia En''s own moral level. If he were a wolf-hearted scumbag, he might bite Daisy''s family back. Daisy nodded solemnly: "I''m sure." In fact, there is a deeper reason why Daisy made this decision - Not only did Carles believe in Shane, but even the administrator of the big library treated Shane differently. Daisy thought that her vision and structure were inferior to the two of them. Because of this, she was willing to trust the judgment of these two people. Since both of them value Xia En so much, if they add a little more chips, the loss won''t be too ugly, right? "If you still don''t believe it, why not make a contract and a letter?" "No, no need." Although he didn''t know what Daisy was thinking, Xia En did feel her sincerity and said directly. "Since you choose to trust me, I will naturally not let you down." After finalizing the general direction of cooperation, Xia En began to confirm many details of the auction. "Please prepare a warehouse where I will place the goods to be sold." "Beyond that, I hope you can help me contact a reliable federal official, preferably the staff member responsible for paleontology and emerging species." "I have important information and a batch of new species to exchange for achievements." Soon, in the face of Shane''s request, Daisy and Alessio also showed their shrewd and capable side. In fact, for being able to hold the position of captain in the waters near [Liu Li Island] at such a young age, this pair of siblings can already be regarded as the best among young people. Regardless of his figure, appearance, family background, or abilities, he is far ahead of his peers. Just comparing with Xia En, they looked a little lackluster. So much so that Daisy and both of them forgot that Shane was actually a few years younger than them. At the same time, the power of Daisy''s sister and brother''s family gradually came into play. All of Xia En''s needs can basically be met quickly. Some links that were easily stuck seemed to be cleared by an invisible hand and passed easily. If it were up to Xia En to handle it by himself, I don''t know how much time would be wasted. People have to sigh, the taste of power is indeed very wonderful. Only then did Shane know that Daisys full name was Daisy Moriarty! The family of their siblings is the Moriarty family! And the legendary chief of the federation was the first generation head of this family. No wonder Daisy''s tone was a little strange when she mentioned Wayne Moriarty earlier, and she even called him "old man". Come to think of it, the descendants of the Moriarty family probably have very complicated feelings about this elusive ancestor. On the one hand, they don''t want Wayne to be dead. But on the other hand, if Wayne is not dead, why not come to the family to say that he is safe? At least let their family members have an idea. This feeling of being neither up nor down is even more uncomfortable. However, this is a family matter of the Moriarty family, and Shane neither cares nor is he qualified to care. It didn''t take long. Xia En received his first meritorious service from the federal government. A full 500 points. This huge amount of money came from the intelligence provided by Shane to the Federation. Including the location of [Coral City] and [Ember Treasure], a detailed treasure map, and the specific situation in [Ember Treasure]. This is a decision that Shane made after careful consideration. In terms of profit, it would definitely be greater if he unearthed the treasure himself and then handed those ancient plant seeds to the Federation. But under the current situation, there was not enough time for Xia En to do this. Disaster is coming. The worst-case scenario is that after the disaster, the [Ember Shelter] is directly destroyed. Wouldnt it be a waste of effort? And according to that federal official. This contribution is just a "down payment" for intelligence. The Federation has special information transmission methods, and it is completely possible to directly notify the Federation Navy closest to [Coral City] to salvage it. After verifying the authenticity of the information provided by Xia En, the Federation will award another meritorious service based on the type and quantity of seeds in the [Ember Sanctuary]. This is already a more humane approach. Shane guessed that there might be something behind this that was the result of the Moriarty family''s operations. Not long after. Shane took the federal official to the warehouse. Just now, he brought more than a dozen unique animals and plants from the [Rhine Secret Realm] to the warehouse. In addition, there are also secret specialties like [Rhine Mine]. Xia En mainly wanted to estimate the value of these materials so that he could easily choose the main products for sale. The federal official is a capable woman with short black hair, black-rimmed glasses and an ordinary appearance. In the previous exchanges about [Ember Treasure], her mood has been very stable, she was not overly surprised, and she showed extremely high professionalism. Coupled with the recommendation of Daisy''s brother and sister, Shane has regarded her as a reliable partner, so he brought her to this warehouse. However, as soon as he entered the warehouse door and saw several small animals inside, the liaison officer''s eyes suddenly lit up and his face flushed with excitement. She quickly walked up to an animal that looked like a rabbit but had a pair of sharp horns. She moved her hands up and down, weighed it, and even seemed to have touched the rabbit''s bell. She muttered: "The hair is highly similar to that of an ordinary hare...the eyes are dark brown..." "The density of muscles and bones is about 1.5 times. The gravity environment of life is different..." "The reproductive system is sound...it is currently impossible to confirm whether there is reproductive isolation. It is best to conduct special tests..." The rabbit huddled up in a ball, its furry body trembling. It was like a little girl who had been stripped naked by a big man. She could only passively bear everything and looked very pitiful. Shane looked at Daisy next to him with a strange expression: "What''s wrong with her?" Daisy was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Actually, Sophie is quite normal." "It''s just that she used to be a researcher at the Institute of Biology, and she has a very high passion for these animals." While speaking, Daisy''s eyes fell on the things displayed in the warehouse. Just looking around, her eyes couldn''t help but flash with something special. These items may not be particularly exaggerated in terms of quality, but without exception, they are all things that Daisy has never seen before. This is very incredible. You know, Daisy has been helping out in the family business association since she was eight years old. In terms of knowledge about various goods and materials, it can be said to be a vast amount. But now these materials or creatures are all filled with a sense of strangeness and freshness. It looked somewhat similar to what she knew, but there was a more fundamental difference underneath. It''s almost like... The existence of another world. Daisy looked at Xia En with strange eyes, and her curiosity continued to expand. Where did these things come from? In her eyes, Xia En''s image became more and more mysterious. (End of chapter) Chapter 303 [Rhinestone Essence], smoke bombs and agents Chapter 303 [Rhinestone Essence], smoke bombs and agents Although Sophie, the federal liaison officer, somewhat lost her mind when facing these novel species. But she is a trained professional after all. Sophie quickly adjusted her mentality and got into working mode to evaluate these specialties of [Rhineland Secret Realm]. "Hmm... This kind of gem is fragile, loose in structure, and contains very little secret power." "Some are similar to the green grass-grade gemstones produced on [Gem Island]. Their ornamental value is greater than their use value. They can probably be classified as Class D commodities..." Sophie put down a green gem in her hand, turned to look at the several items of goods next to her, and commented on them one by one. "This kind of silvery sand is similar to the [Star Sand] on the Seven Seas, but it has a strange vitality. It also belongs to the category of D-level products." "There is also this wild boar-like creature. The meat is very firm and contains rich vitality. It is considered a good food." "If it undergoes large-scale domestication, it can be rated as a C-level product, but if not, it will only be a D-level product..." "The scales on a certain creature have considerable defensive properties and a special internal structure. They are of research value. They are grade C!" "Special herbal medicines, the specific efficacy can only be judged after testing..." I have to say that Sophie''s professional level is indeed excellent. You can judge the specific effects of many products just by weighing them in your hands. The efficiency is so high that it is jaw-dropping. On the side, Daisy explained to Xia En: "Sophie''s secret profession is a very niche [appraiser]. It is said that there are only a dozen or so people in the entire federation." "That''s why the goods can be identified so quickly." Xia En nodded clearly: "That''s it." The various secret techniques of the Mystic Path have long been infiltrated into the production and life of people in this world. It is normal to have such secret techniques of identification. As for the "C-level and D-level" in Sophie''s mouth, Xia En also learned about the general situation from Daisy. Due to the developed commercial trade of [Liu Li Island], the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] classifies most of the commodities to estimate the approximate value of the commodities. In fact, the supplies moved from the [Rhine Secret Realm] are generally only between C-grade and D-grade, with a few of the two or three B-grade products. To be honest, Shane was not surprised by this result. Although the products in [Rhine Secret Realm] are things that have never been seen in the Seven Seas, with the size of the Seven Seas, you can always find some materials with similar properties. To put it simply, there are many alternatives. There are no irreplaceable features. As a result, even if they are very rare, it is difficult to sell them at a high price. Just like on some remote and barren islands, unique varieties of food can also be grown, but after the costs of transportation, planting, etc. are superimposed, it will naturally become very expensive. But its all food. Why cant people go to islands with large food production to buy it? Fortunately, the products in [Rhine Secret Realm] have another huge advantage. That''s...a huge amount! The [Rhine Secret Realm] is incredibly large, and until now, Xia En''s exploration rate is only 9.5%. The richness of the products there astonished him. Coupled with the day-to-day development and collection of the two major races, the Moon Yong Clan and the Tree People, a large number of various products have been accumulated in [Rhine City]. Some products are even measured in tons. In fact, the products that Xia En moved to the warehouse this time were less than one percent of the inventory he had in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Even if the price of a single piece is not high, as long as the quantity increases, you can still sell it for a good price. This is the confidence that having the entire [Rhine Secret Realm] behind him brings to Xia En! Moreover, in addition to these ordinary goods, there was one product that made Sophie look surprised. "This is" In Sophie''s eyes, it was a material that looked like crystal and metal. It was gray-white and gave people a silvery texture. There are many small pores on its surface, which seem to be undulating slightly, like human breathing. It is pulling in the mysterious power around it every moment. Sophie took the initiative to ask Shane: "Mr. Shane, what is this?" Shane replied: "This thing, which I named [Rhinestone Essence], is mined from the deepest part of the [Rhinestone] veins." As he spoke, he pointed to the gray-white stone next to the [Rhinestone Essence]: "That''s the [Rhinestone]." "[Rhinestone]...[Rhinestone Essence]..." Sophie silently repeated these two names, touched the two stones at the same time, and threw two [Identification Techniques]. Xia En didn''t know what Sophie had identified, but he could see that her expression was visibly excited and she murmured to herself. "High secret power affinity, light weight, extremely high hardness and toughness, and no problem with ductility... This is simply a natural material for making relics!" "A+ grade! This is definitely an A+ grade!" "Although this [Rhinestone] is not as outstanding, it is equivalent to a degraded version of it." "But if the volume is large enough, there is also a wide range of application space, and it will be at least a B-level product." At this time, Sophie''s eyes suddenly became extremely hot when she looked at Xia En, and she said sincerely. "To be honest, the Federation is currently trying to mass-produce standard relics and standard magic pattern equipment." "So there is a huge demand for this kind of secret-friendly materials. Mr. Shane, I wonder how much inventory you have on hand?" After thinking about it, Xia En said: "There are about ten pieces of [Rhinestone Essence] of the same size." "As for [Rhinestone], there is at least about a ton in stock." "A ton..." Hearing this amount, Sophie couldn''t help but widen her eyes. This much material is almost enough to build a boat! In fact, Xia En deliberately reported this to Shaoli. Just some time ago, Sha Jingjing of the [Yongyue Clan] discovered another vein of [Rhinestone]. A large amount of stone is collected every day, and then transported to [Rhine City] by tree men with natural supernatural powers. However, the construction of [Rhine City] itself also requires a large amount of [Rhinestone]. In addition, Xia En also wanted to keep part of the [Rhinestone Essence] to upgrade the two ships, so he did not report all his wealth. Even so, Sophie was also shocked. She said in shock: "Mr. Xia En, you shouldn''t have emptied a [Secret Realm], right?" Based on Sophie''s knowledge, she can naturally guess that these goods come from a [Secret Realm] different from [Seven Seas World]. However, no matter how rich her imagination was, she never imagined that Xia En would be the master of a vast [Secret Realm]! Shane did not refute Sophie''s guess, but seemed to acquiesce to this statement. After all, it is essential to be on guard against others. Before he is strong enough, it is better not to directly reveal that he has mastered the [Rhine Secret Realm]. And Sophie''s guess is undoubtedly a good smoke bomb. Of course, Xia En didn''t need to break this point. "Sorry, Mr. Shane, I lost my temper." Sophie gathered her emotions and continued: "The share of this transaction has exceeded my scope of authority. I have to communicate with my superiors before we can proceed with the next step of negotiation." "Can you please be patient for a moment?" "certainly." Xia En added: "But I have a request for the next transaction." At this time, Xia En had become a big supplier in Sophie''s eyes. Her attitude couldn''t help but become respectful, and she asked: "What is the request?" Shane said: "In the subsequent transactions, I will not come forward myself, but this Miss Daisy will do it for me." "And please also allocate 3% of the gold dragon coins or meritorious deeds obtained from the transaction as Miss Daisy''s reward." Hearing this, Daisy was stunned: "Huh?" "Captain Shane? What are you..." Xia En said seriously: "Miss Daisy, this is the reward you deserve." "I believe that friendship belongs to friendship and interests belong to interests." "The transactions we are going to make in the future are far more than this one. If we have to trouble you every time in the future and want to keep things flowing smoothly, naturally we cannot let you suffer a loss." "Actually, I think 3% remuneration seems a bit low. You can increase it to 5% if you want." This is Xia En reciprocating love. Now that Daisy has shown her sincerity, there is no need for him to lose this reliable ally because of stinginess. Interpersonal communication, comings and goings, will gradually deepen the friendship. Unilateral taking or giving is unhealthy. In fact, if Xia En was allowed to negotiate with people from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], the transaction fees collected would only be even higher than this! And, on the other hand, Xia En doesn''t want to show too much publicity on [Liu Li Island]. Especially when it comes to goods transactions in the [Rhine Secret Realm], he wants to live in seclusion behind the scenes and hide his identity. After all, even Sophie could tell that these products came from another [Secret Realm]. There are always some more powerful people who might guess the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Federal officials are relatively trustworthy and reliable, but those members of the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] may not be. In the face of interests, businessmen are often crazier than pirates! If the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm] is exposed, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble. This is why Shane asked Daisy to handle the transaction later. The Moriarty family itself is actually a solid protective umbrella, enough to block the prying eyes of many young people. Even if someone knew that the Moriarty family owned a [Secret Realm], no one would dare to challenge it. This part of the commission can be regarded as protection money given to the Moriarty family. This is of great benefit to both himself and the Moriarty family. In short, win-win! Daisy vaguely guessed Xia En''s intention, and nodded after thinking for a moment. "I see." She stretched out a slender hand and said openly: "Captain Xia En, happy to cooperate." Xia En held her hand: "It''s a pleasure to cooperate." Three days after that. Xia En stayed at Carles''s manor honestly, and occasionally took the crew to some facilities on [Liu Li Island] to hang out and sightsee. At the same time, he is waiting for Daisy to help him buy the materials on the list and sell the goods in the warehouse. The crew also needs entertainment. Living at sea for a long time can easily cause mental problems. At this time, it is actually necessary to take the crew to relax on [Liu Li Island] and enjoy the advanced cultural industries of [Liu Li Island]. In fact, not to mention Joey and the others, even Xia En was fascinated by the rich entertainment activities on [Liu Li Island]. Recorded videos played by projection relics, bustling theaters, and commercial streets that are beginning to take shape... So much so that Xia En thought for a moment that he had returned to the earth in his previous life. "It''s a pity that we don''t have mobile phones or computers." Xia En sighed secretly. When he first traveled through time, he was irritated for a while because he didn''t have a mobile phone, but later he gradually adapted to this kind of life. Of course, [Liu Li Island] also has developed custom industries. However, it would be inconvenient for Xia En and his crew to go to such an occasion. Another thing worth mentioning is. Carles'' popularity on [Liu Li Island] seems to be higher than Xia En expected. In addition to Daisy and her brother, Xia En also met several young people one after another, all of whom were highly curious about him. It seemed that he wanted to see who the man who had stolen Carles'' "heart" was. Think about it carefully. Needless to say, the particularity of Carles itself goes without saying. Her "father" is also the legendary strongman of the Federation - the captain of the [King], Gord. Carles'' status is certainly not low. In fact, judging from the size of this manor, Xia En has clearly realized this. Therefore, Carles must have known many children of big families on [Liu Li Island]. Some people may think that as long as they can get this cool and handsome armor, not only will their strength be greatly increased, but they can also get Gord''s support. But now, Xia En has taken away this opportunity, which will inevitably lead to the hostility of some people. However, as a piece of news spread, the attitudes of these family members became much calmer. That news is The [Black Swan] driven by Xia En fought its way out of the encirclement of five vampire warships before arriving at [Liu Li Island]. In the process, he even sank the [Black Rose] and [Wincheston] one after another! The place where these two ships sank is not far from [Liu Li Island], combined with the recent actions of the vampire ships. It is not difficult for people to judge that this news is true! If it were in ordinary sea areas, this kind of performance would be daunting. However, there are not a few ships with such a record on [Liu Li Island]. [Black Rose] and [Wincheston] are not particularly powerful warships. But Xia En, an outsider, could do such a thing on the first day he landed on the island. After all, it was not something ordinary people could do. Its obviously not enough to say that the reputation shocked [Liu Li Island], but at least it made many people remember the name of [Black Swan] and its captain. Just this evening. Daisy came to Xia En with a space ring and smiled. "Fortunately, all the materials you need are here." (End of chapter) Chapter 304 [Rhine City] Newborn, the resonance of the secret realm Chapter 304 [Rhine City] Newborn, Resonance of the Secret Realm "Miss Daisy, thank you for your hard work." Shane nodded and took the space ring handed over by Daisy. "Humph, it''s good to know that I worked hard." Daisy wiped her sweat and said with a hint of resentment: "You are very comfortable being the hands-off shopkeeper these days. You take the crew out to play every day." "I, on the other hand, not only want to participate in the auction, but also help you sell those goods..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that what he did was indeed a bit unkind. "But, if you are willing to spend one night with my sister, I won''t be able to forgive you." Daisy smiled charmingly and said half-truthfully. Judging from her appearance and figure, this statement is indeed very tempting and reveals an unspeakable charm. In the past few days, siblings Xia En and Daisy have gradually become familiar with each other. This hot-bodied woman seems to have grown up and dared to make such dirty jokes with him. Xia En smiled: "Do you have the courage? Are you really afraid that I will eat you?" A flash of panic and blush suddenly flashed across Daisy''s pretty face. Obviously, she likes to talk about sex, but in fact she may have almost no actual combat experience. "Okay, you have the guts to tease me, my sister." Daisy continued to speak harshly and joked: "I don''t care, your crew member is already a little restless, right?" Xia En also felt the resentful gaze of a certain silver-haired girl coming from behind him, so he stopped joking and said seriously. "Thank you for your hard work these days. You should have received your share of the merits and gold dragon coins, right?" "Of course." Daisy replied: "When did our Moriarty family ever do business at a loss?" To be honest, until now, Daisy still has a lot of surprise in her heart. She almost watched Xia En put batch after batch of goods into the warehouse, and it seemed that this was far from Xia En''s limit. If he wasn''t worried about investing too many goods at once, which would cause huge price fluctuations, Xia En could come up with more weird products. Looking at that posture, it really looks like a small [Secret Realm] has been hollowed out! Not to mention Shane himself, even Daisy, the agent, made a huge profit from this trade. The combined income from all the businesses she had done in the past was huge this time. Even their siblings'' evaluation among the Moriarty family has been improved as a result. It can be said that it has benefited a lot. In fact, Daisy also vaguely guessed that Xia En didn''t just loot a [Secret Realm]. Those living creatures can often only survive in special environments. If the [Secret Realm] was looted, I''m afraid these animals would be dying before they were transported to [Liu Li Island]. However, Daisy didn''t have any questions about Xia En''s secret thoughts, and she didn''t even show them. She just buried this guess deep in her heart. Just as Xia En said, there are still many opportunities for them to cooperate in the future! Why ruin their relationship over a little curiosity? It didn''t take long. Xia En sent Daisy away and counted the precious materials in the space ring. Looking at the extraordinary materials in this ring, Xia En felt both love and hate. Previously, when the first batch of transactions were completed, Xia En became suddenly rich, with total assets reaching 2,000 merit and 8,000 gold dragon coins. On [Liu Li Island], the purchasing power of merit is almost 10 times that of gold dragon coins, which is nearly 30,000 gold dragon coins. This money is a huge amount of money no matter where you put it. And this was even when Xia En still had a large amount of unsold goods. At that time, Xia En couldn''t help but sigh. No wonder so many novels like to write about the theme of traveling between two worlds. It is indeed easy to make a fortune by being a "bad guy" between the two worlds! It''s just that Xia En makes money quickly and spends money faster. [Liu Li Island] is one of the commercial and trade centers of the Federation. As long as you want to buy it, there are almost no goods that you cannot buy. Of course, the prices of some goods will naturally be ridiculously high. For example, Xia En learned from Daisy that someone actually sold a [Secret Realm] in this auction! Although it is a dilapidated small [Secret Realm] like the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], selling the [Secret Realm] itself is quite an exaggeration. This is something that some small places on the Seven Seas simply cannot imagine. Now, since Xia En has come to [Liu Li Island], he still has a large amount of funds at his disposal, so he must make good use of it. Therefore, in addition to the list given by Jane, Shane also purchased a batch of rare materials to be used to strengthen the [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan]. Not only that, the equipment and abilities of each crew member also need to be updated. For example, Joey''s staff and robe, props to strengthen An''s armor... The books and crowns of the Church of Storms are used to help Joey feel the authority of the Storm Goddess and gain stronger power. Skill books of various magic and martial arts - allow crew members to learn new fighting methods and face various situations more flexibly. The latest steam machinery, the new generation of [Steam Heart] - Feiya is as obsessed with such things as the dragon is with treasures. Even Xian Ge, who was still sleeping, and Miss Ghost, who usually had no sense of presence, received gifts from Xia En. A small dragon''s nest made of gold. A [Soul-fixing Pearl] that is said to make the soul body more stable. Plus the purchase of some furniture in the [Black Swan]. Although each item does not seem particularly expensive, when they are all added up, it becomes a huge amount of money that cannot be ignored. Otherwise, they always say that if you dont become a family, you dont know how expensive firewood and rice are! Now, even if Xia En is still working hard to make money these days, his total assets have dropped to 300 meritorious deeds and 1,000 gold dragon coins, for a total of about 4,000 gold dragon coins. It was even less than the deposit he had when he landed on [Liu Li Island]. However, Xia En felt that the money was well spent! At this time, the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] have begun to upgrade their hulls, but it will take a while to complete the upgrade. After the upgrade, Xia En''s overall quality will definitely soar again! It didn''t take long. After returning to his room, Xia En put one hand on his chest, and with a thought, a silver light door opened. Xia En stepped into it, and after feeling a little familiar dizziness, he came to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. As soon as he looked up, he saw the [Crimson Ancient Tree] that was growing more and more vigorously. Since this big tree absorbed the aftermath of Xia En''s promotion, its growth rate has skyrocketed again. In just ten days, he grew ten meters taller! Not only that, the texture of the bark of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] has also undergone subtle changes. From the original plant form, it becomes like some kind of special translucent crystal. You can even see through the epidermis the spreading and entangled tissues underneath like blood vessels. This seems to be a form that the [Crimson Ancient Tree] in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] has never had before. For this reason, Xia En also made a special trip to the [Federal Library] to check with Jane for information. Finally, he came up with a conjecture. It was as if Feiya''s bloodline had completed its transformation under the influence of [Crimson Reality]. So, wouldnt it be possible for this [Crimson Ancient Tree] to achieve atavistic evolution? Under the influence of the power of [Secret Sea], perhaps one day it can turn into the original [Crimson Mother Tree], causing bloodline suppression to most vampires. Of course, right now, the evolution of [Crimson Ancient Tree] has just begun. To reach the state that Shane expected, it may take at least decades or even hundreds of years of evolution. Even so, Xia En still has great expectations for this. In addition to the changes in the [Crimson Ancient Tree], Xia En looked farther away and saw a gray and white city that was very different from before. Compared with half a month ago, [Rhine City] has changed a lot. It has almost transformed from a hollow flower shelf into a liveable city. Of course, there is still a long way to go before it is officially completed, but it can already accommodate residents of both races. Considering that there might be huge races like tree people moving in in the future, Xia En made a request at the beginning of the planning and design of this city. That is...be big! The streets should be wide, and some important buildings should be accessible to tree people. Anyway, the [Rhine Secret Realm] is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no problem in setting aside a large area to build a city. The only people who had a harder time were the tree people who carried the stones and built the city. But compared to the previous life in [City of Giant Woods], although this kind of labor is hard, the days are more promising. It''s not like under the rule of the [Giant Wood God], you can live one day longer. Even if you linger on, you still feel that life is hopeless. Moreover, watching a home rise from the ground in their own hands is also a great sense of accomplishment for the residents living in [Rhine City]. Perhaps many years later, they can point to this huge city and say proudly to future generations. "This city was built in our hands!" It didn''t take long. Xia En''s arrival attracted the attention of the people of the Yongyue tribe next to the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. After all, this big tree has been regarded as the sacred tree of [Rhine City], and only very few people are allowed to get close to it. And the only one who will suddenly appear under the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is the great and benevolent Holy Son, the benefactor of the [Moon Yong Clan], and the [Lord of the Rhine] - Lord Xia En! "Lord Holy Son!" The first person to rush to Xia En''s side was none other than the lively Sha Jingjing. Her ears were raised high, her fluffy tail swung so fast that it seemed like an afterimage appeared, and she ran over quickly. If Xia En hadn''t stretched out a hand to stop him, Sha Jingjing might have pounced on him like a big domestic dog and washed his face with her tongue. Looking at Sha Jingjing''s sparkling eyes, Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. Such a beautiful girl, why did she become a husky? But think about it carefully. In the past, when she was on the Sand Island, Sha Jingjing, as a tribal saint, spent every day in fear and exhaustion in order to hunt for food and survive. But now that she has come to the [Rhine Secret Realm], the pressure of survival has been greatly reduced, and she does not need to make decisions on many things. Sha Jingjing''s life became more comfortable and her repressed nature was liberated, which led to such a big change. After thinking about this, Xia En understood Sha Jingjing. But at this time, Xia En took a closer look and found that her aura had increased a lot, and couldn''t help but be surprised. "Did you break through?" "yes." Sha Jingjing said happily: "I was running in the forest yesterday and found that I became stronger again! My training during this period must have taken effect." When she said this, the girl kept staring at Xia En intently. Those big watery eyes clearly seemed to be saying, "Praise me! Praise me!" Seeing this, Xia En had no choice but to stretch out his hand, touch Sha Jingjing''s head, and praise him at the same time. "Yes, you are great!" It has to be said that the Yongyue clan is indeed gifted. The path they took was not a regular secret path, but rather a rank path from an older era, and the improvement of the polyphonic songs was somewhat similar. Sometimes, it often only requires the accumulation of time and strength to be promoted, without the need to participate in the trials of promotion rituals. Sha Jingjing''s breakthrough obviously falls into this situation. Now, her combat power has firmly entered the fourth level, and she is considered a strong person in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. After enjoying Xia En''s "head-touching" reward, Sha Jingjing remembered one more thing and reported it excitedly. "By the way, Lord Xia En, the first newborn baby in [Rhine City] was born!" "Huh? Newborn?" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but look happy. The birth of a newborn is of great significance to the entire [Secret Realm]. This means that the population of [Secret Realm] has begun to gradually grow. With the population, there will be more labor force, and more territory can be opened up. Only then can they truly gain a foothold in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. "Yes, Aunt Martha was pregnant before moving to the [Rhine Secret Realm], and she just gave birth successfully this morning." Sha Jingjing continued: "By the way, Aunt Martha has another request." "What is the request?" Sha Jingjing hesitated for a moment, then said: "She hopes...the Holy Son can name her child." "In the past, it was the work of the high priest and the saint to give names to newborns." "But now, you are the master of this [Rhine Secret Realm]. I think no one is more qualified than you to name this first newborn." Xia En quickly understood what Sha Jingjing meant and nodded. "No problem, take me to Ms. Martha." Soon, Sha Jingjing brought Xia En to a house. "It''s the Holy Son!" "Martha! The Holy Son is here!" As Xia En walked over, the faces of the nearby Yongyue clan members showed expressions of excitement and aweXia En''s status in their minds was so high. Seeing Shane''s arrival, Martha, who was still lying on the bed and resting, immediately wanted to stand up and salute him. Xia En waved his hand: "You don''t have to be so restrained." Then, he looked at the baby in Martha''s arms and asked softly. "Is this child a boy or a girl?" "It''s a girl." "Then, let''s call her Index." When Xia En spit out this name, the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] on his chest beat suddenly. Then, an invisible wave spread. That seems to be... the resonance of the entire secret realm! (End of chapter) Chapter 305 The hidden danger of [Secret Realm] is that the beast tide is coming! Chapter 305: The hidden dangers of [Secret Realm], the beast tide is coming! When Shane said the name "Index", it was like throwing a pebble into the puddle. Invisible and illusory ripples began to ripple throughout the [Secret Realm]. Any creature with a keener sense of inspiration can feel the existence of these ripples. It seems that some kind of indescribable change is taking place in the [Secret Realm]. As the master of the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En has a deeper feeling about this. Something dawned on him. This ripple is the resonance between the matter of "naming a newborn" and the [Rhine Secret Realm]. This small matter alone would not have had an impact on the entire [Secret Realm]. But this matter is actually quite special. This is the first newborn of the Yongyue tribe in the [Rhine Secret Realm], and it was named by Xia En, the [Lord of the Rhine]. You know, in this world, the name itself has special power. Somehow, it was equivalent to Xia En helping the [Yue Ying Clan] to set up an [Anchor Point] in the [Rhine Secret Realm], which touched the will of the [Secret Realm]. To use a more fantasy term, it is the great road that fits this world. All in all, from now on, the fate of the [Moon-Yong Clan] will be closely linked to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. It also means that this race has officially become an ethnic group in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. At the same time, text flashed on the panel. [Exploration degree +3%! "Eh? Lord Holy Son..." After the invisible ripples dissipated, Sha Jingjing clenched her fists and said with some surprise. "It always feels like...my strength seems to have gotten a little stronger?" As a qualified warrior, Sha Jingjing has strong control over her body and is well aware of her own qualities. Thats why you can notice the changes in your body at the first time. Sha Jingjing was not the only one. Soon, the people of the Yongyue clan outside the house also heard exclamations of surprise. "I can jump higher and run faster!" "Holy Son, I actually made a breakthrough!" "What happened to that fluctuation just now? Is it a gift from Lord Xia En?" This statement was immediately affirmed by many tribesmen, and people agreed one after another. "Yes, that must be the gift of the Holy Son!" "Thank you to the Son! Praise the Son!" Such voices became more and more intense, even faintly carrying a hint of fanaticism. The corners of Xia En''s mouth trembled slightly, not knowing what to say. However, he probably guessed the reason why the people of the [Yongyue Clan] were strengthened to a certain extent. At this time, the [Yingyue Tribe] has been regarded as a member of the [Rhine Secret Realm], and will naturally receive some preferential treatment from [The Will of the Secret Realm]. The reasoning behind this is exactly the same as when Xia En was resisted by the [Secret Realm] in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. But at this time, Sha Jingjing clearly misunderstood something. She opened her eyes wide and murmured to herself. "Could it be that... giving birth to a child will make you stronger?" Soon, Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En and said excitedly: "Master Xia En, let''s have a baby too!" "I am in good health! The child I will give birth to will definitely be very healthy!" "Oh no, maybe we can have a few more children? At least five, six, seven or eight..." Hearing this, the corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched even more. Isnt this reason for having a child too hasty? Do you think children are wolf cubs who just need to be born and not taken care of? Even if Sha Jingjing is like this, Xia En can trick her into giving birth to a litter! Martha on the side couldn''t help but chuckle when she heard this. She used to be in Sha Jingjing''s tribe, so she has a very good relationship with Sha Jingjing. In Martha''s heart, she also hopes that Sha Jingjing can form a closer relationship with Lord Shengzi. On the one hand, they are both handsome and handsome, and they seem to be a perfect match. Sha Jingjing is a saint, and Xia En is a saint. In terms of status, they seem to be a match made in heaven. On the other hand, after the tree people moved into the [Rhine Secret Realm], Martha realized that other races would definitely enter the [Rhine Secret Realm] one after another in the future. As time goes by, conflicts, large and small, will definitely arise between different races. For example, the distribution of resources and territory. If Sha Jingjing can become Lord Xia En''s wife, perhaps Xia En will give preferential treatment to the [Yongyue Clan] because of this status. It''s better than those little vixens from other races climbing into the Holy Son''s bed first, right? Of course, Martha only dared to run these thoughts around in her head, but never said them out loud. Xia En didn''t know what Martha was thinking, but he just felt that basic education and physical education for the [Yongyue Clan] needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En said: "By the way, I also brought a batch of books with me this time, which are very suitable for enlightening young children." "Sha Jingjing, help me send it to [Rhine College] later and keep it carefully." "This matter is very important, do you understand?" The so-called [Rhine College] is the college that Xia En ordered the people of [Yongyue Clan] to establish in [Rhine City]. Xia En, who has past life experience, knows the importance of education very well. Especially when the [Yongyue Tribe] is still in a quite barbaric and ignorant stage. -With the harsh environment of [Island of Sand], it is obviously unrealistic to require [Yueyue Clan] to achieve such an in-depth education. They are better at fighting than studying. The experience passed down from generation to generation by high priests and saints is often more inclined to actual combat and some basic common sense. This kind of education method is of course understandable in [Sand Island], but when it comes to [Rhine Secret Realm], it should be changed according to local conditions. Otherwise, after [Rhine City] has grown, the [Moon-Yong Clan] will still be in a barbaric state, which is obviously unjustifiable, right? In fact, during this period, Xia En purchased a large number of books from [Liu Li Island] for this reason. Sha Jingjing heard the seriousness in Xia En''s words and nodded heavily. "I understand, I promise to complete the task!" But soon, Sha Jingjing asked in a low voice: "Master Shengzi, do you really not want to consider having a child with me first?" The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched even more, but he felt that talking to her would encourage this trend, so he simply turned his head and said to Martha. "I have another gift for her." He looked at the little baby girl in Martha''s arms and said softly. "This little girl will become the starting point of a new chapter for the [Moon-Yong Clan] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "I wish you can thrive and bring new vitality to [Rhine Secret Realm]." As he spoke, Shane stretched out his hand and placed a branch with a faint blood color on Index''s body. This branch naturally comes from the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. Of course, this is a section of branch that the ancient tree took the initiative to break apart after Xia En and the [Crimson Ancient Tree] exchanged their wills. Since it is regarded as a sacred tree by the [Yongyue Clan], the [Crimson Ancient Tree] also wants to provide for this newborn. Do something. The body of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is full of vitality, and carrying its branches around will help Index grow and develop. Not only that, because this [Crimson Ancient Tree] has never drawn blood, there is no negative emotions or dirty secret power in its body. On the contrary, its branches also have the effect of calming and concentrating the mind. Even when necessary, this branch can block one or two weak attacks for Index. It can be said to be a very high-quality protective charm. "Hey~~~" The little baby opened his eyes curiously and ignorantly. Perhaps out of instinct, she stretched out her little hand and took the initiative to grab the branch. The next moment. The branch suddenly softened and wrapped around Index''s wrist like a small snake, as if it had a life of its own. That was the remaining will of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] at work. Index didn''t feel scared either, instead she started laughing. "Is this... a branch of a sacred tree?" Seeing this scene, Martha couldn''t help but look happy, excited and grateful. "Thank you, Lord Holy Son!" "I will never forget your kindness." Judging from her posture, if it weren''t for the fact that she had just given birth, she might have wanted to kneel down and bow down. Shane quickly stopped Martha''s movements and said, "It''s just a small thing." "You have a good rest. I have other things to do, so I''ll leave first." Soon, Xia En and Sha Jingjing walked out of the room. The nearby Yongyue tribe members were still looking at him with awe, admiration, and gratitude. What''s more, he knelt down to him, his face full of enthusiasm, and he muttered words such as "Thank you to the Holy Son" and "Praise to the Holy Son". Shane looked strange. At this moment, he also realized another problem in [Rhine Secret Realm]. With Xia En''s various constructions of [Rhine City] and various measures for [Yueyong Clan], his reputation is getting higher and higher. However this leads to [Yongyue Tribe] seems to no longer regard Xia En as a person or a king, but as a god! In particular, Xia En is also the prophesied Holy Son of the [Yongyue Tribe]. It further deepens this trend of "deification". To be honest, Xia En didn''t know whether this situation was good or bad. In the short term, this will indeed help promote the various orders of Shane and facilitate the construction and management of [Rhine City]. But if things continue like this, there won''t be anything like the "Xia En Cult" or the "Son of the Holy Son Cult" in the future, right? Xia En didn''t know how to deal with this situation for the time being, so he could only take it one step at a time. Just as Shane was thinking about these questions in his mind. The former high priest of the Moon Yong Clan hurriedly walked over, his expression very solemn. "Lord Holy Son, I have important information to report!" This high priest is called Culuo. When Xia En is not in the [Rhine Secret Realm], most of the internal affairs of the [Yingyue Clan] are handled by him and Sha Jingjing together. It''s just that Sha Jingjing is more suitable for fighting than management, so Kuro is the real manager of the [Moon Wing Clan]. Shane has always trusted him and regarded him as a reliable helper. At this time, Kuro''s serious attitude was certainly not without purpose, indicating that the situation was definitely unusual. Soon, Xia En and Qrow came to a place where no other people were watching and asked. "What happened?" "Lord Holy Son, we found a lot of traces of wild beast activity in the forest outside [Rhine City]." Although Kuro was old, he acted resolutely and quickly reported the situation to Xia En. "They seem to be gathering together for some special reason, and they are gradually approaching the location of [Rhine City]." "Not only that, but there is also unknown restlessness deep in the mine we previously excavated." "I speculate that in the near future, there will be a terrible beast wave sweeping [Rhine City]! We must prepare in advance!" After hearing these words, Xia En also looked a little solemn. "Tide of beasts..." This situation was something he didn''t expect. In fact, during this period, their exploration and expansion of the [Rhine Secret Realm] went extremely smoothly. Although there are also powerful native creatures in the [Rhine Secret Realm], under the joint efforts of the [Moon Chanting Clan] and the Tree People, most of the creatures can only be hunted. This is the advantage of intelligent creatures. If you know how to cooperate and use tools, you can hunt down beasts that are stronger than yourself. Of course, there are some native creatures, even rough-skinned and thick-skinned trees people don''t want to mess with. Fortunately, these powerful creatures often have their own territory. Clow has sent people to draw a map near [Rhine City] and marked the territory of these powerful creatures as a "danger zone". Just dodge to continue exploring. However, what is going on with this sign of a beast tide? Shane frowned in thought while his eyes swept across the panel. [Secret Realm Exploration Degree: 12.5%! He had a vague feeling that this tide of beasts might be related to the increasing level of exploration in recent days. After thinking carefully, Xia En came to a guess - The exploration and construction of the [Moon Ying Tribe] and the Tree People in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are creating a new home for them. But for the native creatures in the [Secret Realm], this is not the case. Their living space has been compressed, and they are hunted and felled by these "invaders". Just like the Indians on earth in the previous life, not only were their homes invaded, but their entire race was also massacred. Therefore, the native creatures in the [Secret Realm] will naturally resist the [Yueyong Clan] and the tree people. And this tide of beasts is the embodiment of this will to resist. In fact, these native creatures themselves are already part of the [Will of the Secret Realm]. If outsiders want to truly gain a foothold in the [Rhine Secret Realm], they must defeat this part of the will to resist and gain more recognition. This beast tide is most likely just the beginning. Whenever Shane''s exploration level increases to a certain level, he will encounter a different disaster. Thinking about it this way, it''s a bit like "Heavenly Tribulation" in a fantasy worldview? Xia En gathered his thoughts and said to Kuro: "I will purchase a batch of new equipment and send it to [Rhine City] as soon as possible." "You also need to start building some fortifications, increase your scouting efforts, and be ready for war at any time." Kuro said in a deep voice: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" The news of the beast tide brought a faint sense of oppression to Xia En. But he knew that panic was meaningless. Only step-by-step actions could get through this crisis. After handling this matter, Xia En returned to the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and began to arrange the ritual taught by Jian. (End of chapter) Chapter 306 Re-enter [The Furnace Secret Realm] Chapter 306 Re-entering [The Furnace Secret Realm] The most important purpose of Xia En''s trip to the [Rhine Secret Realm] was to set up the [Base] for the [Secret Realm Teleportation Orbit]. From the beginning, Xia En decided to set up the [Base] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. The reason is simple. [Black Swan] After all, on the sea, especially when Xia En is fighting the enemy, he will encounter some dangers more or less. Among the extraordinary materials that make up the ritual, some of them are unstable in nature. If it is attacked by secret power, the entire ritual may collapse or even explode! Xia En didn''t dare to use the materials he spent a lot of money to buy like this. In comparison, the safety level of [Rhine Secret Realm] is much higher. Not only is the environment relatively stable, but also the [Moon Winging Clan] and the Tree People Clan serve as bodyguards. Of course, the premise is to survive the coming tide of beasts. It can be said that [Rhine Secret Realm] is a strong backing for Xia En in his adventures on the seven seas, which is equivalent to his rear area. It is most appropriate to set up the [Base] for the transmission ritual here. As for what is the so-called [base]? In fact, it is easy to understand. Jane once gave Shane a simple and easy-to-understand metaphor. The teleportation between two [secret realms] is like the fishing line and hook thrown from a fishing rod. The location of the "fishhook" is naturally the target [Secret Realm], also known simply as the [Anchor Point]. The fishing rod and the person holding the fishing rod are the [base] for transmitting the ritual, used to control the specific direction and coordinates of the entire ritual. It is also the core of the entire ritual. If you want the entire transmission process to remain stable, the [Base] must be strong enough and provide sufficient energy at all times. Moreover, after the [Base] is built, there is not only one fixed [Secret Realm] that can be connected. Instead, you can teleport between any [Secret Realm] that leaves an [Anchor Point]! This is why this [base] is so expensive. To be honest, after Shane heard Jane''s metaphor, his first thought was - Isnt this the secret sea of ??fishing? Although you are in the [Seven Seas World], you can connect to many [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea]. Such a mysterious and mysterious ritual is stunning even from Xia En''s perspective. Whether it is design ideas or concepts, they are almost an era ahead of the ordinary Mysteries of the Seven Seas! This can''t help but make Xia En deeply admire Jane''s knowledge again. [Truth Serial Number N0.008] is indeed well-deserved! With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Xia En''s hands continued to move at all, carefully arranging the [base] of the ritual. The outermost and most basic material is a crystal called [Magic Crystal], which serves as the cornerstone of the teleportation circle. After that, specific rules must be used to fill the gaps in the [Magic Crystal] with another rare extraordinary material [Void Essence]. Supplemented by the incense of [cypress essential oil], [benzoin essential oil] and [helichrysum essential oil], the lines with special meanings are drawn... After about two hours of complicated work. A completely new ritual formation appeared in front of Xia En. The appearance of this formation is somewhat similar to that of an altar. It is in the shape of a disk with an upward bulge in the center. Complex and mysterious runes surround it like stars over the moon. Just by looking at it, you can feel a secret power that is so abundant that it is almost overflowingthis is the power of money! With so many precious materials used, no matter how ordinary the magic circle is, it will become extraordinary. Not to mention, the magic circle itself was designed by a master figure. It is completely normal for him to be in such a magical state. "call" Xia En let out a long breath, a look of exhaustion flashed across his face. Arranging such a ritual array requires a high degree of concentration and no mistakes. The most important thing is that according to Jane, the entire process of arranging this ritual must be completed by Xia En himself! This seems to involve some kind of occult concept, which can only be truly mastered by Shane after he has personally processed the materials and built the ritual. In other words, only in order to be recognized by this ritual. Otherwise, there may be some slight gap between Xia En and the ritual, causing some errors in his operation of the ritual. For ordinary rituals, such deviations are innocuous. But the nature of the [Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual] determines that its accuracy requirements are extremely high. Even if there is only a slight error, the final result may be completely different, and it may even be impossible to locate the target secret realm. Therefore, with Xia En''s strong mental strength, he couldn''t help but feel a little tired after setting up the ritual. But right now, the [Base] for the transmission ritual is still in the final step before it is fully completed. Xia Enqiang cheered up, took a deep breath, and then walked to the center of the [pedestal]. Then, he cut his fingertips and dropped a drop of blood on the platform in the center of the [Base]. Buzz The next moment. The entire [Base] began to tremble slightly. The light of various secret powers lit up from the edge of the ritual track and rushed towards the center of the ritual track quickly. It''s like a big net woven with colorful brilliance! The glow continued to surge like a tide, and different secret powers merged and intertwined in the collision, bursting out a magnificent spectacle that ordinary people could not imagine. And Xia En is standing in the center of these thousands of rays of light! Sha Jingjing, who was waiting not far away, was the first to notice the change in this direction. She couldn''t help but pricked up her furry ears and looked over with a vigilant look. "Xia Enda..." Seeing that bright light, Sha Jingjing''s words stopped abruptly. She couldn''t help but widen her eyes and looked at this scene in surprise: "What a huge secret power..." "As expected of the Holy Son!" Intuition told Sha Jingjing that those secret powers would not cause any harm to Xia En, so she had no worries. Not only Sha Jingjing alone, but also the tree people in the distance and the people of the [Yongyue Clan] all noticed the emergence of this huge secret power. From their perspective, they could not see the magical magic circle. They could only see the brilliant and colorful light under the majestic and huge holy tree. It was as if a sun had fallen under the [Crimson Ancient Tree], emitting powerful fluctuations of mysterious power, making the entire sacred tree even more mysterious, causing people to exclaim in low exclamations. Somewhere in [Rhine City]. The tree man Mumu looked at the [Crimson Ancient Tree] in glory with fascination and murmured. "Grandpa Iris, is this also a miracle?" At this time, Iris had already returned to a healthy state. The bark was rough but rich in moisture, and the branches were full of vitality. Iris sighed softly: "This is probably... a miracle that only belongs to Lord Xia En." at the same time. Shane had no idea what was going on in the outside world. He is concentrating on gathering the scattered secret power. Within a short time, under the constraints of the pre-arranged rituals, the numerous secret powers gradually calmed down and reached a relatively balanced state. The chaotic light also converged, condensing into a light group the size of a baby''s head. Seeing this, Xia En knew that the [pedestal] had been set up. He extended his palm towards the light group. Not only did the ball of light not dodge, but it took the initiative to rub Xia En''s palm, vaguely conveying some intimacy. This is the effect of the last step of bleeding. That is equivalent to a master recognition ceremony, allowing Xia En to truly have control over this ritual in terms of soul and blood. Even if an outsider comes to this [base], they cannot perform any operations. Even if you destroy the formation, you will suffer the backlash of the ritual. This small protective function was also designed by Jian casually. After completing the establishment of the [Base], Xia En was not idle. By this time, the construction of the teleportation ritual was only half completed. What Xia En has to do next is to leave an [Anchor Point] in the [Furnace Secret Realm]. In fact, this is by no means an easy task, and it is not even something that can be done with money. Because the two [Secret Realms] are not connected yet, it is impossible for Xia En to bring the materials from [Seven Seas World] to [The Furnace Secret Realm] to build an [Anchor Point]. Fortunately, Xia En has already thought of a solution to this problem. Soon, he opened the panel and thought about it. "Submarine, start!" "Choose [Anchor Point] - [Furnace Secret Realm]!" The next moment. The scene before Xia En''s eyes changed. With the incoming hot air, he re-entered the [Furnace Secret Realm]. Xia En was currently in an excavated cave, and the light from the [Lava Mine] reflected the scene in the cave. The scene in [The Furnace Secret Realm] is not much different from before. But soon, Shane noticed that there were several huge footprints not far from his hiding place. Obviously, those are the traces left by [Fire]. "You almost found me?" Xia En touched his chin and guessed: "I''m afraid this is also a manifestation of [Secret Will]''s hostility, right?" His luck in the [Forge Secret Realm] has always been very bad, which is in sharp contrast to the situation in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. To say that there is no influence of [Secret Realm Will] is obviously to deceive oneself and others. "Looks like I have to find a safer place next time." While Xia En was thinking this, he followed the path in his memory and walked in the direction of the [Warhammer Tribe]. In fact, this is not the second time he has come to the [Furnace Secret Realm]. After defeating the [Fierce Lizard King] that time, Xia En entered this [Secret Realm] one after another. Among them, he also went back to the [Warhammer Tribe] to explain that he did not die in the battle, but was just "cultivating in seclusion." Xia En''s victory over the [Fire Lizard King] shocked all the dwarves in the [Warhammer Tribe] - no one in their tribe had been able to kill a [Fire Lizard King] for at least decades. As a result, Xia En has undoubtedly become the number one warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe], with extremely high prestige. With such a high reputation, Xia En naturally wanted to take advantage of it. His plan to leave an [Anchor Point] in the [Furnace Secret Realm] is also related to this. This cave is not too far from [Warhammer Tribe]. Not long after, Xia En walked into the larger underground cavity. "Brother Bronzebeard, you are back!" When a young dwarf saw Xia En, he immediately waved and greeted excitedly: "By the way, the patriarch seems to have something to do with you!" "Go find him quickly!" Xia En nodded calmly: "Okay, I''ll go right away." He walked quickly towards the cave where the clan leader was. Along the way, the dwarves Xia En met all looked at him with awe and admiration. The living conditions in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are harsh. Therefore, the dwarves have a strong admiration for the strong, and the strong have a particularly high status in the tribe. Not to mention, Xia En defeated the [Fire Lizard King] on his own before, saving the [Warhammer Tribe] from being destroyed. Such achievements have made him a hero in the eyes of the dwarves! It can even be said that as long as Xia En wants to, he can become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] at a moment''s notice. However, when Xia En thought about it, he could be the patriarch, but it was not necessary. On the one hand, he is not the real "Bronzebeard Warhammer" after all, and there may be a risk of being exposed as time goes by. On the other hand, Xia En does not have that much energy to manage an entire [Warhammer Tribe]. It is impossible for him to use every [Sneak] opportunity in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Instead of being a dedicated patriarch, it is better to be an agent behind the scenes and make decisions at critical moments. While the thoughts in his heart were ups and downs, Xia En had already walked into the cave of the patriarch Hope. And as soon as he entered the cave, he saw someone he didn''t expect. "Bronzebeard!?" Kuhl, who had a beard, seemed startled, and his face turned pale: "Why are you back?" Xia En chuckled and said, "What? Can''t I come back?" Kull waved his hands in panic and said, "I...I didn''t mean that." Shane was actually not surprised by Kuhl''s reaction. He had already guessed that Bronzebeard''s death was probably inseparable from Kull. When facing him, Kull will inevitably have a guilty conscience. Furthermore, at this time, Xia En has become the number one warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe], and his strength and status are much higher than Kull. In Kull''s heart, he was afraid that he would be both afraid and tormented. And this is exactly what Xia En wants to see. Compared to killing Kuhl directly, living in fear every day is a greater punishment for him. And in fact, Kuhl is also a very important part of Shane''s plan. Therefore, Xia En did not take the initiative to expose Kuhl''s previous conspiracy, but pretended to be ignorant and allowed Kuhl to think wildly. At this time, he waved his hand and said, "I know you didn''t mean that." He turned to look at Hope beside him, changed the subject and said: "By the way, patriarch, I heard someone said that you have something to do with me?" Hope saw the expressions of Shane and Kull, but didn''t say anything more, but nodded in response. "Yes, there is indeed something very important." Shane asked: "What is it?" Hope looked serious and said: "The Savage Ax Tribe is about to go to war with us!" (End of chapter) Chapter 307 Calling the name of [Rhine]! Chapter 307 Calling the name of [Rhine]! "Barbarian Ax Tribe? Starting a war?" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. From these several experiences of entering the [Forge Secret Realm], he had some understanding of the situation near the [Warhammer Tribe]. I know that there are three tribes of different sizes distributed around the [Warhammer Tribe]. They are [Barbarian Ax Tribe], [Gushan Tribe] and [Yang Yan Tribe]. Among them, the comprehensive strength of the first two and [Warhammer Tribe] is not much different. They are both small "bronze-level tribes." The scale of the [Sunfire Tribe] is very large. The total population of the tribe is almost three times that of the [Warhammer Tribe]. It can be regarded as a "Silver Level Tribe" in the [Forge Secret Realm]. As for the conflict between the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and the [Warhammer Tribe], in fact, it is not just a matter of a day or two, but has existed for decades. A hundred years ago, these two tribes were one family, and the heads of the two tribes were even brothers. However, due to some conflict that cannot be verified now, the two clan leaders turned against each other and eventually split into two tribes, the Barbarian Axe and the Warhammer. Since then, there have been frictions and struggles, large and small, between the two sides. But what makes Xia En strange is. Obviously the combat power of [Barbarian Ax Tribe] is similar to [Warhammer Tribe], and even [Warhammer Tribe] has a strong man like themselves who can defeat [Fire Lizard King]. If a war really breaks out, even if they can defeat the [Warhammer Tribe], they will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties. [Barbarian Ax Tribe] Why did you suddenly decide to start a war? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s doubts, Hope explained: "With the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] alone, naturally they don''t have the courage to start a war directly." "But it is said...this time they have received support from the [Yangyan Tribe]." "Even the number one warrior of the [Yang Yan Tribe], Bakulie Yang Yan, will join the battle as a reinforcement." Xia En frowned slightly and murmured: "The support from [Yang Yan Tribe]..." At this time, he also had a certain understanding of the various titles in the dwarf tribe. The so-called "first warrior" is both a title and a position, specifically referring to the strongest person in the tribe. The participation of the first warrior in the battle itself represents the importance that [Yang Yan Tribe] attaches to this battle. However, Xia En couldn''t help but be curious. [The Wild Ax Tribe] went to war with the [Warhammer Tribe] because of their past grudges. Why did [Yangyan Tribe] choose to intervene? Is it simply to expand power and accommodate more people? Shane expressed his doubts directly to Hope. Hearing this, Hope suddenly said: "By the way, you have lost part of your memory, no wonder you have forgotten this matter." He led Xia En out of the cave and pointed to the huge furnace in the center of the underground space. "Each tribe will have its own natal furnace. If you look carefully at the height of the furnace, what can you see?" Shane followed Hope''s finger, observed carefully, and soon saw - Above the huge furnace, there are some strange lines, which are like carved murals and totems used in the barbaric period, revealing an ancient and mysterious temperament. However, no matter what it is, it has very obvious flaws. In other words, it is just a small part of a huge whole. "That is our ancestral totem." Hope looked at the lines and said with reverence: "According to legend, our dwarf family are not actually the aborigines of this world, but migrated here from another world." "The totems of our ancestors are the key to our ability to gain a foothold in this world." "The way it used to resist the attack of [Fire Lizard King] was the effect of the ancestral totem. In addition, it also has many magical abilities." At this point, Hope couldn''t help but sigh. "It''s just that because it existed so long ago, the power within it is gradually passing away." "I''m afraid it''s for this reason that the [Yangyan Tribe] is determined to attack us, right?" Xia En touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face. After hearing these words, he finally understood the origin of the dwarves in the [Forge Secret Realm], as well as some deeper secrets. Moreover, Shane quickly realized something and asked. "You mean...the reason [Yangyan Tribe] took action was because of our ancestor totems?" "That''s right." Hope nodded and said: "In the history passed down orally in the clan, the original ancestral totem should be complete." "But due to an unknown incident, the ancestral totem was torn apart, and finally became part of the destiny melting pot of each dwarf tribe." "In this case, of course there will be people who want to make the totem complete and make the dwarves great again." "At the same time, it is also to strengthen my tribe." "It is said that in those more distant places, tribes have collected more than a dozen pieces of ancestral totems and developed several new uses of ancestral totems." Hope smiled bitterly: "Actually, even I have had such an idea. Unfortunately, my talent is too limited." Then, he looked at Xia En expectantly, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he murmured. "But, if you have the blood of the God of War, maybe you can..." "Blood of the God of War?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What is that?" This was the first time he heard this statement. "Originally, these secrets should have been told to you after you became the clan leader, but now, we don''t have much time left." Hope said seriously: "Among the first batch of dwarves who moved into this world, the powerful blood of the God of War flowed in their bodies, which gave them great strength, strong recovery ability, and innate fighting ability." "However, as time goes by, the number of dwarves with this war-god''s blood becomes fewer and fewer." "In other words, the blood in our bodies has fallen asleep and the power cannot be manifested." "And the reason why you were able to defeat the [Fierce Lizard King] must be because you awakened the power of the blood of the God of War at the critical moment of life and death." "Perhaps your amnesia was also caused by the impact of this force." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately understood that this was Hope''s misunderstanding! Where does he have the blood of the God of War? The reason why he can burst out with such strong combat power is entirely due to the numerical values ??and mechanism brought by [Projection Body] - oh no, it is sweat and hard work! However, Shane was also happy to see Hope have such a misunderstanding. Otherwise, his rapid improvement in strength would be difficult to explain with common sense. At the same time, Kull on the side also heard Hope''s story. When he heard words such as "after becoming a clan leader" and "blood of the God of War", the face of the bearded dwarf became paler to the naked eye. The whole person''s demeanor became a little depressed. Even when facing Xia En''s casual glance, his eyes would dodge. Shane vaguely guessed what Hope meant by letting Kuhl hear these words. The old patriarch may have guessed some of Kull''s thoughts, so he wanted to use these words to completely make him give up. At the same time, it is also a relatively gentle way to eliminate the conflicts between the two. Although Kuhl will be sad in the short term, it will be a good thing in the long run. After all, Kull is also a member of the Warhammer tribe and a very good craftsman. From Hope''s point of view, this approach is undoubtedly a wise choice - it can be said to be the so-called "wisdom of old people", right? Shane saw Hope''s thoughts, but did not say more on this topic, but continued. "Let''s not talk about the blood of the God of War for now, I still feel a little strange." "How could [Yangyan Tribe] assist [Barbarian Ax Tribe] at this time?" "With their strength, they should have been able to defeat us before, right?" Unlike the Barbarian Ax tribe, which sits on equal terms, the Yangyan tribe is a silver-level dwarf tribe, and its strength is far superior to that of the Warhammer tribe. In Xia En''s opinion, the time they chose to start the war was a bit too coincidental. Hope nodded: "That''s right." "There are actually many reasons behind this." "First of all, the terrain of our world makes it difficult to implement large-scale long-distance travel and marching operations. No matter how strong the [Yangyan Tribe] is, the range of radiation is actually limited." Xia En understood: "That''s true." There are no flat plains in [The Furnace Secret Realm], only large and small, rugged tunnels and caves. It''s not that it''s impossible to pull out a large army to start a war, but it''s quite difficult. This is also the reason why the [Wild Ax Tribe] and the [Warhammer Tribe] were able to live in peace and harmony before. Hope continued: "Secondly, I guess... [Yangyan Tribe] may have obtained another totem fragment related to our totem, so they chose to take action." Shane: "Related totem fragments? What does this mean?" Hope explained: "The power that a single totem fragment can exert is limited." "But if you find the pieces that fit it and put it together into a more complete figure, its power will increase exponentially." Upon hearing this, Xia En understood instantly. The ancestral totems of the dwarves also need to be puzzled together! In the past, the totem of the [Sunfire Tribe] might have been a puzzle piece that had nothing to do with the [Warhammer Tribe]. Now, since we have found a matching puzzle piece, we might as well include the piece of [Warhammer Tribe] to form a larger totem. "The last reason is..." Hope showed a wry smile: "I don''t know why recently, the frequency of [Fire] in our area has become much higher, and there are also ground rumblings from time to time." "Perhaps [Yangyan Tribe] also has a sense of crisis and wants to increase its strength as soon as possible, right?" The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. If you have to say it, this reason is really inseparable from his arrival. Suddenly, Xia En thought of another question: "Chief Hope, where did you get the information about the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [Yang Yan Tribe]?" The transportation in [The Furnace Secret Realm] is so inconvenient, and the spread of news is extremely blocked. Being able to know this information in advance is an incredible thing. Hearing this question, Hope couldn''t help showing a complicated expression on his face and answered. "Actually, we learned this after intercepting a secret letter sent to Kuhl''s wife." "Cool''s wife?" Shane looked at Kuhl beside him and suddenly remembered that his wife Mary was originally a member of the "Wild Ax Tribe". But now, the meaning of this secret letter seems to be clear at a glance. "No, it''s not like that!" At this time, Kull finally couldn''t help but retorted: "Mary definitely didn''t mean that. This is definitely sowing discord!" "In our tribe, Mary is not the only woman from the Wild Ax tribe." Hope shook her head in disappointment: "You have been with Mary for so long, and you still haven''t seen her true nature clearly?" "No matter what, she has to be in confinement during this period and no one is allowed to visit!" "Wait until the war is over before Mary can be released." Kull opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Why is this..." "Kool." Shane walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said. "War is cruel, you have to be mentally prepared in advance." Kull was startled by Shane''s slap and quickly took two or three steps back, completely frightened. Xia En looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "What''s wrong? Am I so scary?" "Or is it more terrifying than facing the [Fire Lizard] alone?" As if aware of the deep meaning in Xia En''s words, Kull''s face became paler and his body began to tremble slightly. He swallowed and said with difficulty: "I''m feeling a little unwell, so I''ll leave first." After saying that, Kull left quickly as if running away in a hurry. When Hope saw Kuhl''s performance, he completely gave up the idea of ??naming him as the next successor. A weak, timid and indecisive person is not worthy of becoming the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe]. However, after all, Kuhl was the one Hope watched grow up, and he sighed softly. "I hope Kull can overcome this hurdle and cheer up as soon as possible." Shane said meaningfully: "I believe he will." After leaving the cave. Kuhl staggered towards his small home, his back looking extremely embarrassed. There was strong fear in Kull''s eyes, and he guessed in his heart: "What I just said...did Bronzebeard remember it?" "Did he discover my previous conspiracy?" "This, this is impossible!" Kuhl subconsciously didn''t want to believe this. After all, this means that Bronzebeard will definitely take revenge on himself. Now, Bronzebeard is not only the number one warrior of the Warhammer tribe, but also the confirmed next leader. If he wanted revenge, where would he be able to survive? Not to mention that now, his wife Mary is still locked up. The Warhammer Tribe and the Wild Ax Tribe are about to go to war! Thinking of this, Kudu suddenly felt that his life was gloomy and his heart was extremely despairing. How can he live like this? But just after Kull returned to his cave full of despair, he found an extra picture on the stone table... Paper made of unknown leather. "This is?" Kuhl didn''t know why, so he carefully opened the roll of paper, and it was written in ancient fonts. Calling the name of Rhine... (End of chapter) Chapter 308 【Lord of the Rhine】? Evil God? Chapter 308 [Lord of the Rhine]? Evil God? The texture of this paper was extremely unique. It gave Kuhl a smooth feeling after he picked it up. It was made of the leather of an unknown animal. "It can''t be human skin, right?" This thought flashed through Kull''s mind for no reason, but he was quickly dismissed by himself. However, even if it is not human skin, this mysterious leather paper brings an indescribable sense of weirdness and mystery to Kull. The weird workmanship, the dark brown lines, and the invisible secret power lingering on it all seemed extremely strange. It''s so strange that it''s like...it''s not a creation of this world! "Where did this vellum come from?" "Why in my house?" Kuhl inevitably had such doubts, but after doubts, his curiosity was also aroused. His intuition told him that there might be a huge secret hidden in this piece of paper, and there seemed to be a seductive whisper whispering in his ear. "Turn it over...open it...read it..." So, Kull opened the paper and saw the line of words with unknown meaning. Calling the name of Rhine... Although these words were in a language that Kull knew, there were subtle differences in the way they were written. It took him a while to identify them. Soon, as Kull began to read down the contents of the leather paper, his expression became increasingly weird. On this piece of leather paper, an existence named [Lord of Rhine] was recorded. He is a traveler in the [Secret Sea], a traveler in thousands of [Secret Realms], and he is the master of a world! In that world called [Rhine], there is bright sunshine, abundant water sources, and dense forests, and creatures can walk freely on the earth. The resources that are extremely scarce for the dwarves in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are as accessible as air and are everywhere in that world. It''s like a fertile "golden land." "Is such a world really possible?" After reading the description on the leather paper, Kull looked dazed and murmured in disbelief. "Or is this just a false existence that was made up casually?" Even though the history of the dwarf tribe is relatively well preserved, after such a long period of erosion, there will always be many distortions in the history and legends passed down. In addition, there are differences in the environment between [The Furnace Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World]. Many dwarves are no longer able to understand what "sunshine", "rain" and "forest" really are, and they can only glimpse a corner of them from some books and murals left in ancient times. At the moment, the world described on this piece of paper is really too dreamy for Kull. So much so that he subconsciously thought it was a fictional existence. What makes Kuhl even more concerned is that in the second half of the leather paper, there is also a ritual that calls for the "Lord of the Rhine". As long as you call [Lord of the Rhine], you will get his response. Moreover, you can pray to Him for what you desire, such as strength, weapons... and even creatures from other worlds! If the caller is pious enough, these existences can respond to the call and descend into [Ghana World]. "This...this is..." Kull''s eyes suddenly widened, his eyes lit up with hope, and he whispered to himself. "Acquire...power from another world?" Kuhl''s situation at this time can be described as extremely bad. Because of Bronzebeard''s unstoppable rise, the original chance of the clan leader''s successor no longer existed. My wife was also imprisoned because of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], and I dont know if she can be released later. What frightened him the most was that the Bronzebeard seemed to have recovered part of his memory, and guessed that the battle against the [Fire Lizard] was actually his own conspiracy! If Bronzebeard wanted to take revenge on him later, wouldn''t he have no choice but to be killed? Dont do that kind of thing! Kull wailed in his heart. In short, because of these factors, he is now in a desperate situation, and the days to come will only become more difficult. In Kuhl''s own capacity, there is almost no solution to this dilemma. But what if How about praying to this [Lord of the Rhine]? As long as you get the power from another world, maybe you can defeat the Bronzebeard who is bleeding with the "blood of the God of War", right? Perhaps, he can also use this power to become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] again and become a hero in Mary''s eyes! The more Kull thought about it, the stronger the greed and desire in his heart became. He swallowed and couldn''t help but stretched out his hand... But just when he touched the leather paper again and the smooth and weird feeling came into his mind, Kull suddenly thought of what Hope once said to him. In this world, the dwarves will naturally have ignorant and primitive beliefs. The more common ones are the belief in [Born Furnace] and [Ancestral Totem]. This is very easy to understand. These two are the foundation for the survival of every dwarf tribe. Without the protection of the [Ancestral Totem] and the equipment forged by the [Original Furnace], the dwarves would have been extinct in this harsh environment. In the long-term use, people will inevitably develop a mentality of worship and dependence on it, and it will take on "sacred" characteristics. This is how the original faith was born. However, there are some dwarves who have a relatively niche belief, which is the belief in the extremely huge [Fire] in the underground - [Gana]. They believe that all the [lava mines] in the world come from gifts from [Ghana]. Because [Lava Mine] is the only source of light in this underground world, it can resist the erosion and terror of darkness, and it has a certain "sacredness" in itself. So, doesnt the source of all [Lava Mines], the source of [Fire] [Ghana], also possess this kind of sacredness? In fact, if [Fire Seeds] hadn''t sometimes preyed on dwarves, and the two sides had an irresolvable hatred, maybe some people would have faith in them. Of course, the dwarves who believe in [Gana] only occupy a very small part of the tribe and do not have much influence. According to Hope, in addition to these two objects of faith, there is also an extremely dangerous and weird existence. They may be shadow creatures hiding in the darkness; Perhaps it is an ominous figure that visits in a dream; Or maybe... it''s an indescribable thing that claims to be from another world! Hopper refers to these things collectively as Evil God! They often use various methods to confuse those ignorant dwarves in order to achieve their own evil and ulterior purposes. Just coming into contact with them will bring about ominous misfortune. You may also encounter mental pollution, physical distortion, and embark on a crazy road full of thorns. In the end, it brought disaster and destruction to himself, the tribe, and even the entire [Ghana World]. Hope once warned the members of the [Warhammer Tribe] very seriously that once they discover anything related to the "evil god", they must report it and destroy it as soon as possible. Because of his serious attitude at the time, Kuhl remembered these words. Thinking of this, Kull suddenly took back his hand on the leather paper and threw it away like a hot potato. "This, this is a thing of the evil god!?" Combining the contents on the leather paper, it is not difficult for Kuhl to draw such a conclusion. At this moment, the most correct thing for him to do is to give this piece of paper to Hope and then destroy it completely. "But, is this... really good?" It was like a whisper suddenly sounded in Kull''s ears. This whisper was full of bewitching power, interrupting his original movements. In fact, Kull knew very well that there were no whispers at all. That was just the truest thought in his heart. Whether it''s a **** from another world or an evil god, as long as it can give him the strength to free himself from this miserable and miserable situation, isn''t that enough? But if he is an evil god, can he really get this power? What should we do if it brings disaster to the entire tribe? Kull''s body trembled slightly, and a fierce struggle flashed in his bloodshot eyes, as if there were two villains fighting in his mind, and his brain was almost boiling in this battle. After all, he was not a particularly smart dwarf. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have obeyed Mary''s advice and come up with such a clumsy plot to frame Bronzebeard. At this time, Kuhl suffered a series of changes, and suddenly came into contact with "suspected relics of the evil god". Naturally, he received a huge mental shock, so that his thinking was a little chaotic. To put it more plainly, his brain is a little broken. So, after a fierce struggle in his mind, Kull suddenly laughed. "Hehe...hehehaha!" "What evil gods, what tribes, what disasters...it doesn''t matter! Only the power is real!" "Anyway, the situation can''t get any worse. Even if the tribe is destroyed, so what?" "It doesn''t matter anymore..." Kull stretched out his hand, grabbed the roll of paper with force, and firmly remembered the part about "Calling Ritual" in his mind. After doing all this, Kull lit the piece of paper on fire and completely "destroyed the body and traces." Later, Kull took some materials recorded in the ritual and left the cave of [Warhammer Tribe] alone. The paper said that when arranging the ritual, it may cause fluctuations in the secret power. Therefore, it is better to choose a more remote place to "call". Along the way, someone also noticed Kuhl leaving alone. However, looking at his pale face, bloodshot eyes, and nagging temperament, the dwarves were inexplicably afraid of him. Considering Kuhl''s recent experience, it was thought that it would be better not to disturb him. It didn''t take long. Kuhl came to an extremely remote cave. The caves and tunnels in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are intricate, and this small cave is a secret space that only Kuhl knows. After climbing into the cave, Kull immediately arranged an extremely simple ritual according to the records on the leather paper. According to the statement on the paper, different rituals can bring different effects. The more complex the ritual, the more power it can draw. Even later, you can offer valuable sacrifices in exchange for what you desire. However, this is still the first call after all, and the authenticity of the ritual is not yet certain. Of course, Kull will choose the simplest one to try first. After arranging the ritual track with several pieces of metal, animal skulls and [lava mine] powder, Kull walked to the center of the ritual track. At this last moment, he still hesitated. Once you take this step, you really can''t turn back. But in the end, the desire for power in my heart defeated everything. Kull''s eyes became determined, he cut his finger with a knife, and dropped a drop of blood in the ritual. Then, Kull closed his eyes and whispered to himself. "With my blood, I call your name." "Great [Lord of the Rhine], please listen to my call..." As the words fall, the mysterious power condenses in the ritual. Buzz Invisible and weak vibrations spread in all directions. It''s like an [Anchor] is deeply embedded in the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], and it can no longer be separated. at the same time. Xia En, who was walking in the tunnel, raised his lips. "Sure enough, you still can''t resist the temptation?" In his ears, Kull''s voice was clearly heard. "...Great [Lord of the Rhine], please listen..." Not only that, Xia En also felt that there was a thread connecting him to Kuhl and the [Furnace Secret Realm]. An [Anchor Point] has fallen in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. And it has a subtle connection with the [Pedestal] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Yes, all of this is the [Anchor Point Plan] that Xia En had previously imagined. On his own, it would actually be difficult to leave the [anchor point] for the teleportation ritual in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The reason is simple. Xia En is a stowaway to [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Once someone shows signs of coming from the [Rhine Secret Realm], they will be severely banned, and they may not even be able to keep their identity as "Bronzebeard Warhammer". On the other hand, it is impossible for Xia En to stay in [The Furnace Secret Realm] all the time, nor to conduct trade between the two [Secret Realms] personally. Then, the best way is to let the indigenous residents of [The Furnace Secret Realm] take the initiative to contact the [Rhine Secret Realm]. But here comes the problem. Why do ordinary dwarves want to contact such an unknown and mysterious world? In the eyes of most people, such a strange world is probably full of unknown risks. Keeping a respectful distance is the attitude of ordinary people. So, Shane set his sights on Kuhl. Kuhl''s situation undoubtedly met his requirements perfectly. Being in a bad situation and being forced into desperation means that he will take desperate measures and try to contact the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Both intelligence and strength are limited - convenient for Xia En to control. The most important point is that he has a grudge against "Bronzebeard Warhammer", so Xia En will not feel any guilt when he deceives him! At this time, Shane could not only hear Kuhl''s call, but also vaguely perceive the scene where he was and his current actions. Kuhl murmured piously. "[Lord of the Rhine], please give me strength..." (End of chapter) Chapter 309 [So, what’s the price? 】 Chapter 309 [So, whats the price? In Shane''s perception. Kull was in a dark cave, his expression was gloomy and revealed madness, and he was muttering something in a low voice. Combined with the crude rituals scrawled on the ground, the mottled blood dripping on it, and the [Lava Ore] powder emitting an ominous red light... If you say that this is not a sacrificial ceremony for some evil god, I am afraid no one will believe it! The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly, and he reflected on himself: "It seems that I pushed him a little too hard...could it drive him crazy?" "[Lord of the Rhine]...I pray to you, please give me power..." Kuhl''s prayers sounded again. Hearing the title [Lord of the Rhine] in his mouth, Xia En was a little unable to hold himself tight. Although this is the name that Shane himself left on the parchment, hearing Kure recite this title carefully and reverently, something feels strange? I always feel like I''m wearing a tiger''s skin, bluffing like a magician. But having said that, Xia En''s description of [Lord of the Rhine] is quite fair, right? [Walker who travels through the "Secret Sea"] - means that he can use [Deep Sea Diving] to travel through the [Secret Sea]. [Traveller of Thousands of "Secret Realms"] - refers to him using [Submarine Anchor Point] to teleport into different [Secret Realms]. [Lord of a World] - Refers to Xia En being the master of the secret realm of [Rhine]. Doesnt every one of these match? "Nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all..." Xia En murmured softly, suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart. Although he has never been an evil god, he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running away. He still has some knowledge of the communication process between evil gods and believers. So Xia En began to respond with the help of that mysterious thread. "I have heard your voice." Perhaps because this "thread" has just been formed, it is still fragile and unstable. Or perhaps because the ritual arranged by Kuhl was too crude, there was some distortion during the transmission process. From Kuhl''s perspective. He had just silently recited the name of [Lord of the Rhine] when a low and chaotic murmur came from his ears. The sound sounded like dirty flesh and blood churning in a boiling pot, or like disgusting and sticky limbs squirming. But the strange thing is that Kull still understood the general meaning from the messy and vague whispers - Your words...I already know... "The [Lord of the Rhine] is real!" "The contents of that leather paper are true!" After a brief period of nervousness and fear, Kull couldn''t help but widen his eyes, a strong joy appeared on his face, and greed and desire grew. It was not until this moment that he finally found a way to defeat Bronzebeard and become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] again! As for the strange and chaotic voice of [Lord of Rhine], although Kuhl had strong fear and uneasiness, he had previously regarded [Lord of Rhine] as an "evil god". With such characteristics, it was exactly in line with his expectations, so he wouldn''t be too panicked. Kuhl composed himself, suppressed the fear and excitement in his heart, and whispered as reverently as possible. "[Lord of the Rhine], I want power!" "Any form of power will do, please." After saying this, Kull kept his eyes closed, quietly waiting for the [Lord of the Rhine]''s response. After a moment, the majestic, indecipherable whisper sounded again. [So...what''s the price? Hearing this, Kull''s heart suddenly sank and his face turned pale. Yes, the **** he communicates with is not a kind person, but a real evil god! Since you want power, you have to pay a corresponding price! The most common price is life, vitality and sacrifices. Thinking of this, Kull immediately became frightened and asked softly: "What... do you want?" [This time...your sacrifice...I have received it...] More...More... In the intermittent murmurs, Kull understood what [Lord of the Rhine] meant. Then, an indescribable secret force entered his body along the invisible thread. "This...this is?!" Kuhl''s mind was shaken, and he carefully felt the secret power entering his body. The nature of this secret power is extremely special and different from any secret power that Kull has ever sensed. It seems to have all the characteristics of secret power, can be transformed into any kind of secret power, and also has an indescribable and amazing activity. Ever-changing and mysterious. Moreover, as soon as this secret power entered Kull''s body, it spread to his limbs and bones, and seemed to be subtly transforming his body. Kuhl can clearly feel that his body is becoming stronger! After a while, this secret power lay dormant in his body, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. But Kull felt that he could wake it up at any time. "call" Kurchang exhaled a thick breath, stretched out his hand and pressed **** the rock wall, and a small hole immediately appeared. "Is this...what I can do?" The bearded dwarf''s body trembled with excitement, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes were full of excitement. He actually really gained new power from the [Lord of Rhine]! "By the way, what is that secret power?" Kull carefully mobilized a ray of secret power and placed it on the rock wall in front of him. Just the moment it came into contact with the rock wall, many cracks appeared, as if the secret power penetrated directly into the depths of the rock formation, destroying it from a deeper level. This kind of power is really thrilling! "Is this the power of [Lord of Rhine]?" "So strong! Too strong! Hahaha..." Seeing this scene, Kull couldn''t help laughing loudly: "If I can continue to obtain this kind of power, even Bronzebeard won''t be my opponent, right?" He muttered to himself with greedy fire burning in his eyes. "Bronzebeard, Hope, Mary, wait!" "The position of clan leader will definitely be mine!" At this moment, Kull felt like he was the protagonist in some legend. Although he encountered major setbacks, he mastered the ability to transcend common sense because of his unexpected encounters. From then on, he soared into the sky and could no longer be stopped. Small characters like Bronzebeard and Hope are just small obstacles on the way to his rise. The feeling of having power was so good that Kull couldn''t help but be deeply intoxicated and addicted to it, and even became a little arrogant. However, Kool didn''t know... All the gifts of fate have already been marked with a price tag behind them. The [Lord of Rhine], also known as Xia En, gave Kull the secret power through invisible threads. It was none other than his exclusive [Secret Power of the Void]. Because this secret power can simulate the characteristics of almost all secret powers, Xia En naturally adjusted it to suit Kull and took root in Kull''s body. From Kuhl''s perspective, he may feel that his physical fitness has been strengthened and his body''s secret power has become full. You will naturally come to the conclusion that you have become stronger. But, from another perspective. Shane''s secret power has taken root throughout Kull''s body, naturally including the heart, trachea, brain and other vital parts. He only needed one thought to take Kull''s life. Even if Kull stops praying to him in the future, his entire body will become extremely weak due to the loss of the support of [Secret Power of the Void]. It is not impossible to get seriously ill directly. However, Shane believes that Kuhl will continue to repeat this process. Because, after enjoying the taste of power, he can no longer tolerate the weak self he used to be! Especially for people like Kuhl, this mentality will be particularly obvious. It can be said that from the moment Kuhl prayed to Shane for strength, his life was no longer his own. This is the price Kuhl paid! "hiss" Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but take a breath. Thinking about it carefully, this behavior probably, maybe, seems, maybe... is indeed no different from what the evil **** does? However, when he thought that Kuer had framed him, Xia En''s mentality instantly calmed down. He has never shown any kindness towards his enemies. Xia En said to himself: "I just don''t know what Kull''s reaction would be if he knew that I was the [Lord of the Rhine]..." "By then, his expression will be wonderful, right?" at the same time. Kuhl knew nothing about his tragic fate in the future. He took a few deep breaths to calm down. "Wait a minute, [Lord of Rhine] said he received a sacrifice?" "But I obviously didn''t put any sacrifices..." Kull glanced around the ritual track in confusion, and soon discovered that the [Lava Ore] powder that previously glowed dark red had disappeared at some point. Kuhl suddenly realized: "It turns out that the sacrifice is [Lava Mine]!" Realizing this, his eyes couldn''t help but twinkle. Naturally, he has a lot of [Lava Mine] in stock at home. More importantly, as the most outstanding craftsman in the [Warhammer Tribe] second only to Hope, he is responsible for the forging of many equipment in the tribe. In the process, you will also get [Lava Ore] given by the tribe. At that time, you can completely hide some of it privately and sacrifice more [Lava Mines] to the [Lord of the Rhine] in exchange for more power. "This is completely feasible, but you have to hide it from that old guy Hope..." Kull began to silently think about the feasibility of this matter. If Shane knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say - "You are such a **** talent!" Good guy, you have just had contact with the "Evil God" and are you ready to sell your tribe? This is probably the so-called "holy body of a natural cultist", right? Currently, the most valuable things to Xia En in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are the [Lava Mine], followed by the equipment made by the dwarves. If the [Moon-Winging Clan] in the [Rhine Secret Realm] can be equipped with dwarf equipment, their combat effectiveness will be greatly increased again. Therefore, Xia En also listed these two as the targets of "sacrifice". On the other side, after Kull was ready to be a traitor, he completely cleared the rituals at the scene and whispered to himself at the same time. "Praise the [Lord of the Rhine]!" He believes that his life trajectory will be greatly changed by [Lord of the Rhine]. And just then. A tremor on the ground suddenly came from far away. "What''s going on?" Kull''s expression changed slightly and he looked down the cave. I saw a group of dwarves wearing armor and holding large axes passing quickly through the passage below. Like a fast-moving army! "It''s the Savage Ax Tribe! They''re coming!" Kuhl''s heart skipped a beat - from the iconic axe, he could easily identify the identity of the other party''s group. Not only that, he even saw a giant wolf with flames burning in its eyes in the team. The huge and muscular body, the sharp claws and teeth, the fiery red hair...are all filled with a terrifying sense of oppression. Just standing there is enough to scare the average dwarf out of their wits and prevent them from resisting. There is no doubt that it is a genuine [Fire Seed]! To be precise, this is a [Fire Wolf], or a tamed [Fire Wolf]! Yes, in the [Forge Secret Realm], some powerful dwarf warriors can defeat and conquer the [Fire Seed] with their own strength. And turning these [Fire Seeds] into your own mounts or partners can also become a valuable labor force for the entire tribe. At this time, an extraordinarily tall dwarf was sitting on the back of this [Fire Wolf]. He is at least two heads taller than the average dwarf, and his hair is as red as flames, swaying slightly as the [Fire Wolf] advances. There was obviously explosive power in that body. - The obedient and extremely well-behaved [Fire Wolf] under him, as well as the awe-inspiring looks of the surrounding dwarves, are the best proof. Seeing this person, Kull couldn''t help but take a breath, and his heart seemed to skip a beat. ExplosionYangyan! The number one warrior of [Yang Yan Tribe]! Even in a remote place like [Warhammer Tribe], Kull has long heard of this warrior''s deeds. It is said that Burst Yangyan was originally an abandoned child of the Yangyan tribe and was raised by a [Fire Seed]. Maybe it has something to do with his upbringing. As Burst Sun Flame grew up, he quickly showed his extremely strong talent, which was incomparably compatible with the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], and he had a profound knowledge of the power of the fire element. In the second year after being brought back to the tribe, Burst defeated all his peers and was called a once-in-a-century genius. However, due to his childhood experiences, Burst has a very weird personality. In other words, he is more on the wild side, and has even had **** records of tearing enemies apart with his own hands during combat. Many dwarves had a strong fear of him and called him [Son of Fire], which means the child of [Fire]. Although Kuhl already knew in advance that Explosion would join the war. But how could they come so quickly? Kuhl suddenly woke up. Perhaps, at the same time as the secret message was sent, the team of the Savage Ax tribe had already set off! Now, what should he do? At this moment, Burst, who was sitting on the wolf''s back, raised his head and looked in the direction of Kull. (End of chapter) Chapter 310 [Hammer of the God of War], the explosion is coming! Chapter 310 [Hammer of the God of War], the explosion is coming! The moment the red-haired dwarf raised his head. Kull felt as if his heartbeat was about to stop! However, due to his instinctive desire to survive, Kull still made the most correct choice. He retracted his body as quickly as possible and clung to the rock wall behind him, trying his best to hold his breath. What a joke! He had just gained the ability to change his fate, and he was allowed to face Explosion? Should I fight Burst Yangyan? Fortunately, maybe Kull avoided it in time enough, or maybe his breath was too weak. Burst just glanced at the top of the passage and then withdrew his gaze. "Master Explosion, what''s wrong?" Noticing the explosive gaze, a dwarf next to [Fire Wolf] asked softly in awe. "fine." Burst shook his head and spoke in a slightly weird tone. "A little bug, weak, no threat." "Don''t worry, just move on." Due to the experience of being raised by [Fire] at a young age, Burst''s language ability is obviously worse than that of ordinary dwarves. Not only does his tone of voice seem weird, but it also gives people a sense of confusion in his speech. It takes some time for others to understand. However, no dwarf dared to question his decision. Because, he is Burst Yangyan! Dwarves value power more than language! After this small episode, the team of the Savage Ax tribe continued to move forward. It wasn''t until the vibrations in the surrounding caves completely subsided that Kull cautiously poked his head out and looked down where his cave was. Seeing that Burst and the other dwarves had disappeared, Kull let out a long breath. Only then did he realize that his back was completely wet with cold sweat, and his hands were even trembling slightly. "Is this the bursting pressure?" "Obviously he just glanced at me..." At that moment, Kuhl''s instinct felt an extremely strong sense of danger, as if he was facing a giant beast from deep underground! Even with the power of [Lord of Rhine], Kull is no match for him. "Yes, they must want to catch [Warhammer Tribe] off guard." "Perhaps that secret letter was intercepted on purpose, just to let the clan leader misjudge the time of their attack!" Kuhl was once smart and quickly guessed the intention of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]. A look of struggle flashed in his eyes. In fact, there is a shortcut from this secret cave to the underground space where [Warhammer Tribe] is located. If he sets out now, he might be able to get back to the [Warhammer Tribe] before the war begins, and tell Bronzebeard and Hope this valuable information so that they can prepare in advance. However, when he thought of Burst''s cold look just now, Kull felt great fear in his heart. "No, you can''t do that." "Even if I go back, [Warhammer Tribe] will not be an opponent of Explosion." Kuhl murmured to himself, as if he was convincing himself, or looking for excuses for himself. "That''s right, [Warhammer Tribe] is over!" "I can''t change this even if I rush back now. Instead of being buried with the [Warhammer Tribe], it''s better to go to other tribes to seek a chance to survive." "With my level of forging and the power given by [Lord of the Rhine], I can get along in any tribe I go to." As for Mary''s safety, Kuhl isn''t too worried. Mary was originally a member of the [Wild Ax Tribe], and maybe she could be rescued because of this. Besides, with the help of the [Lord of the Rhine], I may not be able to find a more obedient and capable wife in the future. Thinking of this, Kull no longer hesitated, but walked further away from [Warhammer Tribe]. at the same time. In the camp of [Warhammer Tribe]. "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "The explosion brought people from the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] to kill them?" Although Kuhl did not personally bring the news back to the tribe, because he had just finished the [Calling Ritual], there was still a subtle connection between Shane and him. Therefore, Xia En still had a rough idea of ??what he saw. As for Kull''s performance of running away, Xia En was both angry and funny. Scared away at first sight? You dont even have to act! However, Shane can actually understand Kull''s psychology. People''s bottom line will continue to decrease. Kull was originally just an ordinary dwarf, but under the instigation of Mary, he committed the murder of "Bronzebeard Warhammer". That was the first step in his fall. Later, after giving up his principles and tribe and praying and offering sacrifices to the "evil god", Kull completely embarked on a path of no return. Now he can no longer look back. However, precisely because of Kuhl''s poor performance, Xia En''s original guilt for deceiving him completely disappeared. From now on, Xia En plans to use him as a good fuel until he completely drains his remaining value. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia En did not forget that the imminent crisis now was the explosion and the attack of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]. If you want to keep your identity as "Bronzebeard Warhammer" and gain long-term support from [Warhammer Tribe], you must first cross this threshold. Therefore, Xia En immediately found the patriarch Hope and explained to him the information he had learned. "What? Burst has already brought the people of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] to the passage not far away?!" Hope did not doubt the information brought by Shane at all, nor did he ask where he learned about it, but immediately said seriously. "You must prepare to meet the enemy immediately!" Although Hope is a gray-haired old man, his decision-making ability and ability to act are far from what Kuhl can match. He quickly thought of a strategy to fight the enemy and gave instructions to the dwarves in his clan. The sick, old, and young dwarves were placed in a safe space. -Due to the sparse population of the dwarves, wars between different tribes will not slaughter captives, but will use the remaining people as slaves. After deleting the surnames of the loser tribe, it only takes a few generations to smoothly integrate these slaves into the tribe. This can be regarded as an invisible unspoken rule. However, when he thought of that explosive record, Hope felt frightened. Burst, who was raised by [Fire], has always been known for his **** and brutal fighting methods. Once he gets red-blooded, there may not even be a single person left alive. Hope knew very well that the method he thought of to fight the enemy could only be effective against ordinary enemies and would never be able to kill Explosion. Maybe not even minor injuries. The final outcome of this war still depends on the battle between Bronzebeard and Explosion. In fact, this is also the norm for small tribes. The outcome of a war often ultimately depends on the battle between the strongest people on both sides. Thinking of this, Hope couldn''t help but asked carefully. "Bronzebeard, if you were pitted against Explosion, would you win?" If it were Xia En''s true form, he would definitely answer directly - "I will win!" But at the moment, Xia En is not in full strength after all. He is restricted by Bronzebeard''s body and cannot fully display his combat power. And since he had no specific knowledge of Burst''s strength, it was naturally inconvenient for him to jump to conclusions, lest he raise a flag. After thinking about it, Xia En said: "You can only know this kind of thing if you have fought it yourself." "But I think the winning rate is at least 50%, right?" There is another sentence that Xia En has not said. As long as he gives up his identity as Bronzebeard, defeating Explosion will undoubtedly be a piece of cake. "Fifty percent..." After hearing this, Hope murmured: "That''s amazing." Although Xia En had a record of killing [Fierce Lizard King], the record of Explosion was even more luxurious and exaggerated than this. It is said that Burst once broke into a [Fire Seed] lair alone. When other dwarves arrived, all they saw were bloodstains and broken meat all over the ground. It is precisely because of his explosive fame that Hope rarely has much confidence in Shane. After thinking for a moment, Hope seemed to have made some kind of determination and spoke. "Bronzebeard, come with me, I have an important weapon for you." "An important weapon?" Xia En was a little surprised, [Warhammer Tribe] turned out to have such a hidden card? But when facing the [Fierce Lizard King] before, why didn''t Hope take it out? And soon, Xia En knew the answer to this question. Because Hope brought him to... In front of the [Warhammer Tribe]''s [Forge of Life]. "Chief Hope, what are you doing?" Shane asked a little surprised. Hope looked at the [Born Furnace] in front of him, with complexity and emotion appearing in his cloudy eyes, and said. "This was originally supposed to be handed over to you after you became the clan leader, but now that the enemy is facing us, we don''t care about that much anymore." "Stretch out your hand." Shane did as he was told. Immediately, Hope placed an ancient piece of iron in his palm. The next moment. An extremely hot temperature came from Xia En''s palm, and the iron piece instantly burned red, as if it was about to melt into the body. clang! Then, there was a sound of metal hitting in Xia En''s mind. It was like a sledgehammer hitting his heart hard. Xia En clearly sensed a blazing fire, with raging and blazing energy surging in it, mixed with all kinds of chaotic emotions. There is worship, awe, dependence... Obviously, these are the feelings that the dwarves place in the fire. There is no doubt that the essence of this "furnace" is exactly the [Furnace of Life] in front of him! From this moment on, Xia En had control over this [Balth Furnace]. [You are bound to the "Forge of Life" of "Warhammer Tribe"! Your soul has been tempered! [Comprehensive quality +0.5! A few lines of text flashed before Xia En''s eyes. "The tempering of the soul..." Xia En''s eyes showed joy. He could indeed feel that under the influence of the fire, his soul was warm, as if he was soaking in a hot spring. This benefit is purely an unexpected surprise. Xia En originally thought that his submersible voyage in [The Furnace Realm] could only be used to exchange products between the two [Secret Realms], but he didn''t expect that it could feed back his body and make his soul stronger. At this time, the meaning of Hope''s move was also clear. He is equivalent to directly handing over the life and death of [Warhammer Tribe] to Xia En. [Natural Furnace] is the foundation of a tribe. It can be said that if Xia En runs away with the [Forge of Life] now, the [Warhammer Tribe] will perish on its own in a short time. This kind of trust can be described as very heavy. At this time, Hope continued: "Bronzebeard, if it is really necessary, just take this furnace and run away!" "As long as the furnace is still there and the ancestral totem is still there, the [Warhammer Tribe] will not be considered dead." "Chief Hope..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be touched. Then, he said seriously: "Don''t worry, I will win." When it comes to the last moment, Shane will never run away like Hope said. The reason is simple. Xia En vaguely realized that the explosion and [Barbarian Ax Tribe] arriving so quickly might have something to do with him. This is also one of the malicious intentions of [The Furnace Secret Realm]. It can also be said that this is the test of the entire [Secret Realm] for him! If you want to conquer the [Secret Realm of the Furnace], there is no use in escaping. Facing the test, you can only face it head on! Listening to the confidence in Xia En''s mouth, Hope was relieved and sighing with emotion. "It seems that I am really old." "The future belongs to you young people." "Oh, by the way, the control method of [Benming Furnace] is also very simple. You just need to communicate with it with your mind." Shane began to try to communicate with the fire in his mind. But soon, he discovered that this fire seemed to have another form? He carefully put his mental power into the totem above the [furnace]. Then, a surprising change occurred. I saw the huge [Born Furnace] in front of the two people constantly deforming and compressing in a way that transcended common sense, and finally turned into... A giant warhammer larger than a human being! The surface of this hammer has flame-like lines and dark red in the darkness. It looks mysterious and majestic, full of violent beauty. After [The Forge of Life] transformed into a war hammer, it naturally fell into Xia En''s hands. As soon as the handle of the war hammer was taken into hand, a blazing temperature immediately came out. But the temperature was strangely without any burning sensation. Instead, it was very comfortable to hold, as if it felt like a blood connection. Not waiting for Xia En to check the panel of this war hammer. On the side, Hope''s eyes widened, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn''t help but exclaimed. "[Hammer of the God of War!]" "This is the Hammer of the God of War! I saw it right. The blood of the God of War flows in your body, so this weapon can see the light of day again." ah? Xia En''s mouth twitched, and he really didn''t know how to explain this situation. He obviously just touched the totem with his spirit in an ordinary way, right? Or is that actually the effect of the [Warhammer Tribe] ancestral totem? However, no matter what, this warhammer was indeed of great help to Xia En, greatly enhancing his combat effectiveness in the [Forge Secret Realm]. "It''s the Hammer of the God of War!" "Bronzebeard summoned the Hammer of War, and he was recognized by the Hammer of War!" "We have hope!" The dwarves nearby became excited when they saw this scene. [War God''s Hammer] was equivalent to a legendary existence in their minds, but it reappeared in the world at this time, which naturally greatly increased the morale of the dwarves. Amid the excitement, Shane realized that he needed to do something. He stood in the center of the crowd, raised his war hammer high, and shouted. "This battle is for the Warhammer Tribe!" Everyone responded in unison: "For the Warhammer Tribe!" There was light in everyone''s eyes, which was very different from the fearful and uneasy look before. High morale, burning like a furnace fire. There is no doubt that at this moment, Shane has become the undoubted core of [Warhammer Tribe]. at the same time. Burst and others are also taking action... (End of chapter) Chapter 311 Hopes courage, the fierce battle explodes! Chapter 311: Hopes courage, fierce fighting breaks out! In a dark, narrow passage. The dwarves of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] are moving forward in an orderly manner. And the person leading the way at the front was none other than Burst riding on the back of a wolf. At this time, his exploding eyes shone strangely in the darkness, and his nose twitched slightly, as if he was identifying the smell in the air. Soon, he locked in a direction and said while moving forward. "This way." The dwarves behind [Fire Wolf] immediately responded: "Yes, Master Explosion." Then, they quickly followed, with unusually calm and agile movements and demeanor. If you observe carefully, you can find that these dwarves are obviously different from the dwarves further around, whether it is their clothing, equipment, temperament, or demeanor. The weapons they hold are not the extremely eye-catching heavy axes of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], but a medium-sized long sword. There are special forging marks on each long sword, forming patterns that look like the sun and flames. That is the unique forging technique of [Yang Yan Tribe]. Not only can the weapon become sharper and stronger, but it can also add [Sun Flame] damage when attacking, which is equivalent to an exclusive enchantment. Visible to the naked eye, the physical fitness and combat capabilities of these dwarves are stronger than those of ordinary dwarves. Moreover, they always look at the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] dwarves with a touch of contempt and arrogance. Obviously, these dwarves are from the [Yangyan Tribe], and they are also Burst''s bodyguards! "What are you still waiting for? Come up!" Seeing the slow movements of the dwarves of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], one of the female dwarves who followed the explosion frowned and scolded them sternly. "No wonder you guys obviously have a grudge against the [Warhammer Tribe], but you haven''t been able to take action for so long." "Grinning, or not a man?" "If you''re afraid of death, get back here now!" She glanced at the many dwarves and said coldly: "A bunch of trash!" "you!" Hearing this merciless rebuke from the female dwarf, the dwarves of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] were naturally a little angry, and some wanted to retaliate. But at this moment, Bakulie, who was sitting on the giant wolf, turned back and glanced at everyone. In an instant, the venue was completely silent, and no one dared to say another word. "Oh" Seeing this, the female dwarf sneered again and quickly followed the footsteps of the explosion. The humiliation brought by this sneer was even several times stronger than her previous rebuke! But in the face of the terrifying explosive pressure, they still dared not speak out in anger. After a while, the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] dwarf at the end of the team couldn''t help but curse: "Damn it, you stinky bitch!" "Isn''t it just because she has [Yangyan Tribe] and Explosion to support her? What''s so great about it?" The companion on the side smiled bitterly. With the backing of [Sunfire Tribe] and Explosion, this is really amazing, at least they can''t afford to offend each other at all. After complaining for a while, the irritable dwarf asked curiously: "Actually, I don''t understand why the clan leader suddenly decided to take action against the [Warhammer Tribe]?" "[Yangyan Tribe] will not lend a helping hand for no reason." The other dwarf hesitated and told some inside information he knew. "I heard that after this battle, we [Barbarian Ax Tribe] will move to the territory of [Yang Yan Tribe] and become their vassals." "ah?" The irritable dwarf was suddenly shocked: "Migrate? Why?" "I don''t want to become a vassal of [Yangyan Tribe]!" The companion quickly reached out to cover his mouth: "Shh! Shh - keep your voice down!" "This is just the news I heard, it may not be accurate!" The dwarf whose mouth was covered nodded, indicating that he would not make a fuss anymore, and then his companion let go of his hand and continued. "I also heard... I just heard that the [Yangyan Tribe] originally came for our tribe''s [Ancestral Totem]." "But in the end, the clan leader did not choose to fight them to the death, but decided to actively offer the [Ancestral Totem] and join the [Yangyan Tribe]." Hearing this, the dwarf''s eyes widened in shock: "Why is this like this?" "The patriarch...the patriarch..." His first reaction was anger. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a betrayal of the entire tribe! The companion sighed: "Actually, the clan leader also has his own reasons." "The [Yangyan Tribe] is so powerful. With our strength, fighting them is just an egg against a stone." "By voluntarily handing over the [Ancestral Totem], a few fewer people will die." The irritable dwarf''s eyes turned red and he murmured: "Then we can''t surrender without resisting." "Besides, when we reach their territory, it''s not up to us to decide whether they live or die." The companion added: "Oh, by the way, another reason why the clan leader decided to migrate is that [Gana] below our territory is extremely active these days, which may cause our cave to directly collapse." Hearing this, the grumpy dwarf could only sigh. Rationally speaking, this was indeed the most correct decision, but he still couldn''t accept it. "Wait a minute, did Ural take the initiative to curry favor with the [Yang Yan Tribe] after he knew these things?" The companion sighed softly: "I''m afraid so." Unlike these dwarves, who were either indignant or sad, the Ural in their mouths was following Explosion and his bodyguard very doggedly. "I''ve been to this place before!" "Go through the tunnel in front of you, then turn two turns to the right, and you will find the territory of the [Warhammer Tribe]!" Ural''s figure is relatively small among dwarves, and a cunning light flashed in his small eyes. At this time, while leading the way for Blast and others, he looked at the dwarves of [Yang Yan Tribe] to take credit, as if he didn''t care at all about the contempt and ridicule in these people''s eyes. "Well done, Ural." The female dwarf Quilin, who had scolded everyone angrily before, rarely showed a good face and praised him. In Quilin''s view, the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] will soon become a vassal of the [Sunfire Tribe], and Ural''s attitude is what it should be. However, as they were about to reach the enemy''s territory and an encounter could occur at any time, Quilin asked tentatively. "Ural, since you have been to the [Warhammer Tribe], how do you evaluate their strength?" Ural smiled and said: "Sister Kuilin, don''t worry." "The strength of [Warhammer Tribe] is similar to that of [Wild Ax Tribe], even a little weaker." "Recently, a very talented warrior in their clan, Bronzebeard Warhammer, seems to have disappeared in an accident." The transportation in [The Furnace Secret Realm] is extremely inconvenient, which also leads to a huge lag in message transmission. Only Ural didn''t know that Xia En had returned. However, even if Ural knew about Xia En''s existence, he would probably not take it to heart. What about a warrior from a small tribe, even the first warrior? Can it still survive the explosion? Ural looked at Explosion with awe and envy, and said: "As long as Master Explosion is here, we can easily defeat the [Warhammer Tribe]!" "Hahaha! That''s right." Hearing this clumsy flattery, Quilin was extremely happy, as if hearing a compliment to her, she laughed. "Ural, when you conquer the [Warhammer Tribe], you can choose any of the survivors as slaves!" "Yes! Thank you Sister Quilin!" A flash of joy flashed in Ural''s eyes. Of course, he also noticed the disdainful looks cast on him by his fellow tribesmen not far away, and knew that he looked shameless in doing so. But so what? Ural never felt that he had done anything wrong. In this world, the weak have to rely on the strong to survive. It''s like the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] doesn''t have enough power and can only choose to become a vassal of the [Sun Flame Tribe]. Since I have no power, of course I can only try to get as close to the explosion as possible and gain meager benefits from it. And now, the [Warhammer Tribe] who refuses to rely on the [Sun Flame Tribe] will become the first victim. The explosion at the front of the team did not pay any attention to the conversations of the people behind them. Neither the praise he received nor the description of Ural caught his attention. Burst just moved forward steadily and firmly, as if nothing could stop him. But inexplicably, Burst had some ominous premonition in his heart. The experience he had when he was young allowed Burst to develop a talent as intuitive as a beast. Therefore, Burst realized that the battle against [Warhammer Tribe] would most likely not be smooth sailing, but would instead be a difficult and difficult battle. But a born warrior will not be afraid of fighting. After a while, Blast and others had arrived at the end of the passage. "careful." After leaving these words, Burst rode the giant wolf and took the lead into the underground space where the [Warhammer Tribe] was located. To show his loyalty, Ural followed closely. However, Ural couldn''t help but be surprised by the scene inside the huge cave. The entire [Warhammer Tribe] territory seemed extremely dark. The huge furnace that originally stood in the center of the territory disappeared, and the [Lava Mines] in the surrounding rock formations were also gone. Only the faint light coming from the passage illuminated this underground space. "What...is going on?" Quilin followed Explosion into the cave, and she couldn''t help but frown when she saw the scene in front of her. "Did everyone from the [Warhammer Tribe] escape?" "It shouldn''t be..." Ural frowned and thought: "There is no underground space suitable for living near here..." It didn''t take long for the group to reach the center of the cave. Ural glanced at the scorched black marks on the ground, which seemed to still have residual warmththis meant that even if the [Warhammer Tribe] people had evacuated, they had only just left. "Master Explosion..." Ural was about to tell Burst about his discovery, but suddenly he noticed that Burst''s expression suddenly changed. "hide-" Burst Yan let out a concise and violent shout, grabbed the nearest Kuilin and another bodyguard, and retreated violently. Although Ural didn''t understand why Burst did what he did, it didn''t stop him from immediately making the right choice and running in the direction of Burst. The next moment. Under the ground where they were, an extremely terrifying energy wave suddenly erupted. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light bloomed. boom! ! A violent explosion exploded. Ural''s running body was directly thrown away by the aftermath of the explosion and hit the rock wall heavily. For a moment, Ural only felt that his internal organs were shaking, and he couldn''t help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he had suffered severe internal injuries. However, compared to other dwarves in the field, he was extremely lucky. Ural obeyed the order to explode and somehow escaped from the center of the explosion. Those dwarves who did not react were directly torn into pieces by the explosion, with burnt pieces of flesh and remains of equipment shattered all over the ground. There was a smell of burnt meat in the air. Even the huge [Fire Wolf] was seriously injured in the explosion. It was rolling in the flames and letting out a miserable wail. The rest of the survivors were not in much better condition. One by one, they were knocked unconscious from the fall, or screamed in pain due to severe burns. "Ah ah ah ah, it hurts..." "I can''t see! What''s going on?" "Master Explosion, where are you?" For a time, the scene was extremely miserable and chaotic. At this time, Ural had completely understood what had happened previously. [Warhammer Tribe] actually buried all the [Lava Mines] in the tribe underground and exploded them when they arrived! This resulted in such exaggerated lethality. "What a cruel move!" Ural was filled with fear. The person who came up with this plan is definitely a ruthless person. Not only did he risk everything on strategic materials like [Lava Mine], but he also used his own home as a place to detonate it. Aren''t you afraid of blowing this place up? While shocked, Ural also felt a touch of awe. If their clan leader had such courage to face the invasion of the [Yang Yan Tribe], would the outcome have changed? However, Ural also knew that the battle was not over. Because Burst is still alive! As long as he is still there, they still have the possibility of a comeback. At this moment, a shocking roar sounded. "burst-" Under the blazing fire, amid the wails and screams, a figure held a hammer, leaped high from the ground, and rushed towards Burst who had just regained his footing. What a speed! Who is this person? Ural looked at this scene in shock. He originally thought that this would be a one-sided crushing, but the moment the two of them fought, he understood that he was wrong, and he was very wrong. clang! clang! clang! The heavy hammer was swung freely in the dwarf''s hands like a toy, hitting it one after another until it exploded. The weapon used for Explosion is not a sword, but gloves worn on both fists. Every time his fists collided with the giant hammer, his body would take a step back, plowing deep marks on the ground. Almost all the dwarves who saw this scene couldn''t help but show shocked expressions. Explosion, actually suppressed by that man? That was an explosion! "Is this all your strength?" Bronzebeard, that is, Xia En, sneered: "Explosion Yang Yan, it turns out it''s nothing more than that." (End of chapter) Chapter 312 【Do you want to truly live? 】 Chapter 312 [Do you want to really...live? "roar!!" Upon hearing such sarcastic words, Explosion''s eyes immediately lit up with scarlet fire, and he let out a shocking roar. Hot power burst out from his heart and flowed throughout his body. Immediately afterwards, the exploding glove suddenly burst into fierce flames, colliding with the exaggerated giant hammer. boom- Hot air waves rolled and dust flew. The cave, which was already a little unstable due to the shocking explosion just now, was once again on the verge of collapse. Ural is relatively close to the battlefield, so it can be seen more clearly... The fire glove collided with the giant hammer without any fancy. However, the fire on the glove did not spread to the handle of the hammer and cause damage to Xia En like before. Instead, it seemed that it was being suppressed by some invisible force, causing the power of the flame to be greatly attenuated. "What''s going on?" "Hammer...there''s something wrong with that war hammer! Wait, is that..." At this time, Ural''s heart trembled and he thought of a possibility. "That''s...[War God''s Hammer]!?" [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [War Hammer Tribe] were one family hundreds of years ago, so Ural had naturally heard of the legend of [War God''s Hammer]. It is said that the ancestor of their two tribes was one of the dwarves who had the blood of the God of War flowing through them. The [Hammer of the God of War] was the first weapon forged by our ancestors from the corpse of a powerful [Fire] after they came to [Gana World]. According to legend, [War God''s Hammer] has a suppressive effect on most weapons forged by dwarves. It''s like bloodline suppression between living things. In addition, [Hammer of the God of War] also has magical effects such as strengthening the user and stimulating blood vessels. For both of their tribes, this weapon is comparable to an artifact and has a very special meaning. However, in the past few decades, no one in the [Warhammer Tribe] has been able to reproduce the heroic appearance of [War God''s Hammer]. So much so that Ural once thought it was a weapon that only existed in legends. But now, this artifact really appeared in front of him! "Who is that dwarf?" "Could it be that he is the talented warrior of [Warhammer Tribe], Bronzebeard Warhammer?" Not only Ural, but other survivors of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] on the battlefield also recognized the [Hammer of the God of War] and couldn''t help but exclaimed. "[War God''s Hammer]? Isn''t that a weapon that can only be used by those with the blood of the God of War?" "When did [Warhammer Tribe] produce such a character?" However, these survivors did not wait to think more. Earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out all around. "Kill!!" In the blink of an eye, the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] rushed out of the cave where they were hiding and faced the survivors injured by the explosion. Apparently, this is the second link in the trap. The explosion just now could not kill all the intruders, but it at least reduced their combat effectiveness to a higher level. Many people were seriously injured and unable to fight anymore. At this time, the people of the [Warhammer Tribe] attacked again, and the situation naturally quickly fell into a one-sided situation. "Damn it, how could this happen?" Ural looked ugly. In his original expectation, this operation should have been extremely simple and smooth with the support of Explosion and [Yangyan Tribe]. But the [Warhammer Tribe] somehow knew of their arrival in advance, and prepared a huge "surprise" with great courage. The most important thing is that a strong man who can compete with Explosion has emerged from [Warhammer Tribe]! The situation was already very bad, but Ural still did not run away, but stared intently at the center of the battlefield. He is still waiting for the moment when Explosion defeats Xia En. Until now, he still doesn''t believe that Burst will lose! However, Ural was destined not to wait for that moment. In the field, Xia En and the explosive figures were so fast that they almost left their afterimages, constantly colliding and bombarding them back and forth. Every collision stirred up layers of air waves, and even emitted waves of heat, scorching the dwarves around them to retreat. A battle of this intensity is no longer something ordinary dwarves can get involved in. Every collision was like a knock on Ural''s heart, making his desire for power stronger. He envied Explosion and the warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe]. If he could possess this kind of power, not to mention the [War Hammer Tribe], even the [Sun Flame Tribe] would be conquered by him! Unfortunately, while Ural was still dreaming, the white-haired dwarf Hope jumped out from behind him and knocked him out with a hammer. at the same time. Xia En was also a little surprised. Although he was belittling Burst, the strength displayed by this dwarf was actually beyond his expectation. After stimulating some special power, Burst''s combat power reached at least the level of a fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder, almost possessing one-tenth of the strength of Xia En''s body. Even though it was only one-tenth, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" controlled by Xia En was definitely not his opponent based on physical fitness alone. The reason why Xia En has been able to sustain for so long and still have the upper hand is mainly due to the special characteristics of [War God''s Hammer] and [Secret Power of the Void]. [War God''s Hammer] seems to be able to suppress the blood in the bursting body. And [Void Secret Power] is a great weapon against secret power. Xia En even suspected that Burst was the real awakener of the "Blood of the God of War", otherwise his sudden surge in combat power would not be explained. The blood boiling like magma in the bursting body is also the characteristic of the activation of "Blood of the God of War". However, despite this, Xia En is still sure of defeating him! With every collision, a ray of [Secret Power of the Void] invades the bursting body and lurks temporarily. Not even the boiling blood can remove it. What''s more, Xia En also has superimposed skills like [Secret Touch]. When the [Secret Power of the Void] accumulates enough in the explosive body, it can be detonated directly, which is equivalent to an "execution technique." boom! boom! boom! Under the rapid and fierce bombardment, Xia En and Burst''s momentum became stronger and stronger. Like two little suns, it naturally attracted everyone''s attention. However, Xia En''s body is much weaker than Explosion after all. Under such violent stimulation, the muscles and bones inside the body began to collapse a little. This means that the repair speed of [Secret Power of the Void] is beginning to fail to keep up. "Ouch" The bursting combat intuition was extremely sharp, and he let out a wolf-like roar again from his mouth, and swooped forward with his hands like claws. Xia En was about to swing the hammer to meet the attack, but the muscles in his arm suddenly softened and his movements were somewhat deformed. As a result, the strength of the hammer was greatly reduced, and the direction of the hammer was even deflected! Seeing this scene, Hope and the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] felt their hearts sink to the bottom and turned pale. Could it be that... Bronzebeard is going to be defeated? So, who else can beat Burst? Just when the patriarch Hope was a little desperate, something that was difficult for everyone to understand happened. I saw that the explosion had clearly rushed in front of Xia En, and the sharp claws seemed likely to tear his throat open at any time. But the next moment. Burst''s expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed some kind of fatal danger. Therefore, instead of seizing the close victory, he retreated violently, retreating more than ten meters away like a ghost. "Huh? What''s going on?" Hope was very confused: "Why did Burst suddenly run away?" And what surprised him even more was yet to come. Burst still didn''t feel safe after retreating more than ten meters. Instead, he frantically moved and dodged in the cave, so fast that it left an afterimage. From the perspective of Hope and other dwarves, there was nothing around him, and Bronzebeard did not launch any attack. At this moment, the scene certainly looks very strange. But Xia En felt a little bit of admiration in his heart. He naturally knew what Burst was avoiding. Half of the mistake just now was due to his physical loss of control, and the other half was due to Xia En taking the initiative to use himself as bait, hoping to make Explosion relax his vigilance. As long as the explosion is as close as possible, the [Deep Touch] pouring out can kill him instantly. Unfortunately, Burst''s intuition was sharp enough that he was able to resist the urge to kill Xia En and retreat in time. At this time, Xia En''s [Secret Touch] was actually ready to come out. Burst''s seemingly meaningless dodge was to avoid this sense of crisis that came from nowhere. However, even though Explosion struggled to dodge for a moment, the sense of crisis never disappeared, but instead became stronger. Burst finally realized that this seemed to be some kind of combat technique that locked him, and he could no longer escape. After understanding this, Burst stopped his movements, took off his gloves and threw them on the ground. Then, he said directly: "No more fighting, I surrender." "I...surrender to you." His tone was still weird, but his meaning was clear. "ah?" Hearing this, Xia En had a strange expression. Judging from his previous performance, he had always thought that Burst was the type of berserker with a violent personality - the kind that wouldn''t stop until the last drop of blood was shed. How could such a person surrender? Xia En originally thought that Burst wanted to pretend to surrender and launch a sneak attack, but after careful observation for a while, he found that Burst really didn''t offer any resistance. After thinking about it carefully, Xia En barely understood Burst''s idea. His mindset is closer to that of a beast than a human. In other words, survival is placed above everything else. He may not understand what tribal belonging, morality, and emotions are. Now, Xia En has the ability to kill him directly, and there is no way to avoid the explosion, so naturally he can only choose this seemingly shameless method to survive. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "It is not impossible to accept your surrender." "But, in exchange, I want to completely control your life." Burst hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay..." "The most important thing is to survive..." So, Xia En walked up to Explosion, put his hand on top of his head, and injected [Secret Power of the Void] into it. This secret power developed many new uses in his hands. -This method of controlling life is one of them. The moment Xia En stretched out his hand, his explosive body obviously resisted, but he still resisted the urge to take action and slowly lowered his head. This is also his way of showing surrender. Seeing this, the surrounding [Warhammer Tribe] dwarves instantly became excited. They didn''t expect that Xia En not only defeated Burst, but even gained his surrender. I dont know who shouted first. "Bronzebeard!!" Immediately, everyone responded together. "Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard!" The dwarves shouted Sean''s name loudly, their faces full of excitement, excitement and admiration. After this battle, Shane''s prestige in the [Warhammer Tribe] can no longer be matched, and he has become a hero in the hearts of the dwarves! In a dark cave. "Ah...my head hurts." Ural woke up from a coma: "Here is..." He slowed down, rubbed his forehead, and looked around. He quickly came to the conclusion that this place seemed to be a cage-like cave. Apparently, he had been captured and imprisoned by the [Warhammer Tribe]. Next, what awaits him is the ending of becoming a slave or being killed. Ural was in a very gloomy mood. He never expected that this battle would end with such a result. At this moment, he found a piece of paper made of unknown leather lying in a corner not far ahead. "This is?" Ural approached the leather paper carefully. And just when he was about to touch the piece of paper, there seemed to be a whisper in his ear. Do you want power? Do you want to really...live? Ural''s body trembled, but he still reached out his hand without hesitation... Not long after. Feeling that another thread in his mind was connected between the [Rhine Secret Realm] and [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En raised a smile on his lips. After questioning and observing the captives, he ultimately selected Ural as his second "disciple." However, unlike Kuhl''s "fight alone", Shane hoped that Ural could publicize the existence of the "Lord of the Rhine" among the captives. After this attack by the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], it was certainly impossible for Xia En to just let it go. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, is his style. And then, after conquering the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], there will definitely be a large number of prisoners. Emotions such as hatred, anger, and despair are undoubtedly the best breeding ground for "cultists". In this way, more "threads" can be established between the two [secret realms]. The existence of [Lord of the Rhine] sounds too suspicious after all. Even with Xia En''s current prestige, if he promotes his existence in the [Warhammer Tribe], Hope will only be able to see through the nature of the "evil god" at a glance. Therefore, Xia Ens decision is On the surface, he continued to conquer other tribes and established a larger dwarf kingdom. And secretly, the [Lord of the Rhine] spread among the captives and slaves. When the time is right, send the dwarves into the [Rhine Secret Realm] batch by batch. In this way, he not only has a kingdom in the [Forge Secret Realm], but also allows the [Rhine Secret Realm] to enjoy the technology and equipment support of the dwarves. However, Shane''s plan has just begun. The road ahead is still very long. (End of chapter) Chapter 313 Return to the Rhine! The beast tide is coming! Chapter 313 Return to Rhine! The beast tide is coming! In the blink of an eye, several days passed. During these days of [Sneaking], Xia En has been tirelessly conquering the copy of [The Furnace Secret Realm]. After some hard work, Xia En successfully found the territory of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and conquered it with absolute power. In fact, when Blast followed Xia En to the leader of the [Wild Ax Tribe], the other party completely lost any desire to resist. Since the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] can surrender to the [Sunfire Tribe], it can naturally also offer its loyalty to the [Warhammer Tribe]. At the same time, because the original cave of the [Warhammer Tribe] became endangered in the explosion, their tribesmen simply temporarily moved into the territory of the [Barbarian Axe Tribe]. Although it sounds cruel, war between tribes is cruel in itself! If the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]''s attack succeeds, the people of the [Warhammer Tribe] will never be much better off than they are. During this process, Xia En was quite surprised by the explosive performance. Xia En originally thought that he would wait for an opportunity to escape, or betray him directly. But unexpectedly, Burst was honest from beginning to end. Not to mention defecting, he didn''t even show the emotion of wanting to leave. Not only that, when facing the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], Burst also took the initiative to reveal his tyrannical aura. It''s as if... he has become a member of the [Warhammer Tribe]. Xia En was still surprised by this at first, but after briefly asking about Explosion and the prisoners of the [Sun Flame Tribe], he suddenly came to his senses. It turns out that Burst is not actually a real member of the [Yang Yan Tribe]. Burst was a young man who was found in their lair after the [Yang Yan Tribe] went hunting and killed several [Fire Seeds]. No one knows which tribe he was an abandoned baby from. If I have to say it, [Yangyan Tribe] still has the hatred of killing "father" and "mother" against Burst. The reason why Burst obeyed the orders of the leader of the [Yangyan Tribe] was just because the leader was more powerful. It can be said that this is a helpless move for survival. In the same way, Burst can fight for the [Sunfire Tribe] for survival, and naturally he can also fight for the [Warhammer Tribe]. Realizing this, Xia En relaxed a lot on his guard against explosions. For someone who relies on wild instincts to fight, as long as you are always stronger than him, you can steadily suppress and drive him. Another thing worth mentioning is - After defeating the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], Xia En accepted the [Ancestor Totem] from the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] as a matter of course. Since the two tribes were once one family, the two [ancestral totems] were actually one. And when Xia En used the [Hammer of the God of War] to touch the [Ancestor Totem] of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], a strange change suddenly occurred. The mysterious ancient totem turned into molten iron in an instant and merged into the huge hammer of the [Hammer of the God of War]. This makes the lines on [War God''s Hammer] more magnificent and complete. The secret power contained in it becomes rich and full visibly to the naked eye. After buying it, Xia En felt an indescribable smooth texture, as if it had undergone a mysterious transformation. At the same time, the description of [War God''s Hammer] has also undergone some changes. [Hammer of the God of War (Incomplete)] [Quality: Legend] [Type: Weapon] [Description: The dwarves imitated the legendary artifact of the God of War and forged a warhammer that has been bound to your soul. [The ancestral totem with "Warhammer Tribe" engraved on it has become more complete by absorbing similar totems. [Effect 1: God of War SuppressionThis war hammer naturally suppresses the descendants of the God of War, reducing their combat effectiveness to a moderate extent. [The richer the blood of the God of War, the more intense the suppression will be. [Effect 2: Incomplete Totemthe ancestral totems of the dwarves are scattered throughout the "Furnace Secret Realm" for some special reason. [Completing the incomplete totem might give this weapon a new power, right? [Effect 3: Savagerythe special combat skill of the "Barbarian Ax Tribe" can enhance one''s own combat power in a short period of time, at the cost of reduced intelligence. "this" After reading these descriptions, Xia En couldn''t help but show a surprised expression. "Did it... directly swallow the totem of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]? And also unlocked new abilities?" Although Xia En had heard Hope say before that [Ancestral Totems] would become more powerful when put together. But this enhanced form of [War God''s Hammer] was still somewhat beyond his expectations. Not only that, it''s probably because this weapon is bound to Shane''s soul. In the process of its integration with the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] totem, Xia En''s body also received a unique feedback. His whole body was filled with warmth, and there was a stream of heat flowing through every cell, every muscle, and even deep in his soul. Indescribably comfortable and comfortable. To be honest, it feels quite similar to the feeling of bathing in the dragon''s blood pool. [Comprehensive quality +0.5! Seeing this prompt, Xia En''s eyes lit up. Although the overall quality of 0.5 is not much, it is definitely a lot. As Xia En''s overall quality continues to improve, the difficulty of this numerical improvement is gradually becoming greater. This is similar to the fact that in some games in the late stages, if you want to level up, you will need a huge amount of experience. Moreover, there is more than one ancestral totem fragment in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Continuously acquiring more [Ancestral Totems] will not only improve your overall quality, but also make [War God''s Hammer] more complete. Why not? Maybe... with enough [Ancestral Totems] absorbed, [War God''s Hammer] can be upgraded from [Legendary] to [Mythical] quality! Shane was looking forward to this. In addition to the actions in [The Furnace Realm], Shane also did not forget to use federal weapons and equipment to arm the people of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. After all, it was just the information collected by the [Yongyue Clan] scouts. A terrifying beast tide may sweep through the newly established [Rhine City] at any time. Whether it''s for the residents of [Rhine City] or to maintain this stable rear area, Xia En must withstand this beast tide. Coincidentally, in these days, the federal salvage ship had found the [Ember Treasure] in [Coral City] that Xia En had handed over, and started a salvage operation. According to the previous contract, every time the seeds of an ancient creature are discovered, Xia En will be given a certain amount of merit as a reward. To put it simply, it is - The final payment has arrived! With this merit and another transaction amount from Daisy, Shane purchased another batch of key weapons and transported them to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Because there is a strange and close connection between Xia En and the [Rhine Secret Realm], he can actually faintly detect the changes in the atmosphere in the secret realm. In other words. Xia En can roughly judge the time when the beast tide is coming. This is probably one of the privileges of the [Lord of the Rhine], right? On the day when the ominous premonition in his heart reached its peak, Xia En and his crew came to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Xia En originally wanted to take all the crew members except Xiaolong Xiange who was still sleeping. But unexpectedly, Vivian''s spirit body could not leave the crystal coffin and move alone. And for some unknown reason, the crystal coffin was unable to pass through the light gate formed by the [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. In desperation, Xia En had no choice but to leave this salted fish ghost on the [Black Swan] and treat it as staying to look after the family. Step through the door composed of silver light. The world before the crew members suddenly changed. "call" Joey couldn''t help but take a deep breath, smiled and sighed: "Sure enough, the air in [Rhine Secret Realm] is fresh!" Fairy Tracey was also very fond of the vibrant environment of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. She looked around curiously and exclaimed in a low voice. "It''s changed a lot from the last time I came here. Is that city so well built?" As for the existence of [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En had already informed his crew members, and he had brought them here more than once. [Rhine Secret Realm] can not only be used as a good training location, but also relieve the boredom of sailing for the crew. It works great in every sense of the word. However, because of the construction of the [Moon Ying Clan] and the Tree People, and Xia En converted a lot of money into equipment and invested it in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. The entire [Secret Realm], especially the area near [Rhine City], is changing rapidly. This is like an area on earth that developed rapidly during certain periods, almost changing every day. Therefore, every time they come, the crew will be novel and amazed by the changes in [Rhine City]. "Lord Holy Son!" Seeing Xia En and his party appear, Sha Jingjing, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted them. In her sparkling eyes, Xia En was almost the only one in sight. Of course Sha Jingjing also knew Joey and other crew members, but her attitude was vaguely alienated. Especially there is still a slight hostility towards Joey. Probably because she vaguely guessed that the reason why Xia En hadn''t had a child with her yet was related to this beautiful white-haired girl. But at this time, in addition to the usual joy and excitement, Sha Jingjing''s eyes also contained a bit of solemnity and uneasiness. In fact, [Rhine City] has entered a state of war readiness these days. The area for scouts to explore has been greatly reduced. Because the gathered beasts had already arrived at a place not too far away from [Rhine City]. An earth-shattering beast tide is about to sweep over. In this case, Xia En didn''t waste any time and took the crew directly to the city wall of [Rhine City]. "Lord Holy Son, according to your instructions, we have built five lines of defense." "It''s all basically finished now." At this time, Sha Jingjing showed her capable side again, reporting their results these days to Xia En. Obviously, at critical moments, this former tribal saint is still very reliable. Standing on the city wall, Xia En could have a panoramic view of the layout below. On the outermost line of defense is the detonating device he purchased from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance]. It can be roughly regarded as a mine array. When the beast tide comes, it will undoubtedly cause great damage. The second line of defense is a circle of special thorn-like plants. This is also a good thing that Shane bought from the Federation. To be precise, this is an alchemical creation called [Bloodthirsty Thorn]. It can be spawned by secret power, and will actively intercept and cut charging creatures, and will enter a violent state after absorbing blood. The lethality is not high, but it can greatly hinder the charging speed of the beasts. And speed is the most important factor in intercepting the beast tide. In addition, Xia En also purchased similar props such as [Swamp Magic Potion], [Ice Rose] and [Mudstone Soil]. By then, it will definitely give the beasts attacking [Rhine City] a surprise. As for the third, fourth, and fifth lines of defense, they were all designed by Xia En and painstakingly built by the [Yongyue Clan] and the tree people. At this time, looking at the completed defense line below, Xia En felt confident and whispered to Sha Jingjing. "Thank you for your hard work these days." Sha Jingjing quickly shook her head and said, "It''s not hard, it''s not hard." She scratched her cheek and said, "Without those things brought by the Holy Son, how could we have built five lines of defense in such a short period of time?" "It''s all the result of the Holy Son." "You can''t say that." Xia En shook his head: "The resources I provide are certainly important, but without your efforts, I wouldn''t be able to do this alone." "hey-hey" Sha Jingjing giggled twice and swung her tail quickly behind her. Obviously, she was very happy to be praised by Xia En. At this moment, Sha Jingjing thought of another thing and said. "By the way, Lord Holy Son, don''t you say something to everyone in the [Moon Yong Clan] and the Tree People Clan?" "Say something?" Hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment. He didn''t expect this. But think about it. Now that the beast tide is coming, we need to mobilize before the war to enhance the morale and confidence of the soldiers. In fact, there is no need for Xia En to take the initiative to call on people from both ethnic groups. In the process of walking up the wall of [Rhine City], the surrounding [Moon Yong Clan] and tree people had already gathered, looking at Xia En with awe, respect, gratitude and other emotions. Feeling everyone''s gaze, Xia En also had some special emotions in his heart. So, he looked around at everyone and said. "Everyone, I am Xia En, and I am also the lord of this [Rhine City]!" During this time, I witnessed it transform from a meadow to a city. I am both proud and gratified about thisthis is the city you built and your new home! "I think... you can be just as proud." Upon hearing this, both the [Yongyue Clan] and the tree people couldn''t help but smile. Being able to build your own new home with your own hands is an exciting thing in itself. "But" Xia En changed the topic and pointed seriously to the forest in the distance. "Now, those beasts want to destroy our home and drive us out of here!" "I will never allow this kind of thing!" "This battle has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is only about survival!" "For the sake of our homeland and the loved ones behind us, this battle... must be won!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "We must win! We must win!" "Must win!!" (End of chapter) Chapter 314 Times have changed! Mysterious flute sound? Chapter 314 Times have changed! Mysterious flute sound? "Must win!" "Rhine! Must win!!" As the people of [Rhine City] shouted, they gradually became one. Xia En had some strange feelings in his mind. It was as if there was an indescribable connection being established between him and the people below. To be honest, this connection is somewhat similar to the "threads" used by Kuhl and Ural when they prayed to the "Lord of the Rhine". But there are obvious differences. For example, this kind of "thread" is more of a one-sided emotional transmission between the [Moon Yong Clan] and the tree people. Shane could not peer into the perspective of these people like he could sense the perspective of Kull and Ural, nor could he transmit the [Secret Power of the Void]. Suddenly, Xia En had an enlightenment in his heart and secretly guessed. "Could it be that this is the so-called ''power of faith''?" The "power of faith" is invisible and intangible, but in this world, it might actually exist. Maybe [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect] can call upon this power. Although Xia En had deceived these two esoteric sects by pretending to be a [Hui Cult Believer] and a [Yousui Descendant], he himself had never had any true belief in the gods. But now, he has become the object of belief of the people of [Rhine Secret Realm]. This feeling... is quite novel? Regardless of what this power does, Xia En looked at the high-spirited people below and couldn''t help but smile with satisfaction. Although it was just a pre-war mobilization on a whim, it seems now that the effect is quite good. Moreover, Xia En vaguely noticed The people of [Rhine City] not only had their morale improved, but they also seemed to be blessed by an invisible force? Perhaps this is because, as the [Lord of the Rhine], Xia En already carries the help of [The Will of the Secret Realm]. At this time, through his encouragement to the people of [Rhine City], this blessing or "luck" was also distributed to them. It is equivalent to giving all members a [morale improvement] and [luck increase] buff, which also gives them a little more chance of survival in the next battle. at the same time. The crew members behind him also looked at Xia En with surprised eyes. Although they had seen Xia En giving orders on the ship, it was still within the normal scope of a captain. But now, standing on the city wall of [Rhine City], feeling the heartfelt worship and respect shown by the residents, everyone was inevitably shocked. Joey opened his beautiful eyes wide, filled with wonder. "It turns out that this is how Mr. Captain is treated in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. He is almost like a lord...oh no, like a king!" When Feiya was in [Silver Moon Island], as the son of a consul, she could be regarded as enjoying a "noble" life for a period of time. However, the attitude of the residents of [Silver Moon Island] towards the consul cannot be compared with the support of the residents of [Rhine Secret Realm] towards Xia En. Because of this, Fei Ya understands how rare and rare this situation is. If this kind of support and trust is passed down from generation to generation. Then, [Rhine City] will undoubtedly become a reliable and powerful reserve force for Xia En in the future! Maybe by then, Xia En can pull out a fully armed army anytime and anywhere. Just imagining that situation, Fei Ya felt a surge of emotion. However, everyone''s amazement and emotion did not last long. Because at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the distance. Rumble Xia En looked towards the direction where the roar came from. I saw a black line appearing on the ground in the distance at some point, rushing towards the [Rhine City]. The ground began to tremble, and a melancholy roar of beasts sounded in the distant forest. The roar was like a wave, and there were probably at least thousands of ferocious beasts. And when they rushed out of the forest, they seemed to turn into a dense black cloud, with a majestic momentum, overwhelming force, and an extremely strong sense of oppression. Just looking at them makes people feel breathless. [Yongyue Clan] and the Shuren Clan watched this scene intently, holding their breath as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Xia En''s face was also a little solemn. In [Rhine Secret Realm], a single alien beast actually has very limited strength and is not terrible. But when their numbers continue to stack up and charge together, their power can only be described as terrifying. Just like in the cold weapon era, hundreds or thousands of cavalry charges were simply an unstoppable torrent for the civilization of that era. The power of an individual seems extremely small in the face of such a tide of beasts. I am afraid that only the legendary strong ones have the ability to defeat the beasts alone. Moreover, [Rhine City] also has a fatal flaw. That is The population is too small! Even if a newborn baby has been born in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the remaining baby cannot quickly become a usable combat force. Due to the characteristics of the [Yongyue Clan], all members of the tribe are soldiers. Apart from the elderly and children, the number of people who can be used as a fighting force is only about 500. As for the number of tree people, it is even rarer. The number of ferocious beasts that broke into sight now was at least a thousand. One can imagine how much pressure they will feel when the beast tide really approaches [Rhine City]. Moreover, Xia En still has a small wish in his heart. He did not want any people from [Rhineland] to die in this beast wave. Even if this idea sounds unrealistic, how can you know whether it can be done if you dont try it? boom! boom- The speed of the black line seemed very slow, but in fact it was surprisingly fast. In the blink of an eye, he pushed forward hundreds of meters. As the beast tide approached, the vibrations on the ground and the roar in the distance became increasingly clear. In the billowing smoke, the open mouths, sharp teeth, and scarlet eyes of the alien beasts were all vaguely visible. Seeing such a scene, even the Yongyue clan members who had been encouraged felt a little frightened. "Gulu..." Some people couldn''t help but swallowed their saliva, their throats felt dry. Although Xia En looked serious, his mind was always as calm as ice and snow. Looking at the violent beast, not only did he have a doubt in his mind. Under normal conditions, the creatures in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are generally relatively docile, especially those herbivoreseven the [Moon Wing Tribe] can be kept in captivity without much domestication. But now, they have shown their ferocious side and joined the beast tide. Moreover, the arrival of this beast tide is already full of doubts. Even if these local beasts want to destroy [Rhine City], they will not hide first and then swarm out after accumulating a certain number. This series of anomalies is simply like...someone is controlling this beast tide. Shane''s intuition told him that there might be some key secret hidden behind this. But at this time, it is obviously not the time to think deeply about this issue. Because, the distance between the beast tide and [Rhine City] has once again been greatly shortened. Not to mention the general Yongyue clan members, even Joey, Fei Ya and other battle-experienced crew members also showed some nervousness. Sha Jingjing bit her lip and asked in a low voice. "Lord Holy Son, do you want to..." "It''s not time yet." Xia En waved his hand and said, "Wait until they enter the maximum lethal range." "I will give the order when the time comes." Hearing this, Sha Jingjing''s eyes brightened slightly, as if she had gained some confidence again, and she nodded heavily and said, "Yes." Not only Sha Jingjing, but other Yongyue clan members are also waiting for Xia En''s order. Because of this, Xia En became more and more calm. If you want to achieve the achievement of zero casualties, you have to do every detail to the extreme. Not long after, Xia En waited for the arrival of the fighter plane. Just when the black crowd of beasts was less than a hundred meters away from the first line of defense, Xia En''s eyes burst into light and he shouted an order. "fire!" Following Xia En''s order, the Yongyue clan members who had been prepared for a long time immediately took action resolutely. On the city wall, heavy cannons began to be loaded and fired. -These heavy artillery are naturally the equipment Xia En purchased on [Liu Li Island]. They generally look silly, big, dark, and thick, and their accuracy can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but they are easy to operate, have large enough caliber, and are powerful enough! Just right for resisting the large-scale incoming beast tide. No shooting accuracy is required, just blast violently into the beast tide. It can be regarded as a targeted weapon purchased by Xia En to deal with this crisis. However, before many clumsy cannons were fired, beside Xia En, a strange heavy cannon with magnificent purple lines was ready to go. It''s the enhanced [Magic Heavy Cannon]! In order to deal with this beast tide, Xia En temporarily detached it from the [Black Swan] and brought it to the [Rhine Secret Realm]! At this moment, as the secret power continues to gather, the light in the muzzle of the heavy artillery becomes brighter and brighter. Then boom! ! An extremely thick beam of light poured out from the muzzle of the [Magic Heavy Cannon], blasting into the beast tide at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. "roar-" The giant, colorful tiger that bore the brunt of the attack only had time to let out an unwilling roar before it was completely melted by the surging beam of light. Immediately, the energy beam did not dissipate, but continued to penetrate the bodies of dozens of beasts. A ravine hundreds of meters long and several meters deep was plowed on the ground. The soil was scorched black and even showed signs of melting under the high temperature. Not to mention the corpses of the beasts that were swallowed up by the light, not even a single bone was left behind. Only a little bit of the burnt aroma of barbecue remains in the air. Such a ferocious and terrifying shot naturally stopped the momentum of the beast tide. Those beasts that had a brush with death could not help but show a little flinch and fear. However, the charge of the entire beast tide has been launched, and it will not stop just because of the pause of one or two alien beasts. As a result, these beasts were trampled under the feet of their companions after just a moment''s movement, and instantly turned into a ball of flesh. Seeing this terrifying beam of light crossing the battlefield, the members of the [Yongyue Clan] couldn''t help but let out a cheer. "The Holy Son has taken action!" At the same time, the artillery on the walls of [Rhine City] also began to roar in unison. boom! boom! boom! The solid shells hit the beasts like a rainstorm, causing dust to fly and the ground to shake. For every cannonball that fell, at least two to three alien beasts died. The fragments of the shells will also cause considerable secondary damage to nearby animals. For a time, roars, roars, and vibrations resounded throughout the battlefield outside [Rhine City]. Compared to the collision of cold weapons in the [Forge Secret Realm], the war in the [Rhine Secret Realm] has obviously entered the era of hot weapons. Of course, it was Xia En''s side that unilaterally entered the era of hot weapons. Xia En invested so many golden dragon coins, which naturally played a role at the critical moment. In this round of shelling alone, hundreds of alien beasts died on the spot, and countless more were injured. In fact, those beasts injured by cannonballs will become obstacles to the beast tide because of pain and fear. In fact, even the lighting of the light beam and the roar of the cannonballs themselves had caused quite a panic among the beasts. After all, these indigenous creatures have always lived in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Not to mention cannonballs, even gunpowder has never been seen. Beasts will naturally be frightened by weapons like this that produce loud noises and cause damage to the body. Seeing some signs of chaos in the beast tide, Xia En''s eyes flashed with joy. Again, a few beasts alone are not scary. Only when they gather together will they pose a threat to [Rhine City]. Strange beasts, times have changed! But at this moment. Another distant and desolate flute sounded from the direction of the forest. The tune was strange and ancient, as if it came from an extremely long time ago. After the flute sounded, several skunk-like beasts in the beast crowd immediately lit up with red eyes and sprayed a strange white smoke from their tails. Where the white smoke dispersed, the alien beasts seemed to be in a state of rage. Their breathing became heavy, their eyes were scarlet, veins popped out, and the muscles all over their bodies moved abnormally. Fear and pain all turned into bloodthirsty instincts. "roar!!" "Ouch!" The next moment, many strange beasts roared again and charged faster than before. It was as if the previous bombardment had never happened. "This is?!" Seeing this scene, Xia En frowned. The flute sound just now was obviously not a sound that a wild beast could make. It was definitely the work of some kind of intelligent creature. Could it be said that those are the indigenous residents of the [Rhine Secret Realm]? If this is the case, doesn''t the sound of the flute just mean that the natives have the ability to control native beasts? Then, the source of this beast tide seems to have been revealed. However, what is more important now than those longer-term things is to solve the immediate crisis. laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh! Without Xia En''s reminder, Sha Jingjing beside her picked up her long bow and shot at the skunk-like beasts. However, as the white smoke spreads, they have completed their mission. And now, the once again violent beast tide has rushed into the first line of defense of [Rhine City]! (End of chapter) Chapter 315 Beheading operation! [Mind Seizing Technique]! Chapter 315 Beheading operation! [Mind Seizing Technique]! Only a "boom" was heard. The galloping beasts slammed into the first line of defense arranged by Xia En, and instantly detonated the devices buried underground. The violent explosion directly flew several alien beasts away, and the alien beasts that were close were blown to pieces. However, it was different from the previous situation where I panicked when I heard the explosion. At this time, the alien beasts seemed to be on stimulants, completely ignoring the terrible explosion and rushing forward regardless of their own safety. Even the beasts that were blown to the ground struggled to stand up and charge again. It was as if the **** wounds on his body were all fake. In fact, the strange beasts in [Rhine Secret Realm] are harder to kill than the ordinary beasts in [Seven Seas World]. They live in a vibrant environment and naturally have strong bodies. The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the strength is endless. The most important thing is that he has strong vitality and will not die immediately even after being seriously injured. At this time, stimulated by the white smoke of the skunks that looked like "special troops", the alien beasts'' adrenaline hormones were violently secreted, making them no longer afraid of pain. In this way, even seriously injured beasts can still have the ability to move and merge into the surging beast tide. Although after the rage, they will definitely die miserably due to exhaustion of strength. But at least now, they have brought a lot of trouble to [Rhine City]''s defense. Buzz-boom! The second charged beam of [Magic Heavy Cannon] kicked off the second round of bombardment. In an instant, a loud noise like thunder roared outside the entire city. The shells roared across the sky, and then fell into the beast wave at the end of the parabola, stirring up waves of sand and leaving large craters with blood on the ground. Coupled with the "mine array" buried underground, the killing effect caused by this round of explosion is definitely considerable. However, Xia En''s brows still did not loosen. Because his most important goal was not achieved The speed of the entire beast wave did not slow down, and even increased by a point or two due to the effect of "Violent White Smoke". This is definitely not what Xia En wants to see. In less than five minutes, the beast tide basically broke through the area where the first line of defense was. Although the alien beasts suffered heavy casualties during this process, the death of their companions and the smell of blood in the air inspired their ferocity. At this time, the beasts at the forefront of the beast wave were generally seriously injured. One giant rhinoceros was blasted with blood all over its face, and shrapnel was stuck in the wound. The leopard-shaped beast next to it was missing a leg and half of its tail. But even so, they still let out terrifying roars from their mouths, their eyes were full of blood, and they seemed to feel no pain at all. Dragging their broken bodies, they rushed towards the [Rhine City] with all their strength. To be honest, the picture itself is quite impressive. Those who are less courageous may not even have the courage to resist in the face of this kind of beast tide. Xia En was inexplicably reminded of some zombie movies he had seen in his previous life. The so-called "Zombie Rising" was probably nothing more than this, right? That''s when. The violent beast tide has crossed the "mine field" and broke into the second line of defense that is filled with [bloodthirsty thorns] and other alchemical creations. Tsk- As soon as they rushed into this area, the beast wave heard the sound of flesh being torn apart. The surface of the [Bloodthirsty Thorns] is covered with barbs and barbs, coupled with the ferocious speed of the beasts. The sudden impact on it was like hitting an iron net covered with spikes, instantly tearing off strips of skin and flesh. It was **** and looked extremely miserable. If it were an ordinary thorn, it would naturally not be able to intercept the charging beasts, and might be torn and torn into pieces in the first place. However, [Bloodthirsty Thorns] is a product that Xia En spent a lot of money to buy after all. Each thorn is extremely tough, like a large net forged from fine steel. Even if Xia En wanted to tear them apart, it would take a lot of effort. Not only that, when the flesh was torn off and the blood was drawn, these [bloodthirsty thorns] changed strangely again. Their activity is greatly enhanced, and blood seems to be flowing in the roots, stimulating the body to grow and spread in ways that go against common sense. Each thorn is like a tentacle wrapped around the beasts caught in it. The barbs on it seemed to have turned into sharp teeth, constantly biting the flesh and blood of the beasts and sucking their blood! The beasts of [Rhine Secret Realm] are not the only creatures that can go crazy! [Bloodthirsty Thorn] This kind of alchemical creation, just like its name, will enter the second form when it comes into contact with blood, and crazily gnaws all living creatures nearby. The higher the quality of the blood, the more powerful the [Bloodthirsty Thorns] can be. It just so happens that the blood of the beasts in [Rhine Secret Realm] naturally contains strong vitality. It is the best nourishment for [Bloodthirsty Thorns]! Even in some areas of the Federation, it is treated as a taboo contraband. The danger of this kind of alchemical creation is evident. Moreover, it is different from one-time explosive damage such as artillery strikes and landmines. [Bloodthirsty Thorns] Once it bites its prey, it will never let go. Even if the branches are torn off, the spikes embedded in the prey''s body will continue to cause negative effects such as [bleeding], [tearing], [poisoning], and [paralysis] to the prey. Thereby reducing the speed of the entire beast tide. At this time, just as Xia En expected, intercepted by the [Bloodthirsty Thorns], the beasts were entangled in the thorns and their speed was greatly reduced. Many huge ferocious beasts continued their charge, plowing deep furrows on the ground. The one in front just stopped, and the one behind hit it again. In the blink of an eye, the beasts rolled over and fell all over the ground. Just the trampling and collision between wild beasts caused a lot of casualties. Seeing this, everyone''s eyes flashed with joy. "The speed of the beast tide has slowed down!" Xia En made a prompt decision and started the third round of bombardment while the beasts were entangled in thorns. But just as the shells rained down. The ancient mysterious flute sound came from the forest again, but this time the flute sound was obviously much faster. Immediately, among the beasts, several existences that were obviously different from other beasts emerged. A giant white elephant with metallic scales looked up to the sky and roared. The next moment, there was an invisible air barrier blocking the beast tide. The cannonballs falling on it only caused waves of vibrations, but could not cause any damage to the beasts below. On the other side, a petite fire fox with red and soft hair rushed to the forefront of the beast tide, spitting out a sea of ??fire at the [bloodthirsty thorns] in front of it. Of course, the flames will also cause considerable damage to the beasts, but compared to the entanglement of the [bloodthirsty thorns], it is much better. Moreover, the burning caused by the fire can also temporarily seal the injuries on the alien beasts. I have to say, this is a very smart decision. Its so smart that its not like the ferocious beasts could figure it out on their own. This made Xia En even more convinced that behind this beast tide, there might be control by the natives of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. However, the [Moon Yong Tribe] and the Tree People have obviously moved into the [Rhine Secret Realm] for some time. The scope of exploration is also gradually expanding. But why have we never found the territory where the indigenous people lived or the traces of civilization? Xia En was quite puzzled by this. Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xia En''s eyes were fixed on the ferocious beasts with different abilities. Obviously, they are alien species in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. In other words, he is the king of beasts born among the beasts. It is not difficult to see from their methods that they have learned some rough methods of using secret power. If left unchecked, the effectiveness of conventional means such as the cannonballs and [Bloodthirsty Thorns] prepared by Shane would be greatly attenuated. Just when Xia En was considering whether to take action himself. Fei Ya on the side volunteered and said, "Captain Xia En, those beast kings can be dealt with by me and An." Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised: "Feiya, you..." In his mind, this was not something Fei Ya would say. After all, Feiya''s position on the ship is more like a priest or a steam mechanic, and he rarely needs to take action personally. Fei Ya smiled slightly: "Actually, with the awakening of my bloodline, I have recently unlocked some new combat abilities." "It''s just suitable for this kind of group battle situation, so I want to practice with them." "and" Fei Ya glanced at the Moon Yong tribe and the tree people below, and said bluntly: "Besides us, no one can complete this task, right?" Although Fei Ya''s words were a bit straightforward, they also pointed out a key issue in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. That is Too little high-end combat power! Except for Xia En, the [Lord of the Rhine], there are not many strong men in the [Yongyue Tribe] who can do anything. Although the tree people are physically strong, they are naturally slow and cumbersome, equivalent to tanks on the battlefield. Damage resistance is a good thing, but it is a bit difficult to let them perform decapitation actions. Especially in such a swarm of beasts, large targets will undoubtedly become the targets of siege. Therefore, Xia En actually placed the tree people on the third line of defense. I want to wait until the speed of the beast tide decreases to a certain level before letting them take the field. As for Xia En himself, it is not impossible to take action now. But after all, he is the city lord of [Rhine City], which is equivalent to the final trump card. It would be a bit hasty to reveal it at the first opportunity. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Xia En decided to trust Fei Ya''s judgment. "Then, be careful!" After Xia En made his decision, Fei Ya and Fei Ya were about to join the battlefield when Joey said, "Wait a moment, I''ll add some auxiliary spells to you." As he spoke, Joey chanted magic at an extremely fast speed, adding spells such as [Light Body], [Body Strengthening], [Secret Power Reversal Acceleration] and so on in one breath, and then stopped. "Thanks." Feiya waved her hands and spread a pair of wings made of blood behind her. At the same time, An also quickly adjusted the armor to "flight mode." Immediately afterwards, the two of them flew into the beast tide below one after the other. The reason why Xia En felt comfortable letting them carry out such a dangerous mission was because he knew their flying capabilities. In such a battle situation, being able to fly means being able to leave the battlefield at any time. In fact, Feiya''s performance far exceeded Xia En''s expectations. Perhaps because of the special nature of the [Holy Bloodline] bloodline, after Fei Ya entered the beast group, the nearby beasts immediately showed a slight awe, as if they were afraid to approach him. However, in a beast tide, it is inevitable that strange beasts will involuntarily approach Feiya''s location. At this time, Feiya let out a low growl from her mouth. The roar was not loud, and might sound cute to ordinary people, but it made the surrounding beasts instinctively fearful. There were even many beasts whose legs weakened and collapsed on the ground. However, there are also many ferocious beasts that are stimulated by the white smoke and become ferocious, and are not deterred by Fei Ya. At this time, the benefits of playing in pairs become apparent. An fully demonstrated the protective abilities a knight should have, and defended Fei Ya from all attacks from behind. It was like becoming his shadow. The target of the two people was suddenly the giant elephant using the "shield" ability. After solving it, [Rhine City]''s artillery support can continue to be effective. The giant white elephant is covered in scales and has rough skin and thick flesh, making it difficult to kill it with conventional methods. The giant elephant seemed to know this, so he looked at the two small people in front of him with a hint of contempt. It''s like saying, I''m standing here, what can you do to me? Feiya was not impatient and landed directly on the giant white elephant, her feet as steady as if they were rooted. Then he said to Ann: "Give me a moment." Ann didn''t speak, but the silent knight was a symbol of reliability. One beast after another kept coming, but An''s figure was always as steady as a rock in the sea. It seemed that no matter how many wild beasts came, they could not shake his figure. At the same time, Fei Ya''s eyes turned pale gold, as if searching for something in the giant elephant''s body. After a moment, blood flashed in his eyes. "Found it." Immediately, Feiya stretched out her hand, as if grabbing something in the dark, and then... pulled hard! Tsk! A huge, fat heart appeared from his hands. Feiya used one hand to crush it. There was a bang and blood splattered everywhere. The giant white elephant let out a startled cry, and its huge body fell to the ground. This newly awakened innate ability was named [Mind Seizing Technique] by Feiya. It can directly seize the enemy''s heart, but it requires a certain amount of casting time. It was a creature with limited mobility like the giant white elephant that gave Feiya the opportunity to use the [Mind Seizing Technique]. Seeing the giant white elephant crashing to the ground, a burst of cheers erupted in [Rhine City] again. Although the "little girl" looks very thin, "her" record has proven her strength. Naturally, he gained the respect of the people of [Rhine City]. Xia En vaguely remembered the first time he met Fei Ya. -Although he looks gentle, he has never been a vase. Perhaps...such a battlefield is more suitable for Fei Ya to perform? (End of chapter) Chapter 316 A bumper harvest and an unexpected surprise! Chapter 316 A bumper harvest and an unexpected surprise! As if stimulated by this scene, Sha Jingjing''s eyes changed slightly. Although she, Feiya and others are all Xia En''s subordinates, the relationship between the two parties is not that close, but there are some gaps. It''s like two factions under one company. Sha Jingjing is from the [Rhine] line, while Fei Ya and others are the orthodox direct descendants of the [Black Swan]. It is definitely not hostile, but it is inevitable that the idea of ????"not wanting to compare differences" will arise, which can be regarded as a beneficial competition model. So Sha Jingjing took the initiative to speak. "Lord Holy Son, leave that fire fox to me." Before she finished speaking, she picked up her long bow. The dark yellow secret power gradually accumulates on the arrow, giving people the feeling that the arrow will hit it no matter what. This is an ancient skill mastered by Sha Jingjing, which gives bows and arrows a "sure hit" effect. At this time, the target she was aiming at was the fire fox that breathed fire at the [Bloodthirsty Thorns]. Compared with the giant white elephant standing still, this fire fox''s movements are extremely flexible and agile. It was like a jumping flame elf, moving around at the front of the beast tide, and it was difficult to catch its figure with the eyes. Precisely because of its petite size and rapid speed, even Fei Ya and the two of them had difficulty catching up with it in the tide of beasts. suddenly. As if aware of the hidden danger, the soft hair on Fire Fox''s body exploded instantly. It spread its legs, its speed surged again, and it dodged crazily in the tide of beasts, trying to avoid the fatal murderous intention. However, all these actions are in vain! As Sha Jingjing loosened the bowstring in her hand, the dark yellow arrow flew out suddenly. Its flight trajectory is completely different from ordinary arrows, as if it flies directly across space. One second it was near the city wall, and the next second it appeared beside the fire fox, shooting into the body of the beast king at a tricky angle. There was a "chi" sound, and blood spattered. Firefox''s body stiffened suddenly, and then let out a sharp cry of pain. But this arrow obviously can''t really kill it. then The second, third...and even the fifth long dark yellow arrow came to the fire fox one after another like chasing the stars and chasing the moon. It penetrated the Fire Fox''s body from all directions and turned it into a little hedgehog. Immediately, surging secret power erupted from the arrow, destroying the flesh and blood inside the fire fox wantonly. This strange beast finally couldn''t bear the torture and died completely after spitting out a mouthful of blood. After shooting these five life-threatening arrows in one breath, Sha Jingjing''s little face was also white as snow. She couldn''t help but breathe heavily, and her hands holding the bow were trembling slightly. Obviously, this kind of output method also puts a lot of burden on Sha Jingjing. However, even though Sha Jingjing was so tired, she still looked at Xia En with bright eyes. The meaning in that look is clearly saying "Come on, praise me! Come on, praise me!" Xia En saw Sha Jingjing''s thoughts at a glance, so he reached out to touch the top of her head and praised her at the same time. "Well done, you did a great job." "hey-hey" Sha Jingjing smiled with enjoyment, and her tail behind her swung like a propeller. Her loyal dog nature has become more and more obvious. However, Xia En''s gesture of reaching out and touching his head was just out of habit - just like petting the big dog at home, it had no special meaning. But at the same time, a slightly resentful look came from behind Xia En. Who is it if not Joey? Xia En''s arm suddenly stiffened. But then I thought about it, he didn''t do anything bad. He was just petting his own big dog. What was there to panic about? Even so, Xia En calmly retracted his hand. Then, Joey spoke. "Mr. Captain, I''m going to take action too." After saying that, a serious look appeared on Joey''s pretty face, and he began to chant a slightly lengthy spell. Different from the previous auxiliary spells, this magical spell is particularly obscure and difficult to understand, and the huge secret power gathers around the girl like a storm. Her long silver-white hair moved automatically without wind, showing a mithril-like texture in the sunlight. Those ruby-like pupils even flashed with a faint blue halo. The next moment. A soft drink came from Joey''s mouth. The surging secret power suddenly poured out. The target is not the tide of beasts below, but the ground beneath the beasts'' feet. boom! A large area of ??soil collapsed with a crash, and the beasts'' bodies fell uncontrollably into the pit. Just one fall caused many beasts to be seriously injured, making it difficult for them to get up again. Not only that, the soil in the pit quickly softened into something like a swamp. The beasts lost most of their ability to move just by stepping on it. The more you struggle, the deeper you sink. This is the chain magic of [Subterranean Spell] plus [Swamp Spell]. Simply speaking, these two spells themselves are not particularly high-level magic. But when used together, especially on the battlefield where the beast tide is attacking at this time, it has an unexpected effect. And the scene was extremely spectacular, as almost one-third of the beast tide was affected by these two magics. The roars and wails of the ferocious beasts suddenly echoed through the sky. The speed of the entire beast wave slowed down instantly. In fact, with Joey''s current ability, it is not impossible to cast more lethal magic. But the girl knew very well that right now, it was more important to control their progress than to kill the ferocious beasts, so as not to cause an impact on [Rhine City]. Apparently, Joey''s strategy worked! However, the scope of these two spells is so wide, and it also puts a huge burden on her. Therefore, after the spell was cast, Joey''s face immediately turned white, his body swayed, and he was about to fall backwards. Fortunately, Xia En had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately stepped forward to support Joey. Joey fell into Xia En''s arms, still on his shoulders, and glanced provocatively at Sha Jingjing next to him. Sha Jingjing was a little worried about her at first, but when she saw her provocative eyes, she suddenly woke up. Well, it turns out she had all planned it! Deliberately draining all his magic power, he fell so weak into the arms of the Holy Son! ''hateful! Despicable stranger! Sha Jingjing''s eyes widened. She was just a little loyal, not stupid! However, Sha Jingjing could not think of a way to expose Joey. Moreover, no matter what Joy was thinking, judging from the results, she did use up her secret power, which in exchange for the restricted movement of many beasts, protected [Rhine City] in disguise. If anything, Sha Jingjing would have to thank her! Because of this, Sha Jingjing could only stare at Joey angrily, but couldn''t say a word. Of course, Xia En didn''t know about the potential intrigue between the two women, so he just praised her sincerely. "Joy, you did a great job, thank you for your hard work." But at this time, Joey whispered: "That, I want too..." "What do you want?" Xia En was stunned, not understanding the girl''s intention. But after Joey pointed to the top of his head, he suddenly realized. It turned out to be a head-touch! After thinking about this clearly, Xia En couldn''t help but smile bitterly. You are not a big dog of the [Yongyue Tribe], why are you obsessed with touching your head? However, Joey''s requirements are tricky, but they are actually very satisfying. Shane touched Joey''s little head while looking down the city wall. In fact, due to the chain reaction of this plan [Subterranean Technique] and [Swamp Technique], the situation has basically been decided. Although the ferocious beasts are still resisting fiercely, they are now like beached whales or tigers in cages. The threat has been greatly reduced. As long as you patiently remove their claws and eliminate their vitality, [Rhine City] can completely swallow this beast tide. Xia En knew from the beginning that this beast tide was not only a crisis, but also a great opportunity. From the corpse of such a strange beast, I dont know how much flesh and blood can be cut off, and how many bones and scales can be obtained. The former is an important food reserve, while the latter are all good materials. Whether it is for personal use or sold to the Seven Seas for money, it can bring great benefits to [Rhine City]. And in the beast tide, there must be many beasts that can survive. Xia En plans to exchange some of the alien species for merit in the Federation, and the remaining part can be raised in [Rhine City] first. Use contracts, magic and other means to help them become [Rhine City]. In the future, whether it is to prepare them [Rhine City], officially convert them into regular workers, or domesticate them into livestock that lay eggs and produce milk, these are all things that can be considered. It also happens to solve the problem of insufficient mid-to-high-end combat power in [Rhine Secret Realm]. It can be said that as long as it eats this wave of beasts, [Rhine City] will definitely usher in a rapid development period. An inappropriate metaphor. In fantasy novels, a tide of beasts is like a catastrophe from the [Rhine Secret Realm]. If you can''t resist it, everything will come to an end. But if you get through it, you can actually get a lot of benefits from it. At this time, the battle between Fei Ya and An continued. A ferocious beast covered in armor lowered its head and charged towards the two men fiercely. Fei Ya was lifted up by the wind, soaring lightly into the air. The glove in her hand transformed into a long knife. With a single stab, it went straight into the armored beast''s vitals, reaching as deep as the handle. He ran with the armored beast for a while, then jumped towards another ferocious beast. The armored beast ran for hundreds of meters, minding its own business, when suddenly its legs gave way and it fell to the ground. Feiya''s fighting style is completely different from before, becoming more agile and agile. All ferocious beasts that come into contact with him will fall to the ground after a while - this is another [Holy Bloodborn] talent that he has awakened. Watching Feiya''s battle is like enjoying a song and dance, which is indescribably pleasing to the eye. Ann on the other side took another route. Open and close, simple and rough. The big sword swung horizontally in the tide of beasts, sweeping down one piece, and then swung it horizontally, sweeping down another group... Seeing the swamps all over the ground and the results of Fei Ya''s battle, Xia En felt quite emotional and happy. It turned out that without even realizing it, his crew had grown to such an extent that everyone had become a capable person. You don''t even need to take action yourself, you can basically survive this beast crisis. However, at this moment. In the tide of beasts, a shocking roar suddenly sounded. "roar!!" A giant creature that looked like a wild boar stood out from the chaotic tide of beasts. Although this wild boar looks like a living thing, it is very different from other ferocious beasts. Its body is silver-white, and both its hair and skin give people a texture closer to stone than flesh. It''s like a strange creature made of silver and white stones. Moreover, as the stone pig moved, the mud under its feet miraculously returned to its normal state. There seemed to be an invisible area surrounding the silver-white stone pig, and it was still expanding as it moved. Its like a special field! The appearance of this stone pig allowed the ferocious beasts trapped in the quagmire to regain a certain degree of mobility and have a tendency to charge again. Seeing this scene, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. "Wait...what is that?" Although he had never seen a similar creature in the [Rhine Secret Realm], he noticed a very familiar aura of mysterious power from the silver-white stone pig. After carefully sensing it for a moment, Xia En showed a surprised expression. "Is this breath [Rhinestone]?" To be more precise, it is the breath of [Rhinestone Essence]! In other words, this entire silver-white stone pig is made of [Rhinestone Essence]? Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a bit of fire in his eyes. Good guy, there is such a treasure in [Rhine Secret Realm]? You know, the current sales volume of [Rhinestone] in the Federation is so good that even Xia En is amazed. In particular, the higher-quality [Rhinestone Essence] has become a hot commodity that is in short supply. Whether it is in the Federation Navy or the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], it is extremely popular. Ms. Sophie, who was in charge of the contact, urged me several times to ask if there was more inventory. If Xia En hadn''t been blinded by greed, he might have wanted to sell the stone essence used to build [Rhine City]. It can also be seen from this. Even in the [Rhine Secret Realm], [Rhinestone Essence] is a relatively scarce resource. And now, there is actually such a huge stone pig made entirely of [Rhinestone Essence]. How can this not make Xia En excited? On the side, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized. "I remember that some time ago, there were traces of animal activity in the mine where [rhinestone] was excavated." "So it turns out that this [Rhinestone Essence] is a naturally formed magical creature?" "[Rhine Secret Realm] is really magical..." at the same time. A line of text flashed across Shane''s panel. [Exploration degree +0.8%! A realization arose in Xia En''s heart. It was like discovering some important and unique species, which caused a change in the [Exploration Degree]. Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, stepped on the ground hard, jumped up high, and headed straight for the silver-white stone pig. In mid-air, he activated the effect of [Giant Wristwheel]. Amidst the roar of Qi and blood, Xia En''s body continued to expand and expand. boom- With an earth-shattering vibration, a majestic giant fell in front of the stone pig. (End of chapter) Chapter 317 Conquer all the money, Xian Ge wakes up! Chapter 317 Conquer Panman, Xiange wakes up! Boom Where Xia En fell, spider web-like cracks spread on the ground. Then, the ground sank, forming a large pit that happened to contain him and the silver-white [Rhinestone Pig]. This dull loud noise not only hit the ground, but also hit the hearts of all beasts. "Aww..." The oppressive feeling brought by the huge size and ferocious power made the nearby strange beasts instinctively feel fear and even let out low whines. Previous shelling, landmines, [Bloodthirsty Thorns], chain spells... Although it also brought a great impact to the beast tide, in the eyes of the alien beasts with low intelligence, it was more like a "natural disaster" rather than a specific enemy. As for Fei Ya and An''s actions, they only affected the beast tide on a smaller scale. Many more beasts are not even aware of their existence. But now, such a giant fell from the sky, which naturally attracted the attention of most beasts. It also made them feel a gap in life levels. In addition, the violent effect of the white smoke began to fade, and the fear of powerful life forms resurfaced. It can be said that this giant awakened their fear of being dominated. The strange beasts around him didn''t even have the courage to attack the giant Xia En. On the other hand, in [Rhine City], the morale of the Moon Yong clan and the tree people reached its peak because of Xia En''s action. It was actually the first time for many of them to see Shane transform into a giant. But since he is the Holy Son, it is normal to master any kind of ability. -They have long been numbed by Xia En''s shock, so they have strong "surprise resistance" and self-repair ability. I dont know who shouted first. "Lord of the Rhine!" Then, people started shouting Xia En''s title in unison. "Lord of the Rhine! Lord of the Rhine! Lord of the Rhine!" Waves of louder sounds began to echo in [Rhine City]. At the same time, their awe, admiration, excitement and other emotions seemed to be continuously transmitted to Xia En through those invisible threads. Xia En has already thought of a way to use this superficial "power of faith". His [Secret Power of the Void] can assimilate and swallow most of the secret power, and this "power of faith" is no exception. He does not use the "power of faith" directly, but uses it after secondary transformation. The reason why he did this was because Xia En vaguely realized that directly using this "power of faith" might bring about some unknown changes. As for whether this change was good or bad, Xia En didn''t know yet, so he chose this lower-risk method. Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En lowered his head and looked at the silver-white stone pig below. It has to be said that compared to other strange beasts, this stone pig is already very large. If he stood upright, he would not be much shorter than the giant Xia En. Moreover, its courage is quite commendable. After seeing Xia En appearing in front of him, instead of running away, the stone pig kept kicking on the ground with its hind legs, and then rushed directly towards him. Charging together with the stone pig, there is also the invisible secret power surrounding it. Only when he came into contact with this secret power in person did Xia En be able to confirm Yes, this is a field! Since the alien beasts in [Rhine Secret Realm] have the means to control their secret power, it is normal for the best among them to be able to master the field. And the domain of this [Rhinestone Pig] seems to have the effect of [purification] and [compression]. Therefore, when it launched a charge, the surrounding air seemed to turn into a solid wall of air, crashing into Xia En like a mountain. However, compared to head-on confrontation, Xia En has never been afraid of anyone! His eyes flashed, he let out a low shout, and punched out without hesitation, directly hitting the [Rhinestone Pig]''s territory with the power of wind and thunder. The compressed version of [Big Dark Sky] fits on Xia En''s body like a battle suit, giving him even more power. This collision seemed to be a collision between a fist and a wall of air. In fact, it is already a confrontation between two fields! As soon as he came into contact with it, Xia En was slightly shocked by the strength of the secret power of [Rhinestone Pig]. But think about it. As a unique creature born in the [Rhine Secret Realm], its entire body is composed of [Rhinestone Essence] which contains a large amount of secret power. It is equivalent to a natural secret power container that can store such a massive amount of secret power. However, the large amount alone cannot play an absolute role in such a battle. [Rhinestone Pig] gave Xia En the feeling that he had a huge secret power, but he didn''t learn a more sophisticated way to control it, so he could only use the crudest method to pour out the secret power. This leads to the fact that the secret power of the entire field is as vast as the sea, but the defense of a single "point" is relatively weak. Therefore, Xia En simply changed his mind and concentrated all his strength and secret power on the fist. It seemed to turn into a thick and hard spike, piercing hard into the territory of [Rhinestone Pig]. Take some Arrancar! Click In the dark, there seemed to be a broken sound. The compressed solid air suddenly shattered, and the entire field was torn open by Xia En. Immediately, Xia En kept walking and rushed towards the [Rhinestone Pig] with rapid strides. "Goo ho!" The territory suffered a heavy blow, and [Rhinestone Pig] was obviously not feeling well. Silver-white "blood" flowed out of its ears and nose, and it raised its head and let out an angry roar. at the same time. Other secret powers in the domain are like thick mud, squeezing out from all directions. In an attempt to overwhelm Xia En and block his progress. However, Xia En''s overall quality of 17.5 once again showed his unreasonable side. Pure numerical value, pure power! Xia En''s body shook, and the vast secret power pressing down like a mountain was released. Even under this heavy pressure, he was still walking on flat ground, even faster than before! In just two breaths, Xia En rushed in front of the silver-white stone pig like an evil tiger and hugged its two hind legs. Then, he lifted it high and dropped it! boom! The ground shook again, and the scope of the pit was further expanded. This fall directly knocked the stone pig into confusion and made it dizzy. The surrounding secret power field can no longer be maintained. Xia En wasn''t going to stop just yet. He raised his fist as big as a small mountain bag and prepared to give the stone pig a set of facial punches. If these punches were hit hard, it would be like several mountains crashing down on him, and the stone pig would probably lose half of his life. At this critical moment of life and death, the silver-white stone pig suddenly raised its head and screamed with all its strength. "Goo hum... coo hum..." Compared with the previous howling in the middle stage, these two screams were weak and more like pitiful pleas for mercy. At the same time, Xia En also saw a bit of human pleading in Stone Pig''s eyes. If it were an ordinary strange beast, Xia En might just kill it casually. But this [Rhine Stone Pig] is indeed very special, so special that it is the only one that Xia En has seen since he obtained the [Rhine Secret Realm]. On the one hand, there is indeed much to study about it. A living alien beast obviously has higher research value. On the other hand, Xia En was a little worried that these few punches would break the [Rhinestone Essence] on the [Rhinestone Pig]. -This is all his money! Just then. After seeing the last beast king [Rhinestone Pig] being subdued by Xia En, and seemingly realizing that the situation was over, the rapid flute sound sounded again in the distant forest. Compared with the previous one, the sound of the flute was faster and faster, full of anxiety and anger. The ferocious beasts on the outermost edge suddenly felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Each one of them, with their tails between their legs, fled towards the forest as hard as they could. Apparently, the sound of the flute had become a signal to retreat. When the [Rhinestone Pig] heard the sound of the flute, its pair of small eyes lit up slightly at first, and then quickly dimmed. In front of this terrifying two-legged creature, it wanted to escape but couldn''t! Seeing the ferocious beasts escaping one after another, Xia En did not stop them. Because the beasts that can escape only account for a small part of the beast tide. The remaining alien beasts have either died under the double blow of artillery fire and alchemical creations, and will remain on this battlefield forever. Or, it would be stuck in a swamp, unable to move, and become a piece of fish on the chopping board. Moreover, with the population of [Rhine City], so much loot is enough for them to take a long time to digest. Xia En looked towards the direction of the forest, vaguely feeling that there were many eyes peering at him there. "Oh" He sneered, pointed toward the forest, and said coldly, regardless of whether the native races that might exist understood it or not. "Although I don''t know what you are, but since you dare to attack [Rhine City], you must be prepared to be destroyed." "I...will find you!" Xia En''s voice roared like thunder, reaching an extremely far distance without dissipating. Most of the native races in the forest could not understand his words, but they could understand the strong threat in the voice. The sound of the flute that just came suddenly stopped. The vague feeling of being spied on quickly escaped Xia En. "Humph, you are quite timid." After confirming that the unknown native race had been scared away, Xia En transformed back into a normal human shape, and then began to clean the battlefield with the people in [Rhine City] and count the spoils of the battle. The only thing more exciting than licking a bag is licking lots and lots of bags! This beast wave came and went away just as quickly. The entire battle took less than twenty minutes. Instead, it took nearly three hours to clean the battlefield. This was despite the fact that the corpses of many strange beasts could not be completely transported back to the city. After all, Xia En was also the city lord of [Rhine City], so he only participated in the initial cleaning work, and was soon invited back to the city by the Yongyue tribe. In their own words, they did almost nothing in this battle, at least they wanted to contribute to this kind of link. Xia En had no choice but to enjoy the treatment that a wave of city lords deserved. It was not until evening that this hearty harvest came to an end. Sha Jingjing''s face was covered with sweat and her cheeks were red. She excitedly reported the results of this battle to Xia En. "Lord Holy Son, this time we harvested a total of more than 1,500 corpses of alien beasts and more than 800 living alien beast captives." "There are twenty-four beast king-level beings among them, and there are still ten surviving beast kings." Listening to Sha Jingjing''s report, Xia En couldn''t help but evoke the smile of an old farmer during a good harvest. Although the price of each exotic beast is difficult to measure due to individual differences. However, after a rough estimate, it is not difficult to judge that the income from this battle is definitely greater than Xia En''s expenditure. Not only that, the environment in the nearby forest has also become much safer because of this wave of beasts. The people of [Rhine City] can take advantage of this opportunity to expand their territory further afield. "Right." At this time, Sha Jingjing remembered another thing and said. "And the stone pig made of [rhinestone spirit], we also discovered a special ability of it." Xia En was a little curious: "What ability?" "You''ll know just when you come over and take a look." Later, Xia En followed Sha Jingjing to the place where [Rhinestone Pigs] were kept. "Hum..." Upon seeing Xia En''s arrival, the fat white stone pig''s legs suddenly softened and huddled up timidly. Obviously, the previous battle left a deep psychological shadow on it. "Lord Holy Son, please look." Sha Jingjing pointed to the ground next to Stone Pig, where there were several ordinary, gray-white [Rhinestones]. "This is" Xia En was a little confused at first, but after seeing the changes on the [Rhinestone], he couldn''t help but feel shocked. I saw that the color of these [Rhinestones] was slowly deepening, and the secret power contained in them was also becoming more intense. This change is simply like... Transforming from [Rhinestone] to [Rhinestone Essence]! Xia En suddenly raised his head and looked at the stone pig in front of him with burning eyes. Obviously, this is the innate ability of this stone pig! Its field is related to [Purification] and [Compression], which means that as long as [Rhinestone] is placed next to it, new [Rhinestone Essence] will be continuously produced! Ordinary stones may also be transformed into [Rhinestone]. To put it simply, this stone pig is the manufacturing machine for [Rhinestone] and [Rhinestone Essence]! Maybe the several [Rhinestone] mines previously discovered by the Yongyue Tribe are closely related to it. It is literally a living money tree! Xia En was immediately very happy. Fortunately, he didn''t kill it directly before, otherwise he would definitely regret it now. Xia En could still tell which was more important, a large vat of water or a living spring. Thinking of this, Xia En reached out and touched the stone pig''s thigh. "From now on...you''ll be full of money!" The so-called piggy bank refers to a container for storing money, often in the shape of a piggy, which is equivalent to the piggy bank in ancient times. It is a perfect name for this stone pig. Xia En drew the pie skillfully: "Don''t worry, as long as you work hard, I will ensure that you have enough to eat and drink, and you can wander around [Rhine City] if you want." "Humph?" Panman was a little skeptical. But the pig is under the roof, and there seems to be no other way except to believe in it. It was just when Xia En was doing some ideological work for Pumian. Seven seas world. On the [Black Swan], a little dragon that had been sleeping for a long time opened its eyes. (End of chapter) Chapter 318 Two Vivian, the upgraded [Forging Fire Technique] Chapter 318 Two Vivian, the upgraded [Fire Forging Technique] "Well..." At this time, Xian Ge was still in the "little dragon girl" state of mimicry magic. A pair of cute big eyes opened drowsily, looking like they hadn''t woken up yet. "Captain Shane?" The first thing Xian Ge did when she opened her eyes was to look for Xia En on the ship. However, after her senses expanded outward, she found that the entire ship seemed empty. Not only Captain Shane, but also Joey and other crew members were missing. The boat was empty and very quiet. After realizing this, Xian Ge''s eyes suddenly widened, even a little panicked. What''s going on? Why is it that everyone has disappeared after I slept? ! For a moment, Xian Ge even felt like the sky was about to fall. Although Xian Ge behaved very arrogantly at the beginning, he looked down on this ship [Black Swan] a little bit. But as time goes by, Xian Ge has long regarded himself as a member of the [Black Swan], and has also regarded the other crew members as his partners. This can actually be seen from her subsequent performance. So at this time, when he found out that no one else was on board the Black Swan, Xian Ge felt as if he had been left behind. But Xian Ge then thought about it and realized that the Black Swan was extremely important to Captain Shane. Its impossible to leave the [Black Swan] behind, right? Maybe... I just happen to not be on the ship? After calming down, Xian Ge turned around and found a note on the captain''s desk next to him. The note roughly explained that Xia En and others went to the [Rhine Secret Realm] to deal with the beast tide, and told Xian Ge not to worry The tone and tone are quite similar to the sticky notes left by parents for their children when they go out. It also has Shane and Joey''s signatures on it. After reading the content on the note, Xian Ge breathed a sigh of relief. "Let me tell you, how could Mr. Captain leave me behind?" "It''s a pity. I remembered a lot of things this time, and I wanted to tell Captain Shane as soon as possible..." Recalling the memory of waking up from this deep sleep, Xian Ge''s expression became a little serious. "It turns out...the ancient dragon was not really extinct, but migrated to other worlds before the disaster struck!" "And that world is called [Dragon''s Nest]!" As Xian Ge''s awakening level becomes higher and higher, some information contained in his bloodline begins to emerge in the form of memory. And this piece of information about the secret realm of [Dragon Nest] is actually a direction for the ancient dragon species left in [Seven Seas World]. Tell it where the ancient dragon''s home is now. And vaguely, Xian Ge also felt a calling from somewhere. It seemed that his fellow tribesmen in the secret realm of [Dragon''s Nest] were calling him. Xian Ge had a hunch that if he responded to this call and went to the secret realm of [Dragon''s Nest], he might think of more memories before his "reincarnation". Her strength will also undergo a huge improvement. Xian Ge felt that such a big secret must be shared with Xia En, and it could also be regarded as a small surprise for the captain. However, Xian Ge didn''t know that during the time she was sleeping. Xia En has already arrived at [Liu Li Island] and learned similar information from the librarian Jane Vivian. "By the way, there''s also Vivian and the crystal coffin..." At this time, Xian Ge remembered another important thing. When Vivian first boarded the ship, Xian Ge felt that she gave him a sense of dj vu. After falling asleep this time, Xian Ge was able to confirm that that "familiarity" was not aimless. because In her past memories, that mysterious and strange crystal coffin appeared! This means that she might have met Vivian in that extremely distant past! If Xia En knew about this, he would definitely feel extremely incredible. According to the description on the "Vivian" crew panel, she was a strange spirit created before the Great Flood. The memory of Xiange''s past life goes back to the ancient times when ancient dragons still existed and elves had not yet risen. There may not even be much communication between elves and ancient dragons. How did the two of them meet? Although Xian Ge didn''t know Vivian''s life experience, she also knew how outrageous it was to meet an old antique of the same age as herself. So I thought about telling Xia En the news as soon as possible, but I didn''t expect that he happened to not be on the ship. But soon, Xian Ge raised his eyebrows and looked at the wall beside him. She sensed an aura approaching. At the same time, Xian Ge suddenly realized that although there was no "person" on board the [Black Swan] at this time, there was still a ghost! The next moment. Vivian''s translucent body passed through the wall and came to the captain''s room. As soon as he saw her, Xian Ge couldn''t help but tuck his tail, his whole body trembled slightly, and even the scales on the dragon''s tail tended to stand up. This reaction is somewhat similar to the exploding fur of cats. When facing Vivian in the past, Xian Ge had never felt like this. Just because At this time, Miss Ghost seems to have changed! The previous lazy and sleepy temperament was removed from Vivian, replaced by a kind of rational coldness, and a mysterious texture lingered around her, filled with a dangerous and eye-catching magical beauty. The look in those eyes made Xian Ge feel extremely strange. In other words, at this moment, Vivian truly showed the proper posture of [Nirvana Witch]. "Who are you!?" Xian Ge frowned and asked with caution and vigilance. "You are definitely not the Vivian I know!" Faced with Xian Ge''s reaction, "Vivian" was not surprised, nor showed any hostility, she just sighed softly. "Old friend, when you woke up this time, you really remembered a lot of things." Her tone was very familiar, as if she was talking to an old friend whom she had known for a long time. And Xian Ge was keenly aware that the "old friend" in Vivian''s mouth did not refer to her now, but to herself before she was reincarnated into a dragon egg! "I did meet you in the past!" Xian Ge''s alertness became even stronger, and she was ready to change back to her true form at any time to fight. She asked again: "Who are you? Why did you board Captain Shane''s ship?" Hearing this question, "Vivian" turned her head and looked out the window, as if looking at an extremely distant place, and murmured softly. "They said that I am... [The Witch of Nirvana]." "She is the witch who pulls the stars, and she is the disaster destined to perish." "It is an illusion that should not exist in this time and space, and it is also a shadow of the past that does not belong to this world." "However, compared to these titles, I prefer the name ''Vivian''..." Xian Ge looked confused and confused. Who knows this? She understood every word in "Vivian"''s words, but when they were put together, it became something she couldn''t understand at all. But no matter what, the background of "Vivian" seems to be quite remarkable? Is it even more powerful than the title of the Great Bronze Dragon? Seeing Xian Ge''s expression, "Vivian" smiled: "It seems that you are still the same as before." "But that''s fine. Even if you understand it, you won''t remember it." Xian Ge was stunned: "What do you mean..." Her words stopped abruptly. Because after "Vivian" said those words, the ghost came to Xian Ge silently. Immediately afterwards, "Vivian" stretched out her hand and lightly tapped Xiange''s fair forehead. "You..." Xian Ge tried to struggle, but a strong wave of sleepiness surged up in her mind, causing her eyelids to close unconsciously. "Don''t worry, dizziness is normal." Before she fell into coma, the voice of "Vivian" rang in her ears: "Sorry, everything is part of the plan..." "Go to sleep, you''ll be fine after a little sleep..." Soon, Xiange''s petite body fell into her arms. "Vivian" put Xian Ge on the small bed, closed her eyes, and then... The witch aura in her body quickly weakened and dissipated, and finally turned into the usual salted fish ghost. Vivian opened her eyes again, looked around blankly, and let out a light sigh. "Huh? Why am I here?" "Has Xian Ge woke up before?" Vivian thought for a moment but couldn''t think of a reason. Instead, she felt sleepy and couldn''t help but mutter in her heart. "I don''t know why, but I feel so tired...as if I had a fight with someone." "Forget it, let''s go to bed first!" Vivian struggled for a while, trying her best but unable to overcome the growing sleepiness, and wanted to fall asleep. There was only Xiange''s small bed in the room. Although Vivian is a salty fish, she still has the reserve of a lady and cannot just lie on the ground casually. So, she lay down next to Xian Ge. "Give a little bit...squeeze a bit..." "Make room for me..." With these words in her mouth, Vivian quickly fell into a deep sleep. So, when Xia En and the crew returned to the [Black Swan], what they saw was this scene - Xian Ge and Vivian, one large and one small, squeezed into this small bed, occupying the entire bed, and slept very peacefully. Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. Vivian, you just want to sleep, why are you competing with Xiange for a bed? Dont you have a luxurious single room with a crystal coffin? Xia En was about to step forward to wake up Vivian. But at this time, Xian Ge opened his eyes first. "Captain Shane!" She hurriedly shouted Xia En''s name, as if waking up from a nightmare, and opened her eyes suddenly, with a little uneasiness still remaining in her eyes. "I am here." Xia En''s calm voice gradually calmed down Xian Ge''s panic. "What''s wrong? What happened?" Xian Ge suddenly woke up and said anxiously: "Captain Xia En, I have something to tell you about..." "It''s about..." When it came to the most critical point, Xian Ge suddenly got stuck. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t remember what she wanted to say. "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows, but still asked patiently: "Don''t worry, think about it carefully, what is it about?" Xian Ge thought about it for a long time but couldn''t remember it. Suddenly he found the ghost of salted fish next to him and was startled. Its a real shock. Xian Ge jumped up and hid behind Xia En. "Wow... Vivian, why is she here with me?" Seeing this, Xia En was even more surprised. The relationship between Xian Ge and Vivian was pretty good before, but now, Xian Ge seems to be slightly afraid of Vivian, as if it has left some kind of psychological shadow. Could it be that something happened between the two of them before? "Oh, by the way, I remembered!" Xian Ge continued: "The ancient dragon... the ancient dragon clan has not perished yet!" "The remaining ancient dragons all migrated to a secret realm called [Dragon Nest]." "Moreover, I seem to be able to sense the location of the [Secret Realm] in the dark." When he said this, Xian Ge''s tone was still a little proud, as if he wanted to shock everyone with this breaking news and enjoy their surprised looks. But at this time, not only Xia En, but also the expressions of other crew members became a little strange. Seeing Xian Ge''s smug expression, everyone couldn''t bear to expose her fantasy. At first, Xian Ge thought that Xia En and others were shocked by the news, so they remained silent. But she wasn''t stupid after all. After observing carefully for a moment, she stammered. "You...you already know about this?" Xia En thought for a while, then finally told the truth, nodded and said, "That''s right." "And not long after you fell into a deep sleep." "Woo..." Xian Ge suddenly let out a small cry: "Why is this like this?" She also wanted to take this opportunity to show off the majesty of the bronze dragon! "However, your information is not worthless." Xia En touched her little head and comforted her: "If you can sense the location of the [Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm], maybe we can use this to open the passage to that secret realm." The power of blood is also a way to [anchor]. Of course, there is actually a ready-made passage to the [Dragon Lair Secret Realm] in the Seven Seas Federation. But for Xia En, if he wants to explore the secret realm, he must master his own passage. Otherwise, if someone gets stuck in the neck, or is simply imprisoned in the [Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm], wouldn''t everything be over? Hearing Xia En''s approval, Xian Ge suddenly became energetic, puffed up her little chest, and said proudly to herself. "Humph, it seems that I am still very useful!" In fact, this little guy is quite easy to coax. Give it a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, nothing better than this. Not long after, Vivian also woke up. She yawned and greeted lazily. "Good morning, Mr. Captain~" "It''s already evening now!" Shane couldn''t help but retort. "Humph, Captain Shane, don''t you understand?" Vivian said confidently: "Ghosts have a different concept of time than ordinary people. It''s morning when I wake up!" Shane: "...Girl, you win." "Mr. Captain, there is one more thing." Xian Ge on the side looked at himself carefully and said: "My [Fire Forging Technique] seems to have undergone new changes!" (End of chapter) Chapter 319 The identity of [Ghana] strengthens the two ships! Chapter 319 [Ghana]s identity strengthens the two ships! "You mean...your [Fire Forging Technique] has been upgraded?" After briefly asking Xian Ge, Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised. Xian Ge''s original [Forging Fire Technique] can temper each component of [Black Swan]. If a little adds up, his overall quality will be greatly improved. At the moment, according to Xian Ge, its [Forging Fire Technique] can re-temper those parts that have been tempered. Even if [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] are treated as a whole. They can also be tempered directly. This surprised Xia Endu. This tempering method is simply equivalent to an alternative upgrade of the entire ship! However, Xian Ge also explained that there is a certain price to pay for using the upgraded [Forging Fire Technique]. That would require a large amount of the [Lava Mine] she swallowed last time. To be honest, when Xia En heard this request, he felt a little strange and confused. He was already surprised when Xian Ge showed a strong desire for [Lava Mine] last time. [Lava Ore] is clearly a specialty of [The Furnace Secret Realm]. In theory, it should be incomparable with ancient dragons and bronze dragons. But Xiange pays special attention to this specialty. Xia En originally thought that the rich power of fire element in the [Lava Mine] attracted Xian Ge. However, after careful questioning, it was revealed that other similar materials in Qihai did not bring any instinctive impulse to Xian Ge at all. At this time, Xian Ge even said by name that [Lava Ore] is needed to complete the strengthening of [Forging Fire Technique]. Combined with the special forging techniques and secret techniques of the dwarves in [The Furnace Secret Realm]... If you say this is a pure coincidence, Xia En doesn''t believe it 100%! But what is the connection between the two? Suddenly, a bold guess flashed through Xia En''s mind and he muttered to himself. [Ghana World][Ghana] According to the legend told by the dwarves, underground in the [Furnace Secret Realm], there is a [Fire Seed] that is so huge that it is difficult to measure. Its name is [Ghana]. And the entire [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] is named after it. The terrifying "earth roar" before was just an awakening for [Ghana]. "What if this giant beast called [Gana] is not [Fire], but an ancient dragon?" Thinking of this possibility, Xia En''s eyes suddenly opened wide. Due to the unique name of [Fire Seed], he always thought it was a native creature of [The Furnace Realm], thus ignoring this point. But now I think about it, if the dwarves can all migrate from the Seven Seas World to the [Forge Secret Realm]. Then why can''t [Fire Type] be a species that was born after ancient dragons multiplied with native creatures and mutated due to environmental influences? Perhaps, the ancient dragon arrived in [The Furnace Secret Realm] thousands of years earlier than the dwarves, and even became the origin of life for all the [Fire Seeds] in the [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Therefore, when the dwarves enter the secret realm, they think that [Fire Seed] is a creature that has existed in the [Furnace Secret Realm] since ancient times. In this way, it can also explain Xian Ge''s strong desire for [Lava Mine]. All [Lava Mines] are formed from the heart of [Fire Seed], and contain the bloodline of the ancient dragon in disguise, which is naturally of great benefit to her. And, think along this line of thinking. [Ghana] is most likely not an ordinary ancient dragon, but one of the same kind as Xiange A bronze dragon with bronze and fire flowing in its blood! "Don''t say it, it seems really possible..." Shane''s expression was a little strange. Although this is just his guess, the whole idea is extremely smooth. Maybe it really may be the truth of [The Furnace Secret Realm]! It''s a pity that the number of dwarves who believe in the "Lord of the Rhine" in the "Forge Secret Realm" is still limited. We can only use the connection between Xia En and the believers to carry out some simple transmissions, and it is not possible to build a stable two-way transmission gate. Otherwise, by sending Xian Ge to the [Furnace Secret Realm], maybe we can immediately confirm whether Xia En''s guess is right or wrong. But nevertheless. During Xia En''s several submersible voyages to the [Furnace Secret Realm], he also harvested a large amount of [Lava Ore], which should be enough for Xian Ge to temper the hull. Coincidentally, just some time ago, Xia En had already invested a lot of precious materials to strengthen the two ships with the help of [Ship Heart]. Counting the time, it is almost the day when the "fruit is ripe". Just enough for Xian Ge to undergo the final tempering, which can be regarded as "refining the juice from the fire" and completely completing this long-term strengthening. Xia En thought to himself: "When the strengthening is over, it''s time to set off towards the [Cold Sea]." In fact, the reason why he stayed in [Liu Li Island] during this period of time. On the one hand, it is to survive the beast tide disaster in [Rhine Secret Realm]. On the other hand, they are waiting patiently for the two ships to complete the final strengthening. After all, the [Leng Lie Sea] at this time must be a mixed bag, with strong men from all forces emerging in endlessly. Not to mention, the source of the disaster of the "Second Flood" is still unknown. If you want to protect yourself and your crew in such a [cold sea], you must have enough strength. Therefore, Xia En will set out for the [Cold Sea] only after being fully prepared. "I hope this enhancement can bring me some surprises..." It didn''t take long. Xia En took Xian Ge and the others out of the cabin and came to the dock of the port. Standing here, you can more intuitively see the overall changes in [Black Swan]. During this period of time, the size of the [Black Swan] has obviously grown, and the color of the hull has also changed from pitch black to a gray between black and white. This is because Xia En added a lot of [Rhinestone Essence] to the reinforced materials. This kind of material has brought back the Black Swan, which was originally in the dark and terrifying direction, and never returned. At least on the surface, the appearance of the [Black Swan] is much "gentler", without the sharp and dangerous feeling before. However, the opposite is true. The mysterious aura surrounding [Black Swan] is getting stronger and stronger. That is the effect brought about by constantly absorbing secret power. In the eyes of some people with keen inspiration, the surroundings of the Black Swan seem to be shrouded in a thick fog, and from time to time, horrific hallucinations emerge and disappear from the fog. Just looking at it will make your heart palpitate involuntarily. Moreover, the "alive" quality of [Black Swan] is becoming more and more obvious. The hull sways gently with the water waves, just like it breathes and breathes, giving people the feeling that it will wake up at any time. As the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En knows very well that the current [Black Swan] is far more powerful than before. That "gentle" appearance is just a disguise. When the [Black Swan] enters combat mode, the combat power it can exert will only make the enemy tremble! However, Xia En could also sense that the strengthening of the [Black Swan] seemed to be stuck at the last step. There is only one step left to complete the transformation, but no one knows when this step will be taken. Normally, this last step can only be overcome through hard work. But now that there is a string song, maybe we can rely on [Fire Forging Technique] to stimulate it. In fact, not only the [Black Swan], the [Diamond Star] has also been modified and strengthened in these days. However, due to the special nature of the Diamond Star, once it appears in the port, it may cause an uproar. Shane turned to look at Joey aside and said, "Joy, please." "Leave it to me." Joey raised the staff in his hand and pointed at the [Black Swan] in front of him. Immediately, an invisible curtain opened outwards with the staff as the center, covering the [Black Swan] and a nearby sea surface. This is a kind of curtain spell that can change the perception of others, allowing others to ignore the changes that occur in this area. Due to its wider range, its effect is actually not that powerful. If someone enters this area, they can probably see through the real picture under the curtain. But now, there are not many pedestrians on the port, so not many people notice the abnormality in this corner. Then, Xia En had a thought in his mind. "Come out, little star." Following Xia En''s instructions, a huge and gorgeous ship appeared silently on the sea next to the [Black Swan]. It seemed to be projected from a shadow, with a dark aura lingering around it. I dont know if it was because I stayed in the reflection for too long, but the [Diamond Star] was also contaminated with the atmosphere of the deep sea. The gloomy feeling of "landmine woman" becomes more and more obvious. Especially when compared with the energetic [Black Swan] on the side, the [Diamond Star] looks even more ghostly. But considering that it was originally a "ghost ship", it is normal to have such a temperament... right? "Xiaoxing, have you been suffocating these days?" Xia En smiled and greeted: "It doesn''t matter, you will be able to freely sail on the sea in two days." But soon, Xia En heard the voice of the [Diamond Star]. "...Huh? You''re not holding it back?" "Under the sea, is it very comfortable? Very peaceful?" "Because you don''t have to face other humans and you can hide???" Shane: "..." For the time being, he could do nothing about the gloomy and autistic character of [Diamond Star]. Who made the [Diamond Star] leave such a deep psychological shadow in that incident and develop a fear of other humans? It''s like a childhood tragedy that often takes a lifetime to heal. Xia En could only try his best to use time to subtly change Xiaoxing''s character. In fact, Xia En is actually relatively conservative when it comes to the modification of the Diamond Star. The reason is simple. The design of the [Diamond Star] itself is already very outstanding. Its manufacturing materials and internal structure are not outdated at all in today''s Nanami. Once the overall modification is made, it will destroy the original design of the [Diamond Star], resulting in unpredictable problems. Therefore, Xia En only strengthened the weak points on the [Diamond Star] ship and updated the materials in some parts of the hull. Even if some materials were excellent when the disaster struck, they will inevitably age after so many years. at the same time. Shane also replaced the ship''s artillery and other infrastructure. Just with these modifications, the entire [Diamond Star] looks brand new. If its gloomy temperament were not so strong, this would definitely be a luxurious ship that could be described as "beautiful". captain what are you up to? Xiaoxing''s timid voice sounded in Xia En''s mind. It made him unconsciously think of a little **** wearing Gothic clothes timidly asking questions to him. "Ahem..." Xia En shook his head, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and explained. "Don''t be afraid, it''s just to temper your body." "It might hurt a little, just bear with it." Woo... Hearing this, Xiaoxing became obviously more panicked. If Xia En hadn''t been chatting with her frequently these days and had initially gained her trust, [Diamond Star] might have turned around and hid in the shadow of [Black Swan]. Then, Xia En looked at Xian Ge beside him. "It''s time for you to take action." "Don''t worry, I promise to complete the mission!" Xian Ge patted her chest and walked towards the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] with confidence. The next moment. The effects of mimicry magic are lifted. Her body shape changed from a petite and exquisite girl to a bronze dragon with spread wings and flew over the two ships. It has to be said that Xian Ge''s true form has actually changed a lot during this sleep. One thing that''s immediately obvious is her body type. Xian Ge''s body length is already more than ten meters, and when its wings are fully extended, its wingspan can be close to twenty meters. When flying in the sky, the shadow cast is really not small, and it has begun to take shape of "blocking out the sky and the sun". In addition, the color of her scales has also become darker, with some dark red lines mixed in, which looks quite magical. As for the pair of small horns on Xiange''s head, they have naturally grown longer. The shape of the Flame Crown is clearer and more obvious. The whole dragon feels like it has transformed from a baby dragon to a juvenile dragon. The lines are more elegant and vigorous, and it has a strange beauty. Visible to the naked eye, the appearance has improved a lot. It gave Xia Endu an urge to ride on her and fly through the sky. Xia En muttered to himself: "No wonder so many people want to be dragon knights. It turns out there is a reason..." at the same time. A deep red light lit up in Xian Ge''s vertical pupils. The [Lava Mine] given by Xia En earlier was stored in her abdominal cavity. At this time, as the secret power was stimulated, surging and huge heat expanded from Xian Ge''s body, wrapping the [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan] like a field. Xia En suddenly realized, isn''t this a manifestation of the power of the domain? This also means that Xian Ge''s rank is very likely to reach the fifth level! Subsequently, miraculous changes began to occur on the two ships... (End of chapter) Chapter 320 Overall quality has soared! Preparation before leaving! Chapter 320: Overall quality soars! Preparation before leaving! In the field, more and more fiery secret power was escaping from Xian Ge''s body. It''s like turning this place into a huge melting pot. The [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] have become "weapons" forged and tempered in this furnace. Wisps of dark red light began to emerge from the air and gradually penetrated into the hulls of the two ships. The next moment. Xiao Hei and Xiao Xing''s surprised voices sounded in Xia En''s mind. [Master, what is this? So comfortable... This was Xiao Hei''s reaction just after he woke up from his deep sleep. [I feel a force... coming up! other side. Xiaoxing also rarely showed a moment or two of enjoyment. [Captain...hot...so warm...] The body...has become clean... Shane: "..." Don''t use such expressions that can easily cause misunderstandings! However, Xia En also knew that Xiaoxing didn''t mean anything strange, he was just telling the truth. Because at this time, with the stimulation of [Fire Forging Technique], a viscous, pitch-black substance gradually seeped out from the decks and hulls of [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan]. This black mucus has a pungent odor and looks very disgusting. It''s like old dirt that hasn''t been cleaned, or like impurities that have been forced out of certain materials. Seeing this scene, Xia En suddenly woke up. The essence of the so-called [Fire Forging Technique] is actually to force out the bad things in items with the help of the unique [Secret Power of the Furnace]. Just like a blacksmith using a sledgehammer to continuously beat the forged weapon, it has the effect of removing impurities and making the original material denser and even changing its properties. The principles of both are actually the same. And if it were applied to a human being, it would probably be similar to "cleansing the classics and cutting the marrow" in martial arts novels. Excrete all the dirt and impurities accumulated in the past from the body. Just like the human body, there are bound to be a lot of hidden wounds and dirt. No matter how much Xia En takes care of the Black Swan, there will inevitably be corners that cannot be cleaned. Although some of the damage suffered by the two ships was completely healed on the surface, some small incongruities or weaknesses would inevitably appear deeper in the hull. One or two separate "hidden injuries" are actually harmless. However, when such injuries continue to accumulate, it will inevitably affect the control of the hull. It''s as if there''s a slight glitch in the gear mesh, reducing the efficiency of the ship''s operation. At this time, under the influence of [Forging Fire Technique], these small hidden wounds are also healing quickly. Due to the talent of "Communicating Ship Souls", Xia En quickly empathized with Xiao Hei and Xiao Xing''s feelings. A numb and numb feeling came from the depths of the soul, with a slight itching feeling, like a deep massage. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but it soon got better and I felt indescribably comfortable. It''s in this process. Xia En noticed that the last obstacle to the strengthening of the two ships was also eliminated quietly. As if everything fell into place, the strengthening of the ship was completely completed. [Strengthening completed! [Black Swan (+8)! [Diamond Star (+3)! As if to verify Xia En''s feelings, a few lines of text flashed on the panel. Moreover, compared with the previous number, the number has increased one by one. With this enhancement, [Black Swan] has directly changed from (+3) to (+8), while [Diamond Star] has been directly upgraded to (+5)! Thinking about it, it was probably because the materials Xia En invested this time were too large and precious, and had exceeded the upper limit of a single enhancement. In other words, the effect of this strengthening is approximately equal to the previous five times, which is why there is such a prompt. at the same time. Under the effect of the talent [Captain''s Majesty], huge and vast power began to wash over Xia En''s body like a wave. This wash was so fierce that thunder sounded in Xia En''s body, and the waves rolled like waves on the boundless sea. If the secret power washes away on weekdays, it is like an ordinary wave. So this time, the secret power coming from somewhere is like a tsunami! Fortunately, Xia En''s body has been tempered many times and is far beyond the scope of ordinary people. Otherwise, just accepting the baptism of this secret power might cause him to explode and die. Even if Xia En resisted the erosion of the secret power, given his physique, he still had a rare feeling of being "overstuffed". It can be seen that the gift of this secret power is rich. Immediately, the bones, muscles, and nerves in Xia En''s body all entered an active state, greedily absorbing this huge secret power. And in the process, it continues to grow, grow, become strong and tough. A rich sense of power filled almost every corner of Xia En''s body. on the panel. [Comprehensive quality: 17.518] 1820 2023 This number kept beating and growing, and finally settled at [Comprehensive quality: 25! The next moment. Xia En opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. At this moment, his whole temperament suddenly changed, as if he had changed from the quiet and peaceful handsome young man to a terrifying beast wearing human skin. If a person with weaker strength stood next to him, he would be frightened and his mind would go blank. This was not Xia En''s intention, but just because his power suddenly surged and he failed to control his aura. "Huh...this feeling..." Xia En let out a long breath, his face full of excitement. This feeling of being filled with power within the body is truly wonderful. Xia En even felt that he might be able to carry the entire Black Swan for battle. Of course, the idea was just an idea, and he had no intention of putting it into practice. The increase in the numerical value on the panel also surprised Xia En. An increase of 7.5% is even greater than the benefits brought by breaking through the fifth level! Obviously, this is the power of "krypton gold"! The materials Xia En purchased during this period almost emptied his fortune. -Except for the materials used to construct the ritual, the remaining materials are all used to strengthen the ship. It would be abnormal to spend such a large amount of money and not make some splash! "It''s not worth the money I spent..." Xia En sighed softly, feeling that it was very worth the money. If the money is gone, you can spend it again, but if your life is gone, you have nothing. Using money and merits in exchange for ready-made strength to face the coming "second world-destroying flood" is definitely a sure-fire deal. Soon, Joey and others also noticed the change in Xia En''s aura. "Mr. Captain, you have become stronger again!" Joey''s eyes were filled with admiration. However, she and Xia En have been together for so long, and they have already discovered... It seems that every time the [Black Swan] is modified and strengthened, Captain Shane''s strength will be significantly improved? "Probably...this is the bond between Mr. Captain and the [Black Swan], right?" at the same time. The [Forging Fire Technique] that Xian Ge applied to the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] is almost coming to an end. A lot of dark, viscous liquid oozed from both ships, and emitted a strong odor. [Master, it stinks! Give me a quick shower! Xiao Hei, who loves cleanliness, couldn''t help complaining to Xia En in his mind. [I feel like Im getting dirty...] Even Xiaoxing, who has a gloomy personality, showed a similar attitude and whispered softly. [My body is sticky...so uncomfortable...] Although this kind of "cleansing and cutting off the marrow" is very satisfying, the aftermath is very troublesome. Fortunately, Shane is surrounded by Miss Joy, who has mastered many magic spells. With just a look from Shane, Joey understood and tapped the staff in his hand towards the two ships. The storm is coming! A gentle sea breeze blew from the sky mixed with raindrops. Subsequently, the raindrops became more and more dense, constantly washing away the bodies of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], and washing those filthy objects into the sea. And due to Joey''s own characteristics, this spell even has a certain sanctity. - Just like the magic spell cast by Storm Priest. It naturally has [purifying] and [washing] properties. So, under the baptism of this wind and rain, the bodies of the two ships became clean again. After the dirt was washed away, the images of the [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan] could be described as completely new. Not only has the size of the entire ship slightly increased, but the internal structure has also undergone considerable changes. The deck is clean and tidy, even so smooth that it seems to reflect a human face. The windows are bright and clear, and all the original dirt has disappeared. The wooden planks on the ship''s walls also gave off a fresh, vital smell. It''s like... these two ships were just built not long ago! "Wow, [Black Swan] has become so clean and beautiful!" Seeing this, Joey couldn''t help but exclaimed: "It''s just like brand new." Fei Ya stared at the [Diamond Star] on the side, unable to look away for a while. In fact, [Diamond Star] has always been very good-looking. Just because it has been wandering for such a long time after becoming a ghost ship, the hull inevitably shows signs of damage and aging. At this time, after brushing away the dust and scars of the past, this former "Noah''s Ark" showed its due majesty. The hull, which has been washed away from the lead dust, is clearly painted with elegant and elegant lines. The white sails swayed gently in the sea breeze. Under the sunlight, the deck and windows shine, and those exquisite and classically beautiful designs are barely visible to everyone. Strong as a diamond. And as bright as the stars. This is the best wish that the name [Diamond Star] entrusts! This...is me? From the reflection on the sea, Xiaoxing seemed to see clearly what she looked like at this time, and couldn''t help but be surprised. She was used to the gloomy, gray, ghost ship-like version of herself, but she was a little unaccustomed to seeing this glamorous appearance all of a sudden. It''s like Cinderella turned into a princess overnight. "Yes, this is you." Xia En comforted [Diamond Star] in his heart: "From now on, you will only be more dazzling and beautiful than this!" [Really...really? Xia En vowed: "I swear in the name of Xia En!" Inspired by him, Xiaoxing had some hope for that kind of future. After coaxing this awkward ship spirit, Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. "But having said that, this effect...is a bit too exaggerated?" To be honest, not only the other crew members, but also him were shocked by this. At this time, the newness of the two ships made him feel a little unfamiliar, as if they had been restored to factory settings. But in fact, no matter which ship they are, they are significantly enhanced compared to when they were first built. Especially [Black Swan]. You know, the [Black Swan] was just a small and medium-sized three-masted sailboat at the beginning, but now, it has grown into a large ship that can be compared with the [Diamond Star]. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little relieved. It''s as if his child has finally grown up and can take charge of his own business. Of course, Xia En did not forget the biggest contributor to this enhancement. He turned around and said, "Xian Ge, thank you for your hard work this time." At present, Xian Ge has descended from a high place and returned to the crowd. As soon as it landed on the ground, the little dragon slumped down, its breath was sluggish, and it kept breathing heavily. It seemed that it was unwilling to even move. It was obvious that the [Fire Forging Technique] used on the two ships just now was a huge burden on Xiange and made her very tired. Xian Ge feebly cast her mimicry magic and turned back into a little girl. In this state, her face was extremely pale and she was covered in cold sweat, which made Xia En feel a little distressed. Moreover, even after that, Xian Ge puffed up her chest and said with a hint of pride. "Humph, I just said it''s okay to leave it to me, right?" "My majestic bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya, always does what I say!" This time, Xia En did not suppress her arrogance, but gently touched her little head and praised her sincerely. "Yes, yes, Xian Ge is the best." "hey-hey" After receiving the compliment, Xian Ge grinned, but his body fell to the side unconsciously. Xia En had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly supported her. "Xiange!?" Seeing this, Joey''s expression suddenly changed and he quickly asked: "What''s wrong with her?" Xia En observed carefully for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don''t worry, she''s just too tired." The little girl fell into his arms and fell asleep with a steady breath, but she was still mumbling words such as "The bronze dragon is the best in the world" and "I am so powerful". Xia En couldn''t laugh or cry for a while. He has to wait until he praises her before he is willing to fall asleep. He even says this in his dream. This obsession is too deep, right? Afterwards, Xia En and others spent some time processing the traces left near the port. Let the [Diamond Star] hide in the shadow of the [Black Swan] again. Immediately afterwards, Xia En asked the crew to move around on their own and enjoy the last period of time on [Liu Li Island]. He himself went to the [Federal Library] and prepared to say goodbye to the administrator Jane Vivian. Most of his goals on [Liu Li Island] have been achieved, and it''s time to set off on the road! (End of chapter) Chapter 321 Janes request, set off for [Leng Lie Sea]! Chapter 321 Janes request, set off for the [Cold Sea]! Federal Grand Library Due to the [Federal Calling Order], most people on [Liu Li Island] are busy dealing with the possible world-destroying flood. The large library, which was already deserted on weekdays, was even more deserted. It was also under this circumstance that Shane met the librarian Jane Vivian again. This elegant and wise half-elf old man was organizing the books on the bookshelf as usual. Seeing Xia En arrive, Jane was not surprised and said. "Are you leaving [Liu Li Island]?" This old woman had the wisdom accumulated over time, and she could see the purpose of Xia En''s visit at a glance. "Yes, tomorrow." Xia En nodded and said: "We''ve almost done everything we have to do, and it''s time to leave." "Moreover, tomorrow happens to be the day when the large-scale teleportation ritual begins." "It''s better to choose a day than to hit it. Otherwise, if you miss it, you will have to wait another week." Because of Jane''s previous free help and her actions of sticking to the Great Library for hundreds of years out of a promise. Xia En always respected Jane, so he would answer her questions in detail. Hearing this, Jian thought for a moment and said as if he had made a major decision. "In that case, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope Captain Shane can agree." Xia En was a little surprised: "What is the request?" "As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it." Just the help brought by Jian interpreting those three sentences for Xia En was enough for him to make such a promise. Those words directly gave Xia En a deeper understanding of history and the past. More importantly, Xia En also learned the truth that the ancient dragon clan has not yet perished! This means that Laila and the elves still have a chance to survive. Although it is only a possibility, whether there is this hope or not gives people a completely different feeling. However, Xia En was also a little curious, what could be the request that Jane could make so solemnly? Wouldn''t it be a bit embarrassing if I boasted about Haikou but couldn''t finish it in the end? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s thoughts, Jane smiled slightly. "Don''t worry, it''s not a very difficult request." "Rather, the difficulty lies in making up my mind." Hearing this, Xia En became even more confused: "What on earth is going on?" Jane still just said lightly: "You''ll find out tomorrow." Shane''s mouth twitched. Why is it so mysterious? But Jane is the elder after all, and Xia En can''t directly question her, so he can only say goodbye and leave. After Xia En left, Jane looked up at the bookshelves around her and walked slowly through them. She stretched out her fingers and stroked them on the covers of books that were almost as old as herself. The past events gradually came to mind. Including the appearance of the [Federal Grand Library] when it was first established, as well as the people who have met in the library and the books that have been read. This half-elf woman couldn''t help but have a look of reminiscence and nostalgia on her face, and she whispered to herself. "It turns out that it''s been so long..." Woohoo At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the closed library, making a strange whining sound. Weeping and complaining, with a bit of sadness. All things have animism, and this [Federal Library], which carries countless ancient books and history, has naturally given birth to its own spirituality over the long years. At this time, most likely because they were aware of a certain decision that Jane was about to make, the entire library also expressed feelings of reluctance and resentment. "Can''t you bear to leave me?" Jane looked up at the dome of the big library and smiled: "Actually, I can''t bear to leave you, old friend." "But, how can there be a banquet in the world that never ends?" "And don''t worry, I will come back one day." "While I''m away, please take good care of the child I chose." The gentle sound of wind sounded from all around again, as if granting Jane''s request. And Jane slowly walked to the door of the secret room. Press the button and push the door open. Compared with the last time I came here, the furnishings in the entire secret room have become much cleaner and tidier. Many equipments have been put away, as if they have been carefully sorted and cleaned. "Ms. Administrator, you, you are back!" At this time, a voice as thin as a mosquito rang from the side. This is a girl who wears glasses and dresses in an honest and rustic manner. At first glance, she seems to be the type who is easily shy and afraid of strangers. "Mia, do you still call me Ms. Administrator?" Jane smiled softly and said softly: "From tomorrow on, you will be the administrator of this library." The girl named Mia was still in disbelief and asked: "Management...Ms. Jane, do you really want to leave?" Jane nodded: "The previous commitment has bound me for too long." "Now that the agreement has been reached and the shackles of the past have been lifted, it''s time for me to visit other places in the Seven Seas." Mia was not used to facing such a soft-spoken administrator lady. On weekdays, even when facing her, Jane had a cold and pure attitude, with a hint of alienation. But when she thought that these might be the last few words Jane left before leaving, Mia felt a little bitter inexplicably. "But, Ms. Jane, why did you choose me as the next heir?" Mia asked in a low voice with a bit of inferiority complex in her tone of confusion. "I''m obviously very ordinary... I''m not good-looking, I''m weak, and I don''t have any connections. There should be many other more suitable candidates, right?" The position of administrator of the [Federal Great Library] has not changed in hundreds of years. But if there is a change, it will undoubtedly attract many applicants. Just the name [Federal Great Library] can make countless scholars flock to it. This is both an asset and an honor. Because of this, Mia is confused by Jane''s choice. "Actually the reason is very simple." Perhaps because she was about to leave, Jane showed great patience and explained softly: "Just because..." "You look a lot like me when I was younger, that''s all." "Young Admin Lady...how is that possible?" Mia''s first reaction was disbelief. Because in her impression, Jane always looked cool, calm and intellectual, as if she could solve any difficulties with ease. Even when facing powerful figures in the federation, Jane still refused to flatter or give in. On the contrary, the other party had to lower their stance. To be honest, Jane has always been Mia''s idol. That''s why she didn''t believe it. "Why don''t you believe it?" Jane said with a smile: "I used to be very timid. I would be shy when others stared at me. All I could think about was studying." "I''ve been laughed at a lot for this." "It''s just that things slowly change as we get older." "I believe that as long as I give you a chance, you can grow into a person who can stand on your own, maybe even better than me." After hearing these words, Mia''s eyes widened slightly: "Ms. Administrator..." She wiped away her tears and said seriously: "I will do my best! I will try my best to live up to your expectations!" "I will also wait until the day you come back." "good." Jane nodded: "Then...this is my agreement with you." "By the way, the reason why I am usually very cold towards you and other people is actually because I have lived too long and experienced too many joys and sorrows." "So I don''t want to establish new bonds and connections. It can be said that I am already a little afraid of separation, right?" "Usually, I''m really sorry." This can be said to be a kind of sadness for the immortal species. They had just established a relationship with a short-lived species, but in the blink of an eye, the other person had already left the world. Because he is afraid of separation, he uses a cold and hard appearance to isolate himself from others. But at this time, Jane also wanted to try to make some changes. other side. Shane arrived at the gate of the Moriarty family''s manor. On weekdays, it was Daisy and her brother who took the initiative to discuss business matters with him. It was also the first time for Shane to visit Moriarty''s manor like this. It has to be said that although the Moriarty family has declined a bit due to the disappearance of the ancestor, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The vastness of this manor can be said to be unprecedented in Xia En''s life. Inside the black hollow iron gate is a tall and neat white building and a wide and beautiful courtyard. The reliefs and murals on the walls are full of history, and there seems to be a large field in the distance. Being able to own such a manor on [Liu Li Island] where every inch of land is extremely valuable shows how wealthy the Moriarty family is. It was only after seeing this manor that Xia En had the real feeling that "it turns out that Daisy and Alessio are truly children of a big family." After all, in these days of getting along. The two people''s attitude toward Xia En has completely changed from being curious and somewhat disdainful, to communicating on an equal footing, to being extremely admiring and vaguely worshiping. Therefore, he almost forgot that the two siblings were children of a large family. Xia En was about to explain his purpose to the waiter guarding the door, when he heard the waiter take the initiative to speak. "Is this Mr. Shane? Please come in." "Miss Daisy has already given instructions that you will be treated as a distinguished guest of the Moriarty family and you can enter and leave the manor at will." "Oh well." Shane still appreciates Daisy''s thoughtfulness in details. It''s just that her behavior in some aspects was a little too frivolous, which made Xia En a little uncomfortable. "Miss Daisy is in the manor. I''m going to report to her. Sir, please wait in the waiting room for a while." Not long after, the waiter brought Xia En through the door and led him to a waiting room. What surprised Xia En. Along the way, the maids in the manor seemed to recognize his identity and whispered in low voices. "Is that Captain Shane of [Black Swan]?" "It really looks as good as the rumors say!" "It is said that even the administrator of the [Federal Library] treats him differently!" In fact, without Xia En even realizing it, he already had quite a reputation on [Liu Li Island]. On the one hand, the story of fighting out of the vampire encirclement and piercing three warships gradually unfolded. Coupled with the special treatment given by the librarian Jane, Shane has been cast into a mysterious veil. On the other hand, even if there are Daisy siblings in front of the stage acting as "smoke bombs." But with so many novel materials flowing into the market, and the two men''s wanton acquisition of shipbuilding materials, it is inevitable that some people will pay attention. Especially in Moriarty Manor, the servants also have their own guesses about this matter. Among them, Xia En, who has been in close contact with Miss Daisy recently, may be related to this series of events. It''s no wonder they are curious about Xia En. Not long after. Daisy rushed to Xia En in a hurry. With her signature charming smile on her face, she said: "Captain Shane, why are you free to visit our manor today?" Xia En said directly: "Actually... I will leave [Liu Li Island] soon and go to [Leng Lie Sea]." "ah?" Daisy was stunned for a moment and said: "It''s so fast..." Her surprised and sad expression suddenly changed, and she chuckled: "...Haha, do you think I would say that?" "You want to catch up with the teleportation circle tomorrow, right?" "To be honest, my [Qingfeng] and I are also going to the [Cold Sea]!" "Um?" After hearing the news, Xia En looked surprised. "Is it just you, or is your brother going too?" Daisy said frankly: "Let''s go together." "hiss" Shane was shocked by the Moriarty family''s decision. As far as he knew, there were only two direct young people of Moriarty''s generation, Daisy and her brother. It''s understandable to send one person, but if two people go, wouldn''t the situation be very serious if something unexpected happens? "The Moriarty family has never been afraid of sacrifice." Daisy said in a serious tone: "This is the ancestral motto of our family." "Don''t look at me like this, I still have the blood of Moriarty." "Besides, my parents are still young. Even if we have an accident, they can have a few more children." "As for my cousins, their desire for power is not that strong." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little emotional. After the [Federal Chief] disappeared, the Moriarty family still did not decline completely, but maintained a certain vitality. Sure enough, it was not without reason. Daisy continued: "What''s more, Captain Shane is here too!" "If you are here, you will definitely bring us back safely, right?" Shane could only say: "I will try my best." His original intention was to say goodbye to Daisy and his brother and to handle the last few trading transactions. But now that we are leaving together, there is no need to say anything more. The next morning. The port of [Liuli Island]. Shane waited for Jane''s visit on the Black Swan. The old woman was carrying a suitcase, wearing a black gauze skirt and a top hat, and said gently. "My request is... I want to stay on your ship for a while, and at the same time go to the [Cold Sea] to see the scenery of the Far North." "Captain Shane, are you willing to temporarily accept me as a crew member?" (End of chapter) Chapter 67 Fully upgrade and start strengthening! Chapter 67 is fully upgraded and begins to strengthen! ?The businessman in front of him has a fat belly and a shiny face. He is ten to nine points similar to Bekas on Duke Island. ?However, after hearing Xia En''s words, the businessman raised his eyebrows. Oh, it seems you have met Brother She before? After some exchanges, Shane finally understood that this businessman named Ganis was Becass brother. They are three brothers. When they grew up, they all worked as merchants in Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, working on Duke Island, Silver Moon Island, and Maple Leaf Island in the north. The three brothers often communicated with each other through letters and exchanged information. By chance, Ganis heard about Shane from Becass letter. ?With this relationship and hearing that Sean had a big deal to do with him, Ganis''s attitude became much more enthusiastic. ?However, after arriving on Shane''s ship and seeing the loot he took out with his own eyes, Ganis was still shocked. ?In his brother''s letter, Captain Shane had owed a lot of money before, and he made a fortune by going to sea. But even if it lasts, it will only be a business worth a few hundred silver snake coins. But right now This batch of treasures is worth at least hundreds of gold dragon coins! The gap has increased dozens of times! As a qualified businessman, Ganis never asked about the origin of these treasures, but instead spoke cautiously. Captain Shane, the amount of this treasure is too large for me to eat by myself. I need to report it to my superiors. Dont worry, I will never reveal your identity. His title has changed unconsciously. ?Shaan nodded: "Okay." ??If these treasures were sold in batches at small shops, they might be able to sell for a higher price. But that will also cause unnecessary trouble, and may even lead to the phenomenon of deceiving and abducting people from other islands. As for selling to Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, there is no such concern. The best thing is safety and convenience. ??Without even this bit of credibility, Tianqi Chamber of Commerce would not have been able to stand on the Seven Seas for such a long time. all the materials, weapons, jewelry, and ancient coins added up to a total of 243 gold dragon coins and 79 silver snake coins. Please take inventory. After a period of counting, Ganis put all the trophies into the space ring on his right hand, and respectfully handed the other silver ring to Xia En. Ring of Apocalypse (Silver) ?Quality: Rare Type: Equipment Description: A space ring prepared by the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce for distinguished silver-level members. It is made by "artisans" secret path professionals. Contains 10 cubic meters of storage space and cannot accommodate living animals. With this ring, you can get certain preferential treatment when trading with Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce. Produced by Tianqi, trustworthy! Obviously, after selling the loot this time, Xia En has been regarded as a big customer by Tianqi Chamber of Commerce, and it is normal to have some small benefits. ?Xia En took over the Ring of Apocalypse and put his spiritual power into it. Its like breaking through a thin layer of thin film. A medium-sized space appeared in his mind, and hundreds of coins were lying there quietly. After taking stock, Xia Ens lips curved into a smile. It feels so good to have money! ?However, after making money, the next step is to spend it. Xia En raised his head and saw Ganis looking at him eagerly. Captain Shane, is there anything you want to buy? You are now a silver-level member of Tianqi Chamber of Commerce and can enjoy a 20% discount! Good guy, you are waiting for me here! Xia En''s eyelids twitched, feeling that these two hundred gold dragon coins would not last long in his pocket. ?However, he still expressed his request.?????First, the supplies. This is easy to say, I am willing to give it to you as an addition to this transaction. ?Gannis said hurriedly, it was just some luggage and not worth much at all. Secondly, I need the best shipwrights on Silver Moon Island, high-grade wood, sails, artillery, steam turbines... ??The most important purpose of Xia En''s trip was to conduct a comprehensive upgrade of the Black Swan. This is something he promised Xiao Hei a long time ago. A mans promise is not a lottery ticket! ??It was okay to have no money before, but now that I have plenty of money, I naturally have to make arrangements as soon as possible. Dont forget, Xia En still has more than 100 [Filth Crystals] that he has not used. The reason why he is useless is not to save money for the New Year. One of the reasons is that reinforcement takes time. As the amount of [Filth Crystal] invested increases, the strengthening time will also increase. ?Core components such as sails and steam turbines may become unusable if they are in a strengthened state, causing the ship to encounter unexpected events at sea. Another reason is The same strengthening resources will, of course, be more effective when placed on higher-quality equipment. Good steel should be used on the blade! ??Xia Ens plan is to have the shipbuilder modify the hull of the Black Swan while it is docked at the port, and at the same time strengthen the newly purchased high-end components. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?After hearing Xia Ens request, Ganiss eyes lit up, and this business was a big deal. But after thinking about it, he said: "The shipwright, sails, and timber are all easy to find. I can arrange them for you now." However, you have to find someone to purchase advanced artillery and steam turbines. It just so happens that I have a suitable candidate here who may be able to meet your requirements. Shaan''s eyes were filled with joy: "Please Mr. Ganis to introduce me." Steam turbines and artillery were things that even money could not buy on Duke Island, but when Ganis said this, he knew there was something to be done! ??Gannis smiled bitterly and said: "As promised in advance, that gentleman has a very weird personality, and I cannot guarantee that the transaction will go smoothly." Ganniss efficiency was faster than Shane expected. ?In just half a day, he found a dozen experienced shipwrights and brought several high-grade woods and sails for Xia En to choose from. ?These woods and sails all have extraordinary secret powers, and each has its own characteristics and advantages. ?Xia En hesitated for a long time before making a choice. Sea Crystal Log Type: Material ?Quality: Rare Description: A strange tree living in sea water, which has undergone unique evolution in a special environment. Wood is strong and flexible, and looks like a special kind of spar. After being made into ship hulls and decks, the "sturdiness" attribute of the ship can be greatly enhanced.

(End of this chapter) Chapter 323 Come to [Cold Sea] again, ambush and attack! Chapter 323: Return to [Cold Sea], ambush and attack! With the arrival of the [Black Swan] and two frigates. One after another, captains recognized the identities of these three ships. "Is that the [Black Swan] that has been making a lot of noise recently? It doesn''t look like that." The person who said this was a rich man wearing a purple and black captain''s uniform. The ship under his feet is also purple and black, and in terms of size, it is not inferior to the [Black Swan]. And the crew on his ship is almost fully equipped! All of them are equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and their aura is quite impressive. You can tell at a glance that they are the elite among the elite. This man''s name is Orlando, and he is the captain of this third-class battleship. But at the same time, he also has a more prominent identity. He is the third heir to the Hans family on Liuli Island! Just mentioning the Hans family may make people feel strange. But when it comes to [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce], even a six-year-old child is familiar with it. Nowadays, the influence of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] has already radiated to the entire federation, and even almost every island under the jurisdiction of the federation will have a branch of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the economic lifeline of the Federation. The patriarch of the Hans family is the current president of the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]! Of course, holding the position of president does not mean that [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] is completely a family property of the Hans family. [Tianqi Chamber of Commerce] implements a board of directors system, and members of the board of directors have the power to check and balance and remove the president. Even so, the power of the Hans family is evident. Compared to the long-established Moriarty family, the Hans family actually only emerged in recent decades. But unlike the former''s declining situation, the Hans family can be said to be thriving every year. Now, it has completely surpassed the Moriarty family and become the leading wealthy family in the [Seven Seas Federation]. Some good people even call the Hans family the "sunset never sets" family to illustrate their prominence and power. Because of this. Only Orlando can pull out such a luxurious [Dreadnaught Storm]. This ship is a ship that the Hans family spent a lot of money to build. Although it is only a third-class battleship, its extremely high mobility, defense, and firepower give it a certain advantage against second-class or even first-class battleships. If you can''t fight, you can still escape! It is said that the construction of this ship also referred to the legendary "Noah''s Ark", which has now become the ghost ship "Diamond Star". Standing on this ship, Orlando is qualified to point out the [Black Swan]. "Captain Orlando is right." The captain of a nearby ship echoed: "Then the captain of the [Black Swan] is just a country bumpkin from a small place. How can he compare with you?" "I really don''t know what Daisy and my brother saw in him, and they were willing to degenerate themselves to protect him." "hehe" Hearing this poor flattery, Orlando chuckled, but a coldness flashed in his eyes. These words really spoke to his heart. A large part of the reason why Orlando dislikes the Black Swan so much is because of Daisy''s favor for Shane. Originally, there was a trend of marriage between the Moriarty family and the Hans family. It just so happens that Orlando is still pursuing Daisy. As long as you spend a while, you''ll probably be able to get it! Who would have thought that after the [Black Swan] arrived at [Liu Li Island], this matter would come to an end inexplicably. It is obviously unrealistic to say that Orlando has no resentment in his heart. However, in this teleportation ritual, he could not directly attack the [Black Swan], so he could only use words to vent his dissatisfaction. other side. Shane also noticed the strange looks from the ship. "Why does this ship... look familiar?" "I feel that the outline is somewhat similar to Xiaoxing..." However, there were actually quite a few similar-looking ships in the Seven Seas, so he didn''t pay too much attention to them. Instead, he silently looked at the vampire ships in the distance. On those ships, there were even more malicious looks, even with faint murderous intent. Maybe...what are those vampire guys planning? However, if they still thought that Xia En and [Black Swan] were as powerful as they were before landing on [Liu Li Island], then they would definitely get a huge surprise! After calming down his thoughts, Xia En turned his head and looked at the sea that was actively stirring. I saw little bits of blue light suddenly lighting up on the calm sea. These light points converged into lines at an extremely fast speed, and then the lines connected with each other to form a magic circle that encompassed the entire sea area. In order to cope with the possible "second annihilation crisis", federal officials have spent a lot of money. I don''t know how many precious materials were put into this sea area to create this semi-permanent large-scale teleportation circle. Not only that. On the outer [Hunting Boat], several powerful and high-status scholars and mages are concentrating on controlling the operation of this magic circle. "Huh? Weird..." An old mage with a long white beard frowned and said doubtfully. "Why is it so difficult to run the teleportation ritual today?" "It''s like... overloaded?" Compared with usual times, both the activation of the secret power and the formation and connection of the blue light points have slowed down a lot. It is as if a person is carrying a load far exceeding his own weight and moving forward with a heavy load. The white-bearded mage''s eyes scanned the sea. Generally speaking, this phenomenon only occurs when transmitting those very large ships. But right now, among the ships embarking on the journey, there is clearly no one of that magnitude? Strangely enough, since the teleportation formation has been started, there is no reason to stop it midway. Otherwise, not only the teleportation array may be damaged, but the ships within it may also fall into space turbulence and be teleported to an unknown location. "Increase the share of investment in consumables and mobilize more resources as soon as possible!" "If the whole army collapses, it''s no joke!" As the person in charge of the magic circle, Master Whitebeard immediately issued orders vigorously and resolutely. "Just use the newly purchased... material called [Rhinestone Essence]." "I have tested it, and its properties perfectly meet the needs of the array, and its reliability is guaranteed." [Rhinestone] and [Rhinestone Essence] have been widely recognized by many industries in [Liu Li Island] as soon as they entered the market. Its excellence lies in its extremely high universality and extremely pure nature, with no limitations. They can be used in almost any field where secret power is used. It is a matter of course that federal officials use it as a consumable for the teleportation circle. Soon, countless dots and lines were connected. If someone looks down from a high place, they can see that the blue lines in the entire sea area form a swirling pattern. Immediately afterwards, the power of teleportation began to spread. "Huh? This power..." On board the Black Swan, Xia En raised his eyebrows and felt a little familiar. Back then, in the "Sea of ??Chaos", he relied on the vortex generated by "Mr. Heller" of the "Netherworld Sect" to escape the pursuit of the "Thousand Changers" and came to the "Cold Sea". There seems to be some similarity between the two. Perhaps, the Federation built this huge ritual by referring to the teleportation spell of the [Netherworld Sect]. at the same time. Xiaoxing''s voice suddenly sounded in Xia En''s heart. Mr. Captain... [I feel... my body is itchy, so strange...] Xia En frowned and looked at the reflection of the [Black Swan] on the sea. With the activation of the teleportation array, the originally calm sea surface around him also became rippled, and the reflection of the [Black Swan] was also somewhat fragmented. Thinking about it, it is precisely because of this reason that the special space where the [Diamond Star] is located has been affected. This kind of change was something Xia En didn''t expect. He looked around, hesitating whether to project the [Diamond Star] into reality. It would be embarrassing if the [Black Swan] teleported away and the [Diamond Star] still stayed in this sea area. As if aware of Xia En''s worry, Xiaoxing said again. No need to do that... I...have a way... "Oh well." Out of trust in Xiaoxing, Xia En had no choice but to do nothing for the time being. at the same time. The captains and crew of other ships in this area also noticed the abnormal situation. "Huh? Why is the transmission speed so slow this time?" "Yeah, it usually only takes a blink of an eye, right?" Many crew members present, although this was their first official teleportation, they had at least seen the previous batches of teleportations. It is inevitable to feel strange about the current situation. And the other side. The mystics responsible for controlling the teleportation formation were already sweating profusely. "What the hell!" The leader, the white-bearded mage, turned pale: "Isn''t this transmission too expensive?" All kinds of materials in the energy storage pool are rapidly being converted into secret power, and even the backup hidden energy that was urgently transported before is almost exhausted. "Arch Mage, I can''t stand it anymore!" An array master who was activating the formation turned pale. This was a sign that his spiritual power and secret power had been drained out. "You have to hold on even if you can''t hold it back!" Master Baihu gave a strong order: "The ritual is about to reach the final step!" Of course, this archmage didn''t just give orders, he himself was at the forefront to maintain the stability of the entire teleportation formation. Finally, after a period of difficult persistence, a bright blue light burst out on the sea. At this moment, a sudden change occurred! "Archmage, look!" A scholar pointed to the sea not far away in surprise, and the white-bearded archmage looked in the direction of his fingertips. At this time, the light on the sea dimmed for some reason. The sky is low and the waves are rolling. And on the ocean-like azure magic circle, the shadow of a huge monster has quietly emerged. That is a huge ship that far exceeds all the ships in this sea area! The towering sides of the ship are like mountains that can be seen as far as the eye can see, and the huge sails are automatic and roaring fiercely in the absence of wind. There was no trace of damage on the deck and hull, and it looked like a masterpiece on display. The whole shape of the ship is filled with a smooth beauty that makes people unable to take their eyes away. But, suddenly! The ship''s sides, deck, hull, ropes, cannons, sails... Everything on the entire ship was lit with faint blue flames. The fire poured out like water and spread out, and the firelight even reflected the keel and cabin inside the ship. Dangerous, strange, and powerful. But it has a thrilling beauty that makes people deeply fascinated. It broke into people''s field of vision rudely and unreasonably, and attracted the attention of everyone present. "That''s..." The Whitebearded Archmage murmured in disbelief: "[Diamond Star]?" "In my lifetime, I actually saw this ship again?" "No wonder the teleportation ritual is so difficult to operate. This ship is not so lucky..." When he was young, this archmage once went to the [Misty Sea] and survived because of the unintentional kindness of the [Diamond Star]. But he didn''t expect to see this mysterious ghost ship again under today''s circumstances. "Why did the [Diamond Star] appear here?" "And it looks very different from before? What happened to it?" In an instant, a strong curiosity arose in the Archmage''s heart, and he even wanted to forcefully keep the [Diamond Star] behind to find out. But in the end, he restrained himself and just looked at this "lost ship" with wonder. And even the highly respected Archmage was so surprised, let alone the other people present. They will probably remember this moment forever. Remember the day when the reborn Diamond Star made its first appearance on the Seven Seas. "Where did that ship come from?" Orlando was more surprised than ordinary people, and a little frightened and angry. In front of the [Diamond Star] at this time, his [Dauntless Storm] seemed to have become a poor imitation, a clown used as a foil. He even felt a little fear and uneasiness coming from deep within the hull. That was the emotion the [Dauntless Storm] had towards the [Diamond Star]. Not only that, Orlando also noticed that the shadow of this big ship happened to appear near the Black Swan. Is there any connection between the two? However, before everyone could think about it, the blue sea of ??light submerged and enveloped them all. When people opened their eyes again, what they breathed was the cold and chilling air. There are broken ice and icebergs floating on the sea not far away. The sky was iron gray, and a sea breeze blew by, bringing a cold breath. at the same time. The previous shadow of the [Diamond Star] also quietly disappeared. Because it all happened so quickly, many people thought that the ghost ship was their own hallucination. Shane was in a weird mood. He didn''t expect that the "method" Xiaoxing mentioned would be so high-profile. But just as the aftermath of the teleportation circle gradually dissipated, another cry of killing suddenly rang out from the nearby sea. Several ships sailed out from behind the iceberg and headed straight for the ships. someone on the leading ship shouted. "The blood clan is doing business, and the rest are waiting to disperse!" (End of chapter) Chapter 324 [Blood Killing Grip] [Dark Red Baron] Chapter 324 [Blood Killing Grip] [Dark Red Baron] Facing the sudden appearance of the vampire ships, the captains and crew members of many ships couldn''t help but panic. There is no other reason. The Blood Clan has always been notorious and infamous in the Federation of the Seven Seas. If a ship robbed by pirates contains a prominent businessman or family member, it may be possible to survive after paying a sufficient ransom. But if they encounter a Vampire ship, not only will their survival rate be appallingly low, but they will also become blood food for the Vampires. What''s more, they will be kept in captivity by the vampires and used as living livestock! Just imagining such a horrific and miserable experience is enough to make ordinary crew members feel numb. Not only that, the vampires'' moody temperament is also famous in the Federation. Because when sucking the blood of others, various negative emotions will naturally accumulate in the blood of the vampires, which makes their characters generally prone to extremes and madness. Many times, some ships encountered **** hunting and revenge without knowing where they had offended them. Maybe sometimes, the vampires don''t take action for a specific purpose at all. But they simply want to hunt and obtain fresh blood food. Most ships would choose to stay away from such a dangerous and extremely unstable race. Fortunately, there is official federal control around [Liu Li Island], so no matter how bold the vampires are, they don''t dare to do anything blatantly. But now, he was teleported to the [Cold Sea] near the far north. Without the checks and balances of the federation, God knows what crazy things these vampires will do! -The image of the Vampires among ordinary people in the Federation is so bad. If it weren''t for the existence of vampires among the top leaders of the federation, and from time to time some people would fall into the arms of vampires in order to extend their lives, maybe someone would have wanted to remove them from the federation. Just when everyone was feeling panic. The vampire sailor who shouted earlier said again: "Our target is only the [Black Swan], other ships should stay away quickly!" After hearing this, the captains relaxed slightly and glanced at Xia En on the deck of the [Black Swan] with sympathetic eyes. Being entangled by this group of lunatics, this captain has been unlucky for eight lifetimes! Everyone knows a little bit about the entanglement between the Blood Tribe and Xia En. Combined with the behavior of this group of vampires, it is not difficult to guess that they have been lying in wait here for a long time, waiting for the moment when the transmission ends and the [Black Swan] falls into the trap! Some people couldn''t help but muttered: "Obviously the more important thing now is to solve the predicted disaster, but we still have to fight among ourselves at this time..." "Sure enough, only a vampire madman can do such a thing." However, slander is slander, and sympathy is sympathy. None of these captains planned to intercept the vampire ships. Instead, they silently drove their ships into the distance, hoping to stay away from the upcoming naval battle. Since they have no relatives or connections, they naturally have no reason to stand up for the [Black Swan]. And if he is hated by the vampires, he will be in big trouble! Not to mention the meritorious service achieved in this operation, I am afraid that he will die before leaving the battle soon. Among the ships, the only ones that remained unwavering were the "Qingfeng" and "Hanyu". "Captain Shane! What now?" On the deck, Daisy frowned slightly and shouted to Xia En across the sea. The current situation is actually extremely dangerous. There are no less than seven vampire warships that Daisy has discovered now! In addition to the ships that were teleported with them earlier, the number of ships on the Vampire side has exceeded ten! Although compared to the previous **** hunts, the tonnage and magnitude of these ships were generally smaller. But their numbers make up for it. Quality is not enough, quantity is required! Moreover, they also anticipated the possibility of [Black Swan] escaping, so they surrounded it from all directions. In front of such a dragnet, even escape seems to be a luxury. This shows the determination of the vampires in this action! Not only do they want to defeat the [Black Swan], but they also want to keep Xia En and Feiya alive on the ship! "What a generous gesture." Xia En sneered, but was not panicked. His perception had scanned all the ships nearby, and there was no aura on them that would make him fearful. In other words, there is no legendary powerhouse present! In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of! After this trip to [Liu Li Island], Xia En had the confidence to say such a thing. And soon, he saw clearly the appearance of the vampire ship at the head, and he couldn''t help but raise his brows. "This is...[Dark Red Baron]?" If Xia En remembered correctly, this was one of the five vampire warships from last time. Obviously, whether it was the last hunt or this ambush, the captain of the [Dark Red Baron] was the key figure in the operation. Maybe he was the mastermind behind the two attacks! It seemed to be to support Xia En''s conjecture. At this moment, an extremely strong killing intent immediately erupted from the [Dark Red Baron]. This murderous intention was so strong that it almost condensed into substance, like a dark red mist, covering the sky above the "Dark Red Baron". There is also a special secret power mixed in it. Rather than pure murderous intent, it is more like the manifestation of a certain realm and a way of using secret power. "Is this... the realm of murderous intent?" At this time, Alessio''s face on the "Han Yu" could not help but change slightly, showing strong alertness and solemnity. "That''s the signature ability of the sixth-level powerhouse [Blood Killing Grip] - Richard!" "It is said that those who are on the secret path in the realm of murderous intent will be continuously contaminated by that murderous intent, and eventually lose their minds and become monsters who only know how to kill." "I didn''t expect that he would actually take action himself." Hearing what Alessio said, Daisy on the side also had an impression. "I remember he also has a younger sister, whose nickname seems to be [Burning Gold Blood]..." "It''s just that, for some reason, it seems to have disappeared?" Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. Unlike other vampires who want to take action against Fei Ya, this [Blood Killing Grip] is obviously coming for him! After all, it was him who killed [Burning Gold Blood] Twilight on [Island of Sand]. It is only natural that Richard wants to take revenge on himself. But for this matter, Xia En didn''t feel the slightest apology. Since Twilight wanted to kill him, she also wanted to give him her first embrace and transform him into a vampire. Then it is also natural for him to kill her! "Do you want to seek revenge from me? Then come and try!" Xia En looked at the approaching [Dark Red Baron], and his momentum continued to build up. Unlike the last time he was forced to break out of the encirclement, this time he was going to fight a real tough battle! However, when the [Dark Red Baron] was still some distance away. The [Fearless Storm], which was not far from the three ships, was the first to sail towards them. This made Shane feel a little strange. He has nothing to do with this ship, so what does the other party want to do now? You can''t help yourself against the vampire attack, right? Of course Orlando would not be so kind. On the deck, Orlando, who was slightly fat, first cast a gloating and mocking look at Shane. Then, he turned to look at Daisy on the [Qingfeng] and said. "Daisy, take your brother and me and go!" "With [Blood Killing Grip] personally taking action, this [Black Swan] and this pretty boy are all doomed." "It''s not too late to come with me now." Orlando''s attitude was full of confidence and he said calmly: "For my sake, Richard will not do anything to you." Upon hearing this, Daisy just said coldly: "I appreciate your kindness." "But...I refuse!" "Alessio and I have agreed to be the frigates of the [Black Swan], so we must keep our promise." "Orlando and you guys, it''s better to stay away from this sea area as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer a lot if you get entangled by those vampires." Hearing this, Orlando, who was originally confident, changed his expression. "Daisy...are you crazy?" He didn''t expect that in the face of such a life and death crisis, Daisy would insist on going her own way and stay with Xia En. This was completely different from what he had expected. Orlando thought that Daisy would decisively leave with him. In this way, not only did he gain a reliable ally, but he could also watch the pretty boy who might become his love rival die at the hands of the vampires. Its a real pleasure and kills two birds with one stone! But who thought that Daisy would actually make such a decision? Doesn''t this mean that she is willing to live and die with that pretty boy? At the thought of this, the jealousy in Orlando''s heart burned like a flame. When he looked at Xia En, his eyes looked like they were about to spit out fire. Orlando couldn''t help but ask: "Daisy, what kind of ecstasy soup did this pretty boy fill you with?" "That''s why you care so much about him?" Daisy couldn''t help frowning: "I don''t understand what you are talking about." "One mouthful and one pretty boy, is this the etiquette that the Hans family should have?" "And, can you please stop calling me by my first name? We shouldn''t be very familiar with each other, right?" In fact, Daisy had no idea about the possible marriage with Orlando. It was more of Orlando''s wishful thinking. When he heard these words, Orlando''s face turned the color of pig liver, and he laughed in anger. "Okay...okay!" "You will regret your decision." After that, Orlando waved his hand and signaled the crew to turn around and leave. For a moment just now, he wanted to take action directly against Xia En and others. But when he considered that the crew on his ship might leak the news after returning to [Liu Li Island], this would lead to revenge from the Moriarty family. Orlando still suppressed the rage in his heart. Besides, even if he didn''t have to take action, Xia En was destined to die. Orlando planned to stay on the sea not far away until he saw the sinking of the [Black Swan] with his own eyes. Perhaps by then, if he steps forward again, he might be able to redeem the Daisy siblings from the vampires. But at that time, the fate of Daisy and her brother will be decided by themselves! Thinking of this, Orlando couldn''t help but curl up into a cold smile. Of course, Xia En didn''t know what this strange captain was thinking. But looking at his demeanor and expression, Xia En could inevitably see his malice and hostility, and couldn''t help but complain. "Does this person have hyperthyroidism?" "Why are you so excited?" Daisy blinked: "Hyperthyroidism, what is that?" Xia Enyan said concisely and concisely: "In short, it''s just a disease." After this little episode, Xia En thought he was about to face an attack from the vampire ship, so he got everyone ready for battle. Just the next moment. Something happened that shocked everyone. "fire!" At the command of the vampire sailors, the cannons on the ship roared loudly, and the cannonballs drew graceful arcs in mid-air. The cannonball hit the water and water columns rose in all directions. However, the main impact point of these shells is not on the [Black Swan], but on the [Dauntless Storm] which has not sailed far! Boom! A heavy cannonball hit the side of the [Dauntless Storm], making a loud noise that shook the entire ship slightly. "Captain Orlando! Shot on the rear side!" The first mate on the ship immediately reported: "Captain, what should we do now?" "Fight or flight?" Orlando was stunned by the cannon and looked behind him in disbelief. Are these vampires crazy? He even beat himself up? Not far away, Xia En quickly understood the reason why the vampires bombarded the [Fearless Storm]. Obviously, because the [Dauntless Storm] and the [Black Swan] are too close, they are considered by the vampires to be Shane''s allies just like the [Breeze] and the [Cold Rain]. And the [Fearless Storm] looked so solid and powerful, so it naturally became their primary target. Speaking of which, how many shots did the [Fearless Storm] block for Xia En and others? After thinking about these things clearly, Xia En couldn''t help but want to laugh. Just now Orlando said that for his sake, the vampires would not take action against Daisy and her sister. As a result, now, he himself is being bombarded by the vampires. I wonder what Orlando is feeling now. The name of the Hans family? Of course it''s scary, but the madness of the Vampires is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Besides, in the [Cold Sea] so far away in the sky, who can prove that they sunk the [Dreadnaught Storm]? Shane was even more curious, what was Orlando going to do now? Was he forced to start a war with the vampires, or was he pretending that nothing had happened and sneak away in despair? Orlando''s expression changed uncertainly for a while, but finally he made up his mind and let the crew shout. "We have nothing to do with the [Black Swan] and will leave immediately." "If you attack the [Fearless Storm] again, don''t blame us for counterattack!" Hearing this, Richard on the [Dark Red Baron] also realized that they seemed to have hit the wrong person, so he immediately changed the target of the fire. [Dauntless Storm] was able to sail into the distance quietly. Shane also didn''t expect that Orlando could be so tolerant when facing the vampires. He was like a green turtle and could only complain. "Look at the back of that ship, it looks like a dog..." Immediately, Xia En became serious and ordered. "[Black Swan], move forward at full speed!" "Target, [Dark Red Baron]!" (End of chapter) Chapter 325 The first battle of [Black Swan] after transformation Chapter 325 The first battle of [Black Swan] after transformation Woo A long and loud whistle sounded on the chilling sea of ??ice. It is different from the last decision of choosing the weakest direction in the encirclement to break out. This time, Xia En charged directly towards the leading [Dark Red Baron]. This is not only because of the rapid improvement of himself and [Black Swan], but also because of the existence of [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] beside him. If there is a fierce pursuit and escape battle like last time, the [Black Swan] may be fine. However, the two ships, which are lagging behind the [Black Swan] in all aspects of performance, will undoubtedly be damaged by gunfire, or even be directly sunk! That''s not what Shane wants to see. Since the two siblings decided to stay, Xia En would not let them down. The best way to prevent the two ships from being attacked is to appear like a meteor and attract all the enemy''s attention. And, at the fastest speed, crush the enemy to pieces! This method sounds a bit fanciful and full of arrogance. Can Shane do this? "I can do it." Xia En said to himself. If before the trip to [Liuli Island], Xia En might not have the confidence to say such words. But now, he has the confidence to make such a decision! The captain is the leader of a ship and the core of the crew. After Xia En issued this order, all the crew members immediately prepared for battle without any hesitation and looked at the approaching vampire ships. At this moment, everyone on the [Black Swan] seemed to have become a whole, and their high fighting spirit continued to surge. Seeing this scene, Daisy on the [Qingfeng] not only looked a little dazed. "So...is this the attitude of the [Black Swan] during battle?" "Although Captain Shane''s crew is small, they are all elite..." The most important thing is the attitude that as long as Shane says a word, the crew members are willing to go through fire and water for him without hesitation. This made both Daisy and Alessio a little surprised and envious. The crew on their ship cannot be said to be disloyal, but that is loyalty based on generous rewards and a reasonable reward and punishment mechanism. If they encounter an invincible enemy, a considerable number of crew members may choose to surrender. Just like the army in the Cold War Age in ancient books, when the number of casualties reaches a certain level, they will flee or even mutiny. It''s just that because of the special environment on the sea, the sailors have no place to escape if they want to. In fact, the choice of Daisy and her brother to stay has already caused dissatisfaction among some crew members. It was just because of their usual prestige that no one dared to speak out. -This kind of relationship is the normal relationship between captains and crew members. Even on a pirate ship, the pirate captain has to be careful about being usurped by his own men. The fact that every crew member on the Black Swan is willing to sacrifice their lives for the captain is a very rare exception. Because of this, when seeing this situation, both Daisy and Alessio couldn''t help but feel a bit of envy in their hearts. "By the way, we have to catch up with Captain Shane as soon as possible." Daisy quickly came to her senses and ordered the crew to follow the Black Swan. However, she soon discovered... I cant keep up, I cant keep up at all! Even though the [Qingfeng] was already moving at full speed, the distance between them and the [Black Swan] instead of getting closer, actually became farther away visibly to the naked eye. For a moment, Daisy wondered if the steam turbine on the ship was malfunctioning! But she soon confirmed that all components on the ship were intact - for this operation, of course they had done a thorough inspection before going to sea, and it was impossible to go to sea with faulty equipment. And the reason why they were left behind by the [Black Swan] was not because the [Qingfeng] was too slow, but just because... The speed of the [Black Swan] is too fast! "That''s right?" Daisy couldn''t help but stare wide-eyed: "[Qingfeng] is equipped with the latest power furnace, how can it be stretched so far?" "Moreover, [Black Swan] is still so big..." It''s easy to understand why Daisy was shocked. A larger ship must have a stronger power core if it wants to have faster speed. The size of [Black Swan] is at least three times that of [Qingfeng], and its speed is also about three times that of [Qingfeng]! This back and forth is enough to illustrate the terrifying performance of the [Black Swan]. Daisy even wanted to dismantle the [Black Swan] to see what its internal structure looked like. Especially its power cabin must hide a huge secret. That''s exactly what happened. In the power room of the [Black Swan], the steam turbine named [The Gluttonous Monarch] is running at maximum power. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Every movement of [Gluttony Monarch] is like a dull heartbeat. It''s like a thunderous drum beat, constantly bursting out with exaggerated power and transmitted to the rear of the hull. It''s like a big, steady and powerful hand, constantly pushing the entire ship forward. Compared with before the hull was strengthened, the appearance of this steam turbine has also changed a lot. The most significant change is its body shape. At this time, [Gluttony Monarch] has completely occupied the entire expanded power room, and it is packed to the brim. It looks like a living mechanical beast composed of levers, gears, and cylinders! In terms of appearance alone, it was already scarier than the steam humanoids in the Rusty Waste City that Shane had seen. On the floor next to the steam turbine, there is also a hill-like [Rhinestone] placed on it. Since federal officials use [Rhinestone] as a strategic resource, as the [Lord of the Rhine], Shane has no reason not to use this material extensively. Coincidentally, after getting the [Rhinestone Pig] named "Pumpman". In [Rhine Secret Realm], the production of [Rhinestone] and [Rhinestone Essence] have been greatly increased. This also gave Xia En the capital to squander them. At this time, every once in a while, a strong stream of steam will be emitted from the abdominal cavity of [Gluttony Monarch], and several pieces of [Rhinestone] will be involved in it. Boom boom Then, a sound like chewing came from the white steam. When the steam dissipated, the previous pieces of [Rhinestone] had disappeared. "Gululu..." Even so, [Gluttonous Monarch]''s desire seems to have not been satisfied, but it still knows the difference between "a full meal" and "a full meal", so it does not continue to eat. On the sea. Naturally, Daisy and Alessio didn''t know what happened in the power room of the [Black Swan]. After the shock, Alessio made the right decision. "Sister, it''s better not to get too close to the [Black Swan] now." "Since we can''t catch up with the [Black Swan], it means that its maneuverability is far superior to ours." "If we follow it, we will become a burden or be affected by artillery shells." "It''s better to provide support from a distance. Maybe we can also provide some help to Captain Shane." As a young officer who became famous at a young age in the Federal Navy, Alessio naturally has real qualities. Therefore, he quickly made an accurate analysis of the battle situation and made the optimal decision. "But...that''s the [Dark Red Baron]..." Looking at the [Black Swan] in front of her, a look of worry appeared on Daisy''s face involuntarily. At the moment, although the [Black Swan] is very aggressive, in terms of numbers, it is obvious that the opposite Vampire race has the upper hand. Is it really wise to confront them directly like this? However, Daisy also knew that she could not change Shane''s decision. He could only follow his brother''s advice, keep a certain distance from the [Black Swan], and prepare to fire at the vampire ship in the distance. Dark Red Baron At the front of the deck, [Blood Killing Grip] Richard looked at the rapidly approaching [Black Swan] and sneered. "Haha, you didn''t choose to run away, but took the initiative to approach me?" "It seems you know there is nowhere to escape this time and want to die in the battle?" "Very good, let me satisfy you!" Although Richard had a contemptuous attitude towards Shane, his behavior was not at all conceited or relaxed. The most obvious place is In Richard''s mind, Xia En is a secret person whose strength is far inferior to him. Richard did not rely on his personal strength to take the initiative to attack the [Black Swan] alone. Instead, he asked the crew to launch another round of bombardment. boom! boom! boom! Countless artillery fired in unison, composing a heroic symphony in this sea area. It has to be said that although these vampire warships vary in size, the accuracy of their artillery is significantly improved compared to the enemies Xia En encountered before. At this distance, it can indeed cause a devastating blow to ordinary warships. However, they still underestimated the mobility of the [Black Swan]! Ever since Xia En traveled through time, the speed of the [Black Swan] has been one of his trump cards. And after this [Black Swan (+8)], its speed soared to the point where even Xia En felt it was a bit exaggerated. In fact, the speed of the two ships that easily escaped the [Qingfeng] before was not the limit of the [Black Swan] at this time! Buzz As the hull trembled slightly, the speed of the [Black Swan] suddenly increased, like a swimming gray-black swordfish, piercing forward. Not only that, the [Black Swan] can also sway left and right in this intensive bombardment, like the stunts performed by sports cars in action movies. Even if they are both vehicles, the difficulty of doing this kind of action on a boat and in a car is completely different. Especially a large ship of the size of the [Black Swan]. If someone says that it can perform operations like "Z-shape shaking", 80% of people will think that this is because their brains are broken. But [Black Swan] did it. This also leads to The cannonballs that were supposed to land on it all failed because of this unnatural acceleration. They plunge into the sea at the end of the parabola, causing huge water columns and small-scale chaotic waves. Seeing this scene, the sailors on the Vampire warship couldn''t help but be stunned. "Are you kidding me?" "N-that... that ship actually dodged all the cannonballs?" Such exaggerated deeds have never appeared even in legends! Not far away, on the [Dauntless Storm], which was fleeing the sea in despair, Orlando couldn''t help but widen his eyes. "How is this possible?" "Is this something a ship can do?" However, Orlando had seen some things about the world, so he quickly calmed down and spoke harshly. "What good is light if it has speed?" "If you really go head-to-head with the [Dark Red Baron], I don''t believe you can survive!" at the same time. [Black Swan] also started its own counterattack. On the side of the ship, several artillery pieces slowly adjusted their muzzles without human control. Together with the rolling shells, they made a low whisper, seeming to laugh at the enemy''s ignorance. Immediately, artillery fire roared! Solid cannonballs were blasted out one after another at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, hitting the hulls of several Vampire warships with a brutal and explosive attitude. Nowadays, the firepower of [Black Swan] has reached an extremely exaggerated level. Not only the density of artillery, but also the intensity of each artillery shot. These artillery pieces are no longer pure physical attacks, but carry the secret power contained in the [Black Swan]. It can be said that each cannonball is a miniature spell. Therefore, although there were strong men on the vampire warships who opened protective shields or intercepted the shells, they had little effect. Some people even had their bodies directly pierced by shells and died on the spot. Of course, this round of shelling was still far from the firepower that penetrated the entire ship. However, compared to the situation where the Vampire warships didn''t even hit a single cannonball, the [Black Swan] can definitely be considered a fruitful victory. The current situation is simply like the [Black Swan] suppressing more than ten vampire warships with the firepower of one ship! "So strong!" Daisy opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared intently at the center of the battlefield, unable to help but look dazed. "Is this the [Black Swan] in combat mode?" The last time she and Alessio rushed to the scene, they had already reached the stage where the [Black Swan] broke out of the encirclement and sprinted with all its strength. Therefore, Daisy only saw the speed of the [Black Swan], but missed the scene of the battle between the two sides. That''s why he was so shocked. And if her mood is one of surprise, then Richard''s mood on the [Dark Red Baron] at this moment can only be described as "furious"! "Damn it! The speed of that ship has actually become faster again?" "What modifications did he make during this time?" Richard''s face was gloomy, but he was not afraid at all. The current situation is ten ships versus one! The advantage is mine! Just relying on the number of people, he can completely crush the [Black Swan]! After the distance between the two parties entered a dangerous range, Richard immediately issued an order. "All hands go out and stop it!" (End of chapter) Chapter 326 Crush head-on and sweep everything! Chapter 326: Frontal crushing, sweeping everything! Following Richard''s order. Many vampire warships immediately galloped out like wild horses. It has to be said that under the command of Richard, the captains of these warships showed quite good tactical qualities. They did not rush towards the [Black Swan] recklessly, but each adjusted their own course and angle, and surrounded it with a cornered force. It was fast and disciplined, as if it had been prepared in advance. Some crew members even shouted: "Be careful of the ghost ship!" After the last breakout battle, the existence of the "Ghost Ship" is no longer a secret among these vampires. But in the eyes of most people, it is still difficult to connect that ghost ship with the famous "Diamond Star" on the sea. Moreover, because the time it appeared was so brief, it didn''t even look like a real ship. Therefore, many vampires believe that the appearance of the ghost ship is just a secret ability of Xia En. It is equivalent to a spell that temporarily summons the shadow of a "ghost ship" to make it attack. Strong is powerful. But there are also restrictions on use. The Vampires would have such a conjecture, which may sound a bit outrageous, but it is actually very reasonable. After all, how could a normal person imagine The legendary [Diamond Star] has actually regained its owner, and is willing to hide in the reflection of the [Black Swan]. However, judging from the actions of the vampire warships. They had obviously learned the lesson from last time, had a deeper understanding of the [Black Swan], and had chosen a set of tactics to deliberately target it. At this moment, all the vampire warships are like hyenas on the grassland. It not only maintains a certain distance from the [Black Swan], but also surrounds it like a big net, and may launch a fatal attack at any time. However, facing such a dangerous situation, Xia En''s expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. Even the course of the [Black Swan] did not waver at all. His goal is clear! No matter what tactics the vampires plan to adopt, Xia En''s primary target is the [Dark Red Baron]! To capture the thief, capture the king first! As long as their leader Richard is killed, the remaining vampires will quickly fall into defeat. Therefore, the [Black Swan] rushed straight towards the [Dark Red Baron], leaving only a snow-white wave behind it. "Huh? You actually want to use me as a breakthrough?" Richard on the deck quickly saw through Shane''s intentions and couldn''t help but sneer. "Very good, it seems I''m really looking down on you!" "Go, activate the [Blood Killing Formation] and sacrifice all the blood food." Hearing this, the first mate next to him was obviously surprised: "All?" For the vampires, "blood food", that is, the slaves on the ship, is a very important resource when sailing on the sea. Once they are exhausted, the crew''s combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and they may even fight each other or fall into madness. Richard''s order was quite generous. The first mate was surprised, but his hand movements were not slow at all, and he passed the order directly. Immediately, deep in the cabin, the throats of prisoners and slaves were slit one after another. Their blood kept dripping on the floor, and was gathered together under the influence of some mysterious force, and was transported to a deeper place. It''s like... this [Dark Red Baron] is greedily sucking the blood of slaves! Thats right, like the Black Swan, the Dark Red Baron is also a living ship! Of course, its activation level is not as high as [Black Swan]. The key ship soul is still in the embryonic stage that has not yet awakened. But even so, this ship also has some special abilities that are beyond ordinary ships. This is one of the reasons why Richard dares to confront the [Black Swan] head-on! At this time, after absorbing the blood of an unknown number of people, the color of the hull of the [Dark Red Baron] became increasingly scarlet. There was also a dark red unknown substance seeping out from the hull and deck. Like a layer of dark red armor, the entire [Dark Red Baron] was wrapped in it, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying. It looks like a warrior from the old days wearing strange armor, just looking at it is unsettling. Not only that, in the front of the ship, where the collision angle was, the dark red material condensed particularly heavily, forming a weapon that looked like a gun or a knife. It''s just that this weapon is unusually large, as if it were a weapon used by a legendary giant! It''s not hard to imagine. What an earth-shattering sight it will be when this **** spear collides with an enemy ship. After being covered with this layer of armor, the momentum of the entire [Dark Red Baron] suddenly changed. It seems to have turned into an evil ghost returning from hell, and will use the most cruel means to tear apart and devour the enemy in front of it. The changes in the [Dark Red Baron] naturally boosted the morale of all the vampires nearby, and they couldn''t help but burst into cheers. Seeing this scene, Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed, and the fighting spirit in his eyes burned like fire. Since we are going to have a head-on battle, what''s the point of crushing ordinary ships? Only this kind of extraordinary warship is qualified to be the opponent of the [Black Swan] in its first battle after its transformation! Woo As if aware of Xia En''s emotions, the [Black Swan] responded with a loud and long blast. It also showed a high fighting spirit and an extremely exciting mood. At this moment, Xia En and Xiao Hei seemed to have one mind! This increased the already incredibly fast speed of the [Black Swan] once again. The black secret power, which is like a substance, lingers around the [Black Swan]. It makes it look like a giant beast from the deep sea, launching a violent sprint among the violent wind and waves. It only takes a few breaths. The distance that had been shortening during the previous march had once again become extremely dangerous. The turbulence caused by the two ships'' galloping had already collided violently. Intersection, entanglement, fighting... Just like the aura surrounding the [Black Swan] and [Dark Red Baron]. Yes, in the current situation, not only the Mystic Path, but also the two extraordinary warships have an aura that goes beyond common sense. Moreover, as the two sides got closer, a fierce confrontation arose. This is no longer like a battle between two ships. It is more like a giant beast from the deep sea, fighting hand-to-hand with the evil spirits of hell. This moment. All the people still alive on this sea area held their breath and focused their attention on the two ships. They also want to know which side will win the final victory in this battle of extraordinary warships. Boom! ! The first thing to collide was the barrier formed by the mysterious power around the two ships. Black and red collided with each other, causing waves of waves to rise in the nearby sea. The creatures under the sea have fled this sea area early, for fear of being affected by it. The fierce aftermath also rolled up a huge wave at least ten meters high, forcing the nearest vampire warship back. Immediately afterwards, the two ships collided at a huge angle! Normally, at such a fast speed, it is almost impossible to hit the opponent''s collision angle so accurately. But under the control of Xia En and the Black Swan, the man and the ship were integrated into one, so this was not very difficult. Xia En was even able to make the [Black Swan] complete the impact at a more tricky angle, slightly tilted. There was a loud sound like a bell, and the entire sea area trembled. This is a collision of unpretentious power and secret power. It is also like two incredibly large swords, used as weapons by two giants to fight. However, the result was not what the vampires expected. It was like crushing those previous ships, directly breaking the collision angle of the [Black Swan]. Quite the opposite. After a brief stalemate, a long crack suddenly appeared on the dark red corner of the [Dark Red Baron]. Subsequently, this crack continued to spread and expand outward, and finally covered the entire collision angle like a spider web. Click...click... A dense cracking sound soon came from the collision angle. "How...how could this happen?" Richard''s eyes widened in astonishment, and a shock that had never appeared before appeared on his face. After the [Blood Killing Formation] was launched, the [Dark Red Baron] had never lost a head-on collision with other ships! But right now, the [Dark Red Baron] is at a disadvantage. Moreover, it is not an ordinary disadvantage! Because, in this collision, the collision horn of the [Black Swan] did not even show signs of fragmentation, but only a small corner was missing. This shows that the strength of the [Black Swan] is definitely several times that of the [Dark Red Baron]! But at this time, there was no time to shock Richard. Because, after smashing the dark red collision corner. The speed of the [Black Swan] only paused for a moment before it continued to collide with the [Dark Red Baron] under the influence of huge inertia. The power that such a large ship can produce after impacting at full speed is absolutely astonishing. That even exceeded most of the attacks that Xia En could perform. Just imagine the feeling of a super-heavy train crashing into it at extremely fast speeds, and you can understand the power of the Black Swan''s life-threatening collision, right? Of course, the effects of forces are reciprocal. Such an impact would also cause a strong counter-shock force to the [Black Swan], but with the current [Sturdiness] attribute of the [Black Swan], it was able to withstand such a counter-shock force. But the [Dark Red Baron] was not so lucky. The [Black Swan] was like a roaring sledgehammer. After severely smashing its ramming angle, it continued to smash into its hull. boom! ! The two ships really collided! The dark red "armor" condensed by the secret power of slaves'' blood began to shatter at the first moment of collision. Immediately, there was the inner hull, the keel supporting the hull, the more core cabin, and the vampire crew in the cabin... No matter what it is, everything that stands in front of the [Black Swan] will be crushed to pieces like this! This is absolute power! Absolute violence! From a wider perspective, the [Black Swan] is like a huge and strong nail, ruthlessly and neatly driven into the hull of the [Dark Red Baron]. Almost three-quarters of the hull was broken by this blow. Countless sailors were thrown off the deck or directly killed by the [Black Swan]. After this collision, the sinking of the [Dark Red Baron] became a matter of time. On the other hand, on the Black Swan, only the front hull had a few cracks, while other parts were completely intact. The protective shield surrounding the Black Swan struggled to withstand the aftershocks of the impact. But in fact, there was some damage inside the [Black Swan]. But compared with the tragic situation where the [Dark Red Baron] was almost "cut in half", that was really a minor injury that couldn''t be more minor. As for other people further away, even those subtle "injuries" could not be seen. People just looked at this scene in disbelief and couldn''t even say a word. No amount of words could describe the shock in their hearts at this time. No one thought that such a brutal and unreasonable collision would end with the Black Swan''s victory. Which captain would normally use a collision method to conduct a naval battle? If you do that, even if you win, your ship will be seriously damaged, leading to accidents during subsequent voyages. But [Dark Red Baron] and [Black Swan] chose this method to decide the outcome. The vampires know something about the record of the [Dark Red Baron], so they can understand why Richard did this. But the [Black Swan] not only chose the same tactic, but also directly pierced the [Dark Red Baron] under the [Blood Killing Formation] without any damage? ! How hard is that ship? As for the ships that had sailed away from this sea area before, including the [Dauntless Storm], they also more or less observed this "shock-stunning collision." There was also a similar shock. One captain couldn''t help but think: "Could it be that the [Black Swan] can really kill so many vampire warships by itself?" Even though it sounds unbelievable, it does seem possible to become a reality! at the same time. On the deck, Xia En, who had stabilized his body before the impact, did not relax. Rather, the battle really begins now! The moment Xia En had this idea, a figure wearing a blood-colored windbreaker had already arrived in front of him. "Shane" Richard had strong anger and hatred in his eyes, and he roared as if he wanted to tear Shane into pieces and swallow him. At the same time, those scarlet claws also attacked Xia En''s chest, as if they wanted to cut open his chest and grab his heart? If he had arrived at [Liu Li Island] before, Xia En might not be able to react to Richard''s attack. After all, the other party is a genuine sixth-level secret traveler! On the secret road, the gap of one level is often disappointing. But at this moment, in a flash of lightning, Shane directly grabbed Richard''s wrist. Click! That was the sound of the carpal bones of the wrist being crushed! (End of chapter) Chapter 327 Defeating Richard, the Blood Conspiracy Chapter 327 Defeat Richard, the conspiracy of the vampires "Uh-huh!" Feeling the severe pain in his wrist, Richard let out a roar from his throat, and continued to stab Shane''s chest with his other hand. At this distance, Xia En can clearly see... A slender bone blade grew out of the front of his palm, and the whole hand looked like a murder weapon. If it were allowed to pierce into flesh and blood, it would definitely cause extremely serious injuries. Moreover, with the Vampire''s ability to control blood, once Richard scratches the skin, it may cause more than just physical damage. But from the beginning, Shane had no intention of letting Richard hurt himself. Before the bone blade touched his chest, Shane had already grabbed the wrist of his hand. And, crush it into pieces as usual! Richard''s pupils shrank slightly. Catching it once can be described as a coincidence, but catching it twice in succession shows that Xia En''s reaction power and speed are both better than his! And the huge power coming from the wrist was far beyond Richard''s expectation. What''s going on? Richard was filled with shock and anger. Based on the information collected from the last battle, Xia En was clearly only a fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder. -The aura exuding from his body also proves this point. But why, no matter in terms of strength, speed, eyesight, or reflexes, this Xia En seems to have surpassed himself as a sixth-level Mystic Path user! ? Could it be that he is actually a mystic who specializes in physical enhancement, and he concealed his strength in the last battle? Although this speculation sounds far away from the truth. But it is perfectly normal for Richard to make such a judgment. After all, no one would have thought that Xia En had such a heaven-defying talent as [Captains Majesty]. It is even more unimaginable that after traveling to [Liu Li Island], Xia En relied on "Krypton Gold", strengthening and Xian Ge''s "Forging Fire Technique" to forcibly raise his physical fitness from the fifth level to far beyond the ordinary sixth level. the situation of the person. Of course, Xia En''s rank is still only fifth level, but he only has sixth level combat power. When he truly breaks through to the sixth level, his strength will still improve greatly. In fact, this is also due to the fact that the gap in combat power between the fifth and sixth levels is not too big. For example, between the fourth level and the fifth level, between the sixth level and the seventh level, it can be regarded as a watershed for those on the secret path. The former determines whether the mystic has mastered the ability of [Field]. When a sixth-level transcendent is promoted, he will complete a certain level of sublimation in life and undergo a transformation that is difficult to describe in words. There are also some people who claim that after breaking through the seventh level, the Mystics become two completely different species from their original selves. Similarly, the seventh-level promotion ritual is a prerequisite for transforming into a god. Because of this, the gap between the sixth level and the seventh level can be called a real and despairing chasm. This is also the reason why seventh-level legendary powerhouses are so rare in the Seven Seas. In contrast, there is actually no essential difference between fifth-level and sixth-level mystics. Some are just the difference in the total amount of secret power and physical strength. Although he was shocked by Shane''s display of strength, Richard was already riding a tiger with no way out. He roared again, blood welling up in the depths of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, the scarlet blood expanded outward with Richard as the center, like an exploding mist. There is a lot of filthy negative emotions in those blood, and you can feel the resentment, hatred, and anger in them without even touching them... There are also whispers quietly echoing in the blood. Just looking at this mass of blood will make a sane person feel disgusted. Obviously, this is Richard''s ability to become famous - Killing Intent Domain! Seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate. The [Great Dark Sky] condensed around him suddenly expanded and collided with the **** mist. Simply speaking, in terms of the strength of the field, [Great Dark Sky] is naturally higher than Richard''s [Killing Intent Field], and is estimated to be several times stronger. However, Richard''s domain is not simply a secret power, but also contains many strange impurities such as emotions and curses. Although [Great Dark Sky] has curbed the spread of the **** mist, some negative emotions are still transmitted to Xia En''s mind, and will also affect other crew members. As soon as they made contact, even with Xia En''s determination, a flash of blood flashed in his eyes. The killing intent in his heart kept rising, destroying his original calmness and calmness. In combat, this is never a good thing. Being driven away by your will and taking some reckless actions can easily turn into a huge flaw. This state is a bit like the "madness" of a berserker, reducing the user''s intelligence. If it lasts long enough, the intelligence can be drained directly to a level lower than that of an animal. After the intelligence is drained, even martial arts and spells cannot be used, let alone fight calmly. According to rumors, there are even worse cases where Richard turned into a monster that only knew **** in the [Killing Intent Domain]. In a sense, even if they are still alive physically, their souls are already dead. And in battle, how can people not have the intention to kill the enemy? This is the difficult part of the [Killing Intent Domain]. It only needs to amplify the murderous intention in the enemy''s heart, and it can continuously affect their sanity. Fortunately, at this moment, a melodious song sounded on the deck of the [Black Swan]. This song is as ethereal as crystal, like the sound of clear springs in the mountains. It reminds me of the summer evening breeze blowing through the window and caressing the wind chimes. Singing has the secret power to soothe the soul and cleanse the spirit. In just a dazed moment, the restlessness in Xia En''s heart calmed down. Of course, the murderous intention was still there, but it was within his control. "Good job Joey!" After praising Joey, Shane strode forward and faced Richard in front of him. At the same time as he used [Killing Intent Domain], Richard''s crushed wrist turned into blood mist with a "peng" sound. At this time, the blood mist condensed again and turned into intact hands. -The self-healing power of high-level vampires is so tyrannical. However, Richard did not realize that as his body recovered, a cold, imperceptible secret power had quietly lurked in his body... "Is this...the song of the sirens?" Soon, Richard realized the source of the voice that had shaken Shane out of his frenzy, and he couldn''t help but look surprised. "Are you kidding? Why does the siren''s song have the effect of purifying the soul?" However, Xia En had no intention of answering his question, but launched a very simple and direct attack. Wrapped in the [Great Dark Sky], Xia En, whose body was already extremely strong, was more like wearing an indestructible armor that integrated both offense and defense. It can be said that Shane is like a superman now! Extremely fast speed, great strength, and an almost indestructible body. It doesn''t even require any special abilities. Such an existence itself is a natural killer weapon. With every movement of his hand, he can cause extremely terrifying destructive power. Therefore, Xia En''s attack method has also been simplified a lot, that is... Punch! Punch! Punch again! It sounds like a normal attack, but what if each punch is powerful enough to break a mountain, and you can hit four or five punches every second? All of a sudden. Richard received a baptism like a storm! Every punch that Shane landed on him made him feel like he was running into a mountain while running at full speed. Blossoms of blood mist continued to explode and condense on Richard''s body. Even if he has pushed his self-healing ability to the extreme, there is still a vague tendency to lose his human form. It was as if the entire body was about to be blown away by such a blow. What''s even more desperate is that Richard can''t find a chance to escape from these waves of attacks. Under the suppression of the [Great Dark Sky], he felt like he was in the deep sea, being pushed down by the huge water pressure and sinking. It took a lot of effort not to sink. It is even less possible to float into the air and create distance between the two parties. On the other hand, Richard''s counterattack - the attacks of the **** dark claws and the blows of the **** whip - could only leave traces of traces on Shane''s body. It doesn''t even have the ability to create a wound! It can be said that the battle between the two was completely one-sided. This famous [Blood Killing Grip] in the Seven Seas was actually at a complete disadvantage and was beaten by Xia En! Seeing this scene, not only the surviving vampires on the [Dark Red Baron], but also the people on the [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] further away could not help but stare blankly. They had more or less contact with Xia En, but the captain gave them the impression that he was more like a gentle and harmless young man. It wasn''t until Xia En actually took action that everyone realized that this handsome man was powerful and ferocious that was inconsistent with his appearance. It''s like a wild beast in human skin! "Even [Blood Killing Grip] is no match for Captain Shane?" The Daisy siblings were no less surprised than the others. In other words, it was precisely because of his closer connection with Xia En that his performance at this time surprised the two of them even more. "So this is Captain Shane''s true strength?" "He hid it so deeply! He even deceived us." Daisy was filled with emotion. She already thought she had underestimated Xia En''s combat power, but now she realized that her estimate was still too low! Alessio sighed: "No wonder Carles chose him." After witnessing Xia En''s fighting power with his own eyes, the remaining hope in Alessio''s heart was shattered. He was certain that no matter how much time he gave himself, he might not be able to catch up with Xia En. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" "How can this guy be so strong?" In the battlefield, Richard struggled to resist Shane''s offensive, while roaring in confusion in his heart. This is completely different from the information collected before! Xia En before was clearly just an ordinary fifth-level strongman. Even if he had the means to kill a sixth-level strongman, it was only when the unlucky guy was too arrogant. As for his sister, if it hadn''t been for the ban on [Island of Sand] and Carles'' intervention, there would have been no way she would have died in Xia En''s hands. But now, the feeling that Shane gives Richard is like... Unless a legendary powerhouse comes in person, you can''t defeat it even if you try your best! How could one person have such an exaggerated increase in strength in less than a month? Richard''s thoughts were the same as those of Daisy''s brother and sister, that is - the previous Shane must have been hiding his strength! However, regardless of this fact, it cannot change the situation that Richard is in danger. Just after Shane punched Richard''s arm apart again, he finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and shouted. "Julian! Lilith! What are you waiting for?" "Still not taking action?" In fact, Richard had actually made adequate preparations for this attack. There are three sixth-level secret path practitioners like him! However, it seems that because they were shocked by Xia En''s display of strength, the remaining two people have not taken action until now. So much so that it disrupted Richard''s plan. As soon as Richard finished speaking, a man''s face suddenly appeared in the **** mist behind Shane. With a greedy smile on his face, he quietly came to Xia En''s neck and took a bite. The intention of this vampire is extremely crazy. He wants to turn Xia En into his blood slave! Boom! However, after this bite, his blood-sucking teeth not only did not pierce Xia En''s skin, but were directly shattered! Under the protection of [Great Dark Sky], it is almost impossible to penetrate Xia En''s defense in this way. boom! Immediately afterwards, Xia En punched the man''s face, turning it into a **** mist. But the next moment. Another identical face appeared in the mist. "Is your name Xia En?" "Your blood... is very sweet. If you surrender now, I will give you your first embrace." Xia En sneered: "You don''t seem to understand the current situation." "No, I know very well." The vampire named Julian smiled sadly: "You are indeed very strong." "But that''s not necessarily the case for your crew, right?" "It''s just a group of third- and fourth-level minions." "Moreover, according to the intelligence collected, you are still a very emotional person..." Compared to Richard, Julian''s character is obviously more sinister and vicious, and he is obviously the kind of guy who is not afraid to use any means to achieve his goals. "As long as we hold you off for now while our remaining companions, Lilith, capture your crew." "When the time comes, what choice will you make? It''s really curious!" "Oh no, maybe Lilith has succeeded now?" It has to be said that Julian''s words really pointed out Shane''s flaws. However, Xia En remained calm. He had confidence in his crew. Moreover, the best way to protect the crew is to crush the enemy in front of you as quickly as possible! So, he took action again without hesitation! at the same time. A female vampire named Lilian has quietly infiltrated the Black Swan. (End of chapter) Chapter 328 Im just an administrator, I dont have the power they have Chapter 328 Im just an administrator, I dont have the power they have Take advantage of the melee on the deck. Sixth-level Vampire Lilith quietly sneaked into the cabin of the [Black Swan]. There was a slightly frightened expression on her face. -The "shattering collision" just now, as well as the strength shown by Xia En against Richard, also gave her a big impact. It is precisely because of this that Lilith and Julian gave up their original plan of three people to besiege Shane and instead used this despicable strategy to win. However, no matter what the plan is, as long as it can achieve final victory, it is a good plan. Lilith also agreed with this decision to avoid the edge temporarily. No matter how strong Xia En is, there is only one person. And after all, there are three sixth-level experts on his side! This numerical advantage should naturally be taken advantage of. Lilith''s winning gaze swept around the cabin. Whether it was the intelligence obtained in advance or the aura she sensed at this time, only Xia En could threaten her on this ship. At the moment, Shane has been entangled with Richard and the two, and there is no one on this ship who can fight against him. Then of course it was time for her to go on a killing spree! "Let''s start with the white-haired siren..." Lilith''s lips curved into a sneer. As a woman, Lilith has always been jealous and hostile towards guys who are prettier than her, not to mention that the girl is still so young, at least dozens of times younger than herself. Coincidentally, Joey''s singing also has a restraining effect on Richard''s [Blood Killing Domain]. Catching her first would undoubtedly be of great help to the battle situation. "Although I can''t kill her for the time being, I can do some tricks." Lilith''s eyes were full of malice: "Perhaps... it would be a good decision to cut her cheek and completely disfigure her." While thinking this, Lilith slowly approached towards the direction where the singing came from. "Um?" Suddenly, Lilith raised her eyebrows and looked around for a moment. "It''s strange, there''s obviously no one..." I don''t know if it was Lilith''s illusion, but ever since she came to the [Black Swan], she has always felt like being watched. Moreover, there was more than one peeking gaze! It was as if there were countless people hiding in the shadows watching him and making weird whispers. "Am I too nervous?" Lilith shook her head, throwing away the ominous premonition. It''s just a ship. Even if it''s advanced, huge, and strong, what can it do without its owner to control it? But soon, Lilith felt that she seemed to be wrong. As she moved forward in the cabin, more and more peeping glances appeared around her, as if there was a large invisible net covering her body. Not only that, the secret power in Lilith''s body also seemed to be suppressed by something, and it became a little slow and difficult to operate. This symptom was as if she had unknowingly entered the realm of a strong person. And was suppressed by the field. "What the **** is going on?" Lilith couldn''t help asking such questions in her heart. However, no one could answer her questions. Even stranger things are yet to come. It was clear that the singing voice of the white-haired siren was not far from Lilith, but after walking for so long, she still couldn''t lock on to that person''s blood aura. It seemed as if there was still a very long distance between them. But the question is, this ship is so big, why haven''t we seen any living people until now? Are they all hiding? Or should I say that I have been spinning in circles from the beginning? Thinking of this possibility, Lilith began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. The dark cabin, the floors and walls that didn''t look much different, the oppressive air everywhere. Looking at the surrounding scene, a strange strange feeling was eroding Lilith''s heart little by little. The area she was in seemed to be connected to some distant and profound space. Lilith looked up and looked deep into the cabin. there Floors, walls and ceilings appear fragmented. The dark shadows of chaos and countless flickering light spots in the distance slowly undulated, turning into bizarre light and shadow illusions. They stirred silently in the depths of the cabin, lingering in whispers in the darkness. Just looking at this scene, Lilith, a sixth-level mystic who has experienced hundreds of battles, couldn''t help but feel a creepy feeling. "Something''s wrong...something''s very wrong!" Lilith''s expression suddenly changed, and a steady stream of fear arose in her heart: "What on earth is this ship?" After her expression changed several times, Lilith finally made up her mind. She wants to use violence to destroy the surrounding cabins! Although this may cause the plan to fail, at least it will allow you to survive! The interior of this ship is really a bit too evil. However, just as Lilith was activating her secret power, the light and shadow on the wall not far in front of her suddenly began to distort strangely. Lilith''s heart suddenly tightened and she looked in the direction of the wall. I saw a translucent figure wearing a witch hat and a blue dress slowly walking out of the wall. "Who are you?" Lilith''s heart was high. Normally, this ability to walk through walls is actually not very special at all. However, in this strange environment, Lilith would inevitably feel uneasy when such a translucent figure suddenly walked out. "ghost?!" After recognizing the identity of the person, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief. Although ghosts are rare in the Seven Seas, they are not something that has never appeared before. Moreover, according to the aura that Lilith sensed, this ghost was not very powerful and could even be described as "weak". After walking out of the wall, Vivian did not speak, but just stared at the uninvited guest in silence. Lilith sneered: "Ha... pretending to be a ghost!" Before he finished speaking, a blood shadow struck Vivian''s delicate body like lightning. This is just a tentative attack. But with Lilith''s sixth-level strength, such a temptation can easily kill an ordinary fourth-level mystic. However, Miss Ghost did not dodge or dodge, she just let the blood shadow draw towards her body. Before Lilith''s eyes showed a happy look of "succeeded". The blood shadow shattered with a "chi" sound, and then disappeared at an extremely fast speed. "What?" Lilith opened her eyes slightly and stared at the ghost girl in front of her. If the other party used some means to crush her attack, she wouldn''t be that surprised at all. But in Lilith''s perception, this ghost did nothing, as if... the blood shadow she inspired hit an invisible big mouth, was chewed by it, and then swallowed. "...I originally wanted to take action myself." "But now it seems that there is someone who can solve you without me..." At this moment, Vivian looked deeply into the cabin, then looked at Lilith with a little sympathy and said this. "What on earth are you talking about?" Lilith only felt that the ghost in front of her was saying some random things. After all, she is a sixth-level secret pather. When has she ever suffered such contempt! However, Vivian ignored her and just walked back into the wall as if she had never appeared before. "what the hell?" Before Lilith''s shock subsided, a steady sound of footsteps came from the cabin not far away. Tread...tap...tread... The footsteps were neither urgent nor slow, as if they were sorting the messed up bookshelf in order. Soon, Lilith saw an old woman wearing a black gauze skirt and slightly silvery hair walking towards her from the cabin. The old woman''s eyes were filled with wisdom and rationality, and her former beauty could be vaguely seen in her aging face. Lilith''s first reaction when seeing this old woman was to laugh. Such a frail, aging old woman also wants to stop herself? This is simply nonsense! But after experiencing the previous abnormal situation, Lilith finally learned a little wiser and knew that the other party was probably not as simple as it seemed. Therefore, she no longer hesitated and activated her powerful secret technique without saying a word. From the palm of her hand, a blood-red light beam as thick as the mouth of a bowl suddenly shot out, hitting the old woman''s face! The old woman also stood there and did not move. When the light beam approached her side, countless numbers and symbols suddenly emerged from the air, easily blocking the blood-colored light beam. Oh no, rather than blocking it, it was more like using some incomprehensible means to analyze and decipher it at the level of secret power. Not only that. In the blink of an eye, those things that looked like data streams continued to condense into **** spheres, and were shot back at a speed that was no worse than when they came. boom! Lilith held up a blood shield and blocked the secret bombardment with difficulty. Her mouth was bleeding and she murmured in disbelief. "This...how is this possible? Why do you use my secret technique?" "Is this difficult?" "A secret technique that can be achieved just by imitating it shouldn''t be of much value, right?" Jane said calmly, as if she had done a trivial thing. "I''m just an administrator, I don''t have the power of Captain Shane." "But...it''s no problem to deal with a small character like you." At this time, I heard Jane''s calm words with almost no emotional fluctuations, and the self-proclaimed "administrator". Lilith finally woke up, remembered something, and her expression suddenly changed. "Administrator...you are the administrator of the Federal Library!?" "But why are you on this ship?" Jane indifferently raised her cane and pointed at Lilith in front of her. "That''s not something you should know." There was a "pop" sound. After being punched in the chest, Richard spat out a mouthful of blood. There were even a few pieces of internal organs mixed in there. Normally, Richard can turn his body into blood mist to resist most physical damage. But at this time, he had consumed a lot of secret power after being broken and restored again and again, so that he could not regenerate normally. It can be seen that Richard suffered serious injuries during this period. Not only Richard, but Julian who was with him had also been pulled out of the blood mist by Shane and fell dying on the deck. Julian''s situation was even more miserable than Richard''s, with almost only one-fifth of his body left squirming with difficulty. What he just said undoubtedly touched Xia En''s inner side. Therefore, Xia En was not going to let him die so easily. "Damn it, why hasn''t Lilith shown up yet?" Julian neighed resentfully and unwillingly from his throat: "Did she abandon us and run away?" Shane put his foot on Julian''s newly regenerated part again and said lightly at the same time. "The answer is simple." "Your companion has been killed by my crew." With the bond between him and the [Black Swan], he was naturally aware of what was happening inside the cabin. The only thing that made Xia En a little confused was that Vivian, who had always been slow-witted, seemed to be planning to take action? Does she have the ability to defeat Lilith? "impossible!" Julian retorted fiercely, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw. Lilith, who has not yet appeared, is their last resort. On the other side, Richard seemed to understand the situation clearly and spoke with difficulty. "Shane, we can surrender!" "As long as you spare our lives, we can lead our vampires to help you." "By the way, aren''t you going to deal with the catastrophe in the future? We will definitely be able to play a role then." Hearing this, Xia En just sneered. "You know how to surrender now? It''s too late!" "Not only you, but all the vampires on your ship will also die!" If they were ordinary crew members on enemy ships, Xia En might even send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm] to be used as death row prisoners or slaves to squeeze out the last bit of value. But the vampire itself is an extremely unstable existence. They must draw fresh blood to survive, and ordinary animal blood is not enough. Send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Without blood as food, they will still lose their ability to move. It can be said that even as slaves, vampires are the worst and worst kind. But that''s it. Richard''s body suddenly exploded, and countless blood mist spread in all directions. Shane saw his intention at a glance. Richard wants to escape! His words of begging for mercy and surrender were probably intended to relax Xia En''s vigilance. But, unfortunately, Xia En was on guard against his escape from the very beginning. The profound touch! In an instant, the [Secret Power of the Void] hidden in the blood mist suddenly exploded. Countless tentacles of darkness emerged from the underworld, drowning the surrounding blood mist like a wave, and greedily devoured everything they encountered. Julian on the side was also included. "No...no!!" As the two screamed, the blood mist around them quickly dissipated. In the end, these two sixth-level secret pathers didnt even leave any remains behind. Then, Xia En turned to look at the other vampire ships, and once again urged the [Black Swan] to charge. (End of chapter) Chapter 329 Count the loot! Break the ice and move forward! Chapter 329 Counting the loot! Break the ice and move forward! After the vampire side lost three sixth-level combatants. The battle situation naturally fell into a one-sided situation. Although the blood clan''s warships are numerous in number, their artillery firepower is also quite fierce. But for an unreasonable warship like the [Black Swan], numerical advantage is meaningless, and it is even difficult for artillery shells to hit it! Coupled with the death of three of the strongest combatants, the morale of the Vampire Clan was already at an extremely low level. During this period, Xia En also summoned the [Diamond Star] once, devastating two vampire warships. So, it took less than ten minutes. The blood clan warships that had been approaching menacingly before were completely demoralized and fled in all directions. [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] also joined the ranks of annihilating the defeated troops. However, there are more than ten vampire warships after all, and it will take a lot of effort to make each warship incapacitated. -Xia En can''t deal with every ship, just let [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] directly hit them with their hulls. This attack method is easy to use, but it will also cause certain damage to the two ships and reduce their durability. It''s just not visible on the surface. As a captain who loves Xiaoxing and Xiaohei, Shane will only do this when necessary. Therefore, even though the speed of the [Black Swan] was far higher than that of its opponents, after successively incapacitating six or seven vampire warships, Xia En still lost the whereabouts of the other warships. Counting carefully, there are about four or five warships that took advantage of the chaos to escape from this sea area, right? But even so. This record is already considered very terrifying. In fact, except for Shane and the crew of the Black Swan, no one expected that this battle would end like this. With the two frigates being of little use, the [Black Swan] faced off against more than a dozen warships headed by the [Dark Red Baron]. Not only did he kill three sixth-level Mystics including Richard, but he also sank several vampire warships including the [Dark Red Baron]. The captains who were still staying nearby were stunned by the results of this battle. "[Black Swan]...actually won?" "Obviously it''s just a ship!" Someone retorted: "No, didn''t you see it just now? The shadow of the ghost ship appeared again!" "Could it be said that it and the [Black Swan] are actually one?" "This is too exaggerated..." After seeing the final result, the captains of some ships suddenly had special thoughts. Not only did it not leave, but it approached the direction of the [Black Swan]. They came to [Lenglie Sea] to solve the crisis of the world-destroying flood and gain more merits. And it is conceivable that there will be quite a lot of dangers along the way. Right now, Xia En and his [Black Swan] are showing extremely strong strength. These captains naturally wanted to hug this thick thigh to increase their chance of survival in the next operation. No matter which world you are in, as long as you show awesome strength and ability, people will naturally take the initiative to fawn over and cling to you. In fact, the person these captains had previously chosen to fawn over was Orlando, who was sitting on the Dauntless Storm. After witnessing this "unbelievable" naval battle, they silently left the "Dauntless Storm" and sailed towards the "Black Swan". Seeing this scene, Orlando''s face on the deck of the Fearless Storm was as gloomy as water. But there was also a hint of deeply hidden fear in Orlando''s eyes. "Damn it! He actually survived?" "That ship is so powerful..." Orlando still has some self-awareness for the time being. He knew that even he would only die when faced with the siege of the [Dark Red Baron] and numerous vampire warships. -Otherwise, he wouldn''t have left without any response even after being bombarded. But at this time, Xia En forced his way out of a desperate situation. This ability is enough to make Orlando feel strongly fearful. Moreover, Orlando also knew that he had offended the other party in the previous contact. Thinking of this, a hint of evil flashed in Orlando''s eyes, and a dark thought emerged in his mind. After such a fierce battle, the [Black Swan] was not intact. There were signs of breakage on the front collision angle, and the side of the ship was also hit by a stray bullet. It didn''t look like it was in peak condition. If he takes action now, maybe he can solve this problem once and for all? However, Orlando quickly thought of the large ship that suddenly appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and a sense of fear emerged in his heart for no reason. It was obvious that the ship was no illusion! It is a real thing and has some close connection with [Black Swan]. [Dauntless Storm] is not even sure of dealing with [Black Swan]. If we add that ghost ship, is there really any chance of winning? After some thought, Orlando gritted his teeth unwillingly, but he still could only grit his teeth unwillingly. "Let''s go!" at the same time. Xia En also gave up chasing other vampire warships and began to clean the battlefield and count the loot. This battle can be said to be the first battle between the [Black Swan] and the [Diamond Star] after their transformation. The strength and quantity of the enemy are worthy of this "first battle." Correspondingly, the report of this battle is also quite rich. Not to mention anything else, just the inventory in the space rings carried by the three sixth-level Vampires is a huge sum of money. At this time, Jane came to the deck and casually placed Lilith''s head in front of Xia En. Lilith, who had only one head left, opened her eyes wide, filled with horror, as if she had seen some extremely terrifying scene before she died. "Ms. Jane, thank you for your hard work." Shane thanked Jane. If Jane hadn''t taken action, maybe the situation would have developed into what the vampires planned. It can be said that Jane''s arrival has made up for the lack of high-end combat power on the [Black Swan], so that Xia En will not be reduced to the point where he is unable to do anything. "It''s just a little effort." Jian smiled lightly and did not take credit for this matter. "And, since I am already a crew member of the [Black Swan], this is what I should do." Her words made the other crew members feel a lot better. Originally, everyone didn''t know much about this strange old woman, but after this battle, Jane''s attitude undoubtedly showed that she would be everyone''s companion. Let people get closer naturally. But after hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. A little effort? It''s as if the sixth-level powerhouse is some kind of cabbage. Despite the fact that it seemed very easy for Shane to crush the two of them, that was because his numerical value was far higher than the two of them, and he happened to have the power of the domain to restrain them. Even in the end, in order to kill two people, Xia En had to use the [Secret Power of the Void] and [The Touch of the Deep] to suppress the situation. This shows how difficult it is to kill the sixth-level vampires. But judging from Jane''s performance, killing Lilith seemed to be just an ordinary and trivial matter. Not much more important than "What''s for dinner tonight?" Xia En couldn''t help but be curious. In a real situation, how strong can Jane be in combat? There are definitely more than six levels, so... what about legends? But right now, it is obviously not the time to delve into this issue. There are also spoils and prisoners on several warships waiting for Xia En to deal with. It didn''t take long. With the joint efforts of Xia En and the crew, they were able to squeeze out the remaining value of these vampire warships as much as possible. First of all, Xia En himself did not intend to keep any of the vampire prisoners. His original intention was to kill everyone without leaving any one behind. But at this time, several nearby captains came forward and stated that they were willing to spend some gold dragon coins to accept these prisoners of war. - Due to the difficulty of killing vampires, they are often used in some particularly dangerous situations. After thinking about it, Xia En agreed and only killed those higher-ranking vampires. After all, this can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization. As for whether these captains will fight back from the blood clan, that''s not a problem he should worry about. As for the valuable materials and secret treasures on the vampire warship, most of them were looted by Xia En. Of course, due to the limited number of people and time, Xia En''s search was very hasty and rough, and he only searched a few high-value cabins. Among them, it is worth mentioning. From the wreckage of the "Dark Baron", Shane found a special statue that looked like a heart. It was placed in the deepest part of the cabin. When it was discovered, there were several cracks on the surface, but it was still beating weakly. Obviously, this is probably the core of the [Dark Red Baron] and the reason why this ship has extraordinary qualities. For ordinary captains, this should be considered a rare secret treasure. But for Xia En, who owns the two living ships "Black Swan" and "Diamond Star", it doesn''t have much effect. Shane planned to wait for it to heal on its own before considering whether to sell it. In addition to the usual trophies, Shane also unexpectedly gained a group of slaves. Those are the survivors who served as "blood food" on several vampire warships. Some of them are crew members captured after being defeated by the vampires, and some are purchased slaves. After being rescued, these survivors were generally thin, photophobic, extremely frightened, and had many traces of cuts and bleeding all over their bodies. One can imagine the miserable treatment they encountered before. Seeing these people, Xia En''s little guilt for killing the vampires completely disappeared. For this group of slaves, Xia En plans to select a group of qualified and good-hearted slaves and send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for the construction of [Rhine City]. The rest was given to the Daisy siblings and other captains. Shane''s decision was quite rational. After all, although he is compassionate, he is not a philanthropist. In future naval battles, he will definitely accept a large number of prisoners of war and slaves, and it is impossible to send all these people to the [Rhine Secret Realm] every time. Otherwise, there would be chaos in [Rhine Secret Realm]. Trying to attract high-quality talents and controlling the proportion of slave population in [Rhineland] is the right path for the healthy development of [Rhine City]. After collecting the loot, Xia En took a rough inventory and couldn''t help but secretly clicked his tongue. The profit from this naval battle was almost one-third of his transaction amount at [Liu Li Island]. No wonder its said that there is a gold belt for murder and arson! Looting is always the fastest way to make money. In fact, the most valuable spoils of this naval battle were actually the vampire warships. Unfortunately, in the previous battle, in order to destroy their ability to move, Shane bombarded them a little too hard, causing several ships to inevitably sink. on the other hand. In an environment like the [Cold Sea], it was impossible for Xia En to take these ships to an island where they could be taken out. So Xia En had no choice but to give them up. After doing all this, Xia En no longer stayed where he was, but headed towards the sea further north. As for those captains who tried to go with him, Xia En refused without mercy. Very simple reason. Since these people were previously unwilling to fight side by side with the [Black Swan], why should Xia En provide them with unconditional asylum? Seeing this, Daisy and her brother were even more grateful that they had made the right choice before. Soon, two days passed. Everyone on the [Black Swan] could clearly feel that the surrounding air began to cool down significantly. Not only that, the number of ice floes on the sea has also begun to increase. When sailing into this sea area, you need to be careful of the icebergs hidden under the sea. If they accidentally collided with each other, [Black Swan] would probably be fine, but [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] would not be so lucky. "Mr. Captain, why do you feel that the [Cold Sea] is much colder than before?" On the deck, Joey, who was wearing a white fox fur, his little face turned red from the cold, he breathed out a burst of white air, and couldn''t help but say. "The secret power in the nearby seawater is the same, it has become cold." As a siren who has a certain amount of power over the Storm Goddess, Joey can sense the "atmosphere" or "emotion" of the sea just by being on the sea. That''s why she made such a judgment. "Is it getting cold?" Xia En calmed down for a moment and felt that Joey''s judgment was correct. Although they were accidentally teleported to the [Cold Sea] last time, they directly chose to head towards the warm south. But at this time, the temperature in this sea area was already colder than the coldest area at that time. Compared with the change of seasons. Xia En is more willing to believe that this is because some unknown changes have occurred in the Far North and even in this [Cold Sea]. Fortunately, Xia En had already prepared for the extremely cold weather. At this time, a large number of steam pipes had already been laid in the cabin of the Black Swan, behind the walls and ceiling. Just like the heaters on Earth in previous lives, it provides heating for the entire ship. However, it''s still a bit cold standing on the deck with the sea breeze blowing. In the past two days, Shane conducted a comprehensive inventory of the space rings of Richard and the others. In addition to the Vampire''s exclusive materials and secret techniques, Xia En also accidentally discovered a secret letter. A secret letter related to the Far North. (End of chapter) Chapter 330 【The wind of coldness】! The first encounter with the legend Chapter 330 [The wind of coldness]! The first encounter with the legend The sealed letter is made of red and black paper. There is a faint secret power of blood unique to the Vampire clan on it. It is not difficult to see that this is a special restriction that can only be unlocked by people who are also vampires and have a higher bloodline level. Xia En tried it and found that even his [Blood Power] couldn''t turn it on. But fortunately, he still has Fei Ya by his side. Feiya''s eyes flashed with light like burning gold, and the restriction of this secret letter was released. The secret letter recorded some information about the Far North. First of all, the severe cold weather in the Far North has become one of the important factors hindering rescue operations. Especially in the northern seas, many victims have died due to the cold. Therefore, those who master the secret path of flame ability are very popular in [Cold Sea]. Of course, there is another extreme. That is the secret pather who masters the ability of ice. As long as they can withstand the low temperature environment, they can benefit a lot from this sea area. The secret power is naturally accumulated every day, which can be called their holy land of practice. The power of the secret techniques used by Ice Mystics will also increase to a certain extent. The letter also stated that under the influence of the cold wave, the scope of the ice sheet in the Far North is gradually expanding. In the ice fields and the sea areas near the ice fields, a strange cold wind will blow. This cold wind comes and goes without a trace, without any pattern, and no one knows its cause. The ships and crew members enveloped by the cold wind will be frozen into ice sculptures in just a few seconds. Even the Mystics are no exception. There are even stories of fifth-level secret path practitioners being frozen to death by the cold wind. Wherever he went, life was cut off, everything withered, and there was only death. The first few batches of pioneers who arrived at [Leng Lie Sea] called this strange cold wind [Leng Lie Wind]. Xia En silently kept this information in mind, and then continued to look down. Due to the expansion of the ice, if a ship wants to head to the far north, it is best to need a professional icebreaker to clear the way. This was also one of the purposes of the unknown vampire writing to Richard. He hoped that Richard could bring the icebreaker and icebreaking equipment to his area as soon as possible. Seeing this, Xia En finally understood why there were a lot of ice-breaking equipment among the confiscated trophies. These Vampire warships were originally intended to deliver equipment to the Vampire army, but they were led by Richard to attack him. Even the equipment on the ship was cheaper for Xia En. It sounds a bit outrageous, but in fact, Richard''s mentality is not difficult to understand. In his opinion, it would not take much effort to deal with Xia En, who was not even at the sixth level. What does it matter if you delay the tasks assigned above for a little bit? Unfortunately, Richard never imagined that after Xia En went to [Liu Li Island], not only [Black Swan] had undergone a transformation, but his own strength had soared as a result. Not to mention, there is another Jane Vivian on the ship who is very likely to be able to rival the legendary powerhouse! This information gap caused Richard''s ambush to completely collapse, and he eventually ended up dead and shipwrecked. In addition to the above information, the letter also stated that the vampires had discovered some suspected relics of the old era [Great Yan Kingdom] on the ice sheet. Some ruins are directly exposed on the ice sheet, while other parts are frozen under the ice. Perhaps because of the extreme cold, these ruins are quite well preserved. However, there is some kind of indescribable monster wandering near the ruins, attacking any living creature that comes close to the ruins indiscriminately. These monsters usually have weird qualities and are difficult to kill with ordinary secret techniques. And the writer called them - "The undead of the old era!" Seeing this, Xia En looked thoughtful. Great Yan Kingdom old times It was only then that Xia En remembered a question that he had subconsciously ignored. How did the [Great Yan Kingdom] fall? According to the information that Xia En knows, [Great Yan Kingdom] should be one of the strongest human nations after the elves. It may even have achieved the achievement of "domesticating the mainland" for a time. Otherwise, the name of King Xin would not have spread so widely across the Seven Seas. Even Augustine regarded it as the hope of mankind and a person on whom future generations could place high hopes. Coupled with the sense of technology in [Ember Sanctuary] that was beyond the times, Xia En had reason to believe that [Great Yan Kingdom] must have had a period of heyday. So, how did such a powerful human country perish? Could it be that like other human kingdoms, they were all submerged by the flood? Xia En subconsciously thought that there must be some kind of secret in this. If King Xin had the same character as the Yan Yan he knew, and knew about the coming of the flood in advance like Augustine, he would definitely do something. Perhaps, that is the real reason for the demise of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Only by personally coming into contact with the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom, could Xia En be able to deduce a corner of the dusty history from them. Soon, Xia En saw the signature at the end of the secret letter Mueller Parsons. That was the moment Xia En saw this signature. A strange secret power suddenly emerged from this secret letter. Immediately, the entire letter quickly liquefied and concentrated, turning into a drop of red-black blood. The next moment. A cold voice came from this drop of blood. "The secret power of the blood of a strange race..." "Exceptionally ancient and extremely pure..." "It seems that you are the Fei Ya who touched the [River of Blood]." The moment this sound rang out, Xia En''s heart rang with alarm bells. Although what appeared in front of him seemed to be just a drop of blood, but even so, he felt that his life was threatened. This means that this drop of blood has the ability to kill Xia En! This aura...is a legend? Shane suddenly woke up. In this letter, Richard is the one who is ordered and instructed, which means that the writer is obviously his superior. And Richard is already a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, so naturally the writer can only be a legendary powerhouse! After thinking about this, Xia En''s hair immediately stood up, staring at the blood in front of him as if he was facing an enemy. Don''t look at it as just a drop of blood. According to legend, the legendary strong man even has the incredible ability of "rebirth with a drop of blood." Especially the owner of this drop of blood is a legendary vampire! Therefore, although Xia En''s expression did not change, he was actually very vigilant. But at this time, the attention of this drop of legendary blood obviously did not fall on Xia En. Fei Ya''s face turned slightly pale, and he felt that a line of sight was falling on him, looking at him up and down, inside and out. For just a moment, Fei Ya had the illusion that all her secrets were exposed under this gaze. "Since this secret letter has fallen into your hands, it means that Richard is dead." The voice coming out of the blood was a hoarse male voice, reminiscent of a venomous sea snake. The legendary vampire named "Mueller Parsons" was a little surprised by the failure of Richard''s ambush, but he didn''t care too much. It was as if...those of his own race were all insignificant things to him. "If you are willing to surrender, I will forgive you for your previous actions and grant you the status of a blood prince..." Mueller paused for a moment, then sneered coldly. "Did you think I would say that?" "It would be better to say that I never felt that your existence was so important." This legendary vampire showed a completely different attitude from other vampires, and said eloquently: "In my opinion, those old antiques in the family are really out of their minds." "This will put the hope of the revival of the vampire clan on a guy like you who is not a vampire at all." "The revival of the vampire family depends on the efforts of generations, and it is also the responsibility of those younger generations with potential." "It is simply a fantasy to think of just one person to achieve this goal!" "Instead of valuing you, who doesn''t consider yourself a vampire, you might as well give me more resources and support." After hearing these words, Xia En''s expression couldn''t help but be a little subtle. This is a rare smart person among the vampires. But I''m afraid... only legendary strong men are qualified to say such things, right? "However, since you have killed so many of my kin, you are also my enemy." Mueller said in a casual tone: "Then, please die." As soon as he finished speaking, the drop of sticky blood turned into a blood needle and stabbed straight into Fei Ya''s heart. The blood needle was incredibly fast. Even Xia En couldn''t keep up with it and could only watch the blood needle fly towards Feiya. Feiya also felt the fatal crisis and couldn''t help but widen her eyes. But all his methods seemed to be vulnerable to this attack from the legend. Strong despair gradually surged into my heart. Just then. A cane moved forward slightly. bite! The end of the cane flashed with silver-grey light, and countless numbers, words, symbols and blood-colored needles collided together. Immediately, indescribable secret power clashes occurred hundreds of times at the collision point, bursting out with a heart-stopping light. Finally, Jane slowly took back her cane. But her slightly pale face also showed that this confrontation was by no means so easy. At this time, the blood needle had begun to gradually break, and the sound coming from it finally sounded surprised. "This power...is the [Truth Society]? No, it seems to be mixed with something else..." "You are lucky this time, but will you have such luck next time?" Mueller cursed sinisterly. "I will always look at you, I will find you..." "Until...either I or you die!" Click! The next moment. The blood needle was completely shattered, and the sense of crisis lingering in Xia En''s heart disappeared. "Fei Ya, Jane, are you okay?" Xia En quickly looked at the two of them nervously. Feiya shook her head: "I''m fine." He also looked at Jane aside with concern, with worry in his eyes. At this time, Jane''s expression had returned to its original state and she said, "I''m fine too." "If Mueller''s true form was here, I would most likely not be his opponent." "But if it''s just a drop of blood, I can still deal with it." At the same time, other crew members also noticed the strange changes on the deck and rushed over. Joey even witnessed what happened just now and asked in shock. "Mr. Captain, that was..." "The breath of legend?" Shane nodded: "That guy''s name is Mueller Parsons. He is a truly legendary strongman." "Hiss...a true legend." Hearing this, even the crew members, who had been surprised many times, couldn''t help but secretly speechless again. Since when, the level of enemies they faced has far exceeded the level of third-level and fourth-level enemies. Not to mention three sixth-level mysticists, there is now even a legend! ? To be honest, Xia En murmured with some lingering fear after coming back to his senses. "Is this the true strength of the legendary strongman?" "It''s really scary..." Even though Xia En has learned about the power of the legendary strongman from rumors more than once, this is the first time he has experienced it in person! Even now, there is still a little cold sweat on Xia En''s back. It can be seen that this Muller brought him a sense of oppression. Without Jane''s presence, Shane could not imagine what the situation would have turned into in the end. "I''m still too weak..." Shane sighed. Mueller''s action also sounded the alarm for him. The slight sense of pride that came from defeating three sixth-level secret pathers completely disappeared. With his current strength, it can be said that he has no opponent below the level of a legend, but when he encounters a true legend, it is like there is an insurmountable barrier between him and him. No matter how hard you try, you can''t defeat it. No wonder there is a saying circulating in the Seven Seas - If its not a legend, its just an ant! "Captain Shane, I have heard of Muller''s deeds." At this time, Jane stepped forward and said to Xia En: "Muller is determined to retaliate and is extremely vengeful. He once lurked for several years just to kill someone who insulted him." "This time, I''m afraid he will hold a grudge against Shang Feiya and may leave some kind of mark on him." Soon, this guess was confirmed. I saw a cobweb-like **** mark on Feiya''s arm, exuding an ominous meaning. After Jane''s inspection, this mark did no harm to Fei Ya herself. Its only function is to help Mueller locate Feiya. It is conceivable that if Xia En brings Fei Ya near Mueller, he will be targeted by this legendary strongman immediately. "This is going to be a bit troublesome..." Xia En frowned and asked Jane, "Ms. Jane, do you have a solution to this mark?" Jane said calmly: "Even if there are enough and advanced equipment to analyze it, it will take at least two months to crack it." "Another way is to extend the distance between this mark and its owner." "The range of perception of the legendary powerhouse is also limited. As long as the distance is far enough, Mueller will not be able to detect the location of Mr. Feiya." Hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Come to think of it, Mueller wouldn''t be able to find Feiya''s location across a secret sea. Before Xia En could speak, Fei Ya took the initiative. "Captain Shane, during the next period of time, I want to retreat in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." (End of chapter) Chapter 331 The cause of the great flood! The past of King Xin! Chapter 331 The cause of the great flood! The past of King Xin! "Retreat?" Xia En glanced at Fei Ya in surprise. This seems to be the first time Feiya has made such a request. "If you are worried about the threat posed by this mark, there may be other ways to solve it..." "Mueller''s imprint is indeed an important reason." "I don''t want to burden you Captain Shane." Feiya nodded calmly and continued: "But more importantly, I found a way to communicate with [River of Blood] in Richard''s relics." "I have a hunch that if I can successfully communicate with the [River of Blood], my strength will be greatly improved." "I can even remove the mark left by Mueller on my own." Hearing this, Xia En looked thoughtful. Although many of these vampire relics are contaminated with filth and curses. But this is after all the accumulation of three sixth-level blood clans over many years, and it comes from the same source as the blood power that Fei Ya masters. - It''s like athletes of the same type suddenly receive guidance and guidance from their seniors. After Feiya digests, understands, and masters them all, she will definitely benefit greatly from them. However, this process is obviously not that short-lived. This is what Feiya means by "retreat". Xia En looked at this boy who was prettier than a girl seriously for a while, and saw determination in his eyes. From this, I understood that Feiya was not acting impulsively or on a whim, but had truly made up her mind. Obviously. After facing Mueller''s attack, it was not only Xia En who was stimulated, but also Fei Ya, whose life was hanging by a thread! He was just a hair away from dying under Mueller''s attack. He didn''t even have the ability to resist at all. And that was just a drop of Mueller''s blood. After going through hell, Fei Ya''s Buddhist mentality finally changed. Although Fei Ya originally had a need for strength, more importantly, she still had a mentality of letting nature take its course. Anyway, in Captain Shane, there are not many occasions where he is required to fight. He can then study the doctrines of the Church of Steam and various steam devices with peace of mind, and become a priest and mechanic who is indifferent to the world. But now, the vampires'' repeated pursuits made Fei Ya wake up. There are always some people in this world who don''t want him to live a peaceful life. In this case, the only option is to kill! Therefore, a strong desire for power arose in Feiya''s heart. "I see." After confirming Fei Ya''s intention, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him: "I will ask Sha Jingjing to prepare a safe place for you. If you have any needs, you can explain them to the [Yongyue Clan] in time." "For the next period of time, you can practice peacefully in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "OK." Fei Ya paused and continued: "Mr. Captain, this journey to the [Far North] is bound to be very dangerous." "Please be sure to pay attention to your safety." "And, at some point, you can also rely a little more on the other crew members." Shane nodded: "I will." Soon, after sending Fei Ya away, Xia En summoned siblings Jane and Daisy to exchange and share information with each other. As members of the Federation Navy, the Daisy siblings may know some information that they do not know. Not long after, Daisy and Alessio arrived on the deck of the [Black Swan]. To be honest, this is the first time the two of them have boarded the Black Swan. After stepping onto the deck, Daisy couldn''t help but look around on the [Black Swan], with bursts of brilliance flashing in her eyes. She didn''t think there was anything wrong with it on her own ship before, but after actually boarding the Black Swan, Daisy became more aware of how unusual this ship was. The ship''s decks, walls, sails, masts... all have a sense of unity, as if they should be there. Unlike some ships, it has an obvious splicing texture. Not only that, but the materials that make up the hull also opened the eyes of both Daisy and Daisy. This seems to be a new type of composite material, and Daisy can only recognize that it seems to contain ingredients such as [rhinestone], [mithril], and [dark gold]. Normally, the properties of these materials are already very stable, and forcibly merging them together will reduce their original efficacy. But on the [Black Swan], their integration can only be described as perfect. Not only does it take into account hardness and density, but it also fully inherits the best characteristics of various materials. "Probably, it is because of this technology that [Black Swan] can show such extraordinary performance, right?" Recalling the scene where a ship called the Black Swan charged at the Vampire warships, Daisy was still a little overwhelmed. Even the look he looked at Xia En became more and more intense. Alessio, who was beside her, noticed that during the collision with the "Dark Red Baron" two days ago, several cracks appeared in the hull of the "Black Swan". But today, when I look at it, all these cracks have disappeared, as if they had never appeared. "Is this [Black Swan]... really alive?" Alessio had also heard rumors of active ships and immediately connected the two. When his footsteps landed on the [Black Swan], he was a little cautious, as if he was worried about disturbing the soul of the ship. Its hard to imagine that when we first met, Alessio still looked like a cold and beautiful man. Xia En saw the expressions and behaviors of the two people, but didn''t say much. Rather, Xia En''s willingness to invite them to the Black Swan was a sign of trust. In the "desperate situation" where they were surrounded before, Daisy and her brother were still willing to fight side by side with him. This alone was enough for Xia En to treat the two of them with a closer attitude. It didn''t take long. Shane took Daisy and Jane to the captain''s cabin and informed them of the information in the previous secret letter. After listening, Daisy touched her smooth chin and said, "This is similar to the military information we got." "However, the federal navy seems to have conducted a more detailed investigation. They also discovered..." The ice in [the Far North] is actually rising as a whole. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Overall improvement?" "What''s the meaning?" Daisy explained: "You can understand that there seems to be an invisible force underneath the ice pushing it upward." "It is precisely for this reason that the relics of the [Great Yan Kingdom] that were originally buried in the ice will gradually come to light." After hearing this, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. "The ice is rising...could it be sea level rising?" Before coming to the [Cold Sea], Xia En had guessed what form the so-called "world-destroying flood" would take. But now, a bold conjecture emerged in his mind. Perhaps, the truth behind this world-destroying flood is that after the ice in the Far North melted, sea levels rose again, completely submerging the few islands in the world. Even if the sea level rises only one meter, it will have an impact on the ecology of the world. And if it rises by 5 or 10 meters, countless people will be displaced and their original homes will be completely submerged. However, this guess seems to be contrary to the cooling environment of the [Cold Sea]? Xia En thought to himself: "No... not necessarily..." According to the law of conservation of energy, the temperature on the surface of the [Cold Sea] is decreasing, which may mean that the heat has been transferred to other places. Moreover, the secret power of this world can do many things that go against common sense. Maybe there is some kind of force melting the ice below? Thinking of this, Xia En simply told Daisy and others his guess. "Melting glaciers... rising sea levels..." After hearing this, Daisy said: "To be honest, this possibility was also mentioned in the telegram sent by the Federal Navy today." "It''s just that no one knows yet why the ice is rising." "In the final analysis, the cause of these two major floods is still a mystery." Just then. Alessio on the side asked: "Is it related to the salary king?" "Salary King?" Not only Xia En, but Jane also frowned slightly and asked in surprise. "Why are you mentioning him suddenly?" "Oh, by the way, you don''t know yet..." Alessio explained: "Actually, the telegram also provided important information -" "The legendary King Xin seems to have reappeared in [Leng Lie Sea]!" "hiss" Jane, who had always been calm and collected, couldn''t help but take a deep breath: "How is this possible?" Alessio looked at Shane with a slightly expectant look, as if he wanted to see a look of surprise on his face. It''s a pity that Alessio is destined to be disappointed. Because Xia En knew about it from the beginning. After leaving the [Black Swan], Yan Yan''s goal was [the Far North]. And with the popularity of the name "King Xin" in the Seven Seas, it is only a matter of time before his comeback becomes known to others. However, when he heard the name from Alessio''s mouth, Shane still couldn''t help but have some complicated emotions. "Are you sure that''s the real salary king?" Jane couldn''t help but ask again: "Instead of some fake person who wants to use this name to sensationalize?" "Or is it a projection copied by some means?" Jane was obviously thinking of the "Revival Plan" of the [Truth Society], so her attitude was a bit serious. Seeing this, Daisy also solemnly said: "In the telegram, the Federal Navy has basically confirmed his identity." "It is said that there are a lot of [Black Flame Walkers] around that salary king." "They are a group of special forces who are only loyal to King Xin. Although we don''t know how they survived to this world, their existence should be able to prove King Xin''s identity." Jane murmured: "[Black Flame Walker]..." "Could it be that the former King Xin is really not dead?" Daisy and her brother understood Jane''s surprise very well. Because when the two of them learned the news, they were no less shocked than Jian Jian, and they were even more upset. In fact, this is the normal reaction of people when they hear "King Xin is still alive". Xia En''s calm attitude was not normal at all. At this time, Xia En asked Alessio: "What do you mean when you say that the world-destroying flood is related to King Xin?" Alessio hesitated for a moment and then expressed his guess. "Could it be the appearance of King Xin that caused the second world-destroying flood to come?" "After all, his ability happens to be an eternal flame. If it were him, maybe he could melt all the ice in [the Far North], right?" There was a hint of suspicion in his attitude, which made Shane frown. However, before Xia En could speak, Jane said next to him. "it''s out of the question." "There is no way King Xin would do such a thing." Alessio was puzzled: "Why?" Jane said: "You don''t know much about history, so it''s understandable that you would be so suspicious of King Xin." "But anyone who knows the past history will never have such an idea." Hearing this, even Xia En looked at Jane curiously. His trust in King Xin comes from his experience with Yan Yan. How did Jane come to this conclusion? Sure enough, Alessio asked again: "Why did Ms. Administrator say this?" Jian Yu said in astonishment: "In fact, the first world-destroying flood was stopped by King Xin." "The first world-destroying flood...stopped?" Daisy''s eyes widened in shock. This time the words were connected together, making her feel unusually strange. "Hasn''t the first great flood already arrived? It has turned the world into such an unrecognizable state." Daisy asked doubtfully: "How do you say King Xin stopped it?" Jane explained unhurriedly: "The first world-destroying flood actually did not come to our world in its complete form." "Destroy the world and destroy the world... Its true effectiveness should be far more than this." "The real world-destroying flood will probably completely destroy human civilization and submerge all the islands!" "And the reason why we still have so many islands and so many civilizational fires remaining is precisely because of the efforts of King Xin and [Great Yan Kingdom] back then." Hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but feel shocked. "You mean..." "Although King Xin failed to prevent the great flood, he greatly reduced the power of the disaster?" "Otherwise, human civilization would have been completely destroyed during the first great flood?" Jane nodded and said, "That''s right." "It was precisely to prevent the great flood that King Xin and his [Great Yan Kingdom] fell like meteors without leaving many traces on the continent." She looked at the ice sea outside the window with complicated eyes and said. "According to my speculation, the arrival of this second world-destroying flood is actually just the aftermath of the first great flood." "Aftermath..." Xia En chewed the word silently, thoughtfully. Just like an earthquake causing aftershocks again and again. The impact of that world-destroying flood that affected the whole world has not subsided to this day. Then think of those frozen glaciers and the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom under the ice. Xia En suddenly understood the meaning of Jane''s words. (End of chapter) Chapter 332 The undead of the old days! Goodbye half-dragon Nana! Chapter 332 The undead from the old era! Goodbye half-dragon Nana! perhaps [The Far North] The eternal glaciers are the product of the first great flood! This guess sounds absurd at first, but if it is connected with the history that Jane knows, the situation is completely different. Faced with the great flood sweeping the world, one of the solutions Xia En could think of was to move it to another space. The other is to contain floods to prevent them from affecting the entire world. Thinking about it now, King Xin probably chose the latter! Xia En has not forgotten the towns under the sea near [Han Iceland] that were suspected of being suddenly frozen! There must be a very close connection between the two. It can be said that the salary king of that year was successful, but not completely successful. He did weaken the power of the great flood and gave mankind some room to survive. But it failed to really prevent this disaster, and left a historical problem - In other words, this glacier will melt at some point! Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly realized. Maybe the prediction of the second great flood in the ancient document came from this. Due to his past experiences, Xia En knew that the source of the great flood was actually the alien **** [Husi Ming] from the [Secret Sea]! It is conceivable that this flood is obviously not only a natural disaster of physical nature, but also mixed with the mysterious power of external gods. It can even be called a curse against the [Seven Seas World]. Therefore, an ordinary cold wave cannot freeze it. Xia En had reason to believe that when Chu Xin Wang prevented the flood from coming, he used some kind of "sealing" method to freeze the seawater with filthy secret power into a glacier. However, the effectiveness of the "seal" will dissipate over time. After the people of the Seven Seas have lived peacefully for hundreds of years, the seal deep in the [Far North] is gradually weakening every day. It was not until today that such hidden dangers finally emerged. Glaciers began to melt and sea levels gradually rose. The owner of that ancient document may have estimated the time when the "seal" would loosen, and left the prophecy of the "second world-destroying flood". And Yan Yan''s awakening and the appearance of [Black Flame Walker] are probably not pure coincidences. As someone who personally sealed the Great Flood, Yan Yan and [Black Flame Walker] are bound to know more information. Xia En even suspected that the people who left the prophecy were the people of the Great Yan Kingdom. In order to cope with this second major flood, Xinwang most likely left behind some back-ups and designated a certain plan in the past. Otherwise, how could [Black Flame Walker] find him so accurately on the vast sea? Rather, the encounter between Xia En and Yan Yan was an unexpected surprise for them. It is estimated that neither Yan Yan nor the [Black Flame Walkers] expected that after waking up, he would be accidentally picked up by Xia En, and he would become a crew member of the [Black Swan] for a period of time. One has to lament that fate plays tricks on people. Even though there are still some doubts and uncertainties, Xia En is basically certain that this is the truth of the matter! Xia En''s thoughts that were undulating like waves gradually calmed down, and he couldn''t help but feel some respect for King Xin in his heart. At the same time, there is still a little pride - such a salary king has actually become a crew member on his own ship! Although in terms of results, King Xin did not prevent the great flood from coming. But that doesn''t mean his efforts are meaningless. Without his efforts, human civilization would have been destroyed by now! You must know that Augustine, the pirate king back then, also led a fleet to challenge [Humi Siming]. But the final result was so disappointing that even Augustine himself lost his will to fight and felt desperate. King Xin''s move was equivalent to taking the game back from [Huisi Ming]. Based on this alone, his achievements are undeniable! No wonder Jane has such a special attitude towards him. However, from those frozen towns, the only scaly claws left in history, and Yan Yan''s resistance to his own memory... It was not difficult for Xia En to guess that in order to do this, Yan Yan and [Great Yan Kingdom] probably paid a very heavy price. At the moment, there happened to be a "Walking Great Library" by his side, so Xia En simply asked Jane. "Is there any record of the reason for the demise of [Great Yan Kingdom] in history?" Jane replied: "Yes, but very little." "The only record is that [the Far North], as the source of the great flood, was the first to submerge the then powerful [Great Yan Kingdom]." "There are no other more detailed records." "This is because... people on the mainland at that time generally had serious prejudices against [the Far North] and [the Great Yan Kingdom]." Shane asked, remembering a statement he once heard. "Is it because [the Far North] was once a place of exile for sinners on the mainland?" "Yes." Jane nodded: "For this reason, people on the mainland thought that..." "[The Far North] is a land full of sin, and the blood of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] is naturally flowing with the blood of sin." "So, after learning about the demise of [Great Yan Kingdom], some people even celebrated it. There are very few people who want to find out the truth about [Great Yan Kingdom]''s demise." "What''s more, after that, the flood came quickly, and there was no time to explore the truth." Jane''s tone was slightly mocking and sad. Instead of receiving respect and gratitude, the country that saved the world was regarded as an enemy and a sin. No one even cared about its demise, leaving only a very faint trace in history. This kind of thing is really sad. Speaking of this, Jane glanced at Alessio beside her. Seeing the look in her eyes, Alessio turned red, and finally said bluntly. "I was wrong, and I apologize for my previous unfounded suspicions." "but" After hesitating for a moment, Alessio said: "People''s hearts are fickle." "Even if King Xin''s mind has not changed, his [Black Flame Walker] may have had some other ideas during this long period of time?" Hearing this, Jane raised her eyebrows, but did not refute Alessio''s speculation. "It is indeed possible, but as long as King Xin is still there, [Black Flame Walker] will not become a hindrance to our operation." From the conversation between the two, Xia En also heard a deeper meaning. After all, Alessio is still a member of the Federation Navy, and his views are likely to represent the official attitude of the Federation towards King Xin and [Black Flame Walker]. Now it seems that federal officials are still somewhat vigilant and wary. It''s normal for them to have such thoughts. No matter what, King Xin is a king from the old era and is incompatible with the modern Seven Seas Federation. Even though there are only a few followers of King Xin, if a [Great Yan Kingdom] is re-established in the [Far North], there seems to be nothing the Federation can do. In addition, King Xin is suspected of having the secret of the "Second Flood", which makes the Federation even more afraid. Jane''s stance is more in favor of King Xin. This may have something to do with the history she was reading in the big library, or her past experiences. As for Shane himself... Of course he is on Yan Yan''s side. The premise is that Yan Yan still regards himself as his captain. After exchanging information with each other. Daisy and her brother quickly said goodbye and left. In addition to the above information, Daisy also told Shane that the federation gave the personnel involved in this operation a name - Far North Expeditionary Force It is said that the main force carrying the legendary powerhouse has arrived at the core area of ??[Far North]. In comparison, the progress of Xia En and others is slow. After Daisy and the two left, Jane stopped Xia En and said seriously. "Captain Shane, there is one thing that Alessio said correctly." "In [Black Flame Walker], there are indeed some discordant voices. They have deteriorated over a long period of time and intense hatred." "Please be careful when distinguishing." Xia En murmured: "Hate...deteriorated..." He can completely understand this. In today''s Seven Seas, there is almost no trace of the [Great Yan Kingdom]. And kingdoms on the mainland such as the "Kingdom of Shuton" and the "Kingdom of Turin" have more or less left some sparks of civilization. For the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], this is equivalent to them sacrificing their own motherland and protecting other kingdoms. What makes them even more chilling is that not many people in the Seven Seas even remember the existence of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Not to mention the achievements of [Great Yan Kingdom] in saving the world. As a result, all the contributions they made, including their dead relatives and friends, seemed to be meaningless. In this case, [Black Flame Walker] may indeed do some irrational things out of hatred. So, Xia En nodded and said, "I know, I will pay careful attention." The next day. Under the speed of the [Black Swan]. In the evening of this day, an ice field composed of broken ice appeared in front of the Black Swan. This ice sheet had obviously just formed not long ago. The outer ice layer was not too thick and there were many cracks on the surface. "Captain Shane, what do we do now?" On the deck of the Breeze, Daisy asked: "If we want to get around this ice, we will probably waste at least more than a day." Xia En decisively ordered: "Go straight forward!" The ice-breaking equipment previously collected from the vampire ships came into play at this time. Xia En has already made small modifications to the [Black Swan] in the past few days. At this time, following Xia En''s driving, the [Black Swan] suddenly headed towards the ice ahead. The bow of the ship rose slightly, reaching above the ice, and then used the weight of the hull to crush the ice. The propellers installed on both sides of the ship roll in and chop the ice. Compared with driving on the sea, the progress on the ice sheet has obviously slowed down a lot. But in the face of the powerful and lasting power of the [Black Swan], it is only a matter of time before a path is opened in this ice field. Behind them, Daisy and her brother looked a little numb. However, with the [Black Swan] opening the way, they can follow safely. "Huh? Mr. Captain, that''s..." At this time, Joey suddenly noticed something and looked in a direction on the ice. I saw three ships moving slowly forward on that ice field. But unlike the clean and tidy [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu], those ships looked a bit shabby, with a kind of wild growth. Shane is no stranger to this temperament. Obviously, those are three pirate ships! Only a pirate ship can have such a rude and powerful temperament. Xia En originally wanted to stay away from these three strange pirate ships. After all, pirates are generally cruel in character, and who knows if they will attack. Even if they all bear the name of [Far North Expeditionary Force] and become nominal friendly forces, they can''t let their guard down towards the pirates. God knows if their real purpose in coming to [Lenglie Sea] is to take the opportunity to plunder? Just like the [Dark Red Baron] before, didn''t they also take action against the [Black Swan]? It is better to do less than to do more. But at this time, Xian Ge, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, was surprised. "Captain Shane, those captains seem to have the breath of dragons!" "dragon?" Shane raised his eyebrows. He noticed that Xian Ge used the word "dragon" instead of "ancient dragon." Of course there are creatures with dragon blood in the Seven Seas now. It''s just that compared with the real ancient dragons, they seem to be missing some crucial factors, so they have undergone some kind of degradation. Of course, it can''t be considered weak, but it is still a few levels behind Gu Long. Just like humans don''t regard orangutans as their own kind. Ancient dragons would not regard living dragons as their own kin. Inexplicably, Xia En remembered the half-dragon Nana he met during the promotion ritual, and became a little curious about these pirate ships with the aura of dragons. "Then go and have a look." Those three pirate ships were already in front of the [Black Swan] route. Just over ten minutes. [Black Swan] gradually approached the opponent. At this time, Xia En discovered that the three ships seemed to be temporarily docked on the ice sheet. There are also crew members walking off the deck, seemingly fighting something. Shane picked up the telescope and looked at the ice field next to the ship. I saw a strange building standing among the broken ice. It''s a bit like a palace, and a bit like a tower. But one thing is certain, its existence must be very ancient and can be traced back to those extremely distant times. And around this building, there is a strange existence that looks like an ice sculpture. Their bodies are pieced together from pieces of broken ice, barely forming a grotesque human shape. The smooth, mirror-like ice crystal face had no facial features and no expression. But it makes people instinctively feel uneasy and weird. They moved their stiff joints, spread their legs made of solid ice, and attacked the pirates one after another. "That''s...what?" Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly. What is certain is that it is no ordinary monster. Because in them, Xia En sensed a familiar, dirty secret power! Just then. A vigorous half-dragon figure broke into Xia En''s field of vision. (End of chapter) Chapter 333 Dragon Pirates! Black tide surges! Chapter 333 The Dragon Pirate Group! Black tide surges! Xia En looked familiar to this figure as vigorous as a female leopard. The dragon horns on her forehead, the scales on her body, and the thick but flexible tail behind her all proved her identity This is a half-dragon! Moreover, Xia En felt vaguely familiar from her movements. Different fighters have different fighting styles, such as the way the body exerts force and the movements of punching, there will be subtle differences. Only those with keen senses and experienced battles like Xia En can distinguish it. And in this half-dragon man, Xia En saw the shadow of an old friend. Half-dragon Nana! Xia En was still very impressed by this half-dragon he met by chance during the promotion ritual. However, in the promotion ritual, all Mysterians, including Xia En, are playing the roles in the promotion copy. Therefore, what Xia En saw at that time was not Nana''s true appearance. The figure on the ice field at this time is quite different from the half-dragon at that time. Her figure is more petite and her face is more tender. Just looking at her face, she looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with even a little baby fat on her cheeks. However, once you combine her with the solid muscles and decisive and fierce movements on her body, it is difficult to describe her as "cute". Because the appearance of the two was different, Xia En couldn''t be sure for a while. Is this girl the Nana I know? Just then. There was a "boom". I saw the half-dragon girl stepping **** the ground, immediately leaving spider web-like cracks on the ice field. Immediately, her delicate body rushed towards the nearest ice crystal monster like a cannonball, and punched out at the same time. Her punches were like thunder and lightning, and heavy as mountains, with an indescribable strange rhythm. Obviously, she has profound attainments in martial arts and combat skills. Seeing this, Xia En finally determined She is the Nana she knows! But at this time, the battle in the field is far from over. The combat power Nana displayed was much stronger than last time. She walked through the pack of wolves like a lion, crushing the monster made of ice crystals with punch after punch. The battle situation seemed to be one-sided. But in fact, it was Nana and the other pirates who were really at a disadvantage. Just because Those ice crystal monsters did not really die after being crushed! Their bodies continue to gather under the influence of some strange force, and it only takes more than ten seconds to reassemble into a new ice crystal human form. It can be said that they have the characteristics of "immortality"! Coupled with the fact that their number seemed to be increasing, Nana and the other pirates were in a difficult battle. The pirates did not want to get rid of these monsters, but their ships moved extremely slowly in the ice, and they could not escape even if they wanted to. "Damn it! What on earth is going on with these monsters?" On the ice field, Lewis, the leader of the Dragon Pirate Group, looked solemn and couldn''t help but cursed secretly. "You can''t even be beaten to death, and there are no obvious weaknesses. There are so many of them..." Ice crystal monsters will not be afraid or tired, and they can regenerate continuously. On the other hand, for the members of the pirate group, fighting in this extremely cold environment is already a big burden. Once the battle lasts longer, the balance of victory will continue to tip towards the monster. In such a short time, there were already casualties among the Dragon Pirates. This made Lewis frown deeply, and he felt a little impatient and uneasy in his heart. There are casualties when going to sea, which is a very important matter. Pirates even have a business of wearing their heads in their belts. But to die inexplicably at the hands of these ice crystal monsters of unknown origin is a bit too frustrating, right? In fact, it was just a coincidence that the dragon pirate group ran into these ice monsters. They originally just wanted to cross the ice field, but they didn''t expect to bump into ancient ruins in the ice on the way. As a result, this group of ice crystal monsters were pursued. This kind of monster seems to have great malice towards living creatures, and has no intention of communicating at all. It directly attacks when it comes up. Moreover, the weirdness of the ice crystal monster doesnt stop there. "ah!" At this time, amidst the screams, a pirate was knocked to the ground by the ice crystal monster, and soon became silent. The companions beside him couldn''t help but have sorrow in their eyes, and immediately smashed the ice crystal monster into pieces. But what surprised everyone was that after a few breaths, the pirate stood up tremblingly again. "Gawen! Gawen, are you okay?" The pirate''s friend quickly stepped forward to check on his condition. At this moment, Nana took a step forward and stopped him: "Be careful." "Something''s not right." "What''s wrong..." The pirate''s words suddenly stopped because he saw the front of the pirate named "Gavin". I saw a big hole opened in Gawen''s abdomen, and his internal organs fell out. Such serious injuries were obviously the cause of death. Under the extremely low temperature on the ice sheet, the steaming internal organs and blood had already cooled down very quickly. A layer of blood-colored ice **** appeared on the heated body surface, which looked extremely miserable. But even so, his body actually started to move! He just limped towards Nana and the others, leaving a series of **** footprints on the ice field. "What''s going on?" Seeing this scene, the pirates all looked shocked, and a chill spread across their backs. Even Gawain''s best friend during his lifetime saw the strangeness of the situation and looked at "Gawain" with fear. It was in the process of "heating" coming towards everyone. More and more ice crystals formed on his body, like living things like spores, spreading from the wound to his whole body. Eventually it covered his entire body. The expression on "Gavin''s" face also changed from the original despair and fear to an ice-like indifference. Even the shape of the facial features was gradually smoothed out by the ice crystals. The "heating" at this time is exactly the same as the ice crystal monsters surrounding it! "This kind of monster can also transform corpses into their own kind!?" Lewis''s eyes widened in astonishment, and the chill in his heart grew stronger. The ice crystal monster itself is already terrifying, and with this "infectious" quality added to it, how can we fight this battle? A touch of despair gradually emerged from Lewis''s heart. Even the captain of the pirate group is like this, let alone ordinary pirates. When they saw their former companions attacking them, the morale of the pirates instantly dropped to an extremely low level. Simply dying in battle may not be so terrible. But the thought that even if he dies, he will not be able to rest in peace, and will turn into such a weird monster wandering on the ice field, it is inevitable to feel despair. On normal days, the pirates in the pirate group would not be so negative. But for some reason, just fighting this monster seems to be constantly draining their courage. Among the crowd, Nana still maintained a strong fighting spirit and said loudly. "Don''t give up! This kind of monster must have its own weaknesses, but we haven''t found them yet." However, Nana alone was obviously unable to block the hordes of ice crystal monsters. Even because of the ice crystal monster''s special contagiousness, Nana didn''t dare to get hurt, so she seemed a little constrained. Seeing that the war situation is about to develop towards collapse. Suddenly, a melodious song came from the ice in the distance. The singing is pleasant to the ear. Everyone who hears it feels as if their souls have been washed by the waves. The negative emotions left over from the previous battle with the ice crystal monsters, along with fear, despair, timidity... all seemed to be washed away by this song. On the other hand, those ice crystal monsters actually showed different reactions during the singing. Some monsters stopped, and a bit of distortion and pain appeared on their faces made of ice crystals. Monsters like "Gawen" that have not yet been completely transformed opened their mouths and let out silent, shrill wails. When people see this scene, their first thought is - They actually hurt too? "Who is it?" Nana turned around in surprise and saw the silhouette of a majestic ship on the ice in the distance. Unlike the pirate ship, which was struggling to break through the ice and move forward slowly, this large ship was almost rolling over the ice. The thin ice seemed to be no resistance at all and was easily crushed. From a distance, the entire ship looks like a walking mountain. The majestic bow breaks through the ice in front, leaving a passable channel behind the ship. That indomitable momentum is heartbreaking. The impact of this scene was no weaker than the previous companion''s transformation into a monster. And soon, all the pirates also discovered that the strange singing was coming from the majestic ship. It seems that because of the sound of this song, the nearby sea responds in secret, and the sea water surges under the ice, as if to welcome the arrival of a certain existence. "Look! That''s..." A pirate vaguely noticed something and looked up. This caused others to do the same. Soon, people saw a small black dot appear in mid-air. Moreover, this black spot is still enlarging, as if it is approaching at an extremely fast speed. "No, that''s a person!!" The next moment. A figure fell from the sky and landed on the ice field like a meteor. He didn''t wait for everyone to see his face clearly. The man raised his right hand lightly, and the darkness like a tide suddenly expanded outward. "What kind of spell is this?" When the dark tide surged in, all the pirates changed their expressions and tried to dodge. But because the Kuroshio is so fast, no one can escape its submergence. Fortunately, the black tide did not cause any harm to their bodies and blew past them like a gust of wind. To do this, you must have the ultimate control over the secret power! "Wait a minute, this secret power... where have I seen it before?" The half-dragon Nana is also within the scope of the black tide. Moreover, unlike other pirates, she sensed a familiar smell from this secret power. "By the way, it''s in the promotion ritual!" Nana suddenly recalled that during the promotion ritual, she had personally experienced the realm of "John Smith". Although the secret powers of the two are slightly different, she can still be sure that they are the same secret power! "Could it be Captain John?" Nana''s eyes lit up as this conjecture emerged in her mind. However, it was not yet time to relax and reminisce, so Nana quickly reminded her loudly. "Captain John, these monsters cannot be killed with conventional spells! Be careful!" However, Nana''s reminder seemed unnecessary. Because, at the moment when the black tide came into contact with the ice crystal monsters, it was like countless ants had burrowed into the bodies of the monsters, and were eaten up in just a few seconds. One after another, the bodies of ice crystal monsters decomposed and collapsed in the black tide, turning into ice **** all over the ground. What surprised people even more was that these ice slags had no tendency to aggregate again, but lay quietly on the ground like ordinary crushed ice. "What''s going on?" "Can this secret technique restrain the resurrection of monsters?" "And...who is that man?" Although the pirates were relieved by the death of the ice crystal monster, they were not completely relieved. After all, the origin of this sudden ship is unknown, and the man possesses frightening power. Naturally, they would be a little frightened. Soon, the dark wave dissipated in front of everyone''s eyes, and a handsome young man walked out of it. His eyes were dark and deep, and there was a gentle smile on his lips. Just looking at his appearance might make people think he is harmless, but when you think about what he just did. Every pirate can''t help but feel a little awe in his heart. "This gentleman..." Pirate leader Lewis considered his words carefully, for fear of offending the other party. But that''s it. A fiery red figure rushed forward excitedly, smiling brightly. "Captain John, long time no see!" This move scared Lewis: "Nana, you..." Fortunately, the man smiled and said, "Nana, long time no see." "But there''s one thing I want to correct. My real name is Shane, and John is just the character I played in the promotion ritual." Hearing this, Lewis opened his eyes slightly: "Nana, do you know him?" Nana nodded as she should, "Yes." She turned to Sean and said. "Captain Shane, let me introduce to you. This is the leader of our dragon pirate group, Lewis." "By the way, he is also my brother." Shane glanced at Lewis in surprise: "Brother?" Upon closer inspection, he did have some half-dragon characteristics, but they were not as obvious as Nana''s. For example, there is no tail behind it, only a small bump on its head. After learning about the relationship between the two, Lewis obviously relaxed a lot and said. "So you are that John. After finishing the promotion ceremony, my sister often mentioned you." "I didn''t expect to see you here." Soon, he couldn''t help but asked curiously: "Captain Shane, how did you kill those monsters?" (End of chapter) Chapter 334 The soul that cannot be liberated, the power of the gods Chapter 334 The soul that cannot be freed, the power of gods "How?" Hearing this question, Xia En was a little confused. Because he just used [Great Darkness] once and crushed those ice crystal monsters. Is there anything special about this? However, Xia En also saw before that the ice crystal monsters have strong regeneration capabilities, and it is difficult to kill them with ordinary physical attacks. But why did they die so neatly under the influence of [Great Dark Sky]? Although he had some doubts in his heart, Xia En behaved calmly in front of these strangers. Gives people a sense of what it should be. Seeing this, the pirates just thought it was Xia En''s secret as a secret traveler, so they didn''t ask any more questions. at the same time. Some pirates had also recognized Xia En''s identity and whispered. "Xia En? This name sounds familiar..." "Wait a minute, isn''t this the captain of the [Black Swan]?" "Hiss... Is that the [Black Swan] that killed the [Dark Red Baron]?" Xia En couldn''t help but be a little surprised when he heard this. How long had it passed before my deeds actually reached the ears of these pirates? In fact, Xia En still underestimated the influence of his previous battle. In this era where legendary powerhouses are extremely rare, level six is ??already the ceiling for ordinary mystics. In the naval battle between Shane and Richard, at least four sixth-level powerhouses appeared, and more than ten ships participated in the battle! A naval battle of this scale, at the time when the expeditionary force was setting off, naturally attracted a lot of attention. -The captains and sailors who teleported to the [Cold Sea] with Xia En became the spreaders of rumors. "We heard about this from the captain of a warship we met by chance before." Sensing Xia En''s gaze, Lewis simply took the initiative to speak. "It is said that the legendary strongman of the Vampire Clan was furious because of the defeat in this battle. He originally wanted to arrest the [Black Swan] and Captain Shane!" This legend obviously refers to Mueller of the Vampire Clan. However, when he heard the word "wanted", Xia En''s heart did not waver, and he even wanted to laugh a little. Strictly speaking, the previous joint arrest warrants from several vampire islands are now still hanging on Xia En''s head! There are too many lice and they are not itchy. Anyway, even if there is no wanted wanted, Xia En and the vampires are already incompatible with each other. Whether he is wanted or not, it doesn''t matter. But Shane noticed that Lewis used the word "originally". Could there be any changes in this? Before he could ask, Lewis explained. "However, the Federation Navy is quite dissatisfied with the Blood Tribe''s actions and has solemnly ordered the Blood Tribe not to allow anything like this to happen again." "This has given up the idea of ??the vampire clan wanting you." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized. It turned out to be the influence of federal officials. If you think about it carefully, the Federation is calling on all forces to form a "Far North Expeditionary Force" and is willing to absorb pirates at sea at the cost of eliminating wanted orders. As a result, not long after the call was made, our own people started fighting among themselves. Isn''t this a slap in their face? Federal officials will certainly not care about small-scale frictions and disputes. But the battle between Xia En and the Blood Tribe aroused widespread discussion. The negative impact on the expeditionary force is immeasurable. This forced federal officials to intervene. Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Federation, it is obviously more stringent towards the vampires. On the one hand, it was because this naval battle was initiated by the vampires. On the other hand, federal officials actually know about the vampire''s urinary nature. If they are not restrained, similar things may happen again. While understanding the situation a little bit. [Black Swan] has gradually approached Xia En and others. Seeing the shadow cast from above, the pirates couldn''t help but let out low exclamations. After observing this large ship at close range, they could more clearly and intuitively feel the majesty and extraordinaryness of this ship. Regardless of the size, style, hull material, or the momentum of the entire ship, it far exceeded their own ships. Comparing the pirates'' [Dragon] and [Black Swan], it seems like they are behind an era! "What a nice ship!" Lewis couldn''t help but admire: "It is indeed the legendary [Black Swan]!" Shane was no stranger to the pirates'' looks. Once upon a time, he had expressed similar emotions towards the Duke and Viper, and he felt a strong sense of envy in his heart. But now, time has passed, and the Black Swan, which was small and broken in the past, has grown into the behemoth it is today. Instead, it was Shane''s turn to be envied by the other captains. Soon, An Hexiange flew down from the deck and came to Xia En. At this time, Xian Ge maintained a state of mimicry, wearing a thick winter-proof cotton coat, wrapped tightly, like a large caterpillar. Even so, the moment she appeared, the pirates of the [Dragon Pirate Group] couldn''t help but focus on her. From her body, they felt a powerful, ancient and familiar power of blood. The reason why [Dragon Pirate Group] is called this is of course not without purpose. In fact, most of the members of this pirate group have more or less dragon blood. Of course, the dragon here does not necessarily refer to the ancient dragon. Some are mostly degenerated sub-dragons, while others are the bloodline left over from the cross between ancient dragons and other creatures. During the heyday of the [Dragon Pirate Group], they even directly raised a sub-dragon! Its just that its not convenient to bring them with me on this trip to [the Far North]. From this we can also see the close connection between the [Dragon Pirate Group] and dragons. Because of this, the pirates couldn''t understand why they felt an unusually strong pressure from this girl. Even...I have the urge to worship her! If she also has dragon blood in her body, how high will the blood level be? Even Lewis trembled in his heart and looked at Xian Ge in surprise. "Captain Shane, who is she?" Feeling everyone''s gaze, Xian Ge didn''t show any stage fright, puffed up her chest and said. "I am the great Qing...ahem!" After Xia En glanced at her, Xian Ge coughed twice, but at least his true identity was not revealed. Nana looked at Xian Ge with a surprised look on her face: "It smells good, what a powerful aura, just like Captain Xia En!" "Are you Captain Shane''s daughter?" "If I mate with him, can I give birth to a child as strong as you?" Hearing this, Lewis had black lines on his head and quickly apologized to Xia En. "Captain Shane, please don''t be offended if my sister is ignorant and talks nonsense." The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer. Unexpectedly, Nana was unhappy when she heard this and said, "I''m not talking nonsense!" "I''m serious, bro, don''t you keep urging me to find a man?" "I think Captain Shane is very suitable!" "you?" At this time, Xian Ge looked Nana up and down: "As for you, at best you can be Mr. Captain''s seventh wife!" Xia En''s eyelids jumped: "Where can I get seven wives?" Xian Ge was greatly surprised: "Eh? No, let me count them carefully..." "Sister Joy, little sister Sha Jingjing..." "Stop, stop, stop." Seeing that the topic was getting more and more crooked, Xia En quickly interrupted Xian Ge and turned to look at Lewis. "Captain Lewis, how did you encounter that weird ice crystal monster before?" Lewis smiled bitterly: "Actually, it was just an accident..." Soon, Lewis roughly recounted his experience of accidentally crashing into the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom and being besieged by monsters. After listening, Xia En couldn''t help but glance at him with sympathy. I don''t know if I am lucky or unlucky to be able to hit the ruins in the ice so accurately. But...relics? Xia En turned to look at the ancient ruins whose style was completely different from modern buildings, and he felt a little curious. [Great Yan Kingdom] has too many secrets, buried in the dust of history. Why was [Great Yan Kingdom] destroyed? Why did King Xin freeze the town? Why do those ice crystal monsters carry the power of [Husi Ming]? These doubts have been lingering in Xia En''s mind for a long time, and even a knowledgeable scholar like Jane can only pry out some clues. Perhaps, in this ruins, Shane can find the answer he wants? Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes flashed and he walked towards the strange tower-shaped building. "Captain Shane, what do you think?" Lewis looked at Shane''s movements and immediately understood his intention. However, Lewis did not try to persuade him, because he knew that he could not change Xia En''s decision, so he only gave a kind reminder. "Captain Shane, please be careful." "There should be many ice crystal monsters from before in that ruins." Shane nodded and said, "I will." Since he wanted to explore the ruins, Xia En would not go in alone. Instead, he waited until Joey and Jane were in place before slowly approaching the ruins. After getting closer, Xia En discovered that the material of this building looked very smooth and hard, with a gray-black appearance. The overall style is actually somewhat similar to the [Federal Grand Library]. Simple and direct, no unnecessary patterns. Pay more attention to practicality than beauty. In fact, more than half of the entire ruins is located in the ice, and only a small part of it is exposed above the ice sheet. At this time, a hole opened in the corner of the building, like a big mouth, quietly waiting for people to fall into the trap. The previous ice crystal monster emerged from here. Shane looked back behind him. In addition to his own crew, Daisy and Nana also volunteered to join this "exploration operation." It just so happens that it will take some time for the [Black Swan] to break through the ice, so you can use this time to explore the ruins. Not long after. Xia En walked into the cave cautiously, and a cold air hit his face. The temperature inside this ruins is actually colder than outside. This is actually quite unusual. Click... click! Before Xia En could think deeply about this point, he suddenly heard a subtle movement in his ears. He didn''t hesitate and took half a step back. With a "bang", a humanoid monster made of ice crystals jumped into the air and hit the spot where Xia En was standing. The force of the impact was not small at all, leaving a shallow crater on the ground. A small part of the ice crystal monster''s head was also smashed. But in the blink of an eye, its broken head adhered and came together in a strange manner, and finally returned to its complete form. During this process, Shane noticed that the inside of the ice crystal monster''s head did not have any structure that a living creature should have. It''s like...it''s just an empty shell shaped by simulation! But for some reason, Xia En felt an indescribable activity from those broken ice crystals. It seemed that in every broken ice crystal, there was a soul wailing in pain and misery. "This is" Xia En frowned slightly. He didn''t observe carefully when he used [Great Dark Sky] to sweep away the monsters. Now, Xia En suddenly realized that these ice crystal monsters themselves seemed to be a blasphemous product that should not exist in the world. "Are ordinary physical attacks really ineffective?" "So, try magic?" Soon, Joey released a small fireball technique and hit the ice crystal monster. The ice crystals melted in an instant. However, after the fireball spell dissipated, ice crystals condensed on the ground after a while. Four or five minutes later, an identical ice crystal monster was regenerated. Seeing this scene, not only Xia En, but also Joey and Jane frowned. "Mr. Captain." Joey hesitated and said, "It gives me a very uncomfortable feeling." "I felt filth and pain from it, like... something was trapped inside it." "Your feeling is right." At this time, Jane took over Joey''s words and said, "If I read correctly, there is a human soul imprisoned in the body of this monster." "The human soul?" Hearing this, Xia En was horrified: "You mean..." Jane nodded and said: "Yes, they were probably the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] originally." "Their physical bodies have long since died, but their souls are imprisoned in this special creation, enduring despair and suffering day after day without being able to escape." "Even if they are cut into the smallest particles, they will still regenerate in this form." After learning this information, everyone present felt a creepy feeling. Thousands of years have passed since the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Thousands of years of time and endless suffering. Just imagining this kind of pain makes one''s scalp numb. Daisy asked in confusion: "Who on earth could do such a thing?" "Not a man, but a god." An answer came to Xia En''s mind. The filthy secret power of the ice crystal monster is enough to prove the initiator of this matter. Xia En quickly thought of another question: "But, since ordinary spells cannot destroy such monsters, why can [Great Dark Sky] kill them completely?" After Jane thought about it, he gave Xia En a meaningful look. "Only the power of gods can fight against gods..." (End of chapter) Chapter 335 【Ember Shelter】【Mysterious Ice Coffin】 Chapter 335 [Ember Shelter] [Mysterious Ice Coffin] "...Only the power of the gods can fight against the gods?" Shane repeated Jane''s words with a slightly strange expression. Technically speaking, he doesn''t really believe in any god. Whether it is [Lord of Radiance] or [Lord of Darkness], they are only related by chance. As for the conventional beliefs of the Seven Seas, such as [Storm Goddess] and [God of Steam and Steel], Xia En has only been exposed to them from his own crew members. so The "power of gods" in Jane''s words refers to the [Great Dark Sky] itself? But this kind of power was clearly understood by Xia En through his own efforts. How could it be related to gods? Or, what "gods" Jane refers to is... Shane shook his head and got rid of the ridiculous thoughts in his mind. Next to him, Joey heard Jane''s words and thought: "Is it the power of gods? Let me give it a try." After that, Joey softly chanted a mysterious ancient spell. At the same time, the divine temperament on her body became more and more obvious, and her fair little face had a faint holy light. "Huh? This kind of breath..." Lewis and Nana of the [Dragon Pirate Group] couldnt help but change their expressions. As pirates who ventured on the sea, of course they came into contact with the Deep Sea Church that believed in the Storm Goddess. Basically every time before going to sea, Lewis would go to the church of the Deep Sea Church to pray. It can be said that they are all potential believers of the Storm Goddess. They at least hope to return safely under the protection of the Storm Goddess. However, at this time, as the chanting continued, the expression on Joey''s face became more and more similar to the statue of the Storm Goddess. Standing in front of her, Lewis even felt like... standing in front of the Statue of the Storm Goddess! "Is she the ship''s chaplain on the Black Swan?" "By the way, her voice...that singing voice before was also her handiwork!" Lewis suddenly recalled the singing just now, and couldn''t help but be secretly frightened. The [Dragon Pirate Group] is now in decline, but there was still a period of prosperity in the past, and there were even legendary strongmen. Therefore, as the current leader of the [Dragon Pirate Group], Lewis is still a little proud. After meeting his counterpart [Black Swan], Lewis inevitably had some thoughts of comparison. However, Lewis was shocked by the little girl Xian Ge who appeared earlier. The methods and temperament displayed by Joey right now are even more extraordinary. As for the rational and wise old woman next to him wearing a black gauze skirt, Lewis couldn''t see through it at all! "There is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon on board the [Black Swan]..." Lewis sighed in his heart, glanced at his sister worriedly, and was not optimistic about her ideas. Nana is already considered extremely talented in the [Dragon Pirate Group], and her strength has improved extremely quickly. But if you go to the [Black Swan], it will probably seem ordinary. But at this time, Nana didn''t think so much at all. She just looked at the process of Joey casting the spell with a look of surprise. I saw an invisible wave surging in the air, rushing towards the ice crystal monster that had lost its ability to move. The moment it came into contact with the invisible waves, the body of the ice crystal monster suddenly stiffened. Visible to the naked eye, the polymerization speed of the broken ice crystals began to slow down. Not only that, a strange change occurred on the smooth face of the ice crystal monster. Those ice crystals changed and squirmed like flesh and blood, and finally a human face emerged. "Um?" Xia En frowned and stared at this face. It can be seen that this is an ordinary-looking adult man. His facial features made of ice crystals are twisted together, making him look extremely ferocious. Then, it opened its empty mouth and let out a silent wail. Despair and pain intertwined on its face. Just looking at this scene, everyone seemed to understand the suffering he had endured for thousands of years. "These monsters are actually transformed from the residents of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" Daisy opened her eyes wide and murmured: "This kind of torture is simply more cruel than any torture." Alessio also showed a look of intolerance in his eyes and said angrily. "Why would that person do such a thing? It''s really unforgivable!" It''s a pity that it''s not humans who do this kind of thing, but gods! Xia En buried these words silently in his heart, and at the same time observed the changes of the ice crystal monster in more detail. In his perception, as he came into contact with Joey''s divine secret power, the filthy secret power in the ice crystal monster seemed to be decreasing. Obviously, that is the manifestation of [Hui Siming]''s power being eliminated. This is probably what Jian said, "Only the power of the gods can defeat the gods." Thinking about it, if Feiya was here, she could use the steam magic blessed by the [God of Steam and Steel] to purify this filthy power. Although [Ultimate Siming] is an alien **** from the [Secret Sea], his status seems to be slightly higher than that of the local gods. But this is the [Seven Seas World] after all, and the local gods should still be able to compete with each other in terms of secret power. However, it will obviously take some time for Joey to completely eliminate the power of [Husi Ming] and kill this ice crystal monster. It was in sharp contrast to the situation where Xia En easily crushed them to death. Realizing this, Xia En once again became strongly curious about the fact that he could completely kill the ice crystal monster. suddenly. An idea popped into Shane''s mind. After all, what is the difference between the power of gods and the power of ordinary mystics? When Xia En thought about it, the difference between the two probably lies in... level! The level of the power of the gods is far higher than that of the ordinary secret power, so at the same level, the ordinary secret power cannot compete with the power of the gods. An inappropriate metaphor. If we say that ordinary secret power can break a big stone and change its physical properties. Then the secret power of the gods can directly turn a big rock into a pile of ice cubes, and directly change a thing on a smaller level. This is the difference between the two! This is why ice crystal monsters that are shattered by fists, kicks or ordinary spells will be reborn again and again. Because ordinary secret power cannot destroy the filthy divine power in the monster''s body, and only the outer body is destroyed. The fundamental reason why Xia En can kill them is obviously... [Secret Power of the Void]! In the last promotion ritual, the test that Xia En underwent was to complete the transformation of his secret power and thereby break through the [World Barrier] around him. That promotion can be said to be Xia En''s most dangerous experience. Fortunately, in the end, Xia En was successfully promoted and mastered the powerful and unique power of [Secret Power of the Void]. Able to imitate and assimilate most secret powers in the world; Faintly transcending the world of the Seven Seas; Even if you are lurking in the enemy''s body, you won''t notice... These characteristics have already proven the extraordinary power of [Secret Power of the Void]. It can even be said that [Secret Power of the Void] already has the prototype of the power of a god! Only this can compete with the filthy divine power. After thinking about this, Xia En suddenly became enlightened and many of his doubts were answered. He thought of another question - Since the level of the god''s secret power must be higher than the ordinary secret power. So, does it mean that the sublimation of secret power is also one of the prerequisites for becoming a god? Before Xia En could continue to think deeply, the ice crystal figure in front of him changed again. As the filthy secret power dissipated, the face of the ice crystal humanoid became more concrete, and some human emotions finally appeared on that face. It was as if the rationality that had been lost for many years finally returned to this body temporarily. Seeing this, Nana was surprised and said: "He seems to want to say something!" The ice-crystallized man opened his mouth. Although he didn''t make any sound, everyone could vaguely understand his words through lip reading. He is saying... [Please...kill me! Everyone couldn''t help but fell silent. For these souls imprisoned in the bodies of ice crystal monsters, the long years have long caused alienation between their minds and bodies. Even if the remaining filthy secret power is eliminated, they cannot return to normal. In other words, the souls of these people have long been integrated with the filthy secret power, and they are no longer distinguishable from each other. Only death can bring them true relief. However, with Joey''s use of the power of the storm, he cannot directly kill this ice crystal monster in a short time. So, Xia En took a step forward and gently tapped the man''s forehead. [Secret Power of the Void] easily seeped into the cracked ice crystals and quickly spread throughout the man''s body, erasing the remaining filthy secret power along with his soul. Click...click... As the ice crystals shattered, the man''s face showed a look of relief and relief. He opened his mouth again and mouthed the words. "Thanks" The next moment. The ice crystals were scattered all over the place and showed no signs of coming together again. However, instead of becoming relaxed, the atmosphere among everyone became even heavier. People are vaguely aware that the truth and blood and tears buried under this ruin may be beyond their expectations. After a while, it was Xia En who spoke first. "let''s go." Led by Xia En, the group began to walk deeper into the ruins. After taking a closer look inside the building, Xia En discovered that its structure was very different from what he had previously thought. The building does take on the shape of a tall tower, but it is an inverted spire. The area becomes narrower as you go down, and the whole area looks like a wedge embedded in the ice. This structure is actually very unreasonable. It is difficult to imagine how it would stand on the ground without ice. But with the ice layer made of solid ice, the inverted spire is firmly embedded in the ice layer. "Could it be that... when they were building this kind of spire, they thought that there would be a freezing event?" A guess suddenly popped up in Xia En''s mind and he thought to himself. "In other words, this place is actually a shelter prepared by [Great Yan Kingdom] for civilians?" "But why did the people in this shelter turn into such ice crystal monsters?" Soon, as the group moved forward, what they saw along the way also confirmed Xia En''s guess. The walls and ceiling of the lower level of the ruins are actually very similar to the materials Xia En saw in the [Ember Treasure], also known as the [Ember Shelter]. It also reveals an indescribable sense of technology. "What kind of material is this wall made of? I''m curious..." Daisy touched the silver-gray wall next to her in surprise. The touch from her fingertips was cold and hard, which seemed to contain a unique secret power. She couldn''t help but sigh. "...It doesn''t look like a product of our world." The knowledgeable Jane explained: "It is said that the salary king of that year seemed to have received an extremely rich inheritance from another [Secret Realm] with a very high level of technology." "The technological level of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] has grown rapidly, far exceeding that of other kingdoms at that time." "This special wall should be the product of that advanced technology." Hearing this, Xia En was also a little surprised. A ship with an old age is like a treasure! Secrets like this would not be so easy to know unless Xia En personally went through the books in the [Federal Library]. On second thought, it was the same. Since Jane knew the transmission ritual between [secret realms], federal officials also found the entrances to other [secret realms]. It shows that from a long time ago, the Secret Pathers began to research and explore the [Secret Realm]. It is not particularly strange that King Xin could obtain a [Secret Realm] inheritance by chance. And this can also explain why [Great Yan Kingdom] could become the most powerful country in the world at that time in just a few decades. "So that''s it." Alessio nodded, but soon his eyes were drawn to a nearby room with an open door. "This is" Xia En and others looked into the room and couldn''t help being slightly surprised. The inside of this room is a quite spacious space, with a large piece of land that looks like farmland covered by a glass cover. Those fields should have been planted with various crops, but now there was only a cold desolation. Seeing this scene, Xia En felt enlightened. Unlike [Ember Shelter], this shelter also has fields for self-sufficiency. It can be seen that this shelter is probably more complete than the [Ember Shelter]. Unfortunately, they didn''t seem to work as well as they should have in the end. What I saw and heard after that also illustrates this point. In addition to the "growing room", Xia En also saw a space used for entertainment and fitness, and a room for storing books. All this shows that the shelter was designed to survive inside for a long time. Compared with this place, the former [Ember Shelter] looked like a half-finished product that had been built in a hurry. On the way, everyone also encountered some ice crystal monsters again. But with Shane present, these monsters didn''t pose much of a threat. Xia Endu granted them merciful relief. "Do you feel like it''s getting colder around here?" At this time, Joey let out a breath of white air and asked a little strangely. "really" Daisy nodded: "And for some reason, I always feel uneasy." Not only them, Xia En also noticed that there seemed to be something dangerous deep in the spire. And soon, when they reached the last level of the inverted minaret. In front of everyone''s eyes, a smooth and hard ice coffin appeared. A beautiful woman is lying peacefully in the ice coffin... (End of chapter) Chapter 336 【Princess of Dayan】【Black Flame Walker】 Chapter 336 [Princess Dayan] [Black Flame Walker] A dark and deep underground spire. The air is filled with a chill that comes from nowhere, and the metallic silver-gray walls and floors add to the icy atmosphere. Even Xia En and the others, who had experienced many battles, could not help but look solemn and feel some inexplicable uneasiness in their hearts when they walked into the last floor of the shelter. And when everyone raised their heads, they saw... An ice coffin stands in the empty and spacious hall. And the woman who seemed to be sleeping in the ice coffin. "That''s..." Joey couldn''t help holding his breath and looked at the woman in the ice coffin. Unlike those monsters that have turned into ice crystals, this woman''s appearance is lifelike, and her skin is no different from that of a living person. It was as if...she just fell into a sweet dream and would wake up at any time. Her appearance was exquisite and flawless, and she had a certain noble and aloof bearing. Her long jet black hair lay like ink on the bottom of the coffin, and she wore a gorgeous red and black palace dress, which highlighted the elegance of the woman. When he saw the woman in the ice coffin, Xia En instantly understood where the dangerous omen he had sensed earlier came from. Not only that, most of the icy cold air that filled the inverted minaret emanated from the ice coffin. "Who is she?" Daisy said in surprise: "Why are you at the bottom of this ruins?" Unlike outsiders who were completely at a loss, Joey and Ann soon discovered something that shocked them - Although the woman in the ice coffin was a stranger, the mysterious ice coffin she was in unexpectedly gave them a feeling of dj vu. Joey murmured: "Mr. Captain, that ice coffin looks like Miss Vivian''s crystal coffin!" Shane''s eyes narrowed slightly. Of course he discovered this immediately. Moreover, Xia En also saw that the two were not only similar in appearance and style, but also similar in temperament and atmosphere. As if carved from the same mold. However, after observing carefully for a moment, Xia En discovered that the aura of this ice coffin did not seem to be as strong as Vivian''s crystal coffin. If I had to say it, it would be like... Is this ice coffin an imitation of Vivian''s crystal coffin? However, this is just a sudden conjecture by Xia En, and there is no evidence to prove it. Beside, Jane also frowned slightly. These days, she and Vivian have naturally had a lot of contact - the name "Vivian" alone is enough to arouse Jane''s strong curiosity. However, in addition to confirming that Vivian was suspected of being an elf during her lifetime, and must have some kind of close connection with the elf. Even Jane, who is knowledgeable, has difficulty getting more information. It can even be said that Vivian seems to have more secrets and clouds than she does! After visiting Vivian''s crystal coffin, Jane was keenly aware that there was a crucial secret hidden in that crystal coffin! But what exactly that secret is, Jane still doesnt know. Therefore, when she saw this ice coffin, which seemed to be a replica of a crystal coffin, Jane fell into deep thought. Honestly. The scene in front of me at this time was very strange, as if I had mistakenly entered the set of a horror movie or the BOSS room in a game. Lewis, Nana, and Daisy siblings could not help but express their strong uneasiness. Lewis had also heard tragic rumors about a captain who accidentally opened the seal of some strange existence while exploring ancient ruins, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army. So, after hesitating for a moment, Lewis reminded him. "Captain Shane, that ice coffin seems very dangerous. It''s best not to touch it, right?" Hearing this, Xia En naturally understood what Lewis was worried about. He touched his chin and was thinking about whether to take the risk and touch the ice coffin. Judging from the sense of danger she sensed, the sleeping woman''s strength was definitely extraordinary and certainly not comparable to the previous ice crystal monster. However, with Jane by his side, he is not without the ability to deal with danger. And if this girl can be awakened, perhaps she can naturally learn the secrets of the past of [Great Yan Kingdom] from her mouth. Maybe we can also learn some secrets about Vivian... The thoughts in Xia En''s heart were ups and downs, weighing the pros and cons. But after a moment, Xia En sighed and finally decided to give up on opening the ice coffin. It''s not because he''s afraid of the dangers of opening the ice coffin. But because... Xia En noticed that the ice coffin and the black-haired woman inside were in an extremely strange state. This ice coffin is both a seal and a protection, allowing her to continue to survive in this state. If it is opened forcibly rashly, it may destroy the original balance, cause irreversible damage to the woman, and even cause her to die. There was no enmity between Xia En and her, so there was no need to disturb her sleep out of curiosity. Thinking of this, Xia En said without hesitation. "Let''s go and let her continue to sleep peacefully." Although Daisy and others were a little surprised, Xia En was now the backbone of the group, and no one expressed any objection to this. However, just when everyone was preparing to evacuate this underground ruins. Three or five black shadows quietly appeared in the corner of the hall and quickly approached the ice coffin in the center. "Who!?" Xia En raised his eyebrows suddenly and looked in the direction where the black shadow appeared in surprise. From just now to now, even he has not noticed the existence of these black shadows at all. These people seemed to appear out of nowhere. This kind of hiding ability even surprised Xia En. These black figures ignored Xia En''s questions and continued to rush towards the location of the ice coffin. laugh! laugh! laugh! Suddenly, a storm of ice needles shot out from above the hall and from the floor. Following a brief cry of pain, a black shadow was shot into a sieve by ice needles and fell to the ground helplessly. At this time, Xia En and others saw clearly that these black figures were clearly people wearing black robes. There are dark red lines on those black robes, forming different patterns. And this kind of strange black robe, Xia En had seen it in the past [City of Giant Woods]! Among the people who participated in the [Congress of All Nations], there were envoys from the [Great Yan Kingdom]. This kind of black robe is one of the characteristics of that group of [Black Flame Walkers]! In other words, these black-robed men are all [Black Flame Walkers]? But why do they want to get close to the ice coffin? Do they want to rescue the woman in the ice coffin, or... kill her? For a time, many doubts flashed through Xia En''s mind. But at the moment, the enemy of this group of [Black Flame Walkers] is unclear, and their purpose is unclear. He cannot take action directly and hastily. He can just watch their actions calmly. After the death of one of his companions, the remaining [Black Flame Walker] did not pause at all, but instead accelerated its pace. The speed of one of them suddenly increased sharply, and at the same time, a ball of black flame ignited in the palm of his hand, and he shot directly towards the ice coffin. Seeing this scene, Xia En was finally sure that this group of [Black Flame Walkers] wanted to destroy the ice coffin and the woman in it! But can they do it? The moment the black flame was about to touch the ice coffin. An extremely violent cold air suddenly emerged from nowhere, freezing the man and the flame in his hand. In just an instant, a lifelike ice sculpture appeared in front of everyone. "This ice coffin is really not that simple!" Xia En thought to himself. He had guessed before that this ice coffin seemed to have no protection, but since it could exist for hundreds of years in the presence of dense ice crystal monsters, it was enough to show that it must have a certain ability to protect itself. This was one of the reasons why Shane finally chose to evacuate. At this time, Xia En and others were not injured by the ice coffin, but these [Black Flame Walkers] helped them step on the thunder. However, the remaining [Black Flame Walkers] still did not give up. The body of one of them suddenly exploded with extremely violent black flames, as if he had been ignited into a torch, and he rushed towards the ice coffin regardless of his own safety. The temperature of that black flame is quite high, and even the extremely cold air released by the ice coffin cannot extinguish it instantly. The two are temporarily in a stalemate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the last [Black Flame Walker] roared, flashed like a ghost, and came behind the ice coffin. He seemed to be holding a dark dagger in his hand, and he stabbed the woman in the ice coffin. "Hisoka! Stop!" At this moment, another sullen voice suddenly came from the direction of the entrance to the hall. Xia En turned around and saw another [Black Flame Walker] wearing red and black robes appeared there. However, judging from the figure and voice, this [Black Flame Walker] seems to be a woman. Moreover, listening to these words, she seems to have different purposes from the previous [Black Flame Walkers]? However, this has nothing to do with Xia En and others. By this time, they had become bystanders who stumbled into the incident. Doing nothing and watching the situation develop is undoubtedly the best choice. What surprised Xia En was that the words spoken by the later woman [Black Flame Walker] were not just simple words. A unique secret power spread and quickly locked onto "Hisoka" next to the ice coffin. Then, Hisoka''s body became stiff for a short time. Really very short. Not even three seconds. However, in a life-or-death situation, not to mention three seconds, even one second of delay can be fatal. The next moment, the surging cold air enveloped Hisoka''s body in an instant. His movements were forever frozen in the moment he raised the dagger. The whole person''s vitality was completely lost. Rather than freezing to death, it was more like his life was completely sucked away by that strange ice coffin. As for the person who was burning himself, he soon turned into an ice sculpture in the bone-chilling cold, motionless. After all this batch of [Black Flame Walkers] died. The temperature in the entire hall seemed to have dropped a few degrees, and the ice coffin looked a little more sinister and dangerous. At this time, Xia En and others also looked at the last [Black Flame Walker] who suddenly appeared with vigilant eyes. Being able to reach the deepest part of this minaret ruins alone has not been discovered by them before... This in itself is a symbol of strength. In the end, it was Xia En who took the lead and asked: "Are you... [Black Flame Walker]?" The other party hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That''s right." "You must be the [Far North Expeditionary Force] who came to support us, right?" "The king has told us about this, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all [Black Flame Walkers]." With that said, this [Black Flame Walker] performed an ancient etiquette to everyone. But even so, there is actually a touch of pride in [Black Flame Walker]''s attitude. Those seemed to be some traces left over from the [Great Yan Kingdom] era. Hearing the word "king" in her mouth, Joey''s beautiful eyes suddenly opened slightly and he couldn''t help but ask. "Yan Yan...oh no, your king, are you okay now?" Joey''s question made everyone''s expressions change slightly, and they couldn''t help but look at her in surprise. What kind of problem is this? It''s as if you are very familiar with that salary king? What should I do if I am considered disrespectful to King Salary and cause some trouble? But soon, what happened next was beyond the expectations of Daisy, Lewis and others. "Um?" Hearing this, [Black Flame Walker] was also stunned: "How do you know the king''s name, and with such an attitude..." Suddenly, the man seemed to have remembered something and said in great surprise. "Wait, are you?" Xia En took a step forward and said calmly: "I am the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En." "I wonder if you''ve heard of this name." "[Black Swan]...Captain Shane..." Upon hearing this, the [Black Flame Walker]''s expression changed several times under his hood. Finally, she walked up to Xia En, knelt down on one knee in front of everyone''s surprised eyes, and said respectfully. "Met Captain Shane." Xia En was also caught off guard: "What are you doing?" [Black Flame Walker] replied: "The king once said that when you see the captain of [Black Swan], you should treat him as if you have met him." As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Daisy siblings, Nana and Lewis, even Jane couldn''t help but look shocked. They never expected that Xia En actually had a close friendship with the legendary [Salary King]. The words of [Black Flame Walker] alone are enough to explain Xia En''s status in the eyes of [King Xin]! But no one could figure this out. News of [King Xin]s comeback had only recently spread across the Seven Seas. When did Xia En establish such a deep friendship with [Xinwang]? Xia En didn''t care what everyone thought, he just felt warm in his heart. These words showed that Yan Yan had not forgotten the time on the [Black Swan], which made him feel quite relieved. Since there was such a relationship, Xia En was inevitably curious about what happened just now and the mysterious ice coffin, so he asked. "What happened to those [Black Flame Walkers] earlier?" "And the woman in the ice coffin..." After hesitating for a moment, the [Black Flame Walker] responded. "Actually, the woman in the ice coffin is the princess of the [Great Yan Kingdom]..." (End of chapter) Chapter 337 【Eternal Coffin】【Rebel】【Tinder】 Chapter 337 [Eternal Coffin] [Rebel] [Fire] "Your Highness the Princess of Dayan?" Hearing this title, Xia En couldn''t help but feel strange emotions in his heart. Even if you think about it carefully. As the king of [Great Yan Kingdom], Yan Yan has ruled [Great Yan Kingdom] for so long. It would be a strange thing if he did not marry a wife. It is perfectly normal to have such an existence as a "princess" or a "queen". The main reason why Xia En felt strange was that the "King of Xin" in his impression was just "Yan Yan". That image of an innocent, kind, sunny and cheerful young man was how Xia En recognized him. Therefore, Xia En felt a little weird when she thought that he was actually much older than her and had even married a princess. Not only Xia En, but also Joey beside him had a dazed expression. "What? So Mr. Yan Yan has been married a long time ago?" "I wonder if he has given birth to a child..." Joey paused mid-sentence, because if Yan Yan had a child, the possibility of the child surviving after such a disaster would be extremely slim. Fortunately, the [Black Flame Walker] said: "The princess and the king have not given birth to any children." "Moreover, the king only married one princess, Her Royal Highness." After hearing this, Joey relaxed a little. However, after learning the identity of the woman in the coffin, Xia En became even more confused. Since she is the princess of the [Great Yan Kingdom], why do those [Black Flame Walkers] attack her, with a determined attitude of wanting to kill her? On the other hand, the purpose of this woman [Black Flame Walker] seems to be to protect the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom. They are both [Black Flame Walkers], but they have two completely different attitudes. What''s going on? Xia En simply expressed his doubts directly to the person in front of him. "Well...this..." This [Black Flame Walker] hesitated for a long time. If it were an ordinary outsider, she would definitely not reveal the truth, because this is the internal secret of [Black Flame Walker]. But since he is the captain of the [Black Swan] whom [King Xin] trusts, maybe he can... After thinking for a moment, [Black Flame Walker] made up his mind and spoke. "To be honest, there have been some discordant voices among [Black Flame Walkers] recently." "They deeply hate the current Seven Seas Federation and are dissatisfied with the king''s decision. They even secretly disobeyed the king''s orders." "During this period, this group of [Black Flame Walkers] gradually made some radical moves, and the plan against Her Royal Highness was one of them." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help frowning and glanced at Jane who was not far away. It seems that, as Jane expected, two camps with different positions appeared in [Black Flame Walkers]. One of them, even King Xin cannot fully control. This is undoubtedly very bad news. What if those [Black Flame Walkers] not only simply want to vent their anger, but also have malicious intentions towards the current Xinwang and the entire world. They will obviously become the resistance for the [Far North Expeditionary Force] to save the [King] and solve the second major flood crisis. In addition, [Black Flame Walker], as the subordinate of King Xin, is bound to know more secrets. The gap in intelligence will make the situation more difficult. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Shane asked seriously. "What are the plans for the princess specifically?" The female [Black Flame Walker] glanced at the body frozen into an ice sculpture not far away and explained: "Actually, their original purpose was not to kill Her Royal Highness, but to wake her up and kidnap her away." "They want to use this method to make the king surrender, or make some wrong judgments, or even blackmail the king." Hearing this, Joey on the side couldn''t help but feel a little angry. "How despicable! You actually use such despicable methods!" As the saying goes, no harm comes to the wife or daughter. But in the cruel reality, using all available factors is the norm among enemies with different positions. No matter how despicable and shameless you are, as long as you can achieve your goal, that''s enough. And for these [Black Flame Walkers] who have become corrupted by hatred, this is probably even more true. Therefore, no matter what method they use, Xia En will not be too surprised. He continued to ask: "Then why did their plan change from kidnapping to assassination?" The [Black Flame Walker] replied: "Actually, among these rebels, there are still some people who are not so firm in their stance and are loyal to King Xin." "So, after the rebels started moving, the king quickly learned of their plans and sent us to stop the rebels." "Actually, I am just a vanguard to stop the plan. The large forces behind should arrive soon." Shane nodded understandingly. Jane said before that even if hundreds of years have passed, King Xin still has strong control over the [Black Flame Walker]. The truly extreme rebels are obviously only a small part of the [Black Flame Walkers]. So much so that when they disobeyed King Xin''s orders, they would probably feel a strong sense of guilt and guilt. Only in this way can King Xin get the information among the rebels in time. The woman continued: "Because I am worried that the reinforcements from behind will arrive and kidnap Her Royal Highness." "The rebels were forced to change their plans and choose to destroy the ice coffin." "And there''s one more thing..." [Black Flame Walker] glanced at Lewis and Nana next to him and said with a strange expression. "Actually, you entered this ruins by mistake and became the trigger for this assassination." "Originally, the rebels should have been preparing for a while, but after seeing you discover this ruins, they had to take action in advance." "That''s why I followed them and infiltrated into the ruins." The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly: "That''s it." He had previously found it strange that even without the final secret technique of the [Black Flame Walker], the rebels'' approach to the ice coffin was extremely difficult, resulting in heavy casualties. The co-authorship was an act of his own group, which forced them to take action in advance. But thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little strange. His perception is already very sharp, and coupled with the joint scanning of Jane and Joey, if there is any living creature sneaking nearby, it should be impossible to hide it from them. How did this group of [Black Flame Walkers] sneak into the lowest level of this ruins right under their noses? After hearing Xia En''s question, the woman explained calmly. "The reason is...the [Black Flame Robe] we are wearing." The woman took off her hood, revealing a beautiful face. Although she was in such a cold environment, her complexion was quite rosy and her body temperature remained above normal. The black robe she wore was actually very thin, and compared to Joey''s snow-white fox fur, it was even thinner and a little shabby. Xia En originally thought that the reason why the other party was able to wear such a black robe and move on the cold ice field was because of his special physique. But now it seems that the black robe is the key! The next moment. The woman put her hood back on. Something that surprised everyone happened immediately. Although she was still standing there, in her perception, the presence of this [Black Flame Walker] completely disappeared, and his aura seemed to be completely dissolved in the air. If the naked eye hadn''t been able to pinpoint her outline, Xia En would have suspected that she suddenly disappeared! Immediately, a woman''s voice came from under the hood. "This is our [Black Flame Walker] exclusive equipment. It is a robe made by the king with the help of some special technology and materials." "It can not only eliminate its own sense of existence, but also resist severe cold weather. Its own defense is quite strong." "In the heyday of [Great Yan Kingdom], there were only a thousand pieces of [Black Flame Robes]." "The reason why [Black Flame Walker] is rumored to be elusive and everywhere is also inseparable from it." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but glance at several corpses near the ice coffin. Although most of them were frozen into ice sculptures, their [Black Flame Robes] were still intact for the time being. With this kind of robe, it will undoubtedly work wonders in the special environment of [the Far North]! Looking at his eyes, the woman said weakly. "Captain Xia En, according to regulations, after discovering the [Black Flame Robe], we must recover it and hand it over..." Xia En waved his hand: "It''s okay, it''s just a few clothes. Could your king be so stingy?" "I''m more curious than this...how do you plan to deal with this princess?" The woman straightened her expression: "According to the original plan, if the rebels do not kidnap Her Royal Highness, we will wake her up." "However, the key items needed to awaken Her Royal Highness are still in the hands of others." "Now we just have to wait for them to arrive." Xia En looked at the black-haired woman in the ice coffin: "Would you like to wake her up..." Originally, Xia En didn''t want to meddle in other people''s business and just wanted to leave this weird ruins as soon as possible, but since this black-haired woman was Yan Yan''s princess, he would naturally be responsible to the end. "How long will it take for the reinforcements you mentioned to arrive?" The woman said confidently: "It''s almost time. After receiving my signal, we should be able to arrive in less than half an hour." An hour later. The hall in the deepest part of the ruins is still cold. Due to the extremely low temperature here, Xia En has asked Joey and others to return to the Black Swan to keep warm. The entire hall seemed even more deserted because of its emptiness. The face of the [Black Flame Walker] named "Irina" no longer looked confident as before, but instead showed wavering and confusion. "Strange...why haven''t you come yet?" Xia En was very patient: "Wait a little longer, maybe there is an accident on the road?" "Accident...yes! Accident!" Hearing this, Irina suddenly realized something, couldn''t help but change her face, and murmured to herself. "The number of rebels is definitely not limited to this few." "But they haven''t appeared yet... bad! The rebels must have gone to attack the reinforcements!" That''s when. From the upper floor of the inverted minaret, Nana hurriedly ran down. "Captain Shane, a [Black Flame Walker] who calls himself Sergei came to the [Black Swan] and said he wanted to request assistance." "Sergey, is he okay?" When Irina heard the name, she quickly asked with concern. Nana shook her head: "He was seriously injured and covered in blood. He seemed to have fought his way out of the enemy''s encirclement." "Is there anyone else with him?" "He''s the only one." Irina''s expression suddenly became ugly: "How could..." Soon, Shane took Irina to the ice field and met Sergey next to the [Black Swan]. The man in the black robe was obviously seriously injured. Blood seeped out of the black robe, leaving a scarlet footprint on the white ice field. After seeing Irina, Sergey''s dim eyes lit up slightly and he murmured. "Irina... As long as you''re okay..." Irina''s eyes were slightly red: "Where are the troops with you? Where are Paul and the others?" "Cough...cough!" Sergey coughed up a mouthful of black-red blood, leaving shocking red spots on the ice sheet. He said with great difficulty: "We were ambushed by the rebels. Paul died on the spot, and the rest of his companions died and escaped." "I was lucky enough to escape." Irina pursed her lips: "What on earth is going on?" "Why are our whereabouts exposed?" Sergey hesitated and said, "I suspect... there is a traitor among us!" "Someone has gone to the rebel side!" Irina''s beautiful eyes opened slightly, showing shock and resentment, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it!" "If I know who the traitor is, I will definitely let him..." Sergey continued: "Compared with this matter, the most important thing is that the [fire] used to awaken Her Royal Highness was taken away by them." "It is very likely that the rebels will go to the sanctuary where the princess is again and use [fire] to wake her up." "We must transport the second [Fire] as soon as possible and protect Her Royal Highness during this period." With that said, Sergey looked at Xia En, who was not far away. "You should be the captain of the [Black Swan], Shane, right?" "I implore you to help us!" Xia En did not agree directly, but asked: "[Fire]...what exactly is it?" Irina explained: "Actually, [Fire] is...a vessel that carries the king''s flame!" "The king''s flame contains a special frequency and waveband, which can unlock the seal of the [Eternal Coffin] and allow Her Royal Highness to wake up." "...King Xin''s flame?" "Frequency? Band?" "[Eternal Coffin]..." Although he was quite interested in these new terms that appeared in Irina''s mouth, Xia En also knew that now was not the time to delve deeper. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "If it is the flame of [Xinwang], I might be able to simulate it." "What?" Irina''s first reaction was disbelief, and she earnestly persuaded: "Captain Shane, I know you have good intentions." "But the king''s flame is definitely different from ordinary flames, and has even gone beyond the scope of ordinary fire." "If the seal cannot be broken, it will cause harm to you." Xia En knew that words could not convince Irina, so he simply walked directly to the depths of the ruins. Whether it works or not, you will know once you try it! (End of chapter) Chapter 338 Princess Dayan An Bing, wake up! Chapter 338 Princess DayanDark Bing, wake up! "Captain Shane? Captain Shane!" Seeing Xia En''s actions, Irina was quite panicked and quickly followed him. "Ahem..." Sergey, who was leaning on the edge of the boat, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, his face also changed, and he said to Joey and others. "Quickly stop your captain!" "Otherwise, by the time he is frozen by the [Eternal Coffin], everything will be too late!" Hearing this, Lewis and his crew not far away couldn''t help but look worried. But what surprised them was that the expressions of Joey and others, who had the closest relationship with Xia En, did not change much, let alone showed any tension or worry. Lewis couldn''t help but ask: "Aren''t you going to persuade Captain Shane?" "That [Eternal Coffin] sounds very dangerous. If something happens to him..." Joey glanced at him strangely: "Since Mr. Captain decided to do this, he must have enough confidence?" "If he says it can be done, it can be done." "In that case, what''s there to worry about?" Sergey on the side felt it was extremely ridiculous and said: "The seal on the [Eternal Coffin] was set by King Xin himself." "Why do you think your captain can imitate the king''s [fire]?" Joey said as a matter of course: "Because he is Captain Shane!" "This reason is enough." Then she couldn''t help but murmured in a low voice: "Besides, King Xin''s flame... isn''t a very rare thing, right?" At least Joey himself has seen Yanyan''s flames dozens of times. Previously, when he was in the "Cold Sea", Yanyan would actively release flames to keep everyone on the ship warm. To her, this was certainly nothing unusual. The half-dragon Nana also said after thinking: "If it is an ordinary person, it will definitely not be possible to do such a thing." "But if it''s Captain Shane, maybe... is it really possible?" The Daisy siblings on the side nodded silently, agreeing in their hearts. After all, they have been shocked by what Xia En has done so many times, and their psychological threshold has been raised very high. Its not like Captain Shane has never done anything more shocking than this. "You... you..." This time, it was Sergey''s turn to be stunned. He didn''t expect that Joey and others would have such almost blind trust in Xia En. This kind of trust is simply like...the trust they [Black Flame Walkers] have in King Xin. After thinking for a moment, Joey cast a simple healing spell on Sergey and said. "Since you are so worried, I will take you down to have a look together." Nana raised her hands and said, "I want to go too! I want to go too!" Daisy and Alessio looked at each other and could see the curiosity in each other''s eyes. Obviously, they are also curious about whether Xia En can unlock the seal of the "Eternal Coffin". It didn''t take long. The group of people came to the bottom of the "Inverted Minaret" again. At this time, Xia En walked towards the [Eternal Coffin] step by step under Irina''s uneasy gaze. She murmured in a low voice: "Captain Shane...will it really be okay?" Joey said firmly: "Believe him, he will reawaken your Royal Highness the Princess." Xia En felt the gazes of everyone behind him, but his heart was as calm as still water. He knew exactly what he was going to do. As the distance to the [Eternal Coffin] got closer and closer, Xia En could clearly feel that the temperature nearby was continuously decreasing. The biting chill clung to his back like a cold poisonous snake, seeping into his skin from every pore, as if it was going to penetrate deep into his bones. Not only that, Xia En also noticed that there was a sense of resistance in this chill. It seems to be warning the visitor not to go any further. But Xia En ignored this warning and continued to stride forward. Of course, Xia En is not a stupid young man who doesn''t care about anything. While moving forward, he was also trying to use the [Secret Power of the Void] to simulate the flames of the flames to achieve the so-called [fire] effect. The characteristic of [Void Secret Power] that can be transformed into thousands of secret powers is the key to Xia En''s courage to try to awaken Princess Dayan. However, after trying it for a while, Xia En discovered that this matter was not as simple as he expected. Like Joey, Shane has been exposed to the flames many times. So his first impression was that there was nothing unusual about this kind of flame. But when he actually started to use [Secret Power of the Void] to simulate the flames of the flames, Xia En immediately noticed - Just as Irina said, the flames of Yanyan are definitely not ordinary fires! It can burn forever, and it can also burn the soul and [Filthy Secret Power] together... How could such a flame be really ordinary? Xia En has reason to suspect that the secret power hidden in the Yan Yan Flame is most likely the same as the [Secret Power of the Void] and [Power of the Gods], which are existences that are superior to ordinary secret powers in terms of levels! However, this does not mean that the [Secret Power of the Void] cannot be transformed into flaming flames, it is just that the process is slightly more difficult. at the same time. The [Eternal Coffin] in the center of the hall seemed to be aware of the arrival of such an uninvited guest. Gradually, a chill is gathering momentum near the [Eternal Coffin]. It seems that this ice coffin noticed that Xia En was unusual, so it did not use ice needles, ice thorns or other means to test it. Instead, I was going to give him a big shot! The icy chill condensed into a freezing wind, bringing with it a substantial pallor. Just looking at it makes people feel chilly and gives them a bad premonition. And the people watching also sensed a sense of desolation from this pale cold wind. It''s as if... this cold wind can wipe out all life. Lewis on the side suddenly changed his expression: "This, this is [Wind of Loneliness]!" Hearing this, Daisy couldn''t help but frown: "The rumored extremely dangerous [Wind of Coldness]?" "It is said that a sixth-level secret path practitioner has died from the destruction of the [Cold Wind]..." "But how could [Lengjie Wind] be related to this ice coffin?" Thinking of this, Daisy cast a worried look at Shane. It was one thing to have faith in Captain Shane, quite another to fear for his safety. Irina, who was wearing a black robe, pursed her lips and stared intently at Xia En in the field, her nails almost digging into her flesh without even realizing it. She was not optimistic about Xia En''s actions from the beginning, so she held opposing opinions from beginning to end. Regarding Xia En''s current insistence, Irina was angry and helpless, but also worried and nervous. "Forget it, since Captain Xia En is someone the king values ????he, then he can always escape unscathed, right?" "As long as he suffers a little bit, he will probably give up." Just like Joey and other crew members have an obsessive admiration for Shane, Irina also has extremely firm confidence in King Xin. Therefore, even now, Irina does not believe that Xia En can unlock the seal of the [Eternal Coffin]. I just hope that Xia En can retreat as soon as possible to avoid irreparable injuries. But at this time, Xia En''s pace will not stop because of other people''s thoughts. The invisible armor composed of [Great Dark Sky] isolates the surrounding cold. However, Xia En could also detect the threat brought by the [Cold Wind], and there was a faint tingling feeling in his gut. Obviously, if he takes this [Leng Jie Wind] firmly, even he will suffer serious injuries. This situation undoubtedly made Xia En feel a little more urgent. Due to the effect of [Captain''s Majesty], Xia En and Yan Yan had already established some kind of indescribable connection. Now, what Xia En has to do is to use this connection to simulate the secret power of fire that belongs exclusively to Yan Yan! laugh! Suddenly, a ball of orange-red flame suddenly ignited in Xia En''s palm. The shape, color, and breath of this flame are very similar to the flames of Yanyan at that time. "Um?" Irina and Sergey opened their eyes slightly and looked at this scene with some surprise. But after observing carefully for a moment, Irina looked disappointed and sighed. "It''s a pity that it''s just superficial. There is still a big gap between it and the king''s flame." Sergei came to a similar conclusion, but he also saw something else. "Being able to imitate the king''s flames to this extent shows that Captain Xia En indeed has a deep friendship with the king..." Soon, Sergey''s expression changed and he looked at the ice coffin in the center. "No! This flame will irritate the [Eternal Coffin]. Captain Shane is in danger!" Just like Sergey said. The moment flames appeared in Xia En''s palm, [Eternal Coffin] seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and the cold secret power began to escape slightly violently. The pale mist lingered around the ice coffin, raising the danger of the ready-to-attack [Wind of Coldness] to another level. Something to say. This is like a punishment for entering the wrong password. At this time, even Xia En''s hair stood up slightly, showing the oppressive feeling brought by this [cold wind]. Among the people present, I am afraid that only Jane is certain to accept this [Wind of Coldness and Silence]. After realizing this, everyone''s expressions changed. "Is this the true power of [Wind of Cold Silence]? It''s really extraordinary..." Lewis was frightened and murmured: "Now, Captain Shane is in danger." Daisy and Alessio were also a little shaken, worried about Shane''s safety. Jane''s fingers slightly rubbed the cane in her hand, hesitating whether to take action. After all, she had only become a crew member of the Black Swan not long ago, and her understanding and trust of Xia En was limited. But soon, Jane saw Joey''s expression and silently gave up her plan to take action. Although Joey was also secretly frightened by the power of the [Cold Wind], her pretty face was still filled with confidence in Xia En. Jane''s idea is that since she is already a crew member of the Black Swan, she might as well give Captain Shane a little more trust - just like these old crew members. at the same time. Xia En was focused on adjusting the flames in his palms. Visible to the naked eye, this flame began to get closer and closer to Yanyan''s flame. But it seems that some crucial factor is always missing. Or rather, soul? As a result, Xia En was unable to truly create the [Fire] for unblocking. Moreover, such behavior seemed to anger the [Eternal Coffin] in the center of the hall. Thinking about it, Xia En, an outsider, even if he entered the wrong password, he actually entered the wrong password again and again. Isn''t this a provocation? So, the next moment! The pale cold wind that had been building up for a long time was no longer patient and roared directly towards Xia En. Click...click... This cold wind was so cold that a solid sheet of ice crystals quickly condensed on the floor of the hall. In the eyes of everyone, it looked like a pale beast, opening its big mouth to swallow Xia En in front of him. And once that happens, even Xia En will turn into an ice sculpture like the [Black Flame Walker] before! The flame in Xia En''s palm was more like a match that could go out at any time in front of this pale beast, unable to withstand the surging cold. But at the moment when the pale cold wind was about to wrap around Xia En''s body. He also finally captured the missing part of the flame. He raised his right hand. On the back of his right hand, there was a brand that lit up with a dark red fire. [Certificate of the Salary King! In this brand, the power belonging to King Xin is engraved. Xia En understood that the past sacrifices and pains, those past events that he did not want to look back on, and that painful history were also part of the flame of [Xinwang]. Without it, this flame cannot be complete. After understanding this. The flame in Xia En''s palm changed again. From the outside, there was no change in the fire''s light, but in the deepest part of the flame, a very unique light shone. With the injection of this dim light, the texture of the entire flame suddenly changed drastically. Like waking up from a deep sleep. It was as if he had his own soul and suddenly came to life. It still looks very weak, but in terms of breath, it is on par with the pale cold wind, and is no worse than the lower wind. In fact, in front of it, the [Wind of Coldness], which was ferocious and violent just a second ago, stopped in an instant. [The Cold Wind] seemed to show awe, and spread out quietly like that. "This...this is!?" Irina and Sergey''s eyes widened suddenly, and they were shocked beyond words when they saw the flames in Xia En''s hands and the cold mist that receded on its own. Its unmistakable, its the Kings Flame! And Captain Shane actually controlled that kind of flame? laugh- Immediately afterwards, under everyone''s surprised eyes, the unusually cold breath began to continuously enter the ice coffin. The air in the entire hall had a warm spring-like feeling. After all the cold air was absorbed by the ice coffin, the lid of the [Eternal Coffin] slowly opened on its own. The hazy ice fog gradually dissipated, as if the last layer of mysterious veil had been unveiled. The beautiful black-haired woman opened her eyes and raised her body from the ice coffin. The whole movement looked extremely graceful. She looked calmly at Xia En in front of her, and spoke in a noble and cold voice. "My name is An Bing." "Why...why did you wake me up?" (End of chapter) Chapter 339 [Eternal Coffin (imitation)] [Memory Miasma] Chapter 339 [Eternal Coffin (Imitation)] [Memory Miasma] Looking at Princess Dayan getting up from the ice coffin, Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly. In addition to the indescribable noble and transcendent temperament, Xia En also sensed a faint sense of oppression and threat from her. This shows that the Great Yan Princess named "Dark Ice" may have considerable strength in her own right. The rank is at least sixth level, maybe even higher! Shane wasn''t surprised. Becoming the only princess of the [Great Yan Kingdom] is obviously not something that a vase can do. However, there was one thing that puzzled Xia En. It should have been some time since Yan Yan returned to [Far North]. Why didn''t she decide to wake her up until the rebels in [Black Flame Walker] took action against An Bing? Is there any hidden secret in this? After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Xia En spoke calmly. "It was King Xin who ordered you to be awakened." "...Salary King?" Hearing this title, An Bing frowned: "It seems that you are not a citizen of [Great Yan Kingdom]..." "Where is Yan Yan? Let him come to see me!" When saying this, An Bing gritted his teeth, with strong resentment in his tone. "For doing that to me and my family...does he think I will forgive him?" "Um?" Xia En''s expression was a little strange, and he smelled blood in these words. Although it seemed a bit unfair, to be honest, he was still very interested in the love-hate relationship between Yan Yan and Princess Dayan. All I had to do was hold a piece of melon and eat it next to me. But at this time, the abnormal coldness of the [Eternal Coffin] dissipated. Irina and the injured Sergey also quickly came to Xia En and An Bing. As soon as they saw An Bing, the two of them immediately knelt down on one knee and said with great respect: "[Black Flame Walker] Irina (Sergei), I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" "[Black Flame Walker]...I haven''t heard this word for a long time." An Bing''s peripheral vision was quickly attracted to Joey, Daisy and others. The different new clothes, the curious and appreciative eyes, and the less than respectful demeanor... all indicate that - They are not the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], but outsiders of this country! Moreover, why are there only two [Black Flame Walkers]? What happened during her years of sleep? Thinking of these questions, An Bing couldn''t help but feel a little panicked. A strange environment, a strange era, strange people...these factors combined brought quite a shock to the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom. An Bing murmured and asked: "Irina, how long...how long have I been sleeping?" Irina hesitated for a moment, then replied: "It should have been at least a thousand years." "millennium" An Bing''s expression finally changed and he asked in a slightly trembling voice. "So, how is [Great Yan Country] doing?" Irina''s eyes were slightly red and she replied: "Your Highness, [Great Yan Kingdom] has died." "The only ones left are us, the remnants of the old era." An Bing murmured in disbelief: "[Great Yan Kingdom]...is dead?" "No...impossible!" After hearing the bad news, An Bing suddenly became excited. "Yan Yan, did he lie to me? He clearly said that as long as the plan is implemented smoothly..." Her words stopped abruptly. Because at this time, waves of dizziness appeared in An Bing''s mind, and he fell to the ground and lost consciousness. "Your Highness the Princess!!" Amid the exclamations, Irina quickly stepped forward to support her. After confirming that An Bing''s breathing was still stable, Irina breathed a sigh of relief. "Her Royal Highness seems to have fainted, but... what is going on?" "Captain Shane, please help me." Jane stood up and said, "Let me see her situation." She tapped her cane lightly on An Bing''s body, and azure blue light rippled out of the water and spread to An Bing''s whole body. Soon, after a moment of inspection, Jane gave an authoritative answer. "Don''t worry, her life is not in danger, but she has been sleeping for too long and is very weak." "This, coupled with the sudden emotional agitation, resulted in a temporary coma." "It should wake up on its own in two days." Hearing this, Irina was relieved. If Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was finally rescued, could not sleep like this, how could she have the face to see her king? She looked at Xia En in wonder and gratitude. "I didn''t expect that Captain Xia En could really wake up Her Royal Highness." "I apologize for my previous ignorance and thank you for your help." Xia En waved his hand: "It''s just a little effort." Irina bit her lip and said, "Actually, I have one more request..." Seeing her troubled expression, Xia En simply said: "Are you escorting the princess to King Xin?" "Yes...yes." Irina said: "Now we only have two people. The princess is unconscious and Sergey is seriously injured." "Moreover, we are not sure whether the reinforcements arriving now are enemies or friends..." Their traces were discovered before, apparently because there was a traitor in the team. This shows that not only they [Black Flame Walkers] who are loyal to King Xin have infiltrated into the rebels, but the rebels are also lurking in their camp. Therefore, Irina did not dare to rashly send back the information about how to save the princess. What if the person who received the information happened to be a spy in [Black Flame Walker]? Wouldn''t everything be over? But right now, the only person Irina and I can rely on is Xia En. "I understand, leave it to me." Xia En''s answer was calm and firm, but it contained a strong confidence. For Yan Yan''s sake, it was only natural to help a group of [Black Flame Walkers] and Princess Dayan. The wife of one of my own crew members was bullied. How could I, the captain, just sit back and watch? Therefore, from the beginning, Xia En was ready to send An Bing to Yan Yan. In the process, you can also learn some of the history of [Dayan Kingdom] from her. Upon hearing Xia En''s promise, both Irina and Sergey couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If it had been before, they might have thought that Xia En was telling lies. But after witnessing with their own eyes the process of Xia En creating [Fire] from scratch, both of their ideas changed. Captain Shane is indeed qualified to say that! Even as soon as his promise was spoken, the two of them felt a sense of security, and their hearts seemed to settle down. Irina secretly thought in her heart: "Perhaps this is why Captain Xia En can make the king treat him differently?" Xia En continued: "However, I still have some questions to ask you about [Great Yan Kingdom]..." It didn''t take long. Irina, An Bing, and the mysterious [Eternal Coffin] were all moved onto the [Black Swan]. Of course, Xia En did not let go of the [Black Flame Robes] on the rebels. Regarding the mysterious ice coffin, Xia En first observed it on his own. He discovered that the ice that condensed into this coffin was surprisingly similar to the ice on the frozen towns when he was diving in the [Cold Sea]. However, the ice that makes up the ice coffin is stronger and more solid, as if it has been compressed dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, by some external force. At the same time, Shane also tried to use the panel to uncover its secrets. [Eternal Coffin (imitation)] [Quality: Legend] [Type: Relic] [Description: A carefully manufactured imitation that contains some of the characteristics of the real "Eternal Coffin". [Sleeping in it, supplemented by special rituals and secret powers, can cause the body and soul to fall into a long sleep and remain incorruptible for thousands of years. There is no real eternity in the world. "hiss" There wasn''t much description on the panel, but it made Xia En take a slight breath. This [Eternal Coffin] that Princess Dayan has been sleeping in for thousands of years is actually just an imitation? And just an imitation is of [Legendary] quality! What level will the genuine [Eternal Coffin] reach? To be honest, the first thing that came to Xia En''s mind was Vivian''s crystal coffin. After all, it is quite similar in temperament to this mysterious ice coffin, and it was discovered from the [Ember Sanctuary]. There must be some connection between the two. However, after Xia En opened the crystal coffin again and looked it up and down under Vivian''s surprised eyes, he still found nothing special. The panel also didn''t give any prompts. It''s like, it''s just an ordinary coffin. Xia En touched his chin and guessed in his mind. "Could it be said that this crystal coffin is an imitation of the [Eternal Coffin]?" At this time, Vivian on the side intervened weakly. "Captain Shane, what are you doing?" "Although it''s a bit strange to say this,... ghosts also have privacy!" "You''ve seen all my body!" Shane: "..." He glanced at the white skeleton in the crystal coffin. During the rummaging just now, Xia En had indeed seen all the skeleton. Resisting the urge to complain, Xia En coughed twice and changed the subject. "Vivian, have you ever heard of...[Eternal Coffin]?" "[Eternal Coffin]?" Vivian blinked: "What is that?" "Is my coffin spacious and comfortable?" Shane twitched the corner of his mouth and decided not to ask Vivian these questions. What are you arguing with a salted fish ghost? And every time I talk about these topics with Vivian, I always feel like my painting style will be distorted. Afterwards, Xia En left Vivian''s cabin and asked Irina and Sergey some questions about [Black Flame Walker] and [Great Flame Kingdom]. First and foremost, Shane''s biggest concern is... "How did you [Black Flame Walkers] survive the first great flood and survive until now?" Hearing this question, Irina was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "You really saw it." That''s right, from the first time he saw Irina and these [Black Flame Walkers], Xia En could tell They are not the descendants of the [Black Flame Walkers] that have been reproduced from generation to generation, but the batch of [Black Flame Walkers] from the peak period of the [Great Yan Kingdom]! What Xia En doesn''t even know is... Back then at the [Conference of Nations] in [City of Giant Woods], he had a chance encounter with Irina and Sergey! In other words, in terms of actual age, each of them is at least a thousand years old! However, it is obvious. Irina and other [Black Flame Walkers] are not immortals with long life spans. So how did they spend this long time? Facing Xia En''s question, Irina explained: "Actually, we [Black Flame Walkers], like Her Royal Highness, have been dormant in a special life-support device for thousands of years." "When we wake up, what we will see is this frozen [Ultra North]." "Special life support device?" Xia En raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of the life-support device he had seen in the [Ember Shelter]. From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the so-called "sleep cabin." Shane remembered that the life-support device in the shelter was empty at that time, which meant that the people inside might have left long ago. "It turns out that [Great Yan Country]''s technological level has developed to this point..." Shane was a little surprised. At least on Earth in the previous life, technology like hibernating cabins was far from mature. And in [Great Yan Country], this technology has been widely used? However, in this case, why did Princess Dayan deliberately sleep in the imitation [Eternal Coffin]? Soon, Irina answered Xia En''s doubts. "Actually, our life support device also has some problems." "Many of my companions died accidentally when they woke up, or died due to device malfunction." After hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized. It is obvious that although the "sleep chamber" technology of [Dayan Kingdom] is widely used, there is still a high mortality rate. That''s why An Bing used the imitation [Eternal Coffin] to sleep. But there are also some things that don''t make sense. If this technology is not yet mature, why is Yan Yan so anxious to put it into use? It''s almost like... being forced to use such a backup plan. Naturally, Shane asked Irina about their experiences before their long sleep. The results obtained surprised Xia En. "You mean..." "Your memories before your long sleep are extremely blurry. Can''t you remember what happened?" "Yes" Irina said apologetically: "It''s not just me, all the [Black Flame Walkers] can''t remember clearly the memory of the period before sleeping." "I just remember that something so tragic and painful happened that just thinking about it makes me feel a stabbing pain in my mind." Hearing these words, Jane on the side couldn''t help but frowned and said. "This symptom...is a bit like [memory miasma]." "What''s that?" Shane couldn''t help but ask. Jane explained: After some people experience extremely painful events, their brains will automatically block those memories out of self-protection, resulting in [memory miasma]. "However, there is another possibility." "That is a certain mystical person or **** who has used some kind of secret technique to hide all the memories that have been left in people''s minds for a certain period of time." (End of chapter) Chapter 340 【Young Salary King】【Self-Execution】 Chapter 340 [Young Salary King] [Self-Execution] "Hide...memory?" Xia En silently chewed the information revealed in Jane''s words, and couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart. Mass memory loss In his previous life, he probably wouldn''t have believed that such a thing happened. But after wandering around the Seven Seas for so long and coming into contact with gods such as [Husi Ming], Xia En understood that to them, this kind of thing was not unthinkable. However, what puzzled Xia En was If it is true as Jane guessed, the memory of [Black Flame Walker] was artificially erased and hidden. Then what is the purpose of the other party doing this? What happened during that time? Later, Shane carefully asked Irina about her memories before they fell asleep. According to Irina, she only remembered that King Xin seemed to have foreseen the coming disaster in advance, so he ordered them to make a lot of preparations for a certain plan. Preparations include but are not limited to collecting strange materials and supplies, building shelters, transporting certain key people or things... For this reason, [Great Yan Kingdom] spent a lot of manpower and material resources. It can be said that the whole country has been mobilized. But at that time, even the [Black Flame Walker] who personally implemented this plan did not know why King Xin did this. That is to say, such a thing can only happen in the [Great Yan Kingdom] where King Xin has almost absolute power. In some countries where the king''s control is weaker, this might directly cause turmoil. When he heard about collecting seeds and biological embryos, Xia En immediately understood that part of the [Black Flame Walkers] preparations were probably for the "Ember Plan!" That is, to create an [Ember Shelter] (Ember Treasure) and leave the spark of civilization for future generations. From a current perspective. The disaster King Xin faced at that time was naturally the first world-destroying flood. Moreover, the salary king at that time was not without foresight. He not only predicted the coming disaster, but also made various preparations. [Project Ember] is just one of them. However, from the scale claw in Irina''s mouth, Xia En couldn''t tell what the salary king''s other plans were. I can only vaguely guess that it is closely related to the freezing of towns and the formation of glaciers in the [Far North]. After listening to Irina''s answers, Shane touched his chin. "You mean... your memories of when you carried out the plan for King Xin are still clear." "The only vague thing is the memory before and after the disaster?" Irina thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That''s almost it." "In fact, I actually have no memory of the great flood coming at all." "I just remember that I was on a mission and suddenly passed out. When I woke up, it was already a thousand years later." "[Great Yan Country] has also become what it is now..." Hearing this, Xia En asked curiously: "What was the [Great Yan Kingdom] like in the past?" Irina said: "Although the [Far North] in the beginning was a bitter cold place compared to the southern continent, it was not as cold as it is now." "Moreover, after King Xin developed a special large-scale heating equipment, the climate in [Dayan Country] became much warmer." "Only winter is extremely cold, and the other seasons are almost the same as the southern continent." Shane''s expression was a little strange. How large of a heating equipment does this have to be able to change the climate of the entire [Far North]? So Yan Yan, you are still an inventor? ! But if you think about it carefully, with Yan Yan''s own secret power of fire, plus the technological heritage obtained from that unknown secret realm. It is not too strange that [Great Yan Kingdom] has the ability to change the climate. It seemed that Xia En still didn''t believe it. After hesitating for a moment, Irina took out a pocket watch from her clothes and handed it to him very carefully. Irina cherishes this pocket watch very much, as if she is treating a rare treasure. But Xia En could tell at a glance that the material of this pocket watch was quite ordinary, and even looked a bit decayed due to the passage of time. "This is" Looking at Xia En''s puzzled eyes, Irina explained. "Inside, there is a photo of the past [Great Yan Kingdom]." "After you see it, you should understand, but please... be gentle with it." Naturally, Xia En would not be too rough with things that others valued, and soon he opened the pocket watch gently. On the inside and back of the pocket watch, there is a photo that is not too big. In the photo, there is a group photo of Irina and several [Black Flame Walkers]. The background looked like a small forest, the sun was shining brightly, and the ground beneath everyone''s feet was even a grassy meadow. The whole picture gives people a warm intention, like walking under the spring sunshine. Xia En was a little surprised: "Is this the former [Great Yan Kingdom]?" And soon, his eyes fell on one of them, and his eyes widened slightly. Behind Irina and others, there is an extraordinarily tall figure. He has a handsome appearance, sharp eyes, a back as straight as a sword, and a confident and firm temperament. Just looking at him makes people feel extremely reliable. The smile at the corner of this man''s mouth added a touch of publicity and high-spiritedness, like the sun at eight or nine o''clock in the morning. Full of vigor, with the youthful spirit of scolding Fang Qiu. If not Yan Yan, who is it? Xia En looked at Yan Yan in the photo and couldn''t help but feel a little complicated. The man in this photo is actually quite different from the Yan Yan he knew. The Yan Yan he knew was a sunny, cheerful, innocent and kind-hearted big boy with no scheming or fuss, so he could get along well with every crew member on the Black Swan. As for the man in the photo, the title "Salary King" obviously suits him better. From his body, Xia En can even see a so-called "kingly temperament." That is the temperament that truly takes charge of a country and has the confidence to lead the country to greatness. Moreover, even the current salary king may not be able to regain the temperament shown in the photo. Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. The current salary king has experienced so many things, and his mentality is completely different from that of his younger self. "When he saw that we were going to take a photo, Wang actually asked to take a photo with us, and that''s how this photo appeared." Irina said with nostalgia. "I have carried this photo with me ever since, to this day." "It''s just... not many of the other people in the photo are still alive." By this time, Xia En also understood why Irina attached so much importance to this pocket watch. For her, this photo holds precious and important memories. Those emotions that have lasted for thousands of years can only be recalled in this photo. At this time, Joey on the side raised his little head. Looking at this group photo, she sighed softly. "Is this Yan Yan when he was young? What a big difference from now!" "However, I always feel that he is a bit similar to Captain Shane?" "Huh?" Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Where does it look like?" Joey paused for a moment: "Hmm...actually, I don''t understand it very well. I feel like they are just similar in temperament!" Irina next to me echoed: "Actually, I think so too..." In their opinion, although Xia En is a little immature compared to Xin Wang in the photo, he still has the temperament to naturally become the backbone of everyone. Even in Joey''s eyes, Xia En''s reliability is no worse than the salary king! "Really?" Xia En could not comment and did not continue on this topic. After returning the pocket watch and photo to Irina, Shane quickly ended the inquiry. Although the useful information obtained was not too much, it at least gave Xia En a better understanding of the former Yan Yan and [Great Yan Kingdom]. After walking out of the room, Jane on the side finally couldn''t help but ask. "Captain Shane, there is actually something I have wanted to ask for a long time." "What exactly is your relationship with King Xin?" This question has been hidden in Jane''s mind for a long time. Even her calm and calm personality couldn''t bear it, which shows how curious she is about this. Forget it if it''s just Xia En. The key is that even Joey, Tracy and others show familiarity with Wang Xin, which is particularly strange. "Actually, this incident was an accident." Xia En had no intention of hiding it from Jane, so he quickly told the story: "The story starts from the last time we unexpectedly came to [Lenglie Sea]..." After listening to the process of Xia En and others getting acquainted with Yan Yan, Jane suddenly realized. "So that''s it." She said with emotion: "This is really a wonderful fate." Who in the right mind would have thought that a big boy he picked up casually would be the legendary Salary King? I''m afraid the scripts of those dramas would not dare to act like this. In this way, it is understandable that Xia En and other crew members have an unusual attitude towards King Xin. However, Jane suddenly thought of something strange: "Captain Xia En, you said that when you met King Xin, his whole body was ignited by his own flames." "Continuously being burned and constantly being regenerated, right?" Xia En nodded and said, "That''s right." Jane frowned slightly and said, "This is a little strange..." "According to records in several history books, King Xin was a child born from a volcano and was born with the power to control fire." "In other words, the flame is his partner." "How could the flames continue to burn his body for thousands of years?" Hearing this, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. He had thought about this problem before, but he didn''t think about it deeply. After being reminded by Jane, Xia En suddenly realized this anomaly. Suddenly, an inexplicable idea came to Xia En''s mind. "Perhaps...this is Yan Yan''s punishment for himself?" Although there were not many times, Xia En had also seen a look of pain and self-blame on Yan Yan''s face. Especially when he recalls the past, that emotion will become more obvious. Ordinary flames cannot harm Yan Yan. Only his own flames can cause harm to himself. Perhaps burning himself was not the result of Yan Yan''s subjective control, but it was most likely his subconscious mind. He believes that certain sins on his body cannot be washed away, and he can only torture and torture himself in this way day after day. The one who truly cannot forgive King Xin is none other than himself! Only then will there be self-combustion that lasts for thousands of years. That pain was his own punishment. Although this was just Xia En''s guess, he felt that he had inadvertently touched the truth. And the key is What did King Xin do that he still can''t forgive himself for? The answer to this question is probably only known to King Xin himself. Just then. Tracey''s exclamation came from the deck. "Mr. Captain, something happened!" Shane immediately walked out of the cabin quickly and asked Tracy, "What happened?" "Look there!" Tracey quickly pointed to the ice in the distance. Xia En turned around and saw a large ship on the ice field. It''s just different from the three ships of the [Dragon Pirate Group] that were rescued earlier. Most of the ship was stuck in the ice, as if it had rolled over in some way. Not only that, there was a thick layer of frost on the surface of the entire ship, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. "What''s going on?" Xia En thought for a moment and decided to take the flying An Xiange to have a closer look. And when they came to the sky above the ship. Shane immediately understood the situation of the ship. On the deck of this ship, you can clearly see a large number of traces of battles and blood stains that have long since dried and frozen. And one corpse after another that was frozen stiff. Apparently, there had been a fierce battle on this ship. The final result was that all the crew members on the ship were killed in battle, and the entire ship was abandoned here, gradually integrating with the ice sheet. At this time, with the arrival of Xia En and the others, a "dong dong" crashing sound was quickly heard from near the cabin and hull. Soon, a group of monsters similar to but different from the previous ice crystal monsters emerged from around the abandoned ship. roar! roar- These monsters have thick white hair on their bodies and look like ugly snow monsters. They looked up at the Xia En trio above them and kept making terrifying roars, their eyes full of malice towards the living. "Another kind of monster..." Xia En frowned slightly. From these snow monsters, he also felt the power of [Huisi Ming]. However, compared to the previous ice crystal monsters, the [Filthy Secret Power] of the snow monsters seems to be weaker, making these monsters still retain many characteristics of living creatures. "Then let me grant you liberation." Shane descended slowly and began to give the snow monsters a merciful death. Compared to ice crystal monsters, snow monsters do not have such powerful immortality, but their physical fitness is far superior to the former. However, in front of Xia En, there was not much difference between the two. Wait until all the dust settles. Shane collected the bodies on the ship, simply buried them on the ice sheet, and erected a monument for them. Although he has never met these people and does not know their identities, since they are here to prevent disaster and save the world, it is worthwhile for Xia En to do this for them. (End of chapter) Chapter 341 Archbishop Musa in white! Goodbye Mr. He Chapter 341 Archbishop in WhiteMusa! Goodbye Mr. Heller! Not long after. Lewis, Nana, the Daisy siblings and others also came to the battle-damaged ship. Looking at the miserable condition of the ship, everyone fell into silence. It is conceivable that there are by no means the only victims like this. If they had not encountered the [Black Swan] by chance before, all the members of the [Dragon Pirate Group] would have died here. In this dangerous [Far North], even Xia En didn''t dare to say that he would be safe. Not to mention, the other ships in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are slightly weaker. After a moment of silence, Nana looked at the empty tombstone and asked. "Aren''t you going to leave something on this monument?" Xia En thought about it and thought it made sense. Although he had never met this group of people and did not know their identities, there should always be something left to prove that these people had been here. So, Xia En carved on the tablet - [Graves of members of the Far North Expeditionary Force] Then, Shane turned around and said. "Let''s go. In order to prevent their sacrifices from being in vain, we must prevent the second great flood from coming." Everyone nodded heavily: "Yes!" Soon, another two days passed. At this time, Princess Dayan An Bing was still in a coma and had not yet awakened. An Bing''s coma lasted a little longer than Xia En expected, but according to Jane''s examination, her vital signs were very stable and there was no concern for her life. According to Jane''s speculation, the reason why she hasn''t woken up yet is more like "unwillingness" than "can''t"! After learning such a cruel truth. In An Bing''s subconscious, he may be resisting waking up, which is why he hasn''t been able to wake up. And even Jane has no good solution to this. The human soul and consciousness are the most mysterious and sophisticated areas. To awaken her in a special way rashly may cause some irreparable damage. But thinking about it, when he comes to King Xin, there must be a way to wake him up. Although Xia En was a little disappointed because he could not get information about the past [Great Yan Kingdom] from An Bing. But compared to intelligence and information, the safety of brothers and women is obviously more important. In addition, along the way, Xia En encountered several abandoned warships and several battlefields that had experienced **** battles. They either hit the ice and were unable to move forward. Or, like the previous ship, it was surrounded by terrifying monsters on the ice field, and after a fierce battle, the crew was wiped out. Among these ships, Shane even saw the presence of the federal navy! Obviously, as the main force of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], the federal navy has begun a tug-of-war with the monsters on the ice sheet. Xia En and the crew all felt that the cold wind blowing around seemed to carry an aura of chilling and blood. In some distant places, the roar of artillery could be heard from time to time. The appearance of these abandoned warships and changes also made Xia En and others realize This is a war! The enemy of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is not a specific country or force. It''s the harsh environment of [the Far North] and the undead from the old era wandering on the ice sheet. It can also be said. This is a war between humans and the old gods who have left their mark on the land. The only good news to say. That probably means that in the past few days, Xia En and the others have not been pursued by the rebels from the [Black Flame Walker] at all. That''s Xia En''s guess. This is probably because even the rebels did not expect that they could actually awaken Dark Ice when the [Fire] was taken away. This led to the rebels misjudgment and being unable to locate the location of Xia En and others. One step is slow, each step is slow! It is already very difficult for the rebels to catch up with the [Black Swan] now. And just this morning. While the [Black Swan] broke through the ice and opened up a channel on the ice sheet. Shane was patrolling the deck of the Black Swan as usual. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a scene on the ice field not far away. I saw white dots suddenly appearing one after another on the vast expanse of ice. They seem to emerge from the cracks in the ice sheet, one after another, and the number is staggering. It quickly went from a white dot to a white line. If you look at it from above, you might find ugly patches like vitiligo appearing on the ice sheet. At the same time, there were bursts of roaring sounds coming from a distance. Such a change immediately attracted the attention of the crew on the Black Swan and other ships. "What is that?" "It looks so weird!" "It always feels like the snow monster I encountered before..." The sailors on the frigate immediately started talking. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Xian Ge''s eyesight was far better than that of ordinary humans, and he could see the true appearance of those strange white spots more clearly. At first glance. They are indeed somewhat similar to the hairy snow monsters that Shane and others encountered. Their surfaces are covered with a layer of what looks like white hair. However, the monster that appeared this time had no human form at all. They are like strange tentacles made of white hair, constantly emerging from under the ice and rushing crazily in a certain direction. It''s like spider threads that have been magnified several times, encompassing most of the ice sheet into this huge spider web. "hiss" After seeing Bai Dian''s true appearance, Xian Ge couldn''t help but take a deep breath and get goosebumps all over his body. "What is that? It looks disgusting!" Yes, disgusting. This is what that tentacle-like white-haired presence feels like. It''s as if their existence itself is a kind of blasphemy against life! In other words, they are products created to destroy life. "Another [dirty creature]..." Xia En frowned slightly, his expression solemn. [Filthy Creatures] It was his name for this kind of strange existence that was contaminated with [Filthy Secret Power] and existed between the living and the undead. The previous [Filthy Sea Heir], ice crystal monsters, snow monsters, and even the current white-haired tentacles can all be classified into the category of this kind of creature. It''s a general term that Xia En came up with. It''s just that it''s different from the other [filthy creatures] I''ve come into contact with. The white tentacles on the ice sheet in the distance gave Xia En a feeling of extreme danger. A single tentacle is certainly not scary. But what if... those tentacles are a whole, and they are just part of the body of a being under the ice? If that were the case, how big would that existence be? Thinking of this, even Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart. At this time, Jane also walked out of the cabin and came to Xia En. "That''s..." Looking at the white tentacles on the ice field, Jane also looked solemn. "Captain Shane, they seem to be converging in one direction!" "Um?" Upon hearing this, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. After observing carefully for a moment, he found that Jane''s judgment was very correct. Those white tentacles were visibly gathering towards the north, as if something was calling them in that direction. "Wait, North?" Xia En frowned suddenly. The northernmost part of [Far North] is not the headquarters of [Far North Expeditionary Force], and the location where the legendary flood came. The more critical question is - Is it only this special white tentacle that is doing this, or are all the [filthy creatures] converging towards the northernmost part of the world? If it''s the former, that''s fine, but if it''s the latter... Just imagining the scene of countless different types of "filthy creatures" coming, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill. That kind of weird [Filthy Secret Power] can only be restrained by a secret power of the same level. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for ordinary secret travelers! This is similar to the beast tide in the [Rhine Secret Realm], but it is not of the same magnitude and level at all. Suddenly this time. Jane''s expression changed, she looked at the center of the wave of tentacles, and reminded her loudly. "Captain Shane, a very strong unknown aura appears!" "Oh no...more than one!" Shane followed her gaze. I saw a blazing bright light erupting out of thin air above the ice sheet. Immediately, an old man wearing a white priest''s robe with gold patterns walked out of the light. He was tall and thin, with sparse white hair, and had a peaceful dignity about him. Xia En is no stranger to this old man. He had seen each other more than once in the [Land of Glory]. The white-clothed archbishop of Hui ReligionMusa! At this time, after taking a step forward, Musa''s eyes lightly scanned the tentacles under him and sighed. "What a filthy and filthy sight..." "Let the glow purify all of this." But, right now. There was a slight cough beside him. "Ahem, old man, your light is too bright and smelly, it hurts my eyes." "Hurry up and collect your taste." If anyone heard this title, their eyes would pop out of their heads in shock. This is the white-clothed archbishop of the Hui Sect. Who is so bold as to call him "old man"? This unconcerned tone was enough to show that instead of respecting Musa at all, he actually stood in a somewhat antagonistic position. Musa was not angry at this person''s rude attitude, but just turned his head to look at him. "To be honest, the fishy smell of the deep sea on your body really bothers me a bit." "Next time you appear in front of me, can you take a shower in advance?" "People from [Youshu Sect] don''t even have this kind of etiquette, right?" Standing in Musa''s shining shadow was a tall, lanky man with a gentlemanly air. He has messy black hair like seaweed, a strange black tattoo that looks like some kind of mollusk carved on his cheek, and he wears an old dress. When Xia En, who was far away, saw him, he couldn''t help but look shocked. Isn''t this "Mr. Heller" who we met several times in the [Insanity Islands]? After observing carefully for a moment, Xia En discovered that he seemed to be quite different from Mr. Heller in his impression. First of all, it was the aura on his body. Although the former Mr. Heller also gave Shane an unfathomable feeling at that time. But Xia En can also be sure that at that time, he definitely did not reach the level of legend. Thinking about it, if the Federation Navy knew that there was a legend sitting in the [Insanity Islands], they would definitely not treat it with that ordinary attitude. But now this "Mr. Heller" gave Xia En a vague feeling that he could be equal to Musa. In other words, he is at least a legendary powerhouse! Not even an ordinary legend. Secondly, it is his temperament and clothing. The Heller in the Luansi Islands is more calm and gloomy, like an abyss with no bottom at a glance. At this time, "Mr. Heller" seemed a bit careless and frivolous. Of course, that might just be a facade he put on. And his dress seems to have changed from light gray to black now... No matter what, Xia En''s mood was surprised and a little complicated when he saw these two acquaintances in [Lengliehai]. After all, the aura on his body caused the two of them to have some kind of "misunderstanding", and they mistakenly thought that he was a "holy son" or something like that in their own sect. If it were exposed, wouldn''t the situation be embarrassing? At the same time, Xia En was a little curious. Why do these two people appear here together? They represent [Hui Sect] and [Netherworld Sect] respectively. They can''t come to this ice field to quarrel, right? At this time, the conversation between Moussa and Heller continued. Heller continued what Musa had said. "For some guys who are putting on airs, I feel like there''s some etiquette that''s completely unnecessary." Moussa sneered: "Who are you talking about, the pretentious guy?" "Obviously they are just a group of lunatics following a certain giant beast in the deep sea, but they still have the nerve to call them ''Master'' and ''Holy''?" Heller responded without showing any signs of weakness: "Is a certain sect that believes in glory any better?" "Maybe the guy who doesn''t have faith is an evil **** who wants to destroy the entire world!" "you!" A flash of anger flashed in Musa''s eyes. But just when he was about to continue speaking. Below, the white tentacles seemed to finally be unable to bear the situation of being ignored by the two people, and began to stir wildly. Click...click... The ice continued to break, and white-haired tentacles tore through the ice, soared into the sky, and swept towards Musa and the two. If you look closely, you will find that under those white hairs, there are human faces dripping with blood. Every face has burnt marks, and is filled with extreme pain and hatred. Vaguely, they were still murmuring and cursing. However, neither Musa nor Heller showed any change in their expressions regarding this horrific scene. Musa glanced at the tentacles lightly, and a pale golden light lit up from his eyes. laugh- Two beams of light burst out from his eyes, sweeping through the white tentacles like lasers. Any tentacles that came into contact with the light turned into **** steam in less than half a second. Heller also just waved his hand. Countless black tentacles, darker than the white tentacles, emerged from the shadows, entangled and biting each other with the white tentacles. Black and white colors continue to blend together, and black gradually takes over... (End of chapter) Chapter 342 legendary battle Chapter 342 The Legendary Battle As Moussa and Heller took action together. Most of the tentacles of chaos that were like violent winds and waves were wiped out in an instant. The entire ice sheet suddenly disappeared in just a few seconds. For ordinary people, a situation that is extremely dangerous and insurmountable even if they try their best, in the eyes of these two people, it is like taking a walk in their own back garden. At this time, not only the crew members of the [Black Swan], [Breeze], [Hanyu] and [Dragon Pirate Group] naturally noticed the battle that took place on the ice. When they saw the two people strolling in the air, everyone couldn''t help but look shocked. "Who is that?" "So...so strong!" "Is this pressure coming from a legendary powerhouse?" Thinking of this, people''s eyes became more intense, staring intently at Musa and the two. After all, many of them had never seen a seventh-level legendary mystic before. And now, being able to see the legend''s action up close and personal naturally makes them extremely excited and excited. Soon, everyone also discovered that in the process of solving the white tentacles, the two legendary strong men seemed to be communicating with each other. Someone speculated: "They must be discussing how to deal with this monster, right?" Someone else said: "Maybe we are discussing the causes of these monsters!" However, in fact, Heller and Moussa were just bickering. "Oh, is this the strength of [Apostle Netherworld]?" Musa chuckled and said, "Is it already so difficult to deal with such a filthy thing?" Compared to the way Musa melted the tentacles with light, the dark tentacles summoned by Mr. Heller did not seem to be much stronger than the tentacles with white hair. It presents a somewhat stalemate situation. This will lead to Musa''s sarcasm. Hearing this, Heller just curled his lips and said, "Mr. Bishop, it seems that you are so blind that you didn''t even see what I was really doing." "No wonder Hui Church suffered heavy casualties during the war with the [Truth Society]." After hearing this, Musa''s attitude calmed down and he said calmly. "You are right. In the early days of the declaration of war with the [Truth Society], it was indeed because of my personal contempt and misjudgment that Huijiao suffered unnecessary casualties." "This is a responsibility I cannot shirk, so after this incident is over, I will resign as archbishop and go to a small island to be a teacher." Hearing this, Heller, who had just said something thorny, couldn''t help but fell silent for a moment. Sincerity is the sure winner. He originally wanted to use this to attack Musa''s mentality, but he didn''t expect Musa to admit his mistake frankly and say such things. You know, even ordinary people are often reluctant to admit their mistakes immediately when someone points them out. For those with higher status, they may become angry. Instead of solving the problem, solve the person who asked the problem. As the archbishop of the Hui Sect, Musa was able to be so frank in front of Heller, who disliked him. If you think about it, Heller himself couldn''t do this. Even if it was a performance, it was enough to make him respect him a bit. "Old man, it seems that I underestimated you before." Heller said: "You indeed live up to the name of Archbishop." "However, if you want to retire peacefully, you must first come back alive from the [Far North]." Musa smiled lightly: "Then I won''t bother you to worry." Click! Click click At this moment, the ice below the two men suddenly shook violently, and large spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ice. It is different from the previous situation where many tentacles emerged from the ice. The vibration at this time seemed to come from the deepest part of the ice, as if it was going to tear the entire ice sheet into pieces. At this time, Musa was also keenly aware of something and looked at the ice beneath him. The turbid eyes seemed to be able to see through the broken ice and see a certain existence in the deepest part. "I see." Musa said calmly: "Is this the real dirt that needs to be purified?" at the same time. "Something...is coming out!" "What a terrible smell..." Amidst the exclamations of the spectators on the distant boat, the entire ice sheet continued to bulge upwards, and finally... it collapsed! An indescribably huge thing burst into everyone''s sight from the depths of the ice sea. It was an existence covered with white hair and shaped like a flesh ball. Those white hairs are more like some kind of decayed and entangled mold threads than normal hairs. Just looking at them gives people a feeling of filth. Under the white hair, there is dark pale flesh and countless curling and squirming tentacles. These terrifying limbs stretching for tens of kilometers, together surrounded a half-open and half-closed eye, as if it had just woken up! It also has an indescribable ancient aura about it. It''s like... It has been sleeping under this ice layer for thousands of years, and only reawakened due to some kind of mutation! Just as Shane and Jane had guessed before, the tentacles that drilled out of the ice surface were just part of this huge existence. The moment he saw those eyes, even Xia En couldn''t help but his heart stopped for a beat, and a strong warning signal came from his intuition. There was a solemn expression on his face as he stared at this monster that seemed like it should not appear in reality. This monster brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to Xia En. He could sense that there was still a certain life-level gap between himself and the other person. Similarly, there is such a gap between him and Musa and Heller not far away. It''s just that the two people didn''t fully release their aura, but this monster showed malice and hostility to everyone indiscriminately. Therefore, the impact it brings is stronger. "Is this the legendary realm..." Xia En had some enlightenment in his heart. Although he had met Augustine and Yan Yan, the former was "weakened" by the [Promotion Ritual], while the latter lost his memory and lacked some vital strength. Although Jane has the means to compete with the Legend, she does not seem to have truly reached the seventh level. In other words, today is also the first time that Xia En faces the legend! Moreover, three legendary levels of existence appeared at one time. Xia En had a hunch that after witnessing this legendary battle with his own eyes, he would have a deeper understanding of the Mystic Path and the secret power. Maybe it can help him break through the sixth level barrier as soon as possible. And such a battle would definitely be beneficial to the other crew members. So, Xia En reminded aloud: "Watch carefully and remember their battle in your mind, especially the operation and flow of the secret power." "This will help your future promotions!" Joey and others immediately responded: "Yes, Captain!" In front of this monster, even Xia En felt a little palpitated, not to mention the crew members on other ships. A commotion immediately broke out on several ships. "Then, what is that?" "How can it be so huge? This is too big!" "If we had been on that piece of ice just now, we would have been crushed by it, right?" People were both panicked and a little lucky. Most people looked at the two people in the air worriedly and nervously: "Such a big monster...will they win?" Although people have also seen that Heller is a legendary powerhouse, in terms of size and momentum, this monster with tentacles obviously has the upper hand. On the [Qingfeng], a crew member made a suggestion to Daisy: "Captain Daisy, why don''t you stay away from this ice field now?" "If those two legends lose, it will be too late to leave." Daisy actually had the same idea, but she turned her head and glanced at the [Black Swan] and found Shane standing on the deck, looking seriously at the battlefield in the distance. Daisy keenly read Shane''s attitude towards the First World War. He seems to think...those two legends will definitely win? Daisy was a little surprised. Where did Captain Shane get such confidence? Compared with this monster, the two men were like ants in front of an elephant, looking extremely small. Suddenly, a guess came into Daisy''s mind. Could it be that...Captain Shane actually knows these two legendary powerhouses, right? "hiss" Daisy took a slight breath. Although this guess sounds a bit outrageous, if it is Captain Shane, it is normal. Moreover, this also explains Xia En''s previous performance and his calm confidence at this time. No matter what, it was impossible for Daisy to abandon the Black Swan and leave. She decided to trust Shane''s judgment again and silently looked at the battlefield... "What a big guy." Musa''s expression did not change at all. He glanced at the one-eyed flesh ball calmly and then turned his attention back to Heller. "Are you coming, or am I coming?" After the conversation just now, most of the tense atmosphere between the two people has dissipated. Heller no longer blamed Musa, but said directly. "Leave it to me." Just then. This filthy monster also launched a brutal attack on the two of them. Tentacles all over the sky danced wildly, sweeping towards the two of them. In addition, the huge eye also opened slightly, and an extremely dangerous wave of secret power was escaping from it. Almost at the moment when his giant eyes widened, Xia En narrowed his eyes and pushed his perception to the limit. At this moment, he saw a different method of operating the secret power of the Mystic under the legend. It''s hard to describe this feeling. It''s not like this monster has secret power poured into its gaze, but its gaze itself is a kind of secret power! For ordinary mystics, the secret power is something that resides somewhere in the body and needs to be invoked before it can be used. As for the legendary beings, it seems that they have completed a deeper integration with the secret power? Xia En silently remembered these insights in his heart and continued to watch the situation on the field. In an instant. A gray-white shimmer appeared in the air, approaching Heller straight away. This secret power carries a strong connotation of filth, and seems to be able to assimilate everything into the same existence as itself. It is not difficult to guess that the strange human faces on the tentacles of this monster are the people of the [Great Yan Kingdom] who were brutally killed and assimilated by it! At the same time, this gray light can also be said to be the manifestation of the monster''s gaze. And how can humans capture the speed of light? In less than a blink of an eye, this gray light came to Heller. At this critical moment, Heller raised a smile and casually snapped his fingers. To be precise, he predicted the attack before the gray light appeared and reacted. This created the illusion that his speed exceeded the speed of light. Boom! The moment he snapped his fingers, the color of the gray light suddenly changed. Its color continued to deepen, and in an instant it turned into a deep black like ink. Immediately afterwards, it seemed to lose all its aggression and became docile and obedient. Heller opened his mouth slightly, revealing a set of slightly sharp teeth. Immediately, this black light entered his mouth on its own and was swallowed by him. After chewing for a while, Heller commented with a strange blush on his face. "The taste is a bit off, but it''s not inedible." He actually ate the enemy''s secret power directly! Seeing this scene, Xia En inexplicably thought of his own [Secret Power of the Void]. [Void Secret Power] also has the ability to devour other secret powers, but it is not that difficult to do this in battle. at the same time. The changes in the field are not over yet. After snapping his fingers, black spots suddenly appeared one after another on the body surface of the one-eyed flesh ball monster. If you look closely, you will find that the essence of the black spots are actually pitch-black tentacles! I dont know when, but the tentacles on the monsters body were silently transformed into something similar to [Deep Touch]! Moreover, the other tentacles seem to know nothing about it. They seemed to regard these tentacles of different colors as their own kind, and did not launch any attacks. Seeing this, a flash of light flashed in Musa''s eyes. "Did it turn out that the seeds had been planted just now?" The black spots on the monster''s surface are spreading at an extremely fast speed, occupying nearly one-third of the area in the blink of an eye. Not only that, even a faint black energy began to appear around the huge pupils. In terms of the ability to infect, Heller''s profound power can only be described as terrifying. However, the characteristics of secret power have both advantages and disadvantages. Although Heller can continuously weaken the one-eyed flesh ball, he lacks the ability to kill with one strike. At this time, Musa said: "Then, leave it to me." Before he finished speaking, the elegant old man stretched out his hand, and the warm radiance like the sun began to flow and gather. Gradually, a large sword composed of brilliance formed in his hand. [DivinitySword of Light] This was originally a simple magical technique in Hui Religion, but in Musa''s hands, it showed a stunning style. "cut!" With a soft shout, Musa swung his sword forward. The slender lightsaber spread to a length of dozens of kilometers in an instant, slashing downwards with the power of destroying the world. The next moment, a white line running through the body appeared on the surface of the dirty monster. The eyeball was also split into two. laugh- In the dazzling white light, its body slowly fell to both sides, constantly collapsing. (End of chapter) Chapter 343 【Saint Son of Netherworld】【Angel of Glor Chapter 343 [The Holy Son of Netherworld] [The Divine Envoy of Glory] It''s all been a long story. In fact, the entire process from the emergence of the white tentacles to the destruction of the one-eyed flesh ball did not take more than ten minutes. At this moment, he looked at this stunning sword of light that cut across the ice field. Everyone couldn''t help but hold their breath, and their hearts were shaken. Until they see it with their own eyes, they may not believe that this is something a mystic can do. Although most people have long heard how powerful the legendary powerhouse is, there is also the saying that "if you are not a legend, you are just an ant". However, the impact of hearsay and personal witnessing are completely different. At this point, people realized It turns out that this is the power of the legendary strong man! It turns out that one person''s power can reach such a level! This is the strength of the secret person who stands at the top of this world! Envy, awe, emotion, yearning... Such complex emotions can''t help but arise in people''s hearts. Even Xia En sighed softly in his heart: "There are people outside people, and there are mountains outside mountains." "It seems that I still have a long way to go..." In mid-air, Mr. Heller couldn''t help but curled his lips and muttered: "This old man is really good at stealing the limelight." "No wonder Hui teaches so well in superficial skills." In the battle just now, Heller actually played a big role. Without him to contain and weaken this [filthy creature] hiding under the ice sheet, Musa would not have been able to kill it instantly with one blow. This is the relationship between auxiliary and output. Without any one of them, they would not be able to destroy this monster so easily. In fact, this is one of the reasons for the emergence of this strange pair. When the dazzling lightsaber gradually turned into little rays of light and dispersed, Musa came to Heller and said calmly: "It''s a pleasure to cooperate." Heller snorted coldly, but did not refute, just said instead. "It''s almost time to head to the next marked spot, right?" "One or two of these monsters are fine alone, but if they gather into a wave like the [prophet] said, the situation will be much more troublesome." Musa nodded: "You are right." "but" Musa turned to look at the [Black Swan], a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "I sensed a familiar atmosphere on that ship, and I wanted to pay it a visit first." The perception of the legendary powerhouse is extremely keen, so the first time they came to this ice field, the two of them discovered the [Black Swan] and other ships not far away. But usually, they don''t actually come into contact with these passing ships. Hearing this, Heller raised his eyebrows in surprise. "To think you care so much, I''m a little curious about who that person is." "...Huh?" Suddenly, Heller let out a light sigh and his expression became a little serious. "What is this aura?" He looked at Musa in surprise and murmured to himself: "Could it be that the person we are looking for is the same person?" "No, no, no...this is impossible no matter how you say it, right?" Afterwards, Heller took a step forward regardless of Moussa''s reaction. The whole figure seemed to turn into a swimming shadow. Just a few breaths. He appeared above the [Black Swan]. "What''s the meaning?" Musa quickly sensed some strange meanings from Heller''s words, so not to be outdone, he also turned into a stream of light and approached the [Black Swan] in an instant. The actions of the two people immediately aroused exclamations from everyone on several ships. "W-what''s going on?" "Those two legendary strong men are coming to us? And they seem to be in a hurry..." "What do they want to do?" Seeing the two figures, black and white, approaching rapidly, everyone''s breathing quickened. Just when they were watching from a distance, they felt a strong sense of oppression. I once again witnessed a secret technique that seemed to be able to destroy the world. At this time, it was about to get up close and personal with the two legends. Not to mention the ordinary crew members, even the Daisy siblings, Lewis and others were a little unable to maintain a normal mentality and seemed a little nervous. What makes everyone even more confused and curious is. What do these two legends want to do when they come to the Black Swan? Apart from Musa and Heller, Xian is probably the only one who knows the answer to this question. Soon, Heller was the first to descend on the deck of the [Black Swan]. Looking at Xia En not far away, he said gently. "Captain Shane, it is indeed you." "haven''t seen you for a long time." When he said this, Heller''s attitude was gentle and courteous, like a true gentleman. It was very different from the previous attitude towards Musa. Aside from his slightly dark temperament and weird appearance, he looked no different from an ordinary nobleman. Seeing his attitude and hearing his words, the people nearby who were paying attention to Heller couldn''t help but widen their eyes in surprise. Is this legendary strong man an old acquaintance of Captain Shane? Is he here for Captain Shane? ! Moreover, everyone also noticed that Heller''s attitude towards Xia En was very equal, even with a bit of respect? You know, due to the huge strength gap between legendary strongmen and ordinary secretaries. The former''s attitude towards the latter will inevitably be a little arrogant and indifferent. Even if the legendary strongman himself is not aware of it, it will always show up in some inadvertent places. This is just like how extraordinary beings treat ordinary people. Although both are still human beings, the gap between them may be even greater than that between creatures of different species. Generally speaking, legends will only talk on an equal footing when facing legends. If Shane and Heller were old acquaintances, this equal attitude would be understandable, but where does this respect come from? Everyone was puzzled. Shane also has no obligation to explain to people, he looked at Heller and said. "Are you...the Heller I know?" "With all due respect, the difference between you seems a bit too big." Heller said with a smile: "As expected of Captain Shane, he really has a good eye!" "Actually, the person I met you before was just a clone of me." While speaking, a deep tentacle protruded from the hem of his clothes. In the blink of an eye, this tentacle squirmed and transformed into a being that looked exactly like Heller. With the same smile on his face, he stared at Shane along with Heller. However, the aura on his body was much weaker than that of Heller. The two said together: "Although we are clones, our memories are shared." "So no matter which Heller is, it is actually me, but there are certain differences in personality and strength." This scene looked quite horrifying, but Xia En''s face remained calm and enlightenment arose in his heart. With the size of the Seven Seas, each sect must have its own means to achieve rapid transmission of information. The Hui Sects [Glory Land] is a method. "Mr. Heller" who has many clones is also a method. His clones may have long been like countless tentacles, spread throughout the seven seas, uniting the many believers of the [Youshu Sect] together in this strange way. Just imagining that situation gave Xia En a chill in his heart. He is indeed a legendary powerhouse! It is indeed the [Netherworld Sect] that has lasted for thousands of years! An ancient esoteric religion like this obviously still has its own foundation. After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En said: "Anyway, thank you for your help last time." Heller smiled and said: "Captain Shane made a strong statement, that''s what I should do." "Besides, I really saw the right person." "It has only been a short time, but Captain Xia En''s strength has already advanced by leaps and bounds to this point..." Regardless of the flattery, Heller was indeed quite surprised. The last time the clone met Xia En, the other person was just a third-level Mystic Pathfinder. Not to mention his own body, even his clone is far stronger than Xia En. But now, in less than a year, Xia En has entered the category of fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder. And in Heller''s opinion, his aura is even more powerful than the average sixth-level mystic. This kind of promotion speed can only be described as an exaggeration! Heller was also called a genius among geniuses back then, but compared to Shane''s breakthrough speed, he could only be regarded as slow. He sighed with emotion: "Sure enough... he is indeed the predicted Son." Hearing this, Xia En''s expression suddenly felt strange. "Huh? The prophesied Son?" Why does this title sound so familiar to him? The [Moon-Yong Clan] on [Sand Island] also called themselves this. Moreover, the [Yongyue Clan] believes in the Hui Sect, and Heller is a key figure in the [Netherworld Sect]. Why do both sects regard themselves as the Son of God? Who left this prophecy? Xia En couldn''t help but complain in his heart. When he was about to ask Heller about the prophecy, the streamer wrapped in Musa had also arrived at the [Black Swan]. Musa took a step forward and stepped out of the light. His wise eyes scanned the people on the boat, as if he was looking for something. Soon, his eyes were fixed on Xia En. After hesitating for a moment, Musa asked. "Are you [Black Light]?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. He was not too surprised to be recognized by Heller. After all, Xia En had previously felt that Heller would help him, and there must be some deeper reason. But facing the archbishop in white, whose identity was revealed by one word as "[Black Light]", Xia En felt inexplicably flustered. After all, he was not a genuine follower of the Hui Cult, he only got the [Hui Yao Crystal Mirror] by chance. Shane even falsely delivered an "oracle" in front of Musa, which became the trigger for the war between the three secret sects. Therefore, Musa suddenly came to the door and confronted him on the spot. Xia En inevitably feels like being "opened offline". Fortunately, Xia En has experienced so many things and has long developed a mentality of not being afraid of danger. Although he was a little panicked, he didn''t show it at all on his face. Instead, he looked as steady as an old dog and said calmly. "Yes, it''s me." "really" Musa nodded: "The light of your soul is very special. Once you see it once, you will never forget it." "I just noticed your light and rushed over." "I didn''t expect you to be so young in real life..." As soon as these words came out, the crew members on other ships once again made a small uproar. "Not only the black-haired man from before, but also this legend, is he here for Captain Shane?" "Wait...I seem to have some impression of him..." One of them actually recognized Musa''s identity and exclaimed: "He, he is the archbishop of the old sect!" "Hiss! Archbishop..." Most people don''t know much about Hui Religion, but they have often been to the [Deep Sea Church], so they are still very clear about the value of the position of "Archbishop". Previously, Musa''s deeds of cutting through the ice sheet with one sword also supported this statement from the side. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Jane''s eyes couldn''t help but flicker, and she murmured in her heart. "One [Netherworld Sect], one Hui Sect, and the previous [Truth Society]..." "Captain Shane, how many secret sects are you connected to?" at the same time. Heller couldn''t help but frown slightly: "[Black Light]?" He asked, looking back and forth between Musa and Xia En suspiciously. "You... know each other?" "Um?" Musa was vaguely aware of the weirdness of the matter, but he was the Archbishop of Hui Sect after all, so he still said calmly. "Yes, let me introduce to you. This is our Hui Sect''s [Hui Yao Divine Envoy], codenamed [Black Light]." "ah?" Heller was stunned for a moment, extremely puzzled. You old man, why are you leading someone to rob someone? Xia En is clearly the holy son of their [Youshu Sect], how did he become the divine envoy of Hui Sect? However, Heller did not say this out of the blue. He looked at Xia En, and after thinking hard, he came to a conclusion. Xia En did not really convert to the Hui religion. The reason why he was regarded as a divine messenger must be because of the characteristics related to the gods in him. Maybe he just wanted to lurk in the Hui Sect and spy on their core intelligence! If he exposes the identity of the Holy Son, it will ruin Xia En''s original plan. Thinking of this, Heller''s thoughts instantly became clear. He said half complaining and half jokingly: "Old man, I didn''t expect that we are so destined. This Captain Xia En is my old friend whom I met before." "I was preparing to develop him into the [Netherworld Sect], but I didn''t expect that you would get in first." "Um!?" Upon hearing this, Musa immediately became alert and said to Shane. "Sir [Black Light], you have to stay away from this guy. They believe in the [Deep Lord] sleeping in the deep sea and try to wake it up." "You must not go astray!" The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. He noticed Heller''s winking expression at this time, as if to say, "Captain Shane, what do you think of my acting skills?" However, because Xia En didn''t really believe in any god, he didn''t want to continue on this topic, so he asked instead. "Speaking of which, why are you two here?" (End of chapter) Chapter 344 The wave is coming, [the dead come back Chapter 344 The wave is coming, [the dead come back to life? When it came to business, Musa and Heller also looked serious. Musa said: "You should already know about the temporary reconciliation between [Hui Sect], [Youshu Sect] and [Truth Society], right?" Xia En had already heard about this in [The Land of Glory], so he nodded and said, "Yes." "In fact, our temporary reconciliation this time is to solve the upcoming crisis of annihilation." Musa continued: "During the original peace talks, the three major esoteric sects even made a bet." "Which sect made the greatest contribution in this incident will get the list of core members of the other two major sects." Hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly. "Bet...list...contribution?" "Otherwise, it''s easy to say, but how do you judge your contribution?" Heller on the side replied: "[Truth Machine] - this is the name we give to the machine that [Truth Society] believes in." "It is an absolutely objective and cold machine, with characteristics similar to [The Will of the Secret Sea]." "It will make an accurate judgment based on the final outcome." Xia En nodded: "That''s it." He still had some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. After all, even if the [Truth Machine] itself was reliable, did the [Truth Society] really not have the back-up to control the machine? Xia En had a vague feeling that [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] would agree to this bet, and there might be some hidden secrets that he didn''t know about. However, now that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, it does not make much sense to delve into these details. "In these days, our sect has also sent a large number of elites to the [Far North]." "In order to resolve this disaster as soon as possible, we proactively contacted the Federal Navy and were told-" Musa paused and continued: "In the [Far North], there are a large number of monsters like the ones just now, and it is difficult for ordinary mystics to kill them." "Only those who master the secret power can kill it completely." "Especially priests and priests of various sects are extremely scarce and precious under such circumstances." "Actually, [Deep Sea Church], [Steam Church] and other secret sects have also sent out their backbones and elites. Even so, the manpower is still very insufficient." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. Just as Jane said - only the power of gods can fight against gods. In order to eliminate the traces of pollution left by [Huisiming] on this ice sheet, various local sects in [Seven Seas World] undoubtedly played a big role. Heller added: "At the request of the current commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] Moritz." "The manpower of our two factions have been organized into various teams of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] to deal with these difficult monsters." "As for those of us who are Mystics above Legend, we are divided into groups of varying numbers and act individually to kill the more powerful ones among the monsters." "Just like the existence made of the tentacles just now." Obviously, although the legendary mystics may not have a **** they believe in, they probably have the means to kill [filthy creatures]. After all, Xia En can comprehend the existence of [Secret Power of the Void] at the fifth level, and every legend must have his own unique secret technique. As for why Heller was grouped with Moussa. Except for the fact that the two people are similar in strength. The more important reason is probably that Commander Moritz of the Far North Expeditionary Force hopes that they can supervise each other and check and balance each other to avoid causing any trouble at this critical moment. Through the two people''s explanations, Xia En also had a deeper understanding of the situation in the [Far North] at this time. However, he still has a lot of things he doesn''t understand. Xia En simply asked directly: "Is the [Far North Expeditionary Force] taking the initiative to eliminate these [filthy creatures]?" To be honest, it was just what Xia En saw along the way. There are not too many [Far North Expeditionary Force] fighting against [Filthy Creatures]. After all, most of these [Filthy Creatures] are hiding in ruins under the ice. If you stay vigilant, it is entirely possible to avoid the area where these [Filthy Creatures] are located. But from what Musa and the two said, it seemed that Commander Moritz was ordering them to take the initiative to exterminate the [filthy creatures] on the ice sheet? Why is this? Musa nodded and said, "That''s right." He explained: "The reason why Moritz issued such an order was because of the prediction given by a [great prophet] in the legendary realm." "These weird monsters are about to break through the ice sheet and launch an attack on the base of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "At that time, a wave of monsters will form." "And based on our observations during this period, we found that monsters do have such a trend." "Although their movement speed is still very limited, there is indeed a group of monsters gathering towards the north." Shane immediately remembered the movements of these tentacles not long ago. The direction they are heading is also the northernmost point, as if... something is calling them. Heller also said seriously: "Instead of waiting for such a wave of monsters to form, it is better to take the initiative and eliminate as many monsters as possible." Xia En nodded and said: "That''s it." His previous guess actually came true! But if you think about it carefully, the reason why these [filthy creatures] are gathering at the base of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is. Maybe its because the [Far North Expeditionary Force] discovered a way to solve the crisis of annihilation. In order to prevent this from happening, the [Filthy Creatures] will gradually become restless. Thinking of this, Xia En asked again: "Is this glacier the source of the second world-destroying flood?" Musa said with a flash of strange color in his eyes. "As expected of His Excellency [Black Light], you can even see this." "In fact, the second great flood can be called the aftermath of the first great flood..." Soon, Musa told Shane about the secrets of the "World-Destroying Flood" that he knew, which was basically the same as Shane''s previous deduction. The slight difference is... Musa said: "In fact, at first, King Xin did seem to have successfully sealed the first world-destroying flood." "But for some unknown reason, the seal was suddenly broken. This caused King Xin''s arrangement to fall short, causing the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] to be destroyed." "This glacier is actually just the remaining effectiveness of the seal." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be moved. He thought that King Xin would only seal this part of the flood from the beginning, but he did not expect that King Xin had successfully sealed the first major flood. The concepts of these two are completely different. This even means that King Xin has truly defeated that [Humi Siming] once in a certain field! However, what makes Xia En curious is what happened in the past history that caused King Xin''s seal to be broken, causing all success to fail. Is it [Husi Ming]''s move? Or the backstab of [Black Flame Walker]? Or maybe there are other reasons... This question can probably only be answered when he meets Yan Yan again. Since King Xin was mentioned, Xia En naturally asked about his whereabouts. "Do you know where King Xin is now?" "Huh? Why are you so interested in King Xin?" Heller glanced at Xia En strangely and asked curiously. "I wanted to ask before, why do you and your ship have such a strong smell of ''embers''?" "It seems there are a few more [Black Flame Walkers], right?" When he said this, Heller''s eyes swept over Irina and Sergey, obviously recognizing their identities. "The scent of embers?" Upon hearing this statement, Xia En was slightly stunned at first, but he soon came to his senses. It''s like his [Secret Power of the Void] has extremely special properties and aura. King Xin''s secret power obviously also has its own unique characteristics. For ordinary people on the secret path, they may not be able to sense the residue of such secret power. But to fellow legends Heller and Musa, it is as eye-catching as the moon in the night sky. Seeing that the two of them had revealed a lot of secrets, Xia En had nothing to hide. Instead, he briefly introduced the past between himself and Yan Yan. Among them, the fact that [Princess Dayan] was also on his ship was also hidden. Although Heller and I can basically be trusted, the matter of [Princess Dayan] is a bit sensitive after all, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. After listening to Xia En''s story, Heller and Musa couldn''t help showing surprised expressions. "There is such a thing." Heller patted Xia En on the shoulder: "You are so lucky, you are a bit invincible!" Musa said: "No wonder you want to know the whereabouts of King Xin, but unfortunately, we don''t know where King Xin is." "It is said that there seems to be some kind of change in [Black Flame Walker]. King Xin should be dealing with it, right?" Heller touched his chin: "I heard that the [Truth Society] seems to have intervened in the internal fighting of the [Black Flame Walker]... I don''t know whether it is true or not." "Um?" Hearing this, Xia En immediately became alert: "[Truth Society]?!" Its no wonder that he had such a big reaction, it was really because what the [Truth Society] did was so evil and weird, even worse than the [Hui Sect] and the [Yousu Sect]. So much so that Xia En had a bad feeling just by hearing this name. Not to mention that at this time, the [Truth Society] also intervened in the affairs of the [Black Flame Walker]. He quickly asked: "What''s going on?" Heller scratched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "I actually don''t know the specific situation." "After all, after the peace talks, it is equivalent to signing a non-aggression pact between us, and we cannot obtain information by tortured members of the other party." Xia En said sincerely: "No matter what the situation is, please tell me in detail." Hearing this, Heller straightened his expression and said. "I only know that unlike us who chose to cooperate with the Federal Navy, the [Truth Society] should decide to join forces with King Xin to solve the imminent disaster." "Perhaps this is also to avoid contact with the personnel of our two religions." This is easy to understand. It hasn''t been long since the ceasefire between the three major esoteric cults, and there must be deep hatred among the members. If they were all placed in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], a serious conflict might break out. - Just like the war between Xia En and the vampires. Separating and keeping a certain distance is obviously a wise decision. "Last time, I saw members of the [Truth Society] hanging out with some [Black Flame Walkers]." "It seems that he also said words like ''resurrection'', ''rebellion'' and ''fight against King Xin''." After saying that, Heller looked at Irina and the two: "Do you have any impression of this and the [Truth Society]?" Irina shook her head in confusion: "[Truth Society], what is that?" Sergey''s pupils shrank: "Resurrection? Are those rebels thinking?" Xia En frowned and vaguely guessed something. After thinking for a moment, he asked Heller again: "Excuse me, is there a secret technique to resurrect others in this world?" "It doesn''t exist." Musa said categorically: "People cannot be resurrected after death. This can be regarded as one of the iron laws of our world." "Although there are secret techniques in the world that can heal fatally injured people at great cost." "But strictly speaking, it is only a type of healing technique, not a true resurrection." Xia En asked curiously: "What about necromancy and necromancers?" Musa explained: "The secret art of the necromantic system is just pieced together with the remaining souls in the corpse and mixed with the secret power to form an existence." "Compared with their former selves, they are already two completely different individuals." To use an analogy, the living is like a tree that thrives. "The undead awakened through necromancy are like the flames and black smoke produced when the tree is burned after it is cut down." Finally, Moussa said in an unusually sure tone. "The so-called ''resurrection'' of the [Truth Society] must be just a deception to deceive people." At this time, Jane, who had been listening before, also stepped forward and spoke seriously. "That''s right, Captain Shane, the real [Resurrection of the Dead] does not exist." "I have tried several times, but the final result was hopeless failure." Jane looked at Xia En seriously, with complexity and pain in her eyes, and sighed. "Don''t pursue resurrecting others, that will only make people miserable." Xia En fell silent slightly. He could feel the complicated past revealed in Jane''s words. As an immortal species, Jane must have seen countless joys and sorrows in her life. Perhaps, there are also things she wants to save. It seemed particularly convincing for her to say this. After noticing Jane''s voice, Musa and Heller showed surprised expressions again. They all noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar temperament from this gray-haired woman. "[Truth Society?]" Musa said in surprise. "No, no, you don''t have the fanaticism of ordinary [Truth Society] members..." But soon, he suddenly felt that the outline of Jane''s facial features looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. After a moment, Musa said in surprise. "Ms. Jane? Is that you?" (End of chapter) Chapter 345 The missing [King]! Arrive at the [Far N Chapter 345 The missing [King]! Arrive at the [Far North Expeditionary Force Station]! "It''s me." Jane nodded and said with a little emotion: "I didn''t expect you to still remember me." "The little boy back then has grown so big." "Of course I remember!" Musa said seriously: "It is precisely because of your guidance, Ms. Jane, that I am on the right path." "It can be said that without you, I would not be where I am today." After hearing this conversation, Xia En''s expression suddenly felt strange. It turns out that there is still such a past between Jane and Musa. Maybe this is the benefit of living long enough. As long as you live long enough, you will always be able to personally experience and witness the occurrence of some major historical events, or have contact with some important figures. On the other side, Mr. Heller also thought of something through Jane''s unique temperament and said. "Could it be that you are the one with the eighth [Truth Number]..." "Mrs. Serenity?" At the same time that Heller spoke, there was a burst of noise in the ears of the people around him, making it impossible to understand the content of this sentence. This is a protection mechanism set up by Jane to prevent her identity from being revealed. But when he heard this question, Musa frowned suddenly and gave Heller a rare and angry look. "Can this kind of question be asked in this situation?" "Do you have any bad intentions?" Heller also realized that the question he asked was somewhat inappropriate, and said to Jane sincerely. "Ms. Jane, I''m sorry, I was careless." He glanced at Musa strangely again: "But old man, why are you so concerned about this lady''s affairs?" "Hiss... is it you?" Musa said calmly: "Hui Religion has never prohibited members from marrying. Rather, our teachings have always supported believers in pursuing their own happiness." "Ahem...ahem!" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help coughing. At this moment, he could completely understand what Musa meant. It seems that the archbishop is not just a simple old friend, but also has some special feelings for Jane? Combined with the few words just said. Musa appears to have met Jane as a young boy. At that time, there was a high probability that Jane was not in the silver-haired appearance, but in the form of a royal sister? Will the little boy and the big sister meet again after so many years? Do you think this plot looks familiar? Jane glanced at Xia En, who was not too worried about the excitement, and then said seriously. "Sorry, Mr. Moussa, I didn''t have any idea in that regard." When she said this, Jane''s tone was already slightly distant. "As for my identity, I ask you two to conceal it for me." "Well, that''s it, I''m going to rest." After that, Jane stopped lingering on the deck and turned directly back to the cabin. "Ms. Jane..." Musa originally wanted to say something, but seeing Jane''s determined attitude, he had to swallow his words again. He glared at Heller with slight dissatisfaction. If Heller hadn''t made it clear, maybe he wouldn''t have been rejected so directly. Heller smiled awkwardly and said, "Old man, your road to pursuing happiness will probably be very bumpy." "I have also heard of that lady''s name. She can allow the [Truth Society] to pursue her for hundreds of years, but she is still safe and sound." "As long as she has made up her mind, it doesn''t matter if you are the Archbishop of Hui Jiao." Musa said calmly: "I know." From Jane''s reaction, he had already anticipated the upcoming difficulties. But after all, he is a legendary strongman who has sat in the position of archbishop. His heart is extremely firm in seeking the truth, and he has tenacious faith and will. Naturally, he will not give up so easily. "Your Excellency [Black Light], it seems that we will meet again in the future." After exchanging information again. Suddenly, Musa narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the distant ice field. "Another legendary [Filthy Creature]?" After some exchanges with Xia En, both Musa also recognized the title [Filthy Creature]. Not only him, Heller also sensed the fluctuations coming from that direction, and said with a solemn expression. "During this period, they have really become active visible to the naked eye." "The number of [filthy creatures] awakening from under the glacier is gradually increasing." Obviously, this is not good news. This means that the reinforcements of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] will have to make a lot of sacrifices just to reach the headquarters in the [Far North]. Moreover, this is more and more consistent with the situation predicted by the legendary prophet. A wave of [filthy creatures] is gathering among the glaciers and under the ice sea. "The undercurrent is surging..." Xia En restrained his previous mood of watching the excitement and looked a little solemn. He could already feel the oppressive aura of impending mountain rain, shrouding the entire [Far North] like a shadow. "Stop talking about that, we are going to destroy that [Filthy Creature]." Heller looked at Shane and said. "By the way, your destination should also be the station of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "In that case, why not let me give you a ride." Xia En also wanted to reach the location of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] as soon as possible, so he was not polite to Heller and said: "Mr. Heller, I''ll leave it to you." "good." Heller nodded, and then his body floated in mid-air, looking at the sea in front of the [Black Swan]. In the process, one of his eyes was gradually dyed completely black. It is like a deep whirlpool that is constantly rotating, and like a black hole that swallows everything. Immediately, a whirlpool with strange and mysterious power gradually formed in the sea water. Xia En could tell at a glance that this was exactly the same as the "teleportation vortex" that sent the [Black Swan] to the [Cold Sea]. However, the accuracy and scope of this vortex are much better than the previous ones, as it is cast by Heller''s body. "Let''s go!" Xia En turned his head and gave an order to the captain of the "Qingfeng" and other ships. "Follow me! I''ll take you to the headquarters of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]!" After saying that, he took the lead in driving the [Black Swan] into the whirlpool. "Captain Shane?" Seeing the [Black Swan] being swallowed up by the whirlpool and disappearing, Daisy and her brother couldn''t help but look shocked. But in the end, trust in Shane defeated the uneasiness about the unknown, and they quickly followed and sailed into the whirlpool. The biggest commotion occurred on several ships of the [Dragon Pirate Group]. But Lewis had long been impressed by Xia En''s various deeds, coupled with Nana''s urging. Therefore, they did not hesitate for long and quickly plunged into the whirlpool. And after several ships were sent away. Above this sea of ??ice, only Musa and Heller were left. Compared with when they were in front of Xia En and others, the expressions of the two of them were visibly serious, even a little serious. This attitude is completely different from the previous relaxed state when facing the one-eyed flesh ball. Musa glanced at Heller and said, "Sure enough, you also sensed that big guy." "Is that why you sent them away early?" Heller nodded: "That guy... I''m afraid even you and I can''t deal with him, right?" In fact, just as Shane guessed, Musa and Heller were not ordinary seventh-level legends. Their ranks are already at the eighth level! And for an existence that can make two eighth-level experts secretly fearful, one can imagine how powerful the other party is. Musa asked: "Want to take a look?" Heller nodded: "Of course!" "If such a guy is allowed to wander in the [Far North], I''m afraid the [Far North Expeditionary Force] will be completely destroyed soon, right?" "At least...restrict its movements." A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Musa with a smile. "Old man, didn''t you just find Ms. Jane? Are you sure you want to come with us?" Musa said calmly: "It is Hui''s duty to purify the filth in the world." "As for Jane...if the world is destroyed, how can we talk about the future and happiness?" "let''s go." After saying that, Musa took a step forward, his figure turned into a stream of light again, and approached the direction from which the terrifying aura came. Heller hid in the shadow cast by the streamer without saying a word, and followed closely behind. It''s not just Musa. At the moment when the terrifying aura awakened, several legendary strong men in the [Far North] were vaguely aware of it. A shirtless old man raised his head in the ice field, laughed heartily and then jumped up. The entire glacier was shattered by his step. A handsome captain calmed the crew behind him, opened a door, and disappeared. There was also a lady in gorgeous clothes who chuckled and gently crushed the gem in her hand. Most of them made the same decision and headed in the direction where the terrifying aura spread. And when the white light and black light representing Musa and Heller arrived near the terrifying aura. They saw... A huge and slender warship! On the coating as cold as metal, the [Star Wave] logo with stars and waves coexisting is drawn. Weird rust and filth were spread throughout every corner of the ship, as if it had been abandoned for thousands of years. Musa recognized the two at a glance. This is the [King] that has been missing for a long time! What surprised the two of them was that the terrifying aura that they sensed beyond ordinary legends also escaped from this steel warship. And in the sky above the [King], there was still a figure burning with flames. He wears a red and black crown on his head, and rides a six-legged flaming horse with a mane like fire. Behind him, a dark red cloak made of flames was rustling in the cold wind. Even if he didn''t speak or move, just staying in mid-air would attract everyone''s attention. Seeing this man, whether it was Musa or Heller, there was a feeling of being suffocated. It was as if his eyes were about to be burned just by looking at the flame. "Salary King..." Heller narrowed his eyes slightly and spit out the name. Of course, Heller had heard about the news about the reappearance of King Xin. But to be honest, he still has a slight contempt for this king of the old era. After all, nowadays, various secret arts and technologies have developed with the times to a new peak. An old antique like King Xin, even in his prime, may not be a match for a modern Mystic of the same level. What''s more, after sleeping for such a long time, King Xin''s strength may have greatly diminished. However, after seeing King Xin with his own eyes, Heller discovered... My previous thoughts were totally wrong! Just standing in front of him, Heller felt an extremely heavy pressure. The king of the old era is still the king! The contempt in Heller''s heart disappeared, replaced by solemnity and vigilance. Some [Black Flame Walkers] chose to rebel due to some unknown purpose. So, which side is the current salary king on? Right now. King Xin opened his eyes, and there seemed to be hot flames beating in his eyes, and dark red lava flowing in them. He also said his first words after meeting the two: "You guys are finally here..." at the same time. A vast sea of ??ice. Ships such as the Black Swan and the Breeze appeared one after another on the sea full of ice floes. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply by several degrees compared to before. The sky is a vast gray, and the dim skylight is hidden behind the clouds. The cold sea breeze blew across the deck. "This, this is?" Daisy on the [Qingfeng] stood firm and looked around in surprise. Suddenly, a sailor exclaimed: "Island! There is an island there!" Everyone looked in the direction they were pointing and saw a huge island on the blue ice sea. Unlike the ice sheets we encountered before, there seemed to be real soil and ground on this island. And Xia En had done his homework before coming. That island is obviously the [Ultra North Island] located in the center of [Ultra North Land]. Thousands of years ago, there was actually no so-called [Ultra North Island], only this vast [Ultra North Land]. It was only because of the arrival of the great flood and the freezing of the glaciers that this island was left at the highest point of the [Far North]. Looking from a distance, it seems that there are many man-made fortifications on the island, and there are warships docked on the coastline. In the more core area of ??the island, there is a stretch of snow-capped mountains and glaciers that are breathtaking. Under those glaciers, there may also be hidden [filthy creatures] that we encountered before. "That should be the current location of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." Shane quickly made a judgment and drove the [Black Swan] closer to the island. As he got closer, Xia En discovered that the island was much larger than he expected. In other words, in the other three directions, the sea surface is replaced by thick ice. As a result, the [Ultra North Island] is connected to a large glacier, making it impossible to tell them apart. It didn''t take long. The [Black Swan] led several ships to the coast. Soon, a group of soldiers wearing thick navy uniforms came to greet them. The leading soldier asked. "It''s the captain of the [Black Swan], Mr. Shane, right?" Xia En was a little surprised, but he responded directly: "It''s me." The soldier continued: "Please follow me, Captain Carles is already waiting for you." (End of chapter) Chapter 346 Goodbye Carles! The ghost of a country! Chapter 346 Goodbye Carles! The ghost of a country! When he heard the name Carles, Shane suddenly became energetic. It is a joy in itself to hear a familiar name in this strange [Ultra North Island]. What''s more, on the way here, Shane was worried about Carles'' safety. As the first batch of reinforcements to arrive in the Far North, Carles and others must have faced an extremely difficult situation. It is undoubtedly a joy to hear the news that Carles is still safe and sound. It didn''t take long. Under the leadership of this officer, Xia En and his party passed through a temporary iron-gray defense line and officially entered the [Far North Expeditionary Force] station. Behind the fortifications made of metal and ice are artillery pieces with advanced styles and extremely large calibers. The black muzzle, the streamlined barrel made of steel, and the strange patterns carved on the surface of the gun... all give people a faint sense of oppression and threat. One can imagine what an astonishing sight it will be once this steel behemoth wakes up and reveals its fangs. Xia En had never seen this type of magic pattern cannon several times on [Liu Li Island]. Obviously, in order to deal with this disaster, federal officials really came up with many good things that were at the bottom of the box. They are the creations that condense the essence of the most advanced technology and secret arts of this era! Xia En couldn''t help but think that Feiya would be very excited if she saw this kind of heavy artillery, right? Fei Ya has a mysterious love for this type of guns, and he is often responsible for the maintenance of the Black Swan''s guns. However, after thinking about it, Xia En was a little worried. In such an extreme environment as the Far North, many equipment designed to operate at normal temperatures will undoubtedly be affected a lot. Can these heavy artillery really fire normally? "Um?" Thinking of this, Xia En glanced at these artillery pieces strangely. Only then did he realize that instead of ice crystals condensing on the surface of these cannons, there was actually a stream of steam coming out? What''s going on? After taking a closer look, Xia En suddenly realized. It turned out that under the magic pattern cannon, there was a layer of steam pipes emitting high temperature. The temperature escaping from the pipes fights against the cold air, allowing these heavy artillery to remain in normal working condition and ready to fire. Noticing Xia En''s gaze, the officer leading the way took the initiative to speak. "For this expedition, the Federation mobilized a large number of priests and mechanics from the Church of Steam and spent a lot of effort to meet the basic heating needs on the [Far North Island]." Xia En nodded: "That''s it." "That''s still hard work." Speaking of which, although Xia En has a close relationship with Feiya and Carles, his understanding of the Church of Steam is quite limited, and he has never even been to a church of the Church of Steam. So at this time, he also had some curiosity about this church that he had not had before. In addition to the heavy artillery cluster, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] station also has tanks and groups of soldiers. Further away, there are tents connected one after another, and the barracks are connected into one piece. Obviously, that was the camp where the expeditionary force temporarily lived. However, the residence of the federal navy is obviously divided into two areas with the reinforcements from other forces. Otherwise, if they are mixed together, it will become more difficult to manage. And soon, Xia En noticed that the chariots and soldiers passing by were all in a hurry and had solemn expressions. Some camps seemed particularly empty, and the people inside seemed to have been sent out to perform some kind of mission. It felt to Xia En as if something big had happened, causing quite a commotion in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. Seeing this, Xia En simply asked the officer leading the way. "What happened?" The officer hesitated for a moment and then said: "Just now, several legendary strongmen in the camp suddenly left and headed in the same direction." "It is speculated above that an extremely powerful enemy appeared in the [Far North], which made the legendary powerhouses choose to attack together." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but change his face slightly. "A very powerful enemy?" Just imagining an enemy that can allow so many legendary strong men to take action at the same time makes people feel chilly in their hearts. At this time, Shane quickly thought of Musa and Heller''s strange reactions. Integrate with this message. It is not difficult to guess that the reason why Heller sent them off in advance was probably related to that powerful enemy. It was done to protect them. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression became more solemn. It can be said that Musa and Heller are already the strongest people Xia En has seen except Yan Yan and Augustine. However, even the two of them did not have much confidence when facing the unknown enemy. This is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. "What exactly could that enemy be?" Xia En secretly guessed in his heart: "It''s impossible for [Huisi Ming] to take action himself, right?" "Could it be the [Apostle of Dirt and Chaos]?" "Or is it a [filthy creature] sleeping under the ice?" However, it is obviously impossible to know the truth just by guessing. Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and quickly followed the officer''s footsteps. Not long after. The group of people came to a special barracks. This barracks is obviously taller and better sealed. The walls seem to be made of some kind of special metal with extraordinary secret power. Seeing the group of people approaching, the guard at the door of the barracks said immediately. "Captain Shane, please wait a moment." "Captain Carles is undergoing maintenance and commissioning." Xia En nodded: "Okay." While waiting, Xia En silently observed the soldiers coming and going nearby. To his surprise, the soldiers showed great respect for Carles'' barracks. Occasionally, he looked into the room with a hint of awe. Precisely because of Carles'' order, they were very polite to Xia En and others, without any arrogance. Shane originally thought this was related to the identities of Daisy''s siblings. But now it seems like they only did it because of "Carles". This had to make Shane feel a little curious. After all, in the federal navy, the military position of "captain" is not too high. Even among the soldiers who came and went, there were many lieutenants and second lieutenants, but they all showed a sincere attitude towards Carles and obeyed his words. This seems extremely weird. Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this. laugh- Accompanied by the sound of gushes of steam, the door to the barracks slowly opened. What rushed towards me was a large white ball of hot steam. The temperature of the steam quickly dissipates the chill around you and brings a sense of warmth to people. And in the vast steam, a slender and straight figure slowly walked out. "Captain Shane, we finally meet again." The voice of the royal sister that Carles was familiar with came out from the steam first. However, after seeing her appearance at this moment, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. Behind Xia En, Daisy couldn''t help but let out an exclamation. "Carles, you, your hands..." At this time, Carles''s entire right arm was no longer the slender and graceful style before, but had become extremely rough and brutal. It is at least three or four times larger than before, making it look a bit bulky. The color of this right arm also turned dark black, mixed with some ice blue and dark red blood. The entire robotic arm was incompatible with Carles'' body and looked extremely uncoordinated. It seems that it has undergone some kind of violent modification that seems to disregard coordination and durability. Not only that, there are many scars and traces of transformation on Carles'' body. Compared to the last time we met, she installed more than twice the number of steam cores and replaced most of the components. More steam cores not only mean greater power and strength, but they also bring a greater burden to Carles. When this burden reaches a certain level, it may even cause Carles to be completely scrapped, and the soul contained in the steam armor will also disappear. The previous strengthening of Carles has always been a step-by-step process. It is for this reason. Ordinary machinery may be permanently damaged due to overload, let alone a unique life form like Carles. In Xia En''s eyes, Carles''s aura has now exceeded the sixth level and is approaching the legend. But this state is obviously extremely unstable. An inappropriate metaphor. This is like the magic method in the novel about cultivating immortals. The short-term strength improvement is extremely rapid, but it will bring extremely serious sequelae. Not to mention the unstable state, he may even collapse and die at any time. Feeling Xia En''s gaze, Carles felt a little guilty for no reason, but he still pretended to be nonchalant, waved his hand and said. "The last time I fought with a big guy, I accidentally broke my hand, so I had to use this arm to replace it." "It''s a bit ugly, but it''s still useful. It''s much more powerful than the one I had before." Shane frowned and said, "It''s not the arm I want to ask about." "Why did you suddenly undergo such an intense transformation?" "You should know that if you do this, you will..." Carles waved his hand and motioned for all other soldiers to retreat. After everyone else left, Carles said seriously: "Shane, this is my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else." "I need the strength to rescue my father and the strength to deal with this disaster." "Without power, even my father''s old men will not obey my orders." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Old subordinate?" After hearing this, he suddenly understood why those officers had a special attitude towards Carles. Carles is the "adopted daughter" of the legendary strongman Colonel Gold. In a sense, she is also an extension of Gold''s will. It is not difficult to guess that there must be many factions within the Federation Navy. There was originally a group of soldiers, with Gold as the core. Now that Gord has disappeared along with the King, his old subordinates naturally need a backbone to maintain the faction. As Gode''s adopted daughter, Carles is undoubtedly a good choice. But before that, Carles'' strength was obviously not enough to convince the public, and he might even be fooled and manipulated as a puppet. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that Carles will increase his strength regardless of the cost to gain the support of this group of soldiers. In fact, Carles did succeed. She was first transformed by several mechanics from the Church of Steam, and then showed an extremely heroic attitude on the battlefield. Her right arm was completely damaged in that battle, but this also established Carles'' reputation as the Platinum Knight. Many officers remembered this name and were convinced by her. What Carles is doing now is to gather the strength of these officers to find the missing [King] as soon as possible. Although Xia En didn''t know so many secrets, he still vaguely guessed Carles'' intention. Although he understands, he still feels a little depressed. It is precisely because of the importance he attaches to Carles that he has such emotions. "No more talking." Carles smiled and said, "You guys must be exhausted after coming all the way, right?" "The living environment here is slightly better than that of an ordinary military camp. You can rest here..." Suddenly, Carles'' voice stopped. The communicator directly connected to the helmet rang. "What? News about the [King]?" "What''s going on?" Xia En and others could not hear the words in the communicator, but they could see the changes in Carles'' emotions from the steam spitting from her body. The flashing indicator light showed that Carles'' mood was by no means calm. After a while, Carles ended the communication. She stood silently and didn''t make a sound for a long time. Daisy couldn''t help but ask: "Carles, what happened?" "Is there any news about the [King]?" "Yes." The sound coming from the sound-generating device was rather difficult, but Carles continued. "It has been determined that several legends just acted for the appearance of the [King]." "Um?" Alessio raised his eyebrows: "Operation for [King]? What does this mean?" "Isn''t it said that a powerful enemy has awakened in [the Far North]?" Carles paused and said. "That powerful enemy is the [King]." Hearing this, not only Daisy and her sister, but also Xia En couldn''t help but look shocked. What does this mean? Did the [King] become a living ship like the [Black Swan]? But even so, it shouldn''t attract the attention of so many powerful people, right? Or is it that a ship can actually reach the level of surpassing the eighth-level Mystic Path? Xia En calmed down and asked seriously: "What is going on?" Carles suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and explained to everyone. "According to battle reports from the front line, an unprecedented and terrifying undead has taken over the body of the [King] and turned the [King] into a part of its body." "Based on the characteristics observed now, it can be determined..." "That''s the undead soul of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" (End of chapter) Chapter 347 [Secret Technique of Mental Exercise] [J Chapter 347 [Secret Technique of Spiritual Training] [The Joy of Machine Soul] An undead. A red undead from the Great Yan Kingdom is wandering in the ice sea of ??the Far North. This is the information that Carles relayed to everyone at this time. Everyone fell into a brief silence, silently digesting the information revealed in the intelligence. "Wait a minute, but what are the undead souls of [Great Yan Kingdom]?" Daisy was shocked and puzzled, and couldn''t help but ask aloud. "Isn''t [Great Yan Kingdom] a dead country? How could it become an undead?" Carles responded: "I don''t know the specific reason, but according to frontline intelligence analysts..." "The undead souls of [Great Yan Kingdom] can be said to be the product of the collective consciousness of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]." "Those who died in the disaster and those who took the secret journey, the remaining consciousness and soul of each person may be very limited." "But when the remaining souls of all the citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom] gather together, when the emotions of pain, unwillingness, and resentment are mixed together..." "Coupled with the common identity of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], as well as certain changes that occurred in the past..." Carles said softly. "In this way, an undead named [Great Flame] was born." Hearing this, people couldn''t help but look shocked again. The secret travelers who can successfully reach the [Far North] can actually be regarded as the elite among the elite in [Seven Seas World]. But even they had never heard of such a deed, and even thought it was a bit fanciful. An undead composed of the souls of all members of the destroyed kingdom. In that catastrophe, no one knew how many people in the Great Yan Kingdom died directly. No one knows what kind of hatred and resentment they will have. Just imagining such an existence makes people feel a little creepy, and there is a chill in their backs. But Shane thought of another problem. The Great Yan Kingdom was not the only kingdom that was destroyed in the first great flood, but why was it that only the Great Yan Kingdom gave birth to such terrifying undead? He simply asked this question to others. Even Carles could not answer this. Jane was the calmest one among them. She thought about it and spoke. "I''ve heard of similar stories." "After a village was wiped out, a certain necromancer used some weird ritual to create an especially powerful and brutal ghost undead." "This undead named [Great Flame] was probably born under similar circumstances." Jane paused and continued. The conditions under which it was formed were definitely not that relaxed, and were even very strict. "So, not every country will give birth to such undead souls after its demise." "I suspect that when [Great Yan Kingdom] fell, something special must have happened." Hearing this, Xia En nodded in agreement. This coincided with his suspicion. Otherwise, wouldn''t [Seven Seas World] be filled with such terrifying super-large undead? However, what makes Xia En even more curious is what happened in the final stage of [Great Yan Kingdom]? Whether it''s the attitude of Princess Great Yan Bing, or the diluted and blurred memory of [Black Flame Walker], or the appearance of this undead [Great Flame]. All indicate that on the eve of the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom], some major changes were very likely to occur. It was this change that caused the seal of the Great Flood to be broken, causing the [Seven Seas World] to enter the "post-flood era." At this time, Daisy thought of another question. "Why is this undead possessing the [King]?" At the mention of the [King], Carles'' mood obviously dropped, but she still managed to cheer up. "The reason why the [King] disappeared is because when searching in the [Cold Sea], it happened to hit this undead that had just woken up." "And my father''s request for help was sent just before the [King] was possessed." "Maybe in the past few months, some kind of change has occurred, which completely integrated the [King] and [Great Yan] into one." Upon hearing this, Daisy immediately looked at her with concern. "Carles..." Xia En and others also immediately understood the reason why Carles was suddenly depressed and dazed. Now that the [King] has been possessed by [Great Flame], the people on that ship are obviously in bad luck. Even if Colonel Gold is a legendary strongman. But the strength of [Great Yan] is far beyond that of ordinary legends. Even strong men like Musa and Heller are no match for it. In other words, Colonel Gold has probably... The arrival of this information is undoubtedly heavy bad news for Carles! It is not difficult to understand her strange attitude. "Don''t worry, don''t worry about me." Carles puffed up his chest, looked around at everyone, and said, "I''m not that fragile." "Besides, my father may not have died." A chuckle came from her vocal device. "He''s actually better at protecting himself than you think." "However, I am determined." "I must go to the [King] that is possessed by [Great Flame] to find out. Whether my father is dead or alive, I have to personally witness it!" Alessio opened his mouth but stopped talking. He wanted to say that the [Great Flame] was a terrifying existence that even the legendary strong men could do nothing about. But when the words came to his lips, he realized that he had no position to persuade Carles to give up doing this. Thinking of this, Alessio looked at Shane with a slightly pleading look. In his opinion, if Xia Enlai could persuade him, Carles might be able to change his mind and not do such a thing that would lead to death. But at this time, Xia En spoke. "In that case, I would like to accompany you." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. "What?" "Captain Shane?!" Both Joey and Jane looked at Shane with surprised eyes. Carles raised his helmet sharply and looked straight at Xia En. "Don''t be so nervous." Shane explained: "The current [King] must be very dangerous." "But the legendary powerhouses of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are not in vain. Perhaps they will soon be able to find a way to safely enter the interior of the [King]." "Otherwise, if we can''t even solve this crisis, how can we prevent the second great flood from happening?" After listening, Joey and other crew members reluctantly accepted this statement. But even so, they can smell the strong danger behind this matter. Just daring to make such a promise to Carles is no longer something that ordinary people can do. On the side, Alessio''s eyes were particularly complicated. Probably until now, he didn''t understand why Carles chose Shane instead of himself. "You are a little tired today, so you should rest in the camp first." Soon, Carles ended the topic and said: "Captain Shane, can you stay for a moment?" "I have something to say to you." Xia En nodded and said, "Okay." Before leaving, Joey tugged on Shane''s sleeve: "Mr. Captain, remember to come back early." When he said this, Joey glared at Carles with his beautiful big eyes, as if he was declaring his sovereignty, and also as if he was warning the potential stealing cat. The corner of Xia En''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch. Forget about others, Carles is not even a human being at all! If Joey hears Shane''s thoughts, he will definitely say - "It''s just because you''re not a talented person that it''s more dangerous!" Not long after. Everyone else evacuated from this special barracks. Carles said: "Captain Shane, follow me." Shane didn''t think much and followed Carles into the steamy room. Compared with ordinary rooms, there are much more pipes laid here, and the heat is diffused throughout the room, which is completely white. Its hard to imagine that this is the coldest place in the world. "Sorry, in order to heal my injuries and maintain this high-load state, I asked them to increase the steam power." Carles''s voice came from the front: "If you feel uncomfortable, I can ask them to turn it down." Shane saw that with the contact with the white steam, the damaged areas on Carles'' body were repairing themselves at a slow speed. This is apparently the effect of those "holy vapors". Seeing this, Xia En waved his hand: "No need." "I can still bear this temperature." After bathing in dragon blood, plundering storms, and many other physical enhancements, Xia En''s body''s ability to withstand extreme weather is far beyond that of ordinary people. The temperature at this level is nothing at all. "That''s good." At this time, Carles'' figure was almost completely shrouded in fog, and only the sound came from the steam. "Actually, when I was young, my father and I were not close." "At that time, I had no human emotions, let alone the concepts of relatives, family, and father." "It can even be said that I was just a cold machine at that time. I had no other function except as a killing weapon." Through the steam, Shane couldn''t see Carles'' appearance, nor could he see the changes in the light under her helmet. Shane understood that Carlisle asked him to come here not because he wanted him to do something. But I just hope there is a listener who can listen to what she has to say. Thinking of this, Shane said nothing and listened to Carles'' story in silence. "Also because I am not a human being at all, when I was first created, I was often ostracized and ridiculed by other children." "Of course, I didn''t feel anything about it at that time, let alone feel sad or sad." "But every time, the father would chase the kids away and give them a scolding." "I once advised my father that there was no need to do this. I still remember his expression at that time. It was helpless with a touch of sadness." "He told me that when I start feeling sad about it, that''s when I will really grow up..." Carles spoke about the past events in a leisurely manner, allowing Shane to learn more about her and the legendary Colonel Gold. "One day later, I suddenly felt that those children who said bad things about me were so annoying." "It was only then that I gradually developed human emotions." "In the initial period of time, I could often sense other people''s strange looks, either fear, anxiety, or rejection." "Therefore, I also complained to my father about why he created me." "Father didn''t give me an answer." "But now, I seem to have found the answer myself." Shane asked, "What''s that answer?" "Probably, it''s to meet more people." Carles replied: "I can make friends like Daisy, and I can also meet you Shane - if I had not been created, all of this would not be possible, right?" So, its great to be born into this world! Suddenly, Carles changed the subject and said. "By the way, Xia En, I have a newly learned secret technique that can strengthen the spirit. Do you want to try it?" "The secret technique of mental training?" Xia En hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You can give it a try." "This secret technique requires two people to perform it. Just stand where you are and don''t move around." "good." laugh- Along with the sound of steam pressure releasing, Shane felt that Carles was approaching him. And Xia En was no stranger to this voice. Immediately, Carles hugged him from behind. Early next morning. Xia En walked out of the room refreshed. The coldness of the [Far North] seemed insignificant, and he ignored it easily. Although the process seems a bit strange, the [spiritual training technique] mentioned by Carles is indeed very effective. Xia En clearly felt that his mental power had increased and his control over the secret power had also improved. According to Carles, that secret technique comes from the [Church of Steam]. It was originally used for communication between steam priests and steam machinery, to awaken, appease, and please the machine soul, thereby improving the efficiency of steam machinery. And Carles was originally a soul born from the steam armor, so it was perfect for her to use this secret technique. One night of exercise completely made Carles "very happy." Shane even clearly felt that Carles'' condition had stabilized significantly, and at least he didn''t have to worry about collapsing during the battle. This is equivalent to the fact that the cultivation level previously improved with the "Magic Technique" has been consolidated. However, as soon as Shane walked out of the room, he saw Joey waiting for him at the door. With a look of suspicion on her pretty face, she asked: "Mr. Captain, what did you do last night?" (End of chapter) Chapter 348 Federal regular army, [War Mad Benny! 】 Chapter 348: Federal Regular Army, [War MadBenny! "Don''t worry, little sister, we didn''t do anything, we just chatted and exercised our mental strength." Before Xia En could speak, Carles''s voice came from behind. "Besides, with a body like mine, can I still do anything that men and women do?" Joey turned his head and looked at Carles who walked out of the door, and couldn''t help but widen his eyes slightly. In her eyes, there was a faint steam lingering on Carles'' body at this time, and a warm and moist breath hit her face. I wonder if it was her imagination. Carles'' appearance was clearly the same as yesterday, but his impression was completely different. Before, she always had an impatient and restless temperament, as if something was chasing her behind her. - In this regard, it is not difficult for Joey to understand that this must be the sense of urgency and pressure brought about by his father''s disappearance and this prophecy of annihilation. But now, after spending a night with Shane. Carles''s pressure was relieved, and her attitude was obviously relieved and relaxed. The body that was originally in danger due to forced modifications has also stabilized, allowing her to more easily control the power she possesses. Even the silver paint and components seem to have a new look and become more lustrous. Carlisle''s entire body has regained some of its former smooth beauty. It''s like a woman is moistened by rain and dew, and she looks particularly radiant. Thinking of this, Joey''s eyes became more suspicious and he thought to himself. "If nothing happened last night, how could there be such a big change in her?" It''s just like what Carles said. She has no human organs at all, and even if she wants to spend the night together like a normal man and woman, she can''t do it. Joey shook his head to dispel the suspicion in his mind and said instead. "By the way, Mr. Captain, when I got up in the morning, I saw some notices posted in the camp." "It seems that they are recruiting sixth-level mystics from all the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. They probably want to organize a special operation." In fact, this was the reason why Joey was waiting at the door of the barracks. She can still distinguish between big things and small things. Compared with personal emotional problems, it is obviously more important to solve the impending disaster. "Sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder... special operation?" Shane touched his chin. The sixth level is specially limited, obviously not without reason. The sixth level is the highest level under legend. In other words, the reason why the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] issued this order was probably because all the legendary powerhouses had already gone to carry out another important matter. If Xia En guessed correctly, it must be inseparable from the appearance of [Da Yan]. At this time, Joey bit his lip and asked. "Mr. Captain, do you want to participate in this special operation?" After thinking about it, Xia En said, "It''s hard to say." "It depends on what the operation is." "But if it is something crucial to solving the disaster, I will most likely participate." Although Xia En''s rank is only fifth level, in terms of real combat power, he is actually at the strongest level below the legend. Not to mention the lofty ideal of saving the world, in order to protect the [Black Swan], protect Joey, and for the people around him, Xia En also had reasons to take action. Joey was not surprised by the answer and murmured softly. "Sure enough...this is Mr. Captain." Shane rubbed Joey''s little head and said, "Don''t worry, you know, I never do anything I''m not sure about." Just then. A soldier walked in from outside, speaking vigorously. "Captain Carles, General Moritz asked you to go to the military headquarters to find him!" "Um?" Hearing this, Carles couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment. "General Moritz?" Xia En''s expression also changed slightly. He had heard of this name and knew that the other party was the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], and could also be said to be the highest representative of the federal navy''s will. This is a well-deserved big shot! Captain Carles'' military rank was nothing in front of this man. Now, why is Moritz looking for Carles? Is it because of Carlisles father, Colonel Gold? However, what surprised Xia En even more was that after looking around, the soldier''s eyes actually stayed on him. "Is this Captain Shane?" "General Moritz also asked you to come with him." "He has something important to discuss with you two." This soldier''s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, with a touch of respect in his tone, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. However, the content of his words made everyone present slightly shocked. Xia En was even more puzzled. Although he has done some deeds in [Lenglie Sea] and gained some fame. But in the eyes of a true legendary powerhouse, that is actually just a small fight. Still the same sentence - "If you don''t become a legend, you will always be an ant!" And since this General Moritz can become the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], his own strength aside, he must have several military legends under his command. When he came to Carles, he could still explain it as "Colonel Gold". But I want to see myself... This seems a bit weird. However, since General Moritz had extended the invitation, Shane had no reason to refuse. And if you think about it carefully, this general should have no malicious intentions. After all, this entire [Far North Expeditionary Force] is his territory. If Moritz had malicious intentions, I''m afraid Shane and others would have been arrested as soon as they entered the camp. on the other hand. Xia En also wanted to see what kind of person this commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] was. Shane nodded to Carles and expressed his wishes. Carles thought for a moment and said without much hesitation. "Okay, let''s go right away." The soldier who sent the message nodded when he heard this. "Okay, you two, please follow me." Later, under the leadership of this soldier. Xia En and the two walked through a group of barracks and walked towards the core area of ??the camp. Along the way, Xia En saw several secret travelers with strong aura being brought into a barracks, seemingly undergoing some kind of test and assessment. Come to think of it, this is what Joey said about summoning the sixth-level mystics. In addition, the style displayed by the federal navy also surprised Xia En. Among the officers who come and go, although there are fewer top secretaries, the overall rank is generally above the fourth level. Moreover, the closer to the center of the camp, the stronger the general aura of the soldiers became. Even Xia En saw two or three sixth-order powerhouses at a glance. What amazed Xia En the most was not the strong men in the army, but the certain atmosphere that enveloped the entire military camp. Even those lower-level soldiers with weaker strength have become part of this atmosphere, making the entire military camp operate in an efficient manner, like a whole. Simple, direct and efficient. Even to the point of being a little iron-blooded and indifferent. This is how Shane felt about revealing his military style to these soldiers. It seemed that... even those low-level soldiers could pose a certain threat to him. And when the number of soldiers reaches a certain number, such threats will be infinitely amplified. Xia En couldn''t help but suspect that there might be some unique joint attack secret technique and formation in the federal navy, which could integrate individual combat power into the collective, thus exerting the effect of "1+1 is greater than 1". "As expected of the regular army of the Federation." Xia En couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. In terms of morale, personal quality, and discipline...such a regular army is completely beyond the reach of ordinary pirates. Seeing this group of soldiers, Xia En completely understood Why now, no force can shake the status of the Seven Seas Federation. The Federation has definitely put a lot of effort into training and selecting its military. The military is the foundation of the Federation! And when this entire army is in operation, it will undoubtedly be like a huge iron-blooded steel beast, tearing apart all the enemies in front of it. Xia En was previously worried about the possible wave of [dirty creatures]. And after witnessing the demeanor of the army in front of him, he couldn''t help but feel relieved. "This is the First Army created by General Moritz himself, also known as the ''Iron-Blooded Army''." Carles introduced Xia En softly: "Those who can join the Iron-Blooded Army are all the elites in the army." "My father and I are members of the 7th Division of the Iron Blood Army." There was a touch of pride in Carles'' tone. Obviously, she has a strong sense of identification with the Iron Blood Army. Shane thought about it carefully and realized that Carles probably grew up in the Jagged Army, so he had special feelings for it. Just like this, while observing the scenery in the military camp, they chatted. Xia En and the two were taken to the core of the military camp. A particularly tall barracks stands here, and there are many strange equipment connected to the outside of the barracks. Obviously, this place is also used as the information processing center of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], used to transmit various intelligence and make timely decisions. And just walked to the door of the barracks. With a "bang", the door was pushed open forcefully. A muscular man with short hair and wearing only a tactical vest walked out angrily. "The old man is really stupid. The last spot should have been mine. Why..." Seeing this man, Xia En raised his eyebrows. Being able to wear only such a thin vest in the severe cold environment of [the Far North] is a symbol of strength in itself. Even so, Xia En even saw the heat rising from his body surface, filled with a strong vitality. Xia En surprisingly felt familiar with this power. This is very similar to the "power of blood" he mastered after bathing in dragon blood. one share This man is definitely a strong man who has trained his body to an outstanding level! However, his angry attitude and words surprised Xia En. After all, all the soldiers I saw along the way were extremely disciplined, serious and serious. But this man acted extremely reckless, still complaining about something, and seemed out of place with the other soldiers. Moreover, in this case, no other officers spoke out to stop it. This shows Perhaps this man''s identity is very special? What does the "quota" he refers to mean? However, despite seeing this information, Xia En did not intend to meddle in others'' affairs. What is more important right now is the meeting with General Moritz. However, after Xia En looked back, the shirtless man noticed them and said with squinted eyes. "Carles?" Seeing this man, Carles'' attitude was unusually cold and he spoke in a distant tone. "Hello, Major Benny." "If nothing happens, we''ll leave first. General Moritz is still waiting for us." After that, she led Xia En towards the barracks. "etc." The man known as "Major Benny" had no intention of letting them go so easily. He walked up to Carles and others, and his eyes quickly fell on Xia En who was standing aside. "You said you were looking for the old man, which means..." "Are you that Shane?" "Major Benny..." The officer leading the way stepped forward and tried to persuade Benny. But Benny said stiffly: "I have something to say to him, please don''t meddle in his own business." After hearing these words, Xia En frowned. The "old man" Benny calls is actually Moritz? Combined with the strange attitudes of Carles and other officers, it was not difficult for him to guess that there might be some kind of special relationship between Benny and Moritz? Thoughts were racing in his heart, but Xia En''s face remained calm and he responded calmly. "It''s me." "What do you want from me?" "hehe" Benny sneered: "Although I don''t know how you took away my spot, among the Secret Pathers, strength speaks for itself after all." "Tomorrow at noon, I will challenge you. I hope... you won''t disappoint me too much." "Benny!" Carles glared at Benny angrily. But the other party ignored him and turned around and left after saying this. Steal a spot? challenge? To be honest, Shane was still a little confused and didn''t understand why Benny suddenly came to him. But he has never been a soft persimmon who can be rubbed around. Therefore, Xia En simply said loudly. "Since you want to challenge me, why wait until tomorrow?" "How about now, right here?" Hearing this, the expression of the officer leading the way suddenly changed. "Captain Shane?!" The red light under Carles'' mask also flickered slightly, transmitting sound to Shane''s ears at a special frequency. "This Major Benny is the grandson of General Moritz and a sixth-level secret pather." "All the sixth-level secret path practitioners in the army have been challenged by him, and he has even won twenty consecutive victories. He has always been known as a "war mad" in the army." "Many people in the army are also very dissatisfied with his style, but because he has made several outstanding military exploits and is the grandson of General Moritz... no one can do anything to him." "However, if it''s you, Captain Shane, you should be able to win this battle..." After hearing these words, Shane also learned more about this Benny. At this time, after hearing Xia En''s words clearly, Benny was so angry that he laughed. He showed his pale teeth, his face looked ferocious, his body surface turned red, and white steam rose up. "Hahahahaha..." "You alone dare to challenge me?" "He''s just a savage pirate! In that case, let me make it happen..." Just as Benny was rising more and more white gas. A stern voice suddenly sounded. "That''s enough! Benny, back off!" (End of chapter) Chapter 349 【General Moritz】【Infiltration Operation】 Chapter 349 [General Moritz] [Infiltration Operation] As this fierce and majestic voice sounded. The venue suddenly became quiet, and there was silence everywhere. Even Benny, who was arrogant and domineering just now, honestly shut his mouth and only dared to curl his lips to express his dissatisfaction. Walking out of the barracks was an old man in military uniform with a majestic air. This old man has a short, white beard. Judging from his facial features and appearance, he is actually quite amiable, making him think of the best-tempered teacher in school. However, combined with the invisible coercion and temperament on his body, it gave people a feeling of calm and self-power. That is the temperament infiltrated by holding power for a long time. It can also be said that it is the so-called magnanimity of a superior person. The strange thing is that judging from his skin and eyebrows, this man is probably only in his forties. But he gives people an "old" feeling inexplicably, making people subconsciously think that he is an old man. It''s like... his vitality is much weaker than that of normal people? The aura of this old man even surprised Xia En. He not only has the unique seventh-level coercion of a legendary powerhouse, but he also gives people the feeling that he is not much stronger than a sixth-level mystic. The sense of threat that the other party brought to Shane was not even much different from that of Benny. Something to say. The old man seemed to have suffered some kind of injury that would never heal. And that hidden injury is still tormenting him to this day, preventing him from displaying his full strength. But even so, whether it was the soldier leading the way, Carles, or the soldiers around him, they all looked at the old man with awe and admiration. Obviously, he is the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] General Moritz! "General!" The soldiers lowered their heads and saluted the famous old general. The officer leading the way looked even more ashamed: "Sorry, General, I was negligent..." Moritz waved his hand: "It''s not your fault." He turned to look at Benny who was not far away and said in a stern tone. "Benny, apologize to Captain Shane!" Hearing this, Benny felt more like a dynamite barrel being detonated, and said angrily. "You want me to apologize to a pirate?" "Have you forgotten who killed my parents?" He grinned and sneered and said to himself: "Oh yes, you have forgotten all about it." "Otherwise you wouldn''t agree to let pirates join the [Far North Expeditionary Force]..." Snap! Suddenly, a crisp slap sounded. Moritz came to Benny at some point, and a clear slap mark gradually appeared on Benny''s face. "you" Benny''s eyes widened and his face turned red visibly. He took a few steps back and glared angrily at Moritz, Shane and the others. "No matter what, I will not allow this pretty boy, who is only at level 5, to take away my spot!" After that, he turned around and left. Everyone was unprepared for this series of changes, and the soldiers looked at Moritz in surprise. General Moritz always treated Benny harshly, but this was the first time he had been slapped in public like this! This kind of move can be said to completely disregard Major Benny''s face, and may even lead to a complete break between the grandfather and grandson. "General Moritz..." Carles looked at the old man in front of him with concern. "Don''t worry, I''m fine." There was a hint of bitterness on Moritz''s face, but in the blink of an eye, this bitterness was hidden under the majesty. Then, he looked at Xia En on the other side and said apologetically. "I''m sorry, Captain Shane, you have seen a farce." "Please come with me." Soon, Shane and Carles followed Moritz to a room in the barracks. As soon as he walked into the door, Moritz''s straight back suddenly stooped a little, and he looked as if he had aged by more than ten years. It was like the posture he showed in front of other soldiers was just his disguise. Only in this room with only three people could Moritz temporarily relieve himself of the burden and show his true side. After Moritz sat on the chair, he motioned for Shane and the two of them to sit down as well, and then smiled. "It made you two laugh." "The commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is actually such a depressed old man. He must have disappointed you, right?" His tone was very gentle, completely different from the previous Benny, like a gentle elder talking to his juniors. But even so, Xia En didn''t have any contempt in his heart. He didn''t think that the person who could become the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] would really be a depressed old man. The "old" attitude shown by Moritz at this time is probably true, but it may also be a means of communication. Show your vulnerable side so that people can let down their guard and relax their vigilance. However, whether it is true or disguised, the fact that a big man like Moritz is willing to talk to the two of them in this manner is a sign of sincerity in itself. Therefore, Xia En was willing to communicate with him in a more sincere manner. So Xia En said: "To be honest, I don''t feel disappointed, but a little surprised." "You seem to be different from ordinary soldiers." Moritz chuckled: "Captain Shane''s vision is indeed extraordinary." "Actually, I didn''t come from an orthodox military school. I was just a school teacher in the past. It was only because of an accident that I embarked on the road to the military." I didnt expect that I would end up where I am today. Hearing this, Xia En was quite surprised. But this also explains why Moritz has a different temperament from other soldiers. "It''s a pity that although I was a teacher, I can''t even teach my own grandson well." Moritz sighed, then stood up and said solemnly. "Please allow me to apologize to you for Benny''s rude behavior just now!" Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised again. It is actually very rare for a person of Moritz''s stature to be willing to apologize personally. It can be seen that his character is actually very serious and frank. Looking back at the unreasonable, irritable and irritable Benny... This can only be said to be unfortunate for the family, right? Shane could imagine how Moritz had apologized to others time and time again after getting into trouble for Benny. Seemingly sensing Shane''s thoughts, Moritz spoke. "Actually, Benny will become what he is now, and I do have an unshirkable responsibility." "His parents died early, and I was busy with military affairs, so I didn''t see him a few times a year." Moritz''s tone was filled with shame: "When I teach him, I always teach him as harshly as I would scold my subordinates." "Probably because of the so-called rebellious psychology, he became more and more repulsive to my discipline..." Xia En was not surprised by this. The education of future generations has always been a big problem. Like a certain big shot in the previous life, didn''t he also make news about "having children"? Perhaps, it is precisely because of his extraordinary status that it becomes difficult to educate his children. But to be honest, Xia En is not very interested in other people''s family affairs. What he cared more about was the "quota" Benny mentioned and Moritz''s purpose in finding the two of them. After all, the fact that Moritz came to find him was filled with great weirdness. Moritz continued speaking unhurriedly. "The reason why the child is hostile to you is partly because his parents died at the hands of pirates." "So he had a disdain for all pirates, or anyone who had ever been a pirate." At this point, Moritz changed the subject. "But I know that Captain Shane is not a pirate in the true sense." "I''ve seen Captain Shane''s past achievements. He basically took action for self-protection and revenge, right?" Moritz stared at Shane with slightly cloudy eyes. It was only then that a sharp light flashed under those eyes, giving Xia En an inexplicable feeling that his heart had been penetrated. Xia En frowned and said seriously. "General Moritz, what exactly do you want us to do when you call us here?" "Please just say it." Moritz said: "You should have heard that another reason why Benny wants to challenge you is the so-called ''quota''." "It''s just that that quota is by no means something that people are eager for and can improve their strength." "On the contrary, it was an extremely dangerous operation that could even lead to a narrow escape from death." Xia En had some suspicion in his mind, but still asked. "What action?" Moritz said seriously: "The action of sneaking into the body of the [King] or... [Great Flame]!" "What?!" Carles next to him couldn''t help but exclaimed. Although Carles had previously wanted to go to the King to find her father Gord, she was still extremely shocked when this opportunity was actually presented to her. After the shock, came confusion and confusion. Carles couldn''t help but ask: "But isn''t [Great Yan]''s realm higher than that of legend?" "On our own, even if we sneak into His body, we can really..." "rest assured." Moritz explained aloud: "Of course we will not let you die." "The power of [Great Flame] has been personally experienced by several legendary powerhouses." "And now we have concluded that..." "If you want to eliminate [Great Flame] in a frontal battle, you must sacrifice at least two-thirds of the legendary powerhouses in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]!" The general''s tone was extremely serious, and he finally showed some iron-bloodedness of a soldier. "If it''s only one-third, we might choose to storm." "But right now, this number of sacrifices is unacceptable to us." "Because besides [Great Flame], there are other enemies waiting for us." "At the moment, [Great Flame]''s desire to attack is not very strong. It will just mercilessly devour all beings that are close to it." After hearing these words, Xia En probably understood the special nature of [Great Flame]. To the [Far North Expeditionary Force], [Great Flame] is equivalent to a large mine that is constantly accumulating. Ignoring it for the time being may not cause much damage in a short period of time. But as time goes by, this landmine will become more and more dangerous, until the day it is completely detonated. Therefore, the strategy of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is to find another way, not to detonate the mines from the front, but to defuse the bombs from the side. Or at least make it less harmful. Moritz continued: "Now, [Great Flame] has been fixed in place by several legendary strong men using secret techniques, and will no longer move at will." "Take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in and destroy his key nodes." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized that the recruitment notice issued in the military camp was probably for this operation. But soon, Carles noticed something else. "But why did you choose us?" "Wouldn''t the success rate be higher if legendary powerhouses are involved in the action?" Moritz looked bitter: "If this is true, we won''t have to recruit people from the [Far North Expeditionary Force] anymore." "Although [Great Flame]''s perception is slower than that of ordinary humans, it also has an intuition for danger." "Secretists of the seventh level and above will be locked and expelled by His will just by getting close to Him, let alone going deep into His body." "Only those with a secret path who have not yet reached the seventh level can enter His body." "The reason why this operation is called ''infiltration operation'' is also related to this." "Even the sixth-level Secret Pathers have a limit on their number. This is what the so-called ''quota'' means." Obviously, all the secret path practitioners below the seventh level are regarded as ants by [Great Yan], so they will not arouse his vigilance. After these doubts were answered, both Shane and Carles looked enlightened. I have a deeper understanding of the entire incident. From this perspective, Benny knows that this is an extremely dangerous task, but he still has to compete with Shane for this spot. It can be seen that he also sincerely wants to solve this disaster and has a certain spirit of sacrifice. Xia En had looked down on him before. But even so, Shane has no intention of giving up this spot. Just because... he is stronger than Benny and more likely to eliminate the hidden danger of [Great Flame]! At this time, Moritz''s eyes fell on Carles and he said with a soft attitude. "The reason why you are included in the list is because we found that Gord seemed to have left some messages inside [Great Yan]." "Probably only you can decipher and receive those messages." "But, I still have to ask you, are you willing to participate in this operation?" Carles said without hesitation: "I do!" "Whether it''s as a soldier or as a daughter, this is what I should do." "That''s good." Moritz turned to look at Shane again. "Captain Shane, your situation is different from Carles." "Although I have included you on the list, you can also refuse this operation." "After all, this is too dangerous. No one can guarantee that the mysterious person who enters the body of [Great Flame] can come back alive." "Are you...sure you want to accept this mission?" Xia En said calmly: "I''m sure." Regardless of the promise he made with Carles, isn''t it that he came all the way to the [Ultra North] just to prevent the world-destroying disaster? Do you have to retreat when you encounter danger now? How can there be such truth! (End of chapter) Chapter 350 【Old Daily Fire】 Chapter 350 [Old Days of Fire] After hearing Shane''s answer and seeing the determination in the man''s expression, Moritz''s eyes flashed with appreciation. He sighed: "He is indeed the person chosen by King Salary." "Captain Xia En, congratulations on passing the last assessment." Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. "Salary King? Assessment?" Soon, Xia En suddenly came to his senses. He had previously been curious about how Moritz knew the name of a little person like himself. Now that I think about it, it is obviously related to King Xin! only "The person chosen by King Xin?" Xia En''s expression was a little strange. Why is this statement so strange? at the same time. Moritz had no intention of becoming the Riddler, so he took the initiative to explain to Shane. "In fact, the reason why I put you on the list for this operation is precisely because of King Xin''s recommendation." "He even said" "''If there is any Mystic below Legend who can solve this hidden danger, it can only be Captain Shane.''" There was a hint of surprise in Moritz''s tone. "This is the first time I have heard such a comment from King Xin." "To be precise, throughout history, there are very few people who can be evaluated like this by King Xin, right?" Xia En couldn''t help but be a little surprised, thinking to himself. "Yan Yan...is this how you see me?" Moritz glanced at Shane and spoke seriously. "Originally I had some doubts about this statement." "However, after seeing Captain Xia En with my own eyes, I can somewhat understand the reason why King Xin said this." Shane did not continue the topic, but asked directly. "Yan...oh no, where is King Xin now?" "Can I go see him?" Whether it was the disappeared memories of the [Black Flame Walkers], or the reasons for the anger of those shelters and Dark Ice, there were many doubts piling up in Xia En''s heart. And probably only Yan Yan can give him the answers to these questions. But at this time. Moritz shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, King Xin is now on the front line against [Great Flame]." "Actually, we can temporarily block [Great Yan] in place, mainly relying on the power of King Xin." "Even the entire infiltration plan was proposed by King Xin." Having said this, Moritz sighed slightly ashamed. "It''s obviously a crisis of our generation, but it has to be solved by the kings of the old era. It''s really shameful." "However, King Xin must also have some special feelings for [Great Yan] who has become an undead..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. [Dayan Kingdom] is a kingdom founded by King Xin. Those who died were all the people of King Xin. At this time, the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] turned into an undead wandering on the ice sea, and even King Xin had to find ways to eliminate it. Just imagining this kind of mood made Xia En feel heavy and a little distressed. Is this the pain Yan Yan must bear after regaining his memory? It''s no wonder that before Yan Yan''s memory truly awakened, he would often show such a lonely expression. If possible, Xia En still hopes that Yan Yan will always be Yan Yan, instead of being the salary king with a painful past. "Sorry, I accidentally went too far." Moritz''s voice pulled Shane''s thoughts back from his memories. "By the way, King Xin also asked me to hand over something to you, which seems to be helpful for your advancement in rank." With that said, Moritz took out a palm-sized wooden box from his arms and handed it to Shane. There are dark red lines on the wooden box that look like flames and blood, with a high temperature. Xia En was quite familiar with the aura on it. This is the secret power of flame that belongs to Yan Yan. Moreover, Xia En also had an intuition that the things in this wooden box would help him take a big step on the secret path! Moritz added: "I suggest you open this box in a quiet and safe environment." "It would be bad if King Xin''s kindness was wasted." Shane nodded: "I will." "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Moritz looked at Shane gently, like an elder who had high hopes for his descendants. "As long as I know anything, I can answer it for you." After thinking for a moment, Xia En asked: "What is your realm..." He was really curious about the strange aura on Moritz''s body. After hearing this, Moritz also answered frankly: "If you insist on saying so, I should be regarded as a pseudo-legend, right?" "I once reached the rank of legend, but in a certain battle, I suffered an injury that will never heal." "Not only is my vitality severely damaged, but my rank has also fallen, and I will be unable to make any progress for the rest of my life." "But even so, after all, I have seen the scenery above the legend, and I also have some means to fight against the legend." Xia En nodded clearly: "That''s it." Moritz continued: "The steward lady on your ship actually falls into the category of ''pseudo-legendary''." "But unlike the situation where I can''t make any progress, Ms. Jane just doesn''t want to break through." Xia En''s eyes opened slightly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn''t expect that Moritz would actually mention Jane''s name. And from his tone, it''s not difficult to tell that he and Jane seem to be very familiar with each other? only What does it mean not to want to break through? Moritz saw Shane''s surprise and explained. "Actually, I am an old friend of Ms. Jane. I visited her several times when she was working in the Federal Library." Hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of the rumors about Jane on [Liu Li Island] - There were children of federal figures who got angry because of Jane''s cold attitude, and were eventually taken to the library by their parents to admit their mistakes. Now the case is solved! With such a general as an old friend, how could an ordinary dandy make any waves? Thinking further, is Jane''s only old friend Moritz really the only one? After thinking about Musa from before, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little emotional. This is the benefit of living long enough! Do you know what connections are? "Ms. Jian back then was so magnificent that she impressed the hearts of many young people in [Liu Li Island]." There was a look of reminiscence in Moritz''s eyes. Then, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I also pursued Ms. Jian back then, but in the end I was ruthlessly rejected." Moritz looked at Shane with a strange look of envy. "So, after knowing that Ms. Jian actually followed a young boy out of the big library and boarded a pirate ship." "My mood is quite complicated." Shane: "..." Hearing this, he couldn''t help but be curious. How powerful was Jane back then? Even big shots like Moritz and Moussa were impressed by her charm. Moritz spoke again: "As for why Ms. Jane is unwilling to break through the realm of legend, you should ask her yourself." After ending the topic, Moritz spoke extremely candidly. "To be honest, the Federation chose me as the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] mainly because they wanted to take advantage of my reputation and prestige." "Thereby deploying and commanding several major armies. If the generals were replaced by generals from other armies, I''m afraid there would be some conflicts due to military merit and competition for power." When mentioning this matter, Moritz''s attitude suddenly became serious. "Actually, I found that there are some overly optimistic voices in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], especially in the federal regular army." "They believe that this expedition will definitely be successful, and they have even begun to think about what will happen after the victory and prepare to divide the military achievements." "Confidence is certainly a good thing, but blind confidence becomes arrogance." Shane was also infected by Moritz''s attitude and seriously thought about this issue. Thinking about it carefully, as he walked along, he did feel that there was a less tense atmosphere in the army. After hearing what Moritz said, Shane realized the seriousness of the matter. The federal regular army is powerful, but precisely because of their strength, it has been too long since they have faced an opponent who fought with all their strength. Take the previous dispute between the three major esoteric religions as an example. Federal officials have always been on the sidelines and have not really taken any action. Even so, the three secret sects have never launched an attack on the federal navy. From this point, we can also see the strength of the federal regular army. In the eyes of many soldiers, the seemingly vigorous dispute between the three religions is just a small fight. As time goes by, the self-confidence in the army will become more and more swollen. On the side, Carles nodded slightly and agreed with this statement. Moritz paused and then continued. "Actually, this trend is particularly prominent among young people." "And my grandson Benny is one of the leaders of the Young Boys." Xia En was slightly startled. Another question he wanted to ask before was how to deal with Benny''s provocation. -After all, judging from Benny''s attitude, it is obvious that he has no intention of giving up. Shane didn''t expect that Moritz would actually mention this matter himself. Moritz looked at Shane seriously. "Frankly speaking, I, an old man, do have some selfish motives of my own." "My son and daughter-in-law all died on the battlefield, so I don''t want Benny to follow their same path." His conversation changed. "However, I also understand that it is the fate of a soldier to die in battle." "If Benny wins this spot on his own merit, I won''t stop him." "Captain Shane, I hope you can accept Benny''s challenge, not for the sake of the quota, but to wake him up." "It also makes those overconfident soldiers understand that there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains." After saying that, Moritz stood up and bowed deeply to Shane under the shocked gaze of Carles. "Please!" Shane subconsciously wanted to avoid this bow, but found that his body seemed to be bound by some invisible force, and he could only accept Moritz''s bow. Wait until Moritz straightens his back again. Xia En couldn''t help but have a wry smile on his face: "General, are you so confident in me?" If he lost to Benny in the end, wouldn''t Moritz''s attitude and words at this time become a joke? Moritz smiled confidently. "To be precise, what I believe is not you, but mine and King Xin''s vision!" Xia En was immediately speechless. Boom! At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Moritz frowned and said, "Come in." The person who pushed the door open was an anxious soldier. He reported directly: "General, not far from the [Far North Expeditionary Force] camp, a legendary monster appeared!" "Come so fast!" Moritz''s eyes were focused, but he did not appear panicked. Instead, he picked up the military cap on the table and put it on his head leisurely. His movements were meticulous. At the same time, his temperament quickly changed. In the blink of an eye, that gentle and approachable temperament disappeared, replaced by a fierce and iron-blooded atmosphere. The slightly rickety back was once again as straight as a big gun. Just standing there, he exuded a sharp aura, and the murderous aura overflowed and hit his face, making it impossible to ignore. It was not until this moment that Xia En truly got to know the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]! After hesitating, Xia En asked, "Do you need our help?" Moritz waved his hand: "Your first priority now is to prepare for infiltration operations." "As for the safety of the camp, you don''t need to worry because..." "I will take action!" With that said, Moritz walked towards the door. Before stepping out of the door, Moritz looked back at Shane and said seriously. "The future belongs to you young people." "Now, let an old guy like me fight for you one more time." After watching Moritz leave. Xia En also felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Not for Benny''s challenge, but for this infiltration operation. Dive into the body of a being beyond legend. This kind of thing is extremely dangerous just by imagining it. For ordinary secret travelers, the possibility of surviving successfully is very slim. Xia En does have a hidden escape route, which is the [Rhine Secret Realm], but it cannot be ruled out In [Great Flame]''s body, the light gate of [Empty Beast Heart Seal] is restricted and cannot be opened. So, try to think about the worst-case scenario. So, it must be extremely difficult to solve the [Great Flame] from the inside and leave its body alive. Even Xia En doesn''t have much confidence. What he can do now is to improve his strength as much as possible. It would be great if he could be promoted to level six before the action started. Out of trust in Moritz, Shane really didn''t care about the legendary [Filthy Creature] that appeared over there, nor did he care about the safety of the camp. Instead, after returning to his room, he entered the [Rhine Secret Realm]. A new cabin was built where he usually retreated. That''s where Feiya practices. Feeling the steadily increasing atmosphere in the hut, Xia En put aside his worries and walked to another house. Wait until your mood gradually calms down. Shane opened the dark red wooden box handed over by Moritz. laugh- The moment the wooden box is opened. A ball of fire suddenly jumped out. The rich and vital secret power suddenly spread out, like a spring breeze blowing on the face, making Xia En feel refreshed. At the same time, the secret power in his body seemed to be stimulated by this force, gradually becoming restless and even boiling! The scene in front of me also suddenly changed. Before the light and shadow flickered, he only saw a name on the panel Old daily salary fire! (End of chapter) Chapter 351 The life experience of King Xin! A flash Chapter 351 The life experience of King Xin! A flashback of history! [Old Daily Fire]? What is that? Before Xia En could think any more, the brilliant firelight completely overwhelmed his vision. The color of the fire was unlike any flame he had ever seen. It looks like just white, but in fact it seems to be a mixture of countless colors, finally forming a white form. If I had to say it, this is probably the so-called "colorful white." The next moment. The grand bells of a church echoed in Xia En''s mind, and scenes of wonderful scenes slowly unfolded before his eyes. The steel warships galloping on the ice sea dispersed from the torrent; Countless approaching ships departed in reverse; Glaciers and sea levels continue to decline, and the entire ice sea has returned to its former deserted state... Seeing this, Xia En was greatly shocked. These scenes seem to be scenes that can only happen if time goes back in the Far North. In other words, this is a rewind of history! ? Obviously, this scrolling scene is not just the period from "the prophecy of the great flood came out" to the present. The sun rises and falls, the clouds roll and relax in the sky, the ocean tides rise and fall, the ice layers separate and close... Time keeps moving towards older years. As the flood subsided and the sea level dropped, a vast land appeared in Xia En''s eyes. On that land was a ruin shrouded in raging fire. The land is devastated and scorched. Then, the flames disappeared, and the outline of [Great Yan Kingdom] at its peak came into Xia En''s field of vision. Immediately, the city turned into scattered villages and then into a desolate wilderness. The first residents, known as the "sinful people", were exiled to this bitter cold land... From now to the past, endless images washed through Shane''s consciousness. And unknowingly, Xia En felt extremely surging heat around his body, as if he was in an extremely high temperature environment. Shane looked back. Endless blazing red broke into his eyes. The rock walls illuminated by the fire, the uneven rocks, the gray gas that continues to escape, and... the gurgling magma! Almost instantly, Xia En recognized his surroundings. here it is The deepest part of a volcano! Suddenly, Xia En felt something in his heart and looked towards the magma below. I saw a human baby lying in the flowing hot magma! His body surface is covered with countless dark red lines, which flicker in and out of the magma, as if they are absorbing nutrients from the volcano. "He is... Yan Yan?" "This is the volcano where Yan Yan was born?" A guess arose in Xia En''s mind, and what made his heart beat suddenly was... At this moment, the baby lying in the magma suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him intently! In those dark red eyes, Xia En could not see any human emotions. Some are just an indescribable indifference. If you really want to say it, it seems to be the attitude of gods towards human beings and those who are like ants. It can even be said that Xia En saw something in this little baby... Divinity! It was only then that Xia En suddenly realized something he had ignored before. The legend that King Xin was born from a volcano is not a secret in the Seven Seas. But most people only regard this as a manifestation of Wang Xin''s "innate sanctity", but do not think deeply about the reasons behind it. But now, when Xia En saw the newborn Yan Yan with his own eyes, he came to a guess - Yan Yan might not be a real human being at all! He may be a projection of a **** or some other strange existence in the [Secret Sea] in the [Seven Seas World]. Only in order to adapt to the environment of this world, we chose to grow and exist as humans. This can also explain the [divine nature] carried by Yan Yan at this time, as well as his immortality characteristics and the secret power of fire that transcend common sense. Of course, this is just Xia En''s guess, and we can''t make a conclusion yet. At the same time, many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. The baby in the magma has undergone some strange changes. The indifferent [divinity] in him is quickly dissipating, replaced by human nature. The little face even frowned, making an expression that looked like confusion and thinking. As for these expressions, Xia En unexpectedly felt that they were somewhat similar. Soon, he came to his senses - The reason why he felt similar was because the baby was imitating his own expression at this time! Likewise, what the baby simulates is the divinity in Shane. Realizing this, Xia En''s heart once again set off a huge wave. What he was in now was clearly just a reflection of history. He is just a bystander looking back at history. In theory, Shane should be unable to interfere with these historical events. So, is the baby imitating his actions just an illusion, or is it something that actually happened in the past? Could it be said that when Yan Yan was first born, he had seen his future self and thus initially possessed some humanity? But, how is this possible? In any case, this speculation is a bit too shocking. Even Xia En found it extremely incredible. But at this time, the changes in front of Xia En did not end. As the magma surges, the stagnant time rolls forward again. The little baby closed its eyes again, and its body gradually shrank, then shrank again... He went from baby to embryo to... A flame? Yes, it is a cluster of milky white flames! The moment he saw the flames, Xia En thought of the wooden box he opened earlier. The flame that jumped out of the wooden box was from the same source as this flame. "So, this is Yan Yan''s true form?" Xia En murmured to himself: "The flame he gave me was actually a wisp of his original fire?" "But why would he do this?" At this time, the words that Xia En could not see clearly resurfaced again. Old Daily Fire [Quality: Myth] [Type: unknown] [Description: A ray of fire from the depths of the "Secret Sea". [It was born in the earliest years when the "Secret Sea" was opened, and originated from the first civilization in the "Secret Sea"! [That period of untraceable, dark, ancient times is called - the old days! [The use of flame is a symbol of civilization. [The desire for fire is the yearning for civilization. [Before being swallowed by darkness, as long as there is a ray of fire passed down, this civilization will not be completely destroyed. [The firepower is passed down from generation to generation and never ends. After reading these descriptions, Xia En was shocked again. "Mythical" qualities don''t even seem to matter in the face of these descriptions. Xia En suspected that the reason why the quality of this [Old Day Fire] is "mythical" is not because its quality is only mythical, but because the upper limit of the quality of the items on the panel is mythical! "The ancient era when [Secret Sea] was opened...the old days?" "The first civilization born in the [Secret Sea]..." "The fire that has been passed down countless times?" Xia En murmured in shock. "So, is this the true origin of Yan Yan?" Xia En had guessed before that Yan Yan''s true identity must be unusual. It was only when he truly knew Yan Yan''s origins that he realized that his previous guesses were still too conservative. "It''s just, what does it mean to be...''swallowed by darkness''?" Soon, Shane noticed something else. The civilization in [Secret Sea] is definitely stronger than the civilization in [Seven Seas World]. But even these civilizations seem to encounter some kind of terrible disaster, causing the civilization to be swallowed by "darkness". And the remaining "fire" of these civilizations can only escape to other [secret realms] like the spaceships in the "Spark Project" in science fiction works. Come to think of it, Yan Yan came to the [Seven Seas World] precisely because of this. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. "So, wouldn''t Yan Yan be considered an alien... Oh no, should I say an outsider? An alien god?" However, regardless of Yan Yan''s true identity, in Xia En''s heart, he will always be a crew member on his ship. Moreover, Yan Yan himself may have long regarded himself as a person in this world and the salary king of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Only then will he try his best to save this world that is targeted by [Huisi Ming]. Without waiting for Xia En to think more. That mysterious and unique secret power once again burst out from the [Old Fire of the Day] in front of him. This time, Xia En felt a sudden sense of weightlessness. My consciousness and soul are constantly falling. Until a certain invisible but real barrier is broken through. Xia En is already very familiar with this feeling. This is the sign of diving into the [Secret Sea]. Sure enough, when Xia En opened his eyes again, what he saw was the deep sea full of stars and light marks. To be honest, no matter how many times I have seen it, Xia En will always be amazed by this sight every time I witness this vast and mysterious [Secret Sea]. That feeling is probably similar to the shock when humans look up at the stars for the first time, right? But soon, Xia En realized that the sinking feeling was far from gone. His body seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, constantly approaching an illusory light bubble in the [Secret Sea]. It was a little different from the light bubbles I had seen before. This light bubble appeared to flicker on and off, giving people an unreal feeling. In the blink of an eye. Xia En ran headlong into the bubble of light. What appears below is a vast and boundless continent. On the mainland, there are tall spiers emitting blue-purple light. Those spiers are unusually high, with spiers hundreds of meters or thousands of meters high. It is inlaid with some kind of special energy crystal. Shane saw some kind of power similar to magic energy from the crystal. In the steeple, there are countless people who look like magicians, working hard. Xia En couldn''t help but think of the so-called "Mage Tower." And the civilization in this [Secret Realm] seems to be supported by these mage towers. Xia En stood above the sky, like an observer, silently watching the evolution of this civilization. Seeing new minarets being built one after another, ancient minarets being destroyed, and the strange patterns carved on the minarets becoming more advanced and mysterious. The owners of the spire also often fought against each other. The most serious war spread to almost the entire continent and destroyed at least 70% of the "Mage Towers." But then, new spiers were re-established, and new strong men stood on top of the world again. Civilization found new life in its destruction. However, one day suddenly. The world is dark. It was very simple and dark without any warning. From then on, the sky never lit up again. Disaster has struck. Without any precautions, darkness and severe cold claimed the lives of 50% of the world''s civilians in a short period of time. And then The darkness becomes thicker and thicker, and more and more people die in the darkness. In the end, the darkness even blocked the sight of Shane, the observer, preventing him from peeking into this civilization. At this time, Xia En also suddenly woke up. What he saw was actually not the real [Secret Realm], but the afterimage left after the destruction of this [Secret Realm]. In other words, this is just a piece of history that happened in the past. Just like the starlight that people see when they look up at the sky, some of the starlight may have traveled countless light years to reach the earth. The stars as their own bodies may have been destroyed long ago. The scene that Xia En saw at this time was the light projected from the destroyed star. After figuring this out, Xia En''s body returned to the deep [Secret Sea]. The illusory bubble of light before disappeared completely like a bubble. Suddenly this time. A line of prompts flashed on the panel. [Career compatibility +10%! Xia En suddenly came back to his senses and couldn''t help but look happy. Yes. If he wants to improve his suitability for the profession [Secret Sea Walker], he must keep traveling through the [Secret Sea]. Some time ago, Xia En had been using [Deep Sea Diving] to go to [The Furnace Secret Realm]. It''s just that the improved compatibility of the same [Secret Realm] continues to decrease as the number of times he visits increases. This is why Xia En has been unable to reach the threshold of the sixth level promotion ritual. And the current [Old Daily Fire] is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Xia En has realized that the sights the "Old Fire" took him to see and the "Secret Realm" he went to were actually its past history and the way it came. Just what the description says. [Old Day Fire] carries more than just one or two civilizations. Sure enough. In the blink of an eye, a pulling force similar to before came from the [Secret Sea]. Another illusory bubble of light, getting closer and closer to Xia En. Later, Xia En followed the path that the [Old Fire] took and came to one destroyed [Secret Realm] after another. Different civilizations were born in these [secret realms]. There are civilizations that depend on each other and grow together with their pet animals; There is a civilization where people temper their energy and blood, practice martial arts, and martial arts flourish; There are also civilizations that use technology to transform the world without revealing their extraordinary power... Xia En walked through the [Secret Sea], overlooking the rise and fall of these civilizations with a detached attitude, watching their ups and downs... (End of chapter) Chapter 352 Break through the sixth level! Hidden pr Chapter 352 Breaking through the sixth level! Hidden profession[Secret Keeper! It seemed like only a short second had passed, but it also seemed like a century. Time seems to have lost its meaning at this moment. Xia En is located in the [Secret Sea], watching the birth, rise, and even destruction of previous civilizations one after another. In the process, his state of mind changed from shock and disbelief at the beginning to becoming calm and even vaguely detached. At this moment, Xia En seemed to have really understood the meaning of the so-called "Secret Sea Walker"! As you walk, you will see and hear scenery. At the same time, Xia En also had a different feeling in his heart - In the face of eternal time, individuals and even civilizations are so small and fragile. It''s like a bubble that''s about to burst. Perhaps some people will fall into nihilism in front of this scene and think that life''s efforts are meaningless. But Shane felt exactly the opposite. Even though every civilization eventually perished in that sudden "dark" disaster. But before that, those civilizations also shined as brightly as diamonds. There are countless talented people emerging, just like the stars shining. Xia En even discovered that the more a civilization is on the verge of destruction, the more amazing its potential and power are. If each civilization were personified, it would probably be their last struggle before extinction. Because of this, Xia En became more determined in his thoughts In this limited time, he must try his best to shine in this world and leave his own traces. In addition to the continuous growth of [Career Fit] on the panel. Xia En is also undergoing a unique transformation in the process of traveling through the [Secret Sea]. This transformation is difficult to describe. It is not only an improvement in the level of secret power and soul power, but also a sublimation and detachment of mind. In fairy tale novels, this is probably what is called "enlightenment!" Although it did not help Xia En''s strength in a short period of time. But it will be of great benefit to his future secret journey and reduce many obstacles for him. After leaving another [Secret Realm] that had been destroyed, Xia En returned to the vast and deep [Secret Sea] again. At this time, the [Old Daily Fire] in front of him had become quite weak, as if it would go out at any time. This is also inevitable. After all, this flame is just a ray of original fire separated from Yan Yan, and it is not a complete [Old Fire]. And after taking Xia En back to so many [Secret Realm Afterimages] and having Xia En absorb the secret power from them, the remaining power of this [Old Fire] was already running low. But at this time, Xia En no longer needs to rely on its power. Xia En opened his eyes and slowly looked around. The [Secret Sea] is as dark and deep as ever, and countless [Secret Realms] are like stars scattered in every corner. The terrifying and dangerous [Secret Sea] giant is hidden in the depths of the [Secret Sea], in the shadow of those "starlights". Everything looked the same as before. However, in Xia En''s eyes, the entire [Secret Sea] was completely different from what he remembered. He seemed to be able to see invisible threads in the [Secret Sea]. They are connected and intertwined in a mysterious and mysterious way, forming a huge network that is difficult to describe in words, including everything in the [Secret Sea]. That''s not just a special connection between different [secret realms]. It is a certain kind of rule that ordinary people cannot capture at all. Or rather Law! For no reason, a completely unfamiliar word popped into Xia En''s mind. But it gave Shane a very appropriate feeling, as if it should be the case. "[Law]..." Xia En chewed this word silently, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. This [Law] is naturally not the law of a certain country or [Secret Realm], but the rules that need to be followed in this entire [Secret Sea]! These are the most basic and unchangeable laws! Boom After realizing this, there was a thunderous sound in Xia En''s mind. The secret power accumulated from previous travels in the [Secret Realm] finally burst out suddenly at this time. Like a "fish" trapped in the deep sea without seeing the light of day, it finally jumped out of the sea. A brand new world appeared in front of Xia En. As you climb up the ranks, your soul sublimates! [You have peeked into the deepest secrets of the "Secret Sea"! You have touched a corner of the "Great Law"! [Hidden secret career in employment: Secret Keeper (Level 6)! [Description: The secrets of the "Secret Sea" cannot be told to others in conventional ways. They can only be understood by experiencing it personally. From now on, secrets...will become your strength! [But contacting secrets is inherently dangerous. Please be sure to maintain your sanity and humanity. [Lose your mind and lose a lot;] [Losing humanity, losing everything! A waterfall-like flow of information washed past Xia En''s eyes. But Xia En''s first reaction was a little surprised - Am I promoted now? What about the promotion ritual for the sixth level? According to the normal promotion model, he should accept the trial of the [Secret Sea] and achieve promotion after completing the ritual. But this time, the process of breaking through to the sixth level seemed to have skipped the promotion ritual, which surprised Xia En. However, if you think about it carefully, it''s not that Xia En can''t understand it. In fact, Xia En''s previous journey through various [Secret Realm Afterimages] was in itself a test of his character. If you lose your confidence and fighting spirit because of the sights you see, let alone advance, you will probably "lose your Taoist heart" completely and be unable to make any progress on the secret path. As for Xia En''s guess. Another reason why he was promoted to the sixth level this time without being promoted to Ritual Technique is probably... The [Great Law] mentioned on the panel that he just spied on! Xia En actually still has many questions about the existence of the [Great Law]. For example, when did this law exist in the [Secret Sea]? For another example, was it created by the [Secret Sea] on its own, or was it an artificially established existence? But putting aside these questions for the time being, Xia En has a bold guess in his mind - [Seven Sea World] The so-called [God Ascending Steps] and [Promotion Ritual] are actually the provisions of this [Great Law]! Xia En had previously found it strange why when a transcendent was promoted, his consciousness would be pulled into the [Secret Sea] for testing. It''s like a rigid and powerful program that operates according to certain rules. Thinking about it now, if [Promotion Ritual] is compared to a program, then [Great Law] is its underlying code! The [Great Law] stipulates that all extraordinary beings who reach a certain level must enter the [Promotion Ritual]. Those who complete the trial are successfully promoted; those who fail to complete the trial are classified as failures. Different [secret realms] may have different promotion methods and different extraordinary systems. But the core "underlying code", that is, the [Great Law] will not change. Look at it from this perspective. It can be said that the [Great Law] is the source of all extraordinary powers in the [Secret Sea] and the core of all extraordinary systems! Because of this, when Xia En spied the existence of the [Great Law]. In fact, the conditions for promotion to [Secret Keeper] are met, and there is no need to pass the trial assessment. It''s also for this reason. When Xia En was promoted this time, he felt completely different from his previous promotions. It is somewhat similar to the experience of truly coming into contact with extraordinary power and becoming a first-order mystic. Its like crossing a very special threshold and opening the door to a new world! Thinking of this, Xia En murmured secretly. The secrets of the [Secret Sea] cannot be told to others in conventional ways Only by experiencing it personally can one understand it. "Could it be that Yan Yan gave me the [Old Day Fire] because he wanted me to see the existence of the [Great Law] in person?" Just when Shane was thinking. The second wave of information washed out, belatedly appearing on the panel. [You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! [Comprehensive quality: 2530! [Unlock the exclusive talent of "Secret Keeper": Secret Echo! [Quality: Legend] [Description: "Secret" and "Secret Keeper" coexist. "Secret" has become your partner and strength. [Every time you come into contact with related things or experience an event personally, you can trace back their history and hide the "secrets" buried within them. [When these "hidden" truths are pieced together, you will draw unique power from them and unlock new entries. [The talent "Eye of Peeping Secrets" has changed! [Quality: Epic Legend! [Description: The "Secret Sea" gave you black eyes, but you used them to find "secrets". Your "Peeping Eye of Secrets" can not only see through the information of different "secret realms". [It can also make it easier to find things with "secret" and see through the hidden information behind them. [Under these eyes, there is no way to hide the "hidden" things. [Whenever you draw strength from "Secret", your career compatibility can be slightly improved. [Current career compatibility: 0%] After reading this information, Xia En looked thoughtful again. Obviously, similar to [Secret Sea Walker], [Secret Keeper] is a hidden profession that does not directly give him talents and skills for combat. Instead, it gave him the means to gain power. Xia En summed it up: "It means... you can become stronger by exploring the secrets?" However, Xia En is still a little unclear about the concept of "secret". What kind of things can be regarded as [hidden] things? Fortunately, soon, Xia En saw a new column of information at the bottom of the panel. [Current contact secret:] [The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan KingdomThe Great Yan Kingdom, which was once prosperous, was destroyed on the eve of the coming of the world-destroying flood. [People in the world only thought that the Great Yan Kingdom was destroyed by the great flood, but through your contact with the Black Flame Walker, King Xin, and Princess Great Yan, you had a vague glimpse of part of the truth of this incident. [But there is still a long way to go before the truth. [Solution density: 63%] [The disappearance of the elvesthe prosperous elves suddenly disappeared in the history of the Seven Seas world, leaving behind the curse of aphasia. [You have keenly noticed that the elves have not perished, but have migrated to a certain secret realm. [Its just that you are still missing the last piece of the puzzle leading to the truth. [Solution density: 90%] [Black Disastera terrifying disaster from the depths of the mysterious sea. No one knows why it appears. [Today, countless civilizations have been swallowed by darkness. [Perhaps, the dark wave has already accumulated not far away. [Solution density: 1%] Seeing these words, Xia En''s eyes suddenly narrowed. "Is this what is called [Secret]?" "Those truths buried by history and time?" In any case, Xia En originally planned to pursue the "mystery of the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" and the disappearance of the elves. And being able to receive the gift of cracking the [Secret] during this process is undoubtedly a big surprise. What surprised Shane was a little bit. "The disappearance of the elves" [secret], the decryption density is only 90%? He thought he had solved the mystery. But now it seems that he has overlooked a crucial factor. As for the so-called [Black Disaster]... Just seeing this name gave Xia En a chill in his heart. With the help of [Old Fire], Xia En saw the ruined civilizations one after another. And the reason why they were destroyed, without exception, was that weird darkness. In the panel, that disaster is called Black Disaster! Xia En had doubted at the beginning whether this disaster was related to [Humi Siming]. But after observing the destruction of several civilizations, he quickly gave up this speculation. This is a terrible disaster that is absolutely different from the invasion of [Husi Ming]. Even in those civilizations, there were clearly some powerful beings who could be called gods. But in the end, even they could not prevent the [Black Disaster] from coming, and could only watch the civilization being destroyed. From those darkness, Xia En sensed a pure malice toward life and civilization. It seems that only by eliminating all life will the wave of darkness completely subside. This is completely different from the feeling of [Huisiming]. The purpose of [Filthy Command] is to stir up chaos and absorb the power of filth and chaos. But if there is no life left, who will provide Him with the power of filth and chaos? From a certain perspective, [Huisiming] may still pursue "sustainable development." But [Black Disaster] is a complete and indiscriminate obliteration. Xia En even suspected that if [Hui Si Ming] faced the [Black Disaster], it would be no different from a fragile civilization and would not be able to resist the eradication of the [Black Disaster]. That is the truly terrifying disaster in [Secret Sea]! Moreover, [Black Disaster] seems to be expanding to other [Secret Realms]. Maybe one day, [Seven Seas World] will also be enveloped by it! Just imagining that scenario made Xia En''s hair stand on end, and even gave him a little despair. (End of chapter) Chapter 353 Dark Ice wakes up! Duel caused by quota! Chapter 353 Dark Ice wakes up! Duel caused by quota! It didn''t take long. Xia En calmed down his complicated thoughts. Rather than those more distant and terrifying disasters, what he should be more concerned about now is the immediate and imminent crisis The second great flood! And the [Great Flame] undead in the [Far North]! After all, if you can''t even get over this hurdle now, what''s the point of talking about the future? at the same time. The remaining secret power of [Old Fire] has finally dissipated. This tiny flame completed its mission and gradually extinguished before Xia En''s eyes. Immediately, Xia En''s consciousness rose rapidly, like a person who dived from the bottom of the sea and quickly floated upwards. The surrounding stars and streams of light quickly receded, disappearing together with the deep background of the [Secret Sea]. And shortly after Xia En''s consciousness left the [Secret Sea]. Deep in the [Secret Sea], in the endless galaxy, an eye vaguely opened. Its gaze fell on the place where Xia En disappeared just now, and it didn''t move away for a long time... As his consciousness emerged from the invisible "sea surface", Xia En suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. "call-" Looking at the room that was the same as before using the [Old Daily Fire], Xia Enchang exhaled a breath, feeling refreshed both physically and mentally. Even though the job he was promoted to this time did not directly increase his combat power. But in fact, the promotion process itself is a great opportunity. I would like to ask, which secret traveler in the [Seven Seas World] can travel through the [Secret Sea] and witness the rise and fall of civilizations in one [Secret Realm] after another? All those things he saw and heard became Xia En''s precious wealth. Not only did it broaden his horizons, but it also made his mind undergo a transformation, like turning a cocoon into a butterfly, which was completely different from before. Now Xia En seems to be able to see clearly the operation of secret power and the essence of secret techniques from a higher dimension. The contact with the [Great Law] pointed out the direction for Xia En''s future path. It can be said that a "smooth road to the sky" has been paved! Moreover, the increase in combat power is small, only compared to Xia En''s previous promotions. Xia En could feel that under the influence of [Old Fire], his secret power seemed to become more delicate. As if it had been calcined by flames, there was some slight improvement. Get closer to the level of the so-called "secret power of the gods". The overall quality of 5 points is actually the most inconspicuous improvement in this promotion. After feeling his own condition, Xia En couldn''t help but look happy: "I didn''t expect that this breakthrough to the sixth level would be so smooth." "In this way, we will be one step closer to the legendary realm." "Moreover, we will be more confident in solving the crisis of [Great Yan]." But it didn''t take long for Shane to calm down. "By the way, I don''t know how long it took me to get promoted." "It would be terrible if the operation had already begun." As a result, Xia En quickly found Sha Jingjing stationed nearby. "Lord Holy Son!" Seeing Xia En coming, Sha Jingjing subconsciously wanted to pounce on him as usual. But inexplicably, after getting close to Xia En, Sha Jingjing shivered for no reason, and her body began to tremble unconsciously. [Yueyong Clan] usually have beast-like intuition. As the former saint, Sha Jingjing''s intuition is naturally sharper. In her perception, Xia En seemed to have undergone some indescribable changes. Something to say. Xia En seemed to have become a starry sky and a deep sea, vast and boundless. If you explore on your own, you will only get lost in the endless depth. There is even an aura that can be called "great" about him. Just sensing it makes people aware of their own insignificance and ignorance. However, that "great breath" does not look like Xia En''s own breath, but like the residue after contact with some kind of existence. What Sha Jingjing didn''t know was. Those are the traces of the [Great Law] left on Xia En. At the same time that Xia En observed the [Great Law], the [Great Law] also discovered his existence. Of course, [The Great Law] did not take the initiative to do anything. But just the passive contact with Xia En also made his soul transcend the category of ordinary mystics, leaving some insignificant traces. Those with weak senses on the secret path may not be able to detect the existence of such traces. On the contrary, those beings who have begun to come into contact with higher realms, such as legendary strongmen and gods, will be frightened by such "traces" and have instinctive fear. "Lord Holy Son, has the breakthrough been successful?" Sha Jingjing said to herself in her heart: "And this shuddering breath...what''s going on?" Compared with when they first met, Xia En''s strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. So much so that now Sha Jingjing can only look up! But Sha Jingjing didn''t have any jealousy about this, she just thought. "As expected of the Holy Son!" "I also have to try my best to help the Holy Son." Xia En didn''t know what Sha Jingjing was thinking, so he just asked directly. "Sha Jingjing, how long has it been since I entered the room?" Sha Jingjing immediately reported: "Reporting to the Holy Son, you came to the [Rhine Secret Realm] yesterday morning. It is still morning and it is less than 24 hours." After learning the news, Xia En couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. "That''s good." But considering that the action against [Great Yan] could be launched at any time, he did not stay too long in [Rhine Secret Realm]. After a few simple instructions to Sha Jingjing, Xia En returned to the [Seven Seas World]. in the room. Joey was pacing back and forth anxiously, worry and uneasiness written all over his little face. "Mr. Captain, why haven''t you come back yet?" "If this continues..." At this moment, a silvery white light lit up in front of Joey, a light door opened, and Shane walked out. "What will happen if this continues?" Shane''s soft voice sounded in Joey''s ears: "What happened while I was away?" Seeing Xia En, whose aura had become significantly stronger, Joey suddenly beamed with joy. She did not bother to congratulate Xia En on his promotion for the time being, but said quickly. "Mr. Captain, you are finally back!" "An Bing...Dan Bing is awake!" "And now, she is about to duel with that war mad Benny!" Hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly: "What?" "What''s going on?" Joey looked at the time and said, "The duel is about to start. Let''s talk as we walk." Afterwards, Joey led Xia En towards the open space in the military camp. Along the way, she quickly explained to Xia En what happened during the day. It turned out that not long after Xia En entered the [Rhine Secret Realm], An Bing woke up from his coma. From the words of Irina and Sergey, An Bing also learned about this operation against the undead [Great Flame]. Due to the recruitment operation in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] camp, this matter is not a secret. As the former Princess of Great Yan and one of the few Great Yan people in the Seven Seas, An Bing naturally has special feelings for [Great Yan]. So, after learning about the current situation, An Bing wanted to volunteer and participate in this operation. Although Irina and I tried to persuade them, they had almost no effect. The temperament of Princess Dayan is not ordinary stubborn. Moreover, from another perspective, Irina and the others have no reason to stop An Bing from doing this. It may also be their inner wish that the Great Yan people should deal with this undead named [Great Yan]. And that''s when. But Benny came to the door and challenged Xia En by name. This is both for a spot in action and to prove myself. As for the fact that Xia En was in seclusion, Benny thought that he was too timid to fight and was deliberately avoiding him, with a very mocking tone. Joey and others were extremely angry about this. But it has to be said that Benny does have the arrogance to defeat several sixth-order powerhouses. It is indeed not comparable to the crew members except Jane. Even Carles was not completely sure of defeating him. Just when Carles was preparing to fight for Shane, An Bing stepped forward and easily accepted Benny''s challenge. Just what An Bing said. On the one hand, this is to repay Xia En for awakening her, and on the other hand, it is for the quota for this operation! That''s how this duel happened. "That''s pretty much what happened." After Joey explained the ins and outs of the incident, the two of them rushed to the open space in the center of the military camp. At this time, a considerable number of secret travelers have gathered in this open space. There are both regular federal troops and volunteer troops from all forces. Bustling and lively. However, it is obvious that there is an invisible boundary between the federal regular army and the volunteer army. Although there is no clear distinction between Jingwei and Jingwei, most of them maintain a certain distance. The reason behind this is not difficult to understand. Many people in the volunteer army are pirates who wreak havoc on the sea, and have a hostile relationship with the federal navy. Just like Benny''s parents died at the hands of pirates. There is often a lot of hatred between navy and pirates, just like officials and thieves. It is possible to ignore the external pressure for the time being, but it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to be as close as real colleagues. "Who is that woman? There is a [Black Flame Walker] following her closely!" "I remember...[Black Flame Walker] will only obey the orders of [King Xin], right?" "Does she have anything to do with King Xin?" Along the way, Xia En and the two heard a lot of discussions, obviously discussing An Bing''s mysterious identity. However, people probably wouldnt have thought that An Bing would be the princess of [King Xin]! Someone said: "She is pretty good-looking, but I don''t know how strong she is?" "Huh, no matter what, she can''t be Benny''s opponent. The name of the war mad is not just talk!" The person who said this was a young officer. From the standard military uniform on his body and the military rank on his shoulders, it is not difficult to tell that he should be the "young man" in Moritz''s words. This person has strong confidence in Benny, and is even slightly fanatical. "I can say that Major Benny is the number one among the legends!" "Those minions with unknown origins who challenge him are just humiliating themselves." On the other hand, this officer''s attitude towards the "irregular troops" in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] seems a bit contemptuous and arrogant. From his eyes, you can even see a hint of disgust. See the big from the small. This officer''s attitude reflects the attitude of the "young men" to a certain extent. They have strong confidence in the federal regular army and believe that they can solve this disaster and save the world without the assistance of the "volunteer army". Just then. A voice rang in the officer''s ears. "Really? I don''t think so." "Who?" The officer turned around suddenly and saw Shane leading Joey to his side. "Who are you" The officer vaguely felt that Xia En looked familiar, but failed to recognize his identity. at the same time. Xia En turned to look at the field. From this distance, he could actually see the scene in the center of the clearing. Benny seemed to be making final warm-up preparations, while An Bing was saying something to Irina beside him. Shane''s original plan was to stop this duel from happening and defeat Benny in person, which could be regarded as fulfilling his promise to General Moritz. However, when he saw this scene not far away, Xia En changed his mind. Just because he saw a strong confidence in An Bing. That kind of self-confidence is exactly the same as his, relying on strong strength. Xia En believed that since An Bing accepted this challenge, he must have his own confidence. On the other hand. The former [Great Yan] turned into an undead soul. If anyone is the most suitable person to give him final relief, it is obviously [Great Yan]''s own people. Xia En believes that An Bing should indeed be involved in this operation. Naturally, she can only win the spot she wants. Because of these reasons, Xia En temporarily changed his plan and prepared to witness the result of this battle with his own eyes. Of course the officers on the side did not know these secrets. He quickly saw that Xia En was not a member of the regular army. However, just when the officer wanted to use this to taunt him, there was a chill in his heart for no reason, as if his instinct was giving an early warning. This means that the other party''s strength may be far greater than yours! Xia En had just broken through to the sixth level, and his aura had not yet completely converged, coupled with his experience in the [Secret Sea]. The weaker Secret Pathers will feel frightened just by being close to him. Although this officer is biased against the irregular army, he is not really an idiot. He still has basic respect for the strong. He gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Why did this gentleman say this?" "That woman should be an ordinary sixth-level secret traveler." "And Major Benny has a record of defeating several sixth-level powerhouses!" Xia En was too lazy to argue with him and said calmly. "The record doesn''t matter." "Who wins and who loses can only be known by actually playing." That''s when. On the field, Benny takes a step forward... (End of chapter) Chapter 354 The origin of [Instant Time], the secret Chapter 354 The origin of [Instant Time], the secret of traveling through time and space "Are you ready?" Benny stood up and walked towards An Bing. "It''s almost time. It wouldn''t be good to delay the war of our colleagues because of our personal affairs." "So, I will resolve the battle quickly." When he said this, Benny had a hint of a wanton and arrogant smile on his face. "It might hurt a little, so you have to endure it." The reason why Benny is nicknamed "War Mad" is because of his fanaticism in challenging other strong men. Another reason is that after entering a fighting state, he will become a little crazy, thinking only about the pursuit of victory! A better word is called "war madness", a worse word is a "mad dog!" Some Secret Pathers do not want to offend Benny, but this is actually the reason. Compared with Benny who couldn''t wait and seemed a little arrogant. An Bing not far away seemed to have gone to the other extreme. Her expression was always cold and arrogant, like an eternal iceberg, expressionless. Neither the discussions of other soldiers nor Benny''s provocation could make her mood fluctuate in any way. Perhaps, this is An Bing''s original and true character. She had shown so many emotions in front of Xia En before, purely because she had just woken up and the information she learned was too shocking. However, looking at An Bing in the field, Xia En felt strange for no reason. Did Yan Yan like this type of woman in the past? Obviously one is extremely cold ice and the other is blazing flame. Such two people eventually got married, which made Xia En quite surprised and curious. Or is this what is called complementarity? Just when Xia En was gossiping a little in his heart, An Bing finally spoke. "I have said before that the war can start at any time." "Now that you''re ready, come on." After saying that, An Bing waved his hand and motioned for Irina and the two to step back. At this moment, an invisible domain force expanded in the field. This seemed to be a secret technique used by several officers in the crowd to block the aftermath of the battle between the two An Bing and avoid hurting other soldiers. At this time, there were not many people watching nearby. Many people came to witness this challenge with the mentality of watching the fun. In a desolate, extremely cold, barren place like [the Far North], there is no means of entertainment. Probably... Moritz would make such a duel process public, not only to boost confidence and eliminate bad habits, but also to relax the tense nerves of the soldiers. It can also be regarded as a popular entertainment activity. With the deployment of protective measures. Benny quickly became serious. He took a deep breath, and under the stimulation of the invisible secret power, the energy and blood in his body surged like a big river in an instant. Boom! Boom! Boom! A dull sound like thunder sounded. That sound came from Benny''s chest, his heart was beating! The violent heat wave radiated in all directions, bringing up a gust of hot wind, and the ice under his feet continued to melt. Even in the midst of ice and snow, it''s like a midsummer has suddenly arrived. It can be seen that Bennys physical body and the secret power of Qi and blood are powerful! "What secret technique is this?!" In the crowd, some secret seekers immediately exclaimed: "I have never seen such secret power..." This secret technique of Qi and blood condenses the power into the Mystic Path itself, rather than using some kind of magic to cause lethality. On the Seven Seas, it is also extremely rare. Seeing the shock in the eyes of those "miscellaneous soldiers", the officer next to Xia En suddenly gave a proud smile. "This is Major Benny''s unique secret power of Qi and blood." "With its blessing, Major Benny is like a real humanoid beast, unstoppable when charging on the battlefield!" "It is said that this special secret technique comes from a destroyed [secret realm]. It is normal that most people have never seen it." The officer glanced at Xia En intentionally or unintentionally. Although he didn''t dare to target Xia En directly, he still had the guts to say something strange and angry. Xia En didn''t care about the officer''s offense, but murmured in a low voice. "The secret technique of another [Secret Realm]?" Of course, he still remembered that when traveling through the [Secret Realm Afterimage], he encountered a civilization where people tempered their bodies and studied martial arts. Perhaps, this unique secret technique of qi and blood came from that [secret realm]. As for the fact that Benny obtained the secret technique of qi and blood, there is actually nothing surprising. In the world, everyone has his or her own opportunities and adventures. And those who can become sixth-level secret path practitioners naturally have their own unique abilities. Coupled with Benny''s status as the "grandson of Moritz", it is not that surprising that he could obtain such a secret skill. In the field. Facing the menacing Benny, An Bing still stood in place, like an iceberg that never wavered on the ice sea. However, those with keen observation can see it. The ice under Dark Ice''s feet is still hard and cold. When the heat wave emanating from Benny was about to approach her side, it was as if it was hindered by some invisible force and could not move forward. "As expected...your power is also extraordinary." "However, this is just fine. What''s the point of fighting without any suspense?" Seeing this, Benny was not surprised but happy, a flash of blood flashed in his eyes, and he licked the corner of his mouth excitedly. The madness became more and more obvious. The next moment. Benny slammed his feet on the ground, and as the ice beneath his feet undulated and shattered, he rushed towards the dark ice like a cannonball. And what surprised everyone was. Facing Benny''s attack, An Bing did not dodge or evade, but faced him head-on. There was a loud bang amidst the screams of the air. That seemingly petite fist collided directly with Benny''s fist. The aftermath of the collision directly caused large cracks to appear on the ground. In the shocked eyes of everyone, the collision between An Bing and Benny turned out to be evenly matched. Xia En''s eyes narrowed, but he could see that An Bing was not using pure physical power. Instead, there was a special cold secret power lingering around her, forming a layer of armor-like existence. It is with the blessing of this layer of "armor" that she can compete head-on with Benny. Next, the two sides fought faster and faster. Benny circled the dark ice and shot continuously, hitting back and forth like a meteor. The secret power of red and ice blue collided wantonly, making people dazzled. The weaker Mystic Pathers couldn''t even see clearly the movements of the two. "How could..." The officers beside Xia En couldn''t help but be frightened by An Bing''s display of strength, with expressions of surprise on their faces. In his expectation, this should have been a battle without any suspense. But now Dark Bing can actually be evenly matched with Benny in the field he is best at? ! Suddenly this time. Benny paused and pulled out a long **** knife from his waist. There was a strong **** aura wrapped around the knife, and one could tell at a glance that it had killed countless people, and there was even substantial resentment and evil energy condensed on the blade. "Be careful. Once this knife comes out, even I may not be able to hold it back." Benny gave a tentative reminder. Then, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and his speed skyrocketed again. Almost just a breather. Benny came to An Bing! I saw him slashing out from top to bottom with his sword, and the blood-red sword shadow moved inch by inch towards An Bing with the momentum of splitting the sky and splitting the earth. The raging murderous intent exploded at the moment Benny took out the knife, making all the soldiers and secret travelers present feel their hearts twitch violently. But just at this moment. An indescribable and terrifying chill was suddenly released with Dark Ice as the center. This chill is not just the cold caused by ordinary low temperatures, but also a regular and conceptual cold. Even scarier than the so-called and legendary "absolute zero"! The things it can freeze are not only regular existences, but also qi, blood, secret power, and even soul, space, and time! It can be said that this is a kind of lawful power called [Freeze]! The scope of this coldness is not large, only an area around Dark Ice. It happened to include Benny who was attacking her. I saw Benny''s body frozen in place, and even the knife he was cutting came to a standstill at an extremely fast speed. The huge kinetic energy, the secret power of qi and blood, and the violent evil energy wrapped around the blade all seemed to have been pressed to a halt. It''s like a pot of boiling water suddenly freezing. It only took less than a second to go from extreme movement to extreme stillness. Benny''s eyes widened in astonishment, and even this movement was frozen by the chill. His body was quickly covered in frost, and his beard and hair were covered with large ice crystals. Not only that, even his thoughts became extremely slow and dull, as if his soul''s perception of the outside world had been frozen. No matter how surging the secret power of qi and blood in his body is, he can''t break away from this cold confinement and can''t get rid of the shackles of this body. No matter how powerful this secret power is, as long as it cannot be summoned, it is the same as nothing. Immediately, An Bing raised his right hand. An ice-blue thin sword made of ice crystals was placed against Benny''s neck. The cold murderous intent seemed to penetrate deep into Benny''s bones through his skin. At this time, An Bing said her first words after the war. "You lost." After saying that, the rapier in An Bing''s hand collapsed into ice crystals. He never looked at Benny again and turned to look at the other people present. "Who else wants to challenge me?" This series of events has been a long one. But in fact, from the time Benny took out the long knife to the time he was defeated, it only took a few blinks of an eye. At this time, looking at Benny who was frozen in place motionless, and hearing An Bing''s speech, everyone was shocked and in an uproar. "What just happened?" "Why did Major Benny suddenly lose?" The weaker Mysterians couldn''t even tell what was going on. I only saw that Benny, who had the upper hand one second, lost the ability to resist the next second. On the side, the officer''s face was quite ugly. He didn''t dare to look at Xia En anymore and muttered to himself. "Major Benny...actually lost?" "Who is that woman?" In response, Joey couldn''t help but cheered: "Okay!" "I didn''t expect Miss An Bing to be so powerful!" When the officer was talking beside them just now, Joy wanted to quarrel with him. Now seeing An Bing win, she naturally couldn''t help but feel proud. Compared to the shock of others, Xia En''s expression remained calm and calm. Because he had already expected that An Bing would win. However, this does not mean that he is not surprised. In fact, Xia En''s heart also set off huge waves - just because of... the strange freezing ability displayed by Dark Ice! Xia En felt inexplicably familiar with this power. If you think about it carefully, when he uses the silver pocket watch called [Momentary Time], the surrounding time and space will fall into a strange frozen state. Intuition told Xia En that there might be some profound connection between the two. This immediately made Xia En''s attitude become serious. There are always a lot of doubts about my experience of traveling through time and space twice, and even the origin of [Instant Time]. Even now, Xia En has never found a reasonable explanation. After all, traveling through time and space is really incredible. At this moment, Xia En''s heart was naturally rippled by the sudden discovery of relevant information. That''s when. Xia En found that in his eyes, An Bing not far away seemed to have a hazy color lingering on him. Like some kind of light, but also like a strange mist. After careful observation, Xia En even saw a piece of information in it. [Princess DayanDark Ice] [It may contain clues to the "mystery of Great Flame''s demise" and "the secret of traveling through time and space". "This is" Enlightenment arose in Xia En''s heart. This seems to be the effect of the upgraded [Peeping Eyes]. Can determine the key people and things about [Secret]. Immediately, Xia En no longer hesitated and walked directly towards An Bing in the field. Dark Bing had just defeated Benny, so he deservedly became the center of attention. Xia En''s actions quickly attracted the attention of others. "Who is that person? Doesn''t he want to challenge this woman?" "Wait...he seems to be Xia En!" "It is said that he was the one who originally challenged Major Benny, but in the end this lady accepted the challenge on his behalf." "Then what does he want to do when he comes here now?" As such discussions began, everyone looked at Xia En with a strange look. No matter what, it is always a little unreasonable to let a woman face this kind of thing for herself. Xia En didn''t care about the looks of others and walked straight to An Bing. "Captain Shane?" An Bing was stunned and blinked in confusion: "Do you want to challenge me?" From her perspective, she had just said "who else" when Xia En walked up. Dont you just want to challenge yourself? Xia En glanced at An Bing unexpectedly. Does this Princess Dayan still have some natural attributes? He shook his head and said, "How could that be?" "I have another thing for you." With that said, Xia En took out the [Momentary Time] that he carried with him from his arms and asked seriously. "Have you seen this pocket watch?" (End of chapter) Chapter 355 Dark Ice and Xin Wang Chapter 355 Dark Ice and King Xin "This is" The moment he saw the silver pocket watch, An Bing''s cold expression suddenly changed and he asked coldly. "Where did you get this?" "Give it to me." As she said that, she reached out and tried to take away the pocket watch. [Moment of Time] is related to the secret of Shane traveling through time and space and returning to the past, and even related to Laila''s life and death, which is extremely important to him. Naturally, it was impossible for Xia En to hand it over so easily. Therefore, he took a step back and avoided An Bing''s outstretched hand. "Miss An Bing, what do you want to do?" At this time, An Bing was no longer as calm and calm as before, but instead became a little abnormally impatient and angry. An Bing looked at [The Moment of Time] and repeated again: "Captain Xia En, give it to me." Xia En frowned slightly and his attitude became a little serious. "What if I say no?" Unlike other crew members, his friendship with An Bing was just a chance encounter. If it weren''t for Yan Yan''s relationship, Xia En might not have rescued Princess Yan. If An Bing wanted to **** this silver pocket watch from her, Xia En would never coddle her. An Bing also saw a determined attitude from Xia En''s words. However, this pocket watch also has extraordinary significance to her. After hesitating for a moment, An Bing''s eyes flashed with determination and he said, "Then, please let me challenge you." "If I win, give me this pocket watch and the quota for the action." Xia En''s eyes changed again. He did not directly agree to An Bing''s challenge, but asked. "Are you sure?" "Not to mention that this is only a one-sided bet. Even if I beat you, there will be no benefit." "Secondly, I woke you up from your long sleep. Is this Princess Dayan''s attitude towards her benefactor?" If it were an ordinary stranger, Xia En would of course directly agree to such an unreasonable challenge and teach her how to behave in the most violent and direct way. However, An Bing is Dayan''s princess and Yan Yan''s wife! If An Bing really insists on challenging himself, Xia En will have to examine whether this stupid woman is qualified to be Yan Yan''s wife. When he said this, Xia En''s previously suppressed breath spread out again without reservation. As his momentum exploded, the surrounding soldiers and secret travelers couldn''t help but change their expressions, and looked at Xia En with fear and fear. Previously, in the eyes of these onlookers, Xia En''s aura was not very powerful. Combined with the rumor that he was suspected of "avoiding war", many people subconsciously had a contemptuous attitude, thinking that he was a pretty boy who was just a freeloader. Regarding the dispute between Xia En and An Bing, people are looking to watch the excitement and gossip, and want to see Xia En''s jokes! But at this time, they realized that this was not the case at all! After just completing his promotion, Xia En''s body still retains the aura from [Old Fire], [Secret Sea], and... [Great Law]. These three are all existences that transcend the [Seven Seas World]. His high status is far beyond people''s imagination. Even if there is only a little residual breath, Xia En looks like a bottomless abyss. The man seemed to be standing in front of them, but he was actually standing in some higher dimension, quietly watching the changes in the galaxy and civilization. In the eyes of some people with keen inspiration, Xia En exudes bursts of twisted brilliance. The color of that light transcends all colors in the world and can hardly be described in any words or language. It contains infinite mystery and weirdness. Just staring at this light makes people tremble from the bottom of their hearts. "What happened?" "The aura on that man''s body... is so terrifying! It''s almost like the oppressive feeling that a legend gives people." "I remembered that Xia En seemed to have a record of killing sixth-level Mystic Pathfinders before." Someone said in surprise: "At that time, he was only at level five." "Is it really like what the woman said, that he just went into seclusion to get promoted?" "But how does this look like the sixth level?" Another person couldn''t help but complain: "Even ordinary legendary strong men don''t have such a terrifying aura, right?" Among the Secret Pathers, strength will ultimately speak for itself. As Xia En showed his aura, everyone''s attitude changed 180 degrees. On the side, Benny had just escaped from the frozen situation and regained his ability to move. The look on his face was extremely complicated. When he saw Shane before, Benny wanted to challenge him directly. After all, if you can''t defeat this mysterious dark ice, how can you still defeat Xia En? However, this sudden momentum made Benny swallow his words hard. He seems to be really unbeatable! After coming to this judgment, Benny suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration and depression in his heart. In the military, he had almost never met anyone of his own age who could get along with him. Who would have thought that two guys who could easily defeat him would suddenly appear at this time! Benny secretly said, "This male and this female are all monsters!" at the same time. The focus of everyone''s attention. Looking at Xia En in front of him, feeling the vast and profound momentum, An Bing''s expression changed several times, and finally he let out a long sigh. "Sorry, Captain Shane, I was impulsive." "However, even if I really challenge you, I won''t be your opponent." "I will explain it to you carefully about [Instant Time]." An Bing said after looking at the people watching around him. "This is not the place to talk, Captain Shane, please come with me." With that said, An Bing turned around and walked towards a barracks, and Xia En followed immediately. Although they didn''t see the two fighting, some onlookers were a little disappointed. But the aura that Xia En exuded earlier also made people realize that another legendary top powerhouse was born. This news is bound to spread within a small area. It also makes the name of the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En, remembered by more people! Similarly, due to the appearance of An Bing and Xia En, as well as Benny''s defeat, the soldiers knew that there were strong men and geniuses outside the army who should not be underestimated. The somewhat arrogant atmosphere among the federal regular army has also been somewhat restrained. Finally, Moritz''s request was fulfilled in another way. After entering this closed barracks. An Bing first glanced at Joey behind Xia En. Noticing her gaze, Xia En immediately understood what she meant and said directly: "It doesn''t matter." "Joy is someone I trust completely." "If it''s something you can tell me, there''s no need to hide it from her." Hearing this, Joey couldn''t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Xia En with growing attachment. After hearing Xia En''s words and seeing Joey''s expression, An Bing understood everything immediately. There was a little envy in her expression. "So you have this kind of relationship..." "It''s nice to have someone I can trust completely, unlike me and Sal..." Halfway through his words, An Bing closed his mouth as if he knew he had made a mistake, as if he didn''t want to talk about this topic again. Xia En felt itchy. In his life, he hated people who spoke half-talk. Wasn''t this deliberately arousing people''s curiosity and irresponsible? An Bing composed himself and continued. "Captain Shane, I apologize again for my actions just now." "In fact, this [moment of time] means so much to me that I lost my composure for a moment." "Also, I also learned from Irina how you woke me up. Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you." After saying that, An Bing bowed deeply to Xia En. Given her noble status as a princess, she had almost never done such a thing. For her, this not only requires a lot of courage, but also requires letting go of her former pride. However, An Bing still did this. Seeing this scene, Xia En changed his mind about Princess Dayan. She would want to take away [the moment of time], probably not because her personality is relieved, but really just a moment of excitement. Xia En said after accepting An Bing''s salute calmly. "Let''s not talk about the past." "More than this, I want to know, how much do you know about this pocket watch?" An Bing did not mince words and said directly: "Actually, this pocket watch named [Snap Time] is actually my mother''s relic." "Um?" Upon hearing this, Xia En suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Your mother''s relics? This..." This sentence really surprised Xia En. He had guessed the origin of [Instant Time] several times, but An Bing''s statement was something he had never expected. As far as Xia En knew, [The Moment of Time] was a relic used by the king of the Shuton Kingdom to prevent the royal family members from turning into coral. However, it is obvious that it did not originally belong to King Shuton, but was obtained by the Kingdom of Shuton by some kind of chance. But even so, from the [Ultra North] where [Great Yan Kingdom] is located to the Kingdom of Shuton on the mainland, it is too far a distance, right? An Bing didn''t care about Xia En''s reaction, but continued to talk to himself. "The matter actually starts with the marriage between our family and King Xin..." "Marriage?" Xia En raised his eyebrows again. But when I thought about it, it was actually normal for a king like King Xin to get married. Free love is almost impossible to exist. But what about the family An Bing lives in? "Captain Shane, you may have noticed..." "The ability I use is completely different from King Xin''s secret power of fire. It can even be said to be two completely different extremes." When talking about the past, An Bing''s expression was extremely complicated, with a touch of sadness in his tone. "This has something to do with the family I come from." "Unlike King Xin and other people who were exiled to the [Ultra North], my family is the aboriginal people of the [Ultra North]." "At that time, people on the mainland called us the [Ice Clan] and the [People of Ice and Snow]." "Our people naturally have the ability to control cold and get close to ice and snow. The [Ultra North], a land of ice and snow, is our paradise and holy land of practice." Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. This was also the first time he had heard of the title "People of Ice and Snow". But if you think about it carefully, it is normal for the aboriginal people to exist in the Far North. Just like the Inuit in high latitudes in their previous lives. And since he was an aborigine, Xia En could probably guess what happened next. "However, as time goes by, batches of outsiders come to [the Far North]." "At first, our family didn''t care about this. The refugees who were exiled here were often unable to adapt to the environment of [the Far North]. Those who were lucky enough to survive could only establish smaller villages and gathering places." "We even helped them out of sympathy." There was a hint of sarcasm in An Bing''s expression. "Originally, this situation might last for many years." "Until...a man appears." That man was burning with fire, burning himself like firewood, bringing warmth to people, and leading them to open up a new home in [the Far North]. "As time passed, people gathered around him, becoming more and more numerous and powerful." From a village to a town to a country. "And those who follow him truly respect him and call him..." "[Salary King]!" Speaking of this, An Bing''s tone became extremely complicated. Honestly, our family never thought they would grow as fast as they did. "So much so that when we first realized the threat of King Xin, the country called [Great Yan] had already become an existence that we could hardly resist." Joey on the side couldn''t help but be a little confused. "Resist? Why resist?" Isnt it a good thing to have a prosperous country in [the Far North]? An Bing replied: "For ordinary people, this is indeed a good thing." "But for our family, the emergence of [Great Yan Kingdom] has caused the temperature in the entire [Far North] to rise, and the ice and snow have begun to melt." "In the eyes of the elders in the family, this is even more of a sacrilege!" "They believe that [King Xin] and [Great Yan Kingdom] have destroyed the environment of [Far North] and polluted their homeland." "They even wanted to take action against [Great Yan Kingdom] and destroy this new country." "However, after King Xin once visited the family alone at night, the old people became more honest one after another and recognized the gap between the family and [Dayan]." Xia En''s mouth twitched when he heard this. "Visiting the family at night alone?" It was hard for him to imagine that the kind and cheerful Yan Yan in his impression would do such an arrogant and arrogant act. However, if it were the salary king in that photo, maybe thats what he would do, right? Judging from the reaction of the Anbing family, it seems that King Xin has really managed to suppress the entire family by himself? However, it is obvious that this crude approach will undoubtedly leave some hidden dangers. An Bing nodded and said. "Yeah, just like you thought." "Since then, the hostility within the family towards [Great Yan Kingdom] and King Xin has not been eliminated." "It was precisely to make King Xin relax his vigilance that this marriage came about." (End of chapter) Chapter 356 The truth from An Bings mouth! Solution Chapter 356 The truth from An Bings mouth! Solution density increases! "The marriage was created to relax King Xin''s vigilance..." Xia En silently chewed the information revealed in An Bing''s words. From a rational perspective, this is completely understandable. As the aborigines of the Far North, the [Ice and Snow People] were not as powerful as the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] at the time, but they were definitely a force that should not be underestimated. Coupled with their natural rejection and hostility towards [Great Yan Kingdom]. It is conceivable that the existence of this family itself is a big hidden danger. If Yan Yan is a cruel and cruel tyrant, then the best way to solve the problem is undoubtedly only one word - kill! Just like a certain country in Xia En''s previous life, as long as all the local indigenous people are killed, there will no longer be such hidden dangers. However, although Yan Yan before amnesia was far more decisive and resolute than he was after amnesia, he was by no means a cruel person. You can''t do things like killing whole families and destroying nine tribes at every turn. Therefore, marriage is undoubtedly the best choice after weighing the pros and cons. It can not only ease the relationship between the two parties and avoid unnecessary internal friction, but also use the power of the [Ice and Snow People] in the construction of the [Great Yan Kingdom]. And the [Ice and Snow People] dont have to worry about being exterminated by King Xin, and they can still have a territory of their own. From every angle, this is a win-win. The only "victim" in this incident is probably the woman who married King Xin, the current Princess Dayan - An Bing! This marriage can be said to be a pure exchange of interests, with no feelings at all. However, in the face of the rise and fall of a family, personal emotions may be the most insignificant factor, right? Thinking of this, Xia En looked at An Bing with a little more sympathy. It is probably for this reason that King Xin''s attitude towards An Bing seems so weird. If King Xin doesn''t pay attention to An Bing, he won''t send his capable men to wake her up. But if you really value An Bing, why doesn''t King Xin personally come to wake her up from the [Eternal Coffin]? -This gave Xia En the feeling that... King Xin didn''t want to face An Bing in person. Or is he hiding from An Bing? Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia En had new doubts. What does this marriage have to do with the origin of [The Moment of Time]? Noticing the gazes of Xia En and Joey, An Bing smiled: "Please don''t look at me with that look." "In fact, after becoming Princess Dayan, my life is not sad, and I don''t need to be pitied." "Xin...is a king and a responsible man. He has always been very good to me." "He would take me for a walk in the ice and snow, take me to see the city under construction, and see those busy and energetic people." "I saw many sights that I had never seen before, and ate all kinds of novel foods brought by those people... This was the first experience in my life for me." When talking about these past events, An Bing''s tone was unconsciously brisk. Obviously, this is also a beautiful memory worth remembering for her. "Such a peaceful and beautiful life lasted for several years, and [Great Yan Country] became more and more prosperous in the process." "Honestly, I had a real crush on him." "I also thought about how great it would be if time could stay in those years..." Then, An Bing changed the topic and said. "It''s just... suddenly one day, when Xin came back from the outside world, his face was solemn as never before." "I asked him what happened, but he just shook his head and said nothing." "And from that day on, the salary changed." "He started to become a little irritable, a little lost his temper, and became busier and busier, as if something was chasing him behind him." "At the same time, Xin began to prepare various plans, such as shelters, such as the hoarding and collection of certain supplies..." Upon hearing this, Shane and Joey''s expressions suddenly changed. Obviously, during this period, King Xin learned about the arrival of the "World-Destroying Flood" and made various preparations. Doesn''t this oppressive feeling of disaster feel like someone is chasing him behind him? An Bing nodded: "Yes, I only found out later." "He is using all possible means to fight against the disaster that is sweeping the world." "At that time, because he was getting busier and busier, I had less and less time to meet with him, and we gradually became a little unfamiliar." "Although I have some resentment in my heart, I can probably guess that he is doing something extremely important, and I don''t have too much resentment about it." "It''s just occasionally...it still feels a little lonely." Xia En looked a little strange. Judging from An Bing''s words, although her relationship with King Xin had some twists and turns, it didn''t seem to have reached the point of a real breakup or turning against each other. It''s just a small friction in the couple''s life. Even An Bing can be considered a reasonable type among women. So, what happened that caused their relationship to change, so that An Bing showed such a resentful look when he heard Wang Xin''s name after waking up? No need for Xia En to ask, An Bing quickly told the whole story. "The cause of the incident was this pocket watch called [Momentary Time]." "Captain Shane, you should already know that this pocket watch has the ability to temporarily stop time and space, right?" Shane nodded: "That''s right." Since An Bing can call out the name of [Momentary Time] and it is a relic of her mother, she must know its function. There was no need for Shane to hide this. However, from these words, Xia En also heard another message - An Bing doesn''t seem to know that [Instant Time] can achieve such a thing as traveling through time and space? "Although there are considerable side effects, and the stagnation time is extremely short." "But the ability of [Snap Time] can also be called miraculous, and it can play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the battle at critical moments." An Bing said with a hint of pride: "This relic is exactly the creation of our family." "The power of [freezing] is engraved layer by layer on the pocket watch in a special way." "This has achieved the effect of freezing time and space." "Similarly, this is also the certificate of each patriarch of our family. It is equivalent to the ''crown'' and ''scepter'', symbolizing legitimacy and authority." "After each clan leader obtains [Momentary Time], he needs to input his own understanding of the [Freezing] Law into it, so that its effect will continue to increase." "...You may not believe it when I tell you, but that''s how I introduced [Snap Time] to Xin at that time." An Bing paused and said slightly sadly. "I wish I hadn''t mentioned it to him then." Joey asked softly: "What happened at that time?" An Bing slowly told: "As time goes by, Xin''s impatience not only does not disappear, but becomes stronger." "In front of other subordinates and people, Xin can often hide his emotions very well and behave calmly." "It is precisely because of this performance that although the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] were very confused about what he wanted to do, they still obeyed his orders and followed him as usual." "Originally Some of the opposition voices that arose were drowned out by public opinion. An Bing showed a smile that was half self-deprecating and half sad. "However...as Xin''s pillow partner, I can still occasionally see Xin''s true side, so I can see his increasingly irritable mood." Xia En listened to these words in silence. He seemed to be able to empathize with the pressure King Xin was under. Knowing ahead of time such a disaster that could destroy the world would probably make anyone feel a heavy sense of oppression. Moreover, the situation of salary kings is different from that of ordinary people. Those who are incompetent, when they know the end of the world is coming, may simply give up resistance and choose to take advantage of the last moments to indulge and enjoy themselves. But King Xin chose the most difficult path Confront such a disaster head-on! Do your best to save this world! Not only did he want to save more people from the disaster and leave the spark of civilization for future generations, he even wanted to prevent the flood from happening at the source. And this is essentially a confrontation with the weird and mysterious [Huisi Ming]. Face the gods face to face with a human body! The last person to do this was Augustine, known as the "King of Pirates"! Of course, Xia En will not forget Augustine''s dejected look during the promotion ceremony. After failing to challenge [Evil Command], Augustine suffered an extremely heavy blow and almost collapsed. The pressure that King Xin is under may be greater than Augustine. After all, Augustine only faced the loss of his fleet and the disintegration of the [Pirate Principality]. But King Xin is responsible for the survival of the entire world! In order to prevent his subordinates and citizens from panicking, King Xin could not tell others such a secret, so he could only bury it in his heart and bear it alone. Over time, even with King Xin''s willpower, he might not be able to bear it. An Bing''s words proved Xia En''s guess. "One day, the pressure he accumulated seemed to reach its extreme, and he muttered to himself-" "[There is not enough time. If we continue like this, we will not be able to catch up. It would be great if there is a spell that can freeze time and space...]" "It was because of what I heard that I told him about the existence of [Flash of Time]." "After learning about this, Xin immediately asked me to take him to the family to see the effect of [Flash of Time]." "He was so eager that he even set out that night." "My mother was extremely surprised when she saw us in the middle of the night. She thought something big had happened. She breathed a sigh of relief after learning that it was [a moment of time]." An Bing''s eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said softly: "I still remember that scene clearly, because..." "That was the last time I saw my mother." "What?" Joey let out a low exclamation: "What happened?" An Bing did not answer this question directly, but continued. "Although the time [Snap Time] can be still is very limited, Xin still cares about it very much, and even made a request to ask his mother for it." "It''s just that [Moment of Time], as the certificate of the patriarch of our clan, is also of extremely important significance." "So, mother rejected Xin''s request." "And on the third day after that incident, my mother was found dead at home, and all the [moment of time] on her body was gone." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help narrowing his eyes and said seriously. "You mean, you suspect...Wang Xin killed your mother?" "This is absolutely impossible, he is definitely not such a person." However, An Bing''s words surprised Xia En: "In fact, I thought so at the beginning." "I also feel that the salary I know would never do such a thing." "It''s just...what happened later made my mind gradually change." An Bing''s pretty face showed bitterness: "Not long after my mother''s funeral ended, I saw with my own eyes..." "A [Black Flame Walker] handed [Instant Time] to Xin." "I mentioned this directly to Xian and asked for the pocket watch back, but he refused." "He said that [Flash of Time] is extremely critical to his plan and cannot be returned to our clan for the time being." "Until then, I still trust him and have agreed to return [the moment of time] to me after the matter is over." An Bing gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out words from between his teeth. "But I was wrong, and very wrong." "After that day, Xian''s behavior became increasingly mysterious and aggressive." "Sometimes he disappears for several days. Not only me, but even [Black Flame Walker] doesn''t know where he is." "At the same time, there were several disappearances in my family." "Some tribesmen who went out lost contact inexplicably and disappeared." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately realized something acutely, and his expression suddenly changed again: "Wait, you mean..." An Bing nodded: "Yes, it''s just like you thought." "Originally, this incident was supposed to be investigated by the criminal investigation department of [Great Yan Kingdom], but because it is related to the existence of [People of Ice and Snow], I was entrusted with the investigation." "While investigating the missing clan members, I found some traces of the [Black Flame Walker]." "At first, I just thought it was [Black Flame Walker]''s intervention in this matter." "But soon, I discovered..." "Those [Black Flame Walkers] are the real culprits that caused the disappearance of our clan members!" "I witnessed with my own eyes that a group of [Black Flame Walkers] captured my people and took them to an underground research center." "And the tribesmen who entered it never appeared again!" Upon hearing these words, Xia En''s [Peeping Eyes of Secrets] suddenly reacted. Hear the secret key information! [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" +10%! You have received a gift from "Secret"! (End of chapter) Chapter 357 The gift of [Secret], the curse against Chapter 357 The gift of [Secret], the curse against King Xin! The information flashed before his eyes made Xia En''s pupils shrink. "Did An Bing''s words contain key information about [Secret]?" "The research center hidden underground...the frozen town...[the people of ice and snow]..." Xia En vaguely felt that there was a thread that could connect these information together. But he was still missing some crucial clues that would prevent him from discerning the truth hidden in history. And as the [Secret] solution density increases, Xia En can clearly feel An indescribable mysterious force descended on him from somewhere. This power is somewhat similar to the wash of secret power brought by the [Secret Sea] during promotion. It is an improvement from the inside out, originating from the soul. However, compared to the gift of the [Secret Sea], it appears to be more profound and dangerous. It feels like something hazy hidden behind the fog. Just catching a glimpse of its outline can make people feel uneasy and panicked. And this is exactly in line with the so-called concept of "secret"! A realization came to Xia En''s heart. "Is this...a gift from [Secret]?" Just like [Storm Reaver] can seize secret power from the storm, [Deep Sea Devourer] can seize secret power while hunting the behemoths of the deep sea. [Secret Keeper] The characteristic of this profession is that you can obtain unique gifts from the process of deciphering secrets. At this time, with the increase in [decryption density], although this [secret] has not been truly cracked, it still brought Xia En a lot of benefits. A feeling of coolness flowed through Xia En''s mind. Make his thinking sharper and more active. -This seems to have enhanced his soul strength and mental power to a certain extent. This makes Xia En''s resistance to certain mental attacks and pollution improved, and he will also be more comfortable in controlling the secret power. Not only his spirit, but his body was also baptized by this mysterious power. [Comprehensive quality: 30 31! Although the increase is not too large, considering that this is only a gift brought by a 10% increase in [decryption density], it is quite considerable. If this momentum continues, when Xia En cracks these [secrets], his own strength will be greatly improved. The growth in strength is certainly gratifying. But at this time, Xia En''s mind was not focused on this aspect. What concerned him even more was the history mentioned by An Bing and its relationship with the [Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom]! Xia En calmed down and asked. "Are you sure...those people are the real [Black Flame Walkers] and not someone else pretending to be someone else?" An Bing nodded solemnly: "I''m sure." "Because I once asked a tribesman to deliberately stay alone and use it as bait to set up a trap, which in turn caught several of them!" "And when they were about to be captured by me, those guys chose to commit suicide without hesitation." "I used the secret power of [freezing] to forcibly save one person''s life." "On them, I found tokens that belong exclusively to the [Black Flame Walker]." "As for the only prisoner, he refused to answer my questions, even if I threatened him with torture." An Bing''s expression was gloomy and he said, "In fact, this further proves their identity as [Black Flame Walkers]." "With that terrifying willpower, unshakable loyalty, and...the complex look in his eyes when facing me, who else could it be besides [Black Flame Walker]?" "In the end, the man acquiesced to his identity, and when I asked him why he did this, he said-" "[We are on the right path.]" "[From now on, there is reserved for us a crown of righteousness.]" "After saying these words, he died in front of me." After hearing these words, Shane and Joey looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other''s eyes. If it is true as An Bing said, the identity of the person who kidnapped [People of Ice and Snow] is [Black Flame Walker]. So, the mastermind behind this incident seems to be ready to be revealed. The [Black Flame Walkers] in the past were different from now. They were a group of secret path walkers who were absolutely loyal and obedient to King Xin. They will only follow King Xin''s orders. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a group of dead soldiers. Doesnt this mean that the order to capture the [Ice and Snow People] came from King Xin? To be honest, Shane still couldn''t believe it. Because, in his impression, Yan Yan would never do such a thing. but Although Yan Yan and King Xin are essentially the same person, they have different personalities and behavioral habits due to their memories and experiences. Whether he would do such a cruel and indifferent thing, Xia En was not sure. But inexplicably, Xia En felt that there seemed to be some hidden secret that An Bing didn''t know about in this incident. Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes suddenly looked a little complicated when he looked at An Bing. He can now somewhat understand An Bing''s mood back then. On one side is the family who gave birth to her and raised her, with a blood-thicker-than-water relationship. On the other side is the person you love. No matter which side you are on, it is so important. The feeling of being caught in this is obviously not pleasant. And from An Bing''s perspective, this is even more betrayal by her lover! The purpose of the marriage is obviously to ease the relationship between [Great Yan] and [People of Ice and Snow]. But King Xin was secretly attacking the people of the [People of Ice and Snow]. If there is no anger and resentment in An Bing''s heart, it is obviously impossible. Not to mention, there is also the death of An Bing''s mother... Xia En sighed softly in his heart and asked: "What happened after that?" An Bing took two deep breaths before getting rid of the sadness and anger and said. "After that, I went straight to the salary and confronted him face to face." "This is the only thing I can do." "After all, the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] belongs to him. If he is really determined to attack the [People of Ice and Snow], we have no ability to resist." "And the scene at that time, I will never forget." "After listening to my questioning, Xin''s reaction was much calmer than I imagined." "He sighed and said, [Sure enough, did you still find out?]" "[But even so, I have a reason to continue. It doesn''t matter how much you resent me.]" "After saying that, he turned around and left the palace, never looking back at me again." An Bing''s eyes turned slightly red and he said, "I never thought that his reaction would be so cold." "Even if he makes any excuse, even if he is trying to trick me? I might still believe him..." "But Xin didn''t even want to give me an explanation." "It was then that I gave up completely. All his past performances turned out to be his hypocrisy." An Bing whispered sadly to himself: "It turns out that I was the only one who was being sentimental all along." Both Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. Just listening to An Bing''s words, King Xin''s behavior is indeed chilling. Even if there is a factor of impending disaster behind this, it still seems a bit too cold and inhumane. "Since then, I have been under house arrest in the palace and not allowed to go out even half a step." "That palace was really cold...even colder than the [Eternal Coffin] later." "In the end, I made just one request of him." "That means returning my mother''s relic, this [Snap of Time], to me." A bitter smile appeared on An Bing''s face: "But, even for such a simple request, he still wants to make fun of me." "Originally, in the letter, he had already agreed to the request." "But within a few days, he said that [the moment of time] was taken away by an unknown legendary strongman." "But he is the salary king. Who can **** [the moment of time] from his hands?" "At that point, you still want to deceive my feelings...it''s really, really bad!" "It is precisely for this reason that I have such a big obsession with [Instant Time]." Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows and said after thinking. "Ms. An Bing, regarding this matter, perhaps... King Xin did not lie to you." An Bing was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" Xia En replied: "Actually, I found this [Snap of Time] in the ruins of a royal capital called [Shoton Kingdom]." "And this kingdom is not in the [Ultra North], but in the southern continent which is quite far away!" "I think... it might have been snatched away by someone, and then it appeared in the [Shorten Kingdom] after being displaced." An Bing''s expression changed slightly, and after a moment, she sighed. "Maybe that''s the case..." "But now, this kind of thing is meaningless." "Even without [Instant Time], it is an undoubted fact that Xin deceived me several times and attacked my people." An Bing looked at Xia En seriously: "Captain Xia En, can you return [The Moment of Time] to me?" "This can be regarded as my last memory of my mother, the [people of ice and snow], and that past time." At this time, Xia En really understood the reason for An Bing''s unusual attitude towards [Instant Time]. However, even so, this pocket watch has irreplaceable meaning to him. Giving it to An Bing is obviously impossible. "Really...I understand." Looking at Xia En''s expression, An Bing also understood his resolute attitude, so he no longer insisted on asking for [Instant Time], but said. "No matter what, [Snap Time] is now yours. It was me who made things difficult for Captain Shane." "I can stop asking for it, but at least...please let me take another look at it." Seeing An Bing''s reasonable reaction, Xia En also breathed a sigh of relief. If she continues to insist, the relationship between the two parties will undoubtedly be completely broken. But Xia En can still satisfy the request of "taking a look". Soon, An Bing took over [The Moment of Time] from Xia En. But after just looking at it for a few times, An Bing''s expression suddenly changed and he murmured in shock. "This secret power...this curse..." "But how is this possible?" Hearing this, Xia En frowned: "Ms. An Bing, what''s wrong?" "What curse?" Xia En originally thought that An Bing was surprised because of the special secret power of time and space in [Instant Time], but listening to her words, it seemed that this was not the case? An Bing said firmly: "You can''t be wrong, this pocket watch carries the curse of our [people of ice and snow]!" "curse?" Xia En was very surprised: "But why didn''t I notice it when I was using it?" An Bing''s eyes were filled with confusion and confusion, but he still answered subconsciously. "Because...this kind of curse is set against the bloodline." "Only people of a specific bloodline will be inspired by contact with them." At this time, Xia En also vaguely noticed something and asked. "Then, the bloodline it targets is..." An Bing said very difficultly: "It''s salary." Upon hearing this answer, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. "A curse against King Xin?" [The Moment of Time] is an important relic of the [People of Ice and Snow], and is even the certificate of being the leader of the clan. Why is there a curse directed at King Xin on such a thing? But if you think about it for a moment, the answer is actually self-evident. This marriage only eased the conflicts, but did not completely eliminate the conflicts between the [People of Ice and Snow] and the [Great Yan Kingdom]. Just as King Xin would be suspicious of the [People of Ice and Snow], [People of Ice and Snow] obviously did not really regard King Xin as one of their own. In fact, they may even be planning an assassination against King Xin! It is different from the [people of ice and snow] who naturally adapt to the environment of [the far north]. The reason why [Great Yan Kingdom] was able to establish a country here was that King Xin accounted for at least 80% of the credit. Apart from King Xin, there is no other secret person or successor who can take power in the Great Yan Kingdom. That is to say. As long as King Xin dies, [Great Yan Kingdom] will fall into turmoil and quickly fall apart. The people of [Great Yan Kingdom] will also return to their previous state of being refugees. For some [people of ice and snow], this means that [the Far North] has been purified. And this curse on [Flash of Time] is undoubtedly the most direct evidence. At this time, Xia En also suddenly understood what the secret that he had vaguely discovered before was. From An Bing''s perspective, it was King Xin who betrayed his trust and took the initiative to attack the [People of Ice and Snow]. But what if Is the order of things reversed? It was the [People of Ice and Snow] who intended to attack King Xin. After the failure, King Xin could not tolerate the offense committed by the [People of Ice and Snow] and took revenge. The attitude towards the enemy must be as cold as ice. It seems understandable that the [People of Ice and Snow] should be captured for some kind of research. Obviously, not only Xia En, but An Bing was also aware of this possibility. She is a very smart woman, but her emotions cover her eyes, making her unwilling to think about the truth of those things. "Could it be that..." An Bing''s expression changed back and forth, as if he was undergoing some kind of intense psychological struggle. "But if that''s the case, why didn''t he tell me personally?" "The truth...what is it?" At this moment, an officer''s voice came from outside the barracks. "Captain Shane, General Moritz has orders" "Those who have obtained the ''Quota'' for the secret journey must gather at the military headquarters now!" (End of chapter) Chapter 358 【Glow Container】【The Chosen One】 Chapter 358 [Glow Container] [The Chosen One] The words of the barracks officer brought the three people back to the present from the past history. An Bing''s expression returned to normal after changing several times. No matter what the truth of the past is, the top priority now is to participate in this operation and completely eliminate the undead [Great Yan]! Seeing the change in An Bing''s expression, Xia En sighed in his heart and secretly said it was a pity. He could see that An Bing might not have guessed the truth of the matter, but because of his preconceived notions, he always identified King Xin as the perpetrator. This would have been a good opportunity to change An Bing''s mind. But it was interrupted due to an accident. Based on An Bing''s prejudice against King Xin, he will probably come up with other excuses to explain this phenomenon after this. It will undoubtedly become extremely difficult to make another effort to change An Bing''s concept. However, Xia En''s judgment was actually just one of the reasonable speculations based on his understanding of Yan Yan. Perhaps only King Xin himself knows what the truth of history is. And, on the other hand. After all, Xia En is just an outsider in the emotional entanglement between them, and it is obviously not a wise move to get involved too deeply. Just as An Bing said, no matter what the misunderstanding is, what is the truth? Why can''t King Xin explain it directly to her? Perhaps, this is the real reason why An Bing is disappointed with King Xin. Thinking of this, Shane glanced at Joey beside him. No matter what, he would not let Joey feel the pain that An Bing had experienced. "Mr. Captain?" Looking at Xia En''s eyes, Joey seemed to have noticed something. He couldn''t help but blush slightly and lowered his head. "Captain Shane." At this moment, An Bing''s voice came from the side, and it was even colder than before. "I don''t need this anymore." An Bing returned [The Moment of Time] to Xia En, and then said coldly. "let''s go." Xia En was secretly speechless, but he could also understand An Bing''s sudden cold attitude. In front of An Bing, a woman who had been hurt by love, he and Joey were flirting with each other, which seemed a bit immoral? An Bing was somewhat stimulated by this, which is completely understandable. Suppressing the slightly strange emotions in his heart, Xia En and An Bing quickly walked towards the military headquarters they visited last time. Since Moritz required that only those who had obtained a "quota" could participate, Shane and Joey had to part ways temporarily. It didn''t take long. They were led to a makeshift meeting hall. At this time, five or six people had gathered in the meeting hall. Carles also sat at the side of the long table in the meeting hall. Seeing Xia En and An Bing approaching, Carles immediately stood up and greeted: "Captain Xia En, this way." When Xia En and the two approached, Carles''s eyes fell on An Bing beside him, and the red light in his eyes under the face armor lit up slightly. Carles seemed to be observing Dark Ice, and at the same time showed a little surprise, and the sound-producing device sounded. "This is Her Royal Highness the Princess of [Dayan]?" An Bing nodded reservedly yet gracefully, and said softly: "It''s me." "Ms. Carles, I also heard Irina say your name." "This is our first meeting, please take care of me." It was different from his previous behavior in the barracks where he had lost his composure several times and had fluctuating emotions. At this time, An Bing behaved very elegantly and calmly, as if he would not be moved even if a mountain collapsed in front of him. Her movements fully illustrate the etiquette and manners a princess should have. Combined with her stunning appearance, she naturally gives people a sense of nobility. Although this vaguely gives people a "holding" feeling. But Xia En could understand An Bing''s reason for doing this. The [Great Yan Kingdom] in reality has long since perished, but the [Great Yan Kingdom] in An Bing''s heart has not. The identity of [Princess Dayan] is naturally determined. An Bing not only represents her own image, but also represents the ancient country that has perished. Because of this, An Bing must show an elegant and perfect posture as much as possible. It is obvious that although An Bing was deeply hurt by King Xin, he still has deep feelings for the country [Dayan]. Carles was indeed frightened by An Bing''s gesture and exclaimed. "As expected of the princess of [Great Yan Kingdom], she gives people a different feeling." "Besides, this is the first time I''ve seen someone who didn''t show a surprised expression when they met me for the first time." An Bing replied calmly: "Actually, I have seen steam mechanical life forms like you, madam, in [Great Yan Country]." "This can be treated calmly." "However, you are the most special and powerful type of life form I have seen." Carles sighed: "Is that so?" "The [Great Yan Kingdom] in the past was really amazing!" "In this operation, Your Highness the Princess, you may be able to play a vital role!" After complimenting each other for a few words, the relationship between the two parties was obviously much harmonious. Soon, Shane asked Carles: "What did General Moritz want to do when he called us here?" Carles replied: "Probably to let us action members get to know each other." "Also, explain some internal information about [Great Yan]." At this time, the conversation between Xia En and the three people also attracted the attention of other people in the meeting hall. They all looked at Xia En and An Bing with curious eyes. Compared to Xia En, more eyes fell on An Bing. An Bing did not deliberately hide his identity. Coupled with the appearance of [Black Flame Walkers] like Irina, smart people gradually learned the news of "[Princess Great Yan]''s awakening". This inevitably makes people feel extremely curious. Please, thats the legendary salary kings wife! Normal people would want to take a second look, right? Not to mention, in the previous duel with "War Mad" Benny, An Bing also showed mysterious abilities and powerful combat power. This also leads to- In less than half a day, An Bing''s reputation was already greater than that of Xia En. Just then. A young man at the long table suddenly stood up and walked towards Xia En and the other two. This young man does not look very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. His facial features are very exquisite, and his skin is like milky white satin, which is both white and delicate, enough to make countless women envious. A pair of eyes were a strange white-gold color, which was the same as his hair color, and seemed to exude a unique brilliance. It makes people feel close to it unconsciously. This outstanding and peculiar appearance led Xia En to notice that he was wearing a unique priest''s uniform after the boy approached. This priest''s uniform has a white base with many gold and silver patterns. The moment he saw the priest uniform, Xia En immediately recognized this person''s identity. This is a pastor from the Hui religion! Shane had seen a very similar priest''s uniform on Archbishop Musa. However, there are still certain differences in the color and quantity of the patterns between the two. Come to think of it, that was probably a way to distinguish different levels of priests. However, looking at this strange boy, Xia En inexplicably thought of Fei Ya who was in seclusion in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. "This guy is the same type of boy as Feiya!" "If she puts on women''s clothes, she will probably be more beautiful than ordinary girls." "Speaking of which, both of them are priests...could it be said that a little boy is more suitable to be a priest?" Just when some slightly rude associations came to Xia En''s mind, the young pastor spoke. "[Black Light]...Oh no, Captain Shane, hello." The boy''s voice was clear and sweet, and it gave Xia En a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before. The name [Black Light] shocked Xia En. "Did I lose my vest again?" "When!?" But soon, Xia En suddenly reacted: "Wait, are you..." Hearing this, the young man replied with a bright smile on his face. "Yes, Captain Shane, I''m Xiaobai!" After hearing this, Xia En finally confirmed the identity of the young priest. This is the Xiaobai who often chats with him in [The Land of Glory]! In fact, Xiaobai''s image is very consistent with Xia En''s imagination of him. The young man continued: "My real name is La Tiwen." "Oh, by the way, Archbishop Musa told me your identity, Captain Shane." "Please don''t be offended." Xia En waved his hand: "No, no." "I originally wanted to find you when I went to [Liu Li Island], but I didn''t expect that you were in the first few groups that came to [Ultra North], so I missed it." To be honest, Xia En was quite happy to see Xiaobai here. Unlike Musa, Xiaobai is the "net friend" he made in [The Land of Glory]. Now that we can meet each other, it can be regarded as "offline and face-to-face". But it didn''t take long for Shane to realize something else. Latiwen will appear in this meeting hall, which means... Is he also one of the chosen ones who received a "quota"? Xia En secretly sensed La Tiwen''s aura and couldn''t help but be a little surprised. Previously, Xia En''s attention was attracted by the boy''s unique appearance, and he temporarily ignored the strength of his aura. At this time, after careful observation, Xia En suddenly noticed something extraordinary about him. Latiwen gives people a very gentle feeling, like the sunshine that shines on her body every moment. But this does not mean that sunshine is gentle and weak. Under that gentle appearance, there is a very powerful and terrifying power hidden. Latiwen is obviously also a sixth-level secret pather! Thinking of this, Xia En''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch. When he was still a fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder, Latiwen called himself "Lord Black Light". Now that I think about it, isn''t it a bit inappropriate? Noticing Xia En''s gaze, Latiwen asked curiously. "Captain Shane, what''s wrong?" Xia En hesitated and asked, "I would like to ask, how old are you this year?" Latiwen thought for a while and said, "She should be more than fifteen years old, right?" Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. A fifteen-year-old sixth-level mystic? What level is this? Xia En can reach the threshold of the sixth level at this age, which is already considered a rare existence. And Latiwen is much younger than him! Could it be said that this is the real peerless genius in the Seven Seas? What does this make those secret path practitioners who have never been able to reach the sixth level think? Fortunately, at this time, Latiwen also saw why Xia En was surprised and quickly explained. "Captain Shane, it''s not what you think." "Although I am at the sixth level now, in essence, this power does not belong to me." Xia En wondered: "What does this mean?" Latiwen hesitated for a moment. This is a secret within the Hui sect and should not have been disclosed to others. But then he thought about it, Mr. [Black Light] is not an outsider, so he has nothing to hide. "Captain Shane, you should still remember that in the [Land of Glory], the light of my soul is pure white." Xia En nodded and said, "Of course I remember." "Moreover, that kind of white light is different from the light of other people''s souls..." Latiwen sighed: "As expected of Mr. Xia En." "You can really see the subtle differences." "Actually, I have never practiced the secret power. All I do every day is to feel the radiance from the Lord." "Bishop Musa told me that my body has extremely unique adaptability and can withstand the light from the outside world." "This characteristic is called... [Glow Container]." "As I grow, my soul can hold more and more glorious power." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Glow Container? The word "container" reminded Shane of Joey and the plan of the "Truth Society". The "Truth Society" seems to be using Joey as the "vessel" to steal the power of the "Storm Goddess". But now it seems that similar existences also exist in [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect]. Or, it is precisely because of the existence of such people that the [Truth Society] wants to artificially create a [container] to contain the power of the gods? Latiwen did not notice the change in Xia En''s eyes, but continued. "The reason why I am at the sixth level now is because the bishop used divine magic to attract the Lord''s radiance and store it in my body." "When these glows are consumed, my power will continue to decline." "But at critical moments, I can even burst out with legendary power, although... the number of times I can use it is extremely limited." After hearing these words, Xia En understood Latiwen''s state. He himself does not possess extraordinary secret power, nor can he even be called a mystic, but he can exert extraordinary combat power with the help of the secret power infused into his body. The name [Glow Container] is indeed the most appropriate one. And the reason why he was selected was probably because of this characteristic. Being able to master legendary power at the sixth level, even with just one blow, it may be possible to turn the tide of the battle. In fact, not only Latiwen, but also most of the people who can be selected to participate in this operation have such abilities. Just as the two were chatting happily, the door to the conference hall opened again. A priest wearing a blue-black priest''s uniform walked in. Seeing this person, Xia En''s expression became a little strange again. Because this is actually an "acquaintance!" (End of chapter) Chapter 359 The final candidate is finalized, inform Chapter 359 The final candidate is finalized, information about [Great Yan]! The robe with blue lines on the black background and silver edges is painted with wave-shaped patterns. This is the unique priest costume of [Deep Sea Church]. As for this priest''s face, Xia En had known him once before. During a certain [Deep Sea Diving], Xia En once encountered a submersible that dived into the depths of the sea. At that time, he just happened to use the talent of [Deep Sea Devourer] to devour the first generation of [Sir of the Netherworld]. This scene was witnessed by people in the submersible, which caused some misunderstanding. And in the submersible, there happens to be a disciple of the Deep who is disguised as a believer of the Storm Goddess! This is the priest who walked into the meeting hall. As soon as this person walked in, he naturally saw Xia En and others sitting at a long table next to each other. When his eyes fell on Latiwen, he couldn''t help but feel a flash of disgust in his eyes. But after noticing Xia En, the priest''s expression immediately changed several times. There was both secret excitement and the excitement of finally meeting some kind of legendary figure, and there was also the restraint of forcing myself to calm down. Seeing his look, Xia En also woke up instantly. This person probably also got some information from Mr. Heller, and regarded himself as the so-called [Son of Netherworld]. Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little weird. It''s as if his identity has been exposed, and anyone who comes can recognize him. Moreover, there is always the risk of other vests being exposed. But Xia En also knew why he had such a misunderstanding. It was purely because the level of the secret pathers he came into contact with now was getting higher and higher. It also happened to be at the time when the Northern Hebei Expeditionary Force was setting off. High-level secret travelers who were rarely seen here were no more rare than Chinese cabbage. Not only do they have keen senses, they also basically have their own information channels and know many secrets in the Seven Seas. This is what happens. At this time, the priest had already walked up to Xia En with a kind and gentle tone. "Captain Shane, hello." "I am William, the pastor of the Deep Sea Church. Nice to meet you." This scene surprised the nearby secret travelers. Needless to say, William''s strength can be the chosen person to get a quota in this conference room, and he is also quite famous among the sixth-level Mysterians. Everyone who has been in contact with him knows that in the [Deep Sea Church], William has always been known for being strict, and he is even known to have a bad temper. Why do you look so gentle and approachable when facing Xia En now? "William, what''s going on? Have you changed your gender?" "It shouldn''t be. I heard some time ago that when he was executing the [Deep Diving Plan], he also killed a scholar suspected of being from the [Truth Society] on the spot." "Hiss...that''s really..." The secret travelers nearby couldn''t help but whisper. "However, it seems that Captain Shane''s connections are really extraordinary." Seeing Xia En surrounded by stars like a moon, many people felt similar emotions in their hearts. Not only the official Carles of the Federation, Princess Dayan from the Great Yan Kingdom, but also La Tiwen of the Hui Sect and William of the Deep Sea Church all have very close ties with him. There is still a vague attitude of following his lead. Xia En seems to have become the backbone and link among this group of people! This seems very unusual. Networking is also part of ability. The fact that Xia En can make friends with so many people of distinguished status and background shows that he is special. Among the people in the meeting hall, many were long-established secret practitioners, and there were even some who were two or three years older than Xia En. Although these people have heard of Xia En''s name, those deeds are not necessarily that impressive to them. In their view, Xia En is just a rising star who has just promoted to the sixth level. It is inevitable to have a little contempt. But after seeing the scene in front of them with their own eyes, people''s ideas changed. "Probably, this is why he was selected by [Salary King] and General Moritz." On the other side, Xia En noticed another thing. It is not difficult to see that the action candidates selected by Moritz are basically the best among the legendary forces from all parties. But now, people from the [Hui Sect], [Deep Sea Church], [Great Yan Kingdom] and other forces have arrived. So, how could this be without the mysterious and strange [Truth Society]? Moreover, there are many scholars in the [Truth Society] who are good at intelligence and data analysis, which will obviously be of great help to the exploration of unknown existences like [Great Flame]. Shane didn''t think General Moritz would forget this. Thinking of this, he simply asked Carles and others his doubts. Carles said: "I heard that a scholar from the [Truth Society] was indeed arranged as an analyst in this operation." "Counting the time, he should be arriving soon, right?" Latiwen nodded in agreement. "I''ve heard this statement too, but the [Truth Society]..." At the mention of this name, a hint of gloom appeared on the young man''s fair and beautiful face. During the previous war with the [Truth Society], Huijiao suffered a lot of casualties. Some of Latiwen''s relatives and friends died in that battle. However, due to the current situation, he had to cooperate with members of the [Truth Society], and it was inevitable that he would feel a little depressed. William also snorted coldly. "When this incident is resolved, we will definitely uproot the entire [Truth Society] and permanently remove this cancer!" Xia En nodded: "There will be a day." He and the [Truth Society] have already had a life-and-death relationship, and of course he is very supportive of William''s ideas. Everyone just chatted and waited. Other secret travelers also came to the meeting hall one after another. Only ten minutes had passed, and there were still two empty seats on both sides of the long table. At this time, William was already a little impatient with waiting, so he simply asked the officer stationed nearby. "What''s going on? Why haven''t they two come yet?" The officer was also a little confused, but he still said politely. "We have sent people to notify them, please wait a moment." Another five or six minutes passed. The two secret travelers still did not arrive. Instead, General Moritz opened the door and walked in first. Compared with the last time they met, Moritz looked a little older and tired. His breath was a little weak, and there seemed to be more white hair on his head. Obviously, with our own side''s extraordinary legendary mystics being restrained, we have to deal with the increasing number of filthy and chaotic creatures that are constantly awakening and protect the safety of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] camp. For Moritz, there is also a lot of pressure. But at the same time. Shane could feel that the chilling and iron-blooded temperament of Moritz became more and more prominent. This old general is by no means a showman in vain. In the face of pressure, he will only rise to the challenge and lead the army to victory with a more tenacious attitude. At this time, Moritz said in a serious tone: "The two of them will not come." "I have received news that these two guys suddenly disappeared in the camp. I''m afraid... they were deserters." "What?" "Desert!?" Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard this. After thinking briefly, Xia En quickly understood the meaning of these words. Unlike people like him who volunteered to participate in this operation, there were always people chosen by Moritz. And normal people can see that this mission is extremely dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a narrow escape. Even Xia En and others are not completely sure. Not everyone has the same courage and determination to face danger as Xia En. It is not incomprehensible that someone would escape at this time. However, what surprised Xia En was... The [Truth Society] analyst was actually among the two people who escaped! This matter undoubtedly seems quite strange. After all, based on Xia En''s understanding of the [Truth Society], those guys are simply a group of lunatics pursuing the truth. In order to explore the truth, you can risk your life. Would such a person really choose to run away because he was greedy for life and afraid of death? Not to mention, as far as Xia En knows, there is a huge bet between the [Truth Society] and the [Hui Sect] and [The Nether Sect]! Giving up the action of infiltrating [Great Flame] at this time does not seem like a wise move. suddenly. Shane thought of a possibility. Maybe...the members of [Truth Society] want to use this time to do other things? This speculation seems absurd at first glance, but in fact it is not impossible. During the time that Xia En came to the Far North, the [Truth Society] had always been extremely low-key. Don''t talk about some kind of large-scale operation. , even when participating in the extermination of the "Filthy Creatures", the "Truth Society" is rarely seen. On the contrary, among the [Black Flame Walkers], there was vague news of an intersection with the [Truth Society]. Maybe they are carrying out some kind of evil plan. With the lessons learned from his previous contact with the [Truth Society], the more Xia En thought about it, the more he felt that this guess might be true! But, on the other hand. The crisis in Great Yan Country is also imminently facing us. Xia En didn''t have time to stop the [Truth Society]''s secret actions. Just as his thoughts were rising and falling. Moritz continued. "Because the two of them escaped before the battle, the quota for the operation was vacant, so I took the initiative and brought a candidate." After that, Benny, wearing a tactical vest and short hair, followed Moritz in. Seeing Xia En, An Bing and others, Benny couldn''t help but look a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Captain Shane, we meet again." Xia En was also in a strange mood. Previously, they challenged each other for spots and proved their strength. On the other hand, some people gave up their spots directly because they were afraid of death. It has to be a bit ironic. However, with Benny''s strength, he is fully qualified to participate in this action. However, by doing this, Moritz also showed his firm decision. He dared to send his grandson to this operation, what else could anyone else say? Moritz continued: "There is one last spot left." "It is undoubtedly too late to make a selection now." "If you have any recommended candidates, you can tell them directly. If they are suitable, they will be finalized directly." "It is best to be able to analyze and transmit intelligence while also having strong strength." Everyone looked at each other. Of course they can come up with a lot of names for both sixth-level secret readers. But there are very few people who meet these two requirements and are willing to take part in the action. At this time, Xia En naturally thought of a name. He said directly: "General Moritz, what do you think of Ms. Jane?" "simple" Upon hearing the name, Moritz fell silent for a moment. "I originally didn''t want to bother him anymore, but now she is indeed the most suitable candidate." "It would be great if Ms. Jane can agree." Xia En didn''t confirm it either, he just said. "Then, I will ask her opinion now." "Please wait." A moment later, Xia En, who left the military camp, came to Jane and briefly explained the cause of the matter and his purpose. After listening, Jane smiled slightly: "Captain Shane, do you think I will refuse?" "Why do you think I came to this [Far North]?" "let''s go." Shane was not surprised by Jane''s straightforward answer. Jane is such a powerful and cheerful woman. After a while, the two returned to the meeting hall. Seeing Jane, many people had a strange look in their eyes. Many of them have been to the [Federal Library], and have heard some stories about this administrator lady. At this time, everyone was a little surprised to see Jane willing to walk with them. As the saying goes, people who live longer tend to be more afraid of death. But they did not see this characteristic in Jane. But now is not the time to reminisce about the past. After everyone was seated, Moritz also began to tell important information about [Great Flame]. "Before this, we have sent people to explore inside [Great Flame]." "With nearly all of them sacrificed, we obtained extremely valuable information." Moritz''s tone was solemn: "I hope you won''t let this information go to waste." Everyone nodded slightly, with solemn expressions. Moritz continued. "At this moment, the space inside [Great Flame] is in a very chaotic state." "On the surface, it is attached to the King, but when you step inside, what you see may be scenes from the Great Yan Kingdom in the past." "That''s probably the scene left by the undead spirit [Great Yan]''s overly strong obsession." Having said this, Moritz looked at An Bing among the crowd. "Ms. Anbing, this may cause trouble for you." "In that environment, intelligence about the Great Yan Kingdom may play a key role." Hearing this, An Bing clenched his fists involuntarily, looking a little sad. But she still nodded heavily and said: "I will fully cooperate with you." Moritz nodded and continued to explain. "Not only the space, but the time in [Da Yan]''s body is also out of order..." (End of chapter) Chapter 360 【Farewell Kiss】 Chapter 360 [Farewell Kiss] Under Moritz''s narration, everyone had a general understanding of the internal situation of [Great Yan] at this time. Because it itself is an existence composed of the remaining souls of all the citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom] after their death. It can be said that it carries the obsessions and memories of countless people. These memories both overlap and are completely different. Obviously, the time points and scenes that impress everyone most are different. When they are mixed together, they will naturally present an extremely bizarre scene. It is very possible that what I saw a second ago was the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] in its heyday. The next second, he walked into a ruins full of scorched earth. This is also what Moritz meant when he said that time and space are extremely chaotic. If that''s all, it''s pretty good. [Great Flame] will acquiesce to the entry of mystics below the legendary level into his body. However, outsiders are still outsiders after all. [Great Yan]''s subconscious will be involuntarily hostile to them, and may even create some kind of weird monster to destroy outsiders. The possibility of Shane and others falling into those dangerous memory scenes will be greatly increased. That is to say. Xia En and others not only have to face the disasters in the past, but also face the malicious intent from [Great Flame]! The situation is not difficult. But in the current situation, we can only persevere with difficulty. And soon, Jane asked a key question. "General Moritz, then, how are we going to eliminate [Great Flame]?" This sentence also asked the thoughts of the rest of the people. After all, from a hard power point of view. The realm of [Great Flame] is definitely above the legendary level, and may even reach the legendary ninth level. In a head-on confrontation, not to mention everyone present, even those legendary strong men are no match. Otherwise, there would be no infiltration operations. And if you don''t know the weakness of [Great Flame] and enter his body rashly. Then this operation is just a way to die. Moritz had anticipated this. He said seriously: "That''s a good question." "In fact, we also obtained an extremely valuable piece of information." "There are five key nodes inside [Great Flame]." "As long as all five nodes are destroyed, [Great Flame] will collapse, or... at least be separated from the body of [King]." "Once an undead loses its possession and entity, the threat it poses will be greatly reduced." Having said this, Moritz looked at Carles among the crowd. "Actually, this information was left in the [King] by Colonel Gold, and coupled with the sacrifice of the advance team members, it was passed to us." "Father" Upon hearing this, Carles made a slightly deep voice under his armor. "He''s someone who would do something like this." There was a touch of pride in Carles'' tone, and he was obviously proud of his father. Then, another piece of news dropped by Moritz shocked Carles. "I suspect...Colonel Gold may not be dead yet!" He added: "During the operation, the advance team discovered many secret codes used within the federal military, and the time when those marks were left was very recent." "I think that is most likely the handwriting left by Colonel Gold." "I make a bold guess that Colonel Gold may have taken the crew of the [King] and hid in a certain memory of Dayan, and they are still holding on to this day." "So, rescuing Colonel Gold and the soldiers trapped inside is also one of your missions during this trip." "Moreover, if you can find Colonel Gold, it will also be of great help to you in finding and destroying key nodes." Moritz said seriously. "Carles, whether we can find him or not, maybe... it depends on you." Afterwards, Moritz handed a relic shaped like a compass to Carles. "This relic can search for those who have a close relationship with the owner, and you are the most suitable candidate." It is not difficult to see that there are reasons behind every candidate chosen by Moritz. He didn''t choose randomly. All this is to increase the success rate of this exercise as much as possible! Carles nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations." Later, Moritz asked the sergeants around him to distribute sets of special equipment. This is a special combat uniform, entirely silver-gray and with a unique texture. As soon as you pick it up, it gives people a very silky and light feeling, and there is also a faint mysterious power lingering on it. The material is quite extraordinary. And he didn''t know if it was Xia En''s illusion, but he unexpectedly felt that this combat uniform was slightly similar to the previous [Black Flame Robe]. Soon, Moritz opened his mouth to explain. "This is special equipment that we temporarily modified based on the [Black Flame Robe] of [Great Yan Kingdom]." "Not only does it have the effect of condensing the aura, but its defensive power and other characteristics are also extremely excellent. It can even block a full blow from a legendary strongman." "Although compared to [Great Flame], it is still better than nothing, but now I can only make do with it." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be secretly frightened. The fact that he can block the attack of the legendary strong man is already remarkable in itself. In the dangerous [Great Flame], it is equivalent to an extra life. It can be seen that the technical level of the federal military has reached a very high level. However, this type of equipment is definitely still far away from mass production, so it will be used on their group of members who are involved in infiltration operations. Among other things, in the equipment distributed. Shane also saw a communicator and a small wooden box that looked familiar. The surface of this wooden box is decorated with dark red lines, exuding a touch of warmth. It is five or even six points similar to the wooden box that Moritz handed over to Shane. William looked at the wooden box and couldn''t help but ask. "This is?" Moritz explained: "This is King Xin''s [fire], and it is also King Xin''s gift to you." "Carrying this [Fire] with you will allow you to still function normally and move freely in extremely cold environments, and it will also reduce the malicious intent from [Great Flame] to a certain extent." "The most important thing is that with this [Fire], you can determine the location of the key node of [Great Flame] and completely destroy the node with the help of [Fire]." "However, before that, you''d better not open the wooden box at will, otherwise it will consume the secret power of [Fire]." "For King Xin, creating such [fire] seems to be quite a burden." Xia En felt it carefully for a moment and found that there were some differences between this and the [Old Daily Fire] he received last time. [Old Fire] is a flame originating from the origin of the fiery soul. The [Fire] at this time is only the product of his highly concentrated secret power. After receiving the wooden box. An Bing''s expression couldn''t help but become a little complicated. After an immeasurable long time, she finally touched the flame and temperature of self-reliance again. But now, things have changed. An Bing quickly calmed down his complicated emotions. Right now, she has more important things to do. After everyone accepted the equipment, Moritz said. "After entering the [Great Flame], you are likely to be scattered due to the distortion of space." "So, the first thing to do is to meet up with other companions - this communicator is prepared for this." "It''s just that... the environment inside [Great Flame] is complex and changeable, and it is very likely that the communicator will not be able to be used. "At that time, you will have to rely on your own efforts." "That''s all I have to say, do you have anything else to ask?" After hearing these words, everyone fell silent. Moritz had already given the information in quite detail, and the remaining questions were all trivial. It didn''t seem to mean much whether or not to ask them. Moreover, just because they knew the detailed information inside [Great Yan], people''s mood became more depressed and heavy. Facing such an existence that is not a conventional creature at all, just imagining being an enemy requires enough courage. It is obvious that after entering the [Great Flame], they will lose all support from the federation. Likewise, the escape route was completely lost. All people can rely on are themselves and a few companions. In fact, they even fell into a situation of separation from each other at the beginning. To fight alone in that situation, there is quite a sense of despair in fighting the whole world on your own. Thinking of this, even if everyone present is a strong man who has experienced hundreds of battles, they can''t help but have some pessimistic thoughts. "call" "It is indeed a dangerous situation with a narrow escape from death." William took a long breath, as if he was comforting others, and also seemed to be comforting himself. "However, this is the only way to go now!" "For us, for the people we care about behind us, and for the world!" Perhaps influenced by his words, the faces of others present also had a look of determination. In fact, everyone has already realized this, otherwise they would not be in this meeting room. In this somewhat pessimistic atmosphere, a voice suddenly sounded. "Old man, if we can come back alive, what reward can we get?" Everyone turned around and looked in surprise. The one who spoke was Benny who looked excited. Looking at him, Moritz''s stern eyes flashed with tenderness and he chuckled. "At least a colonel rank, other money, islands, or precious relics you want, as long as the federation can come up with it, can be used as rewards." Benny said carelessly: "I''m just a colonel. Isn''t this too worthless?" "No matter what happens, there must be a major general Dangdang!" Moritz replied: "It''s not impossible, but the premise is that you need to become the legendary secret path." "This is also a mandatory requirement of the federal major general." Benny curled his lips: "How stingy." Although to be honest, no one among the people present particularly cared about the so-called military rank. But Benny''s words slightly improved the originally heavy and stagnant atmosphere. At least People began to think about what would happen after returning triumphantly, instead of thinking that they would definitely die in this operation. Such a change in mentality is undoubtedly a good thing. Latiwen also chuckled and asked: "General, can I build a glorious cathedral on [Liu Li Island]?" Moritz nodded: "Of course." "Don''t say one, three are fine." William on the other side was also moved, as if he wanted to say something. Seeing this scene, Xia En also looked at Benny not far away with some surprise. He originally thought that this guy was just a reckless man with a bad temper. But now it seems that he still has his own advantages. At least this optimistic and positive personality affected other people present. After a few more brief conversations, Moritz said. "The action time is two o''clock in the afternoon. You still have the last half day to rest and spend more time with the people you value." "I have other matters to deal with, so I''ll take my leave now." After that, Moritz turned around and left first. Xia En knew this well. In fact, this is to give them a chance to explain their aftermath. Immediately, other secret travelers left the meeting hall one after another. Benny came to Xia En and others at this moment. Carles looked at him warily. "Benny, what do you want to do? Find trouble?" "How could this be?" Benny shook his head and looked at Shane among the people. "Captain Shane, I take back what I said before." "I have seen your strength, and you are indeed qualified to participate in this operation." "And about your deeds, I have roughly learned about it from others." "You are not the kind of pirate who robs for money." After saying that, Benny bowed very vigorously: "I misunderstood you before, I''m sorry." After lifting his body, he continued. "Of course, what I did before may have left a bad impression on you." "But that doesn''t matter. I never wanted to have a good relationship with you." "I just hope that we can cooperate sincerely in the next actions, and that will be enough." After saying these words, Benny turned around and left regardless of his reaction. Xia En''s expression was particularly strange. On the side, Carles explained. "Benny''s character is like this. I can''t say he''s likeable, but he''s not annoying either." Xia En nodded: "It can be seen that it is indeed the case." However, after what happened today, his impression of Benny had indeed changed. At least, he understands the priorities of things. Soon, Xia En also left the meeting hall, found Joey and others in the camp, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and gave instructions on various matters in his absence. "Sneak into [Great Flame]''s body..." Different from usual, Joey looked at Shane with worry in his eyes. But she also knew that Xia En''s decision would not change because of her, so she could only speak softly. "Mr. Captain, please be careful." "I will." Shane rubbed Joey''s little head as usual and was ready to go. But before he took a few steps, a girl''s voice came from behind. "Mr. Captain" Xia En turned his head, and the petite girl Nie Yan ran into his arms like she threw herself into his arms. At the same time, a slightly cool and moist feeling came from the lips. Shane immediately understood what was happening. This time, he did not escape, but responded enthusiastically to the kiss. After a kiss. Joey reluctantly let go of his embrace, and then waved to Xia En with red eyes. "Mr. Captain, I will wait for your return!" (End of chapter) Chapter 361 Sneak into [Great Flame], [Room from whi Chapter 361: Sneaking into [Great Flame], [Room from which there is no escape] after parting It''s time to officially enter the battlefield. In the afternoon. A total of ten members of the infiltration operation have gathered at the pre-arranged location. When they met before, they had told each other their names and had a general understanding. Except for a few acquaintances that Shane knew. The rest are basically strong men who have been famous in the Seven Seas for a long time. There are both old instructors from the federal military and geniuses who once dominated the seven seas. Although they come from different islands and sea areas, and have different personalities and abilities, they gather here for the same goal. This made Xia En feel quite emotional. Because the situation of [Great Flame] has been introduced before. Therefore, after this gathering, Moritz spoke directly without any hesitation. "Please stand on the magic circle in front. We will send you directly into the [Great Flame] through the teleportation magic circle." In the center of the field, a magic circle emitting a faint blue light was ready to go. Obviously in a semi-excited state. Xia En did not hesitate and took the lead in walking into the formation. Carles, Jane, An Bing, Latiwen and William followed closely behind. After that, its Benny and the other action members. Wait until everyone is standing on the teleportation circle. Not far away, Moritz glanced at each of their faces, as if he wanted to remember them all in his mind. Then, Moritz shouted softly: "Take off your hat! Salute!" Give an order. All soldiers and staff present gave a standard military salute to these ten operational members. Their expressions were solemn, with a touch of respect in their eyes. No matter their origin or origin, as long as they are in that position, they are worthy of doing this! Moritz said solemnly: "I hope you all...will return in triumph!" The next moment. A blue light then lit up, quickly engulfing all action members. When the light dissipated, everyone''s figures had disappeared. Moritz turned his head and said to the other soldiers. "Let''s go, we have our own mission to complete!" In the blue light. Along with a sense of weightlessness, Xia En felt as if his whole body was suddenly immersed in a whole new world! Soon, the surroundings lit up quickly. What appeared in Xia En''s eyes was a dark and closed cabin. There are a lot of black and green mold spots on the surrounding walls, and traces of rust can be seen everywhere. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time. But at the same time, Xia En also noticed that the styles of the furnishings in the room were very new and did not look like relics from the old era. Shane even saw the unique standard equipment of the modern navy. "here it is" After Xia En observed carefully for a moment, he came to the conclusion - This place is exactly a cabin inside the [King]. According to Moritz, there are also some relatively stable areas inside [Great Flame]. These areas will show the original appearance of the [King]. Obviously, Shane happened to be transported to such a place. In this case, I dont know whether its good luck or bad luck. The first time he regained consciousness, Xia En discovered that there were no other companions around him. Obviously, as Moritz reminded him before, they were dispersed by the twisted power of [Great Flame] at the moment of teleportation. Immediately, Xia En took out a special communicator and tried to contact his companions. "Shasha... Shasha..." Unfortunately, there was only a burst of electricity coming from the communicator. Perhaps, the communicator can only be reactivated when they are in the same memory scene. Faced with such an isolated and helpless situation, Xia En did not panic. After all, he had been mentally prepared before this. Xia En calmed down and searched the decaying cabin, hoping to find valuable information. And this search really paid off. There were many signs of smashing in the cabin. For example, there were broken wine bottles, lopsided table lamps, and desks that seemed to have been cleaned like a "desktop cleaning master." However, these traces do not appear to have been the result of a hard battle. It seemed like someone was doing it out of desperation. even Shane also saw a torn diary. Soon, Shane picked up the scattered pieces of paper and gradually pieced together some useful information. Today is the day to go to sea. [Colonel Gold said that this will be an important secret operation and he hopes we will be mentally prepared. [However, I cant think of any enemy that can stand in the way of the powerful [King]? [When this mission is over, I will give myself a long vacation and propose to my dear Mary. [May the storm protect me...] The first half of the diary contains the crew''s records from the time he went to sea to the time he arrived at the Cold Sea. During this period, although there were two or three storms and pirate ships, for the King, they were all insignificant disturbances. It did not affect the navigation of the [King] at all. Xia En quickly passed it over. It is worth mentioning. In the diary, he also saw the record about the [Black Swan] [As we approached the far north, we encountered a strange pirate ship. [Colonel Gold projected the appearance and situation of the ship for us. [When a nearby active volcano erupted, the ship resolutely broke into the rain of fire. [I have never seen a ship make such tactical moves. Countless smoke and fire, instead of destroying it, seemed to...become the nourishment of that ship! [If he didnt have another mission, Colonel Gold might have contacted the captain, right? Seeing these words, Xia En felt a little weird. But it is not difficult to see from this that the owner of the diary is not an ordinary crew member. At least, he has a certain identity and status on the [King]. Only in this way can we have close contact with Colonel Gold and get to know him better. Xia En continued to look down, and the situation in the diary suddenly became strange. [Something happened that I dont know about! [The door and windows of the room seemed to be locked from the outside world. I was trapped, and I had no idea why! [I thought it was a prank by other crew members until I found out...] [The scene outside the window, I dont know when, it became a picture that will never change! [I have tried to tear down the door, roof, walls and floor, but I have never been able to do it. My full blow could only leave a tiny scratch on the floor. [The most bizarre thing is that every time the time on the pocket watch passes twelve o''clock, most things in this room will be reset. [The water I drank, the food I ate, even the smashed wine bottles and scratches left on the floor will miraculously recover and appear in their original locations. [Only the diary...Only in this diary, the words recorded have not disappeared! [I cannot explain this phenomenon with the knowledge I know, and I cannot escape from this room. [But I think Colonel Gold will definitely notice my disappearance and launch a rescue operation. [As long as I persist for a while, I will definitely be saved. [I decided to start timing from today to avoid confusing time. Later, records of dates began to appear in the diary. [On the first day, rescue did not come. [I started reading the books stored in the room to pass the time. On the second day, rescue did not come. [These books are written like a piece of shit. I regret not listening to Marys advice and buying more classics. [On the 10th day, the rescue plane still did not come. [I finished reading the book. [What I feel now is boredom, very boring. [I want to sleep but cant, right! liquor! As long as you are drunk, you can fall asleep, right? [In order to keep my mind clear, I have been refraining from drinking, but now I cant care so much. [Day 28, or 29th. [No matter what, it doesnt matter anymore. [I slept drunk all day, drank when I woke up, and time flew by very quickly. [But I cant help but wonder, will rescue really come? [No, as long as I persist, I will definitely be able to...] [Its about the 100th day. I''ve had enough! [I was locked up in this small room all day long, eating the same thing, drinking the same thing, and having nothing to do. It was like a prisoner without freedom. [If this continues, I will be driven crazy! I want to go out, I want to go out! Day 161? An incredible thing happened! [When I turned the doorknob, I felt it was a little loose. [This may mean that I can escape from this **** ghost place! [Could it be that...the goddess of luck finally came to me? [Its just that the world outside the door may not still be the [King] at this time. I wont drink anymore. I have to be ready to leave here. [The door opens. [But outside the door is a completely unfamiliar place. [They actually call themselves the citizens of "Great Yan"! [Are you kidding me? That''s basically a country that has long since perished! [Also, why is everyone ignoring me, as if they cant see me at all? Whats going on? [The 2nd day after the door is unlocked. [I pushed the door open again, but there was only ice and snow outside, which almost froze me to death. [I could only hide back in the room in a hurry. Day 3. [The world outside the door has changed again. [This time it is a magnificent palace, it seems to be a royal palace. [Same as before, no one noticed my presence. [But no matter what, I dont want to be locked in that room anymore. [So I have been wandering around this palace, and with the help of the "hidden" feature, I did see some good scenery. [But suddenly, I saw a man whose whole body was burning with flames. [Just looking at him, I feel like I''m going to burn myself to death. [He glanced at me and said: ''Where did the ghost come from? ] [Then the next moment, I returned to this cabin again. Its so baffling! I obviously still have a heartbeat, breathing, and can still eat and drink. Why does he call me a ghost? etc [Am I really still eating and drinking? When was the last time I ate? At this point, the handwriting of the owner of this diary has become extremely trembling and distorted. On the next page, such panic and despair finally reached its extreme. Fake! It''s all fake! [The world outside the door is all a figment of my imagination! [They are all my hallucinations. I am still alive. I must still be alive! [But why, those people cant see me...Why, even though I scratched my skin with a knife, no blood came out...] No...no! It turns out that I have already...] The contents of the diary ended abruptly here. And Xia En looked at the empty navy uniform on the floor of the room and probably guessed the truth of the matter. The reason why this room has become such an inescapable state. I''m afraid it''s because of [Great Flame]''s possession. At that time, the owner of the diary died on the spot. All that is left is an undead soul whose obsession is as strong as [Great Flame]. This also shows from the side that [Great Flame] seems to have the ability to transform other Mystic Pathfinders into the same kind. Care must be taken. on the other hand. About half a year has passed in the diary owner''s physical sense. In fact, it has only been a little over two months since the [King] disappeared. This means that the flow rate of time inside [Great Flame] may be different from the outside world. [King] has rust marks on its surface and interior as if it had been abandoned for many years. It was probably caused by this kind of time erosion. Thinking of this, Xia En looked extremely serious and thought to himself. "We have to speed up." Just in case they haven''t had time to destroy the key nodes, the [Great Flame] from the outside world has already gone berserk. Then everything will be over. at the same time. Shane also noticed another piece of information revealed in the diary. After the diary owner opened the door, he seemed to see various different scenes, but he could always return to this room. This may mean- Compared to other areas of [Great Flame], the scenes are chaotic and changeable. This enclosed cabin is instead a relatively stable anchor point. Moreover, the interior of the room is relatively safe and there is no danger. In other words, outsiders such as Shane can use this place as a safe house when exploring. You can take a break here or use it as a gathering place. After sorting out the information. Xia En didn''t hesitate too much and walked directly to the door that had trapped the owner of the diary for nearly half a year. Even he didn''t know what he would see when he opened the door. Xia En took a deep breath, slowly turned the handle, and pushed the door open. Wow The moment he opened the door, a roar like a roaring mountain and a tsunami reached his ears. The sight that greeted him was quite shocking to him. The bright sunshine shines down through the blue sky. The cool but not cold breeze blows through, which is particularly pleasant. And what appeared in front of him was a magnificent and lively city! (End of chapter) Chapter 362 【Great Flame in History】【Wedding Day】 Chapter 362 [Great Flame in History] [Wedding Day] There is no doubt about it. This is an extremely spectacular and vivid city. Bustling pedestrians pass through the streets. On both sides of the road, shops were decorated with lights and vendors gave out enthusiastic and unique shouts. There are also mechanical devices that look like steam carriages to carry people. And further away. There are strange, steeple-shaped houses. Metal pipes snaked around the exterior walls of the houses, wrapping around the buildings like snakes. Pipes extending in all directions transform the fire into steam and transport it to every corner of the house. It is used both for heating and for powering various mechanical steam devices. The clothes that people wear and the style of architecture are different from any country that Shane has ever seen, and they are very unique. Here, Shane can also see a large number of flame-like signs and patterns. Some are like runes containing secret powers; Some look like primitive and ancient hieroglyphics; Others are simply some kind of decorative fire pattern. This bustling and lively scene immediately gave Xia En a big impact. Especially when one second it was a dark and closed cabin, and the next second he walked into a city like this. Even if he didn''t start asking for information, Xia En was sure This situation and scene happened in the [Great Yan Kingdom] that existed in the past! Of course, this is different from the previous times when Shane traveled back in time. This scene is just a picture in [Dayan]''s memory. However, because it is integrated into the memories of all the citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom], this scene appears extremely realistic. It was as if Xia En had really returned to the [Great Yan Kingdom]. Pedestrians nearby did not feel anything strange about Xia En''s appearance. They just looked at him strangely and quickly looked away. This is of course not because Xia En and the owner of the diary have become undead. But because... The combat uniform he wears, which is modified from the [Black Flame Robe], has the function of hiding his aura and reducing his sense of presence. Coupled with the lively scene in the city at this time. Naturally, not many people would pay too much attention to him. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Xia En''s next actions. After observing secretly for a moment, Xia En discovered that the city in front of him seemed to be in a festive atmosphere. Most people had smiles on their faces and were beaming with joy. Like something good happened. Vendors and residents even put up decorative ribbons, lights and flowers, adding a festive touch to the city. Xia En even saw many passers-by looking around in the city like himself. Judging from their attire, they were probably from other towns in the Great Yan Kingdom. They felt like country people coming to the city. This made Xia En more confident in his guess. There must have been some kind of grand event worthy of celebration in this city, just like the [Congress of All Nations] in [City of Giant Woods]. This attracted so many tourists. "The newspaper is sold! The newspaper is sold!" An eleven or twelve-year-old red-haired newsboy shouted on the street with two bundles of newspapers on his back. "Today''s headlines!" "Our salary king will marry the princess of [People of Ice and Snow] tomorrow. The wedding will be held at Chegbosa Square!" At that time, the square will be open to most tourists, but please be careful to maintain order and etiquette and not to insult our [Dayan Kingdom]s reputation. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a look of astonishment on his face. Not to mention, there were actually newspapers circulating in Dayan''s era. More importantly... Marrying the princess of [People of Ice and Snow]? So, isn''t the time point presented by this memory exactly... The eve of the wedding day of An Bing and Xin Wang! ? Thinking of this, Xia En immediately understood where the festival-like atmosphere with lights and colorful lights in the city came from. For the people of [Dayan Kingdom], King Xin is not only the founder of this country, but also the leader who leads them to the path of prosperity and strength without having to endure hunger and cold. They naturally have extraordinary respect, love and admiration for King Xin. At this time, King Xin''s wedding naturally became a happy event for all the people. Of course there should be a good celebration. The conversations of several nearby passers-by also confirmed Xia Ens guess. "Alas, in a blink of an eye, it''s time for the king to get married." An old man with a beard and several scars on his face sighed to the people around him. "You may not believe it, but I was one of the first people to follow the king back then!" "The king at that time was just a young boy, shy and timid." "I was suddenly exiled to this cold and barren land. I was panicked at first and didn''t know what to do." "Who would have thought that he would later found the [Great Yan Kingdom] and accomplish such a great undertaking." ""you do not say! How else to say that the king is the king? " Others immediately responded. "The only person in history who can do such a thing is Wang." "And, under the leadership of Wang, our life will only get better and better in the future." The weather-stricken uncle nodded: "Yes, definitely!" Soon, he showed another mysterious smile. "I tell you, Wang was very handsome when he was young, even prettier than a little girl!" "I wonder what the princess of the [People of Ice and Snow] is like? Does she look good?" "Are you worthy of our king?" When talking about such gossipy topics, everyone became excited and talked about it. "I heard she is a great beauty!" "If she wasn''t pretty, the king wouldn''t marry her, right?" The uncle shook his head: "That''s not necessarily the case." "Wang is good at everything, but he is too soft-hearted. He always keeps some things in his heart and does not tell others." "Once again..." When talking about his past with King Xin, the uncle was full of pride and was obviously proud of it. Other passers-by also cast envious glances at him. This shows how popular King Xin is in the eyes of the people of [Dayan Kingdom]. Soon, an aunt came out of the room and without saying a word, slapped the uncle on the back of the head. "Stop bragging, does that count as following King Xin?" "Isn''t it just that when I was a cook, I helped Wang Xin cook two meals?" "I was deceived by your words when I was young. I''m still bragging at such an old age. I''m not ashamed!" The uncle was a little hesitant and muttered in a low voice. "What''s wrong, cooking doesn''t count as following? You bitch..." "Um?" The aunt glanced away coldly. The uncle trembled and said again: "You are so beautiful today, you are worthy of being my wife." Everyone nearby laughed, and the air was filled with joy. Listen to the conversations of these people and watch their lively and vivid expressions. Xia En''s mood was a bit complicated. If he hadn''t known it beforehand, he probably would never have thought that the people he was talking to were just afterimages of the past. How real they were really surprised Xia En. Moreover, Shane also realized that these people were not images without interaction. I can even communicate and communicate with them. Just like a real living person. This is because [Great Yan] integrates not only memories, but also the souls of every citizen of [Great Yan Kingdom], allowing the people in these memories to retain their previous personalities and behavior patterns. It can be said that [Great Yan] at this time is a virtual world with a high degree of fidelity. What may have happened in [Great Yan Country] in the past can also happen here. Didi! Suddenly, the communicator on Xia En''s body responded. "Shasha...is...Shasha...Captain Shane?" After connecting to the communicator, a familiar female voice immediately sounded. Although the signal of the communicator seemed to be affected by some kind of force, it was still barely usable. Hearing this voice, Xia En''s expression suddenly became strange. Because the person speaking is none other than [Princess Dayan] An Bing! And since communication can be achieved, it means that Anbing may not want to be located far away from him, or he may even be in this city! Shane quickly replied: "It''s me." "An Bing, where are you now?" An Bing''s voice paused. "Fanyan City, I am in Fanyan City now." Xia En asked doubtfully: "Fanyan City...that is?" "Fanyan City is the royal capital of [Great Yan Kingdom] and the most prosperous and bustling city in the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]." An Bing explained: "If I guessed correctly, you should already know it, right?" "This scene in my memory is exactly the day before my wedding." Shane responded: "That''s right." "Are you... okay?" "Thank you for your concern, but I''m not that fragile." An Bing replied: "I have already realized in my heart... Shasha..." "...There seems to be some problem with the signal of the communicator. Let''s meet at the Violet Cafe at No. 32 Belot Street." "You should be able to find out the location of this cafe by just asking passers-by." "In this era, the people of [Dayan Kingdom] are extremely friendly to strangers." "Okay, I will, see you later." Soon, Shane hung up the communicator and asked the uncle from before about the location of the cafe. Just as An Bing said, these people of [Great Yan Country] seem to have some kind of hospitality characteristics. The uncle not only pointed out the way for Xia En very enthusiastically, but also said. "Young man, I see you have just arrived in Fanyan City." "Don''t be afraid of strangers, just ask, what kind of people do we in Dayan have?" He thought quietly. "Hey, little brother, I see you are young. Do you have a wife?" "If you want to find a wife, I can introduce you to..." Seeing that the topic has turned to a blind date for Xia En. He couldn''t bear the enthusiasm, so he had to run away. However, before leaving, Xia En looked at the door he came from. On the surface, it was just the front entrance of an ordinary hut, and there was nothing surprising about it. When the door is pulled outward, you can even walk into the interior of the cabin. It''s also a very ordinary room. But if you hold the door handle and push it inward, you will see a dark and strange cabin! And for some reason, everyone else around him didn''t seem to see this door. Sure enough, it was just as recorded in the diary. You can return to the previous cabin through this door. Xia En silently remembered the location of the door, and then walked towards the agreed place. All the way. Xia En felt more and more the prosperous and vigorous atmosphere in Fanyan City. Almost everyone has light in their eyes and good expectations for the future. This may not be the most powerful period of [Great Yan Kingdom], but it is the most energetic period, like the sun at seven or eight o''clock in the morning. Even the shabby hawkers on the roadside will puff up their chests proudly when mentioning the name of [Dayan]. Xia En actually felt a little familiar with this scene. In the original [City of Giant Trees], there was also a similar atmosphere. However, the endings for both of them don''t seem to be good. To be honest, there was something that made Xia En feel strange. That is, he did not see any religious-related buildings or things in this city. Whether it is the [Hui Sect] that was the orthodox religion in the old days, or the [Deep Sea Church] that was widely spread in later generations. Even the most likely [Steam Church] has not left any trace in this city. This is actually quite rare. After all, there are always people who hope to gain some kind of sustenance and relief from religion. Not to mention, in this world, gods are actually real things. And the reason why [Great Yan Kingdom] is in this situation. Shane could only think of one explanation People here don''t believe in gods, they only believe in themselves and the fire in their hands. Of course, there is also the salary king who leads them forward. Not long after. Shane came to the Violet Cafe. For [Dayan Kingdom] at this time, coffee shops seemed to be a new thing. People seem to prefer spirits to coffee. Therefore, there were not many customers in the cafe and it seemed a bit deserted. However, the environment of the entire cafe is very good, quiet and stylish, and not outdated at all from a modern perspective. Xia En quickly found the dark ice in a corner. There was a cup of coffee on the table in front of An Bing, exuding a fragrant aroma. Looking at An Bing at this time, Xia En had a strange feeling inexplicably. Although this woman now wears a hood and a veil, her whole person perfectly blends in with the atmosphere of this cafe. Elegant and calm. As if...she should be sitting there. In other words, this position belongs to her? "You''re here?" Seeing Xia En walking in front of him, An Bing came to his senses belatedly, as if he had just been separated from some memory. Noticing Xia En''s gaze, An Bing''s smile was a little bitter. "Sorry for making you laugh." She opened her mouth to explain: "Actually... I was a regular customer of this cafe a long time ago." "Even after I get married, I will come here to order a cup of coffee and enjoy a quiet afternoon." I didnt expect that after so many years, I could still taste the coffee here. "And the taste is really the same as before..." An Bing''s tone was extremely complicated. There is joy, relief, and irresolvable melancholy. (End of chapter) Chapter 363 The dark ice of the past, the way to sne Chapter 363 Dark Ice from the Past, How to Sneak into the Palace Once you have lost something, you will know how to cherish it more. For people like An Bing who have lost their country, they can see the old [Great Yan Kingdom] again and live in it as before. How could she not be touched by it? Human beings are such a creature. Sometimes even though we know it is an illusion or an illusion, we still cannot help but get immersed in it. However, in order to prevent Dark Ice from evolving into a situation of "What''s wrong with the world of illusion?", Xia En still reminded him. "Ms. Dark Ice, please don''t forget, this is just a memory scene reappeared by [Great Flame]." "Dreams will wake up..." "Don''t worry, I can''t tell the difference between memory and reality, I just feel a little nostalgic." An Bing sighed softly: "And you are right, dreams will wake up." "All this will turn into nothing with the awakening of [Great Flame]." Hearing what An Bing said, Xia En relaxed a little. Then, he changed the subject and said, "Do you have any clues about that key node?" Although the [Great Yan Kingdom] seems to be full of flowers and lively at the moment, Xia En knows very well that he is not here to be a historical tourist. Eliminating those five key nodes and completely destroying [Great Flame] is the purpose of their trip. When it came to business, An Bing also restrained the sentimentality just now, straightened his expression and said. "[Fire] has no response for the time being, and the range it can detect key nodes should be limited." Feedback is only given once we get close enough. "I see." Shane looked surprised. Strictly speaking, [Fire] is like a radar that can search for key nodes. It''s just that the range of this radar cannot cover the entire Fanyan City. Xia En and others need to take the initiative to search. At this time, An Bing added. "However, I also have a rough guess as to where the key nodes may exist." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Please speak." "If I guess correctly, the so-called node of [Great Yan] is probably the obsession of the people of Great Yan." "So, it is very likely that it is located in a place that they highly identify with or value." "For example... the palace of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved. He had not thought carefully about the relationship between key nodes and [Great Yan Kingdom] before. But now after listening to An Bing''s words, I found that this might indeed be the case. However, there was one more thing that made Xia En a little curious. That is In what specific form will this node appear? Is it a thing, a person, or some other indescribable existence? However, I am afraid that this problem can only be known by seeing the node in person. After gathering his thoughts, Xia En asked. "So, shall we go directly to the palace now?" An Bing shook his head: "I''m afraid not. In fact, I went to survey the area around the palace before." "Right now, it''s the eve of King Xin''s wedding, and the guards around the palace are extremely tight." "There are even several legendary-level auras patrolling the area." "Whether it is sneaking in or forcing a breakthrough, it is unrealistic. We must find other ways." "legend" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but frown. In the past [Great Yan Kingdom], there were naturally legendary level experts. But Xia En didn''t expect that these people would also be recreated by [Great Flame]. If you think about it carefully, the power and realm of [Great Flame] are far beyond those of ordinary legends, and the remnant souls of these legendary powerful people are used as raw materials. It is not that difficult to simulate what they looked like in history. on the other hand. [Great Yan] only does not allow outsiders of the legendary secret path to enter. There is a legendary realm in his body, which is a normal phenomenon. Even the legendary strong men he reappeared were weaker than those in history. But for Xia En and others, this is still an insurmountable chasm. It can be said that from the beginning, this was not an equal battle. "This is going to be difficult." Shane muttered to himself. This combat uniform may be able to hide from the perception of ordinary mystics. But it is undoubtedly a fantasy to sneak into the palace in front of the legendary strong man. As for a head-on confrontation with a legendary powerhouse? Still in his old nest in Dayan Palace? Even Xia En felt this was too reckless. However, Xia En looked at An Bing''s expression and found that she was not nervous or anxious, but felt confident. Xia En''s heart moved and he asked. "Ms. An Bing, have you already thought of a way?" "That''s right." An Bing admitted frankly. "Since we can''t sneak in and attack by force, we have no choice but to walk into the palace openly." "ah?" Upon hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment. "What''s the meaning?" "Wait, could it be that..." Just when Xia En vaguely guessed something. Ringing A clear and sweet sound came from the wind chime at the door of the coffee shop, and the door was pushed open. A girl walked in from the door. "Boss! As usual, a cup of Earl''s Mountain black tea and your best freshly baked cranberry biscuits." "Okay!" This girl was obviously a regular visitor to the coffee shop, and the female owner in a purple dress greeted her warmly. "But Xiaobing, your position today..." The girl turned her head and saw Xia En and the two of them not far away, and was suddenly surprised. After hesitating for a moment, she walked towards the two of them. at the same time. Xia En''s heart also caused quite a stir. He was extremely familiar with this girl''s appearance. Because...this is surprisingly An Bing who is several years younger! Compared to the An Bing he knew. The person in front of me is clearly still a girl in her prime, more innocent and lively, giving people a youthful feeling. He doesn''t have that indifferent temperament. In terms of charm, perhaps the princess version of An Bing, which is now fully bloomed, mature, noble and elegant, and has a touch of young womanliness, is even better. But when anyone sees such a young and cheerful girl. I''m afraid they will all have the feeling that "the corpse spots have faded". The moment he saw the girl, Xia En understood what An Bing''s plan was. "you" Before Xia En could speak, the girl An Bing had already walked up to the two of them. Looking at the coffee on the table, she sniffed and said in surprise. "Huh? Is it also Earl''s Mountain black tea?" "You have great taste!" The girl An Bing smiled and looked at the hooded An Bing sitting on the seat. "I thought not many people knew about this treasure shop!" I dont usually have many customers, but I didnt expect to meet someone who likes to drink Earls Mountain black tea here as much as I do today. "Even the seats we want to sit in are the same. We are really destined..." Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Isn''t it fate? You two are basically the same person! However, Xia En also knew that the girl An Bing in front of him was not her in real history. It is just an existence born from the cognition and memory of [Great Flame]. Even because the real An Bing did not die in the disaster, he lacked the remaining soul after death. Her behavior patterns and personality will also deviate from the original body to a certain extent. Xia En glanced at An Bing beside him and didn''t say anything. In his opinion, this is An Bing''s own private matter after all. No matter what An Bing plans to do to An Bing in front of her, it should be her own decision. The silence didn''t last long. Seeing that the two of them didn''t reply, the girl An Bing was not discouraged, but said with slightly red cheeks and a little shyness. "Actually...I''m getting married tomorrow." "I don''t know if I will have another chance to come to this cafe in the future, so I want to have one last coffee at this old location." "Can you two please make it easier? As soon as these words came out, the first person to react was the owner of the coffee shop not far away. "What? Xiaobing, are you getting married?" "When did it happen? Why didn''t you tell me first?" The girl An Bing was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, it''s because my situation is quite special." " "It''s a marriage contract made in the family." "To this day, I haven''t met my fianc yet!" "Huh? It''s too much for such a thing to happen." The female boss looked filled with indignation: "Aren''t you taking your marriage as a trivial matter?" "What if that fianc turns out to be some idle prodigal? Wouldn''t your whole life be ruined?" The girl An Bing whispered: "It shouldn''t be possible, right?" "Everyone says that my fianc is an upright and good man." "Even enemies will show admiration when his name is mentioned." The coffee shop owner shook his head disapprovingly. "Hearsay is unreliable. Who knows if others are saying good things for him?" "To take a step back, even if these news are true." "Marriage is not about a man''s strength, but whether he treats his wife well and whether he cares about his family." "What if he has many mistresses outside, attracting bees and butterflies all day long, will his life be easy?" Hearing this, the girl An Bing seemed a little shaken, but she still said. "He shouldn''t be that kind of person." Shane''s expression was a little strange. He was a little curious, how would the boss react if he knew that the person he was evaluating would be the current salary king in [Great Yan Country]? "Humph, I''m not married yet, so I''m just talking for him." "Xiaobing, I''m afraid your life will not be easy in the future." The female boss had obviously been emotionally hurt, and she vowed: "In short, no man can be trusted!" "I came to Dayan Country before to escape from my original betrothed." "If you also want to escape from marriage, you can contact me." "I will help you find the safest possible way to the Southern Continent." "No, no, no, no need!" The girl pressed the ice and waved her hands quickly. "Boss, I appreciate your kindness, but this is also a responsibility I must fulfill." Seeing this, the coffee shop owner stopped trying to persuade him and left silently. The girl An Bing looked at Xia En and the two, waiting for their reply. At this time, An Bing spoke. "We are really destined to each other, why don''t we sit down and talk." "this" The girl An Bing hesitated. If it were any other stranger, she would certainly not agree to such a request. But for some reason, the girl felt that this extremely mysterious woman had an indescribable sense of familiarity and intimacy. So, after hesitating for a moment, the girl An Bing sat down and said. "What do you want to talk about?" "Let''s talk about your engagement." An Bing said: "If I say. Although you and your husband are meeting for the first time." "But after you get married, your husband will be very good to you and will take good care of you and meet your needs." "He will also take you to walk in the snow and see the beautiful scenery in various parts of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Will you fall in love with him?" The girl An Bing looked at her with a strange expression. "Of course, he is so good to me and he is my husband, why shouldn''t I fall in love with him?" An Bing continued. "Then what if, later you find out that his behavior towards you is to stabilize your family and for the overall situation of [Great Yan]." "Will you still love him? The girl An Bing was silent for a moment: "Should... or will, right?" "Although I feel a little embarrassed in my heart, I have always ignored my heart and deeds." "As long as he''s always been nice to me, why should I expose that?" Dark Ice''s next question followed. "Then let me ask you, what if one day suddenly, you discover that... your husband is taking action against your family." "Your mother might even die in his hands. What would you do?" By this time, the girl An Bing finally realized something was wrong. "What are you talking about?" "How is this possible?" An Bing said in a cold tone: "Just think that I made a bold assumption." "So, what''s your answer?" The girl''s face showed some struggle, but she still said. "I should ask him, why did he do this? What is the truth of the matter?" "very good." An Bing nodded and said in a slightly cruel tone. "And after you did this, instead of giving you an answer, your husband relegated you to the cold palace and never wanted to see you again." "You will live alone like this until the end of time..." "What I want to ask is, if the future really turns out to be like this, will you regret not running away from your marriage today and leaving this city that is destined to bring you sorrow?" This question made the girl An Bing completely lost in thought. Struggle and confusion flashed across her face. After a long silence, she spoke. "I think... I probably won''t regret it, right?" "Even if the final outcome is a tragedy, if you don''t start, how will it end?" "Besides, I believe that even if that happens, there must be his reasons." "In other words, it''s something I didn''t do well enough." "If I could have noticed the problem earlier and solved it, things would have ended differently!" The girl An Bing said extremely seriously. Those big bright eyes seemed to be shining, which made Xia En and An Bing beside him feel a little dazzling. "It''s actually like this..." An Bing said to himself in a daze. "So...is this who I used to be?" She looked at her young self in front of her, and some of the knots in her heart were quietly untied. At this time, the girl An Bing asked cautiously. "Sister, who are you?" An Bing took off a corner of her veil and said, "Actually, I am you in the future." "And now, I''d like you to do me a small favor... (End of chapter) Chapter 364 【Country of Unbelief】【Great Yan Palace】 Chapter 364 [Country of Faithlessness] [Great Yan Palace] After a while. Xia En and the other two left the Violet Cafe with the girl An Bing. Regarding the statement that "the woman in front of me is myself from the future". Although the girl An Bing acted extremely shocked, she quickly accepted the status quo and agreed to An Bing''s request. This is not only because of the highly similar faces, but also because... The extremely detailed and realistic future described by An Bing! "It turns out that I will look so good-looking in the future!" Walking on the road, the girl An Bing looked carefully at An Bing beside her and whispered in a low voice. "As expected of me!" Xia En couldn''t help but laugh a little. After all, she is still a girl at heart, so it is normal for her to be concerned about this kind of issue. Soon, the three of them arrived at a hotel in Fanyan City. After renting a room from the hotel owner, the three of them walked in. The girl An Bing then realized that she was a little wary and asked. "By the way, what is it that you want to ask me to help you with?" "Why did you bring me here?" "Actually, the favor I want to ask you for is very simple..." A trace of guilt flashed in the eyes under the dark ice veil. "Then please take a nap first." Then she stretched out her hand and patted the girl''s back gently. "Varied" The girl An Bing didn''t react at all. She only felt a chill coming from the back of her heart, and her consciousness seemed to be frozen. He just passed out. "Feel sorry." An Bing supported the girl''s limp body and said softly. "Go to sleep, everything will be over when you wake up." From beginning to end, Xia En just watched An Bing''s behavior. There is no obstruction and no support. Only then did Xia En speak. "Sure enough... do you want to enter the palace directly as yourself?" "That''s right." An Bing admitted frankly: "It is also the safest and most secure method." "You have heard what she said just now. In fact, it was not until the wedding day that I met King Xin for the first time." "By the same token, before that, he didn''t know what kind of person I was?" "As for other people in the family, I can hide it from them with a little disguise." An Bing smiled bitterly. "It can be said that this is a plan that only I can realize." "The only problem is the way [Great Flame] has shaped me." "In fact, the best way is to erase it directly." "However, I know that she is just a figment, but I still can''t be cruel." "Sorry, Captain Shane, I made you laugh." Shane shook his head: "I think you are right to do this." "For a person who can kill even his past self without hesitation, I will only feel a chill." "And cannot be considered a companion." "Is that so?" An Bing glanced at Xia En with a complicated expression. "Captain Shane, has anyone told you that you are very similar to King Xin?" "Um?" Hearing this, Xia En was startled. He didn''t expect that An Bing would make such a comment about him. Thinking about it carefully, Joey seems to have said something similar? Maybe...he and King Xin do have something in common. This is probably why he can get along so well with Yan Yan. The two did not discuss this topic in depth. After simply placing the unconscious girl An Bing. An Bing took Xia En out of the hotel and walked towards an area in Fanyan City. On the way, Xia En casually asked about the faith of [Great Yan Kingdom]. An Bing was not particularly surprised that Xia En had observed this, but directly admitted it frankly. "That''s right." "In [Great Yan Country], the majority are those without faith." "Only a handful of people pray to the gods." An Bing explained: "The reason is also very simple." "Actually, the first batch of citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom] are those who were exiled." "Many of them were exiled to the [Far North] because they offended the church on the southern continent." "It can also be regarded as a historical issue." "And under the rule of King Xin, the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] also discovered that they can still live a good life even without gods." "Over time, fewer and fewer people believe in gods, and even if foreign priests and priests come to [Great Yan Country] to preach, they often have little effect." "Later, most churches classified [Great Yan Kingdom] as an [unbelieving country] and never sent missionaries here again, which eventually evolved into today''s situation." "[The country of faithlessness]..." Shane muttered the name repeatedly. Now he suddenly understood why [Great Yan Country] was rejected by other countries in the first place. Obviously, faith is a factor that cannot be ignored. For some kingdoms, a country without faith is undoubtedly terrible. Especially when they have no faith but still possess terrifying cohesion. This will undoubtedly be regarded as pure heresy by many kingdoms! While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of a cold-looking mansion. When he walked to the gate of the mansion, An Bing took off the veil on his face. She seems to have applied some kind of disguise to her appearance, making her look slightly younger, closer to the girlish version of Dark Ice. Although the cold temperament still exists, unless you are a close relative, it is difficult to distinguish such a small difference. Just like some time-travelers, even if they are slightly different from the original owner after traveling through time. But in the eyes of others, they would only feel that he suddenly changed his temper, and would not suspect that he had been replaced by another person. "Miss, are you back?" Soon, the guard at the door came to greet him and said hello respectfully. "The patriarch has been waiting for you for a long time." The other guard looked at Xia En beside An Bing. "Miss, who is this?" An Bingmian did not change his expression and opened his mouth to explain. "This is the personal bodyguard sent by King Xin. It is said that he is here to protect my safety." Hearing this, the two guards did not have the slightest doubt and quickly stood in awe. There are also differences among the guards. And the status of the people sent by King Xin must be higher than them. The two people immediately stopped blocking him: "Miss, sir, please come in." In this way, Xia En and An Bing easily entered the mansion. In the passage with no outsiders, An Bing explained. "This is our family''s residence in [Fanyan City]. Usually the young people of the family live here." "The older generation generally hates the [Great Yan Kingdom] and feels that they have destroyed the tranquility and purity of the [Far North]." "But young people do the exact opposite." "After all, this city is much more lively than the cold ice field before, and there are all kinds of novel things that have never been seen before..." While he was talking, several young men and women came from a short distance away. Seeing An Bing, one of the girls immediately smiled and walked over. "Sister An Bing! You are back!" "Xiao Wan..." Seeing this girl, An Bing''s expression immediately became complicated and gentle. "Congratulations, you will become the princess of [Great Yan Kingdom] tomorrow." The girl named Xiaowan joked: "When we meet again in the future, I will call you Your Highness the Princess." An Bing shook his head: "No, you can call me sister anytime you want." Xiaowan''s expression was a little strange. She always felt that there was something different about Sister An Bing in front of her? But where exactly it is, I can''t tell. Moreover, why is Sister An Bing looking at her so sad? An Bing didn''t care about the strange looks in others'' eyes and continued. "From now on, when I''m not by your side, remember to eat well and don''t study secret techniques until it''s too late." "It''s best not to go out alone..." She talked like an old lady. Xiaowan looked confused and confused. "Sister An Bing, you are so weird today." Someone next to him explained: "I''m probably getting married tomorrow. Isn''t An Bing''s mood ups and downs a bit?" "By the way, Miss An Bing, the clan leader is waiting for you in the room." "Go quickly, otherwise she will be angry again." "I see." An Bing nodded, glanced at Xiaowan reluctantly, and turned around to leave. After parting with this group of people, An Bing said to Xia En. "Xiaowan is my most beloved cousin, and she has been the best with me since childhood." "Even after we got married, she would often come to the palace to visit me." "But then one day, I suddenly learned about Xiaowan''s disappearance." Xia En frowned: "Could it be that..." "Yes, according to my investigation, she should also be locked up in that weird underground research institute." An Bing''s smile was bitter, but his eyes were particularly determined. "I have made up my mind to find the truth of the past in [Great Flame]." "No matter what the final result is, I will pursue it to the end!" "This is what I was taught when I was young." Then, An Bing looked at Xia En seriously. "Captain Shane, can I ask you to lend me a helping hand?" Xia En was slightly startled. He didn''t expect An Bing to suddenly make such a request. But leaving aside his relationship with Yan Yan, he has already advanced to the secret keeper and wants to be promoted and increase his strength. The fastest way is to explore the secrets buried in history. This coincides with An Bing''s request. In other words, Xia En would do this even without An Bing''s request. Therefore, he did not hesitate and said directly. "Of course." An Bing''s face showed gratitude. "Thank you, Captain Shane." Not long after. An Bing went to the room to find her mother. Since it was mother and daughter meeting, it was not convenient for Xia En to accompany them, so they could only be placed in a room and waited silently. Until late afternoon. An Bing came to Xia En again. "Captain Shane, because we have to prepare for tomorrow''s wedding, we can enter the palace today." "Please come with me." Accompanied by An Bing and other [Ice and Snow People] family guards, Xia En finally arrived in front of the Great Yan Palace. This palace is a little different from other palaces that Xia En has seen before. It gives people a feeling of grandeur rather than elegance. The entire palace complex has almost no decorative structures. Things like reliefs and murals are completely missing. The most important and only decoration is the strange and mysterious flame pattern on the wall. It is said that this is called [Fire Pattern] by the people of Dayan. It is not only the intention of fire, but also the symbol of their country. With such a simple and concise architectural form, at first glance, it looks more like an indestructible fortress than a palace. To be honest, this is not the same palace that Xia En expected. But it fits the [Great Yan Kingdom] and the temperament of the salary king very well. And An Bing''s time living in this palace can already be measured in years, so naturally there will be no surprise. There was only a deep nostalgia in her expression. The place where Xia En and others are going now is located behind the palace. in the original history. This is where An Bing spent her last night before her wedding. Then early the next morning, they would be dressed up by a dedicated person, put on complicated and gorgeous wedding clothes, and complete the sacred and grand wedding. Although An Bing''s name is just the princess. But in fact, King Xin did not intend to marry another woman. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the de facto queen of [Great Yan Kingdom]. This wedding will naturally appear extremely grand and grand. This is when An Bing needs to make these preparations in advance. And the person who came to guide the way was surprisingly an "acquaintance" of Xia En and the two - [Black Flame Walker] Irina! However, Irina did not know Xia En at this time. She also glanced at Xia En with some doubts. "Excuse me, are you..." An Bing quickly gave a reasonable explanation: "He is a personal guard sent by our family, and he is considered my natal family." "When the wedding is over, he will naturally leave." Shane''s mouth twitched. Where do you put this matryoshka doll? However, with An Bing''s guarantee, the identity of a guard is very credible. At this time, Irina didn''t have any doubts and said clearly. "I see, you should be more careful." "In the past two days, it seems that a mysterious person of unknown origin has sneaked into the palace. I don''t know what he wants to do?" "hiss" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Irina realized that she had made a mistake and quickly shut her mouth. This kind of thing should not be said to the future princess. "Um?" Hearing this, An Bing frowned suddenly. "The mysterious man who sneaked into the palace?'' In her memory, nothing like this happened on the eve of her wedding. Is this an error in [Dayan]''s memory? Or are there other factors that changed this memory scene? Xia En looked at An Bing''s expression and quickly realized that the situation was abnormal. Unidentified outsider? The first thing that Xia En thought of was the other members of the infiltration operation. However, when Irina wasn''t paying attention, he turned on the communicator to check. The communication target displayed on the communicator is still An Bing. And, judging from the time. A few days before this memory scene, Xia En and others should not have started the infiltration operation. Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly thought of a guess that made his hair stand on end. Could it be... In addition to these action members, are there other people who have entered the interior of [Great Flame]? (End of chapter) Chapter 365 [Omniscient Sage] [Meet King Xin! 】 Chapter 365 [The Omniscient Sage] [Meet King Xin! Although this guess sounds incredible. But after ruling out other possibilities, what remains seems to be the truth. And the question is - Who exactly infiltrated [Great Flame]? Still, the military was barely aware of it. Suddenly, a guess broke into Xia En''s mind - Truth Society! During this period, the disappearance of the [Truth Society] was an abnormal thing. Plus the member of the [Truth Society] who suddenly disappeared and was supposed to carry out the infiltration operation. The whereabouts of the [Truth Society] have undoubtedly become more suspicious. However, what confused Xia En was... [Truth Society] What is the purpose of doing this? If it was to eliminate the undead [Great Flame], they could cooperate with the federal military, so why would they do it privately? Even for that bet, this approach is extremely unreasonable. It can be inferred from this that the purpose of the [Truth Society] is definitely not that simple. "Buzz..." That''s when. The wooden box containing [Fire] in Xia En''s arms suddenly vibrated slightly. "This is?" Xia En felt a little warmth coming from the wooden box, and enlightenment quickly emerged in his heart. Obviously, this is when [Fire] senses the existence of the node and reacts. This also means that An Bing''s guess is correct. The key node of [Great Flame] is inside this palace! Moreover, it is not too far away from them. Xia En glanced at An Bing and found that her expression had also changed, and she was obviously aware of the change in [Fire]. However, what happened next was a bit unexpected for the two of them. soon. The temperature of the [fire] in their arms continues to rise, becoming more and more ironing. The amplitude of the vibration is also becoming more and more intense. Xia En and An Bing looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other''s eyes. This phenomenon can only mean - The distance between that key node and them is rapidly shortening! On the other hand. The speed of their travel has not changed. In other words, that node is not something fixed somewhere, but has the ability to act on its own! And at this time, the "node" actively approached the two of them! Neither Shane nor Xia En had any expectations for this situation. His face could not help but change slightly. Xia En reacted quickly and looked around. Look for possible nodes. However, there are many blind spots in the entire palace. He was not familiar with the terrain here. After scanning around, Xia En didn''t see any suspicious targets. Instead, it was his actions that attracted Irina''s suspicious gaze. "Sir, what are you looking at?" Think about it too. As an important place in the Great Yan Kingdom, the royal palace has a very special status. If an outsider looks around here, it will inevitably arouse others'' vigilance. Xia En had no choice but to calm down his gaze silently and explain. "I come from a small place. It''s my first time seeing the palace. I''m really a little curious. Please forgive me." "oh" Irina nodded. She reluctantly accepted this statement, but her eyes were obviously a little more wary. Observing Xia En from time to time prevented him from looking around openly. And, just when Xia En opened his mouth to explain. The previously agitated [Tinder] calmed down very quickly and no longer felt like it was being ironed. Xia En cried out in his heart that it was a pity. Obviously, that key node has moved away from them again. Opportunities are always fleeting. If you miss it, it will undoubtedly become extremely difficult to find it again. An Bing also had a similar look on his face. Not long after. Irina led the two of them to a relatively deserted side hall. This is just a place where they stay for one night. The palace belonging to An Bing has actually been built, but he can only move into it after he officially gets married tomorrow. But even so. This side hall does not look simple, but is thoughtfully decorated with some festive decorations. Moreover, there are elite soldiers patrolling the surrounding area. As he went deeper into the palace. Xia En and the two clearly felt that there were several powerful auras as deep as mountains lurking nearby. That was the legendary strongman in the [Great Yan] Palace. There are several legendary auras lingering around this side hall. Obviously, this was both curiosity and protection for the future princess. However, after realizing this, Xia En''s mood sank slightly. Under the protection of so many strong men, their safety is guaranteed. But on the other hand, if they wanted to do some tricks in the palace or conduct investigations secretly, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult. An Bing asked Irina with half emotion and half doubt. "Why are there so many legendary strong men in the palace?" "Are they all here to act as guards? Irina explained: "It''s not because of those mysterious people who sneaked into the palace a few days ago." "If similar incidents happen again, where will [Xinwang]''s face be?" "Besides, it''s just in time for your wedding to the king." "In order to prevent this wedding from going wrong, the king urgently dispatched several legendary powerhouses to ensure that the wedding is successfully completed." Irina patted her chest and vowed. "Leave your safety to us!" Xia En understood immediately upon hearing this. This was the chain reaction caused by those mysterious people sneaking in, making the entire palace extremely tightly guarded. However, such a defensive network not only prevented the intrusion of suspicious persons, but also severely frustrated the plans of Xia En and the others. Now, they have come in, but they still cannot move freely. Even if you want to visit the palace, you will definitely be accompanied by [Black Flame Walker]. "Okay, I''ll send you here." "If you have any needs, you can always discuss it with the guards outside the palace." "As long as we can do it, we will try our best to satisfy it." After that, Irina walked outside the palace to wait without any delay. After arriving in a room with no outsiders. An Bing''s face looked a little ugly. "This is troublesome. I didn''t expect such a change to happen." Xia En also frowned slightly. The appearance of the mysterious infiltrator undoubtedly disrupted their plans. And being surrounded by so many powerful people, even Xia En felt a little trapped in barriers and restricted everywhere. What depressed the two of them the most was. This seems to be the result of them throwing themselves into a trap? "The mysterious man who sneaked into the palace..." "Is their purpose also the node of [Great Flame]?" An Bing quickly had such doubts and asked. Shane replied: "Not necessarily." "Miss Anbing, I wonder if you have ever heard of...[The Truth Society]?" "[Truth Society]?" An Bing looked confused and shook his head. "I had not heard of this organization." Therefore, Xia En briefly introduced his understanding of the [Truth Society] to An Bing and explained. "This matter is most likely the work of the [Truth Society]." "They seem to be planning some conspiracy behind the federal officials'' back." "[Truth Society]...crazy people pursuing [truth]..." After hearing these words, An Bing''s face changed slightly and he murmured. "Although I have never heard of the [Truth Society], in the years before I fell into eternal sleep, I heard that [King Xin] had contact with a man who claimed to be [The Omniscient Sage]." "At that time, [Xinwang] tried every means to prevent the great flood from coming, and even tried some methods that are considered taboo now." "The reason why he came into contact with the [Omniscient Sage] was because he wanted to learn from him the way to solve the disaster of annihilation." "As for what he said in the conversation with the [Omniscient Sage], I don''t know." "But I remember one thing. The [Omniscient Sage] claimed that he was on the path of pursuing absolute truth." "Perhaps...he has some kind of connection with the [Truth Society] in later generations?" "[Omniscient Sage]?" Upon hearing this name, Xia En frowned suddenly. This name is in line with the usual naming style of the [Truth Society]. Moreover, in the era of [Great Flame], the current [Truth Society] may not have been born. In other words, its form and name have changed several times over a long period of time. Only in the end did it evolve into the present [Truth Society]. Therefore, it is entirely possible that An Bing does not know about the [Truth Society] but has heard about the [Omniscient Sage]. Moreover, the prefix [omniscient] is definitely not something that ordinary people would dare to use. Even the teachings of some gods do not dare to mention "omniscience and omnipotence". Apart from the exaggeration, those who dare to take this nickname must have their own extraordinary qualities. Inexplicable. Xia En suddenly remembered something that Jian once told him - In the [Truth Society], the attribution of most truth numbers will be re-ordered as members change and research results are released. But there is only one serial number, and it has never changed since the establishment of the [Truth Society]. That is, truth number NO.001! That is, in the legend, the existence that founded the [Truth Society]. But even Jane, the truth number NO.008, has never seen that man with her own eyes. I dont even know his name in the [Truth Society]. The only thing that is known is that this president has left some important documents and materials in the [Truth Society], which determined the path and direction of the [Truth Society]. at this time. It was difficult for Xia En not to associate this mysterious president of the [Truth Society] with the [Omniscient Sage] mentioned by An Bing. Even without any basis, Xia En felt that they were most likely the same person! Just at this moment. A glimmer of light flashed in Xia En''s eyes again. Several lines of information appeared in [The Eye of Peeping Secrets]. You discovered a new "secret"! [The establishment of the "Truth Society"! [The secret solution density is +33%! ["[Great Flame] The Mystery of the Nation''s Destruction" solution density +4%! You have received a gift from "Secret"! [Comprehensive quality: 3132! Feeling the slightly improved power and looking at the several lines of text flashing before his eyes, Xia En''s heart moved. "Sure enough, my guess was right." "That [Omniscient Sage] is most likely the founder of the [Truth Society]! Only then will he receive the [Secret] gift!" Xia En thought about it carefully and found out There is no independent relationship between these [secrets]. The cracking of one [Secret] will also simultaneously increase the decryption density of other [Secrets]. It''s just that the proportions occupied by these key information are different. At this time, the information on the panel still explains. There is also an important relationship between this [Omniscient Sage] and the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom]. So after knowing his existence, some of the hidden doubts were solved. Just thinking about this, Xia En realized something. It turns out that at that time, [Xinwang] had contact with the [Truth Society]? Moreover, according to An Bing, he seems to have reached some kind of cooperation with the [Omniscient Sage]? Could this be related to the suspicious underground research institute and the mysterious man who sneaked into the palace a few days ago? Xia En couldn''t help but fell into thinking. After finally solving a mystery, I found that more questions had arisen. The truth seems to remain buried in the mists of history. However, Shane was not frustrated. He believed that as long as he solved the mystery step by step, one day he would be able to completely crack these "secrets". "Captain Shane?" Looking at Xia En who was deep in thought, An Bing couldn''t help but interrupt. "What should we do now? Do you have any good ideas?" Hearing this, Xia En immediately came back to his senses. After thinking briefly, he said. "I do have a method, but it may involve some risks." "I just wonder if Miss Anbing is willing to give it a try?" An Bing: "What method? Please tell me." Xia En didn''t hold back and said directly: "Let''s go directly to [Salary King]." "What?" An Bing couldn''t help being surprised: "What does this mean?" Shane expressed his views straightforwardly. "The simplest method may be the most effective." "Let''s go directly to [King Xin], explain our purpose, and tell him the truth about this space." "If it''s him, he will definitely understand what we mean." "And with the help of [King Xin], it will not be difficult to find the key nodes in the palace." An Bing''s beautiful eyes widened with disbelief on her face. "...Are you crazy?" "The current [King Xin] doesn''t know us at all, so why should he believe what we say?" "If he orders us to be arrested, we may never be able to escape from this historical [Fan Yan City] again." Xia En looked at An Bing seriously and said seriously. "The key now is not whether he will believe us." "But it''s..." "Do you believe [King Xin]?" "Do you believe the man you once loved deeply?" Shane continued: "I believe he will accept my explanation and help us find the node." "So, what about you?" Hearing this question, An Bing fell into a long silence. "You are right. If it were him, it would indeed be possible for him to do such a thing." While saying this, An Bing''s expression gradually changed from blank to determined, no longer wavering or hesitating. After a moment, she said directly: "Let''s go and find [Salary King]!" (End of chapter) Chapter 366 [The Salary King in History] [A Dream De Chapter 366 [The Salary King in History] [A Dream Destined to Wake Up] The process of meeting King Xin was much simpler than the two expected. After making a request to Irina at the door. Irina immediately said: "Okay, I know." "Please wait a moment, the king will arrive soon." Hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment. "He came to see us?" After all, King Xin is also the king of [Great Yan Kingdom]. According to common sense, it would be more appropriate for them to meet each other, right? However, Irina waved her hand indifferently. "Don''t worry, Wang is not a difficult person to get along with." "It''s such a small thing, it doesn''t matter at all." Xia En was stunned for a while. But since Irina said so, they could only wait patiently for the arrival of King Xin. And soon, Xia En and An Bing showed some astonishment. Because, in their perception, the [Fire] that had calmed down before actually reacted again. The temperature on it continues to increase, and the ironing feeling becomes more and more obvious. "this" Just when Xia En realized something keenly. A familiar yet unfamiliar figure, surrounded by a group of people, was already walking towards the side hall. The man was wearing a black and red smart outfit. The base is black, with a little dark red [Fire Pattern] pattern, which serves as a decorative embellishment on the cuffs and collar of this piece of clothing. It makes him stand tall and straight, and he is full of heroic spirit. The whole person is like a long sword unsheathed, showing a somewhat sharp temperament. Just by walking towards the man, he gave people a feeling of hotness and warmth. Like a rising sun, it is full of vitality and sunshine, but it does not make people feel too dazzling. The man''s tall figure and handsome appearance add to his beauty. When anyone sees this person for the first time, they will think that he is a rare and beautiful man, and they will be attracted to him involuntarily. Nearby, other patrolling guards and [Black Flame Walkers] looked at him with admiration and admiration. In this way, the man''s identity will be revealed. He is exactly the salary king created by [Great Yan] in this memory scene! And looking at that face, which had hardly changed much from the future, but looked slightly younger and more immature. Xia En''s mood was somewhat complicated. It has indeed been some time since he and Yan Yan parted ways. In particular, Yan Yan left the [Black Swan] when he broke through the seclusion, so that Xia En was not able to see him off in person. At this time, I saw this King Xin in my memory, even though I knew it was not the real him. Some chaotic thoughts inevitably appeared in Xia En''s mind. As for the side, An Bing''s reaction was even more violent. The moment she saw King Xin, her delicate body couldn''t help but tremble slightly, and extremely complex emotions flashed in her beautiful eyes. Memories that I thought I had forgotten came flooding back to me again. That year, it was not until the wedding that An Bing saw such a handsome King Xin for the first time, and was attracted by his appearance and temperament almost instantly. At that time, An Bing thought to himself, if he was such a man, he would probably be qualified to be her husband, right? Times have changed. When An Bing saw that handsome face again, everything seemed different. Fortunately, An Bing''s rationality defeated his sensibility after all. She also immediately reminded herself that the salary king in front of her was not the real him, and then quickly calmed down. At this time, as King Xin came. The [Fire] in An Bing and Xia En''s arms became even hotter, as if they were about to burst out of the box. Xia En''s mood suddenly felt strange. Obviously, [Fire] changed precisely because of King Xins approach. So, is this phenomenon caused by the unique connection between King Xin and [Fire]? Or should I say... Is King Xin himself the key node in this memory scene? ! If it is the former, it means that both Xia En and the two of them have taken the wrong direction before. But if it''s the latter, the situation will undoubtedly become more difficult and unpredictable. And at this time, Xia En suddenly realized something. So, [Tinder]''s previous reaction was also because of King Xin''s approach? That is to say. When An Bing entered the palace, King Xin was actually hiding in secret to observe them? Shane''s expression was a little strange. But thinking about it, King Xin would inevitably be a little curious about his future fiance. Now, he is not the scheming character he had in the later period of [Great Yan Kingdom], but more like an energetic young man. Isn''t it human nature to take a peek at your fiance to see what she looks like? Don''t know why, after figuring this out. Xia En''s previous uneasiness and apprehension because he was about to face King Xin disappeared inexplicably. If you think about it carefully, it''s probably because - Due to the various legends and deeds on the Seven Seas, coupled with the existence of the [Ember Treasure], the impression of King Xin in his mind has become somewhat deified. But now, he secretly observes his fiance''s behavior, which reflects his human side. Makes you feel Oh, it turns out that King Xin is just a person, not a superior god. Perhaps, the current Xinwang is closer to the sunny and cheerful young Yan Yan that Xia En knew. After thinking about this. Xia En also gained more confidence in the subsequent conversation. at the same time. King Xin waved to the men around him and walked into the side hall alone. His eyes first stayed on Xia En for a moment, and then looked at his fiance An Bing. "I heard you wanted to see me, so I came." I don''t know if it''s Xia En''s misunderstanding, but he feels that the current salary king always feels like he''s being reserved. It seemed a little cramped and a little nervous. Then I thought about it, Wang Xin had never been in love, and he rarely had contact with women of the same age. Maybe I dont know how to deal with women. Not to mention, the person in front of him is his future wife, who will get married tomorrow. In other words, the current salary king may be... shy? "Wang Xin, are you also shy?" Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little funny for no reason, and there was a little teasing in his eyes. "It turns out you have this side, too." Noticing Xia En''s eyes, King Xin was a little confused. Who is this guy? Why are you looking at yourself like this? But by this time, An Bing had calmed down from his turbulent emotions. She said it directly without any hesitation. "King, I have something very important to tell you. Please come with me." With that said, An Bing turned around and walked towards the inside of the side hall. Seeing her serious expression, King Xin was a little curious and confused, but he still quickly followed her without any hesitation. "king?" Seeing this, several [Black Flame Walkers] not far away looked worried. King Xin waved his hands to them: "Don''t worry." "This is the trust I owe to the princess." What surprised King Xin was that Xia En actually walked into the side hall with him. It was just out of politeness that King Xin didn''t say anything directly, but his eyes were inevitably a little strange. When no one was around, King Xin finally couldn''t help but ask. "Miss Anbing, what exactly do you want to say to me?" "And this gentleman, who are you?" By this time, An Bing was too lazy to continue pretending and said. "Captain Shane, since this is the plan you proposed, it''s up to you to execute it." "It''s time to tell him everything." "Captain...plan..." King Xin was obviously confused by these words, but he also maintained basic patience and did not walk away directly. Instead, he looked at Xia En with inquiring eyes. So, Xia En said: "This is what happened." "Actually, we are not from this era at all..." soon. Xia En told King Xin about the arrival of the great flood, the destruction of the [Great Yan] Kingdom, the birth of the undead [Great Yan] and its characteristics, and even his relationship with King Xin. Although during the listening process, King Xin showed surprise several times, and he once wanted to interrupt Xia En''s words. But he still endured it and listened to the end in one breath. "You mean..." "The real [Great Yan Kingdom] is dead, and the world now is just a world created by the memory of the undead [Great Yan]." "This Lady Dark Ice is not my fiance from this era, but Princess [Great Yan] who has been sleeping for thousands of years." "Now, people in the world are working hard to prevent the disaster of the second world-destroying flood, and you are here just to eliminate the [Great Flame]." King Xin couldn''t help but ask: "You discovered that the key node of [Great Flame] is located in the palace, so you thought of sneaking in here, but because the guard was too tight, you could only ask me for help?" After saying such a long string of words in one breath, King Xin''s expression became extremely strange. "Yes yes yes." Shane nodded in response. "This is really... incredible." King Xin had a wry smile on his face. "Even I can''t accept it so quickly." Xia En had expected this and said frankly. "In fact, if it were anyone else, we would never have adopted such a bold and ridiculous plan." "But it''s precisely because of you that we have the confidence to do this." King Xin laughed dumbly: "It seems that you really understand and trust me." "The me in the future, oh no, the me in the real world, will actually become a crew member on a ship, not even the captain." "This kind of thing is really wonderful." King Xin touched his chin and said apologetically. "Actually, I took a sneak peek at you before, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw you, a strange man, next to my fiance." "I didn''t expect...the truth of the matter would be like this." Upon hearing this, Xia En''s eyes suddenly opened wide. "Do you believe what I said?" King Xin nodded: "Although it is hard to believe and I don''t want to believe it, your statement is logically self-consistent." "On the other hand, you all have an aura about you that makes me feel familiar and friendly." "Especially you, Captain Shane. For a moment just now, I even thought you were my... kindred spirit." "similar" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved. Thinking about it, this is probably related to the fact that he absorbed the [Old Daily Fire] given by King Xin, which made him tainted with a similar aura. "Heh, what about me?" At this time, An Bing''s faint voice sounded from the side. Xia En''s body trembled inexplicably. A strange thought came to his mind. "Your Highness, the princess, is she jealous?" "What? Are you jealous of men too?" Thinking about it, King Xin seemed a little awkward because of his presence just now. All I can say is, are they really worthy of being a couple? However, at this time, King Xin obviously did not notice the abnormality in An Bing''s tone and continued. "Actually, there is another important reason why I believe what you say." "Occasionally, I have some weird dreams." "For example... a huge flood that comes from nowhere, for example, a town that is frozen into a glacier." "Another example...a crew member wearing a weird navy uniform came to me, but when I looked closely, I saw that it was just a ghost that had long since died." "I even dreamed of a fire that burned down the entire [Great Flame]." "The fire that fills the sky seems to burn everything..." Having said this, King Xin''s expression has become extremely serious and serious. "Those dreams were extremely real, as if they had really happened." "For a while, I even had a bold guess" "I feel like the whole world is in a never-ending cycle." Every once in a while, theres a reset. "And now, after listening to what you said, I can confirm that my guess is correct!" "As for those disaster scenes, they are probably the most profound and unforgettable memories for the people of Dayan, right?" Upon hearing this, both Xia En fell into silence. At this time, even Xia En couldn''t help but feel strong admiration in his heart. As a character created in this memory scene, King Xin was still keenly aware of the abnormalities that were ignored by others. Just like everyone is drunk, I am alone awake. Even more admirable. He is clearly in this prosperous city with flowers, but he is willing to believe that... the future is a miserable future in which [Great Yan Kingdom] is destroyed and even becomes an undead spirit. This is actually very valuable. Some people would rather indulge in wonderful illusions than face the painful reality. -You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. This is a normal escape mentality for many people. But King Xin was willing to believe what Xia En said, break away from this beautiful memory, and face the tragic facts. Perhaps, this is where Xin Wangs personality charm lies? Even though they only got along for a while, Xia En had some understanding. Why, King Xin can become the greatest king after Augustine! What King Xin said next shocked the two of them again. "If I''m not wrong..." "The reason why I can dream about those scenes is because I... am the undead [Great Flame] node you are looking for." "Then please eliminate me now." (End of chapter) Chapter 367 [Point to destroy] [Battle with the lege Chapter 367 [Point Destruction] [Battle with Legend! King Xin''s words caused both Xia En and Xia En to fall into silence. Although Xia En had vaguely guessed that King Xin was the node they were looking for. But he didn''t expect that King Xin not only noticed this, but also took the initiative to speak out about it. Isn''t this equivalent to asking Xia En and the others to "kill" him? Seeing the expressions of the two of them, King Xin smiled slightly. "It seems that your relationship with me in the real world is really deep..." "You should also know that the me here is just a shadow created by [Great Yan]." "Even this whole world is just a dream that keeps repeating itself." "In this case, now is the time to wake up from the dream." There was a touch of tenderness and relief in King Xin''s eyes. "However, for you, this is just the beginning." "So please do it as soon as possible." Now that King Xin has said so, Xia En has no reason to continue to be indecisive. So, he took out [Fire] from his arms. Just when he was about to activate it, An Bing beside him suddenly spoke. "Let me do this kind of thing." When he said this, An Bing''s eyes became determined again, no longer confused and hesitant. She took [Fire] and walked up to King Xin. At this moment, King Xin blinked and said. "Actually, I have one last question." "Ms. An Bing, I always feel that the way you look at me seems complicated. May I ask...why is this?" "Is it because our relationship was not good after we got married?" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little nervous. These questions are undoubtedly a minefield for An Bing and may trigger her emotions at any time. However, An Bing''s reaction surprised Xia Endun. She just looked at the young King Xin calmly and asked. "What do you think?" "What do you think...our relationship will be like after we get married?" King Xin thought for a moment and said. "I think our relationship shouldn''t be bad?" "Although it is a marriage, I have already made up my mind -" "No matter who becomes my wife, I will treat her well and make her happy." "but" King Xin looked at An Bing''s expression and sighed regretfully. "My future self seems to be unable to do it..." "No, actually you did." An Bing shook his head and said calmly: "I did fall in love with you, but I hate you to the core because of it." "is that so?" An apology appeared on King Xin''s face: "Anyway, I may have done something wrong. Please let me apologize to you for my future self." An Bing looked at King Xin''s face carefully, as if he wanted to imprint this young face in his mind. Then, she activated the [Fire] in her hand and whispered to herself at the same time. "But even if you give me another chance, I will still marry you..." The next moment. [Fire] shines brightly. The small flame before suddenly turned into a ball of fire. It burned blazingly and resonated with the King Xin in front of him. Buzz In the resonance of the secret power, King Xin''s body changed rapidly. In an instant, he transformed into a fiery, bright human form. Immediately, the flames merged into the [Fire] in An Bing''s hand like flowing water, making it grow stronger. During this process, the entire aura of [Fire] faintly experienced some kind of sublimation. It was as if it had come alive and had a life of its own. "This is?" For this change, both Xia En and An Bing were unexpected. It is not so much that [Fire] destroyed the key node of "Xinwang". It would be better to say that [Fire] absorbed and assimilated him! However, they did not wait for the two to think deeply about the reasons behind this. The world around them suddenly changed! Click...click... There seemed to be countless shattering sounds in the air. Xia En clearly felt that the surrounding space began to become unstable. Like a broken porcelain bottle. at the same time. All the things around him, such as the tall and magnificent palaces, the complicated dark red fire patterns, and the dark green palace walls, began to fade. There were even some distorted lights and shadows appearing in the corners of Xia En''s sight. Upon seeing this, Xia En immediately came to his senses - This world is about to collapse! This Fanyan City was originally a fictional existence created by [Great Yan]. At this time, King Xin, who was a node, was absorbed by [Fire], and the entire memory lost its core anchor point, thus losing its meaning of existence, and naturally could no longer be maintained. And look at the things that are fading in those corners. Warning signs kept coming from Shane''s gut. He had a hunch that if he was caught in those distorted lights and shadows, something bad would definitely happen. Xia En said to An Bing beside him without hesitation. "Let''s go!" "I know a relatively safe place where I can avoid the aftermath of the memory space collapse." After saying that, he used full speed and rushed out of the side hall first. An Bing knew that the situation was urgent and did not ask any questions. He just followed Xia En decisively. I rushed out of the side hall to take a look. This space collapsed faster than Shane expected. Cracks appeared one after another in the sky high up, and the earth began to shake violently, and the ground continued to crack. Houses not far away are collapsing in pieces. Such a scene is like a scene of annihilation when the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart. This naturally caused large-scale chaos among the people in Fanyan City. "Oh my God! What happened?" "Why is the sky cracked? Is the end of the world coming?" "What the **** is going on?" Exclaims, screams, and questions came one after another. Even the well-trained soldiers and [Black Flame Walkers] inside the palace could not help but show expressions of shock and fear. However, this kind of chaos also attracted most of the attention for Xia En and the two of them. So much so that only Irina and a few [Black Flame Walkers] discovered their whereabouts. "Hey, Miss Anbing, where are you going?" And soon, Irina reacted. "By the way, Wang...where is King Xin?" With such a big change happening, King Xin should have stepped forward immediately to stabilize the situation. Why is it missing now? However, no one can answer Irinas question. In the midst of the chaos, Xia En and the two men rushed out of the palace the way they came. The reason why they don''t fly is because they are too conspicuous in the air and can easily become the target of public criticism and cause unnecessary trouble. Even so, the two encountered unexpected obstacles. Not far away. The body of a [Black Flame Walker] was affected by some kind of power, and the entire body continued to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming pale and dim. He murmured. "So... I was already dead?" "Fake, all this is fake..." in his murmur. The man''s body suddenly burned with black flames, and his face became hideous and hateful. Black blood and tears dripped from his eyes, as if he had turned into a pitch-black charred corpse, completely losing the breath of the living. Immediately, he turned his stiff head. He looked at Xia En and the two men not far away with his empty eyes, and murmured hoarsely and with malice in his mouth. "Destroy...clear out...the outsiders." "Everything...for [Great Yan]..." Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. He quickly thought of the reason for this change. Rather than saying that this [Black Flame Walker] became undead, it would be better to say that he just returned to his proper appearance. The real citizens of [Great Yan] have already died in the disasters of the past. The people wandering in this city are just souls who do not want to sleep forever. At this moment, as the memory space collapsed and they lost the modification in their memory and their understanding of themselves, they naturally returned to the form of the undead. And because of [Great Flame]''s hostility towards outsiders, these undead would naturally attack Xia En and the other two. Want to eliminate them completely. Thinking of this, Xia En pulled out a long sword from the shadow without thinking. And he suddenly increased his speed and rushed forward. A snort! I saw the dark sword light flashing in the air. The undead spirit blocking Xia En and the two men was split into two. However, even if it is cut off in the middle. The undead body that fell to the ground was still squirming. The body gradually shrinks towards the center, and seems to have a tendency to rejoin. Shane wasn''t surprised. To be precise, these undead are just part of [Great Flame]. As long as [Great Flame] is not destroyed, these undead will not really die. Fortunately, Xia En''s purpose was not to kill the enemy. After incapacitating the undead, they quickly passed through the area and rushed outside the palace. But then, more and more residents in the city began to realize the truth that they had died long ago. One by one, they turned into hateful-looking undead and surrounded Xia En and the two. Moreover, according to this trend, the people of the entire city will be transformed into such undead. Just imagining that scene made Xia En''s scalp numb. After leaving the palace, what Xia En saw was shocking. At this time, Fanyan City has completely lost its previous bustling scene and has become a mess. Ordinary people who have not yet woken up and are running around. The undead that screams in pain, is terrifying and weird. And crumbling houses, faded skies. Everything seemed extremely chaotic and miserable. Its hard to imagine that not long ago, this place was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. Not long after. A group of undead locked the position of Xia En and the two of them and surrounded them from all directions. Facing the tide of undead. Dark Ice no longer held back, and a burst of cold air poured out, freezing large swaths of undead into ice sculptures. Her freezing ability is more effective than Shane''s when facing such an unkillable enemy. "here you go." Xia En split the undead in front of him with a sword, and his body rushed forward like a cannonball. Relying on his extremely strong physical fitness, he is like a rampaging chariot in the city, and almost nothing can stop the power of his collision. In the blink of an eye, a large open space was cleared. At this time, after estimating the distance to the door, Xia En''s eyes flashed with joy. "Come on, we should be there after crossing two streets." However, just when Xia En was about to rush to the destination in one go. In their perception, an extremely powerful aura was rapidly approaching them. "No! This is..." An Bing''s expression also changed. In an instant. A black shadow fell from a height at an incredible speed and landed on the block in front of the two of them. boom! ! Along with the smoke and dust rising from the ground, the earth was constantly shaking. Almost the entire neighborhood was reduced to rubble by the force of the smash. Then, a tall and majestic figure gradually emerged from the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed. Surprisingly. This man is not quite the same as those undead souls who have completely turned into charred corpses. He was wearing a worn and bloodstained armor, and he was holding a two-meter-long spear in his hand, as if he had just stepped off the battlefield. Only half of the man''s face was transformed into an undead, while the other half still maintained its original appearance. It looks extremely weird. And the moment I saw this man. Xia En only felt a murderous aura coming towards his face, as if it was going to freeze his soul! That kind of murderous intent can only be cultivated on a battlefield like a meat grinder. Under that big gun, I don''t know how many enemy souls were taken away. "General Hanno..." After seeing this person, An Bing''s expression also changed. She introduced Xia En as briefly as possible. "This general is the commander of the [Great Yan Imperial Guard] and the general who has fought the most battles in the [Great Yan Kingdom]." "It is said that before he came to [the Far North], he was a general of a kingdom." "It seems that because he killed too much, he was disliked by the king, so he was exiled to the [Far North]." "But here, King Xin accepted him, and after several battles, his realm was upgraded to a seventh-level legend!" No need for dark ice reminders. Xia En also knew the other party''s legendary identity. Because at this time, just facing General Hannuo, Xia En felt a suffocating sense of oppression. Ordinary secret seekers would probably not be able to resist in front of him. Hannuo''s eyes swept across Xia En and the two coldly. Although he still maintained half of his human form, there was no rationality in his eyes, only overwhelming hostility and murderous intent. "Those who invade the Great Flame will die!" After saying that, Hanno didn''t have any intention of negotiating and rushed towards Xia En with a big gun. The sense of crisis in his gut reached its extreme at this moment. It was the first time for even Xia En to face the murderous intention of a legendary powerhouse like this. That murderous intent seemed to invade Xia En''s mind, causing him to lose his mind and lose his ability to resist. But the more desperate the situation, the calmer Xia En''s thoughts became. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. What about legends? After being promoted to [Secret Keeper] and going through several promotions, he may not be incapable of fighting against the legend. [Big Dark Sky] is activated immediately. The secret power and strength in the body are all pushed to the extreme at this moment. All the complicated moves were reduced to simplicity, turning into the most unpretentious blow. Xia En didn''t dodge, and directly faced Han Nuo''s spear! (End of chapter) Chapter 368 【Behead the legend! 】 Chapter 368 [Kill the legend! clang- This is a collision without any fancy, moisture or skill. The sound waves formed by the vibrations echoed far away and did not subside for a long time. The terrifying air wave expanded with the two of them as the center. The nearby neighborhoods that were already in danger collapsed directly under the aftermath. There were even some slight cracks in the surrounding space. This memory space is already on the verge of collapse, so it is naturally unable to withstand this legendary level of power collision. Hanno''s body paused slightly. The remaining half of the face showed a little surprise, but then the surprise was replaced by a fanatical fighting spirit. He shouted loudly. "kill!!" Then, the half-human, half-undead body swept in like a storm again. Xia En''s eyes were also full of fighting spirit. After the previous confrontation, he also initially judged - Although the General Hannuo in front of him was in the legendary realm, there was a big gap between him and him during his lifetime. No matter what, he is just an undead soul who should have died long ago. [Da Yan] With the help of memory reappearance, there will definitely be some kind of deviation. Because of this, Xia En could temporarily be evenly matched with him, so that this battle would not become a one-sided crushing. This battle still needs to be fought! However, even so, Hannuo is a truly legendary strongman, and his strength and sense of oppression can only be described as terrifying. The collision just now caused the blood and energy in Xia En''s body to surge, leaving some hidden injuries in his muscles and bones. What makes Xia En feel a little more difficult is that. There is still a strange gray-black secret power lingering around the undead Hannuo. This secret power is somewhat similar to Xia En''s Great Dark Sky, like armor formed by a highly concentrated field. However, compared with the Great Dark Sky, the nature of this power gives people a feeling of death and withering. And it seems to have gone beyond the scope of the field and reached a higher level. Enlightenment arose in Xia En''s heart. "Could it be...that this is the [Power of Law] of the legendary strongman?" From Xia En''s understanding of the legendary realm, he broke through to the seventh level. Those who follow the secret path will be able to master one. Unique laws. For example, fire, ice, space, time...even everything in the world. It''s obvious. Different laws also have strengths and weaknesses. It can be said that the law chosen when breaking through the legend determines the upper and lower limits of the strength of the legendary mystic. Of course, even ordinary things will become extremely mysterious after being sublimated into laws. Like the effect of the Law of Fire, it may burn any existence unconditionally. It is more like the incarnation of a rule than an ordinary flame. This is also where the name Law comes from. It is also the reason why the strength of the legendary strongman is far higher than the sixth level. Rather than saying that you obtained the [Power of Law] after being promoted to Legend, it is better to say that it is precisely because you have the [Power of Law] that you can be called a legend! And right now, Undead Hanno''s [Power of Law] seems to be related to death! Just then. Lines of information flashed across Xia En''s eyes. Dead Silence Field [Description: The field of fame of General Hanno is the embodiment of the "Law of Death" he mastered, and through the distortion of the undead [Great Flame], it has become closer to death. [When in the field, Hanno''s attacks will have a certain probability of instant death and will continue to weaken the target''s fighting spirit and vitality. [For those who are fearful and have weak willpower, the probability of death is doubled. [However, the transformation of [Great Flame] not only enhanced his understanding of death, but also caused a contradiction between the laws. Maybe it will become its flaw? Immediate death? Seeing these descriptions, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. Immediate death means immediate death. In the game, it usually refers to an attack method that directly kills the enemy regardless of any status such as defense and blood volume. And when this ability appeared in reality, even Xia En was a little creepy. No matter how small the probability of instant death is, as long as the effect is triggered, you will die directly without defense. It''s like the announcement of death! Compare with that. The other negative effects of [Dead Silence Field] seem insignificant. There is still such a bug? Xia En looked solemn. But considering that it is the [Power of Law] of a legendary strongman, it seems normal. And after learning this information. Xia En also quickly understood that this battle must be fought quickly. Not to mention the other undead that are approaching around him. If you are unlucky and hit an instant death attack, everything will be over. "Wait, this information is..." Suddenly, Xia En reacted belatedly. Before this, he did not have the ability to see through the functions of other people''s fields. Obviously, this is the contribution of the [Peeping Eye of Secrets]. After being promoted to [Secret Keeper], the effect of [Secret Peeping Eye] has also been upgraded. Only then can we see through the essence of Hanno''s domain. And this also opened up a new way of thinking for Xia En. The current [Secret Peeping Eye] is no longer just a means to explore the [Secret Realm] and improve strength. It can even be used directly in battle to peek into the enemy''s secrets and see through their weaknesses and flaws. Perhaps, this is the real use of [Peeping Eye of Secrets]! Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes flashed with a faint light, and he stared at the undead Hanno in front of him with all his attention. In his field of vision, the path and direction of the flow of secret power gradually emerged. These secret powers also clearly displayed Hannuo''s next action trajectory in front of Xia En. "I have completely seen through your actions!" All this sounds like a long time, but actually it happens in just one second. The next moment. Terrible winds swept in, accompanied by the smell of blood. Hannuo carried the big gun that had accompanied him in battles for many years and headed towards Xia En''s door. As fast as a shooting star! But this time, Xia En no longer faced the attack head-on, but turned slightly to the side, seemingly narrowly avoiding the sharp edge of the big gun. Immediately, a palm hit the spear. On the barrel of the gun. "Bang" sound. Hanno''s body trembled and he stepped back a short distance, but still held the spear firmly in his hand. "Um?" When he raised his head again, Hanno''s eyes flashed with confusion. The fighting instinct remaining in his body told him that something seemed wrong. However, the real Hanno is dead after all. As an undead, he lacks the rationality and combat wisdom he had during his lifetime. After only a brief hesitation, Hanno rushed forward with his gun again. Immediately afterwards, there was a fierce attack like a gust of wind and rain. Bang! Bang! Bang! Hannuo deserves to be a legendary strongman. Every move can cause great destructive power. Under the sweep of the spear, the block beneath his feet was razed to the ground in an instant. With a casual poke, a large crater can be carved into the ground, just like the impact of a meteorite. As for the undead who were unfortunate enough to be affected by the battle, they were even more shattered. Just the fight between him and Xia En seemed to destroy half of the city. However. Looking at the two people on the battlefield, An Bing, who was secretly observing, couldn''t help but look shocked, and was shocked in his heart. Because, facing such a terrifying offensive. Shane was like a gorgeous dancer, dancing on the wire and the tip of the knife, dodging Hanno''s attacks again and again. Although every dodge looked extremely dangerous, Hanno just couldn''t hit his vital point. It''s always just a little bit off. Instead, in the process, some wounds gradually appeared on Hanno''s body. Cracks appeared again on the already broken armor. It''s a pity that Hanno, as the undead created by [Great Flame], is almost impossible to kill. Those wounds also healed quickly during the battle. Despite this, An Bing was still shocked beyond measure. You know, this is a battle with a sixth-level body against a legend! For a normal sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, if he was not killed instantly when facing Hannuo, he was already considered to be quite powerful. The situation in which Xia En was fighting against each other could only be described as unbelievable. Looking at the entire Seven Seas world, I''m afraid no one can do it. However, An Bing''s mood did not relax much. Because even if Xia En is already considered a genius and can fight against legends at the sixth level, he is still far away from truly killing the undead Hannuo. And all around, the collapse of the entire space is intensifying. There are also several auras that are not weaker than Hanno''s that are approaching. No matter how you look at it, this is a desperate situation within a desperate situation. "We can''t delay it any longer!" At this time, Xia En also had similar thoughts in his mind. "What''s the key to winning with one blow?" Xia En noticed a sentence in [The Eye of Peeping Secrets] - The shaping of [Great Flame] brings about the contradiction of [Law of Death]... Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. Yes, [Great Yan], as an undead, already has an understanding of the [Law of Death]. However, its understanding of the [Law of Death] is definitely different from General Hanno''s. It''s like, different people have different views on the same thing. There are also contradictions in the two''s understanding of the "Law of Death". But Hanno is an existence shaped by the [Great Flame], and the [Power of Law] he masters is bound to be affected by the [Great Flame]. As long as you can find the contradictory node. Maybe...it can fundamentally destroy Hanno''s existence! Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes glowed. The effect of [Eye of Peeping Secrets] is pushed to the extreme. Countless points and line segments appeared in his eyes, constantly twisting and changing, appearing complex and grotesque. It''s like a bizarre dream. Among them, some are Hannos own secret powers; Some of them belong to the aura of [Great Flame]; There are also cracks caused by the collapse of this memory space... It seems impossible to find the key point in this scene. And this time. Xia En suddenly remembered the [Great Law] he witnessed when he was promoted to the sixth level. At that time, he also vaguely saw the deepest secrets in the trajectories of countless stars and [Secret Realm]. This situation is inexplicably similar to that of that time. Thinking of this, Xia En dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind, ignored the lines and light spots floating on the surface, and looked towards the deepest and most original place of Hanno. Gradually. Shane''s entire field of vision became clear and empty. Those complicated and trivial lines have all disappeared. Only a few lines are still eye-catching. The remaining lines all carry extremely strong colors and atmosphere, as if they are engraved in this space and will not change due to changes in external objects. Xia En had an inexplicable intuition in his heart. Those special lines are most likely the so-called [Power of Law]. If you call it in a more fantasy way. Maybe call them [Daohen! That is, the traces of the road. And the reason why they appear so clear and stable is most likely because... They are the basic laws that make up this world! Naturally, it will not be easily shaken. Shane even had a feeling. These [powers of law] may be directly imprinted on the [great law]. Every [secret realm] in the entire secret sea must follow this basic rule. Feelings of wonder and awe flashed through Xia En''s heart. He knew that what was more important now was to find a way to defeat Hanno! After some searching. Xia En soon saw that among those lines, there were two gray and black lines that were similar but different. Unlike other lines, the colors of the two are very similar, but they also have a completely different atmosphere. They seem to be opposite each other, but they are intertwined with each other. The moment he saw them, Xia En was sure This is the [Law of Death] he is looking for! And where the two line segments intersect, there is an intersection point. Emitting a dim light in the dark. That intersection is at the point of contradiction between the two, so it is much weaker than the real [Law]. Without thinking, Xia En''s eyes burst out with light, and his body was like a black stream of light, approaching Hanno. Seeing this, Undead Hannuo''s eyes flashed with disdain. He knew very well that here, his body was almost immortal, and even if he stood and let Xia En kill him, he might not be able to kill him. Therefore, he chose the simplest and crudest tactic - Trade injury for life! Hannuo ignored Xia En''s punch and opened the door wide. At the same time, he raised his spear and stabbed him in the chest. Naturally, Xia En would not miss such an opportunity. The power that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded at this moment, slamming into the intersection he saw in his field of vision. It wasn''t until this moment that Hanno noticed a fatal sense of crisis. But by this time, it was already too late. Just when Xia En''s fist hit the "intersection point", the spear in his hand had already stabbed Xia En''s body. boom! After a loud noise, everything around them became still, and the bodies of Hanno and Xia En still stood in place. However, many small cracks appeared on his body surface, as if he was about to collapse. In this final moment, Hanno regained a little bit of his former humanity. The half of the person asked with a little surprise on his face. "What do you see with your eyes?" Xia En thought for a while and said: "The essence of [Law]." Hearing this, Hannuo''s eyes showed a hint of surprise and appreciation. "The young people of this era are indeed extraordinary." "However, I want to remind you." "The truth you are looking for may only bring you despair..." (End of chapter) Chapter 369 [Law of Death]; Communication with Colon Chapter 369 [Law of Death]; Communication with Colonel Gold "Take it, this is my last gift." As he spoke, Hannuo raised his finger slightly and tapped Xia En''s eyebrows lightly. There was a vague cold force entering Xia En''s body and lurking there. A prompt flashed before Xia En''s eyes. [You have received the gift of the remnant soul of Hanno. [You have a preliminary understanding of the law of death. Um? [Law of Death]? Seeing the prompt, a flash of shock flashed in Xia En''s eyes. But before he could say anything, Hannuo''s body in front of him quickly shattered like porcelain. Turned into pale ashes. Seeing this, An Bing not far away opened his beautiful eyes again. Captain Shane...won? Xia En actually defeated the legendary undead Hanno in a head-on battle and completely killed him! ? On the Seven Seas, there has never been a case where a non-legendary mystic defeated a legend. Not even once. But now, Xia En has accomplished this unprecedented feat. How could this not surprise An Bing? However, An Bing is also very aware of the urgency of the current situation. She immediately came to Xia An: "Captain Xia En, are you okay?" "Ahem...I''m fine." Xia En coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked a little sluggish, but he was not in fear of his life. At the critical moment just now. He and Hannuo unanimously chose to trade injuries for lives. Hanno relied on the immortality of the undead. But Xia En is wearing this modified [Black Flame Robe]. As Moritz said, this robe does have the defensive power to withstand an attack from a legendary strongman. This allowed him to block one of Hanno''s attacks. However, the robe was also damaged, and the secret power on it was greatly weakened. Moreover, Xia En, who suffered a heavy blow, was not unscathed. The secret power in his body was rampant, causing serious hidden injuries. But with Xia En''s self-healing power, this is not a big problem. Although he was quite curious about the words that flashed in the [Eye of Peeping Secrets], Xia En also knew that now was not the time to delve into this. After taking a breather. The two of them immediately ran towards the cabin door. Thanks to Hannuo''s wide-ranging attacks, most of the nearby undead were wiped out. This allowed the two of them to arrive not far from the hatch door without any hindrance. But that''s about it. The surrounding air seemed to be suddenly frozen, becoming thick and heavy. Immediately afterwards. Several auras, not much weaker than Hannuo, suddenly descended near Xia En and the two of them. "Damn it!" Suddenly, Xia En''s face became extremely ugly. He raised his head, and the figures of those legendary undead figures had already appeared in his sight. The aura of each figure is extremely terrifying. The position of the two of them was locked like the weight of a mountain. It was like real pressure, making it difficult for their bodies to move forward even half a step. At this time, the distance between Xia En and the door was less than ten meters. But this ten meters was like a natural chasm, blocking them in front of them. It''s despairing. "how so?" An Bing''s mood couldn''t help but hit rock bottom. They clearly successfully infiltrated the Great Yan Palace, destroyed the node "King Xin", and even defeated Hannuo, an undead in the legendary realm. I went to get stopped here. It''s only one step away from leaving safely. This situation really made her feel unwilling. At this time, the legendary undead had no intention of communicating with them, and directly launched a fatal offensive towards the two of them. They may come directly like ghosts. Or he slapped the two of them from afar, and terrifying air waves rolled in. What made Xia En''s hair stand on end was the black light emanating from the eyes of one of the undead. That black light carried the dangerous aura of annihilation. Not to mention the injured Xia En, even in his prime, he might not be able to safely receive this black light. And the target of that black light was surprisingly An Bing beside Xia En! Even when Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little despair in his heart. suddenly. The [Fire] in An Bing''s hand once again bloomed brightly and dazzlingly. The blazing flames rose up, expanding and changing. In the blink of an eye, a flame giant formed, standing in front of Xia En and the other two. The face of that giant turned out to be the Xinwang who had been absorbed by [Fire] earlier! "salary?" An Bing called out his name in surprise. But the flame giant looked at her with shame and nostalgia, with inexplicable tenderness. This kind of look does not seem to be the emotion that the salary king in history would show. An Bing also seemed to suddenly notice something. His eyes widened and he looked at the flame giant with an extremely complicated expression on his face. "Let me protect you one more time." After saying this, the flame giant turned around and faced the extinct black light. As soon as he raised his hand, the raging flames swallowed up the menacing black light without causing any waves in the body. When looking at the undead in the legendary realm, the tenderness on the face of the Giant King disappeared in an instant. Instead, there is the majesty and intimidating demeanor of a king. He shouted in a questioning tone. "Since you see me coming, why don''t you worship me?" In an instant. Those tyrannical legendary undead could not help but show a mixture of fear and fear. That is the awe and worship engraved deep in their souls. Even if he has died long ago, this awe will not disappear with him. The next moment. The undead fell to their knees one after another, pressing their foreheads to the ground and letting out inarticulate sobs. This is an expression of one''s own repentance and surrender. Not just the undead nearby, but also the ordinary undead like waves further away. They all knelt down in darkness. It can be said that the entire Fanyan City knelt down in front of King Xin like this. This scene was so spectacular that it deeply shocked Xia En''s heart. It turns out that this is what a salary king should look like. This is the reason why he is called a king! at the same time. The terrible pressure lingering around Xia En and the two of them disappeared, allowing them to regain their ability to move. Xia En looked at An Bing beside him: "Ms. An Bing, it''s time for us to leave." [Tinder] The appearance of the middle-salary king broke the dilemma in front of them. However, the collapse of the entire memory space did not stop. And soon, it will spread to their area. on the other hand. This [Fire] is not the real salary king after all. Its power is actually still fading, and it obviously has a time limit. If you don''t leave, I''m afraid it will be too late! Dark Bing was obviously aware of this, after taking a deep look at the flame giant with his back to them. An Bing and Xia En walked into the wooden door that stood in place. "Bang" sound. The door was closed. The broken Fanyan City and the undead were shut out of the room by them. Inside the door is still a dark and decaying cabin, but it looks particularly reassuring. It wasn''t until he walked in here that Xia En''s high-spirited heart finally relaxed and he said softly. "We''re safe, for now." An Bing''s expression was still very complicated. She looked at the wooden box that originally contained [Fire] in her hand. At this time, the wooden box was empty, with only the residual temperature proving that a [Fire] had been placed inside. An Bing couldn''t help but ask. "Just now, what was that..." After thinking about it, Xia En guessed. "These [fire seeds] are essentially equivalent to a ray of incarnation of King Xin, and may be vaguely connected to his true body." "Just now, that [Fire] absorbed the secret power of King Xin who reappeared from [Great Flame], so it could temporarily burst out with that kind of power, right?" "As for its triggering conditions, I''m afraid it''s because of... the danger to your life you encountered at that time." Hearing this, An Bing couldn''t help but fell silent. "To...protect me?" Her mood at the moment was obviously extremely complicated. However, after all, this is a relationship issue between the couple, and there is no need for an outsider like Xia En to meddle in their own business. He simply ignored the dark ice around him, and while healing his wounds, he opened the panel to view the gifts given by the previously undead Hannuo before his death. Law of Death [Type: Power of Law] [Quality: Elementary] [Description: Hanno gradually gained his own understanding of death during his battles. [In order to bring death to his enemies equally, Hanno chose to use death as the rule for promotion to legend. [Because you have glimpsed the essence of the law, and coupled with the gift of the undead Hanno, you can use the power of this law in a superficial form. [Death is the end of all life...] After reading the description, Xia En felt strange. [Power of Law], is it something that can be given away? After thinking about it carefully, Xia En felt that it was not that simple. Strictly speaking, [The Power of Law] itself is not a secret power, but more like a kind of perception. Hannuo''s original intention may just be to convey this sentiment to Xia En. It''s a bit similar to the inheritance in Xianxia novels. It''s just because Xia En has the special ability of [Eye of Peeping Secrets], and even witnessed the existence of [Great Law], and directly solidified this understanding into [Power of Law], he can directly use it. However, the panel also made it clear that Xia En was only using this rule superficially. To truly unleash the power of the Law of Death, in-depth research or understanding is required. even so. Being able to master a [Power of Law] at the sixth level is already something that many secret practitioners dare not even think about. Perhaps in this operation, this ability can also work wonders. After a short rest. Xia En''s injuries have basically recovered, and An Bing''s mood has stabilized again. "I don''t know what''s going on with the others." Shane sighed softly. Although a node of [Great Flame] was eliminated, his mood did not relax much. Not to mention that there are still four nodes left. Just solving this node put them in danger several times. In the end, if it weren''t for the [Fire] mid-salary king''s remaining will to inspire them, they might have been in dire straits. And even Xia En and the two of them are in such danger. Not to mention, other members of the action. What Xia En is most worried about is the few people he knows well. Even Carles and Jane may die at any time inside [Great Flame]. However, in this dispersed situation, there is no use worrying. All Xia En can do is to eliminate the remaining nodes as quickly as possible and destroy the undead [Great Flame]. "Dip...dip!" Suddenly this time. The communicator in Xia En''s hand suddenly responded. However, the communicator displayed an unfamiliar communication frequency band. Xia En hesitated for a moment and then connected the communication. "Ahem...hey, is anyone listening?" The voice coming out of the communicator was equally unfamiliar. It was the voice of a middle-aged man. Xia En''s expression suddenly changed slightly. Even though he was not familiar with the remaining members of the operation, he had at least heard their voices. It was natural to tell that the man making the call was not a member of the action team. So, inside this undead [Great Flame], who can talk to them with the help of a communicator? As if sensing Xia En''s vigilance, the man''s explanation quickly came from the communicator. "I am the captain of the [King], Gord." "I just suddenly received the communicator frequency band from the military, so I took the liberty to connect it." "Excuse me, who are you? [King] Captain Gord? Upon hearing this, Xia En was suddenly shocked. I didn''t expect that the man who accessed the communication band would be him! And this also confirmed Carles and Moritz''s conjecture. Gord actually persisted in [Great Flame] for such a long time! Xia En has truly sensed the danger inside [Great Flame]. And the fact that Gord can do this cannot be explained by luck. Thinking of this, Xia En didn''t hesitate and spoke immediately. "We are infiltration members sent by the federal military, and we are here to eliminate [Great Flame]." "Infiltrate operation?" Gord murmured: "It is indeed a wise choice." "It is almost impossible to confront [Great Flame] head-on." "It seems...the information I delivered last time has worked." Shane asked again. "Colonel Gold, how is the situation over there?" Hearing this, Gord''s slightly weak wry smile came from the communicator. "Our situation is naturally not very good." "The entire crew of the [King] is down to ten. Even if we carry a space device to store supplies, food and drinking water are almost running out." "Compared to these, the worst thing is actually the morale of the soldiers." "Many soldiers feel that the federal military has given up on us." "Without rescue and the inability to escape from the body of the undead [Great Flame], morale is extremely low. There have even been several suicides." "However, your arrival is undoubtedly good news, and I will inform them of this." "By the way, how many members of your infiltration operation...are there in total? Xia En hesitated for a moment and then said. "There are only ten people in total." "Ten people." Colonel Gold seemed a little stunned and said after a moment of silence. "That''s right. Without arousing [Da Yan]''s vigilance, this is already the upper limit of the number of people, right?" Shane explained. "Although there are only ten people, those who participated in the operation are all the elites of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "Your daughter Carles is among them." (End of chapter) Chapter 370 [Xifeng Plateau] [Where the ancient drag Chapter 370 [Westwind Plateau] [Where the Ancient Dragon is Buried] "Carles?" "Is she really here too?" Although Gord''s tone was a bit complicated regarding Carles'' arrival, he was not surprised. After all, it was his daughter. Gord knew very well, what would Carles do in this situation? However, not so long ago, his daughter was not a daughter. suddenly. Gold noticed something in Shane''s tone and asked. "Are you... the Captain Shane whom Carles mentioned?" Xia En admitted frankly: "It''s me." Gord''s tone couldn''t help but be a little surprised: "I didn''t expect it to be such a coincidence." "Furthermore, Captain Shane, if you can join the infiltration operation, you are probably already a sixth-level Mystic, right?" "This kind of promotion speed... is really scary." Gold naturally heard about Shane''s original realm from Carles. It didn''t take long for him to advance to the sixth level. Even from the perspective of Gord, a legendary strongman, this is already a genius among geniuses. However, what would Gold think if he knew that Shane had defeated a legendary undead just before? "rustle" At this moment, some noise came from the communicator. Gord''s voice immediately turned serious. "The signal of the internal communicator in [Great Yan] is unstable and may be disconnected at any time." "I''ll keep the story short and tell you the intelligence we have collected recently." "You should know that there are these five nodes inside [Great Flame]." "After sacrificing several reconnaissance soldiers, we can determine that these five nodes are located in 5 different memory scenes." "The first scene, and the easiest scene to enter, is Fanyan City in the Great Yan Kingdom." "In this scene, the level of danger alone is not high, but the node seems to be located deep in the palace and is under layers of protection. It is not easy to eliminate him." "It''s best to explore this scene after meeting up with other companions." "Well" Xia En hesitated for a moment and then said. "Actually, we just destroyed the node of that memory scene." "ah?" Hearing this, even Colonel Gold couldn''t help but be stunned. "Have you rejoined the other members of the operation?" Shane replied: "No, not counting the other companion, there are only two of us." "It seems that I still underestimated you, Captain Shane." Shocked, Gord didn''t think Shane would lie about this kind of thing, so he continued. "As for the second memory scene, it seems to be on an uninhabited ice field." "But what seems to be hidden beneath that ice sheet?" Ice fieldsunderground Xia En''s expression immediately changed slightly, and he thought of the underground research institute that An Bing had mentioned. Could it be said that another node is hidden in that research institute? Moreover, since the node of Fanyan City scene is King Xin. So, will similar situations occur in other memory scenes? More importantly. In different memory fragments, King Xin may have different attitudes towards them. "Sha...the third node is...sha..." At this time, the noise in the communicator became more and more obvious, and Gord also speeded up his speech. "It is suspected to be the ruins after the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom." "That memory scene was full of wandering undead. The danger was extremely high, and the information sent back by the soldiers was extremely limited." "Currently, we have determined the memory scenes where these three nodes are located." "What about you? Have you obtained any new information? Xia En said without hiding anything. "In the scene in Fanyan City, the core node is King Xin himself." It was with his help that we eliminated a node. "One more thing, there seems to be other infiltrators in the Great Yan Palace." "According to my guess, it is very likely that he is a member of the [Truth Society], so please be careful!" "[Truth Society]?" Colonel Gold''s tone was obviously doubtful. "Aren''t they working with you?" "After all, the [Truth Society]''s position on this matter should be consistent with ours, right?" It is understandable that Gord would have such thoughts. After all, when they were trapped in the [Cold Sea], even the dispute between the three secret sects had not yet started. In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how crazy the [Truth Society] is, they will not sit back and watch the second great flood come. Xia En originally had the same attitude. However, after discovering that the founder of the [Truth Society], the Omniscient Sage, had contact with King Xin when the first great flood came. Shane''s thoughts changed somewhat. Their purpose of sneaking into [Great Flame] is definitely not that kind and simple. However, after all, this is Xia En''s subjective conjecture and cannot be used as real evidence. He could only remind Gold: "No matter what, please be careful of the members of the [Truth Society]. They are probably preparing some kind of larger conspiracy." Hearing this, Gold did not continue to delve deeper, but said solemnly. "I understand, and I would be wary of them." "The communication is about to be cut off, Captain Shane, I wish you good luck in your operation." There was a "di" sound. The voice in the communicator stopped suddenly, and Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little heavy. It is not difficult to guess that Colonel Gold and other crew members are most likely located somewhere on the King. In the same space as this cabin. But when they open the cabin door, Shane and the others will enter another memory scene. It seems very close, but actually it is far away. Even the access to the communication band this time may be a low-probability event. It was almost impractical to locate Colonel Gold and rendezvous with them. I''m afraid it''s for this reason. After learning about the situation of Shane and others, Colonel Gold did not even say "please for rescue". And from just a few words from Gord, Shane could tell The condition of the crew of the [King] is probably that they have run out of fuel and are about to reach the limit of endurance. After the communication is disconnected this time, whether or not Gord''s signal can be received again may become a problem. But now, all Xia En can do is believe in them. After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En asked. "Ms. Dark Ice, how are you resting?" An Bing replied: "No problem, I can leave at any time." "On the contrary, Captain Shane, your injury..." She looked at Xia En with concern. Xia En waved his hand: "It was just a small injury, and it has all healed now." Hearing this, An Bing''s expression couldn''t help but feel a little strange. That was the full blow of the legendary strongman. Even with this special robe as protection, it is not something that ordinary people can handle. Didn''t Xia En vomit blood before? It''s all right so quickly? This physique is simply more terrifying than any ancient ferocious beast. However, An Bing, who has seen Xia En''s extraordinary qualities several times, has become somewhat accustomed to it. Compared with defeating the legend head-on, this is just a small thing. Subsequently. Xia En and the other two walked to the door, took a deep breath, and then opened the door. call- An icy cold wind blew in my face. What you can see is a gray sky. In front of us is an endless wilderness. A layer of gray-white frost covered the ground, making it look even more desolate. The sky and the earth in the distance are almost indistinguishable. Standing on such an ice sheet makes people feel extremely small. After seeing this ice field, An Bing''s expression suddenly changed. Memories from the past began to come to mind, making her mood particularly complicated. An Bing said: "This is where I found the family members kidnapped by the [Black Flame Walker]. "In other words, the research institute is most likely located underground in this ice sheet." "really" The moment he saw this wasteland, Xia En had a similar suspicion. And An Bing''s words prove this. An Bing continued: "This ice sheet is called [Westerly Plateau]. Because of its higher altitude, it is colder than other places in [The Far North]." "Even after King Xin founded the [Great Yan Kingdom], the temperature in the [Westwind Plateau] is still very low, making it unsuitable for ordinary people to live." "It''s basically an undeveloped no man''s land." Speaking of these past events, An Bing''s eyes showed a little sparkle. "It''s just that there are two unique and rare specialties on this plateau." "One is [Ultra Arctic Ice Crystal Mine], and the other is [Westerly Frost Wolf]." "The former is an excellent secret power transmission material that can be used to make precious relics. It can be called the strategic reserve resource of [Great Yan Kingdom]." "King Xin once set up a mine to mine ice crystal minerals here." "And the latter is a unique creature that has absorbed the icy secret power of [Westwind Plateau]." "Their hearts, blood, and the horns on their heads can all be used as materials for [people of ice and snow] to practice." "So, this is also an excellent place for [people of ice and snow] to gain experience." "Generally when they reach adulthood, our people will come to the [Westwind Plateau] to hunt frost wolves." "It''s not only to train your actual combat abilities, but also to obtain resources for practice." "I see." Xia En nodded and gained more understanding of this [Westwind Plateau]. Just looking at this vast ice field, Xia En felt a little confused. It''s not like Fanyan City has a core and accurate palace as a target. The ice field in front of us is too desolate and too vast. There are no buildings with any signs on the surface. Trying to find the underground research institute here is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. But in the current situation, it seems that we can only bite the bullet and find it. soon. Xia En and the two headed towards the depths of the ice field. The icy cold wind blew on the two of them like knives, bringing a biting chill. I have to say. The temperature in [Westerly Plateau] is indeed extremely low. Ordinary secret travelers may not be able to withstand the extremely cold weather here. Fortunately, Xia En''s physique is extraordinary. There is also a black flame robe for keeping warm, so there is no big problem for a while. On the other hand, An Bing beside her was not affected by the cold, but the aura on her body became more stable and powerful. Its like Its like the cold secret power in the body has been replenished! Not only that, an icy blue light gradually appeared in An Bing''s eyes. The ends of the hair also show a similar color. Obviously, this is the unique blood talent of [People of Ice and Snow], which can draw the power of ice for their own use. This icy and snowy environment is like their home field. The [People of Ice and Snow] were at home here and were able to display their true strength. An Bing said. "Captain Shane, if we encounter any battle next, please leave it to me first." "You should conserve your strength first to deal with more powerful enemies." Xia En was not polite to An Bing and nodded. "Okay, then I''ll leave it to you, Miss An Bing." Perhaps their words became the crow''s mouth. Within a few minutes, several muffled wolf howls were heard not far away. Xia En looked in the direction where the howl came from and saw a few small dots appearing on the ice field. Several giant wolves with gray fur were approaching Xia En and the two of them. Strangely, these giant wolves generally have a pair of sharp horns on their heads. Inexplicably, it''s similar to Xian Ge''s dragon horns in Xia En''s impression. Seeing these giant wolves approaching, An Bing did not panic at all, but a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. She introduced. "That''s the [West Wind Frost Wolf]. It''s been a long time." "I remember that my coming-of-age ceremony back then required me to kill a [Western Frost Wolf] alone on this ice sheet." "That was also the first **** battle I experienced in my life." Hearing this, Xia En secretly clicked his tongue. Unexpectedly, An Bing, who now has an elegant and luxurious temperament, had such an experience in the past. But think about it too. The people of ice and snow must have their own uniqueness in being able to establish themselves in such a harsh environment as the Far North. This slightly cruel coming-of-age ceremony is probably the reason why their people are so brave and good at fighting. However, Xia En was still a little curious about the strange appearance of [West Wind Frost Wolf]. "Who is the opposite corner?" An Bing explained: "That is one of the characteristics of the [West Wind Frost Wolf]." "It is said that an ancient dragon was buried under this ice field." "Perhaps for this reason, the creatures on the [West Wind Plateau] will more or less have the blood of ancient dragons." "But this legend is too old. I don''t know whether it is true or false." "The bloodline of the ancient dragon..." Xia En looked thoughtful. He was slightly surprised when he suddenly heard a familiar name here. But he didn''t think much about it, thinking it was a simple coincidence. at the same time. Those [West Wind Frost Wolves] had already approached Xia En and the two of them. There was a desire for prey, coldness, and the slightest fear in those wolf eyes. They probably realized that the two humans in front of them were not simple, so they did not attack immediately. Seeing this, Xia En simply let out a low roar. The ancient dragon bloodline in his body was activated, exuding the majesty of a dragon. "Ouch! Ouch-" As soon as the frost wolves noticed this aura, they were so frightened that they fled with their tails between their legs. An Bing glanced at Xia En faintly: "Captain Xia En, didn''t you agree to let me take action?" (End of chapter) Chapter 371 【Underground Research Institute】【Thread Chapter 371 [Underground Research Institute] [Thread of Destiny] "Ahem..." Looking at An Bing''s eyes, Xia En coughed twice and explained. "Just a small experiment." The attempt just now made Xia En sure There is no doubt that these [West Wind Frost Wolves] do have the blood of ancient dragons flowing in their bodies. Only then would he run away because of the ancient dragon aura he released. but. Before the ancient dragons disappeared from the world of Seven Seas, they were the masters of this world, with footprints all over the world. It is not too surprising to encounter the traces left by the ancient dragon in this inaccessible [Land of the Far North]. Neither Xia En nor Xia En took this matter too seriously, just treating it as an unexpected episode. Their more important goal now is to find the research institute hidden underground. After walking for some time. The ice field in front of us is still desolate and monotonous. There was no living person in sight, nor any sign of life. The freezing wind seemed to never stop. There was no change in the surrounding scenery. As for finding the location of the research institute, it is even further away. Even Xia En, who had always been calm, couldn''t help but become a little impatient in this situation. "This can''t go on like this." "When it''s absolutely necessary, you can only use that method." The last method that Xia En thought of was very simple and crude, which was to make a big noise directly above the ice sheet. This will attract the attention of the [Black Flame Walker] stationed on the ice sheet. Since they couldn''t find the underground research institute, they simply asked the people in the underground research institute to find them. Of course, the disadvantages of this approach are also obvious. That means Xia En and the others can no longer sneak into the research institute secretly and can only negotiate with each other head-on. What will happen then is unpredictable. Especially There are also [Ice and Snow People] imprisoned in the research institute. [Black Flame Walker]''s attitude towards Dark Ice is also unknown. After thinking for a moment, Xia En told An Bing his plan and said. "If this is really the only way to do it, then I will be the one to communicate with [Black Flame Walker]." "Miss Anbing, hide in the dark, follow us to the underground research institute, and act in secret." After listening, An Bing did not refuse and nodded solemnly. "I see." However, just when Xia En was about to implement the plan. He suddenly noticed a mysterious connection. Deep in his mind, there seemed to be a voice calling him. "Captain Shane...Captain Shane, can you hear me?" Xia En was a little surprised. "This sound is..." The sound was no stranger to him. Because this is the voice that belongs to Jane! However, Xia En was greatly surprised by this method of contact that came directly from the depths of his soul. "Jane, is that you?" "Great, Captain Shane, I finally contacted you." Jane''s voice continued to ring in Xia En''s heart. Except for some slight distortion, the quality of the entire call was very high, even clearer than the communicator Moritz gave them. Jane continued. "There seems to be a strong signal interference source in this area, and normal communicators cannot be used." "This is the only way I can contact you." Shane picked up the communicator and took a look. I found that as Jane said, the current communicator cannot connect to any frequency band at all. However, what makes Xia En even more curious is how Jane conveyed her inner voice? Jane also expected that Xia En would be surprised by this and quickly explained "This is a unique secret technique that I have developed personally, called [Soul Echo]." "It allows me to communicate across distances with goals that are closely connected to my [Thread of Destiny]." "I originally thought that Captain Shane and I''s [Thread of Destiny] wasn''t enough to perform this secret technique." [Soul Echo]? [Thread of Destiny]? Listening to these unfamiliar terms, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. I have to say. Among his many crew members, only Jane''s ability was the most elusive to him, and she could always bring him some new surprises. To this day, Xia En doesn''t know how many hidden methods Jane has. But think about the years that Jane lives... Mastering so many weird abilities seems to be a matter of course. And soon, Xia En noticed the [Thread of Destiny] mentioned by Jane. Jane mentioned before that the [threads of fate] of Xia En and many people are closely intertwined. And now, Jane has become one of these people. Think about it carefully. Maybe this is because not long ago, Shane used the panel to bind Jane as an official crew member on the Black Swan. Since then, their fates have been closely linked. Only in this way can we communicate through [Soul Echo]. Xia En asked after suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind. "Ms. Jane, where are you now?" "Are there any other companions with you?" Jane replied: "Not long ago, Carles and I met." "We appear to be in an underground building now." "Inside the building, there are people suspected of being [Black Flame Walkers] patrolling around." "However, they appear to be highly wary of outsiders." "To avoid exposure, we did not negotiate with them, but temporarily hid in the ventilation ducts." Xia En was surprised: "You are actually already inside the underground research institute?" Obviously, when entering this memory scene, the positions where people appear are actually random. Jane and Carles were teleported directly to the underground research institute. I dont know if this is good luck or bad luck. "One more thing..." Jian You hesitated for a moment and continued. "I saw a very obvious [Truth Society] style in this underground research institute." "Whether it is the form of the building or the internal structure, it seems to have been designed and manufactured by people from the [Truth Society]." "I even suspect that... there may be some kind of special living experiment being conducted within the institute." Hearing this, Xia En''s expression immediately became serious. As the former "Mrs. Serenity" with the eighth truth number, Jane naturally has a deep understanding of the "Truth Society". Since she said that this institute has the style of the [Truth Society], it is basically the same. As for in vivo experiments. Xia En was not too surprised when he learned that An Bing''s tribe was captured and taken to the underground research institute. He already had similar conjectures. Jane didn''t know that Xia En had already learned the basic information about the underground research institute from An Bing, as well as the fact that King Xin had been in contact with the [Omniscient Sage]. Jane''s tone was a little hesitant because she was concerned about the relationship between Xia En and Xin Wang. And after knowing the style of the underground research institute [Truth Society]. A clearer guess emerged in Xia En''s mind - During the era of the first great flood, King Xin had an in-depth cooperation with the [Omniscient Sage] of the [Truth Society]. The purpose is naturally to prevent the disaster of annihilation from coming. And this underground research institute, and even the experiments on the [People of Ice and Snow], are all part of this plan. Coupled with Xin Wang''s strong interest in [Instant Time]. Not hard to guess. What he wants to obtain is probably the [Law of Ice] that the [People of Ice and Snow] can freeze in time and space! The moment I figured this out. Xia En''s secret-peeping eyes immediately gave feedback. [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" is +8%! [Comprehensive quality: 32 34! The familiar and warm secret power of gift came to Xia En from somewhere. Indescribably comfortable and comfortable. The few hidden wounds left in the previous battle with Hanno were healed. The increase in solution density shows that Xia En''s conjecture is correct. He has touched upon a corner of the truth! Regarding this information, Xia En did not hide it from An Bing, Jian and others. He simply explained their experience in the first memory scene directly to Jane, and at the same time also revealed his guess about the institute. After listening. Jane was shocked: "What? Captain Shane, have you eliminated a node?" What a high efficiency While they were still struggling to explore the research institute, Xia En had already eliminated a key node and even defeated a legendary undead. Even Jane, who had known Xia En for a long time, couldn''t help but feel a little outrageous at this moment. But that''s why. Jane also gained a little more confidence in completely destroying [Great Flame]. With Captain Shane here, we might really be able to do this and return to the real world safely. '' Xia En''s speculation about the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society] made Jane fall into deep thought. "If King Xin really met the [Omniscient Sage] in the past..." "Then everything here will make sense." "At that time, the [Truth Society] might not have been called the [Truth Society], and it might not have gone to the extreme pursuit of truth as it does now." "In Wang Xin''s view, the other party is just a special kind of researcher, and there is nothing wrong with him cooperating with them." "I just don''t know... what is the purpose of [Omniscient Sage] doing this?" Xia En asked: "Ms. Jian, do you know anything else about the [Omniscient Sage]?" There was a little helplessness in Jane''s voice. "Honestly, very little is known." "I should have said that the [Omniscient Sage] is the most mysterious existence in the [Truth Society]." "Don''t say it''s me, even the two top three scholars in this era''s [Truth Number] have never seen him." "The creation of the [Truth Society] seems to be just a trivial matter for the [Omniscient Sage]." "In the following years, he has never interfered with the development direction of the [Truth Society], nor has he used the power of the president to do anything." "Because he has not shown up for so long, there was once a second-ranked truth scholar who tried to replace his truth number." "As a result, the day after the scholar announced the incident, he died mysteriously in his room." When talking about this past event, Jane''s tone was filled with lingering fear. "Even all the documents, materials, notes, and research results he left behind...have become gibberish that cannot be observed by outsiders." "It''s equivalent to erasing it from both academic and physiological perspectives." "Such a punishment is dozens of times more terrifying to ordinary scholars than simple death." "After two or three similar incidents, no truth scholar dares to seek the number one ranking anymore." "This can be proved. Although the [Omniscient Sage] is extremely mysterious and barely shows up, he is definitely still alive." "And he has certain control over the [Truth Society]." "Have you survived from the time of the great flood to the present..." Shane muttered to himself. Such a long lifespan can only be attributed to the Immortal Species, or a non-human being like King Xin. Thousands of years ago, the strength of this [Omniscient Sage] was already extraordinary and was recognized by King Xin. And after such a long period of accumulation, where will he reach? Xia En felt a heavy pressure in his heart inexplicably, so much so that the slight satisfaction he felt in defeating Hanno disappeared in an instant. However, compared to the mysterious [Omniscient Sage]. What is more important now is to find the underground research institute and destroy the [Great Flame] node in it. So, Shane asked. "Is there any way we can lock your location?" Jane replied: "Maybe it can be done with the help of the induction of [Thread of Destiny]." "Captain Shane, relax, I''ll teach you what to do." As he spoke, an invisible secret power was inspired from Xia En''s heart, causing subtle changes in the world in Xia En''s eyes. Many strange, seemingly non-existent threads appeared in his field of vision. This is somewhat similar to the points and lines seen by [Peeping Eyes of Secrets], but it is also somewhat different. One of the thicker threads was currently connected to Xia En, leading to a direction not far away. Xia En was surprised: "Is this the [Thread of Destiny]?" Jane''s voice came intermittently. "The loss of long-distance transmission of secret power is too great. I can''t open this kind of vision for you all the time." Shane thought for a moment and said. "Ms. Jane, you can remove your secret power, and I can see the trajectory of the [Line of Destiny] myself." "ah?" Jane was stunned for a moment, but she didn''t express any doubt about it. She just silently withdrew the projected secret power. immediately. Xia En pushed his [Peeping Eyes of Secrets], and [Threads of Destiny] naturally appeared in his field of vision. In fact, Xia En could see these [threads of fate] before. But at that time, he didn''t know the meaning of these threads. They are mixed in with other lines and difficult to distinguish. But with Jane''s help, Shane locked the "layer" where the [Thread of Destiny] is located Distinguish them from other lines and points of light. And just as Jane said, there are several particularly thick "threads of fate" lingering around Xia En. Apparently, that was his crew. Some of them also have a faint pink color, which seems to be related to marriage. The most conspicuous one leads to a relatively distant place, which makes Xia En think of Joey''s figure inexplicably. In addition, there seems to be Sha Jingjing, Laila, Carles, etc... The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. Jane would give such an evaluation at that time, and it was indeed not without reason. Shaking his head and shaking those weird thoughts out of his mind, Shane walked towards the end of the [Line of Destiny] belonging to Carles and Jane. (End of chapter) Chapter 372 【Unknown truth】 Chapter 372 [Unknown truth] With the guidance of [Thread of Destiny]. Xia En and the two are like ships that have found a lighthouse on the vast sea. They have determined the direction of their goal and will not get lost in this wilderness. As sixth-level secret travelers, the two of them were naturally extremely fast when they were on the road with all their strength. About ten minutes later. They followed the guide and came to the foot of a towering snow-capped mountain. Seeing this snow mountain, An Bing suddenly understood. "It turns out that King Xin hid the research institute here." Shane asked: "Where is this?" An Bing explained: "I told you before that there is another specialty on the Xifeng Plateau - [Arctic Ice Crystal Mine]." "And in this valley, there is a mine that digs this kind of ore." "I''m afraid King Xin hid this research institute underground in the mine." "Since the ice crystal mine itself is a strategic reserve resource of [Dayan Kingdom], the status of the mine is particularly important. Even the location of this mine is strictly confidential." "Only a very few people and the [Black Flame Walker] know about it, and he hid the research underground, making it even more hidden..." The two were talking. Suddenly, Xia En''s expression changed and he looked in a direction not far away. There, several figures in black robes were walking towards the valley. The jet-black robe stood out against the gray ice field. It looked a bit eerie and eerie, making people feel chilled in their hearts. There is no doubt that those are a group of [Black Flame Walkers]. Among the [Black Flame Walkers], there are several people wearing hoods. On the surface, it looked like they had been forcibly tied here and had lost their personal freedom. Because these "prisoners" didn''t have the black rock robes to cover their auras, Xia En discovered their arrival immediately. And after seeing this group of people. An Bing''s face became a little ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Those...are my people." Xia En glanced at her slightly worriedly. Regardless of whether King Xin arrested the [People of Ice and Snow] for revenge, research, or other reasons. This matter itself has already touched the taboo of An Bing. No one will feel good when they see one of their own people being arrested. Xia En was a little worried that An Bing would not be able to help but act emotionally and take action against those [Black Flame Walkers]. Fortunately, An Bing finally knew that this space was just a reflection of a past memory. Those tribesmen are just fictitious projections. Therefore, An Bing just bit his lip and suppressed the urge to take action. However, her eyes were inevitably a little sad and complicated. "Captain Shane, don''t worry about me, I can still distinguish the seriousness of things." Noticing Xia En''s eyes, An Bing said. There was determination in her tone. "Besides, I came here to find out the truth about this matter." "This time, I won''t run away anymore." Hearing this, Xia En felt relieved a little. But at this time, there was still a problem before them. That is How do they enter this institute in the valley? It is conceivable that there must be a strong defense force in such a research institute. It is obviously not a wise move to break in head-on. It seems that this is the only entrance to the valley, and there is no other way to sneak in. This current situation puts both Xia En and An Bing in a bit of trouble. At this time, the group of [Black Flame Walkers] had arrived at the entrance of the valley. Immediately, guards came out of the valley, seemingly negotiating and confirming the identities of this group of people. It wasn''t until someone in the [Black Flame Walker] took out something that the guards let him through. However, due to the distance, Xia En could not see clearly what they took out. But what surprised the two of them was Xia En. After sending the group of [People of Ice and Snow] to the valley, not all of these [Black Flame Walkers] entered the valley. Three of them returned the same way, as if they had other tasks yet to be completed. Saw this scene. Xia En and An Bing looked at each other and saw similar meanings in each other''s eyes. Chance! These [Black Flame Walkers] must be carrying some token of identity. As long as you get it, you may be able to enter the valley smoothly! After confirming the target, Xia En and the two silently restrained their auras and followed the three lone [Black Flame Walkers]. Although the [Black Flame Walkers] are the elite troops of the [Great Yan Kingdom], it is impossible for everyone to be a sixth-level secret pather. There is still a big gap between the realms of Xia En and the two. In addition, they never expected that someone would silently stare at them in this desolate ice field. Therefore, Xia En and An Bing approached behind them smoothly. In the sound of howling cold wind. Shane also vaguely heard their conversation. "Boss, is it really okay for us to do this?" The first person to speak was a slightly childish voice. "After all, the current [Ice and Snow People] are also our [Great Yan Country]''s subjects." "Isn''t it inappropriate to attack them like this?" "What do you know?" Another rough voice sounded. "These [people of ice and snow] are not honest to begin with, and have always had evil intentions towards us [Great Yan Country]." "I heard that there have been several assassinations against the king behind his back. This is the retribution they deserve." "Huh? Is there such a thing?" The voice before was extremely surprised. "But...our current Princess, isn''t she also a member of the [People of Ice and Snow]?" "How dare they do such a thing?" [Black Flame Walker], who was called the "boss", sighed. "Her Royal Highness, the princess, is also a miserable person. She is caught between the family and the king... I''m afraid it''s not a good feeling, right?" At this time, the other person who was silent said: "What you are talking about are just rumors." "There is no evidence that those assassins must have been sent by the [People of Ice and Snow]." "More importantly... I think many of the people we arrested are innocent and unknowing people." "I''m afraid it''s inappropriate for the king to do what he does..." The leader [Black Flame Walker] chuckled. "That''s why I said, you don''t understand anything!" "Have you ever seen what the inside of the institute looks like?" "Do you know what kind of life [people of ice and snow] live there?" The person who questioned him earlier was a little surprised. "Wait, you mean..." The leader grinned and said, "Anyway, listen to my advice." Read and think about everything, and dont rush to a conclusion. "Besides, the king''s decision is beyond doubt." "All we have to do is obey his orders." The leader''s tone was a little fanatical. "Because... he was right before, he is right now, and he will be right in the future." "As for what other people think, it doesn''t matter at all." "History and those who come after us will rectify our name." After hearing this, the expressions of the two people beside him changed, and they were faintly touched. But soon. The leader [Black Flame Walker]''s expression changed and he looked in a direction behind him. "Who! Who is there?" Then, Xia En and An Bing walked out from behind the rocks. Before coming forward, An Bing took off the veil on his face, and his expression looked extremely complicated. Seeing that beautiful face, the expressions of the three [Black Flame Walkers] suddenly changed. "Your Highness the Princess!?" "But, how is it possible?" "Shouldn''t the princess still be in the palace yesterday? The leader was in disbelief: "Why did she suddenly appear here?" An Bing looked at the other party and said. "Captain Baker, we meet again." The little boss named Baker couldn''t help but feel a little confused. He is just a little-known squad leader. When did he meet Her Royal Highness the Princess? Did she even remember her name? What Baker didn''t know was that in real history, it was him who was caught red-handed by Dark Ice during the execution of his mission. Even what he said was exactly the same as now. However, now is not the time to think about this issue. Baker frowned and asked, "Your Highness, did you hear everything?" An Bing nodded. "Beck, the matter has come to this, why don''t you tell me everything you know, so that you may suffer less." Hearing this, Baker shook his head firmly. "My life was saved by the king." "After that, I swore to be loyal to the king forever." "Even if it''s you, I won''t compromise!" As he spoke, Baker took a challenge stance. An Bing sighed: "In that case, let''s fight." The battle was over in an instant. Even though the three of them were extremely determined, in the face of the absolute strength gap, they only resisted for one more second. However, after being captured. Facing Xia En''s inquiry, the three [Black Flame Walkers] all tacitly and resolutely remained silent, unwilling to reveal any information. The loyalty of [Black Flame Walker] is evident. After searching the body, Shane found an empty wooden box. There is still some familiar secret power left in it. Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised: "Is this...[Fire]?" Although it is somewhat different from the [Fire] given to them by King Xin. But Xia En can also tell that this is indeed a wooden box used to hold [fire]. As for the reason why the [Fire] inside disappeared, its probably because After Baker noticed the arrival of Shane and the others, he extinguished it in advance. "This [Tinder] is your voucher for entering the underground research institute?" Shane looked at Beck questioningly. In response, Baker just sneered. "So what? This [fire] has been extinguished by me." "You want to enter the underground research institute? I advise you to give up!" "Only those whom the king has great trust can enter." On the side, An Bingbing asked coldly. "Am I not considered someone he trusts greatly?" "this" Upon hearing this, Baker suddenly fell silent. Different from the cold and hard attitude towards Xia En, the expressions on these [Black Flame Walkers] when they looked at An Bing were inevitably a bit complicated, and some even had the slightest hint of shame. after all. An Bing is the current princess, and from a certain perspective, King Xin''s actions are indeed a bit sorry for her. "So...what if I say, I have this?" As he spoke, Xia En took out the [Fire] he carried with him and let out a trace of its breath. "What?" Baker was immediately shocked: "You actually have the [fire] gifted by the king?" [Fire] itself is equivalent to King Xins token. Moreover, the aura of the [Fire] in Xia En''s hand seemed to be purer and more condensed than the one they had. Could it be said that this man is also someone whom King Xin trusts? But if that''s the case, why did they come to secretly investigate this underground research institute? For a moment, Baker''s thinking couldn''t help but become a little confused. Shane asked again. "Now, can you tell me what''s going on inside the institute?" An Bing then asked: "Do you know what kind of life the [people of ice and snow] live in the research institute?" "Aren''t my people being used as experimental materials?" Hearing such a question, Baker''s face showed a look of struggle. But in the end, he just said. "Your Royal Highness, I can only say that the situation inside the institute may be different from what you expected." "But the specifics can only be witnessed with your own eyes." An Bing was a little surprised: "Won''t you stop me?" Baker smiled bitterly: "I also want to stop you, but isn''t it impossible?" "If you really want to find out the truth, then go ahead." Maybe something happened in the future that affected him, or maybe there was some deviation in [Da Yan]''s memory reappearance. Baker''s attitude seems to be somewhat different from the real history. An Bing suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded. "I will." Afterwards, Dark Ice temporarily froze the three [Black Flame Walkers], while he and Xia En walked toward the valley. Although it took a circle, they still found a way to enter the institute. On the way, An Bing took the initiative to mention. "Captain Shane, how about this, you play as [Black Flame Walker]." "Let me play the role of the captured [people of ice and snow], which may facilitate our actions." Shane agreed. After all, it would be a bit suspicious to go to the institute empty-handed like this. But taking a prisoner seemed justifiable. On the way, Xia En was also thinking about the information revealed in the conversation between the three Bakers. It is not difficult to see that [Black Flame Walker] also has a certain resistance to the arrest of [People of Ice and Snow]. Moreover, not all [Black Flame Walkers] know the situation inside the research institute. This shows the high degree of confidentiality. And Baker''s last words made Shane a little confused. It''s not like An Bing thought... Could it be said that the [people of ice and snow] who were imprisoned in the research institute may not have suffered inhumane treatment? However, Xia En also clearly felt that Baker had some blind trust and admiration for King Xin. His words are likely to be biased towards the salary king. What the facts are can only be witnessed by their own eyes. Not long after. The two came to the entrance of the valley. Since their combat uniforms were originally modified from the [Black Flame Robe], once the hood is worn, they are almost the same as the [Black Flame Walker]. Coupled with the unique aura exuded by [Tinder]. The guard just muttered "It''s quite efficient" and let the two of them enter the valley. (End of chapter) Chapter 373 【Underground Research Institute】【Volunte Chapter 373 [Underground Research Institute] [Volunteers and Prisoners] After passing through a passage leading underground, Xia En and the two officially entered the underground research institute. But what he saw in front of him surprised Xia En. The silver-gray walls and ceiling have a unique and technological sheen. These characteristics gave Xia En a strong sense of immediacy. he murmured softly. "[Ember Shelter]?" Yes, the scene in this research institute was obviously similar to the [Ember Shelter] he had been to. It''s like it was built according to a template. Combined with the fact that this shelter is the product of the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society]. Not hard to guess. The [Ember Sanctuaries] located across the Seven Seas actually have shadows of the [Truth Society]. This can''t help but make Shane feel a little ridiculous - In the future, the [Truth Society] will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, but they are one of the contributors to the [Ember Project] and have preserved the spark of civilization for mankind. But then I thought about it. Xia En also understood the reason why this happened. After all, people change, and so does an organization. The original [Truth Society] may indeed have had the original intention of leading people towards the truth. But as time goes by, their pursuit of truth gradually becomes distorted, forgetting that human beings are the foundation of civilization, and slowly evolves into the state of later generations. The reason why Jane quit the [Truth Society] was precisely because she noticed the deterioration of the [Truth Society]. one way or another. Looking at the research institute in front of him, Xia En''s view of the [Truth Society] also changed slightly. At least in this era, they don''t seem to be synonymous with madness and danger. at the same time. Shane still keeps in touch with Jane. Shane asked: "Jane, we have entered the underground research institute, where are you now?" Jane replied: "I heard from nearby researchers that the entire underground research institute seems to be divided into three areas." "Area A is the living area, while Areas B and C are areas for two different research projects." "We are now in the utility room in Area C." "I see." Xia En said: "Then you stay there and don''t move around. We will meet you there soon." And this time. On the other side of the passage, a researcher wearing a white coat walked towards him. Shane suddenly became nervous. After all, they know almost nothing about the internal situation of this institute, and it will be exposed with just a little interrogation. Fortunately, the researcher was just a little strange. "What are you doing standing here?" "Why don''t you bring the newcomers to Area A quickly?" Shane was a little embarrassed. Because he didn''t know which direction the area A mentioned by the researcher was. If you go wrong, it will arouse the other party''s suspicion. After thinking about it, Xia En simply said apologetically. "Actually... this is my first time inside the institute, so I''m not very familiar with it." "How do I get to Area A?" "ha?" The researcher looked surprised and asked. "Who is your boss?" "It''s the first time I''ve come to the institute, and I can trust you to act alone. It''s really unreasonable!" Xia En apologized in his heart, but still said: "My captain is Baker. He has other tasks, so he left first." "He said I could ask someone in the institute for directions." "Oh, it turns out to be that guy Baker..." Upon hearing this familiar name, the researcher''s expression obviously relaxed a lot, and any doubt he had before was gone. "It just so happens that Baker and I still have some friendship, so we won''t report it to the boss." "Well, I happen to be free now, so let me take you to Area A." Shane looked grateful. "That would be perfect." But at the same time, Xia En had a little doubt in his heart. Isnt Area A a living area? Why were the prisoners of the [People of Ice and Snow] taken there? Or, they are just temporarily placed in Area A until the time comes. Just sent to the laboratory? On the way to the living area, Xia En simply asked this question to the researcher in front of him. Unexpectedly, after hearing this question. The researcher immediately stared at Shane suspiciously. "Strange, why don''t you even know about this kind of thing?" "The [People of Ice and Snow] who were sent here were divided into two groups, one group are special volunteers, and the other group are imprisoned prisoners." "I remember that all [Black Flame Walkers] who are allowed to enter the research institute should know about this." "Could it be...you?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly stirred up waves. volunteer? prisoner? Two batches of [People of Ice and Snow]? From these few words, he had already gotten a glimpse of the truth. The situation in the underground research institute seemed to be very different from what Xia En expected. But it was obvious that his question also aroused the researcher''s suspicion. The most urgent task is to get through this current period. As a result, Xia En''s mind was spinning rapidly. He took out the wooden box containing tinder again and spoke in a low voice. "Actually, I am a special envoy sent by King Xin." "I''m here to eliminate a certain hidden danger in the institute. Please keep quiet." "special envoy?" The researcher was obviously frightened by this title. But when he thought about it carefully, he did realize that there were some discordant voices within the institute recently. on the other hand. The aura of fire is genuine. At least it proved that the stranger in front of him was indeed someone whom King Xin trusted. Strictly speaking, Shane did not lie. Didnt they just accept King Xins request and participate in this infiltration operation? It''s just that one is the salary king in the past and the other is the salary king in the future. And just then. The three of them have reached Area A of the institute. Suddenly, a girl''s voice sounded not far away. "Researcher Fite, what are you doing?" Feite''s thoughts were interrupted and he turned his head to say hello. "Oh, Miss Wan, it turns out to be you." "Why do you have time to go out for a walk?" Xia En turned around and looked, suddenly shocked. Because the girl who came from not far away was the girl he had met once before in Fanyan City and whom An Bing called his sister Xiaowan! According to An Bing, he was captured by [Black Flame Walker] and taken to the underground research institute. Since then, his whereabouts, life and death are unknown. But at this time. In Xia En''s eyes, the girl not far away had a ruddy complexion and a fresh breath. Not to mention there were any signs of abuse, but his cheeks were rounder. It looks fleshy. Xiaowan''s appearance seemed to completely overturn Xia En and An Bing''s previous speculations about this underground research institute. at the same time. Although An Bing was wearing a camouflage hood, he could not see Xiao Wan''s face. But after hearing that familiar voice, her delicate body couldn''t help but tremble. However, An Bing still suppressed the urge to take off his hood and listened quietly to the development of the situation. Xiaowan explained. "I just finished training a few newcomers and came out to relax." "...Huh?" Xiaowan looked at An Bing, who was wearing a hood, and felt a little familiar. But she didn''t pay too much attention and said instead. "A new person has arrived." "Follow me, I''ll take you to register." The researcher named Fite said to Shane. "This is Miss Wan, the younger sister of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and one of the directors of Area A of the institute." "Every [Ice and Snow People] who comes here must undergo his training before they can officially move in." director Training? Listening to these familiar words, Xia En felt a little strange inexplicably. Is this what a girl kidnapped here should do? "Okay, don''t be stunned." Xiaowan said generously: "Come with me." soon. Xia En and Feite parted ways and came to a door in the living area. Looking at Xia En who was still following behind, Xiaowan was a little surprised. "Why are you still here?" "The person has been delivered, you can do other things." Xia En said calmly: "What lesson are you going to teach her?" "I''m a little curious, can we go in and have a look together? Hearing this, Xiaowan''s expression was a little strange, but she still said it. "That''s not impossible. If you want to see it, then come in together." Unlike Feite before, Xiaowan never doubted Xia En''s identity at all. In her opinion, anyone who can enter the research institute is already one of her own. Go into the room and close the door. Xiaowan said to Xia En: "You can take off her hood." "Wearing this hood is mainly to prevent them from remembering the location of the institute." With that said, Xiaowan turned her head and looked at An Bing. "By the way, this tribesman..." "I haven''t asked you yet, what is your name? Have you seen me?" "I always feel that you look familiar..." Just then. An Bing took off his hood, and his black hair spread out as smoothly as flowing water. She raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her. "Xiaowan, long time no see." After seeing her face clearly, Xiaowan''s eyes suddenly opened wide. "Sister An Bing, you...you? How could it be you?" She had no idea that An Bing would leave the palace without anyone noticing, sneak into the underground research institute, and then appear in front of her. An Bing''s expression was extremely complicated, but also filled with a trace of happiness. She smiled: "Why, you don''t even dare to recognize me?" Then An Bing asked seriously again. "Xiaowan, can you tell me what happened after you were kidnapped?" "elder sister" Xiaowan showed struggle on her face, but finally she sighed and said. "The matter has come to this, I can''t hide it from you anymore." "At first, when I woke up and found that I was in this research institute, my first reaction was naturally to panic." "But after watching a video, I changed my view." "Sister, I think you should take a look too." With that said, Xiaowan turned on a device in the room. An image was projected on the wall opposite the room. in the image. A tall and straight figure walked towards him. That handsome face was none other than the Salary King that both Xia En and the two were extremely familiar with. King Xin looked over and said. "I''m sorry for bringing you here without notice." "But only by doing this can I trust and use your power." "I''ll just say it." "Now [Great Yan Country] and even the entire world are facing an unprecedented crisis." "A devastating flood sweeping the world is about to come." "And what I want to use is the secret power of ice and cold from you [people of ice and snow]." "I hope... you can cooperate with the researchers in the institute to conduct research on the secret power of ice." "Either store the ice-cold secret power, or develop a more efficient secret technique." Having said this, King Xin paused. "Of course, it''s up to you to decide whether to participate in the experiment or not." "I will not force you to conduct experiments." "It''s just...this matter is related to the survival of the entire world after all." "Since you already know this secret, you need to stay in the institute for a while." "When a certain contract secret technique stabilizes, I will let you go." King Xin looked a little ashamed. "I know, this kind of thing is a bit overwhelming." "Forcing you to be tied here is indeed not a glorious thing." "You can always blame me in your heart." "But I, King Xin, will never lie about this kind of thing." "For [Great Yan Kingdom] and for the sake of this world, I implore you... to help me!" As he spoke, the king of [Great Yan Kingdom] bent his waist that seemed to be always straight and spoke solemnly. "Please!" The whole video ends here. Xia En''s mood did not calm down for a long time. He felt King Xin''s sincerity from these words. Even if he is not a citizen of [Great Yan Kingdom], he can''t help but be touched by it. And for the people of the Great Yan Kingdom, this feeling will probably be even stronger. That is a request from the king of a country to them! It makes people have the urge to die for their confidants. After reading it, Xia En suddenly understood why Xiaowan became the director of the research institute to help King Xin persuade other clan members. Apparently, she had already decided to contribute to King Xin''s research. And every [people of ice and snow] brought here will have seen such images. After Xiaowan''s persuasion, many of them naturally changed their attitudes and chose to actively contribute to King Xin''s plan. This is what Fit meant by volunteer. Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little weird. possible This is what is called charisma, right? If it were another person, people might think this is alarmist and would not believe this statement. But it was Wang Xin who said these words, which made people feel extremely magnanimous. I am afraid it is precisely because of this that he can get the support of so many people. But soon, Shane thought about the prisoner Feit mentioned. What does that mean? Hear Shane''s question. Xiaowan said with a somewhat complicated expression. "Wang Xin also told us directly about the identities of those prisoners." "Actually, they are also members of our clan." "It''s just that they are die-hards in the family. [Dayan Kingdom] has quite a lot of malicious intentions. They even secretly destroyed towns in [Dayan Kingdom] and assassinated officials of [Dayan Kingdom]." "After these people were arrested, they were sent here." "It is said that the institute will conduct some special experiments on those who should be sentenced to death." (End of chapter) Chapter 374 [The sleeping bronze dragon! 】 Chapter 374 [The sleeping bronze dragon! Zheng Yu lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the smoke, looked at the smoke, and said: "His name is Zheng Liang, he is your eldest brother." "Huh?" Duanmu: "I''m not surprised that you have an illegitimate child. What does eldest brother mean?" Zheng Yu: "It means he is my eldest child, and his mother is my college classmate. I like her, and she likes me, but she is not helpful to me. The situation is similar to yours. I will give them a sum of money every year Money. Last year, his mother was seriously ill, and he begged me to see his mother for the last time, but I couldn''t, because at the critical moment, I couldn''t let anyone know that I had an illegitimate child, and I couldn''t let others know that I didn''t do my best. Fathers Responsibilities and Obligations. Zheng Yudao: "When you mentioned the Southeast Asian killer, I knew it was him. I called him and told him it was time to end, but he said it would not end unless I died." The air was quiet for a while, and Zheng Yu added: "He was arrested this morning. He has a best friend who grew up with him. He does smuggling business in these three countries and knows many people on the road. The best friend is now He is in South Korea and the police are hunting him down with all his strength. Gui Yi on the other side of the door looked at Cui Jian on the other side and whispered, "Why don''t we know these things?" Zheng Yu looked over: "I''m very sorry." Cui Jian said calmly: "It''s okay." Anyway, it wasn''t me who died. Duanmu raised his left arm: "The doctor took out three fragments from my arm. If one of them cut off my artery, would you say I''m sorry so easily?" Zheng Yu sighed: "Sorry kid, I need to control the influence." Duanmu said: "If you had told us the situation as soon as possible, so many people would not have died today. Let me guess why? Because you need to get rid of your illegitimate son quietly. No, no, you should be disposed of quietly. Theres this thing about Vietnamese illegitimate children. Cui Jian raised his eyebrows at Gui Yi: Look, big melon. Gui Yi stood up straighter. Duanmu: "Let me guess again, this person named Zheng Liang may go to jail for a few years, or he may not go to jail. After he comes out, he can change his name and still live a good life. As a bodyguard, he will die if he dies. No big deal." "No." Zheng Yu said: "An hour ago, the prison car fell off the cliff due to a brake failure during the escort." Duanmu: "You are so cruel." Cui Jian: One thing to say is, someone treats his son well, but you ridicule him. If someone kills his son, you think it''s cruel. What do you want? Zheng Yu said: "He didn''t kill me because I didn''t visit his mother. It was just an excuse. In fact, his mother respected me very much and asked him to understand me. His purpose is simple. After my death, he can Participating in the division of inheritance as an illegitimate child. He has consulted many lawyers on related legal issues and found a good attorney in the United States. Zheng Yu said: "I gave him 5 million US dollars last year, but it was still not enough. I was confused and asked someone to investigate and found out that now he not only gambles, but also smokes flour. He needs money, and he is no longer satisfied with 2 million dollars a year. dollars for living expenses. If you have any questions, just ask. Cui Jian raised his hand: "Duanmu, why do you only have 1 million yuan in living expenses every year?" Duanmu looked at Zheng Yu, then at Cui Jian, and said, "Gui Yi, take him out. Now!" Gui Yi reluctantly opened the door and pushed Cui Jian to leave: Why ask, there is nothing left to eat. The two left, and the atmosphere in the room was still awkward because of Cui Jian''s question. It took Zheng Yu a while before he said, "Vietnam has high consumption." Duanmu said hurriedly: "Yes, yes." He wanted to kill Cui Jian. According to Zheng Yu, Zheng Liang''s matter has been resolved, and now only Huang Zhuiling is left. The FBI has intervened in the investigation, but there has been no progress so far. Zheng Yu really can''t think of anyone who would offer a reward to him. Why did Zheng Liang know Zheng Yu''s whereabouts? It was a very simple bugging device disguised as a ring. Zheng Liang gave it to Zheng Yu in the name of his mother''s relic. Zheng Yu cherished it very much and always carried it with him. This was Xuemi''s mistake. She checked the hotel room, the villa, and the car, but she did not check Zheng Yu''s personal belongings. Early the next morning, Dayin Security sent three cars to drive Zheng Yu to check into the villa hotel again. Assistant Hans was waiting at the door of the villa. Assistant Hans went to Seoul in advance to meet with some people at Zheng Yu''s request, so he was not involved in the attack on the convoy. Duanmu has had a lot of contact with Hans in the past two days, and it was found that this person has a very strict reputation. It can also be seen that Hans is loyal to Zheng Yu, at least on the surface. Zheng Yu lives in villa No. 2, while the bodyguards and the remnants of Xuemi live in villas No. 1 and 3. The only change from before is that Cui Jian and the other three have become Zheng Yu''s personal bodyguards. Xuemi originally had eight personal bodyguards, four in a shift. Cui Jian''s trio is one person per team, and they only need to ensure that one personal bodyguard stays with Zheng Yu at all times. After two days of rest, a man named Yas from New York security arrived with his troops. The plan is that they will recuperate for a day, Xuemi will take over the headquarters after being discharged from the hospital, and head to Seoul again. Yas was in a group of 7 people, including men and women, black and white. Duanmu greeted them at the door of Villa No. 1 and was received by the remnants of Xuemi. Duanmu invited Yas to have breakfast with them in Villa No. 3. Duanmu introduced Cui Jian and Yas, and the three of them sat down. Yas brought the latest news from the FBI. Due to the previous three failed assassinations, Zheng Yu''s bounty in Huang''s order has increased to 3.6 million US dollars. But this is not the key. The key is that this matter has great influence in the circle. There is a vague situation that whoever can kill Zheng Yu will be the king of killers. Yasi let the two watch the discussion on the dark website that the FBI has been paying attention to. A netizen named Pirate Gun posted an article, provoking the red water ghost to make a bet with Zheng Yu''s life to settle the grudge between them. Yas introduced: "Pirate Gun is 42 years old. He was imprisoned for ten years and was released three months ago. He and Red Water Ghost are both Class A killers of Texas grizzly bears." Duanmu glanced at Cui Jian: Your old colleague. Cui Jian: I have nothing to say. Yasdao: "Pirate Gun and Red Water Ghost were partners. After the Grizzly Bear incident, Pirate Gun took all the charges and saved Red Water Ghost. After being released from prison, Pirate Gun discovered that Red Water Ghost was married to his girlfriend. And he also gave birth to a pair of children. Hong Shui Gui has been in business for many years, and he is willing to give 50% of his wealth to the pirate gun. Hong Shui Guis girlfriend also said that she fell in love with Hong Shui Gui. Duanmu said: "Is that it?" Yas pulled down, and there were a bunch of comments below. Someone mentioned the title of King of Killers. Then a new post came out, proposing an assassination contest targeting Huang Zhui Ling''s Zheng Yu. At this time, a netizen named Huang Zhuiling opened a post. He first proved that he was the person in charge of Huang Zhuiling''s website. Please pay attention to the latest notices from Huang Zhuiling''s website. Huang Zhui Ling''s website has updated the event, and a killer king will be selected every two years. The King of Killers will enjoy full remuneration. The website not only does not charge any commission, but also rebates 10% of the commission for each order. The first Killer King was created by hunting down Zheng Yu. Whoever kills Zheng Yu will be the king of killers. The original commission was 1 million, but after the killer completed the task, the website had to take away 300,000. After becoming the King of Killers, you can take away 1.1 million as long as you complete the commission. Yas introduced that Huang Zhui Ling was advertising for his website. Now the news about Huang Zhui Ling not only exists in the dark of the Internet, but also spilled over to the Internet. Many ordinary people are aware of the existence of Huang Zhui Ling, but most of them Some people think it is a joke and fake news. Yasi said: "We don''t know how many people have accepted Zheng Yu''s commission. I guess the situation is not optimistic." Cui Jian didn''t understand and asked: "If the US government takes action, what can they do if they also take away a website?" Yas said: "If the matter involves national security, I believe there will be a way. But the matter currently only exists at the criminal level, and ordinary police have no way." Yas cited a case that happened many years ago. The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and South Korea jointly took down one of the world''s largest children-related websites. How was the case solved? The first is to target a viewer, track the shrimp coins he uses, and find the dark server where the website is located. Then, by monitoring multiple websites on the server, we can find the flow of income funds. Then use both online and offline investigation methods to find the agent operator of the children''s website. The physical location of the website server was eventually found in South Korea, and the culprit was eventually caught. Law enforcement agencies share the information with every country in the world, and each country decides whether to arrest website users according to its own laws. Yas gave this example to illustrate that the cost of investigating the dark web is very high, which is completely disproportionate to the punishment received by criminals. If it weren''t for the fact that this was the largest website, it wouldn''t have attracted a multinational joint investigation. Compared with the websites that gave examples of cases, Huang Zhuiling had very little daily traffic, was very vigilant, and moved frequently, so the difficulty of investigation was doubled. Websites like this have back-ups. Once they are really found, they will destroy the back-end information, making it difficult to trace previous commission information. As professional killers, they would also come into contact with Huang Zhuiling through disguise, so it was unrealistic to find the killer and employer through Huang Zhuiling. Duanmu said to Yas: "Actually, you just need to answer that there is nothing you can do." Cui Jian nodded: "Well, I''m too lazy to hear the reason." Yas chuckled: "You guys are so funny." Cui Jian asked: "Yasi, are you and Xuemi the same group?" Duanmu looked at Yas and wanted to know the answer. Yasi said: "If you are talking about bodyguard work, the answer is yes. Xuemi and I are both deputy directors of the branch. As deputy director, I am responsible for security risk assessment, and Xuemi, who is also the deputy director, is responsible for the actual field work." What this sentence means is: She and I are not the same person. What I brought was field service, her people. I''m just a back-office worker with the title of deputy supervisor, so I led the team here. I am only responsible for risk assessment, not field work. Yas doesn''t like to beat around the bush, but there are some things he can''t say directly. He knew that Xuemi and Xuemi''s subordinates had a background, and he couldn''t talk nonsense without evidence. Even if there was evidence, he and Xuemi were still from the same company and would not tell others the details of Xuemi. Duanmu glanced at Cui Jian. It was obvious that Cui Jian had not turned around to digest the information. Duanmu asked: "What is your evaluation result of this project?" Yas: "It is very dangerous, not only for this project, but also for Zheng Yu himself. Even if Zheng Yu returns to China now, the safety factor will not be higher than if he stayed in South Korea. Foreigners with obvious characteristics like us , is very popular in South Korea, and lacks the advantages of location and connections. My suggestion is to apply for security protection and let the judicial department directly intervene to protect Zheng Yus safety. Duanmu said: "But Zheng Yu disagrees." Yas nodded: "Yes, although I don''t understand it, I respect it." Duanmu knew that the reason why Zheng Yu disagreed was because of Zheng Liang. American reporters are like hyenas. They will dig up news that the congressman is under judicial protection. They will dig out Zheng Liang easily. Zheng Yu''s behavior towards Zheng Liang''s mother and son will definitely be spurned by the public, and Zheng Yu''s political career will end. Cui Jian is used to asking questions: "So you can''t guess who the employer is who put Zheng Yu on the Huang Zhongwang reward list?" He no longer wants to hear any evidence. With the FBI launched, it seems that the suspect is not even a suspect. None were found. Duanmu asked Yas: "Are there no suspects?" Yas replied: "From the information I have obtained, no suspect has been found. We are currently studying the business practices related to Zheng Yu in the past ten years. From my perspective, the situation is not very optimistic." Cui Jian had another question: "Why was Zheng Yu not involved in such a large-scale firefight?" Duanmu answered this question: "Because Zheng Yu is a victim, as long as he does not agree, the police cannot leak his information. Journalists who leak victim information without permission are also legally responsible. Read the news headlines yourself: A Rich Man There were heavy casualties in the North Circle attack. Zheng Yu was indeed a rich man, and in theory, netizens were more interested in the North Circle. After breakfast, Yasi went to the hospital first. In addition to reporting to Xuemi, he also had to follow Xuemi''s work arrangements. Cui Jian and Duanmu stood in front of the villa and watched Yas leave. Cui Jian looked around and asked, "Aren''t you going to use resources yet?" "The FBI can''t find the suspect, do you think I can?" Duanmu smiled and said, "But I smell a conspiracy. If we can''t find out who would spend more than 3 million US dollars to assassinate Zheng Yu, Then there is only one reason to assassinate Zheng Yu. Cui Jian was puzzled. Duanmu said: "Pay attention to a few key words, Internet darkness, discussion, and spread to the Internet." Cui Jian was even more puzzled. Duanmu said helplessly: "Do you think Huang Zhuiling doesn''t have his own forum? Why do killers'' conversations appear on the FBI''s surveillance website? Why does Huang Zhuiling post website activities in the forum? Why does this kind of thing spread? To the Internet? Cui Jian realized: "I understand, it is indeed a conspiracy." Duanmu smiled and said: "Although I warned you, you are smart if you can figure it out." Cui Jiandao: "Zheng Yu''s political opponents hope that the Internet will use this to dig out Zheng Liang and ruin Zheng Yu''s political career." Duanmu''s forehead pulsed with veins. He looked at Cui Jian without words and said, "If that''s the case, then he contacted the reporter anonymously and told the reporter that Zheng Yu was attacked and that the mastermind behind the attack was his son. Do you think the reporter will dig out Zheng Yu?" Bright?" Cui Jian seemed to understand: "No one has broken the news so far." Duanmu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes." Continue. Cui Jiandao: "If someone really wants to harm Zheng Yu, he only needs to break the news." Duanmu nodded again and affirmed: "That''s right." Cui Jian clapped his hands: "I understand, the target is not Zheng Yu, but Xuemi." Duanmu looked at Cui Jian for three seconds, then silently took out a cigar and said, "Go and change your shift. Gui Yi also has to have breakfast." Cui Jian: "What do you mean?" Duanmu concentrated on burning his cigar without even looking at him. (End of chapter) Chapter 375 encounter! Infiltrated [Truth Society] m Chapter 375 Encounter! Infiltrated [Truth Society] members! Looking at the two [Ice and Snow People] disguised as guards in front of them. Xia En suddenly knew something was wrong. There are guards who have been subdued by the [Ice and Snow People], which means that more [Ice and Snow People] must have left their rooms and want to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the research institute. And at this time. This [Ice and Snow Citizen] obviously hasn''t figured out the situation yet, thinking that An Bing is here to rescue them, and is still talking. "Miss Wan has betrayed the family and become King Xin''s lackey." "She must have the key to escape from the institute." An Bing''s expression was extremely strange. "Why do you think I''m here to rescue you?" This [people of ice and snow] was extremely stunned. "Didn''t you send the secret message to the institute to inform us to prepare for today''s jailbreak?" "Secret message...me?" An Bing felt extremely surprised. She was certain that her past self had never written any secret letters sent to the institute. Not to mention, helping the [people of ice and snow] here escape from prison. After all, An Bing at that time, not to mention the specific location of this research institute, might not even know that King Xin secretly kidnapped the [People of Ice and Snow]. And Xia En noticed another key word in this man''s words - "prison Break?" Or with help? Obviously, this person belongs to the opposition among the "People of Ice and Snow" and uses this underground research institute as a prison to imprison them. Moreover, these rebels seemed to have expected it - Today someone will break into the underground research institute and devise a jailbreak plan. Wait until the invaders arrive. Both parties cooperated internally and externally to get out of this underground research institute. This discovery seems to have overturned Xia En''s previous speculation. If the intruders were the [Truth Society] of later generations, they would obviously not send secret messages to these [People of Ice and Snow]. That is to say This invasion and the rebellion of the [People of Ice and Snow] are most likely things that happened in real history. At this time. Xia En suddenly remembered King Xin''s unusual attitude towards An Bing in concealing the truth. Could it be that...it was precisely because this rebellion led to the tragedy that King Xin kept silent about it? Thinking of this, Xia En looked at Xiaowan aside, with a thoughtful look on his face. If they were not present, Xiaowan might have been captured by the rebels at this time. In the eyes of these [people of ice and snow], Xiaowan, who worked for King Xin, has undoubtedly become a traitor. It seems self-evident how she will be treated in the future. Perhaps this is the reason why Xiaowan''s whereabouts are completely unknown. This is the truth in history! Many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. And at this time. The rebel finally realized something was wrong with the situation. A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he reached out directly to grab Xiaowan who was closest to him. He wanted to use her as a hostage to make Xia En and the two of them take action. But at this time, Xiaowan was obviously wary. She just stepped back to avoid the man''s attack. Xiaowan fired out several ice edges with her backhand, landing accurately on the opponent''s hands and feet. His skin and flesh were cut open, and the wounds were deep enough to reveal the bones. The man was temporarily incapacitated. Xia En glanced at Xiaowan in surprise. This little girl looked harmless, but she was merciless in her attacks, which made Xia En see a bit of An Bing. All I can say is, are they worthy of being sisters? "Traitor! You traitors of the family..." Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the man''s eyes turned red and he roared angrily. "You, like those guys from [Great Yan Kingdom], have polluted the pure ice and snow." "You...are all going to hell!" Immediately afterwards. Xia En noticed an increasingly violent wave of secret power from him, and his expression changed slightly. "No, he''s going to blow himself up." Fortunately at this time. Dark Ice''s cold secret power was instantly activated. The cold chill enveloped this man''s body, and his entire body Even the restless secret power in his body froze in an instant. This prevented an explosion from happening. Xiaowan on the side couldn''t help but look at An Bing in surprise. "Sister An Bing, when did your power become so strong?" Of course Xiaowan didn''t know that the An Bing in front of her was not the An Bing she was familiar with. An Bing has been sleeping in that imitation [Eternal Coffin] for thousands of years. Naturally, his strength is not what it used to be, and he is only a hair away from becoming a legend. Although he was very powerless against the legendary strongman, he was still able to defeat such a little guy. Now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. After dealing with these two people, Xiaowan quickened her pace and walked towards the depths of the passage, saying at the same time. "Sister An Bing, follow me." I have to say, its exactly what Xiaowan said. The terrain within the institute is complex and not only divided into different areas, but each area is also layered. And at this time. The entire area A is in chaos. Although the broadcast told non-combatants to return to their rooms as soon as possible. However, many people are originally at work, and chaos can easily occur just on the way to evacuation. Not to mention. One after another, [People of Ice and Snow] left their rooms and attacked the guards in the passage. certainly. Not all [People of Ice and Snow] side with the rebels. On the way forward. Xia En saw some [Ice and Snow People] helping to guard against the rebels. However, it is precisely because of this situation that it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy among the [People of Ice and Snow]. It is difficult to tell whether the person next to you is a companion or an enemy. Making the situation become increasingly confusing. soon. Xiaowan met up with several real institute guards. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, An Bing has brought back the veil at this time. Therefore, the guard''s scrutinizing eyes just glanced at the two of them, then looked at Xiaowan again and said respectfully. "Director Wan, you are here." At this time, Xiaowan was not as gentle and amiable as she appeared in front of An Bing, but instead showed a bit of resolute temperament. She asked directly with a cold face. "How is the situation now?" The guard of the institute replied. "About one-third of the [Ice and Snow People] participated in the riot." "There are still some people who are hiding in their rooms and not coming out." "The rest are fighting alongside us." "Only a third?" Hearing this, Xiaowan couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It now appears that her persuasion and education during this period were quite effective. At least it made many [Ice and Snow People] put down their hostility towards King Xin. Even if he didn''t become their help, at least... he didn''t join the rebel side. No matter what, they are all Xiaowan''s tribe. If she didn''t have to, she wouldn''t want to fight with them. Suddenly, Xiaowan remembered something and asked. "Where did Director Shad go? Why didn''t he see anyone else?" The guard replied: "Director Shad has already led people to the central control room." "As long as all the valves in Area A are closed in the control room, the rebels will not be able to escape from Area A." After hearing this, Xiaowan''s expression changed. "What? Who did he go with?" The guard replied: "Besides him, there are three [Black Flame Walkers]." Xiaowan murmured: "Closing the passage in Area A clearly requires holding the identity credentials of two supervisors at the same time." "But why didn''t Shad notify me on the radio?" The guard was naturally confused and didn''t understand what Xiaowan meant. But An Bing on the side was keenly aware of something. "You mean?" "I thought it was strange before." Xiao Wan said: "At this time, the tribesmen should be locked in the room. Guess right, why was the ban on the door opened?" "Now that I think about it, I''m afraid the invaders are not just the [people of ice and snow]." The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it! Thinking of this, Xiaowan didn''t hesitate and rushed towards the central control room in Area A. Xia En and An Bing naturally followed closely. The central control room is not far away. But along the way. Xia En clearly felt that the level of chaos within the institute was increasing. Under the flashing red light. Traces of the battle can be seen almost everywhere. The walls and floors were full of pits, with depressions caused by huge force and the residual aura of secret power. Occasionally, you can still see a few pools of scarlet blood. In the corner, there was the corpse of an [Ice and Snow Citizen] or a guard lying. From time to time, gunshots and screams could be heard from the distant passage. There is no doubt that this was a real rebellion. In a corner unknown to Xia En and others, fierce battles and sacrifices are taking place every moment. This is true in the living area. In the experimental areas where precious experimental records are left, the situation will be even more tragic. only. What makes Xia En a little confused is What is the identity of the intruder? Although the invaders assumed the name of Dark Ice, it was obvious that they were probably not the real "People of Ice and Snow". The [people of ice and snow] who came to rescue this place probably just had a reason. Just to cause greater chaos so that they can take advantage of the chaos. After killing several more [People of Ice and Snow] blocking the way, Xia En and the others finally arrived at the door of the so-called central control room. But the ones guarding the door were not the guards inside the institute. But three [Black Flame Walkers] wearing black robes. As soon as she saw them, Xiaowan stepped forward and asked. "Where is Shad? Let him come to me." The three [Black Flame Walkers] looked at each other and walked up without saying a word. Their hostility was already shown in that silent movement. So Xia En also took a step forward, his body already in a state of combat readiness. And after seeing him. One of them couldn''t help but exclaimed. "Shane?" Xia En was also surprised and frowned suddenly. In this era, there is obviously no one who can directly call him by his name. That is to say. The [Black Flame Walker] in front of them is surprisingly an outsider who has sneaked into the [Great Flame] just like them! on the other hand. The other party''s voice was completely unfamiliar to Xia En. It means that he is not one of the ten people involved in the infiltration plan. Then, their identities will be clear at a glance Truth Society. Xia En also didn''t expect that he would discover members of the [Truth Society] in later generations in such an unexpected situation. But since he bumped into it, what he had to do was simple. The next moment. Xia En''s figure pulled out an afterimage in the narrow passage, right in front of the members of the [Truth Society]. The astonishing speed was like a flash of black light. Wait until everyone reacts. Shane had already locked the man''s throat. at the same time. An Bing didn''t hesitate at all and attacked the remaining two people. Unexpectedly. The combat power of these three [Black Flame Walkers] is actually extremely weak. Not to mention the seventh-level legend, it probably hasn''t even reached the fifth level. In front of Xia En and the two of them, they naturally had no ability to resist. Immediately, Shane took off the hood of the man who had exclaimed earlier. Under the hood, there was indeed an unfamiliar face. However, he is clearly in this desperate situation. There was still no fear on this man''s face, but only a hint of mockery. "Captain Xia En of [Black Swan], I didn''t expect to see you here." Xia En raised his eyebrows. "You [Truth Society] have indeed arrived in the [Great Flame]." "What is your purpose?" Faced with Xia En''s question, the man just chuckled. "Do you think I can tell?" "You can try any torture you can think of, even kill me here." "But in the end, you get nothing." Xia En suddenly frowned. There are indeed many people in the [Truth Society] who are willing to devote their lives to [the truth]. But not every member has such characteristics. It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. And the feeling this strange man gave Xia En was - Even if I kill him here, he won''t really die. At this time. Xia En''s [Peeping Eyes] suddenly reacted. [The projection of members of the "Truth Society" in Dayan''s memory. [Erasing this physical body cannot truly kill him in reality. Seeing these words, Xia En suddenly realized. Unlike the action members like them who directly use their bodies to enter the [Great Flame], the people of the [Truth Society] took another approach. That is... Their thoughts and wills were directly projected onto the characters created by the memory of [Great Flame]. Just like the third apostle in the promotion ritual of [Pirate Principality] - Tiffany. It was her replacement by a later descendant of the [Truth Society] that opened the door for the [Truth Society] to go to the promotion ritual. To put it simply and straightforwardly. Shane and others are "wearing." The [Truth Society] members are just "soul-piercing." Moreover, even if this body dies, it will not affect their body. This is why this man dared to say such things. Likewise. I''m afraid it''s for this reason. Only the [Truth Society] can ignore the quota limit of the so-called [Great Flame]. Quietly replacing these [Black Flame Walker] researchers with their own people to achieve some unknown purpose of their own. It can be seen from this that the [Truth Society] indeed has extremely profound attainments in the fields of soul, thinking, and memory. Unfortunately, they did not use this technology in the right place. While Shane was interrogating this man. Xiaowan walked to the door of the control room. (End of chapter) Chapter 376 Cooperation across time Chapter 376 Cooperation across time at this time Xiaowan took out her ID card and swiped it on a device at the door. However, the door that should have been opened remained closed. Obviously, this door has been locked in a special way from the inside. "Director Shad, you''re in there, right?" Xiaowan asked in a deep voice. But there was no response from the other side of the door. Seeing this, Xia En stepped forward and prepared to use violence to open the door. But at this time, Xiaowan stopped him. "The door to the central room has unique restrictions. Forcibly opening it may cause the control system to lock itself." This design was originally designed to prevent foreign enemies from forcibly breaking in. However, the designer obviously did not expect that there would be a hidden traitor among the supervisors of Area A. At this time. Shad in the room seemed to finally hear the movement outside the door. He sneered: "Director Wan, you are finally here." "However, you are already too late. I have already activated the self-locking program in the central room, plus this wall is enough to resist the attack of the legendary strong man." "It''s absolutely impossible for you to break in from outside the room." "Now, as long as I crack the permissions of the control system, I can open the passage to the restricted area of ??the research institute." Shad''s tone was full of pride: "At that time, whether it is the bronze dragon or King Xin''s research results so far." "Everything will be in our pocket!" "But you can only watch this scene happen." Bronze dragon. Research results. Upon hearing these words, Xia En''s mind whirled. He suddenly noticed something strange that he had ignored before. If this Director Shad was also a member of the later [Truth Society], then he would never have said such a thing. Because, everything inside [Great Flame] is something that has disappeared in the past. That bronze dragon is just an afterimage that exists in the past. People from the [Truth Society] cannot bring it into reality no matter how hard they try. The fact that Shad would say this means that he is actually part of this memory scene. And they are not members of the [Truth Society] who have infiltrated this place. But he happened to mention the purpose of seizing research results, and also reached cooperation with later members of the [Truth Society]. So, his identity is actually very clear This Director Shad is a member of the [Truth Society] in history! In this way, it exactly corresponds to Xia En''s previous speculation. This invasion of the institute was indeed an event that occurred in real history. And its initiator is none other than the [Truth Society] of this era! In other words, they are the subordinates of the [Omniscient Sage]. After all, in this era, the name "Truth Society" may not have been born yet. Its not difficult to know from Shads mouth. The purpose of their coming here was the research results of King Xin and the bronze dragon that was sleeping underground. The [Truth Society] of later generations used these past colleagues to put their consciousness into the [Great Flame], thus achieving an unprecedented situation - Members of the [Truth Society] in the past and future cooperate with each other to achieve their respective goals. This kind of thing sounds a bit outrageous even to Xia En. I have to say. The members of the [Truth Society] are indeed a group of geniuses. However, there is always a thin line between genius and madness. Moreover, the destructive power that a genius without moral constraints can cause is far greater than that of a mediocre person. However, there was one more thing that Xia En didn''t want to understand. This research institute was clearly built through the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society]. In theory. The [Truth Society] should know the research results of the institute, so why go to such trouble to rob them? At this time, Xiaowan also had similar doubts. she questioned. "Director Shad, why did you do this?" "For such a long time, King Xin has treated you well, right? Why did you betray him?" In response, Sade just sneered. "If he is willing to hand over the final research results to us honestly, then of course we don''t need to start this rebellion." "But... the real treacherous person is the salary king you call him!" "It was clearly agreed at the beginning that the results of the institute would be shared, but in the end, they took precautions against us." "He even replaced the core project researchers with his own confidants, but I was transferred to this living area to be this unknown supervisor." "And now, we''re just taking back what''s ours." After hearing these words, Xiaowan couldn''t help but look surprised. "How could..." "There must be some misunderstanding!" "It doesn''t matter, it doesn''t matter anymore." Shad sneered. "Just wait outside for everything to settle." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but frown. Honestly. He didn''t particularly care about whether Shad could take away the so-called research results. after all. Even Shad himself is just an afterimage created by the memory of [Great Flame]. What if the [Truth Society] in this memory successfully obtained the research results? Maybe, something like this has happened in real history. What really made Xia En wary. What is the purpose of these members of the [Truth Society] who have infiltrated into the [Great Flame]? Could it be related to the research results mentioned by Shad? One more thing. Where is the [Great Flame] node that Xia En and others are looking for located in this underground research institute? Suddenly, Xia En suddenly remembered the restricted area of ??the research institute mentioned by Shad. Perhaps the answers he was looking for were all there. However, even if Xia En wanted to go to the restricted area of ??the institute, he couldn''t just watch the members of the [Truth Society] get there first. You must take the initiative in the entire matter into your own hands. But now. The gate did seem to be blocking them. At this time, the captured man on the side also taunted. "Captain Shane, stop resisting in vain." "You can''t stop us." "Yeah?" Just then, a familiar voice sounded. An elegant old woman wearing a black gauze skirt appeared in the corridor at some point. And the moment I saw him. The members of the [Truth Society] who had previously shown disdain suddenly changed their expressions. A flash of fear flashed deep in his eyes. So much so that his voice trembled a little. "Mrs. Serenity..." The visitor was naturally Jane, whom Xia En was familiar with. Carles, who was made of machinery and wore brass armor, was behind Jane. Red light flashed under her nails, and white steam released from the joints. The appearance of such a strange pair of combinations clearly creates a sense of oppression in this underground passage. Xiao Wan on the side couldn''t help but change her face slightly. In response, Xia En''s face showed a hint of joy. "Jane, Carles, are you here?" Apparently, after a rebellion broke out within the institute. Jane and Carles did not stay there stupidly, but took advantage of the chaos and came to Xia En and the others with the help of their perception of the [Thread of Destiny]. "Captain Shane. After nodding gracefully to Xia En, Jane looked at the man who just named her identity code, with a little surprise in her eyes. "You actually recognize me." "This is not uncommon among the new generation of [Truth Society] members." Compared with when facing Xia En, the attitude of the captured man was obviously much more humble. This humility comes from the fear of Jane''s past deeds. He lowered his head and said: "I have read a few of your works by chance, madam." I was really shocked by the concepts and perspectives. I didnt expect to see you here. "No need for compliments." The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it! Jian said calmly: "My articles are considered deviant within the [Truth Society], and not many people are interested in them." "Compared to this..." With that said, Jane looked at the closed metal door on the side. "Captain Shane, do you want to open this door?" Shane nodded and said, "Yes." "Then leave it to me." After saying that, Jane took out a prism-like instrument. His slender fingertips tapped on it quickly, as if he was inputting some instructions. immediately. A waterfall of codes and numbers washed past the prism. Finally, Jane gave it another gentle tap. There was a "di" sound. "Dear administrator, please come in." Along with the prompt sound, the precision mechanical door opened. The scene inside the central control room was exposed to everyone. Supervisor Shad, who looks like a skinny monkey, was working on a crack in front of the operating table, with nervous excitement on his face. But this time. The door to the room suddenly opened, causing his body to freeze. A look of disbelief immediately appeared on Shad''s face. "How is that possible?" "This door has obviously implemented a self-locking program. How did you open it?" Jane''s expression was normal. "Since it is a program, there will be loopholes that can be cracked." "Furthermore, it seems that the procedures of the old era are not much more advanced than those of the new era." Sometimes, the simpler and older the mechanism, the more reliable it is. For Jane, this kind of program-controlled door is full of loopholes. But if it was really just an ordinary iron door, Xia En would have used violence to break into it. At this time. Xia En didn''t care what Shad''s reaction was, he flashed and came directly in front of him. Shad was just a research member, and his combat power was very weak. Naturally, he was subdued by Xia En without any resistance. Then, Jane looked at the console in front of her. I have to say. The console itself is very much in the style of the [Truth Society]. The huge screen, silver-gray desktop and metallic buttons give people the feeling of being on a science fiction film set. at this time. The cracking progress on the screen has reached 90%, which shows that Xia En and others arrived in time. If it had been a little later, I''m afraid it would have been like what Shad said, with members of the [Truth Society] taking the lead in breaking into the restricted area of ??the institute. After stopping the cracking progress, Jane turned around and asked. "Captain Shane, what should we do now?" Hearing this, Xia En first looked at Xiaowan who was not far away. At this time, Xiaowan obviously had not recovered from the series of changes. And because of the special looks of Jane and Carles, as well as the unfamiliar terms they mentioned. The girl''s expression was obviously a bit wary and uneasy. Fortunately, An Bing was by his side, allowing her to relax a little. "Don''t be afraid, Xiaowan." "They are my companions." An Bing said softly: "As for why we are here, the reasons behind it are too complicated and cannot be explained for a while." "But one thing you can be sure of is that I will always be on your side." "Now, I hope you can help us go to the so-called forbidden research area." "There''s one thing we have to get." Xiaowan was not an indecisive person, so she nodded quickly after thinking for a moment. "Okay, I understand." "But before that, I want to block the exit of Area A. Please wait for a moment." During the communication between An Bing and Xiaowan. Xia En looked at the three [Truth Society] members who were captured not far away. "Captain Xia En, what are you going to do with them?" Jian Fa asked. "Ms. Jane, actually they..." Xia Enyan briefly and comprehensively explained the situation of these [Truth Society] members to the prosecutor, as well as his speculations. After listening, a little surprise appeared on Jane''s usually calm face. "A projection of consciousness and thinking?" I didnt expect that the [Truth Societys] research in this field has reached such a level. Immediately, Jane couldn''t help but frown and analyzed. "Since this rebellion was originally started by the [Truth Society] in history, the number of people they infiltrated would probably be extremely exaggerated." "Perhaps someone has already gone to the so-called restricted area from other areas." Each of the three areas of ABC has its own central control room. Obviously, there is more than one way to the restricted area. Xia En also realized this possibility, his expression was a little solemn, and he felt a sense of urgency in his heart. soon. Jane also asked the same question as him. "We came to the underground research institute to eliminate the node of [Great Flame], so what is the purpose of [Truth Society]?" Jane looked at the captured man with a thoughtful look on his face. The man lowered his head, but still refused to answer the question. Moreover, because they are only consciousness projections, ordinary torture is obviously ineffective against them. Jane murmured. "However, even if they are projections of thinking, there must be some connection between them and the soul of the original body." "It''s like the [Thread of Destiny] will be equally entangled in their souls, and will not change due to the original body and the clone." "...Like [Thread of Destiny]?" After hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. Yes, even if it is just a projection of consciousness, there must be a connection with their souls. It''s like Xia En''s [Projection Body] is also a part of him. Just find that connection. It can fundamentally cause harm to their souls. It just so happens that Xia En has the [Peeping Eye] that can see through this connection. Thinking of this, Xia En didn''t hesitate, and looked at the man with a faint light in his eyes. (End of chapter) Chapter 377 [Re-engraved Great Flame] and [Eternal C Chapter 377 [Re-engraved Great Flame] and [Eternal Coffin] In an instant. Shane''s vision was flooded by a sea of ??points and lines. With the experience of opening the [Peeping Eye of Secrets] vision several times before. He was already somewhat familiar with this scene. Now, what Xia En has to do is to find the connection between this member of the [Truth Society] and his body among the chaotic dots and lines. Shane first eliminated the threads wrapped around his body. Those points and lines are just the key points of this consciousness projection. Even if it is destroyed, it will not affect him in reality. As if aware of the target requirements that Xia En was looking for, [Peeping Eyes of Secrets] began to clear away the redundant lines one by one. The entire field of vision suddenly became much emptier. Those things hidden under the complicated threads soon appeared clearly before Xia En''s eyes. Just a moment. Xia En found a few particularly obvious threads leading to the outside world. That''s when Xia En''s eyes fell on these lines. The man from the [Truth Society] was vaguely aware of it, and a strong ominous premonition suddenly arose deep in his heart. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia En, saying with a mixture of shock and anger. "You...what did you do to me?" Shane glanced at him unexpectedly. "Huh? Did you actually feel it?" It seems that this man has a very keen sense of danger. But it just so happened that only when he sensed danger would he feel fear and honestly tell Xia En what he wanted to know. Thoughts were swirling in Xia En''s mind, his face remained calm, and he laughed. "It seems that you have noticed it." "Even if this is just a projection, I can still use it to directly destroy your soul." Hearing this, the man who had previously acted indifferent to his own life and death, letting Xia En do whatever he wanted, couldn''t help but change his expression. He said with a sharp look and an internal expression. "impossible." "[Butterfly Dream] is an absolutely safe dream technology." "No matter what you do, you can''t hurt my body." Butterfly Dream. Dream technology. These two words made Xia En suddenly wake up. He had previously wondered how members of the [Truth Society] projected their consciousness into the [Great Flame]. Now that I hear it, the answer is undoubtedly clear. That is... Dreamland! In [Seven Seas World], there is such a legend - This world itself is just the dream of an unimaginably large butterfly. And when someone dreams of this butterfly, it wakes up from its sleep. The whole world will burst and disappear like a bubble. Of course, this is just a legend. But it has some subtle similarities with the "Zhuang Sheng''s Dream Butterfly" that Xia En knew. The name [Butterfly Dream] probably comes from this reason. Obviously, the [Truth Society]s infiltration relied on this so-called dream technology. Bring a person''s subconscious mind in a dream into [Da Yan]''s body. At this time, their bodies are undoubtedly in sleep. Even if they were fatally injured in the dream, they would just wake up from the dream. That''s why he said that this is an absolutely safe dream technology. However, Xia En''s [Peeping Eyes of Secrets] won''t care about what you do. As long as he finds the key thread leading to their souls, he can cause real harm to them. at the same time. Jane on the side also noticed the glint in Xia En''s eyes. There was a little surprise in his expression. Even she may not necessarily assert that she can cause real harm to members of the [Truth Society] who are in the [Butterfly Dream] state. However, Jane had a feeling that Xia En''s eyes seemed to be able to do this. There seemed to be some kind of regular power hidden in those eyes. Before entering [Great Flame], Captain Xia En seemed not to be able to master this power. In such a short period of time, Captain Shane actually made another breakthrough? However, this was the critical moment, and Jane did not ask Xia En. The time to speak. Shane did not stop searching for that crucial line. With the stimulation of secret power. There was a slight sting in Xia En''s eyes. Obviously, opening such a field of vision for a long time will bring a lot of burden to the [Peeping Eye of Secrets]. Fortunately, at this time, the remaining interfering line segments were finally eliminated by Xia En. Xia En''s eyes fell on one of the lines emitting white light. It is different from other lines. This line gives a feeling of being "alive" and has a different aura to the man. That probably comes from his body. "Found you!" Xia En''s eyes lit up, and he tapped the invisible line with his big hand. "ah!" The "thread" that held his soul was being fiddled with, and the man couldn''t help but let out a cry of pain, and looked at Xia En with more and more fear. He murmured in disbelief. "You actually really..." Xia En said calmly: "Now, you should believe that I do have the ability to kill you, right?" "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to [Great Yan]?" At this time, the [Truth Society] man finally began to show struggle on his face. They relied on the [Butterfly Dream] technology before. Even if he is caught by the enemy, his life will not be in danger. But at this time, Xia En''s appearance undoubtedly broke their cognition and completely threatened their names. The three of them had to choose between their lives and keeping the secret. If they are the core members of the [Truth Society]. For example, those in the top 100 of truth numbers may choose the latter. But after all, the three of them are just ordinary members of the [Truth Society]. Naturally, it is difficult for them to regard death as home and sacrifice their lives for the organization. Just then. Another member of the [Truth Society] suddenly burst out with an aura of secret power. But this secret power was not used to attack Xia En and others, but directly stabbed his own throat. His purpose is clear. That is to commit suicide before Shane kills him. As long as they can wake up from this dream, they will naturally survive. However, his actions obviously couldn''t be hidden from Jane, who had been staring at them closely. Jane stretched out her hand gently. The mysterious power disappeared invisibly, and even the aftermath no longer existed. "Want to commit suicide early and return to reality?" A coldness flashed across Jane''s face: "Not a bad idea." "It''s just that you can''t even commit suicide in front of me." These words completely plunged the three of them into despair. The last remaining person hesitated for a moment and asked. "If we tell you, will you let us go back alive?" Jane replied. "Of course, I guarantee it in the name of my [Mrs. Jingjing]." After hearing this, the faces of the three people showed some relief. The man who was captured first sighed: "In that case, I will tell you." "Actually, there are two tasks ordered from above." "One is to assist former members of the [Truth Society] to open the passage to the restricted area." "There are already other combat members waiting near the passage. As long as the passage is opened, they can enter it as soon as possible." "The other thing is to collect as much information and data as possible within the institute." The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it! "Collect information?" Xia En frowned slightly: "What kind of information is collected specifically?" Now that the man had made the beginning, he no longer had any psychological burden when explaining later, so he simply spoke in one breath. "For example, the topographic map inside this institute and the materials used to construct the research." "There is also information about some well-known researchers and powerful people within the institute." "This is" After listening, Xia En not only did not understand the intention of the [Truth Society], but became even more confused. Because this kind of thing is simply like some kind of weird archaeological behavior. It''s like something done by an archaeologist who is very interested in history. Not to mention whether there is such a person in the [Truth Society], who went to great lengths to come to the [Great Flame] without telling the federal military, just to conduct archaeological research. Its weird no matter how you think about it, right? But soon, Xia En remembered something. The original [Undertaker] [Observer], Edward, Joey''s father, had done similar things! They went to the [Promotion Ritual] in the secret sea to collect information about [Pirate King] Augustine. Moreover, such instances have happened more than once. These two things look extremely similar. And Xia En already knows that a plan of the [Truth Society] in recent years is to use a machine called [Truth] to reproduce the most amazing geniuses who have existed in various eras in history. So, could they have a similar purpose in collecting information inside [Great Yan]? Now that there are ready-made prisoners in front of us. Xia En simply asked his question directly. The man was stunned for a moment: "I didn''t expect that you even knew about that plan." "Although the superiors didn''t say it clearly, we all guessed..." "Their true purpose may be to try to recreate the [Great Yan Kingdom] in history." "What?" At some point, An Bing came to them. After hearing these words, An Bing couldn''t help but screamed in surprise. "What does this mean?" The man glanced at her, but he didn''t know the identity of this strange woman, so he just continued. "It is...to create a space that is almost exactly the same as the [Great Yan Kingdom] in the past." "All people and things will be the same as they were in history." "You can think of it as a real version of [Great Yan Kingdom]. You can even live there until the end of time without worrying about being destroyed by [Great Yan]''s awakening." "Recreate a [Great Yan Kingdom]..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but show a little shock. This purpose can only be described as incredible. But Xia En somehow felt that the [Truth Society] did have such ability. Moreover, the current Great Flame provided them with extremely precious and realistic first-hand information. As long as we copy [Great Yan]''s memories one by one, maybe... we can really do this? But here''s the thing. [Truth Society] Why do you do this? It is impossible that there are still old people who have never forgotten the [Great Yan Kingdom] at the top of the [Truth Society], right? Xia En had a vague feeling. Collecting information about [Great Flame] is only an incidental goal of [Truth Society]. Their real purpose is still to seize something within the restricted area of ??the institute. It''s just because the levels of these three [Truth Society] members are too low that they didn''t know. only. For An Bing on the side, recreating the [Great Yan Kingdom] in his memory has extraordinary significance. Those people she once valued, including Xiaowan in front of her, will truly appear in front of her. It''s not just a dream that can wake up at any time. Therefore, after hearing these words, her expression changed several times and she fell into thinking. Xia En glanced at her slightly worriedly, but continued to ask the three people about some details of the [Truth Society]''s operation, and learned that- [Truth Society] members have visited the royal palace in Fanyan City once before. But before he could do anything, King Xin discovered him and forcibly expelled him from the memory scene where the palace was located. This is undoubtedly connected with Xia En''s previous experience. at last. Xia En asked again: "Do you really not know what the [Truth Society] wants to seize?" "You should know what will happen if you don''t tell the truth." Jian Zheng on the side was watching them faintly, with runes appearing in his eyes, obviously opening up the secret technique of distinguishing truth from lies. Seeing this, the man paused and said. "We really don''t know the specific purpose." "But I''ve heard a name mentioned by my superiors..." Shane asked: "What is it?" "[Eternal Coffin]." The moment he heard the name, Xia En''s expression suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at An Bing not far away. Not long ago, An Bing woke up from the imitation [Eternal Coffin]. And since there is a replica of the [Eternal Coffin], it means that King Xin must have researched its true form. Then, its body may be hidden inside this research institute. But. Why is [Eternal Coffin] connected with [Truth Society] again? -In Xia En''s knowledge, the imitation [Eternal Coffin] seems to only have the ability to make others sleep for thousands of years without the body decaying. Although this ability is rare, people from the [Truth Society] should not take it so seriously. Could it be said. Is there some secret hidden in the original [Eternal Coffin] that he doesn''t know about? At this time, Xiaowan walked over. "Sister An Bing, Mr. Xia En, I have finished handling it." "Now we can leave for the restricted area." Shane nodded: "I understand." Then, he looked at Jane beside him with questioning eyes. "Ms. Jane, what should we do with the three of them?" Jane said calmly: "Kill them all." Hearing this, the three of them immediately opened their eyes in shock. "Mrs. Serenity? You!" Jian said calmly: "Now I am no longer Mrs. Jingjing." "This name naturally cannot restrain me." "Besides, as an enemy, I will not let you bring my news back to the [Truth Society]." "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself." Xia En glanced at Jane in surprise. Obviously, Jane is not a pedantic person. She also has her own flexible way of dealing with enemies. Therefore, Xia En did not hesitate and directly used the [Peeping Eyes] to kill the three of them completely, and then followed Xiao Wan towards the restricted area of ??the research institute. (End of chapter) Chapter 378 【Taboo experiment】 Chapter 378 [Taboo Experiment] With Xiaowan, the supervisor, leading the way, Xia En and others avoided many detours. It didn''t take long. They came to the deepest wall in Area A. But here, Xia En didn''t see other people from the [Truth Society]. Thinking about it, after discovering that the channel has not been opened for a long time. They also realized that there was some deviation in the action plan of Area A. So, go to other areas to continue the action. This discovery did not make Xia En feel much relieved. Compared with the enemies who appeared directly in the light, the shadows hiding in the dark made him feel more at ease. Moreover, this also proved Xia Ens previous guess from the side - There are definitely more than one group of [Truth Society] members who have infiltrated the research institute. Perhaps, at this time, they have entered the restricted area of ??the institute from other areas. It seems that they can see the urgency of Xia En and others. After arriving at this wall, Xiaowan didn''t hesitate at all. She took out her and Shad''s identity documents and lightly pressed them somewhere on the wall. "laugh-" Accompanied by the sound of steam releasing pressure. Precision gears and levers are constantly at work. The originally tight walls opened to both sides. A passage leading deeper underground suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The dark entrance is like the mouth of a monster, seeming to devour everyone who comes. at the same time. A biting chill surged out of the passage, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees. Xiaowan said: "This is the restricted area of ??the research institute." "However, even I only entered the restricted area once before it was fully built." "Now that so much time has passed, the terrain in the restricted area must have changed a lot." "It is more likely that there will be unforeseen dangers." Xiaowan looked at Xia En and others seriously. "Honestly, there''s a very strong defensive presence inside the penalty area." "I don''t think those intruders can successfully reach the deepest part of the restricted area and take what they want." "Let me confirm again, do you really want to enter the restricted area?" Xia En nodded without any hesitation. "Yes, there are reasons why we have to do this." "Oh well." Xiaowan sighed softly, knowing that she could not dissuade Xia En and his party, so she simply said. "Then let us go together." "As for what I know about the restricted area, we''ll talk as we go." Subsequently. Xia En and his group walked towards the depths of the passage. On the way, Xia En asked: "What exactly is inside this restricted area?" Xiaowan answered. "I have said before that those of us [people of ice and snow] who voluntarily cooperate with the experiment are conducting less dangerous research." "Sometimes it even just requires regular blood draws and the delivery of ice-cold secret power." "However, for those prisoners who have committed capital crimes, the intensity of the experiment will be greatly increased." There are even some forms of experimentation that are considered taboo. Xiaowan hesitated for a moment and then said. "For example...inject the blood of the bronze dragon into the body of the [people of ice and snow]." "Thereby creating an existence that possesses the secret power of ice and masters the laws of time and space." "Another example is the use of special drugs to stimulate the blood vessels in the [people of ice and snow], allowing them to achieve a certain sense of return to their ancestors, thereby mastering the more original laws of ice and cold." Hearing these words, An Bing''s expression changed slightly. But he didn''t interrupt. Xiaowan said: "Of course, the failure rate of such a radical experiment is horribly high, so many failed experimental subjects were born." "Some of these experimental subjects have lost normal human thinking and reason, and have turned into monsters who only know **** and destroy." "But even so, their existence itself is of great help to the institute''s research." "So, the experiment failed." "But King Xin did not kill these failed experimental subjects immediately. Instead, he imprisoned them in the deepest restricted area and observed their status regularly." "Use this to optimize the direction of the next experiment." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized. Behind any research, there are bound to be countless failures. Only by learning from these failures can we find the path to success. The failed products imprisoned in the restricted area are undoubtedly part of this path. Moreover, although they are failures, it does not mean that they are weak. Quite the opposite. After undergoing forbidden experiments, their strength may far exceed that of their former selves. Especially those beings who have been injected with bronze dragon blood are likely to have some abilities beyond common sense. Even if the price is losing one''s sanity as a human being. Not to mention. In this underground icy environment, it is equivalent to the training holy land of [Ice and Snow People]. Staying here for a long time will make their total secret power grow greatly. This is the source of danger in Xiaowan''s words. Xiaowan continued. "Moreover, there are some special [Ice and Snow People] imprisoned in the restricted area." "They are the elders with advanced realms in the clan, and they are also excellent experimental materials." "Because they are much stronger than ordinary prisoners, they are also concentrated in the depths of the restricted area." After hearing these words, Xia En roughly understood the significance of the restricted area to the institute. If we say, the entire institute is equivalent to a huge prison. Then, the restricted area is probably a "sky prison" type of existence. The most dangerous and vicious prisoners and experimental subjects are all imprisoned here. So, Xia En asked again. "Since these beings are imprisoned, are there any protective measures in place in the restricted area?" "Of course there are." Xiaowan replied decisively. "Each experimental subject is equipped with a device that extracts their secret power at all times, ensuring that they are always in a weak state." "There are also automatic sensor micro-bombs tied to their vital parts. They will detonate directly as soon as they leave their cells." "Moreover, there are two legendary strong men on standby inside the penalty area." "They are also the last and most reliable defense force in this institute." These words made Xia En feel a lot more at ease. Think about it too. Since it is a place where the most dangerous prisoners are held, the most stringent protective measures are naturally in place. King Xin probably had this in mind when he designed this area. But that''s it. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from deep in the passage. Xia En''s expression suddenly changed slightly, and the group of people quickly walked down and soon reached the end of the passage. It was different from the warning red light flashing above. The lights in the restricted area are monotonous silver-gray, like eternal ice. It seems like it will never change. While being cool. It also gives people a dead atmosphere. For the prisoners here. This kind of light will only intensify the despair in their hearts. Not only that, the temperature here is significantly colder than other areas of the institute. There was even a thin layer of ice on the metal wall. The air exhaled by Xia En and others also turned into clouds of white gas. The body temperature should already be around zero. This is partly due to the environment of this area. On the other hand, its because The prisoners imprisoned here contain a large amount of icy secret power. Just a little bit of escaping is enough to make it so cold here. Soon, Xia En looked towards the direction where the muffled sound came from. I saw a cell not far away, and the door of the cell was open. A cold corpse fell in front of the door. The whole head shattered like a watermelon. Red and white things were scattered on the ground, and they had gradually frozen at low temperatures. It''s obvious. 69BookBar This man wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the cage, but neglected the lethal device around his neck, which was how he ended up in this situation. only After Xia En glanced at the corpse, he couldn''t help but narrow his eyes. He discovered that there was a thin layer of scales growing on this person''s body, and his blood was a faint azure color. It is not difficult to guess that this person is the failed experiment in Xiaowan''s mouth. While Shane was observing the body. Xiaowan looked at the open cell door and couldn''t help but look puzzled. "Strange...why is this door open?" "In emergency martial law situations, the doors of restricted areas should be locked." Jane next to her frowned and said after examining it for a moment. "The door here shows signs of being remotely cracked." Maybe the [Truth Society] people want to release all these prisoners in order to create chaos, right? Hearing this, Xia En immediately became vigilant. "[The Truth Society] has broken into the restricted area?" Jane replied: "It should be." "It''s just that the situation with this door is more like the central control program has been modified." "As a result, the doors of all the cells in the restricted area were opened, and some prisoners may have escaped." Although King Xin also set up other preventive measures, such as bombs on the necks of the prisoners. However, for some experimental subjects who were injected with dragon blood and transformed their bodies. Such a device may not kill them outright. Coupled with their own self-healing ability, it may really be possible to escape. "roar!!" As if to prove Xia En''s conjecture, a roar suddenly came from the shadows in the distance. Immediately, a blood-red figure with ice-blue color rushed towards Dark Ice at the end of the crowd like an arrow from a string. At this time, An Bing was still a little distracted because of the words of the [Truth Society] members. When he heard the roar, his reaction was unexpectedly slow. She quickly raised her hand, trying to freeze the figure in front of her. But what surprised An Bing. When his all-conquering icy secret power landed on this figure, it actually did not freeze it into an ice sculpture. But it just makes its movement stagnate slightly. "What?" A flash of astonishment flashed across An Bing''s face, and he quickly changed his moves. But at this moment, the blood shadow was already rushing towards her face. clang! At this critical moment, Carles took a step forward. The arm made of steel was placed in front of the opponent, tightly blocking its closed mouth. Only then did everyone see clearly. What attacked them was a half-wolf, half-dragon monster. Its upper body resembles the "West Wind Frost Wolf" on the "West Wind Plateau". The huge wolf head, sharp teeth, and pointed horns on the head are very obvious features. But its lower body looked like a strange snake covered with scales. Not only does it have ferocious edges and corners, its tail is also constantly slapping the ground. It looks extremely weird and has an indescribable sense of violation. It''s like a "stitch monster" in some kind of science fiction work. And at this time. The monster''s mouth kept closing, but it was still unable to pierce Carles'' hard armor. On the contrary, its teeth were broken bit by bit under the huge force, and it couldn''t help but let out a whimper of pain. Then, without hesitation, Carles punched the wolf monster in the jaw. The surging power poured out, knocking it out and resolving the crisis. Xiaowan immediately looked at An Bing who was attacked with concern. "Sister An Bing, are you okay?" "I''m fine." An Bing waved her hand, with some confusion on her face. "This monster... was just immune to my secret power of ice?" Xiaowan explained. "Most of the experimental subjects in the restricted area have experienced the transformation of the ice-cold secret power and have already developed antibodies to it." "It''s very difficult to damage it with that kind of force." On the other side. Xia En took a closer look at this monster that looked like a hybrid between a dragon and a wolf, and frowned slightly. It can be seen that there is a huge gap in the monster''s neck. There was blood flowing out of it. Just, even so. This monster still has extremely strong ferocity and vitality, and it is obvious that it will not die in a short period of time. This is obviously the impact of the dragon blood transformation. Moreover, judging from the speed and power it showed just now, it is impressively above the sixth level! That is to say, their group is extremely powerful. If it were the guards inside the research institute, they would suffer heavy casualties the moment they encounter this monster. Only then did Xia En understand the reason why this area was called the restricted area. And obviously, deeper in the penalty area. There are more powerful experimental subjects that have broken free from their cages. But now, all we can do is continue to rush in. Xia En first glanced at An Bing beside him and reminded him. "Miss Anbing, the next journey will only be more dangerous." "Please stop being distracted." An Bing nodded slightly ashamed. "I see." Immediately afterwards, the group continued to move deeper into the restricted area. Even though he had expected it, the scene here still made Xia En secretly stunned. Humans with obvious dragon-like characteristics; An ice sculpture whose whole body is frozen but still has the breath of life; The mummy mumbling in the corner... Everything is filled with an atmosphere of weirdness and taboo. If it hadn''t been said that this was a research institute, Xia En might have thought that this was the site of some evil ritual. The reason why King Xin hid this research institute so deeply is probably because he did not want these taboo experiments to be known to others. Look at the scene here. Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little complicated. It was hard for him to imagine that the Yan Yan he knew would conduct such a taboo experiment. But if you are the salary king... If for the people of [Great Yan Kingdom]... Maybe he will indeed let go of some of his persistence? When his thoughts were ups and downs, suddenly, the [Fire] in Xia En''s arms responded. (End of chapter) Chapter 379 [Augustine? ! 】 Chapter 379 [Augustine? ! As the group went deeper. The [fire] that had been dormant for a long time once again exuded the heat of ironing. This suddenly made Xia En''s face light up. This means that the node they are looking for is indeed deep in the restricted area. Moreover, the distance between them continues to shorten. But Xia En was a little curious about the shape of this node. Obviously, the historical King Xin was not inside the institute when the invasion occurred. So, what will be the key node of the entire memory scene? Shane is currently unknown. But one thing is for sure - That node is likely to be located near the [Eternal Coffin], and may even be the [Eternal Coffin] itself. "Help, help!" Suddenly, a cry for help came from not far away, interrupting Xia En''s thoughts. He and Jane looked at each other. He quickly rushed towards the direction where the cry for help came from. However, when a group of people arrived at the scene. But all I saw was A pale humanoid monster with snake-like fine scales was crawling on a **** body, seeming to be munching on food. The creepy chewing sound echoed in the passage. And heard the footsteps coming from Xia En and others. The pale humanoid monster raised its head and looked at the group of people. Although it was a little distorted due to scales and scars, Xia En could still tell at a glance - That''s a human face! His mouth and nose were dripping with blood, and there were a few strands of scarlet flesh at the corners of his mouth. It looks extremely ferocious. But the moment he saw that face, An Bing couldn''t help but exclaimed. "Elder Schumann?" Upon hearing this name, the humanoid monster''s vertical pupils shrank slightly. His expression seemed to regain a moment of clarity. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss An Bing?" After confirming the identity of the other party, An Bing''s eyes suddenly became extremely complicated. This elder Schumann was one of her mother''s good friends. An Bing often came to take care of her when she was young. An Bing has always regarded him as a respectable elder. However, An Bing did not expect that he would see the other party in this situation. But that''s it. Xiaowan on the side said. "Sister An Bing, there is no need to sympathize with him." "This elder Schumann once massacred an entire village in a remote area of ??[Great Yan Kingdom], even the women and children were not spared." "That''s when he was sent to the prison of the research institute." "What?!" An Bing couldn''t help but show a look of astonishment. Such a thing was actually done by Elder Schuman, whom she was familiar with? Hearing this, Elder Schuman just sneered. "Yes, I did it!" "What do you know, you fool who betrayed the family?" "Such a sacrifice is necessary in order to drive out the group of outsiders who have polluted the pure [Far North]." "Rather, I think I killed too few!" "...How could it be?" These words confirmed Xiaowan''s statement. An Bing once again showed a shaken look, feeling that her past knowledge was being destroyed, which she found difficult to accept. And this time. Schumann seemed to have remembered something, and strong excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked. "Since Miss An Bing is here, it means that the patriarch''s plan has been successful, right?" "King Xin is dead?" "Ha ha ha ha!" Schumann laughed triumphantly. "What a wonderful death! If he dies, this [Great Yan Kingdom] will be like a castle in the air, it will collapse soon." Hearing this, An Bing''s expression suddenly changed drastically. "What did you say?" "My mother''s plan...what is it? What does it have to do with me?" "Um?" As if he sensed that An Bing''s doubts didn''t seem like he was acting out, Schumann''s laughter stopped abruptly. This time it was his turn to be surprised. "How is that possible?" "You don''t know the team leader''s plan?" As if he was stimulated by learning about this incident, Schumann''s expression became a little distorted, faintly revealing a hint of madness. he muttered. "Impossible...impossible...absolutely impossible!" "Because you are clearly the most important culprit in this plan." "What are you talking about?" "I''m...Anzi?" An Bing was very smart, and she quickly sensed part of the truth from his words, and couldn''t help but frown. she questioned again. "Elder Schumann, tell me clearly!" Just now. The crazy look on Schumann''s face became more and more obvious, and he gradually revealed his beast-like ferocity. "roar-" Schumann let out a low roar in his throat, then got down on all fours and rushed straight towards Xia En and the others. Compared with the previous dragon wolf, he is faster! It even exudes a unique blood pressure. -That is the power of the dragon from the ancient dragon. However, for Xia En, such pressure is not enough! He also let out a low roar, and the ancient dragon''s blood surged through his body. The tyrannical power and pressure poured out immediately. On the contrary, Schumann, who lost his mind, was shocked for just a second. If it were those ordinary [Western Frost Wolves], they would probably have fled with their tails between their legs. However, the Schumann in front of him obviously no longer even has that kind of rationality. All that was left in his brain was the desire to kill. So, he just paused for a moment before rushing forward again. Boom! The next moment, Shane''s fist collided with Schumann''s claws. There was a muffled sound immediately, causing the entire passage to faintly shake. There was a hint of surprise in Xia En''s expression. If we say, the previous half-dragon, half-wolf experimental body only had quasi-sixth level strength. So the Schumann in front of him may have reached the peak of the sixth level in terms of physical fitness alone! and. After the fight, there was an extremely cold secret power that continued to seep into Xia En''s skin, trying to freeze him. only. Xia En''s [Secret Power of the Void] is not a vegetarian either. With just a little movement, this icy secret power was completely removed. As for Schumann''s physique, which is far beyond ordinary people, he is more like a witch in front of Xia En. It was just that he was suppressed in an instant. After several fights. Schumann''s body was like a battered rag doll, becoming tattered. But it has to be said. The transformation of taboos in the institute indeed gave Schumann extraordinary vitality and self-healing abilities. Even though his body was broken in many places and his whole body was a little out of shape, Schumann still did not die. An Bing still wanted to ask Schumann something. Just looking at his appearance at this time, he seemed to have completely lost the ability to communicate normally. then. Xia En simply stopped holding back and prepared to use all his strength to kill him directly. But just as Shane punched Schumann in the head. A bronze light suddenly lit up in the eyes of this crazy-looking elder of the "Ice and Snow People". immediately. Everything around seemed to have stopped for a moment. Almost in the blink of an eye, Schumann''s body moved a certain distance to the side, thus avoiding Shane''s fatal blow. "This is?" Xia En raised his eyebrows. He had a feeling that at that moment, the time around him seemed to be frozen. This allowed Schumann to barely dodge the attack. This discovery undoubtedly surprised Xia En. Did Schumann really master a certain amount of time and space? Even if the power he can exert is extremely small, the time of stasis is less than a second. 69BookBar But just mastering the power of time and space itself is an incredible thing! It''s like... In previous lives, certain countries have mastered the technology of H reactors. No matter how small the reactor is, it still has extraordinary significance. Also aware of this. And Jane not far away. She looked shocked and murmured: "King Xin''s research has actually reached this point..." Even a failed experiment can control some power of time and space. It can be seen that Xin Wangs research has indeed advanced to a very deep level. perhaps This is also the reason why the [Truth Society] in history tried to seize the research results. However, although the power of time and space is powerful, it also depends on who is using it. After all, Schumann had lost his human sanity and was seriously injured. The stimulation just now was just an outbreak at a critical moment. Therefore, after Xia En came to his senses, it only took two or three moves to kill him on the spot. Looking at Schumann''s body, An Bing''s eyes were complicated. The words he just said are still echoing in my mind. Xia En glanced at An Bing silently. From the words of this [People of Ice and Snow] elder, it is not difficult to guess - [People of Ice and Snow] seems to have an assassination plan targeting King Xin. In the original plan, Dark Ice was a key part of it. Although I am a little curious about those past events, now is not the time to think deeply. Obviously. More and more prisoners have escaped from their cages and are wreaking havoc in this restricted area. After observing, Xia En learned that the person who asked for help before was an unfortunate researcher who happened to encounter such an accident. Coupled with the infiltration of the [Truth Society]... Xia En couldn''t help but worry. Can the two legendary strong men stationed in the penalty area really control the situation? at the same time. The restricted area of ??the institute, the deepest part. There is an empty and lonely hall. The temperature here has dropped to an extremely terrifying level. Ice-blue frost formed on the floor, walls, and dome of the hall. Ordinary people would probably die of hypothermia within ten minutes just by being here. However. It was in this cold hall that two torch-like figures stood. These are twin brothers who look almost identical. Similar handsome features like marble sculptures, and the same dark and slender black flame robe. Only the little black moles located under the left and right eye sockets can distinguish their different identities. That powerful and fiery aura made it impossible for the surrounding icy secret power to get close to them. Even at this time, the entire institute was in a state of emergency being invaded. The faces of the brothers remained calm, without the slightest emotion. Like a sculpture, it stands in this cold hall. because The task given to them by King Xin is to guard the [Eternal Coffin] inside this hall! No matter what happens outside, they must ensure that the [Eternal Coffin] is not captured by outsiders. And just then. The younger brother, who had a mole on his left eye, opened his eyes. "Brother, it seems...there are guests coming." The elder brother of the two also opened his eyes and looked towards the only entrance to the hall. There. An old man with white beard and hair, hunched body and looking extremely weak, was limping over. His ribs and back were interspersed with dozens of thick iron ropes, and the blood on them had long since dried. There are even chains on his hands and feet that have almost grown with flesh and blood. As if he had just walked out of prison. Its hard to imagine that anyone could move forward with such a chain. In comparison, his rickety posture seemed perfectly normal. Just, seeing this old man. The elder brother of the two just sneered. "guest?" "No! It''s just an old dog that should have died a long time ago!" After hearing this comment, the old man just laughed hoarsely. "Yeah, old dog..." "I''m just a shameless old dog who wants to live!" "But it''s better than those [Great Yan Kingdom] officials and generals I killed, right?" There was strong sarcasm in his tone. "Oh, by the way, I remember that many people in [Black Flame Walker] also died in my hands." "Among them...are you two brothers'' comrades in arms, right?" "I remember, I should have killed their entire family..." The two brothers did not speak. But strong murderous intent flashed through their eyes. "It seems that such a long life as a prisoner has not taught you to behave better." The younger brother said calmly. "Now that you''ve broken into this place, you should know what will happen to you, right?" "No matter what I do, King Xin will not punish me." "I will let you taste the fear before you die!" At this, the old man sneered. "If you can do it, then do it." The old man''s words had not yet finished. The two legendary brothers came to him as if they had traveled through space. A hand big enough to crush the alloy directly grabbed the old man''s head. "Well done!" Seeing this scene, the white-haired old man was not surprised but happy, with a sneer on his face that showed a successful conspiracy. Since he was imprisoned, the cold secret power that had been suppressed somewhere in his body poured out in an instant. This old guy actually hid this trick! The younger brother''s pupils shrank, but there was no fear in his eyes. This level of coldness could only freeze him for half a second at most. But at this moment. The expression of the brother not far away suddenly changed. Because he saw that another figure that he could not see had quietly appeared beside his brother, and slapped it down with a palm. There was a muffled sound. The younger brother retreated violently, as if he had been hit hard. When he raised his head again, a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, obviously he had been seriously injured. He looked at the sudden appearance of the figure with great fear. And when I saw that face clearly. The two brothers couldn''t help but shrink their pupils and whispered in disbelief. "King of Pirates" "Augustin?" (End of chapter) Chapter 380 Face the [Truth Society] head on! August Chapter 380 Confronting the [Truth Society]! Augustine controlled! "oh?" "I didn''t expect that in this day and age, someone would recognize me." The man who easily repelled the [Black Flame Walker] turned around, revealing a face in the prime of his life. His eyes were dark and deep, like a starless night sky. Short black hair. There is a smooth stubble on the chin, so that the whole face does not look too childish. Even though he is quite different from the old man in the portrait. But the two brothers can still recognize each other at a glance This person who suddenly appeared is none other than the founder of the [Pirate Principality] in the old era, the former king, Augustine! In fact, that''s why they recognized each other. It''s because... King Xin admired the pirate king so much that he even hung his portrait in the Great Yan Palace. Once, the two brothers heard King Xin mention - Some of the technologies in this institute actually come from Augustine''s legacy. However, they never expected it. I will meet this past king here! And, look at his appearance. Not only did the other party come back to life, he even returned to the state of his youth. The most important thing is... Augustine also became an accomplice of the invaders! ? "What on earth is going on?" Even the two well-informed brothers couldn''t help but feel confused and shocked when faced with this situation. However, it was a shock. The two of them did not panic because of this, but became more clear about what they had to do at this time - No matter who comes, they just need to drive them out without leaving any one behind, that''s enough! And this time. Several more figures in white coats came from outside the hall. They have a rational temperament similar to Jane. Because he is too rational, he inexplicably gives people a feeling of being human but not human. One of them glanced at Augustine not far away, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Is this the Augustine you recreated?" "Not bad, it''s at least 90% restored." "It seems that there are still some real geniuses in the [Truth Society] in later generations, and they have not tarnished our reputation." he asked with a smile. "But...he is not Augustine in his heyday, right?" "Is it because the technology is not up to standard yet, or... is there some kind of realm limit when you come to this place?" Hearing these words, the [Truth Society] members next to them were suddenly surprised. One of them said: "As expected of Lord Camus, whose documents have been passed down to later generations, he can guess the truth at a glance." Camus said calmly: "Isn''t this a matter of course?" Seeing this group of people with unique temperaments, they started complimenting each other at this moment. The two legendary [Black Flame Walkers] and the old man [People of Ice and Snow] both looked a little weird. It''s been a long time since they''ve experienced this feeling of neglect. The white-haired old man saw that the fighter plane he had finally created was wasted in such a way. He couldn''t suppress his anger and couldn''t help but ask. "What are you doing?" "Why don''t you kill these brothers quickly?" "If we wait a little longer, King Xin might notice something different here and come over!" Seeing his angry expression, the [Truth Society] member named Camus frowned slightly. "What an idiot who doesn''t understand appreciation." "You don''t know the meaning and beauty of this technology at all, do you?" But halfway through, Camus shook his head. "After all, talking about the greatness of technology with a mediocre person like you is just playing the piano to an ox." "No. B5, go and kill them." Following Camus''s order. Augustine, who had remained silent ever since members of the [Truth Society] came forward, finally took action. He looked at the two brothers in the legendary realm. The aura on their bodies was constantly building up, like an insurmountable mountain. At the same time, Augustine said lightly. "Although I don''t want to kill, I am currently restricted by others, so I have no choice but to take action." "You two, be careful!" After hearing this, the two brothers'' expressions became serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They vaguely guessed. The Augustine in front of him may not be the pirate king in real history, and his strength is not at its peak. But even so. The two brothers couldn''t help but feel great pressure. A king from the old days. The title itself is enough to be intimidating. Especially when the two brothers also had close contact with King Xin. They know better than the average person the weight behind the title "King". but. The expressions of the two of them were still determined, and they did not show any fear. No matter who the enemy is, if you don''t even have the courage to fight against it. Then they will truly lose! In the passage deep in the restricted area. Xia En and his party are moving forward quickly. And on the way forward. They saw that the bodies of victims and experimental subjects continued to appear near each cell. Some subjects died from the micro-devices attached to their necks. Another part of the body had traces of being torn and eaten by wild beasts. Obviously. These irrational experimental subjects will not only attack the guards and researchers of the institute. Among themselves, they will also fight and devour each other. And just as everyone was passing through a cell, they met a guard of the institute who was covered in blood but was not dead yet. "Director Wan?" The guard leaning against the wall had not yet lost consciousness. When he saw Xia En and his party passing by, he couldn''t help but let out a hoarse call. Xiaowan quickly stepped forward and said in surprise after seeing the other person''s face clearly. "Are you Hilson, who specializes in guarding the Great Elder''s cell?" "It''s me." Hilson said extremely weakly. "There is actually a cold secret power hidden in that guy''s body, and it was not revealed until today." "My brothers and I tried our best but could not defeat it. In the end... I was the only one who survived." "There are also several researchers who are also his accomplices." "After helping him escape from the cage, they headed towards the deepest hall of the restricted area." "What?" Hearing this, a flash of panic flashed across Xiaowan''s face. "The Great Elder escaped?" Looking at the slightly confused looks in Xia En and others'' eyes, Xiaowan explained. "The Great Elder is the most dangerous prisoner in this institute." "His hostility and hatred towards King Xin and [Great Yan Kingdom] is also the strongest among all [People of Ice and Snow]." At this time, An Bing obviously remembered the existence of this great elder and murmured to himself. "The great elder has always claimed to be in seclusion within the family." "I didn''t expect... to be imprisoned in the restricted area of ??this research institute." The guard named Hilson persuaded. "Director Wan, please run away." "This rebellion is by no means a temporary action. The enemies have been fully prepared for it." "Not only the old guy, but also several prisoners of the [People of Ice and Snow] are waiting for this day." "Moreover, there is an extremely scary guy among them..." Having said this, the guard''s face showed a lingering fear of escaping from death. "He just glanced at us, and his aura almost took our breath away." "I think... even those two adults are not necessarily his opponents, right?" "There is such a strong person." Xiaowan murmured in shock. She knew very well the status of the two [Black Flame Walker] brothers in the heart of the guards. But at this time, the guard gave this evaluation. It is enough to show how powerful the enemy is. Xia En was not surprised by this. Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel. Since the [Truth Society] had made plans to invade the research institute early, they would naturally send out elite forces with legendary combat power. That''s when. boom! boom! boom! In the passage deep below, a series of loud noises suddenly sounded. The collision of some kind of force caused the entire underground research institute to faintly shake. And after hearing a muffled sound. Xia En''s expression changed slightly. He could feel that the power levels of both parties colliding at this time had reached the legendary realm! Obviously, this was when the legendary strongman stationed at the institute encountered the invader. Shane quickly guessed the truth. Just don''t know why. From the vague aura of secret power, he noticed a hint or two of familiarity. Suppress the doubts in your heart. Xia En no longer hesitated and immediately led everyone towards the deepest hall. When dealing with the failed experimental subjects encountered on the road, Xia En no longer held back and directly crushed them with violence in order to reach the scene of the battle as quickly as possible. On such a fast and furious journey. After a while. The group of people arrived at the entrance of the hall. The scene that caught his eye made Xia En''s pupils shrink. I saw it in this empty and cold underground hall. Two figures wearing black flame robes were flashing back and forth. They were launching a violent attack on a figure in the center of the hall every moment. The dark flames wrapped around them, carrying an aura that seemed to come from the netherworld. Their tall bodies are made even more majestic, making people think of envoys who are seducing people and demanding their lives. The legendary level of momentum is fully displayed. But even in the face of the siege of these two legendary powerhouses. The figure in the center of the hall was still as calm as taking a leisurely stroll. He clapped his hands from time to time. But it always falls exactly where the two brothers must pass, as if their energy has been locked. No matter how fast the two of them moved, they could not escape his attack. On the bright side. It was two brothers who were launching a fierce attack on this person. But it felt to everyone as if he had single-handedly suppressed these two legends. as if Once the two brothers stop attacking, they will be defeated in an instant. only. The shock brought by this battle scene was far less than the shock Xia En had when he saw the face of the besieged man. "...Augustine?" Not just in the promotion ritual, but in an experience of returning to history. On that [Emerald Island], Shane had seen the young Augustine with his own eyes. That face was almost the same as the man in front of him. But what he couldn''t understand was... Augustine, why are you here? The first guess that came to Xia En''s mind was that Augustine was also an existence shaped by the memory of [Great Flame]. But then I thought it was wrong. Even in the era of [Great Yan Kingdom], Augustine had already passed away for hundreds of years, and it was impossible to reproduce such a complete form. And immediately. Xia En looked at the researchers in white coats not far away. From their unique temperament, it is not difficult to tell that they are members of the [Truth Society]! Combined again, at this time, Augustine seems to be on the side of the invaders... Shane immediately came to the conclusion This Augustine is exactly the product of the [Truth Society] plan to reproduce the strong men in history! Think of this. Shane''s first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was anger. Although he only had a few contacts with Augustine. But he also received a lot of help from this king and gained a deeper understanding of him. Shane clearly understood what kind of courage and ambition Augustine had? The deeds of daring to challenge foreign gods. It once shocked his heart and made him admire him. This is definitely a king worthy of respect! But at this time. The [Truth Society] reappeared him when he should have been sleeping, just to satisfy his own selfish desires. This is undoubtedly blasphemy against Augustine! How could Shane not be angry about this? at the same time. Members of the [Truth Society] headed by Camus also noticed the arrival of Xia En and others. Camus''s eyes first fell on Jane in the crowd. "Such a rational temperament makes him different from those idiots at first glance." "Could it be that...she is also our companion?" But the members from the later generations of the [Truth Society] suddenly changed their expressions and murmured. "Mrs. Serenity? Shane?" "They actually came too..." "Lord Camus, we must fight quickly." "Please hold them back and let us seize the [Eternal Coffin]." The purpose of these [Truth Society] members is very clear. They didn''t come here to fight life or death. Taking away this [Eternal Coffin] is their ultimate goal. Hearing this, Camus did not delay, but said calmly. "Leave it to me." Then, the man who spoke earlier shouted to Augustine. "No. B5, fight quickly and resolve the battle as soon as possible." Hearing this, Augustine''s eyes flashed with anger. Even if he is not the real body, he will never like this feeling of being ordered. But in response, the [Truth Society] member just sneered and showed his wrist. On it, there is a bracelet inlaid with three gemstones. The man said loudly. "Augustin B5, I order you to use all your strength to defeat these two legendary mystics." The words fell. One of the gems shattered in response. There seemed to be an invisible curse mark emerging in the air, acting directly on Augustine. Augustine''s body suddenly stiffened. Then, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes became cold and emotionless, like a cold machine. Immediately afterwards, Augustine launched a real offensive against the legendary brothers! (End of chapter) Chapter 381 【Secret Technique of Combination】 Chapter 381 [Secret Technique of Fusion] "That is?" Not far away, Xia En naturally noticed the researcher''s strange behavior and the bracelet on his wrist. Xia En was vaguely familiar with such a device. That was probably some kind of prop used to control Augustine. The gems on it are some means of enforcing orders. Similar to what is called a "Command Seal." Think about it too. If the Augustine in history is really reproduced, after knowing the situation he is in, he will definitely not be willing to be used by the [Truth Society]. It is even possible to directly fight the [Truth Society] to death. Only this control device engraved deep in his soul can allow the [Truth Society] to drive him with confidence. As for the prefix "B5", it is most likely the code name of this "Augustine" by the [Truth Society]. That is to say. There may be more than one "Augustine" they reproduced! Thinking of this, the anger in Xia En''s heart became stronger. He rarely had such strong murderous intent towards people. But the behavior of the [Truth Society] made him feel that he was still too kind sometimes. And at the same time. After giving an order with the help of something that looks like a curse. The battle situation on the field immediately developed towards a one-sided situation. Augustine, who had been taking his time and just blocking the attacks of the two brothers, had greatly increased his desire to attack. From move to move, it became extremely powerful and swift. It''s like changing personal control. It''s not hard to see. Augustine did not fight seriously at all before. The released water is as wide as the sea. At this time, after being ordered by him to take action with all their strength, the two Black Flame brothers suddenly felt extremely strong pressure. From barely maintaining a balance between the two sides, it became struggling to support it under Augustine. Something to say. The two of them were like a small boat in a storm, and they could be swallowed up by the howling wind and huge waves at any time. "Damn it, you can be so strong." The elder brother in [Black Flame Walker] frowned, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead. It can be seen that he is under great pressure at this time. He could see that the Augustine in front of him was just beginning to enter the realm of legend. It even... seems to be temporarily improved by some special means. In theory. Augustine should not be as good as the two mystics who have been in the legend for many years. But in fact. The feeling the other party gave him was just one word - powerful! And its powerful in all aspects. Regardless of the strength of the physical body, the depth of the secret power, or the control over the secret power. Or the quality of mental power, the tenacity of will... Augustine must be above the two brothers! It gave him the feeling that the enemy in front of him was like a piece of steel that had been tempered many times. At each stage of promotion, an extremely solid foundation has been laid. It can be said that the limit of every level has been reached. Therefore, even though Augustine''s state at this time was unstable, let alone his heyday in history, he could still easily crush the two of them. "Is this the strength of the Pirate King?" The legend in [Black Flame Walker] couldn''t help but feel awe, and secretly thought in his heart. "Sure enough... no one who can become the first king of a country is simple." "At this point, all we can do is try to keep things under control." Thinking of this, the man turned his head and looked at his brother not far away. The twin brothers had a tacit understanding that made the younger brother look at him at this time as well. Both brothers saw a look of determination in each other''s eyes. The next moment. "Come on fire!" Accompanied by a soft drink from the two of them. Raging black flames exploded from their bodies. In the blink of an eye, it covered their bodies like running water. Immediately afterwards. The bodies of the two people gradually merged into one body in the burning black flames, becoming indistinguishable from each other. It transformed into a figure that was taller and more majestic than before, with a more powerful aura. Subsequently. The black flames slowly dissipated, and a man with a little black mole under his left and right eye sockets walked out. Compared with just now, his aura seemed to have risen to a higher level out of thin air. Faintly reached the eighth level above the legend! The whole person''s temperament also became more majestic, with a texture like the messenger from hell. This is the unique combination of these two brothers. They can merge into one body in a short time and burst out with more powerful power. certainly. Such a powerful secret technique naturally comes with a high price. But at this time, facing Augustine in front of them, their brothers had no choice. And after seeing the two brothers become one. Not only did Augustine not flinch, his eyes suddenly lit up, with an increasingly strong fighting spirit emerging. Even if he is just a copy of Augustine, he will never be afraid of facing a strong enemy. boom! All of a sudden. The two sides once again collided with each other in an extremely fierce manner. The terrible aftermath spreads outward. The expressions of everyone watching could not help but change. And at the same time. Xia En''s attention fell on the members of the [Truth Society] not far away, walking towards the [Eternal Coffin] along the edge of the hall. previously. Although the two legends among the [Black Flame Walkers] were entangled by Augustine, they still had some energy left to distract themselves from other people in the field. If they had gone to the center of the hall at that time, they would undoubtedly have been stopped immediately. But for now, as Augustine gets serious. The two brothers could only devote all their bodies and minds to the battle, not daring to be distracted in the slightest. This gave the people of the [Truth Society] an opportunity to take advantage of. As they get closer to the [Eternal Coffin]. A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, and he was about to attack them with thunderous means. But at this moment. However, the member of the [Truth Society] named Camus stood up and stopped in front of them. "Your opponent is me." Camus said coldly. "Although I don''t know why you want to stop our great plan." "But...all those who stand in our way to the truth are enemies." "You can die here in peace!" After the words fell, Camus gently pressed a button on his body. immediately. A layer of silver-gray special metal emerged from his body surface like flowing liquid. First, a structure like an exoskeleton is formed. In an instant, it covered his whole body and fit it together perfectly. soon. What appeared in front of Xia En and others was a strange man wearing a silver armor with a streamlined body. And when seeing this scene. Carles behind Shane couldn''t help but open his eyes wide. "This is" She had to admit that the armor worn by the man in front of her had some special similarities with her own. Xia En also narrowed his eyes slightly. He can feel it. After Camus put on this silver-gray armor. The other party''s aura is rising at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it reached the level of legend, sending out signals of extreme danger. It''s obvious. in the original history. This Camus is the trump card used by the [Truth Society] to fight against the black flame brothers. But at this time, it was Xia En and others'' turn to confront him. Carles was still a little shocked and murmured. "That armor?" Only then did Camus seem to notice the existence of Carles and glanced at her lightly. "oh?" This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~ A slightly distorted sound came from under his visor, making the weird inhumanity even more obvious. "...a mechanical creation with life?" "I''ve seen a lot of people similar to you." "But there are not many people with sixth-level combat power like you." "If you are willing to surrender, I will give you a chance to be my experimental subject." Upon hearing these arrogant words, Carles''s faceplate lit up with red light, revealing full murderous intent. "You want me to surrender? Are you worthy?" With that said, Carles looked at Xia En who was aside. "Captain Shane, let''s go." Shane instantly understood what Carles meant, and without any hesitation, he directly extended his hand to her. The situation is extremely urgent now, and there is no time to test it step by step. The best way to defeat the enemy in front of you is to use all your strength to defeat them! Not only is the brother of [Black Flame Walker] possessing the secret technique of fusion, he and Carles also have a passionate combination technique! The next moment. In the dispersing steam, Carles'' body continued to decompose into pieces of precise gears and levers. Countless parts, large and small, fit onto Xia En''s body like living things, wrapped up like flesh and blood. Gradually it was pieced together into a suit of white gold armor mixed with brass. Shane and Carles have experienced this kind of combination several times and are completely familiar with it. Finally, what appeared in front of everyone was a platinum knight over two meters tall, with steam constantly spitting out from his body. Full of a sense of oppression. and Camus not far away. It''s like humanoid mechas from two different dimensions but with similar technology. And the moment the two sides'' eyes met. They rushed towards each other in a brazen manner. boom! ! After the collision, terrible force was transmitted from the feet of both parties to the ground. If it weren''t for this hall being built by King Xin. At this moment, just this impact is enough to collapse the underground space. Even so, fine cracks appeared under the feet of both of them. Moreover, this collision is just the beginning. Bang! Bang! Bang! In just one second, the two of them had already fought dozens of times. The bodies of both sides pulled out afterimages in the air. The terrifying air waves continued to expand. After a round of fighting, the two sides temporarily distanced themselves. "Nice power." Camus commented while standing on the cold ground. "But after all, it''s just a legendary ant." "If it''s just this level, you can''t get past me!" In Carles package. Xia En''s expression was a little solemn. Just as Camus said, he and Carles did not reach the level of legend after all. Although after being combined, the combat power of one plus one is greater than two. But the gap in realm still exists. Xia En didn''t think that he could easily defeat all the legendary strong men just because he defeated the undead Hanno. In fact. His ability to kill the undead Hanno actually had a certain amount of luck. On the one hand, Hanno is in a half-human, half-undead state. His strength is far less than what he was in his heyday. on the other hand. It was the [Eye of Peeping Secrets] that happened to discover Hanno''s flaw, so that he could deliver the fatal blow in the end. Xia En is still very aware of this. He will not misjudge his own strength because of this, nor will he have any contempt for it. only. This battle was also very different from the battle against Hanno at that time. Because at this time, there were Jane and Carles beside Shane. The platinum armor transformed by Carles greatly reduced the numerical gap between Shane and Camus. Although he hasn''t been able to defeat the opponent yet, he won''t be pushed too far away. Only by barely being able to fight evenly can we have the basis to defeat the opponent. And at the same time. Jane behind him also took action without warning. The cane in her hand moved forward slightly. In mid-air, there were countless numbers that looked like formulas and codes, blocking Camus'' body from all directions, sealing him in it. "Um?" When Camus'' eyes fell on those formulas, he couldn''t help but be slightly stunned. Those characters had a very strong attraction for him. It''s like...if you don''t decipher and analyze it, it''s a kind of blasphemy against knowledge. "Are you actually using knowledge as the foundation and core of the secret technique?" "It''s interesting." "Sure enough, you are different from them." "However, if you use this method to deal with me, you are looking for the wrong person!" Camus looked towards those formulas. For ordinary people, if they cannot solve the mystery behind these formulas, they will be trapped in this cage composed of numbers and formulas. It can be said that this is Jane''s intellectual suppression of the enemy. However, as Camus''s mind was spinning rapidly. The knowledge stored deep in the brain is constantly mobilized. The obscure problems that would have trapped ordinary people for several years were quickly solved in a few breaths. visible. As a member of the [Truth Society] of this era, Camus'' knowledge reserve can only be described as "incomparably profound". A true genius. I''m afraid...this is also the reason why he has an extremely arrogant character and calls other people mediocre. only. No matter how fast Camus solved the problem, it still took some time. And take advantage of this time. Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets] flashed with dim light, trying to find his flaws as quickly as possible. Due to limited time, Xia En did not attempt to directly find Camus'' core flaw, but instead focused on the silver armor. As long as this armor is broken, Camus''s threat will be greatly reduced. And soon, in the chaotic dots and lines, Xia En found a flaw that was difficult to detect. Just a breath of time. Shane rushed out like an arrow again. The secret power of [Great Dark Sky] was condensed in the palm of his hand. Dozens of steam cores provide him with surging power. The [Eye of Peeping Secrets] locked onto the weakest point of the armor. boom! Shane punched Camus in the waist and abdomen. "Crack!" A cracking sound followed. (End of chapter) Chapter 382 Goodbye Leila! (Merry Christmas!) Chapter 382 Goodbye Laila! (Merry Christmas!) Click! In an instant, Xia En felt as if his fist hit something like a chip. The chip then cracked. Almost at the same time. Camus completed the solution to the problem set by Jane. The moment he noticed that the chip was broken, Camus'' expression suddenly changed and he shouted angrily. "How dare you?" Immediately, his armor lit up with a silvery white light. A ray of silver light, like a blade, slashed straight towards Xia En''s waist. It forced him to retreat temporarily. However, Xia En''s attack just now was not ineffective. He could clearly see that there were several fine cracks on Camus'' silver armor. Even the next moment, these cracks healed again. But this also shows. After the chip is shattered, the stability and solidity of the entire armor will inevitably be greatly reduced. The evidence is... In Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets], the number of flaws in Camus''s body suddenly increased several times compared to before. Wait until the light dissipates. Camus finally looked at Xia En with some attention. At this time, he clearly noticed the glint in Xia En''s eyes and murmured. "Those eyes of yours...actually have the power of rules?" "It turns out that you relied on it to find the core of the armor." Camus''s eyesight is indeed extraordinary, and he quickly understood the effect of Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. Suddenly this time. Camus'' eyes glanced at Jane beside him again. At this time, this wise and rational old woman once again raised the cane in her hand. The chaotic codes and numbers are arranged and combined in a manner that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, as if they are once again forming a cage made of knowledge. Jian said calmly. "That just now is just knowledge that is eight hundred years out of date." "Now, how should you deal with the research results from 500 years ago?" Hearing this, Camus felt an ominous premonition in his heart. Through communication with later members of the [Truth Society], he naturally knew that these members, like those members, were all beings from the "future". And even though Camus looked down upon them, he knew deep down With the development of the times, many new technologies will surely be born, and many laws and conjectures will be confirmed. For example, the technology used by the [Truth Society] to reproduce Augustine was a great breakthrough in his opinion. This is also the inevitability of the development of the times. Camus'' talent, in this era, is certainly amazing and knowledgeable. But for those who have never been exposed to knowledge, it is obviously not easy to crack it. It''s like... Take an ancient scientist and suddenly throw him into modern times. If they study for a period of time, they may be able to master that knowledge quickly. But asking them to figure out the principles of core technology within a few minutes is undoubtedly a fantasy. "I admit, I underestimated you. Camus said coldly. "In that case..." "Then we can only use this trick." The next moment. He pressed a button on his body again. A cold mechanical sound then sounded: "Automatic combat mode is on." Then, the color of the entire armor changed subtly, seeming to turn into a pure silvery white. And attacked Xia En again! And this time. Jane''s secret technique built from knowledge also came to Camus again. But Jane surprised him. This time, Camus seemed to have ignored the shackles of those formulas and numbers, and moved against Xia En without any pause. Jane realized the truth with just one glance. "Put aside personal consciousness and directly fight with the armor itself?" Jane''s secret knowledge can only be effective when faced with creatures with the ability to think rationally. Especially humans like Camus who are researchers themselves are involuntarily attracted to knowledge and want to decipher the mysteries behind it. But if it''s against a dead object like a stone or a piece of steel, it will have almost no effect. Because they themselves have no concept of knowledge. Even basic rationality is absent. at this time. Camus activated the automatic combat mode of this armor to avoid Jane''s secret technique. I have to say that this tactic is indeed correct. Moreover, Xia En was a little surprised. After activating the so-called automatic battle mode... Camus''s fighting power has become stronger! Simply put. Camus didn''t seem to know any battles or moves before. He just relies on his powerful performance to fight instinctively. There will inevitably be some loopholes in the action. It''s just because his speed is too fast and his strength is too great. Even if Xia En saw these flaws, he wouldn''t be able to catch them immediately. In fact, this is the normal situation. There are specialties in the art industry. The researchers of the [Truth Society] put their efforts into research, and most of them will not devote their energy to actual combat. Otherwise, they will not find another way to reappear the strong men in history and use them for their own purposes. And at this time. After giving this silver armor to "fight on his behalf". Camus seemed to turn into a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles and honed his martial arts for many years in the blink of an eye. All movements become extremely capable and efficient, with nothing superfluous. As precise and rigorous as a machine. It almost perfectly displays the combat effectiveness of this armor. What frightened Xia En the most was. He could see that the armor seemed to be constantly learning to imitate his movements during the battle. And adjust your response strategy according to his moves! That is to say. This armor has the ability to learn in battle. It''s hard to imagine that this is something a battle armor can do. But consider that even Carles could exist. The [Truth Society] can design it. Such a armor doesn''t seem to be impossible. It is for these reasons. After Camus switched to combat mode. Instead of reducing Xia En''s pressure, it actually increased greatly. And, the worst part is Shane also noticed that Camus seemed to have revised his combat goals. From annihilating Xia En and others, to... delaying them as much as possible. Don''t let them stop the group of people who capture the [Eternal Coffin]. I have to say. After Camus put down his contempt for Shane and others, the situation undoubtedly became several times more difficult. If you give Shane enough time. Of course, he was confident that he would find the most fatal flaw in this silver armor and completely defeat it. But right now. Those [Truth Society] members would not give him such time. Just then. The group of people had arrived less than twenty meters away from the [Eternal Coffin]. The leader of the [Truth Society] member murmured to himself with a flash of fire in his eyes. "We are about to get the key to the new world..." He looked back at Xia En and others who were entangled, and sneered. "Haha, you stupid people, just watch as we hold this key in our hands." But, suddenly, his words stopped abruptly. A figure made of ice crystals appeared in front of them. That cold face was surprisingly An Bing, who had been silent since just now. "What?" Under the silver armor, Camus'' slightly surprised voice came out. He looked at where An Bing was standing before and found that the body had quietly dispersed into pieces of ice crystals. Apparently. Dark Ice used some kind of clone''s secret technique to hide his body, leaving an ice crystal body in place, thereby hiding it from Camus''s perception. "Damn it!" Looking at An Bing in front of him, the leader of the [Truth Society] member cursed and ordered to his companion, the colonel. This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~ "You guys, go and stop him!" "Let me take away the [Eternal Coffin]." After saying that, he left his companions behind and ran straight towards the [Eternal Coffin]. Although the other members also panicked for a moment because of the sudden appearance of An Bing. But seeing her alone, I couldn''t help but gain some courage. So many against one. The advantage is mine! So, everyone no longer hesitated and charged towards An Bing. These [Truth Society] members each have their own methods. Some took out some kind of weapons that looked like modified firearms. Some seemed to have undergone some kind of human body modification and shot lasers from their arms. Others were murmuring something in a low voice. An Bing''s body condensed, feeling locked and weakened. I think it''s some kind of special curse. It can be seen. This group of members is already considered the elite of the [Truth Society], and many of them have the aura of sixth-level mystics. But at this time. Dark Ice also showed a combat power that far exceeded that of ordinary sixth-level Mystic Pathfinders. The black hair behind her danced wildly, gradually becoming icy blue. The temperature around me dropped again and again, and tiny ice crystals continued to appear in the air. There was already a large amount of ice-cold secret power stored in this hall, and when she activated it, it was like forming an extremely cold realm. The ice-cold secret power poured out without reservation. It is both a means of attack and a layer of defense. Isolate all enemy attacks. Click...click... Under this chill. One after another, members of the [Truth Society] were frozen into ice sculptures by the extreme cold. Camus, who was watching from the sidelines, became even more angry and tried to step forward and kill An Bing directly. At this time, Xia En came forward and sneered. "Your opponent...is me!" This is exactly what Camus said not long ago. Just like Camus can hold back Shane and Jane so that they can''t be distracted. With Xia En''s full strength, Camus could also be distracted. It is obviously impossible to attack An Bing in front of him. Just now. The [Truth Society] group is too close to the [Eternal Coffin] after all. No matter how fast An Bing was, they would eventually delay him for some time. The headed researcher took out a strange space ring and pressed it towards the [Eternal Coffin] in front of him. Saw this scene. The hearts of Xia En and others couldn''t help but sink to the bottom. Could it be... Were you still unable to stop the [Truth Society]s plan after all? But suddenly. A female voice that seemed vaguely familiar to Xia En sounded in this cold underground hall. "Who allowed you...to touch what belongs to me?" All of a sudden. The members of the [Truth Society] suddenly stiffened, as if they were being targeted by some extremely terrifying existence. The oppressive feeling coming from deep within his instincts made him almost unable to breathe. He slowly raised his head. I saw On that ice coffin, a tall and elegant woman was sitting. Her long hair cascaded down her back. The emerald green eyes are like the most precious gems in the world. No words of praise can describe the beauty of that face. Once you take one look at it, you will never forget it. The slightly pointed ears indicate her ethnicity. "elf?" This [Truth Society] member murmured. "But why are there elves here?" But before he had time to think more, the world in front of him fell into darkness. In the eyes of everyone, the researcher''s body slowly fell to the ground, lifeless. And when he saw the face of the woman who suddenly appeared. Xia En couldn''t help but feel shocked. That voice, that face, that figure... How could he admit his mistake? That woman is the Laila that Shane has always wanted to see! The appearance of Laila undoubtedly gave Shane a stronger impact than when he met Augustine before. Because he never thought that Laila would appear here! and. Laila also claimed that... the [Eternal Coffin] is hers? What''s going on? Under this severe psychological impact, even Xia En lost consciousness for a moment. And Camus in front of him obviously would not let go of such a flaw. "How dare you get distracted while fighting with me?" "Go to hell!" A first-order blade protruded from Camus''s arm. A dazzling silver sword flashed straight towards Xia En. It is condensed with extremely dense secret power, which can cut through almost all obstacles in front of it. If this knife hits, Xia En will be seriously injured even if he doesn''t die. But in the next moment. A long and slender index finger blocked the light of the sword. Shane only felt a hand wrap around his waist. Immediately, that face that he would never forget came into his eyes. "Xia En, long time no see." Lyra said softly. There was a gentle smile on her lips, and there was joy and excitement in her eyes, but there was also a hint of sadness that could not be hidden. Such an expression was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the joy in Xia En''s heart. Because, at the moment of contact with her. Xia En judged - The woman in front of her is not the real, living Laila, but also a projection of [Great Yan]''s memory. But even so, being able to see Laila again was enough to make Shane full of emotions. at the same time. Laila looked at Camus not far away, her expression turning cold again. "You don''t have the qualifications to hurt a man in front of me." Seeing Laila easily blocking his full blow, Camus felt intense vigilance in his heart. "Where did the pure-blood elf come from?" "Isn''t the elven clan already extinct?" "And, this breath..." Before Camus could think too much, Laila''s fingertips touched him lightly. An extreme sense of crisis ensued. (End of chapter) Chapter 383 [Laws of Space and Time] and [Comrade] Chapter 383 [Laws of Space and Time] and [Comrade] Pointed in front of me. It''s obviously just a slender finger. But it gave Camus a feeling that he couldn''t defeat it despite all his efforts. "This is?" Camus was horrified. I just felt that as this finger came closer, everything around me slowed down. The air became stagnant and thick, making breathing difficult. The scale of time is constantly being lengthened. During this long period of time. Camus still couldn''t do anything. He could only watch helplessly as Laila''s blow fell on him. And in the eyes of everyone. But a shocking change took place in Camus. I saw. The silver armor on Camus'' body became pale and dark at a speed visible to the naked eye. It gives people an old and vicissitudes of texture. Its like At this moment, it experienced a very long period of erosion. So much so that the entire armor became tattered. The most obvious place. It was the waist that was hit by Xia En before. Due to the fragmentation of a key chip. The stability and self-healing power of this armor are greatly reduced. And in this waist and abdomen, one after another, large and small cracks naturally appeared. And finally. Under the erosion of this time. These cracks became the starting point for the armor to collapse. It is different from the previous shattering of the dark ice crystal body. The collapse of this armor is more like what happens when some kind of machinery ages and becomes obsolete. Changes that should have taken place over decades or hundreds of years were condensed into just a few seconds. The metallic coating on its surface keeps peeling off. Each part lost its original function and separated from the armor. Soon, Camus was revealed under the armor. At this time, Camus seemed particularly fragile. Like a little girl who was forcibly stripped of her clothes. Not only that. The wash of the power of time also acted on him. In the blink of an eye, Camus changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, and then to an old man with gray hair. "No! This is impossible..." Camus''s dim old eyes widened and he looked at his hands in disbelief. The hands were no longer smooth and elastic, but were covered with wrinkles like dead wood. There are also large and small age spots scattered around. The skin adheres tightly to the knuckles, like dried chicken feet. There is no doubt that these are hands that only old people have. Such a sight undoubtedly broke Camus''s defenses. He could not accept that he suddenly changed from a prime man to a dying old man. After letting out a scream. Camus'' body fell slowly, his heart stopped beating silently, and he lost his life. "He...is dead?" Xia En couldn''t help but look at this scene in surprise. Camus, who was so arrogant just now and made them miserable and difficult to defeat, died like this? Moreover, he died in such an incredible way. It''s almost like he died of old age. "Is this...the power of time?" Soon, Xia En vaguely saw something. Of course he has not forgotten that when Laila was at level 6, the field she mastered was related to time. At this time, Laila''s realm has entered the stage of legend. It is not difficult to surmise that Laila may have mastered the law of time! It goes without saying how powerful the law of time is. Among all the laws, these are probably the top ones. But even so. It directly caused Camus in front of him to change from a young man to an old man, and then to die of old age. It also seems a little too incredible. Doesn''t that mean that Laila can kill every enemy he encounters in this way? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s suspicion, Laila explained. "It''s not that powerful." "What I just used was just an illusion of time." "It''s just that in our perception, the process of his aging is simulated." As long as he waits for a moment, he will find that his body has returned to its original state. "But obviously, his body is weaker than I expected, and that''s why I was scared to death." Simulate the passage of time? Shane was thoughtful. Compared to actually manipulating time, simulation is obviously simpler. Laila continued: "Moreover, this trick is not so effective when encountering a legendary strongman who also controls the power of law." "It has never been a simple matter to truly change the flow of time and reverse time and space." "I see." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly came to his senses. At this time, he also noticed something. Although Camus has legendary strength, he does not seem to have mastered the power of matching laws. It''s also possible. His power of law is more focused on research, which leads to his weakness in combat. However, from Laila''s words, Shane also heard another message. Laila only said that changing the flow of time was not simple, not that she couldn''t do it. It''s obvious. After experiencing the precipitation of time, Laila may be stronger than Shane expected. Looking at Laila who was no longer a girl in front of her. Xia En had countless things to say in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he only said one sentence. "How have you been these past few years?" Laila smiled and said softly. "Not too good, but not too bad either." Looking at her smile, Xia En''s mood was extremely complicated. [Great Yan Kingdom] was in an era where hundreds of years had passed since the elves disappeared. But Laila appeared in this cold underground hall. This shows that she did not go to a [secret realm] that Xia En didn''t know about yet like other elves. Instead, he continued to travel on the mainland. As for the purpose of her travels, Xia En naturally knew it well. King Xin was never the only one who wanted to prevent the disaster of annihilation and fight against [Humi Siming]. After witnessing the arrival of [God''s Wrath] with Xia En. Laila set this goal in her heart. For this reason, she had to give up her identity as the Elf Queen and embark on a journey that lasted hundreds of years. Moreover, it is different from the situation before when the Elf Kingdom still existed. Although Laila cannot return to her hometown. But at least I know that my hometown is always there, and I will have a sustenance in my heart. But later, with the migration of elves. There are almost no others like Laila in the entire [Seven Seas World], and the harbor of the soul no longer exists. No one would understand what Laila did. What kind of loneliness is this? How many hardships has she experienced along the way? Just thinking about this, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but twitch slightly. In fact, Xia En still has many questions to ask. But at this time. On the other side of the hall, the battle between Augustine and the two [Black Flame Walkers] has come to an end. After merging, the Black Flame brothers indeed possess a power close to the eighth level. But under their fierce attack, Augustine still did not show signs of decline. At most, they are only slightly at a disadvantage. And the problem is. After all, the combination of the two brothers has a time limit. When a ghost began to appear on him and he became vaguely unstable, it was time for Augustine to fight back. Take advantage of this opportunity. Augustine''s eyes suddenly burst into light. The already profound momentum was rising again, as vast as the sea. He held his hands in vain. In the air, an indescribable sword slowly emerged. The blade of this big sword is extremely broad and thick, with two sides bladed, and its surface is engraved with waves-like patterns. It exudes a little dark blue halo, looking mysterious and thick. The moment this big sword appeared. Everyone present seemed to be able to hear the sound of the waves. Read the original text in Liu#9@/! It felt like a whistling, salty sea breeze blew across their faces. "This is the legendary...big sword [Wang Yang]." A flash of wonder flashed in Laila''s eyes. and explained to Shane. "This big sword is Augustine''s exclusive weapon." "I accompanied him through the first years of the founding of the [Pirate Principality]." "It is said that whoever holds this sword on the sea can call upon the power of the entire sea. It can be said that one person controls the power of heaven." "Although this is just an existence he imitated based on his memory, it also has one-tenth of the power of the original [Wang Yang]." While he was speaking, Augustine had already raised the big sword high. The illusory sound of the waves became more and more turbulent, and gradually converged into one sound. Single yet deafening. "Drink!" Accompanied by Augustine''s soft drink. He poured all his strength into this sword, and his arms suddenly exerted force. The big sword cut through the air and slashed downwards. From the perspective of the combined Black Flame brothers. This sword has transcended its original form and transformed into something more powerful and terrifying. At this moment. They seemed to be on a vast ocean. In front of them was a huge wave, hundreds of meters high, heading towards them. The sight itself is enough to crush a person''s courage to resist. The moment they regained consciousness, the two brothers only had time to make a blocking gesture before they were hit by such a huge wave. Just with the power of this sword, the two brothers were split into two again, and their bodies were shot away. "puff!" The two people who landed on the ground suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and their breaths were visibly weakened. Being forcibly knocked out of the combined state will cause more serious damage. It can be seen. Although the brothers were safe for the time being, they had lost the ability to fight again. And after defeating the two of them. Augustine turned his indifferent eyes to Xia En and others. Xia En frowned slightly. Theoretically speaking, Augustine has completed the task of the "spell" just now and should temporarily regain consciousness. But now. Instead of diminishing, his hostility has become more intense? What''s going on? Lelazer looked towards the place where the previous researcher died. At this time, the two remaining gems on the corpse''s wrist shattered one after another, exerting some kind of restraining force on Augustine. Seeing this scene, the remaining [Truth Society] members couldn''t help but change their expressions. "not good!" one of them exclaimed. "When the holder of the [Token Stone] dies, the [Token Stone] will automatically activate and issue an order to the experimental subject to eliminate all nearby life forms." "Not just the enemy, he won''t let us go either!" As if to support his statement. Augustine cast his gaze in the direction of the members of the [Truth Society]. immediately. His body seemed to disappear into thin air. And when they appeared again, the heads of several [Truth Society] members had already fallen to the ground. Not only that. Xia En also saw that Augustine''s sword seemed to contain the power to kill souls. That is to say. These members of the [Truth Society] were not only killed by their projections in the [Great Flame], but most of their bodies were also killed. The first move is a cruel and decisive killing move. And it is Augustine''s primary target. visible. In Augustine''s subconscious, he had long wanted to kill these [Truth Society] members quickly. Therefore, he would be the first to kill them the moment the restrictions were lifted. In less than a moment. All the remaining members of the [Truth Society] were killed and injured, leaving corpses on the ground. At this time, Augustine turned his attention to Xia En and others. The moment she met his eyes. Xia En suddenly felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression. At this moment, he seemed to be facing the entire vast sea! In the past, Shane was mostly on the same side as Augustine, so the feeling was not that strong. This is when he truly became an enemy of Augustine. Only then did he understand that the so-called "king" was by no means something that could only be achieved with just one title. And just then. A flash of struggle flashed across Augustine''s face. Some clarity of reason temporarily returned to him. First of all, Augustine looked at Xia En with some surprise and said softly. "Have I... seen you somewhere?" Xia En was suddenly shocked. When Augustine was still young, he once visited the Emerald Isle. There, he happened to experience a certain [God''s Wrath] coming with Xia En. Strictly speaking. That was also the first meeting between Shane and Augustine. But Xia En didn''t expect that the created Augustine in front of him actually knew about this. Come to think of it, the [Truth Society] also reproduced most of Augustines memories. after all. Memory is the foundation of a person''s personality. If his memory were modified, Augustine may not have the understanding of everything in the world, nor may he have such powerful power. Subsequently. Augustine looked at Laila next to Shane again. "...I''ve seen you too." "I even remember your name." "Is your name Laila?" "Strange, why do I feel that I am particularly close to you, and even have an unreasonable trust in you?" Looking at Augustine in front of him. There was a flash of sympathy and anger in Lyra''s eyes. "Augustin, that''s because..." "We were comrades determined to save the world." "Those who share the same goals are called comrades!" "Comrade...?" Augustine chewed the word silently, his eyes lighting up slightly. But the next moment. The power of [Token Stone] came again, trying to control his body and drive him to kill the enemy in front of him. A strong struggle flashed across Augustine''s face. "I can''t control myself anymore." Augustine said seriously. "It''s up to you, my former comrades, to give me the final relief." "...please." (End of chapter) Chapter 384 The secret of [Eternal Coffin] Chapter 384 [The Secret of the Eternal Coffin] While saying this sentence. The effectiveness of the so-called [Order Stone] in the mouth of [Truth Society] members came to Augustine again. His expression gradually became indifferent and cold. His original humanity was being stripped from his soul. Seeing this, Laila sighed softly. "I''ll help you out." After saying that, Laila no longer hesitated and pointed directly towards Augustine. The power of time and space appears again. Like a viscous liquid, it wrapped around Augustine''s body. But this time. The effect of [Token Stone] took full effect. Augustine no longer sat still and waited for death. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he began to struggle violently. The sound of undulating waves echoed around him again. The surrounding air seemed to have turned into a vast sea. Terrible power is accumulating. Seeing this, Xia En also vaguely understood The laws that Augustine mastered were probably related to the "sea" and "ocean". sea. Compared to time, this thing seems unremarkable. This is a common sight in this world. The upper limit seems to be extremely limited. But you must know that common does not mean ordinary. Besides, in this world. [Secret Sea] can also be regarded as a type of sea. on the other hand. The same law, used by different mystics, can produce completely different effects. In the hands of Augustine, the law "the sea" symbolizes the vast and all-encompassing power. At this time, as the power of this law operates. The power of time and space that Laila invested seemed to be drawn into a terrifying whirlpool composed of the sea. It was like a huge millstone, constantly devouring and consuming her power. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly and was ready to take action. But at this time, Laila said. "Xia En, leave this battle to me." "You can take this opportunity to observe the confrontation of the power of law. This will be of great benefit to your promotion to legend in the future." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately calmed down. A faint light flashed in the [Peering Eye of Secrets], and he carefully observed the battle between the two. If it were anyone else, Xia En might think this was nonsense. But since it was Laila who said it, he naturally chose to believe it first and then believe it. At this moment, in the field of vision of [The Eye of Peeping Secrets]. Two completely different laws are engaged in a conflict that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The law of time and space belonging to Laila is like a big net, sealing Augustine in it. Augustine''s law of the sea constantly involves this force in his own domain, with a vague tendency to assimilate it. If it is a general secret power. Maybe he would have been swallowed up by the illusory sea condensed by Augustine in the first place. But obviously. Laila''s power of time and space exists at the same level as him. This makes... although the power of time and space is involved, there is no tendency to be crushed. It''s like... A stone mill can grind grains, but it is almost impossible to grind harder diamonds together. Quite the opposite. When this extremely hard impurity is mixed into the grinding disc. Its own operation will cause certain lags and even serious wear and tear. Just like this time. After the sea realm shaped by Augustine involved Lyra''s power of time and space. Instead, the entire field has gradually become stagnant and dull. It''s like a precision instrument with several disruptive gears jammed into it. Most people simply cannot see the details of this confrontation with the power of law. But in Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets], the power of two distinct laws is clearly presented. And faintly. Shane can also see some more mysterious things that are difficult to describe in words. It seemed like the two had different perceptions of the power of the law. Or like...a brand unique to them? brand? Suddenly, a kind of enlightenment arose in Xia En''s heart. The so-called essence of achieving legend and mastering the power of law may be... leaving a trace of one''s own on the [Great Law]. Only in this way can the legendary mystics be recognized by the [Great Law] and thus master the power beyond ordinary mystics. Because the [Great Law] is a rule that transcends the restrictions of the Secret Realm and spreads throughout the [Secret Sea]. It naturally possesses a very high level and level. When the mystical person leaves a mark on it, it is equivalent to completing the sublimation of one''s own spirituality and no longer being a mortal being. This is why there is such an insurmountable gap between legends and non-legends. Strictly speaking. Xia En was able to defeat the legendary strong man because he mastered the incredible ability of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets] by witnessing the [Great Law]. It can be regarded as using the [Great Law] to defeat the [Great Law]. On the other hand. By watching the two fight. Xia En also discovered that the degree of understanding of different laws determines the depth of the imprint left by the legendary strongman on the [Great Law]. Perhaps this is why there is such a huge gap in strength between the two beings who are both legends. If in the case of fighting Augustine. Shane certainly wouldn''t have been able to discover these details. But for now. However, Laila created an excellent viewing environment for him, allowing him to clearly and truly witness this legendary battle. This is how these realms of legends and laws exist. Xia En naturally saw Laila''s good intentions. He couldn''t help but look at her gratefully. I have to say, it seems good to have a soft meal once in a while? And while Xia En was observing from the side. The battle situation on the field quickly evolved into a fierce situation. Under the control of Lyra and Augustine. The collision between the two forces of law became more intense, so much so that entities appeared in the air. There was a vaguely slender and elegant giant dragon emerging, confronting the sea below. I saw waves of turbulent waves sweeping across the sea, as if they could swallow all the ships in them. But when those huge waves approached the giant dragon, they involuntarily stopped. This is obviously the effect of the power of time and space. The next moment. The waves were scattered by the dragon''s claws. It seems that no matter how strong the wind and waves are, it cannot shake its figure. "It''s time to end this." Lyra sighed. Then, a flash of emerald green light flashed in her eyes, and she held her left hand forward. Buzz A faint vibration came from somewhere in the hall. Xia En turned around and looked, slightly startled. Because the direction from which the vibration came was none other than the location of the [Eternal Coffin] in the deepest part of the icy hall! And with that coffin. Constant vibration. Rise upward. Until then. Only then did Xia En truly see what this [Eternal Coffin] looked like. Immediately, Xia En couldn''t help but widen his eyes and froze on the spot. At the same time, huge waves surged in my heart. Because... that [Eternal Coffin] has a crystal-like shell. It is completely clear and transparent, emitting an indescribable mysterious halo. Its appearance is exactly the same as the crystal coffin carrying ghost lady Vivian on the Black Swan! That is to say. The [Truth Society] has been pursuing so hard and paid such a huge price to obtain the [Eternal Coffin], but it was actually on Xia En''s ship from the beginning? And has it sailed with the [Black Swan] for such a long time? Xia En was shocked in his heart and muttered to himself. "The crystal coffin is the [Eternal Coffin]?" "My previous suspicion is actually true?" "Then what kind of existence is Vivian among them?" Suddenly knowing the truth, even Xia En''s thoughts were a little confused. Actually. 69BookBar Xia En had such a suspicion when he saw the imitation [Eternal Coffin]. But at the time, he felt that this conjecture was a bit outrageous, so he rejected it directly. And now. The [Eternal Coffin] driven by Laila completely confirmed his guess. at this time. Laila didn''t have time to pay attention to Xia En''s suspicion, but directly summoned the [Eternal Coffin] in front of her. Immediately, an extremely terrifying force of ice dissipated. "This is?" Xia En was shocked at first, and then suddenly realized. Xiao Wan had said before that the prisoners of the [People of Ice and Snow] all had devices that could extract the secret power of ice. Moreover, King Xin will also let them deliver a portion of the ice-cold secret power on a regular basis. But now it seems that those icy secret powers have undoubtedly been transported into this [Eternal Coffin] and stored. Perhaps, its role in this research institute is to be a container for storing the secret power of ice. And at this time. However, Laila used it as a killing move to help Augustine in front of her escape. Soon, in Laila''s hands, the [Eternal Coffin] opened a tiny gap. The cold power that seemed to be able to freeze everything flowed out like this. However. This icy force was not aimed at the sea area around Augustine. It''s her own power of time. Shane was a little surprised at first. But soon, he understood Laila''s intention. I saw that the power of freezing, along with Laila''s own power of time, was connected with the secret powers that penetrated into the sea realm. Naturally, he invaded Augustine''s domain. The power to freeze time, blessed by the power of ice, burst out with unexpected miraculous effects. More and more frozen traces began to emerge from the air around Augustine, and quickly expanded inward. Just with Lyra''s power of time and space, Augustine''s domain cannot be completely ruled out. Not to mention, this sudden addition of ice-cold power. In the blink of an eye. Time and space around him seemed to have stopped. It was hard to move anymore. There is no doubt that this is a "dying" situation. When these two forces spread to Augustine''s body, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He opened his mouth slightly, his lips moving slightly. That mouth shape seems to be saying... "Thanks!" Then, there were no surprises. The power of freezing invaded Augustine''s heart, causing his heart to stop beating. This clone, controlled by the [Truth Society], died completely like this. Looking at Augustine''s body in front of him. Xia En was not in a happy mood. He could see that Augustine did not have a particularly strong will to fight in this battle. Rather, Augustine''s battle was originally to seek relief. In addition, this body is not his true body. It is reasonable that he will be defeated by Laila. What made Xia En feel heavy. Since there is such a title as "B5". It means that in front of him, there are "No. B4", "No. B3", and even a copy with the sequence A. When I think about it, I will have to go through several similar battles in the future. Xia En''s mood was not relaxed at all. at the same time. Not far away, the Great Elder who came to the hall with members of the [Truth Society] and several [People of Ice and Snow] had all been subdued by Jian, An Bing and others. They all stayed where they were like quails. Although there was anger in their eyes, they could only be helpless and furious. Even Augustine, who defeated two Great Yan legends, fell into the hands of Laila. Where do they have room to resist? Shane only glanced at these people and then turned his attention to Laila beside him. Until then. He could finally ask the doubts in his heart. Shanes first question is "Laila, why are you here?" Laila didn''t hide it, but said it directly. "Here''s the thing." "In order to find a way to prevent the catastrophe of annihilation, I traveled almost across the entire continent." Finally, I found some faint hope in this [far north]. "The king of [Great Yan Kingdom] proposed an idea." "So I decided to help him give it a try." Laila narrated slowly. But behind the calm tone, there is a story that is difficult to measure in words. "However, I did not reveal my true identity to him, but only temporarily lent him this [Eternal Coffin]." "And when I realized that the [Eternal Coffin] was touched by someone, I came here with the help of the teleportation circle engraved on it." Looking at Xia En in front of her, Laila sighed quietly. "But now I also know that King Xin''s plan has probably failed, right?" "Because, even the person I am here is just a phantom projected by memory. Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. From Laila''s previous attitude. He had also guessed that Laila might already know his current situation. But when he heard Laila say this in person, his mood was particularly complicated. It''s not easy to meet each other. But he discovered that he was not the real body at this time. It must be uncomfortable to feel like this, right? Xia En suppressed his complicated emotions and looked at the [Eternal Coffin] standing in front of him. At this time, through the translucent coffin wall. It can be seen that the coffin is empty, with nothing in it. It was not the place where Vivian''s bones were placed, as it was in later generations. So Xia En couldn''t help but ask. "...This [Eternal Coffin] again?" Laila answered directly. "Actually, the [Eternal Coffin] is a relic from another world line." "It comes from... a destroyed [Seven Seas World]." (End of chapter) Chapter 385 Another possibility of history Chapter 385 Another possibility of history "Another world line?" "The destroyed world of the Seven Seas?" Hear these words. Even Xia En, who thought he was mentally prepared, was still stunned. "What does this mean?" Laila didn''t seem to know where to explain it better, so she asked. "First of all, Captain Shane, do you know what the world line means?" Shane nodded. There is such a concept in various science fiction works that I came into contact with in my previous life. Different world lines often refer to... The result of a certain major event in history led to a different ending in the world. Give an example. Suppose Shane refused Joey''s request to get on the boat when he first went to sea. Then there will be a world line in which Shane does not know Joey. After that, there won''t be any intersection in his and Joey''s lives. certainly. Such small personal matters often do not affect the situation of the entire world. But if there are deviations in those crucial events, the situation will be very different. For example... King Xin failed to prevent the great flood from coming to the world line! Seeing that Xia En understood what she meant, Laila spoke. "Captain Shane, have you ever thought about..." "In another possibility of history, King Xin not only failed to prevent the coming of the world-destroying flood, but also failed to reduce its power." "As a result, the world-destroying flood washed away the [Seven Seas World] without reservation." "The sea level of the entire world has reached an incredible height." Laila said with a serious expression, as if she had witnessed such a scene with her own eyes. "In that world, even the number of islands is very few. It can be called a real ''blue water world''." "This also means the complete demise of human civilization." "Even if there are still some survivors in that world." "But because the number is too rare and is gradually declining, it can no longer be regarded as a complete civilization." "This is what I mean by the destroyed [Seven Seas World]." Hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but hold his breath. Have to admit. The other possibility Lila spoke of did exist. After all, in Shane''s opinion. King Xin sealed the great flood, which was an incredible feat. At this stage, if any problem occurs, it may lead to the collapse of the plan. Just quickly. Another question popped up in Shane''s mind. If the [Eternal Coffin] is a relic from another world line. Then how did Laila know about the existence of another world line and obtain this [Eternal Coffin]? Shane simply asked Laila this question directly. Leila explained. "Actually, I don''t know the specific reason." "But when I was promoted to Legend, I vaguely felt that there was something calling me in the [Secret Sea]." "So, after performing a complex and precise ritual." "I successfully summoned that thing. This is the origin of this [Eternal Coffin]." "The moment I touched this coffin, the corresponding information automatically appeared in my mind." "That''s how I learned about the existence of another world line." "As for why this [Eternal Coffin] is calling me..." "Think about it, maybe it has something to do with me in that world line?" "I see." Shane was thoughtful. Although Laila''s words still sound a bit fanciful, most people may not believe it at all. But Xia En believed that what he said was the truth. If another world line really exists. Then, Laila in that world will definitely try her best to prevent disaster before the [Seven Seas World] is destroyed. And this [Eternal Coffin] is most likely her last legacy. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but ask. "Laila, have you ever heard of the name Vivian?" Laila''s expression was a little strange and she said doubtfully. "Vivian... isn''t this our family''s last name?" "You mean, someone used it as a name?" "If that''s the case, then it''s probably just a code name or a pseudonym, right?" Xia En frowned slightly and asked again. "So, where is Nirvana?" Laila looked equally confused. "Nirvana, what is that?" "Sounds like a powerful character." After receiving such an answer, Xia En could not help but frown deeper. He originally thought that he could learn the origin of Vivian from Laila. But now it seems that even Laila doesnt know Vivians true identity? Seeing the change in Xia En''s expression, Laila thought about it and said. "Right now, I don''t know who the Vivian you are talking about is." "But if it''s another me created by [Great Yan], maybe it can give you the answer you want, right?" Hearing this, Xia En opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise. "Do you even know about the existence of [Great Flame]?" No wonder Xia En was so surprised. It can be said. The Laila in front of me and the other people in this memory scene are equivalent to the NPCs created by [Great Flame]. In theory, it will only act according to certain patterns and memories. The previous King Xin only vaguely noticed the abnormality in the space he was in, which already surprised Xia En. At this time, Laila was even aware of the existence of [Great Flame]. This is equivalent to a preset game where a character suddenly breaks the dimensional wall and speaks the name of the game maker. How does this not shock Shane? Laila smiled slightly and explained. "In fact, the fact that I know this is also related to the [Eternal Coffin]." "This relic has some characteristics that transcend time and space." "This also allows it to serve as an [anchor] for memory." "The other me created by [Great Flame] left this information in the [Eternal Coffin], allowing me to know their existence and the truth of this space." "Other you?" Xia En subconsciously repeated this sentence and quickly woke up. Yes. Since Laila once appeared in [Great Yan Country]. Then, it is very likely that she will appear in other memory scenes. Moreover, because different memory scenes occur at different times. Each Leila has different memories. Perhaps Laila who is further back in time will know Vivian''s true identity. To be honest, Shane still had many questions in his mind. But the situation at this time obviously did not allow him to ask all the questions. suddenly. boom! ! A dull loud noise suddenly came from above everyone''s heads. Immediately afterwards, the ground under people''s feet and the surrounding walls began to shake. It was like causing a terrible earthquake. "This is?" Xia En''s expression immediately became very solemn. He could feel that this kind of vibration seemed familiar. This is not only a shock to this underground research, but also an irreversible collapse of this entire memory space. But the problem is. They clearly haven''t destroyed the nodes in this scene yet? Laila saw Shane''s confusion and explained. "This is probably because the invasion of those members of the [Truth Society] attracted the attention of [Da Yan]." "Not only that, but the confrontation between strange legendary forces will also attract his attention." When Xia En heard this, he immediately understood. The [Butterfly Dream] technology used by the [Truth Society] is certainly extraordinary. But obviously there are no limitations. Simply put. [Great Flame] is not really unable to detect their arrival, it just requires a certain amount of reaction time. On the other hand. What Moritz said before about [Great Flame]''s restrictions on legends was also reflected at this time. 69BookBar It can allow existences below level six to enter. But he is wary of the legendary powerhouse. This is probably because the legendary Mystic Path may already pose a threat to Him. Think about it carefully. The reason why the condition of Augustine B5 appears to be abnormal. It seems that it was precisely because she was forcibly promoted to the legendary realm after entering [Great Flame]. Rather than arriving directly in the realm of legend. But even so, his battle with Laila still aroused [Da Yan]''s vigilance. Coupled with the existence of members of the [Truth Society], this memory scene collapsed at this time. At this time, Jane took a step forward. She first glanced at Laila, who was in front of her with a beautiful appearance and was obviously an elf. Then she looked at Xia En and said seriously. "Captain Shane, it''s time to eliminate the nodes in this scene." Shane fell into a brief silence. He naturally understood what Jane meant. The moment Laila appeared, the [Fire] in his arms immediately changed significantly. The hot temperature continued to accumulate in the wooden box, as if it was going to burn Xia En''s skin. With the experience of facing the salary king before. Xiao En still didn''t know that Laila in front of him was the key node of this memory scene. only. Xia En also wanted to ask her more questions and spend more time with her. That''s why he didn''t express his intention in the first place. But for now. Jane took the initiative to say this out, undoubtedly hoping that he could make a decision as soon as possible. Don''t waste precious time and put them in danger. Shane saw Jane''s intention. He also understood that this was not the time to reminisce about the past. Eliminating the nodes in front of you as soon as possible is the wisest choice. Reasonable to reason. When I thought about how hard it was for me to finally see Laila again, I had to say goodbye right away. This feeling is really melancholy. At this time, Laila took the initiative to speak. "You are here just to destroy the undead [Great Yan], right?" "Xia En, don''t hesitate anymore." "Besides, didn''t I promise you?" "I will definitely meet you again in the future, and it will not be in this phantom form of the past, but in real terms, in reality." "So, don''t worry or be sad, please continue to move forward and complete your mission." With that said, Laila gently pushed the [Eternal Coffin] forward. "Although this [Eternal Coffin] is just a fake created by [Great Flame]." "But it also has my mark on it." "Perhaps, you can use this as an [anchor] to find me in other memory scenes." "There''s only so much I can do." Looking at Laila''s calm and gentle expression. Xia En sighed softly in his heart, but he also suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. Without hesitation, he took out the [Fire] directly from his arms. Push forward slightly. In the light of [fire]. Laila''s body gradually faded, as if it was constantly melting and fading, taking on a translucent texture. She waved gently towards Xia En and whispered softly. "We...see you in the future." After a while. Laila''s figure disappeared, and Shane''s heart felt empty. Even though he knew that the Laila in front of him was not her real body. But seeing Laila disappear with his own eyes also made him feel uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Xia En turned around and looked at An Bing not far away, a look of sympathy flashed in his eyes. Maybe not too long ago. Did An Bing have a similar mood when he saw King Xin disappear? But now is obviously not the time to be sentimental. Because, with Laila''s disappearance. This scene has lost its supporting nodes. The vibrations that had occurred before became more intense. Cracks began to appear from the dome of the hall. Small rocks kept falling from above. Xia En suddenly showed a solemn expression. Obviously, this underground research institute is already in danger and is on the verge of collapse at any time. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to escape from the institute under such circumstances. Just now. But Xia En suddenly remembered what Laila said before she disappeared. "[Eternal Coffin]...[Anchor Point]..." Xia An opened his eyes wide, suddenly realized something, and said to everyone. "Come here, everyone, and stay with me." Jane was also aware of it and looked at the [Eternal Coffin] with a gap open in front of her. Wait until An Bing comes to his side. Xia En stretched out his hand and gently opened the lid of the [Eternal Coffin]. The next moment. An irresistible attraction came from it. Suction Xia En and others into the coffin. Wait until you open your eyes again. The world around him has completely changed. After the short-term dizziness subsides. Shane opened his eyes and began to look around. I saw that the nearby scene was no longer a cold underground hall. Rather, it is a town above the surface. It can be seen that the state of the town is quite primitive and crude. Under the gray sky, there are stone roads laid out randomly. On both sides of the road, houses made of piled stones stand staggered. With only hay as filler in the gaps, it looked extremely shabby. There were very few people on the streets. At this time, two residents happened to be walking towards me. The two men were sallow and thin, wearing tattered animal skin clothes, and their faces were red from the cold. It seems that he noticed the arrival of "Xia En". The two people''s faces suddenly showed alert and strange expressions. "Who are you?" "What''s that on your back?" Um? Shane was stunned for a moment. He shouldn''t be carrying anything behind him. After thinking about it carefully, Xia En suddenly realized that the situation was abnormal. (End of chapter) Chapter 386 The reborn me is the [Eternal Coffin]? Chapter 386: The reborn me is [Eternal Coffin]? The first abnormality that Xia En noticed was He obviously didn''t move, but his perspective was still moving forward. And feel it carefully for a moment. Xia En was shocked to find that he couldn''t even feel the existence of his eyes, limbs, or even body! Its like His body was fixed in a closed space. You can only passively observe everything in the outside world. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a bold and ridiculous conjecture. "Am I... now in the [Eternal Coffin]?!" It was the movement of the [Eternal Coffin] that caused his perspective to change. Realizing this possibility, Xia En felt weird at first, and then couldn''t help but feel a little worried. after all. He entered the [Eternal Coffin] together with Jane, Carles, and An Bing. But at this time, Xia En did not sense their presence. So where exactly were they transported to? And is it safe? However, on the other hand. Shane''s intuition told him that there was a high probability that Carles and others would be safe. Or rather. He was actually the only one who really fell into this weird situation. Then again. At the moment, even if Xia En is worried about Carles and the others, he doesn''t have the energy to do anything. Who made him lose the ability to act independently at this time? I can only watch the development of external events. After trying hard for a moment. Shane finally found a way to adjust his perspective. then. He shifted his perspective in front of himself and suddenly realized. It turns out that there is a slightly petite body underneath him. And even though the other person was wearing a black robe and a hood, Xia En could still identify him at a glance She is none other than Laila who just disappeared in front of him! Xia En suddenly felt happy and suddenly understood his situation. It is certain that he is currently inside the [Eternal Coffin]. His perspective at this time is exactly that of the [Eternal Coffin]. That is to say. What he is experiencing now is probably what happened on the [Eternal Coffin] in the past. Thinking about it carefully, Laila mentioned the "Eternal Coffin" as an anchor point, probably for this reason. Xia En''s mood suddenly felt strange. "What''s this?" "The reborn me is the [Eternal Coffin]?" Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, Xia En focused on the scene in front of him. It''s not hard to see. The town in front of you should be located somewhere in the [Great Yan Kingdom]. However, its time point is much earlier than the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] in later generations. That''s why it looks so barren and backward. It is full of the unique bitter cold style of [the Far North]. The reason why Laila was alerted and questioned was also very simple. Her figure is already considered tall among women, but compared to this [Eternal Coffin], she still looks a bit petite and slender. Carrying such a huge coffin. No matter how you look at it, it looks suspicious, and it''s hard not to attract the attention of others. At this time. Xia En was also keenly aware of something. [Eternal Coffin], it seems that it cannot be placed in relics such as space rings? This may be because it contains certain laws of space and time within itself, which are mutually exclusive with space devices. This resulted in Laila having to carry it on her back and move forward alone. And the days of walking alone in a coffin like this may take hundreds of years to measure. Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly remembered the strange behavior of the members of the Truth Society before. Lets not talk about whether the special space ring in his hand can fit the [Eternal Coffin] into it. To know. The [Eternal Coffin] in that memory scene was clearly just a fake created by Dayan. Isn''t the real body still located on Shane''s Black Swan? Why would members of the Truth Society attach so much importance to a counterfeit and send so many people to seize it? Shane still remembers. When he was about to touch the [Eternal Coffin], the member called it "The key to the new world?" What does this mean? The more he thought about it, the more doubts Xia En had. But now, the development of the situation in front of him attracted Xia En''s attention. After hearing the two people''s questions. Laila asked back: "Is this the [Great Yan Country]?" "It''s really a remote and desolate place." Hearing her voice, the two town residents looked at each other in surprise. "woman?" "And, you actually know the name [Great Yan Country]?" "It''s only been half a year since King Xin announced the founding of the country, right?" Half a year may not be a short time for a person. But for a country, it is just the beginning. It''s like a newborn baby. Not to mention, the [Great Yan Kingdom] Sea is located in a place like [The Far North] far away from the Southern Continent. The flow of information is extremely limited. Many kingdoms on the continent may not even know that such a country has been quietly established. At this time, the two immediately saw Laila''s identity as an outsider. after all. There are only so many residents in their small town. Almost everyone is an acquaintance. When such a suspicious-looking man in black robe suddenly appeared, he could naturally tell this immediately. Although I can see that Laila is a lonely foreign woman. But neither man had any inappropriate thoughts in his mind. Its not because [Dayan Country] has simple folk customs and kind-hearted people. But simply because... They know that the person who can cross the wasteland and come to the [Far North] alone cannot be some weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. The more eccentric people look like this, the more they cannot afford to offend them. but. As men in this small town, it is impossible for them to remain indifferent to Laila''s actions. Just these days. In other areas of [Great Yan Kingdom], there were several **** massacres. These residents were so frightened that they did not even dare to go out. Only then did they maintain a high degree of vigilance against outsiders. Even though he was a little uneasy, after hesitating for a moment, one of the town residents still asked. "Madam, what do you want to do when you come to our town?" Laila said directly without hiding her purpose. "I came to [Great Yan Country] to look for the King of Salary." "Excuse me, which city is Xinxiang located in now?" "Is there a map of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]? I can trade it for supplies or money." Hearing this, the two couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. Able to communicate and express one''s intentions directly, indicating... There is a high probability that this outsider is not the same person as the murderer who massacred several towns. Otherwise. The other party wouldn''t talk nonsense with them, they would just go on a killing spree. However, facing Laila''s problem. Both of them had a slightly embarrassed look on their faces. "Madam, we are just residents of this remote town." "Where do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Xinwang?" "But I heard that King Xin seems to be building a city called ''Fanyan'' recently." "You can try your luck there." "As for where Fanyan City is, we don''t know." After listening, Laila was not discouraged and nodded. "I see." As if they felt that Laila''s attitude was more friendly, the expressions of the two small town residents softened slightly and were not as stiff as they were at the beginning. One of them kindly reminded me. "Girl, I don''t know what you want from King Salary? "But now, our [Great Yan Kingdom] has just been established, and King Xin must be busy with a lot of things." "It''s not that easy to meet him. You have to be mentally prepared." Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! Lyra smiled. "Don''t worry, the last thing I lack is patience." From the perspective of [Eternal Coffin], Xia En curled his lips and smiled knowingly. As an elf of immortality. Laila is indeed qualified to say such things. Seeing the outsider''s resolute attitude, the residents of the two towns stopped trying to persuade him and gave him another reminder. "By the way, girl, the [Great Yan Kingdom] is not peaceful recently." "There are many unidentified thugs running around in various towns and committing many horrific murders." "Some towns don''t even have a single person left alive, so you have to be careful." After hearing this, Xia En immediately woke up. In the underground research institute, he learned that the die-hards among the "People of Ice and Snow" not only secretly disobeyed King Xin''s orders, but also hid their identities and massacred innocent civilians and assassinated people in the "Great Yan Kingdom" all over the "Great Yan Kingdom". ] official. It''s obvious. It was exactly such an incident that these two town residents mentioned. Think about it now. King Xin used those [people of ice and snow] who committed capital crimes as experimental materials. It doesn''t seem that excessive. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This is the reason why King Xin did this. otherwise. How can we wash away the hatred of those innocent people of [Great Yan Kingdom]? at this time. After hearing the words of the two people, Laila did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he looked in a direction not far away. The two men didn''t know why. The person who reminded me before asked: "Girl, how..." Before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by his companion. The companion''s body trembled slightly, and he held his hand and retreated silently. Until then. No matter how dull this man was, he still noticed that something was wrong. After he turned his head to look in the direction of Laila''s gaze, he couldn''t help but feel his breath hitch. I saw. In the pale wasteland, a figure wearing **** clothes and a white mask came out from behind a hill. His clothes seemed to be stained red by blood, which was so red that it made people feel a little uncomfortable. There was also sticky blood dripping from the corners of his clothes. On the gray-white earth, there are spots of scarlet left behind. This shows that he just completed a massacre not long ago. That man exudes a fierce evil spirit all the time, which is enough to make the lower level secret path practitioners tremble with fear. "Haha...little girl, I originally planned to wait until you left before taking action." The middle-aged man smiled coldly. "But since you discovered my existence in advance, I have no choice but to kill you too." And the moment they see each other. Xia En''s mood also fluctuated momentarily. Because, even if the other person is wearing a mask on his face. Based on the aura emanating from the other party, he could also tell This masked man is the great elder of the [People of Ice and Snow] who was put on countless shackles not long ago and was imprisoned deep in the underground research institute. really. Just like what Xiaowan said, this great elder once massacred several towns in the country [Great Yan Kingdom]. And this unknown town was originally one of his targets. It was only the arrival of Laila that slightly disrupted his plan. At this moment. The two town residents clearly realized that the masked man was the recently active murderer, and their expressions suddenly changed. "Hurry, run away!" After leaving these words, they fled in a hurry. After all, there is a huge difference in strength between the two. Even if they stay here, they won''t be of any help. In response, the masked man, or rather the great elder, gave a cruel smile. "Run away. Anyway, you can''t escape from my grasp." A flash of violent pleasure appeared in his eyes. It can be said. He was admiring the fear and despair shown by these guys who had polluted the [Far North] while fleeing. But this time. The great elder glanced at Laila unexpectedly. "Why don''t you run away yet?" Laila gently placed the [Eternal Coffin] on the ground, and then said lightly. "You are the one who should run away." "Arrogant!" The great elder snorted coldly. Just the next moment. His figure turned into a blood shadow and came to Laila at a speed that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. Compared with the old man who was aging, weak and on the verge of death in that underground research institute. The great elder in front of him was undoubtedly at the peak of his strength. With just one move, the terrifying power of ice was crushing towards Laila from all directions. It was as if the entire space was to be completely frozen. However. What neither of the warring parties expected was this. At the moment when the ice-cold power surged over. [Eternal Coffin], which had been silent all this time, suddenly reacted. This crystal coffin opened a gap slightly, swallowing the ice-cold power of the great elder into it like a cow drinking from a whale. In the blink of an eye. The freezing coldness disappeared. Even after that, [Eternal Coffin] still vaguely exuded some unsatisfied emotions. As if to say, it wants more! "Um?" At this time, not to mention the great elder, even Laila, the holder of the [Eternal Coffin], showed an expression of surprise. This was also the first time she knew that this crystal coffin had such abilities. From the perspective of the [Eternal Coffin], Xia En only felt a cold power pouring into his body. Quite comfortable? Suddenly, a strange suspicion occurred in Xia En''s mind. Could it be said. Was it after this battle that Laila developed the ability of the [Eternal Coffin] to contain the power of ice? This kind of thing can''t help but make Xia En feel dumbfounded. At the same time, the battle in the field is not over yet. Although the great elder''s expression changed slightly due to this sudden change, he did not completely lose his fighting ability. He contained the secret power within his body and carefully attacked Laila. Seeing this, Laila drew out a slender sword and stabbed the great elder. (End of chapter) Chapter 387 The origin of [Prophecy of Destruction]! The origin of Chapter 387 [Prophecy of Destruction]! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) Look at this long sword with obvious elf style. Xia En was a little surprised. Because Laila had always given him the feeling that she was more of a mage than a warrior. But for now. Laila took out this elf sword as a weapon, which was a bit surprising. Only after this sword was thrust out. Xia En quickly saw the significance of this sword. Then, the long sword in Laila''s hand stabbed the great elder. The flow of time around the Great Elder seemed to have undergone extremely strange changes. Time began to accelerate as it approached the area of ????the long sword. And time away from the long sword becomes sluggish. This also created an extremely strange phenomenon In the eyes of the great elder. The speed of this sword was extremely fast, like lightning, and it was almost impossible to dodge. And from Lila''s perspective. The Great Elder''s movements were slowed down several times. Any evasive movements he made were clearly displayed in Laila''s eyes. It can be adjusted at any time according to the actions of the great elder. "What a powerful sword." Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little amazed in his heart. Slow down the enemy''s time. Accelerate your own time. This back and forth magnified the gap between the two to an extremely exaggerated level. This kind of combat skill achieved with the help of time flow can only be described as "incredible". It can be seen. At this point in time, Laila also has a very profound knowledge of the power of time and her own set of methods of using it. It is not a simple and mindless way to directly release this power. Think about it too. The Southern Continent of this era was still in a war-torn stage. Wars between various kingdoms occurred from time to time. Laila can travel the entire continent alone under such circumstances. Naturally, extraordinary strength is needed as the foundation. In the process of traveling, I have made great progress in using the power of time and space. at the same time. Facing this sword that seemed impossible to dodge no matter what. A flash of horror flashed through the eyes under the Great Elder''s mask. "How is that possible?" "How could it be so fast..." However, when the flow of time slowed down, it wasn''t just his movements that slowed down. Even his thinking became very slow. Therefore, when the great elder came up with this idea. Laila''s sword had already pierced into his chest. A "chi" sound. Blood splatters! However, the moment the pain is transmitted to the brain. The great elder was freed from that weird time turbulence. He groaned. The entire body shattered into countless tiny ice crystals in an instant. By the time they reunited, they had appeared dozens of meters away from Laila. This secret technique similar to "Ice Crystal Clone" is the specialty of [People of Ice and Snow]. Even so, there was still a big gap in the great elder''s chest. Although this wound was frozen by his ice-cold secret power, he would not die from excessive blood loss. But the hidden wounds left by this sword, as well as Laila''s unique secret power, still remain in the great elder''s body. at this time. The expression under the Great Elder''s mask was no longer as casual and arrogant as it was at the beginning, but instead became extremely solemn. "Where did this strange legend come from?" Through the previous confrontation, he had already judged the opponent''s strength and rank. This is definitely a strong person above the level of legend. This made him immediately restrain his previous cat-and-mouse mentality. In this era, the legendary strong man is by no means just a cabbage. Each legendary powerhouse has his own unique abilities and laws. A strange legend that suddenly appeared in [the Far North] naturally made the Great Elder extremely wary. And that weird coffin... If it is normal. The Great Elder had already fully opened his domain, covering Laila with a bone-chilling icy domain, thus creating a battle arena that was favorable to him. However, the coffin that swallowed the power of ice forced him to give up such plans. Just then. The great elder''s expression suddenly changed and he asked. "What did you do to my body?" With the perception of a legendary strong man, he quickly noticed My body seems to be... gradually aging? This surprised him. No one wants to age faster. Especially for a middle-aged man. Laila had no intention of explaining to the great elder, but just said lightly. "I said it." "You are the one who should run away." By this time, the Great Elder no longer regarded this sentence as a ridiculous nonsense. But I really felt the oppression from Laila. With a hint of gloom in his eyes, the Great Elder said coldly. "Then, let''s try this trick." The words just fell. A large ball of pale and hazy ice mist spread out with the Great Elder as the center, completely covering his figure, as if carrying a piercing murderous intent. Available at the first time. Laila sensed the great elder''s true intention. He wants to escape! At the moment when the ice mist spread. The figure of the masked man quickly retreated away from Laila. Although the anger in his heart continued to surge, being forced to run away was even more humiliating. But the great elder still made the most correct choice at the moment. first. His purpose was not this unknown and strange foreign legend. I will face each other just because of an accident. There is no need to fight to the death with Laila. on the other hand. Not that long ago. The great elder had just killed several [Black Flame Walkers]. Maybe, someone has already spread the news that he is here. It may attract other [Black Flame Walkers] and even King Xin to pursue him! It is definitely not a wise move to continue fighting with Laila here. As for face? At the age of the great elder, he no longer cares about such illusory things. From the perspective of [Eternal Coffin], Xia En couldn''t help but feel strange. In order to survive, this great elder would do anything. I have to say. From a warrior''s perspective, this may be a bit shameful. But if you regard it as an enemy. This kind of old guy who doesn''t care about face and uses any means is much more troublesome than those stupid young people who don''t know how to adapt. And Laila naturally would not let the Great Elder escape just like that. She took a step forward and stabbed three swords in the direction of the great elder''s escape. These three swords seemed to fall in the air in front of them. In fact, it traveled directly through space and hit the figure that was running away in a hurry. laugh! laugh! laugh! In an instant, three **** of blood exploded on the great elder''s neck, heart, and left waist. His fast-moving figure was stunned. The deepest of these three wounds was so deep that even the bones were visible. Even though the Great Elder immediately filled the wound with ice crystals, it still left a deep wound. Not to mention, the power of time and space attached to the sword once again invaded the great elder''s body. puff! A mouthful of blood spat out from under the mask. The Great Elder''s mood had changed from surprise to horror. Until then. Only then did he realize that this unknown legend was actually powerful enough to crush him! "Damn, damn, damn!" The great elder cursed crazily in his heart. "How could it be such an unlucky thing to meet such a powerful legendary man?" Despite this, he did not give up the opportunity to escape. While running, the great elder took out a silver pocket watch from his arms and channeled his secret power into it. A silver halo suddenly lit up from the pocket watch. Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! And it quickly spread throughout his body. It entered an extremely magical state. The state of the great elder''s entire body seemed to be frozen at that moment just now. Regardless of the injuries on his body or the power of time and space that Laila had invaded his body, they were all in a state of suspension. It won''t have any impact on him. at the same time. What keeps it frozen is its extremely fast speed. This does not mean that the great elder''s body stopped, but it means - He still maintained the same speed as before and fled away steadily. "Huh? This is..." Even Laila, who has profound knowledge in the field of time and space, couldn''t help showing a surprised expression when she saw this scene. She could tell that the Great Elder was in an intermediate state between stillness and movement. Clearly, the heartbeat, blood and even the flow of secret power in his body all stopped. But his body seemed to maintain some strange inertia and continued to move forward. It gives people a feeling...as if they are caught in time. Laila even felt that even if she attacked the Great Elder now, she would not be able to cause any harm to him, let alone kill him completely. Thinking of this, Laila simply put down the sword in her hand, stopped chasing the opponent, and murmured. "What a strange power of time and space..." "Is it the effect of that silver pocket watch?" On the other side. After witnessing all this, Xia En in the [Eternal Coffin] felt huge waves in his heart. "That''s...[a moment of time]?" "But why did it appear in the hands of the great elder of [People of Ice and Snow]?" And, this strange stillness. It is also very different from the "moment of time" in Xia En''s memory. Suddenly, Shane reacted. Who said that the great elder of the [Ice and Snow People] in front of me is just the great elder? Because of Xiaowan''s introduction, Xia En preconceivedly identified the man as the great elder of the "People of Ice and Snow". But maybe He did not hold the position of great elder from the beginning. Before becoming the great elder, this man might have been the patriarch of the [People of Ice and Snow]! Only then can you have the right to use [Instant Time]. What Xia En doesnt know is In history, this patriarch was killed precisely because of his battle with Laila. His vitality was severely damaged, and he had to temporarily step down as team leader and go into seclusion for training. After that, he became the great elder in Xiaowan''s mouth. As for this [moment of time], Xia En feels like... The "golden body" from a certain game in the previous life? Temporarily immune to any external or internal damage. only. In the "golden body" state of [Snap Time], the user can even move. The effect is quite incredible. This helped the Great Elder escape from Laila. Xia En took another look at Laila, who was looking thoughtful not far away, and suddenly came up with a bold guess - Laila, will it be related to the [Flash of Time] in later generations? after all. In Xia En''s perception, the entire [Seven Seas World]. The only secret person who breaks through the legend based on the law of time is Laila. If anyone can transform [Instant Time]. I''m afraid only Laila can do that. Not waiting for Xia En to continue thinking. Woo An atmospheric scream suddenly came from high in the sky. It was as if something was tearing through the air at extremely fast speeds and rushing in this direction. Shane adjusted his perspective slightly. Then he saw it in the gray-white sky. There is a hot and bright fireball falling towards this place. Like a meteorite breaking through the atmosphere. But Xia En knows that the stars in this world are actually the projections of other [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea] in the sky, and there are no real meteorites. And take a closer look. Only then did he see what kind of meteorite was there? And it was clearly a figure wrapped in flames! Through the tall and majestic figure, and the vast aura that followed. Xia En quickly recognized the other party''s identity. That is the king of [Great Yan Kingdom]King Xin! Only he can do it by turning into a meteorite like this. Laila narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up at the approaching fireball, seeming to be observing something. After a few breaths. King Xin slowed down his speed and landed in front of Laila. The King of Xin in this era was not as high-spirited as he was when he got married in later generations, nor was he as heavy as he was after awakening his memories. Instead, he showed a somewhat childish temperament. It is somewhat similar to the Yan Yan that Xia En is familiar with. After seeing the strange-looking Laila in front of me. King Xin asked warily: "Who are you?" "Who were you fighting again just now?" Just now, the battle between two legendary strongmen attracted the attention of King Xin. That''s why he rushed to the scene so quickly. "You are the salary king of [Great Yan Kingdom], right?" Laila said calmly. "Just now, a legendary strong man wearing a mask attacked me, and I was forced to fight back." "...Wearing a mask?" Upon hearing this feature, King Xin''s expression changed slightly and he asked. "In which direction did he escape?" For such a murderer who massacred his own people, King Xin naturally did not intend to let him go. The fact that he personally took action to arrest this shows that he attaches great importance to this matter. Laila pointed to the direction in which the great elder fled. "He should have fled far away." "However, he was seriously injured by me, and he probably won''t make another move during this period." "What?" King Xin couldn''t help but be a little surprised. He knew very well that the murderer was very powerful, and even several legendary [Black Flame Walkers] were defeated by that guy. But now. This mysterious man actually claimed to have seriously injured him? Surprised, King Xin''s intuition told him that the other party was not lying. So, he asked again. "Excuse me, what do you want to do when you come to [Great Yan Country]?" Laila said directly. "Actually, King Xin, I''m here to find you." "Looking for me?" King Xin raised his eyebrows: "What do you want from me?" Laila said slowly: "I came here to tell you a prophecy." "one" "Prophecy of the impending destruction of the world." (End of chapter) Chapter 388 Three meetings between Laila and King Xi Chapter 388 Lailas three meetings with King Xin (Happy New Years Eve!) "Prophecy of world destruction?" King Xin silently chewed on what Laila said, and the first emotion that emerged in his heart was naturally absurd. Anyone suddenly hears a stranger saying to themselves that the end of the world is coming. I''m afraid this will be the reaction. only. King Xin was King Xin after all, and he didnt just walk away because of Lailas ridiculous remarks. Coupled with the legendary realm and strength displayed by Laila. King Xin thought for a while and asked patiently. "Sir, are you serious?" "certainly." Laila''s tone was calm as she narrated. "In the not-too-distant future, there will be a great flood sweeping the entire world from [the Far North]." "Submerge most of the world''s land mass." "More than 90% of humanity will die in this disaster, and countless kingdoms will be completely destroyed." At this point, Laila looked at him with a slightly sympathetic look. "And the first one to bear the brunt is your [Great Yan Kingdom]." "What did you say?" King Xin frowned slightly, feeling that Laila''s words were getting more and more absurd. "What flood swept the world?" "And you are the first to arrive in [the Far North]?" If it were those generals with bad tempers under him, after hearing these alarmist words, they would be so angry that they would beat this man out directly. But King Xin''s temperament is relatively mild and friendly. After thinking for a moment, he asked first. "Your Excellency, are you a believer of the Netherworld Sect or other secret sects?" Obviously, King Xin regarded Laila as a follower of some evil god. I''m spreading some kind of doctrine to him! after all. In King Xin''s impression, the only ones who would be keen on spreading doomsday prophecies were the followers of these evil gods. Use the end of the world to trick others into joining the cult. This is also a very common method. Zaixin Wang wants to come. Next, Laila would explain to him the way to save the world and proclaim her Lord and Savior. But who knows, Laila shook her head at this time. "I''m not a believer in some evil god." "It would be better to say that the person who caused this world-destroying disaster was an alien **** from outside the [Seven Seas World]." The mere mention of His name may draw His attention. "So I can only tell you... He is a great commander!" "Da Siming?" Upon hearing this title, King Xin''s expression changed slightly. If Laila casually announced the name of an outside god, King Xin would be suspicious. However, he had actually seen the suffix "Si Ming" in an ancient book. Therefore, we know that they are some particularly powerful beings among the outer gods. He holds some incredible authority. But even so. The doomsday prophecies in Laila''s mouth are still too bizarre and alarmist. King Xin obviously couldn''t believe its existence so easily. So, he asked again. "So, where did you learn about this prophecy?" A look of nostalgia appeared on Laila''s face under the hood, and then she said. "This is what a person from the future told me." "Coupled with my verification, the source of this major flood was finally confirmed." "A person from the future?" King Xin''s expression was extremely strange. He seemed to be surprised more often today than he had been in the past year. But this is really because what Laila said is too fantastic. Whether it''s a world-ending disaster or some kind of future visitor, they all seem to exist only in fantasy. Even if King Xin is already a legendary powerhouse, it is difficult to imagine that someone can travel through time and space and go back to the past. And yet, Laila seems to still believe in this matter? This sounds a bit too ridiculous. King Xin forced himself to suppress his strange emotions and asked the last question. "Even if you knew this prophecy, why did you tell me about it?" Laila said directly. "The reason is simple." "Because...that person from the future once mentioned your deeds." "And it seems to me that, if anyone, there is anyone in the world today who could have prevented this catastrophe." "That person can only be you." King Xin was stunned again. He didn''t expect that this strange legend would give him such a high evaluation. after all. It is different from the situation in later generations where King Xins deeds were widely spread across the Seven Seas. During this time period, the [Great Yan Kingdom] in the [Far North] had just been established. Moreover, the people on this land have always been regarded as exiled sinners by the mainstream kingdoms in the southern continent. Many kingdoms showed disgust and contempt towards [Great Yan Kingdom]. So much so that when [Dayan Kingdom] was established, almost no other kingdoms came to attend the ceremony. The founding ceremony seemed very shabby. His title as the Salary King is almost only known to the citizens of his own country. Looking at the entire [Seven Seas World], he is just an unknown king. But at this time. The other party claimed that only he could save the world. The young King Xin, while in a strange mood, could not help but feel a bit complacent. After all. The salary king who became famous in the seven seas in later generations is still just a young man. Lila continued. "I know you won''t believe what I say now." "But it doesn''t matter, time will tell." "I just hope that you can remember what I said today and confirm for yourself whether this prophecy is true or false." "By then, you should understand what you should do?" After saying that, Laila waved her hand to King Xin. "That''s all I have to say, you can continue to hunt down the murderer who killed your [Great Yan Kingdom] people." Seeing that Laila had no intention of continuing the conversation, King Xin did not stay any longer, but left with a very complicated mood. And aside. Xia En, who witnessed the entire conversation between Laila and King Xin, fell into an unspeakable shock. From a long time ago. Xia En had a doubt in his mind, and that was Whose mouth did the earliest prophecy about the world-destroying flood come from? after all [Hui Siming] is an outer **** who transcends the seven seas. Strictly speaking. It is difficult for fortune tellers and prophets in this world to predict His actions. Not to mention. Accurately confirm the coming of a great flood and its source. But what if Wasn''t that a prophecy from the beginning? The so-called prophecy is nothing more than Laila telling King Xin and other mystics of this era about what happened in the future. Her purpose is simple - I just want to use the most amazing geniuses of every era, gather their strength, and find a way to prevent the world-destroying flood from coming. This way. Only then will the prophecies about the great flood spread throughout the world. This is the truth behind the so-called prophecy of world destruction! On the other hand. Laila''s understanding of the great flood in later generations came from the people she said came from the future. That is Xia En. From a certain perspective. Is Xia En the initiator of the prophecy of destruction? Just the thought of that. A very strange and wonderful feeling arose in Xia En''s heart. History seems to have formed a closed loop at this moment. The boundaries between past and future, cause and effect, seem to have become blurred. Perhaps he has truly changed the past without knowing it? And just as Xia En was feeling emotional. But Laila looked up at the gray-white sky and took off the veil on her face, revealing her beautiful face. But at this time, there was a touch of sadness and sadness on her face. Laila whispered to herself. "Xia En, I miss you so much..." The conversation with King Xin just now reminded her of missing Xia En. Only then. Only then did Laila take off the indifferent, cold and hard shell. Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! Just like the girl she once was, she showed some weakness again. Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but twitch. if you can. Of course he wanted to tell Laila out loud that he was here and give her a warm hug But now, Xia En can only be in this closed perspective, watching Laila show such a sad expression. Nothing can be done. At this moment. They seemed so close. In fact, it is extremely remote. What lies between them is a ruthless and silent time. The power of time seems to be the most insipid and silent. But it flows through everyone equally. You wont stop for a moment because of any person or thing. Not to mention being open-minded to anyone. When it accumulates, it becomes too heavy to be added to. It''s like an insurmountable mountain. Just looking up makes one feel despair. And right now. But Laila glanced at the [Eternal Coffin] next to her in surprise. Don''t know why. She actually vaguely felt some kind and familiar atmosphere from this coffin. It seemed like the person she missed and wanted to see. Are you looking at yourself through this [Eternal Coffin]? And at the same time. Xia En also noticed Laila''s gaze and was suddenly shocked. In this extremely brief moment. They seemed to have crossed the barrier of time and looked at each other through this [Eternal Coffin]. "This is?" Xia En suddenly felt incredible. To know. What he sees now may not be real history. Perhaps, it was just the scene where Great Yan reappeared. in this case. How could Laila see herself through the [Eternal Coffin]? And reacted? Then I thought about it. Shane thought of a possibility. According to Laila, the [Eternal Coffin] has certain characteristics that can transcend time. Because of this, it can serve as a unique [anchor]. Perhaps the reason behind this is [Eternal Coffin] may exist in the past, future and present at the same time! That is to say. Not only is he in the future, he can also see the scenes around the [Eternal Coffin] in the past. Lila, who is in the past, can also see Shane in the future through it? Of course, this is just Xia En''s conjecture and has not yet been verified. But obviously. This kind of stare across time cannot last for a long time. Soon, Laila withdrew her gaze and smiled to herself. "It seems that I miss you so much." "I almost thought you were looking at me in this coffin..." Shane wanted to say something. It''s a pity that under the restrictions of the [Eternal Coffin], no sound can be made. It didn''t take long. Laila quickly calmed down her emotions, put on the black hood again, and patted the body of the [Eternal Coffin]. "Let''s go." "Our journey has just begun." While Laila said these words. The world in Xia En''s eyes was once again indescribably distorted. The time that had been stagnant before seemed to start flowing again. And sent him to the next [coordinates] location. After a change of light and shadow. Shane opened his eyes again. What comes into view is a palace that is both familiar and unfamiliar. The cold architectural lines and the iron-blooded atmosphere like a military camp all illustrate the identity of this building. This place is the royal palace of [Great Yan Kingdom]! But soon, Xia En saw it keenly. Compared with just now, the time point of the palace in front of us has undoubtedly moved a lot further back. Because, according to what the residents of the town just said, [Fanyan City] is clearly still in the process of being built. The palace in front of him was already very complete and grand. It was even more complete than the palace that Xia En had seen on his wedding day before. This shows that the previous sense of flow of time was not an illusion. Xia En probably arrived at the time after King Xin got married. But he didn''t know how many years passed between the two. Soon, after a moment of searching. Shane still saw Laila carrying the coffin. Time seemed to have left no trace on her body. Something to say. Only her black robe became shabby. At this time, Laila was walking in the palace carrying the [Eternal Coffin]. But the strange thing is. The surrounding soldiers [Black Flame Walker] all seemed not to see her, allowing such a strange looking man to walk through the palace. Not long after. Laila came to a palace. In front of the palace door, Laila put down the [Eternal Coffin], as if waiting for something. After a while. King Xin walked out of the palace gate. Seeing the figure standing outside the palace gate, his expression suddenly became extremely complicated and he spoke. "I also said that I sensed a strange legendary aura." "I didn''t expect it was you." At this time, King Xin''s temperament was much calmer and more mature than before. But at the same time, there was a slight sadness on his brows. Looking at his appearance, Xia En suddenly understood that the Xinwang of this era had probably confirmed the authenticity of the prophecy of annihilation. That''s why he showed such an attitude. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but glance at the palace behind him. Calculating the time, maybe An Bing is in this palace at this time? King Xin continued. "It''s been ten years since we last met, right?" "I have confirmed the existence of the world-destroying flood from the legacy of Augustine." "What you said back then was indeed right." There was a hint of regret in his voice. "It''s just that now, we don''t have much time left." (End of chapter) Chapter 389 【Heart of the King】 Chapter 389 [Heart of the King] ten years? Xia En, who was watching, couldn''t help but be a little surprised. Just now, it seemed to him that it was just a blink of an eye. But in fact, did it span an entire decade? However, what made him even more curious was. Ten years later, why did Laila visit King Xin late at night? Just then. King Xin said: "I only started the investigation in this area after the Elf Kingdom completely disappeared." "If I could discover the truth earlier, maybe... I would have more time to prepare, right?" Hearing the word "Elven Country", a hint of sadness flashed in Laila''s eyes. But she didn''t show anything on the surface, she just said. "You don''t need to feel guilty about it." "At that time, anyone who heard such a prediction would not believe it for the first time." Laila said helplessly. "In fact, you are already much better than the kings of many countries on the continent." "At least, you are willing to verify whether that prophecy is true." And to this day, many kings do not want to believe the prophecies from my mouth. "Among them, very few have taken action." "However, some kingdoms that believe in gods seem to have received some kind of instructions from the gods, and thus began to prepare for the disaster of annihilation." "Among them, there is a kingdom named Shuton, which seems to have thought of a path that relies on the Lord of Billions of Lights." "It''s just that I''m not very optimistic about this method of placing hope on gods." With that said, Laila turned her gaze to King Xin and asked. "So, what about you?" "King of [Great Yan Kingdom], in the past ten years, have you ever thought of any way to save the world?" Upon hearing this, King Xin fell into a brief silence. Then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "No." "An alien **** from the [Secret Sea], its existence and power are too mysterious and unknown to us." "I have thought that the most feasible method is to go directly to the [Secret Sea] and kill the alien god, or completely cut off the connection between him and our world." "However, let''s not talk about the terrifying strength possessed by that god." "Even to this day, we can''t be sure where He is in the [Secret Sea]?" "Not to mention taking the initiative to find the connection between Him and our world." Hearing this, Laila''s eyes dimmed slightly. "Even you can''t help it?" "Could it be that...this world-destroying disaster cannot be avoided after all?" In these hundreds of years of travel, all she got was disappointment, so much so that even with Laila''s willpower, she couldn''t help but feel a little discouraged. King Xin hesitated and said. "Actually, just a few days ago, a man who claimed to be the [Omniscient Sage] came to me and claimed that he had a way to prevent the disaster of annihilation." "[Omniscient Sage]?" Lila couldn''t help but frown when she heard the name. "I have never heard of such a number one person in the world." This kind of thing is actually incredible. Lyra traveled across the continent for hundreds of years. She will remember the names of all the lost people with extraordinary abilities or those amazing geniuses. And at the appropriate time, he told them the prophecy of a world-destroying flood. However, in Laila''s memory, there has never been anyone claiming to be an [Omniscient Sage]. It''s almost like... This guy just appeared out of nowhere. But unfortunately, this [Omniscient Sage] also knew information about the world-destroying flood, and even said that he had a way to prevent the great flood. No matter how you look at it, it gives people a very suspicious feeling. However, the world is so big, and unknown strong men may emerge from somewhere. Therefore, Laila asked patiently. "What''s the solution he''s talking about?" "It''s a seal." King Xin replied. "Since we cannot prevent the great flood from coming to this world in advance." "Then we can only seal the flood at the moment it comes, and try to control the affected area to the minimum." "In this way, the crisis will naturally be resolved." "Instead of stopping it at the source, should we consider what will happen after the flood comes?" Laila looked thoughtful and analyzed rationally. "Although it sounds ridiculous, it doesn''t seem to be impossible." "However, the crux of the matter is..." "How to seal the flood?" King Xin explained: "The [Omniscient Sage] claimed." "He masters a unique sealing ritual. As long as he accumulates enough ice power and arranges the ritual in advance, he can do this." Speaking of this, King Xin''s tone couldn''t help but be a little complicated. "And it just so happens that there is a tribe called the "Ice and Snow People" within the territory of our [Great Yan Kingdom]." "Their bodies are filled with blood that is naturally capable of mastering the secret power of ice." "If we let them help, we should be able to successfully build this ritual." People of Ice and Snowthe secret power of ice Hearing this, the first thing Laila thought of was the masked man who attacked her ten years ago and massacred people all over the [Great Yan Kingdom]. At that time, what the other party seemed to have was such a cold power. Seemingly reading Laila''s thoughts, King Xin explained. "Yes, the murderer back then was also one of the [People of Ice and Snow]." "In this family, there are many people who are hostile to me and the [Great Yan Kingdom]." "So, conventional methods probably won''t allow them to assist in this plan..." "etc!" Laila couldn''t help but interrupt. "Have you decided to adopt the plan of the [Omniscient Sage]?" "In my opinion, that guy is too suspicious. Both his identity and origin are unknown." "Besides, don''t you think this is all a bit too coincidental?" Laila analyzed rationally. "How could he be so lucky to find you after you confirmed the authenticity of the world-destroying flood?" "It just so happens that in your country there is a group of people who possess the secret power of ice." There was strong suspicion in Laila''s attitude. She didn''t believe such a coincidence existed in the world. When so many coincidences come together, there is a high probability that there is an ulterior conspiracy. In response, King Xin showed a helpless smile. "Of course I also know that the [Omniscient Sage] is very suspicious." "Maybe it has some unknown purpose, but now I have no other choice." "If nothing is done now, it will be too late." Xia En on the side suddenly understood King Xins mentality. If he doesn''t do anything, things will only get worse. Until the great flood came. Although the [Omniscient Sage] of this era is extremely suspicious, at least it does provide a path with certain feasibility. The salary king would rather make a mistake than do nothing! Laila obviously saw this mentality of King Xin, and could only let out a faint sigh. King Xin continued. "Don''t worry, since I know that the [Omniscient Sage] may not be trustworthy, I will naturally be wary of him in the process of cooperating with him." "I also plan to conduct in-depth research on the secret power of ice." "Perhaps... we can find a way to seal the world-destroying flood without resorting to the secret technique spoken by the [Omniscient Sage]." Obviously, King Xin was not dazzled by the plan spoken by the [Omniscient Sage] at this time, and It''s about giving in and finding other ways to save the world. Think about it. This was probably the reason why King Xin was very wary of the [Omniscient Sage] later and did not let him touch the research results. In a sense, this was exactly what was behind the institute rebellion. "Sorry, I can only leave these matters to you." There was a hint of hope in Laila''s tone. Of course, she couldn''t do such a large-scale study by herself. Only people like King Xin, who can mobilize the people of the entire country and mobilize the power of the whole country, can overcome those technical difficulties. In the past, Laila might have been able to do it with the help of the Elf Kingdom. But now, her hometown has disappeared from this world. Naturally, it is impossible to mobilize the so-called power of the whole country. Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version! As someone who almost ascended the throne of the Elf Queen, Laila could understand King Xin''s situation to a certain extent and expressed some sympathy. "After this, I''m afraid you will be disgusted and even hated by your own people, right?" The word "nationwide power" has always been extremely heavy. Especially when it falls on every citizen, it will form an unbearable pressure. In addition, King Xin cannot directly inform his people of the existence of the prophecy of annihilation. It is not difficult to imagine that there will be many citizens who do not agree with or understand what King Xin is doing. It will even... ignite the fire of rebellion in [Great Yan Kingdom]. By then. Salary King will also bear an unimaginable psychological burden. You can hear this. King Xin slowly shook his head: "I believe in my people, just as they believe in me." "Besides, I have already realized this in my heart." "Even if they nail me to the pillar of shame after discovering my despicable deeds, I will continue to follow my path firmly." "History and those who come after me will rectify my name." Laila was slightly shocked. It wasn''t until this moment that she suddenly understood why King Xin was one of the few kings Xia En had mentioned. Perhaps, in him, he truly has the heart of a king. Even the former Laila did not have such a mentality. After thinking for a moment, Laila said. "Although I can''t personally participate in your research, there are things I can do." With that said, Laila pushed the [Eternal Coffin] beside her forward. "This crystal coffin has the function of storing the secret power of ice, and it also has the power to transcend time." "I have done experiments, and the secret power of ice and cold it can store is almost unlimited." "I will temporarily lend it to you as a research object and a container to store secret power." "There is such a strange thing?" King Xin''s eyes lit up, and he took the [Eternal Coffin] which was taller than him, and a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. Lets not talk about the cold secret power stored in it for now. King Xin also sensed an aura from it that seemed to transcend time and transcend this world. Obviously. This is definitely an extremely rare and precious treasure. But now, this mysterious man in black robe casually gave him to him. This had to touch Wang Xins heart He couldn''t help but ask: "By the way, I still don''t know the name of my senior..." However, when King Xin raised his head, Laila was no longer in front of him. There was only one voice, which seemed to come from a very far away place. "Names don''t matter." "I''ll always be watching you and your research." "I hope... you won''t disappoint me." "We will meet again in the future." The sound drifted farther and farther away, and soon dissipated in the cold night of [the Far North]. "I''ll do my best." King Xin murmured in his heart. He looked into the distance, as if looking into the distant future. Just now. A cold female voice came from the bedroom. "King? What are you doing at the palace gate?" That was exactly An Bing''s voice. A complex tenderness appeared on King Xin''s face, and he responded immediately. "I''ll be right back." He patted the [Eternal Coffin] beside him and said softly. "The mission of saving the world falls on you and me." The moment the words fell. The scene in front of Xia En became chaotic and hazy again. He knew that this was another time jump. Only this time, the light and shadow in his eyes became particularly bright and strange. There was a faint feeling of falling, pulling on his body. The time of confusion of consciousness was longer than the previous two times. Wait until those dancing lights and shadows calm down. What caught Xia En''s eyes was a cold and dead hall. The towering dome, iron-gray walls, and empty square... make this place look more like a mausoleum. And the [Eternal Coffin] is naturally the only coffin in this mausoleum. "here it is" Xia En felt surprised. With just one glance, he recognized that this square was the deepest hall of the underground research institute that he had visited before. Xia En even opened the [Eternal Coffin] there, thus witnessing one piece of history after another. And on the wall and floor of the hall. There are also some cracks and blood stains, like traces left after a battle. If it weren''t for the fact that Xia En''s perspective is still blocked in the [Eternal Coffin]. He almost thought that he was back to the scene when he left before. And at this time. Although the hall was empty, it was not empty. Beside Xia En, there was stationed a [Black Flame Walker] with a mole under his right eye. It is the elder brother of the legendary pair of brothers. But at this time, his left arm disappeared, leaving only an empty sleeve. As for his younger brother, he was nowhere to be seen. Xia En suddenly felt enlightened. This situation was obviously different from the memory scenes he had experienced before. That is to say. This is actually what happened to these legendary brothers in real history. In the face of the attack from the [Truth Society], although they successfully prevented the other party from taking away the [Eternal Coffin], they also left injuries that were difficult to heal. As for the younger brother of the two. It is even more likely that he died directly in this turmoil. At the same time as Xia En was thinking. The door to the hall slowly opened. King Xin walked in from outside the door. (End of chapter) Chapter 390 【Bronze and the Dragon of Time】 Chapter 390 [Bronze and the Dragon of Time] Seeing King Xin at this time, Xia En couldn''t help but be slightly startled. Compared with the salary king I saw twice before. This time, his appearance has changed the most. I saw that King Xin''s appearance had visibly aged a lot, and he was no longer as energetic as he was when he was young. Instead. It is the lingering fatigue and vicissitudes of life between the eyebrows. A little stubble on the chin and a few streaks of blood in the eye sockets all indicate... During this period of time, the salary king was probably extremely busy and had not been able to take a good rest. Coupled with the accumulated affairs and pressure, he developed a bit of an old attitude. This is actually somewhat similar to Augustine''s original state. After being defeated by [Ultimate Commander] and destroying the huge fleet, Augustine fell into despair and turned into a gray-haired old man. For mystics, the aging of the mind often affects the physical body. Although the current salary king is not desperate. But it is inevitable that there will be some overwork. From the [Black Flame Walker] on the side. It was not difficult for Xia En to know that the historical period in front of him was obviously after the attack on the underground research institute. Just cleaning up the mess in the institute and dealing with the aftermath will take a lot of time. at the same time. After such an attack, King Xin''s plan to advance smoothly is likely to be temporarily stalled. Research progress has been greatly slowed down. Not to mention. It was probably around this time. An Bing discovered the existence of the underground research institute and questioned King Xin. Internal and external troubles, national events, love between children... One by one, they all pressed down on King Xin like a mountain. If it were someone with weak willpower, I''m afraid that their mentality would have broken down a long time ago, and they would even want to escape directly. However, King Xin only showed some signs of fatigue and still had the will to continue pushing forward with the plan, which was already considered remarkable. "king." Seeing King Xin approaching, the Black Flame Legend stationed here gave him a solemn salute. "Bell, thank you for your hard work." King Xin nodded in response. "It''s obvious that your injury hasn''t healed yet, so I''m asking you to come back here and carry out protection work." "It''s not hard." Bell shook his head: "The one under the greatest pressure right now is obviously the king." "It is an honor for me to be able to share the king''s worries, even just a little bit." As he spoke, Bell''s eyes showed some concern. "Wang, you haven''t slept for several days, right?" "Please take care of your health." King Xin was slightly startled and said with a wry smile. "Can even you see it?" He rubbed his cheeks, cheered up, and forcibly regained his tiredness. A little bit restored to his usual posture. King Xin knew very well that at times like this, he could not show weakness and exhaustion. Because...he is the salary king. He is the king of this country. It is the backbone of people''s hearts. If even he himself is wavering, how can he get his people to follow him firmly? Xia En, who was watching this scene, couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. He naturally saw what King Xin was thinking. However, he also knows that when a string is tightened for too long, it will completely break! And this time. King Xin, who had adjusted his condition, looked at the [Black Flame Walker] named Bell. "Oh, by the way, your brother is out of danger." "She should wake up soon." Hearing this, Bell''s face showed a slight joy. But soon, he said a little apologetically. "Sorry, King, our strength is still too weak." "Although we didn''t let those enemies take away the [Eternal Coffin], we still let them take away some of the research results." "If we brothers could be stronger, we wouldn''t have to worry you so much." King Xin shook his head: "How can I blame you?" "If I have to blame, I can only blame the enemy for being too cunning, and those [people of ice and snow]..." The term "people of ice and snow" was mentioned. A flash of regret flashed in King Xin''s eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by him. he continued. "No matter what, you protected the two most important things in the institute." "As long as they''re here, the institute can make a comeback." "You...are the heroes of this battle!" While saying this. King Xin pressed lightly somewhere on the wall of the hall. Subsequently. The floor, which seemed to be cast from some kind of metal, suddenly changed. Its color keeps getting lighter and lighter until it becomes transparent. And in the [Eternal Coffin]. Xia En looked down through the transparent floor and saw an extremely shocking scene I saw that underneath this icy hall was a solid and thick ice crystal. And in the blue ice crystals. There was a huge figure! It wears a dark red crown on its head. The whole body looks like crystal, bronze, or magma. Bronze scales cover its body. The texture of the scales is like some ancient mysterious rune, revealing the weight of time. Its whole figure looks slender and graceful. Like a princess or queen in the palace. Such beauty transcends both gender and species! It''s like... it''s the pinnacle of biological evolution, with indescribable nobility. Behind this figure is a pair of folded wings. Even if they are folded together, these wings are still astonishingly large. It is not difficult to imagine what a sight it will be like when it is fully opened. There is no doubt about it. That''s an ancient dragon! It is a dragon of bronze and time! It was the true overlord of the world in an earlier era, and it was also an existence that had long since disappeared from the Seven Seas. Although, its appearance is very different from the Xian Ge that Xia En knows. The body length and width are several times that of Xian Ge. But for no reason. Xia En could recognize it at a glance. It was what Xian Ge would look like when he became an adult in the future. At this moment. The bronze dragon''s eyes were closed and its body remained motionless, like a cold corpse. Can be biased. There is some strange activity left in its body, making it look lifelike, as if it will wake up at any time. And the majesty belonging to the ancient dragon also spreads through the ice crystals below. To the average person. This dragon''s power may make them feel instinctively uncomfortable. But for Xia En, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of intimacy in his heart. Such a reunion across time and history is truly wonderful. And at this time. The scene he saw in front of him also proved Xia En''s previous guess. "Sure enough, before Xian Ge turned into [Ancient Dragon''s Egg], he was located in this underground research institute..." However, Xia En didn''t expect it. Xian Ge was actually hidden underneath this hall. No wonder the members of the [Truth Society] failed to find the location of the bronze dragon before. But when he thought about it carefully, Xia En suddenly understood. It''s not so much that the bronze dragon is hidden under the hall. Rather, this hall was originally built on the body of a bronze dragon. This design was made to facilitate research and observation of it. In fact, the [Eternal Coffin] was placed closest to the bronze dragon for this reason. Just when Xia En was secretly shocked. The door to the cold hall opened again. A tall general, covered in the smell of blood, who looked like he had just stepped off the battlefield, walked in from the door. And Xia En was no stranger to this tall man. "General Hanno, you are here." King Xin nodded to the man. Hannuo strode up to King Xin and cupped his hands. Please...you...collect_6_9__Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar) "King, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny." "I have captured all the traitors who participated in the rebellion before." "Some resisted too fiercely, so I had to kill them on the spot." King Xin couldn''t help but have a strange expression on his face and said. "Let me guess, you probably killed many more people than you caught, right?" "hey-hey." Hanno grinned, showing his pale teeth. "King, you really understand me." King Xin sighed helplessly. "Hanno, Hanno, you are good at everything, but you have this murderous personality that you really need to change." Hanno waved his hand disapprovingly. "How many people have been killed so far?" "Besides, I kill all those who deserve to be killed. Letting those traitors live is disrespectful to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives." Bell on the side reminded. "General Hanno, although it is not appropriate for me to say this." "But I heard that if you kill too much, you may be punished by the gods in the future, and you may even have to die a good death." "You still have to exercise some restraint." Hanno laughed. "If the gods really hate me for this, then let them do it." "Isn''t it a good death? So what?" "Even if I become an undead in the depths of hell, I will still kill those who deserve to die." This General Hannuo was naturally the legendary general Xia En met in [Fan Yan City]. However, he was still alive and well at this time. Moreover, his personality during his lifetime was a little beyond Xia En''s expectations, and he seemed a bit naive. It''s the lingering murderous aura in his body. He is no different from the one who turned into an undead. However, combined with what Hannuo said at this time, Xia En had an inexplicable feeling that his words had come true. At this time, King Xin continued. "Hannuo, although you killed all the people who deserved to be killed this time, you should try to be more careful next time." "People who kill too many people are indeed easily contaminated by some kind of karma." Hearing King Xin''s words, Hannuo could only respond angrily. "knew." "One more thing, Wang, Director Wan was unfortunately killed during the rebellion." "Who should replace him next?" "The remaining [people of ice and snow] don''t seem so trustworthy..." Suddenly, Hanno had a sudden idea and thought of something. "By the way, why don''t we just let the princess be the supervisor?" "If it were her, she would be able to perfectly replace Miss Wan''s position, right?" As soon as these words came out, King Xin did not speak. Bell next to him suddenly changed his expression. "Hanno, what did you say?!" "Her Royal Highness, you don''t know anything about the situation in the institute, and you don''t even know anything about the king''s plan." "Once the news of the king''s arrest of the [Ice and Snow People] reaches her ears, what do you think Her Royal Highness will think?" "Besides, the possibility of Her Royal Highness participating in this rebellion cannot be ruled out now." Hanno had a different view on this. "I think the princess is completely trustworthy." "Moreover, even Miss Wan can sacrifice for the king. There is no reason why Her Royal Highness can''t do it." "Explain everything to her directly and honestly, and she will definitely understand Wang." Bell frowned: "But..." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel. King Xin, who had remained silent before, finally spoke. "That''s enough, you don''t need to say any more." "I have made up my mind on this matter." Although King Xin has always been very approachable and easy-going. But when he became truly serious, he still showed the majesty of a king. As a result, the two people who had been quarreling immediately settled down and talked honestly. "Okay, King, we understand." King Xin continued; "You go out first." "I want to be alone." Hannuo and Bell looked at each other and both knew they couldn''t disturb King Xin at this time, so they silently lowered their heads and left the hall. After the two people left, the already deserted hall returned to deathly silence again. Only King Xin stood alone in front of the [Eternal Coffin]. To be precise, there is also Xia En in [Eternal Coffin]. From this perspective, he could see more clearly After the two left, King Xin finally relaxed a little. The loneliness, helplessness and exhaustion that had been hidden before resurfaced again. He looked at the [Eternal Coffin] in front of him, sighed deeply, and whispered to himself. "What on earth am I supposed to do?" Looking at King Xin at this time, Xia En was filled with emotions. Until then. Only then did he fully understand that no matter how calm and confident King Xin appeared. Regardless of the true body of King Xin, it is actually the [Old Xinhuo] from the [Secret Sea]. It comes down to it. From the day King Xin transformed into a baby and was born into the lava of that volcano. He has become a real human being. And since we are human beings, we will naturally have emotions and so-called weaknesses. at the moment. King Xin''s princess, An Bing, is undoubtedly the embodiment of this weakness. So much so that it was difficult for him to deal with this matter with absolute rationality. King Xin is not a machine, let alone a god. It''s impossible to be right forever. After thinking about this, Xia En inexplicably understood some of King Xin''s actions. And at this time. King Xin took out something from his arms. The moment he saw this thing clearly, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. Because that thing turned out to be a silver pocket watch! A moment of time! Yes, Xia En suddenly recalled. An Bing said that after her mother died, [Instant Time] fell into the hands of King Xin for some reason. It just so happens to match the current time. King Xin murmured to himself: "If you give it to An Bing, maybe..." But in the next moment. The [Eternal Coffin] beside him suddenly emitted a wave of mysterious power. It seemed like a teleportation circle was activated. Then, Laila, wearing a black robe, came to the side of the [Eternal Coffin] again. "King Xin, we meet again." (End of chapter) Chapter 391 [Closed loop of time and space] Chapter 391 [Closed Loop of Time and Space] at this time. Shane was not particularly surprised by Laila''s appearance. Until then. He had already vaguely guessed that the time nodes that this [Eternal Coffin] brought him to witness were all the scenes when Laila and King Xin met. This may be because their meetings and conversations determine the future of this world to a certain extent. Or maybe it''s because both of them have left their own imprints on this [Eternal Coffin]. But for Salary King. Laila''s appearance was undoubtedly an unexpected thing. "Senior, is it you?" Looking at King Xin who looked exhausted in front of her, Laila couldn''t help but let out a faint sigh. "Sure enough, even you are in trouble?" King Xin fell into a brief silence. In fact, compared to the things about An Bing and Xiaowan. What really made him feel tremendous pressure was the consequences of the attack on the research institute by the men of the [Omniscient Sage]. first. Just as Bell said, although they saved the [Eternal Coffin] in this battle. However, a considerable part of the research results were still taken away by the enemy. A lot of data and information have suffered devastating blows. Not to mention. In this incident, a large number of researchers and experimental materials were also lost. Some of them are traitors who obey the orders of the [Omniscient Sage]. The other part is the people who unfortunately died in the attack. Back and forth. The number of backbone researchers in the entire institute has dropped to a very embarrassing number. True. Just like King Xin said. As long as the [Eternal Coffin] and the Bronze Dragon were not taken away. It is only a matter of time before the entire institute makes a comeback and continues to carry out research. But the problem is. What they lack most now is time! According to the original research plan. The time for arranging the rituals was barely in time before the great flood came. The time itself is already extremely tight. And now, the underground research institute has suffered such a heavy blow. The progress of many research works has not only failed to advance on time, but has also regressed a lot. Coupled with the serious shortage of manpower, it is almost unrealistic to complete the research within the original deadline. This is the fundamental reason why King Xin is in such a heavy mood. As for Xiao Wan and An Bing''s matter, although it also had a considerable impact on him. But after all, it is just a personal emotional private matter. "Sorry, senior." King Xin said. Facing Laila at this time, he couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. After all, this unidentified legendary strongman not only informed him of the prophecy of the great flood in advance, but also temporarily lent him the most precious [Eternal Coffin]. Can it bear fruit? But because of his own negligence, there were major omissions in the entire plan, and he might even miss the only opportunity to save the world. Moreover, if he could have confirmed the reality of the Flood earlier, the situation might have been very different. How can King Xin not feel guilty for this? "I''ve heard about you." Laila didn''t blame King Xin, but just said. "That [Omniscient Sage] really has ulterior motives." "And I suspect that taking away the research results in your institute is not his real purpose." "His true intentions may be even more absurd and evil than you and I thought." Laila first glanced at the bronze dragon under the floor of the hall, and then asked. "How far have you progressed in your research on space-time technology?" King Xin didnt hide anything and said frankly. "Right now, our technology can only temporarily stagnate an area for a period of time." "And the scope and time that it can be stagnant are extremely limited." Hearing this, Laila couldn''t help but have a flash of disappointment in her eyes. She can simply stop time by relying on her own laws of time and space. The effect might even be better than the technology developed by Xin Wang and others. certainly. Laila also knew that this did not mean that King Xins research results were ordinary. Quite the opposite. We can rely on technology to achieve things like dead time. In fact, it can be called a technological breakthrough across the ages. To ordinary people, this is simply an incredible thing. only. For Laila, who is a legendary mystic in her own right and has mastered the laws of time to a certain extent. Only to this extent is not enough. Simply put. The technology developed by Xinwang is not bad, but...not good enough! Relying on such technology alone is far from enough to prevent the coming annihilating flood and save the world. at this time. After understanding this situation, Laila''s eyes flickered, as if she had finally made up her mind, and whispered to herself. "That''s what happened now." "It seems that we can only adopt that plan." Upon hearing this, King Xin''s expression changed slightly. "Senior, are you saying that you want to complete that deal?" "That''s from the [Secret Sea]..." Just then. A strange, indistinguishable noise broke into Sean''s ears. He couldn''t hear the name mentioned in King Xin''s mouth clearly. "This is?" Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. This kind of noise is by no means the real sound that appeared in this period of history. It''s more like some kind of shielding sound. This made him, a bystander who witnessed this history with the help of the [Eternal Coffin], unable to truly know the existence that King Xin was talking about. After the noise. King Xin continued. "... Dealing with that kind of existence will definitely not end well." Laila sighed softly: "Of course I know about this kind of thing." "But it''s like you know that the [Omniscient Sage] is suspicious, so you can only cooperate with him." "Right now, only by trading with Him can we find a glimmer of hope for salvation." "After all, only the power of... can resist..." As Laila spoke, the strange noise sounded again. Xia En felt an indescribable sense of disobedience. trade? Deal with what? And why does it sound like King Xins tone that he also knows part of the deal? However, arent these the only three times that King Xin and Laila met? How did he know about the deal Laila mentioned. "No...no!" Suddenly, Shane woke up. King Xin may have met Laila more than three times. This time, when entering this time point, Xia En clearly felt that the pause in the middle was unusually long. It''s like... Did he skip a section of content for no reason? Perhaps, the truth is hidden in this skipped time. As for why this phenomenon occurs. There is a high probability that it is for the same reason as that weird noise. That is the existence mentioned by Laila and King Xin. There is a possibility. That existence possesses some extremely high status, so that even the [Eternal Coffin] cannot record information related to it. There is also a possibility that someone deliberately eliminated some information related to "him" in the "Eternal Coffin". This undoubtedly made Xia En more and more curious. Lyra said that she would make a deal with that being to fight against the coming flood of destruction. Doesn''t this mean... That existence has the power to fight against [Huisi Ming]? But obviously. Its not difficult to hear it from Lailas words. There will undoubtedly be a heavy price to pay for trading with such a being and seeking his help. Please...you...collect_6_9__Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar) But, its still the same sentence. Faced with this great flood sweeping the world, they didn''t have much choice. They cannot let go of any method that might save the world. While Shane was thinking. Laila suddenly noticed the silver pocket watch in King Xin''s hand. "Wait, that''s it?" King Xin was a little strange, but he still explained. "This is the certificate of the leader of the [Ice and Snow People]." "The freezing law that condenses a certain amount of ice-cold secret power can freeze time and space in a short period of time." "Part of our research also refers to the design of the secret technique in this pocket watch." Hearing this, Laila''s face was suddenly enlightened, as if she suddenly figured out something. "That''s it...that''s it..." "It turns out...this is the last missing piece of the puzzle." Then, Laila looked at King Xin and said directly. "King Xin, give me this pocket watch." "With it, I can find the path to saving the world." "What''s the meaning?" King Xin was stunned for a moment, obviously failing to understand Laila''s intention. In his opinion. Although this pocket watch has some extraordinary properties, it is only "somewhat" extraordinary. Don''t talk about saving the world. It was much worse than the [Eternal Coffin] beside them. But at this time, why does Laila attach so much importance to this silver pocket watch? After hesitating for a moment, King Xin said. "Is this pocket watch really so special?" "Can I find other relics in [People of Ice and Snow] and replace them?" Seeing the strange look in Laila''s eyes, King Xin explained. "That''s actually true." "This pocket watch is a relic of my wife''s mother. It has special meaning to her." "Besides, I also promised in the letter that I would return this pocket watch to her, so..." Laila shook her head seriously. "Nothing can replace this pocket watch." "It just has such importance." "If you don''t want to give it to me, then I will have no choice but to rob it." After hearing this, King Xin immediately gave up, and sighed as he was lucky at the last moment. "I see." In fact, Xinwang naturally understands the priorities of things. Compared to something as big as saving the world, personal emotions are nothing more than trivial matters. Just because he had made a promise to An Bing. So I tentatively asked if there is anything that can be replaced? After receiving a definite negative answer, King Xin did not hesitate and handed [The Moment of Time] directly to Laila. Seeing this scene, Xia En was shocked. By this time, many doubts in his mind suddenly became clear. It was mentioned in An Bing''s mouth. King Xin originally promised to return [The Moment of Time] to him, but he failed to do so in the end. Moreover, he also claimed that [Instant Time] was taken away by an unknown strong man. From An Bing''s perspective, that was naturally a blatant lie. After all, in the Great Yan Kingdom, who is the one with the secret path who can take away [the moment of time] from King Xin? But right now, Laila clearly has such qualifications and abilities. This way. Xia En finally fully understood where [Instant Time] belongs in history. The [Flash of Time] back then was first controlled by the great elder of the [People of Ice and Snow]. Later, after the great elder was injured, it was passed to the next clan leader. That is An Bing''s mother. Then, the clan leader died, and [Instant Time] was held by King Xin again. Until this time point in front of me. Laila took [The Moment of Time] from King Xin and called it "the last missing piece of the puzzle." Xia En couldn''t help but make a bold guess - Perhaps, the function of traveling through time and space that was later possessed by [Instant Time] was Laila''s work! There are two reasons for reaching this conclusion. First, Laila herself is a legendary powerhouse who has mastered the laws of time and space. Secondly, from the conversation between Laila and King Xin, we learned that she seemed to have made a deal with another being of extremely high status. Only she can transform a relic that could only temporarily freeze time into a prop with the power to travel through time and space. And if that is the case. At this moment in history, history has once again formed an extremely wonderful closed loop. The reason why Xia En was able to go back to the past was precisely because he obtained the [Instant Time] that contains the power of time and space. Also with the help of this relic. He had only met Laila a few times in the past. From a certain perspective. The reason why Laila came up with the idea of ??saving the world was because of this silver pocket watch. But now. This silver pocket watch was transformed by Laila and gained special powers. Finally, by chance, she fell into the hands of Xia En... "etc" Suddenly, Shane came to his senses and realized a possibility. Is it really just a coincidence that he obtained [Instant Time]? It''s not hard to see. Lila actually had contact with the Kingdom of Shoton, which later became the [Coral City]. He even knew about the "coralization" path chosen by the Kingdom of Southorn. What if Laila had predicted Will Xia En explore the palace of [Coral City] in the future, and then deliberately leave [Moment of Time] in the Shoton Kingdom? This conjecture, at first glance, seems like a fantasy. But after Xia Endu witnessed the so-called thread of fate with his own eyes, he instinctively felt - This kind of thing is not impossible. Now Xia En can only see the thread of fate at the same time. And what if, coupled with Laila''s laws of time and space. Maybe we can really see things that happen in the more distant future, where the threads of fate intersect with each other. It is equivalent to truly predicting the future! If this is all true. Which came first, the existence of [Flash of Time], or the fact that Xia En went back to the past? This kind of closed loop in time and space really shocked Xia En. And the moment Laila took over [The Moment of Time]. The world in front of Xia En suddenly changed. Everything around him seemed to be covered by a layer of water waves, becoming hazy and unreal. There was also a familiar voice ringing in my ears. "Captain Shane, Captain Shane? What''s wrong with you?" (End of chapter) Chapter 392 【Awakening Great Flame】 Chapter 392 [The Awakening Great Flame] Looking at the gradually fragmented world in front of him, and hearing such a voice, Xia En suddenly understood Dream, its time to wake up. No matter how realistic the scene in front of you is, it is not real reality after all. Moreover, in reality, there are more important things waiting for him to do. Thinking of this, Xia En finally forgot about Laila and King Xin, and remembered their appearance at this time in his heart. Just then. Several lines of information flashed before Xia En''s eyes. [You witnessed the three meetings between Laila and King Xin with your own eyes! [I touched upon the truth of history again! [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" +10%! ["The Secret of Traveling Through Time and Space" solution density +30%! [Comprehensive quality: 34 37! Looking at the words flashing before his eyes, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little complicated. on the one hand. The density of these two secret solutions has been greatly improved. Even at this time, "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" is only 8% progress away from being completely solved. This proves that his previous conjecture is most likely correct. At the same time, his previous exploration was not in vain. This is certainly gratifying. But on the other hand. Faced with the last step to unlock the secret, Xia En felt a little unspeakable for no reason. It''s like following a novel to its finale. Not only are you looking forward to its final ending, but you also feel that if you dont read the ending, the story in the book might continue forever. There is a special feeling of worrying about gains and losses. Moreover, Xia En also vaguely noticed I''m afraid the final truth will never be so beautiful, but will be extremely cruel. Of course, uneasiness is uneasiness. We have already come this far, and Xia En will not give up pursuing the final truth. No matter...what the truth will be. After making up his mind, Shane opened his eyes. The first person to catch the eye was Carles, who had exited the combined state. Even through the metal mask, Xia En seemed to be able to see the worry on her face. It made Xia En feel warm in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "I''m fine." Then, Xia En turned his head and looked aside. He couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found An Bing and Jian not far away. Xia En was also worried that after leaving the memory scene through the [Eternal Coffin], they would be separated again. Just quickly. Xia En noticed that there was no [Eternal Coffin] around them at this time. I think it''s because it has completed its mission and led Xia En to witness the past history. at the same time. Xia En also discovered that the scene they were in now was different from before. Flat, slightly scratched floor. Not far away was an advanced but rusty naval gun. And, there is a faint smell of sea in the air. With Xia En''s experience as a captain for so long, he could naturally tell at a glance - Here is the deck of a ship! Xia En reacted quickly and thought to himself. "Is this the deck of the [King]?" He now knows that [Great Flame] is mainly divided into two parts. One is the original scene on the [King]. The other part is those scenes shaped by the national memory of Dayan. Just for now. How could they reappear on the "King"? Shane immediately asked Carles. "How long has it been since we left that hall?" "Did anything else happen during this period?" Carles was a little strange, but still said. "It''s only been less than a minute." "When we opened our eyes, we were on this deck." "Seeing you frozen in place, I stepped forward to wake you up. Not even a minute? Shane marveled secretly. Just now from his perspective. Even if we don''t talk about the time passed in the middle, a very long time has passed. The results for Carles et al. But it was just a blink of an eye. Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of the [Eternal Coffin] in the laws of time and space. And this time. Jane on the side said with a solemn expression. "Captain Xia En, [Da Yan] seems to be in a bad state at this time..." "What''s the meaning?" Shane asked. Jane''s perception and analysis abilities are the strongest among the legends. Even if he faces many legendary strong men, he will not give in too much. At this time, her judgment was by no means unreasonable. Jane explained: "I can feel that [Da Yan] seems to be becoming restless and active." "This shows from the side that its structure is becoming increasingly unstable." "Unstable..." At this point, Jane herself reacted. explain "That''s right, because we destroyed two key nodes of [Great Flame] one after another." "It caused it to lose its original balance, and this is why such a change occurred." Shane suddenly realized. [Great Flame] itself is an existence possessing the [King]. At this time, the structure of [Great Flame] began to become unstable, and naturally the possessed state was released to a certain extent. Make them appear on the deck of the [King]. Just then. "Didi!" The communicator that had been silent before finally responded again. Xia En quickly connected the communication. "Hey hey hey?" "Can anyone hear me?" Immediately afterwards, an elderly man''s voice sounded from the communicator. Shane vaguely remembered. This is one of the members of the infiltration plan operation. His name is Torres. He is a veteran Mystic who is quite famous in the Seven Seas. With his reputation and deeds, even if he didn''t participate in this operation, no one would raise any objections. But in the end, Torres came. In his own words. It is a good destination for an old man like him to shine in the last moments of his life and contribute his own strength to save the world. At this time, Torres''s voice was hoarse and weak, and he repeated it again. "...Can anyone hear me?" Shane responded quickly. "Senior Torres, I''m here." Hearing his voice, Torres'' tone cheered up slightly. "I remember, you are Captain Shane of the [Black Swan], right?" "How is the situation over there?" Xia En said truthfully: "The operation went smoothly." "Although we have experienced some dangers, we have destroyed two nodes of [Great Flame]." "Senior, what about you?" "Huh? Two nodes?" Hearing this, Torres couldn''t help but be a little surprised and said with emotion. "Sure enough, the future life is to be feared." "My two other companions and I spent a lot of effort, and finally paid the price with our lives, to destroy just one node." "The price of life..." Upon hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly sank. Although before setting out on the expedition, he had predicted that this operation would be extremely dangerous. Among the action members, many people will sacrifice for this. But when he actually heard this from Torres, Shane still felt a little heavy. And it''s fast. Shane noticed that there was an unconcealable weakness in Torres'' tone, and he immediately woke up. "Senior...you?!" Torres said frankly. "That''s right." "In the previous memory scene, we were attacked by two legends, not just my two companions." "I am now seriously injured and I probably won''t be able to leave [Great Flame] alive." Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. Counting Torres, three of the ten members of the previous operation had died. The life and death of three people, including Benny, are unknown and they have not been able to be contacted to this day. Please...you...collect_6_9__Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar) Such a casualty rate really makes people feel uncomfortable. Faced with impending death, Torres behaved calmly. "Captain Shane, there is no need to feel sad about our sacrifice." "Before setting off, we had already realized this in our hearts." Suddenly, Torres chuckled. "Honestly, I thought I wouldn''t be able to contact the other members of this operation." "I didn''t expect that at the end I could hear the good news you brought, Captain Shane." "If it were you..." "Perhaps we can inherit our last wish and completely eliminate the undead [Great Flame]." Speaking of this, Torres'' old voice was filled with solemnity and solemnity. "Captain Shane, please." "For us and for the world." "Stop this disaster!" Shane responded seriously: "I will do my best." "Ahem..." Torres coughed twice, the weakness in his words becoming more and more obvious. "By the way, there''s one more thing." "After everything calms down, please leave a last word for my wife and children." "I really, always love you all..." Xia En said sincerely: "I will." "Didi!" Just after he said these words, the communication between the two parties came to an abrupt end. The four people on the deck fell into a brief silence. No matter what, the sacrifices of fellow travelers are always heartbreaking Xia En was the first to adjust and said. "Let''s go. In order to prevent their sacrifices from being in vain, we must destroy the remaining nodes as soon as possible." "Yes! Captain Shane!" However, just when a group of four people were preparing to continue exploring this deck. Boom! There was a sudden roar above everyone''s heads. Shane looked up. I saw a gap in the gray and hazy sky. The scene was as if a powerful cannonball had penetrated the surface barrier and been forcibly carved out. Although in the next moment. This gap is healing rapidly. But its appearance itself illustrates the changes in the situation. Carles'' eyes lit up red and he said hoarsely. "What''s going on?" "Is there something attacking [Great Flame]?" "Is it possible that the federal government has launched a general attack on [Great Yan]?" General Moritz told them. In addition to their infiltration operations, the federal military has naturally prepared other strategies to deal with [The Great Flame]. One of them is the storming operation. As the name suggests, it is to directly launch a strong attack on [Great Yan]. But the problem is. [Great Yan]''s strength is truly unfathomable. The cost and sacrifice of launching a strong attack on him were unusually high. So, according to Moritz. Moritz would only know that after their infiltration operation completely failed For example, a strong attack will only be launched after all members of the operation are completely killed. But now. Although there were considerable sacrifices, Xia En and others also eliminated three nodes together. The entire operation was still considered smooth. How could the federal military suddenly launch a strong attack on [Great Flame]? Xia En suddenly realized something was wrong. And what made his heart sink even more. After this bombardment came from nowhere. Throughout [Great Flame], the restless atmosphere became more and more obvious. The secret power in the air began to stir. Even the surrounding scenery began to undergo indescribable changes. Gradually it becomes distorted and chaotic. "not good!" Jian''s expression changed slightly and he spoke. "[Great Yan] has become restless because of our destruction of nodes." "Now he''s being attacked again. I''m afraid...he will wake up right now!" Hearing this, Xia En''s expression quickly became extremely solemn. In fact. They were able to sneak into [Great Flame] and even successfully destroy several of its nodes. A big reason is... Great Yanis currently in a deep sleep state. In this state, He will only make some instinctive reactions, such as prohibiting the entry of Mysteries above Legend level. Nor will they attack the secret travelers from the outside world. But when He woke up. This situation will undoubtedly be reversed. The entire [Great Yan] interior may show greater malice towards outsiders like them. That is to say. Their next move will be even more dangerous. And the worst part is. After being awakened, [Great Flame] is very likely to attack the nearby federal navy, causing extremely heavy casualties. Xia En frowned and thought to himself. "Who initiated this impulsive attack?" at the same time. Far North Expeditionary Force Headquarters. Inside the meeting hall. Snap! Moritz, who had always kept his emotions secret, suddenly burst into anger. He slammed the table hard and asked his subordinates. "Who is it?!" "Who activated our hidden [God-Destroying Cannon] and launched an attack on [Great Flame]?" The officer in question was the general responsible for the management of the [Destroyer Cannon]. At this time, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He hadn''t seen General Morris look like this in years. But at this time, the officer could only say difficultly. "Someone used methods such as mental manipulation to control our soldiers." "This is how we temporarily seized control of the [God-Destroying Cannon]." Moritz frowned. "So, what about permissions?" "What about the permission to fire the [God-Destroying Cannon]?" The officer said tremblingly: "Actually, we found traces of external intrusion in the program of the [Annihilator Cannon]..." "I''m afraid that the other party used this method to crack the use rights." Upon hearing this, Moritz''s frown deepened. Intrusion program Manipulate the spirit This is clearly the specialty of the [Truth Society]! In other words, the person who controlled the [God-Destroying Cannon] and fired this cannon was clearly the handiwork of the [Truth Society]. But the question is, why do they do this? If the world of Qihai is destroyed, what good will it do to them? (End of chapter) Chapter 393 【The Wave is Coming】【Chorus Doll】 Chapter 393 [The Wave is Coming] [Xianlu Doll] Moritz originally thought. After all, the [Truth Society] is also a part of this world and will stand on the same front as them. Maybe it can provide some strength for this battle. Therefore, we just turn a blind eye to some of their behaviors. But now, the behavior of the [Truth Society] has undoubtedly completely offended Moritz. Moritz had never had such strong anger against any sect or force. The members of Operation Ming Ming are still fighting alone in the [Great Flame]. Such a shot can be said to have completely destroyed their retreat. What''s the difference between this and a **** backstab? "Okay...good for you [Truth Society]!" Moritz was filled with hatred and regarded the [Truth Society] as one of the targets that must be eradicated. But that''s about it. Outside the meeting hall, an officer suddenly opened the door and entered in a hurry. His face was full of anxiety and panic. "General Moritz, this is bad!" Moritz frowned and asked, "What''s going on?" The officer replied: "For some reason, all the filthy creatures on the ice sheet suddenly became restless and charged towards our station." Moritz narrowed his eyes. "A wave of filthy creatures?" "At this time?" Previously, there were speculations within the [Far North Expeditionary Force] Those filthy creatures awakening from under the ice in the Far North will turn into a menacing wave and attack them. However, no one expected it. The wave of filthy and chaotic creatures would sweep over at this time. It''s almost like... It''s like it was planned in advance. Obviously, facing such a wave, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is bound to suffer extremely heavy casualties. Not to mention, at the same time, there was also [Da Yan] who was gradually waking up. Under the pressure of both. It can be said. The situation that was finally stabilized and was improving will collapse in an instant. Putting the [Far North Expeditionary Force] into a situation where it could be destroyed at any time. "I''m afraid...their recovery is definitely not a coincidence." Moritz looked solemn and whispered to himself. but. Even in the face of such a bad situation. There was no panic or despair on Moritz''s face from beginning to end. He turned his head and looked seriously at the many officers in the meeting hall, his eyes sweeping across each of their faces. There was some indescribable power in that silent gaze. Let the officers present gradually calm down. Wait until everyone''s expressions calm down. Moritz spoke slowly. "Everyone!" "Right now, we will face the most severe challenge since the establishment of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "This battle will even determine the future of the Federation and even the world." "But didn''t we already have this awareness before we set off for the expedition?" He said solemnly. "I repeat, this battle is not for glory or profit, nor is it for the Federation." "But for...our own future!" "This is our struggle to survive!" Moritz waved his hand: "That''s all I have to say." "Now, give the order to the entire army... prepare to meet the enemy!" The soldiers responded in unison. "Yes! General Moritz!" at the same time. On a glacier in [the Far North]. Countless filthy creatures of all kinds are gathering together from all directions. Among them, there are the immortal ice crystal monsters and snow monsters covered with long white hair that Xia En came into contact with at the beginning. There are also other new varieties with weird and ugly shapes. For example, the snake man is covered in scales. Another example is a soft monster with a twisted body shape, as if it has no bones. There are also huge, walking icebergs. The ice layer on the surface is their skin, and in the depths, there are vaguely visible things like bones and flesh. Such filthy and chaotic creatures may not be particularly powerful if you take out one or two of them alone. But when they gather together and possess strange properties such as [immortality] and [contagion], they become more powerful. The destructive power it can cause only makes people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts. It can be said. This is simply an army composed of filthy and chaotic creatures, marching forward in a mighty manner. And on the ice sheet. All the scattered members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] suddenly changed their expressions after seeing such a wave, and fled away from them as quickly as possible. This is the right decision. because Such an enemy is no longer something that a few Secret Pathers can fight against alone. Even a legendary strongman will eventually be swallowed alive by this wave if he is surrounded by a wave of monsters and cannot escape in time. Only the federal army, which has an equally staggering number and possesses advanced weapons, can compete with it head-on. but. Not everyone chooses to run away after seeing such a scene. I saw an iceberg not too far away from the wave. There is a group of strangely dressed people. They were clearly divided into two groups of people, and there was a considerable distance between them. Some of them were wearing white coats, like researchers in a research institute. The other part is wearing a black robe and a hood. It looks extremely suspicious. But if Xia En were here, he would be able to see... The style of those black robes is clearly the standard equipment of [Black Flame Walker] - black flame robes! As for the identities of those researchers, it is even more clear. That is obviously a member of the [Truth Society]! at this time. Watch the dangerous and terrifying waves of monsters below. The leading member of the [Truth Society], instead of showing any panic or fear, showed a proud smile. "Everything is going according to plan." "The day we leave for the new world is one step closer..." However, not all [Truth Society] members approve of this behavior. One of the researchers couldn''t help but ask. "Mr. Yaen, I really don''t understand why we are doing this?" "Whether it''s controlling the God-Destroying Cannon to attack [Great Flame], awakening [Great Flame], or summoning these filthy creatures under the ice." "Wouldn''t it all cause a fatal blow to the [Far North Expeditionary Force]?" The researcher had strong confusion on his face and asked questions one after another. "Without the power of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]?" "How can we prevent the disaster of annihilation from happening?" "Aren''t you digging your own grave by doing this?" In fact, not only this researcher, but also other members of the [Truth Society] among this group of people hold similar views. Just like Moritz thought. After all, members of the [Truth Society] are also part of the Seven Seas world. Most of them still hope to prevent this disaster and protect their world. But at this time. The orders issued by the [Truth Society] high-level officials and what they have done are undoubtedly pushing this world into the abyss of destruction. This will naturally cause dissatisfaction and confusion among these members. Only then did this person ask the question at this moment. And to this. The man called Mr. Yaen just sneered. "Fimir, pay attention to your attitude." "You are just a mediocre person whose truth number is not in the top 100. What qualifications do you have to talk to me, a genius ranked tenth, like this?" Hearing this, Femi''s momentum suddenly froze and his face turned red. It is different from other organizations and forces where status is determined by rank and strength. In the [Truth Society], academic achievements and intelligence often occupy a greater proportion. Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) Simply put. If you want to be a high-ranking member of the [Truth Society], you dont have to be strong, but you definitely dont have to be smart! Like the top twenty members of the Truth Serial Number All are geniuses among geniuses. The research they have done, each taken individually, can have a huge impact on Nanami''s academic world. And this Mr. Yaen is the character of [Truth No. 010]. The code name is [Xianlu Doll]! In terms of status, he naturally far surpasses Femir, whose truth number is not in the top 100. Such academic pressure (abbreviated as academic pressure) immediately put Feimir in a weak position. And Yaen continued. "However, it is normal for mediocre people like you to be unable to understand the master''s great plan." "You are right. If we do this, it will indeed lead to the destruction of the Seven Seas world." But by then, we were already on our way to a glorious new world. "What is this world like, and what does it have to do with us?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Yaen''s lips. "After I leave, there won''t be any flooding!" "New world..." Hearing this, a bit of struggle flashed across Fimiel''s face, but he still asked with difficulty. "What is the new world?" "You keep saying that you can reach a wonderful new world." "But if that new world is not as good as our current Seven Seas world, then where should we go from here?" "No matter what, there is definitely something wrong with what we are doing now!" It is not difficult to hear from Fimmels words that there are still normal people in the [Truth Society]. However, such voices are too rare. "Yeah?" Yaen glanced at him coldly. "In other words, you want to resist my order?" Under the pressure released by Yaen, Femir trembled slightly and turned pale, but he still said firmly. "That''s right." "We must not destroy our world." laugh! Without any warning, a thin line of blood suddenly appeared on Fimiel''s neck. Feimier opened his eyes wide and couldn''t believe it. "you" The next moment. Femir''s head slipped straight down and fell on the pale white glacier, leaving a trace behind. Crimson blood stains. There was still a strong reluctance on that face. He never thought that he would die here like this. "Fimir!" "Ya En...you! You actually killed him directly?" Yaen''s actions naturally attracted the surprised gazes and questions from other [Truth Society] members. Although they [the Truth Society] don''t mind using violent methods. But under normal circumstances, I am more accustomed to convincing people with reason. After all, the so-called truth always becomes clearer with more debate. If you don''t even give the other party the right to speak, how can there be a debate? so. Ya En''s behavior at this time undoubtedly violated the basic unspoken rules of the [Truth Society]. The other members couldn''t help but look at him with a bit of fear and vigilance. He dared to kill Fimir. This means that he may take action against himself and others at any time. But this time. To the other people present, Yaen showed a warm smile. "Don''t worry, as long as you obey my orders and open up the road to the new world with me." "I won''t do anything to you." This obviously cannot appease everyone''s mood. Another [Truth Society] member said. "Jane, what you did violated our [Truth Society] creed." "I want to expose your behavior to the president!" "hehe" Yaen smiled disdainfully. "Do you think the master will be on your side?" "Forget it, I have nothing to say to you mediocre people." "I just need you to contribute your efforts to the new world. That''s enough." While saying this. There seemed to be a strange rhythm that spread along with Yaen''s words. And when this melody reached everyone''s ears, their expressions became temporarily sluggish. Subsequently. The anger on the face of the person who asked the question quickly dissipated, and he murmured to himself. "Yes, the new world..." "If it''s for a new world, it''s worth paying any price." "What does the sacrifice of just one or two people mean?" It''s not just him. Almost all members of the [Truth Society] present showed similar expressions. There seems to be a steel seal of thought, accompanying this melody, gradually being engraved in the depths of their minds. Making traveling to the new world their most important goal at the moment. But not everyone is affected by such music. Another [Truth Society] member with a certain amount of mental resistance looked at Ya En not far away with a mix of shock and anger. "Yan, what on earth did you do?" "You actually exert mental control over your companions?" The reason why Yaen is called "The Rhythm Doll" is precisely because of his secret ability, which can distort the thinking of others with the help of rhythm. But even his colleagues did not expect that Yaen would use this ability on them! And it''s fast. This member of the [Truth Society] who was still awake suddenly realized something. "No wonder" "Recently, a trend of ''doing whatever it takes for the so-called new world'' has gradually emerged in the [Truth Society]." "It turns out...it was you!" Naturally, no one who can become a member of the [Truth Society] is a fool. The only remaining sober person, after thinking for a moment, realized a more terrifying possibility. The master in Ya Ens mouth is the elusive president of the [Truth Society]. Then, Yaen''s brainwashing of the members most likely came from the instruction of the president! Thinking of this, the man suddenly felt chills all over his body. And Yaen''s words came from behind him. "Smart people tend to die quickly." "Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of luck..." (End of chapter) Chapter 394 【Rebel】【King in the Sea of ??Fire】 Chapter 394 [Rebel] [King in the Sea of ??Fire] The last few members of the [Truth Society] who remained conscious died at the hands of Ya En. There was no longer any objection among the group. There was a strange kind of enthusiasm on everyone''s faces. Like a fanatic''s belief in a god. But at this time, their enthusiasm was for that illusory and extremely mysterious new world. Saw this scene. Ya En couldn''t help but show a look of satisfaction on his face. Only by uniting our forces can we better complete the master''s plan. - Eliminate all opposing voices. How can this not be a form of unity? And in a farther place. The [Black Flame Walkers] wearing black robes watched the infighting among the members of the [Truth Society] with cold eyes. Neither stopped nor helped any of them. After all, they were not fellow travelers from the beginning, but only had a temporary cooperative relationship. As long as you can achieve your goals. Naturally, he doesn''t care about the other person''s life or death. However, looking at the mighty monster waves under the glacier. Some [Black Flame Walkers] also showed some wavering emotions. someone asked their leader. "Lord Mo Yan, is this really the right thing for us to do?" "Can we really go back to the [Great Yan Country]?" Compared to the wavering of his subordinates, the [Black Flame Walker] known as Mo Yan acted particularly resolutely, without any wavering in his tone. "Of course it''s correct." Mo Yan responded: "If it weren''t for this, how could we cooperate with these guys with bad brains?" If anyone else heard their conversation at this time, they would definitely think it was a fantasy. The purpose of this group of [Black Flame Walkers] is to return to the long-destroyed [Great Flame Kingdom]! However, most of the [Black Flame Walkers] here are convinced that this goal can be achieved. In fact. This is the fundamental reason why they cooperate with the [Truth Society]. Not that long ago. [Truth Society] made a promise to [Black Flame Walker]. It will create for them a [Great Yan Kingdom] that is the same as before. Let them live happily, peacefully and proudly in their own country as they have for hundreds of years. And the one the [Truth Society] dares to rely on to make such a promise is naturally this undead named [Great Flame]. Just collect enough information from this undead and transform it into what they expected. The former [Great Yan Kingdom] will come back. Because of this. This part of the [Black Flame Walkers] will assist the [Truth Society] and launch bombardments on the [Great Flame], thereby waking him up in advance. The purpose is to prevent the [Far North Expeditionary Force] from destroying [Great Flame] in advance. certainly. Some [Black Flame Walkers] actually know very well that the reshaped [Great Yan Kingdom] will eventually be somewhat different from the real [Great Yan Kingdom]. It might even be just an illusion, a dream. But whats wrong with the world of illusion? The reality is too cruel. The people they loved, cherished, and wanted to protect had all been destroyed by the disaster. Together with the once prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom], they were buried in the dust of history. As long as I can return to that [Great Yan Country] and live with the people I want to see... So what if everything is an illusion? As for other people in the modern Seven Seas world, what does it have to do with them? - Just like no one cares about or understands the sacrifices made by [Great Yan Kingdom] in these hundreds of years. Since, the people and history of the world have forgotten them. [Black Flame Walker] What reason does he have to sacrifice himself again to protect the world? Look at it from this point of view. These [Black Flame Walkers] and [Truth Society] members have one thing in common. That is... In order to achieve their goals, they no longer care about other people''s opinions and feelings. The deaths of people on the Seven Seas, the destruction of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], the coming of the second great flood... everything is just a necessary sacrifice. Listening to the conversation between Mo Yan and others. Among the crowd, an inconspicuous [Black Flame Walker] showed a worried expression. His identity is different from the people around him. He is an undercover agent sent by King Xin to lurk among the rebels. Watching other people''s emotions getting higher and higher. The undercover agent felt particularly heavy and murmured in his heart. "How did things develop to this point?" actually. After the [Black Flame Walkers] wake up. The idea of ??going back to the past and being hostile to the people of the Seven Seas has spread among them in a small and medium-sized area, and has gained certain recognition. It was only the admiration, respect and loyalty to King Xin that kept this view in check. There was no greater impact. Simply put. They may think so, but they won''t act on it. Since ancient times, people have no regard for their heart. As long as the [Black Flame Walkers] still obey King Xin''s orders, King Xin will not be able to do anything to them. Only time can heal [Black Flame Walker]''s sadness and anger. If it continues like this. Maybe there will be no rebels, let alone the collusion between the [Black Flame Walker] and the [Truth Society]. However. With Mo Yan''s betrayal, the situation spiraled out of control. Ink flame. It is a flame like ink. It has the same meaning as the "black flame" of [Black Flame Walker]. This shows that Mo Yan has a special status among the [Black Flame Walkers]. It can be said. He is a member of the first batch of [Black Flame Walkers] and is also the elder among the elders of [Black Flame Walkers]. at the same time. Mo Yan was once one of King Xin''s most trusted subordinates. But it happened that such a number one person finally chose to betray King Xin and led his men to establish the so-called rebel organization. If it weren''t for Mo Yan''s prestige and reputation, it would not have been possible to attract so many [Black Flame Walkers] to join him. To this day. Many people, including this undercover agent, couldn''t figure out why Mo Yan betrayed King Xin? And at this time. The undercover agent didn''t even need to speak before another [Black Flame Walker] asked. "Lord Mo Yan, then... where is King Xin?" "In the [Great Yan Kingdom] created by the [Truth Society], will there also be a salary king?" Although the rebels have nominally betrayed Wang and cooperated with the [Truth Society]. But it has to be said. The respect for King Xin is still deeply engraved in their hearts. How can this deep-rooted thought be eradicated in a short time? So much so that the very fact of being enemies with King Xin gave them a lot of psychological burden. Even some [Black Flame Walkers] have the idea of ????persuading King Xin to "introduce him to the right path". In response, Mo Yan shook his head and said. "I have already said that the current salary king is no longer the salary king we know." "He has been polluted by this world, forgotten his original intention, and abandoned the former [Great Yan Kingdom]." Hearing this, the [Black Flame Walker] who asked the question still murmured. "But, he is still the king after all..." These words caused several [Black Flame Walkers] nearby to fall into silence. They naturally knew that what they had done was already a betrayal of King Xin. However, the thought of confronting King Xin head-on. Their mood inevitably becomes a little heavy and complicated. Seeing the expressions of his companions, Mo Yan hesitated and sighed. "It seems...it''s time to tell you about that." Mo Yan looked around at the people around him and continued. "You haven''t always been curious." "As King Xin''s once most trusted subordinate, why would I betray King Xin, become a member of the rebels, and cooperate with the [Truth Society]?" "Now, I will tell you the truth of the matter." Mo Yan silently raised his voice and said to everyone. Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) "If I really want to say it, it''s not that I betrayed King Xin." "But..." "King Xin took the lead in betraying us and the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]!" As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence. Everyone looked at Mo Yan with shocked eyes. Even the boldest and most arrogant [Black Flame Walker] would not dare to say such a thing. Because everyone knows that King Xins dedication and love for [Great Yan Kingdom]. No one will deny Xin Wangs efforts to save the world. even Without King Xin, there would be no birth of [Great Yan Kingdom] at all. But at this time. Mo Yan said, King Xin betrayed [Great Yan Kingdom]? This sounds really ridiculous! The undercover agent couldn''t help but ask. "Lord Mo Yan, are you crazy?" "Do you know what you''re talking about?" Mo Yan seemed to have anticipated the reactions of others and continued. "I know, you will think what I say is like fantasy." "But I can guarantee with my life that everything I say is the truth." "And, I also brought you evidence..." The words just fell. Mo Yan''s finger pointed slightly in the air. A translucent light curtain unfolded. A changing scene began to appear above it. The scene on the screen quickly silenced everyone present. I saw that on the light screen, a sea of ??fire gradually appeared. fire! There are blazing flames everywhere! The raging sea of ??fire is engulfing everything. From the collapsing houses, thick billowing black smoke rose into the sky, as if to dye the dim sky into red and black colors. Even through the light curtain, everyone seemed to be able to feel the burning smell and the hot temperature rushing towards their faces. And every [Black Flame Walker] present can recognize it. What was shrouded in flames was the [Great Yan Kingdom] they were familiar with! The towns and buildings were all as they remembered them. And at this time. This sea of ??fire submerged not just a single city, but the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]! Xifeng City, Beimang City, Handong Port, Lenglie Corridor... These are cities or regions that they are familiar with and are extremely familiar with. At this moment, everything was swallowed up and burned by the raging flames. Those fortresses, schools, city walls that they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build... All of them gave out their last screams in the flames. Then pieces collapsed, turning into ruins in a sea of ??fire. And wasn''t it just the buildings that were engulfed by the flames? There are countless civilians in the city. They seemed to have no idea what was happening and were suddenly involved in this disaster. People were crying and wailing in the sea of ????fire, with panic and pain on their faces. "Help, who will save us?" "What happened to this fire?" "Mom...I don''t want to die..." Some people were even shouting King Xin''s name. "King! King of salary!" "Where are you? Have you abandoned your people?" Seeing this scene, many [Black Flame Walkers] couldn''t help but widen their eyes, and huge waves arose in their hearts. "What...what the **** is going on?" "Did this really happen?" "Why has there never been such a fire in my memory?" The reason for their sudden change in attitude. It''s because, in their impression, the only person who could cause such a fire that swept the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] was King Xin! But the problem is... How could King Xin use such flames on his own people? Mo Yan looked at the scene in the light curtain and said with a complicated expression. "Do any of you still remember...how we fell into sleep?" And what happened before we fell asleep? Hearing this, everyone couldn''t help but fell silent. All smart [Black Flame Walkers] have long realized that their memory is actually lacking. Especially the memories before falling into deep sleep and when disaster strikes are extremely blurry. I can''t recall it anyway. But most people only think that it is a side effect of sleeping on life support devices. Very few people would associate it with King Xin. But after seeing the scene in the light curtain and being reminded by Mo Yan, they finally noticed something. Mo Yan continued: "Don''t you have any doubts..." "Why do we have such vague memories of what happened before we fell asleep?" "And why does this symptom appear in everyone?" "Now, I can tell you that the reason why we lost this memory was precisely King Xin''s work!" "The purpose is to hide the truth in this period of history!" while he was speaking. The scene on the light screen changed again. The perspective that previously focused on the entire country continues to shrink and shrink again. Finally, it landed in a city. That is the capital of [Great Yan Kingdom] Fanyan City! Move with the perspective. Soon, the scene in the [Great Yan] Palace appeared on the light screen. But that picture shocked everyone present. I saw. In the burning palace, under the crumbling ruins. The tall and majestic king sat alone on his lonely throne, looking at the city and country shrouded in a sea of ??fire. Like a sculpture. His face was hidden in the shadows, and no one could see his expression clearly at this time. But there is no doubt that all [Black Flame Walkers] can recognize That is the king of [Great Yan Kingdom], King Xin! (End of chapter) Chapter 395 [The truth behind the destruction of the Chapter 395 [The truth about the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom] The scene presented in the light curtain caused everyone present to fall into silence. Because this scene seemed to prove their previous conjecture. The initiator of this fire that burned down the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] was none other than King Xin, whom they trusted and respected so much! The reason is simple. If this fire was not caused by King Xin. So how could he sit on the throne like this and let the fire rage when faced with the flames burning the palace and the country in front of him? If it were the King Xin they were familiar with, he would definitely absorb and extinguish those flames as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the fire. On the other hand. Many [Black Flame Walkers] have long seen some familiar characteristics from this fire. It seems like everything can be ignited. It seems like it will never go out. Arent these characteristics exactly what King Xins flame possesses? As the subordinate closest to King Xin, [Black Flame Walker] naturally would not admit this matter. In this way, the truth will be revealed. The real cause of the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom] was not the coming of the world-destroying flood. But to be burned up by the flames of King Xin? ! Such a shocking fact, how can we prevent the [Black Flame Walkers] present from being shocked like never before? "This...how is this possible?" "How could [Great Yan Kingdom] be destroyed at the hands of King Xin?" The first reaction of everyone was naturally disbelief. Especially the undercover agent who lurked among the rebels had the most intense reaction. He immediately retorted loudly. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" "These scenes are absolutely fake!" "Someone must have deliberately distorted and tampered with the true records in order to smear King Xin." Mo Yan looked at this man with pity in his eyes and said softly. "I used to have the same idea as you, thinking that this was all an illusion deliberately created by others." "But if you recall carefully..." "Is there really no such fire in your memory?" After hearing Mo Yan''s words, the undercover agent''s expression changed slightly. At this time, he once again began to try to remember what happened before he fell into a long sleep. This time, things changed immediately. It''s different from the previous state where I couldn''t recall any memory fragments. Now, he vaguely remembered some fragmentary scenes. flame Flames in all directions, flames everywhere... Collapsed houses, crying people, burnt corpses... One brief fragment after another flashed through his mind like a shooting star. Fleeting, yet extremely real. This means - That was definitely not an illusion, but a scene that really happened in his memory! This [Black Flame Walker] suddenly woke up. There seemed to be some kind of seal in his memory. And as he saw the scene in the light curtain, the invisible seal gradually began to loosen. It allowed him to slightly recall those long-lost memories. And this just proves the authenticity of Mo Yan''s words. King Xin did indeed do something to their memories. It seems to be just to hide this fire that happened in the past! "No, I don''t believe it!" "There is no way the king would do such a thing..." Even at this moment, the trust and loyalty to King Xin still prevented the undercover agent from completely believing Mo Yan''s words. he still insisted. "I''m going to ask the king for the truth!" Hearing this, the sympathy in Mo Yan''s eyes became more intense. He looked at the other person as if he were looking at his old self. Mo Yan continued: "Even you know how to go directly to Wang Xin to question him face to face." "Do you think, after learning about this, I won''t go to the salary king for confirmation?" "And since I''m standing here, you should understand... what is the final result?" The undercover murmured: "You mean..." Mo Yan nodded: "Yes." "Wang Xin made no excuses and directly admitted his behavior." "He told me that what I was seeing was real." "The person who ultimately destroyed [Great Flame] was none other than himself as the king!" At this point, Mo Yan''s smile suddenly became extremely bitter and he said hoarsely. "Can you imagine how I felt after learning the truth?" The undercover agent shook his body and defended himself. "Perhaps...the king has his own reasons." In response, Mo Yan just sneered. "I don''t care what difficulties he has, I only know that he destroyed our [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "Such a fact cannot be explained by any reason." "Although I still respect his character, I will never obey his orders again." At this time, Mo Yan laughed coldly. He was clearly smiling, but there were tears flowing out of his eyes, and his expression was uglier than crying. "Hahaha" "To me, it was like my faith and my whole world collapsed on that day, that moment." "After that, I will no longer care about salary king! What morality!" "I just want to go back to the old [Great Yan Country], and I just want to live with the people I love." "Even if it''s an illusion, it doesn''t matter!" "I''d fight the whole world for that." Mo Yan looked around with sharp eyes. "Now, I have told you the truth of the matter." "What will you choose?" "Should you continue to follow the corrupted King Xin, or return to the embrace of [Great Yan Kingdom] with me?" [Black Flame Walker], who was shaken before, gradually became firm after hearing these words. They have all made their decisions. Even the face of the undercover agent showed a strong struggle. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty. "I choose..." Just when the situation in the [Far North] was turbulent and strange. Great FlameInside. The scene around Xia En and others also underwent indescribable changes. I saw some chaotic scenes gradually appearing on the deck of the [King]. First, large tracts of glaciers suddenly lay in front of Xia En and others. It radiates an astonishing chill. But in a blink of an eye. The glacier transformed into a burning city. The buildings in the city crackled and exploded in flames. There were also shouts and cries for help coming from the burning houses. Another trance-like moment. The burning city was restored to its original state. Bustling crowds of people are walking through the streets, and there are various shops on both sides of the streets. There are also vendors shouting around, making it look bustling and lively. It was exactly the same as Fanyan City before King Xins wedding. And the most surprising thing is. These scenes did not appear alone in front of Xia En and others. Instead, they appeared in various areas on the deck of the [King] at the same time. For example in. On Xia En''s left hand side is the endless glacier, and on the right hand side is the burning city. But in such a scene. Shane could even see the original deck and turret of the King. This makes the whole scene look increasingly chaotic and bizarre. It''s like a scene that would appear in a dream. It''s like a hallucination caused by eating too many fungi. But Xia En truly knows that this is not an illusion, but a real reality! Looking at the scene in front of him, An Bing couldn''t help but look surprised. "What on earth is this..." Beside her, Jane explained with a serious face. "I''m afraid...this is also the consequences of the suspected shelling attack just now." "After the three nodes that were destroyed by us, the state of [Great Yan] is already unstable." "I encountered such an attack again, and I started to wake up gradually." Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) "The internal structure is naturally more chaotic." Jane paused and continued. "Now, the boundaries of those memory scenes are becoming blurred and confusing." "Not only will they appear at the same time, but they may be mixed with each other." "This means that every next step we take may lead to other memory scenes." "In order to avoid being spread out, I suggest that we stay as close as possible." After hearing this, Xia En quickly understood [Dayan]''s current situation. If the scene in front of them were compared to a painting. Originally, the layer of [Great Flame] was overlaid on [King]. The different memory scenes created by [Great Flame] are distributed throughout the [King]. Each layer has clear boundaries and will not interfere or affect each other. And you can''t move in and out of other layers at will. Layers can only be crossed through special entrances and exits. For example, the door of the previous cabin, or the imitation [Eternal Coffin]. But at this time. As the entire picture scroll structure oscillates. Different layers began to cover the "King" at the same time, and they continued to blend and overlap. This constitutes such a chaotic scene. It is very likely that the next second, they will break into another memory scene without warning. And this time. Xia En''s eyes fell on the blazing sea of ??fire and asked curiously. "What''s that?" "Is it a fire in the city?" He already knew it. The memory scenes recreated by [Great Yan] are all things that happened in [Great Yan Kingdom]. It is the common memory of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom]. However, in Xia En''s memory, he had never heard of such a fire in [Great Yan Kingdom]. then. Xia En looked at An Bing with questioning eyes. As the princess of [Great Yan], An Bing should know better than herself the major events that have happened in [Great Yan Kingdom]. Maybe, you know the information related to it. But what surprised Xia En. Looking at the city in the sea of ??fire, An Bing also showed a look of shock and confusion, and murmured. "What''s going on with this fire?" "Why did I never know that there was such a fire in [Great Yan Country]?" Xia En frowned slightly: "Don''t you even know An Bing?" After thinking about it, he asked: "An Bing, you have never left [Great Yan Kingdom], right?" "Yes." An Bing nodded and said: "Since I was born, I have stayed in the [Far North], and later I have been living in Fanyan City." "I have never taken a step outside [Great Yan Country]." "If such a terrible fire had happened, there''s no way I wouldn''t have known about it." Shane asked: "You mean...the fire was fake?" An Bing said with some uncertainty. "Perhaps there is some deviation in [Da Yan''s] memory?" "Or maybe someone entered wrong memories into it?" But this time. Jane suddenly asked a question. "Although it''s a bit presumptuous, I want to make sure." "Miss An Bing, can you guarantee that your memory is complete?" An Bing was a little confused: "The memory... is complete..." "What does that mean?" Jane continued. "I heard Captain Shane say that you don''t seem to remember the memories before you fell asleep." "What I want to ask is, is the time when the fire occurred located in your missing memory?" Hearing this, An Bing was stunned. "The memory I''m missing..." All of a sudden. There was some pain and struggle on An Bing''s face. Some pictures that had been forgotten for a long time came to mind. Among them was the familiar face of King Xin. In the haze. An Bing vaguely saw King Xin holding him in his arms, slowly walking towards a coffin that seemed to be made of ice crystals. It is the imitation of [Eternal Coffin]. He looked down at himself with a touch of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes. "I may become a sinner of [Great Yan Kingdom]... But even so, I will struggle until the last moment." "And you don''t need to bear all this." "Get some sleep. When you wake up, it will all be over." An Bing struggled to open his lips, wanting to say something to him. But no sound came out of his throat. His mind was even more groggy, and an irresistible sleepiness was coming over him. Afterwards, she was put into the cold ice coffin, and she only saw King Xin''s back getting further and further away from her. "call!" An Bing exhaled sharply and opened his eyes again. Only then did I realize that I was still there. On the deck of the [King]. Xia En and others were looking at him with concern. An Bing couldn''t help turning his head to look at Jane aside, and asked warily. "What did you do to me?" Jane said thoughtfully. "It seems that you did recall some things." "Don''t worry, I just performed simple psychological treatment on you." "Using conversation and the guidance of secret power can relax your mind and remind you of forgotten things." "It''s a kind of therapy, right?" "But right now, it''s not the time to explain it in detail." "More than this, I want to know, what exactly did you recall?" Dark Ice replied. "It''s just some scenes before I fell asleep." "However, now I can confirm that I have indeed lost a memory before my long sleep." "This fire probably happened during that time period, that is...when the world-destroying flood was about to come!" Hearing this, Xia En frowned deeper. According to An Bing, the fire happened in the last moments of [Great Yan Kingdom]. But what exactly could be its cause? Could it be...the aftermath of the war between King Xin and others? Shane felt vaguely. He is only one step away from the truth of the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom]. That''s when. The communicator in his arms rang again. (End of chapter) Chapter 396 [Walking towards the sea of ??fire] Chapter 396 [Walking towards the sea of ??fire] "rustle" Perhaps due to the unstable internal state of [Great Flame], obvious noises came from the communicator. "This is Hui Cult Pastor La Tiwen..." "Other members of the infiltration operation, please reply if you hear it!" Hearing this familiar voice, Xia En couldn''t help but feel refreshed. "La Tiwen, this is Xia En, how is the situation over there?" "Captain Shane?" Latiwen''s tone suddenly took on a hint of surprise. But he also knew that it was not time to relax yet, so he said quickly. "I''m staying with Major Benny and Reverend William." "Originally we were exploring a memory scene, but suddenly we were transported to another strange space." "There are burning buildings everywhere, and many civilians are fleeing, as if they are in a fire." "However, it is precisely because of the teleportation to this space." "Our communicator has only regained the signal and can we contact you." "Fire..." Hearing this, Xia En immediately looked at the memory scene covered in fire not far away. It''s obvious. At this time, Latiwen and others were trapped in this memory scene. "Oh, right." Latiwen continued. "One more thing, we perceive the existence of nodes in this memory scene." "Now, we are rushing towards the direction of the node." Xia En''s heart moved. One of the last two nodes is actually located in this burning city? This is undoubtedly good news. At least it pointed out the direction for their next actions. No need to search through various memory scenes like a headless fly. So, Shane said. "We will enter the memory scene where you are now. It is best to keep the communication open so that we can meet up later." Latiwen quickly responded: "Okay, Captain Shane." But suddenly. boom! A huge roar came from the communicator, like the sound of some huge building collapsing. Immediately afterwards. It was a terrifying roar. Then the howling wind sounded. Even through the communicator, Xia En seemed to be able to feel the waves of air sweeping over him. It was like a monster rushing towards the owner of the communicator. "La Tiwen, be careful!" This is the voice of Pastor William of [Netherworld Sect]. But then. Click! Click! On the other end of the communicator, there was a sudden sound of collision and shattering. Xia En couldn''t help but his heart sank and he asked quickly. "La Tiwen, La Tiwen, are you okay?" "Shasha... Shasha..." At this time, the noise in the communicator became more intense. After a while, Latiwen''s somewhat panicked voice was faintly heard. "Captain Shane, we...Shasha...were attacked by unknown creatures in this sea of ??fire." "...Shasha... No, they are monsters who blaspheme life, undead who should have died long ago!" "After you encounter them, please be careful..." The communication came to an abrupt end. All that remained was an unsettling murmur. Xia En suddenly felt solemn. Obviously. In addition to this raging fire, there are other unpredictable dangers in the sea of ????fire. And at this time. It was impossible for Xia En to rush to Latiwen and others as soon as possible. He could only pray that they could survive this crisis safely. Then, Xia En looked at his companion beside him and said directly. "let''s go." "In this sea of ??fire, there may be answers we want to know." Whether it is for the purpose of joining up with companions, to eliminate the node of [Great Flame], or to explore the truth of the matter. They all need to personally enter this city shrouded in fire. Of course, Xia En also knew the dangers of this sea of ??fire. And to this. An Bing, Carles and Jane have all realized this a long time ago. Without any hesitation, they followed Xia En and walked into the city dyed red by the flames. As Shane crossed an invisible boundary. A wave of hot air hit his face. The pungent burnt smell filled the air. Every breath was like inhaling a sharp needle, which stung my nose and throat. Not far away. Flames rose into the sky, like an enraged beast from hell, baring its teeth and claws unscrupulously. The tongues of fire licked everything around crazily, and the red light illuminated the night sky like day. The billowing smoke twisted and swirled in the firelight, like a ghost dancing to the disaster. This situation is like a scene that can only be seen in purgatory. The temperature I felt on the deck of the King before was nothing compared to the heat wave in front of me now. Even with Xia En''s physique, walking in such a fire scene would cause his skin to be burned and painful. The sweat was evaporated as soon as it seeped out, leaving only a sticky layer of salt. It was as if even the hair was set on fire by the heat. Fortunately it was very quick. An Bing on the side stretched out his delicate hand. An icy chill then covered their bodies. It was like forming a protective film of icy secret power to protect them from the harm of high temperatures. But at the same time. An Bing said with a solemn expression. "The flames here are extraordinary." "Even I can''t completely shield the temperature of this flame." "Staying in this fire scene for too long may cause irreversible damage to the body." "Is there still a time limit..." Shane nodded. "I understand, let''s try to resolve it as quickly as possible." Then, Shane turned to look at Jane. "Ms. Jian, can you locate Latiwen and the others?" Jane replied: "I''ll give it a try." "However, the flames nearby seem to be able to not only burn physical matter, but also ignite secret power and perception." Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows. A fire that can be lit by anything? He is actually not unfamiliar with this characteristic. Because he had seen this characteristic from Yan Yan with his own eyes. So. The identity of the initiator of this fire seems to be clear at a glance. However, Shane looked around. Looking at the crumbling buildings in the flames, looking at the charred cities and scorched corpses in the ruins, as well as the surviving people of the [Great Yan Kingdom]. He only felt an indescribable absurdity. If this is really the case, then the fate of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] would be too sad. Shane thought. Behind this, there must be some hidden secret that he doesn''t know about yet. It''s too early to draw conclusions now. With this idea in mind, Xia En and others moved forward while observing the surrounding scene. It didn''t take long. They found a commoner who could barely communicate. This is a young man who is not very old. The clothes on his body were burned to pieces in the fire, with several charred holes. His face was covered with black dust, and he looked particularly embarrassed. only. Unlike other survivors who fled in a hurry and looked desperate. This man was just sitting in a corner of the street in a daze. His emotional state was relatively stable and he seemed to be able to communicate. So, Shane stepped forward. Ask directly. "What''s going on in this city?" "What happened to this fire?" The man raised his head and looked at Xia En blankly. His eyes had lost their sparkle, leaving only a heart-stopping emptiness and despair. Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) "Failed, failed, failed, failed..." "We are finished... [Great Yan Kingdom] is also finished..." Shane frowned. What failed? Did King Xins plan fail? But if we fail to prevent a major flood from coming, shouldn''t the entire city be flooded? How could it turn into such a fire that burned the entire city? And this time. Xia En noticed that this man was wearing a dark robe. That is the black flame robe of [Black Flame Walker]. That is to say. Is this man actually one of the [Black Flame Walkers]? Maybe, he will know some more information. Thinking of this, Xia En took out [Fire] and said. "We are King Xin''s subordinates." "Please cooperate and tell us what happened before this?" Seeing the [Fire] that exuded the aura of King Xin, the black flame walker lit up slightly, but it quickly dimmed. He spoke hoarsely. "Ice...the ice that freezes everything." "The ritual... is a trap..." "Curse...monster...only fire can remove..." Listening to these words, Xia En could see that this man''s spirit was obviously not normal anymore. The words coming out of his mouth were even more intermittent and incoherent. There seems to be no logic. Think about it carefully. The reason why this man stood there blankly was not because he was calm enough. But because... Under the huge mental shock, he has gone crazy! And the words in his mouth were more like the ravings of a madman! But even so. Shane also learned some important information from these broken words. He had witnessed the meeting between King Xin and Laila through the [Eternal Coffin]. Therefore, it was learned that King Xin planned to use the rituals spoken by the [Omniscient Sage] to prevent the coming of the great flood. at the moment. This [Black Flame Walker] called that ritual a "trap." This shows - The failure of King Xin''s plan is most likely related to this ritual and the [Omniscient Sage]. in fact Shane wasn''t surprised. After all, from the beginning, the performance of this [Omniscient Sage] was extremely suspicious. Later, the [Truth Society] attacked the underground research institute. It is only natural that he would play tricks on this ritual. But, its still the same sentence. Faced with the impending flood, King Xin didn''t have much choice. One is the pessimistic approach of doing nothing and waiting to die. The other is to try a path with a certain success rate. If it were Xia En, he would definitely choose the latter. Regardless of the final outcome, he will never sit still and wait for death. And actually. King Xin''s efforts were not a complete failure, at least he was able to seal half of the flood. Let this world not be completely submerged directly. Otherwise. There would be no Seven Seas Federation, let alone the appearance of Xia En. Just look at it now. The price of Xinwang''s success seems extremely cruel. And another sentence from this [Black Flame Walker] also made Xia En very concerned. ice? Where did the ice come from? Especially at this time, when there is a sea of ??fire in all directions. This crazy man mentioned the existence of ice. This is undoubtedly extremely unusual. Could it be that this [Black Flame Walker] had a hallucination after going insane? Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this. The [Black Flame Walker] in front of him suddenly changed strangely. The man roared like a beast. Subsequently. A black flame burned out of thin air on his body surface. It spread from the chest to the arms, limbs, head...and even every corner of the body. His skin, flesh, and bones became charred black at a speed visible to the naked eye. His body stooped, and his clothes were burned in an instant. His eyeballs also disappeared. Only two black flames remained in the dark eye sockets, staring at Xia En in front of him. At this time, the man did not have a human form. He clearly looked like a charred corpse coming out of purgatory! All these changes happened in just one second. It didn''t feel like he was burned by flames. But... This is what he originally looked like! It was just that under the guise of some kind of power, he temporarily assumed the appearance of a normal person. And this black flame only made him return to his original appearance. And this time. Xia En inexplicably thought of the curse mentioned by this man. "Could it be...that this is a curse imposed on them?" But this burnt undead obviously wouldn''t give Xia En much time to think. After letting out a low growl, he rushed towards him. The smelly wind howled with scorching heat. Faced with such an attack, Xia En covered the surface of his fist with [Great Dark Sky] and punched out without hesitation. There was a muffled sound of "boom"! The charred corpse immediately fell apart and turned into a pile of debris. Have a hidden profession like [Secret Keeper]. As Xia En comes into contact with more and more secrets, the density of interpretations continues to increase. His overall quality and strength have made great progress again, and he can naturally do this with pure strength. Just quickly. Xia En realized that the charred corpses scattered on the ground had not completely rested, and stopped his actions. Instead, they slowly come together and gradually piece together into their original posture. Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. He had seen this kind of immortality in the ice crystal monsters in the [Far North]! Shane suddenly realized. Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of this man''s words. The real curse may not be this state of charred corpses, but... Those various [filthy creatures] in the [Far North]! They have been contaminated by the filthy secret power, and their souls are imprisoned in polluted and mutated bodies, and they will never be able to escape forever. The soul can only be allowed to go crazy over a long period of time. This is the truly terrible curse. So, what is the purpose of this fire... (End of chapter) Chapter 397 [Copy of King Xin] Chapter 397 [Copy of King Xin] Many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. But right now, the crisis is not over yet. It''s not just the charred corpses that are still gathering in front of him. From the burning ruins nearby, several suppressed roars began to come out one after another. Thinking about it, it was the strange change of this undead that stimulated other beings in this sea of ??fire. Let them change into their proper form. As a part of [Great Flame], these existences naturally harbor strong malice towards outsiders like Xia En. To expel them from this place. This situation is exactly the same as the situation when [Fan Yan City] was surrounded by the undead. Thinking of this, Xia En said to Carles and others without thinking, no longer caring about the corpse that was still being reorganized around him. "We have to speed up." "Jane, how are you? Have you locked Latiwen and the others'' location?" Jane had long realized the seriousness of the situation, and in the depths of her eyes, silver-gray light kept flashing. That is countless chaotic information and data flowing. And through indescribable methods of processing and calculation, it finally becomes valuable information. Although, Jane''s perception was disturbed by this special flame. However, with the help of those residual information. She still vaguely determined the location of Latiwen and others. Jane spoke. "Here, follow me." With the help of the cold protection exerted by the dark ice, Jian rushed straight into a sea of ??fire. Xia En and others naturally followed closely. boom! After passing through a square full of flames and ruins. In the city not far away, a huge roar suddenly came All he saw was the mid-air shrouded in billowing black smoke. There were two figures colliding together like a comet hitting the earth. One of them was Benny, a soldier wearing a smart uniform and a short haircut. The other one was a mysterious figure shrouded in black robes. At this moment. The two sides are attacking and fighting each other at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to catch with the naked eye. It triggered bursts of sonic booms and air waves. As a war madman, Benny naturally possesses extraordinary combat power. Even though he seemed to be easily defeated by An Bing. That''s because Dark Ice''s freezing law vaguely restrains him. And if this point is put aside, the combat power that his physical body can exert can actually catch up with Xia En when he can''t use the [Great Dark Sky]. But now. Facing this mysterious man in black robe, Benny was unable to gain the upper hand at all. As the man in black robe took action again and again. One after another, pitch-black flames roared towards Benny. Benny, who has always had a broad-minded fighting style, was extremely cautious when facing these black flames. He could only dodge left and right, which was extremely embarrassing. As if afraid of being touched. And you can see it if you look closely. There was a gap as big as the mouth of a bowl in Benny''s waist and abdomen. The injury looked as if he had dug it out himself! Not hard to guess. That kind of flame probably has some weird characteristics. Once it''s on, it won''t go out. The only way to forcibly reduce the injury is to use the method of a strong man breaking his wrist. Likewise. This is also the reason why Benny is so restrained when fighting. His energy and blood strength and his refined martial arts skills are indeed outstanding among the sixth-level Mystics. But his power level only stopped at the sixth level after all, and he failed to touch the realm of law. Only then did he gain the upper hand in this battle. Although I had some conflicts with Benny. But now, they are all comrades infiltrating the operation. Shane couldn''t sit back and watch Benny being killed by the opponent. So in the first place. Xia En stepped on the ground with both feet and struck at the black-robed man in mid-air like an arrow from a string. "Benny, let me help you!" "Is it you?" Seeing Shane suddenly appear, a flash of surprise flashed across Benny''s face. He didn''t expect that Xia En would find their location so quickly. However, his rich combat experience allowed Benny to quickly regain his composure and issued a warning. "Beware of his flames." But the reaction of the man in black robe was more direct. He swung his hands forward suddenly, and raging black flames instantly burst out from his palms, like two roaring black dragons, rushing towards Xia En with their teeth and claws. Wherever the flames passed, the ground was scorched black. The sand and rocks turned into hot lava, sizzling. In response, Shane did not dodge to the side like Benny did. Instead, it directly opens the realm of [Great Dark Sky], as if covered with a body of pitch-black armor. The body crashed directly towards the two fire dragons. Bennys expression not far away suddenly changed. Is this guy crazy? Dont want to die? Didnt I just remind you to be careful of his flames? Why did you bump into him so recklessly? No wonder Benny felt like this. Reinforcements finally arrived, and they just rushed in and killed them! ? Just when Benny thought that Shane was going to suffer a lot, and might even be directly burned to charcoal by the black flames. The two raging fire dragons seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow, and were actually cut in half. Soon after, the collapse disappeared. Xia En, who was wearing black armor, walked out of the flames unscathed. Not a trace of flame remained on his body. Just as Xia En expected. The ability to ignite this flame is essentially a manifestation of the power of law. But against the [Secret Power of the Void] at the same level, it cannot be as invincible as before. "What?" Seeing this scene, Benny couldn''t help but widen his eyes. He had personally experienced the terror of the black flames of the man in black robe. Why does it fall on Xia En now and become no different from ordinary flames? Shocked. Shocked. Benny also knows that now is the best time to defeat the opponent. Then, Benny''s expression suddenly became serious and he shouted softly. "Captain Shane, I''ll cover you." "It''s up to you to kill him!" Immediately, he launched a fierce attack on the black-robed man from the flank. The crimson blood escaped from Benny''s body and continuously bombarded the enemy like cannonballs, thus attracting the attention of the man in black robe. But at the same time, his body was also touched by those black flames. Thus it started to burn continuously. Benny''s attack power is not weak in the first place. It was just because of this weird black inflammation that he was forced to restrain his hands and feet. As he ignored his own injuries, he naturally left no room for distraction for the man in black robes. And take advantage of this opportunity. A slender jet black sword was quietly shaped in Xia En''s hand. at the same time. [Eye of Peeping Secrets] activates! The vision in his eyes suddenly turned into a world composed of countless points and line segments. It''s just a matter of breathing. Several fatal weaknesses of the man in black robes were clearly reflected in his eyes. As he continues to master the [Peeping Eye of Secrets], Xia En is now able to skillfully use this ability in combat. Those flaws and loopholes that were originally difficult to detect are as eye-catching as the bright moon in the night sky. The next moment. A dark light flashed through this fiery purgatory. The man in black robe who was accumulating flames suddenly stopped and froze in place. A dark sword mark penetrated his entire body. Soon, the black flames wrapped around the man in black robe gradually dissipated. The black robe was also split into two by Xia En. As the black robe fell. Everyone was able to see clearly the true face of this mysterious man. Please...you...collect 6...9...books...! But after seeing that face, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils and murmured. "How could..." Under the black robe, there was a face that was extremely familiar to him. He has handsome facial features, a tall nose, and sharp edges like a marble statue. If not Yan Yan, who is it? only. Compared with the Yan Yan Xia En knew, his pupils were pure black. Like that weird flame color. Moreover, only the left half of the man''s face in black robes remained intact. The right half of his face seemed to be burned, covered with horrific scars. It''s obvious. This is definitely not the Yan Yan that Xia En is familiar with. It''s more like a weird, poor copy. "Wait...a clone?" Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly woke up. Now that the [Truth Society] has created a copy of Augustine, it has even been put into actual combat. So, Yan Yan, or... Where is the salary king? Could they have also created a clone of King Xin? Even if it is not like the Augustine "B5" that he encountered before, he has almost the same thinking and memory. But thinking about it, it is still possible to have some of the same characteristics as King Xin. For example. This black flame contains the power of law! As for the reason why this "salary king" has physical scars and mutilations. Probably because... He is just a failed copy. Although these are just Shane''s guesses. But looking at the corpse in front of him that was gradually losing its vitality, he felt quite confident. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression suddenly became serious. This also means that the [Truth Society] has also sneaked into this memory scene. I just dont know what purpose they have this time? While Shane was thinking. Benny on the side took out a sharp knife. Using the method of cutting flesh, the parts attached to the black inflammation were directly cut off. Soon, dozens of wounds appeared on his body. But Benny''s expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if the meat he was cutting was not his own. This made Xia En couldn''t help but give him a high look. I have to say. This Benny is indeed a tough guy, and his style is very military-style. And aside. An Bing stared blankly at the body lying on the ground. She is also a smart person, so she quickly realized the essence of "this corpse is a clone". As a result, a rare angry look appeared on An Bing''s face. "Unforgivable..." "How dare you blaspheme King Xin in this way, I will make them pay the price!" Although An Bing has mixed emotions towards King Xin. But at this time, seeing someone create a clone of King Xin still made her feel more angry than ever before. Xia En and An Bing were in similar moods, but at times like this, they had to stay calm. He turned to look at Benny and asked. "Where are William and Lativine?" Benny pointed to an open space not far away and said in a serious tone. "Just now, Pastor William was seriously injured while protecting us." "You''d better get him treated as soon as possible." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately walked towards the open space. I saw an area where the fire had calmed down slightly, and William was sitting there. His eyes were half closed and his breath was weak. Behind him, Latiwen''s hands emitted a faint fluorescent light, seeming to be treating him. Seeing Xia En and others, Latiwen''s eyes first showed a hint of joy, but then dimmed again. "Captain Shane, Reverend William, he..." Shane took a closer look. It was discovered that there was an extremely horrific penetrating wound in William''s abdomen. The intestines and other internal organs are directly exposed to the hot air. There are also clusters of pitch-black flames swimming in it, constantly destroying the physical tissue, and the state is in a precarious state. Latiwen''s healing radiance only temporarily saved his life. But once the treatment is stopped, William''s injuries will completely explode and there will be no way to recover. It can be said. Now, William''s vitality is like sand between his fingers. No matter how much he invests, it will eventually be lost. And this time. William opened his eyes with difficulty. Feeling the warm glow behind him, he had a wry smile on his face and said hoarsely. "I didn''t expect that in the end, my life would be hung by the heretic''s divine power." Beads of sweat continued to leak out from Latiwen''s forehead, which was quickly dried by the high temperature around her. She couldn''t help but scolded "How long has it been and you are still thinking about this?" Even if his life hangs on a thread, William''s attitude is still very open-minded. He chuckled. "Of course I have to care. This is something I have been obsessed with my whole life." With that said, William turned to look at Xia En, who was not far away, and murmured. "Being able to see the Holy Son before I die can be regarded as fulfilling my last wish." Shane shook his head. "Don''t give up, you may not die yet!" Then, Shane stretched out his hand and placed it on Williams wound. Wisps of [Secret Power of the Void] began to seep into his body. Of course, Xia En doesn''t know how to heal injuries. But he could see it at a glance. What really caused William''s injuries to worsen was the black flames remaining in his body. Then, in theory, as long as the [Void Secret Power] uses the characteristics of swallowing and assimilating other secret powers, William can get out of danger! And with the entry of [Secret Power of the Void]. William''s face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief. "This, this power is..." In an instant, William looked at Xia En with more respect and humility. "As expected, you are the agent of [Lord of the Deep] in the human world." Xia En raised his eyebrows. What do you have or dont have? Could it be said that the secret power controlled by [Lord of the Underworld] is somewhat similar to the [Secret Power of the Void]? But right now, it is obviously not the time to delve into this matter. Behind William, Latiwen immediately noticed the changes in his internal injuries and couldn''t help but look happy. "Great, Mr. William is saved." But that''s it. Several more roars came from the nearby sea of ??fire. (End of chapter) Chapter 398 [Great Yan’s Malice] [The Power of the G Chapter 398 [Great Yans Malice] [The Power of the Divine Cannon! aside. Jane also reminded with a solemn expression. "Captain Xia En, we detected several auras similar to the man in black robes appearing nearby." "We can''t stay here any longer." "A few?" Shane''s eyes narrowed slightly. Think about it too. Since these salary kings are just failed products, it is conceivable that there must be more than one of them. but. This is definitely not good news for Xia En and others. This defective clone of King Xin caused them a lot of trouble. When their number increases to a certain level, even Shane can''t easily cope with it. And at this time, William was seriously injured. It will obviously slow them down significantly. at this time. William quickly realized this and spoke. "Lord Holy Son, you don''t have to worry about me anymore." "Bringing me with you will only make you fall into the enemy''s circle and miss the opportunity to destroy the [Great Flame] node." "Besides, if I could feel the power of the Lord at the last moment, I would die without regrets." Shane shook his head. "I said, it''s not time to give up yet." "An Bing, take care of his injuries and let''s go." In order to prevent William''s wounds from getting worse while on the road. Xia En asked An Bing to use the secret power of ice to temporarily freeze his wounds, and asked La Tiwen to continue treating William. Xia En himself directly carried William and Latiwen on his shoulders and left in the direction where he perceived fewer enemies. With his strength, bringing William along with him would not have much impact on the action. And while leaving this area. Shane asked Jane. "Ms. Jane, can you find the location of the nodes in this memory scene?" Right now, the goal of rescuing his companions has been achieved. Naturally, we have to try to destroy the key nodes in this memory scene. Before Jane could speak, An Bing beside her said "Captain Shane, if I''m not mistaken." "The city in this memory scene is probably... Fanyan City!" "Fan Yan City?" Shane reacted immediately. Although the memory of [Great Yan] covers all areas of [Great Yan Country]. But for the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], what impressed them more deeply was definitely what happened in the more important areas. Therefore, the memory scenes recreated by [Great Flame] are most likely located in these important areas. It''s just that the time point is different. The core of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] is naturally its royal capital - Fanyan City. Xia En couldn''t recognize it before. But after Dark Ice reminded him, he quickly noticed some eye-catching signs in the sea of ??fire. For example, I once saw a steeple bell tower. Another example is the familiar neighborhood that I passed just now. only. The Fanyan City at this time was completely different from the memory scene of King Xin''s wedding. The ruthless fire burned everything. The billowing smoke covered every inch of the sky like devil''s tentacles. The streets that used to be bustling and full of festive atmosphere are now only ruins. The charred bricks and stones were in pieces, silently telling the cruelty of the disaster. The houses where the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] live are screaming in flames. The beauty of the past has long been shattered like a dream. All that''s left is devastation. Two memory scenes that are clearly in the same city, but compared to each other, it seems like they have gone from heaven to hell. Xia En couldn''t help but feel emotional. but. Now that the identity of this city was confirmed, the destination of Xia En and others immediately became clear. That is - Dayan Palace! The core of the entire city, and King Xin in this memory scene, may be in the palace. Just get to that place. I''m afraid...the final truth will be completely revealed in front of Xia En. Thinking of this, Xia En simply opened a pair of shadow wings and temporarily rose into the air. After looking around, he quickly found the direction of the palace. Just like other areas in Fanyan City. At this time, the [Great Yan] Palace was also submerged in the sea of ??fire. even. The fire in that direction was even stronger and more turbulent. The scarlet flames soared into the sky, engulfing the cold and iron-blooded palace, reflecting the colors of blood and fire. Xia En had a feeling for no reason. The source of this fire may have come from deep within the palace. After confirming the direction of the palace. Xia En immediately returned to the ground and led a group of people in that direction. The reason why he didnt fly directly to the palace was because Xia En sensed it. In the sea of ????fire below, there are many malicious gazes. Once you leap over the sea of ??fire blatantly, you will be immediately besieged by them. Not long after. After advancing for a while through the burning city. Shane makes an unexpected discovery. In the ruins, he saw many [Black Flame Walkers]. Some of them, like the [Black Flame Walker] before, became insane in front of the fire. Some are trying to save other residents in the city. Others have turned into charred corpses in the flames. Obviously. In the face of this disaster, the [Black Flame Walkers] are also working hard to make the final struggle. You can see them in the fire. Xia En suddenly thought of something that he had always ignored. According to Irina and Sergey. They are awakened from a special life-support device. It was with the help of this device that [Black Flame Walker] escaped the great flood that submerged the world and slept for hundreds of years. But here''s the thing. Like An Bing, they knew nothing about the fire in the bustling city. At this time, what is going on with these [Black Flame Walkers] in Fanyan City? Did King Xin deliberately select some [Black Flame Walkers] and let them stay in this city to die? Shane instinctively felt that this was impossible. and. [Black Flame Walkers] There are still quite a few survivors. In other words, there must be a dedicated area for placing the so-called life-support device. So, where will the resting place of the [Black Flame Walkers] be? Could it be that King Xin had anticipated this disaster in advance. So, they were placed in other shelters away from the city? Xia En vaguely felt that there were some very important secrets behind this incident. suddenly. An Bing on the side stopped and looked blankly in one direction among the ruins. Shane asked immediately. "An Bing, what''s wrong?" An Bing muttered with dull eyes. "That body is..." So, Xia En followed her gaze and couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. I saw the streets turning into scorched earth not far away. There was a female body, lying on her back on the ground. She didn''t seem to die from the burning fire, but rather from other injuries. This kept her face from being burned beyond recognition by the flames. Therefore, Xia En could clearly see the face of the female corpse. It was a woman he had seen more than once [Black Flame Walker], Irina! Seeing this, Xia En couldn''t help but stir up waves in his heart. Why did Irina''s body appear here? This book was recently updated in ##@@@@@@!! Updated! In his understanding, Irina clearly lived well into the post-flood era. He even took on the mission of awakening Dark Ice. Only then did he have several contacts with Xia En. So what is going on with this corpse here? Is there some kind of fallacy in [Da Yan]''s memory? Was the Irina created by Him affected by external factors like them? Still say. The real Irina is already dead? Is this the truth in history? And if this is the case. So, is it really only Irina who has died long ago? With thoughts in his heart fluctuating, Xia En asked An Bing seriously. "Miss An Bing, I want to ask you something." "Have you really seen the life-support device that Irina and the others talk about?" "In other words, have you heard that King Xin has developed such a result?" "I" After thinking for a moment, An Bing said frankly. "To be honest, I haven''t seen anything like this in [Great Yan Country]." "My understanding of the so-called life-support device also comes from the introduction by Irina and the others." There was a hint of bitterness on her face as she continued. "Besides, I''ve actually felt strange since a long time ago." "Since King Xin already has the technology to mass-produce such devices, why not just create more devices to save the people of [Great Yan Country]?" "Now that I think about it, this matter itself is full of doubts." By this time, An Bing had already made some ominous guesses. "really" An Bing''s words undoubtedly proved Xia En''s suspicion. However, it is still too early to draw a conclusion on this. That''s when. A "whoosh" sound came from the evil wind. A strange and ugly figure suddenly rushed out of the burning ruins. It was an undead body that was completely charred. It rushed straight towards An Bing, its dark eyes filled with hatred for the living. An Bing tapped his fingers lightly. The howling cold wind swept out and froze the undead body in an instant. But her expression did not relax. Because immediately. A terrible vibration came from far to near. Click...click... I saw that the houses that were already crumbling in the flames collapsed one after another under the weight. Immediately afterwards. One after another, the evil ghost-like figures kept approaching in the blazing fire, looming. Like a wave of undead. Those are the long-dead people of [Great Yan Kingdom], the souls who are unwilling to die! And at this time. These people who died in the fire will crawl out of purgatory, dragging outsiders like Xia En into **** with them. Seeing such a scene, Latiwen''s little face couldn''t help but turn pale. "Why are there so many of them?" Xia En''s expression also became serious. He probably guessed the reason for the undead attack. I think it was because the distance between them and the palace continued to shorten. [Dayan]''s subconscious mind noticed the hidden danger. Therefore, these undead were instinctively driven to attack them. This is a manifestation of [Great Yan]''s malice. In the midst of this chaos, a low and terrifying roar came from the distance, as if it was the roar of an evil spirit coming from the abyss of hell. Benny looked up and couldn''t help but feel his breath hitch. Among the ruins not far away, a monster as huge as a mountain was approaching. It was wrapped in blazing flames, and the flames were also pitch black in color, exuding frighteningly high temperatures. The monster''s figure was blurry and twisted, as if it were made up of constantly tumbling and jumping flames, barely taking on a human form. Look carefully. Inside the blazing flame, there seemed to be a vague outline, like the skeleton of some kind of creature. But it is constantly reshaped and distorted by the power of flames, making it impossible for people to see its true appearance. Seeing this monster, Latiwen couldn''t help but feel a little numb. "Then, what is that?" Xia En''s eyelids couldn''t help but twitch. "Not just the undead, but also the manifestation of this fire?" Moreover, Xia En also noticed it. The aura of this black flame monster has reached the level of legend! To be honest, with the strength of their group, it is not impossible to defeat this monster. But here''s the thing. Around them, there are countless [Great Flame] undead looking at them. If we get into a tough battle with this monster, it means we are completely surrounded by them. Thus being overwhelmed by endless enemies. I''m afraid, this is the conspiracy of [Great Yan]''s will - Use absolute numerical superiority to crush outsiders like Xia En to death. But you can be on the home court of [Great Flame]. Xia En and others could only passively respond to his attack. Like this time. This black flame monster as huge as a hill blocked Xia En and others'' way to the palace. If you face the enemy head-on, you will be besieged by other undead. But if you bypass it, you will undoubtedly waste more time. Realizing this, Jane''s eyes flickered, as if she had made some determination. But just when she was about to speak to Shane. boom! A thunderous bombardment suddenly resounded through the sky. The next moment, in the eyes of everyone. A dazzling and thick beam of light cut through the thick black smoke and red-black sky, falling straight on the black flame monster. After being hit by this shot, the monster''s body felt as if it had been hit hard. It took several steps back, crushed several houses, and almost fell down. Not only that. The secret power of the light pillar still remains in its body, constantly destroying its body. Although it cannot completely kill this black flame monster, it can at least make it incapacitated in a short period of time. "It''s the [God-Destroying Cannon]!" Seeing this scene, Benny couldn''t help but perked up and exclaimed in surprise. He explained to Xia En and others in passing. "The [God-Destroying Cannon] is a powerful weapon developed by the Federation Navy specifically to target those with secret paths above Legend level." "The power is astonishing, and above it is the power of the law that is enough to kill the legend." But soon, Benny looked confused. "But, how come we see the bombardment of the [God-Destroying Cannon] here?" At the same time, Xia En looked towards the direction of the bombardment and couldn''t help but look surprised. (End of chapter) Chapter 399 [Meeting with Gord] [Black Swan] Chapter 399 [Meeting with Gord] [Black Swan] Shane turned to look. I saw the Fanyan City shrouded in raging fire and covered with scorched earth. An area that was extremely separated from its surroundings appeared out of thin air. In that area, there are cold and hard metal shells, steep ship sides, towering ship towers, and decks covered with rust. as well as A huge cannon that Shane had never seen before! The barrel of that giant cannon was extremely slender and its caliber was astonishingly large, as if it could penetrate the stars! At this time, the light of the secret power on its body gradually dimmed, like a silent giant beast, standing tall and ready to go. Under the cold metal shell, there is thunderous power hidden. Obviously, the shelling that severely damaged the black flame monster just now originated from this giant cannon that seemed to exist in science fiction works. That is what Benny calls the [God-Destroying Cannon]! As for the existence of the [God-Destroying Cannon], Xia En would not admit his mistake. That''s... A huge and majestic steel warship! It was the [King] he had seen before! To be precise. That was not the entire [King], but just a part of the bow of the battleship. But the fact that it appeared in the burning Fanyan City was surprising enough. At this moment. The "territory" belonging to the "King" is still expanding, making more and more parts of the ship''s hull come into view of Xia En and others. And with a tough attitude, he broke into this memory scene. That scene was simply like... The [King] broke through the barriers between different memory scenes, as if sailing on the water, and sailed directly into the capital of the [Great Yan Kingdom] that was already covered in flames! Seeing this scene, Benny murmured in shock. "That''s... [King]?" "But why does it appear here?" at the same time. Xia En suddenly woke up. With the destruction of the three nodes of [Great Flame], its internal structure began to lose balance, causing the boundaries of different memory scenes to become blurred. Previously, the chaotic scenes like dreams that Xia En saw on the deck of the "King" were proof. Same thing. Now that other memory scenes have begun to merge into the scenes on the "King". Blending and colliding with each other. Then, [King] itself can break into other scenes created by [Dayan]! Just obviously. [King''s] breaking into [Great Flame] like this is not a coincidence, but the result of human manipulation. And this time. Latiwen pointed in the direction of the [King] and exclaimed. "Look! There seems to be someone else on that ship?" As the area exposed by the [King] becomes larger and larger, everyone can see it. On its deck, there were actually several figures wearing navy uniforms. Like a well-trained federal navy. Moreover, the number is quite large. And saw a figure headed by him. Carles'' face suddenly lit up red, and he said excitedly. "It''s Father!" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised. With his keen eyesight, he could also see that standing at the bow of the "King" was a soldier with extraordinary bearing, slightly tired, but with a straight back. There was stubble on his chin and his eyes were somewhat sunken. It''s like I haven''t been able to rest and freshen up for a long time But even so. There is still an unyielding fighting spirit in the man''s eyes, and he also has a unique leadership temperament. This made him the backbone of many soldiers behind him. Let them not lose confidence and morale even after such a long wait. If I had to say it, his temperament was quite similar to King Xin. Obviously. This handsome middle-aged man is Colonel Gold, whom Shane had previously contacted with the help of a communicator. At this time, seeing that Gord and the crew of the "King" were still alive, Shane couldn''t help but feel a hint of joy on his face. And soon, he realized. The reason why the [King] appears in this burning city is probably because of Colonel Gold''s handiwork! Only this heroic legendary general would make such a crazy and bold decision. at the same time. Gold also noticed Shane and others below. He turned on the communicator and told them. "Captain Shane, we finally meet." Shane responded: "I didn''t expect to see you in this situation." "How did you enter this space?" Gold: "Not long ago, I noticed the vibration in the inner space of [Great Flame]." "This kind of shock has caused the entire structure of [Great Flame] to become unstable, and some of the constraints that previously imprisoned us have disappeared." "We even regained control of the [King] to a certain extent." "And I know that one of the key nodes is located in this burning city." "So I directly controlled the [King] to break in, and I happened to meet you here." "I see" Xia En quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter. But now is obviously not the time to reminisce about the past, he continued. "Now we have confirmed the location of that node, which is in the Great Yan Palace..." Shane wanted to continue saying something. But at this moment. The black flame monster before staggered and roared again from an unknown organ. With a roar. A raging black flame instantly centered on it and swept in all directions. The voice contained endless anger, pain and madness, as if it was going to swallow up everything in the world. Subsequently. The black flame monster turned its head and strode towards the direction of the [King]. Every time its footsteps hit the ground, it would cause a huge earthquake on the ground. Thousands of houses collapsed. Perhaps it was because of the bombardment from the [God-Destroying Cannon] just now. Or maybe the [King] seems to have a bigger target and is more threatening. This black flame monster temporarily gave up its goal of crushing Xia En and others. Instead, the navy on the "King" is regarded as a priority target for destruction. Not only that. The undead souls of [Great Flame] further away in the sea of ??fire were also attracted by such a huge warship and began to rush towards it one after another. Seeing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel his heart sink. It is different from small targets with few people like them. The entire [King] is like a bright target in this bustling city. It will naturally attract attacks from all enemies here. Moreover, it is not difficult to see that the [King] cannot move unscrupulously in this burning city. Even if Gord himself has legendary strength, he is also assisted by a powerful weapon like the [Destroyer Cannon]. Facing such a wave of undead, I''m afraid I won''t be able to persevere. Too long. Gold also realized that he was being surrounded. However, he had already expected this. Not only did Gord not panic, but he smiled heartily. "It seems that our effect in attracting their attention is better than I expected." "These guys really think highly of us." Immediately, Gord''s tone became serious. "Captain Shane, what I want to say is..." "You are not fighting alone." "Not just us, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] outside of [Great Flame] must also be fighting desperately on their battlefield." "Now, it''s up to us to hold these monsters back." "The task of destroying the [Great Flame] node is left to you!" "Father" Hearing this, Carles on the side couldn''t help but look at the deck of the King in the distance with complicated eyes. She knew it. If we were caught in such an encirclement, even with my father''s strength, I might not be able to escape. that is. After finally meeting again after a long separation. But it is very likely that they will say goodbye forever. "Carles." At this moment, Gold softly called her name. This book was recently updated in ##@@@@@@!! Updated! Compared with when communicating with Shane, Gord''s tone was obviously a little gentler, and it was different from the father who was always strict in Carlisle''s impression. "It was so nice to meet you at the end." "Actually, there is something I have always wanted to say to you." "The word [Carles] means a noble and upright platinum flower in my hometown." "You are no longer a machine, but a human being as your name suggests." Hearing this, Carles'' body trembled and he whispered to himself. "I''ve known about that kind of thing for a long time." "But father, please come back alive." Immediately afterwards, Gord said again. "Captain Shane, what I said earlier was my request as a soldier." "But now, it''s my selfishness as a father." "No matter what the final outcome of this mission is, please protect Carles." "I leave my daughter to you." Faced with these almost last words, Xia En responded solemnly without any evasion or hesitation. "I will." As soon as Xia En finished speaking, the communication on the communicator was cut off. He took one last deep look at the [King] in the distance. Then, he turned around and walked towards the deepest part of the city. The [King] behind him was like a rock in the sea of ??fire, constantly being washed away by waves of flames and undead. But will it survive, or will it be quickly swamped by the tide? No one knows. at the same time. On the glacier in [The Far North]. A war that is extremely rare in the entire history of mankind is going on with great vigor. Facing the filthy creatures rushing from all over the [Far North]. The [Far North Expeditionary Force] has already established several lines of defense. Among them, the first line of defense is nothing else. It is an artificial sea of ??ice. Because filthy creatures can emerge from any corner under the glacier. In order to prevent filthy creatures from directly attacking the camp of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] from underground. Moritz ordered that the glaciers surrounding the entire camp be melted, turning it into a sea of ??ice surrounding the camp. And let the priest of the Deep Sea Church apply the blessing of the Storm Goddess to this sea area. Ordinary secret power has extremely limited effect on these filthy creatures. Only with power at the level of gods can they be feared. Of course, it''s just fear. This sea of ??ice, moistened by Storm Girl''s mysterious power, is equivalent to a dirty, smelly ditch for dirty creatures. They may be reluctant to go near the sea because they dislike the "stinky smell" of the place. But if push comes to shove, the filthy monsters can still break in if they endure. Simply put. The secret power contained in the sea water makes it difficult to cause substantial harm to them. But in non-war times, it can serve the purpose of isolating filthy and chaotic creatures. In addition to the purpose of creating an artificial isolation zone, another use of this ice sea is- Concentrate the ships of all forces of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] on this ice sea. on the one hand. These warships were originally a group of quite powerful combat forces. Many captains in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] spent their entire lives on their ships. Arm these ships to the teeth. Leave the ship and fight on the ice. for them. On the contrary, it was an experience I had never had before. It is impossible for the captain and sailors to move the equipment on the ship to the ice sheet. With or without a ship, the combat effectiveness they can exert is completely different. Not only ordinary captains, but also the federal navy. Their powerful ships and guns can only be most effective in this sea area. on the other hand. Gathering ships here is also a message sent by the federal navy to other members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. If it really comes to a last resort. Members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] can also use ships to escape from this ice sea without being trapped and dying on the ice sheet. Of course, this was prepared for the worst. That''s when it really comes. The second great flood is probably a foregone conclusion. How many people in the world can survive is a question. At this moment. A corner of the defense line formed by numerous ships. The [Black Swan] is docked in this area. Compared with the huge warships of the Federal Navy. The size of the Black Swan is not that surprising, and it even looks a bit compact. However, it has an indescribable mysterious temperament about it. Making it look out of place with the other ships. There is some indescribable difference. This made other captains look at him with suspicion. It''s as if... the ship is breathing softly with the ripples of the waves. And beneath that hard shell, a terrifying power seemed to be brewing. On the deck of the [Black Swan]. Joey, who was wearing a blue mage robe, asked Fei Ya who was standing aside. "Do you feel that [Black Swan]''s recent state is a bit strange?" Feiya nodded. "Yes, I feel... it seems to be more restless than usual?" Next to the two of them, Xian Ge, who had transformed into a human girl, said casually. "Isn''t this simple?" "Xiao Hei has not seen Captain Shane for so long, so of course he is a little unhappy." When Joey heard this, he couldn''t help but nodded in agreement. "That certainly seems to be the case." Joey himself was in a similar mood. Although she knew that Xia En''s trip was to save the world. But after not seeing Xia En for such a long time, Joey felt a little lonely. Suddenly, Xian Ge lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously. "Compared to this, have you noticed?" "Both An and Miss Vivian seem to be in a strange state these past few days?" (End of chapter) Chapter 400 [The battle to determine the fate of man Chapter 400 [The battle to determine the fate of mankind] [Black Swan] On the deck. Hearing Xian Ge''s words, Fei Ya nodded and agreed. "Indeed." "Ann and Vivian''s condition is very strange." Before Xia En entered the [Great Flame], Feiya ended her retreat and actively requested to stay on the [Black Swan] to deal with the upcoming decisive battle. In this case now. No matter how crazy the vampires in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are, it is impossible for them to start internal strife at this time. Therefore, Feiya''s stay on the ship will not cause too many problems. Only then did Xia En agree to his request. Compared with before the retreat, Fei Ya''s aura has made great progress. A quick observation revealed that he had suddenly broken through the fifth level barrier. Considering Feiya''s age and training time, she can be regarded as a genius on the Seven Seas. Not only that. Feiya''s appearance has also changed a lot. He seemed to have grown a little taller, and his figure became slender and stronger. The skin became smoother and more delicate, and there was a cold beauty in the paleness, as if it was carved from the finest white jade. The most eye-catching thing is his eyes. There was a touch of gorgeous rose gold in the depths of those eyes, faintly revealing a noble and aloof aura. If the vampires were to see Fei Ya at this time, they would definitely be shocked. Because, this kind of rose-gold eyes is a nobler talent than "burning gold blood". Only vampires with extremely high blood purity can possess it. Even some legendary vampires may not have such characteristics. And this is the result of Fei Ya''s communication with the Blood River during this period. If you add in the blood clan secret skills he has mastered during this period, Fei Ya''s true combat power is actually comparable to that of a sixth-level secret warrior. Of course, on the battlefield of [The Far North]. The combat power of the sixth level is not that powerful. But for Fei Ya herself, it was already a huge improvement. At this time, Fei Ya silently glanced at An on the deck not far away. At this time, An, still wearing the hard and cold armor, stood at the edge of the deck, looking at the endless sea of ??ice in the distance. His armor reflected a faint silver light in the cold sunlight of [the Far North]. Inexplicably, he seemed a little cold. The helmet integrated with the armor hid his face. It''s impossible to know An''s expression and eyes at this time. However, I have been with An for such a long time. Joey and others could more or less sense the silent knight''s mood at this time. And in the past few days when Xia En went to [Great Flame]. Joey and others clearly felt that An''s state was a little strange. He, who was always serious and adhered to the spirit of chivalry, actually got distracted in front of them many times. The specific performance is. Just a second ago, An was communicating with others using pen and paper. The next second, he suddenly froze on the spot. No matter how others called, he didn''t respond. Until half a hour later. An herself only woke up half-asleep, and couldn''t remember what just happened. It''s like sleepwalking. Regarding this situation, Joey and others are inevitably a little worried. On the ship, another person in a strange state is the ghost lady Vivian. Although originally, Vivian had a low presence among the crew because of her lazy personality and ghostly characteristics. But these days. The feeling Vivian gave Joey and the others was no longer as simple as a lack of presence. And it''s like becoming invisible from the [Black Swan]! Even if Joey went to look for her specifically, it would be difficult to find her. Joey even had a feeling. That is Vivian seems to be deliberately avoiding them? Or maybe you''re avoiding one of them? It was clearly at a critical moment when the decisive battle was about to begin, but two crew members were obviously out of shape and even disappeared. Joey, the acting captain, was a little unsure of what to do. Although she was asked by Xia En to guard the [Black Swan]. But Joey is not a real captain after all, and does not have the same prestige as Shane. This means that Vivian and the two cannot be allowed to take the initiative to express their feelings. at this time. Looking at Ann on the deck not far away, Joey''s face became even more worried and he murmured. "Mr. Knight, have you been standing there for a long time?" "What on earth is he thinking about now?" After hearing this, Xian Ge on the side still said very directly. "What''s so confusing about this?" "Just ask Joey directly!" "As long as you ask, An will definitely answer truthfully." Joey thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case, so he simply walked forward and said. "Mr. Knight, what''s happened to you recently?" "Why do you always seem to be absent-minded?" An was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he realized what he was doing and wrote on the cardboard with a charcoal pen. [Miss Joy, what do you want from me? [I was distracted just now and didnt hear what you said clearly. Hearing this, although Joey felt a little weird, he had no choice but to repeat the question just now. Faced with this problem, An hesitated, but quickly wrote on the cardboard. [Actually, I have been seeing some strange sights vaguely recently. [Sometimes it is a vast forest. In the middle of the forest, there stands an unimaginably huge tree. It makes me feel extremely friendly. [Sometimes its on a cold, dead glacier. Only the cold and silent wind keeps me company. Sometimes. [I was walking through a prosperous and lively city, surrounded by people celebrating. [I am in it, but I feel out of place. [I also saw a fire that swept across the country. [Countless people and creatures were buried in this fire, and countless dead souls were also born. As he wrote this, An''s hand holding the pen paused, as if he was in pain from recalling these scenes, but he continued to write. [These scenes are so real. [Its like...those scenes are fragments buried deep in my memory. [This is something I have personally experienced. [So much so that every time I wake up from this scene, I cant tell the difference between reality and illusion. [But...when I started to seriously explore those memories, my mind was empty and I couldn''t recall anything. [It seems that these fragments are just my imagination. At this time, Xian Ge and Fei Ya also gathered around. Looking at the words written by An, they couldn''t help showing surprised expressions. Xian Ge said after thinking. "Your situation is a bit like a symptom of memory being forcibly erased." "The fragments you see are just memory fragments remaining in your body." "It may be that they have been stimulated by some recent factors that have led to their gradual recovery." "If you think about it carefully, at what stage might you have lost your memory?" Don''t look at Xian Ge''s usually unreliable performance. But at critical moments, it can still play an important role. Just like this time. Relying on his relatively profound knowledge, Xian Ge made such a judgment. Hearing this, An couldn''t help but fall into thinking again. To be honest, he always thought his memory was complete. From being picked up by that couple, to being adopted by the family of the Knights of the Round Table, to being used as a tool to exploit the power of misfortune... Finally fell into a long sleep...the meeting with Xia En after waking up... All the memories are deeply etched in his mind. There seems to be no loopholes. But suddenly. Ann realized something. He did have a memory that he could never recall. That''s... There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! Before he gets picked up by that kind couple! An remembered that before they picked her up, she looked about seven or eight years old. And for an elf. This appearance of seven or eight years old may represent a longer period of time. So, what exactly happened to me during this period of time? Are these messy memory fragments related to what happened during this period? Moreover, there is another thing that An has been ignoring or deliberately not thinking about. That is Who are his biological parents? It can also be said that it is. How on earth was his life born in this world? Just as Ann began to think deeply about the problem. He suddenly felt as if his head had been hit with a heavy hammer, and waves of dull pain hit him one after another. Memories are like a mess, fragments of the past and the present are intertwined without logic, and it is impossible to sort them out. Every time Ann tried to grasp clear thoughts, her temples would throb, as if sharp needles were piercing them. Its like His soul is being torn apart by some terrible force! "Uh-huh..." Under the armor, An''s suppressed scream suddenly came out. Although Xian Ge and others could not see his expression, they immediately noticed his strange state. "An? What''s wrong with you, An?" Xian Ge''s face suddenly became very serious, and she asked with concern. At the same time, she invested her spiritual power into An''s body. After carefully sensing for a moment. A strong surprise flashed in Xian Ge''s eyes. "Wait, what''s going on?" "Why is An''s soul incomplete?" "Such a crippled soul should have crippled the mind..." On the side, Joey couldn''t help but look surprised. "The soul is incomplete, is there such a thing?" The importance of the soul to a person is self-evident. It is also the foundation of a mystic. Determines how far people can go on the secret path. But at this time, according to Xian Ge, An''s soul was actually incomplete? So how has he lived till now? Everyone was shocked at the same time. An also gradually recovered from the splitting headache. He shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and at the same time wrote on the cardboard with slightly trembling hands. [It seems that I have indeed lost a very important memory. [However, I remembered something now. perhaps [I met Captain Shane a long time ago. [Moreover, my reunion with him was not a coincidence. Seeing this line of handwriting, Joey couldn''t help but be stunned. "What does this mean?" Perhaps out of female intuition, a special vigilance inexplicably arose in her heart. But before Joey and others could think deeply about the meaning of these words. Diwu A particularly long whistle sounded from the sea not far away, instantly breaking the calm of the surrounding sea. Immediately, the warships on the sea began to sound their horns in unison. The whistles gathered together and resounded throughout the entire ice sea. It''s like the trumpet before the war. The spirits of everyone on the sea were lifted up, and an inexplicable tension and excitement surged throughout their bodies. In this whistle that penetrates the air like a sharp sword. Joey and others turned to look. I saw it at the other end of the ice sea. On the flat and white glacier, a dark wave gradually appeared. It was a dense mass of filthy creatures, approaching quickly like dark clouds. Weird ice crystals, snow-white long hair, slippery tentacles...many weird features seem commonplace in this wave of monsters. They kept making sounds like murmurs, whimpers, and growls from their mouths. Every sound is actually not loud. But when they come together, it becomes overwhelming and deafening. Faintly suppressing the sound of air whistles rising and falling on the sea. Brings a suffocating sense of oppression. Next to the [Black Swan] is the [Dragon] owned by the half-dragon Nana and the leader Lewis. "They are coming!" Nana looked at the waves of filthy creatures in the distance. He murmured softly. Her breathing gradually became rapid, her chest rose and fell slightly, and there was a faint blush on her cheeks. His body was trembling slightly, and he didn''t know whether it was because of fear or excitement. In the face of such a war, without legend, the power of an individual becomes extremely insignificant. Even the absolute backbone of the Seven Seas, the fifth- and sixth-level mystics, may die in this sea at any time. But isn''t the purpose of their coming here to prevent the coming disaster of annihilation and protect the world they live in? In this case, what is there to be afraid of? And on the other side of the [Black Swan]. Daisy''s [Breeze] and Alessio''s [Hanyu] are also ready for battle. The sailors stood ready at their respective posts. Daisy, the sister and brother, looked at each other and could see each other''s uneasiness. But even so, they won''t back down! The two of them looked at the wave of monsters in the distance, with a look of determination in their eyes. Enter the [Black Swan]. Although I am quite concerned about what An wrote. But Joey also knew that this was not the time to delve deeper. The top priority is to concentrate on dealing with the current war that may determine the fate of mankind. So, Joey turned to look at the people behind him and raised his voice. "Captain Shane is away, so I will be the acting captain." "Let us work together...to win this battle!" Everyone responded: "Yes!" at the same time. [Black Swan], in a hidden corner on the deck. Vivian, who was in a ghost state, looked up at the raging wave of monsters in the distance, with a complicated expression in her eyes. she muttered. "The plan has finally reached this point." "Captain Xia En, the time to decide whether you can completely get rid of the fate controlled by [Husi Ming] and save the world is coming soon..." (End of chapter) Chapter 401 【The king will take charge! The king wil Chapter 401 [The king will take responsibility! The king will bear it! at the same time. Another battlefield in [The Far North]. The [Great Flame] palace was engulfed in fire. In the main hall. The once strong and magnificent palace walls are constantly collapsing under the flames. The gorgeous decorations on it melted bit by bit. Like a red wax torch. It''s like the blood and tears shed in this palace. The king wearing a crown and a cloak was sitting alone on the throne in the center of the hall. The throne was made of cold steel, and its cold metallic luster still reflected in the blazing fire. The back of the chair is engraved with complex patterns, with teeth and claws showing, as if guarding the king who has become a loner. King Xin sat on the throne, leaning slightly on the armrests with his arms, looking calmly in front of him. No one can understand the emotion in his deep eyes at this time. This situation. Just like the scene presented in Mo Yan''s previous light curtain. It''s also like the illusion that Xia En witnessed when he obtained the [Salary King''s Certificate] for the first time. It''s obvious. That was not an illusion, but a scene that actually happened in history. Through the power of [Shin King''s Certificate], it was projected into Xia En''s mind at that time. Tread...tread... Just then. A slow and difficult footsteps suddenly sounded in the burning palace. A man with black flames wrapped around his body and burns all over his body staggered into the hall. "king" The man raised his head, revealing a face that had been half burned by the flames. Surprisingly, it is the highly respected Mo Yan among the [Black Flame Walkers]! It''s just that at this time, he was no longer as calm and stable as usual, but looked dazed, with strong disbelief, pain and despair in his eyes. Mo Yan raised his head, looked at King Xin on the throne, and said hoarsely with a voice that was almost burned. "King, did you start this fire?" King Xin gave him a slightly surprised look. "Obviously I have given you hints not to let you get close to the palace, but in the end, you still found this place?" "Thank you for your hard work..." "Answer my question!" In response, Mo Yan roared hoarsely, interrupting King Xin''s words. His eyes were red and his eyes were extremely angry. He was waiting for an answer, an answer he didn''t want to know but needed to know. Facing Mo Yan''s gaze, King Xin did not escape, but nodded. "Yes, I did it." Upon hearing this answer, Mo Yan''s body felt as if he was struck by lightning. He trembled violently twice and half-knelt down as if he had lost his soul. For loyal [Black Flame Walkers] like them. King Xin is like the sun in the sky, an absolutely correct existence, and the king who leads the [Great Yan Kingdom] to prosperity. But at this time. What King Xin did was undoubtedly a betrayal of all [Black Flame Walkers] and even [Great Yan Kingdom]! This kind of blow can destroy a person''s spirit in an instant. This also caused Mo Yan, who was already seriously injured from walking through the sea of ??fire, to further worsen his injuries and his breath became weaker and weaker. But even so, he still had one last question to ask. Mo Yan asked tremblingly: "Why?" "Why are you doing this?" Looking at the desperate and dying Mo Yan in front of him, King Xin sighed faintly. "The reason doesn''t matter." "You only need to know that it was me who burned down [Great Yan Kingdom], and it was me who dragged this kingdom into the **** of fire." "I will bear all the blame and cause and effect." "Hate me and be hostile to me as much as you want, and then find a merciful rest." Hearing this, Mo Yan stared at King Xin with blood and tears gradually flowing from his eyes. And the blood was quickly evaporated due to the high temperature in the palace. Two bright red marks were left on the severely burned face, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying. Like a ghost crawling out of purgatory. Mo Yan tried his best and said with his last strength. "Xin! I will take revenge on you!" "Even if you turn into an undead, I will never let you go!" After saying this, Mo Yan maintained this posture, completely losing his vitality. It was like turning into a blackened sculpture. Only the hatred in his eyes seemed to never dissipate. Witnessing the death of his once most loyal subordinate. A hint of imperceptible regret flashed in King Xin''s eyes. But soon, he kept this emotion deep in his heart. Then, King Xin waved his hand gently towards Mo Yan''s body. A ball of flame ignited the corpse, and then turned into a pitch-black ashes in an instant. King Xin reached out to grab the ashes again from afar, and solemnly put them into a small box and placed them beside the throne. he said softly. "Mo Yan, rest in peace." "I hope... you can live in a better country in the next life." "I hope... you won''t meet an incompetent king like me again." "Pa bang bang..." Just when King Xin was mourning for Mo Yan. Several crisp claps suddenly sounded in the palace, interrupting his thoughts. "Haha, what a touching scene." "The king of a country not only didn''t care about the hatred and hatred of his men, but also personally collected his corpse." "How many people in this [Great Yan Kingdom] can have the same treatment as him?" Not far away, the sound came from something strange and sinister. With a hint of playful sarcasm, it was unpleasant to listen to. "It''s just that if this [Black Flame Walker] knew about this, I''m afraid... instead of expressing gratitude to you, he would actually scold you for your hypocrisy, right?" "Oh, right." "Isn''t there only one [Black Flame Walker] who would do this?" "After learning the truth, all the [Black Flame Walkers], and even all the people of the [Great Yan Kingdom] will hate you!" At this point, the voice paused and said regretfully. "But these miserable fools don''t know that." "You are actually doing this to save them." "The misunderstood king... is doomed to a tragic ending..." "Such a story is so regrettable, aren''t you right? Salary King?" King Xin turned his head. I saw walking in the hall, a man with a single-sided glasses and a rational temperament with a hint of madness. It is the so-called [Undertaker] and [Observer]. In other words, it''s Joey''s father Edward! certainly. King Xin in this memory scene does not know Edward, let alone his identity. However, King Xin saw a familiar temperament in the other party. That was the temperament of the [Omniscient Sage] he had seen before. So King Xin frowned and asked. "Who are you?" "Why are you here?" Edward replied. "I am a [mourner] of civilization and an [observer] of history." "And I came here to make a deal with you." "trade?" Hearing this, King Xin sneered. Isnt it because of a deal with the [Omniscient Sage] that the reason why my [Great Yan Kingdom] and I are like this is? "Although I don''t know you, I have already guessed that you and that guy are actually traveling together." "Do you think I will still believe your words?" Edward chuckled. "I knew you would react like this, King Xin." "But please believe that this time we come with sincerity." "First of all, the first sincerity." "Please let me reveal to you...the truth of your world!" As he spoke, Edward tapped his fingertips lightly in the air. Images appeared in the air in front of King Xin. Those are the pictures of various memory scenes inside [Great Flame]. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! Even every scene is constantly changing. And one of the pictures is clearly the scene of the King sailing into Fanyan City. Seeing that majestic steel giant, even King Xin couldn''t help but change his expression slightly. "That ship is..." He can be sure that in his own time. Such a huge steel battleship has never been born. The ship has advanced turrets, an unprecedented hull structure, and a unique star wave logo. All of them illustrate the characteristics of this ship that span the ages. It''s like... it''s a creation from the future! Edward explained as if he noticed King Xin''s gaze. "The ship''s name is the King." "As you can imagine, it''s a warship of the future." "In other words, the area you are in now is a reflection of history for us." King Xin has never been a stupid person, even if he was just created by [Great Yan], with the help of the information given by Edward and these chaotic memory scenes, he instantly realized the truth of the matter. "So that''s it." "No wonder I always felt like something was wrong." King Xin muttered to himself. "It''s not just what happens here." "Am I just a fake created by myself?" "Correct answer." Edward snapped his fingers and replied with a smile. "But because of this, it is possible for you to achieve a dream that even a real salary king cannot realize." "That''s" "Reshape [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "Return to the [Great Yan Kingdom] where the great flood will not come, the fire will not happen, everything will be peaceful and peaceful, and the country will continue to prosper!" "Reshape [Great Yan Kingdom]?" King Xin muttered this sentence again, and the look on his face became a little dark and unclear. If he could, how could he burn down Fanyan City and the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] with his own hands. If he could, how could he be willing to witness countless people dying unwillingly in the flames? If possible, why would he want to see the desperate, hateful, and angry eyes of his subordinates who once trusted him? Everything is due to helplessness and forcedness. But now. But such a "what if" really appeared in front of King Xin. Its allure can be imagined. King Xin looked at Edward deeply and said. "So, what exactly do you mean by the deal?" Hearing this, Edward couldn''t help but have a satisfied smile on his face. "The deal is simple." "That is, assist us in wiping out all outsiders who break into this memory scene." "In exchange, we will recreate a real [Great Yan Kingdom] for you." "And you will become the king of that country again and live happily and peacefully with your own people." King Xin raised his eyebrows. "Is that all?" "I think...it''s not that simple, right?" Edward still had that weird smile on his face and said with a smile. "As expected of the Salary King, he discovered the flaw in my words so quickly." "If you want to become the new king of [Great Yan Kingdom], there is naturally a prerequisite." "That''s it..." "Kill the real salary king in reality." "In this way, those [Black Flame Walkers] will only regard you as the unique king." Hearing this, a hint of sarcasm appeared in King Xin''s eyes. "You mean, let me, the fake thing you created, kill the real me?" Edward nodded. "Exactly." "If you feel uneasy, we can also sign a contract witnessed by [Secret Sea]." With that said, Edward took out a contract made of extremely unique material and walked towards King Xin. "A contract witnessed by [Secret Sea] is equivalent to being recognized by [Great Law]." "That is a law that even gods cannot break." "Oh, by the way, King Xin, you should know the existence of the [Great Law], right?" Just listen to Edward''s words. The deal he prepared seemed indeed sincere. It can be said that we have made sufficient preparations early. Including deliberately finding the salary king in this memory scene at this point in time. It''s also part of the plan. Edward wanted to take advantage of the salary king''s most vulnerable moment to sign this contract. Or rather. He just wanted to force King Xin to go to the extreme of becoming a black man. And at the moment King Xin stretched out his hand and was about to take the contract. His palm suddenly burst into flames, and he slapped Edward''s chest brazenly. This sneak attack came without warning. And it''s incredibly fast. A direct hit on Edward''s body. A "chi" sound. The terrible flames quickly spread from Edward''s clothes to his whole body. It enveloped his body like a tidal wave. Just a few breaths. Edward''s body completely melted away and turned into a pile of charcoal. However, King Xin did not relax. Instead, he turned his head and looked in another direction in the palace. There, Edward, who should have been burned to ashes, reappeared in front of him. at this time. Edward suppressed the smile on his face, and his expression became cold and ruthless, like an absolutely rational machine. He said coldly. "Sure enough, the analysis of the data shows that the probability that you will agree to sign the contract is less than 30%." "But a 30% probability is enough for me to make this attempt." "However, I really can''t understand..." "Why did you reject me?" "Isn''t it the dream of you and other [Black Flame Walkers] to rebuild the [Great Flame] of the past?" King Xin shook his head: "Why are there so many?" "If I have to say it, it''s just because..." "I am the salary king of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "Whether it''s sin or resentment, it''s all mine, I''ll bear it!" Before he finished speaking, King Xin''s body turned into fire and suddenly attacked Edward. (End of chapter) Chapter 402 [The King of Pirates] vs [Said King] Chapter 402 [The King of Pirates] vs [Said King] In the palace that is being fired into the coke. As the salary king took the lead, a war kicked off. Faced with the "future", mysterious and unknown enemies, the salary king naturally did not dare to have any contempt. Like the flames of the living body, the flames were wrapped around him, jumping and dancing constantly, distorting the surrounding air. The hot high temperature even melted the ground under his feet. But the crown and cloak of the salary king, but no wound in the flame. That''s because both of them are some special relics, which are created specifically for his fighting. Suddenly. The salary king''s body was rolling, like a burning meteor towards Edward. Where the flame passed, the air was ignited, leaving a distorted trace. Seeing this, Edward had no waves, like a cold mechanical, naturally there would be no emotional fluctuations. In his eyes, a blue light flashed. Countless information flows in it, analyzing the attack of the salary king, and predicting his next operation. Next moment. Edward''s body did not retreat. A faint blue light beam shot directly from his eyes. Falling in the weak position in the salary Wang Fan, the momentum of his rushing forward Immediately, Edward took out a light sword with a strange light in his hands and cut it directly to the head of the salary king. At the same time, he did not forget to say. "It''s just a pseudo -shaped pseudo." "Also treat yourself as a real salary king?" His taunt at this time was not just for ridicule. It is a means of attack. It is hoped that in these words to break the heart of the salary king, so that he will have more flaws in the battle. Language can sometimes become a weapon. This is even more so in their levels of war. However, even the salary king created by [Da Yan] also has the same belief. Hearing Edward''s words. While he condensed the flames in his hand, he chopped the light sword in the opponent''s hands and laughed. "What about a pseudo?" "As long as I think I am the salary king, then I am the king of salary." "Besides, if my body is here, do you dare to talk to me like this?" "I''m afraid that if you don''t have three tricks, you can kill you completely?" [Da Yan] Although the re -engraved king is far stronger than the general legendary secret, it is obviously impossible to have his strength in his heyday. At this time, he only touched the eighth level. In fact, this is also the upper limit of the strength of the strong man in [Da Yan]. However, the breath of Edward is just the seventh -order legend. If you encounter the body of the salary king, the battle will indeed end quickly. Speaking. The long sword composed of flames collided with Edward''s light sword. On the surface, it was a collision between two blade. In fact, it has touched the confrontation between the field and the rules. One side is the law of flames that ignite everything. The other party is a special rule of analyzing all things and using massive information to crack offensive. These two are essentially strong and weak. The degree of understanding and mastery of law users is the key to determining the victory. Just a short moment. Two forces are constantly confronting, collision, and entanglement. It seems like two monsters that beyond common sense are tearing and swallowing each other''s flesh. Only the one with stronger endurance and stronger foundation can achieve the final victory. The two blades were divided immediately, and almost annihilated at the same time. Whether it was Edward or the king of salary, his face appeared for a moment of pale, and his body retreated for dozens of meters. On Edward''s clothes, there was a touch of scorching black. Although the traces of ignited were quickly disappeared. But it can also be proved that in the confrontation of the party, he actually took advantage of it slightly. Edward looked down at his corner, and his stiff face became colder. "I can''t understand." "Whether it is you, or the real salary king, why can''t we let go of the so -called emotion and morality, and look at the problem from a more rational perspective?" "Do you think that you and your [Dayan Kingdom] have made such a great sacrifice, will people in the world be grateful for what you do? "Big wrong!" "Later people did not even remember the existence of [Da Yan] in this country, let alone the sacrifice you once made to save the world." "They will be secretly proud of themselves in their hearts." "Look, the country of the blood flowing sinful people finally perish!" Edward stared at the salary king coldly, and said in a very ironic tone. "And, not only people of other kingdoms." "Even the people of [Dayan Kingdom], your most loyal [Black Yanxian] ..." "After learning the truth, he is also determined to be the enemy of you. He has become the rebels of your men. So far, he is also avenging you." "Do you think it''s really worth it?" Each of Edward can be described as a heart. Like a sharp arrow, the most vulnerable place to the salary king. Just about this. The expression of the salary was particularly calm. He shook his head calmly and said. "You''re wrong." "The reason why I make such a decision is not because of any emotion and morality." "It''s just because ... I want to do this!" "The so -called strong is to be able to implement the existence of its own will." "And use my will to transform this world and shape my own rules. This is a real reflection." "As for the views of others, the gratitude of the latecomers, the setbacks encountered along the way, it is actually not important at all." "But I think, maybe you can''t understand this life, right?" While saying this. In the eyes of Edward, the salary king brought a trace of mercy. "Now, I can be sure." "Compared to me, you are a pitiful and sad existence." "Not only your memory, your character, your body ..." "Even your existence itself, I''m afraid it''s just a tool made by people." "I can still act according to my own will, and where do you still have your own will?" "A tool, how can you understand the feelings you should have?" Hearing this, Edward, who had never changed color before, finally appeared a strong emotional fluctuation. It''s like ... The faint compassion in the eyes of the salary king brings a bigger harm than the previous fight. "What do you know?" Edward''s words seemed to be squeezed out of the teeth. "I wanted to persuade you again." "But now it seems that you are more stubborn than I think." "In this case, then I have to use violence to forcibly control your node." It is not difficult to hear from Edward''s words. The salary king in front of him is the same as the salary king of the scene of "big wedding". It is the core node of the entire memory scene. And now. His true purpose is to control the node of [Da Yan] with some special means. As for what I want to do after Edward''s control nodes, it is only the members of the [Truth Council]. And the words are just behind. The salary king suddenly turned his head and looked at another direction of the palace. "Come out, B1." With Edward''s light drink, a figure gradually came out of the shadow of the palace. His body was tall and burly, and his wide shoulders seemed to support the entire ocean. A face full of wind and frost is engraved with traces of years and scars left by countless battles. The chin was slightly white beard. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Those deep eyes seem to be able to span the time and reveal the mysterious depth. But he didn''t see his personal will. Just like a puppet controlled by the line. If you look closely, you can find that the middle -aged man has a temperament similar to the salary king. That''s the majesty of the king! When he saw the other party, the salary king could not help but shrink his pupil and whispered. "The King of Pirates, Augustine?" Yes. The man who appeared in [Da Yan], known as B1, was not someone else, it was the replication body of Augustine. only. It can''t be seen from his appearance. This B1 is different from the previous B5, and he is not even younger. Instead, the prosperous Augustine, which is at its peak! Even the majestic face was generally the same as the portrait in the paid king. At the moment he saw him. The salary king immediately raised an extreme vigilance. Unlike the weird and mysterious Edward. The first feeling of this Augustine to the salary king is like a vast sea. A breath can almost be described as unpredictable. It makes people feel uneasy. That is the two breaths. The salary king quickly noticed the truth of the Augustine and asked Edward on the side. "He''s too ... the tool you made?" Edward laughed: "Yes." "And you guess, since we have the technology of re -engraving Augustine." "Who will we copy the next copy?" When he heard this, the widow''s eyes suddenly burned an angry flame. Wherever the sight, the air seemed to be ignited, making the sound of "Zi Zi". The hot light seemed to burn everything around. "Actually in this way to blame the past ..." "It seems that you and your organization are really a group of dead scum!" Edward responded: "Whether it is **** or anything else." "We are likely to board the ship to the new world." "And the old people of you in the old age can only be drowned with this world!" The moment when the voice falls. Edward and Augustine B1 immediately strangled in the direction of the salary king. Edward once again took out a faint blue light sword, and countless runes were jumping up, exuding a fatal breath. In the hands of Augustine, a huge sword carved with dark blue lines appeared. It exudes a vast atmosphere of the sea. It is the legendary sword [Wang Yang]! only. This [Wang Yang] is not the existence that B5 has reappeared with the help of the secret force. It is the big sword held by Augustine. [Truth] I do nt know when it stole the inheritance belonging to Augustine, from it to get this big sword, and use it to use it with B1. And when the weapon was picked up by Augustine again, an extremely terrible power broke out in an instant. The air around the surroundings trembled. He slowly pulled his sword, and a stream of sword rushed to his face, as if the cold and mystery in the depths of the sea. Next moment. The sword breeze whistled, like the wind on the sea. Suddenly, there was a huge wave like a tsunami, and it was overwhelming towards the paid king. The magnificent waves occupy the entire horizons in front of you. The salary king''s eyes condensed, took a deep breath, the body was completely converted into a flame, turning into a flame giant, and collided with the unreal wave in front of him. "Small". Those seawater, which should have been illusory, was quickly evaporated under his flames and turned into a white mist. In a moment. The entire palace seems to be divided into two areas. One side is the burning, hot and hot sea of ??fire. The other side is the vast and deep, hectares of the ocean. Two different and clear sea areas are constantly swallowing each other to occupy the dominance. The waves composed of flames and seawater shoot back and forth. For a while, no one could be. Only the white steam continued to rise in the entire hall, making the lobby that became fragile under the fire, and further crumbling. Don''t forget. In the battlefield, Edward was watching the salary king. The blue light in his eyes continued to flash. With unclear data collection and analysis, he is looking for the most fatal weakness in the state of salary king. And soon. Under the restraint of Augustine. A clear node is in his eyes. "I found you." Edward raised a smile on the corner of his mouth. Later, he was like a ghost, as if the space flickered, appearing in the corner of the sea of ??fire. But when the light sword was about to pierce the node in his hands. A figure appeared in front of him out of thin air. The sound of "Dang"! Edward''s light sword was blocked by a dark and deep, like shadow. A complicated voice sounded. "Finally met again, Edward." Edward looked intently. What appeared in front of him was a little red figure that was wrapped in white golden armor and the face armor was reflected. "Who are you?" Ace in Edward''s eyes flashed, but in a blink of an eye, he judged the identity of the comer. "[Black Swan] Captain, Xia En?" "And Gold''s daughter, [Platinum Cavaliers] Carlles?" "But have you ever seen me?" For Edward, Xia En in front of him should be a very strange person. I do not know why, he felt an indescribable familiarity ... (This chapter is finished) Chapter 403 【Xia En】 VS 【Edward】 Chapter 403 [Xia En] VS [Edward] At this moment. Some vague memories appeared in Edward''s mind. But it''s just a breather. There seemed to be a will that pressed the delete button deep in his memory. Clear your mind of those unnecessary emotions and thoughts. All that remains is a clear and unambiguous purpose. That is... Destroy all the people in front of you without leaving any one behind! So the next moment, Edward''s eyes became extremely cold and sharp. at the same time. The lightsaber in his hand slashed towards Xia En without any explanation. That posture clearly meant that he wanted to cut off his head with a single sword strike. Naturally, Xia En would not sit still and wait for death. He raised his arm and faced him again with the pitch black sword in his hand. This jet-black long sword just looks like a sword. Actually. It is an extension of the realm of Shane [Great Dark Sky]. Just like the pitch black armor before. -In a battle at the legendary level, directly opening the field to fight will not only waste the secret power, but may even fall into a disadvantage because the density is far lower than that of the legendary powerhouse. Therefore, Xia En simply concentrated a little bit, extremely concentrated the [Great Dark Sky], and might even be able to use it to break through the surface. So, when the two sides collided together. The long black sword did not fall apart as Edward expected, but was directly disintegrated by the unique secret power that analyzes all things. But it was extremely incredible to withstand the attack. Only a tiny gap was left where the sword blades met. "How is that possible?" Suddenly, Edward felt a strong sense of disbelief in his heart. It was only reasonable that King Xin could block his lightsaber. After all, there is a certain gap between the ranks of the two sides. This didn''t surprise Edward. But at this time. Neither Shane nor Carles in front of them has reached the level of legend. Just two sixth-order ants. But it happened that these two people blocked a sword from a legend who was close to the eighth level? Even, more than once? Edward''s fighting style relied too much on the information he collected. Therefore, when encountering a situation that is beyond common sense and not within the scope of his database records, he will be more surprised than ordinary people. Just like The machine encounters a bug it has never encountered before, causing downtime. However, Edward retained some human qualities after all. After a brief surprise. He said coldly: "If you are not a legend, you are still an ant." "Do you two even want to defeat me?" Before he finished speaking, Edward slashed out his lightsaber again. But this time, the moment the sword blade struck out, it split into thousands of phantoms, overwhelmingly falling towards Xia En. Every sword light seems false, but it is real. and. Their angles and orientations all seemed to have been carefully calculated, sealing off every space around Xia En. Shane had a feeling. No matter which way he goes, he will be attacked by thousands of sword lights at the same time. In other words, this attack can only be resisted forcefully? Seeing this, Xia En''s expression suddenly became extremely serious. After the previous confrontation, he was able to roughly deduce The power of law that Edward masters is probably analysis! parse. As the name suggests, it means cracking and analyzing. Edward can rely on the information he collects to find fatal flaws in enemies and foreign objects. And give a fatal blow at the critical moment. This ability is actually similar to Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. They can directly see through the core weaknesses. only. Edward''s analysis relies on the analysis of massive data. Xia En, on the other hand, has to find and eliminate from the chaotic dots and lines. On the other hand. For some ordinary things, Edward''s analytical power can even break them down in a very short time. It can instantly destroy large objects or solid defense facilities, and it can also cause fatal damage to living creatures and directly decompose their body tissues. certainly. Such as Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky], King Xin''s Flame... Edward may not be indestructible. But the prerequisite for decomposition is to collect enough information. It''s like an AI software or intelligent algorithm that wants to achieve the goals expected by the designer. It is necessary to debug through a large amount of data. In the final analysis, the two are actually the same principle. This means. As the battle with Edward lasts longer and the more information he collects, it becomes easier for Shane to fall into a disadvantage and be defeated. And at this time. Facing the sword light coming from all directions, a reliable voice suddenly sounded in Xia En''s ears. "Captain Shane, leave it to me." Hearing this voice, Xia En was determined. Out of his trust in her, Xia En didn''t hesitate at all. He actually ignored the sword light around him and rushed straight towards Edward''s direction without dodging or avoiding it. "Ha... you are seeking death!" Seeing this scene, Edward''s lips curved into a sneer. Ignoring such an attack would definitely be the worst decision the enemy could make. Every time the lightsaber touches it, Edward can also intercept part of the information from the opponent. Even with Xia En''s physical strength, he was so strong that he could withstand such a sword light storm without dying. But after this. Shane will have no secrets in front of Edward. All his flaws and loopholes will be clearly revealed in Edward''s eyes. By then. Edward wanted to kill him, but it was just a matter of breathing. But just as Edward had these thoughts. A layer of armor composed of runes suddenly appeared on the surface of Xia En''s body. Countless mysterious runes appeared on it, shining with a magnificent halo, flowing like life. You can spot it if you look closely. Each character contains a huge amount of information and knowledge. This knowledge is like the books stored in the great federal library When they are stored in books in the form of words, they are not harmful. But when they actually materialize. The depth of knowledge is clearly displayed in front of people. clang! clang! clang! clang! clang! Muffled sounds, like a gust of wind and rain, sounded one after another on the rune armor. But those seemingly sharp sword lights were still unable to penetrate its defense, let alone hurt Shane and Carles under the armor. "This is?" Edward''s expression suddenly changed slightly. How could he not be familiar with this secret art that uses knowledge as a weapon? Isnt this exactly what they [the Truth Society] do? Then, out of the corner of his eyes, Edward looked in another direction in the palace. There. An old woman with silver hair and slightly pointed ears was raising her cane and looking at him without fear. There was wisdom accumulated over time in those eyes. Even Edward didn''t dare to take it lightly. After a brief comparison, Edward retrieved the old woman''s information from his memory bank. "Traitors of the [Truth Society]..." "The former truth number NO.008, Mrs. Serenity?" "I didn''t expect...this long-missing [Truth Society] scholar to be involved in the operation." Immediately afterwards. Edward looked behind Jane and saw Deep Sea Priest William, Hui Cult Priest La Tiwen, and Federal Officer Benny. And... Princess Yan Bing An Bing! All the surviving members of the infiltration plan appeared in this palace. Not long ago. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! Under the cover of the [King] and Colonel Gold. Xia En and others successfully escaped the pursuit of the undead and entered the Great Yan Palace. After discovering that Edward and the created Augustine B1 were attacking King Xin, they decisively joined the battle. It was with the help of Jane''s secret teleportation technique that Shane blocked Edward''s attack at the critical moment. at this time. Although William and others were shaken by the battle between Augustine and King Xin, they were shocked by the supreme power of the two kings. But they all also knew that it was a battle that they could not intervene in. And what they can do now is naturally to work together to kill the evil-minded Edward in front of them! Edward''s eyes flickered, and he judged the current situation in an instant. But he didn''t show the slightest fear. The reason is simple. All members of the infiltration operation, including Xia En, are only sixth-level mystics. There isnt even a single breakthrough legend. And he himself does have nearly eight levels of strength. How can such a huge gap in realm be made up by quantity alone? Edward turned his eyes and looked back at Xia En, who was wearing platinum and rune armor, with a strong murderous intent flashing in his eyes. In his opinion. Among these action members, only Xia En can pose some threat to him. Therefore, Edward regards Shane as the primary target for elimination. Then, a faint blue light lit up in his eyes The secret power that had previously fallen on the rune armor began to be recovered again. Although the thousands of sword lights were blocked by this armor, it did not prevent Edward from collecting Xia En''s information. Just when his secret power returns. The information it carried made Edward slightly stunned. because That is not Xia En''s own data and information, but a large piece of unrelated knowledge! For example. "Postpartum Care for Sea Beasts" "Transmission and Simulation of Steam Machinery" "Federal Advanced Mathematics (Refined Solution "On the Application of Architecture in Island Planning" All kinds of strange and varied knowledge were transmitted to his mind from those secret powers. certainly. It''s not that this knowledge is useless, but Edward never expected to receive such knowledge in a battle. Just for a moment. Edward realized the reason behind this. He looked at the flashing runes on the armor and immediately understood Jane''s intention. There is no doubt about it. Jane knew that Edward had the ability to collect all aspects of the opponent''s information and find loopholes in battle. And at this moment. Jane took advantage of Edward''s ability to collect information and instilled this messy knowledge into his mind. This way. Edward''s cracking rules will be greatly hindered if he wants to continue to crack Shane''s information. Its equivalent to Contaminated Edward''s database with this knowledge. Just clear this knowledge out. It would cost him a lot of effort. Not to mention. At this time, Jane retained more than just a little knowledge on these runes. Instead, she was instilled with the vast amount of knowledge that she had read in the Federation Library for hundreds of years. Even among them, there is a lot of extremely dangerous taboo knowledge. If general knowledge is like sea water, it can only fill Edward''s mind in quantity. So. Forbidden knowledge is like a steel needle hidden in these waters, piercing the weaker places of the spirit. A piece or two of knowledge alone may not be able to do any harm to Edward. But when they pierced Edward''s mind again and again. It will eventually have some impact on his rationality. Especially in. Edward''s mental state is different from that of ordinary people. To know. As Joey''s father, the reason why Edward becomes what he is now is entirely due to the transformation of the [Truth Society]. His memory and personality were modified by the [Truth Society], and even his personality became incomplete. If you are stimulated by taboo knowledge again. No one knows what will happen to his spirit? It can be said. This is actually an "information war" between Jane and Edward. As the information poured in, many chaotic and fragmented memory fragments appeared in his mind. Those memories made him feel uneasy and panic for no reason. Edward understood that he was afraid of...really recalling those memories! "You guy..." Edward endured the dull pain in his mind and looked at Jane not far away. At this point, he changed his mind. Among this group of people, the person he fears the most has become a traitor to the [Truth Society]! But that''s it. Xia En had already arrived in front of Edward with the force of wind and thunder. The black sword composed of [Great Dark Sky] seems to absorb all the surrounding light and hide it in the shadow of the air. Combined with Shane''s own ever-improving physical fitness, coupled with the power brought by Carles Steam Core. The power of this sword. It can only be described as horrifying! It directly tore the space apart and roared forward. Wherever the black sword went, it left a dark crack in the air, leading nowhere. Although Edward was dizzy from the overwhelming amount of knowledge, his reaction became a little slow. But his true rank and strength are higher than Xia En''s after all. Facing Xia En''s attack, Edward snorted coldly, and a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from his eyes. Shane sensed a fatal crisis from this beam of light. I''m afraid even the armor created by Jane can''t block it. He forcibly changed his body movements and turned slightly sideways to avoid the beam. The seemingly slender beam of light fell on a wall in the palace hall. All of a sudden. The large wall actually decomposed into countless tiny particles in an instant and completely dissipated in the air. A huge gap appeared in the entire palace. Rumble This royal palace that had stood firm since the founding of the [Great Yan Kingdom] actually collapsed! (End of chapter) Chapter 404 The salary king lost, the vitality in th Chapter 404 King Xin is defeated, hope in desperate situation! With an earth-shattering bang. The already crumbling palace began to completely collapse. Cracks quickly spread across the palace walls. Like a torn painting. The originally tall and majestic dome was now shattered like a broken eggshell, with large slabs of stone hitting the ground. Then, the entire palace collapsed downwards. but. Neither Edward nor Xia En cared about the collapsed buildings around them, and only regarded the other party as a target that must be killed. boom! There was a loud noise, and the two swords collided without reservation. A ripple of secret power visible to the naked eye centered on the collision point and spread crazily in all directions. The [Secret Power of the Void] and the Law of Analysis are competing at a more microscopic level. [Void Secret Power] has the ability to assimilate and swallow other secret powers. The analytical law is to decipher the attributes and characteristics of the mysterious power of the void while in contact with it. Two distinct secret powers, but with something in common, continue to collide as the two fight against each other again and again. The aftermath caused the falling stones that were close to them to turn into powder. No remains of the palace could reach the two of them. but. Strictly speaking. In the confrontation between the two secret powers, Xia En''s secret power of the void was actually slightly inferior. after all. The gap in rank lies here. Even with the help of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets], Xia En vaguely glimpsed a corner of the [Great Law] and thus mastered part of the power of the law. But he never broke through to the legendary realm. The secret power has not yet completed its final sublimation and transformation. In the confrontation with Edward, it was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage by one or two points. but. Shane also has his own advantages. That is...he is not fighting alone! By Shane''s side, there is Carles who provides him with surging motivation. This made his already abnormal physical quality improve again. Only then did he have the capital to compete with the legend. And not far away. Jane has also been using her "information warfare" tactics to output pieces of filthy taboo knowledge to Edward. It''s equivalent to constantly attacking him mentally. It caused waves of tingling pain in Edward''s mind, and the application of the analytical rules was not smooth. other side. William and Latiwen each used their own secret techniques in an attempt to bring some support to Xia En. On the way, William''s injuries had been mostly healed by Latiwen, and they no longer affected his normal actions. at this time. William murmured obscure spells in a low voice. A deep light appeared in the depths of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, several dark and thick tentacles twisted out from his shadow. These tentacles are covered with strange lines, like ancient and evil runes flowing on them. The tips of the tentacles shone with a strange light, like strange eyes spying on prey. Immediately, the deep tentacles struck Edward''s back silently. at the same time. Latiwen''s young face was full of solemnity, as if there was a holy radiance gradually seeping out of his body. His hands were like agile birds, dancing rapidly in the air, weaving complex and mysterious light patterns. Holy and blazing light then lit up, surrounding him like a rising sun. Immediately afterwards. The light gathering around him became more and more dazzling, as if countless stars were condensed here. Latiwen herself is just an ordinary person. Just because of the characteristics of the [Glow Container], she obtained a massive amount of radiant secret power from the Lord of Glory. And now. He believes that now is the time to fully unleash this power! Under Latiwen''s unreserved promotion, the power of this brilliance even reached the level of legend. The next moment. Lativan shouted loudly. The sound resounded like a bell, and the light gathered in his hand rushed towards Edward like a torrent. Whether it is William or Latiwen, the power they use comes from the gods they believe in. Contains part of the power of the gods. In terms of the level of secret power alone, it is not inferior to Edward. So, facing the attack from both of them. Even Edward can''t ignore it easily. A "chi" sound. An invisible and qualityless decomposition force field was formed on Edward''s body, trying to decompose all the secret power that came close to him. Several pitch-black tentacles were broken into countless tiny particles before they could touch Edward''s body. And the torrent of brilliance shot by Latiwen was temporarily blocked by this protective shield. However, this does not mean that William and his attacks are useless. Their offensive did divert some of Edward''s attention. There is even some profound and mysterious power that has penetrated into this protective shield! Just at this moment. A special "dot" suddenly appeared in Xia En''s [[Eye of Peeping Secrets]]. He judged by intuition that this "point" was most likely Edward''s fatal flaw at this moment! But it is different from the key points found through search and troubleshooting in the past. The emergence of this "point" was due to Jane, Latiwen, William... and even the collapse of this palace. The combination of various factors caused Edward to reveal such flaws at this moment. And such an opportunity is undoubtedly fleeting! Therefore, Xia En did not hesitate to use the "double ship soul", "storm power", Carles'' power...all the means that could bring about improvement were used. Pushing his strength and momentum to a new peak. With a low roar. Xia En gathered all his strength from the soles of his feet, along his legs and waist, and then quickly transferred it to his arms. All the power is concentrated at the tip of the black sword like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea. The black sword carried a huge force, whistling and piercing the "spot" on Edward''s body! clang- There was an extremely long loud noise. Shane opened his eyes wide and looked at Edward in front of him. A silver-gray light shield appeared on Edward''s chest. But at this time, the tip of the black sword had penetrated the light shield and seemed to have pierced into Edward''s chest. "puff!" Immediately afterwards, Edward opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. His breath was visibly weakened. However, Xia En''s mood gradually sank to the bottom. because Although this sword caused a lot of injuries to Edward, it did not directly kill him with one sword! Sure enough. The next moment. Edward''s body suddenly disappeared in front of Shane and appeared dozens of meters away like a flicker. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes becoming colder. "It seems that I have indeed underestimated you." Edward looked around at the many members of the infiltration operation and said coldly. "In this case, I will no longer use conventional means to fight you." Before he finished speaking, a string of bracelets on his wrist suddenly lit up brightly. Seeing this scene, Xia En''s pupils suddenly shrank. He recognized the gems on the bracelets. That is what the members of the "Truth Society" call the "Order Stone". It seems that members of the [Truth Society] can use the [Order Stone] to forcibly control the clones created by them. Of course Xia En didn''t forget it. In this burning city, there are an unknown number of Xinwang clones! Buzz Just as Shane expected. As the light on Edward''s bracelet lit up, there was an obvious vibration in the sea of ????fire not far away. Immediately afterwards. One after another, ghost-like figures wearing black robes appeared in the sea of ??fire. That was the clone of King Xin summoned by Edward. It''s not hard to see. The surrounding flames, not only failed to harm them, but gradually attached themselves to them and burrowed under their black robes. Its like These men in black robes are absorbing the power from this fire! Seeing this, Xia En took a slight breath. At this moment, he suddenly understood Edward''s purpose of putting these Xinwang clones in this sea of ????fire instead of taking them directly to the palace! The fire that swept through the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] was originally the work of King Xin. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! That is to say. These flames naturally contain part of King Xin''s power. And the Xinwang clone created by the [Truth Society] can undoubtedly absorb the power in this fire and become more powerful. Or rather Become closer to the salary king! Xia En''s eyes swept across the sea of ????fire and found that the number of clones was at least dozens. Although most of the replicas have flaws and cannot fully grasp the power of King Xin, their ranks are generally at the fifth or sixth level. But after absorbing the flame of Xinwang, they will undoubtedly become more difficult and troublesome. If you are surrounded by them. Xia En and his party will probably be entangled by them. And, dont forget. There is also the powerful Edward on the side, watching eagerly. It can be said. Previously, there was still a slight chance of winning. A reversal occurred in an instant, and it was developing in the direction of collapse. The person with the numerical advantage turned from them to Edward! and. That''s not the worst thing. Seen aside. The shocking battle between Augustine and King Xin has come to an end. There was a loud bang! In the illusory ocean, a stormy wave tens of meters high suddenly rolled up, carrying the power of the sea, and slammed towards the sea of ????fire below. All of a sudden. This huge wave seemed to include the entire sea of ????fire, sucking it into his body. White steam rose instantly, occupying people''s field of vision. However, this time, the speed at which the flames evaporated the seawater was obviously slower. This causes the seawater to evaporate at the same time. The surging waves still formed an incredibly large vortex. It spins like a millstone, constantly strangling the blazing flames inside. After a while. The flame is temporarily extinguished. The figure of King Xin emerged from it. He forcibly broke away from the control of the whirlpool of the sea water and fell back into the ruins of the palace. But anyone with a discerning eye can see it. His aura at this time was much weaker than before, his entire face was pale, and his aura was far behind him. And opposite Xin Wang. Augustine, who had transformed into a human form again, still looked down at everyone present with majestic eyes. The arrogance and power that belong to the king are limited to nothing. The momentum, as vast as the sea, has not diminished at all. Brings a suffocating sense of oppression. It''s obvious. In this battle, King Xin lost. Think about it too. After all, King Xin in this memory scene is not his true body. Before the war started, he also used his own power to ignite the entire Great Yan Kingdom. The state is not at its peak. Although Augustine was in a state of being manipulated, his strength was still intact. There is even a once genuine legendary sword [Wang Yang] as a weapon. One goes down and the other goes up. It is reasonable for Augustine to win this battle. However, this is extremely bad news for Xia En and others. Just dealing with one Edward was already very dangerous and extremely difficult for them. Even if everyone works together, they may not be able to defeat him. at this time. There are so many Xinwang clones surrounding him. Augustine, the most powerful, even lost his restrictions. He alone can sweep through everyone present. This is absolute suppression of strength and rank. Even Shane couldn''t get past it. In fact. This is not a battle that they, the sixth-level secret path, should face in the first place. The members of the infiltration operation were able to persist until this moment because of their own willpower and Xia En''s performance beyond common sense. But now, Xia En and others are undoubtedly in a real desperate situation. There was a look of despair in William''s eyes. "Could it be...are we done here?" As for Benny, looking at Augustine not far away, his arms were weak and his limbs were weak, not as strong as usual. It was his body that instinctively felt fear. Benny bit his lip tightly and didn''t care even if it bled. "Move...move for me!" And the other side. Edward showed a winning smile. He didn''t bother to talk any more nonsense and directly ordered Augustine. "Augustin B1, kill them all!" Upon hearing this order, the taciturn Augustine took a step forward and raised the big sword [Wang Yang] in his hand. While raising the sword, the terrifying power continued. The illusory sea emerged from behind him again. This sword was so powerful that it seemed like it could kill all of them with just one swing. Xia En couldn''t help but feel his hair standing on end. Even though he had overestimated Augustine''s strength as much as possible, only when he actually faced him could he feel the strength of the former pirate king. But just when the sword was about to fall. Click! With a crisp sound, a crack appeared in the dark sky above everyone. Immediately afterwards. This crack expanded rapidly, as if forming a passage to the outside world. In a moment. A figure wrapped in flames fell from it like a meteor. boom- Meteors cut through the atmosphere at extremely fast speeds, making a roaring roar. In just the blink of an eye, it arrived in this ruins! A familiar voice sounded. "Captain Shane, thank you for your hard work." "Next, leave it to us." (End of chapter) Chapter 405 [Powerful Masters of the Seven Seas] VS Chapter 405 [Seven Sea Men Strong] vs [Da Yan] Watching this fall from the sky, hearing this familiar voice. Xia En''s expression couldn''t help but relax a lot, and his mood settled instantly. This is not only because of confidence in the comer and his confidence in his own vision. And William, Latiwen, and Benny all looked at this sudden man with a shocking look. They recognized only at a glance. This tall and magnificent man is not someone else, it is the king of salary! and. Unlike the salary king who was defeated in Augustine just now. The salary king in front of him has an indescribable supreme majesty. The momentum is at its peak. The flames on his body were hot and bright, as if beyond the vulgarity of the world, and it was almost impossible to look directly. And in his eyes, there is a kind of wisdom and vicissitudes set by time. It is the temperament that can only have only after a long baptism. Honestly. [Da Yan] The salary king created is extraordinary enough. He did have the spirit and responsibility of the king, and what he said made William and others swaying. but. I am afraid of comparison everything. At this time, when the real salary king debuted. Everyone can not only notice that there is a certain difference in soul between the two paid kings. You can distinguish it at a glance. It can be said. At this moment, the salary king has the majesty of the king who is in line with his identity and status at this moment. Augustin, the king of pirates not far away, presents the trend of trials. The shock of Latiwen and others is not difficult to understand. For them. The salary king is more like a character who lives in the legend and lives in historical books. The previous salary king was a pseudo -shaped by [Big inflammation]. And as soon as they appeared, they were defeated by Augustine, and they were naturally not so strong to give Latiwen their impact. And the salary king in front of him is the true thing of goods! It is equivalent to a living legend that came in front of them. How can this not make them set off in their hearts? in. Naturally, the eyes of dark ice are the most complicated. After witnessing so many pictures in the memory scene. She has realized that the salary king may not have betrayed their promises. The salary king did not abandon their feelings. Many of his actions are a last resort. The reason why he will get away from the salary king. on the one hand. It is because of the imminent disaster. On the other hand, it is a misunderstanding of various opportunities. To this day, it is difficult to say who is wrong. But if you want Dark Ice to pretend not to happen directly, forgive the salary king, but it is obviously impossible. At this time, this meeting that spans hundreds of years will inevitably make Dark Bing''s ups and downs. She wanted to say something, but she couldn''t say it directly. However, the current situation is not the time to care about these children. After suppressing the thoughts in my heart. Dark Bing could not help but emerge in a problem. How did the salary king enter [Da Yan] in the interior? [Da Yan] Isn''t it excluded the legendary and above strong? And at this time. Xia En and Jane have answered in their hearts. In fact. When Edward and Augustine appeared in [Da Yan] in the palace. They thought of a possibility. As the three nodes are destroyed in succession, the internal stability of [Da Yan] is likely to be fragile to a certain extent. It can make the legendary strong enter some way. Obviously. The crack on the sky was that the salary king forcibly opened the channel to enter the [Da Yan]. This came in front of Xia En''s people at a critical moment. only. Xia En also noticed that what the salary king said was ... "We?" Thinking of this, Xia En looked up again. I saw several figures appearing in that crack. And Xia En is no stranger to those figures. Two people headed. One person exudes white glory similar to Latiwen, as if it was embraced by light. It looks holy and brilliant. The other person was wearing a black robe, her hair curled like a sea snake, and her body exudes a quiet and cold temperament. It seems that it has just been salvaged from the seawater under thousands of meters. These two are the strong who reaches the eighth level- Grand Bishop Musa! And one of the most mysterious characters in Youyou denomination, Mr. Haile. And this is not all. I saw behind Musa and Hyrene. First, a dazzling purple mang tore the heavy clouds, just like a big blade. In the purple mang, a magnificent shore stepped on the void, surrounded by thunder. Each step falls, making the space make a "click" sound like a broken glazed. This person is a legendary secret of Thunder, and is called [Thunder Lord] in the Seven Sea Federation. He looked like an electricity, scanning the Quartet, and the power of the thunder system emitted on his body made the air around the air crackling. Immediately afterwards, the starlight in the sky gathered to form a shining star bridge. An old man in a star robe paced from the bridge. He held an ancient book with a soft light in his hand. Each page is over, and the power of stars overflows, forming a variety of mysterious astrology around him. Looking at the appearance of this old man, he may think he is unfamiliar. But once he lifted his deeds. Most people on the Seven Sea will be impressed. This old man is a legendary realm [Star Prophet]! Title- [Star Old Man] The prediction about the second time to destroy the world was the first conclusion. And lock the source of the flood in advance for the Federation [Extreme North]. Otherwise, it is just a document that has been sealed for many years. It is impossible to quickly attach great importance to federal officials. It can even say. [Kings] Exploring the [Extreme North Land] action was born under the strong promotion of this old man. Not only that. Behind the federal officials'' several major actions, they are actually related to the predictions of the old people. And this time. In order to defeat [Da Yan], even he even participated in the war. After all, there is an egg under the nest. This war is not only the war of the Seventh Seventh China Federation, but also the war of all human beings throughout the world, and even the Seven Sea World. Even if it is an old man in Xingchen, he is more accustomed to the legendary strong behind the scenes, and he is forced to appear in front of the stage to participate in such a battle. In addition to them, there are several legendary strong strong who have a very good strength and breath. Each of them has their own unique skills and has a great reputation on the Seven Sea. Anyone who rushes out is a figure of the Seven Sea Sea. When they gathered here and standing in the air alone, they brought a powerful and magnificent momentum. It is enough to make ordinary secrets trembling. There is no doubt. These legendary strong people are the true backbone of [Seven Sea World]. The burden of deciding [Seven Sea World] to survive should not fall on Xia En and others. Now, it is just to return to the right track. Of course, Xia En and others'' previous actions were definitely not worthless. It is precisely because they destroyed the previous three key nodes and disrupted the internal pattern of [Da Yan]. Only the legendary strong people such as the king will have the opportunity to open a passage and launch the overall attack on [Da Yan]. As the legendary strong people debut, the secret power in the memory scene is crazy. The mysterious light is intertwined with the strange power, and the sea of ??fire below is contrasting with each other. This one of the strange space becomes more chaotic and disorderly. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Similarly. The internal structure of the entire [Dayan] is also due to the influx of the legendary strong, which further loses stability. Just then. The salary king turned his head to look at the self that was shaped by [Da Yan]. After the battle with Augustine. The salary king in the memory scene was weak, and the secrets in the body did not exist. It seemed that it was suffering from an irreparable injury. He could still stand in front of Xia En and others before, but it was hard to support it. At this time, I saw the real myself arrived. Instead of being sad, the salary king in memory showed a smile that was exposed. "You are here." "I know, if it was me, how could I miss such a key decisive battle?" Hearing the words, the real salary king tone a little guilty. "I still have a step slower." The memory salary shook his head and said. "I was a fantasy destined to dissipate." "The defeat of another king in the past did not fall into the name of the salary king." "It is enough to see the truth of this world at the last moment, and you can still see the real self." "Now, I have completed my mission." "The next thing will be given to you." "Come on, another me." When the words fell, the salary king in the memory closed his eyes. The entire incomplete body gradually became a slightly dull flame. "Next, it''s our battle." The salary king sighed and stretched out his hand. This flame fell into his hands, like the nodes that absorbed [Da Yan] before the fire. Blinking. This cluster of flames were completely integrated into the salary king''s body. The disappearance of the memory king means that the second key node of [Da Yan] is also destroyed. at the moment. The distance from [Da Yan] is only one step away! only. The dissipation of the memory king is not at all disadvantages. With the disappearance of his node. Originally, because of many legendary strong men, it became more and more fragile and unbalanced. Just like what Xia En encountered a few times, he completely collapsed. In the sea of ??fire, there were terrible cracks, like a dark black hole, swallowed everything nearby. Even the buildings that were transformed into ruins were also unable to survive. In the sky. When the salary king and others broke in, the gap caused the cracks to spread to the surroundings. The whole piece of sky curtain is fragmented, like crushed porcelain. But for the legendary strong people of the king, the crumbling memory scene is not a problem. What really made them eye -catching. In the sea of ??fire. Gradually appeared in the figure of the undead. They wrapped around the **** flames, and their bodies seemed like coke corpses. With strong resentment and anger, these flames made a "call" sound, as if they were telling their unwillingness during their lifetime. and. The strength of these undead is generally extremely powerful. Among them, there is even a legendary realm. Obviously. This is not just the undead born in this sea of ??fire. The [Da Yan], which woke up, began to use his own strength to hang out outsiders such as the salary king. at the same time. Edward is not just watching. After seeing the salary king and others, his complexion changed slightly, but he didn''t think he had no chance. He raised his wrist again, with the help of [Ling Stone], manipulating the replication of the salary king, and Augustine B1 to attack many legends on the Seven Sea. "Augustine, kill them!" With his order. Augustine raised the big sword again [Wang Yang], and cut in the direction of Xia En and others. The terrible power surged in time. "Your opponent ... it''s me!" The salary king drink coldly. A huge flame blade appeared in his hand, and he chopped away by [Wang Yang]. As soon as the flames were in contact with the unreal seawater, a fierce burst sound came out. The state of the memory salary king and Augustine are different. This knife of the genuine salary king is left directly in the unreal sea. As if to cut the entire sea! at the same time. In the eyes of Augustine B1, the salary king brought mercy. "After all, it''s just a pseudo -produced pseudo." "No matter how similar it is, it does not have the real soul of the pirate king." "Now, let me help you get rid of it." Just when the salary king got up, when he was struggling with Augustin. The Grand Bishop of Musa and Mr. Hyrenes were the goal of Edward View the primary solution. "[Truth] walking dog." "Although I don''t know why you betrayed humans, trying to destroy the world." "But since you do this, you must be prepared to be the enemy of the world!" Mun''s eyes suddenly lit up like the sun as bright as the sun. A beam dropped from the sky and directly locked the position of Edward. This is a Hui religion that can limit the enemy''s movement. Under the light, everything has nothing to do. Edward cannot use means such as "space transmission" to get rid of control. Immediately afterwards. Hyller, who was mad dancing, seemed to turn into the shadow under that glory, as close to Edward as a ghost. Immediately, Hyrene stretched out his hand and shot it everywhere. A dark handprint appeared on Edward''s chest. Exudant a creepy atmosphere. As the handprints kept tightening, Edward''s heart seemed to be caught by a big hand and was constantly squeezed. This is exactly a variant of [Heart Sites]. Edward does not sit still. He drank height. "Truth, I know ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 406 [The battle situation turns around] [Unl Chapter 406 [The battle situation turns around] [The solution density is 99%! Following Edward''s prayer-like cry. A mysterious and mysterious power suddenly emerged from his body. This secret power is different from the secret power used by many legendary mystics. It is like some kind of highly concentrated data flow. Contains an extremely large amount of information. And when the data flowed through Edward. All areas that were flowed through seemed to have pressed the refresh button and were reset to an intact state. Even the black handprint on his chest disappeared in an instant. It''s like it never appeared. This kind of erasure is completely different from erasure in the conventional sense. It''s more like directly covering Edward''s body with massive data. As a result, the injuries and losses suffered in the previous battles were all restored to the peak state without injury. Not far away, Musas eyes narrowed slightly. "Is this... [overwriting]?" Musa had fought against members of the [Truth Society] several times, so he knew some of their methods. The so-called [overwrite] is as the name suggests. It means using a large amount of data and information to cover and rewrite the original appearance of things. Or, like Edward at this time, it can be used to change one''s own state. Or it may give the overwritten person some abilities that he does not originally possess and use them in battle. certainly. Not everyone can be the target of being overwritten. As far as Musa knows. Even in the [Truth Society], there are only a few members who can overwrite themselves anytime, anywhere, even in battle. Moreover, such overwriting capabilities are not free. Directly and roughly instilling data into the bodies of the Mystics will undoubtedly cause some irreversible damage to their bodies and even their souls. Especially on a spiritual level. Those who have experienced the secret path of overwriting may not only have a drastic change in their mood. It is more likely that you will lose your original rationality and slide towards the abyss of madness. Put it simply. He becomes a madman with chaotic thinking and irrationality. Therefore, in the [Truth Society]. [Overwriting] is also a quite taboo method. only. Edward''s situation is obviously different from that of ordinary secret travelers. His memory and personality have been greatly deleted and distorted. Like a broken doll that has been patched up. Its already full of loopholes, but I dont care to add a few more. Therefore, the side effects caused by memory overwriting have little impact on him. After using this move to eliminate the injuries caused by Heller''s ultimate move. Edward once again input a complex piece of data into his body and whispered softly. "[Glow Affinity]" As countless information streams flashed through Edward''s eyes, it meant that this talent had taken effect on him in an instant. The light beams cast by Musa around him not only failed to have the effect of continuing the blockade. Instead, part of it was absorbed by Edward''s body and became the secret power he drove. "What?" Musa''s eyes suddenly opened slightly, and a surge of anger arose from his heart. In the teachings of Huijiao. Only devout and pure believers can absorb the brilliance of the Lord of Radiance. Just like Latiwen who is a member of the infiltration team. -He can become the so-called [Glow Container], in addition to the special nature of his own soul, it is also because he has an extremely rare innocent heart. And in Musa''s view. Edward''s act of absorbing the brilliance at this time is undoubtedly a blasphemy against the brilliance and even the lord of the brilliance. His anger is not difficult to understand. And obviously. [Glow Affinity] is not the only talent that Edward can overwrite. During the war between the three secret sects. Not only Musa and Heller are aware of some of the methods of the [Truth Society]. The [Truth Society] also collected a lot of data on the powerful people of the two sects, thus deciphering the abilities of the Hui sect and the Yousu sect. Now is the time to make use of this information. "[The power of darkness]" Edward murmured softly. A massive flow of information washed over his body again. When he opened his eyes again, Edward had a profound temperament that was very similar to Heller''s. Like coming from the deep sea thousands of meters below. Chilling. Seeing this, Heller''s expression also changed. However, he did not feel flustered by this, but sneered. "Even you, the number of times you can overwrite these talents is limited, right?" "Even if you can temporarily possess the resistance of our sect and Hui sect, how should you deal with the other strong men present?" It seems to prove Heller''s statement. Just the next moment. A figure with thunder wrapped around its body had already shuttled in front of Edward like lightning. It is the eighth-level powerhouse, the Lord of Thunder! The taciturn man said nothing and just took action. He raised his palm. The thunder and lightning condensed into a knife in a moment, showing a deep purple color, with countless tiny thunder snakes running on it. Immediately afterwards. This hand knife carries a terrifying aura that seems to be able to destroy everything. Cut towards Edward. Compared to other laws. The effect of the Thunder Law is actually quite plain and simple. That is... It is as terrifying and destructive as the mighty power of heaven. Domineering, direct, rough, but irresistible. So faced with such a blow. Edward didn''t dare to relax at all. His eyes lit up with blue light, and the decomposition field around him was fully activated. And it attempted to teleport to another area with the help of space flickering at the moment the thunder fell. But that''s about it. A strange song suddenly sounded. The song sung seemed to be in a language that did not belong to this world. It sounds extremely mysterious and mysterious. And with a heart-stopping power. And what came with the singing was the brilliance of countless bright stars. The stars appeared all around Edward out of thin air, arranged to form a mysterious star pattern. And that strange singing voice came from countless stars! It''s like...a chorus from the stars! This is exactly the astrology secret technique of Old Man Xingchen. Under the song and light of the stars. Edward''s body seemed to have been suddenly injected with liquid lead, and every inch of muscle became extremely heavy. This kind of secret technique does not only affect his body. His thinking and the operation of his secret power have become extremely slow. The picture in front of me seemed to have turned into a slideshow that was slowly playing frame by frame. Even in the next moment. Edward forced himself out of this sluggish state. However, in a battle at their level. Even a delay of one second is enough to determine the outcome of the battle. When unable to teleport away. Edward could only face the terrifying thunder in front of him. In an instant, the entire space seemed to be solidified by this majestic thunder power. The air was instantly ionized, making a sharp "sizzling" sound. It seemed as if the entire space was groaning in pain under this terrifying power. Wherever the attack hit, the ground was instantly torn open with bottomless ravines. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! It was as if the earth had been clawed hard by the sharp claws of an evil beast. The earth and rocks on the edge of the gully were instantly melted by the high temperature, flowing into hot magma, exuding a pungent smell of sulfur. As for Edward, who was the first to bear the brunt, the decomposition field around him shattered in an instant. The violent thunder directly hit his body and opened a huge gap in his waist. This gap almost cut Edward in half! The cut surface of the wound was completely charred, and even the internal organs were severely carbonized! There is no doubt about it. This was the most serious injury Edward had suffered since the war began. If an ordinary person suffered such an injury, he would probably die completely within a few breaths and die completely! But Edward is an eighth-level secret pather after all. As his vitality continued to drain, he once again used the power of overwriting to forcibly restore his body to the state before the injury. Only this time. He obviously could not completely avoid all injuries. Even after overwriting, his face was extremely pale and his secret power was severely lost. Not only that. There is also a steady stream of the secret power of thunder remaining in his body, constantly destroying his body. This is because The previous attack by the Thunder Lord had already seeped the secret power of Thunder into Edward''s secret power. At a more microscopic level, it becomes one with his body. Even if Edward overwrites it, he can only overwrite it into the state of the bearer of the secret power of thunder. But the destructive power caused by the Thunder is real. This resulted in Edward having to overwrite it again and again, but was unable to truly heal his injuries. It can be said. From this moment on, Edward will only become weaker and weaker, and his injuries will become more serious. This also means that he is inevitably heading towards the end of defeat. Despite this, Edward still did not give up resistance and used his own methods to attack Musa and others. At the same time, four eighth-level experts were besieging Edward. Not far away. The battle between King Xin and Augustine has also entered a fever pitch. The battlefield between the two of them has changed from the ruins of the palace to the entire nearby city. In this city that was engulfed in flames and filled with terrifying cracks. The flames illuminated the sky as red as blood. Augustine stands on the sea he created, with an illusory and huge battleship at his feet. That was the [Black Sails] that accompanied him in battles in the past! certainly. This [Black Sail] is just an illusion condensed by his secret power, not a real ship. But even so, when the [Black Sails] emerged on this sea, it still showed a bit of invincible and invincible power in history! The wind howled. Augustine''s wide black cloak was flapping, and his deep eyes seemed to contain endless power. He just waved his hand, and the sea surface began to churn violently. Huge waves were like giant beasts waking up one after another, rising from the sea of ????fire and rushing towards the direction of King Xin. King Xin''s eyes were hot and firm, and an exaggeratedly large long blade appeared in his hand, and he swung it towards the huge wave. All of a sudden. A flaming sword light hundreds of meters long slashed towards the incoming waves. It seemed as if the entire sky was about to be split open. The moment the sword energy collided with the waves, there was a deafening roar. The firelight and waterlight intertwined to form a gorgeous and shocking picture. The waves were chopped into pieces by the sword energy and turned into water splashes all over the sky. At the same time. Augustine controlled the [Black Sail] at his feet and rushed towards King Xin in a mighty manner. The huge momentum was like a mountain toppling over. King Xin did not show any weakness and turned into a flaming giant hundreds of meters high, colliding with the illusory [Black Sail]. The aftermath of the battle between the two former kings was so earth-shattering that many undead nearby were shattered to pieces. As for the other legends rushing to the battlefield, they were naturally not idle either. They found the nearby clone of King Xin, as well as the [Great Flame] undead that surged in the flames. Someone waved their weapons in the sky, and the undead fell in pieces like wheat. There are people who are like lightning and can move freely among the monsters. The sharp blade in his hand is wrapped with a sharp wind blade, and each swing can destroy several enemies. Others sang war songs, cast healing spells, added buffs to other legendary powerhouses, and healed their wounds. In the distance, only another violent roar was heard. The beam of the [God-Destroyer Cannon] shot out from the [King], instantly clearing a large area of ??undead. Seeing that beam of light, Xia En in the field was overjoyed. This proves that Colonel Gold and his crew are still fighting on the King. And with King Xin and many legendary strong men joining the battle. Now, the balance of victory seems to be gradually tilting towards them? Xia En and others, who had experienced several battles and nearly died, became the most leisurely people in the field. On the one hand, many powerful enemies have been entangled by legendary powerhouses. on the other hand. Xia En and the others do need this kind of time to take a short breather and rest. Just quickly. Shane noticed that this memory scene did not completely collapse as he expected. Instead, it maintains a state of collapse but not collapse, maintaining a fragile balance. "What''s going on?" On the side, Jane, who was also replying, replied. "I think...this scene is most likely the last fragment in [Da Yan]''s memory." "It is also its most core area." "After all, after this fire, the entire [Great Yan Country] ceased to exist." Shane suddenly understood. He figured out something at this time. perhaps The reason why this undead spirit of [Great Yan] was born is because in this fire, the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] developed extremely strong resentment! This resentment and remnant souls gathered together to form [Great Flame]. [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" +5%! [Current solution density: 99%! Seeing these lines of text, Xia En''s pupils shrank. 99%, which means that there is still a mystery in the whole incident that has not been solved. All of a sudden. Shane thought of another question. Since this is the final scene of [Great Flame], where is the last key node? Moreover, would that mysterious [Omniscient Sage] really watch them win this victory? (End of chapter) Chapter 407 Augustine body! [全 【【] Appears! Chapter 407 Augustine! [ȫ ] Appears! Just then. Latiwen asked. "Actually there is something, I haven''t figured out yet." Latwen said his confusion seriously. "That''s ..." "Why should the salary king set off this fire, ignite the city of Fan Yan and even [Da Yan Kingdom]?" Actually. Not just him, William, Bennie, and even Karlez could not figure out the reason behind this. Hearing the words, Jian opened his mouth explaining. "The following is my guess on this reason." "Not necessarily the real answer." "But combined with the information that has been known now, this is the most likely situation." "You should have seen the horrible and weird dirty creature on the [Extreme North]?" Latiwen nodded silently. Anyone who has seen such a monster will leave a very deep impression. Especially the kind of soul imprisonment in a increasingly decaying and distorted body, eternal life and eternal life must not be relieved. It also made them feel creepy from the heart. No one wants themselves to become that existence. Jian Ji continued. "Now I can basically determine that those dirty creatures are [Dan Yan Kingdom]." "The reason why they turned into the later appearance is most likely because of [Dian Di], that is, the curse of the foreign god!" "I think" "This curse may be applied to [Da Yan] all of the nationals in some way." "At that time, the salary king could not solve this curse." "But there is a way to let them avoid the monsters that are not ghosts and ghosts, and they are not as good as dead." Hearing here. Even if you do nt need to say that method, everyone has guessed the final answer. That''s ... Use the flame to completely purify them! The flame of the salary king is essentially [old day salary fire] from the Seven Sea World. At the same level as the secret force of the outer god. Naturally, you can clear this terrible and evil curse. But the price burned all his people. This is certainly not a good way. It''s just that in these two bad endings, the relatively good one is selected. At least [Da Yan Kingdom], people who do not have to endure the eternal torture in the long time can get eternal and peaceful rest. But for the salary king. Killing these innocent people in person, they must also bear their misunderstandings and hatred. How could that mood be uncomfortable? Xia En couldn''t help but think of the period when Yan Yan just remembered his memory. At that time, he always had an unimaginable heavy and sad. It can be seen that the depth of scars brought to him. It was the injury that was deeply engraved in the heart and never healed. By this time. Xia En also completely wanted to understand. Why did the salary choose to forget his memory. Why did he be burned by his flames all the time when he first encountered Yan Yan at the time and was suffering from the pain of burning every inch of skin and flesh. That''s all because of this tragedy! The sense of self -protection of the human body made him selectively forget those most cruel and painful memories. As a result, the salary king became a naive, kind, and open -minded, but he didn''t know anything. But at the same time. The salary king could not really forget the sin that he committed. The guilt and guilt in the heart are always torturing him. The specific manifestation is the body that is constantly burning and regenerating. This is the [Self -Penalty] of the Pay King! Based on it. That was because the salary king could not forgive, destroying the entire [Da Yan Kingdom] himself. Therefore, in this way, punish yourself. But in the end. Due to the approaching of the second destroyed flood, the salary king still recalled the painful past. In the end, he decided to leave [Black Swan] and struggle for the future of human beings. Soon, Xia En beside him, Dark Bing couldn''t help raising questions. "One more thing, I can''t understand." "I was clearly seen in the [Extreme North] I met Irina." "But in this memory scene, I witnessed the scene of she was burned into a burnt corpse." "What''s going on?" "Is Elena''s life or death?" "Also ... Is the maintenance device in their mouths real?" Smell, Jian hesitated, or said. "Actually, when I first saw Elena and Sergei." "I faintly noticed a little difference." "Their words and deeds, breath, and vitality are generally the same as living people, and even lively blood and surging heartbeat." "However, they linger on a strange death." "It''s like ... they should have died many years ago." "Of course, this kind of death is extremely light, and only a few people can notice it." Jane paused and continued. "I originally thought this was my illusion, but after experiencing the whole memory scene." "I can assert that most of the [black inflammation", including Elena, actually did not survive the fire. " "I have really slept for thousands of years, and people who have spanned to this day from the era of [Da Yan Kingdom]." "From beginning to end, only His Royal Highness You." Even if I had expected in my heart, after hearing this answer, Dark Bing couldn''t help but move, and at the same time, he was in a lot of shocks. She asked again. "What kind of state is that Elena?" "Why can you act like a living person?" Briefly explain. "If I didn''t guess wrong." "Elena, these [Black Flamers] can be resurrected, and they are also related to the salary king and [Da Yan]." "Perhaps ... the salary king was expected to come in advance to the second big flood." "So, put together the souls of this part of [Black Yanxian]." "And let them wake up at the right time and find themselves who have amnesia." "And Elena''s performance is the same as that of ordinary living people, one key reason is ..." "They lost their memories before death!" "I originally thought that the salary king seal Elena''s memory is for other purposes." "But now it seems that such a seal is a kind of protection." "You can make [Black Yan Pedestrian] mistakenly think that they are still alive." "If they know the fact that they have died, I am afraid they will dissipate and collapse in an instant." The words that Brief said are exactly the same as the conclusions came after Xia En''s thinking. It''s just a little bit. Jane did not say exit. That''s ... [Dayan Kingdom] Why do all citizens fall into such a terrible curse? Honestly, Xia En already had a approximate answer. It was obviously related to the ritual that was given to the salary king. It is very likely that in order to seal the upcoming big flood, the king of salary kings will be cursed by the secrets of [Da Yan Kingdom] during the use of rituals. But think of this. Xia En couldn''t help but have another doubt. [Quanxiaxian] What is the purpose of doing so? Even if the [Truth will], in order to pursue the truth, you can hesitate at all costs. But what did Xia En not see? What does it have to do with the pursuit of truth to destroy the world? The so -called "new world" in their mouths is more like a slogan. Moreover, how can the rituals of [Quanxiaxian] be related to the secret force of [Filial Fate]? Xia En faintly has a premonition. If these questions can be answered. He can completely solve the mystery of [Da Yan Kingdom] and know the truth of everything. Just when Xia En''s thoughts were undulating. Not far away, on the battlefield that was intertwined with the flames. The heavens and the earth seemed to be confused by these two powerful forces. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! The salary king''s body surrounded the flames of burning, like a walking volcano, hitting Augustine again and again. Augustine was a big sword in his hand [Wang Yang] once, and he was fighting with the salary king. Countless water columns rose from the unreal sea. Just like a dragon, rushing towards the salary king in the flame. The salary of the incarnation of the flame giant was not afraid, and the flame giant blade with the power of destroying the earth and split down. This time, the [Black Sail] that was condensed was directly divided into two. The illusory giant ship was fragmented in the flame. The crushing of [Heifan] also means that Augustine completely fell into the wind in this battle. It''s like Augustine''s paid king will occupy an advantage. At this time, Augustine B1, no matter how similar it is, is not the real king of pirates after all. His thinking and ability should be more rigid. This is also a defect in the [Truth Council]. Therefore, when facing the real salary king, it is only a matter of time. However, Augustine did not give up resistance. There was a sudden light in his eyes, and his hands were lifted up. Immediately afterwards. On the unreal on the sea, an unprecedented tsunami set off out of thin air, and the huge waves seemed to swallow the sky. With an unstoppable momentum, he swept towards the salary king. The salary king took a deep breath and brought the flames of the whole body to the giant blade. He jumped high and cut out a shocking knife towards the tsunami. In a moment. The world changes color. This knife, with endless flames and strength, the air was squeezed to make a sharp whistling. Everything in the way is swallowed by the flame. Boom. The flame cut the terrible tsunami into two halves and fell on Augustine''s body, and quickly ignited it. At the last moment of life, Augustine seemed to find his own personality and memory. In the burning of the flames. He smiled at the salary king. "Later, you can call more qualified kings than me." Augustine turned his head to look at Xia En below, and a little nostalgia, emotion and excitement appeared in his eyes. He murmured softly. "Type hoping in the future ..." "Now, I really see the hope of victory." "My mission has been completed, but your road is still difficult." "The future of this world is in your hands!" After saying this. Augustine''s body suddenly collapsed into countless unreal seawater and disappeared in the air. And it seems that there is an ancient vicissitudes of boat songs, and it sounds. "Goodbye to your hometown ..." "I will start today ..." Xia En is extremely familiar with the melody of this boat song. It was the boat song that once beheaded the head of the head and the [Black Sail]. Subsequently, the unreal sea shaped by Augustine also disappeared in a blink of an eye. Make Xia En a little emotional. Even if it was just Augustine''s replication, when he fell, it still showed extraordinary spirit. At the same time, the salary king slowly fell down and stood on a messy battlefield. The flame on him was still burning, announcing the victory of the king''s duel. On the other. The battle between Mouza and Edward is also close to the end. In the field. The mysterious astrology, the raging thunder, the dazzling glory, the shadow of the weird ... The secrets of the eight -tier strong are constantly alternating and flashing back and forth in this area. It looks strange and mysterious. Under the offensive of the four. Edward, who had previously taken advantage of the upper hand of Xia En and others, showed a clear trend. He used the power of [overwriting] again and again to heal his body. He was constantly hurt by the attack of the four. Sometimes it is worn by the arrow of the stars. Sometimes it is tearing the flesh by the violent thunder. In this battle, Musa played the role of nanny and auxiliary. Cure the injuries on the companion''s body with holy glory. At the same time, Edward''s actions are limited. Mr. Hyle, the most unknown atmosphere, is like a ghost assassin who always appears in the most insidious position and launching a sneak attack on Edward. For a while, the light on the battlefield flashed, and various powerful secrets were criss -crossed. over time. Edward''s secrets gradually weakened, and his body began to shake under the attack of the four. The light blue light in the eyes became more dull, like a candlelight that was about to extinguish. finally. Under the positive bombardment of [Thunder dominated], the decomposition field of Edward''s body was broken. The terrible thunder fell directly to his chest, leaving a large scorching trace. Edward vomited blood, his eyes were scattered, and his breath was weak. And this time, his writing ability also seemed to reach the limit, and he could no longer cure this fatal injury. "You lost." Silently dominated, finally said the first sentence since the start of the war. It''s just about this. Edward only swept the four of them with irony eyes. "I lost?" "No, you dont know what will happen after you defeat me." "You, you know nothing about the real power." Haileyin sneered: "At this time, do you want to say a lot?" But aside, Musa frowned, and the ominous premonition was born in his heart. I saw that Edward closed his eyes, and his voice gradually dissipated. But the next moment. Another extremely strange voice sounded in his body. "Everyone, happy game ... here is over!" Hearing this sound, the salary king looked calm, and murmured with gritted teeth. "[ ȫ ] ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 408 Facing [Quanxian Sage] [Seven Sin] Chapter 408 Straight [All Knowledge Sage] [Seven Criminal Crimes] "[ ȫ ] ..." Hearing this name, Xia En''s look suddenly became very dignified. The opponent is not only the founder of the "Truth Council], the most mysterious and unpredictable [Truth Council] chairman. It is also the culprit for [Da Yan Kingdom] to go. even It may also have some close connection with the [Different Destiny]. How could Xia En not be vigilant about such a character? Not only the legendary strong people such as Xia En and Paying King, Munsa, Mr. Hyle, and Thunder dominated, they also looked at the "Edward." Many of them have not heard of the name [Quanzhi Sage]. But everyone can perceive. At this time, some of the terrible variability of Edward was undergoing some kind of indescribable and terrible mutations. The most obvious. It is his breath that is becoming more and unpredictable. The space around is shrouded in a heavy and depressed secret, as if in the edge of the endless dark abyss. Every time people breathe, they can feel the ancient and vicissitudes contained in that breath. Like the precipitation of countless years, there are countless unknown hidden secrets, which makes people feel strong. Previous Edward, as a strong man with eight -tier combat power. Naturally, the breath cannot be described as not strong, and it once suppressed Xia En and others. But compared with him at this time. But it seemed like a stream met a sea. The gap between the two sides is so large that it is difficult to measure. This means. The strength and danger of "Edward" will also change dramatically. This could not help but secretly shocked some legendary strong men. Edward just now requires four eight -tier strong siege to completely eliminate. At that now. How terrible will this be called the existence of [Quanzhi Sage]? Everyone can see it. Although the man in front of him was still wearing Edward''s skin, he has completely become another person in essence! With the change of "Edward" atmosphere. His body surface began to have a strange blue light. The countless data flowed through the light and quickly spread to his whole body. His facial features and body shape gradually blurred in the light, as if he was rubbed by a pair of invisible big hands. The bones made a fierce "click" sound, and the original slender posture gradually increased. After a moment. Edward''s face disappeared completely, and replaced it was a face that had nothing to do with before. It was a very beautiful, neutral face. He has a white hair, and his facial features are extremely exquisite and beautiful, and there are almost no flaws, just like the most perfect creation in heaven. That kind of beauty is beyond gender, making it difficult for people to distinguish him as men or women. but. There is no reason. Everyone can notice that behind that beautiful, there is some kind of unimaginable and unimaginable malice. What you want to say. That is probably a non -human heterogeneity! That is. Although this man looks like a human, his behavior is extremely similar to humans. But it is a fundamental difference between it and humans. As if hidden under this skin, it is some kind of horror monster from the sky. Then according to the psychological terrorist valley effect. As a result, looking at the beautiful face, not only did everyone fail to raise the idea of ??appreciation, but also felt a kind of chill from the heart. "This is [Quanzhi Sage] ..." Looking at the man not far away. Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly. On the other side. He felt a terrible breath that he had never perceived. That momentum, not only exceeded the eight -tier strong of Edward, Mussa, Hayler. It is even more faintly overlooking on Augustine and the salary king! Yes. Even the strongest salary king of their own side, I am afraid that in the reign, it is not as good as this mysterious [Quanxian Sage]. And at this time. Xia En also had a general understanding of the strength of the salary king. Such as Mouza and Thunder dominated these strong men, are all eight -order secrets. Such a strong man, the number of [Seven Sea World] is extremely scarce, is already the top batch of existence, far better than the general legend. In contrast. There is no doubt that Augustine and Palace King have entered the threshold of the ninth order. It is only one step away from the so -called "climbing god". But know. [Seven Sea World] Thousands of years. It also came out of the two of their horizontal pressure first kings. Each leading to his own era, becoming the strongest of his own era. After that, there was no trace of the ninth -level secret. It can be seen that the nine -order strong. Because, being able to break through to the ninth order, not only the personal efforts of the secret passage, but also some precious opportunities that can be encountered. Even ... the recognition of the secret sea! But now the [Quanzhi Sage]. Judging from the breath alone, even above the salary king. So, will his level be nine or ... or more? Thinking of this, Xia En''s heart suddenly tightened. Honestly, until now. The true identity and purpose of this [Quanzhi Sage] are unknown. No one knows where he came from. No one knows what exactly what he did? Such a mysterious person is more elusive than those of the evil villains with clear and cruel killing. It''s like ... you can''t figure out the idea of ??a lunatic. Naturally, he cannot predict his next behavior. Sudden. Xia En suddenly wondered, secretly in his heart. "If you use my eyes, you may see through some of his secrets." Thinking about it, Xia En directly urged [Sighting the Pupil] to look at the [Quanzhi Sage]. Look at this glance. It made Xia En''s storms in his heart. In the field of vision of [Pupil of the Secret], a chaotic scene that Xia En never seen before. The whole body of [Quanxiaxian] shrouded a deep darkness. Like a sticky ink, penetrating all over his body. Countless chaos and lines are hidden in such darkness, as if they are regarded as darkness with darkness. It looks like a living body per creep and groaning. This, Chan is the first time to meet! Moreover, when he stared at those points and lines, his eyes suddenly felt a tingling. It''s as if those existence itself is a blasphemy, evil thing! But at this moment. Xia En understands the nature of those existence. They are not a specific thing, but a polymer that exists abstract. Their essence is ... The sin of human nature! Arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, overeating, lust! In everyone, they have such emotions more or less. However, learning to control yourself is the biggest difference between humans and beasts. Therefore, few people are completely controlled by these desires. Even if there are, it is often just a few "sins" at the same time. However, the man in the field of vision, the sin that was condensed around, not only had seven kinds of sins, but also the concentration of each kind was highly indeed. This feels to Xia En- [All -Knowing Sage], like a greedy monster, eats human sins! And turn it into nutrients to make themselves stronger! In this case, it reminds Charles a existence. [Different Destiny]! According to legend, [Dirty Di] is the outer **** of the palm [Dirty]. The purpose of the reason why he set off a variety of disasters in various worlds is to learn the so -called [dirty] power. When a world is on the verge of destruction, the [Dirty Land] that [Dirty Life] can be drawn is undoubtedly the most. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! This is the fundamental reason for the two floods. Although [omnipotent sages], although it is not the power of [dirty], it is the power of the same evil chaos. It is difficult to say that there is no connection between the two. one way or another. At this glance, Xia En could judge. Under the beautiful skin of [Quanzhi Sage], hidden, I am afraid that it is the purest maliciousness to humans and the most pure malicious for [Qihai World]! And at this time. [All -Knowing Sage] Turn his head and look at the Xia En below. In the eyes of those who seem to be an uninhabited eyes, a touch of surprise flashed. Immediately afterwards. He showed a chilling smile. "Your eyes are very good." "It''s better to ... dig it out for me!" Next moment. The body of [Quanzhi Sage] disappeared in place out of thin air, and when he appeared again, he had already come to Xia En. Suddenly. Xia En rose to a extreme warning, and the cold hair of the whole body was upright. The sweat came out of the forehead without controlling, and slipped coldly over the cheeks. In the face of the ninth order and higher levels, Xia En''s body almost couldn''t move. But even so. Xia En did not give up the hope of life. His heart beating sharply, and the blood of the blood in his body pushed to the extreme. The pure void secrets came out without reservation, forming armor composed of a big dark sky, blocking him and [Quanzhi Sage]. Even at the next moment. This solid armor collapsed in an instant, and it was broken into countless dark particles. But this is a very short moment that he has won the valuable vitality for Xia En. laugh! When the right hand of [Quanzhi Sage] is about to touch Xia En''s face. A hot and warm flame suddenly ignited Xia En''s body. immediately. The figure in front of [Quanzhi Sage] has changed from Xia En to the salary king. On the other side, Xia En''s body was transmitted to a safe place. The salary king out of the flame was extremely calm and could not see any emotional fluctuations. Only deep in the eyes of those eyes, the flames were burning with fierce flames that would never go out. No one can see that it is the calm before the volcanic eruption Only when his enemies died, the flame of hatred will completely calm down. Compared to the depressed anger of the salary king. [Quanxiaxian] look a lot of relaxation, and it is even leisurely and casual. It''s like ... All this in front of him is just a game for playing. Seeing the arrival of the salary king, [Quanzhi Sage] was not panicked, and a joke smile appeared on his face. "Isn''t this the king of [Dayan Kingdom]?" "It''s been thousands of years since we met last time, right?" "Talk to me like this as soon as you meet. Is this a attitude towards the rescue of the heroes?" "Don''t forget, if there is no ritual, human beings that survive in the world now are not even one percent, right?" At this time, [Quanzhi Sage] seemed to be suddenly thinking of something, and said with a smile. "Oh, right." "I almost forgot, there is still a small price to save the world." "That''s ... let you destroy your own [Da Yan Kingdom]." "But don''t you become a hero because of this? Are you not happy for this?" "Smile with a smile, what do you do with your face?" He did not hide his ridicule in his words, and his tone was extremely exaggerated, like a clowns in the circus. It''s like deliberately angry the king of salary, and ignore the consequences of this afterwards. And I can hear, [Quanxiaxian] seems to be really happy! By this time. Xia En was finally awakened. This mysterious [Quanzhi Sage] may be a downright and madman! All his actions may have no reason at all. Just ... he wants to do so! However, in the face of such a provocation, the salary king remained extremely calm, and did not lose its mind because of his words. He knows that the [Quanzhi Sage] in front of him will be a rare enemy in his life. Any impulse may lead to the failure of this battle. The salary king Shen Sheng said. "Today, it''s time for us to grievance." As soon as the words fell, the flames in his hand bombarded to [Quanxiaxian] without reservation. It''s a pity. The [Quanzhi Sage] hit by the flames was fragmented like a mirror. But his body appeared more than tens of meters away. Obviously, it was only his residual projection in place. Hearing the words of the salary king, [Quanzhi Sage] seemed to hear a very funny joke, laughed. "Turn the grudge between you and me, do you also match?" "Since everyone is present, let me show me the process of the annihilation of [Da Yan Kingdom] for them?" "Let them have knowledge, how do you lead [Da Yan Kingdom] to destroy!" "Also, the first gift I gave you." To say, [Quanzhi Sage] gently gently into a city that has become ruined not far away. Countless subtle light flowed, and the ruins below began to wash down like a waves. If you look closely, you can find it. Those light flows are actually countless small and fragmented memory fragments. Under their washing. The time of the whole memory scene began to flow backwards! More precisely, [Quanxiaxian] is artificially shaped the memory scene that exists in history. In this memory, what happened continued to trace back. Time gradually moves forward. Soon, a flood that swept throughout the world, caught the vision of everyone present. [ȫ ] As the narration, the words sounded. "On that day, the big flood came from the void of the [Extreme North]." "Rolling towards [Da Yan Guo] ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 409 【Day of the Great Flood】 Chapter 409 [The Day of the Great Flood] In [Dayan Kingdom] that restored the past. The sky seemed to be shrouded in a huge lead gray curtain, and it was heavy to the earth. The wind was raging among the heavens and the earth, like a anger beast, whistling across. Boom Rondon - With the deafening loud noise. A touch of deep blue, like the off -the -wild horses, approach from far away. Xia En and the secrets present, the pupils shrank. It was a tall waves, with the terrible power of the mountains and the sea, rolling towards them. There are white foam on the cusp, like the devil''s teeth, flashed with cold light. Even if everyone has lived on the Qihai for a long time, I have seen countless winds and waves. But the big floods in front of them are terrible than every storm they experience. This is a terrible disaster that is enough to destroy the entire world! Even if Xia En had guessing as much as possible, the disaster was a terrible scene of the disaster. But when it really came to front. Xia En found that he still underestimated the disaster of all human beings. at this time. As the flood approached. The earth began to tremble, as if overwhelming. Immediately afterwards, the animals on the [Extreme North] began to flee around in this disaster. The birds flew in horror in the sky, making a scream. The countless beasts left from the nest acupoint, and panicked towards the city of the flood -[Dan Yan Kingdom] city. Soon, the flood was getting closer. The eyes of everyone. It is a towering water wall with dozens of floors height, wrapped in sediment, stones and various debris, surging. Wherever the flood is going, everything is swallowed ruthlessly. The people in the city looked at the scene in the distance, and their faces were full of panic and anxiety. The children hug their parents tightly to get some sense of security. However, what is incredible. In the face of such a disaster, the civilians of [Da Yan Kingdom] were panicked, but none of them were completely scared. No one screamed in horror. No one fled regardless of everything. Obviously, they probably knew the arrival of this disaster in advance. Moreover, these people have full confidence in their own kings. Seeing this scene, Xia En and others could not help but hold their breath, shocked the scene in front of them. "This is ... Destroy the flood!" But at this moment. [ȫ ] The words never come from. Just like the narration of the theater. "The terrible flood is swallowing all things in the world." "There is nothing to stop it from moving forward." "However, the great and wise salary king had expected the arrival of this day, so I was ready in advance ..." Beyond everyone. The scene where the location of the Dayan Palace was changed, and what happened in history. In the palace. The salary king in history stood at a high place, overlooking the flood in the distance, his eyes were serious and serious. He sighed. "Finally on this day." The salary king ordered the [Black Inflammation Pedestrian] around him. "That''s now, start the ritual!" The words fall. A huge incredible ritual, in the [Dayan Kingdom], or in other words, the entire [Extreme North Land] opens the mighty opening. Just as the [Quanzhi Sage] said in the mouth. The salary king has long known the arrival of the flood of the world and prepared for at least decades. And this ritual at this time. It is the product of the power of the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. Therefore, once it starts, it shows an extremely exaggerated power. Boom Rondon - The vibration of the earth is becoming more severe. Xia En can feel it. A huge ice -cold secret force is transmitted to every corner and branch of this ritual through some special way. Through invisible channels. One node after another is lit one by one. This also represents the complete opening of the entire large formation. Then. Extremely incredible things happened! A dazzling Blu -ray crossed the sky. Immediately afterwards, the whole world fell into a weird silence. All the floods that are in contact with Blu -ray are fixed in an incredible gesture. On the cusp, half of the water splashed into half, and was instantly solidified, maintaining the most impactful shape. The sharp ice crystal flashed with cold light. And soon, such a cold secret force spread from the corner of the flood to all the water bodies. Frozen countless waves into ice crystal forests. This power, rather than frozen, is more like a seal! The flooding foam, which was originally wrapped in the wind, became an ice droplet that was suspended in the air at this moment. Deeply, reflecting strange and charming light. The surrounding air was cold, and each breathing seemed to be inhaling ice. A vast glacier appeared in front of everyone out of thin air. [Da Yan Kingdom] The people in the city looked at the floods that stopped not far away, and the joy of the rest of the life appeared in the eyes. After a short quiet. There was a burst of excitement in the crowd. "The king is successful!" "We survive!" "We prevented this terrible disaster, we saved the whole world!" Men and women hug together and cry with joy. The joyful shouts gathered together. Make the whole city trembling slightly and immersed in the emotion of joy. They are not difficult to understand. Whoever survives such a disaster will be glad from the heart. Not to mention. This disaster may have affected the entire world and became a veritable disaster. But now. It was stopped and seal by the salary king. How can such great achievements not allow the people and the honor of [Da Yan Kingdom]? Look at this scene. Even the people who did not belong to this memory and later generations could not help but feel strong. For the first time in history, the flood of the world was actually printed by the salary king? at the same time. Xia En was very clear. Behind this seemingly simple process is actually the salary king and countless people for decades. It''s like one minute on the stage, ten years off the stage. The manpower, material resources, energy, and those painful sacrifices that are spent, only a few people can know. only. Xia En is more clear. The whole thing is far from the end. Otherwise, there will be no seven -sea world that is subsequently drowned by the sea. There will be no tragedy of the salary king ignited the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. Sure enough. Soon, the sound of [Quanzhi Sage] sounded again like a drama. It''s just this time. His voice brought unobstructed ridicule and pride. "However." "The young salary king did not expect that all his actions were just developing according to the established script." "And he is just the protagonist of this grand tragedy!" "From the beginning, that so -called ritual is a complete trap!" The words have just fallen. The cold wind whistled from the glaciers outside the city. In the direction of the cold wind, it was just getting rid of the [Dan Yan Kingdom] that was destroyed by the flood. At first, there was a thin layer of mist in the air. Immediately afterwards, the mist spread quickly, where the temperature dropped sharply. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Bingjing spreads around at a speed visible to the naked eye. The people of [Da Yan Kingdom] looked at the scene in surprise, and the exhaled heat instantly became white frost and fog. "What is going on?" "What happened?" "Okay ... so cold ..." [Extreme North] It was originally a place for bitter cold. It is only because of the flames of the salary king and the steam technology in the city, so that the people no longer need to endure the coldness of the cold. But now, the coldness that swept comes, but the coldest period of impression of the most impressed. Immediately afterwards. Among the towns closest to the edge of the city, several [Dan Yan Kingdom] Zumin was quickly frozen by this cold wind. Their pauses paused, as if they were pressed on the pause keys. Other people, the expression fixed in the cold wind. The look in the eyes was too late to change, and was swallowed by the cold silence. In the air, the birds were frozen in the flying, maintaining the posture of the wings, as if inlaid in the transparent ice. From several civilians, to a whole town, they all turned into such frozen ice sculptures. Their gaze was also fixed at the moment they looked at the distance. And such a frozen town, at the time, at the time, the scene that Xia En saw under the cold sea was generally the same. In the past and the future, I use such memory scenes to connect. Da Yan Royal Palace. The salary king in memory quickly realized the abnormality of the situation, and his expression suddenly became extremely dignified. "This is" Soon, there were [Black Yan Walker] came to report. "Not good, king!" "The power of the ritual has begun to get out of control." "It not only freezes the flood, but also to put the entire [Da Yan Kingdom] into the forever freezing!" "And, even the researchers at the institute can stop that ritual." Hearing these words, the salary king in memory changed, but he still tried to keep calm. "That ritual really has a problem!" "Start the spare plan, send all the [Black Flamers], and let the people hide in the shelter as soon as possible!" "Yes, king!" After getting the command. All [Black Yan Pedestrian] came out of the nest and rushed towards each of [Dan Yan Kingdom]. The salary king himself also turned into a burning fireball, rushing towards the frontiers of [Da Yan Kingdom], that is, the direction of the cold wave. At this time, the words of [Quanzhi Sage] sounded again. "Next, it''s all unrelated pictures." "I''m too lazy to explain for you." "In short, the salary king failed to get rid of his established destiny, and he could not stop ... [Da Yan Guo] was frozen by the rituals he set by himself!" [ȫ ] It seems that the next picture is optional. So, with his words sounded. The memory scene in front of everyone changes rapidly like a sudden accelerated image. In the luminous light and shadow. Only see that the salary king seems to use his flames again and again to resist the cold wave. But all this is just futile. He could not stop the cold from spreading towards the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. After all, no matter how strong the salary king is, after all, it is just a person. The rituals he set up were all over the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. When the seal was destroyed the flood, such rituals naturally played a wonderful effect. When it became a thing that frozen [Dan Yan Kingdom], the lethality it could cause was it blocked by a person? Wait until the fast advance in memory scene stops. It appeared in the eyes of everyone. It is a completely frozen [Dayan Kingdom]. The whole city is silent, without the hustle and bustle of the past, and only frozen loneliness and despair, as if the end of the world has come. The salary stood lonely in the center of the city, exuding the hot flames, but could not disperse this bone cold. The expression on his face was even more unprecedented, as if he had lost all hope. For him, time seemed to have lost its meaning, every minute and every second were suffering. But obviously. The pain of the salary king did not end. [ȫ ȫ ] The ironic laughter sounds again. "Look, this is the hero who saved the world, the king of people praised!" "As a result, he didn''t even guard his country." "However, what he wants to face next is the real despair." Next moment. Not far around the salary king. A civilian who was frozen into ice sculptures suddenly changed strange changes. His frozen flesh quickly transformed into countless small ice crystals, and then the facial features on his face began to disappear, turning into a smooth ice crystal. Click ... click ... This ice sculpture moved again. But it is a way that the salary king never wants to see. In a blink of an eye. It has become the ice crystal monster that Xia En has seen, [Extreme North]! The salary king in memory suddenly shrank. Just a short moment. He saw the dirty secrets carried on this monster, as well as some weird dishonesty The words spit out from the mouth of the ice crystal monsters are even more lost in the salary king. "king" "So cold ... I''m so cold ..." "Wang ... Come and save me ..." Perhaps it is because of the pollution. This ice crystal monster also maintains the sense of human reason and can speak relatively clear words. But this is the case, the more it is unacceptable, While making such a mourning, it walked towards the salary king. Such a scene almost clicked out the last heart of the salary king. And then. It is the second and third ... The terrible dirty secrets are passed on to [Da Yan Kingdom] through the cold ice crystal as the medium. Just then. The figure of [omnipotomant] appeared in front of the salary king. This is not the [Quanzhi Sage] of later generations. Instead of the history of that year, he had done such a thing. Looking at the despair on the face of the salary. [All -knowledge sage] The beautiful face showed an extremely evil and satisfactory smile. "[Da Yan] king!" "What I want to see is your expression like this ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 410 Let me end all of this Chapter 410, I will end all of this "[ ȫ ] ..." Looking at the man who came from where he came from, the salary king in this memory did not launch a fierce attack on him like him later. And just glanced at him confused and empty, as if he had disappeared. At this moment, the salary king. It is very similar to Augustine that lost the fleet that year. Both kings have lost their most important and cherished things. Moreover, such heavy casualties also appeared because of their decisions and behaviors. even The situation of the salary is even more miserable. Augustine only lost his own black sail fleet, but his [Pirate Principality] still existed, and there were twelve apostles that followed him. But the now -paying king is even the entire country has fallen into eternal ice. It can be said that he has lost everything! So it is like the original Augustine. Mainness is greater than death. It is the most realistic portrayal of the salary king now. For him, what about the success of the revenge from [Quanzhi Sage]? [Dayan Kingdom] will not be restored to the original appearance. His people could not die. And at this time. Xia En, who was watching all this, realized a problem. The current salary king has fallen into a very similar situation as Augustine. Is this itself ... really a coincidence? Shan vaguely remembers. At that time, after Augustine defeated, the enemy clearly killed him as soon as possible. But the other party did not do so, but gave Augustine a chance again and again, until it completely defeated his confidence. In the end, he returned to [Pirates Principality] at any time. This behavior is like playing with the pirate king of Augustine, and he is happy with his misery and despair. At this moment, just like the time. The salary king is also played between the palms of the stocks. [Quanxiaxian] did not directly kill the salary king, but let the living salary king bear long regrets. There are too many similarities between the two. So that Xia En is hard to think deeper. I want to come now. Augustine challenged [Deluctance], there are many doubts in itself. As a outer god, how can you appear in [Seven Sea World]? Still found His position by Augustine? Still saying. That is just a projection of [Dirty Destiny]. There is also a possibility. The existence of Augustine challenged is actually not [Delicate], but a person who disguised as it. For example ... The [Quanzhi Sage] in front of you? This guess is a bit incredible at first glance, which is a bit ridiculous. But combining all the information at the moment is a very reasonable speculation. Just then. [Quanxian Sage] But he said with a devil -like confusion. "The king of [Da Yan Kingdom], in fact, your people did not die, but retained some vitality." "You ... do you want to save them?" Hearing this, the salary king''s eyes suddenly burned a faint light. But soon, the light light was dim. Although the salary king was desperate, he did not completely lose his mind. He is very clear that the [Quanzhi Sage] in front of him is the culprit that leads to [Da Yan Kingdom]. The words he said at this time would never be a good reminder. And it is more likely to be a larger trap. but. Even if the salary king did not ask questions, [Quanzhi Sage] still said. "Let me tell you." "The method of rescue your people is very simple." "That''s ..." "Burn your ritual you set with your flame." "At that time, the power of flames will be transmitted to [Danyan Kingdom] through rituals to liberate them from the frozen state." "How is it, is it very simple?" Hearing the words, the eyes of the salary king had a little fluctuation again. He raised his head and asked hoarsely. "So, what is the price?" [ȫ ] Hehe smiled: "Good question." He did not hide and answered directly. "The price is simple, that is ..." "You have a hard -to -seal flood, and there will be a part of it will break out." "Sweeps other parts of the world, drowns those kingdoms and the mainland." [ȫ ] Staring at the salary king, a exaggerated and twisted arc was pulled at the corner of the mouth, and the sound was unspeakable and evil. "[[Dayan Kingdom] Zimin, the life of the innocent people in the world ..." "You, which side will you choose?" "I look forward to this." [Quanzhi Sage] While talking, he paced around the salary king. Like a poisonous spider with a large network. What he said in his mouth was even more attentive. "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to remind you." "You don''t have much time to hesitate." "As long as it is more than half an hour, your people will be completely invaded by [Dirty Secrets]." "It can no longer become the original appearance." Then, [Quanzhi Sage] said he said insidiously. "You should have seen it?" "After being contaminated by [Dirty Secrets], their physical body will maintain this state permanently without rotting or disappearing." "And those souls in the body are actually sober." "That is to say." "They are now watching what you do." "If you don''t save them." "Your people will be kept in such distorted and cold bodies, and you will never be liberated." "Until the end of time!" These words made the original salary king set off a fierce wave again. On the one hand, it is the [Dayan Kingdom] that is trapped in frozen and transformed into a dirty monster. On the other side, he has made him for decades of goals. It is also the life of countless innocent people in the world. On both sides of the day, no matter which one is, there is a lot of weight, so that people cannot abandon the other party. And now. The salary king was forced to choose one from the two, and his depressed mood at this time can be imagined. He asked hoarsely: "Why do you do this?" [ȫ ] Answer with a smile. "I have already said, I just want to see your amazing genius, which is completely desperate." "Whenever you show such expressions, I am intoxicated like drinking honey wine." The salary king said coldly: "You are really a downright lunatic!" [ȫ ] Laughing again: "Thank you for the puzzle." "Then how do you choose now?" The salary king''s brows were locked, and his eyes were full of pain and struggle. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was swallowed by endless silence. The salary king looked around. Those who turned into an ice sculpture [Dayan Kingdom] as if they were watching him through the frozen ice layer. That look like a sharp acupuncture, stabbing Wang Rusang on his back. It was like a layer of shackles that trapped him tightly. But gradually. The eyes of the salary gradually became firm. "Since all this is because of me, it should also end all of this from me." After that, the salary king turned and walked towards the corner of the city. Not long. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! The hot and bright flames burned in the city and quickly spread towards the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. The firm ice shrouded in the entire city also began to melt rapidly. Seeing this scene. The [Quanzhi Sage] in history suddenly laughed. "Hey! He believed it! He believed it!" "He really thought those civilians could still be restored to the original?!" "No, salary king, you can''t save anything!" I saw that the [Dayan Kingdom] from the ice layer, although the original appearance was temporarily restored. However, the [Dirty Secrets] in the ice have completely penetrated into their bodies and regardless of their flesh. Blink. The body of several civilians suddenly changed suddenly Some have countless white long hair. Some bones make a creepy "click" sound, like a pair of invisible giant hands arbitrarily distorted, which twists into another strange attitude. In addition, even the slippery tentacles spread, weird creeping. They rammed across the streets of the town, destroyed wildly, and screamed in the non -human roar. The sound seemed to come from the abyss of hell, making the people hearing cold. but. The salary seemed to have expected this situation long ago. He seemed to know that the people who were infected by [Dirty Secrets] could not recover into the original appearance. And what he has done now is to liberate them from this torture. This is also the fire that burned the [Da Yan Kingdom] afterwards. But suddenly. Xia En thought of another thing. In the previous memory scene, the people of [Da Yan Kingdom] maintained the posture that humans should have, and did not transform into such dirty creatures. I want to come now. This is most likely because they lose their memory as a monster. Or. In the cognition of [Da Yan Kingdom], their state is normal and has not mutated. Therefore, the memory presented is the previous look. at this time. [ȫ ] Showing may be the truth of history. As the flames of the salary were burning and boiling, it spread towards the entire country. [Da Yan Kingdom] outside. The big flood, which was originally imprisoned by Jianbing, began to loosen gradually. The hot fire light fiercely collided with the ice layer. Suddenly, the entire world was lit up by this sudden conflict, and the dazzling fire was intertwined with the cold blue light. The outbreak of dazzling light and shadow effects. Under the baking of the fire, the ice layer made a cracking sound of "crackling". More and more water bodies recovered the flowing attitude and rolled towards the distance. Seeing this, many legendary strong men dumbly lost their voice. They all understand what this scene means. In order to let his people be relieved, the salary king reappeared the flood that had been sealed. - This is exactly the same as Xia En''s conjecture! And this leads to [Seven Sea World] to be submerged by the sea. The countless kingdom and creatures died in the disaster. It also allowed the entire world to enter the post -flood age. "Yes, this is the truth of the matter." [All -known sage] The harsh laughter rang. "Do you think the salary king is the son of heaven? "Hahahaha, it is simply a big gem!" "Wrong! You''re wrong!" "This man is actually a tadpole who slaughtered 70 % of the population in the world." "The sin he committed is much more than me." "And the purpose of his doing this is just to bury his own country!" Although the words of [Quanzhi Sage] stole the concept, making the salary king from the victim. But there was a saying that he did not say wrong. If the salary king does not solve the part of the seal, then the entire world may not be drowned by the flood, and it will not become what it is now. One time. Many legendary strong people look a little complicated to look at the salary king. And this. The salary king did not deny or justify, but said directly. "This is indeed a crime I committed, but I don''t regret it." "If you give me another chance, I will still do this." "Besides, [Quanzhi Sage], there are the back hands you left in that ritual." "Even if I don''t do this, I''m afraid you will set off this flood that swept the entire world?" Seeing the calm look of the salary king. [All -known sage] I feel very boring. "Unexpectedly, until now you can still pretend to be indifferent." "It seems that this thousand years have made you grow a lot." "But what about this next?" With [Quanxiaxian], gently gently. The memory scene in front of the crowd started fast progress again. And the last pause scene. It was the picture of the entire [Dayan Kingdom] burned into a scorched earth. Obviously. This should be the scene after their previous memory scene. But because of the intervention of Edward, Xia En and others, the entire scene has undergone unpredictable changes. I saw, in the [Dan Yan Kingdom] burned. Embers, scorched ruins and corpses that have not yet extinguished. The salary king was sitting alone in the collapsed palace, like a lonely sculpture. It''s like a silent tombstone. At the same time. The souls located in [Da Yan Kingdom] gradually emerged from the ruins. They wrapped in resentment, anger, unwillingness, and gathered together, forming a powerful and weird force. Over the ruins of [Dayan Kingdom], these residual souls are intertwined and entangled with each other, forming a huge, rolling soul vortex. In the vortex, all kinds of light flickered, and there are some indescribable colors. They collided and blended with each other, making a low roar. The narration of [Quanxiaxian Sage] sounded. "It was born in the ruins of [Da Yan Kingdom]. It is an unprecedented terrible undead." "But when it was first born, it was still very weak." "The salary king can completely destroy it now, but he did not do it ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 411 [Acts of great sin! . Chapter 411 [Acts of Great Sin! . In the narration of [Quanzhi Sage]. The salary king looked at the undead [Da Yan] born in front of him, showing a very complicated look. on the one hand. He knew that over time, the undead [Da Yan] would become more and more terrible and stronger. The best time to destroy it is now. But on the other hand. The undead in front of me is the last wreckage of [Da Yan Kingdom] in this world. Eliminating it is equivalent to thoroughly erase the traces left by [Da Yan Kingdom]. This is undoubtedly another harm for the salary king who has already burned [Da Yan Kingdom]. And at this time. The [Quanxian Sage] in history appeared again beside the salary king again. "The king of [Da Yan Kingdom], oh no, maybe it should be called you ... the king of the country?" "Don''t you do it yet?" "Let the undead continue to absorb the residual soul. In the end, I am afraid that there will be a very terrible existence?" "Maybe, it will roll a **** storm for this world." "Do you just look at it like this?" Wang Wang glanced at him coldly. "What do I want to make, have nothing to do with you." "hehe" [All -Knowing Sage] Smiling, full of compassion in his eyes. "It seems that you don''t understand anything now." Just then. A figure wearing a black robe and carrying a crystal coffin behind him, slowly coming from the [Dayan Kingdom] that has become ruined. And see this figure. Xia En''s heart jumped sharply. Of course, he would not admit his mistakes. This black robe man who carried [Eternal Coffin] was Laila! The moment I saw Lela. A little ashamed appeared on the face of the salary. To him. Laila not only informed the arrival of his flood in advance, but also lent him the treasure of [Eternal Coffin], and even the conspiracy of [Quanzhi Sage] was expected in advance. Can finally. I still failed to completely stop the advent of the Da flood, and it hurt [Da Yan Kingdom] to fall into the moment. At this time, Lala seemed to ignore the [Quanzhi Sage] aside, and said to the salary king directly. "Sure enough, even you failed." "In other words, you just can''t be completely successful." "However, this is not your fault." "Everything is just because ... we are in a weaving fate." "Even if you make other choices, you can''t get rid of the tragedy now." "As long as we are still in this world, it is impossible to break away from such a fan cage." Hearing these words, the salary king thought about it. "In other words, it is possible to be out of this world ..." Suddenly, the salary king noticed the breath of Laila, and suddenly realized something. "etc" "Could it be that you have traded with that existence?" "But do that, you will ..." Laila nodded. "Just like you, I have no choice." "This is the only way that may get rid of the established fate." Hearing the dialogue between the two. Most of the people present are full of doubts. Who is this sudden black robe? Why did the salary king talk to it with this attitude? Also, what does the existence in their mouth mean? Don''t say that it is a common legend, even Chan feels a little surprised. It is not difficult to hear from the words of the king. Laila seemed to have traded a strong existence. And this transaction may determine the future of this world? This kind of information has been heard for the first time. at this time. In the history of [Quanzhi Sage], when he saw Laila dare to ignore herself, he couldn''t help but sneer. "You are the elves that spread the prophecy on the mainland?" "I have heard of your business." "I also have to thank you for passing the prophecy and panic to other kingdoms in the world, so there is no need to visit one by one." However, what makes [Quanxiaxian] does not expect. After he spoke, Laila still didn''t look at him even at a glance. It''s like he is just a group of air. In this regard, the [Quanxiaxian] appeared strongly emotional fluctuations than before, and even a little bit disappointed. "Actually dare to pretend to be invisible?" "You are not afraid, I killed you here?" But no matter what [Quanzhi Sage] said, Laila always ignored his existence and continued to tell the salary king. "By the way, I have some words to tell you next." "You must keep in mind in your mind." "Even if you lose other memories, don''t forget these words." Laila''s voice has just fallen. The memory picture in the eyes of everyone suddenly changed into described changes. The scene in front of me suddenly became blurred, as if covering a layer of hazy mist. The clear outline of Laila and the salary king became looming. As for their voices, it seemed to come from far away, becoming far and faint. Can''t hear clearly anyway. What you want to say. It''s like this memory, which was hit with a mosaic, making it unable to spy on others. Obviously. It is not others who really can''t see this memory. It is the [Quanzhi Sage] who claims to be omnipotent! Because he failed to spy on the content of the two. Therefore, the memory of Xia En and others will appear such a disability and gap. Seeing this scene. Xia En and others immediately responded. The so -called [Quanxiaxian] cannot be the real "omnidirectional." There are always some power that can hide his eyes. On the side. The [Quanzhi wise man] who couldn''t hear the content of the two people finally appeared on the face. How much did Xia En guessed the reason why Laila did? He has already seen. This [Quanxiaxian] is an obvious performing personality. He is not afraid of the jealousy, hatred, and anger of others. - Or, that is the purpose he wants to achieve. He attempted to use exaggerated performances to make others have a strong emotion to him, so as to draw on the power of sin. And this. Laila''s response method is ... Ignore! Ignore his performance and behavior, but it will make it difficult to accept [Quanxiaxian]. It''s like he carefully planned a grand performance, but in the end, no one appreciated, and naturally it would make him angry. But at this time. Later generations of [Quanzhi Sage] did not feel embarrassed, just said. "At that time, I was really angry because of such a trick." "But if you want to come now, it''s not a big deal at all." "No matter what they say, it is impossible to get rid of my control." "And, the focus of the matter is not this." "Guess, what happened to the salary king after that?" Speaking. The vague memory scene has become clear. Moreover, Laila, who had previously stood by the salary king, and the [eternal coffin] around her, were all disappeared. At this point. Although the look of the salary king still has a touch of grief and sadness, there is a clear light in her eyes. This means that now he has a clear goal. Even if the final result is still unknown, at least, he has a direction. immediately. The salary king looked at [Da Yan], which was gathered not far away. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! In this undead, countless souls are ups and downs. Their faces were painful and embarrassed, their bodies were dark, their mouths were big, and they roared silently. These residual souls entangled and collided with each other, forming a huge, chaotic vortex, and constantly surging. It seems that it will break the restraint at any time and spread to the surroundings. Looking at such a scene, there was no fear in the eyes of the salary king. That''s all the people he cherish! How could he feel afraid? Immediately afterwards, the salary king stretched out his hand towards [Da Yan]. Those dead souls began to subconsciously bare his flesh. at the same time. The salary king''s viscous blood is also infiltrating the interior of [Da Yan], conveying his strength and will. This is both a seal and a unique ritual. "Sorry, I have eaten again." "Black inflammation, I can''t get you into the eternal sleep." "I ... need your help!" "After thousands of years, please wake up and find me!" "Together with me, save this world!" With the whisper of the salary king, among the chaotic [Da Yan]. The souls of the black inflammation walkers seemed to be inspired by the meditation, and lowered their heads towards the salary king, as if expressing their own surrender. Even if they are dead, their souls still have awe and loyalty to the salary king. Later. The breath of [Da Yan] gradually subsided, and sank under the glacier, so that it was dormant and sleepy. After thousands of years, [Da Yan] wake up with the black inflammation walker. That''s what happened later. In this way, Xia En and Jane''s guess on the Black Yan walker finally confirmed. Those black inflammatory walkers who live now are actually just the dead soul of the wake -up of the salary king. What surprises people is. Facing the actions of the salary king, there is no reaction to [Quanzhi Sage]. Just watched the salary king finished it. But it is obvious. [Quanxiaxian] Doing this is not because of sympathy or humanitarian care. But just because ... In his opinion, no matter how hard the king has made, it is futile. The struggle and struggle of the salary king are just adding a little fun to this game. Even [Quanzhi Sage] will show what happened in these history for Xia En and others at this time, and it is because of the same mentality. He laughed towards everyone. "Look, this [Dayan Kingdom] king not only does not have the most suitable time to eliminate the neck of [Da Yan]." "Also control your subordinates'' residual souls to prevent them from getting rest." "How are this strict and cruel atrocities!" "Last last ..." "This king finally realized who his enemies were, and launched a challenge to him." "However, all this is just futile." [ȫ ] The words fell. The salary king in memory immediately bombarded the [Quanxian Sage] beside him. The salary king was the nine -order strong in the [Seven Sea World]. Right now is hate. The power is naturally strange. The bear -bear fire danced in the air, like an angry fire dragon, whistling towards the [Quanzhi Sage] on the opposite side. "Huh, just use your flames, do you want to compete with me?" [ȫ ] Haha laughed: "It''s simply self -impatient!" He did not hide or flash, and raised his hand, and a black mist spman instantly, devouring the flame of the salary king. Chan''s pupil suddenly shrinks. He saw that in those fog, it also contained pure malice and sin, as if it was a collection of seven sins. Obviously. [Quanxiaxian] not only can swallow human sin, but also use it as a means of fighting. The salary king did not depend on, and launched a fierce attack again and again. However. No matter how fast his flames and the power of burning, but when it falls on [Quanzhi Sage], he will be swallowed by the weird mist. "Come on, a little angry, hate me a little bit more!" [ȫ ] Looking at the expression of the salary king, it showed a very satisfactory smile. It''s like ... In his eyes, the salary king was a sweet and full fruit, and finally went to maturity today. The salary king in this memory may not be seen. But at this time, everyone on the Seven Sea was aware of it. In this battle. [ȫ ] It seems to deliberately provoke the emotions of the salary king, and draws on the power in those "resentment" and "anger". This is exactly the same as the situation observed by Xia En before using the "Pupil of the Secret". What makes everyone more worried is. In this battle, the salary king actually fell into the wind! He launched an attack again and again, and was defeated again and again. Weiyan''s body gradually became incomplete, and some injuries were too late to cure, and it became more serious. His blood was almost all over the ruins, and the flesh and blood fragments collapsed everywhere. The battlefields of the two came from [Da Yan Kingdom] to the ice. finally. After a suffocating time. The salary king fell. But even so, [Quanzhi Sage] still has not killed him. Instead, the wasting body of the salary king sinks into the ice sea, until it sinks into the deepest floor. After reading this memory, Yaqu is silent in the field. The strength of [Quanxiaxian] exceeds all their expectations. Even the salary king is not his opponent, who else can defeat him? Just then. Later generations of [Quanzhi Sage] mocked the salary king. "Don''t you understand yet?" "In front of me, you are just a clown in this absurd farce, a poor doll who has been fiddled with fate!" "The reason why I let you go, just want to make this game more interesting." Suddenly, Xia En said. "You ... are the apostles of [Dian Di]?!" [Quanxian Sage] Turning his head and glanced at him: "Your eyes are really interesting." "To this day, I don''t need to hide it anymore." "Yes, I am the **** of [Dianzhi]." "My real name is ... [big crime]!" (This chapter is finished) Chapter 412 [Promotion legend! . Chapter 412 [Promotion Legend! . [Dirty Disciples] Honestly, Xia En is no stranger to such existence. At the time, when the [God''s Wrath] incident occurred on the [Emerald Island], Xia En had encountered the existence of self -proclaimed [Dirty Acts]. At that time, Xia En and Yan Yan successfully defeated it after experiencing difficult battles. However, the [Dirty Apostles] at that time did not seem to be His body. More like the other party''s projection and avatar on the [Qihai World]. Moreover, there is some obvious difference between He and the [big crime apostle] in front of him. Obviously. [Filial Destiny] [Dirty Apostles] under his hands are not just one! And the [Apostle of the Great Sin] in front of him is a [Dirty Apostle] who personally entered [Seven Sea World]! His purpose is obvious, to help [Dianzhi] and harvest the power of the [Seven Sea World]. Think about it. [Filial Destiny] Taking the power of dirty power for food. The [Acts of the Great Sin] is based on human sin. The two themselves have a certain relationship. And when [Di Di] set off a big flood in [Seven Sea World]. In addition to the power of messyness, the desire and instinct of human nature will also be in a state of extreme excitement. It happens to be absorbed by both of them. Think deeper. [Apostle of the Great Sin] The purpose of establishing the [Truth Council] may not be simply. The most outstanding scientists and geniuses on the Seven Seven Sea may achieve the evil purpose of [the big crime apostle] in the subtle way. [Truth Council] The reason why the later atmosphere becomes so extreme, even to the point of crazy. It is likely to be related to this [big crime apostle]. but. Even if it is a member of the Truth Council, it is very likely that I do not know the true identity of [Quanxiaxian]. so. When they learned that they would stop the Seven Sea Federation from eliminating [Da Yan], there would be so many [Truth Council] members expressed their objections. The owner in the [String Law Puppet] was also the [big crime apostle]. This uses the way similar to spiritual control to change the thinking of those [Truth] members. As a result, the only sober people in the [Truth Council]. Either, it is cleared directly in the physical sense. Either, he was beaten with ideological steel prints and became the accomplice of [Apostle of the Great Sinful Apostles]. It is different from those who have exposed to [Dirty Apostles] in advance. Most of the legends present have never heard of this existence. but. They all learned from the salary king''s mouth that [Dian Di], the outer god, also knew that He was the culprit of this flood. The [Quanzhi Sage] at the moment is actually the apostle of this outsider. Or, dependents? And, He has been dormant for at least thousands of years in [Seven Sea World]. Such facts will undoubtedly have a huge impact. Looking at the many legendary shocking eyes, [the big crime apostle] appeared on the face with an extremely intoxicating look. "Yes, that''s it." "No matter how many times I feel, your shock, anger and fear always make me want to stop ..." "The [Truth Council] that you hate and fear was founded by me." "The plan for taboos and copying the strong in history is also made by me." "I gave that weird ritual, [Da Yan Kingdom] was destroyed by me." "By the way." "Even the targets of Augustine''s challenges were not real [Divine Destiny], but me who carried His power!" Having said that, the [Apostle of the Great Sin] even showed a regret. "Unfortunately, before I reveal this truth to Augustine, he is dead." "It is regrettable to see him showing a shocking expression again." This series of terrifying truths made the people in the field again. A legendary strong could not help asking. "What is your purpose of doing these things?" "Purpose?" [The Apostle of the Great Sin] Slightly missed his head, and asked with some doubts. "Do you need these things?" "This is just because I want to do this." "Even if there is no order from my master, I will do this." He paused and continued. "What you want to say." "That''s ... Whenever I see the so -called strong and geniuses, I constantly struggle in front of me, showing the ugly state of despair and fear." "I feel physically and mentally unable to extricate myself!" "This kind of play with others, especially those who are extraordinary, give them the feeling of hope to make them completely desperate, it is really wonderful." Speaking, the corner of the [The Apostle of the Great Sin], once again outlined a distorted and exaggerated smile. Everyone can see. His words are not lies, but enjoying this process sincerely. Hearing these words. In the hearts of everyone present, a strong sense of absurdity was given. They felt a pure maliciousness from the words of [Acts of the Great Sin]. That is no reason to treat all human beings and the entire world. In those myths and legends, the natural evil devil is probably that. There is no doubt. The man in front of him is a downright lunatic! His soul may have been broken one day in the past, thus becoming now. and. It was such a lunatic who actually planned [Seven Sea World] several disasters. Even Augustine and the salary king were played between applause! Such facts will inevitably make it difficult for everyone to accept. And at this time. [Acts of the Great Sin] Pouring all the truth of this truth. Xia En was unexpectedly understood. He used to be quite strange about one thing. That is-- In some movies, novels, or TV series, the villain was obviously in an absolute advantage, but he refused to kill all the protagonist group as soon as possible. Instead, he took the initiative to the protagonist group, and the journey of his own way. Or, the whole conspiracy plan. The waste of this gave the protagonist''s chance to defeat. There is also a very classic phenomenon. It is called a villain died in a lot of words. But Xia En wants to come now. In addition to the motivation of the screenwriter explaining the villain, this phenomenon also has a more important reason. That is, the villain itself also needs to use this way to vent its emotions! They worked hard for decades for a certain goal, and naturally they needed "audiences" to witness their last success. Otherwise. What is the difference between Jinyi Night Walk? There is no doubt. Those protagonists who do against themselves and try to hinder themselves are the best goals. These deaths can not only satisfy the villain''s desire, and reveal the secrets of buried in their hearts for so many years. No need to worry about the news leaked. and. They were anger, fear, and shock when they learned the truth. It will also become the success of the villain''s great success, making the taste of this victory more wonderful. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] At this time, the mentality is similar to it. However, the slightly different is. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] The desire is the feeling of teasing the salary king. The reason why he dare to do this is naturally because he has the absolute advantage. Because the [Apostle of the Great Sin] is the existence of [Seven Sea World]. Therefore, his true strength is difficult to measure with the standard of [Seven Sea World]. However, from history, it is not difficult to see the defeat of Augustine and the salary king. The rank of [big crime apostle] is at least above the ninth level! Think of this. Xia En''s mood suddenly fell into the valley. No matter how crazy and abnormal the [Apostle of the Great Sin]. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Power, after all, is the fundamental of a secret passion. As long as he has the power of the entire seven sea, many legends present can not shatter his conspiracy. Just then. The gaze of [The Apostle of the Great Sin], looking around the people present, showing a distorted smile again. "You might as well guess, what should I do next?" Speaking, [the apostle of the big sin] extended his hand forward. The [Dayan] below immediately burned a dark flame. At first, it was just a little scattered star fire. But soon, the dark fire began to spread to [Da Yan]. Where the dark flames go, the memory scene of [Da Yan] becomes fragmented, and gradually reveals the scene outside of [Da Yan]. At the same time, the countless undead in [Da Yan] was also swallowed and assimilated by the dark fire. A residual body began to decompose in the flame and turn into its nutrients. And under such a dark fire. Everyone saw it. [Da Yan], the glacier on the [Extreme North] has gradually melted! Glacier is constantly turning into seawater and pouring into the ice sea. From the trickle, quickly evolved into the river of Tao Tao, making the nearby seawater violent surging. Seeing this scene, everyone present changed his face. They realized the intention of [Acts of the Great Sin]. He actually wanted to control the power of [Da Yan], ignite the glacier of [Extreme North], and completely liberated a part of the big flood that the salary king had sealed. As a result, the advent of the second disaster! at the same time. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] Laughing wildly. "The last node you are looking for is either someone else or me!" "Next, I will let you watch the world be drowned again by the sea again." "Finally, let you die completely in despair!" "If you want to stop this second time, come and try to kill me." " - If you can do it." The words have just fallen. The salary king turned into a whistling flame, and went towards the [Acts of the Great Sin]. Not only him, all the legendary strong men present also made his real killing tricks. Musa pushed forward. A dazzling light was sprayed out of his palm. Where the light is through, the darkness is quickly melted like ice and snow. The light column contains endless sacred power, as if it can purify all evils in the world, falling on the body of [Apostle of the Great Sin ". The Thunder dominated a drink, a huge purple lightning electricity went straight down from the clouds, and fell accurately in his hands. He held lightning with both hands, as if holding the power of the entire world. Next moment. The Thunder Spear stabbed towards the chest of [The Apostle of the Great Sin]. Mr. Hayler slowly raised his hands, and a low sobbing sound came from the air, as if it was the sorrow of countless injustice. His eyes lit a weird glow, and he thought of words in his mouth. A black vortex slowly formed in front of him, and the vortex faintly shined with palpitated blood. Suddenly. The dark vortex appeared in front of [Big Sin Apostle] ... Everyone knows that at the moment, it is the moment when the fate of the world is decided. Do nt use full strength at this time, when is it? But among the many secrets, Xia En did not do it, but was in an extremely abnormal and mysterious state. The countless information passed from his eyes just like the waterfall. [You learned about the truth of history from the mouth of the "Apostle of the Great Sin"! . [The density of "The Mystery of Destroyer Destruction" is 100%! . [The density of "Mystery of Truth" 100%! . [The density of "Augustine Dead" is 100%decisive! . [You get a gift from "hidden"! . [Professional fit: 100%! . [Start promotion ... Seventh -order legend! . With the flashes of many prompts, a huge force poured into Xia En''s body and washed his soul. He was roar in his mind, and then fell into the dark and unknown dark space. That is-- Secret Hai! After the familiar feeling of falling continued. Xia En opened his eyes again. What appeared in front of him is the vast and beautiful scene of countless stars and lumines. But at this time. Xia En''s mood was not particularly excited, but had strong concerns and anxiety. The promotion of legends is all happy. But the current situation is. Adding a new legend will not have much impact on the entire battle. Even if Chann is arrogant, he will not think that he has just broke through the legend and has the ability to defeat the [Apostles of the Great Sin] over the ninth level. Even in the process of promotion. He stayed in the body of [Seven Sea World] and may be affected by the war. Such a situation made him unhappy. In fact. Facing the World War I of the Great Sinful Apostle. It can be said that Xia En faced the most difficult and desperate battle. The huge level gap made him difficult for him to play a role in this battle. Even Xia En once became the burden of the salary king. This experience is the first time for him. [Acts of the Great Sin] The memory clip of the repression of the salary king is even more shocking. With Xia En''s firm will, he couldn''t help but have some pessimistic thoughts. "Can we really win this battle?" And at this moment. There was a gentle voice sounded in the [Sea of ??the Secret]. It passed into his ears like a gentle spring breeze. "Captain Xia En, don''t give up." "The hope of victory is on you!" Xia En looked up sharply. I saw a shadow that he could never forget, and was slowly walking towards him from the stars. (This chapter is finished) Chapter 413 [Lailas message] [The method of killing Chapter 413 [Laila''s Message] [Method of Destroyer Crime] At this moment. The figure appeared in [Secret Sea] was Laila! But at this time Lela is very different from her impression. The elf girl in front of her face is still beautiful, which is the most perfect masterpiece in the world. Each outline is like the artwork carefully carved by heaven. In the glory of [Secret Sea] countless stars, it is shining, as if brilliant than the Fantasy Star River in the distance. However, Xia En noticed again. Laila''s body was shrouded in a seemingly fog. Those fog with an indescribable atmosphere, extremely mysterious. What you want to say. It was a kind of chaotic and confused atmosphere, as if it was unable to be explored. Under the shroud of this fog, Laila''s face and figure have become a little blurred. Seems to be close to the eyes, but it seems like an unable to cross. And carefully observe Laila''s body at this time. Her hem and arms are aggregated by many mysterious starlight. Stars embellish her hair ends. Liuguang became her decoration. The whole body is no longer a weak flesh and blood, but transformed into another mysterious form, which is similar to those [secrets] in the distance. Obviously. This is not the real body of Laila. And more like a shadow left by her in some special way, it is used to convey some extremely important information. But inexplicable. Xia En felt that Laila''s state was familiar at this time, as if he had seen it. After thinking a little. Xia En suddenly woke up. When Lala''s face was blocked by the fog, it was very similar to Vivian on the [Black Swan]! "This is" Without waiting for Chan to think deeply, Laila said. "Captain Xia En, since you can see me here." "It means that you have broken through the seventh -order barriers and launched promotion to the legend." "Only by breaking through the legend can we slightly get rid of the restraint of the original [Secret Realm] and have the power that can affect the [Secret Hai]." "And our plan, until now, has the possibility of realizing the front line." plan? Is possible? Xia En is still a little confused. He faintly guessed that Laila seemed to be arranged a big game. Including the extermination of the extermination, the existence of [instantaneous time], and the so -called transaction ... They are part of this plan. But from the perspective of Xia En. It is just the scales of the overall situation, and it cannot be seen. And on the other hand. Right now, [the apostle of the big sin] clearly rely on his own strength to force many legendary strong men on the Seven Sea. Can this gap in power really make up through other means? Laila obviously noticed Xia En''s doubts and continued. "Now, you should have learned the true identity of [Quanzhi Sage]." "And, he did those purpose of those things." "But there is one thing you don''t know, that''s ..." "[Filial Destiny] How did this set off this flood." Xia En stunned. He has really never considered this issue. For a long time, he thought it was some special ability of [Dian Di]. after all. As a mysterious and powerful outer god, [Filial Fate] has an incredible ability, it seems to be understandable. Laila continued to explain. "If you can easily invade other [Secrets] and destroy other worlds." "So, the order in the entire [Secret Sea] will undoubtedly become extremely chaotic." "Those weak [secrets] have also been plundered and destroyed by the greedy foreign gods, and it cannot be retained at all." "This kind of thing is unacceptable by [Great Law]." "The nature of the law is order!" "Although, even if I am now, I don''t know how [Great Law] was born." "But I know that all the creatures born in [Secret Sea] need to follow the rules of [Great Law]." "Even the gods like [Dian Di] are no exception." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. indeed. If [Different Destiny] can really enter and exit [Qihai World] at will. He can use other more efficient ways to harvest the power of the world. There is no need to send a dirty apostle at all, and to do those things with a lot of things. on the other hand. The [The Lord of Billion Gel "in Charne''s impression is just to descend the gods to [Seven Sea World] in some way. And did not really come to this world. This undoubtedly proves Laila''s point of view from the side. Laila''s words paused and continued. "Captain Xia En, I dont know if you have heard of it ... [World Barrier] and [World Will]?" "Or, the barriers and will of [Secrets]?" "In fact, these two are the last line of defense that hinders [dirty fate] and other gods to invade other worlds." "The will of the [Secret Realm] may not be worth mentioning in front of God." "However, the rules formulated according to the [Great Law]." "After coming to a certain [Secret], you will be suppressed by the [Secret Realm] so that they cannot play their real power." "Of course, if some outsiders think, you can also force the will of the world after paying a lot of money." "But for them, this is undoubtedly a loss of money." "They harvest a world''s income, often not as good as the price paid for forcibly suppressing." "Therefore, there are few gods to make this kind of unrestrained move." When Xia En heard the words, he rose into a bright enlightenment. He is naturally familiar with [World Barrier] and [World Will]. When he broke through the fifth level. The promotion trials that have been adopted are to use the assimilation characteristics of [Void Secrets] to break through the invisible [World Barrier]. It was also after that. He unlocked the hidden occupation of [Secret Sea Walker]. These two actually have a hidden causal relationship. If you fail to break through the [World Barrier], Xia En will not walk freely in [Secret Sea]. Can''t be a real [Secret Sea Walker]. And later. In the exploration of [Furnace Secrets], Xia En really felt the existence of [World Will]. [Millet Secret Realm], the particularly obvious doom is the result of [World Will]. In contrast, in [Rhein''s Secrets]. Xia En is like the legendary son of luck. He is so lucky that he is so lucky, and various opportunities continue to benefit a lot. These two different treatments are the embodiment of [World Will]. - From a certain perspective. Xia En, who sneaked into the [Meltry Furnace Secret Realm], is also equivalent to foreign gods from [Secrets]. Seeing Xia En quickly understood what he meant, Laila continued to say. "Because of this." "Even if it is [Dian Di] such a powerful foreign god, you can only invade the [Seven Sea World] through other ways." "And [Quanzhi Sage] or [Apostle of the Great Sin] is the touch of His towards [Seven Sea World]!" "You can understand-" "[The Apostle of the Great Sin] is [Anchor] used to lock in [Seven Sea World]." "Only when this [anchor point] is deeply embedded in [Seven Sea World], [Dianzhi Life] can transmit his strength through him." There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! "In the past, [Emerald Island] [The City of Giant Wood], and the [God''s Wrath] incident in other areas." "In essence, he is constantly consolidating the [anchor point] move." "Shourly creating panic and chaos, let people impress the so -called [God''s Anger]." "This impression itself is a unique [anchor point]." Xia En secretly nodded. In order to open up the transmission ritual of [Furnace Secrets], he also left many special [anchor points]. Laila declined with a decisive conclusion. "Actually." "The reason why the [Apostle of the Great Sin] will be established [Truth] is not only because of some malicious taste." "More likely because ..." "He needs to use this method to assimilate this world!" "The people of [Truth] naturally think he is the people of this world." "And with this perception, spread, plus time to push." "[Seven Sea World] [World Will] will gradually agree with his existence, thereby eliminating the suppression of [World Will]." "Only in this way can [Acts of the Great Sin] can be more perfect to act as the [anchor point] of [Dian Di], and obtain more power from [Divine Destiny]." "It can be said." "[The Apostle of the Great Sin] The reason why they have such a powerful strength is that even Augustine and the salary king cannot defeat." "It''s because he can call the power from [Dian Di]." "The same reason." "Only the [Apostle of the Great Sin] is completely killed, and the [Anchor Point] is fundamentally removed from the [Seven Sea World]." "Only to cut off its connection with [Qihai World], completely liberated this world from his gaze." These words explained the doubts in Xia En''s heart very well. But he didn''t let him feel much. Because, even if you know the method of [Dian Di] [Acts of the Great Sin] invasion of [Seven Sea World]. It cannot change the status quo of the [big crime apostle] to defeat the current situation of other secrets with a crushing attitude. What he really needs is the way to defeat the [Acts of the Great Sin]! And at this time. Laila''s look suddenly became serious. "What I want to say next is the key to whether you can defeat the [big crime apostle]." "One is the connection between His and [Divine Destiny] temporarily." "Also cut off the power transmission between them." "Otherwise, he is equivalent to having unlimited mysteries. Even if he gathers the power of the entire Qihai, it is impossible to defeat it." "The other is ..." "You have to own, and the power beyond [Seven Sea World] can truly kill the [Apostle of the Great Sin]." "The reason is simple." "[The Apostle of the Great Sin], it is not the creature of [Seven Sea World]." "His souls and flesh have adopted the transformation of [Dianzhi]." "Ordinary power is at most that he just falls into a long sleep." "When He wakes up again, [Seven Sea World] The history of being wanton to destroy will repeat it again." Listen, Xia En''s face showed a bit of bitterness. These two conditions are more difficult than one. It is very difficult to find a space to be isolated from [Different Destiny]. As a result, do you have to have the power that does not belong to this world? The salary king''s [old day salary fire] is barely considered one. But [the big crime apostle], he will not stay stupidly to burn the salary king. The difficulty of this battle is still desperate. But at this time, Laila said. "Captain Xia En, in fact, I have prepared these two conditions." "When you say the sentence of when the victory has arrived , he will cooperate with you to close the space that is separated from [Dian Di]." "And the power of killing [Apostle of the Great Sin], it has long been placed on your [Black Swan". " "That power ... can only be reluctant when you are promoted." What to say to the salary king? Is it enough to kill the power of [Big Criminal Apostle], on the [Black Swan]? Hearing the words, Xia En''s heart was shocked. The first thing he thought of was the [eternal coffin] of Wei Wei''an. The coffin came to Xia En''s hands under a series of opportunities. It is obviously hidden, another huge secret. The similarities between Vivien and Laila also made Xia En Yin aware of what. He couldn''t help asking. "Laila, what is the relationship between Vivian and you?" "Where is your body now?" "Also ... why do you know so much?" But at this time. After speaking the words just now, this virtual shadow in front of Xia En seemed to complete his last mission. She looked at Xia En gentle and nostalgic, waved gently. "Xia En, I have made an agreement, I must meet you in the future." "But now, I can''t guarantee that when I meet you, I still don''t have the original myself." "Maybe, I have forgotten you, you can''t recognize me." "But I still have a little weak expectation." "Captain Xia En, if you want to see me again ..." "The one where the elves are located [secret]." "There, I left some marks before leaving." The words fall. Laila slowly closed his eyes, and the light of his body began to flash. Those thin light, like fireflies, scattered from her fingertips, hair, corners, and even every inch of skin. "Laila? Laila!" "Where did you go?" In Chan''s voice, Laila''s body began to become transparent. The original clear outline gradually became blurred, as if it was shrouded in a layer of tulle. Her skin is like a thin ice, with a faint halo under the reflection of light, and eventually turns into countless light spots, dissipating in front of Xia En. Xia En was lost. But soon, his eyes were firm. Xia En knows that now he has more important things to do! (This chapter is finished) Chapter 414 [Seventh -order legend! 】 【Daniel! . Chapter 414 [Seventh -order Legend! Daniel! . As the phantom of Laila dissipated. The secret power that had been ready to go before rushed from the Secret Sea rushes to Xia En''s body. The process of promoting the legend this time was much smoother than he expected. Xia En believed that this breakthrough had to go through a promotion ritual and through the trial task of the secret sea. but. Perhaps it is because Xia En''s accumulation is enough. Or maybe it is because the world will of the Seven Seas World also noticed it. Right now, the life and death of the entire world. Therefore, he provided a little convenience for Xia En''s promotion. With the help of the world''s will, Xia En was able to avoid the process of promoting trials. Immediately afterwards. The countless secrets in the secret sea seemed to have been summoned by some kind of powerful summary, and they gathered towards Xia En, forming a huge vortex. Countless intangible silk threads began to wrap around him. It looks like a cocoon, wraps Chann in it. This process is not painful, but with a strange comfort. In the cocoon, Xia En''s consciousness entered a mysterious state. Time seemed to lose its meaning. He could perceive everything in the sea of ??secrets, but he was like a layer of tulle. Countless crushed pictures emerged in front of Chann''s eyes. He saw the birth of the secret situation and fell, saw the division and reorganization of the mainland, and saw countless lives rising and falling in the river ... Through these scenes, Xia En once again witnessed the existence of [Great Law]! However, it is different from the shocking glance when breaking through the sixth level. This time, he seemed to be able to get closer and deeper to [Great Law]! It was an existence that could not be described in language. He surpasses all known laws and transcends human understanding. He seems to be a huge network composed of countless light spots, and each light spot is a complete universe. He has no fixed form, sometimes like a nebula, sometimes like an infinitely extended river. And weird. At this time, Xia En felt a strange sense of familiarity from [Great Law]. It''s like ... He has been there, always staring at himself, watching everyone! Yes. All the creatures born in the sea of ??secrets are actually under the gaze of [Great Law] from birth to death. This kind of familiarity from the soul comes from this. But soon. Xia En realized that the [Great Law] in front of him seemed to be waiting for? He suddenly woke up. When each legendary strong is promoted, it is necessary to engrave its own brand on the [Great Law]. Only when you leave a trace can you get the recognition of [Great Law], so as to master the power of the law! The imprint left determines the type of the power of the legendary strong. From a certain perspective, they also determine their future potential and upper limit. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but be curious. What kind of law would he give him the brand''s brand left on [Great Law]? Xia En did not hesitate for too long, and directly moved his soul and secret. A brand that belongs to him is gradually formed on [Great Law]. In this faint and mysterious mystery, the cocoon of the secret. Xia En''s body and soul are undergoing a transformation that has never been before. His breath is also sublimating to the new level ... Mowing Mowing at the same time. Above the ruins and the ice sea, the clouds were low, as if even the sky was holding its breath for this battle. "it''s over." [Acts of the Great Sin] Speaking softly, the sound seemed to come from the abyss, with the heart of heartbroken. His figure stands in the center of the broken Dayan Palace, and the black robe is automatic. The sarcasm smile on the strong face with a strong person. And around. From the only ruins left to Dayan, to the glaciers that appeared from the distance. At this time, the state of legendary strong and powerful legendary state was quite miserable. Their weapons were broken, the armor was broken, and blood flowed out of the wound, stained the land under their feet. The air is filled with a strong **** smell, mixed with anxiety, making people disgusting. "Do you think ... can you stop me from this power?" [Acts of the Great Sin] Raise his chin slightly, sweeping those struggling figures, and the ironic smile on his face became stronger and distorted. His voice was not loud, but he hit everyone''s heart like a heavy hammer. Actually. With the strength of [Acts of the Great Sin], you can kill those weaker legends. But he didn''t do so. Of course, it is impossible for good intentions, but because ... [Apostle of Sin] I want them to witness the arrival of the second world-destruction flood with their own eyes, so that they can experience the regret and despair that is clearly the culprit is right in front of them, but cannot be stopped. For him, that expression is undoubtedly the most delicious food. But at this moment. A fiery flame cut through the air, and forced the [Apostle of the Great Sin]. It is the salary king who is shrouded in the flame. A angry flame was burning in his eyes, and the long sword in his hand was as dazzling as the scorching sun. [The Apostle of Sin] He didn''t even look back, but just waved his hand gently. The flame suddenly stagnated less than one meter away from him, and then seemed to be swallowed by some invisible power, and instantly disappeared. "I said, you don''t understand at all ... what is the real power." The sound of [big crime apostle] is low and cold, as if declared an endless ending. "Your struggle is just a futile sorrow." As soon as his words fell, a dark energy burst out from his fingertips, rushing towards the salary king like a poisonous snake. The salary king''s body retreated for dozens of meters, and a deep wound appeared on his waist. The dark blood flowed slowly from the wound. The ability used by [big crime and apostle] is just like his name, which is the seven major sins of human beings. When this secret force penetrates into the body of the secret path, it will continue to amplify their instinctive negative emotions like a toxin. Anger, greed, jealousy, lust... These emotions are buried deep in the human soul, and cannot be given up or escaped. It can be said that they are part of human instinct. Without these "sin", human beings are no longer human. And when [big sin apostles] with them as weapons, the effects caused by them are naturally terrifying. Not far away. The status of Hayler and Mouza is extremely embarrassed, and their breath is much weaker than the beginning of the war. Various "sins" in their minds make it difficult for them to call their secrets normally. Such symptoms are more obvious in Hyle. Mr. Hyle was not a single person, but a collection of countless avatars. The aggregation of the souls of so many avatars will inevitably cause cracks on the soul, leading to certain problems in the spirit. Coupled with the power of [Youyou dominates], it has the characteristics of polluting people''s hearts. Compared with the glory of Hui teaching, it is more biased towards the dark side. The deeper the degree of affected. At this time, under the deliberate control of the [Apostle of the Sin]. On the body of Mr. Hyrene, countless heavy shadows appeared. A similar and different shadow seemed to be split out of his body, dancing wildly, and launching no different attacks on everything around him. It can be said. Mr. Hyle is almost run away under the influence of [Acts of the Great Sin]! Just at this time. There was only a few clear eyes in Hayler, and a decision flashed. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! He opened his mouth difficultly and said to Mouza next to him. "Old man, it seems that I can''t stand it anymore." "But in the end, I can create an opportunity for you." "Next, I will give it to you." The words have just fallen. Mr. Heller''s body seemed to be torn by invisible force, his limbs twisted into unnatural shapes, his joints reversed, and countless wriggling bugs were wandering under his skin. Immediately afterwards, the shadows that teared his body suddenly splitted into four cracked and turned into the unclear dark avatar. These clones cannot see clearly and their bodies are pitch black. Filling with the temperament of faint and madness. However, under the final will of Hyle. The shadow of Youyan did not launch an attack on Mouza and other legends, but rushed towards the [Big Sin Apostles] not far away! The speed of heavy shadows is incredible, and a tentacles are stretched out, as if to drag the [big sin apostle] into endless darkness. The existence of their existence itself is a blasphemy. As if the distorted projection from another dimension, it broke the rules of reality. Faced with such a killing trick, [the apostle of the big sin] also brought a little dignity on his face. "Even if you die, do you have to bite a piece of meat from me?" "It''s really a crazy dog!" "But it''s useless and useless! Your struggle is just futile!" [Act of the Great Sin] With a wave of hand, a black hole -like vortex emerged at the palm of the palm, exuding the power of stinging. It is necessary to swallow the avatars and tentacles together. However, what the [Apostle of Sin] did not expect was. The avatars of Hyllacia decomposed into a quiet large net in the moment, temporarily constrained his body. The secrets in his body were also blocked by this force, and temporarily silent. Seeing this, the eyes of the salary king and others flickered. At this moment, it was the front -line victory created by Hyrene. As soon as Mouza gritted his teeth, he once again urged the only divine power in his body. A strange light sword diameter turned straight to the [big crime apostle]. The salary king temporarily pressed the injury, as if it could burn the flames of all things and whistled out. The ancient books in the hands of the old man also turned to the last page. With the decomposition of this ancient book in the light of the stars. An illusory and real meteor suddenly fell from the sky! Other legends also exhibited the stunts of their respective box bottoms, as if they were enough to destroy the heavenly and destroyed attacks, and attacked the [big sin apostles] together. "boom!" The deafening loud noise seemed to shatter the whole world, shining strong light, and stabbing people could not open. Immediately afterwards, the thick smoke rose like a black monster, and it instantly devoured everything. The strong people held their breath and stared at the cigarettes tightly. "... is it over?" Time seems to solidify at this moment, and every second becomes extremely long. The sound of everyone''s heartbeat was clearly heard on the silent battlefield. Finally, the smoke began to dissipate slowly, as if it was slowly removed by an invisible big hand. The eyes of the crowd were instantly focused on the scattered place of smoke. When the figure gradually became clear, their faces became extremely ugly. [Acts of the Great Sin] Still standing there. I saw a huge gap appeared in his abdomen, several trauma appeared in the body surface, and his face became a little embarrassed because of dust. But everyone can see that [the apostle] did not die. And just two breathing time. Those seemingly serious injuries heal at the speed of visible to the naked eye and disappear quickly. The breath of [The Apostle of the Great Sin] is also rapidly picked up. The secret power in his body seemed endless, which could support such a cost-free recovery. - This is exactly the reason why Laila told Xia En that if he wants to kill the [Big Criminal Apostle], he must first isolate the reason why he connects with [Di Di]. Otherwise, it will be like now. The strong ones such as the salary of the king finally left some injuries on the [big crime apostle]. But in a moment, he recovered his heyday. This situation does not make people feel desperate. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] Looking around, showing a cold smile. "Unexpectedly, you can really surprise me." "But this is just right. A qualified drama should have been a bit unexpected." Hearing the words, everyone''s mood was sinking into the valley. The disappearance of Hayler also means that the victim of the eighth -level eight -level victims in this battle! And even his death could not bring real harm to the [Ambret in the Great Sin]. In the eyes of the legendary eyes, he couldn''t help bringing a bit of despair. They once thought they could defeat this demon. But now, everyone truly realized what a terrifying existence they were facing. "Who else?" "If you don''t shoot again, the flood will come again." [Acts of the Great Sin] Full of jokes in his eyes, his voice echoed over the ruins, as if declared the end of the battle. In the field, the white -haired Moua looked at the salary king and made a decision. "The salary king, let me use my life, and delay you for a while." The salary nodded heavy. The current situation is that only the eighth -order strong can cause harm to the [big crime apostle]. However, at this moment. A change in a breath suddenly caused the expression of King Xin to change slightly. Although this breath is weak, it has a power that cannot be ignored, as if tearing a crack in the darkness. [Acts of the Great Sin] A little meal, turned around, looked at a direction in the crowd, and laughed. "Did you break through the legend in the battle?" "It''s a bit interesting." "But ... what can I do if it is a legend?" Among the crowd. Xia En opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed the mysterious and unpredictable glory. The breath of the whole person is renewed, as if breaking away from a certain shackle and reaching a new level. He didn''t hesitate to drink. "Paying king, when the decisive victory is!" (This chapter is finished) Chapter 415 Vivian Lera? (Happy New Year’s Eve!) Chapter 415 Vivian = Leila? (Happy New Years Eve!) With Xia En''s whisper. A memory deep in Xinwang''s mind was suddenly stimulated. He suddenly remembered what the mysterious powerful man who brought the prophecy said to him before the battle with the [Apostle of Sin]. "King of Fire, what I say to you next is likely to determine the future of this world." "You must keep it firmly in your heart." The self in my memory nodded heavily. "I understand, please tell me." Leila continued, "First of all, I hope you can leave this dead soul [Dayan]." "Seal it temporarily, or put it into a deep sleep." Instead of destroying it directly. Upon hearing this, King of Firewood couldn''t help but show his doubts. "Why?" "If you don''t destroy [Great Flame], it will only expand and become stronger over time, until it is impossible for me to overcome." Leila explained. "Dayan will be an extremely important part of our plan." "On the one hand, it carries [Great Yan Kingdom] and our precious memories." "It will allow people in future generations to know what happened in history." "on the other hand." "Dayan is also the cage and tomb I prepared for that [Almighty Sage]." "Cage?" Hearing this statement, King Xin''s expression changed. "What does that mean?" Leila said without hiding it. "Faced with a special existence like [Dayan], [Omniscient Sage] will never be able to just watch from the side." "Based on what I know about him." "He will most likely take the initiative to enter the [Dayan] and become a part of [Dayan] to master this unprecedented terrible undead." The King of Firewood was secretly shocked. "Integrate with [Dayan] to master this undead?" "[Omniscient Sage], is it so crazy?" Leila sighed softly. "His madness is probably beyond the imagination of you and me." "In fact, I can see that the character of [the omniscient sage] has a strong tendency to self-destruct." "The reason why he became what he is now must be inseparable from the Imperial Simian Ming." "I think deep down in his heart, maybe I hope someone can kill him, right?" At this time, the King of Fire still didn''t understand. "But, in that case, the danger of [Dayan] has increased greatly?" Leila said, This is both a crisis and an opportunity to completely eliminate the [Omniscient Sage]. "When the [Omniscient Sage] combines with [Great Flame], although it can allow him to gain more powerful strength and be recognized by the will of the world, avoiding the suppression of the rules of the [Great Law]." "But equally, he will be completely assimilated with [Dayan]." "As long as [Great Flame] is eliminated, the [Omniscient Sage] will also be destroyed." "This is our only opportunity and our last hope." The King of Fire was silent for a moment, and his mind was filled with thoughts. He understood what Laila meant, but such a plan was extremely risky. [Dayan] itself is an extremely dangerous existence. If it is combined with [Omniscient Sage], it may become more difficult to control. However, he also knew that the threat of [Omniscient Sage] was far more terrifying than [Great Flame]. That existence from outside the Secret Sea has long surpassed common sense. If he is allowed to continue to act recklessly, the entire Seven Seas World will be completely destroyed. "I see." The King of Fire finally spoke, his voice low and firm. "I will act according to your plan, temporarily sealing [Dayan] and waiting for [Omniscient Sage] to fall into the trap." Leila nodded, and then her figure gradually became blurred, as if it would disappear at any time. Finally, a little pity appeared in her eyes when she looked at the King of Fire. That is sympathy for the tragic future of the King of Firewood. But Leila said, "King of Fire, remember, it''s all for the future of the world." No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you have to stick with it. Time returns to the present. The chaotic memories seemed to awaken with a keyword in Xia En''s mouth. The King of Fire quickly woke up and immediately understood what he was going to do now. He turned his head and looked at the [Great Flame] ignited by the black flame below. The black flame twisted and jumped freely like life, constantly swallowing everything around it, emitting a heart-wrenching breath. DayanIt became ragged under that flame. The space outside [Dayan] was revealed. The glacier was collapsing, and the huge ice body slowly slid into the sea, causing huge waves. The sea surface was no longer calm, and the ice was like a broken mirror, reflecting dazzling fire. The sea water fluctuates and surging under the squeeze of ice. The sound of ice breaking echoed in the extreme north, and the cold wind carried water vapor and stirred up over the sea. At the junction of ice and water, there is chaos and turmoil. The King of Sinica knows that now is the last chance. He stood up suddenly, and the burning flames on his body turned into a brilliant gold color. The blood and secret power in the body seemed to be stimulating and burning. And such power faintly echoes some of the existences of the origin of [Dayan]. In those days, King Xin used flesh and blood to feed [Dayan], and naturally buried part of his strength in it. The King of Firewood said softly. "My people, now, I need your strength!" "Please help me in the end!" As soon as he finished speaking, a golden flame was also ignited in the [Da Flame], which was ignited by the black fire. At this last moment, the souls of the people of the [Great Yan Kingdom] chose to believe in their king and provide him with his own strength! Under the call of the King of Fire. Gradually. The golden flame replaced the original black fire. The entire temperament of [Dayan] has also changed from its original deep and weirdness to a little holy and majesty. "Oh? Is this your last resort?" [The Apostle of Sin] Looking at this scene, a small surprise flashed in his eyes. But soon, his expression changed back to contempt and sarcasm. The faith of the [Apostle of Sin] comes from his own power over the entire [Seven Seas World]. In his opinion, no matter what means Xinwang and others use, they can easily deal with it. As he said before It just adds a little fun or two to this drama that is destined to end. Just the next moment. Suddenly, the golden light in [Dayan] suddenly burst out, turning into countless chains, expanding in all directions. Those chains are transformed by the remaining thoughts of countless people [Dayan]. It is also a manifestation of some rules. The golden chains gradually formed a closed space. It was like a huge cage that locked the [Apostle of Sin] and everyone present. at the same time. In the chaos of ice and sea, a ship was roaring towards Xia En and others. The hull is as dark as the night, in sharp contrast with the pale glaciers around it, like an elegant black swan sliding across the broken mirror. The bow of the ship broke through the ice and made a low roar. The ice cubes shattered on the side of the ship, splashing crystal water. The sails roared in the cold wind, and the frost condensed on the mast flashed in the sun. It is [Black Swan]! In the distance, the roar of the glacier collapse came faintly, as if playing a magnificent background music for its voyage. [Black Swan] On this sea of ??ice intertwined with ice and fire, it looks small and tough, carrying the mission of saving the world, and is quickly approaching the sea where [Dayan] is located. finally. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! When the golden cage is about to be fully closed. [Black Swan] Like a black lightning, it cut through the chaos of ice and fire, and rushed into the cage made of golden flames. The hull passed by the golden chain, stirring up bursts of hot sparks, as if announcing its arrival. "Captain Shane!" On the deck, Joey shouted loudly, his voice piercing through the howling of flames and the icy wind. "We''re here!" Shane looked at Joey and others on the deck, his lips slightly raised, showing a hint of relief. Despite the critical situation, he knew that he was not alone. His crew, his ships, and other powerful men from the seven seas were with him. soon. Shane''s eyes fell on An and Vivian beside Joey. Although there is no basis, his intuition tells himself. [Black Swan] The reason why he arrived here is because of the two of them! "Good come." Xia En''s voice was low and powerful: "Next, the final battle." [The Apostle of Sin] Standing in the center of the golden cage, staring at all this coldly. His eyes swept over the [Black Swan], swept over Xia En, and finally stayed on the King of Fire. There was still a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking them for being overestimated. "It''s really touching." [The Apostle of Sin] said contemptuously: "A group of ants actually tried to shake the gods." "It''s a pity that your efforts are just in vain." The King of Firewood did not say much, his hands slowly raised, and the brilliant golden flame condensed in his palms, turning into a huge sword of flames. Above the sword, countless [Dayan] people''s souls were vaguely shining. Their beliefs and power are all gathered here at this moment. The Apostle of Sin! The voice of King Firewood was like thunder, resounding throughout the cage. "Your arrogance will eventually ruin yourself!" Before he finished speaking, the King of Firewood suddenly waved his sword, and the brilliant golden flame turned into a huge light blade, slashing the [Apostle of the Sin] and leaving. Faced with such an offensive, [The Apostle of Sin] just smiled softly. He raised his hand and a ball of black energy appeared in his palm. The energy seemed to be able to swallow everything, and even the surrounding flames and light were attracted by it and gradually dimmed. Then, [The Apostle of Sin] suddenly clenched his fist, and the dark energy burst out instantly, turning into a huge black barrier, blocking the attack of the King of Fire. With a loud bang, gold and black energy intertwined, and terrifying energy fluctuations burst out. The entire golden cage was trembling, as if it could collapse at any time. But then. [The Apostle of Sin] His face changed slightly. "My power..." After taking action, he immediately realized that the bond between him and the Immortal Force seemed to be isolated by some kind of force. It made it impossible for him to easily replenish the secret power in his body. [The Apostle of Sin] Looking at the golden cage around him, he instantly understood its effect. "With [Dayan] as a cage, cut off my connection with my Lord?" "It''s indeed the idea of ??a genius, but this alone can''t kill me!" On the side, legendary powerful men such as Thunder Lord, Old Man Xingchen, and Moussa instantly realized the changes in the situation. Just let the [Apostle of Sin] lose its endless self-healing ability and secret power reserve. In this battle, they still have a glimmer of hope of victory. "It''s now! Take action together!" With Mousa''s shout, all the legends in the field, even those who were seriously injured, once again mobilized their secret power to launch an attack. The overwhelming offensive fell toward the [Apostle of Sin]! At the same time. Xia En jumped and came to the [Black Swan]. Vivian, who had been waiting for a long time, spoke directly. "Captain Shane, please open the [Eternal Coffin] with your own hands." "And I will be your sharpest spear." At this time, Xia En noticed that Vivian''s face, which was originally blurred and as if she was covered by a layer of veil, became extremely clear. It was as if some original ban was lifted. And Vivian''s real facial features are exactly what Laila looks like! Even though Xia En had some speculations about this. But when he really saw this scene, there was still a violent turmoil in his heart. Xia En couldn''t help asking. "Vivian, who are you?" Vivian replied, I am Laila, but not Laila. "If you insist on saying it, I still prefer the title [Witch of the Narcissus]." "When things are over, I will explain everything to you if there is still a chance." Xia En also knew that this was not the time to dig into the bottom line. He forced himself to suppress the doubts in his heart and walked to the [Coffin of Eternity] that Vivian moved to the deck. Xia En stretched out his hand and slowly opened it. It is different from any previous situation when [Eternal Coffin] is opened. The moment the crystal coffin opened, an indescribable force poured into Xia En''s body. That''s a... The power that does not belong to this [Seven Seas World]! In his eyes, a world of destruction, dead silentness and ruins appeared. The breath of nirvana lingers throughout the world. There are no creatures, no humans, and no civilization. That world has been completely destroyed. Just a moment. Xia En understood Vivian''s origin. Vivian is the Laila of the nirvana world! It can be said that she is in a parallel world! Laila was summoning the [Coffin of Eternity] in some way. Vivian also responded to her call and came to this undestroyed [Seven Seas World]. And in Laila''s mouth, the power that can completely kill the [Apostle of Sin] and does not belong to this world. It does not refer to some kind of power in the [Secret Sea]. Instead, it means... The power of nirvana on another world line! (This chapter is finished) Chapter 416 Kill the [Apostle of Sin]! Take off your Chapter 416 Kill [The Apostle of Sin]! Take off your armor! On another world line. [Seven Seas World] was also destroyed by [Sizumi Ming]. The will of that world naturally has strong hostility and hatred towards []. At this time, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to borrow its power to kill the [Apostle of Sin]. As the power stored in the [Eternal Coffin] continued to pour into Xia En''s body. The aura on his body began to rise extremely exaggeratedly. From the point of entering a legend, it has rapidly improved to the eighth-level legend, and then to the ninth level of the Fire King at the same level. Finally, a certain barrier was faintly broken through and reached an incredible height. Of course, such powerful power is only temporary. When Xia En used this [power of extinction], he returned to his original state. Even so. At this moment, Xia En has also become the strongest person in [Seven Seas World]. And I noticed such a change in the aura. The expression of the [Apostle of Sin] who had always been sarcastic and sure of victory finally changed suddenly. He never thought that the existence in front of him, which was originally like an ant in his eyes, could climb to the same height as him in an instant. That kind of aura seemed to be trembling for the world and even time would stagnate for it. Plus this cage composed of the last power of [Dayan]. Looming. [The Apostle of Sin] It was the first time that he felt like he might be killed. But even so. [The Apostle of Sin] Not only did there be no fear on his face, but there was a more distorted and crazy smile. "What if you have such power for the time being?" "After all, you''re just a borrowed container and you can''t really control it!" "If you want to kill me, then try it!" After saying that, [The Apostle of Sin] suddenly closed his hands and burst into dark secret power all over his body. Countless sins and malice wrapped around his body, as if transforming into an unshakable mountain. However, just as he urged his power with all his strength. A terrifying purple thunder suddenly fell from the sky. Like a spear that penetrated the heaven and earth, piercing straight into his body. The actions of the [Apostle of the Sin] suddenly stopped. If he were outside this golden cage, he could use his huge secret power to resist the thunder. But now, after the connection with the Immortal Mind is cut off, the [Apostle of the Sin] cannot use the secret power in the body without any scruples as before. And at this moment. Not only Thunder Lord, everyone present realized it. Success or failure, this is a killing! Musa sighed softly: "May the glow be with me!" As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from his body. Jane, who had been silent before, also used absolutely taboo means at this moment. A rune flashing with a strange light slowly emerged from her. This rune embodies Jians knowledge and wisdom over thousands of years. It can be said that this is a killer move that she can only use once in her life. But at this time. Jian just used this rune to buy Xia En an extra second. The other legendary powerhouses were like them, trying their best to consume some of the secret power of the [Apostle of the Great Sin]. Fight for a chance to win at this moment! "You ants!" [The Apostle of Sin] let out an angry roar, his expression twisted. "Do you think this will kill me?" The dark secret power in his body expanded rapidly, quickly melting the purple thunder and the whistling light. Jane''s wisdom rune was easily shattered by him. And just then. The fire king not far away showed a determined and calm expression. His voice was low and firm, echoing between heaven and earth: "[The Apostle of Sin], your arrogance and sin will end here." "I will turn into a fire with my remaining body!" As he finished speaking, the golden and red flames began to burn from the body of the King of Firewood. And gradually penetrated out from his eyes and skin. This made his body look a little transparent and illusory, like a fragile porcelain. It''s like... The King of Firewood has integrated everything about himself, including his life and soul, into this flame! Seeing this scene, a trace of sadness flashed across the crowd. But she also knew that if it were the King of Sinica whom she loved deeply, she would definitely make such a decision! boom! ! The brilliant golden flame fell on the body of the [Apostle of Sin], like a chain, suppressing his power. at the same time. With the blessing of [The Power of Nirvana]. Xia En''s eyes had become deep like the starry sky, as if reflected in endless nirvana and nothingness. Around his body, the space began to twist, as if even the world itself was trembling under his power. However, Xia En felt that there was still a straight line between him and his true "completeness"! He turned his head and looked at Vivian beside him, and suddenly understood the meaning of the sentence Vivian said just now, "I will be your sharpest spear." See. Vivian beside him looked at him deeply. Then, her body transformed into a more pure and more original [power of nirvana]. Immediately afterwards, this [power of extinction] gradually gathered into a slender and sharp spear. It was covered with a trembling and terrifying aura, as if even fate could pierce it! Like a legendary spear Gangniel! A trace of complexity flashed in Xia En''s eyes, but he did not hesitate. He knew that the moment the strong men such as Xinwang fought for him must not be wasted. Xia En held the pitch-black spear, and the secret power of nirvana was condensed around the gun. The energy seemed to be able to swallow everything, and even the light could not escape. "Shane...is now!" The voice of King Firewood gradually weakened, and his figure gradually dissipated in the flames, turning into starlight, dissipating between heaven and earth. Xia En''s right hand suddenly raised, and a dazzling black light suddenly burst out from the pitch-black spear. The light contained the will of [Seven Seas World], the hatred and anger of countless creatures, and the determination of Xia En. "This blow is for all the worlds that have been destroyed by you and all the lives that have been trampled on by you!" Xia En''s voice exploded like thunder. The black spear quickly expanded in the air, turning into a black beam of light that penetrated the heaven and earth, and blasted straight towards the chest of the [Apostle of Sin]. Wherever the light column passes, space collapses and time stagnates! It seems that even the rules of the world have been completely rewritten under this blow. The Apostle of Sin''s pupils suddenly contracted. He wanted to hide, but found that he had been firmly locked by the fire of the King of Fire. He wanted to resist, but found that his secret power was as fragile as paper in front of [The Power of Nirvana]. "No-!" [The Apostle of Sin] let out a desperate roar. His body began to collapse under the impact of that power, and the power of sin was swallowed by the [Power of Nirvana], and even his soul was wailing under that power. His eyes were full of unwillingness and fear, and he could not believe that he would be defeated in such a situation. However, at the end of life. A trace of relief flashed in the eyes of [The Apostle of Sin]. "Finally...can it be over?" His voice rang out of the light column. "This time, you won." "But in front of [], you still have no chance of victory..." When the light dissipated, the figure of the [Apostle of the Sin] had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared. The golden cage also collapsed, turning into golden light and dissipating into the air. The entire battlefield fell into a brief silence. Everyone held their breath, as if they couldn''t believe what was in front of them. The [Apostle of Sin] who was once arrogant and seemed invincible in the world was actually defeated by them. However, Xia''s body began to collapse at this moment. Countless cracks emerged on his skin, and blood oozed out of it, dyeing his clothes red. His aura quickly weakened, fell from the ninth level, and finally returned to his original state. "Captain Shane!" Joey was the first to rush forward and held his shaky body. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "I''m fine..." Xia En reluctantly smiled, his voice weak but firm. "We...win." Moussa, Thunder Lord and other legendary powerhouses also surrounded him. Their faces were exhausted, but also the joy of victory. "Yes, we won." Moussa whispered. He looked at the sea of ??ice around him, and gradually became stable as Da Yan and the [Apostle of the Sin] disappeared. The glaciers no longer melt. This means that this disaster of destruction has been stopped by them. As for the part of the glaciers that have turned into seawater, although it will temporarily cause changes in the ocean currents in this sea area, it will not have much impact on the entire [Seven Seas World]. only. The price of this battle can only be described as extremely heavy. Not only several legendary powerful men died in this battle. Even his mortal enemy Heller, the former king of King Ferry, and a crew member of Shane all died in order to eliminate the [Apostle of Sin]. Moussa murmured in a low voice, History will remember you. He exuded a holy light, and he was silent for the victims in this battle. And at this time. After a breath of relief, Xia En looked at the place where the [Apostle of Sin] disappeared. He realized that something seemed to be left behind there? "Joey, take me over and have a look." "Yes, Captain Shane." With Joey''s help, Shane gradually approached the place where the [Apostle of Sin] disappeared. Sure enough. There, two faint light **** remained. One of them is a faint fire. To be precise, it''s just a small flame. It was shivering in the cold wind of [Far North], as if it could be extinguished at any time. But when she saw it, Xia En''s expression suddenly shook. Of course he would not forget that the essence of the King of Firewood is an existence called [Old Torch]. As long as the torch is not extinguished, the King of Firewood will not be considered to be truly dead! Xia En''s eyes were staring at the faint flame, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart. King of Firewood, the king who once stood at the top of the world, burned his life and soul to turn into the last flame in order to defeat the [Apostle of Sin]. And now, this faint flame is the last remaining of the Fire King. At this time, the dark ice not far away also came to mid-air. "Captain Shane, please let me take him away." Anbing looked at Fire Seed with gentle eyes: "I will wait until the day he returns." Shane nodded. As the wife of King of Firewood, it is indeed the most suitable thing to keep this spark. So, Anbing took out the wooden box that had been placed in the fire before and carefully included it. The flames pounded slightly in the box, as if they had found a new destination. Xia En looked at Dark Ice and put away the fire, and his eyes turned to another ball of light. It was a weaker spot of light that was almost impossible to detect. However, when Shane approached, he felt a familiar breath That''s...Vivian''s breath! "Vivian..." Xia En''s heart aches. Vivian, the crew member who once fought alongside him, is also Laila from another world. In order to help him defeat the [Apostle of Sin], he did not hesitate to transform his body into the [Power of Nirvana] and turned into the spear that penetrated the great sin. At this time, her existence had almost disappeared, leaving only this faint spot of light. Looking back now. Xia En actually knows very little about Vivian. Xia En didn''t know her true identity and the mission she carried until the last moment. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help feeling guilty. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the spot of light. The light spots flashed slightly, as if responding to his touch. However, its light became weaker and weaker, as if it could dissipate into nothingness at any time. Xia En''s heart tightened. But at this moment. A figure came to his side and spoke. "Captain Shane, open the [Eternal Coffin] and place her remnant soul into it." "Maybe it will make her return to what she was." The sound coming from my ears was crisp and beautiful, like a clear spring, and it was obviously the sound of a girl. But Xia En felt both familiar and unfamiliar. "Who are you" Xia En turned around, but was stunned. Because the people who came beside him were An in armor! "You...can you speak?!" "And, are you still a woman?" Xia En was greatly surprised. An said, "After the death of the [Apostle of the Sin], the curse set by the [Secret of the Sin] on the elves dissipated." "I can just speak." "And now, I think of my true identity." As he said that, An took off his helmet. Exposed to the air is the beautiful, elf girl''s face. It''s actually Laila''s appearance! "What''s this?" Xia En was shocked. It was Vivian before, but now it is An? What the **** is going on? But now, it is not the time to ask questions. If hesitates any longer, Vivian''s last remnant soul will also disappear. He quickly brought the [Eternal Coffin] to the light spot and included it in it. And just the moment Xia En touched the light spot. Two completely different memories broke into his mind... (End of this chapter) Chapter 417 【Disaster of Black】 and 【Divine God of B Chapter 417 [Disaster of Black] and [The God of Blind and Idiot] The first to break into Xia En''s mind. It is an extremely chaotic and broken memory. What appears in memory seems to be a world that is very different from [Seven Seas World]. In that world, temples and faith are the ways for people to obtain extraordinary power. At this moment, what caught my eye was a gorgeous temple. A man with a beautiful appearance, like a man and a woman, walked into a temple with devout devotion. Xia En suddenly realized. "Is this the memory of [The Apostle of the Sin]?" To be honest, he was not very interested in the memory of the [Apostle of Sin]. After all, in Shane''s view, the [Apostle of Sin]''s style of acting is already a complete madman. While he is pursuing destruction of others, he is also destroying himself. However, Xia En thought about it again. Although the [Apostle of Sin] is dead, it does not mean that the [Seven Seas World] is completely safe. The threat of [] still exists. And in the memory of the [Apostle of Sin], there may be information related to [Apostle of Sin]. Thinking of this, Xia En calmed down and began to read this memory. In memory. [The Apostle of Sin] is an orphan whose parents die. Under the adoption of an old priest, he becomes a priest in a temple. He likes life in the temple very much. The gentle old priest, the kind companion, and the worshiper who still has good thoughts despite some troubles. Time passed day by day. His faith in the gods is becoming increasingly pious. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have taken over the position of the old priest and become the archbishop in this temple. Until that day. The temple collapsed! The man knelt in front of the broken statue and watched the dark cracks spread from the forehead of the statue, crawling the entire palace like a spider web. The voice of the gods still echoed in his ears. The sound is no longer the solemn and sacred of the past, but with some trembling madness. "You are the apostle I chose..." "Next, you will destroy this world." In my memory, the filthy phantom appeared and loomed in the collapsed temple. His body is made up of countless flowing shadows, and countless painful faces surging in those shadows. There was a dark liquid flowing in His eyes, which dripped onto the ground, corroding the bottomless holes. "Why destroy it?" The man''s voice was trembling: "Aren''t we your most loyal apostle?" "Why?" "Does it take a reason?" [] A harsh laughter sounded. "Great, you will be completely reborn!" A drop of dark liquid dripped into the man''s eyebrows. Immediately afterwards, the man''s body undergoes a strange change. [] The drop of liquid given by him rushes through his blood vessels, transforming every inch of his flesh and blood. Something was squirming under his skin, and it was a new organ growing. His vision began to distort, and the originally clear world became fragmented, leaving only endless pain and madness. When the man woke up again, all he saw was the temple that turned into ruins, as well as the corpses of the old priests and their companions. He wanted to cry, but he couldn''t even shed tears. This is just a starting point. "It''s up to you to destroy the whole world with your own hands." Memories become fragmented here. Only countless broken pictures flashed one after another. Temples after temples were destroyed under the men under control. The sky cracked huge gaps, and the dark liquid poured down like a waterfall; The earth was wailing, and boiling magma surged out from countless cracks; The ocean is boiling, and countless dead marine creatures are floating in the steaming water. Finally, the whole world came to a dead silence. The man is no longer the same as him. The madness of [] flows in his body, and his soul is torn into millions of pieces. But he is still alive! After that, he became an existence called the [Apostle of Sin]. Walking through worlds after world, bringing filthy disasters to them. And because of the experience of being manipulated and played by [ѧ]. The character of the [Apostle of Sin] has become extremely distorted, and he naturally has malice and jealousy towards geniuses in other worlds. He thought, why was it himself who was treated like this? But the [Apostle of Sin] clearly knew that he could not get rid of his fate controlled by [The Descendant]. So he wanted others to taste the same pain as himself. Only then would he do such things to Augustine, King of Fire, and other powerful people in the world. Whenever I see these people showing a look of despair and collapse. [The Apostle of Sin] A twisted heart will feel a little happy. Sadly. The more the [Apostle of Sin] does this, the more it is in line with the path of [The Mind], and the closer it is to the connection with Him. After reading this memory, Xia En sighed in his heart. At this time, he also completely understood why the [Apostle of Sin] had a slight relief in his final tone. The tragedy of the [Apostle of Sin] was not entirely chosen by him, but was pushed into the abyss step by step by step by step by step. His distortion and madness are to some extent the result of []''s malice and play. Deep in the heart of the [Apostle of Sin], perhaps longing for someone to truly kill him. But even so. Shane also cannot fully sympathize with the [Apostle of Sin]. After all, while being manipulated, he also chose to pass on his pain to others, and even enjoy it. This distorted pleasure is proof of his complete depravity. Xia En took a deep breath and pulled his attention away from the memory of the [Apostle of Sin]. He knew that although this memory revealed the past of the [Apostle of Sin]. But more importantly, it provides key information about []. The existence of [] is far more dangerous than Xia En imagined. Not only can He control the will of others, but He can also transform people into His apostles and become tools for destroying the world by giving power. And [The Apostle of Sin] is just one of His many pieces. "[]...Is it really just to destroy the world to harvest the power of filth?" Xia En murmured to himself, frowning. From the memory of the [Apostle of Sin], he vaguely felt that behind the actions of [The Mind] seemed to be hidden in some deeper intentions. But Xia En cannot see through what it is for the time being. Just as he was pondering, the scene in his memory suddenly flashed again. This time, he saw a vague scene The phantom of [] is suspended in a void space, surrounded by countless broken world fragments. His voice was low and cold, as if he was talking to himself. Damage of Darkness is coming It must be accelerated This sentence shocked Xia En. "[Damage of Darkness]?!" When using the help of the King of Firewood to break through the sixth level, Xia En had seen one world after another, completely destroyed under the dark wave. And in the words of [], even He is going to be affected by the []? This discovery made Xia En feel a chill. As for the information he learned. [Damage of Black] is an extremely terrible disaster in [The Secret Sea]. Even external gods like [] may be destroyed in it. If it swept into the [Seven Seas World] Shane suddenly felt a lot of pressure. The death of the [Apostle of Sin] does not mean that the world is safe. On the contrary, this may just be the tranquility before the storm. "We must improve our strength as soon as possible and collect more secrets related to [Damage of Black] and [Infernal Affairs]." Xia En clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! He felt it tangibly during the battle with the [Apostle of Sin]. His own strength is far from keeping up in this level of battle. If it weren''t for the support and control of legendary powerful men such as Killing King, Musa, and Heller, he would have no way to defeat the [Apostle of Sin]. In fact, Xia En''s promotion speed is actually incredibly fast. It took less than two years from just embarking on the secret path to becoming a legendary powerhouse. However, the enemies he encountered were getting stronger and stronger, which made his combat power somewhat insufficient. Constrain distracting thoughts in your heart. Shane began to touch another memory of light ball. The first thing that caught my eye was a dim and quiet square. In the center of the square, the crystal-shaped [Eternal Coffin] is placed there. With [Eternal Coffin] as the center, there are strange and mysterious patterns. Their specific rules are arranged to form a complex ritual. And what made Xia En''s pupils shrink. Standing in the center of the ritual is Laila! Obviously, this is the memory of Leila! Combining the [Eternal Coffin] and the rituals on the ground, Xia En is not difficult to guess. This is probably the memory of Leila when she trades with an existence in the words of King Xing. at this time. Laila said softly with a hint of hesitation on her face. "The external **** Azathus..." "Among the many external gods in the [The Secret Sea], they are also the most mysterious and terrifying existence." "Trading with Him may lead to a way to save the world, but the price it will have to be extremely heavy." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart slammed into a slap. Azathus? He had heard of the name of this god! In Shane''s original world, He was called... [The God of Blind and Ignorance]! Shane didn''t expect to hear His name here. Leila continued to murmur, "His identity, including this ritual, is the residual information in the [Coffin of Eternity]." "Has I, in that world, tried to communicate with Azathus?" "Or, is this a trap left by the external god?" After hesitating for a long time, Laila''s expression became firm. "Anyway, there is not much time left for me." "The King of Firewood has fallen into the trap of the [Apostle of Sin] and must find other ways." Thinking of this, Leila no longer hesitated and began to continue the ritual according to the information left in the [Eternal Coffin]. Her hands were slightly raised, and her fingertips were flashing with a faint light, as if communicating with some invisible force. Her eyes were hollow and deep, as if she had surpassed the boundaries of reality and entered another dimension. The next moment. On the ground, those strange and mysterious lines began to light up slowly, emitting a faint blue light. The light spread along the lines like flowing water, gradually lighting up the entire ritual. Xia En could feel a powerful energy flowing through the ritual, as if the entire space was trembling slightly. Suddenly, the [Coffin of Eternity] let out a low buzz. The coffin lid slowly opened, revealing a gap. From the gap, a cold breath came to my face. It seems that even time has frozen at this moment. Xia En''s breathing stagnated, and he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. It seems that there is something indescribable, and it is awakening from the coffin. In the dark, a great will that cannot be described in words came to Laila. He communicated with Laila in a way beyond understanding in a language that was not human. Leila''s body trembled slightly, as if under tremendous pressure. But she still stood firmly, staring at the invisible will. "Azathus..." Leila''s voice was low and hoarse, as if every word had consumed her great power. "I am willing to pay everything, just ask you to give me a way to save the world." The will did not respond immediately, but was silent like an abyss. The air in the entire square seemed to solidify, and even time became slow. Xia En felt his heartbeat roaring in his ears, as if the whole world was waiting for the result of this moment. Finally, that will slowly conveyed a piece of information. It was a message that acted directly on the soul and could not be described in words, but it allowed Laila and Shane to understand the meaning of it at the same time. "cost" "Your ''now''..." Leila''s pupils suddenly contracted, but they also felt a little puzzled. MyNow? It''s just the next moment. Three heavy shadows suddenly appeared on Laila''s body. One is an elf girl who looks like she is seven or eight years old. That was Laila''s past. A ghost, a translucent ghost, as if it might dissipate at any time. That is Laila''s future. And there is another one, which is what Laila looks like now. But now, she has a blank and unconscious eyes, as if she has lost her emotions and memories. Azathusburn is the embodiment of chaos and madness. Anyone who is close to this external **** will become blind and foolish. Memory and emotion are even more useless to Him. In the pain of the soul being torn apart, Laila couldn''t help but let out a cry of pain. But she also instantly understood what these three herself would encounter next. Her past would be cursed by this world because of her deal with Azathus, and from then on she would be burdened with the power of misfortune. Her future will be integrated with her self in another world and become the [Witch of Nirvana] sleeping in the [Coffin of Eternity]. And now she will leave the [Seven Seas World] forever and become a container and sacrifice for the [Blind God of Ignorance]. From then on, I became a person who is not himself. even so. Leila said gritting her teeth. "I...will accept the price." (End of this chapter) Chapter 418 The transformation of [Seven Seas World] Chapter 418 The transformation of [Seven Seas World]! The moment the words fell. The rituals on the ground burst out with strong light, and the entire square was shrouded in dark blue light. In the gap in the [Eternal Coffin], the cold aura became stronger and stronger, as if it was about to swallow everything. Leila''s figure began to become blurred, as if it was being stripped from reality. A faint smile appeared on her face, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes. She looked back. It''s like looking at Shane who is browsing this memory! "Sorry, Xiane." Her voice was like a candle in the wind, weak but clear. "After all, I... still failed to fulfill our agreement." The next moment. The entire memory scene fell apart. Xia En also returned to reality from memory. At this time, he was still above the ice sea. Around me are the closed [Eternal Coffin] and the An who has taken off his helmet. Looking at her familiar face. Shane finally understood the relationship between An, Vivian, and Leila. In essence, Ann and Vivian are actually part of Laila. However, for their own reasons, they became what they are today. Compared to Laila in the past, they have become completely independent individuals. That''s why Vivian would say. She is both Laila and not Laila. Xia En looked at An and asked with concern. "Is the curse and doom on you okay?" "It''s okay." An explained: "After the death of the Apostle of the Sin, the world will of the Seven Seas will focus on eliminating the anchor points left by the Immortal." "And the bad luck in me will be eliminated." "But there is one more thing that I must remind you." "As the blockade of the Immortal Sword is lifted from the Seven Seas World, the rules and states of this entire [Secret Realm] may undergo tremendous changes." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What does this mean?" An continued: "The power of the Immortal Mind has caused a terrible disaster, but it also stimulated the will of the Seven Seas World." Its like the muscles regenerate after being torn and become stronger and tougher. "After passing this disaster, the Seven Seas World will also usher in an amazing transformation." "For example, the adjacent [secret realm] that has a certain relationship with the Seven Seas World will be integrated with it." "For example, the laws of the entire world have been sublimated, and the upper limit level of the secret path master has been upgraded!" Xia En muttered to himself as if he was thinking. "Will the adjacent [secret realm] merge with the Seven Seas World?" The first thing he thought of was the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] he had explored before, as well as the [Elf Secret Realm] [Dragon Nest] after the migration of elves and dragons. If these [secret realms] are reintegrated into the Seven Seas World. Then, the area of ??the entire Seven Seas World will be several times larger than before! That''s when. boom- A low roar came from the depths of the ice sea, as if some huge force was awakening. The ice layer under Xia En''s feet trembled slightly, and the cracks spread rapidly like spider webs. He subconsciously took a step back and glanced around with vigilant eyes. "This is?" Shane asked with a frown. An''s expression also became solemn. She looked up at the sky, and the originally dark sky was now being torn apart by strange lights, as if countless light belts were passing through the clouds. Those lights are not simply bright lights, but rhythms of some regularity, as if reweaving the structure of the world. Not only Xia En and others, but all the legendary powerful men present, and even the [Far North Expeditionary Force] further away, all witnessed this shocking scene. "This...what is this?" Even with the vision of Musa and others, it was the first time that this incredible picture was seen. And soon, Mousa''s face changed. "My secret power..." He quickly realized that the connection between him and Lord Hui seemed to have become closer. It''s like a layer of obstacle that had been blocked between him and the gods, thinning? This allows Musa to more clearly sense the power contained in the light. Perceive it carefully for a moment. It seems that even the state of difficulty in progressing for decades has signs of looseness! Legends such as Thunder Lord and Old Man Xingchen also have similar feelings. The will of the world is reshaping the law. An explained softly: "After the power of the Immortal Mind is completely eliminated, the Seven Seas World finally ushered in its new life." "As it sublimates, the secret paths can benefit from it." "Especially for the strong men above the legend, the feeling will be more obvious." Shane asked, How long will this change last? "Don''t know." An shook his head: "The awakening of the will of the world is a complex process that may last for days, or even months." "But what is certain is that this transformation will make all creatures in the Seven Seas World stronger." Xia En looked into the sky in the distance. I saw some huge phantoms appearing in the gorgeous light belt, like huge land. That is exactly the manifestation of other [secret realms] gradually approaching the Seven Seas World. The fusion of several [secret realms] is just a matter of time. Musa and others on the side were moved by the way when they heard An''s words. The Thunder Lord sighed: "It seems that the Seven Seas World is about to usher in a new era." Moussa nodded, Yes, an era full of unknowns and possibilities. But we have to face it anyway. As he said, Mousa looked around Shane and the young legends around him and said loudly. "Young people, the future is yours!" "Now, we have fought the battle of glory, the road to travel has been completed, and the world has been guarded by us." "It''s time to return in triumph!" Hearing this, everyone showed an excited expression on their faces. They also had a long time to come to this cold and cold [Far Northland]. Now that the war has finally ended, I naturally want to leave as soon as possible. I don''t know who shouted first. "Let''s go home!" So, everyone shouted, "Let''s go home!" The sound echoed in the sea of ??ice and did not dissipate for a long time. After a moment. On the battlefield of [Far North Expeditionary Force]. At the moment when the sinful apostle was killed by Shane. The waves of filthy creatures that were originally surging quickly collapsed and dissipated, melting like ice and snow. The filthy secret power in their bodies disappeared with the removal of the world''s will from the filthy life. Those souls imprisoned in filthy bodies were finally relieved. At the same time, those [Black Flame Walker] who either followed or resisted the King of Fire. After [Dayan] disappeared, they all realized the fact that they had long died, and thus truly fell into a long sleep. Looking at the empty battlefield in front of you. The faces of many soldiers and soldiers on the battlefield could not help but show their expressions of surviving the disaster. Many people slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, their eyes full of fatigue and gratitude. Many of them were already ready to die here in battle. But at this moment, they survived. And, witnessed this great victory that was enough to be recorded in history with one''s own eyes. However, many people remained completely on this battlefield, and many ships completely sank here. This is a tragic and tragic victory! At this time, the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] Moritz broke one arm and his face turned pale, but his eyes were extremely firm. He announced to everyone, "Everyone, we... won this battle!" No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Moritz''s voice echoed in the cold wind, with an indescribable heaviness and solemnity. His words seemed to ignite the last flame remaining on the battlefield. Countless warriors raised their heads, their eyes flashed with complex emotions - sadness, fatigue, but more of the relief and pride after victory. "We won!" This sentence was like a ripple, spreading rapidly on the battlefield. At first there were only sporadic responses, and then gradually gathered into a deafening shout. "We won!" "We won!" The sound echoed over the ice sea, as if it was about to completely tear the cold world apart. Even though the joy of victory permeates the air, the scene on the battlefield is still heartbreaking. The ice layer was covered with broken ship wreckage, and the bodies of countless warriors were spread across it, and blood stained the white ice surface red. Those companions who once fought side by side now have been sleeping in this far north forever. Moritz''s eyes swept across the battlefield, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and ordered loudly: "Everyone obeys the order! Immediately count the casualties, treat the wounded, and recover the bodies of his comrades!" "We can''t let any hero stay on this ice field forever!" As the order was issued, the remaining soldiers acted quickly. Although their bodies were already exhausted, no one complained or stopped. They knew that this was the last respect for their deceased comrades. Soon, the legendary powerful men gathered with the others from the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. After a complicated and complicated inventory. A low horn sounded in the distance. That was the assembly call of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], which means that all survivors are about to embark on their way back. A corner of the ice sea. With the help of Joey and An, Shane returned to the deck of the [Black Swan]. At the end of the battle, he used his body to accommodate the extremely terrifying [power of nirvana]. The level of this power even exceeded the original upper limit of the Seven Seas World. It may take quite some time to heal the hidden wounds left by this secret power. However, Shane turned his head and looked at Ann, Joey, Feiya, Xiange and other crew members safely. A smile appeared on his face. In any case, they solved the crisis of destruction and survived it. As for Ms. Jian, it also takes some time to cultivate herself when she uses that rune. And on the ice field not far away. Dark Bing, holding the Fire King''s Fire Seed, was watching them with a smile. Xia En''s original idea was to take Dark Bing with him to leave [Leng Lie Sea]. But Anbing refused his invitation. Anbing said that she wanted to stay in the [Far Northland] for a while and go to the place where the [Great Yan Kingdom] was once located. Then, she might travel through the entire Seven Seas World with the King of Fire. Anbing had such a travel plan for a long time, but because King Xin was always busy and had no time to accompany her. And after the two broke up, there was even less chance. Now, it is undoubtedly the best time. It was also a late honeymoon trip. Xia En naturally respects Dark Ices decision. On the side, General Moritz was also among the ranks of seeing him off. "Captain Shane, I''ve heard of you." "You are an indispensable hero in this battle." Moritz said softly, with a hint of praise in his eyes. Xia En shook his head and his voice was deep, "This is not my credit alone." "We would not have succeeded without the sacrifices of Sinja King, Vivian, and everyone." Moritz nodded, his eyes swept across the battlefield in the distance, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. "Yes, their sacrifices will not be forgotten." History will remember them, remember this battle. "I plan to erect monuments for all the victims in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], and erect on the [Far North Land] and [Lili Island], so that later generations can remember this war." "After this, the Federation will hold a medal ceremony, so Captain Shane is sure to be present." "Are you awarded a medal?" Xia En was not surprised by this. In advance, the Seven Seas Federation promised generous rewards to the [Far North Expeditionary Force] and those involved in the infiltrating operation. And now, it is naturally time to fulfill it. Even for the Seven Seas Federation, this is a huge fortune. But Shane believes that the federal government will not withhold the rewards from heroes. At this time. Colonel Gold came over with Carles'' support. He was seriously injured in the previous battle, his breath fell into legend and may never be able to break through again. But he survived. Gold walked onto the deck and patted Shane on the shoulder, "Captain Shane, what are your plans next?" Xia En was silent for a moment, looking into the distance: "Although the apostle of the Sin was defeated, [] still exists." As long as He is still there, the [Seven Seas World] will never be truly safe. "I must find a way to completely end His threat." "Also, the remnants of the [Truth Society] have not been eliminated completely, which is also a big hidden danger." Gold nodded, Its true. "But now you need a rest." Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on Gold''s face. "Captain Shane seems to have promised me before to take good care of my daughter, right?" "ah?" Xia En was stunned for a moment, but still responded: "That''s right..." "Then, Carles will leave it to you from now on." As he said that, Gold patted Carles beside her and signaled her to walk forward. Carles was not shy or timid, and walked directly to Shane. "Captain Shane, please give me some advice in the future!" This means. From now on, Carles has officially become a crew member of the Black Swan. Soon, the people who saw off left the deck one after another. [Black Swan] set sail again and headed towards the center of the Seven Seas World. In the sky, those strange lights were still flashing, as if lighting up the way forward for their return. (End of this chapter) Chapter 419 Famous for the seven seas! Awarding cere Chapter 419 Famous in the seven seas! Awarding ceremony! A few days later. News of the victory of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] has spread everywhere in every corner of [Seven Seas World]. Countless people cheered for it and shed tears for it. The world-destroying disaster that had caused countless civilians to panic and uneasy was finally eliminated at this moment. Because of the members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], they come from all over the [Seven Seas World]. Therefore, when they returned, many details and rumors about this battle were spread across every sea area. Among them, the deeds of ten members of the infiltrated operation, as well as legendary powerful men such as Sinner King, Heller, and Musa in the final battle, were most widely circulated. For a moment. These heroes who saved the world became famous and their reputation spread to the seven seas. Among them, Captain [Black Swan] and Xia En''s name shines like bright stars in every corner of [Seven Seas World]. He not only played a key role in infiltrating the operation. In the final decisive battle, he fought side by side with the powerful, killed the [Apostle of Sin] with his own hands, successfully preventing the arrival of the disaster of destruction. It can be said. Xia En is the living legend of [Seven Seas World]! As Xia En became famous in Qihai, some of his past deeds, including his place of making a fortune [Duke Island], were discovered by the good people on Qihai. Only then did people find it surprised. From Shane becoming a secret pathist and making his mark, to participating in this far north expedition, it has been less than two years in total! What a stunning talent! With Xia En''s reputation as hell, [Duke Island] has also become a hot topic in [Seven Seas World]. This once unknown island has attracted the attention of countless adventurers, businessmen and scholars because of Xiaen. They set foot on this land one after another, trying to find out the secret of Shane''s rise. [Duke Island] in [Wind and Wave Tavern]. These days, the business of this tavern has been several times more popular than before. The tavern owner, Bi Si, was so happy. The golden dragon coins she has earned in the past few days are more than what she has earned in the past few decades! But even so. Biss did not take the initiative to tell her former friendship with Xia En, nor did she use this as a gimmick to attract customers. But occasionally, guests heard it, and the proprietress sighed softly. "I didn''t expect that little guy has grown to this point now..." "Ha...I had the chance to trick him into bed back then!" As for the former crew members of the [Black Swan]. Now, it is definitely unrealistic to say that there is no regret. But on the other hand. Now Xia''s level is too far away from them. Even if the old crew members such as Reinate could not look up at Xia En''s back, they could no longer do it. In this situation, they felt relieved. Some crew members even felt that having had such an experience with Shane was something to be proud of. Compared to trivial matters such as fame and prestige. What made the civilians on the Seven Seas even more concerned and shocked. After the death of the [Apostle of Sin], the secret power of the entire [Seven Seas World] seemed to become even stronger! Almost all secret paths can feel that their strength and rank have improved significantly. Even some ordinary people who do not have the qualifications to become secret paths have embarked on the secret path and become extraordinary under the influence of the transformation of the world! Those high-level secret paths who were already strong have many people who broke through the ranks. Such a breakthrough phenomenon is particularly obvious among the people returning from the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. This is because they have experienced the harsh tests of the far north and faced many dangers and challenges. Their will and strength have long been tempered on the brink of life and death. Therefore, when the world''s secret power becomes more intense, their breakthroughs appear particularly rapid and significant. Several legendary powerful men emerged. It can be said that this is the largest breakthrough wave of secret paths in history! If you insist on saying it, it is a bit like the "resurrection of aura" in some novels. And the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is the first group of people to enjoy this dividend. This change is not only an improvement in personal strength, but also a reshuffle of the entire [Seven Seas World] power system. at the same time. Another major event that shocked the Qihai. It is the fusion of [Seven Seas World] and several [Secret Realms]. A captain discovered that strange islands appeared out of thin air in the originally familiar sea area. It seems that there are creatures that do not belong to the [Seven Seas World]. Someone discovered that a dark sea water was emerging from the depths of the [Sea of ??Nirvana], forming a new and unknown sea area. A strange and terrifying monster wanders in that sea. Someone discovered that a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the originally calm sea area, and the vortex seemed to be connecting another world. Even many people heard ancient roars from time to time in the sky. According to some secret paths. That was the roar of the ancient dragon! This means that the [Secret Realm] called [Dragon Nest] is constantly approaching the [Seven Seas World]. Various forces in the [Seven Seas World] began to act quickly, trying to explore these newly emerging [Secret Lands] and sea areas. Businessmen smelled business opportunities, while adventurers saw new opportunities. Scholars are busy studying the causes and effects behind these changes. Anyone realizes that [Seven Seas World] has ushered in a brand new era! Just when such a major change occurred in [Seven Seas World]. On [Lilac Island]. A long-prepared medal ceremony is about to be held. This award ceremony is not only to reward the survivors in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], but also to commemorate the victims who died in the war. The port of [Liuli Island] is now filled with ships from all over the Qihai. The flags were flying and the people were roaring. It seemed as if the whole world was focusing on this island. The streets on the island are decorated with lights and the air is filled with the atmosphere of celebration. But under this excitement, you can still feel a hint of solemnity and solemnity. The venue for the award ceremony is located in the central square of [Lili Island]. There are tall stone pillars around the square, with ancient legends and heroic deeds of [Seven Seas World] being carved on them. In the middle of the square, a huge stone tablet stands tall. The stone tablet is engraved with the names of the soldiers who died in the [Expedition to the Extreme North]. In front of the stone tablet, rows of neat seats are placed, waiting for the heroes who are about to receive honor. clang- As the bell rang, the crowd in the square gradually became quiet. Representatives of the major forces of the [Seven Seas World] and many captains gathered here to witness this historic moment. The first person to appear on stage was General Moritz, the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. His voice was low and powerful, slowly telling the hardships and sacrifices of the expedition, and telling the warriors who fought in the far north until the last moment. His words were filled with respect and condolences, and the atmosphere at the scene was solemn. After talking about the deeds of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], Moritz announced. "The award ceremony... officially begins!" The first to take office were the legendary powerful men who participated in the final decisive battle. Without the support of these strong men, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] might have suffered heavy casualties at the hands of filthy creatures. And in the battle against the [Apostle of Sin], they also played a restraining role. Moussa, Thunder Lord, Star Old Man and others will appear on stage together after ordinary legends. In the audience, Musa looked at the stone tablet not far away, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes. Mr. Heller of [The Secret Sect], although he has always been his old rival, has also caused considerable trouble to the Hui Sect. But when Musa thought that he would never see this old rival again in the future, he couldn''t help feeling lonely. But at this moment. A hand stretched out from the shadow behind Moussa and patted him on the shoulder. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "Hi, old man!" Then Mr. Heller''s figure appeared. He asked with a joke, "You don''t think I''m dead, so you''re sad, right?" "No, no, no?" Moussa was startled by the sudden sound. Then he turned around and saw Mr. Heller''s face with a playful smile, and he was immediately amazed and crying. "You guy..." Moussa shook her head, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I really thought you died in the far north." Mr. Heller shrugged and said lightly, "Oh, how could I die so easily?" "Besides, if you die like this, wouldn''t it be that you, the old man, have a missing opponent? That won''t work!" But soon Moussa realized that Mr. Heller''s breath was extremely weak, less than one percent of the original one. He asked immediately with a frown. "Your rank..." Heller waved his hand disregardedly. "After all, that battle also caused me to lose 90% of my clones. How could it be possible without paying a little price?" "However, I''m lucky to survive." As he said that, Heller looked at the dense names on the stele. Behind each name is a soldier who died for this battle. Compared to these people, Heller, who can survive, is indeed considered lucky. Heller patted Moussa on the shoulder: "Let''s go, old man, it''s our turn soon." "But don''t steal my limelight later." Moussa snorted, "It''s not certain who steals the limelight." The two looked at each other and then walked towards the stage side by side. When the crowd in the square saw the two legendary powerful men appearing on stage together, warm applause and cheers burst out. [Sutra Sect] stands side by side with the big figures of [Hui Sect], which is a scene that may not be possible once in a century. After that, the three people who sneaked into the [Dayan] operation. Benny, William, Latiewen. After this period of cultivation, Benny''s aura has broken through the legend and his strength has improved again. And Latiwen''s temperament is becoming more sacred and pure, giving people a translucent texture. William''s injuries have healed and his spirit has been refreshed. At present, all three of them have become popular rising stars among their respective forces and are highly valued. However, after awarding the three of them a special medal, the people in the audience quickly realized one thing. What about the others who survived the infiltration? Especially... Where is that Captain Shane? Just as there was a little uproar from the audience. Moritz said, "Originally, this most precious medal should be given to Captain Shane, the hero who performed the most outstandingly in the expedition in the Far North." "However, it is regrettable that Captain Shane now has a more important mission to do, so he cannot be present." "He told me that this honor belongs to all those who fight for the [Seven Seas World]." "One of those comrades who have left, and also of everyone who is still protecting this sea area!" Moritz''s words were short but loud. The applause from the audience surged like a tide, and it continued for a long time. At the end of the ceremony, Moritz said again. "In this expedition, there is another hero that cannot be ignored, that is... King of Fire and his [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "We would not have won this battle without them." "And, in fact, they saved the world once thousands of years ago..." Soon, Moritz talked about the past of King Xin and [Great Yan Kingdom] saving the world. This past is once buried in the dust of history and no one knows it. But this time. But Moritz did not forget it and also made it public on the Seven Seas. From then on, people will remember that there was a [Great Yan Kingdom] in the world. It is that country that protects this world at its own cost! Just when the medal ceremony was held on [Liuli Island]. Someone who is caring, curious and admired by many people lies peacefully on a recliner on the deck of the [Black Swan]. The warm sunshine blew down, and the gentle sea breeze blew by. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the peace, peace and beauty of this moment. The reason why he did not attend the award ceremony was simple. That''s... Tired! After such a protracted and extremely difficult battle. Xia En had been exhausted both physically and mentally. In addition, the remaining hidden injuries in the body have not healed yet, going to [Liuli Island] may also attract unnecessary attention from others. Xia En simply did not attend the ceremony. After fighting for such a long time, can he still enjoy it? However, the medal of [Light of the North] given by this award has long been given to Xia En. The medal appears in a deep silver-gray color, with a circle of fine runes embedded on the edges. The rune''s lines appear and appear in the light, as if they are flowing like life. In addition to the honorary meaning of this [Far North Light] symbol, you can enjoy extremely generous treatment when trading with the Federation. It can even be used to call a whole medium-sized navy. Not only that, the Seven Seas Federation also gave Major General Xia''en the rank of military general as promised. If he is willing to act for the Federal Navy, he can always be the youngest general in the Federation! This kind of honor is even more exaggerated than Colonel Gold. However, Xia En refused such a request. He has more important things to do than becoming a general of the navy. (End of this chapter) Chapter 420 【Law of Void】【Legend Title】 Chapter 420 [Law of Void] [Legend Title] Lying on the deck and enjoying the rare peaceful time. Xia En''s thoughts fluctuated. Although the [Apostle of Sin] is dead, the crisis of the world-destroying disaster has been temporarily lifted. However, this does not mean that he can enjoy the rest of his life. Lets not talk about the more distant and terrifying [Dark Disaster]. and other His apostles may invade the Seven Seas World again at any time. Besides. Xia En did not forget the transaction between Laila and the [Blind God of Idiot]. Based on the memories he saw. Leila was divided into three. Her past and future became An and Vivian respectively. But her "now" was taken away by the [Blind God of Idiot] and disappeared. At the same time, her "now" has also lost her original memory and is likely to become an existence completely unfamiliar to Xia En. But even so. Shane couldn''t give up looking for Laila. And about where Laila is going When she broke through the legend before, Laila''s message in the [Secret Sea] showed that she seemed to have left some of the information in the [Secret Realm] where the elves are now in? Because of this. During this period, Xia En has been patiently waiting and inquiring about the information about the [Elf Secret Realm]. However, if you really want to explore the [Elf Secret Realm], you have to wait until his injuries healed. Speaking of legends, we have to mention the changes in Xia En''s strength after breaking through the legend. When he fought the decisive battle with the [Apostle of Sin]. Due to the urgent situation, Shane didn''t have time to check the prompts on the panel. But these days, he has enough free time to examine his transformation after the breakthrough. Among the column information on the panel, the most obvious change is the improvement of comprehensive quality. [Comprehensive quality: 3767! That''s right, compared to before, it''s basically an increase in single digits. After breaking through the legend this time, Xia En''s comprehensive quality soared by 30! Almost doubled! It can be imagined that the improvement of the realm of legend is so great. This is a kind of sublimation and transformation at the level of life. [The Apostle of the Sin] The saying that "If you don''t have a legend, you will eventually be an ant" does make some sense. And, you have to know. Before breaking through the legend, Xia En was able to defeat ordinary legendary powerhouses. Once he made a breakthrough, he became the best among the legendary strong men. Although he has never really competed, Xia En felt that he could have some two moves with a strong man like Musa. However, this time, Xia En did not unlock a new profession. Xia En was a little confused at first, but after careful consideration, he quickly came to the conclusion The so-called [Secret Path Career] system is just an extraordinary system unique to [Seven Seas World]. He has seen other promotion paths in other [Secret Realms]. Obviously, it is impossible for each [Secret Realm] to be divided according to the profession of [Seven Seas World]. After breaking through to the legend, the extraordinary person has the initial qualification to walk in the [Secret Sea] without being limited to a single [Secret Realm]. Since it is an existence that transcends the [secret realm], it naturally cannot be measured according to the original secret path profession. However, on the panel, several new lines appear. Rule: Void (5%), Death (1%) Title: None yet The former is not difficult to understand. It is nothing more than the power of the laws that Xia En mastered after he was promoted to the legend. The subsequent progress is his control over the power of the law, and the higher the control. It means that the deeper he understands and uses this law, the stronger the power he can exert. As for the [Title] column. Xia En was also a little confused, but fortunately the panel gave his own comments. [Note: When the imprint left by the legendary powerhouse on the "Great Law" is clear to a certain extent, it will receive a "title" and receive a gift of some kind! [The more widely the "title" is spread, the stronger the "Great Law" gives the extraordinary power or bonus! To be honest, this is the first time Xia En heard of this statement. But I think of the [Thunder Lord] [Old Man of Stars] I met before. Thinking about it now, these are their [titles]! This is probably because of this reason why they are more accustomed to using their [title] rather than their real name. Another thing that surprised Xia En was a little bit. In addition to the [Law of Death] given after the battle with the undead Hanno. He broke through the legend and relied on the [Law of Void]! Although Xia En also guessed that this must be related to his [Void Secret Power]. But Xia En is still confused about what kind of law [Law of Void] is. However, Shane is still very clear about its specific application. Xia En opened his palms and a small tiny black hole was slowly rotating in his hand. It seems small, but in fact it has a trembling and dangerous atmosphere. What is contained in this small black hole is the power of the void. This skill is called [Void Collapse]. It can be regarded as an upgraded version of the previous [Big Dark Sky] effect. A miniature black hole can pull all the surrounding matter in crazily and swallow the secret power around it. The effect is extremely domineering. Another skill that Xia En unlocks is called [Void Echo]. Echo of the Void Quality: Legend Genre: Skill [Description: You can echo with the remaining information in the void. [Therefore, to a certain extent, see the past of something, or some hidden information. [Your perception of spatial fluctuations is becoming clearer and your range is greatly increased. Used with "Secret Eyes" will have unexpected miraculous effects. Compared with [Void Collapse], a highly aggressive skill. [Echo of the Void] is obviously a more resolute ability to reconnaise and perceive. In addition to the existence of [Pupil of Secrets], Xia En can obtain more information and crack more [Secrets]. Although Xia En broke through the legend, it does not mean that he has lost the profession of [Secret Keeper]. Every hidden profession and talent of his will not disappear due to breakthroughs in the rank. Instead, it is in a state of existence at the same time. Therefore, Xia En can still use the help of cracking [Secret] to get gifts and improve his strength. In addition to these obvious changes, Shane also felt that there was some subtle change in his body and soul. His perceptions became sharper and his thinking became clearer, as if the whole world had become more three-dimensional and richer in his eyes. This change is not only an improvement in power, but also a deeper understanding of the essence of the world. Just when Xia En''s thoughts fluctuate. "Captain Shane!" Not far away, a crisp call came. On the deck, Joey with white hair and red eyes walked over. Her steps were light and elegant, with white hair shining silver in the sun, and a lively light flashing in her red pupils. Compared with her previous temperament, she has a little more calmness and confidence, as if she has experienced a transformation. With the transformation of [Seven Seas World], Joey naturally benefited a lot from it. At this time, her rank had already broken through to the sixth level! It''s no longer far from the legend. at the same time. What Shane had previously worried that Joey would be infected by divine sexuality, becoming unlike her own situation, and did not continue to worsen. On the contrary, Joey even began to gradually master this divinity and use it for his own use. Her unique temperament is a proof of this transformation. Those who walked with Joey were An who took off his helmet. Without worrying about the curse of doom. An could completely remove the armor that was in trouble. But I just said that she was used to wearing this armor, and she was a little uncomfortable if she didn''t wear it suddenly. So, after she did a deep cleaning of her armor, she put it back on. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! But now, when you are on the [Black Swan], Anhui takes off his helmet and lives. Looking at the beautiful face that was exactly the same as Leila, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. Thinking about it now, he still felt a little incredible. Leila, who he had been pursuing, had long become his crew. If you have to count the time point. It must be before Shane really knows Laila. This has to make people sigh at the wonders of the law of time. But even so. Shane knew that An was both Laila and not Laila. A person''s personality is composed of experience and memory. From the exchange between Xia En and An, she did not remember most of Laila''s memories, but only vaguely remembered some vague clips. More of her memory is that she was adopted, trained as a knight, and even became a crew member of Shane. So, in Ans self-awareness, she is An, not Laila. The same goes for it. Although Vivian has Laila''s memory, she also tends to see herself as Laila in another world. It can be said. By now, Vivian, Laila and An have become completely independent individuals. It can only be said to be three similar flowers. They have their own personalities, their own choices, and even their feelings for Xia En are different. "Captain Shane, what are you in a daze?" Joey walked over to Shane and patted him on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts. Xia En came to his senses and smiled: "It''s nothing, I''m just thinking about something." Joey blinked and asked with his head tilted, "Are you thinking about Laila?" After the war, Shane told her the story of Layla, so Joey had this question. Shane nodded, not hiding it: "Yes, although An and Vivian are by our side." "But Leila''s ''now'' is gone, I have to find her." An said, "I can feel..." "The [Secret Realm] where the elves are located is getting closer and closer, and may soon merge with [Seven Seas World]." An''s words paused and continued. "However, in the remaining memories in my mind, the elf [Secret Realm] seems to have been imposed with a special barrier." "Its original intention is to protect the elves [Secret Realm] from invasion and contamination by [Defiled Apostles]." "But now, it has become an obstacle to the fusion of the elves [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World]." If it is allowed to be eliminated naturally, it may take decades or even hundreds of years. Upon hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly. "Is it a special barrier..." This is indeed a big problem. He didn''t have that long time to wait for the barrier of the [Elf] secret realm to disappear on its own. Thinking of this, Xia En called the most knowledgeable Ms. Jian on the ship. These days passed. Not only did Jane recover from injuries, but her breath also improved again. After that battle, I witnessed so many collisions of the power of laws, coupled with the increase in the concentration of secret power. Jian, who could already break through the legend at any time, was naturally promoted to the legend and became the second legendary powerhouse on the [Black Swan]. And after listening to Xia En''s words. Jian touched his chin and thought, "Does it wrap the entire barrier of [Secret Realm]?" "This kind of barrier does not seem to be able to be broken by conventional means." "Like the previous secret realm teleportation rituals, I''m afraid they will be isolated." Shane asked, "Then is there any way to get in there?" Jian pondered for a moment and said. "There is still some." "Captain Shane, I wonder if you have ever heard of it. There is a very famous artifact on the Seven Seas, called..." "Fate Weaving Shuttle!" "It is said that it is the instrument of the goddess of destiny, which can weave a portal to a specific [secret realm]." "If you find it, you may be able to directly shuttle into the Elf [Secret Realm]." "But, this artifact has been missing in the Seven Seas for many years." "I don''t know if the power of the Federation can be used to find it..." Xia En is now under the title of the Seven Seas Heroes. If such a request is made to the Federation, it will probably be met. But the worst case scenario is. Even if the federal intelligence network is mobilized, this long-lost magical artifact cannot be found. Shane was frowning and thinking. Qiange on the side heard their conversation and walked over quickly. "You just said... [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" "I''ve heard of this name!" Shane looked at the string song in surprise: "Where is it?" After strenuous songs tried to recall, they said. "I remember, this magical artifact seemed to be... taken away by an ancient dragon." "And I should be very familiar with that dragon..." "Aunt Dragon?" Xia En suddenly came to his senses. Since we mentioned the ancient dragon, we have to mention the rumors that the ancient dragon roared in the sky that have been circulating in the seven seas recently. This means that the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] where the ancient dragon is located is rapidly approaching to the [Seven Seas World]. So much so that Gu Long, who had disappeared from Qihai, broke into people''s sight again. And if it really is what the string song says. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] This artifact was taken away by an ancient dragon. Then, it is likely to exist now in the [Secret Realm] of [Dragon Nest]! Moreover, [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] itself is closely related to string songs. In order to get the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], it seems that it is imperative to go to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]! So Xia En asked, "Xiange, can you sense where [Dragon Nest] is?" "certainly!" Qiange raised his little head and made a brisk dragon sound. "Dragon Nest is summoning me!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 421 The transformation of [Rhine Secret Real Chapter 421 The Transformation of [Rhine Secret Realm] "Dragon Nest is summoning me!" After making a crisp dragon sound. Xian Ge suddenly transformed from a petite loli to transform into a bronze dragon with a length of more than ten meters. Its body is long and agile, its muscle lines are smooth and full of strength, and every muscle seems to contain endless energy. The surface of the bronze scales has delicate and mysterious textures, as if recording the vicissitudes of time. The pair of long crown-like horns above Xian Ge''s head became increasingly prominent and obvious. After the war, the string song also transformed with the transformation of [Seven Seas World]. Ancient races such as ancient dragons and elves are originally the favorites of [Seven Seas World]. The power of the origin of the world flows in their blood. With the recovery and sublimation of the world, the power of string songs has also reached a new level. Now she is approaching the legendary realm infinitely, and she still vaguely shows a bit of the majesty and strength of the past. Looking at the string song in front of you. Xia En couldn''t help but associate her image at this time with the bronze dragon that she had seen in the memory scene and was sleeping in the long sleep. Now. Xia En also guessed the reason why string songs turned into [Ancient Dragon''s Egg]. On [Silent Time], there is [Power of Time and Space] similar to the Bronze Dragon. I think it was probably Leila who borrowed the power of string songs to create the existence of [Sudden Time]. At the cost, Xian Ge degenerated into the state of [Ancient Dragon''s Egg]. Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little guilty or two more when he looked at Xian Ge. If you insist on saying this, this matter has something to do with him. But at this time. Xian Ge obviously didn''t care about such trivial matters. She spread her huge dragon wings, and her bronze scales shone with mysterious light in the sun. The wings swayed gently and a strong wind blew up. The surrounding sea swayed, as if paying tribute to her. Xian Ge''s eyes were like two dazzling gems, revealing a deep light, as if they could see through the end of time and space. roar- She let out another dragon sound, with endless majesty and power in her voice. Her body hovered in the air, as if it was integrated with the heaven and earth. Every time I wave my wings, it is accompanied by a low dragon roar, as if echoing the call of [Dragon''s Nest]. Xia En saw that Xian Ge was communicating with [Dragon Nest] in this way, thus sensing the direction of this [Secret Realm]. "Finished!" Soon, Xian Ge''s eyes lit up suddenly and he looked in a direction in the distance. "Captain Shane, come with me." After saying that, Xian Ge vibrated his wings and galloped in that direction. Seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate and controlled the [Black Swan] to follow Xiange. Xiange seemed to have become the navigator of the [Black Swan] and led them to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. but. Even if you have a string song to lead the way, it will not take you one or two days to arrive at the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Xia En simply handed over the sailing mission to Ship Soul Xiao Hei, and he activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the silver gate to [Rhine Secret Realm]. With a silver light flashing in front of me. A brief sense of weightlessness came. When Xia En opened his eyes again, he came to the main city of [Rhine Secret Realm], in [Rhine City]. At this time, [Rhine City] was very different from when it was first established. The originally simple wooden houses and stone buildings have been replaced by more magnificent and exquisite buildings. The towering towers, arches carved with complex patterns, and the metal and mechanical creations in the city all highlight the prosperity and progress of the city. After some dwarves in the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] were sent to the [Rhine Secret Realm], the smelting and forging skills of [Rhine City] quickly improved. Under the guidance of those craftsmen. The buildings of [Rhine City] are not only built more atmospheric and exquisitely, but also all kinds of minerals produced in [Secret Land] come in handy. The residents in the city also replaced them with a new batch of armor and weapons. And on the streets in the distance, people come and go. The figures of various races are intertwined, the Yongyue tribe, the dwarf, the tree people... They either talk, trade, or hurry up, and the whole city is full of vitality. Xia En stood under the shade of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and took a deep breath. [Rhine Secret Realm] The vitality of air poured into his nose, making him feel indescribable and comfortable. As the Lord of Rhine, there is an indescribable connection between Shane and the [Secret Land of Rhine]. He could clearly sense that the [Rhine Secret Realm] was conveying his intimate and love emotions to himself. It''s just like the time when the Black Swan had just sprouted the soul of the ship. I think this is the will of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. And other than that. Xia En also realized that the secret power of the entire [Rhine Secret Realm] seemed to be constantly increasing. The concentration of secret power gradually increased, and the vitality that was originally filled with as if it was about to overflow, felt a new feeling. It is not difficult for Xia En to guess that this phenomenon is probably related to two things. First, it is the improvement of his own rank. As the Lord of Rhine, who is closely related to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Shane breaks through to the legend and leaves his own mark on the Great Law. [Rhine Secret Realm] also gained certain benefits. Another point. Nature is the sublimation of [Seven Seas World]. Although according to Xia En''s observation, [Rhine Secret Realm] does not have a tendency to integrate with [Seven Seas World]. However, Shane discovered that [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] seem to have some original connection. This connection is likely to be related to the source of the two secret realms, [Secret Sea Air Beast]. one way or another. The changes in [Rhine Secret Realm] are always a good thing. Over the past period of time, batches of promoted extraordinary people have emerged in the [Secret Realm]. Whether it is the Yongyue tribe, the dwarf or the Chuhu people, their physical fitness, strength and spirit have been significantly improved. Especially the few tree elders who were already close to the legend before, they vaguely tend to break through the legend. The overall strength of all residents has made great progress. Xia En''s idea of ??pulling out an army anytime and anywhere is now almost coming true. "Son of the Holy Son!" A familiar call came from behind, and Xia En looked back and saw that it was Sha Jingjing. She was wearing a simple but mysterious white robe. This is the saint costume prepared by the [Yongyue Clan] for her. However, Sha Jingjing''s ears and tail kept shaking, instantly destroying the temperament of the saint. Her face was full of excitement, and she was obviously resisting the urge to pounce. Xia En''s mouth twitched. You are a wolf or not a dog! However, Xia En was already used to the style of sand and crystal shattering, and asked. "How is the situation in [Rhine Secret Realm] during this period?" Sha Jingjing immediately replied, "Everything is fine." "The dwarves'' forging skills have greatly improved our equipment level, and the herbs cultivated by the trees also provide us with strong logistical support." "With everyone''s efforts, the entire city has been built more solid and magnificent." "And, in addition to Indyx, several newborns have been born in [Rhine City]." When he said this, Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En expectantly. She had long wanted to mate with the Holy Son and breed a group of excellent children. Its a pity that Xia En didnt agree for a long time, so he failed to succeed. Xia En just pretended that Sha Jingjing hadn''t seen it and continued to ask. "How is Indyx now?" A trace of resentment flashed in Sha Jingjing''s eyes, but she replied. "Indyx is fine now." "The blood power in her body seemed to have undergone some strange transformation, making her much stronger than ordinary newborns." No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "A few months after being born, Indyx already has the power of a first-level secret path." Shane touched his chin: "This should be related to the previous name." As the first newborn of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Naturally, he was favored by [Secret Realm Will], and coupled with the name of Xia En, the [Lord of Rhine], it is normal to show some different things from ordinary people since childhood. Afterwards, Xia En asked Sha Jingjing some things about [Rhine City] one after another. Sha Jingjing also answered one by one. During his time when he was not in the [Rhine Secret Realm], Sha Jingjing was basically equivalent to the acting lord of the [Rhine City], and was responsible for many affairs in the city. This is the answer. Dont look like Sha Jingjing looks like this in front of Xia En. But in the eyes of residents of [Rhine City], Sha Jingjing is a real saint and has a very noble status. It is an existence where people will deliver gifts when walking in the city. However, it is obvious that the increasing number of management personnel is not an easy task. Thinking of this, Xia En patted Sha Jingjing on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work during this period." "Not hard!" Sha Jingjing shook her head, but being praised by Xia En obviously made her feel very happy. Her eyes looked at Xia En were full of gratitude and respect. "Sir Shane, we can come from [Sand Island] to [Rhine Secret Land] and build a new home relying on your protection and guidance." "We [Yongyue Clan] will always remember your kindness." Shane shook his head: "I just made some small contributions." To avoid Sha Jingjing continuing this topic. Shane continued to ask, "So, has there been any problems with [Rhine Secret Realm] recently?" Sha Jingjing hesitated and said. "There is no big problem, but..." We found some weird signs. "A strange sign?" Xia En frowned slightly: "What is it?" Sha Jingjing explained: "In the forest farther away from [Rhine City], some traces of unknown creatures appeared." "There are some similarities to the last time the beast tide came, but there are also obvious differences." "Traces of unknown creatures..." Xia En pondered for a moment, his expression a little serious. He knew that there were actually a group of ancient and mysterious indigenous peoples in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. They are hidden in dense forests, mountains and lakes deep in the secret realm, isolated from the world and rarely come into contact with the outside world. Even the [Yongyue people] and the dwarves rarely have the chance to see their traces. Moreover, these indigenous people obviously have considerable hostility towards outsiders such as Xia En. The first beast tide was the control of this group of indigenous people behind the scenes. If they plan to launch an attack on Rhine City... Shane opens the panel. His eyes swept across it. [Secret Realm Exploration: 18.9%! He once speculated that every stage of the increase in the exploration of the secret realm may lead to some unknown disaster. Now, it is the moment when the exploration level is about to reach 20%. This seems to prove that his previous guess was correct. Just don''t know... Is this disaster just a coincidence, or is it some kind of assessment from [The Secret Sea]? Moreover, in what form will this disaster that will come to [Rhine Secret Realm] occur? Many distracting thoughts flashed in his heart, but Xia En''s face remained silent and ordered Sha Jingjing. "You continue to send people to pay attention to the traces of those unknown creatures, and let me know anytime if there is any new discovery." "At the same time, accelerate the training progress of the [Rhine City] army and the forging of weapons and equipment." "Maybe in a while, there will be a tough battle waiting for us." Although Xia En''s current strength has broken through the legend. But this does not mean that he can underestimate the disaster in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. He had a premonition in his heart that the first beast tide was just the most common test. The real danger is still ahead! Only by improving the overall strength of [Rhine City] as soon as possible can you survive such a disaster. Sha Jingjing nodded heavily: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" Not long. Xia En, accompanied by Sha Jingjing, wandered around in [Rhine City]. There are many things that are difficult to explain clearly, and only by seeing them with your own eyes can you understand them clearly. However, in order to avoid attracting the attention of other people, Xia En made simple disguise. Soon, the two of them came to the streets of Rhine City. Walk on this street in person. Only then did Xia En feel the transformation of [Rhine City] more clearly. The spacious and tidy roads, the bustling market, the widely used steam engines, and the scene of mixed living in different races... look extremely harmonious and prosperous. And outside the city. The workshop built by the dwarves is being forged vigorously. The heat waves inside were rushing, and the fire was raging. These dwarves who smuggled from the [Secret Realm of the Melting Furnace] have quickly adapted to the life of the [Secret Realm of the Rhine]. After all, compared to the [Milt Furnace Secret Realm], which never sees the light of day and is dangerous and hot underground space. The environment of [Rhine Secret Land] can almost be described as "paradise"! Living in the [Rhine Secret Land] is simply the dream of dwarves for generations! Even if you need to do tasks such as ironwork and forging, you are allowed to live in the [Rhine City]. But then again. In the [Secret Realm of the Melting Furnace], dont they have to forge weapons and equipment every day in order to survive? Therefore, when it comes to motivation for work, the dwarves are the most prosperous and strong among the ethnic groups. After glanced at the scene inside the workshop, Xia En nodded secretly. With his experience in playing business strategy games. For a whole [secret realm], population alone is not enough. Only by climbing the technology tree and mining forging can we walk fast and steadily. (End of this chapter) Chapter 422 [Obs of the Second Disaster] [Glorious L Chapter 422 [Omen of the Second Disaster] [Land of Glory] Shane stopped outside the workshop for a moment, watching the dwarves skillfully waving their hammers, sparks splashing. The sound of metal collisions is endless. Their skills are exquisite, and each forged weapon and armor exudes a unique luster, which is obviously of high quality. The dwarfs forging skills are indeed extraordinary. Xia En sighed in a low voice. The dwarf''s craftsmanship, coupled with the specialty of [Rhine Secret Realm], and various high-end materials he harvested from the Seven Seas. The equipment created is naturally extraordinary. Especially for warriors like the [Yongyue Clan] who rely on their physical bodies to fight, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have more lives. If you insist on saying anything has its shortcomings. That''s... The yield is too low! Or, there are not enough dwarf craftsmen. Thinking of this, Xia En touched his chin. "It seems that you have to go to the [Mulched Furnace Secret Realm] again, and the more turning points of the dwarfs are back." It has been a while since Xia En last visited the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm]. It was mainly a group of people in the [Far North], and they were wasting too much time when they fought with [Dayan] and [The Apostle of the Sin]. He didn''t forget to help the Warhammer Tribe retrieve other [Ancestor Totem Fragments]. And obviously, with the recovery of [Totem Fragments]. The dwarves of the Warhammer Tribe also became more trusting and respectful to Xia En. At that time, maybe you can migrate the entire Warhammer Tribe to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for your own use. Thinking about these future plans in my mind. Xia En walked to the training ground of [Rhine City] with Sha Jingjing unknowingly. On the training ground, the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan] and the Shuren Clan are training enthusiastically. The Yongyue tribe members who were equipped with new weapons were generally not very adaptable. After all, their conditions on the Island of Sands are too harsh. They often dont even have decent weapons, so that the Yongyue people are more accustomed to fighting with their powerful bodies. After putting on the Dwarf armor, I was inevitably a little bit restrained. Because of this. Shane only needs to train them again. The way of fighting alone and fighting in small teams in the past is naturally understandable when used on [Sand Island]. But in an environment like the [Rhine Secret Realm], it is still necessary to learn the collective combat methods. Not only the [Yongyue Clan], but also the warriors of the Shuren clan have also replaced them with new equipment. only. What is different from the armor of the [Yongyue Clan]. The equipment that Xia En equipped for the tree people is a special energy absorption and storage device. From the outside, it is a crystal painted with magic patterns. This device can continuously absorb the vitality and secret forces in nearby air. Complementing with the huge size of the tree man. Its functions are somewhat similar to "solar panels", which can only be controlled by a race like a tree man. And other than that. On the "shoulders" of the tree people, that is, in the canopy and on the branches, a secret heavy cannon was installed. Just instill secret power into it and you can fire powerful energy shells. It just happens to cooperate with the previous secret absorber. It can be said that this is turning the tree people into walking turrets. It can not only capture cities and plunder land, but also guard the home. It is this style of painting that combines tree people with heavy artillery, which is always a bit subtle and weird. However, the tree people are not very skilled in using secret power heavy artillery. It''s the same as the [Yongyue Clan] who has not yet fully mastered the use of thermal weapons. So, in this regard. Xia En also hired a special instructor to guide the training of [Yongyue Clan] and the tree of people. In the crowd. Feiya, wearing a red and black men''s clothing, tried extremely fiercely, but she still couldn''t hide the delicateness and exquisiteness of her face. Feiya was holding a huge gun that was not quite consistent with his size and was talking to the soldiers in the training ground. "I''m sure!" Just finished speaking. The muzzle of the big gun suddenly spit out a rapid tongue of flames. The goal is the shooting range not far away. Bang! Bang! Bang! The gunshots sounded like storm immediately. Several targets on the shooting range shattered in response to the sound. However, Feiya''s thin body stood firmly in place, not moving at all because of the recoil of the gun. The many soldiers were silent first, and then burst into a burst of marvelous screams. "So strong!" "Instructor Feiya is really amazing!" Whether it is the shooting accuracy or the control of guns, Fei Ya was amazed by everyone. Feiya also showed a small look of pride on her face, but soon, she was covered with her as severe expression as possible. It''s not difficult to see. Feiya''s aura has also improved a lot. The gold color in his pupils is more obvious and pure, and his appearance is more exquisite, as if it has been optimized. The overall feeling is both elegant and dangerous. This is also the change brought about by the transformation of [Seven Seas World]. However, because Feiya only broke through the sixth level not long ago. There is still a long way from being a legendary powerhouse. Just then. The soldiers on the training ground discovered Shane''s arrival. They stopped their actions and saluted Xia En respectfully. "Son of the Holy Son!" "Son of the Holy Son!" Greetings sounded one after another. Feiya''s eyes lit up, and she quickly walked towards Xia En. Seeing this, Xia En had the urge to say "your salt and my vinegar". However, he just thought about it and nodded in response with a smile. Xia En walked forward, patted several soldiers on the shoulders, and encouraged, "Thank you all for your hard work, continue training." "There may be a few more tough battles to fight after that." When the soldiers heard Xia En''s encouragement, their fighting spirit suddenly ignited in their eyes. They answered in unison: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" At this time. Feiya also came to Xia En. Shane asked, looking at the old crew member who had been following him from [Silver Moon Island]. "Are you still adapting to your life during this period in [Rhine Secret Realm]?" Feiya nodded and said, "It''s pretty good." "The environment here is actually much more comfortable than at Qihai." There are also many steam machinery for me to study. "Also, these soldiers from the [Yongyue Clan] are also very obedient, and the people in the city respect me very much." Xia En sighed, "Thank you for your hard work." "If you want to go back to the boat, you can tell me anytime." Feiya responded, "I will." Xia En nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and left the training ground. He knew in his heart that although the strength of [Rhine City] was constantly improving. But in the face of the unknown disaster that is coming, they still need more preparation. Xia En suddenly spoke, "By the way, Sha Jingjing, take me to see the traces of those unknown creatures." Sha Jingjing was stunned and nodded: "Yes, Lord Holy Son." The two quickly left [Rhine City] and walked towards the forest in the distance. As they gradually penetrated into the forest, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more gloomy. The trees are tall and dense, and the sunlight is almost impossible to penetrate the branches and leaves. The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and it made a rustling sound when stepped on. Although the air is filled with vitality, it inexplicably gives people a less comfortable feeling. Not long. Sha Jingjing stopped and pointed to a clearing in front of her and said. "It''s here." No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Xia En walked forward and carefully observed the ground. There are some huge footprints in the clearings not far away, like some large creature, but in a completely different shape than the common beasts. There are subtle cracks on the edges of the footprints, as if they were eroded by some corrosive liquid. Even a faint emitting... A decayed breath? "decay?" Shane frowned immediately. He did not forget that a certain apostle of the [] had the ability to transform things into decay. Is this a simple coincidence? Or... Xia En squatted down and reached out to touch the edges of the footprints. A slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips, as if something was eroding his skin. Xia En raised his brow and immediately withdrew his hand. With his current physique, it is difficult to have ordinary secret power to hurt him. And this residual erosion in the footprints is obviously not ordinary. Sha Jingjing also noticed Xia En''s serious attitude and his expression became solemn. "Sir, what should we do?" Xia En stood up and looked deep into the forest with deep eyes. "Continue to send people to monitor these traces, and strengthen the defense of [Rhine City]." "If these creatures are really hostile to us, we have to prepare in advance." Sha Jingjing Zheng pointed at the head: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" Shane didn''t say anything else and turned around and walked towards [Rhine City]. He felt a little uneasy, as if there was a huge threat approaching. Perhaps, behind each stage of the disaster in [Rhine Secret Realm], there is some other secret. The entire [Rhine Secret Realm] may undergo some changes due to the disaster. The Land of Glory On a quaint square filled with glory and tall stone pillars. There are obviously many more figures of Hui scholars than before. With the war ended. The Federation fulfilled its commitment to Latiwen and Moussa, and built the Huijiao church on important islands such as [Liuli Island]. Although the Federation did not elevate the Ching Church to the Orthodox status of the [Deep Sea Church] in general. But after the deeds of Musa and Latiwen spread, the number of people who believed in Hui Cult is naturally increasing day by day. At least, it is no longer just a small-scale and small-scale esoteric religion like before. Because of this, the number of believers who can enter the [Land of Glory] continues to increase. And today is the day when the [Land of Glory] holds a rally as usual. Many figures in the light ball have been here for the first time to come to [Land of Radiance], and they are inevitably shocked by the scene here. And those old believers of the Hui Sect also found that the recent [Going Land] has undergone some indescribable changes. They seemed to be able to perceive the glorious secret power belonging to [Lord of Radiance] more clearly. You can even vaguely detect the existence of a great will. This phenomenon is almost impossible to occur in the original [Great Land]. Actually, this is not difficult to understand. [The Land of Glory] is equivalent to a [Secret Realm Fragment] displaced outside the [Seven Seas World]. Or, it is a space in the cracks. It will neither completely merge with [Seven Seas World] nor will it become a complete [Secret Realm]. But even so. It will also be affected by [Seven Seas World]. With the "restraints" imposed by [] on [Seven Seas World] is lifted. The power of [Lord of Radiance] was able to enter this world more. At this moment. In the square, tall stone pillars cast long shadows under the sunlight, as if they were guarding this sacred land. There was a quiet and solemn atmosphere in the air, as if even the wind had become soft. I dare not disturb this glorious place. The believers who appeared in the state of light gathered together in groups of three or three, whispering in a low voice, with piety and awe on their faces. Suddenly, the light ball in the center of the square began to tremble slightly, emitting a more dazzling light. The believers stopped one after another and focused their eyes on the ball of light. The light in the light ball gradually condenses, forming a vague human-shaped outline. Although the outline is blurry, it exudes a sacred and purity that cannot be ignored. Immediately someone recognized the identity of the light group. "It''s Lord Latiwen!" An old believer whispered excitedly. With the end of the award ceremony, Latiwen became the hottest figure inside [Huijiao]. Musa was originally the Archbishop of Hui and had an extremely respectable status. Even without this incident, Musa was the first person in the Hui Cult. But Latiwen''s situation is different. He was originally a little famous in the younger generation, but it still came from his identity as [Glow Container]. But now, we have the record of participating in the "final battle". Latiwen''s identity has risen and she suddenly became a new generation of geniuses who are highly anticipated and are looking forward to. The new believers held their breath and stared at the outline in the glory. They felt a warm force emanating from the light ball, as if soothing their hearts and dispelling their inner fear and anxiety. "Welcome, new believers." Latiwen''s gentle voice rang. Then, the pure light ball quickly turned into the appearance of a handsome boy. Latiwen''s figure gradually became clear. He was wearing a white robe with golden radiance embroidered on his collar, symbolizing the protection of the Lord of Radiance. His face was exquisite and soft, and his eyes seemed to contain endless brilliance, which made people dare not look directly at but were close to him. "That''s Lord Latiwen?" "So...beautiful!" Everyone couldn''t help but let out a low scream. Many people did not expect that Latiwen, who is famous in the Qihai, would be such a beautiful boy. But at this moment. A deep black light suddenly appeared in the clearing ground not far away. The black light was as dark as ink, as if it was not mixed with any distortion. The pure white light and Latiwen seem to be at two extremes. Some believers who are unknown are inexplicably panicked. "What''s going on with the black light?" "Why do you look so ominous?" But Latiwen was not surprised but happy. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked quickly towards the direction of the black light. (End of this chapter) Chapter 423 【Black Tide】 Chapter 423 [Black Tide] Soon, all believers noticed Latiwen''s expression and movements. When approaching the black light. The expression on his face was extremely respectful, as if he was welcoming someone he respected and admired. Many believers of the Hui Cult who had just arrived at [The Land of Hui Yao] were inexplicably surprised. Who can make Lord Latiwen show such an expression? Those believers who have seen this dark black light involuntarily developed a sense of awe. "It''s that lord here!" Hearing this, many people reacted and looked in that direction with shock and curiosity. Unfortunately, the dark ball of light did not transform into a human form. Just maintaining its glorious shape, Latiwen''s body enveloped it. However, Latiwen''s voice still revealed the identity of this black light. "Mr. Xiaen! You are here!" Hearing this, the believers nearby couldn''t help but feel excited. "Mr. Shane? Is that great hero who saved the world?" "The only winner of the [Far North Light] Medal?" "So, he is also a member of the Hui Sect?" Aware of this, many believers suddenly felt a little proud in their hearts. However, many people were a little curious about why Xia En did not participate in the grand medal ceremony. Is there some gap with the Federation? Or does Xia En have a more important mission to complete? at the same time. In the black light''s package, Latiwen also realized that her words exposed Xia En''s identity and quickly apologized. "Sorry, Lord Shane..." Xia En waved his hand and said, "It''s okay." "Besides, the color of my soul light is not realistic even if I want to hide it." "but" Xia En said with some sarcasm: "It seems that Latiwen, you have become the pillar of Hui Sect now." "So many believers are pursuing and respecting you." Hearing this, Latiwen''s little face turned red. "What''s the matter." "That''s also thanks to Lord Shane''s contribution in infiltrating the operation." "If it were me alone, I would have died in that war long ago." Although Latiwen is already a big shot in front of other believers, she will also show some temperament that is transcendent to the ordinary. But his nature is still a kind, innocent, and shy boy. After Xia En said this, Latiwen couldn''t help feeling embarrassed. Xia En is the shy boy who is easy to be dotted and did not continue on this topic. There are too many people here, not a place to chat. "Let''s go and talk." Latiwen nodded quickly and said, "Okay." Soon, the two arrived at a relatively remote corner of [The Land of Race]. Although, Xia En''s black light still attracts others'' attention. But the actions of the two also proved that they hoped that no outsiders would disturb their conversation. The other believers also had a tacit understanding and did not get close to this area. "Sir Xia, how are your injuries?" Latiwen asked first. He did not forget that after the war, Xia En''s body was eroded by the power of extinction, and he looked miserable and almost broken with one touch. Xia En smiled slightly, and a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes. "It''s much better. Although it hasn''t fully recovered, it''s completely fine before normal combat." Latiwen breathed a sigh of relief, and a gratified smile appeared on her face: "That''s good." "You are the hope of our Hui Cult and the hero of the whole world." "No, no, why do you say that?" Xia En shook his head and said helplessly: "Hero or something is just a title imposed on me by others." I just did what I thought I should do. "If you really want to say, all those who participate in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are heroes." "Even... I can defeat the [Apostle of Sin] in the end, and more so, rely on the power of others." Speaking of this, Xia En''s expression was a little heavy. Dont look at the process of his final killing of the [Apostle of Sin], it seems very simple and crude. But that is actually mostly Laila''s credit. Whether it is the [Power of Nirvana] in another world, or the [Dayan] cage prepared for the [Apostle of Great Sin]. Without any of these factors, it is impossible to truly kill the [Apostle of Sin]. Before that, the delays of powerful people such as Xinwang also played a huge role. It can be said. Laila and King of Sin have paved the road for Xia En. And he himself is actually just an executor. If you change to another secret path, you may be able to do this. In fact. Shane did not attend the award ceremony, and this was also the case. He believes that he is not the most critical contributor in this incident. Leila and the King of Fire are the real heroes. It''s just because the two of them, one of them, traded with the [Blind God of Idiot], and their true body disappeared. Another person was seriously injured and turned into a fire, which may take decades to restore his human form. In order to boost the morale of the civilians, the Seven Seas Federation was preparing to set Xiaen as a "hero" and "a role model." At the same time, it is also to encourage the surviving people in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. But for Xia En, he felt a little guilty, so he avoided the public award ceremony. However, Xia En just thought about this idea himself and would not reveal it to others. at this time. Xia En did not continue the topic and instead asked, "Latiwen, what is the situation of Hui Cultivation recently?" "I heard that your influence in the Seven Seas World is getting bigger and bigger." Latiwen nodded, with a hint of pride in her tone: "Yes, Lord Xiaen." The recent growth of believers is awesome. "And, there''s one more thing." "The Glow Cathedral on [Lilac Island] is about to be completed." At that time, I will be the first bishop of the cathedral. "Sir Xia En can go there to find me if you have time in the future." Shane nodded, I will. However, as he heard that the number of people who believe in the Glorious Sect increased day by day, his mood was inevitably a little complicated. The [Billions of Glorious Lords] believed in by the Hui Cult is an external **** from the [Secret Sea]. As His followers continue to grow, it is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. But then I thought about it. The Hui Sect at that time even became the Orthodox Church of the [Seven Seas World], with faith spread throughout the kingdoms. There seems to be no incident of [Lord of Radiance] invading this world. Perhaps, in the eyes of [Lord of Radiance], [Seven Seas World] is just a small secret realm under His rule. No need to pay too much attention. Or perhaps, for Him, it would be enough to just such a steady harvest of the power of faith. And, on the other hand. The growth of Hui Sect has become the general trend. It is impossible to stop Xia En''s power, so at present, we can only let it go. After thinking for a while, Xia En said to Latiwen. "The power of faith is indeed strong, but be careful not to turn faith into blind worship." "The original intention of Hui Cult is to guide people toward light, not to let them get lost in the illusory brilliance." Latiwen nodded solemnly: "I understand, Lord Xia En." "We will always keep in mind the teachings of the Hui Cult and will never let our faith deviate from its original intention." Xia En smiled with satisfaction: "With a bishop like you, I feel relieved about the future of Hui Cult." No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Latiwen''s face turned red again, and he lowered his head and whispered. "Sir Shane has gone too far. I still have a lot of things to learn from you." Xia En patted Latiwen on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone: "You have done a good job, Latiwen." "I also want to ask you about the big events worth mentioning in the Seven Seas recently." [The Land of Race] serves as a mysterious space that connects many believers of the Race Sect in the Seven Seas. Naturally, it is equivalent to an intelligence network that can communicate in real time. Of course, Xia En would not miss this kind of tool for inquiring about information. "Yes, Lord Shane." After a brief thought, Latiwen said: "There is indeed a big event that has attracted much attention recently on Qihai." Thats "In the sea of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana], a dark wave appeared out of thin air!" "People call it [Black Sea] [Black Tide]!" Latiwen''s tone became serious, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. "The appearance of that [Black Tide] was unpredictable, as if it had surged out from the seabed overnight and spread rapidly." According to witnesses, wherever [the dark tide] goes. "The sea water has become as viscous as ink, and the sky has been dyed dark gray, and even the sun cannot penetrate." "What''s even more terrifying is that any creature that comes into contact with the [Black Tide], whether it is fish or sea beasts, will lose its vitality in a short period of time and turn into dark dead bones." Xia En frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Has anyone tried to investigate the source of [Black Tide]?" Latiwen nodded: "The Seven Seas Federation has sent several investigation teams, but so far no team can penetrate into the core area of ??[Kuri Tide]." "According to the captain''s instructions in [Kuri Tide], some weird creatures they have never seen before emerged in [Kuri Tide]." "It''s simply...it doesn''t look like the existence of this world!" "They will attack all ships entering the [Black Tide] without any difference, and their strength is quite good." Latiwen paused and continued. "At present, the Seven Seas Federation has designated most of the sea areas of the [Sea of ??Nirvana] as a restricted area, and no ships are allowed to approach." Dark TideSea of ??Nirvana Xia En touched his chin thoughtfully. He once went to [Sea of ??Nirvana] and had a battle with the clone [Giant Wood God], who was suspected to be [Sini Shi Ming]. Therefore, we know that the sea environment in [Sea of ??Nirvana] is particularly unique. Although Xia En thought of the [Dark Disaster] in the [The Secret Sea] at the first time. But then I thought about it, the scale of that kind of disaster would definitely not just occupy a small area of ??sea. That is, this is another reason for unknown existence. And the phenomenon described by Latiwen. [Black Tide] seems to be a disaster caused by the integration of another [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World]. The problem is. What kind of [Secret Realm] is full of [Black Tide] that erodes creatures and weird and fierce monsters? "Wait, [Sea of ??Nirvana] [Secretary]?" A flash of inspiration in Xia En''s mind. He used to think that the name [Sea of ??Nirvana] was just because of the particularity of that sea area. It is the same name as [Witch of Nirvana] [Power of Nirvana], and it is just a coincidence. But if... Isn''t this a coincidence? Since [Witch of Nirvana] and [Coffin of Eternity], it can be teleported from another destroyed [Seven Seas World] to Xia En. Doesnt this mean that the destroyed [Seven Seas World] exists in the [Secret Sea] at the same time? That is to say. What is connected to [Sea of ??Nirvana] is the [Seven Seas World] that was destroyed by [Sizumi Mind]! ? Thinking of this, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but hopped. This conjecture sounds incredible at first glance. But it is not impossible. Although the [Apostle of Sin] died, [The Mind] and other [Apostle of Silence] obviously would not let go of [The World of Seven Seas] easily. And the destroyed [Seven Seas World] is filled with their residual filthy secret power. If [Black Tide] flows back into [Seven Seas World] through [Secret Seas], it will be another extremely terrifying disaster. certainly. Such an idea is only Xia En''s guess at the moment, and there is no substantial proof. even so. Xia En still informed Latiwen of this guess. After listening, Latiwen''s expression changed suddenly. "Sir Xia, what do you mean is... [Kuri Tide] may be another world, a harbinger of invasion of our world?" This possibility is not ruled out. Shane nodded: "Although it is not completely certain yet, we must plan for the worst." Latiwen took a deep breath, a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes. "I understand, Lord Xiaen." "I will immediately notify the senior management of Hui Cult to strengthen investigation and prevention of [Kuri Tide]." "At the same time, I will also inform General Moritz of this news." "If it were him, he would definitely understand the seriousness of the situation." Xia En nodded, feeling a little relieved. With the assistance of Latiwen, Huijiao and the Federation, at least... they will not face possible disasters without any preparation. Xia En patted Latiwen on the shoulder with a little relief in her tone. "Thank you for your hard work, Latiwen." "I feel relieved to have a partner like you." Latiwen said seriously: "This is what I should do." Afterwards, Latiwen informed Xia En about some information from the Seven Seas. Xia En listened carefully. Among them, he also accidentally learned a news "You mean that the location of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is near the [Sea of ??Nirvana]?" Shane asked with a weird expression. "Yes." Latiwen focused heavily: "In fact, the reason why many people know that the appearance of [Black Tide] is because..." "They want to go to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] to explore." "The roar of the dragon often sounds on the [Sea of ??Nirvana]." "After all, that is the ancient dragon that has been lost for thousands of years. It is normal for people to be curious." (End of this chapter) Chapter 424 【Sea of ??Nirvana】【Wake up Vivian】 Chapter 424 [Sea of ??Nirvana] [Awakening Vivian] "However, because of the emergence of [Kuri Tide]." "The sea of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana] was blocked by the federal government, and those ships could not continue to approach, so the specific location of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] could not be confirmed." Latiwen looked at Xia En''s expression and suddenly woke up. "Sir Xia En, do you want to go to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Shane nodded: "That''s right." "In the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], there is something I have to get." "I see." Ratiwen didn''t ask what that thing was, but said. "Please be careful, Lord Xia En." "And, if it''s about the [Sea of ??Nirvana], you might ask Ms. Nuanxue." Xia En naturally did not forget the "Wuanwu" [Warm Snow Number] on [Sea of ??Nirvana]. The captain is Mrs. Ji Ya, code-named [Nuanxue]. Previously, Xia En had a brief cooperation with her in the incident of [City of Giant Trees]. I have a certain understanding. Moreover, Mrs. Ji Ya herself is also a member of the Hui Sect. Therefore, the information obtained from her is relatively reliable. Thinking of this, Xia En nodded and said. "Then please come here, Ms. [Nuanxue]." Today is the day when the [Huijiao] holds a rally, so Mrs. Ji Ya will naturally come to participate. Not long after. Latiwen took Ji Ya to Xia En. Seeing Xia En, who was shrouded in black light at this time, Ji Ya couldn''t help but stir up some turmoil in her heart. By the heart. Her vision is already very excellent in Qihai. At the beginning, when she first met, she also saw what Xia En was unusual. That''s why Ji Ya asked her sister and crew to treat Xia En and his [Black Swan] more politely. But even so. Ji Ya didn''t expect it. After that, Xia En not only scattered the [City of Giant Trees] that was eroding the entire [Sea of ??Nirvana], but even became a key figure in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. Become a great hero to save the world. Moreover, judging from Xia En''s aura at this time, he has obviously been promoted to the legendary realm! And from the last time we parted, it has been less than a year. Thinking of this, Ji Ya couldn''t help feeling a little dazed. Such deeds are even more bizarre than some epic legends on the Seven Seas. However, Ji Ya is a personal participant in this legendary experience. Her mood is inevitably a little complicated. Soon, Ji Ya calmed down and respectfully saluted Xia En. "Mr. Xia En, I haven''t seen you for a long time, and your style is better than the past." Xia En smiled slightly, his tone was calm. "Madam Ji Ya, there is no need to be too polite." "I''m asking you for information about [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [Black Tide]." Ji Ya nodded and her expression became serious. "In fact, I have witnessed the ups and downs of [the dark tide] with my own eyes." "oh?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Please tell me in detail." Ji Ya took a deep breath and said slowly, "When [Kuri Tide] first appeared, we didn''t care too much." "Abnormal phenomena in the Seven Seas are not uncommon after all." "But soon, we found that things were much worse than we thought." "That black wave seemed to have life, constantly devouring everything around you." "The sea water has become viscous and there is a decay in the air." "The most terrifying thing is that any creature that comes into contact with the [Black Tide] will lose its vitality in an instant and turn into dark dead bones." Ji Ya paused and continued. "To be honest, that kind of scene has a subtle commonality with the tree people in the [City of Giant Trees]." "The tree people in those days would attack and capture other sea beasts and ships, and offer sacrifices to the deities they believed in." "And the whole piece of [Black Tide] seems to be devouring other creatures, thus making itself grow stronger." "If you insist on saying it, that [black tide] is alive!" Xia En touched her chin with a thoughtful look on her face. Ji Ya''s words vaguely confirmed his previous guess. There is indeed some connection between [Kuri Tide] and [Film Siming]! Xia En asked again, "I also heard that there is a weird creature in [Black Tide]?" "Yes." Ji Ya''s expression became even more serious: "I''ve never seen a creature like that before." "They have a twisted and weird appearance, as if they are condensed from pure darkness." "The conventional means can hardly kill it." "They will attack any ships close to the [Black Tide] indiscriminately, and some ships are even dragged into the depths of the [Black Tide] by them and never come back." Xia En pondered for a moment and asked. "What do you think the source of [Kuri Tide] may be?" Ji Ya shook her head and said, "I dare not make a conclusion." "One thing is certain, [Black Tide] is related to some kind of power in [Sea of ??Nirvana]." A strange look flashed in Xia En''s eyes: "Do you think so too?" Ji Ya smiled bitterly and said, "This is just my guess." "After all, the name of [Sea of ??Nirvana] has a long history." "And, just some legends I''ve heard." "The reason why [Sea of ??Nirvana] seems extremely dangerous is because there is a passage to another world in the depths of this sea area." "Make the concentration of secret forces in the sea water particularly abnormal." "And now, with the integration of [Seven Seas World] with other [Secret Realms], this led to the emergence of [Black Tide]." After hearing these words, Xia En was secretly surprised. Although Ji Ya is not like herself, she knows relevant information about []. However, based on her experience and cognition, similar conclusions have been drawn. Xia En thought for a moment, and his guess about [Black Tide] became clearer. He looked at Ji Ya and said solemnly, "Madam Ji Ya, thank you for your information." "Next, I plan to go to [Sea of ??Nirvana] in person to find the location of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "At the same time, explore the secrets about [Kuri Tide]." "If you have any new discoveries, please be sure to notify me in time." Ji Ya nodded seriously and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Xia En, I will continue to pay attention to the trends of [Kei Tide]." "If you need any help, [Nuanxue] is always waiting for your arrangement." Then. Xia En exchanged information with Latiwen, Ji Ya and others, and then left [Land of Rays]. A few days later. The marginal sea area of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana]. On the sea, the originally deep sea water became darker and a disturbing sense of depression filled the air. The distant skyline was shrouded in a thick layer of black clouds, and the whole world seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray tones. The black swan, with its dark hull, quietly sailed into this sea area. Shane stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance with deep eyes. He could feel that the breath of this sea area was completely different from before. The feeling of decay and silence was extremely strong, as if even the air became viscous and suffocating. At this time. Joey walked to Shane and looked at the sea not far away, and couldn''t help but frown. "[Sea of ??Nirvana]...has it actually turned into this?" The former [Sea of ??Nirvana] was already the most dangerous among the seven major sea areas. Especially the tree people occupy the sea area where [City of Giant Trees] is located, and it once became a "forbidden zone for life." But even so. The [Sea of ??Nirvana] at that time was not as dead and desolate as it is now. This shows the impact of [Kuri Tide]. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! However, on the distant sea, there are several federal [hunting ships] hovering. Notice the arrival of [Black Swan]. Soon, a [hunting boat] was sailing in their direction. But after approaching the [Black Swan], the other party seemed to quickly realize the identity of the owner of the ship. The expressions of the crew members on the ship quickly changed from vigilance to awe and excitement. Immediately, they conveyed friendly greetings to the [Black Swan] through flag slogans and light signals. Shane nodded slightly, signaling Joey to respond to the other party''s signal. Soon, an officer on the [Ship Ship] shouted to the [Black Swan] through the megaphone. "Dear Lord Xia En, welcome to [Sea of ??Nirvana]." "We are the Third Patrol Fleet of the Federal Navy and are ordered to be alerted to the movements of the [Black Tide]. Do you need assistance or guidance?" Faced with the well-deserved federal heroes, these federal officers'' attitudes are naturally extremely respectful and friendly. Xia En walked forward, his voice calm and powerful. "Thank you for your greetings." "I''m visiting this to investigate the source of [Black Tide] and find the location of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "If you have any latest information about [Kuri Tide], please share it with us." The officer was obviously surprised by Shane''s purpose, but he quickly recovered his composure and replied. "Sir Xia, we don''t have much information about [Kuri Tide]." At present, it is only known that its scope of activity is expanding. "And, more and more weird creatures emerge from the [Black Tide]." Xia En frowned slightly and continued to ask. "Have you ever tried to go deep into the core area of ??[Kuri Tide]?" The officer shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. We sent out several reconnaissance squads, but they either lost contact or brought back extremely chaotic reports. "Their reason seems to be contaminated by some indescribable existence." According to the survivors, the core area of ??[Kuri Tide] seems to be a completely different world, full of twisted spaces and incomprehensible phenomena. Our current strength is not enough to penetrate it. Xia En nodded, and had a clearer understanding of the dangers of [Black Tide]. He pondered for a moment, then said. "Thank you for your reminder, we will act carefully." "If you find any abnormal situations, please notify us in time." The officer responded respectfully: "Yes, Lord Xiaen." "I wish you all the best." As the [Ship Ship] slowly sailed away, the [Black Swan] continued to move towards the depths of the [Sea of ??Nirvana]. The atmosphere on the sea became more and more depressing, and a decadent atmosphere filled the air. It seems that even time is getting slow here. And that''s when. Xia En noticed that a strange wave suddenly came from the [Eternal Coffin] placed deep in the cabin. After calling Vivian''s [Power of Nirvana] last time. There is some kind of connection between Xia En and this [Eternal Coffin]. Coupled with Xia En''s control over the Black Swan, he naturally felt the abnormal movement of the [Eternal Coffin] at the first time. "This is" Xia En''s face changed, and his figure seemed to merge into the void. When he appeared again, he came to the depths of the cabin, in front of the [Coffin of Eternity]. At this time, the [Eternal Coffin] was trembling slightly. It''s like resonating with an outside existence. Xia En stared at the [Eternal Coffin] and frowned. He could feel that the silent [power of extinction] in the coffin was slowly awakening. It''s like being pulled by some kind of external energy. The runes on the surface of the coffin flickered slightly, emitting a dark light, creating a strange resonance with the surrounding space. "Vivian..." Xia En whispered in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy. Since the last time he borrowed [The Power of Nirvana], Vivian''s consciousness has been in a state of sleep. At this moment, the abnormal movement of [Eternal Coffin] is obviously related to a certain power in [Sea of ??Nirvana]. Not long. In the transparent coffin wall, Vivian''s transparent figure gradually appeared. Seeing this, Xia En''s face suddenly showed joy. Sure enough, just as Shi An said, [Eternal Coffin] can warm up Vivian''s damaged soul. As long as she has enough time, she can restore her original state. And at this time. Vivian''s eyes seemed to be open and her lips moved, as if she was waking up. Shane reacted suddenly. Vivian, what do you want to say? Thinking of this, Xia En stretched out his hand and touched the coffin wall of the [Eternal Coffin], trying to establish a connection with Vivian''s consciousness. It can be touched at the moment of [Eternal Coffin]. A cold and violent energy suddenly surged out of the coffin and spread along his arms to his whole body. Xia En''s body shook slightly, and the scene in front of him was instantly twisted, as if he had been pulled into a strange space. When you open your eyes again. Xia En was in a strange sea. The sea water under my feet was as dark as ink, and there was no trace of light in the sky. It seems like a pure, suffocating darkness. There is no trace of life. The air was filled with the breath of decay and death, as if countless pairs of eyes were still staring at him in the dark. Xia En felt an instinctive discomfort just standing here. That is the creature''s disgust of death and decay! "here it is" Shane looked around and suddenly a ridiculous idea came up. Is this decaying and decaying world... the destroyed [Seven Seas World]? Because Xia En happened to be on the [Sea of ??Nirvana] and was in contact with the [Coffin of Eternity], he was able to enter this world briefly? Just then. A familiar voice rang in Shane''s ears. "Captain Shane..." Xia En looked in the sound and saw Vivian''s figure floating from the darkness. Her figure was illusory and transparent, as if it would disappear at any time. Vivian looked around with complicated eyes and murmured softly. "This was my home..." (End of this chapter) Chapter 425 【The intersection of two worlds】【Faced w Chapter 425 [The intersection of two worlds] [Facing the dark tide] "Vivian?" Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked. Vivian''s words undoubtedly proved his guess. The scene he saw before him was the destroyed [Seven Seas World] on another world line. However, compared to this, he was more worried about Vivian''s condition at this time. Xia En immediately asked, "Vivian, how are you now?" "I''m fine." Vivian''s voice was filled with a hint of weakness and fatigue. However, it is much better than the previous situation of sleepiness. She sighed, "To be honest, I thought I could never wake up again." "It''s great to see Captain Shane again." "However, my current state is not very stable, and I should not be able to wake up for too long." "There is still a long way to go from [Eternal Coffin] and move freely like before." "Otherwise, I wouldn''t talk to you in this way." Shane nodded, So thats it. "Anyway, it''s good that your situation improves." "But you said, this is... your former home?" "Yes." Vivian said softly with a very complicated expression on her beautiful face. "I think the reason why I woke up temporarily was probably because I was stimulated by this familiar [power of nirvana]." "Captain Shane, now you should know the relationship between me and Leila, and the source of [The Power of Nirvana]." "But you may not know..." "The place where [Eternal Coffin] and I arrived in this world was the current [Sea of ??Nirvana]!" "Um?" Upon hearing this, Xia En''s eyes opened slightly. This information was indeed something he didn''t know before. Xia En pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because..." "There is somewhere in the [Seven Seas World] and the [Seven Seas World] you are in, there is a certain channel somewhere in the [Sea of ??Nirvana]?" "It can be understood that way, too." Vivian explained, If I want to say it, it may not be a channel. Buta intersection point. "If two similar but different [Seven Seas World] are compared to two line segments." "They should have been two parallel lines that would not meet at all." No intersection will occur at all. No one even knows the existence of another world. "It is even more impossible for me to come to this world with the [Eternal Coffin]." "However, under the influence of some powerful and transcendent force, the two worlds ''intersect'' and thus interfere and influence each other." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. "The God of Blind and Ignorance!?" "That''s right." Vivian nodded. "Rewriting physical rules, rewinding time, distorting cause and effect... these things are fantasy for ordinary humans." "For the truly powerful gods in the Secret Sea, it''s just a trivial matter like eating and drinking water." "It is precisely because of the transaction between Laila and the [Blind God of Ignorance] that the two [Seven Seas Worlds] have a ''intersection point''." "And the location of the ''intersection point'' is the current [Sea of ??Nirvana]!" These words made Xia En have a deeper understanding of [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [Black Tide]. At the same time. A few lines of prompts flashed on the panel. [The Mystery of the Sea of ??Nirvana" resolution density +48%! [Comprehensive quality: 6768! "really" Xia En said in a deep voice: "So, the [Black Tide] of [Sea of ??Nirvana] originated from the destruction of [Seven Seas World]." "No wonder [Black Tide] has similar characteristics to [Mortal Secret Power]." Shane asked again, "Vivian, which apostle of [] who once destroyed your world?" Recalling that tragic memory, Vivian''s expression was inevitably a little sad. But she still said seriously: "His name seems to be..." Corrupt Apostle "His secret power, with its strong corrupt properties, can quickly transform living creatures from fresh to decay." "And, in my opinion, [corruption] is just a manifestation of His power." "[Corrupt Apostle] True authority is actually an alternative law of time and space." Vivian''s voice was low and solemn, as if he was recalling the unbearable past. "His [corruption] not only decays life, but also accelerates time in a certain area, or distorts and collapses space." "Under His influence, our world quickly declined, as if it had been drained from its vitality and eventually headed for destruction." Xia En frowned and was shocked. Although he had seen the terrible power of the [Apostle of Sin]. But the authority that [Corrupt Apostle] was enough to destroy the entire world still shocked him. "In other words, the essence of [Dark Tide] is actually the power of [Corrupt Apostle] eroding our world?" Xia En asked in a deep voice. "That''s right." Vivian nodded and continued. "The spread of [the black tide] is a manifestation of the gradual expansion of the ''intersection'' of the two worlds." "As the power of the [Corrupt Apostle] penetrates into this world, the environment of the [Sea of ??Nirvana] will become worse and worse." "End...it may allow the [Corrupt Apostle] to enter this [Seven Seas World] and repeat the mistakes of our world." Xia En''s heart was shocked. If this is true, then the threat of [Black Tide] is far more serious than expected by the federal top leaders. It not only brings pollution and weird creatures, but also may lead to the collapse of the entire world! Vivi settled down and said again. "However, it will be a long process." "After all, with the transformation of [World Will], [Seven Seas World] will instinctively resist and dispel the power of [Corrupted Apostle]." Shane nodded. But even so, the existence of [Corrupted Apostle] is always a hidden danger. Xia En couldn''t let it go. Perhaps, when he has sufficient strength, he will go to the destroyed [Seven Seas World] in person to completely eliminate this hidden danger. But now, this goal is still a bit far away. And at this moment. Vivian suddenly remembered something and reminded him. "By the way, Captain Shane." "Because you have killed the [Apostle of Sin], whether it is [Apostle of Sin] or other [Apostle of Sin], you will have an especially strong hostility towards you." "And as an extension of the power of [Corrupt Apostle], [Dark Tide] will also show you an extremely dangerous side." Xia En said in a deep voice: "I understand." "I''ll be careful." "However, if you can''t even deal with the [Black Tide], how can you be an enemy of the [Corrupt Apostle]?" Vivian was about to say something, but suddenly felt the scene around him start to twist. "It seems that I don''t have much time." Her voice gradually became ethereal. "Captain Shane, please be careful." "The [Dark Tide] is full of unknown dangers." "If you encounter situations that you can''t cope, don''t force yourself." "I will." Xia En nodded solemnly. "You must also have a good rest and recover as soon as possible." Ill look for ways to help you get back to it. Vivian''s figure gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a faint light, returning to the [Coffin of Eternity]. The scene before Xia En also recovered. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! After opening his eyes again, he returned to the cabin of the [Black Swan]. "Sir Captain, are you okay?" Joey''s voice came from behind. Shane turned around and saw Joey looking at him with a worried look on his face. "I''m fine." Xia En shook his head and asked. "Where have we been?" "It has entered the core area of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana]." Joey replied. "What''s wrong?" Shane frowned and walked quickly to the deck. The nearby scene became even more weird. There are some broken wreckage of ships floating on the sea, and occasionally some dead bones wrapped in black matter can be seen, as if silently telling the horror of this sea area. The string song, which was originally leading the way in the sky, also landed on the deck. She reminded: "Captain Shane, a black sea appeared in front of her." "The sea water has completely turned black, as if it was contaminated by something!" Shane walked to the side of the boat and looked down at the sea. Sure enough, the sea water in front had completely turned into thick black, like an endless abyss. What''s even more disturbing is. Something seemed to be squirming in the black sea, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeking at them in the dark. Reduce and keep your distance. Xia En calmly gave the order. At this moment, the sea suddenly churned violently, and the black sea water was like boiling, causing waves dozens of meters high. Immediately afterwards, a huge black tentacle suddenly stretched out from under the sea and headed straight for [Black Swan]! "Enemy attack! All members are on guard!" Joey shouted. Xia En''s eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a wave of his right hand, a black sword energy instantly slashed out, directly cutting off the tentacle. Black liquid splashed out and fell on the deck, making a "sizzling" sound of corrosion. "Did the malicious intention of [Kuki Tide] begin to appear?" Shane murmured to himself. However, the battle has just begun. With the emergence of the first tentacle, more and more dark creatures surged out from under the sea. Their appearance is twisted and weird, some look like giant sea snakes, and some look like monsters covered with tentacles, each exuding a disgusting smell of decay. Obviously, these guys are the strange creatures brought by the rumored [Black Tide]. To be precise, that is not a creature. And it''s like a conglomerate of some kind of secret power. But in other words. As long as such a secret force aggregate is eliminated, the secret force of the entire piece of [Black Tide] will weaken, thereby temporarily reducing the pollution caused by [Black Tide]. Thinking of this, Xia En ordered the crew: "Take all your strength to eliminate those monsters!" Everyone replied, "Yes, Captain Shane!" The first response was not someone else, but the [Black Swan] under Xia En. In the previous expedition to the extreme north, [Black Swan] was separated from Xia En and failed to show its true abilities. Now that he can finally fight side by side with Captain Shane, he naturally wants to perform well. boom! boom! boom! The cannons rang in unison, and the shells roared towards the twisted creatures. The explosion of fire bloomed on the sea, instantly shattering several monsters. Steam Knight Carles also came to the deck. She opened her own steam field directly and purified one dirty monster after another. at the same time. Joey stood by the boat, his hands spread out, and a faint blue light flashed in his beautiful eyes. "Oh the sea, listen to my command." As her words fell, the surrounding sea suddenly surged violently, as if there was life. A force that originates from the depths of the sea is fighting against the filthy and corruption secret forces in the [Black Tide]. This leads to it. The sea, which was not calm, became increasingly rough. At this time, Joey''s hands suddenly waved, and the sea water instantly condensed into several huge columns of water, stabbing at the approaching monsters like spears. The water column penetrated the monster''s body, nailing them firmly to the sea, unable to move. After breaking through the sixth level. Joey''s control over the sea and storm authority has gone to a higher level, and he has a faint trend towards Augustine''s original development. "Good job, Joey!" Xia En nodded in approval, then waved his sword again, killing the monsters trapped by the water pillar one by one. Xiange is not to be outdone in this battle. The blood of the bronze dragon in her body gushed, and a bronze flame lit up in her eyes, and the crown above her head became more majestic. roar! ! Xiange let out a roar, his body was wrapped in a layer of bronze light, and his wings spread out, as if covering the sky and the sun. She took a deep breath and then suddenly exhaled a hot dragon breath. The bronze flame poured down like a waterfall, instantly burning a large area of ??monsters on the sea to ashes. Moreover, Xian Ge also accurately controlled the range of dragon breath to ensure that the flames did not affect the [Black Swan]. Her dragon breath not only destroyed a large number of monsters, but also burned the black matter on the sea surface, revealing the originally clear sea water. Xia En almost didn''t take any serious action, and most of the monsters in the [Black Tide] around him were wiped out. If before the journey to the extreme north. Xia En and others will probably fall into an extremely difficult battle when they encounter this [Black Tide]. But now, Xia En''s strength is no longer the same as before. Even if we dont talk about Shane who is promoted to the legend, the strength changes of Joey, Xiange, Carlress and others are amazingly great. It is no exaggeration to say that it is better than an ordinary legendary powerhouse. This is the only way to easily face the extremely dangerous [Black Tide] for ordinary ships. To a certain extent, Xia En''s idea of ??"the crew is more expensive than the crew" has been realized most of it. at the same time. [Black Tide] seemed to realize the strength of the group of people on the [Black Swan] and began to gradually fade into the depths of the sea. Just as Ji Ya said before, this [Black Tide] is alive! Therefore, He will also have the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm like a living creature. Soon, the sea water in front of him returned to its original appearance. But soon, Xian Ge seemed to notice something and looked at the sea water deep below. (End of this chapter) Chapter 426 [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] [The sea of ? Chapter 426 [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] [The sea of ??clouds gallops! "Stern Song, what''s wrong?" Noting Xian Ge''s strange expression, Xia En immediately asked. "What did you find?" Xiange did not hide it, and replied directly. "Just now, when I was stimulating the power of my bloodline, I once again felt the call of [[Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "And, this call is clearer and stronger than before." "only" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "It''s just something?" Xian Ge''s expression was a little weird: "The direction of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] I sensed is located below... [Sea of ??Nirvana]!" Upon hearing this, Shane suddenly woke up. Different [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] are definitely different. Its just because the several [secret realms] that appear at present are all on the surface of the seven seas. This makes people subconsciously believe that the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] will also appear on the [Sea of ??Nirvana] in the form of an island similar to that of an island. But now. This reminds you from Xian Ge. Xia En realized that the entrance to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] was probably located under the sea surface of the [Sea of ??Nirvana]. The conventional method makes it difficult to find the location of the entrance. Perhaps, this is also the reason why people in the Seven Seas, although they realized that the ancient dragon appeared, they could not find the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. As for the roar of the ancient dragon echoing in the sky. It was probably just the echoes conveyed from the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] after the two [Secret Realm] approached. Constrain the ups and downs in your heart. Xia En quickly made a decision and said. "Xiange, you prepare for it, let''s go to the sea to explore the road." Although [Black Swan] also has the ability of Xia En [Deep Sea Body] and can sail under the sea. However, the current [Sea of ??Nirvana] is infected by the [Black Tide] after all. If you fall into the siege of [Black Tide] on the seabed, the level of danger will undoubtedly increase greatly. As for Xia En''s own reason why he is not worried about [Kuri Tide] is very simple. He has [Projection Body]! After a moment. Xia En''s [Projection Body] appeared under the hull of the [Black Swan] before String Song. This [Projected Body] has also changed a lot compared to the past. The whole body became deeper and darker, emitting a strange and ominous aura. It''s like some kind of indescribable existence. If others were asked to encounter this [Projected Body] in the sea, they would be scared to have a cardiopulmonary arrest, thinking they had encountered a monster in the deep sea. After Xia En broke through the legend, his [Projection Body] can also call the so-called [Law of Void]. This makes the temperament of this body even more mysterious, as if it is impossible to peek into the abyss. Even, Xia En had a feeling. [Projection Body]''s mastery of [The Law of Void] may be stronger than his original body! Feeling his current state, Xia En felt a little moved. [Deep Sea Scuba] This talent was originally his core ability to make a fortune. He was able to earn his first pot of gold at sea alone, pay off Duke Nova''s debt, and later shine in [City of Coral] [Secret Land of Blood Moon]. Dear, it''s all [Deep Sea Scuba]. But at present, as Xia En''s strength continues to improve. Even if you dive into the deep sea in person, there will not be too big problems. This talent is used greatly reduced the number of times. At this time, it feels quite wonderful to experience [Deep Sea Scuba] again. Hurry up! Soon, Xian Ge also jumped and dived into the sea. In order to avoid the peeping of [Kuri Tide] due to his body shape, Shige maintained the petite loli form. And when we came to Xia En. Xiange couldn''t help but tremble and muttered to himself: "Why does Mr. Captain''s state feel more and more terrifying?" The deep black body seemed to be able to swallow all the light, and even the surrounding sea water seemed to be dyed with a dark tone. "What''s wrong?" Xia En noticed the strangeness of Xian Ge and asked with his mental power. "No... nothing." Xian Ge shook his head and tried hard to suppress the discomfort in his heart. "I just think the Captain looks a bit scary." Upon hearing this, Xia En chuckled: "Is it scary?" "Maybe, but this state is more beneficial in the deep sea." Xian Ge nodded and said nothing. She knew Xia En was right, that most of the creatures in [Black Tide] were weird and dangerous. This terrible state will make them feel fearful and afraid. "Are you ready?" Xia En asked. "Um." Xian Ge took a deep breath, and the blood force in his body slowly surged, and a faint dragon scale pattern appeared on the surface of his body. A golden light flashed in her eyes, as if a dragon shadow was swimming in it. This is she resonating with the call of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. "Then let''s go." After Xia En finished speaking, his body moved and dived towards the deep sea. Xian Ge followed closely behind, and the two dived quickly. As the depth increases, the surrounding light gradually disappears, and the feeling of depression in the sea water becomes stronger and stronger. However, for Shane''s chords, the darkness around it does not constitute a barrier. Xia En''s [Lightless Touch] is like a fish in water in the deep sea, while Xian Ge can clearly detect everything around him with the perception ability of the dragon clan bloodline. Perhaps it was because they had just repelled a [Black Tide]. At this time, the [corrosion power] belonging to the [Black Tide] in the sea water was not that strong and strong. It also allows Xian Ge to more easily understand the location of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Xiange closed his eyes, focused his energy, and felt the call from the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Her dragon clan blood surging in her body, as if there was an invisible silk thread, leading her to move in a certain direction. "Here." Xian Ge said softly, then adjusted his direction and swam towards the deeper sea. Xia En followed closely behind, and the two quickly passed through the deep sea. As they continued to dive, the surrounding sea water gradually became cold and the water pressure gradually increased. However, this environment did not have much impact on Xia En and the others. I don''t know how long it has passed. "Mr. Captain, I feel... the call of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is getting stronger and stronger." The sound of the string song was transmitted to Xia En''s mind through mental power, with a hint of excitement and tension. Shane nodded. Although he could not directly sense the existence of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] like Xian Ge. But his body also possesses part of the ancient dragon bloodline. So, Xia En could feel an ancient and mysterious force permeating the surrounding sea water. This power is somewhat similar to the breath of Xian Ge, but it is deeper and more vast. "Keep going, be careful." Shane reminded, while observing the surroundings with vigilance. He was still looking forward to it, and there were unhappy deep-sea beasts who took the initiative to attack them. After all, his talent as [Deep Sea Devourer] has not been used for a long time. The two continued to dive, the pressure around them became stronger and stronger, and the temperature of the sea water became lower and lower. Just as they were about to approach the bottom of the sea, Xiange suddenly stopped moving. Theres there! The sound of the string song came through the spiritual link, with a hint of excitement. Xia En followed her guidance and saw a huge shadow faintly appearing in the sea water ahead. The shadow was not a dark tide, but a magnificent underwater mountain range, like a sleeping underwater giant beast. There seemed to be a crack in the middle of the mountain range, and a faint light shone through it. "That''s the entrance to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Xia En''s heart moved. Xiange nodded: "I can feel that the call from [Dragon Nest] came from there." Now that you have found the entrance to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En no longer hesitated. His original body on the Black Swan immediately ordered the other crew members. "Prepare to enter deep diving mode, target... [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]!" "Be careful, don''t leave the hull shield." "Yes, Captain!" Joey and others responded in unison. The next moment. A layer of invisible and intangible protective cover appeared outside the hull of the Black Swan and quickly enveloped the entire ship. With the shield fully unfolding. [Black Swan] began to dive slowly, and the hull drew an elegant arc in the sea water, heading towards the direction of the undersea mountains. With the connection between Xia En''s body and [Projection Body], he was able to ensure that the course of the Black Swan was correct. The outline of the mountains is particularly majestic in the deep sea. The rocks are covered with thick seaweed and corals. Occasionally a few glowing deep-sea fish swim by, adding a touch of vitality to this quiet seabed. "Mr. Captain, I feel that the call of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is getting stronger and stronger." The voice of the string song sounded in Xiaen''s mind again, and an excitement flashed in her eyes. Shane nodded. His eyes were fixed on the crack ahead. I saw that the light from the crack became brighter and brighter, as if calling them into entering. Xia En subconsciously opened the vision of [Seeing the Secret Eyes] and immediately saw an extremely chaotic scene. Points and line segments with unique colors entangle, gather and collide together. Xia En could tell at a glance that it was a line that did not belong to the [Seven Seas World]. The lines between different [secret realms] will naturally have different differences. Looking closely, those lines are like countless slender dragons, with vigorous vitality. The different line segments between the two [Secret Realms] meet in that crack and constantly merge together. The turbulence in the space continues to come out of the cracks. At the same time, a strange and ancient aura emanates from the air. Obviously, this means that the crack is the channel between [Seven Seas World] and [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. only Xia En also saw some dark lines mixed in between. "That''s the secret power of... [Kuri Tide]?" "Can it also have an impact on the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Xia En murmured thoughtfully. For some reason, he felt a little ominous premonition in his heart. But at the moment, [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is right in front of you, and Xia En couldn''t retreat at this time. He ordered decisively: "Prepare to enter the crack!" [Black Swan] slowly sailed into the crack, and the protective cover around the hull emitted a faint light in the crack, illuminating the road ahead. And just the moment [Black Swan] completely drove into the crack. A strong sense of weightlessness suddenly came. The space seemed to be twisted at this moment. Immediately afterwards. The scene in everyone''s eyes suddenly changed drastically. When Xia En opened his eyes again, what he saw was a strange and brand new world. Xia En''s vision gradually became clear, and the scene in front of him made him hold his breath. The deep sea that had previously wrapped around the [Black Swan] disappeared. The light became brighter again and everything became clear. And the first one to catch your eye. It is a vast and pure white sea of ??clouds! The sea of ??clouds churned, like an endless white ocean. The waves are turbulent, but silent. The sun shines on the clouds, reflecting a brilliant light, as if the whole world is coated with a layer of golden light. And at this time, the [Black Swan] was sailing on this sea of ??clouds! "This is" Xia En doesn''t remember that [Black Swan] has the ability to fly. That only means that this sea of ??clouds has a special buoyancy that can make the [Black Swan] suspend it. Different [secret realms] may have different rules and characteristics. At this time, the same is true for this [Secret Realm] named [Dragon Nest]. Shane stood on the deck of the Black Swan and looked into the distance. Wherever you look, there is this magnificent sea of ??clouds. He took a deep breath and felt an ancient and mysterious aura filled the air. It is a unique atmosphere belonging to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. "Is this the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Joey walked to Shane, his eyes full of shock. Xia En nodded with a deep gaze. "It seems that we have indeed entered another world." Xiange also walked to the deck, and an excitement flashed in her eyes: "I can feel that this place is full of the breath of ancient dragons." "And, there seems to be a lot of familiar smells!" familiar smell? Xia En was stunned for a moment and soon understood the meaning of the string song. The string songs used to be one of the oldest bronze dragons. Since it is ancient, it means that you must know other ancient dragons. Nowadays, although the string song starts over with [Ancient Dragon''s Egg], it is inevitable that you still remember some of the smell of "old mature dragons". However, Xiange himself has never been to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and knows nothing about the environment here. Now, they can only move towards the depths of the [Dragon''s Nest] as carefully as possible. Shane ordered the crew: "Everyone, stay alert and prepare to explore the [Dragon Nest Secret Land]!" "Yes, Captain!" The crew responded in unison and took action. [Black Swan] sailed slowly in the sea of ??clouds, and the protective shield around the hull flashed with a faint light in the sun. As they deepened, the scene in the sea of ??clouds gradually changed. In the distance, huge peaks rose from the sea of ??clouds. The scenes on each mountain are different. Some peaks are covered with dense forests, while others are like volcanoes poured by lava. Something else is like a crystal-like palace. roar- At this moment, a dragon roar sounded from a distance. (End of this chapter) Chapter 427 【The Secret of Ancient Dragon Migration】 Chapter 427 [The Secret of Ancient Dragon Migration] [The Last Bronze Dragon] roar! ! Everyone couldn''t help but look in the direction where the dragon roar came. I saw a huge ancient dragon passing through the vast sea of ??clouds. Its body is so huge that it almost covers half of the sky, its scales appear dark blue and sparkle with a metallic luster. When the wings spread out, they seemed to cover the sky and the sun. The dragon''s eyes were like two blue-gold suns, emitting a majestic and cold light. This is a blue dragon! At that time, Xia En briefly saw a illusion of the past in the [Simon Islands] [The Land of the Falling of the Ancient Dragon]. It is thus confirmed that the ancient dragon buried in the [Simon Islands] is a blue dragon! At that time, the blood of the ancient dragon bathed by Xia En was naturally the blood of the blue dragon. From a certain perspective. There is also a special relationship between Xia En and Blue Dragon. He stared at the blue dragon soaring in the sea of ??clouds, and vaguely felt that the ancient dragon blood in his body was trembling slightly. It seemed to have some resonance with the dragon in the distance. "Mr. Captain, that''s... Blue Dragon!" Joey whispered, with amazement in his tone. For the Seven Seas, their generation. The ancient dragon clan that once dominated the entire [Seven Seas World] is already a legendary existence. The only Gu Long that Joey and others have ever seen is String Song. However, although String Ge is an extremely rare bronze dragon, he is still underage after all. There is a big gap between body shape and real adult ancient dragons. Besides. Xiange is also considered to be the one who grew up watching a crew member, and there is always a filter like "children". Not that shocking. At this time, witnessing the blue dragon in the sea of ??clouds with one''s own eyes made everyone feel like "this is the ancient dragon". Moreover, with the roar of the blue dragon. One after another, there were ancient dragons with different shapes and races rising from their own huge peaks, shuttled and swam in the vast sea of ??white clouds. Some of them are covered with hot flames, like the flame dragons born in a volcano; Some are crystal clear all over, as if carved from ice crystals, exuding a biting chill; Some of the scales shine with metallic luster, like a moving fortress. Among them, Xia En also saw an extremely strange ancient dragon. Its size is much smaller than other ancient dragons. The wings are as transparent as cicadas'' wings, and they are shining with a glimmer of light, as if they are woven from moonlight. Its scales are as delicate as gemstones, colorful and flow into different lusters as the light changes. Sometimes it is as green as jade, sometimes it is as deep as amethyst. Among the majestic and huge dragons, they look small and ethereal, like an exquisite work of art. Give people a beautiful and unique temperament. "That''s...the elf dragon!" At this time, Jane walked from the cabin to the deck. After this period of cultivation, her complexion has improved much better and her aura has basically returned to her full state. She continued to explain to Xia En and others: "Although the elf dragon has the word ''elf'' in its name, it has nothing to do with the elf." "Just a unique branch of the ancient dragon species." "But I didn''t expect that in my lifetime, I could actually see so many ancient dragons appearing together." The other crew members on the deck were also shocked. Each ancient dragon in the sea of ??clouds exudes a powerful aura, as if they are the incarnation of this world. Their appearance made the entire sea of ??clouds tremble, and the air was filled with an ancient and majestic force. "Is this the true face of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Xia En murmured in a low voice, shocked and alert. Every ancient dragon has legendary strength when it comes to adulthood. And there are countless ancient dragons in the entire [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. From this we can see the strength of the Gu Long clan. It can be said that the overall strength of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is probably the most powerful of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] that Xia En has explored so many [Dragon Nest]. But thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a question in his heart. The dragon clan at its heyday was so powerful that even the elves were hard to match. But it is such a powerful race. Why did you choose to leave your hometown and come to this [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]? If it was the invasion of [], Xia En could still understand it. But the problem is. Just Shane knows about this matter. In the era when the dragon clan migrated and left, [] seemed to have not yet attacked [Seven Seas World]. The great flood that swept the world was also a story that began with the periods of Augustine and King of Fire. At this time. A line of information flashed in front of Xia En''s eyes. [Intouching the Secret: The Secret of Ancient Dragon Migration! [Current decryption: 3%! The emergence of the [Secret] proves that there is indeed a great secret behind this incident. And from the perspective of [decryption], Xia En still has a long way to go to crack this [secret]. As the dragon roars rose one after another in the sea of ??clouds rang out. String songs also seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation. Her body trembled slightly, her eyes ignited a bronze flame, and a flash of excitement and desire flashed through her. She felt that the blood of the bronze dragon in her body was boiling, as if responding to the call of the ancient dragons in the sea of ??clouds. This call is so strong that it is difficult for string songs to maintain human form, but they must return to the posture of the ancient dragon! But even so. Xian Ge still looked at Xia En with an inquiring gaze, as if asking for his opinion. Compared to when it broke out, the string songs now have become too obedient and obedient. Xia En naturally saw the desire for string songs. He also knew that letting the string song fly out may bring certain risks. But generally speaking, with the identity of the Bronze Dragon in the Legend of the Legend, the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is still relatively safe. Moreover, it is better to contact the ancient dragons and learn where the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is going to be compared to their own purposeless wandering around. After a little hesitation, Xia En waved, "Xiange, go!" "Yes, Captain Shane!" Xian Ge nodded excitedly. immediately. Her body began to change. Bronze scales emerged from under her skin, her body gradually swelled, and her wings stretched out from behind. In a few breaths, it turned into a majestic bronze dragon. Her eyes flashed with bronze flames, and the dragon wings spread out, and with a light pat, it soared into the air and rushed into the sea of ??clouds. Immediately afterwards, Xian Ge took a deep breath, and the secret power swelled with his vocal cords, making a shocking roar. roar- She declared in the ancient and mysterious dragon language. "I, the great bronze dragon, String Maya, have come!" The roar of the stringed dragon echoed in the sea of ??clouds, as if it had stirred up thousands of waves. Her bronze body shines brightly in the sunshine of the sea of ??clouds, looking majestic and powerful. Even though her body is slightly smaller than those adult ancient dragons, the blood of the bronze dragon gives her unique momentum and majesty. This made Xian Ge not at all inferior when facing other ancient dragons. It even faintly overwhelmed most of the ancient dragons nearby. Xiange''s arrogant and wanton behavior naturally attracted many ancient dragons in the sea of ??clouds. They turned their heads and looked in the direction of Xian Ge, with scrutiny and curiosity in their eyes, as if they were looking at this strange bronze dragon. Soon, several ancient dragons flew to Xiange and roared, as if they were talking to him. String songs were not afraid at all, and responded in dragon language. After just a few conversations. The eyes of the ancient dragons changed subtly. at the same time. Xia En and others stood on the deck, looking at the interaction between Xian Ge and the ancient dragons from afar. Joey couldn''t help but sigh, "Sir Captain, she... has really grown up." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. From being weak when it broke out of the shell to being able to stand alone and communicate with those powerful ancient dragons on the same level, it has indeed grown a lot. Jane stood aside and said softly. "I remember that the bronze dragon is an extremely rare category among the dragon clan." "Together with Xiange''s former identity, it should help us get the recognition of the Gu Longmen as soon as possible." Shane nodded, "I hope so." The time to speak. The ancient dragons not far away also noticed the [Black Swan] navigating the sea of ??clouds. They stared at the ship curiously and observed the various devices on the ship. After all, there have been thousands of years of foreign ships entering the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] where they are located. The people on the boat couldn''t help but feel a strong sense of oppression. Although [Black Swan] is considered a top ship in the human world, it still looks particularly small in front of these behemoths. After a moment. The petite and beautiful elf dragon before landed on the sea of ??clouds not far from the [Black Swan]. Its eyes were filled with a hint of contempt and hostility, and it let out a low growl. "Humans, why did you come to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" "As for the rules we set, you cannot enter the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] without permission!" "And this time, you are driving such a vehicle into the [Dragon Nest]." "This is an offense to our dragon clan!" Upon hearing this, Xia En was stunned at first, and then quickly understood the meaning of the Elf Dragon. He had heard before that the Seven Seas Federation discovered a passage to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and had long sent people to the [Dragon Nest] to explore. Now it seems that those explorers should have communicated with Gu Long and even formulated some rules. And this elf dragon obviously has no good impression of humans. It may be because of what the past explorers did to offend it. It may also be because the dragon clan naturally has a contemptuous attitude towards other races. Shane hasn''t spoken yet. Not far away, the roar of string songs suddenly came. "Quiet! The ignorant little dragon!" "Who allows you to be rude to my captain?" The dragon roar of the string song exploded in the sea of ??clouds like thunder, with unquestionable majesty. Her bronze dragon wings suddenly unfolded, and her body crossed the sea of ??clouds like a flash of lightning, instantly blocking between the [Black Swan] and the elf dragon. Her eyes were burning with bronze flames. The dragon''s power swept out like a tide, reaching the elf dragon. "you-" The Elf Dragon obviously did not expect Xiange to be so strong. He was forced to take a few steps back by the dragon''s threat, and a hint of astonishment and fear flashed in his eyes. Xiange stared at it coldly, his voice low and full of oppression. "My captain is not the object you can question at will." He is my partner and my family. "If you dare to be rude to him again, I don''t mind letting you see the power of the bronze dragon." The elf dragon was shocked by the momentum of the sing song and did not dare to speak again for a moment. A complex look flashed in its crystal clear eyes. It seemed that I was surprised by Xian Ge''s attitude, and I felt a little unwilling. The ancient dragons around also stopped moving, their eyes wandering back and forth between the string song and the elf dragon. Obviously, they were surprised by the strong performance of string songs. After all, Xian Ge''s body size is much smaller than these adult Gu Long. But her momentum was not weak at all, and she even faintly overwhelmed many ancient dragons present. Moreover, they have not seen the existence of "Bronze Dragon" for a long time. Several ancient dragons carefully recalled the name "Shinge Song Maya" and found it inexplicably familiar. Shane stood on the deck and watched the scene quietly. He felt both relieved and complicated. Xiange is no longer the little dragon who needs his protection. Now she is able to stand alone and even confront other ancient dragons to protect herself. Not to mention, this feeling of "raising a child" is quite good? Sudden. The blue dragon, who had been paid attention to by Xia En and others before, suddenly remembered something and spoke. "String Song Maya..." "I remembered that you are... [The Last Bronze Dragon]!" "But shouldn''t you be buried in the [Seven Seas World]? How could you..." "The Last Bronze Dragon?" When he heard this title, not only Xia En and others, but also the many ancient dragons present showed a little surprised. "Yes, I remembered it too." "You are one of the strongest ancient dragons." The other ancient dragon said, "On the [Dragon''s Nest Peak], your name and deeds are also engraved." As these words were spoken. The ancient dragons remembered the information about "Shinge Ge Maya" one after another, and their eyes at Shige became a little awe and complicated. Xian Ge was also slightly stunned, as if he remembered some memories he had forgotten. "The last...Bronze Dragon..." She remembered those dead tribes, and some scenes before she fell into a long sleep. Finally, Xian Ge couldn''t help but smile bitterly. "So, is there only me, a bronze dragon, left in the world?" At this moment, a low dragon roar came from the sea of ??clouds. The sound seemed to come from a very far place, but it sounded clearly in everyone''s ears, with an ancient and majestic aura. All the ancient dragons, including Xian Ge and the elf dragon, couldn''t help but turn their heads and look in the direction where the sound came. Deep in the sea of ??clouds, there is a terrifying existence that is releasing its own breath. The blue dragon roared in a low voice. "It''s the call of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]!" "Honor of Strings, perhaps, it is calling you!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 428 [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] [Dragons Chapter 428 [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] [Dragons bow their heads] "King of Dragons?" Just hearing this title, Xia En felt a sense of oppression in his heart. It seems that this is not just a name, but also a title that contains extraordinary power! Xia En immediately thought of the [Legendary Title] he saw after his promotion. Obviously, the title of [King of Dragons] has been recognized by [Great Law], thus leaving its mark. Only when you hear it will make people feel awe. It''s not difficult to guess. This [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is the owner of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and the king of all ancient dragons! The status is probably higher than that of Augustine and King of Sinica among humans. And now, such an ancient dragon king is actually calling Xiange to meet it! In addition to the other ancient dragons'' words and attitudes, the title of "Venice". Xia En easily saw that the string song before reincarnation had a very high status among the Gu Long clan. That is to say. When the string song first broke out of the shell, the arrogant and arrogant attitude was actually natural for her. Although Xia En had expected this. But after all, Xian Ge was raised by him since childhood, and he inexplicably felt like "I have raised my daughter for so long and turned out to be a powerful dragon clan." The mood is inevitably a bit complicated. And as the blue dragon''s low roar fell, the atmosphere in the sea of ??clouds suddenly became solemn. All the ancient dragons stopped and looked at the depths of the sea of ??clouds with their eyes, as if they were waiting for something. Xian Ge also felt that powerful aura. Her bronze dragon pupils contracted slightly, and her body became tense involuntarily. She could feel that there was an irresistible majesty in that breath, summoning her to somewhere. King of Dragons Xian Ge murmured in a low voice, a complex look flashing in his eyes. In her incomplete memory, she seems to have a deep connection with the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Xiange, what are you going to do?" At this time, Xia En looked up at Xian Ge, with concern in his tone. Xian Ge was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and looked at Xia En. Her eyes became extremely firm: "Captain Shane, I must go see him." "Perhaps he can fill my missing memories." "And...he must also know the clues of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." Upon hearing this, Xia En said, "Then let''s go." He turned to look at the huge blue dragon. "Please lead the way for us, senior." The blue dragon nodded slightly, his huge head lowered, with a hint of respect in his eyes. It obviously recognized Shane''s identity - as a partner and captain of Xiange, Shane''s status in the Dragon Clan has also improved. "It is my honor to be able to lead the way for the ancient Bronze Venerable." "Come with me." The blue dragon''s low voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds. Then it spread its huge wings, rolled up a strong wind, and flew towards the depths of the sea of ??clouds. Other ancient dragons also followed one after another, forming a spectacular dragon group. [Black Swan] Walk slowly in the sea of ??clouds. Shane stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the front. The scene in the sea of ??clouds gradually changes. Not long after, everyone saw a shocking scene. I saw that in the sea of ??clouds not far away, several huge peaks stood. The peaks towered into the clouds, as if connecting the sky and the earth. The peaks are covered with ancient runes and carvings, emitting a mysterious light. Unlike the scattered peaks before, the mountains in front of them are surrounded by a central area, forming an unimaginable nest! With just one glance, Xia En judged. This is the [Peak of Dragon Nest] mentioned by Gu Long, and it is also the reason why the [Secret Realm of Dragon Nest] is named! Xia En stared at the [Peak of Dragon Nest] in front of him, and was shocked. Those towering peaks seem to be the pillars of heaven and earth, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura. The sea of ??clouds between the peaks is like an endless ocean. And in the center of this dragon''s nest, a tall mountain with silvery white, like diamonds, crystals and silver can be seen. Everything on the mountain is carved from this strange and clear material. Unspeakable mystery and beauty. The surface of the mountain is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light and shadow of the surrounding sea of ??clouds, giving people a dreamy feeling. Xia En stared at the mountain, and couldn''t help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. "Is that the residence of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]?" Joey asked in a low voice, with an unconcealed shock in his tone. The voice of the blue dragon echoed in the sea of ??clouds. "Yes, that peak is called [The Peak of Dragon''s Nest]." "It is not only the habitat of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], but also the core of the entire [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." Under the guidance of the Blue Dragon, [Black Swan] slowly sailed towards [The Peak of Dragon''s Nest]. As the distance narrowed, Xia En and others felt the powerful pressure from the mountain. It is not only a physical sense of oppression, but also a spiritual shock. It''s like... That mountain itself is a living, conscious being! The string song flew in front of the [Black Swan], and the bronze dragon wings drew a graceful arc in the sea of ??clouds. Her eyes were staring at [The Peak of Dragon Nest], with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She could feel that the mountain was hidden in her past memories, and even her mission as a bronze dragon. After the dragon group and [Black Swan] approached. On each of the peaks of [Dragon''s Nest Peak], there are also ancient dragons with great wings and take off, and at the same time, they look at the [Black Swan] and this strange bronze dragon with curious eyes. After all, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] has not made such a call to an ancient dragon for a long time. This undoubtedly means that the other party has very important significance to the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and even the entire Ancient Dragon Clan. And this unique ship also made many Gu Long, who had never seen the world, feel curious. "That''s...the creation of human beings?" "Can they actually build such a ship now?" But some Gu Long also expressed disdain for this. "It just looks sophisticated." "A breath can make it go to ashes." Xia En felt the gazes from the ancient dragons around him, and couldn''t help but feel a little vigilant in his heart. Despite the existence of string songs, these ancient dragons did not show hostility for the time being. But the pride and power of the dragon clan are engraved in the bones. It is probably not easy to get the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Joey asked a little uneasy: "Sir Captain, are we really going to enter the [Summit of the Dragon Nest]?" Xia En nodded, his eyes firm. "Since Xian Ge needs to meet [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], we naturally have to accompany her." "Besides, the clue of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is likely to be there." Joey didn''t say anything else, but looked around more alertly. Not long after. [Black Swan] is getting closer and closer to [The Peak of Dragon Nest]. The silver-white mountain was right in front of you, like a huge crystal palace, reflecting a dazzling light. The breath around him became more and more serious. An ancient and majestic power was filled with the air, as if every inch of space was telling the glory and glory of the ancient dragon. Everyone looked towards the top of the mountain. The scene in front of everyone held their breath. I saw a huge silver throne standing in the middle of the sea of ??clouds. Above the throne, there is an unimaginable giant dragon. Its body is as majestic as a mountain, and its scales are shining with silver-white light, as if woven from moonlight. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! When the wings spread out, they cover the sky and the sun, as if they can cover the entire sky. Its eyes are like two silver suns, emitting a cold and majestic light. This is [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]! Xia En was able to confirm the moment he saw the other person. This king among the ancient dragon, like Augustine and King of Fire, is a strong man who surpasses the ninth level. Even the aura of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is closer to the invisible barrier. "String Song Maya..." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] A low voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds, carrying endless vicissitudes and majesty. "My old friend, we''re meeting again." Xian Ge''s body trembled slightly, and complex emotions flashed through the bronze dragon''s eyes. She stared at the [King of Dragons] on the throne, trying to piece together the pictures of the past from the fragments of memory. But the clips I remembered in the end were still pitifully few. King of Dragons String song responded in a low voice, with a hint of hesitation in his voice. "Are we familiar with us in the past?" [King of Dragons] slowly raised his head, and a gentle light shone in his silver eyes. Its sound is like an ancient echo, low and distant. "We were our closest comrades-in-arms and fought together for the freedom of the dragon clan." "Fight for the freedom of the Dragon Clan?" String Ge repeated this sentence, and a little doubt emerged in his heart. Why do they fight for freedom? Or, who is the enemy who deprives them of their freedom? Seeing the confusion revealed by the string song, a faint sadness flashed in [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s eyes. "It seems that you have forgotten more than I thought." "But it doesn''t matter, as long as you''re still alive, that''s enough." "I can tell you all the past." As he said that, the eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] swept over the Black Swan behind Xian Ge, and actually passed by Xia En, and fell on Joey first. The authority of [Goddess of Storm] [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s tone was obviously low, and his eyes were deep, as if he was recalling some past events. Xia En immediately realized the abnormality of the situation, took a step forward, blocked Joey, and said in a deep voice. "Dear [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], we are Xiange''s companions, and there is no malice in coming this time." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Shake the huge dragon head. "Don''t worry, I can see that she should be the container that carries [Goddess of the Storm]." "Of course I won''t transfer my hatred against [Goddess of Storm] to this junior." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly jumped. Hatred with [Goddess of Storm]? Obviously, this may not be the prejudice of a dragon against the [Goddess of Storm], but the fact that the entire ancient dragon clan has some kind of deep hatred with Him! Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly remembered the illusion he saw at [The Land of the Falling of the Ancient Dragon]. The blue dragon in the illusion seemed to be charging at an existence in the sky. Could it be that the existence in the clouds at that time was the legendary [Storm Goddess]? That''s when. A line of information flashed suddenly. [The secret of the ancient dragon migration" decryption +12%! This information undoubtedly proves that Xia En vaguely guessed the truth of the matter. Without waiting for Xia En to continue thinking deeply. [King of Dragons] slowly moved away from Joey and fell on Xia En. Its eyes were filled with scrutiny, as if it wanted to see through Xia En''s soul. "Human, I''ve heard of your name." "You should be the savior of the [Seven Seas World], the holder of the [Far North Light] Medal of the Federation, the captain of the [Black Swan], Shane?" Hearing this, Xia En was slightly stunned. Even Xia En didn''t expect that his name had spread to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. There was a gentle smile in the voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Do you think that our ancient dragons are all self-proclaimed old antiques and never come into contact with [Seven Seas World]?" "Wrong, every time the federal exploration team arrives, I will ask them about [Seven Seas World]." "Just a few days ago, I heard about your deeds from them." Not only that [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] said. "I also sensed the breath from you after erasing the [Defiled Apostle]." "It seems that you did stop the invasion of [] as the rumor says." Speaking of this, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] actually lowered his proud head slightly and said at the same time. "Seven Seas World is the home of our ancient dragon clan." "I want to thank you for saving the [Seven Seas World]." As soon as this is said. Not to mention Xia En, even the ancient dragons in the nearby sea of ??clouds and dragon nests could not help but be shocked by it. That is their king! Its strength and power are enough to suppress all the ancient dragons in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But at this time, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] actually lowered his head to such a tiny human? In their opinion, this kind of thing is truly incredible. But at the same time, many ancient dragons also heard the content of the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Saving the savior of the [Seven Seas World]?" "It''s actually such an inconspicuous human being?" Even the ancient dragons still have certain prejudice and contempt towards humans. But even their kings were willing to lower their heads for Xia En. The attitudes of the Gu Longmen naturally changed slightly. Soon, an extremely spectacular scene happened. I saw that with the actions of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], all the ancient dragons present bowed their heads slightly to Xia En. It seems to be expressing one''s respect. If outsiders were allowed to see this scene, they would be so shocked that they could not speak. Xia En''s heart was also very turbulent. He didn''t expect that this king among the ancient dragon would express such sincere gratitude to him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 429 【Divine War in Ancient Times】【Where to t Chapter 429 [Divine War in Ancient Times] [Where is the Gods] certainly. Xia En was not complacent because of the many ancient dragons'' bowing their heads. He knew clearly that most ancient dragons bowed their heads not because of themselves, but because of respect for the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. This is why this shocking scene appears. If Xia En really feels that he can walk sideways in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] like this, he is definitely trying to die. But even so. The people on [Black Swan] were still shocked by the scene of the countless ancient dragons bowing their heads, and secretly felt a little proud and proud. Only their captain can receive such courtesy in the Dragon Nest Secret Realm. Soon, Xia En took a deep breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart, and then responded solemnly. "Dear [King of Dragons], I just did what I should have done." "After all, I can''t watch [] invade our world." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Nodded slightly, and a hint of praise appeared in his silver eyes. Its sound is like an ancient echo, low and distant. "It seems that the rumors in the mouths of those humans are indeed true." "You are indeed a humble hero." "Maybe it is because of this that you can get the recognition of Xian Ge and become her partner." "But one thing is a little puzzled." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] paused and continued, "Why did you come to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" "I think you shouldn''t just come back to your nest for the song." "Yes." Xia En admitted frankly: "We are here to visit the Dragon Nest Secret Realm, on the one hand, to explore the past and lost memories of the string song." "On the other hand, it is for a legendary artifact-" "Fate Weaving Shuttle!" Xia En''s voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds, clearly reaching the ears of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and the surrounding ancient dragons. "Fate Weaving Shuttle?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s silver eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his tone. "Why did you know the existence of this artifact?" String songs on the side spoke, "In my only remaining memory, I vaguely remember that it should be in Gu Long''s hands now." "That''s why I came to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] with Captain Xiaen." "I see." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] was silent for a moment, then said slowly. "It seems that the matter about [Fate Weaving Shuttle] has left a deep impression on you." "After all, back then, the one who used [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to open the door to cross the [Secret Realm] for us was Xiange." "What?!" Upon hearing this, Xia En was shocked. He did not expect that there was such an unknown origin between string songs and [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. But on the other hand. Xia En suddenly thought that [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is the magic weapon of [Fate Goddess], which has the power to shuttle to another secret realm. Why did such a magical artifact come to the string singer? Could it be that there is also some kind of hostile relationship between the ancient dragon and the [Goddess of Destiny]? Combined with the previously learned Gu Long''s hostility towards [Goddess of Storm], Xia En vaguely guessed something in his heart. His thoughts were turning rapidly, and various possibilities emerged in his mind. The hatred between the ancient dragon clan and the [Storm Goddess]. String Song once used [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to open the door to cross the [Secret Realm]. And the identity of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] as the [Fate Goddess] artifact... These clues all seem to point to an amazing truth There are profound contradictions and even hostile relationships between the Ancient Dragon clan and some gods! Perhaps, this is the reason why the ancient dragon left the [Seven Seas World] and migrated to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]! As the venerable among the ancient dragons, Xian Ge has obviously participated in these major historical events. Xia En''s eyes couldn''t help but turn to the string song, and his mood was quite complicated. The bronze dragon he raised since childhood actually carries such a heavy past. Xian Ge seemed to feel Xia En''s gaze, and turned his head, a trace of confusion and determination flashed through the bronze dragon''s eyes. "I have... used [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Suddenly, Xian Ge''s body shook slightly. "Captain Shane, I... seem to remember something." The voice of the string song was low and trembling. "Divine War..." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Divine War?" "That''s right, it''s a **** war!" Xian Ge said firmly: "The ancient dragon in ancient times once had a great war with the gods!" As soon as this statement was spoken, the ancient dragons around them made low roars, as if responding to the words of the string song. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] also flashed with praise in his eyes. "Yes, my old friend, you finally remembered it." "At that time, our Gu Long clan had to fight against the gods who tried to control us for freedom." "And you and your tribesmen started a big battle with [Goddess of Destiny] and successfully won [Fate Weaving Shuttle], opening the door to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] for us." "But at the cost, the Bronze Dragon tribe was almost wiped out, and even you exhausted all your strength and could only fall into a long sleep." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart was filled with storm. He never thought that in the ancient times of [Seven Seas World], there was such a "divine war between ancient dragons and gods." And this also explains Xia En''s previous doubts. That''s why, the ancient dragon was forced to leave the Seven Seas World and migrate to the Dragon Nest Secret Realm. at the same time. A lift flashed on the panel. [The secret of ancient dragon migration" decryption +56%! [Comprehensive quality: 6870! However, at this time, what made Xia En even more curious than his weak improvement in strength. Why did the gods launch such a war against the ancient dragon? And, after careful consideration. Xia En realized a problem that he had previously subconsciously ignored Now, where are the gods in the [Seven Seas World]? Although Xia En had some contact with the statues of the Goddess of Storm and the Elf Goddess. But it seems that there is never really communicating with their consciousness. Besides, if their consciousness still exists with the [Seven Seas World]. When [Seven Seas World] was invaded by [Sizuma] and [Sinful Apostle], why did none of these gods appear? Just as Xia En was thinking about these issues. A faint light flashed in Xiange''s dragon''s eyes, as if he was trying to piece together those broken pieces of memory. Her voice was low and hoarse, with an indescribable heaviness. "So...I''ve been involved in such a war." "Those people of my tribe died in that godly battle..." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Nodded slowly, sadness and respect appeared in the silver eyes. "Yes, Xiange, you are the hero of our clan." "It is because of your sacrifice that we can escape the shackles of the gods and come to this pure land that belongs to us." "However, the price of that war was too heavy, and the Bronze Dragon clan was almost destroyed." "And you...lost almost all your power and memory." Xia En was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and asked solemnly. "So, where is [Fate Weaving Shuttle] now?" "Is it still in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] said slowly. "The weaving of fate is indeed in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "It''s just that it is sealed by us in the depths of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "Seal? Why?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En was a little puzzled. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] explained: "[Fate Weaving Shuttle] is the magic weapon of the Goddess of Destiny, and there is naturally some difficult-to-cut connection with the Goddess of Destiny." "If it is not sealed, the goddess of fate is very likely to find the location of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] through this connection." "At that time, a second battle between the ancient dragon and the gods may be triggered." Hearing these words, Xia En''s heart moved. Yes, even he and Jane can see the existence of the so-called "Line of Destiny". As the legendary goddess of fate, her mastery of [Line of Fate] will only be more profound. It is indeed not impossible for her to find the location of the Dragon Nest Secret Realm with the help of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help asking. "Where are the goddess of fate and other gods on the seven seas now?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] After a moment of silence, a deep light flashed in the silver eyes, as if recalling the long past. Its voice is low, with an indescribable heaviness. "Where is the gods going...this is a question that we can''t answer completely." "The gods'' war in ancient times was not only a war between our ancient dragons and gods, but also a battle between gods." "The Goddess of Destiny, Goddess of Storm, Goddess of Elf... These gods who once dominated the [Seven Seas World] fell or disappeared in that war." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] paused and continued. "The end of the Gods'' War is that the power of the gods is weakened, and their power gradually fades from the [Seven Seas World]." "Some gods chose to sleep, some disappeared in the long river of time, and some... left the [Seven Seas World] and entered the [Secret Sea]!" "The Goddess of Storm and the Goddess of Destiny belong to the last category." "They left part of their power in the [Seven Seas World], but their essence has entered the [The Secret Sea] to seek the path to upward promotion." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel shocked. Enter the [Secret Sea]? That''s right! Since [] can invade [Seven Seas World]. The gods of the [Seven Seas World] can naturally leave the [Seven Seas World] and explore the unknown [Secret Sea]. after all. For any existence, becoming stronger and advancing to a higher level is an instinctive desire. This is especially true for the gods who are already at the top of the [Seven Seas World]. This is somewhat like the "Ascending to the upper realm" in the novel of cultivating immortals. However, it can be seen from the gods of gods such as the Storm Goddess on the Seven Seas that can still perform their effects. Although some gods entered the [Secret Sea], they still left some divine power in the [Seven Seas World]. Xia En asked again. "So, is the invasion of [] and [] related to the disappearance of the gods?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] shook his head slightly: "We cannot be sure of this." "But the departure of the gods did indeed cause the Seven Seas World to lose some balance." "Perhaps it is precisely because of the absence of the gods that those evil forces from the outside have an opportunity to take advantage of them." Xia En pondered for a moment. Although unbuttoning the seal of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] may attract the attention of [Fate Goddess]. However, in order to find the clues left by Laila in the [Elf Secret Realm] and to truly solve the hidden danger of [Evil Mind]. Xia En must get [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. His eyes were firm and he had made a decision in his heart. Xia En raised his head and looked at [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], with a solemn and sincere tone. "Dear [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], I understand that unbuttoning the seal of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] may bring risks." But for the future of the Seven Seas, I have to try to get it. "The invasion of [] will not be terminated by a failure." If we dont act, the whole world will fall into endless darkness and chaos. "And [Fate Weaving Shuttle] may be the key to our turn around our destiny." Xian Ge looked at [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] with the same sincerity. "Perhaps we can impose another seal that temporarily blocks the connection between the outside world." "Wait until you leave the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], untie it." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] After a moment of silence, complex light flashed in the silver eyes. It slowly spoke, "Captain Shane, if you come alone." "I probably won''t give you [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." "But since Xian Ge has spoken, I will naturally not refuse her request." "After all, [Fate Weaving Shuttle] was originally the magic weapon she got, and the other ancient dragons were just keeping it for her." Now, its time to hand it back to Strings. Xian Ge''s body shook slightly. She said in a serious tone: I will use it well. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded: "Then, come with me." It was about to take Xia En and others to the place where the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] was sealed. But at this moment. boom- A muffled sound came from the sea of ??clouds in the distance. Immediately afterwards, a dark crack seemed to be torn open in the distant sky. There was a constant stream of viscous and dark liquid flowing out of the cracks. In just a blink of an eye, a sea of ??clouds was dyed black. The filthy and decayed aura quickly expands outward with cracks as the core. Seeing this scene, Shane''s pupils suddenly shrank. "Is this...Kuri Tide!?" Xia En''s heart sank suddenly, his eyes staring at the gradually spreading black crack in the distance. That familiar and disgusting aura is the power of [Black Tide]! But the problem is. [Black Tide] Why did it suddenly appear in [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]? "Wait...''intersection point''! It''s the ''intersection point''!" Shane suddenly thought of what Vivian had said before. The intersection of the destroyed [Seven Seas World] and the current [Seven Seas World] is located in the [Sea of ??Nirvana]. And just so happens that the entrance to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is also located in that area of ??sea. The intersection of these three may have fallen together by chance! (End of this chapter) Chapter 430 【Corrupt Apostle】 Chapter 430 [Corrupt Apostle] It''s obvious. When the intersection of two different [Seven Seas World] and [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is located at the same time, unpredictable changes will naturally occur. The current situation. It was like opening a passage between the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and the devastating [Seven Seas World]. The [Defiled Secret Power] in the destroyed [Seven Seas World] poured into the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] together under the influence of [Black Tide]. Moreover, Xia En clearly felt it. The [Black Tide] that invaded the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] at this time is far more turbulent and weird and more dangerous than the [Black Tide] on the Sea of ??Nirvana. The reason behind this is actually not difficult to understand. [Seven Seas World] No matter how weak it is, it is a larger and complete world. Moreover, as Shane killed the [Apostle of Sin], he survived the terrible disaster of world destruction. The world will of [Seven Seas World] has also ushered in a sublimation and transformation. It will naturally instinctively resist the secret power from another world, thereby weakening the lethality of [Black Tide]. But the Dragon Nest is a secret realm with a not-too-large area. Its world will is obviously weaker than the [Seven Seas World], and the effect of resistance is extremely limited. This will allow [Kuri Tide] to come to them in a more dangerous manner. However, [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] also has its own advantages. That''s... Every ancient dragon here has extremely powerful strength! Among them, there are many ancient dragons in the legendary realm. And when they are united, the power of the entire race can only be described as unfathomable. Therefore, when seeing the [Black Tide] polluting the sea of ??clouds in the distance, the first reaction of the ancient dragons was not panic, but anger! roar- The angry dragon roar echoed in the sea of ??clouds, making the air tremble. The ancient dragons spread their huge dragon wings one after another, and a rage burned in their dragon''s pupils. They cannot tolerate their homes being eroded by this filthy force. at the same time. A hint of coldness flashed in the silver eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], and its low voice sounded like thunder. "A filthy thing dares to step into the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]!" "All the ancient dragons, follow my orders" "Purify this filth!" With the orders of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], countless ancient dragons soared into the sky. They spewed violent dragon breath out from their mouths. Like a hot flame, it instantly ignited the dark sea of ??clouds. The powerful power contained in the dragon''s breath directly evaporated the viscous [black tide]. Shane stood on the deck of the [Black Swan], staring at the battle in the distance with a serious look. Although the Gu Long and others were strong, he was still a little uneasy. He could feel that in the depths of this [Black Tide], there was an extremely powerful aura hidden. "Captain, what should we do?" Jane walked to Shane and asked in a low voice. Xia En pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered: "All members of [Black Swan], prepare for battle!" "We can''t sit idly." "Yes, Captain!" The crew responded in unison and quickly entered a state of combat. String song spread out the bronze dragon wings, flew to Xia En, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Xia En, I want to join the battle together." Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "Okay, let''s go together." Just then. A strange whisper suddenly came from the [Black Tide] in the distance. The sound seemed to come from the abyss, with endless malice and distortion. It is also like a curse from hell, carrying the hatred that has already decayed. Immediately afterwards, countless twisted figures slowly appeared in [Black Tide]. They have different shapes, some of them look like rotten giant beasts, and some of them look like twisted humanoid creatures, emitting a disgusting and filthy aura all over. It was the weird monster that Xia En and others encountered in the [Black Tide] before. They are both aggregates of filthy secret power. It is also a polluted creature that has destroyed the [Seven Seas World]. Xia En''s eyes were tightly locked in the twisted monsters that emerged from the [Black Tide], and his heart couldn''t help but sink. The aura of these monsters is more dangerous than what they encountered before in [Sea of ??Nirvana]. Obviously, the power of [Black Tide] has been enhanced to some extent in [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But Shane has experienced countless storms and waves after all. He did not panic, but issued the order directly and calmly. "fire!" With Xia En''s order, several secret heavy cannons on the [Black Swan] sounded together. The shells made of secret power hit the dark wave like a meteor. After the purple main gun was accumulating energy, it shot out a terrifying column of light, instantly clearing a large area of ??filthy monsters. However, compared with the offensives of the ancient dragons, a round of artillery bombardment by [Black Swan] is nothing. Countless ancient dragons spit out their dragon breath and ignited the filthy monsters. at the same time. There were also many ancient dragons who launched a charge against [Black Tide]! With its strong body and fearless courage, these ancient dragons plunged into the malicious [Black Tide]. Their sharp dragon claws swung and their tails swept. Wherever they went, the twisted monsters were easily torn apart and turned into a pool of black mucus that emitted foul smell. In the fierce battle, different kinds of ancient dragons also used their own methods. A red flame dragon opened its huge mouth, and the hot dragon breath poured out like a volcano erupting, burning the monsters in the [Black Tide] to ashes. The ancient ice crystal dragon with a crystal-like surface waved its huge dragon wings, and the cold air overflowed, instantly frozen the [Black Tide] into an ice field. The twisted monsters were frozen in the extreme cold, and then shattered into countless ice slags under the ancient dragon''s sharp claws. The blue dragon, who had previously led the way for Xia En and others, spit out mysterious dragon words, as if he was performing a unique dragon language magic. The next moment. Thick lightning bolts fell from the sky, slashing into the [Black Tide], and turning the dirty monsters into coke. The power of lightning not only destroyed the monster, but also briefly dispelled the foul aura in the [Black Tide]. The dragon roar shook the sky and the earth, and the entire sea of ??clouds was trembling. But even so. The monsters in [Black Tide] were not easily repelled. Their numbers seemed endless, pouring out continuously from the cracks. With a suffocating malice, he rushed towards the ancient dragons. Some monsters even began to merge together, forming a larger and distorted existence. Shane stood on the deck of the [Black Swan], frowned. He knew it clearly. With the powerful strength of the ancient dragons alone, although they can temporarily suppress the [Black Tide], if the source of the [Black Tide] cannot be cut off, this battle will never end. After all, behind [Black Tide] is the entire destruction of [Seven Seas World]. Even if the Gu Long clan is strong, it is difficult to compete with the power of the entire world. Thinking of this, Xia En said to the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] beside him. "Your Excellency, we must find the source of [Black Tide] and cut off the channel from [Black Tide] to enter [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] in order to completely end this disaster." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded slightly: "Captain Xiaen, you are right." "But my body has long been integrated with [Dragon Nest Peak] and cannot leave this nest too far." "I will let other ancient dragons open the way for you." "Also, leave this to you." As he said that, a piece of silver scales on [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] peeled off on his own and fell into Xia En''s hands. "This scale carries my power, and may help you at critical moments." Just finished speaking. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] raised its huge dragon head and let out a shocking dragon roar. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! As the dragon roar sounded, all the ancient dragons present raised their heads to respond. Immediately, the ancient dragons took action quickly. Instead of dispersing their attacks, they gathered into a huge team and rushed towards the deepest part of the [Black Tide]. Dragon Breath, Frost, Thunder, Flame... All kinds of powerful secret forces gathered into an unstoppable torrent in the roar of the ancient dragons, and teared a channel in the [Black Tide]. It forms a magnificent and terrifying picture. Xia En tightly held the silver scales in his hand and felt the powerful power contained in it. He ordered, Lets follow! [Black Swan] Under the cover of the ancient dragons, they slowly drove into the open passage. The [Black Tide] around was still rolling, and dirty monsters kept gushing out of the darkness, trying to stop them from moving forward. However, the ancient dragons'' offensives were like storms, knocking back the monsters one by one. The secret power heavy artillery on the [Black Swan] also kept firing, sweeping out a clean area. With the deepening of [Black Swan] and the Gu Longmen. The concentration of [Kuri Tide] is also getting higher and higher. The air around was filled with a suffocating feeling of depression, as if even breathing became difficult. The originally pitch-black sea of ??clouds was gradually replaced by a dark red light. Those dirty monsters also became even bigger and ferocious, as if they were demons crawling out of the depths of hell. Finally, after breaking through several layers of black tide barriers, Xia En and Gu Long arrived at the core area of ??the black tide. The scene in front of everyone gasped. In the center of the Black Tide, a huge black heart floats. The heart kept beating, and every time it beat, it released a large amount of filthy secret power, forming a new dark tide and monster. The surface of the heart is covered with twisted runes, emitting suffocating malice. "That''s the source of the dark tide?" On the deck, Joey murmured in shock. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed. Because he is not unfamiliar with the filthy existence of this heart. At that time, the [Giant Wood God] of [City of Giant Wood] appeared in front of him with such a heart posture. However, it is normal for him to have certain similarities with the [Giant Wood God] as well as the lackeys under the [Zi Siming]. Xia En calmly gave the order. "Let''s take action together and destroy that heart!" With his orders, the Gu Long and the crew members of the [Black Swan] launched the strongest attack at the same time. Dragon Breath, Thunder, Frost, Storm, Secret Cannonballs, all Secret Power poured towards the black heart. However, just at the moment when the attack was about to kill the heart. A dark barrier suddenly appeared, blocking all attacks. "What?!" Xia En''s pupils shrank, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. Immediately afterwards, a low laugh came from the black heart. "Silly ants, do you think this will stop me?" With the laughter, a crack was cracked on the surface of the black heart, and a huge eye slowly opened. That eye was filled with endless malice and madness, as if it could devour everything. It has a texture that is extremely similar to the [Apostle of Sin]. But its aura is more inclined to decay and decay. If Shane is not wrong, the master of this laughter is the legendary [Corrupt Apostle]! However, judging from the breath of the black heart in front of you. The one who came to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] was not the essence of the [Corrupt Apostle], but his clone! Even if it is just a clone, the aura it emits is enough to make people feel suffocated. The power of decay and decay seems to erode all vitality, and even the surrounding air becomes viscous and heavy. That''s when. The eye slowly moved to the [Black Swan] where Xia En was. "Oh? This breath...is interesting." The laughter of the [Corrupt Apostle] came from the eyes. "You are the human who killed [the great sin], right?" "I didn''t expect there would be such unexpected gains this time." "Although I don''t like that guy, since it''s my Lord''s order, I can only ask you to die." Xia En''s heart was terrified and felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Although the [Corrupt Apostle] in front of him is just a clone, its power is still far beyond ordinary enemies. Those malicious eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and hit the depths of the soul. The next moment. The eye in the black heart suddenly opened wide, and a pitch-black ray shot out from the pupils, heading straight for the [Black Swan]. Xia En''s heart suddenly jumped, and a void color flashed in his eyes. immediately. The entire hull of the Black Swan suddenly disappeared from its original position. When it appeared again, it appeared dozens of meters away, avoiding this dark ray. However, the dark ray did not dissipate. Instead, he twisted and turned in the air like a living creature, and attacked again towards the [Black Swan]. Wherever the ray passes, the air seems to be corroded, leaving a dark mark, exuding a disgusting and decaying atmosphere. Obviously, this ray even has some kind of tracking ability. Seeing this, Xia En took a deep breath. The [Void Secret Power] in the body is constantly condensed. Finally, after reaching a critical point, it poured out with a bang. A tiny black hole that was constantly rotating appeared in front of the [Black Swan] and intercepted the pitch-black ray. The next moment. The two sides collided violently. But this collision was so weird that there was no sound at all. Just constantly swallowing and eroding each other, as if even the sounds around them were swallowed up. After a few breaths. The dark rays disappeared into the air, but Xia''s expression became even more solemn. (End of this chapter) Chapter 431 Fierce battle in [Black Tide]! Chapter 431: The fierce battle in [Black Tide]! It was just one fight. Xia En realized the difficulty and difficulty of this enemy. Even though the dark ray was swallowed by the [Void Secret Power], the decaying aura still left indelible traces in the void. It seemed as if even the void itself had been eroded. "It is worthy of being the [Corrupt Apostle]. Just a clone has such a terrible power..." Xia En was secretly alert in her heart, and at the same time quickly thought about countermeasures. With his own strength, it is probably difficult to completely defeat the clone of the [Corrupt Apostle]. Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes fell on the silver scales in his hand. The key to breaking the deadlock is perhaps the scale given by [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. And at the same time. The ancient dragons in the air have also begun to attack [Corrupt Apostle]. The ancient dragons'' offensives were like storms. The hot dragon breath, the frost breath, the roar of lightning... and various powerful dragon-word magic poured towards the black heart. In this chaotic [Black Tide], a terrible stream of secret power was rolled up. However, the clone of the [Corrupt Apostle] is obviously not so easy to deal with. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered, and dark barriers continued to emerge, blocking the attacks of the ancient dragons one by one. Even if some attacks broke through the barrier and fell on the black heart, they only stirred up waves of black fog. It did not cause any substantial harm. "Silly crawlers, your attacks are meaningless to me." The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] came from the black heart, with endless ridicule and contempt. "Your struggle will only make me more happy." "And, dragon?" "I have it too!" As the words of [Corrupt Apostle] fell. The black heart suddenly swelled, and a more powerful decayed force burst out from it. The surrounding [Black Tide] seemed to have been summoned by some kind of summoning, gathering wildly towards the black heart, forming a huge black vortex. In the vortex, countless twisted monsters surged out from it. Their shape is more hideous than before, and their aura is even more terrifying. Not only that. From [Black Tide], there are also existences with head-on outlines that are very similar to those of the ancient dragon. only. Their whole body was infected by a sticky black tide, and in their dark eyes, there was only the hatred of the living. The filthy, **** and rotten aura lingers around these dragon-shaped existences, exactly the same as other monsters in the dark tide. Xia En''s pupils contracted slightly, and a chill rose in his heart. These dragon-shaped monsters are obviously ancient dragons corrupted by [Black Tide]! Although their bodies are still huge, they have long lost their original majesty and sacredness, and replaced by endless decay and distortion. Under the pitch-black scales, rotten flesh and blood were vaguely visible. The dragon''s wings were covered with holes, and only the empty darkness was left in the dragon''s eyes. These once proud ancient dragons have now become puppets of the [Corrupt Apostle] and become the minions of the [Black Tide]. Obviously. These corrupt ancient dragons are not people of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], but are existences in another seven-sea world. The [Seven Seas World] where Vivian is located was completely occupied by the [Corrupt Apostle], and the ancient dragon among them was naturally not spared. This is why he was summoned by the [Corrupt Apostle] at this moment and invaded this undefiled [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. "roar-" The corrupt ancient dragons roared lowly, their voices filled with pain and madness. They spread their huge dragon wings and pounced towards the ancient dragons, spewing out their black dragon breath, carrying the power of decay and destruction. The Gu Longs obviously did not expect this situation and fell into a brief chaos for a moment. "Those guys...who are they?" An ancient dragon looked at the existences that were extremely similar to him in surprise, and a trace of shock and anger flashed through the dragon''s eyes. They could not believe that the ancient dragon, who was once the same tribe as them, would become such a twisted and terrifying existence. They have been corrupted! "Don''t hesitate to purify them!" The voice of the blue dragon sounded like thunder. The ancient dragons were silent for a moment, then raised their heads and let out a shocking dragon roar. There is no hesitation in their eyes, but instead they are firmness and determination. The battle broke out again, but this time, the Gu Long''s offensive became even more fierce. They no longer hold back, but instead attacked their former compatriots with all their might. The fiery dragon breath intertwined with the frost breath. Thunder and storms rage in the sea of ??clouds. The entire sea of ??clouds turned into a battlefield, and the fluctuations of secret power made the space tremble. However, the strength of the corrupt ancient dragons should not be underestimated. Although they have lost their minds, they still retain the powerful body and strength of the ancient dragon. The dark dragon breath collided with the attacks of the ancient dragons, and a terrible energy fluctuation broke out. Shane stood on the deck of the [Black Swan], staring at the battle in front of him with a serious look. He knew that with the power of the ancient dragons alone, it would be difficult to defeat these corrupt ancient dragons in a short period of time. The clone of the [Corrupt Apostle] is still eyeing the black heart and may launch a more powerful attack at any time. "Can''t drag it down any longer..." Xia En murmured to himself, then clenched the silver scales in his hand. "Xiao Hei, go forward at full speed!" "Stern Song, Jane, Joey, you cover me!" "Yes, Captain!" The soul of the ship of [Black Swan] and the crew responded in unison. The next moment. "Woo" The whistle of the [Black Swan] suddenly sounded like a loud roar. The steam turbine on the ship instantly turned on the maximum power. The speed of the entire ship soared again, like a black lightning, cutting through the dark sea of ??clouds and heading straight for the black heart. The mysterious heavy artillery on the ship kept firing. The purple main gun even accumulated energy to its limit, shooting out terrifying columns of light, clearing out all the corrupt monsters and dark tides along the way. String song spreads the bronze dragon wings and flies over the [Black Swan]. She vomited dragon breath from her mouth, burning the corrupt monster she was trying to get close to to ashes. Jane and Joey stood on the deck, each using powerful secret techniques to open up a path to the black heart for [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, be careful!" The sound of the string song suddenly rang. Xia En looked up and saw a huge corrupt ancient dragon pounced towards the [Black Swan]. Its dragon wings spread out, covering the sky and the dark dragon breath poured down like a waterfall. Xia En''s eyes narrowed, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded instantly. The field of [Big Dark Sky] expanded immediately. It was like a barrier, spreading over the [Black Swan], blocking all the dark dragon''s breath. "Captain Shane, I''ll help you!" Joey''s voice came from behind, her hands folded and her mouth chanted an ancient spell. The next moment. A brilliant light burst out from her hands, turning into a huge pillar of light, heading straight for the corrupt ancient dragon. The beam of light collided with the dragon''s breath, bursting out a dazzling light. The corrupt ancient dragon let out a painful roar, its huge body was knocked back by the light column, and the dragon''s breath was temporarily interrupted. And Xian Ge naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and his eyes were filled with bronze flames and burned violently. The dragon''s breath poured down like heavenly fire, instantly wrapping the corrupt ancient dragon''s body. In the hot flames, the corrupt ancient dragon let out a shrill roar. The dark scales quickly peeled off in the high temperature, revealing the rotten flesh and blood. Its dragon wings turned into ashes in the flames, and its huge body gradually collapsed like a ignited dead tree. Eventually disappears completely. "Beautiful job!" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! A hint of joy appeared on Joey''s face. However, Xia En''s mood did not relax. He looked up at the black heart. I saw that the eyes of the [Corrupt Apostles] were staring at them, with sarcasm and jokes. "Is it just a little dragon that I''m just complacent?" "You are still far from defeating me!" As the words of [Corrupt Apostle] fell. The black heart beats suddenly, and a stronger rotten force bursts out from it. The [Black Tide] around was surging wildly, and more and more corrupt ancient dragons emerged from it. It''s like a big net, surrounding the [Black Swan]. at the same time. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered, and dark chains stretched out from the heart and came straight for Xiaen. A hint of coldness flashed in Xia En''s eyes and he responded quickly. The [Void Secret Power] in his body surged again, and the space around his body began to distort, forming an invisible barrier. The dark chains hit the barrier, making a harsh friction sound, but they were unable to break through this layer of defense. However, after blocking these chains. More chains poured out from the black heart again, as if endless. at the same time. The corrupt ancient dragons around them also approached the [Black Swan]. Seeing the dark dragon breath was about to pour down like a heavy rain. Xia En said in his heart: "Xiao Hei, give me your body." Xiao Hei did not hesitate at all and decisively said, "Yes!" Immediately, Xia En''s consciousness seemed to merge with the [Black Swan]. At the same time, his [Void Secret Power] was able to spread to every corner of [Black Swan]. Just as countless black chains are about to block all movement paths of the Black Swan. A dark light lit up on the body of [Black Swan]. Then, the next moment. The figure of [Black Swan] disappeared out of thin air. It appeared hundreds of meters away like a shuttle flashing. In this state of "man and ship integration", the ability of [Void Shuttle] also acts on [Black Swan]! The sudden disappearance of [Black Swan] made the attack of [Corrupt Apostle] empty. The dark chains intertwined in the air, but only grabbed the air of nothingness. The dragon breaths of corrupt ancient dragons also fell into nothing, and the hot black flames burned in the sea of ??clouds, but failed to hurt the [Black Swan] in the slightest. "Do you think you can escape this way?" The voice of [Corrupt Apostle] sounded again, and the black heart suddenly contracted, and then a stronger decay power burst out. [Black Tide] is like a boiling ocean, surging wildly, forming countless vortexes. As long as you come into contact with it, it will be like falling into the turbulent flow of time and space, instantly becoming aging and decayed. The corrupt ancient dragons seemed to have received some kind of instructions, and they turned their direction and rushed towards the [Black Swan] again. But at this time, the [Black Swan] was like a black flash in a sea of ??clouds. Disappeared again and again, appear again and again. Every time it appears, it is one step closer to the dark heart. Xia En''s consciousness merged with the [Black Swan], as if it had become the soul of the ship. His perception extends infinitely, and every inch of the structure of the hull and every secret force pattern are clearly reflected in his mind. With the help of [Void Secret Power], he controlled the [Black Swan] to shuttle through the sea of ??clouds. Like a giant whale swimming in the deep sea, flexible and swift. Every time [Void Shuttle], [Black Swan] avoids the blockade of [Corrupt Apostle] and gradually approaches the black heart. However, as the distance shortened, Xia En felt more and more pressure. The decayed power emitted from the black heart almost condensed into substance, as if it was about to swallow everything around it. That is a law related to time and space. Once hit by a head, the consequences will be unimaginable. It''s at this moment. The black heart suddenly shook, and a terrifying decay force burst out. The surging [Black Tide] is like an angry giant beast, forming countless dark tentacles, sweeping towards [Black Swan]. "Xiao Hei, prepare for the last shuttle!" Xia En shouted softly, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded instantly. The hull of [Black Swan] once again lit up a dark black light. The void twisted, and the hull disappeared from its original place in an instant. However, this shuttle was not smooth! The black heart seemed to predict their actions, and the decaying secret power turned into an invisible barrier, blocking the surrounding void. "Bang-" The hull of [Black Swan] suddenly shook, as if it hit an invisible wall. The secret force pattern on the surface of the hull was flickering, and the shuttle through the void was forcibly interrupted. But Xia En was not panicked and shouted loudly. "Carles!" "I am here!" Carlress instantly turned into an armor form, integrating with Shane. Immediately afterwards. Xia En jumped hard, and under the dual push of [Void Secret Power] and the steam core, it burst out with an astonishing high speed, rushing directly towards the black heart in [Black Tide]. "Did you actually come to me and seek death?" "Then, I will fulfill you." The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] came from the black heart, with endless ridicule. The next moment, the eyeball suddenly widened, and a pitch-black ray shot out from his pupils again, shooting towards Xia En in mid-air. That''s when. Xia En tightened the silver scales in his hand. "King of Ten Thousand Dragons, please respond to my call!" In an instant, the silver scales suddenly burst out with dazzling light. A vast dragon power surged out of the scales, as if it had crossed the boundaries of time and space and descended on this battlefield. "roar-" A roar of shocking dragon resounded through the sky, and the silver scales turned into a dazzling beam of light, rushing straight towards the [Corrupted Apostle]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 432 【Defeat the Corrupted Cluster】【Fate Weav Chapter 432 [Defeat the Corrupted Cluster] [Fate Weaving Shuttle] In the light column, a huge dragon shadow slowly emerged. It was a silver-white dragon, its scales shining like stars, and the dragon''s pupils contained endless majesty and power. It is [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]! The moment it appeared, the whole film [Black Tide] seemed to fall into a brief silence. Even the surging [Defiled Secret Power] seemed to be the majesty of this [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. The many ancient dragons present lowered their heads and let out respectful roars, as if paying tribute to their king. A cold light flashed in the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. Its eyes fell on its black heart, and its voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. "[Corrupt Apostle], your arrogance and decay will end here." Before he finished speaking, the dragon wings of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] suddenly unfolded. The silver-white light swept out like a tide, colliding fiercely with the decayed power in [Black Tide]. Two completely opposite forces intertwined in the sea of ??clouds, bursting out terrible energy fluctuations. The next moment. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Opened his huge mouth, and a brilliant dragon breath gushed out. Wherever the dragon''s breath passed, the [Black Tide] melted like ice and snow, and the corrupt ancient dragons let out shrill roars, and their bodies turned into ashes in the dragon''s breath. but. [Corrupt Apostle] is an apostle under [The Mind], and a terrible existence from the Secret Sea. Facing the offensive of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. Instead of retreating, he let out a low and cold laugh. "Are you the master of this [Secret Realm]?" "Although they are only a slightly larger crawler, they are just crawlers." As his laughter came out. The black heart beat violently, and the runes on the surface flashed a deeper light, fighting against the pressure of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. Immediately afterwards. [Black Tide] It is like being injected with new vitality, surging wildly. Countless huge black waves formed, sweeping towards the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. In the huge waves, countless twisted monsters roared and rushed out. Their shape is more hideous than before, and their aura is even more terrifying. at the same time. Those corrupt ancient dragons that were defeated by the dragon breath of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] actually condensed their bodies again under the nourishment of the [Black Tide] and stood up again. Their dragon''s eyes were burning with dark flames, as if they were filled with endless hatred for [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. These ancient dragons were already dead, and naturally they could reconstruct their bodies as secret power was indoctrinated. A hint of coldness flashed through the dragon''s pupils of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], and its dragon wings suddenly shook, and the silver-white light swept out like a sharp sword. Directly slashing towards the [Black Tide] in front of you. In an instant. Two completely different but equally powerful secret forces collided together. In the air. Xia En''s eyes narrowed slightly. He could see that the time and space at the intersection of the two secret forces seemed to be in a state of slow stagnation. The silver secret power of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] seems to be under the erosion of time, quickly turning from freshness to decay and decay. The power is greatly reduced. Obviously, that is exactly the [laws of corruption] mastered by [Corruption Apostle]. This makes the silver secret power of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] unable to break through the [Black Tide] in front of you, causing damage to the body of [Corrupt Apostle]. The two sides are temporarily in a stalemate. But the bad news is. The original body of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is located at [Peak of Dragon Nest]. At this time, it is just a projection of its dragon scales. The secret power on it will always be exhausted. If we cannot defeat the [Corrupt Apostle] during this period, Xia En and others will fall into a complete desperate situation. "Can''t drag it down any longer..." Xia En murmured in his heart, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. The vision of [Seeing the Secret Eye] is opened in an instant! Countless chaotic points and lines penetrated his eyes. The most eye-catching one is the heart where the [Corrupted Apostle] is located. Xia En''s [Seeing Secret Eyes] penetrated the layers of black tides and looked straight into the core of the black heart. In his vision, the complex runes on the surface of the heart are no longer simple patterns, but rather a network of laws woven by countless fine lines of secret force. Each line represents the source of power of the [Corrupt Apostle]. And the intersection of these lines is exactly where its weakness lies. After Xia En was promoted to the legend, his mastery of [Peeing Secret Eyes] has also reached a higher level. I think this is because... Xia En has personally mastered the [Law of Void] and learned what kind of thing the "Law" is. This is how we can see through the laws and weaknesses of other legendary powerhouses more quickly. Just a few breaths. Xia En''s eyes were fixed on one of the weakest "points" of the black heart. "Finished!" Xia En murmured in a low voice, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes. He quickly calculated the path and timing of the attack in his mind. Although the power of [Corrupt Apostle] is powerful, its defense is not impeccable. Especially in the process of confronting [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], its attention was almost entirely focused on the front battlefield and had no time to take into account sneak attacks from the flanks. And this is the opportunity to win! Shane said, "Carles, turn on the maximum power!" "yes!" Carlress, who was merging with him, did not hesitate at all and directly increased the power of the steam core to the maximum. Xia En''s figure in mid-air rushed forward again. His figure was like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the dark sea of ??clouds and heading straight for the black heart. Xia En''s speed was extremely fast and approached the body of the [Corrupt Apostle] almost instantly. However, just as he was about to approach his black heart. [Corrupt Apostle]''s attention finally shifted from [King of Dragons] to Xia En. "Ant, do you think you can get close to me?" The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] is cold and sarcastic. The black heart suddenly shook, and countless black chains stretched out from the heart, lingering towards Xia En like a poisonous snake. Xia En''s eyes narrowed, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded instantly. The realm of [Big Dark Sky] expanded again, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the dark chains from the body. However, the power of [Corruption Apostle] is far beyond Shane''s imagination. Although the chains were blocked, their impact force made Xia En''s body sluggish and his speed suddenly slowed down. at the same time. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered, and a more powerful decayed force burst out from it, turning into a pitch-black ray, shooting towards Xia En. Xia En''s pupils contracted slightly. "It''s now!" As if he noticed Xia En''s intention, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] suddenly opened his mouth. A brilliant silver-white dragon breath bombarded the front of the black heart without reservation. "You guy..." [Corrupt Apostle] He whispered a resentful whisper and had to concentrate his secret power again. Runes on the surface of the black heart flicker wildly to fight the breath of [King of Dragons]. And at this moment, Xia En seized the opportunity. The [Void Secret Power] in his body surged wildly, and the space around his body began to twist. [Void Shuttle] Launch again! Xia''s figure flashed in the air. When he appeared again, he had already arrived before the "node" he saw in [Secret Eye]. Immediately, he stretched out his right hand. [The void collapses! The highly condensed secret power of void is like a miniature black hole that directly detonates on the "node". At this moment, the space twisted and collapsed, forming a vortex that could be seen by the naked eye. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered wildly, trying to resist this terrible force. However, the most vulnerable part of the entire heart is the hardest. The power of the [Law of Void] is quickly eroding the [Law of Corruption] in it. Those complex runes quickly collapsed and dissipated under the impact of the power of void. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! The surface of the black heart began to appear, and the decayed breath leaked out. "Your eyes..." For the first time, a trace of fear appeared in the voice of [Corrupted Apostle]. at the same time. The black heart beats violently, trying to repair cracks on the surface. However, the power of [Void Collapse] has penetrated deep into the heart, and the decayed power quickly disintegrated under the erosion of the Void Power. "it''s over." Xia En whispered, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. The [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded again, and the power of [Void Collapse] was further enhanced. The cracks in the black heart expanded rapidly and eventually shattered completely in a loud bang. "boom-!" The black heart exploded and turned into countless dark pieces. As the black heart disintegrated, the power of [Black Tide] began to fade away quickly. The corrupt ancient dragons let out shrill roars, and their bodies turned into ashes in the silver-white light and could never be reborn again. But even so. The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] still contains contempt and ridicule. "This time, you won." "But next time, I will corrupt this [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] together." "The power of []... will eventually come!" Soon, the voice of the [Corrupted Apostle] gradually dissipated into the air, as if it had never existed. However, that heart-pounding decay still remains in the sea of ??clouds. It seems to be reminding everyone that this victory is not the end, but just the beginning. The power of [Black Tide] quickly faded, and the dark sea of ??clouds gradually returned to its original silvery white. Those corrupted ancient dragons and dirty monsters also turned into ashes under the dragon breath of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and completely dissipated. The entire [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] has returned to peace. It seemed as if the fierce battle just now was just a nightmare. However, Xia En''s mood did not relax because of this. He returned to the deck of the [Black Swan] and looked into the distance with a serious look. He knew that the words of [Corrupt Apostle] were not alarmist. With the integration of another [Seven Seas World], the corruption power carried by [Seven Seas World] will only increase. The pollution of [Black Tide] will become more and more severe. When the three [Secret Realms] channels are completely opened. It is even possible to allow the [Corrupt Apostle] to descend in the [Seven Seas World] or the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] as its original body. By then, it will undoubtedly be another terrible disaster. Just then. The phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] came to [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, thank you for your help." "If it weren''t for you, this battle would be much more difficult." "More tribe members will also die in the [Black Tide]." The ancient dragons not far away also roared at Xia En. Their heads were slightly lowered, as if they were expressing gratitude and respect for Xia En. Compared to the previous moves of imitating the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. This time, the ancient dragons were filled with respect from the bottom of their hearts in their actions. Obviously, Xia En convinced these arrogant Gu Long with his actions. However, Xia En''s mood was not much relaxed because of this. "Your Excellency of Dragons, [Corrupt Apostle] will definitely make a comeback again." "Please be more careful later." Then, Xia En expressed his speculation to [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. A trace of solemnity flashed in the dragon''s pupils of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. It nodded slowly, and its voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. "You''re right." "[Corrupt Apostle] and the [Crucifixion] behind him are both a huge hidden danger." "However, after this battle, I can already confirm..." "It is indeed a correct decision to hand over the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to you." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] looked at Xia En with a gentle look and said softly. "Maybe one day, you can use the help of Destiny Weave to go to the destroyed [Seven Seas World] and kill the plot of the [Corrupt Apostle] in advance." "Come to [Dragon Nest Peak], I will take you to where [Destiny Weaving Shuttle] is." Not long. Xia En controlled the [Black Swan] and surrounded by many ancient dragons, he sailed back to the magnificent [Dragon''s Nest Peak]. roar- Seeing their return, countless ancient dragons suddenly flew out of the dragon''s nest. They shook their wings, raised their heads and let out a long roar, as if they were welcoming Xia En and others to return in triumphant return. After this time of fighting side by side. The ancient dragons looked at the [Black Swan] no longer with vigilance and contempt, but with a little more kindness. And on the main peak of [Dragon Nest Peak]. The silver-white [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is entrenched on its throne, waiting quietly. Wait until the [Black Swan] docks in the sea of ??clouds near the [Dragon''s Nest Peak]. Xia Enhe, who turned into a human form, walked down the deck and stepped on the ancient dragon''s mountain for the first time. [Dragon''s Nest Peak] The area near the top of the mountain, the ground is affected by the secret power of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and becomes like a diamond. Crystal and transparent, shining with a dazzling light. Xia En stepped on it and felt a warm energy coming from the soles of her feet, as if the entire mountain was resonating with him. Soon, they arrived at the throne of [King of Dragons]. "Captain Shane, welcome to the core of [Dragon Nest Peak]." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] spoke gently. Then, it gently waved the dragon''s wings. A silver-white light rose from behind its throne and gradually condensed into a huge portal. In the portal, a void space can be vaguely seen, as if leading to another world. "Fate Weaving Shuttle, right behind this portal." (End of this chapter) Chapter 433 [Goddess of Life] [Request of Black Swan Chapter 433 [Goddess of Life] [Request of Black Swan] Looking at the silver-white portal in front of you. Xia En''s mood was expected with a little solemnity. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] As the magic weapon of [Fate Goddess], it naturally contains extremely extraordinary power. Perhaps, when you come into contact with the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], you will be watched by the [Goddess of Destiny]. but. In order to go to the [Elf Secret Realm], find the clues left by Laila. It is also to deal with the threats of [] and [Corrupt Apostle]. He all needs the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and looked at the string song behind him. "Stern Song, let''s go." "Yes, Captain Shane." Then, Xia En chords and the other two stepped into the silver light gate together. The moment Shane stepped into the portal, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The light around suddenly became dim, as if he was in a dark underground space. Gradually. Xia En''s eyes gradually adapted to the dimness around him. He found himself standing in a vast underground space. The surrounding walls are inlaid with countless luminous runes, emitting a faint and mysterious light, as if telling ancient secrets. An ancient and heavy aura filled the air. It''s like... Time has stalled here for countless years. "Is this the place where [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is located?" Shane murmured in a low voice, his eyes scanning around. And at this time. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] A gentle voice sounded in Xia En''s ears. "This is [Dragon Abyss], located below [Dragon Nest Peak]." "Only here can we isolate the perception of [Goddess of Destiny]." Xia En nodded clearly: "So that''s it." Just then. Xiange noticed something on the nearby walls. "Captain Shane, look, on the stone wall!" Xia En looked in the direction of the string singer''s finger. I saw that under the faint light of the mysterious rune, the rock walls of old age appeared on both sides. On the mural, ancient dragons are roaring towards the sky. It seems to be showing hostility to some high-ranking existences in the sky. And in the clouds, many pairs of cold and indifferent eyes are drawn. I think that was the **** who attempted to enslave the ancient dragon clan in the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. The content recorded on these murals is also clear at a glance. That''s... The **** war that took place in ancient times! As expected. As Xia En looked at the next few murals, he saw that the ancient dragons fought with the existences in the sky. The fierce battle is vividly displayed in the murals. The ancient dragons spewed flames, thunder and ice, fighting desperately with the gods in the sky. The corpses of Gu Long kept falling from the sky. Many gods were also injured in this battle, shedding golden and red divine blood, dyeing the entire sky red. Each mural seems to tell the years of blood and fire. The roars of the ancient dragons and the indifference of the gods were intertwined, forming a series of shocking pictures. And soon. Xia En saw a familiar figure in these murals. Xian Ge''s eyes fell in the same place. She murmured, "That''s...me?" Yes, what appeared on the mural was a bronze dragon with wings spread out and majestic and handsome! The bronze dragon is particularly eye-catching in the mural. Its body is huge and elegant, with a bronze luster flashing on its dragon scales, and it seems to cover the sky when its wings spread out. Its dragon eyes exuded an unyielding will, as if it was fighting against the noble gods. Xian Ge''s eyes were staring at the bronze dragon in the mural, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. She whispered, "That''s...who was me?" Xian Ge felt both familiar and unfamiliar with himself before he was reincarnated. After all, she lost some of her past memories. Moreover, in Xiange''s memory today, Xia En is her closest partner and family. When dealing with those former tribe members, Xian Ge''s mood was inevitably a little subtle. Just then. Xia En gently patted Xiange on the shoulder, his tone of gentleness and firmness. "No matter what the past is, you are now." We face the future together, thats enough. Xiange nodded, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to follow Xia En forward. As the two went deeper, the content of the mural gradually changed. Under the leadership of Xiange, the Bronze Dragon clan launched a desperate charge towards a goddess with a veil on her face. Countless bronze dragons fell in that battle. In the end, there was only one Xian Ge left in the entire Bronze Dragon tribe. After such a heroic sacrifice, [Goddess of Destiny] was repelled. Moreover, a mysterious artifact in her hand was obtained by String Ge. The object is depicted in a complex woven shape, emitting a strange light, as if it can manipulate time and destiny. "That''s [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" A hint of expectation flashed in Xia En''s eyes. I saw the string singer on the picture holding the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], as if urging the secret power in it. Then, a portal to another [Secret Realm] opened. The other ancient dragons were able to enter it and come to the current [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But the string song slept under the glacier because it consumed too much power. This is why she appeared on the [West Wind Plateau] and was discovered by the King of Fire. As [King of Dragons] said earlier. String songs have briefly used [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. The history presented on the mural is also consistent with the previous narrative of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. But at this time. A doubt suddenly popped up in Xia En''s heart. Who left these murals? Could it be that Gu Long carved this history on these rock walls? But do the ancient dragons really have such engraving skills? After thinking for a while, I still couldn''t figure it out. Xia En simply asked [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] about his doubts. Hearing this question, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] hesitated for a moment, but he said it soon. "In fact, the one who left these murals for us is the incarnation of the [Goddess of Life]." "Goddess of Life?" Upon hearing this, Xia En was stunned. He vaguely remembered that the **** believed in by the elves was the [Goddess of Life]! [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] explained: "In the [Divine War] that year, not all gods participated in the encirclement and suppression of the ancient dragon." "[Goddess of Life] is one of them." "To some extent, she is the mother of all living beings [Seven Seas World] and has a compassion for all living beings." "She is different from [Goddess of Fate]. She is not hostile to the Gu Long clan, and even to a certain extent, she sympathizes with Gu Long''s experience." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s voice is low and distant, as if she is recalling that distant past. "After the end of the [Divine War], the incarnation of the [Goddess of Life] descended on the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], leaving these murals for us." "She hopes that through these murals, future generations will know the struggle and sacrifice of the Gulong clan, and let the Gulongs remember that history." Xia En pondered for a moment before asking. "[King of Ten Thousand Dragons], since [Goddess of Life] has good intentions to the ancient dragon clan." "So has she helped you fight against [Goddess of Destiny] or other gods?" The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] was filled with regret. "Although [Goddess of Life] sympathizes with us, she did not directly intervene in [God War]." "Her power is more reflected in maintaining the balance of the world and the continuation of life." "She left these murals for us, perhaps the biggest help she can do." Xia En nodded, and his heart was even more impressed by [Goddess of Life]. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! He vaguely felt that he might have some contact with this **** in the future. Perhaps there will be traces left by her in the [secret realm] where the elves are located. "Let''s go, [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is right ahead." The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] interrupted Xia En''s thoughts. Xia En''s chord song followed the guidance of [King of Dragons] and continued to move forward. As they deepened, the light around them gradually became brighter. There was a mysterious force in the air, as if every inch of space was filled with traces of time. Finally, they came to the deepest part of [Longyuan]. There, a huge stone platform stands in the center of the space. Above the stone platform, an object emitting a soft light was suspended. It was a complex weaving shuttle, with silvery white all over the body and an ancient runes on the surface. Thin threads can be seen vaguely around the weaving shuttle. It is like connecting countless time and space. "That''s [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." The voice of [King of Dragons] was filled with a hint of awe. Xia En''s eyes were locked tightly on [Fate Weaving Shuttle], and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart. He could feel that this artifact contained extremely powerful power, as if it could control time and destiny. "Captain Shane, the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is extraordinary." You have to use it with caution. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] reminded. Xia En nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the stone platform. The moment he approached [Fate Weaving Shuttle], the air around him seemed to solidify. He could feel a powerful force gushing out of the weaving shuttle, as if resonating with the [Void Secret Power] in his body. "Is this the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Shane murmured in a low voice. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. Just as his fingers touched the weaving shuttle, Xia En suddenly felt a throbbing for no reason in his heart. It was as if in the dark void, there were a pair of cold eyes watching him! "This is" Xia En frowned slightly. The feeling of being watched comes and goes quickly, but it is like a cloud covering his heart. That [Goddess of Fate] was indeed not dead! Moreover, she has mostly become stronger in the adventure of the [Secret Sea]! However, since you have already obtained the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], Xia En naturally wont regret it. at the same time. Information about [Fate Weaving Shuttle] also appeared before his eyes. Fate Weaving Shuttle Type: Relic Quality: Pseudo-God [Description: One of the magical artifacts of Goddess of Destiny, it has the power to travel through different secret realms. [You can also confirm the direction you want to find your goal through the connection of the line of destiny. [Those who weave fate are also in the big net of fate. After reading these lines of information. Xia En was a little stunned: "Pseudo-god level?" This is the first thing Xia En encountered with quality above the "myth". However, since there is a "false god", there must be a "true god". The reason for this division is that. Probably because... The name of the **** of [Goddess of Destiny] is only for [Seven Seas World]. If she looked at all the [secret realms] in the entire [secret sea], she naturally could not be called a true god. I''m afraid that only existences like [] [] can be called a true god. Xia En stared at the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] in his hand, and his heart was filled with thoughts. This artifact not only contains the power to travel through the secret realm, but also can find the direction of the target through the line of destiny. This means. Not only can he use the help of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to go to [Elf Secret Realm], but he may even find Laila in [The Secret Sea] directly. But it is obvious that the secret power required to activate this artifact is also extremely huge. Just as Xia En was thinking. The ship soul of the [Black Swan] who was in tune with his mind suddenly reacted. Xiao Hei: [Master! [That thing in your hand seems to be...can be used on me! Can you bring it to me? "Um?" Xia En was a little surprised. This is the first time he has heard Xiao Hei take the initiative to make such a request. However, what Xiao Hei means is... [Fate Weaving Shuttle] Can it have some special reaction with it? Xia En''s heart moved and responded immediately. "Xiao Hei, can you feel the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" What does it do for you? Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with a hint of excitement and expectation. [Master, I can feel that this thing seems to resonate with my core. It not only enhances my strength, but also allows me to break through existing limitations and gain stronger abilities! Xia En frowned slightly, thinking in his heart. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] As a pseudo-god-level artifact, its power is naturally extraordinary. If it could really be integrated with the Black Swan, it might be able to take the power of the ship to a whole new level. It''s even possible... Let the Black Swan sail on the Secret Sea! The ships that can travel in the [Secret Sea], just imagine, make people feel ups and downs! But at the same time. Xia En also knew that such a fusion was not without risks. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is a magic weapon of [Fate Goddess] after all. The power and will contained in it may not be fully endorsed by the current [Black Swan]. But after thinking for a moment. Xia En decided to believe Xiao Hei! He has been fighting side by side with [Black Swan] for so long, and both sides have long established an unbreakable bond. He knew that since Xiao Hei dared to say this to him, he must be sure. Then, as the captain, how could I refuse such a request? (End of this chapter) Chapter 434 [Fused Destiny Weaving Shuttle] [The Fut Chapter 434 [Fused Destiny Weaving Shuttle] [The Future of the Dragon Nest Secret Realm! Not long. Xia En made a decision in his heart. He spoke of a consciousness exchange with [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Your Excellency, I have obtained the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], please send us back to the vicinity of the [Black Swan]." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] did not delay, and said directly. "Okay, I''ll reopen the portal for you." The next moment, the previous silver light door appeared in front of the two again. Xia En and the String Song stepped straight into the light gate without thinking. When the two opened their eyes again, they had returned to the [Peak of the Dragon Nest] surrounded by the sea of ??clouds. Joey and other crew members were already waiting for their return on the Black Swan. After saying goodbye to [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] for the time being, Xia En quickly returned to [Black Swan]. Shane stepped onto the deck and felt the familiar hull shaking slightly under his feet. The whole ship was slight rhythm, as if we were welcoming his arrival. "captain!" Joey walked over quickly, his eyes full of concern: "Is everything going well?" Xia En nodded and raised the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] in his hand: "We got it." The crew members focused on the artifact that emitted mysterious light, with awe and curiosity in their eyes. "Is this [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Joey asked in a low voice. "That''s right." Xia En smiled slightly, then turned to the direction of the mast of the [Black Swan]. "Xiao Hei, I''ve brought it back." [Master, thank you! Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with unconcealed excitement. I can feel that I can absorb its power! Xia En took a deep breath and gently placed the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] on the deck. He closed his eyes, felt the flow of the [Void Secret Power] in his body, and then covered his palms on the surface of the weaving shuttle. "Xiao Hei, are you ready?" Anytime, master! Xia En nodded and began to activate the secret power in his body. With his guidance, the runes on the surface of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] gradually lit up. The silver-white light spread like flowing water, slowly seeping into the hull of the Black Swan. The hull began to shake slightly, as if responding to the injection of this force. The crew members on the deck took a few steps back and watched the scene nervously. "Captain, this is..." Joey asked uneasyly. "dont worry." Xia En replied calmly: "Xiao Hei is merging with [Fate Weaving Shuttle], which is its opportunity to break through its own shackles and complete its sublimation." As the light spreads, the hull of the Black Swan begins to undergo indescribable changes. The originally pitch-black hull gradually showed silver-white patterns, as if ancient runes were awakened on the hull. The sails are automatically without wind, emitting a faint glow. Such sublimation is very similar to Xia En''s previous strengthening of [Black Swan], but it is different. Xia En could clearly feel that the aura of [Black Swan] was gradually becoming stronger. Every inch of the wooden board, every cable, and every component of the hull seems to be undergoing some transformation. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred! The light of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] suddenly became dazzling. A powerful force erupted from this artifact, directly impacting Xia En''s consciousness. "Well!" Xia En groaned and his body shook slightly. He felt a cold and indifferent will trying to invade his mind. The feeling of being watched appeared again. "Captain Shane!" Xian Ge immediately stepped forward to support him, his eyes full of worry. "I''m fine..." Xia En calmed down and tried hard to resist the invasion of that will. Obviously, this is exactly the will of the remaining part of the [Goddess of Destiny]. And the invasion of Xia En''s consciousness is only by the way. The real main battlefield is actually located inside the [Black Swan]! Loomingly. Xia En''s vision changed. He seemed to be in a vast starry sky, surrounded by endless void. In front of him, two powerful forces were colliding fiercely. On one side is Xiao Hei''s ship soul, which turns into a huge black swan. The wings spread out, emitting deep darkness. The other side is the will of [Goddess of Destiny]. She turned into a woman in silver veil, with a blurred face but exuding a suffocating pressure. The two spiritual forces are in a silent but fierce confrontation, stirring up countless star-like fragments. After several promotions and battles, Xia En''s soul and mental power have already reached a level far beyond ordinary people. He quickly condensed his mental power into a pitch-black sword and slashed towards the phantom in front of him! With his joining, the black swan''s wings became more solid and the power of darkness became stronger. The will of [Goddess of Destiny] seems to feel the pressure. Her figure swayed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed through her face under the silver gauze. "Mortal, how dare you fight against God?" A cold voice rang in Xia En''s mind. Xia En did not respond, but just used the dark sword condensed with his mental power to slash forward firmly. He knew that every hesitation at this moment might give the will of [Goddess of Destiny] the upper hand. The black swan''s wings suddenly fluttered, and the power of darkness rushed towards the phantom of [Goddess of Destiny] like a tide. at the same time. Xia En''s long sword also cut through the void and pointed directly into her core. The phantom of [Goddess of Destiny] opens his arms. Countless fine silk threads were like a big net blocking the black sword and the black swan. The collision of two forces caused countless ripples in the void. It seemed as if the entire starry sky was trembling. finally. With the combined force of Xia En and Xiao Hei, the will of [Goddess of Destiny] began to collapse. The figure of the silver gaunt woman gradually blurred, and eventually turned into countless light spots to dissipate in the void. "You... cannot escape the shackles of fate..." Her voice gradually disappeared in Shane''s mind. As the will of [Goddess of Destiny] dissipated, the light of [Goddess of Destiny] gradually stabilized. Xia En''s consciousness also returned to the real world. The sea of ??clouds not far away was calm, as if nothing had happened. However, the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] that was previously placed in front of Xia En has disappeared at this time. This means. This artifact has been integrated with [Black Swan]. But at this moment. Xiao Hei''s slightly tired voice rang in Xia En''s mind. [Master, I am a little tired and need a rest. It is obvious that the spiritual confrontation just now brought considerable burden to [Black Swan]. on the other hand. It is not possible to fully absorb and digest the secret power in [Fate Weaving Shuttle] in such a short time. Shane nodded and responded softly. "Good rest, Xiao Hei." "You have done a good job." He felt the hull of [Black Swan] shaking slightly, as if responding to his words. Then, the breath of the entire ship gradually stabilized, as if it was falling into a deep sleep. Joey and the other crew members were still standing on the deck, with a little uneasiness and confusion in their eyes. "Captain, what happened just now?" Joey couldn''t help asking. Xia En took a deep breath and explained slowly: "The will of [Goddess of Destiny] remains in [Destiny Weaving Shuttle]." "Xiao Hei was resisted by that will in the process of fusing it." "But now it''s all over." "Then... Xiao Hei is okay?" Joey asked with concern. It just takes some time to digest that power. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En smiled and comforted, "Don''t worry, it will become stronger when Xiao Hei wakes up." Just like before. In the past, when the [Black Swan] was strengthened, it also took some time to wait. The crew members breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Their feelings for the Black Swan have long surpassed ordinary ships, and they are more like their partners and family. Xiange walked to Shane and whispered, "Captain Shane, what should we do next?" Xia En pondered for a moment, his eyes turned to [The Peak of Dragon Nest] not far away. "We need to wait for Xiao Hei to complete the fusion, and also prepare for the next journey." "Especially now, the integration of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] is probably an irreversible major trend." "It is also very important to handle the relationship between the Gu Long clan and the humans on the Seven Seas well." Xia En''s eyes looked at [The Peak of Dragon Nest] with deep eyes. The sea of ??clouds tumbling, and the peaks appear and appear, like a sleeping giant dragon that may wake up at any time. He knew that the fusion of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] would bring unprecedented changes. The return of the Gu Long clan not only means the reallocation of power. It also means that the pattern of the entire world will be completely rewritten. Moreover, there are a large number of believers who believe in gods on the Seven Seas, and there may be a lot of conflicts between them and Gu Long. If the relationship between the two parties cannot be handled correctly. There will most likely be a chaotic dispute in the seven seas. Fortunately, based on the current contact. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is not a king who is unreasonable. If you communicate well with it, a chapter of peaceful coexistence is not impossible. And it just so happens that Xia En, who is a human and has a good relationship with Gu Long, can become a bridge between the two. Just then. A low dragon roar came from a distance. Xia En looked up and saw the phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] appearing again in the sea of ??clouds, slowly approaching [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, it seems that you have successfully mastered the [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. Xia En nodded and responded respectfully. "Yes, sir." "Although the process was a bit twists and turns, we finally succeeded." A hint of praise flashed in the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]: "Very good, I deserve to be the human being that Xian Ge is interested in." "What are your plans next?" Xia En pondered for a moment, then said. "I plan to stay in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] for a while and wait for the [Black Swan] to complete the fusion." "At the same time, I hope to further discuss with you the future of the Gu Long clan and the Seven Seas humans." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded slowly: "You''re right." "The return of the Gu Long clan really requires reaching a consensus with the humans of the Seven Seas." "I will call on the elders of the clan to discuss this matter with you." Xia En bowed slightly: "Thank you for your understanding and support." The phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] gradually dissipated, leaving only a low voice. "Captain Shane, you are the most special human I have ever seen." "Maybe, you can really change the fate of this world." A few days after that. With Xia En''s matchmaking. The Federation sent several officers to the [Dragon Nest Secret Land] and held many talks with the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and the elders of the Ancient Dragon clan. The two sides reached a preliminary consensus on many matters after the Gu Long clan returned to the Seven Seas. The Gu Long clan promised not to take the initiative to attack humans. The humans of the Seven Seas also need to respect the existence of the ancient dragons and not invade their territory at will. at the same time. During the talks, both sides also unexpectedly mentioned a possibility. That''s... trade! [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] has many rich and strange specialties. Especially some things related to the ancient dragon are all the best forging and casting materials for humans. Humans have various technologies that Gu Long does not have. If before the battle with the [Corrupt Apostle] clone. Many Gu Long may feel that human technologies are not a big deal. However. After witnessing the performance of [Black Swan] in [Black Tide] with your own eyes. Many Gu Long changed their minds. They think that human steam technology and magic pattern technology are indeed somewhat beneficial. In this case. Only when humans and Gu Long were able to establish a subtle cooperative relationship. Of course, at present, such cooperation is still very fragile. There is a possibility of breaking at any time. But at least, this takes an important step in peaceful coexistence between the two races. at the same time. Shane and his crew were not idle either. Xia En used this time to further improve his strength. He constantly tempered the [Void Secret Power] in his body and tried to improve his control over the [Void Law]. Xiange is looking for memories related to his previous life in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], trying to awaken more power. And in this process. The aura of the string song is also increasing, getting closer and closer to the line that breaks through the legend. Time passes day by day. The fusion of [Black Swan] is gradually coming to an end. finally. One morning, Shane felt a slight vibration from the hull. It was like the sound of a young bird breaking through its shell. In the hull of the [Black Swan], there seems to be a brand new vitality and power, which is vigorously rejuvenating. [Master, I''m awake. Xiao Hei''s voice sounded in his mind, with a hint of excitement and expectation. Xia En smiled slightly and replied softly, "Welcome back, Xiao Hei." "How does it feel?" I feel...unprecedentedly powerful! Xiao Hei''s voice was full of confidence. [Master, I have completely integrated the power of "Fate Weaving Shuttle". [Now I can not only be able to travel between different secret realms, but maybe... I can also navigate the "secret sea"! (End of this chapter) Chapter 435 【Ship of the Secret Sea】【Ship through th Chapter 435 [Gathering in the Secret Sea Ship] [Secret Land Shuttle] Xiao Hei''s words just finished. Xia En felt a surging and vivid secret power instilled into his body from the [Black Swan]! The talent of [Captain''s Majesty] takes effect at this moment. With the enhancement of [Black Swan], Xia En, as the captain, also benefited. The previous several reinforcements. Because Xia En''s own strength has far exceeded the speed of transformation of [Black Swan]. Therefore, the secret force that Xia En felt was not obvious. But this time. With the Black Swan, the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] was absorbed. Xia En could clearly sense that the [secret power of void] in his body surged like a tide, and every inch of flesh and blood seemed to be cheering. In the dark, his mastery of the [Law of Void] has improved again. And vaguely. His consciousness seemed to be pulled into a space that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Around them is an endless void, with countless streams of light surrounding it, like countless stars, within reach. Light bubbles of all sizes rise and fall in the invisible and qualitative "sea water". Xia En naturally wont admit his mistake. This is exactly the [Secret Sea]! Obviously, after the integration of [Fate Weaving Shuttle], [Black Swan] has established some indescribable mysterious connection with [The Secret Sea]. You must know. This is something that many secret paths have not been able to do. Now, a ship like the Black Swan has been realized. If it spreads, I dont know how many people will be surprised. at the same time. Several lines of information flashed before Xia En''s eyes. The integration of "Black Swan" and "Fate Weaving Shuttle" is completed! [The ship''s speed, sturdy and mysterious attributes have been greatly improved! Spiritual sublimation completes! [Acquiring features: Shuttle through the secret realm! [The current "Black Swan" can realize the shuttle between the secret realms by locking the coordinates of the target secret realm! [Get the title: The ship galloping across the secret sea! [From today, the Black Swan will become a ship that can set sail in the "Secret Sea"! For the effect of "captain''s majesty". [Comprehensive quality: 7080! [Local degree of mastery of the law of void: 17%! "Is this... a title?" Xia En was slightly stunned when he saw the text on the panel. He didn''t expect that he had not yet won the so-called [Legend Title], but as a result, [Black Swan] took the lead. However, after careful consideration. Xia En felt that the so-called [title] may represent a unique characteristic. For example, the Black Swan can navigate in the Secret Sea, which is probably something that no other ship can do. Therefore, this is recognized by the [The Secret Sea], or the [Great Law]. This has formed a unique [title]. No matter what, Xia En was very happy about Xiao Hei''s breakthrough. The improvement of 10 points of comprehensive quality is enough to show that the improvement of [Black Swan] this time is so great. Even Xia En''s strength has been strengthened again. As for Xia En''s own feeling, he is probably close to the category of an eighth-level secret path. That is to say. When facing powerful people like Moussa and Heller, they all have the power to fight. at the same time. The improvement in the degree of mastery of [Void Law] has also allowed Xia En to develop some new uses of [Void Secret Power]. But it has not passed the actual verification yet. Not long. Xia En opened his eyes and saw several crew members surrounding him. "Mr. Captain, how is Xiao Hei?" Joey asked impatiently. Xia En smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked the ship''s side of the [Black Swan]. "Xiao Hei has completed the fusion, and now it is stronger than ever." He carefully observed the appearance of the [Black Swan] at this time. I found that it has changed a lot from before. The entire ship expanded again. The hull still remains deep black, but in the sun, it is filled with a faint silver light, as if stars dotted in the night sky. Those silver-white patterns are like ancient runes, vaguely exuding mysterious power. The black swan statue on the bow of the ship became more lifelike, as if it would flap its wings and fly high at any time. The aura of the entire ship became deeper and deeper. Revealing a mysterious and extraordinary temperament. Shane stood on the deck, feeling the new power emitted by [Black Swan]. Every inch of the wooden board and every cable in the hull seemed to tell its transformation. The crew members surrounded him and looked at the current [Black Swan] with curious eyes. Although they have witnessed similar changes several times. But every transformation of [Black Swan] still surprised the crew. "Drip-" [Black Swan] let out a long and joyful sound. The next moment. The hull was shaking slightly, and the silver-white runes flashed on the surface of the hull, as if ancient words were awakening. The sails are automatically without wind, emitting a faint glow. Immediately afterwards, the entire ship slowly took off the shackles of the sea of ??clouds and floated in mid-air! "This...is this flight?" Joey said in surprise with wide eyes. Even before this, the Black Swan had already shown many magical features that were different from other ships. But no matter what, it is still a ship that needs to be sailed on the sea. Even the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is because of the special nature of the sea of ??clouds here that the [Black Swan] can sail on it. But now. Can it even float directly in mid-air? ! "Is this the change brought about by the integration of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Carles looked at the scene in amazement. Both are living beings without flesh and blood, there are actually some similarities between her and the [Black Swan]. So, she could detect it more clearly. The soul of [Black Swan] has undergone some transformation, bringing it one step closer to its true life. "It''s not just that!" Xia En spoke, "The current [Black Swan] can shuttle between different [Secret Realms] like [Fate Weaving Shuttle]!" Hearing this, An''s eyes lit up. "In other words, now... can we... drive the [Black Swan] directly to the [Elf Secret Realm]?" "That''s right." Shane nodded. "It''s time to say goodbye to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "But now, we have to pick up the string song on the ship first and say goodbye to [King of Dragons] at the same time." In the past few days, Xiange has been practicing everywhere in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], trying to break through the legend. Even Xia En didn''t know her specific location. However, with the [Pupil of Secrets] that can see [Line of Destiny], it is only a matter of time before the String Song is found. And at this time. Several ancient dragons nearby also surrounded them and looked at the [Black Swan] with curious eyes. They all noticed that the ship seemed to have undergone some strange changes. Xia En stood on the deck, his eyes swept across the ancient dragons around him and smiled slightly. He knew that these ancient dragons were curious about the changes in the [Black Swan]. After all, ships that can merge with [Fate Weaving Shuttle] are an unheard of miracles even for ancient existences. Just then. A familiar dragon roar came from a distance. Xia En looked up and saw Xian Ge''s figure flying from the sea of ??clouds. Her breath was more solid than before. Obviously, her strength has been significantly improved during this period of practice. "Captain Shane, I''m back." The string song turned into a human form and landed lightly on the deck, with an excited light flashing in his eyes. She had obviously noticed the changes in the [Black Swan], with a hint of expectation on her face. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "Sir Captain, are we going to set out?" "Yes, you''re here just right." Xia En smiled and said, "It seems that you are ready." Xiange nodded: "Yes, I have touched the threshold of legend, only one last step away." Shane patted her on the shoulder and encouraged. "Don''t worry, when we leave the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], you will have enough chance to break through." Xian Ge responded firmly: "Yes!" It seems that I noticed the movement here of [Black Swan]. The low dragon roar sounded. In the sea of ??clouds, the phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] appeared again and slowly approached the [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, it seems you are ready to leave." The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. Xia En responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Excellency." We have been here for a long time, and its time to continue our journey. A complex look flashed through the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Thank you again for your help in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "The integration of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] will definitely last for several years or even decades." "We will find a way for humans and ancient dragons to coexist during this period." Speaking of this, the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] were paused. "In addition, I have another private matter to ask Captain Shane, you." Xia En looked straight: "Please speak." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] looked at the string song not far away and said. "Actually, before Xiange was reincarnated, I always treated her as my sister." "Although she can''t remember the past now, I still hope that you can protect her." Xia En was slightly stunned, then nodded solemnly. "Don''t worry, your Excellency." "Shinge is not only my partner, but also my important friend." "I will do my best to protect her no matter what happens." A hint of relief appeared in the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], and a little emotion was felt in the low dragon roar. "I feel relieved with you." Xiange stood aside, his expression a little complicated. Although she lost the memory of her previous life, she couldn''t help but feel a warm current in her heart when she heard the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. She whispered, "Thank you for your concern, I will take good care of myself." As the separation approaches, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] rarely acts like an elderly man, said. "If you have time, you can go back to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] to take a look." "Even if this is not our former hometown, it can be your eternal home." Xian Ge nodded slightly, and a hint of gratitude and reluctance flashed in his eyes. She replied softly, "I will." The phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] slowly dissipated in the sea of ??clouds, leaving only a low voice. "I wish you a good journey." As the [King of Dragons] left, Xia En turned around and said to the crew. "Everyone, prepare to set off!" "Our next goal - [Elf Secret Realm]!" As he said that, Xia En looked at Jian He''an. [Black Swan]''s [Secret Land Shuttle] is not unlimited. First, we must determine the "coordinates" of the target secret realm. And just so happens that as part of Laila, she is a pure-blooded elves, there must be some connection with the [Elf Secret Realm]. on the other hand. Jane also has the ability to analyze this connection. Shane said, "Jane, An, please." Jane and Ann looked at each other and nodded. Jane walked forward, closed her eyes, and raised her hands gently, as if she was sensing some subtle fluctuation in the air. A faint light appeared on her fingertips, as if capturing some invisible clue. "An, I need your help." Jian said softly. An walked to Jane and held her hand. The auras of the two seemed to merge into one at this moment. An also emitted a faint light, which was the pure power of the elves. After a moment. Jane opened her eyes, and a trace of enlightenment flashed through her eyes. "I found it." She whispered, "The coordinates of [Elf Secret Realm]... are there." As he said that, a special rune gradually emerged from Jian''s fingertips. It contains information about the coordinates of the [Elf Secret Realm]. Immediately, the coordinate rune was immersed in the hull of [Black Swan] and was received by Xiao Hei. Xia En asked, "Xiao Hei, can you determine the direction of the [Elf Secret Realm]?" No problem at all, master! Xiao Hei''s voice was full of confidence and expectation. Xia En smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it: "Then let''s go!" With his orders, the hull of the Black Swan vibrated slightly, and silver-white runes flashed on the surface of the hull. "Drip-" With this chirping, the sails automatically radiated a faint glow. The entire ship slowly turned its direction, and the bow of the ship was aimed at an invisible coordinate point in the void. Gradually. The silver-white light wrapped the entire ship like flowing water. The next moment. The air around the hull began to twist, and a silver-white door of light slowly unfolded in front of the hull. In the light gate, there seemed to be countless stars flashing, deep and mysterious, emitting heart-wrenching fluctuations of power. The hull of [Black Swan] trembled slightly, and then slowly drove into the light gate. Shane stood on the deck, feeling the twists and changes in the surrounding space. In his vision, the original sea of ??clouds was gradually replaced by a vain darkness. Only countless streams of light were left around him, swiftly passing by. It seems to be in a tunnel woven by stars. The crew also held their breath and watched nervously and expectantly as the changes around them. Even though they have experienced many adventures, they still feel extremely novel in the face of this journey across the secret realm. Joey murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of shock. "This is... [Shift through the Secret Realm]?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 436 Encounter [Secret Sea Beast]! Chapter 436 Encountering [Secret Sea Beast]! Looking at the streaming light passing by rapidly around. Xia En was also a little amazed. He could feel the [Secret Land Shuttle of the Black Swan]. Essentially, it is to open a passage through the [Secret Sea]. The flowing light surrounding it is actually the large and small [secret realms] in the [Secret Sea]. It can also be said. At this moment, they had already entered the [Secret Sea] with their bodies! Even though Shane has explored the [Secret Sea] several times. But the previous few explorations were either his actions in the promotion ritual or his submarine with the help of the projection body. This is the first time I have personally entered the [Secret Sea] like this! However, Xia En also realized that this passage woven by silver-white light actually isolated the power of the [Secret Sea]. This will prevent the crew members from being affected by the [Hidden Sea]. In principle, this is a bit like those artificially built undersea tunnels A layer of invisible barriers bears the pressure of sea water for the people passing through it. And obviously. Such abilities come from the [Black Swan] that are absorbed by it. It has to be said that [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is indeed worthy of the name of a magical weapon. Its not in vain that Xia En and others have worked so much effort to get it. However, thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have some other thoughts in his heart. Since Goddess of Destiny''s magical artifact has such magical functions. So, will the other gods on the Seven Seas also have their own powerful artifacts? Moreover, where are those ancient gods and their artifacts now? Just as Xia En''s thoughts fluctuate Dong! A muffled sound suddenly sounded outside the surrounding streaming tunnel. Immediately afterwards, the entire passage opened by [Black Swan] began to vibrate violently. It also swayed left and right without control. The crew members grabbed the fixed objects around them, stabilized their bodies, and looked shocked and suspicious on their faces. "What''s going on?" "what happened?" Joey asked nervously, his eyes scanning around, trying to find out where the vibration came from. Xia En frowned and looked at the empty darkness outside the passage with a serious look. He could feel it. A powerful and unfamiliar force is rushing to the passage opened by the [Black Swan], as if something is trying to break into this space. "Xiao Hei, can you sense what''s happening outside?" Xia En asked in a deep voice. [Master, there is an unknown force trying to interfere with our voyage. Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with a hint of solemnity. It seems...from the depths of the "Secret Sea"! Xia En frowned even deeper. "From the depths of the [Secret Sea]?" From his previous experience of exploring the [Secret Sea], I have known it for a long time [The Secret Sea] is a strange space intertwined by countless secret realms and laws, which contain countless unknown dangers and mystery. Moreover, in the depths of the Secret Sea, there are many indescribable terrible existences. Facing such a guy, just attracting their attention may lead to a catastrophe. Just then. Jian looked in one direction in the flowing light channel and said in a deep voice. "Captain Shane, look there!" Xia En immediately looked in the direction of Jian''s gaze. I saw that in the dark void and the chaotic stream, the shadows revealed the outline of a huge creature. The outline of the behemoth gradually became clear, as if it slowly emerged from nothingness. Its body is so huge that it is immeasurable, like a moving mountain, covering the stars in the [Secret Sea]. Its surface is covered with countless flickering textures, each of which exudes an ancient and profound atmosphere. It seems to contain some kind of power that transcends time and space. What is most heart-wrenching is that its shape is not fixed, but constantly changing. Sometimes it looks like a giant beast, sometimes it looks like a nebula, sometimes it even looks like a floating island. Its existence itself is like a miracle in the [The Secret Sea]. "What''s that?" Joey''s voice trembled a little. Although she has seen many spectacular and incredible scenes. But the giant beast in front of her was still an existence that she could not imagine. String songs also showed a shocking expression. She could feel that the giant, in terms of body shape or breath, was even several times stronger than the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]! And at this time. Xia En sensed some familiar aura from the giant beast. "It''s... [Secret Sea Beast]!" The so-called [Secret Sea Beast] is a unique creature in [Secret Sea]. They will shuttle back and forth in different secret realms and gradually grow. This creates a brand new [secret realm] in the heart in the body. The reason why Shane was recognized by the [Rhine Secret Realm] is because he got the heart of the [Secret Sea Beast] in Augustine''s legacy. Xia En''s eyes were tightly locked on the approaching [Secret Sea Beast], and his thoughts were rotating rapidly. It is different from the [Secret Sea Beast] that has been dead for a long time. The big guy in front of him is clearly in full bloom. Perhaps, it is still a fully mature individual. Its strength has exceeded the ninth level division standard of [Seven Seas World] and has entered a new level. Such an existence is not an enemy that Xia En and others can deal with now. But the good news is. According to some legends learned by Xia En, the [Secret Sea Beast] has a milder temperament. Often, they will not actively attack other creatures in the [secret realm]. That is to say. It is probably just a coincidence that [Secret Sea Beast] will appear here. As long as it is not targeted by those malicious beings, it is already a blessing. The key now is how to pass through this area smoothly without irritating it. "Xiao Hei, can you avoid it?" Shane asked in a low voice. [Master, I am trying to adjust the course, but its breath has locked us and seems to have become interested in our existence. Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with a hint of nervousness. Xia En frowned, his thoughts fluctuated. "Wait, is it because... [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Now I think about it, the ability to travel through the [Secret Realm]. It is very similar to the rumored characteristics of [Secret Sea Beast] in different [Secret Realms]. Perhaps, there is some connection between it and the [Secret Sea Beast]. Just then. The form of the [Secret Sea Beast] changed again, and its body gradually condensed into a dazzling nebula, as if it was about to absorb the brilliance of the entire [Secret Sea]. Its eyesif that could be called a sightseemed to penetrate the streaming channel and land directly on the Black Swan. "Captain, what should we do?" Joey asked nervously, ready for the fight. Xia En took a deep breath and said calmly. "Don''t act rashly, it has not shown hostility yet." "Let''s observe its movements first." The crew members nodded one after another. Although they were nervous, their trust in Xia En kept them calm. Xiange walked to Xia En and whispered. "Captain Shane, I can feel its emotions..." It doesnt seem to be malicious to us, it seems to be observing us. Shane nodded, "Yes, it may just be curious about us." "After all, it is probably the first time that it has seen a ship that can navigate in the [The Secret Sea]." Soon, the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] suddenly let out a low buzz. The sound is like the sound of ancient bells, echoing in every corner of the [Secret Sea]. With this buzzing sound, its body slowly approached the Black Swan, as if it was about to observe this strange ship closer. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "Xiao Hei, stay alert, but don''t make any aggressive moves." Shane whispered. Understand, master. Xiao Hei responded. As the [Secret Sea Beast] approached, Xia En could clearly feel the ancient and profound power emitted by it. That power is not violent, but rather has a gentle sense of tolerance. Even...there was a kindness. Xia En had an inexplicable feeling. That''s... The [Secret Sea Beast] in front of him seems to regard the [Black Swan] as his kind? Itit doesnt seem hostile. An said softly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Xia En nodded, relaxing a little. He activated the secret power, and the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] in his chest gradually lit up, and he released his breath and kindness towards the [Empty Beast] outside the passage. Since the misunderstanding has occurred in the [Secret Sea Beast], you might as well take advantage of this misunderstanding. The [Secret Sea Beast] seemed to feel Xia En''s breath, and its body trembled slightly. Then there was a gentle buzz, as if responding. Immediately afterwards, its form changed again, gradually condensed from a dazzling nebula into a huge belt of light. Surrounded by [Black Swan]. The light belt is like a gentle river, gently wrapping the [Black Swan], as if expressing a certain kind of friendly emotion. "It...it seems to be welcoming us?" Joey said in disbelief with wide eyes. Xia En nodded, feeling a little relaxed in his heart. At the same time, he began to think about the next action. Since [Secret Sea Beast] showed kindness to [Black Swan], they may be able to use its power to arrive at [Elf Secret Realm] faster. So Xia En tried to use his mental power to touch this [Secret Sea Beast] and convey his meaning. After a moment, [Secret Sea Sky Beast] let out a low buzz, as if responding to Xia En''s request. Then, its body slowly moved. The light band surrounding the [Black Swan] began to gradually shrink, as if guiding the direction for [Black Swan]. "It agrees!" A hint of joy flashed in Xia En''s eyes. "Captain, are we really going to follow it?" Joey asked nervously. Shane nodded, Since it is willing to help us, then we will follow it. "After all, [The Secret Sea Beast] knows far more about [The Secret Sea] than us." "With its guidance, we may be able to arrive at the [Elf Secret Realm] faster." Following Shane''s orders. [Black Swan] slowly adjusts its course, following the light belt of [Secret Sea Beast], heading towards the depths of [Secret Sea]. The surrounding streaming tunnel gradually dissipated, replaced by a deeper void. Countless starlight flashed in the distance, as if guiding them. The light belt of [Secret Sea Beast] is like a gentle bridge, leading the [Black Swan] through the layers of spaces in the [Secret Sea]. Xia En could feel that they were approaching towards the [Elf Secret Realm] at an unprecedented speed. "This speed is incredible." Carlress sighed in a low voice. Jian also agreed: "Yes, with the help of [Secret Sea Beast], we may only need a few minutes to reach the [Elf Secret Realm]." With the sailing of [Black Swan], the surrounding light gradually became sparse, replaced by a dazzling starry sky. In the starry sky, countless stars shine with soft light, as if welcoming their arrival. Joey asked, pointing at the glory not far away. "Is that the [Elf Secret Realm]?" Shane nodded, Thats right, thats our destination. As the Black Swan approached, the glory gradually became clear. It was a huge portal woven by countless stars. Behind the portal, a new world could be vaguely seen. It''s just at this time. Both Jian and An''s expressions were a bit complicated. Jane''s mother and grandmother are both pure blood elves. Moreover, when she was very young, the two left her side. Even after talking to Shane, Jane learned that they were probably not dead, but came to [Elf Secret Realm]. But so many years have passed, Jane''s heart is still full of complex emotions. And An''s situation is even more special. Although she has some memory of Leila. But An didn''t have much real feeling about the identity of the elves. After all, she had worn the armor used to isolate bad luck very early. Almost no one knows her elfs identity. The people you come into contact with are generally ordinary humans. Therefore, I was inevitably a little uneasy about setting foot on that elf land at this time. Xia En noticed the two of them, walked to them and said softly. "Jane, An, no matter what happens next, we will face it together." "You are not alone." Jane nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes. "Thank you, Captain Shane." An also smiled, and the tension in his heart eased a little. Just then. The light belt of [Secret Sea Beast] slowly dissipated, and its body condensed into a dazzling nebula, suspended next to [Black Swan]. It made a low buzz, as if saying goodbye. Xia En bowed slightly to the direction of [Secret Sea Beast] and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, friend." [Secret Sea Sky Beast] made another buzzing sound. Then he slowly retreated into the depths of the [Secret Sea] and disappeared into the endless void. Xia En withdrew his gaze and looked at the portal woven by the starlight ahead. "The next thing is our own journey." "Xiao Hei, prepare to enter the [Elf Secret Realm]." (End of this chapter) Chapter 437 【Elf Secret Realm】 and 【Rhine Secret Realm】 Chapter 437 [Elf Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm] Yes, master! With Xia En''s order, [Black Swan] slowly drove into the starlight portal. After breaking through a barrier that is indescribable. The world in front of Xia En and others has undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally deep void disappeared. Instead, it is a world full of vitality. Three huge suns hung in the sky. The gentle sunshine shines on the earth, reflecting a golden brilliance. In the distance, giant trees towering into the clouds are endless like mountains, and the sky city built by elves can be vaguely seen between the tree canopy. The air is filled with a rich natural atmosphere, as if every breath can make people feel the rhythm of life. "Is this... [Elf Secret Realm]?" Joey widened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. Even though they have seen the majesty of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But whenever you come to another secret realm, you will inevitably be impacted by the unique styles between different secret realms. But soon, Xia En''s expression became a little weird. He inexplicably felt a little visual from the scene in front of him. Vital air, clear blue sky, lush green forest... And the almost overflowing vitality around him made him feel familiar for no reason. Not only Xiaen, but other crew members of the [Black Swan] also showed similar expressions after breathing the air in the [Elf Secret Realm] for a while. String Ge, who turned into a human form, walked to Xia En and spoke. "Captain Shane, why is this environment of [Elf Secret Realm] so similar to... [Rhine Secret Realm]?" That''s right, just the observation of Xia En and others. In addition to the three suns in the sky and some buildings that are vaguely visible on the tree canopy in the distance. The [Elf Secret Realm] in front of them is almost the same as the [Rhine Secret Realm]! How can this kind of thing not surprise everyone? Jian had also been to the [Rhine Secret Realm], so he quickly saw the abnormal similarity and couldn''t help but frown slightly and murmur. "What''s going on?" "How is [Elf Secret Realm] so similar to [Rhine Secret Realm]?" Xia En pondered for a moment and said slowly. "Perhaps there is a connection between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] that we have not yet known." He recalled the scene he saw in the [Rhine Secret Land]. Especially the vitality forest and the rich natural atmosphere are almost the same as the [Elf Secret Realm] in front of you. This similarity is by no means accidental, but some deeper correlation. Joey guessed: "Is it possible that the Elf Secret Realm is the Rhine Secret Realm." "Just like the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm]." "Sir Captain, you thought you were exiled to another [Secret Realm], but in fact, you were just teleported to the back of the [Flow Moon Secret Realm]." Shane said after thinking, "This possibility cannot be ruled out." "But I prefer that these two secret realms are independent of each other." "Because, according to the exploration of the Yongyue tribe, they did not find any traces related to the [Elf Secret Realm] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "On the other hand, if this is the [Rhine Secret Land]." "As the Lord of Rhine, I should have some sense at the first time." "That''s right." Jane nodded, agreed with Xia En''s statement and said. "I speculate that the relationship between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] may be the relationship between the twin [Secret Realm]." "Twin [Secret Realm]?" Hearing Jane''s speculation, Xia En raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. "What do you mean is that [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] were originally one, but later they were split into two independent [Secret Realm] for some reason?" Jane nodded and explained, Yes, thats a great possibility. "Secret Realm is born from the heart of Secret Sea Beast." "But no one knows whether [Secret Sea Beast] has only one heart?" "Perhaps, the one who gave birth to these two similar secret realms is the same [Secret Sea Beast]." Upon hearing this, Xia En''s eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered that there were also traces of Leila on the [Sand Island] where the [Norvich Treasure] was buried. Maybe it is also related to Leila that he can get the heart of the [Secret Sea Beast]. even This may be the clue left for him by Leila. However, Xia En had not noticed it before. Instead, he used a simple and crude method like "Fate Weaving Shuttle" to enter the [Elf Secret Realm]. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said. "No matter what, the connection between these two [secret realms] needs to be further explored." At this moment, An suddenly pointed to a forest in the distance and whispered. "Look, there seems to be something moving there." Everyone looked in the direction An pointed, and saw a few figures vaguely passing through the trees in the forest in the distance. The figures were light and agile, as if they were integrated with the forest. Xia En immediately became alert: "It''s probably the patrol of the elves!" "Everyone be careful." Although Shane''s impression of the elves of [City of Giant Trees] are friendly and peaceful. But the elves in [Elf Secret Realm] have been isolated from the world for too long. No one knows what their attitude would be towards outsiders now. The crew held their breath and stared at the direction where the sound came. Not long after, several figures slowly walked out of the forest. Those were a few elves. They were wearing light green robes and holding long bows, staring vigilantly at the Black Swan and the people on the ship. They have handsome appearance, long ears and fair skin, exuding a breath that blends with nature. "External?" "Human?" The elves were obviously surprised to see this ship floating in the air. They have settled in this [Elf Secret Realm] for thousands of years. If it weren''t for the history passed down from generation to generation. Many elves have even forgotten that there are races like "humans" in the world. So at this time, when they saw the [Black Swan] and the people on the ship, these elves seemed both surprised and alert. "Who are you? Why did you break into the [Elf Secret Realm]?" The elf warrior in the lead questioned loudly in the elf language, his vigilant attitude beyond words. Xia En stepped forward and replied in elf. "I am Xiaen, the captain of the Black Swan." "We have no malice, we just came to find the clues left by the former Elf Queen, Laila." "Once the elf queen Leila?" The elf in the head raised his eyebrows: "Who is that?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly sank. What he was most worried about was still happening. Time is the most ruthless thing, and it can wash away countless traces of existence. Obviously, these elves in the [Elf Secret Realm] no longer remember the existence of Laila. Just then. An hesitated for a while, took off her helmet, revealing her long silver-white hair, emerald green eyes, and pointed ears. When the elves saw her appearance, they were shocked again. "Same race? But..." And in the patrol, a female elf suddenly said in surprise. "Her looks like a statue in the square!" The female elves'' words attracted the attention of other elves, and they all turned their eyes to An and looked at her appearance carefully. An was a little uncomfortable being seen, but she remained calm and looked back at them with a firm look. "You say she looks very similar to the statue in the temple?" The leading elf warrior turned to look at the female elf, with a hint of confusion in his tone. The female elf nodded and said with certainty: "That''s right." "Especially those eyes, you won''t admit your mistake just by looking at them." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! The elf warrior led meditated for a moment, then said to Xia En and others. "You guys wait here first, don''t act rashly." "We need to go back and ask the elders for advice." Shane nodded and expressed his understanding: "We won''t do anything randomly, please give us an answer as soon as possible." The elf warriors quickly retreated back to the forest, leaving Xia En and others standing on the deck of the [Black Swan], waiting quietly. "It seems that Laila has left some traces in the [Elf Secret Realm] after all." Shane whispered. Ann, as part of Leila, naturally has the exact same appearance as hers. Since the elves have seen Laila''s statue, it means that the traces of Laila''s existence have not been completely erased. The thought of finding clues left by Laila soon. Xia En''s mood was quite complicated. He was looking forward to this matter, but he was worried that he would still not be able to find Laila in the [The Secret Sea] in the end. Time passes minute by minute. The surrounding forests are still quiet, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the treetops. Finally, there was another movement in the forest in the distance. Several figures walked out of the woods, led by an elderly elf woman. She was wearing a robe embroidered with complex patterns and holding a scepter inlaid with gems, with a kind face but majestic one. Her eyes swept across Xia En and others, but eventually suddenly stopped on Jane''s face. "You are...Jane Vivian?!" Jian''s body shook slightly and he looked at the other person in surprise. At this time, Xia En also saw that the appearance of this elf woman and Jane were exactly five points similar. Jane nodded and said, "I am Jane, you are..." "It''s you." The older elf woman showed emotion. "I am your mother''s sister, Kundy, you can call me... aunt." Jane''s pupils contracted slightly, obviously shocked by the sudden news. She didn''t expect that she would meet her mother''s relatives first in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Kundy walked forward, gently held Jane''s hand, and said softly. "You look really similar to your mother, and I recognized you at a glance." Jane''s throat was a little tight, and she whispered, "My mother...is she okay?" Kundy''s expression slightly darkened and she sighed, "Your mother...she''s gone." Jane''s heart sank suddenly, although she had already had some premonition. But when I heard this news, I still felt an indescribable sadness. "What''s she..." Kundy gently patted Jane''s back of her hand and comforted her: "She sacrificed to protect the [Elf Secret Realm]." "It was a terrible war, and we lost a lot of people." Jane had lived for hundreds of years after all, and after a brief period of sadness, she adjusted her emotions and asked. "What about my grandmother?" Kunti replied, My mother, Angel, is still alive, but she is dormant now. "But this time, maybe... it''s a chance to awaken her." While saying this, Kundy''s eyes fell on Xiaen who was beside her. "Are you Captain Shane?" Shane nodded and said, "Yes." "My mother once mentioned your name to me." Kunti asked, "You came for the message left by Queen Leila, are you?" "Anqi... mentioned me?" Xia En was a little surprised when he heard this. He still remembers that when [Emerald Island] encountered [God''s Wrath], he helped Anqi and other elves get out of danger. However, at that time, he was in a state of [Deep Sea Scuba] and was wearing a black robe. An Qi should not know her identity. unless Did Laila talk about this to her? Xia En''s thoughts surged. He looked at Kundy and asked in a deep voice: "Ms. Angel...How did you know me?" Kundy smiled slightly, and a deep light flashed in her eyes. "Empress Laila left some prophecies before leaving." "It mentions your name and you will come to [Elf Secret Realm]." "prophecy?" Xia En''s expression was a bit weird. Why does he seem to always encounter these prophecies related to him? Kunti continued: "The prophecy of Queen Lera mentioned that you will lead us to new hope." "And my mother, Angel, as one of the people Queen Laila trusts most, has been waiting for your arrival." "She has many ancient secrets, and in order to protect these secrets, she chose to go dormant." It will only wake up when she thinks the time is right. "And now, your arrival may be the time she is waiting for." Xia En nodded, and had already made a decision in his heart. "Then can we go to see Ms. Angel now?" Kundy smiled slightly, "Of course." "But before that, we need to go to the [Elf Temple] first." It is where Queen Laila left her prophecy and where my mother hibernated. She turned around and waved to the elves behind her, signaling them to make way. "plz follow me." Shane and others followed Kundy through the dense forest and headed towards the [Elf Temple]. Not long after, everyone came to a huge tree canopy city. The city is completely built on a huge ancient tree, with its canopy covering the sky like an umbrella. The trunks are wrapped around countless vines and stairs, connecting various buildings. This city has the same effect as the [Emerald Holy City] that Xia En saw on [Emerald Island]. They are all a city built on giant trees. But just after Shane and his group walked into the city. Suddenly, a soldier from the elves ran to Kunti in a hurry. "Elder Kundy, it''s not good!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 438 【Black Sun Flying】【Elf Temple】 Chapter 438 [Black Sun Flying in the Sky] [Elf Temple] "What happened?" Looking at the panicked elf warrior in front of him, Kundy''s eyes narrowed and asked in a deep voice. The elf warrior looked up at the sky and said in a trembling voice. "The sun...the sun is extinguished!" "What?!" Kundy suddenly changed her face and came to a place that was not covered by branches and leaves, looking up at the sky. I saw that one of the three suns that were originally hanging in the sky gradually faded and turned dark. It seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow. The originally warm golden glow gradually faded, replaced by a cold gray. "This is... [Black Sun Voiling]!" There was a little trembling in Kundy''s voice. Xia En frowned and asked, "[Black Sun Lie], what is that?" Kunti explained: "I just said that before we left the Seven Seas World, Queen Laila left many prophecies for us." "Except for your arrival at Captain Shane." "She also said that there are three suns in the [Elf Secret Realm]." "They provide light and heat to this [secret realm], just like the original sun, and it is also a kind of existence that protects us." Quintie paused and continued. "The prophecy once said that when the black sun flies in the sky, it means..." "There is some kind of filthy existence with malicious intentions that is invading this Pure Land." "And when all three suns are extinguished, the [Elf Secret Realm] will usher in a devastating disaster, and the end of the whole world will come!" Upon hearing this, Shane suddenly frowned. "Holding malicious filthy existence?" "Is it []?" Xia En suddenly remembered what Vivian said before. Outside the [Elf Secret Realm], there is a barrier left by Leila, which is used to protect this [Secret Realm] from the invasion of [Evil Mind]. Because of this, Xia En can only enter the [Elf Secret Realm] through the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. "Wait, may I..." Xia En looked up at the three suns in the sky and made a guess. The three suns of [Elf Secret Realm] may be the core of that protective barrier! And the extinction of one of the suns means that the power of that barrier is decaying or being destroyed? "Then what should we do now?" Joey asked with a little nervousness: "Is there any way to stop the sun from extinguishing?" Kunti looked solemn and said, "The prophecy left by Queen Lera does not mention a specific solution." "But I think, my mother, Angel, may know something." "We must go to the [Elf Temple] as soon as possible and wake her up." Xia En nodded and said in a deep voice: "No need to delay, we will go to the [Elf Temple] immediately." Kundy stopped talking and led everyone to speed up. Through the winding vine stairs and intricate tree canopy buildings, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the [Elf Temple]. This temple is located at the highest point of the giant tree. Its architectural style is simple and solemn. The walls are carved with complex magic patterns and emit a faint green light. At this time, the gate of the temple was closed. Two elves in silver armor stood in front of the door, holding spears, with a solemn expression. Quinty stepped forward and said to the guard. "Open the temple gate, we need to awaken Elder Angel." The guards glanced at each other, and one of them said respectfully. "Elder Kunti, following the rules, entering the [Elf Temple] requires the joint permission of the three elders." "Have you received the consent of the other two elders?" Kundy frowned slightly, obviously a little anxious. "The situation is urgent, so there is no time to summon other elders." "A sun in the sky has been extinguished. We must awaken Elder Angel as soon as possible, otherwise the entire [Elf Secret Realm] will be in crisis!" The guards looked embarrassed. Just as one of them was about to open the door for Kunti. A hoarse and majestic voice suddenly rang out. "stop!" Xia En looked in the direction where the voice came. I saw an elf elder wearing a dark green robe walking slowly. His face was cold, his eyes were like a knife, and he held a scepter inlaid with black gems in his hand. The tip of the staff gently tapped the ground, making a dull sound. "Elder Sorian?" Kundy frowned slightly, and her tone was a little displeasure: "What do you mean?" Sorian smiled coldly, glanced over Shane and others, and finally stopped on Kundy. "Kunti, have you forgotten the rules of the [Elf Temple]?" "No one is allowed to enter the temple without the joint permission of the three elders, let alone awaken Elder Anqi." Kundy''s face darkened: "Sorian, it''s not the time to stick to the rules!" "[Black Sun Voiling the Sky] has appeared, and the entire [Elf Secret Realm] is facing a crisis!" "We must awaken Elder Anqi as soon as possible to find a solution!" Hearing this, Sorian disagreed. He snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Crisis? We have completely conquered this [secret realm]." "What crisis can threaten us?" Xia En frowned when he heard this. He guessed Sorian''s mentality at this time. The elves have lived in this closed [Elf Secret Realm] for too long, and are always under the protection of the barrier set by Leila. It is inevitable that there will be elves who have forgotten the once terrible [Wrath of God] and the sacrifices of the past. This became a little arrogant and believed that the elves were the masters of this world. "not to mention" At this time, Sorian''s eyes fell on Xia En and others again, with a clear hostility in his tone. "Kunty, there is one more thing I haven''t asked you yet." "What''s going on with these outsiders?" "They suddenly appeared in the [Elf Secret Realm], and then there was a strange phenomenon of [Black Sun Flying in the Sky]." "Don''t you think this is too coincidental?" "What do you mean?" Xia En frowned, with a hint of coldness in his tone. Sorian sneered and said without hesitation. "I mean, you outsiders are likely to be the culprits of [Black Sun Lie]!" "You broke into the [Elf Secret Realm] and brought ominous power, which caused the sun to be extinguished!" "absurd!" Kundy angrily scolded, "Sorian, you are slandering!" "Captain Shane is the person prophesied by Queen Leila. How could he bring disaster?" "The prophecy of Queen Leila?" Sorian scoffed: "That was a thousand years ago! Who can guarantee the authenticity of the prophecy?" "What''s more, in my impression, Laila has never really become a queen, right?" "Step ten thousand steps back, Laila didn''t come to the [Elf Secret Realm] with us at all." "Who can tell whether her prophecy still applies to the present?" Sorian''s words made Quinty speechless for a moment, and Shane''s face gradually became cold. He didn''t want to get involved in the disputes within the elves, but Sorian''s aggressiveness made him unhappy. Especially Sorian''s attitude towards Laila. It made Xia En rarely feel angry. Just as Xia En was about to refute, An suddenly reached out to stop him. "Shane, let me do it." An said firmly. Xia En glanced at her, nodded, and took a step back. An walked forward, looked at Sorian calmly, and said softly. "Elder Sorian, you suspect that we are the culprits of [Black Sun Lifting], I can understand this." But I want to ask you, do you have any evidence to prove this? Looking at the face that was very similar to the statue of Laila, Sorian felt a little oppressive inexplicably. But now that things have come to this, he can''t retreat. Sorian snorted coldly, "Evidence? Your appearance is the best evidence!" "[Elf Secret Realm] No outsiders have ever entered in thousands of years, and when you come, such a strange phenomenon has happened. Isn''t this enough to explain the problem?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! An smiled and his tone was still calm. "Since that''s the case, I want to prove one thing to you." "What proves?" Sorian frowned, obviously surprised An''s calmness. An did not answer, but slowly closed his eyes. Her hands were gently raised, her palms facing upward, as if she was feeling something. The next moment. A faint silver-white light suddenly appeared around her body, and countless tiny runes were vaguely seen in the light. "This is" Kundy''s eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on her face. Sorian''s expression also changed slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and said coldly. "What trick are you playing?" An ignored him, but continued to release his power. As her power gradually increased, the entire [Elf Temple] suddenly began to shake slightly. The magic patterns on the wall seemed to be activated, emitting a dazzling light. The entire [Elf Temple] seemed to have come alive, and was breathing constantly. Even, not only this temple, but this natural and elves power is spreading into the entire city. An elf guard exclaimed, "The Temple...the Temple is resonating!" Sorian''s face finally changed. He looked at An in disbelief, with a trembling voice. "Who are you?" An slowly opened his eyes, with a sacred and extraordinary light in his eyes. "I am Ann, part of Queen Laila." "My existence is a power with the same origin as the [Elf Temple]." She just finished speaking. The gate of the temple suddenly opened on its own, and a soft light shot out from the door, covering An''s body. at the same time. The extinguished sun in the sky suddenly flashed slightly, as if there was a sign of revival. "This...how is this possible?" Sorian''s voice was filled with shock and disbelief. Kundy walked forward excitedly and held An''s hand. "An, you are indeed the heir to Queen Leila!" "Only you can awaken the power of the temple!" An still had a calm smile on his face, and he turned to look at Sorian. "Elder Sorian, do you still think we are the culprits of [Black Sun Lifting]?" "this" Sorian''s face looked shocked and suspicious. Even though thousands of years have passed, Laila''s deeds have been forgotten by many elves in the [Elf Secret Realm]. But these elders still know more or less. Moreover, what worries Sorian even more is that. Will An''s return affect the ownership of the next throne? In fact. The reason why Sorian attacked Kunti was because now, [Elf Secret Realm] is at a critical period when the Queen succeeded to the throne. The queen candidate he supported and the one Quintie supported belong to different factions. But at present, the emergence of An will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the current situation. Sorian understood in his heart. If An is really the successor of Laila, her existence will completely change the future of the Elves. Sorian''s face changed. Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly. "Maybe...I''m too arbitrary." He had to admit that An''s power and the resonance of the temple could not be forged. This power can only be triggered by the existence of a deep connection with Laila. Seeing this, Kundy immediately seized the opportunity and said. "Sorian, it''s not the time to argue." "We must awaken Elder Anqi as soon as possible to deal with the crisis of [Black Sun Voiling]." Sorian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. "Okay, I agree to open the temple." Everyone walked into the Elf Temple, and an ancient and mysterious aura came to their faces. The light inside the temple was dim, and the runes on the walls were flashing with faint light, as if telling some ancient secret. Kundy led everyone into the temple and came straight to a huge crystal coffin. "Huh? This coffin..." Joey immediately felt that the huge crystal coffin looked familiar. Xia En also saw at a glance that this was very similar to the [Eternal Coffin] placed on [Black Swan]. Obviously, this is the same as the ice coffin that dark ice sleeps in the past. It is also a copy of the [Eternal Coffin]. In the crystal coffin was lying an elderly elf woman, her face peacefully, as if she had just fallen into a deep sleep. Her appearance is somewhat similar to Jane, she is Jane''s grandmother An Qi. "This is my mother, Anqi." Kundy said softly, with a hint of complexity in her tone. Xia En walked forward and looked carefully at An Qi in the crystal coffin. Her skin was still fair and smooth, as if time had left no trace on her. You can vaguely see how Xia En looked when she saw her on [Emerald Island]. However, Angel''s breathing was extremely weak and almost unaware of it. "How can we wake her up?" Shane asked. Kundy took out a ring with green gems inlaid from her arms and gently put it on Angel''s finger. Then she whispered an ancient elf spell. Countless green fluorescent lights appeared in the air, slowly gathering towards An Qi''s body. Gradually. A vitality gradually revived from Angel''s body and then spread throughout her body. The soul sleeping in this body is thus awakened. After a moment. Angel slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little confused at first, but soon she returned to Qingming. Her eyes swept across everyone and finally stopped on Jane''s face. (End of this chapter) Chapter 439 【Heart-breaking Apostle】【Fountain of Life】 Chapter 439 [Heartbreaker] [Fountain of Life] "simple" Angel''s voice was soft and slightly hoarse. "haven''t seen you for a long time." "I didn''t expect that you actually found the [Elf Secret Realm]." Jane''s expression was very complicated and she murmured, "Grandma..." Although the memories of the past have become blurred, after seeing An Qi with his own eyes, the past that he thought he had forgotten still came to his heart one by one. It made her feel very moved. Soon, An Qi''s eyes fell on An''s body, and a shocked look appeared on her face. "Lyra...is it you? Lyra? Looking at An Qi in front of her, An inexplicably felt a feeling of intimacy. But An still shook his head and said, "No, I''m not Leila, my name is An." "In fact, we came to [Elf Secret Realm] this time to find Laila''s message." "install?" Angel was stunned: "Does it mean..." But she had extremely long experience after all, and after a brief surprise, she calmed down and turned to Xia En. "If I guess correctly, you should be Captain Shane as Laila said, right?" Shane nodded: "It''s me." Angel whispered: "This is clearly our first meeting." "But I feel for no reason that I seem to have seen you somewhere." Xia En was a little surprised. It has been thousands of years since I saved An Qi in the state of [Projection Body]. Unexpectedly, Angel still had some impression. However, now is not the time to reminisce. Soon, Kundy stepped forward and held Angie''s hand, her tone was rapid and heavy. "Mother, [Black Sun Flying in the Sky] has appeared, and a sun is extinguished." "What should we do now?" "[Black Sun Voil]? Is Laila''s prophecy true again?" Angel''s brow frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. Xia En added from the side, "I guess the three suns are the core of the barrier." "And one of them is extinguished, which means that the power of the barrier is decaying." "And [] will also use this to infiltrate the power into this [secret realm]." Angel nodded and said, "Your guess is right." "The three suns in the sky are indeed the core of the barrier." Kunty asked anxiously. "Then how should we fix the barrier?" Angel pondered for a moment and replied, "Repairing the barrier requires a special material - the spring water of [Fountain of Life]." It is the energy source of the barrier that can repair damaged nodes. "Just pour the spring water into the ritual left by Laila, the power of the barrier can be restored." "Fountain of Life?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What is that?" "Fountain of Life is the holy spring of our elves, located in the core area of ??the Secret Realm of Elf." Kunti explained: "It contains powerful life energy and is one of the most precious resources in our clan." "Since that''s the case, we go to the Spring of Life immediately to retrieve the spring water." Xia En said decisively. However, at this moment. An elf warrior rushed into the temple in a hurry, his face pale and his expression was panicked. "Not good! [Foot of Life] [Foot of Life] is polluted!" "What?!" Kundy and Angel exclaimed at the same time. "What''s going on?" Xia En asked immediately, feeling a little uneasy. The soldier gasped and his voice trembled. "We just discovered that not long after [Black Sun Flows in the Sky], the spring water of [Fountain of Life] became turbid and emitted a strange aura." "And... there are many weird monsters appearing around the spring water." They can manipulate our emotions and make us irritable, irritable, and even crazy! "Some soldiers...some soldiers seemed to be manipulated, and took the initiative to walk towards the monsters and never came back!" Xia En frowned: "The monster that manipulates emotions?" This was the first time he heard of the existence of such a monster. What made him even more concerned about was... Will this monster have something to do with []? "We must go to [Fountain of Life] immediately!" At this moment, Anqi stood up and said firmly: "If the spring water is completely polluted, repairing the barrier will become impossible." "We''ll leave without further ado!" Xia En nodded and led everyone away from the temple quickly and rushed towards the direction of [Fountain of Life]. Everyone quickly passed through the dense forest and rushed towards the direction of [Fountain of Life]. As the distance shortens, the surrounding air gradually becomes heavier, as if an invisible pressure is covering the area. The branches and leaves of the trees are no longer emerald green, but appear a pathological gray-brown color. It seems to be eroded by some kind of force. On the ground, the originally vibrant flowers and plants also withered and withered, emitting a decayed atmosphere. This situation is somewhat similar to when I encountered the clone of the [Corrupt Apostle], but it is also obviously different. When they arrived near the Fountain of Life, the scene in front of them was shocking. The spring water was originally clear, but now it became turbid. A half of the water surface was covered with strange black ripples, as if countless shadows were swimming in it. On the ground around the spring, many corpses of elves were lying everywhere. Among them are many powerful people with level 5 and level 6. Their expressions were twisted, and their eyes were filled with fear and pain. Obviously, he experienced great mental torture before his death. There was a disgusting smell in the air. Accompanied by a low roar, it seemed as if countless invisible monsters were peeking at them in the dark. "This...this is..." Seeing this scene, the elves coming from nearby couldn''t help but change their faces. And soon, the emotions of these elves were a little out of control. They became restless, with a wild light in their eyes. Some even began to roar in a low voice, as if they would get out of control at any time. Xia En''s face was solemn and he observed the surroundings vigilantly. Just then. A huge monster slowly emerged from the shadow of the spring. Its body is twisted, like it is woven from countless dark tentacles. The surface of its body is covered with squirming eyes, each of which emits a heart-pounding red light. The monster''s head has no fixed shape. Sometimes it looks like a twisted face, sometimes it looks like a ball of black mist. Its existence itself is like a challenge to reason. Just looking at it makes people feel dizzy and endless fear and anger surge in their hearts. "roar!!" The monster let out a harsh scream, and the surrounding elf warriors fell into chaos. Some people covered their ears and fell to the ground in pain. Others had red eyes, waving their weapons, attacking their companions around them frantically. Monsters seem to be able to manipulate their emotions in some way, amplifying their fears and anger infinitely until they completely lose their minds. "Be careful! Don''t look at its eyes!" Angel shouted, but it was already a little late. Several elves were already controlled by the monster''s power and rushed towards Xia En and others. Xia En''s face turned cold and his body flashed like black light. In just a few blinks, these elves were knocked out. Then, he turned to look at the weird monster in the spring. The moment he saw the other person, Xia En could judge that what the other person had was the [filthy secret power]! However, the secret power of this monster is neither the sin power of the [Apostle of the Great Sin] nor the corruption power of the [Corrupt Apostle]. Instead, it has another indescribable filthiness. Just as Shane looked at the monster. The eyes of the monster also turned to Xia En. Xia En felt an invisible force attacking him, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeking into his heart. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Trying to arouse fear and anger deep in his heart. However. Xia En''s mental power has long been far beyond ordinary people. He has experienced countless tests of life and death, and will no longer be easily shaken. He snorted coldly, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body quietly circulated, isolating the power that was trying to invade his mind. "This level of manipulation is ineffective for me." Xia En''s voice was cold and firm. He raised his hand and waved his hand and wanted to [Fall of Void] to kill the monster. But suddenly. A harsh laugh suddenly sounded inside the multi-eyed monster''s body. Pretinteresting Lord mark "Um?" Shane frowned: "Lord? Mark?" At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had killed the [Apostle of Sin]. I seemed to have been stamped with some invisible mark by []. Will be targeted by the [Purgatory Apostles]. And since this monster said this, it means it is the minion of []! However, it is likely to be the manifestation of another [Apostle of the Immortality] secret power. Xia En''s eyes condensed, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body instantly surged, and a faint black halo appeared all over his body. The armor of [Big Dark Sky] instantly covered the body surface. He looked at the eyed monster coldly, his voice low and cold. "Since you are the minion of [], don''t blame me for being rude." The monster let out a sharp scream, and countless eyes on the surface of his body flashed scarlet light at the same time. It seemed as if mocking Xia En''s arrogance. Its tentacles suddenly stretched out like countless black whips swept towards Xiaen. "careful!" Angel''s voice came from behind, with a hint of anxiety. Xia En didn''t move at all, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Just as those tentacles were about to touch him, his figure suddenly disappeared, as if it had merged into the void. [Shut through the void! The next moment. Xia En''s figure appeared above the monster''s head, and a pitch-black void blade condensed in his hand, and a heart-pounding cold light flashed on the blade. He slashed his sword without hesitation. The blade of void cut through the air, creating a pitch-black crack, reaching the core of the monster. This knife seems ordinary, but in fact it can even cut off space. However, the monster''s reaction was extremely fast, its body suddenly twisted, and countless tentacles quickly returned to defense, blocking the front of the Void Blade. The moment the blade collided with the tentacles, a dull explosion made. The power of void and the secret power of filth were fiercely confronted, and a disgusting smell filled the air. "roar!" The monster let out a painful roar, and several tentacles were cut off by the Void Blade. Black liquid gushed out of the wound and landed on the ground. Instantly corroded a charred mark. Shane did not give the monster a chance to breathe, and his figure flashed again and appeared on the side of the monster. He clasped his hands together, and the [Void Secret Power] condensed into a pitch-black energy ball in his palm, and then suddenly pushed it out. "The void collapses!" The energy ball instantly expanded and turned into a huge black hole. The terrifying suction force distorted and swallowed the surrounding air, light, and even space. The monster''s body was pulled by a black hole, and countless tentacles struggled wildly, trying to break free from this force. However, the power of [Void Collapse] is far beyond its imagination. The monster''s body was gradually pulled into the black hole. But even so, there was still no fear in its countless eyes. Some are just endless ridicule and mockery. "The power of the Lord... will pollute everything..." "Heartbreaker Say hello to you..." Shane looked at it coldly, his voice cold. "Your Lord cannot save you." With the last shrill roar, the monster''s body was completely swallowed by the black hole and disappeared without a trace. The black hole also dissipated, leaving only a faint fishy smell in the air. Prove the fierce battle just now. Xia En slowly landed on the ground, and the power of the void around him gradually converged. He turned to look at An Qi and others, and said in a deep voice: "This monster is indeed the minion of []." "It seems that as the guardian barrier becomes weak, His power has begun to penetrate the [Elf Secret Realm]." "really" Angel''s face became extremely solemn. She slowly walked to Xia En''s side and looked at the [Fourth of Life] that had recovered from peace. The spring water is still turbid, and the black ripples slowly rippled on the surface, as if telling some ominous sign. "Just...Heart-breaking Apostle?" Joey murmured, "This is the first time I''ve heard of this name." Shane guessed, "This should be another apostle under []." "His power should be related to manipulating the minds of others." Shane looked at the unconscious warriors. He could feel that as the [Defiled Secret Power] dissipated, they would gradually return to the clarity. At this time, An Qi walked forward, looked at the turbid spring water with a serious expression, and whispered. "The pollution of [Fountain of Life] is even worse than I thought." "If it is not purified as soon as possible, the entire [Elf Secret Realm] will be in crisis." An frowned: "But, what should we do?" Purification Stone Anqi said, "If there is the power of [Purification Stone], it may be able to restore the former appearance of [Fountain of Life]." "only" Xia En frowned slightly: "Just what?" An Qi smiled bitterly on her face. "The current [Elf Secret Realm] may no longer exist in the existence of [Purification Stone]." Xia En''s heart sank: "What does this mean?" Anqi explained: "In fact, originally, there were their own indigenous people in the [Elf Secret Realm]." "And this [Fountain of Life] and [Purification Stone] are actually their belongings." (End of this chapter) Chapter 440 【Ancient Spiritual Clan】【Crisis in the Rhine Secret Realm】 Chapter 440 [Ancient Spiritual Clan] [Crisis in the Rhine Secret Realm] "The indigenous people of [Elf Secret Realm]?" Xia En raised his eyebrows. If you think about it carefully, it is the same. Since there are indigenous people in the [Rhine Secret Land]. Then, the [Elf Secret Realm], which is very similar to it, and even like the twin sisters, will naturally have its own indigenous residents. only The elves now have occupied the [Elf Secret Realm]. Where are those indigenous people now? Xia En looked at An Qi with inquiring eyes. Angel''s eyes became deep, as if she was trapped in distant memories. She said slowly, Those indigenous people are called [Ancient Spirits]. "They are the first residents of this [secret realm]." "[Fountain of Life] and [Stone of Purification] are their holy objects, with incredible power." Ancient Spiritual Clan..." Xia En repeated the name in a low voice, and couldn''t help but think of the existence hidden in the forest in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Will these two be the same creatures? Anqi continued, "Long time ago, the [Ancient Spirits] reached an agreement with us to allow us to settle in this [Secret Land]." "In exchange, we must protect the [Fountain of Life] and [Purification Stone] and respect the traditions and beliefs of the [Ancient Spirits]." "However, as time goes by, the [Ancient Spirits] gradually disappears." "No one knows where they went, and no one knows whether they still exist in this [secret realm]." We tried to find their traces, but we never found anything. Shane frowned: "Suddenly disappeared?" "Where is the [purification stone] before?" Angel replied, "Actually, before you came to the [Elf Secret Realm], [Fountain of Life] was polluted by an unknown force." "At that time, we used the power of [Purification Stone] to restore it to this." "But [Purification Stone] also lost its effectiveness." "Lost your service?" Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. "Yes, please come with me." Under Angel''s leadership, everyone walked through a deep forest and came to a stone altar wrapped in ancient vines. In the middle of the altar, a broken crystal lay there quietly. Its condition is dull and its surface is covered with cracks, as if it will completely shatter at any time. Angel''s voice was low, with a little regret and helplessness. "This is [Purification Stone]." Xia En walked forward and looked at the broken crystal carefully. Its shape and texture made him feel inexplicably familiar. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the stone, and a faint coldness came from his fingertips. Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked. Xia En said in surprise: "Is this... [Rhinstone]?" "Rhinestone?" Before Angel could speak, Joey beside her couldn''t help but show a surprised expression. "Is it the [Rhine Stone] mined in the [Rhine Secret Land]?" The crew members on the Black Swan are naturally familiar with the Rhinestone. After all, Shane not only mined [rhinite] on a large scale in the [Rhine Secret Land], but even sold the excess [rhinite] to the chamber of commerce for transactions. "That''s right." Shane nodded: "However, this seems to be the extremely purity of [rhinite]." "Even the [Rhinite Spirit] we have discovered now is far from reaching such purity." After hearing these words, An Qi couldn''t help asking curiously. "Rhin Stone?Rhin Secret Realm? What is that?" "That''s right." "Actually, when I was in the [Seven Seas World], I once got a [Secret Sea Beast] heart..." In the shortest possible words, Shane explained to Angel the origin of the [Rhine Secret Realm] and its extraordinary similarity to the [Elf Secret Realm]. After hearing Xia En''s explanation, An Qi''s eyes flashed with shock and thoughts. She said slowly, "So that''s it..." "There must be some deep connection between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm]." She looked down at the broken [Purification Stone] and said, "If this [Purification Stone] is really the [Rhinestone] you are talking about." "Then, maybe we can find alternatives from the Rhine Secret Realm to purify the Fountain of Life." Shane nodded and said, "I will return to the [Rhine Secret Realm] now and find the pure enough [Rhine Stone]." "Ms. Angel, please control the pollution of [Fountain of Life] as much as possible during this period." "At the same time, be careful, the monster that was the previous one appeared again." Angel nodded and said, "I will." After saying this, Xia En did not hesitate and directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. A silver door of light was open in front of me. Xia En and the crew walked into the light gate and returned to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. At this time, in [Rhine City]. It''s still a prosperous scene. The tree people, dwarves and Yongyue people in the city are all building their own homes in full swing. The entire [Rhine City] looks like it has changed a lot compared to before. Joey and other crew members hadn''t come to [Rhine City] for a while, and couldn''t help but be surprised by the scene in front of them. She couldn''t help but sigh, "I didn''t expect that the change in [Rhine City] was so big after just so short." The streets are built more tidy and spacious with the efforts of dwarves and tree people. The magic patterns on the building exudes an extraordinary mysterious aura. The clothes of the residents in the city have also undergone significant changes. The appearance rate of excellent armor made by dwarves has greatly increased. The market in the city has also become more lively. Various rare items from their respective races are traded here, such as the dwarf''s exquisite weapons, the magic plants of the tree people, and the preys that the Yongyue tribe tribe tribe hunted. There are a wide range of things, dazzling. The arrival of Xia En and his group naturally attracted the attention of the people in the city. "Mr. Xiaen, you are here!" Sha Jingjing quickly rushed to Xia En, and looked at Joey and others in surprise. Generally speaking, Shane will not bring the crew to the [Rhine Secret Land]. unless What''s important? Sha Jingjing immediately corrected her expression and asked. "Mr. Xiaen, what happened?" Xia En nodded and said with a serious expression: "The [Fourth of Life] in the [Elf Secret Realm] is polluted." "We need to find a pure enough [rhinite] to purify it." Sha Jingjing frowned: "A sufficiently pure [rhinite], isn''t the previous [rhinite] enough?" "Yes." Shane nodded: "I suspect that only in the depths of the [Rhine Secret Realm], and even in the realms of the life of the indigenous people, can we find that kind of purity [Rhine Stone]." "I see." Sha Jingjing said, "When it comes to the indigenous people, I have an important news to report." "These days, traces of the mysterious creatures that were previously appeared outside [Rhine City]." "The nearest footprint is not even more than one hundred meters away from [Rhine City]!" "They probably came to the vicinity of [Rhine City] while the night was dark and observed us." Hearing this, Xia En''s expression suddenly became solemn. "Are they coming?" At this point on the panel. The exploration level of [Rhine Secret Realm] has reached 19.8%! According to Xia En''s exploration, every 10% exploration degree, [Rhine City] will usher in the "test" law of an unknown disaster. The enemy''s footsteps may have been very close. Not only that. As the Lord of Rhine, Xia En also noticed that the breath in the surrounding air became a little restless. Xia En took a deep breath, glanced across the streets of [Rhine City], and felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where is Feiya?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "Why didn''t you see him?" Sa Jingjing said: "In fact, in order to pursue the traces of unknown creatures, Mr. Feiya has gone out of the city with several [Yongyue Clan] warriors and the tree man elder Iris." "Count the time, it''s the fourth day." The fourth day Xia En frowned slightly. "It''s been four days, and have they not heard anything back?" Sha Jingjing nodded and said, "Yes." "But, just a few days ago, Elder Iris broke through to the legendary realm and his strength increased greatly." "It should be...it won''t be a problem, right?" Xia En shook his head, "Not necessarily." If it is really as he thought, [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] are extremely similar existences. Then, there will definitely be powerful existences in [Rhine Secret Realm] that surpasses legends. "No, I have to go and see it myself." Xia En said decisively, then turned to look at Joey and others. "You go with me, Feiya and the others may be in trouble." Soon, the group quickly left [Rhine City] and rushed towards the direction where Fei Ya and others finally appeared. As they penetrated into the forest, the surrounding environment gradually became strange. The originally dense trees began to emit a faint fluorescence, and a pure natural secret power flowed between the branches and leaves. There was a fresh breath in the air. However, there is a certain danger hidden in this tranquility, as if something is peeking at them in the dark. It makes people feel uneasy instinctively. And in the clearings of the forest, there was a huge, obviously inhuman footprint. "These traces... are exactly the same as those found before." Sha Jingjing whispered, with obvious vigilance in her tone. Xia En nodded, his eyes swept around, and a slight sense of oppression was felt in his heart. He could feel that some kind of malice was being released in the forest. Or, resisting their entry. It''s obvious. This place is the home ground for those indigenous peoples. Even if Xia En has the identity of [Lord of Rhine], this influence cannot be completely eliminated. And Joey and others felt even more obvious. They even felt a slight pain like a needle **** on the surface of their skin, which was very uncomfortable. Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation came from a distance. Accompanied by a low roar and a metal collision. Xia En''s eyes froze and he immediately accelerated his pace. Joey whispered, "It''s Feiya and the others!" Everyone quickly passed through a dense forest, and the scene in front of them made everyone gasp. Fei Ya and several [Yongyue Clan] warriors are fighting fiercely with a group of strange monsters. The whole body of those monsters is condensed from pure natural secret forces, and the shape is like a huge ape. The body is transparent and flickering, as if it is integrated with the surrounding natural environment. Their attacks are extremely strange, and they can summon vines, rocks and strong winds with a wave. The offensive was fierce and fatal. Treeman elder Iris is confronting a giant ape creature dozens of meters high. Although Eris has broken through to the legendary realm. But when facing this monster, I still seem helpless. His trunk was covered with cracks, and his branches and leaves were constantly withering, and he was obviously seriously injured. The two sides collided again and again. Each impact causes fluctuations of the earth and mountains. "What the **** are these guys...?" Sha Jingjing exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes full of shock. Xia En''s eyes were locked tightly on the translucent giant apes, and he felt a little familiar in his heart. The aura of these guys is exactly the same as the natural secret power of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Most of them were the existence summoned by the indigenous people of this secret realm. Although their attacks are powerful, they do not have the filthy and evil aura of []. Instead, it carries a pure and ancient power. "They may be the creations of the [Rhine Secret Land] indigenous peoples to protect themselves." Xia En whispered, then raised his hand and waved it: "Prepare for the fight!" Before he finished speaking, Xia En''s figure rushed out like lightning. The [Void Secret Power] in his body instantly surged, and a faint black halo appeared all over his body. [Big Dark Sky]''s armor was covered with armor, and the blade of void in his hand cut through the air. It was approaching the giant ape that suppressed Eris. Xia En was extremely fast and approached the giant ape almost instantly. The blade of void flashed with dark light in his hands, as if it could devour all light. The giant ape seemed to notice the danger, turned around suddenly, let out a deafening roar, and waved its huge fist to hit Xia En. "boom!" The Void Blade collided with the giant ape''s fist and burst out with strong energy fluctuations. Xia En felt a huge shock force and couldn''t help but take a few steps back. However, the giant ape was not feeling well. A deep wound was cut by the blade of void, and pure natural secret power continued to escape from the wound. Xia En was a little surprised. The power of this giant ape actually approached him faintly? ! He hasn''t met an existence that can compete with himself in terms of physical fitness for a long time. No wonder this giant ape was able to suppress the legendary tree man elder Eris. But even so. Not only did Xia En''s heart not be afraid, but instead a stronger fighting spirit emerged. "Come on the fight!" Xia En shouted violently and activated the [Giant Wrist Wheel] that he had not used for a long time. Rumble Accompanied by the surging sound of qi and blood in the blood vessels. Xia En''s body continued to rise and expand, and eventually became a terrifying and majestic giant standing in this forest. Xia En lowered his head and looked at the giant ape below, showing a "kind" smile. (End of this chapter) Chapter 441 【The war is coming】【The anomaly of the a Chapter 441 [The War is Coming] [Anomaly of the Ancient Spirit Clan] As Xia En''s comprehensive quality continues to improve. The once brilliant [Giant Wrist Wheel] has gradually decreased the number of uses. On the one hand, it is because this tool has its upper limit, which makes Xia En''s increase less obvious. On the other hand, the battles that Xia En often does not require him to transform into a giant to fight. And this time, facing this huge giant ape. Xia En can finally use the [Giant Wrist Wheel] to crush it with an absolute body shape. At this moment. The giant ape looked up at Xia En, who had suddenly become extremely huge, with a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. But soon, the shock was replaced by rage. It let out a deafening roar, punched its chest with both fists, then jumped up suddenly and pounced towards Xia En. boom! ! Xia En did not give in, and his huge fist collided with the giant ape''s fist. Two terrifying forces converged in the air, making a deafening roar. The surrounding trees were overturned by shock waves, and deep ravines cracked on the ground. Bang! The giant ape was knocked back by Xia En''s punch, and its huge body slammed heavily on the ground, stirring up a piece of dust. In this fight of pure power, Xia En''s brute force is on top of this giant ape! However, the giant ape quickly turned over, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes, and rushed towards Xia En again. Xia En''s expression did not change, and his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind the giant ape. He clasped his hands together, and the secret power of the void condensed into a huge black light blade in his palm, and slashed down suddenly. "laugh-" A deep bone-observable wound was cut by a light blade on the back of the giant ape, and pure natural secret power gushed out like blood. The giant ape let out a painful roar and staggered forward. However, it did not fall down. The giant ape suddenly turned around and opened its huge mouth. A dazzling beam of natural secret power spewed out of its mouth, reaching Xia En. Xia En''s pupils shrank and he quickly raised his arms. The armor of [Big Dark Sky] condensed into a huge black shield in front of him. "boom!" The beam hit the shield and burst out with dazzling light, but could not hurt Xia En at all. immediately. Xia En took a deep breath. The [Void Secret Power] in the body surged wildly, and the aura around her suddenly rose. "Since that''s the case, then try this trick!" Xia En held up his hands, and the Void Blade quickly expanded in his hands, and eventually turned into a giant black light blade that was dozens of meters long. He swung his sword, and the light blade cut through the air, slashing at the giant ape with the momentum of destruction. "cut!" The giant ape seemed to feel the threat of death, let out a shrill roar, and punched the ground with both fists. A huge barrier of natural secret power rose in front of it. "Boom-" The light blade collided with the barrier, and a earth-shaking sound broke out. The barrier quickly collapsed under the impact of the light blade and eventually shattered completely. The black light remained unabated and directly slashed on the giant ape. laugh- The giant ape''s body was divided into two by the light blade, and the pure natural secret power poured out like a waterfall. Its body slowly fell down and eventually turned into countless spots of light that dissipated in the air. Seeing the giant ape disappearing, Xia En couldn''t feel relieved. Dont look at this giant ape that seems to be easily destroyed by him. But even for a legendary tree man like Eris, this giant ape still has extremely strong suppression. And [Rhine City] only has one Shane. But there are probably more than one giant ape like this. If they appear on the battlefield against Rhine City, the situation will probably become extremely dangerous. Xia En touched the state of transforming into a giant, retracted his thoughts and glanced around. At this time, as the giant ape disappeared, other monsters condensed by natural secret power also retreated one after another, as if they were summoned to them, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest. Feiya and the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan] breathed a sigh of relief, put away their weapons and walked towards Xia En. "Mr. Xiaen, you came too soon!" Feiya''s face was a little tired, but her eyes were still sharp. "These monsters suddenly appeared, and we didn''t have time to react, so we almost..." Xia En nodded: "Feiya, as long as you''re fine." Then his eyes fell on Eris. The tree man elder has already recovered, but the scars on his body are still shocking. "Elder Eris, are you okay?" Eris smiled reluctantly, his voice low and hoarse. "Thank you, Lord Xia En, for your concern, I can still hold on." "I was careless this time. I thought I had broken through the legend and there shouldn''t be too much risk, but I didn''t expect to meet these guys." "The power of these monsters is far beyond our imagination." "They seem to be able to control the natural secret power of the entire forest, and we simply cannot exert all our strength here." Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. "It seems that the indigenous people of the [Rhine Secret Land] have begun to act." Just then. An turned his head suddenly and looked in a direction in the forest. "Captain Shane, there... seems to be something there!" Xia En carefully understood and immediately caught a secretly peeping gaze. After detecting An and Xia En''s actions, the other party seemed to be surprised. Not only did he look away, he also flew towards the depths of the forest. But since it has been discovered, how could Shane let it escape easily? "Hmph, do you want to escape?" A faint light flashed in Xia En''s eyes. [Seeing the Secret Eye]''s vision is directly opened, and a blurry outline is instantly seen in the forest. It was a slender creature. The whole body is shrouded in a faint layer of natural secret power, as if it is integrated with the surrounding forest. Its movements were extremely agile, traveling between the trees like a gust of wind. If it is the naked eye, it is almost impossible to detect its existence. But in the field of vision of [Seeing Secret Eyes], it is like a lighthouse in the darkness and has nowhere to hide. Xia En used the ability of [Void Shuttle] one after another. It came to it in just a few breaths. "Catch you!" What appeared in front of Xia En was a humanoid creature less than half a meter tall. Behind him was a pair of thin wings, with slightly pointed ears, and his pupils were as green as his hair. It looks like an enlarged version of the goblin. Or, a reduced version of the elves? "Is this... [Ancient Spirit Clan]?" Xia En raised his brow and looked at the other party: "What do you want to do? Why are you peeking at us?" This [Ancient Spirit Clan] seemed to realize that he could not escape, so he looked at Xia En with anger. "Enemy! Kill! Exit!" [Ancient Spiritual Clan] What he said was a strange language, but Xia En was inexplicably able to understand the meaning of his words. It is as if this language has some ability to directly convey information. Although Xia En had long known that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] had great hostility towards them, he still tried to communicate with the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in front of him. "I have no intention of being an enemy of you." "[The Rhine Secret Realm] is so big, why can''t we live in peace?" The [Ancient Spirit Clan] sneered. "Enemy is the enemy!" "The enemy you eliminate is the good enemy." Upon hearing this, Xia En frowned. [Ancient Spirit Clan] The stubborn attitude exceeded his expectations. He thought that after communicating with the [Ancient Spirits], a war might be avoided. But now it seems that there is a battle between them! Soon, Ann, Joey and others rushed to Xia En''s side. The fairy Trixi flew out from An''s shoulder and looked at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in surprise. "This guy... looks like me!" "Just a big circle?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! But at this time, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] looked at An in amazement. "Elf!?" "Um?" Seeing his reaction, Xia En raised his brow. "Do you recognize the elves?" In Xia En''s original idea, the [Ancient Spirits] in the [Rhine Secret Realm] should be the native natives here. You shouldn''t know a race like the elves. But at this time, this [Ancient Spirit Clan] clearly expressed the meaning of the word "elves". This shows that these [Ancient Spirit Clans] have definitely seen and contacted elves! Combined with the information Xia En got from Anqi. Then, there is only one answer. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] that lives in the [Rhine Secret Realm] is most likely a group that disappeared in the [Elf Secret Realm]. Even the same race was born in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. But at least, there must be some [Ancient Spirits] migrating from [Elf Secret Realm]. But the problem is... How did they complete such a migration across the [Secret Realm]? Various possibilities flashed through Shane''s mind. He realized that the connection between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] might be deeper than he thought. If the [Ancient Spirit Clan] can migrate across the secret realm, then there may be some kind of...channel between these two secret realms? "You came from [Elf Secret Realm], right?" Xia En looked directly at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in front of him, with a hint of temptation in his tone. [Ancient Spirit Clan]''s eyes flashed, and obviously he didn''t expect Xia En to ask this question directly. His expression became complicated, as if he was hesitating whether to answer. But soon, when I saw An beside me, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] immediately showed an angry expression. "Elf! Take away our home!" "Now... I won''t let us go!" "Enemy! They are all enemies!" Xia En was slightly stunned. This is different from what Angel told him. In the mouth of the [Ancient Spirits], the elves became the culprit who took away their homes and forced them to come to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. But in Anqi''s mouth, they clearly reached an alliance with the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. But the [Ancient Spirit Clan] itself disappeared quietly. Could it be...Anqi was lying? But then he thought about it, Xia En felt that Anqi would not lie about such things. Then, the only explanation left is... Are there some misunderstandings in this? Some of the actions of the elves were considered to be expelling them by the [Ancient Spiritual Clan]? But whatever the reason. [Ancient Spiritual Clan] Treat elves and their malice intent are real. It is obviously unrealistic to use the power of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] to purify the polluted [Fountain of Life]. Xia En looked at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] again and said. "I''ll repeat it last." "I have no intention of provoking war, as long as you live quietly in your own territory and no longer covet my [Rhine City]." We may not be unable to live in peace. In response to this, [Ancient Spirit Clan] just sneered. "Peace...Impossible!" "Our army is already gathering." "Your city is destined to be destroyed!" After saying that, the secret power in the body of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] surged, and then it directly broke its heart and died. Xia En frowned at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] lying on the ground. He didn''t expect that the other party would be so decisive and would rather commit suicide than disclose more information. This extreme reaction made him feel vaguely uneasy. "Captain Shane, what should I do now?" Joey walked forward and asked in a low voice. Xia En pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The attitude of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is already very clear, they will not live in peace with us." "And, from his words, they are already gathering and ready to attack us." "He wants to fight, then fight!" To be honest, Xia En originally had some sympathy for indigenous people like the [Ancient Spirits]. After all, they later entered the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Xia En is not the kind of person who slaughtered all the indigenous people and set up "Thanksgiving" as an anniversary. But now, since the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has shown a decisive attitude. Then Xia En would not be merciful. There is no right or wrong in the world of adults, only a position. Xia En couldn''t let the [Ancient Spirit Clan] razed the [Rhine City] that he had spent so much effort to level the ground. However, it''s inexplicable. Xia En felt that this incident was full of some weirdness. Whether it is the hostility of the [Ancient Spirits] towards the elves or their resolute attitude to start a war, it does not seem to be a normal reaction. It''s like... There is an invisible big hand that controls all this. After thinking for a while, I couldn''t think about the result. Xia En looked at everyone and his tone became serious. We have to be ready as soon as possible. "[Rhine City] is our foundation, and there must be no mistakes." An nodded, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "However, the [Ancient Spirits] can control the secret power of nature, and their power is far beyond our imagination." "If their army really comes, with the current strength of [Rhine City], it may be difficult to resist." Xia En took a deep breath and his eyes were firm. "Anyway, we can''t sit still and wait for death." Now, we need to do two things. "First, return to [Rhine City] immediately and strengthen the fortifications." "At the same time, let the warriors in the critical state break through as soon as possible and prepare to welcome the attack of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." Shane paused and continued. "Second, we must take the initiative to go to the depths of the forest!" "It is not only to determine the situation of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] army, but also to find a more refined [Rhinestone] and purify the [Fourth of Life] of the [Elf Secret Realm]." Everyone answered in unison: "Yes, Captain Xiaen!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 442 【Twisted History? 】 Chapter 442 [Twisted History? Shane nodded, glanced over everyone, and finally stayed on Eris. "Elder Eris, how are you injured? Can you continue to fight?" Eris slowly stood up, although the scars on his body were still shocking, but his eyes were still firm. "Mr. Xiaen, I can still fight." "With the recovery ability of the tree man, I will be able to return to my full status soon." Xia En nodded slightly, and admired the tenacity of the tree man elder. "Okay, then we''ll act immediately." "Fiya, Xiange, Jian, you will take the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan] back to [Rhine City] first to assist in the arrangement of the city defense. "Joey, you, Carles, Ann and I go deep into the forest to explore the movements of the [Ancient Spirits]." After Xiange transformed, the goal was too big and was not suitable for combat in the forest. With simple wisdom, we can manage all matters in [Rhine City]. Xia En was very relieved to hand over the city defense mission to her. "Yes, Captain Shane." Feiya nodded and then quickly left with the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan]. "Captain Shane, are we really going deep into the forest?" "The strength of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] cannot be underestimated, and they have a strong control over the forest, so we may be in danger." Joey said with some concern. Xia En''s eyes were firm and his tone was calm: "It is precisely because the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has a strong control over the forest that we must take the initiative." Passive defense will only put us in a bigger dilemma. "Only by understanding the enemy''s movements and weakening the enemy''s strength as soon as possible can we gain the lead in the next battle." Joey nodded, and although she still had concerns, her trust in Xiaen made her choose to follow. "Let''s go, we don''t have much time left." After Xia En finished speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the depths of the forest. Everyone followed closely behind, and their figures quickly disappeared into the dense woods. Deep in the forest, the light gradually became dim. Tall trees cover the sky and the sun, and the air is filled with a strong natural secret force. Shane could feel that the forest seemed to have its own consciousness, as if...every tree and every leaf were watching them. This feeling is actually very strange. Especially when Shane is the [Lord of Rhine]. It should have been welcomed by the [Rhine Secret Realm], but at this time it was targeted by this forest. This contradictory feeling of being both close and repulsive is quite strange. Shane and his group continued to walk through the forest, with the trees around them getting denser and the light getting darker. A depressing aura spread around. It seemed as if the entire forest was putting invisible pressure on them. "Captain Shane, the concentration of natural secret power here is too high, and I feel that it is difficult to breathe." Joey whispered, her forehead already oozing fine beads of sweat. Among the group, An was in the best condition. As an elf close to nature, such a high concentration of natural breath will be of great benefit to her. This forest is resisting us. Shane whispered, "Be careful, stay alert." At this moment, a slight sound came from the woods ahead. Xia En immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. His [Pupil of Secrets] quickly opened, his eyes piercing through layers of trees, locking in the source of the sound. I saw that in the jungle not far away, there was an area that looked like a [Ancient Spiritual Clan] camp. Several figures suspected to be [Ancient Spiritual Clan] were walking through it. The campsite is surrounded by tall trees and vines, as if it is integrated with the forest. If Xia En''s [Spying the Secret Eye] could penetrate the disguise of natural secret power, it would be difficult for them to discover it here. In the middle of the camp stands a huge altar. The altar is engraved with complex runes, exuding a strong natural secret power. Around the altar, dozens of giant apes composed of natural secret forces were sleeping. Their bodies fluctuate slightly with the rhythm of the altar, as if they are absorbing the power of the altar. Shane noticed that the auras of these giant apes were closely connected to the altar. Obviously, the [Ancient Spirits] are using the power of the altar to create these war weapons. "These giant apes... were actually made through an altar?" Joey whispered, a flash of shock in his eyes. This means that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has the ability to mass produce this giant ape. Although not all giant apes have legendary strength. However, when such war weapons appear on the battlefield, they will undoubtedly cause great casualties to the soldiers of [Rhine City]. And I''m afraid... There is far more than this altar in the forest! This is the meaning of the dead [Ancient Spirit Clan] saying "the army is already gathering." Carles whispered, "Captain Shane, do you want to directly destroy the altar?" "If the [Ancient Spirits] continue to create these giant apes, we will be under greater pressure." Xia En frowned, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Directly destroying the altar can certainly weaken the power of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], but it may also alarm the snake and expose their whereabouts. More importantly. They know too little about the altar and act rashly may lead to unpredictable consequences. Just as Xia En hesitated. The goblin Tracy flew up from Ann''s shoulder and said softly. "Let me go!" "I am a fairy, and I''m similar to the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. They may not regard me as an enemy." "I can sneak into the camp and find out more information." Xia En looked at Tracy, a little concern flashed in her eyes. "This is too dangerous." "[Ancient Spirit Clan]''s attitude towards the fairy is not clear yet. If you reveal it..." Tracy waved her wings and said confidently, "Don''t worry." "Don''t look at me like this, I have my own way of saving my life." "And I think they probably wouldn''t have thought that I would be a scout sent by [Rhine City]." An also nodded and said softly. "Captain Shane, let Tracy try it." Her abilities are indeed suitable for this kind of task. Xia En pondered for a moment, finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, Tracy, you act carefully." "If there is any danger, send a signal immediately and I will go and save you." Cuixi smiled slightly, then turned into a glimmer of light, and flew silently to the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. Xia En and others hid in the bushes outside the camp, watching Tracy''s actions nervously. Not long. Everyone saw Tracy contacting a [Ancient Spiritual Clan]. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] was obviously surprised by the appearance of this similar creature. But he did not immediately show hostility, but instead looked at Tracy with a vigilant and curious look. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why did you appear here?" Cui Xi pointed and stroked her fingers and used her body movements to express her meaning. "You mean...you are a goblin from afar, lost in this forest." "See our camp, want help?" Tracy nodded heavily. [Ancient Spirit Clan] frowned, obviously having some doubts about Cui Xi''s statement. But Cuixi''s appearance and aura are indeed very similar to the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. This prevented him from taking hostile actions immediately. [Ancient Spirit Clan] Continue to ask: "Where did you come from? Why are you lost here?" Cuixi pretended to be calm, pointed to the far horizon, and then showed a crying and sad expression. [Ancient Spirit Clan] After a moment of silence, it seemed to be weighing whether Tracy''s performance was credible. Finally, he nodded, Okay, you can stay in the camp for the time being, but dont walk around. We need to confirm your identity. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Cui Qian was delighted, but nodded quietly on the surface and made a gesture of gratitude. She successfully got into the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. The [Ancient Spirits] in the camp were busy, as if preparing for the upcoming war. Tracy noticed that the number of giant apes around the altar was gradually increasing. It''s obvious. [Ancient Spirits] are accelerating the manufacturing of these war weapons. at the same time. Cuixi also heard the conversation between the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. "The king said that in a few days, our army will be able to assemble." "At that time, the cities of those invaders can be destroyed in one fell swoop." Another [Ancient Spirit Clan] responded. Yes, they invaded our homes and destroyed our forests, and its time for them to pay. "There are also those elves who took our home. We must make them pay their blood debts!" At this time, the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] boy who first met Cui Qian asked. "Elf race, what kind of creature is that?" The older [Ancient Spirits] replied: "That is a guy who looks similar to ours, but is extremely cruel." "They have sinister and cunning personalities, and advocate killing and violence, but they like to embellish themselves with closeness to nature." "Our ancestors were forced to come to this world because of their slaughter and expulsion." "Child, you have to remember that this is the blood feud of our generations!" "Only with blood can we wash it!" [Ancient Spirit Clan] Although the young man was still a little puzzled, he still focused on it and said, "Yes!" On the side, Cuixi was surprised when she heard these words. [Ancient Spiritual Clan] The elves described are completely different from the elves she recognizes, and they are like two species! She had never heard of the elves having such a brutal history, let alone slaughtering and expelling the [Ancient Spirits]. In her perception, the elves have always been a race that is close to nature and advocates peace. How could they have formed such a deep hatred with the [Ancient Spiritual Clan]? She realized that there must be some misunderstanding in this. Or...someone deliberately distorted history? If so. It is not difficult to understand the malice of [Ancient Spirits] towards [Rhine City] and the elves. At this time, the older [Ancient Spirit Clan] said again. "By the way, the reserves of [Holy Stone] have almost been used up." "Hamar, please send someone to send another batch." "yes!" One of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] nodded and immediately left the camp. "Holy Stone?" Tracy''s eyes opened slightly and looked at the altars. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the stones placed near the altar were exactly [Rhinestone]! And these [rhinites] are obviously the secret source of the altar to create giant apes. It is not difficult to hear from the words of the elders of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. [Ancient Spirits] obviously also have their own [rhinite] mining areas, and are mining and using these [rhinites] in large quantities to create war weapons. So. What the elves need is the high-purity Rhinestone that purifies the [Fountain of Life], perhaps in the mining area of ??the [Ancient Spirits]! Tracy quickly kept this information in her heart, ready to find an opportunity to pass this information to Xia En. However, just as she was about to leave the camp. A high priest in the [Ancient Spirit Clan] wearing a special robe suddenly appeared in front of her. "Who are you? Why are you here?" The high priest''s eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Tracy. Tracy''s heart tightened, but she still tried to communicate with the other party with gestures. But this time. The high priest sneered: "Do you want to use this trick to deceive me?" "It''s useless, you have the aura of elf and humans on you!" "not good!" Realizing that she had been exposed, Tracy immediately spread her wings and prepared to escape. However, the high priest was faster. He raised his hand and waved it, and a chain formed by natural secret force instantly wrapped around Cuixi''s body. "Catch her! She is an enemy''s spy!" The high priest shouted loudly. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] around him immediately reacted and quickly surrounded Cuixi. Tracy struggled desperately, but the chains of natural secret forces firmly bound her, making her unable to escape. At this critical moment, a black void crack suddenly appeared beside Cuixi. Xia En''s figure jumped out of the crack, and the Void Blade in his hand suddenly slashed down, instantly cutting off the chain that bound Cuixi. Tracy said with some shame: "Captain Shane, sorry." "fine." Xia En shook his head: "I originally planned to flatten this camp." "It''s just that the order is different." "Besides, isn''t it a perfect infiltration to eliminate all witnesses?" As soon as Xia En finished speaking, the high priest of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] instantly turned gloomy. He obviously did not expect that the enemy would break into their camp so boldly. "Invader! Go and die!" The high priest shouted angrily and quickly formed seals with both hands. The runes on the altar suddenly lit up, and the rich natural secret power surged out like a tide. Several giant apes woke up and stood in front of Xia En and Tracy. "Captain Shane, be careful!" Trisy exclaimed. Xia En''s expression remained unchanged, and the Void Blade in his hand was slightly raised. The black secret power of void flowed on the blade, emitting heart-wrenching fluctuations. "I can''t stop me by a few giant apes." Before he finished speaking, Xia En''s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment. He had appeared behind a giant ape. The blade of void slashed past like a **** of death, and the giant ape''s body was instantly cut in half, turning into natural secret power and dissipating into the air. at the same time. Joey and others also joined the battlefield from outside the camp. (End of this chapter) Chapter 443 【Ancient Covenant】【Shadow of Heart-break Chapter 443 [Ancient Covenant] [Shadow of the Heart-breaking Apostle] On the battlefield. Xia En''s figure shuttled between the giant apes. Every time the blade of Void Blade swung a black void crack, tearing the giant ape''s body into pieces. His movements were precise and elegant, as if the **** of death had arrived, harvesting these war weapons condensed by the secret forces of nature. at the same time. Joey stood on the edge of the battlefield, lifted his staff and whispered an ancient spell. A blue light appeared all over her body. The water vapor in the air condenses rapidly and turns into torrents. Warriors and giant apes rushed towards the [Ancient Spirit Clan] like dragons. Wherever the torrent passed, the formation of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] was washed away. The giant ape was also bound by the current of water and became slow. only. Joey''s spell also exposed her location, and several [Ancient Spirits] immediately attacked her. "Carles, cover me!" Joey shouted loudly. "clear!" Carles'' voice came from the steam armor, her figure was like a moving fortress. Steam gushed out of the cracks in her armor, making a low roar. She raised her huge steam-powered gloves and slammed into the ground. The ground cracked instantly. Steam gushed out of the cracks, forming a hot steam barrier that blocked the offensive route of the [Ancient Spirits]. Immediately afterwards, her body shuttled through the forest like a ghost. Every time he takes action, several [Ancient Spirit Clan] will fall. Anze stood on the other side of the battlefield. She held a huge heavy sword in her hand, with a wide and thick body. It doesn''t look sharp, but it exudes a heavy sense of oppression. Her fighting style is simple and direct, and every time she swung her sword, she carried unrivaled power, as if she could split the mountain. The heavy sword has no edge, and the great trick is not crafty. An''s swordsmanship does not have any fancy skills, but is full of destructive power. However, her fighting style formed a strong contrast with her slender appearance. A [Ancient Spirit Clan] warrior tried to attack An from the side, but she easily noticed it. An suddenly turned around, sweeping the heavy sword, causing a strong wind. He directly knocked the soldier away several meters away, hitting him heavily on a big tree, losing his combat ability. "An, be careful behind you!" Tracy''s voice came from the air. Although she was saved by Shane, she did not leave the battlefield. Instead, use your flight ability to observe the battle situation in the air and remind your companions in time. When An heard the reminder, he quickly turned sideways and avoided a secret arrow that was attacking from behind. She looked up and looked in the direction where the arrow was flying. A [Ancient Spiritual Clan] archer was found standing on the treetops in the distance, preparing to attack again. "snort!" An snorted coldly, jumped up suddenly, raised his heavy sword over his head, and slashed hard at the archer. The archer obviously did not expect An to be so fast. Before he could react, he was hit by a heavy sword and fell from the treetops. At the same time. Xia En also traveled among the giant apes, harvesting the lives of these war weapons. "roar!" Another natural giant ape fell to the ground with the roar. Seeing this scene, the high priest of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] looked even more ugly. He slapped the altar and the runes on the altar lit up again. More natural secret forces were quickly extracted and condensed into a giant ape with a larger size. The aura of this giant ape is far beyond those before, and it has obviously reached the legendary level. Tracy reminded: "Captain Shane, that giant ape is not simple!" Xia En nodded, his eyes fixed on the legendary giant ape. He could feel that the power of this giant ape should not be underestimated, and even surpassed the big guy he had encountered before. But that wasn''t enough to get him back. "Come on, let me see your strength." Xia En whispered, his figure flashed, and rushed directly to the legendary giant ape. The giant ape roared, and its huge fist hit Xia En with a terrifying force. However. Xia En''s figure shuttled through the attack of the giant ape like a ghost. Every time the blade of Void leaves a deep wound on the giant ape. In the last battle, Xia En also understood the attack rules of this giant ape. After all, they are created existences, and their fighting styles seem a little rigid. "roar!" The giant ape roared in pain, waving his fists frantically, trying to hit Shane. Unfortunately, its attack could never reach Xia En''s slightest. "it''s over." Xia En said coldly, and the Void Blade in his hand suddenly expanded and turned into a huge black light blade. He jumped high, and the light blade slashed at the giant ape with the momentum of destruction. "die!" The light blade fell, the giant ape''s body was divided into two, and its huge body fell to the ground, turning into countless natural secret forces to dissipate. Seeing this, the high priest''s face turned pale instantly. He didn''t expect that the legendary giant ape he summoned was defeated so easily by Xia En. After the giant ape fell, the battle situation quickly tilted towards Xia En''s side. The camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] fell into chaos. The giant apes around the altar were wiped out by Shane and Joey. The warriors of the [Ancient Spirits] also retreated step by step under the fierce attack of Carles and An. "it''s over." After a moment, Xia En said coldly, pointing the Void Blade in his hand at the High Priest. The high priest gritted his teeth and waved the staff in his hand suddenly. A natural secret barrier formed in front of him, trying to block Xia En''s attack. However, Xia''s Void Blade easily penetrated the barrier and pointed directly into the high priest''s chest. "You...you invaders..." The high priest''s voice was filled with reluctance and anger: "Our king will avenge us!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was pierced by the blade of void. With the fall of the high priest, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] camp was completely in chaos. The remaining [Ancient Spiritual Clan] warriors fled one after another and disappeared into the dense forest. Xia En did not chase and kill these fleeing soldiers, but looked at the altar not far away. Only by destroying these altars can the [Ancient Spirits] be prevented from continuously creating war weapons condensed by natural secret forces. "Huh? These stones are..." Shane soon noticed the ore containing secret power on the altar. Cuixi flew to him and explained, "Yes, these are [Rhinestones], and the [Holy Stones] mentioned by the [Ancient Spirits]." "I heard before that they have their own mining areas and are mining a lot of these stones to make war weapons." Xia En nodded, his brows slightly frowned. "[Holy Stone]...It seems that they have other ways to use [Rhinestone]." Tracy continued, "Also, their perception of the elves seems to be something wrong." "They think the elves are brutal invaders who once slaughtered and expelled their ancestors." "This view is deeply rooted in their minds." Xia En pondered for a moment, and a little doubt flashed in his eyes: "This is indeed strange." "It''s understandable if you just think that the elves are invaders, but cruel..." "That''s something wrong." Just then. Eris stepped forward and said, "Can it be...their perceptions have been distorted?" "Just like the [City of Giant Trees] once." "Once the [City of Giant Trees]?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved. The [City of Giant Wood] where people live in was once dominated by the [Capital Wood God]. Let them accept the [Corruption Seed] as the [Life Seed]. The decaying appearance of the tree people is also hidden under the vivid appearance. If the memory and cognition of the [Ancient Spirits] are also distorted by some existence, this may happen. "It''s true that there is such a possibility." "However, it cannot be ruled out that the elves have really expelled the [Ancient Spirits]." Xia En thought about it and said, "I think it is necessary for me to go back to the [Elf Secret Realm] first to confirm the authenticity of this matter with Anqi." "But before that, we have to destroy this altar first." As he said that, Xia En walked to the center of the altar and raised the blade of void in his hand slightly. He took a deep breath, and the secret power of the void in his body began to surge, and the black energy flowed on the blade. With his low shout, the Void Blade suddenly slashed down. The black energy swept across the altar like a tide. "boom!" The runes on the altar instantly collapsed, and the [Rhinestone] turned into powder under the impact of the secret power of the void. Immediately afterwards, the entire altar began to collapse. The rich natural secret power spread everywhere, as if it had lost its support. With the destruction of the altar, the surrounding environment also changed. The originally depressed forest aura gradually dissipated, the light scattered again through the treetops, and the invisible pressure in the air disappeared. Xia En restrained the secret power of the void and turned around and said to everyone. "The altar has been destroyed, let''s go to the [Elf Secret Realm] first." "Yes, Captain Shane!" With the opening of [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. The group easily returned to the [Elf Secret Realm]. As soon as I entered the secret realm, a fresh natural breath came to my face. It is in sharp contrast to the feeling of depression in the forest of [Ancient Spirits]. Xia En did not delay and took everyone to the [Fountain of Life] where Anqi was. An Qi was standing next to [Fountain of Life], holding an emerald green staff in her hand, as if sensing something. Seeing Xia En and others rushing over, she was slightly stunned and then showed a gentle smile. "Captain Shane, why are you back so soon?" "Have you found the [Purification Stone]?" Xia En shook his head with a serious expression: "Not yet." "However, we found the [Ancient Spirits] camp in [Rhine Secret Land]." And learned some disturbing news. He briefly told An Qi about the hostile attitude of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] towards the elves and their description of the "brutal history" of the elves. After hearing this, Anqi frowned, and a trace of shock and confusion flashed in her eyes. "This is impossible!" Anqi shook her head firmly: "The elves have never carried out any form of slaughter or expulsion of the [Ancient Spirits]." "We have always advocated peace and coexisted with nature. How could we do that kind of cruel behavior?" Shane nodded, expressing his understanding: "I think there is something wrong with this, too." "But the attitude of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is very firm." "It seems...their history has been distorted by some kind of force." Angel pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head. "Wait, maybe I can prove the innocence of the elves." She turned and walked towards an ancient giant tree next to [Fourth of Life], and reached out and pressed it gently on the trunk. A circle of complex runes emerged on the surface of the tree trunk. Then it slowly cracked, revealing a hidden tree hole. Angel took out a yellowed bark scroll from the tree hole, which was engraved with ancient elf texts. "This is an oath signed between the elves and the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] in the ancient times." Angel handed the scroll to Xia En: "The above clearly records the agreement between the two sides not invading each other and jointly protecting nature." "The power of the vows remains to this day, which shows that the elves have never violated the vows." Shane took the scroll. Feel a gentle and powerful natural secret force emanating from the scroll. He unfolded the scroll, and solemnity and divine power rushed towards him. And the elf language on it is just as An Qi said. The power of the pledge does exist. Xia En nodded and said, "This shows that the elves have never taken hostile actions against the [Ancient Spirits]." "Then, the hostility of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] to the elves is likely to be caused by some kind of force to distort the memory." Angel sighed, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. If this is the case, the problem will be even more complicated. We must find the root cause of the distorted memory of the [Ancient Spirits], otherwise this war will be inevitable. Suddenly, Anqi thought of something. "Wait, Captain Shane, could it be... [Heart-breaking Apostle]?" Upon hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows. [Heart-breaking Apostle] is one of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] under the [Heart-breaking Apostle]. Judging from the previous fight with His minions, [Heartbreaker] has the ability to manipulate emotions and even thinking. Then, it is not impossible to distort the cognition and memory of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]! And, on the other hand. The appearance of [Black Sun Ship] shows that [Film Siming] is always trying to invade [Elf Secret Realm]. And just so happened that not long after the [Black Sun Flows in the Sky], the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] polluted the [Fourth of Life]. It''s not difficult to guess. Perhaps, long ago. [Heartbreaker] has begun to penetrate the [Rhine Secret Realm] and has distorted the memory and cognition of the [Ancient Spirits]. This distortion not only made the [Ancient Spirit Clan] extremely hostile to the Elves. It also made them distrust all outsiders, which triggered this upcoming war. Xia En pondered for a moment and said slowly. "If it was really a [Heartbreaker] manipulating behind the scenes, then things would be more complicated than we thought." "His purpose is obviously not just to provoke hatred between the [Ancient Spirits] and the Elves." "But I want to further weaken the power of the [Rhine Secret Realm] through this war and pave the way for the invasion of []." Just then. Tracy suddenly said, "Captain Shane, I think..." "The king of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] seems to have a problem!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 444 [King of Ancient Spirits] [Sage Yesai] Chapter 444 [King of Ancient Spirits] [Sage Ye Sai] "Um?" Hearing this, everyone looked at Tracy. Xia En asked in a deep voice: "Trishy, ??what did you find?" Tracy frowned, as if she was sorting out her thoughts, and then said. "In the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], I found that not all [Ancient Spirit Clan] naturally have great hostility towards the Elves." "Some people''s understanding of the so-called blood feud comes from the high priest of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." "Or the idea of ??having a deep hatred with the elves was instilled into the minds of ordinary people of the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] from the upper class of the [Ancient Spiritual Clan]." "Since that''s the case, that king of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is very suspicious." A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes. "You mean, the ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] may just be a puppet controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle], or even a clone of the [Heart-breaking Apostle]?" An Qi, who was standing beside him nodded in agreement. There is indeed such a possibility. "If the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has penetrated into the core of the [Ancient Spirits], then their ''king'' is likely to have been controlled or even replaced." "In this way, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has a reasonable explanation for the hostility and distorted historical understanding of the Elves." Shane nodded, If this is the case, we must act as soon as possible. "Not only do we need to find the [Purification Stone], but we also need to uncover the truth behind the [Ancient Spirits] and stop the conspiracy of the [Heart-Stealing Apostle]." However, judging from the attitude that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is showing now. [Rhine City] A big battle with them is still inevitable. Only after winning this battle can we try to live in peace with the [Ancient Spirits]. After confirming the key information to Angel. Xia En and his group did not continue to stay in the [Elf Secret Realm] and returned directly to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. As soon as everyone stepped past the light gate formed by the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], they found that the surrounding environment was different from before. "This is" Shane looked to the nearby ground. I saw that there were many fresh footprints on the ground, and the corpses of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in the previous battle also disappeared. Obviously, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] had been here when they left. These footprints are messy and dense, and are obviously not left by a few people. "It seems they have been to this camp before while we are away." Joey squatted down, carefully checking the traces on the ground, and whispered. Xia En nodded, looking in the direction of the footprints, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. These footprints may lead us to their core territory. "Since they came to us on their own initiative, we can''t miss this opportunity." However, the footprints became very weak before they went far. In addition to the complex environment of the forest, it is difficult to distinguish the traces left by the [Ancient Spirits] with the naked eye. Xia En had long anticipated this, and the power of [Seeing Secret Eyes] quietly opened. When he opened his eyes again, the world in his vision was different. The traces of breath left by the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] are like a clear belt of light, winding towards the depths of the forest. "Come on me." Shane whispered, then stepped forward and quickly moved in the direction of the trace. A group followed closely behind and walked through the dense forest. As they penetrated, the surrounding scene gradually changed. The trees became taller, the branches and leaves covered the sky, and the air was filled with a faint ore atmosphere. Scattered ore fragments began to appear on the ground, appearing grayish-white. "Are these... [Rhinestone] fragments?" Carles picked up a piece of ore and said after carefully examining it. "That''s right." Xia En nodded: "It seems... we are not far from the mining area of ??the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." Sure enough, not long after, they arrived at the entrance of a valley. On both sides of the valley are towering rock walls, covered with traces of mining. Obviously, this is the mining area of ??the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. There were low roars deep in the valley, as if some huge beast was breathing. Xia En raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and whispered. "Be careful, this may be the core area of ??the [Ancient Spirit Clan], and the guards must be very tight." With the help of the power of [Spying the Secret Eyes], he carefully observed the movements in the valley. I saw dozens of warriors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] were distributed in the valley. They were patrolling with weapons and vigilantly. And in the middle of the valley, a huge mine cave stands tall. The entrance of the mine cave emits a strong atmosphere of secret power, which obviously contains a large amount of [rhinite]. There is the place we are looking for. Xia En pointed to the mine and said, "[Purification Stone] is probably in it." "But how do we get in?" An frowned and said, "There are too many guards here. If you force yourself to break through, you may alarm the entire [Ancient Spirit Clan]." At this time, Joey next to him said, "Maybe...can you use teleportation spell?" "The guards at the entrance of the mine are tightly guarded, but it may not be the case inside." Shane nodded, agreeing with Joey''s proposal. "Teleling spells is indeed a good choice." However, we need to ensure the accuracy of the transmission, otherwise we may be in a more dangerous situation once it is sent to the wrong location. Joey smiled slightly and said confidently: "Leave it to me." "With my current ability, I can use the water vapor in the air as a medium to perceive the environment inside the mine and ensure the accuracy of the transmission." She closed her eyes, gently swung the staff in her hand, and the blue light once again appeared around her. The water vapor in the air condenses rapidly, forming tiny streams of water. Like invisible tentacles, it extends in the direction of the mine. Through these water flows, Joey senses the structure and the distribution of guards inside the mine. After a moment. Joey opened his eyes and whispered: "The space inside the mine is much larger than we thought, with the guards mainly concentrated on the entrance and several key passages." "We can teleport to a hidden corner deep in the mine where there are no guards for the time being." Shane nodded, "Okay, then let''s start." Joey raised his staff and whispered a spell to teleport the spell. Gradually, the blue light continued to expand, wrapping Xia En and his group in it. As the last syllable of the spell fell, everyone''s figures disappeared in an instant. The next moment. They appeared in a hidden corner deep in the mine. The surroundings were dark and wet, and only the scattered ore emitted a faint light. The air was filled with a strong breath of secret power. Obviously, there are a lot of [rhinites] hidden here. "We''re in." Joey said with a little excitement. Shane looked around and whispered. "Be careful. Although there are no guards here for the time being, there may be patrolling [Ancient Spirits] warriors passing by at any time." Everyone nodded and then began to move deeper along the mine passage. As they penetrated, the secret power in the mine became more and more intense, and even made people feel a little depressed. "There are amazing reserves of [rhinites] here." Carles whispered, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes: "No wonder [Ancient Spirits] can create so many war weapons." Xia En was also a little surprised. The total amount of Rhines in this mine is much higher than those they have discovered before. Obviously, there will also be [Rhinite Stone Essence] here, or even creatures formed by [Rhinite Stone Essence] like "Pull" are also present. Just then. Xia En raised his brow, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and whispered, "There is movement ahead." Everyone held their breath and listened carefully. Sure enough, a deep sound of footsteps came from the front. The conversation sounded with the warriors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "The high priest''s order, we must speed up the mining speed, the king can''t wait." A warrior whispered. Another warrior responded: "But the secret power deep in the mine is too strong. If you continue to go deeper, you may be in danger." "Don''t talk nonsense, the king''s orders are above everything else! Keep moving forward!" The footsteps gradually faded away, and Xia En and others breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that the ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is indeed urging them to speed up the mining." Joey whispered, This further confirms our guess. Xia En nodded: "Yes, we must find the [Purification Stone] as soon as possible and uncover the truth behind the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." The group continued to penetrate deeper along the mine tunnel, and the secret power around them became more and more intense, and there seemed to be an invisible pressure in the air. Suddenly, a riot came from the front, accompanied by fierce quarrels. "Exposed?" An asked in a low voice, clenching the heavy sword in his hand. Xia En raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. With the help of the power of [Spying the Secret Eye], he saw the scene ahead through the cracks in the rock wall. An old man in a gray-white robe was standing in front of a group of soldiers, waving his arms excitedly. His face was old and haggard, and his forehead was covered with deep wrinkles. The long silver-white hair was casually scattered on her shoulders, making her look a little unkempt. His eyes were particularly bright, exuding a scholarly wisdom and firmness. "We don''t have to go to war!" The old man''s voice was hoarse but powerful: "[The Rhine Secret Realm] is so vast that it is completely enough to accommodate the survival of different races! Why must war be solved?" "Ye Sai Xian, are you old and confused?" A warrior sneered, with a sarcastic tone: "The elves have slaughtered our ancestors, this is blood feud!" "How can you say such a thing?" "Blood feud?" Ye Sai''s voice was particularly confused: "I...I don''t remember any blood feud." "We moved out of the [Elf Secret Realm] purely out of our own will, not because of being expelled or slaughtered..." "Enough!" Another soldier interrupted him rudely: "We only say these words to you because of your past deeds." "The king''s order is clear, we must speed up the mining and prepare for the war." "If you stop it again, don''t blame us for being polite!" Ye Sai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else. But in the end, just lowered your arms weakly, and a trace of confusion and pain flashed in your eyes. The soldiers snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving Ye Sai standing alone. He whispered to himself, "Why...Why do I always feel something is wrong?" "Why do I have no impression of those so-called blood feuds?" "Is it really...Is it really me wrong?" Xia En and others hid in the dark and saw this scene in their eyes. "That old man... seems to be different from other [Ancient Spirits]." Joey whispered: "His perception does not seem to be completely distorted." "That''s right." Shane nodded: "He may be the key to us uncovering the truth." An asked, "Do you want to contact him?" "Yes." Xia En pondered for a moment: "But be careful not to make him hostile to us." After the warriors'' footsteps completely disappeared. Xia En walked out of the darkness and whispered, "Ye Sai Sage, we heard your conversation." Ye Sai suddenly turned around, looked at Xia En and his group vigilantly, and raised the staff in his hand slightly. "Who are you? Why are you here?" "We are not enemies." Xia En raised his hands and signaled that he had no malice: "I am the lord of [Rhine City], and came to find [Purification Stone]." "I heard you just now and I think you might be able to help us." "The city lord of [Rhine City]!?" A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Sai''s eyes, but was soon replaced by alertness. He held the staff tightly and his eyes swept over Xia En and his party, as if judging their purpose. "You... are really people from [Rhine City]?" Ye Sai''s voice was hesitant: "But why are you here?" "This is the forbidden place for our [Ancient Spirit Clan], and outsiders are not allowed to enter." Xia En nodded, his tone calm. "We are indeed from [Rhine City]. This time we came to find [Purification Stone] to solve the crisis in [Elf Secret Realm]." "We have no intention of being enemies with the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." But when I heard your conversation just now, it seems that you have some doubts about some decisions within the clan. Ye Sai''s expression relaxed slightly. The vigilance in the eyes is gradually replaced by a complex emotion. He was silent for a moment and whispered, "How much did you... hear?" "We have heard your doubts about the war and your confusion about the so-called ''blood feud''." Xia En looked straight into Ye Sai''s eyes and spoke sincerely: "We believe that you must have many questions in your heart." "Perhaps we can help you find the answer." Ye Sai''s eyes flashed for a moment, as if he was struggling violently inside. He slowly lowered his staff and sighed. "Can you... really help me find the truth?" We are willing to try. Shane said firmly, If you are willing to believe us. Ye Sai was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay...I believe in you." "But this is not a place to talk, come with me." He turned and walked towards a hidden passage deep in the mine, with Xia En and his group following him. The passage was winding and the surrounding rock walls were covered with glowing ore, emitting a faint light. The air is filled with a strong atmosphere of secret power, which makes people feel an invisible sense of oppression. After about ten minutes of walking. Ye Sai took them to a hidden stone chamber. (End of this chapter) Chapter 445 【Gargoyle】【Purification Stone】 Chapter 445 [Gargoyle] [Purification Stone] A stone table is placed in the middle of the stone chamber. The table was filled with ancient scrolls and books, and the surrounding walls were engraved with complex runes. This is my laboratory. Yesai whispered: "Only here can I avoid their surveillance and conduct some...unsubmitted research." Shane looked around, his eyes falling on the scrolls. "What are you studying?" Ye Sai walked to the stone table and picked up a yellowed scroll with a serious expression. Im studying our historyor, the history that is covered up. He unfolded the scroll, which was engraved with ancient [Ancient Spiritual Clan] words. Although Xia En couldn''t understand these words, he could feel the importance of these contents from Ye Sai''s expression. "These scrolls record the origins of our [Ancient Spirits] and their relationship with the Elves." Yesai whispered: "But strangely, these records are completely different from what we now think." "The scroll mentioned that we and the Elf were once allies, living together in the [Elf Secret Realm]." "However, the people of the tribe now believe that the elves are our enemies, and even believe that they have slaughtered our ancestors." Xia En nodded secretly. This is basically consistent with what they learned before. Shane asked, "Why do you think this happens?" Ye Sai shook his head, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "I don''t know either. But I suspect that this has something to do with our ''king''." "What do you mean is that the ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is controlling the memories of the tribe?" Xia En asked with a frown. Its not just about manipulating memory. Ye Sai whispered, "I suspect that our ''king''... may no longer be the original ''king''." An asked, "You mean, he was controlled by some kind of force?" Ye Sai nodded: "Yes." "About a few months ago, our ''king'' suddenly changed his temperament and began to promote hatred for the elves." "And ordered the large-scale mining of [rhinites] to create war weapons." "Since then, the memories of the tribe members seem to have gradually been distorted, and everyone firmly believes that the elves are our enemies." "How many months?" Xia En thought about it. This time node happened to be similar to the time he just obtained the [Empty Beast Heart]. "Perhaps, the [Heart-Striving Apostle] penetrated the [Ancient Spirit Clan] at that time." "Heart-breaking Apostle?" Ye Sai looked at Xia En in confusion: "What is that?" Xia En briefly told Yesai the origin and purpose of the [Heartbreaker]. After listening, Ye Sai''s face became even more serious. ġһġ "The evil god''s lackey from outside the world..." Although Yesai had never heard of these things before. But he is a sage of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] after all, and his acceptance of such things is far beyond that of ordinary tribe members. "If this is true, then our ''king'' is likely to have been controlled and even replaced by the [Heartbreaker]." Yesai whispered: "We must stop him, otherwise the entire [Rhine Secret Realm] will fall into disaster." We are willing to work with you. Xia En said solemnly: "But before this, we need to find the [Purification Stone]." "Do you know where it is?" "Purification Stone?" Ye Sai was stunned: "What an ancient name, you should mean the highest concentration of [Holy Stone], right?" Shane asked, "Do you know its specific location?" Ye Sai pondered for a moment and said slowly. "[Purification Stone] should be located at the deepest part of this mine, but it is also the most dangerous place in the entire mine." "The secret power concentration deep in the ore veins is extremely high, and ordinary people cannot bear it." "Even our warriors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] dare not approach them easily." "and" Yesai''s voice fell: "Since the ''king'' ordered the accelerated mining, the depths of the mine have been listed as a forbidden area and no one is allowed to enter." "I doubt that there may have been contaminated by the power of the [Heartbreaker]." Shane nodded with a serious expression: "Even so, we must take a chance." "Purification Stone is the key to our purificationSpring of Life, and we must get it no matter what." Ye Sai looked at Xia En''s firm eyes, and after a moment of silence, he finally made up his mind. "Okay, I''ll take you there." "But you must be mentally prepared, the dangers deep in the mine are far beyond your imagination." "We understand." Shane nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your help." Ye Sai waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "No need to thank me." "If it is true as you said, our ''king'' has been controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle]." "As the sage of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], I also have the responsibility to reveal the truth and save my tribe." After saying that, Ye Sai turned around and walked towards a corner of the stone chamber. Stretch your hand and press it gently on the wall. With a low roar, the wall slowly opened, revealing a hidden passage. This is a shortcut to the depths of the mine. Yesai explained: "We can avoid most of the guards and go directly into the core area of ??the ore vein." Xia En and his group followed Ye Sai into the passage. The light in the passage was dim and a strong ore atmosphere was filled with the air. As they continued to deepen, the concentration of secret forces around them gradually increased. It even makes people feel a little difficult to breathe. "The secret strength concentration here is too high." Joey whispered, his face pale: "Another people will lose their minds if they stay here for a long time." The secret power that is too abundant will bring burden to the extraordinary and even affect their spirit. Ye Sai nodded: "That''s right, so the depth of the mine has always been a forbidden area." "Even our [Ancient Spirit Clan] can only stay for a short period of time." Xia En felt the secret power in his body was restless, as if he was being pulled by the energy around him. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the fluctuations in his body, and whispered. "Everyone be careful and be alert." The group continued to move forward, and the passage gradually became narrow. Some strange patterns began to appear on the surrounding rock walls, like some kind of ancient runes. Ye Sai pointed to the patterns and said, "These are runes left by the ancestors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." "They are said to be able to suppress the violent secret forces in the ore veins." "But lately, the power of these runes seems to be declining." Xia En carefully observed the runes and found that their light was indeed much dimmer than before, and some runes had cracks. "It seems that the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] has begun to erode here." Shane whispered. Ye Sai''s face became even more serious: "We must speed up, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable once the secret power deep in the ore veins are out of control." Just then. A low roar suddenly came from the front, as if some huge creature was awakening. Everyone stopped immediately and looked forward vigilantly. "What is that?" An asked in a low voice, clenching the heavy sword in his hand. Xia En frowned, staring at the dim passage ahead. The low roar was getting closer and closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if a giant was approaching them. "Be careful, it may be a companion in the depths of the ore veins." Ye Sai whispered, lifting the staff in his hand slightly, ready to deal with emergencies at any time. Xia En nodded and signaled everyone to prepare for battle. A blue light appeared on Joey''s staff, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed, forming a water screen barrier. An Ze held the heavy sword tightly and stood at the front of the team, ready to welcome the upcoming enemy. As the footsteps grew closer, a huge figure gradually emerged from the darkness. It was a huge stone statue creature, with its whole body composed of [rhinite], exuding a strong breath of secret power. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! It is very similar to the "flying" of the silver-white stone pig that appeared in the beast tide. But at this moment. The stone monster''s eyes flashed with red light, as if controlled by some evil force. "It''s a gargoyle!" Yesai exclaimed: "This creature usually only moves deep in the mineral veins, how can it appear here?" Xia En''s eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] has penetrated into the depths of the ore veins, and even these companions are controlled." The gargoyle let out a low roar and rushed towards everyone. Although its movements are clumsy, it is extremely powerful, and every step makes the ground shake slightly. An met without hesitation, waved his heavy sword and slashed hard at the gargoyle''s legs with the sharp sound of the wind. "clang!" The heavy sword collided with the gargoyle''s stone body, making a loud metallic sound. The gargoyle''s body just shook slightly, but An took a few steps back by the shock recoil force. Xia En immediately saw the clues. On the surface of this gargoyle, there is a layer of invisible armor composed of secret forces. Those secret powers come from the [rhinite] that make up its body. Theoretically, as long as the secret power of these [Rhinestones] is not exhausted, this layer of secret power armor will always exist. However, in Xia En''s [Seeing Secret Eyes], he clearly saw the weakness of this gargoyle. Its core is in the chest! Xia En flashed without thinking. When he appeared again, the sword blade condensed from the [Void Secret Power] in his hand had already pierced the gargoyle''s chest. "Bang!" With a loud bang, the gargoyle''s chest was pierced by a heavy sword, and the energy core instantly shattered. The gargoyle let out a shrill roar, and its body began to disintegrate, eventually turning into a pile of gravel, scattered on the ground. Ye Sai glanced at Xia En in surprise. Although he guessed that Xia En and others could solve this gargoyle. But I didn''t expect it to be solved so easily. Almost instantly killed by Xia En! Ye Sai was secretly surprised: "Is this the strength of the city lord of [Rhine City]?" "If you are enemies of such an existence, I don''t know how many warriors will die at his hands." Thinking of this, Ye Sai became even more determined. We must never let the war between [Ancient Spirits] and [Rhine City] continue! Xia En withdrew the [Void Secret Power] in his hand, and his eyes were still vigilantly scanning the surroundings. Although the gargoyle has been solved, he knows that the danger deep in the mine is much more than that. "keep going." Shane whispered, with unquestionable firmness in his tone. Ye Sai nodded and led everyone to continue to go deeper along the passage. As they kept approaching the core area of ??the ore veins, the concentration of secret forces in the air became increasingly strong. It even makes people feel tingling pain on their skin. "The secret power here is almost saturated." Joey whispered, his face pale: "We must find the [Purification Stone] as soon as possible, otherwise our bodies may not be able to bear it." Xia En nodded and glanced across the rock walls around him. The ancient runes have almost completely lost their light, and cracks are everywhere, as if they will shatter at any time. Obviously, the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] is rapidly eroding here. At this moment, a strange light suddenly came from the front. Everyone accelerated their pace and passed through the last passage. The scene in front of them made them hold their breath in an instant. At the end of the mine is a huge natural cave. In the middle of the cave, a stone pillar composed of pure [rhinite] stands. At the top of the stone pillar, a gem with a soft light floated. That is exactly the [Purification Stone] they have been looking for. "That''s [Purification Stone]!" Ye Sai whispered, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes. However, just as they were about to step forward, countless pairs of red eyes suddenly lit up around the cave. Dozens of gargoyles slowly walked out of the shadows and surrounded the [Purification Stone]. "It seems that [Heartbreaker] had expected us to come here long ago." Xia En said in a deep voice, and the [secret power of void] continued to surge in his body. "Prepare for the fight!" An yelled softly, and the heavy sword was unsheathed again. A blue light appeared on Joey''s staff, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed, forming a water screen barrier. Ye Sai raised his staff and whispered an ancient spell, preparing to cast powerful secret techniques. Xia En took a deep breath and his eyes fixed on the gargoyles in front of him. The battle is about to break out. The gargoyles roared a low roar and rushed towards everyone. A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, his body was like lightning, and he rushed into the group of gargoyles in an instant. The [Void Secret Power] in his hand condensed into a sharp sword blade. Each wave brought out a wave of void, stabbing accurately at the core of the gargoyle. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With several loud noises, the core of several gargoyles were shattered by Xia En''s sword. The huge body instantly disintegrated and turned into gravel scattered on the ground. However, there are too many gargoyles, and even if Shane is fast, he cannot solve all enemies in a short time. An''s heavy sword swung like the wind, and every time he slashed, he forced the approaching gargoyle to retreat with a thunderous momentum. only. Gargoyles have extremely strong defenses. Although An''s attacks are fierce, they cannot easily break their core. Joey stood behind the team, the blue light on the staff flashing constantly. She controlled the water vapor in the air, forming water screen barriers to block the gargoyle''s attack. At the same time, she is also looking for opportunities to use water vapor to condense into ice blades and attack the weaknesses of the gargoyle. Just as everyone was fighting fiercely. In the dark corner, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened. (End of this chapter) Chapter 446 【Get the Purification Stone】【Ye Sap’s De Chapter 446 [Get the Purification Stone] [Ye Sais Determination] Scarlet eyes were hidden in the shadow of the cave, staring coldly at the battlefield. Its eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, with a chilling malice. As it looked, the secret power in the cave seemed to become more violent, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. Xia En keenly noticed this strange aura. While shaking the core of a gargoyle, he quickly scanned around to try to find the source of the evil force. "Be careful! Something is peeking at us in the dark!" Shane reminded in a low voice, with a strong sense of vigilance in his tone. Ye Sai also felt the unusual aura. His face became even more serious, and the staff in his hand trembled slightly, as if responding to some powerful threat. Theres there! Just as Yesai pointed at a corner of the cave. A deep laugh suddenly came from the shadow of the cave. The laughter was like coming from the depths of hell, with a creepy chill. "Hahaha... we met again..." With the laughter, a tall figure slowly walked out of the shadow. Its body is made of pure secret force, like a ball of black mist that is constantly twisting, only a pair of scarlet eyes can be clearly visible. Every eyeball carries a foul-hearted aura. Every step of it made the ground shake slightly, as if the entire cave was trembling at its appearance. This multi-eyed monster is exactly the same as the other end that Xia En and others encountered when they were polluted in the [Fourth of Life]! The family of [Heart-breaking Apostle] Xia En whispered, his eyes locking in the figure. He could sense that the multi-eyed monster that appeared at this time was stronger and more weird than the other end of the [Fountain of Life] at that time. Moreover, its intelligence level seems to have been improved to a certain extent. The laughter of the multi-eyed monster echoed in the cave, as if countless tiny bugs were crawling in their ears, making people shudder. "You... are so persistent..." Its voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the abyss, with a suffocating sense of oppression. "It''s a pity that your efforts... are destined to be futile..." The [Void Secret Power] in Xia En''s body kept surging, his eyes were like torches, and he responded coldly. "It''s not your final decision." The scarlet eyes of the multi-eyed monster narrowed slightly, as if looking at Xia En. "The Lord''s Enemy..." "Since that''s the case, let you die in regret and despair..." Before he finished speaking, the body of the multi-eyed monster suddenly expanded. The secret power of black fog spreads around like a tide. The remains of the gargoyles that had been shattered actually condensed again under the cover of black mist and turned into even larger stone monsters. "Be careful! It''s manipulating these gargoyles!" Ye Sai shouted and waved the staff in his hand quickly. An ancient rune flashed in the air, trying to resist the erosion of the black fog. However, the power of the black fog is far beyond his imagination. The rune lasted for only a moment and then shattered. Ye Sai''s face turned pale in an instant, and he was obviously subjected to a considerable backlash. "These gargoyles... are stronger than before!" An whispered, holding the heavy sword in his hand tightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Xia En didn''t say much, and flashed his body and rushed directly towards the multi-eyed monster. He knew that only by solving this source can the battle be completely ended. However, the polygonal monster seemed to have expected it. Its body suddenly twisted and turned into a black mist, easily avoiding Xia En''s attack. "Hahaha...Your speed...is not fast enough..." The voice of the multi-eyed monster rang in Shane''s ears, with a playful meaning. Xia En frowned, and was secretly alert. The speed and reaction power of this monster were far beyond his expectations. At the same time, the gargoyles strengthened by the black fog have launched fierce attacks on everyone. Their movements are faster and their power is even more terrifying than before. An''s heavy sword collided with the gargoyle''s huge fist, making a deafening sound. An was knocked back several steps by the huge impact force, and his arms were slightly numb. "These guys... are more than twice as powerful as before!" An said gritting his teeth, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. With the increase in the black fog, every gargoyle here has the strength above legends! On the other side. Joey''s water screen barrier was shaking under the gargoyle''s assault. She quickly changed her gestures, and the water vapor in the air condensed into countless ice blades, shooting towards the gargoyle''s weakness. However, the ice blades were swallowed by the black fog on their bodies as they approached the gargoyle and turned into nothing. "No! Their defense is too strong, my attacks won''t work!" Joey said anxiously, and fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. Ye Sai endured the discomfort inside his body, raised his staff again, and whispered an ancient spell. A dazzling light shot out from the top of the staff, hitting the body of the multi-eyed monster. However, the light was quickly swallowed when it touched the black fog. It was like a mud cow entering the sea, without any effect. "It''s useless...your struggle...it will only make me more happy..." The voice of the multi-eyed monster echoed in the cave, with a desperate mockery. Xia En''s eyes were tightly locked in the multi-eyed monster, and he quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind. He knew that it would be difficult to quickly defeat this enhanced monster with their current strength alone. Moreover, such a battle will undoubtedly attract the attention of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. If you can''t fight quickly, things will be in trouble when you fall into their siege. It must be found its weakness, orusing the power of the environment. At this moment, Xia En''s eyes fell on the [Purification Stone] in the middle of the cave. The gem still emits a soft light, as if it is out of place with the darkness around it. "Yesai!" Xia En suddenly shouted loudly: "Can [Purification Stone] purify these black fog?" Ye Sai was stunned for a moment, then a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. "Yes! The power of [Purification Stone] is enough to purify all filthy things!" "But we have to get close to it to activate its power!" Shane nodded and made a quick decision. "Ann, Joey, Carlress, you cover me!" "I''ll activate [Purification Stone]!" Ann, Joey and Carlress immediately understood Shane''s intentions and quickly adjusted the formation to stand in front of Shane. Opened up a path to [Purification Stone] for him. "Be careful!" An yelled softly, waved his heavy sword and forced a gargoyle to retreat. Blue light flashed on Joey''s staff, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed into an ice wall, temporarily blocking the gargoyle''s attack. Carles directly turned into steam armor and merged with Shane. Screaming Xia''s speed soared again. The multi-eyed monster obviously noticed Xia En''s intention and let out a low roar. The black mist-like body suddenly swelled, trying to stop Xia En''s progress. "Don''t think about it!" A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body burst out instantly. [Void Shuttle] suddenly activated, avoiding the black fog in front of him. A trace of anger flashed through the scarlet eyes of the multi-eyed monster. The black mist quickly condensed into several sharp tentacles and shot towards Xia En''s back. Carles'' steam core surged violently, spraying out white steam, purifying and destroying these tentacles. Out of trust in Carlress. Xia En didn''t look back at first and continued to rush towards [Purification Stone]. The roar of the multi-eyed monster echoed in the cave, and the black mist spread rapidly, trying to cover the entire cave. Seeing this, Ye Sai''s face became even more serious. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! He quickly raised his staff and whispered an ancient spell. As the spell chanted, the ancient runes around the cave suddenly lit up a faint light, as if responding to Yesai''s call. "Suppress evil spirits in the name of ancestors!" Ye Sai shouted softly, and the staff suddenly inserted into the ground. The light of the rune suddenly increased, forming an invisible barrier that temporarily blocked the spread of black fog. A trace of surprise flashed in the scarlet eyes of the multi-eyed monster. It was obvious that Yesui could activate these ancient runes. "You... dare to resist the will of the Lord..." Its voice was filled with anger, and the black mist quickly condensed, trying to break through the barrier of the runes. at the same time. Xia En had already rushed to the [Purification Stone]. He reached out his hand and gently touched the gem that emitted a soft light. Just as his fingers touched the [Purification Stone], a warm force instantly poured into his body. Xia En felt that the secret power in his body resonated with this power, and a strange change was faintly produced. "Activate it!" But this was, Yesai''s anxious voice came from a distance. Xia En did not hesitate and quickly injected the [Void Secret Power] in his body into the [Purification Stone]. With the injection of [Void Secret Power], the light of [Purification Stone] suddenly increased, as if a small sun was rising in the cave. The soft light spread rapidly, and wherever it went, the black mist melted like ice and snow. The multi-eyed monster let out a shrill roar, and its black fog-like body quickly collapsed under the light. "No...this is impossible..." Its voice was filled with a hint of horror, and its scarlet eyes were full of reluctance. However, the power of [Purification Stone] is unstoppable. The light quickly enveloped the entire cave, and all the black mist was purified in an instant. The gargoyles strengthened by the black fog also collapsed one after another, turning into ordinary gravel and scattered on the ground. The body of the multi-eyed monster gradually dissipated in the light and eventually disappeared. The cave has returned to peace, and only the light of [Purification Stone] is still flashing. Xia En breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew his hand, and felt that the [Secret Power of Void] in his body also calmed down. Successfully An whispered, with a hint of fatigue in his tone. Joey and Carlress also breathed a sigh of relief, with a gratifying smile on their faces. Ye Sai walked to Xia En''s side and looked at [Purification Stone] with complicated eyes. "I didn''t expect that the power of [Purification Stone] was so powerful..." He whispered, with a hint of emotion in his tone. Xia En nodded, his eyes still staying on the [Purification Stone]. "With it, we can purify the Fountain of Life." Ye Sai was silent for a moment and said slowly, "But the matter is not over yet." "The power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has penetrated into the core of the [Ancient Spirits], and our ''king'' is likely to be completely controlled." Xia En nodded, his eyes firm. The crisis has not been lifted. But now, we need to get out of here first. Ye Sai nodded and led everyone to quickly evacuate along the passage when he came. As they kept moving away from the depths of the mine, the concentration of secret power in the air gradually decreased, and everyone''s breathing became much easier. Just as they were about to walk out of the mine, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave. "What''s going on?" An looked behind him vigilantly and held the heavy sword in his hand tightly. Ye Sai''s face also became solemn. "Not good... the secret power deep in the ore veins has lost the suppression of [Purification Stone] and has begun to lose control!" Xia En frowned and made a quick decision. "Go away! This place may collapse at any time!" "Joey, use teleportation spell!" "Yes, Captain Shane!" Joey nodded, quickly raised his staff, and whispered a spell to teleport the spell. A blue light appeared at the top of the staff, and the secret force in the air began to fluctuate violently, forming a rotating portal. "Get in!" Joey said hurriedly, his face pale. Obviously, casting teleportation spells in this environment will be a huge burden on her. Xia En did not hesitate and took the lead in stepping into the portal. The others followed closely behind, and Yesai was the last to enter. Just as he stepped into the portal, a deafening roar came from the depths of the cave. The entire mine began to shake violently, and huge rocks fell from the top, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. The portal closed quickly after the Leaf Entry entered, and Joey''s staff also dimmed by excessive consumption. She gasped, her forehead covered in sweat, apparently exhausting most of her strength. And at this time. The group had arrived outside the valley again. Xia En and others stood outside the valley, looking at the collapsed mine cave in the distance, with smoke and dust rolling and roaring endlessly. The [Ancient Spiritual Clan] soldiers around were running in panic, obviously unprepared for this sudden disaster. We have to get out of here as soon as possible. Xia En whispered, his eyes swept across everyone: "[Purification Stone] has been obtained, and next we need to return to [Elf Secret Realm] and purify [Fourth of Life]." An nodded and held the heavy sword in his hand tightly. "No further ado, we have to hurry up." At this moment, Ye Sai suddenly spoke, "You go, I can''t leave with you." Xia En was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Ye Sai. "Ye Saixian, aren''t you going with us?" "The ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has been controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle], so it''s too dangerous for you to stay here." Ye Sai shook his head, his eyes firm and complicated. It is because of this that I have to stay. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "[Ancient Spirit Clan] is my tribe, and I can''t watch them be controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle]." "I have to stay and find ways to awaken their memories and reveal the truth." "This is...my mission!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 447 【Purify the Fountain of Life】【Leilas Me Chapter 447 [Purification of the Fountain of Life] [Leila''s Message] Ye Sai paused and glanced at Xia En and others. "I have to walk the next path myself." Shane was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I understand your decision." "But be careful, the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] is far more bizarre than we think." Ye Sai smiled slightly, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern, I will be careful." "The worst case is when we see each other again." "I have also become a puppet of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] and are forced to fight with you." "At that time, please ask you to help me get relief." Xia En fell silent and did not dissuade him anymore. He knew that Yesai''s determination was settled and any persuasion was futile. "Since that''s the case, let''s leave." Shane said solemnly: "I hope we can see you again." Ye Sai nodded and whispered: "Maybe there is still such a chance." At this time, Joey''s staff glowed in blue again. The secret force in the air began to fluctuate, and the portal slowly took shape. "Captain Shane, the portal is ready." Joey whispered. This is a portal that leads directly to [Rhine City] - because Joey knows the specific coordinates of [Rhine City], he can open such a portal. Xia En nodded and looked at Ye Sai for the last time: "Take care." Ye Sai smiled slightly and waved his hand: "So are you." Xia En and others stepped into the portal one by one, and their figures gradually disappeared into the blue light. Yesai stood there, watching them leave until the portal was completely closed, and only a faint wave of secret power remained in the air. He took a deep breath and turned toward the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. The collapse of the mine pitted the entire camp into chaos, and the soldiers ran around, shouting one after another. Ye Sai''s eyes swept across the panicked faces and sighed secretly in his heart. "Grandmen...how long have you been blinded?" He murmured in a low voice, then quickened his pace. He knew that he didn''t have much time left. The power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has penetrated into the core of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], and it may even have noticed an abnormality in the mine cave. He must find the tribe members who have not been fully controlled and awaken their memories before the [Heartbreaker] reacts. Ye Sai''s figure quickly disappeared into the chaotic crowd and walked towards the depths of the camp. at the same time. Xia En and others have returned to [Rhine City]. As soon as he returned to [Rhine City], Xia En saw Jane standing on the city wall, her eyes scanning around her with a torch. Her figure was slender in the afterglow of the setting sun, and her silver hair reflected a cold light. On the city wall. The tree people, dwarves and Yongyue people were busy deploying fortifications, and a tense and solemn atmosphere filled the air. "Feiya, you and the dwarf craftsmen check all the defense equipment to make sure every catapult, crossbow and artillery works properly!" Jane''s voice was clear and powerful, spreading throughout the city wall. "yes!" Feiya nodded and quickly took the dwarf craftsman to check. In [Rhine City], Shu people and Yongyue tribe are also transporting various equipment and materials to the outside of the city to build an outer line of defense. Looking at the busy [Rhine City], Xia En felt a little more secure. [Rhine City] After developing silently for so long, it naturally has extremely terrifying potential for war. And when this potential is called, it shows a shocking power. Soon, Jane on the wall noticed the return of Xia En and others. "Captain Shane, you''re back." Jane''s voice was still calm, but Shane could hear a hint of fatigue in her tone. Xia En said, "Thank you for your hard work." Jian shook his head slightly, his eyes still firm: "This is what I should do." "How is the situation with you?" Xia En nodded, and said calmly: "[Purification Stone] has been obtained. Next, we need to go to [Elf Secret Realm] as soon as possible to purify [Fountain of Life]." However, before this, I need to make sure the defense of [Rhine City] is stable enough. "After all, the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] has penetrated into the [Ancient Spirits], and they may launch an attack at any time." Jane''s eyes swept over the busy figure on the city wall, and her tone was firm. "Don''t worry, the fortifications of [Rhine City] have been basically completed." "The war potential of this city is beyond my expectations." "The cooperation between various races is very smooth, and the periphery defense line has been built." "Even if the [Ancient Spirit Clan] launches an attack, we have enough strength to resist." "That''s good." Xia En breathed a sigh of relief, and was impressed by Jane''s command ability. "By the way, where is Sha Jingjing? Why didn''t you see her?" Jian opened his mouth and explained, "Miss Saur has gone to retreat and made a breakthrough." "The only thing that [Rhine City] lacks now is the lack of high-end combat power." "But as long as Miss Saur and other Tree Man Elders successfully break through to the legendary realm, the situation will be very different." Shane nodded, Its true. "I hope she can make a smooth breakthrough." On the side, after hearing these words, Joey, Ann and Carlress also felt a sense of urgency in their hearts. Their strength is only a strait from the legend. But it was this slight difference that made them fall into a disadvantage when facing gargoyles. Thinking of this, Joey''s eyes flashed and she said. "Mr. Captain, I will also be in seclusion in [Rhine City] for a period of time." After spending so long with Joey, Shane naturally saw Joeys thoughts at a glance. He did not dissuade him, but said directly. "Okay, since you''ve decided, go." "But remember, be careful during the breakthrough process and don''t force yourself." "If you encounter any problems, please feel free to notify me." Joey nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Captain!" After saying that, Joey quickly left the city wall and walked towards the core area of ??[Rhine City]. Shane watched Joey leave, praying in her heart that she could make a smooth breakthrough. Jane walked to Shane and whispered. "Captain Shane, are you really relieved to let her go into seclusion at this time?" Shane smiled, his eyes firmly: "I believe in Joey." "And, the current [Rhine City] does need more legendary combat power." Jane nodded and said nothing. Her eyes swept over the busy figure on the city wall again, and her tone was calm. "Since that''s the case, let''s continue to strengthen our defense." "The attack of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] may come at any time, and we must plan the worst." Xia En nodded and said. "Jane, the defense of [Rhine City] will be left to you." "I need to go to the [Elf Secret Realm] to purify the [Fountain of Life] as soon as possible." Jian was slightly stunned, then nodded: "I understand." "Don''t worry, I''m here in Rhine." Xia En did not hesitate and directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and took the other crew members to the [Elf Secret Realm]. Not long. Xia En and others came to [Fountain of Life]. The spring water still emits a faint black mist, and the suffocating and filthy aura still lingers in the air. Angel stood beside Xia En: "Have you obtained the [Purification Stone]?" Shane nodded, Yes. As he said that, he took out the [Purification Stone] from his arms. This extremely high purity [rhinite] looks like a crystal clear gem. It emits a soft light, as if it is out of place with the darkness around it. Xia En took a deep breath and gently put the [Purification Stone] into the spring water. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Just as the [Purification Stone] touched the spring water, a strong light suddenly burst out. It''s like a small sun rising in the spring. The soft light spread rapidly, and wherever it went, the black mist melted like ice and snow. The filthy aura in the spring water is quickly purified, replaced by a fresh and pure vitality. The nearby elves couldn''t help but stare at the scene in shock. The black mist in the spring water gradually dissipated, and the originally turbid water surface became clear and transparent. It''s like a mirror reflecting the blue sky. The plants around the spring water also began to revive, and the withered branches and leaves regained their vitality. The flowers bloom in the light, emitting a faint fragrance. And the dark sun in the sky seemed to have undergone a slight change. Xia En also felt a little relaxed. It seemed as if a huge rock pressed on my heart had been removed. He looked down at the spring water and suddenly found a blurred phantom appearing in the spring water. It was a woman''s figure, with long hair like a waterfall and a beautiful face. "This is" Xia En couldn''t help but hold his breath. Of course he would not admit his mistake. The phantom that appeared in the spring was Laila! In fact, the reason why Xia En came to the [Elf Secret Realm] was originally to find the information left by Laila. Unexpectedly, her message would be in this [Fountain of Life]! "Leila..." Xia En whispered, and a complicated feeling surged in his heart. Leila''s phantom slowly opened her eyes, her eyes empty and distant, as if she had lost all her memories and emotions. Her voice was as if it came from a distant place, with a sense of illusion. "Shane...I''ve already gone to [The Secret Sea]..." "I have lost all my memories and emotions now..." "[The Blind God of Idiot] may create a brand new and strange me..." "But perhaps, with the help of An and Vivian, you can call back my lost past..." "Fountain of Lifecan reshape Vivian''s body..." "Instant Timecan lock my position" Leila''s voice gradually dissipated, and the phantom disappeared. Xia En stood there, unable to calm down for a long time. Just then. The power of [Fountain of Life] surged again, and a pure secret force poured into Xia En''s body. He felt that the [Void Secret Power] in his body resonated with this power, and a strange change was faintly produced. He looked down at the [Silent Time] in his hand and found that it had changed from the shape of a pocket watch to an exquisite compass. The pointer trembled slightly, as if pointing in a certain direction. "This is" Xia En looked at the compass in his hand in surprise, feeling vaguely in his heart that this might be the way to find her by Leila. at the same time. The secret power of [Fountain of Life] suddenly surged into An''s body. The extremely vigorous and vivid vitality, with the unique secret power of the elf, instilled into her body. An felt an unprecedented warmth and power surge in his body. The force was like a rushing river, washing away every meridian in her body, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort. Her breathing gradually became deeper and her heartbeat accelerated. It seemed as if the whole world became clear in her perception. Close your eyes and feel the flow of power. Her consciousness seemed to be pulled into a strange space, surrounded by an endless void, only she stood alone. In the void, countless tiny spots of light flashed around her, as bright as stars. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the light spots, and suddenly felt a powerful force pouring into her body. "Is this...the essence of secret power?" An murmured in a low voice, and a sense of enlightenment surged in his heart. She realized that these light spots were the concreteization of secret forces, and her body was resonating with them. Her consciousness gradually became immersed in it, as if it was integrated with the entire world. She felt that her soul was sublimating and the secret power in her body was constantly condensed. It''s like breaking through some invisible shackles. boom- The next moment. An unprecedented force poured into An''s body. Her body seemed to be wrapped in a warm light, the secret power in her body quickly condensed, and her breath suddenly increased. A golden light flashed in her eyes. The whole person seemed to be reborn and entered a new realm. soon. An slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still standing next to [Fountain of Life], but everything around him became different. The light in the spring water is even brighter, and the plants around it are full of vitality. Angel and the elves were looking at her with shocking eyes, as if they had seen some incredible existence. Its really similar Angel sighed softly. The An in front of her was almost the same as the indomitable girl in her memory. Although the other elves had never seen Leila, they all had an inexplicable feeling. Ann, who was promoted to the legend, was more like an elf queen than any of their elf queens! An felt the surging power in his body, and his heart was shocked and delighted. She looked down at her hands, as if she could feel every secret force flowing through her fingertips. She knew that she had broken through that shackle and entered the legendary realm. at the same time. Xia En also felt a secret force entering his body. Because of the effect of "captain''s majesty"! [Comprehensive quality: 8085! [Get the talent of crew member An: the source of life! "This is" Of course Xia En did not forget that the effect of [Captain''s Majesty] will also take effect on the crew. But before, the crew members were quite different from him, so it was difficult to provide him with any bonus. But at this time. An''s breakthrough in the legend has made Xia En benefit too. (End of this chapter) Chapter 448 [Secret Realm Channel] [Reappearance of Chapter 448 [Secret Realm Channel] [Reappearance of Defiled Secret Power] "call" Feeling the power in his body, Xia En breathed a long sigh. He realized something else at this moment. Since An''s breakthrough can bring him considerable benefits. So, when his other crew members break through to the legendary realm, will he usher in a leap-like improvement again? After a little imagination of that situation, Xia En turned his head and found An was staring at him. "Captain Shane..." An spoke softly, with a look of excitement and expectation on his face. Xia En smiled slightly and nodded. "Congratulations, yes." "You finally entered the legendary realm." An Cong [Duke Island] met him and experienced various tests and difficulties together, including several life and death crises. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a shared hardship. At this time, An finally broke through the legendary realm, which is indeed something to be happy about. Hearing Xia En''s words, a faint blush appeared on An''s face, and she lowered her head and said softly. "Thank you, Captain." I wouldnt have been able to get to this point without your guidance and support. Xia En shook his head, speaking firmly: "This is your own effort and talent." An took a deep breath: "I will continue to become stronger and protect you." Xia En smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "You''ve done a great job." Next, we need more strength to deal with the coming crisis. An nodded, his eyes firmly: "I will do my best." Just then. An Qi walked to An''s side, her eyes soft and complicated. She sighed softly, with a hint of expectation and earnestness in her tone. "An, when this crisis is over, are you willing to stay in the [Elf Secret Realm] and become our Elf Queen?" An Wei was stunned, obviously not expecting An Qi to make such a request. She glanced at Xia En subconsciously, then shook her head, her tone firm and gentle. "Anqi, thank you for your trust and invitation, but I can''t accept it." An Qi''s eyes flashed with disappointment, but she did not show too much emotion, just asked softly. "Why? You are the most suitable person." "Your blood, your strength, and even your temperament are so similar to our Queen." "You are born to belong here." An answered seriously: "I do have a special relationship with [Elf Secret Realm], and it makes me feel familiar and intimate here." But my destination is not here. "My captain, my companions, and my mission are all on the Black Swan." "I can''t leave them behind." Settling down, continuing, And, although Im a lot like Laila, Ill never be Laila. I have my own path to go. Xia En stood aside and listened silently to the conversation between the two. He was not surprised by Ann''s decision. No matter how similar Ann and Laila are, they have finally become two completely different individuals. Moreover, An did not grow up in the elves'' territory like Laila and was raised by the elves. Her sense of belonging to the elves is not that strong. This is why he refuses to become the queen of the elves. Angel was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, with a hint of regret in her tone. I understand your choice. "But if you change your mind in the future, the door to [Elf Secret Realm] will always be open to you." An nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Ms. Anqi." Anqi turned her head and looked at the [Fourth of Life] not far away. "Since [Spring of Life] has been purified, we can start to instill the spring water into the ritual to stabilize the barrier of the [Elf Secret Realm]." And at this time. Xia En thought of something. Since they have confirmed that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] migrated from the [Elf Secret Realm] to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. This means that there must be some kind of channel between the two [secret realms]. Can the rituals left by Laila transmit the power of protection from the [Elf Secret Realm] to the [Rhine Secret Realm], thereby preventing the pollution of the [Heart-breaking Apostle]? Or. Can the elves pass through this channel and support the [Rhine Secret Realm]? Thinking of this, Xia En immediately told An Qi his guess. After hearing these words, An Qi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Her eyes wandered back and forth between [Foot of Life] and Xia En, as if weighing the feasibility of this idea. "Your speculation is not unreasonable." Angel spoke slowly, her tone very cautious. "There is indeed some kind of ancient passage between [Elf Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]." "The rituals left by Queen Laila back then may not only be used to protect the [Elf Secret Realm], but may also hide the secrets connecting the two secret realms." She paused for a moment and continued. "However, the existence of such a channel and how to activate it are unknown." We need to carefully study the rituals left by Laila to determine whether it will be able to fulfill your vision. Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "Time is tight, we must act as soon as possible." "If the power of the [Elf Secret Realm] can be transmitted to the [Rhine Secret Realm] through the ritual." "It not only prevents the pollution of the [Heart-Striving Apostle], but also allows the power of the elves to support the defense of the [Rhine City]." Angel pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. "Okay, I will gather the elders and scholars of the clan to study the rituals left by Laila." "If we can really find clues to the channel, we will fully cooperate with your plan." Xia En smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your support, Anqi." This is crucial to us. Angel waved her hand and said, "You''re welcome, we have a common enemy." "It would be a good thing for us to completely resolve this threat with your power." She turned to look at An, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. "An, since you have rejected the proposal to become the Elf Queen." "Then I hope you can continue to exert your strength in the next action." "With your bloodline and talent, you may play a key role in the process of studying rituals." An nodded, speaking firmly: "I will do my best to help everyone." Xia En looked at An, then looked at An Qi, and felt relieved in her heart. He knew that although An Qi regretted An''s choice, she was still willing to cooperate for the overall situation. This is undoubtedly a good start. "So, let''s start now." Shane said, "Time waits for no one, and the threat of [Heart-breaking Apostle] may erupt at any time." Angel nodded and turned around and gave orders to the elves around her. "Call all elders and scholars immediately and go to the core area of ??the ritual." "We need to crack the secrets left by Queen Laila as soon as possible." The elves acted quickly, and the atmosphere of the entire [Elf Secret Realm] became tense and orderly. Xia En looked at the [Fourth of Life] beside him. He didn''t forget another message in Laila''s message [Fountain of Life] can reshape Vivian''s body! Now Vivian is not only in the [Eternal Coffin] in his soul state, but also falls into a deep sleep. And the power of [Fountain of Life] may nourish her damaged soul. Xia En took a deep breath and turned to look at An Qi. "Anqi, I need to use the power of [Fountain of Life] to reshape my body for my partner." An Qi was slightly stunned and nodded immediately. "The power of [Fountain of Life] can do this." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! However, the process of reshaping the body requires extremely fine control. "A little carelessness may lead to problems with the soul and the body." Shane nodded, speaking firmly: "I understand the risks, but this is our only chance." Angel was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will assist you." "However, before that, we need to ensure that the power of [Fountain of Life] is stable enough." "After all, the spring water that has just been purified may take some time to fully recover." Shane nodded, I understand. "We can start studying the ritual first, and wait until the power of [Fountain of Life] stabilizes before reshaping the body for Vivian." Angel smiled slightly, "This arrangement is reasonable." "So, let''s go to the core area of ??the ritual now." Then, the group quickly moved and advanced towards the core area of ??the [Elf Secret Realm]. Soon, Xia En and others came to the core area of ??the ritual. Here is an ancient altar, surrounded by complex runes and patterns, emitting a faint light. In the center of the altar, a huge emerald green crystal floats. The crystal seems to contain infinite secret power. Angel walked to the altar and whispered an ancient spell. As the spell chanted, the runes on the altar gradually lit up, and the secret power in the crystal began to surge. "This is the core of the ritual left by Queen Leila." Angel explained: "Through it, we can control the protective barrier of the [Elf Secret Realm] to a certain extent, and may even find a channel to the [Rhine Secret Realm]." Xia En nodded, staring at the crystal. "What do we need to do?" Angel pondered for a moment and said slowly: "First, we need to activate the core of the ritual, and then use it to sense the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "If there is indeed a passage between the two secret realms, the ritual should be able to capture its fluctuations." Shane nodded, Then lets start. Angel did not say much, but continued to chant the spell, waving the staff in her hand gently to guide the power of the ritual. As she moved, the rune light on the altar became stronger and stronger, and the secret power in the crystal began to fluctuate violently. Shane felt a powerful force surge around. It seemed as if the entire [Elf Secret Realm] was responding to the call of the ritual. At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in the crystal, and a blurry picture appeared. In the picture, you can vaguely see a land similar to [Elf Secret Realm] but different. A city that Xia En is extremely familiar with is standing on the earth. It is [Rhine City]! "Success!" Anqi''s voice was filled with excitement: "The ritual captured the fluctuations of the [Rhine Secret Realm]!" Xia En''s eyes stared at the picture, and a burst of excitement surged in his heart. "It seems that there is indeed a passage between the two secret realms." Angel nodded, "Yes, but this passage seems to be blocked by some kind of force." "We need to find a way to unlock it in order to transmit the power of the [Elf Secret Realm] over." Xia En pondered for a moment, then said, "Perhaps we can unlock the passage through the power of [Fountain of Life]." "Fountain of Life is the core of Elf Secret Realm, and its power should be able to penetrate the blockade." "By the way, you can also strengthen the barrier and let the scene of [Black Sun Flying in the Sky] disappear." Angel applauded: "Your idea makes sense." "We can try to inject the power of [Fountain of Life] into the ritual to see if we can unlock the passage." Shane nodded, "Then act as soon as possible." Angel did not hesitate and quickly led everyone back to [Fountain of Life]. At this time, the power of [Fountain of Life] has stabilized, and the light in the spring water is even brighter. Angel walked to the spring water and chanted a spell in a low voice, guiding the power of the spring water. As she moved, the light in the spring gradually condensed, forming a pillar of light that rushed straight into the sky. Then, the beam of light shot directly at the emerald green crystal in the altar. A moment later, the picture of [Rhine Secret Realm] appeared in the crystal again. This time, the picture is clearer, and you can even see the scene in [Rhine City]. The residents of all races in the city and the tall and gorgeous buildings are all visible. Seeing this, An Qi couldn''t help but show a surprised expression. "Is this...your [Rhine City]?" Xia En showed a little pride on his face. "That''s right." Angel exclaimed, What a beautiful city. "I can feel that the passage between the two [secret realms] is being unlocked!" However, at this moment, a black mist suddenly flashed in the picture. The black mist expanded rapidly, as if it was about to swallow the entire picture. "This is" Xia En''s expression changed. He immediately felt a familiar [filthy secret power] from this black mist. There is no doubt that this is the residual power of []! at the same time. [Elf Secret Realm] The dark sun in the sky became darker and deeper. The strange black light seemed to dye the remaining two suns black together. At the critical moment, An''s eyes suddenly froze. She felt that the familiar filthy force was trying to erode the [Elf Secret Realm] through the passage, and even threatened the safety of [Rhine City]. She took a step forward without hesitation, spreading her hands, and the secret power in her body resonated quickly with the power of [Fountain of Life]. "I''ll stop it!" An''s voice was firm and powerful, and her body was wrapped in a faint golden light, as if it was integrated with [Fountain of Life]. Her hands gently waved, and the light in the spring suddenly increased. It turned into a dazzling pillar of light and rushed straight into the sky. (End of this chapter) Chapter 449 【The battle starts】【The ancient spirit t Chapter 449 [The Battle End] [Test of the Ancient Spirit Clan] Over the ritual. The beam of light and the black mist collided violently in the void, making a harsh hissing sound. The black fog seemed to have life, and was frantically trying to devour the light column. But An''s power was like a sharp sword, tearing and purifying the black fog little by little. "An, be careful!" Xia En stood aside, staring at An''s figure, feeling both worried and relieved. He knew that at this time, An was no longer the crew member who needed his protection, but a true legendary strongman. An did not respond, and her whole mind was focused on the confrontation with the black mist. A fine bead of sweat oozed out of her forehead, but her eyes remained firm. She could feel that the filthy power contained in the black mist was trying to erode her will, but she would never retreat. Just then. In the Elf Temple, a mysterious halo gradually lit up on the statue belonging to Laila. The statue''s eyes slowly opened. The next moment. An suddenly realized that a new force was instilled into her body. "Leira, the other me, is this your backup plan for you to stay..." A complex emotion emerged in An''s heart. However, she did not waste such an opportunity. The secret power in the body suddenly burst out. The power of the light column instantly increased several times, like a golden torrent, completely submerging the black fog. The black fog let out a shrill roar, and then disappeared without a trace in the light. The dark sun in the sky also trembled slightly at this moment, as if it had been hit by some kind of impact. "Success!" Anqi''s voice was filled with excitement. She looked up at the sky and found that the color of the black sun was gradually fading, and the originally pitch-black light was replaced by a layer of soft gold. "An, you did it!" Xia En walked to An, with undisguised appreciation in his tone. An gasped slightly, with a tired smile on her face: "This is only temporary." "I can feel that the power of Black Sun has not completely disappeared, and [] may invade again at any time." Xia En nodded with a serious look. "Yes, as long as [] does not disappear, the crisis will not be eliminated." At this moment, the emerald green crystals on the altar suddenly emitted a strong light. The [Rhine City] in the picture becomes clear again. Angel quickly walked to the altar and carefully observed the changes in the picture. "The coordinates of the channel have been confirmed!" Angel excitedly said, "We can transmit the power of [Fourth of Life] to [Rhine Secret Realm] through the rituals, and completely purify the filthy power there!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Xia En''s eyes: "That''s great!" "In this way, we can not only protect [Rhine City], but also cut off the control of [Heart-breaking Apostle] over [Ancient Spirits]." Angel nodded, but her expression was still serious. However, this process requires extremely precise control. "A little carelessness may lead to an imbalance in the energy of the two secret realms and may even lead to catastrophic consequences." Xia En took a deep breath and his eyes were firm. We have to try anyway. An walked to Xia En''s side and whispered, "I will do my best to assist Anqi to ensure the stability of the ritual." Xia En nodded and patted An on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work." Angel did not say much and quickly began to guide the power of the ritual. Her hands gently brushed over the emerald green crystals, whispering ancient spells. As she moved, the secret power in the crystal began to fluctuate violently, and a dazzling light shot out from the crystal and rushed straight into the sky. At the same time, the power of [Foot of Life] is also guided into the ritual. The light in the spring water intertwined with the light of the crystal, forming a portal composed of light doors. But at this time. This portal is still unstable and cannot allow living things to pass through, so the power to transmit [Fountain of Life] is extremely barely enough. Angel frowned, and fine beads of sweat oozed out from her forehead. Her hands moved quickly on the emerald green crystals, as if playing a complex movement. As she moved, the light gate gradually stabilized, but it still seemed fragile. Not enough Angel murmured in a low voice, his tone a little anxious. Xia En stood aside, staring at the light gate. He could feel that the energy fluctuations coming from the light gate were extremely unstable. It seems like it may collapse at any time. "Anqi, what do I need to do?" Xia En asked in a deep voice. Angel did not look up and was still focused on the control of the ritual: "I need more power to stabilize the light gate." "An, can you continue to guide the power of [Fountain of Life]?" An nodded and walked to [Fountain of Life] without hesitation. Her hands gently touched the spring water, and the secret power in her body resonated quickly with the spring water. The light in the spring water increased again, turning into a dazzling column of light, rushing straight into the sky. "Captain Shane, I need your help." Anqi''s voice was urgency. "Your [Void Secret Power] can help me balance the energy fluctuations of the ritual." Xia En did not hesitate and quickly walked to Anqi''s side. He closed his eyes, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body was slowly released, resonating with the energy in the ritual. He could feel that the energy in the ritual was gradually stabilizing, and the fluctuations of the light gate were also weakening a lot. "Very good, keep going!" Anqi said happily. After a while, the light gate gradually stabilized. Angel said: "Although this passage has been temporarily stable, it may take some time to pass safely." Xia En was not anxious either, and nodded calmly and said, "I understand." And just then. An exclaimed as he pointed to a corner of the emerald green crystal that appeared in the picture. "Captain Shane, look there!" Xia En looked in the direction An pointed, and his face changed slightly. I saw that in the farther place of [Rhine City] displayed on the screen, one tall giant apes appeared. Their bodies are composed of secret forces, emitting an extraordinary aura, like weapons born for war. And in the forest, there are a large number of beasts, as if driven by some kind of force. They gradually gathered into small-scale beast tides and rushed towards the direction of [Rhine City]. "Is it the [Ancient Spirit Clan]?" Xia En''s expression was solemn, and he murmured, "Have they taken action?" "But, how could it be so fast?" According to Xia En''s original expectations, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] shouldn''t have launched an attack so quickly. "Wait, is it because..." Xia En soon thought of their previous riots in the [Ancient Spirits] mining area and the actions of snatching away the [Purification Stone]. Perhaps, it was precisely because their behavior angered the [Ancient Spirit Clan] that the other party provoked the war in advance. Xia En frowned, and quickly weighed the current situation in his heart. He turned to look at An Qi and An, with a quick tone but still calm. "The [Ancient Spirit Clan]''s attack was much earlier than we expected, and we must take action immediately." An Qi nodded with a firm look. "I will continue to stabilize the passage and ensure that the power of [Fountain of Life] can be transmitted smoothly to [Rhine Secret Realm]." "You will return to [Rhine City] as soon as possible and organize defense." Shane did not hesitate and made a decision quickly. "An, you stay here to assist Angel and ensure the stability of the passage." "I and the others immediately return to [Rhine City] and prepare for the fight." Although An was a little reluctant, she knew that the situation was not hesitant. She nodded, and said firmly: "I will do my best to assist Angel to ensure the safety of the passage." "You must be careful." Shane patted her on the shoulder and smiled. "Don''t worry, we won''t let the [Ancient Spirit Clan] succeed." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! After saying that, Xia En turned around and looked at the other crew members, speaking decisively. "We will return to [Rhine City] immediately and prepare for the fight!" The crew responded in unison: "Yes, Captain Shane!" Xia En quickly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and took the crew back to [Rhine City] through the portal. When Xia En and others returned to [Rhine City], the atmosphere in the city was already extremely tense. The fortifications on the city walls have all been in place. The tree people, dwarves and the Yongyue tribe were on guard and stared at the forest in the distance. Jane stood on the city wall with a torch-like gaze, commanding the soldiers of all races to deploy defenses. "Feiya, make sure all trenchers and crossbows are in their best condition!" "Dwarf craftsman, check every defense node in the city wall to make sure there are no loopholes!" "The Yongyue tribe members are ready to use guns to fight the enemies in the air!" Jane''s voice was clear and powerful, spreading throughout the city wall. Xia En quickly walked to Jane''s side and said in a deep voice. "The [Ancient Spirit Clan] attack was earlier than we expected, and they had already assembled outside the city." Jane nodded, her eyes still calm: "I''ve seen it." "Their giant apes and beast tide is approaching and an attack is expected to be launched soon." Xia En''s eyes swept over the fortifications on the city wall, and he felt a little relieved. The fortifications of [Rhine City] have been basically completed, and warriors of all races have also been ready for battle. Moreover, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] launched an offensive in advance. From another perspective, they may not be fully prepared. At this time, the small number of giant apes and the tide of beasts mixed in it are proof of this. "Jane, you did a great job." Xia En said sincerely. Jian shook his head slightly, his tone still calm: "This is what I should do." "Now, we need to formulate a detailed combat plan to deal with the attack of the [Ancient Spirits]." Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "That''s right. We must ensure the safety of [Rhine City] while minimizing casualties as much as possible." At this moment, a rapid alarm came from the watchtower on the city wall. "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Shane and Jane quickly walked to the edge of the city wall, looking at the forest in the distance. I saw a large number of giant apes and beasts gushing out from the forest. The giant apes waved their huge fists, and the beasts roared and rushed towards the [Rhine City], and the whole earth trembled under their steps. But soon. Shane and Jane both discovered one thing. That is, although there are many giant apes and beast tides, they are much less than they expected. It was even less than the last beast tide. Xia En and Jane looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other''s eyes. "Sure enough, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] was not ready either." Shane said, "Perhaps this is just their tentative attack, and the real threat is still behind." Jane pondered for a moment, then said, "We cannot take it lightly anyway." "Even if this is just a test, we must do our best and not give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of." Shane nodded in agreement: "You''re right." We have to plan for the worst. He turned around and looked at the soldiers of all races on the city wall and gave a loud order. "Everyone, prepare for the fight!" "Cattaggers, crossbows, and magic power heavy cannons aim at the giant ape, and the gunman is ready to shoot the enemies in the air!" With Xiaen''s orders, the soldiers on the walls acted quickly. The sound of catapults and crossbows sounded, and stones, shells and sharp crossbow arrows were loaded, aiming at the giant ape in the distance. The magic power heavy cannon has also entered the charging state. The gunmen held the weapons in their hands and stared at the sky, ready to deal with possible flying enemies. Xia En''s eyes swept across the city wall again, and he prayed secretly in his heart. "I hope our defense can withstand this wave of attack." Just then. The giant ape and beast tide in the distance have approached the defense line of [Rhine City]. The giant apes let out a deafening roar, and the sound of the beasts'' hooves shocked the earth like thunder. "Let''s fire!" With Xia En''s order, several cannons on the city walls rang in unison. Rumble Huge stones, sharp crossbow arrows and hot energy shells poured down like rain, instantly covering the giant apes and beast tide in front of them. The giant apes roared in pain, and the beasts fell in the cannon fire, and the blood stained the earth red. However, these giant apes and beasts seemed not afraid of death and still charged forward frantically. "Continue attacking!" "Don''t give them any chance to breathe!" Xia En''s voice sounded again, with unquestionable firmness in his tone. The soldiers on the city wall did not hesitate at all, quickly loaded ammunition and launched another attack. And at the same time. An extremely large giant ape in the beast tide let out a shocking roar. As soon as it stepped on the ground, the earth kept collapsing, it jumped high and smashed towards the [Rhine City] like a meteorite. Xia En could tell at a glance that this giant ape had legendary power! If it is allowed to fall into the city, it will undoubtedly cause great casualties to the residents in the city. "It must be stopped!" "Magic energy heavy artillery... prepare!" Following Shane''s orders. The magic energy heavy cannon on the top of the city accumulated energy again, and then a terrifying purple light column was shot out. However, just as this pillar of light was about to hit the giant ape. A black mist spread all over the giant ape. The fog blocked the attack of the light column like a barrier, leaving it without any damage. Seeing this, Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly. "Have the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] penetrated into these giant apes?" The original giant ape was condensed from the secret power of nature and did not have this filthy characteristic. But now, they have obviously changed a little. Xia En''s thoughts flashed through his mind, and then, without hesitation, rushed towards the giant ape falling from the sky. (End of this chapter) Chapter 450 【Fight to defend the city】 Chapter 450 [The Battle of Defending the City] In the air. Xia En''s figure was like a pitch-black lightning, instantly rushing towards the giant ape that was falling from the sky. In his body, the secret power of the void surged wildly, turning into the armor of the [Big Dark Sky], wrapping up his whole body. His eyes were tightly locked at the giant ape, and there was only one thought in his mind You must never let this giant ape fall into the city! "drink!" Xia En shouted softly, his hands suddenly opened, and the secret power of the void condensed into two sharp black blades in his palm. His figure drew a graceful arc in the air and stabbed straight into the giant ape''s chest. The giant ape seemed to notice Xia En''s threat, let out a deafening roar, and swung his fists suddenly, smashing towards Xia En with violent force. However, Shane is faster. His figure flashed flexibly in the air, easily avoiding the attack of the giant ape. "Swish!" The long black blade slashed across the giant ape''s chest, bringing a black mist. The giant ape let out a painful roar, and its body stumbled slightly in the air, but soon returned to balance. Its eyes turned scarlet and the black mist around it became even more intense, as if it was about to completely swallow Xia En. "Sure enough, the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has eroded its body..." Xia En was secretly shocked, but he did not retreat. He knew that he had to deal with the giant ape as soon as possible, otherwise the residents in the city would face a huge threat. "Come again!" Xia En''s figure flashed again, and the secret power of the void surged wildly in his body. His speed is faster than before and his attack is even more fierce. The long black blade drew deep lights in the air. Each wave brings up a black mist. Although the giant ape is powerful, under Xia En''s flexible attack, it gradually seems powerless. Its body was cut by Xia En''s long blade. The black mist kept overflowing from the wound, and the secret power kept passing away. It seems that its vitality is being pulled away little by little. "The last blow!" A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, and the secret power of the void in his body burst out instantly. His figure flashed like thunder and stabbed straight to the head of the giant ape. "Puff!" The silver long blade accurately pierced the giant ape''s eyebrows. Black mist gushed out of its head in an instant. The giant ape let out a shrill roar, and its body trembled violently in the air, and then it hit the ground outside the city heavily. "boom!" The giant ape''s body hit the ground, stirring up a piece of dust. Its body gradually disintegrates, turning into fine secret forces, and eventually dissipates in the air. However, Shane noticed that there was a little black mist left where the giant ape disappeared. It''s like the residual [filthy secret power]. "Um?" Xia En raised his brows and vaguely noticed something abnormal. However, his attention did not stop on it. Because he knew that the battle was not over yet. "Captain Shane!" Jane''s voice came from the city wall, with a little anxiety. Xia En looked up and found that the tide of beasts in the distance did not stop because of the death of the giant ape, but instead rushed towards [Rhine City] even more crazily. Not only that. In the forest in the distance, there was also an ancient and mysterious sound of flute sound. Immediately afterwards. The giant apes in the legendary realm of the beast tide seem to be driven by some kind of force and become more violent and ferocious. Their eyes were scarlet and their bodies were filled with thick black mist, as if they were completely controlled by the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle]. These giant apes no longer charge blindly like before. Instead, they began to disperse in an organized manner, trying to break through the defense line of [Rhine City] from multiple directions. "The situation is not good!" Xia En''s heart sank and quickly returned to the city wall to meet with Jian. Jian''s face was also solemn: "Those flute sounds should be the means of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] controlling the beast tide." "It''s the same as the last beast tide." Xia En nodded, swept his eyes over the fortifications on the city wall, and made a quick judgment. We have to adjust our defense strategies and not let them find a breakthrough. He turned around and whispered to the warriors of all races on the city wall: "All artillery and weapons concentrate their firepower and give priority to attacking the legendary giant apes!" "The gunman is careful in the air to prevent raids from flying enemies!" "Dwarf craftsman, strengthen the weakness of the wall immediately!" With Xiaen''s orders, the soldiers on the walls acted quickly. The sound of the catapult and the crossbows sounded again. Stones, shells and sharp crossbow arrows poured down like rain, heading straight for the legendary giant apes. However, these giant apes are obviously more difficult to deal with than the ordinary giant apes before. Their black mist barrier can withstand most attacks and can recover quickly even if hit. Xia En couldn''t help but feel nervous when he saw this scene. "These giant apes have too strong defenses, and ordinary attacks have limited effects on them." Jian said with a serious expression. "Although they only have the physical qualities of legends, they do not have the laws of legends." "But only legendary lethality can be used to deal with them." Xia En turned his head and looked at the people on the city wall and gave a decisive order. "All secret paths with legendary combat power should take all their strength!" "Yes, Lord Xiaen!" The first move was the bronze dragon wearing a bronze crown - String Ge Maya. Her figure rose from the city wall like a hot meteor, with dragon wings spreading, and flames burning around her. There was a dark golden light in her eyes, as if it contained endless anger. roar! ! The roar of the string song rang through the sky like thunder. She suddenly opened the dragon''s mouth and spit out a hot dragon breath. The flames swept down like a torrent, instantly swallowing a legendary giant ape and a beast tide. The giant ape let out a shrill roar, and the black mist around him quickly evaporated in the flames. Its body was burned black and eventually turned into a pile of ashes. However, the other giant apes were not scared away, but rushed towards the city wall even more violently. At this moment, Feiya''s figure appeared on the other side of the city wall. He held a huge steam gun in his hand, and hot steam gushed out of the barrel, making a deafening roar. "Try this!" Feiya sneered and pulled the trigger, and a huge metal shell shot out from the gun. The shells drew a hot trajectory in the air and headed straight to the chest of a legendary giant ape. The giant ape tried to resist with black mist. But the impact of the shell was too strong, and it instantly penetrated its defense and directly hit its chest. The giant ape''s body shook violently and took several steps back. But such injuries are not enough to completely kill it. Just the next moment. A dark yellow arrow seemed to have traveled through space and hit the giant ape''s eyebrows accurately. The black mist instantly dissipated under the impact of the arrow. The giant ape''s body stiffened for a moment, then slowly fell down and turned into a ball of black dust. "Miss Sa, you''re doing a pretty job!" Feiya exclaimed. I saw Sha Jingjing standing on the high place on the city wall, holding a bow and arrow flashing with cold light. The fatal arrow just now came from her hands. On the other side of the city wall, the tree man elder Iris walked towards a legendary giant ape that was hitting the city wall with heavy steps. His body was like a moving mountain, and every step made the earth tremble slightly. Iris''s voice was low and powerful, as if it had come from ancient times. "You cannot violate my home!" Eris stretched out his huge branch arm and slapped at the giant ape. The giant ape was not willing to be outdone and waved its huge fist to fight. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! The collision between the two was like two mountains colliding, making a deafening roar. Eris''s branch arm was trembling slightly by the power of the giant ape, but instead of retreating, he increased his strength. "boom!" Eris''s branch arm suddenly exerted force, pressing down the giant ape''s fist. The giant ape''s body was bent by a huge force. Black mist kept spilling out of its body. Eris took the opportunity to grab the giant ape''s shoulder with his other arm, lifted it up suddenly, and then smashed it hard towards the ground. "Bang!" The giant ape''s body hit the ground, stirring up a piece of dust. Eris gave it no chance to breathe, lifted his huge soles and stomped it down. The giant ape''s body completely disintegrated at Iris'' feet, turning into a black mist that dissipated into the air. Eris slowly withdrew his soles and glanced at the battlefield coldly. His body was like an unshakable mountain, standing in front of the city wall, building a solid barrier for the [Rhine City]. However, the battle did not end. In the forest in the distance, the sound of the flute still echoed, directing the attack of the beast tide. Although the legendary giant apes were temporarily repelled, more beasts and giant apes were surging out from the depths of the forest, as if endless. Shane stood on the city wall with a serious look. He knew that relying solely on the fortifications on the city wall and the power of several legendary powerhouses, it would be difficult to withstand such an attack for a long time. "We must find a way to cut off the control of the beast tide by the [Ancient Spirit Clan]!" Shane whispered. Jane nodded, her eyes turning to the forest in the distance: "Those flutes are the key." "If we could find the [Ancient Spirits] who play the flute, we might be able to disrupt their offensive." Xia En pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered: "Fiya, Sha Jingjing, you stay on the wall to continue defending." "Stand Song, Eris, you are responsible for cleaning up the giant apes and beasts near the walls." "Jane, I''ll leave the task to you." Jane nodded, her eyes firm. "Don''t worry, I will make sure the city walls are safe to defend." Xia En took a deep breath, his eyes turned to the forest in the distance, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "I will go to the forest myself to find the [Ancient Spirits] who play the flute sound and cut off their control over the beast tide." Jane frowned slightly and said with some concern: "Shane, the forest is full of dangers, it is too dangerous for you to go alone." Shane shook his head, speaking firmly: "Time is tight, we have no other choice." And, only I can find and solve them in the shortest time. Jane was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. "Be careful, we will guard the walls and wait for you to come back." Xia En smiled, "Don''t worry, I''ll be back as soon as possible." After saying that, Xia En''s figure flashed, and he used [Void Shuttle] one after another to gallop towards the forest in the distance. In the forest, the trees are tall and dense. The light is blocked by dense branches and leaves, making it look particularly dim. Xia En''s figure shuttled through the trees quickly. He opened his vision of [Spying the Secret Eyes] and carefully searched for the source of the flute sound. As he penetrated into the forest, the sound of the flute became clearer and clearer, as if it was not far away. Xia En''s pace gradually slowed down. His eyes swept around with vigilance, and the secret power of the void in his body quietly surged, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a huge ancient tree. The trunks of the ancient tree are carved with complex runes, emitting a faint light. And among the branches of the ancient tree, you can vaguely see several figures. Holding the flute in his hand, playing the strange sound of the flute. "Finished!" A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, his figure flashed, and he quickly approached the ancient tree. However, just as he was about to approach the ancient tree. The trees around suddenly shook violently, and several tall giant apes rushed out of the shadow and blocked Xia En''s presence. The eyes of these giant apes were scarlet and thick black mist was filled with all their bodies. They were obviously completely controlled by the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle]. "As a result, there is an ambush..." Xia En snorted coldly, and the secret power of the void in his body burst out instantly. His figure flashed like a ghost, quickly avoiding the attack of the giant ape. The long black blade in his hand drew deep lights and headed straight to the vital points of the giant ape. "Swish! Swish! Swish!" The long black blade drew several cold lights in the air, instantly slitting the throats of several giant apes. The giant ape let out a painful roar and fell heavily to the ground. The black mist overflowed from their wounds and gradually dissipated. However, more giant apes surged out from all around, surrounding Shane. Xia En''s eyes were cold, the long blade in his hand was tightly squeezing, and the secret power of the void in his body surged wildly. He knew that he had to break through the siege of these giant apes as soon as possible. Otherwise, once it is dragged down, the defense on the city wall will face greater pressure. "I don''t have time to get entangled with you!" Xia En shouted softly, and the secret power of the void in his body suddenly burst out. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and he used [Void Shuttle] again to head straight for the [Ancient Spirit Clan] on the ancient tree. "Stop him!" On the ancient tree, a member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] shouted loudly. However, Xia En''s speed was too fast, and the giant apes had no time to react. His figure had already jumped onto the branches of the ancient tree, and the long black blade in his hand pointed directly at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] who played the sound of the flute. "it''s over!" Xia En''s voice was cold and the long blade suddenly pierced. The member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] suddenly shrank his pupils and tried to avoid it, but it was too late. "Puff!" The long black blade pierced into his chest accurately, and the sound of the flute stopped abruptly. The member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] let out a shrill scream. His body fell from the ancient tree and fell heavily to the ground. Seeing this, several other members of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] stopped playing and looked at Xia En in horror. "You...you dare..." A member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] said tremblingly, his eyes full of fear. Xia En looked at them coldly, and his tone was cold: "That''s the end!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 451 【A golden rain】 Chapter 451 [A Golden Rain] Just finished speaking. Xia En''s figure flashed again, and the long blade in his hand was like the sickle of the **** of death, quickly reaping the lives of these [Ancient Spirit Clan]. After a moment, all the members of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] on the ancient tree fell down and the sound of the flute completely disappeared. As the sound of the flute stopped, the giant apes and beasts in the forest gradually returned to peace. Some beasts woke up like dreams and hurriedly retreated back to the forest. The surging beast tide was suddenly in full swing. And the giant apes seemed to have lost their command, not only began to fight on their own, but their offensive also became chaotic. Xia En stood on the ancient tree and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had successfully cut off the control of the beast tide of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], and the pressure on the city wall would be greatly reduced. However, he did not relax his vigilance. Because he knew that the threat of the [Heartbreaker] had not been completely eliminated, and the real crisis might have just begun. "We must return to the wall as soon as possible and prepare for the next battle." Xia En''s figure flashed and quickly galloped towards the direction of [Rhine City]. Above the city wall, Jane and everyone had noticed the changes in the forest. The beast tide gradually receded, the giant apes'' offensive became weaker, and the pressure on the city wall suddenly eased. "Shane succeeded!" A hint of joy flashed in Jane''s eyes, but she quickly returned to calm. She knew that it wasn''t time to relax. In fact, even the attack of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] itself may be just a test. Not long. Xia En''s figure quickly returned to the city of [Rhine City] like a black lightning. His breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife. Sha Jingjing immediately came up with concern in her eyes. "Shane, are you okay?" Sha Jingjing''s voice was a little nervous, and her eyes quickly swept across his body to confirm whether he was injured. Xia En shook his head and showed a faint smile. "I''m fine, I just consumed some secret power." "I have solved the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in the forest, and the offensive of the beast tide should be weakened a lot." Sa Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It''s time to clean up the remaining guys." After Shane returned to [Rhine City], he immediately began to organize the cleaning of the remaining enemies nearby. Xiange, Feiya and the soldiers in the city took action one after another. The string song unfolded the huge dragon wings and rose into the air. The fiery dragon breath poured down like a rain of fire, burning all the giant apes and beasts that were still wandering near the city wall. Her dragon roar shook the sky and the earth, shocking the remaining enemies and forcing them to retreat one after another. Feiya stood at a high place in the city wall, and the steam guns in her hand kept spitting out hot shells. Each shell hit the target accurately and shattered the giant apes trying to get close to the city wall. His eyes were cold and his movements were neat. Like a ruthless war machine. Sha Jingjing stood on the other side of the city wall, and the bow and arrow in her hand were like the staring of the **** of death. Every time the string is pulled, a dark yellow arrow flew out, accurately hitting the enemy''s key points. Her arrows are not only fast, but also contain powerful secret power. It can easily penetrate the black mist barrier of beasts and hit their core. Shane stood on the wall, his eyes swept across the battlefield, confirming that the remaining enemies could no longer pose a threat. But soon Jane walked to him and reminded. "Captain Shane, the corpses of the giant apes and beasts... seem to be something wrong." Xia En followed Jane''s gaze toward the city wall. I saw a faint black mist filled the bodies of the fallen giant apes and beasts. These mists seemed to have life, slowly penetrated into the ground and even began to spread into the air. Dirty Secret Power Xia En murmured in a low voice, his eyes gradually becoming solemn. He jumped gently and came around the corpses. Then, Xia En reached out and touched the ground, feeling a cold and evil force that was seeping out of the soil. The black mist seemed to be eroding everything around, and even the air became turbid. "These [filthy secret forces] are polluting soil and air." Shane stood up, his tone heavy. "If left unchecked, the surrounding environment around [Rhine City] will be completely corrupted and may even affect the residents in the city." Jane''s face also became ugly: "No wonder [Heartbreaker] will control the [Ancient Spirits] to launch this attack." "Their purpose is not just to break through [Rhine City]." "I also want to spread the [filthy secret power] on this land through the death of the beast tide." Xia En nodded, glanced at everyone on the city wall and said in a deep voice. "We must clean up these [filthy secret forces] as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." He turned around and whispered to the soldiers on the city wall: "Attention everyone!" "Cleaning the corpses of giant apes and beasts under the city wall immediately, be careful of the black mist!" "The secret path uses secret power to purify it, and others burn it with flames. Never allow the [filthy secret power] to continue to spread!" With Xiaen''s orders, the soldiers on the walls acted quickly. The secret paths all used their own secret techniques to purify the black mist. The flames ignited under the city walls, and the corpses of the beast gradually turned into ashes in the flames. However, those [filthy secret powers] seem to be more stubborn than they imagined. Even under the burning of flames, they still adhere tenaciously to the soil and even began to spread further away. "Ordinary flames and secret techniques have limited effects on these [filthy secret powers]." Jane frowned and said, "We need a stronger purification method." And at this time. Xia En thought of the passage between [Elf Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]. The previous [Purification Stone] has been used on the [Fourth of Life] in the [Elf Secret Realm]. If the secret power of [Fountain of Life] can be transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm] through that channel. Perhaps it can purify these [filthy secret powers]. Xia En quickly made a decision and turned to Jane and said. "I need to return to the [Elf Secret Realm] immediately and use the power of [Fountain of Life] to purify these [Defiled Secret Powers]." "You continue to command here to ensure the safety of the city walls." Jane nodded, her eyes firm. "Don''t worry, I will keep here and you will come back as soon as possible." Xia En didn''t say much, quickly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. [Elf Secret Realm]. An Qi and An are still working hard to maintain the stability of the ritual. The energy fluctuations in the light gate have become much more stable than before, and no longer appear in an illusory state. A fine bead of sweat oozed from Angel''s forehead, her hands moved quickly on the emerald green crystals, and she whispered an ancient spell. Anze stands beside the [Fountain of Life]. Touch the spring water gently with both hands, and the secret power in the body resonates with the spring water, guiding the power of the spring water into the ritual. At this moment, Xia En''s figure suddenly appeared beside them. "Captain Shane!" An Qi and An exclaimed at the same time, a little surprise flashing in their eyes. Xia En didn''t have time to explain too much, so he said directly. "There is a new situation on the battlefield of [Rhine City]." "[The Secret Power of Dirt] is polluting the land and the air, and we need to purify them with the power of [Fountain of Life]." Anqi immediately understood Xia En''s intention, and she nodded in a hurry. "I understand. I will adjust the ritual immediately and transmit the power of [Fountain of Life] to [Rhine Secret Realm]." Shane nodded: "The faster the better, the time is tight." Angel did not say much and quickly began to adjust the ritual. Her hands moved quickly over the emerald crystals, whispering more complex spells. As she moved, the energy fluctuations in the light gate gradually increased. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! A brilliant light shot out from the crystal and rushed straight into the sky. "An, continue to guide the power of [Fountain of Life] to ensure the stability of energy transmission." Anqi''s voice was filled with a hint of urgency. An nodded, touching the spring water with his hands again, and the secret power in his body resonated quickly with the spring water. The light in the spring water increased again, like a trickle of water flowing into the light gate. Shane stood aside, staring at the energy fluctuations in the light gate. He could feel that the power of [Fountain of Life] was gradually transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm] through the rituals. "Success!" Angel said happily. Her hands were still moving quickly on the emerald green crystals to ensure the stability of the ritual. "The power of [Fountain of Life] has been successfully transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm]." "Then you only need to guide this force to purify those [filthy secret powers]." Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "Ms. Angel, you continue to maintain the stability of the ritual." "I will return to [Rhine City] and guide the power of [Fountain of Life] to purify it." Angel frowned slightly, her tone of concern. "Captain Shane, although the power of [Fountain of Life] is powerful." But its purification process can cause severe energy fluctuations, and you need to be careful. Xia En smiled confidently: "Don''t worry, I will act cautiously." After saying that, he activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] again and shuttled back to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. On the wall of [Rhine City], Jane and everyone were still nervously clearing the corpses of giant apes and beasts under the wall. Although the warriors have tried their best, those [filthy secret forces] are still stubbornly attached to the soil. It even began to spread deeper. Jane''s face was solemn. She knew that relying solemnly on their power alone, she might not be able to completely remove these [filthy secret powers]. At this moment, Xia En''s figure suddenly appeared on the city wall. "Shane!" A hint of joy flashed in Jane''s eyes and she quickly walked to him: "How is the situation?" Xia En nodded, his tone calm. "The power of [Fountain of Life] has been successfully transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm]." "Next I will guide this force to purify these [filthy secret powers]." Jane breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with expectations. "That''s great, we finally have a way to deal with these [defiled secret powers]." Xia En didn''t say much, quickly walked to the edge of the city wall and swept across the battlefield below. He could feel that the power of [Fountain of Life] had gradually come to the sky above [Rhine City] through the rituals. As the Lord of Rhine, no one can perceive this external power more clearly than him. "Let''s get started." Xia En murmured in a low voice, and the secret power in his body surged quietly. Resonate with that invisible force. His hands slowly raised, his palms facing upward, as if he was holding some invisible power. As he moved, a faint golden light gradually emerged from the air. These lights slowly fall from the air like tiny light spots, sprinkling on the land polluted by the [filthy secret power]. The whole scene seemed like a grand, golden rain that came to the territory of Rhine City. "Buzz" The moment the golden light spot touched the black mist, it made a slight buzzing sound. Immediately afterwards, the black mist quickly began to dissipate as if it had encountered a natural enemy. "efficient!" Jane''s eyes flashed with joy. She could clearly feel that the air around her was gradually becoming fresh. Xia En did not stop and continued to guide the power of [Fountain of Life]. There were more and more golden light spots, gradually forming a golden rain of light covering the entire battlefield. The soil polluted by [Defiled Secret Power] gradually returned to its original color under the baptism of light and rain. The black mist was completely purified, and a fresh breath filled the air. The soldiers on the city wall also felt this power, stopped their movements, and looked up at the sky. "Is this the power of [Fountain of Life]?" Sha Jingjing murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of shock. She could feel that this power not only purifies the [filthy secret power]. It also made her body feel warm, as if even her fatigue was swept away. Even the secret power in the sand crystal body has been slightly enhanced. The aura that was already close to legend has improved a little further. "I...I broke through!" In the city, the warriors of the [Yongyue Clan] couldn''t help but exclaimed a joyful cry. And there is more than one such voice! These soldiers had already experienced a hard battle and were baptized by the [Fountain of Life] at this moment. The secret power was replenished and naturally broke through the original rank. It is foreseeable. After this battle, the comprehensive combat power of the [Rhine City] soldiers will usher in a considerable improvement. Shane stood on the city wall, his eyes swept across the battlefield below, and he felt a little relieved. The power of [Fountain of Life] is indeed powerful. It not only successfully purified the [Defiled Secret Power], but also greatly improved the warriors in the city. Although the battle was difficult, the result was unexpectedly good. "Shane, you did it!" Jane walked to him and sighed. Xia En smiled slightly, with a little tiredness in his tone. "This is everyone''s credit." "Without your persistence, this battle would not be possible." Jane shook her head, her eyes firmly: "No, it was you who led us through this crisis." "If it weren''t for you, [Rhine City] would have fallen long ago." Xia En didn''t say anything more, just looked into the depths of the forest. He knew that this battle came to an end for the time being. But the threat of [Heartbreaker] has not been completely lifted. They must be prepared as soon as possible to meet the greater challenges that may come. (End of this chapter) Chapter 203 Surrender or die! (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly) Chapter 203 Surrender or die! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Center of the battlefield. The first apostle Moss did not know what the gray cloud and the one-sided mirror man said about him, nor did he know about the changes coming from below the island. He has devoted all his body and mind to this battle. ?? Moss could feel that as he fought with Benjamin again and again, his body temperature was getting colder, and his heartbeat and blood flow were becoming slower and slower. There are even countless tiny ice crystals seeping out from his blood vessels and muscles. But this does not mean that his combat power is weakening. Just the opposite. After the body''s temperature dropped sharply and ice crystallized, the total amount of secret power in Moss''s body continued to increase. Not only that, his control over the secret power of ice also increased step by step, eventually reaching a level he had never imagined. ?Under the biting cold, Benjamin''s movements were a little slow, and some wounds were made by ice edges and ice blades! Moss is proud enough to be able to push Benjamin to this point! At least there are only a few apostles and pirates in the field who can do this. ?However, this kind of power beyond one''s own limits naturally does not come without a price. ? Moss knew very well that his vitality was constantly weakening, and in the end, he might completely turn into an eternal piece of ice. Even so, he still squeezed out the secret power in his body without hesitation. This is his mission and responsibility as the first apostle! At this time. Benjamin, who had always been silent, sighed softly: "Moss, among the pirates I have ever seen, you are indeed one of the best." In terms of qualifications, you are actually not much worse than Augustine. If I give you another ten years, you might really be able to defeat me. "But now...seeing that your character is very suitable for me, I ask you again, are you willing to surrender?" ?? Moss did not speak, but the sneer on his face already showed his determination. at the same time. ?In the palm of Moss''s hand, an icy blue light suddenly lit up. ?In just two seconds, countless light points turned into a light belt condensed by ice crystals, and then shot towards Benjamin with a bang! Wherever the ice crystal streamer passes, the space is shattered one after another, and the violent secret power is continuously extracted, causing the ice crystal streamer''s power to increase rapidly. When it came to Benjamin''s chest, it was so powerful that it could almost collapse the entire palace. The pirates were in a trance when they saw the ice crystals flowing. ?They didnt expect Moss to actually hide such a killer move! At this moment, everyone was staring blankly at the dazzling and dreamy ice crystal flow, unable to resist and not knowing how to resist. Facing such a killing move, Benjamin''s expression remained unchanged and he raised his right hand. In his hand, endless starlight suddenly bloomed. ?Different from Mosss icy blue light spots, the starlight in Benjamins palm seemed to come from the unreachable galaxy of the universe, or from the dark [secret sea] under the sea. In the squirm of light and shadow, it seemed as if a giant beast made of stars roared out of his palm. Immediately afterwards, the starlight beast opened its big mouth and swallowed the icy stream of light into it. With a "chi" sound, the body of the starlight beast was frozen, and the cold light penetrated the beast and went straight to Benjamin''s palm. Can be in the next moment. Another starlight beast was born out of thin air. Swallow the flowing light exactly the same, and turn it into broken ice crystals exactly the same. Only this time, the brilliance of the cold stream of light was weakened a bit visibly to the naked eye. Immediately afterwards, another starlight beast actually appeared... In the eyes of everyone, although the momentum of the icy stream of light is ferocious, it can only destroy those starlight beasts, but cannot truly get close to Benjamin''s body. It seems that...even the physical distance in space is distorted by the starlight. or ??The cold light can never reach the truth that hurt Benjamin! Looking at this scene, the man in the white coat thought to himself: "This first apostle Moss''s [Extreme Cold Beam] has been used to its peak." Coupled with this method of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging oneself by eight thousand, I am afraid that no one else present will be able to follow this secret technique. Its a pity...he happened to meet Benjamin. ??As an observer of this promotion ritual, Bai Daguao has a deep understanding of the abilities of each projected character in the copy. Because of this, he understood Benjamin''s power better. The secret technique this man masters can communicate with the secret power of the stars! The stars in the sky are not only the anchor of the world, but also the reflection of the [Secret Sea] in the sky. Since ancient times, the stars have contained mysterious power, which is also what the gods desire. Ordinary [astrologers] only have a glimpse of the mystery of the stars, and they have the possibility of insight into the future. One can imagine the magic and mystery of the secret power of the stars. And legend has it that in real history, Benjamin once pulled down a huge meteorite and directly destroyed a city. In fact, White Coat himself did not want to face Benjamin in his heyday. ?However, in the projection of this historical slice, the situation is different. Compared with this battle, which has already been decided, what worries the white coat more is... The aura of a certain secret power surging below [Ten Thousand Ships Island]. "The intensity of this aura...is almost approaching the upper limit set by this ritual?" Could it be Augustine? ??White coat also sensed that this breath was quickly approaching the surface. Furthermore, the secret power around the island has also undergone some subtle changes. The only person who can do this seems to be the legendary pirate king. Is he coming? ?Except for the white coats, everyone in the palace was focused on the battle between Benjamin and Moss. ?Benjamin weakened the icy stream of light again and again, but the starlight pouring out of his hands seemed to be endless. Finally, after being swallowed up by the giant starlight beast again, the icy stream of light lost most of its power and dissipated. With a "click" sound. A crack appeared in the ice on Moss''s body, and bluish blood flowed from his mouth and nose. This stream of light is already his last secret technique. ?The streamer was destroyed, which once again depleted Moss''s little remaining vitality. ?His vision was a little blurry and blackened in bursts, but he used his last strength to look at other battlefields around him. ?In the sky, the battle between Fenghou and Tiffany continues. ??Although the blonde woman had a few more wounds on her body, Feng Hou was not in good condition either. There were a few bruises on her face, so the two sides were still at an even balance. Available below. The King of the East and the King of the West completely suppressed the four apostles. After the King of the West roared angrily, the ax in his hand struck one of the apostles, almost splitting him in half with one blow. The four apostles were already below, but one of them was seriously injured, greatly accelerating their defeat. ?Outside the palace, Nana was hit in the waist and abdomen by the Mad King, and pale golden blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of her mouth. ?Her figure swayed, and she had to hold on to a wooden board next to her to steady herself. ?Around and beneath the two men, there were large craters and debris that had been destroyed by violence. The surrounding buildings were reduced to ruins, as if two ferocious beasts had wreaked havoc here. Nana, it seems that I am stronger now! ?Mad King Crowe grinned, the red hair dancing all over his body adding a bit of madness. The battlefield between Basil and the traitor Tucker was even more tense. ??Due to the venom in Tucker''s body, Basil didn''t dare to get too close. Tucker was happy to stall for time, waiting for Benjamin and Moss to decide the winner on the main battlefield. Are wegoing to lose? After seeing the situation around him clearly, Moss sighed deeply in his heart: "I''m sorry, Lord Augustine, I failed to fulfill my promise..." Moss, you are a worthy enemy. ?Benjamin said as he walked towards Moss who was lying on the ground. "So, I decided to kill you with my own hands - this is the highest respect I have for a warrior." Speaking, Benjamin raised his head, and many starlights flowed out of his palms and turned into a long sword. ?? Moss closed his eyes silently, waiting for death to come. But at this moment. ?Benjamin suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky higher through the dome of the palace, which had a large hole ripped through it. For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on his face. ?Not only Benjamin, but everyone present noticed the change in the sky. I dont know which pirate was the first to exclaim. Its, its dark! Just as this person said, the sky, which was clear just now, turned dark in the blink of an eye. ??The light that should have been projected on this [Ten Thousand Ships Island] seemed to be absorbed by some existence. Darkness surged up like a tide. ?This situation is somewhat similar to the situation when [Emerald Island] encountered [Wrath of God]. Some pirates tried to light torches to light up the surrounding area. ??Only the light from the torch was extremely dim, and the visibility was extremely low. ?This undoubtedly caused a wave of massive commotion and unrest. Not to mention the pirates in the palace, the entire residents of [Ten Thousand Ships Island] were frightened by the sudden darkness. In the sky. ?Fenghou and Tiffany stopped at the same time and looked up at the sky. Fenghou frowned, and the ominous premonition in her heart became more and more intense. Whats going on? "Is it a secret technique? But the scope it covers is so large?" Not far away, Tiffanys eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking. Crazy King Crow, who was about to pursue the victory against Nana, suddenly stopped, with a gloomy expression on his face. Augustine took action!? But this breath doesnt seem to be him. But if it werent for Augustine, who else could perform such a secret skill? Crow was extremely afraid of Augustine. That was because he had personally challenged the pirate king, and he understood the strength of that man better. So powerful that... now Crowe no longer dares to think of challenging him. Beside, a somewhat embarrassed Nana twitched her delicate little nose, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in surprise. Its him whos back! Besides, he has become much stronger than before! This kind of breath smells so good..." In the darkness around her, Nana seemed to be surrounded by that person''s breath, and her pretty face couldn''t help but turn a little rosy. At the same time, Nana also had a bold idea and said to herself. Grandma said that the stronger the child is, the stronger the child will be. It just so happens that he also has the blood of the ancient dragon in his body, which can strengthen our half-dragon population. Grandma also said that when you meet a man you like, you have to take action as soon as possible! "When the promotion ceremony is over, I have to invite him to mate! He shouldn''t refuse, right?" Of course Crowe didnt know what Nana was thinking, but he was even more surprised when he heard the two sentences that Nana blurted out. Whos back? Is it really Augustine who can surprise this half-dragon like this? ?Thinking of this, Mad King had the urge to escape as soon as possible. On another battlefield. ?Feeling the disappearing light all around, King Dong and King Xi were secretly frightened, but the movements of their hands did not stop at all. No matter what, kill the four apostles in front of you first, and the situation will turn to their side! At this moment. A voice suddenly sounded in the hearts of all the people shrouded in darkness. I am John Smith, the twelfth apostle. To all the rebels on the island, I only give you two choices. Surrender, or die! Hearing this voice, everyone was startled at first, and then their first reaction was confusion. John Smith? The twelfth apostle? Who is this? Compared with the four kings of the sea, the first apostle, and Benjamin of the Royal Navy, the name of the twelfth apostle is really not resounding. So much so that many pirates have never heard of this famous figure. ?Dong Wang paused for a moment and couldn''t help but sneered. Who do you think you are? In the end, he is just an apostle ranked last, and he still dares to say such big words? Let me kill these apostles first, and then Ill get rid of you! Before he finished speaking, he was about to pierce the throat of the seriously injured apostle with a sword. But suddenly, a faint sigh sounded in his ears. In that case, lets start with you. A **** hand quietly stretched out from behind King Dong and pulled him into the darkness. "What!?" The words of King Dong stopped abruptly. What followed was the sound of flesh being cut one after another. The strange thing is that these sounds actually sounded in everyone''s ears very clearly. Then, there was the dying cry of begging. How is it possible...what kind of monster are you? I dont want to die simultaneously! Finally, the sound of blood splattering sounded, representing the death of the king. Is this the voice of King Dong? Is he already dead? How long has it been!? It was less than ten seconds from the sound of "John Smith" to the death of King Dong. ?This kind of speed really makes everyone feel unbelievable. ?That is King Dong, one of the four kings! How could he die so quickly? Soon, everyone present realized that the darkness around them... seemed to have become thicker! (End of this chapter) Chapter 204 【Great Dark Sky! 】 Chapter 204 [Great Dark Sky! Wanchuan Island. ?The darkness was as thick as substance, covering the crowd silently, even causing ripples like water waves. ?Among all the people present, the one who was most frightened was King Xi among the four kings. Just ten seconds ago, he was fighting side by side with King Dong, preparing to kill the four apostles. But in the blink of an eye, King Dongs begging for mercy and screams came from the darkness. Then, the darkness around him returned to silence, and even the sounds of other pirates disappeared from his ears. ?This strange silence gave King Xi a strong sense of uneasiness. Whats going on? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? Could it be that... King Dong is really dead? King Xi still didnt want to believe this: No, its impossible! "It must be just an auditory hallucination created by that guy. There is no way King Dong will be defeated so quickly!" He looked into the thick darkness around him, trying to find the figure of King Dong or other pirates. Its just that being in this darkness, not only the vision is greatly hindered, but also the senses such as smell and hearing are also greatly affected. Its almost like ?This darkness was releasing pure malice towards him continuously and without reservation. Where are the others? Why cant you even see a pirate? ? King Xis heart was beating fast and his breathing was a little tight. ??This feeling of being alone in the darkness was really terrible! By the way, light! As long as there is light, darkness can be dispelled. An idea flashed in King Xi''s mind, and he immediately activated his secret power and poured it into the ax in his hand. Immediately, a bright yellow light gradually lit up on the big ax, making the weapon heavier and more indestructible. ??The secret power mastered by this pirate King of the West is related to mountains. Once it is blessed on weapons or the body, it will be as thick and solid as mountains. Feeling the ax tightly held in his hand, King Xi gradually calmed down, and a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. ??It seems that as long as you have this big ax in your hand, you can cut through any enemy! Dont look down on me as one of the five kings of the sea! Boy, come out and die! ?At the same time as he roared, King Xi also saw that not far away from the bright yellow light, a dark and uncertain figure was watching him silently. Got you! ?The King of the West laughed ferociously, holding a big ax in his hand, and struck the man in the direction of his head! ?This time the chop was powerful and heavy, causing a dull sound of wind, as if the entire mountain was smashed down! However, when King Xis ax fell on the figure, there was no feeling of hitting the entity. ??The big ax seemed to have penetrated a shadow and directly hit the ground with a bang. ?Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the ground surface, and the ground seemed to be shaken, which shows the terrifying power of this slashing. This is not his true body? Is it just a shadow? ??Just when King Xi was in shock and doubt, Xia En''s voice sounded faintly behind him. West King Epson, you will be the second. Go to hell! The King of the West twisted his waist and struck down with an axe! ?The wind is howling and the air waves are rolling. It''s just that no matter how terrible the attack is, as long as it misses, it will have no effect. ? King Xis face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes scanned around him warily. What second one? He means that I will become the second rebel to die after the King of the East? Youre just pretending to be a god! Watch me chop you to death! But it will be the next moment. ??A figure quietly walked out from the side of King Xi. A dagger that was a mixture of blood and black easily cut through the flesh and opened a long wound on his waist and abdomen. ? King Xi grunted and slashed at his side at an extremely fast speed. ?However, this inevitable ax still failed to hit! How is it possible? How can he be so fast? After being cut open several times and returning without success, King Xi finally came to his senses. No, its not his speed, but the darkness This darkness is his domain! ?Although King Xi was suppressed by the promotion ritual, this part of his memory still remained in his mind. He quickly realized the nature of this strange darkness. In King Xis memory, he also remembered another thing Only the domain can fight against the domain! Damn, damn, damn! Why can this twelfth apostle control the domain? This is inconsistent with the information obtained in advance! ?Thinking of this, the King of the West lost all intention to fight and began to rush towards the distance at full speed. ?But soon, he found in despair that no matter how he tried to escape, he could not break out of this darkness. ??Moreover, that vague figure would always appear next to him like a shadow and attack from any angle. Sometimes its above the head, sometimes its behind you, and sometimes its underground! ?The darkness full of malice, the shadowy figures that may appear at any time, the peeping from the dark side...the suffering of all this seems to never end. After being attacked again and again and the injuries on his body getting worse, the fear in King Xi''s heart also accumulated and amplified little by little. The high-intensity fighting and the tense body and mind made him even more nervous. Ahhhhhhh! ?Suddenly, King Xi shouted, activating the remaining secret power in his body and waving the ax in his hand wildly. Dont come over! Dont come over! Ill kill you! Ill kill you! ?Under such violent catharsis, a bright yellow light burst out, and everything around him was destroyed by King Xi and turned into ruins. Only darkness remains. Not far away, Xia En looked at the crazy King Xi silently, feeling a little strange. Is he crazy? Really, am I so terrible? However, this [Big Dark Sky] is indeed easier to use than I imagined. This secret technique derived from the "Twilight Black Pearl" was named "Great Dark Sky" by Xia En. Not only does it combine his own abilities, but also incorporates the moves from the [Book of Shadows], integrating attack, defense, and interference into one, making it an all-around field. Not long. After all the secret power in King Xi''s body was released, Xia En quietly came behind him and cut off his head with a casual knife. At this point, two of the five kings of the sea have died! In the eyes of everyone. The death of the King of the West in battle was far more shocking than the death of the King of the East. The reason is simple The King of the East died too quickly. It was in darkness again, and people had no idea whether he was dead or how he died. Epsom, king of Kexi, persisted for a while in the hands of the twelfth apostle. ?Furthermore, the bright yellow secret power he exudes is like the bright moon at night, attracting people''s attention. ??The pirates were also able to see how the King of the West went from being confident to panicked and then completely driven crazy. Just watching his death and listening to his screams gave people a chilling feeling, as if they had personally experienced the despair and fear of being forced into a desperate situation. ?At the same time, the pirates vaguely saw the strange and looming figure, and many speculations arose in their minds. In the corner, Hui Yun was extremely surprised and asked in surprise. John is still alive? And, why can we see King Xi, but he doesnt seem to see us? Not far from Hui Yun, a strange color flashed in the eyes of the man in a white coat wearing a single-sided spectacles. If I read it correctly, this should be the power of the domain. Our various senses have been affected and distorted by the surrounding darkness. I am afraid that he alone blinded King Xis perception, and this is why he remains invincible from beginning to end. Field? ?Huiyun widened his eyes and murmured: "Isn''t that an ability that only fifth-level secret path practitioners can master?" How did this guy get around the restrictions and do this? Wait, his breath At this moment, Hui Yun suddenly realized that the aura displayed by Xia En was far vaster and deeper than that of the third-level Mystic Pathfinder. This is clearly the fourth level! But here, isnt it the third-level promotion ritual? Did he take advantage of some loophole in the [Secret Sea] trial? This is cheating! Wrong. ??The white coat shook his head: "This guy probably used some external object in the ritual to temporarily improve his rank." "Even the power of this domain should be related to that foreign object." Hearing this, Huiyun felt a lot better. ??If Xia En was originally a fourth-level mystic, but ended up participating in the third-level promotion ritual, everyone would feel it was unfair. ?However, looking at the situation on the field, Hui Yun''s heart was not completely relieved. Even if John now has a fourth-level combat power, the Mad King and the Wind Queen are also fourth-level. Not to mention, there is a Benjamin who has not yet shown his full strength. Will he...really win? At this time. A burst of hearty laughter sounded in the darkness. Hahaha, I didnt expect there to be a strong person like you among the apostles! You are amazing for being able to kill the East King and the West King consecutively. The one who laughed was none other than the mad king Crow outside the palace. ?The red hair all over his body was flying in the wind, and the energy and blood in his body roared, constantly emitting extremely high temperatures. Even though Crowe''s figure was still obscured by darkness, the pirates could clearly feel the hot and strong aura. Crowe continued: "However, just to let you know, among us, the East King and the West King are the two weakest people." I have always disdained being called one of the five kings with them. You killed them, I have to thank you very much! ?These words shocked the pirates. ??When not facing Augustine, Crowe is indeed worthy of the name of "Mad King"! However, what Xia En said next shocked everyone even more. Crazy King Crow? In my eyes, there is no difference between you and those two. Im not targeting you alone, I just want to say that everyone here is rubbish. ?All the pirates were in an uproar. ??Hui Yun opened his mouth slightly. ?These words are simply crazier than Crowe! ?Mad King Crow stopped laughing. He said coldly: "A mere apostle still dares to say such big words." Your arrogance will be your downfall! ?Even though Crowe was extremely jealous of Augustine, he always had a arrogant sense of superiority in his heart when dealing with others besides Augustine. The eyes are higher than the top, and the eyes are empty of everything. This is why he is called the "Mad King". At the moment, he was naturally angry at Xia En''s ridicule. When had he been despised by such a little apostle? The next moment. ??Chloe stamped his feet on the ground, and as the ground beneath his feet undulated and collapsed, he rushed towards a direction in the darkness like a cannonball. With the help of his sense of energy and blood, he was able to locate Xia En''s position. In the process of the death of the East King and the West King, Crowe also vaguely saw the effect of Xia En''s domain power. He can appear in almost every location in the dark. Just every time you shuttle, there will be a very short pause. The way to break this shadow shuttle is very simple. Thats it Faster than he can travel through the darkness! For most people, this is of course unrealistic, but Crazy King Crow can do this! Want to fight me head-on? Xia En''s voice sounded: "Okay, then let me completely defeat you in the area where you are most confident!" Suddenly, there was a loud bang amidst the screams in the air. Chloe''s body collided with Shane''s. Terrible force stirred in the air, and the wind roared and swept away. Chloe''s face changed slightly. His collision was like hitting a big mountain! He immediately understood that the opponent''s physical fitness was definitely not inferior to his! ??Then the two sides fought faster and faster, Crowe continuously shot around Shane, hitting back and forth like a meteor. ??The surrounding buildings were swept up in the air waves created by the fighting between the two sides, and completely collapsed in an instant, turning into large areas of ruins. However, what makes all onlookers feel incredible is... Crow, who has always been known for his physicality, is at an absolute disadvantage! ?In people''s perception, the red mass of Qi and blood is like a toy being rubbed, beaten, and tempered wantonly. No matter how Crowe activates the blood in his body, the opponent''s quality in all aspects will exceed his own. This gradually gave Crowe a sense of despair. As a mystic who is good at close combat, he understands better ?Although skills can make up for some differences in physical fitness, when the gap reaches a certain level, it cannot be overcome no matter what. In fact, not long ago, Crowe used this to defeat Nana. But now, it was his turn to experience this kind of crushing in attributes and values ??for himself! ?This can only be considered bad luck for Crowe. After all, from time to time until now, Xia En''s strongest means has never been any secret skills or combat skills, but this body with exaggerated numerical values. With the addition of [Twilight Black Pearl] and various talents, even Xia En didn''t know how strong his physical fitness was now. A "boom" punch. ?Shaan directly smashed Crow into the ground. He turned to look at the others and said, "You guys, don''t waste any more time. Let''s go together." Chrome stood up with difficulty from the pit, coughed up blood in his mouth, and shouted loudly. Fenghou, Tucker, Benjamin, what are you waiting for? If we dont take action, we will be defeated one by one by him! Not far away, Tuckers eyes flashed with venomous blood flowing all over his body. He had already begun to think about retreating. ?Through the wave of killings just now, his trial evaluation has been improved several times. There is no need to fight this guy to the death anymore. The most correct choice is to stay calm until the ritual is over. High up in the palace, the face behind the wind is extremely solemn. Beheaded two kings one after another, and suppressed the mad king Crow head-on. After seeing this fighting power, she had developed a deep fear of Xia En. Fenghou looked at Benjamin, who was emitting starlight below, and thought: "The only person here who can defeat him is probably this man." At this time, Benjamin finally said his first words to Shane. (End of this chapter) Chapter 205 A new king ascends the throne! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 205 The new king ascends the throne! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) "Apostle John, you are indeed very powerful. It can be said that you are the only strong person here who can threaten me." ?Benjamin looked at Xia En in the darkness and said. "But just like Crowe said, your arrogance will be your downfall." Through your battle with the three pirates, I have seen through the essence of your secret skill. Its really remarkable to use darkness as your realm. However, unfortunately, my power happens to absolutely restrain your secret technique. As he spoke, Benjamins palms lit up with stars. Let me ask you for the last time now, are you willing to surrender? As long as you surrender, I will give you the rank of colonel on behalf of the Royal Navy, and you can even apply for a title from the king. Hearing these words, the pirates in the scene were greatly shocked. They didn''t expect that Benjamin would have such a high opinion of Xia En, and he also offered such a generous surrender treatment. The rank of colonel, a title on the mainland, is something that countless pirates dream of. What frightens the pirates even more is... ??If Xia En really surrenders, then no one in the [Pirate Principality] at this time can stop the two of them from sweeping away. Chuluo was defeated, the first apostle was seriously injured, and the king of the west and the king of the east were dead. The only ones who can be considered as having combat strength are the Wind Queen above and the third apostle Tiffany. ?Aware of this, everyone present had their hearts high, waiting for Xia En''s reply. I have to say, your proposal is very attractive. ?Shaan''s casual words made the pirates'' hearts rise in their throats. Fortunately, his next words made them relax. But, I refuse! If you want to destroy [Pirate Principality], then try to defeat me first! Benjamin was not surprised by Xia En''s choice, he just sighed with regret. It seems that another genius is going to die in my hands today. Before he finished speaking, several bright stars lit up around Benjamin. ?Moreover, these looming stars quickly spread into the distance, and the starlight also changed from weak to bright. As the stars lit up everywhere in the darkness, the darkness that was originally as thick as a tide began to become a little thinner, the visibility slowly increased, and the deep malice also gradually dissipated. Fear comes from the unknown. Once there is light in the darkness and you can see things around you, this fear will be greatly reduced. ??Huiyun immediately saw Benjamins intention and said in shock. He plans to use starlight to disperse the darkness and completely destroy this realm! So, as Benjamin said, his secret skill is naturally Johns nemesis! Beside him, the man in a white coat shook his head and laughed. This guys field is not that simple. "If you simply treat it as pure darkness, you will definitely suffer a big loss." ? Hui Yun was dubious about his judgment and stared at the two people in the field intently. After the starlight gradually brightened, Xia En''s figure and face appeared in front of everyone. People were surprised by his youth and beauty, and they were also horrified by the ruins around him that looked like they had been destroyed by a storm. What kind of battle could leave such a mark? ??As for Mad King Crow, who was standing in the pit, his condition could only be described as "in dire straits." I saw that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his whole body was covered in wounds. His red hair had been torn to pieces, and several of his bones were broken. ??? formed a sharp contrast with Xia En''s calm and unhurried posture. At this time. The first one to make a move was not Shane and Benjamin, but Roshan Tucker, who had been extremely honest from the beginning! ??His feet were constantly seeping out of extremely corrosive venom, which actually corroded a hole in the ground beneath him, and he took the opportunity to drill down. ?Tucker originally didnt want to run away at this time. But in his perception, he clearly noticed that the darkness illuminated by the starlight was still casting strong malice towards him. ?This malice is getting stronger and stronger! ?Tucker immediately figured it out ?The twelfth apostle named John wanted to kill him! ?This made Tucker puzzled. It was clear that a powerful enemy was in front of him, so why did this man still focus on himself, who was not a big threat? ??Moreover, now that Benjamin has taken action, why does this sense of threat from the darkness still not subside? ?Instinct told Tucker that he must escape as soon as possible! That''s why he suddenly made such a move. ?Seeing that Tucker''s fat body was about to corrode a tunnel and escape under the sea water. The next moment. A cold snort sounded in his ears. Hmph, want to escape? The thick darkness followed Tucker deep into the tunnel. A long sword made of shadows stabbed Tucker straight in the back of the heart. simultaneously! ??Tucker''s back spit out a ball of venom from the fat on his back, corroding the shadow sword completely. His poisonous blood has gone beyond the scope of ordinary liquid, and even the secret power can corrode and decompose it. ??However, spitting out such poisonous blood is also a loss for Tucker, bringing him one step closer to death. ??He has to insist on living until the promotion ritual is over, so naturally he doesn''t want to continue using this life-saving style of play. ?So, Tucker''s face was twisted and ferocious, and he roared angrily. John, dont force me! Believe it or not, if I blow myself up, 50% of the people on the island will be poisoned to death! This sea area will completely turn into a dead sea! Xia En said calmly: "What does that have to do with me?" Besides, you can give it a try and see if you can do it. As he spoke, more than a dozen shadow daggers stabbed out from all directions, cutting Tucker''s body crazily. At this time, a hint of anger finally appeared on Benjamins calm face. John, how dare you be distracted when facing me? Its so...so stupid! ?Benjamins anger is easy to understand. ??He originally regarded Xia En as an opponent of the same level and was ready to fight with him, but at this time Xia En ignored him and went to chase Tucker. What a slight! ?What an insult! ? ?Especially for a strong man like Benjamin who has been famous for a long time, it is even more intolerable. ?While Benjamin was angry, the stars around him actually took on a slight red light. ?These starlights quickly condensed and changed, and finally turned into a huge and long spear. ?Benjamin clenched his hands tightly, as if holding the starlight spear. Immediately, he turned his body and threw the starlight spear with all his strength! The spear instantly turned into a stream of light and struck directly in the direction of Xia En. Seeing this dazzling starlight, the pirates were all shaken and felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. Their first reaction is to instinctively explode their secret power to protect themselves. Even Queen Feng, Mad King, and Tiffany find it difficult to remain calm. ?In their perception, the danger level of this starlight spear is several times higher than that of the first apostle Moss''s icy stream of light. ?Moreover, it also gives people a feeling of "locking in" and "definitely winning". John is dead. At this moment, many people had such thoughts in their minds. ?However, in the face of the rapidly coming starlight spear, Shane still turned a deaf ear and extended a giant shadow hand to Tucker. ?Tucker, who was hiding underground, wailed in his heart. Is this person crazy? Its already this time and he still wants to kill me?! Or is it that he knew he was going to die, so he wanted to help him? ?No matter what, the threat of death is still very real. ?Tucker gritted his teeth and became fierce, a flash of madness flashed in his eyes: "If you want to die, let''s die together!" I didnt succeed in promotion, and neither can others! Immediately, driven by the secret power, his body was transformed into flammable and explosive substances using alchemical secrets. Then, the fat and poisonous blood burned violently, and a horrific explosion occurred in an instant. Just before the explosion spread outwards and even spread to the entire island. A giant shadow hand suddenly grasped it in the palm of his hand, compressing the power of the explosion into a very small range. ! ?Nearly everyone heard a muffled sound, and the ground shook violently. This vibration ??Huiyun''s face changed slightly: "Did Tucker blow himself up?" But the power seems to have weakened a lot "No, the most important thing now is whether John can take this starlight spear." He stared intently at the direction in which the Starlight Spear fell, and couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. I saw that the starlight spear tore through a large amount of darkness during the passage, and it was extremely dazzling. But when it was about to land on Xia En, its speed suddenly slowed down, as if it had plunged into a mass of mud. Not only that, the darkness around Xia En changed strangely again, becoming thicker and deeper, covering his figure again. Just a few seconds, in people''s perception, it seems like a century has passed. Soon, Xia Ens voice sounded again. "Benjamin, do you think... you are the only one who can use the secret power of the stars?" Look carefully, this is how the real secret power of the stars is used! The next moment. ??In the darkness surrounding Xia En, countless stars lit up, reflecting his appearance at this time - A huge giant that barely maintains human outlines and whose body is covered with starlight. ?Beside this starlight giant, there is the vast starry sky and the bottomless darkness. Xia En in front of him seemed to be standing in the starry sky extremely far away from them, quietly overlooking the actions of these ants. ?In his hand, he caught the starlight spear lightly, preventing it from making any progress. ??The originally extremely slender spear was just a short sword in his hand. Xia En held the "dagger" and flicked it gently. At a faster speed than when it came, it flew towards Benjamin who was standing where he was. Not only the pirates in the palace, but also the entire [Ten Thousand Ships Island] and everyone in the surrounding area looked at this starlight giant with disbelief. In this realm of [great darkness], he is the only light! ?Some people with strong inspiration will even have indescribable hallucinations after looking directly at this starlight giant. In other words, they saw some... things they shouldn''t have seen. This kind of secret skill...this kind of field...is simply unreasonably strong! ??Hui Yun stared at the Starlight Giant, his mouth wide open. He has never been so lucky for a moment. This John is his teammate, not his enemy. Interesting! Interesting! ??The white coat next to Huiyun showed excitement, looking at Xia En with the eyes of a rare treasure in the world, and murmured in his mouth. Not only can you strengthen your own talents and secret skills, but you can also absorb all the secret powers in this field..." When you are weak, you are strong; when you are strong, you are stronger! Simply a genius idea! But why does his breath feel a little familiar? No one paid attention to what the man said to himself. Their eyes all fell on the landing point of the starlight spear. ?Benjamins expression was solemn, and he raised his hands together. A ball of starlight turned like a millstone, pulling back and forth and weakening the power of the starlight spear. Soon, many red starlights dispersed. ?Benjamins face turned slightly pale. It was obvious that he didnt take the spear easily. Oh? Arent you coming over yet? Xia En spoke again: "Then I will attack it." At this time, colorful and ever-changing nebulae appeared behind him. It smells of corrosion and infection. Its Tuckers poison! ?Benjamin immediately recognized the nature of this nebula, and his brows couldn''t help but frown deeper. You extracted the secret power of my stars? Xia En smiled lightly and said: "Yes, I would like to thank you very much for adding a few more stars to my [Great Dark Sky]." However, even without you, I can still call upon this secret power. ??If Benjamin had not wanted to use the stars to light up the darkness, he would not have dispersed the secret power of the stars to every corner of the [Great Dark Sky]. This gave Xia En the opportunity to extract secret power on a large scale. Facing this situation, Benjamin took a deep breath, and little dark red starlight seeped out from the pores of his skin. John, come and fight! ?After giving a loud shout, Benjamin rushed towards Xia En with a bang. Immediately afterwards, people saw two groups of starlight of different colors engaging in an extremely fierce fight in the darkness. The two stir, collide, and entangle with each other. ??The pirates could barely see the figures of the two men clearly at first, but soon, they could only see two stars in the darkness, fighting from one end of [Ten Thousand Ships Island] to the other. Just the aftermath of the confrontation between the two made many pirates tremble with fear. ?However, most people can see it... In midair, the red starlight was fading step by step, while the giant''s light became brighter and brighter. No matter how fierce the confrontation is, there is a moment to stop. With a "boom", the dark red starlight was defeated again, and Benjamin''s figure flew out, hitting the palace where the four walls were destroyed and almost reduced to ruins. Xia En''s body shape then appeared and returned to a normal human body shape. After stepping on Benjamin''s feet, he walked step by step towards the throne in the hall. In the entire palace, only the throne miraculously remained intact. ?Shaan walked forward while looking around at the pirates. ?Whether it was Fenghou, Crowe, or the other apostles, they all lowered their heads silently. No one dared to look at him. Fear, humility, shock, excitement, awe...Xia En saw different emotions on their faces, but he remained calm inside. Suddenly, a pirate knelt on the ground, knelt down to Xia En, and shouted enthusiastically: "King! You will become the new pirate king!" ?his call was immediately responded to by many people. A new king is born! Please lead us forward! Invite the new king to ascend the throne! ?Amidst thousands of cries, Xia En sat down on the throne. The next moment. ? ?An even higher voice resounded throughout [Wanchuan Island]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 206 Promoted to the fourth level! Hidden profession [Deep Sea Devourer] Chapter 206 Promoted to the fourth level! Hidden profession [Deep Sea Devourer] Under the shining of thousands of stars, amid the calls of many pirates. Xia En sat on the throne in the center of [Ten Thousand Ships Island]. But the next moment. ??The pirates'' voices suddenly stopped, and the entire island fell silent at an extremely fast speed. Soon, the surroundings became so quiet... People can even hear their own heartbeat and breathing. From extreme noise to extreme silence, it took almost only two or three seconds. This should have been an incredible thing, but at this time, no one among the pirates cared about such a trivial matter. ??Their attention was all attracted by a figure appearing next to Xia En. ?His snow-white beard, old face, and slightly stooped figure are no longer as tall and tall as they once were. ?Strangely, he wore a crown that he rarely wore todayit was a crown of kings made by top craftsmen when the [Pirate Principality] was established. But maybe it was because he hadn''t worn it for too long, or maybe it was because the king was getting older. When the crown was put on his head, it no longer seemed to fit well, and it was actually a little crooked. However, no one of the pirates present dared to despise him for this. Just the opposite. Almost everyone felt a stronger fear in their hearts than when they faced Xia En. ?This awe comes from the past decades of rule, from the afterimage that always charges forward, and from the victorious maritime battles. ?That is the real king of the [Pirate Principality] Augustine! Seeing him, the pirates'' hearts were in their throats. ?In their view, Augustine would definitely take action against Shane, who attempted to usurp the throne, and then settle accounts with others. Furthermore, looking at Augustine''s condition, he is just a little old and has not suffered any serious injuries. ?In this case, isn''t Xia En bound to lose? ?Even though the pirates have seen Sean''s strength, the fear of Augustine seems to be engraved in their hearts. They would repeatedly test Augustine, who was suspected of being seriously injured, and were extremely afraid. Faced with Augustine in his prime, they even lacked the courage to challenge him. ?Huiyun sighed and said regretfully. Its over now, John will probably be executed on the spot by Augustine. ? He ??also did not think that Shane could survive Augustine''s hands. But what happened next made everyones eyes widen Facing Xia En who was sitting on the throne, Augustine not only did not get angry, but instead showed a pleased smile, almost speaking in an approving tone. You did a great job. I couldnt do this when I was your age. You have proven to me that your possibility, even if it is still weak, is enough for me to place my hope in the future. While saying this, Augustine slowly took off the crown on his head. The next moment, his tone suddenly became solemn and solemn. I, the captain of the Black Sails Fleet and the founder of the [Pirate Principality], now, in the name of Augustine... crown you! You will become the new king! Please lead people towards the future you describe! ??For some reason, when Xia En heard this, his heart felt like it was hit hard, and he felt a rare feeling of tears filling his eyes. He knew very well the pride in the old man''s heart. ?Shane understood better that Augustine crowned him not for him alone, but for the future that he said would expel the gods, and for the world to no longer be destroyed and destroyed at will. ?For this reason, the old man is willing to put aside his pride and hand over the crown to him. ?When the crown was placed on Xia En''s head, Xia En suddenly felt that the whole world seemed different. He seemed to hear many voices and feel many emotions. ?These sounds and emotions are so real and so close. ?It is like there are countless threads passing through this crown and connecting to him. Those are the citizens of the [Pirate Principality]. ?Their awe, envy, fear, and jealousy all turned into some invisible force that washed over Xia En''s mind. Fortunately, this impact only lasted a very short moment. Xia En calmed down, raised his head, and happened to meet Augustine''s eyes. ?He suddenly understood what Augustine wanted to say If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight! The process of fighting the gods is bound to be difficult, and this burden is bound to be heavy. Xia En said to himself: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous." At this time, Augustine suddenly smiled and said: "Sure enough, you are even better than I expected." However, there is still one thing you didnt do your best at. ?Shaan couldn''t help but asked curiously: "What is it?" There are more than two apostles who betrayed me. As Augustine spoke, he stretched out his big hand in a direction not far away. In that direction, stood the Wind Queen and the Third Apostle Tiffany. ?Fenghou suddenly let out a scream of terror, and his body suddenly dispersed into countless blue hurricanes, running away in all directions. ?But in Augustine''s hands, these hurricanes completely lost their previous sharpness and strength, and were held into a ball by him like well-behaved sheep. Finally, return to the shape after the wind. ?Feng Hou suddenly vomited blood on the spot and suddenly became a little depressed. ??Moreover, her legs and arms were all limp, and it was obvious that several bones were broken. ?However, what Augustine really wants to deal with is not Feng Hou, but Tiffany standing next to her! ?Under the crushing force of the invisible force, the air around Tiffany suddenly tightened and became extremely solid. ??Had it been another secret traveler, I am afraid that he would have been crushed so hard that his bones would burst into pieces in an instant, and he would have fallen to the ground and died. But beside Tiffany, there was a barrier of telekinesis that firmly protected her from being crushed by the huge force. The situation is different from that of being killed directly after the wind. ?This layer of mental barrier appears to be extremely strong, barely equal to Augustine''s strength. ?This phenomenon immediately shocked the other apostles. ?This means that Tiffany is hiding its own strength! And when fighting against Feng Hou, he still did not use all his strength! Combined with Augustines words, the identity of the last traitor is already clear. ?However, the apostles could not figure out why Tiffany, as the third apostle, betrayed Augustine? According to rumors, didnt they have a relationship that went beyond friendship? Hui Yun who was watching was also shocked: "Among the twelve apostles, there are actually traitors?" Or Tiffany? He looked to his side, wanting the man in the white coat with a single-sided spectacles to analyze the situation for him. ?But when I turned around, I saw that the white coat had disappeared. Where has he gone? In the field. Under heavy pressure. ??Tiffany''s expression was unusually calm, and she just asked curiously. When did you find out? I should have never shown any flaws. Augustine said calmly: "You did play Tiffany very well, but playing... is just playing after all." Before he finished speaking, the invisible big hand tightened again. Click! A clear crack appeared in the barrier that enveloped Tiffany. Obviously, Augustine wanted to crush the barrier and Tiffany directly! He can do this. Because...he is Augustine! But at this moment. A figure in a white coat suddenly appeared next to Tiffany. ??The man said with a smile: "Mr. Augustine, why are you so angry?" "I think we can actually have a good talk." Seeing this man, Xia En''s pupils shrank sharply. ? ? Single-sided glasses, suspicious appearance of a researcher... Such distinctive features immediately reminded him of a man mentioned by the Queen of the Sea Tribe and Joey. A name comes out of your mouth. [Undertaker]!? Hearing this, the white coat glanced at Xia En in surprise. You actually know this name? Its just one of the names Ive used, though. At least in this slice of history, I prefer the name [Observer]. A slice of history? Observer? ?Xia En frowned slightly and had many questions in his mind. But now is obviously not the time to get to the bottom of things. Augustine beside him seemed to have expected the appearance of the [Observer], and said: "Did it really come out?" You worms eating history! "The replaced Tiffany is the anchor point for your smuggling, right?" Observer grinned: "As expected of Augustine, even if it is just a copied projection, he has such a profound understanding of us." Xia Ens heart skipped a beat. ??If this man spoke out the essence of the promotion ritual so brazenly, wouldn''t it have any impact on other pirates? Xia En turned to look at the others, but was surprised to find... The faces of the pirates were blank, as if they had not heard what the [Observer] was saying at all. In fact, when the words of this white coat fell on their ears, they turned into a kind of noise that was simply incomprehensible. In other words, this is a shielding sound used to protect the personalities of these projections. Only the trialists who participated in the promotion can understand it. Augustine obviously didnt want to talk nonsense with the [Observer] anymore, and his big hands suddenly tightened. Immediately afterwards, the space around the [observer] was directly blocked and shattered. This time, it is no longer the squeeze from the air. Rather, this space was controlled by Augustine. It turned into an indescribable weapon, launching an attack on the [Observer] and "Tiffany". The ability that Augustine truly mastered was the power of space! Surprisingly Just when this destructive force was about to spread to the [Observer]''s body, the air around him turned into... A mess of code? Thats right, its gibberish! ?Countless chaotic, indescribable and weird words are constantly emerging and entangled. The chaotic flow of light and shadow, like a mosaic, obscures the bodies of the [Observer] and Tiffany. It also prevents the terrifying power of space from crossing this layer of mosaic and really harming the two of them. ??Even Xia En saw this strange phenomenon for the first time. At the same time, the voice of [Observer] continued to sound from the mosaic. Augustine, why bother? We [Truth Society] have always been sincere to you. Truth Society! Shane was not surprised by the name. ?Such a scene filled with a sense of dissonance can only be achieved by people from the Truth Society. ??If you compare this promotion ritual to a game copy, the [Observer] in front of you is like a BUG in the copy. Enter a certain "invincible" state and will not be affected by external attacks. Wait, stow away... ?Shaan suddenly remembered a word Augustine mentioned before. Perhaps, its not a BUG, ??but...an alien virus! ?In Augustines words, [The Will of the Secret Sea] is an extremely large, sophisticated, and absolutely rational machine. ?Then naturally some people will think of using this machine to achieve some unique purpose. The worm that eats history Could it be said that the purpose of the [Truth Society] is to collect real historical data and information from this promotion copy? But why do they do this? ?Xia En only felt a headache. So far, he still doesnt know what kind of organization the [Truth Society] is. They dont even understand what the truth they are pursuing is. At this time, Augustine continued: "In my opinion, you are not much better than the apostles of [Huisi Ming]." The gods they believe in are just to satisfy their own desires, and there are still traces of their behavioral patterns. But the existence of your faithis madness itself! "shut up!" In the mosaic, [Observer] said coldly: "Augustin, do you have to force me to destroy this projection of yours?" Augustine was undaunted: Then come and give it a try! [The Will of the Secret Sea] should be coming soon, right? ?The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if there was a big mountain pressing on everyone''s hearts. ??The confrontation between two top strong men will make the weak tremble even if it only exists in their minds. But soon, [Observer] smiled and said, Well, this time, Ill count you as the winner. However, I did not lose. He turned his head in the mosaic and looked at Xia En. I finally remembered, it turns out...you are the one chosen by that woman. No wonder its so interesting. Dont worry, we will meet again soon! When the [Observer] was about to leave, Xia En suddenly spoke. [Observer], do you remember a siren named Diana? Hearing this name, [Observer]''s expression suddenly became uncertain, and he murmured. What a familiar name He is...a person who cannot be forgotten! But why cant I remember him? Whywhy ?In the process of trying to remember, the garbled code around [the observer] is like a blowout, and the chaotic light and shadow jump and flow wantonly, and the trend is becoming more and more intense. Such anomalies have obviously attracted the attention of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. At the next moment. A vast and majestic consciousness has arrived. Soon, a ray of light lit up in front of Xia En''s eyes, drowning everything around him. Before being overwhelmed by the light, Shane saw Augustine smiling and waving to him. At this moment, he seemed to be no longer a pirate king, but just a kind elder saying goodbye to his descendants. He said softly: "The future will be left to you." Subsequently, curtains of light quickly fell, which was the settlement page of Xia Ens promotion ritual. Necessary tasks completed perfectly! Complete the optional mission "Perfect performance", "The Last Supper", "The treasure is mine", "Famous everywhere", "On the throne"!

Hidden secret profession: Deep Sea Devourer (Level 4)! (End of this chapter) Chapter 207 Overall quality 45! New talent [Swallow Evolution! 】 Chapter 207 Comprehensive quality 4.5! New talent [Swallow Evolution! The moment after the light curtain appears. The familiar and turbulent wave of secret power came again, washing away Xia En''s body and soul. In an instant, Xia En''s perception of the surrounding mysterious power became much clearer, and every cell, every muscle, and every secret power in his body was cheering for joy. ?It seems that every time I breathe, I can absorb the secret power around me. It also caused all the vitality in his body to burst out, pushing this body to transform in a more powerful direction. But it is different from the previous promotions. ?This time, Xia En noticed that the wave was not only coming toward him, but also rushing away in other directions in the light. It is not difficult to guess that they are other mystical practitioners who survived the ritual. but ?Xia En clearly felt that the wave rushing towards him was particularly solid and surging. This gift is almost more abundant than that of all the other Mystic Pathgoers combined. Shaan En understood something in his heart. ?This should be the benefit of getting a very high rating. The secret wayfarers with higher evaluations should receive more gifts from the [Secret Sea] than those with lower evaluations. ?Perhaps, this is also the reason why Xia Ens trial tasks were much more difficult than those of ordinary Mystics before. Soon, new changes occurred. Gradually, Xia En vaguely sensed an extremely vast, majestic and ancient will from this wave. ?Just touching a corner of Him makes people think of the vastness of the universe and the bottomless abyss. This is...[The Will of the Secret Sea]? Xia En was thoughtful. ?This group of will does not have any actual form, but will show different images in the eyes of different people. And in Xia Ens perception ?At first glance, He looks like an endless ocean wave, with mountains upon mountains and never ending. Immediately, He transformed into a giant dragon-like snake with dark blue scales. ?His body is covered with colorful wings, which are inexplicably similar to the "Yinglong" in Xia En''s impression. Soon, the giant snake disappeared and was replaced by a cold round stone pillar. The stone pillars are clinging to dark thorns, and patterns like totems are drawn on them. Then, the totem pillar turned into an old man riding a starry horse and holding a spear that shone like stars. ?His cloak is blue, and his whole body is shining with light like a star. In other words, He is the star itself! On His face, there was only one single eye. At this time, the one-eyed old man looked at Xia En. ?Seemingly getting some satisfactory answer, he laughed loudly, and then threw the spear in his hand - It penetrated Xia En''s body in an instant. ?At the same time, deep in Xia En''s mind, an eye made of faint blue lines suddenly opened. Soon, everything in front of me shattered like a dream. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! Comprehensive quality: 3.44.5! Unlock the exclusive talent of "The Devourer of the Deep": Body of the Deep! ?Quality: Rare Description: Your physical body can adapt to the environment of the deep sea, absorb oxygen directly from the sea water, and greatly reduce the influence of water pressure and water temperature. The more deep sea creatures you swallow, the higher your body will adapt to the deep sea, and you will even be able to continuously draw secret power from the deep sea. Furthermore, your body will gradually exert pressure on deep-sea creatures, making it easier to hunt them. You can freely control this pressure. Embrace the deep sea, embrace the future! Unlock the exclusive talent of "Deep Sea Devourer": Devour Evolution! Quality: Epic Description: Effect 1. Gluttony - Your digestive system has undergone a transformation. You eat an astonishing amount of food and your digestion speed is extremely terrifying. But at the same time, you can also fully absorb the nutrients in food to strengthen yourself and heal injuries. Effect 2: Devour, then evolveWhen devouring different prey, you will gain permanent gains based on the ability of the prey. Change is a good thing! After each hunting and devouring, the professional compatibility can be slightly improved. Career fit: 0/100 Note: You can choose the direction of your own evolution. The above effects can be synchronized with "Projection Body", and have a 10 times bonus to deep sea creatures. After reading these words, Xia En''s eyes couldn''t help but reveal a hint of joy. It is indeed a ritual to advance to the fourth level! The comprehensive quality improvement of 1.1 is a huge leap forward, surpassing any previous promotion. The two exclusive talents of [Devourer of the Deep] made Xia En feel a little weird. The previous [Deep Sea Body], simply put, gives Xia En''s body the ability to move in the deep sea. Under the deep sea, it has always been a restricted area for humans. Since ancient times, only a handful of mystics have been able to dive and explore. In this era, unlocking such talents is undoubtedly a great help to ordinary mystics. But for Xia En, the meaning of [Deep Sea Body] is not that great. He could have used [Deep Sea Diving] to explore the deep sea without worrying about the life and death of [Projected Body]. The worst case scenario is to reopen it! Under normal circumstances, there is basically no need for Xia En to risk his body in the sea. But to say it is useless, [Deep Sea Body] seems to be somewhat useful. It can help [Projection Body] reduce the impact of the deep sea environment, and can also draw secret power from the sea water. It is equivalent to a small version enhancement of [Projection Body] again. ??Moreover, if necessary, Xia En''s body can also go to the sea and fight side by side with the [Projection Body] to achieve justice in a two-on-one fight. It can only be said to be useful, but not that useful. Seems a bit tasteless. ?But suddenly, a bold idea came to Xia En''s mind. "[Ship Soul Synchronization] can synchronize my talent to the ship." What would happen if [Black Swan] or [Diamond Star] were given the talent of [Deep Sea Body]? ?Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly became energetic. ?Looking at the talent of [Deep Sea Body], it has become much more pleasing to the eye. ?However, what Xia En really values ????is actually the second exclusive talent [Swallowing Evolution]! The name of this talent is simple and crude. The effect is clear at a glance devour, then evolve! This is obviously also the core talent of the [Deep Sea Devourer] profession. The first effect is [Gluttony], which has certain side effects, making his food intake greatly increase and making it difficult to satisfy him. But its positive effects can completely make people ignore this side effect. ?Think about the sea monsters in the deep sea, such as giant octopuses, giant crabs, and giant whales. Which one is not a huge existence? ?Only with a large enough appetite can one eat all these sea monsters. Gulu Just thinking about those sea monsters, Xia En couldn''t help but swallow his saliva, and a strong sense of hunger arose in his belly. Apparently, this talent has begun to take its toll on him. So, after hunting sea monsters in the future, not only can you extract [Secret Sea Crystal] to gain talents, but you can also extract it again with [Swallowing Evolution]? There really isnt even a bit of scum left Isnt this more capitalist than capitalist? ?Xia En complained secretly. Another advantage of this talent is that it works simultaneously on [Projection Body]. ? also means ??If he encounters some prey that cannot be taken away in the future, Xia En can use [Projection Body] to eat them clean directly under the sea. Diligence, frugality and no waste have always been a good virtue! "It''s just that...looking at the nature of this profession, it seems to encourage me to take the initiative to devour the big guys in the deep sea?" [The Will of the Secret Sea] does this, does it have any other purpose? While Xia En was thinking silently. Several more lines of prompts appeared. Since you received an "unprecedented" rating in this trial, you can take away three additional pieces of loot from the following items. 1. Dusk Black Pearl 2.Pirate Crown (Broken) 3.1000 ancient gold coins (worth approximately 2000 gold dragon coins) 4.The Great Axe of the King of the West (weakened version) 5. Wind Queens Spell Book (Level 4) 6.Benjamins Space Ring (abridged version) 7. Sea Beast Heart in Pirate Treasure House (Level 5) 8. Tiffany''s intimate clothing (full set) 9. The wreckage of Wanchua Island (three cubic meters) "ah?" ?Xia En was stunned for a moment. Although he had learned from Huiyun before that some of the props in the ritual could be taken out. But he didnt know that the [unprecedented] evaluation could actually take away three items! Twilight Black PearlDon''t even think about it, Xia En will definitely take it away. Even if it can no longer be used, it can definitely bring a lot of improvement to the crew on the ship. Whether it is to improve their combat power at critical moments or to help them feel the status after promotion, it is excellent. The remaining seven trophies made Xia En look quite strange. One by one, they are either broken, weakened or deleted. What does this mean? Just after this question popped up in his mind, a few lines of text appeared. This promotion ritual is not real history. The loot produced is limited by the Mystic''s current level, and there are certain differences from the original version. Everything is subject to the actual product, please understand. Xia En was stunned. He just thought about it casually. How could he really get a reply from [Secret Sea]? And look at the tone... Its quite polite! ??Xia En remembers that in Augustine''s words, "The Will of the Secret Sea" is an absolutely cold existence, like that kind of artificial intelligence. But now it seems that this is not the case? The one-eyed old mans laughter just now seemed to prove this point from the side. ? At this moment, Xia En had new guesses about the images that just appeared - They are most likely the images that people regard as [The Will of the Secret Sea] at different times. It can be said that it is peoples cognition that creates the image of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. Is it because of the existence of the [Eye of the Secret Sea] that He treats me differently? Xia En calmed down his thoughts and focused on these lines of explanation again, nodding silently in his heart. ?After all, this is just a promotion ritual to break through to the fourth level. ???If you bring out a piece of loot casually, it is a seventh-level or eighth-level loot. Even not many secretists will choose to brush this copy repeatedly to obtain the maximum benefit. Having such a super-standard secret treasure as [Twilight Black Pearl] is already an exaggeration. Other trophies have generally been weakened to a certain extent, which is reasonable. When he saw options 8 and 9, Xia En couldn''t hold himself any longer. Option 9 can only be said to be somewhat commemorative. Option 8 actually reminded Shane of the experience of getting some strange trophies during [Deep Sea Diving]. ?So it seems that [Secret Sea Will] doesnt like [Truth Society] very much? After thinking for a moment, Xia En first locked on the [Pirate Crown] as the second trophy. ?Judging from how he felt after putting on the crown, its not difficult to guess ?This royal crown is not just a decoration, but also an extraordinary relic that may have some unique functions. As for the last trophy, Xia En was a little confused. The options in the middle all seem to be good, and except for ancient gold coins, they can all be quickly converted into timely combat power. ?What Xia En is particularly concerned about is actually [Benjamins space ring]. ?This thing feels like a blind box. ??It is possible to get good things, but it is also possible to get nothing from a bamboo basket. After a brief hesitation, Xia En remembered another thing and asked in his heart. Theoretically, [Sky Serpent] can be considered an item. Can I take it with me? Hearing this question, the will in the dark paused. Can''t. This "Sky Serpent" is not a real ship, it is just a projection in history. [Its ship soul is just a simulated personality. Bringing it into reality, there will be unpredictable distortions. ?Xia En sighed, not actually surprised. Since the ship spirit of the "Sky Serpent" has sprouted, it means that, to a certain extent, it is already a living creature. ??The difficulty for Xia En to take it away is no different from taking away a living NPC. ?Xia En didnt have much hope at first, he just wanted to take advantage of [Secret Sea Will] to talk and consult. ?However, just when he was about to choose the spoils of war. Although you cannot take away the "Serpentis", you can take away one of its components. This component will contain its memory of this trial ritual. Perhaps, this memory will take root one day. It''s just that taking away the components requires a share of the loot. Are you sure you want to do this? Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up without any hesitation. Im sure! Even though it took only a short time for Xia En and the Sky Serpent to come up with it, he already regarded this ship as his partner! As long as there is still a chance, Xia En doesn''t want to give it up. Furthermore, Xia En has already made a lot of money after being promoted to Rigai. He felt it was not a loss to use these castrated props in exchange for a chance to see the [Sky Serpent] again in the future! ?After hearing Xia En''s reply, an invisible force wiped across the previous panel, and new options appeared out of thin air. 10.The rudder of the "Sky Serpent" The next moment. ?Shane opened his eyes. ??The sky full of yellow sand [Sand Island] came into his sight again. (End of this chapter) Chapter 208 【Pirate Crown】【Augustine】and【Observer】 Chapter 208 [Pirate Crown] [Augustine] and [Observer] Sand Islandis still as desolate and solemn as before. The yellow sand is long and the wind is as sharp as a blade. Even the terrible sandstorm raging in the desert has not dissipated. It''s just that Xia En''s current state is completely different from before he escaped into the sandstorm. ?Unimaginable abundant power is running through his body. The aftertaste of [Secret Sea]''s gift has not dissipated, healing Xia En''s injuries caused by the sandstorm, and making the regenerated body stronger and stronger. ??The wind and sand that could easily cut his skin and were no less powerful than a steel knife fell on his body, just like scratching an itch, and could no longer cause any harm. In the sandstorm, Xia En took out a long breath and said with emotion: "I''m finally back." To be honest, the promotion ritual didnt take too long, only nearly three days in total. ? Converted to real-world time, its not even a minuteno matter how many times you experience it, this sense of difference in time flow is very strange. ?However, the ups and downs and thrills of this ritual are among the best that Xia En has experienced since traveling through time. ?Especially the conversation with Augustine and the process of deducing the secret technique through [Twilight Black Pearl] left a very deep impression on him. So much so that when I return to [Sand Island] now, I feel like I am in another world. ?Xia En calmed down and took a closer look at his condition. Not only was his body transformed again, he clearly felt that the secret power he could control, both in terms of quality and total quantity, had improved a lot compared to before. ??If we say that at the third level, the secret power that Xia En can call upon is a stream. ?So now, the stream has turned into a lake! What surprised Xia En the most was not these changes. But he discovered... My control over my physical body and mystical power has become more and more nuanced. If I want to use any strength, I will only use one point, no more, no less. ?This kind of control ability does not sound very useful, but in real battles, it can increase combat power by several levels. Reduce consumption, enhance the precision and hit rate of secret techniques... Perhaps, this huge improvement in overall quality is related to these factors. It turns out that this is the real fourth level. Xia En lowered his head, looked at his hands, and realized something in his mind: "At the fourth level, you begin to have meticulous control of the secret power." Only in this way can the mystics own domain be built at the fifth level. It seems that there is still a big difference between pirated copies and genuine copies. After using [Twilight Black Pearl], Xia En temporarily gained the fourth level of secret power. ?However, this power is obviously a bit flimsy and unstable, and is not as solid and powerful as Xia En''s fourth level at this time. Obviously, this is the difference between relying on external things and advancing on your own feet. When it comes to [Twilight Black Pearl], we have to mention one of the biggest gains from Seans ritual Great Dark Sky! ?This domain-based secret technique breaks the limitations of ordinary mystics, allowing Xia En to activate the power of the domain at the fourth level. ?This is also thanks to the [Book of Shadows] and his [Sword of Judgment]. ?It was based on the prototype of the field of [Judgment] that Xia En was able to deduce the secret technique of [Great Dark Sky]. All existences in the field will turn into Xia En''s help. Even the enemys secret power is no exception. ?Xia Ens original talents such as [Shadow Walking], [Super Speed ??Regeneration] and [Blood Power] will also receive great bonuses in the field. The fourth level is an important step for those on the secret path to become strong. ?Then, the fifth-order realm is a huge watershed. Therefore, in the Seven Seas, there are still rumors of Tier 3 Mysterians forcibly defeating Tier 4 Mysterians, but when Tier 4 Mysterians challenge Tier 5, they will basically end up losing. But I already have a realm at the fourth level...so how should I calculate it? Xia En raised the corner of his mouth, quite curious about his current combat power. ??If he were allowed to fight against his pre-promotion self, I''m afraid ten of him would not be his current opponent. This is the power of the field! ?Let his thoughts wander for a while, Xia En stretched out his hand, and the three trophies of the promotion ritual appeared in his hand one after another. Twilight Black PearlNeedless to say. What makes Xia En curious is the effect of this [Pirate Crown]. Pirate Crown (Broken) Quality: Epic Type: Relic Description: The royal crown created when the pirate principality was founded, carries part of Augustine''s majesty. Although it is broken, it still has some magical effects and is also a symbol of status. When wearing this royal crown, it will bring a certain degree of suppression to the secret travelers who are pirates. You can also roughly perceive the emotions and thoughts of pirates within a certain range nearby. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight! Can it bring pressure and be able to sense emotions and thoughts? Xia En touched his chin. These two effects are pretty good. ?Especially at sea, most of the enemies Xia En encountered were pirates. It would be great if they could be suppressed before the war started. The second ability is to collect intelligence at critical moments. The only problem is ?Xia En glanced at the crown with a slightly strange expression. No matter how you look at it, wearing it is a bit too conspicuous. Which normal person would wear a crown anytime and anywhere? I remember that in Lailas magic book, there seemed to be a spell similar to blindness? Xia En thought to himself: "Maybe we can let Joey try to disguise the crown." ??The last trophy that appeared in front of him was a wooden rudder, brown and black in color, classical in style, with some rough scratches on it. It is the steering wheel of the "Sky Serpent". Shanes hand gently touched the steering wheel. I dont know if it was his imagination, but the rudder of the ship was trembling slightly, as if in response to his touch. Soon, Xia En solemnly put it into the space ring. ?Although the hope is slim, Xia En still hopes that the [Sky Serpent] can one day wake up again. At this time, the sandstorm was still very big and it was difficult to identify the direction. Xia En simply sat down, silently absorbing the secret power of the sandstorm, and waiting for the sandstorm to subside. At the moment when the promotion ritual ends. Or many, many years ago. The deepest room of [Principal Treasure House]. ?The fire was beating in the fireplace, and the gramophone was playing his favorite songs for the owner. ?And the old man, who was a late hero, was curled up in his seat, as if he was half asleep. The next moment. A vast will came, and it also brought him a memory. He saw this room, saw the excited young man, and saw himself wearing the crown for him.?????Is this what it is? The old man opened his eyes and murmured. Existing in the past, future, and present at the same time...This is the real [secret sea]. But even so, do you still want me to believe in the possibility of the future? For a future that I can never see? What a cruel fate At this point, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the old man''s mouth, and the high-spirited self-confidence temporarily returned to him. But, so what? I am Augustine! ?The old man stood up, opened the door with a sudden stride, and walked out of the room. ?Although the old man''s war has failed, he still has unfinished missions in this era. An unknown island. ?The [Observer] wearing a single-sided spectacles seemed to have passed through an invisible door, stepped out, and landed on the ground of the island. As for "Tiffany" beside him, her appearance changed rapidly the moment she walked through the door, turning into a female researcher who was only 30% similar to Tiffany. [Observer] G09, are you okay? The female researcher looked at the [Observer] beside her and asked without any change in her expression. ?Her words seemed to be concerned, but there was no emotion in her tone, like an absolutely calm robot. The man in the white coat known as "[Observer] G09" frowned and murmured. DianaDianaDiana Who is she? Why cant I remember her? ??The more the man muttered to himself, the more painful and tangled the expression on his face became, and gradually, his expression took on a hint of madness and despair. It was like...the name itself was enough to drive him crazy. ?The female researcher still had no expression on her face, but coldly ordered: "[Observer] G09, recite the name of truth!" Hearing this, the man''s body stiffened suddenly, and then he spoke. Truth, I already know it! ?In the process of reading this sentence, the expression in the white coat quickly changed from crazy to calm, like a state of absolute rationality. ?This change is like going from one extreme to another. From a lava volcano that is about to boil, it has turned into an eternal ice of thousands of years. The man said coldly: "The abnormal memory has been deleted...the personality of [Observer] has been restored..." His tone when he said this was the same as that of the female researcher. Hoo! Immediately, [Observer] exhaled sharply, and his expression returned to its original state. He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What happened just now? Why was the self-protection mechanism suddenly triggered?" ?The female researcher said honestly: "We just escaped from a fourth-level promotion ritual in the [Secret Sea], and we may be facing the impact of [The Will of the Secret Sea]." "I see." Observerhad no doubt and nodded. The reaction speed of [Secret Sea Will] is 56% faster than last time. It seems that he is also constantly evolving in this regard. Fortunately, this time we did not return without success. ?He stretched out his hand, took out a blue light group, and said with a smile: "Counting the data I submitted, how far is [Augustine]''s collection progress?" Female researcher replied: 32.1% Observer''s eyes lit up: "Is it already over 30%?" So, can the plan be put into effect? ?The female researcher did not answer his question, but just said: "I can use the anchor point [Tiffany] up to 5 times." Five times? Thats not enough Observer sighed: "Her bloodline has been diluted too severely. You are already the highest among your generation, but the result is still limited." In fact. In real history, Tiffany was a member of the Truth Society, but she was not a traitor among the apostles. Its just that the [Truth Society] used special secret techniques and used descendants with Tiffanys blood as a medium to lock the anchor point of [Tiffany] for the [Observer], and then sneaked into the ritual. As for the origin of these Tiffany blood descendants, that is another story. At this time, the [Observer] secretly said to himself: "Is this really all that happened just now?" Why, I seem to remember a name ?He touched his chest, which felt inexplicably empty. Sand Island ?The strong wind gradually calmed down, and the yellow sand all over the sky began to fall. A thin layer of secret power barrier blocked the sand that fell on Xia En. This was not a secret technique, but the most basic control of the secret power. ??If it were Xia En who was before the fourth level, he might still need to concentrate and concentrate to do it. But now, this little trick can be easily done with just a little thought. Xia En casually dispersed the yellow sand around him and turned to look around. After the baptism of the sandstorm, all traces nearby were buried by the yellow sand. Xia En also had no way of knowing the direction from which he came. ?However, while waiting just now, he also sorted out his next three goals- Ann and Tracey. The Twilight of the Blood Tribe! Norwich Treasures! First of all, finding the two crew members who were separated from him is obviously a top priority. Secondly, before being promoted, Xia En was chased by Twilight all the way. ??Had he not happened to be helped by the natives of [Sand Island], there is no telling whether he would have been able to break into the sandstorm and escape! Xia En can''t bear it if this revenge is not avenged. Of course, Xia En doesnt think that after breaking through to the fourth level, he will be invincible and able to defeat that powerful vampire whose specific level is unknown. But under the special environment of this [Island of Sand], and with the blessings he received after being promoted to the fourth level, he did have the strength to fight. Not to mention defeating Twilight, there is always no problem in stumbling her secretly. As for the "Norwich Treasure", Shane really has a casual attitude. Everyone has come. ?The best you can get, even if you cant get it, you cant let Twilight get it! ?Moreover, Xia En thought about it carefully. ?Some time ago, he just witnessed Augustine in his youth, and visited the treasure house of the [Pirate Principality] in the promotion ritual. Now it is the [Norwich Treasure]... Are these three really just coincidences? Or is this a guide of fate? In any case, it is definitely true that this treasure is destined to him. The best way to know where the treasure is is to have some contact with the natives of [Sand Island]. After determining the priority of the matter, Shane stood up and prepared to find the separated An and Tracy based on his secret perception of the crew. However, as soon as he took two steps, Xia En''s expression changed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 209 【Saint of Sand】 Chapter 209 [Saint of Sand] Gululu As soon as Xia En took a few steps in the desert, a strong sense of hunger rose from his abdomen, almost swallowing up his sanity. ?Under the influence of hunger, the surrounding sand seems to have turned into some kind of delicacy, which has a strong attraction. Is this a side effect of [devouring evolution]? Xia En had a clear understanding in his heart. ?This hungry instinct may become the driving force for him to continue hunting deep-sea creatures. ?But now, Xia En can only take out some reserved dry food from the space ring and eat it wholeheartedly. ?As soon as he ate it, he realized the seriousness of the problem. ??After eating all the dry food, I was not even 10% full. ?His intestines and stomach seemed to have become a bottomless pit. No matter how much food he put in, there was no response. On the contrary, the hunger became more intense. Hiss... [Gluttony], so this is what it feels like? Xia En suddenly understood the feeling of getting on the steam turbine of the Black Swan and murmured to himself. From now on, be nicer to Xiaozhan In fact, there are many common ingredients in Xia Ens space ring, such as dried meat and dried fish. Most of the prey caught previously were placed in Fei Yas space ring. ?And a deep intuition told Xia En that what he wanted to eat now was stronger and more fresh meat! Shashashasha ?At this moment, a strange sound came from the desert not far away. Xia En turned around and looked. I saw the tall sand dune, as if it suddenly came to life, undulating and flowing like water. ?Seeing this strange scene, Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed, his eyes brightened. The preyhas found you! Relying on the talent of [Blood Power] and some strange instinct, he noticed that there was an extremely vigorous creature hiding under the sand dunes. The next moment. Sha En''s body was like an arrow leaving the string, heading straight for the sand dunes. ?At the same time, a **** sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed down with the sword! Boom! ?The wind howled, and the terrible air waves spread together with the yellow sand. The overall quality of 4.5 just after promotion is fully reflected in this sword. With just one strike of the sword, this tall sand dune was completely blown away, leaving only a gully tens of meters long. ?However, the prey hidden under the sand dunes disappeared, and only a few dark red blood stains remained in place. Hmph, he ran pretty fast. Xia En said, feeling the growing hunger in his belly. Today, I will defeat you! Somewhere in the desert. ??A girl in a yellow robe stood up from the sand, shook her body, and shook off the sand on her yellow robe. ?However, just such a simple action made the girl''s face turn pale. The cause was two gunshot wounds to her shoulder and lower abdomen. The secret power of the Vampire clan remained in the wound, constantly destroying her body. Before the sandstorm came, although she successfully injured the powerful outsider, she also attracted the other party''s revenge. ?That guy actually took the risk of being seriously injured and took action in the sandstorm, shooting himself twice. What a crazy woman! The girl cursed secretly: "Don''t let me meet you again, or I will shoot out your eyeballs!" Soon, another female native walked up to her and asked with concern. Saintess, are you okay? It can be heard that the language they use is still lingua franca, but the intonation and pronunciation are somewhat different from the current mainland lingua franca. ? ? is closer to the continental lingua franca of ancient times. The girl shook her head: "I''m fine." How are the others? The female native looked around and said: "Most of the people were lost in the sandstorm, and only three of us are still following you." Not long after, the remaining two natives came to the girl''s side, waiting for her next order. No matter what, lets go back to the tribe first. After thinking about it, the saint said: "With the guidance of the Lord of Radiance, they will find their way home." None of the three natives had any objections. However, just as they were about to leave, the female native''s expression changed slightly and she looked in a direction behind her. A strong vibration was coming from there. ?The sand in the desert surges like a wave, the sand dunes on the surface continue to squirm and deform, and streaks of smoke rise into the sky. Damn it, its a giant sandworm! Seeing this, the girl also changed her expression: "But at this time..." ??The giant sandworm is a special alienated creature in [Island of Sand], with a huge size, a powerful body, and a ferocious temperament. ?It is covered with a layer of hard armor, and can sneak into the sand sea at will and launch sneak attacks from under the desert. Even for the natives of [Sand Island], the giant sandworm is a very difficult enemy. Every year, many indigenous people die from the mouths of giant sandworms. In normal times, girls may not be afraid of it. But now, several companions were scattered, and she herself was seriously injured, so she could not use her best bow skills. Facing the giant sandworm, I''m afraid it will be a disaster! The three natives around her quickly realized the urgency of the situation, and the female native immediately said: "Holy Lady, you go first!" Were here to wean you off! The girl bit her lip and said with determination, "No!" We, the Yongyue clan, have never had a precedent of a saint abandoning her fellow clan members and running away. As she spoke, she pulled out the dark yellow long bow from the mark on her chest, preparing to face the rolling yellow sand coming in this direction. The eyes of the three natives were moved. They said nothing more and just silently guarded the girl. As the giant sandworm moved, a small sandstorm swept over. Not only that, the desert beneath the four people''s feet seemed to have turned into a quicksand whirlpool, pulling them down towards the center of the whirlpool. Ordinary people cannot stand firmly on this kind of ground and will be swallowed up by quicksand in an instant. The four of them are residents of the [Sand Island] after all. They have long adapted to the desert environment, so naturally they will not be panicked by this. The girl opened her eyes wide, trying to find the figure of the giant sandworm in the yellow sand. In her current state, she can only shoot one more arrow at most. She must kill this sandworm with this arrow! At this time. The quicksand beneath his feet suddenly spurted upward, and an extremely ugly head emerged from under the desert. Rather than a "head", it is more like the end of several large split mouths, like a blooming flower of flesh and blood, filled with densely packed sharp teeth. ?The brain, eyes, nose, ears...these organs simply do not exist in this ugly sandworm. In an instant, the girl opened her eyes wide, drew her long bow, and was about to shoot into the mouthparts of the sandworm. The three natives also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, preparing to block the sandworm''s mouth with their bodies. What the four of them didnt expect was. ??The giant sandworm had no desire to attack them. It just took a deep breath and then plunged into the quicksand. Until the sandworm''s body was completely submerged in the desert, several natives were still in a daze. ??Macrophago sandworms are cruel and extremely aggressive. Seeing a group of them alone, there is no reason not to launch an attack? Whats going on? The female native looked confused and asked, "Doesn''t this sandworm dislike us?" Another native guessed: "Is it coming out of the desert just to get air?" ??The girl recalled the actions of the sandworm, feeling a bit hasty and panicked for no reason, and couldn''t help but murmured: "Why do I feel...it seems to be running away?" Is there something chasing it? The female native''s heart skipped a beat. ?This giant sandworm alone is already an enemy they cannot deal with. What kind of existence can make the sandworm flee in panic? The girl breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, we are safe, for now..." Before she could finish her words, suddenly, another gust of wind howled past them. Why is it coming again! Hasnt the sandstorm subsided yet? The girl turned her head and was about to protect her body with her yellow robe, but her pupils suddenly narrowed.?????Because she saw ?In the center of the sandstorm caused by the strong wind, there was a figure, running towards him at an extremely fast speed. In other words, it was the arrival of that person that caused this sandstorm! How is it possible? It''s just that the man in the sandstorm didn''t notice the existence of these four people at this time. All he could see was the plump and attractive sandworm. ?This strong wind comes and goes away just as quickly. ?The four people in the group saw that the strong wind was heading straight towards the sandworm. ?And very quickly, a **** sword light instantly spanned a hundred meters and fell directly into the desert. The entire desert seemed to have become quiet because of this sword. Immediately afterwards, the sand sea began to shake - it was the giant sandworms struggling desperately underground. ?A large amount of yellow sand was thrown into the air and fell down in a swirl. ??The unlucky group of four happened to be within the range of this yellow sand, so naturally they couldn''t escape. Not long. The girl crawled out of the sand with difficulty and took two quick "poohs". In the situation just now, even she couldn''t help but eat several mouthfuls of sand. The girl rubbed her shoulder. The wound seemed to hurt a little more, and she couldn''t help but muttered. Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky My luck today seems to be really not very good. Just as she was muttering in a low voice, she suddenly smelled a unique smell of meat and couldn''t help but swallow lightly. ?She went out in a hurry today and hadn''t had a full lunch yet. ?The girl looked in the direction of the scent, but couldn''t help being stunned. Only seen in the lee of the sand dunes not far away. A man was sitting by a campfire, on which a grill had been set up. There is a large ball of milky white meat on the grill. As it is constantly turned and grilled, the meat is fragrant and gradually takes on a golden color. What really surprised the girl was that next to the man, there was a fat sandworm corpse. It is the giant sandworm that was raging before! Is it him? After seeing the other persons face, the girl thought for a moment and quickly remembered the young mans identity. ??Isn''t this the outsider who was chased by that crazy woman? But he didnt seem so strong before? Are you hiding your strength? The girl guessed in her heart: "The adults in the clan have said that outsiders are very insidious and cunning, good at hiding their own strength, and full of bad intentions." Thats right, this guy should be that kind of person! ?Thinking of this, the girl looked at the young man with alert eyes. Inexplicably, another thought flashed through her mind But this guy is pretty good-looking ??Bah, bah, bah! Whats the use of looking good! After all, he is just a despicable outsider! While the girl''s thoughts were rising and falling, the three natives who followed her also crawled out of the sand. Soon, they also spotted the young man enjoying the feast beside the sand dune, and couldn''t help but look wary. The female native approached the girl''s ear and asked softly: "Holy Lady, what should we do now?" Do you want to take action? The girl shook her head: "We are not his opponent." Even the giant sand-devouring sandworm will die without any suspense. With their current combat power, they will die if they attack. The female native asked again: "Then...do you want to escape?" The girl''s face was a little bitter. When dealing with sandworms earlier, the man did not pay attention to them. But now, she clearly felt that the young man''s eyes fell on them from time to time, and he had obviously discovered them. In this desert without any obstacles, once you escape, it is only a matter of time before you are caught. Can''t fight but can''t fight, can''t escape but can''t escape. ?This is the reason why the girl is in trouble. After hesitating for a moment, the girl gritted her teeth and said, "Let''s go directly and ask him what he wants!" At least I helped him just now, but at worst Ill have to fight him. The three of them wanted to persuade, but they couldn''t think of any better way for a while, so they could only follow the girl towards the young man. However, the closer they got to the young man, the stronger the smell of meat became, and it also carried a strange fragrance that they had never smelled before. ?The girl suppressed her greed and asked with a straight face: "Hey, outsider over there, you..." ?Shaan held up a bunch of fragrant roasted sandworm meat and asked, "Want to eat it?" "ah?" The girl was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" You want to use it to bribe me? I, Sha Jingjing, cant just use a skewer of barbecue... Gulu The sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis coming from the girl''s belly interrupted her vowed words. Even though most of her face was covered by the robe, the slightly red skin on her neck still showed her uneasy mood. Ahem. ?Xia En coughed twice and said calmly. You really dont want to eat it? Think of it as my repayment of your kindness with that arrow. With his current perception, he naturally heard the conversation between Sha Jingjing and the other natives, and also recognized the identity of the other party. In the mouth of the vampire Twilight, it seems to be called Saint of the Sand! ? Such an opportunity to establish good relations with the indigenous people, of course, Xia En would not miss it. ?This is how this conversation took place. Hmph, dont underestimate me! You outsiders are so cunning and insidious that you must have poisoned this barbecue! Sha Jingjing said with dignity: "Even if I, Sha Jingjing, starve to death, I will not eat anything from you!" Xia En sighed: "Oh, that''s a pity, these spices are all good things." Let alone the [Island of Sand], you cant even buy it from the islands under the general federal government. Speaking, Xia En started to eat happily. Spice? What is that? Sha Jingjing smelled the pleasant fragrance and couldn''t help but ask the people next to her. The female native next to him replied in a low voice: "It is said to be something that makes food taste better. It seems to be more valuable than gold outside the island!" "Saint, this guy doesn''t seem to have been poisoned..." Sand crystals and brain melon seeds turn around. ??If the outsider wanted to kill her, he wouldn''t be able to escape anyway. If he ate an extra piece of barbecue before dying, wouldn''t he have made money for himself? ??If an outsider doesn''t want to kill her and eats a few pieces of barbecue for free, isn''t it just for herself? ?After thinking about this clearly, the girl''s thinking suddenly became more open-minded. ?She stretched out her hand and said generously: "Give me a bunch!" After a while. Sha Jingjing was holding a piece of barbecue, her mouth was full of oil as she ate it, like a little tabby cat. Hmm, it smells so good! ?However, Xia Ens attention fell on Sha Jingjings head, which had taken off its hood. ?There, a pair of furry dog ??ears stood erect, as if they were always listening to the goings-on around them. The true identity of this [Sand Saint] is actually a demi-human! ? Not only that, the three natives next to him also have similar characteristics. At this moment, Sha Jingjing said: "Don''t get me wrong, we are not the sub-humans you outsiders call us." But the noble Moon-Yong clan! (End of this chapter) Chapter 210 【Yueyue Clan】 Chapter 210 [Yueyong Clan] Yongyue Clan? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment when he heard this unfamiliar name. ?Nowadays, he is no longer the short-sighted foreigner he was at the beginning of the time travel. He is already familiar with many rumors about the Seven Seas. ??But after searching all the memories, Xia En could not find any information related to the [Yongyue Clan]. Could it be said that this race specifically refers to the indigenous people on [Sand Island]? Xia En guessed in his mind while continuing to observe Sha Jingjing and the three natives. Its not difficult to see. ??If the [Yingyue Tribe] is a type of demi-human, then it is probably more likely to have the blood of canines such as wolves and dogs. Hunter ears, slightly thicker hair on the cheeks, and a tail behind the back. Although the tail is obscured by the yellow robe, when Sha Jingjing eats meat, it is obvious that the robe is held up and then swung from side to side. on the other hand. The hair color of the three indigenous people tends to be brown or gray-black. ?Sand Jingjings hair is light silver, giving people a noble and pure feeling. ?Perhaps, this is the reason why Sha Jingjing became the [Sand Saint]. ?However, observation is observation, and Xia En has not forgotten his most important task now - Fill your belly! ?Just after his promotion, he was already very hungry, and he also spent a lot of energy chasing down the giant sandworms. ??The empty stomach and intestines have long been protesting to Xia En. ?So at this time, he didn''t care what Sha Jingjing and others thought, and officially started to feast. ?This kind of giant sandworm looks ugly and ferocious, but it tastes quite good. The meat is plump and sweet, and it has a crispy texture after being roasted. Its a bit like salmon, but also a bit like premium wagyu. ?Just eating it on an empty stomach, it tastes great. Coupled with the seasonings carried in Xia Ens space ring, it is enough to be called delicious! Whats even more valuable is that sandworm meat contains a lot of energy. Ordinary people may eat one or two pieces, but they will be too full to eat anything. ??But considering Xia Ens current appetite, this giant sandworm that is more than ten meters long seems to be nothing? At the beginning, Sha Jingjing secretly wanted to compete with Xia En to see who could eat more. But it didnt take long. ?She was so full that she burped and couldn''t stuff it in even if she wanted to. ?Looking at Xia En, the action of grilling and eating meat was smooth and smooth, without any pause. Sha Jingjing and the four of them almost watched helplessly as the hill-like sandworm meat next to them became smaller and smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slowly but surely entered the outsider''s belly. At the end, Sha Jingjing couldn''t help but stare at Xia En like a monster. She really couldn''t figure out how this man could eat the flesh of a sandworm that was several times larger than himself. ??Moreover, the weirdest thing is that after eating, Xia En''s belly was only slightly bulging, and there were not many traces visible. Where is that much sandworm meat? Where have they all gone? ?However, after witnessing Xia Ens appetite with their own eyes, the eyes of the four of them, Sha Jingjing, towards him also changed subtly. ?In the understanding of the simple indigenous people, food intake is a symbol of strength! Xia Ens appetite is so exaggerated, which means that his strength can only be described as unfathomable. ?Xia En took a long breath and showed a satisfied smile. Finally Im 80% full. At this moment, he truly understood the power of the talent [Swallowing Evolution]. Shaan can clearly feel The abdomen is warm, as if it has turned into a furnace, digesting the food just eaten at an incredible speed, converting the food into energy, and transmitting it to all parts of the body. This energy is subtly transforming Xia En''s body. It is like soaking in a hot spring, indescribably comfortable and comfortable. Comprehensive quality: 4.54.51! Seeing this line of prompts, Xia En''s eyes opened slightly. Even though this increase is only 0.01, you must know that the increase that Xia En received from an extreme cold storm in the past was only 0.1! Now, just eating a big meal can make you stronger! ?It may not be obvious in a short period of time, but over time, the growth will definitely be considerable. Furthermore, the giant sandworm we ate this time was not a marine creature ?The more Xia En thought about it, the more excited he became: "If you hunt sea monsters in the deep sea, there will be a 10 times bonus." At this moment, a few lines of text appeared in his mind. You swallowed the "Macrophagic Sandworm"! Talent "Swallowing Evolution" is activated! You can choose the direction of evolution from the following three talents. 1. Hard Carapace (Normal) (Talent obtained after strengthening "Hardened Skin") 2. Mucus secretion (inferior) 3.Heat resistance (inferior) "Um?" ??Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Is this the second effect of [Swallowing Evolution]?" ?From this point of view, there is still a big difference between the talent of [Swallowing Evolution] and the way of acquiring abilities by absorbing [Secret Sea Crystal]. The biggest difference is that [Swallowing Evolution] can independently choose the direction of evolution. ??Moreover, judging from option 1, it seems that it can also be upgraded and transformed based on the old talent. ?Talents such as [Hardened Epidermis] are among the first abilities that Xia En acquired. Just because the effect is very tasteless, the sense of presence is always very low. After thinking for a moment, Xia En quickly chose the third talent. Heat resistance ?With his current physique, a layer of carapace randomly generated may not be as tough as his skin. Option 2 is useless no matter how you look at it. ??Moreover, these two talents seem to bring about some inhuman changes to one''s body... After weighing the pros and cons, Xia En had no choice but to choose the [Heat Resistance] talent, which might be useful. Not only can it adapt to the special environment of [Sand Island]. Perhaps it can be upgraded again in the future, which will also make it easier to get along with crew member Yan Yan. After thinking about it, Xia En felt that his body seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. A gust of hot wind blew, and it seemed that it was no longer so hot. After doing all this, Xia En turned to look at the four natives and said, "My companions and I were separated in the desert." As the indigenous people of this island, do you have any way to find others in the desert? Although he has certain confidence in An''s strength, anything can happen on this [Sand Island]. Not to mention, there is also Tracy who is stained with some bad luck. It would be best to join them as soon as possible. Sha Jingjing frowned and said, "Yes, yes, but why should I help you?" Shaan pointed to the wooden stick on the ground: "For the sake of these barbecues?" Hearing this, Sha Jingjings face turned slightly red. ??It does seem a bit unkind to eat his barbecue meal for nothing? ?But then I thought about it, these cunning outsiders have killed countless of their own people, and they dont need to talk about morality! Thinking of this, Sha Jingjing suddenly puffed up her chest confidently. Im not that easy to buy! Shaan sighed and said, "What about this?" Speaking, he took out a [Hui Jiao Amulet] and activated it. A gentle and bright light group immediately appeared around him. To be honest, Xia En didnt really want to use the [Hui Jiao Amulet] at first. Not only because of the complex senses I have for the Lord of Radiance, but also because of the encounters during this promotion ritual. During the conversation with Augustine, Sean learned the origin and purpose of [Evil Siming]. That is an alien **** from the [Secret Sea]. ?As far as Xia En knows, this Lord of Billions of Glory is also an alien **** from outside this world! ??And so far, Xia En doesnt know the purpose of the Lord of Billions of Lights extending his touch into this world. He is present in [Coral City]; Blood Moon Secret Realmis connected with Him; Even on the current [Island of Sand], there are still His followers. ?Compared to [Husi Ming] who caused the great flood, the Lord of Billions of Glorys presence is not strong, but he seems to be everywhere. ?Like the sun above your head emitting infinite rays of light. Xia En inevitably felt a little afraid of him in his heart. ?But at this time, using the [Hui Jiao Amulet] is undoubtedly the fastest way to gain the trust of the indigenous people. As expected. The moment she saw this light group, Sha Jingjing''s eyes immediately changed and she murmured. Why is this power... so similar to the Lord of Radiance? resemblance? Xia En''s heart moved. ??In Sha Jingjings opinion, the divine power of Lord Hui is not in this state? At this time, Sha Jingjing stared at Xia En and asked, "Who are you?" Xia En chuckled and said, "My name is Xia En." Who I am is actually not that important, but please believe that I am not your enemy. ?Maybe it was the result of the roasted sandworm meat earlier, or maybe it was the effect of the [Hui Jiao Amulet], Sha Jingjing said after thinking for a while. Well, since you are also a subject of Lord Hui, I can help you find your companions. But you have to tell metheir real names. ??Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What''s your real name?" Since ancient times, names have possessed unique and mysterious power. ?Especially the true name engraved deep in the soul, for some beings, it is more like a "vital gate" and a "vital" thing. But then I thought about it. ?Since he hopes Sha Jingjing can trust him, he must trust the other party first. Do not use the person you doubt, and do not doubt the person you employ. ?Thinking of this, Shane also said directly: "My companion''s name is...Ann Duarte Karloff." "OK." Sha Jingjing nodded and then closed her eyes. Soon, a small silver crescent appeared between her eyebrows. Immediately afterwards, layers of faint silver light emerged from the girl''s body, adding a bit of holy and noble temperament to her. It wasn''t long before Sha Jingjing came out of this mysterious state and looked at Xia En suspiciously. Are you sure thats the name? Or are you saying that you cant trust me and just chose a random name to test me? At least I cant find this person on [Sand Island]. "Um?" Xia En was startled for a moment. ?This was the name An said when he swore allegiance to himself, and of course he would remember it correctly. So now, there are only two possibilities. Either, An encountered some kind of accident, or, this name...is not An''s real name! Xia En prefers the latter in his heart. According to An, he was adopted by an old couple. Perhaps his current name was given at that time. Before that, he should have a real name of his own. ?So, Shane said again: "Where is Tracy?" Try it with the name Tracey. After a moment, Sha Jingjing said: Found it! Follow me. Speaking, Sha Jingjing took Xia En and walked in one direction of the desert. Just as we walked in that direction, Sha Jingjings expression became weirder. ??The natives behind her couldn''t help but whisper: "Holy Lady, aren''t you heading in the direction of the tribe?" Sha Jingjing was also very confused and lowered her voice: "I know!" "But his companion seems to be in our tribe..." ?Shaan: ??They thought their voices had been kept very low, but they couldn''t hide it from Xia En''s hearing, and he could hear them clearly. ?However, although this information surprised Xia En, he had originally planned to visit the gathering place of the indigenous people, which could be regarded as saving a lot of time. By the time we were about to arrive at the indigenous tribe, it was already getting dark. Similar to other desert environments in the world, [Sand Island] has a huge temperature difference between day and night. ?At this moment, a cold wind blew, enough to make most people shiver. The four of them, Sha Jingjing and others, had already wrapped their robes tightly. Only then did Xia En realize that the robes they wore looked tattered, but in fact they were things that contained extraordinary and mysterious power, as if they had received some kind of blessing or blessing. Obviously, although the lifestyle of the indigenous people is backward, they still found ways to adapt to the harsh environment of the island. The indigenous tribe is located in a valley. On both sides are rocky mountain walls. ?At this distance, Xia En also vaguely noticed the connection with An, and couldn''t help but feel relieved. At this time. Sha Jingjing threw a yellow robe over and said, "Put it on." Our family has always been xenophobic. If I see your face, even if I protect you, you might get into trouble. Xia En knew that she meant well and was not pretentious. He put on his robe directly and followed the girl. Its strange to say. Xia En originally thought that the robe would have a strange smell - after all, in this water-scarce environment, it is difficult to keep oneself clean, and it is normal to have a slight smell of sweat. But surprisingly, the robe was very clean and exuded an indescribable smell. Xia En didnt think much and quickly followed Sha Jingjing and the others into the valley. Its the Holy Lady! The Holy Lady is back! ?Seeing Sha Jingjing taking off her hood, the natives in the tribe immediately smiled, which shows her prestige. A little girl walked up to Sha Jingjing, opened her arms, and said with a smile: "Sister Saint, give me a hug!" Okay! Sha Jingjing hugged the little girl and spun her around several times, making her giggle. At this time, an old man from the Yongyue tribe with gray fur came over. The little girl was frightened when she saw him, and hid behind Sha Jingjing, not daring to show her head. Sha Jingjings expression also became serious, and she said respectfully: High Priest, Im back. Its good that the saint can come back safely. The old man''s cloudy eyes swept behind Sha Jingjing, and he spoke hoarsely. But why do you smell like an outsider on your body? (End of this chapter) Chapter 211 Reunion with An, [Moonlight Boat] Chapter 211 Reunion with An, [Moonlight Boat] As soon as the high priest said these words, the valley suddenly became quiet. Among the indigenous tribes, the authority of the high priest is higher than that of the saint. What he said was obviously not without purpose. The little girl who asked for a hug earlier didnt know why. She looked at Sha Jingjing curiously and asked, Yes, Sister Saint, you seem to have a special smell today. Its weird and fragrant, and it seems to have the smell of meat! This is because the smell of barbecue has not dissipated from Sha Jingjing. ?However, the little girls words did not improve the weird atmosphere in the valley. ??The high priest and several natives still stared at Sha Jingjing and his group with scrutinizing eyes, especially staying on Xia En for a long time. Seeing this, Xia En frowned and planned to show off his cards to the natives. Having this relationship with the Lord of Light, he is not very afraid of the natives of [Sand Island]. And based on the aura shown by the high priest, the other party may not be his opponent. Just at this moment, Sha Jingjing took a step forward and said, "I did encounter a group of outsiders in the desert before." One of them was an extremely dangerous mad woman with long black hair and a bewitching appearance. She killed several of our compatriots and left two gunshot wounds on my body. Speaking, Sha Jingjing pointed to her shoulders and lower abdomen. ?Although the wound there has stopped bleeding, there is still a cold secret power that is still destroying her body. Sister Saint, it turns out you are injured! ?Seeing Sha Jingjings wound, the little girl immediately expressed worry: The injury must be treated quickly. Other natives also made a small uproar. They have great confidence in their own saint, but even she suffered such an injury, which shows how powerful the outsider is. At this time, Xia En noticed... The situation of the indigenous people in the valley is actually not good. Many people had injuries of various sizes. ??Some people had red eyes and looked sad, as if they had just cried. ?Xia En thought about it for a moment and understood the reason behind this situation. As the news of the "Norwich Treasure" spreads across the seven seas, the number of parties going to the "Island of Sand" to hunt for the treasure must be gradually increasing. Coupled with the naturally antagonistic relationship between outsiders and indigenous people. Even if the natives are naturally adapted to the environment of the Sand Island, they will inevitably suffer casualties under the waves of attacks from outsiders. This is why there is such a negative and pessimistic atmosphere. When the others come back, gather all the injured together, and I will hold the [Moon Chanting Ceremony]. Sha Jingjing said to the high priest: "Please help me prepare, high priest." The high priest opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed and said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Holy Lady." Before preparing to turn around and leave, the high priest added. By the way, we also captured a strange prisoner. Its up to the Holy Lady to decide how to deal with him. Hearing this, Sha Jingjing became a little nervous and cautiously glanced at Xia En behind her. She was well aware of her people''s hatred of outsiders. ??Wouldnt the situation be very bad if they had already attacked Xia Ens companions? Thinking of this, Sha Jingjing immediately asked the little girl: "Ayi, where is the prisoner? Take me to see him." Soon, led by the little girl named "Ayi", the group of people arrived at a corner of the valley. A heavy metal armor was sitting there quietly. Sister Saint, its him. Ayi murmured in a low voice: "However, he doesn''t seem to be a bad person. He helped us fight off many outsiders before and saved a few brothers and sisters." Also, he is mute and cannot speak. I dont recognize the writing on the sand either Click! ?After a few people approached, the silent armored weirdo quickly stood up and turned his head to look at Xia En, who was not far away. Such a sudden change shocked Ayi and she quickly hid behind Sha Jingjing. Judging from appearance alone, Ans image is quite intimidating. Sha Jingjing rubbed Ayi''s little head: "You go and stay aside for a while. I have something to say to this guy." Eh? Ayi obviously had many questions to ask, but he was quickly taken away by the three natives. At this moment, Xia En could not help but look at An with surprise. There is no other reason. He clearly felt that An''s aura was stronger than before when they parted. ?If he guessed correctly, this means... An has broken through to the third level and became the second third-level crew member on the [Black Swan]! ??Although this promotion speed is much slower than that of Xia En, among ordinary mystics, it can only be described as "progress by leaps and bounds". Is this a peculiarity of the elfs physique? Or is [Knight''s] secret method working again? ?However, Xia En is more concerned about... An, are you not injured? Also, where is Tracey? Captain Shane, Im here At this time, a weak voice sounded from behind An. I saw a faint green light shining on the armor, and Fairy Tracey floated feebly. She seemed to have used some special spell to temporarily blend into the armor''s surface. ??The reason why she didn''t hide directly in the gap in the armor was obviously because the series of "bad luck" encounters before had left a lot of psychological shadow on Tracy. ?Shane was slightly relieved to see that Tracy was okay. But suddenly, he found that An''s body was shaking slightly, and there seemed to be suppressed sobs coming from under the armor. Xia En''s expression immediately changed: "An, what''s wrong? What happened?" Tracy said next to her: "In order to reduce the burden, An threw away all the cardboard on which he wrote. Let me express what he meant." Hearing this, An''s body suddenly stiffened. But at this time, Tracy had already spoken: "An was thinking just now... that she would never see the captain again." Its great to see the captain safe and sound. Xia En was startled for a moment. He didn''t expect that An would be so excited about this matter. But when I thought about it, it seemed that this was really the first time the two of them had been separated for such a long time after An pledged her allegiance to him. ?Especially when I met Twilight, the situation was indeed more dangerous than ever before. ?However, in Xia En''s impression, An has always been calm and reserved, rarely showing any emotions. ?Now it seems that it was the [Aphasia Curse] and this armor that hindered the expression of his emotions. Hearing these words, An stared at Tracy, her eyes pleading and shook her head. Tracey seemed unaware and continued: "An also wants to say, who is this female aborigine?" "Why does the captain seem to have a good relationship with her? It makes me a little uncomfortable..." Hiss, shouldnt I say this? ?Shaan: ?Sha Jingjing: Xia En glanced at An silently. Although he couldn''t see his expression clearly, he could more or less feel his shame and anger at this time. Looking at that posture, if there was a crack in the ground, An might have gotten through it! ??Xia En was considerate and did not pursue the matter further. He just coughed twice, stopping Tracey from continuing to express her reassurance, and said. This is the [Sand Saint] from [Sand Island], Sand Jingjing. Thanks to her, I was able to find you. Then, Xia En turned to Sha Jingjing and said, "Thank you very much for what happened just now." Sha Jingjing could of course reveal Xia En''s identity in front of the high priest, but she chose to hide it for herself. Just think of it as repaying your favor for those skewers of barbecued meat. Sha Jingjing waved her hand and said openly. But at the same time, her eyes were fixed on the floating Tracy: "By the way, what is this little guy?" Could it be...the legendary goblin? ??Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever heard of goblins?" ?This incident is indeed surprising. Not to mention this desolate island covered with yellow sand, even if it is an island under the federal government, not many residents have heard of goblins. "yes." Sha Jingjing said frankly: "According to the knowledge passed down by the saints of the previous generation, it seems that a long time ago, [Sand Island] was not like this." There are not only forests and grasslands, but also clear rivers. There are many magical animals living on the island, including fairies! ?Shaan was a little surprised. Was the former [Island of Sand] such a vibrant island? But how did it get to its current state? Xia En expressed his doubts by the way, and Sha Jingjing said directly: "If you ask me, I don''t know." Anyway, [Sand Island] has been like this since I can remember it. Come on, little fairy, let my sister touch you. With that said, Sha Jingjing stretched out her claws towards Tracy. Tracey wailed: "Captain, save me!" Shaan chose to sit on the sidelines. After all, if you really think about it, the reason why they are in danger on [Sand Island] is most likely because this little goblin got into An''s armor without authorization. ?However, before Sha Jingjing and Tracy had been playing around for long, there was a noise outside the valley. I saw a native man covered in blood staggering in. Holy Lady, High Priest! Our tribe is besieged by outsiders, please provide support quickly! The high priest asked with a serious face: "Who are the outsiders, and what are their number and strength?" ??The injured native gasped and replied: "There are about thirty or forty people. They seem to have the ability to control blood. We are no match at all." Furthermore, those outsiders are extremely hostile to us and have no intention of leaving us alive. The power of blood The high priest looked gloomy: "They are those beasts of the vampire race!" Have even the [Island of Sand] begun to be invaded by them? Fighters who can still fight, all go board the [Moonlight Ship]! At this time, Sha Jingjing also rushed to the high priest''s side. Hearing this, he couldn''t help but frown slightly: "There are still many people whose injuries have not been healed." Would it be too hasty to go to war now? The high priest shook his head: "There is no time." I know the ways of those vampire beasts. There is a deep hatred between them and us [Yongyue Clan] that cannot be resolved. "If we go too late, the whole tribe will be wiped out." Sha Jingjing murmured: "A vampire..." ??Although she didn''t know much about this race, for some reason, when she mentioned this name, a strange feeling of disgust always appeared in her heart. Is this really a feud engraved deep in the blood? She thought for a moment and said, "High Priest, I understand." In that case, Ill just hold the [Moon Chanting Ceremony] on the [Moonlight Boat]. Although the effect will be a little worse, it can at least treat some injuries. The high priest nodded and said, "Then I''ll leave it to you." Not long after, Sha Jingjing led a group of natives out of the valley. To her surprise, Xia En and Ann also followed. ...Wont you take this opportunity to leave? Xia En said bluntly: "To be honest, we also have a lot of grudges against the vampires." The woman named Twilight is a member of the Vampire Clan. If its convenient, you might as well take us for a ride. Sha Jingjing nodded heavily: "That would be great." She has seen Xia En''s strength. If Xia En is willing to take action, many people may not die in this battle. Soon, Xia En saw what the natives called the "moonlight boat". This is a large ship docked behind the sand dunes. The sails on the ship are as worn as the yellow robes worn by the natives. ?Looks like it''s old and weathered. However, there is a silver-gray pattern on its hull, which is not as precise as a magic pattern. Rather, its more like some kind of primitive totem texture, which inexplicably gives people a savage and ancient feeling. This is [Moonlight Ship]? Xia En was secretly surprised: "But how is it going to start?" ??The lower part of this [Moonlight Boat] was mostly submerged in the sand, like a whale stranded on the beach, unable to move. ?But now that the situation was urgent, he couldn''t ask further questions, so he just got on the boat with other natives. Brother, you are from outside the island, right? ?At this moment, a low, crisp voice sounded next to Xia En. "Um?" ?Xia En turned his head to look and couldn''t help but frown. ?The person talking next to him was the little indigenous girl, Ayi. But such a little girl is not ready to go to the battlefield yet, right? Ayi grinned and said, "Brother, don''t underestimate me. I am a candidate saint in the tribe." Ive already been on the battlefield a long time ago! Candidate Saint? ?Shaan is a little curious about this term. Those who have been recognized by the Lord of Radiance like my sister are the real [Sand Saints]. "But if my sister dies, it will be our turn to be the candidate for the saint." Ayi said calmly: "In [Sand Island], saints are actually more likely to die in battle than other members of the same race..." "Since I was born, I have met five saints. Maybe...it will be my turn next." ?These plain words faintly revealed a corner of the cruel truth of [Island of Sand]. ?Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. Soon, Sha Jingjing walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the sky with a pious expression. A full moon is hanging there quietly. "I offer this body to the Lord, and may the glory be with me..." ?As Sha Jingjing chanted in a low voice, the moonlight poured down like water and fell on the "Moonlight Boat". At this moment, Xia En suddenly came to his senses. He finally realized where the previous strange feeling came from In the eyes of the [Moon Yong Tribe], the Lord of billions of radiance is not the brilliant and blazing sun, but this cold moon! (End of this chapter) Chapter 212 Absorb [Moonlight Essence], the prophesied Holy Son Chapter 212 Absorbing [Moonlight Essence], the prophesied Holy Son Above the sea of ??sand. ?The moonlight is like a dream and fog, weaving into a beautiful picture. With Sha Jingjings prayer, the moonlight in the sky seemed to come alive, gathering closer and closer to the [Moonlight Boat]. The totem-like lines on the hull gradually light up. In an instant, mysterious power flowed throughout the ship. ??The moonlight spread over the deck, over the side of the ship, over the mast, and finally spread along the lonely mast, intertwining into a huge sail like gauze and mist. Moonlight Boatsets sail in this vast sea of ??sand! Shasha The sound of grinding gravel replaced the sound of waves. ?Xia En looked down and found that the sand in contact with the bottom of the hull suddenly softened, like quicksand, allowing the Moonlight Boat to ride on the sand sea. This is probably the effect of the totem textures on the ship''s hull being activated. Xia En turned to look at the natives again, and saw that they all looked normal, no one was surprised. Obviously, they have taken this magical ship more than once. Brother, isnt our [Moonlight Ship] powerful? Whenever a tribe asks for help, each tribe will send a [moonlight boat] for support. Next to him, Ayi said in a showy tone: "This is a ship that only saints and saint candidates can sail. Maybe I can be its captain in the future!" Xia En sincerely praised: "It''s really amazing." ?This was the first time he had seen a ship like this that could travel on land. ?Furthermore, judging from the speed at which the scenery on both sides recedes, the speed of the [Moonlight Ship] is quite considerable, no slower than ordinary sea-going ships. ?But soon, Xia En noticed that Sha Jingjings movements did not stop. ??The [Sand Saint] of the Moon-Singing Tribe stood in the middle of the deck, looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and spoke a strange and ancient language in her mouth. Then she began to dance in the moonlight. ?That is definitely not an elegant court dance, let alone a performance dance that appears in the theater. It is a sacrificial dance. ?Her movements are primitive, ancient and barbaric, but they have an indescribable charm and beauty, as if they complement the falling moonlight. In a trance, in Xia En''s eyes, the person dancing in the moonlight was no longer a girl, but a giant silver-white wolf! Ayi looked at Sha Jingjing with reverence and murmured. This is the [Moon Chanting Ceremony] ?Her expression was very longing, but inexplicably, Xia En could hear a touch of sadness in her tone. Not long after, Xia En frowned slightly. He noticed that as the [Moon Chanting Ceremony] progressed, Sha Jingjing''s face became paler. Her life force seemed to be draining away. The essence of this ceremony is actually sacrifice. Now it seems that what it sacrifices is the life force of the saint. Xia En understood something in his heart: "No wonder the natives have this attitude towards the saint..." The next moment. Sha Jingjing looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. ??The rest of the Yongyue tribe also howled at the moon, with an indescribable sadness and desolation in their long howls. At this time, the moonlight from high places became more and more solid, as if it was constantly condensing. Finally turned into a mysterious silvery liquid. This is the essence of moonlight. It can not only heal wounds, but also make our physical body stronger. Ayi explained in a low voice. But not long after, a look of doubt appeared on her little face. Eh? Why is there so much moon essence today? ?In mid-air, the volume of silver-white liquid did not slow down at all, and soon it reached the size of a small pool. In normal times, one [Moon Chanting Ceremony] can obtain a large bowl of moon essence, which is considered very efficient. ?Not only Ayi, but other indigenous people also discovered the abnormality of this ceremony and couldn''t help but be a little surprised. ?Sha Jingjings eyes flashed with surprise. No matter what, it is always a good thing to get more Moon Essence. Perhaps the Lord of Radiance is moved by my sincerity and is willing to give more gifts! ?However, as soon as Sha Jingjing came up with this idea, she realized that the ball of moonlight essence above her head suddenly seemed to have its own consciousness and was not under her control. Not only that, even the misty moonlight seemed to be inspired by another existence and no longer lingered around her. Whats going on? Sha Jingjing suddenly panicked. This was the first time she encountered this situation. In the inheritance of saints throughout the ages, it has never been said that such an abnormal situation would occur. Sha Jingjing turned her head to look in the direction where the moonlight was flowing, and couldn''t help but be stunned. ??The moonlight, like flowing water and mist, lingered beside Xia En on the deck and did not dissipate for a long time. The moonlight seemed to be cheering around him, blooming brightly for his arrival. ?Even Sha Jingjing has never seen that kind of intimate gesture. ?At this time, a breeze came and blew off Shane''s hood, revealing his true appearance. ?His figure is slender and tall against the backdrop of the silver moonlight, and his already handsome face looks even more holy and refined. Just like...the agent of gods in the human world! This moment. ?In the hearts of many Yongyue clan members present, there was an inexplicable urge to worship. ?However, in Xia En''s palm, the extraction of moon essence continued. A steady stream of silver-white liquid is precipitating from the moonlight, making this pool of essence continue to grow. Xia En didnt know why he was able to do this. He just intuitively felt that he should do this, so he did it. During this process, part of the moon essence was naturally absorbed by his body. The feeling of moonlight entering the body is very strange, first there is a cool and warm feeling. When it flowed through the body, it felt a little heavy, like drops of mercury. This is due to the special environment of [Sand Island]. Any secret power that can leave the body will be compressed extremely solidly. But wherever this secret power flows, muscles and bones become stronger. You absorbed the "Moon Essence"! ?Quality: Rare Type: Props Description: The essence extracted from moonlight. Can heal most injuries and slightly strengthen the physical body. Billions of radiances are all His supporters. But legend has it that in older years, the authority of the moonlight was held by the "Scarlet Lord". Comprehensive quality: 4.514.54 4.544.56 Comprehensive quality: 4.6! As the numbers on the panel jumped, the overall quality finally settled at 4.6! ?The increase was not too big, but it also surprised Xia En. With his current physical strength, every improvement is valuable. ??And strangely, this kind of moonlight seems to have the effect of washing the body and mind. It not only cleans the clothes on the body, but also makes the mind particularly peaceful and stable. ?However, when seeing the description on the panel, Xia En had a strange expression. "Blood Moon...[Scarlet Lord] and moonlight do seem to have a strong connection." But does this mean that His authority has been snatched away by the Lord of billions of radiances? No wonder he has that attitude towards the Lord of Radiance. While thinking, Xia En clearly felt that his body''s absorption of [Moon Essence] was close to saturation. The improvement from continued extraction will only be minimal. So, he waved his big hand lightly. ?The essence of the moonlight around them fell like raindrops on Sha Jingjing and many indigenous people. ?Of course, Shane has not forgotten Ann and Tracey. ??Both of them received an extra large ball of moonlight. Even though Xia En and the three of them absorbed part of the essence, the total amount of moon essence this time was far greater than before, and the amount of moon essence each received in the end was still several times the usual amount. The healing effect of [Moon Essence] is immediate. As soon as it comes into contact with the wound, the vitality of blood and flesh is immediately stimulated, causing the flesh and blood of the wound to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. ?Sha Jingjings two gunshot wounds were healed. However, after a brief surprise, the natives all looked at Xia En with surprised and alert eyes. Are you an outsider? "But why can you control the power of the moonlight? Isn''t this the unique ability of the saint?" The physical features of [Yongyue Clan] are very obvious. Xia En, who does not have wolf ears and wolf tail, naturally revealed his identity immediately. Ayi opened her eyes wide: "Brother, are you also a saint candidate?" ?Shaan: ?His brain was spinning rapidly, preparing to come up with a reasonable explanation. But at this moment, an older native in the crowd murmured: "I remembered." Come on the night of the full moon and dance with the moonlight in the sky... The Son! He is the prophesied Son! ...the Son? Sha Jingjing looked dazed for a moment, and she also remembered the ancient prophecy. It is said that one day in the future, a holy son will come to [Sand Island] and lead them out of this difficult situation. Be able to live peacefully and happily like other races. Just because this prophecy is too old, and the content is so beautiful that it is a bit unrealistic. Not many young people of this generation remember this prophecy, and even if they do, they still disagree deep down. But right now ?This strange situation seems to be the only one that can be explained by it? Xia Ens head was filled with questions. ??Its okay that he is called the Angel of God by the sea people of [Coral City]. What the **** is the Holy Son? ?If Xia En knew that Mr. Heller of the previous [Netherworld Sect] actually regarded him as the [Netherworld Holy Son], his mood would be even weirder. This is what happened Sha Jingjing walked up to Xia En and explained to him the general ins and outs in a low voice. Finally, she opened her bright eyes and asked nervously and expectantly. Are youthe prophesied Son? ?Xia En fell silent. He really didn''t know how to answer this question. ?While Sha Jingjing was waiting for his reply, the native at the helm suddenly said. Mrs. Saint, look ahead! Hearing this, Sha Jingjing and the other natives immediately turned their heads to look. ??Not far away, in the dark and cold desert, there was a scarlet blood fire, burning blazingly! ?The firelight illuminated almost half of the desert. ?Seeing this scene, the native who came to ask for help was filled with jealousy and shouted: "That''s it!" Those **** outsiders! As soon as Xia En saw the ball of blood and fire, he quickly felt a sense of familiarity. ??That kind of secret power that contains negative emotions in filth, you can tell at a glance that it is the work of the vampires. However, there seems to be no aura of Twilights woman, nor the signature twin flowers ?Shane has already memorized the smell of Twilight''s blood, and can recognize it whenever he comes into contact with it. Did you get separated from your men? Judging from Twilight''s previous behavior, she obviously prefers to act alone and does not like to be restrained by other people. And this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity! Sha Jingjing looked resolute and shouted: "Get ready to fight!" Before she finished speaking, she pulled out a dark yellow long bow from the mark on her chest, and a mysterious power lingered on it. ??The power of this longbow is so amazing that it can even hurt Twilight, who is suspected to be a sixth-level person. ??The rest of the natives also took out their bows, arrows and long knives, and the arrows and blades were quenched with strong poison. ?Although their technological level is lagging behind, their combat power cannot be underestimated. The speed of the [Moonlight Ship] is astonishing, and the distance between it and the **** fire is rapidly shortening. But due to the mighty momentum of this ship, the Vampires in the Bloodfire quickly noticed its arrival. Suddenly, Xia En''s eyes narrowed, and he sensed several smells of blood approaching rapidly in front of him. Enemy attack! Xia En pointed in that direction. Sha Jingjing and others have rich fighting experience, and their long bows immediately pointed in the direction pointed by Xia En. Several vampires hiding their bodies emerged from the shadows of the sand dunes. What greeted them were several arrows with astonishing power. Sha Jingjings bow and arrow seemed to have some kind of secret space power, and it traveled directly through the space and came to the vampires chest. simultaneously! laugh! laugh! A small rain of arrows immediately shot these vampires to the ground. ??The vampires had strong vitality and were not killed on the spot, but the poison on the arrow quickly spread within their bodies. In the blink of an eye, they were transformed into mummies under the influence of the strange toxin. ??The Vampires behind were shocked for a while. They had clearly used special secret techniques to hide their figures, so why were they still discovered by the other side? ??With the perception of [blood power], the disguises of the vampires are almost invisible to Xia En. ?Shan En then pointed in several directions in the desert. At first, the natives were a little puzzled as to why they obeyed the order of this outsider, but they just followed it subconsciously. ?But soon, they discovered that every time Xia En gave an order, he could kill several vampires. In addition to the miraculous scene of controlling the moonlight before, and the prophecy and legend of the Holy Son. ?Unconsciously, Xia En gained a lot of prestige among the indigenous people. At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar from the blood and fire, and a big ax burning with blood and fire whirled towards the [Moonlight Ship]. Sha Jingjing immediately drew her bow and shot an arrow. The dark yellow long arrows were shot out one after another with great force. There was a loud "clang" sound, and several long arrows were directly split in half by the axe. The ax continued unabated and headed straight for Sha Jingjing. The girl''s face turned pale and she was ready to use her last resort to fight against the enemy. But at this moment, Xia En took a step forward and came to the axe, stretching out his seemingly white palm. (End of this chapter) Chapter 213 The silver wolf in the moonlight, the location of the treasure Chapter 213 The silver wolf under the moonlight, the location of the treasure Lord Holy Son! Some natives couldn''t help but exclaimed when they saw Xia En standing in front of the flying axe. After all, compared with the powerful and heavy flying axe, Xia En''s body still seems too thin and delicate. ?Sha Jingjing behind him couldn''t help but widen his eyes, his face was pale, and his face was full of worry. But the next moment. ??The menacing flying ax did not split Xia En in half as many people expected, but was directly held in his hand! ??The flying ax is so fast and powerful, it is even more difficult to do this than grabbing a bullet with bare hands. After Xia En held the throwing ax, he turned his head and looked in a direction in the desert. ?An extremely tall vampire rushed out from there, wearing dark golden armor and extremely gorgeous. He looked at the corpses of the vampire warriors all over the ground and was extremely angry. He stared at the natives on the [Moonlight Boat] and roared. You big stinking dogs must die! ? Judging from the strength of the vampire''s throwing axe, he is at least a fourth-level mystic. He is also good at brute force hand-to-hand combat, and his combat power is very good. ??Xia En didn''t panic about his arrival. He just silently raised the ax and threw it at the vampire with all his strength! ?Hum! ??The flying ax pierced the air, making a terrifying scream, and flew towards the tall vampire at a faster speed than when it came. ??The vampire, who was still roaring angrily a second ago, immediately felt a sense of crisis on the verge of death. ?His expression suddenly changed, he grabbed a heavy shield and held it to his side. Dang! ??The flying ax struck the heavy shield hard, and the shield''s secret light instantly shattered, and then even the shield surface was torn into pieces. The tall vampire took several steps back, and there were several cracks in the armor on his body. ?His face turned pale and he couldn''t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. ??The **** throwing ax couldn''t withstand such a violent impact and broke into several pieces. The tall vampire then raised his head and looked at Xia En, who was standing in mid-air, with a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes. Captain of [Black Swan]Shane!? Xia En raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You actually know me?" ?He disappeared from the [Cold Sea] for a long time, and his reputation is no longer as great as it was when he just sank the [Blood Duke]. Even Twilight didn''t recognize his identity, so how did this vampire recognize him? Suddenly, Xia En discovered a badge on the vampire armor. ??On it is painted a scarlet rose flower. Xia En suddenly understood: "Are you from the Nova family?" ??The tall vampire came back to his senses after a brief shock and said with a ferocious smile: "I didn''t expect you to still be alive!" It just so happens that the hatred of the Nova family will be washed away with the blood of the enemy! Before he finished speaking, the tall vampire took off a hand cannon powered by secret power from his waist and began to fire and bombard. One after another blood-fire cannonballs hit Xia En like streams of light. ??The principle of this hand cannon is exactly the same as the twin flowers in Twilight''s hands. They are both fired with the secret power of the vampires as ammunition, and the power is quite amazing. ?Xia En took another step forward, using the shadows to shuttle his body, and each step could cover a distance of tens of meters. It is a dark night now, and even if there is a full moon hanging high in the sky, the desert is still full of shadows. For Xia En, who has thoroughly studied the "Book of Shadows", this is his home field at this moment! At this time, the other Vampires also noticed the fast-moving figure and saw the tall Vampire''s actions, so they attacked him without hesitation. Some vampires rushed forward like wolves and tigers. Some used secret firearms similar to those of the Twin Flowers. This is the secret weapon they prepared to deal with the special environment of [Island of Sand], but it was used on Xia En at this time. In an instant. There was almost a rain of fire composed of blood-colored streamers, which drowned Xia En in a mighty manner. However, when those **** streams of light came to Xia En, they all encountered some great resistance, slowed down rapidly, and disappeared in just a few seconds. It was as if it had been wiped away by an invisible hand. It seems like... ?The shadows lingering around Xia En suddenly came to life, biting, dissolving, and devouring all the blood that came close. ?This is exactly the effect of [Great Dark Sky]. ??Although on [Island of Sand], Xia En was unable to reproduce the miraculous scene on [Island of Ten Thousand Ships], the scope of the domain was greatly reduced, and he could only cover an area within three meters of his body. But it was also because of this that Xia En developed another usage of [Great Dark Sky]. After continuously compressing the domain, its effectiveness, defense, and solidity have been greatly improved. This area with a radius of three meters is Xia En''s strongest armor. Any external attack will be suppressed by the [Great Dark Sky], or even directly absorbed. The Vampires naturally dont know these inside stories. ??They only knew that the attacks they and others landed on Xia En were like a mud cow entering the sea, with no effect at all, let alone leaving wounds on his body. Those vampires who took the initiative to rush towards Xia En suddenly felt their eyes go dark. Heavy darkness seemed to be coming from all directions, occupying their entire world. Suddenly, irresistible pressure fell. ??All the vampires who were approached by Xia En fell to the ground. ??The weak ones simply heard the sound of intensive bone cracking on their bodies. Even the strongest vampires can barely support them and cannot even run. ?However, they dont have to run away. Xia En passed through them leisurely as if strolling in a courtyard. Blood splashed when he waved his **** sword, and several of the strongest vampires were the first to turn into corpses. In the blink of an eye. ??The vampire who attacked earlier fell to pieces, which made the remaining vampires stop in shock, with a trace of fear in their eyes. They had no idea how their companions fell, let alone how to hurt Xia En. ?This kind of unknown enemy is even more frightening. But they stopped, but Xia En didn''t. ?Every time he took a step, he would appear behind a vampire without any warning, and the power of [Great Dark Sky] would directly crush him. ?Even if Xia En didn''t even have to do anything, the bones of these vampires would be broken into pieces, at least they would be seriously injured. The power of the domain is so overbearing when it comes to dealing with low-level Mystics! ?Seeing this scene, the tall vampire''s eyelids kept twitching, and he was filled with resentment. ?He had long noticed that Xia En''s eyes had been falling on him, but he had not yet made a move on him. Obviously, the other party wanted him to watch other vampires die in front of him. Damn it! The tall vampire''s eyes were red and his veins were bulging: "I''m going to kill you! I''m going to drain your blood!" Chichichi As the blood mist dispersed, the body of this vampire became distorted and expanded. ?Under the moonlight, he suddenly turned into a hideous and terrifying bat monster, very similar to the old gentleman in the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Its just that the bat monster transformed by this vampire is even bigger and more powerful. It is more than five meters long, extremely thick, and its claws are thicker than ordinary people''s thighs. ?There are huge and sharp spikes on the shoulders, elbows, knees and other parts, which look ferocious and terrifying. The aura is many times stronger than that of the old gentleman. Xia En has been dealing with the vampires for such a long time, and of course he knows that this is the "second form" of the vampires. ?However, the current Xia En is no longer what he used to be. He didn''t even use the "second stage" and "third stage" abilities. He rushed directly in front of the bat monster and struck it on the head with a sword. Extremely powerful body, heavy and terrifying domain, supplemented by pure secret power... The three are superimposed, and this sword is almost unstoppable! ??The bat monster was horrified. He raised his claws and tried his best to block the sword. simultaneously! Blood splattered, and the bat monster was split into two. ?However, it did not die after splitting into two halves. ?Half of the body escaped quickly, while the other half rushed towards the sand crystals on the [Moonlight Boat] like a stream of light. This man actually knew from the beginning that he was no match for Xia En and wanted to escape. He also noticed that Sha Jingjing''s status among the indigenous people was obviously very high. As long as he subdued this girl, he could delay it for a long time. Xia En would naturally not let this person escape, but if he wanted to protect Sha Jingjing, he would definitely waste a lot of time. Xia En turned around and saw Sha Jingjing nodding firmly towards him. Thats saying C Please believe me! ?Hence, Xia En no longer hesitated and chased directly towards the escaping **** light. After he crushed the blood light, he turned his head and saw... Under the moonlight, on the Moonlight Ship, a giant silver wolf opened its mouth and bit the half of the **** bat, preventing it from moving at all. The regeneration ability of the vampires seems to be somewhat restrained under the wolf fangs. ??The bat monster was losing blood and just stared at them with malicious eyes and cursed. It is indeed a disgusting big dog. When Lord Twilight comes... you will all die miserably! ?Its breath gradually weakened, and soon it died completely, turning into a puddle of rancid blood. ?Seeing the man with the highest combat power killed in battle, the remaining vampires lost all will to fight and finally began to rout. The natives continued to use poisonous arrows to harvest their lives. Coupled with Xia En''s action, no vampire could escape in the end. ?After annihilating the enemy, Xia En looked at the giant wolf under the moonlight with curious eyes. I have to say that Sha Jingjing at this time has a unique charm. ?The body of this giant wolf is tight and strong, full of explosive power, plump but not too thick, looking elegant and dangerous. ?The silver hair is slightly open and fluffy, and the tips of each hair are glowing with a faint light, as soft as satin. It gives people an urge to touch it. In fact, Shane did the same thing. Woo! Sha Jingjing was suddenly startled when Xia En rubbed her head: "Captain Xia En, what are you doing!" It feels really good. Xia En touched her all the way from the back of her head to her back. The touch was smooth, and it felt like he was petting his big dog in his previous life. Its just that Sha Jingjing was obviously not used to this kind of intimate touch, and her voice became a little strange. Dont, dont touch it Woo! The tail cant do it! At leastnot in front of everyone ?Her mouth expressed resistance, but her ears twitched slightly in comfort, and her tail swayed from side to side, obviously in a good mood. Fortunately, the other natives were busy cleaning up the mess, so they didn''t cast any strange looks. ?Xia En looked at the silver wolf in front of him, his thoughts fluctuating in his mind. It seems that the so-called [Yongyue Clan] are the werewolves in my impression! In this world, vampires and werewolves also have feuds? However, the number of werewolves is obviously much smaller than that of the vampires. Is the hatred between them related to the [Lord of Radiance] and [Lord of Scarlet]? He currently knows too little information to make an accurate judgment. Soon, Xia En looked at the ruins where the blood fire was gradually extinguishing. ?There was obviously a gathering place for the [Yongyue Clan]. Many indigenous people have died in the raging **** fire, their bodies were burned into a blackened mass, and the former houses and buildings were almost completely destroyed. Among the corpses were old people and small children. Obviously, the Vampires have just been massacring the natives indiscriminately. ?It was precisely because he knew the cruel methods of the vampires that Xia En treated them without any mercy, let alone keeping prisoners. Fortunately, there was still a small group of natives who hid in the fortress behind the village when the vampires attacked. Under the desperate protection of several strong natives, these people survived by chance. even so. The atmosphere in the entire ruins inevitably became extremely depressing and heavy. ??Everywhere is filled with the smell of blood and fire. From time to time, the cries of survivors could be heard, and sorrow and hatred flowed through the eyes of the natives. Sha Jingjing quietly transformed back into a human form. Looking at the tragic situation in the ruins, she felt particularly heavy. In recent times, the number of outsiders who have landed on the [Island of Sand] has been much greater than before. Not only this tribe, but other tribes also had conflicts with outsiders, resulting in considerable casualties. ??Moreover, it now seems that the number of outsiders attracted seems endless. But the natives on the island will always be killed one day. At this time, an old man with a broken arm looked at Sha Jingjing and murmured. My Lady Saint, when will this kind of day end? We obviously just want to live a stable life... His words made the other natives feel sad. ?Surviving in such a harsh desert environment is not easy, but people from outside the island launch attacks from time to time and destroy their homes. Such an unreasonable disaster and a life with no future in sight are really despairing. Sha Jingjing, who was burdened with the expectations of her tribe, felt even more heavy-hearted and could not say a word of comfort. ?Hushly, Sha Jingjing glanced at Xia En and seemed to have made some kind of determination in her heart. Captain Shane, come with me. After taking Xia En away from the sight of the natives, Sha Jingjing said directly. Captain Shane, I think youre here for the [Norwich Treasure] too, right? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded slightly. Sha Jingjing looked directly into Xia En''s eyes and said seriously: "I know where the treasure is." Please...take it away! (End of this chapter) Chapter 214 The transformed [Platinum Knight] Chapter 214: The Transformed [Platinum Knight] "Um?" Facing Sha Jingjings sudden request, Xia En was stunned for a moment. To be honest, his first thought was Norwich Treasureshall I take it? After all, even if Xia En breaks through to the fourth level and masters a powerful secret technique like [Great Dark Sky], there is still a big gap between him and the truly powerful person who came to this island. ?However, after thinking about it, he understood Sha Jingjings intention. Although I dont know why the natives of [Sand Island] did not use this treasure. But for them, this treasure has long become a source of misfortune. ?It is precisely its existence that makes many outsiders flock to the [Sand Island] like sharks smelling the smell of blood. ??If Xia En can take this treasure away, it will undoubtedly improve the plight of the Yongyue clan to a certain extent. ??Moreover, in Sha Jingjings view. They are destined to be unable to keep this treasure anyway, and it will eventually be taken away by outsiders. Giving it to everyone, why not give it to Xia En, who is kind to the Yongyue clan and is suspected of being the "prophesied Son of God"? At this time, Sha Jingjing continued: "However, the place where this treasure is hidden is extremely dangerous." Our people paid a heavy price for exploring it. Hope Captain Shane is ready. Xia En looked solemn: "I will do it." Sha Jingjing sighed faintly: "Captain Xia En, please come with me." Just when Sha Jingjing led Xia En to the treasure place. On the sea near [Sand Island]. ?A medium-sized advanced steamship has just passed through the thunder-filled [Magnetic Sea Area] and slowly approached this island made of yellow sand. ?On the hull of this steamship, the [Star Wave] logo composed of stars and waves is clearly engraved. It also demonstrates its noble identity as belonging to the federation. It''s just that it''s different from other silver-white [hunting boats]. ??The theme color of this steam ship is more brass-colored, and the proportion of steam devices on the ship is much larger than that of ordinary ships. ? Comprehensive interlaced pipes and pressure relief structures are spread up and down the hull like a network. ?Even the number of chimneys is five. ?If you look carefully, you can also find that those chimneys have a strange symbol on them. ?The bottom is like solid steel, and the top is steam rising. This is a simplified drawing of the world''s first steam engine, which is also the emblem of the God of Steam and Steel. ?On the deck of this ship, white steam releases from time to time. Together with the rhythm of the ship''s mechanical devices and the jumping of the steam core, it constitutes a hymn unique to steel and steam. Steam is the breath of God, and steel is the bridge between man and God. ?In the white steam, a gray-haired young man sighed softly: "This [Brass] is a treasured place of cultivation for the believers of the God of Steel and Steam." "It seems like a lot of money was spent on it. No wonder her promotion is so fast." The gray-haired man had a hint of envy on his face. You must know that the owner of this [Brass] has broken through the third level and two levels in a row in the past few months, reaching the level of the fifth level mystic. Even if the gray-haired man claims to be a half-genius, he still feels a little ashamed in front of the owner of the Brass Horn. Your Excellency Huiyun, what are you muttering about? ?At this moment, a slightly ethereal and hoarse female voice came from the steam. A slender and straight figure walked out slowly. ?Her body is composed of white-gold armor, with precise and strange steam cores embedded in her arms, elbows, chest, legs... Not only provides her with strong and surging power, but also adds a bit of gorgeous beauty. Under her goggles, her eyes also emitted a white-gold light. Her temperament is mysterious and elegant, with an unusual divine beauty. Platinum KnightCarles! Compared to when he was separated from Shane, Carles''s body has obviously changed a lot. First of all, the most significant change is the number of steam cores. Previously, Carles only carried two or three steam cores, but now, the number has reached an astonishing 32! More steam cores mean more power, stronger performance, and more capabilities! ?For living armors like Carles, in addition to gaining new abilities through promotion and installing new mechanical modules, it is also a stable method of becoming stronger. This is also the reason why Huiyun said that he had "spent a lot of money". Secondly, the metal that makes up Carles'' body has also been greatly strengthened. The color of white gold becomes clearer and purer, and its hardness and toughness are different. The last point is The style of this armor has shifted slightly from the original neutral to feminine. If I have to say it, it is...she has become more "pretty". ?This change is related to Carles self-understanding. Steam armor itself has no gender. But since leaving the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] last time, Carles has spoken more often in a female voice and tone, and has become more accustomed to identifying as a female. In order to conform to her identity, the Federation also made some adjustments when transforming her. However, there are rumors within the federation. ?The reason why Carles did this seems to be because of a man? ?Thinking of this, Huiyun couldn''t help but ignited the fire of gossip in his heart, and asked curiously. "Lord Carles, I heard... you seemed to have truly determined your gender after performing a mission?" Is that what happened? ? Carles crossed his arms and sneered: "Your Excellency Huiyun, after you broke through the fourth level, you seem to be much more courageous than before?" Do you want me to tell you in actual combat, the difference between the fourth level and the fifth level? As she spoke, the steam core on her body buzzed and trembled, exuding a heart-stopping power. ifier Gray Cloud immediately became honest and quickly said: "Don''t stop ... I''m a archeologist who has no power of chickens, without the power of you." Sister, please forgive me for my hard work in deciphering the treasure map! ??As an official secret traveler of the Federation, Hui Yuns status is actually very special. Just as he said, his secret profession is that of a rare [archaeologist]. Strictly speaking, this should be a derivative profession of the [Scholar] secret path, and its combat effectiveness is indeed not outstanding. In fact. During the promotion process, Hui Yun never thought of resisting Xia En, but after carefully comparing the combat power of both sides, he was able to confirm that he really couldn''t defeat him! ?However, it was precisely because he hugged Xia En''s lap that Hui Yun did not die in the firefight of the pirates for no reason and managed to survive all the way to the end of the ritual. ??Although the evaluation of the trial is not too high, at least it has passed! Always much luckier than those secret path people who failed to advance. Speaking of which, although Hui Yun is not good at fighting, he is still quite famous within the Federation. In this era, people will always salvage treasures from ancient times from underwater ruins. Its now archaeologists turn to play a role. Deciphering and interpreting these cultural relics can provide individuals with a few more useful relics for secret travelers and help them judge the value of those antiques. Hence, Huiyun is also called a "treasure appraiser" by some people in the Federation. As for the entire Federation, they may even be able to decipher certain technologies of ancient civilizations and achieve a quantum leap in technology. Take the S3 document that was leaked this time as an example. Huiyun personally participated in the deciphering of this document, and also used this to locate the suspected treasure location of the [Norwich Treasure]. ?Huiyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Carles did not pursue the matter further and changed the subject. Speaking of which, this promotion ritual is truly remarkable. Especially a mystic who plays the role of the Apostle John, who actually understood the power of the realm at the fourth level. "You may not believe it when I tell you, but he and I joined forces to defeat all the powerful enemies present. Even Augustine was alarmed!" In my opinion, he might have received a perfect rating for this trial. ? Carles said in a calm tone: "You have said this no less than five times." Besides, he was actually the only one who took action, right? Ahem With the mystery revealed, Hui Yun was not embarrassed and just said. Actually, what surprised me the most was when I first met that guy. The ship named [Sky Serpent] originally had mediocre performance in all aspects. But in the hands of that person, it seems to have come alive, and it can also perform many incredible tactical moves. "Um?" ?Carless''s hoarse voice was rarely a little excited. "What did you say?" Huiyun was startled by her attitude and said blankly: "Did I say something wrong?" "I''m asking you, what happened to the ship in his hands?" Like, like come alive? ?Hearing this answer, Carles could no longer maintain his calm posture and couldn''t help but pace back and forth on the deck. The ability to control the ship...the fourth-level promotion ritual...achieving a perfect evaluation... Could it be him? Huiyun looked confused: "Who?" ??It was the first time that he saw Carles showing such an attitude because he heard someone''s presence. At this moment, a crew member came forward to report. Lord Carles, according to the captain of the recent [White Dove] and [Heron], the [Black Swan] has appeared in the [Magnetic Sea Area]. Its target is most likely the [Norwich Treasure] on the [Island of Sand]. Hearing this, Carles calmed down and directly ordered: "Go to [Sand Island] at full speed!" The gray clouds on the side were filled with excitement: "[Black Swan]?" Could it be that ? Carles glanced at him coldly, and it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. While approaching the [Island of Sand], they were also able to see several famous ships. Thats the [Gem Number] of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]! ??Hui Yun looked at one of the huge and luxurious ships and couldn''t help but raise his voice. It is said that it is the car of the great businessman Golden Eyes Miso. He himself is also a fifth-level powerhouse. If you include his subordinates, his strength will only be stronger. Soon, Hui Yun''s eyes moved to another large and sturdy ship docked on the coast. Theres also the pirate ship of Gall the Outlaw That guys boat is full of lunatics who have no inhibitions. ?In addition, there are many pirate ships with illustrious reputations scattered along the coast of [Sand Island]. Obviously, as the news spread, various forces came to the [Island of Sand] one after another, making the situation on the island even more chaotic. ?But at this moment, Carles''s eyes fell on a not too big ketch not far away. ??The sails of this ship seem to be dyed with ink, and the hull is also pitch black. The hull of the boat was extremely damp, with a strange fishy smell. It''s like...this ship comes from somewhere in the cold and deep sea. In a daze, something alive seemed to be quietly squirming in the shadow cast by the hull. But if you look closely, it seems to be just an illusion. As if aware of Carles'' gaze, a woman wearing a simple black nun''s dress walked onto the deck. ?This woman''s black hair is extremely long and seems to have not been taken care of. It is spread casually in front of her forehead, almost covering most of her face. ?Looks like a classic image that appears in some horror movies. ? Carles looked at her briefly and then withdrew his gaze. ??Hui Yun was also a fourth-level mystic after all. He quickly noticed the strangeness of the ship and the black-haired nun, and couldn''t help but ask after the other party gradually moved away. Sir, which ship is it? Dont ask what you shouldnt ask. ?Carless said coldly. In fact, it also caused quite a stir in her heart. )? Why are they even participating in the fight for this treasure? ??In the Seven Seas, the collective name for sects that are not officially recognized by the Federation is actually not a cult, but The secret religion! Among the many esoteric sects, [The Nether Sect] also belongs to the most mysterious group. ?Although they keep saying that they want to awaken the "Lord of the Deep" in the deep sea, they have never held any large-scale **** sacrifices. ?? Usually just dormant in the dark, and his behavior can be described as quite low-key. It''s like...they are quietly waiting for a certain opportunity to come. Because of this, federal officials do not have much hostility towards this sect. As long as they do not violate laws and regulations or perform evil rituals, they do not mind turning a blind eye. But the current [Norwich Treasure]...how did you lure them all out? ?Carless was keenly aware that the water behind the treasure seemed to be deeper than she expected. Lord Carles, that ship...is the Blood Tribes [Burning Gold]! At this time, Huiyun couldn''t help but exclaimed. Looking at the gorgeous and exquisite [Burning Gold], Carles couldn''t help but shrink his pupils, and the figure of Twilight appeared in his mind. Because of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], she had a brief encounter with Twilight. ?At that time, she was defeated miserably and had almost no power to fight back. Carless also clearly understands Twilights true ranksixth level! The sixth level is only one step away from the legend! ?Just thinking about that woman, Carles felt an extremely heavy pressure. ?This trip to [Sand Island] will definitely not be that easy. at the same time. ??Xia En has arrived at the entrance to the treasure place in the sand crystal mouth. (End of this chapter) Chapter 215 Going deep into the forbidden area, [Sand Island] is shaken! Chapter 215: Going deep into the forbidden area, [Sand Island] is shaken! After half a night of traveling. ?The full moon is still high in the sky, but the night begins to disappear quietly, and the sky becomes a little hazy. The place where Sha Jingjing brought Xia En was several kilometers behind where their tribe gathered. ?The terrain here is extremely steep, and the peaks on both sides are extremely tall. There is no vegetation on it, and the exposed mountain is dark yellow with dark red color, looking like mottled blood stains. From a distance, you cannot see the existence of these mountains. Only when you get close to a certain range will they suddenly break into your field of vision. Obviously, the environment here has some kind of special hidden secret that can deceive most people''s perception. Xia En also vaguely noticed that there were signs of distortion in the space nearby, and many places were contrary to common sense. This is it. Sha Jingjing took Xia En to the foot of two cliffs. There is a very narrow corridor in front of you, and only two people can walk side by side. In the corridor, there was a pressure that made one''s heart palpitate. It seemed like there was some terrible monster hiding deep in the corridor. This is the forbidden land of our clan, and it is also the location of the [Norwich Treasure]. A long time ago, we went deep into this place several times to explore the treasure, but all failed and caused a lot of casualties. As time went by, the high priest refused to let us enter here. Only when the tribe holds a coming-of-age ceremony, will the newly-adult boys and girls come to the forbidden area to undergo the test. Tracey, who was following Shane, asked curiously: "A coming-of-age ceremony?" I remember that the elves also have adult ceremonies. The elves who have reached their age will be taken to the Elf Mother Tree, and the Queen will personally wear a crown made of leaves from the sacred tree and receive the blessing of the Mother Goddess! Elves? Sha Jingjing said with some embarrassment: "This is the first time I have heard of the existence of this race." However, our [Yongyue Tribes] coming-of-age ceremony is far more cruel and dangerous than you say. ?Her expression was sad but strong, so Tracy didn''t dare to ask any more questions. At this time, Xia En said: "Miss Sha Jingjing, please send her here." The next road is up to us. Although Xia En didn''t know the specific circumstances of the Yongyue Clan''s coming-of-age ceremony, according to his intuition, there must be great danger hidden inside this narrow corridor. ?Sha Jingjing is willing to bring them here, which is considered to be the most benevolent thing. There is no need for her to put herself in danger again. ?Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the silver wolf girl shook her head firmly. I will also enter the forbidden land together. "No matter what, our family has a great connection with this treasure." "At least... I also want to take a look at what it is and why it caused so many of my kind to be killed." On the way here, Sha Jingjing had already made up her mind and would not waver easily, she continued. Furthermore, I just performed an adult ceremony some time ago, so I have some understanding of the situation in the forbidden area. Take me with you, it will definitely help you explore the forbidden area. Sha Jingjing said this, so Xia En stopped trying to persuade her and just said, "Okay, let''s go." Immediately, a group of three people walked towards the corridor with a goblin. As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Xia En noticed that his body was a little heavier. ?He was slightly startled and quickly concluded that the gravity field in the corridor had become stronger again. ?Moreover, the deeper you go into the corridor, the heavier the pressure becomes. Sha Jingjing whispered from the side: "This is the first test of the forbidden area. People with poor physical fitness will not be able to reach the end of the tunnel." But there are also people who use heavy pressure to temper their bodies. ?This pressure is enough to make it difficult for the average person. But for physically strong Mysteries like Xia En, An and Sha Jingjing, it is still within the bearable range. ??The only one who looked quite embarrassed was Tracy, who was lying on Shane''s shoulder. She can''t even fly now. ?While moving forward, Xia En was also silently observing the scenery in the corridor. ?The ground here is extremely solid, and its density is probably no less than that of alloy. But after walking for a while, Xia En saw a few clear footprints on the ground. There is also a faint, fresh smell of blood remaining in the air. Seeing this, Sha Jingjing''s expression changed slightly: "Someone entered the forbidden area before us!" ?Shane was not surprised by this. People from various forces have been coming to the [Sand Island] for some time. No matter what means are used, some people will definitely be able to find this forbidden land. only ?This smell of blood reminded Xia En of the twilight of the vampire clan. ??Moreover, even Xia En has to admit that with Twilight''s strength, if she is allowed to enter the forbidden area first, the probability of her getting the treasure is extremely high! ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a lot of pressure. Fortunately, judging from the freshness of the smell of blood, it shouldnt have been long since she entered the forbidden area, and there is still a possibility of overtaking her. The more times this happens, the less likely you are to be impatient. ?Xia En took two deep breaths, calmed down quickly, and moved forward unhurriedly at his own pace. I dont know how long Ive been walking. When he came to the end, even Xia En felt that his body was extremely heavy and he felt a little bit tired. The only good news is Comprehensive quality: 4.64.61! ?Under the tempering of this strong gravity, part of the medicinal effect of [Moon Essence] previously accumulated in Xia En''s body was absorbed. Unfortunately, the current situation is urgent and there is no time for him to continue to use gravity to exercise his body. Soon, Xia En took another step forward, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear. An empty and spacious space came directly into their field of vision. What appeared in front of them was a terrain similar to a valley basin, with tall and rough rock walls on all sides. In this gravity environment, it is almost impossible to climb out of this valley with bare hands. Flying is even more difficult than ascending to the sky. However, Xia En also noticed that there was a black mist in the air around him. ?This kind of black mist is actually somewhat similar to the wave of darkness when [Emerald Island] encountered [Wrath of God], and its shielding against perception is extremely powerful. ?With Xia Ens perception, he can only go deeper than ten meters. Anywhere further away, its just a blur. ˡ At this moment, a dull sound like an ancient war drum suddenly sounded. Hearing this voice, Xia En''s whole body felt numb, his blood surged, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Somewhere, there seemed to be a terrifying will that briefly set its sights on him. Xia En suddenly realized that it was not the sound of drums, but the beating of the heart! Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath the group''s feet continued to tremble, as if an earthquake had been triggered. In fact. Not only the area where Xia En and others are located, but also the natives and outsiders on the entire [Sand Island] heard this heartbeat and felt the vibration of the ground. Even the pirates who have experienced many battles can''t help but scream in surprise.?????What happened? Why was there a sudden earthquake? That muffled sound just now was Among the pirates, there is an ugly man whose face is covered with scars and almost disfigured, but his eyes are bright. The direction from which the heartbeat comes is where the treasure is! Brothers, follow me! The pirates nearby responded: "Yes, Captain Garr!" This disfigured man is none other than the fifth-level pirate "Madman" Gal! ?Beside him, there was also a strange man wrapped in bandages, whose body constantly exuded the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder. Under the bandage, a low, strange laugh could be heard from time to time. The other pirates were extremely afraid of this man and did not dare to get within ten meters of him. ?Only Garr patted the bandage weirdo''s shoulder nonchalantly and whispered: "Leo, I will make you explode this time." Coast. ?Carless and Huiyun also led several colleagues off the ship. Due to the special environment of [Island of Sand], ordinary Mysterians are greatly restricted. Not only can they not exert much combat power, they will also become a burden. So Carles only brought five or six elite men. At this moment, they all heard the dull heartbeat. ?Carless was okay, her body was made of steel and she didnt have much reaction. But Huiyun and the others didn''t feel so good, and they all had an unspeakable feeling of palpitations. Huiyun looked solemn and murmured: "Who is the owner of this heartbeat?" ?Carless, who knew some of the inside story in advance, was not too surprised and just sighed softly. Thats true. No wonder there are so few federal strongmen willing to participate in this operation. "Um?" Huiyun said in surprise: "Lord Carles, what do you mean by this?" ? Carles didnt hide anything, and said frankly: Arent you curious why I am the only fifth-level secret traveler from the Federation to come to [Island of Sand] this time? Even the Vampires have sixth-level Twilights taking action, and there will only be more sixth-level strong men in the Federation. Huiyun was startled and guessed: "Isn''t it because of the special restrictions of [Sand Island]?" ? Carles shook his head: "That''s just one factor." Furthermore, even if the ban on [Island of Sand] limits the strength of the Secret Pathers to Level 5, it will not be difficult for the Federation to select a group of Level 5 experts, right? The real reason behind this is actually... The Federation does not pay that much attention to the [Norwich Treasure] from [Island of Sand]. Thinking of the heartbeat just now, Huiyun couldn''t help but ask: "What exactly is the treasure here?" I can only say that this treasure is not just money or equipment. ? Carles continued: "It may be valuable to an individual, but it is not particularly valuable to the entire federation." Compared with the treasure that has been exposed, the Federation is actually more concerned about the treasures that are not known to the public. Hui Yun nodded clearly. The [Norwich Treasure] in [Sand Island] is only a part of [Norwich Treasure]. Rather than competing with these hyena-like pirates, merchants, and vampires, the Federation will naturally send more manpower and material resources to receive the treasures that only they know about. It''s not far away from Carles and others. ??The black-haired woman wearing a nun''s uniform landed on the [Sand Island] alone. Hearing this heartbeat, she couldn''t help but raise her head and look towards the center of the island, a strange emotion flashed in her beautiful eyes. Indigenous tribes in the valley. The old high priest felt the shaking of the earth and couldn''t help but burst into tears. Lord Holy Son, it must be the arrival of Lord Holy Son to cause it to wake up! He knelt down in the direction of the forbidden area, pressed his forehead to the ground, and prayed with the most pious attitude. "May the moonlight in the sky bless you and open up a new future for us..." When the shaking subsides. ?Xia En finally clearly sensed the powerful aura deep in the black mist. ??It''s not that Xia En''s perception is so powerful, but that the aura is so huge that it covers the entire forbidden land! ??If Xia Ens breath is a pond, then it is a deep sea! ?The heartbeat that shook the island came from the black mist. That was just now? ?Xia En frowned slightly. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, there was such a strange movement in the black mist. Could this be a simple coincidence? Beside, Sha Jingjing couldnt help but feel shocked. In her memory, there had never been such a change in the forbidden area, let alone any heartbeat that shook the entire island. Is this because of Captain Shane? Is he really the prophesied Son? Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En intently, as if she wanted to see the difference between him and the others. But at this moment, a stone next to her feet suddenly rolled, and a black shadow rushed out from below, shooting straight towards the sand crystal! ??Xia En activated the [Great Dark Sky] around him, directly immobilizing this dark shadow with heavy pressure. ??This is a strange-looking insect, with a body like a caterpillar, but a sharp thorn as long as a finger growing out of its head. ?Like with ferocious poison. ??The body of the zerg kept struggling and bouncing, and every time it curled up and squirmed, Xia En felt full of strength. ?It was flying as fast as a bullet. ?This is in a forbidden area with extremely strong gravity. If it were placed in the outside world, the power of one flying shot would be enough to penetrate the human body. Seeing this little bug, Sha Jingjing quickly straightened her attitude, observed the surroundings vigilantly, and explained at the same time. Most of these bugs come from the desert. After entering the forbidden area, they undergo strange transformations and are very dangerous. In addition to bugs, there are many other mutated creatures here, which is considered the second test of the forbidden area. As if in agreement with Sha Jingjings words, not long after, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly approached from the black mist. Its a wild wolf! Compared to the tiny bug, the mutation of this wild wolf is more obvious. ?Most of its flesh and blood had rotted away, and its white bones were directly exposed to the air, emitting bursts of putrid smell, which blended with the surrounding black mist. Its state is like being between life and death, making people instinctively feel uncomfortable. Seeing this, Xia En frowned even deeper. ?The appearance of this wild wolf inexplicably reminded him of the image of the "Apostle of Filth" on the "Emerald Island". Is there any connection between the two? Be careful, this is the Death Mist Wolf! It will... Before Sha Jingjing could finish her words, the rotten wild wolf brought out an evil wind and headed towards Xia En! (End of this chapter) Chapter 216 The more they object, the more it means I’m doing the right thing! Chapter 216 The more they object, the more it means I did the right thing! The moment when the Death Mist Wolf charges. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart. Because, while rushing out, the space around the Death Mist Wolf suddenly distorted. At the next moment, its figure seemed to have directly crossed a section of space, approaching Xia En''s face! There was a muffled sound. The Death Mist Wolf''s head slammed into the [Great Dark Sky] beside Xia En. ?It certainly cannot break through this extremely compressed realm. ??But what surprised Xia En was that the strange and mysterious power emanating from it began to erode the [Great Dark Sky] silently. ?This sign shows that the level of this secret power is not lower than mine! ?Xia En frowned slightly, a **** sword appeared in his hand, and struck the dead fog wolf''s head with one strike. But this sword actually only penetrated half of the Death Mist Wolf''s head, unable to directly split its body. ??As Xia En''s blood energy grew stronger, the sharpness of the blood sword also continued to increase, and it could even cut through hard alloys. One can imagine how hard the bones of this monster are! Sha Jingjing on the side could not help but widen her eyes. During her coming-of-age ceremony, she used all her strength and suffered many injuries on her body to defeat a dead fog wolf. ??How come in Xia En''s hands, the Death Mist Wolf seems to be no different from the Zerg just now? ?Xia En exerted a little force, and the sword blade split the body of the Death Mist Wolf into two parts. But even so, its mangled bones were still squirming and twisting slightly, and those divided scarlet eyes were still staring at Xia En. Tracey exclaimed in a low voice: "Captain Shane, it looks like the monster that appeared in [Wrath of God] that day!" ? Tracey once went back in time with Shane and personally experienced the "Wrath of God" incident in the "Emerald Isle", so naturally she quickly saw the similarities between the Death Mist Wolf and the "Filthy Sea Heir". [Wrath of God]? What is that? Sha Jingjing looked confused when she heard this. ??Although Ann next to her couldn''t speak, Tracey also felt his doubtful mood. ?Xia En''s expression became a little solemn. Even Tracy can see the similarity between the two, so how could he not? Combined with the diffuse black mist here, Xia En has been able to determine that this forbidden area is definitely closely related to the "Filthy Apostles" and even the "Filthy Command" behind them. Xia En thought to himself: "Since this is the treasure left by Augustine, could it be that... [Huisi Ming] is paying attention to it?" Or is this treasure actually related to [Huisi Ming]? ? Dont look at Augustines failure when he challenged [Dirty Command], and he lost so badly that he even lost confidence. But throughout the ages, how many mortals have been able to challenge the gods? Initiative to show off one''s own strength and announce the coming of the Great Flood, in order to frustrate Augustine''s fighting spirit, this is a kind of respect for him. Just when Xia En was secretly guessing. In the mist, the sound of heavy breathing came again. Pairs of scarlet eyes appeared in them. Its Death Mist Wolf, why are there so many of them!? Sha Jingjing couldnt help but change her expression. In her impression, when ordinary tribesmen hold coming-of-age ceremonies, encountering one or two dead fog wolves is already a very dangerous situation. But now, what they encountered was simply an entire pack of dead fog wolves! Xia Ens expression did not change, but he immediately noticed the reason for this change Hostility! The surrounding black mist, and even the entire forbidden area, seemed to be releasing strong hostility towards him. Want to devour him completely or drive him out! But the more this happened, the brighter Xia Ens eyes became. The more he tries to drive me away, the more it proves that the treasure Augustine buried here is likely to be an existence that can target and restrain [Huisiming]. Exactly in line with that sentence The more they object, the more it means I did the right thing! ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes lit up slightly and he said to the people behind him. Speed ??up your pace and follow me, Ill take you out! With such a large number of dead fog wolves, it would take even Xia En a long time to eliminate them all. In addition, more and more corrupted creatures emerge from the black mist. Rather than fighting with them here, it would be better to carve out a **** path and head into the depths of the black mist. Hearing this, Sha Jingjing immediately volunteered: "Our family has left a unique mark on this road, let me lead the way!" ?So, under the leadership of Sha Jingjing, Xia En crushed the incoming dead fog wolves and strode forward firmly. ?Not long after Xia En went deep into the black mist. A man wearing gorgeous clothes and wearing rings of different colors on all ten fingers has just arrived at the entrance to the forbidden area. ?This man, who is exuding jewels and jewels, has a pair of gold-like pupils. It is "Golden Eyes" Miso! Looking at the narrow passage in front of him, Miso''s slightly fat face flashed with joy. Found it, right here! On the Seven Seas, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. ?Misuo''s "golden eyes" are actually a natural ability he acquired, called [Treasure Hunter]. The location of the secret treasure can be found relatively accurately. ? Misuo also relied on this ability to make a fortune from a small businessman, and eventually became a big businessman of the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]. However, as a businessman, Miso''s own combat power is very average. With the help of various magic potions and secret techniques, he barely reached the fifth level. But as we all know, if strength is not enough, money is needed! ?For this treasure hunt, Miso hired two fifth-level mystics and several fourth-level mystics. ?Calculating their strength on paper, their group is probably the strongest group of outsiders in [Sand Island]. ?The reason why Miso is willing to spend a lot of money to explore the treasures of [Sand Island]. It was because he had heard the news beforehand and knew that this treasure was not just money, but some kind of secret treasure with great potential. Once obtained, subsequent benefits will continue to flow like a cornucopia. At that time, maybe Misos ranking in the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] can be improved! ?Thinking of this, Misuo''s heart became more and more fiery, and he ordered the subordinates around him. The treasure is inside, lets go! However, as soon as Misuo took a few steps into the corridor, his face couldn''t help but change slightly. Damn it! Why is the gravity here so heavy? ?Other followers also showed strange expressions. Not all of them were good at physical qualities, and it was very difficult to move forward under this terrible pressure. Soon, one or two Level 4 Secret Pathers fell behind. ?Although Misuo is at the fifth level, his true strength is actually no different from an ordinary fourth level. ??Before he reached the end of the corridor, he was already out of breath and sweating profusely. But fortunately, he has the ability! I saw a faint halo of light emitting from the ring on Miso''s right thumb, helping him resist the heavy pressure on his body. After taking a long breath, Miso also noticed the fresh footprints on the ground and said in surprise. No, someone got there before us! The fifth-level mystics hired by Miso are twin brothers named Matthew and Matthew. As an older brother, Matthew comforted himself: "Master Misuo, don''t worry." This is a place where even we have a hard time walking. There will definitely be more dangerous tests in the future, and ordinary people on the secret path will not be able to persist for long. Matthew also echoed: "Yes, yes, as long as we walk slowly at our own pace, the treasure will definitely be ours." Hearing this, Miso breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after, the group finally walked out of the corridor. ?Except for the Matthew brothers and two or three fourth-level mystics, most of the followers seemed to be struggling. Lord Miso, look quickly, there is a body there. Matthews eyesight was sharp and he quickly discovered the corpse of the dead fog wolf not far away. This is...a wolf? Misuo walked closer and observed for a moment, then speculated: "Could it be a wild wolf that strayed into this place from the desert?" But it looks so ugly, and it smells like rot. Its...is it a sword wound? Could it be the guy who entered the treasure place before us? ?Misuo''s strength is not satisfactory, but his powers of observation are far beyond those of ordinary mystics, and he can discern a lot of information at just one glance. Matthew on the side quickly stepped forward and protected Misuo: "Master Misuo, please be careful!" Theres something weird about this corpse! Misuo didnt take it seriously and laughed: Its just a corpse, what else can there be Before he finished speaking, a hoarse roar suddenly sounded from the wolf carcass below. ??The Death Mist Wolf, which had been divided into two halves and could no longer die, actually stood up with half of its body, and rushed towards Misuo from the left and the right. Matthew''s eyes narrowed, he raised his spear and swept it across. The weapon he used was a spear that was rarely seen among pirates! ??But when this shot was fired at the dead fog wolf''s body, it made a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the heavy force made his palms numb slightly. "Not good, Master Miso..." Matthew''s expression changed suddenly. He originally wanted to sweep away both halves of the body with one shot. But the strength of the Death Mist Wolf was beyond his expectation, and he could only stop half of the corpses. Fortunately, when the remaining half of the wolf corpse was about to approach Misuo, the ring on his right index finger flashed, knocking him away. After enduring such a heavy blow, the body finally settled down. ifier Misuo was shocked: "It''s like this, but it can still move?" ?Moreover, recalling the feeling of the defensive spell just now, he came to a conclusion. The bone density of this creature definitely exceeds that of ordinary alloys, and even rivals that of fine carbon steel! But, there is still someone who can split it in half with a sword? ?Misuo became more and more surprised. He originally thought that the person who killed the wild wolf was just a boy who was lucky enough to wander into this place by mistake. But now it seems that the strength of the other party cannot be underestimated! Miso asked again: "Matthew, Matthew, can you do such a thing?" After thinking for a moment, Matthew replied: "With our strength, it is not difficult to defeat this wild wolf." "But it''s definitely not possible to cut it in half cleanly like this." After this small episode, the group continued to move deeper into the black mist. ?But at this time, even the dullest person can detect the weirdness and danger of this black fog, and the atmosphere becomes more heavy and depressing. Along the way, everyone encountered the bodies of several dead fog wolves one after another. Or cut in half by a sword. Or the bones all over the body were shattered, as if an irresistible pressure had been exerted. Misuo and others became more and more frightened as they watched. Judging from these traces, the person in front seemed to be surrounded by these weird wild wolves, and he forced his way out of the pack. Brothers Matthew asked themselves, letting them kill so many strange wolves would cost them a lot. Not long after, among the corpses left in front, existences different from wild wolves began to appear. A ferocious giant scorpion that is more than ten meters long. There are also huge lizards that are poisonous. ??There are also ugly sandworms with crystals all over their bodies... ?These creatures that originally existed in the desert seemed to merge with the strange black mist after arriving in this forbidden land, creating a group of weird, rotten but powerful creatures. ?Just the remaining coercion on their corpses made Misuo and a group of fourth-level mystics frown, and secretly felt fear in their hearts. The good news is. Around these corpses, some traces of battle finally appeared. ?The extremely solid ground and rock walls are all filled with huge potholes, as if they had been ravaged by a storm. ?There are also deep ravines tens of meters long, as if the earth has been torn apart by something. Even Matthew and Matthew, who were on the fifth level, couldn''t help but take a breath of cold air at the sight in front of them. Matthew looked at Misuo and solemnly reminded him: "Mr. Misuo, the physical strength of the man in front is definitely far greater than that of my brother and me." Do you want to keep going? To be honest, Miso was also shocked by what he saw and heard along the way. In the outside world, various secret techniques can also achieve such power. But this is [Sand Island]! The combat power of physical strength occupies a huge proportion. ?However, when Laidu came here, he was really unwilling to not see the true face of the treasure! ?So, Miso gritted his teeth and said: "After so many battles, even if he is not injured, he must have suffered a lot of losses." We still have a chance! Keep moving forward! Hearing the order from their employer, the subordinates could only move forward even if they were a little uneasy. But then, they lost their previous good luck and encountered several corrupted creatures one after another. Even with the **** of Brother Matthew, there were still some casualties among the troops. After meeting these monsters in person, the group clearly understood how terrifying they were. Corrupted monsters are generally thick-skinned and difficult to kill. They can also travel short distances in the black mist. Several fourth-level Mystics unfortunately died under the sneak attacks of monsters. Not to mention, monsters also have natural abilities such as violent poison, feigning death, and secret power erosion. Both Matthews felt very anxious and suffered some minor injuries. ?At this time, they finally knew how perverted the guy in front of him who slaughtered the corrupt monsters all the way was! Such a record can only be described as "brilliant"! at the same time. ?Shane had no idea what was happening behind him. At this time, he followed Sha Jingjing to a grave. (End of this chapter) Chapter 217 The entire forbidden land is whispering his name (please subscribe!) Chapter 217 The entire forbidden land is whispering his name (please subscribe!) It is said to be a tomb, but it is actually a forest of simple stone monuments. Most of the stone tablets are made from local materials, chiseled from the surrounding ground and rock walls, and come in various sizes and shapes. Some are even just a fist-sized stone. ?The names of those who passed away are scrawled on it one after another. Among the stone tablets, Xia En also saw a lot of white bones, directly exposed in the air. ?It is not difficult to imagine how many members of the Yongyue Clan were buried here. "This is?" Xia En frowned slightly and looked at Sha Jingjing aside. After approaching this tomb, Sha Jingjings expression became extremely solemn. This is the cemetery of our ancestors. It is said that only by burying the corpses of fellow tribesmen here can their souls rest in peace. Her voice was very soft, as if she was worried about disturbing the souls of her ancestors who were sleeping here. Similarly, this is also the task of every Yongyue clan members coming-of-age ceremony. Only those tribesmen who pass through the forbidden area and successfully reach this cemetery will have their courage and strength recognized by their ancestors, and thus receive their blessings. At this time, Xia En thought of the few corpses he had seen along the way. Sha Jingjing originally wanted to collect the bodies for them, but due to the critical situation, she had to give up. Thats right. Sha Jingjing said: "Those corpses are from tribesmen who failed to pass the test in the forbidden area." Generally speaking, those who come after you have the responsibility to collect the corpses of those who came before you. But in recent years, the forbidden area has become more and more dangerous. Many tribesmen have tried their best just to get here, and they are unable to bury the bodies of their predecessors. The people who are still alive are more important than the people who have passed away. Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood why this cemetery looked so messy. The gravity in the forbidden area is far higher than that in the outside world. Even the Yongyue Clan, who are naturally physically strong, would have difficulty breaking through the ground here, which is as hard as alloy, and burying corpses underground. ?The ability to chip away those large and small rocks is already their limit. Over time, this strange bone burial place emerged. ?The stone tablets that rise one after another in front of us coldly bear witness to the desperate struggle between the Yongyue tribe and the environment and destiny in this barren land for thousands of years. ?Xia En stared at the land in front of him quietly and asked after a moment. What is the blessing from the ancestors? Sha Jingjing thought for a moment, untied her robe and pulled down the collar. There was a pale silver mark on her smooth and delicate wheat-colored skin higher on her chest. ?Shaan had noticed this mark before. Sha Jingjing once took out a dark yellow long bow and arrows from it, which seemed to have functions similar to space equipment. ?Now, after taking a closer look, Xia En saw ?This mark is actually a wolf head pattern. Furthermore, in this cemetery, this mark is still flickering brightly and dimly, as if it is breathing or resonating with some power in the cemetery. However, due to the special location of the mark. At this glance, Xia En inevitably saw some scenery that he shouldn''t have seen. I have to say that although Sha Jingjing is not very old, her figure is fully developed and she is quite promising. ?Under the current circumstances, Xia En naturally had no charming thoughts in his heart. He just continued reading with respect and no disrespect. On the other hand, An on the side could not help but take a step forward, showing a hint of hostility. ?? Tracey sensed An''s voice and her expression was very strange. But when she was about to speak, she saw An''s cold gaze. Tracy had a feeling that if she really spoke out what An was feeling at this time, she would definitely die miserably! ?The little goblin just silently closed its mouth and said nothing. Fortunately, Sha Jingjing is a girl after all, so she is somewhat shy. Soon, she put her robe back on with a blushing face and explained: "This is the blessing of the ancestors." Warriors who receive the blessing will not only have their bodies greatly strengthened, but may also gain some special abilities. Only after receiving a blessing can we have the ability to transform into a giant wolf. In our clan, this process is called...awakening! "I see." Xia En was thoughtful. In many races other than humans, there are ways of gaining power that are different from the Secret Path. For example, the Elvish language of the elves and the blood power of the Balrog clan. ??The growth of Bronze Dragon String Song and the bloodline transformation of the blood clan Fei Ya also belong to similar promotion paths. Hence, for some races, it is difficult to use the level of the secret profession as a criterion for evaluating strength. At this time. Sha Jingjing had a sudden thought: "By the way, Mr. Xia En, if you are really the holy son of our clan, you might also be able to receive the blessings of your ancestors." "ah?" Xia En was stunned by her strange thinking and said, "But I''m not a member of the Yongyue Clan." What if you actually are! Sha Jingjing boldly guessed: "Maybe you are one of our clan members living overseas." I have never seen an outsider with such a strong body that can perfectly adapt to the environment of [Sand Island]. Shaan shook his head. ?With the existence of a race column on the panel, he knew very well that his bloodline was in no way comparable to that of the [Yongyue Clan]. Xia En sighed with emotion: "The reason why I have such a powerful body is all due to my own efforts!" Although there is a little help from [Eye of the Secret Sea]. But the hard work of spawning monsters and leveling, purchasing important components for the [Black Swan], and upgrading the hull...how could it not be his own efforts? Sha Jingjing also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Xia En said, so she just added. Youre here anyway, so just go and give it a try. Even if you dont get the blessing from your ancestors, you wont lose anything. Moreover, Mr. Shane, the injuries on your body... ?In the fierce battle just now, Xia En was inevitably injured. In addition, the black mist contained the filthy nature of "Evil Siming", which greatly hindered the healing of wounds, causing him to look a little embarrassed. Although it has little impact on combat effectiveness, it is not at its peak after all. Perhaps the phrase "Everyone is coming" has a strange magic power, Xia En said after thinking about it. How did you obtain the blessings from your ancestors? Go there! Sha Jingjing reached out and pointed toward the center of the cemetery. I saw an area that looked like an altar there. ?Xia En and his group approached the altar and soon found a totem pole standing on the altar. The totems painted on the pillars are very similar to the textures on the previous [Moonlight Boat]. ?Seeing this altar, An, who was behind Xia En, suddenly stopped. ?Shane looked at Tracy with questioning eyes. Tracy hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "An feels like he has seen this altar somewhere before..." "Um?" ?Xia En glanced at An in surprise. Theoretically, after An is awakened from the post-flood era, his range of activities should only be around the [Duke Island]. Why do you feel familiar with an altar of the [Yongyue Clan]? Could it be said that it was before An fell into a deep sleep? ?While thinking about it, Xia En was also silently observing the altar. ?Not only the totem pole, but also the floor of the altar has silver and blood lines. ?The entire altar is full of a rough and primitive feeling, but there is also a faint aura of dominance in the wilderness. In Xia En''s perception, the mysterious power in the center of the altar seems to be much stronger than outside. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? with strands of strange and mysterious power constantly seeping out of the air, some of which are actually being inhaled by the bones of the ancestors of the Moon Wing clan. The ancestor worship of the [Yongyue Tribe] is indeed unique. Xia En sighed secretly: "But what about this sense of intimacy?" ?On the way to the altar, he felt a mysterious call. ?This kind of call is somewhat similar to the call of [Secret Sea] to perform the promotion ritual, but it is different, but both have an indescribable affinity. Sha Jingjing said: "As long as you step onto the altar, you will be blessed by the souls of your ancestors." Without any hesitation, Xia En finally decided to trust his instincts and stepped onto the altar. The next moment, a sudden change occurred! At the same time that Xia En and others were exploring the altar of the [Moon-Yong Clan]. Misuo and others from the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce finally killed a mutated giant sandworm with great difficulty. ?For this reason, two more fourth-level followers died. Those who survived generally suffered serious injuries. ?Misuo walked up to the corpses of the two followers, bowed respectfully, and then put them into a special space ring. The two of them died for me, and I should collect their bodies for them. ?Misuo turned to look at the other followers and said seriously: "Not just the two of them, I will do this to all the followers who died on the Sand Island." And, I will also give five times the pension to your relatives. This is the promise of me, Miso, a businessman! For a businessman, the most important thing is credit. Misuo''s words made the followers present look slightly relieved. ?The danger level of this treasure place far exceeded their expectations, which also made some people think about retreating. ??If they hadn''t signed a contract when they were hired, I''m afraid many people would have chosen to turn around and leave. Suddenly, Matthew, who was among his subordinates, turned to look at the black mist behind him and said in a wary tone. Be careful, someone is following you. ?Everyone immediately turned around and saw an ugly man with scars on his face walking out of the mist. Gal the Madman! ?Seeing this person, Matthew''s expression suddenly changed. ??Although they are both fifth-level Mystic Pathfinders, the reputation of Crazy Gal is far higher than that of Brother Matthew. ??When Gal became famous, Matthew and Matthew were still two unknown people! Furthermore, as a big pirate, Garr is bound to have a large number of crew members with him. As expected. ?After Gal appeared, several pirates came out one after another behind him. ??What these pirates have in common is ?Has a good aura, ferocious appearance, and a cruel expression with a hint of madness. It is said that when Garr recruits pirates, he will deliberately choose those with psychological and mental problems, which are what ordinary people call "madmen!" This is one of the reasons why Gal is called a "fanatic". Some pirates even called him "the savior of madmen!" ??The man with bandages all over his body looked at Misuo and his group with snake-like eyes, and said in a sinister tone. Captain, do you want me to blow them all up into the sky? Leo the Bomb Maniac! Hes here too! ?Seeing this bandaged man, Matthew and others became more and more nervous. ?Although Leo is only a third-level mystic, he possesses a unique explosive formula that can be combined with his own secret skills to exert astonishing power. It is rumored that Leo''s bomb once almost destroyed an island. ?Other ferocious pirates are all targeting Misuo and others with ill intentions. ?That look in his eyes didnt look like he was facing his own kind, but like he was looking at pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered! Madman! Matthew cursed in his mind: "These pirates are all madmen!" ??He would rather face a few more giant sandworms than deal with this group of lunatics who have no inhibitions. Because the actions of the sandworms can be traced after all, but no one knows what a group of madmen will do in the next second. ?Seeing the smell of gunpowder in the air getting stronger and stronger, the fanatic Gal suddenly spoke. [Tianqi Chamber of Commerce] is an old friend of ours, and the previous cooperation has been very pleasant. You are not allowed to attack them without my order. Hearing this, Miso and the others couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief. But the words of the bandaged man Leo made their hearts hang high. What if they want to compete with us for the treasure? ??Gar said with a smile: "It doesn''t matter who gets the treasure." After all, we are pirates! Isnt it just a matter of snatching the treasure back from them later? Misuo''s face turned livid when he heard this. Anyone who is slighted like this will feel angry in his heart. However, given the strength of both sides, once a fight begins, both sides will inevitably suffer losses, which will also give others an opportunity to take advantage of. Therefore, Misuo simply said to his subordinates: "Don''t worry about him, let''s go!" Subsequently, the two groups of people, Misuo and Gal, maintained a strange tacit understanding and moved forward in the dark fog one after the other. ?The two sides are afraid of each other and wary of each other, as if a war may break out at any time, but they dare not actually start a war. Coupled with the danger in the surrounding dark fog, both groups of people were a little disheartened. In fact. Because of the dull heartbeat before, many outsiders have come to this forbidden area. But they were generally weak in strength and suffered serious losses almost as soon as they entered the forbidden area. ?Only a few people can pass through the high-gravity tunnel and reach the area where the black fog is. ??When they encountered the two powerful waves of explorers, Misuo and Gal, they were all horrified and just wanted to hide away. It can be said that at present, these two groups of explorers are the two strongest forces in the forbidden area. Just after they trudged through the black mist. ?A bright silver moonlight suddenly lit up in front of my eyes! ?This moonlight seemed to span time and space, swaying down from an unknown place, illuminating this dark forbidden place. Soon, everyone saw... Under that moonlight. Surrounded by countless tombstones and corpses. ??A handsome man stood impressively! The huge ancient will turned into the shadow of a giant silver wolf, hovering above his head. ?The black mist filled with malice condensed into **** hands, trying to drag him into the endless abyss. This moment. Even Miso and Gal couldn''t help but hold their breath. Everyone seemed to have only the man bathing in the moonlight in their eyes. At this moment, the man opened his eyes. Endless moonlight, starlight and darkness swirled and bloomed in his eyes. Vaguely, everyone seemed to hear countless overlapping murmurs. ?That is the soul of the ancestors in the entire cemetery, whispering his name Shane! (End of this chapter) Chapter 218 Overall quality 50! Soul power transformation! Chapter 218 Comprehensive quality 5.0! Soul power transformation! Beside the altar where the moonlight shines. Sha Jingjing looked at the scene in front of her blankly, and for a moment she wondered if it was her hallucination. She thought it was true that Xia En could get blessings from his ancestors from the altar, but she never thought that such a big commotion would happen! In her memory, no tribes coming-of-age ceremony could trigger such a vision. ?Taking Sha Jingjing herself as an example, when she received the blessing from her ancestors, only a small patch of moonlight fell on her head. The huge gap is evident. Sha Jingjing couldnt help but cried out with grievance: Ancestor, who is your descendant? ??But then I thought about it, doesnt the performance of the ancestors soul just prove that there is a deep connection between Xia En and the [Yongyue Clan]? Yes! Sha Jingjings eyes shone brightly and she murmured to herself: The prophecy is indeed correct, Captain Xia En is the Holy Son! Perhaps he is really one of our lost tribesmen! ?The girl''s eyes widened and she looked up and down Xia En''s body, carefully looking for any trace of the wolf''s tail or ears. Even Sha Jingjing was so surprised, let alone the other people who came here. These voices seemed to be calling a persons name Xia En! The name they whispered was Xia En. Could it be that man? When everyone is talking about it. ?Misuo looked at Xia En under the moonlight and asked curiously: "Who is this person?" Have any of you heard of it? Most of the followers shook their heads with blank faces. Matthew also said: "I have no impression of this name at all." Only one of the subordinates thought for a long time and said: "Xia En..." I remember, this seems to be the captain of a ship called the [Black Swan] that was jointly wanted by several islands some time ago? His tone was rather uncertain: "This captain''s rank should only be...third level?" Only the third level!? Hearing this, everyone couldn''t help but have strange expressions on their faces. ?No wonder they have never heard of this name. Level 3 Secret Pathfinders can indeed be considered powerful in remote sea areas. But for this group of people, the weakest ones are all the fourth-level mystics, and there are two and a half level five mysticsMisuo can only be considered half of them at best. Where would they pay attention to the news about a third-level mystic? However, his current aura is obviously not only the third level. Matthew made a judgment: "I''m afraid it broke through the fourth level recently." Its just the fourth level, who isnt? The other subordinate couldn''t help but laugh, and looked at Xia En with a bit more greed. Maybe hes just a lucky guy who came here before us and got this benefit. Lord Miso, why not Misuo shook his head: "There''s no rush yet." ??If this Xia En was really an ordinary fourth-level Mystic, he would definitely take action without hesitation. But Miso remembered what he had seen and heard along the way, the devastated environment and the miserable monsters that died... If those results were all left by the man in front of you. Then, his strength cannot be judged by a simple fourth-level Mystic. ?Misuo glanced at Gal and the others next to him with his peripheral vision, and thought to himself: "Besides, there will be people who can''t calm down first." As a boss who spends money, Miso still has this prestige. As soon as he spoke, the followers secretly suppressed their plans to take action, but deep down in their hearts, they were inevitably a little ready to make a move. at the same time. ?Shane has no idea what other people think. He was in a very special state right now, and his whole body and mind were immersed in the bright moonlight around him. Traces of magical and mysterious power poured into Xia En''s mind, as if it was washing and purifying his soul, which was indescribably refreshing. ?This secret power is somewhat similar to the power of [Moon Flower Essence], but there are significant differences. Moonlight Essenceis more inclined to strengthen the physical body. This mysterious power has obvious spiritual attributes, making Xia En''s spiritual power stronger and his soul becoming clearer and tougher. No matter what era you are in, the soul is an extremely mysterious realm. ?Secret treasures that can strengthen the soul are often of immeasurable value. Xia En vaguely sensed that these soul-enhancing powers came from the remaining ancestor souls in the altar. It was like all the secret power accumulated over the past thousands of years was generously gifted to him. ?This surprised Xia En, but also made him feel a little surprised. Why did the ancestor of [Yongyue Clan] treat him, a newcomer, so favorably? Soon, Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the moonlight was still shrouding Sha Jingjing, An and Tracy. This is probably because ?This accumulated secret power was too huge for Xia En''s soul to absorb even if it burst, so he gave part of the profit to them. ?However, it is not difficult for Xia En to understand that Sha Jingjing received this gift. After all, he is his descendant, so some care is normal. How come even Ann and Tracey are involved? ??If the soul of the ancestors is to be selfless, other people present should also be baptized by the moonlight. This is another place that confuses Shane. Gradually, after the intoxicating absorption, Xia En''s soul seemed to be temporarily saturated, making it difficult to inhale any more secret power. This kind of thing that can feed the soul in one breath is probably something most people would never dare to dream of! By this time, his mental strength had doubled compared to before! Suddenly, several lines of information emerged. You have received a gift from the soul of the ancestors of the Yongyue Clan! Soul power is greatly enhanced! Comprehensive quality: 4.615.0! An improvement of about 0.5, which doesnt seem like much. But Xia En clearly felt that the benefits of this soul enhancement were far more than just a short-term increase in combat power. ?His perception, mental resistance, absorption efficiency of secret power, and understanding of the field... have all undergone earth-shaking changes. These benefits may not be apparent yet, but in the long run, they are definitely a good thing. Xia En had just digested these secret powers, and before he had time to feel his own state carefully, he heard an old voice coming from the moonlight. "Lord Xia En, we have been waiting here for a thousand years in accordance with your order." Now, its time to fulfill your promise. Hearing this, Xia En felt at a loss. promise? What commitment? Furthermore, why do the ancestor souls of the [Moon Yong Clan] know their own names? Also showing a very familiar attitude? For a moment, Xia En even wanted to ask these ancestor souls, did you recognize the wrong person? Just when Xia En was puzzled, even a little confused. ??A long whip made of thunder and fire whipped towards his back. ?Several electric snakes flew towards them, but suddenly twisted in the middle, and then flew in all directions with strange trajectories, bombarding the surrounding rock walls. ?But the strange thing is that an electric snake shot at Xia En''s feet, causing the rocks to shatter into pieces. But after the smoke and dust passed, the altar under Xia En''s feet was still in good condition and not damaged at all. ?Xia En frowned and looked back, seeing several crazy-looking pirates staring at them eagerly. Obviously, these pirates saw them absorbing the secret power in the moonlight, became greedy, and wanted to get a share of the pie. only ??I clearly didnt do anything just now, so why didnt their sneak attack take effect? Could it be the moonlight all around? Xia En looked at the inside and outside of the moonlight and found that the boundary between the two was extremely clear, as if...they were in two spaces! Suddenly. ?Outside the moonlight, the black mist seemed to be stimulated by the sneak attack just now, and suddenly condensed into several big hands, grabbing at the pirate who made the attack. What the hell, look at me ?The pirate''s words stopped abruptly. The moment the black mist''s big hand grabbed him, his body began to decay suddenly. After a few breaths, the black mist''s big hand loosened, leaving only a pool of pus and a skeleton. Seeing this, everyone present was horrified. ?This man died too quickly and too easily! In the past, people thought that the moonlight could easily block the big hand of black mist, and they did not take the mist seriously. But when they suddenly revealed their murderous intent, their danger level made everyone tremble. What the hell, Lao Qi died like this?! ??Someone in Gal''s group was filled with jealousy and said angrily: "It must be that Xia En! I''m going to kill him!" His long sword was gathering secret power, and it was so powerful that he was about to cut it out with one strike. At this time, Gal suddenly said coldly: "Stop, the moonlight distorted the space around him." "Don''t waste your secret power. If you''re not in the same space as him, you won''t be able to hit him no matter how hard you attack." Moreover, it will also attract attacks from those ghosts. ??Gar stared at the black fog with deep eyes. He has noticed that this black mist is obviously different from the previous mist, as if it has special activity. In the black mist, there seemed to be a series of shapeless afterimages. They are the true faces of the Black Mist Master. Not in the same space? ??The pirates were startled, and some couldn''t help but ask: "What should we do now? Are we just going to watch?" ??Gar narrowed his eyes, looked at Xia En in the moonlight, and sneered: "I said, no matter who gets the treasure, as long as we grab it in the end, it will be ours!" There is no way this moonlight can protect him for the rest of his life! ?With Xia Ens hearing, he naturally heard Gals words. But he didn''t take it seriously and turned to Sha Jingjing and others: "Let''s go." Sha Jingjing frowned slightly: "Ahead is the deepest part of the forbidden area. Even I don''t dare to go there." The high priest said that it is the most dangerous place in the entire [Island of Sand]. The coming-of-age ceremony of [Yongyue Tribe] will be a complete success in this cemetery, and naturally they will not go deeper into the forbidden area. Xia En blinked and asked in surprise: "Didn''t your ancestors tell you?" Just now, in his ear, the old voice spoke again: "Please follow the guidance of the moonlight." Xia En originally thought that this voice was talking to Sha Jingjing, but he didn''t expect that it was actually his own "voice channel." "ah?" Sha Jingjing didnt know why, her little face was full of confusion. At this time, the moonlight surrounding them changed again, and began to slowly leave the altar and move forward. Xia En did not hesitate and followed quickly. Sha Jingjing and An immediately followed suit. Just a few steps away, the black fog above Xia En and others suddenly dissipated, revealing a clear sky above. At this moment, the pressure in the air suddenly increased, and wisps of gray gas fell from the air like rain. The pressure has turned into reality! The next moment. An extremely huge and cold will swept across Xia En''s body. ?Once in contact with that cold will, Xia En instantly felt as if he was in a vast icy ocean, surrounded by boundless wind, snow and wild waves. ?Compared with this, Xia En''s will is like a lonely boat, which may capsize at any time. But at the same time as this will swept over, Xia En vaguely heard a sigh. As if to say Youre finally here Thats it again. ??Another tone that sounded like he had seen himself before. What the **** is this As Xia En''s thoughts fluctuated, he suddenly thought of a possibility. ?Perhaps, [Yongyue Clan] and this huge will did not recognize the wrong person. But...the encounter between myself and them is actually in the future that has not yet happened! ?Shaan once guessed that he would have the opportunity to go back to the past like the [Emerald Island] Elf Temple. Perhaps this is how his relationship with the "Yongyue Clan" came about? ?Of course, this is just a guess. ?Xia En suppressed his messy thoughts and continued to move forward. Seeing this scene, the two groups of people, Gal and Miso, did not hesitate and immediately said: "Follow us!" That guy definitely knows the information about the treasure! However, as soon as they stepped into the area covered by the gray rain, not to mention the ordinary fourth-level mystics, even the fifth-level mystics like brothers Gal and Matthew couldn''t help but change their faces slightly. Under the sudden heavy pressure, the fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder was almost bent over. ?This pressure is not only aimed at cultivation, but also at will. ?Those with weak will will only have a harder time walking. Haunted! This is the best way to describe their current situation. On the other hand, under the moonlight, Xia En and his group were walking as fast as flying, and their speed did not slow down at all. ?However, the shelter of moonlight is not permanent. The moonlight covering their bodies was actually being consumed rapidly. As the group went deeper, the consumption rate was also accelerating. But weve already arrived here, how could Xia En back down? He saw that Sha Jingjing and Sha Jingjing were slower, so he simply grabbed one of them and then flew towards the center of the forbidden area at full speed. No! He wants to get rid of us! ?This move undoubtedly stimulated the two groups of people behind him. ?Misuo gritted his teeth, took out a special gem from the space ring, and shouted: "Push it to me!" The gem shines brightly, turning into secret power to relieve the pressure on the followers. ??And Garr let out a long roar, and a layer of blood covered all the pirates with him as the center, blessing each pirate''s body. Immediately afterwards, they rushed forward like wolves and tigers, with a fierce momentum. For a moment, Misuo and Gal held Xia En tightly and were not pulled too far apart. At this moment. A charming chuckle sounded in front of everyone. Suddenly, a beautiful woman who made people''s hearts sway came out. It is the sixth-level powerhouseVampire Twilight! (End of this chapter) Chapter 219 For whom is the door open? Chapter 219 Who is the door open to? I was just wondering why its so lively in the back. It turns out...has someone finally caught up? ?Twilight looked at the people who broke into this place and smiled. ?Her appearance is stunning, and her temperament is mysterious and dangerous. When she smiles, she is more like a rose with thorns, possessing a heart-stirring charm. People know her danger, but they still can''t help but feel moved by her. Its the captain of [Burning Gold], Twilight! She actually came to the depths of this treasure place a long time ago! ??Twilight''s prestige is far greater than that of Shane, and coupled with her distinctive beauty, people quickly recognized her identity and showed a wary look. How can a sixth-level powerhouse who is only one step away from becoming a legend not be in awe? Even under the restrictions of [Sand Island], the total combat power that Twilight can exert is far beyond what ordinary fifth-level mystics can match. ??Whether it is Miso, the Matthew brothers, or the gang of Gal, who is always known for being crazy, they all look like they are facing a formidable enemy. They are just madmen, not fools! ??But after Twilight''s gaze swept across the crowd, it seemed as if she didn''t see these fifth-level powerhouses, and directly locked onto Xia En in the moonlight. Little guy, we meet again. ??Twilight glanced at the Sand Jingjing beside him, and said with a smile: "I didn''t expect you to hang out with this [Sand Saint]." "It really makes me sad, sister... How is this little girl better than me?" ?Her tone sounded ambiguous and charming, but in fact it was filled with biting coldness. Even outsiders like Miso can hear the murderous intent in the words. But it just so happens that you two are here, so I dont have to look for you one by one. The blood of both of you is very good, let me think about it, whose blood should be drained first? Speaking, Twilight licked her lips with her tongue. ?This simple action has a strong sense of charm when she does it, and is indescribably charming and alluring. Even fifth-level mystics like Brother Matthew cant help but feel their heart skip a beat and their breathing becomes a little tight. ?However, everyone also learned a lot of information from Twilight''s words. That girl turned out to be a saint among the indigenous people? No wonder that boy can be protected by the moonlight! From the perspective of most people present, Xia En, who is only at level 4, is not worth mentioning, and he only got here by good luck. Twilights words undoubtedly proved this point again. On the other side, Miso thought excitedly: "It seems like Twilight has a grudge against the captain named Shane?" Its just the right time to take advantage of their confrontation to go deep into the treasure place. Just very quickly, Miso discovered He is not the only one who has this idea! Not far away, Gal and other pirates only paused for a moment before continuing to move forward against the gray rain, using the blood as a barrier. ?Seeing this, Miso did not dare to hesitate, signaled the followers behind him with his eyes, and walked forward quickly as well. But the next moment. A cold voice sounded in everyone''s ears. I said...can you leave? You alone want to get your hands on this treasure? ??Twilight stood there, staring at Miso and Gal with her beautiful eyes. A chill suddenly emerged from their hearts. The previous twilight had actually not paid attention to them at all. It was only now that Twilight began to show hostility towards them. Just like that, everyone felt a strong fear, just like...the fear of cattle and sheep facing apex predators. For the Vampires, physically strong Mystic Pathgoers are the most delicious blood food! Feeling this unspeakable sense of crisis, one of Gal''s pirates couldn''t hold himself back any longer and shouted loudly. You stinky bitch, die! Before he finished speaking, he strode forward and rushed toward the twilight with lightning speed. He wears a finger tiger on his fist, and he is obviously a fighter who is good at boxing. ?Under the gravity environment of the forbidden area, the pirate''s speed was not slow at all. He punched out and made a faint whistling sound. This shows his strong physical fitness. ?However, in an instant. There was a "bang", and a **** stream of light flashed in the air. A **** hole the size of a fist immediately appeared between the man''s eyebrows. The man''s body swayed, and he fell to the ground without making any sound. This fourth-level Mystic Path was instantly killed by Twilight with one shot! Exactly in line with that sentence Ten steps away, the gun is fast. Within ten steps, the gun is fast and accurate! ?However, ordinary firearms cannot have such power in the forbidden area of ??[Sand Island]. ?Xia Ens pupils shrank slightly. He noticed that the power of Twilight''s shot was much stronger than before! It may be that Twilight has gradually adapted to the restrictions of the [Island of Sand], or it may be that she has gained something else in the forbidden land. ??But no matter which possibility it is, this is not good news for Xia En. Even with the blessing of the moonlight, he was not completely sure of the twilight. ??Moreover, at this time, Twilight did not attack Xia En directly. Apparently, she had noticed the strangeness of the moonlight and wanted to wait until the moonlight dissipated before taking action. We must get the treasure before the moonlight runs out! ?Thinking of this, Xia En stopped caring about the battle between Twilight and the two groups of people, quickened his pace, and passed through the increasingly dense rain in front. Twilight was not surprised by Xia En''s actions, she just sneered. Little guy, youd better give up. Even if you see the treasure, you cant take it away. ?Shane just turned a deaf ear and moved on. On the other side, Gal saw the corpse of his companion, a flash of scarlet flashed in his eyes, and he asked hoarsely. Twilight, do you really want to become an enemy of our gang of pirates? ??Twilight shook her head: "It''s not that I want to be enemies with you." "Are you...sure you want to be my enemy?" She turned to look at Misuo and his group: "There is also the ''Golden Eyes'' of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]. If you escape now, I can still let you live." ?Her tone was cold and calm, but it also carried an undeniable majesty and domineering tone. This is the spirit of a sixth-level strong man! Everyone knew that Twilight was serious. But they finally got here and paid a lot of casualties and costs. No one would be willing to leave like this in disgrace. ??Gar and Miso looked at each other and said loudly: "If we don''t kill this woman, none of us will be able to get the treasure!" Her strength is limited by the [Island of Sand]. Even if she is stronger than an average fifth-level person, she wont be much stronger! Lets take action together and kill her! Since Twilight is alone, she seems to be weak, coupled with the temptation of [Norwich Treasure]. ??After all, everyone couldn''t restrain their greed, and they all attacked Twilight. ??Gar roared angrily, and long bone spurs extended from his back and elbows, flashing with cold light. ??The originally folded and shrunk sternum and ribs poked out of the skin and wrapped the entire chest and abdomen layer by layer, like a breastplate. ??Amidst these strange changes in bones and flesh, in the blink of an eye, Gal seemed to be wearing a layer of white bone armor. Immediately, he turned into a white shadow and rushed towards Twilight''s face. Miso on the side was not idle either. The rings on his ten fingers all lit up with colorful lights. Light body technique Bear''s Tenacity Power of the Barbarian Bull Martial Arts Concentration Secret Power Shield Auxiliary spells seemed to be free of charge, and were superimposed on Brother Matthew and other subordinates. ?There is not much else in Miso, but a lot of money! At this critical moment, naturally we will not be stingy with such auxiliary means. After receiving the blessings of many magic spells, Brother Matthew suddenly rushed towards the twilight in the gray rain as if he had been given a shot of blood. ?Not only these fifth-level secretaries, but also the remaining fourth-level secretaries also used their own methods to launch attacks. Such a massive offensive is enough to kill any fifth-level secret pather! It can be done at the next moment. Gar, who rushed towards Twilight, flew out and fell heavily to the ground. Even with the hardness of the ground in the forbidden area, a large hole was made. Immediately afterwards, two gunshots rang out. Brother Matthew''s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly used his spear to block the **** light in mid-air. Amidst the roar, Matthew and Matthew took a few steps back. Many fine cracks appeared on the tip of the spear in their hands. ?But Twilight''s footsteps did not stop there. She took a step forward and gently brushed the neck of a pirate with her fingertips. ?The pirate only had time to smell a pleasant aroma, and his head slipped from his neck, bleeding profusely. In the crowd, every time Twilight takes a step, someone will die tragically. But this woman''s expression was always relaxed and calm, as if she was walking in a garden. Gar climbed up from the pothole, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely gloomy. Damn it, this woman has begun to adapt to the environment in this forbidden area. Once she completely breaks the restriction, no one on this island will be her opponent! Misuo also looked pale. He knew that Twilight was very strong, but he didn''t expect it to be so strong that it would almost lead to a crushing situation. If this trend continues, even if all of his followers die, they will not be able to cause real harm to Twilight. But at this moment. ?The moment Twilight took a step forward, a tiny bit of fire suddenly lit up under her feet. Boom! A violent explosion occurred suddenly, and a crazy flow of secret power poured out. Miso looked happy and thought: "It''s Leo, the bomb maniac under Gal!" He actually planted a bomb under his own peoples feet. He is indeed a lunatic! ?However, after the terrible explosion, Twilight still stood there safely without any injuries on her body. Only a corner of the clothing showed signs of being burned. ??Twilight''s expression became colder and colder, her eyes swept across everyone in the field, and finally landed on Leo, who was covered in bandages. Is it you? Very good, I will leave you a whole body. The golden fire flashed in Twilight''s eyes, and then Leo''s bandage quickly burned. Stop! ??Gar who was behind him shouted loudly, and the white bone armor on his body was vaguely colored with blood. Obviously, he used some secret method and was already fighting for his life. Seeing this, Miso no longer held back, took out an ancient book from the space ring, and used his secret power to ignite it, and the golden light suddenly shined. ?While doing this, a look of pain inevitably flashed across his fat face. ?This ancient book is a legacy of the previous era. It is a special composite spell scroll. The method of making it has been lost. It can be said that the value of this ancient book is higher than all the props he used before. ?This time, Miso not only blessed his men with spells, but also used them on Gal and others. Under the terrible pressure of Twilight, the two forces with evil intentions were forced to join forces to fight! And the effect of igniting the mysterious ancient book is indeed immediate. In an instant, it was as if a powerful buff had been given to everyone, finally causing Twilight''s footsteps to be slightly hindered, unable to go in and out of uninhabited areas like before. But nevertheless. ??Twilight still had the upper hand, and neither Garr nor the Matthew brothers could inflict any injuries on her body. Their defeat is only a matter of time. Suddenly, another heartbeat shook the entire island. It was as if a pause had been pressed on the battlefield. Everyone was panicking and didn''t know what was happening. Hearing this heartbeat, Twilight, who had always been calm, finally changed her expression. She turned around suddenly and looked in the direction where Xia En left. Could it be that "Impossible! I stayed there for so long and there was no response. Why did he change as soon as he came?" ??Twilight was so shaken that she didn''t care about the people behind her. She immediately flashed and chased in that direction. ??The pirates and their followers who were lucky enough to escape could not help but look at Gal and Miso respectively. The two of them gritted their teeth, but both made the same decision. Follow me! Now that we are here, how can there be any reason to retreat? Just in the area in front of you, the gray rain turned from raindrops to raindrops, and became more and more dense. Raindrops hit everyone, causing their bodies to tremble slightly, and the golden light after the ancient books were lit became weaker and weaker. Soon, people saw the twilight chasing a figure in the gray rainstorm. ?That person is Xia En! ?However, what surprised everyone was that at this time, Xia En actually walked out of the shelter of the moonlight and walked quickly under the gray raindrops. The moonlight from before was staying not far away, shrouding Sha Jingjing and An''s bodies. This is what Xia En proactively asked the ancestral souls to do. The pressure in the area ahead is too great. If we continue to go deeper, the moonlight will only be consumed faster. It is better to protect Sha Jingjing and the two of them first and let Xia En go forward alone. ?Seeing this scene, everyone was a little shocked. They have all experienced the power of the gray rainstorm. Even they were walking so hard, but Xia En''s pace didn''t stop at all, even faster than Twilight! ??Is this really the physical strength that a fourth-level Mystic Path user should have? At this time, everyone vaguely realized that Xia En''s arrival here was not just due to luck. Soon, peoples attention fell on the two people further ahead. There is an undulating hill there, which looks like a sleeping giant snake. On the top of the hill, there are more than ten huge bone spurs standing upright, the longest one is a hundred meters long. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like a row of towering masts. ?At the foot of the hill, there is a stone palace, which looks rather simple, but as the only building here, it is very eye-catching. ?And at this time, the door of the stone palace was actually open! (End of this chapter) Chapter 220 Reunited with Carles! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Chapter 220 Reunited with Carles! (Please subscribe! Please vote!) Norwich treasure! The treasure must be in that stone hall! ?Seeing the stone hall with the door open, everyone present couldn''t help but burst into excitement. ?They worked so hard to come to the [Island of Sand] and paid the price of their companions lives and precious treasures, wasnt it just for this world-famous treasure? Right now, the treasure is not far away, so people can''t help but be excited. Several pirates and subordinates could not restrain their impulses and rushed directly towards the stone palace. However, the terrifying pressure that condensed into reality in front of them gave them a blow in the head! ?One pirate rushed so fast that he ignored the horror of the gray rain and was directly pressed to one knee. His whole body was constantly vibrating, and every joint made a clicking sound. In an instant, large and small bone cracks appeared in his body. ??The pirate''s eyes widened, he looked at Gal in front of him imploringly, and murmured. Captain, save me ??Gar looked back at him and determined that he was hopeless. At this moment, a strange shadow suddenly appeared next to the fallen pirate. In the blink of an eye, the pirate''s body showed signs of decay and emitted a disgusting stench. ?This scene shocked several pirates who were preparing to rescue him. Damn it, what is that phantom? This ability seems to be somewhat similar to the **** hand from before? No! Theres more than one of them! Before he finished speaking, people saw strange shadows appearing in the gray rainstorm. ?They barely maintained their human form, some had mutilated bodies, some had weird smiles, and some were simply pieces of rotten flesh. The shadows are somewhere between illusion and reality, with dirty and mysterious power lingering on them, giving people a strong sense of crisis. It seemed like there were countless pairs of greedy eyes scanning back and forth on everyone''s flesh and blood. ?Shaan is no stranger to these shadows around him. They are not real things, but phantoms left over from the past. Just like those Cyclops in the fog on the Island of Giants. ?Perhaps it is the special nature of this forbidden place, or perhaps some kind of strong emotion, which prevents the remaining secret power from completely dissipating, and finally lingers in the human world in this posture. ?It is precisely because of this that these phantoms still possess considerable lethality. This forbidden area is probably an ancient battlefield! An understanding arose in Xia En''s heart: "Those phantoms are the incarnations of the [Apostle of Filth and Chaos] who died here." And their enemies are the ancestors of the Yongyue Clan. ?Beside Xia En, there were also several incomplete shadows, looking at him with malicious eyes. However, beside him, there were shadows of giant wolves one after another, biting, gnawing, or attacking... fighting against those filthy shadows. The two sides fought hard to separate each other and suffered casualties on each other. This is also the reason why Shane can continue to make rapid and steady progress. Xia En became more and more curious: "What happened in this forbidden area back then?" What is the [Norwich Treasure] here that even the [Apostle of Filth] has personally fought for? at the same time. On the other hand, Misuo, Gal and others, without the help of those giant wolf shadows, immediately encountered great resistance after encountering the afterimage of [Apostle of Filth and Chaos]. A lot of their subordinates were already killed or wounded, and some of them died in their hands one after another, turning into rotting corpses. ?However, there is one person who can closely follow Xia En''s footsteps, and his speed does not decrease but increases. That''s the twilight of the Vampires! This woman is indeed the highest-ranking person on the Sand Island at this time. A layer of blood fire suddenly ignited on her body, and she forced herself to fly a short distance against the gray rainstorm, blocking the terrible pressure. The blood fire has a grainy golden color, which is the top talent among the vampiresgold-burning blood! ??The afterimages of the apostles also seemed to be a little afraid of this golden blood fire. The corrupted secret power could not pass through the blood fire and acted directly on Twilight''s body. The two or three afterimages on the road were directly broken and ignited by the twilight. For a time, the distance between her and Xia En was shortening at an extremely fast speed. Got you! When the two were less than five meters apart, Twilight showed a cruel smile and grabbed Xia En on the back of the neck. ??Twilight''s previous threat was not just rhetoric, she really intended to drain Shane''s blood. ?Even Twilight thought about, after catching Xia En, first imprisoning him and draining some of his blood every day like an animal. When you get tired of playing, you can then transform him into a blood slave, or directly hold a grand blood feast with your fellow tribesmen. For ordinary humans, this kind of behavior can be described as extremely cruel. But among the Vampires, this is just a common way to treat prey. To them, how many humans have been hunted is as unknowing as "how many slices of bread have you eaten." Twilight''s grip was so powerful that it seemed as if even the air in his palm was distorted. But Xia En did not dodge, turned around, twisted his waist, and punched Twilight''s palm. Seeking death! Twilight''s lips curved into a smile. ??If anyone thinks that she is only good at using secret firearms, they are totally wrong! Twilight''s body is her most powerful weapon. ?Her body has been strengthened by burning gold blood, and every corner of her body is filled with explosive power. Even her internal organs and bones are extremely tough. ?That seemingly soft and charming body hides a power comparable to that of a Tyrannosaurus! At this time, without the protection of the moonlight, how could Xia En block this grab? However, the moment the fists collided, Twilight''s expression changed slightly. The huge force coming from her palm was far beyond her imagination! After the roar, Xia En stepped back several meters, plowing a deep furrow on the ground with his feet. ?And Twilight was actually forced to take two or three steps back! Seeing this scene, both Misuo and Gal could not help but frown. Even though Xia En is obviously still at a disadvantage. You must know that in the battle just now, only fifth-level mystics such as brothers Gar and Matthew were qualified to fight Twilight head-on. And there are almost no people who can make Twilight retreat! There is a ridiculous idea in the minds of many people. ?The combat power shown in this attack doesnt mean ?Xia En, at the fourth level, has a body that is comparable to or even surpasses that of a fifth-level Mystic Path practitioner? By this time, no one felt that Xia En got here just by luck. "This Xia En is indeed no ordinary person. This kind of talent... can be regarded as a genius." ?Misuo sighed while walking hard. Its a pity that he met Twilight. At least at this stage, he cannot be Twilights opponent. After this fight, Twilight''s eyes became more serious, and her murderous intention became more intense. I admit, I still underestimate you. "In such a short period of time, your strength has improved so much. This kind of talent... is really enviable." "In this case, I can''t let you go!" This will be your burial place! The moment the words fell, Twilight raised the twin flowers and shot them, and in an instant, a stream of light shot out. ?However, black shadows suddenly appeared around them, and the sharp stream of light was weakened layer by layer under the black shadows. When it came to Xia En, it was less than half of its power, and he blocked it with the emerging blood-colored sword. Field? Twilight was moved again. With her rich combat experience, this is the first time she has seen someone display the power of the field at the fourth level! ??The golden fire in Twilight''s eyes continued to burn, and a hazy golden light suddenly appeared around her, like blossoming blood nasturtiums, magnificent and beautiful. This is her [Golden Burning Realm]. Even if it is suppressed by the [Island of Sand] ban, the scope is extremely exaggerated. ?There are blood nasturtiums constantly emerging and blooming in mid-air. Not to mention contact with them, just by looking at them, you have the illusion that the blood is about to burn. Fortunately, Xia En himself possesses the talent of [Blood Power]. ??Although you can''t compete for control of these blood lotuses, at least you won''t be ignited by them to ignite your own blood. In a head-on confrontation, I am no match for her. Even if the second or third stage is opened, it will only last longer. The only hope of life is in the stone temple, the treasure left by Augustine! Xia En''s thoughts flashed, and he fought and retreated, approaching the direction of the stone palace. At this time, the two groups of people watching from a distance were all dumbfounded. Matthew opened his eyes in astonishment and asked his brother, "Am I right?" Is that...the power of the domain? ?Matthew was also shaken, but still replied: "Yes, it is the realm." As fifth-level secret path practitioners, their brothers certainly have their own domain. But in the battle just now, they didn''t use it. ?This is of course not because Brother Matthew doesnt want to use it, but... Can''t use it! Under the special environment in the forbidden area, the consumption of the field of application will be greatly increased, but the power and scope are pitifully small. They will only lose faster if they use the field! ? But in front of me, Xia En, who was only at the fourth level, was actually having an inter-domain confrontation with Twilight? ?This kind of thing is simply beyond their knowledge! ??Madman Gal also completely suppressed his contempt and regarded Xia En as a strong person on the same level as himself. At this time, Twilight pulled out an exquisite hidden sword in her hand, looked down from a high position, and slashed it down with one strike. Xia En met him again with a sword. ?This time neither side spared any effort. The two swords clashed, a shock wave spread instantly, and countless fine cracks appeared. The place where the two people were standing sank more than ten centimeters out of thin air. Twilight raised her eyebrows and said, "What a power! Try this again!" The twin flowers in her hands suddenly bloomed with light, and the two guns merged into one, turning into a long, slender and beautiful gun. Immediately, the muzzle of the gun lit up with a scarlet brilliance. ?Seeing this, Xia En took a deep breath and prepared to use [Double Ship Soul] or transform into a giant to buy more time. But the next moment. Boom! A roar of steam resounded through the gray rain. Immediately afterwards, a white-gold figure, stepping on the white steam, came as fast as the wind and lightning. The terrifying coercion contained in the gray rain and the afterimage of the [Filthy Apostle] seemed to have no effect on her. I can also see a faltering gray -haired man who followed her slowly and slowly, and I do nt know how far it was thrown away. When the steam dissipated slightly, people were able to see the true appearance of this figure clearly. This is a steam rider made of steel, gears and levers! ?That white-gold armor is filled with an indescribable mechanical beauty. ?Her figure has some feminine features, looking elegant and strong, like a flexible female leopard. Such a human-like but inhuman existence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. ??Twilight frowned slightly: "[Platinum Knight]... Carles!" Just being Carles himself, Twilight is naturally not afraid. After all, the other party was once defeated by her. But behind Carles is the Federation of the Seven Seas! ?Her arrival may represent the attitude of the Federation, and Twilight has to treat it with caution. ? But after careful observation for a moment, Twilight discovered that when Carles went deep into this place this time, he only brought a fourth-level mystic? There is no strong support from other federations behind you? Realizing this, Twilight''s eyes flickered. As long as she kills everyone present, no one will know that Carles died in her own hands. ??Although, maybe the federal government will issue an investigation order later. ??But with the federations cumbersome and bloated procedures, by the time the investigation yielded any results, she would have long since stayed away from the [Island of Sand] to fully digest this treasure. "Carles, it seems that you are more naive than I thought." Twilight sneered: "Now that you''re here, don''t leave!" ?Carless ignored Twilight, just looked at Shane and said, "Long time no see." ?Seeing this old friend, Xia En felt happy and said with a smile, "Long time no see." You have become much more beautiful. "Ha ha!" ?The platinum masked man laughed happily: "You have become stronger too!" However, before reminiscing about old times, lets defeat this woman first! Just like last time, get inside me. ?Shaen stepped forward without hesitation: "It''s just what I want!" On the sidelines, Twilight didn''t know what the relationship was between Shane and Carles, but it could be seen that they regarded themselves as common enemies. ?So, without hesitation, she raised the big gun made of twin flowers. The blood-gold secret power quickly accumulated and turned into powerful bullets. At the same time as the streamer was lasing out. ?Carless opened his arms as if to hold Shane in his arms. Then, in the hymn of gears, levers and steam. ? Many parts decomposed and deformed in incredible ways, and then reorganized into a shape that closely fit Xia En''s body. They unfolded layer by layer to form a white-gold armor. ?The moist and hot touch enveloped Xia En''s whole body. The two fit so closely, but there was no discomfort at all. Instead, there was a feeling of being integrated from body to soul, which was extremely wonderful. The buzzing sound of the 32 steam cores gradually overlapped and resonated with Sean''s heartbeat. The surging power blessed him in a wonderful way. After a period of several months. ?Shane and Carles are once again one! (End of this chapter) Chapter 221 Transformation like never before! Kill Twilight! Chapter 221 An unprecedented transformation! Kill Twilight! With a bell-like chime, the meshing of gears, levers and pistons finally subsided. Many parts fit Xia En''s body and were assembled where they should be. In the rising steam, a similar but different [Platinum Knight] slowly walked out. ??The appearance of this armor has changed a lot. It no longer looks feminine. It looks straight and sharp, with a temperament like an unsheathed sword. ??This is an adjustment made to adapt to Carles'' body after he and Shane merged. Not only that, its color is no longer pure white gold. Rather, there are countless dark lines spread throughout the armor, mixed with mysterious and strange bits of starlight. ?The entire armor is both sacred and evil. These two contradictory characteristics are integrated harmoniously into one. As if...that''s how it should be! What is that!? Misuo from behind couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Why is that Xia En missing?" ?All this happened so fast, from Twilight''s attack on Shane, to the appearance of the [Platinum Knight], to the new form of the [Platinum Knight] in front of him, it took less than a minute in total. ?Many people were not aware of what was happening, but were instinctively afraid of this mysterious armor. Their intuition is sending out a strong warning! Matthew stared at the black and white armor in the field and murmured: "Xia En did not disappear, he... put on that armor!" But doesnt it mean that the Federations [Platinum Knight] is arrogant by nature and never wants to let others enter his body? Now whats going on? Just when everyone was astonished. ??The stream of light emitted from the muzzle of the twin flower guns in Twilight''s hand also carried extremely terrifying power, quickly approaching the new form of [Platinum Knight]. This shot was blended into her gold-burning blood. The dazzling blood-fire had the brilliance of broken gold, almost igniting the air. Even fifth-level mystics like brothers Gal and Matthew are not sure they can take this shot. However, when the blood-gold streamer was about to hit the mechanical armor. Those mysterious lines suddenly bloomed with deep black light! ?In the black light, the speed of the blood-gold flow slowed down visibly to the naked eye, as if it had entered a stagnant realm. The power of the streamer is also constantly being worn away and weakened as the black light envelopes it. C Suddenly, in the hum of the steam core. ?A big platinum-gold hand reached out and grabbed the stream of light. Immediately afterwards, his five fingers clenched tightly and crushed it into pieces! ?This scene made everyone speechless, and even Twilight couldn''t help but twitch her eyelids. ?Xia En raised his head, his voice becoming hoarse and dull under the barrier of the mask. Twilight, our battle really begins now! ??The dark lines on the platinum armor are none other than the manifestation of his [Great Dark Sky]. ?Only Xia En, who has personally entered Carles'' body, will understand how comfortable her body is... ahem, how wonderful the state is at this time. ?This is not just as simple as wearing a layer of external armor. Not only the physical qualities are enhanced in all aspects, but also the secret power is increased and the soul resonates. Even the powers of the two realms are superimposed harmoniously. ?Something that you have to say. ?This blessing is very similar to what Xia En felt when he controlled the ship soul of the Black Swan. ?Shaan suspected that this might be a new ability gained by Carles after his rank breakthrough. How is it? My body is amazing, isnt it? ? Carles''s voice directly sounded in his heart: "This is the first time I have opened this completely integrated authority to others..." But your body...eh? Its actually become so much stronger than before? She sounded a little surprised. Although she noticed that Xia En''s strength had greatly improved the first time they met. But in this "completely integrated" state, Carles could more truly feel the heat of his blood, the solidity of his muscles, and the freshness of his breath... It makes the operating power of her steam core a few points faster! ?But more importantly, Carles noticed...the explosive power contained in this body! Compared with before, its like changing from a small fry to a giant deep-sea whale! The overall quality was only about 0.2 at that time, and now it is 5.0, which has more than doubled dozens of times! Carless is backed by the Federation, and coupled with the tilt of resources, it is possible to cross two levels in a row. Xia En, on the other hand, relied on his own efforts to make rapid progress. ??This made Carles marvel, and at the same time he couldn''t help but admire him: "I really saw the right person!" Your potential is even better than I imagined! Thank you for the compliment, but...its about time! Hearing this, Xia En smiled slightly and stared at Twilight in front of him. He also had a lot to say in his heart, but now, he had to kill this old vampire woman first! We are of one mind! The moment the thought flashed through his mind, Xia En''s legs exploded with all their strength. Instantly, the steam core in the legs increased to the highest power, and white steam spurted out. ?The ground under his feet, which was stronger than alloy, suddenly shattered. He tore open the gray rain curtain and rushed straight towards the twilight. Just a fourth-level Mystic...so what if he gets the blessing of a fifth-level [Platinum Knight]? ??Twilight sneered: "Don''t forget, you two were once defeated by me!" ?While speaking, the secret power of the blood in Twilight''s body suddenly boiled, the blood core pulsed strongly, and the gold-burning blood burned everywhere, bursting out with powerful power. She didn''t dodge or dodge, she punched out and faced off with Xia En directly. This is the most primitive collision between secret power and power. Only those who have great confidence in their own bodies dare to fight in this way! An invisible force field centered on the two people exploded instantly. Even the gray rain that brought heavy pressure was temporarily isolated, forming a vacuum zone. The afterimages of the past nearby were directly torn to pieces. Amidst the terrible turbulence of power, Xia En and Twilight stood on the spot. ??Contrary to everyone''s expectations, this time, Xia En did not take a step back, but Twilight took half a step back. Dont underestimate this step. ?This means that, putting aside combat skills and secret techniques, in a simple wrestling match, Twilight actually lost! ?Sha En was beaten by Twilight just now, but after merging with Carles, their physical fitness surpassed Twilight''s. Everyone was dumbfounded. ?Although no one spoke, a bold idea came to their minds Does Shane really have a chance to defeat Twilight? ?That was Twilight who suppressed all of them not long ago! ?After taking half a step back, Twilight also felt a huge wave in her heart. ?At this time, she realized that the combination of Shane and Carles had an effect far beyond that of one plus one. ??Twilight let out a low roar in her throat, increasing the intensity of the blood boiling, and her body almost turned into a blood shadow, wrapping around Xia En. ?Shane''s steam-driven armor collided with Twilight''s delicate hands without giving in, and the air roared. ??The ground under the feet of both sides was also shaking constantly, as if a small earthquake had been caused, which even made Gal and others almost unsteady. ??In this fierce and white-hot fight, Xia En''s chest, neck, waist and abdomen and other vital parts were hit by Twilight more than once, but they were always blocked by the strong armor. ??Twilight''s body was also hit hard by fists and kicks like a battering ram more than once. But with the powerful self-healing power blessed by the burning gold blood, those injuries always recovered quickly and looked unscathed. at the same time. Twilights [Burning Gold Realm] also began to have an impact on Xia En. The air around him gradually gave people a burning feeling, and the blood in his body seemed to be ignited. Xia En had a very bad premonition that once his blood was ignited, he would be dominated and controlled by Twilight. Obviously, this is the ultimate move in the Twilight Realm. It has to be said that as a sixth-level mystic, Twilight''s use of domain power is still far greater than that of Shane and Carles. This cant go on like this. Although our current physical strength is stronger than Twilight, we cannot turn our advantage into victory in a short period of time. It is even more unrealistic to kill a vampire with strong self-healing power. And the longer you stay in this area, the more dangerous it becomes. Therefore, we must break out again and quickly kill Twilight with her unstoppable power. ?Shaan''s brain was working rapidly, and he asked in his heart: "Carles, if my body becomes a little bigger, can you still maintain the fit state?" "sure!" ? Carles said confidently: "My body is actually made up of countless parts and is very malleable." Shaan said worriedly: "I mean, I might become very big!" ? Carles was still a little unimpressed: "How big can it be?" About... more than twenty meters high? How many, how many!? ? Carles was obviously shocked by this number, and his tone was trembling: "Isn''t this too big?" She calmed down and thought carefully before saying, "If I expand my field, I might be able to use steam as a connecting device between parts." Its just that the maintenance time may be short. Then come on! In the current situation, there was not much time for them to hesitate. Xia En even saw a golden blood lotus falling on his shoulder. ?Karlais did not hesitate. A deep sound like the sound of a big bell suddenly came from the chest of the platinum armor. Ring the bell once. Push the lever to activate the piston and pump! ?Countless white steam, centered on Carles'' body, rapidly expanded outwards, fighting and clashing with the golden blood lotus. This is a confrontation between two fields. Toll the bell twice. Press the button and start the engine In the sacred steam, gears, levers, pistons... countless mechanical parts operate at the highest power, converging into a magnificent hymn. Ring the bell three times. Sing with one voice, Praise to the God of Steam and Steel! At the same time, Xia En pressed his wrist and whispered to himself. Transform! ?His and Carles'' voices seemed to overlap at this moment, resounding in the ears of everyone present. ??Rumble ??Xia En''s body was full of energy and blood, his muscles were trembling, and his figure had skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed from the size of an ordinary person to a tall giant. Three meters, eight meters, fifteen meters ??This time through transformation, Xia En has surpassed his previous limit, reaching a height of nearly 25 meters. ??And many mechanical structures also expanded and changed based on his body. ?However, compared to Shane''s body, Carles'' size is still too small. So, she simply concentrated most of the steam core on a few separate parts, such as fists, arms, and joints like knees and elbows. It can be said that she changed from a fully armed full-body armor to a simple set of exoskeleton armor. ?However, the steam escaping around made up for this. ??The hot white steam wrapped around Xia En''s body, forming a unique armor that had never been seen before, barely maintaining the operation of those mechanical parts and steam cores. At this moment, he was like a god, entering the world surrounded by steam and steel. ??If you let Xia En describe it. To use an inappropriate metaphor, he is like... changing from a Kamen Rider to a Gundam! Its simply something that shouldnt be on the same set. ?Gar, who was not far away, stood up in shock, looked in the direction of Xia En, and shouted uncontrollably: "What is this?" Is this the power that a fourth-level Mystic Path user can possess? The eyes of the others were equally horrified and horrified. ?What''s worse, he fell to his knees directly on the ground, trembling and murmuring. Twilight''s body trembled slightly. In front of this giant, her first thought was to run away! Before Xia En could experience the unprecedented powerful feeling at this time, he heard Carles'' heart screaming. You are too big, I can only hold on for 4 seconds at most! Four seconds? Thats enough! Xia En looked at Twilight below him and said in a low voice: "Now, you are the challenger!" ?The next moment, he punched downwards. The terrifying force was like a tsunami, rushing towards Twilight. ?The air wave was the first to collide with Twilight''s [Burning Gold Realm]. There was no loud noise, not even the slightest sound of explosion or cracking. The entire field was like a fragile white paper, torn into pieces easily, and all the golden blood lotuses withered instantly. ??Twilight suddenly spurted out a mouthful of golden blood, her face was as white as paper, she turned around and ran away into the distance. 3 seconds left Xia En followed up with another punch, hitting him like a mountain bearing down on him. ??Twilight raised the twin flowers and fired several shots one after another, trying to block them with **** light. But in the face of absolute power, struggling is in vain. ??The fist wind easily shattered all the flowing light, and without stopping, it rushed directly towards Twilight''s delicate body. The twin flowers in her hand were immediately crushed, and half of her body was crushed into pulp by the strong wind. ?With a strong desire to survive, Twilight used a method similar to flickering and appeared not far away. However, the scorching steam has locked her. Swallowed her remains directly. 2 seconds left (End of this chapter) Chapter 222 [Norwich Treasure] Got it! The heart of the mysterious sea beast! Chapter 222 [Norwich Treasure] succeeded! The heart of the mysterious sea beast! The giant enveloped in steam and steel raised his fist again. Seeing his action, everyone present felt suffocated. At this moment, they felt as if their lives were being pinched directly in the opponent''s palm by Xia En''s movement of raising his fist. Just less than two seconds. ??Twilight, who was still arrogant before, was completely suppressed by Xia En, without even the slightest ability to fight back. How can such power not frighten people? at the same time. Twilight in the steam stared at Xia En, roaring in her heart: "Impossible!" It is absolutely impossible for a fourth-level Mystic to possess this ability! "Why! Why can two of their defeated generals join forces to master this kind of power?" ?After losing half of his body, Twilight''s body grew rapidly and at the same time, some strange changes occurred. ?More and more tentacles grew out of her body, squirming and twisting, constantly forming deformed arms and terrifying human faces. ??The previously beautiful woman turned into an ugly monster in the blink of an eye! This is the backlash from the power of blood! Absorbing the blood of others will also contaminate the broken souls and resentments of the dead from the blood, and they will be hidden deep in the blood and difficult to eradicate. In normal times, these filthy existences would have no impact on Twilight at all. The reason why [Golden Blood] is called the top talent among the vampires. It is because, as soon as the blood fire burns, these negative emotions will be quickly suppressed, and the blood fire will burn even more vigorously. But right now, Twilight''s condition is so bad that it is no longer possible to suppress the physical distortion! The longer a vampire lives and the more powerful a vampire is, the more blood it has sucked. ??Moreover, among the people who were sucked dry by them, there were many powerful secret path practitioners. ?In addition to being more filled with secret power, the blood of these people will also contain stronger hatred and a more determined will! Kill youKill youKill you Twilight, why are you! I hate it so much Hateful whispers sounded in Twilights ears. ?The faces that grew on her body were beyond her control. They opened their big mouths and kept biting her flesh. ?There was even an arm that tightly strangled Twilight''s neck, trying to drag her into the **** that didn''t even exist. A bunch of trash who have been dead for a long time also want to kill me? Twilight was filled with resentment. ?However, before she could deal with these deformed pieces of flesh, the giant shadow surrounded by steam from high up had already arrived again. ?Seeing that figure, Twilight couldn''t help but trembled in her heart. ?The feeling of being helpless and defenseless, like a lamb being slaughtered, was deeply imprinted in her mind, giving her a bone-deep fear. "No match at all...I can never beat him..." But I dont want to die! ?At this moment, Twilight could no longer muster the courage to fight Xia En head-on. ?Seeing that the fist the size of a small mountain was about to fall, out of a strong desire to survive, Twilight screamed sharply. I surrender! "Spare my life, as long as it is what I can do, I will do anything." ?She deliberately repaired her pretty face, trying to make Xia En feel a little pity. Under normal circumstances, Xia En might actually be a little moved. Its not because of Twilights beauty, but because a sixth-level thug is indeed very tempting. ?The sixth level powerhouse second only to the legend is not a big deal in the Seven Seas. Using her as a thug can ensure that Xia En can walk sideways in many sea areas. But the problem lies here too. Twilight is so powerful! It is so strong that Xia En has no means of counterattack at this stage. Once she is left on the boat, it is like a time bomb that may explode at any time. If she is not careful, she will end up burning herself. As long as these 4 seconds pass, she may come back to bite her. So the best way to deal with it is to completely kill Twilight now! ? Many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind, but in fact, he did not hesitate in his actions. ??With the roar of numerous steam cores, the rush of blood in the blood vessels, and the blessing of countless steams, the power of Xia En''s punch reached an unprecedented level. The air boiled like bombs driven by this punch. ?The ground beneath my feet is constantly cracking, and it is sinking visibly to the naked eye. ?Twilight raised her head in confusion, a look of despair finally showing on her face. Until her death, she could not believe that she would actually die at the hands of a fourth-level mystic. ?Xia En retracted his fist, and the twilight that was under him had completely disappeared, leaving only a large pit more than ten meters deep. This is our exciting combo! ?Carlesss exciting voice sounded in Shanes heart. To be honest, she didn''t expect that after merging with Xia En, they would be able to unleash such exaggerated combat power. It can be said that Xia En almost drained her performance. Especially in her giant state at this time, her body was completely filled up, leaving not even a single gap. ?This is the first time I feel this way... Although a good mecha is very important, a good pilot is equally important! ? Carles thought: "Sure enough, the decision to let him enter the body was correct." but ?Feeling the instability in the steam field, Carles shouted hurriedly. "Xia En, I can''t hold on any longer. The field can only last for one second at most!" Hearing her voice, Xia En did not waste the precious last second. He first looked back at the madman Gal, businessman Misuo and others not far away. ?This look from him scared everyone out of their wits. Didnt you see that even the arrogant Twilight was reduced to a pulp by this giant in three seconds? ??I''m afraid that if this giant punches down, they will all die, right? How can these people have the courage to go against Xia En? ?In the face of absolute power, even the arrogant Gal did not dare to act like a "madman". He just lowered his head honestly and prepared for the final struggle. Fortunately, the terrifying giant did not attack them and just said in a low voice. "roll!" Hearing this, some pirates and their followers fled in the direction they came from without hesitation. Although treasures and commissions are good, life is more important! In the crowd, Gal looked at the giant not far away with twinkling eyes. ?He instinctively felt that Xia En''s unstoppable state might not be able to be maintained for a long time. ??If you wait until the other party falls into a weak state, maybe you and others still have a chance to seize the treasure? only ??Gar looked at his companions who were running away in panic beside him, and couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. They have been completely frightened by Xia En. ?Besides, as long as Xia En has the ability to maintain this state for one second, they will be the ones who die! ??Gar hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "Let''s go!" On the other side, while Misuo breathed a sigh of relief, his expression also darkened. He had to admit that this operation had basically failed. However, after all, the businessman''s thoughts were different from those of ordinary pirates. Miso thought carefully and quickly thought of a possible way to stop the loss. After that, maybe we can do business with Captain Shane? ?Thinking of this, Misuo''s mind suddenly became active. ?No matter what the [Norwich Treasure] is, if you want to sell the secret treasure, you have to deal with the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce], right? ?Although the profit is definitely not as big as monopolizing this treasure, you can still make something! ??Arent mosquito legs meat? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??Just when everyone had different reactions, Xia En had already stepped on the ground and rushed towards the stone temple on the edge of the hill like a cannonball. The gray rain that seemed heavy to him before is now like real, light rain without any hindrance. This distance of hundreds of meters is just a matter of one step for Xia En. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the stone palace, Carles was forced to release the combined state. Many metal parts peeled off Xia En''s body and were reassembled into the form of [Platinum Knight]. ?Shaan released the transformation state almost at the same time, returned to the size of a normal human, and caught Carles in mid-air. ?As soon as Carles landed on the ground, he staggered and was even a little unsteady on his feet. ?Shaan was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw Carles in a weak state. He immediately looked concerned: "Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?" Isnt it because of you? ?Carless glanced at him faintly and said resentfully. That size... is so big and rough that I almost burst from you. ?Xia En looked strange when he heard this. ?Why does this sound weird? ?However, in the final analysis, Carles'' injury was indeed due to himself. Xia En solemnly said: "Thanks to you for helping me this time, I owe you a favor." If you need any help in the future, just ask. The situation this time is different from the previous situation in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] where the two had to join forces. ?Shane never takes other peoples kindness for granted. ??Carles is willing to help out of love, but not to do so is his duty. With the strength of the Federation, it is entirely possible to monopolize this treasure on your own. Do we still say this between you and me? ?Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Carles'' tone was inexplicably angry. ?Xia En looked confused. They say womens minds are unpredictable. Why is it so hard to guess the thoughts of a steam armor? Seeing his expression, Carles sighed and continued: "Am I helping you out of favor?" Furthermore, Twilight is my enemy. Only by joining forces with you can I have a chance to defeat her. Xia En looked at Carles'' body and said worriedly. Having said that, your injury "Don''t worry too much. My physical damage is not serious. Only a few parts are broken. I can just replace them later." ?Carless waved his hand, suddenly changed his tone, and asked mysteriously. Compared to this, arent you curious about what [Norwich Treasure] is? Xia En subconsciously said: "What is it?" "you guess!" ?Under the white-gold armor, there was laughter after a successful prank, as if in revenge for what Xia En had just said wrongly. ?At this time, Shane also discovered another change in Carles She seems to have become...more "human"? While talking, the two of them walked straight into the stone hall without stopping. ?The strange thing is that the heavy pressure from the outside world disappears as soon as you enter the stone hall. ?After passing through a passage, Xia En and the two walked into a hall. The furnishings in the hall are equally simple, with four luminous pearls placed in each corner. ??It emits a faint light, adding a faint light to the hall. ˡ The moment the two of them entered this hall, the heartbeat that shook the whole island sounded again. ? Enduring the intense palpitations, Xia En looked up and finally saw clearly the source of the heartbeat. It was a strange sphere of silvery white with dark green. It carries a terrifying pressure that towers over all living beings, a mysterious aura similar to that of the secret sea, and a vitality that is so vigorous that it is almost overflowing. In addition, it also gave Xia En an indescribable sense of disharmony. Thats right, its a sense of dissonance! ?It is clearly there, but it is out of tune with everything around it. It seems like the whole world is rejecting it. It seems like...it simply does not belong to this world! [Secret Sea Sky Beast!] ?Seeing this sphere, Carles couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Sure enough, it''s it!" Xia En frowned and asked: "[Secret Sea Sky Beast?] What is that?" At this point, Carles naturally stopped being pretentious and explained directly. According to legend, there is a unique creature in the [Secret Sea]. They will travel back and forth between different secret realms and gradually grow. During this process, the hearts in their bodies will undergo strange changes, forming a unique space. This space will grow with the growth of the void beast, and establish a mysterious connection with the [Secret Sea]. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized: "You mean..." Thats right, when their hearts are completely mature, they will evolve into a complete [Secret Realm]! Carles made a surprising statement: "There is a saying that all the secret realms in the world today were born from the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]!" Even Shane was shocked by the information revealed by Carles. At this moment, he finally knew the true identity of the [Norwich Treasure]. ?Thats A complete [Secret Realm]! As long as anyone knows the concept of "Secret Realm", they can understand its value. Why were the vampires so furious and desperate to arrest Xia En and others? Isn''t it because he destroyed the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]? Furthermore, the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] itself is still a decayed [Secret Realm] with little development value. But the heart in front of me is full of vitality. The products, magic potions, and secret treasures inside are definitely not comparable to the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. At the same time that Xia En''s heart was shaken. ??A figure suddenly appeared in front of the sphere in the center of the stone hall. (End of this chapter) Chapter 223 The new home of the [Moon-Yong Clan] Chapter 223 [The Moon Yong Clan]s new home The moment this figure appeared. The surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and Xia En seemed to be on the vast sea, and the world was vast. In front of me is a huge ship with black sails. ?At the bow of this giant ship, which is like a giant sea beast, a tall man with white hair is standing there, lonely but tall, with an aura that seems to fill the world. It was as if...the whole sea was conquered by him and surrendered to his majesty. It is none other than the king of the [Pirate Principality]Augustin Norwich! ?However, his situation at this time was very different from the state in which he lost his fighting spirit and became twilight during the last promotion ritual. Augustine''s beard and hair are all white, and he has a big white beard, but his face is very young and he maintains the appearance of being in his prime. The appearance of the Mystic Pathgoer is related to his state of mind. When the mind decays, the appearance will naturally age. If the mind is strong, the secret power will affect the body, making it look younger. Phases arise from the mind, thats exactly what it is. This is also the reason why the appearance and age of many mystics vary greatly. But due to the change in Augustine''s appearance, Shane couldn''t tell which stage of his career he was in front of him. At this time. ? Augustine turned around and glanced at Xia En. In an instant, Xia En felt that everything inside and outside was being seen through. Except for the faint blue [Eye of the Secret Sea] in my mind, it seems that no secrets can be hidden. ?This feeling is like a basin of cold water pouring over your head. The chill penetrates into your bones. It is indescribably uncomfortable, and it also gives rise to instinctive fear. And this is just a phantom of Augustine''s. In other words, its just a little bit of remnants he left behind. ?At this time, Xia En realized firsthand that Augustine in the promotion ritual was really just a castrated version of the projection. The pirate king in reality is so powerful that he cannot imagine it now! He is worthy of being a ninth-level powerhouse who has faced the gods directly! Fortunately, Augustine only took one look, then restrained his sharp eyes and nodded. Youre fine. But a fourth-level secret path level can have such a strong body, such pure secret power, and even master the power of the domain in advance. "Among the people I know who are on the secret path, there are only a few people who can do this. You are qualified to inherit what I left behind." Hearing this, Shane realized that this Augustines phantom did not recognize him. But then I thought about it, at the time of the [Emerald Island], he attacked in the state of [Projection Body]. In the promotion ceremony, he used the identity of the apostle [John Smith]. ?Besides, its probably impossible for Augustine to know what happened in a promotion ceremony in later generations...right? ??Augustine only regarded himself as a stranger and mystic with amazing talents, and it was natural for him to do so. Thinking of this, Xia En was inexplicably curious. If he took out the [Pirate Crown], what would be Augustine''s reaction? And one more thing. ??If Augustines residual thoughts dont recognize him, who said You are finally here to himself? ??But just as this thought came to Xia En''s mind, he heard the man with a white beard in front of him say. But, look at your breath... Could it be that we have met somewhere before? ??Xia En couldn''t help but be startled. Could it be that in the future, he had contacted Augustine as "Xia En"? ?But if this was the case, how could Augustine not recognize it? Augustine sighed: "In order to prevent a certain plan from being known to the enemy, I took the initiative to delete some key memories." Perhaps, you are in that memory. Xia En''s face changed slightly: "Delete memory?" Planenemies Senior, is the enemy you speak of [Husi Ming]? Hearing this name, Augustine''s eyes became sharp again, and the terrible pressure dissipated again. ??He does not have any ill intentions towards Xia En, but the gap between the two is too big. As long as he does not restrain his aura, he will bring a mountain of pressure to Xia En. ??The abyss-like coercion only appeared for a second and then quickly dissipated. Even so, Xia En couldn''t help but break out in a cold sweat. It seems that you know more than I thought. Augustine''s expression returned to calmness, and he said seriously: "To be honest, this is not a good thing." After all, for some beings, it is possible to be noticed by them just by knowing and chanting their names. If possible, it is best not to mention their names to others. Xia En nodded solemnly: "I understand." Augustine added: "However, since you know the existence of [Husi Ming], I can feel more at ease if I hand this thing over to you." At this moment, Xia En couldnt help but think of the afterimages of those [Filthy Apostles] and couldnt help but ask. Whats so special about the heart of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast], and why do they want to **** it away? Augustine said calmly: "I don''t know." I deleted the most critical part of my memory. So, I can only deduce that this hollow beast heart is a part of the plan. But whether it is an indispensable link or a random thing, only the past me knows. After hearing these words, Xia En''s expression became even more confused. But at the same time, he also noticed a word that Augustine mentioned repeatedly plan! What plan? Is this a plan to defeat [Husi Ming] and drive him out of this world? What role can a secret realm play in such a plan? As if seeing Sean''s doubts, Augustine explained: "Someone once said to me that when the current road is not going to work, you might as well set your sights and hopes on the future..." As soon as these words came out, Xia En was shocked. ?Of course he will not forget that these words were said to Augustine during the promotion ceremony. But why did Augustine know these things in reality? Is it... related to the [Secret Sea]? ??Shaan''s heart was filled with huge waves, but Augustine just continued. So, I did. Perhaps you are curious as to why I want to delete my memory. The reason is simple Im going to die. Augustine''s expression was a little gloomy. He looked up at the illusory boundless sea, with unwillingness, nostalgia, and reluctance in his eyes. There is great terror between life and death. Even a heroic figure like him cannot be completely indifferent in the face of death. ?However, what made Augustine not want to die was definitely not the power in his hands or various material and spiritual enjoyments. But...his ambitions have not been realized, his ideals have not been realized, and his career has not been successful! ?Xia En was vaguely aware of this and couldn''t help but fell silent. Actually, I should have died long ago, on that unknown battlefield. Augustine looked into the distance and murmured: "So many brothers died, only me and a few old guys escaped." "Moreover, the other party deliberately let us go out of contempt and malice." There was a rare sourness in his tone. It is conceivable that the shadow of that battle has always been lingering in his mind like a nightmare. Xia En did not speak. He knew that Augustine now only needed a listener. "During the days when I fled back to the principality, I woke up from my dreams countless times, and even thought about getting over it." But I know that a dead person cant do anything. Only by living can there be hope. So from then on, I made up my mind, no matter how embarrassed or ugly I was, I would survive. For some people, sacrificing themselves for the sake of righteousness and taking the initiative to die is a matter of course. But for other people, they are willing to endure the scolding of others, inner guilt and all kinds of humiliation to survive for the sake of their ideals. Which of the two is greater has been debated since ancient times. Augustine clearly belongs to the latter. Its a pity that this time, my life span has reached its limit. Augustine sighed again: "A living Augustine is certainly formidable." But the death of Augustine will only make people greedy. There will definitely be people who want to dig out valuable secrets from my body and my memories. So, I had to delete the most critical memories. ?Xia En became more and more silent. He thought of the old man who was beheaded in that vision, and he didn''t want to think about how the old man''s body would be treated later. However, there is one thing I still remember. Augustine calmed down his emotions and said calmly: "The [Norwich Treasure] I left behind is actually a gift to future generations." This is the only thing I can do now. "I have only one request. After you obtain this treasure, you must use this secret realm to protect humans when necessary in the future." Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will!" Augustine looked at him deeply: "I don''t have much time, I will take you to see the whole treasure." The whole picture? ?Xia En was a little confused. Augustine said calmly: "You don''t think that the treasure I left behind is just this heart, do you?" After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed, and the surrounding scenery changed. The illusory sea disappeared and turned back into a closed stone palace. ??Rumble All around them, the ground beneath their feet continued to tremble, and the rock formations shattered and fell away. The hill behind the stone palace finally revealed its true appearance. ?That is an extremely huge skeleton! ?After the rock layer soil peeled off, the silver bones underneath were exposed. Those bones were like silver metal, with a mysterious and profound atmosphere. ?To put it bluntly, it is as if it is directly connected to the [Secret Sea], leading to the void in the dark. ?This skeleton is extremely large. At a rough glance, it is at least several hundred meters high and several hundred meters wide, far exceeding any sea beast that Shane has ever seen. Just by looking at the skeleton, you can imagine the terrifying posture of this giant beast in life. This is...the skeleton of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]! ?Xia Ens heart was shaken. The bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] that can give birth to the [Secret Realm] are of course of great value and are definitely an extremely precious material. The moment he saw the skeleton, Xia Ens first thought was ? Can this skeleton be integrated into the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], turning it into the keel of the two ships? If possible, what improvements can be brought to the two ships? To what extent will you be enhanced by [Captains Dignity]? On the sidelines, Augustine said: "I have heard a rumor that outside the [Secret Sea], there is a vast world called... [Void]." It is said that that is the true hometown of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]. Therefore, [Mysterious Sea Void Beast] is also called [Void Beast]. "I once had a bold idea. If a large ship was made from its bones, it might be possible to sail in the [Secret Sea] or even the [Void]." ??Xia En was also shocked by this bold idea, and felt a little warm in his heart. Ship racing in the [Secret Sea]? ? Thinking about it, it seems that it is indeed possible? ?But obviously, if you want to build a large ship that can sail in the [Secret Sea], the skeleton of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is definitely not enough. ??Countless rare materials are also needed. With Xia Ens current net worth, it is obviously impossible to make it up. He immediately gave up this ambitious idea and planned to follow the old method and use this skeleton as a material to upgrade into the "Heart of the Ship". The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step! I would also like to remind you that the bones of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast] have special spatial characteristics. At this time, Augustine said another important message: "Ordinary space devices cannot accommodate its existence." ?Xia Ens face suddenly stiffened. Dont mention it, this is really a big problem. Besides, even if the space ring can hold it, the capacity of his space ring cannot hold so much! Just...an ordinary space device? An idea flashed through Xia En''s mind, and he looked at the mixed silver and dark green heart in the stone palace. ?Isnt this thing just an unusual space device? Just use the heart of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast] to hold its bones... Original decoction? ?Shane had a hellish idea. After a brief rant, Xia En hit the snake with a stick and said, "Senior, please help me put a quarter of the bones into the heart." Augustine laughed and cursed: "You are smart enough to think of letting me help with this." But why only a quarter? Xia En said honestly: "The remaining part is what my companion deserves." ??Without the help of Carles, it would be almost impossible for Shane to defeat Twilight, let alone obtain this treasure. Out of emotion and reason, he would give part of this treasure to Carles. ?These skeletons are also a very important achievement for Carles and can help her obtain more resources in the Federation. In fact, the heart of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is actually the bulk of this treasure, and Xia En has already taken advantage of it. In the distribution of this skeleton, he naturally has to make compensation. ??Moreover, dont think that this quarter of the skeleton is small. It is already the size of a small mountain. It is definitely more than enough to transform the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star]! Hearing this, Augustine nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately you restrained your greed. Otherwise, I will kill you and wait for the next qualified person to come. Xia En felt a chill in his heart and broke out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that Augustine would set a test at this time. Xia En pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "By the way, senior, I have another idea." Can we allow the people of the [Yongyue Clan] on the island to migrate into this [Secret Realm]? This is something he had thought of before. The environment of [Sand Island] is not suitable for human survival at all. If the interior of this [Secret Realm] is not so dangerous, wouldnt it just become the new home of the [Moon Yong Clan]? "sure." This heart is yours and you can do with it as you wish. Augustine smiled and said: "But aren''t you curious about what this [secret realm] is like?" "Um?" ?Xia En was stunned. Before letting them move in, you should come here and see for yourself! ?As soon as Augustine stretched out his hand, Shane''s figure flew uncontrollably above his heart. Suddenly, there was a sudden spin and changes in light and shadow. A whole new world appeared in front of Xia En. (End of this chapter) Chapter 224 The Lord of [Secret Realm]! Plant seeds for the future! Chapter 224: The Lord of the Secret Realm! Plant seeds for the future! Not only was Xia En not unfamiliar with this fleeting feeling, but he was extremely familiar with it. After all, he basically had to do this every time he went [deep sea diving] before. ?However, it is a little different from previous submarines. ??The moment he entered the heart of the Kong Beast, Xia En also felt an extremely huge and cold will, which made his heart beat fast, his blood was restless, and he felt an instinctive fear. Its like...an abyss staring back at me! ??Xia En immediately remembered the several heartbeats he had remembered in succession before, as well as the eyes of the huge will during the heartbeats, and couldn''t help but feel a little horrified. Is this the will of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]? Isnt it dead yet!? ?Only a skeleton and a heart are left, which have gone through thousands of years of baptism. ??If it is still alive, it would be an exaggeration. Xia En thought about it and rejected this guess, thinking. This is probably just the remnant soul of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast], which remains in this heart. Despite this, Xia En still did not dare to relax at all in the face of this will, but maintained a high degree of vigilance. After all, he is now in the heart of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]. If this remnant soul wants to do something, he has no power to resist at all. Fortunately, what Xia En was most worried about did not happen. ?After a brief gaze, the remnant soul suppressed most of its shocking pressure and turned into a silver-white ball of light, approaching Xia En. ?This light group is only the size of an ordinary human head, like a ball of flowing metal. ?At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but when you think about the huge skeleton that is its true body, you can''t help but feel awe. ?However, the next movement of this light group left Xia En a little confused. ?After it floated to Xia En, it neither launched an attack nor communicated. Instead, it moved up and down close to Xia En and observed it in a special way. It feels like... A small dog sniffs around here and there to determine the identity of the person in front of him. But to describe Xia En''s mood at this time, it can only be described as "Are you moved? Don''t dare to move!" After a moment, the silver light ball lit up slightly, and it fell directly into Xia En''s arms, nuzzling him intimately. ?Shaan: He was already breaking out in cold sweat. Who knew that the silver light group would actually do such a thing? But after a moment of careful perception, the light mass is indeed releasing a close emotion, as if it also contains a touch of nostalgia and gratitude? What''s going on? Wait a minute...could it be that like the people of the Yongyue Clan, the will of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] has actually been waiting for my arrival? Xia En thought for a moment and realized this belatedly. Since the sigh of "You are finally here" does not come from Augustine, nor does it come from the ancestral souls of the Moon Ying Clan, it could only be the sigh of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]. ?Thinking of this, even Xia En couldn''t help but look weird. My future self, what have you done? You are indeed here. At this moment, a voice came from the silver light group, more like a thought than a word. Even if you dont understand the language, you can still understand the meaning. "Thank you." I can finally get relief from this. Please accept my last gift. The moment the thought was transmitted, the silver light group twisted and changed, condensing into a strange mark. Finally it landed on Xia En''s chest, right at the heart. ˡ ?Xia En''s heart beat suddenly, and this beat seemed to vaguely echo the [Secret Realm] around him. There seems to be some mysterious connection between the two. ??If someone could overlook this [Secret Realm] from above, they would be surprised to find that at this moment, the entire Secret Realm is trembling. ??More obscure whispers came and went, penetrating into the ears of all the creatures in this [secret realm]. ?Countless birds and animals left their nests in panic, the tall woods lit up with strange lights, and the turbulent rivers set off huge waves... In every angle of the [Secret Realm], mysterious visions are appearing. ?Xia En didnt know anything about this. ?He was just immersed in this strange feeling of heart connection, and felt that something about him seemed to be different. At the same time, several lines of information appeared on the panel. Acquire the status "Empty Beast Heart Seal"! Quality: Legend Description: The gift given by the Mysterious Sea Sky Beast at the end of its life allows you to establish a mysterious connection with its heart. You can put this secret realm into your heart seal and carry it with you. In addition, when you are in the secret realm, you will be blessed by the will of the secret realm. Luck is greatly improved, and combat ability is slightly improved. As your exploration of this secret realm increases, the effect of this status will continue to increase. Perhaps one day, you can become the master of this secret realm through this? Current exploration degree: 0%! Note: Exploring secret properties, opening up territories, mining minerals, etc. can increase the degree of exploration. Hissthis After seeing these descriptions clearly, Xia En took a slight breath. The effect of this state was even more amazing than he thought. ??If he guessed correctly, the so-called "blessing by the will of the secret realm" is actually the "blessing of luck" in some novels! Just like those legendary "children of luck", they are naturally favored by the world and are more likely to have adventures than ordinary people. Although the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] is only limited to this [secret realm], the blessing it brings is definitely considerable. ??Moreover, looking at this description, this ability will be enhanced as he develops the [Secret Realm]? Not bad, really good. A smile appeared on Xia En''s lips, and he thought in a funny way: "Does this count as...carrying a small world with me?" Carrying a [secret realm] with you that can be developed, isnt that just traveling with you? Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, looked at the silvery white light in front of him, and said sincerely, "Thank you." After leaving the brand on Xia En''s heart, the brilliance of the silver-white light gradually dimmed and began to decompose and dissipate. Finally, a voice sounded in Xia En''s heart. I hope you and I can meet again in the secret sea... Soon, the silver-white light group disappeared, and Xia En felt inexplicably lost. ??Although it was the first time for him to see the remnant soul of this empty beast, the other party''s kindness was sincere. ?Xia En is inevitably a little curious, what will it be like when they meet in the future? And how long will it take? ?Xia En took a deep breath and calmed down the distracting thoughts in his mind. With a sudden breath, he quickly noticed the changes in his surrounding environment. The air is slightly humid, the temperature is pleasant, neither high nor low, and it contains a strong vitality. ?This fresh smell can only appear in places with dense vegetation. Xia En looked around. A world completely different from the [Island of Sand] came into view. The first thing you see is a green grassy valley. Unnamed grasses are spread all over the valley, and it is dotted with many small white flowers that Sean has never seen before. Looking further ahead, there is a large clear lake. Xia En came to the lake and stretched out his hand to test. The water was actually warm, indicating that there were hot springs or lava under the valley. There is a kind of white fish in the lake, which is thicker than an arm. Judging from its agile appearance, it must taste delicious. On the other side of the lake, there is an unusually tall forest. ?The trees are lush and green, and the area is so wide that you cant see the end at a glance. ?Farther away, there are seemingly connected mountains, surging rivers, and vast plains. ?Judging from the scenery Xia En looked at, the area of ??this [Secret Land] was larger than [Sand Island]. only The whole secret realm gave Xia En a feeling of familiarity and strangeness. What is familiar is that there is also the sun in the sky, and the valleys, mountain peaks, and forests also look specious. The strange thing is that Xia En doesn''t know every creature here. ?Having been around the Seven Seas for so long, Xia En is no longer the rookie captain who recklessly went to sea, and he has already memorized the common species in the world. He could not recognize any of the creatures in the [Secret Realm], which could only mean that they were all native species of this world. Based on this alone, the value contained in this [Secret Realm] is surprisingly great. The climate conditions here are very suitable for human settlement. Xia En''s heart was filled with excitement: "Moreover, the concentration of secret power in the air here is not low, which means that there must be a lot of extraordinary materials produced here." Plants and minerals infiltrated by the secret power will undergo subtle transformation. In the final analysis, this is where those alienated sea beasts in the sea come from! "but" ?Xia En looked at the sky above the tall forest. ?There, a large number of birds rose into the sky and hovered over the forest, as if they were frightened in some way. Whats going on? Could it be that some terrible creature has awakened? ?Xia En didnt realize that he was the initiator, so he just speculated seriously. Also, with the vitality and concentration of secret power in this secret realm, some powerful native creatures are bound to be born. In fact, the vitality of this [Secret Realm] can only be described as an exaggeration. Even richer than the [Emerald Island] where the Elven Sacred Tree is located where Shane has been. "etc" ?Xia En frowned suddenly. ?According to Sha Jingjing, [Sand Island] used to be an island full of life, but now it has become this dead look. Could it be that the vitality in this [Secret Realm] was sucked from the [Island of Sand]? ?So, what role do [Secret Sea Sky Beast], [Filthy Apostle] and the future self play in this? ?Just thinking about this issue for a moment, Xia En felt a headache. He currently knows too little information to draw any conclusions. ?However, one thing is for sure - This secret realm is very suitable for becoming the new home of the [Moon Yong Clan]! Furthermore, it can be expected that this [Secret Realm] can also bring very rich output, and the income is extremely amazing. But then again, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time and energy for Xia En and a few crew members to develop such a large [secret realm]. This is not conducive to Shane''s job. He is a captain after all, and his main occupation is sea exploration and submarine search for underwater ruins. So, Xia En thought about it carefully and came up with a good idea Collaborate with [Yongyue Clan]! The [Yongyue Clan] built villages in the [Secret Realm], cultivated farmland, and constantly explored other areas of the [Secret Realm]. ??Xia En traded with them using supplies from the sea, including equipment, weapons, food... "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "In this case, don''t I have a private army?" The people of the [Yongyue Clan] are not ordinary civilians. Based on their bloodline and physical fitness, they can basically be regarded as soldiers. ??If coupled with advanced equipment... Such a group of forces cannot be ignored. ?Especially when facing a hostile force with a large number of people, if Xia En suddenly releases this group of men, it may be able to achieve a surprise victory. "By the way, the captured pirates can also be stuffed here to serve as slaves and coolies..." ?Xia Ens eyes became brighter the more he thought about it, and he murmured to himself. And the seeds in [Coral City] and [Ember Treasure] should be able to thrive in this [Secret Realm]. I remember that there were many excellent food crops among those seeds Sure enough, it still has to be farming! ?Out of the simplicity of the Chinese soul, Xia En was very interested in the farming project and felt that it had great potential. When thinking of seeds, Xia En inevitably thinks of something that has been placed in the space ring for a long time The seeds of [Crimson Ancient Tree]! Of course, Xia En has not forgotten this seed, but he has never found the right opportunity and place to plant it. At the moment, this [Secret Realm] perfectly meets the environment that the seeds need. Suitable climate, abundant secret power. ?Furthermore, with Xia En''s protection, this seed will definitely be able to thrive here, without having to worry about encountering disaster before it grows. ?Thinking of this, Xia En took out the dark red seeds without hesitation. Senior, what do you think...of this place? ?As if hearing Xia En''s voice, the crimson seed trembled slightly, and the soul within it woke up. The vigorous vitality all around also accelerated this process. Immediately, the crimson seeds fell on the ground at Xia En''s feet, moving downwards and soon being buried deep under the soil. After a while, a small sprout emerged from it and began to grow slowly but surely. Seeing this, Xia En felt happy and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally settled a matter in my mind. ?At this moment, a quarter of silver-white skeletons appeared out of thin air in the valley. Shortly afterwards, Augustine''s figure also came to Xia En. At this time, this afterimage has become very light. ?This made Xia En a little sad. After all, some of the traces of the pirate king in this world have disappeared. Augustine stared at Shane and said, "I have two final reminders." You can go to a person named Salary, he will be one of the helpers against the gods. Secondly, be careful of the [Truth Society] As soon as the words fell, Augustines figure disappeared into thin air. (End of this chapter) Chapter 225 【Black Swan (3)! 】【Rhine Secret Realm】 Chapter 225 [Black Swan (+3)! Rhine Secret Realm ?Xia En felt a little strange after hearing the last two reminders given by Augustine. "Salary" obviously refers to the legendary King of Salary. But the problem is that Augustines time is too far away from now. Augustine obviously didnt know that the King of Salaries, for whom he had high hopes, had fallen into the dust of history, and only the [Ember Treasure] was still emitting residual heat. ?At this time, Xia En suddenly remembered King Xins evaluation of Augustine in [Ember Shelter] Just a mortal king born in an era without me. It can be seen that King Xin still has a certain contempt for Augustine. Augustine, on the other hand, paid great attention to this later king. ?In Sean''s view, it was still the deeds done by Augustine, with more of a kingly demeanor. But then I thought about it, maybe Xin Wang was still relatively young when he made that comment. It is normal for young people to be a little more energetic. ?Him secretly comparing the words and deeds of the two old kings, Shane thought of Augustine''s second reminder and murmured solemnly. [Truth Society]its them again. He had had several contacts with the Truth Society before. The more you get in touch with it, the more mysterious and weird you feel about this organization. At this time, Augustine once again showed his fear of the [Truth Society], and once again sounded the alarm to Sean. However, based on what happened during the last promotion ritual, it seems that [Truth Society] and [Huisi Ming] are not on the same team? Is there another **** standing behind them? Or, is there something more terrifying than a god? ?After thinking about it, Xia En silently remembered these two reminders in his heart, and then with a thought, a door made of silver light appeared in front of him. This is the ability he naturally mastered after obtaining the [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. To put it bluntly, it is to open the door between the [secret realm] and the real world. ??Although Twilight is dead, there are still many trivial matters waiting for Shane to deal with. Time flies by. In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the battle in the forbidden area of ??[Sand Island]. ?Due to the lag in news from the Seven Seas. Even though the [Norwich Treasure] has been captured by Shane, many pirates and speculators still came to the [Sand Island] to try their luck. However, they did not find the treasure, but encountered ships from the Federation. ?These federal manpower seemed to have been urgently dispatched from the nearby sea area to transport some kind of precious and large items. ?Seeing this scene, the treasure hunters who came to [Sand Island] couldn''t help but sigh. Obviously, [Norwich Treasure] has been taken over by federal officials! ??If faced with ordinary pirates and forces, the treasure hunters might have some twisted ideas or even directly rob them. But thats the Federation of the Seven Seas! The real overlord of this vast ocean! ?Even the craziest pirate would not dare to stroke this tiger''s beard. As for the previously menacing "Crazy Pirates" and the "Gemstone" of the "Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce", they all calmed down in unison. The Outlaw pirate ship left the [Sand Island] directly, and even sailed away from the [Magnetic Sea Area]. The merchants of the [Gemstone] began to cautiously contact the Federation, intending to do a big business. The reactions of these two forces also confirmed from the side The battle for [Sand Island] [Norwich Treasure] has come to an end. Those who came late didnt even smell the broth, not to mention eating meat! ?At this point, many speculative treasure hunters inevitably felt a little regretful, but at the same time, they also heard a somewhat incredible news. The captain of [Burning Gold], a sixth-level strong man, Twilight of the Vampire Race, died on [Island of Sand]! At first, many pirates expressed strong doubts about this. How could a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, who was only under the legendary rank, die here so easily? Until they saw with their own eyes the [Burning Gold] approached the Federation ship in a tragic manner, and after receiving an answer that was not an answer, left the [Sand Island] in despair. ?This news is quite explosive. But in the eyes of most people, this was probably the work of the Seven Seas Federation. ?Only the Federation has the strength to easily kill a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, right? ?However, among a very small number of people, there is still news that Twilight died of a captain named "Shane". Compared with these major events, there have been some small changes that ordinary people have not noticed on [Sand Island]. For example The natives scattered throughout the [Island of Sand] seemed to have suddenly become invisible and rarely appeared on the island. ?The gathering places where the natives gathered became deserted, and the valuable objects in them were also evacuated overnight. Although outsiders were a little curious about this, they did not pay much attention. After all, what does the life and death of a group of strange natives have to do with them? ?Only a few people in the federation discovered this phenomenon, but after reporting it to their superiors, they received a "don''t care" reply. ?As a result, the natives of [Sand Island] soon became a race that only existed in legends. Their disappearance does not seem to have caused even the slightest ripple in history. If the natives continue to live on [Sand Island], they might really end up like this. But the current situation is... Inside [secret realm]. The previously beautiful valley has changed its appearance. A rudimentary village was established in the middle of the valley. The materials for building houses were all local wood. ?These woods are much tougher than ordinary trees but very light in weight. They are excellent building materials. Everywhere in the village, people of the [Yongyue Clan] who took off their yellow robes could be seen. They are each busy, some are repairing newly built houses, and some have just returned from hunting and are dealing with strange and fresh prey. Some are using existing materials to create some primitive and crude tools. But no matter what they were doing, the eyes of these Yongyue tribe members were all bright. That is the hope for a new life and the future! This situation is in sharp contrast to the desperate and confused atmosphere in the tribe before. Its amazing. In just ten days, this place has been completely transformed. On a hill near the valley, the white-gold Carles looked down and couldn''t help but sigh. As expected of you, Xia En. Xia En on the side shook his head: "Actually, this has nothing to do with me." The people of the [Yongyue Clan] are hard-working, conscientious, good at enduring hardships, and possess the wisdom of working people. However, they did not have a good environment and conditions to build their homes before. "And I just helped them and made a small contribution." Carles smiled and said, "Why didn''t I know you were so good at talking before?" Thats because our previous relationship was not close enough. Xia En smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "If you don''t mind, we can actually have some more in-depth communication." Well, it turns out you are waiting for me here! ? Carles heard the subtext of Shane, but also responded straightforwardly. "The Federation has been very kind to me. For example, the materials for strengthening the body this time were actually provided by the Federation." "In addition, my... father also needs my help, so I can''t be your crew member." In fact, the relationship between Carles and the Federation is quite special. At the earliest, Carles was actually regarded simply as a tool. But after she awakened her sense of autonomy, the Federation had to regard her as an independent Mystic Pathfinder. The materials used to strengthen Carles from the third level to the fifth level are naturally provided by the Federation - this is actually equivalent to an investment. The Federation will make such an investment in many Secret Pathers and require them to reward them with military exploits later. It means that the Federation is optimistic about your potential, and it is also regarded as a welfare system under the Federation. ??The difference between Carles and other secret seekers is that she received far more investment than ordinary people! On the one hand, this is due to her instrumental properties. On the other hand, it is the "father" in her mouth. That is...the secret pather who created Carles, the seventh-level legend, Colonel Gold! ?Even if three-quarters of the skeleton of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] was worth a huge amount of military exploits, it would be impossible for Carles to leave the Federation. ?However, Xia En was just able to hit the target with all the dates he had, so he didnt have high hopes, so naturally he wouldnt be too disappointed. He just sighed: "What a pity." I thought I could continue to fight alongside you. I have to say that the feeling of being one with Carles is really extraordinary and wonderful. ?The moist and warm steam, the firmness that sticks to the skin... Once you experience it once, you will never forget it. Besides, compared to the combat power of the sixth-level Mystic Path, even if it only lasts for three or four seconds, it is still amazing! ?Carless was obviously a little regretful, but her rationality still defeated her sensibility and said: "It doesn''t matter, I believe we will see each other again." By then, I will definitely become stronger, and I hope you will too. Xia En nodded solemnly: "There will be a day." Speaking of which, have you become stronger again? ? Carles felt Xia En''s aura and asked curiously: "In just a few days, I feel that you have become different again." Xia En nodded: "It''s just a small improvement." In the past ten days, he himself has not been idle. ?After gathering the materials, Xia En decisively upgraded the hull for the third time! The core material is exactly a part of the bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]! Black Swan (+3)! Comprehensive quality: 5.05.3! What an enviable talent! At this time, Carles said in a joking tone: "If you tell me the news about this [Secret Realm], aren''t you afraid that I will report it to the Federation?" Isnt such a big [secret realm] enough to tempt many people? ?Shaan smiled and said, "I believe you." And, if I insist on saying so, you already have a share of this [Secret Realm]. ?Carless was quite impressed by these words, and after humming twice happily, he said. To tell you the truth, the value of this [Secret Realm] to the Federation may not be as great as that of the hollow beast skeleton. ??Xia En was a little surprised: "How do you say that?" Carles said frankly: "In recent years, the Federation has actually discovered dozens of entrances to very large secret realms. Just exploring these secret realms, our manpower is already somewhat stretched." There is really no extra manpower to explore new secret realms. Even if we obtain this secret realm, we will probably sell it to other organizations that are capable of receiving it. It is precisely because of this that I am the only fifth-level secret pather sent by the Federation to compete for the treasure. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be surprised. Dozens of very large [secret realms]? There are actually so many? ?No wonder the power of some powerful people in the Federation is showing signs of shrinking. Now that I think about it, most of them have gone to the [Secret Realm] to open up territories. It is conceivable that once the output of these [secret realms] is fully digested, the strength of the Federation will usher in another round of surge. But Xia En was inexplicably worried. Is it really just a simple coincidence that so many [secret places] have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in such a short period of time? After thinking about it, Xia En suppressed the worries in his heart. ??This kind of thing should be considered by the strong men in the federation, and it is not the turn of a small fourth-level secret path practitioner like me to worry about it. Only by becoming stronger can it be possible to get involved in the real secrets of the world. At this time. Sha Jingjing and several older high priests came over. Lord Holy Son! Sha Jingjing respectfully reported: "All members of the [Yongyue Clan], a total of 746 people, have all moved into this [Secret Realm] and can leave [Sand Island] with you at any time." As he spoke, Sha Jingjing glanced at Carles next to him with some hostility. ??Although Xia En didn''t know where her hostility came from, he still wisely didn''t pursue it and said. You did a good job. However, I should have said it many times, dont you need to call me Holy Son? On this point, Sha Jingjing was extremely determined: "But the Holy Son is the Holy Son." The other high priests looked at Xia En with fanatical eyes and said extremely seriously. You have proven with your actions that you are the Son we are waiting for in the prophecies, and you will lead us to a new future. Feeling the teasing look in Carlisle''s eyes, Xia En felt increasingly helpless. He brought the [Moon Yong Clan] into a vibrant secret realm, which once again confirmed the authenticity of the prophecy. He couldn''t even refute it. ??But the identity of this "holy son" is not all bad. At least, Xia En doesnt have to worry about the loyalty of the [Yongyue Clan]. If used properly, these 746 Yongyue tribe members will become his most reliable force. ?However, it can also be seen from this number that the situation of the Yongyue Clan is indeed precarious. For a pirate group, this number is astonishingly large. But for a race, it is really pitiful. Xia En put aside his distracting thoughts and said, "I''m just not used to the title ''Holy Son''. Can you change it to another one?" The high priest said seriously: "Okay, Lord Holy Son." ?Shaan: Speaking of which, Lord Holy Son, since we are leaving [Sand Island] today. Another priest asked carefully and respectfully: "Can you please give us a name for our new home?" "name?" ? Thinking about it carefully, we cant always call this world Secret Realm. While thinking about it, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat, the mark on his chest lit up, and a name naturally popped up in his mind. That is... the real name of [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast]! Rhine! Just call it...[Rhine Secret Realm]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 226 The first [Huiyao Meeting] Chapter 226 The first [Huiyao Meeting] [Rhine Secret Realm]. After spitting out this name, Xia En felt a strange feeling in his heart. It seems that the connection with the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] has become closer, and it seems to have been recognized by this [Secret Realm]. Secret Realm Exploration Speed ??+5%! Current exploration degree: 5.1%! Seeing the two lines of information popping up in front of him, Xia En raised his eyebrows sharply. Directly increased exploration by 5%? In Xia En''s opinion, this degree of exploration is equivalent to the degree of development of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. At the same time, according to the effect of [Empty Beast Heart Seal], the higher the degree of exploration, the higher the blessing he will receive in this world. If it reaches 100%, maybe... he can really become the master of this [Secret Realm]? ?However, the efforts of the Yongyue clan members in the past ten days have only increased the exploration rate by 0.1%. You can see the vastness of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Exploring and developing the secret realm is destined to be a long process. Giving a name can directly increase the exploration degree by 5%, which is an unexpected surprise. Rhine! What a great name! Sha Jingjing showed an excited expression. This is the name of their new home, of course it has great significance! ??The reaction of several high priests was even more intense. They knelt down on one knee and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Holy Son, for the name!" We will be your sharpest spear and open up the territory of [Land of the Rhine] for you! ?Xia En couldnt help but twitch the corner of his mouth. No matter how many times he saw it, he was still a little uncomfortable with the fanatical attitude of the Yongyue people. ?Xia En was planning to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and gave an order. By the way, you must take good care of the small tree in the middle of the valley. As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the valley, where there was a short tree about two meters tall, with dark red bark. It is the [Crimson Ancient Tree] after rebirth! ??Due to the excessive vitality in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is growing better than Xia En expected. It has grown to this height in ten days. As long as you give it enough time, it may not be impossible to return to its peak state in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Hearing this, the high priests responded one after another: "I will obey your instructions." One of the high priests sensed the importance that Shaan attached to the sapling. ?He had personally touched the sapling and noticed the extraordinary secret power in it, so he had some other thoughts in his mind. Since the Holy Son attaches so much importance to this small tree, you might as well...'' Think of it as the sacred tree of the Moon Yong Clan? Since we have complied with the orders of the Holy Son, we can still get the protection of this tree. ??If Xia En knew what he was thinking, he would definitely show a very strange expression. Crimson Ancient TreeObviously has a deep connection with the Vampire Clan, so how come it has now become the sacred tree of a group of werewolves? ?However, Shane was unaware of this bold idea. ??He really couldn''t stand the fervent eyes of the werewolves. After a few simple instructions, he and Carles left the [Rhine Secret Realm]. ?Stepping out of the gate made of silver light, the two came to the coast of [Sand Island]. Not far away, several federal ships were docked there. Many secret travelers are carrying some metal boxes made of alloy back and forth in an orderly manner. Inside that are the cut bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast]. Since this special skeleton cannot be loaded into the space ring, the Federation Mystics had to use this clumsy method to transport it. As expected. ?After receiving such a large share of credit, Carles'' career in the Federation will definitely be smooth sailing. In the future, we will continue to receive investment from the federation, and our strength will definitely not grow slowly. Xia En sighed with emotion: "Maybe next time we meet, you will already be a truly legendary strongman." ? Carles could not deny it and said with a smile: "Why do I think you will be promoted to legend earlier than me?" Then she changed the topic. I got the news that after returning this time, I should take up a position in [Liu Li Island]. After that, Im afraid there will be very few sea missions, and there will be even fewer opportunities to meet. Liu Li Island This name was not unfamiliar to Xia En, but it was very familiar to him. The reason is simple. ?This island is one of the core islands of the Seven Seas Federation! The Federal Parliament, the Federal Court, the Federal Research Institute, and an entire advanced and developed city are all located in today''s [Liuli Island]. ?90% of the residents on the island are secret travelers, and there are also several sixth- and seventh-level powerhouses sitting on the island. It can be said that [Liuli Island]''s status in the federation is equivalent to the capital of a country, and it is the economic and cultural center of the entire federation. So much so that this island is also known as the brightest star on the Federal Star Wave Flag. ?There, developed ports transport and trade goods worth tens of thousands of gold dragon coins every day, and the commercial system is extremely developed. ??The latest steam technology, magic pattern props, and various secret techniques have collided with new sparks on the island, turning them into nutrients for the growth of the huge collective of the Federation. ?Countless dream chasers are going there one after another, just to leave their mark on this "golden land". ??So, Carles'' transfer to [Liu Li Island] is like being promoted from a small county town to the capital city. It is undoubtedly a great thing. Only secret travelers who are truly valued by the federation have this kind of treatment. also illustrates her promising future from the side. Xia En said sincerely: "Congratulations!" ?But Carless focus seemed a bit strange, she continued. Dont worry, I am a very dedicated mechanical armor. Even if you die, I will not let anyone other than you enter my body. ?Shaan: If you need any help, you can contact me at any time. For example, in developing materials for [Ryan Secret Realm], I think there is a lot of room for cooperation between you and the Federation. Facing Carles''s advice, Xia En straightened his expression. I will consider it. After thinking about it, if this [Platinum Knight] reaches a high position within the Federation, then wouldnt he be considered someone above? At this time, on the sea not far away, a three-masted sailboat with a black swan carved on the bow was sailing towards the coast. ?Seeing the ship, Carles let out a burst of steam from under his visor and said like a sigh. Its time to say goodbye. If you are free, I hope you can come to [Liu Li Island], I will wait for you there! Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will definitely go!" ?After receiving a positive reply, Carles waved his hand generously and walked towards the direction of the federal ship. Not long. The Black Swan docked at the coast. Compared with more than ten days ago, the [Black Swan] at this time has changed a lot. After using the bones of the [Mysterious Sea Sky Beast] as the main material to strengthen it, its width and length have not changed much, but its height has increased. To be precise, the part of the hull below the sea surface has become longer. Considering that the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] is a creature from the [Secret Sea], it may prefer the environment under the sea. The main color of the entire ship is still pitch black with a touch of silver, and stars and magic patterns are dotted on the hull. The difference is. The feeling of [Black Swan] seems to have become a little more illusory, like a transparent and hazy phantom. ?It is there, but it seems to be in another space that is difficult to reach. If you dont look carefully, you may even subconsciously ignore its existence. The reason why the color of the hull has not changed much. This is because more bones of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] were directly used to strengthen the keel deep in the hull. ?If someone comes to the depths of the cabin, they can see that the skeleton originally engraved with profound runes has a strong silver color. The mutated keel not only absorbs the secret power in the sea water all the time, but also brings space-related abilities to the [Black Swan]. The enhanced information at that time is as follows. The main body of "Black Swan" has been strengthened successfully! Durability limit +100! Sturdiness +10! Mystery +10! Comprehensive quality: 5.05.3! Due to the effect of the extraordinary material "Void Beast Skeleton", the effect of the trait "Secret Power Aggregation" has been improved! Quality: RareEpic! Description: "Skeletons of Sky Beasts" are naturally connected to the "Secret Sea", and will gradually cause your ship to be infected by the atmosphere of the "Secret Sea". When this transformation reaches a certain level, maybe this ship can sail in the "secret sea", right? Unlock trait: Overlapping Space Shield ?Quality: Rare Description: After fusing the "Empty Beast Skeleton", a layer of fragile overlapping space will be generated on the surface of the ship''s hull to withstand incoming attacks. The current space can withstand attacks to a limited extent. When it is broken, it will be automatically repaired over time. It goes without saying much about the [Secret Power Gathering] trait that has been upgraded to [Epic] quality. ?This not only subtly strengthens the [Black Swan], but also transforms the ship into an excellent place for spiritual practice. The power from the [Secret Sea] is so precious. When he was in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Xia Endu had to use a rather extreme method to absorb it. But now, as long as you are on the [Black Swan], you can absorb the secret power contaminated by the breath of the [Secret Sea]. The speed of mystical practitioners'' cultivation naturally increases by leaps and bounds. ?The most intuitive reaction was not from Joey or Fei Ya, but from the newborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya! ?At this time, Xian Ge was sleeping soundly in a corner of the captain''s cabin. ?Her body was curled up into a ball, like a sleeping kitten, and occasionally she would make a series of snapping sounds. This is because her body is growing at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary humans. Even people from different races like Joey and Feiya can''t compare. I''m afraid, this can be regarded as the unique talent of the bronze dragon family, right? ?Just in the past few days, Xian Ge''s rank has exceeded the third level. And there is a continuing upward trend. As for this second trait, Xia En understood it as a weakened "moonlight protection of the Yueyong tribe." ??They all rely on spatial dislocation to act like a defensive shield. Its just that the defensive power of the [Overlapping Space Shield] was obviously much weaker than the moonlight at that time. ?Perhaps, when more [Empty Beast Skeletons] are integrated, this trait will undergo a completely new transformation? ?While his thoughts were ups and downs, Xia En had already boarded the Black Swan again. ?In order to accommodate the indigenous people from all over the [Sand Island], he has been busy on the [Sand Island] these days. Just got on the ship once when the ship was strengthened and reported safe. In order to prevent the [Black Swan] from colliding with the [Burning Gold], Shane continued the previous strategy and let it wander in the waters near the [Sand Island]. Until today, he has officially returned to the Black Swan. Xiao Hei, your captain is back! ?Xia En said to the ship spirit of the [Black Swan] in his heart. Master, you are finally back, I miss you so much. ?Xiao Hei expressed his intimacy excitedly, but soon, he asked with some doubts. Master, have you been on any other ships these days? Why do I seem to smell the scent of other ship spirits? !? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, but then his mouth twitched. ?If I had to say something, it seems that he did come into contact with the ship soul of another shipthat was the "Sky Serpent" in the promotion ritual! ?Although the time they got together was short, Xia En had an extremely close contact with the ship spirit of the "Sky Serpent", and briefly achieved a state of "human and ship unity". ?However, when did Xiao Hei become so smart? Even this smell can be distinguished. ?The child is older and its hard to fool him! With this thought in his mind, Xia En said, "It''s okay. I''ve been on the island these days. How can I come into contact with other ships?" ?Xiao Hei was doubtful: [It seems like this...] Mr. Captain! From the side, Joey happily came up to him and almost hugged him: "Welcome back!" Yan Yan also waved to Xia En: "Captain, I knew you would be fine." Feiya leaned against the mast and looked at him with a smile. Miss Ghost appeared directly in front of Xia En and said eagerly: "Captain, when can we have barbecue again?" Why dont we just hold another celebration banquet. Looking at the crew members in front of him, Xia En felt a little touched and felt an indescribable warmth. This is the mood that can only be felt on the Black Swan. ?Perhaps, this is the feeling of going home? Xia En waved his hand and said directly: "Today!" Tonight, lets hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the [Sand Island] operation! Yeah! While the crew was preparing for the celebration banquet. ??Xia En returned to the captain''s cabin first and took out a strange mirror. This is the [Glory Crystal Mirror] obtained from the captain of [Fishing Number]. At this time, there was a slight light shining on the mirror, and the mirror surface was trembling slightly. ??This is the symbol of the Huijiao Archbishop when he initiates the rally call. Coincidentally, Xia En currently has some questions and wants to ask these well-informed people. For example, the location of other elven temples. Another example is the information about the [Truth Society]. Ordinary people will obviously not know the answers to these questions, but if it were the equally mysterious Hui religion, they might be able to give satisfactory answers. ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and put his hand on the mirror. The next moment. A piece of pure bright light filled his entire field of vision... (End of this chapter) Chapter 227 [Black Light King] and the Archbishop in White Chapter 227 [The Black Light King] and the Archbishop in White ??The brilliant and dazzling light washed over Xia En''s vision, like a vast sea of ??light. ??Moreover, this sea of ??light is not pure, single white light. Rather, it is composed of countless different radiances. There is the dazzling light like the midday sun, the clean light of the moon, the colorful rainbow light, and even the radiance of many stars. ?Various rays of light coexist harmoniously in this sea of ??light, entangled with each other, and flowing endlessly like water. Brilliant and dazzling, extremely spectacular. ?Seeing this scene, Xia Ens mind suddenly came up with a sentence Billions of radiances all belong to their Lord! A clear realization arose in his mind: "This is probably the so-called [Land of Glory]." Its just that I dont know if its Xia Ens illusion. ?The moment he stepped into this sea of ??light, the endless brilliance in the sea of ??light seemed to respond to his arrival, slowly rushing towards him. ?Moreover, it was as if a gaze fell on him from the depths of the sea of ??light. Soon, the feeling of being watched disappeared, and the surrounding sea of ??light faded away like a tide, revealing an extremely wide chaotic space. ?This seems to be a square, an almost endless square, simple and majestic. It seems to have been here for thousands or tens of thousands of years. There are many magnificent stone pillars supported at the end of the sight, with some obscure murals and runes carved on them. ?The tops of them all appear fragmented, as if they are shattered and dissipated in the distant sky. A hazy and chaotic stream of light shrouded the sky above the square. ?There seems to be something hidden in the depths of the light flow, but it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to peek into. Xia En calmed down and realized his own state for a moment. He is now just a spiritual body, not a real entity. ?Moreover, you can exit this space at will with just a thought. Then, Shane looked around. He found that there were already many figures standing in the square. ?These figures are all wrapped in a chaotic light, and their true faces and figures cannot be seen clearly. But one thing is certain, they are obviously believers of the Lord of Radiance. Thinking about it, this should be the "anonymity method" mentioned by the dwarf Lindrik. After all, the Hui Sect still belongs to the category of "esoteric sect" in today''s Qihai, and not everyone wants to reveal their identity as a Hui Sect follower. To Xia En''s surprise, there were many more people standing in this square than he expected. There are no fewer than dozens of human figures present at the scene. And there is an increasing trend. ??Xia En originally thought that this was a small gathering with only a dozen people! Then on second thought, its the same thing. ? Even the captain of the [Fishing Number], Lin Delek, whose strength is around the third or fourth level, has a chance to obtain the [Brilliant Crystal Mirror]. ?With the size of the Seven Seas, there are certainly more outstanding and powerful mystics than him who have converted to the embrace of the Lord of Radiance and are qualified to participate in this mysterious gathering. This also illustrates from the side... ? Huijiao appears to be calm and quiet on the surface, but in fact it has accumulated considerable power behind the scenes. It can be said that the existence of [Land of Glory] itself is a huge intelligence network with tentacles all over the seven seas. Although it is a sect from the previous era, it still retains the fire and is growing day by day. The most important thing is that the Federation doesnt seem to realize this yet? This is actually the most terrifying thing. Compared to a powerful enemy showing its teeth and claws in the open, a force that develops in the dark is more fearful. Xia En sighed in his heart: "The water of Huijiao is indeed very deep..." But having said that, what does Hui Jiao want to do? ?Although Xia Endu has always had a deep connection with the Lord of Hui, he was first the "Divine Envoy" and later the "Holy Son." It is no exaggeration to say that the name and relics of the Lord of Hui provided great help to Xia En at the beginning. ?It is precisely with the help of this that he was able to speed through [Coral City] in just a few months, and also gained huge benefits from it. ??However, having benefited a lot does not mean that Xia En unconditionally trusts this god. His attitude towards faith is very pure If it is useful to me, then I will believe it. Its of no use to me, so who cares about you? It is certainly impossible for him to be as pious and fanatical as some believers. And the Lord of Billions of Glory is an alien **** from outside this world, how could Xia En not be wary of him? ? Now, seeing other believers in this [Land of Glory], Xia En could not help but think about the Lord of Hui, or in other words, the purpose of the sect of Hui. Just to attract believers? Or do you want to absorb something like will power? ?Shaans intuition told him that it was probably not for this reason. To a **** who controls billions of rays of light, do mortal wishes really mean anything? Just when Xia En was thinking about it. He suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several eyes on him from all around. ??Moreover, the emotions in these eyes seem weird? There is surprise, curiosity, and a hint of awe and fear. ?Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he immediately became extremely vigilant. Whats going on? Am I exposed? Members of the family know their own affairs. Other people who came to the [Land of Glory] must be devout followers of the Hui religion. But Shane is not! Don''t say "pious", he can''t even use the word "believer". purely because of his inexplicable affinity with the [Lord of Glory], he had the opportunity to use the [Glory Crystal Mirror]. ??If this group of believers discovered this, wouldn''t it happen that "there is a traitor among us"? Have to guard against it! ?Xia En realized it secretly, and found that he could retreat to the "Glory Land" at any time, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he was inevitably a little puzzled, thinking: "How was I exposed?" I didnt even say a word, did I? Is it possible that [Glory Crystal Mirror] also has the function of identifying true believers from false ones? ?Judging from the fact that other believers did not launch a direct attack, Xia En was still somewhat lucky in his heart. What if they havent discovered it yet? Soon, a figure shrouded in light walked towards Xia En. The surrounding lights and shadows consciously made way for him, with a very respectful attitude. ?Seeing this figure, Xia En realized that there were actually quite a lot of differences in the postures of different Hui sect believers in the "Land of Glory". ?Take this person as an example. The light on his body is milky white, giving people a pure and friendly feeling. ?Like a fragrant and sweet White Rabbit toffee. ??Moreover, the area covered by the light around him is also larger than that of other believers. ?This mostly represents the amount of divine power in the Hui religion, and is also a symbol of status in the Hui religion. The purer and larger the radiance, the higher the status in the Hui religion. ?Its no wonder that other believers show such respectful attitude towards this man. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but be curious: "Now, what will my image be like in [The Land of Glory]?" He looked down slightly, and his expression suddenly became very strange.????Because he saw the light around him... is black ?Black! It is not that kind of light black, but an extremely pure, deep black that seems to be able to swallow everything. It reminds people of the deep sea thousands of meters below, or the night sky without a single star. Shane: Grass. The first second he saw this black light, he couldn''t help but name a plant. ?No wonder other peoples eyes look so weird! ?Most of the Hui Sect believers present were surrounded by bright white lights, among which suddenly a conspicuous black light like you appeared. ? Anyone can tell at a glance "There''s something wrong with you," right? ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. Forget about black light, its still so pure... Is this the difference between believers and non-believers? Xia En sighed in his heart, feeling that this operation to find out the information was probably a failure. When he was about to exit the [Land of Glory], the believer who looked like a white rabbit toffee walked up to him and asked respectfully. Senior, is this your first time using [Glory Crystal Mirror]? It is the voice of a young man, not too old. ?Like a well-educated little boy who can sing hymns in church. But what worries Xia En even more is... Senior? Hearing this title, Xia En''s heart moved. Eh, seems there is still a chance? Judging from the tone of this believer, it seems that he does not regard himself as a heretic who has sneaked here? ?Although he was a little confused about what was going on, Xia En, who reacted quickly, had an idea in his mind and immediately followed the words of the young believer. Thats right, this is my first time coming to the [Land of Glory]. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? "As expected." The young believer cautiously advised: "First of all, senior, please restrain the light of your soul." The light of the soul that is too strong will have a bad impact on other believers ?His tone was tactful, even a little cautious. This is also inevitable. Because, what Xia En didn''t know was that in the eyes of this young man and other believers. ?This "senior" who has just arrived, the black light around him is extremely high and wide, even as high as a hill. It is more than ten times larger than the light group of ordinary believers. ??Standing so eye-catchingly in this ancient square. ?That deep black light is like a black hole, making believers who approach it instinctively tremble and feel great pressure. In fact, this is the reason why the believers cast surprised glances at Xia En. ??With such a "senior" in the sect here, with such strong pressure and such strong light of soul, everyone would want to take a second look, right? ?Especially this "senior", he is likely to inherit the inheritance of the [Black Light King]! That''s right, in the eyes of believers, the black light on Shane''s body is actually not a problem at all. The reason is simple. There is precedent for this. There is not just one example! Those who practice different divine arts of radiance will have slightly different colors of radiance released in their souls. ?For example, the young man is milky white, while some of the believers next to him are wearing light pink or lilac, which is not that pure anyway. There are also particularly obvious ones, which directly turn into pure colors of red and blue. But what does that matter? The **** they believe in is the Lord of billions of rays of light! ??Whether it is white light, red light, or blue light, doesnt it all come under the authority of the Lord of Radiance? ?Of course, in the early years, believers were still a little afraid of the black light of the soul. ?That is, after all, the color opposite to the mainstream light. Until an extremely powerful believer appears, the light of that person''s soul is pure black. ??But this did not prevent him from being a loyal believer of the Lord of Hui. He even became the Archbishop of the Hui Religion for a time and gained the favor of the Lord of Hui. ?The name of that person is... King of Black Light! After him, several people followed a similar path and perfected the former''s magical skills. Gradually, a mysterious inheritance was formed. ??Although it is not so mainstream, there is also a small group of fans among Huijiao. Besides, being able to use [Glory Crystal Mirror] is the best proof of a believers identity. So, for Xia En at this time, people were more surprised by the strength of the light of his soul than doubting his identity. With such a strong soul light, I dont know which old man got the [Brilliant Crystal Mirror]. It seems that [King of Black Light] has someone to succeed him Either way, its a good thing. Hearing the whispers of others, Xia En guessed a little bit of the inside story and asked the young believer. The light of the soul is? ??The young man replied honestly: "It''s this kind of light that surrounds us." Any believer who enters the [Place of Glory] will automatically have this radiance in his soul. Generally speaking, the stronger the soul, the higher the rank, and the more favored the believer is by the Lord, the stronger the light of the soul will be. Speaking of this, the young man glanced at Xia En with envy. I have seen such a light of soul as yours in only a few bishops. ??Although Xia En couldn''t see the full picture of the light of his soul, he could still hear some information just from the voices of others and the young man. ?This is probably related to the gift he received from the ancestor souls of the [Moon-Yong Clan] and his inexplicable affinity with the Lord of Radiance. After figuring out the reason for the strange eyes, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief and asked. How to restrain it? ??The young man replied: "Just sense its existence first, and then control it. It feels almost the same as using magic." ?Shaan: He has never used the genuine Hui religion magic! ?However, he realized it carefully and found that it was not difficult. Soon, the light of the surrounding souls was contained within one meter of Xia En. He has just finished doing this. ??A sudden bell ringing came from the end of the crowd, interrupting Xia En''s thoughts and the conversation between all the lights and shadows. ?There, an archbishop in white was standing in the center of the square. The ground beneath his feet continued to rise and rise, forming a unique palace in the chaotic light and shadow. Then, the Archbishop spoke. The divine aura connects us (End of this chapter) Chapter 228 Declare war on the [Truth Society]! Chapter 228 Declaration of war on the [Truth Society]! Protruding from the center of the square is a huge building made of pale boulders. As if built in those long-lost eras. That was a time older than the civilization before the Flood. Although it is called a "palace", its main body is a wide high platform and several pale stone pillars. Layers of stairs go up along the sloping stone walls. It seems that by climbing up the long steps, you can get a closer look at their gods. Looks more like an ancient temple or altar. Like everyone else, Sean''s eyes couldn''t help but fall on the white-robed archbishop high up in the building. ?Of course, his first thought was not awe or worship, but... Why is this person not "anonymous"? Others bodies and faces were obscured by the light of the soul, but this archbishop revealed his true face. ?He was wearing a priest''s robe with white background and gold patterns. He was tall and thin, with sparse white hair, and his eyes were as calm as deep water. There is a peaceful majesty about him. ??If we say it, Xia En, who was shrouded in black light just now, was like a black hole that swallowed everything. ?The Archbishop in white at such a high place is like the sun at three or four o''clock in the afternoon in autumn. It is neither too bright nor dim. But whether people care or not, it is there, calmly and continuously releasing light. In short, he is a man who fits Xia Ens imagination of the Archbishop of Hui Religion. The young believer on the side seemed to notice Xia En''s curiosity and explained. When the control over the light of the soul reaches a certain level, the true appearance can be revealed in the [Land of Glory]. But most people wouldnt choose to do that. Archbishop Musa is an exception. Since he became archbishop, he has always shown his true face and never concealed it. It has been more than fifty years. ??The young believer''s tone was filled with strong admiration and respect. If one day I can become a bishop, I must be like Archbishop Musa. After hearing this, Xia En touched his chin. So it turns out that "non-anonymous" mode can be turned on here? For some believers who need to conduct transactions, revealing their true identity can obviously increase each other''s credibility. ?Of course, this will naturally bring certain risks. Xia En looked at Archbishop Musa, silently raising his guard. ?The fact that he can still hold the position of archbishop for more than fifty years after his identity is exposed is enough to show that this archbishop is unusual. ?Shaan asked the young believer in a low voice: "Generally speaking, what do we do in this gathering?" ??The young believer has long regarded Xia En as one of his own, so he naturally knows everything at this time. Actually, its nothing special. First of all, to thank the Lord of Radiance for his brilliance and gifts, and to confirm the appointment and dismissal of bishops on certain islands. Secondly, it is to announce the oracle of the Lord of Radiance and issue some orders. As he spoke, the young believer laughed: "Of course, not everyone is qualified to directly accept the instructions of Archbishop Musa." Only those exceptionally outstanding believers will be invited to the high platform. ?His eyes fell on Xia En through the milky white light. After thinking about it, he said seriously and enviously. If it were you, senior, you might have a chance. The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. What should I do to listen to the oracle? Also follow the instructions of the Archbishop! ? Isn''t this a joke? He would not become a believer of that foreign **** just because of a few compliments from these believers. It is impossible to work for the Lord of Hui, not even in this life! Due to the obstruction of the light of the soul, the young believer cannot see Xia En''s expression, and therefore does not know what this "mysterious senior" is thinking. He continued: The last thing is free communication time. Believers in different sea areas can exchange information with each other, and can also use supplies and gold dragon coins to purchase. Xia En said in surprise: "[Glory Crystal Mirror] also has the function of transmitting items remotely?" "No." ??The young believer said naturally: "But after negotiating the price, we can ship the goods through [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]." [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] has established a relatively stable teleportation array, and its reputation is very guaranteed! Hearing what he said, Xia En also remembered that [Tianqi Chamber of Commerce] indeed has a very mature mailing business. It would be more convenient if it is a monetary transaction. Deposit it directly into the chamber of commerce and ask the other party to pick it up with the order number. You only need to pay a shipping fee or a hosting fee. ?Although it sounds a bit primitive, this method is indeed practical. ?The only problem is that there may be people who refuse to pay after asking for information, but being a believer naturally increases trust. ?Besides, if you default on your account once, it is estimated that no one here will trade with that person again. ?So many factors have allowed the intelligence trading in [Glory Land] to gradually mature. ?Xia Ens mind turned around and he noticed another thing. Since there is paid information, there must be free information! ??We are all followers of Hui Cult. For the sake of the Lord of Hui, is it not too much to give some free information? Dont forget, [Brilliant Crystal Mirror] was obtained by Xia En for nothing. ??It''s reasonable to get some information for free, right? Just as Xia En was thinking about this, Archbishop Musa on the high platform continued to speak. Its a pleasure to see you in this glorious holy land, now... I offer my respects to the glory of the Lord and silently recite His name under His gaze. May the Lords light protect us and help me guide the brothers and sisters gathered here. The surrounding believers immediately chanted the name of the Lord of Billions of Glory in unison. Then he made fists with his hands, placed them between his eyebrows, and bowed his head in a gesture of respect. What they paid tribute to was not the archbishop himself, but the halo cast by the dome and this sacred space. Suddenly, a pious and mysterious atmosphere enveloped the crowd. ?Those hazy lights and shadows made this scene even more eerie, as if some kind of evil ritual was being held. Xia En sighed in his heart: "That''s right, that''s right!" This is what a secret religious gathering should be like. With emotion, Xia En also pretended to lower his head so as not to reveal his identity. After a moment, the Archbishop opened his arms and spoke in an infectious voice. The prayer is over, the Lord has witnessed our piety and awe, and grace has shined on our souls. "One day, wherever the light shines, it will be my Lord''s territory..." ?For Xia En, who is not a true believer, these words of the archbishop were undoubtedly over the top, and he felt a little sleepy after hearing them. ?But suddenly, Archbishop Musa said again. Before todays gathering begins, we would like to welcome three newcomers. They were tested by the Lord and qualified to enter this holy land. Now, please three of you, please come to the temple and come to me. Hearing this, the believers around him became excited and looked at Xia En with envy. A voice of surprise also came out of the milky white light: "Senior, I''m talking about you!" Not all newcomers can enter the temple. It must be because of your strength, senior, that you were chosen by the Archbishop. ? There was a proud tone in his words, as if he wished he could replace Xia En and ascend to the high platform. Obviously, this should be considered a great honor for ordinary believers. But Xia En felt a little scared. He is a fake believer! ?Its okay to stand out in the square, but now you have to stand on that high platform and be baptized by everyones eyes? What if the secret is exposed? ?Especially the mysterious archbishop, who doesnt look easy to fool at first glance. But at this time, the nearby crowd started to make a small uproar. Two figures have already begun to climb the stairs of the temple. They are obviously the other two newcomers that Musa mentioned. The remaining peoples eyes were all focused on Xia Ens distinctive black light. ?There is no way, this dark halo is too conspicuous. ?In a group of white lights, it is as eye-catching as the bright moon in the night sky or the daffodils beside the toilet. Feeling the eager eyes of everyone around him, Xia En sighed inwardly. I just want to get some information for nothing How did it get to this point? But now, the arrow is on the string and must be fired. Xia En had no choice but to walk silently towards the stairs of the temple. ?He has made up his mind that once there are signs that he is exposed, he will immediately exit [Glory Crystal Mirror] and never come back again! Fortunately, no one noticed anything strange until they reached the steps of the temple. When he came to the stairs, Xia En could more clearly feel the simplicity and mystery of this temple. The entire temple is made of ancient stones. ?These stones seem to have been soaked in light, so that they appear pale in color, and they continue to emit a faint light. This thing doesnt come with some kind of radiation, right? Looking at the stones, Xia En''s mind was inexplicably reminded of several rare metals he had heard of before. Dont say it, the two really have something in common. ?While distracting thoughts flashed through his mind, Xia En also stepped onto the stone steps ahead and continued walking up. At first, he felt nothing, just like climbing stairs. ?But it didnt take long for Xia En to notice something strange. First of all, there seemed to be some mysterious substance flowing into the light of his soul in the pale stone steps under his feet. ?This feeling is not uncomfortable, but rather comfortable. It was as if his soul was absorbing this power and slowly growing stronger. The feeling was very similar to the feeling of receiving the gift of the soul of the ancestors of the [Yongyue Clan]. besides. ?Shane also felt an increasingly clear feeling of being spied on. The gaze coming from behind the stream of light from high places seems to be becoming more and more obvious and closer. And that will, even if it is only a very small part, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The words on the panel confirmed Xia Ens guess. You are climbing the stairs of the Temple of Glory! You are experiencing His gaze... Your soul is being purified... Comprehensive quality: 5.35.5! ?During this process, Xia En glanced at the believers below and suddenly realized. ?No wonder the Archbishop made them climb the stairs in public. No wonder other believers are so envious. ?The process of climbing up to the temple is a special ritual. At the door of all important Hui sect believers, receive the gift of the Lord of Hui ??If it were an ordinary believer, I would probably have shed tears of gratitude and burst into tears, right? WooooThank you, my Lord, for your gift Just as Xia En came up with this idea, he saw another believer kneeling on the steps not far away and kissing the pale stone. ?Shaan: ?He glanced at the man silently and walked towards the high platform faster. ??The closer to the high platform, the stronger the feeling of the mysterious gaze, so much so that Xia En felt the slightest palpitation in his heart. Wait, somethings wrong Xia En glanced at the stone steps at his feet, feeling a strange sense of intimacy in his heart. Not only that, he had similar feelings towards the believers below and the archbishop above. This seems to be a psychological suggestion. Even those who are not believers will subconsciously get close to and rely on brilliance. This is what purification means? ?Xia En frowned suddenly, knowing that he could not allow this transformation to continue. He made up his mind and began to fight against the huge consciousness. ?At the same time, the light of the soul around him is no longer bound and continues to expand and expand. In the blink of an eye, a black hole-like black light suddenly stood on the stairs. Seeing this scene, many believers couldn''t help but widen their eyes. The light of that seniors soul is so huge! And, its still this pure black color. His, wait, its still getting bigger? ?In people''s eyes, the black light is still absorbing the light from the pale stairs, like a black hole that swallows everything. But that was on the steps of the temple! ??Is this really not considered blasphemy against the Lord of Radiance? ?On the high platform, Archbishop Musa also had a strange expression. This was the first time something like this had happened to him since he became archbishop. At the next moment. ?Musas expression suddenly changed. Because, in the dark dome overhead, suddenly a bright and white beam of light fell from the sky. Its an oracle! Its a sign from the Lord! ?Musas eyes were filled with ecstasy. It had been five years since he last received an oracle. Every oracle has extraordinary significance to all Hui sect believers. Musa bowed his head piously: "Lord, please guide me on the way forward..." However, he waited sincerely for a moment, but the feeling of being enveloped by the light of the Lord of Glory did not come to him. "Um?" ?Musa raised his head in confusion and saw... ?That beam of light fell straight into the center of the black light that was as dark as a black hole! ??? Not to mention Musa, all the believers present were in a state of astonishment. What''s going on? Is this newcomer more valued by the Lord of Radiance than the Archbishop? Immediately, another small beam of light refracted out of the black light and fell on Musa. After listening carefully for a moment, Musa understood the content of the oracle and could not help but murmur with a solemn expression. Want to go to war with...[Truth Society]? (End of this chapter) Chapter 229 We have a mole in our midst Chapter 229 Theres a mole in our midst ?This all happened too fast and too suddenly. ? Many believers were still surprised by the sudden expansion of the black light, but the oracle from the Lord of Radiance arrived. Before they could be surprised, the oracle actually fell on this new person. It even forked in the end? ! The bifurcated oracle light pillar, how fresh it is! What situation have I not seen before? () I have never seen this situation before! () ?Surprised, the believers still looked at the Archbishop above with inquiring eyes. They have not listened to the gods for too long. Even though the form of this oracle is a bit unusual, it is enough to cheer up all believers. Archbishop Musa''s eyes swept across the crowd, and finally fell on the black light still climbing up the stairs. ??In any case, this newcomer who is suspected of being inherited by the [Black Light King] does have extraordinary divine favor. You should give him enough respect. ?Thinking of this, Musa silently waited for Xia En to complete this journey. ?This special attitude made the atmosphere in the venue even weirder. ??Believers carefully speculated on Xia En''s identity. Who is this senior? "Just now, the oracle... clearly fell on him, right?" Some people know more about the inside story, so they inevitably think more about it. I heard that the relationship between the Archbishop and the [Black Light King] is not harmonious, and there have been some conflicts. This senior came to the [Land of Glory], could he have wanted to... Wrapped in the black light, Xia En, who was the center of attention, was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Just now, he was still struggling against the rush of spiritual power. But suddenly, an extremely vast will broke in directly. ?The vastness and terrifying degree of that will can be said to be the only thing Xia En has ever seen in his life. The remnants of the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] that I sensed a few days ago are already quite remarkable. But in front of this will, it seems like a small witch pales in comparison to the big witch. There is no comparison between the two. ?To put it bluntly, its the difference between a star and an entire starry sky. ? Even more, Xia En suspected that what he perceived was only the tip of the iceberg of his will. This is the instinctive protective mechanism of the soul. ??If he really faced the essence of the will, I''m afraid that in the first moment, Xia En would be shocked into a demented fool. Even so, Xia En felt uncomfortable at this time. ??Strong warning signs surged up from the soul, and a voice shouted Dont look at it! Don''t listen! Don''t think about it! ?His eyes were filled with chaotic light streams, colorful black shadows were squirming, and wild whirlpools were spinning. The symptoms of tinnitus and auditory hallucinations are also obvious. Mixed with angry roars and hollow murmurs. Fortunately, this huge will does not seem to be hostile, but instead shows its goodwill as much as possible? It felt like a huge beast, leaning down carefully and gently stretching out its claws towards him? ?It is precisely because of this feeling that although Xia En was surprised, he did not panic. This is...the will of the Lord of Radiance? Or is it just an incarnation of Him? ?While Xia En was thinking about things in his mind, his huge will slowly swept over him, as if...reading his thoughts? This strange feeling disappeared before Xia En could become wary of it. ?And it seems that a part of the huge will is separated and shot somewhere outside. Then, this will disappeared. ??If it weren''t for the chaotic light and shadow still remaining in front of his eyes, Xia En might have thought that everything just now was just an illusion. Disappeared so suddenly? ?Shaan thought: "It''s like being kicked out." His, maybe thats really the case. The Lord of Billions of Glory is an external **** after all. If he wants to interfere with things in this world, he will inevitably be rejected by the will of this world. Thats why His stay was so short. Xia En calmed down and did not think about the reason why the Lord of Hui cast his gaze for the moment. He has not forgotten that he is still standing on the steps of the Temple of Glory! ?You cant stay here forever, right? ?However, Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that the believers seemed to be looking at him, feeling a little guilty for no reason. No, why am I guilty? Is this considered to be the identity authentication of the Lord of Radiance? He pretended to be nonchalant and continued walking up the stairs. Soon he reached the highest platform and looked at Archbishop Musa. ?Beside Musa, the other two newcomers looked at Xia En curiously, with awe and envy in their eyes. Everyone is new, why are you so special? ?That is the oracle of the Lord of Radiance! At this time, the silent Musa said: "Just now, the Lord sent us a sign." This is the first time in five years, and it also means that the Lord is always watching us and has never left. Speaking, Musa turned his head and looked at the three of them. But before announcing the oracle, please also ask the three newcomers to confirm their code names. That will be the name you will use when walking in the [Glory Land]. If it is convenient, you can also briefly introduce yourself, such as your occupation and the sea area you are currently in. Hearing this, one of the newcomers naturally took half a step forward and spoke generously. You can call me Nuan Xue, I am currently exploring the sea in [Sea of ??Annihilation]. If you need information about the [Sea of ??Annihilation], you can come to me at any time. From under the light blue light, a mature woman''s voice came out, which sounded quite demure. ?However, when he heard the word "Sea of ??Nirvana", Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he felt a little awe-inspiring. Sea of ??Annihilationis also one of the seven sea areas. ?Just from this name, you can tell that this sea area is unusual. In fact, the [Sea of ??Annihilation] has always been considered the most dangerous sea area among the seven seas. It is said that in that sea area, various natural disasters are raging at sea, life is extinct, and there are very few ships that dare to explore deep inside. Even the Federation of the Seven Seas has extremely limited control over the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. ?However, it is precisely because of this. Some big pirates who are wanted with a bounty on their head will break into the [Sea of ??Annihilation] to find a way out when they are cornered. ? No matter what, being able to explore this on the [Sea of ??Nirvana] is enough to show how extraordinary "Nuan Xue" is. ?All the believers nodded slightly and remembered this woman''s code name. The other newcomer does not have such a big background. His code name is "The Wise One" and he lives in the "Sea of ??Tranquility", and few believers pay special attention to him. ?However, Xia En did not underestimate him because of this. Obtaining the [Glory Crystal Mirror] itself has quite a threshold. ?Although the wise man may be mediocre in the eyes of everyone, in reality, he might be a fourth- or fifth-level strong man. After the two of them finished their introduction, everyone present naturally turned their attention to Xia En. They are all very curious about this mysterious senior. Seeing this, Xia En stepped forward and said. [Black Light] is currently located in the [Magnetic Sea Area]. After thinking about it, he decided to give the real place name. This information alone is far from revealing his identity. Moreover, part of the truth can also win the trust of others. As for the name [Black Light], it was purely randomly chosen by Xia En. ?The light of his soul is black, and he seems to be very connected to "black", so it makes sense to call him [Black Light]! ?However, in other people''s ears, this nickname has a profound meaning. [Black Light King] and [Black Light], if there is no connection between the two, who would believe it! Even Musa couldn''t help but frowned and thought to himself. Could it be that he really came here to vindicate [King of Black Light]? But what happened back then ?Musa suppressed some distracting thoughts and said: "The brief introduction is over." Next, let me relay the content of the oracle... ?Suddenly, Musa paused for a moment, looked at Xia En in front of him, and asked cautiously. Your Excellency Blacklight, do you have anything to convey about the oracle? Hearing this, Xia En was stunned. ah? Your Mightiness? Oracle? Shall I convey it? Xia En was confused. ??He didn''t know what the beam of light just represented. He only felt that Musa''s attitude was unusually respectful, and he even used the honorific title "Your Excellency" for a newcomer. Xia En''s mind turned around and he thought, "Could this be a test for me?" He doesnt fully believe me yet? As expected of an archbishop, he is indeed cunning and cunning! ??But after much thought, Xia En couldn''t guess the content of the oracle, so he simply pretended to be profound. "Let the archbishop speak first, and I will add one or two points." ?Musas eyes suddenly froze, and his brain was working rapidly. Judging from the thickness of the two light beams, the oracle that Xia En received was obviously clearer and clearer. ??If he corrects his oracle when supplementing it, wouldn''t it be a disguised attack on the bishop''s majesty? Then, take revenge for the [Black Light King]? This guy has such a deep scheming mind! At this moment, after an accidental collision, both of them thought that the other person was a scheming person, and they were on high alert. ?However, faced with the waiting of so many believers, Musa could not keep delaying. He soon traveled the duties of a bishop, declared. The Lord said, destroy the [Truth Society]! Since we are following the glory of the Lord, we should clear away all obstacles for the Lord! Therefore, I hereby declare that...from today on, the Hui Religion declares war on the [Truth Society]! ?Shaan: !? ?Among all the people present, the one who was most surprised was definitely Shaan who was standing next to Musa. Why is it that Huijiao is suddenly going to war with the [Truth Society]? The tone of declaring war is still the same as that of Lafayette? Could it be said that there is an enmity between Huijiao and the Truth Society? Or say ?Xia En suddenly trembled, remembering the coming of will just now. He seemed to have captured his own thoughts, or wishes? ? And it just so happened that after receiving Augustines warning, Shane had already regarded the [Truth Society] as a formidable enemy. Could it be at that time... No, no, no, no matter what, this is unlikely, right? ?Xia En subconsciously denied this conjecture. Just one of his thoughts turned into an oracle! ? ?This kind of thing is ridiculous no matter how you look at it. Furthermore, my first great enemy is clearly [Hui Siming]? Why is it not mentioned in the oracle? "Wait a minute, is it possible that the relationship between Hui Jiao and [Hui Siming] is originally hostile? So there is no need to mention it at all?" Shanes heart was beating fast. There was no way, this conjecture was so amazing that he began to seriously think about a question Am I really the son of the Lord of Radiance? ?This kind of treatment is not too much to say that he is at the level of a biological father. But just when Xia En was thinking wildly, Musa stretched out his big hand and said loudly. Unfortunately, there are many moles among us. Then, cleaning up the heresy in the [Truth Society] starts from here. The next moment. His big hands clenched tightly. The brilliant stream of light fell from the dome, hitting some of the believers like meteors. No! Bishop Musa! "Why" Spare my life, please! In an instant, several voices of begging were heard in the square. The light group struck by the light flow seemed to have lost the ability to exit the [Land of Glory], and was directly dispersed, annihilated, and eventually turned into nothingness. The light of the soul has completely dissipated, and the fate of these people is self-evident. Xia En couldn''t help but feel awe-struck in his heart. Sure enough, in the [Land of Glory], there are also ways to kill people! ?Furthermore, even among the Hui sect believers, there are actually people from the [Truth Society] who have infiltrated? These two discoveries shocked Xia En. What surprised him even more was that a stream of light fell directly on the newcomer codenamed "Wise Man" beside the high platform. He is actually also a member of the [Truth Society]! Unlike other [Truth Society] members who died without any resistance, the wise man opened his hand. A barrier composed of circles, ovals, parabolas and many other lines blocked the top of his head. ?That barrier has a mathematical beauty, as if it contains many wonderful formulas, and it can temporarily maintain a stalemate with the flowing light. The wise man looked at Musa and said calmly: "Bishop Musa, it seems that your **** made a wrong decision." You will regret it. Musa''s expression remained unchanged: "Get out of here, you dog of truth!" Well see you soon A strange smile appeared on the corner of the wise man''s mouth, and he murmured like a whisper: "I already know the truth!" Suddenly, a barrier formed by lines wrapped around his body and quickly disappeared. Obviously, he successfully escaped from [The Land of Glory]. ?Below, the believers were in an uproar. They didnt expect that this sacred [Glorious Land] would be infiltrated into a sieve by the [Truth Society], and some people managed to escape! This is the [Truth Society]! Bishop Moussa said: "A group of lunatics who have no bottom line and are trying to brainwash everyone! In the name of truth, they do crazy things!" They are good at disguise and deception, deceiving the Lords people. At the same time, their strength cannot be underestimated. From now on, all information about the [Truth Society] will be shared free of charge within the [Glory Land]. This is destined to be a long and difficult battle, but bathed in the glory of the Lord, we will finally win the final victory! Archbishop Musa has obviously reached the full level in terms of "speech", and his words made the believers'' blood boil. At this time, he turned his attention to Xia En again. [Black Light] Your Excellency, is there anything else you want to say? (End of this chapter) Chapter 230 [City of Giant Woods] and [Glow Guard] Chapter 230 [City of Giant Woods] and [Glow Guards] At this time, above the temple. Listening to Archbishop Musas questions and looking at the gazes of many believers below, Xia En finally came to his senses. No matter why the Lord of Hui sent this oracle, it has nothing to do with him. ??The fact that Huijiao declared war on the [Truth Society] is definitely a great thing. The strange and mysterious nature of the [Truth Society], Xia En has personally experienced many times. ??Whether it was the [Thousand Changers] who tried to contact him, or the [Undertaker] who appeared in the promotion copy, or even Augustine''s early warning, this was clearly proven. On the other hand. Huijiao is not a small sect either. Information obtained from underwater ruins such as the Coral City. The Lord of Billions of Lights extended his touch into this world long before the Great Flood, or in an even more ancient era. Moreover, despite several major changes, the fire still remains. From light to darkness, dormant for hundreds of years. From the large number of believers in the [Land of Glory] now, we can also see its huge latent power. ?In Xia Ens opinion, the status of the Lord of Billions of Glory may be even higher than that of [Hui Si Ming]! Of the two, one is a lunatic organization pursuing the so-called "truth". One is a secret sect that believes in alien gods. They are simply a match made in heaven! Xia En doesnt feel sorry for anyone he harms. Furthermore, with Huijiao attracting the attention of the [Truth Society], his pressure will be much less. ??If possible, Xia En actually doesnt want to provoke the [Truth Society] now. After all, he is only at the fourth level now. Even if his combat power is at the fifth level, it will not be enough in the hands of the old monsters of the [Truth Society]. But the problem is, Xia En is already in trouble! The [Thousand Changers] who came to him directly before was the best warning. ?Up until now, Xia En could not remember what the name of [Thousand Changers] was, what it looked like, and how powerful it was. ?This alone is enough to make Xia En feel afraid. This means that the [Truth Society] has noticed itself, whether it is because of Joey or other reasons. Last time there happened to be Mr. Heller from [The Nether Sect]. Next time, they can only rely on Xia En and the others! Instead of passively waiting for the [Truth Society] to send people, it is better to act first! ??Hui Jiao, isnt it an excellent helper? Furthermore, since there is help, of course it must be held in hand! ?These ideas sound complicated, but in fact it only took Shane less than a second. He quickly made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Archbishop Musa is right." This is the sign given to us by the Lord. In fact, the [Truth Society] is secretly planning a huge conspiracy. If it is not stopped in time, not only mankind, but the entire world will fall into an unprecedented crisis! Having had experience playing the role of a divine envoy in [Coral City], Xia En is naturally very proficient in playing the role of a divine stickman, with no flaws at all. As for the so-called "Truth Society conspiracy"... Of course he made it up! Xia En is not a member of the [Truth Society], so how could he possibly know their true purpose? Its all just throwing dirty water anyway, so its better to exaggerate the harmfulness of the [Truth Society] and attract the attention of Hui Sect believers. ?However, this is not the case in the ears of believers. ?They had just witnessed the oracle coming to Xia En, so it was inevitable that they would not understand it as part of the oracle and believe it deeply. It turns out that the [Truth Society] is still secretly planning this kind of thing No wonder the Lord sends down a sign, he is saving us! Praise the Lord for His radiance and love! ?Many believers seemed to be deeply moved and began to praise with tears of gratitude. The corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched. The thoughts of devout believers are indeed different from those of ordinary people. ?His mind suddenly turned around and a bold idea came to his mind. Since they trust me so much, why not add some spice? ?Thinking of this, Xia En slowly said: "I also know two code names." One is [Thousand Changers]. The other one is [The Undertaker]. They are probably the key figures in the [Truth Society] responsible for planning this matter. I think they should be eliminated or captured as soon as possible. This is Xia En''s personal vendetta. He has always remembered the last time he was forced to run away by [Thousand Changers]. Its not that I wont retaliate, the time has not yet come! It is undoubtedly a good choice to borrow the power of Hui Jiao to retaliate against [Thousand Changers]. As for [The Undertaker], Shane has relatively complicated feelings about him. On the one hand, he seems to have a very close connection with Joey, but on the other hand, he seems to have forgotten Joey and is preparing for a certain plan. Honestly, Xia En felt that the apparent power of the Hui Cult alone was not enough to truly kill [The Undertaker]. But it should still be possible to trap him or cause him some trouble. For Xia En, this was just a casual mention. But in the eyes of many believers, the two of them may be names mentioned by the oracle! In this case, they have a way to die! [Thousand-Changeer][Undertaker] At this moment, Musa said: "I have heard their names." With the help of an ancient relic, the former can freely change his appearance, distort other peoples perceptions, and achieve an almost perfect disguise. "Afterwards, he can easily erase the traces of his arrival, which is indeed a bit difficult to deal with." But there are two things he cant change. The first is the light of the soul, and the second is the true name. As he spoke, Musa looked at the group of believers closest to the temple. [Glow Guard], his real name is...Jiaxiu Rosas. Now, go and take his life away. Among the believers, three groups of light took a step forward and knelt on one knee like the Templar Knights. Follow the guidance of the light. ?That voice was as steady as a rock. As soon as the words fell, these three light groups exited the [Land of Glory]. Xia En couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment. Glow Guard? ??This is a group of secret warriors secretly trained by the Hui Sect to be responsible for fighting? ??They are going to kill him just because they heard the true name of [Thousand Changers]? ?The weird thing is, Xia En feels that these people can really do it! ? Xia En found that he seemed to have underestimated the heritage of the ancient sect Hui Jiao. ?As if giving an insignificant order, Musa continued. And [The Undertaker], his full name should be called [The Civilized Undertaker]. It is said that he had witnessed the destruction of several civilizations, such as the ancient dragon civilization, the elven civilization, and...the human civilization before the great flood. Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. He really didnt know this information. As if to illustrate the extraordinary nature of [The Undertaker], Musa began to talk about some history that ordinary people dont know In those older times, humans were just a very weak species among many races. At that time, the real ruler of the world was the ancient dragon that soared in the sky and wandered in the mountains and rivers. Later, the elves gradually grew stronger under the oppression of the ancient dragons, and many intelligent races also had room to breathe. But suddenly one day, the powerful ancient dragon died. No one knows what happened that day, but the darlings of the world, the behemoths with powerful power, disappeared overnight. Only some descendants with ancient dragon blood are left. Subsequently, the elves suddenly became the most powerful race in the world. The strongest extraordinary beings and the most advanced spells were all born among the elves. Its just because of the limited number of the elves themselves and the difficulty in reproduction unique to the immortal species. The area they live in actually only occupies a very small part of the entire world. In other words, it is impossible for the elves to rule the world in a geographical sense. This gives other races room to survive and develop. It is under this situation that human beings grow stronger little by little. In the eyes of the elves, this is actually a quite incredible thing. ?Those creatures that look quite similar to me are obviously extremely weak in individual strength and have a short lifespan. Often when they finish their practice, they will see the young man turn into an old man, and the old man turn into a corpse. ?This even makes some elves feel a little pitiful. ?However, such a weak creature is quietly growing in strength, with footprints all over the continents, and powerful extraordinary beings continue to emerge. Then, humans replaced the elves and became the largest race. When the elves realized this, they couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. How did that small and inconspicuous ethnic group become so powerful? ?However, also because the number of elves is small, humans only need to give them a few territories in the world, and there is no need to break out a racial war. So at that time, several races got along relatively harmoniously. And then ?Musa said in a deep voice: "The elves are destroyed." No one knows how they died, just like the more ancient ancient dragons. Hearing this, the believers present couldn''t help but take a breath. The successive destruction of these two strongest races does not look like a coincidence. It is difficult not to think of the coming of the "Great Flood". Humans, arent they the third strongest race in the world? ?Musa paused and continued: "I have said so much because I want to tell you..." The crisis of world subversion and human destruction has always existed. And this [Mourner], since he has witnessed the demise of civilization, may know the deeper secrets. You need to be cautious about his actions and dont act blindly. If you have any information about him, please report it to me as soon as possible. ?Xia En was stunned for a while after hearing this. ? He ??mentioned it casually, but why did Moussa directly regard [The Undertaker] as a strategic target? Or is [The Undertaker] really related to the destruction of ancient dragons and elves? I really cant tell the difference! After this. The assembly entered the stage of free communication. Before Xia En could do anything, several light groups gathered around him, chatting and inquiring about the news. Xia En was not polite and asked directly. Do any of you know where the elves once gathered? For example...the [Emerald Ancient City] in [Leng Lie Sea]. ?Most of the believers are a little confused. After all, elf itself is a rather unfamiliar word to many people. ??Had it not been for Musas brief introduction just now, some people would not even know that this race exists. The understanding of the elven ruins is even less. At this time. "Nuan Xue", who is also a newcomer, said: "Senior, do you mean the ruins under the sea?" ?Shaan nodded: "That''s right." Actually, near the sea area where I am, there is a ruins suspected to be that of the elves. Nuanxue said: "We call it... [City of Giant Trees]." If senior wants to come, I can act as a guide. ?Xia Ens eyes narrowed. ?Of course he remembered that Nuanxue was in the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. In other words, this [City of Giant Woods] is located under the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. Coincidentally, the distance between [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [Magnetic Sea Area] is not too far. Xia En asked again: "Are you sure that [City of Giant Woods] is related to elves?" Nuanxue vowed: "I''m sure." I was attacked by treants there. Treants, similar to elves, are one of the companion races of elves. According to legend, in ancient times, tree people often appeared as guards of the elves. Based on this alone, the credibility of Nuan Xues words is 70%! Xia En didnt hesitate for long before he said decisively: Then Ill leave it to you. ?Although exploring the [Sea of ??Annihilation], you will definitely encounter a lot of risks. But in order to find other elven temples, such risks are still within the acceptable range. The next day. The edge of [Magnetic Sea Area]. ?An unknown pirate ship is moving forward slowly. ?At the corner of the deck, a seemingly ordinary sailor looked at the sea, like a patient and cunning hunter, waiting for his prey to appear. Calculating the time, its almost time, right? ?The sailor murmured to himself: "According to the master''s deduction, there is an 87% probability that the target will appear today." This time, why not just disguise yourself as one of his crew members? Like the white-haired siren? I heard that they have a certain ambiguous relationship. If I suddenly remove my disguise in bed, what expression will he show? ?Thinking of such a scene, the sailor couldn''t help but laugh evilly. For him, the human heart is the best toy. Last time, an old guy from the [Netherworld Sect] saved you. This time, I want to see where you can escape! A flash of joy flashed across the sailor''s face, and he had already thought of how to make the other party fall into confusion and despair. That fool probably never imagined that our real target is actually the crystal coffin Perhaps I can tell him this secret before he dies? ?Just as the sailor was thinking about it, a door made of light suddenly opened on the deck in front of him. Several knights in armor came out. The person who is the leader has a sword in his head. [The Thousand Changers], Jasio Rosas. In the name of radiance, we grant you death! (End of this chapter) Chapter 231 【Gray Mask】【Deep Sea Singer】 Chapter 231 [Grey Mask] [Deep Sea Singer] Glow Guard!? ?This seemingly ordinary pirate sailor is none other than [Thousand-Changeer] Jia Xiu. ??Whether its Ashiu or another name, its actually just a pseudonym he used. At this time, based on his knowledge, he could naturally tell the identity of these knights at a glance. But the question is, why do these [Glow Guards] know their true names and attack them directly? ?It seems like he has never provoked those lunatics who believe in ancient alien gods, right? No matter how puzzled Jia Xiu was, the big sword of the leading knight was already slashing at him with a fiery and bright light! You lackeys of foreign gods, do you really think Im afraid of you? Jia Xiu shouted loudly, and shadows with different faces appeared behind him. ?Those are the people who have been disguised by the [Thousand Changers], and among them there are some powerful Mysterians. They gathered their strength and faced the bright sword light together! simultaneously! The moment the phantoms came into contact with the sword light, many phantoms quickly shattered, like a knife cutting through butter without any resistance. Jia Xius expression suddenly changed, and he felt horrified. This force is... Legendary! ? But, how is it possible? Even in the [Truth Society], the number of legends is quite limited. ?Take Jia Xiu himself as an example. Although he has a good reputation at sea and is feared by quite a few people, it mainly depends on the ability of the mysterious relic. His own rank is actually only sixth level. ?This is of course not to say that the sixth level is very low, but in front of the legend, the sixth level is indeed not enough. Just like there is a "domain" gap between the fourth level and the fifth level, there is also an insurmountable barrier between the legend and the sixth level. Even this barrier is thicker and stronger. And often only those who have experienced this gap firsthand will understand how hopeless it is. With the shattering of several phantoms. ??Jia Xiu suddenly stepped back, glanced at the remaining four [Glow Guards] from the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly became dull. Among these four people, there is actually a legend! The other three people are also exuding at least a sixth level aura! Thousand ChangesJia Xiu was really shocked. Without any grievance or enmity, Hui Jiao actually directly sent two legendaries and three sixth-level ones! Just to deal with him alone? ! A sixth-level secret pather whose [Truth Number] is not even in the top 100? This...why? In an instant, Jia Xiu had to try hard to remember whether he had offended Hui Jiao somewhere recently. ?However, the Glow Guards don''t care about the thoughts of a heretic. They came here just to kill Jia Xiu with thunder! Because...this is part of the oracle! My light will tear you apart! ??Behind Jia Xiu, an extremely blazing light burst out from the hands of another legendary guard. In an instant, the entire sea suddenly became brighter, like a beam of sunlight crossing the space. ??The beam-like magic blasted directly at Jia Xiu, seemingly able to blast away everything that stood in its way. A strong sense of crisis surged up from his soul. Jia Xiu trembled all over and looked hideous. No, I cant die You forced me to do this! The next moment. An illusory gray-white mask appeared on Jia Xiu''s face. ??This mask has a tear-like mark on the corner of its eye. It is obviously just a mask, but it seems to be alive and have its own life. ?It seems like it will smile at any time, or burst into tears suddenly. Forbidden relic[Grey Mask! This is not only the code name of "Thousand Changers" in the "Truth Society", but also Jia Xiu''s greatest support when traveling across the seven seas. ??With the appearance of the [Grey Mask], Jia Xiu''s temperament suddenly changed, becoming deep and mysterious, even giving people an... inhuman feeling? Masked Dancer, come out! Jia Xiu roared angrily, and more and more shadows appeared behind him. ??Different from the shadows just now, their faces all wore gray-white masks. ?Each mask has a different expression. Some were crying, some were laughing, some were sad, and some were full of anger. Immediately afterwards, beings called "masked dancers" fell on other pirates on the ship. ?These people were immediately controlled by the masks and rushed towards the Glow Guards. ??After receiving the blessing of the mask, the originally weak pirates also possess a power close to the sixth level, which is equivalent to Jia Xiu''s clone. For a moment, the scene looked like the Glow Guards were surrounded. However, in the face of absolute strength, numbers are meaningless. The knight headed by said calmly. Let the glow purify everything. In an instant. ??The dazzling light expanded with the knight as the center, and quickly expanded into a huge light group, enveloping the entire pirate ship... On the sea. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] were traveling smoothly one after the other. At this speed, we can sail into the [Sea of ??Annihilation] in about seven days. On the deck, Xia En looked at the sea in the distance and analyzed it secretly in his heart. I just dont know if that Nuan Xue can be trusted. Will he see that I am not a true believer? Xia En is naturally quite wary of Nuan Xue, whom he has made friends with in the Land of Glory. This is like We only chatted a few words online, and immediately entered the offline basic stage. ?This progress is really too fast. ?However, because of Laila and the possibility of traveling back in time, Shane had to go to the [City of Giant Trees]. Alas, its still too weak. ?Xia En sighed and said with emotion. ??If he has been promoted to Legend and has a crew of six and seven levels, why would he have to worry about a small "offline encounter?" ?Chance Nanami can let herself walk sideways, right? ??Imagining that scene, Xia En couldn''t help but smile. Captain, Captain, what are you laughing at? ?Besides, Tracy, standing on An''s shoulder, couldn''t help but ask. Xia En explained casually: "I was thinking that if one day, you all become legends." "I don''t even need to take action. Wherever I stand, the enemies will be scared away, right?" Legend? What is that? Yan Yan, who was tall and wrapped in a robe, opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "Is it very powerful?" ?Shaan: Not to mention, so far, he has not figured out what Yan Yan''s combat prowess is. The main reason is that the "immortality" feature is too bad. Xia En estimated that even if Yan Yan was frozen in a glacier for thousands of years, he would probably not die. ??Moreover, the flame that uses itself as fuel is also very mysterious and strange. Didnt you see that the previous [Apostles of Filth] were all burned by the flames? ?However, success is also a flame, and failure is also a flame. ??If Yan Yan were to attack with all his strength, not only his enemies, but also his companions would be burned to pieces. So, unless absolutely necessary, Xia En rarely lets Yan Yan take action. ? Tracey knew that Yan Yan really had no common sense in this area and explained. Legendary, he is a seventh-level Mystic Pathfinder, he is awesome! Our captain is only at the fourth level now! Do you understand what this means? Yan Yan''s eyes were full of clear confusion, and he said to himself in his heart: "Is it very powerful?" "Why do I feel like I have burnt so many legends?" Ann reconfigured new pens and paper, so there was no need to use Tracey as a sounding board. He wrote with charcoal: [Sorry, Captain, I am still too weak. I will definitely become stronger as soon as possible! Seeing this, Tracy hurriedly said: "Me too!" Ans words actually caused a subtle change in the atmosphere of the deck. ??On this trip to [Sand Island], most of the crew members were not able to explore the island with Xia En. Although there are factors to protect the [Black Swan], the crew members all know that this is also because they are weak and cannot provide much help. This point made the crew a little stimulated and they felt a little more urgent. They are all holding a lot of energy in their hearts! No one wants to be a liability on this ship. An is like this, Feiya is like this. ?The reason why Xian Ge chose to transform in sleep is probably related to this. Xia En is naturally happy to see this happen. ?No matter how powerful he is, there will always be times when he is unable to do anything else. Besides, there is also the existence of [Captain''s Majesty] - every time the crew members are promoted, he can get a certain enhancement. The stronger the crew, the stronger the captain! Speaking of which, I wonder how Joeys promotion process is going ?Xia En looked at the cabin with some worry. ??Thats right, the day after he returned to the [Black Swan], Joey heard the invitation from the [Secret Sea] and began the third-level promotion ritual. The promotion rituals for the third level are different from those for the fourth level. The difference between the speed of time flow between the ritual and reality is not too big. In other words, this promotion may take Joey half a day or even a day. ?This inevitably makes Xia En a little worried. Because, the profession she obtained at the second level is [Wang Yang Singer], which is also a hidden profession. ?This shows that the secret path that Joey takes will be different from that of ordinary secret path followers. Just like Shane. ?Xia En has not forgotten the hell-level difficulty when he was promoted to the second and third levels. At this time. A loud and long roar came from the captain''s cabin. Immediately afterwards, a small bronze dragon flapped its wings and flew out of the window with a roar. Wuhu! The great bronze dragon, Xiange Maya, has now awakened from her slumber! Xiange held her head high and shouted excitedly: "This sea will soon tremble and crawl under my wings!" The words are quite impressive. But the soft and waxy child''s voice greatly destroyed this point. It feels like a little girl saying "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up". ?However, Shane and the other crew members can see... ?This deep sleep brought a lot of transformation to Xian Ge. ?The bronze scales on his body became denser and newer, just like the lead dust was washed away. The body shape of the entire dragon has not changed much, but the muscle lines on its body have become more and more prominent, making no one doubt the powerful power contained in its body. What is worth noting is that there is some dark gold color at the ends of its wings and tail. At the top of the head, the pair of small sharp horns were obviously longer. At first glance, the pair of sharp corners looks a bit like a small crown? ?Shaan inexplicably remembered a sentence in the description of Xian Ge. The bronze crown has long been rusty, and only the tempering of blood and fire can regain its new life. Is there any connection between the two? ?The crew members have been getting along with Xian Ge for so long, so they are quite familiar with her, and they already know her character as a show-off, pretentious and cowardly little girl. ??Of course I have no idea about this big talk. Just thought it was another ordinary bragging by Xian Ge. But at this moment, the calm sea surface suddenly began to tremble, layers of water waves appeared, and waves hit the hull one after another. It seems to be in response to Xian Ges words of tremblingly crawling! ?Xia En raised his eyebrows and looked at Xian Ge high up. ??This little dragon, is he so capable now? Who knows, Xian Ge was at a loss for a while, and said to himself: "What, what is going on?" This...was done by me? Shortly afterwards, a soft and ethereal singing gradually sounded amidst the sound of the waves. Wait, this is it? ?Shaan was the first to react. He immediately turned his head to look at the cabin. ?Listen carefully, the ethereal singing sounds are coming from that direction. ?This song is far more than just a song. It also has the qualities to soothe people, purify the soul, and even control the sea. The waves around [Black Swan] fluctuate because of it. ?But if you observe carefully, you can find that these waves are not aggressive, but seem to express worship and surrender. ?Thinking of this, Xia En had a strange expression. Isnt this characteristic the authority of the Storm Goddess? Even if a priest of the Deep Sea Church casts a magical spell, it may not have such an obvious effect. Not long after, a girl wearing a blue and white robe walked out of the cabin. She still has a waterfall of silver-white hair, and her red eyes are like the finest rubies, which set off her fair complexion. ?However, compared with yesterday, Joey obviously had an indescribable temperament. Like...divinity? ?Xia En couldn''t help but frown. Yes, it is divinity. ?At this time, Joy no longer seemed to be a living girl, but a statue of God that was admired and revered in the church. Sacred, transcendent, aloof. ?This feeling made Xia En feel that something was wrong. Fortunately, the next second, Joey asked timidly. Mr. Captain, whats wrong? Did I do something wrong? The moment the girl spoke, that divinity was quickly stripped away from her body, turning her back into the lively girl she was. ?However, Xia En still did not dare to relax, and immediately stepped forward, carefully observing Joey''s condition up and down. Ship, Mr. Captain ?Under Xia Ens gaze, Joeys face turned slightly red and he spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito. Everyone is watching... Ahem! Fei Ya coughed dryly, and all the crew members turned around silently. If theres nothing you can do, you can do whatever you want. ?Xia En really didn''t care about such details at this time, he just wanted to figure out the source of that divinity. But suddenly. Boom! ?On the sea not far away, a violent light group suddenly bloomed. (End of this chapter) Chapter 232 Joeys decision Chapter 232 Joeys decision ?The moment the light group burst out, the entire sea area seemed to light up, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the sea area. Thats Xia En looked from a distance and saw a light group with a diameter of tens of meters floating on the sea. But he was so familiar with that bright and dazzling light that he couldn''t be more familiar with it. Isnt this the divine magic of the Hui religion? Xia En had a strange expression: "Moreover, this level of brilliance and such a large scope... is definitely not something ordinary believers can achieve!" To be honest, Shanes first thought was His trouble has happened! ??Hui sent people to clean up the door! ??But then I thought about it, if the Hui Sect really came to kill him, the inner ghost, why not go directly to the Black Swan? ?So, why do these Hui sect believers come? ??Xia En took a closer look and vaguely saw that in the light group was a medium-sized pirate ship, which seemed to be of little fame. After all, any pirate ship that is somewhat famous will have very conspicuous features. This made Xia En even more curious. ??What evil did this group of little pirates commit that led to retaliation from the Hui Sect? Curious, but after Xia En carefully sensed the level of the secret power of the light group, he said directly. Lets go! Good guy, at least the sixth level of secret power! You cant afford to offend me, so you cant afford to hide? ?At the same time, taking advantage of this time, Xia En also opened the panel and checked the status of the next two crew members. Crew: Xian GeMaya (bound) Race: Bronze Dragon Rank: three Talent: Majesty of the Bronze Dragon; Wings in the Sky; Resistance to Pollution; Sensitive Sensing; Knowledgeable... Skills: Fire Forging; Mimicry Magic; Provocation; Melee Combat; Dragon Language Magic... Description: The young dragon has initially grown up, possessing the wings to soar in the sky for a long time and the horns to master the power of "forged fire". But it still has a long way to go before it can wear the crown of bronze and fire. After reading Xian Ges personal panel, Xia En nodded with satisfaction. ?This promotion has brought a lot of benefits to Xian Ge. The new talent [Wings of Sky and Sky] obviously refers to the pair of dark golden wings behind it. Of course the original Xian Ge can fly, but it can only fly short distances at low altitudes. This new talent gives it the ability to truly soar into the sky. ?In Xia Ens opinion, Xian Ge can undoubtedly become an extremely good investigator. A flying unit! ??This is still a very rare unit for pirates on the Seven Seas. It is excellent whether it is to detect the enemy''s situation in advance or to launch an attack as a back-up. Isnt there such a saying? How to lose with the flying dragon riding on the face! ?Furthermore, Xia En felt that through [Captains Majesty], he also got part of the effect of [Wings of Sky and Sky]. Its not that a pair of wings grew directly from his back, but that he seemed to have a mysterious intimacy with the sky and airflow. After that, when Xia En uses blood energy to fly again, he will probably fly more easily and with less effort. ?However, what makes Xia En a little curious is Xian Ges newly obtained [Mimicry Magic] and [Fire Forging Technique]. The former is easier to understand. It is probably some kind of spell that changes the appearance. But the latter Xia En clicked on the annotation of this skill and looked at it carefully. Forging Fire Type: Skill Quality: inferior Description: One of the bronze dragon''s innate abilities. Can use flames to temper metal equipment, weapons, and materials. Remove some impurities and improve the quality without affecting the original characteristics of the item. The higher the quality of the flame, the higher the rank of the bronze dragon, and the better the quenching effect. After reading it, Xia En understood immediately. Oh, forge! ?But shouldnt this be the talent of dwarves? Why does the bronze dragon have such skills? Or is it that the bronze dragons in this world are different from what he remembered? Think about it, the ancient dragons in this world have disappeared for thousands of years, and many rare talents have not been recorded. Either way, this is a very practical skill. ??There happened to be Yan Yan on the ship, and the quality of his flames was rare in the world. ?Xia En has made up his mind to let Xian Ge temper the crew''s equipment and even some core components on the ship. It can be improved a little bit! There is a ready-made palu...crew, so why not use it? Immediately, Shane looked at Joey''s personal panel again. Crew: Joey (bound) Bloodline: Siren (activated) Secret Path Occupation: Level 3 (Deep Sea Singer) Talent: Storm Power (incomplete); Sea Water Affinity; Graceful Singing Voice; Magic Affinity Skills: Storm magic (summoning storm, sea breeze infiltration, hymn singing); siren transformation; acute gastroenteritis... Description: The girl chosen by the Storm Goddess. However, the attention and love of gods may not always be a good thing. What may be waiting for her will be the end? ?Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. The name "Deep Sea Singer" represents what Joey has obtained, which is obviously another hidden profession. This should be a good thing. ?But at the same time, Xia En also noticed that the suffix of the original [Storm Authority] was changed from [extremely incomplete] to [incomplete]. In other words, Joey gained more authority from the Storm Goddess. The vision caused by her promotion just now, as well as the skill [Storm Magic], fully illustrate this point. But the problem is ?Joy is not a believer of the Storm Goddess, let alone a priest or priest. A person who does not believe in the Storm Goddess at all has gained the authority of the goddess. ?This incident itself is extremely strange. Just like the sentence in the description, the gaze and love of gods may not be a good thing. ?The only possible connection between Joy and the Storm Goddess is her siren bloodline, her mother Diana, and some experiences she had when she was young. [The Truth Society] imprisoned Joy and her mother and conducted research in order to steal the authority of the gods..." And now, Joey is indeed gaining the authority of the storm... Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he connected many previous clues together. Then, from the perspective of the [Truth Society], Joey is just a container and a tool. Xia En was horrified. He suddenly understood why the [Truth Society] cared so much about Joey. The authority over the storm that Joey received is like a growing fruit and a vigorously growing leek. ?When she truly "matures", that''s when the Truth Society will swing its sickle and reap the fruits. Not only that, the divinity of the Storm Goddess will also have a great influence on Joey. ?Just like that moment ago, the feeling Joey gave Xia En was particularly strange. It was as if he had become a different person. As Joey continues to gain the authority of the Storm Goddess, this divine infection will only become more serious. ??If Joey''s humanity is completely replaced by divinity, she will no longer be the innocent and lively girl she was before. Instead, it became an empty shell without a soul, or a lofty statue of a god. "Huh..." Xia En exhaled a long breath, feeling extremely heavy. I have to say that Joey has always had a very special status in Xia En''s heart. ??Joy is the first crew member since Shane''s time travel, and the only one who accompanies him through the most difficult and weakest period. ??Its also Joey, who has witnessed the [Black Swan] grow from a small broken ship to the current giant ship on the sea. Not to mention, Joey is a very charming girl. ??Xia En would definitely be lying if he said he had no special feelings. At the moment, the only good news is probably that the [Truth Society] does not seem to be sure of Joeys identity. This can also be seen from the attitude of [Thousand Changes] last time. ??If they really knew that Joey was the Siren who escaped back then, they would definitely send a large number of strong men to capture her directly. This may be an oversight by the [Truth Society]. It may also be that the original plan later encountered some problems. ?However, as the reputation of Shane and [Black Swan] becomes more and more widespread, more and more interested people will inevitably notice Joeys existence. In case the [Truth Society] discovers Joeys identity... ?Xia Ens expression became more solemn and he thought to himself. It seems that the [Truth Society] cannot be destroyed forever! We need to add more firepower to [The Land of Glory] and find other forces that can deal with the [Truth Society]. ?Faced with such a huge organization, Xia En has no intention of speedrunning alone. He doesnt have that ability now! In this case, we must try our best to attract the available forces. Make friends more numerous and enemies less numerous. This sentence is a wise saying. The Huijiao, of course, is one of them. They have already started working with the Truth Society. The Federation of the Seven Seas can also be counted as half. The Federation probably still has a disgusting attitude toward the [Truth Society], a secretive organization that acts crazy. ??However, due to the mixed situation within the Federation, it may have been infiltrated into a sieve by the [Truth Society]. So it can only be counted as half. Finally, the name of a sect came to Seans mind The Nether Sect! Judging from Mr. Heller''s actions, this sect that believes in ancient gods has a lot of goodwill towards him. Under normal circumstances, Xia En would definitely stay away from the [Netherworld Sect], but in order to eliminate the [Truth Society], he would not mind making some contacts. "These three forces should have a lot of confidence in facing the [Truth Society], right?" "However, I still have to find an entry point..." At this time, Xia En did not know that his sudden idea would set off a terrible storm on the Seven Seas. That was a real **** storm. ?In front of him, the girl with white hair and red eyes watched the captain''s expression change from joy to thought, and then worry, and even a little panic. ?But in the end, Mr. Captain seemed to have made some kind of determination, and his expression returned to his usual calmness. To be honest, Joey found Mr. Captains changing expressions very interesting. After all, except for the first few encounters with enemies, Xia En had shown some panic. After that, he basically had a confident and calm attitude. The reason is simple. Shane is the captain. ?The captain must bear the lives of the people on this ship! The crew can be timid and weak, but the captain cannot. ??If the captain collapses, the ship is not far away from being destroyed. ??But as the first crew member to know Sean, Joey still hopes that the captain can trust and rely on them more and not have to shoulder everything by himself. After noticing Shanes gaze several times, Joey suddenly came to his senses... ?Mr. Captain, maybe this expression has something to do with yourself? After hesitating for a moment, Joey asked proactively. Mr. Captain, what happened? If the trouble is related to me, please tell me, I am serious. ?Xia En looked into the girls stubborn eyes and suddenly realized... Actually, its not just him who has changed. ??Joy has been on the Black Swan for so long and has experienced several crises together. He is no longer the timid little follower he was at the beginning. ?Shane is not a pretentious person. Regarding Joey''s life experience, she does have the right to know. ?Hence, Xia En told Joey all his speculations and worries in detail. Experimental subjectcontainerthe authority of the Storm Goddessthe Society of Truth ?Joy muttered to himself, silently chewing on these shocking secrets. Her little face was slightly pale, but her expression was still calm. In her own words. Youve been with Mr. Captain for so long and seen so many big scenes, youre finally getting used to it, right? Soon, Joey calmed down and asked. Mr. Captain, is that [Truth Society] really powerful? "Yes." Xia En nodded: "With our current strength, we really can''t afford to provoke them." The most we can do is eliminate some of its minions. ??Joy was not disappointed, and just said: "Then I will try to show as little publicity as possible in the future. Anyway, I am a mage and can cast spells in the dark." "There is also the Storm Magic, but I don''t want to use it blatantly." Xia En said: "As long as you are not associated with the Storm Magic, it shouldn''t have much to do with it." Its actually quite normal to have priests from the Deep Sea Church on the ship. "Um." ??Joy responded, then raised his head, looked into Xia En''s eyes, and said seriously. Mr. Captain, I will continue to walk on the secret road. "But" "I know that Mr. Captain is worried that if I continue to advance, I will be contaminated by the divinity of the Storm Goddess." ??Joy''s tone was more serious than ever: "But I think I can overcome this." I can stick to my own heart under the influence of divinity. ?Joy paused and continued to express his judgment. I have personally experienced the advent of the Storm Goddesss consciousness. I feel that she does not have such strong malice, especially towards our Siren family. Otherwise, I would not be able to control the storm. In my opinion, this divinity may be a test. Only by passing this test can one climb to a higher level. Hearing these words, Xia En fell into thinking. ?Joys guess undoubtedly reveals another possibility. ?If this conjecture is true, Joey will gain more and more authority as he continues to pass the test. In the end, even replace the Storm Goddess? My crew are gods? ?Shane gave up those far-fetched fantasies. In fact, when Joey said these words, he had already concluded it in his heart. He smiled and said, "Well, I believe you." (End of this chapter) Chapter 233 [Witch of Annihilation] and [Sea of ??Annihilation] Chapter 233 [Witch of Annihilation] and [Sea of ??Annihilation] ?While Shane was communicating with Joey, the [Black Swan] was also getting farther and farther away from the sea where the light group was blooming. So, they dont know After a while, the dazzling light gradually faded, revealing the original appearance of the pirate ship. ?On the ship, the pirates controlled by [Grey Mask] all fell on the deck. ?However, they did not die, but fell into a coma. ??When the pirates wake up, they will probably forget everything that happened before, and will only remember that a dazzling white light lit up in front of their eyes. Among the scattered pirates, the expressions on the faces of the five [Glow Guards] were as calm as before, without any emotional changes. ?If you look closely, you will find that these [Glow Guards] have always had a temperament that is different from ordinary people. Indifferent, cold, sacred. In other words, some...non-human characteristics. Its like Joey when he was just promoted. This is the impact of "divinity". ?These [Glow Guards] have long decided to devote their lives to serving the great radiance, so they have sacrificed some human qualities. For example, the emotions that humans should have. Similarly, this is also one of the prices for gaining strength. At this time, the leader of the [Glow Guards] held the head of a gray-haired woman in his hand. ??It is exactly the face that Jia Xiu, the Thousand Changer, has shown. Thousand Changesis still dead after all. ?Although her methods are indeed weird and unpredictable, facing a luxurious lineup of two legends and three sixth-level warriors, it can only allow her to survive for a few dozen seconds. ??The guard opened the [Glory Crystal Mirror] with his other hand and reported without any fluctuation in tone. [Thousand Changers] Jasio Rosas is dead. But the forbidden relic [Grey Mask] has disappeared and is suspected of escaping on its own. Please ask the Archbishop for instructions. When the quality of the forbidden relics reaches a certain level, spiritual wisdom will be born. Of course, this intelligence may not be too high. It is more likely to be like an ignorant cub, instinctively seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Therefore, we will use our own abilities to stay away from those enemies that are too powerful. This is what the Glow Guards meant by "escaping on their own". Soon, Archbishop Musas voice sounded: Our goal is only the [Thousand Changers]. Its just a forbidden relic, so dont pay too much attention to it. For ordinary secret travelers, such forbidden relics are undoubtedly a coveted treasure. But for Huijiao, which has a profound foundation, it may not be so important. ?Take this sudden "suppression of heresy" operation as an example. The [Glow Guards] relied on a more mysterious and ancient relic to locate Jia Xiu''s location and opened her box directly. ?Musa continued: "Now that the mission is completed, come back as soon as possible." The war with the [Truth Society] is about to begin, and you will play a vital role in it. Hearing this, the five Glow Guards responded: "Yes, Bishop!" Suddenly, a glorious door opened in front of them. The five people stepped into it together and disappeared. at the same time. A corner of the cabin of the Black Swan. A gray-white dry mask lay there quietly, without even the strength to move. The surface of the mask was full of cracks, as if it would completely shatter at any time, and the expression on it was even uglier than crying. Finally...escaped... Gray MaskThe immature spirit thought this way, giving birth to a feeling of surviving a disaster. Its last host is indeed dead, and cannot die any more. And [Gray Mask] took advantage of the light group to light up and used his own ability to arrive in the cabin of the ship. The reason why it is the [Black Swan] is, on the one hand, because the distance between the two ships is not too far. On the other hand, it is because [Gray Mask] once left a secret mark on this ship. ?This is the reason why [Thousand Changers] can confirm the location of [Black Swan]. ?Through the traction of this mark, [Gray Mask] was transported to the [Black Swan], but it also exhausted its remaining power. ?However, [Gray Mask] was not panicked. In its long "mask life", it actually encountered this situation many times. ?As long as it meets a host, as long as it is a little greedy, it will not be able to help but wear this mask, and then step by step fall into the big network it weaves. Using [Forbidden Relics] usually comes with a price, and the more powerful the relic, the more dangerous the price. This is why they are called "taboos". The cost of using [Grey Mask] is soul. ?As long as you wear this mask, it means that the "contract" has been reached. Every time the subsequent host uses the ability of [Gray Mask], a part of the soul will be assimilated by the mask. Until the end, the soul was completely swallowed by the [Grey Mask] and completely turned into a puppet of this relic. As for the previous host [Thousand Changers], he actually used a very tricky method. She chose to trade with [Gray Mask]. ?Each time the ability is used, [Thousand Transformers] will sacrifice the souls of the people they transformed into. Coupled with some measures from the [Truth Society] for checks and balances. This allowed the two sides to maintain a delicate balance and coexist in "harmony" for so long. At the moment, getting rid of the previous host may not be a bad thing for [Grey Mask]. It is equivalent to releasing some of the constraints and limitations. Someone is coming? Gray MaskGlanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blue figure flashing not far away. It suddenly felt a little excited. It doesnt want to stay in a dark cabin all its life. Its original plan was to wait until it naturally accumulated some strength and then sneak up on the deck. ?Then, it was natural for him to be discovered and picked up by the captain of the ship. Gray Maskhas long observed that the captain of this ship is very extraordinary, especially the quality of his soul, which is completely different from ordinary people. ??If the soul of an ordinary mystic is compared to a home-cooked dish, then Shane''s soul is equivalent to a Manchu-Han banquet prepared by a group of five-star chefs. It exudes an extremely attractive fragrance all the time. Gray Maskeven had a premonition that if the captain''s soul could be completely swallowed, it would even undergo a transformation like a rebirth. ?Of course, if it is picked up by other crew members, [Gray Mask] will not be disappointed. The crew members on this ship all have their own merits and are excellent food for the ship. At this time, the figure that appeared in the cabin was its first prey! Soon, the man walked up to [Gray Mask]. Perhaps to be precise. Its not walking, its drifting? ?Miss Ghost, who is wearing a blue robe and has a looming figure, is on daily patrol. ?Due to the characteristics of the ghost, Vivian can ignore the walls and appear in any corner of the [Black Swan]. Xia En simply handed over the daily inspection and wheel-finding tasks to her, which was considered as finding something for her to do. Vivian lowered her head and looked at the extra masks on the wooden board in surprise. Where did this thing come from? It seems like there wasnt one before, right? She was surprised, and [Gray Mask] was even more surprised. This little girl is a ghost?! Gray Maskhas followed several hosts, including powerful ones like Thousand Transformers. In terms of knowledge, it should exceed 80% of the secret travelers in the Seven Seas, and they have naturally seen the existence of ghosts. But the ghost in front of him was different from what he remembered. Ghost, as the remaining soul body of life, is actually very unstable. ?Many ghosts can only last for a few days, and some are crazy, with extremely chaotic memories and emotions, like a landmine that can explode at any time. But right now, this blue-haired, blue-robed ghosts expression and tone are just like a normal person. ?The soul is very complete. ?However, at this time, [Grey Mask] did not give [Gray Mask] too long to think about this situation. Forget it, ghosts will be ghosts. Her soul may also be very delicious... ?Hence, [Gray Mask] whispered in a seductive voice: "Come on...come on..." Put on me and I will give you strength Vivian was startled: "What is the sound? Is this mask talking?" After a brief hesitation, Vivian picked up the mask. No one wants me even if I think about it. Unlike the other crew members on the ship, Vivian was forced to stay on the Black Swan - in order to escape from the cage-like island. Her relationship with Shane is not as close as other crew members. ??Although Xia En once said that when Vivian needs to take action, she cannot refuse. But in fact, there has never been a situation that was critical enough for Vivian to take action. Her biggest achievement so far should be the plates of barbecue at the celebration banquet. So, even Xia En doesnt know her true combat power. At this time, Vivian planned to study this strange mask herself before giving it to the captain. This is exactly what [Gray Mask] wants. Gray MaskThe corner of his mouth raised a smile. Young girl, wear me, and you will have the power to control peoples hearts. Oh? So powerful? Is it true? Vivian didnt think much and directly covered her face with the [Grey Mask]. A burst of ecstasy immediately appeared on [Gray Mask]s face. ?It never expected that this ghost would be so easy to deceive, so it foolishly put it on itself. "In this case, the contract has been concluded..." At this moment, [Gray Mask] suddenly stopped talking. Nothats not right! You ?It suddenly realized that the soul in contact with it was by no means a sheep that it could plunder, but... A cold, deep, dead mass, like a thousand-year-old ice existence. She was supposed to be sleeping. ?And his touch made her wake up slightly. In an instant, a force called "Nirvana" quickly infected [Gray Mask]. ??There are more and more cracks on the surface of this mask, and its expression is getting stiffer and stiffer. Gray Maskfinally felt a fear that was stronger than ever ?It feels its power is rapidly diminishing. ?Its remaining soul is leaving its body as quickly as the ice and snow melt in spring! ?Like the hosts it swallowed in the past. ?Amidst the great fear, a trembling voice finally came from under the mask: "You... you are not an ordinary ghost, what on earth are you..." In the process, the mask gradually blended into Miss Ghosts face. The tear mole has become a part of her. Or maybe, there was a tear mole in the corner of her eye? Witch. The ghost girl suddenly laughed: "Someone once called me...the witch of annihilation who controls the soul." ?However, at this time, [Grey Mask] could no longer be heard. Ten seconds later. Vivian looked in front of her eyes, touched her face again, and said doubtfully. Wheres my mask? Wheres my big mask? She was not the type to get hung up on such trivial matters. After wondering for a while, she continued her patrol mission. No one knows what happened deep in the cabin. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] continue to move steadily towards their destination. Seven days later. Two ships sailed into an unusual sea area. On the deck, Xia En looked around at the sea and clearly felt the change in the environment. The sky in this sea area seems to be darker. A gust of sea breeze blew, bringing a slight chill. ?The color of the sea water is obviously darker. If you look closely, it is faintly red and black, as if a sea beast died here not long ago. In contrast. Swimming fish and even other marine life in the sea seem to have become scarce. Let alone the ships on the sea. ?At a glance, the entire sea area gives people a desolate and dead feeling. This is the [Sea of ??Annihilation]? ?Shaan secretly marveled: It feels a bit similar to the Dead Sea on Earth. But the reason why there are rare traces of living things in the Dead Sea is because of the extremely high salt concentration in the seawater, and here... is it because there is a special secret power in the seawater? Could it be related to the kingdom that existed here before the great flood? To be honest, Shane didnt have much interest in exploring history. He is just a captain, not an archaeologist. But after traveling back to the past [Emerald Island], he knew that if he wanted to change history, he must first understand history. It was only then that we began to pay attention to issues that had been ignored before. Mr. Captain! ??Joy stood beside him and asked curiously: "I heard that if you go east from the [Sea of ??Annihilation], you will reach the [Ashless Sea]." What would the sea be like without sunlight? Sunless Sea ?The last time Xia En heard this name was when he was communicating with the apostles during the promotion ceremony. This sea area actually still existed in the post-Flood era. ??Moreover, the secret treasures hidden in it have also attracted countless captains. ?Even, the reason why some ships appear in the [Sea of ??Annihilation] is to pass through this sea area and reach the fertile [Sunless Sea]. Xia En is not ready to explore the [Sunless Sea] yet, but he also silently wrote down the name as a backup option. At this time. Xian Ge, who was hovering over the Black Swan, landed and reported. Captain Shane, there is an unknown ship approaching from the northeast! (End of this chapter) Chapter 234 【Mrs. Ji Ya】【City of Giant Trees】 Chapter 234 [Mrs. Ji Ya] [City of Giant Woods] ?Hearing this information, Xia En was not panicked and asked Xian Ge. What kind of ship is it? Xiangehui reported: "It is a large gray-black ship, bigger than the [Black Swan], with an orange snowflake pattern printed on the sail." Xia En suddenly understood: "Don''t worry, that''s not our enemy." ?The owner of that big ship is obviously "Nuan Xue" whom he contacted in [The Land of Glory]. In the past seven days, Xia En often "chatted online" with the other party. Not only to inquire about the situation of [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [City of Giant Trees] in advance, but also to get to know this "netizen" whom I have never met before. ??Although the identity of a Huijiao believer provides basic trust. But can believers who have not seen the [Truth Society] sneak into the [Land of Glory]? Perhaps this netizen has other identities. ??Xia En has seen many cases on earth where netizens rushed to the scene and ended up being deceived and cheated. Have to guard against it! ?Through these days of chatting, Xia En also found out some information about Nuan Xue. ?For example, Xia En knew that her code name was named after her own ship. ?Furthermore, what Nuanxue does is not the pirate business, but a very new business. According to her own words, it is called... Sea of ??AnnihilationSearch and rescue team! As the name suggests, it is to search and rescue ships in danger in the [Sea of ??Annihilation], or to send distressed crew members stranded at sea or on isolated islands out of the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. At first glance, it sounds very outrageous, and it is very different from the law of the jungle in the Seven Seas. But then I thought about it. Due to the danger of the [Sea of ??Annihilation], the proportion of ships wrecked here is far higher than in other sea areas. There will always be unlucky people who lose their ships and are forced to fall into the sea. Furthermore, for the stronger Mystic Pathfinders, people may not die if the ship is lost. ?Take Sean as an example. After he obtained [Sea Affinity/Control], with his physical strength, he could swim in the sea for three days and three nights without any problem. ??There is no need to say more about a siren like Joey. ?Although ordinary sailors are not so exaggerated, they can more or less persist for a period of time. This is the business opportunity of [Nuanxuehao]! It is well known that when a person is about to die, he is willing to pay any price. The crew of the "Warm Snow" used this to make a contract with them, asking them to spend a sum of money to eliminate the disaster. ?Some secret travelers have no money, but at least they have family, friends, or some money saved on an island, and they can still scrape it together. ??Other secret travelers really dont have money, so lets pay the debt first, work for a few years on the Warm Snow, and then let them go free again. Sounds like they are taking advantage of the situation and trying to make a fortune. ??However, the [Nuanxue] has indeed rescued many sailors in distress over the years, providing a guarantee for the explorers of the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. No matter what, this is much better than directly plundering the pirate ship. And [Nuanxue] also grew stronger little by little in the process. ??Both the funds and the number of crew members are far beyond the initial state. So, Xia Encai said, this is a very new business. It is a completely different way of survival from that of pirates. ?Of course, [Nuanxue] is not only engaged in search and rescue business, but also part-time in a series of businesses such as delivering supplies, giving away people, working as bodyguards, and working as mercenaries. To put it bluntly, its a bit like the House of All Things on the Sea of ??Annihilation. As long as you give money, everything is easy to discuss. Over time, [Nuanxue] has accumulated a pretty good reputation on the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. This is one of the reasons why Xia En decided to meet her. While Xia En was thinking about these things, the outline of the "Nuanxue" had appeared on the sea not far away, and it was quickly approaching in this direction. It didnt take long. Xia En met the captain of the "Warm Snow". To his surprise, the other party turned out to be a charming and mature woman, with fair complexion, good looks, and an proud figure. She looked like a noble lady living in the palace, and she also had a gentle and watery temperament. Looking a little weak, it is easy for men to feel protective. ?Just looking at her appearance, it is difficult to imagine that she is a captain who wanders around the sea. You must be Captain Shane. ??The woman came to the deck of the [Black Swan] with several crew members, took the initiative to extend her hand and said: "I am the captain of the [Nuanxue], Jiya." You can call me Mrs. Ji Ya, nice to meet you. Ji Yas actions were generous and graceful, so Xia En certainly didnt show any timidity and shook hands with her. Hello, Mrs. Ji Ya. At the same time, Xia En''s vigilance against this woman became even more heightened. He noticed that the sailors on the "Nuanxue" were extremely respectful towards Jia and did not dare to show any strange emotions in their eyes. This means that Jiya has absolute control over the entire ship. A woman, especially a beautiful woman, often has to work harder than a man if she wants to do this. It is also enough to prove that her methods are extraordinary. ??If anyone really treats this woman as a weak vase that can be bullied, I''m afraid he will be eaten to the point where no bones are left! ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En continued: "I came to the [Sea of ??Annihilation] to investigate the [City of Giant Wood] on the order of Lord [Black Light]." Please Madam Jiya, please take us to the sea area where [City of Giant Woods] is located as soon as possible. ?Although he has decided to become an "offline base", Xia En does not intend to use the identity of [Black Light] to contact Jiya. On the one hand, [Black Light] received the oracle from the Lord of Radiance. ??If someone discovers that his true identity is actually just a fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder, his status in the [Land of Glory] will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. ??It is not conducive for Xia En to continue to fan the flames. On the other hand, it is to prevent [Nuanxuehao] from taking advantage of others. ?Hence, Xia En put on the vest of "[Black Light]''s subordinates" on himself. As a senior member of the Hui Sect who is secretive, it is normal to have so many younger brothers, right? About this point, Xia En had mentioned it to Jiya before in [The Land of Glory]. So at this time, Jiya did not have the slightest doubt and said with a smile: "Okay." Captain Shane, please follow our ship. If nothing else happens, we will arrive at our destination in about three hours. After saying that, Jiya turned her head and gave orders to the crew of the "Nuanxue". The [Nuanxue] chose a direction and moved forward steadily. ?This series of actions was smooth and smooth, which made Xia En quite satisfied. How else could [Nuanxue] be able to flourish in [Sea of ??Annihilation]! ?With this business ability, I can stay away from the pirates who only know how to rob. ?While taking advantage of the time on the road. ??Ji Ya''s eyes swept across the deck of the [Black Swan], and a flash of astonishment flashed deep in her beautiful eyes. There is no other reason. The crew on this ship is really too small! ?On the surface, there are actually less than ten crew members. Given the size of this ship, it was too little. ??But what surprised Jia even more was that she could not see through any of the crew members who appeared on the deck.? ? ? ? A knight wearing a closed armor. He is obviously not very strong, but it makes people feel a little uneasy for no reason. A girl with short hair dressed in men''s clothing seemed to have extremely noble blood. In front of "her", her blood became restless for no reason. A mage with white hair and red eyes actually carries the aura of a god? ??The thing that Jiya couldn''t see through the most was actually the good-looking Captain Xia En. ?Staying on this ship, you have the feeling of being on the opponent''s home court. Under that seemingly thin body, there seems to be a power that cannot be underestimated. ??Moreover, the other party, the other crew members, and even the ship seemed to form a whole. Even if Jiya is a fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder, she would never want to start a war with them here. ?However, their relationship was originally that of friends rather than enemies. Jiya''s thoughts only flashed through her mind before she spoke. "If I read correctly, Captain Shane''s rank should only be at level four?" ?Shaan nodded frankly: "That''s right." After reaching a certain level, the rank of the Secret Pather cannot be hidden if one wants to. Because there are obvious differences between each level. ? And higher-level secret path practitioners can also easily judge the rank of others based on past experience. They were all wearing vests anyway, and Xia En didnt mind revealing this to Jiya. Ji Ya thought for a moment and said seriously: "Captain Xia En, please forgive me." The underwater ruins of [City of Giant Wood] are very dangerous, and the strength of the fourth level may be a bit low. Jiyas words were actually out of good intentions. Having been in the [Sea of ??Annihilation] for so long, she has already seen many stories of people who overestimated their own strength, forced exploration of ruins, and ended up with ships being destroyed and people dying without a burial place. ?Although Xia En may not listen to her words, she still needs to persuade her. ?Xia En naturally heard Jia Yas kindness. Normally speaking, a fourth-level mystic would definitely take huge risks by going to the [City of Giant Woods]. If you are not careful, you will die on the spot. But the problem is He is in trouble! Deep Sea DivingThis talent is the foundation for Xia En to grow from weak to strong step by step. Facing the unknown environment of [City of Giant Trees], Xia En certainly would not be stupid and directly use the main body to explore the sea. The correct and safe method is to use [Projection Body] to explore the path first. Even if the current level 4 strength is not enough, it doesnt matter. ?Shaan can definitely explore the ruins and improve his strength at the same time! The promotion method of the fourth-level profession [Deep Sea Devourer] is to continuously devour the creatures in the deep sea. In fact, Xia En has not been idle these days. He uses [Deep Sea Diving] to dive into deeper waters every day. Coupled with the breakthroughs of Xian Ge and Joey, his strength has been greatly improved. Comprehensive quality: 5.55.8! Career fit: 7%! ?However, Jiya didn''t know about this, so she had such a reminder. At this time, looking at Xia En''s expression, Jiya knew that he probably had no intention of giving up, so she persuaded him. I know that this is probably a task entrusted to you by senior [Black Light], and you must not give up easily. How about this? You hire our [Nuanxue] salvager to go to sea with you. As for the employment fee...Ill give you a discount, 30% off, what do you think? ?Xia Ens mouth twitched slightly. Well, the business has come to me! Now he really understands why [Nuanxue] can do such good business. ?This Mrs. Ji Ya is simply a business genius! ?However, it was impossible for Xia En to expose the existence of [Deep Sea Diving], nor to spend the money wasted. He said decisively: "I appreciate Mrs. Jiya''s kindness." But we really dont need [Nuanxue] to help us explore the ruins. Hearing this, Mrs. Ji Ya had no reaction. ??A young girl next to her couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows: "You are really ignorant. Don''t you understand what my sister means?" With your level four strength alone, exploring the [City of Giant Trees] is going to end in death! Bring our people with you, maybe you can complete your mission... Lucy! Jiya frowned and interrupted the girl with a stern tone. Immediately, she glanced at Sean apologetically: "I''m sorry, Captain Sean." I neglected my sister and made you laugh. "elder sister!" Lucy screamed in grievance. She didn''t think she had made any mistake, but looking at her sister''s serious expression, she didn''t dare to continue. Holly, take Lucy back first. Jiya gave instructions to a crew member behind her, and then looked at Xia En again: "Of course it''s best if Captain Xia En has confidence." But the situation in [City of Giant Woods] is indeed complicated. "If you don''t mind, please let me explain something to you. This should be considered as apology for my sister''s rude behavior." followed by. Ji Ya briefly told Xia En about the current situation of [City of Giant Trees]. The ruins under the sea are just like its name, with many huge trees growing there. Although it seems counterintuitive that trees can grow in seawater, in a world of extraordinary power, this is not an unusual situation. ?In the [City of Giant Trees], in addition to the sea beasts infected by the mysterious power, there are also a group of tree people residents. ?Those tree figures seem to have some special power, thus gaining the ability to live in sea water. The source of that power is the gods they believe in Giant Wood God! It is said that it is a **** born from the giant tree forest. Only by offering sacrifices to him can the tree people survive in the sea water. The sacrifices are other living creatures. Fish, sea animals, and even humans on the sea are all their targets. Over the years, the scope of [City of Giant Woods] has not shrunk, but has continued to expand. And all areas encompassed by this city, without exception, have become restricted areas for life! Ji Ya said seriously: "So, even we are very afraid of this ruins." If we let it continue to grow, maybe the entire [Sea of ??Annihilation] will become the territory of giant trees, right? At that time, there was real silence. After hearing this, Xia En also showed a serious expression. He did not ask Mrs. Jiya why she did not solve this hidden danger. Probably...its not that I dont want to, but that I cant. The power of just one or two ships is still too small for a city. (End of this chapter) Chapter 235 The first dive of [City of Giant Trees] Chapter 235: The First Dive into the City of Giant Trees After this. ?Xia En raised several questions related to the [City of Giant Trees] and [Sea of ??Annihilation]. Ji Ya always told the truth. If there was something she didn''t know about, she wouldn''t pretend to understand. Instead, she would try her best to tell her speculations as pertinently as possible. ?That gentle attitude makes people feel like a spring breeze. I have to say that [Nuanxue] is worthy of being an organization similar to the House of Everything on the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. ?This conversation alone gave Xia En a more comprehensive understanding of the [Sea of ??Annihilation]. At this time. The "Nuanxue" leading the way suddenly slowed down, and the sailors on the ship also looked wary. Captain Shane, here we are. Ji Ya said: "Under this sea water is the [City of Giant Trees]." ?Shaan knew the reason why the crew of the [Nuanxue] showed such an attitude. On the way here, Ji Ya explained to him... ?Over the years, the tree people in [City of Giant Trees] have become increasingly crazier in their behavior, and have even begun to attack ships on the sea. They will use thick vines and branches to drag the ship into the sea water, just like what the giant beasts in the deep sea would do. ?Of course, the tree people may not respond so quickly. ??But just sailing in this sea area makes sailors uneasy, worried that they may encounter attacks from the sea at any time. Xia En took the initiative and said, "Mrs. Jiya, just bring her here." Lets deal with the next thing by ourselves. Jiya did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay." "Then we will leave first. Captain Shane, please pay attention to your own safety." Speaking, Jiya took out an orange-red crystal and handed it to him. If you encounter an irresistible danger, crush this crystal and we will come to the rescue as soon as possible. But at that time, there will definitely be a fee~ Obviously, this crystal can have the effect of notifying Ji Ya and asking for help. Think about it, this is also part of the search and rescue business of [Nuanxue]. Xia En put away the crystal and said with a smile: "I hope I won''t need it." Anyway, thank you Mrs. Jiya for your kindness. If you need help in the future, you can always come to me. A fourth-level mystical practitioner said this to a fifth-level mystical practitioner, which seemed a bit arrogant. ?But for some reason, Jia Ya didn''t find it strange, as if... Xia En did have the potential to fulfill his promise? It didnt take long. Jiya returned to the Nuanxue and ordered to leave the area. ?Her adopted sister Lucy couldn''t help but said as she looked at the [Black Swan] getting further and further away behind her. Sister, will you stop trying to persuade them? "With their strength, how can they be enemies with those tree people? Don''t let us take risks to save them." Although Lucy has a bit of a venomous tongue, she is still kind-hearted in nature. Otherwise, why would she persuade Xia En and the others to leave? "This is Captain Shane''s own decision. We outsiders don''t need to meddle in his own business." There are some things you may say that will offend others. "and" Jiya recalled the confidence in Xia En''s demeanor and tone just now, and chuckled: "Maybe they really have the confidence to explore the [City of Giant Woods]!" HumphIm looking forward to it. Lucy was a little unconvinced. She had seen many captains who were arrogant and arrogant, which eventually led to the destruction of the ship and the death of everyone. In her opinion, Xia En is also one of them. Lucy muttered in a low voice: "Perhaps we will receive their distress signal before too long." Although the other crew members of the Nuanxue did not speak, they all had similar thoughts in their hearts. The strength of the fourth level is already considered good in other sea areas. But in the special sea area of ??[Sea of ??Annihilation], it is really not enough to see. Xia En was neither informed nor curious about the thoughts of the crew of the "Warm Snow". He first sailed the boat to a relatively safe location. Subsequently, Xia En came to the captain''s cabin with ease and sat on the large captain''s chair. Will be projected based on the current position of the ship. Start diving? Submarine, start! The familiar feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit him, and chaotic lights and shadows flashed in front of Xia En''s eyes. Different from the usual snorkeling, the surrounding scene became a bit psychedelic. The aroma of Ruoyouruowu spreads in the sea water. ?Everything around you becomes more colorful and delicate, whether it is color, light and shadow, taste or smell, it becomes dazzling. It''s like the underwater world that I''m tired of seeing suddenly turns into a beautiful picture. It is also like being under the influence of a magic potion that can produce hallucinations, seeing the whole world as a more fantastical dream. To put it simply, its like eating a feast of fungi. "This is?" ?Xia En felt a little confused. In his countless previous dives, he had indeed heard and seen some unusual sights. But this was the first time for me to have such a severe and obvious hallucination. Different visions seem to be related to the sea area where [Submarine] is located. Could this be some kind of metaphor? Fortunately, this general situation of "seeing a villain" did not last long. ?In just two breaths, Xia En''s vision returned to normal, and he was able to see the whole of [City of Giant Woods] clearly. What comes into view is a green city. It is different from underwater ruins such as [Coral City], [Rusted Waste City] and [Emerald Ancient City]. [City of Giant Trees] Although it is called a "city", there are actually no traces of buildings or streets built by humans. Some are just countless, huge and dense trees. ?Looking down from above, [City of Giant Trees] looks like an endless underwater forest. ?Those mutated branches, leaves and vines have a soft texture like seaweed, swaying gently in the sea water. Like blood vessels and veins, they connect all the trees together into a huge green network. In the center of the entire city, there is a giant tree. ?That is a huge tree that is so huge that it is indescribable, and its boundaries can no longer be seen, just like a huge mountain range! ?This giant tree is like the heart and core of the entire [City of Giant Trees]. ?Other trees seem to be branches branched out from it, slowly but surely spreading and expanding further away. Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little lost. ??Although he had heard about the magnificence of this city from Ji Ya, he still couldn''t help but be amazed after seeing it with his own eyes. Unless you see it with your own eyes, it is hard for people to believe that there is such a city made of forest under the sea. At the same time, Xia En became even more convinced that the [City of Giant Woods] was related to the elves. Honestly. ?Compared to the [Emerald Holy City], the current [City of Giant Trees] is more in line with Xia Ens imagination of the city where the elves live. In this case, there should also be an Elven Temple in this city. ?Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly and he looked at the giant tree in the center of the city. Normally speaking, special buildings like [Elven Temple] are often placed in the core area. Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, swayed, and dived downwards. ?After being promoted to the fourth level and receiving the talent of [Deep Sea Body], his traveling speed in sea water increased a lot again. Due to the existence of tree people, Xia En did not go straight to the giant tree stupidly. Instead, I chose an area that was neither too remote nor too central to dive. After getting closer to the woods, Xia En felt the magic of this city even more. Everywhere you look, there are towering trees that you have never seen before. The huge tree crowns with lush branches are crisscrossed in the sea water, and the turquoise leaves are fresh and tender. Below, you can also see many tall and short trees and vibrant vines. The fresh and active breath of life spreads in the sea water. ??If you see this scene on any island, it is not too novel. But you must know that this is under the sea! At this depth of sea water, the water pressure alone is not something that ordinary vegetation can withstand. Not to mention, the immersion in sea water, the lack of sunlight, and the salt content of the soil are all environmental factors that are fatal to trees. ?Shaan really couldnt figure out how this forest could survive in the sea. ??Xia En swam to one of the big trees and gently picked off a leaf with his hands. The texture of the leaves is different from the leaves on the island, as if they have become softer and smoother. To touch, it feels a bit like slippery seaweed. The physiological structure of these trees has probably undergone changes. Xia En speculated: "But why are its leaves still green?" ?Based on his superficial biological knowledge, in dim light environments, the chlorophyll in vegetation will gradually decrease and appear dark green or dark black in color. This is also the color of seaweed. At this depth, very little sunlight can penetrate to the bottom of the sea. Theoretically, it should not be enough for plants to carry out photosynthesis. There was a moment of doubt in Xia En''s mind. He was in a trance for no reason. The green leaves suddenly turned dark and dry. But in the next moment. The leaves turned green and fresh again. "Um?" Xia En frowned slightly: "What''s going on?" ?An indescribable strange feeling lingers in my heart, but I can''t figure out the source of this strange feeling. Shortly afterwards, Xia En touched the branches and trunk of the big tree. ?The feel is still greasy, which makes people feel some instinctive discomfort. But other than that, it doesnt seem to be much different from ordinary trees. ?That vigorous vitality proves that it is still surviving tenaciously and vividly. Is this the miracle of life? Xia En murmured in his mind: "In order to survive, these trees have evolved the ability to survive underwater?" Strictly speaking. The transformation from human beings to sea people is such a miracle of life. Its just that it was the result of some kind of forbidden experiment. Behind the scenes are countless **** failure cases. Its really hard for Xia En to believe that these trees evolved into what they are today on their own. Soon, Xia En discovered another anomaly ?This underwater forest is a little too quiet! In a normal forest, there will be a very rich ecosystem, from birds and insects to small rodents and giant predators... Different organisms play different roles and together constitute the forest ecosystem. Underwater, even a city like [Coral City] with coral monsters will have its own ecological circle. But at this time. In this [City of Giant Woods], there was deathly silence all around. Except for the swaying branches and leaves, Xia En couldn''t see any movement. Nothing. Small fish, shrimps, crabs, cat''s eye snails... not even coral polyps. ??Xia En felt a sudden chill in his heart. ??In such a forest full of vitality, there is not even a single living thing? This is obviously not common sense. ?Xia En could not help but think of the custom of tree people offering sacrifices to the [Giant Wood God] as mentioned by Jiya. He originally thought that the target of the tree people was the slightly larger sea creatures. But now it seems that they include all living creatures in the category of sacrifice. Life restricted zone ??Xia En murmured: "This is the real restricted area of ??life!" But why does [Giant Wood God] do this? It is simply unrealistic to say that these creatures have taken over the living space of the forest. In the natural environment, the relationship between animals and plants is complementary to each other. But the [Giant Wood God] wants to create a space where only trees exist, allowing the trees to expand and proliferate infinitely, and sweep away all other creatures within the range. It feels like... Virus? Thats right, its a virus! An extremely xenophobic virus that constantly pollutes the ocean! As for this strong breath of life, it is just a seemingly beautiful outer skin. Because of some understanding of the gods, Xia En couldn''t help but think of a deeper level. Since this city is related to elves, is there any connection between [Giant Wood God] and [Elf Goddess]? Or is it that the [Giant Wood God] is one of the incarnations of the will of the [Elf Goddess]? Different incarnations of a **** will have different names. ?For example, in the Hui religion, some people call the Lord of Hui the [Holy Sun God], while others call him the [Infinite Star God]. Regarding the current situation of [City of Giant Trees], it was difficult for Xia En not to associate it with gods. ??Rumble ?At this moment, a violent vibration came from below. Xia En looked intently. ??In the forest, a big tree suddenly stood up from the ground, its roots and branches fluttering in the sea water, and it rumbled towards Xia En. A pair of dark green eye sockets appeared above the tree trunk. At the lower part, a big mouth was opened. ?It roared in a hoarse voice. For the gift of the giant wood god! Outsiders, become part of something greater! Treant! ?This figure that suddenly rose up was a tree man. Thinking about it, it was Xia En''s wandering around just now that attracted its attention. ??This is the first time for Xia En to see this strange race. From the appearance, it barely has the outline of a human being, with many branches twisted to form arms, and the roots turning into legs. ?Combined with that tall body, charging forward like this does have a lot of pressure. ?However, Xia En, who has experienced many battles, is not easy to mess with. ?He did not dodge or evade, but rushed towards the tree man in front of him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 236 The malice of the forest Chapter 236 The Malice of the Forest ˡ The moment Xia En and the tree man collided, there was a sudden muffled sound in the sea water. The undercurrent is centered on the collision point between the two parties and suddenly expands in all directions. The nearby trees were affected by the current, swaying this way and that, their branches and leaves swaying, as if a small storm was set off under the water. When the overall quality reached 5.8, Xia En''s strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ferocious beast in human form. ?Especially in the state of [Projection Body], he can exert his full strength without worrying about any injuries. ?However, what surprised Xia En was that the power of the tree man in front of him was actually quite good. I stood in front of him for about three seconds before falling backwards. ?The pair of arms made of branches continued to shatter under the huge force, and even the trunks had cracks. This is not an exaggeration by Shane. At similar levels, anyone who can wrestle with him head-on for a moment can already be regarded as having natural divine power. You...how is that possible? At this time, the tree man''s mood could only be described as horrified. You must know that the tree people, as one of the companion races of the elves, have always been known for their strength and defense, like a walking fortress. In those ancient times, tree men were used as natural siege machines. However, he couldn''t hold on for even three seconds in front of this vague figure? ?Horse to horror, but after receiving the [Seed of Life] given by the [Giant Wood God], the tree man decided to dedicate everything he had to that great god. Even if It is its life! Outsiders who invade the kingdom of God, go to hell! ??The tree man roared angrily, and his injured body exploded. ?Those vines and branches formed an overwhelming net, entangling Xia En from all directions like tentacles. ?The "tentacles" of this branch are unusually powerful, and the barbs on the vines are trying to penetrate Xia En''s body and draw blood. ??If the average person falls into this big net, it is very likely that they will be directly sucked into having sex! As a [projection body], Xia En can ignore the attacks of vines. ?But the entanglement of those tentacles still startled him slightly, and it took some effort to break free. at the same time. A few lines of text flashed on the panel. Kill the alienated tree man! Obtain trophies: Fragments of alienated tree man Quality: inferior Type: Material int End to the end] The tree man who was infected by the secret power of ~~ has undergone changes in his body, mind and way of living. They are willing to sacrifice everything for their gods. Please note that this race is a social creature. "Um?" ?Xia En frowned slightly. In the description, the prefix about "secret power" becomes vague and difficult to distinguish. Why does this happen? ?Xia En not only recalled the chaotic illusions that flashed before his eyes during the previous [submersible], but also vaguely felt that there might be some connection between the two. The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" in the corpse has been detected. Do you want to absorb it? These tree people also have [Secret Sea Crystals]? ?Xia En was overjoyed and decisively chose to absorb it. Ship Soul Experience +1%! (Black Swan)] Ship Soul Experience +2%! (Diamond Star)] ?During this period of time, when Xia En was submersing in long distances, he certainly did not forget to brush up the ship soul experience of the two ships. However, after the ship soul level reaches LV5, it is quite difficult to increase every point of experience. So much so that the ship spirit level of [Black Swan] is stuck at LV5 and cannot be upgraded yet. On the other hand, [Diamond Star] successfully passed the LV4 threshold. At this time, the experience progress of the two ships are as follows. Black Swan: LV5 (53%)! Diamond Star: LV4 (8%)! ?The familiar coolness flowed into his body. Before Xia En could feel it carefully, he suddenly noticed some rustling noises coming from the sea water around him. ?Xia En looked at it carefully, and his scalp suddenly felt numb. Not far away, I saw that the forest on the seabed was already agitated. One giant tree after another pulled out its roots from the soil below and swam menacingly in the direction of Xia En. ?Each tree man is extremely tall, and when they move together, they have the aura of a mountain collapsing and the earth shattering. ?At this moment, Xia En understood why there was a reminder in the description that they were social creatures. It took Xia En a lot of effort to kill the tree man just now. At this moment, if you are surrounded by this group of tree people... ??Although Xia En may not die, he will at least be held back. There are countless tree people in the whole sea of ??trees. Killing one will only attract more. ??If they continue to fight, Xia En''s ship soul power will be exhausted sooner or later. ?Thinking of this, Xia En swam directly in the other direction without hesitation. Compared to the tree man, he is obviously much smaller in size. He hides in the dense forest and is difficult to find. Thats how it should be. ?But soon, Xia En realized that no matter how he hid, ??The furious tree people can always quickly discover his location and swarm him. Boom! Xia En knocked back one of the tree men with one punch, and at the same time, he used the recoil to retreat backwards. Strange, how did they find me? ?Xia En glanced at the forest with his peripheral vision, and suddenly noticed a hint of malice and a feeling of being spied on. Wait...its the forest itself!? Xia En suddenly came to his senses. ??As residents of this underwater forest, the tree people are inextricably linked to the forest. In other words, they are part of the forest! In the mouths of the tree people, this forest is even called the "Kingdom of God." "Perhaps...this forest has its own will. The feeling of being spied on just now was that it was watching me." In other words, as long as I am in the forest, the tree people can always lock my position. Xia En couldn''t help but frown. What he has to fight now is not just one or two tree men, but the malice of the entire forest! ?Shaan looked around and saw more and more tree people waking up from their dormant state and surrounding him. ??The previously peaceful and peaceful woods suddenly became filled with murderous intent. ?However, Xia En has faced countless dangers, so naturally he will not be panicked by this kind of momentum. The worst case scenario is to turn around and fight these trees! ?Earning some ship soul experience is also a good choice. You may make a profit, but I will never lose! ?Of course, as this is his first dive in [City of Giant Woods], Xia En still hopes to collect as much information as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En simply stopped concealing his whereabouts and rushed directly towards the center of [City of Giant Woods]. ??He plans to use the life of [Projection Body] to test the real owner of this city Giant Wood God! ?With Xia En''s current physical fitness, under full acceleration, he simply turned into a black shadow, shuttled through the sea water. His unabashed action undoubtedly immediately attracted the attention of many tree people. He seemed to be aware of Xia En''s intention to approach the giant tree. ?Beside him, the underwater forest quickly became restless, showing him an extremely violent side. ?Countless tree people began to wake up, swinging their bodies like crazy, swimming in the sea water, and floating upward. ??Some of them blocked in front of Xia En, some swam above Xia En, and some stretched out vines below, as if they wanted to keep him in this forest forever. ?Vines, branches, roots... swaying in the sea water, looking soft and smooth. ?This scene reminded Xia En of jellyfish. That''s right, the tree people at this time were like emerald green jellyfish all over the sea, almost completely blocking their sight. ?Behind this dreamy and magnificent scene, there is a deadly murderous intention. At the same time, Xia En also saw some strange existences among the tree people. ?For example, among the tree crowd, there was actually a huge lobster. It is about ten meters long and can move freely. ?Xia En was inevitably surprised. Isnt it said that this forest is a restricted area for life? ??Why is this lobster still alive and well? ?But after taking a closer look, Xia En discovered the clues. ?At the junction of the lobsters carapace, there are many roots and vines growing impressively. In the lobster''s abdomen, the body of a tree man is tightly attached to it, and the two have become one. A chill suddenly rose in Xia En''s heart. He could not tell that the lobster was actually dead. Now it is just a puppet controlled by the tree man. In other words, it is the food that is parasitized by tree people. Just like a hermit crab taking away the shells of other crustaceans, a dove takes over a magpie''s nest. ?These tree people seem to have mastered similar abilities. Xia En glanced around and saw several similar parasitic beasts in the forest. A giant sea turtle covered with moss, a giant crab with branches, and even a whale over thirty meters long! The whale is controlled by not one tree man, but at least ten tree men. They grow everywhere on the whale''s body, penetrating the thick flesh, but keeping it alive and preventing it from rotting. But it is precisely because of this "alive" characteristic that people feel more instinctively uncomfortable. Its like, this is a A blasphemy against life! Is this also one of the abilities bestowed by the [Giant Wood God]? Xia En raised his eyebrows and guessed in his mind. In his opinion, tree people should not have this kind of ability to blaspheme life. ?This is also different from the image that the Elf Goddess has always shown, full of an evil feeling. ??The Elf Goddess was once a righteous god, so how could she have such weird and blasphemous authority? It is more like a power that only evil gods possess. ??Xia En turned his head and looked at the astonishingly huge tree in the center of the city and thought. This [Giant Wood God] is getting more and more evil. Who is he? ?At this point, Xia Ens tentative plan can only be said to be half successful. He did test out another weird ability of the tree people. But the problem was that the densely packed trees in front of him blocked his way to the [Giant Wood God]. Even for Xia En, it is unrealistic to kill so many alienated tree people. Not to mention, there are more tree people coming here nearby. It seems like this dive ends here. ?Shaan sighed and decided to fight to the death and kill a few more treants to earn more experience. But at this moment. An old voice suddenly sounded in Xia En''s ears. Boy, if you dont want to die, just dig into the sand at the bottom of the sea. ?Shaan looked around but could not find the source of the sound. ?Looking at the behavior of the other tree people, they didn''t seem to hear this reminder. Think about it, this is a method similar to "spiritual transmission". ??Although he didnt know who the owner of the voice was and what its purpose was, at the moment, Xia En had no choice. ??Compared to dying under the siege of the tree people and wasting this opportunity to submerge, Shane still wanted to live a little longer. ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, and went straight towards the deepest part of the seabed like an arrow. At the same time, he activated the domain of [Great Dark Sky] and compressed the domain to a very small area around him. This is the inspiration that Xia En got on [Sand Island]. Great Dark Skycan not only be used as an attack field that encompasses enemies, but can also be used as a protective armor. With the help of the field, Xia En successfully isolated the sand outside his body and penetrated deeper. Soon, the old voice sounded again. Follow the direction of the roots in front of you! ??A root appeared not far from Xia En and began to lead him the way. Since everyone had listened to the advice of this voice, Xia En simply believed it and quickly followed the root. At the same time. ??The tree people above also noticed Xia En''s intention to hide, and fell to the bottom of the sea one after another. ?The roots of their feet easily penetrated into the sand and began a sweeping search. Judging from their proficiency, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have encountered this situation. In fact, the marine life hiding in the sand on the seabed has long been swept away by the tree people in this way. ?Xia En followed the direction guided by his roots. About two or three minutes later. ??The old voice said: "Stop! Right here!" Hide your breath and dont move! Shane did as he was told. ?But soon, the roots of other tree people searched all the way, and once they came to a place less than five meters away from Xia En. Xia Endu hesitated for a moment whether to take action or not. But suddenly, several roots blocked the tree peoples search path, as if to indicate This area is its territory. The other roots hesitated for a moment, and finally left silently. ?The silent waiting passed for a long time. ?Xia En clearly felt that the restlessness in the surrounding mud gradually calmed down. This means that the tree people''s search has come to an end. Boy, you can come out now. The old voice reminded: "But don''t leave the area covered by my leaves." Hearing this, Xia En slowly emerged from the ground and looked up. ??The previous scene of "emerald green jellyfish" in the sea has disappeared, and the entire forest has settled down again, returning to its original tranquility. ??Had you not seen it with your own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine that this underwater forest would still show such a crazy aspect. At this time. A tall tree tree was standing in front of Xia En, casting its own shade. (End of this chapter) Chapter 237 taboo topics Chapter 237 Taboo Topics ?Seeing the tree man in front of him, Xia En raised his eyebrows and instinctively showed a defensive posture. But soon, Xia En discovered that the appearance of this tree man was very different from other tree men. Its bark is dry and shriveled, extremely rough, and has a faint reddish color. Like the color of the mangroves that live at the interface between land and sea. The branches and leaves are withered and yellow, unlike other tree people who maintain the green color, and their vitality is extremely declining. Like a rotten, damp, dead tree. It can even be described as "ugly" ??Had it not been for the pair of dim eye sockets and a small mouth on its old trunk, it would have been difficult for Xia En to regard it as the same species as those tree people. ??Although the appearance of this tree man is surprising, Xia En is not a person who judges people by their appearance. He took the initiative and said: "Thank you, senior, for helping me." "Um?" Hearing his voice, the declining tree man was surprised: "This kind of voice...have you ever swallowed [Seed of Sea Sound]?" ??The reason why Xia En can master the ability of [Underwater Conversation] is precisely because he received the [Seed of Sea Sound] given by Tracy in [Emerald Ancient City]. ?At the moment, from the tone of this tree man, it seems that he also recognizes this strange seed? This point undoubtedly further proves the connection between the [City of Giant Trees] and the elves. ?Shaan nodded and admitted: "I did swallow one by chance." It seems that your origin is not simple. ??The old tree man''s eyes flashed with a faint light and he continued. But no matter who you are, if you want to survive, leave [City of Giant Woods] as soon as possible. This is no longer a place where living people should come. Xia En didnt explain too much, he just said: I have a reason to go deep into this city. A flash of surprise flashed in the old tree man''s eyes. ?Having clearly seen the scene where the whole forest was agitated just now, this outsider still has the courage to say such a thing? This cannot be described simply as praiseworthy. ?However, the old tree man used all his strength just to maintain his own survival. ?Saving this man casually was considered a great act of kindness, and I really had no energy left to meddle in his business. Thinking of this, the old tree man said directly: "In this case, I can only wish you good luck." This forest has long been the home of those traitors. As long as you are in it, you will be discovered by them sooner or later. However, the intelligence of the forest is limited after all. If you disguise yourself as us, you can last longer... Do you understand? At first, Xia En thought that the old tree man was just saying goodbye. ?But after listening to these words carefully, he realized that the other party was actually teaching him how to hide in the forest. ?Xia En was in a weird mood. ?This old tree man looks like an awkward old man. He wants to express his goodwill, but he also wants to go around in a circle. ?However, combined with this detail and its help just now, Xia En can basically judge that the old tree man is probably a "good person." ??Whether it is appearance or personality, they are very different from those tree people who are willing to sacrifice other creatures at every turn. and Betrayer? ?Shaan noticed the word spoken by the old tree. Betraitors, do you mean those tree people who believe in the [Giant Wood God]? ??Thoughts flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he quickly outlined the general outline of the matter: "Did the tree people betray their original beliefs? Betrayed the Elf Goddess?" In other words, this old tree man is still a supporter of the Elf Goddess? Just as Xia En was about to ask, he saw not far away, a small tree man about two or three meters high, floating down from the sea like a jellyfish. ?Compared with its relatives, its body shape is naturally petite and exquisite. Grandpa Hunter, Im back! Huh? This guy is... In the process of getting close to the old tree man, the little tree man naturally discovered the existence of Xia En. ?The face made of tree trunks showed a surprised look and exclaimed at the same time. Human! Grandpa Hunter, is this human! Hush! Lower your voice! Hunter, the old tree man, glared at the young tree man and looked around cautiously. Fortunately, there were no tree people who believed in the [Giant Wood God] nearby, so no tragedy occurred. The little tree man also realized that he had almost caused a catastrophe, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "Sorry, sorry, I didn''t mean to do it." This is the first time Ive seen a living human being, so Im a little excited. Let me introduce myself, my name is Mumu, what is your name? ??Xia En carefully looked at the little tree named Mumu and found that although its voice was young, its trunk was as skinny as Hunter''s, the bark was wrinkled, and the leaves were sparse and shriveled. The whole body exuded an air of aging and depletion. This surprised Xia En. He originally thought that Hunter''s decline was due to living for a long time and was about to reach the end of his life. But judging from Mumus similar qualities, it seems to be for another deeper reason? ?At the same time, Xia En also noticed that Mu Mus branches had obvious signs of breakage, as if they had been broken by external force. There were also several wounds on his body that seemed to have been whipped, but they were mixed with the wrinkled bark, making it difficult to distinguish them. Before Xia En could answer, Hunter on the side suddenly changed his expression and asked. Mumu, where did these injuries on your body come from? They bullied you again, right? Hearing this, Mumu''s high mood suddenly dropped, and he hesitated. No, no, my brother and sister are playing around with me. They are no longer your brothers and sisters! Hunter''s expression was solemn, with a hint of anger in his tone: "From the day they knelt down to the [Giant Wood God], they are no longer our kind!" But, Grandpa Hunter, why must we stick to our belief in the goddess of life? Mumu was puzzled and aggrieved, so she couldn''t help but ask. Obviously as long as we accept the [Seed of Life] given by the [Giant Wood God], our bodies will not have to continue to rot, and we can become taller and stronger. Besides, grandpa, you can live longer... "Shut up!" Hearing this, the old tree man Hunter finally couldn''t help but said angrily: "You don''t understand! This is a betrayal of the gods! You will be punished by God one day!" Besides, do you think [Giant Wood God] is a good thing? That guy Hunter wanted to continue talking, but seemed to be concerned about the peaceful forest around him, so he finally just said. "No matter what, as long as I am still alive, I will never allow you to accept the [Seed of Life]!" If you say one more kind word about [Giant Wood God], I will treat you as my grandson! Dont let me see you again in the future! ?Mumu originally wanted to care about Hunter, but instead he was scolded so harshly, and his grievance suddenly burst out. Hmph! If you dont see me, youll see me! Ill go to the head office! After leaving these words, Mumu turned around and left. "you!" Hunter, the old tree man, was stunned. He vaguely felt that he had gone too far, but he had just scolded her, and with his temperament, it was impossible for him to soften his attitude on the spot and persuade Mumu to come back. It wasnt until Mumus figure disappeared from sight that Old Hunter let out a long sigh. "Children these days are becoming more and more troublesome." It turned to Xia En and said, "I''m sorry, I made you laugh." Old man, the relationship between you and your grandson is really good. Xia En sighed softly. Watching the quarrel between Hunter and Mumu, he was inexplicably reminded of some past events on Earth. So, he knew that Hunter would never be able to say such harsh words if he didn''t really take it seriously. Similarly, Mumu also persuaded Hunter to accept the so-called [seed of life] for similar reasons. ?But at the same time, Xia En was inevitably a little curious. What exactly is this so-called "seed of life"? It seems that it is because of its existence that the tree people have the ability to live such a nourishing life underwater. In this case, why is Old Hunter so afraid of it? Ahem, young man, I want to ask you a favor. At this moment, Old Hunter coughed twice and said, "My grandson has a stubborn temper. I don''t know how long it will take for this awkward situation to subside." If those betrayers instill bad ideas and take the opportunity to plant the [Seed of Life], it will be over. "I see that you are quite capable. Can you help me take care of it and give it advice?" The old tree man said this somewhat euphemistically, but Xia En immediately understood its meaning. Obviously, after saying these words, Old Hunter actually regretted it a little, but he just couldn''t bear to apologize to his grandson. That''s why I approached Xia En, not only to protect Mumu, but also to act as a lubricant to ease the relationship between grandfather and grandson. He is indeed an awkward old man... Xia En thought to himself: "I''m afraid your grandson''s character is just like yours!" Complaints are complaints, considering Hunters previous help, Shane will definitely help him. Leave it to me. After saying that, Xia En was ready to catch up in Mumu''s direction. Wait, dont move yet, Ill give you a disguise. Subsequently, Old Hunter picked some branches and leaves from nearby trees and decorated them with Shane. Not long after, Xia En completed a very rough disguise. Looks like How to say A bit like the Viet Cong in the jungle? ??Although from Xia En''s point of view, this disguise couldn''t be more clumsy, anyone can see the difference between him and the tree man. But according to Hunter, this level of camouflage is enough to hide the will of the forest. ??If you encounter other tree people, you can quickly pretend to be a harmless bunch of flowers and plants. ?Xia En suppressed the feeling of weirdness and walked through the underwater forest. Needless to say, after covering it with this layer of leaves, most of the looming malice around it has indeed dissipated. Dont worry about whether its ugly or not! Just tell me if its useful? It didnt take long. Xia En caught up with the little tree man Mumu. In fact, at the speed of this little tree man, he can''t run very long. At this time, it was leaning against a big tree, kicking the sand under its feet and humming. Hmph, stinky grandpa, bad grandpa! Its clear that I cant hold on for much longer, yet I still refuse to use the [seed of life]. No matter what the side effects are, its better than death, right? As he spoke, Mumus tone suddenly became lower. I just want grandpa to live... At this time, Xia En came out of the woods and asked directly. What exactly is the [seed of life] in your mouth? Wow! ?Mumu, who had obviously not noticed Xia En''s disguise before, couldn''t help being startled and said in surprise. You...are you the human just now? How did you become like this? ?Xia Ens mouth twitched, not wanting to answer this question. Mumu seemed to be very interested in human beings and immediately came up to touch him. ?This feeling is somewhat similar to how people feel when they go to an aquarium to see those rare animals. After getting closer, Xia En could see Mu Mu''s rough and decaying body and the scars more clearly. That seems to be the mark left by the whipping of vines. ?Shaan immediately thought of other ways for the tree people to attack. Obviously, those who harmed Mumu are the tree people who accepted the "Seed of Life". ?Shaan couldn''t help but ask: "Why do those tree people beat you?" Alas, isnt it because grandpa and I refuse to absorb the [seed of life]? Mumu sighed and said, "Do you know why I swam down from above?" Xia En cooperated: "Why?" Because those of us who dont have [Seeds of Life], if we want to live in the sea, we must regularly go to the waters near the sea to absorb sunlight and store energy. Mumu explained: "It was in the process of absorbing sunlight that I met a tree man who believed in the [Giant Wood God]..." Anyway, its just a mockery of us being old-fashioned and not knowing how to adapt. But one of the guys spoke really unpleasantly and even scolded Grandpa Hunter. I couldnt help but say something back to him, and that was it. ?Mumu looked a little sad and confused. Sometimes I really dont understand. Its obvious that those guys just received the [Seed of Life] not long ago. "How come you can turn around and say such vicious things?" ?Shaan said: "Probably all traitors are like this." So, [Seed of Life] can solve the problem of your tree people living in the sea? "But aren''t you and Hunter still alive? Is it because of... the power of the Elf Goddess?" ifier Hearing the name "Elf Goddess", Mumu''s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly covered Xia En''s mouth with his hand. Are you crazy! How dare you say that name here? He has become a taboo topic in our city. Once discovered by other tree people, they will be taken away directly by the executioner! ?Xia En was suddenly surprised. He didnt expect that a single name could cause Mumu to have such a big reaction. But it can also be seen from this that there is strict control over belief in [City of Giant Trees]. ??Treants who still believe in the Elf Goddess will most likely be regarded as heretics! This also shows from the side that the relationship between the [Giant Wood God] and the Elf Goddess is by no means harmonious. At this time. The sound of rustling came from the forest nearby... (End of this chapter) Chapter 238 Cant go back anymore Chapter 238 I cant go back Upon noticing the sound behind him, Mumu couldn''t help but his expression changed slightly, and he whispered. Hey, hurry up and hide! If they find you, youll be doomed! To be honest, if there were only a few tree people left alone, Xia En really had nothing to be afraid of. With his current strength, he can completely destroy them in a very short period of time. ??But Xia En is worried that killing the tree people will once again attract the attention of the entire forest, triggering the "giant tree craze" just now. At least for now, Xia En does not have the strength to defeat a city with one person. ?Hence, Xia En decisively found a place with dense vegetation and hid nearby. Mumu took root not far from him, protecting Xia En behind him. At this moment, several tree men walked out of the woods. The leader of the tree family obviously knew Mumu and said, "Mumu, who were you talking to just now?" "Haha... are you chatting with your ''imaginary friends'' again?" ?This tree man is much taller than Mumu, more than five meters tall, with lush branches and leaves. According to the standards of tree people, it can be described as "strong". ?With its full of vitality, you can tell that you have converted to the [Giant Wood God] at a glance. Nilge, what do I say or do have anything to do with you? ?Seeing these tree men, Mumu was not timid, but pushed them back unceremoniously. According to its experience, in this case, the more timid and fearful you are, the easier it is to be bullied. ?Behave a little more fiercely, even if you are a little fierce at heart, then you can possibly frighten these bullies. ?However, the tree man named "Nigel" was not so easily frightened, it smiled lightly. Mumu, what you said is wrong. We are all old friends, isnt it normal to care about your friends? It''s a good thing Nigel didn''t mention this matter. As soon as he mentioned the word "friend", Mumu''s eyes glowed with angry green light. Hey, friend! Then who told me before that I would never accept the [Seed of Life]? But then I turned around and became a believer in the [Giant Wood God]? You have completely forgotten what happened in the past, right? Hearing this question, Nigels tree face didnt look good either. ?After all, it was nostalgic for the old relationship, and what happened back then was indeed that it betrayed the friendship between the two of them, and it was speechless for a moment. ?However, the other tree men next to Nigel were not so good-tempered. ?One of the tree men sneered: "Nigel, what do you have to say to these old-fashioned people who are doomed to decay?" Anyway, in a few years, they themselves will be completely destroyed. By then, it will be too late for them to regret not being able to fall into the arms of the [Giant Wood God]! Another tree man echoed: "That''s right." Brother Nigel has good intentions and wants to lead this guy to become a part of a greater existence. Its okay if it doesnt appreciate it, and in turn blames Brother Nigel. In the bushes on the side, Xia En secretly observed the communication between Mumu and these tree people, and inexplicably thought of the bullying incident on the earth. ??If you ignore the race of Mumu and others as tree people, they are actually just a group of young boys and girls. At this time, deep down in his heart, Nigel actually did not feel that he had done anything wrong. On one side are the decaying conservatives, and on the other side are the new and growing reformists. Isnt it clear at a glance which side to choose? It has witnessed with its own eyes the increasing decay and eventual death of its elders who were unwilling to accept the "Seed of Life". That''s why I changed my original idea and accepted the "Seed of Life" given by the "Giant Wood God". To be fair, Nigel didnt want Mumu to embark on this old path that was destined to perish, and he kept trying to pull it onto the right path. In its view, it was really saving this former friend. So, Nigel advised again: "Mumu, listen to my advice." The old school is finished. The power of the old **** is constantly weakening. This is the reason why you are becoming more and more decadent. Would this have happened hundreds of years ago? Hearing this, Mumu was stunned. It knows that the old guard is declining and is being replaced by the growing power of the [Giant Wood God], but it does not know the reason behind this. This may be the reason why many tree people have changed their minds recently. Xia En in the bushes was also moved. ??The "old gods" Nigel refers to undoubtedly refer to the elven goddesses. In other words, the power of the Elf Goddess is weakening? What role does [Giant Wood God] play in it? ??While Shane was thinking secretly, Nigel continued. Not only that, in a while, it is said that the executioners will carry out a major cleansing of the [City of Giant Woods]. If you dont throw yourself into the arms of the [Giant Wood God], it will be too late! Hearing this, Mumu finally showed an expression of disbelief and murmured. The ExecutionerThe Great Purge No, thats impossible! "Uncle Farner is an elder among executioners. If there is such an action, he will definitely tell us as soon as possible." At present, although the conservative faction that insists on loyalty to the Elf Goddess is declining, they are still an old force that has been passed down from ancient times. The rotten ship still has three kilograms of nails! Therefore, there are still some respected old tree people who are unwilling to betray their beliefs. Most of their strength is constantly weakening due to the erosion of sea water, but their past identity and status are here. Some are even elders in the tree community. Still has a high prestige among some tree people. Old Hunter, as well as Uncle Farner as Mumukou calls him, belong to this kind of remnants of the old era. Hearing this name, Nigel couldn''t help but look at Mumu with pity. Dont you understand yet? The elder Fana whom you trust has also become one of us. ?Mumu heard a "buzz" in his mind, and the time went blank for an instant. ???If we talk about the betrayal of my friend Nigel, it is still within the acceptable range. ?Then Elder Fana''s defection was something that he simply couldn''t believe. In the heart of this little tree man, Fauna''s status is almost the same as that of old Hunter. They are both elders who have watched him grow up with his own eyes. ?The other party also said personally that he would be incompatible with the followers of the [Giant Wood God]. ?Those beautiful past events and precious memories are still vivid in my mind. Why now Brother, you... ?Besides, several tree men followers couldn''t help but look at Nigel with surprised eyes. ?Information like this is quite secret among them. The elders have ordered that the secret must be strictly kept. Theoretically, it is impossible to tell these conservatives. ??Nigel waved his hand: "I have my own arrangements." Mumu shook his head, getting rid of the ridiculous possibility from his mind, and asked: "It''s impossible... you must have lied to me!" This is fake, right? There was even a hint of pleading in its tone. Looking at Mumu at this time, Nigel had a flash of sympathy in his eyes, but he still said. "I wouldn''t lie to you about this kind of thing." "Actually, this time we..." ?At this moment, a voice sounded from behind Nigel. Thats enough. Let me explain the next thing to it. Immediately, a slender-looking tree man walked out of the crowd. ?Its branches are much thinner than those of ordinary trees, and its leaves are light red and exquisite, giving people a pleasing feeling. Putting it among tree people, it may be a rare beauty. Even its sound is very clear and pleasant. Seeing this beautiful tree man, Mumu''s voice trembled a little. Seeing the other party''s appearance at this time, it understood everything. The reason is simple. ?This Gelisi is the granddaughter of Elder Fana. Treants are of course genderless, but they also have different self-perceptions and preferences, and they have something in common with steam armor. Gelisi is one of the rare tree people among tree people who identifies as a woman. Strictly speaking. ?Ge Lisi should be regarded as Mu Mus childhood sweetheart. After all, the two are close in age, both are conservatives, and they have close elders. As we get along for a long time, we naturally become childhood sweethearts. ?Just in the past few months, the number of times Mumu saw Gelisi has been greatly reduced. Sometimes she would even see Gelisi moving hurriedly in the sea, as if she was hiding from herself. Mumu originally thought that he had done something wrong and made Ge Lisi unhappy. But now, it has understood everything. ?The vivid appearance of Gelisi''s rebirth is the state that can only appear after accepting the "Seed of Life". Even Gelisi used [Seed of Life], and Uncle Farners attitude was already obvious. It turns out...you have all already... ?Mumu smiled bitterly, feeling as if there was nothing more sorrow than death. ??The feeling of being betrayed by a friend once was already very uncomfortable, and now, I also encountered betrayal by my elders and childhood sweethearts one after another. This feeling can only be experienced by yourself. "sorry." Gelisi sighed softly: "But, I can''t go back." As a bystander, Xia En looked strange. Holy shit, are there cows? ??He thought it was just a simple bullying incident, but he didn''t expect that it would involve so much love and hatred. Putting aside Mumus tragic experience in this incident, Xia En still had a lot of fun watching it, it was simply a good show. At this time, Ge Lisi continued. Actually, after I accepted the [Seed of Life], I not only got rid of my original decayed body, but I was also honored to be chosen as a saint of our Lord. Be able to give the [Seed of Life] to the residents of [City of Giant Trees] on His behalf Hearing this, Mumu suddenly realized something was wrong and said vigilantly. Wait, Gelisi, what do you want to do? ??Nigel took a step forward, and together with the other tree men, vaguely blocked Mumu''s retreat, and said at the same time. Do you think, knowing so many secrets, you can still leave like this as if nothing happened? Mumu suddenly became panicked. ?It belatedly realized its dangerous situation and threatened it. If I die, Grandpa Hunter will never let you go! ??Nigel shook his head: "You are wrong again." How could we kill you? I have always treated you as a brother, a beloved relative and a friend. ?Gelisi took a step forward, walked towards the withered tree man who was constantly retreating, and said softly. Dont be afraid. Although it hurts a little at first, you will get used to it soon. After that, you will become one of us, part of something greater. The other tree men whispered together. become part of something greater. They all have a fanatical and twisted expression on their faces. ?That kind of expression makes them look extremely strange, as if some mysterious and evil will has descended on them and replaced their original souls. Mumu couldn''t help but feel panic and panic. ?It doesnt understand why Nigel and Gelis, who have been together for several years, have become so strange. ?Mumu instinctively realized that the existence called [Seed of Life] was definitely not a good thing! But now, it has to accept the [Seed of Life] under the pressure of its former friends. What an ironic and ridiculous thing this is! As Gelisi got closer, a green seed gradually appeared on its arms made of branches. It is said to be a seed, but it is about the size of a basketball, and it is still beating. It feels more like a living heart, which is constantly activated under the stimulation of Song Lisi. ?The extremely strong breath of life escapes from the [Seed of Life], making the tree people look intoxicated and enjoying themselves. Looks completely harmless. Even gave Mumu a strong attraction. ?It was like there was a voice in the dark, urging it to accept the seed. But the more this happened, the more Mumu became afraid of the "seeds of life". If this seed enters my body, I will definitely become another strange me just like Gelisi and them! In this situation, the only one who can save him seems to be that strange human being of unknown origin. But Mumu held on and did not ask for help. ?In his understanding, human beings have always been weak, so how could they be their opponents when they were in their prime? Please, please dont come out at the same time. Xia En was silently observing the strange seed. This is the [seed of life]? He and Mumu had similar feelings. They both felt that although the seed was exuding strong vitality, it also had a disgusting aura. ?Suddenly, in a trance, some chaotic ghosts broke into Xia En''s field of vision. The [Seed of Life] in his eyes no longer looked like a seed, but quickly turned into an extremely ugly tumor! ?Many tiny tentacles poked out from the sarcoma, groping around, as if they were trying to take root in Mu Mu''s body like roots. The flesh and blood is squirming, shrinking, and talking in sleep... One eyeball after another opens from the surface of the sarcoma, and there are countless compound eyes in each eyeball. At the same time that Shane saw these eyeballs. The eyeballs also saw Xia En. The next moment. ?All the eyes on the sarcoid suddenly burst open, and hundreds of tentacles let out a harsh and painful scream... (End of this chapter) Chapter 239 【Seed of Corruption】 Chapter 239 [Seed of Corruption] ??Screaming together with this ugly and deformed tumor was Ge Lisi who was about to give Mu Mu the [Seed of Life]. As the "Saint" chosen by the [Giant Wood God], there is a special connection between Gelisi and [The Seed of Life]. At this time, the fear and pain felt by [Seed of Life] were also transmitted to it simultaneously. ?Hearing the scream of Gelith, Nigel and the other tree people couldn''t help but were stunned, not knowing what was happening. Mumu took advantage of this opportunity and ran away without hesitation. ??Nigel naturally couldn''t let it escape like this, he roared angrily. Get it! Several tree men immediately surrounded him from all directions. They have been blessed by the [Seed of Life], and their vitality is extremely strong. Whether it is speed or strength, it is far above the withered and weakened wood. We must seize it as soon as we see it. Mumus eyes couldnt help but reveal despair. But at this moment. The deep darkness suddenly expanded in the sea water. The dark shadows spread and intertwined in this underwater forest, as if they were expanding infinitely like a web. ??And among the intertwined shadows, countless stars and bits of light emerge. Made this place look like the deep sea tens of thousands of meters below, or the night sky full of stars. Beautiful, cold, and dangerous. "What''s this" ?Nigel looked around blankly, feeling shocked in his heart. In this seemingly beautiful scene, it felt a fatal murderous intention. As if if he acted rashly, he would lose his life at any time. Dont move! Dont even move! Nigel warned his companions: "Stop where you are and don''t move!" ?Even Nigel, the strongest among the tree men, is like this, not to mention the other tree men. Facing this starry sea, they felt an unprecedented fear. If I must say...it is the fear of the stars, the universe, and their own insignificance. Ah! [Seed of Life] Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the darkness. ?It is the voice of Gelisi. ?The tree people couldn''t help but become more panicked, but because of Nigel''s warning, no one dared to act without authorization. Fortunately, the mysterious and deep darkness around us did not last long. ?In just a moment, the deep darkness began to fade away like a tide. ??Nigel looked around and found that his companions were all safe, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ?Gelisi stood there. Although he was not injured, his expression became extremely serious. That guy stole the [seed of life]! The "seeds of life" that were previously among its branches have disappeared. Also missing was Mu Mu who was trapped in the encirclement. Damn it! This is bad! ??The expression on Nigelshus face was very ugly. ?Its original plan was to directly transform Mumu into one of them, so it revealed the secret information without any scruples, in order to make this former friend "die". But now, not only did Mumu escape, but he was also robbed of a [Seed of Life]? If the elders above are blamed, it will be doomed! That darkness just now...is the realm? In contrast, Gelisi quickly regained his composure and thought: "Human! The guy who just took action is a human!" ?It is very clear that Mumu definitely does not have such unpredictable means. ?Besides, Nigel quickly came to his senses and suddenly said in shock: "It''s the human who broke in before!" ??Xia En made a big noise not long ago. Almost alarmed half of the tree people in [City of Giant Trees]. By connecting the two, it will not be difficult for the tree people to guess the identity of the attacker. That guy actually stole the [Seed of Life]? What on earth does he want to do? ??Both Nigel and Gelis found it a bit difficult to understand. In fact, there has been no trace of human beings in [City of Giant Woods] for a long time. Except for humans who were forcibly dragged down to the sea by vines and sacrificed. ?The explorers found in other underwater ruins are almost non-existent in [City of Giant Trees]. ?As the notoriety of [City of Giant Woods] gradually spreads, even ships like [Warm Snow] dare not approach this sea area easily, let alone other small ships. ?????????????????????????????? ? People at sea go fishing in underwater ruins, isnt it just for the heritage in the ruins? ??The [City of Giant Trees] is basically a primitive underwater forest, with nothing but poverty and tree people who are eyeing humans. ?Why should the salvage ship take great risks to explore here? ?Wouldnt it be nice to go to those underwater ruins that are both safe and rich? This is why Mumu was so excited and novel when seeing Xia En. ?It is for this reason that Nigel and other tree people feel extremely puzzled and confused. ?Why does this human being come to [City of Giant Trees]? ????????????????????????????????????????????????? As for taking away the "seed of life", it is even more unreasonable. [Seed of Life] is a gift from the [Giant Wood God], but not everyone can use it. ?Ordinary tree people like Nigel do not have the ability to activate the [Seed of Life]. Only "saints" with special status like Song Lisi can give it to other tree people. ?The opponent is a human, even if he gets the [Seed of Life], its useless! However, that person may not be a simple human being. ?Gelisi recalled the shrieking sound made by [Seed of Life] just now, feeling both apprehensive and a little scared. This is the first time that it has felt such a strong fear from [The Seed of Life]. In other words, this is also the first time it realizes... So it turns out that [the seed of life] is also afraid? Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Gelisi said to everyone. Anyway, the current situation is beyond our capabilities. Lets go report this to Grandpa Fana now and let the elders decide what to do. Gelesi''s status in a group of tree people is comparable to the backbone. As soon as it spoke, the tree people naturally had no objection and turned around and walked into the forest together. The other side. Xia En took Mumu through the forest in another direction. ??The pitch-black darkness just now was naturally his domain [Great Dark Sky]. With Xia En''s strength, it was not difficult to kill these tree men in the field. But he had an instinctive premonition. It would be okay if he killed other people, but if he killed the self-proclaimed "saint" Ge Lisi, it seemed that it would attract the attention of a certain existence. ?That is most likely the will of the [Giant Wood God]! ?Xia En has just started exploring the [City of Giant Trees], and he doesnt plan to face the final big BOSS directly yet. on the other hand. ?Gliss and Nigel are Mumus friends after all. Even though they seemed to have turned into another person under the influence of [Seed of Life], Mumu still cared about the old relationship and said to Xia En, "Don''t kill them!" Xia En stopped there. At the same time as casting [Great Dark Sky]. ?Shaan also noticed that the malice in the surrounding forest had obviously become stronger. It was as if there were thousands of eyes hiding in this dense underwater forest, peering at him with malicious eyes. ?Furthermore, there is an invisible force spreading in the sea water, as if it is weakening his [Great Dark Sky]. ??Although the extent of this weakening is not large, it also makes Xia En wary. After all, if this weakening can continue to be superimposed, it will be tantamount to half of his [Great Dark Sky]''s ability! Wait a minute, could this be a battle between realms? ?Xia En suddenly woke up. In the words of the tree people, this forest is the "god''s kingdom" of the [Giant Wood God]. In other words, it is the domain of the [Giant Wood God]. And ones own domain as an outsider will undoubtedly be naturally suppressed by this domain. ?This is the real reason why [Great Dark Sky] was weakened. ?Aware of this, Xia En couldn''t help but be a little shocked. ?He looked around, and all he could see was a sea of ??lush forests, with no end as far as the eye could see. Such a large area, it is the only time he has seen it in his life! ??Moreover, while being huge, this field still has considerable suppressive power and can still weaken his [Great Dark Sky]. The two combined together appear quite terrifying. It is conceivable how powerful the existence known as the [Giant Wood God] will be. He is worthy of being named a god Xia En sighed in his heart: "But, is he really the real god?" ?Xia En couldnt help but think of the form of the [Seed of Life] he saw earlier. ?That kind of filthy, ugly, deformed sarcoma has nothing to do with the word "vitality" and will only make people instinctively feel uncomfortable and disgusted. No matter how you look at it, it doesn''t look like a "gift" that should be given by a righteous god, but rather a creation of an evil god. only Xia En looked down. ??The previously deformed and ugly sarcoma has now returned to the appearance of the green seeds. ?Judging from the appearance alone, it seems to be just a part of some kind of plant, and it doesnt feel like flesh and blood. ?That faint breath of life seems to be impossible to fake. This seems very strange. ??Had it not been for Xia En''s firm confidence in himself, he might have suspected that he had hallucinated before. ?However, even so, Xia En always had a faint dislike for this seed. It was as if his intuition was giving an early warning. So, Xia En still believed that there was definitely something wrong with this seed. The notes on the panel also proved his conjecture. ~~seed Quality: Epic Type: Material [Description: The creation called the "seed of life" by the tree people has undergone the secret power of ~~, making it impossible to see its true face. It is said to be able to rejuvenate tree people and get rid of their original shackles. So, what''s the price? For some reason, like the previous [Alienated Treeman Fragments], there are some vague handwriting on its annotations. It seems that there is a special power that covers the content of these words. Xia En immediately paid great attention to it. The existence that can slightly affect the [Eye of the Secret Sea] must have its own uniqueness. ?However, based on the unobstructed content, Xia En can also judge The ugly appearance of the [Seed of Life] he saw before was its true face! We have to take it to the ship and study it carefully. ?Just when Xia En was thinking this, Mumu in his hand suddenly spoke. Benefactor, please put me down? Hearing this, Xia En gradually stopped and looked at the tree that had suffered a heavy blow. Are you... okay? What happened to Mumu just now, even from the perspective of a bystander like Xia En, was a bit too tragic. Be bullied, double betrayed, bullied, and finally almost fell into evil trap. ??If it were a young boy with a weak will, he would probably be in a state of collapse. ?However, looking at Mumu''s expression, although he was still a little frustrated, his mood was still calm, which made Xia En feel a little relieved. My benefactor, Im fine. Mumu said seriously: "Now I have to find Grandpa Hunter quickly and tell the other conservatives the news." Otherwise, [City of Giant Woods] will be completely finished. Shaan asked: "Do the current conservatives still have the strength to fight?" Mumu smiled bitterly and said, "If Uncle Farner hadn''t rebelled, he would have had a slight chance of winning." "But since it has switched sides, it means that the tree people among the executioners will also switch to the reformists." Nowhope is probably very slim. There is one more thing Mumu didnt say to Xia En. Actually, the old school is not monolithic, and many tree people have always had a tendency to waver. ?At present, Elder Fana''s rebellion will undoubtedly bring about a series of chain reactions, causing some shaken old tree people to change their stance. Xia En asked again: "Speaking of which, why are you always unwilling to join their side?" Is it because of Hunter? This matter actually made Xia En quite curious. Before, no matter whether Nigel and his party were coerced or induced, Mumu had no intention of actively accepting the [Seed of Life], not even the slightest thought. ?Judging from Mumus behavior, it looks a bit like a young rebellious boy. Mumu said frankly: "Grandpa Hunter is of course on one side." Another reason is I heard that actually a thousand years ago, all of us tree people should have died in the great flood. "It was the spirit...the goddess who made the sacrifice that allowed us to survive." "Even if life is ugly, at least it is alive, right?" Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised. "In short, to our family, that goddess is actually very kind." Mumu said with a simple smile: "I just feel that I cannot repay kindness with hatred, so I have never wanted to believe in the [Giant Wood God]." "I see." Xia En nodded: "Then do you know where the goddess''s temple...is in this city?" Temple? Mumu looked confused and guessed: "It seems to have been blocked by the [Giant Wood God]''s men for a long time, right?" I dont know exactly where it is. After getting the negative answer, Xia En was not discouraged. He didnt think he was lucky enough to be able to find the target on the first day of [submersible]. Subsequently, Xia En and Mumu said goodbye. At the moment Xia En ended his submersible voyage, the words on the panel changed. The vague ~~ began to dissipate, replaced by discernible words. Submarine is over! Obtain loot: Seed of Corruption! (End of this chapter) Chapter 240 The new form of Xiange, illusion or reality? Chapter 240 The new form of string song, illusion or reality? In the captain''s cabin. Shanes consciousness returned to his original body, and at the same time he brought back the spoils of the dive. But the moment this "seed" left the sea water, its appearance suddenly changed drastically. Now it has completely turned into a rotten and ugly tumor. ??Many tangled tentacles of different lengths are attached to the surface of the sarcoma and are still moving slightly. As the sarcoma moves, thick green mucus is continuously secreted from it, emitting a strong stench. ??Except that the eyeballs on the tentacles were completely closed and fell into dormancy, everything was the same as what Xia En had seen before. This means that the scene that Shane saw not long ago was not an illusion. This ugly and distorted appearance is the true face of this seed! ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little creepy. Based on his experience of exploring [City of Giant Trees] this time, it is not difficult to guess that most of the tree people in the city have accepted this existence called [Seed of Life]. And if such a sarcoma takes root in the body, will the tree people really be reborn? ?Xia En instinctively sensed that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it. Its real name is [Seed of Corruption]? Xia Ens eyes fell on the panel, and when he saw the real name of the tumor, his expression changed slightly. In fact, the rotten smell exuding from this sarcoma gave him a sense of dj vu. Plus this name "Could this kind of thing be related to [Huisi Ming]?" ?Xia En frowned slightly and guessed in his mind. No wonder he thinks too much, [Hui Siming] often plays an indispensable role in events involving the elves. Another thing that puzzled Shane was... ?This [Seed of Corruption] can be disguised as a plant-like appearance in [City of Giant Trees]. Even the description on the panel has been affected. Why did your original shape appear as soon as you left the sea? ??Xia En was thinking seriously about these questions. The next moment. int is a sudden burst of pain , like the scream of a baby . Immediately afterwards, the flesh buds and tentacles began to dance wildly. But it didnt look like an attack, but more like a creature struggling when it was about to die! When the miserable struggle reached its limit, this seed of flesh and blood finally began to collapse. More and more pus flows out of the [Corruption Seed], and the granulation is rapidly losing activity. Less than a minute. The [Seed of Corruption] collapsed and disintegrated into a puddle of dark green slime, and the weird screaming sound also stopped. Xia En frowned and murmured: "This is..." Triggered some kind of self-destruct mechanism? The reason is that you left [City of Giant Woods]? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Is it possible that the disguise of [Seed of Corruption] is actually related to the realm that encompasses the entire [City of Giant Trees]? Xia En felt strange before. City of Giant TreesThis area does not seem to have anything special except for its wide range and the home advantage of occupying the forest. Not to mention that compared with Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky], even the realm of ordinary mystics is more subtle and magical than this. ?This seems inconsistent with the extremely high status of [Giant Wood God]. But now I think about it. ??If this realm is related to the [Seed of Corruption] given by the [Giant Wood God], then everything has a reasonable explanation. It is precisely because of this layer of disguise that the tree people will accept the [Seed of Corruption] without much precaution. Otherwise, just seeing this deformed sarcoma would be enough to scare away a large number of tree people. ?Although tree people also long for a living body, they want to live longer. But seeing this ugly piece of meat, anyone would notice something was wrong, right? "etc" ?Thinking along this line of thinking, Xia En couldn''t help but have a more terrifying guess. What if this disguised illusion doesnt just act on [Seed of Corruption]? In the [City of Giant Trees], he clearly saw that the tree people who used [Seed of Corruption] had stronger and more vivid bodies than the old guard. ?The trunk is tall and straight, the leaves are lush and green, and they are full of fresh vitality. Now, [Seed of Corruption] has been proven to be not a good thing. ??What will the real appearance of those tree people who accepted it be like? ?Xia En didnt dare to think any further. Dong dong dong! ?At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Then, Joey hurriedly opened the door and broke in. Mr. Captain, are you okay? ?Seeing that Xia En was safe and sound, Joey breathed a sigh of relief and explained. I just heard screaming coming from the captains cabin, and then... Huh, I told you, nothing will happen to the captain! Behind her, Xian Ge said confidently: "This is on our own ship... Wow! What does this smell like? It stinks!" Xianges proud request for credit was interrupted by itself. The sense of smell of dragons is much sharper than that of humans. This stench with a rotten smell assaulted the nostrils and made it smell bad all at once. Besides, its such a nasty smell! Xiange whispered: "I must have smelled it somewhere!" Xia En''s eyes first glanced behind Joey and Xian Ge, and found that not only the two of them were here, but An, Fei Ya, and Yan Yan were also present. Even the ghost lady Vivian, who is always a sleepy soul, was quietly watching from the sidelines. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little warmth in his heart and said. Dont worry, Im fine. The scream just now was caused by this thing. As he spoke, he pointed at the puddle of mucus on the ground, and then looked at Xian Ge, who had a look of disgust on his face. Xiange, have you ever heard of the existence of [Seed of Corruption]? As a seemingly reborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge has always had some remaining ancient memories. ??Moreover, these memories are still being revived as it grows. Perhaps you will know the origin of [Seed of Corruption]. [Seed of Corruption]? Xian Ge touched his chin and said uncertainly. I seem to have heard this name somewhere. Its effect should be to permanently parasitize the target organism, continuously absorb the life and soul of the parasite, and continuously assimilate the parasite in the process. However, because of the effect of assimilation, the parasite is not only unaware of his own abnormalities, but also feels that he is becoming stronger. ?Although Xian Ge is usually unreliable, when he gets serious, what he says is quite credible. Xian Ge continued to think: "It''s like the kind of special medicine used to hang one''s life." At the expense of stimulating the potential of life, we exchange for superficial reflections. When the potential is exhausted, we will lose our lives. ?Xia Ens thoughts flashed. ?Xian Ges statement is exactly in line with the current situation of the tree people in the [City of Giant Trees]. ?This alone is enough to show that the [Giant Wood God] has bad intentions. That is by no means a kind **** who gives gifts selflessly to save the tree people. Rather, he is an evil **** who will do whatever it takes for his own selfish motives. Even, even the name [Giant Wood God] may be fictitious! The question now is. Is [City of Giant Trees], like [Seed of Corruption], both cast with illusions that confuse perception? With the idea of ??making the best use of everything, Xia En asked Xian Ge and Joey. Do you know of any spells that can see through illusions or illusions? Xiange grinned and said proudly: "Captain, you have asked the right question!" After I advanced a few days ago, I went through the magic notebook again and learned a few new spells. There is a magic that can detect illusions, called [Pupil of True Sight]. During this period of time, [Laila''s Magic Notes] have been stored in Xian Ge''s room. Its not that Xia En doesnt want to read this magic book, but that after returning from the history of [Emerald Ancient City], he forgot the Elvish language he had learned. It was as if the pronunciation of Elvish was instantly ripped out of his mind. Not only him, Yan Yan and Cuiqi also forgot the Elvish language. It was only then that Xia En understood the reason for the (temporary) suffix on the panel. Obviously, the scope of influence of the [Aphasia Curse] was larger than he expected. As for why Xian Ge can still master a certain amount of Elvish, Xia En still hasnt figured it out yet. ??But no matter what, Xian Ge is the only crew member on the ship who can decipher [Laila''s Magic Notes], so Shane naturally gave this note to it for study. ?Now it seems that it is indeed of great use. but ?Xia En encountered a fantasy in the [City of Giant Trees] related to elves. It just so happens that [Laila''s Magic Notes] contains the magic to break through the illusion... Is there any connection between the two? Xia En thought for a while, and finally smiled and shook his head. It should be just a simple coincidence! Subsequently, Xia En asked Xian Ge about how to use the "Eye of True Sight" and wanted to learn it directly. But in this regard, Xian Ge said: "Captain, you probably won''t be able to learn this magic, because it must be activated in Elvish language." Do I have to use Elvish... ?Xia En frowned slightly. He didnt think Xian Ge would lie to people about such a trivial matter. ?After experiencing the history of the Emerald Isle, Shane also clearly understood the mystery of Elvish language. ?This language itself contains mysterious and extraordinary power. ??The reason why some magic in ancient times was lost is because of the death of Elvish language. At the moment, the only one on the ship who can speak Elvish is Xian Ge. Do you want to take Xiange to [City of Giant Woods] to have a look? In terms of water quality, Xian Ge is actually no weaker than the other crew members on the ship, and is even in the strongest category. Legends say that the oldest ancient dragons come from the deep sea, and they naturally have the power to control the ocean. ?Although Xian Ge is not the oldest dragon, there is no problem at all when he dives into the sea and moves normally. Xian Ge seemed to have noticed Xia En''s hesitation, and his eyes lit up. Captain, do you want to take me to sea? Okay, okay, Ive wanted to explore the sea for a long time! How can I not spread the glory of the great bronze dragon to the bottom of the sea? Xia Ens lips twitched when he heard this. This is no joke! Do you think you are a child going on an outing? ??The deep sea is full of dangers, and this [City of Giant Woods] is even more undercurrent. ??If Xia En did not have the ability of [Deep Sea Scuba Diving], he would definitely not dare to take the risk and go to the [City of Giant Woods] to commit suicide. Even if Xian Ge breaks through the third level, with Gu Long''s natural ability, his combat power is comparable to that of a fourth level strong man. In [City of Giant Trees], there is still not enough to see. ?Judgment based on Xia Ens experience of fighting against the tree people. The single combat power of each ordinary tree man is about level 3, but there are too many of them, and they have a home field advantage. Once a war breaks out, you will have to face an endless "sea of ??trees." Not to mention, there will definitely be powerful people among the tree people. ?Shaans [Projection Body] will not die. Even if he is cornered, he can come back the next day. But if you bring a string song with you, you must always be concerned about its safety. Captain, what are you thinking about? Xian Ge seemed to see Xia En''s thoughts and said, "I''m not thinking about going on an adventure to the bottom of the sea." Wouldnt it be great if we just took a look down from the surface of the sea? Xian Ge said this, but actually he still had some thoughts about exploring the deep sea. ?Honestly speaking, this should be considered its nature. ?Whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the sea, it will feel particularly happy. Hearing this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Then let''s go to the sea now and have a look." Anyway, its only in the shallow sea, so there shouldnt be any problem if you keep a distance from the [City of Giant Trees]. Xia En warned again: "However, you''d better make some disguise and don''t go into the sea in the form of an ancient dragon." Creatures like the ancient dragon should have been extinct from the Seven Seas like the elves. The [Giant Wood God]s heels are unknown now, so its better to be cautious. Xian Ge attached great importance to this long-awaited trip to the sea and was looking forward to it. He nodded hurriedly. No problem, Captain! Not long. ?Shaan changed into light clothes and came to the deck. Its a bit funny to say that he has been a captain for so long, but he has very few personal experiences of going to sea, so it feels quite novel. At this time, a petite figure walked up to Xia En. She has two bronze-colored dragon horns like sheep''s horns, some bronze-colored scales on her skin, and a dragon tail behind her. Her hair is metallic cyan, with a smooth and silky texture. The outline of the facial features is extremely beautiful, as delicate as a porcelain doll. The only problem is. She looked to be only seven or eight years old, with a little baby fat on her cheeks. She was still a young girl. Xia En was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?" Captain! You dont even recognize me! The young dragon girl raised her chest: "Hmph, I am a great bronze dragon..." Stop, stop, stop Hearing her soft voice, Xia En still didn''t recognize her identity, but he couldn''t help but wonder. Xiange, why did you become like this? Xian Ge said confidently: "This is my mimicry magic. Didn''t you ask me to disguise it, Captain?" ??Xia En really thought of the new abilities Xian Ge gained after being promoted. ?However, now is not the time to worry about this. ?After he marveled for a moment, he jumped into the sea together with the song. (End of this chapter) Chapter 241 The true face of [City of Giant Woods]! Chapter 241 The true face of [City of Giant Trees]! After throwing yourself into the sea. Xian Ge suddenly frowned his little bronze eyebrows. With the keen instinct of the bronze dragon, she sensed that there was a mysterious force spreading in the sea water, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable. Then, Xiange lowered his head and looked at the [City of Giant Woods] below, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. There is such a dense and vibrant forest under the sea? I have to say. ?Judging from the appearance alone, the scenery of [City of Giant Trees] can be described as spectacular. Like a miracle from the Creator. Even though Xia En had given Xian Ge a rough introduction to the city before, Xian Ge couldn''t help but marvel a little when he suddenly saw this scene. ?However, Xian Ge certainly did not forget the task assigned by Xia En. After a brief surprise, she became serious and whispered the mysterious Elvish language in a low voice. ?This ancient language has been lost today. Just like those older dragon languages. Even when Xian Ge recited the incantation, it seemed a bit slow and jerky. He was probably worried that he would miss some syllables and cause the spell to fail. ?Besides, Xia En silently listened to the recitation of Xian Ge, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. It seems that each individual syllable can be understood, but when put together, it becomes a completely unfamiliar language. ?Shaan suspected that he had not completely forgotten the skill of Elvish. It cannot be used normally just because of some unknown limitation. ??As for why Xian Ge can still cast spells in Elvish language, it is probably inseparable from the race of its ancient dragon. ?While Xia En was thinking, Xian Ge had undergone miraculous changes. A dark golden light gradually lit up in her pupils. In the depths of the light, it seemed as if there was an ancient rune spinning, profound and thrilling. It also gave Xian Ge''s face a mysterious temperament that was different from usual. Rune? Xia En''s heart moved. He knew from a very early age that language and writing itself possess magical and mysterious powers. ??Moreover, runes seem to be closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary spells. ?For example, when Xia En was plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he faintly came into contact with the rune that seemed to represent "Thunder". ?But at that time, the time when he came into contact with the runes was too short. Before Xia En had time to delve deeper, the runes disappeared. Now, looking at the rune in Xian Ges eyes, Xia En inexplicably understood its meaning reality! The existence of this rune is the cornerstone of the [Eye of True Sight] spell. ?Aware of this, Xia En inevitably thought a little deeper. Could Elvish language be special because it is closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary languages? But at this moment. The expression on Xiange''s face suddenly changed. Her face turned pale, her pupils dilated, and her whole body trembled violently. Xiange, whats wrong with you? Xia En frowned and immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly asked: "What did you see?" ?Xiange''s face turned paler and paler, and he murmured. "Escape...Escape quickly! This city..." Upon seeing this, Xia En made an immediate decision, holding Xian Ge''s little hand and swimming quickly towards the sea. After a while. ??The two returned to the deck of the Black Swan, but Xian Ge still had a frightened look on his face, as if he had been greatly frightened. Xian Ge''s character has always been out-of-the-box. At best, he is unrestrained and optimistic; at worst, he is arrogant. Even the fact that she had such an expression could only mean that Xian Ge was really frightened. ?Seeing this scene, Joey immediately asked with concern. Whats wrong with Xian Ge? Mr. Captain, what happened to you at sea? Shane is also very strange. ?Honestly speaking, Xiange just glanced at the "City of Giant Woods" with the "Eye of True Sight". Could it be that this distant glance alone scared Xian Ge, who had always been bold, to this point? At this time, Joey softly sang an unknown ballad, using the secret power of the song to soothe Xian Ge''s frightened heart. After obtaining the profession of [Deep Sea Singer], Joey gained more authority from the Storm Goddess. Including calming the mind, this is a basic ability that the storm priest must master. As the gentle and soothing sound of the waves rang in Xianges ears, her panicked spirit quickly calmed down. Xian Ge opened his eyes again and spoke seriously. Captain, that city... is definitely scarier than you expected? I suggest you not to explore there again in the future. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What''s going on? In [Eye of True Sight], what does [City of Giant Woods] look like?" Wait a minute, I also have a magic called [Memory Sharing]. Xian Ge tried his best to calm down, cast a spell again, and said, "Please take a look." Suddenly, a thin curtain of light appeared in front of everyone. The above shows the scene that Xian Ge saw from the first perspective. At first it was the scene of entering the sea water. Then, there is the endless, lush and vibrant underwater forest. ??Joy was a little surprised: "What a big forest!" The vitality here is not much worse than the [Rhine Secret Realm], right? ?Shaan has long regarded the crew as life and death partners, so he naturally told them about the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. In fact, in their spare time, the crew will also go exploring in the "Rhine Secret Realm". On the one hand, it is to help Xia En explore this vast secret realm. On the other hand, it is to pass the boring time while sailing and hone one''s combat skills. Sometimes it is not a good thing for a captain to be too capable. Sometimes the naval battle does not require their action, and the battle is over. The sparring between crew members does not have the sense of life-and-death crisis. It just so happens that there are many unknown and novel species in the [Rhine Secret Realm], which can be used as a whetstone for them. Fei Ya, who was next to him, looked at the underwater forest in the light curtain and looked surprised. Strange...how can such a large forest survive in the sea? Tracey asked curiously: "What''s so scary about this forest?" Xian Ge didnt explain much, just sighed and said. Soon you will understand. As the time in Xian Ges memory progressed, a faint dark golden light appeared on the light screen, and the scene in his field of vision suddenly began to shake like water waves. Obviously, this is the memory of Xian Ge using the "Eye of True Sight". When the scene turned from blurry to clear, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes. ?Wherever there is life, there is forest. In the depths of the sea below, there is a layer of filth that resembles a carpet of bacteria, exuding a rotten atmosphere all the time. ?There is also a withered and decaying tree man on the fungus carpet. If you really want to say it, it is equivalent to a mummy-like existence. ??The branches of the tree man mummies are like deformed flesh and blood, with sunken eyes and distorted faces, which seem to be telling of endless pain. ? And in the center of the entire city, the **** called the [Giant Tree God] is not a huge tree at all. And a huge, rotting heart of flesh and blood! ?Countless pieces of red and black flesh turned into tentacles, suckers, mouthparts... The surface was also covered with various beating internal organs like stomach, heart, liver, and kidneys. ?The jet-black liquid, which was like substance, slowly flowed out from the mouthparts, dripped onto the seabed, and instantly spread into a twisted carpet of flesh. Making this jungle of flesh and blood continue to expand outwards. With the heart beating again and again, the tree man corpses on the meat carpet were stimulated to let out crazy and painful silent roars. "this" ?Seeing this scene, not to mention the crew, even Xia En was deeply shocked. Is this the real [City of Giant Trees]? Even though he had seen the true face of [Seed of Life], he had some expectations in his heart. ?But this city made of rotten, filthy flesh and blood still gave him a strong mental impact. When he thought about how long he had spent in this city of flesh and blood, Xia En felt his scalp numb and his back chilly. This is still the picture after [Memory Sharing], and the impact itself has been reduced a lot. You can imagine how frightened Xian Ge was when he saw this scene. No wonder it became so flustered. The crew members were also greatly shocked by the changes in the scene in the light curtain. The main thing is the comparison between before and after, which is too obvious. ?One second it was a forest full of life, the next second it became filthy and blasphemous flesh and blood. ??Joy couldn''t help but worry: "Mr. Captain, do you have to explore this city?" "I think... it''s better for us to leave as soon as possible." ?Shaan shook his head: "I have a reason to explore it." But dont worry, I have a unique way of exploring, and everything will be fine. By now, most of the crew had vaguely guessed the secret of Xia En''s [Deep Sea Diving], but neither party had revealed it. The crew only regarded this as Xia En''s special secret method and did not pursue it too much. As the captain, Shanes power on the ship is unlimited. ?At this point, he had made up his mind, and the crew would naturally not try to persuade him further. Yan Yan, who was wearing a robe, suggested: "Captain Xia En, why don''t you let me go down with you?" Let me burn this forest clean! Yan Yans expression is very cheerful and sunny, which is a bit scary when he says it. ?However, Yan Yan rarely takes the initiative to request combat. After all, when that mysterious and powerful flame burns the enemy, it also burns his body. Yan Yan can finally control his own flames now, but he doesn''t want to fall into the **** of being tortured by flames every day. So, Xia En was a little curious about the reason why he took the initiative to ask for a fight. Yan Yan said directly and frankly: "I don''t know why, but I feel very unhappy when I see that huge heart, and I always want to burn it." Unhappy? This is indeed a reason. ?However, Xia En could not help but think of Yan Yans mysterious past. Yan Yan''s origin is also unusual. Xia En can only barely guess that he may have some connection with the legendary "King Xin". ?Perhaps, in his lost memory, he had contact with the [Giant Wood God]? Xia En''s eyes swept over Yan Yan, Xian Ge and An. So far, these crew members have deep-hidden secrets that have not yet been discovered. Each of them has a distinguished background, and each of them has a unique bloodline. It seems that I am the only one who has made it this far through my own efforts and a little help from [Eye of the Secret Sea]... Xia En put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and decided to take Yan Yan with him on his next dive. Not that he really wanted to burn this rotten city down. Although most of the tree people in the city have converted to the [Giant Wood God], there are still a small number of tree people who insist on their faith and are still lingering. Can''t we burn them completely as well? ?Xia En decided to use Yan Yan as a "backup hidden energy source." When the last resort came, he released the flames and exploded with the group of trees. At this time, Xia En remembered something again and asked Xian Ge. Can you take a photo of this memory? Xiange said uncertainly: "If there is a shadow stone, it should be OK?" The image stone is a special alchemical product that can temporarily record part of the image. Most of the time, it is used by federal law enforcement officers to collect evidence. ??Sometimes it is used for some interesting purposes. Coincidentally, there is actually a photographic stone among the Duke of Nova''s inheritance. ?Thinking of this, Xia En took out the shadow stone and handed it to Xian Ge. ?Xian Ge immediately started operating. ??The reason why Shane wanted to record this video is simple. At this time, there are still some conservatives in [City of Giant Trees]. It was only because of the growing strength of the reformists and the temptation of "rebirth" that they were forced to fall into the arms of the [Giant Wood God]. ??If the truth can be revealed to them, although not all the tree people will change their minds, it will at least change the views of some tree people. ?Of course, Xia En has not forgotten that his ultimate goal is to find the Elf Temple. With the help of this image, we might be able to get help from some tree people. We have to talk to that old Hunter again. Grandpa Hunter was taken away by the executioner! The next day, Xia En and Yan Yan came to the underwater forest. As soon as they found the tree man Mumu, they heard the news. Mumu''s face was full of anxiety, even crying. Yesterday, not long after I told Grandpa Hunter about Uncle Farners betrayal, the executioners came! Grandpa Hunter took the initiative to confront them in order to make me hide. Resultresult ?Xia En frowned and reassured: "Don''t panic yet." What was the crime for which it was taken away? With yesterday''s experience, Xia En also had a certain understanding of this small kingdom of tree people. ? He ??knew that the "Executioner" was actually an existence similar to the "Law Enforcer", used to manage order in the [City of Giant Woods]. ??But with the defection of the elder Fana, the executioner gradually became a sharp knife to persecute the conservatives. ?Mumu stared at Xia En and whispered. Yes, its a human being who secretly hides aliens Xia En raised his eyebrows. Could it be that he was exposed? But on second thought, this was probably an unwarranted frame-up. ? No matter whether Hunter has anything to do with him or not, once he is taken away by the executioner, the initiative is already in the hands of the other party. Whether Hunter is hiding something secretly is actually not important at all. What is important is whether the executioner thinks he is hiding something secretly! (End of this chapter) Chapter 242 The ruins of the Elven Temple Chapter 242 The ruins of the Elf Temple In this situation, even if Hunter has not had any contact with him, he will be accused of sheltering outsiders. Not to mention, he did protect Xia En and could not withstand the investigation! Xia En''s mind flashed and he asked Mumu. Where will the executioner take Old Hunter? ?No matter what, the reason why Old Hunter encountered this unreasonable disaster was inseparable from Shane. He couldn''t just let old Hunter be executed. Hearing this, Mumu was surprised and said: "You, what do you want to do?" Of course Im going to save old Hunter, or are we going to watch him die? Xia En said matter-of-factly: "By the way, do you know other elders among the tree people? Preferably those with higher status." The understanding is serious, its just... Mumu looked bitter: "I don''t know who is trustworthy and who is not trustworthy." Grandpa Hunter told me yesterday that now, my uncles and uncles may fall to the [Giant Wood God] at any time... Grandpa said, the only one I can trust is myself After experiencing the double betrayal of her friend and childhood sweetheart yesterday, and almost being planted with the [Seed of Corruption], Mumu could barely keep calm. But now, even its only support, Old Hunter, has been taken away. Mumu finally panicked, as if it had lost its backbone. In the final analysis, based on Shurens lifespan, Mumu is actually just a young man who is not deeply involved in the world. Its current performance is considered strong enough. ?Xia En has already made a decision in his heart and acts vigorously and resolutely. In that case, if there is any elder you think you can trust relatively, lets go find him first. Mumu murmured: "The most reliable one should be Elder Iris, who is Grandpa Hunter''s best friend." Xia En said decisively: "Then look for it." Mumu was still a little worried: "But what if Elder Yliss..." ?This series of tragic encounters has made this young tree man a little nervous, fearing that he will encounter the next betrayal. At this time, Xia En said firmly. Dont worry, I have everything under my control. The confused Mumu lowered her head, looked at his tall and tall figure, and listened to the calm and indifferent tone. Her heart felt settled for no reason, and she felt confident. If it were him, maybe he could really help me and grandpa get through this crisis..." ?Thinking of this, Mumu no longer hesitated and said decisively: "Please come with me." Ill lead the way for you. ??As an aboriginal of the [City of Giant Trees], Mumu is far more familiar with this city than Xia En and the other two. ?Hence, we knew a few hidden routes forward, and both Xia En and Xia En were disguised, so they had a smooth journey along the way. Led by Mumu, the group soon came to a particularly special forest. Here, the surrounding woods present a different look. The branches and leaves on the trunk are gray-black in color, and the bark is as withered and shriveled as that of tree people like Mumu, making it look particularly gloomy and weak in vitality. ??It is incompatible with the nearby forest, which is extremely vivid and even dazzling in green. What surprised Xia En the most. After arriving in this area, the malice in the forest seemed to have faded a bit, and it no longer gave people the feeling of a ray of light on their backs. After witnessing the true appearance of [Seed of Corruption] and [City of Giant Trees]. ?Shaan already knows that in this city, one cannot simply rely on the appearance of things as a criterion. An area that appears to be full of vitality is actually a carpet of rotting and decaying flesh. ?Perhaps this seemingly strange and deep forest is actually a rare pure land in [City of Giant Trees]? As if aware of Xia En''s curious gaze, Mumu explained in a low voice. We call this place the Black Forest. It seems to have been like this many years ago. "In the mouths of the reformists, they have always claimed that this forest is a cursed place, a territory that is rejected by the [Giant Wood God]." So they rarely go deep into it and have very limited control over this forest. Elder Aerys and his people live deep in this forest. On the way here, Xia En briefly learned about this elder Yliss from Mumu. Strictly speaking. ??Yerys is neither a conservative nor a reformist. Using the internal name of tree people, they should belong to the category of the hermit sect. In short, it means neither supporting the belief in the old gods nor turning around to believe in the new gods. Attempting to transcend the two major factions, they just want to survive without fighting against the world. ?This is one of the reasons why Mumu didnt dare to come to Iris at first. After all, it could not confirm what Aerys''s attitude would be towards this matter, or whether he would stand idly by. ?However, although Aerys advocated remaining neutral, he wanted to live in seclusion in the Black Forest. But as the conflicts between the two factions become increasingly acute, it is difficult for the confrontation between the two to involve members of the Hermit Sect. Very simple reason. Treants of the hermit sect will always have relatives and friends who are either conservative sect or reformist sect. ?For example, Iris herself is Hunters best friend. ??And once these close people are affected by the confrontation between the two factions, can the reclusive faction still stay out of the world? In the final analysis, the more intense the struggle, the less tolerated the existence of neutralists. Things have developed to where they are now. As the leader of the hermit faction, Aerys has to make the final decision. After knowing these inside information, Xia En became more confident in this operation. ?Not long after a group of people entered the black forest. ?In a corner of the forest, the branches and leaves of the trees suddenly swayed, and there was an undercurrent surging. Mumu was startled and immediately looked in that direction warily. Xia En took a step forward, stood in front of Mu Mu, and said, "Senior, why do you need to hide your head and show your tail?" You might as well come forward and speak frankly. ...human beings? ??In the dark forest, a slightly surprised voice came out. But soon, there was a trace of fear in this voice. Nowhat the **** are you Obviously, the guy hiding in the dark tried to see through the nature of Xia En''s [projection body], so he saw something he shouldn''t have seen, and was a little frightened by it. By this time, Xia En had already noticed It seems that the more powerful and inspired the existence is, the more frightened it will be when facing the [Projection Body]. On the contrary, Mumu, a young man who doesnt know anything, cant see much abnormality. At this time, Shane said frankly: "It doesn''t matter who I am." The important thing is that you [City of Giant Woods] are about to face a disaster! All the tree people in this city will meet the end of destruction. Hearing this, the other party immediately retorted: "Nonsense!" [The City of Giant Trees] is obviously still peaceful, so where is the disaster and the ending of destruction? ?Xia En couldn''t help but glance at the direction where the sound came from with pity. It seems like you really dont know anything ?Such a look of pity, but the rebuttal made people even more angry. With the surge of sea water, a huge tree man seven or eight meters tall walked into the black forest. ?That rough and withered tree face was full of anger, and its voice was like a bell. What does mean? I dont know anything? So what do you know? The moment he saw the tree man, Xia En couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. Because, although this tree man is taller and the bark is slightly darker, overall, he still looks as dry and ugly as Mu Mu. Apparently the [Seed of Corruption] has not been accepted yet. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out out out Facing the menacing tree man, Xia En said calmly without changing his expression. Take us to Elder Aerys quickly. Big man, you dont want [City of Giant Woods] to perish because of your negligence, right? "Um?" The big tree man was stunned. ?It always felt that what the other party said sounded fine, but when it thought about it carefully, it felt that something was wrong. Isnt it here to give these people a blow? How come you became the leader? Below, Mumu raised his head and said anxiously: "Uncle Wind, please, we really have something important to report to Elder Yliss." Mumu has been to the Black Forest several times, and naturally got acquainted with some of the hermit tree people. ?Seeing Mumu''s eager look, the big tree man was a little embarrassed and muttered. "But Lord Aerys said that no one else is allowed to enter the Black Forest..." Just when it was still hesitant. ??A faint sigh came from the depths of the black forest. Thats it, Wende, let them in. Hearing this voice, the big tree man immediately showed a respectful look on his face. Yes, Lord Aerys. Then, the treeman Wind glanced at Shane and others with complicated eyes: "Although I still think you are alarmist, now that Lord Aerys has spoken..." You guys, come with me. With Wen De''s guidance, Xia En and his party encountered no resistance and successfully entered the depths of the black forest. ? Along the way, Xia En also met other tree people from the hermit sect. ?However, unlike the conservative and innovative tree people, most of these reclusive tree people are in a strange state of sleep. Even if they get close, they show no sign of waking up. It feels like being integrated with the black forest and breathing with the breathing of the black forest. Xia En silently remembered what he saw in his heart and continued to move forward. After a while, they came to a black tree that was several times bigger than Wende. ?This tree is forty to fifty meters high. Dozens of people need to wrap their arms around the trunk to hug it. Only by looking up can most of its body be seen. To be honest, it is even more exaggerated than Shane''s size after he transformed into a giant. Among the underwater tree people, such a huge body is actually very rare. It seems that due to water pressure and seawater erosion, or perhaps to reduce energy consumption, the size of the tree people in [City of Giant Trees] is generally restricted, and they have become much smaller than on the island. ??Generally under ten meters, a tree man close to ten meters is considered a big man. Of course, this pocket is relative to tree people. Compared with humans, they still have a natural size advantage. At this time, with so many restrictions, this tree man still dared to maintain such a large body. It shows its strong strength. Facing the tree man who was several times his size, Xia En''s expression remained unchanged and he took the initiative to ask. Are you Aerys? Its me. Iris responded: "If I guess correctly, you should be the outsider who caused the riot in [City of Giant Woods] yesterday, right?" Sean nodded: "Compared to this, what I want to ask is, do you know that Hunter has been taken away by the executioner?" Hearing this, Iris moved his eyes to Mumu next to him and sighed again. Im sorry about Hunter. ?Mumu was stunned immediately. ??The meaning of Iris''s words was that he had obviously known for a long time that Hunter was taken away by the executioner. So, does it even intend to face death without saving it? Iris continued: "It''s not that I don''t want to, but that I can''t." As he spoke, there was a sudden vibration below the ground, as if the entire seabed was shaking slightly. ?Shaan saw several roots wriggling in the mud, as if they were trying to get out of the soil, but it seemed extremely difficult. Iris smiled bitterly and said: "As you can see, I have become one with this forest and this seabed." My body is still here, but the roots have already gone deep into the ground. I dont know how deep it is. Its almost impossible to get out of the ground. Its eyes fell on the other tree men in the black forest, and it murmured in a complicated tone. Actually, its not just me, most of the tree people in the hermit sect have chosen this way to blend in with the black forest. Although it falls into a deep sleep, it can greatly reduce the consumption required for survival. And when that **** returns, we will wake up. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly felt enlightened. ??These hermit factions seem to be just neutral forces among the tree people. In fact, they chose a different way of survival from the two factions. The conservatives stubbornly adhere to their past beliefs and struggle to hold on. The reformists fell into the arms of the [Giant Wood God] to gain a longer life. ??The hermit sect seems to have buried dormant fires, hoping that the gods in the future can awaken them. It is difficult for Xia En to decide whether it is right or wrong. But now, the idea of ??borrowing power from Aerys seems to have failed. ? Even more, Shane suspected that Aerys might have known the truth about the [Seed of Life] and the malicious intentions of the [Giant Wood God]. He also knows that with the power of cultivating people, it is impossible to cope with it in advance. This is why we choose such a negative and pessimistic approach and place our hopes on the future. ?As a result, the effect of the image stone in Xia En''s hand on the true face of [City of Giant Woods] is greatly reduced. ''pity. Xia En sighed in his heart, but he was not discouraged. It would be best to have Aerys'' help. Without it, it would not be able to stop his original plan. ??Its just that he still has one key question that he hasnt asked. Elder Aerys, do you know where the Elven Temple of [City of Giant Woods] is located? ?Hearing this question, Iris was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. Where is the elven temple? That place has long been crushed into ruins by the [Giant Wood God]. To be honest, the place where the executioners were executed was the ruins of the Elf Temple. (End of this chapter) Chapter 243 miracle Chapter 243 Miracles The Elf Temple in [City of Giant Woods] has been destroyed? Hearing the news, Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised. ?His ultimate goal in coming to [City of Giant Woods] is to find the Elf Temple and seek a chance to return to the past. ?But now, Aerys told him that the temple had been destroyed long ago? ! This is simply a big joke played by fate on him! "Yes." ?Yerys saw from Xia Ens reaction that he seemed to pay special attention to the Elf Temple, so he explained kindly. When [The Giant Wood God] first came to this city, we always thought that he was one of the incarnations of the goddess of life. But later, he gradually revealed his wolfish ambitions and began to spread that weird [seed of life]. At that time, Old Hunter and I realized that there was definitely something wrong with the [Giant Wood God]. Talking about these past events, Iris mood became increasingly depressed while feeling reminisced about them. Its just that the temptation of [Seed of Life] to the tree people in [City of Giant Trees] is too great. Even if we old guys try our best to curb the spread of [Seed of Life], its all in vain. It was also at that time that Old Hunter and I embarked on different paths. It attempts to compete head-on with the power of the [Giant Wood God], but I am determined to live in seclusion in this dark forest. Hearing this, Shane also understood the reason why Iris and Hunter parted ways. ?Different personalities and opinions determined that they made different choices when facing this crisis. This remark also shows that There are still smart people among the tree people. Even though Iris and other elders may not know the true identity of [Seed of Life], they at least have a vague guess at part of the truth. Thats why I resolutely refuse to accept [the seed of life]. Iris continued: "As the number of supporters of [The Giant Wood God] increased, one day, he directly used his divine power to raze the Elf Temple to the ground." Even the statue of the goddess of life was smashed into countless pieces and buried in the current execution ground. Speaking of this, Iris''s tone was full of bitterness and helplessness. If there was really no chance of winning, why would we choose this ostrich-like method to escape? Thats why I say, its not that I dont want to, but that I cant! After hearing these words, Shane had a rough understanding of Iris''s psychology. ?Its current state is somewhat similar to Augustine who was defeated by [Hui Siming] at that time. ??They all believe that the current [City of Giant Woods] is hopeless, so they are forced to place their hopes in the future, trying to retain as much fire and power as possible. ?This idea itself is okay. But now, isnt this the arrival of Xia En? He is here, relying on the immortality ability of Yan Yan and [Projection Body], even if he cannot defeat [Giant Wood God], he will definitely cause him a lot of trouble. ?However, Iris didnt know much about Xia En and the others, so it was reasonable to dare not place a big bet on them. In Aeryss words, Shaan also heard a noteworthy name. The goddess of life? Isnt she an elf goddess? Besides, this name should be taboo in [City of Giant Trees], right? Iris replied: "In the mouth of the elves, she is naturally the elven goddess." But in fact, she is not only the mother goddess who created the elves, but also the mother of all living things in the world, the source of all living beings, and the authority over nature and life! ?When talking about the so-called "goddess of life", Iris'' tone suddenly became pious and respectful, not daring to blaspheme at all. This shows the important position of this **** in its heart. Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. The goddess of elves and the goddess of life sound like there is only one word difference. But the actual gap is as huge as a natural chasm! The status has been directly improved a lot! ?Xia En always thought that the Elf Goddess was just a deity of the Elf tribe. But judging from what Iris said, the other party is actually one of the creators of this world? ?Of course, as a believer, Aerys will definitely speak well of his god. Havent you seen that those small sects also like to apply words such as supreme and omnipotent to their own gods? ?The higher the status of the deity, the believers themselves will naturally be honored, even if they are blown out. ?However, based on the contact between Shane and Aerys, this old tree man does not seem to be the kind of person to boast. In other words, there may be some water in these words. But it should be true that the Elf Goddess is the Goddess of Life! ?Shaan frowned, feeling more and more confused. Since he crossed over, the name "Goddess of Life" has never been heard in the Seven Seas. ??If the Elf Goddess was just the **** of the elves, it would be reasonable for her to disappear with the demise of the elves. ??But how could a **** who controls such important authority as "life" disappear so completely, as if not even a trace exists? Can the power of [Huisi Ming] really be able to reach this level? ?Xia En always felt that there was a deeper secret behind this. ?While Shane was thinking about these questions, Aerys answered another of his questions. We can mention His name here because this black forest can resist the kingdom of the [Giant Wood God]. Although it cannot hinder the expansion of the [Giant Wood God], at least you dont have to worry about being captured by them just because of a name. A simple sentence is enough to explain the persecution and bitterness they have suffered in recent years as they adhere to their faith. Soon, Iris straightened his expression and asked. Outsider, now you know what you want to know. Are you still going to save old Hunter? Hearing this, Xia En fell into thinking. At the moment, Aeryss attitude is clear. ?Although it has an old relationship with Old Hunter, it is impossible to help due to its own position and status. For a while, Mumu could not find any other elders he could trust. On the contrary, the tree people who believe in the [Giant Wood God] account for the vast majority of the [Giant Tree City]. It can be said that their current situation is that they are surrounded by enemies and isolated! on the other hand. ??The original target, the Elf Temple, has been destroyed, and even the statue of the goddess has become a remnant of history. It seems that there is no point in continuing to struggle in the [City of Giant Woods]. but ?Shaan thought about the helping hand that Old Hunter had extended to him before, and then thought about the tragic situation of the entire city recorded in the photo stone, and finally let out a long breath and said firmly. Ill still go. Although the situation at this time was extremely bad, it had become a big and difficult problem. But he may not have no chance of winning! When he was only at the second level, Xia En dared to cause chaos in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. ??Now that his strength has become stronger, his courage has not become weaker! Furthermore, [City of Giant Woods] is suspected to be inextricably linked to [Dirty Siming]. Xia En has reasons to continue exploring, both emotionally and rationally. ??Taking a step back, wouldnt it be good to just use [City of Giant Woods] as a leveling point to increase the experience of Ship Soul? ?Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and said. Thanks to the elder for clarifying my doubts, I will take my leave now. Dont worry, I wont drag you down. Immediately, he turned to look at Mumu beside him: "Mumu, just stay here and don''t move around." With Elder Aeryss protection, you will be safe and sound. Youwhy Facing Xia Ens reaction, Iris was shocked and her eyes widened. ?It really couldnt understand why this outsider dared to say such words even though he was in such a desperate situation.????Simple recklessness? Foolish arrogance? Apparently not. Shaan obviously came up with this answer after thinking deeply. ??Moreover, Iris also saw a resolute self-confidence in him. Its like having the confidence to face all difficulties and fight your way out! The former Iris also had this kind of strong confidence. ?However, as he grew older, the situation became worse and worse, and he was dragged down by other tree people, he gradually lost this confidence and became calm and cautious. In the end, he only dared to linger in this dark forest and became the so-called "hermit sect." This moment. ??Yris suddenly realized: "That''s it." So...am I already old? ?It was indeed moved by Xia En for a moment, but soon reason suppressed this impulse. It is no longer young. ?It represents not only himself, but all the sleeping tree people in this dark forest. So, it can no longer make a desperate move. Iris lowered his head slightly, looked at the dazed Mumu, and persuaded him. Little guy, youd better stay. We can persist in this forest for a long time, and maybe we can wait until a miracle comes. ?Unexpectedly, after Mumu heard this, she shook her head firmly. No, my benefactor, I want to go too. ?It asked Xia En: "Please take me with you!" ??This short tree man puffed up his chest: "I can''t watch Grandpa Hunter being executed and do nothing!" I would rather die in battle than rot like this. Im ready to wake up! Looking at its firm eyes, Xia En swallowed his words of persuasion. ?Besides, Iris'' heart was touched again. It vaguely saw the shadow of its friend Hunter when he was young from Mumu''s body. ??Has that young tree that just sprouted grown up? Thats fine. Aerys sighed, and a thick black branch fell off from his body. "This is my token, which represents my attitude. You guys, please bring it with you. Maybe... it will be of some use." After the three people left. ?Treant Wind walked to Aerys and whispered: "Lord Aerys, you can actually leave the Black Forest, right?" Iris did not deny it and said calmly: "That''s right, it''s just that all the tree people in the hermit sect will have to pay a very heavy price." I cant take that kind of risk with a slim chance of winning. Wen De said in a low voice: "They...really don''t even have a chance?" Really not. Iris said with a wry smile. Immediately, he raised his head and looked above his head. In the sea water above, there seemed to be tiny rays of light shining on this [City of Giant Woods], bringing some light. ?Seeing this scene, something happened, Iris added. Unless...a miracle happens. Another corner of [City of Giant Trees]. An open space called the "Execution Square" by the tree people. There are no trees in the open space, and there are some broken walls on all sides, standing there alone. ?The walls are swaying here and there, badly eroded by the sea water, and look abandoned for a long time. ??If Shane were here, he would be able to see... ?The layout of these broken walls has many similarities with the temple of the [Emerald Holy City]. In the mud and sand on the seabed, several fragments of what appear to be human-shaped sculptures can be seen. From these fragmentary clues, we can vaguely get a glimpse of the past glory of this place. But now, this place has become a place of execution. Several large tree guards nearly ten meters high are guarding the surroundings of the square. In the more peripheral areas, there are groups of tree people of different heights. ?Their purpose of coming here is simple. Thats why Im here to join in the fun! Just like in ancient times, when beheadings were carried out in the market, many people would watch. Executions in the City of Giant Trees were also considered a rare entertainment activity for tree people. ?Tree people live much longer than humans. Besides daily expansion and capturing sacrifices, you have to do something else. ?Watching the executioners'' executions is a good pastime. First of all, you can appreciate the ugliness of those die-hards. Secondly, it can also promote and strengthen the majesty of the [Giant Wood God]. ?Today, far more tree people came to watch this execution than usual. After all, Hunters name is still somewhat famous in [City of Giant Trees]. ??Treant people all know that it is an old antique among the conservatives, and it is still very hot-tempered. In the eyes of the reformists, it has long been like a thorn in the flesh, and it is difficult to remove it quickly. At this moment. Surrounded by everyone, Hunter''s body was bound by countless vines and he was forced to kneel in the center of the square. ?Above, the tree man presiding over the execution had a sad expression on his face. Hunter, I never expected that you would protect those insidious humans and allow them to harm our companions. You have made such a big mistake, is there anything else you want to say? Hunter stared at the tree man and snorted coldly. Hmph, Fana, your acting skills are getting better and better. Even I was fooled by you. Now, do you want to confuse right and wrong again? The tree man who executed it was none other than his former comrade-in-arms, Elder Fana. Hearing this, Fanas expression did not change: Old Hunter, I dont understand what you are talking about. After several young tree peoples reports, your crime has been confirmed. What are you still trying to quibble about? The young tree people mentioned by Fana are none other than Nigel, Golisi and others. At this time, they also stood in a corner of the square and watched. Hunter glanced at a few people with his peripheral vision, and suddenly felt as if he was more sad than dead. The younger generation is the hope of a race. But now, most of them have fallen into the arms of the [Giant Tree God], and there are fewer and fewer young tree people who stick to their faith. Does the tree people really have a future? (End of this chapter) Chapter 244 Time is starting to flow backwards! Chapter 244 Time is starting to flow backwards! Looking at the many young tree people watching, Old Hunter couldn''t help but think of his grandson Mumu. ?That was also the only person that Old Hunter could not let go of in [City of Giant Trees]. I hope Mumu can be smarter and know how to go to the Black Forest to find Iris. Old Hunter secretly prayed: "If it hides in the dark forest, it should be able to last longer, right?" Although living is painful in itself, there is no hope after death. "Mumu, you must live..." ??Just as Old Hunter was performing his final prayers, Fanner in the center of the execution square seemed too lazy to conduct any more meaningless interrogations. From the moment Hunter was brought to this square, the outcome of this trial was already determined! Therefore, Fana pronounced the verdict. Elder Hunter harbored the humans who harmed our compatriots, and the evidence of his crime is conclusive! According to the laws of [City of Giant Woods], the death penalty should be imposed! As soon as its voice fell, the tree people around it suddenly felt like they were in a state of excitement, with excited and cruel emotions showing in their empty eyes. It''s like they''ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Immediately afterwards, the tree people began to shout. Execution!! Execution! Execution! Execution! At first, only one or two tree men shouted. ?But soon, many tree people joined in, and the shouts of "execution" quickly became one, echoing on the ruins of the Elven Temple. The "capital punishment" mentioned by Fana is the most cruel punishment among tree people. Since the vitality of tree people is much stronger than that of humans, their fatal injuries are also very different from humans. ??The most cruel and efficient way to execute a tree man is to use huge force to tear the victim''s body into countless pieces. It has something in common with the human punishments of "breaking a chariot into pieces" and "dividing a body into pieces by five horses". Old Hunter looked at the tree people around him, seeing the fanaticism and violence on their faces, and felt cold all over his body. ?Those once-familiar faces now look so unfamiliar. Their expressions are highly similar, as if they were carved from the same mold. ??Its like At this moment, there was a huge and cruel will that completely covered the original spirit of the tree people. In other words, the tree people have become part of that will and an extension of its soul! But about this, these tree people who accepted the [Seed of Life] knew nothing about it. Hunter suddenly felt very sad. Feeling sad both for myself and for the fate of this [city of giant trees]. At this time, several executioners had already stretched out their vines towards Hunter and gradually tightened the branches of the old tree man. ?Hunter sighed and prepared to face the last moments of his life. But at this moment. ?Over the execution square, a bright and hot fire suddenly exploded. It is hard to imagine that such a flame could be blazing in this deep seabed. In an instant, the dim square was illuminated by firelight. ?Such a change also interrupted the shouts of the tree people, slightly diluting the weird and cruel evil atmosphere. ?They opened their eyes wide and looked at the water above. ??I saw a tall figure wrapped in flames standing there. A handsome sunny face was gradually exposed in the firelight. ?Beside him, even the sea water was ignited by fire, and the water temperature was slowly rising, making all the tree people feel a little uncomfortable. Is it human!? But whats that flame? Theres actually a flame that can ignite the sea! Is that fire? This is the first time Ive seen it For these tree people living in the underwater forest, "flame" is an extremely rare existence. For the younger generation of tree people, it was the first time for many of them to see this kind of thing with their own eyes. Just like the shock when humans saw electricity for the first time, the impact they received when they saw flames was equally great. ?Faunas eyes flashed with surprise, and he murmured: Actually a human again? ?For a long time in the past, no human being dared to come to the sea area where the [City of Giant Woods] was located, let alone go deep into this forest. But in the past two days, two people have sneaked into the [City of Giant Trees] one after another. Furthermore, both of them seem to have very extraordinary abilities. This seems unusual. ?However, the arrival of this human being just proves Hunters crime of colluding with humans! ?Faner snorted coldly: "Hunter, this must be the human accomplice who is colluding with you!" It seems that they still want to rescue you. Its okay to let that man escape by chance before, but he still dares to come to the execution square. How audacious! Enter the executioner! Kill him for me! ?Faner''s words are undoubtedly characterizing the matter and directly put the flame man in a hostile position. Hearing his order, the tree people called executioners did not hesitate and rushed directly towards the man on the top. The biggest difference between Executioners and other tree people is that their bodies are often integrated with other creatures. They are the tree people that Xia En saw before, parasitic on sea creatures. Some are fish, and some are shrimps and crabs. Some others control the human body. While they occupy the bodies of other creatures, they also maintain their strange activity, giving them special abilities that ordinary tree people do not have. It can be said that the executioner is the elite monster among the tree people! ?While many executioners rushed towards Yan Yan, a clear and steady voice suddenly sounded around the execution square. ?The sound was not too loud, but it was enough to cover the entire square, and it was difficult to determine the source of the sound. Stupid tree people, you have been deceived by the [Giant Wood God] for too long! Everything you see and hear is false. The so-called gods and the so-called greatness are nothing but a fictitious fraud! And now, I will show you the truth! ??Although this voice only said a few words, it caused an uproar among the tree people. ?Like pouring a bowl of cold water into a frying pan. For the tree people who have accepted the "Seed of Life", the "Giant Wood God" has long become the most noble and greatest existence in their minds. At this time, these words are undoubtedly blasphemous to the [Giant Wood God]! ? No believer can tolerate his or her **** being slandered and slandered by others! As a result, the entire tree people in the Execution Square were boiling. And the first thing to bear the brunt is naturally the flames rising from high places. Many tree people believe that he was the one who said the blasphemous words just now. Under the hostile gazes of many tree men, Yan Yan''s expression did not change. Just kidding, he has been frozen on the ice and snow island for who knows how many years, so he still has some determination. ?Taking this opportunity, Yan Yan followed the captain''s instructions and activated the image stone that he had previously held in his hand. The next moment. A huge light curtain appeared next to Yan Yan. The picture presented is exactly part of Xian Ges memory. Due to the reflection of the firelight, this light curtain looks extremely eye-catching in the sea water. ?Not only the onlookers in the Execution Square, but also some of the tree people in the forest further away saw the picture on the light screen. This is... [City of Giant Woods]? What on earth does that guy want to do? At first glance at the scene on the light screen, the tree people were generally more confused than surprised, and they were somewhat indifferent, thinking that this was Yan Yan''s way of delaying time. Just very quickly, when the picture began to change, the tree people couldn''t help but be stunned. They saw that the lush woods turned into a deformed and ugly carpet of flesh. The thriving tree men turned into rotting mummies. The great and noble [Giant Wood God] turned into a huge tumor-shaped heart! Lord, what on earth is this? ?Seeing the scene in the light curtain, the tree man couldn''t help but exclaimed. When Xia En saw these pictures, he was greatly shocked. Not to mention these aboriginal people who originally lived in [City of Giant Trees]. ?Old Hunter stared blankly at the light screen and murmured desperately. Is that really the case? It turns out that [City of Giant Woods] has become like this Even though Hunter had expected the truth of [Seed of Life], the image displayed in the light screen still gave him a strong shock. ?However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect tree people to change their deep-rooted ideas with just a light screen. Soon, Fana shouted: "Don''t panic!" Thats just an illusion displayed by despicable humans! Think about it carefully, how could the real [City of Giant Woods] look like that? ?Faner''s rake was surprisingly effective. After all, compared to a strange outsider, the tree people obviously trust the respected elders within the clan more. Yan Yan''s actions of "making up lies" and "performing illusions" were immediately regarded by the tree people as a more serious act of blasphemy, which aroused their anger. Thats right, that must be a fake! Human beings are indeed despicable and shameless, so sacrifice him to the [Giant Wood God] and wash away this sin with his blood! ?So, the tree people attacked Yan Yan like crazy. In an instant, Yan Yan was surrounded by a sea of ??trees that Xia En encountered last time! ?However, facing the surging enemies, Yan Yan was not afraid at all. ??More and more flames rose from his body, violently devouring all the trees near him... When the tree people''s attention was attracted by the flames in the sea. In the Execution Square below. Two figures were quickly approaching Old Hunter, who was bound in place by vines. Grandpa Hunter, we are here to save you! Hearing this voice, Hunter suddenly woke up from his dejected state. Mumu?! Why are you here? Mumu said: Of course Im here to save you! ?At this time, Hunter also noticed Xia En next to Mumu, and immediately guessed the general context of the matter. Young man, did you prepare that light curtain too? Xia En nodded and said, "It''s me." However, Senior Hunter, you should be able to tell that it is not an illusion, right? Hunter nodded heavily: "Yes, that is probably the true face of [City of Giant Woods] now." Its a pity that you came too late. If you had come a few decades earlier, you might have made many tree people realize the truth. But now Hunter looked at the angry and fanatical tree men, and his heart became heavier. Even if they see the truth, they wont believe it. Shane said while cutting down the vines around Hunter, "I know." In fact, he had no intention of letting the tree people recognize the reality just based on the picture of the shadow stone. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. The tree people in [City of Giant Trees] actually have this mentality. Coupled with the control of [Seed of Corruption], it is almost impossible to get them to change their minds. ?Xia Ens original intention was just to attract the hatred of tree people. ??If by the way it can plant a seed of truth in the hearts of some sober tree people, that would be great. ??Although the actions of Shane and the two were secretive, Faner had also been paying attention to the bound Hunter. So, they had just untied the vines around Hunter. Faner noticed the strange movement here and shouted angrily: "Hunter, do you want to escape?" Since most of the executioners were dealing with the flames above, the defense force in the square was extremely limited. Fana simply strode over by himself. Surrounding him, other tree men began to surround him. ??Although Xia En''s combat power is strong, he will definitely not be able to run fast with Hunter and Mu Mu. So, he made a prompt decision and directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and opened the door to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Get in quickly! Hearing this, Hunter and the other two did not hesitate and broke into the silver light door directly. The moment he sent the two people away, Fana had already arrived in front of Xia En. ?The unusually thick branch arm was swung out boldly! Boom! ?Xia En did not dodge or evade, and punched Fana forcefully. The sea water surges and rolls, stirring up a large amount of sediment in an instant. ?Fana took a step back, while Shane took a few steps back. In terms of pure strength, he actually fell into a disadvantage! This means that, in terms of rank, Fana is at least a fifth- or sixth-level existence! ?However, Shane is smaller and more agile. It is obviously unrealistic for Fana to keep him. At the moment, Old Hunter is safe, and Shane can actually retreat. But suddenly. As the sand rolled, Xia En saw a fragment of the statue buried under the sand. It was a half-broken womans face. Xia En recognized it at the first sight. It was the fragment of the statue of the Elf Goddess! There is a mysterious smile hanging on the corner of the goddess''s mouth. Her current state can only be described as miserable and pitiful. By some strange coincidence, Xia En took out the silver pocket watch that he had always kept on his body. The next moment. A "click" sound. ?The hands of the silver pocket watch stopped and were frozen at this moment. ?Not just the pocket watch, but everything around Sean, the passionate tree people, the angry fanar, the flames burning in the sea... Everything is fixed at this moment. But then, the pointer began to move in the counterclockwise direction. ?The sand gradually receded, and the statue fragments hidden around gathered together to form the appearance of a god. ?The broken walls on all sides were repaired and restored by invisible forces, transforming it back into a majestic and tall temple. Time is starting to flow backwards! (End of this chapter) Chapter 245 When we walk into history again Chapter 245 When we enter history again Silver-grey secret power spreads in the sea water. Covering everything in this square with a mysterious color. ?The color is like crystal, diamond or silver. Under the influence of this mysterious power, not only did the surrounding things freeze quickly, but the Elf Temple here was also "rebuilt" in an incredible manner! ?Oh no, rather than "rebuilding", it''s more like making this temple... Go back to the state before it was destroyed? ! Wait, look below! In the square... Oh God, what on earth is this ??The tree people above who were fighting Yan Yan were not stagnated immediately due to the distance. So, they were able to see this incredible scene The entire square was dyed silver gray. The glorious temple that had been lost long ago and existed only in legends and memories rose up out of thin air in the silvery gray light. Is that hall the elven temple? Thats the statue of the goddess of life! Soon, the mood of the tree people changed from shock to intense panic. Even though these tree people have accepted the [Seed of Life] and become believers of the [Giant Wood God]. But no matter what, the goddess of life is the mother goddess of the tree people and occupies an extremely important position in their long history. In legend, the oldest tree man was transformed from a leaf of the goddess of life. In fact, if the power of the goddess of life had not become weaker and weaker over the years, the tree people would not even be able to hear his voice, and they would not embark on this path of betrayal. At present, the reconstruction of the Elf Temple and the gaze of the goddess statue are obviously regarded as a miracle by many tree people! ?So now, will the goddess of life impose divine punishment on them? ?Just thinking about this possibility makes many tree people feel uneasy and panicked. Among them, Fana, Nigel, and Gelis, who had recently turned their backs on trees, showed the strongest expression. How is it possible? Hasnt the goddess of life already... Fanas eyes widened in astonishment. But soon, it crept down like crazy and begged with the utmost piety. Goddess, please forgive me for my crime. I was forced to... However, before Fana finished speaking, a silvery gray mysterious power enveloped it, freezing it in the moment of kneeling down to pray. ?Like a ridiculous and sad sculpture. ?Not only Fana, but also the other tree people in the square came to a standstill under the influence of the silver-grey secret power. At this time. The tree people above the square saw a scene they would never forget. I saw that the companions covered in silver and gray seemed to have shed a layer of false shells, revealing their true appearance - On the deformed and filthy carpet of flesh. Surrounded by weird, ugly, flesh-like and plant-like beings. The dry and rotting mummies were making shrill, silent wails. This, this Nigel looked at this scene blankly: "How did they become like this?" A ridiculous idea emerged unconsciously. Could it be true what those humans just said? ??If we talk about the light curtain shown by Xia En and Yan Yan before, it can also be explained by illusion. ?So now, the picture that is affected by the power of the goddess of life and appears, is it also part of the illusion? Shu people''s hearts inevitably felt strongly shaken. at the same time. Yan Yan, who was surrounded by tree people, suddenly exerted his strength, moved quickly, and blazing flames surged out, burning all enemies that stood in his way. And the direction he was heading towards was the gate of the Elf Temple. ?With the last experience, Yan Yan naturally knew that this silver-gray substance was Captain Xia En''s mysterious method of returning to the past. As the only crew member currently accompanying the captain, of course he has the obligation to go forward and retreat with Xia En! Something strange happened soon. ?That silver-gray secret power obviously has the ability to freeze time and space, but when it fell on Yan Yan, it unexpectedly had no effect. Its like Time has not left the slightest trace on him. ?In this way, while Yin Hui''s secret power expanded outward, Yan Yan came to Xia En''s side without any hindrance. ?This scene made Xia Ens eyelids twitch. ?However, Yan Yan is his teammate after all, so Xia En won''t panic. Actually, Xia En was completely unprepared for the changes in [Instant Time] and the retrieval of the Elf Temple and the God Statue. He never thought that such a change would suddenly occur. But think about it carefully. ?Shaan suspected that the source of this power to retrace time and space may not be the silver pocket watch, but... The power of the goddess of life! It is impossible for the Goddess of Life to not pay attention to the former temple and this [City of Giant Woods]. It is very possible that when the goddess of life left, she left a secret and special power in the temple. ?It wasn''t until Xia En''s arrival that he took the silver pocket watch as an opportunity to activate this magical power. Finally achieved the miracle of traveling through time and space. From a certain perspective, this is indeed a miracle. ?Thinking about it this way, there was a similar principle in the Elf Temple in [Emerald Ancient City]. ?This can also explain why there is no talk about traveling through time and space in the description of [Instant Time]. It can be said that the silver pocket watch is just the key to open the door to the past. ?The remaining power in the Elf Temple is the source of time and space retrieval. ?Many distracting thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. Soon, he put away his distracting thoughts, turned his head and looked at the door of the temple in front of him, and said decisively. Yan Yan, lets go! Having come here, is there any reason to retreat? Immediately, the two figures walked into the depths of the temple one after another... ! Dong dong dong! At the same time as the statue of the goddess was being remodelled. In the center of [City of Giant Woods], the huge, tumor-shaped heart suddenly began to beat very dullly. Each blow seemed to hit the [Seed of Corruption] in the bodies of the tree people. The tree people nearby naturally felt a strong sense of panic, and their whole bodies were shaking like chaff. Whats going on? I feel...the wrath of the Lord! Has anyone committed an act of blasphemy? ??The tree priests who were closer to the heart were panicked. This is the first time since they took this position that they feel the wrath of the gods. At this moment, a tree man with a unique appearance spoke. Dont panic. Just a few annoying little bugs. ??This tree man has a very different appearance from its kind. The left half of its body is completely consistent with that of a human, but the right half of its body still retains the characteristics of a tree man. Half man and half tree. The two are combined in a way that is completely separated and contradictory, giving people an indescribable and strange feeling. The surrounding tree people were all much taller than this half-human, half-tree alien in terms of size and height, but they all showed respect and fear for this person. They quickly responded: "Yes, great priest." In the [City of Giant Trees], the high priest is the tree man closest to the [Giant Wood God]. ? It was also once regarded as the incarnation of the will of the [Giant Wood God] and the agent of the god. I will personally take action and use my absolute strength to tell the remnants of the old era that the new era has arrived! The great priest said calmly: "And [City of Giant Woods] has no ships to carry them!" Click! At the moment when the silver light spread across the execution square. ??Yris in the black forest suddenly opened his eyes. ?The old and withered face showed an extremely strong surprise. Without hesitation, it began to pull out the roots buried under the sand, and conveyed its will to all the tree people in the black forest. Lets go! Today is the moment to decide the fate of [City of Giant Woods]! In fact, Iris is not unable to move, but it requires a huge price ?Its roots have become integrated with this black forest, and are intricately tangled in the mud. In other words, if Iris wants to go somewhere, she must bring the entire black forest with her! At this time, following Iris''s actions, the surrounding seafloor immediately began to tremble. ??Many trees in the black forest are entangled by its roots and brought out of the sand. ?Such a big movement naturally woke up all the tree people in the black forest. ?Wend rushed to Aerys side first and couldnt help but feel puzzled. ??Bi Jiong, before, Elder Yliss was still unwilling to go to war. Why did he change so suddenly? Wen De asked cautiously: "Sir, what happened?" Why did you suddenly decide to take action? You also mobilized the tree people in the entire forest..." Iris looked towards the direction of the execution square, still muttering in disbelief: "A miracle! They really brought a miracle!" And this is our only chance. A sharp look flashed across its face and it said firmly. Since we want to bet, we must put all the bets on it! Xia En naturally knew nothing about the changing situation in [City of Giant Woods] at this time. When he entered the Elf Temple and looked into the eyes of the statue. ?It seems like a very short second has passed, and it seems like an extremely long century has passed. ?Shane opened his eyes. There are no crazy tree men around, and there is no silver-grey brilliance anymore. Instead, there is a clean and tidy Elf Temple. Looking out through the door and windows, the outside world is a dense forest, and it seems to be raining heavily. ?With the experience of traveling through time last time, Xia En calmed down a lot. But he couldn''t help but let out a long breath and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, I went back to the past again. ?Although Xia En still hasnt figured out the principle of traveling through time and space, these two encounters show that he is on the right track. As long as you continue to explore other elven temples, there is the possibility of going back to the past. I dont know if I can see Laila in this day and age? Xia En thought to himself: "Or...change history!?" The destruction of the elves seems to be an established fact. If you want to change this, you can only start from history. But what worries Xia En is still the closing effect of the timeline, or in other words, the inevitability of history. If everything he did in the past would be in vain and ruthlessly erased by history, would it still be meaningful? Xia En was inevitably worried about this. ?However, he has experienced so many things and his mind has long become very determined. Of course, he will not stop moving forward just because of worries. After putting aside his distracting thoughts, Xia En took out two black robes and put them on himself and Yan Yan like last time. Lets just pretend its a disguise. At this time. ?There was a sound of footsteps outside the temple. How could we meet someone else by chance? Xia En thought for a while and hid in the corner of the hall with Yan Yan. After all, their current image is really unflattering, and they are the kind of people who would have no problem being regarded as suspects as "little black men". Soon, a steady male voice sounded first. Its raining so hard, Your Highness, why dont you take shelter in this temple for a while? Immediately, another younger voice responded: "Uncle George, just call me young master outside." But why dont we use magic to block the rain? George replied: "After all, this is the territory of the elves. Using unnatural spells rashly will easily arouse the hostility of the tree people and elves." You have a special status and need to be more careful... While talking, the two of them had already arrived in the hall of the temple. ??The man walking in front was a man with a short beard and a long sword on his waist. He seemed to be in his prime and had a very vigorous temperament. At a glance, you can tell that he is a "knight" or a "guard". Behind him, followed a handsome and weak young man. The young man is dressed in a noble manner, and the clothes on his body are of exquisite workmanship. Combined with the titles of "Your Highness" and "Young Master" just now, it is obvious that his status is either rich or noble. The only shortcoming is that this young man seems a little too immature, as if he has not experienced many hardships and tests. Since he was just here to take shelter from the rain, there was certainly no need for Xia En to do anything. Just when he was planning to wait quietly for the heavy rain to stop and for the two of them to leave. George''s hawk-like eyes swept across the hall, seeing some water stains remaining on the ground and smelling the fishy smell of sea water. That was a little bit of sea water that Xia En and Yan Yan brought with them when they traveled through. Suddenly, George''s expression changed and he looked towards the corner of the hall. Who is it? Come out! As he spoke, he had already drawn the long sword from his waist. ?The sharp meaning made Xia En raise his eyebrows. ?Judging from the aura displayed by the other party, he is at least a fifth-level powerhouse! How come you are so strong when you meet a stranger? ?Xia En complained secretly, but soon regained his balance. After all, we are living in a strange history, so it might not be surprising to encounter legends! Thinking about it for a while, I didnt do anything bad anyway. Xia En simply walked out openly and said, "We are also here to take shelter from the rain." It just happened to happen, no offense intended. ?George looked suspicious and a little unbelieving. ??The appearance of these two people wearing black robes looked suspicious. ??But if the killer was trying to kill His Highness, he should have made a sneak attack long ago. At this time, the young man who seemed to be a noble looked at Xia En and the two of them curiously. Are you also visitors to this meeting of nations? (End of this chapter) Chapter 246 Gathering of Nations, Dark Elves Chapter 246: Conference of All Nations, Dark Elves Conference of Nations? Hearing this unfamiliar term, Xia En''s heart moved. From this name, it is not difficult to tell that this seems to be a meeting held by multiple kingdoms together. ?Perhaps a joint conference like the World Expo on Earth? ??If Xia En guessed correctly, the time point of his time travel should be after the [Wrath of God] occurred in [Emerald Island]. In this era, the continent was dotted with kingdoms of various sizes. Each race also has its own country. Unlike later generations, the vast sea made communication between islands more difficult. There will be exchanges and communication between these kingdoms, which is normal. But, what makes Xia En a little curious is... ??Why is the Conference of Nations held in the Elf Clans [City of Giant Trees]? ? Could this be related to the [Husi Ming] who spied on the world? ??While Shane was thinking about these questions in his mind, the suspicion in the eyes of guard George became stronger. ?Hide ones head but reveal ones tail, and the identity is unknown. At the moment, it takes me a long time to answer such a simple question. ?It''s getting more and more suspicious. Thinking of this, George silently took half a step forward, guarding the young man behind him, and prepared to leave. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?Shane soon realized that he had hesitated for too long, arousing George''s suspicions again. ? He ??originally wanted to avoid these two people, but now that they have been discovered, it is better to simply regard them as the source of information to integrate into this era faster. As his mind turned, Xia En spoke. Yes, we are tourists attending a conference. I just happened to see this elven temple, so I came in to take a look. ?The noble boy''s reaction was obviously a little slow. He didn''t notice anything unusual, but asked curiously. Then which country are you from? Xia En was startled. This shows the disadvantages of not knowing much about history. ?How does he know what kind of kingdom there is in this era? Wait a minute, there seem to be two of them? One is the Kingdom of Southton, which later became the [Coral City], and the other is the Kingdom of Turin, which has close ties with An. The former is obviously a smaller country, while the latter is one of the top powers on the continent. ??In line with the idea of ??a fox pretending to be a tiger, Xia En said decisively: "We are people from the Kingdom of Turin." Just like traveling to a foreign country, naming the name of a big country is more confident than a small and insignificant country, right? But who knew that after hearing the name "Kingdom of Turin", the noble boy''s eyes lit up slightly. Great, it turns out he is a national of this country. We are also citizens of the Kingdom of Turin! The young man''s expression became much more relaxed, and his attitude became more natural, giving him a sense of familiarity as if he were meeting a fellow villager when he went out. George on the side is obviously not as easy to deceive as he is. Judging from the rich experience of this guard. ?It is not necessarily a good thing for a fellow villager to meet a fellow villager. If not, it may lead to a stabbing in the back. ?However, the simple noble boy didn''t think so much and said enthusiastically: "My name is Edward." This is my bodyguard George. What do you two call me? Upon seeing this, Xia En introduced him generously: "I am Xia En and he is Yan Yan." Yan Yan? What a strange name. ?Edward complained a little in his heart, and continued: "I''m from the royal capital, what about you?" ??Xia En only knew the name of the kingdom "Turin" and didn''t know anything about the country''s geography, so he could only speak. "We are from a small place in the countryside. Your Excellency Edward must have never heard of us." "impossible!" ??Edward said confidently: "I have memorized every province in the country since I was three years old, and I have also memorized the slightly larger towns." As long as you name it, I will definitely recognize it. ifier ?Xia En took a breath, he didn''t expect this young man to be so serious. Its just a place name, do we still need to study it in depth? Fortunately, at this moment, George''s cold snort interrupted Edward''s question: "Master! You have said enough!" Obviously, Edward''s true identity was vaguely revealed in his words. But neither Xia En nor Yan Yan were from this era, so of course it was impossible for them to recognize anything. ?This guard is really a little too cautious. ?This on the contrary proves that Edward''s identity is extraordinary. As soon as this idea came to Xia En''s mind, he heard Edward ask in confusion: "Why...Mr. Yanyan, why are you always staring at me?" ?Xia En turned around and realized that Yan Yan was really staring at Edward intently. ?This surprised him. ?From getting along with each other during this period of time, Xia En has long discovered that Yan Yan''s personality is actually quite desireless. ?Its best to have food to eat and people to chat with on the boat. No one will pay attention to him, and he wont feel lonely when he is alone. He rarely showed Xia En what he wanted to do. Yanyan also has a very unique habit of watching the sunrise alone on the deck every morning. Shane asked him why he did this. Yan Yan said that during the years he spent on Ice and Snow Island, he watched the sun rise like this day after day. Otherwise, he seems to have completely lost track of the passage of time. Xia En guessed that it was because the years of being frozen were so long that Yan Yan lost the desires that normal humans should have and became a little sick. ?Perhaps he could even endure whole years without speaking a word. Go with the flow. Be content with the situation. This is Yan Yans current character. Thats why Xia En was particularly surprised when Yan Yan expressed his intention to burn down the [City of Giant Woods] last time. At this time, Yan Yan''s special attention to Edward surprised Xia En for the same reason. After a moment, Yan Yan said in a strange tone. "I think...this Mr. Edward, I seem to have seen him somewhere?" "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, realizing that something was unusual. He looked at Edward carefully and then discovered... He actually thought this young man looked familiar? It was strange that Yan Yan alone felt familiar, and Xia En himself made the matter even more confusing. At this time, George quickly stepped forward and looked at the two of them warily. ?He suspected that His Royal Highness Edward''s true identity had been exposed, and the enemies of these two people were unknown. Perhaps, he should take action in advance... Just when George held the sword at his waist. ?Edward said, "Uncle George, step back." "Don''t worry, I can see that there is no hostility between these two gentlemen." So...itll be okay. ??The boy''s voice is still very young, but it has a touch of firmness and a kind of silent confidence. His serious demeanor was also slightly different from his previous innocent look. From him, George somehow seemed to see the shadow of the man in charge of the entire kingdom, and he couldn''t help but sigh secretly in his heart. Your Highness, you have grown up after all. George retreated, guarding behind Edward like a shadow, but no longer interfered with Edward''s judgment and actions. Thank you, Uncle George. After thanking him gently and politely, Edward turned to look at Shane: "Reintroduce yourself." I am Edward Phoenix, and I am also the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin. The reason why you recognize me is probably because you have seen my portrait in China. Yan Yan: ?Shaan: Although Edward''s words were very magnanimous, they perfectly reflected the style of a prince. ??But both Xia En and Yan Yan knew clearly that they thought Edward looked familiar, and it definitely had nothing to do with the identity of the other prince. Edward obviously misunderstood! ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. He was also helpless. Why did he meet a prince just after traveling through time? ??Moreover, judging from the guarding attitude of George and his ranking as "Fifth Prince". ?The prince''s situation is obviously not very good! Maybe there will be assassins ready to kill you at any time! It may not be a good thing to get acquainted with such a prince. ?However, since Edward was so candid, Shane can''t blame him for this, right? At this time. ??A shout came from outside the Elf Temple. Who is trespassing in the temple? Tell me your name! ??The tone of the voice sounded a bit strange at first, but Xia En was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. This is Elvish! ?Shaan glanced at the panel and found that [Elvish Language (Proficient) (Temporary)] reappeared. It seems that as he travels back to the past, this skill is also freed from the constraints of this world. Beside him, Yan Yan and Edward also understood the question. As a prince in this era, mastering a few foreign languages ??is considered a required course. ?Edward frowned, instinctively feeling a little weird, but he still responded loudly in Elvish. We dont mean to offend, we are just taking shelter from the rain here. Hearing his voice, several elves walked in from outside the hall. ?Seeing these four people, the leader of the elf said sternly: "Who gave you the courage to enter and leave the elf temple at will?" Come here, arrest them! "Since tomorrow is the day when the Elf Queen ascends the throne, we won''t punish you severely. We will simply put you in confinement for half a day." Hearing this, Xia En also vaguely felt that something was wrong. ?The last time he passed through the Elven Temple of the Emerald Island, there was no rule of entry or exit. In fact, there were no guards in the previous temple, and anyone could freely see the statue of the goddess of life. According to Laila, this seems to be a special custom among the elves. After all, with the blessing of the goddess of life, it is impossible for outsiders to cause any damage to this temple. There are no other valuable things in the temple, so even if you want to steal anything, it is unrealistic. So, in Shanes opinion. The appearance of this group of elves at the moment is a bit too coincidental. ?Xia En looked at the elves'' costumes and became more and more suspicious. Suddenly, he remembered the [Eye of True Seeing] that Xian Ge had used before. At this time, now that I have mastered the Elvish language again, can I use this skill? Thinking of this, Xia En did not hesitate and secretly recited the spell that Xian Ge had recited. Soon, dark golden runes rotated in his eyes. He also saw clearly the true face of these elves... The other side. Neither Edward nor George thought of resisting these elves. The reason is simple. ?This is the country of elves! It is a very unwise choice to have a conflict with the elves here. Not to mention, if you have to do the math, they were indeed at fault in this matter. I broke into someone elses temple to take shelter from the rain, and I happened to be hit. I should be punished. ?And half a day of confinement is not a serious punishment, it will be over after a while. ?With this idea of ??calming the situation, George did not pull out his long sword and allowed the elves to approach him. This weapon has been confiscated first, is that okay? An elf said calmly. ??Although George was unwilling, he did not dare to go against the elf, so he had to acquiesce to the other party to take away his weapons. Just as the elf''s palm gradually approached the hilt of the sword. Xia En, who was behind him, suddenly shouted: "Yan Yan, take action!" Yan Yan had complete trust in Xia En and punched the nearest elf without hesitation. ?The flames directly wrapped around the opponent''s body. George couldn''t help but was stunned. ??Are you guys so crazy? ! How dare you attack the elves in [City of Giant Woods]? Soon, the elf next to him seemed to realize that the situation had changed. He stretched out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed George straight into the heart! ?This sting made George realize that it was strange. ??The way the opponent holds the dagger is not at all like the fighting skills of the normal elves, but more like the killers he has come into contact with many times. Thats not right! They are not elves! ?George woke up immediately, roared angrily, turned sideways, and narrowly avoided the fatal blow. But the dagger still made a deep wound on his waist and abdomen. ?George pulled out his long sword and chopped off the head of the man in front of him with one blow. When the man''s head rolled to the ground, his skin color suddenly turned light gray. The appearance of the whole person has also undergone subtle changes, his temperament has become cold, and his pupils have turned into a faint blue color. Dark Elf! George''s expression suddenly changed. ?Although this race has the word "elf" in it, in essence, they are two completely different races. It is said that in those ancient years, some elves betrayed the goddess of life and were expelled to the dark underground. ?In that difficult environment, these elven traitors not only did not die, but underwent transformations they had never imagined, and prayed to another underground god. From then on, a new group of elves were born. They gave themselves the name "Darkness" not only to commemorate the past history, but also to engrave the hatred between them and the elves. In some people, they are also called "drow", which means people who have returned from the darkness. ??It''s just that, compared to this incident and his own injuries, George was more concerned about the safety of His Royal Highness Edward. He turned his head and looked. ??I saw a figure wearing a black robe already standing in front of Edward. Several dark elves holding weapons bumped into him, as if they had hit an indestructible wall and flew out directly. T! At this moment, a dark elf lurking in the shadows suddenly appeared behind Xia En and stabbed him fiercely with the dagger in his hand... (End of this chapter) Chapter 247 [City of Giant Woods] in History Chapter 247 [City of Giant Trees] in History "careful" Edward only had time to utter an exclamation. ?The ghostly dark elf was already approaching Xia En. Just the next moment. Dang! ?In the astonished eyes of Edward, George, and many dark elves. ?The dagger that fell on Xia En, instead of cutting his flesh and blood and piercing his flesh, was blocked by a seemingly slender finger. The collision of flesh and blood produced the sound of gold and iron clashing. Immediately, the dagger deformed and twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally broke into pieces! ?This guy''s body is so strong! ? Poor disguise. After giving such an evaluation, Xia En took a step forward, the shadow condensed into a blade, and directly cut the assassin''s throat. There was a "chi" sound, and blood splattered everywhere. ??If the dark elf had used other methods, Shane might have suffered a small loss. But he used an ability similar to [Shadow Walking]! ?After using [Twilight Black Pearl] to unlock the skill of [Great Dark Sky], Xia En completely understood the [Book of Shadows] and gained a profound knowledge of the power of shadows. So, the moment the assassin''s ability was activated, Xia En was aware of it and defeated it directly with his powerful body. Impossible, this power He is also favored by the shadow! ??However, what Xia En didn''t expect was that the moment he used the Shadow Blade. ??The remaining dark elves suddenly changed their expressions and looked at him with fear and disbelief. Even with a hint of awe. In fact, the **** that the dark elves worship is none other than the shadow **** of the Underdark. ?At the moment, Xia En has shown a mastery of shadow control that is better than theirs, which inevitably makes these people feel confused. ?However, with Xia En and Yan Yan taking action, the overall situation has actually been decided. ??The combat power of this group of assassins is not very strong, generally only around the fourth level. Otherwise, there is no need to use disguises to make George and others relax their vigilance. George quickly joined the battle after the initial surprise and killed several assassins one after another. The fighting prowess of the fifth-level swordsman is fully demonstrated. What surprised Xia En. ?Although these dark elves already know that their actions have been exposed, judging from the comparison of combat power, they are bound to lose. But no one surrendered, but all chose to fight to the end. Even worse, some committed suicide by taking poison when they were about to be captured, leaving no one alive in the end. They are... dead soldiers? ?Xia En looked at the corpses on the ground, touched his chin and thought. ??Death warriors, as the name suggests, are warriors trained by certain forces to perform missions that require death. He and Yan Yan had just arrived and had not had time to provoke such a big force. Obviously, it was Edward, the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin, who attracted these assassins. At this time, Edward had just treated George''s wounds briefly, and after making sure that his body was fine, he immediately saluted Xia En solemnly. Thank you both for your help. This attack was directed at me, and Im really sorry that it implicated you two. ?Xia En waved his hand and said casually: "It''s just a small matter." They want to kill us, we have to protect ourselves, right? But, who are these dark elves? How come they appear in [City of Giant Woods]? ?Shane stepped forward just now and blocked the assassin''s sneak attack, which was equivalent to saving Edward''s life. Towards his savior, Edward''s attitude was more respectful and he knew everything he knew. They should come from the [Shadow Killing Society] on the mainland. This is a killer organization with a good reputation. As for why you want to kill me Edward hesitated for a moment, but said: "One possibility is that my brothers and sisters did it." Another possibility is that they want to hinder the enthronement ceremony of the Elf Queen tomorrow? Maybe its both ?His tone was also a little uncertain. After all, these assassins committed suicide so decisively that it is difficult not to make people suspect that they had a larger conspiracy. The enthronement of the Elf Queen? ?Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. When he heard this word from the dark elf before, he felt a little strange. ?Isnt she the Elf Queen? When did another Elf Queen appear? And... ascend the throne? This means that this [city of giant trees] was previously without a king? Is it because something happened to the previous Elf Queen? ?During his last time travel, Shane got a rough understanding of the origins of the elves on the [Emerald Island] from Laila. ??The elves on that island are actually just a branch of the elves. In order to avoid disasters, they moved to the "Emerald Island" several times. Unexpectedly, I still couldnt avoid [Gods Wrath]. ??And will other elven cities encounter similar disasters? Seeing that Xia En was deep in thought, Edward continued to explain. There is an irresolvable hatred between the dark elves and the elves. And I am just a prince. If I die in the elves territory, the Kingdom of Turin will definitely not be in peace. Especially at the time of Her Majestys accession to the throne. ?Shaan nodded, feeling that Edward''s guess was reasonable. ?However, he was not that interested in the love and hatred between the two races, so he asked instead. What is the origin of this new elf queen? ?Edward thought: "Actually, I don''t know much about her. I only know that she is an elf who has just emerged recently and has extraordinary talents." "Accepted by the Elf Mother Tree, the Goddess of Life and a group of elders, and was finally elected as the Queen of [City of Giant Trees]." ?Xia En was secretly stunned. The approval of the Elf Mother Tree and the Goddess of Life is not light at all. No wonder she is qualified to become the Queen of Elf. ??Xia En also wanted to ask if there were any signs of any strange events in the City of Giant Trees. But at this moment, a group of elves broke in at the gate of the temple. Seeing the scene in the temple, the elves couldn''t help but frown. ??The originally sacred and quiet temple was littered with several corpses, and the dirty blood stained the sanctity of the place. ?However, after seeing the identity of the dead dark elf, the hostility on the faces of the elves dissipated a lot. Xia En glanced at them with the [Eye of True Sight], and after confirming that they were all genuine elves, he took the initiative to explain. This is what happened Not long. ?The rain outside the temple stopped unconsciously. ??The elves simply took Xia En and others out of the temple. They believed Xia En''s words easily. After all, the dark elves have always had enmity with them, and it is normal for them to want to do some tricks before the queen ascends the throne. Xia En and others were attacked on their own territory, and the elves were a little apologetic. "We will catch the mastermind behind this incident as soon as possible and give you justice." The headed elf promised seriously. Immediately, he looked at one of his subordinates behind him: "Kou Kou, take them to the Holy Court to rest." Yes! Captain! The person who answered was a young elf girl, wearing emerald green and silver armor, with a ponytail on the back of her head, and she had a rather heroic temperament. Soon, other elves started busy in the temple. It is not only to clean up the dirty blood stains, but also to search for clues. ?However, this has nothing to do with Shane. Everyone, please follow me. ?Following Kou Kous footsteps, a group of people walked through the forest. ??Taking this opportunity, Xia En also took a good look at the [City of Giant Woods] that had not yet been submerged by the sea. As the name of this city goes, the trees in the nearby forest are extremely huge. They are comparable to the trees on the island where the Cyclops was. Its just that, at the beginning, the trees on that island were tall because they were infected by the blood of giants. The height of this forest is entirely due to its extremely strong vitality. Just walking in it will give you a feeling of relaxation and joy, and your steps will become lighter. ??Moreover, although these trees are tall, they do not give people a depressing feeling. Sometimes when I look up, I can still see the blue and clear sky. Because it had just rained, there was a moist earthy smell in the air, which made it even more fresh and pleasant. ?Shaan also noticed that some strange tree houses were built on the branches of the giant trees. The reason why they are called "peculiar" is because the materials of these trees are clear and traditional, which are ordinary vines and branches. But the architectural style is very novel and advanced. It seems to combine the advantages of many buildings and form its own style. Noticing Xia En''s gaze, Kou Kou explained. Those tree houses and the houses in the Holy Court were all designed by Her Majesty the Queen herself! Not only has it become more stable, but it has also become more comfortable to live in. The key is...it looks much better than the old-fashioned wooden house before! Her tone was filled with a touch of pride, and she obviously had great respect for the queen who had not yet ascended the throne. ?Xia En was also a little surprised. The queen of the elves, and also has a talent for civil engineering? ????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?This kind of skill is indeed relatively rare for a queen. Edward on the side had a strange expression: "So that queen still has this kind of hobby..." Koko glanced at him and said, "Her Majesty the Queen knows a lot!" Architecture is just one aspect, clothing, magic patterns, alchemy... Her Majesty the Queen is proficient in them all! She can manage the [City of Giant Woods] in such an orderly manner that no one can find fault. Hearing this, Xia En was even more surprised. ?From Kou Kou''s words, it is not difficult to tell that the queen seems to be an all-round talent. ??Not only can you upgrade the technology tree, but you can also fully upgrade your management abilities? But, does such a perfect person really exist? The little girl is right. ?At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from beside everyone. ?Xia En turned his head and looked a little strange. The person who spoke was a big tree next to him. Dashu opened his deep eyes and said with emotion: "If there is anyone who can lead the elves to greatness again, it is probably the queen who is about to ascend the throne." Good guy, you were eavesdropping just now, right? ?Xia En couldn''t help but complain. This is a tall tree man who seems to be in his prime, exuding strong vitality. To be honest, this is the first time that Xia En has seen a normal tree man. ?The fresh breath and green branches and leaves are very different from the tree people on the bottom of the sea in later generations. Yes, that little guy is indeed a genius. Suddenly, another tree man''s voice came from the side. When they are rooted and motionless, they are completely part of the forest and cannot be distinguished from each other. ?Xia En looked into the distance of the forest and sensed several similar auras. He felt a little horrified. How many tree people are hidden in such a large forest? ??And every tree man is a natural siege machine... ??When they all wake up, this forest will become an army capable of sweeping across most human kingdoms! ?Xia En vaguely guessed the reason why this meeting of nations was held. ??This is because the elves used the Queen''s accession to the throne to show their strength to the various kingdoms on the continent. ??It is also a manifestation of the human kingdom''s initiative to show goodwill to the elves. When one person ascends the throne, all nations come to court! I have to say that in this era, the elves still have the status of world hegemon. ?This also made Xia En more and more curious. ??What kind of person would the queen of such a powerful race be? ?Through the words of Kou Kou and the tree people, Xia En gradually formed an image of an omnipotent, loved, generous and benevolent queen in his mind. It didnt take long. ??Xia En and his party followed Kou Kou to what they called the "Holy Courtyard." It is said to be a "holy court", but it is actually a city located in the core of the forest. As mentioned before, the [City of Giant Trees] covers an extremely vast area, and in the center of the entire forest is a giant tree that is so huge that it is indescribable. The moment Xia En saw this giant tree, he couldn''t help but be stunned. Because it was the same as the giant tree he saw at the bottom of the sea. ?Xia Ens first thought was that this was the true form of the [Giant Wood God]. ?But after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the huge sarcoma heart was the real [Giant Wood God]! This giant tree should be the object of its mimicry and disguise The mother tree of the elves! Sha En also saw an Elf Mother Tree on the Emerald Island. But compared with the giant tree in front of me, that tree can be described as "petite and exquisite". ? Anyone who sees this giant tree for the first time will be sincerely shocked. Under the shade of giant trees, there is a city where conservatism and innovation coexist. ??There are elven archers from the old era, old wooden houses, mages holding staffs, adventurers carrying big swords, steaming locomotives, and novel magic pattern equipment... People from every kingdom of the world walked through the streets, speaking a variety of languages ??and wearing a variety of styles of clothing. gives people a feeling of both contradiction and harmony. ??If Sean were asked to describe the city in front of him, it would probably be - It was the best of times, it was also the worst of times. This city has reached a fork in the road of the times. Heaven or hell, its just a matter of a thought. (End of this chapter) Chapter 248 King Xin’s past Chapter 248 King Xins Past ??For this [City of Giant Trees] that only existed in the past, Xia En only felt that it was novel and unfamiliar. ?Some things in the city bear the prototype of emerging technologies, but they have not yet broken away from the framework of the old era, and they look a bit nondescript. But this is enough to explain... The technology of [City of Giant Woods] has taken a big step forward. ?However, what surprised Xia En the most was the vibrant vitality in this city! The elves all had a look of pride and confidence on their faces, and they walked with long strides and their heads held high. In the eyes of foreign tourists, there is a faint mood of pilgrimage. Even the lowest elf civilians will smile proudly when they look up and see the elf mother tree. Its like, everyone thinks that everything will develop in a good direction. To be more specific, this may be the so-called "cultural self-confidence" and "racial self-confidence." And the elves do have something to be confident about. They are born with the wonderful language of Elvish. They have a long lifespan and are generally beautiful in appearance. They can be called the darlings of God. ??Furthermore, despite being very advanced and powerful, the elves not only did not rest on their laurels, but instead communicated with other races and kingdoms to learn their emerging technologies. This is very valuable. In history, it is never the case that an empire continues to be conservative after becoming strong, and then declines and decays. The Holy Court is a beautiful city, right? Looking at the admiration on the faces of several people, Elf Kokos pretty face was full of pride and she sighed. Actually, the Holy Court was not like this a few years ago. It was after Her Majesty the Queen came to this city that earth-shaking changes took place here. Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised. That Her Majesty the Queen, isnt she an aborigine of the [City of Giant Woods]? ?Eternal species like elves should be relatively exclusive. But an outsider succeeded in becoming the queen of this country, which undoubtedly added a bit of legend. ?Xia En was interested in asking for some more information from Kou Kou. But at this time, Koko pointed to an area not far away and said: "That is the temporary residence area for tourists from the Kingdom of Turin." "I still have patrol duties, so you can just walk there by yourself." The current layout of [City of Giant Trees] is actually a bit similar to the Olympic Village on Earth. Gather the envoys from various kingdoms in one area to facilitate unified management. ?Edward looked at Xia En and asked: "Gentlemen, don''t you have a place to stay temporarily?" I just booked a few rooms in advance. If you dont mind, why not stay at my place? Its a good idea for me to express my gratitude. ??Xia En is indeed unfamiliar with the current [City of Giant Trees], so it would be nice to have an acquaintance to take care of each other. Otherwise, just the identity issue would make the two of them miserable. Xia En did not refuse, nodded and said: "Then I''ll trouble you." Under Edward''s guidance, the group soon officially entered the city. ?Stepping into it in person, Xia Encai more truly realized the excitement and prosperity of the city. Probably because the Congress of All Nations is about to be held, and there are a large number of other races in the [City of Giant Trees]. Demi-humans, elves, dwarves, half-dragons... all kinds of races are mixed together, with a strong alien flavor, like a pot of hodgepodge. The sounds of cars and passers-by pass through the streets, bringing fresh vitality and vitality. ?Something that you have to say. The current [City of Giant Trees] is somewhat similar to the situation when the [Blood Moon Night] was approaching on [Silver Moon Island]. A rare event that has been held for decades, attracting countless foreign tourists. ?Its just that the excitement, influence, and scale of the Conference of All Nations at this time are far greater than that of the original [Silver Moon Island]. I just dont know, is Laila in [City of Giant Woods] now? ?Xia Ens eyes scanned the crowd, thinking in his mind. He is obsessed with traveling back in time. On the one hand, he wants to understand the reason for this crossing of time and space. The other obsession is naturally the elf girl Laila. ?This is not because of any feelings between men and women. Shane and Laila only spent less than a day together, so it was obviously unrealistic to talk about the relationship between a man and a woman. But Laila did make a deep impression on him. Coupled with the original agreement, Xia En inevitably wanted to know her current situation and wanted to see her again. That''s why Xia En observed the pedestrians around him and wanted to try his luck. After all, now, he has no other good way to find the other party quickly. ?However, [City of Giant Woods] is so big, this method of searching is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack. Edward beside him obviously misunderstood Shane''s intentions and enthusiastically introduced him to envoys from different kingdoms. The group of people over there wearing blue pointed hats are from the Blue Eagle Kingdom. They are several countries away from our Kingdom of Turin, and they are good allies. ??The citizens of the Blue Eagle Kingdom generally have high nose bridges, blue pupils, and distinctive blue pointed hats. ??As for Xia En and others, they did not dodge their gazes. Instead, they smiled and waved to the group in a polite manner. Soon, Xia En also saw some pedestrians with black hair and black eyes. It is somewhat similar to the Chinese people in previous lives. ?Edward explained: "That''s from the Soviet Union." It is said that they are on a continent further east and their country is very powerful. But the Su Kingdom is separated from our kingdom by a vast ocean, and we know very little about them. Some bards say that the continent is filled with gold and diamonds, and even the air is sweet! ?Xia Ens mouth twitched slightly. ?This was the first time he knew that there was such a country in the world. After the Great Flood, various human races mixed with each other and their bloodlines continued to blend. In fact, the characteristics of the East and the West were intertwined, showing a state of me among you and you among me. ?Taking Fei Ya as an example, he also has black hair and black eyes, but his facial features are more like a Western face. Subsequently, Edward introduced several kingdoms to Shane one after another, which gave him a lot of knowledge. Having a more realistic understanding of the various situations of kingdoms in this era. Suddenly, Xia En saw a group of people walking across the street surrounded by a five or six-year-old daughter. Judging from the girl''s gorgeous and exquisite clothes, she probably has a distinguished status. ?However, what Xia En really cares about is not this. Rather, their team had a unique flag with a pattern he had seen many times before. Thats Edward looked in the direction of Xia En''s eyes and said uncertainly. That seems to be the envoy from the Kingdom of Shoton, right? That little girl should be the youngest daughter of King Shoton, and she has always been favored. Speaking of this, Edward seemed to think of his own experience, and his eyes couldn''t help but look a little envious. The daughter of King Shoton ?Xia En frowned suddenly. He still remembered that when he defeated the Shuton Kingdom, a girl''s face appeared on the opponent''s chest. Could it be that this little girl is the princess who merges with the king? Aware of this, Xia En suddenly felt horrified. If this is the case, judging from the age of the princess, there must be only about ten years left before the great flood comes! ? Calm downcalm down ?Xia En took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. This may not be the case. ?Perhaps several generations of King Shuton had a little daughter? There is no evidence to prove that this girl is the princess he met. ?Furthermore, Xia En was helpless to find out... Even if this is indeed the case, what can I do? ??Although he has a feeling that his time traveling this time may be longer than the last time. But can you prevent the great flood by yourself? The coming of the Great Flood has become an established fact. The only thing Xia En can do seems to be to remind the kingdoms participating in the conference to prepare as soon as possible. Even though, this kind of unfounded prediction will probably be regarded as crazy talk. Xia Enchang exhaled a breath of thick air. ?Looking at the scene of blooming flowers in front of him, he no longer felt the admiration he had just felt. What was left was only an unbreakable heaviness. ?Edward was keenly aware of Xia En''s change in mood, but didn''t know the reason behind it, so he asked carefully. Mr. Shane, do you have any grudge against the Kingdom of Southton? Xia En smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No." If I have to say it, its because the Kingdom of Shuton is kind to me. ??The initial trip to the Coral City allowed Xia En to accumulate some initial capital, which was regarded as the starting point for his official rise. ?Edward became more and more puzzled: "Then why are you?" ?Xia En shook his head and didn''t want to say anything more. At this time. Yan Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped and looked in one direction of the block. Huh? Yan Yan? Xia En turned around and looked. I saw a group of people in red and black robes and hoods walking towards their houses in that neighborhood. ?The number of people in that group was small, but their momentum was very impressive, giving people a vague sense of danger. ?Shane asked Edward in a low voice. are they? As a prince, Edward received aristocratic education since childhood and was well-read and knowledgeable. But when facing these mysterious robed men, he still thought for a moment before speaking. If Im not mistaken, they are [Black Flame Walkers] from the far north. The far north, [Black Flame Walker]? These two words instantly aroused Xia En''s interest. Especially when Yan Yan has a unique reaction to these people. I dont know much about [Black Flame Walker]. ?Edward continued: "Their status is equivalent to the [Knights of the Round Table] in the Kingdom of Turin. They are the most trusted and loyal subordinates of the king." And the person [Black Flame Walker] is loyal to is a king named Xin. Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. Salary? Salary King! ? In other words, [Black Flame Walker] is King Xins subordinate? ?However, in this era, King Xin''s reputation had not yet reached the world-famous level that it would be in later generations. So Edward''s tone was not so sure. This salaryman became famous at a young age. He is famous in his original country for his mysterious and powerful fire control ability. "He has strength and ambition. He originally wanted to climb to the highest position in his country step by step." But in the end, he failed in his efforts and was eventually expelled from his original country and exiled to the bitter cold land of the far north. ?Edward changed the subject and added: "However, Xin did not recover from this. Instead, it gathered a group of local residents in the far north." Together with the exiled prisoners, he established a new country and named it Dayan. After that, Xin continued to expand his territory and conquer the common people. Now, Dayan has become one of the most powerful countries in the world. Speaking later, Edward was obviously full of envy and admiration. Such legendary deeds are indeed enough to make young people fascinated. ??Xia En also learned for the first time that King Xin had such a past, and couldn''t help but marvel. But soon he thought of another thing Since [Black Flame Walker] has come to [City of Giant Trees], does it also mean that King Xin is also in this city at this time? ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but beat fast. He has already met Augustine several times and seen the style of the pirate king. It is inevitable to be curious about this salary king who is as famous as Augustine. Not to mention, Xia En came into contact with [Xinwang Treasure] several times. ?However, Edward immediately poured cold water on him. There is a high probability that King Xin will not participate in this conference of nations. He has been at war with his neighboring countries recently, so he only sent these [Black Flame Walkers], right? Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little regretful. ? He ??glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that Yan Yan was still staring at the back of [Black Flame Walker], and he immediately put away the distracting thoughts in his mind. ?It is known that Yan Yan is suspected to have some deep connection with King Xin. ?Then, it is only natural that he would recognize these [Black Flame Walkers]. Xia En came to Yan Yan and whispered: "Why don''t you go talk to them, maybe... you can get back some of your past memories?" After thinking for a long time, Yan Yan took a step forward, but then stepped back. Inexplicably, he had mixed emotions towards those people in red and black robes. I feel nostalgic and close at the same time, but also feel guilt and fear. This is the reason for his hesitation. Yan Yan suspected that if he took this step, he might never be able to look back. ?That sense of fear finally made him suppress the impulse in his heart. Yan Yan shook his head at Xia En: "Captain, let''s go for a walk." Seeing this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him. It didnt take long. ?The group of people came to a tall and gorgeous tree house. ?This building obviously blends the styles of elves and other races, and has a unique harmonious beauty. ??There are two beautiful elf ladies standing at the door, which is a pleasure to look at. Xia En was quite satisfied with what he saw. But at this time, Edward whispered: "Mr. Shane, it''s not here, it''s over here..." ?Shaan turned his head. Opposite the tall tree house, there was a low and shabby wooden house. With a "squeak" sound, the beam above the wooden house tilted and almost fell down. ?Shaan: (End of this chapter) Chapter 249 Goodbye Leila! (Please subscribe!) Chapter 249 Goodbye Laila! (Please subscribe!) No, bro Looking at this low and dilapidated wooden house, Xia En almost blurted out a comment. ?But when he thought about it, he realized that Edward''s situation in the Kingdom of Turin might not be that good. The previous assassination was only one aspect. More importantly, as a prince, Edward only had a fifth-level bodyguard named George. This is enough to explain the predicament of his situation. Thinking about it, renting this small wooden house in [City of Giant Woods] has already brought a lot of burden to Edward. Aware of this, Xia En immediately adjusted his mood and spoke openly. I think this place is not bad, Yan Yan, lets go. Edward was quite embarrassed and guilty because of the shabby residence. But seeing Xia En''s indifferent attitude, I naturally knew that he was trying to save face for himself, and I couldn''t help but feel a little moved. In fact, Edward''s situation was worse than Shane expected. ?Although he is the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin, he is also the least respected prince. The reason is simple. ?Edward was not the child born to the queen or princess of the Kingdom of Turin, but the son of an ordinary village woman. In other words, he is actually the king''s illegitimate son. In the Kingdom of Turin, which adheres to the spirit of chivalry, illegitimate children are dishonorable to the entire family and will bring chaos and stain to the entire family. ???It would be better if the King of Turin did not accept Edward as his son and only showed concern for him secretly. ?Edward may have grown up safely, eventually becoming a farmer and a wealthy man, and spending his later years in seclusion. But maybe its because of the so-called love, or maybe its just a moment of enthusiasm. The King of Turin chose the worst possible path ??He took Edward back to the palace with great fanfare, gave him the surname "Phoenix", and officially made him the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin. ?Such an absurd behavior naturally caused an uproar in the Kingdom of Turin. But the king went his own way and suppressed all objections. No matter how angry the people of the Kingdom of Turin were, they did not dare to openly resist the king. ?So, their target was pointed at the innocent Edward. A lowly illegitimate son became the prince of the kingdom and obtained the right of inheritance. Of course, many people would be dissatisfied. ?This is the fundamental reason for Edward''s miserable situation. ??He came to the [City of Giant Trees] to attend the Conference of All Nations this time, with the idea of ????avoiding the fierce public opinion in the country. It''s just that Edward didn''t expect... ?He wants to avoid trouble, but trouble always comes to him. Just like this time. ?Edward was about to lead Xia En into the wooden house to rest, but an unfriendly voice came from behind him. Isnt this our fifth prince, His Highness Edward? The person who spoke was a little fat man who was also wearing fine clothes and had chubby cheeks. He seemed to be a few years younger than Edward. At first glance, he looks like a pampered aristocrat. George recognized his identity, frowned slightly, and whispered to Xia En and the others: "This is the youngest son of the Prime Minister''s family, Ximei." I will not deal with His Highness Edward in the kingdom. ?Ximei glanced at the low wooden house behind Edward and couldn''t help but sneer. Hmph, you are indeed the child of a prostitute. The style of this house really complements yours! As for Edward''s mother, people in the Kingdom of Turin are always willing to speculate and comment with the greatest malice. This also caused her to be unable to bear the pressure and finally chose to commit suicide. In Edward''s mind, his mother has always been his biggest enemy! Hearing this, Edward immediately frowned, with dark anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "My mother is not a prostitute!" Ximei, I think you have insulted the honor of the royal family. You must apologize to me! ?Ximei was stunned for a moment, feeling a little panicked. He did not expect Edward to have such a big reaction and behave so strongly. Normally, Edward usually just tolerates this kind of cynicism silently, causing Sime to mistakenly think that he is very weak and timid. So, Edward''s sudden counterattack now exceeded Simei''s expectation. ?However, in front of everyone, Ximei certainly didn''t want to apologize so easily, so she said harshly. Im just stating the facts. Do I have to be punished for telling the truth? "oh?" A coldness flashed in Edward''s eyes and he asked: "In other words, do you think that the current King of Turin, my father, will be a man who gave birth to a child with a prostitute?" ?Hearing this question, Ximei was shaken all over and turned pale. He finally realized that he had made a serious mistake. It is of course okay to belittle and ridicule Edward and his mother. After all, being an illegitimate child is destined to bring about blank looks and criticism. ??But if the King of Turin is involved, the problem will be serious! No matter what, he is the king of a country. If you dare to speak ill of him in public, do you still want to hang out in the kingdom in the future? ?Besides, Shane also noticed the subtlety of Edward''s words and couldn''t help but give him a high look. ??Although this fifth prince looks weak, he is obviously capable and scheming. There is also a possibility that this weak and bully appearance is just a disguise for him! Sure enough, no one who can be a prince is simple. Xia En sighed in his heart. But what does this have to do with me? ?? He traveled back to this era not to help any prince win the throne, and he was not very interested in the love and hatred within the Kingdom of Turin. At the end of the day. ??If it is true as Shane guessed, the Great Flood was only about ten years away from this era. The so-called princes and kings will only become waves in the flood. At this time, the argument between Edward and Sime attracted the attention of other passers-by on the street. The group of [Black Flame Walkers] who were about to enter the gate also set their sights in this direction. Huh? ?One of the petite men in black robes cast his eyes on Xia En, who was also wearing robes, and couldn''t help but let out a sigh. Irina, whats wrong? Beside her, Sergey, who was as strong as a brown bear, asked in an angry voice. As residents of the Far North, their language pronunciation is somewhat different from that of mainland lingua franca. Irina stared at Yan Yan in the crowd and whispered. Look at the man in black robe, does he look a bit like the king? Sergei glanced in that direction and couldn''t help but laugh: "He is wearing a robe. How do you see that he looks like the king?" Irina defended: "It''s the figure! The figure!" ? Sergey still disagreed and said carelessly: "There are many people with similar figures in the world." Besides, the king is still fighting **** battles in the north. How could he come to such a boring meeting? Black Flame Walkeris the elite of the Great Yan Kingdom. He is used to the ascetic life and is a natural fighting maniac. Happily, I feel a little contempt for the exquisite and comfortable atmosphere of the elves. Thats true ? Irina had to admit that Sergey had a point. But she always felt that the man in black robe was not only similar in stature to Wang, but also had a very unique and familiar temperament. At this time in the field. Edward insisted on an apology from Sime. ??But Ximei refused to bow her head because of her face, nor did she admit that she had any disrespect towards the king. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate. Suddenly, a young man dressed in unusual clothes spoke. Edward, thats pretty much it. ?Seeing this young man, the crowd burst into a small uproar. Its His Royal Highness the Second Prince Carlo! I didnt expect that he would also come to attend the Conference of All Nations! "Actually, I heard that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the core figure of the mission and can make decisions on behalf of the King. The rest are just incidental." ?Different from the notorious and embarrassing Edward, the second prince Carlo received a lot of attention as soon as he appeared on the scene. ?This second prince is a strong contender for the throne and has made considerable achievements several times. The reputation has been raised very high. ?At the moment, after hearing Carlo''s words of persuasion, Edward''s face suddenly became a little ugly. But he still gritted his teeth and said, "That''s enough, Ximei has to apologize first!" Ximei received Carlo''s support, her eyes immediately brightened, and she spoke confidently. I said nothing wrong, why should I apologize? "you!" Just as Edward was about to speak, another girl of a similar grade in the crowd scolded him coldly. "That''s enough, Edward, how long are you going to let outsiders watch this farce?" ?This woman''s status is also unusual. She is the fourth princess of the Kingdom of Turin and has always been on good terms with the Prime Minister''s family. When he spoke at this time, he was obviously blatantly favoring Ximei. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the second prince and the fourth princess working together to put pressure on Edward. The meaning of rejection and disgust is very obvious. ?There is no way, who told him to be an illegitimate child? ?Edward clenched his fists tightly, a look of humiliation on his face. ??He had long known that his brother and sister didn''t like him, but now, the scene where the two of them were helping outsiders to speak still made him feel chilled. ?Ximei saw that the situation had reversed, and her arrogance suddenly became more and more arrogant. ?The two of them, Xia En, who were wearing black robes and looked particularly suspicious, quickly became the target of his attack. Your Highness Edward, why do you hang out with these sneaky and suspicious people all day long? What if there is an assassin mixed in? ?Ximei said with utmost sarcasm: "Oh, I know." Birds of a feather flock together, and people divide into groups. Your Highness is the son of a prostitute, so he naturally likes to hang out with these despicable people. ?Xia En frowned slightly. ?He was originally too lazy to meddle in such nosy matters, but now that the other party was pointing at him and scolding him, naturally he could no longer stay out of it. Just when Xia En was about to teach the little fat man a lesson, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd not far away. Whats going on? Second Prince Carlo looked back. Soon, some enthusiastic people responded: "It is Her Majesty the Queen''s car!" The Queen is here! Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited. Having been in [City of Giant Woods] for so long, they have heard the deeds of this queen candidate many times from the elves. But this is the first time to see each other in person! Although that person has not yet been officially crowned, people are already accustomed to calling her "Her Majesty the Queen." From this we can also see the prestige of this elf. Carlo, who had always maintained a calm and calm attitude before, couldn''t help but look solemn, straightened his clothes, and looked solemnly in the direction of the sound. Want to leave a good impression on the Elf Queen. ??The Kingdom of Turin is also a well-known power on the mainland. But in this era, the most powerful one is still the elven kingdom that masters advanced technology and magic! It is natural that the Elf Queen is also one of the most powerful people in the world. ?The fourth princess who was making things difficult for Edward looked over with expectation and admiration. As a woman, the Elf Queen is like a role model to her. In the blink of an eye. ?People''s attention was completely attracted by the Elf Queen, while Edward and Simei, who were previously in the spotlight, became uninterested. ?Edward sighed, with a complicated expression, envious and bitter at the same time. Like everyone else, Xia En also looked in the direction from which the Queen''s Seat driver came. soon. A steam locomotive, which was steaming and made up of pipes, levers and gears, slowly drove into everyone''s sight. ?Xia Ens expression couldnt help but be a little strange. Although it is a steam locomotive, its shape is very similar to the previous carriages. The carriage is closed and there are windows on both sides. The exterior of the vehicle has a large number of exquisite and gorgeous decorations, and there are several elf attendants following on both sides of the motorcycle. ?Looks like the painting style is quite mixed. ?However, the ostentation is still very luxurious. Some people couldn''t help but feel a little disappointed because they couldn''t see the Elf Queen. But at this moment. ??A gentle voice came from inside the carriage. What happened here? Obviously, the previous dispute here was the reason for the Queen''s approach. ?Ximei panicked and explained: "It''s just a small dispute." There is nothing for Her Majesty to worry about. He is also a smart man and knows that if things get too big, it will not be of any benefit to himself or the Kingdom of Turin. Furthermore, even the second prince and fourth princess could not protect themselves in front of the Elf Queen. "Really? Why did I hear that some people called our guests in [City of Giant Woods] dirty people?" As he spoke, the people in the car gently opened the curtains and looked out. ??Everyone held their breath and stared at the windows nervously, fearing that they would miss the true appearance of the Elf Queen. After the curtains were opened, people fell into a daze. The person in the car has a breathtaking beauty, and his facial features are like the most perfect creation of God. ?She is so beautiful, with her platinum-blond waist-length hair hanging naturally, shining in the light, reminiscent of the cool moonlight at night. ?Even if only half of the face is exposed, countless people are fascinated and fascinated. This is the queen of the elves! With such stunning beauty, its no wonder she rarely appears in the city. ?At this moment, many people had the idea that the trip was worthwhile. Soon, people were shocked to find that the Queen''s gaze stopped in one direction for a long time. And, gradually Her eyes had accumulated hazy mist, like pearls covered with dust. People cant help but feel pity. Who on earth could make such a woman heartbroken? But in the next moment. The Queen suddenly smiled. It was a surprise and pure smile, which was more beautiful than a thousand flowers in full bloom. This impact, which ranged from sadness to surprise, made people lose the ability to speak for a while. Suddenly, in the disbelief eyes of everyone. The Queen opened the car door and ran in one direction like a girl. Without any hesitation or hesitation. Finally, she hugged a figure wearing a black robe tightly and whispered. "haven''t seen you for a long time." Shane: Long time no see, Laila. (End of this chapter) Chapter 250 "Can you touch me more?" Chapter 250 Can you touch me more? No one present could have imagined that the situation would take such a turn. ?Especially the princes and princesses of the Kingdom of Turin, all of them opened their eyes wide and looked at this scene in disbelief. They are the people with the highest status here, and they are also the focus of people''s attention. In their opinion, for the sake of the Kingdom of Turin, they are the most likely person to communicate with the Elf Queen. But at this time, the Elf Queen did not say a word to them at all, but directly embraced an unidentified man in black robes! ? Furthermore, judging from her demeanor, it was obvious that the other person was an extremely important person to her. This is the first time I have seen the Queen show such an expression... Who is that man in black robe? He and Edward seem to have a close relationship? ?Seeing more and more eyes coming from all around, the voices of discussion became louder and louder. The Elf Queen, or Laila, smiled slightly and said to Shane. Ill take you to a good place. The next moment. A magnificent magic circle was generated at the feet of the two of them. Soon, the two figures disappeared in front of everyone. Her Majesty the Queen?! The faces of the elf guards beside the steam locomotive suddenly became a little ugly. Their beloved Queen, actually ran away with someone else like this? Tomorrow is the day when he officially ascends the throne! What should we do if something unexpected happens? Fortunately, at this moment, a head maid who had known Laila for many years said, "Don''t panic." I know where the Queen has gone. Besides, the Queen is absolutely safe in the [City of Giant Woods]. ?Hearing what the head maid said, the guard calmed down. The head maid looked at where Laila left, couldn''t help but shook her head, and muttered in her heart. "After so many years, this little girl has calmed down her temper. I didn''t expect her nature to be so out of control." "You are the only candidate for the queen. Can''t you summon her in private? But you have to do it in public..." After muttering, the head maid began to help her deal with the follow-up of this matter. In the crowd, the second prince glanced at Edward with a dark and unclear look. ??If the man in black robes is Edward''s companion, doesn''t it mean that Edward may be able to gain support from the elves? This is obviously not good news for him, who is also the heir. The person with the most exciting expression in the scene was Ximei, who had spoken so wildly before. ?No matter how stupid and reckless he is, he can still see that - ??The man in black robes who was also belittled by him obviously had a very close relationship with the Elf Queen. ??And if you offend the Elf Queen in [City of Giant Woods], no matter what the consequences will be, how can Ximei still guess? His face was pale, his body was trembling slightly, and he looked at Edward with difficulty. Like a drowning man who sees the last straw... The other side. After the teleportation circle was activated, Xia En''s eyes flashed. A dazzling ray of sunlight came into view. ??Xia En looked around and found that there was a blue sky above his head, and hazy clouds and mist were surrounding him. It was not as grand as the sky was high and the clouds were wide. Under his feet, there was a dense tree crown, and birds built nests among the branches. "here it is" We are now standing on the crown of the Elf Mother Tree. ?Laila said loudly from beside her, but her beautiful eyes fell on him intently. At this time, Xia En had time to take a closer look at Laila in front of him. Compared with the last time we met, Laila''s appearance and temperament have changed a lot. Her appearance has become much more mature. From a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, she became a young woman of about twenty years old. ?Far from reducing her charm, this is like a green fruit gradually maturing, adding to her charming charm. When he first met Laila, Shane was amazed by her beauty. At the moment, she has a truly stunning appearance. In terms of temperament, Laila has also changed from her previous innocence to a calm and tranquil one. ? And the gorgeous elf dress also gave her a hint of the majesty of a superior person. ??After careful sensing, the aura on Laila''s body was also extremely deep and powerful, at least level six and up, two levels higher than Xia En. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. Yes, now Laila is no longer the poor girl who was ostracized by her fellow tribesmen. ??But the Elf Queen who is about to be crowned emperor! The figure in the memory gradually overlapped with the woman in front of him. ?Shaan sighed softly: "Laila, you have changed a lot." Hearing this, Laila said quietly: "Do you know how long it has been since you and I were separated?" "how long?" One hundred years. ?Laila said softly: "A full hundred and five years!" Its a good thing that I am an immortal, otherwise I would have been too old to see anyone. Xia En was shocked. One hundred years! For ordinary people, this is already a longer time than a lifetime. Even if Laila is an immortal species like an elf, a hundred years cannot be considered short. No wonder Laila has changed so much. As soon as Xia En came up with such an idea, he heard Laila let out a long breath, unbuttoned the two buttons on her clothes, and lay down on the canopy of the tree without a ladylike image. I can relax for a while. You dont know that these clothes are tight, and you have to pay attention to maintaining the Queens appearance at all times. Just walking around the city can tire you out! ?Laila relaxed and stretched her body, and complained to Shane angrily: "If I had known it would be such a troublesome thing, I wouldn''t be a queen!" ?Xia En was slightly startled. ? He ??suddenly remembered that Laila was originally a free and carefree elf, and she was almost buried alive in her research room. At this moment, her impetuous girlish attitude showed a bit of the past. Make Shanton feel friendly and familiar. ?Perhaps, that calm look was a disguise she had to make, which was also a requirement of the Queen''s status. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Only in front of someone she truly trusts will she show such a lazy look. ?However, Xia En didn''t dare to look at it after two glances. ?Laila has not only matured in appearance, but also has a well-developed body. She is not comparable to the flat girl before. ?Looking down from a high position, your eyes are easily attracted by the white greasy collar. ??Xia En simply lay down next to Laila, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and asked softly. Why are you in this city? Since the [Wrath of God], I left the [Emerald Isle] and traveled around the mainland. On the one hand, I want to find you, and on the other hand, I want to find a solution to the elves crisis. ?Laila spoke calmly and slowly told what she had experienced in the past hundred years. I have been to many kingdoms and seen all kinds of people and all kinds of races. Finally, I realized that it was not enough for me to solve the disaster you told me about. Even the power of the entire elves is not enough! If you want to survive the world-destroying flood, you must gather the resources, strength and wisdom of all kingdoms and races in the world! ?Her tone has always been calm, but she also revealed firm determination. Thats why I came to the [City of Giant Woods] to become a candidate for the queen. And this Conference of All Nations was held under my impetus. Hearing these words, Xia En was moved again. Hundred years have finally allowed Laila to grow up a lot. ?These words alone are not something that ordinary people can say. Obviously, Lyra and the pirate king Augustine chose to take different paths. ?Augustine continues to improve his strength, trying to defeat [Husi Ming] with his personal power and expel him from this world. ?Layla, on the other hand, placed her hope in collective power and wanted to unite the intelligent races around the world to fight against the enemy. ??If it can really be done, Laila''s probability of success is obviously greater than Augustine''s. only It is almost impossible to unite the power of the entire world. There are naturally different conflicts between various kingdoms and races, either blood feuds or gaps between civilizations. ?Taking the elves as an example, even if they dont say it explicitly, deep down in their hearts they probably always have a sense of superiority over humans. ?Furthermore, even if Laila foretells the coming of the great flood to them. How many people will choose to believe it? Without any evidence, it is necessary to use the resources and citizens of other kingdoms, which will only be considered an act of aggression. Even if the elves are the most powerful race in the world, the result will not change. In the final analysis, human beings are creatures that put interests above all else. Once Laila does something that infringes on the interests of other kingdoms, it will naturally arouse public outrage. Because of this, Shane has a certain pessimism about Laila''s plan. Dont worry, Im not that naive. I want to bind other kingdoms to the elves through a conference of nations. ?Laila turned her head and winked slyly at Shane. I just want to establish a basis for cooperation among countries and form a relatively loose organization first. What do you think of the nameFederation? The union of city-states feels quite appropriate! Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. ?However, after thinking about it, he realized that the federation mentioned by Laila had nothing to do with the later Seven Seas Federation. It just happened to be a name. Xia En relaxed and said with a smile, "It''s true." But dont be too impatient about the establishment of the federation, otherwise it may be counterproductive. ?Shaan had realized that Laila would not change her decision, so he did not persuade her to give up, but hoped that she would not act too hastily. Otherwise, the elves would have been boycotted by other kingdoms before the great flood came. Im actually a little anxious. ?Suddenly, Laila half-sited up, hugged her knees with her hands, straightened her body, and murmured. After all, I dont know when those disasters will come. Is it possible that disaster will strike before we are ready? I dont dare to tell other people these secrets, for fear of shaking peoples hearts and attracting the attention of evil gods. ?Her voice was filled with deeply hidden uneasiness. Xia En felt more and more pity in his heart. At the end of the day, Laila is still just a girl according to the age of the elf. But she has to bear such a heavy secret, and no one can talk to her about it. You can imagine the pressure inside her. ?Xia En suddenly felt regretful. Would it have been better if he had not told Laila these secrets at the beginning? As if she saw what he was thinking, Laila shook her head and said seriously: "I have never regretted it." I am very lucky that I can meet you and know that disaster is approaching. Its much better than those tribesmen who were buried in [Gods wrath] without knowing anything. Speaking, Laila pushed aside the leaves around her and stared blankly below. This city is so beautiful. ?Xia En looked down and saw the entire "City of Giant Woods" through the sparse branches. Busty crowds, noisy voices, and fresh and real vitality flow in every corner of the city. From such a high place, overlooking the city below, there is a different kind of beauty. ?The lofty, filthy and corrupt external gods cannot appreciate the beauty of life, nor can they see the hope in people''s hearts. ?Laila smiled at Shane and said, "This is my city." These are my people. Her smile was filled with girlish pride. It was her efforts to transform the city into what it is now, and it was she who changed the elves'' conservative customs. She does have the right to be proud. For no reason, Xia En stretched out his hand, gently touched the top of Laila''s head, and praised her. Well, you did a good job. ?Think about it for a moment, if you were in Laila''s situation, you would never be able to do better than her. ?However, Xia En regretted it as soon as he made this move. ?Laila is about to become the queen now. Doesnt the act of touching her head a bit insult the queens majesty? ??But he didn''t expect that after being stunned for a moment, Laila''s eyes turned red and she took the initiative to rub Xia En''s palm with her head and whispered. Can you touch me more? ?Shaans expression was a little strange, but he still tried his best to meet Lailas needs. ??If the elves of [City of Giant Woods] saw their queen showing such an expression, they would definitely be shocked. ??Laila said while enjoying the touch: "By the way, I told you my experience, you should also tell me what happened to you during this time, right?" Xia En naturally did not refuse this request and began to explain what happened after leaving [Emerald Island]. Including the encounter with Augustine in the promotion ritual and his coronation as king. Also includes the adventure on the Sand Island and the truth about the Norwich Treasure. ?Laila couldn''t help but sigh: "I have heard the name Augustine, the Pirate King, many times." From what you say, he is indeed a powerful person. Its a pity that [City of Giant Woods] is located inland, so we cant invite him to participate. And, you actually got a secret realm! This harvest is not ordinary. The two of them chatted wordlessly. ?Obviously they are dry words, but they make people happy inexplicably. They feel that every word is meaningful and makes people''s hearts flutter. Time also passes slowly in this process. Gradually, night falls. (End of this chapter) Chapter 251 A date with Leila, the birth of [Heart of Steam] Chapter 251: The date with Leila, the birth of [Heart of Steam] ??As night slowly enveloped the [City of Giant Trees], little fluorescent lights lit up throughout the forest. Since the elves are close to nature, the use rate of oil lamps is not high. Instead, there is a unique fluorescent lamp, which can bloom with a soft halo with a little secret power. Looking down from a high place, dots of light shine across the city, like stars in the sky, reflecting the beauty of the entire city. ?Shaan sat next to Laila, looking at this beautiful scenery and couldn''t help but feel a little crazy. Suddenly, Laila stood up and stretched out her hand to him, with a bright smile on her face: "Do you want to accompany me to visit my city?" ?Xia En was startled, then stretched out his hand, and the two of them held each other''s hands. The next moment. ??The magnificent teleportation circle once again lit up at the feet of the two of them. ?After the light flickered, Xia En came to a busy city. Compared with the last time we met, Laila''s attainments in teleportation spells have greatly improved. Not only is the casting time extremely short, but it can also appear in any corner of [City of Giant Trees]. Xia En came back to his senses and looked around, seeing a bustling crowd around him. There are stalls on both sides of the street, selling various ethnic snacks, magic pattern equipment, ores, jewelry, and magic books. ?There are all kinds of things in the forest. ??If you ignore the different races and the extraordinary items in them, it is almost the same as the night market on the earth in the previous life. Obviously, this grand event of the Conference of All Nations has greatly promoted the commercial trade of [City of Giant Woods]. It also attracted many small and large traders who wanted to make money. ? And soon, Shane was surprised to find that the passers-by around him seemed not to notice the arrival of him and Laila at all. No one was surprised by the appearance of the Elf Queen. "rest assured." ?Laila whispered in Shane''s ear: "I used a magic that reduces my presence, so they won''t discover my identity." ??Xia En has long known from [Laila''s Magic Notes] that she has mastered many weird magics, so he is not too surprised. only ?Shaan glanced at Laila''s little hand clasping his own, and couldn''t help but blink. ?Laila''s pretty face was slightly red, but she still said matter-of-factly: "This magic has a distance limit. If it is too far away, it will be ineffective." Besides, there are so many people here, what if we get separated? ?Shaan nodded, and held Laila''s hand tighter by the way: "You are right." "let''s go." With this magical disguise, Xia En and the two were able to wander around the streets freely. ?Even if someone accidentally caught a glimpse of their faces, they would only think that they were an ordinary couple visiting the [City of Giant Trees]. I have to say. After these hundred years of development, the elves have made great progress in research on technology and magic. The most obvious change is that a large number of magic pattern equipment and steam devices have appeared in the city. From the weapons and armor worn by people to buildings and vehicles, the shadow of emerging technologies can be seen everywhere. ?Many outsiders who have just arrived are dazzled by these new things and cant help but exclaim in admiration. This kind of pattern is called magic pattern? Items inlaid with magic patterns can have different secret powers? ?A bald middle-aged man exclaimed: "Doesn''t this mean that it can give ordinary people extraordinary powers?" Amazing! Really amazing! Someone nearby recognized the identity of the bald middle-aged man and asked curiously: "Master Carmen, do you also want to study this kind of magic pattern equipment?" "certainly!" Master Carmen''s eyes were burning with invisible flames, and he said firmly: "If I can further promote this cross-era product, maybe more people will remember my name!" Some of the companions around me agreed, while others were not very optimistic. Obviously, the opposition still accounts for the majority. Carmen, you are tired of concentrating on mathematics, do you still want to achieve something along the way in the magic pattern? Yes, yes, magic patterns are a completely new field for you, and its not that easy to start from scratch. You are so old, dont you think about your wife and children? Listen to the argument among this group of people. ?Laila''s eyes brightened slightly and she explained in a low voice: "This Master Carmen is a well-known mathematician on the mainland." If he can join the research team of [City of Giant Woods], it will definitely be of great help to the development of magic pattern equipment. Xia En touched his chin. ??He vaguely felt that the name "Carmen" sounded familiar. Thinking about it carefully, Xia Encai suddenly remembered that in later generations, Carmen was a famous magic pattern master. ?Of course, he himself has long since died. ??However, each piece of magic pattern equipment he left behind has a secret power beyond ordinary magic pattern equipment, and can be sold for a high price. ??Whether it is the auction of [Insanity Island] or the collection of Duke Nova, there are magic-patterned equipment painted by Carmen himself. ?There is even a saying spread among the Seven Seas - Produced by Carmen, it must be a high-quality product! ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but look at the bald middle-aged man more. It is hard to imagine that this humble man will achieve extraordinary achievements in the field of magic patterns in the future. ?However, he did realize his dream and left his name in history. ? Carmens attitude was originally very firm, but under the persuasion of her companions, she inevitably wavered. Suddenly at this time. A voice sounded behind Carmen. How will you know if you dont try? Choosing to give up before trying is the act of a coward. ?Carmen was stunned and turned her head suddenly: "Who?" ?He looked back twice, but didn''t see the speaker. But he chewed the words carefully, and the look in his eyes gradually became firm. Thats right, even if I fail, I will still have a try! Everyone, I have made up my mind, you dont need to persuade me any more! After saying that, Carmen left in a hurry, as if she was going to discuss with the elves. ?Laila looked at Xia En beside her curiously, wondering why he suddenly spoke out to persuade her. Its just a small thing that I do casually. ?Shaan smiled and said, "Let''s go." They have come here, and the two of them have not missed some of the delicious food on both sides of the street. ?Shaan ate the Elf sweet pancake that impressed him again, and felt that the taste seemed to have been slightly improved and became less sweet. Perhaps it is an adjustment to suit public taste. ?Laila held the sweet pancake in her hands and gnawed it like a little hamster, with an expression of nostalgia and enjoyment on her face. Its so delicious Xia En asked curiously: "Have you not eaten for a long time?" ?Laila nodded: "Yes." You dont know that since I became the queen candidate, those old-fashioned people wont let me eat any food outside the palace. Its just nectar and fruits all day long, Im tired of them! ?Shaan thought about it carefully. Being a candidate for queen not only brings power, but also brings many shackles to Laila. She must behave like a queen and possess the majesty of a queen. The simplest truth. Now, it is basically impossible for Laila to travel around the continent as before, let alone leave the [City of Giant Woods] as she pleases. The price of becoming a queen is freedom... ?Xia En sighed inwardly. No matter what, this is Laila''s choice, and she cannot control other people''s lives. What he can do now is to give Laila as much fun as possible in the limited time. ?Thinking of this, Xia En grabbed Laila''s delicate hand again and walked in this bustling street. ?There was a sea of ??people, but it seemed like they were the only two people left in the world. Soon, Xia En found a place similar to a small exhibition ahead, where many passers-by gathered. ?Shaan asked the nearest passerby: "Excuse me, what kind of exhibition is this?" The passerby replied: "It is said that Mr. Thomas from the Seahorse Kingdom has developed the latest steam creation." He called it...[Heart of Steam]! ?Xia En couldn''t help but be stunned. Of course he knows about the existence of [Heart of Steam]. The [Gluttony Steam Engine] on his [Black Swan] gained the ability to grow on its own after receiving the blessing of the [Heart of Steam], and its performance improved step by step. ?However, the [Heart of Steam] that Shane obtained at that time was already a product of the fourth generation. At present, those who appear in [City of Giant Woods] should only be the first generation. Xia En suddenly became interested. This Thomas from the Seahorse Kingdom should be the so-called legendary steam mechanic! ?Before he spoke, Laila''s eyes lit up beside her: "Xia En, Xia En, let''s go!" [Heart of Steam], its amazing when you hear it! ? ? Apart from her status as a queen, Laila is also a genius proficient in various fields. Especially in steam technology, she showed extraordinary acumen a hundred years ago. Xia En asked in a low voice: "How is the research on the steam device I gave you before?" After thinking about it, Laila said: "We have already figured out some of its basic principles and used them in the construction of [City of Giant Wood]." Its just that kind of strange activity that we still cant crack. Xia En smiled and said: "Actually, the activity of the steam device is related to this [Steam Heart]." This kind of creation can even make the steam device awaken its own soul! While talking, the two of them had already entered the exhibition. ?However, what surprised Xia En was that there were not many people in the venue. Some people walked out quickly after hearing about the content of the exhibition, seemingly without much interest. In addition, this venue was originally built temporarily, making it even more crude and deserted. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En felt quite strange. The birth of [Heart of Steam] can be called an epoch-making symbol of steam technology. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is witnessing history. But now ?But in fact, many great inventions in history were not taken seriously when they were first born. The limitations of peoples eyesight and horizons meant that no one cared about these things at the initial stage. But under the erosion of time, they will eventually shine like gold in quicksand. At the exhibition stand. Thomas, who had a mustache, looked at the sparse crowd in the audience and couldn''t help but feel a little discouraged. ??In order to come to [City of Giant Woods] and get the opportunity for this exhibition, he risked everything. He wants to turn over in one fell swoop with the help of a creation like [Heart of Steam]! However, the actual situation gave him a heavy blow. Actually, Thomas also understands the reason for the current mediocre response. ?At this moment, the city with the most advanced steam technology in the world is none other than the [City of Giant Trees]. Since I come from a small city and am a human being, I will naturally be looked down upon. The deserted situation in the venue can be expected. "It seems that I lost the bet..." ? Thomas sighed. In his expectation, regardless of success or failure, he did not intend to continue researching [Heart of Steam]. Because doing research is really too expensive and energy-consuming. Even though Thomas was originally a young baron of the Seahorse Kingdom, he simply couldnt withstand this kind of consumption. The best case scenario in his mind is to use this exhibition to make a name for himself and then sell the [Heart of Steam] patent rights at a good price. But now, it seems that even this goal has been missed. ?Thomas sighed again, his heart becoming heavier when he thought of the debt owed in the country. Thats it, Im too naive. "Go back to China and seal this technology forever..." ??Rather than sell his hard work at a low price, Thomas would rather keep it sealed. But at this moment. A man in black robes walked up to him, curiously looked at the exhibits on the platform, and asked. Is this the first generation [Heart of Steam]? ??Although Thomas was frustrated, he did not forget the basic etiquette and nodded politely. Thats right. Placing it on a steam device can increase the efficiency of the machine. Thats right Xia En twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "But this device is a bit too big, isn''t it?" At this moment, he also saw the reason why no one paid attention to [Heart of Steam]. This steam device is as big as one-third of an adult man. It''s okay to use it on those large steam machines. Some small steam machines are not as big as this [Heart of Steam]! ?Thomas couldn''t help but blush a little and defended: "This is a technical problem." I will definitely go in the direction of lightweighting in the future. ??Xia En, however, saw the problem in Thomas'' direction at a glance. The current [Heart of Steam] is just an external device. No matter how it is reduced, it will appear bloated and cumbersome. If it is installed on a large equipment, a [Steam Heart] that is too small will not be effective. So it seems extremely useless. Xia En simply said: "Have you ever imagined using countless small and precise parts to form the [Heart of Steam]?" When installed on other steam devices, it directly penetrates into the interior of the device from a microscopic level to provide more precise blessing? "this" Hearing this, Thomas fell into deep thought. As the inventor of [Heart of Steam], he immediately realized the feasibility of this operation, and his eyes burst into light. It seemed as if a door to a new world was opened to him! (End of this chapter) Chapter 252 The truth of history, the root of disaster Chapter 252 The truth of history, the root of disaster Should the [Steam Heart] not be regarded as an external device, but integrated with other steam devices? But how can this be achieved? ?After being inspired by Shane, Thomas suddenly had many fantastic ideas in his mind. He was originally one of the most talented scientists of this era, otherwise he would not have been able to create such a magical creation as [Steam Heart]. ?There are some things that Thomas can''t think of. It''s not that he is stupid, but that he simply doesn''t have such a concept in his mind. It''s like telling a group of ancient people that electric lights, refrigerators, computers and other things will only make them confused and unable to understand. This is the limitation of the times. ?However, since Xia En has already spoken, he doesnt mind saying a few more words. First of all, the most critical issue is definitely the material issue. There needs to be a material that can make other steam devices think that the [Steam Heart] is a part of them. Of course, special secret powers can also do this, for example, engraving magic patterns in the [Heart of Steam] Speaking, Xia En himself was stunned. He suddenly recalled the many small runes in the [Heart of Steam] in later generations. Now that he thought about it, they were probably variations of the magic runes. In other words, magic pattern technology is actually the basis of [Heart of Steam]. No wonder [Heart of Steam] gradually became perfected after the magic pattern developed and grew. It turns out there is such a connection between the two ??While Xia En was thinking, he looked up and saw Thomas with two mustaches looking at him with admiration, his eyes were extremely fiery. Sir...oh no, master! Please sit down! Please say a few more words! ?Thomas enthusiastically took out a chair, ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, and chatted with Shane enthusiastically about the many details of [Heart of Steam]. ?Shane showed no timidity at all and chatted with Thomas. Xia En is no longer the ignorant young man he was at the beginning. ?The various sights and experiences at sea during this period have already broadened his horizons. In terms of experience, Xia En is not inferior to those old captains who have been wandering at sea for half their lives. ?Especially after meeting Carles again, Shane went to Feiya to gain some knowledge about steam machinery. Coupled with the concepts and thoughts that were far ahead of this era, a few words he casually said can bring a lot of inspiration to Thomas. Soon, a rather strange scene occurred in this venue, which was not very crowded ? Thomas, the owner of the exhibition, and his technicians were as well-behaved as college students, listening to the explanation of a mysterious man in black robes. Its like This is like the opponent''s home court. ?Thomas would ask some questions from time to time, and the man in black robe would answer them patiently. There is quite a "sitting and discussing" atmosphere. ?Such a strange sight naturally attracted many passers-by to watch. The current [City of Giant Woods] has gathered a large number of talented people from all walks of life, including mechanics at the forefront of steam technology. ?These people obviously know their stuff. After hearing a few words from the man in black robe, they were immediately shocked and called their companions to watch together. One spreads it to ten, and ten spreads it to a hundred. It didnt take long before a large number of people who were studying steam technology gathered in the previously deserted venue. ?Other passers-by were also curious as to why there were so many people gathered here and came to join in the fun, causing the entire venue to be overcrowded and packed. The steam mechanics all looked at the man in black robes on the stage with wonder, admiration, and envy. They are all keenly aware that from today on, steam technology will probably usher in a period of explosive development! ??In the crowd, Laila looked at Xia En, who was the focus of everyone''s attention. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up into a smile, and her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons. She has a little pride and sweetness in her heart. Look, thats the one Ive chosen! That''s who I like! How awesome! How amazing! ?Girls always hope that their sweetheart is a hero with colorful auspicious clouds. ??Although Laila is no longer a simple girl, she is also happy that Sean has been recognized and admired by people. In the middle of the venue, looking at the people in the audience, Thomas''s heart was pounding. He was both a steam mechanic and a businessman. So, Thomas naturally understood what this scene meant. ?His [Heart of Steam] will probably get a lot of attention as a result, and the funding problem will be greatly alleviated. ??He has persisted in research for so long and endured the long-term incomprehension of his relatives and friends, and finally it has come to fruition. ?Thomas''s eyes were sore, and he had the urge to cry. ?He looked at Xia En gratefully and bowed sincerely: "Master, thank you, I really... thank you very much." Thank me for what? ?Shaan waved his hand, pointed at the bloated generation [Heart of Steam] next to him and said, "Didn''t the research and development of this thing depend entirely on yourself?" I just made a small contribution. Thomas said sincerely: "Master, please tell me your name. I will try my best to repay you in the future." ?Xia En was stunned. ??He originally intervened in this matter, just casually, without thinking of anything in return. But at this time, Thomas'' eyes were very serious, and it was obvious that he was not just talking casually. Soon, Xia En smiled. ?Thomas is an unknown number of years away from his time, so even if he wanted to repay his kindness, it would be unrealistic, right? So, Xia En said casually: "In the future, if you encounter a ship called the [Black Swan], just help the captain of that ship." [Black Swan] ? Thomas chewed on the name, a little confused as to why the master suddenly mentioned the name of a ship. What is the relationship between this master and the captain? ?However, when Thomas raised his head again, the man in black robes in front of him had disappeared. There were only excited onlookers in the audience, waiting for his speech. As the light of the teleportation circle flashed by. ??Xia En and the two appeared in another corner of [City of Giant Woods]. Xia En took a long breath and said with emotion: "It''s so exciting to pretend to be cool and run away!" ?Laila looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Xia En, you have indeed become more powerful." Shaan shook his head: "I''m just standing on the shoulders of giants." He looked around and found that he and Laila had come to a quite remote and quiet space. Appears to be the interior of a tall tower. ?On the four walls, there are various books arranged in different categories, like a large library. ?Most of those books exude an ancient and extraordinary atmosphere, and they are obviously quite old. This is the library tower I built. ?Laila looked at the ancient books around and explained: "The ancient books collected by me and other elves over the years are placed here." Surprise...there are so many. Xia En looked surprised. He also realized at this moment that long-growing species do have advantages over short-growing species in terms of collection. The capital that humans can accumulate throughout their lives is just a short journey in life for elves. but ? Did Laila bring herself here just to show off her rich collection? At this time, Laila''s expression became serious, she stretched out her hand to cast a spell that blocked external perception, and then said. Actually, after leaving [Emerald Island], I have been thinking about a question Why do we, the elves, attract [Gods wrath]? Xia Ens heart jumped suddenly. Obviously, Laila had already begun to explore the truth behind this. Its just that for a **** like [Hui Siming], the more he knows, the closer the danger becomes. ?Shaan couldn''t help but feel a little worried when he looked at Laila. Laila''s expression was calm, but this also showed her firm determination. According to other elves in [Emerald Isle], my mother made a big mistake, which ultimately led to [Gods Wrath]. But I really dont understand, what did my mother do wrong? So, I began to investigate the whole story of the past incident. After some hard work, I found the manuscript left by my mother. Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. ??The reason why Laila left the [Emerald Island] was probably not only because she wanted to travel to the mainland, but also because of this. Speaking, Laila waved her hand, and a draft book on the highest wall flew into her hand. The answer lies in this manuscript. Leila continued: "It turns out that my mother had been conducting research on two things before she was alive." One is the study of Elvish language. The [Sound Seed] you swallowed before was one of the products she developed. The second is...time magic! Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. ?Time magic? ?The reason why he returned to this era is obviously related to time magic, but how does this have anything to do with Laila''s mother? ?As if she could see what Shane was thinking, Laila explained. I have done a lot of research on time magic. But as for the contents of my mothers manuscript, I can only control it for a few seconds at most, and the scope is extremely limited. Your time travel should not have much to do with this. Xia En thought for a moment, quickly realized something, frowned and said. "You mean...the mistake your mother made was actually the study of Elvish language?" Thats right. ?Laila nodded heavily, opened the manuscript, and turned to a certain page. ?Xia En looked closely and saw a few lines of scrawled text where Laila was pointing. Elvish is a language that is closer to the essence of the secret power than other languages. Reciting the true name of the **** in Elvish language, and adding some prefixes and modifications, seems to bring some special influence. I found the name of an ancient **** from a book. What will happen if I pronounce this name? I''m very curious. Perhaps, this is the further hope of our elves. ?Xia En frowned and vaguely guessed a part of the truth. name. Especially the real name, which has special extraordinary characteristics. ?Now it seems that even the gods are restricted by their true names. ?And the Elvish language can actually exert influence on the gods. Even if this restraint is not strong, it is still very unusual. ?Furthermore, this kind of thing will definitely make the gods wary and even disgusting. They are high-altitude gods. But now, there is actually a race whose language, just knowing the true name, can have an influence on them, even threaten them. ?This is undoubtedly against the taboos of the gods! Combined with the coming of [Wrath of God] and the arrival of [Apostle of Filth and Chaos]. ?Shaan makes a bold guess... ?At that time, the name of the **** that Laila''s mother called was none other than [Husi Ming] from outside this world! Perhaps, in [Hui Siming]s view, this is a provocation! In the eyes of the gods of this world, they also want to give this ignorant person a small punishment. Thus, this is the [Wrath of God] imposed on the elves. This can also explain why [Hui Siming], an external god, can extend part of his sense of touch into this world. Among them, there may be the tacit approval of the local gods. But after that, [Huisi Ming] obviously didn''t want to give up, so he took this opportunity to invade this world, trying to draw the power of filth and chaos from it. By the time the local gods came to their senses, it was already too late, and there would be a great flood that swept the world. The truth, is it like this? ?Shane organized the known information in his mind and connected them from dots to lines. ?Of course, these ideas are just his speculations. There are also many loopholes and contradictions in them, and more verification is needed. But this guess can indeed explain many problems. At this time, Xia En gathered his thoughts and looked at Laila in front of him. ?Laila''s appearance was still beautiful, but her eyes were filled with irresolvable sadness as she murmured. Mr. Shane, you should already understand, right? If this is really the case, then all disasters, including the floods that submerged the world, were caused by my mother. And I am indeed the daughter of a sinner. ??If Laila is a heartless girl, she can naturally put aside all her worries. But she is not. She is kind and strong, but has her own persistence and perseverance. So, she will naturally bear those sins and those innocent people who died in the disaster in her heart. ?At this moment, Xia En understood why Laila tried her best to become the Queen of the Elves and why she worked hard to change the [City of Giant Woods]. ?That''s not just because of the commitment with him. ??Its more because Laila wants to wash away this guilt, wants to have a clear conscience, and wants to let more people survive future disasters. Nothats not right! Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind. The disaster happened not just because of your mothers attempts, there must be other reasons. ?Laila looked a little confused: "Why do you say that?" Ancient dragon! The destruction of the ancient dragon clan! ?Xia En suddenly grabbed this light and explained. The demise of the ancient dragon is very similar to the demise of the elves. They both died suddenly during their most prosperous period. The influence of Elvish language on the true names of the gods may explain the extinction of the Elven race. But will the ancient dragons also perish for the same reason? (End of this chapter) Chapter 253 "Tonight, stay" Chapter 253 "Tonight, stay..." Shanes logic is simple. Just like the destruction of the elves, there are many doubts. In more ancient times, the sudden demise of the ancient dragon race was also one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the world. The truth has long been buried by the sands of history and shrouded behind layers of fog. These two races that ruled different eras have many similarities. Especially their sudden destruction, there is a high degree of unity. ??The only difference is that the elves have an additional [Curse of Aphasia], but the ancient dragons have not lost their language. ??If we say, the elves really perished because of the influence of the Elvish language on the true names of the gods. ?Is the extinction of the ancient dragon also due to this reason? The answer is obviously no. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Besides, ancient dragons are different from elves who are good at learning and research. They rely more on their own bodies and talents. ? Even without studying or training, just by growing naturally, Gu Long will have legendary level combat power when he reaches adulthood. Hence, it is impossible for them to conduct in-depth study of their own language like Laila''s mother did. This also shows that there are other reasons for the demise of the ancient dragon. Perhaps, it was also that reason that led to the destruction of the elves. ? And Lailas mothers research was just a trigger. Another fact that can support this conjecture is... ?Hundred years have passed since the last [Wrath of God] in [Emerald Island], and the elves are still the most powerful race in the world. The prosperity and prosperity of [City of Giant Trees] also shows that the time for the elves seems to have not yet come. There is still a long time before sudden destruction. ?Xia En preconceivedly regarded [God''s Wrath] as the main cause of the elves'' demise. But now it seems that this may not be the case. ?Laila is naturally extremely smart to be in the position she is in today. As soon as her mind turned around, she figured out the reason why Xia En mentioned the ancient dragon, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly. You mean... Even without my mothers research, [the wrath of God] is still possible? Will the elves still perish? ?Shaan nodded: "That''s right." But this is just my guess. After all, the age of ancient dragons is too far away from us. ?Laila thought carefully for a long time, and finally sighed: "No matter what, the coming of [God''s wrath] has something to do with my mother." This is a responsibility I cannot shirk. "but" ??The girl who was about to become the queen raised her head and smiled at Xia En, with stars twinkling in her eyes. I feel much better after hearing your words. Thank you, Shane. Hearing this, Xia En felt a little sad. From the moment we met until now, Laila has never asked him how he came here or how long he will stay here. Xia En also tacitly did not mention this matter. But he knew very well that he would eventually leave. ?His current body is just a [projection body]. When the progress bar in the corner of your vision reaches (0/100), it''s time for Xia En to leave. ?At that time, Laila will become alone again and have to face the unknown future and disaster alone. Thinking of this, Xia En sighed softly: "That''s all I can do." What do you mean only these? ?Laila opened her eyes wide and said extremely seriously. Honestly, this is the happiest day Ive had in over a hundred years. Not only did I eat delicious food that I hadnt eaten in a long time, but I also let go of my guard and worries and had fun in the city for the first time in a long time. The most important thing is that I also met the people I have always wanted to meet. When she said this, Laila''s beautiful eyes were always staring at Xia En. Xia En couldn''t help but feel a tremble in his heart, because he saw... At this moment, there was only his reflection in those eyes. To be honest, this is the first time that Xia En has encountered such a "straight ball" offensive. He had to admit that these hundred years had not only improved Laila''s strength and knowledge, but also shaped her character. ??Now Laila is no longer the shy and timid girl she used to be. She only keeps many thoughts deep in her heart. ?Of course, she will still be shy if she is shy. ?The reddish cheeks and fluttering eyelashes are proof of that. But Laila could endure the shyness to say these words, which is enough to show her change. ?Shaan made up his mind and was about to respond when he heard Laila continue. So many happy things are added together, and the result is a wonderful time like a dream. But I still have a small regret in my heart. Mr. Shane, would you like to do me a favor and make up for this regret? ?Laila said it sincerely, and the hint of regret and sadness didn''t seem to be fake. Naturally, Xia En had no reason to refuse. Of course I do. Hearing this, a beautiful smile like a flower suddenly bloomed on Laila''s face. As long as you are willing. The next moment. The teleportation circle appeared again at the feet of the two of them. After a brief period of turmoil. Shaan found that he had left the previous library tower. The first thing that catches the eye is a large bed made of woven grass and trees. "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows and realized something was wrong. First of all, this large bed is woven from a special kind of plant. It looks extremely soft and exudes a refreshing fragrance of grass and trees. On the big bed, there are many soft petals scattered, which makes the big bed fresh and exquisite. ??The amazing thing is that there is a faint fragrance in the air around the big bed. ?Like the fragrance of flowers or some other fragrance. I have to say, this is indeed a good bed! After people see it, they will naturally have the urge to go up and roll around. Xia En glanced around him with his peripheral vision, and immediately recognized that this was probably the interior of a palace. ?Except for the big bed, the interior furnishings of the palace are quite simple, and only some details reveal the girl''s delicate thoughts. There are flowers placed in the corner and some vines climbing on the palace walls. ?There are many books placed on the bedside cabinet. In a corner of the palace, there is even a disassembled steam engine! From the surface, this place doesnt really look like a girls boudoir, but Xia En can tell at a glance ?This palace is Laila''s bedroom. Aware of this, even with Xia En''s determination, his throat couldn''t help but feel a little dry. Its midnight, a man and a woman alone. ?Lailas intention of bringing him here seems to be clear. but Can [Projection Body] really do that kind of thing? ?Although he can breathe and eat, he has never tested his ability in that area. But since one can control blood, then controlling a certain part should also... ?Xia Ens brain was a little confused, so he started thinking about some random things to distract his attention. at the same time. ?Laila looked at him with a smile. ?This girl''s appearance is inherently beautiful, and now under the light of fluorescent light, she is even more stunning. ??The slim and delicate figure is hidden under the wide queen''s dress. Nobility and innocence, purity and charm. ?These contradictory temperaments are harmoniously combined at this moment, bursting out with amazing charm. ?At this moment, her grace was breathtakingly beautiful. ?At this time, a faint fragrance came - it was a fragrance similar to that around the big bed. ?Laila hugged Xia En and said softly. The favor I want to ask you for is... Tonight, stay... ?Shane never expected that the regret Laila wanted to fill would be this. Let him agree in advance and there will be no room for regret. But such carefulness is not annoying at all. To be honest, in front of Laila like this, Shane couldn''t say no. But the problem is Why refuse? If its just one night Xia En opened his mouth, and the words of promise were already on his lips. But all of a sudden! Boom! ! A roar as huge as thunder suddenly came from outside the palace. Following this, there was an extremely violent vibration. The walls, floor, ceiling... not only began to tremble, but even deformed quite a bit. This is no small matter. ?This is the palace of a candidate queen, and even this place was affected by this shock, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation. ?Shane and Laila looked at each other, and the charming atmosphere before was gone. ?Although it is a pity, they are all smart people and naturally know the importance of things. Where is this palace located in [City of Giant Woods]? ?Xia En asked immediately. This is on a branch of the Elf Mother Tree Halfway through her words, Laila''s expression suddenly changed: "No! The enemy''s target is the Elf Mother Tree!" ?Laila acted extremely decisively, quickly cast a teleportation spell, and took Xia En outside the palace. The two of them looked down, their expressions became ugly. Under the trunk of the Elf Mother Tree, pitch-black flames were burning, burning the vigorous vitality in the air. Successive explosions sounded from all directions on the tree trunk. Obviously, it was this explosion that caused the Elf Mother Tree to shake violently. This power ?Laila looked solemn and murmured: "It''s the dark elf!?" As a queen who is about to ascend the throne, Laila naturally has a lot of understanding of the hostile group of dark elves. ?But at this moment, Xia En noticed the strange movement in the other direction of [City of Giant Woods], and couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. Thats I saw, starting from the edge of the city, a dark and deep wave slowly but surely surged over. In any area encompassed by that wave, all light was quickly swallowed up and covered up. The city that was still bustling and lively before was suddenly submerged by less than half of the wave of darkness. Xia En is no stranger to this dark wave. ??The last "Wrath of God" in "Emerald Isle", didn''t it start with such a wave? Could it be said that another [Gods wrath] has descended on the [City of Giant Trees]? ?Laila also clearly recognized the arrival of the dark wave, and her expression changed slightly. But after all, she has experienced a hundred years of growth, and is even about to become a queen. So, Laila said loudly without hesitation. People of [City of Giant Woods], guests from all over the world, dont panic! I am the elf queen who is about to ascend the throne, Lyra Vivian! Please seek refuge at the nearest shelter immediately! Elf warriors, take up your weapons and defend your homeland! ?Her voice was blessed by magic and spread throughout the city. For a time, it drowned out the huge roar. Not only that, the magic patterns on the surface of Laila''s long skirt suddenly bloomed with an unusually dazzling jade green light. ?Like a miniature sun, rising slowly in this increasingly chaotic [City of Giant Trees]. ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little moved. ?He looked at Laila, who was acting vigorously and resolutely at this time. The charming look on her face no longer remained, only decisiveness, resoluteness and majesty remained! ?That is the attitude a queen should have! In other words, the beautiful appearance before was a beauty that would only be revealed in front of Xia En alone. ??Moreover, judging from the special magic pattern and the shelters that have been built in the city... ?Layla had prepared for this situation many years ago. Laila, you have really grown up a lot... ?Xia En sighed in his heart and felt a little happy about this. but Leila Vivian? ?This was the first time Shane heard Laila''s full name. The name Vivian inevitably reminded him of the ghost lady from the Black Swan. ??Xia En secretly guessed: "Do Vivian and Laila really have some kind of special connection?" At the beginning, [Laila''s Magic Notes] happened to be discovered next to Vivian''s crystal coffin. ?Thinking about it this way, this is probably not just a coincidence. Its just that now is not the time to think about these issues. ?After Laila appeared, several elf guards wearing magic pattern armor came to her side soon. ?Laila asked the leading guard: "What happened?" Is it the work of the dark elves? The guard said solemnly: "Yes." That group of **** who betrayed the goddess of life suddenly emerged from the ground and used their secret power to trigger a special explosion, causing serious damage to the Elf Mother Tree. Underground? ?Laila frowned slightly. This attack by the dark elves has obviously been planned for a long time, and the purpose is to destroy the elf mother tree in the [City of Giant Trees]. ?That pitch-black flame seems to be the nemesis of the Elf Mother Tree. Preventing the flames from continuing to spread is undoubtedly a top priority. Thinking of this, Laila said decisively: "I will extinguish those black flames, and you will try to protect the safety of other civilians." In that darkness, the Elvish language will be sealed, but the magic pattern equipment can still be used. After giving the order, Laila took Xia En''s hand and used the teleportation circle again regardless of the surprised looks of others. When they reappeared, the two of them were on the ground next to the Elf Mother Tree. The black flames are rapidly destroying the surface of the giant tree, igniting the vigorous vitality. It''s just that after the black flames burned, what was left was not charcoal, but a trace of decay and dryness. Rather than burning, it is more like greedily sucking the vitality of the Elf Mother Tree. Xia En narrowed his eyes: "This is the power of [Huisi Ming]!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 254 Kill trap, desperate situation! Chapter 254: Killing trap, desperate situation! ?This kind of mysterious power with a corrupting atmosphere is undoubtedly the signature feature of [Hui Siming]. Coupled with the familiar dark wave, the source of this turmoil is already obvious. ?But at this moment, His manifestation turned into filthy and burning black flames? What''s going on? ?Xia En frowned slightly, thinking about the reason behind this. [q˼] Besides, Laila''s expression suddenly became very solemn. ?When the suspicion became reality, she inevitably felt a little heavy, but she still explained it to Xia En. As far as I know, He has never appeared in our world in real form. It is only His apostles who cause the calamity of [Gods wrath]. And different apostles have different abilities. Xia En looked surprised: "That''s it." He couldn''t help but recall the [Filthy Apostle] he encountered before. ?The other party''s ability seems to be the heir to create that kind of filthy distortion. Aside from this point, His own strength is also quite impressive. Even if it was just a clone, Xia En and Yan Yan tried their best to defeat it. ?Of course, Xia Ens combat power is no longer what it used to be. ??If we encounter the [Filthy Apostle] again, it wont be as difficult and embarrassing as before. By the way, Yan Yan should be fine now? Xia En thought of this belatedly. ?However, Xia En is not worried about Yan Yan''s safety. ?With his immortality and strange fire ability, there is not much danger even in the current [City of Giant Trees]. But the question is, if Yan Yan cannot reach him in time after Xia En''s ship soul power is exhausted, will he stay in this era? ?Just thinking about this possibility made Xia En a little worried. at the same time. ?Laila looked at the elf mother tree that was eroded by the black flames, with a trace of empathetic sadness in her eyes. As a candidate for queen recognized by the Elf Mother Tree and the Goddess of Life, Laila has already established a deeper connection with this giant tree. Hence, she can also feel the pain when the Elf Mother Tree is burned. ?Laila gently stroked the dry tree trunk, and a bright green light appeared on her fingertips. Wherever the light shines, the black flames begin to extinguish, and even the rotten bark shows signs of rejuvenation. At the same time, Laila said to Shane: "This is a secret technique that can only be mastered by the Elf Queen. It can quickly heal the injuries of the Elf Mother Tree." But the disadvantage is that it requires full devotion to the secret power. Mr. Shane, from now on, Im going to ask you to protect me. "As long as you hold on for a while, the elven guards will arrive here..." simultaneously! Before Laila finished speaking, a scream in the air suddenly sounded in their ears. ??In mid-air, a dark shadow stream suddenly tore through the atmosphere and went straight to Laila''s back. Dang! With quick eyes and quick hands, Xia En reached out and grabbed the stream of light. The huge force carried by it made his palms tremble slightly. Immediately, the secret power in the stream of light suddenly began to violently explode, as if it was about to explode! The appearance of the shadow flowing like an arrow is just an appearance. The real killer move is its secondary detonation! Xia En''s expression remained unchanged as he compressed the domain power of [Great Dark Sky] in his palm. ?There was only a muffled sound of "bang", and the secret power in the shadow exploded, but it was suppressed by a stronger force and could not escape at all. In the end, it was completely swallowed up and absorbed by Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky]. Poof! ?In the corner not far away, an elf with a dark gray complexion suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes. How is it possible? My secret power was absorbed by him?! ?However, before the dark elf could issue a warning, his companions had already rushed out like an arrow. The reason is simple ??The goal of their trip, the owner of [City of Giant Wood] and the only candidate for the Elf Queen, is right there! ?As long as that woman is killed, this operation to subvert [City of Giant Woods] will be at least half successful! Go to hell, you lackeys of false gods! Kill her! In an instant, in the surrounding darkness, several dark elves with strong auras were shouting and attacking Laila. ?Obviously, the halo blooming around Laila is as eye-catching as the sun in the [City of Giant Trees] shrouded in waves of darkness. ?This not only attracted the attention of the elves and visitors from other countries, but also attracted the malicious eyes of the enemies. Nothats not right! ?Shaan suddenly realized something: "The dark elf most likely knew that Laila would come to the trunk of the elf mother tree, so that''s why she got here so quickly!" This is a kill shot against Laila! ?Shaan glanced at Laila with his peripheral vision and found that her expression did not change and she was still continuing to treat the Elf Mother Tree. In other words, she gave her back completely to herself. Do you just believe me? Feeling this trust, Xia En raised a smile on his lips. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. In order to live up to this trust, he also wanted to stop all these dark elves. The next moment. Xia En''s body shook, leaving an afterimage in place. ?His true form has already arrived in front of a dark elf, and with a gentle squeeze of his big hand, he crushed the other person''s throat. So fast Such an astonishing speed made the hearts of many dark elves jump. An old and pale dark elf was surprised at first, and then showed disdain. ?Although Xia En''s display was fast, it was only the aura of the fourth level. There was a huge difference between it and the strong ones of the fifth and sixth levels. ?Such a weak guy actually wants to stop them? For this operation, the dark elves can be said to have come out in full force. Not to mention the fifth-level and sixth-level tribesmen, there are even three seventh-level legendary powerhouses! ?Of course, there will only be more powerful people from the elves. What they have to do is to kill this black-robed man and Laila as soon as possible before the powerful elves arrive! ??The dark elf old man saw that Shane was the last obstacle in front of Laila, so he gave a decisive order. Kill this ignorant boy! ??Two fourth-level dark elves took the lead in pounced on Qianye, their long swords pointed directly at the weak spot under his ribs, and the swords were fierce and swift, as if they were elites. Dark elves and elves have a similar inheritance, and their attainments in swordsmanship and combat skills are equally high. ??However, Xia En had no intention of getting entangled with this kind of minions. He shouted loudly and unleashed all his strength without any reservation. He punched out with two punches and instantly broke the hearts of two fourth-level dark elves. On the surface, he is only at the fourth level, but his argumentative power has already reached the fifth level. Ordinary people of the same level, in front of Xia En, will only end up being killed instantly! Several fourth-level dark elves are holding the rear position, preparing to take action. ??Seeing this scene, they were horrified, and their feet that were about to be raised hurriedly nailed them to the ground. They watched Xia En rush past in front of them, not daring to move. ?Xia En didn''t bother to pay attention to him, and passed by like the wind, heading straight for the old dark elf in the crowd. ?This old man seems to be the leader of this group of assassins. Catch the thief first and capture the king first! ??The old man''s wrinkled eyelids twitched. He held a sword in one hand and stared at Xia En with his dark gray eyes. Seeking death! He is a dark elf at the peak of the fifth level, just one step away from breaking through. How could you be afraid of this fourth-level kid? The old man opened his palms, and a large net of shadows shot towards Xia En. ?The shadow is deep and obscure, extremely cold, and sharp as a knife. Leaves dark traces wherever it passes, which will not fade away for a long time. ?However, Xia En did not dodge, as if he had actively thrown himself into this big net. "Um?" ??The old man frowned slightly, feeling that Xia En''s behavior of throwing himself into a trap was very strange. But the arrogance in his heart overcame this strange feeling, and his face subconsciously showed a "succeeded" expression. But at the moment when the black-robed mans body came into contact with the shadow net! The sight of blood flying everywhere that the old man expected did not happen. Not only that, he also instantly lost control of the big net. This, this is?! ??The old man was inevitably a little distracted by this sudden change. But soon he realized what was happening. ??The secret power of the shadow net did not dissipate, but merged into the body of the man in black robes like a baby swallow. ?The old man was shocked and input more secret power in an attempt to regain control. But once he came into contact with Xia En''s secret power, he was immediately defeated. It often takes seven or eight secret powers to destroy Xia En''s secret power. The old man pointed at Xia En and said in a trembling voice: "The realm...you, you have the realm of the Law of Shadows!" The realm of the Law of Shadows? Hearing this title, Xia En raised his eyebrows. Great Dark Skyis indeed deeply connected with shadows, but the power it controls is not just about shadows. ?Xia En''s thoughts flashed through his mind, but his movements did not stop at all. The fist passed through the old man''s throat and directly broke his neck. At this time, text flashed on the panel. Comprehensive quality: 5.85.81! After absorbing the enemy''s secret power of shadow, his overall quality has improved unexpectedly! ?Although the increase is very small, there are still many dark elves at the moment! ?Shaan looked around, excitement flashing in his eyes. ?He didnt expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise. In his eyes, the dark elves are no longer ordinary enemies, but have become delicious experience packages. ?Shaan turned his head and once again killed the dark elves who dared to approach Laila. Without the command of a leader, these dark elves were like a piece of scattered sand, and naturally they were no match for Xia En. ?However, Xia En did not relax his vigilance, and even frowned deeper. The first batch of dark elves to arrive are generally of low strength. The real strong man among the dark elves has not yet appeared. ?Furthermore, why havent the reinforcements from the elves arrived yet? Not long. Xia En crushed the throat of a dark elf again, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. ?Those dark elves who were still alive retreated silently, looking in a direction in the darkness with respect and admiration. There is confidence in their eyes. It seems that the arrival of the other party will definitely turn the tide of the war. ?Xia En turned his head to look, his brows suddenly furrowed. There were three people coming from the darkness! A tall and silent man with scars of various sizes all over his body. ?That ferocious temperament seems to come from hell! Behind the man are a pair of twin sisters who look very similar. ??It''s just that the temperaments of the two sisters are completely different. One is as cold as ice, and the other is as violent as fire. But without exception, they all showed strong hostility towards Shane. The most important thing is... ?These three people all exude the aura of the sixth level! Three sixth levels? ?Xia Ens eyelids twitched and he realized something was wrong again. ?This is the [City of Giant Woods], the home of the elves! How could three powerful sixth-level dark elves arrive first? ?Even so far, no reinforcements from the elves have appeared! ?Xia Ens figure flashed, came to Lailas side, and spoke. Something is wrong! "Reinforcements may not come! We have to get out of here as soon as possible!" Xia En is still very self-aware. For him to be at the fourth level, it was already considered a great feat to kill a fifth level strong man. But against the sixth level, the odds of winning can only be described as "very slim". Besides, the enemies at this time are still three sixth-level enemies! ?Laila had been concentrating on treating the Elf Mother Tree before. Now she heard this and realized that the situation was abnormal. What? How could this happen? ?After being briefly surprised, Laila immediately gave up on healing the elf mother tree and prepared to use the teleportation circle to leave. However, the moment the magic circle was formed, it encountered extremely strong resistance. The formation was distorted and deformed. "snort." ?Laila snorted and turned a little pale. This was the backlash caused by the failure to cast the spell. No, this space is blocked by a special force! At this time. ??The woman''s laughter came from not far away: "The elf queen candidate''s teleportation magic is so accomplished that everyone on the street knows it." How could we not be on guard against this? The person who spoke was the woman with a fierce temperament. Among the dark elves, the status of women is actually higher than that of men. And she is the actual decision-maker among the three, Heya. Heya stared at Laila''s face and sneered: "Are you still waiting for reinforcements to arrive?" Dont worry, they wont come. ?Laila''s eyes swept around and quickly came to a conclusion. Is it a barrier? Thats right, its a barrier. As if she had plenty of time, and seemed to want to enjoy the desperate expression shown by the Elf Queen, Heya did not take action immediately, but explained patiently. This is a barrier created by three legendary strongmen of our clan who sacrificed their lives. "Even if it is the legend of the elves, it will take at least three days to break it from the outside." And in three days, they will see a dead queen and a dying elf mother tree! ?Hya had a crazy and twisted smile on her face. Im really looking forward to it. What kind of expressions will they show when they see that scene? ?Laila remained calm and calm, and said calmly: "Are you so sure that you can defeat me?" Bluff! Heya chuckled and said, "Although you are at level six, you have spent too much energy on useless aspects." In the field of combat, you are not even a match for any of us. ?Xia En frowned. The current situation is undoubtedly terrible. Traps set in advance, absolute disparity in strength, disparity in numbers, reinforcements that will never arrive. No matter how you look at it, this is a desperate situation! But in a desperate situation, there is still a glimmer of hope! An idea flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he captured the vitality. But at this moment. The previous words seemed to have worn away the last of Heya''s patience. Her eyes flashed fiercely, and she rushed directly towards Laila and the two. Suffer death! The next moment. The turbulent and deep darkness expanded outwards with Xia En as the center. In an instant, the inside of this barrier was completely enveloped... (End of this chapter) Chapter 255 Fight against the sixth level! Survival from desperate situation! Chapter 255: Fight against the sixth level! Survival from desperate situation! This is...the realm! Looking at the thick darkness surrounding him, Heya''s expression changed slightly. The three of them are all sixth-level experts, so they can naturally recognize the existence of the realm. But what surprised the three people even more was the power of shadow contained in this field. Abu, a tall man with scars all over his body, frowned and said. This power seems to come from the same source as my lord. Could it be that...he is also one of the favored ones of God? Heya''s twin sister Hesa ??shook her head and said coldly: "The secret power in this field is so mixed that it simply blasphemes the pure shadow." Perhaps, that guy stole the secret power of shadow from somewhere. Thats how we created this different realm. ?Her expression was cold, but her tone was full of murderous intent. ??The Dark Elves turned to the arms of the Shadow God after being banished to the Underdark by the Goddess of Life. ? And Xia Ens [Great Dark Sky] mixed with several secret powers is undoubtedly regarded as a kind of blasphemy by her. At this time, Heya''s expression had returned to normal, and she sneered: "Don''t worry, no matter how powerful that little guy is, he is only a fourth-level person." In this area, the most we can do is delay it for a little longer. It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of expression that woman will show after her last hope is shattered. Haya is full of confidence and her eyes are full of expectations. They have waited too long and sacrificed too much for this plan. At this moment, we have finally reached the final step of realizing the plan. What can we do if we wait a little longer? The deepest part of the [Great Dark Sky]. ?Laila''s expression was more solemn than ever before, and she tried her best to find flaws in this barrier. But after searching carefully for a moment, she let out a long sigh. No, this barrier was set up by a legendary powerhouse, and my level of secret power is not enough to shake its foundation. A difference of one level is a huge difference. Sorry, Mr. Shane, I am dragging you down this time. Xia En shook his head: "If you insist on saying it, it''s actually me who put you in this dangerous situation." Under normal circumstances, Laila would definitely be accompanied by a lot of elf guards. ??Had it not been for Shane''s appearance, Laila would not have abandoned these guards and stepped into this trap. ?But at this point, it is meaningless to discuss these issues. The most important thing is, how to break the situation! Xia En''s mind flashed and he asked: "Laila, compared with those three dark elves, which one is stronger or weaker in terms of your combat power?" Laila thought after thinking and said: "The three of them are all strong men among the dark elves who are famous for their combat capabilities." One-on-one, I am sure to beat any one of them. But if you want to kill, you have to spend a lot of time. Among the Secret Pathers, "defeating" and "killing" are two different concepts. ??And just as Heya said, Laila''s talent is not only used in combat, but also hard work in fields such as magic patterns, steam technology, and architecture. ?In terms of combat power alone, it is actually not much stronger than the average sixth level. ??And if one of the sixth-level players cannot be killed quickly, Laila will be surrounded by three people. By then, defeat will only be a matter of time. ?Thinking of this, Laila couldn''t help but feel a little guilty. In the final analysis, she is still too weak. ?At this moment, Laila heard Xia En say. So, if you are allowed to temporarily have the legendary realm, can you defeat the three of them? A temporary legend? ?Laila was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "I can!" Still, the sixth level and the legend are separated by a sky! ?Just like Laila can''t break through this strange barrier no matter what. ??As long as she becomes a legend, no matter how bad she is at fighting, the Heya trio will never be her opponents. Hearing this, Xia En no longer hesitated, took out the [Twilight Black Pearl] and handed it to Laila, saying. This is the [Twilight Black Pearl] that can temporarily break through the ranks. I will delay the time for you, and you can absorb the secret power as soon as possible. ??Although Laila was surprised that he still had such a secret treasure, she didn''t ask anything and just nodded heavily. I will. The two of them looked at each other and said nothing. ?Shaan believes that Laila can absorb the secret power of [Twilight Black Pearl] and temporarily enter the realm of legend. ?And Laila also believed that Shane could buy herself precious time. Soon, Xia En turned around and walked into the boundless darkness. Hand around, I cant see my fingers. In the dead darkness, it seemed that only the sound of my own heartbeat and breathing echoed. Several dark elves walked forward cautiously in twos and twos. They have all realized that there is great danger hidden in this darkness, and it will also cause great obstacles to perception. If they were deeply involved in this, they would probably make the sky and the earth inoperable. Fortunately, the power of three sixth-level experts is helping them resist the erosion of darkness. The best way to deal with domains is to expand domains at the same time. ??The three Heyas used their own domains to include the dark elves in order to resist Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky]. Suddenly. In the vast expanse of darkness, a brilliant starlight lit up. As soon as this starlight appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present. The dark elves clenched their weapons and activated their secret power. ??As long as Heya gives the order, they will use all their strength to carry out deadly killing moves. But in the next moment. ??There was a groan from the crowd. Heya turned around and saw a fifth-level dark elf falling silently. In his chest, there was a sharp blade made of shadows. Damn it! Heya cursed secretly. How could she not see that she had fallen into the enemy''s tactic of attacking in the east and attacking in the west? And to kill a fifth-level strong man in such a short period of time, the opponent''s strength obviously cannot be measured by ordinary fourth-level ones. Heya immediately suppressed most of his contempt and ordered. Everyone prepare defensive spells and move on. With the blessing of defensive spells, everyone will undoubtedly have more confidence when marching. It''s just that they didn''t realize that the secret power of the spells around them was quietly decreasing. Its like being sucked away bit by bit by an invisible mouth. Not long after the previous starlight disappeared. In the darkness in the other direction, another group of light appeared. Heya immediately focused his attention on the crowd in case the enemy suddenly attacked. She will not fall for the same move a second time! At this time. A dark elf couldn''t help but exclaimed: "Lord Heya, the starlight...that starlight!" "Um?" Heya realized something was wrong belatedly and turned her head sharply. ??In the thick darkness, countless stars converged into a slender and straight spear, flying towards them in an instant. Heya''s pupils shrank, and she stretched out her hand to block the starlight spear. However, the target of this spear is not her at all! Rather, they are the weakest fourth-level elves in the crowd. simultaneously! The starlight spear flashed past in the darkness. The three dark elves were penetrated by it without any resistance, and were nailed together like candied haws on a string. The terrifying secret power destroyed their vitality in an instant, leaving them unable to even scream. The dark elves next to him were horrified to see it. They are not afraid of frontal fighting, but this kind of attack from the darkness is really frightening. I feel even more aggrieved when I die. This time, is this the real killing move? He Yas face was quite ugly. Several members of her race actually died in front of her. ?At this moment, Heya realized that the enemy hiding in the darkness was far more cunning and dangerous than she expected. ?This kind of sneak attack that combines virtual reality is extremely difficult to guard against! ??It''s like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to pounce out and bite you at any time. Ordinary tribesmen not only cannot hurt each other, but will also become a burden to their own side. ?Thinking of this, Heya made a quick decision and shouted softly. Everyone who is below the sixth level, please retreat to the boundary of the barrier and wait for orders! Hessa, Abu, expand the territory with all your strength, crush this territory to me! Not far away, Xia En sighed softly. Sixth level strong men are really not that easy to deal with. I have to say that Heyas decision really hit Xia Ens side. ??Even though he took action one after another and killed several dark elves, it seemed that he had gained a lot of advantage. ?That''s because they had the home advantage of [Big Dark Sky], coupled with the sudden sneak attack, it caught people off guard. ??Moreover, even if he launched a sneak attack, Xia En did not take the initiative to attack Heya and the others. The reason is simple. In terms of hard power, he is definitely no match for a sixth-level powerhouse! With a fourth-level body, it is not easy to kill a fifth-level one across the ranks. Facing enemies that are two levels apart, it is too difficult to confront them head-on. ?At this time, Heya decided to use the power of the domain to crush the [Great Dark Sky]. It seemed like a thankless decision, but in fact it was an upright use of force to break the situation. She just bullied Xia En because of her low rank and insufficient secret power. This is a naked conspiracy! Being able to put aside his contempt and change his strategy in such a short period of time is enough to illustrate Heya''s fighting wisdom. Become a sixth-level strong man, no matter which race you are, you are not a simple person! Soon, Xia Ens brows frowned tightly. He sensed that three forces from similar but different domains began to stir and run rampant in the darkness. Great Dark SkyAlthough it has the ability to absorb other secret powers in the field, there is an upper limit to this absorption. Especially the secret power of the sixth level, swallowing it is like swallowing a knife, it is extremely uncomfortable. However, once she gives up [Great Dark Sky], Laila who is using [Twilight Black Pearl] will be exposed immediately and become the target of public criticism. So, Xia En gritted his teeth and prepared to resist a wave of force, and then take action himself to attract the attention of the three people. Just how powerful are three sixth-order realms? ?In just a moment, the [Great Dark Sky] began to shake, and the darkness gradually faded, as if it might collapse at any time. Suddenly. ??A mysterious mysterious power was instilled into the vast darkness. It has temporarily stabilized. "This is?" Xia En''s heart skipped a beat and he looked at the elf mother tree in the center. This secret power contains vigorous vitality. Obviously, this is the help from the Elf Mother Tree! ??He is not completely without reinforcements. This elf mother tree is their backing. ?However, Xia En''s level is too low after all. Even if he is blessed with secret power, it is still unrealistic to surpass the realm of three sixth-level players. But as long as it drags on, there is hope for a comeback! I caught you At this moment, the taciturn scarred man Abu suddenly burst into light. He strode forward, his body like a cannonball rushing out. The target is surprisingly exactly where Xia En is! With the confrontation between the powers of the realm, the darkness of the [Great Dark Sky] is no longer as deep as it was originally, which also exposed Xia En. The howling of the wind sounded in the air. In an instant. ??Xia En felt a great sense of crisis in his heart, and heavy pressure suddenly came on him, making him feel that he was struggling to move forward. ? And the blade-like shadow made the skin on his body tingle slightly. At the critical moment, Xia En shouted loudly. Double Ship Soul! Power of the storm! ?Several surging and vast secret powers suddenly flowed through his body, causing his aura to surge, and then surge again! Facing this sixth-level dark elf, Xia En did not dare to have any luck and directly activated the second and third forms. Huh? ??Abu let out a sigh, but his movements did not stop at all, and he punched out! ??The feeling of being locked in Xia En''s heart became stronger and stronger. Obviously, this is one of the effects of the opponent''s field. ?Xia En could only punch with all his strength. Boom! The collision of fists and wind seemed to cause a small earthquake. ?The ground continued to break, with numerous spider web-like cracks appearing, and the nearby earth and rocks were crushed into powder. ?Xia En almost flew out upside down. But in the next moment, he disappeared into the darkness and appeared in a relatively safe place. ?Xia En lowered his head and glanced at his limp right arm. ??That punch just now broke his arm bone, and the heartbreaking pain kept coming. Even though [Projected Body] is not a normal body, it can also be injured, and repairing it will take time. On the panel. Ship Soul Power -22! Just one blow knocked off one-fifth of Shane''s "stamina bar", which shows how powerful Abu is. Normally, Xia En always used his absolute physical fitness to crush the secret path players of the same level. Now, he actually feels the same feeling as those enemies. ?As everyone knows, Xia En was surprised, but Heya and the other three were even more surprised. I received a punch from Abu and hes not dead yet? This Abu is the strongest warrior in the sixth level of the dark elf clan. ??He once fought his way into the deepest part of the Dark Territory, went under the twelve abyss, and single-handedly beheaded the head of a dark giant beast with the blood of an ancient dragon. Having tremendous strength, he can almost compete with legendary strong men. At this time, a fourth-level little guy actually received a punch from him and was not killed. This incident is really surprising. But thats the end of it. Abu grinned, revealing his pale teeth. "Your breath has been locked by me, there''s no point in escaping anywhere!" "However, it is an honor for you to die in my hands!" at the same time. Heya and Hesa ??have already rushed towards Xia En from left to right. But at this moment. A clear voice sounded inside the barrier. As long as I am here, who dares to hurt him? (End of this chapter) Chapter 256 The realm of legend, the power of law Chapter 256 The realm of legend, the power of law ?This voice is not loud, and the tone is even a little childish. But it carries a majesty that cannot be ignored, as well as a bone-chilling killing intent. ?But at this moment, Heya and the other three were approaching Xia En, how could they stop so easily? Heya and Hesa ??looked at each other, a cold light flashing in their eyes. Immediately, thousands of threads suddenly burst out from the shadows under the two people''s feet, connecting them to each other. ??This is a killing move developed by these twin sisters, and its power cannot be underestimated. In the blink of an eye. ?Countless shadow threads crisscrossed and struck, trying to cut Xia En''s body into countless pieces. ?At the same time, Abu''s figure also came up behind Xia En, and hit him in the back of the heart with a heavy punch like thunder! ??If this punch hits, even a sixth-level expert will be killed on the spot! There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind. In addition, the breath and space were blocked, and Xia En couldn''t escape even if he wanted to use [Shadow Walking]. It can be said to be a desperate situation in the true sense! ?Xia En looked deeply at the direction where the sound came from. ?His [projection body] is certainly not afraid of sacrifice. But the question is, has Laila successfully used the [Twilight Black Pearl] to temporarily gain legendary power, and can she survive this dangerous situation? Xia En felt extremely heavy when he thought that he might not be able to see the final outcome. But at this moment. A "dang" sound. Suddenly, time... stood still! ?There was silence between heaven and earth, as if all sounds had been lost. ??Whether it is the thousands of threads released by the Heya sisters or Abu whose arms are stretched like the full moon, they all maintain the movements of the previous second and are frozen in this moment. Only their thoughts flow silently. ?Xia Ens eyes widened in astonishment. He was no stranger to this kind of scene. When he entered the Elf Temple, he had seen this kind of time-frozen spectacle more than once. ??Moreover, isnt this the function of the pocket watch called [Instant Time]? The next moment. ?Laila''s figure appeared in front of him, and with a gentle pull, she took him out of this dragnet. After landing, time starts to flow again. ??Xia Ens body also regained its ability to move. He looked at Laila in surprise: "Did you succeed?" ?Laila glanced at Shane''s deformed arm and immediately frowned, her eyes filled with remorse and anger. Did they hurt you? Xia En didnt take it seriously and said, Its just a minor injury. For [Projection Body], he has experienced injuries more serious than this countless times, so he naturally didn''t take it to heart. What Xia En is more concerned about is Laila''s state at this time. ?In his eyes, Laila''s aura was several times stronger than before, and was filled with unspeakable mystery and depth. ?The emerald green pupils took on a strange silvery white color, with a little bit of shimmer rotating around them. Without a doubt. ?Laila successfully absorbed the secret power of [Twilight Black Pearl] and was temporarily promoted to the legendary realm! However, Xia En was a little curious. It took him a long time to break through with the help of this secret treasure. ??How could Laila digest the secret power so quickly? Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind. time! ?Judging from the spectacle of time standing still, Laila must have mastered the secret of time. Combined with her mother''s research during her lifetime and the fields that Laila has never used before, it is not difficult for Xia En to guess that the power of her fields is probably related to time! So, she most likely accelerated the time around her to be able to use [Twilight Black Pearl] in a short time. ?But this is not the time to ask these questions. The three Heyas had recovered from their stasis and looked at Laila and the other two in fear. legend? Impossible! How can you break through the legend on the battlefield? The previous arrogance and pride no longer existed, replaced by strong shock and alertness. Just because of the enemy in front of you, you have entered the realm of legend! ? No matter what means Laila used, does such a "legendary" rank have any side effects or sequelae? A legend is still a legend after all. The gap between them widened to a desperate level in an instant. Just like how Xia En felt when he faced them before. Next, leave it to me. ?Laila said these words to Xia En, and then turned to look at Heya and the others, her pretty face as cold as frost. You hurt him, then go and die. Before she finished speaking, the air around Laila rippled like water waves. ??Heya suddenly felt great fear in her heart. She doesnt know what this secret power is and what its capabilities are. But she felt the great danger that threatened her life! ?In the colorless ripples, white nameless flowers bloom quietly one after another. They sway silently, seemingly ordinary. However, when Heya saw making these little white flowers. She found that her body was completely unable to move. To be precise, her movements were slowed down thousands of times. A simple dodge action would take Heya several seconds to complete. In battles at this level, sometimes one second can determine life or death! ?Laila waved her hand gently. "No!!" In Heya''s exclamation. ??The white flowers swayed like a dancer, and then, cracks appeared on the solidified scenery, like a broken mirror! ?And Heya is also part of this scene, and it is also broken! ?A second ago, Heya was still staring at Laila warily. But the next second, her body was torn apart! "elder sister!" Hesa, who had a cold temperament, had a sad look on her face. But she did not lose her fighting spirit because of this. Instead, she looked at Laila with great hatred, and a sharp scream broke out from her mouth. Bang! Immediately afterwards, Hesa''s body disintegrated and turned into a sticky shadow. ?That was not Lailas handiwork, but the innate secret skill she mastered Shadow! Just like many mages have mastered the skill of "Elementalization", which is immune to physical damage. The dark elves also have their own unique secret techniques. Shading is one of them. After giving up her human form, Hersa transformed into a slender black snake made of pure shadow, as thick as a girl''s arm, and rushed towards Laila at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. Shadow Snake''s eyes glowed scarlet and hissed out smoke-like black snake messages. Go, die, die, die, die! ?This weird form is enough to resist the attacks of most secret arts. Generally speaking, when a sixth-level person encounters it, they will find it extremely troublesome. It can be called a killer move. However, in the face of time, what difference does a mere shadow make? The nameless white flowers bloomed again, stirring invisible ripples. At this moment, Xia En vaguely realized that the water waves in the air might be a manifestation of time. for example The passage of time! The little white flowers are like the waves in the long river of time! In Xia En''s surprised eyes. ??The shadow snake transformed by Hesa ??first froze in place, and then started to continuously retreat! Like a rewinding video, moving from the ending to the starting point. Even the words that came out of her mouth seemed to be swallowed into her belly again. She transformed from shadow to human again. Then what awaits her is death! Hessa''s eyes widened in confusion and she murmured: "The law... you have mastered the law of time..." simultaneously! A flash of bright red appeared on her neck, and her headless body fell silently. The power of time, once used in battle, has such an exaggerated effect! Law? ?Xia En chewed secretly as he listened to this slightly unfamiliar word. The difference between the fourth level and the fifth level lies in the field. The gap between the sixth level and the legend seems to be the so-called "law!" Think more deeply about it. The field, isnt it the manifestation of the law? ??Due to the level of fighting between Laila and Heya, it was too high for Xia En, who was still only a fourth-level Mystic. ?It is difficult for him to see the secret powers and the deeper confrontation But this opportunity to observe the moves of a legendary powerhouse is undoubtedly extremely rare. ?Moreover, it will be of great benefit to him on his secret journey in the future. So, Xia En stared at the battlefield as much as possible, trying to remember what he saw today. But just after Laila killed the Heya sisters one after another, a flash of paleness flashed across her face. Suddenly. ??The big man Abu roared angrily, strode forward, concentrated all his energy into one, and punched Laila! ?There is nothing fancy about this punch. Just fast enough and strong enough! Thats all. ?Even the ripples of time cannot freeze it! ?Its like breaking free from the cage set by Laila! Xia En suddenly raised his eyebrows. ?His and Abu''s fighting methods are actually quite similar. They both rely on powerful and pure numerical values ??to crush the enemy. Because of this, he saw even more how extraordinary Abu''s punch was. ?The opponent put almost all of his body and mind, and even everything in his past, into this punch. Thus reaching the level of "breaking all laws with one force". Can you actually achieve this by just relying on strength? Xia En was touched. But what he was more worried about was Laila''s safety. A muffled "bang" sound. There is a violent collision between the realm of time and pure power. Finally, the fierce fist hit Laila''s delicate body. ?Flesh and blood flying everywhere. A huge **** hole appeared in Laila''s neck, and her head began to fall downwards. Xia En was shaken physically and mentally. His throat was so dry that he couldn''t make a sound. But in the next moment. ??Time began to flow backwards for Laila. The blood hole disappeared, the blood flowed back into her body, and everything returned to its original intact state. But Abu still stood in his original posture, like a statue. Xia En let out a long breath and looked at the tall man warily. ?Laila glanced at Abu who was still where he was with complicated eyes, and said softly. He is dead. ?Xia En took a closer look and realized that Abu had no breath at all. That punch just now had burned out his life, leaving only a useless empty shell. It is not so much that Laila killed him, it is better to say that he killed himself. Upon realizing this, Xia En finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little weird at the same time. Not to mention, the taste of soft rice once in a while seems to be quite good? But then again. ?This ability to manipulate time is a bit too buggy. Not only can it restrict the enemy''s movement, but it can also trace back one''s own injuries to before the injury. ??Isnt this a natural invincibility? Or, is this the true strength of the legendary strongman? Before this day, Xia En had only seen Twilight of the sixth level take action at most. Even, that was still under the ban of [Island of Sand]. Today, Xia Encai witnessed the battle between the sixth level and the legendary strong man. Made him realize that he had only walked a short distance on the secret road, and there was still a quite high mountain waiting for him to climb. The meaning is tantamount to opening the door to a new world! One day, I will become stronger than them! ?Shaan made up his mind and looked at Laila with concern. Laila, are you okay? ?Laila smiled: "I''m fine." But as soon as she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned pale, and a little blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. Xia En''s expression changed slightly, and he immediately walked to her side and supported her body. This is the backlash of manipulating time. ?Laila explained softly: "But it doesn''t matter, just take it slow." ?Xia En murmured: "Sure enough..." The more powerful the force, the more severe the side effects. ?Things that go against the laws of the world, like manipulating time, will undoubtedly bring a huge burden. But fortunately, the biggest crisis has already been reached. In this barrier, no other dark elves can threaten them. After resting for a while. ?Leila began to deal with this barrier set by several legends with their lives. ??Although Heya said that it will take at least three days to untie the barrier. But that is the time to break the barrier from the outside. The strongest fortresses are always breached from within. ?This enchantment is no exception. In fact, the reason why the dark elves sent three level six to assassinate Laila in the barrier was not because their legendary strongman was dead. Rather, the barrier can only accommodate a maximum of six levels of powerhouses. At this time, as Laila exerted her strength, the entire barrier itself began to collapse. The moment the barrier collapsed, several elf guards rushed in immediately. They thought they would see the Queen''s body in grief, but what appeared in front of them was... ?A man in black robes of unknown origin was walking over supporting each other with their noble Queen, who was about to ascend the throne. On the Queen''s face, there was a bright smile that they had never seen before. Like a pure white flower. Innocent but beautiful. This shocked the guards. ?Who is this man in black robe? How can Her Majesty the Queen show such an expression? ?Also, Her Majesty the Queen actually broke through the legend at a critical moment? ?Seeing the guards in front of her, Laila quickly calmed down her little daughter''s demeanor and regained her majesty as a queen. She decisively suppressed the rest of the dark elves, issued orders one after another, and stretched out her hand again to start repairing the elf mother tree around her. But just when Xia En couldn''t help but relax. Mutation happened again. ! ! The dull heartbeat echoed throughout the [City of Giant Woods]. ??The source of the heartbeat is not elsewhere, it comes from this huge elf mother tree! (End of this chapter) Chapter 257 The flames of fire appear, and the false god’s true name appears! Chapter 257 The fire appears, the false gods true name! ˡ ??The heartbeat coming from the Elf Mother Tree was deafening. The ancient giant tree that had just settled down began to vibrate again. ??The bark and branches on the surface of the giant tree were shaken and flew apart, hitting the city below, cracking and cracking many buildings. The sound was terrifying! The elves in [City of Giant Woods] looked at this scene in shock and fear, not knowing what was happening. ?This shaking was more severe than the shaking caused by the previous explosion. It was as if the Elf Mother Tree was about to collapse. You must know that this giant tree is so big that it is beyond imagination, comparable to a mountain range. The current scene, in peoples eyes, is like the sky falling! Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed that the color of flesh and blood appeared where the bark fell off. It is as if another living creature has replaced the core of the elf mother tree. ?Seeing this, Xia En looked stern. He had seen flesh and blood like this before. ??After the great flood came, it was submerged by the sea and no elves remained in the center of the "City of Giant Woods"! ??Shane will certainly not forget it. After the illusion of the elf-like mother tree was torn apart, the huge, deformed and ugly tumor was exposed. At this moment, isnt what grows from the inside of the Elf Mother Tree just that kind of filthy flesh and blood? The identity of the intruder is already clear ?That is the false **** who calls himself [Giant Wood God]! "I see" Xia En suddenly figured out a lot of things. He originally thought that the coming of the [Giant Wood God] happened after the great flood. But now it seems that His invasion started from now on! ??Moreover, the dark elves'' assassination of Laila was only part of their plan. Completely destroying this giant tree, regarded as the mother by countless elves, is also one of their goals! The previous black flames and explosions may just be a cover-up to cover up the shocking changes that occurred deep in the tree trunk. At this time, I saw the elf mother tree that was constantly shaking and collapsing. ?The remnants of the dark elves, whose morale was low and even a little desperate because of their desperate situation, suddenly burst into cheers. My Lord has arrived! The end of the elves has come! Give your life for the shadows! ?Amid the cheers, the morale of the dark elves was high, and their will to resist was greatly strengthened, causing the elves'' offensive to be immediately frustrated. ?Xia En looked at the dark elf who suddenly became excited and couldn''t help but feel a little puzzled. ??Isnt the **** that the dark elves believe in the **** of shadows? Why are you so excited about the appearance of [Giant Wood God]? "etc" Xia En thought for a moment, and his expression immediately became solemn. Since [Giant Wood God] can make most of the tree people in [Giant Wood City] believe that he is [Giant Wood God], of course it can also make the dark elves think that he is [Shadow God]! Im afraid that at this moment, the [Giant Wood God] in the eyes of the dark elves is not what Xia En saw at all. ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s back felt a chill for no reason. ??If the **** that the dark elves believe in is not the real God of Shadows, then where is the original God of Shadows now? Has it disappeared from this world, or has it been swallowed up by [Huisi Ming]? Think deeper. Is there only one **** like the God of Shadows in this world? Are there any other gods that were quietly replaced or replaced? ??If it were an ordinary god, Xia En would of course find this guess too ridiculous. But thats ˼! ??It is an alien **** who invaded this world, an existence that frustrated proud figures like Augustine, and was also the culprit that caused the great flood. It can be said that even if [Hui Siming] does something shocking, Xia En will not be too surprised. From these two experiences of going back to the past, Xia En already knew that in the past era, there were many gods that future generations had never heard of. If this conjecture is true "Then, for those gods who appeared but then disappeared in history, the reason for their disappearance may not be due to changes in the environment..." ?Xia En felt heavy. He suddenly understood Augustine''s original despair. The ignorant are fearless. The more you understand and become stronger, the more you will understand how powerful the enemy you face is. Ahem! ?At this moment, Shane saw Laila beside him suddenly starting to cough up blood. ??Dark red blood appeared on the corners of her fair mouth, which looked extremely dazzling. But she herself closed her eyes and seemed to be in a coma. Laila! ?Shaan looked at Lailas palm that was in contact with the Elf Mother Tree, and suddenly realized that there was a mysterious connection between the Elf Mother Tree and her. ?Especially when Lyra devotes herself to healing the Elven Mother Tree. The damage to the Elf Mother Tree will also cause serious harm to Laila. Even if Laila temporarily enters the realm of legend under the effect of [Twilight Black Pearl], there is nothing she can do! Because, the one who invaded the Elf Mother Tree at this time was a god! Even if it is just a false god, it is still a god! The elves around were also a little overwhelmed, and some even began to pray to the goddess of life. After all, in most peoples understanding, the only ones who can fight against gods are gods. Fortunately at this time. Several elves exuding legendary aura quickly came to Laila''s side. The leader is a mature elf woman with a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but she still retains the majesty of a superior. As soon as she arrived, the elves'' panic quickly calmed down, and they looked at her with reverence and trust. ?This woman is called Suther. She is the sister of the previous Elf Queen. In fact, before Laila arrived at [City of Giant Woods], Suther was the most powerful competitor for the Elf Queen. ??Whether it is prestige or strength, she is far above Laila. ??But to everyone''s expectation, after a long all-night conversation with Laila, Suther actually withdrew from the fight for the throne and began to fully assist this young girl. It can be said. ??Without Suther, Lyra would not have been able to become the only candidate for the queen so smoothly. ?While walking quickly, Suther glanced at Xia En first, with a faint surprise flashing in his eyes, and said warmly. So, you are the person that little Laila mentioned. He is indeed extraordinary, but... he is a good boy. ??After Suther left two comments that were not easy to understand, he walked up to Laila, held her hand, and decisively injected the pure secret power of life into it. ?However, the other elves looked at Xia En in a less friendly way. ?Some people recognized him as the weird man in black robe who abducted Laila earlier. Curious, doubtful, jealous and disgusted. ??He was also a little disdainful of his only fourth-level aura. Other elves felt that the man in black robes looked very suspicious, and wondered whether he was a killer sent by the dark elves. It was only because of Suther''s unique attitude towards him that they did not act rashly. ??Xia En didn''t care about these strange looks, secretly sensing Suther''s aura, and felt that she was more powerful than ordinary legends. Is it the eighth level, or the ninth level that only exists in legend? ?However, regardless of her rank, the stronger she is, the more she can help Laila overcome difficulties. Soon, Xia En noticed it. ??The secret power of life that Suther poured into Laila''s body disappeared quickly like a mud cow entering the sea, without even a splash. Suther also realized this and frowned deeply. The enemies in the Elven Mother Tree are sucking the life out of the Mother Tree and Lyra. "Just injecting the secret power of life can only slow down the process." "The most urgent task is to expel that guy from the Elf Mother Tree." Hearing this, another legendary elf couldn''t help but ask: "But the question is, how to do this?" You cant do anything to the mother tree, right? At the moment, the [Giant Wood God] invades the body of the Elf Mother Tree from the inside, and the two are no longer distinguishable from each other. I am in you, and you are in me. If you launch an attack on the [Giant Wood God], you must first destroy the Elf Mother Tree. This is obviously unacceptable to the elves. I''m afraid, this is also the purpose of [Giant Wood God] choosing this method of invasion. He wants to put the elves into a dilemma so as to absorb more secret power. ?However, Suther was worthy of being an elf whose prestige was second only to Laila. She thought for a moment and quickly came up with a countermeasure. First of all, the will of the mother tree must be awakened, coupled with the power of the goddess of life, to fight against the enemys invasion. So, a group of elf priests began to recite strange incantations. ??This kind of spell spoken in Elvish language has an indescribable rhythm and mysterious power. If you listen carefully, it sounds like a ballad. ?I dont know why, but it sounds a little sad. As the songs were sung, it seemed as if an ancient will was awakening in the Elf Mother Tree. At the same time. ?The Elf Temple in the distance also began to shine with a different kind of light in the darkness, attracting the attention of countless people in the city. That is... the power of the goddess of life! Second, we want to strike fear into our enemies. Suther''s expression was extremely serious, he looked around and said softly. If the worst happens, we will destroy the mother tree and the intruders together! ?Everyone heard her determination from these words, and couldn''t help but look solemn, and responded in unison. "yes!" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but ask. What will happen to Lyra if the Elven Mother Tree is destroyed? ?Suther''s eyes showed a little sadness. Her will has coexisted with the Elf Mother Tree. If the mother tree is destroyed, she will also die. Xia En was shocked: "How could..." Although she has survived the most dangerous assassination, why does Laila still have to face the test of life and death? ??Moreover, what makes Xia En feel helpless and unacceptable the most is... ?Just now, he could still take out [Twilight Black Pearl] and use all his strength to protect Laila''s breakthrough in the final struggle. But now, he seems to be unable to do anything. We can only wait quietly for the elves to try and work hard. Then, tell him the final outcome. In this indescribable state of mind, Xia En actually had a strange idea. Could this be fate? ?The arrangement of fate turned this originally joyful and ambiguous night into an unexpected separation of life and death? Also let him become a witness to this tragic history? Xia En closed his eyes silently. But then, he opened his eyes again. There are many bloodshot eyes in his eyes, showing anger, sadness, and confusion... But soon, these mixed emotions all turned into one Reluctant! So what if this is fate? He never wanted to believe or admit that he traveled back in time to witness such an ending! In other words, his arrival is to change history! ?Thinking of this, a blazing fire seemed to burn in Xia En''s chest. ??If you dont pour out and do something, this flame will burn him to ashes! ?So, Xia En took a step forward, took a deep breath, and then called a name loudly. Yan Yan!! The sound and breath came out together, which made Xia En feel relaxed. The best way to make the [Giant Wood God] feel fear is to let him experience the power that can destroy him. ?The flame of Yanyan is undoubtedly Xia En''s most reliable support. Thats why he would call Yan Yans name without hesitation. ?And he believed that as long as Yan Yan heard his call, he would definitely respond. simultaneously! As expected. ?After this roaring call, in the distance, a ball of fire suddenly ignited in the vast wave of darkness. ?The flame was so bright and dazzling that it could not be obscured by the darkness. ?Like a fire in the dark night, it is impossible to ignore. The next moment. ?This group of fire began to rush towards the direction of Xia En. ??Similarly rushed towards the huge elf mother tree. At this time. The other corner of darkness. The group of people who were [Black Flame Walkers] also saw the fire. Irina''s eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "Is that...the king''s fire?" She is extremely familiar with the king''s flame. Because it is a very unique flame, different from other flames in the world. So, she will never admit her mistake. ? Sergei also had a dull look on his face and muttered to himself: "King, when did you come to [City of Giant Woods]?" "And, that person just called him... Yan Yan?" Who is that? The kings name is obviously salary Beside the Elf Mother Tree. "What?" Suther couldn''t help but look at Xia En in surprise, who suddenly made such a move, unable to understand what he wanted to do. But soon, something even more surprising happened to Suther and others. I saw that the light rising from the Elf Temple did not fall on the many devout Elf priests, but fell on Xia En. In an instant. His weak aura soared at an incredible speed. Fifth level, sixth level, seventh level, eighth level This is an alternative type of divine descending technique, which gives Xia En the qualification to face the [Giant Wood God] directly. The blazing flames came to his side like a shooting star. Yan Yans expression was solemn, which seemed a little different from usual. ?In front of Xia En and Yan Yan at this time, even the [Giant Wood God] who had occupied the body of the Elf Mother Tree seemed to be aware of the danger. ?Those deformed sarcomas began to squirm and tremble. ?At this moment, Laila, who had been unconscious before, suddenly opened her eyes and spit out a name to Shane Liver Shakedo. (End of this chapter) Chapter 258 Expel the [Giant Wood God]! [Husi Ming]’s gaze! Chapter 258: Expelling the [Giant Wood God]! [Husi Ming]s gaze! Liver Shakedo. The name that came out of Laila''s mouth was extremely raw and difficult, and the intonation was very strange and indescribably awkward. Its like This is a name that does not belong to this world. Even just to pronounce it requires some kind of translation and some kind of barrier. ?After Laila said the name, her eyes dimmed again, her face became paler, and more blood spilled from the corners of her mouth. Thinking about it, she might have used her secret time skills to glimpse some scenes of the future. This real name is her biggest gain! ??Its just that after Lyra pronounced the name in Elvish, nothing happened. The flames in the darkness are still burning, and the pieces of meat hidden in the tree trunks are still squirming. ?But Shane suddenly understood what Laila meant She wants to pronounce the true name of the false **** herself! But, what difference would it make? ?Xia En had doubts in her heart, but her body movements were faster than her thoughts. He believed in Laila, just as Laila believed in him. So, Xia En took a deep breath. "profit" ??The moment he uttered the first syllable, Xia En immediately felt that the divine power surrounding him suddenly changed wonderfully. It seems to be constantly restless until it boils. Not only that, this power began to resonate with Shanes voice. It was originally the unique Elvish language in the world. At this moment, it seemed to have been divided into countless small runes. Some runes were added and some were deleted under the influence of divine power. ?Xia En vaguely noticed that these runes had meanings such as "expulsion", "damage", "control" and "binding". A clear understanding arose in his mind. ? ? Lyras mother was not wrong in her study of Elvish. It''s just that there is no way to simply pronounce the true name of the god. Must be added with certain prefixes or suffixes to be effective. ?It''s like if you shout "Jack", Jack will turn around at most, but if you want to say "Jack, go to hell!" The meaning and efficacy are completely different. ??However, ordinary Elvish language has no effect on the true name of the god. ?Only when the runes are transformed by divine power and brought closer to their essence can they truly be effective for the gods. ?Suddenly, Xia En thought of the "law" that Hesa ??mentioned before. Since realms and secret techniques are essentially manifestations of laws, the essence of secret power is these obscure runes. Could it be said that... These runes are the laws themselves! ? ??While many messy thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind, the words in his mouth continued to come out. ??Indescribable secret power surges in the air, seemingly invisible and qualityless, but it makes the [Giant Wood God] hiding in the Elf Mother Tree tremble even more violently. It was like countless shackles fell on Him, causing invisible harm and restraint. ?This kind of damage seems small, but he has no way to stop it. He can only let the runes take effect on himself. Until this moment. ?This ugly and weird false **** showed some fear for the first time. And after fear, comes rage! ?He couldn''t understand why he was afraid of these weak ants. When Xia En read the word "sha". Finally, [The Giant Wood God] couldn''t stand the feeling of the blunt knife cutting flesh, and suddenly let out a weird roar, and the distorted flesh and blood suddenly burst out from under the bark of the tree. They turned into visceral-colored tentacles, whipping out from the holes in the bark of the trees, heading towards Xia En below. During the process of drilling out, a large mouth full of sharp teeth and vicious eyeballs opened on the surface of the tentacle. In an instant. ??It was like a forest of flesh and blood descended from the sky, trying to completely submerge Xia En. ?However, Xia En stood still and did not take a step back. Because, by his side, stood one of his most trusted crew members. Boom! Yan Yan opened his arms like a fire phoenix spreading its wings. ?The violent flames soared into the sky and surged towards the endless tentacles of flesh and blood. Chichichichi Flesh and blood cannot withstand the heat of the flames, and are quickly ignited and turned into fuel for the flames. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Accompanied by it, there were screams and wails from the tentacles. They become shriveled and twisted in the flames, and finally turn into flying ashes. ??Many elves looked at the ignited flesh and blood forest and couldn''t help but widen their eyes. Suther was stunned and said, "What kind of flame is this?" Why can the body of a false **** be set on fire? ??If ordinary flames could do this, Suther and other elves would have done so long ago. In fact, the flesh and blood erupted by the [Giant Wood God] looks like flesh and blood, but in fact it has become something separate from ordinary matter. Normal physical attacks are difficult to take effect on. This is a fundamental difference. Even if it is just a false god, his body cannot be destroyed by ordinary people. The current situation is undoubtedly beyond the scope of many people''s cognition. For Yan Yan, this is a matter of course. He once said that the sight of the Giant Wood God and the woods was very unpleasant, and he wanted to burn them all. So, he did it. However, while the flames burned the body of [Giant Wood God], Yan Yan also absorbed some unusual secret power. ?This secret power caused many chaotic scenes to flash through his mind. The burning palace The people crying in the sea of ??fire The man in black robe following him... At this moment, Yan Yan remembered the past. In the crowd under the blazing fire. Black Flame WalkerIrina had a proud look on her face and whispered proudly. This is the kings fuel! "In front of the fire, even God will be burnt for you!" Beside her, Sergey shook his head helplessly: "Why are you so proud?" The question now is, isnt it why the king came to [City of Giant Woods] without telling us? Does he have any other plans? Irina glanced at him strangely and said of course: "What''s there to worry about?" Since the king is here, do we still need to worry about these things? The king will naturally take care of everything. Sergey sighed: "You are hopeless." ?However, in fact, among the [Black Flame Walkers], those who blindly worship King Xin account for the majority. Sergey also admired and respected King Xin very much, but he always felt that this kind of blind trust was wrong. The king is also a human being. Human beings make mistakes. ?Although the king has not made any mistakes until now, this means that when the king makes a mistake, he will undoubtedly swallow extremely painful consequences. When he thought of this, Sergey felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. But at this moment. The elves beside me exclaimed: "If it continues burning like this, won''t even the Elf Mother Tree be set on fire?" Sergey looked up suddenly. As the flames spread, raging fire followed the tentacles of flesh and blood, approaching the body of the [Giant Wood God]. But now the true body of the [Giant Wood God] is in the Elf Mother Tree. So, in the eyes of the elves, this will undoubtedly burn the elf mother tree as well. This immediately caused an uproar. The expressions of the elves changed drastically, some cursed loudly, some howled, and some tried to attack Yan Yan. It''s not that they don''t want to calm down, but that the Elf Mother Tree is too important to the elves, so that they can''t calm down. Lord Suther, they must be stopped! An elf said seriously to Suther: "If this continues, the elf mother tree will be completely destroyed." ?? Suther''s eyes flashed with wavering, but he quickly spoke. Quiet! No one is allowed to do anything! The elves all looked at her with puzzled eyes. But after Suther made up his mind, he showed an iron-blooded will and said firmly. Laila believed in him, so I believed in them. Besides, if they cannot defeat the false gods, the Elf Mother Tree will be destroyed sooner or later. Then, its better to burn the mother tree directly! Hearing the determination in her words, many elves fell silent. They are proud elves. But when faced with the critical moment of life and death for the Elf Mother Tree, they could only place their hopes on two outsiders. ?This feeling is really uncomfortable. Wait, look! That false god... ?Suddenly, an elfs exclamation attracted everyones attention. When people look up high, they see In the body of the Elf Mother Tree, a shadow gradually emerged. It was an extremely ugly shadow, with swollen tumors spread all over a huge heart. The liver, viscera, lungs, stomach and other organs were exposed hanging outside the heart. Even though he is just a shadow, his body seems to be emitting a strong stench. You can contract serious diseases just by looking at it. ?Seeing this scene, Suther''s expression suddenly brightened. That is the true form of the false god! The body of [The Giant Wood God] appears, instead of being located in the Elf Mother Tree. This means that the two of them are gradually separating. Even though the separation speed is not fast, most of the [Giant Wood God]''s body is still stuck to the Elf Mother Tree. But this separation still actually happened. This means that Xia En has done something that even legendary strong men like Suther can''t do. Su Se glanced at Xia En next to Yan Yan in surprise. How did he do it? Suther looked up high again and finally saw some clues. I saw that there were countless chains composed of runes surrounding the ugly shadow. They pierced into the shadow''s body from all angles and pulled it out of the elf mother tree bit by bit. The [Giant Wood God] was of course resisting violently. Its whole body was exerting force and trembling against the pull of the chain. ?However, He was shocked to find that not only could he not break free of the chains. ?Even, as time goes by, this chain is getting stronger and stronger. The power coming from it also made it increasingly difficult for him to resist. ??This is a chain derived from the true name, and is blessed by the goddess of life. In terms of level, it is even a little higher than the [Giant Wood God]. How can He stop such an existence? At this time. ?Shaan just opened his mouth and uttered the syllable "many" in "liveshakto". At the same time, the pulling force from the chain suddenly increased. simultaneously! With this soft sound, the body of [Giant Wood God] was finally completely separated from the Elf Mother Tree. Yan Yan, who also saw this scene, did not hesitate, and the speed of the blazing flames accelerated again, heading straight for the body of the [Giant Wood God]. A series of fiery snakes climbed up from all directions. At this moment, those flesh and blood tentacles became Yan Yans weapons to lock him! ! ! There was another loud heartbeat. But to people''s ears, this sounds more like the angry roar of a false god. ??But this roar proves the weakness of the false god! A truly powerful being never needs to roar to intimidate others. How could Suther miss such an excellent opportunity? She shouted loudly. Do it! Immediately, all the legendary strong men of the Elf race no longer held back, and directly launched an attack on the phantom in mid-air. ??Some people shot long arrows with secret power, some cast powerful spells, and some waved their hands lightly, and a blade flew towards the [Giant Wood God]. The [Giant Wood God] named "Lifushakdo" is indeed very strong. But false gods are just false gods after all. In the final analysis, He is just an apostle under [Hui Siming]. ?After losing the natural protection of the Elf Mother Tree, he could not easily cope with the siege of several legends and the blazing flames. Dong dong dong! The heart of [Giant Wood God] beat violently. ?However, this time, He was not desperate. Large chunks of flesh and blood on His body peeled off, including the places where the chains had penetrated, the tentacles where the flames had spread, and the charred body. Just a few seconds. ?His body shrunk by at least one-half. ?Those peeling flesh and blood just blocked the attacks of the powerful elves, and also made him relaxed and flexible. Xia En immediately saw the purpose of the [Giant Wood God]. He wants to escape! He never expected that the [Giant Wood God] would actually choose to escape! What makes Xia En even more helpless is that he has no way to prevent the [Giant Wood God] from escaping. After the [Giant Wood God] made a huge sacrifice, the power of the True Name Chain to bind him was immediately reduced by half. It also allowed the [Giant Wood God] to temporarily regain his freedom. The next moment. A dark crack appeared behind the shadow. Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed throughout the city. I will come back again. Although this sentence is different from any other language in the world, everyone understands the meaning of this sentence. At that time, this city will truly belong to me! Dont even think about it! ?After the [Giant Wood God] separated from the Elf Mother Tree, Laila suddenly woke up. She held her head high and shouted at the shadow above. As long as Im here, you can never take this city away! ?Lailas voice was so clear and full of confidence like the sun, which cheered up the frightened people. However, the voice of the [Giant Wood God] sounded again. Then, I will banish you forever. followed by. ?In that ugly heart, a huge eye opened. There was a roar in Xia En''s mind. He suddenly realized that those were definitely not the eyes of the [Giant Wood God], but the eyes of the [Huisi Ming] from outside the world! At this time. ification, fell on Laila. (End of this chapter) Chapter 259 separation and reunion Chapter 259 Separation and Reunion ?No one knows what Laila saw or experienced at this moment. Even Sean is no exception. Even he couldn''t block this gaze at this moment. Because, this is just a look. The owner of the gaze is [Huisi Ming]. Time flows for one second. The eyes on the heart are closed. [The Giant Wood God] disappeared. ?Even with the deep crack that led to nowhere, it also disappeared. ?Subsequently, the wave of darkness shrouding the [City of Giant Woods] began to fade away, and dots of fluorescent lights lit up in every corner of [City of Giant Woods] again. The cracks and scars on the body of the Elf Mother Tree are quickly repaired by its strong vitality. Even if it is internal As a result, whether they were elves or people from other kingdoms, the panic and uneasiness in their hearts gradually dissipated. There is light in people''s eyes again. Only the surviving dark elves looked dazed and felt deep despair. ?They cannot understand or imagine that the gods they believe in would choose to escape. Lord, have you forsaken us? What on earth is going on? Woo woo woo ?This sense of despair of being abandoned, coupled with the fear of facing death, made some dark elves finally collapse and let out low sobs. ?But at this time, Xia En didn''t care about them or everything that happened in the [City of Giant Woods]. He only cared about Laila, who was not far away. After being glanced at by [Husi Ming], Laila''s face became visibly pale, and her eyes were empty and lifeless. It seemed like countless chaotic fragments flashed before her eyes, and countless thoughts rose and fell. Fortunately, her breathing is still stable and her life is not in danger. ?Shaan came to Laila''s side immediately and supported her delicate body that was about to fall. Even though Laila''s life was not in danger, there was still a strong ominous atmosphere lingering in Shane''s heart. Because, that is [Husi Ming]! A **** that even Augustine could not defeat! The last few words spoken by [Giant Wood God] are not only his own will, but also represent the will of [Huisi Ming]! In other words, [Husi Ming] wants to banish Laila forever? But Laila was clearly standing where she was. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Xia En felt in his heart. ) must have done something. ?This kind of hidden method is often more difficult and dangerous than frontal combat. Laila, Laila! ?Shane softly called Laila''s name. After a while, Laila''s eyes gradually became focused. The next moment, thick mist appeared in those bright and moving eyes. Two lines of clear tears fell from her face. ?Xia En was shocked. Since he returned to the past this time, it was the first time he saw Laila showing such a fragile look. Even when she was trapped in the barrier and faced three sixth-level powerhouses, Laila never showed any weakness. ?Lailas voice was helpless and desperate as she murmured: I saw I sawthe future! Xia En was startled: "The future?" What kind of future is it? "yes" ?Laila opened her mouth, but no sound came out of her throat. ?Shaan immediately understood that it was not that Laila didn''t want to say it, but that she couldn''t. In later generations, even the [Aphasia Curse] existed against the entire elves. The curse that made Laila unable to speak some words was really not surprising. But what kind of future picture makes Laila so hopeless and helpless? Is this the scene when the great flood comes? Is this the scene when the entire elves were wiped out? Or the scene when she died? ?Laila couldnt say it, and Shane couldnt guess it either. But from Laila''s eyes, he saw a deep sadness. Its like ?Although Laila was in his arms, she seemed to be in an extremely far away place. The ominous feeling in Xia En''s heart became more and more intense. ?But before he opened his mouth, Laila quickly restrained her sadness and sadness, and a smile appeared on her face. Im fine. ?Laila stood firm with Xia En''s help and walked towards Suther, who was not far away. Sister Suther, it seems that you need to take care of the enthronement ceremony tomorrow. Hearing this, Suther suddenly opened his beautiful eyes: "Laila, what do you mean?" Didnt we discuss it? Obviously you are the most suitable person to be the Elf Queen. Laila shook her head: "In the future I see, being the Queen of the Elf cannot save the elves." Moreover, if I continue to stay, it will only bring disaster to this city. When she said this, Laila turned her head and looked at the [City of Giant Woods] with countless fluorescent lights. There is pride, pride and nostalgia in the eyes, as well as sadness and reluctance. This is the city she built with her own hands, but in order to protect this city, she had to leave here. Suther asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?" ?Laila didnt hide anything, and said frankly: That **** left some kind of coordinates on my body. If I stay in [City of Giant Woods], a disaster like today may happen again at any time. Suther''s heart sank: "How could this be?" She was still a little unwilling and said: "Maybe we can find a way to lift the curse..." Useless. ?Laila said seriously: "That is a terrifying alien **** whose personality is even higher than that of the goddess of life." Besides, what he left behind was actually not a curse, but just a special message. Just like butterflies are attracted to flowers, the outside **** can also unlock my location from this message. ?The reason why Laila can speak so confidently is not only because of her analysis, but also because of the future she sees. In fact, the future she sees is not just a single line, but many possibilities for the future. With so many possibilities, Laila and the elves certainly tried countless times. But, it failed every time. Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed... ?As soon as she recalled those scenes in the future, Laila could not help but turn pale, and a surge of negative emotions surged into her heart. nearly suffocating her. But at this moment, a broad palm grasped Laila''s hand. Without looking back, Laila knew who the owner of the hand was, which gave her some comfort. But why is there no Xia En in the future she sees? ?Laila sighed softly in her heart, but she still wanted to leave the last and best impression to Xia En, so she tried to maintain a calm expression and said. Not only that, there is a price for using the secret of time. After that, my luck will probably become very bad. Coupled with the coordinates left by the foreign gods, I will probably be the one who brings disaster, right? For you and for this [City of Giant Woods], I must leave here. Hearing this, Xia En frowned. People who bring disaster This title made Xia En quite concerned. Because An, the armored knight on his ship, also carries a terrible misfortune. ?Last time, just because Tracey got into An''s armor, it caused them a lot of trouble. In Ans story, a kingdom was even destroyed because of her misfortune. Of course, compared with An''s "disaster power", Laila''s misfortune at this time is not very serious, at least not to the point of immediate effect. despite this. ?Shaan still couldn''t help but wonder, is there any unique connection between the two? Suther finally said with difficulty after digesting what Laila said. It seems that you have made up your mind. Laila said softly: "If possible, I don''t want to make such a determination." Its just that theres nothing we can do about it. Sister Suther, from now on, the [City of Giant Woods] will be handed over to you. Suther bowed deeply to Laila and said in a deep voice. Suther will definitely live up to his mission. ??Except for a few legendary elves around, the residents of [City of Giant Woods] and foreign tourists had no idea that a conversation that decided the fate of this city had ended quietly. The next moment. ?Laila left here with Yan Yan and Xia En. ?This time, they came to the temple of the goddess of life. Yan Yan didnt say anything and silently walked into the deepest part of the temple. The expression is sometimes tangled and sometimes confused. He needs some time to clear his thoughts. ?Shane and Laila were sitting at the gate of the temple, leaning on each other, and quietly looking at the city outside the door. ?Although after a night of chaos, the city was left devastated, many buildings and streets were destroyed, and many people died in this disaster. But after the wave of darkness receded, vitality and vitality reignited in the city. ?What Xia En secretly marveled at the most was the "order" shown by [City of Giant Woods] in this disaster. ?Even if they encountered a sudden danger, the elves still found what they should do as soon as possible. Unlike in the Emerald Isle, once they lost the power of Elvish, they completely panicked and fell into disorderly chaos. ?Shane even suspected... ?? Even if Laila is really assassinated by those dark elves, the other elves can handle the remaining endgame. ?This kind of "order" is actually really amazing. Far more advanced technology and unique buildings in [City of Giant Woods] amazed Xia En. Just like in China in the past life, most people would choose to call the police when encountering violations of laws and disciplines. This is because they believe that calling the police is the most effective solution. However, in some areas of some countries, or in those more backward and older times, people will never have such awareness. Such a sense of order must have taken decades of hard work. And this is one of Laila''s achievements. Laila, you have worked very hard and are very good. ?Shaan turned his face sideways, looked at Laila''s face, and said softly. None of this is your fault. The next moment. Suddenly, a fragrant wind hit his nose, and his lips felt warm, soft and moist. ?Laila actually kissed her. ?This kiss was extremely gentle, yet extremely sad. ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, then followed his instinct and responded. The movements of both of them were very clumsy, and Xia En also tasted something slightly cold and salty. ?Those are Lailas tears. ?Shane was curious about what Laila saw. Why did this kiss give him a sense of farewell? But he didnt ask anything after all, he just enjoyed the moment quietly, enjoying the warmth and body fragrance of the girl in his arms. ?The sky was getting brighter, and the first ray of sunlight shone from the eastern horizon and fell into the vast forest. The darkness around them was quickly disappearing. Will we meet again? ?Laila, who was originally certain that they would meet again, couldn''t help but ask this question. Her confidence was shattered by the possibilities of the future. ?The last time they were separated, Laila made a promise to Shane to "see you in the future." But this time, it was Xia En who made a promise to her. Xia En said seriously: "We will see you again, for sure!" Even if we reverse time and space and become enemies of the gods! A ray of sunshine shone through, and Xia En in Laila''s arms dissipated like smoke. ?Even the flames in the temple disappeared at the same time. ?Laila sat there for a moment, her eyes becoming determined again. She has seen futures that failed. ?So now, she will look for possibilities that do not exist from countless futures! This day. The Elven Queen Suther ascends the throne. The General Assembly of Nations will be held as usual. Carmen began to devote himself to the manufacturing of magic pattern weapons, and Thomas''s [Heart of Steam] received investment from many forces. Edward, who attended the meeting, wore a gold-rimmed single-sided spectacles. ??If Xia En saw him at this time, he would probably understand why he felt familiar to him. at the same time. No one noticed that an elf left the [City of Giant Woods] and embarked on a journey with no end in sight. ?The long river of time flows silently. As if nothing external can affect it. ?Countless people come and go, turning into insignificant waves in the long river. ?Shane opened his eyes. Thus, the time in the Execution Square of [City of Giant Woods] began to flow again. What happened just now? By the way, where did the two outsiders go? The tree people came back to their senses in a daze, feeling that some indescribable changes had taken place in the world. At that moment, many things seemed to have happened. Soon, the tree peoples eyes fell on the center of the square. ?There, a magnificent temple stood quietly. Without a word or a word. Just like when the [City of Giant Trees] was first established thousands of years ago. ?At that time, the Elven Temple also watched everyone who visited it quietly. ?This invisible majesty and divinity make many tree people feel uneasy. Years ago, they were also loyal fans of the goddess of life. Even if they have "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" now, they still have some strange awe in their hearts. The more critical question is Why did the Elf Temple suddenly recover? ??What''s going on with that strange feeling of freeze-drying just now? ??Rumble ?Suddenly, a huge roar came from a distance. Immediately afterwards, the tree people saw a dark and dry forest rising from the bottom of the sea, roaring towards the execution square. Thats...the Black Forest! Aerys! Its Aerys! Is it crazy? It actually mobilized the power of the entire Black Forest! ?The tree people were inexplicably shocked, especially Elder Fana, who was even more panicked for no reason. At this moment, the door of the Elf Temple opened. (End of this chapter) Chapter 260 Clear out the [City of Giant Trees]! Deep sea surge! Chapter 260 Clearing out the [City of Giant Trees]! Deep sea surge! ??Rumble ??The temple door slowly opened under the eyes of the tree people. Two figures, one tall and one short, walked out of it. It is Xia En and Yan Yan. Its those two outsiders! Catch them and sacrifice them to the [Giant Wood God]! ?Seeing the two people, the tree people immediately showed strong hostility and surrounded the two people. They still have some respect for the goddess of life, but they will not have the slightest pity for these humans who trespass into the [City of Giant Woods]. But there are also a small number of tree people who recall the "truth" that Shane said before, as well as the ugly and deformed appearance of their companions in the silvery white light. A trace of doubt about the [Giant Wood God] arose in his heart. At this time. ??The dark forest in the distance has also floated over the execution square like a dark cloud. Stop it all! ??Yris''s vicissitudes of voice sounded, causing the tree people''s movements to freeze. Is it Elder Aerys? Wait, thats...the Black Forest!? Elder Aerys, what do you want to do? ?As one of the oldest tree people in [City of Giant Trees], Aerys is quite prestigious among the tree people. Coupled with the dark forest that was like a dark cloud, the tree people were inevitably a little confused. The first person to react was the elder, Fana, who had already turned to the [Giant Wood God]. ?Fauna floated in the sea, his huge figure showing a deep aura, far away from the black forest on the horizon. Aerys, are you crazy? The branches around Fana were dancing wildly. He looked at Fana high up and said in a deep voice. How dare you bring out the entire black forest? Do you hermit faction want to challenge the majesty of the [Giant Wood God]? "yes." Iris looked at the Elf Temple below. The heart of the tree, which he thought had long been rotten, seemed to burst out with fresh passion and courage, so he said. Today, I am going to bring order to the chaos on behalf of the Goddess of Life, and drive out the [Giant Wood God] forever! Iriss answer greatly exceeded Fanas expectations. Even all the tree people present did not expect it to say such a thing. In their impression, Aerys and his hermits are just a group of wastes who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are neither willing to throw themselves into the arms of the [Giant Wood God], nor are they trying their best to resist like the conservatives. In the eyes of some reformists, the hermits are worse than the conservatives. After all, they dont even have the courage to resist, they just passively wait for the [City of Giant Woods] to be occupied by them. ?This kind of cowardly behavior is always frowned upon. But today, Aerys said that he wanted to expel the [Giant Wood God] from the [Giant Wood City]? ! Okay! Very good! ?Faner was so angry that he laughed: "It seems you are really crazy!" Come here, arrest these rebels! They are not even qualified to receive the [Seed of Life], they are only qualified to be living sacrifices to the [Giant Wood God]! ??Now that Aerys has made up his mind, there will be no further flinching or hesitation. Its eyes fell on the other tree men in the black forest, and it expanded its will. Today, a miracle has come before us! "This means that the gods have once again cast their gaze on us. This is our last and only chance to fight back!" For [City of Giant Woods]! For the Goddess of Life! ?Its words were impassioned and instantly aroused the fighting spirit of the tree people in the black forest. ??The tree people of the hermit sect are not really greedy for life and afraid of death. ??They just couldn''t see the hope of defeating the [Giant Wood God], and they didn''t want to join the ranks of the revolutionary tree people, so they hid in the black forest and worked hard to accumulate strength. They have been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely change the pattern of [City of Giant Trees]. And today is the day when the opportunity comes! For [City of Giant Woods]! For the goddess of life! In the black forest, many tree people shouted loudly and rushed towards the tree people in the execution square. Crazy, really crazy! ?Seeing the passionate scene in the black forest, the executioners were not only angry but also a little bit surprised. ??This group of reclusive cowards actually have the courage to charge against them? ?Just for the goddess of life who has abandoned the tree people and this city long ago? This is so ridiculous! Soon, the tree man who accepted the [Seed of Life] felt offended and angry again. How dare you, the losers hiding in the dark forest to survive, say such big words? ?Hence, they charged towards each other without fear. Boom! ?Two trees, which looked similar but were actually completely different, collided violently, and an extremely brutal battle suddenly broke out. The way of fighting between lower-level trees is actually very simple. Its nothing more than bumping into each other with their bodies, entangled and tearing each other with branches. analogy to human words. They are like two armies. They do not use weapons or armor. They fight purely with their bodies, breaking limbs, tightening their throats, and even biting off the enemy''s flesh and blood with their teeth. This battle between tree people is so barbaric and cruel. Click! The tree man at the front of the team was crushed to pieces without any suspense at the first opportunity. Followed by the second, third What surprised Fana, Gelisi, Nigel and other tree people. ??The tree people of the seclusion sect were not defeated as quickly as they expected. Instead, he showed an extremely tenacious posture, with quite good combat effectiveness, and withstood the first wave of pressure. For a time, the two sides were at loggerheads. ?How can this not shock the reformist tree people? You must know that the most important reason why these tree people chose to accept the [Seed of Life] is their declining vitality. This is determined by the environment of [City of Giant Trees] submerged by sea water. They can easily defeat the conservatives for this reason. If you dont accept the [seed of life], you will become weak and die! If you accept it, you can continue to survive and even become stronger. How to choose such a multiple-choice question? The answer is obvious at a glance, right? ?But at this time, the tree people of the Seclusion Sect who did not accept the [Seed of Life] can still have a strong fighting power? ?Fana looked carefully and quickly discovered the clue. In terms of individual strength, the tree people of the hermit sect are indeed no match for them. But behind the reclusive tree people, there is an entire black forest. ?This strange forest has some special secret power that allows the weakened tree people to temporarily have the strength of their heyday. This dark forest, this is what it turns out to be... ?While the two sides were fighting, Xia En''s eyes also fell on the black forest and saw some secrets of this forest. In his eyes, this black forest is like a huge reservoir. On weekdays, the tree people of the hermit sect sleep in it and pour their secret power into the reservoir. The environment of the black forest can exactly reduce the loss of life caused by sea water. At this time, the tree people can call upon the secret power in the black forest to enhance their combat power. I have to say. In the environment of [City of Giant Trees], it is indeed amazing to be able to come up with such a plan. And Aerys and other tree people have lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, and the secret power and vitality in the black forest have also been accumulated for hundreds of years! This is a plan that has been going on for hundreds of years. The purpose is to burst out the final power when the [City of Giant Woods] is in danger of life and death! What kind of perseverance and forbearance is this? By this time, Shaan also understood the reason why Aerys was unwilling to take action before. ?Once he takes action, he will inevitably put all his chips on it. Previously, it was impossible for Aerys to bet everything on just two unknown outsiders. But after feeling the breath of the goddess of life and witnessing the "miracle" with his own eyes, Iris finally made up his mind. ?This is how the black forest pressed down like a dark cloud. ?However, even so, the overall strength of the innovative faction is still higher than that of the hermit faction. The tree people who converted to the [Giant Wood God] accounted for 80% of the [Giant Wood City]! ?The remaining 20% ??is the share of the hermits and conservatives combined. Even now, Iris and others have temporarily gained the upper hand with their great power. But as long as other trees come to support them, their defeat will be only a matter of time. Of course Shane would not let this happen. He took a step forward and said loudly: "Treants of [City of Giant Trees], the gods you believe in are false gods, and are the apostles of the foreign **** [Huisi Ming]!" The [seed of life] that you have taken is the [seed of corruption] that controls you. Everything you see is just an illusion. Your body and soul have long been eroded and devoured by Him. Today, its up to me to free you! ?At the same time that Xia En spoke out his words, the Elven Temple around him once again bloomed with bright fluorescent green light. Just like that night in the dark a thousand years ago. ??Xia En dared to say these words, so naturally he was not speaking out loud. In fact, a considerable part of the divine power elicited by the elven priests'' previous secret techniques still remained in his body. ??When he returned to modern times, this divine power not only did not disappear, but also vaguely echoed the remodeled Elf Temple. Xia En guessed that these might be some means left by the goddess of life to protect her city. In this case, how could Xia En not use it? As the divine power spreads, the fluorescent green light shines brightly. In the light, the invisible camouflage covering the tree people disappeared silently. ?So, they saw their ugly and terrifying true appearance again. This, what is this flesh and blood? Oh my god, why did my branches and trunk become like this? Is this real? Is what we saw before fake? In an instant. The tree people were in an uproar. ?This is different from the scene in the light curtain and the glimpse in the silver light not long ago. It is a real change that has happened to them. ?Under the power of the Goddess of Life, every tree man can detect that this rotten, ugly, and deformed appearance is their true appearance. The [City of Giant Woods] under their feet has long since turned into a city made of flesh and blood! On the other hand, the originally eerie black forest seemed extremely normal among the deformed and withered tree men. At least, it still looks like a forest. ??Those seclusion factions inside maintain the attitude that tree people should have. Its impossibleimpossible ?Fana lowered his head, looked at his shriveled body and skinny branches, and murmured in disbelief. This must be false. It has betrayed its own beliefs and betrayed its friends. What we got was this ending? ?How can this be accepted? ? There are many tree people like Fana. They may not have noticed some clues, but they can always find excuses to convince themselves. until The truth is nakedly revealed before their eyes! ?For example, Fana''s reaction was quite good, while some of the tree people even lost their minds and let out painful wails. Just the light of the goddess of life made many tree people lose their fighting spirit. ??? Their faith has collapsed, so why fight for the [Giant Wood God]? Sure enough, this is an opportunity given by God! ?Seeing this scene, Iris in the Black Forest looked excited and ordered: "Take this opportunity to counterattack with all our troops!" But at this moment. ! ! ?Like a thunderous heartbeat, it echoed throughout the city. Everyone''s eyes were looking in the direction where the heartbeat was coming from. That is the center of [City of Giant Woods]. That heart covered with sarcoma started beating like it did thousands of years ago. Immediately, the bodies of those chaotic, anxious, and collapsed tree people suddenly stiffened. ??There seems to be a grand will that takes over their bodies and turns them into a group of puppets without emotions or thinking. From the moment the tree people used [Seeds of Life], their lives no longer belonged to them. Obviously, the [Giant Wood God] directly controlled these trees at this time and charged towards Xia En. Xia Ens expression remained unchanged, he raised his head and looked above the water, shouting in his heart. Xiao Hei! I am here! Come and give me a helping hand! ?Above the sea, the huge three-masted sailboat sank suddenly, setting off huge waves, and actually sank into the sea. ?This change surprised Joey and other crew members. But soon, they discovered that there seemed to be an invisible film around the Black Swan, blocking out the seawater. Body of the Deep Sea! ??The talent that Xia En obtained after being promoted to the fourth level was synchronized with the [Black Swan] with the help of [Ship Soul Synchronization], giving it the ability to sail in the deep sea. In less than a moment. ??This big ship sank into the deep sea with an unstoppable force and came to Xia En. ?Shaan stepped onto the deck, took hold of the rudder, and started a real deep sea surge. ?His target is the [Giant Wood God] in the center of [Giant Wood City]. Looking at the tree people rushing towards them one after another, Xia En''s eyes narrowed and he whispered. Its about to go! ?The crew members had recovered from the initial surprise and responded in unison: "Yes, Captain!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 261 Ship spirit level LV6! Chapter 261 Ship Soul Level LV6! ?Humhum Boom! ?After a short period of energy accumulation, the [Gluttony Steam Engine] deep in the cabin let out a low roar, instantly increasing the power to the limit. ?With the blessing of Xia Ens will and the ships soul. The [Black Swan] immediately burst out at an astonishing speed, roaring towards the heart in the center of the [City of Giant Woods]. At this time, it is not so much a "big ship like a deep sea beast", but rather a "deep sea beast with a ship-shaped shell!" When this giant beast starts to charge, almost nothing can stop its progress! ?Faced with this overwhelming momentum, most people would inevitably be afraid and would not dare to intercept this big ship. However, after the [Seed of Corruption] was activated, Fana and other innovative tree people had completely lost control of their bodies. They rushed towards the [Black Swan] involuntarily. Go forward one after another in a mighty and mighty manner. Just like the tide of corpses in zombie movies! A muffled "bang" sound. ??The tree man who first blocked the front of the [Black Swan] could not hold on for even half a second. ?That shriveled and skinny body was torn apart as if it had hit a moving train. ?After crushing the tree man who used the mantis as a cart, the speed of the [Black Swan] did not slow down at all, but instead increased again. And this is just the beginning. Bang! Bang! Bang! ??More and more tree men emerged from every corner of [City of Giant Woods], turning into human walls blocking the path of [Black Swan]. Even if they were smashed into pieces and torn apart, they did not stop their death-defying behavior. ?Shaan even saw the emotions of fear and despair in the eyes of some tree men. Obviously, after being controlled by the [Corruption Seed], the tree people still have independent thinking. ??This feeling of watching your body die is a kind of torture! Nono! As a stronger elder among the tree people, Fana could not control his body. He could only stand in front of the [Black Swan] after screaming. ! ! With a particularly dull muffled sound, Fana''s tree trunk was broken, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. I just dont know if Fana had any regrets before he died. ?Although Fana died, the forward momentum of the [Black Swan] was also stopped. Xia En frowned: "Not good!" Just like the plots in doomsday-themed games or movies and TV series, when you are caught in a "zombie wave", the worst thing that can happen is that the speed starts to slow down. Because once it starts to slow down, the speed will only get slower and slower until it is completely engulfed by the zombie tide. At this time. ??The vines of several tree men tightly wrapped around the deck of the [Black Swan] from behind, trying to stop this rioting deep-sea beast. A knight''s sword suddenly fell down, cutting off all the vines. ?The person who took action was An, who was wearing armor. ??Due to the sequelae of the "disaster" mentioned by Laila, Shane could not help but associate this with Ann. ?However, this is obviously not the time to pursue this issue. Click click ?At the same time, icy crystals appeared in the sea water, freezing the tree men approaching the "Black Swan" into ice cubes. This is the breath from the Bronze Dragon String Song! Not only that, the water around the ship also became undulating as Joey sang. ?The sea water seemed to turn into countless big hands, pushing the [Black Swan] forward while blocking the invasion of the tree people. Even the hermit sect Iris and other tree people saw that success or failure depended on this, so they tried their best to block the other tree people and share the pressure for Xia En and the others. ?With this coming and going, the speed of [Black Swan] increased again. ?Xia Ens eyes became firmer. Although the wave of trees in front of him seems endless, he is not fighting alone! The crew behind him are all his help! ?Xia En looked at the [Giant Wood God] in the center of the city, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and his momentum getting stronger and stronger. ?Today, I will attack a city with one boat! ??When the distance between [Black Swan] and [Giant Wood God] is shortened to a certain extent, the speed of this big ship will inevitably decrease. Even the collision angle of the bow was significantly deformed, and large and small cracks appeared on the hull. There is no way, there are too many trees controlled by [Giant Wood God]. ?Especially for executioners like Fana, their physical strength is even more extraordinary. Even if the hull of the [Black Swan] has been strengthened several times, damage will inevitably occur under such collisions. Durability: 67/300 The durability of the panel has also dropped to a very dangerous value. Since being chased by the Blood Duke last time, this is the first time that the Black Swan has been damaged to this extent. But Xia Ens eyes remained firm. ??If he hadnt had the consciousness to risk everything, how could he have brought the [Black Swan] and its crew to the bottom of the sea? Roar! ! ??As the distance between the two shortened, the surrounding trees became more and more crazy and roared like wild beasts. Those eye sockets no longer possess the rationality that intelligent creatures should have, and what remains is only chaos and hostility. Oh? [Giant Wood God], are you afraid? Seeing this, Xia En not only did not panic, but instead smiled: "After all, you have already lost once a thousand years ago!" ?The wild struggles of the tree people proved the fierceness of the [Giant Wood God]. Facing the incoming tree people, Xia En ordered. Fire! Boom The magic energy main cannon, which had been accumulated for a long time, finally fired its first shot as it sank into the sea. ??When the magic pattern was lit up little by little, an extremely thick beam of light shot out, piercing the tide of corpses ahead like a sharp knife. The light beam faintly exudes a kind of coercion that people cannot look directly at! ??All tree men hit by it were shattered by the violent secret power and turned into dry fragments. In an instant. A blank area appeared in front of the [Black Swan]. Of course, Shane would not miss such an opportunity. He controlled the [Black Swan] to charge forward, and once again spoke out the name with weird syllables in Elvish. Perhaps it is because the power of the goddess of life has not dissipated. ??This time when he returned to modern times, Shane did not forget the pronunciation of Elvish. Hence, this true name still has an effect that ordinary people cannot imagine. The next moment. ?Thousands of chains stretched out from the void, sealing the huge and bloated heart. ?This kind of [True Name Shackles] is what gives Xia En the confidence to challenge the [Giant Wood God]. ?In addition, Xia En also vaguely noticed that the [Giant Wood God] at this time seemed to be much weaker than it was a thousand years ago. This point actually made Xia En a little puzzled. According to common sense, the [Giant Wood God] should have become stronger than before after thousands of years of recuperation, coupled with the plundering and devouring of many tree people. Why has it become weaker? Could it be said that after that, the [Giant Wood God] suffered other heavy blows? ?These questions just flashed through Shane''s mind. He never misses an opportunity to beat up a drowned dog. ?No matter what the reason for the weakness of the [Giant Wood God] is, at this moment, defeating him is the only thing that Xia En has to do. The moment the chain appeared, a roar came from the depths of his heart.?????Lowly ant, its you again! I''m going to tear you apart! ! ?Xia En stared at it calmly and spit out the third syllable. "sand" ??The chains wrapped around the heart immediately tightened, squeezing tightly into the rotting flesh. Of course, [Giant Wood God] cannot just sit back and wait for death. In fact, the moment He roared, His body began to twist and squirm. The carpet of flesh spread throughout the city gathered together like thick mud, making the heart become more and more bloated. In the process of the flesh carpet being rolled back, the tree people who accepted the [Corruption Seed] also merged into it. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Perhaps to be precise. The current [Giant Wood God] is no longer in the shape of a heart, but has gradually evolved into the shape of a tree man. Its just that the body of this tree man is composed of ugly flesh and withered mummies. ?Each branch is a mixture of branches from countless tree people. Every root comes from countless tree people. ?At this moment, the innovative tree people have indeed become part of a greater existence. ?Shane couldn''t help but feel ironic about this. ?Furthermore, the body of [Giant Wood God] is still expanding and expanding. At this time, He was made up of the tree people in the entire city, and his size was naturally incredibly large. At a rough glance, it is at least a few hundred meters high. This is a true giant. ??Compared to Xia En''s giant form, it is dozens of times larger. Even the [Black Swan] appears extremely small in front of Him. In this change, [True Name Shackles] was also affected, and the chain composed of runes began to tremble and seemed a little unstable. Soon, Xia En saw the intention of the [Giant Wood God]. [True Name Shackles] only takes effect on the [Giant Wood God] itself, but the remains of the tree people on the surface of his body are not within the scope of the shackles. When the remains of these tree men are large enough, the effectiveness of [True Name Shackles] will also be weakened. Xia Ens expression did not change and he continued to recite the true name of the [Giant Wood God]. When Shane spit out the last syllable. Without him giving orders or signaling, a figure wrapped in flames rushed towards the flesh and blood giant countless times his size like an arrow from a string. ?Looking at Yan Yans leaving figure. Xia En whispered in his heart: "For my sake, use Fire Fist on Him!" ?During this journey back to the past, Yan Yan actually underwent many transformations. Xia En vaguely realized that in the burning of the flame, Yan Yan might have remembered something or seen something. But as long as Yan Yan doesn''t take the initiative to tell him, Xia En won''t ask. Who in this world doesnt have some secrets? Combined with the many unique features of Yan Yan, Xia En felt that even if Yan Yan said that he was the legendary King of Xin, he probably wouldn''t be too surprised. Lets get back to business. ?After this time travel, Yanyan''s flames became stronger, more domineering, and more aggressive than before. Because of this, he is the most suitable person to give the final blow to the [Giant Wood God]. Yan Yan shouted loudly, and a ray of light from the edge of his fist suddenly exploded, turning into an extremely pure blazing flame and blasting towards the [Giant Wood God]. ?Under the restraints of [True Name Shackles], [Giant Wood God] could not even dodge this punch. Boom! ! ?The flaming meteor hit the flesh and blood giant without any fancy and penetrated deep into his body ?Those filthy and rotten flesh and blood directly vaporized under the extremely high temperature. ?Although they tried their best to block the flaming meteor, the result of doing so was only to turn into firewood for the flames, which instead made the flames burn more intensely. Wrapped in the flames, Yan Yan felt calmer than ever before. ? Even though the fire is burning the external objects, it is also burning his physical body. ?But the physical pain made Yan Yan''s thoughts clearer, and even made him think about some long-forgotten issues. ?How many people has he killed with his fire? He cant remember clearly. Just as people dont remember how many pieces of bread they have eaten, they also dont remember the faces of people wailing and fearful in the flames. But in Yan Yans impression, he seemed to have been burned to death... The real gods! But this time, he just burned another boring guy. Ahhhhhhh! ! ?With an angry and painful roar, the huge body of the [Giant Wood God] was ignited like a torch. The majestic and poignant fire seeped out from the cracks on his body, became brighter and brighter, and quickly spread throughout his body. Until...the whole body collapses! ??If Shane were asked to find a word to describe the current scene, it would probably be - Whale falls! One whale falls and all things come into being. When a whale dies, its remains become nourishment for countless creatures in the sea. At this time, as the [Giant Wood God] collapsed, the meteors gradually fell downwards and fell into the unrecognizable [Giant Wood City], burning the remaining filthy flesh and blood. That is the fire that represents vitality. Rebirth, after destruction. From today on, this sea area can regain its vitality and is no longer a terrible restricted area for life. Not far away. Iris stared at this scene blankly, with a dark green tear flowing out of his dry eyes, and murmured. Goddess above, I finally did it. They won! Even though this victory was so tragic, even though the [City of Giant Trees] was completely destroyed, even though 90% of the tree people died in this battle. But they finally defeated the false gods and regained their freedom. at the same time. ?Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly. He sensed that there were countless remaining [Secret Sea Crystals] floating towards him in the air around him. Obviously, it was a gift left to him by many tree people. Ship Soul Experience +3%! Ship Soul Experience +4%! Ship Soul Experience +2%! After a few lines of prompts have flown by like a waterfall. Ship Spirit Level: LV6 (0%) (Black Swan)! (End of this chapter) Chapter 262 【Deep Sea Hunting】【Curse of Filth】 Chapter 262 [Deep Sea Hunting] [Curse of Filth] ??The warm and slightly cool secret power gathered from all corners of the [City of Giant Woods] and fell into Xia En''s body. The secret power alone appears weak and insignificant. When they gathered together, they turned into a stormy wave that could not be ignored, surging and washing through Xia En''s body. This is the gift of the entire [City of Giant Woods]. Xia En could vaguely feel the emotions of those tree people before they died. There is despair, helplessness, fear... However, there is also relief! In fact, from the moment these tree men received the [Seed of Corruption], their lives had come to an end. What is left is just a walking corpse with no thoughts. It is at the last moments of their lives that many tree people understand this and show some gratitude and relief. at the same time. Several lines of text flashed on the panel. Comprehensive quality: 5.836.0! Unlock talent: Deep Sea Hunting! Quality: Epic Description: Effect 1. During "Deep Sea Scuba Diving", you can start a random "Deep Sea Hunting". The projected body will descend anywhere in the seven seas with a water depth of at least more than 500 meters, and there is a high probability that it will encounter a "hunting target". Effect 2: The income obtained from the "hunting target" will be increased by an additional 50%! "Um?" After reading this brief description, Xia En was slightly stunned. ??The specific abilities of this new talent are actually not difficult to understand. ??It allows Xia En to ignore distance and location and directly appear in a random position in the deep sea as a [projection body]. Compared with the previously unlocked [Submarine Anchor Point], it has an additional "random" feature. In other words, even if Xia En only stays on the [Black Swan], he can go to the deep sea around the world every day to hunt sea monsters and explore ruins. ??Greatly saved Shane the time wasted in finding the diving location. Coupled with the second effect of this talent, the speed at which Xia En improves his strength can be increased again. After thinking for a moment, Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly. The professions of [Deep Sea Hunting] and [Deep Sea Devourer] are a perfect match! Deep Sea DevourerThis secret profession, the way to improve professional compatibility is to devour the giant beasts in the deep sea. ?However, during this period of time, Xia En has been busy exploring the [City of Giant Woods], and his level improvement has naturally slowed down. The new talent of [Deep Sea Hunting] can undoubtedly make up for this very well. ?However, the element of "randomness" has good and bad qualities. The advantage is that you can hunt those deep-sea giants that are thousands of miles away and have never been seen before. The disadvantage is that the strength and abilities of these [hunting targets] are all unknown. ??Perhaps you will encounter some sea monsters that Xia En can''t defeat at this stage. The situation of "killing at first sight" is very likely to happen. ??Moreover, unless you leave a [Submarine Anchor Point] in a new location, you will almost never encounter it again. This means that it cannot be repeatedly conquered like large dungeons such as [Coral City]. Overall. ?Xia En is quite satisfied with the new talents obtained through the upgrade of Ship Soul. ?Although it is not as buggy as [Ship Soul Synchrony], it is better than being simple and practical. Just when Xia En was carefully understanding his own condition. The burned-out core area of ??[Giant Wood God] suddenly released a strange wave. ?Xia En suddenly felt a chill in his heart and looked towards the direction where the fluctuation was coming from. Although the form of [The Giant Wood God] dissipated in the flames, an extremely strong resentment still remained. And the target of this group of resentment is not Yan Yan, but Xia En himself! In the blink of an eye. ?This group of resentment came to Xia En, and an angry and vicious roar came from it. Despicable blasphemer! Do you think you won? One day, our Lord will come to your world again and completely destroy this world! ?His roar sounded as if it was coming from an extremely far away place. ?There were countless low and thin murmurs mixed in, as if there were a large number of malicious voices surrounding Xia En. Not only that, an indescribable gaze seemed to have crossed an immeasurable distance, projected from the cosmic galaxy or the deep sea, and fell on Xia En. ?This moment. ??A roar suddenly sounded in Xia En''s mind. ?The roar was so violent that it seemed to overthrow the whole world and shattered his mind. At this critical moment, Xia En suddenly felt enlightened. The resentment left by the [Giant Wood God] is equivalent to a medium connecting the outer **** to the world, and can also project part of the other party''s power into the world. Without a doubt. ?The owner of this gaze is none other than [Huisi Ming] from outside this world! In less than a second, Xia En''s consciousness seemed to be torn into countless pieces. Severe pain penetrates every corner of the soul. ?Even before his eyes, many strange and bizarre illusions began to appear. But the strange thing is. Even though the experience at this moment was so bad, Xia En still did not collapse. ?Those broken thoughts seem to be glued together under the action of some unique force and repair themselves. Although in the next moment, they will be torn into pieces again. But the speed of repair can still barely keep up with the speed of damage, and the two maintain a delicate balance. At this time, Xia En was like a small boat moving forward in the stormy waves. It seemed like it might be swallowed by the sea at any time, but it miraculously stabilized. Even Xia En is not sure what this power that repairs his soul is. Is it the divine power of the goddess of life? Is it [Eye of the Secret Sea]? Or...the peculiarity of his soul itself? ?Shaan actually didnt have the extra energy to think about these issues, but if he didnt think about something, he would probably be driven crazy by the severe pain in his mind. For the legendary powerhouse, gods are existences that are difficult to look directly at. Not to mention, the **** at this time is far more terrifying than the ordinary gods [Evil Siming]! Xia Ens rank is even only fourth level! At this time. In the dim void, there was some doubtful emotion. ?The other person seemed surprised that such a weak ant could bear his gaze for such a long time. Immediately afterwards, several hallucinatory whispers sounded. I see You are...my...kind... We will meet again... ?After the whispers disappeared, Xia En''s mind quickly returned to clarity, and [Hui Siming] looked away from him. ?Xia En opened his eyes suddenly and gasped for air. He felt that his heart had never been beating so powerfully. ? And in his retinas, it seemed that the chaotic and grotesque illusions from before still remained. A few more seconds passed. ?Xia En''s restless mood gradually calmed down, and in the end, only those vague words were left, still echoing deep in his memory - You aremykind ??Xia En frowned slightly, he was sure that he really heard this sentence. Is this the sound of... [˼]? But, the same kind? Me? ?Xia En rubbed his forehead to relieve the remaining pain in his mind, and felt a little strange. You actually regarded him as one of your own kind? What does this mean? If he is an alien god, is he also an alien god? Or is it that the "similar kind" mentioned by [Hui Siming] is different from what I understand? ?Shaan shook his head and put these confusing speculations behind him. No matter what, the hostile relationship between him and [Gui Siming] will never change. His top priority now is not to consider these far-off things, but to improve his strength as soon as possible. Set a small goal first and advance to level five within half a month! ?Just very quickly, Xia En noticed a few new lines of prompts flashing on the panel. You are under the attention of "Evil Siming"! Obtained status: Curse of Filth! Description: "Huisiming" has paid special attention to you. ??Your breath will continue to attract the "apostles of filth" hiding in this world. You will be more susceptible to the attention of gods than ordinary people. Your luck will get moderately worse. Note: This effect cannot be eliminated before "Huisiming" dies. "Um?" ?Xia En frowned. Obviously, this was the curse left on him by that glance just now. Continuously attracting the [Apostles of Filth and Chaos] hiding in this world? Xia En''s heart moved slightly: "Sure enough, there are other [Apostles of Filth and Chaos] in this world." ?In his experience of traveling back in time, he had witnessed the [Giant Wood God] disguised as the God of Shadows to control the race of dark elves. In addition, he claimed to be the "Giant Tree God" and deceived the tree people. ??Xia En can easily guess that there may be other gods in the world that have been replaced by the [Apostles of Filth and Chaos]. This is also the so-called false god! ?These false gods are all pawns of [Hui Siming]. ?When [Husi Ming] really invades this world, they will play a vital role. ?At the moment, Xia En will undoubtedly be regarded as an enemy by the [Apostles of Filth] because of the [Curse of Filth], and may even be attacked again and again. But on the other hand, this may also be a way to eliminate false gods. ??Xia En had a bold idea in his mind. Under normal circumstances, he cannot easily distinguish the difference between local gods and false gods. But when the [Filthy Apostles] showed hostility, it was clear at a glance whether they were friends or foes. In this way, Xia En can remove the chess pieces of [Ultimate Siming] one by one. ?However, this bold idea has a prerequisite Xia Ende is strong enough! Otherwise, if you encounter false gods and are directly crushed and killed, how can you talk about completely eliminating them? As for the last two effects of [Curse of Filth], Xia En actually didnt care too much. There are too many lice and they are not itchy. ??He seems to be connected to the gods wherever he goes, so it doesn''t matter if he is easily noticed. In terms of luck, there is [Blessing of the Sea] and [Blessing of the Siren] to offset each other, which is considered harmless. The key is strength ?Xia En sighed softly, feeling a strong sense of urgency in his heart. ??Whether it was the influence of the [Curse of Filth] or the words of the [Giant Wood God] before his death, he felt vaguely uneasy. ?Shaen was keenly aware that something terrible seemed to be happening in this world. The scale may be no less than the world-destroying flood of that year. ??And now, Xia En, who is only at the fourth level, is not even qualified to intervene in this change! After a brief sigh of emotion, Xia En looked at the [City of Giant Woods] again. In the face of the raging flames, most of the things in the city were reduced to ashes. The only ones left are the hermit tree people such as Aerys, and a few conservative tree people. They looked at the completely destroyed city blankly, looking confused and at a loss. They did win this battle. But the price of victory was extremely heavy. A considerable number of tree people died in previous struggles with the reformists. Even with the blessing of the black forest, the combat power of the reclusive tree people is still far weaker than that of the mummies controlled by the [Giant Wood God]. ?What they regret most is that the home they have lived in for decades or hundreds of years has been completely destroyed. Only ruins remain. Without the [Giant Wood God], without the [Giant Wood City], they are indeed free. But where should we go from now on? Even Aerys couldn''t help but look blank when thinking about this issue. At this time, Xia En came to Iris''s side and spoke calmly. I can find you a new home. Are you willing to come with me? Iris was stunned and murmured, "What kind of new home is it?" It is a unique secret place with sunshine and grassland, mountains and rivers, endless forests, and the air is full of life. Xia En said: "There is also a group of creatures called the [Moon Yong Clan] living there. You may get along very happily with them." I will divide part of the territory in the secret realm for you. As a price, when necessary, I want you to fight for me! ?The reason why these tree people appear fragile is simply because they have been in a harsh environment for too long. When they regain their vitality, their combat power cannot be underestimated. By then, Xia En will be equivalent to having an army of tree people! ? And Iriss eyes were filled with disbelief: Are you telling the truth? Can wereally live in the sunshine? They tree people have lived in the dark sea for too long, and they no longer even dare to imagine living in the sun. ?The shackles on the body have been lifted, but the shackles on the mind still need time to be broken. Whether you believe it or not, you can tell at a glance. Suddenly, the silver light lit up, and Shane brought Iris into the [Rhine Secret Realm]. When he saw the vast forest, Iris couldn''t help but burst into tears. Dark green tears flowed from its eyes and fell into the rich soil. ?Its branches drooped down, and it prostrated in front of Xia En, showing its piety and respect in a very humble way. From now on, you are the master of our clan! Master, please tell me the name of this land. Xia En looked at the sky of the secret realm and said: "This place is called [Rhine], and it is also your new home." (End of this chapter) Chapter 263 History has long since changed! Chapter 263 History has already changed! Early the next morning. ?The morning sun shines on the surface of the [Sea of ??Annihilation], giving the dim and deep water a bit of a magnificent texture. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] moved forward smoothly, one behind the other. It feels really good to use the talent of [Body of the Deep] to make [Black Swan] soar under the sea. But this crazy move, of course, comes at a price. At this time, the hull of the [Black Swan] was still in tatters, the cracks on the hull and deck were shocking, and even the mast was slightly bent. The previous behavior of colliding with the tree people all the way caused great damage to the [Black Swan]. ?Coupled with the heavy pressure of sea water, even if [Black Swan] has the talent of [High-speed Regeneration], such an injury will still take several days to heal. Even the soul of the ship [Black Swan] fell into a deep sleep temporarily. ?Shaan touched the mast of the ship and said to himself. Xiao Hei, thank you for your hard work. Master...so sleepy... ?Xiao Hei responded in a daze and fell asleep again. Dang! clang! clang! Not far away, the sound of tapping metal kept coming. Xia En turned around and saw that Fei Ya was repairing the damaged steam device on the ship. Not only him, but Joey and other crew members are also dealing with the traces left by the previous battle. Some of the vines and branches of the tree people are still tightly entangled in the corners of the [Black Swan]. Mr. Captain! ??Joy was the first to notice Xia En''s arrival, walked briskly to his side, and sighed. Yesterday when [Black Swan] first sank into the sea, I was shocked! If [Black Swan] really sinks, I dont know what to do. Fortunately, its just a false alarm. ?Joy has lived on the ship for so long and has already developed feelings for the Black Swan. As she spoke, she looked at Xia En with bright eyes. I didnt expect Mr. Captain to have this ability to sail the ship in the sea. Its really amazing! As expected of Mr. Captain! Of course, Joey didnt know that this was the effect of [Ship Soul Synchronization] plus [Deep Sea Body], he only thought it was some kind of special secret ability. ?The power of the secret path is all kinds of strange, and the ability to make ships sail underwater is not too outrageous. ?Shaan smiled, but quickly said softly. However, even I cant do many things. ?Looking at Xia En''s expression, Joey couldn''t help but ask. Mr. Captain, are you in a bad mood? Xia En was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Is it so obvious?" ?Joy nodded heavily and looked at him with some concern: "Yes, Mr. Captain, what happened?" ?Xia En opened his mouth, but stopped talking. The reason why he was in a dull mood was simple. After returning to modern times, Shane carefully asked several crew members about their knowledge of part of history, and compared it with the history in his own mind. Finally, he came to a depressing conclusion The history of the Seven Seas has not changed much. ??The elves are still extinct, and the curse of aphasia still exists. This also means that he failed to change the past. Even with Xia Ens tenacity, he could not help but have some self-doubt after seeing this situation. Is his experience of traveling back in time really meaningful? Or is this just a joke played on him by fate? Its like... no matter how hard he tries, he can only become a passer-by in history, unable to reverse the past and overturn the world. ?Every time he thought about this, Xia En felt a little heavy. What is the trouble, Mr. Captain, would you like to tell me? ??Joy looked at Xia En with his eyes wide open, with an "I''m very curious" expression, and at the same time he was confident. As a crew member, you should share the captains worries! ?Shane thought for a moment and felt that it didn''t matter much to tell Joey these secrets. After all, even the fairy Tracy traveled back to the past with him and Yan Yan. ??If Joey wants to know, he can get the answer from Tracey. ?So, Shane told Joey the two experiences of returning to the past in as short a word as possible. ?However, out of some subtle mentality, Shane omitted some of what happened between him and Laila. Wha, what?! You and Mr. Yan Yan actually went back to the past! You have seen the elven cities that were not destroyed, witnessed the crises those cities encountered, and even met the elven queen? After hearing this, Joeys beautiful pupils were full of astonishment, and he was speechless. ??If it werent for the fact that it was her most trusted captain who said this, Joy would definitely think it was nonsense. ?There is no way, this kind of deed is really shocking and unbelievable. Even in the Seven Seas, where mystics are everywhere and legends fly, there are very few rumors about time travel. However, Xia En not only went back to the past, but also more than once! After a brief shock. ??Joy''s eyes suddenly became complicated when he looked at Xia En. ?Although she only spoke a few words, she could still imagine the magnificent encounters Mr. Captain had during these two journeys. ??Contacting tit-for-tat with powerful enemies in history is fascinating just thinking about it. However, during this experience, I was not able to stay with Captain Shane. ?Joy felt both regretful and guilty. Speaking of which, the elf queen named Laila seems to have had a wonderful encounter with Mr. Captain? ?Joy suddenly became alert and said to himself. Wait a minute, Laila...Isnt this the owner of that magic notebook? Isnt this too coincidental? Even though Shane didnt mention Lailas existence too much, out of a girls intuition, Joey could sense that something definitely happened between them! But the other party is a figure in history after all, and he might have turned into a handful of loess long ago. Does she need to be jealous of the other person? No! Definitely not! ?After taking some time to digest these horrific experiences, Joey sighed. Sure enough, you are truly worthy of being the captain! Such a big thing was done without us even knowing it. ?However, Joey did not forget his purpose of solving Xia En''s problems and thought about it. So, Mr. Captain, are you frustrated because you feel that all your efforts are in vain? Xia En thought for a while and replied: "Maybe there is indeed some such mentality." First of all, everything you do is not in vain. ?Joy said confidently: "Are the people you saved fake?" At least, they lived longer than before. Even if its just for one day, thats the difference you make. Not to mention, your appearance has made [City of Giant Woods] make such significant progress. ??Joy rarely showed such a determined attitude, and the more he spoke, the more serious he became. You think history has not been changed, maybe its just because past civilizations were flooded and buried under the sea. Some details of the past may have changed quietly. Hearing these words, Xia En was not relieved, but a small knot in his heart was lifted.????At this time, Joey continued. "Actually... I have another guess. Of course it''s just a guess. Just listen to it." Shane: Just tell me. ?Joy said in an uncertain tone: "In your opinion, history has not been changed." Is there a possibility History, has it actually changed a long time ago? Xia En was slightly startled: "...huh?" ??Joy didnt know how to express his thoughts accurately, so he seemed a little incoherent. What Im saying is that history as we know it may have been tampered with from the beginning. Your behavior of going back to the past seems to be accidental, but it is actually inevitable! Because, what happened in the past has already happened. ?Joys words were confusing, but Shane roughly understood what she meant. On the surface, Xia Ens entry into the Elven Temple is the cause and his past encounters are the result. But from a time scale, what he did in the past is the "cause." What can also be used as evidence is the reaction of the souls of the ancestors in the [Yueyong Clan] altar. ??Xia En made an agreement with the ancestors of the "Yongyue Clan" because of certain actions in the "past". Compared to the situation when the two sides had not met, hasn''t this period of history been changed? ?Xia En''s heart was shaken, and his mood became more and more complicated. ??If Joey''s conjecture is correct, doesn''t it mean that no matter how hard he tries, the elves'' demise is a foregone conclusion? ?So, Laila also... Suddenly at this time. ??Joy suddenly felt a strange movement coming from the space ring. Before she could open the ring in a hurry, an ancient notebook flew out on its own. It is [Lailas Magic Notes]! Xiange and Joey took turns holding this magic notebook, and it happened to be Joeys turn to put it on him today. Seeing this, both Xia En and Xia En were a little surprised. This is the first time they have seen this kind of change in this notebook. Soon, the magic notebook turned its pages in mid-air. It was not until the last page of the book that the sound of turning the pages stopped. On the paper of unknown material, Shane saw a few lines of text written in Elvish. To be precise, it was just a few fragmented words. Some of the contents were erased by an invisible force. The history you think...may not be the real history... The observed...cannot be changed... However, you can deceive... ?After Xia En saw these lines of text clearly, the writing on the paper quickly faded like ink dripping into water, and finally disappeared without leaving any trace. "This is" ??Joy stared blankly at [Laila''s Magic Notes], not understanding what was happening. She doesnt know Elvish, so naturally she doesnt know the meaning of these lines of text. ?Xia En, on the other hand, frowned deeply and murmured to himself. The history I thought may not be true? What is observed cannot be changed? What does this mean? Can I deceive? Who can I deceive? He guessed that these words were most likely a reminder from Laila. It will only be stimulated under special circumstances. However, these words were a bit too vague for Xia En to understand. ?However, since Laila was able to leave this method in the magic note, maybe it means that she expected today''s situation? Xia En shook his head to expel the chaotic thoughts from his mind. ?Whether it is for himself or the crew, he must continue to look forward! He can be depressed for a short time, but he cannot remain confused. Because, he is the captain of this ship! Shane rubbed Joeys head and said softly: Thank you, Joey. I feel much better after talking to you so much. ??Joy''s face was red, enjoying Xia En''s touch very much, and whispered in a low voice. "Mr. Captain, it doesn''t matter if you rely on me any more..." Xia En didnt hear her words clearly and asked in confusion: What did you say? What, nothing! ??Joy hurriedly waved his hands and quickly changed the topic. Speaking of which, what happened to Mr. Yan Yan? He has been alone in his room since yesterday and hasnt even eaten breakfast. Xia En thought about Yan Yan''s performance in [City of Giant Woods], and his tone was a little heavy: "I think he probably recalled something." ??Joy was surprised: "In other words, is he going to recover his memory?" Isnt this a good thing? Shaan shook his head: "Not necessarily." What if those memories are too heavy and painful? Sometimes, remembering things too clearly may not be a good thing. "But this kind of thing can only be handled by himself." ?Shane did not say what he was most worried about. Human personality is determined by memory. ?Moreover, compared with the long years in the past, Yan Yans time on the Black Swan was extremely short. ?After recovering his memory, Yan Yan may have a drastic change in temperament and no longer regard them as his companions. But no matter what, as long as Yan Yan still regards himself as a crew member of the [Black Swan], then there will definitely be a place for him on this ship. At this time. Xia En glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a ship passing quickly on the sea not far away. Hey, is that [Nuanxue]? ??Joy recognized the identity of the ship: "They should be conducting a search and rescue operation, right?" At the same time that Xia En saw the "Nuanxue". The crew on the [Warm Snow] naturally also saw the [Black Swan] and the [Diamond Star]. Some sailors were surprised and asked: "Is that the [Black Swan]?" Why did it become like this after not seeing it for two days? From the appearance, the condition of the [Black Swan] can only be described as "horrible", which is far different from the image two days ago. The girl Lucy felt that her previous guess had been confirmed, and said with a smile: "Do you still have to ask?" It must have been attacked by the tree people from [City of Giant Trees]. Hmph, this is what happens if you dont listen to advice! Another sailor also echoed: "As a captain, the most important thing is to have self-awareness!" Lucy was unforgiving, but she was kind-hearted: "But since you have encountered someone, you might as well go and help." (End of this chapter) Chapter 264 The first time [Deep Sea Hunting] Chapter 264 The first time [Deep Sea Hunting] Just when the crew of the [Nuanxue] were talking a lot. ??The gentle woman Jiya walked out of the cabin and said with a beautiful frown. Lucy, dont talk nonsense. "elder sister!" Lucy looked aggrieved and said, "I didn''t say anything wrong." It was the captain who overestimated his capabilities and made his ship become like this. If you had listened to my advice, you wouldnt have ended up like this. Outsiders dont know that [Black Swan] has the ability to repair itself. For an average captain, such serious damage to the hull is undoubtedly very fatal. ?This not only means that almost all the proceeds from this voyage will be invested in ship repairs, but also that the ship will not be able to sail for a long time. ?There are many captains who are completely unable to recover because of a failure at sea. From the perspective of Lucy and other crew members, although the captain of the [Black Swan] is not at this point, he has also learned a profound lesson. ?Hearing Lucy''s words, Jia Ya''s attitude was still very stern: "Whether it is success or failure, that is everyone''s own business." As outsiders, who are we to make decisions for them? Ji Ya looked at Lucy seriously and said seriously: "Some words can be thought about in your heart, but once you say them out, it will be disaster." Lucy, I wont say these words again. ?Seeing her sister''s serious attitude, Lucy straightened her expression and nodded. Sister, I understand. Lucy glanced at the [Black Swan] not far away and asked carefully: "Then do we still want to help them?" Ji Ya shook her head: "That captain has the communication stone I gave him." If he encounters an irresistible danger, he will take the initiative to contact us. "Since he hasn''t done this yet, it means that the situation is not that bad." Besides Jiya looked at the expressions of the other crew members and sighed: "If you meet them now, you might be thought to be mocking them." ?The crew members couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. ?After making the decision, Jiya continued to do her job as if she had not seen the Black Swan. It didnt take long. The [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] sailed away from this sea area. The [Nuanxue] also found the target of this rescue. This is a small merchant ship. The captain of the merchant ship is a somewhat wealthy businessman. As soon as he saw Lucy and others, the businessman said incoherently: "Fire! Fire... is burning!" Lucy looked confused: "What fire? What''s burning?" Dont be impatient, speak slowly. The businessman took a few deep breaths and continued: "Yesterday, a fire burned deep in the sea." You dont know that at that time, the entire sea burned into a deep red color, like lava flowing on the bottom of the sea. When he said this, the businessman still had a frightened look on his face. Obviously, the scene of the burning sea left a deep impression on him. The businessman rambled, as if babbling. "I seemed to see countless tree men, as well as a giant figure, and roars and wailing sounds echoed on the bottom of the sea." The propulsion device on my ship broke down at that time. Hearing these words, Lucy''s first reaction was disbelief. How can there be fire in the sea? Could it be that you are hallucinating? ?Other sailors also looked at the merchant suspiciously. ?Those who sail on the sea are prone to come into contact with some indescribable things, and thus see chaotic and absurd hallucinations. ?This businessman most likely encountered this situation. But the businessman shook his head and said firmly: "It''s really not an illusion!" Not just me, everyone else on the boat also saw exactly the same scene. On the other side, Jiya''s heart skipped a beat: "Treant?" Its the [City of Giant Woods]!? From the merchants words, she suddenly realized that something had definitely happened in [City of Giant Woods]. Thinking of the [Black Swan] that had just left the [City of Giant Woods], it was difficult for Jia not to connect the two. So, she said immediately. Lets go to [City of Giant Woods] to have a look. Although the crew members of the "Warm Snow" were a little surprised by Jia Ya''s decision, the captain''s prestige was there and no one would object to her opinion. As a search and rescue ship, the [Nuanxue] is of course also equipped with its own salvage crew. ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????Wow! With splashing water, several salvagers jumped into the sea water. Lucy is among them. It didnt take long. Lucys little head emerged from the sea first. ?But her face was full of confusion, as if she suspected that she was hallucinating. Seeing her expression, Jia couldn''t help but ask: "Lucy, what did you see?" Lucy said in a daze: "[The City of Giant Woods]... is gone..." "ah?" Jia Ya was stunned for a full second before she realized what Lucy said. You mean... That underwater forest, that huge tree, those tree people...are gone! Theyre all gone! ?Other salvagers also looked like they had seen a ghost. What they saw in the sea was just an empty ruin. ?On the sand at the bottom of the sea, there is a layer of something that looks like ashes. The tree people who hunted ships and sailors before disappeared completely as if they had never appeared before. Not even a tree man was left. It is hard to imagine that this has changed in just a few days. I know...its the [Black Swan]! ?One of the salvagers suddenly came back to his senses and murmured: "It was them who destroyed the [City of Giant Woods]..." Eliminate all possibilities, no matter how incredible the remaining ones are, that is the truth of the matter! Lucy suddenly felt her face getting hot. ?She originally thought that Xia En suffered a lot and was forced to leave [City of Giant Woods]. However, they did not expect that in less than three days, they would actually do such a big thing and directly level the [City of Giant Woods] to the ground. The legend about the forbidden area of ??life in [City of Giant Trees] has probably ended here. Thinking of this, Lucy felt a little lucky. Fortunately, she listened to her sister''s advice, otherwise the situation might have turned out differently! Jiya looked towards the direction where the Black Swan left, with a hint of shock in her eyes. For what happened after death. Shane was neither informed nor interested. He has determined his next destinationthe capital of the Seven Seas Federation, [Liu Li Island]! ?Shaan is basically certain that the few sentences left in [Laila''s Magic Notes] are the hints given to him. But if he wants to detoxify these tips, he obviously cannot do it by himself. There must be some mystics and scholars in the time and space domain on [Liu Li Island], who may be able to answer Xia En''s questions. Another aspect. [Liu Li Island] is also the place where the most complete and detailed records of history before the Great Flood are recorded. If you want to change history, you must understand history! ??Xia En might be able to find some clues from those histories to confirm some of his conjectures. ?However, at the moment, the [Black Swan]s injuries have not yet recovered, and its speed has been greatly reduced. It will take at least a month to arrive at [Liu Li Island]. Xia En plans to take advantage of this time to improve his strength as much as possible, preferably to the fifth level. After all, [Liu Li Island] is the most prosperous island in the Seven Seas Federation, and there are countless masters and powerful people on the island. Even the fifth-level combat power on [Liu Li Island] is only mediocre. In order to avoid encountering certain accidents, it is still necessary to improve your strength as soon as possible. Wait until the number of [Submarine] is refreshed. ?Shaan sat in the captain''s cabin as usual and opened the panel. According to the effect of "Deep Sea Hunting", projection will be performed in random sea areas! Start diving? Without thinking, Xia En said: "Submarine, start!" As his thoughts fell, his consciousness suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. Then it fell, then fell again A sense of dislocation, as if traveling through endless time and space, and arriving at the destination instantly, passed by in an instant. Then the surroundings became quiet. Xia En opened his eyes, and what he saw in his field of vision was darkness. Even with the talent of [Lightless Touch], this sea area still seems too dark. ?This "darkness" seems to be not just the effect of light, but more like the silent infection of some mysterious power in the sea water. Its like A field? Upon realizing this, Xia En felt awe-struck. The realm itself is a form of control over the secret power. In this world, Shane would not be surprised at all if the giant beasts of the deep could master the power of the domain. He calmed down and moved his limbs cautiously. He suddenly felt a feeling of stagnation and blockage, and his body seemed particularly heavy. This shows that the depth of this sea area is deeper than any of his previous [submersible] dives. Because of the ability of the [Projection Body] to adapt to the deep sea, it is a little difficult to move. ?Xia En was in a weird mood, he thought to himself. Where did you send me this [Deep Sea Hunting]? How deep is the deep sea? ?Shane had heard of a way to divide the deep sea. The area 100 meters below the sea surface is called the [illumination layer]. The area between 100 and 500 meters is called the "low light layer". 500 to 2000 meters[aphotic layer]. 2000 to 20,000 meters[Abyssal layer]. As for the deeper places, there are [Moho layer] and [Gutenberg layer]. However, that is an area close to the mantle and crust, and may not still be within the scope of the ocean. ?Besides, this world is not the earth that Sean is familiar with. It is normal for the depth of the ocean to deviate from the center of the earth. Based on Xia Ens guess, this sea area is already at the depth of the [Aphotic Layer], approaching the [Abyssal Layer] further below. Hum At this time. There was a sudden strong vibration in the sea water. ?It seemed like the breath of some huge creature, and it also seemed like the sea area was restless. The powerful water flow came from behind and hit Xia En''s back. At the critical moment, Xia En forcibly twisted his body and avoided the sneak attack at an incredible angle. ? He ??glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the attacker clearly in the dim water. This is a big fish with strange spines all over its body. ?Bone spurs, like fish fins and scales, extend from every joint in the body and float in the sea water. At first glance, it looks a bit like a lionfish, the so-called "lionfish." ?However, compared with ordinary lionfish, this deep-sea monster fish is hundreds of times larger and hundreds of times more ferocious. Where the eye sockets should have been, only a hollow depression could be seen, with a dark red halo shining inside. ?The moment he saw Xia En, the deep-sea monster fish showed great aggression. ??The ugly body swayed violently in the sea water, then turned into a black shadow and rushed over. Seeing this, Xia En pushed forward with both hands, and actually wrestled with this strange fish head on! ! ?In the deep sea water, a muffled sound was immediately heard, and turbulent undercurrents spread out in all directions. Ship Soul Power -10! ??Xia En glanced at his palm and found that the bone spurs on the strange fish had pierced the flesh and blood of the [Projection Body], leaving several holes in his body. Its not just that. There was still a strange feeling of weakness coming from the place where he was pierced, as if it was eroding his body. Is this...poison? ?Xia En was stunned for a moment, and quickly determined the source of the feeling of powerlessness. Under normal circumstances, [Projection Body] will not be poisoned. After all, this body doesnt even have real flesh, blood, or nerves, so conventional toxins naturally cannot take effect. Its just that the toxin of this deep sea monster fish is obviously extraordinary. It is a poison that directly acts on the secret power! Once poisoned, the toxin will continue to consume the secret power. Even the [Projection Body] will be affected a lot. Too careless. Xia En thought secretly. Ordinary lionfish already possess quite a lot of toxins. So he had already guessed that the deep sea monster fish might be poisonous, and it was only because of his trust in the "poison resistance" of [Projection Body] that he chose to fight head-on. Ship Soul Power -1! Ship Soul Power -2! Looking at the falling numbers on the panel, Xia En understood that a quick decision was needed! Fortunately, the fight just now allowed him to roughly judge the power of the deep sea monster fish. In terms of physical fitness, I am still stronger! ?So, without hesitation, Xia En directly activated the [Double Ship Soul] and [Giant Wristwheel] to transform into a giant with incomparable strength. ??The previously huge strange fish looked very petite and exquisite in front of him. Now, you are the challenger! After Shane transformed, the battle ended quickly. ??While the [Projection Body] had not dissipated, he decisively enjoyed the feast of the deep-sea monster fish. ?This strange fish looks ugly, but its meat is actually extremely tender. Even if it is eaten raw, Xia En feels extremely comfortable eating it. ?However, since the strange fish contains unknown toxins, [Projection Body] can eat it without fear of death, so it is better not to let the crew take this risk. You swallowed the "Secret Poison Stickleback"! Comprehensive quality: 6.06.1! Career compatibility +5%! Talent "Swallowing Evolution" is activated! You can choose the direction of evolution from the following three talents. 1. Overgrown with bone spurs (rare) 2. Slippery skin (inferior) 3. Deep sea secret poison (precious) (can be superimposed with the skill "Great Dark Sky"!) (End of this chapter) Chapter 265 Deep diving trip Chapter 265 Deep Diving Journey [Deep Sea Secret Poison]? ??Xia En''s eyes glanced over the first two options and landed on the third talent. Deep Sea Secret Poison ?Quality: Rare Type: Talent Description: According to legend, the deep sea is the origin of life. Endless mysteries and secrets are buried under the deep sea. And that is also the resting place of the "Lord of the Deep". In this environment, living things will evolve various incredible abilities to continue life. The toxin of "Secret Poison Stickleback" is one of them. This toxin can corrode the secret power and reduce the combat power of the secret pather. The degree of weakening increases with the poisoning time. Can be superimposed with the effect of "Great Dark Sky" absorbing secret power. Not bad, not bad! ?Xia Ens eyes brightened slightly. From the description, this talent is not particularly surprising, but it is more practical! Great Dark Skyhas the ability to weaken the enemy and strengthen itself. Coupled with this weird poison, it will definitely be able to exert an effect of one plus one greater than two. More importantly. ?It wasnt until this [Deep Sea Hunting] that Xia En truly realized the power of the [Deep Sea Devourer] profession. ?It is not just as simple as enhancing the overall quality, but also constantly plundering their abilities while devouring sea monsters to make up for one''s own shortcomings. ??Its like An evolution toward perfection! ?The last time he swallowed the [Macrophagic Sandworm], Xia Ens feeling was not so intuitive. But this time, when he made the choice, he truly felt that some invisible defect in his body had been filled. Swallow, then evolve Abandon the past, transcend yourself, and continue to transform. Xia En murmured to himself: "Is this what happened?" Somewhere, he seemed to vaguely understand the core of this profession of "Deep Sea Devourer". Suddenly, a line of prompts appeared on the panel. Career compatibility +10%! ?Any behavior or philosophy that is consistent with this secret career may increase career compatibility. ?However, Xia En inevitably had some strange worries. If this trend continues, I wont stop being a human being, right? But then I thought about it, it seemed like he was not a pure-blood human in the first place? ?Moreover, it is impossible for Xia En to give up and continue on the secret road. When the [Projected Body] is about to dissipate. He glanced at the deep-sea monster fish that had been wiped clean by eating, a look of expectation appeared in his eyes, and he couldn''t help but lick his lips. I wonder what kind of prey I will encounter next time? One month later. A sea area blocked by several hunting boats. The federal research vessel [Alice] dropped its anchor. On the deck, many crew members who looked like researchers were looking excitedly at the spherical instruments being lowered into the seawater. ?The clergy wearing robes and holding incense burners in their hands are walking near the cable, gently shaking the incense in their hands while praying for this spherical instrument. ?This device is called [Qianyuan], and it is the latest manned submersible developed by the Federation. It is made of various special and precious materials, supplemented by cutting-edge magic pattern technology, which greatly increases its ability to withstand pressure. It is said that it is one of only five submersibles capable of exploring waters below 10,000 meters. Today, what the [Qianyuan] wants to do is to conduct an in-depth investigation in this sea area. ???? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Swarmed by the waves, the [Qianyuan] slowly submerged into the sea and gradually moved towards a deeper area. Inside the Qianyuan, the three explorers looked out at the seawater through a one-meter-thick special glass, feeling a little uneasy. ?This time the target of the "Qianyuan" is the sea area with a depth of about 10,000 meters. At that depth, even a slight malfunction may lead to their death. Rescue is something that does not exist at all. After all, they will be dead before help arrives. It can be said that the level of danger is frighteningly high when performing such a deep-diving mission. In those periods when the technology was not yet mature, the mortality rate was even more outrageous, which once attracted protests and opposition from some people. Only those who regard some things as more important than life will participate in such a plan without hesitation. The three explorers in the Qianyuan at this time are such people. As the depth of the sea water increases, the submersible gradually becomes quiet. In such a closed environment, the silence is undoubtedly unsettling. So, the man in military uniform among the three was the first to say with a wry smile: "Dr. Huo Xing, Priest William, shall we say something?" If I keep silent like this, I might be driven crazy. The person known as "Dr. Huo Xing" is a bald, middle-aged scientific researcher. Hearing the words of the man in military uniform, Huo Xing smiled: "Major Renault, be normal, just treat it as an ordinary field mission, don''t be so nervous." ?Besides, the cleric in robes shook his head and said: "Huo Xing, what you said is wrong." Major Reynold is not like you, who has participated in deep dive projects several times. Its normal to feel nervous when you experience the deep sea under 10,000 meters for the first time. ??This clergyman''s name is William, and his robe with black background and silver edge and blue stripes is the standard dress of the Deep Sea Church. ?Those wavy wave patterns are an alternative divine pattern and an extension of the storm goddesss power. Since most of the land in the world is submerged by sea water, the authority of the Storm Goddess has been greatly enhanced, making the influence of the Deep Sea Church almost cover the seven seas. The priests of the Storm Goddess have also become an indispensable group of people in navigation. ?Whether its avoiding terrible storms or fighting the invisible pollution of the sea, Storm Priests play an extremely important role. I think back then, even Duke Nova, who followed the Scarlet Lord, had many Storm Priests on board. ?It is not difficult to see their importance from this. On the other hand. Storm Priests are human beings too. After enduring invisible pollution and mental pressure again and again, they will inevitably be assimilated and affected. In general. The priests who travel with the ship must return to the shore after a period of time and undergo a period of purification and baptism in the Church of the Storm. Most of them could then recover and continue serving as chaplains on other ships. Some of them who have mental hidden dangers can only stay away from the sea and continue to serve the Deep Sea Church as priests on land for the rest of their lives. It can be said that these priests... are actually consumables in navigation. ?It is precisely because of this that the status of the Storm Priest has always been extremely high at sea. ??If Priest William hadn''t taken the initiative to ask for help, the Seven Seas Federation would not have been willing to send him to **** the "Qianyuan". ?However, Dr. Hosing''s relationship with the pastor was obviously not very harmonious. "Haha..." He quickly sneered and retorted: "Whether it is the first time or several times, since you have already sat in this submersible, maintaining a normal mind is the most correct choice." At the worst possible moment, fear and panic are meaningless. ??William frowned: "Humph, you guy always treats people as mechanical beings." How can humans always control their emotions? Huo Xing said lightly: "I can do it." "you!" Seeing that the two companions were about to get into a quarrel, Major Reno quickly advised them. You two, calm down! Calm down! We are still on a deep dive mission! Hearing this, William and Huo Xing glared at each other, turned away, and stopped talking. Seeing the two of them calm down, Renault breathed a sigh of relief and quietly wiped away the cold sweat. Honestly. ???Reynold can become a major of the Federation, and his own strength and talent are quite impressive. Fifth rank, the bloodline of the Sea Clan. Although in the deep sea of ??10,000 meters, it will still be crushed into a pulp, but at least it can last half a second longer. This is one of the reasons why the Federation chose him as an explorer. However, in front of William and Hosing, Renault could only act submissive. The reason is simple. William and Huo Xing are both sixth-level Secret Pathers! The former is a high-status Storm Priest, and even Renault''s superiors must treat him with courtesy. The latter is one of the developers of the "Qianyuan" and a well-known deep-sea scholar in the Federation. He has conducted in-depth research on the ecology and secrets of the deep sea. Compared with the two of them, isn''t Renault just a small shrimp? Furthermore, what makes Renault sweat the most is... ??Priest William and Dr. Hosing have always been at odds with each other. They have repeatedly expressed different views in public, and even had the experience of "discussing" with each other. ??Reno really couldn''t understand. Why did his superiors let them participate in this deep dive operation together when they knew this? ??Two sixth-level strong men, even if they are not good at combat, can destroy this submersible in a casual confrontation, right? Or does the boss have other motives for doing this? ?When people are nervous, they tend to have random thoughts. ?Especially for Renault, who had dived into the deep sea for the first time, he couldn''t stop his chaotic thoughts. The beeps emitted by the instruments continue to echo in the submersible. ??Reno glanced at the instrument and found that the number on it had jumped to "950." For ordinary submersibles, this depth is already quite remarkable. In other words, they have reached their limits. But for [Qianyuan], this is just the beginning of the deep diving journey. ?However, looking out through the transparent glass, the sea water has become pitch black. Only the high-power lights that come with the "Qianyuan" cast a faint light in the sea water. But at this time, Hosing said: "Major Reynolds, turn off the external lighting system." ??Reno was stunned for a moment: "Huh?" ?This time, William rarely refuted Huo Xing''s opinion, but took the initiative to explain. At this depth, the light will attract the attention of some sea creatures, and it may cause damage to the [Abyss]. Hearing this, Renault immediately turned off the external lighting system. ?However, in this case, the underwater world outside the glass window was left with only an irreversible darkness. ?It''s like being in a dark fog where you can''t see your fingers. It is also like being in a dead universe without a single star. Looking at this scene, Renault felt an indescribable fear. ?To put it bluntly, it is the fear of gradually drifting away from the civilized world and the incomparable insignificance of human beings. Major Reno. Priest William''s calm voice sounded in his ears. ?This voice carries the sound of the waves, as well as the secret power to calm people''s hearts. Treat by talking. ?This kind of "talking therapy" magic is widely used in the deep-sea church, and can quickly restore the sanity of contaminated people. I suggest you dont stare into the deep sea all the time. William advised: "While you are looking directly at the deep sea, the deep sea is also looking at you." ?Leno suddenly came back to his senses and responded with lingering fear: "Yes, I understand..." As a priest, William has the responsibility to maintain the mental health of his companions, so he spoke. How about this, lets have a chat? Major Reno, why did you take part in this deep dive trip? Reno thought for a while and said, "Because... I am a soldier." My boss asked me to come, so I came. It is my bounden duty to obey orders. Hearing this, Huo Xing sneered: "It''s a boring reason." You cant even control your own will. Even if you are promoted to a higher level, you are still just a weak person. ??Reynold was also a little unhappy after being stabbed by Huo Xing, so he asked in reply. Then why did you participate in this operation, doctor? Huo Xing looked at the deep sea outside the window and said enthusiastically: "Of course it''s for...the truth!" I have been exploring the mysteries of the sea, and how could I miss this opportunity to peer into the deep sea? I will give everything for the truth in the world! ?Reno frowned. Huo Xing''s words sounded like what a mad scientist would say. But the word "truth" gave him some other associations. ??Compared to Hosing, Renault had a better impression of William, so he turned around and asked: "Mr. William, what is your reason?" ?William touched his chin and smiled gently: "Maybe, I just want to see some existence, that''s all." Even if I only look up to you for a second, I will die without regrets. Listening to William''s words, Renault felt a little nervous for no reason, and felt that the smile on his face was particularly weird. ?Things that can only be seen in the deep sea, what could they be? After a brief conversation, the three of them returned to their original silence. I dont know how long this silence lasted. Until the number on the meter jumped to "8500!" ?Reno vaguely noticed that the [Abyss] seemed to have sunk into a trench and headed towards deeper waters. Suddenly at this time. ?DiDiDiDi! ?The instrument emits a sharp and short beep, like an alarm. Reno couldn''t help but look solemn and exclaimed: "Something, something is approaching [The Abyss]! It''s extremely fast!" ?William and Huo Xing also changed their expressions slightly, and turned their heads to look outside the thick glass almost at the same time. ?In the deep sea water, there is a huge creature swimming vaguely! (End of this chapter) Chapter 266 The [Profound Lord] who will eventually wake up Chapter 266: The Lord of the Underworld will finally wake up The seawater at a depth of 8,500 meters is an area that sunlight can never reach. Eternal darkness and dead silence are the main themes here. However, at this time, in this sea area that should have been a restricted area for life, giant things appeared moving. Through the solid glass window, the three of them could see some shadowy outlines emerging from the thick and deep sea water. ?It looked like some kind of slippery and strange tentacles, wandering silently in the darkness. What is that? ?Due to the narrow field of vision, Renault was unable to see the entirety of the giant thing clearly. But just such a startling glance made him feel a great sense of oppression, as if it was difficult to even breathe. Phobia of giant objects. Refers to the fear of huge creatures that are far larger than oneself. For no reason, Renault thought of this concept that was proposed by someone unknown. In the past, Renault felt that he did not have such symptoms. But when he caught a glimpse of the existence outside the glass window, Renault realized... That''s because none of the "giant things" he had seen before were huge enough! ?Only in the face of those truly behemoths can human beings understand their own smallness and weakness from the bottom of their hearts. ?However, when Renault turned around and looked, he found that the other two companions in the submersible were not as panicked as he was. Just the opposite. ??Dr. Huo Xing''s eyes suddenly burst into light, and he stared intently into the depths of the sea. ?It looked like he was not observing a giant beast in the deep sea, but like a lustful evil spirit spying on a beautiful woman. ??Priest William also did not show fear on his face. Instead, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes showed desire and excitement, and he recited something in a low voice. Seeing this scene, Renault couldn''t help but feel a little confused. ??Is this the reaction that normal people should have when encountering a deep-sea monster? Is it his problem, or is it the problem of William and the others? ??Reynold was certainly not a stupid person to be able to become a major of the Federation. He thought about it for a moment, and a sudden realization suddenly arose in his heart ?William and Huo Xings participation in this deep-diving operation was definitely not just for scientific research purposes. Only myself stupidly got involved and was completely kept in the dark. ! ! Suddenly, Renault heard some unusual noises. ??Moreover, this sound comes from inside the diving cabin! ?Leno suddenly felt his throat was a little dry and turned his head stiffly, looking in the direction of the sound. The handle that controls the gate is rotating on its own. But he blinked, and the gate returned to its original shape, motionless. "This is?" Reno suddenly felt horrified, and asked William and William: "Have you heard any strange noises?" I seemed to hear someone knocking on the cabin, and someone was turning the handle of the gate..." ?His tone was urgent, revealing strong uneasiness. This is a manifestation of sanity constantly falling and being on the verge of madness. ?William glanced at Renault and said in a soft, soothing voice. Major Reno, calm down. It is extremely normal to have auditory and visual hallucinations when witnessing this thing from the deep sea. Then, William whispered to himself again. However, even a specially trained and determined explorer like you is feeling so much pressure. It seems that the rumors about this trench are indeed true. Under the influence of divine magic, Renault barely managed to maintain a clear mind, but he could feel that the protective effect of this divine power was gradually weakening. ?Even so, Renault couldn''t help but ask. What rumor is it? At this time, Huo Xing next to him said: "According to legend, [The Lord of the Deep] divided his flesh and blood among his nine descendants before falling into a long sleep." And these descendants continued to multiply and grow, and then there were [Secrets of the Deep Sea] in various places in the deep sea. However, after generations of reproduction, the bloodline of [Yousuis heirs] is actually diluting and weakening. Some [Subjects of Yousui] can defeat even second- and third-level mystical practitioners. "But those [first-generation species] are still the closest existence to the [Deep Master]. They live in the deep sea that no one knows, and seem to be waiting for a certain moment to arrive." Hearing these words, Renault opened his eyes slightly and murmured in disbelief. So, we dived into this trench just to... William confessed directly: "Yes, we are here precisely for the [First Generation Seed] of [The Lord of the Deep]." To be honest, after learning the true purpose of William and Hosing, Renault felt even more incredible. Just to see the legendary [first-generation species], the two of them were willing to risk their lives and dive into the deep sea ten thousand meters below, regardless of the possibility of death. This...what is this picture? It is understandable that Huo Xing is willing to devote his life to scientific research. ?Then as the priest of the Church of the Deep Sea, why does William care so much about the "Lord of the Deep"? C At this moment, the cabin of the [Qianyuan] suddenly trembled. ??Reno knew that this was the effect of the fluctuations in the water flow outside the submersible, and he couldn''t help but look panicked. ?At this depth, if the [Abyss] is attacked by a deep-sea monster, even if there is only a little damage, there is absolutely no reason to survive. At this time, William and Huo Xing''s eyes were still outside the glass window, and their expressions changed slightly. Reynold''s peripheral vision glanced outside the window and saw the existence appearing in the sea water. ?That is an extremely thick tentacle. ?This tentacle alone is thicker than the diameter of the [Qianyuan]. ??William shouted: "Quick! Turn on the external lighting system!" ?Reno subconsciously did as he said. As the light spread in the sea water, the three people were able to see ?The surface of the wrist has a fine structure like fine metal scales, and faint dark blue lines can be seen between the rough and complex protrusions. ?Those lines faintly form the shape of eyeballs. This patternthis pattern ??Dr. Huo Xing murmured excitedly: "It is indeed the first generation species of [Netherworld Lord]!" There was madness in his eyes, and he began to write down the patterns with pen and paper as he muttered words. He also wrote down a large number of strange formulas, as if he was calculating and deriving something. ?Looking carefully, there is some kind of waterfall-like data flow flowing through the surface of Huo Xing''s eyeballs. ?Seeing this scene, William frowned suddenly and took a deep look at Huo Xing. There is actually murderous intent in these eyes! ?William took a deep breath and asked coldly. I guessed it right, Huo Xing, you joined the [Truth Society], right? [Truth Society!] ??Reno''s expression changed in an instant, and he looked at Huo Xing with vigilance. ?Of course he has heard of the name of the [Truth Society] and knows that its members are all unscrupulous lunatics. In fact, there is often only a thin line between madman and genius. Therefore, the more scholars who have made great achievements in their respective fields, the more likely they are to fall into the arms of the [Truth Society]. When Hosing said earlier that he was "willing to sacrifice everything for the truth," Reno had vague doubts. It wasnt until he heard Williams words at this time that Renault was completely sure of this. ?Unexpectedly, when faced with the questioning of the two men, Huo Xing directly confessed: "Yes, I have become a believer in ''truth'' a long time ago." He looked at the two of them coldly: "So, are you going to attack me?" Dont forget, this is under the deep sea! As long as you dare to take action, we will all die here. Huo Xing was obviously sure that William would not start a war at the bottom of the sea, so he exposed his identity unscrupulously. ? He ??has some special means of transmitting information. He only needs to pass on the data analysis of the [first-generation species], and his mission will be completed. Speaking, Huo Xing stared at William again and sneered. Besides, as a believer of the [Netherworld Religion], does your purpose of participating in the deep-diving project be simple? You have the nerve to talk to me? [The Nether Sect?] Leno was stunned again. The reputation of this sect is not much less than that of the Truth Society. What they believe in is the [Deep Lord] under the deep sea. But in ordinary peoples perception, this is obviously a dangerous and weird cult! There are only three people in this ship [Qianyuan]. It turns out that one is a mad scientist from the [Truth Society], and the other is a cultist from the [Netherworld Sect]. Are you the only honest person in the Federation? ?Leno''s expression was stiff and he felt a little numb. You say that I am a believer of [Youshu Sect], you have to show proof! William said calmly: "Otherwise, this would be a provocation to the Deep Sea Church!" Huo Xin snorted coldly: "Hmph! Who doesn''t know that you [Netherworld Sect] and the Deep Sea Church have the same origin?" Perhaps, even todays archbishop is a member of the [Netherworld Sect], right? Isnt it that you came to the deep sea to witness the descendants of [Lord of the Deep] with your own eyes? ?William fell silent, his eyes becoming colder. Besides, Renault felt a chill in his heart. He is just a young major, and he doesnt want to know so many secrets. According to common sense, the more someone knows, the more likely he is to be silenced! ?Just when Renault was frightened, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly saw some unusual scenes, and exclaimed. Wait a minute...look, there seems to be something behind this [first-generation species]? Hearing this, William and the two temporarily calmed down the tense atmosphere and turned to look out the window. I saw that in the chaotic and dark sea water, the huge figure of the [First Generation Species] was looming. Its shape is somewhat similar to a giant squid. Under the fusiform torso, there are many flexible tentacles, which are incredibly large. But behind it, there followed a dark and uncertain shadow. The body size of the black shadow is much smaller than that of the [first-generation species], but compared to ordinary people, it still needs to be described as "huge". The shadows launched raids on the [First Generation Species] again and again. ??It seems that every collision will tear a piece of flesh and blood from the [first-generation species]. As for the attack of the black shadow, [the first generation species] also tried their best to resist, but it seemed to be of no avail. Looking at that scene, it was as if they were chasing and hunting this [first-generation species]! ?William and Huo Xing both stared at this scene with their eyes widened in shock. ?That is the [First Generation Seed] among [The Descendants of Yousui]! The deep sea is their home! What kind of existence has the ability to hunt the first-generation descendants of [The Lord of the Deep] in such deep seas? Leno was also shocked and his scalp was numb, and he murmured. "Why does that figure look more and more like...a person?" Those are the limbs, thats the head "people?" ?William shook his head and said as if he was under self-hypnosis: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" That is the power of [Lord of the Underworld] ?Just as Huo Xing said, William is actually a deep believer hidden in the Church of the Deep Sea. Thats why he couldnt accept even more that the [First Generation Species] of [The Lord of the Deep] were being hunted by some kind of being. The other side. ?Housin stared intently at the black shadow behind the [First Generation Species], a strange look flashing in his eyes. ??Whether it is a human or other creature, as long as its information and data can be recorded, it will be of great help to the research of the [Truth Society]. But in the next moment. ??As the undercurrent surged, the glass window in front of the three people suddenly fell into darkness. "Um?" Huo Xing frowned: "What''s going on?" ?He looked at the darkness outside the window, and an indescribable feeling of fear and rejection surged into his heart almost instantly. It is as if a person is unarmed and suddenly encounters a fierce beast on a narrow road, and his instinctive hair stands on end. ?Soon, Huo Xing suddenly discovered that the darkness was not due to a lighting malfunction. Instead There is a corner of a figure blocking the window of the [Qianyuan]. As the figure moved, a huge eye slowly appeared outside the glass. A giant in the deep sea is looking at them through the window! ?In this brief moment, Huo Xing''s eyes almost stared to the limit, and turbulent thoughts roared in his mind. He didn''t know if he felt scared now, and even temporarily lost the ability to judge his own emotions. He could only watch helplessly as this giant stared at him with eyes from the abyss. Incomprehensible noises, unimaginable lights and shadows flooded into Huo Xing''s mind one after another. The more you see and know, the easier it is to go crazy. Youyou are ?Housin''s eyeballs burst open, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes. He wanted to say something else, but William on the side would not give him such a chance. With a "chi" sound, Huo Xing''s head was cut off by William''s sword. ?When William looked at the giant figure outside the glass window, he showed an extremely fanatical expression, and even fell to his knees, uttering some words like babble. Lord, are you finally coming back? Because he felt that this giant also carried the power of the "Lord of the Deep". Obviously, this battle that took place in the deep sea was actually the devouring of each other by the [Heirs of Yousui]. And when they devour other members of the same species, doesn''t it mean... Will [Lord of the Deep] become whole again and wake up from his long sleep? (End of this chapter) Chapter 267 Destroy the truth! Career fit 100! Chapter 267 Destroy the truth! 100% career fit! At this moment. Reno''s brain almost lost the ability to think. The dark sea nearly 10,000 meters away, weird hallucinations that constantly appear and dissipate, the true identities of the two companions revealed, the first generation of [Sirs of Yousui], and... ?Suspected humanoid deep-sea hunter. ?All of this gave him an unprecedented impact. So much so that when Renault saw Huo Xing''s eyes exploded and his head was cut off by Priest William''s sword, he didn''t react immediately. Eh? ??Dr. Hosing, died like this? Even though the smell of blood has spread inside the submersible, Renault still lacks a sense of reality. Even doubted whether this was his hallucination. ?But at this time, the eye outside the glass window had moved away from the three people and looked at the fleeing [Yousui Descendants] again. ?As the light shone back into the glass of the "Qianyuan", both Renault and William felt that the pressure on their bodies suddenly relaxed. This seems to mean that they have passed the most dangerous stage. ?However, immediately afterwards, an even more turbulent change came in this deep sea of ??silence. The Abyss was shaking, and violent shaking came from under its feet, causing the furnishings in the cabin to make a series of clanking sounds. Leno held on to the wall beside him to prevent himself from falling. ?He was surprised and said: "What happened?" ?DiDiDiDiDiDi! ??The rapid sirens were almost in a series, and various instruments lit up with red lights. It seemed like a huge storm was raging outside. Its just that this is the deep sea. There is naturally no storm outside, only the rapid undercurrent. ?? William still maintained some rationality for the time being and murmured: "The confrontation between them has reached a fever pitch." Since both parties carry the power of the [Netherworld Lord], the identity of the prey and the hunter may be reversed at any time. Whoever wins in the end, William will not be surprised. In a trance. ??Some kind of low, depressing strange sound came from the deep sea, as if it was roaring and roaring, fighting against some huge beast trying to devour itself. ??This is a roar originating from the depths of the soul, so Renault and the two heard it very clearly. Suddenly, many thick tentacles stretched out from the rear of the [First Generation Species]. ?Those large and small suckers are covered with countless sharp teeth, which are constantly rubbing and chewing, and making incomprehensible whispers. Immediately, these tentacles blocked the huge figure from all directions, about to tie up his limbs and strangle his neck, like countless giant pythons winding up. ?Just the force of the wrist squeezing is enough to turn a whale into a pulp. Is that giant going to lose? ?Seeing the tentacles that covered the sky and the sun, Renault couldn''t think of any way to resist, and couldn''t help but whisper to himself. ?William looked at the scene outside intently and had similar thoughts. But just the next moment. From all over the body of the giant shadow, one after another deep and dark tentacles were protruded. ?Those tentacles are darker than those of the [First Generation Species], and seem to be composed of purer secret power. ?Two similar but different tentacles collided violently, wrestling, entangled, and biting each other in the sea water. ?This confrontation was extremely tragic and cruel. ??The tentacles were constantly being broken and broken, and the dirty and sticky flesh was scattered in the agitation of the sea water, making the vision of both Renault and Renault extremely cloudy. The already small [Qianyuan] was helplessly drifting with the current, rolling up and down. Giants and sea monsters are fighting to the death in the deep sea far away from human civilization. The two people in the "Qianyuan" are the only spectators of this battle. ?The oscillation of the sea water lasted for an unknown amount of time. ?It seemed like only a second had passed, but it also seemed like a century. Fortunately, the quality of the [Qianyuan] was indeed excellent, so it was not damaged by the aftermath, and the two of them survived. ?Reno shook his head and forced himself to wake up. who won? ?He endured the discomfort and looked out the window. I saw that the surrounding seawater was littered with fragments of flesh and blood. ??The huge shadowy figure still stands there, but the [First Generation Species] has disappeared. The tentacles extending from the giant''s body continuously swallowed up the twisted and rolled flesh and blood, dragging them into the giant''s body and performing a gruesome "digestion." at the same time. ??Reynold and William both felt that some kind of indescribable transformation was taking place in the giant''s body. That is an evolution towards perfection. It also seems to have received some kind of complement, moving from incompleteness to completeness. ?His body became darker and his temperament became more profound, so that his appearance in the eyes of both people changed. ?His smoke-like body surface surged and gave birth to countless tentacles, hands and feet, eyes and mouthpieces. Looking closely, it seems to be just a confused hallucination. You swallowed up the "Yousui descendants" (the first generation species)! Ship Soul Experience +5%! Career compatibility +8%! Talent "Swallowing Evolution" is activated! Comprehensive quality: 9.09.5! Talent: Body of the Deep (Precious) (Epic)! Description: Your body is more adapted to actions in the deep sea, greatly reducing the impact of water pressure. Sea water will also provide you with physical strength and secret power blessings. Skill: Deep Touch (Epic)(Legendary)! Description: Devouring each other is the way for the descendants of Yousui to become complete. They will become stronger and more active during this process, and their bloodline will gradually sublimate. When you devour all the first-generation species, maybe an unexpected transformation will occur, right? Many hints flashed before Xia En''s eyes. ??The surging and vivid secret power is flowing endlessly in his body, and the abundant power fills every corner of his body, and it is even increasing! ? And this time, Xia En clearly felt that his body was transforming bit by bit, as if he was undergoing some kind of leap in life levels. The deep sea environment is no longer an obstacle. The surrounding seawater seemed to welcome his arrival and provide him with a steady stream of support. The connection between those tentacles and Xia En is also becoming closer. Now, he can already control [Deep Touch] like an arm. Not only that, the texture on the surface of [Profound Touch] is also more complete than before. Its like...[Yousui Descendants] some more essential things in the body have been cracked and absorbed by them. After a while. ??The transformation in Xia En''s body gradually calmed down. He clenched his fists, feeling the power in his body that was so full that it was almost overflowing, and he couldn''t help but smile. ?In this month, his strength has grown tremendously. The overall quality has soared directly from 6.1 to the current 9.5! Among them, the new talent [Deep Sea Hunting] plays a great role. He can hunt random prey in the deep sea every day. Sometimes they are huge strange fish, sometimes they are deformed starfish, and giant squids like this one are not uncommon. ?However, Xia En also found that as the number of hunts increased, the depth of the water he was in seemed to be increasing. ?Like this time, we actually encountered a submersible! Its really rare! Speaking of which, I didnt expect that this big squid is actually a [Yousui Descendant]? Xia En was a little surprised. This was the first time he had encountered such an existence in a month. Also, what does the suffix primary species mean? Is it some kind of extraordinary species? ?Xia En thought for a moment, but after getting no result, he stopped thinking about it. ?No matter what, He has been eaten by Himself. ?The taste is quite good. Thinking of this, Xia En licked his lips, and an unspeakable desire arose in his heart. He had a premonition that every time he swallowed a [First Generation Seed] from [Yousui''s Descendants], he would complete a special sublimation. ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart for the time being, Xia En turned his head to look at the submersible floating in the sea. In fact, he had cast a glance at the submersible earlier just out of curiosity. ? Anyone who sees a submersible with lights on in the sea will take a curious look at it, right? Not to mention, Xia En also felt that someone in the submersible was staring at him. Hmm? [Xinglang] logo? ??Xia En''s eyes swept over and found a unique emblem on the corner of the submersible. Is this a Federation submersible? Think about it too. On the Seven Seas, only the Federation has the financial resources and technology to launch such an operation to explore the deep sea. ?Shaan looked in through the glass window and couldn''t help but be a little surprised. There are three people in the diving cabin. A man in military uniform stood there dumbly, as if he had lost his response to the outside world. ?Another priest in robes was kneeling on the ground, muttering something. There was also a headless corpse, twisted and lying in the corner, with blood flowing everywhere. Um? Why are people dead? ??This doesnt seem like a way to die if you are affected by the battle, right? Xia En was quite puzzled. He was busy fighting the [Sir of Yousui] before, so he only took a quick glance and naturally had no idea what was going on inside the [Qianyuan]. Is it possible that the man was deformed due to excessive mental pressure when he was diving into the deep sea and was contaminated by the secret power..." Others had no choice but to execute him for their own safety? Based on the situation in the diving cabin, Xia En came to a very reasonable guess. ?He was completely unaware that the initiator of this situation was actually himself! At this time. Some fragmentary, indistinct whispers came to his ears. The great descendant of Your most humble servant salutes you Hearing this, Xia En was stunned. ?His eyes fell on the man wearing a priest''s robe in the cabin. Combined with the pious and fanatical demeanor, it is not difficult to guess that these words came from the other party''s mouth. Most of them use some secret technique to transmit the words directly into the mind. Its just Descendant of the Deep? The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly: "What does he think of me?" ??This was the first time that Xia En heard someone call him that. But then I thought about it, in this dark and lightless deep sea far away from human civilization, after witnessing the battle between him and the [Sir of Yousui], it is normal to mistake him for some special existence, right? ?However, from the words of the priest, it was not difficult for Xia En to tell that the other party was obviously a believer of the [Netherworld Sect]. Wait a minute, how come there are Netherworld believers in the Federations submersible? Xia En realized something strange belatedly: "Moreover, what he is wearing is clearly the priest''s uniform of the Deep Sea Church, right?" ifier ?Xia En took a breath and realized that things were not simple. Obviously, just like the Hui Sect has left its followers in various sea areas. The Nether Sect is also quietly lurking in various areas of the Federation. ?Perhaps The same is true for [Truth Society]? After all, the Federation is essentially a fairly loose organization and does not impose excessive restrictions on members beliefs. Even the vampires who believe in the Scarlet Lord can have a place in the Federation. There is no reason that [Yusu Sect], [Hui Jiao] and [Truth Society] cannot do it. ?While Shane was thinking about these questions, William''s hoarse voice sounded again. Please let melistento your teachings Teaching? ?Shaan blinked. ?This was the first time he had heard of such a request. ?It is not difficult to guess that this Netherworld believer came to the deep sea with the help of the Federations submersible just to contact the [Netherworld Descendants] here. To admire their true appearance is one thing, and to get some kind of revelation from them is another thing. This is a bit like the process in which the Lord of Radiance sends an oracle to the believers. However, the legendary "Lord of the Underworld" is in a state of eternal sleep, so believers can only get certain information from the "Sirs of the Underworld". ?Now, the giant squid-like [Yousui''s descendant] has been eaten by Xia En. ??The "teaching" that William longs for, isn''t it Xia En''s will? ?Thinking of this, Xia En''s mind suddenly came alive. Previously, he had used the "oracle" to provoke a fight between Huijiao and the Truth Society. ?This time, wouldnt it be possible to drag the [Netherworld Sect] into trouble as well? ?Hence, Xia En responded to William with his thoughts and whispered in his heart. Only the master canreturn A vague sound, like thousands of voices overlapping together, echoed in William''s mind. In an instant, William burst into tears. He finally heard the voice of the descendants of the Lord! This is the supreme gift for a profound believer. And the content of the words shocked him greatly. To eliminate the truth, do you mean to eliminate the [Truth Society]? After destroying them, [Lord of the Deep] can return? ?William knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed to the ground, and murmured ecstatically. I will follow your teachings! The next moment. Xia En''s ship soul power was exhausted, and the huge figure disappeared into the deep sea, as if it had never appeared. Only the "Qianyuan" is floating here alone. It is conceivable that when William returns to the sea, this news will cause an uproar among the [Netherworld Sect]. Xia En was very curious about what happened next, but unfortunately, he could not witness it with his own eyes. And right now, he has more important things to do. Shaan opened the panel. Secret Path Occupation: Devourer of the Deep Career fit: 100%! (End of this chapter) Chapter 268 Changes in [Rhine Secret Realm] Chapter 268 [Changes in the Secret Realm of Rhine] After this [Deep Sea Hunting], Xia En''s compatibility finally reached 100%. This means that he is about to start the fifth level promotion ritual! Even after he finished the [submersible] state and returned to the captain''s cabin, Xia En felt that he could break through at any time, and the faint sound of waves could be heard in his ears. ?However, Xia En did not start the promotion directly, but temporarily suppressed the urge. On the one hand, he still has some trivial matters to deal with. On the other hand, it is the particularity of the fifth-level promotion ritual. During this period, although Xia En was always at sea, he had not been to any island. ??However, with the help of the magical relic [Glory Crystal Mirror], he can learn all kinds of information about the Seven Seas without leaving home. It includes some key points of the fifth-level promotion ritual. After being uprooted by Xia En in the [City of Giant Woods], Mrs. Ji Ya, codenamed "Nuan Xue", treated him with more respect and a hint of awe. Speak everything you know, and speak everything you know. It was from her mouth that Xia En learned- The fifth level is a watershed among those on the secret path. After the fifth level, the Mystic Path can use the power of the domain, and this represents a new level of control over the secret power. Therefore, the promotion rituals of the fifth level often take a form different from those of the previous levels. The content of the trial tasks will also change. Compared with some actual tasks, it focuses more on the test of the control of secret power. Xia En was a little confused when he heard this statement at the time. He didn''t quite understand what "a test of the control of secret power" meant. Fortunately, Mrs. Ji Ya explained: "The fifth-level trial mission may require you to use your secret power to do certain things." For example, it can be divided into hundreds of threads, or it can be condensed into a large net. "If you can''t do it, you won''t be able to get out of the promotion ritual for a while, and it won''t be considered a promotion failure until the secret power is exhausted." Finally, Ji Ya gave a conclusion. Therefore, the fifth-level promotion ritual often takes much longer than the previous levels. It can be as short as a few days, or as long as several months! Some mystics go into seclusion and practice hard just to get through this difficult time. After learning this, Xia En would naturally not rush to start a breakthrough. ?Soon, Shane walked out of the captain''s cabin and gathered the crew together. Compared with a month ago, the mental outlook of all the crew members has changed a lot. After experiencing the deep-sea rush in [City of Giant Woods] last time, even the laziest string song on the ship gave me a sense of urgency in my heart. They all realize that the enemy they will face may be even more powerful than the [Giant Wood God]. Among them, Joey and Feiya have unique bloodlines. After the blood in their bodies is stimulated and transformed, their strength increases at a speed that is actually shocking. Even if you dont practice, you are gradually getting stronger every day. Only compared with Xia En, he seems not so outstanding. ?This month of hard training has allowed them to take a big step forward, and the distance between them and the fourth level has been continuously shortened. What surprised Xia En the most was actually An''s change. As an immortal species like an elf, his advancement in rank should have relied on the accumulation of time. However, the extent of his enhancement actually exceeded that of Joey and Feiya. Obviously, An Zai is getting stronger as Xia En gets stronger. But this magnitude cant help but make Xia En a little suspicious... ?Is this really the effect that [Knight]s secret path should have? ??If you are bound to a servant master, you can follow the other person unlimitedly and become stronger. Then this ability is too buggy, right? ?Shaan guessed that this might be related to other secrets in An. ??As for Vivian, she still looked like a lazy salted fish from before, and she floated to the deck sleepily. Its hard to imagine why a ghost could be so lazy! Obviously she doesnt do anything at all! ?Finally, Xia En''s eyes fell on Yan Yan, who was wearing a black robe on the edge, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Since leaving [City of Giant Woods], Yan Yan has become much more taciturn, and his face no longer has the same sunny smile as before. Sometimes, he seemed to be immersed in his own memories, unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Occasionally, Shane saw struggle and pain in his eyes. Obviously, not all of those past memories are good ones. Its just that Yan Yan can only rely on Yan Yan to overcome and deal with this kind of thing. The help that outsiders can provide is, after all, very limited. ?Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En said to the crew: "In the next period of time, I will go to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for retreat and start the fifth-level promotion ritual." This was a decision he made after careful consideration. First of all, with the protection of the [Moon Ying Tribe] and the Tree Tribe, Xia En''s safety in the [Rhine Secret Realm] is guaranteed. Secondly, due to the existence of [Curse of Filth]. Xia En is on board the Black Swan, and may be attacked by the Apostles of Filth. ?Of course he is not afraid when he is awake, but in the promotion ritual, once it is interrupted, the consequences will be quite serious. Since the [Rhine Secret Realm] is not in this world, it can avoid the prying eyes of the [Filthy Apostles]. Coupled with the abundant vitality in [Rhine Secret Realm], it is suitable as a retreat place for breakthrough. Fifth level promotion ritual! ??Joy exclaimed in a low voice: "So fast!" As expected of Mr. Captain! ?Although the crew members had long known that Xia En was advancing rapidly, they were still secretly amazed by the fact that he was promoted every one or two months. If word spreads, I dont know how many people will be shocked. Even the most talented Mystic in the Seven Seas may not be promoted so fast, right? ?After being surprised, Joey asked again: "Mr. Captain, how long will it take to be in seclusion?" Shaan thought for a while and said, Im not sure either. If everything goes well, maybe I can be promoted in one day. If things dont go well, it might take two or three months. Two or three months ??Joy''s expression changed slightly. She couldn''t imagine life without seeing the captain for two or three months. Xia En continued: "During my retreat, the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] will be left to you." When encountering an enemy, make your own judgment whether to fight or flee based on the situation at that time. If you really encounter a strong enemy that you cannot fight against, you can abandon the ship and escape if necessary. Xia En''s tone was serious: "Keep the green hills here, so you don''t have to worry about running out of firewood." For him, the [Black Swan] is naturally an extremely important partner. But these crew members, are they not his companions? It is not shameful to run away when you know you are outnumbered. No, we will definitely defend the [Black Swan]! ??Joy said with stern eyes: "Mr. Captain, please don''t look down on us." Feiya also nodded: "Captain Xia En, please don''t worry." Even Xian Ge screamed: "The great bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya, will protect this ship!" Xia En nodded: "That''s good." He still had great confidence in his crew. Otherwise, he would not dare to go to the [Rhine Secret Realm] to retreat like this. ?Finally, Xia En looked at Yan Yan in the corner and said, "Yan Yan, come here, I have something to say to you." Yan Yan was startled, but quickly followed him. The two of them walked to the captain''s cabin. Xia En closed the door, turned around and said, "Yan Yan, after I retreat, you will be the strongest person on the Black Swan." In some cases, you need to make the final decision. Yan Yan''s eyes changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Captain Xia En, you should be able to tell that during this period, I have thought of many past memories." Perhaps, I will become someone I dont even recognize myself. Is it really okay to hand over the [Black Swan] to me? Xia En looked into Yan Yans eyes and said softly. I just want to ask you one question. Do you still think of me as your captain? Yan Yan said without hesitation: "Of course!" Thats enough. Xia En said calmly: "As for your past, although I am a little curious, it is your private matter after all." If you are willing to share with me, I will be a listening ear. If you dont want to say it, thats okay. After saying that, Xia En smiled and patted Yan Yan on the shoulder. Okay, in the next few days, you will be the acting captain of the [Black Swan]. Dont let me down. Immediately, without any hesitation, Xia En directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and opened the door to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. As the silver light gradually dissipated. ?The brief dizziness quickly faded away, and the fresh and natural air entered the nasal cavity. Xia Ens feet stepped on the solid soil, and what he saw was mostly vibrant green. But in this emerald green, there are also many other colors. In fact, compared with when we left [Sand Island], the scene in [Rhine Secret Realm] is completely new! After the [Moon Yong Clan] and the tree people migrated into this secret realm one after another, they began to build their new home in full swing. Even in the outer areas, there are still tribal-style habitat camps, which are primitive and backward. But in the central area, the prototype of a city appeared! ?More than a month ago, the Yongyue tribe discovered a special kind of gray-white stone in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. It is like gold and iron, but does not rust, and is very suitable as a building material. ?This kind of stone even contains a lot of secret power and can be used to draw magic patterns. ?Shaan compared the stones in the Seven Seas and found that none could match it. ?Hence, Shane simply named it [Rhinestone]. Without Xia Ens orders, the [Moon Yong Clan] showed their own initiative and used rhinestones to build cities. During this process, Xia En provided some technical support and used the knowledge of Seven Seas to plan the city. ??The tree people who moved in later served as free labor, excavating stones from the mines and transporting them. I have to say. After the tree people gradually regained their strength, they were indeed said to be extremely powerful, hard-working and hard-working. ??This is not a war machine, it is simply a holy body made of earth and wood! It is really easy to use for infrastructure construction. ?In addition, on the edge of the urban outline, there are farmlands that have just been reclaimed. A variety of crops are grown there, including grain and fruits. The young shoots were sprouting with vitality not long after they were pulled out of the soil. Xia En still retains some of the habits of the Chinese people in his previous life, and he has a good impression of farming. In addition, the [Yongyue Clan] did have food needs, so they opened up such a production area. In the future, he also plans to expand the scale of planting and plant some magic potions containing secret powers. In another corner of the city, there is a newly built college. ?Of course, this college is still very sloppy and rough. It is so small that it can only be described as a "school", and there are even fewer children attending it. ??However, Xia En believes that this is the top priority of [Rhine Secret Realm]. ?Although the number of the Moon Ying clan is still very small now, it will definitely continue to grow in the future, and perhaps other races will come to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Education is the way to get them out of ignorance. ?Perhaps, in the future, the [Moon Yong Clan] will also be able to give birth to strong men in secret professions such as scholars and mages. Shane is looking forward to that day. Having said that, Xia En was a little surprised that after such a long time of development. The exploration degree of [Rhine Secret Realm] is only 8%! You can imagine the vastness of this secret realm. Lord Xia En! ?Suddenly, some members of the Yongyue clan saw Xia En''s appearance and exclaimed with joy. Its Lord Xia En whos here! Many young men from the Yongyue tribe gathered around him happily, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration. ?Every Yongyue tribesman knows that it was Xia En who took them out of that desolate land and allowed them to live in this new home. Lord Xia En, as the divine son in the prophecy, is also their great benefactor! This kind of kindness can only be repaid by generations of repayment. Lord Holy Son! Sha Jingjing saw Xia En from a distance and trotted over excitedly, with a joyful smile on her face. ?For some reason, Xia En remembered the scene when his dog rushed up to greet him when he returned home. Lord Holy Son, you are here. Sha Jingjing''s tail swung behind her like an electric fan, her ears stood up high, and she looked at Xia En eagerly, as if to say, "Touch me, touch me, touch me quickly!" ?Xia En couldn''t hold it back for a moment and stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head. Challenge of not picking up the dog when you go home! In less than a second, it ended in failure. Woo woo Sha Jingjing purred comfortably from her throat, making the Yongyue clan members next to her envious. Master Xia Ens technique is so skillful, you will definitely feel comfortable! While dusting Jingjing, Xia En noticed that there were some blood stains on her body that did not belong to her, as if she had just experienced a battle. The hunting team following Sha Jingjing arrived at Xia En''s side. Some of them were carrying the corpses of some strange creatures. Obviously, this is a native creature in [Rhineland]. Sha Jingjing pointed at one of them and said to Xia En, "Lord Shengzi, this is the prey I caught. I will bake it for you later!" Looking at her expression, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. When I first met Sha Jingjing, I thought she was quite aloof. How come... she has become like this now? With emotion, Xia En did not forget the purpose of his trip and said directly. Sha Jingjing, find me a safe place, I have important things to do. (End of this chapter) Chapter 269 Fifth level promotion ritual! Chapter 269 Fifth-level promotion ritual! After a while. Sha Jingjing took Xia En to a big tree that was seven or eight meters high. The trunk of this big tree is dark red, and if you look closely, it has a translucent texture. ?Fibers like blood vessels grow under the bark of the tree, and there seems to be thick blood flowing slowly through them, which looks extremely mysterious. ??There is also an indescribable pleasant smell that spreads around the big tree. ?This big tree is the [Crimson Ancient Tree] planted in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. ?Under the abundant vitality of the [Rhine Secret Realm], even without watering blood and using corpses as nutrients, the growth of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is extremely gratifying. Although it is still far from its heyday, it also shows its uniqueness compared to other tree species. At this time, the branches and leaves of the big tree swayed slightly, as if to welcome Xia En''s arrival. ??Xia En touched the trunk of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and sighed: "I haven''t seen you for just a few days, and you have grown so big." From under the tree trunk, there was a vague feeling of kindness. Crimson Ancient Treehas its own spiritual existence. Although it may not be able to communicate normally like the ship spirit of [Black Swan]. But simply conveying emotions can still be done. This is it. Sha Jingjing pointed to a small house under the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and said to Xia En. This area has been regarded as our familys new holy land. Lord Holy Son, you can rest assured to practice in seclusion here, we will protect your safety! Sha Jingjing showed a resolute expression like a "loyal dog guarding the hospital" and vowed. Whoever wants to hurt you must step over my body first! Xia En looked around the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and found that a new altar had been built here, which was somewhat similar to the ancestor altar of the [Yongyue Clan]. Several totem poles moved from [Island of Sand] stood around the altar. Obviously, even after arriving in their new homeland, the [Yongyue Clan] did not give up their beliefs and traditions. Thats right, you can also see the moon at night in [Rhine Secret Realm]. This time, Xia En was quite surprised. He didnt pay attention to this problem at first, but after discovering the existence of the moon, he realized... Not only the moon, but also the sun in [Rhine Secret Realm] is the same as the Seven Seas. It''s just that their rotation trajectories and rules are slightly different. But in the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm], this was not the case. ?This seems to illustrate the special nature of [Rhine Secret Realm] in disguise. Thinking further, Xia En couldn''t help but have a question. In what form do the sun, moon and stars in the sky exist on the sky? Xia En originally thought that the celestial bodies in this world were the same as those in his previous life. They were spherical planets, rotating according to their own laws and suspended in the vast universe. But if this is the case, why can we see the same sun and moon in the [Rhine Secret Realm]? The more you know, the more you understand your ignorance. Xia En vaguely sensed that there might be secrets about the world hidden behind this. ?However, this is obviously not the time to explore these secrets. Xia En calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart, and after saying a few words to Sha Jingjing, he walked into the small house under the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. The furnishings in the hut are very simple, with only a wooden bed. Xia En didn''t take it seriously either. He sat on the bed and concentrated, feeling the rhythm of the secret power in his body. Gradually, invisible waves washed away from the underworld. The sound of fine water flow and cascading waves fill the surroundings, bringing a strangely quiet atmosphere. This is an invitation from the [Secret Sea]. Shane chose to accept it happily. The next moment. The illusory sea water surged up and enveloped him gently. His senses were withdrawn from this body, and he continued to fall into the deep sea... Darkness. The surroundings were pure and absolute darkness. There is not even a shred of light. Instead of saying "darkness", perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as "emptiness". It was in this void that Xia Ens consciousness woke up. Hmm? This is... ?Perceiving the darkness around him, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little confused. He could feel almost nothing except this [emptiness]. Sight, hearing, touch, smell... all seem to be stripped away by some invisible force, and even one''s own sense of existence is gradually becoming weaker. ?This experience was the first time for Xia Endu. Soon, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xia Ens mind, and he suddenly woke up. This is...the fifth level promotion trial? Its actually like this. Even though Xia En knew the special characteristics of the fifth-level promotion ritual in advance, the current situation still exceeded his expectations. ?This trial mission is no longer as specific as "escape from this sea" or "find the traitor", but to explore independently in this "empty" space. At least give me some hints! ?Xia En twitched the corner of his mouth and complained secretly. What should I do? ?His current feeling is like playing those games with extremely poor guidance. He is completely confused and doesnt even know what his goal is. Fortunately, Xia En''s temperament is much calmer and tougher than ordinary people. Soon he calmed down and secretly realized his current state. ?Xia En couldn''t help but be surprised by this experience. Because, at this time, he no longer even has a human body, and all that is left is a highly solidified secret power! ?No wonder he has lost all five senses including smell. How can a body of secret power possess these sensory abilities? Subsequently, Xia En''s consciousness explored outwards and came across an invisible barrier, which was the darkness and void he had previously felt. This piece of "nothingness" is like a cage, sealing him in it. Xia En had a clear understanding in his heart: "The key to this promotion trial is to break through the cage made of [emptiness]." ?Mingwu is Mingwu, but Xia En is still deep in thought as to how to do it. According to Jiya, the fifth level trial focuses more on the control of secret power. Then lets try first to see if we can break the situation violently. ?Shaan thought for a moment and started to make his first attempt. He directly activated his secret power, like a surging wave, and launched an impact on the cage of [emptiness]. ! ??A muffled sound suddenly came from Xia En''s consciousness. ?The wave of secret power shattered instantly, but the barrier of [emptiness] remained firm and motionless. Xia En''s body at this time was already composed of secret power. Under the huge impact, extremely severe pain immediately spread from all parts of his body, as if he had been smashed into pieces. ifier ?This kind of pain is simply unbearable. Even with Xia En''s willpower, he almost fainted from the pain. ?However, after coming back to his senses, Xia En was not surprised but happy. In the ferocious impact just now, he could already feel the barrier of [Nothingness] wavering slightly. This method may work! Xia En said to himself: "But it hurts so much..." Since there was a possibility of this road being passed, Xia En simply took his time and waited until the pain subsided. Then he once again mobilized all his secret power and crashed against the barrier.?????Hmm! Even though he was prepared, the pain at the moment of impact still made Xia En''s consciousness groan. NothingnessThe barrier swayed slightly again. ??Moreover, I dont know if its Xia Ens illusion, but in the process of being crushed and reorganized, his secret power seems to be becoming more solid and tough. Some kind of invisible transformation is happening faintly. When the pain had almost dissipated, Xia En regrouped and launched another attack. ?Just like this, Xia En was immersed in breaking through the barrier of [emptiness], forgetting the passage of time. I dont know how much time has passed. ?Xia En only felt that he was a little numb from the pain. ?The body composed of secret power is like a ball of thick iron. Impurities are removed through "forging" again and again, and it becomes refined and solid. Click! After an unknown number of impacts, Xia En suddenly heard an invisible crisp sound. This slight sound fell into Xia En''s heart, and it was like the sound of nature! I saw a crack appearing from the [emptiness] barrier, and it had a tendency to expand. ?Xia En felt ecstatic in his heart. It can be the next moment. ??A dark wave suddenly surged through this crack. The cracks that just appeared are quickly repaired and healed under the action of the waves, becoming as new as ever. It was as if everything Xia En had done before was in vain. F*ck ?Perceiving this, Xia En couldn''t help but spit out a vulgar word. ?However, this is not over yet. ?The pitch-black wave rushed straight towards the body with secret power, and the cold chill suddenly penetrated, seeming to be consuming his secret power. Xia En was in a serious mood and compressed his secret power into a ball to resist the erosion of this wave. After a moment, the dark wave disappeared, as if it had never appeared. Even so, part of the secret power was still consumed by the waves. This discovery gave Xia En an ominous premonition. In this closed space, the total amount of his secret power is actually limited. ??Every impact will consume a little bit of secret power, and coupled with the washing of this weird wave, it will undoubtedly increase Xia En''s burden. When the secret power is completely consumed, it means that the promotion has failed. Shaan obviously cannot accept this result. And right now, the worst part is ?This ability to recover from the dark wave most likely means that his approach of forcibly breaking through the barrier of [emptiness] will not work! ?Just hitting a crack cost him a lot of time. ??If every time you break through the barrier, you will be baptized by a wave of darkness, and you will have to start over every time. Xia En''s total amount of secret power cannot support such consumption. The road to a frontal breakthrough is dead, so what else can we do? Xia En fell into thinking. Soon, he came up with a bold idea. The barrier formed by [emptiness] is like a security door. ?Forcibly breaking down the door is of course one way, but shouldn''t the more correct approach be to enter the door''s password? That is to say. As long as the barrier of [Nothingness] thinks that he is one of his own kind, wouldn''t he be able to pass through this gate? ?Hence, Xia En calmed down, began to sense the state of the cage of [Nothingness], and used the domain of [Great Dark Sky]. As the realm expanded, the two secret powers soon came into contact. It''s just that it''s different from the previous collision. ?This time, Xia En chose to imitate [Nothingness]. Not long after, the two secret powers had a tendency to assimilate. ?Although the feeling of rejection still exists, it is not as strong as it was at the beginning. ?This discovery immediately cheered up Xia En. Theres a chance! ?Xia En''s thoughts were up and down, and he thought about many things clearly in an instant. It is obviously wrong to blindly imitate, otherwise you will only be assimilated and swallowed up by this darkness. ??If it really becomes a state of [nothingness], Xia En''s own consciousness may be wiped out in the process. Only by dyeing this cage with your own color while making contact is the real way to break the situation! Both parties influence and assimilate each other. In the end, lets see whether Xia Ens [Great Dark Sky] has assimilated this piece of [nihility], or whether this piece of [nihility] has completely swallowed him up. ?This promotion trial is essentially a battle in the field. The ability to control the secret power determines the outcome of this invisible battle. ?However, this is destined to be a long process. Just when Xia En Anxin made a breakthrough. The situation on the Seven Seas has undergone tremendous changes. ?Honestly speaking, these changes are inseparably linked to Xia En. ??Xia Ens oracle passed down in the [Glory Crystal Mirror] caused the Hui Sect to officially launch a war against the [Truth Society]. This is a real war, and there is no room for turning around. The place where the dispute first broke out was the Federal Research Institute on Liuli Island. A group of top scientific researchers were directly attacked by the [Glow Guards] and were violently kidnapped and killed. In retaliation, several hidden churches of the Hui Sect were also directly bloodbathed by the [Truth Society]. And this is only the beginning of the chaos. Because, the [Netherworld Sect], which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly became powerful at this time. After receiving the hint from [The Descendants of Yousui] (Xia En), they also decisively launched a sneak attack on the [Truth Society]. Who doesnt like beating up a drowned dog? Several ships belonging to the [Truth Society] were inexplicably pulled into the deep sea and suffered heavy losses. There are also many scholars from the [Truth Society] who have suffered invisible curses. To this day, at least hundreds of islands within the Federation have been affected by the conflict between the three major forces. There were even more than ten small islands that were directly sunk by the means of the powerful three parties. ?Most civilians in the Federation have no idea why these three major forces are fighting. Even these names are quite unfamiliar to ordinary people. ?It was only during this war that people realized that such a powerful and strange organization still existed in the Seven Seas. Among them, the most intriguing thing is actually the official attitude of the federal government. The institute was attacked, and federal officials should have directly launched a wanted order against Hui Jiao. ?But the Federation has strangely remained silent, neither helping the [Truth Society], nor the [Hui Sect] and [The Nether Sect]. There is a vague meaning of sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight. This kind of chaos continued until one day. A small ship from the Far North sailed into the Federation''s harbor, and it also brought shocking news. (End of this chapter) Chapter 270 The second prophecy of destruction! Chapter 270 The second prophecy of destruction! Liu Li Island ??After these days of overt and covert competition between the three major forces, the brightest star on the "Star Wave" flag of the Seven Seas Federation is like a pearl covered in dust, and the atmosphere is tense and depressing. The air is filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder smoke. ?No one knows whether the dispute will break out again. Pedestrians walking on the road look in a hurry, especially when night is approaching, and they dare not stay on the street. ?The island that used to be bustling and noisy has actually become a bit desolate and deserted. In the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island]. A major in military uniform put down the documents in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and put his hand on his forehead to relieve fatigue. The conference table in front of him turned into a huge desk, filled with various official documents and files. ?During this period of time, the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island] has almost been working at overload. The disappearance of scholars at the institute, the massacre in a church, the serial murders in the city... Let alone the investigation of these incidents, their aftermath work alone is extremely cumbersome and heavy. Before these days, members of the Public Security Bureau never imagined that they would be so busy. ?This is [Liu Li Island]! One of the most prosperous islands in the Federation. Who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to commit such major crimes on this island. It can be said that the workload of members of the Public Security Bureau these days is more than their workload in the past three years combined! At this time, a captain pushed the door open and came in, delivering another stack of documents and saying with a gloomy face. [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] A businessman died suddenly at home. He was suspected to have suffered a mental breakdown. His family members asked us to find the real culprit as soon as possible. Again?! Hearing this, the Public Security Bureau employees in the office suddenly let out a wail. The major couldn''t help complaining: "I''ve had enough of this day!" I just cant figure it out. Why dont the higher-ups simply declare war on the Nalaoshizi [Truth Society], [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect]? "We must just swallow our anger and let them run wild in our territory." His words could not help but arouse the resonance of many colleagues in the room. Yeah, yeah, lets just put all these heretics on wanted list. Lets see if they still dare to disobey federal laws! As official soldiers of the Federation, they have always had a strong sense of belonging and identification with the Federation. In other words, they have a sense of arrogance in their hearts. In fact, soldiers do have pride. ? No matter what, the Federation is now the most extensive and powerful force on the Seven Seas. In terms of overall strength, these three major forces combined may not be able to compete with the Federation. Because of this, people in the Public Security Bureau cannot understand why the big shots above have kept silent about the recent chaos. When it comes to war, is the Federation afraid of anyone? Just when many people in the Public Security Bureau were filled with indignation. ?A middle-aged man with gray hair coughed twice and sighed softly: "You guys, your vision is still too shallow." Hearing this, the room suddenly became silent. ??If an ordinary person said this, he would probably get scolded, but the middle-aged man who spoke was not an ordinary person. ?This man''s name is Cameron, he is a veteran of the Public Security Bureau, with at least 40 years of experience, and he is considered a highly respected senior. His words are quite authoritative within the Public Security Bureau. The major who complained earlier was young and energetic after all, so he couldn''t help but ask: "Why did the senior say this?" Dont you think that the Federation is no match for these three secret sects? ?Secret sects such as [The Nether Sect] have always been collectively referred to as "secret sects" in the Federation. Of course not. Cameron shook his head: "Our federation is spread across the seven seas, and its overall strength is certainly not comparable to that of the three secret sects." But the vast scope of our influence is both our advantage and our disadvantage. If we really start a war with these three secret sects, they can completely avoid the large federal forces, break up into parts, fight guerrillas with us, and frequently attack remote islands to attack the sea areas where we have weak defenses. This time, more civilians will be involved in this dispute. ?Thinking of that possibility, the major couldn''t help but turn pale and frown deeply. Of course, in the end, it will be our federation that wins the final victory. Cameron continued: Its just that the price to pay is destined to be extremely heavy. Now, the three major esoteric sects seem to be very powerful, but they actually maintain considerable restraint and do not take the initiative to provoke us. ??The major was puzzled: "But the attack on the Federal Research Institute..." int Cameron sneered: "Although the Federal Research Institute is nominally an industry of our federation, in recent years, their independence and confidentiality have become increasingly higher." Even our Public Security Bureau cant conduct an in-depth investigation. I suspect that the Federal Research Institute has actually deteriorated! ?These words caused a small uproar among the people. ?Cameron went on to make a shocking statement: Quite a few of these scholars have turned into lunatics chasing truth. Huijiaos move actually helped the federation purge members of the [Truth Society] from the institute. The deaths of several colleagues before were also related to their esoteric identities. Everyone''s expressions changed slightly, and they thought seriously about the authenticity of his words. The members of the Secret Cult are really hidden too deeply, and they have already taken root in every corner of the federation. ?Cameron looked at the major and sneered: "Actually, don''t say institute." Believe it or not, right now, within our Public Security Bureau, there are also believers who quietly believe in the Lord of Glory, Holy Lord of the Deep or Truth. When he said this, his cloudy eyes swept across the crowd, causing many people to look unnatural. A few people even lowered their heads, not daring to look at them. The major''s expression became even more ugly. ?However, Cameron did not expose the identities of these people, but laughed. It doesnt matter, belief is free. Federal laws do not stipulate which religious denominations are prohibited. Its just that if you are like this, how can you talk about the big shots in the federation? Perhaps they are also believers of a certain sect? "If a war really breaks out, can the faction they belong to really devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle against the Secret Cult? Even if it can, can other factions really believe in them?" Hearing this, the major fell silent completely. ?Just imagining that situation made him feel sweaty and stressed. So, sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and watching the three major esoteric sects consume each others combat power is the best choice at the moment. ?Camerons eyes flashed with the wisdom of an older man, and he spoke with sincerity. Besides, how do you know that the federation really hasnt taken any measures at all? After saying these words, the scene that had been full of excitement before became almost silent. Just as Cameron said, they did take it too lightly! The major showed a look of shame on his face and bowed seriously. Senior Cameron, you have learned a lesson. ?Cameron waved his hand: "It''s just a bit of experience." How this struggle will develop from now on is anyones guess. Just when the members of the Public Security Bureau returned to their respective posts with their own concerns. ?The door to the room was suddenly pushed open in a hurry. A soldier rushed in in a panic and reported: "The port...the port, a small warship suddenly appeared!" Cameron suddenly frowned: "Warship? Appeared suddenly? At this time..." Due to the recent troubles caused by the three major esoteric sects, [Liuli Island] closed the port for a time and implemented a strict port closure strategy to prevent people with evil intentions from taking the opportunity to sneak into and escape the island. So, the appearance of such a warship is undoubtedly very unusual. ??The soldier took a breath and continued: "The warship seems to have been teleported to the port with the help of some kind of spatial coordinates." Spatial coordinates, etc., could it be... ?Cameron suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed. He didn''t even leave a single explanation, he hurried out the door and rushed towards the port. ?Seeing this, the major also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately brought a few good men with him to follow in the footsteps of senior Cameron. It didnt take long. ?Cameron and his party hurried to the port. The soldiers guarding the port have surrounded the unknown warship. There were several pastors from the Deep Sea Church praying in the crowd. Goddess above, may you protect us. ?The priest lowered his head and prayed devoutly to the goddess: "Please bear witness..." Incense and holy oil have been lit to surround the warship in a special ritual. In fact, this is the safest way to deal with an unknown ship. ?Those ships returning from the depths of the sea are often contaminated by some mysterious force without even knowing it. Rush contact is a sign of irresponsibility for the lives of soldiers and even the safety of [Liuli Island]. Soon, a solid black gas appeared in the incense, which lingered for a long time. This made the priests look even more serious. ?This kind of black gas is proof that this warship has encountered strong pollution. ?At this time, Cameron was still walking quickly in the direction of the warship. The soldiers immediately stopped in front of him and said politely. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, this warship is severely contaminated and must be decontaminated before contact can be made. ?Cameron stayed as calm as possible and said: "Just let me see the logo of this warship, just take a look." I carry the amulet of the Deep Sea Church on my body, so I still have the ability to resist this pollution. This matter may determine the future of the Federation! Ah this Hearing Cameron describe the situation so seriously, the soldiers couldn''t help but hesitate. They just handled the incident based on past experience, but they did not expect that Cameron would take it so seriously. Get out of the way, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron is not the kind of person to be alarmist. A priest said: "But before that, please let me cast a patron saint spell on you." After applying magic, illusory waves surged around Cameron. ?Cameron nodded to the priest, then walked through the crowd and came to the edge of the port. ??This warship is slightly petite in size. It is suspected to be a destroyer or frigate. The iron-gray painting on the ship has a tough and direct military style. However, the situation of this ship is obviously not very good. There are eye-catching cracks all over the hull, as well as some terrible wounds that look like they have been gnawed by some giant beast. A thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the hull, struggling to maintain the integrity of the entire ship. Looking from a distance, there seemed to be some traces of blood on the deck. The moment he saw the appearance of the warship clearly, Cameron''s face turned pale, as if he had aged dozens of years rapidly, and he whispered in a mournful voice. It is indeed [Private Number] [Private Number]!? ??The major who was following Cameron at a distance heard this whisper, and his expression suddenly changed. You mean, [King]s frigate, [Private]? A few months ago, the "King" and its frigates launched an exploration operation to the Far North. At the moment, only the [Private] has returned to the port of [Liu Li Island] with the help of teleported coordinates. This incident itself explains a lot of information. I wont admit my mistake. Cameron murmured: "I served on the [King] for five years, how could I mistake the appearance of a frigate?" But, [King]...what exactly happened? Colonel Gold, where are you now? At this time, a long pedal extended from the side of the "Private" and landed on the ground of the port. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, please be careful! The priest behind him immediately gave Cameron an early warning. We have previously made a call request to this warship, but no one responded. The crew on that ship may have turned into irrational monsters. Before the priest finished speaking, a strange figure appeared from the pedal. ?The figure barely maintained a human appearance, wearing a military uniform, but no matter how you looked at it, it revealed a strong inhumanity. A strong smell of blasphemy lingers on its body. Shuish, swipe, swipe! Seeing that figure, the soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at each other. Stop! Otherwise we will shoot! Out of concern for the safety of [Liu Li Island], they could not allow this weird being to land on the island. But the figure seemed not to have heard the soldiers'' warning and continued walking towards the shore. Tick tocktick tock ?People can even smell a rotten stench. Just when the soldiers were about to shoot, Cameron jumped up, jumped on the pedal, and walked towards the opponent. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron! Everyone was shocked. No one knew what the consequences would be if they came into close contact with this kind of pollutant. But Cameron did it anyway. He walked up to the figure and stared at him quietly. ??The face of this weird figure has been distorted, the eyes are hollow and lifeless, and the flesh and blood has the texture of mud, as if dripping downward little by little, and it looks extremely weird. Is this Mr. Cameron...? A hoarse question came from under the opponent''s military hat. ?Camerons tone was slightly sad: Its me. Greatthe captain said "If it were... Mr. Cameron... he would definitely believe me..." ?The strange figure said with difficulty: "We...all died there..." The King and Captain Gold...are trapped..." [Private Number]asking for help ?Suddenly, its tone suddenly became extremely high-pitched, as if it was crying or wailing, and said: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..., the prophecy of world destruction, the prophecy is true!" Flood! The great flood is coming again! As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly collapsed like mud. (End of this chapter) Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the three religions Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the three religions After making these shocking remarks, the strong obsession that kept this soldier persisting until now finally dissipated. ?This body could no longer maintain a stable structure and melted like a wax statue, turning into a puddle of dark red viscous sludge. From this mud, biological tissues such as teeth, blood vessels, eyeballs, and half-melted internal organs can be vaguely seen. ?As Cameron stared at it, it was still expanding and contracting slightly, and making a hoarse and low sound from a certain part of its structure. Weall died there ?It kept repeating this sentence, like raving after falling into a frenzy, which made those who heard it feel creepy. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron! Please stay away from it as soon as possible! On the shore, the deep-sea priests issued another warning and looked at Cameron with worried eyes. Even though the contact was only for a few seconds, the lieutenant colonel was at risk of contamination. This time, Cameron did not insist on having his own way. Instead, he took off his military hat, saluted solemnly to the mud, and whispered to himself. Your sacrifice is far from meaningless. May your souls find rest in the deep sea. Soon, Cameron cooperated and returned to the port. ??It''s just that at this time, the soldiers and priests kept a safe distance from him and did not approach rashly. This is the correct procedure for service members who have been exposed to contaminants. After this, Cameron will be transferred to the church and undergo isolation observation and a series of mental evaluations. Cameron had already anticipated this. But right now, what is more important is to inform the big people who can really decide the fate of the Federation with the information brought back by the "Private". So, Cameron said to the priest: "Please give me a pen and paper. I have important military information to report." The next day. After applying all aspects of "divine purification" and making sufficient preparations. Members of the Public Security Bureau began a formal exploration of the "Private". When they stepped onto the deck of the Private, the scene on the ship shocked everyone. There is no one alive on this dilapidated warship. All that is left is a dark, silt-like substance. ?They are scattered all over the deck, mast, and cabins of the "Private". They are layered in layers and covered in every corner, crawling slowly and strangely. ?This kind of mud is alive! ?This discovery makes everyone who sets foot on the "Private" feel a little scared. ?Among these mud-like things, you can occasionally see one or two humanoid monsters with swollen and deformed bodies that do not look like soldiers at all. ?After the soldiers untied the clothes of the humanoid monsters, they discovered that their flesh and blood seemed to be "growing" together with the clothes. ?There are also large and small, incomprehensible wounds on his body. In some cabins, there is still a little white fibrous moisture, which looks like unformed neural structures. ?After the investigation, the pastor of the Deep Sea Church came to an incredible inference ?This filthy sludge is none other than the crew of the "Private"! They encountered some unimaginable and terrifying enemy, and ended up taking this ugly, filthy form. Some fragments of clothing and identity plates found in the mud also prove this point. No one knows what the crew of the Private went through before they died. But just from the remaining emotions in the mud, we can also get a glimpse of the cruel truth. The investigation of the "Private" alarmed the soldiers and priests. ??Above the Seven Seas, what existence is there that dares to attack the warships of the Federation Navy? ??Moreover, in this cruel way of killing the entire crew and leaving no body intact? How can this not make them angry? The strange thing is that after the members of the Public Security Bureau handed over the investigation report. ?Far from starting an investigation immediately, the superiors issued a gag order to all those involved in the incident, prohibiting them from spreading relevant information. Key figures in the investigation, such as Lieutenant Colonel Cameron and the leader Storm Priest, even suffered confinement. Speaking of "isolation", it actually means putting them under house arrest. In fact, it is not difficult to understand why the federation did this. The return of the "Private" is related to the "King" that was sent out to perform a secret mission a few days ago. The information about the "Second Great Flood" and "Prophecy of Doom" obviously cannot be widely disseminated in the Federation, otherwise it will cause great panic. A certain degree of information blockade is naturally necessary. However, it was beyond everyones expectations. On the third day after the "Private" returned to Hong Kong, rumors about the "second world-destroying flood" spread like wildfire on the "Liu Li Island". No one knows where the news first came from. But by the time federal officials found out, the situation was already out of control. People knew about the return of the "Private" and the trap of the "King". Even the soldiers last words were known to the people. ?This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Federation. After all, that is the [King]! It can be said that it is a warship that embodies the latest and most advanced technology of the Federation. Among the warships currently in service, there are only a few large ships with a tonnage exceeding the "King". Even the "King" sank in this operation, which in itself showed the seriousness of the matter. As the central island of the Federation, information and intelligence spread so fast on [Liu Li Island]. In less than half a day, the spread of rumors was unstoppable. It was like a bomb was dropped on the Seven Seas. For a time, people who knew the news couldn''t help but panic, and rumors spread. Compared to this big news, the confrontation between the three major forces some time ago seems to be just a small matter. A tiny secret place that few people know about. In the chaotic space, three powerful consciousnesses descended one after another. The first thing that comes is an existence that seems to be composed of codes, numbers and graphics. They seem to flash rapidly in the form of some kind of matrix, seemingly irregular but also seem to contain some kind of "reason", emitting a cold, rational glimmer. After arriving first, this consciousness remained silent, as if waiting for something. Soon, a dazzling light came. His arrival seemed to illuminate this strange space, bringing light and heat that could not be ignored. What finally appeared was a deep and deep darkness. ?Just staring at him was like staring into the deep sea with a depth of tens of thousands of meters. It''s like...being stared at by some being under the deep sea. Very good, everyone seems to be here. ?The will that exuded a glimmer of reason was the first to speak: "I think you all know the prophecy of the ''second world-destroying flood''." In this case, will you continue to fight against me [the Truth Society]? It was the important figures of each of the three major forces who brought their consciousness to this secret realm. Under normal circumstances, this negotiation would not have occurred at all, and the three major forces would just fight each other until they could no longer fight. However, the spread of this prophecy caused the attitudes of the three parties to waver a little. Although the metaphors of gods are very important, it is undeniable that not all believers are unscrupulous madmen. They live in this world after all, and there is no way they can just watch this world being flooded again. ?The attitude has been softened, but the hatred has been forged and cannot be easily resolved. represents the will of [Hui Jiao] and snorted coldly. Perhaps this prophecy was leaked by people from you [Truth Society], right? What a great idea. Do you want to take this opportunity to take a breather? The light group of [Truth Society] denied: "I don''t know what you are talking about." Besides, compared with the losses, its not easy for both of you, right? If we continue to fight, will you be able to hold on? ?At this moment, the black shadow of the [Netherworld Sect] who had previously remained silent suddenly spoke sadly. Then, you might as well give it a try. Lets see who cant hold on first. ?His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of madness. Hearing this, the representative of the [Truth Society] cursed secretly in his heart. These crazy people who believe in the ancient gods! Compared to the [Hui Sect], during this period, the [Truth Society] was more troubled by the attacks from the [Youshu Sect]. No matter what, the [Billions of Glory Sect] is an orthodox religion from the previous era, and its behavior is relatively upright and upright. But [Youshu Sect] is different. ?This secret sect that believes in the ancient gods of the deep sea is itself composed of a group of guys who are polluted by the deep sea. There are even some outright lunatics among them. ?Methods such as cursing, poisoning, and contamination are even more readily available, causing great trouble to the [Truth Society]. ?Furthermore, what depresses the members of the [Truth Society] the most is that they have no idea how they got into trouble with the Nether Sect. ?It was obvious that they deliberately avoided each other on weekdays. In fact, the [Truth Society] also felt extremely helpless regarding [Huijiao]s reason for declaring war. Its actually an oracle from [Lord of Radiance]! ?This cant help but make some members of the [Truth Society] wonder whether the outside **** is aware of some of their research. Only then will the oracle come. Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, the [Truth Society] representative softened his attitude and said. Continuing to fight like this will not be beneficial to all three of us. Since no one wants to see the second great flood coming, lets do this. Each of the three parties will send a group of people to the far north to investigate the whole story of this incident. The representative of [Truth Society] paused and continued. At the same time, its also a competition. Which side plays the greatest role in preventing the flood from coming, will be the ultimate winner. The loser needs to tell the other two parties the real names and identities of the fifty core members of their respective sects. In this world, the true name itself has a special effect. For forces like the [Truth Society], [Hui Jiao] and [Yu Sui Sect], knowing the true name is equivalent to controlling the life and death of those people. The list of these fifty people can determine the final outcome of the three parties to a large extent. It is worth mentioning. The words of [Truth Society] made [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] also become targets of competition. This is obviously a naked conspiracy. [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] have different beliefs, which is an irresolvable contradiction in itself. One is an alien **** outside this world. The other is an ancient **** who sleeps in the deep sea. Neither would mind using this list to weaken the other if given the chance. After a brief hesitation, the consciousness of the great priest of [Hui Jiao] responded. "Can." Then, during the period of competition, we shall have a temporary truce. A hoarse voice also came from the dark shadow of [Youshu Religion]: "In this case, we will swear an oath to the three gods under the witness of the secret sea." Not long after, the three parties swore an oath together after agreeing on it. The oath is fulfilled. The representatives of the [Truth Society] could not help but breathe a little sigh of relief. These days, the [Truth Society] has been at war with two parties at the same time, and the pressure it has received is naturally extremely high. The most critical thing is that the plan they have been preparing for has been delayed and delayed due to this inexplicable war, and the progress has stalled. The reason why the [Truth Society] wants to have temporary peace talks may not be without the intention of delaying time. The reason why [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] chose to have a truce is because... During this period, the price they paid was also quite heavy. Only after the actual war, the two esoteric sects realized that the [Truth Society] actually hid such a powerful force. ??Those scholars who work in the Federal Research Institute and researchers hidden in various islands may not be very strong in frontal combat, but they always have many weird methods that are difficult to prevent and unpredictable. ?According to some captured members of the [Truth Society], a "truth network" has been established between them using special relics to communicate. The speed of dissemination of knowledge and technology has reached an unprecedented peak with the blessing of this "truth network". It also gave members of the two major esoteric sects a deep understanding of the power of science and technology. ?As the losses intensified, some voices of opposition emerged within both [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect]. Especially during this period, the [Black Light] never appeared in the [Glory Crystal Mirror] again. Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the "oracle". Even Archbishop Musa was a little suspicious. Some people in the [Yousui Sect] feel that what Priest William heard in the ten thousand-meter deep sea may not be the teachings of the [Yousui Descendants]. ??It could also be that he was hallucinating. Or maybe, its not [Yousuis descendant] at all. In short, for one reason or another, the two esoteric sects cannot be as resolute as before the war. ?This is why the secret peace talks came about. at the same time. On the vast sea. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] were traveling in tandem. ?At this moment, a ship with sails decorated with jet-black flames was speeding towards the [Black Swan]. (End of this chapter) Chapter 272 【Salary King】 Chapter 272 [Salary King] This speeding ship has an obvious old-era style. Like a warship sailing from a previous era. The severely damaged paint on the hull and the outdated bow structure seem to be silently telling the vicissitudes of life it has experienced. ?Hung above the mottled and rusted deck, a flag with a black streamer pattern hangs. Dang! clang! clang! ??The urgent and nervous alarm bell sounded on the [Black Swan], causing all the crew members to step onto the deck one after another. ??Joy took the lead in discovering the menacing old warship and issued a warning. ?During Xia En''s retreat, Joey was not idle, and successfully broke through to the fourth level after difficult training. Now she can even sense the reaction of secret power in a sea area. That''s when I noticed the arrival of the strange ship for the first time. Whats the origin of that ship? Feiya boarded the deck and stared at the old warship with her beautiful eyes, her expression quite serious. Is it coming for us? ?Nowadays, the [Black Swan] is not the unknown boat it once was. ? Judging from the appearance alone, the [Black Swan] is already considered a big guy in the ship, like a giant beast crawling on the sea, which may open its terrifying mouth and launch an attack at any time. ?Those gleaming main guns and the dark and thick horns are not easy to mess with at first glance. Not to mention, as time goes by, the news that [City of Giant Trees] was uprooted gradually fermented in [Sea of ??Annihilation]. It adds a layer of mystery to [Black Swan]. Enough to make ordinary ships frightened. Not to mention being an enemy, even ships that dare to approach it are very rare. Even during Xia En''s retreat, Joey and other crew members cleaned up several pirate ships they encountered, purifying the sea environment and maintaining navigation order. ??It would be okay if this strange-looking warship didn''t recognize them. ??If the Black Swan is recognized, it will charge forward without hesitation. ?Things became more troublesome. ??Joy frowned and said, "I have never heard of a ship flying such a flag." Furthermore, looking at its style, it doesnt look like an official federal warship. Xian Ge looked at the pattern that looked like black flowing fire and murmured. I seem to have seen this kind of warship somewhere. It is...the symbol of a certain countrys navy. ?Looking at the ship that was getting closer and closer, Joey said with a slightly anxious tone: "Don''t worry about its origin." How should we deal with it now? Should we just shoot it? To be honest, Joey was a little undecided. ??If it is a pirate ship, she will definitely fire before the opponent reaches a safe distance. But now, the enemy and the enemy of this warship are unknown, and its intentions are unclear, so Joey doesn''t know what to do. In fact, not only Joey, but also other crew members have similar feelings. In the past, when Sean was on the ship, they didn''t have to think about this kind of problem at all. They only had to obey the captain''s orders. ?But when this kind of decision-making power really falls on themselves, everyone discovers that making the decision itself sometimes requires enough courage and wisdom. ?At times like this, the crew members cant help but have an idea ??????????????????????????????????????? ?However, hesitation was hesitation. Under the approach of the unknown warship, the crew was forced to make a decision. After thinking about it, Fei Ya said: "Let''s shout first. If the other side still insists on having its own way and insists on getting close to us, we will start a war directly!" ?Joy nodded and said, "Just do it." But at this moment. It doesnt have to be so troublesome. A deep voice sounded from the cabin. ?Everyone looked towards the direction from which the sound came. ??The extremely tall Yan Yan, wearing a black robe, stepped onto the deck. His appearance had not changed at all. He was still masculine and handsome, and he was familiar to the crew. ?However, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer looked like a friendly and sunny boy next door, but suddenly became distant and majestic, carrying an unspeakable majesty. It is a temperament belonging to a superior person, as if he has the power of life and death. It is also like the spirit of a king who has opened up a kingdom. ?The overwhelming momentum almost choked everyone''s breath. Even the black robe, like a cloak or a cloak, rustled in the sea breeze and was majestic. Yan Yan is still standing on the deck of the [Black Swan]. ?But at this moment, the crew felt that he seemed to be standing extremely far away from them. ??Can no longer be touched. Yan Yan ??Joy quickly realized something and said in a daze: "What do you mean by this?" At this moment, an unknown warship not far away suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami! ?Someone knelt down on the deck and shouted out the name that had been buried in his heart for a long time. ?Some people cried wildly, as if the grievances of the past were finally resolved. ?Some people are so excited that they cant help themselves, as if they are crazy. Their cheers finally converged into one voice. Salary King! Salary King! Hearing this name, Joey and others were also shocked. ??Joy murmured in disbelief: "Did I hear it correctly? They were shouting... Wang Xin''s name?" But King Xin, hasnt it already been... ?Suddenly, Joey suddenly woke up and turned to look at Yan Yan. Is this ship coming for you? Yan Yan did not speak, but the aura about him said everything. Yan Yan is the salary king? Even Fei Ya, who has become much calmer and calmer, still feels extremely ridiculous in her heart: "How could such a thing happen?" Hearing this, An''s body also trembled slightly, and his expression under the armor was shocked. Its no wonder the crew reacted this way. As the last powerful king in the old era, King Xins name has always been widely spread across the Seven Seas. Coupled with the constant excavation of the "Xinwang Treasure" and various documentary records in the underwater ruins, Xinwang''s reputation has not diminished, but is actually increasing day by day. It can be said that this salary king is a legend among legends and a king among kings! ?Just the fact that Xia En had come into contact with the [Xinwang Treasure] made the crew members very amazed. How could they dare to imagine that King Xin was not only alive, but also lived with them on a ship for such a long time? on the other hand. ?Joy and others also noticed Yan Yans extraordinary qualities very early. ?The kind of flame that can even ignite sea water and solid ice, the seemingly endless regeneration ability, and the characteristics of immortality... all reflect his specialness. However, Yan Yans character shown in the past was too harmless to humans and animals. ?Like a big golden retriever who is only willing to help others, he is too kind and naive. So, everyone knows that Yan Yans true strength is extraordinary, and even Xia En may not be his opponent. But deep down, it is still difficult to see him as a superior and strong man. Even Xian Ge can bully him occasionally. ?However, precisely because of Yan Yans character, he is equivalent to a group favorite on the [Black Swan]. We dont say it in words, but in fact, in terms of life, we always take good care of Yan Yan. ??Joy would save the biggest pieces of fish for him while cooking. An would invite him to exercise with him using the Knights Breathing Technique. When Fei Ya was repairing the steam device on the ship, he would also call Yan Yan to let him feel the baptism of the sacred steam. Even Xian Ge likes to take Yan Yan with him to hunt in the sea. Now, suddenly someone said to the crew ?Yan Yan, whom they regarded as their companion, turned out to be the legendary King Xin! The shock among the crew members can be imagined. At this time, Xian Ge finally found some useful information from his memory and exclaimed. I remembered, that ship is the [Black Flame]! Great Yan Kingdom, [Black Flame Walker]s ship, it actually still exists on the seven seas! ?These terms are quite unfamiliar to Joey and others, but it is not difficult to guess that they must have some deep connection with King Xin. Yan Yan turned his head, glanced at Xian Ge, and said softly. "It seems that there are more memories sealed in your mind than I expected." His eyes were no longer as pure and clean as before, but seemed to have a lot of chaotic impurities added to them. It was like there was a dark flame burning blazingly in the depths of his eyes. It seems that the flame will not be completely extinguished until he himself is burned up. Facing the Yan Yan at this time, Xian Ge, who had always been fearless of heaven and earth, felt some inexplicable fear in his heart. Even so, Xiange still opened her eyes wide and mustered up the courage to ask. Yan Yan, are you leaving [Black Swan]? Can you please stop leaving? I wont steal your barbecue next time. Hearing this, Yan Yans eyes softened a little. But soon, his expression became determined again, and he said seriously: "Actually, I also want to stay on the [Black Swan] and fight alongside you." You dont have to think so much, and you dont have to carry such a heavy past. But, I still have a mission that I must complete! "And if I continue on the [Black Swan], it will only drag you into it." So, I have a reason to leave. Hearing these words, the crew fell silent. Yan Yan has said so, is there really any point in forcing him to stay? At this time. ?The warship with the black flowing fire symbol has already arrived beside the [Black Swan]. ?Many crew members wearing black robes knelt down towards Yan Yan. The entire crew of [Black Flame] welcomes the return of King Xin! The faces of these crew members were all filled with enthusiasm and joy. They were once the [Black Flame Walkers] of the Great Yan Kingdom. They used a special method to survive the great flood and have continued to this day. During this period, the [Black Flame Walkers] experienced many hardships, some of which were even more painful than ordinary people could imagine. But the moment he saw the king, all his efforts in the past seemed to have meaning. ?Seeing this scene, Fei Ya and others suddenly understood. ??Yan Yan is not only carrying his past. It is also the trust and persistence of all those who support others. ?Such trust is both a boost and a shackle, forcing Yan Yan to continue on this path. ??Yan Yan turned around, faced the people of [Black Flame], and said calmly. Yes, Im back. "I will continue our unfinished business and let a spark ignite the seven seas." After saying that, his black robe lit up with an unquenchable flame, wrapping the whole person like flowing water, turning into a blazing flame giant, confronting the entire sea. Such a sight undoubtedly made the [Black Flame Walkers] feel ecstatic again. ?Their king is back! The burning flames and scorching temperature proved that this was not their illusion, but something that actually happened! Another burst of cheers echoed throughout the sea area. Its just that when the crew of the Black Swan looked at the man in the flames, they all pursed their lips and looked indifferent, feeling extremely strange. Because, that is not the Yan Yan they are familiar with. But the King of Fire who was reborn in the flames! If they had a choice, the crew members might hope that Yan Yan would always look pure and clean. King, what should we do with these people? At this time, a [Black Flame Walker] looked at the people on the boat and whispered. They obviously didnt treat you with the respect you deserved as punishment "shut up." ?The flame giant glanced at this man, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the soul. He said in the most severe tone: "They are my companions." It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future. All [Black Flame Walkers] need to be as respectful as they are to me when they see this ship and its crew. ?Although people were a little surprised by Yan Yan''s attitude, no one would disobey his wishes. The [Black Flame Walkers] responded in unison. Yes, my king! ?After giving this order, Yan Yan took another deep look at the [Black Swan], as if he wanted to imprint the ship and the people on it in his eyes. At this time. From a corner of the ship, a translucent figure suddenly floated out. Haso sleepy Vivian yawned, as if she hadn''t woken up yet. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the flame giant in front of her, and murmured in a low voice. Why have you grown so big? Its so scary. Seeing her appearance, Yan Yan''s expression changed slightly. In fact, in the past few days after recovering his memory, Yan Yan conducted detailed observations on the crew members of the [Black Swan]. But two of the crew members still gave him a feeling that he couldn''t see through it. One is the Bronze Dragon String Song. The second one is this ghost lady Vivian. ??The former, as an extinct ancient dragon on the Seven Seas, hides countless secrets. ?But even King Xin couldnt figure out why a ghost that should have dissipated long ago eluded him. Captain Shane had guessed that you might leave before, so he specifically asked me to leave you a few words. Vivian said casually: "You don''t have to take it too seriously, just listen casually." Yan Yan was slightly startled: "Captain, what did he say?" Vivian recounted in Shane''s tone: "He said, no matter you are King Salary or some other big shot, in his eyes, you will always be the big boy he met on the ice and snow island." As long as you want to come back, there will always be a place for you on the Black Swan. The mountains are high and the road is far, and the days ahead are long. Friends, take care! (End of this chapter) Chapter 273 Break through the fifth level! Hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker! 】 Chapter 273 Breaking through the fifth level! Hidden profession[Secret Sea Walker! See you again in Jianghu Yan Yan chewed these words silently, with a soft smile on his face. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he first met Xia En. ?Subsequently, Yan Yan opened his palms, and a butterfly condensed from flames gracefully fell down and landed on the Black Swan. ??The moment the butterfly came into contact with the deck, it turned into a strange mark. ??The butterfly pattern inside is still changing slightly, as if it is breathing. In the blink of an eye, the butterfly mark blended into the hull of the Black Swan and quickly disappeared. I originally thought that this separation would be an eternal farewell. Yan Yan said: "But now that I think about it, that would be too lonely." This brand contains part of my power, but it will also reconnect our destiny. Perhaps it will bring you a lot of trouble in the future. ?According to Yan Yans original idea, he would cut off contact with the [Black Swan] and no longer have any contact with him. Because with the comeback of "King Xin", there are bound to be forces from all sides who want to know about his situation, and even various enemies will come to visit him. The isolated [Black Swan] is undoubtedly an excellent entry point. To put it bluntly, compared with King Xins former enemies, [Black Swan]s current strength is still too weak. Just the aftermath of this major incident was enough to leave [Black Swan] covered in bruises. It is a wise decision to keep distance and never see each other again. ?Even Yan Yan originally planned to use some special secret technique to cut off the thread of fate between the two parties, so that other forces would not be aware of the existence of the [Black Swan]. But after hearing Xia Ens message, Yan Yan changed his mind. He doesnt want to cut off this bond and memory. ?Even though he didnt know whether such a decision was right or wrong. Yan Yan looked at everyone on the boat and said, "Please convey a few words to Captain Xia En." Until now, I still regard myself as the crew of the [Black Swan], and Mr. Shane is still my captain. The destination of my trip is the far north. Perhaps we will meet again there! After saying that, Yan Yan waved his hand, stopped staying, turned around and stepped onto the deck of the [Black Flame]. Soon, the towering bow of the [Black Flame] split the waves, the fluttering flag danced in the air, and then sailed into the distance. Everyone on board the Black Swan felt as if they were lost. ?No matter what, Yan Yan left after all. Moreover, I dont know when we will meet again. The future is always uncertain. It''s like no one expected that Yan Yan would leave today. ?This inevitably makes people feel a little depressed, as if there is a dark cloud hanging over the "Black Swan". It would be nice if Mr. Captain was here ?Joy murmured to himself in a low voice, expressing the thoughts of the crew. Mr. Captain, how long until we can come back? In a dark, void space. ?Xia En''s "body" curled up into a ball, his consciousness was hazy, and he was half asleep and half awake. Compared to the beginning of the promotion ritual, he has become countless times weaker. Whether it is the total amount or quality of the secret power, it is consumed in this space to an extremely weak point. The worst part is. Xia En''s consciousness was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning. ?In the process of trying to use [Great Dark Sky] to assimilate the barrier of [Nothingness], his thinking is also being assimilated by [Nothingness]. The meaning of "emptiness" is nothing, nothing exists. Senses, memory, emotions, thoughts ?These human characteristics seem to be constantly being stripped away from Xia En. ?At a certain moment, Xia En even felt like he had become nothingness itself. ??There seems to be nothing wrong with just sinking completely into this darkness? But in the bottom of Xia En''s heart, there was always a voice reminding him. You must wake up! Your ship, your crew, are waiting for you! Your name is Shane, and you are a man destined to conquer the sea! ? Such self-hypnosis barely allowed Xia En to maintain his final rationality. Time passed by so silently. Until a certain moment. ?Xia Ens secret power seemed to have finally touched the frequency of this [emptiness] and triggered an unprecedented resonance. C ?Amid the violent vibrations, the barrier formed by [emptiness] began to disintegrate silently, and the resistance gradually dissipated. In fact, this barrier still exists. ?However, it has become a part of Xia Ens body and is no longer an obstacle. It was as if a whole new world had opened its door to Shane. Immediately afterwards, countless phantoms suddenly emerged from the boundless darkness, and chaotic fragments of light and shadow swept over like a storm, filling his mind. ??And amid this crazy fragment of information, scenes flashed through Xia Ens mind In the endless darkness of the deep sea, some kind of huge and terrifying body is slowly growing and growing. ? ?Ancient and chilling eyes look at the city-state from the deep sea. It is an indescribable ancient god, indifferently scanning the world. In the distant sky, an unimaginably huge ball of light emits dazzling light all the time, illuminating the world. One after another, the gods whose faces cannot be seen clearly were born in ignorance and lived in indescribable forms. The ancient dragon roared among the mountains. Elves dance in the forest. ?Countless races rise and fall, grow and die. This process, accelerated tens of thousands of times, seems spectacular and strange. However, as the perspective continues to zoom. Xia En saw that the place where all this happened was just a huge light bubble with a halo of light. Beyond this bubble of light is the deep and boundless deep sea. ?Countless similar light bubbles, like stars, are scattered throughout the deep sea. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was greatly shocked, and huge waves were set off in his mind. He understood many things instantly. ?There is no doubt that this deep sea with countless stars is the [Secret Sea] that he has explored! ?In peoples conventional understanding, the [Secret Sea] is a part of this world. It is not only the source of power for many mystical practitioners, but also hides many mysterious [Secret Realms] and gods. Based on what Xia En saw, it was not difficult for him to come to the conclusion In fact, the world Nanami lives in is just a larger bubble of light in the "Secret Sea". Compared with those [secret realms], there is no essential difference! They think that their grand and great history, the changes of races and the evolution of civilization are just a story that happened in a bubble of light. It is conceivable what kind of terrible shock it would cause if this truth were spread across the Seven Seas. As a time traveler, Xia En inevitably thought of more. Since this world is a bubble of light in the [Secret Sea]. ?So in other light bubbles, are there civilizations that are not inferior to the [Seven Seas World]? ??The [Earth World] where Xia En once lived, was it also a member of the light bubble? Even if this was just some speculation, Xia En''s mood was shaken and he could not calm down for a long time. At this time. ?Shane suddenly felt a certain "attention." ?It was not like a gaze, or any kind of will with a clear origin. He felt as if he was being stared at by time itself. ?Something that is older than history, bigger than the city-state, and even seems to come from the deepest part of this [secret sea]... is watching me. ?There is no emotion in that "gazing", no malice or goodwill. He just watched. ?Like a cold, empty shell, staring at an uninvited guest who came into this place ignorantly, and said indifferently You are here. Boom! ! There was a loud noise in Xia En''s consciousness, and the remaining rationality collapsed and reorganized. The darkness seemed to begin to recede on all sides. Some invisible things that slowly squirmed and deformed in the darkness seemed to be gradually condensing and transforming into entities. They look like dry tree branches, bridging and converging with each other in nothingness, connecting those star-like light spots and traces together, vaguely possessing some special pattern. Is this...the connection between different [secret realms]? Xia En''s consciousness gradually became clearer and he thought: "And the will just now is the [Secret Sea Will] mentioned by Augustine?" Emotionless, machine-like, and empty shell. ?That "gaze" really meets the description of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. ??However, Xia En couldn''t tell what these indescribable tree-like things represented. Suddenly, the sound of waves sounded in Sean''s ears. ?This is not an imaginary movement in consciousness, but a real sound. This also means that the five senses have returned to Xia En. ?At the same time, it means that he successfully completed this promotion ritual! Xia En''s consciousness suddenly felt down to earth, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly rose in his heart. After suffering for such a long time, the pain is finally over! Soon, the wave from the [Secret Sea] descended on him. Under the wash of the vast and full secret power, several prompts appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Complete the trial mission: Break through the world barrier! The promotion ritual is over! Hidden Hidden Path Occupation: Secret Sea Walker (Level 5)! ?Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. ??The promotion ritual is over before I tell him the specific content of the trial mission. This is too confusing! Furthermore, the barrier of [nothingness] that he broke through before was actually a "world barrier?" But if you think about it carefully. ?Combined with the name of the profession [Secret Sea Walker], he must have the ability to break through the world''s barriers before he can truly walk in the [Secret Sea]. Of course, Xia En actually adopted a tricky method, adjusting his secret power to a frequency similar to that of the barrier, and passed through the barrier. Its no wonder that the forced breakthrough method doesnt work. ?That is a barrier to a world, and it is obviously not what Xia En can do now. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! Comprehensive quality: 9.512! Unlock the exclusive talent of "Secret Sea Walker": Hidden Traces!

Remember, do not use these eyes to look at things you shouldn''t look at. Every time you explore a different "secret realm", your career compatibility can be slightly improved. Career fit: 0% These two talents ??Xia En looked at these descriptions carefully, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little subtle. First of all, the strength of these two talents is absolutely online. The former directly gave Xia En a powerful BUFF, making him immune to curses and other secret spells. To be honest, Xia En is often not very afraid of frontal combat. You can still run away if you really can''t beat him. ?But curses are hard to guard against, especially as the rank increases, the curses mastered by the Mystic become more and more weird and dangerous. Especially an organization like the [Truth Society], which obviously has the ability to locate locations, divination and other means. ?Just like last time, [Thousand Changes] Jia Xiu found the [Black Swan] inexplicably and almost caused a catastrophe. It is obviously necessary to make some preparations in advance. ??Moreover, what is really important about this talent is probably its secondary effect. It allows Xia En to avoid many dangers when walking in the [Secret Sea]. ?Xia Enke has not forgotten that when he first explored the [Secret Sea], he bumped into an incredibly huge creature. As for [Eye of Peeping Secrets] ??The description of this talent made Xia En a little confused. What does it mean to think about the [Secret Sea]? ?Xia En couldn''t help but think of those weird branches, and suddenly realized something - ?That kind of thing may not actually exist. What he saw was probably just a thought that flashed through [The Will of the Secret Sea] at a certain moment. And this idea was strongly reflected here, and it turned into a huge structure in his eyes. Think about it again. ?Those tree branches connect many light points together. Perhaps it means that there is a special connection in these [secret realms]. For example, a certain [secret realm] is separated from another [secret realm]. For another example, a certain [secret realm] is inhabited by humans who have migrated from other [secret realms]. ? With this talent, Xia En can filter out the [Secret Realms] related to the [Seven Seas World] from the endless light spots. It can greatly reduce the time wasted exploring invalid [secret areas]. ?? is also a very practical talent. ??The only thing that dissatisfied Xia En is... These two talents are the ability to assist the exploration of the [Secret Sea] and do not intuitively improve the actual combat power. (End of this chapter) Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and retur Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and returns to [Black Swan]! Rhine Secret Realm Under a large tree with dark red leaves and lush branches. The invisible wave of mysterious power is rushing nearby, slowly spreading outward like a tidal wave. ?No matter flowers, trees, trees or rocks, nothing can stop it. Under the influence of this mysterious power, the growth rate of [Crimson Ancient Tree] seems to have accelerated a little. The crimson leaves swayed gently under the tide of secret power, looking very magical. Looking at this scene, Sha Jingjing next to the altar was full of amazement and said softly. As expected of the Holy Son, the news of promotion is getting louder and louder. ?Beside Sha Jingjing, there were several boys and girls from the [Yongyue Tribe]. They all sat around the altar, quietly comprehending this strange secret power, and practicing through it. Sha Jingjing turned her head and said to them seriously: "We are all blessed by the Holy Son, so we can have such an opportunity. We must cherish it and be grateful." Not long after Xia En entered the promotion ritual, a strange secret power began to emerge around the altar. Sha Jingjing, who was responsible for guarding this place, soon discovered that this secret power was of great benefit to her body, and the previous bottleneck showed signs of loosening. So, Sha Jingjing selected a group of talented people from the [Yongyue Clan] to practice beside the altar. As expected, after this period of subtle influence, the strength of these tribesmen has improved in different ways. Someone''s body has been strengthened. Some people have a more delicate grasp of the secret power. ?Hearing Sha Jingjings words, a young man from the Yongyue Tribe looked at Xia Ens retreat hut with admiration and sighed. My lord, the Holy Son, is truly amazing. Just the aftermath of the promotion has benefited us a lot. The other girl looked worried: "But...is it too long for the Holy Son to be promoted?" Is it really okay? Her thoughts were very simple. It took so long for Lord Shengzi to be promoted this time, but he didn''t eat. Is there really no problem with his body? Hearing this, Sha Jingjing couldn''t help but frown slightly. To be honest, she has always been a little worried in her heart. She knows more than the average tribesman. She knows that Xia Ens promotion ritual is special and extremely difficult, otherwise he would not have come to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for seclusion. However, out of trust in Xia En, Sha Jingjing still chose to believe and wait. At this time. Another young man from the Yongyue clan exclaimed in a low voice: "Look! Under the sacred tree..." Hearing his call, everyones eyes immediately looked below the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. I saw that the previously invisible tide of secret power was suddenly dyed with a faint black color. ?This darkness expanded outwards in an instant, and soon blackened the entire tide. ?The [Rhine Secret Realm], which was still sunny just now, instantly became extremely dark. Immediately, not only the [Crimson Ancient Tree], but also the space where many Yongyue tribe members were located was shrouded in darkness. At this moment, its like night has fallen! Facing such a vision, the boys and girls couldn''t help but become speechless. Even Sha Jingjing couldn''t say a word. Shortly afterwards, this pitch black windless land automatically created ripples, and a little light appeared in the middle and slowly rose up. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like countless stars spread across the vast night sky. Large and small light bubbles are formed and destroyed in the deep darkness. Sometimes it turns into light spots, sometimes it turns into light marks. Everything seems bizarre, but at the same time it is full of wonderful laws. ?Sha Jingjing and others are still standing on the land of [Rhine Secret Realm], but they seem to have crossed the barriers of the world and can see the true appearance of [Secret Sea]. How can such a scene not shake people''s minds and shock them incomprehensibly? In fact, for them, witnessing this kind of scene in advance will be of great benefit to them on the secret road in the future, and they can avoid many detours. When you are promoted, it will also become particularly smooth because you have sensed the breath of the [Secret Sea]. ?However, at this time, everyone in the Yongyue Clan had no time to care about this kind of thing. ? Their whole bodies and minds were attracted by the vision in front of them and could not extricate themselves. followed by. ? There were waves beginning to surge in the darkness, one wave higher than the other, like the deep sea before a storm. Suddenly there was a roar. The violent secret power escaping all around seems to have begun to collapse after expanding to the extreme! At the center of the secret power, a huge whirlpool appeared, and the center of the whirlpool was bottomless. Endless secret power surged toward the center of the vortex, pouring like a waterfall, enough to push an ordinary fifth-level mystic to death. Among them, the nearest [Crimson Ancient Tree] also received part of the secret power. ??The whole tree has grown taller visibly to the naked eye, and the crown of the tree has become denser and more prosperous. Seeing this, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized something and shouted: "Hurry up and absorb this secret power, as much as you can!" Having said that, Sha Jingjing took the lead and sat down, trying her best to absorb the secret power around her. The total amount of this secret power is too huge. Even during the absorption process of Xia En, a considerable part will escape. And this part of the secret power is the opportunity for the people of the Yongyue tribe! In the hut, Xia En''s eyes were closed tightly, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and he could faintly hear the pulse like ancient war drums. All the secret power pouring down from all around penetrated his body and poured into his chest. There, there is an invisible whirlpool spinning. At the center of this vortex is the deepest darkness, which seems to be able to swallow everything. ?While the vortex was turning, the mysterious power all over Xia En''s body was also undergoing a miraculous transformation. This is a level of sublimation. From ordinary secret power, it has become a secret power that is closer to the depths of the [Secret Sea], purer and more original. Wait until the deep darkness fades away like a tide and the violent tide of secret power subsides. ?Shaan slowly opened his eyes and found that the hut next to him no longer existed, leaving only a puddle of powder. Obviously, under the violent rush of secret power just now, this small house was overwhelmed and was directly crushed into powder. ??Similarly torn into pieces were the clothes on Xia En''s body. He calmly took out the clothes from the space ring and started to put them on. But this movement made Xia En feel very uncomfortable. After sleeping for many days, his body was like a rusty machine, and even the simplest movements were a bit jerky. ?However, after a little movement, Xia En immediately discovered that there was volcanic power lurking in every cell of his body, and it would explode at the slightest thought. He used a little more strength and tore his clothes to pieces. In desperation, Xia En had to carefully take out another one and slowly put it on his body. ?After getting dressed with some difficulty, Xia En looked at himself and found that his body had become more perfect after being promoted. ? Streamlined muscle lines, straight back, and even the facial features have undergone subtle adjustments and become more beautiful. ?The entire body has no flaws at all, like a work of art. In addition, what surprised Xia En even more was the change in the secret power in his body. His secret power, both in total quantity and degree of purity, is several times greater than before. Very simple reason. When performing the same secret technique, the more pure the secret power, the greater the power it exerts. Not only that, during the long process of breaking through the barrier of [nothingness], Xia En has been adjusting the state of the secret power, gradually changing its nature. After the promotion ritual ended, his secret power was completely sublimated and he achieved transformation. In fact, the secret power of each Mystic Pathfinder has its own characteristics. For example, the secret power of [Warrior]''s secret path is difficult to use to cast spells. The secret power of fire attribute is difficult to produce ice attribute attack. ?However, at this time, Xia En''s secret power seems to be able to evolve into any kind of secret power, adapting to different types of secret techniques! It can be said that this secret power is close to the origin of the secret power! Its level is so high that it is extremely rare in the Seven Seas. Because it is pure, it is powerful. It seems that this is the biggest benefit after being promoted to the fifth level. Xia Ens eyes were bright and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Although the hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker] obtained, it does not directly provide skills for combat. But the sublimation of this secret power alone has raised his combat effectiveness to a higher level. ??If Xia En used [Great Dark Sky] now, he could hardly imagine how powerful it would be. I have to say. ??This promotion ritual can be called the most dangerous one among Xia En''s several promotions. ??The other promotions were extremely difficult compared to other Mystic Pathfinders, but with Xia En''s strength at the time, he basically had a way to deal with them. But this time, the physical fitness and combat power that Xia En always relied on were almost useless. You can only rely on a little bit of exploration and experimentation. The long persistence in the endless darkness continued to wear away his will. At the most dangerous moment, Xia En really almost lost himself in the void. ?Xia En has reason to suspect that other Mystics have failed in promotion and may have another chance. ?And if he fails, the only thing that will greet him is complete death. ?However, the difficulty of advancing to the ritual is high, and the reward can be said to be extremely generous. This kind of secret power is close to the [emptiness] barrier that I touched before, but it doesnt really reach that level. Just call it...[Secret Power of the Void]. ??Xia En casually gave this secret power a name, quickly opened his stance, and performed the [Knight Strengthening Method] in the open space to adapt to his upgraded body as soon as possible. After completing four or five sets of movements, Xia En finally felt that he had roughly mastered his body. He then transformed into a blood sword and repeatedly practiced basic sword skills. Nearly an hour later, he was fully adapted. Not far away, Sha Jingjing waited patiently for Xia Ens movements to stop, and then stepped forward respectfully. Lord Holy Son Xia En turned around and looked at Sha Jingjing with her ears erect and her tail wagging. She suddenly felt like she was in another world. But, for some reason, the moment she saw him, Sha Jingjing tucked her tail between her legs and her body was still trembling slightly. Xia En asked curiously: "Huh? Sha Jingjing, what''s wrong with you?" Sha Jingjing shivered and said honestly: "No, it''s nothing." "The current Lord Holy Son is a bit scary..." ?In her eyes, Xia En was filled with a strong sense of oppression, like a giant beast in the deep sea, which made her instinctively uneasy. Like the reaction of wild animals when they encounter those stronger predators. ?Especially looking at those dark and deep eyes, it gave her the feeling of looking directly into the abyss. Obviously, this is because Xia En has just broken through and his aura has not yet completely converged. ?Xia En tried hard to control the breath around him and asked. How long have I been promoted? Sha Jingjing replied: Its been nearly a month. Its been a month? ?Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy. This time is actually about the same as he expected, but in this month, a lot of things can happen. ?Perhaps something happened on the Black Swan. ?Hence, Xia En no longer hesitated, and after bidding farewell to Sha Jingjing, activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the silver light door. After the light dissipates. Xia En returned to the [Black Swan]. Looking at the familiar layout in the captain''s cabin, Xia En suddenly felt at ease, as if he had returned home. In fact, isnt [Black Swan] already his home? Soon, a long whistle sounded on its own. Everyone on the ship felt the vibration and joy of the ship. It was like the cheers of thousands of people, and it was like the whole ship came to life and became active and vivid. ?Thats the [Black Swan] welcoming its captain! With a "bang", the door to the captain''s cabin was pushed open. ??Joy rushed in first and rushed over to hug Xia En. Mr. Captain, you are finally back! The girl''s eyes were filled with tears of joy. Xia En is always on the boat, so she doesn''t feel much. But this time when Shane broke through the retreat, Joey realized the irreplaceable importance of the captain. ?Obviously it was only a month since she last saw him, but to her, it felt like a century. ?Shaan rubbed Joeys little head and was a little surprised to find ?Joy, it seems he has grown up a bit. Not only the height has increased, but also certain parts of the body have undergone some changes. Probably from the Xiao Long Bao in the South to... the Xiao Long Bao in the North? This was a judgment that Xia En made subconsciously when they hugged each other. It was just an accident. ?But just think about it. ?Judging from the days of the Siren''s blood transformation, Joey is obviously still in the developmental stage, and it is natural for him to continue to grow up. Wow, its Mr. Captain! Xian Ge''s excited voice sounded outside the door: "Hiss... Why does it feel like Captain Xia En has become so much stronger!" This breath is like a [secret sea]. Fei Ya grabbed the back of Xian Ge''s neck, as if holding a big cat, to prevent it from rushing into the captain''s cabin. "Please calm down, didn''t you see Joey making out with the captain?" Huh? Make out? Xiange asked confusedly: "What does that mean?" Hearing this, Joey stood up with a red face and said to the door: "You all come in." ?Not long after, all the crew members came to Xia En, and even the lazy salted fish ghost Vivian floated in. ?Seeing that they were safe and sound, Xia En couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, Xia En noticed that one crew member was missing. He frowned slightly and asked. Where is Yan Yan? (End of this chapter) Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-enter th Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-entering the [Land of Glory] Where is Yan Yan? ?Hearing Xia En''s question, the crew couldn''t help but fell silent, and the atmosphere became slightly gloomy. The joy of meeting the captain just now seemed to be diluted by this. Looking at their expressions, Xia En roughly guessed what happened, so he sighed. Did he really leave after all? Finally, it was Joey who spoke: "The thing is like this..." ??As Joey told it, Xia En quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little complicated. YanyanXinwang Although Xia En had already made guesses from some clues in the past. ??But when he heard this information with his own ears, he was still in a trance. ?The last king of the last era, the founder of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the Xinwang Treasure who left the [Xinwang Treasure] as the spark of civilization, actually once served as his own crew. And like ordinary crew members, they obeyed their orders seriously and meticulously. ?Thinking about it this way, this seems like a pretty big deal? ?When he thought that Yan Yan had left, Xia En felt melancholy, but also a little happy that he had regained his memory. After all, no one wants to live in a state of confusion for the rest of their lives. ?Recovering his memory means that Yan Yan has regained his identity as King Xin and can continue his unfinished business in the past. For Yan Yan personally, this may be a happy thing, right? ?However, after confirming Yan Yans identity, Xia En couldnt help but have many questions. ?Why was Yan Yan picked up by him on the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea]? What is the reason why he lost his memory? Why did King Xin and Dayan Kingdom fall like meteors back then? ??Did Yan Yan ever have a war with the enemy in [Lenglie Sea]? ?But who is the enemy Yan Yan faces? ? Could it be [Husi Ming] who invades this world? The answers to these questions are buried in the shadow of history, and Xia En has no way of knowing them. ?Probably, only Yan Yan can answer his doubts. At this time, Joey continued: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Captain, when we contacted other merchant ships, we learned that several major events have happened in the recent Seven Seas..." Not long after, Xia En got a general understanding of the major events in Qihai this month from Joey''s mouth. Including the battles between the three major esoteric religions, the entrapment of the "King", and the prophecy of the "Second Great Flood". After listening, Xia En had a strange expression. Didnt he just shut himself up once? Why did so many things happen in Nanami? ?However, Xia En still had expectations for the battle between the [Truth Society] and [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect]. In the final analysis, the initiator of this melee was none other than himself! Xia En also did not expect that his words to the Netherworld cultists in the submersible in the deep sea would have such a good effect. ?Perhaps at that time, the other party really regarded himself as the spokesperson of [Lord of the Deep] in the human world? As for the prophecy of the Second World-Destroying Flood ?This news made Xia En somewhat unexpected. He already knew from Augustines mouth that the coming of the World-Destroying Flood was [Hui Si Ming]s method to involve the world in Filthy Chaos. ?So, will this second great flood be caused by the same reason? Xia En always felt that something was wrong. There is no other reason than that the interval between these two great floods was a little too close. Even the butcher knows that before killing a pig, you must first fatten the pig before killing it. At present, the civilization on the Seven Seas is clearly still in its infancy, and it will take a long time to reach its peak. ?Even if [Huisi Ming] planned to harvest, he shouldnt start so soon. Xia En vaguely felt that there must be some hidden secret that he didn''t know yet. But having said that, judging from the strange attitude of the Federation and the recent cessation of the war between the three major esoteric sects, the credibility of this prophecy is probably still very high. This is not an alarmist doomsday prediction. Speaking of which, Yan Yan said that the destination of his trip was the far north where the great flood originated. On the sidelines, Joey speculated: "Maybe it has something to do with this prophecy, right?" The land of the far north ?Shaan muttered the name in a low voice. ?He once went to the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea], but instead of continuing to explore north, he went all the way south. Looking back now. When he first approached the [Ice and Snow Island], the reason why Xia Ens [Salt Kings Certificate] was constantly agitated was not because there was a [Salt King Treasure] on the island. Its because the real Salary King is on that island! ??And the huge warship that the [Black Swan] encountered when leaving the [Cold Sea] should be the [King] that has been rumored recently. The frozen underwater ruins under the [Cold Sea], the [Emerald Ancient City] burned to ashes, the [Emerald Holy City] where elves live... ?Xia En didnt feel anything when he experienced it before. But now, it was difficult for him not to associate these strange scenes with the Far North. Dont forget, before the great flood came, the Great Yan Kingdom founded by King Xin was located in that icy land. It is conceivable that there must be countless secrets buried in that land. ?Shane seems to have found a lot of key points now. ?However, there is a lack of a thread that connects these points together, making the truth of the matter still hidden in the fog and not clear. Xia En thought for a moment, but couldn''t get any results. He couldn''t help but let out a long breath and looked a little gloomy. ??Joy looked at Xia En and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Captain, where should we go now?" Continue to move towards [Liu Li Island]? In this month, [Black Swan] has actually completely returned to its full glory. Just because Xia En went into seclusion and Yan Yan left, the crew was unable to determine the direction to move forward. Some crew members believe that they should go directly to the Far North. It is not only to find Yan Yan, but also to solve the upcoming disaster of the world. Other crew members believed that they should act in accordance with the captains original order and continue to rush to [Liu Li Island]. No one on either side can convince the other. In the end, only a compromise solution can be reached. [Black Swan] continued to move towards [Liu Li Island], but the speed slowed down. Prevent Xia En from waking up and trying to turn the ship around, only to find that most of his time was wasted. So until now, [Black Swan] has not arrived at [Liu Li Island]. After listening to Joeys explanation, Shane understood everything immediately. He thought for a moment and made a decision quickly. Continue to [Liu Li Island]! They went all the way south from the [Lenglie Sea] and passed through the [Magnetic Sea Area] and [Sea of ??Annihilation], spending a lot of time on the way. Now turning back again, it is obvious that it cannot be reached in a short time. ??Also, lets talk about something realistic. ?With the current strength of Xia En and others, even if they find Yan Yan, they cannot keep him on the ship. And if they want to intervene in the catastrophic disaster, the crew''s combat power is completely insufficient. ??Instead of rushing towards the far north regardless of safety, it is better to concentrate on development for a period of time. ?Perhaps, there is the answer to the question he wants to know on [Liu Li Island]. With Shane making the decision, the crew had no objections. Soon, the [Black Swan] made a high-pitched cry. The steam turbine deep in the cabin is beating continuously like a heart, bursting out powerful power. The majestic bow of the ship broke through the waves ahead, stirring up a series of snow-white foam and ripples on both sides of the hull. The speed of the entire ship continued to increase, and it moved forward in an indomitable manner. After finishing the pleasantries with the crew. ?Xia En opened the [Glory Crystal Mirror], and his consciousness sank into the [Glory Land] filled with light. Having just returned to [Seven Seas World], he needs to obtain more valuable information as soon as possible. Brilliant Crystal Mirroris undoubtedly the best choice. However, upon entering the [Land of Glory], Xia En discovered... ?This space seems a little empty. In the ancient and vast square, there were more than a dozen vague light groups scattered very sparsely. ??Although it is not the day when the archbishop holds a rally, the number of believers in the square is still much smaller than what Sean remembered. [Black Light] Senior, you are here! Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this, a familiar, clear young voice sounded behind him. Xiaobai, its you. Shaan turned his head and greeted this milky white light group. ?This group of light is the young priest who originally talked to Xia En. ?In subsequent exchanges, Xia En gradually became familiar with him and learned that his code name was "Xiao Bai." She is one of the netizens Xia En is familiar with in [Land of Glory]. [Black Light] Senior, where have you been during this time? The archbishop held several meetings, but he didnt see you. ?Xiaobai said with both curiosity and concern: "A few days ago, after we officially started the war with the [Truth Society], many of our companions unfortunately died." I thought you also Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood the reason why the [Glory Land] became deserted. Obviously, in the battle with the Truth Society, a considerable number of Hui sect believers died. ?This couldn''t help but make Xia En feel a little bit guilty. After all, this war started because of him. ?However, Xia En has not forgotten the true face of the [Lord of Billions of Glory]. A sect that believes in foreign gods may not be a good thing for the [Seven Seas World]. at the same time. Xia En also felt strongly vigilant and said to himself. The strength of the [Truth Society] is truly terrifying. Facing the siege of two major secret sects, it can still cause such heavy casualties. It is worthy of being one of the most mysterious forces in the Seven Seas. He has already underestimated the strength of the [Truth Society]. But now it seems that [Hui Sect] and [Yushu Sect] alone cannot completely eliminate [Truth Society]. While Xia En and Xiao Bai were talking. Other nearby Hui sect believers also noticed his arrival. ?Who made the black light emitting from Xia En''s body so conspicuous? Not long after, a believer with a purple soul light group came over and questioned Xia En. [Black Light]! Where have you been these days? Obviously we are all fighting **** battles with the lunatics of the [Truth Society], why dont we see you contributing in the battle? ??The purple believer''s tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction, even vaguely targeted. His anger is not difficult to understand. ??The person who originally delivered the oracle was Xia En, and it was Xia En who led to the war with the [Truth Society]. However, during the battle, Xia En was not seen taking any action, and even disappeared for a time. It''s like a deserter. This purple believers friends and relatives all died in the battle, so his resentment became even more obvious. ?Shaan frowned. He didn''t want to explain this kind of problem at first, and wanted to find an excuse to excuse it. But suddenly, his brows jumped, and he noticed a white-gold light group in the crowd staring at him. ?There seemed to be a strange halo flowing in the other party''s eyes. Shortly afterwards, several lines of information appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Description: A pupil technique that can identify the authenticity of words. "Um?" Xia En was startled, and soon realized that this was the effect of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. ? He ??originally thought that this talent only took effect on [Secret Realms], but now, it is obvious that it can also see through secrets. ?So, after thinking about it, Xia En said: "These days, I am busy with promotion rituals, so I am unable to participate in rallies and battles in time." I can understand if you blame me for this. However, if you say that I did not contribute in this war, then I cannot agree with it. The purple believer was obviously a little dissatisfied: "Then tell me, what have you done?" A month ago, I dived into the deep sea alone and killed a first-generation species of [Scion of Yousui], thereby drawing [Yousui Sect] into this war. Xia En sneered: "If [Youshu Sect] hadn''t taken action, our [Hui Sect]''s casualties would have been even more severe, right?" "[The Descendants of Yousui]...the first generation...drew the [Yousui Sect] into trouble?" The more the Purple Believers heard, the more ridiculous they felt: "[The Descendants of Yousui] are at least in the deep sea thousands of meters below, and the [First Generation Species] among them only appear at a distance of close to 10,000 meters." There is a limit to how much you can lie! At this time, the white-gold light group next to him came out, looked at Xia En with shocked eyes, and said. Everything he said is true. Lord Star! ?This platinum light group obviously has a very high prestige among believers. The moment he appeared, several people saluted him. However, after hearing [Xingchen]s words, people couldnt help but be stunned. They were also curious as to why the [Netherworld Sect] launched an attack on the [Truth Society] so coincidentally at almost the same time. But it was only now that they knew the truth. Its just that this truth is a bit too incredible. This, how is this possible? ??The purple believer''s eyes widened, still in disbelief. int The purple believer shook his head quickly: "I don''t dare to..." [Xingchen] turned around, walked towards Xia En, and then bowed deeply. [Black Light] Your Excellency, thank you for your contribution. I also apologize to you on behalf of my useless subordinate. (End of this chapter) Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] explorat Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] exploration! [Black Light] Your Excellency, Im sorry. ?After seeing [Xingchen] apologize for himself, the believer who was emitting purple light also gritted his teeth and quickly lowered his head to Xia En. Xia En nodded in response. ? At this moment, he also saw that this purple believer and [Xingchen] probably knew each other in reality, and they were in a superior-subordinate relationship. originally probably wanted to use the purple believers to test Xia En. ??If Shane had told a lie, it would undoubtedly be used as an excuse for criticism. Obviously, after suffering a very heavy sacrifice, some people within the Hui Religion began to have doubts about Xia En. After all, the oracle is unquestionable. The only person who can be doubted is naturally the person who delivers the oracle. ?However, [Xingchen] obviously did not expect that after asking, he would get such an answer. On the contrary, it increased Xia En''s prestige in front of many believers. ?Xiao Bai on the side opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia En in amazement. It turns out that the reinforcements from [Netherworld Sect] were found by senior [Black Light]. Those guys who believe in the ancient gods have always been stubborn and rigid. It is not easy to deal with them. I can only say that...he is indeed a senior [Black Light]! ?Xiaobai is young and knows limited secrets, so he failed to realize the key point of Xia En''s words just now. But the other Hui sect believers in the crowd could not help but change their expressions slightly and began to communicate in low voices. The [first-generation species] among the [Sirs of Yousui]... I remember that there are only nine of them in the entire Seven Seas, right? Furthermore, it is said that the [First Generation Species] already possesses some of the immortal abilities of the [Netherworld Lord]. Even if you suffer fatal injuries, you can still come back to life in the deep sea in an incredible way. [Black Light] Seniors Beheading, what exactly is it..." Hearing these whispers, Xia En''s expression was a little strange, and he thought to himself. Huh? There are only nine [first-generation species]? So, it seems like it still has some kind of remarkable existence? Xia En originally thought that the [first-generation species] was just a relatively rare deep-sea creature, but now it seems that their rarity seems to be beyond his expectation! There are only nine in the entire [Seven Seas World]? Furthermore, this number seems to have been maintained for a long time. As a result, you ate one of them during a [deep sea hunting]? Let alone other people, even Xia En himself felt it was a bit outrageous. ?However, Xia En was able to confirm that the previous [first-generation species] that looked like a giant squid was indeed dead. Its secret power and flesh and blood have become the nourishment for Xia En''s growth, and there is no possibility of resurrection. Perhaps, among the [first-generation species] of [Yousuis descendants], there are also strong and weak ones. Xia En analyzed secretly: "And the one I encountered happened to be the weakest among the [first-generation species]." "And its complete death may be related to my [Deep Touch]..." ?Thinking about it carefully, [Sir of Netherworld] may be the embodiment of [Secret Power of Netherworld]. Conventional attack methods, such as destroying the body, will only defeat the [Secret Power] and return it to the deep sea. When the [Deep Secret Power] gathers again, the [First Generation Seed] will be resurrected! I''m afraid, this is the truth about the immortality of [the first generation species]! ?Although it was just a guess, Xia En was 80% sure. Thinking about it now, the reason why that [first-generation species] is not too strong is probably because it has just been resurrected and has not yet returned to its peak state. ?During the battle, Xia En completely absorbed its [Netherworld Secret Power] and strengthened his own [Deep Touch]. This is when the first generation species died completely. ? Xia En has many thoughts in his mind, but in the eyes of other Hui sect believers, it is a sign that the senior masters do not care about rumors. After this episode, Xia En''s image became more and more unpredictable in the eyes of everyone. The awe in people''s hearts has inevitably deepened. After all, [Black Light] can kill even the [First Generation Species] known as the "immortal", and no one wants to be an enemy of such a being. ?Xia En also didnt expect that a few casual words would have such a good effect. But he did not forget the purpose of coming to the [Land of Glory]. Soon, Xia En asked Xiaobai: "Speaking of which, it seems that we have ceased war with the [Truth Society] recently? What''s going on?" Hearing this, Xiaobai looked indignant, but hesitated to speak. He glanced at the [star] next to him that was emitting platinum light. Let me speak. ǡ said frankly: "After all, I was the first to propose the peace talks." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Peace talks?" After the war between [Huijiao] and [Truth Society], the two sides have already formed a **** feud. If you want peace talks, you will definitely face great resistance. No wonder Xiaobai looked at him like this. ?However, Xia En thought about it and immediately guessed the root cause behind the peace talks. Is it because of the prophecy of the Second Flood? "Yes, we have verified from many sources that the disaster of annihilation is indeed coming." Under the overturned nest, how can there be any intact eggs? In the face of this kind of disaster, we should temporarily put aside our contradictions and find ways to get through this disaster first. Furthermore, it is said that it is a peace negotiation, but in fact, it is also a competition between the three major esoteric religions. Shane: Oh, how do you say it? Immediately, [Xingchen] recounted the conversation that took place in the unique [Secret Realm] to Xia En. Including the agreements and oaths made by the three major esoteric religions. The reason [Xingchen] knows so clearly is because...he himself is a witness to this peace meeting! ?This also shows his unusual identity. From beginning to end, [Xingchen]s attitude was very calm. Obviously, he believed from the bottom of his heart that what he did was right, so he had a clear conscience. In fact, there are many people who hold this idea in Huijiao. After all, once the whole world is flooded, even if the war between esoteric cults is won, everything will be meaningless. ?Compared with the resolute death struggle faction, this can only be said to be a conceptual difference. It cannot represent disloyalty to the Lord of billions of rays of light. ǡcontinues: "Moreover, we have reached an agreement on the surface." Secretly, we are also using unique secret techniques to lock the identities of [Truth Society] members. We have not forgotten the **** feud in the past! ?His words were so sonorous and powerful that the eyes of Xiaobai next to him changed slightly. "I see." Xia En was not surprised and simply asked: "Then have you found out the source of the great flood?" s expression froze under the light, and he shook his head helplessly: Not yet. The first batch of believers who went to the far north have not yet heard back. "However, the progress of the other two religions is definitely not that fast." Xia En shook his head: "That''s not what I want to say." Have you ever considered the possibility that those who are preparing to set off this world-destroying flood are none other than members of the [Truth Society]! You are stalling for time, and so are they. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. ?There is no other reason. This speculation is too sensational. ?This not only means that the [Truth Society] has been in an invincible position from the beginning in the competition between the three religions. It also means that the [Truth Society] may have been on the opposite side of the entire [Seven Seas World]. This, how is this possible... [Xingchen] looked dazed and said dullly: "No matter what, the [Truth Society] won''t be so crazy, right?" Xiaobai murmured to himself: "Destroying the entire world, what good will it do to them?" ?Of course, Xia En has no actual basis for this. ??But judging from the [Undertaker] encountered during the promotion ritual, the [Truth Society] is definitely secretly preparing some terrible plan. ?That plan not only exists in modern times, but also runs through the past and future, hidden in the cracks of history! ??Moreover, after witnessing with my own eyes the truth that the [Seven Seas World] is only a larger [Secret Realm] in the [Secret Sea]. Xia Ens horizons have broadened a lot. ?Perhaps, the [Truth Society] is preparing to reshape the order of the [Seven Seas World] with the help of the disaster of destruction. Perhaps the [Truth Society] wants to get rid of the restrictions of the [Seven Seas World] and go to a wider world? Intuition told Xia En that this was definitely something the [Truth Society] could do. ?However, guesses are just guesses after all. Xia En could not convince the people of the Hui Religion through this. His purpose was just to plant a seed in the hearts of the Hui Religion believers so that they would always be wary of the [Truth Society]. Subsequently, Xia En got another piece of information from Xiao Bai. Recently, the Seven Seas Federation has been gathering people with lofty ideals from all forces to go to the far north to face the disaster. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little strange. The Federation is so big, wouldnt it take some people several months just to go to the Far North? By then, wont we have missed the most critical period? Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, that''s normal." But it is said that some time ago, the Federations space transmission technology made a huge breakthrough. The Federation has decided to build teleportation platforms to the Far North near various important islands. In this way, people from the seven sea areas can reach that extremely cold land in time. ?Xia En suddenly understood, but he inevitably had some doubts in his heart. How could it be such a coincidence that the breakthrough in teleportation technology was completed just when the prophecy of the second great flood was spread? Or is it that this breakthrough has been achieved a long time ago, but the Federation has always used it as a trump card to suppress the situation, and it was not revealed until now? Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked: "Is there such a teleportation platform near [Liu Li Island]?" "certainly!" ?Xiaobai nodded heavily, then quickly realized something, and looked at Xia En in surprise. Senior [Black Light], are you near [Liu Li Island] right now? Xia En responded: "Yeah, what''s the matter?" Xiaobai said happily: "What a coincidence, I happen to be on [Liu Li Island], maybe we can meet him!" Hearing this, Xia En''s mood suddenly became a little strange. In short, it feels like netizens who have been chatting online for many days finally want to meet face to face. ?This time, will he put on a vest to hide his true identity? How about we just show off our cards and stop pretending? Just when Xia En was hesitating, he heard Xiao Bai''s excited thoughts. With the strength of Senior [Black Light], if you go to the far north, you will definitely be the first person to discover the secret of the Great Flood. ?Other believers are also full of faith. Senior [Black Light] takes action personally, and he will definitely be able to capture it! Perhaps, Mr. [Black Light] is the person predicted to prevent the catastrophe from coming! In fact, in the face of this second great flood, the people on the Seven Seas did not fall into despair, nor did they directly start various plans to preserve the fire of civilization. ? is because In the prophecy spread across the Seven Seas, there is actually another sentence. When the eyes of the whole world fall on the Far North, there may be people who will stand up in times of crisis, hold up the building before it collapses, and turn the tide before it collapses. No one knows who spread this prophecy. Some people say that it was a prediction made by a great fortune-teller who sacrificed his life. Some people say that it is the content recorded on an ancient stone tablet. In short, because of the existence of this prophecy, people in the Federation became panicked, and their morale did not collapse directly. They were even able to organize effective resistance. Some people still have small ambitions in their hearts. ?Perhaps the person who prevents the disaster is himself? Becoming the chosen one, accomplishing impossible feats, and gaining countless fame... Novels with this type of plot have always been very popular in the Seven Seas. ?However, when Xia En heard the believers talking like this, he couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. Members of the family know their own affairs. ??Although he has always maintained an enigmatic image in [The Land of Glory], that is actually the result of a combination of various chances and coincidences. Xia En himself is just a secret path user who has just entered the fifth level. Compared with those sixth-level and even legendary powerhouses, there is still a huge gap. Not long after, Xia En withdrew from [The Land of Glory]. ??This time "online", the most important information is the confirmation that there is a teleportation platform leading to the Far North around [Liuli Island]. ?In this way, Xia En does not need to spend a lot of time traveling. He can completely do what he wants to do on [Liu Li Island], and then use the teleportation array to go to the far north. Alas, I am still too weak. Xia En sighed softly. The prophecy of this world-destroying flood gave him a strong sense of urgency. With his current strength, I am afraid he is not even qualified to participate. Xia En said to himself: "Now, there are two ways to quickly improve your strength." The first is to go to [Liu Li Island] and conduct an all-round upgrade of the hull and various components of the [Black Swan]. The second is to improve career fit and break through to a new level as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En opened the panel and looked at the [Submarine Anchor Point] he left in the [Secret Sea]. This is the anchor point he left after sneaking into the space at the bottom of the [Diamond Star] ship. This is the time to use it! Start diving! (End of this chapter) Chapter 277 【The Secret Realm of the Furnace】 Chapter 277 [The Furnace Secret Realm] The familiar feeling of weightlessness came as expected. Xia En''s consciousness keeps falling and falling again... ?Its just that the feeling of this deep dive is different from previous dives. The chaotic darkness around him was obviously more solid and viscous than usual, giving him a strong sense of envelopment. ??Moreover, during the fall, Xia En clearly felt that he had passed through an indescribable barrier. At first, Shane encountered some resistance. But soon, as his [Secret Power of the Void] seeped out, this barrier was like a coded door with the correct password, allowing Xia En to enter and exit. Obvious. ?This is exactly the [World Barrier] that Xia En has seen during the promotion ritual. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little scared. ??If he tried to use the [Anchor Point] to dive into the [Secret Sea] before he was promoted to the fifth level, he might be blocked by this barrier, and he might even suffer unforeseen injuries. ?However, Xia En remembered the strange sea water under the cabin of the [Diamond Star]. Why can you directly reach the [Secret Sea] by diving into that seawater? ?? Could it be that, as Shane had guessed before, this [Diamond Star] is the projection of its body in the [Secret Sea], and is it so closely connected with the [Secret Sea]? Many complicated thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. Then, when the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, he opened his eyes. What comes into view is a deep and dark sea, so vast that its depth cannot be measured. ?Countless obscure lights and shadows flow rapidly in it. ????????????????????????????Some rays of light are scattered scatteredly, and some are gathered together like a river. In this dark background, it is as bright as a galaxy. Such a scene will always be shocking no matter how many times you see it. Xia En whispered in his heart: "[Secret Sea], I''m back again." To put it into perspective, this is actually the third time that Xia En has dived into the depths of the [Secret Sea]. The first time was during the first-level promotion ritual, when I accidentally performed a [submersible]. ??As a result, he directly ran into a giant thing in the [Secret Sea], and after hurriedly breaking into a world of light bubbles, he was kicked out. The second time, during the fourth-level promotion ritual, the [Submarine Anchor Point] was left in the [Secret Sea]. Before he took a second look, he was crushed by another huge will. ?However, the two [submersible voyages] were extremely short, and there was no valuable harvest. They could only be regarded as trials. Right now, its Xia Ens first official exploration of the [Secret Sea]! ?Xia Ens eyes swept across the chaotic light and shadow in front of him. Soon, his eyes were attracted by one of the nearest light spots, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Eye of Peeping Secretsactivates! Name of the secret realm: Unknown Whether there are traces of intelligent creatures: unknown Characteristics: Unknown Possible loot: unknown Relationship with "Seven Seas World": Very low Danger level: extremely high There are a lot of unknowns in the information that emerges in front of you. Obviously, this is because this [Secret Realm] is less related to the [Seven Seas World], and Xia En''s use of the [Peeping Eye] ability has yet to be developed. So the information I see is relatively limited. ??But even so, the information is by no means worthless. ?Just seeing the column [Danger Level: Extremely High], Xia En decisively gave up exploring this [Secret Realm] and turned to look at other light spots. ?However, maybe Shane was just unlucky. He looked at four or five light spots in succession, all of which were [Secret Realms] with extremely low correlation and extremely high risk. Then on second thought, its the same thing. The [Secret Sea] is so big, and the [Secret Realms] in it are more like countless stars. In such searches, we will definitely encounter [secret realms] that have nothing to do with the [Seven Seas World]. Continue to investigate like this, I dont know when we will find it. Maybe Im looking for it in the wrong way. ?Xia En said to himself, and then a sudden thought occurred. Perhaps, I can directly observe myself with the [Peeping Eye of Secrets], and use this to locate the [Secret Realms] that are highly related to the [Seven Seas World]? ?Shane just did it when he thought of it. He quickly calmed down and observed his [projection body]. Soon, Xia En saw that from the [Projection Body], there were many dry and dark things spreading like branches, faintly connected to several light points in the star sea. It really works! ?Xia En was in an uplifted mood and had some enlightenment. ?These black branches, which are as complex as thorn bushes, are most likely the connection between him and these [secret realms]. In the parlance of Xianxia novels, it is something like karma and fetters. In the Seven Seas, some mystics may use the word "thread of fate" to describe this wonderful connection. After all, Xia Ens body comes from the [Seven Seas World], and the [Secret Realm] related to it should have a high degree of correlation with the [Seven Seas World]. It didnt take long. Xia En found a light spot with more black branches and the closest distance. Secret Realm Name: Furnace Are there any traces of intelligent creatures: Yes Characteristics: "Hot", "Underground claustrophobia", "Shared language", "Trade possible"] Possible loot: lava mine; forging equipment; fire seeds... Relationship with "Seven Seas World": High Risk Level: High "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, the information displayed in this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] was quite comprehensive and rich. Let him immediately have a general understanding of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. ? Judging from various information, [The Furnace Secret Realm] seems to be a good place to explore. The only disadvantage is that the level of danger is higher. ??Xia En turned his head and looked into the distance. There was another light spot covered with many black branches, which was still quite some distance away. ?It will obviously take a lot of time to get there. In the previous process of searching for a highly relevant [Secret Realm], Xia En had already wasted part of the ship''s soul power. ?Besides, no one can guarantee that the next [Secret Realm] encountered will be better than the [Secret Realm of the Furnace]. ?From Xia Ens observation, the locations of different [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea] are actually changing all the time. ?Those flowing starlights are the trajectory of the [Secret Realm]. ?There seems to be some special pattern contained in it, but Xia En is not yet able to study it thoroughly. The current situation is... ???If you arrive near the next [Secret Realm], and that [Secret Realm] turns out to be more dangerous, and you miss the current [Secret Realm of the Furnace], wouldnt it be like drawing water from a bamboo basket but in vain? ?Xia En thought for a moment, decided not to be entangled, and went directly to the light spot in the [Furnace Secret Realm]. As he got closer, the light spots gradually turned into huge light bubbles, whose surface exuded a hazy and dense light, making it look beautiful. ?Looking closely, the surface of the light bubble still has a faint red color, but it is not obvious. Immediately afterwards, Xia En did not hesitate and hit the light bubble directly. ??A huge pulling force came at this moment, and he felt as if his soul was flying up and being pulled towards a certain existence in the [Secret Realm]. Its more like squeeze than pull. Xia En''s soul was forced into this existence under the influence of some external force. The next moment. ?The heavy touch from the real world came from the limbs, along with several strange sensations. Hot and dry. The smell of blood lingering on the tip of the nose, the smell of some kind of rotting corpse. ??Although Xia En''s [Projection Body] already has various senses, it always seems to be separated by a thin film, which is different from the original body. ?But the senses he was feeling at the moment seemed extremely real and clear, as if Xia En''s true body had arrived. Whats going on? ?Xia En moved his fingers with difficulty, only to feel that his body was unusually slow and numb. ?Even the simple action of opening your eyes seems extremely difficult. ?This uncomfortable feeling lasted for more than ten seconds, and the unspeakable numbness and dullness all over my body finally gradually faded away. ?Shaan felt as if he had awakened from a long hibernation and regained his ability to move little by little. Finally, Xia En opened his eyes and saw the surrounding scene clearly. All he saw was a groggy, underground cave-like space around him. ?On the ground not far away, there was a strange "kerosene lamp", and the swaying firelight reflected the scene inside the cave. A strange animal corpse three meters high and six to seven meters long was lying in front of Xia En. ?Its head seemed to have been hit by some kind of blunt instrument, and it was beyond recognition. ?Shaan could only barely tell that this was probably some kind of lizard-like monster. ?It is completely red, with red sarcomas on its back and crown, which look like organs that store energy. Fine scales are spread all over the body, and the four claws are very sharp. ?There are scars from being beaten with blunt objects all over the body of the lizard monster, and many places were directly dented. Dark red blood accumulated under its body, and the water evaporated under the high temperature, leaving only clots of clotted blood. Combined with the surrounding potholes on the ground and walls, it is not difficult to see that a fierce battle took place in this cave. One of the fighting parties has died, so where is the other party at this time? ?Suddenly, Xia En felt something was wrong. ?Perspective! ?His angle of view is much shorter than usual! Just now, Xia En''s attention was focused on the surrounding environment and he hadn''t noticed anything wrong yet. But when he looked up at the height of the lizard and the burrow, he suddenly woke up. ?Xia En quickly looked down at his right hand, and what he saw was a completely unfamiliar palm. ?This palm looks short and thick, and there is a layer of calluses. On the arm, he wears a unique style of arm armor, the craftsmanship is very complex and exquisite. Xia En looked at other parts of his body and found that not only his palms, but his entire body had become unusually short and thick. Like...the dwarves he had seen before! Obviously, this is definitely not his own body! Xia En looked shocked and murmured: "What''s going on?" He took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and carefully sensed his own condition. Soon, Xia En discovered that just like when he was [submersible] in the past, he could still feel the existence of his own body, and he could also release the [submersible] state at any time. In other words, the essence of his body is still the [projection body]. ??Its just that when entering the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], a special mutation occurred, causing the [Projected Body] to slip into a strange body. After Xia En carefully analyzed it, he immediately had a guess in his mind. ??The "squeezing" force he felt before was probably the repulsive force coming from the [Furnace Secret Realm]. After all, to this world, Shane is a veritable stowaway. This is different from the situation in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]. [Blood Moon Secret Realm] itself is a secret realm that relies on [Seven Seas World], and [Secret Realm] has always regarded the secret travelers of [Seven Seas World] as its own. ? And Xia En possesses the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], which is equivalent to being recognized by the [Rhine Secret Realm], and is even regarded as the [Lord of the Rhine]. So, he can decide to let outsiders enter the [Rhine Secret Realm] without being rejected by the will of the [Secret Realm]. But to [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is like a thief who broke into this place, and it is inevitable that he will be hostile. ?In this case, the [Projection Body] was forced to get into the body of an aboriginal in [The Furnace Secret Realm] to avoid the pressure of the will of the [Secret Realm]. ?However, this is obviously not without impact. ?Shaan glanced at the panel. Projector''s name: BronzebeardWarhammer Race: Dwarf Current comprehensive quality: 3.5! His current overall quality is only about one-third of what it was under normal conditions. Taking into account the need to adapt to an unfamiliar body, the combat power that Xia En can exert will only be lower. ?Of course, Xia En also realized that he could actually temporarily let the [projection body] leave this body to fight, thus unleashing his full combat power. ?However, doing so may cause the will of [Secret Realm] to be rejected, causing [Submarine] to end prematurely. It can be regarded as a trump card when forced to do so. After sorting out the situation, Xia En forced himself to stand up. It was then that he saw a huge war hammer lying next to the giant lizard corpse. At a rough estimate, it seems to be longer than the height of Shane''s body. Obviously, this is the weapon of this "Bronzebeard Warhammer". ?Xia En picked up the war hammer and felt warm and hard to the touch, and there was an inexplicable feeling like being driven by an arm. ?That is probably the muscle memory remaining in this body, which can be turned into some good fighting skills. This hammer ?Xia En looked at the warhammer carefully and was suddenly surprised. ?The entire hammer is made of an unknown material. It seems to have used some special forging process. The quality and hardness are very good. ?Furthermore, there is a special quenching pattern on the surface of the warhammer, which is a bit like flames and a bit like thorns. ?The strange thing is that this pattern actually gives Xia En a sense of familiarity. As if I have seen it somewhere. Quenchingforging Xia En suddenly realized: "By the way, it''s Xian Ge!" Bronze Dragon String Song seems to have similar lines generated when using [Forging Fire Technique]. At this moment. ?There was a sound of footsteps in the cave not far away. (End of this chapter) Chapter 278 【Fire】【Warhammer Tribe】 Chapter 278 [Fire Seed] [Warhammer Tribe] ?A rush of footsteps broke the silence in the underground cave. ?Xia En held the sledgehammer, turned his head, and looked warily towards the direction where the footsteps came from. I saw a group of dwarf warriors wearing refined armor walking out of a corridor, looking for something nervously and anxiously. The first thing they saw was naturally the huge red lizard and the horrific injuries on its body. Its the Salamander just now! It looks like he died not long ago, and there are signs of fighting nearby! Look around quickly, maybe Bronzebeard is still alive! Hearing these words, Xia En immediately understood that these dwarves came to search and rescue "himself". Based on Xia Ens observation just now, it has been basically determined ??Although the fire lizard was killed by a heavy hammer, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" also suffered irreparable injuries during the battle with it, and eventually died. This gave the [Projection Body] the opportunity to occupy this corpse. ?Thinking of this, Xia En let out a low groan: "Well..." Hearing the sound, the dwarves quickly passed over the body of the Salamander and saw Xia En who seemed to have just woken up from a coma. Thats great, Brother Bronzebeard! Its great to see you again. ??A bearded dwarf said excitedly: "You actually killed this beast alone. You are worthy of being the most heroic warrior in the tribe!" Another dwarf also expressed his happiness: "I thought... I would never see you again." ?But soon, the dwarves noticed that Xia En looked a little confused, as if he didn''t understand what was happening. Bronzebeard, are you okay? With vigilance in his eyes, Xia En said hoarsely: "Who are you...?" Hmm? Whats going on? Hearing this, the dwarves'' faces changed slightly and they said in surprise: "You, don''t you recognize us?" ?Xia En didnt speak, but looked at them suspiciously and warily. The dwarf doctor in the team carefully observed Shane''s condition and speculated: "His head seems to have been hit hard by the Salamander. This kind of injury may cause temporary amnesia." Hissamnesia Hearing this judgment, the dwarves looked a little sad. At first, the bearded dwarf even apologized: "It''s all my fault. If only I could come back with help as soon as possible..." In fact, Bronzebeard was not the only one who encountered the Fire Lizard before. It''s just that the strength of these companions is far inferior to Bronzebeard, and remaining will only become a drag. In order to cut off their rear, Bronzebeard took the initiative to stay and fight the Salamander. Dont be so pessimistic. The dwarf doctor said: "No matter what, Bronzebeard is still alive, he just lost his memory temporarily." In the future, there will be a chance to recover the memory. There may be other fire species lairs nearby, so wed better go home as soon as possible. The words of the dwarf doctor immediately attracted the recognition of others, so they carried the body of the fire lizard, took Xia En with them, and walked towards the way they came. Such a fire lizard is a very valuable trophy for the Warhammer tribe. ??Dwarves certainly have no reason to waste. ?Perhaps out of apology or concern, the bearded dwarf followed Xia En and took the initiative to speak. Let me introduce myself, I am Kull, and I was your good brother before you lost your memory. If you want to know anything, you can ask me. As he spoke, Kull patted Shane on the shoulder, with a hint of guilt still in his eyes. Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up slightly. The theory of "amnesia" was of course made up by him to deal with the dwarves. This is also the best strategy at the moment. After all, he inherited Bronzebeard''s body, but not the dwarf''s memory. If he communicated normally with the dwarves, the secret would be exposed soon. I have to say that although this routine is very old, it is more effective than it is! At this time, Kuhl is undoubtedly a good source of intelligence. Not long after, Shane asked Kuer several questions. ??Kul also answered with great patience. ?According to Kuhl, Shane learned that this group of dwarves had been living in this strange underground cave since birth. ?Countless complex and ancient tunnels, caves excavated at unknown times, and naturally formed caves... together constitute this huge underground world. In the mouths of the dwarves, this underground world is called... Ghana! means a space that is always hot and exists underground. ??The "Warhammer" tribe where Bronzebeard and Kull belong is only one of many dwarf tribes, and they are among the weaker ones. So the area where I live is relatively remote. It is said that those truly powerful and prosperous dwarf tribes have established real cities underground! Goooo! ??Just when Shane was asking for information from Kuhl, a dull roar suddenly came from the tunnel not far away. Hearing this sound, the dwarves couldn''t help but change their expressions. They quickly put down the body of the Salamander and hid in the corner of the cave. ??Kul also took Xia En and hid aside. All the dwarves held their breath, not even daring to take a breath. Obviously, they were very afraid of the roaring presence in the tunnel, as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Soon, the vague feeling of pressure and heaviness began to dissipate, the air became extremely hot, and the body temperature increased several degrees. Even with the physique of the dwarves adapted to the [Furnace Secret Realm], sweat could not help but drip from their bodies, and their backs were covered with sweat. Fortunately, this heavy pressure did not last long. For a moment, the being hidden in the tunnel seemed to have turned away from the cave and gradually moved away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started to act again. ??Kul also took a long breath and said to himself: "It was so dangerous...I almost hit another Agni." Fire type? ?Xia En asked curiously. ? He ??remembered that in the [Possible Loot] column of [The Furnace Secret Realm], "Fire Seed" appeared. ??Moreover, the lizard that Bronzebeard killed earlier also had a simple and crude name like "Salamander". Brother Bronzebeard, you have even forgotten this... ??Kul glanced at Shane sympathetically, but still explained: "In this underground world, dwarves have never been the real masters." Fire is the favorite of [Ghana]. They are born with strong bodies, hard scales, and can directly control fire. Only a team of dwarves can kill a Salamander like before. Speaking of this, the guilt in Kulls eyes became even greater. "Brother Bronzebeard, if you hadn''t lost your memory, your victory over the Fire Lizard alone would rank among the top five in our clan." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. He was a little surprised before. With the strength displayed by these dwarves, they did not seem to be very dangerous to the [Projection Body]. ?Now that I think about it, the real danger is not necessarily the dwarves, but the fire seeds hidden deep in the caves. ?That is the real strong man in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. ?However, Xia En couldn''t help but think of another question. ??These dwarves, in terms of racial characteristics, are no different from the dwarves in the [Seven Seas World]. It can even be said that they are the same species! ?So, why do dwarves live in the [Forge Secret Realm]? ??Moreover, from Kuhls description, they have lived here for at least hundreds of years? ?Xia En had a bold guess in his heart. Perhaps, the ancestors of these dwarves came from the [Secret Sea World]! They came to the [Secret Realm of the Furnace] through some special method and settled here, continuing the race to this day. So, the Agni people are the original inhabitants of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. The dwarves are just a group of outsiders! This can also explain why [The Furnace Secret Realm] has a high degree of correlation with [Seven Seas World]. Why the Agni species naturally have great advantages in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The reason why Xia En came up with this guess was because he recalled the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Hundreds of years ago, when the first great flood came. Since those despicable vampires can choose to sacrifice the residents of a city, let the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] break away from the [Seven Seas World] and sink into the [Secret Sea], thereby avoiding the disaster of annihilation. ?Then, dwarves may also have the ability to hide in other [secret realms]. ?Although this is just a guess, Xia En is already 70% to 80% sure. There is no sunlight in caves located underground. But in the walls of the tunnel, a red crystal can occasionally be seen, emitting a faint but firm light. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like there is a fire burning deep in the rock wall. ?Kool explained to Shane that it was a specialty of [Ghana] - lava mine. Not only can it play a lighting role, as a fuel for "mining lamps", it is also widely used in the forging of various equipment and weapons. The so-called "mining lamp" is the weird lamp that Shane saw before. It is also one of the necessary equipment for every dwarf to travel. ?However, even if the lava mines were so useful, the dwarves would not dig out the lava mines in every rock wall. Instead, they will deliberately leave some lava mines for lighting in important passages. Because in this world, darkness is a very terrifying existence. ??If a dwarf is in a dark environment, he will start to murmur meaninglessly within a day, and his rationality will gradually slip towards madness. The longer the time goes on, the more unstable the mind will become. Even if they return to the light after this, they will leave indelible mental scars. No dwarf can last three days in the absence of light. Because once the three days are up, the dwarf will mysteriously disappear and never be seen again, as if... he was completely swallowed by some existence in the darkness. Because of these complex reasons, the closer we get to the Warhammer tribe, the more lava minerals contained in the rock walls increase. The passage also looks brighter and brighter. At the same time, the temperature in the air is gradually heating up, and there is a slight burning feeling on the surface of the body. ?However, the dwarves such as Kuhl are very adaptable to the temperature here, with a relaxed smile on their faces. Obviously, in the long process of survival and evolution, the dwarves have also evolved a physique adapted to the [Forge Secret Realm]. After passing through a slightly lengthy tunnel. Xia En''s vision suddenly broadened. What appeared in front of us was a spacious space like an underground hall. ??In the central rock formation above this underground space, there is a huge red crystal, like a small sun, providing light to the entire space. On the surrounding rock walls, there are scattered caves embedded in themthese are the residences of each dwarf. ?Although it may seem a bit sloppy, this kind of collective settlement can greatly protect the safety of ordinary dwarves. In the center of the entire space, there stands a huge furnace. Something seems to be being forged in the furnace. Around the furnace, several strong dwarves were beating a red metal block with hammers larger than their bodies. Dang! clang! clang! With a sonorous and powerful knocking sound, the metal block gradually took shape, and many small scale-like lines appeared on the surface. At this time, one of the dwarves with white beard and hair poured a basin of thick blood onto the metal block. With a "chi" sound, blood-colored steam steamed up. The unique secret power in the blood is integrated into the metal block in a wonderful way, giving it a magical luster. Xia En watched this scene intently, and couldn''t help but feel a little amazed in his heart. ?He has long heard that the dwarves'' forging skills are extremely excellent, and when he saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. But then again, as far as Xia En knows... The dwarves of the Seven Seas seem to have lost some important inheritance, causing the forged equipment to lose its soul and deteriorate in quality. Now, Xia En was able to witness a lost skill, and he was inevitably shocked. At this time, the forging of the dwarves seemed to have come to an end temporarily. ??The dwarf with a white beard and bare arms also noticed the return of Xia En and others, and stretched out his hand to greet them. Bronzebeard, Kull, are you back? Thats good, I even brought back a fire lizard. Im worried that the blood of the fire lizard is not enough! ??Kul was about to speak but stopped: "Master Patriarch..." "Um?" ??The patriarch named Hope has a straightforward personality and couldn''t stand Kull''s hesitant attitude, so he asked. If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, let it go! What does it look like? Hearing this, Kull had no choice but to say: "Brother Bronzebeard seemed to have injured his brain during the battle with the Salamander and temporarily lost his memory." As soon as these words came out, all the dwarves were shocked and looked at Xia En with surprised eyes. ?Xia En also noticed something was wrong at this time. Under normal circumstances, this kind of amnesia should not be publicized in such a big way. Or does Cool have other purposes? ?Hope glanced at Kull with a hint of meaning, then turned to look at Shane and asked: "Bronzebeard, is that so?" ?Shane nodded "confused" and "innocently", playing the state of an amnesia patient very well. ??Hope said calmly: "Okay, Bronzebeard, you go back to your cave to rest first." Ill come find you later. (End of this chapter) Chapter 279 Malice from the world Chapter 279 Malice from the world Shaen, who had "amnesia", naturally couldn''t remember where his cave was. Under the leadership of a dwarf, he returned to his "home". It is said to be "home", but in fact the interior layout of this cave is extremely simple. ?There is only a stone bed and a stone bench. ?The walls are decorated with animal heads, skins and swords, hanging even a little messily. From this, it can be seen that, except for the advanced forging technology, the living conditions of the dwarves are definitely not very good. ??Moreover, Xia En was the only one in this simple living room. Previously, from Kull, Shane learned that Bronzebeards parents had passed away long ago and there were no other relatives in the family. This is undoubtedly good news for Shane, which greatly reduces the possibility of him being exposed. Along the way, he also heard some whispers among the dwarves, and then he understood the meaning of the meaningful look in Chief Hope''s eyes. It turns out that Kull and Bronzebeard are the two most prestigious young men in the Warhammer tribe. ??Kul is good at forging and blacksmithing. Bronzebeard is extremely talented in combat - as evidenced by the fire lizard that died with him earlier. The two of them are also regarded by other tribesmen as candidates for the next tribe leader. This time, Kull and Bronzebeard went out together. As a result, Bronzebeard accidentally lost his memory, but Kull was unscathed, which inevitably makes people a little suspicious. Back in the cave, Xia En touched his chin and whispered to himself: "That''s it." ?He had vaguely sensed something was wrong before. ??Kool''s attitude towards himself was particularly enthusiastic, and when he said the word "good brother", his expression was slightly weird. ?However, Xia Ens purpose is not simple either. ?Coupled with the stereotype that dwarves have always been straightforward and reckless, he subconsciously ignored these anomalies. ?But thinking about it now, Xia En immediately realized that Bronzebeard''s death in the battle might not be a coincidence, but a long-planned conspiracy. ?Perhaps, when Bronzebeard was cutting off Kull''s rear, Kull deliberately slowed down his return with reinforcements. By the time the dwarves arrived at Bronzebeard''s side, it was already too late. ??Kul can also safely sit on the throne of the next patriarch. But no one expected that a shadow from outside the [Furnace Secret Realm] would occupy Bronzebeard''s body, and this was the story behind it. ?Of course, there are still many things in this guess that Sean has not been able to confirm, and some are even just subjective inferences. But mere speculation is enough. In fact, Shaan is not very interested in Bronzebeard''s interpersonal relationships, or even the Warhammer tribe as a whole. After all, the combat power of this group of dwarves is not that strong. Even the white-bearded dwarf leader, in Xia Ens opinion, has about a third-level combat power. Even if Xia En does not use the trump card of [Projection Body] and only uses the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer", he may still be able to defeat the opponent. Strength is confidence! From another perspective, the identity of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is also something that can be given up for Xia En. ?? I am really forced to do it as a last resort, so I just show my cards and stop pretending! So, although Xia En vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, he did not take the initiative to do anything. He only thought that the soldiers would come to block it and the water would come to cover it up. Compared with these trivial matters, he cares more about... What can you bring to yourself by exploring the [Forge Secret Realm]? ?Xia En''s eyes flashed with thought, and he quickly listed several goals in his mind. First of all, that strange lava mine is a specialty of [The Furnace Secret Realm] and may have unique effects. He will definitely get a few pieces to take back to [Seven Seas World]. Secondly, the body structure of Agni is very different from the creatures in the Seven Seas World. ?This creature itself is a precious material. Finally, the unique forging and smelting secrets of the dwarves are also very valuable. ?From Xia Ens observation, the properties of materials forged by dwarves tend to be greatly improved. And extremely solid and durable. Such a stable output will be a very popular product whether it is for personal use or for trade. ?However, Xia En obviously does not have the energy and time to learn this technology by himself - it is too late for him to just improve his own strength, so where can he find the time to become a blacksmith? ?Thinking of this, Xia En had a dangerous idea in his mind. It would be great if we could kidnap a few dwarf craftsmen "Um?" ?Xia Ens eyes widened slightly, as if he had discovered a blind spot. ?That''s right, he himself didn''t have time to learn the dwarves'' forging techniques, but as long as he packed the dwarves directly and took them away, wouldn''t there be so many problems? Not only the dwarves, but also their homes, these huge furnaces and hammers, were also taken away. ?Of course, Xia En did not intend to take the dwarves away by force like the slave trade. ?Given that the environment of [Rhine Secret Realm] is much better than [Furnace Secret Realm], maybe there will be a group of dwarves willing to leave with him? Just like the previous [Moon-Yong Clan] and [Treant Clan]. By then, [Rhine Secret Land] will not only have a hard-working labor force, but also craftsmen who master advanced craftsmanship. The construction of [Rhine City] will definitely advance rapidly. The excess equipment forged can also be traded on the Seven Seas in exchange for seeds, materials and equipment. Even one day, maybe Xia En can cultivate a kingdom of his own in the [Rhine Secret Realm]? Just imagining that scene, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but beat fast, and he felt a strong sense of anticipation. ?However, dreams are very full and reality is very skinny. At this time, a crucial question was placed in front of Xia En He must first have the ability to take away the dwarves and the lava mine! Shane has just checked. Probably because it is in the [submersible] state and is in another [secret realm]. The space ring on his body cannot be used, and the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] on his chest has temporarily lost its response. This means that the only loot he can take away is the one at the end of [Submarine]! There is still a long way to go to establish a stable passage between [Seven Seas World] and [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The secret technique that connects two [secret realms] ?Xia En touched his chin and remembered the **** full moon on the sea. That was the way for vampires to enter the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Since this precedent exists, there will definitely be similar secret techniques in the Seven Seas. As one of the centers of the Federation, [Liu Li Island] may have records of such secret techniques. ?Thinking of this, Xia En silently remembered this matter in his heart. Just when Shane was thinking about these questions. In the open space below, many dwarves were enthusiastically dismantling the body of the Salamander. For the dwarves, fire seeds are full of treasures! Their flesh and blood is food. It can nourish the bodies of dwarves, allowing them to become stronger and gradually adapt to the hot environment. Their blood is an indispensable raw material for forging equipment, and can provide mysterious and strange blessings to the equipment. Their claws and scales are all made of fine materials. Some of them can be used as useful tools with just simple polishing. When the Salamander was disembowelled, its bronze skeleton was exposed. Xia En couldn''t help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes. ?He was still curious before, obviously he didnt see any metal mines in [Forge World], so where did the metal on the hammer and armor come from. ?Now, when he saw the skeleton inside the Salamander, Xia En understood everything immediately. It turns out that these fire species have some special ability to continuously absorb metal elements from the air, soil, and food, and integrate these metal elements into their own bones. For ordinary creatures, this is undoubtedly a road to death. But for the Agni, this has already become their instinct. Thats why their bones become natural metal mines and become the materials used by the dwarves for forging. In the mouths of the dwarves, there seem to be different standards for classifying the fire types. ?Like the one brought back by Xia En and others, it is a "bronze" fire type. Soon, the dwarves dug out a large red crystal from the heart of the Salamander. Even though the Salamander has been dead for a long time, this crystal is still emitting a hot and bright light. It is the lava deposit that exists in the rock wall! Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised again. The lava mine is actually the heart of the fire species? ?The red light in the walls of [The Furnace Secret Realm], could it be the corpses of one fire species after another? Or should we say that every fire species is born in a rock formation with lava as its core? ?No matter what, this discovery made Xia En feel very novel. The world is full of wonders. Different environments have created different ecosystems and ways of living. In every secret realm, there will probably be a unique and exclusive race like [Fire Type]. at the same time. ?In the corner of the cave, the bearded Kuhl also returned to his home. ?But as soon as he entered the cave, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, pacing back and forth, and muttering to himself at the same time. How could...how could it be possible... Bronzebeard actually killed a Salamander and survived? Soon, a strong female dwarf walked out of the cave. According to the dwarven aesthetic standards, her appearance is very iconic, and she can be regarded as a "beauty." This female dwarf is called Mary, and she is Kull''s wife. Hearing Kull''s voice, Mary''s expression also changed slightly: "What? Your plan failed?" ??Kul was obviously a little afraid of his wife, and said cowardly in a low voice: "It''s not a complete failure..." The current Bronzebeard has lost his memory. ?Mary sneered and said: "But he still survived, and he is much stronger than you!" Oh no, to be precise, he should be stronger than before, right? Are you sure that no matter which tribe you belong to, only the strong can become the leader? Even the level of forging is important, but the leader of a clan must still be able to fight! ?Mary''s words poured out like a barrage of cannonballs, severely penetrating Kull''s already fragile defense. Ive said it before, as long as Bronzebeard is alive, you will never be the leader of the Warhammer Tribe! As she spoke, Mary''s eyes showed a little regret. If I had known you would be so indecisive, maybe I shouldnt have left my tribe to marry you! ?This sentence was undoubtedly extremely lethal to Kuhl. He covered his face in great pain and asked helplessly. Then what should I do now? ?Mary''s tone was still cold: "If you find an opportunity, do it again." ??Kul muttered to himself in confusion: "But now that he has returned home, where can he find an opportunity?" As long as you are willing to wait, there is always an opportunity ?Mary''s eyes were burning with dark fire as she murmured to herself. ?The reason why she insists on making Kuhl the leader of the Warhammer tribe is of course not just because of the so-called vanity, but also because of her mission. Where there are people, there will be strife. ??Dwarves are no exception. The tribe that Mary came from is a "Barbarian Axe Tribe" that is closer to the "Warhammer Tribe". Due to conflicts over territory and resources, there were frequent struggles between the two tribes, and a battle even broke out at one point. ?And Mary is the chess piece laid by the Wild Ax Tribe in the Warhammer Tribe. Although the dwarves are generally straightforward and reckless, it does not mean that there are no people among them who are good at conspiracy. ?In the Wild Ax Tribes vision, as long as Mary becomes the wife of the next leader, she can annex the Warhammer Tribe. At the beginning, Bronzebeard and Kull, as outstanding young men among the younger generation, pursued Mary, a dwarf beauty. But at that time, Bronzebeard had not yet shown his fighting talent. So, Mary chose Cool as her husband. Who would have thought that later, Bronzebeard''s strength would advance by leaps and bounds, but Kull would fall behind. In order to complete her mission, Mary came up with the evil plan, and this led to the current conversation. But for Kuhl, this is undoubtedly a double torture. On one side are your own tribe and your former friends. On the other side, there is the desire for power in his heart and his beloved wife. Such a pulling feeling almost drove him crazy! Mary, why dont you forget it? Its a good day like this, isnt it? Looking at Kull who looked pained and cautious, Mary''s eyes flashed with pity. But the next moment, the softness in her eyes was replaced by determination. She still has the stubborn and persistent character of a dwarf after all, and will never give up until she achieves her goal! ?However, Mary had not yet said anything. Boom! From the depths of the cave across the layers of rock walls, there was a sudden roar. Immediately afterwards, the rock walls around the two people began to shake violently. Click click The entire underground space was shaking, and dust and gravel continued to fall from the ceiling. The incident occurred suddenly, and the dwarves of the Warhammer tribe fell into panic. What happened? Is the cave, is the cave going to collapse? ?Among the panicked dwarves, only the patriarch Hope remained calm. ?His face was extremely ugly and he murmured: "The ground is rumbling! The ground is rumbling!" In the cave, Xia En couldn''t help but frowned, his expression solemn. For some reason, he had a strong premonition. ?This sudden disaster came because of him! Its like That is the malice from the whole world! (End of this chapter) Chapter 280 [Metal Furnace] [Lizard King] Chapter 280 [The Furnace Strategy] [The Lizard King] ??Rumble Violent vibrations shook the underground space. Rock formations, rock walls, caves and other structures appear less stable and safe under this huge force. There were gravels constantly falling from the top of the head, and even the light from the lava mines in the rock wall became a little dim. What frightens the dwarves even more is the roar one after another coming from the deeper space. It seems that if this continues, the entire underground cave will collapse and bury them all in it! Is this the sound of the earth? ?Xia En frowned, and his mood was also very solemn. But the reason for his solemn mood was different from that of the dwarves. The dwarves may have thought that this was an unexpected disaster, but in Xia En''s opinion, this "earth rumbling" was coming for him! ?This feeling has no basis, it is just pure intuition, but Xia En is inexplicably 70% to 80% sure. Obviously, this is related to his status as a "smuggler". In the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En is blessed by the will of the [Secret Realm], and naturally has stronger luck than ordinary people, and it is easier to encounter opportunities and treasures. Even as the degree of exploration increases, this blessing can continue to grow. This is the benefit of [Secret Realm]s will recognition. But for [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is equivalent to the so-called "extraterritorial demon", and the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely be hostile and malicious. He may have noticed traces of "stowaways" in this area, so he triggered "earth cries" in the area, hoping to kill or force out the little bug. ?This made Xia En both surprised and afraid. ?On the one hand, he felt that the world will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] thought too highly of him, and actually used such a method directly. On the other hand, Xia En feels that this "earth ringing" is just the beginning! ?The worlds evil will not cause just one disaster. ??As long as Xia En is still in the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], I am afraid he will be targeted continuously. But when he thought of this, Xia Ens first reaction was not fear, but excitement! ?Shane has never been a timid person, otherwise he would have found an island to live in seclusion after paying off his debts. At present, the will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] does not allow Xia En to stay in this world, but instead stimulates his rebellious psychology. You want to drive me away, but I wont go! ?Xia En also gradually developed an ambition in his heart - He wants to conquer this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] just like he conquered the underwater ruins under the sea! ?Shane turned his head and looked at Hope below, and found that although the dwarf leader was a little panicked, he was far from desperate. Obviously, if the Warhammer Horde can continue in [The Crucible], it must have its own trump card. As expected. Soon, Hope shouted loudly: "Come to my place to gather!" As the leader of the Warhammer Tribe, Hope''s authority is unquestionable. His roar immediately woke up many dwarves and moved towards him. Just a moment. The dwarves ran out of their caves, some carrying sledgehammers, and some carrying iron pots on their heads. ?This is not to protect one''s own property. But these cold iron tools can bring them an indescribable sense of security. Xia En also jumped down from the cave and joined the crowd. ?At this time, he discovered that the population of the Warhammer tribe was indeed small, only a few hundred people. When this disaster that was very likely to destroy the entire tribe struck, the dwarves also showed extremely strong cohesion and a considerable degree of order. The older dwarves carried the younger dwarves on their backs, the men led the women, and the strong ones led the ones with limited mobility. Even when Xia En came out of the cave, some dwarves looked at him as an "amnesia patient" with concern. It can be seen that they all regard this underground cave as their home. It also means that Xia Ens future abduction plan may not go so smoothly. In the crowd, Shane naturally saw Kull and his wife. ??But for some reason, Kull''s eyes were a little averted when he looked at him. Instead, the female dwarf he didn''t know looked at him with a dark and unclear look. ??Xia En was also keenly aware of a hint of well-hidden hostility from the female dwarf. Combining the previous speculations, Xia En vaguely guessed something. ?However, he didn''t say anything, he just came to Hope with the other dwarves and gathered around the huge furnace. The flames in the furnace are still burning brightly, making crackling sounds and emitting hot temperatures from time to time. ?Shaan originally thought that the furnace was just a forging tool. But as the dwarves gathered, he soon discovered that this was not the case. Wait until the dwarves gathered around the furnace. ??The patriarch Hope picked up the sledgehammer and hit the big iron stove with all his strength. ?The iron furnace was vibrating, making a magnificent and ancient sound, like the sound of a bell. Immediately afterwards, a deeply hidden secret power rose from the depths of the furnace. ??The surface of the huge furnace also gradually lit up with numerous rough red lines, blooming with flickering brilliance. The moment the red lines appeared, Xia En immediately felt that the shaking rock walls around him became stable and the vibrations were no longer so violent. It is as if this space has been reinforced by some special secret power to resist the "earth ringing" deep underground. And Hopes actions are just the beginning! Subsequently, the surrounding dwarves, all of whom could hold the war hammer, struck the huge furnace with a hammer. Dang! clang! clang! ?One knock after another, one after another, sounded in this trembling underground space. ?Each time you hit it, the surface of the furnace will have more lines and become brighter. By this time, Xia En gradually saw the shapes of those lines clearly. It is actually somewhat similar to the magic pattern of [Seven Sea World], but it is also like some kind of totem or mural, recording some unique information. However, due to the urgency of the situation, Xia En could not remember it in detail. At the same time, the unspeakable secret power in the furnace began to undergo even more bizarre changes. ?It not only vaguely connects this underground space with the furnace, but also fuses the aura of the entire Warhammer tribe into one, thus becoming stronger and stronger. It feels like putting the power of all the dwarves in the Warhammer tribe into a furnace. In the forging of the furnace fire, we usher in a wonderful sublimation. ?This power is a bit like the power of faith, but it is obviously different, as if it also condenses the power of blood and the power of lava mines. Obviously, this is a fighting method unique to the dwarves of [Melting World]! Looking at this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little moved, and he also restrained the slight contempt in his heart. ??The power of a single dwarf may not be that strong, but when the power of the entire tribe is gathered together, such a blazing flame bursts out. More importantly. ?Shaan also saw from the actions of the dwarves their struggle and tenacity in such a harsh environment. ?Like the hard rocks on the coast that are not broken by wind or rain, people always feel a little respect for them. ?Moreover, Xia En thought a little more. The essence of the melting pot strategy seems to be to melt the collective strength into one. So, can the [Black Swan], myself, and the crew on the ship use such a strategy? Boom ??The roar from deep underground continues. But the underground space where the Warhammer tribe is located has become strangely stable. The rock walls on all sides are as indestructible as fine steel and remain motionless, making you feel safe. ?Xia En stayed among the crowd, intending to wait silently for the "earth ringing" to subside. ??If it was true, as Shane suspected, that the Earthly Stone came about because of him, then the Warhammer Tribe would have blocked a shot for him. It would be great if we could spend it safely. However, Xia En was a little curious: "What is the so-called ground rumbling?" The dwarf next to him also knew about Bronzebeard''s amnesia and explained kindly. It is said that thousands of meters deep beneath our feet, there is a [Fire] that has existed since ancient times. Its size is extremely large, and it has almost infinite strength and lifespan. Some people say that the reason why our world is called [Ghana] is because of it! Its name is [Ghana]! Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. ??Although he has only explored a very small area of ??the [Forge Secret Realm] now, he still doesnt know how big this world is. But just imagining a creature that can be directly named after a world is enough to understand how terrifying it is. So, the earths ringing is actually its Thats right. The dwarf beside him nodded and continued: "When [Gana] moves or breathes, there will be a phenomenon of earth ringing." However, because [Ghana] is too big. Sometimes, maybe it just moves its head, or it may cause ground rumbling in a local area. The current earthquake is actually relatively small-scale. The truly terrifying earthquake is when [Gana] turns over... When he said this, the dwarf couldn''t help but murmured with obvious fear on his face. Such a thundering sound has only occurred twice in the history that has been handed down. After hearing these words, Xia En learned more about the harsh living conditions in the [Forge Secret Realm]. In such an underground space, the lethality caused by the roar of the earth can only be described as terrifying. It is hard to imagine how the first dwarves who migrated to the [Forge Secret Realm] survived such a disaster. The dwarves'' furnace tactics were obviously forced to develop after disaster after disaster. Thinking of this, Xia En sighed softly: "It''s really amazing." Whats so great about it? ??The dwarf next to him was a little puzzled and muttered in a low voice: "It''s just to survive." ??While Xia En and the dwarf were chatting casually, the violent vibrations coming from deep underground finally began to subside. The faces of many dwarves also showed smiles of surviving the disaster. Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake was not too high this time, and there were no casualties in the Warhammer tribe. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the dwarves who are used to seeing life and death. Just suddenly. Boom! ?Another very close and loud roar exploded in everyone''s ears. ?Above the dwarves, thick cracks suddenly appeared on the rock wall that had seemed indestructible before. Almost in the blink of an eye, these cracks quickly connected together until they spread to the entire rock wall. The next moment. ?The hard rock wall continued to collapse in front of everyone, and the gravel fell one after another. Fortunately, the fire blooming in the furnace was effective again, turning into an invisible barrier to protect the dwarves. ?Xia En thought it was another wave of ground rumblings that suddenly hit. ??But through the hole in the rock formation above, he saw an extremely huge claw, and... an eye with a crimson vertical pupil! ??Not only Xia En, but all the dwarves also saw this behemoth in an instant and exclaimed in surprise. That, thats... Its the Lizard King! Damn it, it must have been woken up by the rumbling of the ground! Obviously, the dwarves are no strangers to this creature named [Fire Lizard King]. Some dwarves have even come into direct contact with itbut that is usually when the [Lemon King] is sleeping. In fact, the appearance of [Fire Lizard King] is just a coincidence. ??It was sleeping peacefully in the cave above, but was suddenly awakened by a rumble of the ground. It just so happened that it landed near the Warhammer tribe. ?And now that Im awake, I have to eat something. Just then, it smelled the breath of living creatures again, raised its paws, and dug a big hole. At this time, how could [King Lizard] not enjoy the food that was "sent to his door"? In the crowd, Xia En looked serious. He did not think that the appearance of this big lizard was a coincidence. The ground rumbling before is indeed just the beginning, the real danger is yet to come! At this time. The [Fierce Lizard King] couldnt wait to reach out his claws, trying to grab the dwarf below and swallow it directly into his mouth. ?Its claws are extremely large and can only fit through the large hole above. Immediately afterwards, the sharp claws of [King Lizard] hit the barrier condensed by the secret power of the furnace, making a muffled sound. After the collision, the faces of the dwarves suddenly turned pale, and their breaths became a little sluggish. Compared to the ground roar coming from deep underground, such a close attack is more difficult to resist. People can even see that the barriers in mid-air have undergone obvious deformations. Roar! Fierce Lizard King roared and swatted it down with one claw again. It will definitely eat the meat inside this "turtle shell" today! Bang! Bang! Bang! ?In each collision, the secret power barrier becomes lighter and lighter, and the texture on the surface of the furnace becomes darker and darker. The fire began to dissipate. The mood of despair gradually spread among the dwarves. Some fragile dwarves even began to sob softly. Facing the [Fire Lizard], they can still find ways to hunt it, but against the [Fire Lizard King], they have no way to deal with it. This is the gap in absolute strength. But suddenly at this moment. One of the dwarves stood up and walked out of the mysterious power barrier. ??Hope couldn''t help but widen his eyes: "Bronzebeard, what do you want to do?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 281 The special features of [Secret Power of the Void] Chapter 281 The special features of [The Secret Power of the Void] The figure walking out from the dwarves was naturally Xia En. Its just that neither the patriarch Hope nor his former friend Kull can understand what he wants to do at this time. Fight this [Fierce Lizard King]? What a joke! ? ?Only one [Fire Lizard King] will be born for every hundred [Fire Lizards], and the strength gap between the dwarves and it can hardly be made up by quantity. That''s why Hope chose this almost humiliating tactic of shrinking to fight the enemy. In fact, what Hope is doing now is nothing more than hoping to consume as much of the [Lemon King]''s physical strength as possible before the Warhammer Tribe''s furnace is destroyed. Then, after the secret power barrier is broken, more dwarf warriors can escape. Or, the [Fierce Lizard King] was so tired that he no longer wanted to chase the scattered tribesmen. ?Such a tactic is certainly very pessimistic and ugly, and is bound to kill most of the same race. But at least this will allow some tribesmen to survive and allow the Warhammer tribe to continue! It can be said that this is the best option that Hope can think of. But now, Bronzebeard actually got out from under the protection of the furnace alone? ?? Could it be that his brain not only lost his memory after the collision with the [Fire Lizard], but was directly damaged? ?Shocked and shocked, Hope finally valued this young and brave warrior of the Warhammer tribe, so he shouted loudly. Bronzebeard, come back! ?Not just him, the other dwarves also anxiously tried to dissuade him. You are no match for [Lizard King]! Bronzebeard, you will die! However, Xia En never changed his expression in response to these dissuasion that were doubtful, surprising, or incomprehensible. ??He just raised the sledgehammer in his hand that was longer than his own body, pointed at the [Fire Lizard King] above the cave, and shouted. Beasts, come and fight! For a moment, the cave fell into a brief silence. Looking at this scene, the dwarves couldn''t help but be stunned. Even though they had vaguely guessed what Bronzebeard wanted to do before, when such a scene actually appeared in front of them, it still gave the dwarves an extremely strong impact. They really didnt know whether to call this behavior heroic or reckless. However, while feeling ridiculous and unbelievable, the dwarves inevitably felt a trace of tragedy and respect in their hearts. ?Like looking at the fool challenging the windmill in some distant, made-up story. In the crowd, Kull stared blankly at the lonely dwarf. He couldn''t understand why the amnesiac Bronzebeard would do such a thing. But he couldn''t understand even more. The opportunity he had been waiting for had just arrived, and his biggest competitor was about to die. ?But why cant I feel happy at all? In fact, the reason why Xia En took action is actually very simple ?This disaster started because of him, so it should be ended by him! at the same time. The [Fierce Lizard King] above the cave also looked at Xia En, with human emotions flashing in his eyes. ?Creatures of this level have already possessed a certain degree of wisdom, and [Fire Lizard King] is no exception. ?Although it could not understand the words of the tiny dwarf below, the hostility of the other party was clearly evident from its provocative movements. ?However, [Fire Lizard King]s first reaction was not anger, but curiosity. Because in its impression, these reptile-like dwarfs should clearly be afraid of themselves to death. Sometimes just a look can scare the **** out of them. But now, there is actually a dwarf who dares to step out of their "turtle shell" and provoke himself? The mentality of [Fire Lizard King] is probably like that of a person walking on the road. When he sees an ant that usually avoids him, he suddenly stops in front of him and makes some weird actions. Compared with anger, I am definitely more surprised. After being surprised, a touch of greed gradually appeared in the huge pupils of [Lizard King]. It was awakened by the rumble of the ground and was already hungry. Furthermore, from the little bug below, [Fire Lizard King] felt a strong temptation inexplicably. Intuition tells it that if it eats this little bug, it may become much stronger! ?That is not just a physical strengthening, but more like the trajectory of your own destiny will change from now on, and you may even become the strongest fire in a thousand miles! Fire Lizard KingI dont know where this premonition comes from, but as a beast, it doesnt need to think so much. Phew! ?With a whistling sound that ripped apart the air, its huge claws descended from the sky and hit Xia En below. The size difference between a tiny dwarf and a giant lizard is probably even greater than that between a human and a windmill! Some timid dwarves couldn''t help but close their eyes, unwilling to see the tragic scene. But the next moment. What sounded in the cave was not the sound of copper beards being crushed into flesh, but a sound like gold and iron! ?Hope''s eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at the field. ??I saw Bronzebeard, who was dozens of times smaller than [Fire Lizard King], using that sledgehammer to block the sharp claws of [Fire Lizard King]. ??Although Bronzebeard''s body took a few steps back, it even plowed a deep ravine on the ground. But if you resist, you have resisted! This means that even if there is a gap in power between the two, the gap is not widened too much. ?Hope was shocked and couldn''t help but feel a little confused. When did Bronzebeards strength become so great? At this time, Xia En in the field had no extra thoughts to care about the eyes of others. The first time he fought against [Fire Lizard King], he judged the strength level of the opponent Level 5! Even Xia En did not expect that his first battle with an existence of the same level after being promoted to the fifth level would be in this unfamiliar [Furnace Secret Realm]. ??If it were in a normal state, Xia En could certainly easily crush this fifth-level [Fierce Lizard King]. After all, when he was only at the fourth level, he had already shown enough combat power to fight against the fifth level. ?But at this time, Xia En is inhabiting the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer", and the combat power he can exert is undoubtedly greatly reduced. So that, in this collision, Xia En noticed that many muscles in the body were damaged. The good news is. Xia Ens [Projection Body] can be like an adhesive, maintaining the stability of this body. ??Moreover, the closer his connection to this body becomes, the greater the power he can exert. ?However, this way of maintaining stability obviously has its limits. ??When the physical body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" was completely destroyed, Xia En could only use [Projection Body] to quickly defeat [Lizard King], and then left [The Furnace Secret Realm] in despair. Intuition told him that this was by no means the best choice. Giving up the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer" is the second best thing. Xia En just had a hunch... Once your [Projection Body] is exposed more and more times, the world''s malice from [The Furnace Secret Realm] will become more and more turbulent and direct! So, what Xia En is trying to do now is to defeat the [Fierce Lizard King] in front of him with the body of "Bronzebeard"! After a brief collision. ?Xia En''s eyes were focused, he jumped up and flew towards the knees of [Fierce Lizard King]. The hammer in his hand cut through the air, making a frightening roar, and hit the relatively fragile joints of the big lizard hard. Since time traveling to the present, Xia En has accumulated a lot of experience in fighting large prey. He clearly understood that if he wanted to kill such a big guy, he had to attack the opponent''s vital points. Joints, throat, heart Due to the height difference, [Fire Lizard King]s knees are undoubtedly the best target. ?At the same time, this will also bring Shane closer to other vital points of this behemoth. On the other hand ?Shaan felt that the eye looking down at him was very annoying to him. So, he wants this big lizard to kneel down! Roar! ! The moment the hammer hit his knee, [Lizard King] suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. ?The entire underground space trembled because of this roar, as if it triggered another miniature earthquake. But before that, Xia En also heard the sound of broken bones. ?Even though the skeleton of [Lizard King] is extremely close to steel, the hammer in Xia En''s hand has been tempered in the furnace many times. ?In terms of hardness alone, it is definitely not inferior to the bones of [Fire Lizard King]. The most important thing is that Xia En injected his [Secret Power of the Void] into it. ??Yes, after being unable to use his always invincible physical fitness, Shane has another secret weapon that he has just mastered The secret power of transformation after being promoted to the fifth level! This secret power is extremely pure and extremely powerful. ??When it used Xia En''s hammer to embed itself into the body of the [Fat Lizard King], it immediately changed beyond Xia En''s expectations. In an instant. ?This secret power divided into countless small swimming fish, galloping unscrupulously in [Fire Lizard King]''s body. Every gallop is cutting into this huge body, eroding and assimilating the secret power of the [Fierce Lizard King]! An inappropriate metaphor. The [Secret Power of the Void] injected by Xia En is like a special virus. In order to fight against this virus, [Lizard King]''s body had to stir up the secret power in his body to suppress the spread of the virus. But at the same time, this will also lead to chaos in the secret power within its body. Such chaos itself will undoubtedly greatly weaken the combat power of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] actually has such an effect? Even Xia En was surprised by such a sudden change and murmured to himself. It seems that it is more mysterious than I thought. ? No matter what, this change is ultimately a good thing for the current war situation. The knees of [Fire Lizard King] kept shaking, and there was a vague tendency to lose balance. ?The emotion in those scarlet eyes finally changed from contempt to magma-like rage. ?It never thought that it would actually be injured by such an ant! ?Moreover, the constant numbness and stiffness in the knee also proves that this does not seem to be an ordinary injury. ?That kind of gloomy and dark power even makes [Fire Lizard King] feel faintly afraid deep in his heart. Thats A power that should not belong to this world! Roar! roared again, trying to suppress the fear in his heart with anger. However, at this moment, the tiny figure had crawled along its limbs in front of him! ??Xia En will naturally not miss the perfect opportunity created by the attack just now. ?His stature is short but fast, like a ghost, walking through the scales of [Fat Lizard King] that exudes high temperature. Just a few seconds. Xia En then crossed over the large hole dug by the [Fierce Lizard King] and came to the upper underground space, facing this behemoth head-on. His next target is the eyes of [Fire Lizard King]. However, just when Xia En jumped up again, the big lizard''s frightened and angry eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cunning that only humans can have. Immediately afterwards, a tumor on the top of its head quickly heated up and expanded, bursting out with bright and blazing fire. And this ray of fire came directly towards Xia En! ?The temperature of the flame is incredibly high, as if it can burn through everything. Obviously, this was an unexpected ambush. This [Fierce Lizard King] used his extremely high level of intelligence and acting skills to deceive Xia En''s eyes and make him jump into this trap. ?However, even if this beam of light hits, it will only force Xia En into the second stage. So, although there was surprise in Xia En''s eyes, there was no fear. But at this moment. The long and loud knocking sound sounded again. A powerful and heavy secret power quickly enveloped him. Without having to think about it, Shane realized that this was the Warhammer Tribes melting pot strategy. ??Those are the dwarves below, providing him with support. This discovery surprised him. ??Xia En originally thought that as a "stowaway", he should not be able to use the secret power blessing of the Warhammer tribe. But now, what happened to him changed his perception. ?Furthermore, Xia En soon realized that the key factor that allowed him to successfully accept this secret power was the [Secret Power of the Void] he possessed. His secret power was continuously and rapidly adjusted, transforming into a state very similar to that of other dwarves. Suddenly, as if some kind of code had been deciphered, it naturally merged with it! In fact. Such a situation happened once not long ago when Xia En broke through the [World Barrier]. ??But this still brought a lot of shock to Xia En. ?This phenomenon doesnt mean that his [Void Secret Power] can imitate almost all secret powers. Not just the [Seven Seas World], but also the secret power in all [Secret Realms]? Furthermore, since it can be imitated. ?So... can it be assimilated and swallowed? All-encompassing and ever-changing. Im afraid, this is the truly terrifying part of [Secret Power of the Void]. Xia En silently buried these conjectures in his heart, because...the battle is not over yet! The shadow formed by the furnace blocks the incoming flames. ??Taking this opportunity, Xia En let out a roar from deep in his chest, burst out with all his strength, activated the war hammer in his hand, and slammed into the eyeball of [King Lizard]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Click! The moment the war hammer came into contact with the eyeball, a crisp and clear cracking sound suddenly came out. It was like a hammer hitting a flat mirror, shattering Shane''s reflection in the mirror. The broken lens flew out mixed with blood. Roar roared again and closed his eyes in pain. ?For a creature of its size, damage to its eyeballs is not really a fatal injury. But this time, it felt mortal danger again. The source is the dark secret power transmitted by the hammer! ?That kind of weird secret power is as small and annoying as the dwarf in front of you, but just as difficult and dangerous. After entering the body of [Fire Lizard King], this secret power was like turning into countless ferocious ants, constantly gnawing at its flesh, flesh, secret power, and penetrating deeper. You must know that the eyeball has a large number of nerves gathered in it. More importantly, it is too close to the brain! So close that this secret power can penetrate into its brain tissue in only ten seconds. It is really hard to imagine what would happen to me if that kind of thing happened. In normal times, [Fire Lizard King] would naturally have a lot of time to slowly wear away this secret power. But right now, there is that hateful, despicable dwarf in front of it! According to common sense, you should crush this little bug into a pulp the first time you take out your claws. But it failed to do so. ?The fire attack that he was proud of was also blocked by the dwarves'' hateful "tortoise shells". ??Moreover, the deep intuition told [Fierce Lizard King] that there was still a surging power in that seemingly weak and insignificant body. ?It is as vast as the sea, and it feels vaguely frightening. This also means that it will never be able to kill the opponent in a short period of time. So, [Lizard King] is afraid! Beasts have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In nature, when faced with a target that may harm itself, the first reaction of a wild animal is often to flee rather than fight. This is exactly the current situation. But he woke up from his deep sleep unexpectedly and wanted to eat a few dwarves as a tooth sacrifice. Who would have thought that they would hit such a hard rock and almost break its teeth? Now, since it cant eat any meat, it can escape, right? ?Thinking of this, [Lizard King] did not hesitate, and his strong body crashed directly into the rock wall next to him. With a "boom", the solid wall shattered. However, despite its huge size, it showed extraordinary agility and rolled directly into the hole. Upon seeing this, Xia En''s eyes brightened slightly, and he was not surprised but happy. He just wanted to get out of the sight of the dwarves. At this time, [The Lizard King]''s behavior was undoubtedly like a pillow given to him when he fell asleep. So, without thinking, Xia En followed [Lizard King] and broke into the underground tunnel with complex terrain. The many dwarves below could only watch this scene in silence. Did I read that correctly? [The Lizard King] actually escaped? It was defeated by Bronzebeard? Oh my God, Bronzebeard is still catching up with me! Am I dreaming? ??If someone had told them before today that any of their tribesmen could chase a [Fierce Lizard King], they would have thought it was nonsense. But now, such a situation is actually happening in front of the dwarves. How does this not shock them? ?Kul''s eyes widened in astonishment, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly. Beside him, the fire in Mary''s eyes gradually extinguished. In the face of absolute strength, their previous calculations seemed so ridiculous. ?? But Kuhl really couldnt understand why Bronzebeard suddenly became so strong? In the middle of the dwarf, Hope''s eyes flashed with a strange light. ? No matter what, having a powerful warrior like Bronzebeard in the Warhammer tribe is a great thing. It won''t be a big deal even if he has lost his memory. ??The amnesiac Bronzebeard can also lead the Warhammer tribe to become stronger! ?However, Hope and the other dwarves also have some small worries in their hearts. ?? Can Bronzebeard really come back safely after rushing out so recklessly? The answer to this question, no one knows. ! Boom! Boom! The dwarves could only hear the roar coming from the rock wall one after another, and causing violent vibrations one after another. That was the sound of Xia Ens hammer colliding with the body of [Fire Lizard King]. ?The intensity of this shaking was no weaker than the previous ground rumbling. ?Cracks continue to appear on the rock walls in the distance, making these already unstable structures once again on the verge of collapse. ?Even, not only the area where the Warhammer tribe is located, but also the territories of other dwarves and [Fire] have been affected by this. ? Many [Fire Types] were trembling and hiding in the gaps in the rock formations, hoping that they would not be affected by this battle. Even if you can''t see the scene of one person and one lizard fighting, people can still imagine how dangerous and terrifying that scene is. In the Warhammer tribe, a dwarf murmured in shock: "I still can''t believe that this was actually caused by a dwarf and [King Lizard]." ?However, these shocking sounds are fading away. At the same time, this also means that the Bronze Beard is moving away from them. I dont know how long it has been. ?This fierce battle, which was no worse than the roar of the earth, finally stopped. The brief silence returned to the underground cave, with only the lava mines in the rock walls emitting a quiet light. Ahem! ?Xia En coughed violently and coughed up a few mouthfuls of black blood, looking extremely fragile. However, in front of him, the huge [Fire Lizard King] had fallen into the broken rocks. Both of its eyes have been smashed, otherwise, there should be unbelievable fear remaining in the eyeballs. ?This big guy''s body surface is covered with wounds, and even those smooth and flat scales have become pitted. But the real fatal injury was in the brain of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] pierced directly there and dealt a fatal blow to it. Have to admit it. ??It is quite difficult for Xia En to kill this big guy without entering the [Projection Body] state. By this time, "Bronze Beard"''s body had become tattered, with countless bones broken and almost no muscle intact. ??If it weren''t for the bonding effect of [Projection Body], this body would probably fall apart immediately. In this case, Xia Ens lips curved into a smile. Although it cost a lot. But in the end, he won! Xia En raised his head and looked at the rock formations above, as if looking at the will of the [Secret Sea]. The silent smile showed his meaning. This time, he won. And next time, he will win! Unfortunately, at this moment, the [Ship Soul Power] on the panel has almost dropped to 0. This shows that Xia En is about to end his dive in the [Secret Sea]. Before officially leaving, Shane still has some necessary finishing work to do. For example, find a very hidden cave and hide in it. Another example is leaving a [Submarine Anchor Point] here. However, when Xia En left the [Submarine Anchor Point], he discovered that this [Anchor Point] seemed not to be somewhere in the underground space, but in... the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer"! ?This discovery surprised Xia En. After thinking for a while, he probably guessed the reason why this happened. [Submarine Anchor Point] is a coordinate that Xia En left in the [Furnace Secret Realm], which is also equivalent to a part of his "extraterrestrial demon". ??If this coordinate remains, it will definitely continue to pose a danger to the [Furnace Secret Realm]. So, the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely clean it up and exclude it. For this reason, [Submarine Anchor Point] needs to be camouflaged. The aboriginal body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is undoubtedly the best choice. ?Aware of this, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. He was originally worried about how to keep his status as "Bronze Beard". But now it seems that this is not a problem at all. As for how to protect this dead body from decay? When Xia En controlled this body previously, he noticed that when the "Secret Power of the Void" flows in the body of "Bronze Beard", this body maintains a strange and weak activity. ??Although the maintenance time of this activity is limited, there is obviously no problem in holding on until Shane''s next [submersible]. After doing all this, Xia En closed his eyes quietly... Submarine is over! You have explored the "Secret Realm of the Furnace" and completed a secret sea walk! Career compatibility +5%! Please choose your trophy! 1.The soil of the furnace secret realm 2.Solid war hammer 3.The body of the Lizard King In the captain''s room, Xia En opened his eyes, feeling a mysterious and mysterious feeling in his heart. ?To put it bluntly, he has a somewhat deeper understanding of the secret profession of [Secret Sea Walker]. ?This kind of understanding does not come from talking on paper, but from a practical personal practice. So it seems particularly clear and real. Anyone who practices the secret path that is the core of his or her profession will be able to go further on the secret path. ??The reason why Xia En was able to advance by leaps and bounds and continuously break through the ranks in such a short period of time is probably related to the fact that he has always been on the right path. After a moment, Xia En took a long breath and remembered all the insights in his heart. So, is this what it feels like to explore another world? Not bad! After a brief sigh of emotion, Xia En walked to the deck and decisively chose option 3. The next moment. The huge corpse of [Fire Lizard King] appeared on the empty deck. Thanks to the fact that the [Black Swan] has been strengthened several times and its size has been greatly expanded, otherwise the deck would not be able to accommodate this [Lizard King]. There was a muffled sound of "dong", and the water level of [Black Swan] sank downwards. ?The crew quickly realized this change and walked out of the cabin. Looking at the [Fat Lizard King] appearing on the deck, the crew members couldn''t help but look surprised. ??Joy was surprised: "Where did this big lizard come from?" Fei Ya also looked up and down curiously and murmured: "In my impression, there has never been such a creature in the Seven Seas." Xia En smiled slightly and said: "This is my trophy in a [secret realm]." Here, help me, help me break it up. With the help of everyone, this [Fierce Lizard King] was quickly dismantled. Ann is a good hand at doing this kind of thing, she is careful and patient. Not long after, bones, flesh and blood, lava minerals... were all placed in categories. The crew were once again surprised when they saw the unusual physiological structure in its body. After all, this is a creature that should not exist on the Seven Seas at all. ??Moreover, it doesnt look like a product of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Its like... coming from another world! ?Although Xia En had already given them enough surprises, the appearance of the [Fierce Lizard King] still made the captain''s image even more mysterious. Xia En didnt explain much, he just looked at the huge crystal heart of [Lizard King]. Lava Ore (Silver Grade) Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: The specialty ore of "The Furnace Secret Realm", the heart of "Fire Seed", contains the unique secret power of fire. When used for forging, it will have a wonderful effect and give the forged items a random status. The old furnace is on fire again. Hmm? Silver level? ?Xia En raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were different ratings for [Fire Type] in the Warhammer tribe. The ordinary [Fire Lizard] is at the bronze level, while the [Fire Lizard King] is at the silver level. It seems that the lava deposits in their bodies also follow this classification standard. But, just the silver level is the fifth level..." ?Xia En was secretly speechless, once again realizing the danger of the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm]. After reading the description, he immediately thought of Xian Ge who knew [Fire Forging Technique], so he shouted. Xian Ge, come out! Xiange, who had grown a lot bigger, flew out and responded energetically: "Yes, Captain!" ?With Xia Ens unremitting efforts, Xian Ges training is on the right track, greatly improving its obedience. ?But at this moment, as soon as Xian Ge appeared, his eyes were attracted by the group of red crystals. Captain, what is this? ?Xia Ens reaction to Xian Ge was a little surprising. Because he actually saw a strong desire in the eyes of this little dragon. You must know that although Xian Ge has a female imp personality, she is indeed a bronze dragon among ancient dragons, and she is actually proud of herself. ?Its vision is extremely high, and it rarely desires anything. But now, Xiange looked at the lava mine eagerly and said, "Can I have a taste?" I feel that if I can eat this crystal, I might be able to grow faster! ?Xia En frowned slightly and had a guess. Could it be that...[The Furnace Secret Realm] is also related to the ancient dragon in [Seven Seas World]? Thinking is thinking, Xian Ge said so, Xia En naturally handed over the lava mine. ?With a "ouch", Xinge chewed up a large piece of the huge crystal. But it was not satisfied and continued to feast. ?Just when Xian Ge was enjoying the lava mine feast. The breath coming from the sea breeze suddenly changed slightly. ?Xia En couldn''t help but squint his eyes and look into the distance. I saw a white fog appearing in front of the [Black Swan]. Suddenly, it is the [Misty Sea Area] that we have been away from for a long time! (End of this chapter) Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the three religions After making these shocking remarks, the strong obsession that kept this soldier persisting until now finally dissipated. ?This body could no longer maintain a stable structure and melted like a wax statue, turning into a puddle of dark red viscous sludge. From this mud, biological tissues such as teeth, blood vessels, eyeballs, and half-melted internal organs can be vaguely seen. ??As Cameron stared at it, it was still expanding and contracting slightly, and making a hoarse and low sound from a certain part of its structure. Weall died there ?It kept repeating this sentence, like raving after falling into a frenzy, which made those who heard it feel creepy. Lieutenant Colonel Cameron! Please stay away from it as soon as possible! On the shore, the deep-sea priests issued another warning and looked at Cameron with worried eyes. Even though the contact was only for a few seconds, the lieutenant colonel was at risk of contamination. This time, Cameron did not insist on having his own way. Instead, he took off his military hat, saluted solemnly to the mud, and whispered to himself. Your sacrifice is far from meaningless. May your souls find rest in the deep sea. Soon, Cameron cooperated and returned to the port. ??It''s just that at this time, the soldiers and priests kept a safe distance from him and did not approach rashly. This is the correct procedure for service members who have been exposed to contaminants. After this, Cameron will be transferred to the church and undergo isolation observation and a series of mental evaluations. Cameron had already anticipated this. But right now, what is more important is to inform the big people who can really decide the fate of the Federation with the information brought back by the "Private". So, Cameron said to the priest: "Please give me a pen and paper. I have important military information to report." The next day. After applying all aspects of "divine purification" and making sufficient preparations. Members of the Public Security Bureau began a formal exploration of the "Private". When they stepped onto the deck of the Private, the scene on the ship shocked everyone. There is no one alive on this dilapidated warship. All that is left is a dark, silt-like substance. ?They are scattered all over the deck, mast, and cabins of the "Private". They are layered in layers and covered in every corner, crawling slowly and strangely. ?This kind of mud is alive! ?This discovery makes everyone who sets foot on the "Private" feel a little scared. ?Among these mud-like things, you can occasionally see one or two humanoid monsters with swollen and deformed bodies that do not look like soldiers at all. ?After the soldiers untied the clothes of the humanoid monsters, they discovered that their flesh and blood seemed to be "growing" together with the clothes. ?There are also large and small, incomprehensible wounds on his body. In some cabins, there is still a little white fibrous moisture, which looks like unformed neural structures. ?After the investigation, the pastor of the Deep Sea Church came to an incredible inference ?This filthy sludge is none other than the crew of the "Private"! They encountered some unimaginable and terrifying enemy, and ended up taking this ugly, filthy form. Some fragments of clothing and identity plates found in the mud also prove this point. No one knows what the crew of the Private went through before they died. But just from the remaining emotions in the mud, we can also get a glimpse of the cruel truth. The investigation of the "Private" alarmed the soldiers and priests. ??Above the Seven Seas, what existence is there that dares to attack the warships of the Federation Navy? ??Moreover, in this cruel way of killing the entire crew and leaving no body intact? How can this not make them angry? The strange thing is that after the members of the Public Security Bureau handed over the investigation report. ?Far from starting an investigation immediately, the superiors issued a gag order to all those involved in the incident, prohibiting them from spreading relevant information. Key figures in the investigation, such as Lieutenant Colonel Cameron and the leader Storm Priest, even suffered confinement. Speaking of "isolation", it actually means putting them under house arrest. In fact, it is not difficult to understand why the federation did this. The return of the "Private" is related to the "King" that was sent out to perform a secret mission a few days ago. The information about the "Second Great Flood" and "Prophecy of Doom" obviously cannot be widely disseminated in the Federation, otherwise it will cause great panic. A certain degree of information blockade is naturally necessary. However, it was beyond everyones expectations. On the third day after the "Private" returned to Hong Kong, rumors about the "second world-destroying flood" spread like wildfire on the "Liu Li Island". No one knows where the news first came from. But by the time federal officials found out, the situation was already out of control. People knew about the return of the "Private" and the trap of the "King". Even the soldiers last words were known to the people. ?This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Federation. After all, that is the [King]! It can be said that it is a warship that embodies the latest and most advanced technology of the Federation. Among the warships currently in service, there are only a few large ships with a tonnage exceeding the "King". Even the "King" sank in this operation, which in itself showed the seriousness of the matter. As the central island of the Federation, information and intelligence spread so fast on [Liu Li Island]. In less than half a day, the spread of rumors was unstoppable. It was like a bomb was dropped on the Seven Seas. For a time, people who knew the news couldn''t help but panic, and rumors spread. Compared to this big news, the confrontation between the three major forces some time ago seems to be just a small matter. A tiny secret place that few people know about. In the chaotic space, three powerful consciousnesses descended one after another. The first thing that comes is an existence that seems to be composed of codes, numbers and graphics. They seem to flash rapidly in the form of some kind of matrix. They seem to be irregular but also seem to contain some kind of "reason", emitting a cold, rational glimmer. After arriving first, this consciousness remained silent, as if waiting for something. Soon, a dazzling light came. His arrival seemed to illuminate this strange space, bringing light and heat that could not be ignored. What finally appeared was a deep and deep darkness. ?Just staring at him was like staring into the deep sea with a depth of tens of thousands of meters. It''s like...being stared at by some existence under the deep sea. Very good, everyone seems to be here. ?The will that exuded a glimmer of reason was the first to speak: "I think you all know the prophecy of the ''second world-destroying flood''." In this case, will you continue to fight against me [the Truth Society]? It was the important figures of each of the three major forces who brought their consciousness to this secret realm. Under normal circumstances, this negotiation would not have occurred at all, and the three major forces would just fight each other until they could no longer fight. However, the spread of this prophecy caused the attitudes of the three parties to waver a little. Although the metaphors of gods are very important, it is undeniable that not all believers are unscrupulous madmen. They live in this world after all, and there is no way they can just watch this world being flooded again. ?The attitude has been softened, but the hatred has been forged and cannot be easily resolved. represents the will of [Hui Jiao] and snorted coldly. Perhaps this prophecy was leaked by people from you [Truth Society], right? What a great idea. Do you want to take this opportunity to take a breather? The light group of [Truth Society] denied: "I don''t know what you are talking about." Besides, compared with the losses, its not easy for both of you, right? If we continue to fight, will you be able to hold on? ?At this moment, the black shadow of the [Netherworld Sect] who had previously remained silent suddenly spoke sadly. Then, you might as well give it a try. Lets see who cant hold on first. ?His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of madness. Hearing this, the representative of the [Truth Society] cursed secretly in his heart. These crazy people who believe in the ancient gods! Compared to the [Hui Sect], during this period, the [Truth Society] was more troubled by the attacks from the [Youshu Sect]. No matter what, the [Billions of Glory Sect] is an orthodox religion from the previous era, and its behavior is relatively upright and upright. But [Youshu Sect] is different. ?This secret sect that believes in the ancient gods of the deep sea is itself composed of a group of guys who are polluted by the deep sea. There are even some outright lunatics among them. ?Methods such as cursing, poisoning, and contamination are even more readily available, causing great trouble to the [Truth Society]. ?Furthermore, what depresses the members of the [Truth Society] the most is that they have no idea how they got into trouble with the Nether Sect. ?It was obvious that they deliberately avoided each other on weekdays. In fact, the [Truth Society] also felt extremely helpless regarding [Huijiao]s reason for declaring war. Its actually an oracle from [Lord of Radiance]! ?This cant help but make some members of the [Truth Society] wonder whether the outside **** is aware of some of their research. Only then will the oracle come. Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, the [Truth Society] representative softened his attitude and said. Continuing to fight like this will not be beneficial to all three of us. Since no one wants to see the second great flood coming, lets do this. Each of the three parties will send a group of people to the far north to investigate the whole story of this incident. The representative of [Truth Society] paused and continued. At the same time, its also a competition. Which side plays the greatest role in preventing the flood from coming, will be the ultimate winner. The loser needs to tell the other two parties the real names and identities of the fifty core members of their respective sects. In this world, the true name itself has a special effect. For forces like the [Truth Society], [Hui Jiao] and [Yu Sui Sect], knowing the true name is equivalent to controlling the life and death of those people. The list of these fifty people can determine the final outcome of the three parties to a large extent. It is worth mentioning. The words of [Truth Society] made [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] also become targets of competition. This is obviously a naked conspiracy. [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] have different beliefs, which is an irresolvable contradiction in itself. One is an alien **** outside this world. The other is an ancient **** who sleeps in the deep sea. Neither would mind using this list to weaken the other if given the chance. After a brief hesitation, the consciousness of the great priest of [Hui Jiao] responded. "Can." Then, during the period of competition, we shall have a temporary truce. A hoarse voice also came from the dark shadow of [Youshu Religion]: "In this case, we will swear an oath to the three gods under the witness of the secret sea." Not long after, the three parties swore an oath together after agreeing on it. The oath is fulfilled. The representatives of the [Truth Society] could not help but breathe a little sigh of relief. These days, the [Truth Society] has been at war with two parties at the same time, and the pressure it has received is naturally extremely high. The most critical thing is that the plan they have been preparing for has been postponed and delayed due to this inexplicable war, and the progress has stalled. The reason why the [Truth Society] wants to have temporary peace talks is probably to delay the time. The reason why [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] chose to have a truce is because... During this period, the price they paid was also quite heavy. Only after the actual war, the two esoteric sects realized that the [Truth Society] actually hid such a powerful force. ??Those scholars working in the Federal Research Institute and researchers hidden in various islands may not be very strong in frontal combat, but they always have many weird methods that are difficult to guard against and unpredictable. ?According to some captured members of the [Truth Society], a "truth network" has been established between them using special relics to communicate. The speed of dissemination of knowledge and technology has reached an unprecedented peak with the blessing of this "truth network". It also gave members of the two major esoteric sects a deep understanding of the power of science and technology. ?As the losses intensified, some voices of opposition emerged within both [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect]. Especially during this period, the [Black Light] never appeared in the [Glory Crystal Mirror] again. Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the "oracle". Even Archbishop Musa was a little suspicious. Some people in the [Yousui Sect] feel that what Priest William heard in the ten thousand-meter deep sea may not be the teachings of the [Yousui Descendants]. ??It could also be that he was hallucinating. Or maybe, its not [Yousuis descendant] at all. In short, for one reason or another, the two esoteric sects cannot be as resolute as before the war. ?This is why the secret peace talks came about. at the same time. On the vast sea. [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] were traveling in tandem. ?At this moment, a ship with sails decorated with jet-black flames was speeding towards the [Black Swan]. (End of this chapter) Chapter 272 【Salary King】 Chapter 272 [Salary King] This speeding ship has an obvious old-era style. Like a warship sailing from a previous era. The severely damaged paint on the hull and the outdated bow structure seem to be silently telling the vicissitudes of life it has experienced. ?Hung above the mottled and rusted deck, a flag with a black streamer pattern hangs. Dang! clang! clang! ??The urgent and nervous alarm bell sounded on the [Black Swan], causing all the crew members to step onto the deck one after another. ??Joy took the lead in discovering the menacing old warship and issued a warning. ?During Xia En''s retreat, Joey was not idle, and successfully broke through to the fourth level after difficult training. Now she can even sense the reaction of secret power in a sea area. That''s when I noticed the arrival of the strange ship for the first time. Whats the origin of that ship? Feiya boarded the deck and stared at the old warship with her beautiful eyes, her expression quite serious. Is it coming for us? ?Nowadays, the [Black Swan] is not the unknown boat it once was. ? Judging from the appearance alone, the [Black Swan] is already considered a big guy in the ship, like a giant beast crawling on the sea, which may open its terrifying mouth and launch an attack at any time. ?Those gleaming main guns and the dark and thick horns are not easy to mess with at first glance. Not to mention, as time goes by, the news that [City of Giant Trees] was uprooted gradually fermented in [Sea of ??Annihilation]. It adds a layer of mystery to [Black Swan]. Enough to make ordinary ships frightened. Not to mention being an enemy, even ships that dare to approach it are very rare. Even during Xia En''s retreat, Joey and other crew members cleaned up several pirate ships they encountered, purifying the sea environment and maintaining navigation order. ??It would be okay if this strange-looking warship didn''t recognize them. ??If the Black Swan is recognized, it will charge forward without hesitation. ?Things became troublesome instead. ??Joy frowned and said, "I have never heard of a ship flying such a flag." Furthermore, looking at its style, it doesnt look like an official federal warship. Xian Ge looked at the pattern that looked like black flowing fire and murmured. I seem to have seen this kind of warship somewhere. It is...the symbol of a certain countrys navy. ?Looking at the ship that was getting closer and closer, Joey said with a slightly anxious tone: "Don''t worry about its origin." How should we deal with it now? Should we just shoot it? To be honest, Joey was a little undecided. ??If it is a pirate ship, she will definitely fire before the opponent reaches a safe distance. But now, the warship''s enemy is unknown and its intentions are unknown, so Joey doesn''t know what to do. Actually, not only Joey, but also other crew members have similar feelings. In the past, when Sean was on the ship, they didn''t have to think about this kind of problem at all. They only had to obey the captain''s orders. ?But when this kind of decision-making power really falls on themselves, everyone discovers that making the decision itself sometimes requires enough courage and wisdom. ?At times like this, the crew members cant help but have an idea ???????????????????????????????????? ?However, hesitation was hesitation. Under the approach of the unknown warship, the crew was forced to make a decision. After thinking about it, Fei Ya said: "Shout first. If the other party still insists on having its own way and insists on getting close to us, we will start a war directly!" ?Joy nodded and said, "Just do it." But at this moment. It doesnt have to be so troublesome. A deep voice sounded from the cabin. ?Everyone looked towards the direction from which the sound came. ??The extremely tall Yan Yan, wearing a black robe, stepped onto the deck. His appearance had not changed at all. He was still masculine and handsome, and he was familiar to the crew. ?However, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer looked like a friendly and sunny boy next door, but suddenly became distant and majestic, carrying an unspeakable majesty. It is a temperament belonging to a superior person, as if he has the power of life and death. It is also like the spirit of a king who has opened up a kingdom. ?The overwhelming momentum almost choked everyone''s breath. Even the black robe, like a cloak or a cloak, rustled in the sea breeze and was majestic. ??Yan Yan is still standing on the deck of the [Black Swan]. ?But at this moment, the crew felt that he seemed to be standing extremely far away from them. Can no longer be touched. Yan Yan ??Joy quickly realized something and said in a daze: "What do you mean by this?" At this moment, an unknown warship not far away suddenly burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami! ?Someone knelt down on the deck and shouted out the name that had been buried in his heart for a long time. ?Some people cried wildly, as if the grievances of the past were finally resolved. ?Some people are so excited that they cant help themselves, as if they are crazy. Their cheers finally converged into one voice. Salary King! Salary King! Hearing this name, Joey and others were also shocked. ??Joy murmured in disbelief: "Did I hear it correctly? They were shouting... Wang Xin''s name?" But King Xin, hasnt it already been... ?Suddenly, Joey suddenly woke up and turned to look at Yan Yan. Is this ship coming for you? Yan Yan did not speak, but the aura about him said everything. Yan Yan is the salary king? Even Fei Ya, who has become much calmer and calmer, still feels extremely ridiculous in her heart: "How could such a thing happen?" Hearing this, An''s body also trembled slightly, and his expression under the armor was shocked. Its no wonder the crew reacted this way. As the last powerful king in the old era, King Xins name has always been widely spread across the Seven Seas. Coupled with the constant excavation of the "Xinwang Treasure" and various documentary records in the underwater ruins, Xinwang''s reputation has not diminished, but is actually increasing day by day. It can be said that this salary king is a legend among legends and a king among kings! Just the fact that Xia En had come into contact with the [Xinwang Treasure] made the crew members very amazed. How could they dare to imagine that King Xin was not only alive, but also lived with them on a ship for such a long time? on the other hand. ?Joy and others also noticed Yan Yans extraordinary qualities very early. ?The kind of flame that can even ignite sea water and solid ice, the seemingly endless regeneration ability, and the characteristics of immortality... all reflect his specialness. However, Yan Yans character shown in the past was too harmless to humans and animals. ?Like a big golden retriever who is willing to help others, he is too kind and naive. So, everyone knows that Yan Yans true strength is extraordinary, and even Xia En may not be his opponent. But deep down, it is still difficult to see him as a superior and strong man. Even Xian Ge can bully him occasionally. ?However, precisely because of Yan Yans character, he is equivalent to a group favorite on the [Black Swan]. We dont say it in words, but in fact, in terms of life, we always take good care of Yan Yan. ??Joy would save the biggest pieces of fish for him while cooking. An would invite him to exercise with him using the Knights Breathing Technique. When Fei Ya was repairing the steam device on the ship, he would also call Yan Yan to let him feel the baptism of the sacred steam. Even Xian Ge likes to take Yan Yan with him to hunt in the sea. Now, suddenly someone said to the crew ?Yan Yan, whom they regarded as their companion, turned out to be the legendary King Xin! The shock among the crew members can be imagined. At this time, Xian Ge finally found some useful information from his memory and exclaimed. I remembered, that ship is the [Black Flame]! Great Yan Kingdom, [Black Flame Walker]s ship, it actually still exists on the seven seas! ?These terms are quite unfamiliar to Joey and others, but it is not difficult to guess that they must have some deep connection with King Xin. Yan Yan turned his head, glanced at Xian Ge, and said softly. It seems that there are more memories sealed in your mind than I expected. His eyes were no longer as pure and clean as before, but seemed to have a lot of chaotic impurities added to them. It was like there was a dark flame burning blazingly in the depths of his eyes. It seems that the flame will not be completely extinguished until he himself is burned up. Facing the Yan Yan at this time, Xian Ge, who had always been fearless of heaven and earth, felt some inexplicable fear in his heart. Even so, Xiange still opened her eyes wide and mustered up the courage to ask. Yan Yan, are you leaving [Black Swan]? Can you please stop leaving? I wont steal your barbecue next time. Hearing this, Yan Yans eyes softened a little. But soon, his expression became determined again, and he said seriously: "Actually, I also want to stay on the [Black Swan] and fight alongside you." You dont have to think so much, and you dont have to carry such a heavy past. But, I still have a mission that must be completed! "And if I continue on the [Black Swan], it will only drag you into it." So, I have a reason to leave. Hearing these words, the crew fell silent. Yan Yan has said so, is there really any point in forcing him to stay? At this time. ?The warship with the black flowing fire symbol has already arrived beside the [Black Swan]. ?Many crew members wearing black robes knelt down towards Yan Yan. The entire crew of [Black Flame] welcomes the return of King Xin! The faces of these crew members were all filled with enthusiasm and joy. They were once the [Black Flame Walkers] of the Great Yan Kingdom. They used a special method to survive the great flood and have continued to this day. During this period, the [Black Flame Walkers] experienced many hardships, some of which were even more painful than ordinary people could imagine. But the moment he saw the king, all his efforts in the past seemed to have meaning. ?Seeing this scene, Fei Ya and others suddenly understood. ??Yan Yan is not only carrying his past. It is also the trust and persistence of all those who support others. ?Such trust is both a boost and a shackle, forcing Yan Yan to continue on this path. ??Yan Yan turned around, faced the people of [Black Flame], and said calmly. Yes, Im back. "I will continue our unfinished business and let a spark ignite the seven seas." After saying that, his black robe lit up with an unquenchable flame, wrapping the whole person like flowing water, turning into a blazing flame giant, confronting the entire sea. Such a sight undoubtedly made the [Black Flame Walkers] feel ecstatic again. ?Their king is back! The burning flames and scorching temperature prove that this is not their illusion, but something that actually happened! Another burst of cheers echoed throughout the sea area. Its just that when the crew of the Black Swan looked at the man in the flames, they all pursed their lips and looked indifferent, feeling extremely strange. Because, that is not the Yan Yan they are familiar with. But the King of Fire who was reborn in the flames! If they had a choice, the crew members might hope that Yan Yan would always look pure and clean. King, what should we do with these people? At this time, a [Black Flame Walker] looked at the people on the boat and whispered. They obviously didnt treat you with the respect you deserved as punishment "shut up." ?The flame giant glanced at this man, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the soul. He said in the most stern tone: "They are my companions." It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future. All [Black Flame Walkers] need to be as respectful as they are to me when they see this ship and its crew. ?Although people were a little surprised by Yan Yan''s attitude, no one would disobey his wishes. The [Black Flame Walkers] responded in unison. Yes, my king! ?After giving this order, Yan Yan took another deep look at the [Black Swan], as if he wanted to imprint the ship and the people on it in his eyes. At this time. From a corner of the ship, a translucent figure suddenly floated out. Haso sleepy Vivian yawned, as if she hadn''t woken up yet. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the flame giant in front of her, and murmured in a low voice. Why have you grown so big? Its so scary. Seeing her appearance, Yan Yan''s expression changed slightly. In fact, in the past few days after recovering his memory, Yan Yan conducted detailed observations on the crew members of the [Black Swan]. But two of the crew members still gave him a feeling that he couldn''t see through it. One is the Bronze Dragon String Song. The second one is this ghost lady Vivian. ??The former, as an extinct ancient dragon on the Seven Seas, hides countless secrets. ?But even King Xin couldnt figure out why a ghost that should have dissipated long ago eluded him. Captain Shane had guessed before that you might leave, so he specifically asked me to leave you a few words. Vivian said casually: "You don''t have to take it too seriously, just listen casually." Yan Yan was slightly startled: "Captain, what did he say?" Vivian recounted in Shane''s tone: "He said, no matter you are King Salary or some other big shot, in his eyes, you will always be the big boy he met on the ice and snow island." As long as you want to come back, there will always be a place for you on the Black Swan. The mountains are high and the road is far, and the days ahead are long. Friends, take care! (End of this chapter) Chapter 273 Break through the fifth level! Hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker! 】 Chapter 273 Breaking through the fifth level! Hidden profession[Secret Sea Walker! See you again in Jianghu Yan Yan chewed these words silently, with a soft smile on his face. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he first met Xia En. ?Subsequently, Yan Yan opened his palms, and a butterfly condensed from flames gracefully fell down and landed on the Black Swan. ??The moment the butterfly came into contact with the deck, it turned into a strange mark. ??The butterfly pattern inside is still changing slightly, as if it is breathing. In the blink of an eye, the butterfly mark blended into the hull of the Black Swan and quickly disappeared. I originally thought that this separation would be an eternal farewell. Yan Yan said: "But now that I think about it, that would be too lonely." This brand contains part of my power, but it will also reconnect our destiny. Perhaps it will bring you a lot of trouble in the future. ?According to Yan Yans original idea, he would cut off contact with the [Black Swan] and no longer have any contact with him. Because with the comeback of "King Xin", there are bound to be forces from all sides who want to know about his situation, and even various enemies will come to visit him. The isolated [Black Swan] is undoubtedly an excellent entry point. To put it bluntly, compared with King Xins former enemies, [Black Swan]s current strength is still too weak. Just the aftermath of this major incident was enough to leave [Black Swan] covered in bruises. It is a wise decision to keep distance and never see each other again. ?Even Yan Yan originally planned to use some special secret technique to cut off the thread of fate between the two parties, so that other forces would not be aware of the existence of the [Black Swan]. But after hearing Xia Ens message, Yan Yan changed his mind. He doesnt want to cut off this bond and memory. ?Even though he didnt know whether such a decision was right or wrong. Yan Yan looked at everyone on the boat and said, "Please convey a few words to Captain Xia En." Until now, I still regard myself as the crew of the [Black Swan], and Mr. Shane is still my captain. The destination of my trip is the far north. Perhaps we will meet again there! After saying that, Yan Yan waved his hand, stopped staying, turned around and stepped onto the deck of the [Black Flame]. Soon, the towering bow of the [Black Flame] split the waves, the fluttering flag danced in the air, and then sailed into the distance. Everyone on board the Black Swan felt as if they were lost. ?No matter what, Yan Yan left after all. Moreover, I dont know when we will meet again. The future is always uncertain. It''s like no one expected that Yan Yan would leave today. ?This inevitably makes people feel a little depressed, as if there is a dark cloud hanging over the "Black Swan". It would be nice if Mr. Captain was here ??Joy murmured in a low voice, expressing the crew''s thoughts. Mr. Captain, how long until we can come back? In a dark, void space. ?Xia En''s "body" curled up into a ball, his consciousness was hazy, and he was half asleep and half awake. Compared to the beginning of the promotion ritual, he has become countless times weaker. Whether it is the total amount or quality of the secret power, it is consumed in this space to the point of being extremely weak. The worst part is. Xia En''s consciousness was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning. ?In the process of trying to use [Great Dark Sky] to assimilate the barrier of [Nothingness], his thinking is also being assimilated by [Nothingness]. The meaning of "emptiness" is nothing, nothing exists. Senses, memory, emotions, thoughts ?These human characteristics seem to be constantly being stripped away from Xia En. ?At a certain moment, Xia En even felt like he had become nothingness itself. ??There seems to be nothing wrong with just sinking completely into this darkness? But in the bottom of Xia En''s heart, there was always a voice reminding him. You must wake up! Your ship, your crew, are waiting for you! Your name is Shane, and you are a man destined to conquer the sea! ? Such self-hypnosis barely allowed Xia En to maintain his final rationality. Time passed by so silently. Until a certain moment. ?Xia Ens secret power seemed to have finally touched the frequency of this [emptiness], and triggered an unprecedented resonance. C ?Amid the violent vibrations, the barrier formed by [emptiness] began to disintegrate silently, and the resistance gradually dissipated. In fact, this barrier still exists. ?However, it has become a part of Xia Ens body and is no longer an obstacle. It was as if a whole new world had opened its door to Shane. Immediately afterwards, countless phantoms suddenly emerged from the boundless darkness, and chaotic fragments of light and shadow swept over like a storm, filling his mind. ??And amid this crazy fragment of information, scenes flashed through Xia Ens mind In the endless darkness of the deep sea, some kind of huge and terrifying body is slowly growing and growing. ? ?Ancient and chilling eyes look at the city-state from the deep sea. It is an indescribable ancient god, indifferently scanning the world. In the distant sky, an unimaginably huge ball of light emits dazzling light all the time, illuminating the world. One after another, the gods whose faces cannot be seen clearly were born in ignorance and lived in indescribable forms. The ancient dragon roared among the mountains. Elves dance in the forest. ?Countless races rise and fall, grow and die. This process, accelerated tens of thousands of times, seems spectacular and strange. However, as the perspective continues to zoom. Xia En saw that the place where all this happened was just a huge light bubble with a halo of light. Beyond this bubble of light is the deep and boundless deep sea. ?Countless similar light bubbles, like stars, are scattered throughout the deep sea. ?Seeing this scene, Xia En was greatly shocked, and huge waves were set off in his mind. He understood many things instantly. ?There is no doubt that this deep sea with countless stars is the [Secret Sea] that he has explored! ?In peoples conventional understanding, the [Secret Sea] is a part of this world. It is not only the source of power for many mystical practitioners, but also hides many mysterious [Secret Realms] and gods. Based on what Xia En saw, it was not difficult for him to come to the conclusion In fact, the world Nanami lives in is just a larger bubble of light in the "Secret Sea". Compared with those [secret realms], there is no essential difference! They think that their grand and great history, the changes of races and the evolution of civilization are just a story that happened in a bubble of light. It is conceivable what kind of terrible shock it would cause if this truth were spread across the Seven Seas. As a time traveler, Xia En inevitably thought of more. Since this world is a bubble of light in the [Secret Sea]. ?So in other light bubbles, are there civilizations that are not inferior to the [Seven Seas World]? ??The [Earth World] where Xia En once lived, was it also a member of the light bubble? Even if this was just some speculation, Xia En''s mood was shaken and he could not calm down for a long time. At this time. ?Shane suddenly felt a certain "attention." ?It was not like a gaze, or any kind of will with a clear origin. He felt as if he was being stared at by time itself. ?Something that is older than history, bigger than the city-state, and even seems to come from the deepest part of this [secret sea]... is watching me. ?There is no emotion in that "gazing", no malice or goodwill. He just watched. ?Like a cold, empty shell, staring at an uninvited guest who came into this place ignorantly, and said indifferently You are here. Boom! ! There was a loud noise in Xia En''s consciousness, and the remaining rationality collapsed and reorganized. The darkness seemed to begin to recede on all sides. Some invisible things that slowly squirmed and deformed in the darkness seemed to be gradually condensing and transforming into entities. They look like dry tree branches, bridging and converging with each other in nothingness, connecting those star-like light spots and traces together, vaguely possessing some special pattern. Is this...the connection between different [secret realms]? Xia En''s consciousness gradually became clearer and he thought: "And the will just now is the [Secret Sea Will] mentioned by Augustine?" Emotionless, machine-like, and empty shell. ?That "gaze" really meets the description of [The Will of the Secret Sea]. ??However, Xia En couldn''t tell what these indescribable tree-like things represented. Suddenly, the sound of waves sounded in Sean''s ears. ?This is not an imaginary movement in consciousness, but a real sound. This also means that the five senses have returned to Xia En. ?At the same time, it means that he successfully completed this promotion ritual! Xia En''s consciousness suddenly felt down to earth, and a burst of ecstasy suddenly rose in his heart. After suffering for such a long time, the pain is finally over! Soon, the wave from the [Secret Sea] descended on him. Under the wash of the vast and full secret power, several prompts appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Complete the trial mission: Break through the world barrier! The promotion ritual is over! Hidden Hidden Path Occupation: Secret Sea Walker (Level 5)! ?Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. ??The promotion ritual is over before I tell him the specific content of the trial mission. This is too confusing! Furthermore, the barrier of [nothingness] that he broke through before was actually a "world barrier?" But if you think about it carefully. ?Combined with the name of the profession [Secret Sea Walker], he must have the ability to break through the world''s barriers before he can truly walk in the [Secret Sea]. Of course, Xia En actually adopted a tricky method, adjusting his secret power to a frequency similar to that of the barrier, and passed through the barrier. Its no wonder that the forced breakthrough method doesnt work. ?That is a barrier to a world, and it is obviously not what Xia En can do now. You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! Comprehensive quality: 9.512! Unlock the exclusive talent of "Secret Sea Walker": Hidden Traces!

Remember, do not use these eyes to look at things you shouldn''t look at. Every time you explore a different "secret realm", your career compatibility can be slightly improved. Career fit: 0% These two talents ??Xia En looked at these descriptions carefully, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little subtle. First of all, the strength of these two talents is absolutely online. The former directly gave Xia En a powerful BUFF, making him immune to curses and other secret spells. To be honest, Xia En is often not very afraid of frontal combat. You can still run away if you really can''t beat him. ?But curses are hard to guard against, especially as the rank increases, the curses mastered by the Mystic become more and more weird and dangerous. Especially an organization like the [Truth Society], which obviously has the ability to locate locations, divination and other means. ?Just like last time, [Thousand Changes] Jia Xiu found the [Black Swan] inexplicably and almost caused a catastrophe. It is obviously necessary to make some preparations in advance. ??Moreover, what is really important about this talent is probably its secondary effect. It allows Xia En to avoid many dangers when walking in the [Secret Sea]. ?Xia Enke has not forgotten that when he first explored the [Secret Sea], he ran into an incredibly huge creature. As for [Eye of Peeping Secrets] ??The description of this talent made Xia En a little confused. What does it mean to think about the [Secret Sea]? ?Xia En couldn''t help but think of those weird branches, and suddenly realized something - ?That kind of thing may not actually exist. What he saw was probably just a thought that flashed through [The Will of the Secret Sea] at a certain moment. And this idea was strongly reflected here, and it turned into a huge structure in his eyes. Think about it again. ?Those tree branches connect many light points together. Perhaps it means that there is a special connection in these [secret realms]. For example, a certain [secret realm] is separated from another [secret realm]. For another example, a certain [secret realm] is inhabited by humans who have migrated from other [secret realms]. ? With this talent, Xia En can filter out the [Secret Realms] related to the [Seven Seas World] from the endless light spots. It can greatly reduce the time wasted exploring invalid [secret areas]. ??It is also a very practical talent. ??The only thing that dissatisfied Xia En is... These two talents are the ability to assist the exploration of the [Secret Sea] and do not intuitively improve the actual combat power. (End of this chapter) Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and retur Chapter 274 The secret power is sublimated and returns to [Black Swan]! Rhine Secret Realm Under a large tree with dark red leaves and lush branches. The invisible wave of mysterious power is rushing nearby, slowly spreading outward like a tidal wave. ?No matter flowers, trees, trees or rocks, nothing can stop it. Under the influence of this mysterious power, the growth rate of [Crimson Ancient Tree] seems to have accelerated a little. The crimson leaves swayed gently under the tide of secret power, looking very magical. Looking at this scene, Sha Jingjing next to the altar was filled with amazement and said softly. As expected of the Holy Son, the news of promotion is getting louder and louder. ?Beside Sha Jingjing, there were several boys and girls from the [Yongyue Tribe]. They all sat around the altar, quietly comprehending this strange secret power, and practicing through it. Sha Jingjing turned her head and said to them seriously: "We are all blessed by the Holy Son, so we can have such an opportunity. We must cherish it and be grateful." Not long after Xia En entered the promotion ritual, a strange secret power began to emerge around the altar. Sha Jingjing, who was responsible for guarding this place, soon discovered that this secret power was of great benefit to her body, and the previous bottleneck showed signs of loosening. So, Sha Jingjing selected a group of talented people from the [Yongyue Clan] to practice beside the altar. ?As expected, after this period of subtle influence, the strength of these tribesmen has improved in different ways. Someone''s body has been strengthened. Some people have a more delicate grasp of the secret power. ?Hearing Sha Jingjing''s words, a young man from the Yongyue Tribe looked at Xia En''s retreat hut with admiration and sighed. My lord, the Holy Son, is truly amazing. Just the aftermath of the promotion has benefited us a lot. Another girl looked worried: "But...isn''t it too long for the Holy Son to be promoted?" Is it really okay? Her thoughts were very simple. It took so long for Lord Shengzi to be promoted this time, but he didn''t eat. Is there really no problem with his body? Hearing this, Sha Jingjing couldn''t help but frown slightly. To be honest, she has always been a little worried in her heart. She knows more than the average tribesman. She knows that Xia Ens promotion ritual is special and extremely difficult, otherwise he would not have come to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for seclusion. However, out of trust in Xia En, Sha Jingjing still chose to believe and wait. At this time. Another young man from the Yongyue clan exclaimed in a low voice: "Look! Under the sacred tree..." Hearing his call, everyones eyes immediately looked below the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. I saw that the previously invisible tide of secret power was suddenly dyed with a faint black color. ?This darkness expanded outwards in an instant, and soon blackened the entire tide. The [Rhine Secret Realm], which was still sunny just now, instantly became extremely dark. Immediately, not only the [Crimson Ancient Tree], but also the space where many Yongyue tribe members were located was shrouded in darkness. At this moment, its like night has fallen! ?Faced with such a vision, the boys and girls couldn''t help but become speechless. Even Sha Jingjing couldn''t say a word. Shortly afterwards, this pitch black windless land automatically rippled, and a little light appeared in the middle and slowly rose. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like countless stars spread across the vast night sky. Large and small light bubbles are formed and destroyed in the deep darkness. Sometimes it turns into light spots, sometimes it turns into light marks. Everything seems bizarre, but at the same time it is full of wonderful laws. ?Sha Jingjing and others are still standing on the land of [Rhine Secret Realm], but they seem to have crossed the barriers of the world and can see the true appearance of [Secret Sea]. How can such a scene not shake people''s minds and shock them incomprehensibly? In fact, for them, witnessing this kind of scene in advance will be of great benefit to them on the secret road in the future, and they can avoid many detours. When you are promoted, it will also become particularly smooth because you have sensed the breath of the [Secret Sea]. ?However, at this time, everyone in the Yongyue clan had no time to care about this kind of thing. ? Their whole bodies and minds were attracted by the vision in front of them and could not extricate themselves. followed by. In the darkness, waves began to surge, one wave higher than the next, like the deep sea before a storm. Suddenly there was a roar. The violent secret power escaping all around seems to have begun to collapse after expanding to the extreme! At the center of the secret power, a huge whirlpool appeared, and the center of the whirlpool was bottomless. Endless secret power surged toward the center of the vortex, pouring like a waterfall, enough to push an ordinary fifth-level mystic to death. Among them, the nearest [Crimson Ancient Tree] also received part of the secret power. ??The whole tree has grown taller visibly to the naked eye, and the crown of the tree has become denser and more prosperous. Seeing this, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized something and shouted: "Hurry up and absorb this secret power, as much as you can!" Having said that, Sha Jingjing sat down first and tried her best to absorb the secret power around her. The total amount of this secret power is too huge. Even during the absorption process of Xia En, a considerable part will escape. And this part of the secret power is the opportunity for the people of the Yongyue tribe! In the hut, Xia En''s eyes were closed tightly, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and he could faintly hear the pulse like ancient war drums. All the secret power pouring down from all around penetrated his body and poured into his chest. There, there is an invisible whirlpool spinning. At the center of this vortex is the deepest darkness, which seems to be able to swallow everything. While the vortex was turning, the mysterious power all over Xia En''s body was also undergoing a miraculous transformation. This is a level of sublimation. From ordinary secret power, it has become a secret power that is closer to the depths of the [Secret Sea], purer and more original. Wait until the deep darkness fades away like a tide and the violent tide of secret power subsides. ?Shaan slowly opened his eyes and found that the hut next to him no longer existed, leaving only a puddle of powder. Obviously, under the violent rush of secret power just now, this small house was overwhelmed and was directly crushed into powder. ??Similarly torn into pieces were the clothes on Xia En''s body. He calmly took out the clothes from the space ring and started to put them on. But this movement made Xia En feel very uncomfortable. After sleeping for many days, his body was like a rusty machine, and even the simplest movements were a bit jerky. ?However, after a little movement, Xia En immediately discovered that there was volcanic power lurking in every cell of his body, and it would explode at the slightest thought. ?He used a little more force and tore his clothes apart. In desperation, Xia En had to carefully take out another one and slowly put it on his body. ?After getting dressed with some difficulty, Xia En looked at himself and found that his body had become more perfect after being promoted. ? Streamlined muscle lines, straight back, and even the facial features have undergone subtle adjustments and become more beautiful. ?The entire body has no flaws at all, like a work of art. In addition, what surprised Xia En even more was the change in the secret power in his body. His secret power, both in total amount and degree of purity, is several times greater than before. Very simple reason. When performing the same secret technique, the more pure the secret power, the greater the power it exerts. Not only that, during the long process of breaking through the barrier of [nothingness], Xia En has been adjusting the state of the secret power, gradually changing its nature. After the promotion ritual ended, his secret power was completely sublimated and he achieved transformation. In fact, the secret power of each Mystic Pathfinder has its own characteristics. For example, the secret power of the [Warrior] secret path is difficult to use to cast spells. The secret power of fire attribute is difficult to produce ice attribute attack. ?However, at this time, Xia En''s secret power seems to be able to evolve into any kind of secret power, adapting to different types of secret techniques! It can be said that this secret power is close to the origin of the secret power! Its level is so high that it is extremely rare in the Seven Seas. Because it is pure, it is powerful. It seems that this is the biggest benefit after being promoted to the fifth level. Xia Ens eyes were bright, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Although the hidden profession [Secret Sea Walker] obtained, it does not directly provide skills for combat. But the sublimation of this secret power alone has raised his combat effectiveness to a higher level. ??If Xia En used [Great Dark Sky] now, he could hardly imagine how powerful it would be. I have to say. ??This promotion ritual can be called the most dangerous one among Xia En''s several promotions. ??The other promotions were extremely difficult compared to other Mystic Pathfinders, but with Xia En''s strength at the time, he basically had a way to deal with them. But this time, the physical fitness and combat power that Xia En always relied on were almost useless. You can only rely on a little bit of exploration and experimentation. ?The long persistence in the endless darkness continued to wear away his will. At the most dangerous moment, Xia En really almost lost himself in the void. ?Xia En has reason to suspect that other Mystics have failed in promotion and may have another chance. And if he fails, the only thing that will greet him is complete death. ?However, the difficulty of promotion to the ritual is high, and the reward can be said to be extremely generous. This kind of secret power is close to the [emptiness] barrier that I touched before, but it doesnt really reach that level. Just call it...[Secret Power of the Void]. ??Xia En casually gave this secret power a name, quickly opened his stance, and performed the [Knight Strengthening Method] in the open space to adapt to his upgraded body as soon as possible. After completing four or five sets of movements, Xia En finally felt that he had roughly mastered his body. He then transformed into a blood sword and repeatedly practiced basic sword skills. Nearly an hour later, he was fully adapted. Not far away, Sha Jingjing waited patiently for Xia Ens movements to stop, and then respectfully stepped forward. Lord Holy Son Xia En turned around and looked at Sha Jingjing with her ears erect and her tail wagging, and she suddenly felt like she was in another world. But, for some reason, the moment she saw him, Sha Jingjing tucked her tail between her legs and her body was still trembling slightly. Xia En asked curiously: "Huh? Sha Jingjing, what''s wrong with you?" Sha Jingjing shivered and said honestly: "No, it''s nothing." "The current Lord Holy Son is a bit scary..." ?In her eyes, Xia En was filled with a strong sense of oppression, like a giant beast in the deep sea, which made her instinctively uneasy. Like the reaction of wild animals when they encounter those stronger predators. ?Especially looking at those dark and deep eyes, it gave her the feeling of looking directly into the abyss. Obviously, this is because Xia En has just broken through and his aura has not yet completely converged. ?Xia En tried hard to control the breath around him and asked. How long have I been promoted? Sha Jingjing replied: Its been nearly a month. Its been a month? ?Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy. This time is actually about the same as he expected, but in this month, a lot of things can happen. ?Perhaps something happened on the Black Swan. ?Hence, Xia En no longer hesitated, and after saying goodbye to Sha Jingjing, activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the silver light door. After the light dissipates. Xia En returned to the [Black Swan]. Looking at the familiar layout in the captain''s cabin, Xia En suddenly felt at ease, as if he had returned home. In fact, isnt [Black Swan] already his home? Soon, a long whistle sounded on its own. Everyone on the ship felt the vibration and joy of the ship. It was like the cheers of thousands of people, and it was like the whole ship came to life and became active and vivid. ?Thats the [Black Swan] welcoming its captain! With a "bang", the door to the captain''s cabin was pushed open. ??Joy rushed in first and rushed over to hug Xia En. Mr. Captain, you are finally back! The girl''s eyes were filled with tears of joy. Xia En is always on the boat, so she doesn''t feel much. But this time when Shane broke through the retreat, Joey realized the irreplaceable importance of the captain. ?Obviously it was only a month since she last saw him, but to her, it felt like a century. ?Shaan rubbed Joeys little head and was a little surprised to find Joy seems to have grown up a bit. Not only the height has increased, but also certain parts of the body have undergone some changes. Probably from the Xiao Long Bao in the South to... the Xiao Long Bao in the North? This was a judgment that Xia En made subconsciously when they hugged each other. It was just an accident. ?But just think about it. ?Judging from the days of the Siren''s blood transformation, Joey is obviously still in the developmental stage, and it is natural for him to continue to grow up. Wow, its Mr. Captain! Xian Ge''s excited voice sounded outside the door: "Hiss... Why does it feel like Captain Xia En has become so much stronger!" This breath is like a [secret sea]. Feiya grabbed the back of Xian Ge''s neck, like holding a big cat, to prevent it from rushing into the captain''s cabin. Please calm down, didnt you see Joey making out with the captain? Huh? Make out? Xiange asked confusedly: "What does that mean?" Hearing this, Joey stood up with a red face and said to the door: "You all come in." ?Not long after, all the crew members came to Xia En, and even the lazy salted fish ghost Vivian floated in. ?Seeing that they were safe and sound, Xia En couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. ?But soon, Xia En noticed that one crew member was missing. He frowned slightly and asked. Where is Yan Yan? (End of this chapter) Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-enter th Chapter 275 The secret of the far north, re-entering the [Land of Glory] Where is Yan Yan? ?Hearing Xia En''s question, the crew couldn''t help but fell silent, and the atmosphere became slightly gloomy. The joy of meeting the captain just now seemed to be diluted by this. Looking at their expressions, Xia En roughly guessed what happened, so he sighed. Did he really leave after all? Finally, it was Joey who spoke: "The thing is like this..." ??As Joey told it, Xia En quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter, and his expression couldn''t help but be a little complicated. YanyanXinwang Although Xia En had already made guesses from some clues in the past. ??But when he heard this information with his own ears, he was still in a trance. ?The last king of the last era, the founder of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the Xinwang Treasure who left the [Xinwang Treasure] as the spark of civilization, actually once served as his own crew. And like ordinary crew members, they obeyed their orders seriously and meticulously. ?Thinking about it this way, this seems like a pretty big deal? ?When he thought that Yan Yan had left, Xia En felt melancholy, but also a little happy that he had regained his memory. After all, no one wants to live in a state of confusion for the rest of their lives. ?Recovering his memory means that Yan Yan has regained his identity as King Xin and can continue his unfinished business in the past. For Yan Yan personally, this may be a happy thing, right? ?However, after confirming Yan Yans identity, Xia En couldnt help but have many questions. ?Why was Yan Yan picked up by him on the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea]? What is the reason why he lost his memory? Why did King Xin and Dayan Kingdom fall like meteors back then? ??Did Yan Yan ever have a war with the enemy in [Lenglie Sea]? ?But who is the enemy Yan Yan faces? ? Could it be [Husi Ming] who invades this world? The answers to these questions are buried in the shadow of history, and Xia En has no way of knowing them. ?Probably, only Yan Yan can answer his doubts. At this time, Joey continued: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Captain, when we contacted other merchant ships, we learned that several major events have happened in the recent Seven Seas..." Not long after, Xia En got a general understanding of the major events in Qihai this month from Joey''s mouth. Including the battles between the three major esoteric religions, the entrapment of the "King", and the prophecy of the "Second Great Flood". After listening, Xia En had a strange expression. Didnt he just shut himself up once? Why did so many things happen in Nanami? ?However, Xia En still had expectations for the battle between the [Truth Society] and [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect]. In the final analysis, the initiator of this melee was none other than himself! Xia En also did not expect that his words to the Netherworld cultists in the submersible in the deep sea would have such a good effect. ?Perhaps at that time, the other party really regarded himself as the spokesperson of [Lord of the Deep] in the human world? As for the prophecy of the Second World-Destroying Flood This news made Xia En somewhat unexpected. He already knew from Augustines mouth that the coming of the World-Destroying Flood was [Hui Si Ming]s method to involve the world in Filthy Chaos. ?So, will this second great flood be caused by the same reason? Xia En always felt that something was wrong. There is no other reason than that the interval between these two great floods was a little too close. Even the butcher knows that before killing a pig, you must first fatten the pig before killing it. At present, the civilization on the Seven Seas is clearly still in its infancy, and it will take a long time to reach its peak. ?Even if [Huisi Ming] planned to harvest, he shouldnt start so soon. Xia En vaguely felt that there must be some hidden secret that he didn''t know yet. But having said that, judging from the strange attitude of the Federation and the recent cessation of the war between the three major esoteric sects, the credibility of this prophecy is probably still very high. This is not an alarmist doomsday prediction. Speaking of which, Yan Yan said that the destination of his trip was the far north where the great flood originated. On the sidelines, Joey speculated: "Maybe it has something to do with this prophecy, right?" The land of the far north ?Shaan muttered the name in a low voice. ?He once went to the [Ice and Snow Island] in the [Cold Sea], but instead of continuing to explore north, he went all the way south. Looking back now. When he first approached the [Ice and Snow Island], the reason why Xia Ens [Salt Kings Certificate] was constantly agitated was not because there was a [Salt King Treasure] on the island. Its because the real Salary King is on that island! ??And the huge warship that the [Black Swan] encountered when leaving the [Cold Sea] should be the [King] that has been rumored recently. The frozen underwater ruins under the [Cold Sea], the [Emerald Ancient City] burned to ashes, the [Emerald Holy City] where elves live... ?Xia En didnt feel anything when he experienced it before. But now, it was difficult for him not to associate these strange scenes with the Far North. Dont forget, before the great flood came, the Great Yan Kingdom founded by King Xin was located in that icy land. It is conceivable that there must be countless secrets buried in that land. ?Shane seems to have found a lot of key points now. ?However, there is a lack of a thread that connects these points together, making the truth of the matter still hidden in the fog and not clear. Xia En thought for a moment, but couldn''t get any results. He couldn''t help but let out a long breath and looked a little gloomy. ??Joy looked at Shane and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Captain, where should we go now?" Continue to move towards [Liu Li Island]? In this month, [Black Swan] has actually completely returned to its full glory. Just because Xia En went into seclusion and Yan Yan left, the crew was unable to determine the direction to move forward. ?Some crew members believe that they should go directly to the Far North. Not only to find Yan Yan, but also to solve the upcoming disaster of the world. Other crew members believed that they should act in accordance with the captains original order and continue to rush to [Liu Li Island]. No one on either side can convince the other. In the end, only a compromise solution can be reached. [Black Swan] continued to move towards [Liu Li Island], but the speed slowed down. Prevent Xia En from waking up and trying to turn the ship around, only to find that most of his time was wasted. So until now, [Black Swan] has not arrived at [Liu Li Island]. After listening to Joeys explanation, Shane understood everything immediately. He thought for a moment and made a decision quickly. Continue to [Liu Li Island]! They went all the way south from the [Lenglie Sea] and passed through the [Magnetic Sea Area] and [Sea of ??Annihilation], spending a lot of time on the way. Now turning back again, it is obvious that it cannot be reached in a short time. ??Also, lets talk about something realistic. ?With the current strength of Xia En and others, even if they find Yan Yan, they cannot keep him on the ship. And if they want to intervene in the catastrophic disaster, the crew''s combat power is completely insufficient. ??Instead of rushing towards the far north regardless of safety, it is better to concentrate on development for a period of time. ?Perhaps, there is the answer to the question he wants to know on [Liu Li Island]. With Shane making the decision, the crew had no objections. Soon, the [Black Swan] made a high-pitched cry. The steam turbine deep in the cabin is beating continuously like a heart, bursting out powerful power. The majestic bow of the ship broke through the waves ahead, stirring up a series of snow-white foam and ripples on both sides of the hull. The speed of the entire ship continued to increase, and it moved forward in an indomitable manner. After finishing the pleasantries with the crew. ?Xia En opened the [Glory Crystal Mirror], and his consciousness sank into the [Glory Land] filled with light. Having just returned to [Seven Seas World], he needs to obtain more valuable information as soon as possible. Brilliant Crystal Mirroris undoubtedly the best choice. However, as soon as he entered the [Land of Glory], Xia En discovered... ?This space seems a little empty. In the ancient and vast square, there were more than a dozen vague light groups scattered very sparsely. ??Although it is not the day when the archbishop holds a rally, the number of believers in the square is still much smaller than what Sean remembered. [Black Light] Senior, you are here! Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this, a familiar, clear young voice sounded behind him. Xiaobai, its you. Shaan turned his head and greeted this milky white light group. ?This group of light is the young priest who originally talked to Xia En. ?In subsequent exchanges, Xia En gradually became familiar with him and learned that his code name was "Xiao Bai." She is one of the netizens Xia En is familiar with in [Land of Glory]. [Black Light] Senior, where have you been during this time? The archbishop held several meetings, but he didnt see you. ?Xiaobai said with both curiosity and concern: "A few days ago, after we officially started the war with the [Truth Society], many of our companions unfortunately died." I thought you also Hearing this, Xia En immediately understood why the [Glory Land] became deserted. Obviously, in the battle with the [Truth Society], a considerable number of Hui sect believers died. ?This couldn''t help but make Xia En feel a little bit guilty. After all, this war started because of him. ?However, Xia En has not forgotten the true face of the [Lord of Billions of Glory]. A sect that believes in foreign gods may not be a good thing for the [Seven Seas World]. at the same time. Xia En also felt strongly vigilant and said to himself. The strength of the [Truth Society] is truly terrifying. Facing the siege of the two secret sects, it can still cause such heavy casualties. It is indeed one of the most mysterious forces in the Seven Seas. He has already underestimated the strength of the [Truth Society]. But now it seems that [Hui Sect] and [Yushu Sect] alone cannot completely eliminate [Truth Society]. While Xia En and Xiao Bai were talking. Other nearby Hui sect believers also noticed his arrival. ?Who made the black light emitting from Xia En''s body so conspicuous? Not long after, a believer with a purple soul light group came over and questioned Xia En. [Black Light]! Where have you been these days? Obviously we are all fighting **** battles with the lunatics of the [Truth Society], why dont we see you contributing in the battle? ??The purple believer''s tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction, even vaguely targeted. His anger is not difficult to understand. ??The person who originally delivered the oracle was Xia En, and it was Xia En who led to the war with the [Truth Society]. However, during the battle, Xia En was not seen taking any action, and even disappeared for a time. It''s like a deserter. This purple believers friends and relatives all died in the battle, so his resentment became even more obvious. ?Shaan frowned. He didn''t want to explain this kind of problem at first, and wanted to find an excuse to excuse it. But suddenly, his brows jumped, and he noticed a white-gold light group in the crowd staring at him. ?There seemed to be a strange halo flowing in the other party''s eyes. Shortly afterwards, several lines of information appeared in front of Xia En''s eyes. Description: A pupil technique that can identify the authenticity of words. "Um?" Xia En was startled, and soon realized that this was the effect of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. ? He ??originally thought that this talent only took effect on [Secret Realms], but now, it is obvious that it can also see through secrets. ?So, after thinking about it, Xia En said: "These days, I am busy with promotion rituals, so I am unable to participate in rallies and battles in time." I can understand if you blame me for this. However, if you say that I did not contribute in this war, then I cannot agree with it. The purple believer was obviously a little dissatisfied: "Then tell me, what have you done?" A month ago, I dived into the deep sea alone and killed a first-generation species of [Scion of Yousui], thereby drawing [Yousui Sect] into this war. Xia En sneered: "If [Youshu Sect] hadn''t taken action, our [Hui Sect]''s casualties would have been even more severe, right?" "[The Descendants of Yousui]...the first generation...drew the [Yousui Sect] into trouble?" The more the Purple Believers heard, the more ridiculous they felt: "[The Descendants of Yousui] are at least in the deep sea thousands of meters below, and the [First Generation Species] among them only appear at a distance of close to 10,000 meters." There is a limit to how much you can lie! At this time, the white-gold light group next to him came out, looked at Xia En with shocked eyes, and said. Everything he said is true. Lord Star! ?This platinum light group obviously has a very high prestige among believers. The moment he appeared, several people saluted him. However, after hearing [Xingchen]s words, people couldnt help but be stunned. They were also curious as to why the [Netherworld Sect] launched an attack on the [Truth Society] so coincidentally at almost the same time. But it was only now that they knew the truth. Its just that this truth is a bit too incredible. This, how is this possible? ??The purple believer''s eyes widened, still in disbelief. int The purple believer shook his head quickly: "I don''t dare to..." [Xingchen] turned around, walked towards Xia En, and then bowed deeply. [Black Light] Your Excellency, thank you for your contribution. I also apologize to you on behalf of my useless subordinate. (End of this chapter) Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] exploration! Chapter 276 The first official [Secret Sea] exploration! [Black Light] Your Excellency, Im sorry. ?After seeing [Xingchen] apologize for himself, the believer who was emitting purple light also gritted his teeth and quickly lowered his head to Xia En. Xia En nodded in response. ? At this moment, he also saw that this purple believer and [Xingchen] probably knew each other in reality, and they were in a superior-subordinate relationship. originally probably wanted to use the purple believers to test Xia En. ??If Shane had told a lie, it would undoubtedly be used as an excuse for criticism. Obviously, after suffering a very heavy sacrifice, some people within the Hui Religion began to have doubts about Xia En. After all, the oracle is unquestionable. The only person who can be doubted is naturally the person who delivers the oracle. ?However, [Xingchen] obviously did not expect that after asking, he would get such an answer. On the contrary, it increased Xia En''s prestige in front of many believers. ?Xiao Bai on the side opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia En in amazement. It turns out that the reinforcements from [Netherworld Sect] were found by senior [Black Light]. Those guys who believe in the ancient gods have always been stubborn and rigid. It is not easy to deal with them. I can only say that...he is indeed a senior [Black Light]! ?Xiaobai is young and knows limited secrets, so he failed to realize the key point of Xia En''s words just now. But the other Hui sect believers in the crowd could not help but change their expressions slightly and began to communicate in low voices. The [first-generation species] among the [Sirs of Yousui]... I remember that there are only nine of them in the entire Seven Seas, right? Furthermore, it is said that the [First Generation Species] already possesses some of the immortal abilities of the [Netherworld Lord]. Even if you suffer fatal injuries, you can still come back to life in the deep sea in an incredible way. [Black Light] Seniors Beheading, what exactly is it..." Hearing these whispers, Xia En''s expression was a little strange, and he thought to himself. Huh? There are only nine [first-generation species]? So, it seems like it still has some kind of remarkable existence? Xia En originally thought that the [first-generation species] was just a relatively rare deep-sea creature, but now it seems that their rarity seems to be beyond his expectation! There are only nine in the entire [Seven Seas World]? Furthermore, this number seems to have been maintained for a long time. As a result, you ate one of them during a [deep sea hunting]? Let alone other people, even Xia En himself felt it was a bit outrageous. ?However, Xia En was able to confirm that the previous [first-generation species] that looked like a giant squid was indeed dead. Its secret power and flesh and blood have become the nourishment for Xia En''s growth, and there is no possibility of resurrection. Perhaps, among the [first-generation species] of [Yousuis descendants], there are also strong and weak ones. Xia En analyzed secretly: "And the one I encountered happened to be the weakest among the [first-generation species]." "And its complete death may be related to my [Deep Touch]..." ?Thinking about it carefully, [Sir of Netherworld] may be the embodiment of [Secret Power of Netherworld]. Conventional attack methods, such as destroying the body, will only defeat the [Secret Power] and return it to the deep sea. When the [Deep Secret Power] gathers again, the [First Generation Seed] will be resurrected! I''m afraid, this is the truth about the immortality of [the first generation species]! ?Although it was just a guess, Xia En was 80% sure. Thinking about it now, the reason why that [first-generation species] is not too strong is probably because it has just been resurrected and has not yet returned to its peak state. ?During the battle, Xia En completely absorbed its [Netherworld Secret Power] and strengthened his own [Deep Touch]. This is when the first generation species died completely. ? Xia En has many thoughts in his mind, but in the eyes of other Hui sect believers, it is a sign that the senior masters do not care about rumors. After this episode, Xia En''s image became more and more unpredictable in the eyes of everyone. The awe in people''s hearts has inevitably deepened. After all, [Black Light] can kill even the [First Generation Species] known as the "immortal", and no one wants to be an enemy of such a being. ?Xia En also didnt expect that a few casual words would have such a good effect. But he did not forget the purpose of coming to the [Land of Glory]. Soon, Xia En asked Xiaobai: "Speaking of which, it seems that we have ceased war with the [Truth Society] recently? What''s going on?" Hearing this, Xiaobai looked indignant, but hesitated to speak. He glanced at the [star] next to him that was emitting platinum light. Let me speak. ǡ said frankly: "After all, I was the first to propose the peace talks." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Peace talks?" After the war between [Huijiao] and [Truth Society], the two sides have already formed a **** feud. If you want peace talks, you will definitely face great resistance. No wonder Xiaobai looked at him like this. ?However, Xia En thought about it and immediately guessed the root cause behind the peace talks. Is it because of the prophecy of the Second Flood? "Yes, we have verified from many sources that the disaster of annihilation is indeed coming." Under the overturned nest, how can there be any intact eggs? In the face of this kind of disaster, we should temporarily put aside our contradictions and find ways to get through this disaster first. Furthermore, it is said that it is a peace negotiation, but in fact, it is also a competition between the three major esoteric religions. Shane: Oh, how do you say it? Immediately, [Xingchen] recounted the conversation that took place in the unique [Secret Realm] to Xia En. Including the agreements and oaths made by the three major esoteric religions. The reason [Xingchen] knows so clearly is because...he himself is a witness to this peace meeting! ?This also shows his unusual identity. From beginning to end, [Xingchen]s attitude was very calm. Obviously, he believed from the bottom of his heart that what he did was right, so he had a clear conscience. In fact, there are many people who hold this idea in Huijiao. After all, once the whole world is flooded, even if the war between esoteric cults is won, everything will be meaningless. ?Compared with the resolute death struggle faction, this can only be said to be a conceptual difference. It cannot represent disloyalty to the Lord of billions of rays of light. ǡcontinues: "Moreover, we have reached an agreement on the surface." Secretly, we are also using unique secret techniques to lock the identities of [Truth Society] members. We have not forgotten the **** feud in the past! ?His words were so sonorous and powerful that the eyes of Xiaobai next to him changed slightly. "I see." Xia En was not surprised and simply asked: "Then have you found out the source of the great flood?" s expression froze under the light, and he shook his head helplessly: Not yet. The first batch of believers who went to the far north have not yet heard back. "However, the progress of the other two religions is definitely not that fast." Xia En shook his head: "That''s not what I want to say." Have you ever considered the possibility that those who are preparing to set off this world-destroying flood are none other than members of the [Truth Society]! You are stalling for time, and so are they. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. ?There is no other reason. This speculation is too sensational. ?This not only means that the [Truth Society] has been in an invincible position from the beginning in the competition between the three religions. It also means that the [Truth Society] may have been on the opposite side of the entire [Seven Seas World]. This, how is this possible... [Xingchen] looked dazed and said dullly: "No matter what, the [Truth Society] won''t be so crazy, right?" Xiaobai murmured to himself: "Destroying the entire world, what good will it do to them?" ?Of course, Xia En has no actual basis for this. ??But judging from the [Undertaker] encountered during the promotion ritual, the [Truth Society] is definitely secretly preparing some terrible plan. ?That plan not only exists in modern times, but also runs through the past and future, hidden in the cracks of history! ??Moreover, after witnessing with my own eyes the truth that the [Seven Seas World] is only a larger [Secret Realm] in the [Secret Sea]. Xia Ens horizons have broadened a lot. ?Perhaps, the [Truth Society] is preparing to reshape the order of the [Seven Seas World] with the help of the disaster of destruction. Perhaps the [Truth Society] wants to get rid of the restrictions of the [Seven Seas World] and go to a wider world? Intuition told Xia En that this was definitely something the [Truth Society] could do. ?However, guesses are just guesses after all. Xia En could not convince the people of the Hui Religion through this. His purpose was just to plant a seed in the hearts of the Hui Religion believers so that they would always be wary of the [Truth Society]. Subsequently, Xia En got another piece of information from Xiao Bai. Recently, the Seven Seas Federation has been gathering people with lofty ideals from all forces to go to the far north to face the disaster. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little strange. The Federation is so big, wouldnt it take some people several months just to go to the Far North? By then, wont we have missed the most critical period? Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, that''s normal." But it is said that some time ago, the Federations space transmission technology made a huge breakthrough. The Federation has decided to build teleportation platforms to the Far North near various important islands. In this way, people from the seven sea areas can reach that extremely cold land in time. ?Xia En suddenly understood, but he inevitably had some doubts in his heart. How could it be such a coincidence that the breakthrough in teleportation technology was completed just when the prophecy of the second great flood was spread? Or is it that this breakthrough has been achieved a long time ago, but the Federation has always used it as a trump card to suppress the situation, and it was not revealed until now? Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and asked: "Is there such a teleportation platform near [Liu Li Island]?" "certainly!" ?Xiaobai nodded heavily, then quickly realized something, and looked at Xia En in surprise. Senior [Black Light], are you near [Liu Li Island] right now? Xia En responded: "Yeah, what''s the matter?" Xiaobai said happily: "What a coincidence, I happen to be on [Liu Li Island], maybe we can meet him!" Hearing this, Xia En''s mood suddenly became a little strange. In short, it feels like netizens who have been chatting online for many days finally want to meet face to face. ?This time, will he put on a vest to hide his true identity? How about we just show off our cards and stop pretending? Just when Xia En was hesitating, he heard Xiao Bai''s excited thoughts. With the strength of Senior [Black Light], if you go to the far north, you will definitely be the first person to discover the secret of the Great Flood. ?Other believers are also full of faith. Senior [Black Light] takes action personally, and he will definitely be able to capture it! Perhaps, Mr. [Black Light] is the person predicted to prevent the catastrophe from coming! In fact, in the face of this second great flood, the people on the Seven Seas did not fall into despair, nor did they directly start various plans to preserve the fire of civilization. ? is because In the prophecy spread across the Seven Seas, there is actually another sentence. When the eyes of the whole world fall on the Far North, there may be people who will stand up in times of crisis, hold up the building before it collapses, and turn the tide before it collapses. No one knows who spread this prophecy. Some people say that it was a prediction made by a great fortune-teller who sacrificed his life. Some people say that it is the content recorded on an ancient stone tablet. In short, because of the existence of this prophecy, people in the Federation became panicked, and their morale did not collapse directly. They were even able to organize effective resistance. Some people still have small ambitions in their hearts. ?Perhaps the person who prevents the disaster is himself? Becoming the chosen one, accomplishing impossible feats, and gaining countless fame... Novels with this type of plot have always been very popular in the Seven Seas. ?However, when Xia En heard the believers talking like this, he couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. Members of the family know their own affairs. ??Although he has always maintained an enigmatic image in [The Land of Glory], that is actually the result of a combination of various chances and coincidences. Xia En himself is just a secret path user who has just entered the fifth level. Compared with those sixth-level and even legendary powerhouses, there is still a huge gap. Not long after, Xia En withdrew from [The Land of Glory]. ??This time "online", the most important information is the confirmation that there is a teleportation platform leading to the Far North around [Liuli Island]. ?In this way, Xia En does not need to spend a lot of time traveling. He can completely do what he wants to do on [Liu Li Island], and then use the teleportation array to go to the far north. Alas, I am still too weak. Xia En sighed softly. The prophecy of this world-destroying flood gave him a strong sense of urgency. With his current strength, I am afraid he is not even qualified to participate. Xia En said to himself: "Now, there are two ways to quickly improve your strength." The first is to go to [Liu Li Island] and conduct an all-round upgrade of the hull and various components of the [Black Swan]. The second is to improve career fit and break through to a new level as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En opened the panel and looked at the [Submarine Anchor Point] he left in the [Secret Sea]. This is the anchor point he left after sneaking into the space at the bottom of the [Diamond Star] ship. This is the time to use it! Start diving! (End of this chapter) Chapter 277 【The Secret Realm of the Furnace】 Chapter 277 [The Furnace Secret Realm] The familiar feeling of weightlessness came as expected. Xia En''s consciousness keeps falling and falling again... ?Its just that the feeling of this deep dive is different from previous dives. The chaotic darkness around him was obviously more solid and viscous than usual, giving him a strong sense of envelopment. ??Moreover, during the fall, Xia En clearly felt that he had passed through an indescribable barrier. At first, Shane encountered some resistance. But soon, as his [Secret Power of the Void] seeped out, this barrier was like a coded door with the correct password, allowing Xia En to enter and exit. Obvious. ?This is exactly the [World Barrier] that Xia En has seen during the promotion ritual. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little scared. ??If he tried to use the [Anchor Point] to dive into the [Secret Sea] before he was promoted to the fifth level, he might be blocked by this barrier, and he might even suffer unforeseen injuries. ?However, Xia En remembered the strange sea water under the cabin of the [Diamond Star]. Why can you directly reach the [Secret Sea] by diving into that seawater? ?? Could it be that, as Shane had guessed before, this [Diamond Star] is the projection of its body in the [Secret Sea], and is it so closely connected with the [Secret Sea]? Many complicated thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. Then, when the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, he opened his eyes. What comes into view is a deep and dark sea, so vast that its depth cannot be measured. ?Countless obscure lights and shadows flow rapidly in it. ????????????????????????????Some rays of light are scattered scatteredly, and some are gathered together like a river. In this dark background, it is as bright as a galaxy. Such a scene will always be shocking no matter how many times you see it. Xia En whispered in his heart: "[Secret Sea], I''m back again." To put it into perspective, this is actually the third time that Xia En has dived into the depths of the [Secret Sea]. The first time was during the first-level promotion ritual, when I accidentally performed a [submersible]. ??As a result, he directly ran into a giant thing in the [Secret Sea], and after hurriedly breaking into a world of light bubbles, he was kicked out. The second time, during the fourth-level promotion ritual, the [Submarine Anchor Point] was left in the [Secret Sea]. Before he took a second look, he was crushed by another huge will. ?However, the two [submersible voyages] were extremely short, and there was no valuable harvest. They could only be regarded as trials. Right now, its Xia Ens first official exploration of the [Secret Sea]! ?Xia Ens eyes swept across the chaotic light and shadow in front of him. Soon, his eyes were attracted by one of the nearest light spots, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Eye of Peeping Secretsactivates! Name of the secret realm: Unknown Whether there are traces of intelligent creatures: unknown Characteristics: Unknown Possible loot: unknown Relationship with "Seven Seas World": Very low Danger level: extremely high There are a lot of unknowns in the information that emerges in front of you. Obviously, this is because this [Secret Realm] is less related to the [Seven Seas World], and Xia En''s use of the [Peeping Eye] ability has yet to be developed. So the information I see is relatively limited. ??But even so, the information is by no means worthless. ?Just seeing the column [Danger Level: Extremely High], Xia En decisively gave up exploring this [Secret Realm] and turned to look at other light spots. ?However, maybe Shane was just unlucky. He looked at four or five light spots in succession, all of which were [Secret Realms] with extremely low correlation and extremely high risk. Then on second thought, its the same thing. The [Secret Sea] is so big, and the [Secret Realms] in it are more like countless stars. In such searches, we will definitely encounter [secret realms] that have nothing to do with the [Seven Seas World]. Continue to investigate like this, I dont know when we will find it. Maybe Im looking for it in the wrong way. ?Xia En said to himself, and then a sudden thought occurred. Perhaps, I can directly observe myself with the [Peeping Eye of Secrets], and use this to locate the [Secret Realms] that are highly related to the [Seven Seas World]? ?Shane just did it when he thought of it. He quickly calmed down and observed his [projection body]. Soon, Xia En saw that from the [Projection Body], there were many dry and dark things spreading like branches, faintly connected to several light points in the star sea. It really works! ?Xia En was in an uplifted mood and had some enlightenment. ?These black branches, which are as complex as thorn bushes, are most likely the connection between him and these [secret realms]. In the parlance of Xianxia novels, it is something like karma and fetters. In the Seven Seas, some mystics may use the word "thread of fate" to describe this wonderful connection. After all, Xia Ens body comes from the [Seven Seas World], and the [Secret Realm] related to it should have a high degree of correlation with the [Seven Seas World]. It didnt take long. Xia En found a light spot with more black branches and the closest distance. Secret Realm Name: Furnace Are there any traces of intelligent creatures: Yes Characteristics: "Hot", "Underground claustrophobia", "Shared language", "Trade possible"] Possible loot: lava mine; forging equipment; fire seeds... Relationship with "Seven Seas World": High Risk Level: High "Um?" ?Xia En raised his eyebrows, the information displayed in this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] was quite comprehensive and rich. Let him immediately have a general understanding of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. ? Judging from various information, [The Furnace Secret Realm] seems to be a good place to explore. The only disadvantage is that the level of danger is higher. ??Xia En turned his head and looked into the distance. There was another light spot covered with many black branches, which was still quite some distance away. ?It will obviously take a lot of time to get there. In the previous process of searching for a highly relevant [Secret Realm], Xia En had already wasted part of the ship''s soul power. ?Besides, no one can guarantee that the next [Secret Realm] encountered will be better than the [Secret Realm of the Furnace]. ?From Xia Ens observation, the locations of different [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea] are actually changing all the time. ?Those flowing starlights are the trajectory of the [Secret Realm]. ?There seems to be some special pattern contained in it, but Xia En is not yet able to study it thoroughly. The current situation is... ???If you arrive near the next [Secret Realm], and that [Secret Realm] turns out to be more dangerous, and you miss the current [Secret Realm of the Furnace], wouldnt it be like drawing water from a bamboo basket but in vain? ?Xia En thought for a moment, decided not to be entangled, and went directly to the light spot in the [Furnace Secret Realm]. As he got closer, the light spots gradually turned into huge light bubbles, whose surface exuded a hazy and dense light, making it look beautiful. ?Looking closely, the surface of the light bubble still has a faint red color, but it is not obvious. Immediately afterwards, Xia En did not hesitate and hit the light bubble directly. ??A huge pulling force came at this moment, and he felt as if his soul was flying up and being pulled towards a certain existence in the [Secret Realm]. Its more like squeeze than pull. Xia En''s soul was forced into this existence under the influence of some external force. The next moment. ?The heavy touch from the real world came from the limbs, along with several strange sensations. Hot and dry. The smell of blood lingering on the tip of the nose, the smell of some kind of rotting corpse. ??Although Xia En''s [Projection Body] already has various senses, it always seems to be separated by a thin film, which is different from the original body. ?But the senses he was feeling at the moment seemed extremely real and clear, as if Xia En''s true body had arrived. Whats going on? ?Xia En moved his fingers with difficulty, only to feel that his body was unusually slow and numb. ?Even the simple action of opening your eyes seems extremely difficult. ?This uncomfortable feeling lasted for more than ten seconds, and the unspeakable numbness and dullness all over my body finally gradually faded away. ?Shaan felt as if he had awakened from a long hibernation and regained his ability to move little by little. Finally, Xia En opened his eyes and saw the surrounding scene clearly. All he saw was a groggy, underground cave-like space around him. ?On the ground not far away, there was a strange "kerosene lamp", and the swaying firelight reflected the scene inside the cave. A strange animal corpse three meters high and six to seven meters long was lying in front of Xia En. ?Its head seemed to have been hit by some kind of blunt instrument, and it was beyond recognition. ?Shaan could only barely tell that this was probably some kind of lizard-like monster. ?It is completely red, with red sarcomas on its back and crown, which look like organs that store energy. Fine scales are spread all over the body, and the four claws are very sharp. ?There are scars from being beaten with blunt objects all over the body of the lizard monster, and many places were directly dented. Dark red blood accumulated under its body, and the water evaporated under the high temperature, leaving only clots of clotted blood. Combined with the surrounding potholes on the ground and walls, it is not difficult to see that a fierce battle took place in this cave. One of the fighting parties has died, so where is the other party at this time? ?Suddenly, Xia En felt something was wrong. ?Perspective! ?His angle of view is much shorter than usual! Just now, Xia En''s attention was focused on the surrounding environment and he hadn''t noticed anything wrong yet. But when he looked up at the height of the lizard and the burrow, he suddenly woke up. ?Xia En quickly looked down at his right hand, and what he saw was a completely unfamiliar palm. ?This palm looks short and thick, and there is a layer of calluses. On the arm, he wears a unique style of arm armor, the craftsmanship is very complex and exquisite. Xia En looked at other parts of his body and found that not only his palms, but his entire body had become unusually short and thick. Like...the dwarves he had seen before! Obviously, this is definitely not his own body! Xia En looked shocked and murmured: "What''s going on?" He took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and carefully sensed his own condition. Soon, Xia En discovered that just like when he was [submersible] in the past, he could still feel the existence of his own body, and he could also release the [submersible] state at any time. In other words, the essence of his body is still the [projection body]. ??Its just that when entering the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], a special mutation occurred, causing the [Projected Body] to slip into a strange body. After Xia En carefully analyzed it, he immediately had a guess in his mind. ??The "squeezing" force he felt before was probably the repulsive force coming from the [Furnace Secret Realm]. After all, to this world, Shane is a veritable stowaway. This is different from the situation in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]. [Blood Moon Secret Realm] itself is a secret realm that relies on [Seven Seas World], and [Secret Realm] has always regarded the secret travelers of [Seven Seas World] as its own. ? And Xia En possesses the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], which is equivalent to being recognized by the [Rhine Secret Realm], and is even regarded as the [Lord of the Rhine]. So, he can decide to let outsiders enter the [Rhine Secret Realm] without being rejected by the will of the [Secret Realm]. But to [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is like a thief who broke into this place, and it is inevitable that he will be hostile. ?In this case, the [Projection Body] was forced to get into the body of an aboriginal in [The Furnace Secret Realm] to avoid the pressure of the will of the [Secret Realm]. ?However, this is obviously not without impact. ?Shaan glanced at the panel. Projector''s name: BronzebeardWarhammer Race: Dwarf Current comprehensive quality: 3.5! His current overall quality is only about one-third of what it was under normal conditions. Taking into account the need to adapt to an unfamiliar body, the combat power that Xia En can exert will only be lower. ?Of course, Xia En also realized that he could actually temporarily let the [projection body] leave this body to fight, thus unleashing his full combat power. ?However, doing so may cause the will of [Secret Realm] to be rejected, causing [Submarine] to end prematurely. It can be regarded as a trump card when forced to do so. After sorting out the situation, Xia En forced himself to stand up. It was then that he saw a huge war hammer lying next to the giant lizard corpse. At a rough estimate, it seems to be longer than the height of Shane''s body. Obviously, this is the weapon of this "Bronzebeard Warhammer". ?Xia En picked up the war hammer and felt warm and hard to the touch, and there was an inexplicable feeling like being driven by an arm. ?That is probably the muscle memory remaining in this body, which can be turned into some good fighting skills. This hammer ?Xia En looked at the warhammer carefully and was suddenly surprised. ?The entire hammer is made of an unknown material. It seems to have used some special forging process. The quality and hardness are very good. ?Furthermore, there is a special quenching pattern on the surface of the warhammer, which is a bit like flames and a bit like thorns. ?The strange thing is that this pattern actually gives Xia En a sense of familiarity. As if I have seen it somewhere. Quenchingforging Xia En suddenly realized: "By the way, it''s Xian Ge!" Bronze Dragon String Song seems to have similar lines generated when using [Forging Fire Technique]. At this moment. ?There was a sound of footsteps in the cave not far away. (End of this chapter) Chapter 278 【Fire】【Warhammer Tribe】 Chapter 278 [Fire Seed] [Warhammer Tribe] ?A rush of footsteps broke the silence in the underground cave. ?Xia En held the sledgehammer, turned his head, and looked warily towards the direction where the footsteps came from. I saw a group of dwarf warriors wearing refined armor walking out of a corridor, looking for something nervously and anxiously. The first thing they saw was naturally the huge red lizard and the horrific injuries on its body. Its the Salamander just now! It looks like he died not long ago, and there are signs of fighting nearby! Look around quickly, maybe Bronzebeard is still alive! Hearing these words, Xia En immediately understood that these dwarves came to search and rescue "himself". Based on Xia Ens observation just now, it has been basically determined ??Although the fire lizard was killed by a heavy hammer, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" also suffered irreparable injuries during the battle with it, and eventually died. This gave the [Projection Body] the opportunity to occupy this corpse. ?Thinking of this, Xia En let out a low groan: "Well..." Hearing the sound, the dwarves quickly passed over the body of the Salamander and saw Xia En who seemed to have just woken up from a coma. Thats great, Brother Bronzebeard! Its great to see you again. ??A bearded dwarf said excitedly: "You actually killed this beast alone. You are worthy of being the most heroic warrior in the tribe!" Another dwarf also expressed his happiness: "I thought... I would never see you again." ?But soon, the dwarves noticed that Xia En looked a little confused, as if he didn''t understand what was happening. Bronzebeard, are you okay? With vigilance in his eyes, Xia En said hoarsely: "Who are you...?" Hmm? Whats going on? Hearing this, the dwarves'' faces changed slightly and they said in surprise: "You, don''t you recognize us?" ?Xia En didnt speak, but looked at them suspiciously and warily. The dwarf doctor in the team carefully observed Shane''s condition and speculated: "His head seems to have been hit hard by the Salamander. This kind of injury may cause temporary amnesia." Hissamnesia Hearing this judgment, the dwarves looked a little sad. At first, the bearded dwarf even apologized: "It''s all my fault. If only I could come back with help as soon as possible..." In fact, Bronzebeard was not the only one who encountered the Fire Lizard before. It''s just that the strength of these companions is far inferior to Bronzebeard, and remaining will only become a drag. In order to cut off their rear, Bronzebeard took the initiative to stay and fight the Salamander. Dont be so pessimistic. The dwarf doctor said: "No matter what, Bronzebeard is still alive, he just lost his memory temporarily." In the future, there will be a chance to recover the memory. There may be other fire species lairs nearby, so wed better go home as soon as possible. The words of the dwarf doctor immediately attracted the recognition of others, so they carried the body of the fire lizard, took Xia En with them, and walked towards the way they came. Such a fire lizard is a very valuable trophy for the Warhammer tribe. ??Dwarves certainly have no reason to waste. ?Perhaps out of apology or concern, the bearded dwarf followed Xia En and took the initiative to speak. Let me introduce myself, I am Kull, and I was your good brother before you lost your memory. If you want to know anything, you can ask me. As he spoke, Kull patted Shane on the shoulder, with a hint of guilt still in his eyes. Hearing this, Xia Ens eyes lit up slightly. The theory of "amnesia" was of course made up by him to deal with the dwarves. This is also the best strategy at the moment. After all, he inherited Bronzebeard''s body, but not the dwarf''s memory. If he communicated normally with the dwarves, the secret would be exposed soon. I have to say that although this routine is very old, it is more effective than it is! At this time, Kuhl is undoubtedly a good source of intelligence. Not long after, Shane asked Kuer several questions. ??Kul also answered with great patience. ?According to Kuhl, Shane learned that this group of dwarves had been living in this strange underground cave since birth. ?Countless complex and ancient tunnels, caves excavated at unknown times, and naturally formed caves... together constitute this huge underground world. In the mouths of the dwarves, this underground world is called... Ghana! means a space that is always hot and exists underground. ??The "Warhammer" tribe where Bronzebeard and Kull belong is only one of many dwarf tribes, and they are among the weaker ones. So the area where I live is relatively remote. It is said that those truly powerful and prosperous dwarf tribes have established real cities underground! Goooo! ??Just when Shane was asking for information from Kuhl, a dull roar suddenly came from the tunnel not far away. Hearing this sound, the dwarves couldn''t help but change their expressions. They quickly put down the body of the Salamander and hid in the corner of the cave. ??Kul also took Xia En and hid aside. All the dwarves held their breath, not even daring to take a breath. Obviously, they were very afraid of the roaring presence in the tunnel, as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Soon, the vague feeling of pressure and heaviness began to dissipate, the air became extremely hot, and the body temperature increased several degrees. Even with the physique of the dwarves adapted to the [Furnace Secret Realm], sweat could not help but drip from their bodies, and their backs were covered with sweat. Fortunately, this heavy pressure did not last long. For a moment, the being hidden in the tunnel seemed to have turned away from the cave and gradually moved away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started to act again. ??Kul also took a long breath and said to himself: "It was so dangerous...I almost hit another Agni." Fire type? ?Xia En asked curiously. ? He ??remembered that in the [Possible Loot] column of [The Furnace Secret Realm], "Fire Seed" appeared. ??Moreover, the lizard that Bronzebeard killed earlier also had a simple and crude name like "Salamander". Brother Bronzebeard, you have even forgotten this... ??Kul glanced at Shane sympathetically, but still explained: "In this underground world, dwarves have never been the real masters." Fire is the favorite of [Ghana]. They are born with strong bodies, hard scales, and can directly control fire. Only a team of dwarves can kill a Salamander like before. Speaking of this, the guilt in Kulls eyes became even greater. "Brother Bronzebeard, if you hadn''t lost your memory, your victory over the Fire Lizard alone would rank among the top five in our clan." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. He was a little surprised before. With the strength displayed by these dwarves, they did not seem to be very dangerous to the [Projection Body]. ?Now that I think about it, the real danger is not necessarily the dwarves, but the fire seeds hidden deep in the caves. ?That is the real strong man in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. ?However, Xia En couldn''t help but think of another question. ??These dwarves, in terms of racial characteristics, are no different from the dwarves in the [Seven Seas World]. It can even be said that they are the same species! ?So, why do dwarves live in the [Forge Secret Realm]? ??Moreover, from Kuhls description, they have lived here for at least hundreds of years? ?Xia En had a bold guess in his heart. Perhaps, the ancestors of these dwarves came from the [Secret Sea World]! They came to the [Secret Realm of the Furnace] through some special method and settled here, continuing the race to this day. So, the Agni people are the original inhabitants of the [Furnace Secret Realm]. The dwarves are just a group of outsiders! This can also explain why [The Furnace Secret Realm] has a high degree of correlation with [Seven Seas World]. Why the Agni species naturally have great advantages in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The reason why Xia En came up with this guess was because he recalled the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm]. Hundreds of years ago, when the first great flood came. Since those despicable vampires can choose to sacrifice the residents of a city, let the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] break away from the [Seven Seas World] and sink into the [Secret Sea], thereby avoiding the disaster of annihilation. ?Then, dwarves may also have the ability to hide in other [secret realms]. ?Although this is just a guess, Xia En is already 70% to 80% sure. There is no sunlight in caves located underground. But in the walls of the tunnel, a red crystal can occasionally be seen, emitting a faint but firm light. ?Looking from a distance, it looks like there is a fire burning deep in the rock wall. ?Kool explained to Shane that it was a specialty of [Ghana] - lava mine. Not only can it play a lighting role, as a fuel for "mining lamps", it is also widely used in the forging of various equipment and weapons. The so-called "mining lamp" is the weird lamp that Shane saw before. It is also one of the necessary equipment for every dwarf to travel. ?However, even if the lava mines were so useful, the dwarves would not dig out the lava mines in every rock wall. Instead, they will deliberately leave some lava mines for lighting in important passages. Because in this world, darkness is a very terrifying existence. ??If a dwarf is in a dark environment, he will start to murmur meaninglessly within a day, and his rationality will gradually slip towards madness. The longer the time goes on, the more unstable the mind will become. Even if they return to the light after this, they will leave indelible mental scars. No dwarf can last three days in the absence of light. Because once the three days are up, the dwarf will mysteriously disappear and never be seen again, as if... he was completely swallowed by some existence in the darkness. Because of these complex reasons, the closer we get to the Warhammer tribe, the more lava minerals contained in the rock walls increase. The passage also looks brighter and brighter. At the same time, the temperature in the air is gradually heating up, and there is a slight burning feeling on the surface of the body. ?However, the dwarves such as Kuhl are very adaptable to the temperature here, with a relaxed smile on their faces. Obviously, in the long process of survival and evolution, the dwarves have also evolved a physique adapted to the [Forge Secret Realm]. After passing through a slightly lengthy tunnel. Xia En''s vision suddenly broadened. What appeared in front of us was a spacious space like an underground hall. ??In the central rock formation above this underground space, there is a huge red crystal, like a small sun, providing light to the entire space. On the surrounding rock walls, there are scattered caves embedded in themthese are the residences of each dwarf. ?Although it may seem a bit sloppy, this kind of collective settlement can greatly protect the safety of ordinary dwarves. In the center of the entire space, there stands a huge furnace. Something seems to be being forged in the furnace. Around the furnace, several strong dwarves were beating a red metal block with hammers larger than their bodies. Dang! clang! clang! With a sonorous and powerful knocking sound, the metal block gradually took shape, and many small scale-like lines appeared on the surface. At this time, one of the dwarves with white beard and hair poured a basin of thick blood onto the metal block. With a "chi" sound, blood-colored steam steamed up. The unique secret power in the blood is integrated into the metal block in a wonderful way, giving it a magical luster. Xia En watched this scene intently, and couldn''t help but feel a little amazed in his heart. ?He has long heard that the dwarves'' forging skills are extremely excellent, and when he saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. But then again, as far as Xia En knows... The dwarves of the Seven Seas seem to have lost some important inheritance, causing the forged equipment to lose its soul and deteriorate in quality. Now, Xia En was able to witness a lost skill, and he was inevitably shocked. At this time, the forging of the dwarves seemed to have come to an end temporarily. ??The dwarf with a white beard and bare arms also noticed the return of Xia En and others, and stretched out his hand to greet them. Bronzebeard, Kull, are you back? Thats good, I even brought back a fire lizard. Im worried that the blood of the fire lizard is not enough! ??Kul was about to speak but stopped: "Master Patriarch..." "Um?" ??The patriarch named Hope has a straightforward personality and couldn''t stand Kull''s hesitant attitude, so he asked. If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, let it go! What does it look like? Hearing this, Kull had no choice but to say: "Brother Bronzebeard seemed to have injured his brain during the battle with the Salamander and temporarily lost his memory." As soon as these words came out, all the dwarves were shocked and looked at Xia En with surprised eyes. ?Xia En also noticed something was wrong at this time. Under normal circumstances, this kind of amnesia should not be publicized in such a big way. Or does Cool have other purposes? ?Hope glanced at Kull with a hint of meaning, then turned to look at Shane and asked: "Bronzebeard, is that so?" ?Shane nodded "confused" and "innocently", playing the state of an amnesia patient very well. ??Hope said calmly: "Okay, Bronzebeard, you go back to your cave to rest first." Ill come find you later. (End of this chapter) Chapter 279 Malice from the world Chapter 279 Malice from the world Shaen, who had "amnesia", naturally couldn''t remember where his cave was. Under the leadership of a dwarf, he returned to his "home". It is said to be "home", but in fact the interior layout of this cave is extremely simple. ?There is only a stone bed and a stone bench. ?The walls are decorated with animal heads, skins and swords, hanging even a little messily. From this, it can be seen that, except for the advanced forging technology, the living conditions of the dwarves are definitely not very good. ??Moreover, Xia En was the only one in this simple living room. Previously, from Kull, Shane learned that Bronzebeards parents had passed away long ago and there were no other relatives in the family. This is undoubtedly good news for Shane, which greatly reduces the possibility of him being exposed. Along the way, he also heard some whispers among the dwarves, and then he understood the meaning of the meaningful look in Chief Hope''s eyes. It turns out that Kull and Bronzebeard are the two most prestigious young men in the Warhammer tribe. ??Kul is good at forging and blacksmithing. Bronzebeard is extremely talented in combat - as evidenced by the fire lizard that died with him earlier. The two of them are also regarded by other tribesmen as candidates for the next tribe leader. This time, Kull and Bronzebeard went out together. As a result, Bronzebeard accidentally lost his memory, but Kull was unscathed, which inevitably makes people a little suspicious. Back in the cave, Xia En touched his chin and whispered to himself: "That''s it." ?He had vaguely sensed something was wrong before. ??Kool''s attitude towards himself was particularly enthusiastic, and when he said the word "good brother", his expression was slightly weird. ?However, Xia Ens purpose is not simple either. ?Coupled with the stereotype that dwarves have always been straightforward and reckless, he subconsciously ignored these anomalies. ?But thinking about it now, Xia En immediately realized that Bronzebeard''s death in the battle might not be a coincidence, but a long-planned conspiracy. ?Perhaps, when Bronzebeard was cutting off Kull''s rear, Kull deliberately slowed down his return with reinforcements. By the time the dwarves arrived at Bronzebeard''s side, it was already too late. ??Kul can also safely sit on the throne of the next patriarch. But no one expected that a shadow from outside the [Furnace Secret Realm] would occupy Bronzebeard''s body, and this was the story behind it. ?Of course, there are still many things in this guess that Sean has not been able to confirm, and some are even just subjective inferences. But mere speculation is enough. In fact, Shaan is not very interested in Bronzebeard''s interpersonal relationships, or even the Warhammer tribe as a whole. After all, the combat power of this group of dwarves is not that strong. Even the white-bearded dwarf leader, in Xia Ens opinion, has about a third-level combat power. Even if Xia En does not use the trump card of [Projection Body] and only uses the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer", he may still be able to defeat the opponent. Strength is confidence! From another perspective, the identity of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is also something that can be given up for Xia En. ?? I am really forced to do it as a last resort, so I just show my cards and stop pretending! So, although Xia En vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, he did not take the initiative to do anything. He only thought that the soldiers would come to block it and the water would come to cover it up. Compared with these trivial matters, he cares more about... What can you bring to yourself by exploring the [Forge Secret Realm]? ?Xia En''s eyes flashed with thought, and he quickly listed several goals in his mind. First of all, that strange lava mine is a specialty of [The Furnace Secret Realm] and may have unique effects. He will definitely get a few pieces to take back to [Seven Seas World]. Secondly, the body structure of Agni is very different from the creatures in the Seven Seas World. ?This creature itself is a precious material. Finally, the unique forging and smelting secrets of the dwarves are also very valuable. ?From Xia Ens observation, the properties of materials forged by dwarves tend to be greatly improved. And extremely solid and durable. Such a stable output will be a very popular product whether it is for personal use or for trade. ?However, Xia En obviously does not have the energy and time to learn this technology by himself - it is too late for him to just improve his own strength, so where can he find the time to become a blacksmith? ?Thinking of this, Xia En had a dangerous idea in his mind. It would be great if we could kidnap a few dwarf craftsmen "Um?" ?Xia Ens eyes widened slightly, as if he had discovered a blind spot. ?That''s right, he himself didn''t have time to learn the dwarves'' forging techniques, but as long as he packed the dwarves directly and took them away, wouldn''t there be so many problems? Not only the dwarves, but also their homes, these huge furnaces and hammers, were also taken away. ?Of course, Xia En did not intend to take the dwarves away by force like the slave trade. ?Given that the environment of [Rhine Secret Realm] is much better than [Furnace Secret Realm], maybe there will be a group of dwarves willing to leave with him? Just like the previous [Moon-Yong Clan] and [Treant Clan]. By then, [Rhine Secret Land] will not only have a hard-working labor force, but also craftsmen who master advanced craftsmanship. The construction of [Rhine City] will definitely advance rapidly. The excess equipment forged can also be traded on the Seven Seas in exchange for seeds, materials and equipment. Even one day, maybe Xia En can cultivate a kingdom of his own in the [Rhine Secret Realm]? Just imagining that scene, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but beat fast, and he felt a strong sense of anticipation. ?However, dreams are very full and reality is very skinny. At this time, a crucial question was placed in front of Xia En He must first have the ability to take away the dwarves and the lava mine! Shane has just checked. Probably because it is in the [submersible] state and is in another [secret realm]. The space ring on his body cannot be used, and the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] on his chest has temporarily lost its response. This means that the only loot he can take away is the one at the end of [Submarine]! There is still a long way to go to establish a stable passage between [Seven Seas World] and [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The secret technique that connects two [secret realms] ?Xia En touched his chin and remembered the **** full moon on the sea. That was the way for vampires to enter the "Blood Moon Secret Realm". Since this precedent exists, there will definitely be similar secret techniques in the Seven Seas. As one of the centers of the Federation, [Liu Li Island] may have records of such secret techniques. ?Thinking of this, Xia En silently remembered this matter in his heart. Just when Shane was thinking about these questions. In the open space below, many dwarves were enthusiastically dismantling the body of the Salamander. For the dwarves, fire seeds are full of treasures! Their flesh and blood is food. It can nourish the bodies of dwarves, allowing them to become stronger and gradually adapt to the hot environment. Their blood is an indispensable raw material for forging equipment, and can provide mysterious and strange blessings to the equipment. Their claws and scales are all made of fine materials. Some of them can be used as useful tools with just simple polishing. When the Salamander was disembowelled, its bronze skeleton was exposed. Xia En couldn''t help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes. ?He was still curious before, obviously he didnt see any metal mines in [Forge World], so where did the metal on the hammer and armor come from. ?Now, when he saw the skeleton inside the Salamander, Xia En understood everything immediately. It turns out that these fire species have some special ability to continuously absorb metal elements from the air, soil, and food, and integrate these metal elements into their own bones. For ordinary creatures, this is undoubtedly a road to death. But for the Agni, this has already become their instinct. Thats why their bones become natural metal mines and become the materials used by the dwarves for forging. In the mouths of the dwarves, there seem to be different standards for classifying the fire types. ?Like the one brought back by Xia En and others, it is a "bronze" fire type. Soon, the dwarves dug out a large red crystal from the heart of the Salamander. Even though the Salamander has been dead for a long time, this crystal is still emitting a hot and bright light. It is the lava deposit that exists in the rock wall! Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised again. The lava mine is actually the heart of the fire species? ?The red light in the walls of [The Furnace Secret Realm], could it be the corpses of one fire species after another? Or should we say that every fire species is born in a rock formation with lava as its core? ?No matter what, this discovery made Xia En feel very novel. The world is full of wonders. Different environments have created different ecosystems and ways of living. In every secret realm, there will probably be a unique and exclusive race like [Fire Type]. at the same time. ?In the corner of the cave, the bearded Kuhl also returned to his home. ?But as soon as he entered the cave, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, pacing back and forth, and muttering to himself at the same time. How could...how could it be possible... Bronzebeard actually killed a Salamander and survived? Soon, a strong female dwarf walked out of the cave. According to the dwarven aesthetic standards, her appearance is very iconic, and she can be regarded as a "beauty." This female dwarf is called Mary, and she is Kull''s wife. Hearing Kull''s voice, Mary''s expression also changed slightly: "What? Your plan failed?" ??Kul was obviously a little afraid of his wife, and said cowardly in a low voice: "It''s not a complete failure..." The current Bronzebeard has lost his memory. ?Mary sneered and said: "But he still survived, and he is much stronger than you!" Oh no, to be precise, he should be stronger than before, right? Are you sure that no matter which tribe you belong to, only the strong can become the leader? Even the level of forging is important, but the leader of a clan must still be able to fight! ?Mary''s words poured out like a barrage of cannonballs, severely penetrating Kull''s already fragile defense. Ive said it before, as long as Bronzebeard is alive, you will never be the leader of the Warhammer Tribe! As she spoke, Mary''s eyes showed a little regret. If I had known you would be so indecisive, maybe I shouldnt have left my tribe to marry you! ?This sentence was undoubtedly extremely lethal to Kuhl. He covered his face in great pain and asked helplessly. Then what should I do now? ?Mary''s tone was still cold: "If you find an opportunity, do it again." ??Kul muttered to himself in confusion: "But now that he has returned home, where can he find an opportunity?" As long as you are willing to wait, there is always an opportunity ?Mary''s eyes were burning with dark fire as she murmured to herself. ?The reason why she insists on making Kuhl the leader of the Warhammer tribe is of course not just because of the so-called vanity, but also because of her mission. Where there are people, there will be strife. ??Dwarves are no exception. The tribe that Mary came from is a "Barbarian Axe Tribe" that is closer to the "Warhammer Tribe". Due to conflicts over territory and resources, there were frequent struggles between the two tribes, and a battle even broke out at one point. ?And Mary is the chess piece laid by the Wild Ax Tribe in the Warhammer Tribe. Although the dwarves are generally straightforward and reckless, it does not mean that there are no people among them who are good at conspiracy. ?In the Wild Ax Tribes vision, as long as Mary becomes the wife of the next leader, she can annex the Warhammer Tribe. At the beginning, Bronzebeard and Kull, as outstanding young men among the younger generation, pursued Mary, a dwarf beauty. But at that time, Bronzebeard had not yet shown his fighting talent. So, Mary chose Cool as her husband. Who would have thought that later, Bronzebeard''s strength would advance by leaps and bounds, but Kull would fall behind. In order to complete her mission, Mary came up with the evil plan, and this led to the current conversation. But for Kuhl, this is undoubtedly a double torture. On one side are your own tribe and your former friends. On the other side, there is the desire for power in his heart and his beloved wife. Such a pulling feeling almost drove him crazy! Mary, why dont you forget it? Its a good day like this, isnt it? Looking at Kull who looked pained and cautious, Mary''s eyes flashed with pity. But the next moment, the softness in her eyes was replaced by determination. She still has the stubborn and persistent character of a dwarf after all, and will never give up until she achieves her goal! ?However, Mary had not yet said anything. Boom! From the depths of the cave across the layers of rock walls, there was a sudden roar. Immediately afterwards, the rock walls around the two people began to shake violently. Click click The entire underground space was shaking, and dust and gravel continued to fall from the ceiling. The incident occurred suddenly, and the dwarves of the Warhammer tribe fell into panic. What happened? Is the cave, is the cave going to collapse? ?Among the panicked dwarves, only the patriarch Hope remained calm. ?His face was extremely ugly and he murmured: "The ground is rumbling! The ground is rumbling!" In the cave, Xia En couldn''t help but frowned, his expression solemn. For some reason, he had a strong premonition. ?This sudden disaster came because of him! Its like That is the malice from the whole world! (End of this chapter) Chapter 280 [Metal Furnace] [Lizard King] Chapter 280 [The Furnace Strategy] [The Lizard King] ??Rumble Violent vibrations shook the underground space. Rock formations, rock walls, caves and other structures appear less stable and safe under this huge force. There were gravels constantly falling from the top of the head, and even the light from the lava mines in the rock wall became a little dim. What frightens the dwarves even more is the roar one after another coming from the deeper space. It seems that if this continues, the entire underground cave will collapse and bury them all in it! Is this the sound of the earth? ?Xia En frowned, and his mood was also very solemn. But the reason for his solemn mood was different from that of the dwarves. The dwarves may have thought that this was an unexpected disaster, but in Xia En''s opinion, this "earth rumbling" was coming for him! ?This feeling has no basis, it is just pure intuition, but Xia En is inexplicably 70% to 80% sure. Obviously, this is related to his status as a "smuggler". In the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En is blessed by the will of the [Secret Realm], and naturally has stronger luck than ordinary people, and it is easier to encounter opportunities and treasures. Even as the degree of exploration increases, this blessing can continue to grow. This is the benefit of [Secret Realm]s will recognition. But for [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En is equivalent to the so-called "extraterritorial demon", and the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely be hostile and malicious. He may have noticed traces of "stowaways" in this area, so he triggered "earth cries" in the area, hoping to kill or force out the little bug. ?This made Xia En both surprised and afraid. ?On the one hand, he felt that the world will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] thought too highly of him, and actually used such a method directly. On the other hand, Xia En feels that this "earth ringing" is just the beginning! ?The worlds evil will not cause just one disaster. ??As long as Xia En is still in the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], I am afraid he will be targeted continuously. But when he thought of this, Xia Ens first reaction was not fear, but excitement! ?Shane has never been a timid person, otherwise he would have found an island to live in seclusion after paying off his debts. At present, the will of [The Furnace Secret Realm] does not allow Xia En to stay in this world, but instead stimulates his rebellious psychology. You want to drive me away, but I wont go! ?Xia En also gradually developed an ambition in his heart - He wants to conquer this [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] just like he conquered the underwater ruins under the sea! ?Shane turned his head and looked at Hope below, and found that although the dwarf leader was a little panicked, he was far from desperate. Obviously, if the Warhammer Horde can continue in [The Crucible], it must have its own trump card. As expected. Soon, Hope shouted loudly: "Come to my place to gather!" As the leader of the Warhammer Tribe, Hope''s authority is unquestionable. His roar immediately woke up many dwarves and moved towards him. Just a moment. The dwarves ran out of their caves, some carrying sledgehammers, and some carrying iron pots on their heads. ?This is not to protect one''s own property. But these cold iron tools can bring them an indescribable sense of security. Xia En also jumped down from the cave and joined the crowd. ?At this time, he discovered that the population of the Warhammer tribe was indeed small, only a few hundred people. When this disaster that was very likely to destroy the entire tribe struck, the dwarves also showed extremely strong cohesion and a considerable degree of order. The older dwarves carried the younger dwarves on their backs, the men led the women, and the strong ones led the ones with limited mobility. Even when Xia En came out of the cave, some dwarves looked at him as an "amnesia patient" with concern. It can be seen that they all regard this underground cave as their home. It also means that Xia Ens future abduction plan may not go so smoothly. In the crowd, Shane naturally saw Kull and his wife. ??But for some reason, Kull''s eyes were a little averted when he looked at him. Instead, the female dwarf he didn''t know looked at him with a dark and unclear look. ??Xia En was also keenly aware of a hint of well-hidden hostility from the female dwarf. Combining the previous speculations, Xia En vaguely guessed something. ?However, he didn''t say anything, he just came to Hope with the other dwarves and gathered around the huge furnace. The flames in the furnace are still burning brightly, making crackling sounds and emitting hot temperatures from time to time. ?Shaan originally thought that the furnace was just a forging tool. But as the dwarves gathered, he soon discovered that this was not the case. Wait until the dwarves gathered around the furnace. ??The patriarch Hope picked up the sledgehammer and hit the big iron stove with all his strength. ?The iron furnace was vibrating, making a magnificent and ancient sound, like the sound of a bell. Immediately afterwards, a deeply hidden secret power rose from the depths of the furnace. ??The surface of the huge furnace also gradually lit up with numerous rough red lines, blooming with flickering brilliance. The moment the red lines appeared, Xia En immediately felt that the shaking rock walls around him became stable and the vibrations were no longer so violent. It is as if this space has been reinforced by some special secret power to resist the "earth ringing" deep underground. And Hopes actions are just the beginning! Subsequently, the surrounding dwarves, all of whom could hold the war hammer, struck the huge furnace with a hammer. Dang! clang! clang! ?One knock after another, one after another, sounded in this trembling underground space. ?Each time you hit it, the surface of the furnace will have more lines and become brighter. By this time, Xia En gradually saw the shapes of those lines clearly. It is actually somewhat similar to the magic pattern of [Seven Sea World], but it is also like some kind of totem or mural, recording some unique information. However, due to the urgency of the situation, Xia En could not remember it in detail. At the same time, the unspeakable secret power in the furnace began to undergo even more bizarre changes. ?It not only vaguely connects this underground space with the furnace, but also fuses the aura of the entire Warhammer tribe into one, thus becoming stronger and stronger. It feels like putting the power of all the dwarves in the Warhammer tribe into a furnace. In the forging of the furnace fire, we usher in a wonderful sublimation. ?This power is a bit like the power of faith, but it is obviously different, as if it also condenses the power of blood and the power of lava mines. Obviously, this is a fighting method unique to the dwarves of [Melting World]! Looking at this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little moved, and he also restrained the slight contempt in his heart. ??The power of a single dwarf may not be that strong, but when the power of the entire tribe is gathered together, such a blazing flame bursts out. More importantly. ?Shaan also saw from the actions of the dwarves their struggle and tenacity in such a harsh environment. ?Like the hard rocks on the coast that are not broken by wind or rain, people always feel a little respect for them. ?Moreover, Xia En thought a little more. The essence of the melting pot strategy seems to be to melt the collective strength into one. So, can the [Black Swan], myself, and the crew on the ship use such a strategy? Boom ??The roar from deep underground continues. But the underground space where the Warhammer tribe is located has become strangely stable. The rock walls on all sides are as indestructible as fine steel and remain motionless, making you feel safe. ?Xia En stayed among the crowd, intending to wait silently for the "earth ringing" to subside. ??If it was true, as Shane suspected, that the Earthly Stone came about because of him, then the Warhammer Tribe would have blocked a shot for him. It would be great if we could spend it safely. However, Xia En was a little curious: "What is the so-called ground rumbling?" The dwarf next to him also knew about Bronzebeard''s amnesia and explained kindly. It is said that thousands of meters deep beneath our feet, there is a [Fire] that has existed since ancient times. Its size is extremely large, and it has almost infinite strength and lifespan. Some people say that the reason why our world is called [Ghana] is because of it! Its name is [Ghana]! Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. ??Although he has only explored a very small area of ??the [Forge Secret Realm] now, he still doesnt know how big this world is. But just imagining a creature that can be directly named after a world is enough to understand how terrifying it is. So, the earths ringing is actually its Thats right. The dwarf beside him nodded and continued: "When [Gana] moves or breathes, there will be a phenomenon of earth ringing." However, because [Ghana] is too big. Sometimes, maybe it just moves its head, or it may cause ground rumbling in a local area. The current earthquake is actually relatively small-scale. The truly terrifying earthquake is when [Gana] turns over... When he said this, the dwarf couldn''t help but murmured with obvious fear on his face. Such a thundering sound has only occurred twice in the history that has been handed down. After hearing these words, Xia En learned more about the harsh living conditions in the [Forge Secret Realm]. In such an underground space, the lethality caused by the roar of the earth can only be described as terrifying. It is hard to imagine how the first dwarves who migrated to the [Forge Secret Realm] survived such a disaster. The dwarves'' furnace tactics were obviously forced to develop after disaster after disaster. Thinking of this, Xia En sighed softly: "It''s really amazing." Whats so great about it? ??The dwarf next to him was a little puzzled and muttered in a low voice: "It''s just to survive." ??While Xia En and the dwarf were chatting casually, the violent vibrations coming from deep underground finally began to subside. The faces of many dwarves also showed smiles of surviving the disaster. Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake was not too high this time, and there were no casualties in the Warhammer tribe. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the dwarves who are used to seeing life and death. Just suddenly. Boom! ?Another very close and loud roar exploded in everyone''s ears. ?Above the dwarves, thick cracks suddenly appeared on the rock wall that had seemed indestructible before. Almost in the blink of an eye, these cracks quickly connected together until they spread to the entire rock wall. The next moment. ?The hard rock wall continued to collapse in front of everyone, and the gravel fell one after another. Fortunately, the fire blooming in the furnace was effective again, turning into an invisible barrier to protect the dwarves. ?Xia En thought it was another wave of ground rumblings that suddenly hit. ??But through the hole in the rock formation above, he saw an extremely huge claw, and... an eye with a crimson vertical pupil! ??Not only Xia En, but all the dwarves also saw this behemoth in an instant and exclaimed in surprise. That, thats... Its the Lizard King! Damn it, it must have been woken up by the rumbling of the ground! Obviously, the dwarves are no strangers to this creature named [Fire Lizard King]. Some dwarves have even come into direct contact with itbut that is usually when the [Lemon King] is sleeping. In fact, the appearance of [Fire Lizard King] is just a coincidence. ??It was sleeping peacefully in the cave above, but was suddenly awakened by a rumble of the ground. It just so happened that it landed near the Warhammer tribe. ?And now that Im awake, I have to eat something. Just then, it smelled the breath of living creatures again, raised its paws, and dug a big hole. At this time, how could [King Lizard] not enjoy the food that was "sent to his door"? In the crowd, Xia En looked serious. He did not think that the appearance of this big lizard was a coincidence. The ground rumbling before is indeed just the beginning, the real danger is yet to come! At this time. The [Fierce Lizard King] couldnt wait to reach out his claws, trying to grab the dwarf below and swallow it directly into his mouth. ?Its claws are extremely large and can only fit through the large hole above. Immediately afterwards, the sharp claws of [King Lizard] hit the barrier condensed by the secret power of the furnace, making a muffled sound. After the collision, the faces of the dwarves suddenly turned pale, and their breaths became a little sluggish. Compared to the ground roar coming from deep underground, such a close attack is more difficult to resist. People can even see that the barriers in mid-air have undergone obvious deformations. Roar! Fierce Lizard King roared and swatted it down with one claw again. It will definitely eat the meat inside this "turtle shell" today! Bang! Bang! Bang! ?In each collision, the secret power barrier becomes lighter and lighter, and the texture on the surface of the furnace becomes darker and darker. The fire began to dissipate. The mood of despair gradually spread among the dwarves. Some fragile dwarves even began to sob softly. Facing the [Fire Lizard], they can still find ways to hunt it, but against the [Fire Lizard King], they have no way to deal with it. This is the gap in absolute strength. But suddenly at this moment. One of the dwarves stood up and walked out of the mysterious power barrier. ??Hope couldn''t help but widen his eyes: "Bronzebeard, what do you want to do?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 281 The special features of [Secret Power of the Void] Chapter 281 The special features of [The Secret Power of the Void] The figure walking out from the dwarves was naturally Xia En. Its just that neither the patriarch Hope nor his former friend Kull can understand what he wants to do at this time. Fight this [Fierce Lizard King]? What a joke! ? ?Only one [Fire Lizard King] will be born for every hundred [Fire Lizards], and the strength gap between the dwarves and it can hardly be made up by quantity. That''s why Hope chose this almost humiliating tactic of shrinking to fight the enemy. In fact, what Hope is doing now is nothing more than hoping to consume as much of the [Lemon King]''s physical strength as possible before the Warhammer Tribe''s furnace is destroyed. Then, after the secret power barrier is broken, more dwarf warriors can escape. Or, the [Fierce Lizard King] was so tired that he no longer wanted to chase the scattered tribesmen. ?Such a tactic is certainly very pessimistic and ugly, and is bound to kill most of the same race. But at least this will allow some tribesmen to survive and allow the Warhammer tribe to continue! It can be said that this is the best option that Hope can think of. But now, Bronzebeard actually got out from under the protection of the furnace alone? ?? Could it be that his brain not only lost his memory after the collision with the [Fire Lizard], but was directly damaged? ?Shocked and shocked, Hope finally valued this young and brave warrior of the Warhammer tribe, so he shouted loudly. Bronzebeard, come back! ?Not just him, the other dwarves also anxiously tried to dissuade him. You are no match for [Lizard King]! Bronzebeard, you will die! However, Xia En never changed his expression in response to these dissuasion that were doubtful, surprising, or incomprehensible. ??He just raised the sledgehammer in his hand that was longer than his own body, pointed at the [Fire Lizard King] above the cave, and shouted. Beasts, come and fight! For a moment, the cave fell into a brief silence. Looking at this scene, the dwarves couldn''t help but be stunned. Even though they had vaguely guessed what Bronzebeard wanted to do before, when such a scene actually appeared in front of them, it still gave the dwarves an extremely strong impact. They really didnt know whether to call this behavior heroic or reckless. However, while feeling ridiculous and unbelievable, the dwarves inevitably felt a trace of tragedy and respect in their hearts. ?Like looking at the fool challenging the windmill in some distant, made-up story. In the crowd, Kull stared blankly at the lonely dwarf. He couldn''t understand why the amnesiac Bronzebeard would do such a thing. But he couldn''t understand even more. The opportunity he had been waiting for had just arrived, and his biggest competitor was about to die. ?But why cant I feel happy at all? In fact, the reason why Xia En took action is actually very simple ?This disaster started because of him, so it should be ended by him! at the same time. The [Fierce Lizard King] above the cave also looked at Xia En, with human emotions flashing in his eyes. ?Creatures of this level have already possessed a certain degree of wisdom, and [Fire Lizard King] is no exception. ?Although it could not understand the words of the tiny dwarf below, the hostility of the other party was clearly evident from its provocative movements. ?However, [Fire Lizard King]s first reaction was not anger, but curiosity. Because in its impression, these reptile-like dwarfs should clearly be afraid of themselves to death. Sometimes just a look can scare the **** out of them. But now, there is actually a dwarf who dares to step out of their "turtle shell" and provoke himself? The mentality of [Fire Lizard King] is probably like that of a person walking on the road. When he sees an ant that usually avoids him, he suddenly stops in front of him and makes some weird actions. Compared with anger, I am definitely more surprised. After being surprised, a touch of greed gradually appeared in the huge pupils of [Lizard King]. It was awakened by the rumble of the ground and was already hungry. Furthermore, from the little bug below, [Fire Lizard King] felt a strong temptation inexplicably. Intuition tells it that if it eats this little bug, it may become much stronger! ?That is not just a physical strengthening, but more like the trajectory of your own destiny will change from now on, and you may even become the strongest fire in a thousand miles! Fire Lizard KingI dont know where this premonition comes from, but as a beast, it doesnt need to think so much. Phew! ?With a whistling sound that ripped apart the air, its huge claws descended from the sky and hit Xia En below. The size difference between a tiny dwarf and a giant lizard is probably even greater than that between a human and a windmill! Some timid dwarves couldn''t help but close their eyes, unwilling to see the tragic scene. But the next moment. What sounded in the cave was not the sound of copper beards being crushed into flesh, but a sound like gold and iron! ?Hope''s eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at the field. ??I saw Bronzebeard, who was dozens of times smaller than [Fire Lizard King], using that sledgehammer to block the sharp claws of [Fire Lizard King]. ??Although Bronzebeard''s body took a few steps back, it even plowed a deep ravine on the ground. But if you resist, you have resisted! This means that even if there is a gap in power between the two, the gap is not widened too much. ?Hope was shocked and couldn''t help but feel a little confused. When did Bronzebeards strength become so great? At this time, Xia En in the field had no extra thoughts to care about the eyes of others. The first time he fought against [Fire Lizard King], he judged the strength level of the opponent Level 5! Even Xia En did not expect that his first battle with an existence of the same level after being promoted to the fifth level would be in this unfamiliar [Furnace Secret Realm]. ??If it were in a normal state, Xia En could certainly easily crush this fifth-level [Fierce Lizard King]. After all, when he was only at the fourth level, he had already shown enough combat power to fight against the fifth level. ?But at this time, Xia En is inhabiting the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer", and the combat power he can exert is undoubtedly greatly reduced. So that, in this collision, Xia En noticed that many muscles in the body were damaged. The good news is. Xia Ens [Projection Body] can be like an adhesive, maintaining the stability of this body. ??Moreover, the closer his connection to this body becomes, the greater the power he can exert. ?However, this way of maintaining stability obviously has its limits. ??When the physical body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" was completely destroyed, Xia En could only use [Projection Body] to quickly defeat [Lizard King], and then left [The Furnace Secret Realm] in despair. Intuition told him that this was by no means the best choice. Giving up the identity of "BronzebeardWarhammer" is the second best thing. Xia En just had a hunch... Once your [Projection Body] is exposed more and more times, the world''s malice from [The Furnace Secret Realm] will become more and more turbulent and direct! So, what Xia En is trying to do now is to defeat the [Fierce Lizard King] in front of him with the body of "Bronzebeard"! After a brief collision. ?Xia En''s eyes were focused, he jumped up and flew towards the knees of [Fierce Lizard King]. The hammer in his hand cut through the air, making a frightening roar, and hit the relatively fragile joints of the big lizard hard. Since time traveling to the present, Xia En has accumulated a lot of experience in fighting large prey. He clearly understood that if he wanted to kill such a big guy, he had to attack the opponent''s vital points. Joints, throat, heart Due to the height difference, [Fire Lizard King]s knees are undoubtedly the best target. ?At the same time, this will also bring Shane closer to other vital points of this behemoth. On the other hand ?Shaan felt that the eye looking down at him was very annoying to him. So, he wants this big lizard to kneel down! Roar! ! The moment the hammer hit his knee, [Lizard King] suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. ?The entire underground space trembled because of this roar, as if it triggered another miniature earthquake. But before that, Xia En also heard the sound of broken bones. ?Even though the skeleton of [Lizard King] is extremely close to steel, the hammer in Xia En''s hand has been tempered in the furnace many times. ?In terms of hardness alone, it is definitely not inferior to the bones of [Fire Lizard King]. The most important thing is that Xia En injected his [Secret Power of the Void] into it. ??Yes, after being unable to use his always invincible physical fitness, Shane has another secret weapon that he has just mastered The secret power of transformation after being promoted to the fifth level! This secret power is extremely pure and extremely powerful. ??When it used Xia En''s hammer to embed itself into the body of the [Fat Lizard King], it immediately changed beyond Xia En''s expectations. In an instant. ?This secret power divided into countless small swimming fish, galloping unscrupulously in [Fire Lizard King]''s body. Every gallop is cutting into this huge body, eroding and assimilating the secret power of the [Fierce Lizard King]! An inappropriate metaphor. The [Secret Power of the Void] injected by Xia En is like a special virus. In order to fight against this virus, [Lizard King]''s body had to stir up the secret power in his body to suppress the spread of the virus. But at the same time, this will also lead to chaos in the secret power within its body. Such chaos itself will undoubtedly greatly weaken the combat power of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] actually has such an effect? Even Xia En was surprised by such a sudden change and murmured to himself. It seems that it is more mysterious than I thought. ? No matter what, this change is ultimately a good thing for the current war situation. The knees of [Fire Lizard King] kept shaking, and there was a vague tendency to lose balance. ?The emotion in those scarlet eyes finally changed from contempt to magma-like rage. ?It never thought that it would actually be injured by such an ant! ?Moreover, the constant numbness and stiffness in the knee also proves that this does not seem to be an ordinary injury. ?That kind of gloomy and dark power even makes [Fire Lizard King] feel faintly afraid deep in his heart. Thats A power that should not belong to this world! Roar! roared again, trying to suppress the fear in his heart with anger. However, at this moment, the tiny figure had crawled along its limbs in front of him! ??Xia En will naturally not miss the perfect opportunity created by the attack just now. ?His stature is short but fast, like a ghost, walking through the scales of [Fat Lizard King] that exudes high temperature. Just a few seconds. Xia En then crossed over the large hole dug by the [Fierce Lizard King] and came to the upper underground space, facing this behemoth head-on. His next target is the eyes of [Fire Lizard King]. However, just when Xia En jumped up again, the big lizard''s frightened and angry eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cunning that only humans can have. Immediately afterwards, a tumor on the top of its head quickly heated up and expanded, bursting out with bright and blazing fire. And this ray of fire came directly towards Xia En! ?The temperature of the flame is incredibly high, as if it can burn through everything. Obviously, this was an unexpected ambush. This [Fierce Lizard King] used his extremely high level of intelligence and acting skills to deceive Xia En''s eyes and make him jump into this trap. ?However, even if this beam of light hits, it will only force Xia En into the second stage. So, although there was surprise in Xia En''s eyes, there was no fear. But at this moment. The long and loud knocking sound sounded again. A powerful and heavy secret power quickly enveloped him. Without having to think about it, Shane realized that this was the Warhammer Tribes melting pot strategy. ??Those are the dwarves below, providing him with support. This discovery surprised him. ??Xia En originally thought that as a "stowaway", he should not be able to use the secret power blessing of the Warhammer tribe. But now, what happened to him changed his perception. ?Furthermore, Xia En soon realized that the key factor that allowed him to successfully accept this secret power was the [Secret Power of the Void] he possessed. His secret power was continuously and rapidly adjusted, transforming into a state very similar to that of other dwarves. Suddenly, as if some kind of code had been deciphered, it naturally merged with it! In fact. Such a situation happened once not long ago when Xia En broke through the [World Barrier]. ??But this still brought a lot of shock to Xia En. ?This phenomenon doesnt mean that his [Void Secret Power] can imitate almost all secret powers. Not just the [Seven Seas World], but also the secret power in all [Secret Realms]? Furthermore, since it can be imitated. ?So... can it be assimilated and swallowed? All-encompassing and ever-changing. Im afraid, this is the truly terrifying part of [Secret Power of the Void]. Xia En silently buried these conjectures in his heart, because...the battle is not over yet! The shadow formed by the furnace blocks the incoming flames. ??Taking this opportunity, Xia En let out a roar from deep in his chest, burst out with all his strength, activated the war hammer in his hand, and slammed into the eyeball of [King Lizard]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Chapter 282 Goodbye [Misty Sea]! Click! The moment the war hammer came into contact with the eyeball, a crisp and clear cracking sound suddenly came out. It was like a hammer hitting a flat mirror, shattering Shane''s reflection in the mirror. The broken lens flew out mixed with blood. Roar roared again and closed his eyes in pain. ?For a creature of its size, damage to its eyeballs is not really a fatal injury. But this time, it felt mortal danger again. The source is the dark secret power transmitted by the hammer! ?That kind of weird secret power is as small and annoying as the dwarf in front of you, but just as difficult and dangerous. After entering the body of [Fire Lizard King], this secret power was like turning into countless ferocious ants, constantly gnawing at its flesh, flesh, secret power, and penetrating deeper. You must know that the eyeball has a large number of nerves gathered in it. More importantly, it is too close to the brain! So close that this secret power can penetrate into its brain tissue in only ten seconds. It is really hard to imagine what would happen to me if that kind of thing happened. In normal times, [Fire Lizard King] would naturally have a lot of time to slowly wear away this secret power. But right now, there is that hateful, despicable dwarf in front of it! According to common sense, you should crush this little bug into a pulp the first time you take out your claws. But it failed to do so. ?The fire attack that he was proud of was also blocked by the dwarves'' hateful "tortoise shells". ??Moreover, the deep intuition told [Fierce Lizard King] that there was still a surging power in that seemingly weak and insignificant body. ?It is as vast as the sea, and it feels vaguely frightening. This also means that it will never be able to kill the opponent in a short period of time. So, [Lizard King] is afraid! Beasts have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In nature, when faced with a target that may harm itself, the first reaction of a wild animal is often to flee rather than fight. This is exactly the current situation. But he woke up from his deep sleep unexpectedly and wanted to eat a few dwarves as a tooth sacrifice. Who would have thought that they would hit such a hard rock and almost break its teeth? Now, since it cant eat any meat, it can escape, right? ?Thinking of this, [Lizard King] did not hesitate, and his strong body crashed directly into the rock wall next to him. With a "boom", the solid wall shattered. However, despite its huge size, it showed extraordinary agility and rolled directly into the hole. Upon seeing this, Xia En''s eyes brightened slightly, and he was not surprised but happy. He just wanted to get out of the sight of the dwarves. At this time, [The Lizard King]''s behavior was undoubtedly like a pillow given to him when he fell asleep. So, without thinking, Xia En followed [Lizard King] and broke into the underground tunnel with complex terrain. The many dwarves below could only watch this scene in silence. Did I read that correctly? [The Lizard King] actually escaped? It was defeated by Bronzebeard? Oh my God, Bronzebeard is still catching up with me! Am I dreaming? ??If someone had told them before today that any of their tribesmen could chase a [Fierce Lizard King], they would have thought it was nonsense. But now, such a situation is actually happening in front of the dwarves. How does this not shock them? ?Kul''s eyes widened in astonishment, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly. Beside him, the fire in Mary''s eyes gradually extinguished. In the face of absolute strength, their previous calculations seemed so ridiculous. ?? But Kuhl really couldnt understand why Bronzebeard suddenly became so strong? In the middle of the dwarf, Hope''s eyes flashed with a strange light. ? No matter what, having a powerful warrior like Bronzebeard in the Warhammer tribe is a great thing. It won''t be a big deal even if he has lost his memory. ??The amnesiac Bronzebeard can also lead the Warhammer tribe to become stronger! ?However, Hope and the other dwarves also have some small worries in their hearts. ?? Can Bronzebeard really come back safely after rushing out so recklessly? The answer to this question, no one knows. ! Boom! Boom! The dwarves could only hear the roar coming from the rock wall one after another, and causing violent vibrations one after another. That was the sound of Xia Ens hammer colliding with the body of [Fire Lizard King]. ?The intensity of this shaking was no weaker than the previous ground rumbling. ?Cracks continue to appear on the rock walls in the distance, making these already unstable structures once again on the verge of collapse. ?Even, not only the area where the Warhammer tribe is located, but also the territories of other dwarves and [Fire] have been affected by this. ? Many [Fire Types] were trembling and hiding in the gaps in the rock formations, hoping that they would not be affected by this battle. Even if you can''t see the scene of one person and one lizard fighting, people can still imagine how dangerous and terrifying that scene is. In the Warhammer tribe, a dwarf murmured in shock: "I still can''t believe that this was actually caused by a dwarf and [King Lizard]." ?However, these shocking sounds are fading away. At the same time, this also means that the Bronze Beard is moving away from them. I dont know how long it has been. ?This fierce battle, which was no worse than the roar of the earth, finally stopped. The brief silence returned to the underground cave, with only the lava mines in the rock walls emitting a quiet light. Ahem! ?Xia En coughed violently and coughed up a few mouthfuls of black blood, looking extremely fragile. However, in front of him, the huge [Fire Lizard King] had fallen into the broken rocks. Both of its eyes have been smashed, otherwise, there should be unbelievable fear remaining in the eyeballs. ?This big guy''s body surface is covered with wounds, and even those smooth and flat scales have become pitted. But the real fatal injury was in the brain of [Fire Lizard King]. [Secret Power of the Void] pierced directly there and dealt a fatal blow to it. Have to admit it. ??It is quite difficult for Xia En to kill this big guy without entering the [Projection Body] state. By this time, "Bronze Beard"''s body had become tattered, with countless bones broken and almost no muscle intact. ??If it weren''t for the bonding effect of [Projection Body], this body would probably fall apart immediately. In this case, Xia Ens lips curved into a smile. Although it cost a lot. But in the end, he won! Xia En raised his head and looked at the rock formations above, as if looking at the will of the [Secret Sea]. The silent smile showed his meaning. This time, he won. And next time, he will win! Unfortunately, at this moment, the [Ship Soul Power] on the panel has almost dropped to 0. This shows that Xia En is about to end his dive in the [Secret Sea]. Before officially leaving, Shane still has some necessary finishing work to do. For example, find a very hidden cave and hide in it. Another example is leaving a [Submarine Anchor Point] here. However, when Xia En left the [Submarine Anchor Point], he discovered that this [Anchor Point] seemed not to be somewhere in the underground space, but in... the body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer"! ?This discovery surprised Xia En. After thinking for a while, he probably guessed the reason why this happened. [Submarine Anchor Point] is a coordinate that Xia En left in the [Furnace Secret Realm], which is also equivalent to a part of his "extraterrestrial demon". ??If this coordinate remains, it will definitely continue to pose a danger to the [Furnace Secret Realm]. So, the will of the [Secret Realm] will definitely clean it up and exclude it. For this reason, [Submarine Anchor Point] needs to be camouflaged. The aboriginal body of "Bronzebeard Warhammer" is undoubtedly the best choice. ?Aware of this, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. He was originally worried about how to keep his status as "Bronze Beard". But now it seems that this is not a problem at all. As for how to protect this dead body from decay? When Xia En controlled this body previously, he noticed that when the "Secret Power of the Void" flows in the body of "Bronze Beard", this body maintains a strange and weak activity. ??Although the maintenance time of this activity is limited, there is obviously no problem in holding on until Shane''s next [submersible]. After doing all this, Xia En closed his eyes quietly... Submarine is over! You have explored the "Secret Realm of the Furnace" and completed a secret sea walk! Career compatibility +5%! Please choose your trophy! 1.The soil of the furnace secret realm 2.Solid war hammer 3.The body of the Lizard King In the captain''s room, Xia En opened his eyes, feeling a mysterious and mysterious feeling in his heart. ?To put it bluntly, he has a somewhat deeper understanding of the secret profession of [Secret Sea Walker]. ?This kind of understanding does not come from talking on paper, but from a practical personal practice. So it seems particularly clear and real. Anyone who practices the secret path that is the core of his or her profession will be able to go further on the secret path. ??The reason why Xia En was able to advance by leaps and bounds and continuously break through the ranks in such a short period of time is probably related to the fact that he has always been on the right path. After a moment, Xia En took a long breath and remembered all the insights in his heart. So, is this what it feels like to explore another world? Not bad! After a brief sigh of emotion, Xia En walked to the deck and decisively chose option 3. The next moment. The huge corpse of [Fire Lizard King] appeared on the empty deck. Thanks to the fact that the [Black Swan] has been strengthened several times and its size has been greatly expanded, otherwise the deck would not be able to accommodate this [Lizard King]. There was a muffled sound of "dong", and the water level of [Black Swan] sank downwards. ?The crew quickly realized this change and walked out of the cabin. Looking at the [Fat Lizard King] appearing on the deck, the crew members couldn''t help but look surprised. ??Joy was surprised: "Where did this big lizard come from?" Fei Ya also looked up and down curiously and murmured: "In my impression, there has never been such a creature in the Seven Seas." Xia En smiled slightly and said: "This is my trophy in a [secret realm]." Here, help me, help me break it up. With the help of everyone, this [Fierce Lizard King] was quickly dismantled. Ann is a good hand at doing this kind of thing, she is careful and patient. Not long after, bones, flesh and blood, lava minerals... were all placed in categories. The crew were once again surprised when they saw the unusual physiological structure in its body. After all, this is a creature that should not exist on the Seven Seas at all. ??Moreover, it doesnt look like a product of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Its like... coming from another world! ?Although Xia En had already given them enough surprises, the appearance of the [Fierce Lizard King] still made the captain''s image even more mysterious. Xia En didnt explain much, he just looked at the huge crystal heart of [Lizard King]. Lava Ore (Silver Grade) Quality: Rare Type: Material Description: The specialty ore of "The Furnace Secret Realm", the heart of "Fire Seed", contains the unique secret power of fire. When used for forging, it will have a wonderful effect and give the forged items a random status. The old furnace is on fire again. Hmm? Silver level? ?Xia En raised his eyebrows. He remembered that there were different ratings for [Fire Type] in the Warhammer tribe. The ordinary [Fire Lizard] is at the bronze level, while the [Fire Lizard King] is at the silver level. It seems that the lava deposits in their bodies also follow this classification standard. But, just the silver level is the fifth level..." ?Xia En was secretly speechless, once again realizing the danger of the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm]. After reading the description, he immediately thought of Xian Ge who knew [Fire Forging Technique], so he shouted. Xian Ge, come out! Xiange, who had grown a lot bigger, flew out and responded energetically: "Yes, Captain!" ?With Xia Ens unremitting efforts, Xian Ges training is on the right track, greatly improving its obedience. ?But at this moment, as soon as Xian Ge appeared, his eyes were attracted by the group of red crystals. Captain, what is this? ?Xia Ens reaction to Xian Ge was a little surprising. Because he actually saw a strong desire in the eyes of this little dragon. You must know that although Xian Ge has a female imp personality, she is indeed a bronze dragon among ancient dragons, and she is actually proud of herself. ?Its vision is extremely high, and it rarely desires anything. But now, Xiange looked at the lava mine eagerly and said, "Can I have a taste?" I feel that if I can eat this crystal, I might be able to grow faster! ?Xia En frowned slightly and had a guess. Could it be that...[The Furnace Secret Realm] is also related to the ancient dragon in [Seven Seas World]? Thinking is thinking, Xian Ge said so, Xia En naturally handed over the lava mine. ?With a "ouch", Xinge chewed up a large piece of the huge crystal. But it was not satisfied and continued to feast. ?Just when Xian Ge was enjoying the lava mine feast. The breath coming from the sea breeze suddenly changed slightly. ?Xia En couldn''t help but squint his eyes and look into the distance. I saw a white fog appearing in front of the [Black Swan]. Suddenly, it is the [Misty Sea Area] that we have been away from for a long time! (End of this chapter) Chapter 283 The encounter between two [Diamond Star] ships Chapter 283 The encounter between two [Diamond Star] ships That is? Looking at the rolling fog on the sea not far away, Xia En raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise. ?That kind of white mist is different from ordinary mist. It is like a living creature, rising, shrinking and squirming on the sea surface, which looks quite weird. Obviously, this is the unique fog in the [Misty Sea Area] in his impression. I didnt expect to see it here again. ?These days, the [Black Swan] has been traveling towards [Liu Li Island], and its location is naturally very different from when it first encountered the [Misty Sea]. ?However, Xia En was not too surprised that [Misty Sea] appeared here. ?He has long known that the [Misty Sea Area] is not a fixed area on the sea surface, but will move with the movement of the fog. Its location changes all the time, making it difficult for ordinary ships to track it. Thats why the mystery of this sea area is highlighted even more. In fact, when Xia En entered the [Misty Sea], he only explored a very small area within it, and was far from being in contact with the deeper existences. Mr. Captain, what should we do now? At this time, Joey asked Shane: "Do you want to avoid the fog ahead?" ?According to Xia En''s original plan, their current goal is [Liu Li Island]. It seems that there is no need to enter the [Misty Sea] again and add changes to the itinerary. only ?Shaan looked back at the [Diamond Star] behind him. ?He had a vague hunch that it might not be a simple coincidence that he encountered the [Misty Sea] here. According to the "Law of Secret Power Aggregation", similar secret powers will produce unique attractions. There is naturally some connection between the two extremely similar [Diamond Star] ships. There is a high probability that it is for this reason that Xia En would "accidentally encounter" the [Misty Sea] here. It just so happened that Xia En had also wanted to solve the problem about the [Diamond Star] for a long time. Since we are here, lets just take this opportunity to see the cold ship [Diamond Star] again, maybe we can gain something new. The mist ahead is billowing and squirming, as if it is an invitation to people on the sea. And Xia En chose... to accept it happily! Soon, the [Black Swan] broke through the waves and sailed towards the white mist. at the same time. ?Xian Ge on the deck is still concentrating on enjoying this lava mine meal. Ke bangke bang ?The extremely strong red crystal was chewed and swallowed easily like candy in Xian Ge''s mouth. ?Seeing how delicious it was, Xia En couldn''t help but curiously asked: "Is it delicious?" Xiange licked his lips and said honestly: "Uh... I didn''t taste it." ?Shaan was angry and funny. He pointed to the lava mine on the deck and said, "Eat slowly, don''t be in a hurry. The rest will be given to you." Really? Hearing this, Xiange opened her eyes wide and looked at Xia En in surprise. Mr. Captain, how kind of you! With that said, Xiange actually used mimicry magic to transform into the appearance of a little girl, then threw herself into Xia En''s arms and kissed him **** the face. "ah?" ?Xia Ens mouth twitched. He didnt expect Xian Ge to express his gratitude in this way. ?Besides, Joey also let out a small exclamation and glared at Xian Ge angrily. ?However, Xian Ge obviously didn''t care about such small details at this time, and continued to eat at the lava mine in front of him. Her idea is very simple. Mr. Captain is a male, and the person she transformed into is a very cute little girl. According to human behavior and habits, this is obviously a reward! Xian Ge quickly put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and swallowed the lava mine in front of him whole. ?Her eyes were shining, and she ate faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, she had swallowed all the lava mine that was half the size of her body. ?However, in the mimic state, her belly was only slightly bulging, and it was completely impossible to tell where the lava mines had gone. Eat so much After eating all the lava ore, Xiange couldn''t help but burped, and then rubbed his eyes sleepily. Mr. Captain, I dont know why, but I suddenly feel sleepy. Want to sleep Xia En could vaguely see that Xian Ge''s body seemed to be rapidly absorbing the secret power from the lava mine he had just eaten, and was promoting some kind of strange transformation in Xian Ge. ?This is why Xian Ge wants to fall asleep. ?Like ancient dragons and some naturally powerful creatures, they often use dormancy to survive the process of transformation. Each time they wake up, they will become more powerful than before. ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but become more curious. Are the lava mines and even the [Secret Furnace] really closely related to the ancient dragon clan? ??Thinking of the bronze dragon''s special [fire-forging technique] and the dwarf clan''s secret forging technique, Xia En had more speculations in his heart. But now is obviously not the time to pursue these issues in depth. ?Xia En touched Xian Ges little head and said softly: Go to sleep if you want. I will protect you. Hearing this, Xian Ges beautiful big eyes finally couldnt hold on any longer and slowly closed them. ?Whether it was intentional or not, she did not remove the mimicry magic from her body before falling into a deep sleep. ?Her body was curled up into a ball, like a sleeping kitten, and she looked much more well-behaved than usual. ?It is precisely because Xia En is by his side and on the Black Swan that Xian Ge can sleep so peacefully. ??This little guy''s body will occasionally make a series of brittle joints, and her breath will also undergo wonderful changes. This is because her body is growing, and this speed has far exceeded that of human beings. Even Xia En is a little envious of this ability to become stronger while sleeping. Joy, Ann, move her into the captains cabin. After casually giving orders to the two of them, Xia En turned his head and looked around. Just when Xian Ge fell into a deep sleep. [Black Swan] has truly entered the fog, which also means that they have officially entered the [Misty Sea]! The familiar yet unfamiliar sticky feeling clings to the surface of the skin. ??If there is one thing about [Misty Sea] that is most difficult for Xia En to adapt to, it is undoubtedly the humid and hazy weather here. Suddenly, Xia En''s heart moved slightly, and he felt a strange feeling. He turned back and looked at the [Diamond Star] behind the [Black Swan]. I saw that this ship, which was most likely coming from the [Secret Sea], started to tremble slightly. But the trembling was not from fear, but from...excitement! Even though the ship was still an empty shell without a soul of its own, Shane still sensed a strong impulse from it. ?The deck, the side of the ship, the steering wheel, the sails... every part, and even every part that makes up them, seems to be emitting an invisible roar. ?The neighing was filled with unwillingness and anger, but most of all, it was desire! It is longing to meet its other self in the mist! ??Had it not been for Xia En being bound to it and becoming the owner of the [Diamond Star]. ??I''m afraid that the ship itself will be like a wild horse, rushing away in a certain direction in the fog. "It seems that you have been waiting for this day for a long time." Shaan let go of the restraints on the [Diamond Star] a little, and thought to himself. Then, take me where you want to go. Immediately, this three-masted sailing ship from the old era opened its huge sails, drew consistent power from the turbulent wind that diffused the mist, and sailed forward indomitably. Waves and fog could not stop it, but the strong wind helped it. ?Until this moment, the [Diamond Star] seemed to show some of the elegance of the "Noah''s Ark" that was known in the past. The Black Swan followed silently, like a silent guardian knight. Early morning two days later. When the meager sunlight passes through the fog, forming a hazy scene like the "Tyndale effect" on the sea. The speed of the [Diamond Star] finally slowed down. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Shane knew very well the reason why the [Diamond Star] was slowing down. Not far away, in the hazy mist, another huge outline was slowly emerging. ?Its masts are tall, its sides are steep, and its dark wooden hull is burning with ghost-like blue fire. In the deep fog, it looks even more mysterious and strange. ??It is the other [Diamond Star] that Shane has seen before! To be honest, the two [Diamond Star] ships have extremely similar appearances. But this ship hidden in the [Misty Sea] seems to have been affected by the long years and is obviously more mysterious. ?That invisible blue will-o''-the-wisp came from nowhere, and even the material that made up the ship''s hull seemed to have been infected by invisible mysterious power and thus changed. The strange legends about it and the name "ghost ship" have added a lot of legendary color to it. In comparison, the [Diamond Star] bound by Xia En seems a bit ordinary. ?Other than the twisted internal structure and the [secret sea] deep in the cabin, it seems far less weird than the other party. Obviously, at this moment, the Diamond Star on the opposite side also discovered the arrival of "another self in the world". Hence, its speed became neither slow nor slow, and it approached cautiously and carefully. ?Two similar but different [Diamond Star] ships, like two beasts that met by chance, faced off on this foggy sea. The atmosphere gradually became dangerous and depressing. No one knows what will happen next moment. At this time. An inappropriate whistle sounded suddenly on the tense sea. ??Xia En couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the [Black Swan] beside him, with a strange expression. This whistle sound comes from its chimney! ?This was naturally not Xia Ens order, but Xiao Heis own idea. As a young boat soul, Xiao Hei certainly didnt have any bad intentions in doing this. It just wanted to say hello to the ship spirit sister of the [Diamond Star] after a long separation. ?The [Diamond Star], which was burning with faint blue fire, clearly noticed the existence of the [Black Swan]. ?It was slightly startled as it moved forward, as if it didn''t understand the relationship between the Black Swan and its "other self". ??But the sound of the whistle still broke the stalemate between the two [Diamond Star] ships. The next moment. The [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] seems to have made up its mind. Then it started to speed up, and speed up again! As the crystallization of human wisdom in the last era, the [Diamond Star] is naturally equipped with power systems other than sails. When it started to charge, the momentum could only be described as devastating. The waves began to roar and the wind began to blow. ?The old sail was condensed with roaring illusions and layers of flames. The huge shadow was crushing towards Xia En and the others. Mr. Captain! ?Seeing this scene, Joey couldn''t help but his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed. Even though she had seen many big scenes, she couldn''t remain calm when facing this overwhelming behemoth. Xia Ens brows couldnt help but frown. But at the same time, he heard the voice from the [Diamond Star]. ?So, Shane whispered to himself: "If this is what you desire, then do it!" "And I, as your captain, will naturally go with you." With that said, Xia En jumped onto the deck of the [Diamond Star] bound to him, and stood in front of the steering wheel. ??Joy opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Captain, what do you want to do?" Xia En waved his hand: "Don''t worry, I''ll be fine." Shortly afterwards, the [Diamond Star] also began to accelerate. ??Joy suddenly realized something, bit his lip and said: "I want to be with you too!" Immediately, she cast a space spell and teleported directly to Xia En. "Um?" ?Xia En looked at Joey next to him and couldn''t help but feel helpless. Nonsense. But now, Joey has caught up, and he cant send her back again. What''s more, there is no such time. Shaan simply hugged Joey into his arms with one hand and said, "Hold me tight." His other hand firmly grasped the steering wheel in front of him. The next moment. ?The [Diamond Star] also started to increase its speed at an exaggerated rate, rushing towards the ghost ship ahead without flinching. The crew members on the Black Swan stared blankly at the sea in front of them. At this time, what happened on this misty sea area will probably be something they will never forget for the rest of their lives. Two huge ships with extremely similar appearances, both exploded at their fastest speeds, carrying the surging waves, and collided with the other one in an unstoppable manner. Its like standing on both ends of a mirror. Such a collision seems destined to be earth-shattering. And, both sides suffer. The crew members hearts could not help but feel high, and there was some worry in their eyes. Its about to hit!! ?At the same time as the words fell, the majestic hulls of the two [Diamond Star] finally came into contact. However, the expected earth-shaking impact did not occur. The moment the two ships touched, the blue flame seemed to envelope both ships at the same time. The two [Diamond Star] ships overlapped in a tough and incredible manner. at the same time. ?Countless chaotic and broken lights and shadows flashed chaotically in front of Xia En''s eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the world became very different. (End of this chapter) Chapter 284 The false sea, the "Diamond Star" in his Chapter 284: The Sea of ??Falsehood, the [Diamond Star] in History A moment. ?Countless messy lights and shadows passed by Xia En''s eyes. ?There are majestic and pale icebergs standing on the sea, there are people standing on the edge of the deck with frightened faces, there are also huge waves that are constantly rising, and the sea water pouring in... Its not just a picture. Xia En also vaguely heard angry roars, violent collisions, and the exclamations and shouts of countless men and women mixed together. At the end of these sights and sounds, there was a ball of extremely dazzling white light. ?It all happened so fast. ? So that before Xia En had time to think about the meaning of these images and sounds, they had been stripped from Xia En''s perception. ?Gradually, the white light in front of Xia En''s eyes faded like a tide. What appeared in front of him was a strange cabin. Under the dim light, you can see the exquisite tapestries hanging on the walls, the shelves with many decorations, and a large and gorgeous bed. This appears to be a cabin used for accommodation. The layout of some rooms in Black Swan is very similar. Its just that the furnishing style of this cabin is relatively old and has a retro feel from the previous era. ?There are also some jewelry such as gemstones and gold, which are worth a lot at first glance and reveal a luxurious temperament. Like the room of a noble or merchant. "here it is" Xia En raised his eyebrows and felt strange. ?A second ago, he was clearly still on the bow of the [Diamond Star], and he suddenly hit the body of the ghost ship. Why did you arrive at this completely unfamiliar place in the next second? Xia En lowered his head and looked even more surprised. His clothes have also changed from the usual captain''s clothes to a set of exquisitely made and gorgeous clothes, also in the expensive aristocratic style. Shaan looked at the mirror on the wall again. ??I saw a handsome and upright aristocratic young man standing in the mirror. ?His appearance has not changed, but against the backdrop of this gorgeous costume, he looks even more elegant, with almost no flaws. ?With Xia En''s current strength, almost no one can change him into such clothes when he is not paying attention. ?Shaan quickly thought of another more reasonable explanation During the collision between the two [Diamond Star] ships, he seemed to have entered another space different from reality. At the same time, it replaces the identity of someone here. This situation is somewhat similar to the state of playing John Smith when he was promoted to the fourth level. But there are obvious differences between the two. Where is this space? What role is he playing now? ?Shaan did not think deeply about these issues for the time being, but quickly scanned the room to search for them. He has not forgotten that Joey was also on the Diamond Star earlier! ?This means that there is a high probability that she has also broken into this mysterious and strange space. Not long. ??Xia En''s eyes fell on the big bed in the center of the room. It was only now that he noticed that there was an inconspicuous bulge in the soft and smooth quilt. ?Shaan called out tentatively: "Joy?" Mr. Captain? A muffled, slightly nervous voice came from under the quilt, but Xia En was so familiar that it made him smile: "It''s me." Suddenly, the quilt on the bed was lifted off. ?However, what Shane didn''t expect was that Joey was only wearing a very thin piece of underwear. ?Just by lifting the quilt, a large amount of spring light leaks out, which is really beautiful. At this time, Xia En had to admit... ??Joy, you have definitely grown up. The tomboy-like girl from before is gone forever. ??If Joey were to dress up as a man now, Shane would be able to recognize him at a glance. Woo! ??After Joey made this action, he seemed to realize his current state, and he couldn''t help but let out a shy, small animal-like cry. ?She quickly wrapped the quilt around herself, leaving only a small white-haired head exposed, like a large caterpillar. Ship, Mr. Captain, whats going on? In order to relieve his shyness and embarrassment, Joey changed the subject: "Where are we?" She is also curious about her environment. Wheres the [Diamond Star]? What about that ghost ship in the fog? Xia En calmed down and thought: "If I guessed correctly, we should be on the [Diamond Star] now..." "What?" ??Joy''s eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, that ghost ship?" But how come there is such a new room on that ship? The [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] has been sailing alone on the sea for thousands of years. According to common sense, most of the things on it should be decayed, but whether it is the floor, walls, or various furnishings in the room, they are all too new. ??Xia En could even smell the smell from the wooden boards as if it had just been built not long ago. This is extremely unusual. ?However, the [Diamond Star] itself, as a ghost ship, is actually the biggest anomaly! Shane speculated: "I suspect that the [Diamond Star] we are on may be in a special state." Maybe not even in the real world. As for why you and I are here in this state. Probably because we act as a couple in this abnormal space. At this moment, Xia En also noticed that there were not only male living utensils in this bedroom, but also a large number of traces belonging to women. For example, long skirts and stockings scattered on the floor. Another example is the cosmetics on the cabinet. ?These traces show that the two people who originally lived in this room were not just husband and wife, but at least they were lovers. "couple" Hearing Xia Ens guess, Joeys focus was obviously a little off. ?Her little face was red and she wrapped the quilt around her tighter. She didn''t know what she was thinking in her little head. ?Shane continued: "This is just my guess." If you want to verify it, you have to go out and have a look. ??Joy nodded his little head: "Yeah, but I have to change clothes first..." Thats right. ?Shaan opened the closet next to him, picked out a set of clothes, and placed them next to the bed. Subsequently, he thoughtfully pushed open a small door inside the roomthis was the bathroom connected to the bedroom. ?On a ship, having a bedroom with a separate bathroom is actually quite a luxury. It can also explain the extraordinary identity of the original owner of this room. After waiting in the bathroom for a while, Joey''s shy voice came from outside the door. Mr. Captain, Im fine. ?Xia En opened the door and took a look, and couldn''t help being slightly startled. Most of the clothes that can be placed in the wardrobe in this room are gorgeous and complicated aristocratic costumes. ??The purple-black dress that Joey is wearing now is no exception. This long dress has a strong palace style and is extremely gorgeous. ?This is very different from the girl''s usual simple and pure dressing style, which gives her a sense of girlish innocence and a somewhat mature charm. ?The long silver-white hair poured down like mercury, and the red pupils added a mysterious atmosphere and texture. ?Shaan also didnt expect that Joey, who suddenly changed his style, would be so stunning. Even he couldn''t help but lose consciousness for a moment. Mr. Captain? ??Joy asked a little shyly: "Does it look good?" Well, its nice. Shaan said calmly: "It suits you very well." It seems like I should buy you a few more clothes of different styles. Hearing such a straightforward compliment, Joey''s pretty face blushed even harder, and she was secretly delighted. Just when the room fell into a brief silence. ! ?Two polite knocks came from outside the door. Xia En''s expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked out the door warily. He did not forget the strange situation he was in. In this strange space, who knows whether the existence encountered is a living person or some kind of mimic monster? Xia En tentatively replied: "Who?" Mr. Shane, breakfast is ready. The voice outside the door was very respectful: "Should it be brought in for you, or should you go to the restaurant to enjoy it yourself?" ?Mr Shane? He knows my name? Could it be that this space also extracted part of my memory? Xia En has heard that there is some kind of extremely realistic illusion in the Seven Seas. This illusion is combined with the memory of the person who is being cast, so it will appear flawless and it is extremely difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The current situation is somewhat similar to this. Xia En''s thoughts were up and down, and he replied: "I''ll just go to the restaurant by myself." Yes, then I wont disturb you and my wife. After saying that, the sounds outside the door gradually faded away. Mr. Captain? ??Joy also realized the seriousness of the situation, restrained his thoughts, and asked seriously. What to do now? ?Shaan thought clearly: "No matter what, we can''t hide here for the rest of our lives. We have to take a look at the world outside this door." However, dont use the title Mr. Captain when you go out. Just call me Sean, or Mr. Sean. Besides, we are playing the role of husband and wife, so its best not to reveal any flaws. ??Joy nodded heavily: "Yes! Ship...Mr. Shane!" After getting ready, Xia En pushed open the wooden door in front of him. ?At the same time as the wooden door was pushed open, the bright sunlight shone down and caught the eyes of Xia En and the two of them. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly. After two days in the [Misty Sea], seeing such sunlight felt a bit dazzling. Wait a minute...This also means that they are not in the [Misty Sea] now? Xia En looked up. ?The sky was blue and clear, not to mention the oppressive and accumulated white fog, not even a few clouds could be seen. ?Like a huge sapphire. Below the blue sky, there is the vast sea. The morning sun reflects undulations on the sea surface like fine gold foil. To be honest, this scene is so beautiful that one cant help but appreciate it. But for some reason, Xia En felt that something was wrong. ?This sea and this sky both reveal a feeling of emptiness. ?Honestly speaking, they give Xia En the feeling of being like a huge background board. It seems realistic and beautiful, but it can never be touched because... Their essence is false fakes! Mr. Shane ??Joy held Xia En''s arm and whispered: "This sea has no soul..." ?Joy possesses part of the power of the Storm Goddess and is naturally able to sense and control the power of the sea. Her words undoubtedly confirmed Xia En''s guess. In this space, I am afraid that only this [Diamond Star] is real. ?This discovery immediately gave up the idea of ????Xia En taking Joey into the sea to escape. No one knows what lies at the edge of this false sea. ??If you get lost in the sea, you may completely lose the chance to escape from this space. ??After observing the environment outside the ship''s hull, Xia En moved his gaze to the corridor beside him and the deck below. The cabin where he and Joey were located was located on the upper level of the entire ship. ?Standing at this angle, you can naturally see several sparse figures on the deck. They seemed to be the waiters and sailors on the ship. They were cleaning the deck and starting to make some preparations. In the corridor, there were several men and women also wearing aristocratic costumes, walking towards the restaurant in a hurry. ?Among them, a young man wearing a top hat noticed Xia En and the two of them, smiled and nodded in greeting. Good day, Mr. Shane and Ms. Joy. ?Joy''s body was a little stiff, and he faintly wanted to take action. From her point of view, this big ship is full of weirdness. ??The people on these ships don''t know whether they are dead or alive, and they might turn into monsters and pounce on them the next moment. ??Xia En squeezed her hand gently, indicating for her to relax, and responded with a calm expression. Good day. In his perception, these passers-by are alive and there is no danger. A rash attack may cause some kind of change. "Mr. Xia En, you and your wife have a really good relationship. Are you here for your honeymoon?" ??The young man in the top hat smiled and said, "I won''t bother you anymore." I wish you a pleasant journey. Journey? Honeymoon? ?Xia En was filled with doubts. Diamond Star, wasn''t it built as a "Noah''s Ark" to avoid the great flood? Why do you think other passengers behave like they are here to enjoy the trip? Xia En thought for a while, found a waiter next to him, and asked. Where is the final destination of this ship? ??The waiter looked at Xia En with a very strange look, but still said honestly: "Of course it is the Qingfeng Port of the Great Yan Kingdom." Diamond Star performed very well during this trial voyage and visited several kingdoms without any problems. Of course we have to return to Qingfeng Port quickly for final assembly and debugging. Trial voyage Hearing this term, Xia En suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things. Obviously, after the [Diamond Star] is manufactured, it will definitely have to go through several tests before it can be regarded as a real "Noah''s Ark." ?Before that, it was like an ordinary ship, carrying the function of transporting goods and tourists. ? And the words of this waiter also represent that the time in this space is the era before the great flood has come! Could it be that Xia En has returned to the past again? (End of this chapter) Chapter 285 The fog is coming Chapter 285 The fog is coming Am I back in time again? After listening to the waiter''s words, Xia En also had such a question in his mind. But soon, he made a judgment. No, thats not the case. ?Although the [Diamond Star] in this space is extremely new, the people on the ship look just like living humans. But this false sea and sky itself is the biggest loophole! ?In Xia En''s guess, this space, just like the original copy of the promotion ritual, is a limited "box garden world." In game terms. ?This ship [Diamond Star] is the entire scene in this space. The places farther away are all ungenerated areas that cannot be explored, and you may even encounter an air walla barrier in this space. As for the tourists and waiters on the ship, they are similar to the characters in the promotion copy and are NPCs in this scene. ?So, Xia En did not go back to the past, but just entered a historical flashback and strayed into a strange space. ?Thus giving a glimpse into a hidden corner of the past. However, although this space has many similarities with the fourth-level promotion ritual, there are also obvious differences. ?For example, Shane and Joey directly entered this space with their bodies. ??If they are fatally injured here, they might really die! It is not just a promotion failure like the promotion ritual. on the other hand. The promotion ritual at least told Xia En what his mission was, and he had a clear goal and direction. But right now, Xia En doesn''t know what he should do now. I dont know what to do to leave this space. ?After thinking for a moment, Xia En asked the waiter a few more questions and got a preliminary understanding of the information about the [Diamond Star]. According to the waiter. [Diamond Star] This trial voyage started from the Qingfeng Port in the Great Yan Kingdom, and traveled across several sea areas and passed through more than a dozen kingdoms on the southern continent. After arriving at the southernmost green port on the mainland, it returned on the same route. . At present, the [Diamond Star] has already embarked on its return journey and has entered the scope of the [Cold Sea]. The distance from the destination, Dayan Kingdom, is not too far. Lengliehaiwhat..." Xia En turned his head and looked at the calm sea. The [Cold Sea] in the old era does not seem to be as cold as after the great flood. The sea breeze blowing from the sea is only slightly cool, like a cool autumn wind, which is completely within the acceptable range. ?Judging from the appearance alone, it is difficult to imagine that this would be the cold and murderous sea area of ????later generations. Could it be that before the great flood came, the temperature of the [Cold Sea] was not as low as in later generations? ??Xia En had a guess in his mind. After all, the Great Yan Kingdom was established in the far north. If the far north is really covered with glaciers and extremely cold like in later generations. The survival of ordinary civilians has become a problem. How can a huge kingdom be established? Thinking further, could the drop in temperature in the northern seas be related to the coming of a major flood? ? ? Putting away his complicated thoughts, Shane took Joey and the waiter to leave, and walked to the restaurant on the ship. The current situation is unclear. Instead of wandering around like a headless fly or going on a direct violent rampage, it is better to let nature take its course and play your own identity. Just like in some games, you have to follow the mission process before you can trigger important plots. Not long. Under the guidance of the waiter, Xia En and the two came to the restaurant in the cabin. After walking through the door, the sight in front of them surprised the two of them. ?The hall in front of you is extremely magnificent. The color is mainly dark and dark gold, with some deep red in between. It is a luxurious style favored by nobles. ?The walls are painted with large swaths of murals, with exquisite brushwork and delicate painting style. At first glance, they are the work of everyone. A gorgeous and exquisite chandelier hangs in the center of the restaurant, and a variety of accessories are displayed throughout the hall. ?The luxury of this restaurant alone is comparable to the royal palace in [Coral City] that Xia En had seen before. After all, Xia En has seen a lot of the world in several expeditions, so he is not too surprised. ??But Joey lives on the sea and has rarely seen such luxurious halls, so he couldn''t help but let out a small exclamation. ?This low cry immediately attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant. Some peoples eyes unconsciously reveal a look of disdain. But when they saw Xia En, they suppressed their disdain. ??Mutter chatter resounded from the crowd. "I heard that His Highness Xia En''s wife is the daughter of a commoner. Now it seems that it is indeed the case..." Hush, be silent. At this point, looking at the people in the restaurant, Xia En finally realized the source of his previous strange feeling. On this ship, except for the waiters and the sailors responsible for the operation of the ship, there are all people with gorgeous clothes and high status. ?Looks like he is either a noble or a businessman. There were no ordinary civilians among them, not even one! ?This discovery made Xia En frown slightly. From a rational analysis, the [Diamond Star] is still in the trial voyage stage. Only wealthy nobles and businessmen can board the ship. It is barely understandable to participate in this trial. But the problem is... [Diamond Star] was originally positioned as the "Noah''s Ark" that left the spark of civilization to mankind. However, there were no civilians on such a ship. Instead, there are luxurious restaurants, gorgeous murals, and men and women in the upper class of society. Could it be that only nobles and businessmen are human beings? ?Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little depressed for no reason. The world is equal. But there are always some people who are more equal than others. ?But at this time, Xia En also discovered that the character he was playing seemed to be a prince of a certain kingdom. Even among the many nobles in the restaurant, he is considered to have a higher status. The respectful eyes and humble demeanor of some nobles are proof of this. After hearing the whispers of some people in the restaurant, Joey''s body was obviously a little stiff, and he wanted to lower his head to avoid the eyes filled with various emotions. In fact, Joey has always had a bit of inferiority deep down in his heart. This is related to her childhood experience. Even with Xia En''s help, most of this inferiority complex has been eliminated, and she has gradually become cheerful and sunny. ?But at this moment, the gazes of these nobles were like arrows, piercing the most vulnerable part of Joy''s heart, as if bringing her back to the days when she was despised, despised, and expelled. At this time. Joy, raise your head. ?Xia Ens gentle and powerful voice sounded in the girls ears. "Don''t pay attention to their words. You are my wife now. They are the ones who should feel inferior." "...Yes." Joey''s expression gradually changed, and she said to herself. Theres nothing to be afraid of, Joey! There was no need for her to feel inferior to these strangers. Besides, she still had Mr. Captain by her side. but wife? Hearing this title from Xia En''s mouth, the girl''s pretty face heated up slightly, as if there was a deer jumping in her heart. It is obviously a simple word, but why does it sound so joyful? ??Had it not been in the public eye, she might have even hummed with joy. ??Joy suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his pointed chin, and looked around at the people in the restaurant. After awakening the siren bloodline for so long, Joey is now very beautiful. Coupled with this gorgeous purple dress, when the cold emotions are revealed in those red eyes, it will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on people. ?Those people who were swept by her gaze couldn''t help but feel ashamed of themselves, and fell silent one by one. ?Shaan shook Joey''s little hand encouragingly and led her forward. ?Perhaps its Joeys eyes that make her look uneasy, or maybe its Xia Ens identity that makes everyone feel fearful. ??Anyway, after that, the whispers nearby stopped. ?People averted their eyes one after another and stopped criticizing him. ?At this time, Xia Ens attention was focused on other parts of the restaurant. He found that there were many exquisite foods on the restaurant table, with the styles of different kingdoms, showing the status of the upper class. Obviously, not only is there no shortage of food on the Diamond Star, but it is extremely abundant. ?However, Xia En did not plan to eat in the restaurant. This space is full of weirdness. Who knows what will happen if you eat these foods. Soon, a fat middle-aged man noticed Xia En''s arrival. ?He quickly stood up, walked to Xia En, and said hello respectfully. Good day, Your Highness Xia En. ??Xia En looked at the middle-aged man and found that he was wearing a special uniform and his identity seemed to be different from other people in the restaurant. "Who are you?" ?Seeing that Xia En didn''t recognize him, the middle-aged man didn''t take it seriously. Instead, he said with a smile. I am the captain of the Diamond Star, Luther. We met when we boarded the ship. ?Shaan raised his eyebrows and murmured: "The captain of the [Diamond Star]?" ?He looked at the fat man in front of him who had a sneer on his face and his eyes were almost squeezed into slits by the fat, and his expression couldn''t help but feel a little weird. Because the name "Diamond Star" is so resounding, it has even been widely circulated in the Seven Seas in later generations. So, in Xia En''s original expectation, the captain of this ship should be a heroic, brave and extremely capable man. ??But the Luther who appeared in front of him now undoubtedly crushed this expectation to pieces. Perceive it from the breath. Luther''s strength does not seem to be weak, perhaps much stronger than Shane''s. But his greasy face and flattering temperament completely destroyed the image of the strong man. certainly. ?Shane is not the kind of person to judge people by their appearance. Maybe Luther deliberately used this image to hide his clumsiness? He did not despise Luther because of this, but casually chatted with the captain. Soon, Sean discovered that Captain Luther was by no means a useless fool. When talking about the customs, special delicacies of each kingdom, and even famous figures on the continent, Luther was able to speak eloquently and eloquently. When facing other nobles, Luther can also find the most suitable attitude to talk to. ?This kind of long-sleeved dance method is a skill in itself! But lets be honest. ?This captain gave Xia En the feeling that he was more like a social butterfly in the upper class, rather than someone who could be entrusted with such an important task as a captain. ?Thinking of this, Xia En felt inexplicably uneasy. After all, the style of a ships crew can also be seen in the captain. Even the captain looks like this, and most of the other crew members will be a little unreliable. ??Moreover, ever since he woke up in the room, Xia En has always had an ominous premonition in his heart. It seems like something bad is about to happen! This premonition is getting stronger as time goes by. ?However, Xia En didnt know where this premonition came from. Speaking of Qingfeng Port in Dayan Kingdom, we have to mention one of their local specialties... Just when Luther was happily introducing to Shane the special delicacies at the end of the trip. Suddenly, there was an exclamation from a corner of the restaurant. Fog! Its foggy! "Um?" Hearing the exclamation, Luther walked to the window, looked out, and then whispered. Its really foggy...its strange. Judging from the weather these days, it should be sunny. Xia En''s expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his head to look at Joey beside him. The two of them looked at each other and could see the uncertainty in each other''s eyes. The foggy weather may be just an accidental event for the people on the ship. But for them, it is not the same thing. Dont forget, before they entered this strange space, they were in the [Misty Sea]. Furthermore, according to rumors circulating at sea, the [Diamond Star]... was lost in a fog! ?Shaan also looked out the window. I saw that the fluctuating mist gradually formed on the sea surface, quietly wrapping the [Diamond Star] in it. ?Moreover, the white fog is getting thicker visibly to the naked eye. Causes surrounding visibility to decrease rapidly. It was as if a giant beast made of mist had swallowed the ship into its belly. ?Such a strange and turbulent fog naturally surprised some passengers on the ship. ??But Shane found that not many people were panicked about this, let alone fear. Seemingly seeing Xia En''s strange mood, Luther comforted him. Your Highness Xia En, dont worry. [Diamond Star] is the best! Luther''s tone was quite proud: "We have experienced three major storms and a tsunami before, and they all passed through it safely." ?Shaan really wanted to tell him that the fog was different this time, but even if he told him, Luther wouldn''t believe it. Xia En just reminded him softly: "It''s better to be cautious." Luther was obviously disapproving and said with a smile. Your Highness Xia En, theres really no need to worry! Its just fog, what impact can it have on the [Diamond Star]? ?However, he had just finished speaking. A muffled sound of "boom". ??There was a faint roar like an explosion from deep in the cabin of this big ship! (End of this chapter) Chapter 286 Goodbye Edward! The obsession of [Diamond Star] Chapter 286 Goodbye Edward! The obsession of [Diamond Star] "What sound?" "It seems like something exploded again?" Many people present heard the roar deep in the cabin. Unlike the mist that diffused around the ship, this seemingly man-made noise actually attracted the attention of many people. Just as Luther said - [Diamond Star] is the best! This large ship, which embodies the wisdom of this era, is like a huge fortress moving on the sea, powerful and solid. Ordinary maritime disasters cannot even scratch it. But the strongest fortresses are often breached from within! Feeling the faint vibration deep in the cabin, Luther looked a little ugly and cursed in a low voice: "It must be those untouchable little **** who have caused trouble again!" "Your Highness Xia En, I will teach them a lesson right now!" "Please continue to enjoy your breakfast. I promise, this will never happen again." After saying that, Luther led the crew around him and hurried towards the depths of the cabin. "...untouchable?" Shane keenly noticed this title from Luther''s words. He realized that his previous judgment might be wrong. Although on the surface, the passengers of the Diamond Star are all nobles and businessmen from the upper class. However, this does not mean that there are no civilians in the lower cabins. The waiters and sailors, for example, obviously came from relatively humble backgrounds. However, Luther''s assurance to Xia En, instead of reassuring him, actually made the ominous premonition in his heart stronger. Heavy fog arises out of nowhere; Vibrations deep in the cabin; And those glimpses I saw earlier... It all seems to indicate that some extremely dangerous disaster is about to befall the [Diamond Star]. Honestly. Under this strong ominous warning sign, Xia En''s first thought was to run! He is not in the state of [Projected Body] now and can commit suicide as he pleases. What''s more important is that Joey is with him! In the face of this unknown disaster, Shane can''t guarantee that he can protect Joey completely. However, the surrounding sea is a false artifact, and it is unknown what existence is hidden in the mist. This [Diamond Star] is like an isolated island in the sea, completely isolated from the world, and there is nowhere to escape even if you want to. Since you can''t escape, you can only find a way to deal with it. "This [Diamond Star] seems to be stronger than my ship." Xia En has been a captain for so long, and his vision is naturally extraordinary. He can also see that the big ship under his feet is impeccable from every angle. Even some of the hull designs are beyond the standards of this era. He touched his chin and thought to himself: "Even if there are any monsters in the fog, it will be difficult to cause real damage to the ship." "It seems that the real danger is perhaps the explosion in the cabin earlier?" Thinking of this, Xia En was ready to take a look inside the cabin of the Diamond Star. But at this moment, a gentle and handsome aristocratic young man walked towards the door of the restaurant. Beside him, there were several handsome young men and women. Such a scene of stars holding the moon could only show that the identity of this young man was not simple. Seeing this young man, Xia En couldn''t help but be startled. Because...he actually recognized the other person! Even though the young man''s face has matured a lot and his height has increased, Xia En can still recognize - This person was none other than Edward Phoenix, whom he had met once before in the City of Giant Woods! That is, the fifth prince of the Kingdom of Turin! However, Edward''s appearance did not change much after he became an adult, but his temperament was completely different. Now, he has lost his former tenderness and innocence, his demeanor is as gentle as jade, and his face and eyes are always smiling, making people look forward to him like a spring breeze. But underneath this smile, there is a compelling nobility, which is very different from before. The surrounding guests were all whispering about this fifth prince who had risen like a comet. Originally, among the several princes and princesses in the Kingdom of Turin, Edward was one of those with little presence. Moreover, because of his identity as an illegitimate child, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed. However, after a trip to the [City of Giant Trees], Edward unexpectedly got involved with the powerful elves. His status in the Kingdom of Turin continued to rise, and with the support of the king, he gradually became a strong contender for the throne. Some people say that it was Edward''s luck that made him turn around in one fell swoop. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that ordinary people may not be able to seize such an opportunity. Whether it is establishing trade with the elves or sparing no effort to promote steam and magic pattern technology in the country, the courage and vision of His Highness the Prince can be seen. His performance in the kingdom over the years has also been appreciated by many people and nobles. On the contrary, his brothers and sisters frequently made mistakes and were not highly regarded both inside and outside the kingdom. So gradually, there were fewer and fewer objections in the Kingdom of Turin. On the other hand, the strength of the Kingdom of Turin is also growing, becoming the most powerful country on the continent. Only then did the current scene of stars holding the moon appear. After Edward entered the restaurant, people nearby immediately gathered around him to greet him. Especially some businessmen doing cross-border business, their eyes lit up. Didn''t they spend so much effort and money on the Diamond Star just to catch up with real princes and nobles so that they could do business more easily? As for the so-called "prophecy of doom?" The businessmen just regarded it as the crazy words of some madman. In fact, there are not a few people on the Diamond Star who have this idea. For thousands of years, there have been prophets and religions advocating "the end of the world" and "catastrophes". But no disaster has finally come true. Otherwise, passengers would not view the voyage of the Diamond Star with this travel attitude. Facing the crowd''s admiration, Edward responded as he walked, concisely and politely, not letting anyone fail. But if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a subtle difference between intimacy and distance. The children of nobles obviously receive more attention than businessmen. Those with noble status and close relations with the Kingdom of Turin will receive more time and attention. These details test the social skills of a noble child the most. And Edward''s performance can only be described as "incomparably excellent". But for some reason, Xia En felt a little sad. The innocent and kind-hearted Edward in the past has finally grown up and become something he is quite unfamiliar with. Edward saw Xia En from a distance and immediately walked up with a smile on his face. "Your Highness Xia En, long time no see." Shane was stunned for a moment before he realized that Edward was greeting the identity he was playing, rather than recognizing himself. He sighed in his heart and said, "Hello, Your Highness Edward." "Huh?" At this time, Edward''s eyes fell on Joey''s face beside him, his smile suddenly froze, and he couldn''t help but let out a light sigh. The more he looked at it, the weirder his expression became, and he couldn''t help but frown, as if he was thinking about something. Joey, on the other hand, felt that the strange man''s eyes were so strange that he couldn''t help but hide behind Xia En. "Ahem." Xia En coughed twice and looked a little cold. After all, Joey is now playing the role of his wife. Isn''t it a bit rude for Edward to stare at her intently? Edward also realized his inappropriate behavior and apologized quickly. "Sorry, I just think this little girl looks so familiar, as if I''ve seen her before somewhere." Hearing this, Xia En was a little strange. Others often call Joey "ma''am", but in Edward''s mouth, why does it become "little girl?" Moreover, in his impression, Edward didn''t seem to be that kind of lecherous person. Staring at Joey in such a disrespectful manner was originally a weird thing. However, Xia En didn''t wait until he could figure out the reason for this abnormal situation. A burst of exclamations erupted outside the restaurant. "Monsters! There are monsters!" "Help!!" Xia En''s expression changed slightly and he turned to look in the direction where the exclamation came from. I saw a strange white entity suddenly appeared in the corridor. This is a monster made of mist, barely maintaining a human form, and constantly making sticky and disgusting squirming sounds. Hoarse growls and murmurs came from the depths of the mist. The moment the "fog monster" appeared, it immediately launched an attack on the nearest passengers. In the blink of an eye, several passengers were pulled into the fog by the fog monster. Immediately afterwards, a creepy chewing sound came from the depths of the mist. However, the nobles more or less brought their own bodyguards. These powerful secret travelers are not vegetarians. They have used their own methods to deal with this fog monster of unknown origin. However, the body of the fog monster is composed of mist, and after being destroyed by ordinary means, it can be reorganized in the blink of an eye. As a result, the guards could only block the attacks of the fog monsters, but could not actually kill them. The current situation is not yet time for Xia En to take action. The guard strength on the [Diamond Star] alone is enough to resist the monsters that appear in the fog. But I can see that the situation has just stabilized... Boom An extremely dull loud noise suddenly rang in everyone''s ears. Xia En''s pupils narrowed, and he judged with his rich experience that this was the sound of the [Diamond Star] hitting something. Without thinking, he took Joey''s hand and ran outside the restaurant. This strange behavior earned the confused looks of many nobles behind him. "Your Highness Xia En!?" After leaving the restaurant, Xia En looked into the fog while blasting away the fog monsters around him. Soon, he saw the outline of a huge iceberg vaguely appearing directly in front of the Diamond Star. The ice loomed in the surging mist, showing strong and cold edges. At the same time, the iceberg is still approaching. Collisions at sea are often not instantaneous, but a relatively long process. This is especially true for the behemoth [Diamond Star]. Shane felt that the deck beneath his feet began to tilt, which meant that the ship''s hull gradually lost its balance. As the water pours in, the entire ship will inevitably sink. Huge waves surged on the sea. People''s panicked screams came from the cabin and restaurant, and some people stood on the edge of the deck, staring blankly at the scene in front of them. But suddenly, a turbulent white light lit up from the field of vision, engulfing Xia En and their bodies... When you open your eyes again. What appeared in front of Xia En was a familiar yet unfamiliar cabin. "here it is?" Shane looked around and quickly judged that this was the bedroom where he had woken up before. The furnishings in the room, including the cabinet in front of me, the stockings on the floor, the soft big bed... are all the same as before. "What''s going on?" Xia En was shocked and confused: "Didn''t the [Diamond Star] sink because it hit an iceberg?" "Why am I back here?" "Mr. Captain!" At this time, Joey''s little head also emerged from under the quilt, and when she looked at the scene around her, she was also greatly shocked. "What happened?" Joey opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Is everything we experienced before just a dream?" Xia En thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, it''s not a dream." "I think the reason why we are here is because... this [Diamond Star] has undergone a reset." Joey was a little confused: "Reset?" Xia En explained: "You can understand that the time in this space goes back to when we just woke up." "What we''ve experienced before, I''m afraid it will happen again." It seemed to prove Xia En''s conjecture. Boom! Two polite knocks came from outside the door. "Mr. Shane, breakfast is ready." The waiter''s respectful voice rang out: "Should it be brought in for you, or should you go to the restaurant to enjoy it yourself?" "We can just go to the restaurant ourselves." After Xia En replied casually, his thoughts fluctuated in his heart. At this moment, after this "reset" and "retrospection", he finally vaguely guessed the truth of this strange space. This space is probably formed by the obsession of the [Diamond Star]! It was not willing to be destroyed in a heavy fog, and the people on board were not willing to die inexplicably like this. Coupled with some special factors, such a strange space was formed. Obviously, the only way to leave this space is to prevent the sinking of the [Diamond Star] and break this cycle. Only when the obsession with the [Diamond Star] is eliminated can this space truly disappear. And now that I think about it, the reason why the [Diamond Star] in [Misty Sea] turned into a ghost ship like a lonely ghost is precisely because of this unwilling obsession. At this time, Xia En suddenly remembered the rumors about the "Diamond Star" at sea. Most of the people who board the ghost ship will disappear quietly and never appear again. Only one person managed to return after boarding the ship, but he also became a complete madman. Could it be that they also broke into this space by mistake at that time? (End of chapter) Chapter 287 rising shadows Chapter 287 The shadow surfaced Various conjectures swirled in Xia En''s mind, giving him a sense of urgency. Obviously, although this space will be constantly reset, the number of resets is definitely limited. In other words, there is a limit to the number of resets Shane and Joey can endure. In fact, after going back in time this time, Xia En was keenly aware that something seemed to be missing from his body. Maybe it''s part of the soul, or maybe it''s part of the memory. If this process is repeated, the two of them will undoubtedly become completely lost on this ghost ship like those unlucky pirates! While Joey was getting dressed, Shane seriously thought about how to break the current situation. Judging from everything I''ve experienced before. The main cause of the sinking of the Diamond Star was the huge iceberg that seemed to appear out of thin air. As for the fog and the monsters in the fog, they are just incidental crises. If there was no fog, people might have been able to see the iceberg and avoid the impact that destroyed the ship and killed people. in other words. As long as the [Diamond Star] changes course in time and leaves the sea where the fog and icebergs are, maybe it can avoid this disaster? Xia En instinctively felt that things were definitely not that simple. But it is indeed a method worth trying. Thinking of this, Shane no longer hesitated, took the dressed Joey out of the room, and hurried towards the restaurant. At this time, Captain Luther should still be dining in the restaurant. On the way, Xia En met the young man wearing a top hat again. "Mr. Shane..." However, this time Xia En didn''t have time to say hello to him. The man had just taken off his hat and before he even finished speaking, the two of them had already walked away. Entering the restaurant, Xia En and the two once again received many curious eyes. There were also many nobles who wanted to come forward and chat with him. But Xia En ignored it and searched for Captain Luther in the crowd. But what surprised him was that when he looked around, he didn''t see the fat middle-aged captain. "Um?" Shane frowned. At this time, Joey beside him whispered: "Could it be that Captain Luther hasn''t arrived at the restaurant yet?" Only then did Xia En realize that in the last "cycle", he went to the waiter to collect information, but this time he came directly to the restaurant. There is naturally a time difference between the two. So, Xia En stood guard at the door of the restaurant, quietly waiting for Luther''s arrival. The other passengers couldn''t help but be surprised when they saw this scene, but due to Xia En''s identity, no one dared to say anything to his face. It didn''t take long. Luther led several crew members towards the restaurant. Xia En walked up directly and said straight to the point: "Captain Luther, I have something important to ask you." Luther was very surprised: "Your Highness Xia En, what are you so anxious about?" Shane patted Luther on the shoulder: "It''s too late to explain. Please take me to the cab first, and we''ll talk slowly on the way." However, the fat captain, who had previously been smiling and easy to talk to, now looked troubled. "Your Highness Xia En, it''s not that I don''t want to take you there." "But the [Diamond Star] set the rules at the beginning of the ship''s construction. No passengers can enter the cab without the order of the salary king." "If I do this, I''m afraid my position as captain will not be guaranteed..." Xia En frowned: "King Xin''s order?" Only then did he suddenly remember that according to legend, the person who ordered the construction of the [Diamond Star] was none other than his former crew member and the Salary King of the Great Yan Kingdom! Looking at Luther with a troubled face, Xia En wanted to say, let alone King Xins order, even King Xin had given him an order! But come to think of it, even if he said it, no one would believe it. Xia En had no choice but to sigh, took Luther to the side, and said seriously. "Let me tell you bluntly, this matter is really important, and may even be related to the survival of the [Diamond Star] and the entire crew." After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. Although this is a bit reckless, it is also the only possible way to convince Luther. Luther was startled, and the fat on his face trembled, but he still managed to smile. "Your Highness Xia En, please don''t scare me." "The [Diamond Star] is the best ship in the world today. How can anything possibly endanger its safety?" Xia En had already expected that Luther would not believe it, so he said with emphasis. "Don''t believe it, this is the result of my divination using special secret techniques." "Next, thick fog will appear around the [Diamond Star], and it will hit an iceberg and sink completely!" "If we don''t act quickly, everything will be over!" After hearing this, Luther finally became a little doubtful. If an ordinary passenger told him such appalling "divination results", he would definitely punch him out before he even finished hearing. But it happened that the person who said this was the distinguished "His Royal Highness Xia En." This made Luther quite confused. If what Xia En said was true, then it would definitely be okay to hide for the time being. But what if its fake? Afterwards, if King Xin punishes him... Then wouldnt all his efforts over the years be in vain? For a moment, Luther was hesitant, which made Xia En feel anxious. For such a big ship, it takes a lot of time to turn or turn around. If Luther continues to hesitate like this, he is afraid that the fog will come! At this moment, a gentle voice sounded next to him. "Captain Luther, His Highness Xia En, what''s going on?" Xia En turned around and saw that the person speaking was Edward, who had a gentle temperament. Apparently, he noticed the unusual behavior of Xia En and others, so he stepped forward to talk to them. Captain Luther hesitated for a moment, but still told Edward the "crisis" that Shane had "divined". After hearing this, Edward was quite surprised and said in shock: "Is there such a thing?" But after thinking for a moment, Edward still said: "I believe His Highness Xia En will not lie about this kind of thing." "Moreover, for such a big thing, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist." "Let''s do this, Captain Luther. His Highness Xia En and I will vouch for you together. If King Xin pursues the case afterwards, you will give us our names." Upon hearing this, Luther''s eyes lit up. "This method works." Xia En''s name alone was not enough to make Luther do such an act of disobedience. But coupled with Edward''s reputation, he immediately made up his mind. Shane unexpectedly glanced at Edward beside him, not expecting him to make such a decision. For aristocrats in the old days, reputation was a very important asset. Just after listening to his own words, he was willing to bet on his own reputation. This kind of trust made Xia En very fond of him. Just now. Edward''s eyes fell on Joey next to him again, staring blankly for a moment. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "...huh?" Edward quickly came to his senses. He scratched the back of his head and said a little confused himself. "Sorry, I just think this little girl looks so familiar, as if I''ve seen her before somewhere." Shane was in a weird mood. Does Joey really have some kind of special attraction to Edward that makes him behave like this? But right now, it''s obviously not the time to dwell on this issue. After making up his mind, Captain Luther''s actions were considered resolute. He immediately took out a mechanical device with strange magic patterns from his arms and said: "First Mate Femia! First Mate Femia!" Please reply if you hear that! Having said that, Luther still had time to explain to Xia En and the others: "This is our latest communication device, which can be used for communication in emergencies." "Diwu...diwu..." However, to Luther''s surprise. For a long time, no human voice came from the communication device, only blind sounds one after another. Hearing this made people panic for no reason. At this time, no matter how stupid Luther was, he knew something was wrong. The fat face suddenly turned serious: "Something happened!" He immediately said to the three of them: "Please follow me, I will take you to the cab." Not long after, under the leadership of Luther, the group moved towards the depths of the cabin. However, the [Diamond Star] is unusually large, and the space inside is complicated. Just traveling took a long time. Even when the four of them were halfway there... boom! Deep in the cabin, there was a faint muffled sound like an explosion. Shane was not surprised by the muffled sound and knew that there was a commotion somewhere in the cabin. But compared to a big crisis that could destroy the entire [Diamond Star], this kind of trivial matter can undoubtedly be put aside first. After hearing the muffled sound, Luther''s expression also changed slightly. These successive abnormal situations are enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. He didn''t say anything, but his pace quickened a bit. Go through a long passage. The group finally arrived at the door of the cab. "Captain Luther?" Next to the cab, a nearby sailor poked his head out of the cabin and looked at Luther in confusion. They didn''t understand why Luther looked so ugly, and why he rushed here in a hurry with two young nobles? To be honest, the experience on the Diamond Star was the happiest time for these sailors. Ordinary ships, when faced with wind and waves, have to worry about whether they will sink or whether they will be attacked by some underwater monsters. But on the [Diamond Star] there are no such worries at all. You only need to clean the house every day and maintain the equipment. Even these chores can be left to those bully little brats. Over time, the attitude of the sailors began to relax. Therefore, even though Luther''s attitude was very serious, they still didn''t take it seriously. Luther roared at the sailors like a furious, fat lion: "Where is Femia?" The sailors rarely saw Captain Luther showing such a posture, and they couldn''t help but feel a little afraid. Finally, a brave sailor said: "The first mate should be in the bridge, right?" "It seems like they never came out." Luther immediately walked to the door of the cab and banged the door hard. "Femia, open the door for me! Open the door quickly!" However, there was no movement in the cab. The door of this room was also closed tightly in silence, revealing a strong ominous meaning. Xia En smelled the smell of the air, and his pupils couldn''t help but shrink. "It smells like blood!" After hearing his reminder, Luther didn''t hesitate any longer, and his fat body hit the door like a cannonball. No matter how unreliable Luther seems, his strength is always real. With just one collision, the door made of steel was knocked open. I saw the corpses of many sailors lying in the spacious cab. Judging from the uniforms they wore, it seemed that among them there were the second and third officers of the [Diamond Star]. The crewmen''s eyes widened, as if they could not rest in death. In the center of the cab, a man was leaning against the huge steering wheel. He also had many injuries on his body, and the blood flowing out from his body gathered into a pool of blood, but the expression on his face was unexpectedly calm. "Femia, what''s going on!" Luther stared at the man and asked, "Did you do these...?" Femia, the first mate of the Diamond Star, just looked at Luther coldly and let out a somewhat crazy laugh. "Hehehe..." "I will die, you will die, we...all will die!" "Captain Luther, let''s hit the road together!" Seeing this scene, Xia En also felt huge waves in his heart. He originally thought that the collision between the Diamond Star and the iceberg was just an accident. But now it seems that this is not the case. It seems that there is a certain force or organization that wants to destroy the Diamond Star and everyone on board, dragging them all into the deep sea of ??despair. And this first officer named "Femia" is a member of this force. It was not until this "cycle" that their whereabouts were gradually revealed, like shadows emerging from the water. "Fog, foggy!" Hearing the exclamations of the sailors outside the bridge, Xia En''s heart sank to the bottom, knowing that everything was already too late. Now, even if you gain control of the [Diamond Star], you will still lose your way due to the boundless fog around it. It was probably a matter of time before we hit that iceberg. Sure enough. What happened next was just as Xia En expected. The fog monster appears and everyone resists. A huge crash sounded, and seawater poured into the hull. Then, endless white light engulfed Shane and Joey... After a moment of trance. Xia En opened his eyes again, and he still saw the familiar room in front of him. His thoughts were a little confused, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses, and he sighed softly. "Failed..." Xia En analyzed the reasons for his failure. "However, the reason why it failed this time was because it took too much time to persuade Luther to make up his mind." If we compress the process and speed it up, we might be able to succeed. With this idea in mind, Shane started trying again. This time, he did not wait foolishly for Luther to arrive. He found Edward first, and then found Captain Luther with Edward, thus saving a lot of time. When he arrived at the bridge, First Officer Femia had just killed all the sailors here. Xia En and others easily subdued him. But just when Luther was about to steer the [Diamond Star] to turn, he encountered another fatal problem... (End of chapter) Chapter 288 Speedrun copy? The real cause! Chapter 288: Speed ????dungeon? The real cause! In the cab, in front of the steering wheel. Captain Luther''s face turned pale after repeated operations, and he said with a trembling face full of fat. "S-The steering system is malfunctioning!" Hearing this, Xia En''s face darkened and he quickly asked: "What''s going on?" Luther explained: "It seems that there is something wrong with the steering rudder deep in the cabin. It will take at least two or three hours to repair it." "Two or three hours?" Xia En''s face became more and more gloomy. After such a long time, by the time it was repaired, the [Diamond Star] might have hit the iceberg. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the dull explosion sound that he had ignored before. Thinking about it now, the timing of the explosion was extremely weird. It was just before the fog dispersed, which was also the time when the murder in the cab occurred. Could it be that that explosion caused the steering system of the Diamond Star to malfunction? The more Xia En thought about it, the more it seemed possible. Since this group of guys with unknown origins intends to drag the [Diamond Star] into the deep sea, they must be extremely well prepared. What''s in the cab is just one of Femia''s trump cards. Now, knowing that this "cycle" has failed, Xia En simply relaxes his mind and wants to learn more information about the Diamond Star before it sinks. He pointed at Femia, who had committed suicide, and asked Luther: "What is the origin of this first mate?" At this time, Luther completely believed in Shane''s "prophecy", so he naturally answered all questions and knew everything, honestly speaking. "Femia was originally just an ordinary little sailor on the Diamond Star, but after the first trial voyage, he was appreciated by the salary king and was promoted to the first mate of the ship." "Before this, Femia has always behaved very honestly and fulfilled his duties as first officer responsibly, but he didn''t expect..." "A common sailor..." Xia En''s eyes narrowed, remembering the word "untouchable" that Luther had insulted before, and asked seriously again. "Are there civilians from various kingdoms in the lower cabin?" Luther was stunned for a moment, not understanding why His Highness Xia En would suddenly mention this, but in the face of his impressive power, he nodded quickly. "Yes, it is also King Xin''s request to accommodate some civilians." "Many civilians are also responsible for the work of sailors and handymen..." At this point, Luther himself came to his senses and murmured: "Your Highness Xia En, you mean..." "I''m not sure either." Xia En said this, but in his heart he already regarded these civilians as objects of suspicion. And he also noticed that both Femia and the civilians on the ship seemed to have some connection with King Xin? Just as Shane was thinking, exclamations came from outside the cab. "Fog, foggy!" Then, the familiar fog rose again. The familiar plot is happening again. Not long after, the dazzling white light submerged Xia En and the two like a tide... Only this time. The time covered in white light seemed a bit long. When Xia En opened his eyes in the familiar room, he felt his brain was dizzy and his thinking was slightly sluggish. "here it is" It took Xia En nearly half a minute to recall everything he had encountered before. His brows furrowed deeply. Obviously, this is a very bad sign. His previous conjecture came true. As the number of "loops" increased, the influence of this obsession space on him continued to deepen. Suddenly, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Even he has this symptom, so Joey... "...Your Highness?" At this time, a soft question came from the big bed. The girl opened the quilt, stretched lazily, and looked at Xia En with nostalgia, regardless of the spring light leaking from her body. "Joy?!" Hearing this title, Xia En''s scalp went numb. In his impression, Joey had never called him in this tone. Xia En quickly turned around and looked. Joey looked charming, like a freshly moistened flower, which made Xia En even more worried. "Joy? What''s wrong with you Joey?" "...Joy?" The girl was slightly startled, frowned and said to herself: "What a familiar name...is this my name?" Her expression was very tangled, and there was a bit of pain in her eyebrows, and she kept muttering: "Who am I?" "Joy...I''m Joey?" About a minute later, Joey suddenly woke up. After seeing his posture at this time, he couldn''t help but let out a low cry and got back into the quilt again. Although he enjoyed the beautiful scenery, Xia En was not happy at all. Joy''s performance shows that her assimilation with this space is deepening, so much so that she begins to forget her original identity and assumes the role she plays. One can imagine. If Joey couldn''t remember his name, he might really get lost in this space. The pirates who came into contact with the ghost ship before always disappeared like this. Shane''s soul and will have been polished several times and have long been as solid as a rock. Therefore, he can persist in more "cycles" and can serve as an anchor for Joey to help her confirm her identity. But if Xia En has doubts about his identity, then the two of them are not far from being truly lost. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression became serious and he made up his mind. "It seems that some extraordinary measures must be used." In this cycle. Shane did not go to find Edward or Captain Luther, but directly followed the route in his memory and headed to the cab of the [Diamond Star]. At this point in time, the dull explosion had not yet sounded, and the murder in the cab had not yet occurred. This means that the [Diamond Star] still has the possibility of turning around. The only problem is how to control the [Diamond Star]. In this regard, Xia En already had a bold idea in his mind. Along the way, the crew members were all surprised when they saw Xia En rushing towards the cab and wanted to stop him. No matter what, the rules of the [Diamond Star] are always here. Even Captain Luther hesitated when faced with Shane''s request, let alone these uninformed ordinary crew members. "Sir, what do you want to do?" "Your Highness Xia En, please stop!" Amidst a burst of exclamations, Xia En''s steps did not stop at all, and he rushed forward with Joey. All the sailors who stood in front of him were knocked unconscious by his palm. With Xia En''s current strength and body control, he can naturally do this easily. In fact, the fastest way is to kill all the way, but even in this constantly circulating space, Xia En doesn''t want to do that. His figure shuttles through the shadows from time to time, at an incredibly fast speed. Such reckless and crude behavior naturally caused an uproar on the Diamond Star. "Enemy attack!!" With a long cry, more and more sailors are coming in this direction. Among them, the proportion of secret travelers is also increasing rapidly. On this [Diamond Star], there are an extremely large number of high-level mystics, otherwise they would not be able to compete head-on with the fog monsters in the fog. If they hadn''t hit an iceberg in the fog, the fog monster might not have been able to do anything to them. In just a moment, Xia En noticed several extremely threatening presences in the aura coming from nearby. Xia En narrowed his eyes and sped up his movements. What he wants is to temporarily seize control of the [Diamond Star], not to become an enemy of everyone on the ship. Fortunately, at this time, he was not far away from the cab. With a "bang", Xia En knocked open the cab door. Facing the stunned sailors in the room who didn''t know what was going on, he pointed at the first mate Femia and said. "Femia, something happened to you!" "It''s not too late to surrender now." Femia: "???" No matter how smart the first officer was, he never expected such a change, and he didn''t understand how Xia En found out that he had evil intentions. The previous commotion outside the door, to his ears, was undoubtedly directed at him! Now that he had been exposed, Femia simply stopped pretending, sneered, and attacked the nearest second officer. "Femia, what are you doing!" "Take action to subdue him!" Femia looked ferocious: "Even if I die, I will take you with me!" Immediately, the two groups of people used their own methods and fought together. While the two sides were fighting, Xia En and Joey quietly came to the rudder of the Diamond Star. To be honest, Shane was no stranger to this rudder. Because on the later projected ship [Diamond Star], he had personally touched it countless times. However, the rudder in front of me is obviously brand new, and it also has a strange atmosphere. Although there is a field of [Great Dark Sky] surrounding it, protecting Shane and Joey from the melee. But Xia En knew that there was not much time left for him. Not to mention the several secret travelers who rushed to the cabin quickly, the time before the dull explosion was already very close. Whether we can break the cycle may depend on this attempt! So Xia En no longer hesitated and firmly grasped the steering wheel in front of him. Seeing this scene, the sailors in the cab looked strangely and even found it a little funny. What does this richly dressed young man want to do? Want to control the [Diamond Star] by just one person? Doesn''t he even have this bit of common sense? For the average captain, just controlling the steering wheel is not enough to quickly turn a large ship like the Diamond Star. It also needs to be matched with the adjustment of the sail angle, the assistance of the corner sail and the side sail. It can be said that this is a complex task that requires the cooperation of many sailors. Otherwise, why would the [Diamond Star] bring so many sailors? But Xia En is different! With [Captain''s Majesty], he can control a ship with just one person! Of course, for unfamiliar ships, Xia En''s [Captain''s Prestige] will not take effect. But don''t forget, before entering this strange space, Xia En was already the owner of the projected [Diamond Star]! An inseparable connection has been established between them! That''s why Xia En made this seemingly absurd attempt. Of course, Xia En is also betting that this big ship will still regard him as the captain! The next moment. boom! ! There was a loud bang in my mind. Xia En''s will quickly spread to all parts of the ship''s hull, like a raging tsunami, and the stormy waves swept invisibly. However, it is different from the extremely smooth feeling when controlling the [Black Swan]. When in contact with various components within the [Diamond Star], Xia En could feel obvious resistance, like gears that had not been lubricated for a long time. It''s like... they are silently rejecting their own contact. But even so, two breaths later. Shane''s will is still carried out in every corner of the ship. At this moment, [Diamond Star] seemed to have become an extension of his body. Even in the very deep place of the ship, Xia En could vaguely sense a sleeping consciousness. Come to think of it, that is the ship spirit of the [Diamond Star]! But at this time, Xia En had no time to communicate with the ship spirit. The moment he took control of the ship, he immediately began to turn the ship''s bow and move in the opposite direction. Because the U-turn happened so quickly, the huge hull of the [Diamond Star] tilted quite a bit, as if it was drifting at sea. Fortunately, this ship is, after all, the crystallization of the wisdom of this era. After a brief tilt, balance was quickly restored. But the passengers on the boat couldn''t help but stagger around, and some fell to the ground, causing a huge commotion. The crew members in the cab looked at Xia En in disbelief. Just one person can make a ship like the Diamond Star make such an incredible turn. Before today, they would not have believed that this would happen. Xia En couldn''t help but let out a long breath. He didn''t care about the reactions of other people on the ship. Since the [Diamond Star] had deviated from its original trajectory, it should have escaped the ending of hitting an iceberg, right? Soon, a group of people rushed to the cab first. The leaders were clearly Edward and Captain Luther. Edward looked at Xia En in surprise: "Your Highness Xia En, what happened?" "Why are you doing this?" After experiencing the exciting "speed pass" just now, Xia En was also a little tired and too lazy to explain to these NPCs. But that''s it. Bang! The muffled sound like an explosion came from deep inside the cabin again. Upon hearing this voice, Xia En''s expression suddenly changed and he realized a possibility. "No way?" Not long after, the raging white light came again... After the white light. It took Xia En longer to wake up from his hazy state again. He frowned, his heart full of confusion: "What''s going on?" "Why did the white light still appear after I obviously changed my direction to avoid the fog and icebergs?" After thinking for a moment, Xia En came up with an incredible guess. "Could it be that the iceberg was not what really caused the destruction of the [Diamond Star]?" This conjecture made Xia En''s face look extremely ugly. Because this means that all his previous efforts may have been in vain. But if the culprit isnt an iceberg, what could it be? Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind. "White light! By the way, that white light!" (End of chapter) Chapter 289 The Instigator, Truth and Edward Chapter 289 The initiator, the truth and Edward In the previous "cycles", Xia En always thought that the white light that flooded his vision and body was a sign of the "reset" of this space. It''s like the cutscene when you die in a game. But now that I think about it carefully, I find that the white light seems to be composed of a violent secret force. Moreover, each time the white light appears, there are subtle differences. In the first cycle, the white light appeared the last, and it was not until the [Diamond Star] was mostly submerged that it belatedly emerged. After several cycles, the time when the white light appears has been advanced. Sometimes not long after hitting the iceberg, white light appears. This was obviously influenced by Operation Shane. "Wait, isn''t that actually white light, but... a man-made explosion?" "Or, some kind of powerful spell?" Xia En frowned and thought to himself: "And those people who want to destroy the [Diamond Star] should have noticed my actions." "They were worried that something might change later, so they advanced their plans?" Although this was just Shane''s guess, the information collected during these "loops" made him firm up his idea. It was true that Xia En had mistaken the goal of breaking the game before. The "recyclable" process itself is not without value. "So, if you want to prevent the sinking of the [Diamond Star], the key is to find the source of this big explosion..." Shane immediately thought of the muffled sound coming from the cabin. If you find the place where the muffled sound came from, you might be able to follow the clues and catch the culprit who caused the sinking of the [Diamond Star]. After clarifying his thoughts, Xia En first spent some time waking up the confused Joey and helping her understand her identity. Then, he put his hand on the wall inside the room. In the last "loop," Shane had rediscovered his connection to the ship. And with the "reset" of time, this connection has not been broken. Xia En guessed that this was because the bond between him and the [Diamond Star] originated from the depths of his soul, and naturally could not be easily erased. Touching the wall of the cabin, Shane could vaguely perceive some scenes inside the ship. On a large ship like the Diamond Star, the space inside the cabin is intricate. If I had to find my own way, I don''t know how much time would be wasted. This is because on the [Diamond Star], Xia En''s control is not perfect enough, so he needs to use this stupid method. If he were on the Black Swan, his perception would be all over the entire ship, and he could even determine where each wave hits the hull. Not long after. Xia En''s eyes were fixed on the lower cabin, an area near the power room. There is no other reason. An unusual number of people gathered in this area. Among them were many mysterious people with good auras, who seemed to be holding a secret gathering. Just such a gathering itself seems very suspicious. Especially when the [Diamond Star] is about to encounter disaster, it is difficult not to doubt whether these people gathered for any special purpose. After discovering the suspicious target, Shane did not hesitate and took Joey directly towards the lower cabin. Xia En, who had made contact with the Diamond Star, had a clear view of the surrounding routes as if he had turned on the full map. Less than five minutes. Xia En and the two came to the vicinity of the gathering area. The lower cabin of the [Diamond Star] is very spacious. In addition to the crew''s accommodation, there is also a spacious storage hall. Dont forget, this ship was originally designed to escape the floods that swept the world. Being able to provide the daily necessities of so many crew members, the storage hall of the [Diamond Star] is naturally incredibly large. At this time, the location of this secret gathering was in one of the empty storage halls. Tap tap tap Before Xia En entered the hall, there was a sound of footsteps beside him. Walking from the corridor were two young sailors. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, still just a teenager. However, they were sallow and thin, and their clothes were in tatters, carrying a lot of dirt and dust. There were wounds that looked like whip marks on their unkempt faces. Xia En''s eyes narrowed slightly and he guessed the identities of these two teenagers. Obviously, they are what Luther called "the little **** among the untouchables." They are the civilians living on the lower level of the ship. However, judging from the appearance of the two teenagers, it is obvious that the living conditions of the civilians in the lower cabin are not very good. Not only did they not have enough food and water, but they also seemed to have suffered a certain degree of abuse. But to be honest, Shane wasn''t surprised by this. In the Age of Discovery, the lives of lower-level sailors were indeed not too precious, let alone protecting their human rights. On those ships that transported slaves, in order to carry a few more slaves, the bottom cabin was almost packed to capacity, and the living space of each slave was only a little bigger. They can only **** and pee in place, and only give them the minimum amount of food. The death rate during transportation is appallingly high. Although the [Diamond Star] was not a slave ship, the oppression of civilians by nobles obviously existed. However, understanding is understanding. Thinking of the gorgeous and beautiful decoration in the upper cabin that can even be described as "luxury", and the rich and noble people coming and going in the restaurant... Compare this to the shabby and deserted appearance of the lower cabin. Xia En inevitably felt some unspeakable feelings in his heart. With chaotic thoughts flashing through his mind, Shane held Joey in his arms and took a step towards the shadow in the corner. In an instant, shadows rippled like water waves, gently wrapping their bodies and blocking outsiders'' sight. "Um?" The taller of the two teenagers turned around and looked around, questioningly. "Did you hear anything?" The other boy shook his head: "No." The tall boy thought for a moment and said, "I must have heard wrong." "But...have you really thought about it? Once we walk through this door, there is really no way back for us." "I''ve thought about it!" The young man who was asked looked serious, with resentment and hatred in his eyes: "Why should those nobles decide who can get on this ship?" "Why can they eat so much and eat so much while we can only eat black bread and drink dirty water from smelly ditches?" "Anyway, the flood is coming soon, and my father and sister won''t survive. So I''ll just take all those old men to the sea and feed them to the sharks!" "If you want to die, let''s die together!" At the end of the sentence, the young man''s tone was full of murderous intent. Obviously, this kind of resentment is not accumulated in one day, but accumulated over a long period of time. Hearing these words, Xia En, who was in the shadow, looked suddenly enlightened. At this moment, he finally understood who it was that wanted to destroy the [Diamond Star] civilian! It was these common people whom the nobles looked down upon, who decided to drag this [Diamond Star], together with the noble gentlemen on board, into the deep sea! From the young man''s words, it was not difficult to hear Xia En. Unlike the nobles who generally do not believe in the "world-destroying flood", the lower-class servants and commoners are extremely confident in the arrival of the great flood. Its easy to understand if you think about it carefully. The more miserable people are and the more hopeless they are, the more they long for the end. This is not only the expectation of self-destruction, but also the hope that a disaster will destroy the original order and give them a chance to climb up. Come to think of it, these civilians paid a huge price to board this "Noah''s Ark." At the same time, their family members were unable to board the shipsuch as the boys father and sister. They became abandoned people. This will undoubtedly make many people feel resentful towards the nobles. Coupled with the huge gap between the upper and lower cabins of the [Diamond Star], the contrast between luxury and shabbyness is bound to cause dissatisfaction among many people. If someone were to add fuel to the flames and fan the flames, it''s hard to imagine what these civilians would do. It seemed to confirm Xia En''s conjecture. In the empty storage hall, a burst of shouting suddenly broke out. The two teenagers looked at each other and said, "The pastor must be preparing to hold a ceremony." "Let''s go in quickly!" After that, the two walked into the storage hall. Using the disguise of shadows, Shane and Joey follow. As soon as they walked into the hall, they saw at least dozens of sailors standing here, looking in one direction with slightly fanatical eyes. In the middle of them is a high platform protruding from the ground. An old man with white hair and a mask stood on the high platform, seeming to be saying something to the sailors. This should be what the teenagers call "Mr. Pastor." This is more than just like a cult gathering, it is clearly the scene of a cult gathering! "My Lord saw that man''s sins on earth were extremely great, so he announced that he would use floods to destroy all living creatures of flesh and blood on the earth and in the world. Every living thing will die!" Its a cleansing of our souls and a cleansing of the world. The pastor said in an old and gentle voice: "However, those greedy and selfish nobles built this ship of sin in an attempt to avoid the washing of the flood." "How selfish and how blasphemous!" "We cannot bear it, so we must resist!" To be honest, Xia En was not very interested in what this unknown magician said. But under the encouragement of the masked old man''s encouraging tone, Xia En could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the hall had changed. People are getting more and more excited and fanatical. Shane suspected that the old man had used some special secret technique while speaking to make the sailors almost blindly trust him. Suddenly, the young man who had just arrived asked. "Mr. Pastor, can we really enter the Lord''s kingdom after we die?" "certainly." The old man vowed: "If you sacrifice your life for my Lord, you will naturally be accepted by the warm and bright Kingdom of God." He said this very seriously, and he obviously believed it to be true. Also, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. But after hearing these words, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. The kingdom of light? Could it be... Xia En''s eyes fell on everyone''s feet. On the floor, there was a huge magic circle, which almost included the entire storage hall. It is said to be a magic array, but it feels more like a large altar. For some of the runes, Xia En could recognize them at a glance and murmured in his heart. "Hui Jiao?!" Yes, based on Xia En''s experience of spending many days in the [Land of Glory], it can be seen that these runes are inextricably linked to the Hui Sect. This means that this "Mr. Pastor" actually believes in the Billions of Glory Sect? Shane''s first reaction was disbelief. To be honest, during this period of getting along, Xia En developed a good impression of Hui Jiao. But right now In the dim cabin, an old man wearing a strange mask softly recited strange spells. The faint firelight reflected the extreme fanaticism on people''s faces. The whole scene is filled with a strong sense of evil. It is very different from the light and purification mentioned by the old people. Immediately afterwards, the magic circle under people''s feet began to light up, licking their ankles and calves, and clinging to them like living creatures. The meaning of those runes is sacrifice! It is obvious that the old man is ready to sacrifice the lives of everyone here in exchange for a miracle. Of course, Xia En would not watch this happen. Without hesitation, he emerged from the shadows and knocked the masked old man unconscious with one punch. "Who?" Everyone looked at him in astonishment. After seeing the noble attire, strong hostility suddenly appeared in people''s eyes. "It''s those criminal nobles!" "Kill him! Kill him!" Although Xia En sympathized with the civilians, his words were meaningless in front of this group of crazy guys. He struck directly and knocked them to the ground. This battle can only be described as devastating. Just after everyone lost the ability to move, a familiar figure walked at the door of the hall. Edward looked at him strangely and asked, "Your Highness Xia En? What happened?" "Edward? Why are you here?" Shane frowned. At this moment, he finally suddenly realized where the strange feeling that he had ignored before came from. Every time he "cycles", he seems to meet the prince named "Edward". The first two "loops" are understandable. After all, the first time was a coincidence, and the second time it was Xia En who took the initiative to find him. But in the third cycle, when Shane was preparing for the speed pass, he actually saw Edward in the cab. This seems a little weird. As for this encounter, it was even more incredible. How could Edward appear in this storage hall by such a coincidence and happen to bump into the gathering? There is no such coincidence in the world! Thinking of this, Xia En looked solemn and asked Edward. "Who are you anyway?" "who I am?" Edward was stunned for a moment, then smiled. After this smile, it was as if an invisible mask was peeled off his face, allowing him to return to his true self. Immediately afterwards, Edward took out a single-sided spectacle from his coat pocket and put it on slowly. There is an indescribable elegance in his movements. When he actually put on his glasses, his whole demeanor changed. Edward bowed to Xia En gracefully and said with a gentle smile: "You can call me... [Undertaker]." (End of chapter) Chapter 290 Father and daughter meet! The inside story of [Truth Society]! Chapter 290 Father and daughter meet! The inside story of [Truth Society]! Looking at the man with a single-sided glasses and a strange temperament in front of him, Xia En''s heart was shocked and set off a huge wave. Edward is the [Undertaker]! ? In fact, from the first meeting, Xia En felt that Edward''s facial features were somewhat familiar. But I dont know where this familiarity comes from. It wasn''t until he put on this single-sided gold-rimmed glasses that Xia En completely connected him with the [Undertaker]/[Observer] he had met in the promotion ritual. This was something Shane never envisioned. So, was the Edward he met in the past [City of Giant Woods] an ordinary prince? Or is it that [The Undertaker] has been looking at him with playful eyes from that moment on? Even Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill after thinking about this. "It seems that you have seen me, more than once?" Edward, or [The Undertaker], after seeing Shane''s reaction, raised a smile on his lips and continued. "But the strange thing is that I don''t have any impression of the name ''Shane''..." Ever since Edward revealed his identity, time in this space seemed to have entered a stagnant state. Whether it was the white light that lit up in the magic circle or the fanatic believers who fell to the ground and moaned softly, they all became strangely still. No one can interrupt the conversation between the two of them. Therefore, Edward''s words were even more slow and he spoke while thinking. "Then there are only two possibilities." "One possibility is that what you see is me who has not yet ''awakened''." "Another possibility is that the time you met me is after I left the anchor on this ship." "Or is it both?" Xia En chewed Edward''s words carefully, his expression became more and more solemn, and he thought to himself. "The un''awakened'' me? You mean the ignorant Edward at that time?" "Could it be that Edward became [The Undertaker] one day after that?" "What does the ''anchor'' on this ship mean?" He had some vague guesses. But just these sporadic words are not enough to deduce the whole truth of the matter. What''s more, Xia Enke still remembers that this mysterious [Undertaker] comes from the [Truth Society]! The relationship between the two parties is that of enemies, not friends! Is it possible that the other party will take action against him? And in this strange, constantly resetting space, Xia En had no confidence at all in defeating this mysterious [Undertaker]. Even so, Xia En silently mobilized the secret power in his body, ready to fight to the death at any time. But that''s it. A confused voice sounded beside the two of them. "Father?" Beside Xia En, Joey opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the man in front of him. The moment he saw Joey, Edward''s always calm and elegant expression finally changed dramatically. He frowned, stared at Joey''s face, and murmured, "Who are you?" "Why do you make me feel...so familiar?" "But in my memory, this is the first time I see you?" At this moment, Xia En suddenly remembered that Joey was born in a large stronghold of the [Truth Society]. And her father is also one of the researchers wearing single-sided glasses! During the last promotion ritual, Xia En had tested the name "Diana" to [Undertaker], but unfortunately he did not receive a definite answer. At this time, Xia En did not expect that Joey and [The Undertaker] would meet under such circumstances. "Father, don''t you recognize me?" Joey looked at [The Undertaker] with equally complicated eyes. There is nostalgia, confusion, and incomprehension... Although she failed to recognize Edward''s identity at first, now, the face in front of her overlapped with the gentle face in her memory, and they were no longer distinguishable from each other. However, what makes Joey feel a little sad is that his father... doesn''t seem to remember him anymore. She couldn''t help but ask: "Have you even forgotten your mother?" Edward said blankly: "Father...you mean, I am your father?" "But who is your mother?" "Diana." At this time, Xia En took a step forward and took the initiative to speak: "Her mother''s name is Diana, and she is a rare genius of the Siren clan in a thousand years." "Decades ago, she was abducted by forces suspected of being the [Truth Society] and gave birth to a child with one of the researchers." "Do you have even the slightest impression of these past events?" Upon hearing this name, Edward''s body trembled visibly, and he couldn''t help but murmur to himself. "Diana...Diana...Diana...Diana...Diana..." Every time he repeated the name, the expression on his face and the tone of his voice changed. Sometimes empty, sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, sometimes angry. He looks like he is crying, he looks like he is laughing, he looks like he is crazy. At this moment, Edward felt less like a human being and more like a malfunctioning radio or a computer program that had crashed and garbled characters. Shane protected Joey behind him and looked at Edward nervously and warily. In this world, those who lose their minds and fall into madness are particularly terrifying. The secret power in their bodies will go wild, causing distortion of body and soul. At this time, the Edward in front of him was obviously crazy! Even if he suddenly turned into a deformed monster and attacked him, Xia En would not be surprised at all. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen. Just when Edward''s mind was about to collapse, his eyes suddenly lit up with a silvery white light. Countless data flowed through his eyes like a waterfall. [An abnormal situation with serial number G23 was detected, and the abnormality type is unknown...] [Personality reboot in progress...] A voice as cold as a machine sounded directly from Edward''s body. But the next moment. Drip dirt... drip dirt... A shrill alarm sounded. At the same time, Edward''s eyes also turned scarlet, as if they were about to bleed. His expression was extremely ferocious, as if he was using his willpower to fight against some kind of existence. [Restart aborted! Restart aborted! warn! Serial number G23 lost control! Serial number G23 lost control! Please clear it in time...] Suddenly, the alarm sound stopped abruptly, and two lines of **** tears flowed from Edward''s eyes, sliding down his cheeks. When he opened his eyes again, the man''s temperament changed again, appearing peaceful and stable. Whether it is the crazy state just now or the elegant and cold appearance before, it is completely different. After opening his eyes, Edward''s eyes naturally fell on Joey, and then he showed a gentle smile. There was an indescribable sadness and rich apology in his eyes. "Joy, thank you for all your hard work over the years." Hearing this, Joey''s tears could no longer stop and flowed down like broken pearls. At this moment, Edward''s demeanor and tone were exactly the same as her memories when she was young. Obviously, at this moment, Edward turned back into Joey''s father, instead of appearing in front of the two of them as a "mourner" or "observer". Edward gently hugged Joy and patted her back, with a look of love on his face. "I didn''t expect you to have grown so big." "You and your mother are really alike..." Faced with this touching reunion between father and daughter, Xia En''s mood was a little strange. From the tense situation before, it suddenly turned into such a warm atmosphere. It was strange that I was not used to it. Moreover, why do you feel like you are meeting your father-in-law? At the same time, Xia En had more doubts in his heart. Not only was Edward such a huge change before and after, but also the information revealed by that cold mechanical voice was very intriguing. After a brief warm session, Edward turned to look at Shane and spoke frankly. "This personality slice can only last for a short time. If you have anything to ask, please ask as soon as possible." Hearing this, Xia En asked directly: "What does personality slicing mean?" Edward replied: "The person I am in this [Diamond Star] obsession is not the real me, but just a program that condenses my memory." "When this program is activated, I will wake up as [The Undertaker]." "In the [Truth Society], this form is called personality slicing." "Not only in such a sandwiched space, but also in promotion rituals, and even in certain periods of history, personality slices of different members of the [Truth Society] may appear." Xia En''s heart was awe-inspiring, and he immediately thought of Edward, who claimed to be the "Observer" in the promotion ritual. If the [Truth Society] really has such means, wouldnt the past history have been polluted by them long ago? No wonder Augustine called it the worm that eats history. No wonder the shadow of the Truth Society can be found in many major historical events. As if he saw what Xia En was thinking, Edward shook his head. "This technology is far from mature, and it still has extremely strict requirements." "For example, the soul of the person being sliced ??needs to be extra strong." "For another example, there can only be one sliced ??personality in the same era. If there are multiple personalities, they will collapse quickly." Even the president of the [Truth Society] doesnt know the reason behind it. "So far, there are only five people in the [Truth Society] who can do this, and one of them even betrayed the [Truth Society]." At this point, Edward smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren''t for this reason, I would probably have died long ago, right?" Xia En frowned slightly: "How do you say this?" Edward said: "You should have noticed that the me now is very different from the previous [Undertaker]." "It can even be said that we don''t feel like the same person." Shane nodded: "That''s true." There is a big gap not only between [Undertaker] and the current Edward, but also between [Undertaker] and [Observer]. Like twin brothers with the same appearance but different personalities. "The reason is simple." "Human personality is essentially determined by memory." "For the same reason, you only need to delete or add memories from different personality slices to create different personalities." Edward said softly while looking at his daughter. "Back then, my acquaintance with Diana was originally just a task assigned to me by my superiors." "But later on, I really fell in love with Diana, so I disobeyed the [Truth Society]''s orders and wanted to rescue their mother and daughter." "It''s a pity that the success fell short in the end. In desperation, I could only let Joey escape from the underground sewer, while on Diana, I cast a forbidden teleportation spell..." Hearing this, Joey''s eyes suddenly widened: "You mean, mother is still alive?!" "I don''t know either." Edward shook his head and said sadly: "The situation at that time was already desperate. I could only cast the spell in a hurry, so that I was not sure whether the teleportation spell was successful or not." "Later, I researched that the end coordinate of that forbidden spell is an extremely distant [secret realm]." "Perhaps, that is a distant place that we will never be able to reach in our lifetime." Joey''s bright eyes dimmed slightly, but she still said seriously. "Mother must still be alive!" "No matter where that [secret realm] is, as long as you live, you will see us again one day!" Edward touched the top of his daughter''s head and murmured: "Maybe one day..." Soon, Edward continued the topic: "In the end, I was caught by my colleagues from the [Truth Society]." "Because of the special nature of my soul, they did not kill me, but punished and reformed me." "The memories of Diana and Joey were deleted from my mind, and many cold and dangerous experiences were added." "That''s where [The Undertaker''s] personality comes from." Edward''s words were light and airy, but Shane suddenly felt heavy. "Punishment and reform" were just two words in his mouth, but thinking about the methods of the [Truth Society], it is not difficult to imagine what a tragic experience it would be. "But memory is something that always leaves some traces whenever you walk through it." "I took advantage of this and set up such a backup personality in my mind. It will only be activated when I meet Joey and Diana." At this time, Xia En thought of Edward''s words that "time is running out", and his expression changed slightly. "Since it is a backup personality, of course it cannot be maintained for too long." "Moreover, as time goes by, maybe my body will sense it and even discover Joey''s existence. That is definitely not a good thing." "So, I also added a self-destruct program to this personality slice." Seeing the changes in Shane and Joey''s expressions, Edward smiled indifferently. "I would have died with no regrets just to see Joey safe and sound." As he said that, Edward looked at Xia En, with satisfaction in his eyes: "Besides, I also saw the man my daughter chose." "I have seen everything you did in the crack space before." "Be decisive and brave, be responsible and responsible, and at the same time have good intentions and have your own principles and bottom line." "Xia En, you are very good and excellent. I feel relieved to leave Joey to you." (End of chapter) Chapter 291 Conquer the [Diamond Star]! Ghost ship in reflection! Chapter 291: Conquer the [Diamond Star]! Ghost ship in reflection! After hearing what Edward said, Shane wanted to say that he had misunderstood and that he was just Joey''s captain. But then I thought about it, had Edward really misunderstood? With a certain determination silently made in his heart, Xia En said seriously to Edward: "I will do it." After receiving the affirmative answer, Edward showed a satisfied smile. Joey on the side blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Xia En again. But at this time, Xia En still had many doubts in his heart. Now, there happened to be someone who could answer these questions, so he simply asked again. "What is going on here? And why did [Diamond Star] turn into a ghost ship?" Edward explained: "This space is located between reality and the [Secret Sea], and between reality and illusion." "Its formation is a rare coincidence." "Back then, this group of civilians who were bewitched without knowing it, at the cost of their own lives, summoned the gaze of the Lord of the Hundreds of Lights." "And it just so happens that the [Diamond Star] is in this weird fog." "Two different secret powers collided with each other, causing indescribable changes." "In addition, the ship spirit of the [Diamond Star] has been initially born. Its strong unwillingness turned into obsession, and finally gradually evolved into this strange space." Only when obsession is eliminated can it truly escape the prison of the past. As he spoke, Edward gently stroked the wall of the cabin and said regretfully: "It really should be unwilling to give up." A ship that was supposed to be the Novas Ark of salvation in the Great Flood not only consumed a lot of precious materials, but also condensed the crystallization of the wisdom of this era. "In the end, it was not because of the disasters sent by heaven, nor because of the gods'' plans." "It was just due to the conspiracy of a group of bewitched people that it sank so easilyeven before the great flood came." "How can it be willing to do so?" Hearing this, Xia En nodded unconsciously. The [Diamond Star] is like an army that has been recuperating and gaining popularity for many years. However, it died before it even set foot on the battlefield. Or die from the conflicts and disputes within human beings. It is not difficult to understand why [Diamond Star] would have such a strong obsession. At the same time, Shane also noticed an important point from Edward''s words. "Mist?" "Is there anything else special about this foggy sea area?" In the past, Xia En only regarded the [Misty Sea Area] as a mysterious place formed by the special geographical environment of the Seven Seas. But according to Edward, it is somewhat unexpected that these mists can actually react with the power of the Lord of Billions of Glory. "Looking at your performance, this shouldn''t be your first time in the [Misty Sea], right?" Edward asked: "In the later [Misty Sea], have you ever seen that kind of monster made of fog?" Shane thought and shook his head: "No." He didn''t notice this small detail at first, thinking that the "fog monster" rushing out of the fog was just a random event. But now that I thought about it, I suddenly realized it was weird. "That''s the damage from that explosion." Edward said seriously: "Deep in this fog, there is actually a secret hidden that can shake the whole world." "But my memory about this secret seems to have been deleted by the [Truth Society], so I can''t tell you." "The secret that shakes the whole world..." Xia En was secretly speechless, feeling that as his strength grew, he came into contact with more and more secrets. Suddenly, Xia En remembered something again and asked. "To be honest, I came to the [Misty Sea] this time to look for the [Diamond Star] because I once obtained a ship very similar to it in the [Cold Sea]." "It''s just like...a replica of the [Diamond Star]. What''s going on?" Hearing this, Edward also frowned: "A replica of [Diamond Star]?" "Is that ship similar to the projection in [Secret Sea]?" Shane: "Yes! I think so too." "If I''m not wrong, that''s probably the remedial measures King Xin took after the [Diamond Star] sank." "It may also be the back-up plan that King Xin has prepared a long time ago." Edward''s tone was uncertain for the first time. "After all, with that king''s skills and character, how could he let the [Diamond Star] sink so easily?" "There is even a possibility that the real [Diamond Star] is just a bait released by King Xin." "What he really has high hopes for is the [Diamond Star] that was copied through the [Secret Sea]." Edward''s conjecture obviously has some conspiracy theory implications. But after Xia En thought about it carefully, he couldn''t rule out this possibility. Yan Yan may be a sunny and kind-hearted boy, but as a Xin Wang who has been tempered by blood and fire, he will never be a soft-hearted person. After being crowned as king, there are many things that cannot be controlled by oneself. Xia En sighed softly in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he asked a question. "Hui Jiao, what role did you play in the [Diamond Star] incident?" The reason why he didn''t ask this question before was mainly because he had a good impression of the Hui Cult believers in [The Land of Glory]. It seems that not all Hui Cult believers are fanatical believers who want to allow foreign gods to invade. But seeing the behavior of the masked old man, Xia En inevitably had some strange emotions. "Don''t worry, things are not what you think." Edward said softly: "In the old days, the Hui Sect was indeed a good orthodox religion. It was known as a bright and holy religion, and acted in an upright and upright manner. Only in this way can it be respected by many kingdoms." "Of course, after a sect expands, there will definitely be some scum and scum." "But overall, Huijiao has done a good job." Xia En raised his eyebrows and said frankly: "What I''m worried about is actually the Lord of the Billions of Lights that Hui Sect believes in." At this time, Edward asked Shane a question. "Do you think the Lord of Billions of Glory is an evil **** or a good god?" Shane thought for a moment and replied, "I don''t know." Judging from the reputation of Huijiao in the old days, they have indeed done a lot of good things, maintained social order, and provided material assistance and spiritual sustenance to the poor. But the Lord of Billions of Glory is also an out-and-out alien god. Perhaps His gift has already been marked with a price on its back. "In my opinion," Edward continued, "the gods are neither good nor evil." "In other words, they have no such concept and consciousness at all." "For example, the local gods born in our world are themselves sublimated from intelligent races, and they may still retain a few likes and dislikes of their own." "But how can those outer gods far away in the [Secret Sea], or the ancient gods sleeping in the deep sea, care about what humans think?" Edward said earnestly: "Many times, it is not the gods who need human faith, but the human beings who need gods to believe in." After hearing these words, Xia En''s thoughts fluctuated, silently chewing and digesting the information in his words. Shane doesn''t entirely agree with this view, but there are always points of truth in different viewpoints. Finally, Edward concluded the incident. "The old man in the mask did not receive any instructions from the gods, but only did such a thing out of his own obsession." "In his eyes, the gods may be just a tool to obtain power." "If you blindly pursue the gods, you will only become a slave of the gods in the end. The same is true for pursuing the truth." At this point, Edward''s expression suddenly darkened. "Actually, many years ago, the [Truth Society] was not what it is now..." Drip-Drip- [The self-destruct program is starting...] At this moment, the strange mechanical sound sounded from Edward''s body again. His eyes once again lit up with a faint red light. "Father" Seeing this scene, Joey couldn''t help but call out in a low voice, but her expression was strong and she pursed her lips to prevent tears from falling. Edward gently stroked his daughter''s silver and smooth hair and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you." "[The Truth Society] has been preparing two big plans over the years." "A plan is related to Diana and Joey. The purpose is probably to steal the authority of the gods." "I have personally participated in this plan, so I know some inside information." Xia En looked solemn. Just as he suspected, the research on Joey was indeed related to the Storm Goddess! What made him even more curious was the other of the two plans. A plan that is on par with "stealing the power of gods" is not simple no matter how you think about it. Unfortunately, Edward continued: "As for the other plan, I only remember sporadic fragments, which should be closely related to my other personalities." "The reason why this personality slice of mine stays in this space seems to be to collect certain information for this plan." After saying these words, Edward''s body faded into a translucent shape at a speed visible to the naked eye. Until then, he did not forget to warn. "Finally, remember to be careful about my body." "His memory has been thoroughly cleaned, and he is a completely different individual from me!" "Joy, please live well..." Before he finished speaking, the translucent body collapsed completely and disappeared into the air. Tears welled up in Joey''s eyes. The next moment. Cracks suddenly appeared in the scene around Xia En and the two of them. Immediately afterwards, the cracks continued to expand and spread, like a huge mirror that suddenly shattered! Click! Shane''s consciousness sank into darkness. Darkness like this didn''t feel strange to him at all, let alone the slightest fear. Compared with the emptiness and darkness that was so easy to get lost in during the fifth-level promotion ritual, this gentle darkness even made Xia En feel at ease. Soon, in the darkness, Shane heard a cry that could not be described in words. It is not a language, but more like a catharsis and expression of emotions. The conveying of this emotion reminded Xia En of the time when the spirit of the ship [Black Swan] had just sprouted. At that time, Xiao Hei always liked to use this method to express his love and closeness clumsily and bluntly. Xia En gathered his thoughts and slowly approached the direction where his emotions came from. Soon, he sensed a confused and hazy consciousness, and felt the emotions released by the other party - Unwillingness to fail to fulfill one''s mission; Resentment against the incompetence of the captain and crew; fear of one''s own destruction; Confused about people weaving conspiracies Many negative emotions were like a big net trapping the still immature ship soul in the darkness. It''s like an extremely strong "wall of the heart." Not only to protect yourself, but also to isolate all good intentions. Only then did Xia En understand why it was extremely difficult for Xiao Hei to communicate with the [Diamond Star], and why he would say that the ship''s spirit was not aloof, but just shy. If we say, Xiao Hei looks like a lively and energetic girl with wheat-colored skin. Being favored by Xia En, she is always full of energy and energy. Then, the ship spirit of the [Diamond Star] is like the so-called "Landmine Girl." He has a closed heart, dark behavior, and a ghostly appearance, and he will jump into its minefield if he is not careful. But Shane knew it wasn''t its fault. This is the fault of those with evil intentions. The Diamond Star is innocent. Thinking of this, Xia En moved closer and directly opened his arms to embrace the ship soul consciousness in front of him. He solemnly promised: "I will protect you and prevent what happened back then from happening again." "You will never be destroyed until I die." "I will take you to complete the unfinished mission." "When the flood comes again, you will become a veritable Noah''s Ark..." The confused ship soul trembled violently. Immediately, the invisible "wall of the heart" collapsed. Under the huge waves and the howling wind. Standing on the deck of the Diamond Star, Shane opened his eyes. At this moment, two extremely similar huge ships have merged into one, irrespective of each other. It''s like the union of body and shadow, and like the confused soul finally returning to its home. call- The huge sails of the [Diamond Star] flapped, and the sails were condensed with roaring illusions and layers of flames, hunting in the strong wind. It was as if he was making his first cry after sleeping for many years! From this moment on, the [Diamond Star] regains its own ship soul! Immediately, something happened that Xia En could not believe. The world in front of me suddenly changed. The sky became gloomy, with strange shadow-like masses floating in the sky. There was no wind around, but there was a cold flow on the skin. From time to time, weird turbulence traces can be seen nearby, like bubbles. Xia En lowered his head and looked down. What he saw reflected in the distorted mirror-like water below was not the appearance of the Diamond Star, but a ship that he was extremely familiar with Black Swan! And at this time, the [Black Swan] is riding the wind and waves forward. In an instant, Xia En understood everything. [Diamond Star] entered the reflection of [Black Swan]!

Xia En could feel very clearly that a huge secret power was pouring into his body, constantly transforming his limbs and bones, filling every strand of flesh and blood. It''s exactly the effect of [Captain''s Majesty]. As the status of the [Diamond Star] changed from "incomplete" to "complete", the attributes of this large ship once again underwent earth-shaking changes. Before this, although the various numerical values ????of the [Diamond Star] were also very powerful, they were still far behind the "Noah''s Ark" that Shane expected. It was not until this time that the two ships merged into one, and after making up for the crucial flaws, they achieved a completely new transformation. Under [Captain''s Majesty]''s feedback, Xia En''s overall quality soared directly from 12 to 17! You know, the fifth-level promotion ritual only brought him an improvement from 9.5 to 12. -Although that is because the fifth-level ritual focuses more on the mastery of secret power and the tempering of spiritual will, it is enough to show that the transformation of [Diamond Star] is exaggerated. This really gave Xia En a big surprise. "call" Xia En took a deep breath and used his powerful mental power to control the secret power in his body to calm down. At the same time, his whole body was shaking at a strange frequency - this was a special physical training method that could help Shane quickly adapt to his stronger body. It is only with his current mental strength and meticulous control that he can do this. While digesting this power, Xia En''s eyes fell on the two newly unlocked characteristics of [Diamond Star]. [Ghost Ship] This feature needs no further explanation, just one word - powerful! Pure power! Shane had seen the ghost fire around the Diamond Star before and thought it was some kind of illusion or flashy special effects. But now it seems that the flame contains some unique secret power, and the reason for its formation is also extremely unique. The flame is generated by the reaction of the three secret powers of the Lord of Radiance, Mist, and [Secret Sea]. No wonder it has so many strange effects. Moreover, there is another feature of [Ghost Ship] that makes Xia En particularly satisfied. Cool! Just imagine, when other ships besieged the Black Swan, suddenly a ghost ship with will-o''-the-wisps came menacingly, scaring the courage of many people. The ridiculous idea that Shane once fantasized about "driving a ghost ship on the sea" seems to have come true now? However, after seeing the description of the feature [Mirror Reflection], Xia En couldn''t help but have a strange expression. What does it mean not to show one''s face on the sea? [Diamond Star] actually has such a little temper? Just thinking about it seriously, Xia En felt a little excusable. Due to the legend of the "Diamond Star" ghost ship, its past deeds have not been forgotten by ships on the Seven Seas, but are often mentioned on their own initiative. To sailors and captains at sea, it is just casual conversation. But for the [Diamond Star], it was a series of **** scars. It doesn''t want to show up at sea, probably because it doesn''t want others to point fingers at it, so it chooses to hide in the reflection of the [Black Swan]. Thinking of this, [Diamond Star] made Xia En feel more like a landmine girl with a gloomy personality. "The ship spirits of different ships indeed have different personalities..." Shane grinned and gently touched the mast next to him. But whether it''s the Vitality Girl or the Mine Girl, they are all his ships, and Xia En likes them all. While stroking the mast, Xia En used his talent of "Communicating Ship Souls" and whispered to the "Diamond Star". "Now, you are mine." "It''s a pleasure to be with you on the rest of the journey." Um. After a slightly long wait, Xia En heard a response from the ship spirit of the Diamond Star. And, even so, its consciousness is only fleeting, and it hides immediately after responding. Xia En felt like a little black cat with fried fur, hiding in the corner and watching him warily. So strong on guard... Xia En''s mood became increasingly weird, but when he thought about what happened to the Diamond Star, he felt a little pity in his heart. Moreover, at the moment when his consciousness touched it, Xia En also sensed a hint of closeness hidden deep under its guarded appearance. So, Xia En simply said nonchalantly. "We will be close partners from now on. There is no need to be so polite, and there is no need to be afraid of me." "Am I still going to hurt you?" "By the way, the name [Diamond Star] is too hard to pronounce. How about calling you...Little Diamond? Little Stone? Little Diamond?" When the [Diamond Star], who had been silent before, heard this, he finally couldn''t hold it in any longer and whispered in a very low voice. [Good... unpleasant...] Change The way it expresses chill is still clumsy, not as natural and smooth as [Black Swan]. Xia En''s mouth curled up, and he guessed that [Diamond Star] would react, and then said the nickname he had already thought of. "Xiaoxing! What a great name!" "Our future journey is the sea of ??stars!" [Diamond Star] obviously feels that this name is not very good, but it is better than those messy names, so I can only accept it with a little regret. After that, Xiaoxing''s consciousness hid again, no matter what Xia En said, he would not respond. Xia En was not in a hurry about this either. If you want to deepen the relationship and change Xiaoxing''s character, of course it won''t happen in a day or two. Fortunately, they will have a lot of time together in the future. Soon, with a thought, Xia En broke away from the [Diamond Star] hidden in the reflection and returned to the deck of the [Black Swan]. Of course Joey was standing beside him unharmed. "Captain Shane!" "Captain, what happened just now?" As soon as the two appeared on the deck, Feiya and Tracy immediately gathered around them, their faces full of concern. An Ye, who was wearing heavy armor, took a step forward, and Xia En seemed to be able to see the worry in his eyes through the armor. Even Vivian, who had always been as lazy as a salted fish, floated out and blinked curiously. No wonder the crew was so worried. The scene that just happened was really too thrilling. The two [Diamond Star] charges without reservation, the ghostly will-o''-the-wisps rising into the sky, the turbulent waves rising on the sea... Seeing that heroic scene, even if the crew members had confidence in Shane, they could not help but doubt that he would be shattered to pieces in such a collision. What happened next surprised them even more. Two large ships with similar appearance and different temperaments actually merged into one after the collision. Shane and Joey also disappeared. If Feiya hadn''t calmly persuaded the others, the crew might have boarded the ghost ship. Fortunately, at this time, the captain appeared intact again. Moreover, according to Feiya''s keen perception, Mr. Captain''s aura seems to have become much stronger? Instead, the huge [Diamond Star] suddenly disappeared? All I can say is that he truly deserves to be Captain Shane! Fei Ya sighed in her heart. He has not forgotten the first time he met Shane in the bar. At that time, he had not yet overcome the hidden dangers of his bloodline, and was forced to drink alcohol to relieve his desire to drink blood. The two of them were not acquainted. But at that time, Fei Ya was still slightly stronger than Xia En. But now, his rank is still at the third level, but Captain Xia En is already a fifth-level powerhouse, and most likely not an ordinary fifth level! This can''t be blamed on Feiya. According to the standards of ordinary mystics, he has been promoted very quickly. But the sublimated bloodline of the Vampire Clan is, after all, the bloodline of the immortal species, and the improvement of strength depends on the accumulation of time. Another point is... Shane''s promotion is so fast! It is simply the kind that has never been seen before or since. There is probably no other one in the entire Qihai Sea. Fei Ya would be lying if he said he had no regrets in his heart, but his mentality was very peaceful. On the one hand, Feiya, as a steam mechanic and a priest, didn''t like fighting. Dealing with the steam equipment on the ship every day made him feel very fulfilled. On the other hand, he still has a long lifespan, and maybe one day in the future, he will be able to have a fun spar with Captain Shane again. Xia En didn''t know what Fei Ya was thinking, so he just said to everyone: "I''m fine." "But how long has it been since we boarded the Diamond Star?" Fei Ya replied: "It should be less than five minutes." Xia En sighed secretly: "It''s not even five minutes..." His experience in the obsession space just now felt extremely long, but in reality the time was very short. No wonder all the pirates who boarded the ghost ship disappeared. I''m afraid they don''t know how many times they have experienced "resets" in the obsession space, and finally got completely lost in it. Honestly. This boarding was an extremely dangerous one among Xia En''s many adventures. If Joey hadn''t happened to be by his side, he might have really fallen for the Undertaker. It can only be said that Xia En''s luck is pretty good. Fortunately, the rewards of this adventure are also very rich. Not only was the overall quality improved, but more importantly, a conversation with Edward allowed Xia En to understand some secrets in the past and even the inside story of the [Truth Society]. The unknown is the scariest thing. Now, the mysterious veil of the [Truth Society] has finally been lifted by Xia En. and Shane turned his head and glanced at Joey beside him. The silver-haired girl''s eyes were slightly red, but her mood had stabilized, and she felt a sense of relief. Obviously, meeting Edward allowed Joy to untie some of her past knots and also gave her a longer-term goal. This is undoubtedly a great thing. "Mr. Captain?" Joey first looked at Xia En doubtfully, and then suddenly smiled slyly, as bright and moving as a flower blooming. "My father said that he would feel relieved to leave me to Mr. Captain..." Xia En couldn''t help but blush, and he didn''t know what to say. However, Joey didn''t embarrass Shane and asked quickly. "Mr. Captain, where are we going next?" Shane looked into the depths of the fog. Everything you see is a vast white mist, as if the whole world has disappeared on the other side of the fog, and you can''t see any further places. Although he learned from Edward that there was a big secret in this [Misty Sea] that could shake the world. But the top priority now is still the coming world-destroying flood. If the world is submerged, no matter how great the secret is, it will be meaningless. Xia En had no choice but to temporarily suppress the idea of ??continuing to explore and said, "Let''s go!" "Target...[Liu Li Island]!" Five days later. Near the sea area where [Liuli Island] is located. Five large ships quietly sailed out of the port and gathered in an area dozens of nautical miles away from [Liu Li Island]. The ships have different flags and different clan emblems. The same thing is that their colors are often red and black. Among the crew members on the deck, there are often a few pale and handsome people. If anyone with sensitive senses stayed near these ships, they would probably be able to smell an extremely strong smell of blood. Wow! Accompanied by the sound of splashing water. The body of a young girl who had just lost her life was thrown into the sea by an expressionless sailor. Strangely, no blood seeped out after the body entered the water. The girl''s skin looked even more pale and dry in the waves. In less than a moment, the body tied with heavy objects sank into the sea. "Hey, this carcass of blood has been sucked so cleanly, I''m afraid even ordinary alienated sea beasts won''t be willing to eat it, right?" Another sailor smiled and complained to the companion who dumped the body: "This little girl is quite beautiful. It would be nice if you let me feel good first." The expressionless companion said coldly: "Captain Simon only absorbs the blood of virgins." "What a choice!" The sailor complained: "We can''t even drink the blood of ordinary people if we want to!" "But speaking of which, what exactly does Captain Simon want to do when he goes to sea this time?" (End of chapter) Chapter 293 Bloody hunt! The shock of [River of Blood] Chapter 293 Bloody Hunt! The shock of [River of Blood] "have no idea." The expressionless Sailor Gamba looked like a hard and smelly stone, and said with a straight face. "Ask Captain Simon if you have the ability." Hearing this, Milot, the frivolous sailor, was not angry. He just grinned and said, "How can I have the courage?" "But it seems that we are not the only ship leaving the port this time." "[Bloodfang] [Dark Baron] [Black Rose] [Whale] plus our ship [Wincheston]..." "Five large ships, comparable to the third-class federal battleships, left the port almost at the same time. This matter is not simple no matter how you look at it!" Milot clapped his fingers and said nonchalantly: "This driving is simply comparable to the **** hunt a few years ago." "However, there is no ship near [Liu Li Island] these days. Is it worth Captain Simon and the others'' trouble?" At this time, a name suddenly popped out of the taciturn Gangba''s mouth. "[Black Swan]." Hearing the name, Milot was stunned, and then fell into a long silence. This is not only because of the reputation this ship has gained on the sea, but also because the two of them have a deep connection with the [Black Swan]. In fact, they were once crew members of the Black Swan. However, when the old captain passed away, the two of them left the [Black Swan], and then wandered all the way, hanging out on many ships, and escaping from death several times. I have encountered brutal naval battles and seen terrifying ocean beasts. Finally, the two of them wandered to [Liu Li Island], and were taken under the command of the captain of the [Winchester] and transformed into low-level vampires. This experience can be called magnificent for little people like them. The two of them thought that they would never hear news about the [Black Swan] in their lifetime. But who would have thought that the rumors related to the [Black Swan] have never stopped! First, the famous [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was destroyed because of the destruction of the [Black Swan], and many islands launched a wanted search for the [Black Swan]. Then the originally majestic "Blood Duke" was sunk by the "Black Swan", and the bounty on it soared again. Originally, the Black Swan disappeared for a period of time after this, which made the two of them feel that the ship''s adventure was finally over. But they never expected... Not long after, there were rumors that the [Black Swan] appeared in the [Sea of ??Annihilation] and uprooted the entire [City of Giant Trees]! Such a remarkable achievement, not to mention the small [Black Swan] in their minds, even the [Wincheston] under their feet could not achieve it. A few days ago, Gamba heard that the [Black Swan] was speeding towards [Liu Li Island]. Only then did he connect the strange movements of the vampire ship with it. "You mean... these five large ships went to sea to deal with the [Black Swan]?" Milot''s eyes widened, still in disbelief. "This, this is not serious, is it? How much hatred is this?" "The wanted notice has been issued for such a long time, how can it still make the vampire hold such a grudge?" "Why? Just because of the destruction of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]?" After such a long time of wandering, Milot is no longer the sailor who used to hang out in a small place like [Duke Island]. After going out so far, not to mention how much his strength has increased, at least his vision is naturally different from what it used to be. Therefore, Milot clearly understood That [Blood Moon Secret Realm] is a rare existence around [Duke Island]. But in the central sea area like [Liu Li Island], it is not ranked at all, and it is meaningless to the high-level vampires. Otherwise, the original bounty for the wanted [Black Swan] would have soared to tens of thousands of gold dragon coins. Milot really couldn''t understand why the vampires were so obsessed with the [Black Swan]. At this time, Gamba said in a deep voice: "Last time, I heard Captain Simon say that they felt the vibration of the [River of Blood] some time ago." "It seems that the resurgence of a certain bloodline has touched the [River of Blood]." "hiss" Milot took a breath. [River of Blood] is what the Vampires call the source of their secret power. It is said that the [River of Blood] is located somewhere in the [Secret Sea]. It is extremely ancient and mysterious. The world usually only knows that the oldest and earliest vampire, the Scarlet Lord, was born from the original Crimson Mother Tree. But very few people know that the [Crimson Mother Tree] is just a drop of blood in the [River of Blood]! Low-level vampires like Milot and Gamba, not to mention personally sensing the "River of Blood", even the legends about it can only be learned from the mouths of others. Milot murmured: "What kind of bloodline can touch the [River of Blood]?" "etc" Thinking of this, Milot suddenly came back to his senses and grasped the previous blind spot. "You mean, the vampire on the [Black Swan] who betrayed [Silver Moon Island] was the initiator of the [River of Blood]?" "And he is the target of our **** hunt?" Gamba nodded: "If I guess correctly, it should be like this." "My dear, that''s really amazing." Milot sighed with emotion, and then sighed a little dullly. "However, these things have nothing to do with us." "With the strength of both of us, we can only be spectators at best. If we are not careful, we will lose our lives." Of course, he felt a little bit sad and regretful. If he had chosen to stay on the Black Swan, he might have had a place on that famous ship now. There would be no need to fight like today. But there is no regret medicine in life, you have to live life, right? Just then. Gamba suddenly raised his head and looked in a direction on the sea. "Coming!" clang! clang! clang! Following the rapid warning bell, a huge, dark ship had sailed out of the mist on the sea and burst into the sight of the crew of the Wincheston. Milot was stunned. The ship that appeared on the sea, except for the black swan carved on the bow, was completely different from the [Black Swan] in his impression. Huge, solid, majestic...like an iceberg crashing from the sea, like a rampaging deep-sea beast. The pitch-black hull was made of an unknown material. It looked solid and cold, and gave people an inexplicable ominous feeling. It''s as if if you stare at it for too long, your soul will be sucked away. The patterns carved on the hull vaguely echo the surrounding sea. It flickers on and off, like breathing. It is also inexplicably reminiscent of the night sky full of stars. And under the sea where the Black Swan is located, there seems to be a bigger shadow hidden. The ripples it stirred up as it drove slowly spread around with a twisted and weird texture. Those artillery pieces, the magic pattern heavy cannon standing in the center of the bow... Just looking at the black muzzle, there is an instinctive sense of crisis, as if being stared at by a wild beast. And, its incredible. Although it has such a large body, the speed of [Black Swan] is still incredibly fast, like an arrow leaving the string! It is hard to imagine what kind of power system can drive this big ship to ride the wind and waves at such speed. Just a few breaths. Milot and Gamba could vaguely see the scene on the deck. He saw a handsome man with a back like a sword, holding the steering wheel in his hand, standing on the ship like a rock in the storm, looking at him with an indifferent gaze. Watching everyone on board the [Wincheston]. "Is that...the current [Black Swan]?" Milot felt that his throat was extremely dry and he could hardly speak. Even though he had overestimated the transformation of the [Black Swan] as much as possible, the sight that burst into his eyes still gave him a strong impact. However, Milot realized clearly that it was the [Black Swan] that he had been with for a short time, not another ship with the same name. Maybe it''s because... the soul of that ship has never changed? However, no one cared about what Milot was thinking at this time. Just like what he said before, the two of them were just dispensable minions in such a naval battle, and they might become cannon fodder with just one shelling. The person who really decided the fate of this ship [Wincheston] was Captain Simon standing on the deck. Hanging from his waist was a sailor''s scimitar and a flint-haired magic-patterned musket, and his whole body was filled with the cold **** aura. Simon''s complexion was far paler than that of ordinary people, and the bright red at the corner of his mouth was the trace left by the blood meal of the virgin girl just now. Seeing the [Black Swan] approaching like this, Simon did not immediately order an attack, but glanced at the first officer beside him. The first mate understood immediately, took out a loudspeaker mechanical device, and shouted to the [Black Swan]. "Captain of [Black Swan], we are not here with any hostility." "In fact, maybe we can even become staunch allies!" [Black Swan] On the deck. Upon hearing such a call, Xia En raised his eyebrows with a strange expression. To be honest, he didn''t know what these vampire ships wanted to do. A few days ago, under the guidance of the [Diamond Star], Xia En successfully drove the [Black Swan] and left the [Misty Sea]. As a result, not long after leaving the fog, they bumped into a ship with obvious blood clan style. Xia En thought they were here to hunt him down, but now it seems that the vampires'' actions have other purposes? Only the amplified voice continued to be heard from the [Wincheston]. "Pastor of the Church of Steam, Feia Potugal!" Hearing her name, Fei Ya raised her head suddenly. However, what the other party said next surprised him even more. "You are crucial to the revival of our vampire family!" "As long as you are willing to return to our embrace, you will directly become a first-class race and enjoy the treatment of a blood prince!" "Similarly, the grievances between us and [Black Swan] will be wiped out. We will also cancel the wanted order for [Black Swan], and even provide you with unconditional help!" "Captain of the [Black Swan], what do you think of this deal?" After hearing these words, Xia En frowned. Even he didn''t expect that the vampire would suddenly make such a request. Although Xia En had known for a long time that Fei Ya also had a special bloodline, he didn''t know that his bloodline would be so special! First class race! Blood Prince! This kind of treatment may not even be available to Twilight, who was originally called [Burning Gold Blood]. The other party''s last words seemed to be a sign of goodwill to him, the captain, but in fact, they were a naked threat! If they do not agree to their conditions and hand over Feiya, the magnificent ship in front of them will undoubtedly launch an attack immediately. If there was only this one ship, of course Xia En would not have any worries and just crush it. However, in Shane''s peripheral vision. Another ship whose size is not inferior to this ship is already like a shark, following the [Black Swan], and may launch a fatal attack at any time. Moreover, further away, enemy ships also appeared. Xia En is not afraid of just a naval battle. But on those ships, he also clearly noticed the auras of several people who were not weaker than himself. There was also a breath, which made Xia En secretly frightened just by sensing it. I dont know whether it is the sixth level or the seventh level. Obviously, for this operation, the vampires dispatched real elites and strong men! Once they board the ship, the situation will change dramatically. In large-scale naval battles, high-level mystics often play the decisive role and must be guarded against. However, Xia En is more concerned about Fei Ya''s thoughts than these obstacles. Although he once said that even if the crew members wanted to leave, he would break their legs and tie them up and he would leave them behind. But when it comes to this, Mr. Xia En still wants to respect the thoughts of every crew member. If Fei Ya decided that he could achieve better development in the vampire clan, he wouldn''t mind letting her go. Xia En turned his head and looked at the boy who was more beautiful than the girl. Without words, just looking at each other, Xia En understood Fei Ya''s decision. What Feiya was hesitating about was not whether to enjoy the treatment of a prince, but whether to sacrifice herself in exchange for the safety of the [Black Swan] and the captain. Xia En said calmly: "Fei Ya, I once told you that as long as you want to stay on my ship, no one can take you away!" "But, Captain Shane..." Fei Ya''s peripheral vision glanced around. The other four vampire warships, plus the [Wincheston] in front of them, are like a big net, surrounding the [Black Swan]. Xia En waved his hand: "Don''t pay attention to them." "I just ask you, do you want to stay on the [Black Swan]?" Fei Ya said resolutely: "I want to!" Shane held his hand and laughed. "It''s just a dilemma, let me take you out!" The next moment, the [Black Swan] suddenly made a sound that resounded across the sea! (End of chapter) Chapter 294 Monster from the deep sea! The Ghost Ship is here! Chapter 294 Monster from the deep sea! The Ghost Ship is here! The loud and long whistle broke the superficial calm. at the same time. The [Black Swan] began to speed up suddenly, and the steam steering wheel deep in the cabin made a drum-like "heartbeat" as it rushed towards the [Wincheston] ahead regardless of its own safety! Xia En knew very well that in this dangerous situation, if he wanted to escape, he had to tear apart the encirclement as quickly as possible and break out from one direction. Just like in a group fight, it will only be effective if you focus on one enemy and make him scared and miserable. Once the breakout is slower, you will be entangled by the enemy. When other ships from the other side arrive, the [Black Swan] will be like prey in a spider''s web. Getting deeper and deeper, with nowhere to escape! At this time, the [Wincheston] located in front of the [Black Swan] has undoubtedly become the best breakthrough target. In the end, just one sentence - When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins! Seeing the giant beast-like [Black Swan] rushing toward him, Simon''s originally calm expression suddenly darkened. "Extremely stupid!" He did not expect that the captain of the [Black Swan] would be stupid enough to give up such favorable conditions. Not only did he not hand over Fei Ya directly, but he chose to take the initiative to attack them. What made Simon even more annoyed was that the guy also regarded himself as the target of a breakout. "Ha...you dare to use me as a breakthrough point. Do you think I''m easy to bully?" "You guy, don''t look down on others!" After squeezing out angry words from between his teeth, Simon gave the order decisively. "Speed ??up! Speed ??up!" "Leave the boat to me!" Hearing this, the sailors, including Milot and Gamba, felt a little frightened. The speed of the [Black Swan] in front of us is really too fast, and it shows no sign of slowing down. If the [Wincheston] continues to accelerate, once it collides, it will definitely be earth-shattering. Even if the [Black Swan] is successfully stopped, the [Wincheston] will be extremely seriously damaged. However, Captain Simon''s account was not calculated in this way. In this collision, the [Wincheston] will certainly be damaged, but the [Black Swan] will never feel better. Moreover, as long as the speed of the [Black Swan] can be slowed down. The remaining four vampire ships can quickly arrive nearby, leaving the opponent with no possibility of escape. By then, those who have made great contributions will naturally receive compensation and rewards from their family. As for the lowly crew members on board as crew members? If one group dies, why not replace it with another group? Moreover, in Simon''s heart, there is another ambition that has not been mentioned to outsiders - The steam mechanic named "Fei Ya" has the ancient bloodline that can be touched by the "River of Blood", but at the same time, he has shown resistance to returning to the family. So, it should be okay to taste his blood yourself, right? Thinking of this, Simon''s eyes flashed with greed. For vampires, the more noble the bloodline, the greater the improvement in strength after absorbing it. Maybe he can use Feiya''s blood to complete the transformation of his bloodline? Suppressing the desire in his heart, Simon ordered the crew members with a cold face. "Why are you still standing there? Stop him!" Naturally, the crew did not dare to disobey his order, so they had no choice but to steer the Wincheston forward. As the distance between the two ships shortened rapidly, Milot and others could see the appearance of the [Black Swan] more clearly. The steep side of the ship, the towering mast, the thick and brutal collision angle...and the indomitable momentum! It''s as if... no matter what obstacles stand in front of it, they will only be crushed without any fancy. The strong wind came with the waves, and the huge shadow rolled over. "It''s about to hit! It''s about to hit!!" someone exclaimed. The sailors immediately ran to the nearest railing or handrail to avoid being thrown out of the ship at the moment of impact. However, the expected earth-shattering impact did not occur. Just when the two ships were about to collide, the [Black Swan] disappeared, disappearing in full view. Instead, there was a huge wave. It was like a whale diving into the sea. "This is?" Simon''s eyes widened in astonishment, looking at the rolling sea in disbelief. His senses are much sharper than those of ordinary crew members, so at that moment, he witnessed the truth of the "Black Swan" "disappearing"! It did not leave this place by means of some kind of space teleportation, but sank directly under the sea! That flexible and vigorous figure is simply like a giant beast living in the ocean, but it has just returned to the embrace of the sea. "Crazy! It''s crazy!" Simon was shocked and angry. He certainly didn''t think that [Black Swan] was seeking death by doing this. Obviously, that big ship has the ability to travel under the sea! It''s just that, not to mention ordinary crew members, even Simon has never seen this kind of thing in his many years of sailing. "[Black Swan]... sank into the sea?" "Can that ship travel in sea water?" Milot lowered his head and looked at the masts and chimneys gradually disappearing under the sea. He was extremely shocked. Is this really something a ship can do? Isn''t its captain afraid that the [Black Swan] will be submerged forever? At this moment, the other crew members were in a similar mood. But soon, Milot let out another shocked exclamation. "Look, what is that?" I saw the shadow under the sea expanding outward at an extremely fast speed, like some kind of fleshy mass that expanded and shrank. And at the edge of the shadow, a large number of dark things that are constantly changing and growing extend. It''s like there are thousands of arms squirming and waving in the ocean, stirring the surrounding water, making the waves become more and more turbulent. Seeing this scene, the sailors couldn''t help but feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. Some people even couldn''t help shouting. "monster!" "That ship...is a monster from the deep sea!" Under the sea, there are countless soft tentacles floating around the [Black Swan] that come from nowhere, squirming, entangled... and making murmurs and murmurs that ordinary people cannot seasonal. At this time, it no longer looks like a ship, but more like a descendant of Youshuo covered with tentacles! The tentacles of darkness that spread around the hull were none other than Xia Ens skill The profound touch! With the strength of the [Black Swan], it is certainly not afraid of a head-on collision with the [Wincheston]. However, in this kind of encirclement, a collision will undoubtedly greatly reduce the speed of the [Black Swan], and it may even be stopped by the opponent! That''s why Xia En chose this tactic that was simply impossible for other ships - Dive into the sea and launch an attack directly from the bottom of the [Wincheston] ship. Under Xia En''s control, many tentacles stirred wildly in the sea water, making the water flow in this sea area extremely chaotic. Enter the Wincheston. The hull rocked in the waves, and the steam core began roaring again. At this time, the helmsman has already felt the terrifying impact of those many tentacles one by one. The ship''s hull was swaying to one side, and he had to use all his strength to stabilize the ship in the irregular sea currents. What makes the helmsman even more desperate is. He noticed that countless dark tentacles were entangled on the rudder surface and bottom of the [Wincheston] on the seabed, and were about to drag the entire ship into the deep sea! The helmsman couldn''t help but murmured: "What exactly are we fighting against?" Fear comes from the unknown. The dark shadows under the sea surface and the soft limbs writhing wildly reminded the crew of the rumored deep-sea beasts, those indescribable things that should not be seen by humans. Crunch...crunch... Under the strong pull of the tentacles, the entire ship began to make disturbing sounds, as if it would fall apart at any time. Fortunately, the Mysterians on the ship took action one after another, using their own methods to stabilize the ship''s hull and fight against the huge shadow under the sea. "Hold on!" At this moment, Simon also showed his responsibility as a captain, looking around at everyone with fierce eyes and shouting loudly. "As long as you hold on for a little longer, the [Black Rose] will arrive soon!" After hearing this, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in the eyes of the sailors. The reason is simple. Dobham, the captain of the [Black Rose], is a genuine sixth-level mystic! As long as Dobam arrives, everything will be fine! In fact, there are many Secret Pathers on board the Wincheston, like Simon himself, who is a fifth-level powerhouse. But none of them dared to go directly to the sea to fight. Except for those Secret Pathers with strong blood of the sea clan, most Secret Pathers will have their combat power affected to a greater or lesser extent when fighting in sea water. Especially for some professions that need to cooperate with "verbal" spellcasting, their combat power will be reduced by more than 80% after going to sea. In fact, Simon and other Mystics made the right decision. If they really dare to go to the sea to fight, Xia En will actually tell these people what [Deep Sea Devourer] is! at this time. The [Black Rose], which is closest to the [Wincheston], is already approaching the location of the two ships at full speed. Seeing this, Simon and the crew around him couldn''t help but feel a flash of joy on their faces. Follow this trend. Before the tentacles under the sea pulled the Wincheston into the sea, the Black Rose had already arrived. However, the next moment. The sky suddenly turned black. There seems to be an invisible curtain rising from the sea, covering the sun, moon and stars in the sky. Darkness spread like a tide. Such darkness caused strong uneasiness in the hearts of the sailors on every ship. They couldn''t understand why the celestial phenomena in this sea area suddenly changed so much, and they couldn''t imagine that this would be the work of a mysterious person! Only those with a secret path of level five or above were vaguely aware of something. On the deck of the [Black Rose], the bearded Dobham frowned. "field?" "Such a large scope, such pure secret power..." His expression was unusually solemn, but soon, he noticed the essence of the aura and couldn''t help but feel relieved. "It''s a pity that you are only at level five." "If that''s the case, then go die!" But suddenly. In Dobam''s field of vision, an extremely huge ship burst out of thin air! This ship is so huge. Not to mention the [Wincheston] and [Black Swan], all the ships on the sea at this time, in front of this ship, are as small as a little boy who has not grown up. What shocked people the most was not its size, but the layer of blue flames burning on its surface! The blue fire illuminated the surrounding darkness, as if even the sea was ignited by it. It was not a physical flame, but it had more dangerous lethality than temperature. Just looking at it is terrifying and chilling. "Oh my God! What is that?" "Ghost ship? Is there really a ghost ship on the Seven Seas?" Exclamations sounded one after another. Suddenly someone remembered the rumors they had heard and said in disbelief: "[Diamond Star!]" "That''s the legendary [Diamond Star]!" "But shouldn''t that ship be in the [Misty Sea]? Why does it appear here?" No matter how shocked people are and how unacceptable they are. The operations of the [Diamond Star] did not stop. Accompanied by thrilling roars and sudden waves. This towering ship shadow of unknown origin is like a burning cliff, overwhelmingly crushing towards the [Black Rose]! "What the hell!" Dobam couldn''t help but curse. Even he found the appearance of this ship too incredible. Because before the [Diamond Star] appeared, Dobham didn''t see any sign of the ship approaching. If the [Diamond Star] had been discovered in advance, it would have been possible to avoid the collision. But at this distance... [Black Rose] has no choice but to fight head-on! Dobam took a deep breath, and his face suddenly became extremely flushed. Immediately, he stretched out his right hand and slapped forward with his palm. In an instant, a group of scarlet blood cells composed of blood quickly condensed, and the color became darker and darker visible to the naked eye until it turned into a heart-stopping black-red. Immediately afterwards, this ball of blood flew forward at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, blocking the path of the [Diamond Star]. boom! The moment the two collided, there was a terrifying roar and explosion. The blood light and the blue flame eroded each other, and there was a brief stalemate. But in the blink of an eye, the blue will-o''-the-wisp completely submerged the blood, rushing towards the hull of the Black Rose like a wave, spreading turbulently to everything on the deck. At the same time, the bow of the [Diamond Star] finally came into contact with the boat below. Click! The strong side of the [Black Rose] suddenly broke after just one collision. The cracks on the hull quickly spread outward and quickly connected together. In the end, the entire ship completely shattered under the overwhelming force and slowly sank into the sea. [Black Rose] has just fallen! (End of chapter) Chapter 295 Destroyed two ships in a row! Bloodline suppression! Chapter 295 Destroyed two ships in a row! Bloodline suppression! The defeat of the [Black Rose] was so fast that it simply exceeded everyone''s expectations. You know, this ship has always had a notorious reputation in the waters near [Liu Li Island]. The sail with the black rose pattern was once a nightmare for many small and medium-sized ships. The time when it was built and put into the sea can even be traced back to the time when the Federation just started to build [Liu Li Island] - it is older than the [Burning Gold] that Xia En met before. But at this time. This ancient and powerful ship fell apart in front of the [Diamond Star] after just one encounter! "This, how is this possible..." "The [Black Rose] was destroyed like this?" "What is that ghost ship..." On the remaining four vampire warships, people stared blankly at the sinking sea surface of the [Black Rose]. Under the bright blue fire, they could clearly see The wreckage of the [Black Rose] being submerged by the sea, the many sailors wailing for help, and... the blood rippling on the sea. On the contrary. It''s that ghost ship whose arrogance has not faded at all, but is getting stronger! In the earth-shattering impact just now, the [Diamond Star] was not unscathed. There were also a few tiny cracks on the towering side of the ship. But with the surge of blue flames, those cracks disappeared in the blink of an eye and healed as before. After ramming and sinking the [Black Rose], the [Diamond Star] did not stay where it was, but continued to move forward. Only a few flames remained on the messy sea. That calm and elegant temperament is like a sensitive big cat, completing a hunt that it is bound to win. It''s like a roaring train crushing a piece of garbage with a mantis'' arm as a train. The next moment. The blazing ghost ship disappeared suddenly, as if it had never appeared. However, no one would regard it as a phantom of nothingness. The tragedy of the [Black Rose] is the best example. "what happens?" "Where did that ghost ship go?" "Why does it suddenly appear and disappear?" People looked nervously at the location where the [Diamond Star] disappeared, worried that it would break into their field of vision again at any time. If the [Diamond Star] directly charged the ship, they might not be so nervous. However, [Diamond Star] temporarily hid. It''s like buying a landmine next to people that may explode at any time, keeping them in their throats and bringing an invisible sense of deterrence and oppression. No one knows who its next target will be. Defend, can''t defend. If you don''t take precautions, you are seeking death again. It was obvious that the ghost ship that descended in a terrifying manner had attracted the attention of most people present. And just in the darkness that people don''t notice. The [Winchesterton], which was entangled by many [Deep Touches], finally reached its limit. Crunch...crunch... The planks that made up the ship''s sides groaned under their weight. The [Wincheston] tried its best to squeeze out the last bit of power from the steam turbine to fight against the fate of death. However, everything is in vain. A series of filthy and weird tentacles stretched out from under the sea, and the sharp teeth on them grabbed the side of the [Wincheston] like a suction cup. Then, all the tentacles worked together! Wow! Huge waves rise into the sky! The entire "Wincheston" actually turned over on its side, completely losing its previous balance. "Ahhhhhhhh!" "Help!" Screams and screams rang out together. The sailors were unable to stop this from happening and could only be thrown into the sea under the huge force. Some unfortunate sailors were knocked unconscious by the debris on the ship. The lucky sailors remained awake, but they soon realized that being awake was not necessarily a good thing. Because at this moment, they lost the protection of the ship''s side and deck, and were in direct contact with those dark and sticky tentacles without any protection! The moment the tentacles touch the skin is enough to give people a creepy feeling. Not to mention, they began to wrap tightly around the sailors who fell into the water, and the edges filled with sharp teeth continued to tighten, as if they were holding a large hunting feast. It''s funny to say that. The Vampires always like to call their attacks on other ships "bloody hunting" and enjoy the humans on enemy ships as blood food. But now, they have become the prey of [The Deep Touch]! Screams, wails, the cracking of the hull... all kinds of sounds were mixed together. Those were the last convulsions and wails of the Wincheston. laugh! Dirty blood flew everywhere, and sticky flesh and blood fell to the floor. Simon used the scimitar on his waist to cut off a tentacle, with a ferocious expression on his face. As a fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder, Simon naturally would not die so easily. Even so, he looked very embarrassed. The thick and dirty blood squirmed and flowed on his body surface, and seemed to have tenacious activity, constantly seeping into the wounds, large and small. The scars left on his body by the sharp barbs on the surface of the tentacles. "Get out!" Simon groaned, and the dirty blood was squeezed out of his body. With the vampire''s talent, he could have easily done such a small thing, but at this time, Simon felt a sticky resistance. It was as if the remaining blood from these tentacles were greedily assimilating and devouring his secret power! "What the **** is this?" Simon shook the blood out of his body violently, and his face couldn''t help but look a little pale. But compared to the physical injuries, the sinking [Wincheston] beneath his feet made him feel even more heartbroken. Simon never expected that the [Black Swan] would suddenly sink into the sea, let alone that the other party would summon such weird tentacles. What''s more, I didn''t expect that the [Black Swan] was actually capable of overturning the [Wincheston] even though it was surrounded by a deep net! That was the ship he inherited from his ancestors! In terms of combat power, it can even be compared with the Federation''s third-level battleship! Although Simon expected that the [Winchester] would be injured, he never thought that it would be destroyed in this battle. His eyes were blood red, looking at the shadows in the sea that were quickly disappearing, and he said with hatred. "I will fight with you!" After saying that, the blood in Simon''s body condensed into a thin film, protecting him. He plunged directly into the sea water and chased in the direction where the [Black Swan] left. Simon''s actions may seem reckless, but they are not truly crazy. He knew very well that he wanted to recover the damage caused by the destruction of the [Wincheston]. The only way is to stop the [Black Swan] who wants to escape, and Feiya on that ship. Use Feiya''s bloodline to complete the transformation, or get enough compensation from the family! Otherwise, Simon, who lost his ship, would not be able to find this person in the Seven Seas, and there would be no possibility of his rise. After all, Simon is now like a gambler who loses his money. If he wants to make a comeback, he can only put all his chips on it! In fact. Simon is not the only one who dives into the sea and performs the "decapitation operation" on the Black Swan! Under the sea. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Xia En closed his eyes and noticed several auras of at least level five, rushing towards him quickly from the sea surface and the sea water. "What a generous act." Xia En sneered, but there was no fear on his face. His thoughts moved slightly, and a translucent panel appeared in front of him. "Submarine, start!" This time, the place Xia En chose to dive was not the [Secret Sea] or [The Furnace], but underneath the [Black Swan]! The next moment. A dark figure like a ghost appeared in the deep sea water. His appearance made the already dark water dim again, as if all the light was sucked away. And those [Deep Touch] wandering on the edge of the ship''s hull all humbly and respectfully prostrate themselves at the feet of this phantom, as if expressing their surrender. In fact, Xia En has thought about a problem a long time ago. What will happen when he is under the sea and uses the talent [Deep Sea Scuba Diving]? At this point, the answer is already ready to come out In the sea, his body and [projection body] will exist at the same time! If before the fifth level, even if Xia En knew this, it would not be of much use. Because with his mental strength at the time, he was unable to control two bodies at the same time with one consciousness. If you do this forcefully, you will only focus on one and lose the other, and neither side will be able to exert its full combat power. However, after Xia En passed the fifth-level promotion ritual, his mental power has made great progress. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has reached a new level. So at this time, Xia En can already roughly perform two tasks, controlling the main body and the [projection body] at the same time. The two bodies have many similar talents and skills, and are extremely close in nature. If they attack at the same time, they will definitely produce the effect of "one plus one is greater than two". In fact, this is also the reason why Xia En chose the battle location under the sea. Facing those fifth-level or even sixth-level vampire warriors, Xia En naturally couldn''t hold back at all! "Mr. Captain, here we come, three o''clock!" Joey stood at the entrance to the cabin and issued a warning. In this sea, the authority of [Storm Goddess] is everywhere, and Joey is able to clearly detect every enemy approaching the [Black Swan]. boom! ! What really started this underwater battle was not Xia En, but a loud muffled sound. The magic energy heavy artillery that had been accumulated since the encounter with the "Wincheston" finally poured out happily. The thick purple beam of light, intertwined with the black and white secret power, shot straight towards the secret traveler coming from the three o''clock direction. What a coincidence. This man is none other than Captain Simon, whose eyes are red and looks crazy! "Fuck!" Seeing the light roaring in front of him, Simon, who was so fierce just a second ago, couldn''t help but cursed in his heart. Most of the blood in his body boiled instantly and turned into a blood-colored curtain, forming a pocket shape to receive the bombardment of the magic energy heavy artillery. If he were on land, Simon would certainly not be stupid enough to receive the beam head-on. But the surrounding sea water slightly hindered his movement. Although this resistance is not obvious, in a battle of this level, even a trace of slowness may be fatal! Because he was moving a beat slower, Simon couldn''t dodge and could only fight head-on. The muffled sound sounded again, and Simon''s body flew out upside down. There was a blood hole penetrating through his abdomen. The violent secret power is still roaming and raging in the wound, hindering the regeneration of flesh and blood. For a fifth-level Vampire, such damage is not fatal, but it is enough to make Simon lose his fighting ability in the next period of time and unable to intervene in this battle. After temporarily dealing with Simon, Shane did not relax. His expression became more solemn and he looked in one direction on the deck. "Heh... he obviously noticed my arrival, but he didn''t use this cannon on me." "I really don''t know whether to call you stupid or smart." A middle-aged man with a beard and a handsome appearance slowly walked out of the shadows. Sixth-level secret path master, Dobam! He quietly broke through the membrane surrounding the [Black Swan] and came to the deck. Xia En''s tone was as calm as before: "That shot can''t cause any harm to you, so why waste it on you?" "Not only is this magic cannon on your ship, not even you can pose the slightest threat to me." Dobam''s lips curved into a sneer, and his eyes fell on Fei Ya, who was not far away. After just observing for a moment, his eyes became extremely hot. Greedy desire is burning. "I didn''t expect that the owner of the ancestor''s bloodline would be such a beauty." Dobam grinned and said: "I suggest you surrender as soon as possible. I don''t mind tasting you first before dedicating you to the family..." Apparently, Dobam also misunderstood Feiya''s gender. But at this time, Xia En was not in the mood to correct his fallacy. The next moment. A ghostly shadow appeared behind Dobam. The shadows wrapped around his body like thorns, and swept through him like a storm of sharp blades. "Hmph! A little trick!" Blood flashed in Dobam''s eyes, and he quickly drew out the long sword at his waist, slashing at the figure whose face could not be seen clearly. However, his real killing move is the numerous blood lines released by his other hand. This secret technique is called [Blood Plunder! Once those blood lines penetrate the enemy''s body, they can drain the opponent''s essence and blood in an instant. "Go to hell!" The moment the blood line touched the shadow, Dobam gave a hideous laugh. But what shocked him was that the other end of the blood line failed to absorb even a drop of blood. On the contrary, there was a strange secret power that entered his body along those blood lines. Moreover, in just one breath, numbness and itching sensations came from all over the body. It was as if there were thousands of ants crawling and gnawing inside Dobam''s body. "What the **** is this?" Dobam was shocked, but at the same time, a magic sword condensed with blood was already slashing towards him! "court death!" Dobam shouted loudly and tried to block the slash with his long sword. But suddenly, the blood core in his body seemed to be frozen, making it difficult to beat. Dobam looked at Feiya in horror and said in horror. "This is... bloodline suppression!" (End of chapter) Chapter 296 Arrive at the highest city in the Federation [Liu Li Island! 】 Chapter 296 Arriving at the highest city in the Federation[Liu Li Island! Among the vampires, the purity and antiquity of bloodline are of extremely important significance. Otherwise, there would not be such a strict division of first-class, second-class, and third-class races. -Like a solid pyramid made of blood, it cannot be overstepped. The essential reason is that bloodline will greatly affect the combat effectiveness and talent of vampires. Vampires of lower races may not be able to advance to the third level or even higher levels in their lifetime. At the same time, the high-level vampires with noble blood will naturally have a suppressive effect on the lower-level vampires. Even if they are not direct descendants, the upper bloodline will exert significant pressure on the lower bloodline. The greater the gap in rank, the more obvious the pressure. This kind of "bloodline suppression" is the source of the strict hierarchy of the blood clan. In the past, only Dobam used his blood to suppress other vampires. But right now However, he felt an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty from this "girl" whose rank was far lower than his own, as well as a tremor coming from the depths of his blood! This coercion clearly acted on Dobam''s body, making his blood core seem to be frozen, and his beating speed slowed down significantly. -The blood core is the heart of the vampire clan. After several levels of promotion, the ordinary heart cannot hold the increasingly powerful blood of the Vampires, so the shape of the heart will change. It becomes a core that looks like crystal and flesh. The blood core is also the source of the vampire''s power. The blood core is restrained, and the discomfort is no less than that of a big hand holding the heart tightly. Originally, with Dobam''s strength, it shouldn''t be difficult to block this slash. But with the advent of bloodline suppression, the blood all over his body seemed to be stagnant, and the operation of the secret power was even more unsmooth. It was like an invisible shackle, binding Dobam''s whole body. 100% of the combat power cannot be used at 50%! Although the suppression time was very short, it was enough for Xia En! laugh- The Blood Demon Sword carried heavy power and chopped off Dobam''s head! The hard skull didn''t even hold on for a second, it was split open like a knife cutting through butter. The blood in Dobam''s body showed an unusually tenacious attitude, constantly changing its shape and stimulating its secret power to stop the magic sword from falling. The feeling of this sword is not like cutting into a body, but like cutting into a pool of sticky glue. The resistance is very obvious and even gives people a disgusting feeling. Xia En is not without a way to deal with this. A flash of blood suddenly flashed in his eyes. Immediately, the Blood Demonic Sword in his hand suddenly bloomed with extremely bright blood light. Covered in blood light, Dobam lost control of his blood. Instead of becoming an obstacle to the magic sword, the blood was quickly sucked into the magic sword, making the weapon even sharper and weirder. This is the reason why Xia En uses the [Secret Technique of Blood Modeling] instead of using the shadow blade. Don''t forget, he also has the talent of [Blood Power] to control the secret power of blood. Moreover, after Feiya''s bloodline transformed, Xia En''s talent was also improved due to the effect of [Captain''s Majesty]. In fact. What even Xia En doesn''t know is that the reason why his [Blood Power] can be effective on Dobam is because part of his blood secret power comes from Feiya. In other words, Xia En can be regarded as a blood descendant of Fei Ya in disguise, and he also inherited part of the ancient and noble bloodline. "How is it possible...even you..." Dobam, whose head had been cut off in half, was still not dead. He roared in disbelief from an unknown organ. Amid shock and fear, there was also intense envy and jealousy. He did not dare to accept it, nor did he want to accept it. The captain in front of him was also the owner of the ancestor''s bloodline. Although I dont know what Dobam misunderstood. But Xia En would not miss this excellent opportunity. He shouted violently, mobilized all the strength in his body, gripped the blood demon sword that became sharper and larger, and pressed down with all his strength. A comprehensive quality of up to 16 - the experience of [Deep Sea Diving], the various talents on the panel, the blessing brought by the ship spirit - the results of Xia En''s past efforts are all instilled in this sword. At the same time, the [Projection Body] covered with shadow blades also opened its arms to Dobam. It was like a **** mouth full of sharp teeth that swallowed it up. "Nooooooooo!!" Amidst the shrill screams, the Blood Demonic Sword split open Dobam''s chest from top to bottom, splitting it in two. The vital blood core was also chopped into pieces by a sword. Even those fragments were all destroyed into finer fragments by the shadow of [Projection Body]. From a long time ago, Xia En knew that the vampires had extremely powerful regeneration capabilities. The higher the level of the vampire, the more so. Ordinary methods such as beheading and piercing the heart cannot really kill them. Therefore, when facing Dobam, who was at the sixth level, Xia En did not dare to be careless at all. Even if it was the opponent''s flesh and blood, Xia En activated the [Deep Touch] around him to completely tear them apart and devour them. It wasn''t until Dobam''s body completely disappeared from sight in physical form that everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Fei Ya still had some disbelief on her face and murmured. "Did we really kill him? He should be a sixth-level Mystic, right?" Feiya''s surprise is actually not difficult to understand. After all, Dobam was a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, and in the eyes of Feiya in the past, he was nothing more than a legendary figure. The difference between the third level and the sixth level is too big to be measured. What''s more, he is a vampire who is always known to be difficult to kill! But at this time, Dobam actually died under their joint siege. And the entire battle seemed to last less than a minute? Fei Ya couldn''t help but wonder if Dobam had some back-up plan, or was it just one of his clones that died? Hearing this, Xia En said with unusual certainty: "Don''t worry, he is really dead." The reason why Xia En can make this judgment is simple - [Ship Soul Experience +5%! (Black Swan)] [Ship Soul Experience +5%! (Diamond Star)] The information flashed on the panel fully proved this point. But in fact, Xia En and the others were able to quickly kill Dobam with the power of thunder, which actually had a lot of luck. The most important thing is... Dobam relied on his vampire''s nearly "immortal" self-healing ability to dare to board the [Black Swan] alone. Secondly, before boarding the ship, he seemed to have used some kind of secret technique to cross the water and catch up with him as quickly as possible. In other words, he was not in his prime after boarding the ship. In contrast, Xia En not only used the [Projection Body] and the main body at the same time, but also the [Secret Power of the Void] and Feiya''s bloodline suppression. Under the influence of various factors, Dobam died so easily. In game terms, it''s like being controlled to death by one set. There was no time to use any secret techniques or skills. If Dobam was more cautious and carefully tested the methods of Xia En and others instead of arrogantly using his body to intercept them, it would definitely bring them a great threat. In the end, even if Xia En wins, he still has to pay a heavy price. Fortunately, there are no "ifs" in the world. Dobam finally paid the price for his arrogance. "Am I now able to compete head-on with a sixth-level Mystic Pathgoer..." Xia En clenched his fists, feeling the power flowing through his body, and couldn''t help but feel a little excited. Different from the previous battle between [Sand Island] and Dusk, this time, the opponent was not subject to invisible restrictions, and he did not rely on the power of Carles. Compared to being besieged by three Level 6 Secret Pathers in the [City of Giant Woods], we could only struggle to hold on and had no chance of winning. Xia En can be sure that he has indeed become more than a little stronger! He was one step closer to his goal. However, Shane did not relax just yet. On the contrary, he knew very well that he was not out of danger yet. The powerful auras approaching on the sea surface and in the water are proof of this. The good news is. Due to the advent of the [Great Dark Sky], the emergence of the [Diamond Star], and the incredible diving ability of the [Black Swan]... The [Black Rose] and [Wincheston] were destroyed one after another, and the previous encirclement formed by the five vampire warships no longer existed. Thinking of this, Xia En held the steering wheel again and said in his heart. "Xiao Hei, rush out of the sea!" [Yes, Master! Following Xiao Hei''s response, the [Black Swan] swam upwards like a whale, breaking through the sea in an instant, riding the wind and waves and rushing forward. Although it feels good to travel under the sea with the talent of [Deep Sea Body], underwater navigation will be more or less resisted by the sea water. In terms of pure speed, it is faster on the sea! Right now, as long as the [Black Swan] maintains full speed, it can get rid of the pursuing vampire warriors! In a short period of time, the mystics are definitely stronger than the ships in terms of explosive power, but once the time is extended, the advantages of the ships become apparent. Because no matter what, those who take the secret journey will eventually get tired! But what happened next was beyond Xia En''s expectation. On the sea surface, there were several streaks of blood passing like rainbows. The target is the [Black Swan] ahead. But soon, these **** movements suddenly stopped. Just because they all sensed the death of a fellow member! Powerful vampires usually have strong bloodline perception, but when that bloodline suddenly becomes silent, there is often only one possibility. "Dobam...is dead?" In the **** light, shocked words came out: "This, this is impossible..." The vampires in another **** light were also shocked: "It''s true that there are means to deal with sixth-level experts on that ship, but there is clearly no sixth-level secret path master." "How could Dobam die? And...so quickly?" The tenacious vitality of the vampires is already a recognition engraved in their instincts. Therefore, at certain times, they often do not dodge even though they encounter an attack that will cut their body. It can even be said that the vampires have long adapted to the "injury-for-injury" combat method. Because of this. They only act so shocked after realizing that Dobam is really dead. In addition to being shocked, everyone couldn''t help but feel a little fear and vigilance in their hearts. Since Dobham will be killed by the crew of the [Black Swan], then they... may also die! "What to do next?" The vampire who spoke first asked: "Do you want to continue chasing?" "certainly!" Some people vowed: "Avenge Dobam!" Immediately, Liu Guang, who had stopped, started to pursue again. However, only those who observe carefully can find that the speed of several **** lights seems to be...slower than before? The longer you live, the more you fear death. This law is especially suitable for vampires. Even if they know that with the combat power of themselves and others, they can completely crush the [Black Swan]. But what if there is still a means to kill the sixth-level Mystic Path on that ship? Even if it can only be used once, no vampire wants to be the unlucky guy. "Hmph, you idiots who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Among the crowd, someone said sharply: "If we don''t catch up with him now, when we enter the waters of [Liu Li Island], we will have no chance to take action." "If we really let them escape, they will be liquidated one by one in the future!" These words finally stimulated these vampires. The speed of the blood light increased again. However, they haven''t caught up with the [Black Swan] yet. On the sea not far away, two ships with the federal [Star Wave] logo appeared. "It''s the **** ship of [Liu Li Island]!" The expressions of the vampires changed slightly: "Strange, how come they happened to appear in this sea area?" Soon, everyone looked at the thickest streak of blood and asked: "Sir Richard, what should we do now?" The owner of this **** light is the vampire who woke everyone up just now. The reason why he has such strong hostility towards the [Black Swan], in addition to Fei Ya who is bound to win, is also because... He is the brother of Captain Twilight of [Burning Gold]! After learning about his sister''s death, Richard included the Black Swan on his must-kill list. He originally thought that this **** hunting trip would wash away hatred with the blood of his enemies, but he didn''t expect to encounter so many changes one after another. Looking at the **** ship approaching the Black Swan, Richard''s face became increasingly ugly. "Federal **** ship..." This sea area has actually not officially entered the management scope of [Liu Li Island]. But now that the federal **** ship has arrived, if they want to launch another attack, they will undoubtedly challenge the authority of the federation! After his expression changed several times, Richard''s face turned gloomy and he said bitterly: "Let''s go!" other side. [Black Swan] came to the side of two **** ships. There was no communication between the two sides, but the **** ship suddenly changed its direction. Although Xia En was a little confused, he still drove the [Black Swan] and followed the two ships. It didn''t take long. Not far away, a vast and prosperous island is already vaguely visible. Arrive at the highest city in the Federation[Liu Li Island! (End of chapter) Chapter 297 【Federal Grand Library】 Chapter 297 [Federal Library] In the process of approaching [Liu Li Island]. Shane always paid attention to the two federal frigates that suddenly appeared next to him. After all, the timing of their appearance was a bit too coincidentalit happened to be not long after the [Black Swan] broke out of the vampire hunt. Moreover, this sea area is actually still some distance away from [Liu Li Island]. The arrival of these two frigates can hardly be said to be a coincidence. It felt to Xia En as if he had come to greet the Black Swan on purpose. Shane originally guessed that Carles might be on the two ships. But when the remaining three warships of the Blood Tribe disappeared from sight, no one on the **** ship came forward to negotiate with them, as if the two ships were just on routine patrol. This contradictory situation naturally made Xia En feel quite strange. It wasn''t until the three ships sailed into the port of [Liu Li Island] that a familiar face finally appeared on the deck. "Captain Shane, long time no see." Hearing this hearty voice, Xia En was surprised and a little pleasantly surprised. "Captain Dulan? Why are you at [Liu Li Island]?" The person who appeared on the frigate was none other than the demi-human Duran, whom Shane had met several times! Duran still looks tall and strong, with brown hair all over his body, and he looks like he has a good handle. With Xia En''s perception, he could easily detect - Compared with the last time they met, Duran''s aura has improved greatly, and he must have become a third-level mystic. In fact, this is the speed at which normal Mystics are promoted. There are even more Mystics who cannot advance to the first level in several years or decades. Looking at Xia En in front of him, Dulan was filled with emotion and admiration. If anyone had told him when they first met that this handsome young captain could become a fifth-level mystic and become famous on the Seven Seas, he would have thought it was a fantasy. But now, all this has become a fact. Moreover, just being able to escape from the encirclement of five vampire warships is enough to prove Xia En''s strength. Suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, Dulan smiled and said: "I am no longer the captain, just the first mate on the [Iron Eagle]." Xia En smiled: "Congratulations to you." Although Dulan''s position has changed from captain to first mate, the sea area under his jurisdiction has changed from a remote place like [Duke Island] to [Liu Li Island]. It''s like going from a small town to a big city. It seems like a demotion, but in fact it is definitely a promotion. Duran continued: "Let me introduce to you, this is my current captain, Alessio." Xia En looked at Duran''s side. The captain of the [Iron Eagle] is a tall, thin, blond young man with a handsome appearance and a somewhat sharp temperament. The most surprising thing is that he looks to be about the same age as Shane. At this age, being able to become the captain of the federal **** ship near [Liu Li Island], coupled with the aura of a fourth-level mystic in him, can be regarded as a young and promising person. However, Alessio looked at Shane with very complicated eyes. There is envy, vigilance, and surprise... And some strange hostility? Xia En was a little confused. Did he offend this young captain in some way? It was obviously the first time they met, right? Strangely enough, Alessio helped him at a critical moment, so Xia En didn''t care too much and took the initiative to reach out and said. "I''m Shane, nice to meet you." Alessio shook his hand and then said coldly. "Xia En, this name... I have heard it many times. I didn''t expect you to really have the courage to come to [Liu Li Island]." "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows and his expression became wary. Although I dont know where Alessios hostility comes from, he expressed it directly. Of course, Shane cant pretend that he didnt hear it. However, just when Shane was about to say something. With a "pop" sound, a white palm hit Alessio directly on the back of the head. "What nonsense are you talking about!" The owner of the palm turned around and looked at Xia En with a smile: "Don''t listen to Xiao Aao''s nonsense, our attitude towards you is very friendly." "Otherwise, we wouldn''t have gone to such great lengths to dispatch these two **** ships to pick you up..." When he saw Xia En''s face, the owner of the palm paused in his words. At this time, Xia En was able to see the face of this woman clearly. This is a dashing, graceful blonde woman with an extremely hot figure. The plump **** that are ready to come out are something that no male can ignore. Her appearance is 50 or 60% similar to Alessio''s, and she obviously has some kind of blood relationship. "Sister, how many times have I told you not to hit me on the head!" The cold attitude Alessio had played before was instantly "broken" when he was hit by the blonde woman. He looked extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do about his sister. But at this time, the blonde woman''s attention had been completely attracted by Shane. She stared intently at Xia En''s face, which was so exquisite that it could be described as "perfect". Her eyes were so bright that her saliva was almost drooling. "I heard from Carles before that that Shane is very good-looking. Now it seems that she is really a rare beauty." "No wonder she has always been obsessed with you." Hearing this, Shane''s eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know Carles?" "Where is she now?" The blonde woman took a step forward, came to Shane, and hugged his shoulders. The amazing elasticity was transmitted through the thin clothes, and Shane could even use this to outline the rounded arc in his mind. However, what worried Xia En more was the speed with which she took this step. Even Xia En can''t seem to stop her, which shows the extraordinary strength of this woman. "Don''t worry~" The woman''s red lips opened slightly and she said softly: "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Daisy. I am Carles'' colleague and friend." "If you want to know where Carles is, why don''t you chat with me first?" As she spoke, Daisy''s fingers slowly traced across Xia En''s solid chest, her gesture was very ambiguous. Shane frowned. To be honest, he didn''t particularly like such a frivolous woman, so he said lightly. "I think we should get down to business, right?" The flamboyant Daisy curled her lips and said, "You can''t even take a joke. She is exactly the same as Carles." But she still returned to Alessio''s side honestly. Even before leaving, she didn''t forget to touch Xia En''s chest muscles. Xia En couldn''t help but smile. Is he being fooled? After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En glanced at the two **** ships next to him and said seriously. "Thank you both for your help." He has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grievances, so he naturally knew that Daisy and her brother were friends of Carles, but not his friends. They are willing to help out of affection, but not to help out of duty. Moreover, if the vampires were really determined just now, they might not take action against the federal **** ship. "Little things, little things." Daisy waved her hand generously: "When Carles left [Liu Li Island], he specifically told us that if you come to [Liu Li Island], we must help you." "Actually, we didn''t help much. The main reason is that your [Black Swan] was powerful enough to break out of their encirclement." "If you are really caught by the vampires, even if we come forward, it will probably be of no use." Daisy said this very frankly. The combat power of the two **** ships was actually nothing at all. It was only because the Federation of the Seven Seas stood behind them that the vampires turned against them. But this fear is obviously limited. It can only prevent the vampires from attacking them, but it cannot prevent them from spitting out the prey they have eaten. That''s why Daisy said this. At this time, Alessio on the side said coldly: "However, you destroyed the two ships of the vampires this time, which can be considered as completely angering the vampires." "After that, as long as you leave [Liu Li Island] again, you may be hunted by a larger scale of bloodshed." "When the time comes, we won''t be able to help, so you''ll have to ask for your own blessings." His words were clearly concerned, but his tone was somehow harsh, which made Xia En look a little weird. "Haha, don''t worry!" Daisy patted Alessio on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That''s the character of little Oao. What''s that word called? It seems...arrogant?" "But don''t blame him. He targeted you for a reason." Daisy explained to Xia En: "At the beginning, Xiao Aao was actually the original driver of [Platinum Knight]." "Whether it''s physical body or secret power, they all have a very high degree of compatibility." "As a result, after Carles went on a mission, you robbed her of her first chance to unite. After that, Carlis didn''t allow anyone else to enter her body, so the driver''s matter was naturally left alone." "Even now, little Ao''ao still feels resentful in his heart!" After hearing this, Shane immediately understood where Alessio''s hostility came from. Co-author, Alessio is Carles''s "childhood sweetheart", and he is the latecomer who stepped in. Not only did he take away Carles'' first time, but he also made her completely obsessed with him... Hiss...this plot? There are cows! After thinking about all this, Shane no longer cared about Alessio''s stinging words. To be fair, anyone who encounters this kind of situation would be resentful! Not to mention the thorny words, it is not impossible to challenge directly in person. As a profiteer myself, I can only understand a little bit. Soon, Shane asked Daisy again: "You said... before Carlisle left?" "She has left [Liuli Island] now?" Daisy nodded: "Yes." "Her father is the captain of the [King], so she is also the first batch of supporters to go to the [Cold Sea]." "I see." Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn''t see Carles, but the situation was like this, there was nothing Shane could do. The top priority right now is to find a place to stay and let the crew rest for a few days. In fact, since the [Black Swan] left the [Ice Island], Xia En and others have not seriously rested on any island. Long-term sea voyages actually place a considerable burden on people''s minds and spirits. If it weren''t for Xia En''s [Rhine Secret Realm] for the crew to rest, and Feiya and Joey''s means of purifying their souls, something might have gone wrong a long time ago. "Are you looking for a place to stay?" Daisy saw what Xia En was thinking and said considerately: "Carles has already prepared it for you, come with me." Under the leadership of Daisy, the group officially set foot on [Liu Li Island]. As soon as he landed on this island, Xia En immediately felt a distinctive feature that was different from other islandsbig! On other islands, due to island area restrictions. People always try to compress unnecessary space as much as possible to free up more space for living or other important aspects. There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it will inevitably make the layout of the entire island look a bit bloated and crowded. Available at [Liu Li Island]. Whether it is streets, corridors, houses, or churches, they are all extremely spacious. The streets and buildings on both sides of the roads in the city have obviously been carefully planned and are not just "barbaric growth" without order. It just looks pleasing to the eye. Even on the road, Sean could see green plants and flowers. Cinemas, dance halls, grand theaters, museums... these buildings that seemed to have been lost in the post-flood era are neatly displayed on [Liu Li Island]. It can be said that the prosperity of [Liu Li Island] is not the kind of "prosperity" that is magnificent, dazzling and blinding people with a large number of luxury goods. It is another kind of quiet prosperity that symbolizes civilization and order. As far as Xia En was concerned, it was obvious that the latter made people feel more comfortable. But at the same time, Xia En and others also noticed The pedestrians on [Liu Li Island] are not too dense, and are even a little sparse. Many of the shops on both sides of the street had their doors closed, and it was unclear whether they were closed or closed. Some streets looked quite deserted. Daisy explained: "This is not only the impact of the second flood prophecy, but also because of the previous war between the Hui Sect, the Nether Sect and the Truth Society." "In order to prevent the infiltration of the esoteric believers, [Liu Li Island] once cut off the entry and exit of merchant ships, which is why it is now like this." At this point, Daisy sighed: "I really don''t know why they are fighting." "On the contrary, we suffered an unreasonable disaster." Shane: "..." Not long after, Daisy brought Shane and others to a manor. "This is Carles''s manor, you can live here first." "If you need anything, you can come to me anytime." Hearing this, Xia En said directly: "It just so happens that I have a need now." "You want to explore pre-Flood history?" "Still want to find some possibly lost spells?" After listening to Xia En''s request, Daisy thought for a moment and gave the answer: "Then there is only one place you want to go -" "[Federal Grand Library!]" (End of chapter) Chapter 298 Librarian half-elf, Jane! Chapter 298 LibrarianHalf-elf, Jane! "The Federal Library?" Hearing the name, Xia En suddenly became interested: "Is there such a place on [Liu Li Island]?" Daisy nodded, her tone full of pride: "Of course, this is [Liu Li Island]!" "The Great Library of the Federation is said to have been created by the Chief of the Federation, Wayne Moriarty." "It contains many documents before and after the Great Flood. The earliest ancient books can even be traced back thousands of years before the Great Flood!" "It can be said that the Federal Grand Library is the largest, largest collection of books and the best-preserved library in the Federation." "The answer you want can only be found in the Great Library." Shane murmured to himself: "Wayne Moriarty..." Of course he didn''t forget the name. Back then, on the "Giant Island" in the "Misty Sea", there was an "Ember Treasure". Xia En had seen the message from the federal chief and the [Judgment] sword intention left on the rock wall. In fact, both of them provided great help to Shane at that time. Especially the sword intent on the rock wall made Xia En understand the skill of [Sword of Judgment], which became his trump card for a period of time. Although after reading Wayne Moriarty''s message, the ghost lady Vivian still carried the crystal coffin to Shane''s ship. But that is force majeure. Shane himself still feels some gratitude to Wayne. So, he couldn''t help but asked curiously: "Federal Chief, are you still alive now?" "You can just ask me this." Daisy said frankly: "I''m just a soldier in the federal navy. How do I know whether such a legendary big shot is dead or alive?" "However, in the past few years, there has indeed been no news of the Federation Chief appearing on the Seven Seas." "Perhaps the old man deliberately kept his name anonymous and wanted to live a peaceful life?" Shane agrees. Afterwards, Shane asked the other crew members to stay in Carles''s manor to rest, while he followed Daisy towards the Federation Library. On the way, Daisy did not forget to remind her. "By the way, if you have ancient documents unearthed from underwater ruins or other places, you can exchange them for federal merit in the Great Library." "Achievements?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Xia En was a little curious: "What is that?" Daisy explained: "You can think of it as a special currency of the Federation. It can be exchanged for some good things that money cannot buy from the Federation''s treasury. It can only be obtained through several special channels." "On [Liu Li Island] or other core islands of the Federation, merit is much more useful than Golden Dragon Coins." "Of course, meritorious deeds can also be exchanged for gold dragon coins, but it is difficult to buy meritorious deeds with gold dragon coins." After hearing what she said, Xia En understood immediately. This is something like "contribution points" and "points". It can not only reduce the expenditure of gold dragon coins, but also encourage the federal navy and civilians to serve the federation. "It is said that the superiors also plan to reward the meritorious service for this rescue operation to [Lenglie Sea]." Daisy said: "No matter what your background is, whether you are a pirate or a navy, as long as you make a contribution in this operation, you can get rich merits." After hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but sigh with emotion at the courage of the federal officials. The scale and scope of this operation can be said to be the first since the establishment of the Federation. The amount of merit that needs to be paid is naturally huge. Even with the financial resources of the Federation, it will probably cost a lot of money. But then I thought about it. If they really failed to prevent the second world-destroying flood, no matter how many achievements they made and how many secret treasures they had, it would be meaningless. It''s better to use this as a reward to encourage people to give it a try. Xia En was also somewhat interested in the Federation''s treasure house, so he asked: "Besides ancient books, what else can be exchanged for Federation merit?" "Let me think..." Daisy held her chin and thought: "It seems that seeds, embryos of ancient organisms, or some new species that have never been recorded can be exchanged for federal merit." "Seeds or embryos of ancient creatures?" Xia En was stunned. He immediately thought of the [Ember Treasure] buried in [Coral City]. Although the treasure had been destroyed by ignorant outsiders, it still contained many pre-Flood seeds. If they are handed over to the Federation, not only can they receive a lot of merit, but they can also allow these seeds to play their true role, bloom and bear fruit again in this new era, and complete the continuation of the species. It''s a pity. Xia En did not leave the [Submarine Anchor Point] in [Coral City]. Considering the distance between that ruins and [Liu Li Island], it would obviously be a waste of time to go there in person. He could only put the matter aside for the time being. As for the new species that have never been recorded that Daisy mentioned, it reminded Shane of Rhine Secret Realm! From Xia En''s exploration in the [Rhine Secret Realm], it is basically certain that before their arrival, this [Secret Realm] had no connection with the Seven Seas World. The only "portal" and "bridge" between the two sides is the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] in Xia En''s heart. That is to say. The creatures in [Rhine Secret Realm] are all new species that are completely unfamiliar to [Seven Seas World]. Thinking about it, he should be able to get a lot of merit in exchange. The only drawback is that this will most likely expose the information that Xia En alone holds a [Secret Realm]. However, Xia En still trusts the credibility of the Seven Seas Federation. Take this call to action. Many pirate ships originally did not dare to approach the federal islands, fearing that this would be a trap and they would be destroyed. But soon, the federation issued an announcement stating that as long as the pirate ship participated in the rescue operation, it would be able to obtain an "amnesty order" issued by the federation and eliminate the previous bounty. The Black Swan''s ability to enter the port of Liuli Island is also related to this "amnesty order". In the early days of this announcement, it naturally caused a lot of controversy and confusion. However, the Federation still firmly implements it until today. It can even be said that the credibility of the Federation is so good that even the most vicious pirates cannot deny it. Therefore, Xia En believes that it is feasible to exchange the new species in the [Rhine Secret Realm] for the Federation''s merits. "We''re here." At this moment, Daisy''s words interrupted Shane''s chaotic thoughts. He silently suppressed his distracting thoughts and kept the matter of "redeeming merit" in mind, then raised his head and looked in front of him. What slowly entered Xia En''s sight was a tall and magnificent building. The walls of this building are dark gray, like steel. From the architectural style, we can also see its cold and hard temperament, like a soldier standing in the cold wind. Its towering columns, arches and continuously undulating roof structure look full of majesty and majesty at any time. In fact, this is very typical of the early Federal style. During the earliest days of the Federation, resources in all aspects were quite limited, and various buildings were often more focused on practicality than aesthetics. In other words, it looks very military. However, after staring at the building for a moment, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. Because, in his eyes, this library quickly underwent indescribable changes. A large number of blurry black shadows spread from the edge of the library, and countless eyes opened in each black shadow, peeping at him with different eyes. Not only that, the building seemed to melt, its entire form changed, and it continued to expand and contract and squirm. Like some kind of living thing, like a burning candle... There are also a lot of distorted noises and light and shadow fragments of unknown meaning mixed in, making the whole picture look even more absurd and bizarre. Faced with this scene, Xia En was not afraid at all, but took a step forward. After taking this step, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The next second. The black shadow spreading in the library suddenly began to tremble violently. All the eyes in the black shadow suddenly burst open as if they had seen something they shouldn''t have seen. There was a harsh and painful scream from the melting building. Immediately afterwards, all visions disappeared. The library in front of Xia En was still the cold and majestic building, as if everything that had just happened was just his own illusion. "How...how is this possible?" But at this time, Alessio''s shocked murmur came from beside Shane. Shane turned around and found Daisy looking at him as if she had seen a ghost. He asked in confusion: "What''s wrong?" "Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen something strange just now. Could it be that it was you..." Shane''s eyes became sharp and scrutinizing. Daisy quickly explained: "Mr. Shane, it''s not what you think." "Actually, this should be considered a customary practice when visiting the [Federal Grand Library]." "Books and texts also have special secret powers, especially those books that record ancient secrets. They can also be regarded as a kind of [forbidden relic] in themselves." "Therefore, a special sealing ritual has been set up in the [Federal Great Library] to prevent this weird secret power from leaking out." "Although the Great Library has sealed this power, some of its aura will always leak out." Daisy paused and continued. "People with high inspiration often see some indescribable images when they see the Great Library for the first time." "On the contrary, there will be no impact at all." After hearing these words, Xia En suddenly understood: "That''s it." There was something profound in his tone. From a subjective perspective, Daisy and her brother did not want to harm themselves. However, the two of them brought Xia En to the entrance of the big library without taking the initiative to remind him. They were obviously there with a mischievous mentality of wanting to see him embarrassed. However, his reaction seemed to shock them? Shane glanced at Alessio behind him and continued walking into the big library without saying anything else. After the two sides were some distance apart, Daisy asked Alessio in a low voice. "Brother, what did you see just now?" Alessio still looked a little dazed and murmured: "I saw...those shadows and were scared away..." "I saw something similar." Daisy was a little surprised and guessed: "Who is this Captain Shane?" Just because he has a high rank, he can''t do what he just did. It is obvious that there is some characteristic in Xia En that makes even the hidden powers in the library fear him. Daisy changed the subject and said. "But even so, I''m afraid he will feel embarrassed in front of the administrator, right?" Alessio nodded with deep understanding. "After all, it''s the administrator lady..." Xia En, who had already walked into the library door, was completely unaware of the conversation between the two people behind him. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes were attracted by the seemingly endless books in front of him. On the rows and rows of bookshelves, there are countless books on display, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance. The entire library is like a forest composed of books and bookshelves. Cold and silent, but with a strange sense of beauty. For book lovers, this might be paradise, right? Tread... Just when Xia En was shocked by the sight in front of him, there was a burst of unhurried footsteps behind him. Shane turned to look. Coming from behind was an old woman wearing a long black dress with an aging face. She has a thin figure and a calm expression, and her youthful beauty is vaguely visible between her brows and eyes. The old woman just stood in the forest of bookshelves, but she seemed extremely harmonious, as if she should be a part of these books. At first glance, she looks a bit like an old witch from a fairy tale. Still the kind that eats children! But after careful observation, you can find that the old woman actually feels plain. It''s like he has already experienced the prosperity of the world and seen the peaks and valleys, so he doesn''t care much about external things. She was clearly standing there, but it seemed like she was spanning an immeasurable distance. After glancing at Xia En, the old woman''s expression did not waver at all. She just moved her steps and continued to do her unfinished work. But that''s it. However, Xia En noticed something special about the old woman and couldn''t help but ask. "Are you... an elf?" The reason why Xia En asked this question was because he saw that the old woman''s ears were slightly pointed and there were some traces of dark green in her pupils. The most important thing is that the old woman has an indescribable natural aura about her. "Um?" The old woman raised her eyebrows, seeming to see something from Xia En, and asked. "Have you ever seen a real elf?" The old woman''s voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had experienced the precipitation of time. After hesitating for a moment, Xia En nodded: "That''s right." But at this moment, the old woman''s cloudy eyes suddenly glowed with an unprecedented look. She murmured quickly: "No, you have not only met elves, you have also spent time with elves day and night..." "That''s it, it turns out you are..." The old woman''s cold attitude suddenly changed. She walked up to Xia En and said seriously. "First time we meet, I am Jane Vivian." "I am not a pure-blooded elf, but a hybrid of elves and humans." (End of chapter) Chapter 299 [Defector], [Truth Society] plan! Chapter 299 [Defector], [Truth Society] plan! "Jane Vivian?" Shane was stunned for a moment. He was particularly impressed by the surname "Vivian". Not only did Miss Ghost, the crew member, have this name, but Laila was also a member of this big family. Could it be that there is a certain blood relationship between this wise and indifferent old woman and Laila? At this time, Jane''s attitude had changed drastically compared to just now, and her expression became kind and gentle, with a touch of happiness and nostalgia. Jane breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "I thought I couldn''t wait for your arrival." "You...waiting for me?" The doubts in Xia En''s heart became more intense, and he couldn''t help but ask cautiously. "Did Laila ask you to do this?" Jane shook her head: "Unfortunately, I don''t know who Laila is." "To be more precise, I no longer remember who asked me to do this, nor the specific reasons behind it." "Um?" The more Xia En listened, the more strange he became. Since she has forgotten this information, why Jane can still remember to wait for him seems to be contradictory. But soon, Xia En suddenly remembered a similar case - Joeys father, [Undertaker] Edward! In the state of not awakening his hidden personality, he obviously reacted to the name "Diana", but the memory related to it no longer existed. Isn''t this old woman''s situation exactly similar? And in the Seven Seas, the only one who can delete memories at will is the [Truth Society]! Xia En simply asked directly: "Did the [Truth Society] do anything about it?" "It seems that you know a lot more than I expected." Jane''s tone was inexplicably meaningful: "But let''s just say that." "By the way, I haven''t asked you your name yet..." Xia En said bluntly: "My name is Xia En, and I am the captain of the [Black Swan]." "[Black Swan]? You have a ship that loves you very much... Oh no, it seems there is more than one?" Jian Shenjing''s face showed a moment of teasing: "To be so closely entangled with so many people''s ''threads''..." "Mr. Xia En, let me remind you that it is not a good thing to be too carefree." Xia En shook the corner of his mouth, not knowing how to answer. But he suddenly felt a little strange. Only a few people should know that he owns two ships, the Diamond Star and the Black Swan at the same time, right? How did the old woman figure it out? Could it be some kind of mind-reading secret? Jane smiled and said: "Don''t worry, I don''t know how to read minds." "It''s just that my eyes can see some things that ordinary people can''t see, such as... the ''lines'' and ''dots'' on people." "Plus, after living for so long and meeting a lot of people, I can more or less guess what people are thinking." Xia En secretly marveled. Jane''s words sounded light, but in fact, this was not something that could be done just by talking about it. "Mr. Shane, please come with me." "Most of what you want to know can be answered here." Jane turned around and pressed lightly somewhere on the bookshelf, and a secret door opened. Xia En followed her into the secret door. At this time, Alessio and Daisy had just walked into the library door. Looking at the two people disappearing into the secret door, Daisy could not help but widen her eyes and murmured. "Madam administrator, you actually took him to that room?" "W-what''s going on? What happened just now when we were away?" Even Alessio, who had always behaved aloof, also showed a surprised and confused expression. He was even more surprised than when he saw Xia En "scare" away the secret power in the library. No wonder the siblings were so surprised. You know, the eccentric character of this great librarian is famous throughout [Liu Li Island]! because From the day the [Federal Grand Library] was built, the old woman has served as the "administrator" here. She always had a cool and indifferent attitude towards visitors to the Great Library. Of course, if you have something serious to do, the old woman will also complete her work seriously. But if it was just for the reason of "seeing the world" and "passing the time", this administrator would not give much of a good look. Regardless of whether he is an ordinary civilian, a pirate with a notorious reputation, or a general of the Federation Navy... As long as you come to the [Federal Library], you must act according to Jane Vivian''s rules! Once upon a time, it seemed that some children of high-ranking federal officials showed a bossy attitude when visiting the library. Then naturally I was taught a lesson by the administrator lady. These children thought they could use the power of their elders to retaliate against this "unscrupulous" administrator. However, in the end, people only saw a group of high-level federal figures personally bringing them to the big library to apologize. From this we can also see that this old woman has an extraordinary identity. And Jane''s secret room is even more like an "urban ghost story" in [Liu Li Island]. It is said that very few people have ever entered that secret room. But each one of them is a big shot famous in the seven seas. Either he is the governor of [Liuli Island], or he is the dean of the Federal Research Institute, the commander of the federal navy... Legend has it that even the chief of the federation needs permission from the administrator to enter this secret room. But now, a captain who has just arrived at [Liu Li Island] is getting this kind of treatment? Why is this? Alessio can''t figure it out no matter how hard he tries! But Daisy was thoughtful and whispered to herself: "Perhaps this is also the reason why Carles chose him?" "Her taste has always been very good..." at the same time. Xia En has followed Jane into the deep secret room. Of course he didn''t know the legend and reputation of this secret room on [Liu Li Island]. But after the secret door was closed, Xia En immediately noticed that a mysterious closed barrier had been formed in the room, which seemed to be to isolate the perception of the outside world and prevent the secret power from being leaked. It is very similar to the room where Augustine was in the promotion copy at that time. Moreover, Xia En secretly sensed it for a moment and found that the secret power contained in this barrier was very unusual. I''m afraid that even with all his strength, he won''t be able to break this barrier. Just then. A bright light came on above Shane''s head. Under the light, what appeared in front of him was a room with silver-white walls and floors. It''s not particularly huge, but it can''t be called small either. In the room, there are a large number of large and small precision instruments. For some of the instruments, Xia En can also judge their usefulness based on his previous life experience, such as microscopes, scales, spectroscopic devices... But more instruments were beyond Xia En''s knowledge. They were unheard of and full of dreamy technology. Even people like Xia En, who have a certain scientific education foundation, have this feeling. Not to mention ordinary captains and civilians on the Seven Seas. When they saw this scene, they were afraid that they would think it was a miracle, or... they would regard it as the scene of some strange ritual? However, after being surprised, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little wary. In fact, he is no stranger to this kind of technology-filled room. There were similar scenes inside the two [Ember Shelters]. Moreover, perhaps because of the more exposure and knowledge he has, when Xia En sees this kind of high-tech thing, the first thing he thinks of is the [Truth Society]! Coupled with Jane''s previously suspected altered memory, it was difficult for Xia En not to become suspicious. "Don''t worry." Seemingly sensing Xia En''s vigilance, Jane sat down on the chair in the secret room and spoke. "Let me formally introduce myself. I am the administrator of the [Federal Library] and I was once a member of the [Truth Society]." "But now, I should have been regarded as a [defector]." After hearing Jane personally admitting her relationship with the [Truth Society], Xia En not only did not relax, but became more vigilant. He has personally experienced the weirdness and evil of the [Truth Society], and naturally he does not dare to despise it in the slightest. "[Defector?]" Shane made a gesture as if he might attack at any time and asked, "What does that mean?" Jane was not surprised by Xia En''s reaction, but continued to speak in a calm and calm tone. "Actually, a long time ago, the [Truth Society] was not as extreme as it is now, but a looser and more tolerant organization." "The purpose of people joining the [Truth Society] is just to communicate and communicate on the most cutting-edge technology." "After all, genius is always lonely." "Ordinary people usually cannot understand them. Only similar people can understand their inner thoughts a little bit." "The original [Truth Society] was an organization that supported each other to support each other." There was a touch of sadness in Jane''s voice, as if she was telling a distant story that had nothing to do with her. "It''s just that slowly, some extreme ideas sprouted in the [Truth Society], and the [Truth Society] gradually deteriorated." "The worst thing is that they even came into contact with the existence of [truth]!" "They regarded the judgment of [Truth] as a guideline and gradually moved towards the path of madness. It was at that time that I quit the [Truth Society]." "However, in the eyes of the current [Truth Society], I am undoubtedly a shameful [defector]." "If my true identity is known to them, someone will probably come to assassinate me soon." From these words, Xia En felt Jane''s sincerity. He didn''t think Jane would lie about this kind of thing, because it was too easy to verify it. However, Shane noticed an important point from Jane''s words. He asked: "Having come into contact with the existence of [truth]... what does that mean?" In Shane''s view, shouldn''t "truth" be a more abstract existence? -For example, "1+1 equals 2" and "water evaporates when heated" and other laws and phenomena. That''s why I ask this question. Jane explained patiently: "Generally speaking, [truth] is of course everywhere, but it can never be touched." "In the beginning, the [Truth] that people in the [Truth Society] believed in also existed like this." "Scientists believe that there must be some absolute law in the world that they have not discovered yet, and the world operates according to this law." Some people call it God, Tao, thing-in-itself, absolute spirit In short, it has risen from the category of technology to religion. "As for the [truth] they came into contact with later..." Jane''s words paused, and it seemed that even she didn''t know how to describe this kind of existence. After a moment, Jane asked: "Mr. Xia En, I wonder if you have ever heard of... [The Will of the Secret Sea]?" Shane: "I''ve heard of it." He still remembered that in Augustine''s words, the "Secret Sea Will" was an extremely large, sophisticated, and absolutely rational machine. "Now that I''ve heard of it, it''s easy to explain." Jane continued: "In my opinion, the [Truth] that the [Truth Society] comes into contact with is equivalent to a clone and a fragment of the [Secret Sea Will]." "He possesses ''absolute rationality'' and superb computing performance similar to [Secret Sea Will]." "People in the [Truth Society] now believe that as long as they fill in enough data for Him, they can calculate the fate of everyone in our world and the development direction of everything." "Past, present, future... everything is under control!" "hiss" After hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but take a breath. To be honest, even he felt that the goal of the [Truth Society] was a bit too exaggerated. Control everything in the world. I''m afraid only the true Creator can do this kind of thing, right? But in other words, this is indeed an extremely grand and magnificent ideal. Those talented scientists who have made great achievements in various fields are really easily attracted by such ideals. The more incredible the goal, the greater the sense of accomplishment when completed. Perhaps it is for this reason that the [Truth Society] can continuously attract scientists to join it, and its power continues to grow. However, Xia En guessed that after attracting the scientists into the [Truth Society], the [Truth Society] might have used some special secret technique to hypnotize and brainwash them. After all, not all scientists are lunatics who don''t take human life seriously. Only special means can change their character. After Xia En digested this shocking secret with difficulty, he asked again: "I heard that the [Truth Society] has been preparing two plans." "One is to steal the authority of the gods, but what is the other?" Jane glanced at Xia En in surprise: "So you even know about this?" "These two plans are the secrets of the [Truth Society]. Only the top fifty members of the [Truth Serial Number] can know." "Everyone else is just a tool to execute the plan." Jane didn''t say anything, but said directly. "As for the other plan you mentioned, it''s actually..." "Resurrect the strong man in history!" (End of chapter) Chapter 300 【Truth No. 008 Lady Tranquility】 Chapter 300 [Truth No. 008Mrs. Serenity] "Huh? Resurrection... a strong man from history?" Even with Xia En''s determination, the first time he heard this sentence, he couldn''t help but wonder if he heard it wrong. After all, no matter how you look at it, it is too shocking. "Speaking of resurrection is a bit inaccurate." "After all, the bodies and souls of those ancient powerful men have been obliterated over a long period of time." Jane continued: "[The Truth Society]''s plan is actually to collect the data of those strong people and clone their bodies based on historical fragments and projections in the promotion ritual." "Finally, the woven memories are injected into these blank bodies to revive them." "Can it be regarded as a different kind of ''resurrection''?" There was a hint of mockery in Jane''s tone. Obviously, she didn''t like this method of resurrection very much, and she was even a little disgusted. Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of Edward who appeared in the [Pirate Principality] ritual. To be precise, it should be the personality slice called the "Observer". Xia En was previously curious as to why he called himself "Observer" at that time. But now that I think about it, it seems that his purpose in entering the promotion ritual was to collect Augustine''s data during observation! Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly felt creepy. Obviously, his promotion ritual was by no means an exception. The [Observer] must have broken into similar promotion dungeons more than once, secretly peeping at Augustine again and again, and collecting various information from his actions. Moreover, the [Observer]''s objects of observation are not only Augustine, but also those powerful figures who dominate an era. How many times has the [Truth Society] done this kind of action? How many powerful people''s data have been completely collected by them? The most important thing is, has the [Truth Society] "resurrected" these people in this era? Just thinking about these questions, Xia En felt a chill in his heart. In fact, the plan of the [Truth Society] is filled with a sense of blasphemy that disregards life and personality and plays with memory. This feeling is not as direct as the **** rituals of the sect, but it is still evil that goes against human nature. Do these guys think of themselves as creators? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s worry, Jane said, "Don''t be so nervous." "As far as I know, this plan of the [Truth Society] did not go so well." "Even if sufficient data is collected, the final personality will be strangely shifted due to unknown reasons." "Not only that, the cloned body cannot truly reach the level in history." "However, they should have produced a batch of semi-finished products..." Xia En couldn''t help but ask: "What is a semi-finished product?" Jane patiently explained: "The [Truth Society] deliberately retained only the fighting skills of certain strong men and input them into the bodies prepared in advance." "Although they don''t have the memory of the strong men in history, their combat prowess is equally impressive. They can be called natural fighting machines." "Previously, when [Truth Society] and [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect] clashed, they relied on this batch of semi-finished products to withstand the opponent''s offensive." Xia En looked astonished: "So that''s it..." He had previously found it strange that most of the members of the [Truth Society] were scientists, and they might all have amazing talents in their respective fields, but in the field of combat they were often no match for the Mystics of the same level. How did this [Truth Society] persist under the siege of the two major esoteric sects? Now, after hearing Jane''s explanation, Xia En had the answer in his heart. This series of explosive information undoubtedly brought a great impact to Xia En. It took him some time to silently digest these secrets and remember them in the deepest part of his mind. But soon, Xia En remembered something again. Some of this information is obviously not accessible to the middle and lower-level members of the [Truth Society]. So, who is Jane who knows such detailed information? Xia En asked Jane directly his doubts. Jane did not hide it, but said in a slightly nostalgic tone: "Before I left the [Truth Society], my name was -" "[Truth Serial Number.008Mrs. Serenity]" "[Mrs. Tranquility]..." Xia En subconsciously repeated the name, vaguely aware of some past events that should not be mentioned. What made him even more stunned was that Jane''s [Truth Serial Number] was actually NO.008! You know, the [Thousand Changer] who boarded the [Black Swan] and forced Xia En into the whirlpool in the sea, his code name is [Truth No. 107 - Gray Mask]! One is ranked after one hundred, and the other is in the top ten. The difference is clear at a glance. In other words, in the [Truth Society], there are only seven more core members than Jane! This can probably be regarded as a conversation between Xia En and the core members of the [Truth Society]. Xia En couldn''t help but be curious: "Do you know what the [Truth Serial Number] of [The Undertaker] is?" After thinking about it, Jane said: "[The Undertaker] should be the rising star after I quit the [Truth Society]." "I have also heard about him. The situation is very complicated and he can no longer be regarded as an independent individual." "His [Truth Serial Number] should be around the first thirty." At this point, Jane said solemnly: "There is one thing I must remind you." "Although the number of [Truth Serial Number] is very important in [Truth Society], it does not represent the ranking of strength, but a comprehensive number of each member''s uniqueness and joining time." "Don''t underestimate the combat power of some members just because they are ranked low." Xia En nodded seriously and said, "I understand, thank you for reminding me." After going around in such a big circle, Xia En remembered the question he asked Jane in the first place. "Why do you say that someone asked you to wait for me here, but you don''t remember who that person is?" Jane said: "You should know that the [Truth Society] has the technology to delete and add memories." "And the person who deleted the memories related to it is none other than myself!" "Perhaps it''s because... that memory may have been invaded by some existence, or maybe that memory will change some of my views on you?" "Either way, there must be a reason behind it." The old woman''s words were filled with unparalleled confidence, which was trust in herself and her past self. Xia En couldn''t help but admire Jane''s mentality. Even though most of her memory about this incident has been erased, she is still willing to wait persistently in the [Federal Library] without wavering at all after hundreds of years. How can ordinary people do such a thing? However, Xia En was still very curious about Jane''s origins, so he asked. "Do you remember the names of your elders?" Jane replied: "Of course." "My father''s name is Jonas Medeiros and my mother''s name is Grace Vivian." "My grandmother''s name is Angel Vivian..." When he heard the name "Anqi", Xia En''s expression suddenly changed. "Angel Vivian?!" Although Xia En was not particularly impressed, he still remembered that he had met a genuine elf princess on the Emerald Island in the past. Her name is An Qi! Angel and Laila should be considered cousins. And the reason why Xia En cares so much is... If Angel is still alive, doesn''t it mean that there is a possibility that Laila is still alive? Thinking of this, Xia En asked with a slightly anxious tone. "Is your grandmother, Angel Vivian, a princess of the elves?" Surprise flashed through Jane''s cloudy eyes again: "Yes." "But... how did you know about this?" "It is said that my maternal grandmother remained anonymous for a long time, and even my father only knew her identity as an elf princess when we parted ways..." Shane noticed the emphasis in Jane''s words. "When they were separated? Why did your father and grandmother separate?" Jane shook her head and said, "I don''t know either." With a wry smile on her face, she confessed: "Actually, I have never met my grandmother and my mother." "Everything about them was relayed to me by my father." "However, my father was just an ordinary human being, so he passed away long ago." Xia En looked surprised: "It''s actually like this..." This situation was something he had never expected. Jane didn''t seem to want to continue this topic, so she cut to the chase and said, "In my only remaining memory, a certain existence asked me to wait in the [Federal Great Library] for a human who has close ties with the elves." "And you are the one I want to wait for." "After waiting for you, you will bring three incomplete sentences, and I will interpret them for you." "Do you know...what those three sentences are?" "...Three sentences?" Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En''s mind, and he remembered the messages on the last page of [Laila''s Magic Notes], and read them out slowly. "[The history you think...may not be the real history...]" "[What is observed...cannot be changed...]" "[But, you can cheat...]" These three messages had puzzled Xia En for a long time. They were full of the Riddler''s annoying aura, and they were difficult to decipher because of the incomplete information. So Xia En had to bury them in his heart for the time being. Now after being reminded by Jian, he poured out these three sentences. After listening, Jian sighed quietly: "It seems that my guess is indeed right." Shane asked: "What guess?" "When I was a child, my father said that my mother and grandmother did not die, they just went to places far, far away." Jane said in a complicated tone: "I used to think that my father said that just to coax me, but now that I think about it, maybe it was more than just a white lie." "ah?" Xia En was stunned, a little in disbelief: "You mean, they are still alive?" Jane nodded: "Based on my research and investigation over the years, it should be like this." Xia En was a little confused for a moment. If Angel and Jane''s mother were still alive, why did they leave the still young Jane? So, where are they now? And, what does this have to do with these three sentences? Jane''s eyes seemed to have the power to see through people''s hearts, and she explained softly: "The history we think of is not necessarily the real history." "This sentence is easy to understand." "History is recorded by people, so there will inevitably be some deviations in the process of recording and inheritance." "Some things have different interpretations in the eyes of different people." "And the best supporting example for this statement is... the [Ancient Dragon Extinction] incident." "You''re right...wait a minute, [Ancient Dragon Extinction]???" Xia En still agreed with Jane''s first few words, but when he suddenly heard the last sentence, he couldn''t help but look confused. How are the two connected? Xia En''s brain was spinning rapidly, and he quickly thought of a possibility and murmured. "Could it be that [the ancient dragon is extinct] actually has a hidden agenda?" "That''s right." Jian said with great certainty: "In other words, the [ancient dragon is extinct] in the eyes of the world is just a huge fallacy." Xia En had calmed down by now and asked seriously. "Why do you say that?" "In the eyes of the world, the reason why we came to the conclusion that [the ancient dragon is extinct] is because there has been no trace of the ancient dragon in the Seven Seas for many years." "But in fact, this does not mean that all ancient dragons have died out." Jian analyzed it layer by layer. "Just like Federal Chief Wayne Moriarty, although he has not appeared in the Federation for a long time, few people think that he is really dead." Xia En has a different view on this: "But if there is no longer an ancient dragon in the Seven Seas, wouldn''t it be no different from extinction?" "You should take a longer view." Jane said: "In addition to the world where Qihai is located, there are many [secret realms] in the [Secret Sea]." "After years of federal investigation, it has been confirmed that there is a [secret realm] where a large number of ancient dragons live." "The shapes and bloodlines of those ancient dragons are the same as those of the ancient dragons in the Seven Seas, and they are even more powerful." "The entire population is extremely large and can be called prosperous." "That [Secret Realm] was named [Dragon''s Nest] by us!" Hearing this, Xia En''s eyes changed slightly and he murmured: "[Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm]?" Jane''s words were like waking up someone from a dream, causing Xia En''s thoughts to broaden instantly, and he thought of places he had never thought of before. "What you mean is that the ancient dragons on the Seven Seas are actually not extinct at all." "Just before a certain disaster struck, they all moved to the [Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm]?" Jane nodded: "Yes, that''s what I mean." Yes, since the dwarf tribe back then could migrate to the [Forge Secret Realm]. So why can''t the more powerful ancient dragon clan go to other [secret realms] to survive? Xia En''s mind suddenly became enlightened. Some of the doubts from the past disappeared like fog. And soon, he thought of a possibility. Since dwarves and ancient dragons are like this, what about... the elves? (End of chapter) Chapter 301 [Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual (Introduction)] Chapter 301 [Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual (Introduction)] Jane''s interpretation of this sentence seemed to open a door to a new world for Xia En, and his thoughts quickly diverged. Previously, due to rumors in the Seven Seas and the extremely rare status of the ancient dragon and elves races. Shane once thought they were extinct long ago. It wasn''t until Jane''s words that Shane realized another possibility - Back then, when faced with some kind of irresistible disaster, these two races did not fight head-on, but chose to escape! The destination of escape is the other [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea]. Give an inappropriate example. This is like the "Fire Project" in which a group of people took a spaceship to go to another habitable planet when the world was facing the end of the world in the previous life. Shane was naturally curious about how they came up with this plan and how they implemented it. But what concerned him more was that if this conjecture was true, wouldn''t it mean... Laila is still alive? Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but jump up and down. To be honest, after returning from the [City of Giant Woods] in history last time, he had already prepared the most pessimistic plan in his mind. After all, judging from the information that Shane had collected in the past. The enemy the elves faced was unprecedentedly powerful, and there was almost no possibility of victory. The disappearance of the elves in the modern Seven Seas proves "the defeat of the elves." So for a long time, Shane thought that he would never see Laila again. It was only now that Xia En had some hope again in his heart. At this moment, he also understood the meaning of "mother and grandmother went to a place far, far away" in Jane''s words. They are no longer in the same world, and there is still a [secret sea] between them. Isn''t that a very, very far away place? Soon, Xia En couldn''t help but ask again. "Then may I ask...what do the remaining two sentences mean?" After thinking about it, Jian said, "I''m not sure about the meaning of the last two sentences. I can only tell you my guesses, and you can just listen to them." "I wonder if you''ve ever heard of...the observer effect?" Xia En replied honestly: "I have heard a little bit." "When we observe something, we will inevitably have an impact on it." "Combining the first of the three sentences, it is not difficult to guess that the object being observed is ''history''!" Jane is worthy of being the eighth former member of the "Truth Society" in the "Truth Serial Number", and she speaks very logically. At the same time, she did not jump to conclusions, but said cautiously. "Then what this sentence means is that history cannot be changed after it is observed." "It''s just that the key is...who is this observer?" A little confusion appeared in Jian''s wise eyes: "Is it a specific person, the will of the world, or some other existence?" "Moreover, changing history...even in the [Truth Society], no one has truly achieved this." After hearing these words, Xia En''s heart was filled with turmoil again. The reason why Jane had some difficulty understanding this sentence and had so many doubts was simple. She did not personally travel back in time and subconsciously believed that "changing history" was impossible. But Xia En is different. He has gone back to the past more than once to communicate and get along with those historical figures in person. Therefore, Xia En felt more about this sentence and thought to himself. "The observed history cannot be changed..." "Does the observer here refer to myself?" "And the other meaning of this sentence is that history that has not been observed can be changed?" Since the world around Shane had not changed at all after these two returns, he once felt that everything he did was in vain. But after seeing this sentence, his thoughts changed slightly. And soon, Xia En thought of a verification method. He asked Jane: "Is there any information about the magic pattern master Carmen or the steam mechanic Thomas in the big library?" "Carmen, Thomas?" Jane was a little surprised when she heard these two names, but she didn''t ask any more questions, but said directly. "Yes, this is the [Federal Library]!" "Just a moment please." With that said, Jane walked out of the secret room and looked for relevant books for Xia En. Not long after, Jane came to Xia En with a thick stack of information and asked. "What do you want to know about them?" Xia En said bluntly: "Personal biographies and diaries are best recorded when participating in the [Congress of All Nations] held by the elves." Jane gave Xia En a meaningful look. An ordinary captain would not know that the elves held a [Congress of All Nations] in the past. In fact, Jane knows this because she has stayed in the big library for too long and has long memorized all the major events that happened in history. "It''s too inefficient for you to read it alone. I''m here to help you." As soon as she finished speaking, Jane''s eyes suddenly lit up with several indescribably complicated runes. As the runes rotated, the books floated into the air on their own without any wind. Immediately afterwards, the pages of each book began to turn by themselves, as if there were invisible hands, turning each page gently and quickly. At the same time, there was a faint light emerging from the ancient books. Does it feel like it''s being scanned? Jane even had the energy to explain to Shane: "This is a very simple little spell." I can search the texts in these books based on the information I want. "For the position of librarian, it should be considered very practical, right?" Xia En was secretly speechless. Although the administrator claimed that she was not good at fighting, if it were a real life-and-death fight, Xia En would not even have a chance of winning against her. In less than a moment, all the books fell back to their original positions and the light shrank. And Jane also closed her eyes, as if digesting the information obtained from the book. Soon, Jane opened her eyes, and silver light flashed from her eyes. "Found it." She took out a book from the stack, turned it to one of the pages, and handed it to Shane. "This book is called ''My Friend Carmen''. It is a biography written by his friend. It records his experience in the [Congress of Nations]." Shane''s eyes fell on the yellowed pages of the book. [Undoubtedly, the most important turning point in Carmens life was seeing the magic patterns used by the elves during the Conference of All Nations. [At that time, Carmen was deeply amazed and shocked by the beauty of this technology, and made up his mind to start from scratch and enter this new field. To be honest, several other companions and I were not very optimistic about this decision, so much so that Carmen himself was shaken, but he finally chose to stick to it. [Afterwards, according to Carmen himself, just when he was about to give up, he seemed to hear the persuasion of a man in black robes. [He said, "How will you know if you don''t try?"] [It was precisely because of these simple words that gave Carmen the courage to persist. However, in the end, he did not know the identity of the man in black robe and could not thank him in person. [This also became one of Carmens regrets in her later years. [Perhaps, that is the revelation of fate...] Jane looked at Xia En with a strange look in her eyes and said. "Not only this "My Friend Carmen", but also a mysterious man in black robes appeared in Thomas''s diary." "Moreover, after Thomas became famous, he launched a missing person notice in the Southern Continent, saying that the man in black robe had changed his life and was his life-long benefactor. He should repay him well." The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly: "Is there such a thing?" If you think about it carefully, with the character Thomas showed during the contact at that time, it is really possible for him to do such a nonsensical thing. But after hearing this, it no longer makes much sense whether or not to read Thomas''s diary. Because both Carmen and Thomas obviously still remember themselves! This is enough to prove- History has been changed! Xia En was very excited. Although the magnitude of this change was not large and it did not affect the final result, the mere act of "changing history" is a feat! After thinking deeply for a moment, Xia En had some vague guesses about the "unobserved history". Before going back to the past, he only knew that Carmen and Thomas later became masters of magic patterns and developers of [Heart of Steam], but he did not know the specific process. And his actions made him an important turning point in the lives of these two people. In the original history, this is probably something that has never happened. "But what does the last sentence ''can be deceived'' mean?" One question was solved, and another one followed. Fortunately, there is Jane beside Xia En. This old woman who had lived for a long time had obviously seen something, but she was considerate and did not ask questions, but answered. "I think these three sentences should be read together." "The history we think may not be true history, but false history is not necessarily meaningless." "For example, [the extinction of ancient dragons] may have successfully deceived certain entities, causing the disaster that should have come not to come." "The disappearance of the elves may have a similar reason." Xia En chewed these words silently. He felt that there was some truth to Jane''s guess, but it might not be Laila''s real intention in leaving these three sentences to herself. No matter what, just this conversation with Jane made Xia En feel that his trip was worthwhile and fruitful. The goal of coming to [Liu Li Island] this time has been more than half accomplished. However, Xia En did not forget his other purpose of coming to the [Federal Library]. "Ms. Jane, is there any spell in the Great Library that can realize material transmission and personnel transmission between two [secret realms]?" Hearing Xia En''s request, Jane''s face flashed with surprise. "You really asked the right person." "Actually... my main research direction in the [Truth Society] was the connection between different [secret realms]." Her expression quickly became serious: "First of all, I have to ask you, is the [Secret Realm] you want to connect to far from the [Seven Seas World]?" Facing Jane who was in a serious state, Xia En felt a little frightened for no reason, and answered honestly: "It should be considered relatively far." "Then conventional methods won''t work." Jane showed the research attitude of a master in the field of [Secret Realm] and said eloquently: "Generally speaking, for short-distance [Secret Realm], it is most practical to directly cut a crack and establish a portal." "But if it is a long-distance [Secret Realm], you must first set up an [Anchor Point] at the target [Secret Realm]..." Two hours later. Xia En held on to the wall and left the secret room dizzy. He felt like he was back in college, taking a cutting-edge course taught by a professor, and moreover, he was not in his major! Not falling asleep within three minutes was already the result of his amazing willpower. Fortunately, such efforts are not without rewards. [You have been taught by Jane Vivian! [Acquisition Skill: Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual (Getting Started)! Considering that Xia En had not studied the relevant [Secret Realm] knowledge in depth, Jane deliberately chose a relatively simple teleportation ritual. In Jane''s words, this is a ritual arrangement method that even orcs can learn! However, the ritual itself is simple, but the materials required are not simple. In the simple list, seven out of ten materials were unknown to him, and some of them he had never even heard of. As you can imagine, their prices will not be cheap. Especially on a prosperous island like [Liu Li Island] where land is at a premium, some products may be even more expensive! This made Xia En feel a little worried about his wallet. To be honest, Xia En hasn''t had a few decent incomes since the [Magnetic Sea Area]. Before boarding [Liu Li Island], he scuttled two vampire warships, but he had no time to search them. "That''s all my money..." The more Xia En thought about it, the more distressed he became, so he charged this debt to the vampire again. "In case the Golden Dragon Coins are not enough, we can only sell the supplies in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "Those novel species and the seeds in the [Ember Treasure] can also be exchanged for the Federation''s merits..." Xia En was just thinking about how to make money when he saw Daisy and her brother walking up to him. "Captain Shane, what is your relationship with Ms. Administrator?" Daisy stared at Xia En with curiosity, and glanced at the secret room behind her. She had long been interested in the secret room that existed in the urban legend of [Liu Li Island], but she had never seen the secret door open. Who would have thought that Xia En''s arrival this time would easily achieve this small goal. "What''s the relationship?" Xia En was a little strange. He didn''t know why the siblings were curious about this kind of thing, but he still said. "It''s probably a relationship that we have known each other for years." Alessio''s eyelids twitched and he couldn''t help complaining: "Friends at the end of the year?" "Isn''t it a bit too many years to forget?" (End of chapter) Chapter 302 【Chamber of Commerce Alliance】【Internal Auction】 Chapter 302 [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] [Internal Auction] "No matter what the relationship is, it''s my personal matter, right?" Shane glanced at Alessio slightly coldly and said. He was a little puzzled by the abnormal attitude of the Daisy siblings. Didn''t he just say a few more words to Jane? Why did the two siblings react so much? Daisy also realized that the behavior of the two of them had no "sense of boundaries", so she said sincerely. "Sorry, we were too abrupt." "But do you really not know the reputation of the administrator lady?" Shane looked strange. He knew much more than the Daisy siblings. He knew that Jane was a half-elf, that she was the granddaughter of the elf princess Angel, and even that she had been the [Lady Serenity] of the [Truth Society]. But how can such a thing be said casually? Xia En could only ask: "What kind of reputation?" "She is already a legendary figure on our [Liu Li Island]." Daisy looked carefully in the direction of the secret room, as if she was worried that Jane would hear her words. "Honestly, I have never seen the administrator lady be so enthusiastic about anyone, so I find it strange." "By the way, you''ve heard of the prophecy of the second world-destroying flood, right?" "The S3 document was translated and cracked by the management lady!" Shane nodded: "Oh, I know." With the identity of "Mrs. Serenity" of the "Truth Society" at the forefront, translating such confidential documents does not seem to be a strange thing for Jane. The look in Daisy''s eyes became even stranger. Isnt Captain Shane too over-hearted? But at this time, Xia En didn''t want to dwell too much on this topic, so he simply spoke directly. "I want to purchase a batch of special extraordinary materials. I wonder if you have relevant channels?" "If the price is right, I''m willing to give you a reward as a thank you gift." Xia En is not familiar with the place on [Liu Li Island]. Instead of looking around like a headless fly, it is better to rely on the "local snakes" of Daisy and brother, and the efficiency will be greatly improved. When it came to serious matters, Daisy''s expression became serious and she asked. "Do you just want to buy, or do you have other goods to sell?" Both sell and buy. Xia En also thought clearly now. With his current net worth, it is obviously unrealistic to buy all the materials on this list. Moreover, the disaster of the second great flood is imminent. The supplies in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are just hoarding. It is better to liquidate them as soon as possible and use them to upgrade the hulls of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star]. Before heading to [Leng Lie Sea], improve his overall quality as much as possible. If there are ready-made resources, we should use them. Xia En didn''t want to end up in a sad situation where "the person dies but the money hasn''t been spent yet". Hearing this, Daisy touched her smooth chin and thought: "In that case, the internal auction held by the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] should be more suitable for you." "[Chamber of Commerce Alliance]? Internal auction?" This was the first time Xia En heard this statement, and he couldn''t help but feel curious. Daisi did not hide anything and explained: "The commercial trade of [Liu Li Island] is extremely developed. Even the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] cannot fully capture the transaction share of these ports." "Therefore, several chambers of commerce of different sizes were born on [Liu Li Island]." "However, the relationship between various chambers of commerce is not hostile. In addition to a certain degree of competition, they have established in-depth connections and cooperation." "The alliance formed by these chambers of commerce is the [Chambers of Commerce Alliance]." "In fact, many of the rules in various chambers of commerce in the Seven Seas are now formulated by the [Chambers of Commerce Alliance]." Xia En suddenly felt like he had learned a lot. In a highly developed commodity economy, it will indeed trigger changes in systems and organizations. It can only be said that [Liu Li Island] is indeed one of the most prosperous islands in the Federation, and there is always something new to do. Later, Xia En asked: "What about the internal auction?" "Because certain precious commodities are scarce and in short supply on the Seven Seas." "As insiders of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and big figures in the federation, they often have the right to make acquisitions first." Thats where the in-house auction came from. "These products will only enter the market after being rejected and will be open to general customers." Daisy''s attitude was very calm: "Only those with permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] are allowed to participate in this kind of auction." Xia En looked astonished, not too surprised by this. Privileged classes will exist in any era. The internal auction of the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] is prepared for these people. Thinking of this, Xia En was a little confused: "But I don''t have permission from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], how can I participate in this auction?" Daisy smiled slightly and said: "Actually, my family has some roots in [Liu Li Island], and we happen to have a few seats to participate in the internal auction." Hearing this, Xia En had no reaction, but Alessio looked at Daisy in surprise. "Sister? You..." The seats in the internal auction are not a piece of cake, even for their family, they are not something that can be borrowed casually. Daisy shook her head at Alessio, interrupting what he wanted to say. Alessio could tell from the sister''s eyes that she was serious, so he had no choice but to close his mouth unwillingly. Xia En raised his brows, but did not show any expression of joy, but instead felt a little wary. "Then may I ask, what is the price for borrowing this seat?" He is no longer the innocent and innocent boy he used to be, and he does not believe that there is any kind of kindness in the world without any reason. Especially the matter of borrowing the auction seat has obviously gone beyond the relationship of "Carles'' friend". Daisy was not angry about Xia En''s vigilance, but said it bluntly. "You can think of this as my investment in you on behalf of our family." "I am very optimistic about your future development and am willing to provide you with some help within my ability." "And if our family is in trouble in the future, please come to our aid." Xia En''s expression became even weirder: "Are you...sure?" Is this the request to lend a seat at the auction? This constraint can be said to be extremely loose, and it even depends entirely on Xia En''s own moral level. If he were a wolf-hearted scumbag, he might bite Daisy''s family back. Daisy nodded solemnly: "I''m sure." In fact, there is a deeper reason why Daisy made this decision - Not only did Carles believe in Shane, but even the administrator of the big library treated Shane differently. Daisy thought that her vision and structure were inferior to the two of them. Because of this, she was willing to trust the judgment of these two people. Since both of them value Xia En so much, if they add a little more chips, the loss won''t be too ugly, right? "If you still don''t believe it, why not make a contract and a letter?" "No, no need." Although he didn''t know what Daisy was thinking, Xia En did feel her sincerity and said directly. "Since you choose to trust me, I will naturally not let you down." After finalizing the general direction of cooperation, Xia En began to confirm many details of the auction. "Please prepare a warehouse where I will place the goods to be sold." "Beyond that, I hope you can help me contact a reliable federal official, preferably the staff member responsible for paleontology and emerging species." "I have important information and a batch of new species to exchange for achievements." Soon, in the face of Shane''s request, Daisy and Alessio also showed their shrewd and capable side. In fact, for being able to hold the position of captain in the waters near [Liu Li Island] at such a young age, this pair of siblings can already be regarded as the best among young people. Regardless of his figure, appearance, family background, or abilities, he is far ahead of his peers. Just comparing with Xia En, they looked a little lackluster. So much so that Daisy and both of them forgot that Shane was actually a few years younger than them. At the same time, the power of Daisy''s sister and brother''s family gradually came into play. All of Xia En''s needs can basically be met quickly. Some links that were easily stuck seemed to be cleared by an invisible hand and passed easily. If it were up to Xia En to handle it by himself, I don''t know how much time would be wasted. People have to sigh, the taste of power is indeed very wonderful. Only then did Shane know that Daisys full name was Daisy Moriarty! The family of their siblings is the Moriarty family! And the legendary chief of the federation was the first generation head of this family. No wonder Daisy''s tone was a little strange when she mentioned Wayne Moriarty earlier, and she even called him "old man". Come to think of it, the descendants of the Moriarty family probably have very complicated feelings about this elusive ancestor. On the one hand, they don''t want Wayne to be dead. But on the other hand, if Wayne is not dead, why not come to the family to say that he is safe? At least let their family members have an idea. This feeling of being neither up nor down is even more uncomfortable. However, this is a family matter of the Moriarty family, and Shane neither cares nor is he qualified to care. It didn''t take long. Xia En received his first meritorious service from the federal government. A full 500 points. This huge amount of money came from the intelligence provided by Shane to the Federation. Including the location of [Coral City] and [Ember Treasure], a detailed treasure map, and the specific situation in [Ember Treasure]. This is a decision that Shane made after careful consideration. In terms of profit, it would definitely be greater if he unearthed the treasure himself and then handed those ancient plant seeds to the Federation. But under the current situation, there was not enough time for Xia En to do this. Disaster is coming. The worst-case scenario is that after the disaster, the [Ember Shelter] is directly destroyed. Wouldnt it be a waste of effort? And according to that federal official. This contribution is just a "down payment" for intelligence. The Federation has special information transmission methods, and it is completely possible to directly notify the Federation Navy closest to [Coral City] to salvage it. After verifying the authenticity of the information provided by Xia En, the Federation will award another meritorious service based on the type and quantity of seeds in the [Ember Sanctuary]. This is already a more humane approach. Shane guessed that there might be something behind this that was the result of the Moriarty family''s operations. Not long after. Shane took the federal official to the warehouse. Just now, he brought more than a dozen unique animals and plants from the [Rhine Secret Realm] to the warehouse. In addition, there are also secret specialties like [Rhine Mine]. Xia En mainly wanted to estimate the value of these materials so that he could easily choose the main products for sale. The federal official is a capable woman with short black hair, black-rimmed glasses and an ordinary appearance. In the previous exchanges about [Ember Treasure], her mood has been very stable, she was not overly surprised, and she showed extremely high professionalism. Coupled with the recommendation of Daisy''s brother and sister, Shane has regarded her as a reliable partner, so he brought her to this warehouse. However, as soon as he entered the warehouse door and saw several small animals inside, the liaison officer''s eyes suddenly lit up and his face flushed with excitement. She quickly walked up to an animal that looked like a rabbit but had a pair of sharp horns. She moved her hands up and down, weighed it, and even seemed to have touched the rabbit''s bell. She muttered: "The hair is highly similar to that of an ordinary hare...the eyes are dark brown..." "The density of muscles and bones is about 1.5 times. The gravity environment of life is different..." "The reproductive system is sound...it is currently impossible to confirm whether there is reproductive isolation. It is best to conduct special tests..." The rabbit huddled up in a ball, its furry body trembling. It was like a little girl who had been stripped naked by a big man. She could only passively bear everything and looked very pitiful. Shane looked at Daisy next to him with a strange expression: "What''s wrong with her?" Daisy was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Actually, Sophie is quite normal." "It''s just that she used to be a researcher at the Institute of Biology, and she has a very high passion for these animals." While speaking, Daisy''s eyes fell on the things displayed in the warehouse. Just looking around, her eyes couldn''t help but flash with something special. These items may not be particularly exaggerated in terms of quality, but without exception, they are all things that Daisy has never seen before. This is very incredible. You know, Daisy has been helping out in the family business association since she was eight years old. In terms of knowledge about various goods and materials, it can be said to be a vast amount. But now these materials or creatures are all filled with a sense of strangeness and freshness. It looked somewhat similar to what she knew, but there was a more fundamental difference underneath. It''s almost like... The existence of another world. Daisy looked at Xia En with strange eyes, and her curiosity continued to expand. Where did these things come from? In her eyes, Xia En''s image became more and more mysterious. (End of chapter) Chapter 303 [Rhinestone Essence], smoke bombs and agents Chapter 303 [Rhinestone Essence], smoke bombs and agents Although Sophie, the federal liaison officer, somewhat lost her mind when facing these novel species. But she is a trained professional after all. Sophie quickly adjusted her mentality and got into working mode to evaluate these specialties of [Rhineland Secret Realm]. "Hmm... This kind of gem is fragile, loose in structure, and contains very little secret power." "Some are similar to the green grass-grade gemstones produced on [Gem Island]. Their ornamental value is greater than their use value. They can probably be classified as Class D commodities..." Sophie put down a green gem in her hand, turned to look at the several items of goods next to her, and commented on them one by one. "This kind of silvery sand is similar to the [Star Sand] on the Seven Seas, but it has a strange vitality. It also belongs to the category of D-level products." "There is also this wild boar-like creature. The meat is very firm and contains rich vitality. It is considered a good food." "If it undergoes large-scale domestication, it can be rated as a C-level product, but if not, it will only be a D-level product..." "The scales on a certain creature have considerable defensive properties and a special internal structure. They are of research value. They are grade C!" "Special herbal medicines, the specific efficacy can only be judged after testing..." I have to say that Sophie''s professional level is indeed excellent. You can judge the specific effects of many products just by weighing them in your hands. The efficiency is so high that it is jaw-dropping. On the side, Daisy explained to Xia En: "Sophie''s secret profession is a very niche [appraiser]. It is said that there are only a dozen or so people in the entire federation." "That''s why the goods can be identified so quickly." Xia En nodded clearly: "That''s it." The various secret techniques of the Mystic Path have long been infiltrated into the production and life of people in this world. It is normal to have such secret techniques of identification. As for the "C-level and D-level" in Sophie''s mouth, Xia En also learned about the general situation from Daisy. Due to the developed commercial trade of [Liu Li Island], the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] classifies most of the commodities to estimate the approximate value of the commodities. In fact, the supplies moved from the [Rhine Secret Realm] are generally only between C-grade and D-grade, with a few of the two or three B-grade products. To be honest, Shane was not surprised by this result. Although the products in [Rhine Secret Realm] are things that have never been seen in the Seven Seas, with the size of the Seven Seas, you can always find some materials with similar properties. To put it simply, there are many alternatives. There are no irreplaceable features. As a result, even if they are very rare, it is difficult to sell them at a high price. Just like on some remote and barren islands, unique varieties of food can also be grown, but after the costs of transportation, planting, etc. are superimposed, it will naturally become very expensive. But its all food. Why cant people go to islands with large food production to buy it? Fortunately, the products in [Rhine Secret Realm] have another huge advantage. That''s...a huge amount! The [Rhine Secret Realm] is incredibly large, and until now, Xia En''s exploration rate is only 9.5%. The richness of the products there astonished him. Coupled with the day-to-day development and collection of the two major races, the Moon Yong Clan and the Tree People, a large number of various products have been accumulated in [Rhine City]. Some products are even measured in tons. In fact, the products that Xia En moved to the warehouse this time were less than one percent of the inventory he had in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Even if the price of a single piece is not high, as long as the quantity increases, you can still sell it for a good price. This is the confidence that having the entire [Rhine Secret Realm] behind him brings to Xia En! Moreover, in addition to these ordinary goods, there was one product that made Sophie look surprised. "This is" In Sophie''s eyes, it was a material that looked like crystal and metal. It was gray-white and gave people a silvery texture. There are many small pores on its surface, which seem to be undulating slightly, like human breathing. It is pulling in the mysterious power around it every moment. Sophie took the initiative to ask Shane: "Mr. Shane, what is this?" Shane replied: "This thing, which I named [Rhinestone Essence], is mined from the deepest part of the [Rhinestone] veins." As he spoke, he pointed to the gray-white stone next to the [Rhinestone Essence]: "That''s the [Rhinestone]." "[Rhinestone]...[Rhinestone Essence]..." Sophie silently repeated these two names, touched the two stones at the same time, and threw two [Identification Techniques]. Xia En didn''t know what Sophie had identified, but he could see that her expression was visibly excited and she murmured to herself. "High secret power affinity, light weight, extremely high hardness and toughness, and no problem with ductility... This is simply a natural material for making relics!" "A+ grade! This is definitely an A+ grade!" "Although this [Rhinestone] is not as outstanding, it is equivalent to a degraded version of it." "But if the volume is large enough, there is also a wide range of application space, and it will be at least a B-level product." At this time, Sophie''s eyes suddenly became extremely hot when she looked at Xia En, and she said sincerely. "To be honest, the Federation is currently trying to mass-produce standard relics and standard magic pattern equipment." "So there is a huge demand for this kind of secret-friendly materials. Mr. Shane, I wonder how much inventory you have on hand?" After thinking about it, Xia En said: "There are about ten pieces of [Rhinestone Essence] of the same size." "As for [Rhinestone], there is at least about a ton in stock." "A ton..." Hearing this amount, Sophie couldn''t help but widen her eyes. This much material is almost enough to build a boat! In fact, Xia En deliberately reported this to Shaoli. Just some time ago, Sha Jingjing of the [Yongyue Clan] discovered another vein of [Rhinestone]. A large amount of stone is collected every day, and then transported to [Rhine City] by tree men with natural supernatural powers. However, the construction of [Rhine City] itself also requires a large amount of [Rhinestone]. In addition, Xia En also wanted to keep part of the [Rhinestone Essence] to upgrade the two ships, so he did not report all his wealth. Even so, Sophie was also shocked. She said in shock: "Mr. Xia En, you shouldn''t have emptied a [Secret Realm], right?" Based on Sophie''s knowledge, she can naturally guess that these goods come from a [Secret Realm] different from [Seven Seas World]. However, no matter how rich her imagination was, she never imagined that Xia En would be the master of a vast [Secret Realm]! Shane did not refute Sophie''s guess, but seemed to acquiesce to this statement. After all, it is essential to be on guard against others. Before he is strong enough, it is better not to directly reveal that he has mastered the [Rhine Secret Realm]. And Sophie''s guess is undoubtedly a good smoke bomb. Of course, Xia En didn''t need to break this point. "Sorry, Mr. Shane, I lost my temper." Sophie gathered her emotions and continued: "The share of this transaction has exceeded my scope of authority. I have to communicate with my superiors before we can proceed with the next step of negotiation." "Can you please be patient for a moment?" "certainly." Xia En added: "But I have a request for the next transaction." At this time, Xia En had become a big supplier in Sophie''s eyes. Her attitude couldn''t help but become respectful, and she asked: "What is the request?" Shane said: "In the subsequent transactions, I will not come forward myself, but this Miss Daisy will do it for me." "And please also allocate 3% of the gold dragon coins or meritorious deeds obtained from the transaction as Miss Daisy''s reward." Hearing this, Daisy was stunned: "Huh?" "Captain Shane? What are you..." Xia En said seriously: "Miss Daisy, this is the reward you deserve." "I believe that friendship belongs to friendship and interests belong to interests." "The transactions we are going to make in the future are far more than this one. If we have to trouble you every time in the future and want to keep things flowing smoothly, naturally we cannot let you suffer a loss." "Actually, I think 3% remuneration seems a bit low. You can increase it to 5% if you want." This is Xia En reciprocating love. Now that Daisy has shown her sincerity, there is no need for him to lose this reliable ally because of stinginess. Interpersonal communication, comings and goings, will gradually deepen the friendship. Unilateral taking or giving is unhealthy. In fact, if Xia En was allowed to negotiate with people from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], the transaction fees collected would only be even higher than this! And, on the other hand, Xia En doesn''t want to show too much publicity on [Liu Li Island]. Especially when it comes to goods transactions in the [Rhine Secret Realm], he wants to live in seclusion behind the scenes and hide his identity. After all, even Sophie could tell that these products came from another [Secret Realm]. There are always some more powerful people who might guess the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Federal officials are relatively trustworthy and reliable, but those members of the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance] may not be. In the face of interests, businessmen are often crazier than pirates! If the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm] is exposed, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble. This is why Shane asked Daisy to handle the transaction later. The Moriarty family itself is actually a solid protective umbrella, enough to block the prying eyes of many young people. Even if someone knew that the Moriarty family owned a [Secret Realm], no one would dare to challenge it. This part of the commission can be regarded as protection money given to the Moriarty family. This is of great benefit to both himself and the Moriarty family. In short, win-win! Daisy vaguely guessed Xia En''s intention, and nodded after thinking for a moment. "I see." She stretched out a slender hand and said openly: "Captain Xia En, happy to cooperate." Xia En held her hand: "It''s a pleasure to cooperate." Three days after that. Xia En stayed at Carles''s manor honestly, and occasionally took the crew to some facilities on [Liu Li Island] to hang out and sightsee. At the same time, he is waiting for Daisy to help him buy the materials on the list and sell the goods in the warehouse. The crew also needs entertainment. Living at sea for a long time can easily cause mental problems. At this time, it is actually necessary to take the crew to relax on [Liu Li Island] and enjoy the advanced cultural industries of [Liu Li Island]. In fact, not to mention Joey and the others, even Xia En was fascinated by the rich entertainment activities on [Liu Li Island]. Recorded videos played by projection relics, bustling theaters, and commercial streets that are beginning to take shape... So much so that Xia En thought for a moment that he had returned to the earth in his previous life. "It''s a pity that we don''t have mobile phones or computers." Xia En sighed secretly. When he first traveled through time, he was irritated for a while because he didn''t have a mobile phone, but later he gradually adapted to this kind of life. Of course, [Liu Li Island] also has developed custom industries. However, it would be inconvenient for Xia En and his crew to go to such an occasion. Another thing worth mentioning is. Carles'' popularity on [Liu Li Island] seems to be higher than Xia En expected. In addition to Daisy and her brother, Xia En also met several young people one after another, all of whom were highly curious about him. It seemed that he wanted to see who the man who had stolen Carles'' "heart" was. Think about it carefully. Needless to say, the particularity of Carles itself goes without saying. Her "father" is also the legendary strongman of the Federation - the captain of the [King], Gord. Carles'' status is certainly not low. In fact, judging from the size of this manor, Xia En has clearly realized this. Therefore, Carles must have known many children of big families on [Liu Li Island]. Some people may think that as long as they can get this cool and handsome armor, not only will their strength be greatly increased, but they can also get Gord''s support. But now, Xia En has taken away this opportunity, which will inevitably lead to the hostility of some people. However, as a piece of news spread, the attitudes of these family members became much calmer. That news is The [Black Swan] driven by Xia En fought its way out of the encirclement of five vampire warships before arriving at [Liu Li Island]. In the process, he even sank the [Black Rose] and [Wincheston] one after another! The place where these two ships sank is not far from [Liu Li Island], combined with the recent actions of the vampire ships. It is not difficult for people to judge that this news is true! If it were in ordinary sea areas, this kind of performance would be daunting. However, there are not a few ships with such a record on [Liu Li Island]. [Black Rose] and [Wincheston] are not particularly powerful warships. But Xia En, an outsider, could do such a thing on the first day he landed on the island. After all, it was not something ordinary people could do. Its obviously not enough to say that the reputation shocked [Liu Li Island], but at least it made many people remember the name of [Black Swan] and its captain. Just this evening. Daisy came to Xia En with a space ring and smiled. "Fortunately, all the materials you need are here." (End of chapter) Chapter 304 [Rhine City] Newborn, the resonance of the secret realm Chapter 304 [Rhine City] Newborn, Resonance of the Secret Realm "Miss Daisy, thank you for your hard work." Shane nodded and took the space ring handed over by Daisy. "Humph, it''s good to know that I worked hard." Daisy wiped her sweat and said with a hint of resentment: "You are very comfortable being the hands-off shopkeeper these days. You take the crew out to play every day." "I, on the other hand, not only want to participate in the auction, but also help you sell those goods..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that what he did was indeed a bit unkind. "But, if you are willing to spend one night with my sister, I won''t be able to forgive you." Daisy smiled charmingly and said half-truthfully. Judging from her appearance and figure, this statement is indeed very tempting and reveals an unspeakable charm. In the past few days, siblings Xia En and Daisy have gradually become familiar with each other. This hot-bodied woman seems to have grown up and dared to make such dirty jokes with him. Xia En smiled: "Do you have the courage? Are you really afraid that I will eat you?" A flash of panic and blush suddenly flashed across Daisy''s pretty face. Obviously, she likes to talk about sex, but in fact she may have almost no actual combat experience. "Okay, you have the guts to tease me, my sister." Daisy continued to speak harshly and joked: "I don''t care, your crew member is already a little restless, right?" Xia En also felt the resentful gaze of a certain silver-haired girl coming from behind him, so he stopped joking and said seriously. "Thank you for your hard work these days. You should have received your share of the merits and gold dragon coins, right?" "Of course." Daisy replied: "When did our Moriarty family ever do business at a loss?" To be honest, until now, Daisy still has a lot of surprise in her heart. She almost watched Xia En put batch after batch of goods into the warehouse, and it seemed that this was far from Xia En''s limit. If he wasn''t worried about investing too many goods at once, which would cause huge price fluctuations, Xia En could come up with more weird products. Looking at that posture, it really looks like a small [Secret Realm] has been hollowed out! Not to mention Shane himself, even Daisy, the agent, made a huge profit from this trade. The combined income from all the businesses she had done in the past was huge this time. Even their siblings'' evaluation among the Moriarty family has been improved as a result. It can be said that it has benefited a lot. In fact, Daisy also vaguely guessed that Xia En didn''t just loot a [Secret Realm]. Those living creatures can often only survive in special environments. If the [Secret Realm] was looted, I''m afraid these animals would be dying before they were transported to [Liu Li Island]. However, Daisy didn''t have any questions about Xia En''s secret thoughts, and she didn''t even show them. She just buried this guess deep in her heart. Just as Xia En said, there are still many opportunities for them to cooperate in the future! Why ruin their relationship over a little curiosity? It didn''t take long. Xia En sent Daisy away and counted the precious materials in the space ring. Looking at the extraordinary materials in this ring, Xia En felt both love and hate. Previously, when the first batch of transactions were completed, Xia En became suddenly rich, with total assets reaching 2,000 merit and 8,000 gold dragon coins. On [Liu Li Island], the purchasing power of merit is almost 10 times that of gold dragon coins, which is nearly 30,000 gold dragon coins. This money is a huge amount of money no matter where you put it. And this was even when Xia En still had a large amount of unsold goods. At that time, Xia En couldn''t help but sigh. No wonder so many novels like to write about the theme of traveling between two worlds. It is indeed easy to make a fortune by being a "bad guy" between the two worlds! It''s just that Xia En makes money quickly and spends money faster. [Liu Li Island] is one of the commercial and trade centers of the Federation. As long as you want to buy it, there are almost no goods that you cannot buy. Of course, the prices of some goods will naturally be ridiculously high. For example, Xia En learned from Daisy that someone actually sold a [Secret Realm] in this auction! Although it is a dilapidated small [Secret Realm] like the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], selling the [Secret Realm] itself is quite an exaggeration. This is something that some small places on the Seven Seas simply cannot imagine. Now, since Xia En has come to [Liu Li Island], he still has a large amount of funds at his disposal, so he must make good use of it. Therefore, in addition to the list given by Jane, Shane also purchased a batch of rare materials to be used to strengthen the [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan]. Not only that, the equipment and abilities of each crew member also need to be updated. For example, Joey''s staff and robe, props to strengthen An''s armor... The books and crowns of the Church of Storms are used to help Joey feel the authority of the Storm Goddess and gain stronger power. Skill books of various magic and martial arts - allow crew members to learn new fighting methods and face various situations more flexibly. The latest steam machinery, the new generation of [Steam Heart] - Feiya is as obsessed with such things as the dragon is with treasures. Even Xian Ge, who was still sleeping, and Miss Ghost, who usually had no sense of presence, received gifts from Xia En. A small dragon''s nest made of gold. A [Soul-fixing Pearl] that is said to make the soul body more stable. Plus the purchase of some furniture in the [Black Swan]. Although each item does not seem particularly expensive, when they are all added up, it becomes a huge amount of money that cannot be ignored. Otherwise, they always say that if you dont become a family, you dont know how expensive firewood and rice are! Now, even if Xia En is still working hard to make money these days, his total assets have dropped to 300 meritorious deeds and 1,000 gold dragon coins, for a total of about 4,000 gold dragon coins. It was even less than the deposit he had when he landed on [Liu Li Island]. However, Xia En felt that the money was well spent! At this time, the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] have begun to upgrade their hulls, but it will take a while to complete the upgrade. After the upgrade, Xia En''s overall quality will definitely soar again! It didn''t take long. After returning to his room, Xia En put one hand on his chest, and with a thought, a silver light door opened. Xia En stepped into it, and after feeling a little familiar dizziness, he came to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. As soon as he looked up, he saw the [Crimson Ancient Tree] that was growing more and more vigorously. Since this big tree absorbed the aftermath of Xia En''s promotion, its growth rate has skyrocketed again. In just ten days, he grew ten meters taller! Not only that, the texture of the bark of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] has also undergone subtle changes. From the original plant form, it becomes like some kind of special translucent crystal. You can even see through the epidermis the spreading and entangled tissues underneath like blood vessels. This seems to be a form that the [Crimson Ancient Tree] in [Blood Moon Secret Realm] has never had before. For this reason, Xia En also made a special trip to the [Federal Library] to check with Jane for information. Finally, he came up with a conjecture. It was as if Feiya''s bloodline had completed its transformation under the influence of [Crimson Reality]. So, wouldnt it be possible for this [Crimson Ancient Tree] to achieve atavistic evolution? Under the influence of the power of [Secret Sea], perhaps one day it can turn into the original [Crimson Mother Tree], causing bloodline suppression to most vampires. Of course, right now, the evolution of [Crimson Ancient Tree] has just begun. To reach the state that Shane expected, it may take at least decades or even hundreds of years of evolution. Even so, Xia En still has great expectations for this. In addition to the changes in the [Crimson Ancient Tree], Xia En looked farther away and saw a gray and white city that was very different from before. Compared with half a month ago, [Rhine City] has changed a lot. It has almost transformed from a hollow flower shelf into a liveable city. Of course, there is still a long way to go before it is officially completed, but it can already accommodate residents of both races. Considering that there might be huge races like tree people moving in in the future, Xia En made a request at the beginning of the planning and design of this city. That is...be big! The streets should be wide, and some important buildings should be accessible to tree people. Anyway, the [Rhine Secret Realm] is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no problem in setting aside a large area to build a city. The only people who had a harder time were the tree people who carried the stones and built the city. But compared to the previous life in [City of Giant Woods], although this kind of labor is hard, the days are more promising. It''s not like under the rule of the [Giant Wood God], you can live one day longer. Even if you linger on, you still feel that life is hopeless. Moreover, watching a home rise from the ground in their own hands is also a great sense of accomplishment for the residents living in [Rhine City]. Perhaps many years later, they can point to this huge city and say proudly to future generations. "This city was built in our hands!" It didn''t take long. Xia En''s arrival attracted the attention of the people of the Yongyue tribe next to the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. After all, this big tree has been regarded as the sacred tree of [Rhine City], and only very few people are allowed to get close to it. And the only one who will suddenly appear under the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is the great and benevolent Holy Son, the benefactor of the [Moon Yong Clan], and the [Lord of the Rhine] - Lord Xia En! "Lord Holy Son!" The first person to rush to Xia En''s side was none other than the lively Sha Jingjing. Her ears were raised high, her fluffy tail swung so fast that it seemed like an afterimage appeared, and she ran over quickly. If Xia En hadn''t stretched out a hand to stop him, Sha Jingjing might have pounced on him like a big domestic dog and washed his face with her tongue. Looking at Sha Jingjing''s sparkling eyes, Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. Such a beautiful girl, why did she become a husky? But think about it carefully. In the past, when she was on the Sand Island, Sha Jingjing, as a tribal saint, spent every day in fear and exhaustion in order to hunt for food and survive. But now that she has come to the [Rhine Secret Realm], the pressure of survival has been greatly reduced, and she does not need to make decisions on many things. Sha Jingjing''s life became more comfortable and her repressed nature was liberated, which led to such a big change. After thinking about this, Xia En understood Sha Jingjing. But at this time, Xia En took a closer look and found that her aura had increased a lot, and couldn''t help but be surprised. "Did you break through?" "yes." Sha Jingjing said happily: "I was running in the forest yesterday and found that I became stronger again! My training during this period must have taken effect." When she said this, the girl kept staring at Xia En intently. Those big watery eyes clearly seemed to be saying, "Praise me! Praise me!" Seeing this, Xia En had no choice but to stretch out his hand, touch Sha Jingjing''s head, and praise him at the same time. "Yes, you are great!" It has to be said that the Yongyue clan is indeed gifted. The path they took was not a regular secret path, but rather a rank path from an older era, and the improvement of the polyphonic songs was somewhat similar. Sometimes, it often only requires the accumulation of time and strength to be promoted, without the need to participate in the trials of promotion rituals. Sha Jingjing''s breakthrough obviously falls into this situation. Now, her combat power has firmly entered the fourth level, and she is considered a strong person in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. After enjoying Xia En''s "head-touching" reward, Sha Jingjing remembered one more thing and reported it excitedly. "By the way, Lord Xia En, the first newborn baby in [Rhine City] was born!" "Huh? Newborn?" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but look happy. The birth of a newborn is of great significance to the entire [Secret Realm]. This means that the population of [Secret Realm] has begun to gradually grow. With the population, there will be more labor force, and more territory can be opened up. Only then can they truly gain a foothold in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. "Yes, Aunt Martha was pregnant before moving to the [Rhine Secret Realm], and she just gave birth successfully this morning." Sha Jingjing continued: "By the way, Aunt Martha has another request." "What is the request?" Sha Jingjing hesitated for a moment, then said: "She hopes...the Holy Son can name her child." "In the past, it was the work of the high priest and the saint to give names to newborns." "But now, you are the master of this [Rhine Secret Realm]. I think no one is more qualified than you to name this first newborn." Xia En quickly understood what Sha Jingjing meant and nodded. "No problem, take me to Ms. Martha." Soon, Sha Jingjing brought Xia En to a house. "It''s the Holy Son!" "Martha! The Holy Son is here!" As Xia En walked over, the faces of the nearby Yongyue clan members showed expressions of excitement and aweXia En''s status in their minds was so high. Seeing Shane''s arrival, Martha, who was still lying on the bed and resting, immediately wanted to stand up and salute him. Xia En waved his hand: "You don''t have to be so restrained." Then, he looked at the baby in Martha''s arms and asked softly. "Is this child a boy or a girl?" "It''s a girl." "Then, let''s call her Index." When Xia En spit out this name, the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] on his chest beat suddenly. Then, an invisible wave spread. That seems to be... the resonance of the entire secret realm! (End of chapter) Chapter 305 The hidden danger of [Secret Realm] is that the beast tide is coming! Chapter 305: The hidden dangers of [Secret Realm], the beast tide is coming! When Shane said the name "Index", it was like throwing a pebble into the puddle. Invisible and illusory ripples began to ripple throughout the [Secret Realm]. Any creature with a keener sense of inspiration can feel the existence of these ripples. It seems that some kind of indescribable change is taking place in the [Secret Realm]. As the master of the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En has a deeper feeling about this. Something dawned on him. This ripple is the resonance between the matter of "naming a newborn" and the [Rhine Secret Realm]. This small matter alone would not have had an impact on the entire [Secret Realm]. But this matter is actually quite special. This is the first newborn of the Yongyue tribe in the [Rhine Secret Realm], and it was named by Xia En, the [Lord of the Rhine]. You know, in this world, the name itself has special power. Somehow, it was equivalent to Xia En helping the [Yue Ying Clan] to set up an [Anchor Point] in the [Rhine Secret Realm], which touched the will of the [Secret Realm]. To use a more fantasy term, it is the great road that fits this world. All in all, from now on, the fate of the [Moon-Yong Clan] will be closely linked to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. It also means that this race has officially become an ethnic group in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. At the same time, text flashed on the panel. [Exploration degree +3%! "Eh? Lord Holy Son..." After the invisible ripples dissipated, Sha Jingjing clenched her fists and said with some surprise. "It always feels like...my strength seems to have gotten a little stronger?" As a qualified warrior, Sha Jingjing has strong control over her body and is well aware of her own qualities. Thats why you can notice the changes in your body at the first time. Sha Jingjing was not the only one. Soon, the people of the Yongyue clan outside the house also heard exclamations of surprise. "I can jump higher and run faster!" "Holy Son, I actually made a breakthrough!" "What happened to that fluctuation just now? Is it a gift from Lord Xia En?" This statement was immediately affirmed by many tribesmen, and people agreed one after another. "Yes, that must be the gift of the Holy Son!" "Thank you to the Son! Praise the Son!" Such voices became more and more intense, even faintly carrying a hint of fanaticism. The corners of Xia En''s mouth trembled slightly, not knowing what to say. However, he probably guessed the reason why the people of the [Yongyue Clan] were strengthened to a certain extent. At this time, the [Yingyue Tribe] has been regarded as a member of the [Rhine Secret Realm], and will naturally receive some preferential treatment from [The Will of the Secret Realm]. The reasoning behind this is exactly the same as when Xia En was resisted by the [Secret Realm] in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. But at this time, Sha Jingjing clearly misunderstood something. She opened her eyes wide and murmured to herself. "Could it be that... giving birth to a child will make you stronger?" Soon, Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En and said excitedly: "Master Xia En, let''s have a baby too!" "I am in good health! The child I will give birth to will definitely be very healthy!" "Oh no, maybe we can have a few more children? At least five, six, seven or eight..." Hearing this, the corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched even more. Isnt this reason for having a child too hasty? Do you think children are wolf cubs who just need to be born and not taken care of? Even if Sha Jingjing is like this, Xia En can trick her into giving birth to a litter! Martha on the side couldn''t help but chuckle when she heard this. She used to be in Sha Jingjing''s tribe, so she has a very good relationship with Sha Jingjing. In Martha''s heart, she also hopes that Sha Jingjing can form a closer relationship with Lord Shengzi. On the one hand, they are both handsome and handsome, and they seem to be a perfect match. Sha Jingjing is a saint, and Xia En is a saint. In terms of status, they seem to be a match made in heaven. On the other hand, after the tree people moved into the [Rhine Secret Realm], Martha realized that other races would definitely enter the [Rhine Secret Realm] one after another in the future. As time goes by, conflicts, large and small, will definitely arise between different races. For example, the distribution of resources and territory. If Sha Jingjing can become Lord Xia En''s wife, perhaps Xia En will give preferential treatment to the [Yongyue Clan] because of this status. It''s better than those little vixens from other races climbing into the Holy Son''s bed first, right? Of course, Martha only dared to run these thoughts around in her head, but never said them out loud. Xia En didn''t know what Martha was thinking, but he just felt that basic education and physical education for the [Yongyue Clan] needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Xia En said: "By the way, I also brought a batch of books with me this time, which are very suitable for enlightening young children." "Sha Jingjing, help me send it to [Rhine College] later and keep it carefully." "This matter is very important, do you understand?" The so-called [Rhine College] is the college that Xia En ordered the people of [Yongyue Clan] to establish in [Rhine City]. Xia En, who has past life experience, knows the importance of education very well. Especially when the [Yongyue Tribe] is still in a quite barbaric and ignorant stage. -With the harsh environment of [Island of Sand], it is obviously unrealistic to require [Yueyue Clan] to achieve such an in-depth education. They are better at fighting than studying. The experience passed down from generation to generation by high priests and saints is often more inclined to actual combat and some basic common sense. This kind of education method is of course understandable in [Sand Island], but when it comes to [Rhine Secret Realm], it should be changed according to local conditions. Otherwise, after [Rhine City] has grown, the [Moon-Yong Clan] will still be in a barbaric state, which is obviously unjustifiable, right? In fact, during this period, Xia En purchased a large number of books from [Liu Li Island] for this reason. Sha Jingjing heard the seriousness in Xia En''s words and nodded heavily. "I understand, I promise to complete the task!" But soon, Sha Jingjing asked in a low voice: "Master Shengzi, do you really not want to consider having a child with me first?" The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched even more, but he felt that talking to her would encourage this trend, so he simply turned his head and said to Martha. "I have another gift for her." He looked at the little baby girl in Martha''s arms and said softly. "This little girl will become the starting point of a new chapter for the [Moon-Yong Clan] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "I wish you can thrive and bring new vitality to [Rhine Secret Realm]." As he spoke, Shane stretched out his hand and placed a branch with a faint blood color on Index''s body. This branch naturally comes from the [Crimson Ancient Tree]. Of course, this is a section of branch that the ancient tree took the initiative to break apart after Xia En and the [Crimson Ancient Tree] exchanged their wills. Since it is regarded as a sacred tree by the [Yongyue Clan], the [Crimson Ancient Tree] also wants to provide for this newborn. Do something. The body of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is full of vitality, and carrying its branches around will help Index grow and develop. Not only that, because this [Crimson Ancient Tree] has never drawn blood, there is no negative emotions or dirty secret power in its body. On the contrary, its branches also have the effect of calming and concentrating the mind. Even when necessary, this branch can block one or two weak attacks for Index. It can be said to be a very high-quality protective charm. "Hey~~~" The little baby opened his eyes curiously and ignorantly. Perhaps out of instinct, she stretched out her little hand and took the initiative to grab the branch. The next moment. The branch suddenly softened and wrapped around Index''s wrist like a small snake, as if it had a life of its own. That was the remaining will of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] at work. Index didn''t feel scared either, instead she started laughing. "Is this... a branch of a sacred tree?" Seeing this scene, Martha couldn''t help but look happy, excited and grateful. "Thank you, Lord Holy Son!" "I will never forget your kindness." Judging from her posture, if it weren''t for the fact that she had just given birth, she might have wanted to kneel down and bow down. Shane quickly stopped Martha''s movements and said, "It''s just a small thing." "You have a good rest. I have other things to do, so I''ll leave first." Soon, Xia En and Sha Jingjing walked out of the room. The nearby Yongyue tribe members were still looking at him with awe, admiration, and gratitude. What''s more, he knelt down to him, his face full of enthusiasm, and he muttered words such as "Thank you to the Holy Son" and "Praise to the Holy Son". Shane looked strange. At this moment, he also realized another problem in [Rhine Secret Realm]. With Xia En''s various constructions of [Rhine City] and various measures for [Yueyong Clan], his reputation is getting higher and higher. However this leads to [Yongyue Tribe] seems to no longer regard Xia En as a person or a king, but as a god! In particular, Xia En is also the prophesied Holy Son of the [Yongyue Tribe]. It further deepens this trend of "deification". To be honest, Xia En didn''t know whether this situation was good or bad. In the short term, this will indeed help promote the various orders of Shane and facilitate the construction and management of [Rhine City]. But if things continue like this, there won''t be anything like the "Xia En Cult" or the "Son of the Holy Son Cult" in the future, right? Xia En didn''t know how to deal with this situation for the time being, so he could only take it one step at a time. Just as Shane was thinking about these questions in his mind. The former high priest of the Moon Yong Clan hurriedly walked over, his expression very solemn. "Lord Holy Son, I have important information to report!" This high priest is called Culuo. When Xia En is not in the [Rhine Secret Realm], most of the internal affairs of the [Yingyue Clan] are handled by him and Sha Jingjing together. It''s just that Sha Jingjing is more suitable for fighting than management, so Kuro is the real manager of the [Moon Wing Clan]. Shane has always trusted him and regarded him as a reliable helper. At this time, Kuro''s serious attitude was certainly not without purpose, indicating that the situation was definitely unusual. Soon, Xia En and Qrow came to a place where no other people were watching and asked. "What happened?" "Lord Holy Son, we found a lot of traces of wild beast activity in the forest outside [Rhine City]." Although Kuro was old, he acted resolutely and quickly reported the situation to Xia En. "They seem to be gathering together for some special reason, and they are gradually approaching the location of [Rhine City]." "Not only that, but there is also unknown restlessness deep in the mine we previously excavated." "I speculate that in the near future, there will be a terrible beast wave sweeping [Rhine City]! We must prepare in advance!" After hearing these words, Xia En also looked a little solemn. "Tide of beasts..." This situation was something he didn''t expect. In fact, during this period, their exploration and expansion of the [Rhine Secret Realm] went extremely smoothly. Although there are also powerful native creatures in the [Rhine Secret Realm], under the joint efforts of the [Moon Chanting Clan] and the Tree People, most of the creatures can only be hunted. This is the advantage of intelligent creatures. If you know how to cooperate and use tools, you can hunt down beasts that are stronger than yourself. Of course, there are some native creatures, even rough-skinned and thick-skinned trees people don''t want to mess with. Fortunately, these powerful creatures often have their own territory. Clow has sent people to draw a map near [Rhine City] and marked the territory of these powerful creatures as a "danger zone". Just dodge to continue exploring. However, what is going on with this sign of a beast tide? Shane frowned in thought while his eyes swept across the panel. [Secret Realm Exploration Degree: 12.5%! He had a vague feeling that this tide of beasts might be related to the increasing level of exploration in recent days. After thinking carefully, Xia En came to a guess - The exploration and construction of the [Moon Ying Tribe] and the Tree People in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are creating a new home for them. But for the native creatures in the [Secret Realm], this is not the case. Their living space has been compressed, and they are hunted and felled by these "invaders". Just like the Indians on earth in the previous life, not only were their homes invaded, but their entire race was also massacred. Therefore, the native creatures in the [Secret Realm] will naturally resist the [Yueyong Clan] and the tree people. And this tide of beasts is the embodiment of this will to resist. In fact, these native creatures themselves are already part of the [Will of the Secret Realm]. If outsiders want to truly gain a foothold in the [Rhine Secret Realm], they must defeat this part of the will to resist and gain more recognition. This beast tide is most likely just the beginning. Whenever Shane''s exploration level increases to a certain level, he will encounter a different disaster. Thinking about it this way, it''s a bit like "Heavenly Tribulation" in a fantasy worldview? Xia En gathered his thoughts and said to Kuro: "I will purchase a batch of new equipment and send it to [Rhine City] as soon as possible." "You also need to start building some fortifications, increase your scouting efforts, and be ready for war at any time." Kuro said in a deep voice: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" The news of the beast tide brought a faint sense of oppression to Xia En. But he knew that panic was meaningless. Only step-by-step actions could get through this crisis. After handling this matter, Xia En returned to the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and began to arrange the ritual taught by Jian. (End of chapter) Chapter 306 Re-enter [The Furnace Secret Realm] Chapter 306 Re-entering [The Furnace Secret Realm] The most important purpose of Xia En''s trip to the [Rhine Secret Realm] was to set up the [Base] for the [Secret Realm Teleportation Orbit]. From the beginning, Xia En decided to set up the [Base] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. The reason is simple. [Black Swan] After all, on the sea, especially when Xia En is fighting the enemy, he will encounter some dangers more or less. Among the extraordinary materials that make up the ritual, some of them are unstable in nature. If it is attacked by secret power, the entire ritual may collapse or even explode! Xia En didn''t dare to use the materials he spent a lot of money to buy like this. In comparison, the safety level of [Rhine Secret Realm] is much higher. Not only is the environment relatively stable, but also the [Moon Winging Clan] and the Tree People Clan serve as bodyguards. Of course, the premise is to survive the coming tide of beasts. It can be said that [Rhine Secret Realm] is a strong backing for Xia En in his adventures on the seven seas, which is equivalent to his rear area. It is most appropriate to set up the [Base] for the transmission ritual here. As for what is the so-called [base]? In fact, it is easy to understand. Jane once gave Shane a simple and easy-to-understand metaphor. The teleportation between two [secret realms] is like the fishing line and hook thrown from a fishing rod. The location of the "fishhook" is naturally the target [Secret Realm], also known simply as the [Anchor Point]. The fishing rod and the person holding the fishing rod are the [base] for transmitting the ritual, used to control the specific direction and coordinates of the entire ritual. It is also the core of the entire ritual. If you want the entire transmission process to remain stable, the [Base] must be strong enough and provide sufficient energy at all times. Moreover, after the [Base] is built, there is not only one fixed [Secret Realm] that can be connected. Instead, you can teleport between any [Secret Realm] that leaves an [Anchor Point]! This is why this [base] is so expensive. To be honest, after Shane heard Jane''s metaphor, his first thought was - Isnt this the secret sea of ??fishing? Although you are in the [Seven Seas World], you can connect to many [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea]. Such a mysterious and mysterious ritual is stunning even from Xia En''s perspective. Whether it is design ideas or concepts, they are almost an era ahead of the ordinary Mysteries of the Seven Seas! This can''t help but make Xia En deeply admire Jane''s knowledge again. [Truth Serial Number N0.008] is indeed well-deserved! With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Xia En''s hands continued to move at all, carefully arranging the [base] of the ritual. The outermost and most basic material is a crystal called [Magic Crystal], which serves as the cornerstone of the teleportation circle. After that, specific rules must be used to fill the gaps in the [Magic Crystal] with another rare extraordinary material [Void Essence]. Supplemented by the incense of [cypress essential oil], [benzoin essential oil] and [helichrysum essential oil], the lines with special meanings are drawn... After about two hours of complicated work. A completely new ritual formation appeared in front of Xia En. The appearance of this formation is somewhat similar to that of an altar. It is in the shape of a disk with an upward bulge in the center. Complex and mysterious runes surround it like stars over the moon. Just by looking at it, you can feel a secret power that is so abundant that it is almost overflowingthis is the power of money! With so many precious materials used, no matter how ordinary the magic circle is, it will become extraordinary. Not to mention, the magic circle itself was designed by a master figure. It is completely normal for him to be in such a magical state. "call" Xia En let out a long breath, a look of exhaustion flashed across his face. Arranging such a ritual array requires a high degree of concentration and no mistakes. The most important thing is that according to Jane, the entire process of arranging this ritual must be completed by Xia En himself! This seems to involve some kind of occult concept, which can only be truly mastered by Shane after he has personally processed the materials and built the ritual. In other words, only in order to be recognized by this ritual. Otherwise, there may be some slight gap between Xia En and the ritual, causing some errors in his operation of the ritual. For ordinary rituals, such deviations are innocuous. But the nature of the [Secret Realm Teleportation Ritual] determines that its accuracy requirements are extremely high. Even if there is only a slight error, the final result may be completely different, and it may even be impossible to locate the target secret realm. Therefore, with Xia En''s strong mental strength, he couldn''t help but feel a little tired after setting up the ritual. But right now, the [Base] for the transmission ritual is still in the final step before it is fully completed. Xia Enqiang cheered up, took a deep breath, and then walked to the center of the [pedestal]. Then, he cut his fingertips and dropped a drop of blood on the platform in the center of the [Base]. Buzz The next moment. The entire [Base] began to tremble slightly. The light of various secret powers lit up from the edge of the ritual track and rushed towards the center of the ritual track quickly. It''s like a big net woven with colorful brilliance! The glow continued to surge like a tide, and different secret powers merged and intertwined in the collision, bursting out a magnificent spectacle that ordinary people could not imagine. And Xia En is standing in the center of these thousands of rays of light! Sha Jingjing, who was waiting not far away, was the first to notice the change in this direction. She couldn''t help but pricked up her furry ears and looked over with a vigilant look. "Xia Enda..." Seeing that bright light, Sha Jingjing''s words stopped abruptly. She couldn''t help but widen her eyes and looked at this scene in surprise: "What a huge secret power..." "As expected of the Holy Son!" Intuition told Sha Jingjing that those secret powers would not cause any harm to Xia En, so she had no worries. Not only Sha Jingjing alone, but also the tree people in the distance and the people of the [Yongyue Clan] all noticed the emergence of this huge secret power. From their perspective, they could not see the magical magic circle. They could only see the brilliant and colorful light under the majestic and huge holy tree. It was as if a sun had fallen under the [Crimson Ancient Tree], emitting powerful fluctuations of mysterious power, making the entire sacred tree even more mysterious, causing people to exclaim in low exclamations. Somewhere in [Rhine City]. The tree man Mumu looked at the [Crimson Ancient Tree] in glory with fascination and murmured. "Grandpa Iris, is this also a miracle?" At this time, Iris had already returned to a healthy state. The bark was rough but rich in moisture, and the branches were full of vitality. Iris sighed softly: "This is probably... a miracle that only belongs to Lord Xia En." at the same time. Shane had no idea what was going on in the outside world. He is concentrating on gathering the scattered secret power. Within a short time, under the constraints of the pre-arranged rituals, the numerous secret powers gradually calmed down and reached a relatively balanced state. The chaotic light also converged, condensing into a light group the size of a baby''s head. Seeing this, Xia En knew that the [pedestal] had been set up. He extended his palm towards the light group. Not only did the ball of light not dodge, but it took the initiative to rub Xia En''s palm, vaguely conveying some intimacy. This is the effect of the last step of bleeding. That is equivalent to a master recognition ceremony, allowing Xia En to truly have control over this ritual in terms of soul and blood. Even if an outsider comes to this [base], they cannot perform any operations. Even if you destroy the formation, you will suffer the backlash of the ritual. This small protective function was also designed by Jian casually. After completing the establishment of the [Base], Xia En was not idle. By this time, the construction of the teleportation ritual was only half completed. What Xia En has to do next is to leave an [Anchor Point] in the [Furnace Secret Realm]. In fact, this is by no means an easy task, and it is not even something that can be done with money. Because the two [Secret Realms] are not connected yet, it is impossible for Xia En to bring the materials from [Seven Seas World] to [The Furnace Secret Realm] to build an [Anchor Point]. Fortunately, Xia En has already thought of a solution to this problem. Soon, he opened the panel and thought about it. "Submarine, start!" "Choose [Anchor Point] - [Furnace Secret Realm]!" The next moment. The scene before Xia En''s eyes changed. With the incoming hot air, he re-entered the [Furnace Secret Realm]. Xia En was currently in an excavated cave, and the light from the [Lava Mine] reflected the scene in the cave. The scene in [The Furnace Secret Realm] is not much different from before. But soon, Shane noticed that there were several huge footprints not far from his hiding place. Obviously, those are the traces left by [Fire]. "You almost found me?" Xia En touched his chin and guessed: "I''m afraid this is also a manifestation of [Secret Will]''s hostility, right?" His luck in the [Forge Secret Realm] has always been very bad, which is in sharp contrast to the situation in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. To say that there is no influence of [Secret Realm Will] is obviously to deceive oneself and others. "Looks like I have to find a safer place next time." While Xia En was thinking this, he followed the path in his memory and walked in the direction of the [Warhammer Tribe]. In fact, this is not the second time he has come to the [Furnace Secret Realm]. After defeating the [Fierce Lizard King] that time, Xia En entered this [Secret Realm] one after another. Among them, he also went back to the [Warhammer Tribe] to explain that he did not die in the battle, but was just "cultivating in seclusion." Xia En''s victory over the [Fire Lizard King] shocked all the dwarves in the [Warhammer Tribe] - no one in their tribe had been able to kill a [Fire Lizard King] for at least decades. As a result, Xia En has undoubtedly become the number one warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe], with extremely high prestige. With such a high reputation, Xia En naturally wanted to take advantage of it. His plan to leave an [Anchor Point] in the [Furnace Secret Realm] is also related to this. This cave is not too far from [Warhammer Tribe]. Not long after, Xia En walked into the larger underground cavity. "Brother Bronzebeard, you are back!" When a young dwarf saw Xia En, he immediately waved and greeted excitedly: "By the way, the patriarch seems to have something to do with you!" "Go find him quickly!" Xia En nodded calmly: "Okay, I''ll go right away." He walked quickly towards the cave where the clan leader was. Along the way, the dwarves Xia En met all looked at him with awe and admiration. The living conditions in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are harsh. Therefore, the dwarves have a strong admiration for the strong, and the strong have a particularly high status in the tribe. Not to mention, Xia En defeated the [Fire Lizard King] on his own before, saving the [Warhammer Tribe] from being destroyed. Such achievements have made him a hero in the eyes of the dwarves! It can even be said that as long as Xia En wants to, he can become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] at a moment''s notice. However, when Xia En thought about it, he could be the patriarch, but it was not necessary. On the one hand, he is not the real "Bronzebeard Warhammer" after all, and there may be a risk of being exposed as time goes by. On the other hand, Xia En does not have that much energy to manage an entire [Warhammer Tribe]. It is impossible for him to use every [Sneak] opportunity in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Instead of being a dedicated patriarch, it is better to be an agent behind the scenes and make decisions at critical moments. While the thoughts in his heart were ups and downs, Xia En had already walked into the cave of the patriarch Hope. And as soon as he entered the cave, he saw someone he didn''t expect. "Bronzebeard!?" Kuhl, who had a beard, seemed startled, and his face turned pale: "Why are you back?" Xia En chuckled and said, "What? Can''t I come back?" Kull waved his hands in panic and said, "I...I didn''t mean that." Shane was actually not surprised by Kuhl''s reaction. He had already guessed that Bronzebeard''s death was probably inseparable from Kull. When facing him, Kull will inevitably have a guilty conscience. Furthermore, at this time, Xia En has become the number one warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe], and his strength and status are much higher than Kull. In Kull''s heart, he was afraid that he would be both afraid and tormented. And this is exactly what Xia En wants to see. Compared to killing Kuhl directly, living in fear every day is a greater punishment for him. And in fact, Kuhl is also a very important part of Shane''s plan. Therefore, Xia En did not take the initiative to expose Kuhl''s previous conspiracy, but pretended to be ignorant and allowed Kuhl to think wildly. At this time, he waved his hand and said, "I know you didn''t mean that." He turned to look at Hope beside him, changed the subject and said: "By the way, patriarch, I heard someone said that you have something to do with me?" Hope saw the expressions of Shane and Kull, but didn''t say anything more, but nodded in response. "Yes, there is indeed something very important." Shane asked: "What is it?" Hope looked serious and said: "The Savage Ax Tribe is about to go to war with us!" (End of chapter) Chapter 307 Calling the name of [Rhine]! Chapter 307 Calling the name of [Rhine]! "Barbarian Ax Tribe? Starting a war?" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. From these several experiences of entering the [Forge Secret Realm], he had some understanding of the situation near the [Warhammer Tribe]. I know that there are three tribes of different sizes distributed around the [Warhammer Tribe]. They are [Barbarian Ax Tribe], [Gushan Tribe] and [Yang Yan Tribe]. Among them, the comprehensive strength of the first two and [Warhammer Tribe] is not much different. They are both small "bronze-level tribes." The scale of the [Sunfire Tribe] is very large. The total population of the tribe is almost three times that of the [Warhammer Tribe]. It can be regarded as a "Silver Level Tribe" in the [Forge Secret Realm]. As for the conflict between the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and the [Warhammer Tribe], in fact, it is not just a matter of a day or two, but has existed for decades. A hundred years ago, these two tribes were one family, and the heads of the two tribes were even brothers. However, due to some conflict that cannot be verified now, the two clan leaders turned against each other and eventually split into two tribes, the Barbarian Axe and the Warhammer. Since then, there have been frictions and struggles, large and small, between the two sides. But what makes Xia En strange is. Obviously the combat power of [Barbarian Ax Tribe] is similar to [Warhammer Tribe], and even [Warhammer Tribe] has a strong man like themselves who can defeat [Fire Lizard King]. If a war really breaks out, even if they can defeat the [Warhammer Tribe], they will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties. [Barbarian Ax Tribe] Why did you suddenly decide to start a war? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s doubts, Hope explained: "With the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] alone, naturally they don''t have the courage to start a war directly." "But it is said...this time they have received support from the [Yangyan Tribe]." "Even the number one warrior of the [Yang Yan Tribe], Bakulie Yang Yan, will join the battle as a reinforcement." Xia En frowned slightly and murmured: "The support from [Yang Yan Tribe]..." At this time, he also had a certain understanding of the various titles in the dwarf tribe. The so-called "first warrior" is both a title and a position, specifically referring to the strongest person in the tribe. The participation of the first warrior in the battle itself represents the importance that [Yang Yan Tribe] attaches to this battle. However, Xia En couldn''t help but be curious. [The Wild Ax Tribe] went to war with the [Warhammer Tribe] because of their past grudges. Why did [Yangyan Tribe] choose to intervene? Is it simply to expand power and accommodate more people? Shane expressed his doubts directly to Hope. Hearing this, Hope suddenly said: "By the way, you have lost part of your memory, no wonder you have forgotten this matter." He led Xia En out of the cave and pointed to the huge furnace in the center of the underground space. "Each tribe will have its own natal furnace. If you look carefully at the height of the furnace, what can you see?" Shane followed Hope''s finger, observed carefully, and soon saw - Above the huge furnace, there are some strange lines, which are like carved murals and totems used in the barbaric period, revealing an ancient and mysterious temperament. However, no matter what it is, it has very obvious flaws. In other words, it is just a small part of a huge whole. "That is our ancestral totem." Hope looked at the lines and said with reverence: "According to legend, our dwarf family are not actually the aborigines of this world, but migrated here from another world." "The totems of our ancestors are the key to our ability to gain a foothold in this world." "The way it used to resist the attack of [Fire Lizard King] was the effect of the ancestral totem. In addition, it also has many magical abilities." At this point, Hope couldn''t help but sigh. "It''s just that because it existed so long ago, the power within it is gradually passing away." "I''m afraid it''s for this reason that the [Yangyan Tribe] is determined to attack us, right?" Xia En touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face. After hearing these words, he finally understood the origin of the dwarves in the [Forge Secret Realm], as well as some deeper secrets. Moreover, Shane quickly realized something and asked. "You mean...the reason [Yangyan Tribe] took action was because of our ancestor totems?" "That''s right." Hope nodded and said: "In the history passed down orally in the clan, the original ancestral totem should be complete." "But due to an unknown incident, the ancestral totem was torn apart, and finally became part of the destiny melting pot of each dwarf tribe." "In this case, of course there will be people who want to make the totem complete and make the dwarves great again." "At the same time, it is also to strengthen my tribe." "It is said that in those more distant places, tribes have collected more than a dozen pieces of ancestral totems and developed several new uses of ancestral totems." Hope smiled bitterly: "Actually, even I have had such an idea. Unfortunately, my talent is too limited." Then, he looked at Xia En expectantly, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he murmured. "But, if you have the blood of the God of War, maybe you can..." "Blood of the God of War?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What is that?" This was the first time he heard this statement. "Originally, these secrets should have been told to you after you became the clan leader, but now, we don''t have much time left." Hope said seriously: "Among the first batch of dwarves who moved into this world, the powerful blood of the God of War flowed in their bodies, which gave them great strength, strong recovery ability, and innate fighting ability." "However, as time goes by, the number of dwarves with this war-god''s blood becomes fewer and fewer." "In other words, the blood in our bodies has fallen asleep and the power cannot be manifested." "And the reason why you were able to defeat the [Fierce Lizard King] must be because you awakened the power of the blood of the God of War at the critical moment of life and death." "Perhaps your amnesia was also caused by the impact of this force." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately understood that this was Hope''s misunderstanding! Where does he have the blood of the God of War? The reason why he can burst out with such strong combat power is entirely due to the numerical values ??and mechanism brought by [Projection Body] - oh no, it is sweat and hard work! However, Shane was also happy to see Hope have such a misunderstanding. Otherwise, his rapid improvement in strength would be difficult to explain with common sense. At the same time, Kull on the side also heard Hope''s story. When he heard words such as "after becoming a clan leader" and "blood of the God of War", the face of the bearded dwarf became paler to the naked eye. The whole person''s demeanor became a little depressed. Even when facing Xia En''s casual glance, his eyes would dodge. Shane vaguely guessed what Hope meant by letting Kuhl hear these words. The old patriarch may have guessed some of Kull''s thoughts, so he wanted to use these words to completely make him give up. At the same time, it is also a relatively gentle way to eliminate the conflicts between the two. Although Kuhl will be sad in the short term, it will be a good thing in the long run. After all, Kull is also a member of the Warhammer tribe and a very good craftsman. From Hope''s point of view, this approach is undoubtedly a wise choice - it can be said to be the so-called "wisdom of old people", right? Shane saw Hope''s thoughts, but did not say more on this topic, but continued. "Let''s not talk about the blood of the God of War for now, I still feel a little strange." "How could [Yangyan Tribe] assist [Barbarian Ax Tribe] at this time?" "With their strength, they should have been able to defeat us before, right?" Unlike the Barbarian Ax tribe, which sits on equal terms, the Yangyan tribe is a silver-level dwarf tribe, and its strength is far superior to that of the Warhammer tribe. In Xia En''s opinion, the time they chose to start the war was a bit too coincidental. Hope nodded: "That''s right." "There are actually many reasons behind this." "First of all, the terrain of our world makes it difficult to implement large-scale long-distance travel and marching operations. No matter how strong the [Yangyan Tribe] is, the range of radiation is actually limited." Xia En understood: "That''s true." There are no flat plains in [The Furnace Secret Realm], only large and small, rugged tunnels and caves. It''s not that it''s impossible to pull out a large army to start a war, but it''s quite difficult. This is also the reason why the [Wild Ax Tribe] and the [Warhammer Tribe] were able to live in peace and harmony before. Hope continued: "Secondly, I guess... [Yangyan Tribe] may have obtained another totem fragment related to our totem, so they chose to take action." Shane: "Related totem fragments? What does this mean?" Hope explained: "The power that a single totem fragment can exert is limited." "But if you find the pieces that fit it and put it together into a more complete figure, its power will increase exponentially." Upon hearing this, Xia En understood instantly. The ancestral totems of the dwarves also need to be puzzled together! In the past, the totem of the [Sunfire Tribe] might have been a puzzle piece that had nothing to do with the [Warhammer Tribe]. Now, since we have found a matching puzzle piece, we might as well include the piece of [Warhammer Tribe] to form a larger totem. "The last reason is..." Hope showed a wry smile: "I don''t know why recently, the frequency of [Fire] in our area has become much higher, and there are also ground rumblings from time to time." "Perhaps [Yangyan Tribe] also has a sense of crisis and wants to increase its strength as soon as possible, right?" The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. If you have to say it, this reason is really inseparable from his arrival. Suddenly, Xia En thought of another question: "Chief Hope, where did you get the information about the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [Yang Yan Tribe]?" The transportation in [The Furnace Secret Realm] is so inconvenient, and the spread of news is extremely blocked. Being able to know this information in advance is an incredible thing. Hearing this question, Hope couldn''t help showing a complicated expression on his face and answered. "Actually, we learned this after intercepting a secret letter sent to Kuhl''s wife." "Cool''s wife?" Shane looked at Kuhl beside him and suddenly remembered that his wife Mary was originally a member of the "Wild Ax Tribe". But now, the meaning of this secret letter seems to be clear at a glance. "No, it''s not like that!" At this time, Kull finally couldn''t help but retorted: "Mary definitely didn''t mean that. This is definitely sowing discord!" "In our tribe, Mary is not the only woman from the Wild Ax tribe." Hope shook her head in disappointment: "You have been with Mary for so long, and you still haven''t seen her true nature clearly?" "No matter what, she has to be in confinement during this period and no one is allowed to visit!" "Wait until the war is over before Mary can be released." Kull opened his eyes wide and murmured: "Why is this..." "Kool." Shane walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said. "War is cruel, you have to be mentally prepared in advance." Kull was startled by Shane''s slap and quickly took two or three steps back, completely frightened. Xia En looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "What''s wrong? Am I so scary?" "Or is it more terrifying than facing the [Fire Lizard] alone?" As if aware of the deep meaning in Xia En''s words, Kull''s face became paler and his body began to tremble slightly. He swallowed and said with difficulty: "I''m feeling a little unwell, so I''ll leave first." After saying that, Kull left quickly as if running away in a hurry. When Hope saw Kuhl''s performance, he completely gave up the idea of ??naming him as the next successor. A weak, timid and indecisive person is not worthy of becoming the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe]. However, after all, Kuhl was the one Hope watched grow up, and he sighed softly. "I hope Kull can overcome this hurdle and cheer up as soon as possible." Shane said meaningfully: "I believe he will." After leaving the cave. Kuhl staggered towards his small home, his back looking extremely embarrassed. There was strong fear in Kull''s eyes, and he guessed in his heart: "What I just said...did Bronzebeard remember it?" "Did he discover my previous conspiracy?" "This, this is impossible!" Kuhl subconsciously didn''t want to believe this. After all, this means that Bronzebeard will definitely take revenge on himself. Now, Bronzebeard is not only the number one warrior of the Warhammer tribe, but also the confirmed next leader. If he wanted revenge, where would he be able to survive? Not to mention that now, his wife Mary is still locked up. The Warhammer Tribe and the Wild Ax Tribe are about to go to war! Thinking of this, Kudu suddenly felt that his life was gloomy and his heart was extremely despairing. How can he live like this? But just after Kull returned to his cave full of despair, he found an extra picture on the stone table... Paper made of unknown leather. "This is?" Kuhl didn''t know why, so he carefully opened the roll of paper, and it was written in ancient fonts. Calling the name of Rhine... (End of chapter) Chapter 308 【Lord of the Rhine】? Evil God? Chapter 308 [Lord of the Rhine]? Evil God? The texture of this paper was extremely unique. It gave Kuhl a smooth feeling after he picked it up. It was made of the leather of an unknown animal. "It can''t be human skin, right?" This thought flashed through Kull''s mind for no reason, but he was quickly dismissed by himself. However, even if it is not human skin, this mysterious leather paper brings an indescribable sense of weirdness and mystery to Kull. The weird workmanship, the dark brown lines, and the invisible secret power lingering on it all seemed extremely strange. It''s so strange that it''s like...it''s not a creation of this world! "Where did this vellum come from?" "Why in my house?" Kuhl inevitably had such doubts, but after doubts, his curiosity was also aroused. His intuition told him that there might be a huge secret hidden in this piece of paper, and there seemed to be a seductive whisper whispering in his ear. "Turn it over...open it...read it..." So, Kull opened the paper and saw the line of words with unknown meaning. Calling the name of Rhine... Although these words were in a language that Kull knew, there were subtle differences in the way they were written. It took him a while to identify them. Soon, as Kull began to read down the contents of the leather paper, his expression became increasingly weird. On this piece of leather paper, an existence named [Lord of Rhine] was recorded. He is a traveler in the [Secret Sea], a traveler in thousands of [Secret Realms], and he is the master of a world! In that world called [Rhine], there is bright sunshine, abundant water sources, and dense forests, and creatures can walk freely on the earth. The resources that are extremely scarce for the dwarves in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are as accessible as air and are everywhere in that world. It''s like a fertile "golden land." "Is such a world really possible?" After reading the description on the leather paper, Kull looked dazed and murmured in disbelief. "Or is this just a false existence that was made up casually?" Even though the history of the dwarf tribe is relatively well preserved, after such a long period of erosion, there will always be many distortions in the history and legends passed down. In addition, there are differences in the environment between [The Furnace Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World]. Many dwarves are no longer able to understand what "sunshine", "rain" and "forest" really are, and they can only glimpse a corner of them from some books and murals left in ancient times. At the moment, the world described on this piece of paper is really too dreamy for Kull. So much so that he subconsciously thought it was a fictional existence. What makes Kuhl even more concerned is that in the second half of the leather paper, there is also a ritual that calls for the "Lord of the Rhine". As long as you call [Lord of the Rhine], you will get his response. Moreover, you can pray to Him for what you desire, such as strength, weapons... and even creatures from other worlds! If the caller is pious enough, these existences can respond to the call and descend into [Ghana World]. "This...this is..." Kull''s eyes suddenly widened, his eyes lit up with hope, and he whispered to himself. "Acquire...power from another world?" Kuhl''s situation at this time can be described as extremely bad. Because of Bronzebeard''s unstoppable rise, the original chance of the clan leader''s successor no longer existed. My wife was also imprisoned because of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], and I dont know if she can be released later. What frightened him the most was that the Bronzebeard seemed to have recovered part of his memory, and guessed that the battle against the [Fire Lizard] was actually his own conspiracy! If Bronzebeard wanted to take revenge on him later, wouldn''t he have no choice but to be killed? Dont do that kind of thing! Kull wailed in his heart. In short, because of these factors, he is now in a desperate situation, and the days to come will only become more difficult. In Kuhl''s own capacity, there is almost no solution to this dilemma. But what if How about praying to this [Lord of the Rhine]? As long as you get the power from another world, maybe you can defeat the Bronzebeard who is bleeding with the "blood of the God of War", right? Perhaps, he can also use this power to become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] again and become a hero in Mary''s eyes! The more Kull thought about it, the stronger the greed and desire in his heart became. He swallowed and couldn''t help but stretched out his hand... But just when he touched the leather paper again and the smooth and weird feeling came into his mind, Kull suddenly thought of what Hope once said to him. In this world, the dwarves will naturally have ignorant and primitive beliefs. The more common ones are the belief in [Born Furnace] and [Ancestral Totem]. This is very easy to understand. These two are the foundation for the survival of every dwarf tribe. Without the protection of the [Ancestral Totem] and the equipment forged by the [Original Furnace], the dwarves would have been extinct in this harsh environment. In the long-term use, people will inevitably develop a mentality of worship and dependence on it, and it will take on "sacred" characteristics. This is how the original faith was born. However, there are some dwarves who have a relatively niche belief, which is the belief in the extremely huge [Fire] in the underground - [Gana]. They believe that all the [lava mines] in the world come from gifts from [Ghana]. Because [Lava Mine] is the only source of light in this underground world, it can resist the erosion and terror of darkness, and it has a certain "sacredness" in itself. So, doesnt the source of all [Lava Mines], the source of [Fire] [Ghana], also possess this kind of sacredness? In fact, if [Fire Seeds] hadn''t sometimes preyed on dwarves, and the two sides had an irresolvable hatred, maybe some people would have faith in them. Of course, the dwarves who believe in [Gana] only occupy a very small part of the tribe and do not have much influence. According to Hope, in addition to these two objects of faith, there is also an extremely dangerous and weird existence. They may be shadow creatures hiding in the darkness; Perhaps it is an ominous figure that visits in a dream; Or maybe... it''s an indescribable thing that claims to be from another world! Hopper refers to these things collectively as Evil God! They often use various methods to confuse those ignorant dwarves in order to achieve their own evil and ulterior purposes. Just coming into contact with them will bring about ominous misfortune. You may also encounter mental pollution, physical distortion, and embark on a crazy road full of thorns. In the end, it brought disaster and destruction to himself, the tribe, and even the entire [Ghana World]. Hope once warned the members of the [Warhammer Tribe] very seriously that once they discover anything related to the "evil god", they must report it and destroy it as soon as possible. Because of his serious attitude at the time, Kuhl remembered these words. Thinking of this, Kull suddenly took back his hand on the leather paper and threw it away like a hot potato. "This, this is a thing of the evil god!?" Combining the contents on the leather paper, it is not difficult for Kuhl to draw such a conclusion. At this moment, the most correct thing for him to do is to give this piece of paper to Hope and then destroy it completely. "But, is this... really good?" It was like a whisper suddenly sounded in Kull''s ears. This whisper was full of bewitching power, interrupting his original movements. In fact, Kull knew very well that there were no whispers at all. That was just the truest thought in his heart. Whether it''s a **** from another world or an evil god, as long as it can give him the strength to free himself from this miserable and miserable situation, isn''t that enough? But if he is an evil god, can he really get this power? What should we do if it brings disaster to the entire tribe? Kull''s body trembled slightly, and a fierce struggle flashed in his bloodshot eyes, as if there were two villains fighting in his mind, and his brain was almost boiling in this battle. After all, he was not a particularly smart dwarf. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have obeyed Mary''s advice and come up with such a clumsy plot to frame Bronzebeard. At this time, Kuhl suffered a series of changes, and suddenly came into contact with "suspected relics of the evil god". Naturally, he received a huge mental shock, so that his thinking was a little chaotic. To put it more plainly, his brain is a little broken. So, after a fierce struggle in his mind, Kull suddenly laughed. "Hehe...hehehaha!" "What evil gods, what tribes, what disasters...it doesn''t matter! Only the power is real!" "Anyway, the situation can''t get any worse. Even if the tribe is destroyed, so what?" "It doesn''t matter anymore..." Kull stretched out his hand, grabbed the roll of paper with force, and firmly remembered the part about "Calling Ritual" in his mind. After doing all this, Kull lit the piece of paper on fire and completely "destroyed the body and traces." Later, Kull took some materials recorded in the ritual and left the cave of [Warhammer Tribe] alone. The paper said that when arranging the ritual, it may cause fluctuations in the secret power. Therefore, it is better to choose a more remote place to "call". Along the way, someone also noticed Kuhl leaving alone. However, looking at his pale face, bloodshot eyes, and nagging temperament, the dwarves were inexplicably afraid of him. Considering Kuhl''s recent experience, it was thought that it would be better not to disturb him. It didn''t take long. Kuhl came to an extremely remote cave. The caves and tunnels in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are intricate, and this small cave is a secret space that only Kuhl knows. After climbing into the cave, Kull immediately arranged an extremely simple ritual according to the records on the leather paper. According to the statement on the paper, different rituals can bring different effects. The more complex the ritual, the more power it can draw. Even later, you can offer valuable sacrifices in exchange for what you desire. However, this is still the first call after all, and the authenticity of the ritual is not yet certain. Of course, Kull will choose the simplest one to try first. After arranging the ritual track with several pieces of metal, animal skulls and [lava mine] powder, Kull walked to the center of the ritual track. At this last moment, he still hesitated. Once you take this step, you really can''t turn back. But in the end, the desire for power in my heart defeated everything. Kull''s eyes became determined, he cut his finger with a knife, and dropped a drop of blood in the ritual. Then, Kull closed his eyes and whispered to himself. "With my blood, I call your name." "Great [Lord of the Rhine], please listen to my call..." As the words fall, the mysterious power condenses in the ritual. Buzz Invisible and weak vibrations spread in all directions. It''s like an [Anchor] is deeply embedded in the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], and it can no longer be separated. at the same time. Xia En, who was walking in the tunnel, raised his lips. "Sure enough, you still can''t resist the temptation?" In his ears, Kull''s voice was clearly heard. "...Great [Lord of the Rhine], please listen..." Not only that, Xia En also felt that there was a thread connecting him to Kuhl and the [Furnace Secret Realm]. An [Anchor Point] has fallen in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. And it has a subtle connection with the [Pedestal] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Yes, all of this is the [Anchor Point Plan] that Xia En had previously imagined. On his own, it would actually be difficult to leave the [anchor point] for the teleportation ritual in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. The reason is simple. Xia En is a stowaway to [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Once someone shows signs of coming from the [Rhine Secret Realm], they will be severely banned, and they may not even be able to keep their identity as "Bronzebeard Warhammer". On the other hand, it is impossible for Xia En to stay in [The Furnace Secret Realm] all the time, nor to conduct trade between the two [Secret Realms] personally. Then, the best way is to let the indigenous residents of [The Furnace Secret Realm] take the initiative to contact the [Rhine Secret Realm]. But here comes the problem. Why do ordinary dwarves want to contact such an unknown and mysterious world? In the eyes of most people, such a strange world is probably full of unknown risks. Keeping a respectful distance is the attitude of ordinary people. So, Shane set his sights on Kuhl. Kuhl''s situation undoubtedly met his requirements perfectly. Being in a bad situation and being forced into desperation means that he will take desperate measures and try to contact the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Both intelligence and strength are limited - convenient for Xia En to control. The most important point is that he has a grudge against "Bronzebeard Warhammer", so Xia En will not feel any guilt when he deceives him! At this time, Shane could not only hear Kuhl''s call, but also vaguely perceive the scene where he was and his current actions. Kuhl murmured piously. "[Lord of the Rhine], please give me strength..." (End of chapter) Chapter 309 [So, what’s the price? 】 Chapter 309 [So, whats the price? In Shane''s perception. Kull was in a dark cave, his expression was gloomy and revealed madness, and he was muttering something in a low voice. Combined with the crude rituals scrawled on the ground, the mottled blood dripping on it, and the [Lava Ore] powder emitting an ominous red light... If you say that this is not a sacrificial ceremony for some evil god, I am afraid no one will believe it! The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly, and he reflected on himself: "It seems that I pushed him a little too hard...could it drive him crazy?" "[Lord of the Rhine]...I pray to you, please give me power..." Kuhl''s prayers sounded again. Hearing the title [Lord of the Rhine] in his mouth, Xia En was a little unable to hold himself tight. Although this is the name that Shane himself left on the parchment, hearing Kure recite this title carefully and reverently, something feels strange? I always feel like I''m wearing a tiger''s skin, bluffing like a magician. But having said that, Xia En''s description of [Lord of the Rhine] is quite fair, right? [Walker who travels through the "Secret Sea"] - means that he can use [Deep Sea Diving] to travel through the [Secret Sea]. [Traveller of Thousands of "Secret Realms"] - refers to him using [Submarine Anchor Point] to teleport into different [Secret Realms]. [Lord of a World] - Refers to Xia En being the master of the secret realm of [Rhine]. Doesnt every one of these match? "Nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all..." Xia En murmured softly, suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart. Although he has never been an evil god, he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running away. He still has some knowledge of the communication process between evil gods and believers. So Xia En began to respond with the help of that mysterious thread. "I have heard your voice." Perhaps because this "thread" has just been formed, it is still fragile and unstable. Or perhaps because the ritual arranged by Kuhl was too crude, there was some distortion during the transmission process. From Kuhl''s perspective. He had just silently recited the name of [Lord of the Rhine] when a low and chaotic murmur came from his ears. The sound sounded like dirty flesh and blood churning in a boiling pot, or like disgusting and sticky limbs squirming. But the strange thing is that Kull still understood the general meaning from the messy and vague whispers - Your words...I already know... "The [Lord of the Rhine] is real!" "The contents of that leather paper are true!" After a brief period of nervousness and fear, Kull couldn''t help but widen his eyes, a strong joy appeared on his face, and greed and desire grew. It was not until this moment that he finally found a way to defeat Bronzebeard and become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] again! As for the strange and chaotic voice of [Lord of Rhine], although Kuhl had strong fear and uneasiness, he had previously regarded [Lord of Rhine] as an "evil god". With such characteristics, it was exactly in line with his expectations, so he wouldn''t be too panicked. Kuhl composed himself, suppressed the fear and excitement in his heart, and whispered as reverently as possible. "[Lord of the Rhine], I want power!" "Any form of power will do, please." After saying this, Kull kept his eyes closed, quietly waiting for the [Lord of the Rhine]''s response. After a moment, the majestic, indecipherable whisper sounded again. [So...what''s the price? Hearing this, Kull''s heart suddenly sank and his face turned pale. Yes, the **** he communicates with is not a kind person, but a real evil god! Since you want power, you have to pay a corresponding price! The most common price is life, vitality and sacrifices. Thinking of this, Kull immediately became frightened and asked softly: "What... do you want?" [This time...your sacrifice...I have received it...] More...More... In the intermittent murmurs, Kull understood what [Lord of the Rhine] meant. Then, an indescribable secret force entered his body along the invisible thread. "This...this is?!" Kuhl''s mind was shaken, and he carefully felt the secret power entering his body. The nature of this secret power is extremely special and different from any secret power that Kull has ever sensed. It seems to have all the characteristics of secret power, can be transformed into any kind of secret power, and also has an indescribable and amazing activity. Ever-changing and mysterious. Moreover, as soon as this secret power entered Kull''s body, it spread to his limbs and bones, and seemed to be subtly transforming his body. Kuhl can clearly feel that his body is becoming stronger! After a while, this secret power lay dormant in his body, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. But Kull felt that he could wake it up at any time. "call" Kurchang exhaled a thick breath, stretched out his hand and pressed **** the rock wall, and a small hole immediately appeared. "Is this...what I can do?" The bearded dwarf''s body trembled with excitement, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes were full of excitement. He actually really gained new power from the [Lord of Rhine]! "By the way, what is that secret power?" Kull carefully mobilized a ray of secret power and placed it on the rock wall in front of him. Just the moment it came into contact with the rock wall, many cracks appeared, as if the secret power penetrated directly into the depths of the rock formation, destroying it from a deeper level. This kind of power is really thrilling! "Is this the power of [Lord of Rhine]?" "So strong! Too strong! Hahaha..." Seeing this scene, Kull couldn''t help laughing loudly: "If I can continue to obtain this kind of power, even Bronzebeard won''t be my opponent, right?" He muttered to himself with greedy fire burning in his eyes. "Bronzebeard, Hope, Mary, wait!" "The position of clan leader will definitely be mine!" At this moment, Kull felt like he was the protagonist in some legend. Although he encountered major setbacks, he mastered the ability to transcend common sense because of his unexpected encounters. From then on, he soared into the sky and could no longer be stopped. Small characters like Bronzebeard and Hope are just small obstacles on the way to his rise. The feeling of having power was so good that Kull couldn''t help but be deeply intoxicated and addicted to it, and even became a little arrogant. However, Kool didn''t know... All the gifts of fate have already been marked with a price tag behind them. The [Lord of Rhine], also known as Xia En, gave Kull the secret power through invisible threads. It was none other than his exclusive [Secret Power of the Void]. Because this secret power can simulate the characteristics of almost all secret powers, Xia En naturally adjusted it to suit Kull and took root in Kull''s body. From Kuhl''s perspective, he may feel that his physical fitness has been strengthened and his body''s secret power has become full. You will naturally come to the conclusion that you have become stronger. But, from another perspective. Shane''s secret power has taken root throughout Kull''s body, naturally including the heart, trachea, brain and other vital parts. He only needed one thought to take Kull''s life. Even if Kull stops praying to him in the future, his entire body will become extremely weak due to the loss of the support of [Secret Power of the Void]. It is not impossible to get seriously ill directly. However, Shane believes that Kuhl will continue to repeat this process. Because, after enjoying the taste of power, he can no longer tolerate the weak self he used to be! Especially for people like Kuhl, this mentality will be particularly obvious. It can be said that from the moment Kuhl prayed to Shane for strength, his life was no longer his own. This is the price Kuhl paid! "hiss" Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but take a breath. Thinking about it carefully, this behavior probably, maybe, seems, maybe... is indeed no different from what the evil **** does? However, when he thought that Kuer had framed him, Xia En''s mentality instantly calmed down. He has never shown any kindness towards his enemies. Xia En said to himself: "I just don''t know what Kull''s reaction would be if he knew that I was the [Lord of the Rhine]..." "By then, his expression will be wonderful, right?" at the same time. Kuhl knew nothing about his tragic fate in the future. He took a few deep breaths to calm down. "Wait a minute, [Lord of Rhine] said he received a sacrifice?" "But I obviously didn''t put any sacrifices..." Kull glanced around the ritual track in confusion, and soon discovered that the [Lava Ore] powder that previously glowed dark red had disappeared at some point. Kuhl suddenly realized: "It turns out that the sacrifice is [Lava Mine]!" Realizing this, his eyes couldn''t help but twinkle. Naturally, he has a lot of [Lava Mine] in stock at home. More importantly, as the most outstanding craftsman in the [Warhammer Tribe] second only to Hope, he is responsible for the forging of many equipment in the tribe. In the process, you will also get [Lava Ore] given by the tribe. At that time, you can completely hide some of it privately and sacrifice more [Lava Mines] to the [Lord of the Rhine] in exchange for more power. "This is completely feasible, but you have to hide it from that old guy Hope..." Kull began to silently think about the feasibility of this matter. If Shane knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say - "You are such a **** talent!" Good guy, you have just had contact with the "Evil God" and are you ready to sell your tribe? This is probably the so-called "holy body of a natural cultist", right? Currently, the most valuable things to Xia En in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are the [Lava Mine], followed by the equipment made by the dwarves. If the [Moon-Winging Clan] in the [Rhine Secret Realm] can be equipped with dwarf equipment, their combat effectiveness will be greatly increased again. Therefore, Xia En also listed these two as the targets of "sacrifice". On the other side, after Kull was ready to be a traitor, he completely cleared the rituals at the scene and whispered to himself at the same time. "Praise the [Lord of the Rhine]!" He believes that his life trajectory will be greatly changed by [Lord of the Rhine]. And just then. A tremor on the ground suddenly came from far away. "What''s going on?" Kull''s expression changed slightly and he looked down the cave. I saw a group of dwarves wearing armor and holding large axes passing quickly through the passage below. Like a fast-moving army! "It''s the Savage Ax Tribe! They''re coming!" Kuhl''s heart skipped a beat - from the iconic axe, he could easily identify the identity of the other party''s group. Not only that, he even saw a giant wolf with flames burning in its eyes in the team. The huge and muscular body, the sharp claws and teeth, the fiery red hair...are all filled with a terrifying sense of oppression. Just standing there is enough to scare the average dwarf out of their wits and prevent them from resisting. There is no doubt that it is a genuine [Fire Seed]! To be precise, this is a [Fire Wolf], or a tamed [Fire Wolf]! Yes, in the [Forge Secret Realm], some powerful dwarf warriors can defeat and conquer the [Fire Seed] with their own strength. And turning these [Fire Seeds] into your own mounts or partners can also become a valuable labor force for the entire tribe. At this time, an extraordinarily tall dwarf was sitting on the back of this [Fire Wolf]. He is at least two heads taller than the average dwarf, and his hair is as red as flames, swaying slightly as the [Fire Wolf] advances. There was obviously explosive power in that body. - The obedient and extremely well-behaved [Fire Wolf] under him, as well as the awe-inspiring looks of the surrounding dwarves, are the best proof. Seeing this person, Kull couldn''t help but take a breath, and his heart seemed to skip a beat. ExplosionYangyan! The number one warrior of [Yang Yan Tribe]! Even in a remote place like [Warhammer Tribe], Kull has long heard of this warrior''s deeds. It is said that Burst Yangyan was originally an abandoned child of the Yangyan tribe and was raised by a [Fire Seed]. Maybe it has something to do with his upbringing. As Burst Sun Flame grew up, he quickly showed his extremely strong talent, which was incomparably compatible with the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], and he had a profound knowledge of the power of the fire element. In the second year after being brought back to the tribe, Burst defeated all his peers and was called a once-in-a-century genius. However, due to his childhood experiences, Burst has a very weird personality. In other words, he is more on the wild side, and has even had **** records of tearing enemies apart with his own hands during combat. Many dwarves had a strong fear of him and called him [Son of Fire], which means the child of [Fire]. Although Kuhl already knew in advance that Explosion would join the war. But how could they come so quickly? Kuhl suddenly woke up. Perhaps, at the same time as the secret message was sent, the team of the Savage Ax tribe had already set off! Now, what should he do? At this moment, Burst, who was sitting on the wolf''s back, raised his head and looked in the direction of Kull. (End of chapter) Chapter 310 [Hammer of the God of War], the explosion is coming! Chapter 310 [Hammer of the God of War], the explosion is coming! The moment the red-haired dwarf raised his head. Kull felt as if his heartbeat was about to stop! However, due to his instinctive desire to survive, Kull still made the most correct choice. He retracted his body as quickly as possible and clung to the rock wall behind him, trying his best to hold his breath. What a joke! He had just gained the ability to change his fate, and he was allowed to face Explosion? Should I fight Burst Yangyan? Fortunately, maybe Kull avoided it in time enough, or maybe his breath was too weak. Burst just glanced at the top of the passage and then withdrew his gaze. "Master Explosion, what''s wrong?" Noticing the explosive gaze, a dwarf next to [Fire Wolf] asked softly in awe. "fine." Burst shook his head and spoke in a slightly weird tone. "A little bug, weak, no threat." "Don''t worry, just move on." Due to the experience of being raised by [Fire] at a young age, Burst''s language ability is obviously worse than that of ordinary dwarves. Not only does his tone of voice seem weird, but it also gives people a sense of confusion in his speech. It takes some time for others to understand. However, no dwarf dared to question his decision. Because, he is Burst Yangyan! Dwarves value power more than language! After this small episode, the team of the Savage Ax tribe continued to move forward. It wasn''t until the vibrations in the surrounding caves completely subsided that Kull cautiously poked his head out and looked down where his cave was. Seeing that Burst and the other dwarves had disappeared, Kull let out a long breath. Only then did he realize that his back was completely wet with cold sweat, and his hands were even trembling slightly. "Is this the bursting pressure?" "Obviously he just glanced at me..." At that moment, Kuhl''s instinct felt an extremely strong sense of danger, as if he was facing a giant beast from deep underground! Even with the power of [Lord of Rhine], Kull is no match for him. "Yes, they must want to catch [Warhammer Tribe] off guard." "Perhaps that secret letter was intercepted on purpose, just to let the clan leader misjudge the time of their attack!" Kuhl was once smart and quickly guessed the intention of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]. A look of struggle flashed in his eyes. In fact, there is a shortcut from this secret cave to the underground space where [Warhammer Tribe] is located. If he sets out now, he might be able to get back to the [Warhammer Tribe] before the war begins, and tell Bronzebeard and Hope this valuable information so that they can prepare in advance. However, when he thought of Burst''s cold look just now, Kull felt great fear in his heart. "No, you can''t do that." "Even if I go back, [Warhammer Tribe] will not be an opponent of Explosion." Kuhl murmured to himself, as if he was convincing himself, or looking for excuses for himself. "That''s right, [Warhammer Tribe] is over!" "I can''t change this even if I rush back now. Instead of being buried with the [Warhammer Tribe], it''s better to go to other tribes to seek a chance to survive." "With my level of forging and the power given by [Lord of the Rhine], I can get along in any tribe I go to." As for Mary''s safety, Kuhl isn''t too worried. Mary was originally a member of the [Wild Ax Tribe], and maybe she could be rescued because of this. Besides, with the help of the [Lord of the Rhine], I may not be able to find a more obedient and capable wife in the future. Thinking of this, Kull no longer hesitated, but walked further away from [Warhammer Tribe]. at the same time. In the camp of [Warhammer Tribe]. "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "The explosion brought people from the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] to kill them?" Although Kuhl did not personally bring the news back to the tribe, because he had just finished the [Calling Ritual], there was still a subtle connection between Shane and him. Therefore, Xia En still had a rough idea of ??what he saw. As for Kull''s performance of running away, Xia En was both angry and funny. Scared away at first sight? You dont even have to act! However, Shane can actually understand Kull''s psychology. People''s bottom line will continue to decrease. Kull was originally just an ordinary dwarf, but under the instigation of Mary, he committed the murder of "Bronzebeard Warhammer". That was the first step in his fall. Later, after giving up his principles and tribe and praying and offering sacrifices to the "evil god", Kull completely embarked on a path of no return. Now he can no longer look back. However, precisely because of Kuhl''s poor performance, Xia En''s original guilt for deceiving him completely disappeared. From now on, Xia En plans to use him as a good fuel until he completely drains his remaining value. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia En did not forget that the imminent crisis now was the explosion and the attack of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]. If you want to keep your identity as "Bronzebeard Warhammer" and gain long-term support from [Warhammer Tribe], you must first cross this threshold. Therefore, Xia En immediately found the patriarch Hope and explained to him the information he had learned. "What? Burst has already brought the people of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] to the passage not far away?!" Hope did not doubt the information brought by Shane at all, nor did he ask where he learned about it, but immediately said seriously. "You must prepare to meet the enemy immediately!" Although Hope is a gray-haired old man, his decision-making ability and ability to act are far from what Kuhl can match. He quickly thought of a strategy to fight the enemy and gave instructions to the dwarves in his clan. The sick, old, and young dwarves were placed in a safe space. -Due to the sparse population of the dwarves, wars between different tribes will not slaughter captives, but will use the remaining people as slaves. After deleting the surnames of the loser tribe, it only takes a few generations to smoothly integrate these slaves into the tribe. This can be regarded as an invisible unspoken rule. However, when he thought of that explosive record, Hope felt frightened. Burst, who was raised by [Fire], has always been known for his **** and brutal fighting methods. Once he gets red-blooded, there may not even be a single person left alive. Hope knew very well that the method he thought of to fight the enemy could only be effective against ordinary enemies and would never be able to kill Explosion. Maybe not even minor injuries. The final outcome of this war still depends on the battle between Bronzebeard and Explosion. In fact, this is also the norm for small tribes. The outcome of a war often ultimately depends on the battle between the strongest people on both sides. Thinking of this, Hope couldn''t help but asked carefully. "Bronzebeard, if you were pitted against Explosion, would you win?" If it were Xia En''s true form, he would definitely answer directly - "I will win!" But at the moment, Xia En is not in full strength after all. He is restricted by Bronzebeard''s body and cannot fully display his combat power. And since he had no specific knowledge of Burst''s strength, it was naturally inconvenient for him to jump to conclusions, lest he raise a flag. After thinking about it, Xia En said: "You can only know this kind of thing if you have fought it yourself." "But I think the winning rate is at least 50%, right?" There is another sentence that Xia En has not said. As long as he gives up his identity as Bronzebeard, defeating Explosion will undoubtedly be a piece of cake. "Fifty percent..." After hearing this, Hope murmured: "That''s amazing." Although Xia En had a record of killing [Fierce Lizard King], the record of Explosion was even more luxurious and exaggerated than this. It is said that Burst once broke into a [Fire Seed] lair alone. When other dwarves arrived, all they saw were bloodstains and broken meat all over the ground. It is precisely because of his explosive fame that Hope rarely has much confidence in Shane. After thinking for a moment, Hope seemed to have made some kind of determination and spoke. "Bronzebeard, come with me, I have an important weapon for you." "An important weapon?" Xia En was a little surprised, [Warhammer Tribe] turned out to have such a hidden card? But when facing the [Fierce Lizard King] before, why didn''t Hope take it out? And soon, Xia En knew the answer to this question. Because Hope brought him to... In front of the [Warhammer Tribe]''s [Forge of Life]. "Chief Hope, what are you doing?" Shane asked a little surprised. Hope looked at the [Born Furnace] in front of him, with complexity and emotion appearing in his cloudy eyes, and said. "This was originally supposed to be handed over to you after you became the clan leader, but now that the enemy is facing us, we don''t care about that much anymore." "Stretch out your hand." Shane did as he was told. Immediately, Hope placed an ancient piece of iron in his palm. The next moment. An extremely hot temperature came from Xia En''s palm, and the iron piece instantly burned red, as if it was about to melt into the body. clang! Then, there was a sound of metal hitting in Xia En''s mind. It was like a sledgehammer hitting his heart hard. Xia En clearly sensed a blazing fire, with raging and blazing energy surging in it, mixed with all kinds of chaotic emotions. There is worship, awe, dependence... Obviously, these are the feelings that the dwarves place in the fire. There is no doubt that the essence of this "furnace" is exactly the [Furnace of Life] in front of him! From this moment on, Xia En had control over this [Balth Furnace]. [You are bound to the "Forge of Life" of "Warhammer Tribe"! Your soul has been tempered! [Comprehensive quality +0.5! A few lines of text flashed before Xia En''s eyes. "The tempering of the soul..." Xia En''s eyes showed joy. He could indeed feel that under the influence of the fire, his soul was warm, as if he was soaking in a hot spring. This benefit is purely an unexpected surprise. Xia En originally thought that his submersible voyage in [The Furnace Realm] could only be used to exchange products between the two [Secret Realms], but he didn''t expect that it could feed back his body and make his soul stronger. At this time, the meaning of Hope''s move was also clear. He is equivalent to directly handing over the life and death of [Warhammer Tribe] to Xia En. [Natural Furnace] is the foundation of a tribe. It can be said that if Xia En runs away with the [Forge of Life] now, the [Warhammer Tribe] will perish on its own in a short time. This kind of trust can be described as very heavy. At this time, Hope continued: "Bronzebeard, if it is really necessary, just take this furnace and run away!" "As long as the furnace is still there and the ancestral totem is still there, the [Warhammer Tribe] will not be considered dead." "Chief Hope..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be touched. Then, he said seriously: "Don''t worry, I will win." When it comes to the last moment, Shane will never run away like Hope said. The reason is simple. Xia En vaguely realized that the explosion and [Barbarian Ax Tribe] arriving so quickly might have something to do with him. This is also one of the malicious intentions of [The Furnace Secret Realm]. It can also be said that this is the test of the entire [Secret Realm] for him! If you want to conquer the [Secret Realm of the Furnace], there is no use in escaping. Facing the test, you can only face it head on! Listening to the confidence in Xia En''s mouth, Hope was relieved and sighing with emotion. "It seems that I am really old." "The future belongs to you young people." "Oh, by the way, the control method of [Benming Furnace] is also very simple. You just need to communicate with it with your mind." Shane began to try to communicate with the fire in his mind. But soon, he discovered that this fire seemed to have another form? He carefully put his mental power into the totem above the [furnace]. Then, a surprising change occurred. I saw the huge [Born Furnace] in front of the two people constantly deforming and compressing in a way that transcended common sense, and finally turned into... A giant warhammer larger than a human being! The surface of this hammer has flame-like lines and dark red in the darkness. It looks mysterious and majestic, full of violent beauty. After [The Forge of Life] transformed into a war hammer, it naturally fell into Xia En''s hands. As soon as the handle of the war hammer was taken into hand, a blazing temperature immediately came out. But the temperature was strangely without any burning sensation. Instead, it was very comfortable to hold, as if it felt like a blood connection. Not waiting for Xia En to check the panel of this war hammer. On the side, Hope''s eyes widened, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn''t help but exclaimed. "[Hammer of the God of War!]" "This is the Hammer of the God of War! I saw it right. The blood of the God of War flows in your body, so this weapon can see the light of day again." ah? Xia En''s mouth twitched, and he really didn''t know how to explain this situation. He obviously just touched the totem with his spirit in an ordinary way, right? Or is that actually the effect of the [Warhammer Tribe] ancestral totem? However, no matter what, this warhammer was indeed of great help to Xia En, greatly enhancing his combat effectiveness in the [Forge Secret Realm]. "It''s the Hammer of the God of War!" "Bronzebeard summoned the Hammer of War, and he was recognized by the Hammer of War!" "We have hope!" The dwarves nearby became excited when they saw this scene. [War God''s Hammer] was equivalent to a legendary existence in their minds, but it reappeared in the world at this time, which naturally greatly increased the morale of the dwarves. Amid the excitement, Shane realized that he needed to do something. He stood in the center of the crowd, raised his war hammer high, and shouted. "This battle is for the Warhammer Tribe!" Everyone responded in unison: "For the Warhammer Tribe!" There was light in everyone''s eyes, which was very different from the fearful and uneasy look before. High morale, burning like a furnace fire. There is no doubt that at this moment, Shane has become the undoubted core of [Warhammer Tribe]. at the same time. Burst and others are also taking action... (End of chapter) Chapter 311 Hopes courage, the fierce battle explodes! Chapter 311: Hopes courage, fierce fighting breaks out! In a dark, narrow passage. The dwarves of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] are moving forward in an orderly manner. And the person leading the way at the front was none other than Burst riding on the back of a wolf. At this time, his exploding eyes shone strangely in the darkness, and his nose twitched slightly, as if he was identifying the smell in the air. Soon, he locked in a direction and said while moving forward. "This way." The dwarves behind [Fire Wolf] immediately responded: "Yes, Master Explosion." Then, they quickly followed, with unusually calm and agile movements and demeanor. If you observe carefully, you can find that these dwarves are obviously different from the dwarves further around, whether it is their clothing, equipment, temperament, or demeanor. The weapons they hold are not the extremely eye-catching heavy axes of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], but a medium-sized long sword. There are special forging marks on each long sword, forming patterns that look like the sun and flames. That is the unique forging technique of [Yang Yan Tribe]. Not only can the weapon become sharper and stronger, but it can also add [Sun Flame] damage when attacking, which is equivalent to an exclusive enchantment. Visible to the naked eye, the physical fitness and combat capabilities of these dwarves are stronger than those of ordinary dwarves. Moreover, they always look at the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] dwarves with a touch of contempt and arrogance. Obviously, these dwarves are from the [Yangyan Tribe], and they are also Burst''s bodyguards! "What are you still waiting for? Come up!" Seeing the slow movements of the dwarves of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], one of the female dwarves who followed the explosion frowned and scolded them sternly. "No wonder you guys obviously have a grudge against the [Warhammer Tribe], but you haven''t been able to take action for so long." "Grinning, or not a man?" "If you''re afraid of death, get back here now!" She glanced at the many dwarves and said coldly: "A bunch of trash!" "you!" Hearing this merciless rebuke from the female dwarf, the dwarves of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] were naturally a little angry, and some wanted to retaliate. But at this moment, Bakulie, who was sitting on the giant wolf, turned back and glanced at everyone. In an instant, the venue was completely silent, and no one dared to say another word. "Oh" Seeing this, the female dwarf sneered again and quickly followed the footsteps of the explosion. The humiliation brought by this sneer was even several times stronger than her previous rebuke! But in the face of the terrifying explosive pressure, they still dared not speak out in anger. After a while, the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] dwarf at the end of the team couldn''t help but curse: "Damn it, you stinky bitch!" "Isn''t it just because she has [Yangyan Tribe] and Explosion to support her? What''s so great about it?" The companion on the side smiled bitterly. With the backing of [Sunfire Tribe] and Explosion, this is really amazing, at least they can''t afford to offend each other at all. After complaining for a while, the irritable dwarf asked curiously: "Actually, I don''t understand why the clan leader suddenly decided to take action against the [Warhammer Tribe]?" "[Yangyan Tribe] will not lend a helping hand for no reason." The other dwarf hesitated and told some inside information he knew. "I heard that after this battle, we [Barbarian Ax Tribe] will move to the territory of [Yang Yan Tribe] and become their vassals." "ah?" The irritable dwarf was suddenly shocked: "Migrate? Why?" "I don''t want to become a vassal of [Yangyan Tribe]!" The companion quickly reached out to cover his mouth: "Shh! Shh - keep your voice down!" "This is just the news I heard, it may not be accurate!" The dwarf whose mouth was covered nodded, indicating that he would not make a fuss anymore, and then his companion let go of his hand and continued. "I also heard... I just heard that the [Yangyan Tribe] originally came for our tribe''s [Ancestral Totem]." "But in the end, the clan leader did not choose to fight them to the death, but decided to actively offer the [Ancestral Totem] and join the [Yangyan Tribe]." Hearing this, the dwarf''s eyes widened in shock: "Why is this like this?" "The patriarch...the patriarch..." His first reaction was anger. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a betrayal of the entire tribe! The companion sighed: "Actually, the clan leader also has his own reasons." "The [Yangyan Tribe] is so powerful. With our strength, fighting them is just an egg against a stone." "By voluntarily handing over the [Ancestral Totem], a few fewer people will die." The irritable dwarf''s eyes turned red and he murmured: "Then we can''t surrender without resisting." "Besides, when we reach their territory, it''s not up to us to decide whether they live or die." The companion added: "Oh, by the way, another reason why the clan leader decided to migrate is that [Gana] below our territory is extremely active these days, which may cause our cave to directly collapse." Hearing this, the grumpy dwarf could only sigh. Rationally speaking, this was indeed the most correct decision, but he still couldn''t accept it. "Wait a minute, did Ural take the initiative to curry favor with the [Yang Yan Tribe] after he knew these things?" The companion sighed softly: "I''m afraid so." Unlike these dwarves, who were either indignant or sad, the Ural in their mouths was following Explosion and his bodyguard very doggedly. "I''ve been to this place before!" "Go through the tunnel in front of you, then turn two turns to the right, and you will find the territory of the [Warhammer Tribe]!" Ural''s figure is relatively small among dwarves, and a cunning light flashed in his small eyes. At this time, while leading the way for Blast and others, he looked at the dwarves of [Yang Yan Tribe] to take credit, as if he didn''t care at all about the contempt and ridicule in these people''s eyes. "Well done, Ural." The female dwarf Quilin, who had scolded everyone angrily before, rarely showed a good face and praised him. In Quilin''s view, the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] will soon become a vassal of the [Sunfire Tribe], and Ural''s attitude is what it should be. However, as they were about to reach the enemy''s territory and an encounter could occur at any time, Quilin asked tentatively. "Ural, since you have been to the [Warhammer Tribe], how do you evaluate their strength?" Ural smiled and said: "Sister Kuilin, don''t worry." "The strength of [Warhammer Tribe] is similar to that of [Wild Ax Tribe], even a little weaker." "Recently, a very talented warrior in their clan, Bronzebeard Warhammer, seems to have disappeared in an accident." The transportation in [The Furnace Secret Realm] is extremely inconvenient, which also leads to a huge lag in message transmission. Only Ural didn''t know that Xia En had returned. However, even if Ural knew about Xia En''s existence, he would probably not take it to heart. What about a warrior from a small tribe, even the first warrior? Can it still survive the explosion? Ural looked at Explosion with awe and envy, and said: "As long as Master Explosion is here, we can easily defeat the [Warhammer Tribe]!" "Hahaha! That''s right." Hearing this clumsy flattery, Quilin was extremely happy, as if hearing a compliment to her, she laughed. "Ural, when you conquer the [Warhammer Tribe], you can choose any of the survivors as slaves!" "Yes! Thank you Sister Quilin!" A flash of joy flashed in Ural''s eyes. Of course, he also noticed the disdainful looks cast on him by his fellow tribesmen not far away, and knew that he looked shameless in doing so. But so what? Ural never felt that he had done anything wrong. In this world, the weak have to rely on the strong to survive. It''s like the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] doesn''t have enough power and can only choose to become a vassal of the [Sun Flame Tribe]. Since I have no power, of course I can only try to get as close to the explosion as possible and gain meager benefits from it. And now, the [Warhammer Tribe] who refuses to rely on the [Sun Flame Tribe] will become the first victim. The explosion at the front of the team did not pay any attention to the conversations of the people behind them. Neither the praise he received nor the description of Ural caught his attention. Burst just moved forward steadily and firmly, as if nothing could stop him. But inexplicably, Burst had some ominous premonition in his heart. The experience he had when he was young allowed Burst to develop a talent as intuitive as a beast. Therefore, Burst realized that the battle against [Warhammer Tribe] would most likely not be smooth sailing, but would instead be a difficult and difficult battle. But a born warrior will not be afraid of fighting. After a while, Blast and others had arrived at the end of the passage. "careful." After leaving these words, Burst rode the giant wolf and took the lead into the underground space where the [Warhammer Tribe] was located. To show his loyalty, Ural followed closely. However, Ural couldn''t help but be surprised by the scene inside the huge cave. The entire [Warhammer Tribe] territory seemed extremely dark. The huge furnace that originally stood in the center of the territory disappeared, and the [Lava Mines] in the surrounding rock formations were also gone. Only the faint light coming from the passage illuminated this underground space. "What...is going on?" Quilin followed Explosion into the cave, and she couldn''t help but frown when she saw the scene in front of her. "Did everyone from the [Warhammer Tribe] escape?" "It shouldn''t be..." Ural frowned and thought: "There is no underground space suitable for living near here..." It didn''t take long for the group to reach the center of the cave. Ural glanced at the scorched black marks on the ground, which seemed to still have residual warmththis meant that even if the [Warhammer Tribe] people had evacuated, they had only just left. "Master Explosion..." Ural was about to tell Burst about his discovery, but suddenly he noticed that Burst''s expression suddenly changed. "hide-" Burst Yan let out a concise and violent shout, grabbed the nearest Kuilin and another bodyguard, and retreated violently. Although Ural didn''t understand why Burst did what he did, it didn''t stop him from immediately making the right choice and running in the direction of Burst. The next moment. Under the ground where they were, an extremely terrifying energy wave suddenly erupted. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light bloomed. boom! ! A violent explosion exploded. Ural''s running body was directly thrown away by the aftermath of the explosion and hit the rock wall heavily. For a moment, Ural only felt that his internal organs were shaking, and he couldn''t help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he had suffered severe internal injuries. However, compared to other dwarves in the field, he was extremely lucky. Ural obeyed the order to explode and somehow escaped from the center of the explosion. Those dwarves who did not react were directly torn into pieces by the explosion, with burnt pieces of flesh and remains of equipment shattered all over the ground. There was a smell of burnt meat in the air. Even the huge [Fire Wolf] was seriously injured in the explosion. It was rolling in the flames and letting out a miserable wail. The rest of the survivors were not in much better condition. One by one, they were knocked unconscious from the fall, or screamed in pain due to severe burns. "Ah ah ah ah, it hurts..." "I can''t see! What''s going on?" "Master Explosion, where are you?" For a time, the scene was extremely miserable and chaotic. At this time, Ural had completely understood what had happened previously. [Warhammer Tribe] actually buried all the [Lava Mines] in the tribe underground and exploded them when they arrived! This resulted in such exaggerated lethality. "What a cruel move!" Ural was filled with fear. The person who came up with this plan is definitely a ruthless person. Not only did he risk everything on strategic materials like [Lava Mine], but he also used his own home as a place to detonate it. Aren''t you afraid of blowing this place up? While shocked, Ural also felt a touch of awe. If their clan leader had such courage to face the invasion of the [Yang Yan Tribe], would the outcome have changed? However, Ural also knew that the battle was not over. Because Burst is still alive! As long as he is still there, they still have the possibility of a comeback. At this moment, a shocking roar sounded. "burst-" Under the blazing fire, amid the wails and screams, a figure held a hammer, leaped high from the ground, and rushed towards Burst who had just regained his footing. What a speed! Who is this person? Ural looked at this scene in shock. He originally thought that this would be a one-sided crushing, but the moment the two of them fought, he understood that he was wrong, and he was very wrong. clang! clang! clang! The heavy hammer was swung freely in the dwarf''s hands like a toy, hitting it one after another until it exploded. The weapon used for Explosion is not a sword, but gloves worn on both fists. Every time his fists collided with the giant hammer, his body would take a step back, plowing deep marks on the ground. Almost all the dwarves who saw this scene couldn''t help but show shocked expressions. Explosion, actually suppressed by that man? That was an explosion! "Is this all your strength?" Bronzebeard, that is, Xia En, sneered: "Explosion Yang Yan, it turns out it''s nothing more than that." (End of chapter) Chapter 312 【Do you want to truly live? 】 Chapter 312 [Do you want to really...live? "roar!!" Upon hearing such sarcastic words, Explosion''s eyes immediately lit up with scarlet fire, and he let out a shocking roar. Hot power burst out from his heart and flowed throughout his body. Immediately afterwards, the exploding glove suddenly burst into fierce flames, colliding with the exaggerated giant hammer. boom- Hot air waves rolled and dust flew. The cave, which was already a little unstable due to the shocking explosion just now, was once again on the verge of collapse. Ural is relatively close to the battlefield, so it can be seen more clearly... The fire glove collided with the giant hammer without any fancy. However, the fire on the glove did not spread to the handle of the hammer and cause damage to Xia En like before. Instead, it seemed that it was being suppressed by some invisible force, causing the power of the flame to be greatly attenuated. "What''s going on?" "Hammer...there''s something wrong with that war hammer! Wait, is that..." At this time, Ural''s heart trembled and he thought of a possibility. "That''s...[War God''s Hammer]!?" [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [War Hammer Tribe] were one family hundreds of years ago, so Ural had naturally heard of the legend of [War God''s Hammer]. It is said that the ancestor of their two tribes was one of the dwarves who had the blood of the God of War flowing through them. The [Hammer of the God of War] was the first weapon forged by our ancestors from the corpse of a powerful [Fire] after they came to [Gana World]. According to legend, [War God''s Hammer] has a suppressive effect on most weapons forged by dwarves. It''s like bloodline suppression between living things. In addition, [Hammer of the God of War] also has magical effects such as strengthening the user and stimulating blood vessels. For both of their tribes, this weapon is comparable to an artifact and has a very special meaning. However, in the past few decades, no one in the [Warhammer Tribe] has been able to reproduce the heroic appearance of [War God''s Hammer]. So much so that Ural once thought it was a weapon that only existed in legends. But now, this artifact really appeared in front of him! "Who is that dwarf?" "Could it be that he is the talented warrior of [Warhammer Tribe], Bronzebeard Warhammer?" Not only Ural, but other survivors of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] on the battlefield also recognized the [Hammer of the God of War] and couldn''t help but exclaimed. "[War God''s Hammer]? Isn''t that a weapon that can only be used by those with the blood of the God of War?" "When did [Warhammer Tribe] produce such a character?" However, these survivors did not wait to think more. Earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out all around. "Kill!!" In the blink of an eye, the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] rushed out of the cave where they were hiding and faced the survivors injured by the explosion. Apparently, this is the second link in the trap. The explosion just now could not kill all the intruders, but it at least reduced their combat effectiveness to a higher level. Many people were seriously injured and unable to fight anymore. At this time, the people of the [Warhammer Tribe] attacked again, and the situation naturally quickly fell into a one-sided situation. "Damn it, how could this happen?" Ural looked ugly. In his original expectation, this operation should have been extremely simple and smooth with the support of Explosion and [Yangyan Tribe]. But the [Warhammer Tribe] somehow knew of their arrival in advance, and prepared a huge "surprise" with great courage. The most important thing is that a strong man who can compete with Explosion has emerged from [Warhammer Tribe]! The situation was already very bad, but Ural still did not run away, but stared intently at the center of the battlefield. He is still waiting for the moment when Explosion defeats Xia En. Until now, he still doesn''t believe that Burst will lose! However, Ural was destined not to wait for that moment. In the field, Xia En and the explosive figures were so fast that they almost left their afterimages, constantly colliding and bombarding them back and forth. Every collision stirred up layers of air waves, and even emitted waves of heat, scorching the dwarves around them to retreat. A battle of this intensity is no longer something ordinary dwarves can get involved in. Every collision was like a knock on Ural''s heart, making his desire for power stronger. He envied Explosion and the warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe]. If he could possess this kind of power, not to mention the [War Hammer Tribe], even the [Sun Flame Tribe] would be conquered by him! Unfortunately, while Ural was still dreaming, the white-haired dwarf Hope jumped out from behind him and knocked him out with a hammer. at the same time. Xia En was also a little surprised. Although he was belittling Burst, the strength displayed by this dwarf was actually beyond his expectation. After stimulating some special power, Burst''s combat power reached at least the level of a fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder, almost possessing one-tenth of the strength of Xia En''s body. Even though it was only one-tenth, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" controlled by Xia En was definitely not his opponent based on physical fitness alone. The reason why Xia En has been able to sustain for so long and still have the upper hand is mainly due to the special characteristics of [War God''s Hammer] and [Secret Power of the Void]. [War God''s Hammer] seems to be able to suppress the blood in the bursting body. And [Void Secret Power] is a great weapon against secret power. Xia En even suspected that Burst was the real awakener of the "Blood of the God of War", otherwise his sudden surge in combat power would not be explained. The blood boiling like magma in the bursting body is also the characteristic of the activation of "Blood of the God of War". However, despite this, Xia En is still sure of defeating him! With every collision, a ray of [Secret Power of the Void] invades the bursting body and lurks temporarily. Not even the boiling blood can remove it. What''s more, Xia En also has superimposed skills like [Secret Touch]. When the [Secret Power of the Void] accumulates enough in the explosive body, it can be detonated directly, which is equivalent to an "execution technique." boom! boom! boom! Under the rapid and fierce bombardment, Xia En and Burst''s momentum became stronger and stronger. Like two little suns, it naturally attracted everyone''s attention. However, Xia En''s body is much weaker than Explosion after all. Under such violent stimulation, the muscles and bones inside the body began to collapse a little. This means that the repair speed of [Secret Power of the Void] is beginning to fail to keep up. "Ouch" The bursting combat intuition was extremely sharp, and he let out a wolf-like roar again from his mouth, and swooped forward with his hands like claws. Xia En was about to swing the hammer to meet the attack, but the muscles in his arm suddenly softened and his movements were somewhat deformed. As a result, the strength of the hammer was greatly reduced, and the direction of the hammer was even deflected! Seeing this scene, Hope and the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] felt their hearts sink to the bottom and turned pale. Could it be that... Bronzebeard is going to be defeated? So, who else can beat Burst? Just when the patriarch Hope was a little desperate, something that was difficult for everyone to understand happened. I saw that the explosion had clearly rushed in front of Xia En, and the sharp claws seemed likely to tear his throat open at any time. But the next moment. Burst''s expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed some kind of fatal danger. Therefore, instead of seizing the close victory, he retreated violently, retreating more than ten meters away like a ghost. "Huh? What''s going on?" Hope was very confused: "Why did Burst suddenly run away?" And what surprised him even more was yet to come. Burst still didn''t feel safe after retreating more than ten meters. Instead, he frantically moved and dodged in the cave, so fast that it left an afterimage. From the perspective of Hope and other dwarves, there was nothing around him, and Bronzebeard did not launch any attack. At this moment, the scene certainly looks very strange. But Xia En felt a little bit of admiration in his heart. He naturally knew what Burst was avoiding. Half of the mistake just now was due to his physical loss of control, and the other half was due to Xia En taking the initiative to use himself as bait, hoping to make Explosion relax his vigilance. As long as the explosion is as close as possible, the [Deep Touch] pouring out can kill him instantly. Unfortunately, Burst''s intuition was sharp enough that he was able to resist the urge to kill Xia En and retreat in time. At this time, Xia En''s [Secret Touch] was actually ready to come out. Burst''s seemingly meaningless dodge was to avoid this sense of crisis that came from nowhere. However, even though Explosion struggled to dodge for a moment, the sense of crisis never disappeared, but instead became stronger. Burst finally realized that this seemed to be some kind of combat technique that locked him, and he could no longer escape. After understanding this, Burst stopped his movements, took off his gloves and threw them on the ground. Then, he said directly: "No more fighting, I surrender." "I...surrender to you." His tone was still weird, but his meaning was clear. "ah?" Hearing this, Xia En had a strange expression. Judging from his previous performance, he had always thought that Burst was the type of berserker with a violent personality - the kind that wouldn''t stop until the last drop of blood was shed. How could such a person surrender? Xia En originally thought that Burst wanted to pretend to surrender and launch a sneak attack, but after careful observation for a while, he found that Burst really didn''t offer any resistance. After thinking about it carefully, Xia En barely understood Burst''s idea. His mindset is closer to that of a beast than a human. In other words, survival is placed above everything else. He may not understand what tribal belonging, morality, and emotions are. Now, Xia En has the ability to kill him directly, and there is no way to avoid the explosion, so naturally he can only choose this seemingly shameless method to survive. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "It is not impossible to accept your surrender." "But, in exchange, I want to completely control your life." Burst hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay..." "The most important thing is to survive..." So, Xia En walked up to Explosion, put his hand on top of his head, and injected [Secret Power of the Void] into it. This secret power developed many new uses in his hands. -This method of controlling life is one of them. The moment Xia En stretched out his hand, his explosive body obviously resisted, but he still resisted the urge to take action and slowly lowered his head. This is also his way of showing surrender. Seeing this, the surrounding [Warhammer Tribe] dwarves instantly became excited. They didn''t expect that Xia En not only defeated Burst, but even gained his surrender. I dont know who shouted first. "Bronzebeard!!" Immediately, everyone responded together. "Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard!" The dwarves shouted Sean''s name loudly, their faces full of excitement, excitement and admiration. After this battle, Shane''s prestige in the [Warhammer Tribe] can no longer be matched, and he has become a hero in the hearts of the dwarves! In a dark cave. "Ah...my head hurts." Ural woke up from a coma: "Here is..." He slowed down, rubbed his forehead, and looked around. He quickly came to the conclusion that this place seemed to be a cage-like cave. Apparently, he had been captured and imprisoned by the [Warhammer Tribe]. Next, what awaits him is the ending of becoming a slave or being killed. Ural was in a very gloomy mood. He never expected that this battle would end with such a result. At this moment, he found a piece of paper made of unknown leather lying in a corner not far ahead. "This is?" Ural approached the leather paper carefully. And just when he was about to touch the piece of paper, there seemed to be a whisper in his ear. Do you want power? Do you want to really...live? Ural''s body trembled, but he still reached out his hand without hesitation... Not long after. Feeling that another thread in his mind was connected between the [Rhine Secret Realm] and [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En raised a smile on his lips. After questioning and observing the captives, he ultimately selected Ural as his second "disciple." However, unlike Kuhl''s "fight alone", Shane hoped that Ural could publicize the existence of the "Lord of the Rhine" among the captives. After this attack by the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], it was certainly impossible for Xia En to just let it go. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, is his style. And then, after conquering the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], there will definitely be a large number of prisoners. Emotions such as hatred, anger, and despair are undoubtedly the best breeding ground for "cultists". In this way, more "threads" can be established between the two [secret realms]. The existence of [Lord of the Rhine] sounds too suspicious after all. Even with Xia En''s current prestige, if he promotes his existence in the [Warhammer Tribe], Hope will only be able to see through the nature of the "evil god" at a glance. Therefore, Xia Ens decision is On the surface, he continued to conquer other tribes and established a larger dwarf kingdom. And secretly, the [Lord of the Rhine] spread among the captives and slaves. When the time is right, send the dwarves into the [Rhine Secret Realm] batch by batch. In this way, he not only has a kingdom in the [Forge Secret Realm], but also allows the [Rhine Secret Realm] to enjoy the technology and equipment support of the dwarves. However, Shane''s plan has just begun. The road ahead is still very long. (End of chapter) Chapter 313 Return to the Rhine! The beast tide is coming! Chapter 313 Return to Rhine! The beast tide is coming! In the blink of an eye, several days passed. During these days of [Sneaking], Xia En has been tirelessly conquering the copy of [The Furnace Secret Realm]. After some hard work, Xia En successfully found the territory of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] and conquered it with absolute power. In fact, when Blast followed Xia En to the leader of the [Wild Ax Tribe], the other party completely lost any desire to resist. Since the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] can surrender to the [Sunfire Tribe], it can naturally also offer its loyalty to the [Warhammer Tribe]. At the same time, because the original cave of the [Warhammer Tribe] became endangered in the explosion, their tribesmen simply temporarily moved into the territory of the [Barbarian Axe Tribe]. Although it sounds cruel, war between tribes is cruel in itself! If the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]''s attack succeeds, the people of the [Warhammer Tribe] will never be much better off than they are. During this process, Xia En was quite surprised by the explosive performance. Xia En originally thought that he would wait for an opportunity to escape, or betray him directly. But unexpectedly, Burst was honest from beginning to end. Not to mention defecting, he didn''t even show the emotion of wanting to leave. Not only that, when facing the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], Burst also took the initiative to reveal his tyrannical aura. It''s as if... he has become a member of the [Warhammer Tribe]. Xia En was still surprised by this at first, but after briefly asking about Explosion and the prisoners of the [Sun Flame Tribe], he suddenly came to his senses. It turns out that Burst is not actually a real member of the [Yang Yan Tribe]. Burst was a young man who was found in their lair after the [Yang Yan Tribe] went hunting and killed several [Fire Seeds]. No one knows which tribe he was an abandoned baby from. If I have to say it, [Yangyan Tribe] still has the hatred of killing "father" and "mother" against Burst. The reason why Burst obeyed the orders of the leader of the [Yangyan Tribe] was just because the leader was more powerful. It can be said that this is a helpless move for survival. In the same way, Burst can fight for the [Sunfire Tribe] for survival, and naturally he can also fight for the [Warhammer Tribe]. Realizing this, Xia En relaxed a lot on his guard against explosions. For someone who relies on wild instincts to fight, as long as you are always stronger than him, you can steadily suppress and drive him. Another thing worth mentioning is - After defeating the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], Xia En accepted the [Ancestor Totem] from the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] as a matter of course. Since the two tribes were once one family, the two [ancestral totems] were actually one. And when Xia En used the [Hammer of the God of War] to touch the [Ancestor Totem] of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], a strange change suddenly occurred. The mysterious ancient totem turned into molten iron in an instant and merged into the huge hammer of the [Hammer of the God of War]. This makes the lines on [War God''s Hammer] more magnificent and complete. The secret power contained in it becomes rich and full visibly to the naked eye. After buying it, Xia En felt an indescribable smooth texture, as if it had undergone a mysterious transformation. At the same time, the description of [War God''s Hammer] has also undergone some changes. [Hammer of the God of War (Incomplete)] [Quality: Legend] [Type: Weapon] [Description: The dwarves imitated the legendary artifact of the God of War and forged a warhammer that has been bound to your soul. [The ancestral totem with "Warhammer Tribe" engraved on it has become more complete by absorbing similar totems. [Effect 1: God of War SuppressionThis war hammer naturally suppresses the descendants of the God of War, reducing their combat effectiveness to a moderate extent. [The richer the blood of the God of War, the more intense the suppression will be. [Effect 2: Incomplete Totemthe ancestral totems of the dwarves are scattered throughout the "Furnace Secret Realm" for some special reason. [Completing the incomplete totem might give this weapon a new power, right? [Effect 3: Savagerythe special combat skill of the "Barbarian Ax Tribe" can enhance one''s own combat power in a short period of time, at the cost of reduced intelligence. "this" After reading these descriptions, Xia En couldn''t help but show a surprised expression. "Did it... directly swallow the totem of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe]? And also unlocked new abilities?" Although Xia En had heard Hope say before that [Ancestral Totems] would become more powerful when put together. But this enhanced form of [War God''s Hammer] was still somewhat beyond his expectations. Not only that, it''s probably because this weapon is bound to Shane''s soul. In the process of its integration with the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] totem, Xia En''s body also received a unique feedback. His whole body was filled with warmth, and there was a stream of heat flowing through every cell, every muscle, and even deep in his soul. Indescribably comfortable and comfortable. To be honest, it feels quite similar to the feeling of bathing in the dragon''s blood pool. [Comprehensive quality +0.5! Seeing this prompt, Xia En''s eyes lit up. Although the overall quality of 0.5 is not much, it is definitely a lot. As Xia En''s overall quality continues to improve, the difficulty of this numerical improvement is gradually becoming greater. This is similar to the fact that in some games in the late stages, if you want to level up, you will need a huge amount of experience. Moreover, there is more than one ancestral totem fragment in [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Continuously acquiring more [Ancestral Totems] will not only improve your overall quality, but also make [War God''s Hammer] more complete. Why not? Maybe... with enough [Ancestral Totems] absorbed, [War God''s Hammer] can be upgraded from [Legendary] to [Mythical] quality! Shane was looking forward to this. In addition to the actions in [The Furnace Realm], Shane also did not forget to use federal weapons and equipment to arm the people of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. After all, it was just the information collected by the [Yongyue Clan] scouts. A terrifying beast tide may sweep through the newly established [Rhine City] at any time. Whether it''s for the residents of [Rhine City] or to maintain this stable rear area, Xia En must withstand this beast tide. Coincidentally, in these days, the federal salvage ship had found the [Ember Treasure] in [Coral City] that Xia En had handed over, and started a salvage operation. According to the previous contract, every time the seeds of an ancient creature are discovered, Xia En will be given a certain amount of merit as a reward. To put it simply, it is - The final payment has arrived! With this merit and another transaction amount from Daisy, Shane purchased another batch of key weapons and transported them to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Because there is a strange and close connection between Xia En and the [Rhine Secret Realm], he can actually faintly detect the changes in the atmosphere in the secret realm. In other words. Xia En can roughly judge the time when the beast tide is coming. This is probably one of the privileges of the [Lord of the Rhine], right? On the day when the ominous premonition in his heart reached its peak, Xia En and his crew came to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Xia En originally wanted to take all the crew members except Xiaolong Xiange who was still sleeping. But unexpectedly, Vivian''s spirit body could not leave the crystal coffin and move alone. And for some unknown reason, the crystal coffin was unable to pass through the light gate formed by the [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. In desperation, Xia En had no choice but to leave this salted fish ghost on the [Black Swan] and treat it as staying to look after the family. Step through the door composed of silver light. The world before the crew members suddenly changed. "call" Joey couldn''t help but take a deep breath, smiled and sighed: "Sure enough, the air in [Rhine Secret Realm] is fresh!" Fairy Tracey was also very fond of the vibrant environment of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. She looked around curiously and exclaimed in a low voice. "It''s changed a lot from the last time I came here. Is that city so well built?" As for the existence of [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En had already informed his crew members, and he had brought them here more than once. [Rhine Secret Realm] can not only be used as a good training location, but also relieve the boredom of sailing for the crew. It works great in every sense of the word. However, because of the construction of the [Moon Ying Clan] and the Tree People, and Xia En converted a lot of money into equipment and invested it in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. The entire [Secret Realm], especially the area near [Rhine City], is changing rapidly. This is like an area on earth that developed rapidly during certain periods, almost changing every day. Therefore, every time they come, the crew will be novel and amazed by the changes in [Rhine City]. "Lord Holy Son!" Seeing Xia En and his party appear, Sha Jingjing, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted them. In her sparkling eyes, Xia En was almost the only one in sight. Of course Sha Jingjing also knew Joey and other crew members, but her attitude was vaguely alienated. Especially there is still a slight hostility towards Joey. Probably because she vaguely guessed that the reason why Xia En hadn''t had a child with her yet was related to this beautiful white-haired girl. But at this time, in addition to the usual joy and excitement, Sha Jingjing''s eyes also contained a bit of solemnity and uneasiness. In fact, [Rhine City] has entered a state of war readiness these days. The area for scouts to explore has been greatly reduced. Because the gathered beasts had already arrived at a place not too far away from [Rhine City]. An earth-shattering beast tide is about to sweep over. In this case, Xia En didn''t waste any time and took the crew directly to the city wall of [Rhine City]. "Lord Holy Son, according to your instructions, we have built five lines of defense." "It''s all basically finished now." At this time, Sha Jingjing showed her capable side again, reporting their results these days to Xia En. Obviously, at critical moments, this former tribal saint is still very reliable. Standing on the city wall, Xia En could have a panoramic view of the layout below. On the outermost line of defense is the detonating device he purchased from the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance]. It can be roughly regarded as a mine array. When the beast tide comes, it will undoubtedly cause great damage. The second line of defense is a circle of special thorn-like plants. This is also a good thing that Shane bought from the Federation. To be precise, this is an alchemical creation called [Bloodthirsty Thorn]. It can be spawned by secret power, and will actively intercept and cut charging creatures, and will enter a violent state after absorbing blood. The lethality is not high, but it can greatly hinder the charging speed of the beasts. And speed is the most important factor in intercepting the beast tide. In addition, Xia En also purchased similar props such as [Swamp Magic Potion], [Ice Rose] and [Mudstone Soil]. By then, it will definitely give the beasts attacking [Rhine City] a surprise. As for the third, fourth, and fifth lines of defense, they were all designed by Xia En and painstakingly built by the [Yongyue Clan] and the tree people. At this time, looking at the completed defense line below, Xia En felt confident and whispered to Sha Jingjing. "Thank you for your hard work these days." Sha Jingjing quickly shook her head and said, "It''s not hard, it''s not hard." She scratched her cheek and said, "Without those things brought by the Holy Son, how could we have built five lines of defense in such a short period of time?" "It''s all the result of the Holy Son." "You can''t say that." Xia En shook his head: "The resources I provide are certainly important, but without your efforts, I wouldn''t be able to do this alone." "hey-hey" Sha Jingjing giggled twice and swung her tail quickly behind her. Obviously, she was very happy to be praised by Xia En. At this moment, Sha Jingjing thought of another thing and said. "By the way, Lord Holy Son, don''t you say something to everyone in the [Moon Yong Clan] and the Tree People Clan?" "Say something?" Hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment. He didn''t expect this. But think about it. Now that the beast tide is coming, we need to mobilize before the war to enhance the morale and confidence of the soldiers. In fact, there is no need for Xia En to take the initiative to call on people from both ethnic groups. In the process of walking up the wall of [Rhine City], the surrounding [Moon Yong Clan] and tree people had already gathered, looking at Xia En with awe, respect, gratitude and other emotions. Feeling everyone''s gaze, Xia En also had some special emotions in his heart. So, he looked around at everyone and said. "Everyone, I am Xia En, and I am also the lord of this [Rhine City]!" During this time, I witnessed it transform from a meadow to a city. I am both proud and gratified about thisthis is the city you built and your new home! "I think... you can be just as proud." Upon hearing this, both the [Yongyue Clan] and the tree people couldn''t help but smile. Being able to build your own new home with your own hands is an exciting thing in itself. "But" Xia En changed the topic and pointed seriously to the forest in the distance. "Now, those beasts want to destroy our home and drive us out of here!" "I will never allow this kind of thing!" "This battle has nothing to do with right or wrong, it is only about survival!" "For the sake of our homeland and the loved ones behind us, this battle... must be won!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "We must win! We must win!" "Must win!!" (End of chapter) Chapter 314 Times have changed! Mysterious flute sound? Chapter 314 Times have changed! Mysterious flute sound? "Must win!" "Rhine! Must win!!" As the people of [Rhine City] shouted, they gradually became one. Xia En had some strange feelings in his mind. It was as if there was an indescribable connection being established between him and the people below. To be honest, this connection is somewhat similar to the "threads" used by Kuhl and Ural when they prayed to the "Lord of the Rhine". But there are obvious differences. For example, this kind of "thread" is more of a one-sided emotional transmission between the [Moon Yong Clan] and the tree people. Shane could not peer into the perspective of these people like he could sense the perspective of Kull and Ural, nor could he transmit the [Secret Power of the Void]. Suddenly, Xia En had an enlightenment in his heart and secretly guessed. "Could it be that this is the so-called ''power of faith''?" The "power of faith" is invisible and intangible, but in this world, it might actually exist. Maybe [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect] can call upon this power. Although Xia En had deceived these two esoteric sects by pretending to be a [Hui Cult Believer] and a [Yousui Descendant], he himself had never had any true belief in the gods. But now, he has become the object of belief of the people of [Rhine Secret Realm]. This feeling... is quite novel? Regardless of what this power does, Xia En looked at the high-spirited people below and couldn''t help but smile with satisfaction. Although it was just a pre-war mobilization on a whim, it seems now that the effect is quite good. Moreover, Xia En vaguely noticed The people of [Rhine City] not only had their morale improved, but they also seemed to be blessed by an invisible force? Perhaps this is because, as the [Lord of the Rhine], Xia En already carries the help of [The Will of the Secret Realm]. At this time, through his encouragement to the people of [Rhine City], this blessing or "luck" was also distributed to them. It is equivalent to giving all members a [morale improvement] and [luck increase] buff, which also gives them a little more chance of survival in the next battle. at the same time. The crew members behind him also looked at Xia En with surprised eyes. Although they had seen Xia En giving orders on the ship, it was still within the normal scope of a captain. But now, standing on the city wall of [Rhine City], feeling the heartfelt worship and respect shown by the residents, everyone was inevitably shocked. Joey opened his beautiful eyes wide, filled with wonder. "It turns out that this is how Mr. Captain is treated in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. He is almost like a lord...oh no, like a king!" When Feiya was in [Silver Moon Island], as the son of a consul, she could be regarded as enjoying a "noble" life for a period of time. However, the attitude of the residents of [Silver Moon Island] towards the consul cannot be compared with the support of the residents of [Rhine Secret Realm] towards Xia En. Because of this, Fei Ya understands how rare and rare this situation is. If this kind of support and trust is passed down from generation to generation. Then, [Rhine City] will undoubtedly become a reliable and powerful reserve force for Xia En in the future! Maybe by then, Xia En can pull out a fully armed army anytime and anywhere. Just imagining that situation, Fei Ya felt a surge of emotion. However, everyone''s amazement and emotion did not last long. Because at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the distance. Rumble Xia En looked towards the direction where the roar came from. I saw a black line appearing on the ground in the distance at some point, rushing towards the [Rhine City]. The ground began to tremble, and a melancholy roar of beasts sounded in the distant forest. The roar was like a wave, and there were probably at least thousands of ferocious beasts. And when they rushed out of the forest, they seemed to turn into a dense black cloud, with a majestic momentum, overwhelming force, and an extremely strong sense of oppression. Just looking at them makes people feel breathless. [Yongyue Clan] and the Shuren Clan watched this scene intently, holding their breath as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Xia En''s face was also a little solemn. In [Rhine Secret Realm], a single alien beast actually has very limited strength and is not terrible. But when their numbers continue to stack up and charge together, their power can only be described as terrifying. Just like in the cold weapon era, hundreds or thousands of cavalry charges were simply an unstoppable torrent for the civilization of that era. The power of an individual seems extremely small in the face of such a tide of beasts. I am afraid that only the legendary strong ones have the ability to defeat the beasts alone. Moreover, [Rhine City] also has a fatal flaw. That is The population is too small! Even if a newborn baby has been born in the [Rhine Secret Realm], the remaining baby cannot quickly become a usable combat force. Due to the characteristics of the [Yongyue Clan], all members of the tribe are soldiers. Apart from the elderly and children, the number of people who can be used as a fighting force is only about 500. As for the number of tree people, it is even rarer. The number of ferocious beasts that broke into sight now was at least a thousand. One can imagine how much pressure they will feel when the beast tide really approaches [Rhine City]. Moreover, Xia En still has a small wish in his heart. He did not want any people from [Rhineland] to die in this beast wave. Even if this idea sounds unrealistic, how can you know whether it can be done if you dont try it? boom! boom- The speed of the black line seemed very slow, but in fact it was surprisingly fast. In the blink of an eye, he pushed forward hundreds of meters. As the beast tide approached, the vibrations on the ground and the roar in the distance became increasingly clear. In the billowing smoke, the open mouths, sharp teeth, and scarlet eyes of the alien beasts were all vaguely visible. Seeing such a scene, even the Yongyue clan members who had been encouraged felt a little frightened. "Gulu..." Some people couldn''t help but swallowed their saliva, their throats felt dry. Although Xia En looked serious, his mind was always as calm as ice and snow. Looking at the violent beast, not only did he have a doubt in his mind. Under normal conditions, the creatures in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are generally relatively docile, especially those herbivoreseven the [Moon Wing Tribe] can be kept in captivity without much domestication. But now, they have shown their ferocious side and joined the beast tide. Moreover, the arrival of this beast tide is already full of doubts. Even if these local beasts want to destroy [Rhine City], they will not hide first and then swarm out after accumulating a certain number. This series of anomalies is simply like...someone is controlling this beast tide. Shane''s intuition told him that there might be some key secret hidden behind this. But at this time, it is obviously not the time to think deeply about this issue. Because, the distance between the beast tide and [Rhine City] has once again been greatly shortened. Not to mention the general Yongyue clan members, even Joey, Fei Ya and other battle-experienced crew members also showed some nervousness. Sha Jingjing bit her lip and asked in a low voice. "Lord Holy Son, do you want to..." "It''s not time yet." Xia En waved his hand and said, "Wait until they enter the maximum lethal range." "I will give the order when the time comes." Hearing this, Sha Jingjing''s eyes brightened slightly, as if she had gained some confidence again, and she nodded heavily and said, "Yes." Not only Sha Jingjing, but other Yongyue clan members are also waiting for Xia En''s order. Because of this, Xia En became more and more calm. If you want to achieve the achievement of zero casualties, you have to do every detail to the extreme. Not long after, Xia En waited for the arrival of the fighter plane. Just when the black crowd of beasts was less than a hundred meters away from the first line of defense, Xia En''s eyes burst into light and he shouted an order. "fire!" Following Xia En''s order, the Yongyue clan members who had been prepared for a long time immediately took action resolutely. On the city wall, heavy cannons began to be loaded and fired. -These heavy artillery are naturally the equipment Xia En purchased on [Liu Li Island]. They generally look silly, big, dark, and thick, and their accuracy can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but they are easy to operate, have large enough caliber, and are powerful enough! Just right for resisting the large-scale incoming beast tide. No shooting accuracy is required, just blast violently into the beast tide. It can be regarded as a targeted weapon purchased by Xia En to deal with this crisis. However, before many clumsy cannons were fired, beside Xia En, a strange heavy cannon with magnificent purple lines was ready to go. It''s the enhanced [Magic Heavy Cannon]! In order to deal with this beast tide, Xia En temporarily detached it from the [Black Swan] and brought it to the [Rhine Secret Realm]! At this moment, as the secret power continues to gather, the light in the muzzle of the heavy artillery becomes brighter and brighter. Then boom! ! An extremely thick beam of light poured out from the muzzle of the [Magic Heavy Cannon], blasting into the beast tide at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. "roar-" The giant, colorful tiger that bore the brunt of the attack only had time to let out an unwilling roar before it was completely melted by the surging beam of light. Immediately, the energy beam did not dissipate, but continued to penetrate the bodies of dozens of beasts. A ravine hundreds of meters long and several meters deep was plowed on the ground. The soil was scorched black and even showed signs of melting under the high temperature. Not to mention the corpses of the beasts that were swallowed up by the light, not even a single bone was left behind. Only a little bit of the burnt aroma of barbecue remains in the air. Such a ferocious and terrifying shot naturally stopped the momentum of the beast tide. Those beasts that had a brush with death could not help but show a little flinch and fear. However, the charge of the entire beast tide has been launched, and it will not stop just because of the pause of one or two alien beasts. As a result, these beasts were trampled under the feet of their companions after just a moment''s movement, and instantly turned into a ball of flesh. Seeing this terrifying beam of light crossing the battlefield, the members of the [Yongyue Clan] couldn''t help but let out a cheer. "The Holy Son has taken action!" At the same time, the artillery on the walls of [Rhine City] also began to roar in unison. boom! boom! boom! The solid shells hit the beasts like a rainstorm, causing dust to fly and the ground to shake. For every cannonball that fell, at least two to three alien beasts died. The fragments of the shells will also cause considerable secondary damage to nearby animals. For a time, roars, roars, and vibrations resounded throughout the battlefield outside [Rhine City]. Compared to the collision of cold weapons in the [Forge Secret Realm], the war in the [Rhine Secret Realm] has obviously entered the era of hot weapons. Of course, it was Xia En''s side that unilaterally entered the era of hot weapons. Xia En invested so many golden dragon coins, which naturally played a role at the critical moment. In this round of shelling alone, hundreds of alien beasts died on the spot, and countless more were injured. In fact, those beasts injured by cannonballs will become obstacles to the beast tide because of pain and fear. In fact, even the lighting of the light beam and the roar of the cannonballs themselves had caused quite a panic among the beasts. After all, these indigenous creatures have always lived in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Not to mention cannonballs, even gunpowder has never been seen. Beasts will naturally be frightened by weapons like this that produce loud noises and cause damage to the body. Seeing some signs of chaos in the beast tide, Xia En''s eyes flashed with joy. Again, a few beasts alone are not scary. Only when they gather together will they pose a threat to [Rhine City]. Strange beasts, times have changed! But at this moment. Another distant and desolate flute sounded from the direction of the forest. The tune was strange and ancient, as if it came from an extremely long time ago. After the flute sounded, several skunk-like beasts in the beast crowd immediately lit up with red eyes and sprayed a strange white smoke from their tails. Where the white smoke dispersed, the alien beasts seemed to be in a state of rage. Their breathing became heavy, their eyes were scarlet, veins popped out, and the muscles all over their bodies moved abnormally. Fear and pain all turned into bloodthirsty instincts. "roar!!" "Ouch!" The next moment, many strange beasts roared again and charged faster than before. It was as if the previous bombardment had never happened. "This is?!" Seeing this scene, Xia En frowned. The flute sound just now was obviously not a sound that a wild beast could make. It was definitely the work of some kind of intelligent creature. Could it be said that those are the indigenous residents of the [Rhine Secret Realm]? If this is the case, doesn''t the sound of the flute just mean that the natives have the ability to control native beasts? Then, the source of this beast tide seems to have been revealed. However, what is more important now than those longer-term things is to solve the immediate crisis. laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh! Without Xia En''s reminder, Sha Jingjing beside her picked up her long bow and shot at the skunk-like beasts. However, as the white smoke spreads, they have completed their mission. And now, the once again violent beast tide has rushed into the first line of defense of [Rhine City]! (End of chapter) Chapter 315 Beheading operation! [Mind Seizing Technique]! Chapter 315 Beheading operation! [Mind Seizing Technique]! Only a "boom" was heard. The galloping beasts slammed into the first line of defense arranged by Xia En, and instantly detonated the devices buried underground. The violent explosion directly flew several alien beasts away, and the alien beasts that were close were blown to pieces. However, it was different from the previous situation where I panicked when I heard the explosion. At this time, the alien beasts seemed to be on stimulants, completely ignoring the terrible explosion and rushing forward regardless of their own safety. Even the beasts that were blown to the ground struggled to stand up and charge again. It was as if the **** wounds on his body were all fake. In fact, the strange beasts in [Rhine Secret Realm] are harder to kill than the ordinary beasts in [Seven Seas World]. They live in a vibrant environment and naturally have strong bodies. The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the strength is endless. The most important thing is that he has strong vitality and will not die immediately even after being seriously injured. At this time, stimulated by the white smoke of the skunks that looked like "special troops", the alien beasts'' adrenaline hormones were violently secreted, making them no longer afraid of pain. In this way, even seriously injured beasts can still have the ability to move and merge into the surging beast tide. Although after the rage, they will definitely die miserably due to exhaustion of strength. But at least now, they have brought a lot of trouble to [Rhine City]''s defense. Buzz-boom! The second charged beam of [Magic Heavy Cannon] kicked off the second round of bombardment. In an instant, a loud noise like thunder roared outside the entire city. The shells roared across the sky, and then fell into the beast wave at the end of the parabola, stirring up waves of sand and leaving large craters with blood on the ground. Coupled with the "mine array" buried underground, the killing effect caused by this round of explosion is definitely considerable. However, Xia En''s brows still did not loosen. Because his most important goal was not achieved The speed of the entire beast wave did not slow down, and even increased by a point or two due to the effect of "Violent White Smoke". This is definitely not what Xia En wants to see. In less than five minutes, the beast tide basically broke through the area where the first line of defense was. Although the alien beasts suffered heavy casualties during this process, the death of their companions and the smell of blood in the air inspired their ferocity. At this time, the beasts at the forefront of the beast wave were generally seriously injured. One giant rhinoceros was blasted with blood all over its face, and shrapnel was stuck in the wound. The leopard-shaped beast next to it was missing a leg and half of its tail. But even so, they still let out terrifying roars from their mouths, their eyes were full of blood, and they seemed to feel no pain at all. Dragging their broken bodies, they rushed towards the [Rhine City] with all their strength. To be honest, the picture itself is quite impressive. Those who are less courageous may not even have the courage to resist in the face of this kind of beast tide. Xia En was inexplicably reminded of some zombie movies he had seen in his previous life. The so-called "Zombie Rising" was probably nothing more than this, right? That''s when. The violent beast tide has crossed the "mine field" and broke into the second line of defense that is filled with [bloodthirsty thorns] and other alchemical creations. Tsk- As soon as they rushed into this area, the beast wave heard the sound of flesh being torn apart. The surface of the [Bloodthirsty Thorns] is covered with barbs and barbs, coupled with the ferocious speed of the beasts. The sudden impact on it was like hitting an iron net covered with spikes, instantly tearing off strips of skin and flesh. It was **** and looked extremely miserable. If it were an ordinary thorn, it would naturally not be able to intercept the charging beasts, and might be torn and torn into pieces in the first place. However, [Bloodthirsty Thorns] is a product that Xia En spent a lot of money to buy after all. Each thorn is extremely tough, like a large net forged from fine steel. Even if Xia En wanted to tear them apart, it would take a lot of effort. Not only that, when the flesh was torn off and the blood was drawn, these [bloodthirsty thorns] changed strangely again. Their activity is greatly enhanced, and blood seems to be flowing in the roots, stimulating the body to grow and spread in ways that go against common sense. Each thorn is like a tentacle wrapped around the beasts caught in it. The barbs on it seemed to have turned into sharp teeth, constantly biting the flesh and blood of the beasts and sucking their blood! The beasts of [Rhine Secret Realm] are not the only creatures that can go crazy! [Bloodthirsty Thorn] This kind of alchemical creation, just like its name, will enter the second form when it comes into contact with blood, and crazily gnaws all living creatures nearby. The higher the quality of the blood, the more powerful the [Bloodthirsty Thorns] can be. It just so happens that the blood of the beasts in [Rhine Secret Realm] naturally contains strong vitality. It is the best nourishment for [Bloodthirsty Thorns]! Even in some areas of the Federation, it is treated as a taboo contraband. The danger of this kind of alchemical creation is evident. Moreover, it is different from one-time explosive damage such as artillery strikes and landmines. [Bloodthirsty Thorns] Once it bites its prey, it will never let go. Even if the branches are torn off, the spikes embedded in the prey''s body will continue to cause negative effects such as [bleeding], [tearing], [poisoning], and [paralysis] to the prey. Thereby reducing the speed of the entire beast tide. At this time, just as Xia En expected, intercepted by the [Bloodthirsty Thorns], the beasts were entangled in the thorns and their speed was greatly reduced. Many huge ferocious beasts continued their charge, plowing deep furrows on the ground. The one in front just stopped, and the one behind hit it again. In the blink of an eye, the beasts rolled over and fell all over the ground. Just the trampling and collision between wild beasts caused a lot of casualties. Seeing this, everyone''s eyes flashed with joy. "The speed of the beast tide has slowed down!" Xia En made a prompt decision and started the third round of bombardment while the beasts were entangled in thorns. But just as the shells rained down. The ancient mysterious flute sound came from the forest again, but this time the flute sound was obviously much faster. Immediately, among the beasts, several existences that were obviously different from other beasts emerged. A giant white elephant with metallic scales looked up to the sky and roared. The next moment, there was an invisible air barrier blocking the beast tide. The cannonballs falling on it only caused waves of vibrations, but could not cause any damage to the beasts below. On the other side, a petite fire fox with red and soft hair rushed to the forefront of the beast tide, spitting out a sea of ??fire at the [bloodthirsty thorns] in front of it. Of course, the flames will also cause considerable damage to the beasts, but compared to the entanglement of the [bloodthirsty thorns], it is much better. Moreover, the burning caused by the fire can also temporarily seal the injuries on the alien beasts. I have to say, this is a very smart decision. Its so smart that its not like the ferocious beasts could figure it out on their own. This made Xia En even more convinced that behind this beast tide, there might be control by the natives of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. However, the [Moon Yong Tribe] and the Tree People have obviously moved into the [Rhine Secret Realm] for some time. The scope of exploration is also gradually expanding. But why have we never found the territory where the indigenous people lived or the traces of civilization? Xia En was quite puzzled by this. Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xia En''s eyes were fixed on the ferocious beasts with different abilities. Obviously, they are alien species in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. In other words, he is the king of beasts born among the beasts. It is not difficult to see from their methods that they have learned some rough methods of using secret power. If left unchecked, the effectiveness of conventional means such as the cannonballs and [Bloodthirsty Thorns] prepared by Shane would be greatly attenuated. Just when Xia En was considering whether to take action himself. Fei Ya on the side volunteered and said, "Captain Xia En, those beast kings can be dealt with by me and An." Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised: "Feiya, you..." In his mind, this was not something Fei Ya would say. After all, Feiya''s position on the ship is more like a priest or a steam mechanic, and he rarely needs to take action personally. Fei Ya smiled slightly: "Actually, with the awakening of my bloodline, I have recently unlocked some new combat abilities." "It''s just suitable for this kind of group battle situation, so I want to practice with them." "and" Fei Ya glanced at the Moon Yong tribe and the tree people below, and said bluntly: "Besides us, no one can complete this task, right?" Although Fei Ya''s words were a bit straightforward, they also pointed out a key issue in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. That is Too little high-end combat power! Except for Xia En, the [Lord of the Rhine], there are not many strong men in the [Yongyue Tribe] who can do anything. Although the tree people are physically strong, they are naturally slow and cumbersome, equivalent to tanks on the battlefield. Damage resistance is a good thing, but it is a bit difficult to let them perform decapitation actions. Especially in such a swarm of beasts, large targets will undoubtedly become the targets of siege. Therefore, Xia En actually placed the tree people on the third line of defense. I want to wait until the speed of the beast tide decreases to a certain level before letting them take the field. As for Xia En himself, it is not impossible to take action now. But after all, he is the city lord of [Rhine City], which is equivalent to the final trump card. It would be a bit hasty to reveal it at the first opportunity. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Xia En decided to trust Fei Ya''s judgment. "Then, be careful!" After Xia En made his decision, Fei Ya and Fei Ya were about to join the battlefield when Joey said, "Wait a moment, I''ll add some auxiliary spells to you." As he spoke, Joey chanted magic at an extremely fast speed, adding spells such as [Light Body], [Body Strengthening], [Secret Power Reversal Acceleration] and so on in one breath, and then stopped. "Thanks." Feiya waved her hands and spread a pair of wings made of blood behind her. At the same time, An also quickly adjusted the armor to "flight mode." Immediately afterwards, the two of them flew into the beast tide below one after the other. The reason why Xia En felt comfortable letting them carry out such a dangerous mission was because he knew their flying capabilities. In such a battle situation, being able to fly means being able to leave the battlefield at any time. In fact, Feiya''s performance far exceeded Xia En''s expectations. Perhaps because of the special nature of the [Holy Bloodline] bloodline, after Fei Ya entered the beast group, the nearby beasts immediately showed a slight awe, as if they were afraid to approach him. However, in a beast tide, it is inevitable that strange beasts will involuntarily approach Feiya''s location. At this time, Feiya let out a low growl from her mouth. The roar was not loud, and might sound cute to ordinary people, but it made the surrounding beasts instinctively fearful. There were even many beasts whose legs weakened and collapsed on the ground. However, there are also many ferocious beasts that are stimulated by the white smoke and become ferocious, and are not deterred by Fei Ya. At this time, the benefits of playing in pairs become apparent. An fully demonstrated the protective abilities a knight should have, and defended Fei Ya from all attacks from behind. It was like becoming his shadow. The target of the two people was suddenly the giant elephant using the "shield" ability. After solving it, [Rhine City]''s artillery support can continue to be effective. The giant white elephant is covered in scales and has rough skin and thick flesh, making it difficult to kill it with conventional methods. The giant elephant seemed to know this, so he looked at the two small people in front of him with a hint of contempt. It''s like saying, I''m standing here, what can you do to me? Feiya was not impatient and landed directly on the giant white elephant, her feet as steady as if they were rooted. Then he said to Ann: "Give me a moment." Ann didn''t speak, but the silent knight was a symbol of reliability. One beast after another kept coming, but An''s figure was always as steady as a rock in the sea. It seemed that no matter how many wild beasts came, they could not shake his figure. At the same time, Fei Ya''s eyes turned pale gold, as if searching for something in the giant elephant''s body. After a moment, blood flashed in his eyes. "Found it." Immediately, Feiya stretched out her hand, as if grabbing something in the dark, and then... pulled hard! Tsk! A huge, fat heart appeared from his hands. Feiya used one hand to crush it. There was a bang and blood splattered everywhere. The giant white elephant let out a startled cry, and its huge body fell to the ground. This newly awakened innate ability was named [Mind Seizing Technique] by Feiya. It can directly seize the enemy''s heart, but it requires a certain amount of casting time. It was a creature with limited mobility like the giant white elephant that gave Feiya the opportunity to use the [Mind Seizing Technique]. Seeing the giant white elephant crashing to the ground, a burst of cheers erupted in [Rhine City] again. Although the "little girl" looks very thin, "her" record has proven her strength. Naturally, he gained the respect of the people of [Rhine City]. Xia En vaguely remembered the first time he met Fei Ya. -Although he looks gentle, he has never been a vase. Perhaps...such a battlefield is more suitable for Fei Ya to perform? (End of chapter) Chapter 316 A bumper harvest and an unexpected surprise! Chapter 316 A bumper harvest and an unexpected surprise! As if stimulated by this scene, Sha Jingjing''s eyes changed slightly. Although she, Feiya and others are all Xia En''s subordinates, the relationship between the two parties is not that close, but there are some gaps. It''s like two factions under one company. Sha Jingjing is from the [Rhine] line, while Fei Ya and others are the orthodox direct descendants of the [Black Swan]. It is definitely not hostile, but it is inevitable that the idea of ????"not wanting to compare differences" will arise, which can be regarded as a beneficial competition model. So Sha Jingjing took the initiative to speak. "Lord Holy Son, leave that fire fox to me." Before she finished speaking, she picked up her long bow. The dark yellow secret power gradually accumulates on the arrow, giving people the feeling that the arrow will hit it no matter what. This is an ancient skill mastered by Sha Jingjing, which gives bows and arrows a "sure hit" effect. At this time, the target she was aiming at was the fire fox that breathed fire at the [Bloodthirsty Thorns]. Compared with the giant white elephant standing still, this fire fox''s movements are extremely flexible and agile. It was like a jumping flame elf, moving around at the front of the beast tide, and it was difficult to catch its figure with the eyes. Precisely because of its petite size and rapid speed, even Fei Ya and the two of them had difficulty catching up with it in the tide of beasts. suddenly. As if aware of the hidden danger, the soft hair on Fire Fox''s body exploded instantly. It spread its legs, its speed surged again, and it dodged crazily in the tide of beasts, trying to avoid the fatal murderous intention. However, all these actions are in vain! As Sha Jingjing loosened the bowstring in her hand, the dark yellow arrow flew out suddenly. Its flight trajectory is completely different from ordinary arrows, as if it flies directly across space. One second it was near the city wall, and the next second it appeared beside the fire fox, shooting into the body of the beast king at a tricky angle. There was a "chi" sound, and blood spattered. Firefox''s body stiffened suddenly, and then let out a sharp cry of pain. But this arrow obviously can''t really kill it. then The second, third...and even the fifth long dark yellow arrow came to the fire fox one after another like chasing the stars and chasing the moon. It penetrated the Fire Fox''s body from all directions and turned it into a little hedgehog. Immediately, surging secret power erupted from the arrow, destroying the flesh and blood inside the fire fox wantonly. This strange beast finally couldn''t bear the torture and died completely after spitting out a mouthful of blood. After shooting these five life-threatening arrows in one breath, Sha Jingjing''s little face was also white as snow. She couldn''t help but breathe heavily, and her hands holding the bow were trembling slightly. Obviously, this kind of output method also puts a lot of burden on Sha Jingjing. However, even though Sha Jingjing was so tired, she still looked at Xia En with bright eyes. The meaning in that look is clearly saying "Come on, praise me! Come on, praise me!" Xia En saw Sha Jingjing''s thoughts at a glance, so he reached out to touch the top of her head and praised her at the same time. "Well done, you did a great job." "hey-hey" Sha Jingjing smiled with enjoyment, and her tail behind her swung like a propeller. Her loyal dog nature has become more and more obvious. However, Xia En''s gesture of reaching out and touching his head was just out of habit - just like petting the big dog at home, it had no special meaning. But at the same time, a slightly resentful look came from behind Xia En. Who is it if not Joey? Xia En''s arm suddenly stiffened. But then I thought about it, he didn''t do anything bad. He was just petting his own big dog. What was there to panic about? Even so, Xia En calmly retracted his hand. Then, Joey spoke. "Mr. Captain, I''m going to take action too." After saying that, a serious look appeared on Joey''s pretty face, and he began to chant a slightly lengthy spell. Different from the previous auxiliary spells, this magical spell is particularly obscure and difficult to understand, and the huge secret power gathers around the girl like a storm. Her long silver-white hair moved automatically without wind, showing a mithril-like texture in the sunlight. Those ruby-like pupils even flashed with a faint blue halo. The next moment. A soft drink came from Joey''s mouth. The surging secret power suddenly poured out. The target is not the tide of beasts below, but the ground beneath the beasts'' feet. boom! A large area of ??soil collapsed with a crash, and the beasts'' bodies fell uncontrollably into the pit. Just one fall caused many beasts to be seriously injured, making it difficult for them to get up again. Not only that, the soil in the pit quickly softened into something like a swamp. The beasts lost most of their ability to move just by stepping on it. The more you struggle, the deeper you sink. This is the chain magic of [Subterranean Spell] plus [Swamp Spell]. Simply speaking, these two spells themselves are not particularly high-level magic. But when used together, especially on the battlefield where the beast tide is attacking at this time, it has an unexpected effect. And the scene was extremely spectacular, as almost one-third of the beast tide was affected by these two magics. The roars and wails of the ferocious beasts suddenly echoed through the sky. The speed of the entire beast wave slowed down instantly. In fact, with Joey''s current ability, it is not impossible to cast more lethal magic. But the girl knew very well that right now, it was more important to control their progress than to kill the ferocious beasts, so as not to cause an impact on [Rhine City]. Apparently, Joey''s strategy worked! However, the scope of these two spells is so wide, and it also puts a huge burden on her. Therefore, after the spell was cast, Joey''s face immediately turned white, his body swayed, and he was about to fall backwards. Fortunately, Xia En had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately stepped forward to support Joey. Joey fell into Xia En''s arms, still on his shoulders, and glanced provocatively at Sha Jingjing next to him. Sha Jingjing was a little worried about her at first, but when she saw her provocative eyes, she suddenly woke up. Well, it turns out she had all planned it! Deliberately draining all his magic power, he fell so weak into the arms of the Holy Son! ''hateful! Despicable stranger! Sha Jingjing''s eyes widened. She was just a little loyal, not stupid! However, Sha Jingjing could not think of a way to expose Joey. Moreover, no matter what Joy was thinking, judging from the results, she did use up her secret power, which in exchange for the restricted movement of many beasts, protected [Rhine City] in disguise. If anything, Sha Jingjing would have to thank her! Because of this, Sha Jingjing could only stare at Joey angrily, but couldn''t say a word. Of course, Xia En didn''t know about the potential intrigue between the two women, so he just praised her sincerely. "Joy, you did a great job, thank you for your hard work." But at this time, Joey whispered: "That, I want too..." "What do you want?" Xia En was stunned, not understanding the girl''s intention. But after Joey pointed to the top of his head, he suddenly realized. It turned out to be a head-touch! After thinking about this clearly, Xia En couldn''t help but smile bitterly. You are not a big dog of the [Yongyue Tribe], why are you obsessed with touching your head? However, Joey''s requirements are tricky, but they are actually very satisfying. Shane touched Joey''s little head while looking down the city wall. In fact, due to the chain reaction of this plan [Subterranean Technique] and [Swamp Technique], the situation has basically been decided. Although the ferocious beasts are still resisting fiercely, they are now like beached whales or tigers in cages. The threat has been greatly reduced. As long as you patiently remove their claws and eliminate their vitality, [Rhine City] can completely swallow this beast tide. Xia En knew from the beginning that this beast tide was not only a crisis, but also a great opportunity. From the corpse of such a strange beast, I dont know how much flesh and blood can be cut off, and how many bones and scales can be obtained. The former is an important food reserve, while the latter are all good materials. Whether it is for personal use or sold to the Seven Seas for money, it can bring great benefits to [Rhine City]. And in the beast tide, there must be many beasts that can survive. Xia En plans to exchange some of the alien species for merit in the Federation, and the remaining part can be raised in [Rhine City] first. Use contracts, magic and other means to help them become [Rhine City]. In the future, whether it is to prepare them [Rhine City], officially convert them into regular workers, or domesticate them into livestock that lay eggs and produce milk, these are all things that can be considered. It also happens to solve the problem of insufficient mid-to-high-end combat power in [Rhine Secret Realm]. It can be said that as long as it eats this wave of beasts, [Rhine City] will definitely usher in a rapid development period. An inappropriate metaphor. In fantasy novels, a tide of beasts is like a catastrophe from the [Rhine Secret Realm]. If you can''t resist it, everything will come to an end. But if you get through it, you can actually get a lot of benefits from it. At this time, the battle between Fei Ya and An continued. A ferocious beast covered in armor lowered its head and charged towards the two men fiercely. Fei Ya was lifted up by the wind, soaring lightly into the air. The glove in her hand transformed into a long knife. With a single stab, it went straight into the armored beast''s vitals, reaching as deep as the handle. He ran with the armored beast for a while, then jumped towards another ferocious beast. The armored beast ran for hundreds of meters, minding its own business, when suddenly its legs gave way and it fell to the ground. Feiya''s fighting style is completely different from before, becoming more agile and agile. All ferocious beasts that come into contact with him will fall to the ground after a while - this is another [Holy Bloodborn] talent that he has awakened. Watching Feiya''s battle is like enjoying a song and dance, which is indescribably pleasing to the eye. Ann on the other side took another route. Open and close, simple and rough. The big sword swung horizontally in the tide of beasts, sweeping down one piece, and then swung it horizontally, sweeping down another group... Seeing the swamps all over the ground and the results of Fei Ya''s battle, Xia En felt quite emotional and happy. It turned out that without even realizing it, his crew had grown to such an extent that everyone had become a capable person. You don''t even need to take action yourself, you can basically survive this beast crisis. However, at this moment. In the tide of beasts, a shocking roar suddenly sounded. "roar!!" A giant creature that looked like a wild boar stood out from the chaotic tide of beasts. Although this wild boar looks like a living thing, it is very different from other ferocious beasts. Its body is silver-white, and both its hair and skin give people a texture closer to stone than flesh. It''s like a strange creature made of silver and white stones. Moreover, as the stone pig moved, the mud under its feet miraculously returned to its normal state. There seemed to be an invisible area surrounding the silver-white stone pig, and it was still expanding as it moved. Its like a special field! The appearance of this stone pig allowed the ferocious beasts trapped in the quagmire to regain a certain degree of mobility and have a tendency to charge again. Seeing this scene, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. "Wait...what is that?" Although he had never seen a similar creature in the [Rhine Secret Realm], he noticed a very familiar aura of mysterious power from the silver-white stone pig. After carefully sensing it for a moment, Xia En showed a surprised expression. "Is this breath [Rhinestone]?" To be more precise, it is the breath of [Rhinestone Essence]! In other words, this entire silver-white stone pig is made of [Rhinestone Essence]? Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a bit of fire in his eyes. Good guy, there is such a treasure in [Rhine Secret Realm]? You know, the current sales volume of [Rhinestone] in the Federation is so good that even Xia En is amazed. In particular, the higher-quality [Rhinestone Essence] has become a hot commodity that is in short supply. Whether it is in the Federation Navy or the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], it is extremely popular. Ms. Sophie, who was in charge of the contact, urged me several times to ask if there was more inventory. If Xia En hadn''t been blinded by greed, he might have wanted to sell the stone essence used to build [Rhine City]. It can also be seen from this. Even in the [Rhine Secret Realm], [Rhinestone Essence] is a relatively scarce resource. And now, there is actually such a huge stone pig made entirely of [Rhinestone Essence]. How can this not make Xia En excited? On the side, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized. "I remember that some time ago, there were traces of animal activity in the mine where [rhinestone] was excavated." "So it turns out that this [Rhinestone Essence] is a naturally formed magical creature?" "[Rhine Secret Realm] is really magical..." at the same time. A line of text flashed across Shane''s panel. [Exploration degree +0.8%! A realization arose in Xia En''s heart. It was like discovering some important and unique species, which caused a change in the [Exploration Degree]. Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, stepped on the ground hard, jumped up high, and headed straight for the silver-white stone pig. In mid-air, he activated the effect of [Giant Wristwheel]. Amidst the roar of Qi and blood, Xia En''s body continued to expand and expand. boom- With an earth-shattering vibration, a majestic giant fell in front of the stone pig. (End of chapter) Chapter 317 Conquer all the money, Xian Ge wakes up! Chapter 317 Conquer Panman, Xiange wakes up! Boom Where Xia En fell, spider web-like cracks spread on the ground. Then, the ground sank, forming a large pit that happened to contain him and the silver-white [Rhinestone Pig]. This dull loud noise not only hit the ground, but also hit the hearts of all beasts. "Aww..." The oppressive feeling brought by the huge size and ferocious power made the nearby strange beasts instinctively feel fear and even let out low whines. Previous shelling, landmines, [Bloodthirsty Thorns], chain spells... Although it also brought a great impact to the beast tide, in the eyes of the alien beasts with low intelligence, it was more like a "natural disaster" rather than a specific enemy. As for Fei Ya and An''s actions, they only affected the beast tide on a smaller scale. Many more beasts are not even aware of their existence. But now, such a giant fell from the sky, which naturally attracted the attention of most beasts. It also made them feel a gap in life levels. In addition, the violent effect of the white smoke began to fade, and the fear of powerful life forms resurfaced. It can be said that this giant awakened their fear of being dominated. The strange beasts around him didn''t even have the courage to attack the giant Xia En. On the other hand, in [Rhine City], the morale of the Moon Yong clan and the tree people reached its peak because of Xia En''s action. It was actually the first time for many of them to see Shane transform into a giant. But since he is the Holy Son, it is normal to master any kind of ability. -They have long been numbed by Xia En''s shock, so they have strong "surprise resistance" and self-repair ability. I dont know who shouted first. "Lord of the Rhine!" Then, people started shouting Xia En''s title in unison. "Lord of the Rhine! Lord of the Rhine! Lord of the Rhine!" Waves of louder sounds began to echo in [Rhine City]. At the same time, their awe, admiration, excitement and other emotions seemed to be continuously transmitted to Xia En through those invisible threads. Xia En has already thought of a way to use this superficial "power of faith". His [Secret Power of the Void] can assimilate and swallow most of the secret power, and this "power of faith" is no exception. He does not use the "power of faith" directly, but uses it after secondary transformation. The reason why he did this was because Xia En vaguely realized that directly using this "power of faith" might bring about some unknown changes. As for whether this change was good or bad, Xia En didn''t know yet, so he chose this lower-risk method. Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia En lowered his head and looked at the silver-white stone pig below. It has to be said that compared to other strange beasts, this stone pig is already very large. If he stood upright, he would not be much shorter than the giant Xia En. Moreover, its courage is quite commendable. After seeing Xia En appearing in front of him, instead of running away, the stone pig kept kicking on the ground with its hind legs, and then rushed directly towards him. Charging together with the stone pig, there is also the invisible secret power surrounding it. Only when he came into contact with this secret power in person did Xia En be able to confirm Yes, this is a field! Since the alien beasts in [Rhine Secret Realm] have the means to control their secret power, it is normal for the best among them to be able to master the field. And the domain of this [Rhinestone Pig] seems to have the effect of [purification] and [compression]. Therefore, when it launched a charge, the surrounding air seemed to turn into a solid wall of air, crashing into Xia En like a mountain. However, compared to head-on confrontation, Xia En has never been afraid of anyone! His eyes flashed, he let out a low shout, and punched out without hesitation, directly hitting the [Rhinestone Pig]''s territory with the power of wind and thunder. The compressed version of [Big Dark Sky] fits on Xia En''s body like a battle suit, giving him even more power. This collision seemed to be a collision between a fist and a wall of air. In fact, it is already a confrontation between two fields! As soon as he came into contact with it, Xia En was slightly shocked by the strength of the secret power of [Rhinestone Pig]. But think about it. As a unique creature born in the [Rhine Secret Realm], its entire body is composed of [Rhinestone Essence] which contains a large amount of secret power. It is equivalent to a natural secret power container that can store such a massive amount of secret power. However, the large amount alone cannot play an absolute role in such a battle. [Rhinestone Pig] gave Xia En the feeling that he had a huge secret power, but he didn''t learn a more sophisticated way to control it, so he could only use the crudest method to pour out the secret power. This leads to the fact that the secret power of the entire field is as vast as the sea, but the defense of a single "point" is relatively weak. Therefore, Xia En simply changed his mind and concentrated all his strength and secret power on the fist. It seemed to turn into a thick and hard spike, piercing hard into the territory of [Rhinestone Pig]. Take some Arrancar! Click In the dark, there seemed to be a broken sound. The compressed solid air suddenly shattered, and the entire field was torn open by Xia En. Immediately, Xia En kept walking and rushed towards the [Rhinestone Pig] with rapid strides. "Goo ho!" The territory suffered a heavy blow, and [Rhinestone Pig] was obviously not feeling well. Silver-white "blood" flowed out of its ears and nose, and it raised its head and let out an angry roar. at the same time. Other secret powers in the domain are like thick mud, squeezing out from all directions. In an attempt to overwhelm Xia En and block his progress. However, Xia En''s overall quality of 17.5 once again showed his unreasonable side. Pure numerical value, pure power! Xia En''s body shook, and the vast secret power pressing down like a mountain was released. Even under this heavy pressure, he was still walking on flat ground, even faster than before! In just two breaths, Xia En rushed in front of the silver-white stone pig like an evil tiger and hugged its two hind legs. Then, he lifted it high and dropped it! boom! The ground shook again, and the scope of the pit was further expanded. This fall directly knocked the stone pig into confusion and made it dizzy. The surrounding secret power field can no longer be maintained. Xia En wasn''t going to stop just yet. He raised his fist as big as a small mountain bag and prepared to give the stone pig a set of facial punches. If these punches were hit hard, it would be like several mountains crashing down on him, and the stone pig would probably lose half of his life. At this critical moment of life and death, the silver-white stone pig suddenly raised its head and screamed with all its strength. "Goo hum... coo hum..." Compared with the previous howling in the middle stage, these two screams were weak and more like pitiful pleas for mercy. At the same time, Xia En also saw a bit of human pleading in Stone Pig''s eyes. If it were an ordinary strange beast, Xia En might just kill it casually. But this [Rhine Stone Pig] is indeed very special, so special that it is the only one that Xia En has seen since he obtained the [Rhine Secret Realm]. On the one hand, there is indeed much to study about it. A living alien beast obviously has higher research value. On the other hand, Xia En was a little worried that these few punches would break the [Rhinestone Essence] on the [Rhinestone Pig]. -This is all his money! Just then. After seeing the last beast king [Rhinestone Pig] being subdued by Xia En, and seemingly realizing that the situation was over, the rapid flute sound sounded again in the distant forest. Compared with the previous one, the sound of the flute was faster and faster, full of anxiety and anger. The ferocious beasts on the outermost edge suddenly felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Each one of them, with their tails between their legs, fled towards the forest as hard as they could. Apparently, the sound of the flute had become a signal to retreat. When the [Rhinestone Pig] heard the sound of the flute, its pair of small eyes lit up slightly at first, and then quickly dimmed. In front of this terrifying two-legged creature, it wanted to escape but couldn''t! Seeing the ferocious beasts escaping one after another, Xia En did not stop them. Because the beasts that can escape only account for a small part of the beast tide. The remaining alien beasts have either died under the double blow of artillery fire and alchemical creations, and will remain on this battlefield forever. Or, it would be stuck in a swamp, unable to move, and become a piece of fish on the chopping board. Moreover, with the population of [Rhine City], so much loot is enough for them to take a long time to digest. Xia En looked towards the direction of the forest, vaguely feeling that there were many eyes peering at him there. "Oh" He sneered, pointed toward the forest, and said coldly, regardless of whether the native races that might exist understood it or not. "Although I don''t know what you are, but since you dare to attack [Rhine City], you must be prepared to be destroyed." "I...will find you!" Xia En''s voice roared like thunder, reaching an extremely far distance without dissipating. Most of the native races in the forest could not understand his words, but they could understand the strong threat in the voice. The sound of the flute that just came suddenly stopped. The vague feeling of being spied on quickly escaped Xia En. "Humph, you are quite timid." After confirming that the unknown native race had been scared away, Xia En transformed back into a normal human shape, and then began to clean the battlefield with the people in [Rhine City] and count the spoils of the battle. The only thing more exciting than licking a bag is licking lots and lots of bags! This beast wave came and went away just as quickly. The entire battle took less than twenty minutes. Instead, it took nearly three hours to clean the battlefield. This was despite the fact that the corpses of many strange beasts could not be completely transported back to the city. After all, Xia En was also the city lord of [Rhine City], so he only participated in the initial cleaning work, and was soon invited back to the city by the Yongyue tribe. In their own words, they did almost nothing in this battle, at least they wanted to contribute to this kind of link. Xia En had no choice but to enjoy the treatment that a wave of city lords deserved. It was not until evening that this hearty harvest came to an end. Sha Jingjing''s face was covered with sweat and her cheeks were red. She excitedly reported the results of this battle to Xia En. "Lord Holy Son, this time we harvested a total of more than 1,500 corpses of alien beasts and more than 800 living alien beast captives." "There are twenty-four beast king-level beings among them, and there are still ten surviving beast kings." Listening to Sha Jingjing''s report, Xia En couldn''t help but evoke the smile of an old farmer during a good harvest. Although the price of each exotic beast is difficult to measure due to individual differences. However, after a rough estimate, it is not difficult to judge that the income from this battle is definitely greater than Xia En''s expenditure. Not only that, the environment in the nearby forest has also become much safer because of this wave of beasts. The people of [Rhine City] can take advantage of this opportunity to expand their territory further afield. "Right." At this time, Sha Jingjing remembered another thing and said. "And the stone pig made of [rhinestone spirit], we also discovered a special ability of it." Xia En was a little curious: "What ability?" "You''ll know just when you come over and take a look." Later, Xia En followed Sha Jingjing to the place where [Rhinestone Pigs] were kept. "Hum..." Upon seeing Xia En''s arrival, the fat white stone pig''s legs suddenly softened and huddled up timidly. Obviously, the previous battle left a deep psychological shadow on it. "Lord Holy Son, please look." Sha Jingjing pointed to the ground next to Stone Pig, where there were several ordinary, gray-white [Rhinestones]. "This is" Xia En was a little confused at first, but after seeing the changes on the [Rhinestone], he couldn''t help but feel shocked. I saw that the color of these [Rhinestones] was slowly deepening, and the secret power contained in them was also becoming more intense. This change is simply like... Transforming from [Rhinestone] to [Rhinestone Essence]! Xia En suddenly raised his head and looked at the stone pig in front of him with burning eyes. Obviously, this is the innate ability of this stone pig! Its field is related to [Purification] and [Compression], which means that as long as [Rhinestone] is placed next to it, new [Rhinestone Essence] will be continuously produced! Ordinary stones may also be transformed into [Rhinestone]. To put it simply, this stone pig is the manufacturing machine for [Rhinestone] and [Rhinestone Essence]! Maybe the several [Rhinestone] mines previously discovered by the Yongyue Tribe are closely related to it. It is literally a living money tree! Xia En was immediately very happy. Fortunately, he didn''t kill it directly before, otherwise he would definitely regret it now. Xia En could still tell which was more important, a large vat of water or a living spring. Thinking of this, Xia En reached out and touched the stone pig''s thigh. "From now on...you''ll be full of money!" The so-called piggy bank refers to a container for storing money, often in the shape of a piggy, which is equivalent to the piggy bank in ancient times. It is a perfect name for this stone pig. Xia En drew the pie skillfully: "Don''t worry, as long as you work hard, I will ensure that you have enough to eat and drink, and you can wander around [Rhine City] if you want." "Humph?" Panman was a little skeptical. But the pig is under the roof, and there seems to be no other way except to believe in it. It was just when Xia En was doing some ideological work for Pumian. Seven seas world. On the [Black Swan], a little dragon that had been sleeping for a long time opened its eyes. (End of chapter) Chapter 318 Two Vivian, the upgraded [Forging Fire Technique] Chapter 318 Two Vivian, the upgraded [Fire Forging Technique] "Well..." At this time, Xian Ge was still in the "little dragon girl" state of mimicry magic. A pair of cute big eyes opened drowsily, looking like they hadn''t woken up yet. "Captain Shane?" The first thing Xian Ge did when she opened her eyes was to look for Xia En on the ship. However, after her senses expanded outward, she found that the entire ship seemed empty. Not only Captain Shane, but also Joey and other crew members were missing. The boat was empty and very quiet. After realizing this, Xian Ge''s eyes suddenly widened, even a little panicked. What''s going on? Why is it that everyone has disappeared after I slept? ! For a moment, Xian Ge even felt like the sky was about to fall. Although Xian Ge behaved very arrogantly at the beginning, he looked down on this ship [Black Swan] a little bit. But as time goes by, Xian Ge has long regarded himself as a member of the [Black Swan], and has also regarded the other crew members as his partners. This can actually be seen from her subsequent performance. So at this time, when he found out that no one else was on board the Black Swan, Xian Ge felt as if he had been left behind. But Xian Ge then thought about it and realized that the Black Swan was extremely important to Captain Shane. Its impossible to leave the [Black Swan] behind, right? Maybe... I just happen to not be on the ship? After calming down, Xian Ge turned around and found a note on the captain''s desk next to him. The note roughly explained that Xia En and others went to the [Rhine Secret Realm] to deal with the beast tide, and told Xian Ge not to worry The tone and tone are quite similar to the sticky notes left by parents for their children when they go out. It also has Shane and Joey''s signatures on it. After reading the content on the note, Xian Ge breathed a sigh of relief. "Let me tell you, how could Mr. Captain leave me behind?" "It''s a pity. I remembered a lot of things this time, and I wanted to tell Captain Shane as soon as possible..." Recalling the memory of waking up from this deep sleep, Xian Ge''s expression became a little serious. "It turns out...the ancient dragon was not really extinct, but migrated to other worlds before the disaster struck!" "And that world is called [Dragon''s Nest]!" As Xian Ge''s awakening level becomes higher and higher, some information contained in his bloodline begins to emerge in the form of memory. And this piece of information about the secret realm of [Dragon Nest] is actually a direction for the ancient dragon species left in [Seven Seas World]. Tell it where the ancient dragon''s home is now. And vaguely, Xian Ge also felt a calling from somewhere. It seemed that his fellow tribesmen in the secret realm of [Dragon''s Nest] were calling him. Xian Ge had a hunch that if he responded to this call and went to the secret realm of [Dragon''s Nest], he might think of more memories before his "reincarnation". Her strength will also undergo a huge improvement. Xian Ge felt that such a big secret must be shared with Xia En, and it could also be regarded as a small surprise for the captain. However, Xian Ge didn''t know that during the time she was sleeping. Xia En has already arrived at [Liu Li Island] and learned similar information from the librarian Jane Vivian. "By the way, there''s also Vivian and the crystal coffin..." At this time, Xian Ge remembered another important thing. When Vivian first boarded the ship, Xian Ge felt that she gave him a sense of dj vu. After falling asleep this time, Xian Ge was able to confirm that that "familiarity" was not aimless. because In her past memories, that mysterious and strange crystal coffin appeared! This means that she might have met Vivian in that extremely distant past! If Xia En knew about this, he would definitely feel extremely incredible. According to the description on the "Vivian" crew panel, she was a strange spirit created before the Great Flood. The memory of Xiange''s past life goes back to the ancient times when ancient dragons still existed and elves had not yet risen. There may not even be much communication between elves and ancient dragons. How did the two of them meet? Although Xian Ge didn''t know Vivian''s life experience, she also knew how outrageous it was to meet an old antique of the same age as herself. So I thought about telling Xia En the news as soon as possible, but I didn''t expect that he happened to not be on the ship. But soon, Xian Ge raised his eyebrows and looked at the wall beside him. She sensed an aura approaching. At the same time, Xian Ge suddenly realized that although there was no "person" on board the [Black Swan] at this time, there was still a ghost! The next moment. Vivian''s translucent body passed through the wall and came to the captain''s room. As soon as he saw her, Xian Ge couldn''t help but tuck his tail, his whole body trembled slightly, and even the scales on the dragon''s tail tended to stand up. This reaction is somewhat similar to the exploding fur of cats. When facing Vivian in the past, Xian Ge had never felt like this. Just because At this time, Miss Ghost seems to have changed! The previous lazy and sleepy temperament was removed from Vivian, replaced by a kind of rational coldness, and a mysterious texture lingered around her, filled with a dangerous and eye-catching magical beauty. The look in those eyes made Xian Ge feel extremely strange. In other words, at this moment, Vivian truly showed the proper posture of [Nirvana Witch]. "Who are you!?" Xian Ge frowned and asked with caution and vigilance. "You are definitely not the Vivian I know!" Faced with Xian Ge''s reaction, "Vivian" was not surprised, nor showed any hostility, she just sighed softly. "Old friend, when you woke up this time, you really remembered a lot of things." Her tone was very familiar, as if she was talking to an old friend whom she had known for a long time. And Xian Ge was keenly aware that the "old friend" in Vivian''s mouth did not refer to her now, but to herself before she was reincarnated into a dragon egg! "I did meet you in the past!" Xian Ge''s alertness became even stronger, and she was ready to change back to her true form at any time to fight. She asked again: "Who are you? Why did you board Captain Shane''s ship?" Hearing this question, "Vivian" turned her head and looked out the window, as if looking at an extremely distant place, and murmured softly. "They said that I am... [The Witch of Nirvana]." "She is the witch who pulls the stars, and she is the disaster destined to perish." "It is an illusion that should not exist in this time and space, and it is also a shadow of the past that does not belong to this world." "However, compared to these titles, I prefer the name ''Vivian''..." Xian Ge looked confused and confused. Who knows this? She understood every word in "Vivian"''s words, but when they were put together, it became something she couldn''t understand at all. But no matter what, the background of "Vivian" seems to be quite remarkable? Is it even more powerful than the title of the Great Bronze Dragon? Seeing Xian Ge''s expression, "Vivian" smiled: "It seems that you are still the same as before." "But that''s fine. Even if you understand it, you won''t remember it." Xian Ge was stunned: "What do you mean..." Her words stopped abruptly. Because after "Vivian" said those words, the ghost came to Xian Ge silently. Immediately afterwards, "Vivian" stretched out her hand and lightly tapped Xiange''s fair forehead. "You..." Xian Ge tried to struggle, but a strong wave of sleepiness surged up in her mind, causing her eyelids to close unconsciously. "Don''t worry, dizziness is normal." Before she fell into coma, the voice of "Vivian" rang in her ears: "Sorry, everything is part of the plan..." "Go to sleep, you''ll be fine after a little sleep..." Soon, Xiange''s petite body fell into her arms. "Vivian" put Xian Ge on the small bed, closed her eyes, and then... The witch aura in her body quickly weakened and dissipated, and finally turned into the usual salted fish ghost. Vivian opened her eyes again, looked around blankly, and let out a light sigh. "Huh? Why am I here?" "Has Xian Ge woke up before?" Vivian thought for a moment but couldn''t think of a reason. Instead, she felt sleepy and couldn''t help but mutter in her heart. "I don''t know why, but I feel so tired...as if I had a fight with someone." "Forget it, let''s go to bed first!" Vivian struggled for a while, trying her best but unable to overcome the growing sleepiness, and wanted to fall asleep. There was only Xiange''s small bed in the room. Although Vivian is a salty fish, she still has the reserve of a lady and cannot just lie on the ground casually. So, she lay down next to Xian Ge. "Give a little bit...squeeze a bit..." "Make room for me..." With these words in her mouth, Vivian quickly fell into a deep sleep. So, when Xia En and the crew returned to the [Black Swan], what they saw was this scene - Xian Ge and Vivian, one large and one small, squeezed into this small bed, occupying the entire bed, and slept very peacefully. Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. Vivian, you just want to sleep, why are you competing with Xiange for a bed? Dont you have a luxurious single room with a crystal coffin? Xia En was about to step forward to wake up Vivian. But at this time, Xian Ge opened his eyes first. "Captain Shane!" She hurriedly shouted Xia En''s name, as if waking up from a nightmare, and opened her eyes suddenly, with a little uneasiness still remaining in her eyes. "I am here." Xia En''s calm voice gradually calmed down Xian Ge''s panic. "What''s wrong? What happened?" Xian Ge suddenly woke up and said anxiously: "Captain Xia En, I have something to tell you about..." "It''s about..." When it came to the most critical point, Xian Ge suddenly got stuck. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t remember what she wanted to say. "Um?" Xia En raised his eyebrows, but still asked patiently: "Don''t worry, think about it carefully, what is it about?" Xian Ge thought about it for a long time but couldn''t remember it. Suddenly he found the ghost of salted fish next to him and was startled. Its a real shock. Xian Ge jumped up and hid behind Xia En. "Wow... Vivian, why is she here with me?" Seeing this, Xia En was even more surprised. The relationship between Xian Ge and Vivian was pretty good before, but now, Xian Ge seems to be slightly afraid of Vivian, as if it has left some kind of psychological shadow. Could it be that something happened between the two of them before? "Oh, by the way, I remembered!" Xian Ge continued: "The ancient dragon... the ancient dragon clan has not perished yet!" "The remaining ancient dragons all migrated to a secret realm called [Dragon Nest]." "Moreover, I seem to be able to sense the location of the [Secret Realm] in the dark." When he said this, Xian Ge''s tone was still a little proud, as if he wanted to shock everyone with this breaking news and enjoy their surprised looks. But at this time, not only Xia En, but also the expressions of other crew members became a little strange. Seeing Xian Ge''s smug expression, everyone couldn''t bear to expose her fantasy. At first, Xian Ge thought that Xia En and others were shocked by the news, so they remained silent. But she wasn''t stupid after all. After observing carefully for a moment, she stammered. "You...you already know about this?" Xia En thought for a while, then finally told the truth, nodded and said, "That''s right." "And not long after you fell into a deep sleep." "Woo..." Xian Ge suddenly let out a small cry: "Why is this like this?" She also wanted to take this opportunity to show off the majesty of the bronze dragon! "However, your information is not worthless." Xia En touched her little head and comforted her: "If you can sense the location of the [Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm], maybe we can use this to open the passage to that secret realm." The power of blood is also a way to [anchor]. Of course, there is actually a ready-made passage to the [Dragon Lair Secret Realm] in the Seven Seas Federation. But for Xia En, if he wants to explore the secret realm, he must master his own passage. Otherwise, if someone gets stuck in the neck, or is simply imprisoned in the [Dragon''s Nest Secret Realm], wouldn''t everything be over? Hearing Xia En''s approval, Xian Ge suddenly became energetic, puffed up her little chest, and said proudly to herself. "Humph, it seems that I am still very useful!" In fact, this little guy is quite easy to coax. Give it a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, nothing better than this. Not long after, Vivian also woke up. She yawned and greeted lazily. "Good morning, Mr. Captain~" "It''s already evening now!" Shane couldn''t help but retort. "Humph, Captain Shane, don''t you understand?" Vivian said confidently: "Ghosts have a different concept of time than ordinary people. It''s morning when I wake up!" Shane: "...Girl, you win." "Mr. Captain, there is one more thing." Xian Ge on the side looked at himself carefully and said: "My [Fire Forging Technique] seems to have undergone new changes!" (End of chapter) Chapter 319 The identity of [Ghana] strengthens the two ships! Chapter 319 [Ghana]s identity strengthens the two ships! "You mean...your [Fire Forging Technique] has been upgraded?" After briefly asking Xian Ge, Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised. Xian Ge''s original [Forging Fire Technique] can temper each component of [Black Swan]. If a little adds up, his overall quality will be greatly improved. At the moment, according to Xian Ge, its [Forging Fire Technique] can re-temper those parts that have been tempered. Even if [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] are treated as a whole. They can also be tempered directly. This surprised Xia Endu. This tempering method is simply equivalent to an alternative upgrade of the entire ship! However, Xian Ge also explained that there is a certain price to pay for using the upgraded [Forging Fire Technique]. That would require a large amount of the [Lava Mine] she swallowed last time. To be honest, when Xia En heard this request, he felt a little strange and confused. He was already surprised when Xian Ge showed a strong desire for [Lava Mine] last time. [Lava Ore] is clearly a specialty of [The Furnace Secret Realm]. In theory, it should be incomparable with ancient dragons and bronze dragons. But Xiange pays special attention to this specialty. Xia En originally thought that the rich power of fire element in the [Lava Mine] attracted Xian Ge. However, after careful questioning, it was revealed that other similar materials in Qihai did not bring any instinctive impulse to Xian Ge at all. At this time, Xian Ge even said by name that [Lava Ore] is needed to complete the strengthening of [Forging Fire Technique]. Combined with the special forging techniques and secret techniques of the dwarves in [The Furnace Secret Realm]... If you say this is a pure coincidence, Xia En doesn''t believe it 100%! But what is the connection between the two? Suddenly, a bold guess flashed through Xia En''s mind and he muttered to himself. [Ghana World][Ghana] According to the legend told by the dwarves, underground in the [Furnace Secret Realm], there is a [Fire Seed] that is so huge that it is difficult to measure. Its name is [Ghana]. And the entire [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] is named after it. The terrifying "earth roar" before was just an awakening for [Ghana]. "What if this giant beast called [Gana] is not [Fire], but an ancient dragon?" Thinking of this possibility, Xia En''s eyes suddenly opened wide. Due to the unique name of [Fire Seed], he always thought it was a native creature of [The Furnace Realm], thus ignoring this point. But now I think about it, if the dwarves can all migrate from the Seven Seas World to the [Forge Secret Realm]. Then why can''t [Fire Type] be a species that was born after ancient dragons multiplied with native creatures and mutated due to environmental influences? Perhaps, the ancient dragon arrived in [The Furnace Secret Realm] thousands of years earlier than the dwarves, and even became the origin of life for all the [Fire Seeds] in the [The Furnace Secret Realm]. Therefore, when the dwarves enter the secret realm, they think that [Fire Seed] is a creature that has existed in the [Furnace Secret Realm] since ancient times. In this way, it can also explain Xian Ge''s strong desire for [Lava Mine]. All [Lava Mines] are formed from the heart of [Fire Seed], and contain the bloodline of the ancient dragon in disguise, which is naturally of great benefit to her. And, think along this line of thinking. [Ghana] is most likely not an ordinary ancient dragon, but one of the same kind as Xiange A bronze dragon with bronze and fire flowing in its blood! "Don''t say it, it seems really possible..." Shane''s expression was a little strange. Although this is just his guess, the whole idea is extremely smooth. Maybe it really may be the truth of [The Furnace Secret Realm]! It''s a pity that the number of dwarves who believe in the "Lord of the Rhine" in the "Forge Secret Realm" is still limited. We can only use the connection between Xia En and the believers to carry out some simple transmissions, and it is not possible to build a stable two-way transmission gate. Otherwise, by sending Xian Ge to the [Furnace Secret Realm], maybe we can immediately confirm whether Xia En''s guess is right or wrong. But nevertheless. During Xia En''s several submersible voyages to the [Furnace Secret Realm], he also harvested a large amount of [Lava Ore], which should be enough for Xian Ge to temper the hull. Coincidentally, just some time ago, Xia En had already invested a lot of precious materials to strengthen the two ships with the help of [Ship Heart]. Counting the time, it is almost the day when the "fruit is ripe". Just enough for Xian Ge to undergo the final tempering, which can be regarded as "refining the juice from the fire" and completely completing this long-term strengthening. Xia En thought to himself: "When the strengthening is over, it''s time to set off towards the [Cold Sea]." In fact, the reason why he stayed in [Liu Li Island] during this period of time. On the one hand, it is to survive the beast tide disaster in [Rhine Secret Realm]. On the other hand, they are waiting patiently for the two ships to complete the final strengthening. After all, the [Leng Lie Sea] at this time must be a mixed bag, with strong men from all forces emerging in endlessly. Not to mention, the source of the disaster of the "Second Flood" is still unknown. If you want to protect yourself and your crew in such a [cold sea], you must have enough strength. Therefore, Xia En will set out for the [Cold Sea] only after being fully prepared. "I hope this enhancement can bring me some surprises..." It didn''t take long. Xia En took Xian Ge and the others out of the cabin and came to the dock of the port. Standing here, you can more intuitively see the overall changes in [Black Swan]. During this period of time, the size of the [Black Swan] has obviously grown, and the color of the hull has also changed from pitch black to a gray between black and white. This is because Xia En added a lot of [Rhinestone Essence] to the reinforced materials. This kind of material has brought back the Black Swan, which was originally in the dark and terrifying direction, and never returned. At least on the surface, the appearance of the [Black Swan] is much "gentler", without the sharp and dangerous feeling before. However, the opposite is true. The mysterious aura surrounding [Black Swan] is getting stronger and stronger. That is the effect brought about by constantly absorbing secret power. In the eyes of some people with keen inspiration, the surroundings of the Black Swan seem to be shrouded in a thick fog, and from time to time, horrific hallucinations emerge and disappear from the fog. Just looking at it will make your heart palpitate involuntarily. Moreover, the "alive" quality of [Black Swan] is becoming more and more obvious. The hull sways gently with the water waves, just like it breathes and breathes, giving people the feeling that it will wake up at any time. As the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En knows very well that the current [Black Swan] is far more powerful than before. That "gentle" appearance is just a disguise. When the [Black Swan] enters combat mode, the combat power it can exert will only make the enemy tremble! However, Xia En could also sense that the strengthening of the [Black Swan] seemed to be stuck at the last step. There is only one step left to complete the transformation, but no one knows when this step will be taken. Normally, this last step can only be overcome through hard work. But now that there is a string song, maybe we can rely on [Fire Forging Technique] to stimulate it. In fact, not only the [Black Swan], the [Diamond Star] has also been modified and strengthened in these days. However, due to the special nature of the Diamond Star, once it appears in the port, it may cause an uproar. Shane turned to look at Joey aside and said, "Joy, please." "Leave it to me." Joey raised the staff in his hand and pointed at the [Black Swan] in front of him. Immediately, an invisible curtain opened outwards with the staff as the center, covering the [Black Swan] and a nearby sea surface. This is a kind of curtain spell that can change the perception of others, allowing others to ignore the changes that occur in this area. Due to its wider range, its effect is actually not that powerful. If someone enters this area, they can probably see through the real picture under the curtain. But now, there are not many pedestrians on the port, so not many people notice the abnormality in this corner. Then, Xia En had a thought in his mind. "Come out, little star." Following Xia En''s instructions, a huge and gorgeous ship appeared silently on the sea next to the [Black Swan]. It seemed to be projected from a shadow, with a dark aura lingering around it. I dont know if it was because I stayed in the reflection for too long, but the [Diamond Star] was also contaminated with the atmosphere of the deep sea. The gloomy feeling of "landmine woman" becomes more and more obvious. Especially when compared with the energetic [Black Swan] on the side, the [Diamond Star] looks even more ghostly. But considering that it was originally a "ghost ship", it is normal to have such a temperament... right? "Xiaoxing, have you been suffocating these days?" Xia En smiled and greeted: "It doesn''t matter, you will be able to freely sail on the sea in two days." But soon, Xia En heard the voice of the [Diamond Star]. "...Huh? You''re not holding it back?" "Under the sea, is it very comfortable? Very peaceful?" "Because you don''t have to face other humans and you can hide???" Shane: "..." For the time being, he could do nothing about the gloomy and autistic character of [Diamond Star]. Who made the [Diamond Star] leave such a deep psychological shadow in that incident and develop a fear of other humans? It''s like a childhood tragedy that often takes a lifetime to heal. Xia En could only try his best to use time to subtly change Xiaoxing''s character. In fact, Xia En is actually relatively conservative when it comes to the modification of the Diamond Star. The reason is simple. The design of the [Diamond Star] itself is already very outstanding. Its manufacturing materials and internal structure are not outdated at all in today''s Nanami. Once the overall modification is made, it will destroy the original design of the [Diamond Star], resulting in unpredictable problems. Therefore, Xia En only strengthened the weak points on the [Diamond Star] ship and updated the materials in some parts of the hull. Even if some materials were excellent when the disaster struck, they will inevitably age after so many years. at the same time. Shane also replaced the ship''s artillery and other infrastructure. Just with these modifications, the entire [Diamond Star] looks brand new. If its gloomy temperament were not so strong, this would definitely be a luxurious ship that could be described as "beautiful". captain what are you up to? Xiaoxing''s timid voice sounded in Xia En''s mind. It made him unconsciously think of a little **** wearing Gothic clothes timidly asking questions to him. "Ahem..." Xia En shook his head, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and explained. "Don''t be afraid, it''s just to temper your body." "It might hurt a little, just bear with it." Woo... Hearing this, Xiaoxing became obviously more panicked. If Xia En hadn''t been chatting with her frequently these days and had initially gained her trust, [Diamond Star] might have turned around and hid in the shadow of [Black Swan]. Then, Xia En looked at Xian Ge beside him. "It''s time for you to take action." "Don''t worry, I promise to complete the mission!" Xian Ge patted her chest and walked towards the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] with confidence. The next moment. The effects of mimicry magic are lifted. Her body shape changed from a petite and exquisite girl to a bronze dragon with spread wings and flew over the two ships. It has to be said that Xian Ge''s true form has actually changed a lot during this sleep. One thing that''s immediately obvious is her body type. Xian Ge''s body length is already more than ten meters, and when its wings are fully extended, its wingspan can be close to twenty meters. When flying in the sky, the shadow cast is really not small, and it has begun to take shape of "blocking out the sky and the sun". In addition, the color of her scales has also become darker, with some dark red lines mixed in, which looks quite magical. As for the pair of small horns on Xiange''s head, they have naturally grown longer. The shape of the Flame Crown is clearer and more obvious. The whole dragon feels like it has transformed from a baby dragon to a juvenile dragon. The lines are more elegant and vigorous, and it has a strange beauty. Visible to the naked eye, the appearance has improved a lot. It gave Xia Endu an urge to ride on her and fly through the sky. Xia En muttered to himself: "No wonder so many people want to be dragon knights. It turns out there is a reason..." at the same time. A deep red light lit up in Xian Ge''s vertical pupils. The [Lava Mine] given by Xia En earlier was stored in her abdominal cavity. At this time, as the secret power was stimulated, surging and huge heat expanded from Xian Ge''s body, wrapping the [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan] like a field. Xia En suddenly realized, isn''t this a manifestation of the power of the domain? This also means that Xian Ge''s rank is very likely to reach the fifth level! Subsequently, miraculous changes began to occur on the two ships... (End of chapter) Chapter 320 Overall quality has soared! Preparation before leaving! Chapter 320: Overall quality soars! Preparation before leaving! In the field, more and more fiery secret power was escaping from Xian Ge''s body. It''s like turning this place into a huge melting pot. The [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] have become "weapons" forged and tempered in this furnace. Wisps of dark red light began to emerge from the air and gradually penetrated into the hulls of the two ships. The next moment. Xiao Hei and Xiao Xing''s surprised voices sounded in Xia En''s mind. [Master, what is this? So comfortable... This was Xiao Hei''s reaction just after he woke up from his deep sleep. [I feel a force... coming up! other side. Xiaoxing also rarely showed a moment or two of enjoyment. [Captain...hot...so warm...] The body...has become clean... Shane: "..." Don''t use such expressions that can easily cause misunderstandings! However, Xia En also knew that Xiaoxing didn''t mean anything strange, he was just telling the truth. Because at this time, with the stimulation of [Fire Forging Technique], a viscous, pitch-black substance gradually seeped out from the decks and hulls of [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan]. This black mucus has a pungent odor and looks very disgusting. It''s like old dirt that hasn''t been cleaned, or like impurities that have been forced out of certain materials. Seeing this scene, Xia En suddenly woke up. The essence of the so-called [Fire Forging Technique] is actually to force out the bad things in items with the help of the unique [Secret Power of the Furnace]. Just like a blacksmith using a sledgehammer to continuously beat the forged weapon, it has the effect of removing impurities and making the original material denser and even changing its properties. The principles of both are actually the same. And if it were applied to a human being, it would probably be similar to "cleansing the classics and cutting the marrow" in martial arts novels. Excrete all the dirt and impurities accumulated in the past from the body. Just like the human body, there are bound to be a lot of hidden wounds and dirt. No matter how much Xia En takes care of the Black Swan, there will inevitably be corners that cannot be cleaned. Although some of the damage suffered by the two ships was completely healed on the surface, some small incongruities or weaknesses would inevitably appear deeper in the hull. One or two separate "hidden injuries" are actually harmless. However, when such injuries continue to accumulate, it will inevitably affect the control of the hull. It''s as if there''s a slight glitch in the gear mesh, reducing the efficiency of the ship''s operation. At this time, under the influence of [Forging Fire Technique], these small hidden wounds are also healing quickly. Due to the talent of "Communicating Ship Souls", Xia En quickly empathized with Xiao Hei and Xiao Xing''s feelings. A numb and numb feeling came from the depths of the soul, with a slight itching feeling, like a deep massage. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but it soon got better and I felt indescribably comfortable. It''s in this process. Xia En noticed that the last obstacle to the strengthening of the two ships was also eliminated quietly. As if everything fell into place, the strengthening of the ship was completely completed. [Strengthening completed! [Black Swan (+8)! [Diamond Star (+3)! As if to verify Xia En''s feelings, a few lines of text flashed on the panel. Moreover, compared with the previous number, the number has increased one by one. With this enhancement, [Black Swan] has directly changed from (+3) to (+8), while [Diamond Star] has been directly upgraded to (+5)! Thinking about it, it was probably because the materials Xia En invested this time were too large and precious, and had exceeded the upper limit of a single enhancement. In other words, the effect of this strengthening is approximately equal to the previous five times, which is why there is such a prompt. at the same time. Under the effect of the talent [Captain''s Majesty], huge and vast power began to wash over Xia En''s body like a wave. This wash was so fierce that thunder sounded in Xia En''s body, and the waves rolled like waves on the boundless sea. If the secret power washes away on weekdays, it is like an ordinary wave. So this time, the secret power coming from somewhere is like a tsunami! Fortunately, Xia En''s body has been tempered many times and is far beyond the scope of ordinary people. Otherwise, just accepting the baptism of this secret power might cause him to explode and die. Even if Xia En resisted the erosion of the secret power, given his physique, he still had a rare feeling of being "overstuffed". It can be seen that the gift of this secret power is rich. Immediately, the bones, muscles, and nerves in Xia En''s body all entered an active state, greedily absorbing this huge secret power. And in the process, it continues to grow, grow, become strong and tough. A rich sense of power filled almost every corner of Xia En''s body. on the panel. [Comprehensive quality: 17.518] 1820 2023 This number kept beating and growing, and finally settled at [Comprehensive quality: 25! The next moment. Xia En opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. At this moment, his whole temperament suddenly changed, as if he had changed from the quiet and peaceful handsome young man to a terrifying beast wearing human skin. If a person with weaker strength stood next to him, he would be frightened and his mind would go blank. This was not Xia En''s intention, but just because his power suddenly surged and he failed to control his aura. "Huh...this feeling..." Xia En let out a long breath, his face full of excitement. This feeling of being filled with power within the body is truly wonderful. Xia En even felt that he might be able to carry the entire Black Swan for battle. Of course, the idea was just an idea, and he had no intention of putting it into practice. The increase in the numerical value on the panel also surprised Xia En. An increase of 7.5% is even greater than the benefits brought by breaking through the fifth level! Obviously, this is the power of "krypton gold"! The materials Xia En purchased during this period almost emptied his fortune. -Except for the materials used to construct the ritual, the remaining materials are all used to strengthen the ship. It would be abnormal to spend such a large amount of money and not make some splash! "It''s not worth the money I spent..." Xia En sighed softly, feeling that it was very worth the money. If the money is gone, you can spend it again, but if your life is gone, you have nothing. Using money and merits in exchange for ready-made strength to face the coming "second world-destroying flood" is definitely a sure-fire deal. Soon, Joey and others also noticed the change in Xia En''s aura. "Mr. Captain, you have become stronger again!" Joey''s eyes were filled with admiration. However, she and Xia En have been together for so long, and they have already discovered... It seems that every time the [Black Swan] is modified and strengthened, Captain Shane''s strength will be significantly improved? "Probably...this is the bond between Mr. Captain and the [Black Swan], right?" at the same time. The [Forging Fire Technique] that Xian Ge applied to the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] is almost coming to an end. A lot of dark, viscous liquid oozed from both ships, and emitted a strong odor. [Master, it stinks! Give me a quick shower! Xiao Hei, who loves cleanliness, couldn''t help complaining to Xia En in his mind. [I feel like Im getting dirty...] Even Xiaoxing, who has a gloomy personality, showed a similar attitude and whispered softly. [My body is sticky...so uncomfortable...] Although this kind of "cleansing and cutting off the marrow" is very satisfying, the aftermath is very troublesome. Fortunately, Shane is surrounded by Miss Joy, who has mastered many magic spells. With just a look from Shane, Joey understood and tapped the staff in his hand towards the two ships. The storm is coming! A gentle sea breeze blew from the sky mixed with raindrops. Subsequently, the raindrops became more and more dense, constantly washing away the bodies of the [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star], and washing those filthy objects into the sea. And due to Joey''s own characteristics, this spell even has a certain sanctity. - Just like the magic spell cast by Storm Priest. It naturally has [purifying] and [washing] properties. So, under the baptism of this wind and rain, the bodies of the two ships became clean again. After the dirt was washed away, the images of the [Diamond Star] and [Black Swan] could be described as completely new. Not only has the size of the entire ship slightly increased, but the internal structure has also undergone considerable changes. The deck is clean and tidy, even so smooth that it seems to reflect a human face. The windows are bright and clear, and all the original dirt has disappeared. The wooden planks on the ship''s walls also gave off a fresh, vital smell. It''s like... these two ships were just built not long ago! "Wow, [Black Swan] has become so clean and beautiful!" Seeing this, Joey couldn''t help but exclaimed: "It''s just like brand new." Fei Ya stared at the [Diamond Star] on the side, unable to look away for a while. In fact, [Diamond Star] has always been very good-looking. Just because it has been wandering for such a long time after becoming a ghost ship, the hull inevitably shows signs of damage and aging. At this time, after brushing away the dust and scars of the past, this former "Noah''s Ark" showed its due majesty. The hull, which has been washed away from the lead dust, is clearly painted with elegant and elegant lines. The white sails swayed gently in the sea breeze. Under the sunlight, the deck and windows shine, and those exquisite and classically beautiful designs are barely visible to everyone. Strong as a diamond. And as bright as the stars. This is the best wish that the name [Diamond Star] entrusts! This...is me? From the reflection on the sea, Xiaoxing seemed to see clearly what she looked like at this time, and couldn''t help but be surprised. She was used to the gloomy, gray, ghost ship-like version of herself, but she was a little unaccustomed to seeing this glamorous appearance all of a sudden. It''s like Cinderella turned into a princess overnight. "Yes, this is you." Xia En comforted [Diamond Star] in his heart: "From now on, you will only be more dazzling and beautiful than this!" [Really...really? Xia En vowed: "I swear in the name of Xia En!" Inspired by him, Xiaoxing had some hope for that kind of future. After coaxing this awkward ship spirit, Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. "But having said that, this effect...is a bit too exaggerated?" To be honest, not only the other crew members, but also him were shocked by this. At this time, the newness of the two ships made him feel a little unfamiliar, as if they had been restored to factory settings. But in fact, no matter which ship they are, they are significantly enhanced compared to when they were first built. Especially [Black Swan]. You know, the [Black Swan] was just a small and medium-sized three-masted sailboat at the beginning, but now, it has grown into a large ship that can be compared with the [Diamond Star]. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little relieved. It''s as if his child has finally grown up and can take charge of his own business. Of course, Xia En did not forget the biggest contributor to this enhancement. He turned around and said, "Xian Ge, thank you for your hard work this time." At present, Xian Ge has descended from a high place and returned to the crowd. As soon as it landed on the ground, the little dragon slumped down, its breath was sluggish, and it kept breathing heavily. It seemed that it was unwilling to even move. It was obvious that the [Fire Forging Technique] used on the two ships just now was a huge burden on Xiange and made her very tired. Xian Ge feebly cast her mimicry magic and turned back into a little girl. In this state, her face was extremely pale and she was covered in cold sweat, which made Xia En feel a little distressed. Moreover, even after that, Xian Ge puffed up her chest and said with a hint of pride. "Humph, I just said it''s okay to leave it to me, right?" "My majestic bronze dragon, Xian Ge Maya, always does what I say!" This time, Xia En did not suppress her arrogance, but gently touched her little head and praised her sincerely. "Yes, yes, Xian Ge is the best." "hey-hey" After receiving the compliment, Xian Ge grinned, but his body fell to the side unconsciously. Xia En had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly supported her. "Xiange!?" Seeing this, Joey''s expression suddenly changed and he quickly asked: "What''s wrong with her?" Xia En observed carefully for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don''t worry, she''s just too tired." The little girl fell into his arms and fell asleep with a steady breath, but she was still mumbling words such as "The bronze dragon is the best in the world" and "I am so powerful". Xia En couldn''t laugh or cry for a while. He has to wait until he praises her before he is willing to fall asleep. He even says this in his dream. This obsession is too deep, right? Afterwards, Xia En and others spent some time processing the traces left near the port. Let the [Diamond Star] hide in the shadow of the [Black Swan] again. Immediately afterwards, Xia En asked the crew to move around on their own and enjoy the last period of time on [Liu Li Island]. He himself went to the [Federal Library] and prepared to say goodbye to the administrator Jane Vivian. Most of his goals on [Liu Li Island] have been achieved, and it''s time to set off on the road! (End of chapter) Chapter 321 Janes request, set off for [Leng Lie Sea]! Chapter 321 Janes request, set off for the [Cold Sea]! Federal Grand Library Due to the [Federal Calling Order], most people on [Liu Li Island] are busy dealing with the possible world-destroying flood. The large library, which was already deserted on weekdays, was even more deserted. It was also under this circumstance that Shane met the librarian Jane Vivian again. This elegant and wise half-elf old man was organizing the books on the bookshelf as usual. Seeing Xia En arrive, Jane was not surprised and said. "Are you leaving [Liu Li Island]?" This old woman had the wisdom accumulated over time, and she could see the purpose of Xia En''s visit at a glance. "Yes, tomorrow." Xia En nodded and said: "We''ve almost done everything we have to do, and it''s time to leave." "Moreover, tomorrow happens to be the day when the large-scale teleportation ritual begins." "It''s better to choose a day than to hit it. Otherwise, if you miss it, you will have to wait another week." Because of Jane''s previous free help and her actions of sticking to the Great Library for hundreds of years out of a promise. Xia En always respected Jane, so he would answer her questions in detail. Hearing this, Jian thought for a moment and said as if he had made a major decision. "In that case, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope Captain Shane can agree." Xia En was a little surprised: "What is the request?" "As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it." Just the help brought by Jian interpreting those three sentences for Xia En was enough for him to make such a promise. Those words directly gave Xia En a deeper understanding of history and the past. More importantly, Xia En also learned the truth that the ancient dragon clan has not yet perished! This means that Laila and the elves still have a chance to survive. Although it is only a possibility, whether there is this hope or not gives people a completely different feeling. However, Xia En was also a little curious, what could be the request that Jane could make so solemnly? Wouldn''t it be a bit embarrassing if I boasted about Haikou but couldn''t finish it in the end? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s thoughts, Jane smiled slightly. "Don''t worry, it''s not a very difficult request." "Rather, the difficulty lies in making up my mind." Hearing this, Xia En became even more confused: "What on earth is going on?" Jane still just said lightly: "You''ll find out tomorrow." Shane''s mouth twitched. Why is it so mysterious? But Jane is the elder after all, and Xia En can''t directly question her, so he can only say goodbye and leave. After Xia En left, Jane looked up at the bookshelves around her and walked slowly through them. She stretched out her fingers and stroked them on the covers of books that were almost as old as herself. The past events gradually came to mind. Including the appearance of the [Federal Grand Library] when it was first established, as well as the people who have met in the library and the books that have been read. This half-elf woman couldn''t help but have a look of reminiscence and nostalgia on her face, and she whispered to herself. "It turns out that it''s been so long..." Woohoo At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the closed library, making a strange whining sound. Weeping and complaining, with a bit of sadness. All things have animism, and this [Federal Library], which carries countless ancient books and history, has naturally given birth to its own spirituality over the long years. At this time, most likely because they were aware of a certain decision that Jane was about to make, the entire library also expressed feelings of reluctance and resentment. "Can''t you bear to leave me?" Jane looked up at the dome of the big library and smiled: "Actually, I can''t bear to leave you, old friend." "But, how can there be a banquet in the world that never ends?" "And don''t worry, I will come back one day." "While I''m away, please take good care of the child I chose." The gentle sound of wind sounded from all around again, as if granting Jane''s request. And Jane slowly walked to the door of the secret room. Press the button and push the door open. Compared with the last time I came here, the furnishings in the entire secret room have become much cleaner and tidier. Many equipments have been put away, as if they have been carefully sorted and cleaned. "Ms. Administrator, you, you are back!" At this time, a voice as thin as a mosquito rang from the side. This is a girl who wears glasses and dresses in an honest and rustic manner. At first glance, she seems to be the type who is easily shy and afraid of strangers. "Mia, do you still call me Ms. Administrator?" Jane smiled softly and said softly: "From tomorrow on, you will be the administrator of this library." The girl named Mia was still in disbelief and asked: "Management...Ms. Jane, do you really want to leave?" Jane nodded: "The previous commitment has bound me for too long." "Now that the agreement has been reached and the shackles of the past have been lifted, it''s time for me to visit other places in the Seven Seas." Mia was not used to facing such a soft-spoken administrator lady. On weekdays, even when facing her, Jane had a cold and pure attitude, with a hint of alienation. But when she thought that these might be the last few words Jane left before leaving, Mia felt a little bitter inexplicably. "But, Ms. Jane, why did you choose me as the next heir?" Mia asked in a low voice with a bit of inferiority complex in her tone of confusion. "I''m obviously very ordinary... I''m not good-looking, I''m weak, and I don''t have any connections. There should be many other more suitable candidates, right?" The position of administrator of the [Federal Great Library] has not changed in hundreds of years. But if there is a change, it will undoubtedly attract many applicants. Just the name [Federal Great Library] can make countless scholars flock to it. This is both an asset and an honor. Because of this, Mia is confused by Jane''s choice. "Actually the reason is very simple." Perhaps because she was about to leave, Jane showed great patience and explained softly: "Just because..." "You look a lot like me when I was younger, that''s all." "Young Admin Lady...how is that possible?" Mia''s first reaction was disbelief. Because in her impression, Jane always looked cool, calm and intellectual, as if she could solve any difficulties with ease. Even when facing powerful figures in the federation, Jane still refused to flatter or give in. On the contrary, the other party had to lower their stance. To be honest, Jane has always been Mia''s idol. That''s why she didn''t believe it. "Why don''t you believe it?" Jane said with a smile: "I used to be very timid. I would be shy when others stared at me. All I could think about was studying." "I''ve been laughed at a lot for this." "It''s just that things slowly change as we get older." "I believe that as long as I give you a chance, you can grow into a person who can stand on your own, maybe even better than me." After hearing these words, Mia''s eyes widened slightly: "Ms. Administrator..." She wiped away her tears and said seriously: "I will do my best! I will try my best to live up to your expectations!" "I will also wait until the day you come back." "good." Jane nodded: "Then...this is my agreement with you." "By the way, the reason why I am usually very cold towards you and other people is actually because I have lived too long and experienced too many joys and sorrows." "So I don''t want to establish new bonds and connections. It can be said that I am already a little afraid of separation, right?" "Usually, I''m really sorry." This can be said to be a kind of sadness for the immortal species. They had just established a relationship with a short-lived species, but in the blink of an eye, the other person had already left the world. Because he is afraid of separation, he uses a cold and hard appearance to isolate himself from others. But at this time, Jane also wanted to try to make some changes. other side. Shane arrived at the gate of the Moriarty family''s manor. On weekdays, it was Daisy and her brother who took the initiative to discuss business matters with him. It was also the first time for Shane to visit Moriarty''s manor like this. It has to be said that although the Moriarty family has declined a bit due to the disappearance of the ancestor, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The vastness of this manor can be said to be unprecedented in Xia En''s life. Inside the black hollow iron gate is a tall and neat white building and a wide and beautiful courtyard. The reliefs and murals on the walls are full of history, and there seems to be a large field in the distance. Being able to own such a manor on [Liu Li Island] where every inch of land is extremely valuable shows how wealthy the Moriarty family is. It was only after seeing this manor that Xia En had the real feeling that "it turns out that Daisy and Alessio are truly children of a big family." After all, in these days of getting along. The two people''s attitude toward Xia En has completely changed from being curious and somewhat disdainful, to communicating on an equal footing, to being extremely admiring and vaguely worshiping. Therefore, he almost forgot that the two siblings were children of a large family. Xia En was about to explain his purpose to the waiter guarding the door, when he heard the waiter take the initiative to speak. "Is this Mr. Shane? Please come in." "Miss Daisy has already given instructions that you will be treated as a distinguished guest of the Moriarty family and you can enter and leave the manor at will." "Oh well." Shane still appreciates Daisy''s thoughtfulness in details. It''s just that her behavior in some aspects was a little too frivolous, which made Xia En a little uncomfortable. "Miss Daisy is in the manor. I''m going to report to her. Sir, please wait in the waiting room for a while." Not long after, the waiter brought Xia En through the door and led him to a waiting room. What surprised Xia En. Along the way, the maids in the manor seemed to recognize his identity and whispered in low voices. "Is that Captain Shane of [Black Swan]?" "It really looks as good as the rumors say!" "It is said that even the administrator of the [Federal Library] treats him differently!" In fact, without Xia En even realizing it, he already had quite a reputation on [Liu Li Island]. On the one hand, the story of fighting out of the vampire encirclement and piercing three warships gradually unfolded. Coupled with the special treatment given by the librarian Jane, Shane has been cast into a mysterious veil. On the other hand, even if there are Daisy siblings in front of the stage acting as "smoke bombs." But with so many novel materials flowing into the market, and the two men''s wanton acquisition of shipbuilding materials, it is inevitable that some people will pay attention. Especially in Moriarty Manor, the servants also have their own guesses about this matter. Among them, Xia En, who has been in close contact with Miss Daisy recently, may be related to this series of events. It''s no wonder they are curious about Xia En. Not long after. Daisy rushed to Xia En in a hurry. With her signature charming smile on her face, she said: "Captain Shane, why are you free to visit our manor today?" Xia En said directly: "Actually... I will leave [Liu Li Island] soon and go to [Leng Lie Sea]." "ah?" Daisy was stunned for a moment and said: "It''s so fast..." Her surprised and sad expression suddenly changed, and she chuckled: "...Haha, do you think I would say that?" "You want to catch up with the teleportation circle tomorrow, right?" "To be honest, my [Qingfeng] and I are also going to the [Cold Sea]!" "Um?" After hearing the news, Xia En looked surprised. "Is it just you, or is your brother going too?" Daisy said frankly: "Let''s go together." "hiss" Shane was shocked by the Moriarty family''s decision. As far as he knew, there were only two direct young people of Moriarty''s generation, Daisy and her brother. It''s understandable to send one person, but if two people go, wouldn''t the situation be very serious if something unexpected happens? "The Moriarty family has never been afraid of sacrifice." Daisy said in a serious tone: "This is the ancestral motto of our family." "Don''t look at me like this, I still have the blood of Moriarty." "Besides, my parents are still young. Even if we have an accident, they can have a few more children." "As for my cousins, their desire for power is not that strong." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little emotional. After the [Federal Chief] disappeared, the Moriarty family still did not decline completely, but maintained a certain vitality. Sure enough, it was not without reason. Daisy continued: "What''s more, Captain Shane is here too!" "If you are here, you will definitely bring us back safely, right?" Shane could only say: "I will try my best." His original intention was to say goodbye to Daisy and his brother and to handle the last few trading transactions. But now that we are leaving together, there is no need to say anything more. The next morning. The port of [Liuli Island]. Shane waited for Jane''s visit on the Black Swan. The old woman was carrying a suitcase, wearing a black gauze skirt and a top hat, and said gently. "My request is... I want to stay on your ship for a while, and at the same time go to the [Cold Sea] to see the scenery of the Far North." "Captain Shane, are you willing to temporarily accept me as a crew member?" (End of chapter) Chapter 323 Come to [Cold Sea] again, ambush and attack! Chapter 323: Return to [Cold Sea], ambush and attack! With the arrival of the [Black Swan] and two frigates. One after another, captains recognized the identities of these three ships. "Is that the [Black Swan] that has been making a lot of noise recently? It doesn''t look like that." The person who said this was a rich man wearing a purple and black captain''s uniform. The ship under his feet is also purple and black, and in terms of size, it is not inferior to the [Black Swan]. And the crew on his ship is almost fully equipped! All of them are equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and their aura is quite impressive. You can tell at a glance that they are the elite among the elite. This man''s name is Orlando, and he is the captain of this third-class battleship. But at the same time, he also has a more prominent identity. He is the third heir to the Hans family on Liuli Island! Just mentioning the Hans family may make people feel strange. But when it comes to [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce], even a six-year-old child is familiar with it. Nowadays, the influence of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] has already radiated to the entire federation, and even almost every island under the jurisdiction of the federation will have a branch of [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the economic lifeline of the Federation. The patriarch of the Hans family is the current president of the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce]! Of course, holding the position of president does not mean that [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] is completely a family property of the Hans family. [Tianqi Chamber of Commerce] implements a board of directors system, and members of the board of directors have the power to check and balance and remove the president. Even so, the power of the Hans family is evident. Compared to the long-established Moriarty family, the Hans family actually only emerged in recent decades. But unlike the former''s declining situation, the Hans family can be said to be thriving every year. Now, it has completely surpassed the Moriarty family and become the leading wealthy family in the [Seven Seas Federation]. Some good people even call the Hans family the "sunset never sets" family to illustrate their prominence and power. Because of this. Only Orlando can pull out such a luxurious [Dreadnaught Storm]. This ship is a ship that the Hans family spent a lot of money to build. Although it is only a third-class battleship, its extremely high mobility, defense, and firepower give it a certain advantage against second-class or even first-class battleships. If you can''t fight, you can still escape! It is said that the construction of this ship also referred to the legendary "Noah''s Ark", which has now become the ghost ship "Diamond Star". Standing on this ship, Orlando is qualified to point out the [Black Swan]. "Captain Orlando is right." The captain of a nearby ship echoed: "Then the captain of the [Black Swan] is just a country bumpkin from a small place. How can he compare with you?" "I really don''t know what Daisy and my brother saw in him, and they were willing to degenerate themselves to protect him." "hehe" Hearing this poor flattery, Orlando chuckled, but a coldness flashed in his eyes. These words really spoke to his heart. A large part of the reason why Orlando dislikes the Black Swan so much is because of Daisy''s favor for Shane. Originally, there was a trend of marriage between the Moriarty family and the Hans family. It just so happens that Orlando is still pursuing Daisy. As long as you spend a while, you''ll probably be able to get it! Who would have thought that after the [Black Swan] arrived at [Liu Li Island], this matter would come to an end inexplicably. It is obviously unrealistic to say that Orlando has no resentment in his heart. However, in this teleportation ritual, he could not directly attack the [Black Swan], so he could only use words to vent his dissatisfaction. other side. Shane also noticed the strange looks from the ship. "Why does this ship... look familiar?" "I feel that the outline is somewhat similar to Xiaoxing..." However, there were actually quite a few similar-looking ships in the Seven Seas, so he didn''t pay too much attention to them. Instead, he silently looked at the vampire ships in the distance. On those ships, there were even more malicious looks, even with faint murderous intent. Maybe...what are those vampire guys planning? However, if they still thought that Xia En and [Black Swan] were as powerful as they were before landing on [Liu Li Island], then they would definitely get a huge surprise! After calming down his thoughts, Xia En turned his head and looked at the sea that was actively stirring. I saw little bits of blue light suddenly lighting up on the calm sea. These light points converged into lines at an extremely fast speed, and then the lines connected with each other to form a magic circle that encompassed the entire sea area. In order to cope with the possible "second annihilation crisis", federal officials have spent a lot of money. I don''t know how many precious materials were put into this sea area to create this semi-permanent large-scale teleportation circle. Not only that. On the outer [Hunting Boat], several powerful and high-status scholars and mages are concentrating on controlling the operation of this magic circle. "Huh? Weird..." An old mage with a long white beard frowned and said doubtfully. "Why is it so difficult to run the teleportation ritual today?" "It''s like... overloaded?" Compared with usual times, both the activation of the secret power and the formation and connection of the blue light points have slowed down a lot. It is as if a person is carrying a load far exceeding his own weight and moving forward with a heavy load. The white-bearded mage''s eyes scanned the sea. Generally speaking, this phenomenon only occurs when transmitting those very large ships. But right now, among the ships embarking on the journey, there is clearly no one of that magnitude? Strangely enough, since the teleportation formation has been started, there is no reason to stop it midway. Otherwise, not only the teleportation array may be damaged, but the ships within it may also fall into space turbulence and be teleported to an unknown location. "Increase the share of investment in consumables and mobilize more resources as soon as possible!" "If the whole army collapses, it''s no joke!" As the person in charge of the magic circle, Master Whitebeard immediately issued orders vigorously and resolutely. "Just use the newly purchased... material called [Rhinestone Essence]." "I have tested it, and its properties perfectly meet the needs of the array, and its reliability is guaranteed." [Rhinestone] and [Rhinestone Essence] have been widely recognized by many industries in [Liu Li Island] as soon as they entered the market. Its excellence lies in its extremely high universality and extremely pure nature, with no limitations. They can be used in almost any field where secret power is used. It is a matter of course that federal officials use it as a consumable for the teleportation circle. Soon, countless dots and lines were connected. If someone looks down from a high place, they can see that the blue lines in the entire sea area form a swirling pattern. Immediately afterwards, the power of teleportation began to spread. "Huh? This power..." On board the Black Swan, Xia En raised his eyebrows and felt a little familiar. Back then, in the "Sea of ??Chaos", he relied on the vortex generated by "Mr. Heller" of the "Netherworld Sect" to escape the pursuit of the "Thousand Changers" and came to the "Cold Sea". There seems to be some similarity between the two. Perhaps, the Federation built this huge ritual by referring to the teleportation spell of the [Netherworld Sect]. at the same time. Xiaoxing''s voice suddenly sounded in Xia En''s heart. Mr. Captain... [I feel... my body is itchy, so strange...] Xia En frowned and looked at the reflection of the [Black Swan] on the sea. With the activation of the teleportation array, the originally calm sea surface around him also became rippled, and the reflection of the [Black Swan] was also somewhat fragmented. Thinking about it, it is precisely because of this reason that the special space where the [Diamond Star] is located has been affected. This kind of change was something Xia En didn''t expect. He looked around, hesitating whether to project the [Diamond Star] into reality. It would be embarrassing if the [Black Swan] teleported away and the [Diamond Star] still stayed in this sea area. As if aware of Xia En''s worry, Xiaoxing said again. No need to do that... I...have a way... "Oh well." Out of trust in Xiaoxing, Xia En had no choice but to do nothing for the time being. at the same time. The captains and crew of other ships in this area also noticed the abnormal situation. "Huh? Why is the transmission speed so slow this time?" "Yeah, it usually only takes a blink of an eye, right?" Many crew members present, although this was their first official teleportation, they had at least seen the previous batches of teleportations. It is inevitable to feel strange about the current situation. And the other side. The mystics responsible for controlling the teleportation formation were already sweating profusely. "What the hell!" The leader, the white-bearded mage, turned pale: "Isn''t this transmission too expensive?" All kinds of materials in the energy storage pool are rapidly being converted into secret power, and even the backup hidden energy that was urgently transported before is almost exhausted. "Arch Mage, I can''t stand it anymore!" An array master who was activating the formation turned pale. This was a sign that his spiritual power and secret power had been drained out. "You have to hold on even if you can''t hold it back!" Master Baihu gave a strong order: "The ritual is about to reach the final step!" Of course, this archmage didn''t just give orders, he himself was at the forefront to maintain the stability of the entire teleportation formation. Finally, after a period of difficult persistence, a bright blue light burst out on the sea. At this moment, a sudden change occurred! "Archmage, look!" A scholar pointed to the sea not far away in surprise, and the white-bearded archmage looked in the direction of his fingertips. At this time, the light on the sea dimmed for some reason. The sky is low and the waves are rolling. And on the ocean-like azure magic circle, the shadow of a huge monster has quietly emerged. That is a huge ship that far exceeds all the ships in this sea area! The towering sides of the ship are like mountains that can be seen as far as the eye can see, and the huge sails are automatic and roaring fiercely in the absence of wind. There was no trace of damage on the deck and hull, and it looked like a masterpiece on display. The whole shape of the ship is filled with a smooth beauty that makes people unable to take their eyes away. But, suddenly! The ship''s sides, deck, hull, ropes, cannons, sails... Everything on the entire ship was lit with faint blue flames. The fire poured out like water and spread out, and the firelight even reflected the keel and cabin inside the ship. Dangerous, strange, and powerful. But it has a thrilling beauty that makes people deeply fascinated. It broke into people''s field of vision rudely and unreasonably, and attracted the attention of everyone present. "That''s..." The Whitebearded Archmage murmured in disbelief: "[Diamond Star]?" "In my lifetime, I actually saw this ship again?" "No wonder the teleportation ritual is so difficult to operate. This ship is not so lucky..." When he was young, this archmage once went to the [Misty Sea] and survived because of the unintentional kindness of the [Diamond Star]. But he didn''t expect to see this mysterious ghost ship again under today''s circumstances. "Why did the [Diamond Star] appear here?" "And it looks very different from before? What happened to it?" In an instant, a strong curiosity arose in the Archmage''s heart, and he even wanted to forcefully keep the [Diamond Star] behind to find out. But in the end, he restrained himself and just looked at this "lost ship" with wonder. And even the highly respected Archmage was so surprised, let alone the other people present. They will probably remember this moment forever. Remember the day when the reborn Diamond Star made its first appearance on the Seven Seas. "Where did that ship come from?" Orlando was more surprised than ordinary people, and a little frightened and angry. In front of the [Diamond Star] at this time, his [Dauntless Storm] seemed to have become a poor imitation, a clown used as a foil. He even felt a little fear and uneasiness coming from deep within the hull. That was the emotion the [Dauntless Storm] had towards the [Diamond Star]. Not only that, Orlando also noticed that the shadow of this big ship happened to appear near the Black Swan. Is there any connection between the two? However, before everyone could think about it, the blue sea of ??light submerged and enveloped them all. When people opened their eyes again, what they breathed was the cold and chilling air. There are broken ice and icebergs floating on the sea not far away. The sky was iron gray, and a sea breeze blew by, bringing a cold breath. at the same time. The previous shadow of the [Diamond Star] also quietly disappeared. Because it all happened so quickly, many people thought that the ghost ship was their own hallucination. Shane was in a weird mood. He didn''t expect that the "method" Xiaoxing mentioned would be so high-profile. But just as the aftermath of the teleportation circle gradually dissipated, another cry of killing suddenly rang out from the nearby sea. Several ships sailed out from behind the iceberg and headed straight for the ships. someone on the leading ship shouted. "The blood clan is doing business, and the rest are waiting to disperse!" (End of chapter) Chapter 324 [Blood Killing Grip] [Dark Red Baron] Chapter 324 [Blood Killing Grip] [Dark Red Baron] Facing the sudden appearance of the vampire ships, the captains and crew members of many ships couldn''t help but panic. There is no other reason. The Blood Clan has always been notorious and infamous in the Federation of the Seven Seas. If a ship robbed by pirates contains a prominent businessman or family member, it may be possible to survive after paying a sufficient ransom. But if they encounter a Vampire ship, not only will their survival rate be appallingly low, but they will also become blood food for the Vampires. What''s more, they will be kept in captivity by the vampires and used as living livestock! Just imagining such a horrific and miserable experience is enough to make ordinary crew members feel numb. Not only that, the vampires'' moody temperament is also famous in the Federation. Because when sucking the blood of others, various negative emotions will naturally accumulate in the blood of the vampires, which makes their characters generally prone to extremes and madness. Many times, some ships encountered **** hunting and revenge without knowing where they had offended them. Maybe sometimes, the vampires don''t take action for a specific purpose at all. But they simply want to hunt and obtain fresh blood food. Most ships would choose to stay away from such a dangerous and extremely unstable race. Fortunately, there is official federal control around [Liu Li Island], so no matter how bold the vampires are, they don''t dare to do anything blatantly. But now, he was teleported to the [Cold Sea] near the far north. Without the checks and balances of the federation, God knows what crazy things these vampires will do! -The image of the Vampires among ordinary people in the Federation is so bad. If it weren''t for the existence of vampires among the top leaders of the federation, and from time to time some people would fall into the arms of vampires in order to extend their lives, maybe someone would have wanted to remove them from the federation. Just when everyone was feeling panic. The vampire sailor who shouted earlier said again: "Our target is only the [Black Swan], other ships should stay away quickly!" After hearing this, the captains relaxed slightly and glanced at Xia En on the deck of the [Black Swan] with sympathetic eyes. Being entangled by this group of lunatics, this captain has been unlucky for eight lifetimes! Everyone knows a little bit about the entanglement between the Blood Tribe and Xia En. Combined with the behavior of this group of vampires, it is not difficult to guess that they have been lying in wait here for a long time, waiting for the moment when the transmission ends and the [Black Swan] falls into the trap! Some people couldn''t help but muttered: "Obviously the more important thing now is to solve the predicted disaster, but we still have to fight among ourselves at this time..." "Sure enough, only a vampire madman can do such a thing." However, slander is slander, and sympathy is sympathy. None of these captains planned to intercept the vampire ships. Instead, they silently drove their ships into the distance, hoping to stay away from the upcoming naval battle. Since they have no relatives or connections, they naturally have no reason to stand up for the [Black Swan]. And if he is hated by the vampires, he will be in big trouble! Not to mention the meritorious service achieved in this operation, I am afraid that he will die before leaving the battle soon. Among the ships, the only ones that remained unwavering were the "Qingfeng" and "Hanyu". "Captain Shane! What now?" On the deck, Daisy frowned slightly and shouted to Xia En across the sea. The current situation is actually extremely dangerous. There are no less than seven vampire warships that Daisy has discovered now! In addition to the ships that were teleported with them earlier, the number of ships on the Vampire side has exceeded ten! Although compared to the previous **** hunts, the tonnage and magnitude of these ships were generally smaller. But their numbers make up for it. Quality is not enough, quantity is required! Moreover, they also anticipated the possibility of [Black Swan] escaping, so they surrounded it from all directions. In front of such a dragnet, even escape seems to be a luxury. This shows the determination of the vampires in this action! Not only do they want to defeat the [Black Swan], but they also want to keep Xia En and Feiya alive on the ship! "What a generous gesture." Xia En sneered, but was not panicked. His perception had scanned all the ships nearby, and there was no aura on them that would make him fearful. In other words, there is no legendary powerhouse present! In this case, there is nothing to be afraid of! After this trip to [Liu Li Island], Xia En had the confidence to say such a thing. And soon, he saw clearly the appearance of the vampire ship at the head, and he couldn''t help but raise his brows. "This is...[Dark Red Baron]?" If Xia En remembered correctly, this was one of the five vampire warships from last time. Obviously, whether it was the last hunt or this ambush, the captain of the [Dark Red Baron] was the key figure in the operation. Maybe he was the mastermind behind the two attacks! It seemed to be to support Xia En''s conjecture. At this moment, an extremely strong killing intent immediately erupted from the [Dark Red Baron]. This murderous intention was so strong that it almost condensed into substance, like a dark red mist, covering the sky above the "Dark Red Baron". There is also a special secret power mixed in it. Rather than pure murderous intent, it is more like the manifestation of a certain realm and a way of using secret power. "Is this... the realm of murderous intent?" At this time, Alessio''s face on the "Han Yu" could not help but change slightly, showing strong alertness and solemnity. "That''s the signature ability of the sixth-level powerhouse [Blood Killing Grip] - Richard!" "It is said that those who are on the secret path in the realm of murderous intent will be continuously contaminated by that murderous intent, and eventually lose their minds and become monsters who only know how to kill." "I didn''t expect that he would actually take action himself." Hearing what Alessio said, Daisy on the side also had an impression. "I remember he also has a younger sister, whose nickname seems to be [Burning Gold Blood]..." "It''s just that, for some reason, it seems to have disappeared?" Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. Unlike other vampires who want to take action against Fei Ya, this [Blood Killing Grip] is obviously coming for him! After all, it was him who killed [Burning Gold Blood] Twilight on [Island of Sand]. It is only natural that Richard wants to take revenge on himself. But for this matter, Xia En didn''t feel the slightest apology. Since Twilight wanted to kill him, she also wanted to give him her first embrace and transform him into a vampire. Then it is also natural for him to kill her! "Do you want to seek revenge from me? Then come and try!" Xia En looked at the approaching [Dark Red Baron], and his momentum continued to build up. Unlike the last time he was forced to break out of the encirclement, this time he was going to fight a real tough battle! However, when the [Dark Red Baron] was still some distance away. The [Fearless Storm], which was not far from the three ships, was the first to sail towards them. This made Shane feel a little strange. He has nothing to do with this ship, so what does the other party want to do now? You can''t help yourself against the vampire attack, right? Of course Orlando would not be so kind. On the deck, Orlando, who was slightly fat, first cast a gloating and mocking look at Shane. Then, he turned to look at Daisy on the [Qingfeng] and said. "Daisy, take your brother and me and go!" "With [Blood Killing Grip] personally taking action, this [Black Swan] and this pretty boy are all doomed." "It''s not too late to come with me now." Orlando''s attitude was full of confidence and he said calmly: "For my sake, Richard will not do anything to you." Upon hearing this, Daisy just said coldly: "I appreciate your kindness." "But...I refuse!" "Alessio and I have agreed to be the frigates of the [Black Swan], so we must keep our promise." "Orlando and you guys, it''s better to stay away from this sea area as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer a lot if you get entangled by those vampires." Hearing this, Orlando, who was originally confident, changed his expression. "Daisy...are you crazy?" He didn''t expect that in the face of such a life and death crisis, Daisy would insist on going her own way and stay with Xia En. This was completely different from what he had expected. Orlando thought that Daisy would decisively leave with him. In this way, not only did he gain a reliable ally, but he could also watch the pretty boy who might become his love rival die at the hands of the vampires. Its a real pleasure and kills two birds with one stone! But who thought that Daisy would actually make such a decision? Doesn''t this mean that she is willing to live and die with that pretty boy? At the thought of this, the jealousy in Orlando''s heart burned like a flame. When he looked at Xia En, his eyes looked like they were about to spit out fire. Orlando couldn''t help but ask: "Daisy, what kind of ecstasy soup did this pretty boy fill you with?" "That''s why you care so much about him?" Daisy couldn''t help frowning: "I don''t understand what you are talking about." "One mouthful and one pretty boy, is this the etiquette that the Hans family should have?" "And, can you please stop calling me by my first name? We shouldn''t be very familiar with each other, right?" In fact, Daisy had no idea about the possible marriage with Orlando. It was more of Orlando''s wishful thinking. When he heard these words, Orlando''s face turned the color of pig liver, and he laughed in anger. "Okay...okay!" "You will regret your decision." After that, Orlando waved his hand and signaled the crew to turn around and leave. For a moment just now, he wanted to take action directly against Xia En and others. But when he considered that the crew on his ship might leak the news after returning to [Liu Li Island], this would lead to revenge from the Moriarty family. Orlando still suppressed the rage in his heart. Besides, even if he didn''t have to take action, Xia En was destined to die. Orlando planned to stay on the sea not far away until he saw the sinking of the [Black Swan] with his own eyes. Perhaps by then, if he steps forward again, he might be able to redeem the Daisy siblings from the vampires. But at that time, the fate of Daisy and her brother will be decided by themselves! Thinking of this, Orlando couldn''t help but curl up into a cold smile. Of course, Xia En didn''t know what this strange captain was thinking. But looking at his demeanor and expression, Xia En could inevitably see his malice and hostility, and couldn''t help but complain. "Does this person have hyperthyroidism?" "Why are you so excited?" Daisy blinked: "Hyperthyroidism, what is that?" Xia Enyan said concisely and concisely: "In short, it''s just a disease." After this little episode, Xia En thought he was about to face an attack from the vampire ship, so he got everyone ready for battle. Just the next moment. Something happened that shocked everyone. "fire!" At the command of the vampire sailors, the cannons on the ship roared loudly, and the cannonballs drew graceful arcs in mid-air. The cannonball hit the water and water columns rose in all directions. However, the main impact point of these shells is not on the [Black Swan], but on the [Dauntless Storm] which has not sailed far! Boom! A heavy cannonball hit the side of the [Dauntless Storm], making a loud noise that shook the entire ship slightly. "Captain Orlando! Shot on the rear side!" The first mate on the ship immediately reported: "Captain, what should we do now?" "Fight or flight?" Orlando was stunned by the cannon and looked behind him in disbelief. Are these vampires crazy? He even beat himself up? Not far away, Xia En quickly understood the reason why the vampires bombarded the [Fearless Storm]. Obviously, because the [Dauntless Storm] and the [Black Swan] are too close, they are considered by the vampires to be Shane''s allies just like the [Breeze] and the [Cold Rain]. And the [Fearless Storm] looked so solid and powerful, so it naturally became their primary target. Speaking of which, how many shots did the [Fearless Storm] block for Xia En and others? After thinking about these things clearly, Xia En couldn''t help but want to laugh. Just now Orlando said that for his sake, the vampires would not take action against Daisy and her sister. As a result, now, he himself is being bombarded by the vampires. I wonder what Orlando is feeling now. The name of the Hans family? Of course it''s scary, but the madness of the Vampires is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Besides, in the [Cold Sea] so far away in the sky, who can prove that they sunk the [Dreadnaught Storm]? Shane was even more curious, what was Orlando going to do now? Was he forced to start a war with the vampires, or was he pretending that nothing had happened and sneak away in despair? Orlando''s expression changed uncertainly for a while, but finally he made up his mind and let the crew shout. "We have nothing to do with the [Black Swan] and will leave immediately." "If you attack the [Fearless Storm] again, don''t blame us for counterattack!" Hearing this, Richard on the [Dark Red Baron] also realized that they seemed to have hit the wrong person, so he immediately changed the target of the fire. [Dauntless Storm] was able to sail into the distance quietly. Shane also didn''t expect that Orlando could be so tolerant when facing the vampires. He was like a green turtle and could only complain. "Look at the back of that ship, it looks like a dog..." Immediately, Xia En became serious and ordered. "[Black Swan], move forward at full speed!" "Target, [Dark Red Baron]!" (End of chapter) Chapter 325 The first battle of [Black Swan] after transformation Chapter 325 The first battle of [Black Swan] after transformation Woo A long and loud whistle sounded on the chilling sea of ??ice. It is different from the last decision of choosing the weakest direction in the encirclement to break out. This time, Xia En charged directly towards the leading [Dark Red Baron]. This is not only because of the rapid improvement of himself and [Black Swan], but also because of the existence of [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] beside him. If there is a fierce pursuit and escape battle like last time, the [Black Swan] may be fine. However, the two ships, which are lagging behind the [Black Swan] in all aspects of performance, will undoubtedly be damaged by gunfire, or even be directly sunk! That''s not what Shane wants to see. Since the two siblings decided to stay, Xia En would not let them down. The best way to prevent the two ships from being attacked is to appear like a meteor and attract all the enemy''s attention. And, at the fastest speed, crush the enemy to pieces! This method sounds a bit fanciful and full of arrogance. Can Shane do this? "I can do it." Xia En said to himself. If before the trip to [Liuli Island], Xia En might not have the confidence to say such words. But now, he has the confidence to make such a decision! The captain is the leader of a ship and the core of the crew. After Xia En issued this order, all the crew members immediately prepared for battle without any hesitation and looked at the approaching vampire ships. At this moment, everyone on the [Black Swan] seemed to have become a whole, and their high fighting spirit continued to surge. Seeing this scene, Daisy on the [Qingfeng] not only looked a little dazed. "So...is this the attitude of the [Black Swan] during battle?" "Although Captain Shane''s crew is small, they are all elite..." The most important thing is the attitude that as long as Shane says a word, the crew members are willing to go through fire and water for him without hesitation. This made both Daisy and Alessio a little surprised and envious. The crew on their ship cannot be said to be disloyal, but that is loyalty based on generous rewards and a reasonable reward and punishment mechanism. If they encounter an invincible enemy, a considerable number of crew members may choose to surrender. Just like the army in the Cold War Age in ancient books, when the number of casualties reaches a certain level, they will flee or even mutiny. It''s just that because of the special environment on the sea, the sailors have no place to escape if they want to. In fact, the choice of Daisy and her brother to stay has already caused dissatisfaction among some crew members. It was just because of their usual prestige that no one dared to speak out. -This kind of relationship is the normal relationship between captains and crew members. Even on a pirate ship, the pirate captain has to be careful about being usurped by his own men. The fact that every crew member on the Black Swan is willing to sacrifice their lives for the captain is a very rare exception. Because of this, when seeing this situation, both Daisy and Alessio couldn''t help but feel a bit of envy in their hearts. "By the way, we have to catch up with Captain Shane as soon as possible." Daisy quickly came to her senses and ordered the crew to follow the Black Swan. However, she soon discovered... I cant keep up, I cant keep up at all! Even though the [Qingfeng] was already moving at full speed, the distance between them and the [Black Swan] instead of getting closer, actually became farther away visibly to the naked eye. For a moment, Daisy wondered if the steam turbine on the ship was malfunctioning! But she soon confirmed that all components on the ship were intact - for this operation, of course they had done a thorough inspection before going to sea, and it was impossible to go to sea with faulty equipment. And the reason why they were left behind by the [Black Swan] was not because the [Qingfeng] was too slow, but just because... The speed of the [Black Swan] is too fast! "That''s right?" Daisy couldn''t help but stare wide-eyed: "[Qingfeng] is equipped with the latest power furnace, how can it be stretched so far?" "Moreover, [Black Swan] is still so big..." It''s easy to understand why Daisy was shocked. A larger ship must have a stronger power core if it wants to have faster speed. The size of [Black Swan] is at least three times that of [Qingfeng], and its speed is also about three times that of [Qingfeng]! This back and forth is enough to illustrate the terrifying performance of the [Black Swan]. Daisy even wanted to dismantle the [Black Swan] to see what its internal structure looked like. Especially its power cabin must hide a huge secret. That''s exactly what happened. In the power room of the [Black Swan], the steam turbine named [The Gluttonous Monarch] is running at maximum power. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Every movement of [Gluttony Monarch] is like a dull heartbeat. It''s like a thunderous drum beat, constantly bursting out with exaggerated power and transmitted to the rear of the hull. It''s like a big, steady and powerful hand, constantly pushing the entire ship forward. Compared with before the hull was strengthened, the appearance of this steam turbine has also changed a lot. The most significant change is its body shape. At this time, [Gluttony Monarch] has completely occupied the entire expanded power room, and it is packed to the brim. It looks like a living mechanical beast composed of levers, gears, and cylinders! In terms of appearance alone, it was already scarier than the steam humanoids in the Rusty Waste City that Shane had seen. On the floor next to the steam turbine, there is also a hill-like [Rhinestone] placed on it. Since federal officials use [Rhinestone] as a strategic resource, as the [Lord of the Rhine], Shane has no reason not to use this material extensively. Coincidentally, after getting the [Rhinestone Pig] named "Pumpman". In [Rhine Secret Realm], the production of [Rhinestone] and [Rhinestone Essence] have been greatly increased. This also gave Xia En the capital to squander them. At this time, every once in a while, a strong stream of steam will be emitted from the abdominal cavity of [Gluttony Monarch], and several pieces of [Rhinestone] will be involved in it. Boom boom Then, a sound like chewing came from the white steam. When the steam dissipated, the previous pieces of [Rhinestone] had disappeared. "Gululu..." Even so, [Gluttonous Monarch]''s desire seems to have not been satisfied, but it still knows the difference between "a full meal" and "a full meal", so it does not continue to eat. On the sea. Naturally, Daisy and Alessio didn''t know what happened in the power room of the [Black Swan]. After the shock, Alessio made the right decision. "Sister, it''s better not to get too close to the [Black Swan] now." "Since we can''t catch up with the [Black Swan], it means that its maneuverability is far superior to ours." "If we follow it, we will become a burden or be affected by artillery shells." "It''s better to provide support from a distance. Maybe we can also provide some help to Captain Shane." As a young officer who became famous at a young age in the Federal Navy, Alessio naturally has real qualities. Therefore, he quickly made an accurate analysis of the battle situation and made the optimal decision. "But...that''s the [Dark Red Baron]..." Looking at the [Black Swan] in front of her, a look of worry appeared on Daisy''s face involuntarily. At the moment, although the [Black Swan] is very aggressive, in terms of numbers, it is obvious that the opposite Vampire race has the upper hand. Is it really wise to confront them directly like this? However, Daisy also knew that she could not change Shane''s decision. He could only follow his brother''s advice, keep a certain distance from the [Black Swan], and prepare to fire at the vampire ship in the distance. Dark Red Baron At the front of the deck, [Blood Killing Grip] Richard looked at the rapidly approaching [Black Swan] and sneered. "Haha, you didn''t choose to run away, but took the initiative to approach me?" "It seems you know there is nowhere to escape this time and want to die in the battle?" "Very good, let me satisfy you!" Although Richard had a contemptuous attitude towards Shane, his behavior was not at all conceited or relaxed. The most obvious place is In Richard''s mind, Xia En is a secret person whose strength is far inferior to him. Richard did not rely on his personal strength to take the initiative to attack the [Black Swan] alone. Instead, he asked the crew to launch another round of bombardment. boom! boom! boom! Countless artillery fired in unison, composing a heroic symphony in this sea area. It has to be said that although these vampire warships vary in size, the accuracy of their artillery is significantly improved compared to the enemies Xia En encountered before. At this distance, it can indeed cause a devastating blow to ordinary warships. However, they still underestimated the mobility of the [Black Swan]! Ever since Xia En traveled through time, the speed of the [Black Swan] has been one of his trump cards. And after this [Black Swan (+8)], its speed soared to the point where even Xia En felt it was a bit exaggerated. In fact, the speed of the two ships that easily escaped the [Qingfeng] before was not the limit of the [Black Swan] at this time! Buzz As the hull trembled slightly, the speed of the [Black Swan] suddenly increased, like a swimming gray-black swordfish, piercing forward. Not only that, the [Black Swan] can also sway left and right in this intensive bombardment, like the stunts performed by sports cars in action movies. Even if they are both vehicles, the difficulty of doing this kind of action on a boat and in a car is completely different. Especially a large ship of the size of the [Black Swan]. If someone says that it can perform operations like "Z-shape shaking", 80% of people will think that this is because their brains are broken. But [Black Swan] did it. This also leads to The cannonballs that were supposed to land on it all failed because of this unnatural acceleration. They plunge into the sea at the end of the parabola, causing huge water columns and small-scale chaotic waves. Seeing this scene, the sailors on the Vampire warship couldn''t help but be stunned. "Are you kidding me?" "N-that... that ship actually dodged all the cannonballs?" Such exaggerated deeds have never appeared even in legends! Not far away, on the [Dauntless Storm], which was fleeing the sea in despair, Orlando couldn''t help but widen his eyes. "How is this possible?" "Is this something a ship can do?" However, Orlando had seen some things about the world, so he quickly calmed down and spoke harshly. "What good is light if it has speed?" "If you really go head-to-head with the [Dark Red Baron], I don''t believe you can survive!" at the same time. [Black Swan] also started its own counterattack. On the side of the ship, several artillery pieces slowly adjusted their muzzles without human control. Together with the rolling shells, they made a low whisper, seeming to laugh at the enemy''s ignorance. Immediately, artillery fire roared! Solid cannonballs were blasted out one after another at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, hitting the hulls of several Vampire warships with a brutal and explosive attitude. Nowadays, the firepower of [Black Swan] has reached an extremely exaggerated level. Not only the density of artillery, but also the intensity of each artillery shot. These artillery pieces are no longer pure physical attacks, but carry the secret power contained in the [Black Swan]. It can be said that each cannonball is a miniature spell. Therefore, although there were strong men on the vampire warships who opened protective shields or intercepted the shells, they had little effect. Some people even had their bodies directly pierced by shells and died on the spot. Of course, this round of shelling was still far from the firepower that penetrated the entire ship. However, compared to the situation where the Vampire warships didn''t even hit a single cannonball, the [Black Swan] can definitely be considered a fruitful victory. The current situation is simply like the [Black Swan] suppressing more than ten vampire warships with the firepower of one ship! "So strong!" Daisy opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared intently at the center of the battlefield, unable to help but look dazed. "Is this the [Black Swan] in combat mode?" The last time she and Alessio rushed to the scene, they had already reached the stage where the [Black Swan] broke out of the encirclement and sprinted with all its strength. Therefore, Daisy only saw the speed of the [Black Swan], but missed the scene of the battle between the two sides. That''s why he was so shocked. And if her mood is one of surprise, then Richard''s mood on the [Dark Red Baron] at this moment can only be described as "furious"! "Damn it! The speed of that ship has actually become faster again?" "What modifications did he make during this time?" Richard''s face was gloomy, but he was not afraid at all. The current situation is ten ships versus one! The advantage is mine! Just relying on the number of people, he can completely crush the [Black Swan]! After the distance between the two parties entered a dangerous range, Richard immediately issued an order. "All hands go out and stop it!" (End of chapter) Chapter 326 Crush head-on and sweep everything! Chapter 326: Frontal crushing, sweeping everything! Following Richard''s order. Many vampire warships immediately galloped out like wild horses. It has to be said that under the command of Richard, the captains of these warships showed quite good tactical qualities. They did not rush towards the [Black Swan] recklessly, but each adjusted their own course and angle, and surrounded it with a cornered force. It was fast and disciplined, as if it had been prepared in advance. Some crew members even shouted: "Be careful of the ghost ship!" After the last breakout battle, the existence of the "Ghost Ship" is no longer a secret among these vampires. But in the eyes of most people, it is still difficult to connect that ghost ship with the famous "Diamond Star" on the sea. Moreover, because the time it appeared was so brief, it didn''t even look like a real ship. Therefore, many vampires believe that the appearance of the ghost ship is just a secret ability of Xia En. It is equivalent to a spell that temporarily summons the shadow of a "ghost ship" to make it attack. Strong is powerful. But there are also restrictions on use. The Vampires would have such a conjecture, which may sound a bit outrageous, but it is actually very reasonable. After all, how could a normal person imagine The legendary [Diamond Star] has actually regained its owner, and is willing to hide in the reflection of the [Black Swan]. However, judging from the actions of the vampire warships. They had obviously learned the lesson from last time, had a deeper understanding of the [Black Swan], and had chosen a set of tactics to deliberately target it. At this moment, all the vampire warships are like hyenas on the grassland. It not only maintains a certain distance from the [Black Swan], but also surrounds it like a big net, and may launch a fatal attack at any time. However, facing such a dangerous situation, Xia En''s expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. Even the course of the [Black Swan] did not waver at all. His goal is clear! No matter what tactics the vampires plan to adopt, Xia En''s primary target is the [Dark Red Baron]! To capture the thief, capture the king first! As long as their leader Richard is killed, the remaining vampires will quickly fall into defeat. Therefore, the [Black Swan] rushed straight towards the [Dark Red Baron], leaving only a snow-white wave behind it. "Huh? You actually want to use me as a breakthrough?" Richard on the deck quickly saw through Shane''s intentions and couldn''t help but sneer. "Very good, it seems I''m really looking down on you!" "Go, activate the [Blood Killing Formation] and sacrifice all the blood food." Hearing this, the first mate next to him was obviously surprised: "All?" For the vampires, "blood food", that is, the slaves on the ship, is a very important resource when sailing on the sea. Once they are exhausted, the crew''s combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and they may even fight each other or fall into madness. Richard''s order was quite generous. The first mate was surprised, but his hand movements were not slow at all, and he passed the order directly. Immediately, deep in the cabin, the throats of prisoners and slaves were slit one after another. Their blood kept dripping on the floor, and was gathered together under the influence of some mysterious force, and was transported to a deeper place. It''s like... this [Dark Red Baron] is greedily sucking the blood of slaves! Thats right, like the Black Swan, the Dark Red Baron is also a living ship! Of course, its activation level is not as high as [Black Swan]. The key ship soul is still in the embryonic stage that has not yet awakened. But even so, this ship also has some special abilities that are beyond ordinary ships. This is one of the reasons why Richard dares to confront the [Black Swan] head-on! At this time, after absorbing the blood of an unknown number of people, the color of the hull of the [Dark Red Baron] became increasingly scarlet. There was also a dark red unknown substance seeping out from the hull and deck. Like a layer of dark red armor, the entire [Dark Red Baron] was wrapped in it, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying. It looks like a warrior from the old days wearing strange armor, just looking at it is unsettling. Not only that, in the front of the ship, where the collision angle was, the dark red material condensed particularly heavily, forming a weapon that looked like a gun or a knife. It''s just that this weapon is unusually large, as if it were a weapon used by a legendary giant! It''s not hard to imagine. What an earth-shattering sight it will be when this **** spear collides with an enemy ship. After being covered with this layer of armor, the momentum of the entire [Dark Red Baron] suddenly changed. It seems to have turned into an evil ghost returning from hell, and will use the most cruel means to tear apart and devour the enemy in front of it. The changes in the [Dark Red Baron] naturally boosted the morale of all the vampires nearby, and they couldn''t help but burst into cheers. Seeing this scene, Xia En was not surprised but overjoyed, and the fighting spirit in his eyes burned like fire. Since we are going to have a head-on battle, what''s the point of crushing ordinary ships? Only this kind of extraordinary warship is qualified to be the opponent of the [Black Swan] in its first battle after its transformation! Woo As if aware of Xia En''s emotions, the [Black Swan] responded with a loud and long blast. It also showed a high fighting spirit and an extremely exciting mood. At this moment, Xia En and Xiao Hei seemed to have one mind! This increased the already incredibly fast speed of the [Black Swan] once again. The black secret power, which is like a substance, lingers around the [Black Swan]. It makes it look like a giant beast from the deep sea, launching a violent sprint among the violent wind and waves. It only takes a few breaths. The distance that had been shortening during the previous march had once again become extremely dangerous. The turbulence caused by the two ships'' galloping had already collided violently. Intersection, entanglement, fighting... Just like the aura surrounding the [Black Swan] and [Dark Red Baron]. Yes, in the current situation, not only the Mystic Path, but also the two extraordinary warships have an aura that goes beyond common sense. Moreover, as the two sides got closer, a fierce confrontation arose. This is no longer like a battle between two ships. It is more like a giant beast from the deep sea, fighting hand-to-hand with the evil spirits of hell. This moment. All the people still alive on this sea area held their breath and focused their attention on the two ships. They also want to know which side will win the final victory in this battle of extraordinary warships. Boom! ! The first thing to collide was the barrier formed by the mysterious power around the two ships. Black and red collided with each other, causing waves of waves to rise in the nearby sea. The creatures under the sea have fled this sea area early, for fear of being affected by it. The fierce aftermath also rolled up a huge wave at least ten meters high, forcing the nearest vampire warship back. Immediately afterwards, the two ships collided at a huge angle! Normally, at such a fast speed, it is almost impossible to hit the opponent''s collision angle so accurately. But under the control of Xia En and the Black Swan, the man and the ship were integrated into one, so this was not very difficult. Xia En was even able to make the [Black Swan] complete the impact at a more tricky angle, slightly tilted. There was a loud sound like a bell, and the entire sea area trembled. This is a collision of unpretentious power and secret power. It is also like two incredibly large swords, used as weapons by two giants to fight. However, the result was not what the vampires expected. It was like crushing those previous ships, directly breaking the collision angle of the [Black Swan]. Quite the opposite. After a brief stalemate, a long crack suddenly appeared on the dark red corner of the [Dark Red Baron]. Subsequently, this crack continued to spread and expand outward, and finally covered the entire collision angle like a spider web. Click...click... A dense cracking sound soon came from the collision angle. "How...how could this happen?" Richard''s eyes widened in astonishment, and a shock that had never appeared before appeared on his face. After the [Blood Killing Formation] was launched, the [Dark Red Baron] had never lost a head-on collision with other ships! But right now, the [Dark Red Baron] is at a disadvantage. Moreover, it is not an ordinary disadvantage! Because, in this collision, the collision horn of the [Black Swan] did not even show signs of fragmentation, but only a small corner was missing. This shows that the strength of the [Black Swan] is definitely several times that of the [Dark Red Baron]! But at this time, there was no time to shock Richard. Because, after smashing the dark red collision corner. The speed of the [Black Swan] only paused for a moment before it continued to collide with the [Dark Red Baron] under the influence of huge inertia. The power that such a large ship can produce after impacting at full speed is absolutely astonishing. That even exceeded most of the attacks that Xia En could perform. Just imagine the feeling of a super-heavy train crashing into it at extremely fast speeds, and you can understand the power of the Black Swan''s life-threatening collision, right? Of course, the effects of forces are reciprocal. Such an impact would also cause a strong counter-shock force to the [Black Swan], but with the current [Sturdiness] attribute of the [Black Swan], it was able to withstand such a counter-shock force. But the [Dark Red Baron] was not so lucky. The [Black Swan] was like a roaring sledgehammer. After severely smashing its ramming angle, it continued to smash into its hull. boom! ! The two ships really collided! The dark red "armor" condensed by the secret power of slaves'' blood began to shatter at the first moment of collision. Immediately, there was the inner hull, the keel supporting the hull, the more core cabin, and the vampire crew in the cabin... No matter what it is, everything that stands in front of the [Black Swan] will be crushed to pieces like this! This is absolute power! Absolute violence! From a wider perspective, the [Black Swan] is like a huge and strong nail, ruthlessly and neatly driven into the hull of the [Dark Red Baron]. Almost three-quarters of the hull was broken by this blow. Countless sailors were thrown off the deck or directly killed by the [Black Swan]. After this collision, the sinking of the [Dark Red Baron] became a matter of time. On the other hand, on the Black Swan, only the front hull had a few cracks, while other parts were completely intact. The protective shield surrounding the Black Swan struggled to withstand the aftershocks of the impact. But in fact, there was some damage inside the [Black Swan]. But compared with the tragic situation where the [Dark Red Baron] was almost "cut in half", that was really a minor injury that couldn''t be more minor. As for other people further away, even those subtle "injuries" could not be seen. People just looked at this scene in disbelief and couldn''t even say a word. No amount of words could describe the shock in their hearts at this time. No one thought that such a brutal and unreasonable collision would end with the Black Swan''s victory. Which captain would normally use a collision method to conduct a naval battle? If you do that, even if you win, your ship will be seriously damaged, leading to accidents during subsequent voyages. But [Dark Red Baron] and [Black Swan] chose this method to decide the outcome. The vampires know something about the record of the [Dark Red Baron], so they can understand why Richard did this. But the [Black Swan] not only chose the same tactic, but also directly pierced the [Dark Red Baron] under the [Blood Killing Formation] without any damage? ! How hard is that ship? As for the ships that had sailed away from this sea area before, including the [Dauntless Storm], they also more or less observed this "shock-stunning collision." There was also a similar shock. One captain couldn''t help but think: "Could it be that the [Black Swan] can really kill so many vampire warships by itself?" Even though it sounds unbelievable, it does seem possible to become a reality! at the same time. On the deck, Xia En, who had stabilized his body before the impact, did not relax. Rather, the battle really begins now! The moment Xia En had this idea, a figure wearing a blood-colored windbreaker had already arrived in front of him. "Shane" Richard had strong anger and hatred in his eyes, and he roared as if he wanted to tear Shane into pieces and swallow him. At the same time, those scarlet claws also attacked Xia En''s chest, as if they wanted to cut open his chest and grab his heart? If he had arrived at [Liu Li Island] before, Xia En might not be able to react to Richard''s attack. After all, the other party is a genuine sixth-level secret traveler! On the secret road, the gap of one level is often disappointing. But at this moment, in a flash of lightning, Shane directly grabbed Richard''s wrist. Click! That was the sound of the carpal bones of the wrist being crushed! (End of chapter) Chapter 327 Defeating Richard, the Blood Conspiracy Chapter 327 Defeat Richard, the conspiracy of the vampires "Uh-huh!" Feeling the severe pain in his wrist, Richard let out a roar from his throat, and continued to stab Shane''s chest with his other hand. At this distance, Xia En can clearly see... A slender bone blade grew out of the front of his palm, and the whole hand looked like a murder weapon. If it were allowed to pierce into flesh and blood, it would definitely cause extremely serious injuries. Moreover, with the Vampire''s ability to control blood, once Richard scratches the skin, it may cause more than just physical damage. But from the beginning, Shane had no intention of letting Richard hurt himself. Before the bone blade touched his chest, Shane had already grabbed the wrist of his hand. And, crush it into pieces as usual! Richard''s pupils shrank slightly. Catching it once can be described as a coincidence, but catching it twice in succession shows that Xia En''s reaction power and speed are both better than his! And the huge power coming from the wrist was far beyond Richard''s expectation. What''s going on? Richard was filled with shock and anger. Based on the information collected from the last battle, Xia En was clearly only a fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder. -The aura exuding from his body also proves this point. But why, no matter in terms of strength, speed, eyesight, or reflexes, this Xia En seems to have surpassed himself as a sixth-level Mystic Path user! ? Could it be that he is actually a mystic who specializes in physical enhancement, and he concealed his strength in the last battle? Although this speculation sounds far away from the truth. But it is perfectly normal for Richard to make such a judgment. After all, no one would have thought that Xia En had such a heaven-defying talent as [Captains Majesty]. It is even more unimaginable that after traveling to [Liu Li Island], Xia En relied on "Krypton Gold", strengthening and Xian Ge''s "Forging Fire Technique" to forcibly raise his physical fitness from the fifth level to far beyond the ordinary sixth level. the situation of the person. Of course, Xia En''s rank is still only fifth level, but he only has sixth level combat power. When he truly breaks through to the sixth level, his strength will still improve greatly. In fact, this is also due to the fact that the gap in combat power between the fifth and sixth levels is not too big. For example, between the fourth level and the fifth level, between the sixth level and the seventh level, it can be regarded as a watershed for those on the secret path. The former determines whether the mystic has mastered the ability of [Field]. When a sixth-level transcendent is promoted, he will complete a certain level of sublimation in life and undergo a transformation that is difficult to describe in words. There are also some people who claim that after breaking through the seventh level, the Mystics become two completely different species from their original selves. Similarly, the seventh-level promotion ritual is a prerequisite for transforming into a god. Because of this, the gap between the sixth level and the seventh level can be called a real and despairing chasm. This is also the reason why seventh-level legendary powerhouses are so rare in the Seven Seas. In contrast, there is actually no essential difference between fifth-level and sixth-level mystics. Some are just the difference in the total amount of secret power and physical strength. Although he was shocked by Shane''s display of strength, Richard was already riding a tiger with no way out. He roared again, blood welling up in the depths of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, the scarlet blood expanded outward with Richard as the center, like an exploding mist. There is a lot of filthy negative emotions in those blood, and you can feel the resentment, hatred, and anger in them without even touching them... There are also whispers quietly echoing in the blood. Just looking at this mass of blood will make a sane person feel disgusted. Obviously, this is Richard''s ability to become famous - Killing Intent Domain! Seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate. The [Great Dark Sky] condensed around him suddenly expanded and collided with the **** mist. Simply speaking, in terms of the strength of the field, [Great Dark Sky] is naturally higher than Richard''s [Killing Intent Field], and is estimated to be several times stronger. However, Richard''s domain is not simply a secret power, but also contains many strange impurities such as emotions and curses. Although [Great Dark Sky] has curbed the spread of the **** mist, some negative emotions are still transmitted to Xia En''s mind, and will also affect other crew members. As soon as they made contact, even with Xia En''s determination, a flash of blood flashed in his eyes. The killing intent in his heart kept rising, destroying his original calmness and calmness. In combat, this is never a good thing. Being driven away by your will and taking some reckless actions can easily turn into a huge flaw. This state is a bit like the "madness" of a berserker, reducing the user''s intelligence. If it lasts long enough, the intelligence can be drained directly to a level lower than that of an animal. After the intelligence is drained, even martial arts and spells cannot be used, let alone fight calmly. According to rumors, there are even worse cases where Richard turned into a monster that only knew **** in the [Killing Intent Domain]. In a sense, even if they are still alive physically, their souls are already dead. And in battle, how can people not have the intention to kill the enemy? This is the difficult part of the [Killing Intent Domain]. It only needs to amplify the murderous intention in the enemy''s heart, and it can continuously affect their sanity. Fortunately, at this moment, a melodious song sounded on the deck of the [Black Swan]. This song is as ethereal as crystal, like the sound of clear springs in the mountains. It reminds me of the summer evening breeze blowing through the window and caressing the wind chimes. Singing has the secret power to soothe the soul and cleanse the spirit. In just a dazed moment, the restlessness in Xia En''s heart calmed down. Of course, the murderous intention was still there, but it was within his control. "Good job Joey!" After praising Joey, Shane strode forward and faced Richard in front of him. At the same time as he used [Killing Intent Domain], Richard''s crushed wrist turned into blood mist with a "peng" sound. At this time, the blood mist condensed again and turned into intact hands. -The self-healing power of high-level vampires is so tyrannical. However, Richard did not realize that as his body recovered, a cold, imperceptible secret power had quietly lurked in his body... "Is this...the song of the sirens?" Soon, Richard realized the source of the voice that had shaken Shane out of his frenzy, and he couldn''t help but look surprised. "Are you kidding? Why does the siren''s song have the effect of purifying the soul?" However, Xia En had no intention of answering his question, but launched a very simple and direct attack. Wrapped in the [Great Dark Sky], Xia En, whose body was already extremely strong, was more like wearing an indestructible armor that integrated both offense and defense. It can be said that Shane is like a superman now! Extremely fast speed, great strength, and an almost indestructible body. It doesn''t even require any special abilities. Such an existence itself is a natural killer weapon. With every movement of his hand, he can cause extremely terrifying destructive power. Therefore, Xia En''s attack method has also been simplified a lot, that is... Punch! Punch! Punch again! It sounds like a normal attack, but what if each punch is powerful enough to break a mountain, and you can hit four or five punches every second? All of a sudden. Richard received a baptism like a storm! Every punch that Shane landed on him made him feel like he was running into a mountain while running at full speed. Blossoms of blood mist continued to explode and condense on Richard''s body. Even if he has pushed his self-healing ability to the extreme, there is still a vague tendency to lose his human form. It was as if the entire body was about to be blown away by such a blow. What''s even more desperate is that Richard can''t find a chance to escape from these waves of attacks. Under the suppression of the [Great Dark Sky], he felt like he was in the deep sea, being pushed down by the huge water pressure and sinking. It took a lot of effort not to sink. It is even less possible to float into the air and create distance between the two parties. On the other hand, Richard''s counterattack - the attacks of the **** dark claws and the blows of the **** whip - could only leave traces of traces on Shane''s body. It doesn''t even have the ability to create a wound! It can be said that the battle between the two was completely one-sided. This famous [Blood Killing Grip] in the Seven Seas was actually at a complete disadvantage and was beaten by Xia En! Seeing this scene, not only the surviving vampires on the [Dark Red Baron], but also the people on the [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] further away could not help but stare blankly. They had more or less contact with Xia En, but the captain gave them the impression that he was more like a gentle and harmless young man. It wasn''t until Xia En actually took action that everyone realized that this handsome man was powerful and ferocious that was inconsistent with his appearance. It''s like a wild beast in human skin! "Even [Blood Killing Grip] is no match for Captain Shane?" The Daisy siblings were no less surprised than the others. In other words, it was precisely because of his closer connection with Xia En that his performance at this time surprised the two of them even more. "So this is Captain Shane''s true strength?" "He hid it so deeply! He even deceived us." Daisy was filled with emotion. She already thought she had underestimated Xia En''s combat power, but now she realized that her estimate was still too low! Alessio sighed: "No wonder Carles chose him." After witnessing Xia En''s fighting power with his own eyes, the remaining hope in Alessio''s heart was shattered. He was certain that no matter how much time he gave himself, he might not be able to catch up with Xia En. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" "How can this guy be so strong?" In the battlefield, Richard struggled to resist Shane''s offensive, while roaring in confusion in his heart. This is completely different from the information collected before! Xia En before was clearly just an ordinary fifth-level strongman. Even if he had the means to kill a sixth-level strongman, it was only when the unlucky guy was too arrogant. As for his sister, if it hadn''t been for the ban on [Island of Sand] and Carles'' intervention, there would have been no way she would have died in Xia En''s hands. But now, the feeling that Shane gives Richard is like... Unless a legendary powerhouse comes in person, you can''t defeat it even if you try your best! How could one person have such an exaggerated increase in strength in less than a month? Richard''s thoughts were the same as those of Daisy''s brother and sister, that is - the previous Shane must have been hiding his strength! However, regardless of this fact, it cannot change the situation that Richard is in danger. Just after Shane punched Richard''s arm apart again, he finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and shouted. "Julian! Lilith! What are you waiting for?" "Still not taking action?" In fact, Richard had actually made adequate preparations for this attack. There are three sixth-level secret path practitioners like him! However, it seems that because they were shocked by Xia En''s display of strength, the remaining two people have not taken action until now. So much so that it disrupted Richard''s plan. As soon as Richard finished speaking, a man''s face suddenly appeared in the **** mist behind Shane. With a greedy smile on his face, he quietly came to Xia En''s neck and took a bite. The intention of this vampire is extremely crazy. He wants to turn Xia En into his blood slave! Boom! However, after this bite, his blood-sucking teeth not only did not pierce Xia En''s skin, but were directly shattered! Under the protection of [Great Dark Sky], it is almost impossible to penetrate Xia En''s defense in this way. boom! Immediately afterwards, Xia En punched the man''s face, turning it into a **** mist. But the next moment. Another identical face appeared in the mist. "Is your name Xia En?" "Your blood... is very sweet. If you surrender now, I will give you your first embrace." Xia En sneered: "You don''t seem to understand the current situation." "No, I know very well." The vampire named Julian smiled sadly: "You are indeed very strong." "But that''s not necessarily the case for your crew, right?" "It''s just a group of third- and fourth-level minions." "Moreover, according to the intelligence collected, you are still a very emotional person..." Compared to Richard, Julian''s character is obviously more sinister and vicious, and he is obviously the kind of guy who is not afraid to use any means to achieve his goals. "As long as we hold you off for now while our remaining companions, Lilith, capture your crew." "When the time comes, what choice will you make? It''s really curious!" "Oh no, maybe Lilith has succeeded now?" It has to be said that Julian''s words really pointed out Shane''s flaws. However, Xia En remained calm. He had confidence in his crew. Moreover, the best way to protect the crew is to crush the enemy in front of you as quickly as possible! So, he took action again without hesitation! at the same time. A female vampire named Lilian has quietly infiltrated the Black Swan. (End of chapter) Chapter 328 Im just an administrator, I dont have the power they have Chapter 328 Im just an administrator, I dont have the power they have Take advantage of the melee on the deck. Sixth-level Vampire Lilith quietly sneaked into the cabin of the [Black Swan]. There was a slightly frightened expression on her face. -The "shattering collision" just now, as well as the strength shown by Xia En against Richard, also gave her a big impact. It is precisely because of this that Lilith and Julian gave up their original plan of three people to besiege Shane and instead used this despicable strategy to win. However, no matter what the plan is, as long as it can achieve final victory, it is a good plan. Lilith also agreed with this decision to avoid the edge temporarily. No matter how strong Xia En is, there is only one person. And after all, there are three sixth-level experts on his side! This numerical advantage should naturally be taken advantage of. Lilith''s winning gaze swept around the cabin. Whether it was the intelligence obtained in advance or the aura she sensed at this time, only Xia En could threaten her on this ship. At the moment, Shane has been entangled with Richard and the two, and there is no one on this ship who can fight against him. Then of course it was time for her to go on a killing spree! "Let''s start with the white-haired siren..." Lilith''s lips curved into a sneer. As a woman, Lilith has always been jealous and hostile towards guys who are prettier than her, not to mention that the girl is still so young, at least dozens of times younger than herself. Coincidentally, Joey''s singing also has a restraining effect on Richard''s [Blood Killing Domain]. Catching her first would undoubtedly be of great help to the battle situation. "Although I can''t kill her for the time being, I can do some tricks." Lilith''s eyes were full of malice: "Perhaps... it would be a good decision to cut her cheek and completely disfigure her." While thinking this, Lilith slowly approached towards the direction where the singing came from. "Um?" Suddenly, Lilith raised her eyebrows and looked around for a moment. "It''s strange, there''s obviously no one..." I don''t know if it was Lilith''s illusion, but ever since she came to the [Black Swan], she has always felt like being watched. Moreover, there was more than one peeking gaze! It was as if there were countless people hiding in the shadows watching him and making weird whispers. "Am I too nervous?" Lilith shook her head, throwing away the ominous premonition. It''s just a ship. Even if it''s advanced, huge, and strong, what can it do without its owner to control it? But soon, Lilith felt that she seemed to be wrong. As she moved forward in the cabin, more and more peeping glances appeared around her, as if there was a large invisible net covering her body. Not only that, the secret power in Lilith''s body also seemed to be suppressed by something, and it became a little slow and difficult to operate. This symptom was as if she had unknowingly entered the realm of a strong person. And was suppressed by the field. "What the **** is going on?" Lilith couldn''t help asking such questions in her heart. However, no one could answer her questions. Even stranger things are yet to come. It was clear that the singing voice of the white-haired siren was not far from Lilith, but after walking for so long, she still couldn''t lock on to that person''s blood aura. It seemed as if there was still a very long distance between them. But the question is, this ship is so big, why haven''t we seen any living people until now? Are they all hiding? Or should I say that I have been spinning in circles from the beginning? Thinking of this possibility, Lilith began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. The dark cabin, the floors and walls that didn''t look much different, the oppressive air everywhere. Looking at the surrounding scene, a strange strange feeling was eroding Lilith''s heart little by little. The area she was in seemed to be connected to some distant and profound space. Lilith looked up and looked deep into the cabin. there Floors, walls and ceilings appear fragmented. The dark shadows of chaos and countless flickering light spots in the distance slowly undulated, turning into bizarre light and shadow illusions. They stirred silently in the depths of the cabin, lingering in whispers in the darkness. Just looking at this scene, Lilith, a sixth-level mystic who has experienced hundreds of battles, couldn''t help but feel a creepy feeling. "Something''s wrong...something''s very wrong!" Lilith''s expression suddenly changed, and a steady stream of fear arose in her heart: "What on earth is this ship?" After her expression changed several times, Lilith finally made up her mind. She wants to use violence to destroy the surrounding cabins! Although this may cause the plan to fail, at least it will allow you to survive! The interior of this ship is really a bit too evil. However, just as Lilith was activating her secret power, the light and shadow on the wall not far in front of her suddenly began to distort strangely. Lilith''s heart suddenly tightened and she looked in the direction of the wall. I saw a translucent figure wearing a witch hat and a blue dress slowly walking out of the wall. "Who are you?" Lilith''s heart was high. Normally, this ability to walk through walls is actually not very special at all. However, in this strange environment, Lilith would inevitably feel uneasy when such a translucent figure suddenly walked out. "ghost?!" After recognizing the identity of the person, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief. Although ghosts are rare in the Seven Seas, they are not something that has never appeared before. Moreover, according to the aura that Lilith sensed, this ghost was not very powerful and could even be described as "weak". After walking out of the wall, Vivian did not speak, but just stared at the uninvited guest in silence. Lilith sneered: "Ha... pretending to be a ghost!" Before he finished speaking, a blood shadow struck Vivian''s delicate body like lightning. This is just a tentative attack. But with Lilith''s sixth-level strength, such a temptation can easily kill an ordinary fourth-level mystic. However, Miss Ghost did not dodge or dodge, she just let the blood shadow draw towards her body. Before Lilith''s eyes showed a happy look of "succeeded". The blood shadow shattered with a "chi" sound, and then disappeared at an extremely fast speed. "What?" Lilith opened her eyes slightly and stared at the ghost girl in front of her. If the other party used some means to crush her attack, she wouldn''t be that surprised at all. But in Lilith''s perception, this ghost did nothing, as if... the blood shadow she inspired hit an invisible big mouth, was chewed by it, and then swallowed. "...I originally wanted to take action myself." "But now it seems that there is someone who can solve you without me..." At this moment, Vivian looked deeply into the cabin, then looked at Lilith with a little sympathy and said this. "What on earth are you talking about?" Lilith only felt that the ghost in front of her was saying some random things. After all, she is a sixth-level secret pather. When has she ever suffered such contempt! However, Vivian ignored her and just walked back into the wall as if she had never appeared before. "what the hell?" Before Lilith''s shock subsided, a steady sound of footsteps came from the cabin not far away. Tread...tap...tread... The footsteps were neither urgent nor slow, as if they were sorting the messed up bookshelf in order. Soon, Lilith saw an old woman wearing a black gauze skirt and slightly silvery hair walking towards her from the cabin. The old woman''s eyes were filled with wisdom and rationality, and her former beauty could be vaguely seen in her aging face. Lilith''s first reaction when seeing this old woman was to laugh. Such a frail, aging old woman also wants to stop herself? This is simply nonsense! But after experiencing the previous abnormal situation, Lilith finally learned a little wiser and knew that the other party was probably not as simple as it seemed. Therefore, she no longer hesitated and activated her powerful secret technique without saying a word. From the palm of her hand, a blood-red light beam as thick as the mouth of a bowl suddenly shot out, hitting the old woman''s face! The old woman also stood there and did not move. When the light beam approached her side, countless numbers and symbols suddenly emerged from the air, easily blocking the blood-colored light beam. Oh no, rather than blocking it, it was more like using some incomprehensible means to analyze and decipher it at the level of secret power. Not only that. In the blink of an eye, those things that looked like data streams continued to condense into **** spheres, and were shot back at a speed that was no worse than when they came. boom! Lilith held up a blood shield and blocked the secret bombardment with difficulty. Her mouth was bleeding and she murmured in disbelief. "This...how is this possible? Why do you use my secret technique?" "Is this difficult?" "A secret technique that can be achieved just by imitating it shouldn''t be of much value, right?" Jane said calmly, as if she had done a trivial thing. "I''m just an administrator, I don''t have the power of Captain Shane." "But...it''s no problem to deal with a small character like you." At this time, I heard Jane''s calm words with almost no emotional fluctuations, and the self-proclaimed "administrator". Lilith finally woke up, remembered something, and her expression suddenly changed. "Administrator...you are the administrator of the Federal Library!?" "But why are you on this ship?" Jane indifferently raised her cane and pointed at Lilith in front of her. "That''s not something you should know." There was a "pop" sound. After being punched in the chest, Richard spat out a mouthful of blood. There were even a few pieces of internal organs mixed in there. Normally, Richard can turn his body into blood mist to resist most physical damage. But at this time, he had consumed a lot of secret power after being broken and restored again and again, so that he could not regenerate normally. It can be seen that Richard suffered serious injuries during this period. Not only Richard, but Julian who was with him had also been pulled out of the blood mist by Shane and fell dying on the deck. Julian''s situation was even more miserable than Richard''s, with almost only one-fifth of his body left squirming with difficulty. What he just said undoubtedly touched Xia En''s inner side. Therefore, Xia En was not going to let him die so easily. "Damn it, why hasn''t Lilith shown up yet?" Julian neighed resentfully and unwillingly from his throat: "Did she abandon us and run away?" Shane put his foot on Julian''s newly regenerated part again and said lightly at the same time. "The answer is simple." "Your companion has been killed by my crew." With the bond between him and the [Black Swan], he was naturally aware of what was happening inside the cabin. The only thing that made Xia En a little confused was that Vivian, who had always been slow-witted, seemed to be planning to take action? Does she have the ability to defeat Lilith? "impossible!" Julian retorted fiercely, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw. Lilith, who has not yet appeared, is their last resort. On the other side, Richard seemed to understand the situation clearly and spoke with difficulty. "Shane, we can surrender!" "As long as you spare our lives, we can lead our vampires to help you." "By the way, aren''t you going to deal with the catastrophe in the future? We will definitely be able to play a role then." Hearing this, Xia En just sneered. "You know how to surrender now? It''s too late!" "Not only you, but all the vampires on your ship will also die!" If they were ordinary crew members on enemy ships, Xia En might even send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm] to be used as death row prisoners or slaves to squeeze out the last bit of value. But the vampire itself is an extremely unstable existence. They must draw fresh blood to survive, and ordinary animal blood is not enough. Send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Without blood as food, they will still lose their ability to move. It can be said that even as slaves, vampires are the worst and worst kind. But that''s it. Richard''s body suddenly exploded, and countless blood mist spread in all directions. Shane saw his intention at a glance. Richard wants to escape! His words of begging for mercy and surrender were probably intended to relax Xia En''s vigilance. But, unfortunately, Xia En was on guard against his escape from the very beginning. The profound touch! In an instant, the [Secret Power of the Void] hidden in the blood mist suddenly exploded. Countless tentacles of darkness emerged from the underworld, drowning the surrounding blood mist like a wave, and greedily devoured everything they encountered. Julian on the side was also included. "No...no!!" As the two screamed, the blood mist around them quickly dissipated. In the end, these two sixth-level secret pathers didnt even leave any remains behind. Then, Xia En turned to look at the other vampire ships, and once again urged the [Black Swan] to charge. (End of chapter) Chapter 329 Count the loot! Break the ice and move forward! Chapter 329 Counting the loot! Break the ice and move forward! After the vampire side lost three sixth-level combatants. The battle situation naturally fell into a one-sided situation. Although the blood clan''s warships are numerous in number, their artillery firepower is also quite fierce. But for an unreasonable warship like the [Black Swan], numerical advantage is meaningless, and it is even difficult for artillery shells to hit it! Coupled with the death of three of the strongest combatants, the morale of the Vampire Clan was already at an extremely low level. During this period, Xia En also summoned the [Diamond Star] once, devastating two vampire warships. So, it took less than ten minutes. The blood clan warships that had been approaching menacingly before were completely demoralized and fled in all directions. [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] also joined the ranks of annihilating the defeated troops. However, there are more than ten vampire warships after all, and it will take a lot of effort to make each warship incapacitated. -Xia En can''t deal with every ship, just let [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] directly hit them with their hulls. This attack method is easy to use, but it will also cause certain damage to the two ships and reduce their durability. It''s just not visible on the surface. As a captain who loves Xiaoxing and Xiaohei, Shane will only do this when necessary. Therefore, even though the speed of the [Black Swan] was far higher than that of its opponents, after successively incapacitating six or seven vampire warships, Xia En still lost the whereabouts of the other warships. Counting carefully, there are about four or five warships that took advantage of the chaos to escape from this sea area, right? But even so. This record is already considered very terrifying. In fact, except for Shane and the crew of the Black Swan, no one expected that this battle would end like this. With the two frigates being of little use, the [Black Swan] faced off against more than a dozen warships headed by the [Dark Red Baron]. Not only did he kill three sixth-level Mystics including Richard, but he also sank several vampire warships including the [Dark Red Baron]. The captains who were still staying nearby were stunned by the results of this battle. "[Black Swan]...actually won?" "Obviously it''s just a ship!" Someone retorted: "No, didn''t you see it just now? The shadow of the ghost ship appeared again!" "Could it be said that it and the [Black Swan] are actually one?" "This is too exaggerated..." After seeing the final result, the captains of some ships suddenly had special thoughts. Not only did it not leave, but it approached the direction of the [Black Swan]. They came to [Lenglie Sea] to solve the crisis of the world-destroying flood and gain more merits. And it is conceivable that there will be quite a lot of dangers along the way. Right now, Xia En and his [Black Swan] are showing extremely strong strength. These captains naturally wanted to hug this thick thigh to increase their chance of survival in the next operation. No matter which world you are in, as long as you show awesome strength and ability, people will naturally take the initiative to fawn over and cling to you. In fact, the person these captains had previously chosen to fawn over was Orlando, who was sitting on the Dauntless Storm. After witnessing this "unbelievable" naval battle, they silently left the "Dauntless Storm" and sailed towards the "Black Swan". Seeing this scene, Orlando''s face on the deck of the Fearless Storm was as gloomy as water. But there was also a hint of deeply hidden fear in Orlando''s eyes. "Damn it! He actually survived?" "That ship is so powerful..." Orlando still has some self-awareness for the time being. He knew that even he would only die when faced with the siege of the [Dark Red Baron] and numerous vampire warships. -Otherwise, he wouldn''t have left without any response even after being bombarded. But at this time, Xia En forced his way out of a desperate situation. This ability is enough to make Orlando feel strongly fearful. Moreover, Orlando also knew that he had offended the other party in the previous contact. Thinking of this, a hint of evil flashed in Orlando''s eyes, and a dark thought emerged in his mind. After such a fierce battle, the [Black Swan] was not intact. There were signs of breakage on the front collision angle, and the side of the ship was also hit by a stray bullet. It didn''t look like it was in peak condition. If he takes action now, maybe he can solve this problem once and for all? However, Orlando quickly thought of the large ship that suddenly appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and a sense of fear emerged in his heart for no reason. It was obvious that the ship was no illusion! It is a real thing and has some close connection with [Black Swan]. [Dauntless Storm] is not even sure of dealing with [Black Swan]. If we add that ghost ship, is there really any chance of winning? After some thought, Orlando gritted his teeth unwillingly, but he still could only grit his teeth unwillingly. "Let''s go!" at the same time. Xia En also gave up chasing other vampire warships and began to clean the battlefield and count the loot. This battle can be said to be the first battle between the [Black Swan] and the [Diamond Star] after their transformation. The strength and quantity of the enemy are worthy of this "first battle." Correspondingly, the report of this battle is also quite rich. Not to mention anything else, just the inventory in the space rings carried by the three sixth-level Vampires is a huge sum of money. At this time, Jane came to the deck and casually placed Lilith''s head in front of Xia En. Lilith, who had only one head left, opened her eyes wide, filled with horror, as if she had seen some extremely terrifying scene before she died. "Ms. Jane, thank you for your hard work." Shane thanked Jane. If Jane hadn''t taken action, maybe the situation would have developed into what the vampires planned. It can be said that Jane''s arrival has made up for the lack of high-end combat power on the [Black Swan], so that Xia En will not be reduced to the point where he is unable to do anything. "It''s just a little effort." Jian smiled lightly and did not take credit for this matter. "And, since I am already a crew member of the [Black Swan], this is what I should do." Her words made the other crew members feel a lot better. Originally, everyone didn''t know much about this strange old woman, but after this battle, Jane''s attitude undoubtedly showed that she would be everyone''s companion. Let people get closer naturally. But after hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. A little effort? It''s as if the sixth-level powerhouse is some kind of cabbage. Despite the fact that it seemed very easy for Shane to crush the two of them, that was because his numerical value was far higher than the two of them, and he happened to have the power of the domain to restrain them. Even in the end, in order to kill two people, Xia En had to use the [Secret Power of the Void] and [The Touch of the Deep] to suppress the situation. This shows how difficult it is to kill the sixth-level vampires. But judging from Jane''s performance, killing Lilith seemed to be just an ordinary and trivial matter. Not much more important than "What''s for dinner tonight?" Xia En couldn''t help but be curious. In a real situation, how strong can Jane be in combat? There are definitely more than six levels, so... what about legends? But right now, it is obviously not the time to delve into this issue. There are also spoils and prisoners on several warships waiting for Xia En to deal with. It didn''t take long. With the joint efforts of Xia En and the crew, they were able to squeeze out the remaining value of these vampire warships as much as possible. First of all, Xia En himself did not intend to keep any of the vampire prisoners. His original intention was to kill everyone without leaving any one behind. But at this time, several nearby captains came forward and stated that they were willing to spend some gold dragon coins to accept these prisoners of war. - Due to the difficulty of killing vampires, they are often used in some particularly dangerous situations. After thinking about it, Xia En agreed and only killed those higher-ranking vampires. After all, this can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization. As for whether these captains will fight back from the blood clan, that''s not a problem he should worry about. As for the valuable materials and secret treasures on the vampire warship, most of them were looted by Xia En. Of course, due to the limited number of people and time, Xia En''s search was very hasty and rough, and he only searched a few high-value cabins. Among them, it is worth mentioning. From the wreckage of the "Dark Baron", Shane found a special statue that looked like a heart. It was placed in the deepest part of the cabin. When it was discovered, there were several cracks on the surface, but it was still beating weakly. Obviously, this is probably the core of the [Dark Red Baron] and the reason why this ship has extraordinary qualities. For ordinary captains, this should be considered a rare secret treasure. But for Xia En, who owns the two living ships "Black Swan" and "Diamond Star", it doesn''t have much effect. Shane planned to wait for it to heal on its own before considering whether to sell it. In addition to the usual trophies, Shane also unexpectedly gained a group of slaves. Those are the survivors who served as "blood food" on several vampire warships. Some of them are crew members captured after being defeated by the vampires, and some are purchased slaves. After being rescued, these survivors were generally thin, photophobic, extremely frightened, and had many traces of cuts and bleeding all over their bodies. One can imagine the miserable treatment they encountered before. Seeing these people, Xia En''s little guilt for killing the vampires completely disappeared. For this group of slaves, Xia En plans to select a group of qualified and good-hearted slaves and send them to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for the construction of [Rhine City]. The rest was given to the Daisy siblings and other captains. Shane''s decision was quite rational. After all, although he is compassionate, he is not a philanthropist. In future naval battles, he will definitely accept a large number of prisoners of war and slaves, and it is impossible to send all these people to the [Rhine Secret Realm] every time. Otherwise, there would be chaos in [Rhine Secret Realm]. Trying to attract high-quality talents and controlling the proportion of slave population in [Rhineland] is the right path for the healthy development of [Rhine City]. After collecting the loot, Xia En took a rough inventory and couldn''t help but secretly clicked his tongue. The profit from this naval battle was almost one-third of his transaction amount at [Liu Li Island]. No wonder its said that there is a gold belt for murder and arson! Looting is always the fastest way to make money. In fact, the most valuable spoils of this naval battle were actually the vampire warships. Unfortunately, in the previous battle, in order to destroy their ability to move, Shane bombarded them a little too hard, causing several ships to inevitably sink. on the other hand. In an environment like the [Cold Sea], it was impossible for Xia En to take these ships to an island where they could be taken out. So Xia En had no choice but to give them up. After doing all this, Xia En no longer stayed where he was, but headed towards the sea further north. As for those captains who tried to go with him, Xia En refused without mercy. Very simple reason. Since these people were previously unwilling to fight side by side with the [Black Swan], why should Xia En provide them with unconditional asylum? Seeing this, Daisy and her brother were even more grateful that they had made the right choice before. Soon, two days passed. Everyone on the [Black Swan] could clearly feel that the surrounding air began to cool down significantly. Not only that, the number of ice floes on the sea has also begun to increase. When sailing into this sea area, you need to be careful of the icebergs hidden under the sea. If they accidentally collided with each other, [Black Swan] would probably be fine, but [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu] would not be so lucky. "Mr. Captain, why do you feel that the [Cold Sea] is much colder than before?" On the deck, Joey, who was wearing a white fox fur, his little face turned red from the cold, he breathed out a burst of white air, and couldn''t help but say. "The secret power in the nearby seawater is the same, it has become cold." As a siren who has a certain amount of power over the Storm Goddess, Joey can sense the "atmosphere" or "emotion" of the sea just by being on the sea. That''s why she made such a judgment. "Is it getting cold?" Xia En calmed down for a moment and felt that Joey''s judgment was correct. Although they were accidentally teleported to the [Cold Sea] last time, they directly chose to head towards the warm south. But at this time, the temperature in this sea area was already colder than the coldest area at that time. Compared with the change of seasons. Xia En is more willing to believe that this is because some unknown changes have occurred in the Far North and even in this [Cold Sea]. Fortunately, Xia En had already prepared for the extremely cold weather. At this time, a large number of steam pipes had already been laid in the cabin of the Black Swan, behind the walls and ceiling. Just like the heaters on Earth in previous lives, it provides heating for the entire ship. However, it''s still a bit cold standing on the deck with the sea breeze blowing. In the past two days, Shane conducted a comprehensive inventory of the space rings of Richard and the others. In addition to the Vampire''s exclusive materials and secret techniques, Xia En also accidentally discovered a secret letter. A secret letter related to the Far North. (End of chapter) Chapter 330 【The wind of coldness】! The first encounter with the legend Chapter 330 [The wind of coldness]! The first encounter with the legend The sealed letter is made of red and black paper. There is a faint secret power of blood unique to the Vampire clan on it. It is not difficult to see that this is a special restriction that can only be unlocked by people who are also vampires and have a higher bloodline level. Xia En tried it and found that even his [Blood Power] couldn''t turn it on. But fortunately, he still has Fei Ya by his side. Feiya''s eyes flashed with light like burning gold, and the restriction of this secret letter was released. The secret letter recorded some information about the Far North. First of all, the severe cold weather in the Far North has become one of the important factors hindering rescue operations. Especially in the northern seas, many victims have died due to the cold. Therefore, those who master the secret path of flame ability are very popular in [Cold Sea]. Of course, there is another extreme. That is the secret pather who masters the ability of ice. As long as they can withstand the low temperature environment, they can benefit a lot from this sea area. The secret power is naturally accumulated every day, which can be called their holy land of practice. The power of the secret techniques used by Ice Mystics will also increase to a certain extent. The letter also stated that under the influence of the cold wave, the scope of the ice sheet in the Far North is gradually expanding. In the ice fields and the sea areas near the ice fields, a strange cold wind will blow. This cold wind comes and goes without a trace, without any pattern, and no one knows its cause. The ships and crew members enveloped by the cold wind will be frozen into ice sculptures in just a few seconds. Even the Mystics are no exception. There are even stories of fifth-level secret path practitioners being frozen to death by the cold wind. Wherever he went, life was cut off, everything withered, and there was only death. The first few batches of pioneers who arrived at [Leng Lie Sea] called this strange cold wind [Leng Lie Wind]. Xia En silently kept this information in mind, and then continued to look down. Due to the expansion of the ice, if a ship wants to head to the far north, it is best to need a professional icebreaker to clear the way. This was also one of the purposes of the unknown vampire writing to Richard. He hoped that Richard could bring the icebreaker and icebreaking equipment to his area as soon as possible. Seeing this, Xia En finally understood why there were a lot of ice-breaking equipment among the confiscated trophies. These Vampire warships were originally intended to deliver equipment to the Vampire army, but they were led by Richard to attack him. Even the equipment on the ship was cheaper for Xia En. It sounds a bit outrageous, but in fact, Richard''s mentality is not difficult to understand. In his opinion, it would not take much effort to deal with Xia En, who was not even at the sixth level. What does it matter if you delay the tasks assigned above for a little bit? Unfortunately, Richard never imagined that after Xia En went to [Liu Li Island], not only [Black Swan] had undergone a transformation, but his own strength had soared as a result. Not to mention, there is another Jane Vivian on the ship who is very likely to be able to rival the legendary powerhouse! This information gap caused Richard''s ambush to completely collapse, and he eventually ended up dead and shipwrecked. In addition to the above information, the letter also stated that the vampires had discovered some suspected relics of the old era [Great Yan Kingdom] on the ice sheet. Some ruins are directly exposed on the ice sheet, while other parts are frozen under the ice. Perhaps because of the extreme cold, these ruins are quite well preserved. However, there is some kind of indescribable monster wandering near the ruins, attacking any living creature that comes close to the ruins indiscriminately. These monsters usually have weird qualities and are difficult to kill with ordinary secret techniques. And the writer called them - "The undead of the old era!" Seeing this, Xia En looked thoughtful. Great Yan Kingdom old times It was only then that Xia En remembered a question that he had subconsciously ignored. How did the [Great Yan Kingdom] fall? According to the information that Xia En knows, [Great Yan Kingdom] should be one of the strongest human nations after the elves. It may even have achieved the achievement of "domesticating the mainland" for a time. Otherwise, the name of King Xin would not have spread so widely across the Seven Seas. Even Augustine regarded it as the hope of mankind and a person on whom future generations could place high hopes. Coupled with the sense of technology in [Ember Sanctuary] that was beyond the times, Xia En had reason to believe that [Great Yan Kingdom] must have had a period of heyday. So, how did such a powerful human country perish? Could it be that like other human kingdoms, they were all submerged by the flood? Xia En subconsciously thought that there must be some kind of secret in this. If King Xin had the same character as the Yan Yan he knew, and knew about the coming of the flood in advance like Augustine, he would definitely do something. Perhaps, that is the real reason for the demise of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Only by personally coming into contact with the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom, could Xia En be able to deduce a corner of the dusty history from them. Soon, Xia En saw the signature at the end of the secret letter Mueller Parsons. That was the moment Xia En saw this signature. A strange secret power suddenly emerged from this secret letter. Immediately, the entire letter quickly liquefied and concentrated, turning into a drop of red-black blood. The next moment. A cold voice came from this drop of blood. "The secret power of the blood of a strange race..." "Exceptionally ancient and extremely pure..." "It seems that you are the Fei Ya who touched the [River of Blood]." The moment this sound rang out, Xia En''s heart rang with alarm bells. Although what appeared in front of him seemed to be just a drop of blood, but even so, he felt that his life was threatened. This means that this drop of blood has the ability to kill Xia En! This aura...is a legend? Shane suddenly woke up. In this letter, Richard is the one who is ordered and instructed, which means that the writer is obviously his superior. And Richard is already a sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, so naturally the writer can only be a legendary powerhouse! After thinking about this, Xia En''s hair immediately stood up, staring at the blood in front of him as if he was facing an enemy. Don''t look at it as just a drop of blood. According to legend, the legendary strong man even has the incredible ability of "rebirth with a drop of blood." Especially the owner of this drop of blood is a legendary vampire! Therefore, although Xia En''s expression did not change, he was actually very vigilant. But at this time, the attention of this drop of legendary blood obviously did not fall on Xia En. Fei Ya''s face turned slightly pale, and he felt that a line of sight was falling on him, looking at him up and down, inside and out. For just a moment, Fei Ya had the illusion that all her secrets were exposed under this gaze. "Since this secret letter has fallen into your hands, it means that Richard is dead." The voice coming out of the blood was a hoarse male voice, reminiscent of a venomous sea snake. The legendary vampire named "Mueller Parsons" was a little surprised by the failure of Richard''s ambush, but he didn''t care too much. It was as if...those of his own race were all insignificant things to him. "If you are willing to surrender, I will forgive you for your previous actions and grant you the status of a blood prince..." Mueller paused for a moment, then sneered coldly. "Did you think I would say that?" "It would be better to say that I never felt that your existence was so important." This legendary vampire showed a completely different attitude from other vampires, and said eloquently: "In my opinion, those old antiques in the family are really out of their minds." "This will put the hope of the revival of the vampire clan on a guy like you who is not a vampire at all." "The revival of the vampire family depends on the efforts of generations, and it is also the responsibility of those younger generations with potential." "It is simply a fantasy to think of just one person to achieve this goal!" "Instead of valuing you, who doesn''t consider yourself a vampire, you might as well give me more resources and support." After hearing these words, Xia En''s expression couldn''t help but be a little subtle. This is a rare smart person among the vampires. But I''m afraid... only legendary strong men are qualified to say such things, right? "However, since you have killed so many of my kin, you are also my enemy." Mueller said in a casual tone: "Then, please die." As soon as he finished speaking, the drop of sticky blood turned into a blood needle and stabbed straight into Fei Ya''s heart. The blood needle was incredibly fast. Even Xia En couldn''t keep up with it and could only watch the blood needle fly towards Feiya. Feiya also felt the fatal crisis and couldn''t help but widen her eyes. But all his methods seemed to be vulnerable to this attack from the legend. Strong despair gradually surged into my heart. Just then. A cane moved forward slightly. bite! The end of the cane flashed with silver-grey light, and countless numbers, words, symbols and blood-colored needles collided together. Immediately, indescribable secret power clashes occurred hundreds of times at the collision point, bursting out with a heart-stopping light. Finally, Jane slowly took back her cane. But her slightly pale face also showed that this confrontation was by no means so easy. At this time, the blood needle had begun to gradually break, and the sound coming from it finally sounded surprised. "This power...is the [Truth Society]? No, it seems to be mixed with something else..." "You are lucky this time, but will you have such luck next time?" Mueller cursed sinisterly. "I will always look at you, I will find you..." "Until...either I or you die!" Click! The next moment. The blood needle was completely shattered, and the sense of crisis lingering in Xia En''s heart disappeared. "Fei Ya, Jane, are you okay?" Xia En quickly looked at the two of them nervously. Feiya shook her head: "I''m fine." He also looked at Jane aside with concern, with worry in his eyes. At this time, Jane''s expression had returned to its original state and she said, "I''m fine too." "If Mueller''s true form was here, I would most likely not be his opponent." "But if it''s just a drop of blood, I can still deal with it." At the same time, other crew members also noticed the strange changes on the deck and rushed over. Joey even witnessed what happened just now and asked in shock. "Mr. Captain, that was..." "The breath of legend?" Shane nodded: "That guy''s name is Mueller Parsons. He is a truly legendary strongman." "Hiss...a true legend." Hearing this, even the crew members, who had been surprised many times, couldn''t help but secretly speechless again. Since when, the level of enemies they faced has far exceeded the level of third-level and fourth-level enemies. Not to mention three sixth-level mysticists, there is now even a legend! ? To be honest, Xia En murmured with some lingering fear after coming back to his senses. "Is this the true strength of the legendary strongman?" "It''s really scary..." Even though Xia En has learned about the power of the legendary strongman from rumors more than once, this is the first time he has experienced it in person! Even now, there is still a little cold sweat on Xia En''s back. It can be seen that this Muller brought him a sense of oppression. Without Jane''s presence, Shane could not imagine what the situation would have turned into in the end. "I''m still too weak..." Shane sighed. Mueller''s action also sounded the alarm for him. The slight sense of pride that came from defeating three sixth-level secret pathers completely disappeared. With his current strength, it can be said that he has no opponent below the level of a legend, but when he encounters a true legend, it is like there is an insurmountable barrier between him and him. No matter how hard you try, you can''t defeat it. No wonder there is a saying circulating in the Seven Seas - If its not a legend, its just an ant! "Captain Shane, I have heard of Muller''s deeds." At this time, Jane stepped forward and said to Xia En: "Muller is determined to retaliate and is extremely vengeful. He once lurked for several years just to kill someone who insulted him." "This time, I''m afraid he will hold a grudge against Shang Feiya and may leave some kind of mark on him." Soon, this guess was confirmed. I saw a cobweb-like **** mark on Feiya''s arm, exuding an ominous meaning. After Jane''s inspection, this mark did no harm to Fei Ya herself. Its only function is to help Mueller locate Feiya. It is conceivable that if Xia En brings Fei Ya near Mueller, he will be targeted by this legendary strongman immediately. "This is going to be a bit troublesome..." Xia En frowned and asked Jane, "Ms. Jane, do you have a solution to this mark?" Jane said calmly: "Even if there are enough and advanced equipment to analyze it, it will take at least two months to crack it." "Another way is to extend the distance between this mark and its owner." "The range of perception of the legendary powerhouse is also limited. As long as the distance is far enough, Mueller will not be able to detect the location of Mr. Feiya." Hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of [Rhine Secret Realm]. Come to think of it, Mueller wouldn''t be able to find Feiya''s location across a secret sea. Before Xia En could speak, Fei Ya took the initiative. "Captain Shane, during the next period of time, I want to retreat in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." (End of chapter) Chapter 331 The cause of the great flood! The past of King Xin! Chapter 331 The cause of the great flood! The past of King Xin! "Retreat?" Xia En glanced at Fei Ya in surprise. This seems to be the first time Feiya has made such a request. "If you are worried about the threat posed by this mark, there may be other ways to solve it..." "Mueller''s imprint is indeed an important reason." "I don''t want to burden you Captain Shane." Feiya nodded calmly and continued: "But more importantly, I found a way to communicate with [River of Blood] in Richard''s relics." "I have a hunch that if I can successfully communicate with the [River of Blood], my strength will be greatly improved." "I can even remove the mark left by Mueller on my own." Hearing this, Xia En looked thoughtful. Although many of these vampire relics are contaminated with filth and curses. But this is after all the accumulation of three sixth-level blood clans over many years, and it comes from the same source as the blood power that Fei Ya masters. - It''s like athletes of the same type suddenly receive guidance and guidance from their seniors. After Feiya digests, understands, and masters them all, she will definitely benefit greatly from them. However, this process is obviously not that short-lived. This is what Feiya means by "retreat". Xia En looked at this boy who was prettier than a girl seriously for a while, and saw determination in his eyes. From this, I understood that Feiya was not acting impulsively or on a whim, but had truly made up her mind. Obviously. After facing Mueller''s attack, it was not only Xia En who was stimulated, but also Fei Ya, whose life was hanging by a thread! He was just a hair away from dying under Mueller''s attack. He didn''t even have the ability to resist at all. And that was just a drop of Mueller''s blood. After going through hell, Fei Ya''s Buddhist mentality finally changed. Although Fei Ya originally had a need for strength, more importantly, she still had a mentality of letting nature take its course. Anyway, in Captain Shane, there are not many occasions where he is required to fight. He can then study the doctrines of the Church of Steam and various steam devices with peace of mind, and become a priest and mechanic who is indifferent to the world. But now, the vampires'' repeated pursuits made Fei Ya wake up. There are always some people in this world who don''t want him to live a peaceful life. In this case, the only option is to kill! Therefore, a strong desire for power arose in Feiya''s heart. "I see." After confirming Fei Ya''s intention, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him: "I will ask Sha Jingjing to prepare a safe place for you. If you have any needs, you can explain them to the [Yongyue Clan] in time." "For the next period of time, you can practice peacefully in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "OK." Fei Ya paused and continued: "Mr. Captain, this journey to the [Far North] is bound to be very dangerous." "Please be sure to pay attention to your safety." "And, at some point, you can also rely a little more on the other crew members." Shane nodded: "I will." Soon, after sending Fei Ya away, Xia En summoned siblings Jane and Daisy to exchange and share information with each other. As members of the Federation Navy, the Daisy siblings may know some information that they do not know. Not long after, Daisy and Alessio arrived on the deck of the [Black Swan]. To be honest, this is the first time the two of them have boarded the Black Swan. After stepping onto the deck, Daisy couldn''t help but look around on the [Black Swan], with bursts of brilliance flashing in her eyes. She didn''t think there was anything wrong with it on her own ship before, but after actually boarding the Black Swan, Daisy became more aware of how unusual this ship was. The ship''s decks, walls, sails, masts... all have a sense of unity, as if they should be there. Unlike some ships, it has an obvious splicing texture. Not only that, but the materials that make up the hull also opened the eyes of both Daisy and Daisy. This seems to be a new type of composite material, and Daisy can only recognize that it seems to contain ingredients such as [rhinestone], [mithril], and [dark gold]. Normally, the properties of these materials are already very stable, and forcibly merging them together will reduce their original efficacy. But on the [Black Swan], their integration can only be described as perfect. Not only does it take into account hardness and density, but it also fully inherits the best characteristics of various materials. "Probably, it is because of this technology that [Black Swan] can show such extraordinary performance, right?" Recalling the scene where a ship called the Black Swan charged at the Vampire warships, Daisy was still a little overwhelmed. Even the look he looked at Xia En became more and more intense. Alessio, who was beside her, noticed that during the collision with the "Dark Red Baron" two days ago, several cracks appeared in the hull of the "Black Swan". But today, when I look at it, all these cracks have disappeared, as if they had never appeared. "Is this [Black Swan]... really alive?" Alessio had also heard rumors of active ships and immediately connected the two. When his footsteps landed on the [Black Swan], he was a little cautious, as if he was worried about disturbing the soul of the ship. Its hard to imagine that when we first met, Alessio still looked like a cold and beautiful man. Xia En saw the expressions and behaviors of the two people, but didn''t say much. Rather, Xia En''s willingness to invite them to the Black Swan was a sign of trust. In the "desperate situation" where they were surrounded before, Daisy and her brother were still willing to fight side by side with him. This alone was enough for Xia En to treat the two of them with a closer attitude. It didn''t take long. Shane took Daisy and Jane to the captain''s cabin and informed them of the information in the previous secret letter. After listening, Daisy touched her smooth chin and said, "This is similar to the military information we got." "However, the federal navy seems to have conducted a more detailed investigation. They also discovered..." The ice in [the Far North] is actually rising as a whole. Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Overall improvement?" "What''s the meaning?" Daisy explained: "You can understand that there seems to be an invisible force underneath the ice pushing it upward." "It is precisely for this reason that the relics of the [Great Yan Kingdom] that were originally buried in the ice will gradually come to light." After hearing this, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. "The ice is rising...could it be sea level rising?" Before coming to the [Cold Sea], Xia En had guessed what form the so-called "world-destroying flood" would take. But now, a bold conjecture emerged in his mind. Perhaps, the truth behind this world-destroying flood is that after the ice in the Far North melted, sea levels rose again, completely submerging the few islands in the world. Even if the sea level rises only one meter, it will have an impact on the ecology of the world. And if it rises by 5 or 10 meters, countless people will be displaced and their original homes will be completely submerged. However, this guess seems to be contrary to the cooling environment of the [Cold Sea]? Xia En thought to himself: "No... not necessarily..." According to the law of conservation of energy, the temperature on the surface of the [Cold Sea] is decreasing, which may mean that the heat has been transferred to other places. Moreover, the secret power of this world can do many things that go against common sense. Maybe there is some kind of force melting the ice below? Thinking of this, Xia En simply told Daisy and others his guess. "Melting glaciers... rising sea levels..." After hearing this, Daisy said: "To be honest, this possibility was also mentioned in the telegram sent by the Federal Navy today." "It''s just that no one knows yet why the ice is rising." "In the final analysis, the cause of these two major floods is still a mystery." Just then. Alessio on the side asked: "Is it related to the salary king?" "Salary King?" Not only Xia En, but Jane also frowned slightly and asked in surprise. "Why are you mentioning him suddenly?" "Oh, by the way, you don''t know yet..." Alessio explained: "Actually, the telegram also provided important information -" "The legendary King Xin seems to have reappeared in [Leng Lie Sea]!" "hiss" Jane, who had always been calm and collected, couldn''t help but take a deep breath: "How is this possible?" Alessio looked at Shane with a slightly expectant look, as if he wanted to see a look of surprise on his face. It''s a pity that Alessio is destined to be disappointed. Because Xia En knew about it from the beginning. After leaving the [Black Swan], Yan Yan''s goal was [the Far North]. And with the popularity of the name "King Xin" in the Seven Seas, it is only a matter of time before his comeback becomes known to others. However, when he heard the name from Alessio''s mouth, Shane still couldn''t help but have some complicated emotions. "Are you sure that''s the real salary king?" Jane couldn''t help but ask again: "Instead of some fake person who wants to use this name to sensationalize?" "Or is it a projection copied by some means?" Jane was obviously thinking of the "Revival Plan" of the [Truth Society], so her attitude was a bit serious. Seeing this, Daisy also solemnly said: "In the telegram, the Federal Navy has basically confirmed his identity." "It is said that there are a lot of [Black Flame Walkers] around that salary king." "They are a group of special forces who are only loyal to King Xin. Although we don''t know how they survived to this world, their existence should be able to prove King Xin''s identity." Jane murmured: "[Black Flame Walker]..." "Could it be that the former King Xin is really not dead?" Daisy and her brother understood Jane''s surprise very well. Because when the two of them learned the news, they were no less shocked than Jian Jian, and they were even more upset. In fact, this is the normal reaction of people when they hear "King Xin is still alive". Xia En''s calm attitude was not normal at all. At this time, Xia En asked Alessio: "What do you mean when you say that the world-destroying flood is related to King Xin?" Alessio hesitated for a moment and then expressed his guess. "Could it be the appearance of King Xin that caused the second world-destroying flood to come?" "After all, his ability happens to be an eternal flame. If it were him, maybe he could melt all the ice in [the Far North], right?" There was a hint of suspicion in his attitude, which made Shane frown. However, before Xia En could speak, Jane said next to him. "it''s out of the question." "There is no way King Xin would do such a thing." Alessio was puzzled: "Why?" Jane said: "You don''t know much about history, so it''s understandable that you would be so suspicious of King Xin." "But anyone who knows the past history will never have such an idea." Hearing this, even Xia En looked at Jane curiously. His trust in King Xin comes from his experience with Yan Yan. How did Jane come to this conclusion? Sure enough, Alessio asked again: "Why did Ms. Administrator say this?" Jian Yu said in astonishment: "In fact, the first world-destroying flood was stopped by King Xin." "The first world-destroying flood...stopped?" Daisy''s eyes widened in shock. This time the words were connected together, making her feel unusually strange. "Hasn''t the first great flood already arrived? It has turned the world into such an unrecognizable state." Daisy asked doubtfully: "How do you say King Xin stopped it?" Jane explained unhurriedly: "The first world-destroying flood actually did not come to our world in its complete form." "Destroy the world and destroy the world... Its true effectiveness should be far more than this." "The real world-destroying flood will probably completely destroy human civilization and submerge all the islands!" "And the reason why we still have so many islands and so many civilizational fires remaining is precisely because of the efforts of King Xin and [Great Yan Kingdom] back then." Hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but feel shocked. "You mean..." "Although King Xin failed to prevent the great flood, he greatly reduced the power of the disaster?" "Otherwise, human civilization would have been completely destroyed during the first great flood?" Jane nodded and said, "That''s right." "It was precisely to prevent the great flood that King Xin and his [Great Yan Kingdom] fell like meteors without leaving many traces on the continent." She looked at the ice sea outside the window with complicated eyes and said. "According to my speculation, the arrival of this second world-destroying flood is actually just the aftermath of the first great flood." "Aftermath..." Xia En chewed the word silently, thoughtfully. Just like an earthquake causing aftershocks again and again. The impact of that world-destroying flood that affected the whole world has not subsided to this day. Then think of those frozen glaciers and the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom under the ice. Xia En suddenly understood the meaning of Jane''s words. (End of chapter) Chapter 332 The undead of the old days! Goodbye half-dragon Nana! Chapter 332 The undead from the old era! Goodbye half-dragon Nana! perhaps [The Far North] The eternal glaciers are the product of the first great flood! This guess sounds absurd at first, but if it is connected with the history that Jane knows, the situation is completely different. Faced with the great flood sweeping the world, one of the solutions Xia En could think of was to move it to another space. The other is to contain floods to prevent them from affecting the entire world. Thinking about it now, King Xin probably chose the latter! Xia En has not forgotten the towns under the sea near [Han Iceland] that were suspected of being suddenly frozen! There must be a very close connection between the two. It can be said that the salary king of that year was successful, but not completely successful. He did weaken the power of the great flood and gave mankind some room to survive. But it failed to really prevent this disaster, and left a historical problem - In other words, this glacier will melt at some point! Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly realized. Maybe the prediction of the second great flood in the ancient document came from this. Due to his past experiences, Xia En knew that the source of the great flood was actually the alien **** [Husi Ming] from the [Secret Sea]! It is conceivable that this flood is obviously not only a natural disaster of physical nature, but also mixed with the mysterious power of external gods. It can even be called a curse against the [Seven Seas World]. Therefore, an ordinary cold wave cannot freeze it. Xia En had reason to believe that when Chu Xin Wang prevented the flood from coming, he used some kind of "sealing" method to freeze the seawater with filthy secret power into a glacier. However, the effectiveness of the "seal" will dissipate over time. After the people of the Seven Seas have lived peacefully for hundreds of years, the seal deep in the [Far North] is gradually weakening every day. It was not until today that such hidden dangers finally emerged. Glaciers began to melt and sea levels gradually rose. The owner of that ancient document may have estimated the time when the "seal" would loosen, and left the prophecy of the "second world-destroying flood". And Yan Yan''s awakening and the appearance of [Black Flame Walker] are probably not pure coincidences. As someone who personally sealed the Great Flood, Yan Yan and [Black Flame Walker] are bound to know more information. Xia En even suspected that the people who left the prophecy were the people of the Great Yan Kingdom. In order to cope with this second major flood, Xinwang most likely left behind some back-ups and designated a certain plan in the past. Otherwise, how could [Black Flame Walker] find him so accurately on the vast sea? Rather, the encounter between Xia En and Yan Yan was an unexpected surprise for them. It is estimated that neither Yan Yan nor the [Black Flame Walkers] expected that after waking up, he would be accidentally picked up by Xia En, and he would become a crew member of the [Black Swan] for a period of time. One has to lament that fate plays tricks on people. Even though there are still some doubts and uncertainties, Xia En is basically certain that this is the truth of the matter! Xia En''s thoughts that were undulating like waves gradually calmed down, and he couldn''t help but feel some respect for King Xin in his heart. At the same time, there is still a little pride - such a salary king has actually become a crew member on his own ship! Although in terms of results, King Xin did not prevent the great flood from coming. But that doesn''t mean his efforts are meaningless. Without his efforts, human civilization would have been destroyed by now! You must know that Augustine, the pirate king back then, also led a fleet to challenge [Humi Siming]. But the final result was so disappointing that even Augustine himself lost his will to fight and felt desperate. King Xin''s move was equivalent to taking the game back from [Huisi Ming]. Based on this alone, his achievements are undeniable! No wonder Jane has such a special attitude towards him. However, from those frozen towns, the only scaly claws left in history, and Yan Yan''s resistance to his own memory... It was not difficult for Xia En to guess that in order to do this, Yan Yan and [Great Yan Kingdom] probably paid a very heavy price. At the moment, there happened to be a "Walking Great Library" by his side, so Xia En simply asked Jane. "Is there any record of the reason for the demise of [Great Yan Kingdom] in history?" Jane replied: "Yes, but very little." "The only record is that [the Far North], as the source of the great flood, was the first to submerge the then powerful [Great Yan Kingdom]." "There are no other more detailed records." "This is because... people on the mainland at that time generally had serious prejudices against [the Far North] and [the Great Yan Kingdom]." Shane asked, remembering a statement he once heard. "Is it because [the Far North] was once a place of exile for sinners on the mainland?" "Yes." Jane nodded: "For this reason, people on the mainland thought that..." "[The Far North] is a land full of sin, and the blood of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] is naturally flowing with the blood of sin." "So, after learning about the demise of [Great Yan Kingdom], some people even celebrated it. There are very few people who want to find out the truth about [Great Yan Kingdom]''s demise." "What''s more, after that, the flood came quickly, and there was no time to explore the truth." Jane''s tone was slightly mocking and sad. Instead of receiving respect and gratitude, the country that saved the world was regarded as an enemy and a sin. No one even cared about its demise, leaving only a very faint trace in history. This kind of thing is really sad. Speaking of this, Jane glanced at Alessio beside her. Seeing the look in her eyes, Alessio turned red, and finally said bluntly. "I was wrong, and I apologize for my previous unfounded suspicions." "but" After hesitating for a moment, Alessio said: "People''s hearts are fickle." "Even if King Xin''s mind has not changed, his [Black Flame Walker] may have had some other ideas during this long period of time?" Hearing this, Jane raised her eyebrows, but did not refute Alessio''s speculation. "It is indeed possible, but as long as King Xin is still there, [Black Flame Walker] will not become a hindrance to our operation." From the conversation between the two, Xia En also heard a deeper meaning. After all, Alessio is still a member of the Federation Navy, and his views are likely to represent the official attitude of the Federation towards King Xin and [Black Flame Walker]. Now it seems that federal officials are still somewhat vigilant and wary. It''s normal for them to have such thoughts. No matter what, King Xin is a king from the old era and is incompatible with the modern Seven Seas Federation. Even though there are only a few followers of King Xin, if a [Great Yan Kingdom] is re-established in the [Far North], there seems to be nothing the Federation can do. In addition, King Xin is suspected of having the secret of the "Second Flood", which makes the Federation even more afraid. Jane''s stance is more in favor of King Xin. This may have something to do with the history she was reading in the big library, or her past experiences. As for Shane himself... Of course he is on Yan Yan''s side. The premise is that Yan Yan still regards himself as his captain. After exchanging information with each other. Daisy and her brother quickly said goodbye and left. In addition to the above information, Daisy also told Shane that the federation gave the personnel involved in this operation a name - Far North Expeditionary Force It is said that the main force carrying the legendary powerhouse has arrived at the core area of ??[Far North]. In comparison, the progress of Xia En and others is slow. After Daisy and the two left, Jane stopped Xia En and said seriously. "Captain Shane, there is one thing that Alessio said correctly." "In [Black Flame Walker], there are indeed some discordant voices. They have deteriorated over a long period of time and intense hatred." "Please be careful when distinguishing." Xia En murmured: "Hate...deteriorated..." He can completely understand this. In today''s Seven Seas, there is almost no trace of the [Great Yan Kingdom]. And kingdoms on the mainland such as the "Kingdom of Shuton" and the "Kingdom of Turin" have more or less left some sparks of civilization. For the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], this is equivalent to them sacrificing their own motherland and protecting other kingdoms. What makes them even more chilling is that not many people in the Seven Seas even remember the existence of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Not to mention the achievements of [Great Yan Kingdom] in saving the world. As a result, all the contributions they made, including their dead relatives and friends, seemed to be meaningless. In this case, [Black Flame Walker] may indeed do some irrational things out of hatred. So, Xia En nodded and said, "I know, I will pay careful attention." The next day. Under the speed of the [Black Swan]. In the evening of this day, an ice field composed of broken ice appeared in front of the Black Swan. This ice sheet had obviously just formed not long ago. The outer ice layer was not too thick and there were many cracks on the surface. "Captain Shane, what do we do now?" On the deck of the Breeze, Daisy asked: "If we want to get around this ice, we will probably waste at least more than a day." Xia En decisively ordered: "Go straight forward!" The ice-breaking equipment previously collected from the vampire ships came into play at this time. Xia En has already made small modifications to the [Black Swan] in the past few days. At this time, following Xia En''s driving, the [Black Swan] suddenly headed towards the ice ahead. The bow of the ship rose slightly, reaching above the ice, and then used the weight of the hull to crush the ice. The propellers installed on both sides of the ship roll in and chop the ice. Compared with driving on the sea, the progress on the ice sheet has obviously slowed down a lot. But in the face of the powerful and lasting power of the [Black Swan], it is only a matter of time before a path is opened in this ice field. Behind them, Daisy and her brother looked a little numb. However, with the [Black Swan] opening the way, they can follow safely. "Huh? Mr. Captain, that''s..." At this time, Joey suddenly noticed something and looked in a direction on the ice. I saw three ships moving slowly forward on that ice field. But unlike the clean and tidy [Qingfeng] and [Hanyu], those ships looked a bit shabby, with a kind of wild growth. Shane is no stranger to this temperament. Obviously, those are three pirate ships! Only a pirate ship can have such a rude and powerful temperament. Xia En originally wanted to stay away from these three strange pirate ships. After all, pirates are generally cruel in character, and who knows if they will attack. Even if they all bear the name of [Far North Expeditionary Force] and become nominal friendly forces, they can''t let their guard down towards the pirates. God knows if their real purpose in coming to [Lenglie Sea] is to take the opportunity to plunder? Just like the [Dark Red Baron] before, didn''t they also take action against the [Black Swan]? It is better to do less than to do more. But at this time, Xian Ge, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, was surprised. "Captain Shane, those captains seem to have the breath of dragons!" "dragon?" Shane raised his eyebrows. He noticed that Xian Ge used the word "dragon" instead of "ancient dragon." Of course there are creatures with dragon blood in the Seven Seas now. It''s just that compared with the real ancient dragons, they seem to be missing some crucial factors, so they have undergone some kind of degradation. Of course, it can''t be considered weak, but it is still a few levels behind Gu Long. Just like humans don''t regard orangutans as their own kind. Ancient dragons would not regard living dragons as their own kin. Inexplicably, Xia En remembered the half-dragon Nana he met during the promotion ritual, and became a little curious about these pirate ships with the aura of dragons. "Then go and have a look." Those three pirate ships were already in front of the [Black Swan] route. Just over ten minutes. [Black Swan] gradually approached the opponent. At this time, Xia En discovered that the three ships seemed to be temporarily docked on the ice sheet. There are also crew members walking off the deck, seemingly fighting something. Shane picked up the telescope and looked at the ice field next to the ship. I saw a strange building standing among the broken ice. It''s a bit like a palace, and a bit like a tower. But one thing is certain, its existence must be very ancient and can be traced back to those extremely distant times. And around this building, there is a strange existence that looks like an ice sculpture. Their bodies are pieced together from pieces of broken ice, barely forming a grotesque human shape. The smooth, mirror-like ice crystal face had no facial features and no expression. But it makes people instinctively feel uneasy and weird. They moved their stiff joints, spread their legs made of solid ice, and attacked the pirates one after another. "That''s...what?" Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly. What is certain is that it is no ordinary monster. Because in them, Xia En sensed a familiar, dirty secret power! Just then. A vigorous half-dragon figure broke into Xia En''s field of vision. (End of chapter) Chapter 333 Dragon Pirates! Black tide surges! Chapter 333 The Dragon Pirate Group! Black tide surges! Xia En looked familiar to this figure as vigorous as a female leopard. The dragon horns on her forehead, the scales on her body, and the thick but flexible tail behind her all proved her identity This is a half-dragon! Moreover, Xia En felt vaguely familiar from her movements. Different fighters have different fighting styles, such as the way the body exerts force and the movements of punching, there will be subtle differences. Only those with keen senses and experienced battles like Xia En can distinguish it. And in this half-dragon man, Xia En saw the shadow of an old friend. Half-dragon Nana! Xia En was still very impressed by this half-dragon he met by chance during the promotion ritual. However, in the promotion ritual, all Mysterians, including Xia En, are playing the roles in the promotion copy. Therefore, what Xia En saw at that time was not Nana''s true appearance. The figure on the ice field at this time is quite different from the half-dragon at that time. Her figure is more petite and her face is more tender. Just looking at her face, she looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with even a little baby fat on her cheeks. However, once you combine her with the solid muscles and decisive and fierce movements on her body, it is difficult to describe her as "cute". Because the appearance of the two was different, Xia En couldn''t be sure for a while. Is this girl the Nana I know? Just then. There was a "boom". I saw the half-dragon girl stepping **** the ground, immediately leaving spider web-like cracks on the ice field. Immediately, her delicate body rushed towards the nearest ice crystal monster like a cannonball, and punched out at the same time. Her punches were like thunder and lightning, and heavy as mountains, with an indescribable strange rhythm. Obviously, she has profound attainments in martial arts and combat skills. Seeing this, Xia En finally determined She is the Nana she knows! But at this time, the battle in the field is far from over. The combat power Nana displayed was much stronger than last time. She walked through the pack of wolves like a lion, crushing the monster made of ice crystals with punch after punch. The battle situation seemed to be one-sided. But in fact, it was Nana and the other pirates who were really at a disadvantage. Just because Those ice crystal monsters did not really die after being crushed! Their bodies continue to gather under the influence of some strange force, and it only takes more than ten seconds to reassemble into a new ice crystal human form. It can be said that they have the characteristics of "immortality"! Coupled with the fact that their number seemed to be increasing, Nana and the other pirates were in a difficult battle. The pirates did not want to get rid of these monsters, but their ships moved extremely slowly in the ice, and they could not escape even if they wanted to. "Damn it! What on earth is going on with these monsters?" On the ice field, Lewis, the leader of the Dragon Pirate Group, looked solemn and couldn''t help but cursed secretly. "You can''t even be beaten to death, and there are no obvious weaknesses. There are so many of them..." Ice crystal monsters will not be afraid or tired, and they can regenerate continuously. On the other hand, for the members of the pirate group, fighting in this extremely cold environment is already a big burden. Once the battle lasts longer, the balance of victory will continue to tip towards the monster. In such a short time, there were already casualties among the Dragon Pirates. This made Lewis frown deeply, and he felt a little impatient and uneasy in his heart. There are casualties when going to sea, which is a very important matter. Pirates even have a business of wearing their heads in their belts. But to die inexplicably at the hands of these ice crystal monsters of unknown origin is a bit too frustrating, right? In fact, it was just a coincidence that the dragon pirate group ran into these ice monsters. They originally just wanted to cross the ice field, but they didn''t expect to bump into ancient ruins in the ice on the way. As a result, this group of ice crystal monsters were pursued. This kind of monster seems to have great malice towards living creatures, and has no intention of communicating at all. It directly attacks when it comes up. Moreover, the weirdness of the ice crystal monster doesnt stop there. "ah!" At this time, amidst the screams, a pirate was knocked to the ground by the ice crystal monster, and soon became silent. The companions beside him couldn''t help but have sorrow in their eyes, and immediately smashed the ice crystal monster into pieces. But what surprised everyone was that after a few breaths, the pirate stood up tremblingly again. "Gawen! Gawen, are you okay?" The pirate''s friend quickly stepped forward to check on his condition. At this moment, Nana took a step forward and stopped him: "Be careful." "Something''s not right." "What''s wrong..." The pirate''s words suddenly stopped because he saw the front of the pirate named "Gavin". I saw a big hole opened in Gawen''s abdomen, and his internal organs fell out. Such serious injuries were obviously the cause of death. Under the extremely low temperature on the ice sheet, the steaming internal organs and blood had already cooled down very quickly. A layer of blood-colored ice **** appeared on the heated body surface, which looked extremely miserable. But even so, his body actually started to move! He just limped towards Nana and the others, leaving a series of **** footprints on the ice field. "What''s going on?" Seeing this scene, the pirates all looked shocked, and a chill spread across their backs. Even Gawain''s best friend during his lifetime saw the strangeness of the situation and looked at "Gawain" with fear. It was in the process of "heating" coming towards everyone. More and more ice crystals formed on his body, like living things like spores, spreading from the wound to his whole body. Eventually it covered his entire body. The expression on "Gavin''s" face also changed from the original despair and fear to an ice-like indifference. Even the shape of the facial features was gradually smoothed out by the ice crystals. The "heating" at this time is exactly the same as the ice crystal monsters surrounding it! "This kind of monster can also transform corpses into their own kind!?" Lewis''s eyes widened in astonishment, and the chill in his heart grew stronger. The ice crystal monster itself is already terrifying, and with this "infectious" quality added to it, how can we fight this battle? A touch of despair gradually emerged from Lewis''s heart. Even the captain of the pirate group is like this, let alone ordinary pirates. When they saw their former companions attacking them, the morale of the pirates instantly dropped to an extremely low level. Simply dying in battle may not be so terrible. But the thought that even if he dies, he will not be able to rest in peace, and will turn into such a weird monster wandering on the ice field, it is inevitable to feel despair. On normal days, the pirates in the pirate group would not be so negative. But for some reason, just fighting this monster seems to be constantly draining their courage. Among the crowd, Nana still maintained a strong fighting spirit and said loudly. "Don''t give up! This kind of monster must have its own weaknesses, but we haven''t found them yet." However, Nana alone was obviously unable to block the hordes of ice crystal monsters. Even because of the ice crystal monster''s special contagiousness, Nana didn''t dare to get hurt, so she seemed a little constrained. Seeing that the war situation is about to develop towards collapse. Suddenly, a melodious song came from the ice in the distance. The singing is pleasant to the ear. Everyone who hears it feels as if their souls have been washed by the waves. The negative emotions left over from the previous battle with the ice crystal monsters, along with fear, despair, timidity... all seemed to be washed away by this song. On the other hand, those ice crystal monsters actually showed different reactions during the singing. Some monsters stopped, and a bit of distortion and pain appeared on their faces made of ice crystals. Monsters like "Gawen" that have not yet been completely transformed opened their mouths and let out silent, shrill wails. When people see this scene, their first thought is - They actually hurt too? "Who is it?" Nana turned around in surprise and saw the silhouette of a majestic ship on the ice in the distance. Unlike the pirate ship, which was struggling to break through the ice and move forward slowly, this large ship was almost rolling over the ice. The thin ice seemed to be no resistance at all and was easily crushed. From a distance, the entire ship looks like a walking mountain. The majestic bow breaks through the ice in front, leaving a passable channel behind the ship. That indomitable momentum is heartbreaking. The impact of this scene was no weaker than the previous companion''s transformation into a monster. And soon, all the pirates also discovered that the strange singing was coming from the majestic ship. It seems that because of the sound of this song, the nearby sea responds in secret, and the sea water surges under the ice, as if to welcome the arrival of a certain existence. "Look! That''s..." A pirate vaguely noticed something and looked up. This caused others to do the same. Soon, people saw a small black dot appear in mid-air. Moreover, this black spot is still enlarging, as if it is approaching at an extremely fast speed. "No, that''s a person!!" The next moment. A figure fell from the sky and landed on the ice field like a meteor. He didn''t wait for everyone to see his face clearly. The man raised his right hand lightly, and the darkness like a tide suddenly expanded outward. "What kind of spell is this?" When the dark tide surged in, all the pirates changed their expressions and tried to dodge. But because the Kuroshio is so fast, no one can escape its submergence. Fortunately, the black tide did not cause any harm to their bodies and blew past them like a gust of wind. To do this, you must have the ultimate control over the secret power! "Wait a minute, this secret power... where have I seen it before?" The half-dragon Nana is also within the scope of the black tide. Moreover, unlike other pirates, she sensed a familiar smell from this secret power. "By the way, it''s in the promotion ritual!" Nana suddenly recalled that during the promotion ritual, she had personally experienced the realm of "John Smith". Although the secret powers of the two are slightly different, she can still be sure that they are the same secret power! "Could it be Captain John?" Nana''s eyes lit up as this conjecture emerged in her mind. However, it was not yet time to relax and reminisce, so Nana quickly reminded her loudly. "Captain John, these monsters cannot be killed with conventional spells! Be careful!" However, Nana''s reminder seemed unnecessary. Because, at the moment when the black tide came into contact with the ice crystal monsters, it was like countless ants had burrowed into the bodies of the monsters, and were eaten up in just a few seconds. One after another, the bodies of ice crystal monsters decomposed and collapsed in the black tide, turning into ice **** all over the ground. What surprised people even more was that these ice slags had no tendency to aggregate again, but lay quietly on the ground like ordinary crushed ice. "What''s going on?" "Can this secret technique restrain the resurrection of monsters?" "And...who is that man?" Although the pirates were relieved by the death of the ice crystal monster, they were not completely relieved. After all, the origin of this sudden ship is unknown, and the man possesses frightening power. Naturally, they would be a little frightened. Soon, the dark wave dissipated in front of everyone''s eyes, and a handsome young man walked out of it. His eyes were dark and deep, and there was a gentle smile on his lips. Just looking at his appearance might make people think he is harmless, but when you think about what he just did. Every pirate can''t help but feel a little awe in his heart. "This gentleman..." Pirate leader Lewis considered his words carefully, for fear of offending the other party. But that''s it. A fiery red figure rushed forward excitedly, smiling brightly. "Captain John, long time no see!" This move scared Lewis: "Nana, you..." Fortunately, the man smiled and said, "Nana, long time no see." "But there''s one thing I want to correct. My real name is Shane, and John is just the character I played in the promotion ritual." Hearing this, Lewis opened his eyes slightly: "Nana, do you know him?" Nana nodded as she should, "Yes." She turned to Sean and said. "Captain Shane, let me introduce to you. This is the leader of our dragon pirate group, Lewis." "By the way, he is also my brother." Shane glanced at Lewis in surprise: "Brother?" Upon closer inspection, he did have some half-dragon characteristics, but they were not as obvious as Nana''s. For example, there is no tail behind it, only a small bump on its head. After learning about the relationship between the two, Lewis obviously relaxed a lot and said. "So you are that John. After finishing the promotion ceremony, my sister often mentioned you." "I didn''t expect to see you here." Soon, he couldn''t help but asked curiously: "Captain Shane, how did you kill those monsters?" (End of chapter) Chapter 334 The soul that cannot be liberated, the power of the gods Chapter 334 The soul that cannot be freed, the power of gods "How?" Hearing this question, Xia En was a little confused. Because he just used [Great Darkness] once and crushed those ice crystal monsters. Is there anything special about this? However, Xia En also saw before that the ice crystal monsters have strong regeneration capabilities, and it is difficult to kill them with ordinary physical attacks. But why did they die so neatly under the influence of [Great Dark Sky]? Although he had some doubts in his heart, Xia En behaved calmly in front of these strangers. Gives people a sense of what it should be. Seeing this, the pirates just thought it was Xia En''s secret as a secret traveler, so they didn''t ask any more questions. at the same time. Some pirates had also recognized Xia En''s identity and whispered. "Xia En? This name sounds familiar..." "Wait a minute, isn''t this the captain of the [Black Swan]?" "Hiss... Is that the [Black Swan] that killed the [Dark Red Baron]?" Xia En couldn''t help but be a little surprised when he heard this. How long had it passed before my deeds actually reached the ears of these pirates? In fact, Xia En still underestimated the influence of his previous battle. In this era where legendary powerhouses are extremely rare, level six is ??already the ceiling for ordinary mystics. In the naval battle between Shane and Richard, at least four sixth-level powerhouses appeared, and more than ten ships participated in the battle! A naval battle of this scale, at the time when the expeditionary force was setting off, naturally attracted a lot of attention. -The captains and sailors who teleported to the [Cold Sea] with Xia En became the spreaders of rumors. "We heard about this from the captain of a warship we met by chance before." Sensing Xia En''s gaze, Lewis simply took the initiative to speak. "It is said that the legendary strongman of the Vampire Clan was furious because of the defeat in this battle. He originally wanted to arrest the [Black Swan] and Captain Shane!" This legend obviously refers to Mueller of the Vampire Clan. However, when he heard the word "wanted", Xia En''s heart did not waver, and he even wanted to laugh a little. Strictly speaking, the previous joint arrest warrants from several vampire islands are now still hanging on Xia En''s head! There are too many lice and they are not itchy. Anyway, even if there is no wanted wanted, Xia En and the vampires are already incompatible with each other. Whether he is wanted or not, it doesn''t matter. But Shane noticed that Lewis used the word "originally". Could there be any changes in this? Before he could ask, Lewis explained. "However, the Federation Navy is quite dissatisfied with the Blood Tribe''s actions and has solemnly ordered the Blood Tribe not to allow anything like this to happen again." "This has given up the idea of ??the vampire clan wanting you." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized. It turned out to be the influence of federal officials. If you think about it carefully, the Federation is calling on all forces to form a "Far North Expeditionary Force" and is willing to absorb pirates at sea at the cost of eliminating wanted orders. As a result, not long after the call was made, our own people started fighting among themselves. Isn''t this a slap in their face? Federal officials will certainly not care about small-scale frictions and disputes. But the battle between Xia En and the Blood Tribe aroused widespread discussion. The negative impact on the expeditionary force is immeasurable. This forced federal officials to intervene. Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Federation, it is obviously more stringent towards the vampires. On the one hand, it was because this naval battle was initiated by the vampires. On the other hand, federal officials actually know about the vampire''s urinary nature. If they are not restrained, similar things may happen again. While understanding the situation a little bit. [Black Swan] has gradually approached Xia En and others. Seeing the shadow cast from above, the pirates couldn''t help but let out low exclamations. After observing this large ship at close range, they could more clearly and intuitively feel the majesty and extraordinaryness of this ship. Regardless of the size, style, hull material, or the momentum of the entire ship, it far exceeded their own ships. Comparing the pirates'' [Dragon] and [Black Swan], it seems like they are behind an era! "What a nice ship!" Lewis couldn''t help but admire: "It is indeed the legendary [Black Swan]!" Shane was no stranger to the pirates'' looks. Once upon a time, he had expressed similar emotions towards the Duke and Viper, and he felt a strong sense of envy in his heart. But now, time has passed, and the Black Swan, which was small and broken in the past, has grown into the behemoth it is today. Instead, it was Shane''s turn to be envied by the other captains. Soon, An Hexiange flew down from the deck and came to Xia En. At this time, Xian Ge maintained a state of mimicry, wearing a thick winter-proof cotton coat, wrapped tightly, like a large caterpillar. Even so, the moment she appeared, the pirates of the [Dragon Pirate Group] couldn''t help but focus on her. From her body, they felt a powerful, ancient and familiar power of blood. The reason why [Dragon Pirate Group] is called this is of course not without purpose. In fact, most of the members of this pirate group have more or less dragon blood. Of course, the dragon here does not necessarily refer to the ancient dragon. Some are mostly degenerated sub-dragons, while others are the bloodline left over from the cross between ancient dragons and other creatures. During the heyday of the [Dragon Pirate Group], they even directly raised a sub-dragon! Its just that its not convenient to bring them with me on this trip to [the Far North]. From this we can also see the close connection between the [Dragon Pirate Group] and dragons. Because of this, the pirates couldn''t understand why they felt an unusually strong pressure from this girl. Even...I have the urge to worship her! If she also has dragon blood in her body, how high will the blood level be? Even Lewis trembled in his heart and looked at Xian Ge in surprise. "Captain Shane, who is she?" Feeling everyone''s gaze, Xian Ge didn''t show any stage fright, puffed up her chest and said. "I am the great Qing...ahem!" After Xia En glanced at her, Xian Ge coughed twice, but at least his true identity was not revealed. Nana looked at Xian Ge with a surprised look on her face: "It smells good, what a powerful aura, just like Captain Xia En!" "Are you Captain Shane''s daughter?" "If I mate with him, can I give birth to a child as strong as you?" Hearing this, Lewis had black lines on his head and quickly apologized to Xia En. "Captain Shane, please don''t be offended if my sister is ignorant and talks nonsense." The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer. Unexpectedly, Nana was unhappy when she heard this and said, "I''m not talking nonsense!" "I''m serious, bro, don''t you keep urging me to find a man?" "I think Captain Shane is very suitable!" "you?" At this time, Xian Ge looked Nana up and down: "As for you, at best you can be Mr. Captain''s seventh wife!" Xia En''s eyelids jumped: "Where can I get seven wives?" Xian Ge was greatly surprised: "Eh? No, let me count them carefully..." "Sister Joy, little sister Sha Jingjing..." "Stop, stop, stop." Seeing that the topic was getting more and more crooked, Xia En quickly interrupted Xian Ge and turned to look at Lewis. "Captain Lewis, how did you encounter that weird ice crystal monster before?" Lewis smiled bitterly: "Actually, it was just an accident..." Soon, Lewis roughly recounted his experience of accidentally crashing into the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom and being besieged by monsters. After listening, Xia En couldn''t help but glance at him with sympathy. I don''t know if I am lucky or unlucky to be able to hit the ruins in the ice so accurately. But...relics? Xia En turned to look at the ancient ruins whose style was completely different from modern buildings, and he felt a little curious. [Great Yan Kingdom] has too many secrets, buried in the dust of history. Why was [Great Yan Kingdom] destroyed? Why did King Xin freeze the town? Why do those ice crystal monsters carry the power of [Husi Ming]? These doubts have been lingering in Xia En''s mind for a long time, and even a knowledgeable scholar like Jane can only pry out some clues. Perhaps, in this ruins, Shane can find the answer he wants? Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes flashed and he walked towards the strange tower-shaped building. "Captain Shane, what do you think?" Lewis looked at Shane''s movements and immediately understood his intention. However, Lewis did not try to persuade him, because he knew that he could not change Xia En''s decision, so he only gave a kind reminder. "Captain Shane, please be careful." "There should be many ice crystal monsters from before in that ruins." Shane nodded and said, "I will." Since he wanted to explore the ruins, Xia En would not go in alone. Instead, he waited until Joey and Jane were in place before slowly approaching the ruins. After getting closer, Xia En discovered that the material of this building looked very smooth and hard, with a gray-black appearance. The overall style is actually somewhat similar to the [Federal Grand Library]. Simple and direct, no unnecessary patterns. Pay more attention to practicality than beauty. In fact, more than half of the entire ruins is located in the ice, and only a small part of it is exposed above the ice sheet. At this time, a hole opened in the corner of the building, like a big mouth, quietly waiting for people to fall into the trap. The previous ice crystal monster emerged from here. Shane looked back behind him. In addition to his own crew, Daisy and Nana also volunteered to join this "exploration operation." It just so happens that it will take some time for the [Black Swan] to break through the ice, so you can use this time to explore the ruins. Not long after. Xia En walked into the cave cautiously, and a cold air hit his face. The temperature inside this ruins is actually colder than outside. This is actually quite unusual. Click... click! Before Xia En could think deeply about this point, he suddenly heard a subtle movement in his ears. He didn''t hesitate and took half a step back. With a "bang", a humanoid monster made of ice crystals jumped into the air and hit the spot where Xia En was standing. The force of the impact was not small at all, leaving a shallow crater on the ground. A small part of the ice crystal monster''s head was also smashed. But in the blink of an eye, its broken head adhered and came together in a strange manner, and finally returned to its complete form. During this process, Shane noticed that the inside of the ice crystal monster''s head did not have any structure that a living creature should have. It''s like...it''s just an empty shell shaped by simulation! But for some reason, Xia En felt an indescribable activity from those broken ice crystals. It seemed that in every broken ice crystal, there was a soul wailing in pain and misery. "This is" Xia En frowned slightly. He didn''t observe carefully when he used [Great Dark Sky] to sweep away the monsters. Now, Xia En suddenly realized that these ice crystal monsters themselves seemed to be a blasphemous product that should not exist in the world. "Are ordinary physical attacks really ineffective?" "So, try magic?" Soon, Joey released a small fireball technique and hit the ice crystal monster. The ice crystals melted in an instant. However, after the fireball spell dissipated, ice crystals condensed on the ground after a while. Four or five minutes later, an identical ice crystal monster was regenerated. Seeing this scene, not only Xia En, but also Joey and Jane frowned. "Mr. Captain." Joey hesitated and said, "It gives me a very uncomfortable feeling." "I felt filth and pain from it, like... something was trapped inside it." "Your feeling is right." At this time, Jane took over Joey''s words and said, "If I read correctly, there is a human soul imprisoned in the body of this monster." "The human soul?" Hearing this, Xia En was horrified: "You mean..." Jane nodded and said: "Yes, they were probably the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] originally." "Their physical bodies have long since died, but their souls are imprisoned in this special creation, enduring despair and suffering day after day without being able to escape." "Even if they are cut into the smallest particles, they will still regenerate in this form." After learning this information, everyone present felt a creepy feeling. Thousands of years have passed since the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Thousands of years of time and endless suffering. Just imagining this kind of pain makes one''s scalp numb. Daisy asked in confusion: "Who on earth could do such a thing?" "Not a man, but a god." An answer came to Xia En''s mind. The filthy secret power of the ice crystal monster is enough to prove the initiator of this matter. Xia En quickly thought of another question: "But, since ordinary spells cannot destroy such monsters, why can [Great Dark Sky] kill them completely?" After Jane thought about it, he gave Xia En a meaningful look. "Only the power of gods can fight against gods..." (End of chapter) Chapter 335 【Ember Shelter】【Mysterious Ice Coffin】 Chapter 335 [Ember Shelter] [Mysterious Ice Coffin] "...Only the power of the gods can fight against the gods?" Shane repeated Jane''s words with a slightly strange expression. Technically speaking, he doesn''t really believe in any god. Whether it is [Lord of Radiance] or [Lord of Darkness], they are only related by chance. As for the conventional beliefs of the Seven Seas, such as [Storm Goddess] and [God of Steam and Steel], Xia En has only been exposed to them from his own crew members. so The "power of gods" in Jane''s words refers to the [Great Dark Sky] itself? But this kind of power was clearly understood by Xia En through his own efforts. How could it be related to gods? Or, what "gods" Jane refers to is... Shane shook his head and got rid of the ridiculous thoughts in his mind. Next to him, Joey heard Jane''s words and thought: "Is it the power of gods? Let me give it a try." After that, Joey softly chanted a mysterious ancient spell. At the same time, the divine temperament on her body became more and more obvious, and her fair little face had a faint holy light. "Huh? This kind of breath..." Lewis and Nana of the [Dragon Pirate Group] couldnt help but change their expressions. As pirates who ventured on the sea, of course they came into contact with the Deep Sea Church that believed in the Storm Goddess. Basically every time before going to sea, Lewis would go to the church of the Deep Sea Church to pray. It can be said that they are all potential believers of the Storm Goddess. They at least hope to return safely under the protection of the Storm Goddess. However, at this time, as the chanting continued, the expression on Joey''s face became more and more similar to the statue of the Storm Goddess. Standing in front of her, Lewis even felt like... standing in front of the Statue of the Storm Goddess! "Is she the ship''s chaplain on the Black Swan?" "By the way, her voice...that singing voice before was also her handiwork!" Lewis suddenly recalled the singing just now, and couldn''t help but be secretly frightened. The [Dragon Pirate Group] is now in decline, but there was still a period of prosperity in the past, and there were even legendary strongmen. Therefore, as the current leader of the [Dragon Pirate Group], Lewis is still a little proud. After meeting his counterpart [Black Swan], Lewis inevitably had some thoughts of comparison. However, Lewis was shocked by the little girl Xian Ge who appeared earlier. The methods and temperament displayed by Joey right now are even more extraordinary. As for the rational and wise old woman next to him wearing a black gauze skirt, Lewis couldn''t see through it at all! "There is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon on board the [Black Swan]..." Lewis sighed in his heart, glanced at his sister worriedly, and was not optimistic about her ideas. Nana is already considered extremely talented in the [Dragon Pirate Group], and her strength has improved extremely quickly. But if you go to the [Black Swan], it will probably seem ordinary. But at this time, Nana didn''t think so much at all. She just looked at the process of Joey casting the spell with a look of surprise. I saw an invisible wave surging in the air, rushing towards the ice crystal monster that had lost its ability to move. The moment it came into contact with the invisible waves, the body of the ice crystal monster suddenly stiffened. Visible to the naked eye, the polymerization speed of the broken ice crystals began to slow down. Not only that, a strange change occurred on the smooth face of the ice crystal monster. Those ice crystals changed and squirmed like flesh and blood, and finally a human face emerged. "Um?" Xia En frowned and stared at this face. It can be seen that this is an ordinary-looking adult man. His facial features made of ice crystals are twisted together, making him look extremely ferocious. Then, it opened its empty mouth and let out a silent wail. Despair and pain intertwined on its face. Just looking at this scene, everyone seemed to understand the suffering he had endured for thousands of years. "These monsters are actually transformed from the residents of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" Daisy opened her eyes wide and murmured: "This kind of torture is simply more cruel than any torture." Alessio also showed a look of intolerance in his eyes and said angrily. "Why would that person do such a thing? It''s really unforgivable!" It''s a pity that it''s not humans who do this kind of thing, but gods! Xia En buried these words silently in his heart, and at the same time observed the changes of the ice crystal monster in more detail. In his perception, as he came into contact with Joey''s divine secret power, the filthy secret power in the ice crystal monster seemed to be decreasing. Obviously, that is the manifestation of [Hui Siming]''s power being eliminated. This is probably what Jian said, "Only the power of the gods can defeat the gods." Thinking about it, if Feiya was here, she could use the steam magic blessed by the [God of Steam and Steel] to purify this filthy power. Although [Ultimate Siming] is an alien **** from the [Secret Sea], his status seems to be slightly higher than that of the local gods. But this is the [Seven Seas World] after all, and the local gods should still be able to compete with each other in terms of secret power. However, it will obviously take some time for Joey to completely eliminate the power of [Husi Ming] and kill this ice crystal monster. It was in sharp contrast to the situation where Xia En easily crushed them to death. Realizing this, Xia En once again became strongly curious about the fact that he could completely kill the ice crystal monster. suddenly. An idea popped into Shane''s mind. After all, what is the difference between the power of gods and the power of ordinary mystics? When Xia En thought about it, the difference between the two probably lies in... level! The level of the power of the gods is far higher than that of the ordinary secret power, so at the same level, the ordinary secret power cannot compete with the power of the gods. An inappropriate metaphor. If we say that ordinary secret power can break a big stone and change its physical properties. Then the secret power of the gods can directly turn a big rock into a pile of ice cubes, and directly change a thing on a smaller level. This is the difference between the two! This is why ice crystal monsters that are shattered by fists, kicks or ordinary spells will be reborn again and again. Because ordinary secret power cannot destroy the filthy divine power in the monster''s body, and only the outer body is destroyed. The fundamental reason why Xia En can kill them is obviously... [Secret Power of the Void]! In the last promotion ritual, the test that Xia En underwent was to complete the transformation of his secret power and thereby break through the [World Barrier] around him. That promotion can be said to be Xia En''s most dangerous experience. Fortunately, in the end, Xia En was successfully promoted and mastered the powerful and unique power of [Secret Power of the Void]. Able to imitate and assimilate most secret powers in the world; Faintly transcending the world of the Seven Seas; Even if you are lurking in the enemy''s body, you won''t notice... These characteristics have already proven the extraordinary power of [Secret Power of the Void]. It can even be said that [Secret Power of the Void] already has the prototype of the power of a god! Only this can compete with the filthy divine power. After thinking about this, Xia En suddenly became enlightened and many of his doubts were answered. He thought of another question - Since the level of the god''s secret power must be higher than the ordinary secret power. So, does it mean that the sublimation of secret power is also one of the prerequisites for becoming a god? Before Xia En could continue to think deeply, the ice crystal figure in front of him changed again. As the filthy secret power dissipated, the face of the ice crystal humanoid became more concrete, and some human emotions finally appeared on that face. It was as if the rationality that had been lost for many years finally returned to this body temporarily. Seeing this, Nana was surprised and said: "He seems to want to say something!" The ice-crystallized man opened his mouth. Although he didn''t make any sound, everyone could vaguely understand his words through lip reading. He is saying... [Please...kill me! Everyone couldn''t help but fell silent. For these souls imprisoned in the bodies of ice crystal monsters, the long years have long caused alienation between their minds and bodies. Even if the remaining filthy secret power is eliminated, they cannot return to normal. In other words, the souls of these people have long been integrated with the filthy secret power, and they are no longer distinguishable from each other. Only death can bring them true relief. However, with Joey''s use of the power of the storm, he cannot directly kill this ice crystal monster in a short time. So, Xia En took a step forward and gently tapped the man''s forehead. [Secret Power of the Void] easily seeped into the cracked ice crystals and quickly spread throughout the man''s body, erasing the remaining filthy secret power along with his soul. Click...click... As the ice crystals shattered, the man''s face showed a look of relief and relief. He opened his mouth again and mouthed the words. "Thanks" The next moment. The ice crystals were scattered all over the place and showed no signs of coming together again. However, instead of becoming relaxed, the atmosphere among everyone became even heavier. People are vaguely aware that the truth and blood and tears buried under this ruin may be beyond their expectations. After a while, it was Xia En who spoke first. "let''s go." Led by Xia En, the group began to walk deeper into the ruins. After taking a closer look inside the building, Xia En discovered that its structure was very different from what he had previously thought. The building does take on the shape of a tall tower, but it is an inverted spire. The area becomes narrower as you go down, and the whole area looks like a wedge embedded in the ice. This structure is actually very unreasonable. It is difficult to imagine how it would stand on the ground without ice. But with the ice layer made of solid ice, the inverted spire is firmly embedded in the ice layer. "Could it be that... when they were building this kind of spire, they thought that there would be a freezing event?" A guess suddenly popped up in Xia En''s mind and he thought to himself. "In other words, this place is actually a shelter prepared by [Great Yan Kingdom] for civilians?" "But why did the people in this shelter turn into such ice crystal monsters?" Soon, as the group moved forward, what they saw along the way also confirmed Xia En''s guess. The walls and ceiling of the lower level of the ruins are actually very similar to the materials Xia En saw in the [Ember Treasure], also known as the [Ember Shelter]. It also reveals an indescribable sense of technology. "What kind of material is this wall made of? I''m curious..." Daisy touched the silver-gray wall next to her in surprise. The touch from her fingertips was cold and hard, which seemed to contain a unique secret power. She couldn''t help but sigh. "...It doesn''t look like a product of our world." The knowledgeable Jane explained: "It is said that the salary king of that year seemed to have received an extremely rich inheritance from another [Secret Realm] with a very high level of technology." "The technological level of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] has grown rapidly, far exceeding that of other kingdoms at that time." "This special wall should be the product of that advanced technology." Hearing this, Xia En was also a little surprised. A ship with an old age is like a treasure! Secrets like this would not be so easy to know unless Xia En personally went through the books in the [Federal Library]. On second thought, it was the same. Since Jane knew the transmission ritual between [secret realms], federal officials also found the entrances to other [secret realms]. It shows that from a long time ago, the Secret Pathers began to research and explore the [Secret Realm]. It is not particularly strange that King Xin could obtain a [Secret Realm] inheritance by chance. And this can also explain why [Great Yan Kingdom] could become the most powerful country in the world at that time in just a few decades. "So that''s it." Alessio nodded, but soon his eyes were drawn to a nearby room with an open door. "This is" Xia En and others looked into the room and couldn''t help being slightly surprised. The inside of this room is a quite spacious space, with a large piece of land that looks like farmland covered by a glass cover. Those fields should have been planted with various crops, but now there was only a cold desolation. Seeing this scene, Xia En felt enlightened. Unlike [Ember Shelter], this shelter also has fields for self-sufficiency. It can be seen that this shelter is probably more complete than the [Ember Shelter]. Unfortunately, they didn''t seem to work as well as they should have in the end. What I saw and heard after that also illustrates this point. In addition to the "growing room", Xia En also saw a space used for entertainment and fitness, and a room for storing books. All this shows that the shelter was designed to survive inside for a long time. Compared with this place, the former [Ember Shelter] looked like a half-finished product that had been built in a hurry. On the way, everyone also encountered some ice crystal monsters again. But with Shane present, these monsters didn''t pose much of a threat. Xia Endu granted them merciful relief. "Do you feel like it''s getting colder around here?" At this time, Joey let out a breath of white air and asked a little strangely. "really" Daisy nodded: "And for some reason, I always feel uneasy." Not only them, Xia En also noticed that there seemed to be something dangerous deep in the spire. And soon, when they reached the last level of the inverted minaret. In front of everyone''s eyes, a smooth and hard ice coffin appeared. A beautiful woman is lying peacefully in the ice coffin... (End of chapter) Chapter 336 【Princess of Dayan】【Black Flame Walker】 Chapter 336 [Princess Dayan] [Black Flame Walker] A dark and deep underground spire. The air is filled with a chill that comes from nowhere, and the metallic silver-gray walls and floors add to the icy atmosphere. Even Xia En and the others, who had experienced many battles, could not help but look solemn and feel some inexplicable uneasiness in their hearts when they walked into the last floor of the shelter. And when everyone raised their heads, they saw... An ice coffin stands in the empty and spacious hall. And the woman who seemed to be sleeping in the ice coffin. "That''s..." Joey couldn''t help holding his breath and looked at the woman in the ice coffin. Unlike those monsters that have turned into ice crystals, this woman''s appearance is lifelike, and her skin is no different from that of a living person. It was as if...she just fell into a sweet dream and would wake up at any time. Her appearance was exquisite and flawless, and she had a certain noble and aloof bearing. Her long jet black hair lay like ink on the bottom of the coffin, and she wore a gorgeous red and black palace dress, which highlighted the elegance of the woman. When he saw the woman in the ice coffin, Xia En instantly understood where the dangerous omen he had sensed earlier came from. Not only that, most of the icy cold air that filled the inverted minaret emanated from the ice coffin. "Who is she?" Daisy said in surprise: "Why are you at the bottom of this ruins?" Unlike outsiders who were completely at a loss, Joey and Ann soon discovered something that shocked them - Although the woman in the ice coffin was a stranger, the mysterious ice coffin she was in unexpectedly gave them a feeling of dj vu. Joey murmured: "Mr. Captain, that ice coffin looks like Miss Vivian''s crystal coffin!" Shane''s eyes narrowed slightly. Of course he discovered this immediately. Moreover, Xia En also saw that the two were not only similar in appearance and style, but also similar in temperament and atmosphere. As if carved from the same mold. However, after observing carefully for a moment, Xia En discovered that the aura of this ice coffin did not seem to be as strong as Vivian''s crystal coffin. If I had to say it, it would be like... Is this ice coffin an imitation of Vivian''s crystal coffin? However, this is just a sudden conjecture by Xia En, and there is no evidence to prove it. Beside, Jane also frowned slightly. These days, she and Vivian have naturally had a lot of contact - the name "Vivian" alone is enough to arouse Jane''s strong curiosity. However, in addition to confirming that Vivian was suspected of being an elf during her lifetime, and must have some kind of close connection with the elf. Even Jane, who is knowledgeable, has difficulty getting more information. It can even be said that Vivian seems to have more secrets and clouds than she does! After visiting Vivian''s crystal coffin, Jane was keenly aware that there was a crucial secret hidden in that crystal coffin! But what exactly that secret is, Jane still doesnt know. Therefore, when she saw this ice coffin, which seemed to be a replica of a crystal coffin, Jane fell into deep thought. Honestly. The scene in front of me at this time was very strange, as if I had mistakenly entered the set of a horror movie or the BOSS room in a game. Lewis, Nana, and Daisy siblings could not help but express their strong uneasiness. Lewis had also heard tragic rumors about a captain who accidentally opened the seal of some strange existence while exploring ancient ruins, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army. So, after hesitating for a moment, Lewis reminded him. "Captain Shane, that ice coffin seems very dangerous. It''s best not to touch it, right?" Hearing this, Xia En naturally understood what Lewis was worried about. He touched his chin and was thinking about whether to take the risk and touch the ice coffin. Judging from the sense of danger she sensed, the sleeping woman''s strength was definitely extraordinary and certainly not comparable to the previous ice crystal monster. However, with Jane by his side, he is not without the ability to deal with danger. And if this girl can be awakened, perhaps she can naturally learn the secrets of the past of [Great Yan Kingdom] from her mouth. Maybe we can also learn some secrets about Vivian... The thoughts in Xia En''s heart were ups and downs, weighing the pros and cons. But after a moment, Xia En sighed and finally decided to give up on opening the ice coffin. It''s not because he''s afraid of the dangers of opening the ice coffin. But because... Xia En noticed that the ice coffin and the black-haired woman inside were in an extremely strange state. This ice coffin is both a seal and a protection, allowing her to continue to survive in this state. If it is opened forcibly rashly, it may destroy the original balance, cause irreversible damage to the woman, and even cause her to die. There was no enmity between Xia En and her, so there was no need to disturb her sleep out of curiosity. Thinking of this, Xia En said without hesitation. "Let''s go and let her continue to sleep peacefully." Although Daisy and others were a little surprised, Xia En was now the backbone of the group, and no one expressed any objection to this. However, just when everyone was preparing to evacuate this underground ruins. Three or five black shadows quietly appeared in the corner of the hall and quickly approached the ice coffin in the center. "Who!?" Xia En raised his eyebrows suddenly and looked in the direction where the black shadow appeared in surprise. From just now to now, even he has not noticed the existence of these black shadows at all. These people seemed to appear out of nowhere. This kind of hiding ability even surprised Xia En. These black figures ignored Xia En''s questions and continued to rush towards the location of the ice coffin. laugh! laugh! laugh! Suddenly, a storm of ice needles shot out from above the hall and from the floor. Following a brief cry of pain, a black shadow was shot into a sieve by ice needles and fell to the ground helplessly. At this time, Xia En and others saw clearly that these black figures were clearly people wearing black robes. There are dark red lines on those black robes, forming different patterns. And this kind of strange black robe, Xia En had seen it in the past [City of Giant Woods]! Among the people who participated in the [Congress of All Nations], there were envoys from the [Great Yan Kingdom]. This kind of black robe is one of the characteristics of that group of [Black Flame Walkers]! In other words, these black-robed men are all [Black Flame Walkers]? But why do they want to get close to the ice coffin? Do they want to rescue the woman in the ice coffin, or... kill her? For a time, many doubts flashed through Xia En''s mind. But at the moment, the enemy of this group of [Black Flame Walkers] is unclear, and their purpose is unclear. He cannot take action directly and hastily. He can just watch their actions calmly. After the death of one of his companions, the remaining [Black Flame Walker] did not pause at all, but instead accelerated its pace. The speed of one of them suddenly increased sharply, and at the same time, a ball of black flame ignited in the palm of his hand, and he shot directly towards the ice coffin. Seeing this scene, Xia En was finally sure that this group of [Black Flame Walkers] wanted to destroy the ice coffin and the woman in it! But can they do it? The moment the black flame was about to touch the ice coffin. An extremely violent cold air suddenly emerged from nowhere, freezing the man and the flame in his hand. In just an instant, a lifelike ice sculpture appeared in front of everyone. "This ice coffin is really not that simple!" Xia En thought to himself. He had guessed before that this ice coffin seemed to have no protection, but since it could exist for hundreds of years in the presence of dense ice crystal monsters, it was enough to show that it must have a certain ability to protect itself. This was one of the reasons why Shane finally chose to evacuate. At this time, Xia En and others were not injured by the ice coffin, but these [Black Flame Walkers] helped them step on the thunder. However, the remaining [Black Flame Walkers] still did not give up. The body of one of them suddenly exploded with extremely violent black flames, as if he had been ignited into a torch, and he rushed towards the ice coffin regardless of his own safety. The temperature of that black flame is quite high, and even the extremely cold air released by the ice coffin cannot extinguish it instantly. The two are temporarily in a stalemate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the last [Black Flame Walker] roared, flashed like a ghost, and came behind the ice coffin. He seemed to be holding a dark dagger in his hand, and he stabbed the woman in the ice coffin. "Hisoka! Stop!" At this moment, another sullen voice suddenly came from the direction of the entrance to the hall. Xia En turned around and saw another [Black Flame Walker] wearing red and black robes appeared there. However, judging from the figure and voice, this [Black Flame Walker] seems to be a woman. Moreover, listening to these words, she seems to have different purposes from the previous [Black Flame Walkers]? However, this has nothing to do with Xia En and others. By this time, they had become bystanders who stumbled into the incident. Doing nothing and watching the situation develop is undoubtedly the best choice. What surprised Xia En was that the words spoken by the later woman [Black Flame Walker] were not just simple words. A unique secret power spread and quickly locked onto "Hisoka" next to the ice coffin. Then, Hisoka''s body became stiff for a short time. Really very short. Not even three seconds. However, in a life-or-death situation, not to mention three seconds, even one second of delay can be fatal. The next moment, the surging cold air enveloped Hisoka''s body in an instant. His movements were forever frozen in the moment he raised the dagger. The whole person''s vitality was completely lost. Rather than freezing to death, it was more like his life was completely sucked away by that strange ice coffin. As for the person who was burning himself, he soon turned into an ice sculpture in the bone-chilling cold, motionless. After all this batch of [Black Flame Walkers] died. The temperature in the entire hall seemed to have dropped a few degrees, and the ice coffin looked a little more sinister and dangerous. At this time, Xia En and others also looked at the last [Black Flame Walker] who suddenly appeared with vigilant eyes. Being able to reach the deepest part of this minaret ruins alone has not been discovered by them before... This in itself is a symbol of strength. In the end, it was Xia En who took the lead and asked: "Are you... [Black Flame Walker]?" The other party hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That''s right." "You must be the [Far North Expeditionary Force] who came to support us, right?" "The king has told us about this, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all [Black Flame Walkers]." With that said, this [Black Flame Walker] performed an ancient etiquette to everyone. But even so, there is actually a touch of pride in [Black Flame Walker]''s attitude. Those seemed to be some traces left over from the [Great Yan Kingdom] era. Hearing the word "king" in her mouth, Joey''s beautiful eyes suddenly opened slightly and he couldn''t help but ask. "Yan Yan...oh no, your king, are you okay now?" Joey''s question made everyone''s expressions change slightly, and they couldn''t help but look at her in surprise. What kind of problem is this? It''s as if you are very familiar with that salary king? What should I do if I am considered disrespectful to King Salary and cause some trouble? But soon, what happened next was beyond the expectations of Daisy, Lewis and others. "Um?" Hearing this, [Black Flame Walker] was also stunned: "How do you know the king''s name, and with such an attitude..." Suddenly, the man seemed to have remembered something and said in great surprise. "Wait, are you?" Xia En took a step forward and said calmly: "I am the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En." "I wonder if you''ve heard of this name." "[Black Swan]...Captain Shane..." Upon hearing this, the [Black Flame Walker]''s expression changed several times under his hood. Finally, she walked up to Xia En, knelt down on one knee in front of everyone''s surprised eyes, and said respectfully. "Met Captain Shane." Xia En was also caught off guard: "What are you doing?" [Black Flame Walker] replied: "The king once said that when you see the captain of [Black Swan], you should treat him as if you have met him." As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Daisy siblings, Nana and Lewis, even Jane couldn''t help but look shocked. They never expected that Xia En actually had a close friendship with the legendary [Salary King]. The words of [Black Flame Walker] alone are enough to explain Xia En''s status in the eyes of [King Xin]! But no one could figure this out. News of [King Xin]s comeback had only recently spread across the Seven Seas. When did Xia En establish such a deep friendship with [Xinwang]? Xia En didn''t care what everyone thought, he just felt warm in his heart. These words showed that Yan Yan had not forgotten the time on the [Black Swan], which made him feel quite relieved. Since there was such a relationship, Xia En was inevitably curious about what happened just now and the mysterious ice coffin, so he asked. "What happened to those [Black Flame Walkers] earlier?" "And the woman in the ice coffin..." After hesitating for a moment, the [Black Flame Walker] responded. "Actually, the woman in the ice coffin is the princess of the [Great Yan Kingdom]..." (End of chapter) Chapter 337 【Eternal Coffin】【Rebel】【Tinder】 Chapter 337 [Eternal Coffin] [Rebel] [Fire] "Your Highness the Princess of Dayan?" Hearing this title, Xia En couldn''t help but feel strange emotions in his heart. Even if you think about it carefully. As the king of [Great Yan Kingdom], Yan Yan has ruled [Great Yan Kingdom] for so long. It would be a strange thing if he did not marry a wife. It is perfectly normal to have such an existence as a "princess" or a "queen". The main reason why Xia En felt strange was that the "King of Xin" in his impression was just "Yan Yan". That image of an innocent, kind, sunny and cheerful young man was how Xia En recognized him. Therefore, Xia En felt a little weird when she thought that he was actually much older than her and had even married a princess. Not only Xia En, but also Joey beside him had a dazed expression. "What? So Mr. Yan Yan has been married a long time ago?" "I wonder if he has given birth to a child..." Joey paused mid-sentence, because if Yan Yan had a child, the possibility of the child surviving after such a disaster would be extremely slim. Fortunately, the [Black Flame Walker] said: "The princess and the king have not given birth to any children." "Moreover, the king only married one princess, Her Royal Highness." After hearing this, Joey relaxed a little. However, after learning the identity of the woman in the coffin, Xia En became even more confused. Since she is the princess of the [Great Yan Kingdom], why do those [Black Flame Walkers] attack her, with a determined attitude of wanting to kill her? On the other hand, the purpose of this woman [Black Flame Walker] seems to be to protect the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom. They are both [Black Flame Walkers], but they have two completely different attitudes. What''s going on? Xia En simply expressed his doubts directly to the person in front of him. "Well...this..." This [Black Flame Walker] hesitated for a long time. If it were an ordinary outsider, she would definitely not reveal the truth, because this is the internal secret of [Black Flame Walker]. But since he is the captain of the [Black Swan] whom [King Xin] trusts, maybe he can... After thinking for a moment, [Black Flame Walker] made up his mind and spoke. "To be honest, there have been some discordant voices among [Black Flame Walkers] recently." "They deeply hate the current Seven Seas Federation and are dissatisfied with the king''s decision. They even secretly disobeyed the king''s orders." "During this period, this group of [Black Flame Walkers] gradually made some radical moves, and the plan against Her Royal Highness was one of them." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help frowning and glanced at Jane who was not far away. It seems that, as Jane expected, two camps with different positions appeared in [Black Flame Walkers]. One of them, even King Xin cannot fully control. This is undoubtedly very bad news. What if those [Black Flame Walkers] not only simply want to vent their anger, but also have malicious intentions towards the current Xinwang and the entire world. They will obviously become the resistance for the [Far North Expeditionary Force] to save the [King] and solve the second major flood crisis. In addition, [Black Flame Walker], as the subordinate of King Xin, is bound to know more secrets. The gap in intelligence will make the situation more difficult. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Shane asked seriously. "What are the plans for the princess specifically?" The female [Black Flame Walker] glanced at the body frozen into an ice sculpture not far away and explained: "Actually, their original purpose was not to kill Her Royal Highness, but to wake her up and kidnap her away." "They want to use this method to make the king surrender, or make some wrong judgments, or even blackmail the king." Hearing this, Joey on the side couldn''t help but feel a little angry. "How despicable! You actually use such despicable methods!" As the saying goes, no harm comes to the wife or daughter. But in the cruel reality, using all available factors is the norm among enemies with different positions. No matter how despicable and shameless you are, as long as you can achieve your goal, that''s enough. And for these [Black Flame Walkers] who have become corrupted by hatred, this is probably even more true. Therefore, no matter what method they use, Xia En will not be too surprised. He continued to ask: "Then why did their plan change from kidnapping to assassination?" The [Black Flame Walker] replied: "Actually, among these rebels, there are still some people who are not so firm in their stance and are loyal to King Xin." "So, after the rebels started moving, the king quickly learned of their plans and sent us to stop the rebels." "Actually, I am just a vanguard to stop the plan. The large forces behind should arrive soon." Shane nodded understandingly. Jane said before that even if hundreds of years have passed, King Xin still has strong control over the [Black Flame Walker]. The truly extreme rebels are obviously only a small part of the [Black Flame Walkers]. So much so that when they disobeyed King Xin''s orders, they would probably feel a strong sense of guilt and guilt. Only in this way can King Xin get the information among the rebels in time. The woman continued: "Because I am worried that the reinforcements from behind will arrive and kidnap Her Royal Highness." "The rebels were forced to change their plans and choose to destroy the ice coffin." "And there''s one more thing..." [Black Flame Walker] glanced at Lewis and Nana next to him and said with a strange expression. "Actually, you entered this ruins by mistake and became the trigger for this assassination." "Originally, the rebels should have been preparing for a while, but after seeing you discover this ruins, they had to take action in advance." "That''s why I followed them and infiltrated into the ruins." The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly: "That''s it." He had previously found it strange that even without the final secret technique of the [Black Flame Walker], the rebels'' approach to the ice coffin was extremely difficult, resulting in heavy casualties. The co-authorship was an act of his own group, which forced them to take action in advance. But thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little strange. His perception is already very sharp, and coupled with the joint scanning of Jane and Joey, if there is any living creature sneaking nearby, it should be impossible to hide it from them. How did this group of [Black Flame Walkers] sneak into the lowest level of this ruins right under their noses? After hearing Xia En''s question, the woman explained calmly. "The reason is...the [Black Flame Robe] we are wearing." The woman took off her hood, revealing a beautiful face. Although she was in such a cold environment, her complexion was quite rosy and her body temperature remained above normal. The black robe she wore was actually very thin, and compared to Joey''s snow-white fox fur, it was even thinner and a little shabby. Xia En originally thought that the reason why the other party was able to wear such a black robe and move on the cold ice field was because of his special physique. But now it seems that the black robe is the key! The next moment. The woman put her hood back on. Something that surprised everyone happened immediately. Although she was still standing there, in her perception, the presence of this [Black Flame Walker] completely disappeared, and his aura seemed to be completely dissolved in the air. If the naked eye hadn''t been able to pinpoint her outline, Xia En would have suspected that she suddenly disappeared! Immediately, a woman''s voice came from under the hood. "This is our [Black Flame Walker] exclusive equipment. It is a robe made by the king with the help of some special technology and materials." "It can not only eliminate its own sense of existence, but also resist severe cold weather. Its own defense is quite strong." "In the heyday of [Great Yan Kingdom], there were only a thousand pieces of [Black Flame Robes]." "The reason why [Black Flame Walker] is rumored to be elusive and everywhere is also inseparable from it." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but glance at several corpses near the ice coffin. Although most of them were frozen into ice sculptures, their [Black Flame Robes] were still intact for the time being. With this kind of robe, it will undoubtedly work wonders in the special environment of [the Far North]! Looking at his eyes, the woman said weakly. "Captain Xia En, according to regulations, after discovering the [Black Flame Robe], we must recover it and hand it over..." Xia En waved his hand: "It''s okay, it''s just a few clothes. Could your king be so stingy?" "I''m more curious than this...how do you plan to deal with this princess?" The woman straightened her expression: "According to the original plan, if the rebels do not kidnap Her Royal Highness, we will wake her up." "However, the key items needed to awaken Her Royal Highness are still in the hands of others." "Now we just have to wait for them to arrive." Xia En looked at the black-haired woman in the ice coffin: "Would you like to wake her up..." Originally, Xia En didn''t want to meddle in other people''s business and just wanted to leave this weird ruins as soon as possible, but since this black-haired woman was Yan Yan''s princess, he would naturally be responsible to the end. "How long will it take for the reinforcements you mentioned to arrive?" The woman said confidently: "It''s almost time. After receiving my signal, we should be able to arrive in less than half an hour." An hour later. The hall in the deepest part of the ruins is still cold. Due to the extremely low temperature here, Xia En has asked Joey and others to return to the Black Swan to keep warm. The entire hall seemed even more deserted because of its emptiness. The face of the [Black Flame Walker] named "Irina" no longer looked confident as before, but instead showed wavering and confusion. "Strange...why haven''t you come yet?" Xia En was very patient: "Wait a little longer, maybe there is an accident on the road?" "Accident...yes! Accident!" Hearing this, Irina suddenly realized something, couldn''t help but change her face, and murmured to herself. "The number of rebels is definitely not limited to this few." "But they haven''t appeared yet... bad! The rebels must have gone to attack the reinforcements!" That''s when. From the upper floor of the inverted minaret, Nana hurriedly ran down. "Captain Shane, a [Black Flame Walker] who calls himself Sergei came to the [Black Swan] and said he wanted to request assistance." "Sergey, is he okay?" When Irina heard the name, she quickly asked with concern. Nana shook her head: "He was seriously injured and covered in blood. He seemed to have fought his way out of the enemy''s encirclement." "Is there anyone else with him?" "He''s the only one." Irina''s expression suddenly became ugly: "How could..." Soon, Shane took Irina to the ice field and met Sergey next to the [Black Swan]. The man in the black robe was obviously seriously injured. Blood seeped out of the black robe, leaving a scarlet footprint on the white ice field. After seeing Irina, Sergey''s dim eyes lit up slightly and he murmured. "Irina... As long as you''re okay..." Irina''s eyes were slightly red: "Where are the troops with you? Where are Paul and the others?" "Cough...cough!" Sergey coughed up a mouthful of black-red blood, leaving shocking red spots on the ice sheet. He said with great difficulty: "We were ambushed by the rebels. Paul died on the spot, and the rest of his companions died and escaped." "I was lucky enough to escape." Irina pursed her lips: "What on earth is going on?" "Why are our whereabouts exposed?" Sergey hesitated and said, "I suspect... there is a traitor among us!" "Someone has gone to the rebel side!" Irina''s beautiful eyes opened slightly, showing shock and resentment, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it!" "If I know who the traitor is, I will definitely let him..." Sergey continued: "Compared with this matter, the most important thing is that the [fire] used to awaken Her Royal Highness was taken away by them." "It is very likely that the rebels will go to the sanctuary where the princess is again and use [fire] to wake her up." "We must transport the second [Fire] as soon as possible and protect Her Royal Highness during this period." With that said, Sergey looked at Xia En, who was not far away. "You should be the captain of the [Black Swan], Shane, right?" "I implore you to help us!" Xia En did not agree directly, but asked: "[Fire]...what exactly is it?" Irina explained: "Actually, [Fire] is...a vessel that carries the king''s flame!" "The king''s flame contains a special frequency and waveband, which can unlock the seal of the [Eternal Coffin] and allow Her Royal Highness to wake up." "...King Xin''s flame?" "Frequency? Band?" "[Eternal Coffin]..." Although he was quite interested in these new terms that appeared in Irina''s mouth, Xia En also knew that now was not the time to delve deeper. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "If it is the flame of [Xinwang], I might be able to simulate it." "What?" Irina''s first reaction was disbelief, and she earnestly persuaded: "Captain Shane, I know you have good intentions." "But the king''s flame is definitely different from ordinary flames, and has even gone beyond the scope of ordinary fire." "If the seal cannot be broken, it will cause harm to you." Xia En knew that words could not convince Irina, so he simply walked directly to the depths of the ruins. Whether it works or not, you will know once you try it! (End of chapter) Chapter 338 Princess Dayan An Bing, wake up! Chapter 338 Princess DayanDark Bing, wake up! "Captain Shane? Captain Shane!" Seeing Xia En''s actions, Irina was quite panicked and quickly followed him. "Ahem..." Sergey, who was leaning on the edge of the boat, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, his face also changed, and he said to Joey and others. "Quickly stop your captain!" "Otherwise, by the time he is frozen by the [Eternal Coffin], everything will be too late!" Hearing this, Lewis and his crew not far away couldn''t help but look worried. But what surprised them was that the expressions of Joey and others, who had the closest relationship with Xia En, did not change much, let alone showed any tension or worry. Lewis couldn''t help but ask: "Aren''t you going to persuade Captain Shane?" "That [Eternal Coffin] sounds very dangerous. If something happens to him..." Joey glanced at him strangely: "Since Mr. Captain decided to do this, he must have enough confidence?" "If he says it can be done, it can be done." "In that case, what''s there to worry about?" Sergey on the side felt it was extremely ridiculous and said: "The seal on the [Eternal Coffin] was set by King Xin himself." "Why do you think your captain can imitate the king''s [fire]?" Joey said as a matter of course: "Because he is Captain Shane!" "This reason is enough." Then she couldn''t help but murmured in a low voice: "Besides, King Xin''s flame... isn''t a very rare thing, right?" At least Joey himself has seen Yanyan''s flames dozens of times. Previously, when he was in the "Cold Sea", Yanyan would actively release flames to keep everyone on the ship warm. To her, this was certainly nothing unusual. The half-dragon Nana also said after thinking: "If it is an ordinary person, it will definitely not be possible to do such a thing." "But if it''s Captain Shane, maybe... is it really possible?" The Daisy siblings on the side nodded silently, agreeing in their hearts. After all, they have been shocked by what Xia En has done so many times, and their psychological threshold has been raised very high. Its not like Captain Shane has never done anything more shocking than this. "You... you..." This time, it was Sergey''s turn to be stunned. He didn''t expect that Joey and others would have such almost blind trust in Xia En. This kind of trust is simply like...the trust they [Black Flame Walkers] have in King Xin. After thinking for a moment, Joey cast a simple healing spell on Sergey and said. "Since you are so worried, I will take you down to have a look together." Nana raised her hands and said, "I want to go too! I want to go too!" Daisy and Alessio looked at each other and could see the curiosity in each other''s eyes. Obviously, they are also curious about whether Xia En can unlock the seal of the "Eternal Coffin". It didn''t take long. The group of people came to the bottom of the "Inverted Minaret" again. At this time, Xia En walked towards the [Eternal Coffin] step by step under Irina''s uneasy gaze. She murmured in a low voice: "Captain Shane...will it really be okay?" Joey said firmly: "Believe him, he will reawaken your Royal Highness the Princess." Xia En felt the gazes of everyone behind him, but his heart was as calm as still water. He knew exactly what he was going to do. As the distance to the [Eternal Coffin] got closer and closer, Xia En could clearly feel that the temperature nearby was continuously decreasing. The biting chill clung to his back like a cold poisonous snake, seeping into his skin from every pore, as if it was going to penetrate deep into his bones. Not only that, Xia En also noticed that there was a sense of resistance in this chill. It seems to be warning the visitor not to go any further. But Xia En ignored this warning and continued to stride forward. Of course, Xia En is not a stupid young man who doesn''t care about anything. While moving forward, he was also trying to use the [Secret Power of the Void] to simulate the flames of the flames to achieve the so-called [fire] effect. The characteristic of [Void Secret Power] that can be transformed into thousands of secret powers is the key to Xia En''s courage to try to awaken Princess Dayan. However, after trying it for a while, Xia En discovered that this matter was not as simple as he expected. Like Joey, Shane has been exposed to the flames many times. So his first impression was that there was nothing unusual about this kind of flame. But when he actually started to use [Secret Power of the Void] to simulate the flames of the flames, Xia En immediately noticed - Just as Irina said, the flames of Yanyan are definitely not ordinary fires! It can burn forever, and it can also burn the soul and [Filthy Secret Power] together... How could such a flame be really ordinary? Xia En has reason to suspect that the secret power hidden in the Yan Yan Flame is most likely the same as the [Secret Power of the Void] and [Power of the Gods], which are existences that are superior to ordinary secret powers in terms of levels! However, this does not mean that the [Secret Power of the Void] cannot be transformed into flaming flames, it is just that the process is slightly more difficult. at the same time. The [Eternal Coffin] in the center of the hall seemed to be aware of the arrival of such an uninvited guest. Gradually, a chill is gathering momentum near the [Eternal Coffin]. It seems that this ice coffin noticed that Xia En was unusual, so it did not use ice needles, ice thorns or other means to test it. Instead, I was going to give him a big shot! The icy chill condensed into a freezing wind, bringing with it a substantial pallor. Just looking at it makes people feel chilly and gives them a bad premonition. And the people watching also sensed a sense of desolation from this pale cold wind. It''s as if... this cold wind can wipe out all life. Lewis on the side suddenly changed his expression: "This, this is [Wind of Loneliness]!" Hearing this, Daisy couldn''t help but frown: "The rumored extremely dangerous [Wind of Coldness]?" "It is said that a sixth-level secret path practitioner has died from the destruction of the [Cold Wind]..." "But how could [Lengjie Wind] be related to this ice coffin?" Thinking of this, Daisy cast a worried look at Shane. It was one thing to have faith in Captain Shane, quite another to fear for his safety. Irina, who was wearing a black robe, pursed her lips and stared intently at Xia En in the field, her nails almost digging into her flesh without even realizing it. She was not optimistic about Xia En''s actions from the beginning, so she held opposing opinions from beginning to end. Regarding Xia En''s current insistence, Irina was angry and helpless, but also worried and nervous. "Forget it, since Captain Xia En is someone the king values ????he, then he can always escape unscathed, right?" "As long as he suffers a little bit, he will probably give up." Just like Joey and other crew members have an obsessive admiration for Shane, Irina also has extremely firm confidence in King Xin. Therefore, even now, Irina does not believe that Xia En can unlock the seal of the [Eternal Coffin]. I just hope that Xia En can retreat as soon as possible to avoid irreparable injuries. But at this time, Xia En''s pace will not stop because of other people''s thoughts. The invisible armor composed of [Great Dark Sky] isolates the surrounding cold. However, Xia En could also detect the threat brought by the [Cold Wind], and there was a faint tingling feeling in his gut. Obviously, if he takes this [Leng Jie Wind] firmly, even he will suffer serious injuries. This situation undoubtedly made Xia En feel a little more urgent. Due to the effect of [Captain''s Majesty], Xia En and Yan Yan had already established some kind of indescribable connection. Now, what Xia En has to do is to use this connection to simulate the secret power of fire that belongs exclusively to Yan Yan! laugh! Suddenly, a ball of orange-red flame suddenly ignited in Xia En''s palm. The shape, color, and breath of this flame are very similar to the flames of Yanyan at that time. "Um?" Irina and Sergey opened their eyes slightly and looked at this scene with some surprise. But after observing carefully for a moment, Irina looked disappointed and sighed. "It''s a pity that it''s just superficial. There is still a big gap between it and the king''s flame." Sergei came to a similar conclusion, but he also saw something else. "Being able to imitate the king''s flames to this extent shows that Captain Xia En indeed has a deep friendship with the king..." Soon, Sergey''s expression changed and he looked at the ice coffin in the center. "No! This flame will irritate the [Eternal Coffin]. Captain Shane is in danger!" Just like Sergey said. The moment flames appeared in Xia En''s palm, [Eternal Coffin] seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and the cold secret power began to escape slightly violently. The pale mist lingered around the ice coffin, raising the danger of the ready-to-attack [Wind of Coldness] to another level. Something to say. This is like a punishment for entering the wrong password. At this time, even Xia En''s hair stood up slightly, showing the oppressive feeling brought by this [cold wind]. Among the people present, I am afraid that only Jane is certain to accept this [Wind of Coldness and Silence]. After realizing this, everyone''s expressions changed. "Is this the true power of [Wind of Cold Silence]? It''s really extraordinary..." Lewis was frightened and murmured: "Now, Captain Shane is in danger." Daisy and Alessio were also a little shaken, worried about Shane''s safety. Jane''s fingers slightly rubbed the cane in her hand, hesitating whether to take action. After all, she had only become a crew member of the Black Swan not long ago, and her understanding and trust of Xia En was limited. But soon, Jane saw Joey''s expression and silently gave up her plan to take action. Although Joey was also secretly frightened by the power of the [Cold Wind], her pretty face was still filled with confidence in Xia En. Jane''s idea is that since she is already a crew member of the Black Swan, she might as well give Captain Shane a little more trust - just like these old crew members. at the same time. Xia En was focused on adjusting the flames in his palms. Visible to the naked eye, this flame began to get closer and closer to Yanyan''s flame. But it seems that some crucial factor is always missing. Or rather, soul? As a result, Xia En was unable to truly create the [Fire] for unblocking. Moreover, such behavior seemed to anger the [Eternal Coffin] in the center of the hall. Thinking about it, Xia En, an outsider, even if he entered the wrong password, he actually entered the wrong password again and again. Isn''t this a provocation? So, the next moment! The pale cold wind that had been building up for a long time was no longer patient and roared directly towards Xia En. Click...click... This cold wind was so cold that a solid sheet of ice crystals quickly condensed on the floor of the hall. In the eyes of everyone, it looked like a pale beast, opening its big mouth to swallow Xia En in front of him. And once that happens, even Xia En will turn into an ice sculpture like the [Black Flame Walker] before! The flame in Xia En''s palm was more like a match that could go out at any time in front of this pale beast, unable to withstand the surging cold. But at the moment when the pale cold wind was about to wrap around Xia En''s body. He also finally captured the missing part of the flame. He raised his right hand. On the back of his right hand, there was a brand that lit up with a dark red fire. [Certificate of the Salary King! In this brand, the power belonging to King Xin is engraved. Xia En understood that the past sacrifices and pains, those past events that he did not want to look back on, and that painful history were also part of the flame of [Xinwang]. Without it, this flame cannot be complete. After understanding this. The flame in Xia En''s palm changed again. From the outside, there was no change in the fire''s light, but in the deepest part of the flame, a very unique light shone. With the injection of this dim light, the texture of the entire flame suddenly changed drastically. Like waking up from a deep sleep. It was as if he had his own soul and suddenly came to life. It still looks very weak, but in terms of breath, it is on par with the pale cold wind, and is no worse than the lower wind. In fact, in front of it, the [Wind of Coldness], which was ferocious and violent just a second ago, stopped in an instant. [The Cold Wind] seemed to show awe, and spread out quietly like that. "This...this is!?" Irina and Sergey''s eyes widened suddenly, and they were shocked beyond words when they saw the flames in Xia En''s hands and the cold mist that receded on its own. Its unmistakable, its the Kings Flame! And Captain Shane actually controlled that kind of flame? laugh- Immediately afterwards, under everyone''s surprised eyes, the unusually cold breath began to continuously enter the ice coffin. The air in the entire hall had a warm spring-like feeling. After all the cold air was absorbed by the ice coffin, the lid of the [Eternal Coffin] slowly opened on its own. The hazy ice fog gradually dissipated, as if the last layer of mysterious veil had been unveiled. The beautiful black-haired woman opened her eyes and raised her body from the ice coffin. The whole movement looked extremely graceful. She looked calmly at Xia En in front of her, and spoke in a noble and cold voice. "My name is An Bing." "Why...why did you wake me up?" (End of chapter) Chapter 339 [Eternal Coffin (imitation)] [Memory Miasma] Chapter 339 [Eternal Coffin (Imitation)] [Memory Miasma] Looking at Princess Dayan getting up from the ice coffin, Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly. In addition to the indescribable noble and transcendent temperament, Xia En also sensed a faint sense of oppression and threat from her. This shows that the Great Yan Princess named "Dark Ice" may have considerable strength in her own right. The rank is at least sixth level, maybe even higher! Shane wasn''t surprised. Becoming the only princess of the [Great Yan Kingdom] is obviously not something that a vase can do. However, there was one thing that puzzled Xia En. It should have been some time since Yan Yan returned to [Far North]. Why didn''t she decide to wake her up until the rebels in [Black Flame Walker] took action against An Bing? Is there any hidden secret in this? After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Xia En spoke calmly. "It was King Xin who ordered you to be awakened." "...Salary King?" Hearing this title, An Bing frowned: "It seems that you are not a citizen of [Great Yan Kingdom]..." "Where is Yan Yan? Let him come to see me!" When saying this, An Bing gritted his teeth, with strong resentment in his tone. "For doing that to me and my family...does he think I will forgive him?" "Um?" Xia En''s expression was a little strange, and he smelled blood in these words. Although it seemed a bit unfair, to be honest, he was still very interested in the love-hate relationship between Yan Yan and Princess Dayan. All I had to do was hold a piece of melon and eat it next to me. But at this time, the abnormal coldness of the [Eternal Coffin] dissipated. Irina and the injured Sergey also quickly came to Xia En and An Bing. As soon as they saw An Bing, the two of them immediately knelt down on one knee and said with great respect: "[Black Flame Walker] Irina (Sergei), I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" "[Black Flame Walker]...I haven''t heard this word for a long time." An Bing''s peripheral vision was quickly attracted to Joey, Daisy and others. The different new clothes, the curious and appreciative eyes, and the less than respectful demeanor... all indicate that - They are not the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], but outsiders of this country! Moreover, why are there only two [Black Flame Walkers]? What happened during her years of sleep? Thinking of these questions, An Bing couldn''t help but feel a little panicked. A strange environment, a strange era, strange people...these factors combined brought quite a shock to the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom. An Bing murmured and asked: "Irina, how long...how long have I been sleeping?" Irina hesitated for a moment, then replied: "It should have been at least a thousand years." "millennium" An Bing''s expression finally changed and he asked in a slightly trembling voice. "So, how is [Great Yan Country] doing?" Irina''s eyes were slightly red and she replied: "Your Highness, [Great Yan Kingdom] has died." "The only ones left are us, the remnants of the old era." An Bing murmured in disbelief: "[Great Yan Kingdom]...is dead?" "No...impossible!" After hearing the bad news, An Bing suddenly became excited. "Yan Yan, did he lie to me? He clearly said that as long as the plan is implemented smoothly..." Her words stopped abruptly. Because at this time, waves of dizziness appeared in An Bing''s mind, and he fell to the ground and lost consciousness. "Your Highness the Princess!!" Amid the exclamations, Irina quickly stepped forward to support her. After confirming that An Bing''s breathing was still stable, Irina breathed a sigh of relief. "Her Royal Highness seems to have fainted, but... what is going on?" "Captain Shane, please help me." Jane stood up and said, "Let me see her situation." She tapped her cane lightly on An Bing''s body, and azure blue light rippled out of the water and spread to An Bing''s whole body. Soon, after a moment of inspection, Jane gave an authoritative answer. "Don''t worry, her life is not in danger, but she has been sleeping for too long and is very weak." "This, coupled with the sudden emotional agitation, resulted in a temporary coma." "It should wake up on its own in two days." Hearing this, Irina was relieved. If Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was finally rescued, could not sleep like this, how could she have the face to see her king? She looked at Xia En in wonder and gratitude. "I didn''t expect that Captain Xia En could really wake up Her Royal Highness." "I apologize for my previous ignorance and thank you for your help." Xia En waved his hand: "It''s just a little effort." Irina bit her lip and said, "Actually, I have one more request..." Seeing her troubled expression, Xia En simply said: "Are you escorting the princess to King Xin?" "Yes...yes." Irina said: "Now we only have two people. The princess is unconscious and Sergey is seriously injured." "Moreover, we are not sure whether the reinforcements arriving now are enemies or friends..." Their traces were discovered before, apparently because there was a traitor in the team. This shows that not only they [Black Flame Walkers] who are loyal to King Xin have infiltrated into the rebels, but the rebels are also lurking in their camp. Therefore, Irina did not dare to rashly send back the information about how to save the princess. What if the person who received the information happened to be a spy in [Black Flame Walker]? Wouldn''t everything be over? But right now, the only person Irina and I can rely on is Xia En. "I understand, leave it to me." Xia En''s answer was calm and firm, but it contained a strong confidence. For Yan Yan''s sake, it was only natural to help a group of [Black Flame Walkers] and Princess Dayan. The wife of one of my own crew members was bullied. How could I, the captain, just sit back and watch? Therefore, from the beginning, Xia En was ready to send An Bing to Yan Yan. In the process, you can also learn some of the history of [Dayan Kingdom] from her. Upon hearing Xia En''s promise, both Irina and Sergey couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. If it had been before, they might have thought that Xia En was telling lies. But after witnessing with their own eyes the process of Xia En creating [Fire] from scratch, both of their ideas changed. Captain Shane is indeed qualified to say that! Even as soon as his promise was spoken, the two of them felt a sense of security, and their hearts seemed to settle down. Irina secretly thought in her heart: "Perhaps this is why Captain Xia En can make the king treat him differently?" Xia En continued: "However, I still have some questions to ask you about [Great Yan Kingdom]..." It didn''t take long. Irina, An Bing, and the mysterious [Eternal Coffin] were all moved onto the [Black Swan]. Of course, Xia En did not let go of the [Black Flame Robes] on the rebels. Regarding the mysterious ice coffin, Xia En first observed it on his own. He discovered that the ice that condensed into this coffin was surprisingly similar to the ice on the frozen towns when he was diving in the [Cold Sea]. However, the ice that makes up the ice coffin is stronger and more solid, as if it has been compressed dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, by some external force. At the same time, Shane also tried to use the panel to uncover its secrets. [Eternal Coffin (imitation)] [Quality: Legend] [Type: Relic] [Description: A carefully manufactured imitation that contains some of the characteristics of the real "Eternal Coffin". [Sleeping in it, supplemented by special rituals and secret powers, can cause the body and soul to fall into a long sleep and remain incorruptible for thousands of years. There is no real eternity in the world. "hiss" There wasn''t much description on the panel, but it made Xia En take a slight breath. This [Eternal Coffin] that Princess Dayan has been sleeping in for thousands of years is actually just an imitation? And just an imitation is of [Legendary] quality! What level will the genuine [Eternal Coffin] reach? To be honest, the first thing that came to Xia En''s mind was Vivian''s crystal coffin. After all, it is quite similar in temperament to this mysterious ice coffin, and it was discovered from the [Ember Sanctuary]. There must be some connection between the two. However, after Xia En opened the crystal coffin again and looked it up and down under Vivian''s surprised eyes, he still found nothing special. The panel also didn''t give any prompts. It''s like, it''s just an ordinary coffin. Xia En touched his chin and guessed in his mind. "Could it be said that this crystal coffin is an imitation of the [Eternal Coffin]?" At this time, Vivian on the side intervened weakly. "Captain Shane, what are you doing?" "Although it''s a bit strange to say this,... ghosts also have privacy!" "You''ve seen all my body!" Shane: "..." He glanced at the white skeleton in the crystal coffin. During the rummaging just now, Xia En had indeed seen all the skeleton. Resisting the urge to complain, Xia En coughed twice and changed the subject. "Vivian, have you ever heard of...[Eternal Coffin]?" "[Eternal Coffin]?" Vivian blinked: "What is that?" "Is my coffin spacious and comfortable?" Shane twitched the corner of his mouth and decided not to ask Vivian these questions. What are you arguing with a salted fish ghost? And every time I talk about these topics with Vivian, I always feel like my painting style will be distorted. Afterwards, Xia En left Vivian''s cabin and asked Irina and Sergey some questions about [Black Flame Walker] and [Great Flame Kingdom]. First and foremost, Shane''s biggest concern is... "How did you [Black Flame Walkers] survive the first great flood and survive until now?" Hearing this question, Irina was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "You really saw it." That''s right, from the first time he saw Irina and these [Black Flame Walkers], Xia En could tell They are not the descendants of the [Black Flame Walkers] that have been reproduced from generation to generation, but the batch of [Black Flame Walkers] from the peak period of the [Great Yan Kingdom]! What Xia En doesn''t even know is... Back then at the [Conference of Nations] in [City of Giant Woods], he had a chance encounter with Irina and Sergey! In other words, in terms of actual age, each of them is at least a thousand years old! However, it is obvious. Irina and other [Black Flame Walkers] are not immortals with long life spans. So how did they spend this long time? Facing Xia En''s question, Irina explained: "Actually, we [Black Flame Walkers], like Her Royal Highness, have been dormant in a special life-support device for thousands of years." "When we wake up, what we will see is this frozen [Ultra North]." "Special life support device?" Xia En raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of the life-support device he had seen in the [Ember Shelter]. From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the so-called "sleep cabin." Shane remembered that the life-support device in the shelter was empty at that time, which meant that the people inside might have left long ago. "It turns out that [Great Yan Country]''s technological level has developed to this point..." Shane was a little surprised. At least on Earth in the previous life, technology like hibernating cabins was far from mature. And in [Great Yan Country], this technology has been widely used? However, in this case, why did Princess Dayan deliberately sleep in the imitation [Eternal Coffin]? Soon, Irina answered Xia En''s doubts. "Actually, our life support device also has some problems." "Many of my companions died accidentally when they woke up, or died due to device malfunction." After hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized. It is obvious that although the "sleep chamber" technology of [Dayan Kingdom] is widely used, there is still a high mortality rate. That''s why An Bing used the imitation [Eternal Coffin] to sleep. But there are also some things that don''t make sense. If this technology is not yet mature, why is Yan Yan so anxious to put it into use? It''s almost like... being forced to use such a backup plan. Naturally, Shane asked Irina about their experiences before their long sleep. The results obtained surprised Xia En. "You mean..." "Your memories before your long sleep are extremely blurry. Can''t you remember what happened?" "Yes" Irina said apologetically: "It''s not just me, all the [Black Flame Walkers] can''t remember clearly the memory of the period before sleeping." "I just remember that something so tragic and painful happened that just thinking about it makes me feel a stabbing pain in my mind." Hearing these words, Jane on the side couldn''t help but frowned and said. "This symptom...is a bit like [memory miasma]." "What''s that?" Shane couldn''t help but ask. Jane explained: After some people experience extremely painful events, their brains will automatically block those memories out of self-protection, resulting in [memory miasma]. "However, there is another possibility." "That is a certain mystical person or **** who has used some kind of secret technique to hide all the memories that have been left in people''s minds for a certain period of time." (End of chapter) Chapter 340 【Young Salary King】【Self-Execution】 Chapter 340 [Young Salary King] [Self-Execution] "Hide...memory?" Xia En silently chewed the information revealed in Jane''s words, and couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart. Mass memory loss In his previous life, he probably wouldn''t have believed that such a thing happened. But after wandering around the Seven Seas for so long and coming into contact with gods such as [Husi Ming], Xia En understood that to them, this kind of thing was not unthinkable. However, what puzzled Xia En was If it is true as Jane guessed, the memory of [Black Flame Walker] was artificially erased and hidden. Then what is the purpose of the other party doing this? What happened during that time? Later, Shane carefully asked Irina about her memories before they fell asleep. According to Irina, she only remembered that King Xin seemed to have foreseen the coming disaster in advance, so he ordered them to make a lot of preparations for a certain plan. Preparations include but are not limited to collecting strange materials and supplies, building shelters, transporting certain key people or things... For this reason, [Great Yan Kingdom] spent a lot of manpower and material resources. It can be said that the whole country has been mobilized. But at that time, even the [Black Flame Walker] who personally implemented this plan did not know why King Xin did this. That is to say, such a thing can only happen in the [Great Yan Kingdom] where King Xin has almost absolute power. In some countries where the king''s control is weaker, this might directly cause turmoil. When he heard about collecting seeds and biological embryos, Xia En immediately understood that part of the [Black Flame Walkers] preparations were probably for the "Ember Plan!" That is, to create an [Ember Shelter] (Ember Treasure) and leave the spark of civilization for future generations. From a current perspective. The disaster King Xin faced at that time was naturally the first world-destroying flood. Moreover, the salary king at that time was not without foresight. He not only predicted the coming disaster, but also made various preparations. [Project Ember] is just one of them. However, from the scale claw in Irina''s mouth, Xia En couldn''t tell what the salary king''s other plans were. I can only vaguely guess that it is closely related to the freezing of towns and the formation of glaciers in the [Far North]. After listening to Irina''s answers, Shane touched his chin. "You mean... your memories of when you carried out the plan for King Xin are still clear." "The only vague thing is the memory before and after the disaster?" Irina thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That''s almost it." "In fact, I actually have no memory of the great flood coming at all." "I just remember that I was on a mission and suddenly passed out. When I woke up, it was already a thousand years later." "[Great Yan Country] has also become what it is now..." Hearing this, Xia En asked curiously: "What was the [Great Yan Kingdom] like in the past?" Irina said: "Although the [Far North] in the beginning was a bitter cold place compared to the southern continent, it was not as cold as it is now." "Moreover, after King Xin developed a special large-scale heating equipment, the climate in [Dayan Country] became much warmer." "Only winter is extremely cold, and the other seasons are almost the same as the southern continent." Shane''s expression was a little strange. How large of a heating equipment does this have to be able to change the climate of the entire [Far North]? So Yan Yan, you are still an inventor? ! But if you think about it carefully, with Yan Yan''s own secret power of fire, plus the technological heritage obtained from that unknown secret realm. It is not too strange that [Great Yan Kingdom] has the ability to change the climate. It seemed that Xia En still didn''t believe it. After hesitating for a moment, Irina took out a pocket watch from her clothes and handed it to him very carefully. Irina cherishes this pocket watch very much, as if she is treating a rare treasure. But Xia En could tell at a glance that the material of this pocket watch was quite ordinary, and even looked a bit decayed due to the passage of time. "This is" Looking at Xia En''s puzzled eyes, Irina explained. "Inside, there is a photo of the past [Great Yan Kingdom]." "After you see it, you should understand, but please... be gentle with it." Naturally, Xia En would not be too rough with things that others valued, and soon he opened the pocket watch gently. On the inside and back of the pocket watch, there is a photo that is not too big. In the photo, there is a group photo of Irina and several [Black Flame Walkers]. The background looked like a small forest, the sun was shining brightly, and the ground beneath everyone''s feet was even a grassy meadow. The whole picture gives people a warm intention, like walking under the spring sunshine. Xia En was a little surprised: "Is this the former [Great Yan Kingdom]?" And soon, his eyes fell on one of them, and his eyes widened slightly. Behind Irina and others, there is an extraordinarily tall figure. He has a handsome appearance, sharp eyes, a back as straight as a sword, and a confident and firm temperament. Just looking at him makes people feel extremely reliable. The smile at the corner of this man''s mouth added a touch of publicity and high-spiritedness, like the sun at eight or nine o''clock in the morning. Full of vigor, with the youthful spirit of scolding Fang Qiu. If not Yan Yan, who is it? Xia En looked at Yan Yan in the photo and couldn''t help but feel a little complicated. The man in this photo is actually quite different from the Yan Yan he knew. The Yan Yan he knew was a sunny, cheerful, innocent and kind-hearted big boy with no scheming or fuss, so he could get along well with every crew member on the Black Swan. As for the man in the photo, the title "Salary King" obviously suits him better. From his body, Xia En can even see a so-called "kingly temperament." That is the temperament that truly takes charge of a country and has the confidence to lead the country to greatness. Moreover, even the current salary king may not be able to regain the temperament shown in the photo. Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. The current salary king has experienced so many things, and his mentality is completely different from that of his younger self. "When he saw that we were going to take a photo, Wang actually asked to take a photo with us, and that''s how this photo appeared." Irina said with nostalgia. "I have carried this photo with me ever since, to this day." "It''s just... not many of the other people in the photo are still alive." By this time, Xia En also understood why Irina attached so much importance to this pocket watch. For her, this photo holds precious and important memories. Those emotions that have lasted for thousands of years can only be recalled in this photo. At this time, Joey on the side raised his little head. Looking at this group photo, she sighed softly. "Is this Yan Yan when he was young? What a big difference from now!" "However, I always feel that he is a bit similar to Captain Shane?" "Huh?" Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Where does it look like?" Joey paused for a moment: "Hmm...actually, I don''t understand it very well. I feel like they are just similar in temperament!" Irina next to me echoed: "Actually, I think so too..." In their opinion, although Xia En is a little immature compared to Xin Wang in the photo, he still has the temperament to naturally become the backbone of everyone. Even in Joey''s eyes, Xia En''s reliability is no worse than the salary king! "Really?" Xia En could not comment and did not continue on this topic. After returning the pocket watch and photo to Irina, Shane quickly ended the inquiry. Although the useful information obtained was not too much, it at least gave Xia En a better understanding of the former Yan Yan and [Great Yan Kingdom]. After walking out of the room, Jane on the side finally couldn''t help but ask. "Captain Shane, there is actually something I have wanted to ask for a long time." "What exactly is your relationship with King Xin?" This question has been hidden in Jane''s mind for a long time. Even her calm and calm personality couldn''t bear it, which shows how curious she is about this. Forget it if it''s just Xia En. The key is that even Joey, Tracy and others show familiarity with Wang Xin, which is particularly strange. "Actually, this incident was an accident." Xia En had no intention of hiding it from Jane, so he quickly told the story: "The story starts from the last time we unexpectedly came to [Lenglie Sea]..." After listening to the process of Xia En and others getting acquainted with Yan Yan, Jane suddenly realized. "So that''s it." She said with emotion: "This is really a wonderful fate." Who in the right mind would have thought that a big boy he picked up casually would be the legendary Salary King? I''m afraid the scripts of those dramas would not dare to act like this. In this way, it is understandable that Xia En and other crew members have an unusual attitude towards King Xin. However, Jane suddenly thought of something strange: "Captain Xia En, you said that when you met King Xin, his whole body was ignited by his own flames." "Continuously being burned and constantly being regenerated, right?" Xia En nodded and said, "That''s right." Jane frowned slightly and said, "This is a little strange..." "According to records in several history books, King Xin was a child born from a volcano and was born with the power to control fire." "In other words, the flame is his partner." "How could the flames continue to burn his body for thousands of years?" Hearing this, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. He had thought about this problem before, but he didn''t think about it deeply. After being reminded by Jane, Xia En suddenly realized this anomaly. Suddenly, an inexplicable idea came to Xia En''s mind. "Perhaps...this is Yan Yan''s punishment for himself?" Although there were not many times, Xia En had also seen a look of pain and self-blame on Yan Yan''s face. Especially when he recalls the past, that emotion will become more obvious. Ordinary flames cannot harm Yan Yan. Only his own flames can cause harm to himself. Perhaps burning himself was not the result of Yan Yan''s subjective control, but it was most likely his subconscious mind. He believes that certain sins on his body cannot be washed away, and he can only torture and torture himself in this way day after day. The one who truly cannot forgive King Xin is none other than himself! Only then will there be self-combustion that lasts for thousands of years. That pain was his own punishment. Although this was just Xia En''s guess, he felt that he had inadvertently touched the truth. And the key is What did King Xin do that he still can''t forgive himself for? The answer to this question is probably only known to King Xin himself. Just then. Tracey''s exclamation came from the deck. "Mr. Captain, something happened!" Shane immediately walked out of the cabin quickly and asked Tracy, "What happened?" "Look there!" Tracey quickly pointed to the ice in the distance. Xia En turned around and saw a large ship on the ice field. It''s just different from the three ships of the [Dragon Pirate Group] that were rescued earlier. Most of the ship was stuck in the ice, as if it had rolled over in some way. Not only that, there was a thick layer of frost on the surface of the entire ship, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. "What''s going on?" Xia En thought for a moment and decided to take the flying An Xiange to have a closer look. And when they came to the sky above the ship. Shane immediately understood the situation of the ship. On the deck of this ship, you can clearly see a large number of traces of battles and blood stains that have long since dried and frozen. And one corpse after another that was frozen stiff. Apparently, there had been a fierce battle on this ship. The final result was that all the crew members on the ship were killed in battle, and the entire ship was abandoned here, gradually integrating with the ice sheet. At this time, with the arrival of Xia En and the others, a "dong dong" crashing sound was quickly heard from near the cabin and hull. Soon, a group of monsters similar to but different from the previous ice crystal monsters emerged from around the abandoned ship. roar! roar- These monsters have thick white hair on their bodies and look like ugly snow monsters. They looked up at the Xia En trio above them and kept making terrifying roars, their eyes full of malice towards the living. "Another kind of monster..." Xia En frowned slightly. From these snow monsters, he also felt the power of [Huisi Ming]. However, compared to the previous ice crystal monsters, the [Filthy Secret Power] of the snow monsters seems to be weaker, making these monsters still retain many characteristics of living creatures. "Then let me grant you liberation." Shane descended slowly and began to give the snow monsters a merciful death. Compared to ice crystal monsters, snow monsters do not have such powerful immortality, but their physical fitness is far superior to the former. However, in front of Xia En, there was not much difference between the two. Wait until all the dust settles. Shane collected the bodies on the ship, simply buried them on the ice sheet, and erected a monument for them. Although he has never met these people and does not know their identities, since they are here to prevent disaster and save the world, it is worthwhile for Xia En to do this for them. (End of chapter) Chapter 341 Archbishop Musa in white! Goodbye Mr. He Chapter 341 Archbishop in WhiteMusa! Goodbye Mr. Heller! Not long after. Lewis, Nana, the Daisy siblings and others also came to the battle-damaged ship. Looking at the miserable condition of the ship, everyone fell into silence. It is conceivable that there are by no means the only victims like this. If they had not encountered the [Black Swan] by chance before, all the members of the [Dragon Pirate Group] would have died here. In this dangerous [Far North], even Xia En didn''t dare to say that he would be safe. Not to mention, the other ships in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are slightly weaker. After a moment of silence, Nana looked at the empty tombstone and asked. "Aren''t you going to leave something on this monument?" Xia En thought about it and thought it made sense. Although he had never met this group of people and did not know their identities, there should always be something left to prove that these people had been here. So, Xia En carved on the tablet - [Graves of members of the Far North Expeditionary Force] Then, Shane turned around and said. "Let''s go. In order to prevent their sacrifices from being in vain, we must prevent the second great flood from coming." Everyone nodded heavily: "Yes!" Soon, another two days passed. At this time, Princess Dayan An Bing was still in a coma and had not yet awakened. An Bing''s coma lasted a little longer than Xia En expected, but according to Jane''s examination, her vital signs were very stable and there was no concern for her life. According to Jane''s speculation, the reason why she hasn''t woken up yet is more like "unwillingness" than "can''t"! After learning such a cruel truth. In An Bing''s subconscious, he may be resisting waking up, which is why he hasn''t been able to wake up. And even Jane has no good solution to this. The human soul and consciousness are the most mysterious and sophisticated areas. To awaken her in a special way rashly may cause some irreparable damage. But thinking about it, when he comes to King Xin, there must be a way to wake him up. Although Xia En was a little disappointed because he could not get information about the past [Great Yan Kingdom] from An Bing. But compared to intelligence and information, the safety of brothers and women is obviously more important. In addition, along the way, Xia En encountered several abandoned warships and several battlefields that had experienced **** battles. They either hit the ice and were unable to move forward. Or, like the previous ship, it was surrounded by terrifying monsters on the ice field, and after a fierce battle, the crew was wiped out. Among these ships, Shane even saw the presence of the federal navy! Obviously, as the main force of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], the federal navy has begun a tug-of-war with the monsters on the ice sheet. Xia En and the crew all felt that the cold wind blowing around seemed to carry an aura of chilling and blood. In some distant places, the roar of artillery could be heard from time to time. The appearance of these abandoned warships and changes also made Xia En and others realize This is a war! The enemy of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is not a specific country or force. It''s the harsh environment of [the Far North] and the undead from the old era wandering on the ice sheet. It can also be said. This is a war between humans and the old gods who have left their mark on the land. The only good news to say. That probably means that in the past few days, Xia En and the others have not been pursued by the rebels from the [Black Flame Walker] at all. That''s Xia En''s guess. This is probably because even the rebels did not expect that they could actually awaken Dark Ice when the [Fire] was taken away. This led to the rebels misjudgment and being unable to locate the location of Xia En and others. One step is slow, each step is slow! It is already very difficult for the rebels to catch up with the [Black Swan] now. And just this morning. While the [Black Swan] broke through the ice and opened up a channel on the ice sheet. Shane was patrolling the deck of the Black Swan as usual. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a scene on the ice field not far away. I saw white dots suddenly appearing one after another on the vast expanse of ice. They seem to emerge from the cracks in the ice sheet, one after another, and the number is staggering. It quickly went from a white dot to a white line. If you look at it from above, you might find ugly patches like vitiligo appearing on the ice sheet. At the same time, there were bursts of roaring sounds coming from a distance. Such a change immediately attracted the attention of the crew on the Black Swan and other ships. "What is that?" "It looks so weird!" "It always feels like the snow monster I encountered before..." The sailors on the frigate immediately started talking. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Xian Ge''s eyesight was far better than that of ordinary humans, and he could see the true appearance of those strange white spots more clearly. At first glance. They are indeed somewhat similar to the hairy snow monsters that Shane and others encountered. Their surfaces are covered with a layer of what looks like white hair. However, the monster that appeared this time had no human form at all. They are like strange tentacles made of white hair, constantly emerging from under the ice and rushing crazily in a certain direction. It''s like spider threads that have been magnified several times, encompassing most of the ice sheet into this huge spider web. "hiss" After seeing Bai Dian''s true appearance, Xian Ge couldn''t help but take a deep breath and get goosebumps all over his body. "What is that? It looks disgusting!" Yes, disgusting. This is what that tentacle-like white-haired presence feels like. It''s as if their existence itself is a kind of blasphemy against life! In other words, they are products created to destroy life. "Another [dirty creature]..." Xia En frowned slightly, his expression solemn. [Filthy Creatures] It was his name for this kind of strange existence that was contaminated with [Filthy Secret Power] and existed between the living and the undead. The previous [Filthy Sea Heir], ice crystal monsters, snow monsters, and even the current white-haired tentacles can all be classified into the category of this kind of creature. It''s a general term that Xia En came up with. It''s just that it''s different from the other [filthy creatures] I''ve come into contact with. The white tentacles on the ice sheet in the distance gave Xia En a feeling of extreme danger. A single tentacle is certainly not scary. But what if... those tentacles are a whole, and they are just part of the body of a being under the ice? If that were the case, how big would that existence be? Thinking of this, even Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart. At this time, Jane also walked out of the cabin and came to Xia En. "That''s..." Looking at the white tentacles on the ice field, Jane also looked solemn. "Captain Shane, they seem to be converging in one direction!" "Um?" Upon hearing this, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. After observing carefully for a moment, he found that Jane''s judgment was very correct. Those white tentacles were visibly gathering towards the north, as if something was calling them in that direction. "Wait, North?" Xia En frowned suddenly. The northernmost part of [Far North] is not the headquarters of [Far North Expeditionary Force], and the location where the legendary flood came. The more critical question is - Is it only this special white tentacle that is doing this, or are all the [filthy creatures] converging towards the northernmost part of the world? If it''s the former, that''s fine, but if it''s the latter... Just imagining the scene of countless different types of "filthy creatures" coming, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a chill. That kind of weird [Filthy Secret Power] can only be restrained by a secret power of the same level. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for ordinary secret travelers! This is similar to the beast tide in the [Rhine Secret Realm], but it is not of the same magnitude and level at all. Suddenly this time. Jane''s expression changed, she looked at the center of the wave of tentacles, and reminded her loudly. "Captain Shane, a very strong unknown aura appears!" "Oh no...more than one!" Shane followed her gaze. I saw a blazing bright light erupting out of thin air above the ice sheet. Immediately, an old man wearing a white priest''s robe with gold patterns walked out of the light. He was tall and thin, with sparse white hair, and had a peaceful dignity about him. Xia En is no stranger to this old man. He had seen each other more than once in the [Land of Glory]. The white-clothed archbishop of Hui ReligionMusa! At this time, after taking a step forward, Musa''s eyes lightly scanned the tentacles under him and sighed. "What a filthy and filthy sight..." "Let the glow purify all of this." But, right now. There was a slight cough beside him. "Ahem, old man, your light is too bright and smelly, it hurts my eyes." "Hurry up and collect your taste." If anyone heard this title, their eyes would pop out of their heads in shock. This is the white-clothed archbishop of the Hui Sect. Who is so bold as to call him "old man"? This unconcerned tone was enough to show that instead of respecting Musa at all, he actually stood in a somewhat antagonistic position. Musa was not angry at this person''s rude attitude, but just turned his head to look at him. "To be honest, the fishy smell of the deep sea on your body really bothers me a bit." "Next time you appear in front of me, can you take a shower in advance?" "People from [Youshu Sect] don''t even have this kind of etiquette, right?" Standing in Musa''s shining shadow was a tall, lanky man with a gentlemanly air. He has messy black hair like seaweed, a strange black tattoo that looks like some kind of mollusk carved on his cheek, and he wears an old dress. When Xia En, who was far away, saw him, he couldn''t help but look shocked. Isn''t this "Mr. Heller" who we met several times in the [Insanity Islands]? After observing carefully for a moment, Xia En discovered that he seemed to be quite different from Mr. Heller in his impression. First of all, it was the aura on his body. Although the former Mr. Heller also gave Shane an unfathomable feeling at that time. But Xia En can also be sure that at that time, he definitely did not reach the level of legend. Thinking about it, if the Federation Navy knew that there was a legend sitting in the [Insanity Islands], they would definitely not treat it with that ordinary attitude. But now this "Mr. Heller" gave Xia En a vague feeling that he could be equal to Musa. In other words, he is at least a legendary powerhouse! Not even an ordinary legend. Secondly, it is his temperament and clothing. The Heller in the Luansi Islands is more calm and gloomy, like an abyss with no bottom at a glance. At this time, "Mr. Heller" seemed a bit careless and frivolous. Of course, that might just be a facade he put on. And his dress seems to have changed from light gray to black now... No matter what, Xia En''s mood was surprised and a little complicated when he saw these two acquaintances in [Lengliehai]. After all, the aura on his body caused the two of them to have some kind of "misunderstanding", and they mistakenly thought that he was a "holy son" or something like that in their own sect. If it were exposed, wouldn''t the situation be embarrassing? At the same time, Xia En was a little curious. Why do these two people appear here together? They represent [Hui Sect] and [Netherworld Sect] respectively. They can''t come to this ice field to quarrel, right? At this time, the conversation between Moussa and Heller continued. Heller continued what Musa had said. "For some guys who are putting on airs, I feel like there''s some etiquette that''s completely unnecessary." Moussa sneered: "Who are you talking about, the pretentious guy?" "Obviously they are just a group of lunatics following a certain giant beast in the deep sea, but they still have the nerve to call them ''Master'' and ''Holy''?" Heller responded without showing any signs of weakness: "Is a certain sect that believes in glory any better?" "Maybe the guy who doesn''t have faith is an evil **** who wants to destroy the entire world!" "you!" A flash of anger flashed in Musa''s eyes. But just when he was about to continue speaking. Below, the white tentacles seemed to finally be unable to bear the situation of being ignored by the two people, and began to stir wildly. Click...click... The ice continued to break, and white-haired tentacles tore through the ice, soared into the sky, and swept towards Musa and the two. If you look closely, you will find that under those white hairs, there are human faces dripping with blood. Every face has burnt marks, and is filled with extreme pain and hatred. Vaguely, they were still murmuring and cursing. However, neither Musa nor Heller showed any change in their expressions regarding this horrific scene. Musa glanced at the tentacles lightly, and a pale golden light lit up from his eyes. laugh- Two beams of light burst out from his eyes, sweeping through the white tentacles like lasers. Any tentacles that came into contact with the light turned into **** steam in less than half a second. Heller also just waved his hand. Countless black tentacles, darker than the white tentacles, emerged from the shadows, entangled and biting each other with the white tentacles. Black and white colors continue to blend together, and black gradually takes over... (End of chapter) Chapter 342 legendary battle Chapter 342 The Legendary Battle As Moussa and Heller took action together. Most of the tentacles of chaos that were like violent winds and waves were wiped out in an instant. The entire ice sheet suddenly disappeared in just a few seconds. For ordinary people, a situation that is extremely dangerous and insurmountable even if they try their best, in the eyes of these two people, it is like taking a walk in their own back garden. At this time, not only the crew members of the [Black Swan], [Breeze], [Hanyu] and [Dragon Pirate Group] naturally noticed the battle that took place on the ice. When they saw the two people strolling in the air, everyone couldn''t help but look shocked. "Who is that?" "So...so strong!" "Is this pressure coming from a legendary powerhouse?" Thinking of this, people''s eyes became more intense, staring intently at Musa and the two. After all, many of them had never seen a seventh-level legendary mystic before. And now, being able to see the legend''s action up close and personal naturally makes them extremely excited and excited. Soon, everyone also discovered that in the process of solving the white tentacles, the two legendary strong men seemed to be communicating with each other. Someone speculated: "They must be discussing how to deal with this monster, right?" Someone else said: "Maybe we are discussing the causes of these monsters!" However, in fact, Heller and Moussa were just bickering. "Oh, is this the strength of [Apostle Netherworld]?" Musa chuckled and said, "Is it already so difficult to deal with such a filthy thing?" Compared to the way Musa melted the tentacles with light, the dark tentacles summoned by Mr. Heller did not seem to be much stronger than the tentacles with white hair. It presents a somewhat stalemate situation. This will lead to Musa''s sarcasm. Hearing this, Heller just curled his lips and said, "Mr. Bishop, it seems that you are so blind that you didn''t even see what I was really doing." "No wonder Hui Church suffered heavy casualties during the war with the [Truth Society]." After hearing this, Musa''s attitude calmed down and he said calmly. "You are right. In the early days of the declaration of war with the [Truth Society], it was indeed because of my personal contempt and misjudgment that Huijiao suffered unnecessary casualties." "This is a responsibility I cannot shirk, so after this incident is over, I will resign as archbishop and go to a small island to be a teacher." Hearing this, Heller, who had just said something thorny, couldn''t help but fell silent for a moment. Sincerity is the sure winner. He originally wanted to use this to attack Musa''s mentality, but he didn''t expect Musa to admit his mistake frankly and say such things. You know, even ordinary people are often reluctant to admit their mistakes immediately when someone points them out. For those with higher status, they may become angry. Instead of solving the problem, solve the person who asked the problem. As the archbishop of the Hui Sect, Musa was able to be so frank in front of Heller, who disliked him. If you think about it, Heller himself couldn''t do this. Even if it was a performance, it was enough to make him respect him a bit. "Old man, it seems that I underestimated you before." Heller said: "You indeed live up to the name of Archbishop." "However, if you want to retire peacefully, you must first come back alive from the [Far North]." Musa smiled lightly: "Then I won''t bother you to worry." Click! Click click At this moment, the ice below the two men suddenly shook violently, and large spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ice. It is different from the previous situation where many tentacles emerged from the ice. The vibration at this time seemed to come from the deepest part of the ice, as if it was going to tear the entire ice sheet into pieces. At this time, Musa was also keenly aware of something and looked at the ice beneath him. The turbid eyes seemed to be able to see through the broken ice and see a certain existence in the deepest part. "I see." Musa said calmly: "Is this the real dirt that needs to be purified?" at the same time. "Something...is coming out!" "What a terrible smell..." Amidst the exclamations of the spectators on the distant boat, the entire ice sheet continued to bulge upwards, and finally... it collapsed! An indescribably huge thing burst into everyone''s sight from the depths of the ice sea. It was an existence covered with white hair and shaped like a flesh ball. Those white hairs are more like some kind of decayed and entangled mold threads than normal hairs. Just looking at them gives people a feeling of filth. Under the white hair, there is dark pale flesh and countless curling and squirming tentacles. These terrifying limbs stretching for tens of kilometers, together surrounded a half-open and half-closed eye, as if it had just woken up! It also has an indescribable ancient aura about it. It''s like... It has been sleeping under this ice layer for thousands of years, and only reawakened due to some kind of mutation! Just as Shane and Jane had guessed before, the tentacles that drilled out of the ice surface were just part of this huge existence. The moment he saw those eyes, even Xia En couldn''t help but his heart stopped for a beat, and a strong warning signal came from his intuition. There was a solemn expression on his face as he stared at this monster that seemed like it should not appear in reality. This monster brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to Xia En. He could sense that there was still a certain life-level gap between himself and the other person. Similarly, there is such a gap between him and Musa and Heller not far away. It''s just that the two people didn''t fully release their aura, but this monster showed malice and hostility to everyone indiscriminately. Therefore, the impact it brings is stronger. "Is this the legendary realm..." Xia En had some enlightenment in his heart. Although he had met Augustine and Yan Yan, the former was "weakened" by the [Promotion Ritual], while the latter lost his memory and lacked some vital strength. Although Jane has the means to compete with the Legend, she does not seem to have truly reached the seventh level. In other words, today is also the first time that Xia En faces the legend! Moreover, three legendary levels of existence appeared at one time. Xia En had a hunch that after witnessing this legendary battle with his own eyes, he would have a deeper understanding of the Mystic Path and the secret power. Maybe it can help him break through the sixth level barrier as soon as possible. And such a battle would definitely be beneficial to the other crew members. So, Xia En reminded aloud: "Watch carefully and remember their battle in your mind, especially the operation and flow of the secret power." "This will help your future promotions!" Joey and others immediately responded: "Yes, Captain!" In front of this monster, even Xia En felt a little palpitated, not to mention the crew members on other ships. A commotion immediately broke out on several ships. "Then, what is that?" "How can it be so huge? This is too big!" "If we had been on that piece of ice just now, we would have been crushed by it, right?" People were both panicked and a little lucky. Most people looked at the two people in the air worriedly and nervously: "Such a big monster...will they win?" Although people have also seen that Heller is a legendary powerhouse, in terms of size and momentum, this monster with tentacles obviously has the upper hand. On the [Qingfeng], a crew member made a suggestion to Daisy: "Captain Daisy, why don''t you stay away from this ice field now?" "If those two legends lose, it will be too late to leave." Daisy actually had the same idea, but she turned her head and glanced at the [Black Swan] and found Shane standing on the deck, looking seriously at the battlefield in the distance. Daisy keenly read Shane''s attitude towards the First World War. He seems to think...those two legends will definitely win? Daisy was a little surprised. Where did Captain Shane get such confidence? Compared with this monster, the two men were like ants in front of an elephant, looking extremely small. Suddenly, a guess came into Daisy''s mind. Could it be that...Captain Shane actually knows these two legendary powerhouses, right? "hiss" Daisy took a slight breath. Although this guess sounds a bit outrageous, if it is Captain Shane, it is normal. Moreover, this also explains Xia En''s previous performance and his calm confidence at this time. No matter what, it was impossible for Daisy to abandon the Black Swan and leave. She decided to trust Shane''s judgment again and silently looked at the battlefield... "What a big guy." Musa''s expression did not change at all. He glanced at the one-eyed flesh ball calmly and then turned his attention back to Heller. "Are you coming, or am I coming?" After the conversation just now, most of the tense atmosphere between the two people has dissipated. Heller no longer blamed Musa, but said directly. "Leave it to me." Just then. This filthy monster also launched a brutal attack on the two of them. Tentacles all over the sky danced wildly, sweeping towards the two of them. In addition, the huge eye also opened slightly, and an extremely dangerous wave of secret power was escaping from it. Almost at the moment when his giant eyes widened, Xia En narrowed his eyes and pushed his perception to the limit. At this moment, he saw a different method of operating the secret power of the Mystic under the legend. It''s hard to describe this feeling. It''s not like this monster has secret power poured into its gaze, but its gaze itself is a kind of secret power! For ordinary mystics, the secret power is something that resides somewhere in the body and needs to be invoked before it can be used. As for the legendary beings, it seems that they have completed a deeper integration with the secret power? Xia En silently remembered these insights in his heart and continued to watch the situation on the field. In an instant. A gray-white shimmer appeared in the air, approaching Heller straight away. This secret power carries a strong connotation of filth, and seems to be able to assimilate everything into the same existence as itself. It is not difficult to guess that the strange human faces on the tentacles of this monster are the people of the [Great Yan Kingdom] who were brutally killed and assimilated by it! At the same time, this gray light can also be said to be the manifestation of the monster''s gaze. And how can humans capture the speed of light? In less than a blink of an eye, this gray light came to Heller. At this critical moment, Heller raised a smile and casually snapped his fingers. To be precise, he predicted the attack before the gray light appeared and reacted. This created the illusion that his speed exceeded the speed of light. Boom! The moment he snapped his fingers, the color of the gray light suddenly changed. Its color continued to deepen, and in an instant it turned into a deep black like ink. Immediately afterwards, it seemed to lose all its aggression and became docile and obedient. Heller opened his mouth slightly, revealing a set of slightly sharp teeth. Immediately, this black light entered his mouth on its own and was swallowed by him. After chewing for a while, Heller commented with a strange blush on his face. "The taste is a bit off, but it''s not inedible." He actually ate the enemy''s secret power directly! Seeing this scene, Xia En inexplicably thought of his own [Secret Power of the Void]. [Void Secret Power] also has the ability to devour other secret powers, but it is not that difficult to do this in battle. at the same time. The changes in the field are not over yet. After snapping his fingers, black spots suddenly appeared one after another on the body surface of the one-eyed flesh ball monster. If you look closely, you will find that the essence of the black spots are actually pitch-black tentacles! I dont know when, but the tentacles on the monsters body were silently transformed into something similar to [Deep Touch]! Moreover, the other tentacles seem to know nothing about it. They seemed to regard these tentacles of different colors as their own kind, and did not launch any attacks. Seeing this, a flash of light flashed in Musa''s eyes. "Did it turn out that the seeds had been planted just now?" The black spots on the monster''s surface are spreading at an extremely fast speed, occupying nearly one-third of the area in the blink of an eye. Not only that, even a faint black energy began to appear around the huge pupils. In terms of the ability to infect, Heller''s profound power can only be described as terrifying. However, the characteristics of secret power have both advantages and disadvantages. Although Heller can continuously weaken the one-eyed flesh ball, he lacks the ability to kill with one strike. At this time, Musa said: "Then, leave it to me." Before he finished speaking, the elegant old man stretched out his hand, and the warm radiance like the sun began to flow and gather. Gradually, a large sword composed of brilliance formed in his hand. [DivinitySword of Light] This was originally a simple magical technique in Hui Religion, but in Musa''s hands, it showed a stunning style. "cut!" With a soft shout, Musa swung his sword forward. The slender lightsaber spread to a length of dozens of kilometers in an instant, slashing downwards with the power of destroying the world. The next moment, a white line running through the body appeared on the surface of the dirty monster. The eyeball was also split into two. laugh- In the dazzling white light, its body slowly fell to both sides, constantly collapsing. (End of chapter) Chapter 343 【Saint Son of Netherworld】【Angel of Glor Chapter 343 [The Holy Son of Netherworld] [The Divine Envoy of Glory] It''s all been a long story. In fact, the entire process from the emergence of the white tentacles to the destruction of the one-eyed flesh ball did not take more than ten minutes. At this moment, he looked at this stunning sword of light that cut across the ice field. Everyone couldn''t help but hold their breath, and their hearts were shaken. Until they see it with their own eyes, they may not believe that this is something a mystic can do. Although most people have long heard how powerful the legendary powerhouse is, there is also the saying that "if you are not a legend, you are just an ant". However, the impact of hearsay and personal witnessing are completely different. At this point, people realized It turns out that this is the power of the legendary strong man! It turns out that one person''s power can reach such a level! This is the strength of the secret person who stands at the top of this world! Envy, awe, emotion, yearning... Such complex emotions can''t help but arise in people''s hearts. Even Xia En sighed softly in his heart: "There are people outside people, and there are mountains outside mountains." "It seems that I still have a long way to go..." In mid-air, Mr. Heller couldn''t help but curled his lips and muttered: "This old man is really good at stealing the limelight." "No wonder Hui teaches so well in superficial skills." In the battle just now, Heller actually played a big role. Without him to contain and weaken this [filthy creature] hiding under the ice sheet, Musa would not have been able to kill it instantly with one blow. This is the relationship between auxiliary and output. Without any one of them, they would not be able to destroy this monster so easily. In fact, this is one of the reasons for the emergence of this strange pair. When the dazzling lightsaber gradually turned into little rays of light and dispersed, Musa came to Heller and said calmly: "It''s a pleasure to cooperate." Heller snorted coldly, but did not refute, just said instead. "It''s almost time to head to the next marked spot, right?" "One or two of these monsters are fine alone, but if they gather into a wave like the [prophet] said, the situation will be much more troublesome." Musa nodded: "You are right." "but" Musa turned to look at the [Black Swan], a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "I sensed a familiar atmosphere on that ship, and I wanted to pay it a visit first." The perception of the legendary powerhouse is extremely keen, so the first time they came to this ice field, the two of them discovered the [Black Swan] and other ships not far away. But usually, they don''t actually come into contact with these passing ships. Hearing this, Heller raised his eyebrows in surprise. "To think you care so much, I''m a little curious about who that person is." "...Huh?" Suddenly, Heller let out a light sigh and his expression became a little serious. "What is this aura?" He looked at Musa in surprise and murmured to himself: "Could it be that the person we are looking for is the same person?" "No, no, no...this is impossible no matter how you say it, right?" Afterwards, Heller took a step forward regardless of Moussa''s reaction. The whole figure seemed to turn into a swimming shadow. Just a few breaths. He appeared above the [Black Swan]. "What''s the meaning?" Musa quickly sensed some strange meanings from Heller''s words, so not to be outdone, he also turned into a stream of light and approached the [Black Swan] in an instant. The actions of the two people immediately aroused exclamations from everyone on several ships. "W-what''s going on?" "Those two legendary strong men are coming to us? And they seem to be in a hurry..." "What do they want to do?" Seeing the two figures, black and white, approaching rapidly, everyone''s breathing quickened. Just when they were watching from a distance, they felt a strong sense of oppression. I once again witnessed a secret technique that seemed to be able to destroy the world. At this time, it was about to get up close and personal with the two legends. Not to mention the ordinary crew members, even the Daisy siblings, Lewis and others were a little unable to maintain a normal mentality and seemed a little nervous. What makes everyone even more confused and curious is. What do these two legends want to do when they come to the Black Swan? Apart from Musa and Heller, Xian is probably the only one who knows the answer to this question. Soon, Heller was the first to descend on the deck of the [Black Swan]. Looking at Xia En not far away, he said gently. "Captain Shane, it is indeed you." "haven''t seen you for a long time." When he said this, Heller''s attitude was gentle and courteous, like a true gentleman. It was very different from the previous attitude towards Musa. Aside from his slightly dark temperament and weird appearance, he looked no different from an ordinary nobleman. Seeing his attitude and hearing his words, the people nearby who were paying attention to Heller couldn''t help but widen their eyes in surprise. Is this legendary strong man an old acquaintance of Captain Shane? Is he here for Captain Shane? ! Moreover, everyone also noticed that Heller''s attitude towards Xia En was very equal, even with a bit of respect? You know, due to the huge strength gap between legendary strongmen and ordinary secretaries. The former''s attitude towards the latter will inevitably be a little arrogant and indifferent. Even if the legendary strongman himself is not aware of it, it will always show up in some inadvertent places. This is just like how extraordinary beings treat ordinary people. Although both are still human beings, the gap between them may be even greater than that between creatures of different species. Generally speaking, legends will only talk on an equal footing when facing legends. If Shane and Heller were old acquaintances, this equal attitude would be understandable, but where does this respect come from? Everyone was puzzled. Shane also has no obligation to explain to people, he looked at Heller and said. "Are you...the Heller I know?" "With all due respect, the difference between you seems a bit too big." Heller said with a smile: "As expected of Captain Shane, he really has a good eye!" "Actually, the person I met you before was just a clone of me." While speaking, a deep tentacle protruded from the hem of his clothes. In the blink of an eye, this tentacle squirmed and transformed into a being that looked exactly like Heller. With the same smile on his face, he stared at Shane along with Heller. However, the aura on his body was much weaker than that of Heller. The two said together: "Although we are clones, our memories are shared." "So no matter which Heller is, it is actually me, but there are certain differences in personality and strength." This scene looked quite horrifying, but Xia En''s face remained calm and enlightenment arose in his heart. With the size of the Seven Seas, each sect must have its own means to achieve rapid transmission of information. The Hui Sects [Glory Land] is a method. "Mr. Heller" who has many clones is also a method. His clones may have long been like countless tentacles, spread throughout the seven seas, uniting the many believers of the [Youshu Sect] together in this strange way. Just imagining that situation gave Xia En a chill in his heart. He is indeed a legendary powerhouse! It is indeed the [Netherworld Sect] that has lasted for thousands of years! An ancient esoteric religion like this obviously still has its own foundation. After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En said: "Anyway, thank you for your help last time." Heller smiled and said: "Captain Shane made a strong statement, that''s what I should do." "Besides, I really saw the right person." "It has only been a short time, but Captain Xia En''s strength has already advanced by leaps and bounds to this point..." Regardless of the flattery, Heller was indeed quite surprised. The last time the clone met Xia En, the other person was just a third-level Mystic Pathfinder. Not to mention his own body, even his clone is far stronger than Xia En. But now, in less than a year, Xia En has entered the category of fifth-level Mystic Pathfinder. And in Heller''s opinion, his aura is even more powerful than the average sixth-level mystic. This kind of promotion speed can only be described as an exaggeration! Heller was also called a genius among geniuses back then, but compared to Shane''s breakthrough speed, he could only be regarded as slow. He sighed with emotion: "Sure enough... he is indeed the predicted Son." Hearing this, Xia En''s expression suddenly felt strange. "Huh? The prophesied Son?" Why does this title sound so familiar to him? The [Moon-Yong Clan] on [Sand Island] also called themselves this. Moreover, the [Yongyue Clan] believes in the Hui Sect, and Heller is a key figure in the [Netherworld Sect]. Why do both sects regard themselves as the Son of God? Who left this prophecy? Xia En couldn''t help but complain in his heart. When he was about to ask Heller about the prophecy, the streamer wrapped in Musa had also arrived at the [Black Swan]. Musa took a step forward and stepped out of the light. His wise eyes scanned the people on the boat, as if he was looking for something. Soon, his eyes were fixed on Xia En. After hesitating for a moment, Musa asked. "Are you [Black Light]?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. He was not too surprised to be recognized by Heller. After all, Xia En had previously felt that Heller would help him, and there must be some deeper reason. But facing the archbishop in white, whose identity was revealed by one word as "[Black Light]", Xia En felt inexplicably flustered. After all, he was not a genuine follower of the Hui Cult, he only got the [Hui Yao Crystal Mirror] by chance. Shane even falsely delivered an "oracle" in front of Musa, which became the trigger for the war between the three secret sects. Therefore, Musa suddenly came to the door and confronted him on the spot. Xia En inevitably feels like being "opened offline". Fortunately, Xia En has experienced so many things and has long developed a mentality of not being afraid of danger. Although he was a little panicked, he didn''t show it at all on his face. Instead, he looked as steady as an old dog and said calmly. "Yes, it''s me." "really" Musa nodded: "The light of your soul is very special. Once you see it once, you will never forget it." "I just noticed your light and rushed over." "I didn''t expect you to be so young in real life..." As soon as these words came out, the crew members on other ships once again made a small uproar. "Not only the black-haired man from before, but also this legend, is he here for Captain Shane?" "Wait...I seem to have some impression of him..." One of them actually recognized Musa''s identity and exclaimed: "He, he is the archbishop of the old sect!" "Hiss! Archbishop..." Most people don''t know much about Hui Religion, but they have often been to the [Deep Sea Church], so they are still very clear about the value of the position of "Archbishop". Previously, Musa''s deeds of cutting through the ice sheet with one sword also supported this statement from the side. On the deck of the [Black Swan], Jane''s eyes couldn''t help but flicker, and she murmured in her heart. "One [Netherworld Sect], one Hui Sect, and the previous [Truth Society]..." "Captain Shane, how many secret sects are you connected to?" at the same time. Heller couldn''t help but frown slightly: "[Black Light]?" He asked, looking back and forth between Musa and Xia En suspiciously. "You... know each other?" "Um?" Musa was vaguely aware of the weirdness of the matter, but he was the Archbishop of Hui Sect after all, so he still said calmly. "Yes, let me introduce to you. This is our Hui Sect''s [Hui Yao Divine Envoy], codenamed [Black Light]." "ah?" Heller was stunned for a moment, extremely puzzled. You old man, why are you leading someone to rob someone? Xia En is clearly the holy son of their [Youshu Sect], how did he become the divine envoy of Hui Sect? However, Heller did not say this out of the blue. He looked at Xia En, and after thinking hard, he came to a conclusion. Xia En did not really convert to the Hui religion. The reason why he was regarded as a divine messenger must be because of the characteristics related to the gods in him. Maybe he just wanted to lurk in the Hui Sect and spy on their core intelligence! If he exposes the identity of the Holy Son, it will ruin Xia En''s original plan. Thinking of this, Heller''s thoughts instantly became clear. He said half complaining and half jokingly: "Old man, I didn''t expect that we are so destined. This Captain Xia En is my old friend whom I met before." "I was preparing to develop him into the [Netherworld Sect], but I didn''t expect that you would get in first." "Um!?" Upon hearing this, Musa immediately became alert and said to Shane. "Sir [Black Light], you have to stay away from this guy. They believe in the [Deep Lord] sleeping in the deep sea and try to wake it up." "You must not go astray!" The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. He noticed Heller''s winking expression at this time, as if to say, "Captain Shane, what do you think of my acting skills?" However, because Xia En didn''t really believe in any god, he didn''t want to continue on this topic, so he asked instead. "Speaking of which, why are you two here?" (End of chapter) Chapter 344 The wave is coming, [the dead come back Chapter 344 The wave is coming, [the dead come back to life? When it came to business, Musa and Heller also looked serious. Musa said: "You should already know about the temporary reconciliation between [Hui Sect], [Youshu Sect] and [Truth Society], right?" Xia En had already heard about this in [The Land of Glory], so he nodded and said, "Yes." "In fact, our temporary reconciliation this time is to solve the upcoming crisis of annihilation." Musa continued: "During the original peace talks, the three major esoteric sects even made a bet." "Which sect made the greatest contribution in this incident will get the list of core members of the other two major sects." Hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly. "Bet...list...contribution?" "Otherwise, it''s easy to say, but how do you judge your contribution?" Heller on the side replied: "[Truth Machine] - this is the name we give to the machine that [Truth Society] believes in." "It is an absolutely objective and cold machine, with characteristics similar to [The Will of the Secret Sea]." "It will make an accurate judgment based on the final outcome." Xia En nodded: "That''s it." He still had some inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. After all, even if the [Truth Machine] itself was reliable, did the [Truth Society] really not have the back-up to control the machine? Xia En had a vague feeling that [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] would agree to this bet, and there might be some hidden secrets that he didn''t know about. However, now that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, it does not make much sense to delve into these details. "In these days, our sect has also sent a large number of elites to the [Far North]." "In order to resolve this disaster as soon as possible, we proactively contacted the Federal Navy and were told-" Musa paused and continued: "In the [Far North], there are a large number of monsters like the ones just now, and it is difficult for ordinary mystics to kill them." "Only those who master the secret power can kill it completely." "Especially priests and priests of various sects are extremely scarce and precious under such circumstances." "Actually, [Deep Sea Church], [Steam Church] and other secret sects have also sent out their backbones and elites. Even so, the manpower is still very insufficient." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly understood. Just as Jane said - only the power of gods can fight against gods. In order to eliminate the traces of pollution left by [Huisiming] on this ice sheet, various local sects in [Seven Seas World] undoubtedly played a big role. Heller added: "At the request of the current commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] Moritz." "The manpower of our two factions have been organized into various teams of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] to deal with these difficult monsters." "As for those of us who are Mystics above Legend, we are divided into groups of varying numbers and act individually to kill the more powerful ones among the monsters." "Just like the existence made of the tentacles just now." Obviously, although the legendary mystics may not have a **** they believe in, they probably have the means to kill [filthy creatures]. After all, Xia En can comprehend the existence of [Secret Power of the Void] at the fifth level, and every legend must have his own unique secret technique. As for why Heller was grouped with Moussa. Except for the fact that the two people are similar in strength. The more important reason is probably that Commander Moritz of the Far North Expeditionary Force hopes that they can supervise each other and check and balance each other to avoid causing any trouble at this critical moment. Through the two people''s explanations, Xia En also had a deeper understanding of the situation in the [Far North] at this time. However, he still has a lot of things he doesn''t understand. Xia En simply asked directly: "Is the [Far North Expeditionary Force] taking the initiative to eliminate these [filthy creatures]?" To be honest, it was just what Xia En saw along the way. There are not too many [Far North Expeditionary Force] fighting against [Filthy Creatures]. After all, most of these [Filthy Creatures] are hiding in ruins under the ice. If you stay vigilant, it is entirely possible to avoid the area where these [Filthy Creatures] are located. But from what Musa and the two said, it seemed that Commander Moritz was ordering them to take the initiative to exterminate the [filthy creatures] on the ice sheet? Why is this? Musa nodded and said, "That''s right." He explained: "The reason why Moritz issued such an order was because of the prediction given by a [great prophet] in the legendary realm." "These weird monsters are about to break through the ice sheet and launch an attack on the base of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "At that time, a wave of monsters will form." "And based on our observations during this period, we found that monsters do have such a trend." "Although their movement speed is still very limited, there is indeed a group of monsters gathering towards the north." Shane immediately remembered the movements of these tentacles not long ago. The direction they are heading is also the northernmost point, as if... something is calling them. Heller also said seriously: "Instead of waiting for such a wave of monsters to form, it is better to take the initiative and eliminate as many monsters as possible." Xia En nodded and said: "That''s it." His previous guess actually came true! But if you think about it carefully, the reason why these [filthy creatures] are gathering at the base of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is. Maybe its because the [Far North Expeditionary Force] discovered a way to solve the crisis of annihilation. In order to prevent this from happening, the [Filthy Creatures] will gradually become restless. Thinking of this, Xia En asked again: "Is this glacier the source of the second world-destroying flood?" Musa said with a flash of strange color in his eyes. "As expected of His Excellency [Black Light], you can even see this." "In fact, the second great flood can be called the aftermath of the first great flood..." Soon, Musa told Shane about the secrets of the "World-Destroying Flood" that he knew, which was basically the same as Shane''s previous deduction. The slight difference is... Musa said: "In fact, at first, King Xin did seem to have successfully sealed the first world-destroying flood." "But for some unknown reason, the seal was suddenly broken. This caused King Xin''s arrangement to fall short, causing the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] to be destroyed." "This glacier is actually just the remaining effectiveness of the seal." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be moved. He thought that King Xin would only seal this part of the flood from the beginning, but he did not expect that King Xin had successfully sealed the first major flood. The concepts of these two are completely different. This even means that King Xin has truly defeated that [Humi Siming] once in a certain field! However, what makes Xia En curious is what happened in the past history that caused King Xin''s seal to be broken, causing all success to fail. Is it [Husi Ming]''s move? Or the backstab of [Black Flame Walker]? Or maybe there are other reasons... This question can probably only be answered when he meets Yan Yan again. Since King Xin was mentioned, Xia En naturally asked about his whereabouts. "Do you know where King Xin is now?" "Huh? Why are you so interested in King Xin?" Heller glanced at Xia En strangely and asked curiously. "I wanted to ask before, why do you and your ship have such a strong smell of ''embers''?" "It seems there are a few more [Black Flame Walkers], right?" When he said this, Heller''s eyes swept over Irina and Sergey, obviously recognizing their identities. "The scent of embers?" Upon hearing this statement, Xia En was slightly stunned at first, but he soon came to his senses. It''s like his [Secret Power of the Void] has extremely special properties and aura. King Xin''s secret power obviously also has its own unique characteristics. For ordinary people on the secret path, they may not be able to sense the residue of such secret power. But to fellow legends Heller and Musa, it is as eye-catching as the moon in the night sky. Seeing that the two of them had revealed a lot of secrets, Xia En had nothing to hide. Instead, he briefly introduced the past between himself and Yan Yan. Among them, the fact that [Princess Dayan] was also on his ship was also hidden. Although Heller and I can basically be trusted, the matter of [Princess Dayan] is a bit sensitive after all, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. After listening to Xia En''s story, Heller and Musa couldn''t help showing surprised expressions. "There is such a thing." Heller patted Xia En on the shoulder: "You are so lucky, you are a bit invincible!" Musa said: "No wonder you want to know the whereabouts of King Xin, but unfortunately, we don''t know where King Xin is." "It is said that there seems to be some kind of change in [Black Flame Walker]. King Xin should be dealing with it, right?" Heller touched his chin: "I heard that the [Truth Society] seems to have intervened in the internal fighting of the [Black Flame Walker]... I don''t know whether it is true or not." "Um?" Hearing this, Xia En immediately became alert: "[Truth Society]?!" Its no wonder that he had such a big reaction, it was really because what the [Truth Society] did was so evil and weird, even worse than the [Hui Sect] and the [Yousu Sect]. So much so that Xia En had a bad feeling just by hearing this name. Not to mention that at this time, the [Truth Society] also intervened in the affairs of the [Black Flame Walker]. He quickly asked: "What''s going on?" Heller scratched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "I actually don''t know the specific situation." "After all, after the peace talks, it is equivalent to signing a non-aggression pact between us, and we cannot obtain information by tortured members of the other party." Xia En said sincerely: "No matter what the situation is, please tell me in detail." Hearing this, Heller straightened his expression and said. "I only know that unlike us who chose to cooperate with the Federal Navy, the [Truth Society] should decide to join forces with King Xin to solve the imminent disaster." "Perhaps this is also to avoid contact with the personnel of our two religions." This is easy to understand. It hasn''t been long since the ceasefire between the three major esoteric cults, and there must be deep hatred among the members. If they were all placed in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], a serious conflict might break out. - Just like the war between Xia En and the vampires. Separating and keeping a certain distance is obviously a wise decision. "Last time, I saw members of the [Truth Society] hanging out with some [Black Flame Walkers]." "It seems that he also said words like ''resurrection'', ''rebellion'' and ''fight against King Xin''." After saying that, Heller looked at Irina and the two: "Do you have any impression of this and the [Truth Society]?" Irina shook her head in confusion: "[Truth Society], what is that?" Sergey''s pupils shrank: "Resurrection? Are those rebels thinking?" Xia En frowned and vaguely guessed something. After thinking for a moment, he asked Heller again: "Excuse me, is there a secret technique to resurrect others in this world?" "It doesn''t exist." Musa said categorically: "People cannot be resurrected after death. This can be regarded as one of the iron laws of our world." "Although there are secret techniques in the world that can heal fatally injured people at great cost." "But strictly speaking, it is only a type of healing technique, not a true resurrection." Xia En asked curiously: "What about necromancy and necromancers?" Musa explained: "The secret art of the necromantic system is just pieced together with the remaining souls in the corpse and mixed with the secret power to form an existence." "Compared with their former selves, they are already two completely different individuals." To use an analogy, the living is like a tree that thrives. "The undead awakened through necromancy are like the flames and black smoke produced when the tree is burned after it is cut down." Finally, Moussa said in an unusually sure tone. "The so-called ''resurrection'' of the [Truth Society] must be just a deception to deceive people." At this time, Jane, who had been listening before, also stepped forward and spoke seriously. "That''s right, Captain Shane, the real [Resurrection of the Dead] does not exist." "I have tried several times, but the final result was hopeless failure." Jane looked at Xia En seriously, with complexity and pain in her eyes, and sighed. "Don''t pursue resurrecting others, that will only make people miserable." Xia En fell silent slightly. He could feel the complicated past revealed in Jane''s words. As an immortal species, Jane must have seen countless joys and sorrows in her life. Perhaps, there are also things she wants to save. It seemed particularly convincing for her to say this. After noticing Jane''s voice, Musa and Heller showed surprised expressions again. They all noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar temperament from this gray-haired woman. "[Truth Society?]" Musa said in surprise. "No, no, you don''t have the fanaticism of ordinary [Truth Society] members..." But soon, he suddenly felt that the outline of Jane''s facial features looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. After a moment, Musa said in surprise. "Ms. Jane? Is that you?" (End of chapter) Chapter 345 The missing [King]! Arrive at the [Far N Chapter 345 The missing [King]! Arrive at the [Far North Expeditionary Force Station]! "It''s me." Jane nodded and said with a little emotion: "I didn''t expect you to still remember me." "The little boy back then has grown so big." "Of course I remember!" Musa said seriously: "It is precisely because of your guidance, Ms. Jane, that I am on the right path." "It can be said that without you, I would not be where I am today." After hearing this conversation, Xia En''s expression suddenly felt strange. It turns out that there is still such a past between Jane and Musa. Maybe this is the benefit of living long enough. As long as you live long enough, you will always be able to personally experience and witness the occurrence of some major historical events, or have contact with some important figures. On the other side, Mr. Heller also thought of something through Jane''s unique temperament and said. "Could it be that you are the one with the eighth [Truth Number]..." "Mrs. Serenity?" At the same time that Heller spoke, there was a burst of noise in the ears of the people around him, making it impossible to understand the content of this sentence. This is a protection mechanism set up by Jane to prevent her identity from being revealed. But when he heard this question, Musa frowned suddenly and gave Heller a rare and angry look. "Can this kind of question be asked in this situation?" "Do you have any bad intentions?" Heller also realized that the question he asked was somewhat inappropriate, and said to Jane sincerely. "Ms. Jane, I''m sorry, I was careless." He glanced at Musa strangely again: "But old man, why are you so concerned about this lady''s affairs?" "Hiss... is it you?" Musa said calmly: "Hui Religion has never prohibited members from marrying. Rather, our teachings have always supported believers in pursuing their own happiness." "Ahem...ahem!" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help coughing. At this moment, he could completely understand what Musa meant. It seems that the archbishop is not just a simple old friend, but also has some special feelings for Jane? Combined with the few words just said. Musa appears to have met Jane as a young boy. At that time, there was a high probability that Jane was not in the silver-haired appearance, but in the form of a royal sister? Will the little boy and the big sister meet again after so many years? Do you think this plot looks familiar? Jane glanced at Xia En, who was not too worried about the excitement, and then said seriously. "Sorry, Mr. Moussa, I didn''t have any idea in that regard." When she said this, Jane''s tone was already slightly distant. "As for my identity, I ask you two to conceal it for me." "Well, that''s it, I''m going to rest." After that, Jane stopped lingering on the deck and turned directly back to the cabin. "Ms. Jane..." Musa originally wanted to say something, but seeing Jane''s determined attitude, he had to swallow his words again. He glared at Heller with slight dissatisfaction. If Heller hadn''t made it clear, maybe he wouldn''t have been rejected so directly. Heller smiled awkwardly and said, "Old man, your road to pursuing happiness will probably be very bumpy." "I have also heard of that lady''s name. She can allow the [Truth Society] to pursue her for hundreds of years, but she is still safe and sound." "As long as she has made up her mind, it doesn''t matter if you are the Archbishop of Hui Jiao." Musa said calmly: "I know." From Jane''s reaction, he had already anticipated the upcoming difficulties. But after all, he is a legendary strongman who has sat in the position of archbishop. His heart is extremely firm in seeking the truth, and he has tenacious faith and will. Naturally, he will not give up so easily. "Your Excellency [Black Light], it seems that we will meet again in the future." After exchanging information again. Suddenly, Musa narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the distant ice field. "Another legendary [Filthy Creature]?" After some exchanges with Xia En, both Musa also recognized the title [Filthy Creature]. Not only him, Heller also sensed the fluctuations coming from that direction, and said with a solemn expression. "During this period, they have really become active visible to the naked eye." "The number of [filthy creatures] awakening from under the glacier is gradually increasing." Obviously, this is not good news. This means that the reinforcements of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] will have to make a lot of sacrifices just to reach the headquarters in the [Far North]. Moreover, this is more and more consistent with the situation predicted by the legendary prophet. A wave of [filthy creatures] is gathering among the glaciers and under the ice sea. "The undercurrent is surging..." Xia En restrained his previous mood of watching the excitement and looked a little solemn. He could already feel the oppressive aura of impending mountain rain, shrouding the entire [Far North] like a shadow. "Stop talking about that, we are going to destroy that [Filthy Creature]." Heller looked at Shane and said. "By the way, your destination should also be the station of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "In that case, why not let me give you a ride." Xia En also wanted to reach the location of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] as soon as possible, so he was not polite to Heller and said: "Mr. Heller, I''ll leave it to you." "good." Heller nodded, and then his body floated in mid-air, looking at the sea in front of the [Black Swan]. In the process, one of his eyes was gradually dyed completely black. It is like a deep whirlpool that is constantly rotating, and like a black hole that swallows everything. Immediately, a whirlpool with strange and mysterious power gradually formed in the sea water. Xia En could tell at a glance that this was exactly the same as the "teleportation vortex" that sent the [Black Swan] to the [Cold Sea]. However, the accuracy and scope of this vortex are much better than the previous ones, as it is cast by Heller''s body. "Let''s go!" Xia En turned his head and gave an order to the captain of the "Qingfeng" and other ships. "Follow me! I''ll take you to the headquarters of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]!" After saying that, he took the lead in driving the [Black Swan] into the whirlpool. "Captain Shane?" Seeing the [Black Swan] being swallowed up by the whirlpool and disappearing, Daisy and her brother couldn''t help but look shocked. But in the end, trust in Shane defeated the uneasiness about the unknown, and they quickly followed and sailed into the whirlpool. The biggest commotion occurred on several ships of the [Dragon Pirate Group]. But Lewis had long been impressed by Xia En''s various deeds, coupled with Nana''s urging. Therefore, they did not hesitate for long and quickly plunged into the whirlpool. And after several ships were sent away. Above this sea of ??ice, only Musa and Heller were left. Compared with when they were in front of Xia En and others, the expressions of the two of them were visibly serious, even a little serious. This attitude is completely different from the previous relaxed state when facing the one-eyed flesh ball. Musa glanced at Heller and said, "Sure enough, you also sensed that big guy." "Is that why you sent them away early?" Heller nodded: "That guy... I''m afraid even you and I can''t deal with him, right?" In fact, just as Shane guessed, Musa and Heller were not ordinary seventh-level legends. Their ranks are already at the eighth level! And for an existence that can make two eighth-level experts secretly fearful, one can imagine how powerful the other party is. Musa asked: "Want to take a look?" Heller nodded: "Of course!" "If such a guy is allowed to wander in the [Far North], I''m afraid the [Far North Expeditionary Force] will be completely destroyed soon, right?" "At least...restrict its movements." A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Musa with a smile. "Old man, didn''t you just find Ms. Jane? Are you sure you want to come with us?" Musa said calmly: "It is Hui''s duty to purify the filth in the world." "As for Jane...if the world is destroyed, how can we talk about the future and happiness?" "let''s go." After saying that, Musa took a step forward, his figure turned into a stream of light again, and approached the direction from which the terrifying aura came. Heller hid in the shadow cast by the streamer without saying a word, and followed closely behind. It''s not just Musa. At the moment when the terrifying aura awakened, several legendary strong men in the [Far North] were vaguely aware of it. A shirtless old man raised his head in the ice field, laughed heartily and then jumped up. The entire glacier was shattered by his step. A handsome captain calmed the crew behind him, opened a door, and disappeared. There was also a lady in gorgeous clothes who chuckled and gently crushed the gem in her hand. Most of them made the same decision and headed in the direction where the terrifying aura spread. And when the white light and black light representing Musa and Heller arrived near the terrifying aura. They saw... A huge and slender warship! On the coating as cold as metal, the [Star Wave] logo with stars and waves coexisting is drawn. Weird rust and filth were spread throughout every corner of the ship, as if it had been abandoned for thousands of years. Musa recognized the two at a glance. This is the [King] that has been missing for a long time! What surprised the two of them was that the terrifying aura that they sensed beyond ordinary legends also escaped from this steel warship. And in the sky above the [King], there was still a figure burning with flames. He wears a red and black crown on his head, and rides a six-legged flaming horse with a mane like fire. Behind him, a dark red cloak made of flames was rustling in the cold wind. Even if he didn''t speak or move, just staying in mid-air would attract everyone''s attention. Seeing this man, whether it was Musa or Heller, there was a feeling of being suffocated. It was as if his eyes were about to be burned just by looking at the flame. "Salary King..." Heller narrowed his eyes slightly and spit out the name. Of course, Heller had heard about the news about the reappearance of King Xin. But to be honest, he still has a slight contempt for this king of the old era. After all, nowadays, various secret arts and technologies have developed with the times to a new peak. An old antique like King Xin, even in his prime, may not be a match for a modern Mystic of the same level. What''s more, after sleeping for such a long time, King Xin''s strength may have greatly diminished. However, after seeing King Xin with his own eyes, Heller discovered... My previous thoughts were totally wrong! Just standing in front of him, Heller felt an extremely heavy pressure. The king of the old era is still the king! The contempt in Heller''s heart disappeared, replaced by solemnity and vigilance. Some [Black Flame Walkers] chose to rebel due to some unknown purpose. So, which side is the current salary king on? Right now. King Xin opened his eyes, and there seemed to be hot flames beating in his eyes, and dark red lava flowing in them. He also said his first words after meeting the two: "You guys are finally here..." at the same time. A vast sea of ??ice. Ships such as the Black Swan and the Breeze appeared one after another on the sea full of ice floes. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply by several degrees compared to before. The sky is a vast gray, and the dim skylight is hidden behind the clouds. The cold sea breeze blew across the deck. "This, this is?" Daisy on the [Qingfeng] stood firm and looked around in surprise. Suddenly, a sailor exclaimed: "Island! There is an island there!" Everyone looked in the direction they were pointing and saw a huge island on the blue ice sea. Unlike the ice sheets we encountered before, there seemed to be real soil and ground on this island. And Xia En had done his homework before coming. That island is obviously the [Ultra North Island] located in the center of [Ultra North Land]. Thousands of years ago, there was actually no so-called [Ultra North Island], only this vast [Ultra North Land]. It was only because of the arrival of the great flood and the freezing of the glaciers that this island was left at the highest point of the [Far North]. Looking from a distance, it seems that there are many man-made fortifications on the island, and there are warships docked on the coastline. In the more core area of ??the island, there is a stretch of snow-capped mountains and glaciers that are breathtaking. Under those glaciers, there may also be hidden [filthy creatures] that we encountered before. "That should be the current location of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." Shane quickly made a judgment and drove the [Black Swan] closer to the island. As he got closer, Xia En discovered that the island was much larger than he expected. In other words, in the other three directions, the sea surface is replaced by thick ice. As a result, the [Ultra North Island] is connected to a large glacier, making it impossible to tell them apart. It didn''t take long. The [Black Swan] led several ships to the coast. Soon, a group of soldiers wearing thick navy uniforms came to greet them. The leading soldier asked. "It''s the captain of the [Black Swan], Mr. Shane, right?" Xia En was a little surprised, but he responded directly: "It''s me." The soldier continued: "Please follow me, Captain Carles is already waiting for you." (End of chapter) Chapter 346 Goodbye Carles! The ghost of a country! Chapter 346 Goodbye Carles! The ghost of a country! When he heard the name Carles, Shane suddenly became energetic. It is a joy in itself to hear a familiar name in this strange [Ultra North Island]. What''s more, on the way here, Shane was worried about Carles'' safety. As the first batch of reinforcements to arrive in the Far North, Carles and others must have faced an extremely difficult situation. It is undoubtedly a joy to hear the news that Carles is still safe and sound. It didn''t take long. Under the leadership of this officer, Xia En and his party passed through a temporary iron-gray defense line and officially entered the [Far North Expeditionary Force] station. Behind the fortifications made of metal and ice are artillery pieces with advanced styles and extremely large calibers. The black muzzle, the streamlined barrel made of steel, and the strange patterns carved on the surface of the gun... all give people a faint sense of oppression and threat. One can imagine what an astonishing sight it will be once this steel behemoth wakes up and reveals its fangs. Xia En had never seen this type of magic pattern cannon several times on [Liu Li Island]. Obviously, in order to deal with this disaster, federal officials really came up with many good things that were at the bottom of the box. They are the creations that condense the essence of the most advanced technology and secret arts of this era! Xia En couldn''t help but think that Feiya would be very excited if she saw this kind of heavy artillery, right? Fei Ya has a mysterious love for this type of guns, and he is often responsible for the maintenance of the Black Swan''s guns. However, after thinking about it, Xia En was a little worried. In such an extreme environment as the Far North, many equipment designed to operate at normal temperatures will undoubtedly be affected a lot. Can these heavy artillery really fire normally? "Um?" Thinking of this, Xia En glanced at these artillery pieces strangely. Only then did he realize that instead of ice crystals condensing on the surface of these cannons, there was actually a stream of steam coming out? What''s going on? After taking a closer look, Xia En suddenly realized. It turned out that under the magic pattern cannon, there was a layer of steam pipes emitting high temperature. The temperature escaping from the pipes fights against the cold air, allowing these heavy artillery to remain in normal working condition and ready to fire. Noticing Xia En''s gaze, the officer leading the way took the initiative to speak. "For this expedition, the Federation mobilized a large number of priests and mechanics from the Church of Steam and spent a lot of effort to meet the basic heating needs on the [Far North Island]." Xia En nodded: "That''s it." "That''s still hard work." Speaking of which, although Xia En has a close relationship with Feiya and Carles, his understanding of the Church of Steam is quite limited, and he has never even been to a church of the Church of Steam. So at this time, he also had some curiosity about this church that he had not had before. In addition to the heavy artillery cluster, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] station also has tanks and groups of soldiers. Further away, there are tents connected one after another, and the barracks are connected into one piece. Obviously, that was the camp where the expeditionary force temporarily lived. However, the residence of the federal navy is obviously divided into two areas with the reinforcements from other forces. Otherwise, if they are mixed together, it will become more difficult to manage. And soon, Xia En noticed that the chariots and soldiers passing by were all in a hurry and had solemn expressions. Some camps seemed particularly empty, and the people inside seemed to have been sent out to perform some kind of mission. It felt to Xia En as if something big had happened, causing quite a commotion in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. Seeing this, Xia En simply asked the officer leading the way. "What happened?" The officer hesitated for a moment and then said: "Just now, several legendary strongmen in the camp suddenly left and headed in the same direction." "It is speculated above that an extremely powerful enemy appeared in the [Far North], which made the legendary powerhouses choose to attack together." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but change his face slightly. "A very powerful enemy?" Just imagining an enemy that can allow so many legendary strong men to take action at the same time makes people feel chilly in their hearts. At this time, Shane quickly thought of Musa and Heller''s strange reactions. Integrate with this message. It is not difficult to guess that the reason why Heller sent them off in advance was probably related to that powerful enemy. It was done to protect them. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression became more solemn. It can be said that Musa and Heller are already the strongest people Xia En has seen except Yan Yan and Augustine. However, even the two of them did not have much confidence when facing the unknown enemy. This is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. "What exactly could that enemy be?" Xia En secretly guessed in his heart: "It''s impossible for [Huisi Ming] to take action himself, right?" "Could it be the [Apostle of Dirt and Chaos]?" "Or is it a [filthy creature] sleeping under the ice?" However, it is obviously impossible to know the truth just by guessing. Xia En suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and quickly followed the officer''s footsteps. Not long after. The group of people came to a special barracks. This barracks is obviously taller and better sealed. The walls seem to be made of some kind of special metal with extraordinary secret power. Seeing the group of people approaching, the guard at the door of the barracks said immediately. "Captain Shane, please wait a moment." "Captain Carles is undergoing maintenance and commissioning." Xia En nodded: "Okay." While waiting, Xia En silently observed the soldiers coming and going nearby. To his surprise, the soldiers showed great respect for Carles'' barracks. Occasionally, he looked into the room with a hint of awe. Precisely because of Carles'' order, they were very polite to Xia En and others, without any arrogance. Shane originally thought this was related to the identities of Daisy''s siblings. But now it seems like they only did it because of "Carles". This had to make Shane feel a little curious. After all, in the federal navy, the military position of "captain" is not too high. Even among the soldiers who came and went, there were many lieutenants and second lieutenants, but they all showed a sincere attitude towards Carles and obeyed his words. This seems extremely weird. Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this. laugh- Accompanied by the sound of gushes of steam, the door to the barracks slowly opened. What rushed towards me was a large white ball of hot steam. The temperature of the steam quickly dissipates the chill around you and brings a sense of warmth to people. And in the vast steam, a slender and straight figure slowly walked out. "Captain Shane, we finally meet again." The voice of the royal sister that Carles was familiar with came out from the steam first. However, after seeing her appearance at this moment, Xia En couldn''t help but frown slightly. Behind Xia En, Daisy couldn''t help but let out an exclamation. "Carles, you, your hands..." At this time, Carles''s entire right arm was no longer the slender and graceful style before, but had become extremely rough and brutal. It is at least three or four times larger than before, making it look a bit bulky. The color of this right arm also turned dark black, mixed with some ice blue and dark red blood. The entire robotic arm was incompatible with Carles'' body and looked extremely uncoordinated. It seems that it has undergone some kind of violent modification that seems to disregard coordination and durability. Not only that, there are many scars and traces of transformation on Carles'' body. Compared to the last time we met, she installed more than twice the number of steam cores and replaced most of the components. More steam cores not only mean greater power and strength, but they also bring a greater burden to Carles. When this burden reaches a certain level, it may even cause Carles to be completely scrapped, and the soul contained in the steam armor will also disappear. The previous strengthening of Carles has always been a step-by-step process. It is for this reason. Ordinary machinery may be permanently damaged due to overload, let alone a unique life form like Carles. In Xia En''s eyes, Carles''s aura has now exceeded the sixth level and is approaching the legend. But this state is obviously extremely unstable. An inappropriate metaphor. This is like the magic method in the novel about cultivating immortals. The short-term strength improvement is extremely rapid, but it will bring extremely serious sequelae. Not to mention the unstable state, he may even collapse and die at any time. Feeling Xia En''s gaze, Carles felt a little guilty for no reason, but he still pretended to be nonchalant, waved his hand and said. "The last time I fought with a big guy, I accidentally broke my hand, so I had to use this arm to replace it." "It''s a bit ugly, but it''s still useful. It''s much more powerful than the one I had before." Shane frowned and said, "It''s not the arm I want to ask about." "Why did you suddenly undergo such an intense transformation?" "You should know that if you do this, you will..." Carles waved his hand and motioned for all other soldiers to retreat. After everyone else left, Carles said seriously: "Shane, this is my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else." "I need the strength to rescue my father and the strength to deal with this disaster." "Without power, even my father''s old men will not obey my orders." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Old subordinate?" After hearing this, he suddenly understood why those officers had a special attitude towards Carles. Carles is the "adopted daughter" of the legendary strongman Colonel Gold. In a sense, she is also an extension of Gold''s will. It is not difficult to guess that there must be many factions within the Federation Navy. There was originally a group of soldiers, with Gold as the core. Now that Gord has disappeared along with the King, his old subordinates naturally need a backbone to maintain the faction. As Gode''s adopted daughter, Carles is undoubtedly a good choice. But before that, Carles'' strength was obviously not enough to convince the public, and he might even be fooled and manipulated as a puppet. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that Carles will increase his strength regardless of the cost to gain the support of this group of soldiers. In fact, Carles did succeed. She was first transformed by several mechanics from the Church of Steam, and then showed an extremely heroic attitude on the battlefield. Her right arm was completely damaged in that battle, but this also established Carles'' reputation as the Platinum Knight. Many officers remembered this name and were convinced by her. What Carles is doing now is to gather the strength of these officers to find the missing [King] as soon as possible. Although Xia En didn''t know so many secrets, he still vaguely guessed Carles'' intention. Although he understands, he still feels a little depressed. It is precisely because of the importance he attaches to Carles that he has such emotions. "No more talking." Carles smiled and said, "You guys must be exhausted after coming all the way, right?" "The living environment here is slightly better than that of an ordinary military camp. You can rest here..." Suddenly, Carles'' voice stopped. The communicator directly connected to the helmet rang. "What? News about the [King]?" "What''s going on?" Xia En and others could not hear the words in the communicator, but they could see the changes in Carles'' emotions from the steam spitting from her body. The flashing indicator light showed that Carles'' mood was by no means calm. After a while, Carles ended the communication. She stood silently and didn''t make a sound for a long time. Daisy couldn''t help but ask: "Carles, what happened?" "Is there any news about the [King]?" "Yes." The sound coming from the sound-generating device was rather difficult, but Carles continued. "It has been determined that several legends just acted for the appearance of the [King]." "Um?" Alessio raised his eyebrows: "Operation for [King]? What does this mean?" "Isn''t it said that a powerful enemy has awakened in [the Far North]?" Carles paused and said. "That powerful enemy is the [King]." Hearing this, not only Daisy and her sister, but also Xia En couldn''t help but look shocked. What does this mean? Did the [King] become a living ship like the [Black Swan]? But even so, it shouldn''t attract the attention of so many powerful people, right? Or is it that a ship can actually reach the level of surpassing the eighth-level Mystic Path? Xia En calmed down and asked seriously: "What is going on?" Carles suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and explained to everyone. "According to battle reports from the front line, an unprecedented and terrifying undead has taken over the body of the [King] and turned the [King] into a part of its body." "Based on the characteristics observed now, it can be determined..." "That''s the undead soul of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" (End of chapter) Chapter 347 [Secret Technique of Mental Exercise] [J Chapter 347 [Secret Technique of Spiritual Training] [The Joy of Machine Soul] An undead. A red undead from the Great Yan Kingdom is wandering in the ice sea of ??the Far North. This is the information that Carles relayed to everyone at this time. Everyone fell into a brief silence, silently digesting the information revealed in the intelligence. "Wait a minute, but what are the undead souls of [Great Yan Kingdom]?" Daisy was shocked and puzzled, and couldn''t help but ask aloud. "Isn''t [Great Yan Kingdom] a dead country? How could it become an undead?" Carles responded: "I don''t know the specific reason, but according to frontline intelligence analysts..." "The undead souls of [Great Yan Kingdom] can be said to be the product of the collective consciousness of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]." "Those who died in the disaster and those who took the secret journey, the remaining consciousness and soul of each person may be very limited." "But when the remaining souls of all the citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom] gather together, when the emotions of pain, unwillingness, and resentment are mixed together..." "Coupled with the common identity of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], as well as certain changes that occurred in the past..." Carles said softly. "In this way, an undead named [Great Flame] was born." Hearing this, people couldn''t help but look shocked again. The secret travelers who can successfully reach the [Far North] can actually be regarded as the elite among the elite in [Seven Seas World]. But even they had never heard of such a deed, and even thought it was a bit fanciful. An undead composed of the souls of all members of the destroyed kingdom. In that catastrophe, no one knew how many people in the Great Yan Kingdom died directly. No one knows what kind of hatred and resentment they will have. Just imagining such an existence makes people feel a little creepy, and there is a chill in their backs. But Shane thought of another problem. The Great Yan Kingdom was not the only kingdom that was destroyed in the first great flood, but why was it that only the Great Yan Kingdom gave birth to such terrifying undead? He simply asked this question to others. Even Carles could not answer this. Jane was the calmest one among them. She thought about it and spoke. "I''ve heard of similar stories." "After a village was wiped out, a certain necromancer used some weird ritual to create an especially powerful and brutal ghost undead." "This undead named [Great Flame] was probably born under similar circumstances." Jane paused and continued. The conditions under which it was formed were definitely not that relaxed, and were even very strict. "So, not every country will give birth to such undead souls after its demise." "I suspect that when [Great Yan Kingdom] fell, something special must have happened." Hearing this, Xia En nodded in agreement. This coincided with his suspicion. Otherwise, wouldn''t [Seven Seas World] be filled with such terrifying super-large undead? However, what makes Xia En even more curious is what happened in the final stage of [Great Yan Kingdom]? Whether it''s the attitude of Princess Great Yan Bing, or the diluted and blurred memory of [Black Flame Walker], or the appearance of this undead [Great Flame]. All indicate that on the eve of the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom], some major changes were very likely to occur. It was this change that caused the seal of the Great Flood to be broken, causing the [Seven Seas World] to enter the "post-flood era." At this time, Daisy thought of another question. "Why is this undead possessing the [King]?" At the mention of the [King], Carles'' mood obviously dropped, but she still managed to cheer up. "The reason why the [King] disappeared is because when searching in the [Cold Sea], it happened to hit this undead that had just woken up." "And my father''s request for help was sent just before the [King] was possessed." "Maybe in the past few months, some kind of change has occurred, which completely integrated the [King] and [Great Yan] into one." Upon hearing this, Daisy immediately looked at her with concern. "Carles..." Xia En and others also immediately understood the reason why Carles was suddenly depressed and dazed. Now that the [King] has been possessed by [Great Flame], the people on that ship are obviously in bad luck. Even if Colonel Gold is a legendary strongman. But the strength of [Great Yan] is far beyond that of ordinary legends. Even strong men like Musa and Heller are no match for it. In other words, Colonel Gold has probably... The arrival of this information is undoubtedly heavy bad news for Carles! It is not difficult to understand her strange attitude. "Don''t worry, don''t worry about me." Carles puffed up his chest, looked around at everyone, and said, "I''m not that fragile." "Besides, my father may not have died." A chuckle came from her vocal device. "He''s actually better at protecting himself than you think." "However, I am determined." "I must go to the [King] that is possessed by [Great Flame] to find out. Whether my father is dead or alive, I have to personally witness it!" Alessio opened his mouth but stopped talking. He wanted to say that the [Great Flame] was a terrifying existence that even the legendary strong men could do nothing about. But when the words came to his lips, he realized that he had no position to persuade Carles to give up doing this. Thinking of this, Alessio looked at Shane with a slightly pleading look. In his opinion, if Xia Enlai could persuade him, Carles might be able to change his mind and not do such a thing that would lead to death. But at this time, Xia En spoke. "In that case, I would like to accompany you." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. "What?" "Captain Shane?!" Both Joey and Jane looked at Shane with surprised eyes. Carles raised his helmet sharply and looked straight at Xia En. "Don''t be so nervous." Shane explained: "The current [King] must be very dangerous." "But the legendary powerhouses of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are not in vain. Perhaps they will soon be able to find a way to safely enter the interior of the [King]." "Otherwise, if we can''t even solve this crisis, how can we prevent the second great flood from happening?" After listening, Joey and other crew members reluctantly accepted this statement. But even so, they can smell the strong danger behind this matter. Just daring to make such a promise to Carles is no longer something that ordinary people can do. On the side, Alessio''s eyes were particularly complicated. Probably until now, he didn''t understand why Carles chose Shane instead of himself. "You are a little tired today, so you should rest in the camp first." Soon, Carles ended the topic and said: "Captain Shane, can you stay for a moment?" "I have something to say to you." Xia En nodded and said, "Okay." Before leaving, Joey tugged on Shane''s sleeve: "Mr. Captain, remember to come back early." When he said this, Joey glared at Carles with his beautiful big eyes, as if he was declaring his sovereignty, and also as if he was warning the potential stealing cat. The corner of Xia En''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch. Forget about others, Carles is not even a human being at all! If Joey hears Shane''s thoughts, he will definitely say - "It''s just because you''re not a talented person that it''s more dangerous!" Not long after. Everyone else evacuated from this special barracks. Carles said: "Captain Shane, follow me." Shane didn''t think much and followed Carles into the steamy room. Compared with ordinary rooms, there are much more pipes laid here, and the heat is diffused throughout the room, which is completely white. Its hard to imagine that this is the coldest place in the world. "Sorry, in order to heal my injuries and maintain this high-load state, I asked them to increase the steam power." Carles''s voice came from the front: "If you feel uncomfortable, I can ask them to turn it down." Shane saw that with the contact with the white steam, the damaged areas on Carles'' body were repairing themselves at a slow speed. This is apparently the effect of those "holy vapors". Seeing this, Xia En waved his hand: "No need." "I can still bear this temperature." After bathing in dragon blood, plundering storms, and many other physical enhancements, Xia En''s body''s ability to withstand extreme weather is far beyond that of ordinary people. The temperature at this level is nothing at all. "That''s good." At this time, Carles'' figure was almost completely shrouded in fog, and only the sound came from the steam. "Actually, when I was young, my father and I were not close." "At that time, I had no human emotions, let alone the concepts of relatives, family, and father." "It can even be said that I was just a cold machine at that time. I had no other function except as a killing weapon." Through the steam, Shane couldn''t see Carles'' appearance, nor could he see the changes in the light under her helmet. Shane understood that Carlisle asked him to come here not because he wanted him to do something. But I just hope there is a listener who can listen to what she has to say. Thinking of this, Shane said nothing and listened to Carles'' story in silence. "Also because I am not a human being at all, when I was first created, I was often ostracized and ridiculed by other children." "Of course, I didn''t feel anything about it at that time, let alone feel sad or sad." "But every time, the father would chase the kids away and give them a scolding." "I once advised my father that there was no need to do this. I still remember his expression at that time. It was helpless with a touch of sadness." "He told me that when I start feeling sad about it, that''s when I will really grow up..." Carles spoke about the past events in a leisurely manner, allowing Shane to learn more about her and the legendary Colonel Gold. "One day later, I suddenly felt that those children who said bad things about me were so annoying." "It was only then that I gradually developed human emotions." "In the initial period of time, I could often sense other people''s strange looks, either fear, anxiety, or rejection." "Therefore, I also complained to my father about why he created me." "Father didn''t give me an answer." "But now, I seem to have found the answer myself." Shane asked, "What''s that answer?" "Probably, it''s to meet more people." Carles replied: "I can make friends like Daisy, and I can also meet you Shane - if I had not been created, all of this would not be possible, right?" So, its great to be born into this world! Suddenly, Carles changed the subject and said. "By the way, Xia En, I have a newly learned secret technique that can strengthen the spirit. Do you want to try it?" "The secret technique of mental training?" Xia En hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You can give it a try." "This secret technique requires two people to perform it. Just stand where you are and don''t move around." "good." laugh- Along with the sound of steam pressure releasing, Shane felt that Carles was approaching him. And Xia En was no stranger to this voice. Immediately, Carles hugged him from behind. Early next morning. Xia En walked out of the room refreshed. The coldness of the [Far North] seemed insignificant, and he ignored it easily. Although the process seems a bit strange, the [spiritual training technique] mentioned by Carles is indeed very effective. Xia En clearly felt that his mental power had increased and his control over the secret power had also improved. According to Carles, that secret technique comes from the [Church of Steam]. It was originally used for communication between steam priests and steam machinery, to awaken, appease, and please the machine soul, thereby improving the efficiency of steam machinery. And Carles was originally a soul born from the steam armor, so it was perfect for her to use this secret technique. One night of exercise completely made Carles "very happy." Shane even clearly felt that Carles'' condition had stabilized significantly, and at least he didn''t have to worry about collapsing during the battle. This is equivalent to the fact that the cultivation level previously improved with the "Magic Technique" has been consolidated. However, as soon as Shane walked out of the room, he saw Joey waiting for him at the door. With a look of suspicion on her pretty face, she asked: "Mr. Captain, what did you do last night?" (End of chapter) Chapter 348 Federal regular army, [War Mad Benny! 】 Chapter 348: Federal Regular Army, [War MadBenny! "Don''t worry, little sister, we didn''t do anything, we just chatted and exercised our mental strength." Before Xia En could speak, Carles''s voice came from behind. "Besides, with a body like mine, can I still do anything that men and women do?" Joey turned his head and looked at Carles who walked out of the door, and couldn''t help but widen his eyes slightly. In her eyes, there was a faint steam lingering on Carles'' body at this time, and a warm and moist breath hit her face. I wonder if it was her imagination. Carles'' appearance was clearly the same as yesterday, but his impression was completely different. Before, she always had an impatient and restless temperament, as if something was chasing her behind her. - In this regard, it is not difficult for Joey to understand that this must be the sense of urgency and pressure brought about by his father''s disappearance and this prophecy of annihilation. But now, after spending a night with Shane. Carles''s pressure was relieved, and her attitude was obviously relieved and relaxed. The body that was originally in danger due to forced modifications has also stabilized, allowing her to more easily control the power she possesses. Even the silver paint and components seem to have a new look and become more lustrous. Carlisle''s entire body has regained some of its former smooth beauty. It''s like a woman is moistened by rain and dew, and she looks particularly radiant. Thinking of this, Joey''s eyes became more suspicious and he thought to himself. "If nothing happened last night, how could there be such a big change in her?" It''s just like what Carles said. She has no human organs at all, and even if she wants to spend the night together like a normal man and woman, she can''t do it. Joey shook his head to dispel the suspicion in his mind and said instead. "By the way, Mr. Captain, when I got up in the morning, I saw some notices posted in the camp." "It seems that they are recruiting sixth-level mystics from all the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. They probably want to organize a special operation." In fact, this was the reason why Joey was waiting at the door of the barracks. She can still distinguish between big things and small things. Compared with personal emotional problems, it is obviously more important to solve the impending disaster. "Sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder... special operation?" Shane touched his chin. The sixth level is specially limited, obviously not without reason. The sixth level is the highest level under legend. In other words, the reason why the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] issued this order was probably because all the legendary powerhouses had already gone to carry out another important matter. If Xia En guessed correctly, it must be inseparable from the appearance of [Da Yan]. At this time, Joey bit his lip and asked. "Mr. Captain, do you want to participate in this special operation?" After thinking about it, Xia En said, "It''s hard to say." "It depends on what the operation is." "But if it is something crucial to solving the disaster, I will most likely participate." Although Xia En''s rank is only fifth level, in terms of real combat power, he is actually at the strongest level below the legend. Not to mention the lofty ideal of saving the world, in order to protect the [Black Swan], protect Joey, and for the people around him, Xia En also had reasons to take action. Joey was not surprised by the answer and murmured softly. "Sure enough...this is Mr. Captain." Shane rubbed Joey''s little head and said, "Don''t worry, you know, I never do anything I''m not sure about." Just then. A soldier walked in from outside, speaking vigorously. "Captain Carles, General Moritz asked you to go to the military headquarters to find him!" "Um?" Hearing this, Carles couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment. "General Moritz?" Xia En''s expression also changed slightly. He had heard of this name and knew that the other party was the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], and could also be said to be the highest representative of the federal navy''s will. This is a well-deserved big shot! Captain Carles'' military rank was nothing in front of this man. Now, why is Moritz looking for Carles? Is it because of Carlisles father, Colonel Gold? However, what surprised Xia En even more was that after looking around, the soldier''s eyes actually stayed on him. "Is this Captain Shane?" "General Moritz also asked you to come with him." "He has something important to discuss with you two." This soldier''s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, with a touch of respect in his tone, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. However, the content of his words made everyone present slightly shocked. Xia En was even more puzzled. Although he has done some deeds in [Lenglie Sea] and gained some fame. But in the eyes of a true legendary powerhouse, that is actually just a small fight. Still the same sentence - "If you don''t become a legend, you will always be an ant!" And since this General Moritz can become the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], his own strength aside, he must have several military legends under his command. When he came to Carles, he could still explain it as "Colonel Gold". But I want to see myself... This seems a bit weird. However, since General Moritz had extended the invitation, Shane had no reason to refuse. And if you think about it carefully, this general should have no malicious intentions. After all, this entire [Far North Expeditionary Force] is his territory. If Moritz had malicious intentions, I''m afraid Shane and others would have been arrested as soon as they entered the camp. on the other hand. Xia En also wanted to see what kind of person this commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] was. Shane nodded to Carles and expressed his wishes. Carles thought for a moment and said without much hesitation. "Okay, let''s go right away." The soldier who sent the message nodded when he heard this. "Okay, you two, please follow me." Later, under the leadership of this soldier. Xia En and the two walked through a group of barracks and walked towards the core area of ??the camp. Along the way, Xia En saw several secret travelers with strong aura being brought into a barracks, seemingly undergoing some kind of test and assessment. Come to think of it, this is what Joey said about summoning the sixth-level mystics. In addition, the style displayed by the federal navy also surprised Xia En. Among the officers who come and go, although there are fewer top secretaries, the overall rank is generally above the fourth level. Moreover, the closer to the center of the camp, the stronger the general aura of the soldiers became. Even Xia En saw two or three sixth-order powerhouses at a glance. What amazed Xia En the most was not the strong men in the army, but the certain atmosphere that enveloped the entire military camp. Even those lower-level soldiers with weaker strength have become part of this atmosphere, making the entire military camp operate in an efficient manner, like a whole. Simple, direct and efficient. Even to the point of being a little iron-blooded and indifferent. This is how Shane felt about revealing his military style to these soldiers. It seemed that... even those low-level soldiers could pose a certain threat to him. And when the number of soldiers reaches a certain number, such threats will be infinitely amplified. Xia En couldn''t help but suspect that there might be some unique joint attack secret technique and formation in the federal navy, which could integrate individual combat power into the collective, thus exerting the effect of "1+1 is greater than 1". "As expected of the regular army of the Federation." Xia En couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. In terms of morale, personal quality, and discipline...such a regular army is completely beyond the reach of ordinary pirates. Seeing this group of soldiers, Xia En completely understood Why now, no force can shake the status of the Seven Seas Federation. The Federation has definitely put a lot of effort into training and selecting its military. The military is the foundation of the Federation! And when this entire army is in operation, it will undoubtedly be like a huge iron-blooded steel beast, tearing apart all the enemies in front of it. Xia En was previously worried about the possible wave of [dirty creatures]. And after witnessing the demeanor of the army in front of him, he couldn''t help but feel relieved. "This is the First Army created by General Moritz himself, also known as the ''Iron-Blooded Army''." Carles introduced Xia En softly: "Those who can join the Iron-Blooded Army are all the elites in the army." "My father and I are members of the 7th Division of the Iron Blood Army." There was a touch of pride in Carles'' tone. Obviously, she has a strong sense of identification with the Iron Blood Army. Shane thought about it carefully and realized that Carles probably grew up in the Jagged Army, so he had special feelings for it. Just like this, while observing the scenery in the military camp, they chatted. Xia En and the two were taken to the core of the military camp. A particularly tall barracks stands here, and there are many strange equipment connected to the outside of the barracks. Obviously, this place is also used as the information processing center of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], used to transmit various intelligence and make timely decisions. And just walked to the door of the barracks. With a "bang", the door was pushed open forcefully. A muscular man with short hair and wearing only a tactical vest walked out angrily. "The old man is really stupid. The last spot should have been mine. Why..." Seeing this man, Xia En raised his eyebrows. Being able to wear only such a thin vest in the severe cold environment of [the Far North] is a symbol of strength in itself. Even so, Xia En even saw the heat rising from his body surface, filled with a strong vitality. Xia En surprisingly felt familiar with this power. This is very similar to the "power of blood" he mastered after bathing in dragon blood. one share This man is definitely a strong man who has trained his body to an outstanding level! However, his angry attitude and words surprised Xia En. After all, all the soldiers I saw along the way were extremely disciplined, serious and serious. But this man acted extremely reckless, still complaining about something, and seemed out of place with the other soldiers. Moreover, in this case, no other officers spoke out to stop it. This shows Perhaps this man''s identity is very special? What does the "quota" he refers to mean? However, despite seeing this information, Xia En did not intend to meddle in others'' affairs. What is more important right now is the meeting with General Moritz. However, after Xia En looked back, the shirtless man noticed them and said with squinted eyes. "Carles?" Seeing this man, Carles'' attitude was unusually cold and he spoke in a distant tone. "Hello, Major Benny." "If nothing happens, we''ll leave first. General Moritz is still waiting for us." After that, she led Xia En towards the barracks. "etc." The man known as "Major Benny" had no intention of letting them go so easily. He walked up to Carles and others, and his eyes quickly fell on Xia En who was standing aside. "You said you were looking for the old man, which means..." "Are you that Shane?" "Major Benny..." The officer leading the way stepped forward and tried to persuade Benny. But Benny said stiffly: "I have something to say to him, please don''t meddle in his own business." After hearing these words, Xia En frowned. The "old man" Benny calls is actually Moritz? Combined with the strange attitudes of Carles and other officers, it was not difficult for him to guess that there might be some kind of special relationship between Benny and Moritz? Thoughts were racing in his heart, but Xia En''s face remained calm and he responded calmly. "It''s me." "What do you want from me?" "hehe" Benny sneered: "Although I don''t know how you took away my spot, among the Secret Pathers, strength speaks for itself after all." "Tomorrow at noon, I will challenge you. I hope... you won''t disappoint me too much." "Benny!" Carles glared at Benny angrily. But the other party ignored him and turned around and left after saying this. Steal a spot? challenge? To be honest, Shane was still a little confused and didn''t understand why Benny suddenly came to him. But he has never been a soft persimmon who can be rubbed around. Therefore, Xia En simply said loudly. "Since you want to challenge me, why wait until tomorrow?" "How about now, right here?" Hearing this, the expression of the officer leading the way suddenly changed. "Captain Shane?!" The red light under Carles'' mask also flickered slightly, transmitting sound to Shane''s ears at a special frequency. "This Major Benny is the grandson of General Moritz and a sixth-level secret pather." "All the sixth-level secret path practitioners in the army have been challenged by him, and he has even won twenty consecutive victories. He has always been known as a "war mad" in the army." "Many people in the army are also very dissatisfied with his style, but because he has made several outstanding military exploits and is the grandson of General Moritz... no one can do anything to him." "However, if it''s you, Captain Shane, you should be able to win this battle..." After hearing these words, Shane also learned more about this Benny. At this time, after hearing Xia En''s words clearly, Benny was so angry that he laughed. He showed his pale teeth, his face looked ferocious, his body surface turned red, and white steam rose up. "Hahahahaha..." "You alone dare to challenge me?" "He''s just a savage pirate! In that case, let me make it happen..." Just as Benny was rising more and more white gas. A stern voice suddenly sounded. "That''s enough! Benny, back off!" (End of chapter) Chapter 349 【General Moritz】【Infiltration Operation】 Chapter 349 [General Moritz] [Infiltration Operation] As this fierce and majestic voice sounded. The venue suddenly became quiet, and there was silence everywhere. Even Benny, who was arrogant and domineering just now, honestly shut his mouth and only dared to curl his lips to express his dissatisfaction. Walking out of the barracks was an old man in military uniform with a majestic air. This old man has a short, white beard. Judging from his facial features and appearance, he is actually quite amiable, making him think of the best-tempered teacher in school. However, combined with the invisible coercion and temperament on his body, it gave people a feeling of calm and self-power. That is the temperament infiltrated by holding power for a long time. It can also be said that it is the so-called magnanimity of a superior person. The strange thing is that judging from his skin and eyebrows, this man is probably only in his forties. But he gives people an "old" feeling inexplicably, making people subconsciously think that he is an old man. It''s like... his vitality is much weaker than that of normal people? The aura of this old man even surprised Xia En. He not only has the unique seventh-level coercion of a legendary powerhouse, but he also gives people the feeling that he is not much stronger than a sixth-level mystic. The sense of threat that the other party brought to Shane was not even much different from that of Benny. Something to say. The old man seemed to have suffered some kind of injury that would never heal. And that hidden injury is still tormenting him to this day, preventing him from displaying his full strength. But even so, whether it was the soldier leading the way, Carles, or the soldiers around him, they all looked at the old man with awe and admiration. Obviously, he is the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] General Moritz! "General!" The soldiers lowered their heads and saluted the famous old general. The officer leading the way looked even more ashamed: "Sorry, General, I was negligent..." Moritz waved his hand: "It''s not your fault." He turned to look at Benny who was not far away and said in a stern tone. "Benny, apologize to Captain Shane!" Hearing this, Benny felt more like a dynamite barrel being detonated, and said angrily. "You want me to apologize to a pirate?" "Have you forgotten who killed my parents?" He grinned and sneered and said to himself: "Oh yes, you have forgotten all about it." "Otherwise you wouldn''t agree to let pirates join the [Far North Expeditionary Force]..." Snap! Suddenly, a crisp slap sounded. Moritz came to Benny at some point, and a clear slap mark gradually appeared on Benny''s face. "you" Benny''s eyes widened and his face turned red visibly. He took a few steps back and glared angrily at Moritz, Shane and the others. "No matter what, I will not allow this pretty boy, who is only at level 5, to take away my spot!" After that, he turned around and left. Everyone was unprepared for this series of changes, and the soldiers looked at Moritz in surprise. General Moritz always treated Benny harshly, but this was the first time he had been slapped in public like this! This kind of move can be said to completely disregard Major Benny''s face, and may even lead to a complete break between the grandfather and grandson. "General Moritz..." Carles looked at the old man in front of him with concern. "Don''t worry, I''m fine." There was a hint of bitterness on Moritz''s face, but in the blink of an eye, this bitterness was hidden under the majesty. Then, he looked at Xia En on the other side and said apologetically. "I''m sorry, Captain Shane, you have seen a farce." "Please come with me." Soon, Shane and Carles followed Moritz to a room in the barracks. As soon as he walked into the door, Moritz''s straight back suddenly stooped a little, and he looked as if he had aged by more than ten years. It was like the posture he showed in front of other soldiers was just his disguise. Only in this room with only three people could Moritz temporarily relieve himself of the burden and show his true side. After Moritz sat on the chair, he motioned for Shane and the two of them to sit down as well, and then smiled. "It made you two laugh." "The commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is actually such a depressed old man. He must have disappointed you, right?" His tone was very gentle, completely different from the previous Benny, like a gentle elder talking to his juniors. But even so, Xia En didn''t have any contempt in his heart. He didn''t think that the person who could become the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] would really be a depressed old man. The "old" attitude shown by Moritz at this time is probably true, but it may also be a means of communication. Show your vulnerable side so that people can let down their guard and relax their vigilance. However, whether it is true or disguised, the fact that a big man like Moritz is willing to talk to the two of them in this manner is a sign of sincerity in itself. Therefore, Xia En was willing to communicate with him in a more sincere manner. So Xia En said: "To be honest, I don''t feel disappointed, but a little surprised." "You seem to be different from ordinary soldiers." Moritz chuckled: "Captain Shane''s vision is indeed extraordinary." "Actually, I didn''t come from an orthodox military school. I was just a school teacher in the past. It was only because of an accident that I embarked on the road to the military." I didnt expect that I would end up where I am today. Hearing this, Xia En was quite surprised. But this also explains why Moritz has a different temperament from other soldiers. "It''s a pity that although I was a teacher, I can''t even teach my own grandson well." Moritz sighed, then stood up and said solemnly. "Please allow me to apologize to you for Benny''s rude behavior just now!" Seeing this scene, Xia En was surprised again. It is actually very rare for a person of Moritz''s stature to be willing to apologize personally. It can be seen that his character is actually very serious and frank. Looking back at the unreasonable, irritable and irritable Benny... This can only be said to be unfortunate for the family, right? Shane could imagine how Moritz had apologized to others time and time again after getting into trouble for Benny. Seemingly sensing Shane''s thoughts, Moritz spoke. "Actually, Benny will become what he is now, and I do have an unshirkable responsibility." "His parents died early, and I was busy with military affairs, so I didn''t see him a few times a year." Moritz''s tone was filled with shame: "When I teach him, I always teach him as harshly as I would scold my subordinates." "Probably because of the so-called rebellious psychology, he became more and more repulsive to my discipline..." Xia En was not surprised by this. The education of future generations has always been a big problem. Like a certain big shot in the previous life, didn''t he also make news about "having children"? Perhaps, it is precisely because of his extraordinary status that it becomes difficult to educate his children. But to be honest, Xia En is not very interested in other people''s family affairs. What he cared more about was the "quota" Benny mentioned and Moritz''s purpose in finding the two of them. After all, the fact that Moritz came to find him was filled with great weirdness. Moritz continued speaking unhurriedly. "The reason why the child is hostile to you is partly because his parents died at the hands of pirates." "So he had a disdain for all pirates, or anyone who had ever been a pirate." At this point, Moritz changed the subject. "But I know that Captain Shane is not a pirate in the true sense." "I''ve seen Captain Shane''s past achievements. He basically took action for self-protection and revenge, right?" Moritz stared at Shane with slightly cloudy eyes. It was only then that a sharp light flashed under those eyes, giving Xia En an inexplicable feeling that his heart had been penetrated. Xia En frowned and said seriously. "General Moritz, what exactly do you want us to do when you call us here?" "Please just say it." Moritz said: "You should have heard that another reason why Benny wants to challenge you is the so-called ''quota''." "It''s just that that quota is by no means something that people are eager for and can improve their strength." "On the contrary, it was an extremely dangerous operation that could even lead to a narrow escape from death." Xia En had some suspicion in his mind, but still asked. "What action?" Moritz said seriously: "The action of sneaking into the body of the [King] or... [Great Flame]!" "What?!" Carles next to him couldn''t help but exclaimed. Although Carles had previously wanted to go to the King to find her father Gord, she was still extremely shocked when this opportunity was actually presented to her. After the shock, came confusion and confusion. Carles couldn''t help but ask: "But isn''t [Great Yan]''s realm higher than that of legend?" "On our own, even if we sneak into His body, we can really..." "rest assured." Moritz explained aloud: "Of course we will not let you die." "The power of [Great Flame] has been personally experienced by several legendary powerhouses." "And now we have concluded that..." "If you want to eliminate [Great Flame] in a frontal battle, you must sacrifice at least two-thirds of the legendary powerhouses in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]!" The general''s tone was extremely serious, and he finally showed some iron-bloodedness of a soldier. "If it''s only one-third, we might choose to storm." "But right now, this number of sacrifices is unacceptable to us." "Because besides [Great Flame], there are other enemies waiting for us." "At the moment, [Great Flame]''s desire to attack is not very strong. It will just mercilessly devour all beings that are close to it." After hearing these words, Xia En probably understood the special nature of [Great Flame]. To the [Far North Expeditionary Force], [Great Flame] is equivalent to a large mine that is constantly accumulating. Ignoring it for the time being may not cause much damage in a short period of time. But as time goes by, this landmine will become more and more dangerous, until the day it is completely detonated. Therefore, the strategy of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is to find another way, not to detonate the mines from the front, but to defuse the bombs from the side. Or at least make it less harmful. Moritz continued: "Now, [Great Flame] has been fixed in place by several legendary strong men using secret techniques, and will no longer move at will." "Take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in and destroy his key nodes." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized that the recruitment notice issued in the military camp was probably for this operation. But soon, Carles noticed something else. "But why did you choose us?" "Wouldn''t the success rate be higher if legendary powerhouses are involved in the action?" Moritz looked bitter: "If this is true, we won''t have to recruit people from the [Far North Expeditionary Force] anymore." "Although [Great Flame]''s perception is slower than that of ordinary humans, it also has an intuition for danger." "Secretists of the seventh level and above will be locked and expelled by His will just by getting close to Him, let alone going deep into His body." "Only those with a secret path who have not yet reached the seventh level can enter His body." "The reason why this operation is called ''infiltration operation'' is also related to this." "Even the sixth-level Secret Pathers have a limit on their number. This is what the so-called ''quota'' means." Obviously, all the secret path practitioners below the seventh level are regarded as ants by [Great Yan], so they will not arouse his vigilance. After these doubts were answered, both Shane and Carles looked enlightened. I have a deeper understanding of the entire incident. From this perspective, Benny knows that this is an extremely dangerous task, but he still has to compete with Shane for this spot. It can be seen that he also sincerely wants to solve this disaster and has a certain spirit of sacrifice. Xia En had looked down on him before. But even so, Shane has no intention of giving up this spot. Just because... he is stronger than Benny and more likely to eliminate the hidden danger of [Great Flame]! At this time, Moritz''s eyes fell on Carles and he said with a soft attitude. "The reason why you are included in the list is because we found that Gord seemed to have left some messages inside [Great Yan]." "Probably only you can decipher and receive those messages." "But, I still have to ask you, are you willing to participate in this operation?" Carles said without hesitation: "I do!" "Whether it''s as a soldier or as a daughter, this is what I should do." "That''s good." Moritz turned to look at Shane again. "Captain Shane, your situation is different from Carles." "Although I have included you on the list, you can also refuse this operation." "After all, this is too dangerous. No one can guarantee that the mysterious person who enters the body of [Great Flame] can come back alive." "Are you...sure you want to accept this mission?" Xia En said calmly: "I''m sure." Regardless of the promise he made with Carles, isn''t it that he came all the way to the [Ultra North] just to prevent the world-destroying disaster? Do you have to retreat when you encounter danger now? How can there be such truth! (End of chapter) Chapter 350 【Old Daily Fire】 Chapter 350 [Old Days of Fire] After hearing Shane''s answer and seeing the determination in the man''s expression, Moritz''s eyes flashed with appreciation. He sighed: "He is indeed the person chosen by King Salary." "Captain Xia En, congratulations on passing the last assessment." Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. "Salary King? Assessment?" Soon, Xia En suddenly came to his senses. He had previously been curious about how Moritz knew the name of a little person like himself. Now that I think about it, it is obviously related to King Xin! only "The person chosen by King Xin?" Xia En''s expression was a little strange. Why is this statement so strange? at the same time. Moritz had no intention of becoming the Riddler, so he took the initiative to explain to Shane. "In fact, the reason why I put you on the list for this operation is precisely because of King Xin''s recommendation." "He even said" "''If there is any Mystic below Legend who can solve this hidden danger, it can only be Captain Shane.''" There was a hint of surprise in Moritz''s tone. "This is the first time I have heard such a comment from King Xin." "To be precise, throughout history, there are very few people who can be evaluated like this by King Xin, right?" Xia En couldn''t help but be a little surprised, thinking to himself. "Yan Yan...is this how you see me?" Moritz glanced at Shane and spoke seriously. "Originally I had some doubts about this statement." "However, after seeing Captain Xia En with my own eyes, I can somewhat understand the reason why King Xin said this." Shane did not continue the topic, but asked directly. "Yan...oh no, where is King Xin now?" "Can I go see him?" Whether it was the disappeared memories of the [Black Flame Walkers], or the reasons for the anger of those shelters and Dark Ice, there were many doubts piling up in Xia En''s heart. And probably only Yan Yan can give him the answers to these questions. But at this time. Moritz shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, King Xin is now on the front line against [Great Flame]." "Actually, we can temporarily block [Great Yan] in place, mainly relying on the power of King Xin." "Even the entire infiltration plan was proposed by King Xin." Having said this, Moritz sighed slightly ashamed. "It''s obviously a crisis of our generation, but it has to be solved by the kings of the old era. It''s really shameful." "However, King Xin must also have some special feelings for [Great Yan] who has become an undead..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. [Dayan Kingdom] is a kingdom founded by King Xin. Those who died were all the people of King Xin. At this time, the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] turned into an undead wandering on the ice sea, and even King Xin had to find ways to eliminate it. Just imagining this kind of mood made Xia En feel heavy and a little distressed. Is this the pain Yan Yan must bear after regaining his memory? It''s no wonder that before Yan Yan''s memory truly awakened, he would often show such a lonely expression. If possible, Xia En still hopes that Yan Yan will always be Yan Yan, instead of being the salary king with a painful past. "Sorry, I accidentally went too far." Moritz''s voice pulled Shane''s thoughts back from his memories. "By the way, King Xin also asked me to hand over something to you, which seems to be helpful for your advancement in rank." With that said, Moritz took out a palm-sized wooden box from his arms and handed it to Shane. There are dark red lines on the wooden box that look like flames and blood, with a high temperature. Xia En was quite familiar with the aura on it. This is the secret power of flame that belongs to Yan Yan. Moreover, Xia En also had an intuition that the things in this wooden box would help him take a big step on the secret path! Moritz added: "I suggest you open this box in a quiet and safe environment." "It would be bad if King Xin''s kindness was wasted." Shane nodded: "I will." "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Moritz looked at Shane gently, like an elder who had high hopes for his descendants. "As long as I know anything, I can answer it for you." After thinking for a moment, Xia En asked: "What is your realm..." He was really curious about the strange aura on Moritz''s body. After hearing this, Moritz also answered frankly: "If you insist on saying so, I should be regarded as a pseudo-legend, right?" "I once reached the rank of legend, but in a certain battle, I suffered an injury that will never heal." "Not only is my vitality severely damaged, but my rank has also fallen, and I will be unable to make any progress for the rest of my life." "But even so, after all, I have seen the scenery above the legend, and I also have some means to fight against the legend." Xia En nodded clearly: "That''s it." Moritz continued: "The steward lady on your ship actually falls into the category of ''pseudo-legendary''." "But unlike the situation where I can''t make any progress, Ms. Jane just doesn''t want to break through." Xia En''s eyes opened slightly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn''t expect that Moritz would actually mention Jane''s name. And from his tone, it''s not difficult to tell that he and Jane seem to be very familiar with each other? only What does it mean not to want to break through? Moritz saw Shane''s surprise and explained. "Actually, I am an old friend of Ms. Jane. I visited her several times when she was working in the Federal Library." Hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of the rumors about Jane on [Liu Li Island] - There were children of federal figures who got angry because of Jane''s cold attitude, and were eventually taken to the library by their parents to admit their mistakes. Now the case is solved! With such a general as an old friend, how could an ordinary dandy make any waves? Thinking further, is Jane''s only old friend Moritz really the only one? After thinking about Musa from before, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little emotional. This is the benefit of living long enough! Do you know what connections are? "Ms. Jian back then was so magnificent that she impressed the hearts of many young people in [Liu Li Island]." There was a look of reminiscence in Moritz''s eyes. Then, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I also pursued Ms. Jian back then, but in the end I was ruthlessly rejected." Moritz looked at Shane with a strange look of envy. "So, after knowing that Ms. Jian actually followed a young boy out of the big library and boarded a pirate ship." "My mood is quite complicated." Shane: "..." Hearing this, he couldn''t help but be curious. How powerful was Jane back then? Even big shots like Moritz and Moussa were impressed by her charm. Moritz spoke again: "As for why Ms. Jane is unwilling to break through the realm of legend, you should ask her yourself." After ending the topic, Moritz spoke extremely candidly. "To be honest, the Federation chose me as the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] mainly because they wanted to take advantage of my reputation and prestige." "Thereby deploying and commanding several major armies. If the generals were replaced by generals from other armies, I''m afraid there would be some conflicts due to military merit and competition for power." When mentioning this matter, Moritz''s attitude suddenly became serious. "Actually, I found that there are some overly optimistic voices in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], especially in the federal regular army." "They believe that this expedition will definitely be successful, and they have even begun to think about what will happen after the victory and prepare to divide the military achievements." "Confidence is certainly a good thing, but blind confidence becomes arrogance." Shane was also infected by Moritz''s attitude and seriously thought about this issue. Thinking about it carefully, as he walked along, he did feel that there was a less tense atmosphere in the army. After hearing what Moritz said, Shane realized the seriousness of the matter. The federal regular army is powerful, but precisely because of their strength, it has been too long since they have faced an opponent who fought with all their strength. Take the previous dispute between the three major esoteric religions as an example. Federal officials have always been on the sidelines and have not really taken any action. Even so, the three secret sects have never launched an attack on the federal navy. From this point, we can also see the strength of the federal regular army. In the eyes of many soldiers, the seemingly vigorous dispute between the three religions is just a small fight. As time goes by, the self-confidence in the army will become more and more swollen. On the side, Carles nodded slightly and agreed with this statement. Moritz paused and then continued. "Actually, this trend is particularly prominent among young people." "And my grandson Benny is one of the leaders of the Young Boys." Xia En was slightly startled. Another question he wanted to ask before was how to deal with Benny''s provocation. -After all, judging from Benny''s attitude, it is obvious that he has no intention of giving up. Shane didn''t expect that Moritz would actually mention this matter himself. Moritz looked at Shane seriously. "Frankly speaking, I, an old man, do have some selfish motives of my own." "My son and daughter-in-law all died on the battlefield, so I don''t want Benny to follow their same path." His conversation changed. "However, I also understand that it is the fate of a soldier to die in battle." "If Benny wins this spot on his own merit, I won''t stop him." "Captain Shane, I hope you can accept Benny''s challenge, not for the sake of the quota, but to wake him up." "It also makes those overconfident soldiers understand that there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains." After saying that, Moritz stood up and bowed deeply to Shane under the shocked gaze of Carles. "Please!" Shane subconsciously wanted to avoid this bow, but found that his body seemed to be bound by some invisible force, and he could only accept Moritz''s bow. Wait until Moritz straightens his back again. Xia En couldn''t help but have a wry smile on his face: "General, are you so confident in me?" If he lost to Benny in the end, wouldn''t Moritz''s attitude and words at this time become a joke? Moritz smiled confidently. "To be precise, what I believe is not you, but mine and King Xin''s vision!" Xia En was immediately speechless. Boom! At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Moritz frowned and said, "Come in." The person who pushed the door open was an anxious soldier. He reported directly: "General, not far from the [Far North Expeditionary Force] camp, a legendary monster appeared!" "Come so fast!" Moritz''s eyes were focused, but he did not appear panicked. Instead, he picked up the military cap on the table and put it on his head leisurely. His movements were meticulous. At the same time, his temperament quickly changed. In the blink of an eye, that gentle and approachable temperament disappeared, replaced by a fierce and iron-blooded atmosphere. The slightly rickety back was once again as straight as a big gun. Just standing there, he exuded a sharp aura, and the murderous aura overflowed and hit his face, making it impossible to ignore. It was not until this moment that Xia En truly got to know the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]! After hesitating, Xia En asked, "Do you need our help?" Moritz waved his hand: "Your first priority now is to prepare for infiltration operations." "As for the safety of the camp, you don''t need to worry because..." "I will take action!" With that said, Moritz walked towards the door. Before stepping out of the door, Moritz looked back at Shane and said seriously. "The future belongs to you young people." "Now, let an old guy like me fight for you one more time." After watching Moritz leave. Xia En also felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Not for Benny''s challenge, but for this infiltration operation. Dive into the body of a being beyond legend. This kind of thing is extremely dangerous just by imagining it. For ordinary secret travelers, the possibility of surviving successfully is very slim. Xia En does have a hidden escape route, which is the [Rhine Secret Realm], but it cannot be ruled out In [Great Flame]''s body, the light gate of [Empty Beast Heart Seal] is restricted and cannot be opened. So, try to think about the worst-case scenario. So, it must be extremely difficult to solve the [Great Flame] from the inside and leave its body alive. Even Xia En doesn''t have much confidence. What he can do now is to improve his strength as much as possible. It would be great if he could be promoted to level six before the action started. Out of trust in Moritz, Shane really didn''t care about the legendary [Filthy Creature] that appeared over there, nor did he care about the safety of the camp. Instead, after returning to his room, he entered the [Rhine Secret Realm]. A new cabin was built where he usually retreated. That''s where Feiya practices. Feeling the steadily increasing atmosphere in the hut, Xia En put aside his worries and walked to another house. Wait until your mood gradually calms down. Shane opened the dark red wooden box handed over by Moritz. laugh- The moment the wooden box is opened. A ball of fire suddenly jumped out. The rich and vital secret power suddenly spread out, like a spring breeze blowing on the face, making Xia En feel refreshed. At the same time, the secret power in his body seemed to be stimulated by this force, gradually becoming restless and even boiling! The scene in front of me also suddenly changed. Before the light and shadow flickered, he only saw a name on the panel Old daily salary fire! (End of chapter) Chapter 351 The life experience of King Xin! A flash Chapter 351 The life experience of King Xin! A flashback of history! [Old Daily Fire]? What is that? Before Xia En could think any more, the brilliant firelight completely overwhelmed his vision. The color of the fire was unlike any flame he had ever seen. It looks like just white, but in fact it seems to be a mixture of countless colors, finally forming a white form. If I had to say it, this is probably the so-called "colorful white." The next moment. The grand bells of a church echoed in Xia En''s mind, and scenes of wonderful scenes slowly unfolded before his eyes. The steel warships galloping on the ice sea dispersed from the torrent; Countless approaching ships departed in reverse; Glaciers and sea levels continue to decline, and the entire ice sea has returned to its former deserted state... Seeing this, Xia En was greatly shocked. These scenes seem to be scenes that can only happen if time goes back in the Far North. In other words, this is a rewind of history! ? Obviously, this scrolling scene is not just the period from "the prophecy of the great flood came out" to the present. The sun rises and falls, the clouds roll and relax in the sky, the ocean tides rise and fall, the ice layers separate and close... Time keeps moving towards older years. As the flood subsided and the sea level dropped, a vast land appeared in Xia En''s eyes. On that land was a ruin shrouded in raging fire. The land is devastated and scorched. Then, the flames disappeared, and the outline of [Great Yan Kingdom] at its peak came into Xia En''s field of vision. Immediately, the city turned into scattered villages and then into a desolate wilderness. The first residents, known as the "sinful people", were exiled to this bitter cold land... From now to the past, endless images washed through Shane''s consciousness. And unknowingly, Xia En felt extremely surging heat around his body, as if he was in an extremely high temperature environment. Shane looked back. Endless blazing red broke into his eyes. The rock walls illuminated by the fire, the uneven rocks, the gray gas that continues to escape, and... the gurgling magma! Almost instantly, Xia En recognized his surroundings. here it is The deepest part of a volcano! Suddenly, Xia En felt something in his heart and looked towards the magma below. I saw a human baby lying in the flowing hot magma! His body surface is covered with countless dark red lines, which flicker in and out of the magma, as if they are absorbing nutrients from the volcano. "He is... Yan Yan?" "This is the volcano where Yan Yan was born?" A guess arose in Xia En''s mind, and what made his heart beat suddenly was... At this moment, the baby lying in the magma suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him intently! In those dark red eyes, Xia En could not see any human emotions. Some are just an indescribable indifference. If you really want to say it, it seems to be the attitude of gods towards human beings and those who are like ants. It can even be said that Xia En saw something in this little baby... Divinity! It was only then that Xia En suddenly realized something he had ignored before. The legend that King Xin was born from a volcano is not a secret in the Seven Seas. But most people only regard this as a manifestation of Wang Xin''s "innate sanctity", but do not think deeply about the reasons behind it. But now, when Xia En saw the newborn Yan Yan with his own eyes, he came to a guess - Yan Yan might not be a real human being at all! He may be a projection of a **** or some other strange existence in the [Secret Sea] in the [Seven Seas World]. Only in order to adapt to the environment of this world, we chose to grow and exist as humans. This can also explain the [divine nature] carried by Yan Yan at this time, as well as his immortality characteristics and the secret power of fire that transcend common sense. Of course, this is just Xia En''s guess, and we can''t make a conclusion yet. At the same time, many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. The baby in the magma has undergone some strange changes. The indifferent [divinity] in him is quickly dissipating, replaced by human nature. The little face even frowned, making an expression that looked like confusion and thinking. As for these expressions, Xia En unexpectedly felt that they were somewhat similar. Soon, he came to his senses - The reason why he felt similar was because the baby was imitating his own expression at this time! Likewise, what the baby simulates is the divinity in Shane. Realizing this, Xia En''s heart once again set off a huge wave. What he was in now was clearly just a reflection of history. He is just a bystander looking back at history. In theory, Shane should be unable to interfere with these historical events. So, is the baby imitating his actions just an illusion, or is it something that actually happened in the past? Could it be said that when Yan Yan was first born, he had seen his future self and thus initially possessed some humanity? But, how is this possible? In any case, this speculation is a bit too shocking. Even Xia En found it extremely incredible. But at this time, the changes in front of Xia En did not end. As the magma surges, the stagnant time rolls forward again. The little baby closed its eyes again, and its body gradually shrank, then shrank again... He went from baby to embryo to... A flame? Yes, it is a cluster of milky white flames! The moment he saw the flames, Xia En thought of the wooden box he opened earlier. The flame that jumped out of the wooden box was from the same source as this flame. "So, this is Yan Yan''s true form?" Xia En murmured to himself: "The flame he gave me was actually a wisp of his original fire?" "But why would he do this?" At this time, the words that Xia En could not see clearly resurfaced again. Old Daily Fire [Quality: Myth] [Type: unknown] [Description: A ray of fire from the depths of the "Secret Sea". [It was born in the earliest years when the "Secret Sea" was opened, and originated from the first civilization in the "Secret Sea"! [That period of untraceable, dark, ancient times is called - the old days! [The use of flame is a symbol of civilization. [The desire for fire is the yearning for civilization. [Before being swallowed by darkness, as long as there is a ray of fire passed down, this civilization will not be completely destroyed. [The firepower is passed down from generation to generation and never ends. After reading these descriptions, Xia En was shocked again. "Mythical" qualities don''t even seem to matter in the face of these descriptions. Xia En suspected that the reason why the quality of this [Old Day Fire] is "mythical" is not because its quality is only mythical, but because the upper limit of the quality of the items on the panel is mythical! "The ancient era when [Secret Sea] was opened...the old days?" "The first civilization born in the [Secret Sea]..." "The fire that has been passed down countless times?" Xia En murmured in shock. "So, is this the true origin of Yan Yan?" Xia En had guessed before that Yan Yan''s true identity must be unusual. It was only when he truly knew Yan Yan''s origins that he realized that his previous guesses were still too conservative. "It''s just, what does it mean to be...''swallowed by darkness''?" Soon, Shane noticed something else. The civilization in [Secret Sea] is definitely stronger than the civilization in [Seven Seas World]. But even these civilizations seem to encounter some kind of terrible disaster, causing the civilization to be swallowed by "darkness". And the remaining "fire" of these civilizations can only escape to other [secret realms] like the spaceships in the "Spark Project" in science fiction works. Come to think of it, Yan Yan came to the [Seven Seas World] precisely because of this. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. "So, wouldn''t Yan Yan be considered an alien... Oh no, should I say an outsider? An alien god?" However, regardless of Yan Yan''s true identity, in Xia En''s heart, he will always be a crew member on his ship. Moreover, Yan Yan himself may have long regarded himself as a person in this world and the salary king of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Only then will he try his best to save this world that is targeted by [Huisi Ming]. Without waiting for Xia En to think more. That mysterious and unique secret power once again burst out from the [Old Fire of the Day] in front of him. This time, Xia En felt a sudden sense of weightlessness. My consciousness and soul are constantly falling. Until a certain invisible but real barrier is broken through. Xia En is already very familiar with this feeling. This is the sign of diving into the [Secret Sea]. Sure enough, when Xia En opened his eyes again, what he saw was the deep sea full of stars and light marks. To be honest, no matter how many times I have seen it, Xia En will always be amazed by this sight every time I witness this vast and mysterious [Secret Sea]. That feeling is probably similar to the shock when humans look up at the stars for the first time, right? But soon, Xia En realized that the sinking feeling was far from gone. His body seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, constantly approaching an illusory light bubble in the [Secret Sea]. It was a little different from the light bubbles I had seen before. This light bubble appeared to flicker on and off, giving people an unreal feeling. In the blink of an eye. Xia En ran headlong into the bubble of light. What appears below is a vast and boundless continent. On the mainland, there are tall spiers emitting blue-purple light. Those spiers are unusually high, with spiers hundreds of meters or thousands of meters high. It is inlaid with some kind of special energy crystal. Shane saw some kind of power similar to magic energy from the crystal. In the steeple, there are countless people who look like magicians, working hard. Xia En couldn''t help but think of the so-called "Mage Tower." And the civilization in this [Secret Realm] seems to be supported by these mage towers. Xia En stood above the sky, like an observer, silently watching the evolution of this civilization. Seeing new minarets being built one after another, ancient minarets being destroyed, and the strange patterns carved on the minarets becoming more advanced and mysterious. The owners of the spire also often fought against each other. The most serious war spread to almost the entire continent and destroyed at least 70% of the "Mage Towers." But then, new spiers were re-established, and new strong men stood on top of the world again. Civilization found new life in its destruction. However, one day suddenly. The world is dark. It was very simple and dark without any warning. From then on, the sky never lit up again. Disaster has struck. Without any precautions, darkness and severe cold claimed the lives of 50% of the world''s civilians in a short period of time. And then The darkness becomes thicker and thicker, and more and more people die in the darkness. In the end, the darkness even blocked the sight of Shane, the observer, preventing him from peeking into this civilization. At this time, Xia En also suddenly woke up. What he saw was actually not the real [Secret Realm], but the afterimage left after the destruction of this [Secret Realm]. In other words, this is just a piece of history that happened in the past. Just like the starlight that people see when they look up at the sky, some of the starlight may have traveled countless light years to reach the earth. The stars as their own bodies may have been destroyed long ago. The scene that Xia En saw at this time was the light projected from the destroyed star. After figuring this out, Xia En''s body returned to the deep [Secret Sea]. The illusory bubble of light before disappeared completely like a bubble. Suddenly this time. A line of prompts flashed on the panel. [Career compatibility +10%! Xia En suddenly came back to his senses and couldn''t help but look happy. Yes. If he wants to improve his suitability for the profession [Secret Sea Walker], he must keep traveling through the [Secret Sea]. Some time ago, Xia En had been using [Deep Sea Diving] to go to [The Furnace Secret Realm]. It''s just that the improved compatibility of the same [Secret Realm] continues to decrease as the number of times he visits increases. This is why Xia En has been unable to reach the threshold of the sixth level promotion ritual. And the current [Old Daily Fire] is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Xia En has realized that the sights the "Old Fire" took him to see and the "Secret Realm" he went to were actually its past history and the way it came. Just what the description says. [Old Day Fire] carries more than just one or two civilizations. Sure enough. In the blink of an eye, a pulling force similar to before came from the [Secret Sea]. Another illusory bubble of light, getting closer and closer to Xia En. Later, Xia En followed the path that the [Old Fire] took and came to one destroyed [Secret Realm] after another. Different civilizations were born in these [secret realms]. There are civilizations that depend on each other and grow together with their pet animals; There is a civilization where people temper their energy and blood, practice martial arts, and martial arts flourish; There are also civilizations that use technology to transform the world without revealing their extraordinary power... Xia En walked through the [Secret Sea], overlooking the rise and fall of these civilizations with a detached attitude, watching their ups and downs... (End of chapter) Chapter 352 Break through the sixth level! Hidden pr Chapter 352 Breaking through the sixth level! Hidden profession[Secret Keeper! It seemed like only a short second had passed, but it also seemed like a century. Time seems to have lost its meaning at this moment. Xia En is located in the [Secret Sea], watching the birth, rise, and even destruction of previous civilizations one after another. In the process, his state of mind changed from shock and disbelief at the beginning to becoming calm and even vaguely detached. At this moment, Xia En seemed to have really understood the meaning of the so-called "Secret Sea Walker"! As you walk, you will see and hear scenery. At the same time, Xia En also had a different feeling in his heart - In the face of eternal time, individuals and even civilizations are so small and fragile. It''s like a bubble that''s about to burst. Perhaps some people will fall into nihilism in front of this scene and think that life''s efforts are meaningless. But Shane felt exactly the opposite. Even though every civilization eventually perished in that sudden "dark" disaster. But before that, those civilizations also shined as brightly as diamonds. There are countless talented people emerging, just like the stars shining. Xia En even discovered that the more a civilization is on the verge of destruction, the more amazing its potential and power are. If each civilization were personified, it would probably be their last struggle before extinction. Because of this, Xia En became more determined in his thoughts In this limited time, he must try his best to shine in this world and leave his own traces. In addition to the continuous growth of [Career Fit] on the panel. Xia En is also undergoing a unique transformation in the process of traveling through the [Secret Sea]. This transformation is difficult to describe. It is not only an improvement in the level of secret power and soul power, but also a sublimation and detachment of mind. In fairy tale novels, this is probably what is called "enlightenment!" Although it did not help Xia En''s strength in a short period of time. But it will be of great benefit to his future secret journey and reduce many obstacles for him. After leaving another [Secret Realm] that had been destroyed, Xia En returned to the vast and deep [Secret Sea] again. At this time, the [Old Daily Fire] in front of him had become quite weak, as if it would go out at any time. This is also inevitable. After all, this flame is just a ray of original fire separated from Yan Yan, and it is not a complete [Old Fire]. And after taking Xia En back to so many [Secret Realm Afterimages] and having Xia En absorb the secret power from them, the remaining power of this [Old Fire] was already running low. But at this time, Xia En no longer needs to rely on its power. Xia En opened his eyes and slowly looked around. The [Secret Sea] is as dark and deep as ever, and countless [Secret Realms] are like stars scattered in every corner. The terrifying and dangerous [Secret Sea] giant is hidden in the depths of the [Secret Sea], in the shadow of those "starlights". Everything looked the same as before. However, in Xia En''s eyes, the entire [Secret Sea] was completely different from what he remembered. He seemed to be able to see invisible threads in the [Secret Sea]. They are connected and intertwined in a mysterious and mysterious way, forming a huge network that is difficult to describe in words, including everything in the [Secret Sea]. That''s not just a special connection between different [secret realms]. It is a certain kind of rule that ordinary people cannot capture at all. Or rather Law! For no reason, a completely unfamiliar word popped into Xia En''s mind. But it gave Shane a very appropriate feeling, as if it should be the case. "[Law]..." Xia En chewed this word silently, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. This [Law] is naturally not the law of a certain country or [Secret Realm], but the rules that need to be followed in this entire [Secret Sea]! These are the most basic and unchangeable laws! Boom After realizing this, there was a thunderous sound in Xia En''s mind. The secret power accumulated from previous travels in the [Secret Realm] finally burst out suddenly at this time. Like a "fish" trapped in the deep sea without seeing the light of day, it finally jumped out of the sea. A brand new world appeared in front of Xia En. As you climb up the ranks, your soul sublimates! [You have peeked into the deepest secrets of the "Secret Sea"! You have touched a corner of the "Great Law"! [Hidden secret career in employment: Secret Keeper (Level 6)! [Description: The secrets of the "Secret Sea" cannot be told to others in conventional ways. They can only be understood by experiencing it personally. From now on, secrets...will become your strength! [But contacting secrets is inherently dangerous. Please be sure to maintain your sanity and humanity. [Lose your mind and lose a lot;] [Losing humanity, losing everything! A waterfall-like flow of information washed past Xia En''s eyes. But Xia En''s first reaction was a little surprised - Am I promoted now? What about the promotion ritual for the sixth level? According to the normal promotion model, he should accept the trial of the [Secret Sea] and achieve promotion after completing the ritual. But this time, the process of breaking through to the sixth level seemed to have skipped the promotion ritual, which surprised Xia En. However, if you think about it carefully, it''s not that Xia En can''t understand it. In fact, Xia En''s previous journey through various [Secret Realm Afterimages] was in itself a test of his character. If you lose your confidence and fighting spirit because of the sights you see, let alone advance, you will probably "lose your Taoist heart" completely and be unable to make any progress on the secret path. As for Xia En''s guess. Another reason why he was promoted to the sixth level this time without being promoted to Ritual Technique is probably... The [Great Law] mentioned on the panel that he just spied on! Xia En actually still has many questions about the existence of the [Great Law]. For example, when did this law exist in the [Secret Sea]? For another example, was it created by the [Secret Sea] on its own, or was it an artificially established existence? But putting aside these questions for the time being, Xia En has a bold guess in his mind - [Seven Sea World] The so-called [God Ascending Steps] and [Promotion Ritual] are actually the provisions of this [Great Law]! Xia En had previously found it strange why when a transcendent was promoted, his consciousness would be pulled into the [Secret Sea] for testing. It''s like a rigid and powerful program that operates according to certain rules. Thinking about it now, if [Promotion Ritual] is compared to a program, then [Great Law] is its underlying code! The [Great Law] stipulates that all extraordinary beings who reach a certain level must enter the [Promotion Ritual]. Those who complete the trial are successfully promoted; those who fail to complete the trial are classified as failures. Different [secret realms] may have different promotion methods and different extraordinary systems. But the core "underlying code", that is, the [Great Law] will not change. Look at it from this perspective. It can be said that the [Great Law] is the source of all extraordinary powers in the [Secret Sea] and the core of all extraordinary systems! Because of this, when Xia En spied the existence of the [Great Law]. In fact, the conditions for promotion to [Secret Keeper] are met, and there is no need to pass the trial assessment. It''s also for this reason. When Xia En was promoted this time, he felt completely different from his previous promotions. It is somewhat similar to the experience of truly coming into contact with extraordinary power and becoming a first-order mystic. Its like crossing a very special threshold and opening the door to a new world! Thinking of this, Xia En murmured secretly. The secrets of the [Secret Sea] cannot be told to others in conventional ways Only by experiencing it personally can one understand it. "Could it be that Yan Yan gave me the [Old Day Fire] because he wanted me to see the existence of the [Great Law] in person?" Just when Shane was thinking. The second wave of information washed out, belatedly appearing on the panel. [You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! Your personal attributes have increased! [Comprehensive quality: 2530! [Unlock the exclusive talent of "Secret Keeper": Secret Echo! [Quality: Legend] [Description: "Secret" and "Secret Keeper" coexist. "Secret" has become your partner and strength. [Every time you come into contact with related things or experience an event personally, you can trace back their history and hide the "secrets" buried within them. [When these "hidden" truths are pieced together, you will draw unique power from them and unlock new entries. [The talent "Eye of Peeping Secrets" has changed! [Quality: Epic Legend! [Description: The "Secret Sea" gave you black eyes, but you used them to find "secrets". Your "Peeping Eye of Secrets" can not only see through the information of different "secret realms". [It can also make it easier to find things with "secret" and see through the hidden information behind them. [Under these eyes, there is no way to hide the "hidden" things. [Whenever you draw strength from "Secret", your career compatibility can be slightly improved. [Current career compatibility: 0%] After reading this information, Xia En looked thoughtful again. Obviously, similar to [Secret Sea Walker], [Secret Keeper] is a hidden profession that does not directly give him talents and skills for combat. Instead, it gave him the means to gain power. Xia En summed it up: "It means... you can become stronger by exploring the secrets?" However, Xia En is still a little unclear about the concept of "secret". What kind of things can be regarded as [hidden] things? Fortunately, soon, Xia En saw a new column of information at the bottom of the panel. [Current contact secret:] [The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan KingdomThe Great Yan Kingdom, which was once prosperous, was destroyed on the eve of the coming of the world-destroying flood. [People in the world only thought that the Great Yan Kingdom was destroyed by the great flood, but through your contact with the Black Flame Walker, King Xin, and Princess Great Yan, you had a vague glimpse of part of the truth of this incident. [But there is still a long way to go before the truth. [Solution density: 63%] [The disappearance of the elvesthe prosperous elves suddenly disappeared in the history of the Seven Seas world, leaving behind the curse of aphasia. [You have keenly noticed that the elves have not perished, but have migrated to a certain secret realm. [Its just that you are still missing the last piece of the puzzle leading to the truth. [Solution density: 90%] [Black Disastera terrifying disaster from the depths of the mysterious sea. No one knows why it appears. [Today, countless civilizations have been swallowed by darkness. [Perhaps, the dark wave has already accumulated not far away. [Solution density: 1%] Seeing these words, Xia En''s eyes suddenly narrowed. "Is this what is called [Secret]?" "Those truths buried by history and time?" In any case, Xia En originally planned to pursue the "mystery of the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" and the disappearance of the elves. And being able to receive the gift of cracking the [Secret] during this process is undoubtedly a big surprise. What surprised Shane was a little bit. "The disappearance of the elves" [secret], the decryption density is only 90%? He thought he had solved the mystery. But now it seems that he has overlooked a crucial factor. As for the so-called [Black Disaster]... Just seeing this name gave Xia En a chill in his heart. With the help of [Old Fire], Xia En saw the ruined civilizations one after another. And the reason why they were destroyed, without exception, was that weird darkness. In the panel, that disaster is called Black Disaster! Xia En had doubted at the beginning whether this disaster was related to [Humi Siming]. But after observing the destruction of several civilizations, he quickly gave up this speculation. This is a terrible disaster that is absolutely different from the invasion of [Husi Ming]. Even in those civilizations, there were clearly some powerful beings who could be called gods. But in the end, even they could not prevent the [Black Disaster] from coming, and could only watch the civilization being destroyed. From those darkness, Xia En sensed a pure malice toward life and civilization. It seems that only by eliminating all life will the wave of darkness completely subside. This is completely different from the feeling of [Huisiming]. The purpose of [Filthy Command] is to stir up chaos and absorb the power of filth and chaos. But if there is no life left, who will provide Him with the power of filth and chaos? From a certain perspective, [Huisiming] may still pursue "sustainable development." But [Black Disaster] is a complete and indiscriminate obliteration. Xia En even suspected that if [Hui Si Ming] faced the [Black Disaster], it would be no different from a fragile civilization and would not be able to resist the eradication of the [Black Disaster]. That is the truly terrifying disaster in [Secret Sea]! Moreover, [Black Disaster] seems to be expanding to other [Secret Realms]. Maybe one day, [Seven Seas World] will also be enveloped by it! Just imagining that scenario made Xia En''s hair stand on end, and even gave him a little despair. (End of chapter) Chapter 353 Dark Ice wakes up! Duel caused by quota! Chapter 353 Dark Ice wakes up! Duel caused by quota! It didn''t take long. Xia En calmed down his complicated thoughts. Rather than those more distant and terrifying disasters, what he should be more concerned about now is the immediate and imminent crisis The second great flood! And the [Great Flame] undead in the [Far North]! After all, if you can''t even get over this hurdle now, what''s the point of talking about the future? at the same time. The remaining secret power of [Old Fire] has finally dissipated. This tiny flame completed its mission and gradually extinguished before Xia En''s eyes. Immediately, Xia En''s consciousness rose rapidly, like a person who dived from the bottom of the sea and quickly floated upwards. The surrounding stars and streams of light quickly receded, disappearing together with the deep background of the [Secret Sea]. And shortly after Xia En''s consciousness left the [Secret Sea]. Deep in the [Secret Sea], in the endless galaxy, an eye vaguely opened. Its gaze fell on the place where Xia En disappeared just now, and it didn''t move away for a long time... As his consciousness emerged from the invisible "sea surface", Xia En suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. "call-" Looking at the room that was the same as before using the [Old Daily Fire], Xia Enchang exhaled a breath, feeling refreshed both physically and mentally. Even though the job he was promoted to this time did not directly increase his combat power. But in fact, the promotion process itself is a great opportunity. I would like to ask, which secret traveler in the [Seven Seas World] can travel through the [Secret Sea] and witness the rise and fall of civilizations in one [Secret Realm] after another? All those things he saw and heard became Xia En''s precious wealth. Not only did it broaden his horizons, but it also made his mind undergo a transformation, like turning a cocoon into a butterfly, which was completely different from before. Now Xia En seems to be able to see clearly the operation of secret power and the essence of secret techniques from a higher dimension. The contact with the [Great Law] pointed out the direction for Xia En''s future path. It can be said that a "smooth road to the sky" has been paved! Moreover, the increase in combat power is small, only compared to Xia En''s previous promotions. Xia En could feel that under the influence of [Old Fire], his secret power seemed to become more delicate. As if it had been calcined by flames, there was some slight improvement. Get closer to the level of the so-called "secret power of the gods". The overall quality of 5 points is actually the most inconspicuous improvement in this promotion. After feeling his own condition, Xia En couldn''t help but look happy: "I didn''t expect that this breakthrough to the sixth level would be so smooth." "In this way, we will be one step closer to the legendary realm." "Moreover, we will be more confident in solving the crisis of [Great Yan]." But it didn''t take long for Shane to calm down. "By the way, I don''t know how long it took me to get promoted." "It would be terrible if the operation had already begun." As a result, Xia En quickly found Sha Jingjing stationed nearby. "Lord Holy Son!" Seeing Xia En coming, Sha Jingjing subconsciously wanted to pounce on him as usual. But inexplicably, after getting close to Xia En, Sha Jingjing shivered for no reason, and her body began to tremble unconsciously. [Yueyong Clan] usually have beast-like intuition. As the former saint, Sha Jingjing''s intuition is naturally sharper. In her perception, Xia En seemed to have undergone some indescribable changes. Something to say. Xia En seemed to have become a starry sky and a deep sea, vast and boundless. If you explore on your own, you will only get lost in the endless depth. There is even an aura that can be called "great" about him. Just sensing it makes people aware of their own insignificance and ignorance. However, that "great breath" does not look like Xia En''s own breath, but like the residue after contact with some kind of existence. What Sha Jingjing didn''t know was. Those are the traces of the [Great Law] left on Xia En. At the same time that Xia En observed the [Great Law], the [Great Law] also discovered his existence. Of course, [The Great Law] did not take the initiative to do anything. But just the passive contact with Xia En also made his soul transcend the category of ordinary mystics, leaving some insignificant traces. Those with weak senses on the secret path may not be able to detect the existence of such traces. On the contrary, those beings who have begun to come into contact with higher realms, such as legendary strongmen and gods, will be frightened by such "traces" and have instinctive fear. "Lord Holy Son, has the breakthrough been successful?" Sha Jingjing said to herself in her heart: "And this shuddering breath...what''s going on?" Compared with when they first met, Xia En''s strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. So much so that now Sha Jingjing can only look up! But Sha Jingjing didn''t have any jealousy about this, she just thought. "As expected of the Holy Son!" "I also have to try my best to help the Holy Son." Xia En didn''t know what Sha Jingjing was thinking, so he just asked directly. "Sha Jingjing, how long has it been since I entered the room?" Sha Jingjing immediately reported: "Reporting to the Holy Son, you came to the [Rhine Secret Realm] yesterday morning. It is still morning and it is less than 24 hours." After learning the news, Xia En couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. "That''s good." But considering that the action against [Great Yan] could be launched at any time, he did not stay too long in [Rhine Secret Realm]. After a few simple instructions to Sha Jingjing, Xia En returned to the [Seven Seas World]. in the room. Joey was pacing back and forth anxiously, worry and uneasiness written all over his little face. "Mr. Captain, why haven''t you come back yet?" "If this continues..." At this moment, a silvery white light lit up in front of Joey, a light door opened, and Shane walked out. "What will happen if this continues?" Shane''s soft voice sounded in Joey''s ears: "What happened while I was away?" Seeing Xia En, whose aura had become significantly stronger, Joey suddenly beamed with joy. She did not bother to congratulate Xia En on his promotion for the time being, but said quickly. "Mr. Captain, you are finally back!" "An Bing...Dan Bing is awake!" "And now, she is about to duel with that war mad Benny!" Hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly: "What?" "What''s going on?" Joey looked at the time and said, "The duel is about to start. Let''s talk as we walk." Afterwards, Joey led Xia En towards the open space in the military camp. Along the way, she quickly explained to Xia En what happened during the day. It turned out that not long after Xia En entered the [Rhine Secret Realm], An Bing woke up from his coma. From the words of Irina and Sergey, An Bing also learned about this operation against the undead [Great Flame]. Due to the recruitment operation in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] camp, this matter is not a secret. As the former Princess of Great Yan and one of the few Great Yan people in the Seven Seas, An Bing naturally has special feelings for [Great Yan]. So, after learning about the current situation, An Bing wanted to volunteer and participate in this operation. Although Irina and I tried to persuade them, they had almost no effect. The temperament of Princess Dayan is not ordinary stubborn. Moreover, from another perspective, Irina and the others have no reason to stop An Bing from doing this. It may also be their inner wish that the Great Yan people should deal with this undead named [Great Yan]. And that''s when. But Benny came to the door and challenged Xia En by name. This is both for a spot in action and to prove myself. As for the fact that Xia En was in seclusion, Benny thought that he was too timid to fight and was deliberately avoiding him, with a very mocking tone. Joey and others were extremely angry about this. But it has to be said that Benny does have the arrogance to defeat several sixth-order powerhouses. It is indeed not comparable to the crew members except Jane. Even Carles was not completely sure of defeating him. Just when Carles was preparing to fight for Shane, An Bing stepped forward and easily accepted Benny''s challenge. Just what An Bing said. On the one hand, this is to repay Xia En for awakening her, and on the other hand, it is for the quota for this operation! That''s how this duel happened. "That''s pretty much what happened." After Joey explained the ins and outs of the incident, the two of them rushed to the open space in the center of the military camp. At this time, a considerable number of secret travelers have gathered in this open space. There are both regular federal troops and volunteer troops from all forces. Bustling and lively. However, it is obvious that there is an invisible boundary between the federal regular army and the volunteer army. Although there is no clear distinction between Jingwei and Jingwei, most of them maintain a certain distance. The reason behind this is not difficult to understand. Many people in the volunteer army are pirates who wreak havoc on the sea, and have a hostile relationship with the federal navy. Just like Benny''s parents died at the hands of pirates. There is often a lot of hatred between navy and pirates, just like officials and thieves. It is possible to ignore the external pressure for the time being, but it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to be as close as real colleagues. "Who is that woman? There is a [Black Flame Walker] following her closely!" "I remember...[Black Flame Walker] will only obey the orders of [King Xin], right?" "Does she have anything to do with King Xin?" Along the way, Xia En and the two heard a lot of discussions, obviously discussing An Bing''s mysterious identity. However, people probably wouldnt have thought that An Bing would be the princess of [King Xin]! Someone said: "She is pretty good-looking, but I don''t know how strong she is?" "Huh, no matter what, she can''t be Benny''s opponent. The name of the war mad is not just talk!" The person who said this was a young officer. From the standard military uniform on his body and the military rank on his shoulders, it is not difficult to tell that he should be the "young man" in Moritz''s words. This person has strong confidence in Benny, and is even slightly fanatical. "I can say that Major Benny is the number one among the legends!" "Those minions with unknown origins who challenge him are just humiliating themselves." On the other hand, this officer''s attitude towards the "irregular troops" in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] seems a bit contemptuous and arrogant. From his eyes, you can even see a hint of disgust. See the big from the small. This officer''s attitude reflects the attitude of the "young men" to a certain extent. They have strong confidence in the federal regular army and believe that they can solve this disaster and save the world without the assistance of the "volunteer army". Just then. A voice rang in the officer''s ears. "Really? I don''t think so." "Who?" The officer turned around suddenly and saw Shane leading Joey to his side. "Who are you" The officer vaguely felt that Xia En looked familiar, but failed to recognize his identity. at the same time. Xia En turned to look at the field. From this distance, he could actually see the scene in the center of the clearing. Benny seemed to be making final warm-up preparations, while An Bing was saying something to Irina beside him. Shane''s original plan was to stop this duel from happening and defeat Benny in person, which could be regarded as fulfilling his promise to General Moritz. However, when he saw this scene not far away, Xia En changed his mind. Just because he saw a strong confidence in An Bing. That kind of self-confidence is exactly the same as his, relying on strong strength. Xia En believed that since An Bing accepted this challenge, he must have his own confidence. On the other hand. The former [Great Yan] turned into an undead soul. If anyone is the most suitable person to give him final relief, it is obviously [Great Yan]''s own people. Xia En believes that An Bing should indeed be involved in this operation. Naturally, she can only win the spot she wants. Because of these reasons, Xia En temporarily changed his plan and prepared to witness the result of this battle with his own eyes. Of course the officers on the side did not know these secrets. He quickly saw that Xia En was not a member of the regular army. However, just when the officer wanted to use this to taunt him, there was a chill in his heart for no reason, as if his instinct was giving an early warning. This means that the other party''s strength may be far greater than yours! Xia En had just broken through to the sixth level, and his aura had not yet completely converged, coupled with his experience in the [Secret Sea]. The weaker Secret Pathers will feel frightened just by being close to him. Although this officer is biased against the irregular army, he is not really an idiot. He still has basic respect for the strong. He gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Why did this gentleman say this?" "That woman should be an ordinary sixth-level secret traveler." "And Major Benny has a record of defeating several sixth-level powerhouses!" Xia En was too lazy to argue with him and said calmly. "The record doesn''t matter." "Who wins and who loses can only be known by actually playing." That''s when. On the field, Benny takes a step forward... (End of chapter) Chapter 354 The origin of [Instant Time], the secret Chapter 354 The origin of [Instant Time], the secret of traveling through time and space "Are you ready?" Benny stood up and walked towards An Bing. "It''s almost time. It wouldn''t be good to delay the war of our colleagues because of our personal affairs." "So, I will resolve the battle quickly." When he said this, Benny had a hint of a wanton and arrogant smile on his face. "It might hurt a little, so you have to endure it." The reason why Benny is nicknamed "War Mad" is because of his fanaticism in challenging other strong men. Another reason is that after entering a fighting state, he will become a little crazy, thinking only about the pursuit of victory! A better word is called "war madness", a worse word is a "mad dog!" Some Secret Pathers do not want to offend Benny, but this is actually the reason. Compared with Benny who couldn''t wait and seemed a little arrogant. An Bing not far away seemed to have gone to the other extreme. Her expression was always cold and arrogant, like an eternal iceberg, expressionless. Neither the discussions of other soldiers nor Benny''s provocation could make her mood fluctuate in any way. Perhaps, this is An Bing''s original and true character. She had shown so many emotions in front of Xia En before, purely because she had just woken up and the information she learned was too shocking. However, looking at An Bing in the field, Xia En felt strange for no reason. Did Yan Yan like this type of woman in the past? Obviously one is extremely cold ice and the other is blazing flame. Such two people eventually got married, which made Xia En quite surprised and curious. Or is this what is called complementarity? Just when Xia En was gossiping a little in his heart, An Bing finally spoke. "I have said before that the war can start at any time." "Now that you''re ready, come on." After saying that, An Bing waved his hand and motioned for Irina and the two to step back. At this moment, an invisible domain force expanded in the field. This seemed to be a secret technique used by several officers in the crowd to block the aftermath of the battle between the two An Bing and avoid hurting other soldiers. At this time, there were not many people watching nearby. Many people came to witness this challenge with the mentality of watching the fun. In a desolate, extremely cold, barren place like [the Far North], there is no means of entertainment. Probably... Moritz would make such a duel process public, not only to boost confidence and eliminate bad habits, but also to relax the tense nerves of the soldiers. It can also be regarded as a popular entertainment activity. With the deployment of protective measures. Benny quickly became serious. He took a deep breath, and under the stimulation of the invisible secret power, the energy and blood in his body surged like a big river in an instant. Boom! Boom! Boom! A dull sound like thunder sounded. That sound came from Benny''s chest, his heart was beating! The violent heat wave radiated in all directions, bringing up a gust of hot wind, and the ice under his feet continued to melt. Even in the midst of ice and snow, it''s like a midsummer has suddenly arrived. It can be seen that Bennys physical body and the secret power of Qi and blood are powerful! "What secret technique is this?!" In the crowd, some secret seekers immediately exclaimed: "I have never seen such secret power..." This secret technique of Qi and blood condenses the power into the Mystic Path itself, rather than using some kind of magic to cause lethality. On the Seven Seas, it is also extremely rare. Seeing the shock in the eyes of those "miscellaneous soldiers", the officer next to Xia En suddenly gave a proud smile. "This is Major Benny''s unique secret power of Qi and blood." "With its blessing, Major Benny is like a real humanoid beast, unstoppable when charging on the battlefield!" "It is said that this special secret technique comes from a destroyed [secret realm]. It is normal that most people have never seen it." The officer glanced at Xia En intentionally or unintentionally. Although he didn''t dare to target Xia En directly, he still had the guts to say something strange and angry. Xia En didn''t care about the officer''s offense, but murmured in a low voice. "The secret technique of another [Secret Realm]?" Of course, he still remembered that when traveling through the [Secret Realm Afterimage], he encountered a civilization where people tempered their bodies and studied martial arts. Perhaps, this unique secret technique of qi and blood came from that [secret realm]. As for the fact that Benny obtained the secret technique of qi and blood, there is actually nothing surprising. In the world, everyone has his or her own opportunities and adventures. And those who can become sixth-level secret path practitioners naturally have their own unique abilities. Coupled with Benny''s status as the "grandson of Moritz", it is not that surprising that he could obtain such a secret skill. In the field. Facing the menacing Benny, An Bing still stood in place, like an iceberg that never wavered on the ice sea. However, those with keen observation can see it. The ice under Dark Ice''s feet is still hard and cold. When the heat wave emanating from Benny was about to approach her side, it was as if it was hindered by some invisible force and could not move forward. "As expected...your power is also extraordinary." "However, this is just fine. What''s the point of fighting without any suspense?" Seeing this, Benny was not surprised but happy, a flash of blood flashed in his eyes, and he licked the corner of his mouth excitedly. The madness became more and more obvious. The next moment. Benny slammed his feet on the ground, and as the ice beneath his feet undulated and shattered, he rushed towards the dark ice like a cannonball. And what surprised everyone was. Facing Benny''s attack, An Bing did not dodge or evade, but faced him head-on. There was a loud bang amidst the screams of the air. That seemingly petite fist collided directly with Benny''s fist. The aftermath of the collision directly caused large cracks to appear on the ground. In the shocked eyes of everyone, the collision between An Bing and Benny turned out to be evenly matched. Xia En''s eyes narrowed, but he could see that An Bing was not using pure physical power. Instead, there was a special cold secret power lingering around her, forming a layer of armor-like existence. It is with the blessing of this layer of "armor" that she can compete head-on with Benny. Next, the two sides fought faster and faster. Benny circled the dark ice and shot continuously, hitting back and forth like a meteor. The secret power of red and ice blue collided wantonly, making people dazzled. The weaker Mystic Pathers couldn''t even see clearly the movements of the two. "How could..." The officers beside Xia En couldn''t help but be frightened by An Bing''s display of strength, with expressions of surprise on their faces. In his expectation, this should have been a battle without any suspense. But now Dark Bing can actually be evenly matched with Benny in the field he is best at? ! Suddenly this time. Benny paused and pulled out a long **** knife from his waist. There was a strong **** aura wrapped around the knife, and one could tell at a glance that it had killed countless people, and there was even substantial resentment and evil energy condensed on the blade. "Be careful. Once this knife comes out, even I may not be able to hold it back." Benny gave a tentative reminder. Then, the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and his speed skyrocketed again. Almost just a breather. Benny came to An Bing! I saw him slashing out from top to bottom with his sword, and the blood-red sword shadow moved inch by inch towards An Bing with the momentum of splitting the sky and splitting the earth. The raging murderous intent exploded at the moment Benny took out the knife, making all the soldiers and secret travelers present feel their hearts twitch violently. But just at this moment. An indescribable and terrifying chill was suddenly released with Dark Ice as the center. This chill is not just the cold caused by ordinary low temperatures, but also a regular and conceptual cold. Even scarier than the so-called and legendary "absolute zero"! The things it can freeze are not only regular existences, but also qi, blood, secret power, and even soul, space, and time! It can be said that this is a kind of lawful power called [Freeze]! The scope of this coldness is not large, only an area around Dark Ice. It happened to include Benny who was attacking her. I saw Benny''s body frozen in place, and even the knife he was cutting came to a standstill at an extremely fast speed. The huge kinetic energy, the secret power of qi and blood, and the violent evil energy wrapped around the blade all seemed to have been pressed to a halt. It''s like a pot of boiling water suddenly freezing. It only took less than a second to go from extreme movement to extreme stillness. Benny''s eyes widened in astonishment, and even this movement was frozen by the chill. His body was quickly covered in frost, and his beard and hair were covered with large ice crystals. Not only that, even his thoughts became extremely slow and dull, as if his soul''s perception of the outside world had been frozen. No matter how surging the secret power of qi and blood in his body is, he can''t break away from this cold confinement and can''t get rid of the shackles of this body. No matter how powerful this secret power is, as long as it cannot be summoned, it is the same as nothing. Immediately, An Bing raised his right hand. An ice-blue thin sword made of ice crystals was placed against Benny''s neck. The cold murderous intent seemed to penetrate deep into Benny''s bones through his skin. At this time, An Bing said her first words after the war. "You lost." After saying that, the rapier in An Bing''s hand collapsed into ice crystals. He never looked at Benny again and turned to look at the other people present. "Who else wants to challenge me?" This series of events has been a long one. But in fact, from the time Benny took out the long knife to the time he was defeated, it only took a few blinks of an eye. At this time, looking at Benny who was frozen in place motionless, and hearing An Bing''s speech, everyone was shocked and in an uproar. "What just happened?" "Why did Major Benny suddenly lose?" The weaker Mysterians couldn''t even tell what was going on. I only saw that Benny, who had the upper hand one second, lost the ability to resist the next second. On the side, the officer''s face was quite ugly. He didn''t dare to look at Xia En anymore and muttered to himself. "Major Benny...actually lost?" "Who is that woman?" In response, Joey couldn''t help but cheered: "Okay!" "I didn''t expect Miss An Bing to be so powerful!" When the officer was talking beside them just now, Joy wanted to quarrel with him. Now seeing An Bing win, she naturally couldn''t help but feel proud. Compared to the shock of others, Xia En''s expression remained calm and calm. Because he had already expected that An Bing would win. However, this does not mean that he is not surprised. In fact, Xia En''s heart also set off huge waves - just because of... the strange freezing ability displayed by Dark Ice! Xia En felt inexplicably familiar with this power. If you think about it carefully, when he uses the silver pocket watch called [Momentary Time], the surrounding time and space will fall into a strange frozen state. Intuition told Xia En that there might be some profound connection between the two. This immediately made Xia En''s attitude become serious. There are always a lot of doubts about my experience of traveling through time and space twice, and even the origin of [Instant Time]. Even now, Xia En has never found a reasonable explanation. After all, traveling through time and space is really incredible. At this moment, Xia En''s heart was naturally rippled by the sudden discovery of relevant information. That''s when. Xia En found that in his eyes, An Bing not far away seemed to have a hazy color lingering on him. Like some kind of light, but also like a strange mist. After careful observation, Xia En even saw a piece of information in it. [Princess DayanDark Ice] [It may contain clues to the "mystery of Great Flame''s demise" and "the secret of traveling through time and space". "This is" Enlightenment arose in Xia En''s heart. This seems to be the effect of the upgraded [Peeping Eyes]. Can determine the key people and things about [Secret]. Immediately, Xia En no longer hesitated and walked directly towards An Bing in the field. Dark Bing had just defeated Benny, so he deservedly became the center of attention. Xia En''s actions quickly attracted the attention of others. "Who is that person? Doesn''t he want to challenge this woman?" "Wait...he seems to be Xia En!" "It is said that he was the one who originally challenged Major Benny, but in the end this lady accepted the challenge on his behalf." "Then what does he want to do when he comes here now?" As such discussions began, everyone looked at Xia En with a strange look. No matter what, it is always a little unreasonable to let a woman face this kind of thing for herself. Xia En didn''t care about the looks of others and walked straight to An Bing. "Captain Shane?" An Bing was stunned and blinked in confusion: "Do you want to challenge me?" From her perspective, she had just said "who else" when Xia En walked up. Dont you just want to challenge yourself? Xia En glanced at An Bing unexpectedly. Does this Princess Dayan still have some natural attributes? He shook his head and said, "How could that be?" "I have another thing for you." With that said, Xia En took out the [Momentary Time] that he carried with him from his arms and asked seriously. "Have you seen this pocket watch?" (End of chapter) Chapter 355 Dark Ice and Xin Wang Chapter 355 Dark Ice and King Xin "This is" The moment he saw the silver pocket watch, An Bing''s cold expression suddenly changed and he asked coldly. "Where did you get this?" "Give it to me." As she said that, she reached out and tried to take away the pocket watch. [Moment of Time] is related to the secret of Shane traveling through time and space and returning to the past, and even related to Laila''s life and death, which is extremely important to him. Naturally, it was impossible for Xia En to hand it over so easily. Therefore, he took a step back and avoided An Bing''s outstretched hand. "Miss An Bing, what do you want to do?" At this time, An Bing was no longer as calm and calm as before, but instead became a little abnormally impatient and angry. An Bing looked at [The Moment of Time] and repeated again: "Captain Xia En, give it to me." Xia En frowned slightly and his attitude became a little serious. "What if I say no?" Unlike other crew members, his friendship with An Bing was just a chance encounter. If it weren''t for Yan Yan''s relationship, Xia En might not have rescued Princess Yan. If An Bing wanted to **** this silver pocket watch from her, Xia En would never coddle her. An Bing also saw a determined attitude from Xia En''s words. However, this pocket watch also has extraordinary significance to her. After hesitating for a moment, An Bing''s eyes flashed with determination and he said, "Then, please let me challenge you." "If I win, give me this pocket watch and the quota for the action." Xia En''s eyes changed again. He did not directly agree to An Bing''s challenge, but asked. "Are you sure?" "Not to mention that this is only a one-sided bet. Even if I beat you, there will be no benefit." "Secondly, I woke you up from your long sleep. Is this Princess Dayan''s attitude towards her benefactor?" If it were an ordinary stranger, Xia En would of course directly agree to such an unreasonable challenge and teach her how to behave in the most violent and direct way. However, An Bing is Dayan''s princess and Yan Yan''s wife! If An Bing really insists on challenging himself, Xia En will have to examine whether this stupid woman is qualified to be Yan Yan''s wife. When he said this, Xia En''s previously suppressed breath spread out again without reservation. As his momentum exploded, the surrounding soldiers and secret travelers couldn''t help but change their expressions, and looked at Xia En with fear and fear. Previously, in the eyes of these onlookers, Xia En''s aura was not very powerful. Combined with the rumor that he was suspected of "avoiding war", many people subconsciously had a contemptuous attitude, thinking that he was a pretty boy who was just a freeloader. Regarding the dispute between Xia En and An Bing, people are looking to watch the excitement and gossip, and want to see Xia En''s jokes! But at this time, they realized that this was not the case at all! After just completing his promotion, Xia En''s body still retains the aura from [Old Fire], [Secret Sea], and... [Great Law]. These three are all existences that transcend the [Seven Seas World]. His high status is far beyond people''s imagination. Even if there is only a little residual breath, Xia En looks like a bottomless abyss. The man seemed to be standing in front of them, but he was actually standing in some higher dimension, quietly watching the changes in the galaxy and civilization. In the eyes of some people with keen inspiration, Xia En exudes bursts of twisted brilliance. The color of that light transcends all colors in the world and can hardly be described in any words or language. It contains infinite mystery and weirdness. Just staring at this light makes people tremble from the bottom of their hearts. "What happened?" "The aura on that man''s body... is so terrifying! It''s almost like the oppressive feeling that a legend gives people." "I remembered that Xia En seemed to have a record of killing sixth-level Mystic Pathfinders before." Someone said in surprise: "At that time, he was only at level five." "Is it really like what the woman said, that he just went into seclusion to get promoted?" "But how does this look like the sixth level?" Another person couldn''t help but complain: "Even ordinary legendary strong men don''t have such a terrifying aura, right?" Among the Secret Pathers, strength will ultimately speak for itself. As Xia En showed his aura, everyone''s attitude changed 180 degrees. On the side, Benny had just escaped from the frozen situation and regained his ability to move. The look on his face was extremely complicated. When he saw Shane before, Benny wanted to challenge him directly. After all, if you can''t defeat this mysterious dark ice, how can you still defeat Xia En? However, this sudden momentum made Benny swallow his words hard. He seems to be really unbeatable! After coming to this judgment, Benny suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration and depression in his heart. In the military, he had almost never met anyone of his own age who could get along with him. Who would have thought that two guys who could easily defeat him would suddenly appear at this time! Benny secretly said, "This male and this female are all monsters!" at the same time. The focus of everyone''s attention. Looking at Xia En in front of him, feeling the vast and profound momentum, An Bing''s expression changed several times, and finally he let out a long sigh. "Sorry, Captain Shane, I was impulsive." "However, even if I really challenge you, I won''t be your opponent." "I will explain it to you carefully about [Instant Time]." An Bing said after looking at the people watching around him. "This is not the place to talk, Captain Shane, please come with me." With that said, An Bing turned around and walked towards a barracks, and Xia En followed immediately. Although they didn''t see the two fighting, some onlookers were a little disappointed. But the aura that Xia En exuded earlier also made people realize that another legendary top powerhouse was born. This news is bound to spread within a small area. It also makes the name of the captain of the [Black Swan], Xia En, remembered by more people! Similarly, due to the appearance of An Bing and Xia En, as well as Benny''s defeat, the soldiers knew that there were strong men and geniuses outside the army who should not be underestimated. The somewhat arrogant atmosphere among the federal regular army has also been somewhat restrained. Finally, Moritz''s request was fulfilled in another way. After entering this closed barracks. An Bing first glanced at Joey behind Xia En. Noticing her gaze, Xia En immediately understood what she meant and said directly: "It doesn''t matter." "Joy is someone I trust completely." "If it''s something you can tell me, there''s no need to hide it from her." Hearing this, Joey couldn''t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Xia En with growing attachment. After hearing Xia En''s words and seeing Joey''s expression, An Bing understood everything immediately. There was a little envy in her expression. "So you have this kind of relationship..." "It''s nice to have someone I can trust completely, unlike me and Sal..." Halfway through his words, An Bing closed his mouth as if he knew he had made a mistake, as if he didn''t want to talk about this topic again. Xia En felt itchy. In his life, he hated people who spoke half-talk. Wasn''t this deliberately arousing people''s curiosity and irresponsible? An Bing composed himself and continued. "Captain Shane, I apologize again for my actions just now." "In fact, this [moment of time] means so much to me that I lost my composure for a moment." "Also, I also learned from Irina how you woke me up. Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you." After saying that, An Bing bowed deeply to Xia En. Given her noble status as a princess, she had almost never done such a thing. For her, this not only requires a lot of courage, but also requires letting go of her former pride. However, An Bing still did this. Seeing this scene, Xia En changed his mind about Princess Dayan. She would want to take away [the moment of time], probably not because her personality is relieved, but really just a moment of excitement. Xia En said after accepting An Bing''s salute calmly. "Let''s not talk about the past." "More than this, I want to know, how much do you know about this pocket watch?" An Bing did not mince words and said directly: "Actually, this pocket watch named [Snap Time] is actually my mother''s relic." "Um?" Upon hearing this, Xia En suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Your mother''s relics? This..." This sentence really surprised Xia En. He had guessed the origin of [Instant Time] several times, but An Bing''s statement was something he had never expected. As far as Xia En knew, [The Moment of Time] was a relic used by the king of the Shuton Kingdom to prevent the royal family members from turning into coral. However, it is obvious that it did not originally belong to King Shuton, but was obtained by the Kingdom of Shuton by some kind of chance. But even so, from the [Ultra North] where [Great Yan Kingdom] is located to the Kingdom of Shuton on the mainland, it is too far a distance, right? An Bing didn''t care about Xia En''s reaction, but continued to talk to himself. "The matter actually starts with the marriage between our family and King Xin..." "Marriage?" Xia En raised his eyebrows again. But when I thought about it, it was actually normal for a king like King Xin to get married. Free love is almost impossible to exist. But what about the family An Bing lives in? "Captain Shane, you may have noticed..." "The ability I use is completely different from King Xin''s secret power of fire. It can even be said to be two completely different extremes." When talking about the past, An Bing''s expression was extremely complicated, with a touch of sadness in his tone. "This has something to do with the family I come from." "Unlike King Xin and other people who were exiled to the [Ultra North], my family is the aboriginal people of the [Ultra North]." "At that time, people on the mainland called us the [Ice Clan] and the [People of Ice and Snow]." "Our people naturally have the ability to control cold and get close to ice and snow. The [Ultra North], a land of ice and snow, is our paradise and holy land of practice." Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. This was also the first time he had heard of the title "People of Ice and Snow". But if you think about it carefully, it is normal for the aboriginal people to exist in the Far North. Just like the Inuit in high latitudes in their previous lives. And since he was an aborigine, Xia En could probably guess what happened next. "However, as time goes by, batches of outsiders come to [the Far North]." "At first, our family didn''t care about this. The refugees who were exiled here were often unable to adapt to the environment of [the Far North]. Those who were lucky enough to survive could only establish smaller villages and gathering places." "We even helped them out of sympathy." There was a hint of sarcasm in An Bing''s expression. "Originally, this situation might last for many years." "Until...a man appears." That man was burning with fire, burning himself like firewood, bringing warmth to people, and leading them to open up a new home in [the Far North]. "As time passed, people gathered around him, becoming more and more numerous and powerful." From a village to a town to a country. "And those who follow him truly respect him and call him..." "[Salary King]!" Speaking of this, An Bing''s tone became extremely complicated. Honestly, our family never thought they would grow as fast as they did. "So much so that when we first realized the threat of King Xin, the country called [Great Yan] had already become an existence that we could hardly resist." Joey on the side couldn''t help but be a little confused. "Resist? Why resist?" Isnt it a good thing to have a prosperous country in [the Far North]? An Bing replied: "For ordinary people, this is indeed a good thing." "But for our family, the emergence of [Great Yan Kingdom] has caused the temperature in the entire [Far North] to rise, and the ice and snow have begun to melt." "In the eyes of the elders in the family, this is even more of a sacrilege!" "They believe that [King Xin] and [Great Yan Kingdom] have destroyed the environment of [Far North] and polluted their homeland." "They even wanted to take action against [Great Yan Kingdom] and destroy this new country." "However, after King Xin once visited the family alone at night, the old people became more honest one after another and recognized the gap between the family and [Dayan]." Xia En''s mouth twitched when he heard this. "Visiting the family at night alone?" It was hard for him to imagine that the kind and cheerful Yan Yan in his impression would do such an arrogant and arrogant act. However, if it were the salary king in that photo, maybe thats what he would do, right? Judging from the reaction of the Anbing family, it seems that King Xin has really managed to suppress the entire family by himself? However, it is obvious that this crude approach will undoubtedly leave some hidden dangers. An Bing nodded and said. "Yeah, just like you thought." "Since then, the hostility within the family towards [Great Yan Kingdom] and King Xin has not been eliminated." "It was precisely to make King Xin relax his vigilance that this marriage came about." (End of chapter) Chapter 356 The truth from An Bings mouth! Solution Chapter 356 The truth from An Bings mouth! Solution density increases! "The marriage was created to relax King Xin''s vigilance..." Xia En silently chewed the information revealed in An Bing''s words. From a rational perspective, this is completely understandable. As the aborigines of the Far North, the [Ice and Snow People] were not as powerful as the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] at the time, but they were definitely a force that should not be underestimated. Coupled with their natural rejection and hostility towards [Great Yan Kingdom]. It is conceivable that the existence of this family itself is a big hidden danger. If Yan Yan is a cruel and cruel tyrant, then the best way to solve the problem is undoubtedly only one word - kill! Just like a certain country in Xia En''s previous life, as long as all the local indigenous people are killed, there will no longer be such hidden dangers. However, although Yan Yan before amnesia was far more decisive and resolute than he was after amnesia, he was by no means a cruel person. You can''t do things like killing whole families and destroying nine tribes at every turn. Therefore, marriage is undoubtedly the best choice after weighing the pros and cons. It can not only ease the relationship between the two parties and avoid unnecessary internal friction, but also use the power of the [Ice and Snow People] in the construction of the [Great Yan Kingdom]. And the [Ice and Snow People] dont have to worry about being exterminated by King Xin, and they can still have a territory of their own. From every angle, this is a win-win. The only "victim" in this incident is probably the woman who married King Xin, the current Princess Dayan - An Bing! This marriage can be said to be a pure exchange of interests, with no feelings at all. However, in the face of the rise and fall of a family, personal emotions may be the most insignificant factor, right? Thinking of this, Xia En looked at An Bing with a little more sympathy. It is probably for this reason that King Xin''s attitude towards An Bing seems so weird. If King Xin doesn''t pay attention to An Bing, he won''t send his capable men to wake her up. But if you really value An Bing, why doesn''t King Xin personally come to wake her up from the [Eternal Coffin]? -This gave Xia En the feeling that... King Xin didn''t want to face An Bing in person. Or is he hiding from An Bing? Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia En had new doubts. What does this marriage have to do with the origin of [The Moment of Time]? Noticing the gazes of Xia En and Joey, An Bing smiled: "Please don''t look at me with that look." "In fact, after becoming Princess Dayan, my life is not sad, and I don''t need to be pitied." "Xin...is a king and a responsible man. He has always been very good to me." "He would take me for a walk in the ice and snow, take me to see the city under construction, and see those busy and energetic people." "I saw many sights that I had never seen before, and ate all kinds of novel foods brought by those people... This was the first experience in my life for me." When talking about these past events, An Bing''s tone was unconsciously brisk. Obviously, this is also a beautiful memory worth remembering for her. "Such a peaceful and beautiful life lasted for several years, and [Great Yan Country] became more and more prosperous in the process." "Honestly, I had a real crush on him." "I also thought about how great it would be if time could stay in those years..." Then, An Bing changed the topic and said. "It''s just... suddenly one day, when Xin came back from the outside world, his face was solemn as never before." "I asked him what happened, but he just shook his head and said nothing." "And from that day on, the salary changed." "He started to become a little irritable, a little lost his temper, and became busier and busier, as if something was chasing him behind him." "At the same time, Xin began to prepare various plans, such as shelters, such as the hoarding and collection of certain supplies..." Upon hearing this, Shane and Joey''s expressions suddenly changed. Obviously, during this period, King Xin learned about the arrival of the "World-Destroying Flood" and made various preparations. Doesn''t this oppressive feeling of disaster feel like someone is chasing him behind him? An Bing nodded: "Yes, I only found out later." "He is using all possible means to fight against the disaster that is sweeping the world." "At that time, because he was getting busier and busier, I had less and less time to meet with him, and we gradually became a little unfamiliar." "Although I have some resentment in my heart, I can probably guess that he is doing something extremely important, and I don''t have too much resentment about it." "It''s just occasionally...it still feels a little lonely." Xia En looked a little strange. Judging from An Bing''s words, although her relationship with King Xin had some twists and turns, it didn''t seem to have reached the point of a real breakup or turning against each other. It''s just a small friction in the couple''s life. Even An Bing can be considered a reasonable type among women. So, what happened that caused their relationship to change, so that An Bing showed such a resentful look when he heard Wang Xin''s name after waking up? No need for Xia En to ask, An Bing quickly told the whole story. "The cause of the incident was this pocket watch called [Momentary Time]." "Captain Shane, you should already know that this pocket watch has the ability to temporarily stop time and space, right?" Shane nodded: "That''s right." Since An Bing can call out the name of [Momentary Time] and it is a relic of her mother, she must know its function. There was no need for Shane to hide this. However, from these words, Xia En also heard another message - An Bing doesn''t seem to know that [Instant Time] can achieve such a thing as traveling through time and space? "Although there are considerable side effects, and the stagnation time is extremely short." "But the ability of [Snap Time] can also be called miraculous, and it can play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the battle at critical moments." An Bing said with a hint of pride: "This relic is exactly the creation of our family." "The power of [freezing] is engraved layer by layer on the pocket watch in a special way." "This has achieved the effect of freezing time and space." "Similarly, this is also the certificate of each patriarch of our family. It is equivalent to the ''crown'' and ''scepter'', symbolizing legitimacy and authority." "After each clan leader obtains [Momentary Time], he needs to input his own understanding of the [Freezing] Law into it, so that its effect will continue to increase." "...You may not believe it when I tell you, but that''s how I introduced [Snap Time] to Xin at that time." An Bing paused and said slightly sadly. "I wish I hadn''t mentioned it to him then." Joey asked softly: "What happened at that time?" An Bing slowly told: "As time goes by, Xin''s impatience not only does not disappear, but becomes stronger." "In front of other subordinates and people, Xin can often hide his emotions very well and behave calmly." "It is precisely because of this performance that although the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] were very confused about what he wanted to do, they still obeyed his orders and followed him as usual." "Originally Some of the opposition voices that arose were drowned out by public opinion. An Bing showed a smile that was half self-deprecating and half sad. "However...as Xin''s pillow partner, I can still occasionally see Xin''s true side, so I can see his increasingly irritable mood." Xia En listened to these words in silence. He seemed to be able to empathize with the pressure King Xin was under. Knowing ahead of time such a disaster that could destroy the world would probably make anyone feel a heavy sense of oppression. Moreover, the situation of salary kings is different from that of ordinary people. Those who are incompetent, when they know the end of the world is coming, may simply give up resistance and choose to take advantage of the last moments to indulge and enjoy themselves. But King Xin chose the most difficult path Confront such a disaster head-on! Do your best to save this world! Not only did he want to save more people from the disaster and leave the spark of civilization for future generations, he even wanted to prevent the flood from happening at the source. And this is essentially a confrontation with the weird and mysterious [Huisi Ming]. Face the gods face to face with a human body! The last person to do this was Augustine, known as the "King of Pirates"! Of course, Xia En will not forget Augustine''s dejected look during the promotion ceremony. After failing to challenge [Evil Command], Augustine suffered an extremely heavy blow and almost collapsed. The pressure that King Xin is under may be greater than Augustine. After all, Augustine only faced the loss of his fleet and the disintegration of the [Pirate Principality]. But King Xin is responsible for the survival of the entire world! In order to prevent his subordinates and citizens from panicking, King Xin could not tell others such a secret, so he could only bury it in his heart and bear it alone. Over time, even with King Xin''s willpower, he might not be able to bear it. An Bing''s words proved Xia En''s guess. "One day, the pressure he accumulated seemed to reach its extreme, and he muttered to himself-" "[There is not enough time. If we continue like this, we will not be able to catch up. It would be great if there is a spell that can freeze time and space...]" "It was because of what I heard that I told him about the existence of [Flash of Time]." "After learning about this, Xin immediately asked me to take him to the family to see the effect of [Flash of Time]." "He was so eager that he even set out that night." "My mother was extremely surprised when she saw us in the middle of the night. She thought something big had happened. She breathed a sigh of relief after learning that it was [a moment of time]." An Bing''s eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said softly: "I still remember that scene clearly, because..." "That was the last time I saw my mother." "What?" Joey let out a low exclamation: "What happened?" An Bing did not answer this question directly, but continued. "Although the time [Snap Time] can be still is very limited, Xin still cares about it very much, and even made a request to ask his mother for it." "It''s just that [Moment of Time], as the certificate of the patriarch of our clan, is also of extremely important significance." "So, mother rejected Xin''s request." "And on the third day after that incident, my mother was found dead at home, and all the [moment of time] on her body was gone." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help narrowing his eyes and said seriously. "You mean, you suspect...Wang Xin killed your mother?" "This is absolutely impossible, he is definitely not such a person." However, An Bing''s words surprised Xia En: "In fact, I thought so at the beginning." "I also feel that the salary I know would never do such a thing." "It''s just...what happened later made my mind gradually change." An Bing''s pretty face showed bitterness: "Not long after my mother''s funeral ended, I saw with my own eyes..." "A [Black Flame Walker] handed [Instant Time] to Xin." "I mentioned this directly to Xian and asked for the pocket watch back, but he refused." "He said that [Flash of Time] is extremely critical to his plan and cannot be returned to our clan for the time being." "Until then, I still trust him and have agreed to return [the moment of time] to me after the matter is over." An Bing gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out words from between his teeth. "But I was wrong, and very wrong." "After that day, Xian''s behavior became increasingly mysterious and aggressive." "Sometimes he disappears for several days. Not only me, but even [Black Flame Walker] doesn''t know where he is." "At the same time, there were several disappearances in my family." "Some tribesmen who went out lost contact inexplicably and disappeared." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately realized something acutely, and his expression suddenly changed again: "Wait, you mean..." An Bing nodded: "Yes, it''s just like you thought." "Originally, this incident was supposed to be investigated by the criminal investigation department of [Great Yan Kingdom], but because it is related to the existence of [People of Ice and Snow], I was entrusted with the investigation." "While investigating the missing clan members, I found some traces of the [Black Flame Walker]." "At first, I just thought it was [Black Flame Walker]''s intervention in this matter." "But soon, I discovered..." "Those [Black Flame Walkers] are the real culprits that caused the disappearance of our clan members!" "I witnessed with my own eyes that a group of [Black Flame Walkers] captured my people and took them to an underground research center." "And the tribesmen who entered it never appeared again!" Upon hearing these words, Xia En''s [Peeping Eyes of Secrets] suddenly reacted. Hear the secret key information! [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" +10%! You have received a gift from "Secret"! (End of chapter) Chapter 357 The gift of [Secret], the curse against Chapter 357 The gift of [Secret], the curse against King Xin! The information flashed before his eyes made Xia En''s pupils shrink. "Did An Bing''s words contain key information about [Secret]?" "The research center hidden underground...the frozen town...[the people of ice and snow]..." Xia En vaguely felt that there was a thread that could connect these information together. But he was still missing some crucial clues that would prevent him from discerning the truth hidden in history. And as the [Secret] solution density increases, Xia En can clearly feel An indescribable mysterious force descended on him from somewhere. This power is somewhat similar to the wash of secret power brought by the [Secret Sea] during promotion. It is an improvement from the inside out, originating from the soul. However, compared to the gift of the [Secret Sea], it appears to be more profound and dangerous. It feels like something hazy hidden behind the fog. Just catching a glimpse of its outline can make people feel uneasy and panicked. And this is exactly in line with the so-called concept of "secret"! A realization came to Xia En''s heart. "Is this...a gift from [Secret]?" Just like [Storm Reaver] can seize secret power from the storm, [Deep Sea Devourer] can seize secret power while hunting the behemoths of the deep sea. [Secret Keeper] The characteristic of this profession is that you can obtain unique gifts from the process of deciphering secrets. At this time, with the increase in [decryption density], although this [secret] has not been truly cracked, it still brought Xia En a lot of benefits. A feeling of coolness flowed through Xia En''s mind. Make his thinking sharper and more active. -This seems to have enhanced his soul strength and mental power to a certain extent. This makes Xia En''s resistance to certain mental attacks and pollution improved, and he will also be more comfortable in controlling the secret power. Not only his spirit, but his body was also baptized by this mysterious power. [Comprehensive quality: 30 31! Although the increase is not too large, considering that this is only a gift brought by a 10% increase in [decryption density], it is quite considerable. If this momentum continues, when Xia En cracks these [secrets], his own strength will be greatly improved. The growth in strength is certainly gratifying. But at this time, Xia En''s mind was not focused on this aspect. What concerned him even more was the history mentioned by An Bing and its relationship with the [Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom]! Xia En calmed down and asked. "Are you sure...those people are the real [Black Flame Walkers] and not someone else pretending to be someone else?" An Bing nodded solemnly: "I''m sure." "Because I once asked a tribesman to deliberately stay alone and use it as bait to set up a trap, which in turn caught several of them!" "And when they were about to be captured by me, those guys chose to commit suicide without hesitation." "I used the secret power of [freezing] to forcibly save one person''s life." "On them, I found tokens that belong exclusively to the [Black Flame Walker]." "As for the only prisoner, he refused to answer my questions, even if I threatened him with torture." An Bing''s expression was gloomy and he said, "In fact, this further proves their identity as [Black Flame Walkers]." "With that terrifying willpower, unshakable loyalty, and...the complex look in his eyes when facing me, who else could it be besides [Black Flame Walker]?" "In the end, the man acquiesced to his identity, and when I asked him why he did this, he said-" "[We are on the right path.]" "[From now on, there is reserved for us a crown of righteousness.]" "After saying these words, he died in front of me." After hearing these words, Shane and Joey looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other''s eyes. If it is true as An Bing said, the identity of the person who kidnapped [People of Ice and Snow] is [Black Flame Walker]. So, the mastermind behind this incident seems to be ready to be revealed. The [Black Flame Walkers] in the past were different from now. They were a group of secret path walkers who were absolutely loyal and obedient to King Xin. They will only follow King Xin''s orders. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a group of dead soldiers. Doesnt this mean that the order to capture the [Ice and Snow People] came from King Xin? To be honest, Shane still couldn''t believe it. Because, in his impression, Yan Yan would never do such a thing. but Although Yan Yan and King Xin are essentially the same person, they have different personalities and behavioral habits due to their memories and experiences. Whether he would do such a cruel and indifferent thing, Xia En was not sure. But inexplicably, Xia En felt that there seemed to be some hidden secret that An Bing didn''t know about in this incident. Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes suddenly looked a little complicated when he looked at An Bing. He can now somewhat understand An Bing''s mood back then. On one side is the family who gave birth to her and raised her, with a blood-thicker-than-water relationship. On the other side is the person you love. No matter which side you are on, it is so important. The feeling of being caught in this is obviously not pleasant. And from An Bing''s perspective, this is even more betrayal by her lover! The purpose of the marriage is obviously to ease the relationship between [Great Yan] and [People of Ice and Snow]. But King Xin was secretly attacking the people of the [People of Ice and Snow]. If there is no anger and resentment in An Bing''s heart, it is obviously impossible. Not to mention, there is also the death of An Bing''s mother... Xia En sighed softly in his heart and asked: "What happened after that?" An Bing took two deep breaths before getting rid of the sadness and anger and said. "After that, I went straight to the salary and confronted him face to face." "This is the only thing I can do." "After all, the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] belongs to him. If he is really determined to attack the [People of Ice and Snow], we have no ability to resist." "And the scene at that time, I will never forget." "After listening to my questioning, Xin''s reaction was much calmer than I imagined." "He sighed and said, [Sure enough, did you still find out?]" "[But even so, I have a reason to continue. It doesn''t matter how much you resent me.]" "After saying that, he turned around and left the palace, never looking back at me again." An Bing''s eyes turned slightly red and he said, "I never thought that his reaction would be so cold." "Even if he makes any excuse, even if he is trying to trick me? I might still believe him..." "But Xin didn''t even want to give me an explanation." "It was then that I gave up completely. All his past performances turned out to be his hypocrisy." An Bing whispered sadly to himself: "It turns out that I was the only one who was being sentimental all along." Both Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. Just listening to An Bing''s words, King Xin''s behavior is indeed chilling. Even if there is a factor of impending disaster behind this, it still seems a bit too cold and inhumane. "Since then, I have been under house arrest in the palace and not allowed to go out even half a step." "That palace was really cold...even colder than the [Eternal Coffin] later." "In the end, I made just one request of him." "That means returning my mother''s relic, this [Snap of Time], to me." A bitter smile appeared on An Bing''s face: "But, even for such a simple request, he still wants to make fun of me." "Originally, in the letter, he had already agreed to the request." "But within a few days, he said that [the moment of time] was taken away by an unknown legendary strongman." "But he is the salary king. Who can **** [the moment of time] from his hands?" "At that point, you still want to deceive my feelings...it''s really, really bad!" "It is precisely for this reason that I have such a big obsession with [Instant Time]." Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows and said after thinking. "Ms. An Bing, regarding this matter, perhaps... King Xin did not lie to you." An Bing was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" Xia En replied: "Actually, I found this [Snap of Time] in the ruins of a royal capital called [Shoton Kingdom]." "And this kingdom is not in the [Ultra North], but in the southern continent which is quite far away!" "I think... it might have been snatched away by someone, and then it appeared in the [Shorten Kingdom] after being displaced." An Bing''s expression changed slightly, and after a moment, she sighed. "Maybe that''s the case..." "But now, this kind of thing is meaningless." "Even without [Instant Time], it is an undoubted fact that Xin deceived me several times and attacked my people." An Bing looked at Xia En seriously: "Captain Xia En, can you return [The Moment of Time] to me?" "This can be regarded as my last memory of my mother, the [people of ice and snow], and that past time." At this time, Xia En really understood the reason for An Bing''s unusual attitude towards [Instant Time]. However, even so, this pocket watch has irreplaceable meaning to him. Giving it to An Bing is obviously impossible. "Really...I understand." Looking at Xia En''s expression, An Bing also understood his resolute attitude, so he no longer insisted on asking for [Instant Time], but said. "No matter what, [Snap Time] is now yours. It was me who made things difficult for Captain Shane." "I can stop asking for it, but at least...please let me take another look at it." Seeing An Bing''s reasonable reaction, Xia En also breathed a sigh of relief. If she continues to insist, the relationship between the two parties will undoubtedly be completely broken. But Xia En can still satisfy the request of "taking a look". Soon, An Bing took over [The Moment of Time] from Xia En. But after just looking at it for a few times, An Bing''s expression suddenly changed and he murmured in shock. "This secret power...this curse..." "But how is this possible?" Hearing this, Xia En frowned: "Ms. An Bing, what''s wrong?" "What curse?" Xia En originally thought that An Bing was surprised because of the special secret power of time and space in [Instant Time], but listening to her words, it seemed that this was not the case? An Bing said firmly: "You can''t be wrong, this pocket watch carries the curse of our [people of ice and snow]!" "curse?" Xia En was very surprised: "But why didn''t I notice it when I was using it?" An Bing''s eyes were filled with confusion and confusion, but he still answered subconsciously. "Because...this kind of curse is set against the bloodline." "Only people of a specific bloodline will be inspired by contact with them." At this time, Xia En also vaguely noticed something and asked. "Then, the bloodline it targets is..." An Bing said very difficultly: "It''s salary." Upon hearing this answer, Xia En''s expression changed slightly. "A curse against King Xin?" [The Moment of Time] is an important relic of the [People of Ice and Snow], and is even the certificate of being the leader of the clan. Why is there a curse directed at King Xin on such a thing? But if you think about it for a moment, the answer is actually self-evident. This marriage only eased the conflicts, but did not completely eliminate the conflicts between the [People of Ice and Snow] and the [Great Yan Kingdom]. Just as King Xin would be suspicious of the [People of Ice and Snow], [People of Ice and Snow] obviously did not really regard King Xin as one of their own. In fact, they may even be planning an assassination against King Xin! It is different from the [people of ice and snow] who naturally adapt to the environment of [the far north]. The reason why [Great Yan Kingdom] was able to establish a country here was that King Xin accounted for at least 80% of the credit. Apart from King Xin, there is no other secret person or successor who can take power in the Great Yan Kingdom. That is to say. As long as King Xin dies, [Great Yan Kingdom] will fall into turmoil and quickly fall apart. The people of [Great Yan Kingdom] will also return to their previous state of being refugees. For some [people of ice and snow], this means that [the Far North] has been purified. And this curse on [Flash of Time] is undoubtedly the most direct evidence. At this time, Xia En also suddenly understood what the secret that he had vaguely discovered before was. From An Bing''s perspective, it was King Xin who betrayed his trust and took the initiative to attack the [People of Ice and Snow]. But what if Is the order of things reversed? It was the [People of Ice and Snow] who intended to attack King Xin. After the failure, King Xin could not tolerate the offense committed by the [People of Ice and Snow] and took revenge. The attitude towards the enemy must be as cold as ice. It seems understandable that the [People of Ice and Snow] should be captured for some kind of research. Obviously, not only Xia En, but An Bing was also aware of this possibility. She is a very smart woman, but her emotions cover her eyes, making her unwilling to think about the truth of those things. "Could it be that..." An Bing''s expression changed back and forth, as if he was undergoing some kind of intense psychological struggle. "But if that''s the case, why didn''t he tell me personally?" "The truth...what is it?" At this moment, an officer''s voice came from outside the barracks. "Captain Shane, General Moritz has orders" "Those who have obtained the ''Quota'' for the secret journey must gather at the military headquarters now!" (End of chapter) Chapter 358 【Glow Container】【The Chosen One】 Chapter 358 [Glow Container] [The Chosen One] The words of the barracks officer brought the three people back to the present from the past history. An Bing''s expression returned to normal after changing several times. No matter what the truth of the past is, the top priority now is to participate in this operation and completely eliminate the undead [Great Yan]! Seeing the change in An Bing''s expression, Xia En sighed in his heart and secretly said it was a pity. He could see that An Bing might not have guessed the truth of the matter, but because of his preconceived notions, he always identified King Xin as the perpetrator. This would have been a good opportunity to change An Bing''s mind. But it was interrupted due to an accident. Based on An Bing''s prejudice against King Xin, he will probably come up with other excuses to explain this phenomenon after this. It will undoubtedly become extremely difficult to make another effort to change An Bing''s concept. However, Xia En''s judgment was actually just one of the reasonable speculations based on his understanding of Yan Yan. Perhaps only King Xin himself knows what the truth of history is. And, on the other hand. After all, Xia En is just an outsider in the emotional entanglement between them, and it is obviously not a wise move to get involved too deeply. Just as An Bing said, no matter what the misunderstanding is, what is the truth? Why can''t King Xin explain it directly to her? Perhaps, this is the real reason why An Bing is disappointed with King Xin. Thinking of this, Shane glanced at Joey beside him. No matter what, he would not let Joey feel the pain that An Bing had experienced. "Mr. Captain?" Looking at Xia En''s eyes, Joey seemed to have noticed something. He couldn''t help but blush slightly and lowered his head. "Captain Shane." At this moment, An Bing''s voice came from the side, and it was even colder than before. "I don''t need this anymore." An Bing returned [The Moment of Time] to Xia En, and then said coldly. "let''s go." Xia En was secretly speechless, but he could also understand An Bing''s sudden cold attitude. In front of An Bing, a woman who had been hurt by love, he and Joey were flirting with each other, which seemed a bit immoral? An Bing was somewhat stimulated by this, which is completely understandable. Suppressing the slightly strange emotions in his heart, Xia En and An Bing quickly walked towards the military headquarters they visited last time. Since Moritz required that only those who had obtained a "quota" could participate, Shane and Joey had to part ways temporarily. It didn''t take long. They were led to a makeshift meeting hall. At this time, five or six people had gathered in the meeting hall. Carles also sat at the side of the long table in the meeting hall. Seeing Xia En and An Bing approaching, Carles immediately stood up and greeted: "Captain Xia En, this way." When Xia En and the two approached, Carles''s eyes fell on An Bing beside him, and the red light in his eyes under the face armor lit up slightly. Carles seemed to be observing Dark Ice, and at the same time showed a little surprise, and the sound-producing device sounded. "This is Her Royal Highness the Princess of [Dayan]?" An Bing nodded reservedly yet gracefully, and said softly: "It''s me." "Ms. Carles, I also heard Irina say your name." "This is our first meeting, please take care of me." It was different from his previous behavior in the barracks where he had lost his composure several times and had fluctuating emotions. At this time, An Bing behaved very elegantly and calmly, as if he would not be moved even if a mountain collapsed in front of him. Her movements fully illustrate the etiquette and manners a princess should have. Combined with her stunning appearance, she naturally gives people a sense of nobility. Although this vaguely gives people a "holding" feeling. But Xia En could understand An Bing''s reason for doing this. The [Great Yan Kingdom] in reality has long since perished, but the [Great Yan Kingdom] in An Bing''s heart has not. The identity of [Princess Dayan] is naturally determined. An Bing not only represents her own image, but also represents the ancient country that has perished. Because of this, An Bing must show an elegant and perfect posture as much as possible. It is obvious that although An Bing was deeply hurt by King Xin, he still has deep feelings for the country [Dayan]. Carles was indeed frightened by An Bing''s gesture and exclaimed. "As expected of the princess of [Great Yan Kingdom], she gives people a different feeling." "Besides, this is the first time I''ve seen someone who didn''t show a surprised expression when they met me for the first time." An Bing replied calmly: "Actually, I have seen steam mechanical life forms like you, madam, in [Great Yan Country]." "This can be treated calmly." "However, you are the most special and powerful type of life form I have seen." Carles sighed: "Is that so?" "The [Great Yan Kingdom] in the past was really amazing!" "In this operation, Your Highness the Princess, you may be able to play a vital role!" After complimenting each other for a few words, the relationship between the two parties was obviously much harmonious. Soon, Shane asked Carles: "What did General Moritz want to do when he called us here?" Carles replied: "Probably to let us action members get to know each other." "Also, explain some internal information about [Great Yan]." At this time, the conversation between Xia En and the three people also attracted the attention of other people in the meeting hall. They all looked at Xia En and An Bing with curious eyes. Compared to Xia En, more eyes fell on An Bing. An Bing did not deliberately hide his identity. Coupled with the appearance of [Black Flame Walkers] like Irina, smart people gradually learned the news of "[Princess Great Yan]''s awakening". This inevitably makes people feel extremely curious. Please, thats the legendary salary kings wife! Normal people would want to take a second look, right? Not to mention, in the previous duel with "War Mad" Benny, An Bing also showed mysterious abilities and powerful combat power. This also leads to- In less than half a day, An Bing''s reputation was already greater than that of Xia En. Just then. A young man at the long table suddenly stood up and walked towards Xia En and the other two. This young man does not look very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. His facial features are very exquisite, and his skin is like milky white satin, which is both white and delicate, enough to make countless women envious. A pair of eyes were a strange white-gold color, which was the same as his hair color, and seemed to exude a unique brilliance. It makes people feel close to it unconsciously. This outstanding and peculiar appearance led Xia En to notice that he was wearing a unique priest''s uniform after the boy approached. This priest''s uniform has a white base with many gold and silver patterns. The moment he saw the priest uniform, Xia En immediately recognized this person''s identity. This is a pastor from the Hui religion! Shane had seen a very similar priest''s uniform on Archbishop Musa. However, there are still certain differences in the color and quantity of the patterns between the two. Come to think of it, that was probably a way to distinguish different levels of priests. However, looking at this strange boy, Xia En inexplicably thought of Fei Ya who was in seclusion in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. "This guy is the same type of boy as Feiya!" "If she puts on women''s clothes, she will probably be more beautiful than ordinary girls." "Speaking of which, both of them are priests...could it be said that a little boy is more suitable to be a priest?" Just when some slightly rude associations came to Xia En''s mind, the young pastor spoke. "[Black Light]...Oh no, Captain Shane, hello." The boy''s voice was clear and sweet, and it gave Xia En a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before. The name [Black Light] shocked Xia En. "Did I lose my vest again?" "When!?" But soon, Xia En suddenly reacted: "Wait, are you..." Hearing this, the young man replied with a bright smile on his face. "Yes, Captain Shane, I''m Xiaobai!" After hearing this, Xia En finally confirmed the identity of the young priest. This is the Xiaobai who often chats with him in [The Land of Glory]! In fact, Xiaobai''s image is very consistent with Xia En''s imagination of him. The young man continued: "My real name is La Tiwen." "Oh, by the way, Archbishop Musa told me your identity, Captain Shane." "Please don''t be offended." Xia En waved his hand: "No, no." "I originally wanted to find you when I went to [Liu Li Island], but I didn''t expect that you were in the first few groups that came to [Ultra North], so I missed it." To be honest, Xia En was quite happy to see Xiaobai here. Unlike Musa, Xiaobai is the "net friend" he made in [The Land of Glory]. Now that we can meet each other, it can be regarded as "offline and face-to-face". But it didn''t take long for Shane to realize something else. Latiwen will appear in this meeting hall, which means... Is he also one of the chosen ones who received a "quota"? Xia En secretly sensed La Tiwen''s aura and couldn''t help but be a little surprised. Previously, Xia En''s attention was attracted by the boy''s unique appearance, and he temporarily ignored the strength of his aura. At this time, after careful observation, Xia En suddenly noticed something extraordinary about him. Latiwen gives people a very gentle feeling, like the sunshine that shines on her body every moment. But this does not mean that sunshine is gentle and weak. Under that gentle appearance, there is a very powerful and terrifying power hidden. Latiwen is obviously also a sixth-level secret pather! Thinking of this, Xia En''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch. When he was still a fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder, Latiwen called himself "Lord Black Light". Now that I think about it, isn''t it a bit inappropriate? Noticing Xia En''s gaze, Latiwen asked curiously. "Captain Shane, what''s wrong?" Xia En hesitated and asked, "I would like to ask, how old are you this year?" Latiwen thought for a while and said, "She should be more than fifteen years old, right?" Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. A fifteen-year-old sixth-level mystic? What level is this? Xia En can reach the threshold of the sixth level at this age, which is already considered a rare existence. And Latiwen is much younger than him! Could it be said that this is the real peerless genius in the Seven Seas? What does this make those secret path practitioners who have never been able to reach the sixth level think? Fortunately, at this time, Latiwen also saw why Xia En was surprised and quickly explained. "Captain Shane, it''s not what you think." "Although I am at the sixth level now, in essence, this power does not belong to me." Xia En wondered: "What does this mean?" Latiwen hesitated for a moment. This is a secret within the Hui sect and should not have been disclosed to others. But then he thought about it, Mr. [Black Light] is not an outsider, so he has nothing to hide. "Captain Shane, you should still remember that in the [Land of Glory], the light of my soul is pure white." Xia En nodded and said, "Of course I remember." "Moreover, that kind of white light is different from the light of other people''s souls..." Latiwen sighed: "As expected of Mr. Xia En." "You can really see the subtle differences." "Actually, I have never practiced the secret power. All I do every day is to feel the radiance from the Lord." "Bishop Musa told me that my body has extremely unique adaptability and can withstand the light from the outside world." "This characteristic is called... [Glow Container]." "As I grow, my soul can hold more and more glorious power." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. Glow Container? The word "container" reminded Shane of Joey and the plan of the "Truth Society". The "Truth Society" seems to be using Joey as the "vessel" to steal the power of the "Storm Goddess". But now it seems that similar existences also exist in [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect]. Or, it is precisely because of the existence of such people that the [Truth Society] wants to artificially create a [container] to contain the power of the gods? Latiwen did not notice the change in Xia En''s eyes, but continued. "The reason why I am at the sixth level now is because the bishop used divine magic to attract the Lord''s radiance and store it in my body." "When these glows are consumed, my power will continue to decline." "But at critical moments, I can even burst out with legendary power, although... the number of times I can use it is extremely limited." After hearing these words, Xia En understood Latiwen''s state. He himself does not possess extraordinary secret power, nor can he even be called a mystic, but he can exert extraordinary combat power with the help of the secret power infused into his body. The name [Glow Container] is indeed the most appropriate one. And the reason why he was selected was probably because of this characteristic. Being able to master legendary power at the sixth level, even with just one blow, it may be possible to turn the tide of the battle. In fact, not only Latiwen, but also most of the people who can be selected to participate in this operation have such abilities. Just as the two were chatting happily, the door to the conference hall opened again. A priest wearing a blue-black priest''s uniform walked in. Seeing this person, Xia En''s expression became a little strange again. Because this is actually an "acquaintance!" (End of chapter) Chapter 359 The final candidate is finalized, inform Chapter 359 The final candidate is finalized, information about [Great Yan]! The robe with blue lines on the black background and silver edges is painted with wave-shaped patterns. This is the unique priest costume of [Deep Sea Church]. As for this priest''s face, Xia En had known him once before. During a certain [Deep Sea Diving], Xia En once encountered a submersible that dived into the depths of the sea. At that time, he just happened to use the talent of [Deep Sea Devourer] to devour the first generation of [Sir of the Netherworld]. This scene was witnessed by people in the submersible, which caused some misunderstanding. And in the submersible, there happens to be a disciple of the Deep who is disguised as a believer of the Storm Goddess! This is the priest who walked into the meeting hall. As soon as this person walked in, he naturally saw Xia En and others sitting at a long table next to each other. When his eyes fell on Latiwen, he couldn''t help but feel a flash of disgust in his eyes. But after noticing Xia En, the priest''s expression immediately changed several times. There was both secret excitement and the excitement of finally meeting some kind of legendary figure, and there was also the restraint of forcing myself to calm down. Seeing his look, Xia En also woke up instantly. This person probably also got some information from Mr. Heller, and regarded himself as the so-called [Son of Netherworld]. Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little weird. It''s as if his identity has been exposed, and anyone who comes can recognize him. Moreover, there is always the risk of other vests being exposed. But Xia En also knew why he had such a misunderstanding. It was purely because the level of the secret pathers he came into contact with now was getting higher and higher. It also happened to be at the time when the Northern Hebei Expeditionary Force was setting off. High-level secret travelers who were rarely seen here were no more rare than Chinese cabbage. Not only do they have keen senses, they also basically have their own information channels and know many secrets in the Seven Seas. This is what happens. At this time, the priest had already walked up to Xia En with a kind and gentle tone. "Captain Shane, hello." "I am William, the pastor of the Deep Sea Church. Nice to meet you." This scene surprised the nearby secret travelers. Needless to say, William''s strength can be the chosen person to get a quota in this conference room, and he is also quite famous among the sixth-level Mysterians. Everyone who has been in contact with him knows that in the [Deep Sea Church], William has always been known for being strict, and he is even known to have a bad temper. Why do you look so gentle and approachable when facing Xia En now? "William, what''s going on? Have you changed your gender?" "It shouldn''t be. I heard some time ago that when he was executing the [Deep Diving Plan], he also killed a scholar suspected of being from the [Truth Society] on the spot." "Hiss...that''s really..." The secret travelers nearby couldn''t help but whisper. "However, it seems that Captain Shane''s connections are really extraordinary." Seeing Xia En surrounded by stars like a moon, many people felt similar emotions in their hearts. Not only the official Carles of the Federation, Princess Dayan from the Great Yan Kingdom, but also La Tiwen of the Hui Sect and William of the Deep Sea Church all have very close ties with him. There is still a vague attitude of following his lead. Xia En seems to have become the backbone and link among this group of people! This seems very unusual. Networking is also part of ability. The fact that Xia En can make friends with so many people of distinguished status and background shows that he is special. Among the people in the meeting hall, many were long-established secret practitioners, and there were even some who were two or three years older than Xia En. Although these people have heard of Xia En''s name, those deeds are not necessarily that impressive to them. In their view, Xia En is just a rising star who has just promoted to the sixth level. It is inevitable to have a little contempt. But after seeing the scene in front of them with their own eyes, people''s ideas changed. "Probably, this is why he was selected by [Salary King] and General Moritz." On the other side, Xia En noticed another thing. It is not difficult to see that the action candidates selected by Moritz are basically the best among the legendary forces from all parties. But now, people from the [Hui Sect], [Deep Sea Church], [Great Yan Kingdom] and other forces have arrived. So, how could this be without the mysterious and strange [Truth Society]? Moreover, there are many scholars in the [Truth Society] who are good at intelligence and data analysis, which will obviously be of great help to the exploration of unknown existences like [Great Flame]. Shane didn''t think General Moritz would forget this. Thinking of this, he simply asked Carles and others his doubts. Carles said: "I heard that a scholar from the [Truth Society] was indeed arranged as an analyst in this operation." "Counting the time, he should be arriving soon, right?" Latiwen nodded in agreement. "I''ve heard this statement too, but the [Truth Society]..." At the mention of this name, a hint of gloom appeared on the young man''s fair and beautiful face. During the previous war with the [Truth Society], Huijiao suffered a lot of casualties. Some of Latiwen''s relatives and friends died in that battle. However, due to the current situation, he had to cooperate with members of the [Truth Society], and it was inevitable that he would feel a little depressed. William also snorted coldly. "When this incident is resolved, we will definitely uproot the entire [Truth Society] and permanently remove this cancer!" Xia En nodded: "There will be a day." He and the [Truth Society] have already had a life-and-death relationship, and of course he is very supportive of William''s ideas. Everyone just chatted and waited. Other secret travelers also came to the meeting hall one after another. Only ten minutes had passed, and there were still two empty seats on both sides of the long table. At this time, William was already a little impatient with waiting, so he simply asked the officer stationed nearby. "What''s going on? Why haven''t they two come yet?" The officer was also a little confused, but he still said politely. "We have sent people to notify them, please wait a moment." Another five or six minutes passed. The two secret travelers still did not arrive. Instead, General Moritz opened the door and walked in first. Compared with the last time they met, Moritz looked a little older and tired. His breath was a little weak, and there seemed to be more white hair on his head. Obviously, with our own side''s extraordinary legendary mystics being restrained, we have to deal with the increasing number of filthy and chaotic creatures that are constantly awakening and protect the safety of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] camp. For Moritz, there is also a lot of pressure. But at the same time. Shane could feel that the chilling and iron-blooded temperament of Moritz became more and more prominent. This old general is by no means a showman in vain. In the face of pressure, he will only rise to the challenge and lead the army to victory with a more tenacious attitude. At this time, Moritz said in a serious tone: "The two of them will not come." "I have received news that these two guys suddenly disappeared in the camp. I''m afraid... they were deserters." "What?" "Desert!?" Everyone was slightly shocked when they heard this. After thinking briefly, Xia En quickly understood the meaning of these words. Unlike people like him who volunteered to participate in this operation, there were always people chosen by Moritz. And normal people can see that this mission is extremely dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a narrow escape. Even Xia En and others are not completely sure. Not everyone has the same courage and determination to face danger as Xia En. It is not incomprehensible that someone would escape at this time. However, what surprised Xia En was... The [Truth Society] analyst was actually among the two people who escaped! This matter undoubtedly seems quite strange. After all, based on Xia En''s understanding of the [Truth Society], those guys are simply a group of lunatics pursuing the truth. In order to explore the truth, you can risk your life. Would such a person really choose to run away because he was greedy for life and afraid of death? Not to mention, as far as Xia En knows, there is a huge bet between the [Truth Society] and the [Hui Sect] and [The Nether Sect]! Giving up the action of infiltrating [Great Flame] at this time does not seem like a wise move. suddenly. Shane thought of a possibility. Maybe...the members of [Truth Society] want to use this time to do other things? This speculation seems absurd at first glance, but in fact it is not impossible. During the time that Xia En came to the Far North, the [Truth Society] had always been extremely low-key. Don''t talk about some kind of large-scale operation. , even when participating in the extermination of the "Filthy Creatures", the "Truth Society" is rarely seen. On the contrary, among the [Black Flame Walkers], there was vague news of an intersection with the [Truth Society]. Maybe they are carrying out some kind of evil plan. With the lessons learned from his previous contact with the [Truth Society], the more Xia En thought about it, the more he felt that this guess might be true! But, on the other hand. The crisis in Great Yan Country is also imminently facing us. Xia En didn''t have time to stop the [Truth Society]''s secret actions. Just as his thoughts were rising and falling. Moritz continued. "Because the two of them escaped before the battle, the quota for the operation was vacant, so I took the initiative and brought a candidate." After that, Benny, wearing a tactical vest and short hair, followed Moritz in. Seeing Xia En, An Bing and others, Benny couldn''t help but look a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Captain Shane, we meet again." Xia En was also in a strange mood. Previously, they challenged each other for spots and proved their strength. On the other hand, some people gave up their spots directly because they were afraid of death. It has to be a bit ironic. However, with Benny''s strength, he is fully qualified to participate in this action. However, by doing this, Moritz also showed his firm decision. He dared to send his grandson to this operation, what else could anyone else say? Moritz continued: "There is one last spot left." "It is undoubtedly too late to make a selection now." "If you have any recommended candidates, you can tell them directly. If they are suitable, they will be finalized directly." "It is best to be able to analyze and transmit intelligence while also having strong strength." Everyone looked at each other. Of course they can come up with a lot of names for both sixth-level secret readers. But there are very few people who meet these two requirements and are willing to take part in the action. At this time, Xia En naturally thought of a name. He said directly: "General Moritz, what do you think of Ms. Jane?" "simple" Upon hearing the name, Moritz fell silent for a moment. "I originally didn''t want to bother him anymore, but now she is indeed the most suitable candidate." "It would be great if Ms. Jane can agree." Xia En didn''t confirm it either, he just said. "Then, I will ask her opinion now." "Please wait." A moment later, Xia En, who left the military camp, came to Jane and briefly explained the cause of the matter and his purpose. After listening, Jane smiled slightly: "Captain Shane, do you think I will refuse?" "Why do you think I came to this [Far North]?" "let''s go." Shane was not surprised by Jane''s straightforward answer. Jane is such a powerful and cheerful woman. After a while, the two returned to the meeting hall. Seeing Jane, many people had a strange look in their eyes. Many of them have been to the [Federal Library], and have heard some stories about this administrator lady. At this time, everyone was a little surprised to see Jane willing to walk with them. As the saying goes, people who live longer tend to be more afraid of death. But they did not see this characteristic in Jane. But now is not the time to reminisce about the past. After everyone was seated, Moritz also began to tell important information about [Great Flame]. "Before this, we have sent people to explore inside [Great Flame]." "With nearly all of them sacrificed, we obtained extremely valuable information." Moritz''s tone was solemn: "I hope you won''t let this information go to waste." Everyone nodded slightly, with solemn expressions. Moritz continued. "At this moment, the space inside [Great Flame] is in a very chaotic state." "On the surface, it is attached to the King, but when you step inside, what you see may be scenes from the Great Yan Kingdom in the past." "That''s probably the scene left by the undead spirit [Great Yan]''s overly strong obsession." Having said this, Moritz looked at An Bing among the crowd. "Ms. Anbing, this may cause trouble for you." "In that environment, intelligence about the Great Yan Kingdom may play a key role." Hearing this, An Bing clenched his fists involuntarily, looking a little sad. But she still nodded heavily and said: "I will fully cooperate with you." Moritz nodded and continued to explain. "Not only the space, but the time in [Da Yan]''s body is also out of order..." (End of chapter) Chapter 360 【Farewell Kiss】 Chapter 360 [Farewell Kiss] Under Moritz''s narration, everyone had a general understanding of the internal situation of [Great Yan] at this time. Because it itself is an existence composed of the remaining souls of all the citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom] after their death. It can be said that it carries the obsessions and memories of countless people. These memories both overlap and are completely different. Obviously, the time points and scenes that impress everyone most are different. When they are mixed together, they will naturally present an extremely bizarre scene. It is very possible that what I saw a second ago was the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] in its heyday. The next second, he walked into a ruins full of scorched earth. This is also what Moritz meant when he said that time and space are extremely chaotic. If that''s all, it''s pretty good. [Great Flame] will acquiesce to the entry of mystics below the legendary level into his body. However, outsiders are still outsiders after all. [Great Yan]''s subconscious will be involuntarily hostile to them, and may even create some kind of weird monster to destroy outsiders. The possibility of Shane and others falling into those dangerous memory scenes will be greatly increased. That is to say. Xia En and others not only have to face the disasters in the past, but also face the malicious intent from [Great Flame]! The situation is not difficult. But in the current situation, we can only persevere with difficulty. And soon, Jane asked a key question. "General Moritz, then, how are we going to eliminate [Great Flame]?" This sentence also asked the thoughts of the rest of the people. After all, from a hard power point of view. The realm of [Great Flame] is definitely above the legendary level, and may even reach the legendary ninth level. In a head-on confrontation, not to mention everyone present, even those legendary strong men are no match. Otherwise, there would be no infiltration operations. And if you don''t know the weakness of [Great Flame] and enter his body rashly. Then this operation is just a way to die. Moritz had anticipated this. He said seriously: "That''s a good question." "In fact, we also obtained an extremely valuable piece of information." "There are five key nodes inside [Great Flame]." "As long as all five nodes are destroyed, [Great Flame] will collapse, or... at least be separated from the body of [King]." "Once an undead loses its possession and entity, the threat it poses will be greatly reduced." Having said this, Moritz looked at Carles among the crowd. "Actually, this information was left in the [King] by Colonel Gold, and coupled with the sacrifice of the advance team members, it was passed to us." "Father" Upon hearing this, Carles made a slightly deep voice under his armor. "He''s someone who would do something like this." There was a touch of pride in Carles'' tone, and he was obviously proud of his father. Then, another piece of news dropped by Moritz shocked Carles. "I suspect...Colonel Gold may not be dead yet!" He added: "During the operation, the advance team discovered many secret codes used within the federal military, and the time when those marks were left was very recent." "I think that is most likely the handwriting left by Colonel Gold." "I make a bold guess that Colonel Gold may have taken the crew of the [King] and hid in a certain memory of Dayan, and they are still holding on to this day." "So, rescuing Colonel Gold and the soldiers trapped inside is also one of your missions during this trip." "Moreover, if you can find Colonel Gold, it will also be of great help to you in finding and destroying key nodes." Moritz said seriously. "Carles, whether we can find him or not, maybe... it depends on you." Afterwards, Moritz handed a relic shaped like a compass to Carles. "This relic can search for those who have a close relationship with the owner, and you are the most suitable candidate." It is not difficult to see that there are reasons behind every candidate chosen by Moritz. He didn''t choose randomly. All this is to increase the success rate of this exercise as much as possible! Carles nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations." Later, Moritz asked the sergeants around him to distribute sets of special equipment. This is a special combat uniform, entirely silver-gray and with a unique texture. As soon as you pick it up, it gives people a very silky and light feeling, and there is also a faint mysterious power lingering on it. The material is quite extraordinary. And he didn''t know if it was Xia En''s illusion, but he unexpectedly felt that this combat uniform was slightly similar to the previous [Black Flame Robe]. Soon, Moritz opened his mouth to explain. "This is special equipment that we temporarily modified based on the [Black Flame Robe] of [Great Yan Kingdom]." "Not only does it have the effect of condensing the aura, but its defensive power and other characteristics are also extremely excellent. It can even block a full blow from a legendary strongman." "Although compared to [Great Flame], it is still better than nothing, but now I can only make do with it." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but be secretly frightened. The fact that he can block the attack of the legendary strong man is already remarkable in itself. In the dangerous [Great Flame], it is equivalent to an extra life. It can be seen that the technical level of the federal military has reached a very high level. However, this type of equipment is definitely still far away from mass production, so it will be used on their group of members who are involved in infiltration operations. Among other things, in the equipment distributed. Shane also saw a communicator and a small wooden box that looked familiar. The surface of this wooden box is decorated with dark red lines, exuding a touch of warmth. It is five or even six points similar to the wooden box that Moritz handed over to Shane. William looked at the wooden box and couldn''t help but ask. "This is?" Moritz explained: "This is King Xin''s [fire], and it is also King Xin''s gift to you." "Carrying this [Fire] with you will allow you to still function normally and move freely in extremely cold environments, and it will also reduce the malicious intent from [Great Flame] to a certain extent." "The most important thing is that with this [Fire], you can determine the location of the key node of [Great Flame] and completely destroy the node with the help of [Fire]." "However, before that, you''d better not open the wooden box at will, otherwise it will consume the secret power of [Fire]." "For King Xin, creating such [fire] seems to be quite a burden." Xia En felt it carefully for a moment and found that there were some differences between this and the [Old Daily Fire] he received last time. [Old Fire] is a flame originating from the origin of the fiery soul. The [Fire] at this time is only the product of his highly concentrated secret power. After receiving the wooden box. An Bing''s expression couldn''t help but become a little complicated. After an immeasurable long time, she finally touched the flame and temperature of self-reliance again. But now, things have changed. An Bing quickly calmed down his complicated emotions. Right now, she has more important things to do. After everyone accepted the equipment, Moritz said. "After entering the [Great Flame], you are likely to be scattered due to the distortion of space." "So, the first thing to do is to meet up with other companions - this communicator is prepared for this." "It''s just that... the environment inside [Great Flame] is complex and changeable, and it is very likely that the communicator will not be able to be used. "At that time, you will have to rely on your own efforts." "That''s all I have to say, do you have anything else to ask?" After hearing these words, everyone fell silent. Moritz had already given the information in quite detail, and the remaining questions were all trivial. It didn''t seem to mean much whether or not to ask them. Moreover, just because they knew the detailed information inside [Great Yan], people''s mood became more depressed and heavy. Facing such an existence that is not a conventional creature at all, just imagining being an enemy requires enough courage. It is obvious that after entering the [Great Flame], they will lose all support from the federation. Likewise, the escape route was completely lost. All people can rely on are themselves and a few companions. In fact, they even fell into a situation of separation from each other at the beginning. To fight alone in that situation, there is quite a sense of despair in fighting the whole world on your own. Thinking of this, even if everyone present is a strong man who has experienced hundreds of battles, they can''t help but have some pessimistic thoughts. "call" "It is indeed a dangerous situation with a narrow escape from death." William took a long breath, as if he was comforting others, and also seemed to be comforting himself. "However, this is the only way to go now!" "For us, for the people we care about behind us, and for the world!" Perhaps influenced by his words, the faces of others present also had a look of determination. In fact, everyone has already realized this, otherwise they would not be in this meeting room. In this somewhat pessimistic atmosphere, a voice suddenly sounded. "Old man, if we can come back alive, what reward can we get?" Everyone turned around and looked in surprise. The one who spoke was Benny who looked excited. Looking at him, Moritz''s stern eyes flashed with tenderness and he chuckled. "At least a colonel rank, other money, islands, or precious relics you want, as long as the federation can come up with it, can be used as rewards." Benny said carelessly: "I''m just a colonel. Isn''t this too worthless?" "No matter what happens, there must be a major general Dangdang!" Moritz replied: "It''s not impossible, but the premise is that you need to become the legendary secret path." "This is also a mandatory requirement of the federal major general." Benny curled his lips: "How stingy." Although to be honest, no one among the people present particularly cared about the so-called military rank. But Benny''s words slightly improved the originally heavy and stagnant atmosphere. At least People began to think about what would happen after returning triumphantly, instead of thinking that they would definitely die in this operation. Such a change in mentality is undoubtedly a good thing. Latiwen also chuckled and asked: "General, can I build a glorious cathedral on [Liu Li Island]?" Moritz nodded: "Of course." "Don''t say one, three are fine." William on the other side was also moved, as if he wanted to say something. Seeing this scene, Xia En also looked at Benny not far away with some surprise. He originally thought that this guy was just a reckless man with a bad temper. But now it seems that he still has his own advantages. At least this optimistic and positive personality affected other people present. After a few more brief conversations, Moritz said. "The action time is two o''clock in the afternoon. You still have the last half day to rest and spend more time with the people you value." "I have other matters to deal with, so I''ll take my leave now." After that, Moritz turned around and left first. Xia En knew this well. In fact, this is to give them a chance to explain their aftermath. Immediately, other secret travelers left the meeting hall one after another. Benny came to Xia En and others at this moment. Carles looked at him warily. "Benny, what do you want to do? Find trouble?" "How could this be?" Benny shook his head and looked at Shane among the people. "Captain Shane, I take back what I said before." "I have seen your strength, and you are indeed qualified to participate in this operation." "And about your deeds, I have roughly learned about it from others." "You are not the kind of pirate who robs for money." After saying that, Benny bowed very vigorously: "I misunderstood you before, I''m sorry." After lifting his body, he continued. "Of course, what I did before may have left a bad impression on you." "But that doesn''t matter. I never wanted to have a good relationship with you." "I just hope that we can cooperate sincerely in the next actions, and that will be enough." After saying these words, Benny turned around and left regardless of his reaction. Xia En''s expression was particularly strange. On the side, Carles explained. "Benny''s character is like this. I can''t say he''s likeable, but he''s not annoying either." Xia En nodded: "It can be seen that it is indeed the case." However, after what happened today, his impression of Benny had indeed changed. At least, he understands the priorities of things. Soon, Xia En also left the meeting hall, found Joey and others in the camp, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and gave instructions on various matters in his absence. "Sneak into [Great Flame]''s body..." Different from usual, Joey looked at Shane with worry in his eyes. But she also knew that Xia En''s decision would not change because of her, so she could only speak softly. "Mr. Captain, please be careful." "I will." Shane rubbed Joey''s little head as usual and was ready to go. But before he took a few steps, a girl''s voice came from behind. "Mr. Captain" Xia En turned his head, and the petite girl Nie Yan ran into his arms like she threw herself into his arms. At the same time, a slightly cool and moist feeling came from the lips. Shane immediately understood what was happening. This time, he did not escape, but responded enthusiastically to the kiss. After a kiss. Joey reluctantly let go of his embrace, and then waved to Xia En with red eyes. "Mr. Captain, I will wait for your return!" (End of chapter) Chapter 361 Sneak into [Great Flame], [Room from whi Chapter 361: Sneaking into [Great Flame], [Room from which there is no escape] after parting It''s time to officially enter the battlefield. In the afternoon. A total of ten members of the infiltration operation have gathered at the pre-arranged location. When they met before, they had told each other their names and had a general understanding. Except for a few acquaintances that Shane knew. The rest are basically strong men who have been famous in the Seven Seas for a long time. There are both old instructors from the federal military and geniuses who once dominated the seven seas. Although they come from different islands and sea areas, and have different personalities and abilities, they gather here for the same goal. This made Xia En feel quite emotional. Because the situation of [Great Flame] has been introduced before. Therefore, after this gathering, Moritz spoke directly without any hesitation. "Please stand on the magic circle in front. We will send you directly into the [Great Flame] through the teleportation magic circle." In the center of the field, a magic circle emitting a faint blue light was ready to go. Obviously in a semi-excited state. Xia En did not hesitate and took the lead in walking into the formation. Carles, Jane, An Bing, Latiwen and William followed closely behind. After that, its Benny and the other action members. Wait until everyone is standing on the teleportation circle. Not far away, Moritz glanced at each of their faces, as if he wanted to remember them all in his mind. Then, Moritz shouted softly: "Take off your hat! Salute!" Give an order. All soldiers and staff present gave a standard military salute to these ten operational members. Their expressions were solemn, with a touch of respect in their eyes. No matter their origin or origin, as long as they are in that position, they are worthy of doing this! Moritz said solemnly: "I hope you all...will return in triumph!" The next moment. A blue light then lit up, quickly engulfing all action members. When the light dissipated, everyone''s figures had disappeared. Moritz turned his head and said to the other soldiers. "Let''s go, we have our own mission to complete!" In the blue light. Along with a sense of weightlessness, Xia En felt as if his whole body was suddenly immersed in a whole new world! Soon, the surroundings lit up quickly. What appeared in Xia En''s eyes was a dark and closed cabin. There are a lot of black and green mold spots on the surrounding walls, and traces of rust can be seen everywhere. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time. But at the same time, Xia En also noticed that the styles of the furnishings in the room were very new and did not look like relics from the old era. Shane even saw the unique standard equipment of the modern navy. "here it is" After Xia En observed carefully for a moment, he came to the conclusion - This place is exactly a cabin inside the [King]. According to Moritz, there are also some relatively stable areas inside [Great Flame]. These areas will show the original appearance of the [King]. Obviously, Shane happened to be transported to such a place. In this case, I dont know whether its good luck or bad luck. The first time he regained consciousness, Xia En discovered that there were no other companions around him. Obviously, as Moritz reminded him before, they were dispersed by the twisted power of [Great Flame] at the moment of teleportation. Immediately, Xia En took out a special communicator and tried to contact his companions. "Shasha... Shasha..." Unfortunately, there was only a burst of electricity coming from the communicator. Perhaps, the communicator can only be reactivated when they are in the same memory scene. Faced with such an isolated and helpless situation, Xia En did not panic. After all, he had been mentally prepared before this. Xia En calmed down and searched the decaying cabin, hoping to find valuable information. And this search really paid off. There were many signs of smashing in the cabin. For example, there were broken wine bottles, lopsided table lamps, and desks that seemed to have been cleaned like a "desktop cleaning master." However, these traces do not appear to have been the result of a hard battle. It seemed like someone was doing it out of desperation. even Shane also saw a torn diary. Soon, Shane picked up the scattered pieces of paper and gradually pieced together some useful information. Today is the day to go to sea. [Colonel Gold said that this will be an important secret operation and he hopes we will be mentally prepared. [However, I cant think of any enemy that can stand in the way of the powerful [King]? [When this mission is over, I will give myself a long vacation and propose to my dear Mary. [May the storm protect me...] The first half of the diary contains the crew''s records from the time he went to sea to the time he arrived at the Cold Sea. During this period, although there were two or three storms and pirate ships, for the King, they were all insignificant disturbances. It did not affect the navigation of the [King] at all. Xia En quickly passed it over. It is worth mentioning. In the diary, he also saw the record about the [Black Swan] [As we approached the far north, we encountered a strange pirate ship. [Colonel Gold projected the appearance and situation of the ship for us. [When a nearby active volcano erupted, the ship resolutely broke into the rain of fire. [I have never seen a ship make such tactical moves. Countless smoke and fire, instead of destroying it, seemed to...become the nourishment of that ship! [If he didnt have another mission, Colonel Gold might have contacted the captain, right? Seeing these words, Xia En felt a little weird. But it is not difficult to see from this that the owner of the diary is not an ordinary crew member. At least, he has a certain identity and status on the [King]. Only in this way can we have close contact with Colonel Gold and get to know him better. Xia En continued to look down, and the situation in the diary suddenly became strange. [Something happened that I dont know about! [The door and windows of the room seemed to be locked from the outside world. I was trapped, and I had no idea why! [I thought it was a prank by other crew members until I found out...] [The scene outside the window, I dont know when, it became a picture that will never change! [I have tried to tear down the door, roof, walls and floor, but I have never been able to do it. My full blow could only leave a tiny scratch on the floor. [The most bizarre thing is that every time the time on the pocket watch passes twelve o''clock, most things in this room will be reset. [The water I drank, the food I ate, even the smashed wine bottles and scratches left on the floor will miraculously recover and appear in their original locations. [Only the diary...Only in this diary, the words recorded have not disappeared! [I cannot explain this phenomenon with the knowledge I know, and I cannot escape from this room. [But I think Colonel Gold will definitely notice my disappearance and launch a rescue operation. [As long as I persist for a while, I will definitely be saved. [I decided to start timing from today to avoid confusing time. Later, records of dates began to appear in the diary. [On the first day, rescue did not come. [I started reading the books stored in the room to pass the time. On the second day, rescue did not come. [These books are written like a piece of shit. I regret not listening to Marys advice and buying more classics. [On the 10th day, the rescue plane still did not come. [I finished reading the book. [What I feel now is boredom, very boring. [I want to sleep but cant, right! liquor! As long as you are drunk, you can fall asleep, right? [In order to keep my mind clear, I have been refraining from drinking, but now I cant care so much. [Day 28, or 29th. [No matter what, it doesnt matter anymore. [I slept drunk all day, drank when I woke up, and time flew by very quickly. [But I cant help but wonder, will rescue really come? [No, as long as I persist, I will definitely be able to...] [Its about the 100th day. I''ve had enough! [I was locked up in this small room all day long, eating the same thing, drinking the same thing, and having nothing to do. It was like a prisoner without freedom. [If this continues, I will be driven crazy! I want to go out, I want to go out! Day 161? An incredible thing happened! [When I turned the doorknob, I felt it was a little loose. [This may mean that I can escape from this **** ghost place! [Could it be that...the goddess of luck finally came to me? [Its just that the world outside the door may not still be the [King] at this time. I wont drink anymore. I have to be ready to leave here. [The door opens. [But outside the door is a completely unfamiliar place. [They actually call themselves the citizens of "Great Yan"! [Are you kidding me? That''s basically a country that has long since perished! [Also, why is everyone ignoring me, as if they cant see me at all? Whats going on? [The 2nd day after the door is unlocked. [I pushed the door open again, but there was only ice and snow outside, which almost froze me to death. [I could only hide back in the room in a hurry. Day 3. [The world outside the door has changed again. [This time it is a magnificent palace, it seems to be a royal palace. [Same as before, no one noticed my presence. [But no matter what, I dont want to be locked in that room anymore. [So I have been wandering around this palace, and with the help of the "hidden" feature, I did see some good scenery. [But suddenly, I saw a man whose whole body was burning with flames. [Just looking at him, I feel like I''m going to burn myself to death. [He glanced at me and said: ''Where did the ghost come from? ] [Then the next moment, I returned to this cabin again. Its so baffling! I obviously still have a heartbeat, breathing, and can still eat and drink. Why does he call me a ghost? etc [Am I really still eating and drinking? When was the last time I ate? At this point, the handwriting of the owner of this diary has become extremely trembling and distorted. On the next page, such panic and despair finally reached its extreme. Fake! It''s all fake! [The world outside the door is all a figment of my imagination! [They are all my hallucinations. I am still alive. I must still be alive! [But why, those people cant see me...Why, even though I scratched my skin with a knife, no blood came out...] No...no! It turns out that I have already...] The contents of the diary ended abruptly here. And Xia En looked at the empty navy uniform on the floor of the room and probably guessed the truth of the matter. The reason why this room has become such an inescapable state. I''m afraid it''s because of [Great Flame]''s possession. At that time, the owner of the diary died on the spot. All that is left is an undead soul whose obsession is as strong as [Great Flame]. This also shows from the side that [Great Flame] seems to have the ability to transform other Mystic Pathfinders into the same kind. Care must be taken. on the other hand. About half a year has passed in the diary owner''s physical sense. In fact, it has only been a little over two months since the [King] disappeared. This means that the flow rate of time inside [Great Flame] may be different from the outside world. [King] has rust marks on its surface and interior as if it had been abandoned for many years. It was probably caused by this kind of time erosion. Thinking of this, Xia En looked extremely serious and thought to himself. "We have to speed up." Just in case they haven''t had time to destroy the key nodes, the [Great Flame] from the outside world has already gone berserk. Then everything will be over. at the same time. Shane also noticed another piece of information revealed in the diary. After the diary owner opened the door, he seemed to see various different scenes, but he could always return to this room. This may mean- Compared to other areas of [Great Flame], the scenes are chaotic and changeable. This enclosed cabin is instead a relatively stable anchor point. Moreover, the interior of the room is relatively safe and there is no danger. In other words, outsiders such as Shane can use this place as a safe house when exploring. You can take a break here or use it as a gathering place. After sorting out the information. Xia En didn''t hesitate too much and walked directly to the door that had trapped the owner of the diary for nearly half a year. Even he didn''t know what he would see when he opened the door. Xia En took a deep breath, slowly turned the handle, and pushed the door open. Wow The moment he opened the door, a roar like a roaring mountain and a tsunami reached his ears. The sight that greeted him was quite shocking to him. The bright sunshine shines down through the blue sky. The cool but not cold breeze blows through, which is particularly pleasant. And what appeared in front of him was a magnificent and lively city! (End of chapter) Chapter 362 【Great Flame in History】【Wedding Day】 Chapter 362 [Great Flame in History] [Wedding Day] There is no doubt about it. This is an extremely spectacular and vivid city. Bustling pedestrians pass through the streets. On both sides of the road, shops were decorated with lights and vendors gave out enthusiastic and unique shouts. There are also mechanical devices that look like steam carriages to carry people. And further away. There are strange, steeple-shaped houses. Metal pipes snaked around the exterior walls of the houses, wrapping around the buildings like snakes. Pipes extending in all directions transform the fire into steam and transport it to every corner of the house. It is used both for heating and for powering various mechanical steam devices. The clothes that people wear and the style of architecture are different from any country that Shane has ever seen, and they are very unique. Here, Shane can also see a large number of flame-like signs and patterns. Some are like runes containing secret powers; Some look like primitive and ancient hieroglyphics; Others are simply some kind of decorative fire pattern. This bustling and lively scene immediately gave Xia En a big impact. Especially when one second it was a dark and closed cabin, and the next second he walked into a city like this. Even if he didn''t start asking for information, Xia En was sure This situation and scene happened in the [Great Yan Kingdom] that existed in the past! Of course, this is different from the previous times when Shane traveled back in time. This scene is just a picture in [Dayan]''s memory. However, because it is integrated into the memories of all the citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom], this scene appears extremely realistic. It was as if Xia En had really returned to the [Great Yan Kingdom]. Pedestrians nearby did not feel anything strange about Xia En''s appearance. They just looked at him strangely and quickly looked away. This is of course not because Xia En and the owner of the diary have become undead. But because... The combat uniform he wears, which is modified from the [Black Flame Robe], has the function of hiding his aura and reducing his sense of presence. Coupled with the lively scene in the city at this time. Naturally, not many people would pay too much attention to him. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Xia En''s next actions. After observing secretly for a moment, Xia En discovered that the city in front of him seemed to be in a festive atmosphere. Most people had smiles on their faces and were beaming with joy. Like something good happened. Vendors and residents even put up decorative ribbons, lights and flowers, adding a festive touch to the city. Xia En even saw many passers-by looking around in the city like himself. Judging from their attire, they were probably from other towns in the Great Yan Kingdom. They felt like country people coming to the city. This made Xia En more confident in his guess. There must have been some kind of grand event worthy of celebration in this city, just like the [Congress of All Nations] in [City of Giant Woods]. This attracted so many tourists. "The newspaper is sold! The newspaper is sold!" An eleven or twelve-year-old red-haired newsboy shouted on the street with two bundles of newspapers on his back. "Today''s headlines!" "Our salary king will marry the princess of [People of Ice and Snow] tomorrow. The wedding will be held at Chegbosa Square!" At that time, the square will be open to most tourists, but please be careful to maintain order and etiquette and not to insult our [Dayan Kingdom]s reputation. Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a look of astonishment on his face. Not to mention, there were actually newspapers circulating in Dayan''s era. More importantly... Marrying the princess of [People of Ice and Snow]? So, isn''t the time point presented by this memory exactly... The eve of the wedding day of An Bing and Xin Wang! ? Thinking of this, Xia En immediately understood where the festival-like atmosphere with lights and colorful lights in the city came from. For the people of [Dayan Kingdom], King Xin is not only the founder of this country, but also the leader who leads them to the path of prosperity and strength without having to endure hunger and cold. They naturally have extraordinary respect, love and admiration for King Xin. At this time, King Xin''s wedding naturally became a happy event for all the people. Of course there should be a good celebration. The conversations of several nearby passers-by also confirmed Xia Ens guess. "Alas, in a blink of an eye, it''s time for the king to get married." An old man with a beard and several scars on his face sighed to the people around him. "You may not believe it, but I was one of the first people to follow the king back then!" "The king at that time was just a young boy, shy and timid." "I was suddenly exiled to this cold and barren land. I was panicked at first and didn''t know what to do." "Who would have thought that he would later found the [Great Yan Kingdom] and accomplish such a great undertaking." ""you do not say! How else to say that the king is the king? " Others immediately responded. "The only person in history who can do such a thing is Wang." "And, under the leadership of Wang, our life will only get better and better in the future." The weather-stricken uncle nodded: "Yes, definitely!" Soon, he showed another mysterious smile. "I tell you, Wang was very handsome when he was young, even prettier than a little girl!" "I wonder what the princess of the [People of Ice and Snow] is like? Does she look good?" "Are you worthy of our king?" When talking about such gossipy topics, everyone became excited and talked about it. "I heard she is a great beauty!" "If she wasn''t pretty, the king wouldn''t marry her, right?" The uncle shook his head: "That''s not necessarily the case." "Wang is good at everything, but he is too soft-hearted. He always keeps some things in his heart and does not tell others." "Once again..." When talking about his past with King Xin, the uncle was full of pride and was obviously proud of it. Other passers-by also cast envious glances at him. This shows how popular King Xin is in the eyes of the people of [Dayan Kingdom]. Soon, an aunt came out of the room and without saying a word, slapped the uncle on the back of the head. "Stop bragging, does that count as following King Xin?" "Isn''t it just that when I was a cook, I helped Wang Xin cook two meals?" "I was deceived by your words when I was young. I''m still bragging at such an old age. I''m not ashamed!" The uncle was a little hesitant and muttered in a low voice. "What''s wrong, cooking doesn''t count as following? You bitch..." "Um?" The aunt glanced away coldly. The uncle trembled and said again: "You are so beautiful today, you are worthy of being my wife." Everyone nearby laughed, and the air was filled with joy. Listen to the conversations of these people and watch their lively and vivid expressions. Xia En''s mood was a bit complicated. If he hadn''t known it beforehand, he probably would never have thought that the people he was talking to were just afterimages of the past. How real they were really surprised Xia En. Moreover, Shane also realized that these people were not images without interaction. I can even communicate and communicate with them. Just like a real living person. This is because [Great Yan] integrates not only memories, but also the souls of every citizen of [Great Yan Kingdom], allowing the people in these memories to retain their previous personalities and behavior patterns. It can be said that [Great Yan] at this time is a virtual world with a high degree of fidelity. What may have happened in [Great Yan Country] in the past can also happen here. Didi! Suddenly, the communicator on Xia En''s body responded. "Shasha...is...Shasha...Captain Shane?" After connecting to the communicator, a familiar female voice immediately sounded. Although the signal of the communicator seemed to be affected by some kind of force, it was still barely usable. Hearing this voice, Xia En''s expression suddenly became strange. Because the person speaking is none other than [Princess Dayan] An Bing! And since communication can be achieved, it means that Anbing may not want to be located far away from him, or he may even be in this city! Shane quickly replied: "It''s me." "An Bing, where are you now?" An Bing''s voice paused. "Fanyan City, I am in Fanyan City now." Xia En asked doubtfully: "Fanyan City...that is?" "Fanyan City is the royal capital of [Great Yan Kingdom] and the most prosperous and bustling city in the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]." An Bing explained: "If I guessed correctly, you should already know it, right?" "This scene in my memory is exactly the day before my wedding." Shane responded: "That''s right." "Are you... okay?" "Thank you for your concern, but I''m not that fragile." An Bing replied: "I have already realized in my heart... Shasha..." "...There seems to be some problem with the signal of the communicator. Let''s meet at the Violet Cafe at No. 32 Belot Street." "You should be able to find out the location of this cafe by just asking passers-by." "In this era, the people of [Dayan Kingdom] are extremely friendly to strangers." "Okay, I will, see you later." Soon, Shane hung up the communicator and asked the uncle from before about the location of the cafe. Just as An Bing said, these people of [Great Yan Country] seem to have some kind of hospitality characteristics. The uncle not only pointed out the way for Xia En very enthusiastically, but also said. "Young man, I see you have just arrived in Fanyan City." "Don''t be afraid of strangers, just ask, what kind of people do we in Dayan have?" He thought quietly. "Hey, little brother, I see you are young. Do you have a wife?" "If you want to find a wife, I can introduce you to..." Seeing that the topic has turned to a blind date for Xia En. He couldn''t bear the enthusiasm, so he had to run away. However, before leaving, Xia En looked at the door he came from. On the surface, it was just the front entrance of an ordinary hut, and there was nothing surprising about it. When the door is pulled outward, you can even walk into the interior of the cabin. It''s also a very ordinary room. But if you hold the door handle and push it inward, you will see a dark and strange cabin! And for some reason, everyone else around him didn''t seem to see this door. Sure enough, it was just as recorded in the diary. You can return to the previous cabin through this door. Xia En silently remembered the location of the door, and then walked towards the agreed place. All the way. Xia En felt more and more the prosperous and vigorous atmosphere in Fanyan City. Almost everyone has light in their eyes and good expectations for the future. This may not be the most powerful period of [Great Yan Kingdom], but it is the most energetic period, like the sun at seven or eight o''clock in the morning. Even the shabby hawkers on the roadside will puff up their chests proudly when mentioning the name of [Dayan]. Xia En actually felt a little familiar with this scene. In the original [City of Giant Trees], there was also a similar atmosphere. However, the endings for both of them don''t seem to be good. To be honest, there was something that made Xia En feel strange. That is, he did not see any religious-related buildings or things in this city. Whether it is the [Hui Sect] that was the orthodox religion in the old days, or the [Deep Sea Church] that was widely spread in later generations. Even the most likely [Steam Church] has not left any trace in this city. This is actually quite rare. After all, there are always people who hope to gain some kind of sustenance and relief from religion. Not to mention, in this world, gods are actually real things. And the reason why [Great Yan Kingdom] is in this situation. Shane could only think of one explanation People here don''t believe in gods, they only believe in themselves and the fire in their hands. Of course, there is also the salary king who leads them forward. Not long after. Shane came to the Violet Cafe. For [Dayan Kingdom] at this time, coffee shops seemed to be a new thing. People seem to prefer spirits to coffee. Therefore, there were not many customers in the cafe and it seemed a bit deserted. However, the environment of the entire cafe is very good, quiet and stylish, and not outdated at all from a modern perspective. Xia En quickly found the dark ice in a corner. There was a cup of coffee on the table in front of An Bing, exuding a fragrant aroma. Looking at An Bing at this time, Xia En had a strange feeling inexplicably. Although this woman now wears a hood and a veil, her whole person perfectly blends in with the atmosphere of this cafe. Elegant and calm. As if...she should be sitting there. In other words, this position belongs to her? "You''re here?" Seeing Xia En walking in front of him, An Bing came to his senses belatedly, as if he had just been separated from some memory. Noticing Xia En''s gaze, An Bing''s smile was a little bitter. "Sorry for making you laugh." She opened her mouth to explain: "Actually... I was a regular customer of this cafe a long time ago." "Even after I get married, I will come here to order a cup of coffee and enjoy a quiet afternoon." I didnt expect that after so many years, I could still taste the coffee here. "And the taste is really the same as before..." An Bing''s tone was extremely complicated. There is joy, relief, and irresolvable melancholy. (End of chapter) Chapter 363 The dark ice of the past, the way to sne Chapter 363 Dark Ice from the Past, How to Sneak into the Palace Once you have lost something, you will know how to cherish it more. For people like An Bing who have lost their country, they can see the old [Great Yan Kingdom] again and live in it as before. How could she not be touched by it? Human beings are such a creature. Sometimes even though we know it is an illusion or an illusion, we still cannot help but get immersed in it. However, in order to prevent Dark Ice from evolving into a situation of "What''s wrong with the world of illusion?", Xia En still reminded him. "Ms. Dark Ice, please don''t forget, this is just a memory scene reappeared by [Great Flame]." "Dreams will wake up..." "Don''t worry, I can''t tell the difference between memory and reality, I just feel a little nostalgic." An Bing sighed softly: "And you are right, dreams will wake up." "All this will turn into nothing with the awakening of [Great Flame]." Hearing what An Bing said, Xia En relaxed a little. Then, he changed the subject and said, "Do you have any clues about that key node?" Although the [Great Yan Kingdom] seems to be full of flowers and lively at the moment, Xia En knows very well that he is not here to be a historical tourist. Eliminating those five key nodes and completely destroying [Great Flame] is the purpose of their trip. When it came to business, An Bing also restrained the sentimentality just now, straightened his expression and said. "[Fire] has no response for the time being, and the range it can detect key nodes should be limited." Feedback is only given once we get close enough. "I see." Shane looked surprised. Strictly speaking, [Fire] is like a radar that can search for key nodes. It''s just that the range of this radar cannot cover the entire Fanyan City. Xia En and others need to take the initiative to search. At this time, An Bing added. "However, I also have a rough guess as to where the key nodes may exist." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Please speak." "If I guess correctly, the so-called node of [Great Yan] is probably the obsession of the people of Great Yan." "So, it is very likely that it is located in a place that they highly identify with or value." "For example... the palace of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved. He had not thought carefully about the relationship between key nodes and [Great Yan Kingdom] before. But now after listening to An Bing''s words, I found that this might indeed be the case. However, there was one more thing that made Xia En a little curious. That is In what specific form will this node appear? Is it a thing, a person, or some other indescribable existence? However, I am afraid that this problem can only be known by seeing the node in person. After gathering his thoughts, Xia En asked. "So, shall we go directly to the palace now?" An Bing shook his head: "I''m afraid not. In fact, I went to survey the area around the palace before." "Right now, it''s the eve of King Xin''s wedding, and the guards around the palace are extremely tight." "There are even several legendary-level auras patrolling the area." "Whether it is sneaking in or forcing a breakthrough, it is unrealistic. We must find other ways." "legend" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but frown. In the past [Great Yan Kingdom], there were naturally legendary level experts. But Xia En didn''t expect that these people would also be recreated by [Great Flame]. If you think about it carefully, the power and realm of [Great Flame] are far beyond those of ordinary legends, and the remnant souls of these legendary powerful people are used as raw materials. It is not that difficult to simulate what they looked like in history. on the other hand. [Great Yan] only does not allow outsiders of the legendary secret path to enter. There is a legendary realm in his body, which is a normal phenomenon. Even the legendary strong men he reappeared were weaker than those in history. But for Xia En and others, this is still an insurmountable chasm. It can be said that from the beginning, this was not an equal battle. "This is going to be difficult." Shane muttered to himself. This combat uniform may be able to hide from the perception of ordinary mystics. But it is undoubtedly a fantasy to sneak into the palace in front of the legendary strong man. As for a head-on confrontation with a legendary powerhouse? Still in his old nest in Dayan Palace? Even Xia En felt this was too reckless. However, Xia En looked at An Bing''s expression and found that she was not nervous or anxious, but felt confident. Xia En''s heart moved and he asked. "Ms. An Bing, have you already thought of a way?" "That''s right." An Bing admitted frankly. "Since we can''t sneak in and attack by force, we have no choice but to walk into the palace openly." "ah?" Upon hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment. "What''s the meaning?" "Wait, could it be that..." Just when Xia En vaguely guessed something. Ringing A clear and sweet sound came from the wind chime at the door of the coffee shop, and the door was pushed open. A girl walked in from the door. "Boss! As usual, a cup of Earl''s Mountain black tea and your best freshly baked cranberry biscuits." "Okay!" This girl was obviously a regular visitor to the coffee shop, and the female owner in a purple dress greeted her warmly. "But Xiaobing, your position today..." The girl turned her head and saw Xia En and the two of them not far away, and was suddenly surprised. After hesitating for a moment, she walked towards the two of them. at the same time. Xia En''s heart also caused quite a stir. He was extremely familiar with this girl''s appearance. Because...this is surprisingly An Bing who is several years younger! Compared to the An Bing he knew. The person in front of me is clearly still a girl in her prime, more innocent and lively, giving people a youthful feeling. He doesn''t have that indifferent temperament. In terms of charm, perhaps the princess version of An Bing, which is now fully bloomed, mature, noble and elegant, and has a touch of young womanliness, is even better. But when anyone sees such a young and cheerful girl. I''m afraid they will all have the feeling that "the corpse spots have faded". The moment he saw the girl, Xia En understood what An Bing''s plan was. "you" Before Xia En could speak, the girl An Bing had already walked up to the two of them. Looking at the coffee on the table, she sniffed and said in surprise. "Huh? Is it also Earl''s Mountain black tea?" "You have great taste!" The girl An Bing smiled and looked at the hooded An Bing sitting on the seat. "I thought not many people knew about this treasure shop!" I dont usually have many customers, but I didnt expect to meet someone who likes to drink Earls Mountain black tea here as much as I do today. "Even the seats we want to sit in are the same. We are really destined..." Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. Isn''t it fate? You two are basically the same person! However, Xia En also knew that the girl An Bing in front of him was not her in real history. It is just an existence born from the cognition and memory of [Great Flame]. Even because the real An Bing did not die in the disaster, he lacked the remaining soul after death. Her behavior patterns and personality will also deviate from the original body to a certain extent. Xia En glanced at An Bing beside him and didn''t say anything. In his opinion, this is An Bing''s own private matter after all. No matter what An Bing plans to do to An Bing in front of her, it should be her own decision. The silence didn''t last long. Seeing that the two of them didn''t reply, the girl An Bing was not discouraged, but said with slightly red cheeks and a little shyness. "Actually...I''m getting married tomorrow." "I don''t know if I will have another chance to come to this cafe in the future, so I want to have one last coffee at this old location." "Can you two please make it easier? As soon as these words came out, the first person to react was the owner of the coffee shop not far away. "What? Xiaobing, are you getting married?" "When did it happen? Why didn''t you tell me first?" The girl An Bing was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, it''s because my situation is quite special." " "It''s a marriage contract made in the family." "To this day, I haven''t met my fianc yet!" "Huh? It''s too much for such a thing to happen." The female boss looked filled with indignation: "Aren''t you taking your marriage as a trivial matter?" "What if that fianc turns out to be some idle prodigal? Wouldn''t your whole life be ruined?" The girl An Bing whispered: "It shouldn''t be possible, right?" "Everyone says that my fianc is an upright and good man." "Even enemies will show admiration when his name is mentioned." The coffee shop owner shook his head disapprovingly. "Hearsay is unreliable. Who knows if others are saying good things for him?" "To take a step back, even if these news are true." "Marriage is not about a man''s strength, but whether he treats his wife well and whether he cares about his family." "What if he has many mistresses outside, attracting bees and butterflies all day long, will his life be easy?" Hearing this, the girl An Bing seemed a little shaken, but she still said. "He shouldn''t be that kind of person." Shane''s expression was a little strange. He was a little curious, how would the boss react if he knew that the person he was evaluating would be the current salary king in [Great Yan Country]? "Humph, I''m not married yet, so I''m just talking for him." "Xiaobing, I''m afraid your life will not be easy in the future." The female boss had obviously been emotionally hurt, and she vowed: "In short, no man can be trusted!" "I came to Dayan Country before to escape from my original betrothed." "If you also want to escape from marriage, you can contact me." "I will help you find the safest possible way to the Southern Continent." "No, no, no, no need!" The girl pressed the ice and waved her hands quickly. "Boss, I appreciate your kindness, but this is also a responsibility I must fulfill." Seeing this, the coffee shop owner stopped trying to persuade him and left silently. The girl An Bing looked at Xia En and the two, waiting for their reply. At this time, An Bing spoke. "We are really destined to each other, why don''t we sit down and talk." "this" The girl An Bing hesitated. If it were any other stranger, she would certainly not agree to such a request. But for some reason, the girl felt that this extremely mysterious woman had an indescribable sense of familiarity and intimacy. So, after hesitating for a moment, the girl An Bing sat down and said. "What do you want to talk about?" "Let''s talk about your engagement." An Bing said: "If I say. Although you and your husband are meeting for the first time." "But after you get married, your husband will be very good to you and will take good care of you and meet your needs." "He will also take you to walk in the snow and see the beautiful scenery in various parts of [Great Yan Kingdom]. Will you fall in love with him?" The girl An Bing looked at her with a strange expression. "Of course, he is so good to me and he is my husband, why shouldn''t I fall in love with him?" An Bing continued. "Then what if, later you find out that his behavior towards you is to stabilize your family and for the overall situation of [Great Yan]." "Will you still love him? The girl An Bing was silent for a moment: "Should... or will, right?" "Although I feel a little embarrassed in my heart, I have always ignored my heart and deeds." "As long as he''s always been nice to me, why should I expose that?" Dark Ice''s next question followed. "Then let me ask you, what if one day suddenly, you discover that... your husband is taking action against your family." "Your mother might even die in his hands. What would you do?" By this time, the girl An Bing finally realized something was wrong. "What are you talking about?" "How is this possible?" An Bing said in a cold tone: "Just think that I made a bold assumption." "So, what''s your answer?" The girl''s face showed some struggle, but she still said. "I should ask him, why did he do this? What is the truth of the matter?" "very good." An Bing nodded and said in a slightly cruel tone. "And after you did this, instead of giving you an answer, your husband relegated you to the cold palace and never wanted to see you again." "You will live alone like this until the end of time..." "What I want to ask is, if the future really turns out to be like this, will you regret not running away from your marriage today and leaving this city that is destined to bring you sorrow?" This question made the girl An Bing completely lost in thought. Struggle and confusion flashed across her face. After a long silence, she spoke. "I think... I probably won''t regret it, right?" "Even if the final outcome is a tragedy, if you don''t start, how will it end?" "Besides, I believe that even if that happens, there must be his reasons." "In other words, it''s something I didn''t do well enough." "If I could have noticed the problem earlier and solved it, things would have ended differently!" The girl An Bing said extremely seriously. Those big bright eyes seemed to be shining, which made Xia En and An Bing beside him feel a little dazzling. "It''s actually like this..." An Bing said to himself in a daze. "So...is this who I used to be?" She looked at her young self in front of her, and some of the knots in her heart were quietly untied. At this time, the girl An Bing asked cautiously. "Sister, who are you?" An Bing took off a corner of her veil and said, "Actually, I am you in the future." "And now, I''d like you to do me a small favor... (End of chapter) Chapter 364 【Country of Unbelief】【Great Yan Palace】 Chapter 364 [Country of Faithlessness] [Great Yan Palace] After a while. Xia En and the other two left the Violet Cafe with the girl An Bing. Regarding the statement that "the woman in front of me is myself from the future". Although the girl An Bing acted extremely shocked, she quickly accepted the status quo and agreed to An Bing''s request. This is not only because of the highly similar faces, but also because... The extremely detailed and realistic future described by An Bing! "It turns out that I will look so good-looking in the future!" Walking on the road, the girl An Bing looked carefully at An Bing beside her and whispered in a low voice. "As expected of me!" Xia En couldn''t help but laugh a little. After all, she is still a girl at heart, so it is normal for her to be concerned about this kind of issue. Soon, the three of them arrived at a hotel in Fanyan City. After renting a room from the hotel owner, the three of them walked in. The girl An Bing then realized that she was a little wary and asked. "By the way, what is it that you want to ask me to help you with?" "Why did you bring me here?" "Actually, the favor I want to ask you for is very simple..." A trace of guilt flashed in the eyes under the dark ice veil. "Then please take a nap first." Then she stretched out her hand and patted the girl''s back gently. "Varied" The girl An Bing didn''t react at all. She only felt a chill coming from the back of her heart, and her consciousness seemed to be frozen. He just passed out. "Feel sorry." An Bing supported the girl''s limp body and said softly. "Go to sleep, everything will be over when you wake up." From beginning to end, Xia En just watched An Bing''s behavior. There is no obstruction and no support. Only then did Xia En speak. "Sure enough... do you want to enter the palace directly as yourself?" "That''s right." An Bing admitted frankly: "It is also the safest and most secure method." "You have heard what she said just now. In fact, it was not until the wedding day that I met King Xin for the first time." "By the same token, before that, he didn''t know what kind of person I was?" "As for other people in the family, I can hide it from them with a little disguise." An Bing smiled bitterly. "It can be said that this is a plan that only I can realize." "The only problem is the way [Great Flame] has shaped me." "In fact, the best way is to erase it directly." "However, I know that she is just a figment, but I still can''t be cruel." "Sorry, Captain Shane, I made you laugh." Shane shook his head: "I think you are right to do this." "For a person who can kill even his past self without hesitation, I will only feel a chill." "And cannot be considered a companion." "Is that so?" An Bing glanced at Xia En with a complicated expression. "Captain Shane, has anyone told you that you are very similar to King Xin?" "Um?" Hearing this, Xia En was startled. He didn''t expect that An Bing would make such a comment about him. Thinking about it carefully, Joey seems to have said something similar? Maybe...he and King Xin do have something in common. This is probably why he can get along so well with Yan Yan. The two did not discuss this topic in depth. After simply placing the unconscious girl An Bing. An Bing took Xia En out of the hotel and walked towards an area in Fanyan City. On the way, Xia En casually asked about the faith of [Great Yan Kingdom]. An Bing was not particularly surprised that Xia En had observed this, but directly admitted it frankly. "That''s right." "In [Great Yan Country], the majority are those without faith." "Only a handful of people pray to the gods." An Bing explained: "The reason is also very simple." "Actually, the first batch of citizens of [Great Yan Kingdom] are those who were exiled." "Many of them were exiled to the [Far North] because they offended the church on the southern continent." "It can also be regarded as a historical issue." "And under the rule of King Xin, the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] also discovered that they can still live a good life even without gods." "Over time, fewer and fewer people believe in gods, and even if foreign priests and priests come to [Great Yan Country] to preach, they often have little effect." "Later, most churches classified [Great Yan Kingdom] as an [unbelieving country] and never sent missionaries here again, which eventually evolved into today''s situation." "[The country of faithlessness]..." Shane muttered the name repeatedly. Now he suddenly understood why [Great Yan Country] was rejected by other countries in the first place. Obviously, faith is a factor that cannot be ignored. For some kingdoms, a country without faith is undoubtedly terrible. Especially when they have no faith but still possess terrifying cohesion. This will undoubtedly be regarded as pure heresy by many kingdoms! While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of a cold-looking mansion. When he walked to the gate of the mansion, An Bing took off the veil on his face. She seems to have applied some kind of disguise to her appearance, making her look slightly younger, closer to the girlish version of Dark Ice. Although the cold temperament still exists, unless you are a close relative, it is difficult to distinguish such a small difference. Just like some time-travelers, even if they are slightly different from the original owner after traveling through time. But in the eyes of others, they would only feel that he suddenly changed his temper, and would not suspect that he had been replaced by another person. "Miss, are you back?" Soon, the guard at the door came to greet him and said hello respectfully. "The patriarch has been waiting for you for a long time." The other guard looked at Xia En beside An Bing. "Miss, who is this?" An Bingmian did not change his expression and opened his mouth to explain. "This is the personal bodyguard sent by King Xin. It is said that he is here to protect my safety." Hearing this, the two guards did not have the slightest doubt and quickly stood in awe. There are also differences among the guards. And the status of the people sent by King Xin must be higher than them. The two people immediately stopped blocking him: "Miss, sir, please come in." In this way, Xia En and An Bing easily entered the mansion. In the passage with no outsiders, An Bing explained. "This is our family''s residence in [Fanyan City]. Usually the young people of the family live here." "The older generation generally hates the [Great Yan Kingdom] and feels that they have destroyed the tranquility and purity of the [Far North]." "But young people do the exact opposite." "After all, this city is much more lively than the cold ice field before, and there are all kinds of novel things that have never been seen before..." While he was talking, several young men and women came from a short distance away. Seeing An Bing, one of the girls immediately smiled and walked over. "Sister An Bing! You are back!" "Xiao Wan..." Seeing this girl, An Bing''s expression immediately became complicated and gentle. "Congratulations, you will become the princess of [Great Yan Kingdom] tomorrow." The girl named Xiaowan joked: "When we meet again in the future, I will call you Your Highness the Princess." An Bing shook his head: "No, you can call me sister anytime you want." Xiaowan''s expression was a little strange. She always felt that there was something different about Sister An Bing in front of her? But where exactly it is, I can''t tell. Moreover, why is Sister An Bing looking at her so sad? An Bing didn''t care about the strange looks in others'' eyes and continued. "From now on, when I''m not by your side, remember to eat well and don''t study secret techniques until it''s too late." "It''s best not to go out alone..." She talked like an old lady. Xiaowan looked confused and confused. "Sister An Bing, you are so weird today." Someone next to him explained: "I''m probably getting married tomorrow. Isn''t An Bing''s mood ups and downs a bit?" "By the way, Miss An Bing, the clan leader is waiting for you in the room." "Go quickly, otherwise she will be angry again." "I see." An Bing nodded, glanced at Xiaowan reluctantly, and turned around to leave. After parting with this group of people, An Bing said to Xia En. "Xiaowan is my most beloved cousin, and she has been the best with me since childhood." "Even after we got married, she would often come to the palace to visit me." "But then one day, I suddenly learned about Xiaowan''s disappearance." Xia En frowned: "Could it be that..." "Yes, according to my investigation, she should also be locked up in that weird underground research institute." An Bing''s smile was bitter, but his eyes were particularly determined. "I have made up my mind to find the truth of the past in [Great Flame]." "No matter what the final result is, I will pursue it to the end!" "This is what I was taught when I was young." Then, An Bing looked at Xia En seriously. "Captain Shane, can I ask you to lend me a helping hand?" Xia En was slightly startled. He didn''t expect An Bing to suddenly make such a request. But leaving aside his relationship with Yan Yan, he has already advanced to the secret keeper and wants to be promoted and increase his strength. The fastest way is to explore the secrets buried in history. This coincides with An Bing''s request. In other words, Xia En would do this even without An Bing''s request. Therefore, he did not hesitate and said directly. "Of course." An Bing''s face showed gratitude. "Thank you, Captain Shane." Not long after. An Bing went to the room to find her mother. Since it was mother and daughter meeting, it was not convenient for Xia En to accompany them, so they could only be placed in a room and waited silently. Until late afternoon. An Bing came to Xia En again. "Captain Shane, because we have to prepare for tomorrow''s wedding, we can enter the palace today." "Please come with me." Accompanied by An Bing and other [Ice and Snow People] family guards, Xia En finally arrived in front of the Great Yan Palace. This palace is a little different from other palaces that Xia En has seen before. It gives people a feeling of grandeur rather than elegance. The entire palace complex has almost no decorative structures. Things like reliefs and murals are completely missing. The most important and only decoration is the strange and mysterious flame pattern on the wall. It is said that this is called [Fire Pattern] by the people of Dayan. It is not only the intention of fire, but also the symbol of their country. With such a simple and concise architectural form, at first glance, it looks more like an indestructible fortress than a palace. To be honest, this is not the same palace that Xia En expected. But it fits the [Great Yan Kingdom] and the temperament of the salary king very well. And An Bing''s time living in this palace can already be measured in years, so naturally there will be no surprise. There was only a deep nostalgia in her expression. The place where Xia En and others are going now is located behind the palace. in the original history. This is where An Bing spent her last night before her wedding. Then early the next morning, they would be dressed up by a dedicated person, put on complicated and gorgeous wedding clothes, and complete the sacred and grand wedding. Although An Bing''s name is just the princess. But in fact, King Xin did not intend to marry another woman. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the de facto queen of [Great Yan Kingdom]. This wedding will naturally appear extremely grand and grand. This is when An Bing needs to make these preparations in advance. And the person who came to guide the way was surprisingly an "acquaintance" of Xia En and the two - [Black Flame Walker] Irina! However, Irina did not know Xia En at this time. She also glanced at Xia En with some doubts. "Excuse me, are you..." An Bing quickly gave a reasonable explanation: "He is a personal guard sent by our family, and he is considered my natal family." "When the wedding is over, he will naturally leave." Shane''s mouth twitched. Where do you put this matryoshka doll? However, with An Bing''s guarantee, the identity of a guard is very credible. At this time, Irina didn''t have any doubts and said clearly. "I see, you should be more careful." "In the past two days, it seems that a mysterious person of unknown origin has sneaked into the palace. I don''t know what he wants to do?" "hiss" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Irina realized that she had made a mistake and quickly shut her mouth. This kind of thing should not be said to the future princess. "Um?" Hearing this, An Bing frowned suddenly. "The mysterious man who sneaked into the palace?'' In her memory, nothing like this happened on the eve of her wedding. Is this an error in [Dayan]''s memory? Or are there other factors that changed this memory scene? Xia En looked at An Bing''s expression and quickly realized that the situation was abnormal. Unidentified outsider? The first thing that Xia En thought of was the other members of the infiltration operation. However, when Irina wasn''t paying attention, he turned on the communicator to check. The communication target displayed on the communicator is still An Bing. And, judging from the time. A few days before this memory scene, Xia En and others should not have started the infiltration operation. Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly thought of a guess that made his hair stand on end. Could it be... In addition to these action members, are there other people who have entered the interior of [Great Flame]? (End of chapter) Chapter 365 [Omniscient Sage] [Meet King Xin! 】 Chapter 365 [The Omniscient Sage] [Meet King Xin! Although this guess sounds incredible. But after ruling out other possibilities, what remains seems to be the truth. And the question is - Who exactly infiltrated [Great Flame]? Still, the military was barely aware of it. Suddenly, a guess broke into Xia En''s mind - Truth Society! During this period, the disappearance of the [Truth Society] was an abnormal thing. Plus the member of the [Truth Society] who suddenly disappeared and was supposed to carry out the infiltration operation. The whereabouts of the [Truth Society] have undoubtedly become more suspicious. However, what confused Xia En was... [Truth Society] What is the purpose of doing this? If it was to eliminate the undead [Great Flame], they could cooperate with the federal military, so why would they do it privately? Even for that bet, this approach is extremely unreasonable. It can be inferred from this that the purpose of the [Truth Society] is definitely not that simple. "Buzz..." That''s when. The wooden box containing [Fire] in Xia En''s arms suddenly vibrated slightly. "This is?" Xia En felt a little warmth coming from the wooden box, and enlightenment quickly emerged in his heart. Obviously, this is when [Fire] senses the existence of the node and reacts. This also means that An Bing''s guess is correct. The key node of [Great Flame] is inside this palace! Moreover, it is not too far away from them. Xia En glanced at An Bing and found that her expression had also changed, and she was obviously aware of the change in [Fire]. However, what happened next was a bit unexpected for the two of them. soon. The temperature of the [fire] in their arms continues to rise, becoming more and more ironing. The amplitude of the vibration is also becoming more and more intense. Xia En and An Bing looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other''s eyes. This phenomenon can only mean - The distance between that key node and them is rapidly shortening! On the other hand. The speed of their travel has not changed. In other words, that node is not something fixed somewhere, but has the ability to act on its own! And at this time, the "node" actively approached the two of them! Neither Shane nor Xia En had any expectations for this situation. His face could not help but change slightly. Xia En reacted quickly and looked around. Look for possible nodes. However, there are many blind spots in the entire palace. He was not familiar with the terrain here. After scanning around, Xia En didn''t see any suspicious targets. Instead, it was his actions that attracted Irina''s suspicious gaze. "Sir, what are you looking at?" Think about it too. As an important place in the Great Yan Kingdom, the royal palace has a very special status. If an outsider looks around here, it will inevitably arouse others'' vigilance. Xia En had no choice but to calm down his gaze silently and explain. "I come from a small place. It''s my first time seeing the palace. I''m really a little curious. Please forgive me." "oh" Irina nodded. She reluctantly accepted this statement, but her eyes were obviously a little more wary. Observing Xia En from time to time prevented him from looking around openly. And, just when Xia En opened his mouth to explain. The previously agitated [Tinder] calmed down very quickly and no longer felt like it was being ironed. Xia En cried out in his heart that it was a pity. Obviously, that key node has moved away from them again. Opportunities are always fleeting. If you miss it, it will undoubtedly become extremely difficult to find it again. An Bing also had a similar look on his face. Not long after. Irina led the two of them to a relatively deserted side hall. This is just a place where they stay for one night. The palace belonging to An Bing has actually been built, but he can only move into it after he officially gets married tomorrow. But even so. This side hall does not look simple, but is thoughtfully decorated with some festive decorations. Moreover, there are elite soldiers patrolling the surrounding area. As he went deeper into the palace. Xia En and the two clearly felt that there were several powerful auras as deep as mountains lurking nearby. That was the legendary strongman in the [Great Yan] Palace. There are several legendary auras lingering around this side hall. Obviously, this was both curiosity and protection for the future princess. However, after realizing this, Xia En''s mood sank slightly. Under the protection of so many strong men, their safety is guaranteed. But on the other hand, if they wanted to do some tricks in the palace or conduct investigations secretly, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult. An Bing asked Irina with half emotion and half doubt. "Why are there so many legendary strong men in the palace?" "Are they all here to act as guards? Irina explained: "It''s not because of those mysterious people who sneaked into the palace a few days ago." "If similar incidents happen again, where will [Xinwang]''s face be?" "Besides, it''s just in time for your wedding to the king." "In order to prevent this wedding from going wrong, the king urgently dispatched several legendary powerhouses to ensure that the wedding is successfully completed." Irina patted her chest and vowed. "Leave your safety to us!" Xia En understood immediately upon hearing this. This was the chain reaction caused by those mysterious people sneaking in, making the entire palace extremely tightly guarded. However, such a defensive network not only prevented the intrusion of suspicious persons, but also severely frustrated the plans of Xia En and the others. Now, they have come in, but they still cannot move freely. Even if you want to visit the palace, you will definitely be accompanied by [Black Flame Walker]. "Okay, I''ll send you here." "If you have any needs, you can always discuss it with the guards outside the palace." "As long as we can do it, we will try our best to satisfy it." After that, Irina walked outside the palace to wait without any delay. After arriving in a room with no outsiders. An Bing''s face looked a little ugly. "This is troublesome. I didn''t expect such a change to happen." Xia En also frowned slightly. The appearance of the mysterious infiltrator undoubtedly disrupted their plans. And being surrounded by so many powerful people, even Xia En felt a little trapped in barriers and restricted everywhere. What depressed the two of them the most was. This seems to be the result of them throwing themselves into a trap? "The mysterious man who sneaked into the palace..." "Is their purpose also the node of [Great Flame]?" An Bing quickly had such doubts and asked. Shane replied: "Not necessarily." "Miss Anbing, I wonder if you have ever heard of...[The Truth Society]?" "[Truth Society]?" An Bing looked confused and shook his head. "I had not heard of this organization." Therefore, Xia En briefly introduced his understanding of the [Truth Society] to An Bing and explained. "This matter is most likely the work of the [Truth Society]." "They seem to be planning some conspiracy behind the federal officials'' back." "[Truth Society]...crazy people pursuing [truth]..." After hearing these words, An Bing''s face changed slightly and he murmured. "Although I have never heard of the [Truth Society], in the years before I fell into eternal sleep, I heard that [King Xin] had contact with a man who claimed to be [The Omniscient Sage]." "At that time, [Xinwang] tried every means to prevent the great flood from coming, and even tried some methods that are considered taboo now." "The reason why he came into contact with the [Omniscient Sage] was because he wanted to learn from him the way to solve the disaster of annihilation." "As for what he said in the conversation with the [Omniscient Sage], I don''t know." "But I remember one thing. The [Omniscient Sage] claimed that he was on the path of pursuing absolute truth." "Perhaps...he has some kind of connection with the [Truth Society] in later generations?" "[Omniscient Sage]?" Upon hearing this name, Xia En frowned suddenly. This name is in line with the usual naming style of the [Truth Society]. Moreover, in the era of [Great Flame], the current [Truth Society] may not have been born. In other words, its form and name have changed several times over a long period of time. Only in the end did it evolve into the present [Truth Society]. Therefore, it is entirely possible that An Bing does not know about the [Truth Society] but has heard about the [Omniscient Sage]. Moreover, the prefix [omniscient] is definitely not something that ordinary people would dare to use. Even the teachings of some gods do not dare to mention "omniscience and omnipotence". Apart from the exaggeration, those who dare to take this nickname must have their own extraordinary qualities. Inexplicable. Xia En suddenly remembered something that Jian once told him - In the [Truth Society], the attribution of most truth numbers will be re-ordered as members change and research results are released. But there is only one serial number, and it has never changed since the establishment of the [Truth Society]. That is, truth number NO.001! That is, in the legend, the existence that founded the [Truth Society]. But even Jane, the truth number NO.008, has never seen that man with her own eyes. I dont even know his name in the [Truth Society]. The only thing that is known is that this president has left some important documents and materials in the [Truth Society], which determined the path and direction of the [Truth Society]. at this time. It was difficult for Xia En not to associate this mysterious president of the [Truth Society] with the [Omniscient Sage] mentioned by An Bing. Even without any basis, Xia En felt that they were most likely the same person! Just at this moment. A glimmer of light flashed in Xia En''s eyes again. Several lines of information appeared in [The Eye of Peeping Secrets]. You discovered a new "secret"! [The establishment of the "Truth Society"! [The secret solution density is +33%! ["[Great Flame] The Mystery of the Nation''s Destruction" solution density +4%! You have received a gift from "Secret"! [Comprehensive quality: 3132! Feeling the slightly improved power and looking at the several lines of text flashing before his eyes, Xia En''s heart moved. "Sure enough, my guess was right." "That [Omniscient Sage] is most likely the founder of the [Truth Society]! Only then will he receive the [Secret] gift!" Xia En thought about it carefully and found out There is no independent relationship between these [secrets]. The cracking of one [Secret] will also simultaneously increase the decryption density of other [Secrets]. It''s just that the proportions occupied by these key information are different. At this time, the information on the panel still explains. There is also an important relationship between this [Omniscient Sage] and the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom]. So after knowing his existence, some of the hidden doubts were solved. Just thinking about this, Xia En realized something. It turns out that at that time, [Xinwang] had contact with the [Truth Society]? Moreover, according to An Bing, he seems to have reached some kind of cooperation with the [Omniscient Sage]? Could this be related to the suspicious underground research institute and the mysterious man who sneaked into the palace a few days ago? Xia En couldn''t help but fell into thinking. After finally solving a mystery, I found that more questions had arisen. The truth seems to remain buried in the mists of history. However, Shane was not frustrated. He believed that as long as he solved the mystery step by step, one day he would be able to completely crack these "secrets". "Captain Shane?" Looking at Xia En who was deep in thought, An Bing couldn''t help but interrupt. "What should we do now? Do you have any good ideas?" Hearing this, Xia En immediately came back to his senses. After thinking briefly, he said. "I do have a method, but it may involve some risks." "I just wonder if Miss Anbing is willing to give it a try?" An Bing: "What method? Please tell me." Xia En didn''t hold back and said directly: "Let''s go directly to [Salary King]." "What?" An Bing couldn''t help being surprised: "What does this mean?" Shane expressed his views straightforwardly. "The simplest method may be the most effective." "Let''s go directly to [King Xin], explain our purpose, and tell him the truth about this space." "If it''s him, he will definitely understand what we mean." "And with the help of [King Xin], it will not be difficult to find the key nodes in the palace." An Bing''s beautiful eyes widened with disbelief on her face. "...Are you crazy?" "The current [King Xin] doesn''t know us at all, so why should he believe what we say?" "If he orders us to be arrested, we may never be able to escape from this historical [Fan Yan City] again." Xia En looked at An Bing seriously and said seriously. "The key now is not whether he will believe us." "But it''s..." "Do you believe [King Xin]?" "Do you believe the man you once loved deeply?" Shane continued: "I believe he will accept my explanation and help us find the node." "So, what about you?" Hearing this question, An Bing fell into a long silence. "You are right. If it were him, it would indeed be possible for him to do such a thing." While saying this, An Bing''s expression gradually changed from blank to determined, no longer wavering or hesitating. After a moment, she said directly: "Let''s go and find [Salary King]!" (End of chapter) Chapter 366 [The Salary King in History] [A Dream De Chapter 366 [The Salary King in History] [A Dream Destined to Wake Up] The process of meeting King Xin was much simpler than the two expected. After making a request to Irina at the door. Irina immediately said: "Okay, I know." "Please wait a moment, the king will arrive soon." Hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment. "He came to see us?" After all, King Xin is also the king of [Great Yan Kingdom]. According to common sense, it would be more appropriate for them to meet each other, right? However, Irina waved her hand indifferently. "Don''t worry, Wang is not a difficult person to get along with." "It''s such a small thing, it doesn''t matter at all." Xia En was stunned for a while. But since Irina said so, they could only wait patiently for the arrival of King Xin. And soon, Xia En and An Bing showed some astonishment. Because, in their perception, the [Fire] that had calmed down before actually reacted again. The temperature on it continues to increase, and the ironing feeling becomes more and more obvious. "this" Just when Xia En realized something keenly. A familiar yet unfamiliar figure, surrounded by a group of people, was already walking towards the side hall. The man was wearing a black and red smart outfit. The base is black, with a little dark red [Fire Pattern] pattern, which serves as a decorative embellishment on the cuffs and collar of this piece of clothing. It makes him stand tall and straight, and he is full of heroic spirit. The whole person is like a long sword unsheathed, showing a somewhat sharp temperament. Just by walking towards the man, he gave people a feeling of hotness and warmth. Like a rising sun, it is full of vitality and sunshine, but it does not make people feel too dazzling. The man''s tall figure and handsome appearance add to his beauty. When anyone sees this person for the first time, they will think that he is a rare and beautiful man, and they will be attracted to him involuntarily. Nearby, other patrolling guards and [Black Flame Walkers] looked at him with admiration and admiration. In this way, the man''s identity will be revealed. He is exactly the salary king created by [Great Yan] in this memory scene! And looking at that face, which had hardly changed much from the future, but looked slightly younger and more immature. Xia En''s mood was somewhat complicated. It has indeed been some time since he and Yan Yan parted ways. In particular, Yan Yan left the [Black Swan] when he broke through the seclusion, so that Xia En was not able to see him off in person. At this time, I saw this King Xin in my memory, even though I knew it was not the real him. Some chaotic thoughts inevitably appeared in Xia En''s mind. As for the side, An Bing''s reaction was even more violent. The moment she saw King Xin, her delicate body couldn''t help but tremble slightly, and extremely complex emotions flashed in her beautiful eyes. Memories that I thought I had forgotten came flooding back to me again. That year, it was not until the wedding that An Bing saw such a handsome King Xin for the first time, and was attracted by his appearance and temperament almost instantly. At that time, An Bing thought to himself, if he was such a man, he would probably be qualified to be her husband, right? Times have changed. When An Bing saw that handsome face again, everything seemed different. Fortunately, An Bing''s rationality defeated his sensibility after all. She also immediately reminded herself that the salary king in front of her was not the real him, and then quickly calmed down. At this time, as King Xin came. The [Fire] in An Bing and Xia En''s arms became even hotter, as if they were about to burst out of the box. Xia En''s mood suddenly felt strange. Obviously, [Fire] changed precisely because of King Xins approach. So, is this phenomenon caused by the unique connection between King Xin and [Fire]? Or should I say... Is King Xin himself the key node in this memory scene? ! If it is the former, it means that both Xia En and the two of them have taken the wrong direction before. But if it''s the latter, the situation will undoubtedly become more difficult and unpredictable. And at this time, Xia En suddenly realized something. So, [Tinder]''s previous reaction was also because of King Xin''s approach? That is to say. When An Bing entered the palace, King Xin was actually hiding in secret to observe them? Shane''s expression was a little strange. But thinking about it, King Xin would inevitably be a little curious about his future fiance. Now, he is not the scheming character he had in the later period of [Great Yan Kingdom], but more like an energetic young man. Isn''t it human nature to take a peek at your fiance to see what she looks like? Don''t know why, after figuring this out. Xia En''s previous uneasiness and apprehension because he was about to face King Xin disappeared inexplicably. If you think about it carefully, it''s probably because - Due to the various legends and deeds on the Seven Seas, coupled with the existence of the [Ember Treasure], the impression of King Xin in his mind has become somewhat deified. But now, he secretly observes his fiance''s behavior, which reflects his human side. Makes you feel Oh, it turns out that King Xin is just a person, not a superior god. Perhaps, the current Xinwang is closer to the sunny and cheerful young Yan Yan that Xia En knew. After thinking about this. Xia En also gained more confidence in the subsequent conversation. at the same time. King Xin waved to the men around him and walked into the side hall alone. His eyes first stayed on Xia En for a moment, and then looked at his fiance An Bing. "I heard you wanted to see me, so I came." I don''t know if it''s Xia En''s misunderstanding, but he feels that the current salary king always feels like he''s being reserved. It seemed a little cramped and a little nervous. Then I thought about it, Wang Xin had never been in love, and he rarely had contact with women of the same age. Maybe I dont know how to deal with women. Not to mention, the person in front of him is his future wife, who will get married tomorrow. In other words, the current salary king may be... shy? "Wang Xin, are you also shy?" Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little funny for no reason, and there was a little teasing in his eyes. "It turns out you have this side, too." Noticing Xia En''s eyes, King Xin was a little confused. Who is this guy? Why are you looking at yourself like this? But by this time, An Bing had calmed down from his turbulent emotions. She said it directly without any hesitation. "King, I have something very important to tell you. Please come with me." With that said, An Bing turned around and walked towards the inside of the side hall. Seeing her serious expression, King Xin was a little curious and confused, but he still quickly followed her without any hesitation. "king?" Seeing this, several [Black Flame Walkers] not far away looked worried. King Xin waved his hands to them: "Don''t worry." "This is the trust I owe to the princess." What surprised King Xin was that Xia En actually walked into the side hall with him. It was just out of politeness that King Xin didn''t say anything directly, but his eyes were inevitably a little strange. When no one was around, King Xin finally couldn''t help but ask. "Miss Anbing, what exactly do you want to say to me?" "And this gentleman, who are you?" By this time, An Bing was too lazy to continue pretending and said. "Captain Shane, since this is the plan you proposed, it''s up to you to execute it." "It''s time to tell him everything." "Captain...plan..." King Xin was obviously confused by these words, but he also maintained basic patience and did not walk away directly. Instead, he looked at Xia En with inquiring eyes. So, Xia En said: "This is what happened." "Actually, we are not from this era at all..." soon. Xia En told King Xin about the arrival of the great flood, the destruction of the [Great Yan] Kingdom, the birth of the undead [Great Yan] and its characteristics, and even his relationship with King Xin. Although during the listening process, King Xin showed surprise several times, and he once wanted to interrupt Xia En''s words. But he still endured it and listened to the end in one breath. "You mean..." "The real [Great Yan Kingdom] is dead, and the world now is just a world created by the memory of the undead [Great Yan]." "This Lady Dark Ice is not my fiance from this era, but Princess [Great Yan] who has been sleeping for thousands of years." "Now, people in the world are working hard to prevent the disaster of the second world-destroying flood, and you are here just to eliminate the [Great Flame]." King Xin couldn''t help but ask: "You discovered that the key node of [Great Flame] is located in the palace, so you thought of sneaking in here, but because the guard was too tight, you could only ask me for help?" After saying such a long string of words in one breath, King Xin''s expression became extremely strange. "Yes yes yes." Shane nodded in response. "This is really... incredible." King Xin had a wry smile on his face. "Even I can''t accept it so quickly." Xia En had expected this and said frankly. "In fact, if it were anyone else, we would never have adopted such a bold and ridiculous plan." "But it''s precisely because of you that we have the confidence to do this." King Xin laughed dumbly: "It seems that you really understand and trust me." "The me in the future, oh no, the me in the real world, will actually become a crew member on a ship, not even the captain." "This kind of thing is really wonderful." King Xin touched his chin and said apologetically. "Actually, I took a sneak peek at you before, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw you, a strange man, next to my fiance." "I didn''t expect...the truth of the matter would be like this." Upon hearing this, Xia En''s eyes suddenly opened wide. "Do you believe what I said?" King Xin nodded: "Although it is hard to believe and I don''t want to believe it, your statement is logically self-consistent." "On the other hand, you all have an aura about you that makes me feel familiar and friendly." "Especially you, Captain Shane. For a moment just now, I even thought you were my... kindred spirit." "similar" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved. Thinking about it, this is probably related to the fact that he absorbed the [Old Daily Fire] given by King Xin, which made him tainted with a similar aura. "Heh, what about me?" At this time, An Bing''s faint voice sounded from the side. Xia En''s body trembled inexplicably. A strange thought came to his mind. "Your Highness, the princess, is she jealous?" "What? Are you jealous of men too?" Thinking about it, King Xin seemed a little awkward because of his presence just now. All I can say is, are they really worthy of being a couple? However, at this time, King Xin obviously did not notice the abnormality in An Bing''s tone and continued. "Actually, there is another important reason why I believe what you say." "Occasionally, I have some weird dreams." "For example... a huge flood that comes from nowhere, for example, a town that is frozen into a glacier." "Another example...a crew member wearing a weird navy uniform came to me, but when I looked closely, I saw that it was just a ghost that had long since died." "I even dreamed of a fire that burned down the entire [Great Flame]." "The fire that fills the sky seems to burn everything..." Having said this, King Xin''s expression has become extremely serious and serious. "Those dreams were extremely real, as if they had really happened." "For a while, I even had a bold guess" "I feel like the whole world is in a never-ending cycle." Every once in a while, theres a reset. "And now, after listening to what you said, I can confirm that my guess is correct!" "As for those disaster scenes, they are probably the most profound and unforgettable memories for the people of Dayan, right?" Upon hearing this, both Xia En fell into silence. At this time, even Xia En couldn''t help but feel strong admiration in his heart. As a character created in this memory scene, King Xin was still keenly aware of the abnormalities that were ignored by others. Just like everyone is drunk, I am alone awake. Even more admirable. He is clearly in this prosperous city with flowers, but he is willing to believe that... the future is a miserable future in which [Great Yan Kingdom] is destroyed and even becomes an undead spirit. This is actually very valuable. Some people would rather indulge in wonderful illusions than face the painful reality. -You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. This is a normal escape mentality for many people. But King Xin was willing to believe what Xia En said, break away from this beautiful memory, and face the tragic facts. Perhaps, this is where Xin Wangs personality charm lies? Even though they only got along for a while, Xia En had some understanding. Why, King Xin can become the greatest king after Augustine! What King Xin said next shocked the two of them again. "If I''m not wrong..." "The reason why I can dream about those scenes is because I... am the undead [Great Flame] node you are looking for." "Then please eliminate me now." (End of chapter) Chapter 367 [Point to destroy] [Battle with the lege Chapter 367 [Point Destruction] [Battle with Legend! King Xin''s words caused both Xia En and Xia En to fall into silence. Although Xia En had vaguely guessed that King Xin was the node they were looking for. But he didn''t expect that King Xin not only noticed this, but also took the initiative to speak out about it. Isn''t this equivalent to asking Xia En and the others to "kill" him? Seeing the expressions of the two of them, King Xin smiled slightly. "It seems that your relationship with me in the real world is really deep..." "You should also know that the me here is just a shadow created by [Great Yan]." "Even this whole world is just a dream that keeps repeating itself." "In this case, now is the time to wake up from the dream." There was a touch of tenderness and relief in King Xin''s eyes. "However, for you, this is just the beginning." "So please do it as soon as possible." Now that King Xin has said so, Xia En has no reason to continue to be indecisive. So, he took out [Fire] from his arms. Just when he was about to activate it, An Bing beside him suddenly spoke. "Let me do this kind of thing." When he said this, An Bing''s eyes became determined again, no longer confused and hesitant. She took [Fire] and walked up to King Xin. At this moment, King Xin blinked and said. "Actually, I have one last question." "Ms. An Bing, I always feel that the way you look at me seems complicated. May I ask...why is this?" "Is it because our relationship was not good after we got married?" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little nervous. These questions are undoubtedly a minefield for An Bing and may trigger her emotions at any time. However, An Bing''s reaction surprised Xia Endun. She just looked at the young King Xin calmly and asked. "What do you think?" "What do you think...our relationship will be like after we get married?" King Xin thought for a moment and said. "I think our relationship shouldn''t be bad?" "Although it is a marriage, I have already made up my mind -" "No matter who becomes my wife, I will treat her well and make her happy." "but" King Xin looked at An Bing''s expression and sighed regretfully. "My future self seems to be unable to do it..." "No, actually you did." An Bing shook his head and said calmly: "I did fall in love with you, but I hate you to the core because of it." "is that so?" An apology appeared on King Xin''s face: "Anyway, I may have done something wrong. Please let me apologize to you for my future self." An Bing looked at King Xin''s face carefully, as if he wanted to imprint this young face in his mind. Then, she activated the [Fire] in her hand and whispered to herself at the same time. "But even if you give me another chance, I will still marry you..." The next moment. [Fire] shines brightly. The small flame before suddenly turned into a ball of fire. It burned blazingly and resonated with the King Xin in front of him. Buzz In the resonance of the secret power, King Xin''s body changed rapidly. In an instant, he transformed into a fiery, bright human form. Immediately, the flames merged into the [Fire] in An Bing''s hand like flowing water, making it grow stronger. During this process, the entire aura of [Fire] faintly experienced some kind of sublimation. It was as if it had come alive and had a life of its own. "This is?" For this change, both Xia En and An Bing were unexpected. It is not so much that [Fire] destroyed the key node of "Xinwang". It would be better to say that [Fire] absorbed and assimilated him! However, they did not wait for the two to think deeply about the reasons behind this. The world around them suddenly changed! Click...click... There seemed to be countless shattering sounds in the air. Xia En clearly felt that the surrounding space began to become unstable. Like a broken porcelain bottle. at the same time. All the things around him, such as the tall and magnificent palaces, the complicated dark red fire patterns, and the dark green palace walls, began to fade. There were even some distorted lights and shadows appearing in the corners of Xia En''s sight. Upon seeing this, Xia En immediately came to his senses - This world is about to collapse! This Fanyan City was originally a fictional existence created by [Great Yan]. At this time, King Xin, who was a node, was absorbed by [Fire], and the entire memory lost its core anchor point, thus losing its meaning of existence, and naturally could no longer be maintained. And look at the things that are fading in those corners. Warning signs kept coming from Shane''s gut. He had a hunch that if he was caught in those distorted lights and shadows, something bad would definitely happen. Xia En said to An Bing beside him without hesitation. "Let''s go!" "I know a relatively safe place where I can avoid the aftermath of the memory space collapse." After saying that, he used full speed and rushed out of the side hall first. An Bing knew that the situation was urgent and did not ask any questions. He just followed Xia En decisively. I rushed out of the side hall to take a look. This space collapsed faster than Shane expected. Cracks appeared one after another in the sky high up, and the earth began to shake violently, and the ground continued to crack. Houses not far away are collapsing in pieces. Such a scene is like a scene of annihilation when the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart. This naturally caused large-scale chaos among the people in Fanyan City. "Oh my God! What happened?" "Why is the sky cracked? Is the end of the world coming?" "What the **** is going on?" Exclaims, screams, and questions came one after another. Even the well-trained soldiers and [Black Flame Walkers] inside the palace could not help but show expressions of shock and fear. However, this kind of chaos also attracted most of the attention for Xia En and the two of them. So much so that only Irina and a few [Black Flame Walkers] discovered their whereabouts. "Hey, Miss Anbing, where are you going?" And soon, Irina reacted. "By the way, Wang...where is King Xin?" With such a big change happening, King Xin should have stepped forward immediately to stabilize the situation. Why is it missing now? However, no one can answer Irinas question. In the midst of the chaos, Xia En and the two men rushed out of the palace the way they came. The reason why they don''t fly is because they are too conspicuous in the air and can easily become the target of public criticism and cause unnecessary trouble. Even so, the two encountered unexpected obstacles. Not far away. The body of a [Black Flame Walker] was affected by some kind of power, and the entire body continued to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming pale and dim. He murmured. "So... I was already dead?" "Fake, all this is fake..." in his murmur. The man''s body suddenly burned with black flames, and his face became hideous and hateful. Black blood and tears dripped from his eyes, as if he had turned into a pitch-black charred corpse, completely losing the breath of the living. Immediately, he turned his stiff head. He looked at Xia En and the two men not far away with his empty eyes, and murmured hoarsely and with malice in his mouth. "Destroy...clear out...the outsiders." "Everything...for [Great Yan]..." Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. He quickly thought of the reason for this change. Rather than saying that this [Black Flame Walker] became undead, it would be better to say that he just returned to his proper appearance. The real citizens of [Great Yan] have already died in the disasters of the past. The people wandering in this city are just souls who do not want to sleep forever. At this moment, as the memory space collapsed and they lost the modification in their memory and their understanding of themselves, they naturally returned to the form of the undead. And because of [Great Flame]''s hostility towards outsiders, these undead would naturally attack Xia En and the other two. Want to eliminate them completely. Thinking of this, Xia En pulled out a long sword from the shadow without thinking. And he suddenly increased his speed and rushed forward. A snort! I saw the dark sword light flashing in the air. The undead spirit blocking Xia En and the two men was split into two. However, even if it is cut off in the middle. The undead body that fell to the ground was still squirming. The body gradually shrinks towards the center, and seems to have a tendency to rejoin. Shane wasn''t surprised. To be precise, these undead are just part of [Great Flame]. As long as [Great Flame] is not destroyed, these undead will not really die. Fortunately, Xia En''s purpose was not to kill the enemy. After incapacitating the undead, they quickly passed through the area and rushed outside the palace. But then, more and more residents in the city began to realize the truth that they had died long ago. One by one, they turned into hateful-looking undead and surrounded Xia En and the two. Moreover, according to this trend, the people of the entire city will be transformed into such undead. Just imagining that scene made Xia En''s scalp numb. After leaving the palace, what Xia En saw was shocking. At this time, Fanyan City has completely lost its previous bustling scene and has become a mess. Ordinary people who have not yet woken up and are running around. The undead that screams in pain, is terrifying and weird. And crumbling houses, faded skies. Everything seemed extremely chaotic and miserable. Its hard to imagine that not long ago, this place was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. Not long after. A group of undead locked the position of Xia En and the two of them and surrounded them from all directions. Facing the tide of undead. Dark Ice no longer held back, and a burst of cold air poured out, freezing large swaths of undead into ice sculptures. Her freezing ability is more effective than Shane''s when facing such an unkillable enemy. "here you go." Xia En split the undead in front of him with a sword, and his body rushed forward like a cannonball. Relying on his extremely strong physical fitness, he is like a rampaging chariot in the city, and almost nothing can stop the power of his collision. In the blink of an eye, a large open space was cleared. At this time, after estimating the distance to the door, Xia En''s eyes flashed with joy. "Come on, we should be there after crossing two streets." However, just when Xia En was about to rush to the destination in one go. In their perception, an extremely powerful aura was rapidly approaching them. "No! This is..." An Bing''s expression also changed. In an instant. A black shadow fell from a height at an incredible speed and landed on the block in front of the two of them. boom! ! Along with the smoke and dust rising from the ground, the earth was constantly shaking. Almost the entire neighborhood was reduced to rubble by the force of the smash. Then, a tall and majestic figure gradually emerged from the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed. Surprisingly. This man is not quite the same as those undead souls who have completely turned into charred corpses. He was wearing a worn and bloodstained armor, and he was holding a two-meter-long spear in his hand, as if he had just stepped off the battlefield. Only half of the man''s face was transformed into an undead, while the other half still maintained its original appearance. It looks extremely weird. And the moment I saw this man. Xia En only felt a murderous aura coming towards his face, as if it was going to freeze his soul! That kind of murderous intent can only be cultivated on a battlefield like a meat grinder. Under that big gun, I don''t know how many enemy souls were taken away. "General Hanno..." After seeing this person, An Bing''s expression also changed. She introduced Xia En as briefly as possible. "This general is the commander of the [Great Yan Imperial Guard] and the general who has fought the most battles in the [Great Yan Kingdom]." "It is said that before he came to [the Far North], he was a general of a kingdom." "It seems that because he killed too much, he was disliked by the king, so he was exiled to the [Far North]." "But here, King Xin accepted him, and after several battles, his realm was upgraded to a seventh-level legend!" No need for dark ice reminders. Xia En also knew the other party''s legendary identity. Because at this time, just facing General Hannuo, Xia En felt a suffocating sense of oppression. Ordinary secret seekers would probably not be able to resist in front of him. Hannuo''s eyes swept across Xia En and the two coldly. Although he still maintained half of his human form, there was no rationality in his eyes, only overwhelming hostility and murderous intent. "Those who invade the Great Flame will die!" After saying that, Hanno didn''t have any intention of negotiating and rushed towards Xia En with a big gun. The sense of crisis in his gut reached its extreme at this moment. It was the first time for even Xia En to face the murderous intention of a legendary powerhouse like this. That murderous intent seemed to invade Xia En''s mind, causing him to lose his mind and lose his ability to resist. But the more desperate the situation, the calmer Xia En''s thoughts became. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. What about legends? After being promoted to [Secret Keeper] and going through several promotions, he may not be incapable of fighting against the legend. [Big Dark Sky] is activated immediately. The secret power and strength in the body are all pushed to the extreme at this moment. All the complicated moves were reduced to simplicity, turning into the most unpretentious blow. Xia En didn''t dodge, and directly faced Han Nuo''s spear! (End of chapter) Chapter 368 【Behead the legend! 】 Chapter 368 [Kill the legend! clang- This is a collision without any fancy, moisture or skill. The sound waves formed by the vibrations echoed far away and did not subside for a long time. The terrifying air wave expanded with the two of them as the center. The nearby neighborhoods that were already in danger collapsed directly under the aftermath. There were even some slight cracks in the surrounding space. This memory space is already on the verge of collapse, so it is naturally unable to withstand this legendary level of power collision. Hanno''s body paused slightly. The remaining half of the face showed a little surprise, but then the surprise was replaced by a fanatical fighting spirit. He shouted loudly. "kill!!" Then, the half-human, half-undead body swept in like a storm again. Xia En''s eyes were also full of fighting spirit. After the previous confrontation, he also initially judged - Although the General Hannuo in front of him was in the legendary realm, there was a big gap between him and him during his lifetime. No matter what, he is just an undead soul who should have died long ago. [Da Yan] With the help of memory reappearance, there will definitely be some kind of deviation. Because of this, Xia En could temporarily be evenly matched with him, so that this battle would not become a one-sided crushing. This battle still needs to be fought! However, even so, Hannuo is a truly legendary strongman, and his strength and sense of oppression can only be described as terrifying. The collision just now caused the blood and energy in Xia En''s body to surge, leaving some hidden injuries in his muscles and bones. What makes Xia En feel a little more difficult is that. There is still a strange gray-black secret power lingering around the undead Hannuo. This secret power is somewhat similar to Xia En''s Great Dark Sky, like armor formed by a highly concentrated field. However, compared with the Great Dark Sky, the nature of this power gives people a feeling of death and withering. And it seems to have gone beyond the scope of the field and reached a higher level. Enlightenment arose in Xia En''s heart. "Could it be...that this is the [Power of Law] of the legendary strongman?" From Xia En''s understanding of the legendary realm, he broke through to the seventh level. Those who follow the secret path will be able to master one. Unique laws. For example, fire, ice, space, time...even everything in the world. It''s obvious. Different laws also have strengths and weaknesses. It can be said that the law chosen when breaking through the legend determines the upper and lower limits of the strength of the legendary mystic. Of course, even ordinary things will become extremely mysterious after being sublimated into laws. Like the effect of the Law of Fire, it may burn any existence unconditionally. It is more like the incarnation of a rule than an ordinary flame. This is also where the name Law comes from. It is also the reason why the strength of the legendary strongman is far higher than the sixth level. Rather than saying that you obtained the [Power of Law] after being promoted to Legend, it is better to say that it is precisely because you have the [Power of Law] that you can be called a legend! And right now, Undead Hanno''s [Power of Law] seems to be related to death! Just then. Lines of information flashed across Xia En''s eyes. Dead Silence Field [Description: The field of fame of General Hanno is the embodiment of the "Law of Death" he mastered, and through the distortion of the undead [Great Flame], it has become closer to death. [When in the field, Hanno''s attacks will have a certain probability of instant death and will continue to weaken the target''s fighting spirit and vitality. [For those who are fearful and have weak willpower, the probability of death is doubled. [However, the transformation of [Great Flame] not only enhanced his understanding of death, but also caused a contradiction between the laws. Maybe it will become its flaw? Immediate death? Seeing these descriptions, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. Immediate death means immediate death. In the game, it usually refers to an attack method that directly kills the enemy regardless of any status such as defense and blood volume. And when this ability appeared in reality, even Xia En was a little creepy. No matter how small the probability of instant death is, as long as the effect is triggered, you will die directly without defense. It''s like the announcement of death! Compare with that. The other negative effects of [Dead Silence Field] seem insignificant. There is still such a bug? Xia En looked solemn. But considering that it is the [Power of Law] of a legendary strongman, it seems normal. And after learning this information. Xia En also quickly understood that this battle must be fought quickly. Not to mention the other undead that are approaching around him. If you are unlucky and hit an instant death attack, everything will be over. "Wait, this information is..." Suddenly, Xia En reacted belatedly. Before this, he did not have the ability to see through the functions of other people''s fields. Obviously, this is the contribution of the [Peeping Eye of Secrets]. After being promoted to [Secret Keeper], the effect of [Secret Peeping Eye] has also been upgraded. Only then can we see through the essence of Hanno''s domain. And this also opened up a new way of thinking for Xia En. The current [Secret Peeping Eye] is no longer just a means to explore the [Secret Realm] and improve strength. It can even be used directly in battle to peek into the enemy''s secrets and see through their weaknesses and flaws. Perhaps, this is the real use of [Peeping Eye of Secrets]! Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes flashed with a faint light, and he stared at the undead Hanno in front of him with all his attention. In his field of vision, the path and direction of the flow of secret power gradually emerged. These secret powers also clearly displayed Hannuo''s next action trajectory in front of Xia En. "I have completely seen through your actions!" All this sounds like a long time, but actually it happens in just one second. The next moment. Terrible winds swept in, accompanied by the smell of blood. Hannuo carried the big gun that had accompanied him in battles for many years and headed towards Xia En''s door. As fast as a shooting star! But this time, Xia En no longer faced the attack head-on, but turned slightly to the side, seemingly narrowly avoiding the sharp edge of the big gun. Immediately, a palm hit the spear. On the barrel of the gun. "Bang" sound. Hanno''s body trembled and he stepped back a short distance, but still held the spear firmly in his hand. "Um?" When he raised his head again, Hanno''s eyes flashed with confusion. The fighting instinct remaining in his body told him that something seemed wrong. However, the real Hanno is dead after all. As an undead, he lacks the rationality and combat wisdom he had during his lifetime. After only a brief hesitation, Hanno rushed forward with his gun again. Immediately afterwards, there was a fierce attack like a gust of wind and rain. Bang! Bang! Bang! Hannuo deserves to be a legendary strongman. Every move can cause great destructive power. Under the sweep of the spear, the block beneath his feet was razed to the ground in an instant. With a casual poke, a large crater can be carved into the ground, just like the impact of a meteorite. As for the undead who were unfortunate enough to be affected by the battle, they were even more shattered. Just the fight between him and Xia En seemed to destroy half of the city. However. Looking at the two people on the battlefield, An Bing, who was secretly observing, couldn''t help but look shocked, and was shocked in his heart. Because, facing such a terrifying offensive. Shane was like a gorgeous dancer, dancing on the wire and the tip of the knife, dodging Hanno''s attacks again and again. Although every dodge looked extremely dangerous, Hanno just couldn''t hit his vital point. It''s always just a little bit off. Instead, in the process, some wounds gradually appeared on Hanno''s body. Cracks appeared again on the already broken armor. It''s a pity that Hanno, as the undead created by [Great Flame], is almost impossible to kill. Those wounds also healed quickly during the battle. Despite this, An Bing was still shocked beyond measure. You know, this is a battle with a sixth-level body against a legend! For a normal sixth-level Mystic Pathfinder, if he was not killed instantly when facing Hannuo, he was already considered to be quite powerful. The situation in which Xia En was fighting against each other could only be described as unbelievable. Looking at the entire Seven Seas world, I''m afraid no one can do it. However, An Bing''s mood did not relax much. Because even if Xia En is already considered a genius and can fight against legends at the sixth level, he is still far away from truly killing the undead Hannuo. And all around, the collapse of the entire space is intensifying. There are also several auras that are not weaker than Hanno''s that are approaching. No matter how you look at it, this is a desperate situation within a desperate situation. "We can''t delay it any longer!" At this time, Xia En also had similar thoughts in his mind. "What''s the key to winning with one blow?" Xia En noticed a sentence in [The Eye of Peeping Secrets] - The shaping of [Great Flame] brings about the contradiction of [Law of Death]... Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. Yes, [Great Yan], as an undead, already has an understanding of the [Law of Death]. However, its understanding of the [Law of Death] is definitely different from General Hanno''s. It''s like, different people have different views on the same thing. There are also contradictions in the two''s understanding of the "Law of Death". But Hanno is an existence shaped by the [Great Flame], and the [Power of Law] he masters is bound to be affected by the [Great Flame]. As long as you can find the contradictory node. Maybe...it can fundamentally destroy Hanno''s existence! Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes glowed. The effect of [Eye of Peeping Secrets] is pushed to the extreme. Countless points and line segments appeared in his eyes, constantly twisting and changing, appearing complex and grotesque. It''s like a bizarre dream. Among them, some are Hannos own secret powers; Some of them belong to the aura of [Great Flame]; There are also cracks caused by the collapse of this memory space... It seems impossible to find the key point in this scene. And this time. Xia En suddenly remembered the [Great Law] he witnessed when he was promoted to the sixth level. At that time, he also vaguely saw the deepest secrets in the trajectories of countless stars and [Secret Realm]. This situation is inexplicably similar to that of that time. Thinking of this, Xia En dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind, ignored the lines and light spots floating on the surface, and looked towards the deepest and most original place of Hanno. Gradually. Shane''s entire field of vision became clear and empty. Those complicated and trivial lines have all disappeared. Only a few lines are still eye-catching. The remaining lines all carry extremely strong colors and atmosphere, as if they are engraved in this space and will not change due to changes in external objects. Xia En had an inexplicable intuition in his heart. Those special lines are most likely the so-called [Power of Law]. If you call it in a more fantasy way. Maybe call them [Daohen! That is, the traces of the road. And the reason why they appear so clear and stable is most likely because... They are the basic laws that make up this world! Naturally, it will not be easily shaken. Shane even had a feeling. These [powers of law] may be directly imprinted on the [great law]. Every [secret realm] in the entire secret sea must follow this basic rule. Feelings of wonder and awe flashed through Xia En''s heart. He knew that what was more important now was to find a way to defeat Hanno! After some searching. Xia En soon saw that among those lines, there were two gray and black lines that were similar but different. Unlike other lines, the colors of the two are very similar, but they also have a completely different atmosphere. They seem to be opposite each other, but they are intertwined with each other. The moment he saw them, Xia En was sure This is the [Law of Death] he is looking for! And where the two line segments intersect, there is an intersection point. Emitting a dim light in the dark. That intersection is at the point of contradiction between the two, so it is much weaker than the real [Law]. Without thinking, Xia En''s eyes burst out with light, and his body was like a black stream of light, approaching Hanno. Seeing this, Undead Hannuo''s eyes flashed with disdain. He knew very well that here, his body was almost immortal, and even if he stood and let Xia En kill him, he might not be able to kill him. Therefore, he chose the simplest and crudest tactic - Trade injury for life! Hannuo ignored Xia En''s punch and opened the door wide. At the same time, he raised his spear and stabbed him in the chest. Naturally, Xia En would not miss such an opportunity. The power that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded at this moment, slamming into the intersection he saw in his field of vision. It wasn''t until this moment that Hanno noticed a fatal sense of crisis. But by this time, it was already too late. Just when Xia En''s fist hit the "intersection point", the spear in his hand had already stabbed Xia En''s body. boom! After a loud noise, everything around them became still, and the bodies of Hanno and Xia En still stood in place. However, many small cracks appeared on his body surface, as if he was about to collapse. In this final moment, Hanno regained a little bit of his former humanity. The half of the person asked with a little surprise on his face. "What do you see with your eyes?" Xia En thought for a while and said: "The essence of [Law]." Hearing this, Hannuo''s eyes showed a hint of surprise and appreciation. "The young people of this era are indeed extraordinary." "However, I want to remind you." "The truth you are looking for may only bring you despair..." (End of chapter) Chapter 369 [Law of Death]; Communication with Colon Chapter 369 [Law of Death]; Communication with Colonel Gold "Take it, this is my last gift." As he spoke, Hannuo raised his finger slightly and tapped Xia En''s eyebrows lightly. There was a vague cold force entering Xia En''s body and lurking there. A prompt flashed before Xia En''s eyes. [You have received the gift of the remnant soul of Hanno. [You have a preliminary understanding of the law of death. Um? [Law of Death]? Seeing the prompt, a flash of shock flashed in Xia En''s eyes. But before he could say anything, Hannuo''s body in front of him quickly shattered like porcelain. Turned into pale ashes. Seeing this, An Bing not far away opened his beautiful eyes again. Captain Shane...won? Xia En actually defeated the legendary undead Hanno in a head-on battle and completely killed him! ? On the Seven Seas, there has never been a case where a non-legendary mystic defeated a legend. Not even once. But now, Xia En has accomplished this unprecedented feat. How could this not surprise An Bing? However, An Bing is also very aware of the urgency of the current situation. She immediately came to Xia An: "Captain Xia En, are you okay?" "Ahem...I''m fine." Xia En coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked a little sluggish, but he was not in fear of his life. At the critical moment just now. He and Hannuo unanimously chose to trade injuries for lives. Hanno relied on the immortality of the undead. But Xia En is wearing this modified [Black Flame Robe]. As Moritz said, this robe does have the defensive power to withstand an attack from a legendary strongman. This allowed him to block one of Hanno''s attacks. However, the robe was also damaged, and the secret power on it was greatly weakened. Moreover, Xia En, who suffered a heavy blow, was not unscathed. The secret power in his body was rampant, causing serious hidden injuries. But with Xia En''s self-healing power, this is not a big problem. Although he was quite curious about the words that flashed in the [Eye of Peeping Secrets], Xia En also knew that now was not the time to delve into this. After taking a breather. The two of them immediately ran towards the cabin door. Thanks to Hannuo''s wide-ranging attacks, most of the nearby undead were wiped out. This allowed the two of them to arrive not far from the hatch door without any hindrance. But that''s about it. The surrounding air seemed to be suddenly frozen, becoming thick and heavy. Immediately afterwards. Several auras, not much weaker than Hannuo, suddenly descended near Xia En and the two of them. "Damn it!" Suddenly, Xia En''s face became extremely ugly. He raised his head, and the figures of those legendary undead figures had already appeared in his sight. The aura of each figure is extremely terrifying. The position of the two of them was locked like the weight of a mountain. It was like real pressure, making it difficult for their bodies to move forward even half a step. At this time, the distance between Xia En and the door was less than ten meters. But this ten meters was like a natural chasm, blocking them in front of them. It''s despairing. "how so?" An Bing''s mood couldn''t help but hit rock bottom. They clearly successfully infiltrated the Great Yan Palace, destroyed the node "King Xin", and even defeated Hannuo, an undead in the legendary realm. I went to get stopped here. It''s only one step away from leaving safely. This situation really made her feel unwilling. At this time, the legendary undead had no intention of communicating with them, and directly launched a fatal offensive towards the two of them. They may come directly like ghosts. Or he slapped the two of them from afar, and terrifying air waves rolled in. What made Xia En''s hair stand on end was the black light emanating from the eyes of one of the undead. That black light carried the dangerous aura of annihilation. Not to mention the injured Xia En, even in his prime, he might not be able to safely receive this black light. And the target of that black light was surprisingly An Bing beside Xia En! Even when Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little despair in his heart. suddenly. The [Fire] in An Bing''s hand once again bloomed brightly and dazzlingly. The blazing flames rose up, expanding and changing. In the blink of an eye, a flame giant formed, standing in front of Xia En and the other two. The face of that giant turned out to be the Xinwang who had been absorbed by [Fire] earlier! "salary?" An Bing called out his name in surprise. But the flame giant looked at her with shame and nostalgia, with inexplicable tenderness. This kind of look does not seem to be the emotion that the salary king in history would show. An Bing also seemed to suddenly notice something. His eyes widened and he looked at the flame giant with an extremely complicated expression on his face. "Let me protect you one more time." After saying this, the flame giant turned around and faced the extinct black light. As soon as he raised his hand, the raging flames swallowed up the menacing black light without causing any waves in the body. When looking at the undead in the legendary realm, the tenderness on the face of the Giant King disappeared in an instant. Instead, there is the majesty and intimidating demeanor of a king. He shouted in a questioning tone. "Since you see me coming, why don''t you worship me?" In an instant. Those tyrannical legendary undead could not help but show a mixture of fear and fear. That is the awe and worship engraved deep in their souls. Even if he has died long ago, this awe will not disappear with him. The next moment. The undead fell to their knees one after another, pressing their foreheads to the ground and letting out inarticulate sobs. This is an expression of one''s own repentance and surrender. Not just the undead nearby, but also the ordinary undead like waves further away. They all knelt down in darkness. It can be said that the entire Fanyan City knelt down in front of King Xin like this. This scene was so spectacular that it deeply shocked Xia En''s heart. It turns out that this is what a salary king should look like. This is the reason why he is called a king! at the same time. The terrible pressure lingering around Xia En and the two of them disappeared, allowing them to regain their ability to move. Xia En looked at An Bing beside him: "Ms. An Bing, it''s time for us to leave." [Tinder] The appearance of the middle-salary king broke the dilemma in front of them. However, the collapse of the entire memory space did not stop. And soon, it will spread to their area. on the other hand. This [Fire] is not the real salary king after all. Its power is actually still fading, and it obviously has a time limit. If you don''t leave, I''m afraid it will be too late! Dark Bing was obviously aware of this, after taking a deep look at the flame giant with his back to them. An Bing and Xia En walked into the wooden door that stood in place. "Bang" sound. The door was closed. The broken Fanyan City and the undead were shut out of the room by them. Inside the door is still a dark and decaying cabin, but it looks particularly reassuring. It wasn''t until he walked in here that Xia En''s high-spirited heart finally relaxed and he said softly. "We''re safe, for now." An Bing''s expression was still very complicated. She looked at the wooden box that originally contained [Fire] in her hand. At this time, the wooden box was empty, with only the residual temperature proving that a [Fire] had been placed inside. An Bing couldn''t help but ask. "Just now, what was that..." After thinking about it, Xia En guessed. "These [fire seeds] are essentially equivalent to a ray of incarnation of King Xin, and may be vaguely connected to his true body." "Just now, that [Fire] absorbed the secret power of King Xin who reappeared from [Great Flame], so it could temporarily burst out with that kind of power, right?" "As for its triggering conditions, I''m afraid it''s because of... the danger to your life you encountered at that time." Hearing this, An Bing couldn''t help but fell silent. "To...protect me?" Her mood at the moment was obviously extremely complicated. However, after all, this is a relationship issue between the couple, and there is no need for an outsider like Xia En to meddle in their own business. He simply ignored the dark ice around him, and while healing his wounds, he opened the panel to view the gifts given by the previously undead Hannuo before his death. Law of Death [Type: Power of Law] [Quality: Elementary] [Description: Hanno gradually gained his own understanding of death during his battles. [In order to bring death to his enemies equally, Hanno chose to use death as the rule for promotion to legend. [Because you have glimpsed the essence of the law, and coupled with the gift of the undead Hanno, you can use the power of this law in a superficial form. [Death is the end of all life...] After reading the description, Xia En felt strange. [Power of Law], is it something that can be given away? After thinking about it carefully, Xia En felt that it was not that simple. Strictly speaking, [The Power of Law] itself is not a secret power, but more like a kind of perception. Hannuo''s original intention may just be to convey this sentiment to Xia En. It''s a bit similar to the inheritance in Xianxia novels. It''s just because Xia En has the special ability of [Eye of Peeping Secrets], and even witnessed the existence of [Great Law], and directly solidified this understanding into [Power of Law], he can directly use it. However, the panel also made it clear that Xia En was only using this rule superficially. To truly unleash the power of the Law of Death, in-depth research or understanding is required. even so. Being able to master a [Power of Law] at the sixth level is already something that many secret practitioners dare not even think about. Perhaps in this operation, this ability can also work wonders. After a short rest. Xia En''s injuries have basically recovered, and An Bing''s mood has stabilized again. "I don''t know what''s going on with the others." Shane sighed softly. Although a node of [Great Flame] was eliminated, his mood did not relax much. Not to mention that there are still four nodes left. Just solving this node put them in danger several times. In the end, if it weren''t for the [Fire] mid-salary king''s remaining will to inspire them, they might have been in dire straits. And even Xia En and the two of them are in such danger. Not to mention, other members of the action. What Xia En is most worried about is the few people he knows well. Even Carles and Jane may die at any time inside [Great Flame]. However, in this dispersed situation, there is no use worrying. All Xia En can do is to eliminate the remaining nodes as quickly as possible and destroy the undead [Great Flame]. "Dip...dip!" Suddenly this time. The communicator in Xia En''s hand suddenly responded. However, the communicator displayed an unfamiliar communication frequency band. Xia En hesitated for a moment and then connected the communication. "Ahem...hey, is anyone listening?" The voice coming out of the communicator was equally unfamiliar. It was the voice of a middle-aged man. Xia En''s expression suddenly changed slightly. Even though he was not familiar with the remaining members of the operation, he had at least heard their voices. It was natural to tell that the man making the call was not a member of the action team. So, inside this undead [Great Flame], who can talk to them with the help of a communicator? As if sensing Xia En''s vigilance, the man''s explanation quickly came from the communicator. "I am the captain of the [King], Gord." "I just suddenly received the communicator frequency band from the military, so I took the liberty to connect it." "Excuse me, who are you? [King] Captain Gord? Upon hearing this, Xia En was suddenly shocked. I didn''t expect that the man who accessed the communication band would be him! And this also confirmed Carles and Moritz''s conjecture. Gord actually persisted in [Great Flame] for such a long time! Xia En has truly sensed the danger inside [Great Flame]. And the fact that Gord can do this cannot be explained by luck. Thinking of this, Xia En didn''t hesitate and spoke immediately. "We are infiltration members sent by the federal military, and we are here to eliminate [Great Flame]." "Infiltrate operation?" Gord murmured: "It is indeed a wise choice." "It is almost impossible to confront [Great Flame] head-on." "It seems...the information I delivered last time has worked." Shane asked again. "Colonel Gold, how is the situation over there?" Hearing this, Gord''s slightly weak wry smile came from the communicator. "Our situation is naturally not very good." "The entire crew of the [King] is down to ten. Even if we carry a space device to store supplies, food and drinking water are almost running out." "Compared to these, the worst thing is actually the morale of the soldiers." "Many soldiers feel that the federal military has given up on us." "Without rescue and the inability to escape from the body of the undead [Great Flame], morale is extremely low. There have even been several suicides." "However, your arrival is undoubtedly good news, and I will inform them of this." "By the way, how many members of your infiltration operation...are there in total? Xia En hesitated for a moment and then said. "There are only ten people in total." "Ten people." Colonel Gold seemed a little stunned and said after a moment of silence. "That''s right. Without arousing [Da Yan]''s vigilance, this is already the upper limit of the number of people, right?" Shane explained. "Although there are only ten people, those who participated in the operation are all the elites of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "Your daughter Carles is among them." (End of chapter) Chapter 370 [Xifeng Plateau] [Where the ancient drag Chapter 370 [Westwind Plateau] [Where the Ancient Dragon is Buried] "Carles?" "Is she really here too?" Although Gord''s tone was a bit complicated regarding Carles'' arrival, he was not surprised. After all, it was his daughter. Gord knew very well, what would Carles do in this situation? However, not so long ago, his daughter was not a daughter. suddenly. Gold noticed something in Shane''s tone and asked. "Are you... the Captain Shane whom Carles mentioned?" Xia En admitted frankly: "It''s me." Gord''s tone couldn''t help but be a little surprised: "I didn''t expect it to be such a coincidence." "Furthermore, Captain Shane, if you can join the infiltration operation, you are probably already a sixth-level Mystic, right?" "This kind of promotion speed... is really scary." Gold naturally heard about Shane''s original realm from Carles. It didn''t take long for him to advance to the sixth level. Even from the perspective of Gord, a legendary strongman, this is already a genius among geniuses. However, what would Gold think if he knew that Shane had defeated a legendary undead just before? "rustle" At this moment, some noise came from the communicator. Gord''s voice immediately turned serious. "The signal of the internal communicator in [Great Yan] is unstable and may be disconnected at any time." "I''ll keep the story short and tell you the intelligence we have collected recently." "You should know that there are these five nodes inside [Great Flame]." "After sacrificing several reconnaissance soldiers, we can determine that these five nodes are located in 5 different memory scenes." "The first scene, and the easiest scene to enter, is Fanyan City in the Great Yan Kingdom." "In this scene, the level of danger alone is not high, but the node seems to be located deep in the palace and is under layers of protection. It is not easy to eliminate him." "It''s best to explore this scene after meeting up with other companions." "Well" Xia En hesitated for a moment and then said. "Actually, we just destroyed the node of that memory scene." "ah?" Hearing this, even Colonel Gold couldn''t help but be stunned. "Have you rejoined the other members of the operation?" Shane replied: "No, not counting the other companion, there are only two of us." "It seems that I still underestimated you, Captain Shane." Shocked, Gord didn''t think Shane would lie about this kind of thing, so he continued. "As for the second memory scene, it seems to be on an uninhabited ice field." "But what seems to be hidden beneath that ice sheet?" Ice fieldsunderground Xia En''s expression immediately changed slightly, and he thought of the underground research institute that An Bing had mentioned. Could it be said that another node is hidden in that research institute? Moreover, since the node of Fanyan City scene is King Xin. So, will similar situations occur in other memory scenes? More importantly. In different memory fragments, King Xin may have different attitudes towards them. "Sha...the third node is...sha..." At this time, the noise in the communicator became more and more obvious, and Gord also speeded up his speech. "It is suspected to be the ruins after the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom." "That memory scene was full of wandering undead. The danger was extremely high, and the information sent back by the soldiers was extremely limited." "Currently, we have determined the memory scenes where these three nodes are located." "What about you? Have you obtained any new information? Xia En said without hiding anything. "In the scene in Fanyan City, the core node is King Xin himself." It was with his help that we eliminated a node. "One more thing, there seems to be other infiltrators in the Great Yan Palace." "According to my guess, it is very likely that he is a member of the [Truth Society], so please be careful!" "[Truth Society]?" Colonel Gold''s tone was obviously doubtful. "Aren''t they working with you?" "After all, the [Truth Society]''s position on this matter should be consistent with ours, right?" It is understandable that Gord would have such thoughts. After all, when they were trapped in the [Cold Sea], even the dispute between the three secret sects had not yet started. In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter how crazy the [Truth Society] is, they will not sit back and watch the second great flood come. Xia En originally had the same attitude. However, after discovering that the founder of the [Truth Society], the Omniscient Sage, had contact with King Xin when the first great flood came. Shane''s thoughts changed somewhat. Their purpose of sneaking into [Great Flame] is definitely not that kind and simple. However, after all, this is Xia En''s subjective conjecture and cannot be used as real evidence. He could only remind Gold: "No matter what, please be careful of the members of the [Truth Society]. They are probably preparing some kind of larger conspiracy." Hearing this, Gold did not continue to delve deeper, but said solemnly. "I understand, and I would be wary of them." "The communication is about to be cut off, Captain Shane, I wish you good luck in your operation." There was a "di" sound. The voice in the communicator stopped suddenly, and Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little heavy. It is not difficult to guess that Colonel Gold and other crew members are most likely located somewhere on the King. In the same space as this cabin. But when they open the cabin door, Shane and the others will enter another memory scene. It seems very close, but actually it is far away. Even the access to the communication band this time may be a low-probability event. It was almost impractical to locate Colonel Gold and rendezvous with them. I''m afraid it''s for this reason. After learning about the situation of Shane and others, Colonel Gold did not even say "please for rescue". And from just a few words from Gord, Shane could tell The condition of the crew of the [King] is probably that they have run out of fuel and are about to reach the limit of endurance. After the communication is disconnected this time, whether or not Gord''s signal can be received again may become a problem. But now, all Xia En can do is believe in them. After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xia En asked. "Ms. Dark Ice, how are you resting?" An Bing replied: "No problem, I can leave at any time." "On the contrary, Captain Shane, your injury..." She looked at Xia En with concern. Xia En waved his hand: "It was just a small injury, and it has all healed now." Hearing this, An Bing''s expression couldn''t help but feel a little strange. That was the full blow of the legendary strongman. Even with this special robe as protection, it is not something that ordinary people can handle. Didn''t Xia En vomit blood before? It''s all right so quickly? This physique is simply more terrifying than any ancient ferocious beast. However, An Bing, who has seen Xia En''s extraordinary qualities several times, has become somewhat accustomed to it. Compared with defeating the legend head-on, this is just a small thing. Subsequently. Xia En and the other two walked to the door, took a deep breath, and then opened the door. call- An icy cold wind blew in my face. What you can see is a gray sky. In front of us is an endless wilderness. A layer of gray-white frost covered the ground, making it look even more desolate. The sky and the earth in the distance are almost indistinguishable. Standing on such an ice sheet makes people feel extremely small. After seeing this ice field, An Bing''s expression suddenly changed. Memories from the past began to come to mind, making her mood particularly complicated. An Bing said: "This is where I found the family members kidnapped by the [Black Flame Walker]. "In other words, the research institute is most likely located underground in this ice sheet." "really" The moment he saw this wasteland, Xia En had a similar suspicion. And An Bing''s words prove this. An Bing continued: "This ice sheet is called [Westerly Plateau]. Because of its higher altitude, it is colder than other places in [The Far North]." "Even after King Xin founded the [Great Yan Kingdom], the temperature in the [Westwind Plateau] is still very low, making it unsuitable for ordinary people to live." "It''s basically an undeveloped no man''s land." Speaking of these past events, An Bing''s eyes showed a little sparkle. "It''s just that there are two unique and rare specialties on this plateau." "One is [Ultra Arctic Ice Crystal Mine], and the other is [Westerly Frost Wolf]." "The former is an excellent secret power transmission material that can be used to make precious relics. It can be called the strategic reserve resource of [Great Yan Kingdom]." "King Xin once set up a mine to mine ice crystal minerals here." "And the latter is a unique creature that has absorbed the icy secret power of [Westwind Plateau]." "Their hearts, blood, and the horns on their heads can all be used as materials for [people of ice and snow] to practice." "So, this is also an excellent place for [people of ice and snow] to gain experience." "Generally when they reach adulthood, our people will come to the [Westwind Plateau] to hunt frost wolves." "It''s not only to train your actual combat abilities, but also to obtain resources for practice." "I see." Xia En nodded and gained more understanding of this [Westwind Plateau]. Just looking at this vast ice field, Xia En felt a little confused. It''s not like Fanyan City has a core and accurate palace as a target. The ice field in front of us is too desolate and too vast. There are no buildings with any signs on the surface. Trying to find the underground research institute here is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. But in the current situation, it seems that we can only bite the bullet and find it. soon. Xia En and the two headed towards the depths of the ice field. The icy cold wind blew on the two of them like knives, bringing a biting chill. I have to say. The temperature in [Westerly Plateau] is indeed extremely low. Ordinary secret travelers may not be able to withstand the extremely cold weather here. Fortunately, Xia En''s physique is extraordinary. There is also a black flame robe for keeping warm, so there is no big problem for a while. On the other hand, An Bing beside her was not affected by the cold, but the aura on her body became more stable and powerful. Its like Its like the cold secret power in the body has been replenished! Not only that, an icy blue light gradually appeared in An Bing''s eyes. The ends of the hair also show a similar color. Obviously, this is the unique blood talent of [People of Ice and Snow], which can draw the power of ice for their own use. This icy and snowy environment is like their home field. The [People of Ice and Snow] were at home here and were able to display their true strength. An Bing said. "Captain Shane, if we encounter any battle next, please leave it to me first." "You should conserve your strength first to deal with more powerful enemies." Xia En was not polite to An Bing and nodded. "Okay, then I''ll leave it to you, Miss An Bing." Perhaps their words became the crow''s mouth. Within a few minutes, several muffled wolf howls were heard not far away. Xia En looked in the direction where the howl came from and saw a few small dots appearing on the ice field. Several giant wolves with gray fur were approaching Xia En and the two of them. Strangely, these giant wolves generally have a pair of sharp horns on their heads. Inexplicably, it''s similar to Xian Ge''s dragon horns in Xia En''s impression. Seeing these giant wolves approaching, An Bing did not panic at all, but a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. She introduced. "That''s the [West Wind Frost Wolf]. It''s been a long time." "I remember that my coming-of-age ceremony back then required me to kill a [Western Frost Wolf] alone on this ice sheet." "That was also the first **** battle I experienced in my life." Hearing this, Xia En secretly clicked his tongue. Unexpectedly, An Bing, who now has an elegant and luxurious temperament, had such an experience in the past. But think about it too. The people of ice and snow must have their own uniqueness in being able to establish themselves in such a harsh environment as the Far North. This slightly cruel coming-of-age ceremony is probably the reason why their people are so brave and good at fighting. However, Xia En was still a little curious about the strange appearance of [West Wind Frost Wolf]. "Who is the opposite corner?" An Bing explained: "That is one of the characteristics of the [West Wind Frost Wolf]." "It is said that an ancient dragon was buried under this ice field." "Perhaps for this reason, the creatures on the [West Wind Plateau] will more or less have the blood of ancient dragons." "But this legend is too old. I don''t know whether it is true or false." "The bloodline of the ancient dragon..." Xia En looked thoughtful. He was slightly surprised when he suddenly heard a familiar name here. But he didn''t think much about it, thinking it was a simple coincidence. at the same time. Those [West Wind Frost Wolves] had already approached Xia En and the two of them. There was a desire for prey, coldness, and the slightest fear in those wolf eyes. They probably realized that the two humans in front of them were not simple, so they did not attack immediately. Seeing this, Xia En simply let out a low roar. The ancient dragon bloodline in his body was activated, exuding the majesty of a dragon. "Ouch! Ouch-" As soon as the frost wolves noticed this aura, they were so frightened that they fled with their tails between their legs. An Bing glanced at Xia En faintly: "Captain Xia En, didn''t you agree to let me take action?" (End of chapter) Chapter 371 【Underground Research Institute】【Thread Chapter 371 [Underground Research Institute] [Thread of Destiny] "Ahem..." Looking at An Bing''s eyes, Xia En coughed twice and explained. "Just a small experiment." The attempt just now made Xia En sure There is no doubt that these [West Wind Frost Wolves] do have the blood of ancient dragons flowing in their bodies. Only then would he run away because of the ancient dragon aura he released. but. Before the ancient dragons disappeared from the world of Seven Seas, they were the masters of this world, with footprints all over the world. It is not too surprising to encounter the traces left by the ancient dragon in this inaccessible [Land of the Far North]. Neither Xia En nor Xia En took this matter too seriously, just treating it as an unexpected episode. Their more important goal now is to find the research institute hidden underground. After walking for some time. The ice field in front of us is still desolate and monotonous. There was no living person in sight, nor any sign of life. The freezing wind seemed to never stop. There was no change in the surrounding scenery. As for finding the location of the research institute, it is even further away. Even Xia En, who had always been calm, couldn''t help but become a little impatient in this situation. "This can''t go on like this." "When it''s absolutely necessary, you can only use that method." The last method that Xia En thought of was very simple and crude, which was to make a big noise directly above the ice sheet. This will attract the attention of the [Black Flame Walker] stationed on the ice sheet. Since they couldn''t find the underground research institute, they simply asked the people in the underground research institute to find them. Of course, the disadvantages of this approach are also obvious. That means Xia En and the others can no longer sneak into the research institute secretly and can only negotiate with each other head-on. What will happen then is unpredictable. Especially There are also [Ice and Snow People] imprisoned in the research institute. [Black Flame Walker]''s attitude towards Dark Ice is also unknown. After thinking for a moment, Xia En told An Bing his plan and said. "If this is really the only way to do it, then I will be the one to communicate with [Black Flame Walker]." "Miss Anbing, hide in the dark, follow us to the underground research institute, and act in secret." After listening, An Bing did not refuse and nodded solemnly. "I see." However, just when Xia En was about to implement the plan. He suddenly noticed a mysterious connection. Deep in his mind, there seemed to be a voice calling him. "Captain Shane...Captain Shane, can you hear me?" Xia En was a little surprised. "This sound is..." The sound was no stranger to him. Because this is the voice that belongs to Jane! However, Xia En was greatly surprised by this method of contact that came directly from the depths of his soul. "Jane, is that you?" "Great, Captain Shane, I finally contacted you." Jane''s voice continued to ring in Xia En''s heart. Except for some slight distortion, the quality of the entire call was very high, even clearer than the communicator Moritz gave them. Jane continued. "There seems to be a strong signal interference source in this area, and normal communicators cannot be used." "This is the only way I can contact you." Shane picked up the communicator and took a look. I found that as Jane said, the current communicator cannot connect to any frequency band at all. However, what makes Xia En even more curious is how Jane conveyed her inner voice? Jane also expected that Xia En would be surprised by this and quickly explained "This is a unique secret technique that I have developed personally, called [Soul Echo]." "It allows me to communicate across distances with goals that are closely connected to my [Thread of Destiny]." "I originally thought that Captain Shane and I''s [Thread of Destiny] wasn''t enough to perform this secret technique." [Soul Echo]? [Thread of Destiny]? Listening to these unfamiliar terms, Xia En''s expression was a little strange. I have to say. Among his many crew members, only Jane''s ability was the most elusive to him, and she could always bring him some new surprises. To this day, Xia En doesn''t know how many hidden methods Jane has. But think about the years that Jane lives... Mastering so many weird abilities seems to be a matter of course. And soon, Xia En noticed the [Thread of Destiny] mentioned by Jane. Jane mentioned before that the [threads of fate] of Xia En and many people are closely intertwined. And now, Jane has become one of these people. Think about it carefully. Maybe this is because not long ago, Shane used the panel to bind Jane as an official crew member on the Black Swan. Since then, their fates have been closely linked. Only in this way can we communicate through [Soul Echo]. Xia En asked after suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind. "Ms. Jane, where are you now?" "Are there any other companions with you?" Jane replied: "Not long ago, Carles and I met." "We appear to be in an underground building now." "Inside the building, there are people suspected of being [Black Flame Walkers] patrolling around." "However, they appear to be highly wary of outsiders." "To avoid exposure, we did not negotiate with them, but temporarily hid in the ventilation ducts." Xia En was surprised: "You are actually already inside the underground research institute?" Obviously, when entering this memory scene, the positions where people appear are actually random. Jane and Carles were teleported directly to the underground research institute. I dont know if this is good luck or bad luck. "One more thing..." Jian You hesitated for a moment and continued. "I saw a very obvious [Truth Society] style in this underground research institute." "Whether it is the form of the building or the internal structure, it seems to have been designed and manufactured by people from the [Truth Society]." "I even suspect that... there may be some kind of special living experiment being conducted within the institute." Hearing this, Xia En''s expression immediately became serious. As the former "Mrs. Serenity" with the eighth truth number, Jane naturally has a deep understanding of the "Truth Society". Since she said that this institute has the style of the [Truth Society], it is basically the same. As for in vivo experiments. Xia En was not too surprised when he learned that An Bing''s tribe was captured and taken to the underground research institute. He already had similar conjectures. Jane didn''t know that Xia En had already learned the basic information about the underground research institute from An Bing, as well as the fact that King Xin had been in contact with the [Omniscient Sage]. Jane''s tone was a little hesitant because she was concerned about the relationship between Xia En and Xin Wang. And after knowing the style of the underground research institute [Truth Society]. A clearer guess emerged in Xia En''s mind - During the era of the first great flood, King Xin had an in-depth cooperation with the [Omniscient Sage] of the [Truth Society]. The purpose is naturally to prevent the disaster of annihilation from coming. And this underground research institute, and even the experiments on the [People of Ice and Snow], are all part of this plan. Coupled with Xin Wang''s strong interest in [Instant Time]. Not hard to guess. What he wants to obtain is probably the [Law of Ice] that the [People of Ice and Snow] can freeze in time and space! The moment I figured this out. Xia En''s secret-peeping eyes immediately gave feedback. [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" is +8%! [Comprehensive quality: 32 34! The familiar and warm secret power of gift came to Xia En from somewhere. Indescribably comfortable and comfortable. The few hidden wounds left in the previous battle with Hanno were healed. The increase in solution density shows that Xia En''s conjecture is correct. He has touched upon a corner of the truth! Regarding this information, Xia En did not hide it from An Bing, Jian and others. He simply explained their experience in the first memory scene directly to Jane, and at the same time also revealed his guess about the institute. After listening. Jane was shocked: "What? Captain Shane, have you eliminated a node?" What a high efficiency While they were still struggling to explore the research institute, Xia En had already eliminated a key node and even defeated a legendary undead. Even Jane, who had known Xia En for a long time, couldn''t help but feel a little outrageous at this moment. But that''s why. Jane also gained a little more confidence in completely destroying [Great Flame]. With Captain Shane here, we might really be able to do this and return to the real world safely. '' Xia En''s speculation about the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society] made Jane fall into deep thought. "If King Xin really met the [Omniscient Sage] in the past..." "Then everything here will make sense." "At that time, the [Truth Society] might not have been called the [Truth Society], and it might not have gone to the extreme pursuit of truth as it does now." "In Wang Xin''s view, the other party is just a special kind of researcher, and there is nothing wrong with him cooperating with them." "I just don''t know... what is the purpose of [Omniscient Sage] doing this?" Xia En asked: "Ms. Jian, do you know anything else about the [Omniscient Sage]?" There was a little helplessness in Jane''s voice. "Honestly, very little is known." "I should have said that the [Omniscient Sage] is the most mysterious existence in the [Truth Society]." "Don''t say it''s me, even the two top three scholars in this era''s [Truth Number] have never seen him." "The creation of the [Truth Society] seems to be just a trivial matter for the [Omniscient Sage]." "In the following years, he has never interfered with the development direction of the [Truth Society], nor has he used the power of the president to do anything." "Because he has not shown up for so long, there was once a second-ranked truth scholar who tried to replace his truth number." "As a result, the day after the scholar announced the incident, he died mysteriously in his room." When talking about this past event, Jane''s tone was filled with lingering fear. "Even all the documents, materials, notes, and research results he left behind...have become gibberish that cannot be observed by outsiders." "It''s equivalent to erasing it from both academic and physiological perspectives." "Such a punishment is dozens of times more terrifying to ordinary scholars than simple death." "After two or three similar incidents, no truth scholar dares to seek the number one ranking anymore." "This can be proved. Although the [Omniscient Sage] is extremely mysterious and barely shows up, he is definitely still alive." "And he has certain control over the [Truth Society]." "Have you survived from the time of the great flood to the present..." Shane muttered to himself. Such a long lifespan can only be attributed to the Immortal Species, or a non-human being like King Xin. Thousands of years ago, the strength of this [Omniscient Sage] was already extraordinary and was recognized by King Xin. And after such a long period of accumulation, where will he reach? Xia En felt a heavy pressure in his heart inexplicably, so much so that the slight satisfaction he felt in defeating Hanno disappeared in an instant. However, compared to the mysterious [Omniscient Sage]. What is more important now is to find the underground research institute and destroy the [Great Flame] node in it. So, Shane asked. "Is there any way we can lock your location?" Jane replied: "Maybe it can be done with the help of the induction of [Thread of Destiny]." "Captain Shane, relax, I''ll teach you what to do." As he spoke, an invisible secret power was inspired from Xia En''s heart, causing subtle changes in the world in Xia En''s eyes. Many strange, seemingly non-existent threads appeared in his field of vision. This is somewhat similar to the points and lines seen by [Peeping Eyes of Secrets], but it is also somewhat different. One of the thicker threads was currently connected to Xia En, leading to a direction not far away. Xia En was surprised: "Is this the [Thread of Destiny]?" Jane''s voice came intermittently. "The loss of long-distance transmission of secret power is too great. I can''t open this kind of vision for you all the time." Shane thought for a moment and said. "Ms. Jane, you can remove your secret power, and I can see the trajectory of the [Line of Destiny] myself." "ah?" Jane was stunned for a moment, but she didn''t express any doubt about it. She just silently withdrew the projected secret power. immediately. Xia En pushed his [Peeping Eyes of Secrets], and [Threads of Destiny] naturally appeared in his field of vision. In fact, Xia En could see these [threads of fate] before. But at that time, he didn''t know the meaning of these threads. They are mixed in with other lines and difficult to distinguish. But with Jane''s help, Shane locked the "layer" where the [Thread of Destiny] is located Distinguish them from other lines and points of light. And just as Jane said, there are several particularly thick "threads of fate" lingering around Xia En. Apparently, that was his crew. Some of them also have a faint pink color, which seems to be related to marriage. The most conspicuous one leads to a relatively distant place, which makes Xia En think of Joey''s figure inexplicably. In addition, there seems to be Sha Jingjing, Laila, Carles, etc... The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly. Jane would give such an evaluation at that time, and it was indeed not without reason. Shaking his head and shaking those weird thoughts out of his mind, Shane walked towards the end of the [Line of Destiny] belonging to Carles and Jane. (End of chapter) Chapter 372 【Unknown truth】 Chapter 372 [Unknown truth] With the guidance of [Thread of Destiny]. Xia En and the two are like ships that have found a lighthouse on the vast sea. They have determined the direction of their goal and will not get lost in this wilderness. As sixth-level secret travelers, the two of them were naturally extremely fast when they were on the road with all their strength. About ten minutes later. They followed the guide and came to the foot of a towering snow-capped mountain. Seeing this snow mountain, An Bing suddenly understood. "It turns out that King Xin hid the research institute here." Shane asked: "Where is this?" An Bing explained: "I told you before that there is another specialty on the Xifeng Plateau - [Arctic Ice Crystal Mine]." "And in this valley, there is a mine that digs this kind of ore." "I''m afraid King Xin hid this research institute underground in the mine." "Since the ice crystal mine itself is a strategic reserve resource of [Dayan Kingdom], the status of the mine is particularly important. Even the location of this mine is strictly confidential." "Only a very few people and the [Black Flame Walker] know about it, and he hid the research underground, making it even more hidden..." The two were talking. Suddenly, Xia En''s expression changed and he looked in a direction not far away. There, several figures in black robes were walking towards the valley. The jet-black robe stood out against the gray ice field. It looked a bit eerie and eerie, making people feel chilled in their hearts. There is no doubt that those are a group of [Black Flame Walkers]. Among the [Black Flame Walkers], there are several people wearing hoods. On the surface, it looked like they had been forcibly tied here and had lost their personal freedom. Because these "prisoners" didn''t have the black rock robes to cover their auras, Xia En discovered their arrival immediately. And after seeing this group of people. An Bing''s face became a little ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Those...are my people." Xia En glanced at her slightly worriedly. Regardless of whether King Xin arrested the [People of Ice and Snow] for revenge, research, or other reasons. This matter itself has already touched the taboo of An Bing. No one will feel good when they see one of their own people being arrested. Xia En was a little worried that An Bing would not be able to help but act emotionally and take action against those [Black Flame Walkers]. Fortunately, An Bing finally knew that this space was just a reflection of a past memory. Those tribesmen are just fictitious projections. Therefore, An Bing just bit his lip and suppressed the urge to take action. However, her eyes were inevitably a little sad and complicated. "Captain Shane, don''t worry about me, I can still distinguish the seriousness of things." Noticing Xia En''s eyes, An Bing said. There was determination in her tone. "Besides, I came here to find out the truth about this matter." "This time, I won''t run away anymore." Hearing this, Xia En felt relieved a little. But at this time, there was still a problem before them. That is How do they enter this institute in the valley? It is conceivable that there must be a strong defense force in such a research institute. It is obviously not a wise move to break in head-on. It seems that this is the only entrance to the valley, and there is no other way to sneak in. This current situation puts both Xia En and An Bing in a bit of trouble. At this time, the group of [Black Flame Walkers] had arrived at the entrance of the valley. Immediately, guards came out of the valley, seemingly negotiating and confirming the identities of this group of people. It wasn''t until someone in the [Black Flame Walker] took out something that the guards let him through. However, due to the distance, Xia En could not see clearly what they took out. But what surprised the two of them was Xia En. After sending the group of [People of Ice and Snow] to the valley, not all of these [Black Flame Walkers] entered the valley. Three of them returned the same way, as if they had other tasks yet to be completed. Saw this scene. Xia En and An Bing looked at each other and saw similar meanings in each other''s eyes. Chance! These [Black Flame Walkers] must be carrying some token of identity. As long as you get it, you may be able to enter the valley smoothly! After confirming the target, Xia En and the two silently restrained their auras and followed the three lone [Black Flame Walkers]. Although the [Black Flame Walkers] are the elite troops of the [Great Yan Kingdom], it is impossible for everyone to be a sixth-level secret pather. There is still a big gap between the realms of Xia En and the two. In addition, they never expected that someone would silently stare at them in this desolate ice field. Therefore, Xia En and An Bing approached behind them smoothly. In the sound of howling cold wind. Shane also vaguely heard their conversation. "Boss, is it really okay for us to do this?" The first person to speak was a slightly childish voice. "After all, the current [Ice and Snow People] are also our [Great Yan Country]''s subjects." "Isn''t it inappropriate to attack them like this?" "What do you know?" Another rough voice sounded. "These [people of ice and snow] are not honest to begin with, and have always had evil intentions towards us [Great Yan Country]." "I heard that there have been several assassinations against the king behind his back. This is the retribution they deserve." "Huh? Is there such a thing?" The voice before was extremely surprised. "But...our current Princess, isn''t she also a member of the [People of Ice and Snow]?" "How dare they do such a thing?" [Black Flame Walker], who was called the "boss", sighed. "Her Royal Highness, the princess, is also a miserable person. She is caught between the family and the king... I''m afraid it''s not a good feeling, right?" At this time, the other person who was silent said: "What you are talking about are just rumors." "There is no evidence that those assassins must have been sent by the [People of Ice and Snow]." "More importantly... I think many of the people we arrested are innocent and unknowing people." "I''m afraid it''s inappropriate for the king to do what he does..." The leader [Black Flame Walker] chuckled. "That''s why I said, you don''t understand anything!" "Have you ever seen what the inside of the institute looks like?" "Do you know what kind of life [people of ice and snow] live there?" The person who questioned him earlier was a little surprised. "Wait, you mean..." The leader grinned and said, "Anyway, listen to my advice." Read and think about everything, and dont rush to a conclusion. "Besides, the king''s decision is beyond doubt." "All we have to do is obey his orders." The leader''s tone was a little fanatical. "Because... he was right before, he is right now, and he will be right in the future." "As for what other people think, it doesn''t matter at all." "History and those who come after us will rectify our name." After hearing this, the expressions of the two people beside him changed, and they were faintly touched. But soon. The leader [Black Flame Walker]''s expression changed and he looked in a direction behind him. "Who! Who is there?" Then, Xia En and An Bing walked out from behind the rocks. Before coming forward, An Bing took off the veil on his face, and his expression looked extremely complicated. Seeing that beautiful face, the expressions of the three [Black Flame Walkers] suddenly changed. "Your Highness the Princess!?" "But, how is it possible?" "Shouldn''t the princess still be in the palace yesterday? The leader was in disbelief: "Why did she suddenly appear here?" An Bing looked at the other party and said. "Captain Baker, we meet again." The little boss named Baker couldn''t help but feel a little confused. He is just a little-known squad leader. When did he meet Her Royal Highness the Princess? Did she even remember her name? What Baker didn''t know was that in real history, it was him who was caught red-handed by Dark Ice during the execution of his mission. Even what he said was exactly the same as now. However, now is not the time to think about this issue. Baker frowned and asked, "Your Highness, did you hear everything?" An Bing nodded. "Beck, the matter has come to this, why don''t you tell me everything you know, so that you may suffer less." Hearing this, Baker shook his head firmly. "My life was saved by the king." "After that, I swore to be loyal to the king forever." "Even if it''s you, I won''t compromise!" As he spoke, Baker took a challenge stance. An Bing sighed: "In that case, let''s fight." The battle was over in an instant. Even though the three of them were extremely determined, in the face of the absolute strength gap, they only resisted for one more second. However, after being captured. Facing Xia En''s inquiry, the three [Black Flame Walkers] all tacitly and resolutely remained silent, unwilling to reveal any information. The loyalty of [Black Flame Walker] is evident. After searching the body, Shane found an empty wooden box. There is still some familiar secret power left in it. Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised: "Is this...[Fire]?" Although it is somewhat different from the [Fire] given to them by King Xin. But Xia En can also tell that this is indeed a wooden box used to hold [fire]. As for the reason why the [Fire] inside disappeared, its probably because After Baker noticed the arrival of Shane and the others, he extinguished it in advance. "This [Tinder] is your voucher for entering the underground research institute?" Shane looked at Beck questioningly. In response, Baker just sneered. "So what? This [fire] has been extinguished by me." "You want to enter the underground research institute? I advise you to give up!" "Only those whom the king has great trust can enter." On the side, An Bingbing asked coldly. "Am I not considered someone he trusts greatly?" "this" Upon hearing this, Baker suddenly fell silent. Different from the cold and hard attitude towards Xia En, the expressions on these [Black Flame Walkers] when they looked at An Bing were inevitably a bit complicated, and some even had the slightest hint of shame. after all. An Bing is the current princess, and from a certain perspective, King Xin''s actions are indeed a bit sorry for her. "So...what if I say, I have this?" As he spoke, Xia En took out the [Fire] he carried with him and let out a trace of its breath. "What?" Baker was immediately shocked: "You actually have the [fire] gifted by the king?" [Fire] itself is equivalent to King Xins token. Moreover, the aura of the [Fire] in Xia En''s hand seemed to be purer and more condensed than the one they had. Could it be said that this man is also someone whom King Xin trusts? But if that''s the case, why did they come to secretly investigate this underground research institute? For a moment, Baker''s thinking couldn''t help but become a little confused. Shane asked again. "Now, can you tell me what''s going on inside the institute?" An Bing then asked: "Do you know what kind of life the [people of ice and snow] live in the research institute?" "Aren''t my people being used as experimental materials?" Hearing such a question, Baker''s face showed a look of struggle. But in the end, he just said. "Your Royal Highness, I can only say that the situation inside the institute may be different from what you expected." "But the specifics can only be witnessed with your own eyes." An Bing was a little surprised: "Won''t you stop me?" Baker smiled bitterly: "I also want to stop you, but isn''t it impossible?" "If you really want to find out the truth, then go ahead." Maybe something happened in the future that affected him, or maybe there was some deviation in [Da Yan]''s memory reappearance. Baker''s attitude seems to be somewhat different from the real history. An Bing suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded. "I will." Afterwards, Dark Ice temporarily froze the three [Black Flame Walkers], while he and Xia En walked toward the valley. Although it took a circle, they still found a way to enter the institute. On the way, An Bing took the initiative to mention. "Captain Shane, how about this, you play as [Black Flame Walker]." "Let me play the role of the captured [people of ice and snow], which may facilitate our actions." Shane agreed. After all, it would be a bit suspicious to go to the institute empty-handed like this. But taking a prisoner seemed justifiable. On the way, Xia En was also thinking about the information revealed in the conversation between the three Bakers. It is not difficult to see that [Black Flame Walker] also has a certain resistance to the arrest of [People of Ice and Snow]. Moreover, not all [Black Flame Walkers] know the situation inside the research institute. This shows the high degree of confidentiality. And Baker''s last words made Shane a little confused. It''s not like An Bing thought... Could it be said that the [people of ice and snow] who were imprisoned in the research institute may not have suffered inhumane treatment? However, Xia En also clearly felt that Baker had some blind trust and admiration for King Xin. His words are likely to be biased towards the salary king. What the facts are can only be witnessed by their own eyes. Not long after. The two came to the entrance of the valley. Since their combat uniforms were originally modified from the [Black Flame Robe], once the hood is worn, they are almost the same as the [Black Flame Walker]. Coupled with the unique aura exuded by [Tinder]. The guard just muttered "It''s quite efficient" and let the two of them enter the valley. (End of chapter) Chapter 373 【Underground Research Institute】【Volunte Chapter 373 [Underground Research Institute] [Volunteers and Prisoners] After passing through a passage leading underground, Xia En and the two officially entered the underground research institute. But what he saw in front of him surprised Xia En. The silver-gray walls and ceiling have a unique and technological sheen. These characteristics gave Xia En a strong sense of immediacy. he murmured softly. "[Ember Shelter]?" Yes, the scene in this research institute was obviously similar to the [Ember Shelter] he had been to. It''s like it was built according to a template. Combined with the fact that this shelter is the product of the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society]. Not hard to guess. The [Ember Sanctuaries] located across the Seven Seas actually have shadows of the [Truth Society]. This can''t help but make Shane feel a little ridiculous - In the future, the [Truth Society] will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, but they are one of the contributors to the [Ember Project] and have preserved the spark of civilization for mankind. But then I thought about it. Xia En also understood the reason why this happened. After all, people change, and so does an organization. The original [Truth Society] may indeed have had the original intention of leading people towards the truth. But as time goes by, their pursuit of truth gradually becomes distorted, forgetting that human beings are the foundation of civilization, and slowly evolves into the state of later generations. The reason why Jane quit the [Truth Society] was precisely because she noticed the deterioration of the [Truth Society]. one way or another. Looking at the research institute in front of him, Xia En''s view of the [Truth Society] also changed slightly. At least in this era, they don''t seem to be synonymous with madness and danger. at the same time. Shane still keeps in touch with Jane. Shane asked: "Jane, we have entered the underground research institute, where are you now?" Jane replied: "I heard from nearby researchers that the entire underground research institute seems to be divided into three areas." "Area A is the living area, while Areas B and C are areas for two different research projects." "We are now in the utility room in Area C." "I see." Xia En said: "Then you stay there and don''t move around. We will meet you there soon." And this time. On the other side of the passage, a researcher wearing a white coat walked towards him. Shane suddenly became nervous. After all, they know almost nothing about the internal situation of this institute, and it will be exposed with just a little interrogation. Fortunately, the researcher was just a little strange. "What are you doing standing here?" "Why don''t you bring the newcomers to Area A quickly?" Shane was a little embarrassed. Because he didn''t know which direction the area A mentioned by the researcher was. If you go wrong, it will arouse the other party''s suspicion. After thinking about it, Xia En simply said apologetically. "Actually... this is my first time inside the institute, so I''m not very familiar with it." "How do I get to Area A?" "ha?" The researcher looked surprised and asked. "Who is your boss?" "It''s the first time I''ve come to the institute, and I can trust you to act alone. It''s really unreasonable!" Xia En apologized in his heart, but still said: "My captain is Baker. He has other tasks, so he left first." "He said I could ask someone in the institute for directions." "Oh, it turns out to be that guy Baker..." Upon hearing this familiar name, the researcher''s expression obviously relaxed a lot, and any doubt he had before was gone. "It just so happens that Baker and I still have some friendship, so we won''t report it to the boss." "Well, I happen to be free now, so let me take you to Area A." Shane looked grateful. "That would be perfect." But at the same time, Xia En had a little doubt in his heart. Isnt Area A a living area? Why were the prisoners of the [People of Ice and Snow] taken there? Or, they are just temporarily placed in Area A until the time comes. Just sent to the laboratory? On the way to the living area, Xia En simply asked this question to the researcher in front of him. Unexpectedly, after hearing this question. The researcher immediately stared at Shane suspiciously. "Strange, why don''t you even know about this kind of thing?" "The [People of Ice and Snow] who were sent here were divided into two groups, one group are special volunteers, and the other group are imprisoned prisoners." "I remember that all [Black Flame Walkers] who are allowed to enter the research institute should know about this." "Could it be...you?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly stirred up waves. volunteer? prisoner? Two batches of [People of Ice and Snow]? From these few words, he had already gotten a glimpse of the truth. The situation in the underground research institute seemed to be very different from what Xia En expected. But it was obvious that his question also aroused the researcher''s suspicion. The most urgent task is to get through this current period. As a result, Xia En''s mind was spinning rapidly. He took out the wooden box containing tinder again and spoke in a low voice. "Actually, I am a special envoy sent by King Xin." "I''m here to eliminate a certain hidden danger in the institute. Please keep quiet." "special envoy?" The researcher was obviously frightened by this title. But when he thought about it carefully, he did realize that there were some discordant voices within the institute recently. on the other hand. The aura of fire is genuine. At least it proved that the stranger in front of him was indeed someone whom King Xin trusted. Strictly speaking, Shane did not lie. Didnt they just accept King Xins request and participate in this infiltration operation? It''s just that one is the salary king in the past and the other is the salary king in the future. And just then. The three of them have reached Area A of the institute. Suddenly, a girl''s voice sounded not far away. "Researcher Fite, what are you doing?" Feite''s thoughts were interrupted and he turned his head to say hello. "Oh, Miss Wan, it turns out to be you." "Why do you have time to go out for a walk?" Xia En turned around and looked, suddenly shocked. Because the girl who came from not far away was the girl he had met once before in Fanyan City and whom An Bing called his sister Xiaowan! According to An Bing, he was captured by [Black Flame Walker] and taken to the underground research institute. Since then, his whereabouts, life and death are unknown. But at this time. In Xia En''s eyes, the girl not far away had a ruddy complexion and a fresh breath. Not to mention there were any signs of abuse, but his cheeks were rounder. It looks fleshy. Xiaowan''s appearance seemed to completely overturn Xia En and An Bing''s previous speculations about this underground research institute. at the same time. Although An Bing was wearing a camouflage hood, he could not see Xiao Wan''s face. But after hearing that familiar voice, her delicate body couldn''t help but tremble. However, An Bing still suppressed the urge to take off his hood and listened quietly to the development of the situation. Xiaowan explained. "I just finished training a few newcomers and came out to relax." "...Huh?" Xiaowan looked at An Bing, who was wearing a hood, and felt a little familiar. But she didn''t pay too much attention and said instead. "A new person has arrived." "Follow me, I''ll take you to register." The researcher named Fite said to Shane. "This is Miss Wan, the younger sister of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and one of the directors of Area A of the institute." "Every [Ice and Snow People] who comes here must undergo his training before they can officially move in." director Training? Listening to these familiar words, Xia En felt a little strange inexplicably. Is this what a girl kidnapped here should do? "Okay, don''t be stunned." Xiaowan said generously: "Come with me." soon. Xia En and Feite parted ways and came to a door in the living area. Looking at Xia En who was still following behind, Xiaowan was a little surprised. "Why are you still here?" "The person has been delivered, you can do other things." Xia En said calmly: "What lesson are you going to teach her?" "I''m a little curious, can we go in and have a look together? Hearing this, Xiaowan''s expression was a little strange, but she still said it. "That''s not impossible. If you want to see it, then come in together." Unlike Feite before, Xiaowan never doubted Xia En''s identity at all. In her opinion, anyone who can enter the research institute is already one of her own. Go into the room and close the door. Xiaowan said to Xia En: "You can take off her hood." "Wearing this hood is mainly to prevent them from remembering the location of the institute." With that said, Xiaowan turned her head and looked at An Bing. "By the way, this tribesman..." "I haven''t asked you yet, what is your name? Have you seen me?" "I always feel that you look familiar..." Just then. An Bing took off his hood, and his black hair spread out as smoothly as flowing water. She raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her. "Xiaowan, long time no see." After seeing her face clearly, Xiaowan''s eyes suddenly opened wide. "Sister An Bing, you...you? How could it be you?" She had no idea that An Bing would leave the palace without anyone noticing, sneak into the underground research institute, and then appear in front of her. An Bing''s expression was extremely complicated, but also filled with a trace of happiness. She smiled: "Why, you don''t even dare to recognize me?" Then An Bing asked seriously again. "Xiaowan, can you tell me what happened after you were kidnapped?" "elder sister" Xiaowan showed struggle on her face, but finally she sighed and said. "The matter has come to this, I can''t hide it from you anymore." "At first, when I woke up and found that I was in this research institute, my first reaction was naturally to panic." "But after watching a video, I changed my view." "Sister, I think you should take a look too." With that said, Xiaowan turned on a device in the room. An image was projected on the wall opposite the room. in the image. A tall and straight figure walked towards him. That handsome face was none other than the Salary King that both Xia En and the two were extremely familiar with. King Xin looked over and said. "I''m sorry for bringing you here without notice." "But only by doing this can I trust and use your power." "I''ll just say it." "Now [Great Yan Country] and even the entire world are facing an unprecedented crisis." "A devastating flood sweeping the world is about to come." "And what I want to use is the secret power of ice and cold from you [people of ice and snow]." "I hope... you can cooperate with the researchers in the institute to conduct research on the secret power of ice." "Either store the ice-cold secret power, or develop a more efficient secret technique." Having said this, King Xin paused. "Of course, it''s up to you to decide whether to participate in the experiment or not." "I will not force you to conduct experiments." "It''s just...this matter is related to the survival of the entire world after all." "Since you already know this secret, you need to stay in the institute for a while." "When a certain contract secret technique stabilizes, I will let you go." King Xin looked a little ashamed. "I know, this kind of thing is a bit overwhelming." "Forcing you to be tied here is indeed not a glorious thing." "You can always blame me in your heart." "But I, King Xin, will never lie about this kind of thing." "For [Great Yan Kingdom] and for the sake of this world, I implore you... to help me!" As he spoke, the king of [Great Yan Kingdom] bent his waist that seemed to be always straight and spoke solemnly. "Please!" The whole video ends here. Xia En''s mood did not calm down for a long time. He felt King Xin''s sincerity from these words. Even if he is not a citizen of [Great Yan Kingdom], he can''t help but be touched by it. And for the people of the Great Yan Kingdom, this feeling will probably be even stronger. That is a request from the king of a country to them! It makes people have the urge to die for their confidants. After reading it, Xia En suddenly understood why Xiaowan became the director of the research institute to help King Xin persuade other clan members. Apparently, she had already decided to contribute to King Xin''s research. And every [people of ice and snow] brought here will have seen such images. After Xiaowan''s persuasion, many of them naturally changed their attitudes and chose to actively contribute to King Xin''s plan. This is what Fit meant by volunteer. Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little weird. possible This is what is called charisma, right? If it were another person, people might think this is alarmist and would not believe this statement. But it was Wang Xin who said these words, which made people feel extremely magnanimous. I am afraid it is precisely because of this that he can get the support of so many people. But soon, Shane thought about the prisoner Feit mentioned. What does that mean? Hear Shane''s question. Xiaowan said with a somewhat complicated expression. "Wang Xin also told us directly about the identities of those prisoners." "Actually, they are also members of our clan." "It''s just that they are die-hards in the family. [Dayan Kingdom] has quite a lot of malicious intentions. They even secretly destroyed towns in [Dayan Kingdom] and assassinated officials of [Dayan Kingdom]." "After these people were arrested, they were sent here." "It is said that the institute will conduct some special experiments on those who should be sentenced to death." (End of chapter) Chapter 374 [The sleeping bronze dragon! 】 Chapter 374 [The sleeping bronze dragon! Zheng Yu lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the smoke, looked at the smoke, and said: "His name is Zheng Liang, he is your eldest brother." "Huh?" Duanmu: "I''m not surprised that you have an illegitimate child. What does eldest brother mean?" Zheng Yu: "It means he is my eldest child, and his mother is my college classmate. I like her, and she likes me, but she is not helpful to me. The situation is similar to yours. I will give them a sum of money every year Money. Last year, his mother was seriously ill, and he begged me to see his mother for the last time, but I couldn''t, because at the critical moment, I couldn''t let anyone know that I had an illegitimate child, and I couldn''t let others know that I didn''t do my best. Fathers Responsibilities and Obligations. Zheng Yudao: "When you mentioned the Southeast Asian killer, I knew it was him. I called him and told him it was time to end, but he said it would not end unless I died." The air was quiet for a while, and Zheng Yu added: "He was arrested this morning. He has a best friend who grew up with him. He does smuggling business in these three countries and knows many people on the road. The best friend is now He is in South Korea and the police are hunting him down with all his strength. Gui Yi on the other side of the door looked at Cui Jian on the other side and whispered, "Why don''t we know these things?" Zheng Yu looked over: "I''m very sorry." Cui Jian said calmly: "It''s okay." Anyway, it wasn''t me who died. Duanmu raised his left arm: "The doctor took out three fragments from my arm. If one of them cut off my artery, would you say I''m sorry so easily?" Zheng Yu sighed: "Sorry kid, I need to control the influence." Duanmu said: "If you had told us the situation as soon as possible, so many people would not have died today. Let me guess why? Because you need to get rid of your illegitimate son quietly. No, no, you should be disposed of quietly. Theres this thing about Vietnamese illegitimate children. Cui Jian raised his eyebrows at Gui Yi: Look, big melon. Gui Yi stood up straighter. Duanmu: "Let me guess again, this person named Zheng Liang may go to jail for a few years, or he may not go to jail. After he comes out, he can change his name and still live a good life. As a bodyguard, he will die if he dies. No big deal." "No." Zheng Yu said: "An hour ago, the prison car fell off the cliff due to a brake failure during the escort." Duanmu: "You are so cruel." Cui Jian: One thing to say is, someone treats his son well, but you ridicule him. If someone kills his son, you think it''s cruel. What do you want? Zheng Yu said: "He didn''t kill me because I didn''t visit his mother. It was just an excuse. In fact, his mother respected me very much and asked him to understand me. His purpose is simple. After my death, he can Participating in the division of inheritance as an illegitimate child. He has consulted many lawyers on related legal issues and found a good attorney in the United States. Zheng Yu said: "I gave him 5 million US dollars last year, but it was still not enough. I was confused and asked someone to investigate and found out that now he not only gambles, but also smokes flour. He needs money, and he is no longer satisfied with 2 million dollars a year. dollars for living expenses. If you have any questions, just ask. Cui Jian raised his hand: "Duanmu, why do you only have 1 million yuan in living expenses every year?" Duanmu looked at Zheng Yu, then at Cui Jian, and said, "Gui Yi, take him out. Now!" Gui Yi reluctantly opened the door and pushed Cui Jian to leave: Why ask, there is nothing left to eat. The two left, and the atmosphere in the room was still awkward because of Cui Jian''s question. It took Zheng Yu a while before he said, "Vietnam has high consumption." Duanmu said hurriedly: "Yes, yes." He wanted to kill Cui Jian. According to Zheng Yu, Zheng Liang''s matter has been resolved, and now only Huang Zhuiling is left. The FBI has intervened in the investigation, but there has been no progress so far. Zheng Yu really can''t think of anyone who would offer a reward to him. Why did Zheng Liang know Zheng Yu''s whereabouts? It was a very simple bugging device disguised as a ring. Zheng Liang gave it to Zheng Yu in the name of his mother''s relic. Zheng Yu cherished it very much and always carried it with him. This was Xuemi''s mistake. She checked the hotel room, the villa, and the car, but she did not check Zheng Yu''s personal belongings. Early the next morning, Dayin Security sent three cars to drive Zheng Yu to check into the villa hotel again. Assistant Hans was waiting at the door of the villa. Assistant Hans went to Seoul in advance to meet with some people at Zheng Yu''s request, so he was not involved in the attack on the convoy. Duanmu has had a lot of contact with Hans in the past two days, and it was found that this person has a very strict reputation. It can also be seen that Hans is loyal to Zheng Yu, at least on the surface. Zheng Yu lives in villa No. 2, while the bodyguards and the remnants of Xuemi live in villas No. 1 and 3. The only change from before is that Cui Jian and the other three have become Zheng Yu''s personal bodyguards. Xuemi originally had eight personal bodyguards, four in a shift. Cui Jian''s trio is one person per team, and they only need to ensure that one personal bodyguard stays with Zheng Yu at all times. After two days of rest, a man named Yas from New York security arrived with his troops. The plan is that they will recuperate for a day, Xuemi will take over the headquarters after being discharged from the hospital, and head to Seoul again. Yas was in a group of 7 people, including men and women, black and white. Duanmu greeted them at the door of Villa No. 1 and was received by the remnants of Xuemi. Duanmu invited Yas to have breakfast with them in Villa No. 3. Duanmu introduced Cui Jian and Yas, and the three of them sat down. Yas brought the latest news from the FBI. Due to the previous three failed assassinations, Zheng Yu''s bounty in Huang''s order has increased to 3.6 million US dollars. But this is not the key. The key is that this matter has great influence in the circle. There is a vague situation that whoever can kill Zheng Yu will be the king of killers. Yasi let the two watch the discussion on the dark website that the FBI has been paying attention to. A netizen named Pirate Gun posted an article, provoking the red water ghost to make a bet with Zheng Yu''s life to settle the grudge between them. Yas introduced: "Pirate Gun is 42 years old. He was imprisoned for ten years and was released three months ago. He and Red Water Ghost are both Class A killers of Texas grizzly bears." Duanmu glanced at Cui Jian: Your old colleague. Cui Jian: I have nothing to say. Yasdao: "Pirate Gun and Red Water Ghost were partners. After the Grizzly Bear incident, Pirate Gun took all the charges and saved Red Water Ghost. After being released from prison, Pirate Gun discovered that Red Water Ghost was married to his girlfriend. And he also gave birth to a pair of children. Hong Shui Gui has been in business for many years, and he is willing to give 50% of his wealth to the pirate gun. Hong Shui Guis girlfriend also said that she fell in love with Hong Shui Gui. Duanmu said: "Is that it?" Yas pulled down, and there were a bunch of comments below. Someone mentioned the title of King of Killers. Then a new post came out, proposing an assassination contest targeting Huang Zhui Ling''s Zheng Yu. At this time, a netizen named Huang Zhuiling opened a post. He first proved that he was the person in charge of Huang Zhuiling''s website. Please pay attention to the latest notices from Huang Zhuiling''s website. Huang Zhui Ling''s website has updated the event, and a killer king will be selected every two years. The King of Killers will enjoy full remuneration. The website not only does not charge any commission, but also rebates 10% of the commission for each order. The first Killer King was created by hunting down Zheng Yu. Whoever kills Zheng Yu will be the king of killers. The original commission was 1 million, but after the killer completed the task, the website had to take away 300,000. After becoming the King of Killers, you can take away 1.1 million as long as you complete the commission. Yas introduced that Huang Zhui Ling was advertising for his website. Now the news about Huang Zhui Ling not only exists in the dark of the Internet, but also spilled over to the Internet. Many ordinary people are aware of the existence of Huang Zhui Ling, but most of them Some people think it is a joke and fake news. Yasi said: "We don''t know how many people have accepted Zheng Yu''s commission. I guess the situation is not optimistic." Cui Jian didn''t understand and asked: "If the US government takes action, what can they do if they also take away a website?" Yas said: "If the matter involves national security, I believe there will be a way. But the matter currently only exists at the criminal level, and ordinary police have no way." Yas cited a case that happened many years ago. The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and South Korea jointly took down one of the world''s largest children-related websites. How was the case solved? The first is to target a viewer, track the shrimp coins he uses, and find the dark server where the website is located. Then, by monitoring multiple websites on the server, we can find the flow of income funds. Then use both online and offline investigation methods to find the agent operator of the children''s website. The physical location of the website server was eventually found in South Korea, and the culprit was eventually caught. Law enforcement agencies share the information with every country in the world, and each country decides whether to arrest website users according to its own laws. Yas gave this example to illustrate that the cost of investigating the dark web is very high, which is completely disproportionate to the punishment received by criminals. If it weren''t for the fact that this was the largest website, it wouldn''t have attracted a multinational joint investigation. Compared with the websites that gave examples of cases, Huang Zhuiling had very little daily traffic, was very vigilant, and moved frequently, so the difficulty of investigation was doubled. Websites like this have back-ups. Once they are really found, they will destroy the back-end information, making it difficult to trace previous commission information. As professional killers, they would also come into contact with Huang Zhuiling through disguise, so it was unrealistic to find the killer and employer through Huang Zhuiling. Duanmu said to Yas: "Actually, you just need to answer that there is nothing you can do." Cui Jian nodded: "Well, I''m too lazy to hear the reason." Yas chuckled: "You guys are so funny." Cui Jian asked: "Yasi, are you and Xuemi the same group?" Duanmu looked at Yas and wanted to know the answer. Yasi said: "If you are talking about bodyguard work, the answer is yes. Xuemi and I are both deputy directors of the branch. As deputy director, I am responsible for security risk assessment, and Xuemi, who is also the deputy director, is responsible for the actual field work." What this sentence means is: She and I are not the same person. What I brought was field service, her people. I''m just a back-office worker with the title of deputy supervisor, so I led the team here. I am only responsible for risk assessment, not field work. Yas doesn''t like to beat around the bush, but there are some things he can''t say directly. He knew that Xuemi and Xuemi''s subordinates had a background, and he couldn''t talk nonsense without evidence. Even if there was evidence, he and Xuemi were still from the same company and would not tell others the details of Xuemi. Duanmu glanced at Cui Jian. It was obvious that Cui Jian had not turned around to digest the information. Duanmu asked: "What is your evaluation result of this project?" Yas: "It is very dangerous, not only for this project, but also for Zheng Yu himself. Even if Zheng Yu returns to China now, the safety factor will not be higher than if he stayed in South Korea. Foreigners with obvious characteristics like us , is very popular in South Korea, and lacks the advantages of location and connections. My suggestion is to apply for security protection and let the judicial department directly intervene to protect Zheng Yus safety. Duanmu said: "But Zheng Yu disagrees." Yas nodded: "Yes, although I don''t understand it, I respect it." Duanmu knew that the reason why Zheng Yu disagreed was because of Zheng Liang. American reporters are like hyenas. They will dig up news that the congressman is under judicial protection. They will dig out Zheng Liang easily. Zheng Yu''s behavior towards Zheng Liang''s mother and son will definitely be spurned by the public, and Zheng Yu''s political career will end. Cui Jian is used to asking questions: "So you can''t guess who the employer is who put Zheng Yu on the Huang Zhongwang reward list?" He no longer wants to hear any evidence. With the FBI launched, it seems that the suspect is not even a suspect. None were found. Duanmu asked Yas: "Are there no suspects?" Yas replied: "From the information I have obtained, no suspect has been found. We are currently studying the business practices related to Zheng Yu in the past ten years. From my perspective, the situation is not very optimistic." Cui Jian had another question: "Why was Zheng Yu not involved in such a large-scale firefight?" Duanmu answered this question: "Because Zheng Yu is a victim, as long as he does not agree, the police cannot leak his information. Journalists who leak victim information without permission are also legally responsible. Read the news headlines yourself: A Rich Man There were heavy casualties in the North Circle attack. Zheng Yu was indeed a rich man, and in theory, netizens were more interested in the North Circle. After breakfast, Yasi went to the hospital first. In addition to reporting to Xuemi, he also had to follow Xuemi''s work arrangements. Cui Jian and Duanmu stood in front of the villa and watched Yas leave. Cui Jian looked around and asked, "Aren''t you going to use resources yet?" "The FBI can''t find the suspect, do you think I can?" Duanmu smiled and said, "But I smell a conspiracy. If we can''t find out who would spend more than 3 million US dollars to assassinate Zheng Yu, Then there is only one reason to assassinate Zheng Yu. Cui Jian was puzzled. Duanmu said: "Pay attention to a few key words, Internet darkness, discussion, and spread to the Internet." Cui Jian was even more puzzled. Duanmu said helplessly: "Do you think Huang Zhuiling doesn''t have his own forum? Why do killers'' conversations appear on the FBI''s surveillance website? Why does Huang Zhuiling post website activities in the forum? Why does this kind of thing spread? To the Internet? Cui Jian realized: "I understand, it is indeed a conspiracy." Duanmu smiled and said: "Although I warned you, you are smart if you can figure it out." Cui Jiandao: "Zheng Yu''s political opponents hope that the Internet will use this to dig out Zheng Liang and ruin Zheng Yu''s political career." Duanmu''s forehead pulsed with veins. He looked at Cui Jian without words and said, "If that''s the case, then he contacted the reporter anonymously and told the reporter that Zheng Yu was attacked and that the mastermind behind the attack was his son. Do you think the reporter will dig out Zheng Yu?" Bright?" Cui Jian seemed to understand: "No one has broken the news so far." Duanmu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes." Continue. Cui Jiandao: "If someone really wants to harm Zheng Yu, he only needs to break the news." Duanmu nodded again and affirmed: "That''s right." Cui Jian clapped his hands: "I understand, the target is not Zheng Yu, but Xuemi." Duanmu looked at Cui Jian for three seconds, then silently took out a cigar and said, "Go and change your shift. Gui Yi also has to have breakfast." Cui Jian: "What do you mean?" Duanmu concentrated on burning his cigar without even looking at him. (End of chapter) Chapter 375 encounter! Infiltrated [Truth Society] m Chapter 375 Encounter! Infiltrated [Truth Society] members! Looking at the two [Ice and Snow People] disguised as guards in front of them. Xia En suddenly knew something was wrong. There are guards who have been subdued by the [Ice and Snow People], which means that more [Ice and Snow People] must have left their rooms and want to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the research institute. And at this time. This [Ice and Snow Citizen] obviously hasn''t figured out the situation yet, thinking that An Bing is here to rescue them, and is still talking. "Miss Wan has betrayed the family and become King Xin''s lackey." "She must have the key to escape from the institute." An Bing''s expression was extremely strange. "Why do you think I''m here to rescue you?" This [people of ice and snow] was extremely stunned. "Didn''t you send the secret message to the institute to inform us to prepare for today''s jailbreak?" "Secret message...me?" An Bing felt extremely surprised. She was certain that her past self had never written any secret letters sent to the institute. Not to mention, helping the [people of ice and snow] here escape from prison. After all, An Bing at that time, not to mention the specific location of this research institute, might not even know that King Xin secretly kidnapped the [People of Ice and Snow]. And Xia En noticed another key word in this man''s words - "prison Break?" Or with help? Obviously, this person belongs to the opposition among the "People of Ice and Snow" and uses this underground research institute as a prison to imprison them. Moreover, these rebels seemed to have expected it - Today someone will break into the underground research institute and devise a jailbreak plan. Wait until the invaders arrive. Both parties cooperated internally and externally to get out of this underground research institute. This discovery seems to have overturned Xia En''s previous speculation. If the intruders were the [Truth Society] of later generations, they would obviously not send secret messages to these [People of Ice and Snow]. That is to say This invasion and the rebellion of the [People of Ice and Snow] are most likely things that happened in real history. At this time. Xia En suddenly remembered King Xin''s unusual attitude towards An Bing in concealing the truth. Could it be that...it was precisely because this rebellion led to the tragedy that King Xin kept silent about it? Thinking of this, Xia En looked at Xiaowan aside, with a thoughtful look on his face. If they were not present, Xiaowan might have been captured by the rebels at this time. In the eyes of these [people of ice and snow], Xiaowan, who worked for King Xin, has undoubtedly become a traitor. It seems self-evident how she will be treated in the future. Perhaps this is the reason why Xiaowan''s whereabouts are completely unknown. This is the truth in history! Many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. And at this time. The rebel finally realized something was wrong with the situation. A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he reached out directly to grab Xiaowan who was closest to him. He wanted to use her as a hostage to make Xia En and the two of them take action. But at this time, Xiaowan was obviously wary. She just stepped back to avoid the man''s attack. Xiaowan fired out several ice edges with her backhand, landing accurately on the opponent''s hands and feet. His skin and flesh were cut open, and the wounds were deep enough to reveal the bones. The man was temporarily incapacitated. Xia En glanced at Xiaowan in surprise. This little girl looked harmless, but she was merciless in her attacks, which made Xia En see a bit of An Bing. All I can say is, are they worthy of being sisters? "Traitor! You traitors of the family..." Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the man''s eyes turned red and he roared angrily. "You, like those guys from [Great Yan Kingdom], have polluted the pure ice and snow." "You...are all going to hell!" Immediately afterwards. Xia En noticed an increasingly violent wave of secret power from him, and his expression changed slightly. "No, he''s going to blow himself up." Fortunately at this time. Dark Ice''s cold secret power was instantly activated. The cold chill enveloped this man''s body, and his entire body Even the restless secret power in his body froze in an instant. This prevented an explosion from happening. Xiaowan on the side couldn''t help but look at An Bing in surprise. "Sister An Bing, when did your power become so strong?" Of course Xiaowan didn''t know that the An Bing in front of her was not the An Bing she was familiar with. An Bing has been sleeping in that imitation [Eternal Coffin] for thousands of years. Naturally, his strength is not what it used to be, and he is only a hair away from becoming a legend. Although he was very powerless against the legendary strongman, he was still able to defeat such a little guy. Now is not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. After dealing with these two people, Xiaowan quickened her pace and walked towards the depths of the passage, saying at the same time. "Sister An Bing, follow me." I have to say, its exactly what Xiaowan said. The terrain within the institute is complex and not only divided into different areas, but each area is also layered. And at this time. The entire area A is in chaos. Although the broadcast told non-combatants to return to their rooms as soon as possible. However, many people are originally at work, and chaos can easily occur just on the way to evacuation. Not to mention. One after another, [People of Ice and Snow] left their rooms and attacked the guards in the passage. certainly. Not all [People of Ice and Snow] side with the rebels. On the way forward. Xia En saw some [Ice and Snow People] helping to guard against the rebels. However, it is precisely because of this situation that it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy among the [People of Ice and Snow]. It is difficult to tell whether the person next to you is a companion or an enemy. Making the situation become increasingly confusing. soon. Xiaowan met up with several real institute guards. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, An Bing has brought back the veil at this time. Therefore, the guard''s scrutinizing eyes just glanced at the two of them, then looked at Xiaowan again and said respectfully. "Director Wan, you are here." At this time, Xiaowan was not as gentle and amiable as she appeared in front of An Bing, but instead showed a bit of resolute temperament. She asked directly with a cold face. "How is the situation now?" The guard of the institute replied. "About one-third of the [Ice and Snow People] participated in the riot." "There are still some people who are hiding in their rooms and not coming out." "The rest are fighting alongside us." "Only a third?" Hearing this, Xiaowan couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It now appears that her persuasion and education during this period were quite effective. At least it made many [Ice and Snow People] put down their hostility towards King Xin. Even if he didn''t become their help, at least... he didn''t join the rebel side. No matter what, they are all Xiaowan''s tribe. If she didn''t have to, she wouldn''t want to fight with them. Suddenly, Xiaowan remembered something and asked. "Where did Director Shad go? Why didn''t he see anyone else?" The guard replied: "Director Shad has already led people to the central control room." "As long as all the valves in Area A are closed in the control room, the rebels will not be able to escape from Area A." After hearing this, Xiaowan''s expression changed. "What? Who did he go with?" The guard replied: "Besides him, there are three [Black Flame Walkers]." Xiaowan murmured: "Closing the passage in Area A clearly requires holding the identity credentials of two supervisors at the same time." "But why didn''t Shad notify me on the radio?" The guard was naturally confused and didn''t understand what Xiaowan meant. But An Bing on the side was keenly aware of something. "You mean?" "I thought it was strange before." Xiao Wan said: "At this time, the tribesmen should be locked in the room. Guess right, why was the ban on the door opened?" "Now that I think about it, I''m afraid the invaders are not just the [people of ice and snow]." The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it! Thinking of this, Xiaowan didn''t hesitate and rushed towards the central control room in Area A. Xia En and An Bing naturally followed closely. The central control room is not far away. But along the way. Xia En clearly felt that the level of chaos within the institute was increasing. Under the flashing red light. Traces of the battle can be seen almost everywhere. The walls and floors were full of pits, with depressions caused by huge force and the residual aura of secret power. Occasionally, you can still see a few pools of scarlet blood. In the corner, there was the corpse of an [Ice and Snow Citizen] or a guard lying. From time to time, gunshots and screams could be heard from the distant passage. There is no doubt that this was a real rebellion. In a corner unknown to Xia En and others, fierce battles and sacrifices are taking place every moment. This is true in the living area. In the experimental areas where precious experimental records are left, the situation will be even more tragic. only. What makes Xia En a little confused is What is the identity of the intruder? Although the invaders assumed the name of Dark Ice, it was obvious that they were probably not the real "People of Ice and Snow". The [people of ice and snow] who came to rescue this place probably just had a reason. Just to cause greater chaos so that they can take advantage of the chaos. After killing several more [People of Ice and Snow] blocking the way, Xia En and the others finally arrived at the door of the so-called central control room. But the ones guarding the door were not the guards inside the institute. But three [Black Flame Walkers] wearing black robes. As soon as she saw them, Xiaowan stepped forward and asked. "Where is Shad? Let him come to me." The three [Black Flame Walkers] looked at each other and walked up without saying a word. Their hostility was already shown in that silent movement. So Xia En also took a step forward, his body already in a state of combat readiness. And after seeing him. One of them couldn''t help but exclaimed. "Shane?" Xia En was also surprised and frowned suddenly. In this era, there is obviously no one who can directly call him by his name. That is to say. The [Black Flame Walker] in front of them is surprisingly an outsider who has sneaked into the [Great Flame] just like them! on the other hand. The other party''s voice was completely unfamiliar to Xia En. It means that he is not one of the ten people involved in the infiltration plan. Then, their identities will be clear at a glance Truth Society. Xia En also didn''t expect that he would discover members of the [Truth Society] in later generations in such an unexpected situation. But since he bumped into it, what he had to do was simple. The next moment. Xia En''s figure pulled out an afterimage in the narrow passage, right in front of the members of the [Truth Society]. The astonishing speed was like a flash of black light. Wait until everyone reacts. Shane had already locked the man''s throat. at the same time. An Bing didn''t hesitate at all and attacked the remaining two people. Unexpectedly. The combat power of these three [Black Flame Walkers] is actually extremely weak. Not to mention the seventh-level legend, it probably hasn''t even reached the fifth level. In front of Xia En and the two of them, they naturally had no ability to resist. Immediately, Shane took off the hood of the man who had exclaimed earlier. Under the hood, there was indeed an unfamiliar face. However, he is clearly in this desperate situation. There was still no fear on this man''s face, but only a hint of mockery. "Captain Xia En of [Black Swan], I didn''t expect to see you here." Xia En raised his eyebrows. "You [Truth Society] have indeed arrived in the [Great Flame]." "What is your purpose?" Faced with Xia En''s question, the man just chuckled. "Do you think I can tell?" "You can try any torture you can think of, even kill me here." "But in the end, you get nothing." Xia En suddenly frowned. There are indeed many people in the [Truth Society] who are willing to devote their lives to [the truth]. But not every member has such characteristics. It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. And the feeling this strange man gave Xia En was - Even if I kill him here, he won''t really die. At this time. Xia En''s [Peeping Eyes] suddenly reacted. [The projection of members of the "Truth Society" in Dayan''s memory. [Erasing this physical body cannot truly kill him in reality. Seeing these words, Xia En suddenly realized. Unlike the action members like them who directly use their bodies to enter the [Great Flame], the people of the [Truth Society] took another approach. That is... Their thoughts and wills were directly projected onto the characters created by the memory of [Great Flame]. Just like the third apostle in the promotion ritual of [Pirate Principality] - Tiffany. It was her replacement by a later descendant of the [Truth Society] that opened the door for the [Truth Society] to go to the promotion ritual. To put it simply and straightforwardly. Shane and others are "wearing." The [Truth Society] members are just "soul-piercing." Moreover, even if this body dies, it will not affect their body. This is why this man dared to say such things. Likewise. I''m afraid it''s for this reason. Only the [Truth Society] can ignore the quota limit of the so-called [Great Flame]. Quietly replacing these [Black Flame Walker] researchers with their own people to achieve some unknown purpose of their own. It can be seen from this that the [Truth Society] indeed has extremely profound attainments in the fields of soul, thinking, and memory. Unfortunately, they did not use this technology in the right place. While Shane was interrogating this man. Xiaowan walked to the door of the control room. (End of chapter) Chapter 376 Cooperation across time Chapter 376 Cooperation across time at this time Xiaowan took out her ID card and swiped it on a device at the door. However, the door that should have been opened remained closed. Obviously, this door has been locked in a special way from the inside. "Director Shad, you''re in there, right?" Xiaowan asked in a deep voice. But there was no response from the other side of the door. Seeing this, Xia En stepped forward and prepared to use violence to open the door. But at this time, Xiaowan stopped him. "The door to the central room has unique restrictions. Forcibly opening it may cause the control system to lock itself." This design was originally designed to prevent foreign enemies from forcibly breaking in. However, the designer obviously did not expect that there would be a hidden traitor among the supervisors of Area A. At this time. Shad in the room seemed to finally hear the movement outside the door. He sneered: "Director Wan, you are finally here." "However, you are already too late. I have already activated the self-locking program in the central room, plus this wall is enough to resist the attack of the legendary strong man." "It''s absolutely impossible for you to break in from outside the room." "Now, as long as I crack the permissions of the control system, I can open the passage to the restricted area of ??the research institute." Shad''s tone was full of pride: "At that time, whether it is the bronze dragon or King Xin''s research results so far." "Everything will be in our pocket!" "But you can only watch this scene happen." Bronze dragon. Research results. Upon hearing these words, Xia En''s mind whirled. He suddenly noticed something strange that he had ignored before. If this Director Shad was also a member of the later [Truth Society], then he would never have said such a thing. Because, everything inside [Great Flame] is something that has disappeared in the past. That bronze dragon is just an afterimage that exists in the past. People from the [Truth Society] cannot bring it into reality no matter how hard they try. The fact that Shad would say this means that he is actually part of this memory scene. And they are not members of the [Truth Society] who have infiltrated this place. But he happened to mention the purpose of seizing research results, and also reached cooperation with later members of the [Truth Society]. So, his identity is actually very clear This Director Shad is a member of the [Truth Society] in history! In this way, it exactly corresponds to Xia En''s previous speculation. This invasion of the institute was indeed an event that occurred in real history. And its initiator is none other than the [Truth Society] of this era! In other words, they are the subordinates of the [Omniscient Sage]. After all, in this era, the name "Truth Society" may not have been born yet. Its not difficult to know from Shads mouth. The purpose of their coming here was the research results of King Xin and the bronze dragon that was sleeping underground. The [Truth Society] of later generations used these past colleagues to put their consciousness into the [Great Flame], thus achieving an unprecedented situation - Members of the [Truth Society] in the past and future cooperate with each other to achieve their respective goals. This kind of thing sounds a bit outrageous even to Xia En. I have to say. The members of the [Truth Society] are indeed a group of geniuses. However, there is always a thin line between genius and madness. Moreover, the destructive power that a genius without moral constraints can cause is far greater than that of a mediocre person. However, there was one more thing that Xia En didn''t want to understand. This research institute was clearly built through the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society]. In theory. The [Truth Society] should know the research results of the institute, so why go to such trouble to rob them? At this time, Xiaowan also had similar doubts. she questioned. "Director Shad, why did you do this?" "For such a long time, King Xin has treated you well, right? Why did you betray him?" In response, Sade just sneered. "If he is willing to hand over the final research results to us honestly, then of course we don''t need to start this rebellion." "But... the real treacherous person is the salary king you call him!" "It was clearly agreed at the beginning that the results of the institute would be shared, but in the end, they took precautions against us." "He even replaced the core project researchers with his own confidants, but I was transferred to this living area to be this unknown supervisor." "And now, we''re just taking back what''s ours." After hearing these words, Xiaowan couldn''t help but look surprised. "How could..." "There must be some misunderstanding!" "It doesn''t matter, it doesn''t matter anymore." Shad sneered. "Just wait outside for everything to settle." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but frown. Honestly. He didn''t particularly care about whether Shad could take away the so-called research results. after all. Even Shad himself is just an afterimage created by the memory of [Great Flame]. What if the [Truth Society] in this memory successfully obtained the research results? Maybe, something like this has happened in real history. What really made Xia En wary. What is the purpose of these members of the [Truth Society] who have infiltrated into the [Great Flame]? Could it be related to the research results mentioned by Shad? One more thing. Where is the [Great Flame] node that Xia En and others are looking for located in this underground research institute? Suddenly, Xia En suddenly remembered the restricted area of ??the research institute mentioned by Shad. Perhaps the answers he was looking for were all there. However, even if Xia En wanted to go to the restricted area of ??the institute, he couldn''t just watch the members of the [Truth Society] get there first. You must take the initiative in the entire matter into your own hands. But now. The gate did seem to be blocking them. At this time, the captured man on the side also taunted. "Captain Shane, stop resisting in vain." "You can''t stop us." "Yeah?" Just then, a familiar voice sounded. An elegant old woman wearing a black gauze skirt appeared in the corridor at some point. And the moment I saw him. The members of the [Truth Society] who had previously shown disdain suddenly changed their expressions. A flash of fear flashed deep in his eyes. So much so that his voice trembled a little. "Mrs. Serenity..." The visitor was naturally Jane, whom Xia En was familiar with. Carles, who was made of machinery and wore brass armor, was behind Jane. Red light flashed under her nails, and white steam released from the joints. The appearance of such a strange pair of combinations clearly creates a sense of oppression in this underground passage. Xiao Wan on the side couldn''t help but change her face slightly. In response, Xia En''s face showed a hint of joy. "Jane, Carles, are you here?" Apparently, after a rebellion broke out within the institute. Jane and Carles did not stay there stupidly, but took advantage of the chaos and came to Xia En and the others with the help of their perception of the [Thread of Destiny]. "Captain Shane. After nodding gracefully to Xia En, Jane looked at the man who just named her identity code, with a little surprise in her eyes. "You actually recognize me." "This is not uncommon among the new generation of [Truth Society] members." Compared with when facing Xia En, the attitude of the captured man was obviously much more humble. This humility comes from the fear of Jane''s past deeds. He lowered his head and said: "I have read a few of your works by chance, madam." I was really shocked by the concepts and perspectives. I didnt expect to see you here. "No need for compliments." The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it! Jian said calmly: "My articles are considered deviant within the [Truth Society], and not many people are interested in them." "Compared to this..." With that said, Jane looked at the closed metal door on the side. "Captain Shane, do you want to open this door?" Shane nodded and said, "Yes." "Then leave it to me." After saying that, Jane took out a prism-like instrument. His slender fingertips tapped on it quickly, as if he was inputting some instructions. immediately. A waterfall of codes and numbers washed past the prism. Finally, Jane gave it another gentle tap. There was a "di" sound. "Dear administrator, please come in." Along with the prompt sound, the precision mechanical door opened. The scene inside the central control room was exposed to everyone. Supervisor Shad, who looks like a skinny monkey, was working on a crack in front of the operating table, with nervous excitement on his face. But this time. The door to the room suddenly opened, causing his body to freeze. A look of disbelief immediately appeared on Shad''s face. "How is that possible?" "This door has obviously implemented a self-locking program. How did you open it?" Jane''s expression was normal. "Since it is a program, there will be loopholes that can be cracked." "Furthermore, it seems that the procedures of the old era are not much more advanced than those of the new era." Sometimes, the simpler and older the mechanism, the more reliable it is. For Jane, this kind of program-controlled door is full of loopholes. But if it was really just an ordinary iron door, Xia En would have used violence to break into it. At this time. Xia En didn''t care what Shad''s reaction was, he flashed and came directly in front of him. Shad was just a research member, and his combat power was very weak. Naturally, he was subdued by Xia En without any resistance. Then, Jane looked at the console in front of her. I have to say. The console itself is very much in the style of the [Truth Society]. The huge screen, silver-gray desktop and metallic buttons give people the feeling of being on a science fiction film set. at this time. The cracking progress on the screen has reached 90%, which shows that Xia En and others arrived in time. If it had been a little later, I''m afraid it would have been like what Shad said, with members of the [Truth Society] taking the lead in breaking into the restricted area of ??the institute. After stopping the cracking progress, Jane turned around and asked. "Captain Shane, what should we do now?" Hearing this, Xia En first looked at Xiaowan who was not far away. At this time, Xiaowan obviously had not recovered from the series of changes. And because of the special looks of Jane and Carles, as well as the unfamiliar terms they mentioned. The girl''s expression was obviously a bit wary and uneasy. Fortunately, An Bing was by his side, allowing her to relax a little. "Don''t be afraid, Xiaowan." "They are my companions." An Bing said softly: "As for why we are here, the reasons behind it are too complicated and cannot be explained for a while." "But one thing you can be sure of is that I will always be on your side." "Now, I hope you can help us go to the so-called forbidden research area." "There''s one thing we have to get." Xiaowan was not an indecisive person, so she nodded quickly after thinking for a moment. "Okay, I understand." "But before that, I want to block the exit of Area A. Please wait for a moment." During the communication between An Bing and Xiaowan. Xia En looked at the three [Truth Society] members who were captured not far away. "Captain Xia En, what are you going to do with them?" Jian Fa asked. "Ms. Jane, actually they..." Xia Enyan briefly and comprehensively explained the situation of these [Truth Society] members to the prosecutor, as well as his speculations. After listening, a little surprise appeared on Jane''s usually calm face. "A projection of consciousness and thinking?" I didnt expect that the [Truth Societys] research in this field has reached such a level. Immediately, Jane couldn''t help but frown and analyzed. "Since this rebellion was originally started by the [Truth Society] in history, the number of people they infiltrated would probably be extremely exaggerated." "Perhaps someone has already gone to the so-called restricted area from other areas." Each of the three areas of ABC has its own central control room. Obviously, there is more than one way to the restricted area. Xia En also realized this possibility, his expression was a little solemn, and he felt a sense of urgency in his heart. soon. Jane also asked the same question as him. "We came to the underground research institute to eliminate the node of [Great Flame], so what is the purpose of [Truth Society]?" Jane looked at the captured man with a thoughtful look on his face. The man lowered his head, but still refused to answer the question. Moreover, because they are only consciousness projections, ordinary torture is obviously ineffective against them. Jane murmured. "However, even if they are projections of thinking, there must be some connection between them and the soul of the original body." "It''s like the [Thread of Destiny] will be equally entangled in their souls, and will not change due to the original body and the clone." "...Like [Thread of Destiny]?" After hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. Yes, even if it is just a projection of consciousness, there must be a connection with their souls. It''s like Xia En''s [Projection Body] is also a part of him. Just find that connection. It can fundamentally cause harm to their souls. It just so happens that Xia En has the [Peeping Eye] that can see through this connection. Thinking of this, Xia En didn''t hesitate, and looked at the man with a faint light in his eyes. (End of chapter) Chapter 377 [Re-engraved Great Flame] and [Eternal C Chapter 377 [Re-engraved Great Flame] and [Eternal Coffin] In an instant. Shane''s vision was flooded by a sea of ??points and lines. With the experience of opening the [Peeping Eye of Secrets] vision several times before. He was already somewhat familiar with this scene. Now, what Xia En has to do is to find the connection between this member of the [Truth Society] and his body among the chaotic dots and lines. Shane first eliminated the threads wrapped around his body. Those points and lines are just the key points of this consciousness projection. Even if it is destroyed, it will not affect him in reality. As if aware of the target requirements that Xia En was looking for, [Peeping Eyes of Secrets] began to clear away the redundant lines one by one. The entire field of vision suddenly became much emptier. Those things hidden under the complicated threads soon appeared clearly before Xia En''s eyes. Just a moment. Xia En found a few particularly obvious threads leading to the outside world. That''s when Xia En''s eyes fell on these lines. The man from the [Truth Society] was vaguely aware of it, and a strong ominous premonition suddenly arose deep in his heart. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia En, saying with a mixture of shock and anger. "You...what did you do to me?" Shane glanced at him unexpectedly. "Huh? Did you actually feel it?" It seems that this man has a very keen sense of danger. But it just so happened that only when he sensed danger would he feel fear and honestly tell Xia En what he wanted to know. Thoughts were swirling in Xia En''s mind, his face remained calm, and he laughed. "It seems that you have noticed it." "Even if this is just a projection, I can still use it to directly destroy your soul." Hearing this, the man who had previously acted indifferent to his own life and death, letting Xia En do whatever he wanted, couldn''t help but change his expression. He said with a sharp look and an internal expression. "impossible." "[Butterfly Dream] is an absolutely safe dream technology." "No matter what you do, you can''t hurt my body." Butterfly Dream. Dream technology. These two words made Xia En suddenly wake up. He had previously wondered how members of the [Truth Society] projected their consciousness into the [Great Flame]. Now that I hear it, the answer is undoubtedly clear. That is... Dreamland! In [Seven Seas World], there is such a legend - This world itself is just the dream of an unimaginably large butterfly. And when someone dreams of this butterfly, it wakes up from its sleep. The whole world will burst and disappear like a bubble. Of course, this is just a legend. But it has some subtle similarities with the "Zhuang Sheng''s Dream Butterfly" that Xia En knew. The name [Butterfly Dream] probably comes from this reason. Obviously, the [Truth Society]s infiltration relied on this so-called dream technology. Bring a person''s subconscious mind in a dream into [Da Yan]''s body. At this time, their bodies are undoubtedly in sleep. Even if they were fatally injured in the dream, they would just wake up from the dream. That''s why he said that this is an absolutely safe dream technology. However, Xia En''s [Peeping Eyes of Secrets] won''t care about what you do. As long as he finds the key thread leading to their souls, he can cause real harm to them. at the same time. Jane on the side also noticed the glint in Xia En''s eyes. There was a little surprise in his expression. Even she may not necessarily assert that she can cause real harm to members of the [Truth Society] who are in the [Butterfly Dream] state. However, Jane had a feeling that Xia En''s eyes seemed to be able to do this. There seemed to be some kind of regular power hidden in those eyes. Before entering [Great Flame], Captain Xia En seemed not to be able to master this power. In such a short period of time, Captain Shane actually made another breakthrough? However, this was the critical moment, and Jane did not ask Xia En. The time to speak. Shane did not stop searching for that crucial line. With the stimulation of secret power. There was a slight sting in Xia En''s eyes. Obviously, opening such a field of vision for a long time will bring a lot of burden to the [Peeping Eye of Secrets]. Fortunately, at this time, the remaining interfering line segments were finally eliminated by Xia En. Xia En''s eyes fell on one of the lines emitting white light. It is different from other lines. This line gives a feeling of being "alive" and has a different aura to the man. That probably comes from his body. "Found you!" Xia En''s eyes lit up, and he tapped the invisible line with his big hand. "ah!" The "thread" that held his soul was being fiddled with, and the man couldn''t help but let out a cry of pain, and looked at Xia En with more and more fear. He murmured in disbelief. "You actually really..." Xia En said calmly: "Now, you should believe that I do have the ability to kill you, right?" "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to [Great Yan]?" At this time, the [Truth Society] man finally began to show struggle on his face. They relied on the [Butterfly Dream] technology before. Even if he is caught by the enemy, his life will not be in danger. But at this time, Xia En''s appearance undoubtedly broke their cognition and completely threatened their names. The three of them had to choose between their lives and keeping the secret. If they are the core members of the [Truth Society]. For example, those in the top 100 of truth numbers may choose the latter. But after all, the three of them are just ordinary members of the [Truth Society]. Naturally, it is difficult for them to regard death as home and sacrifice their lives for the organization. Just then. Another member of the [Truth Society] suddenly burst out with an aura of secret power. But this secret power was not used to attack Xia En and others, but directly stabbed his own throat. His purpose is clear. That is to commit suicide before Shane kills him. As long as they can wake up from this dream, they will naturally survive. However, his actions obviously couldn''t be hidden from Jane, who had been staring at them closely. Jane stretched out her hand gently. The mysterious power disappeared invisibly, and even the aftermath no longer existed. "Want to commit suicide early and return to reality?" A coldness flashed across Jane''s face: "Not a bad idea." "It''s just that you can''t even commit suicide in front of me." These words completely plunged the three of them into despair. The last remaining person hesitated for a moment and asked. "If we tell you, will you let us go back alive?" Jane replied. "Of course, I guarantee it in the name of my [Mrs. Jingjing]." After hearing this, the faces of the three people showed some relief. The man who was captured first sighed: "In that case, I will tell you." "Actually, there are two tasks ordered from above." "One is to assist former members of the [Truth Society] to open the passage to the restricted area." "There are already other combat members waiting near the passage. As long as the passage is opened, they can enter it as soon as possible." "The other thing is to collect as much information and data as possible within the institute." The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it! "Collect information?" Xia En frowned slightly: "What kind of information is collected specifically?" Now that the man had made the beginning, he no longer had any psychological burden when explaining later, so he simply spoke in one breath. "For example, the topographic map inside this institute and the materials used to construct the research." "There is also information about some well-known researchers and powerful people within the institute." "This is" After listening, Xia En not only did not understand the intention of the [Truth Society], but became even more confused. Because this kind of thing is simply like some kind of weird archaeological behavior. It''s like something done by an archaeologist who is very interested in history. Not to mention whether there is such a person in the [Truth Society], who went to great lengths to come to the [Great Flame] without telling the federal military, just to conduct archaeological research. Its weird no matter how you think about it, right? But soon, Xia En remembered something. The original [Undertaker] [Observer], Edward, Joey''s father, had done similar things! They went to the [Promotion Ritual] in the secret sea to collect information about [Pirate King] Augustine. Moreover, such instances have happened more than once. These two things look extremely similar. And Xia En already knows that a plan of the [Truth Society] in recent years is to use a machine called [Truth] to reproduce the most amazing geniuses who have existed in various eras in history. So, could they have a similar purpose in collecting information inside [Great Yan]? Now that there are ready-made prisoners in front of us. Xia En simply asked his question directly. The man was stunned for a moment: "I didn''t expect that you even knew about that plan." "Although the superiors didn''t say it clearly, we all guessed..." "Their true purpose may be to try to recreate the [Great Yan Kingdom] in history." "What?" At some point, An Bing came to them. After hearing these words, An Bing couldn''t help but screamed in surprise. "What does this mean?" The man glanced at her, but he didn''t know the identity of this strange woman, so he just continued. "It is...to create a space that is almost exactly the same as the [Great Yan Kingdom] in the past." "All people and things will be the same as they were in history." "You can think of it as a real version of [Great Yan Kingdom]. You can even live there until the end of time without worrying about being destroyed by [Great Yan]''s awakening." "Recreate a [Great Yan Kingdom]..." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but show a little shock. This purpose can only be described as incredible. But Xia En somehow felt that the [Truth Society] did have such ability. Moreover, the current Great Flame provided them with extremely precious and realistic first-hand information. As long as we copy [Great Yan]''s memories one by one, maybe... we can really do this? But here''s the thing. [Truth Society] Why do you do this? It is impossible that there are still old people who have never forgotten the [Great Yan Kingdom] at the top of the [Truth Society], right? Xia En had a vague feeling. Collecting information about [Great Flame] is only an incidental goal of [Truth Society]. Their real purpose is still to seize something within the restricted area of ??the institute. It''s just because the levels of these three [Truth Society] members are too low that they didn''t know. only. For An Bing on the side, recreating the [Great Yan Kingdom] in his memory has extraordinary significance. Those people she once valued, including Xiaowan in front of her, will truly appear in front of her. It''s not just a dream that can wake up at any time. Therefore, after hearing these words, her expression changed several times and she fell into thinking. Xia En glanced at her slightly worriedly, but continued to ask the three people about some details of the [Truth Society]''s operation, and learned that- [Truth Society] members have visited the royal palace in Fanyan City once before. But before he could do anything, King Xin discovered him and forcibly expelled him from the memory scene where the palace was located. This is undoubtedly connected with Xia En''s previous experience. at last. Xia En asked again: "Do you really not know what the [Truth Society] wants to seize?" "You should know what will happen if you don''t tell the truth." Jian Zheng on the side was watching them faintly, with runes appearing in his eyes, obviously opening up the secret technique of distinguishing truth from lies. Seeing this, the man paused and said. "We really don''t know the specific purpose." "But I''ve heard a name mentioned by my superiors..." Shane asked: "What is it?" "[Eternal Coffin]." The moment he heard the name, Xia En''s expression suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at An Bing not far away. Not long ago, An Bing woke up from the imitation [Eternal Coffin]. And since there is a replica of the [Eternal Coffin], it means that King Xin must have researched its true form. Then, its body may be hidden inside this research institute. But. Why is [Eternal Coffin] connected with [Truth Society] again? -In Xia En''s knowledge, the imitation [Eternal Coffin] seems to only have the ability to make others sleep for thousands of years without the body decaying. Although this ability is rare, people from the [Truth Society] should not take it so seriously. Could it be said. Is there some secret hidden in the original [Eternal Coffin] that he doesn''t know about? At this time, Xiaowan walked over. "Sister An Bing, Mr. Xia En, I have finished handling it." "Now we can leave for the restricted area." Shane nodded: "I understand." Then, he looked at Jane beside him with questioning eyes. "Ms. Jane, what should we do with the three of them?" Jane said calmly: "Kill them all." Hearing this, the three of them immediately opened their eyes in shock. "Mrs. Serenity? You!" Jian said calmly: "Now I am no longer Mrs. Jingjing." "This name naturally cannot restrain me." "Besides, as an enemy, I will not let you bring my news back to the [Truth Society]." "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself." Xia En glanced at Jane in surprise. Obviously, Jane is not a pedantic person. She also has her own flexible way of dealing with enemies. Therefore, Xia En did not hesitate and directly used the [Peeping Eyes] to kill the three of them completely, and then followed Xiao Wan towards the restricted area of ??the research institute. (End of chapter) Chapter 378 【Taboo experiment】 Chapter 378 [Taboo Experiment] With Xiaowan, the supervisor, leading the way, Xia En and others avoided many detours. It didn''t take long. They came to the deepest wall in Area A. But here, Xia En didn''t see other people from the [Truth Society]. Thinking about it, after discovering that the channel has not been opened for a long time. They also realized that there was some deviation in the action plan of Area A. So, go to other areas to continue the action. This discovery did not make Xia En feel much relieved. Compared with the enemies who appeared directly in the light, the shadows hiding in the dark made him feel more at ease. Moreover, this also proved Xia Ens previous guess from the side - There are definitely more than one group of [Truth Society] members who have infiltrated the research institute. Perhaps, at this time, they have entered the restricted area of ??the institute from other areas. It seems that they can see the urgency of Xia En and others. After arriving at this wall, Xiaowan didn''t hesitate at all. She took out her and Shad''s identity documents and lightly pressed them somewhere on the wall. "laugh-" Accompanied by the sound of steam releasing pressure. Precision gears and levers are constantly at work. The originally tight walls opened to both sides. A passage leading deeper underground suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The dark entrance is like the mouth of a monster, seeming to devour everyone who comes. at the same time. A biting chill surged out of the passage, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees. Xiaowan said: "This is the restricted area of ??the research institute." "However, even I only entered the restricted area once before it was fully built." "Now that so much time has passed, the terrain in the restricted area must have changed a lot." "It is more likely that there will be unforeseen dangers." Xiaowan looked at Xia En and others seriously. "Honestly, there''s a very strong defensive presence inside the penalty area." "I don''t think those intruders can successfully reach the deepest part of the restricted area and take what they want." "Let me confirm again, do you really want to enter the restricted area?" Xia En nodded without any hesitation. "Yes, there are reasons why we have to do this." "Oh well." Xiaowan sighed softly, knowing that she could not dissuade Xia En and his party, so she simply said. "Then let us go together." "As for what I know about the restricted area, we''ll talk as we go." Subsequently. Xia En and his group walked towards the depths of the passage. On the way, Xia En asked: "What exactly is inside this restricted area?" Xiaowan answered. "I have said before that those of us [people of ice and snow] who voluntarily cooperate with the experiment are conducting less dangerous research." "Sometimes it even just requires regular blood draws and the delivery of ice-cold secret power." "However, for those prisoners who have committed capital crimes, the intensity of the experiment will be greatly increased." There are even some forms of experimentation that are considered taboo. Xiaowan hesitated for a moment and then said. "For example...inject the blood of the bronze dragon into the body of the [people of ice and snow]." "Thereby creating an existence that possesses the secret power of ice and masters the laws of time and space." "Another example is the use of special drugs to stimulate the blood vessels in the [people of ice and snow], allowing them to achieve a certain sense of return to their ancestors, thereby mastering the more original laws of ice and cold." Hearing these words, An Bing''s expression changed slightly. But he didn''t interrupt. Xiaowan said: "Of course, the failure rate of such a radical experiment is horribly high, so many failed experimental subjects were born." "Some of these experimental subjects have lost normal human thinking and reason, and have turned into monsters who only know **** and destroy." "But even so, their existence itself is of great help to the institute''s research." "So, the experiment failed." "But King Xin did not kill these failed experimental subjects immediately. Instead, he imprisoned them in the deepest restricted area and observed their status regularly." "Use this to optimize the direction of the next experiment." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized. Behind any research, there are bound to be countless failures. Only by learning from these failures can we find the path to success. The failed products imprisoned in the restricted area are undoubtedly part of this path. Moreover, although they are failures, it does not mean that they are weak. Quite the opposite. After undergoing forbidden experiments, their strength may far exceed that of their former selves. Especially those beings who have been injected with bronze dragon blood are likely to have some abilities beyond common sense. Even if the price is losing one''s sanity as a human being. Not to mention. In this underground icy environment, it is equivalent to the training holy land of [Ice and Snow People]. Staying here for a long time will make their total secret power grow greatly. This is the source of danger in Xiaowan''s words. Xiaowan continued. "Moreover, there are some special [Ice and Snow People] imprisoned in the restricted area." "They are the elders with advanced realms in the clan, and they are also excellent experimental materials." "Because they are much stronger than ordinary prisoners, they are also concentrated in the depths of the restricted area." After hearing these words, Xia En roughly understood the significance of the restricted area to the institute. If we say, the entire institute is equivalent to a huge prison. Then, the restricted area is probably a "sky prison" type of existence. The most dangerous and vicious prisoners and experimental subjects are all imprisoned here. So, Xia En asked again. "Since these beings are imprisoned, are there any protective measures in place in the restricted area?" "Of course there are." Xiaowan replied decisively. "Each experimental subject is equipped with a device that extracts their secret power at all times, ensuring that they are always in a weak state." "There are also automatic sensor micro-bombs tied to their vital parts. They will detonate directly as soon as they leave their cells." "Moreover, there are two legendary strong men on standby inside the penalty area." "They are also the last and most reliable defense force in this institute." These words made Xia En feel a lot more at ease. Think about it too. Since it is a place where the most dangerous prisoners are held, the most stringent protective measures are naturally in place. King Xin probably had this in mind when he designed this area. But that''s it. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from deep in the passage. Xia En''s expression suddenly changed slightly, and the group of people quickly walked down and soon reached the end of the passage. It was different from the warning red light flashing above. The lights in the restricted area are monotonous silver-gray, like eternal ice. It seems like it will never change. While being cool. It also gives people a dead atmosphere. For the prisoners here. This kind of light will only intensify the despair in their hearts. Not only that, the temperature here is significantly colder than other areas of the institute. There was even a thin layer of ice on the metal wall. The air exhaled by Xia En and others also turned into clouds of white gas. The body temperature should already be around zero. This is partly due to the environment of this area. On the other hand, its because The prisoners imprisoned here contain a large amount of icy secret power. Just a little bit of escaping is enough to make it so cold here. Soon, Xia En looked towards the direction where the muffled sound came from. I saw a cell not far away, and the door of the cell was open. A cold corpse fell in front of the door. The whole head shattered like a watermelon. Red and white things were scattered on the ground, and they had gradually frozen at low temperatures. It''s obvious. 69BookBar This man wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the cage, but neglected the lethal device around his neck, which was how he ended up in this situation. only After Xia En glanced at the corpse, he couldn''t help but narrow his eyes. He discovered that there was a thin layer of scales growing on this person''s body, and his blood was a faint azure color. It is not difficult to guess that this person is the failed experiment in Xiaowan''s mouth. While Shane was observing the body. Xiaowan looked at the open cell door and couldn''t help but look puzzled. "Strange...why is this door open?" "In emergency martial law situations, the doors of restricted areas should be locked." Jane next to her frowned and said after examining it for a moment. "The door here shows signs of being remotely cracked." Maybe the [Truth Society] people want to release all these prisoners in order to create chaos, right? Hearing this, Xia En immediately became vigilant. "[The Truth Society] has broken into the restricted area?" Jane replied: "It should be." "It''s just that the situation with this door is more like the central control program has been modified." "As a result, the doors of all the cells in the restricted area were opened, and some prisoners may have escaped." Although King Xin also set up other preventive measures, such as bombs on the necks of the prisoners. However, for some experimental subjects who were injected with dragon blood and transformed their bodies. Such a device may not kill them outright. Coupled with their own self-healing ability, it may really be possible to escape. "roar!!" As if to prove Xia En''s conjecture, a roar suddenly came from the shadows in the distance. Immediately, a blood-red figure with ice-blue color rushed towards Dark Ice at the end of the crowd like an arrow from a string. At this time, An Bing was still a little distracted because of the words of the [Truth Society] members. When he heard the roar, his reaction was unexpectedly slow. She quickly raised her hand, trying to freeze the figure in front of her. But what surprised An Bing. When his all-conquering icy secret power landed on this figure, it actually did not freeze it into an ice sculpture. But it just makes its movement stagnate slightly. "What?" A flash of astonishment flashed across An Bing''s face, and he quickly changed his moves. But at this moment, the blood shadow was already rushing towards her face. clang! At this critical moment, Carles took a step forward. The arm made of steel was placed in front of the opponent, tightly blocking its closed mouth. Only then did everyone see clearly. What attacked them was a half-wolf, half-dragon monster. Its upper body resembles the "West Wind Frost Wolf" on the "West Wind Plateau". The huge wolf head, sharp teeth, and pointed horns on the head are very obvious features. But its lower body looked like a strange snake covered with scales. Not only does it have ferocious edges and corners, its tail is also constantly slapping the ground. It looks extremely weird and has an indescribable sense of violation. It''s like a "stitch monster" in some kind of science fiction work. And at this time. The monster''s mouth kept closing, but it was still unable to pierce Carles'' hard armor. On the contrary, its teeth were broken bit by bit under the huge force, and it couldn''t help but let out a whimper of pain. Then, without hesitation, Carles punched the wolf monster in the jaw. The surging power poured out, knocking it out and resolving the crisis. Xiaowan immediately looked at An Bing who was attacked with concern. "Sister An Bing, are you okay?" "I''m fine." An Bing waved her hand, with some confusion on her face. "This monster... was just immune to my secret power of ice?" Xiaowan explained. "Most of the experimental subjects in the restricted area have experienced the transformation of the ice-cold secret power and have already developed antibodies to it." "It''s very difficult to damage it with that kind of force." On the other side. Xia En took a closer look at this monster that looked like a hybrid between a dragon and a wolf, and frowned slightly. It can be seen that there is a huge gap in the monster''s neck. There was blood flowing out of it. Just, even so. This monster still has extremely strong ferocity and vitality, and it is obvious that it will not die in a short period of time. This is obviously the impact of the dragon blood transformation. Moreover, judging from the speed and power it showed just now, it is impressively above the sixth level! That is to say, their group is extremely powerful. If it were the guards inside the research institute, they would suffer heavy casualties the moment they encounter this monster. Only then did Xia En understand the reason why this area was called the restricted area. And obviously, deeper in the penalty area. There are more powerful experimental subjects that have broken free from their cages. But now, all we can do is continue to rush in. Xia En first glanced at An Bing beside him and reminded him. "Miss Anbing, the next journey will only be more dangerous." "Please stop being distracted." An Bing nodded slightly ashamed. "I see." Immediately afterwards, the group continued to move deeper into the restricted area. Even though he had expected it, the scene here still made Xia En secretly stunned. Humans with obvious dragon-like characteristics; An ice sculpture whose whole body is frozen but still has the breath of life; The mummy mumbling in the corner... Everything is filled with an atmosphere of weirdness and taboo. If it hadn''t been said that this was a research institute, Xia En might have thought that this was the site of some evil ritual. The reason why King Xin hid this research institute so deeply is probably because he did not want these taboo experiments to be known to others. Look at the scene here. Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little complicated. It was hard for him to imagine that the Yan Yan he knew would conduct such a taboo experiment. But if you are the salary king... If for the people of [Great Yan Kingdom]... Maybe he will indeed let go of some of his persistence? When his thoughts were ups and downs, suddenly, the [Fire] in Xia En''s arms responded. (End of chapter) Chapter 379 [Augustine? ! 】 Chapter 379 [Augustine? ! As the group went deeper. The [fire] that had been dormant for a long time once again exuded the heat of ironing. This suddenly made Xia En''s face light up. This means that the node they are looking for is indeed deep in the restricted area. Moreover, the distance between them continues to shorten. But Xia En was a little curious about the shape of this node. Obviously, the historical King Xin was not inside the institute when the invasion occurred. So, what will be the key node of the entire memory scene? Shane is currently unknown. But one thing is for sure - That node is likely to be located near the [Eternal Coffin], and may even be the [Eternal Coffin] itself. "Help, help!" Suddenly, a cry for help came from not far away, interrupting Xia En''s thoughts. He and Jane looked at each other. He quickly rushed towards the direction where the cry for help came from. However, when a group of people arrived at the scene. But all I saw was A pale humanoid monster with snake-like fine scales was crawling on a **** body, seeming to be munching on food. The creepy chewing sound echoed in the passage. And heard the footsteps coming from Xia En and others. The pale humanoid monster raised its head and looked at the group of people. Although it was a little distorted due to scales and scars, Xia En could still tell at a glance - That''s a human face! His mouth and nose were dripping with blood, and there were a few strands of scarlet flesh at the corners of his mouth. It looks extremely ferocious. But the moment he saw that face, An Bing couldn''t help but exclaimed. "Elder Schumann?" Upon hearing this name, the humanoid monster''s vertical pupils shrank slightly. His expression seemed to regain a moment of clarity. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss An Bing?" After confirming the identity of the other party, An Bing''s eyes suddenly became extremely complicated. This elder Schumann was one of her mother''s good friends. An Bing often came to take care of her when she was young. An Bing has always regarded him as a respectable elder. However, An Bing did not expect that he would see the other party in this situation. But that''s it. Xiaowan on the side said. "Sister An Bing, there is no need to sympathize with him." "This elder Schumann once massacred an entire village in a remote area of ??[Great Yan Kingdom], even the women and children were not spared." "That''s when he was sent to the prison of the research institute." "What?!" An Bing couldn''t help but show a look of astonishment. Such a thing was actually done by Elder Schuman, whom she was familiar with? Hearing this, Elder Schuman just sneered. "Yes, I did it!" "What do you know, you fool who betrayed the family?" "Such a sacrifice is necessary in order to drive out the group of outsiders who have polluted the pure [Far North]." "Rather, I think I killed too few!" "...How could it be?" These words confirmed Xiaowan''s statement. An Bing once again showed a shaken look, feeling that her past knowledge was being destroyed, which she found difficult to accept. And this time. Schumann seemed to have remembered something, and strong excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked. "Since Miss An Bing is here, it means that the patriarch''s plan has been successful, right?" "King Xin is dead?" "Ha ha ha ha!" Schumann laughed triumphantly. "What a wonderful death! If he dies, this [Great Yan Kingdom] will be like a castle in the air, it will collapse soon." Hearing this, An Bing''s expression suddenly changed drastically. "What did you say?" "My mother''s plan...what is it? What does it have to do with me?" "Um?" As if he sensed that An Bing''s doubts didn''t seem like he was acting out, Schumann''s laughter stopped abruptly. This time it was his turn to be surprised. "How is that possible?" "You don''t know the team leader''s plan?" As if he was stimulated by learning about this incident, Schumann''s expression became a little distorted, faintly revealing a hint of madness. he muttered. "Impossible...impossible...absolutely impossible!" "Because you are clearly the most important culprit in this plan." "What are you talking about?" "I''m...Anzi?" An Bing was very smart, and she quickly sensed part of the truth from his words, and couldn''t help but frown. she questioned again. "Elder Schumann, tell me clearly!" Just now. The crazy look on Schumann''s face became more and more obvious, and he gradually revealed his beast-like ferocity. "roar-" Schumann let out a low roar in his throat, then got down on all fours and rushed straight towards Xia En and the others. Compared with the previous dragon wolf, he is faster! It even exudes a unique blood pressure. -That is the power of the dragon from the ancient dragon. However, for Xia En, such pressure is not enough! He also let out a low roar, and the ancient dragon''s blood surged through his body. The tyrannical power and pressure poured out immediately. On the contrary, Schumann, who lost his mind, was shocked for just a second. If it were those ordinary [Western Frost Wolves], they would probably have fled with their tails between their legs. However, the Schumann in front of him obviously no longer even has that kind of rationality. All that was left in his brain was the desire to kill. So, he just paused for a moment before rushing forward again. Boom! The next moment, Shane''s fist collided with Schumann''s claws. There was a muffled sound immediately, causing the entire passage to faintly shake. There was a hint of surprise in Xia En''s expression. If we say, the previous half-dragon, half-wolf experimental body only had quasi-sixth level strength. So the Schumann in front of him may have reached the peak of the sixth level in terms of physical fitness alone! and. After the fight, there was an extremely cold secret power that continued to seep into Xia En''s skin, trying to freeze him. only. Xia En''s [Secret Power of the Void] is not a vegetarian either. With just a little movement, this icy secret power was completely removed. As for Schumann''s physique, which is far beyond ordinary people, he is more like a witch in front of Xia En. It was just that he was suppressed in an instant. After several fights. Schumann''s body was like a battered rag doll, becoming tattered. But it has to be said. The transformation of taboos in the institute indeed gave Schumann extraordinary vitality and self-healing abilities. Even though his body was broken in many places and his whole body was a little out of shape, Schumann still did not die. An Bing still wanted to ask Schumann something. Just looking at his appearance at this time, he seemed to have completely lost the ability to communicate normally. then. Xia En simply stopped holding back and prepared to use all his strength to kill him directly. But just as Shane punched Schumann in the head. A bronze light suddenly lit up in the eyes of this crazy-looking elder of the "Ice and Snow People". immediately. Everything around seemed to have stopped for a moment. Almost in the blink of an eye, Schumann''s body moved a certain distance to the side, thus avoiding Shane''s fatal blow. "This is?" Xia En raised his eyebrows. He had a feeling that at that moment, the time around him seemed to be frozen. This allowed Schumann to barely dodge the attack. This discovery undoubtedly surprised Xia En. Did Schumann really master a certain amount of time and space? Even if the power he can exert is extremely small, the time of stasis is less than a second. 69BookBar But just mastering the power of time and space itself is an incredible thing! It''s like... In previous lives, certain countries have mastered the technology of H reactors. No matter how small the reactor is, it still has extraordinary significance. Also aware of this. And Jane not far away. She looked shocked and murmured: "King Xin''s research has actually reached this point..." Even a failed experiment can control some power of time and space. It can be seen that Xin Wangs research has indeed advanced to a very deep level. perhaps This is also the reason why the [Truth Society] in history tried to seize the research results. However, although the power of time and space is powerful, it also depends on who is using it. After all, Schumann had lost his human sanity and was seriously injured. The stimulation just now was just an outbreak at a critical moment. Therefore, after Xia En came to his senses, it only took two or three moves to kill him on the spot. Looking at Schumann''s body, An Bing''s eyes were complicated. The words he just said are still echoing in my mind. Xia En glanced at An Bing silently. From the words of this [People of Ice and Snow] elder, it is not difficult to guess - [People of Ice and Snow] seems to have an assassination plan targeting King Xin. In the original plan, Dark Ice was a key part of it. Although I am a little curious about those past events, now is not the time to think deeply. Obviously. More and more prisoners have escaped from their cages and are wreaking havoc in this restricted area. After observing, Xia En learned that the person who asked for help before was an unfortunate researcher who happened to encounter such an accident. Coupled with the infiltration of the [Truth Society]... Xia En couldn''t help but worry. Can the two legendary strong men stationed in the penalty area really control the situation? at the same time. The restricted area of ??the institute, the deepest part. There is an empty and lonely hall. The temperature here has dropped to an extremely terrifying level. Ice-blue frost formed on the floor, walls, and dome of the hall. Ordinary people would probably die of hypothermia within ten minutes just by being here. However. It was in this cold hall that two torch-like figures stood. These are twin brothers who look almost identical. Similar handsome features like marble sculptures, and the same dark and slender black flame robe. Only the little black moles located under the left and right eye sockets can distinguish their different identities. That powerful and fiery aura made it impossible for the surrounding icy secret power to get close to them. Even at this time, the entire institute was in a state of emergency being invaded. The faces of the brothers remained calm, without the slightest emotion. Like a sculpture, it stands in this cold hall. because The task given to them by King Xin is to guard the [Eternal Coffin] inside this hall! No matter what happens outside, they must ensure that the [Eternal Coffin] is not captured by outsiders. And just then. The younger brother, who had a mole on his left eye, opened his eyes. "Brother, it seems...there are guests coming." The elder brother of the two also opened his eyes and looked towards the only entrance to the hall. There. An old man with white beard and hair, hunched body and looking extremely weak, was limping over. His ribs and back were interspersed with dozens of thick iron ropes, and the blood on them had long since dried. There are even chains on his hands and feet that have almost grown with flesh and blood. As if he had just walked out of prison. Its hard to imagine that anyone could move forward with such a chain. In comparison, his rickety posture seemed perfectly normal. Just, seeing this old man. The elder brother of the two just sneered. "guest?" "No! It''s just an old dog that should have died a long time ago!" After hearing this comment, the old man just laughed hoarsely. "Yeah, old dog..." "I''m just a shameless old dog who wants to live!" "But it''s better than those [Great Yan Kingdom] officials and generals I killed, right?" There was strong sarcasm in his tone. "Oh, by the way, I remember that many people in [Black Flame Walker] also died in my hands." "Among them...are you two brothers'' comrades in arms, right?" "I remember, I should have killed their entire family..." The two brothers did not speak. But strong murderous intent flashed through their eyes. "It seems that such a long life as a prisoner has not taught you to behave better." The younger brother said calmly. "Now that you''ve broken into this place, you should know what will happen to you, right?" "No matter what I do, King Xin will not punish me." "I will let you taste the fear before you die!" At this, the old man sneered. "If you can do it, then do it." The old man''s words had not yet finished. The two legendary brothers came to him as if they had traveled through space. A hand big enough to crush the alloy directly grabbed the old man''s head. "Well done!" Seeing this scene, the white-haired old man was not surprised but happy, with a sneer on his face that showed a successful conspiracy. Since he was imprisoned, the cold secret power that had been suppressed somewhere in his body poured out in an instant. This old guy actually hid this trick! The younger brother''s pupils shrank, but there was no fear in his eyes. This level of coldness could only freeze him for half a second at most. But at this moment. The expression of the brother not far away suddenly changed. Because he saw that another figure that he could not see had quietly appeared beside his brother, and slapped it down with a palm. There was a muffled sound. The younger brother retreated violently, as if he had been hit hard. When he raised his head again, a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, obviously he had been seriously injured. He looked at the sudden appearance of the figure with great fear. And when I saw that face clearly. The two brothers couldn''t help but shrink their pupils and whispered in disbelief. "King of Pirates" "Augustin?" (End of chapter) Chapter 380 Face the [Truth Society] head on! August Chapter 380 Confronting the [Truth Society]! Augustine controlled! "oh?" "I didn''t expect that in this day and age, someone would recognize me." The man who easily repelled the [Black Flame Walker] turned around, revealing a face in the prime of his life. His eyes were dark and deep, like a starless night sky. Short black hair. There is a smooth stubble on the chin, so that the whole face does not look too childish. Even though he is quite different from the old man in the portrait. But the two brothers can still recognize each other at a glance This person who suddenly appeared is none other than the founder of the [Pirate Principality] in the old era, the former king, Augustine! In fact, that''s why they recognized each other. It''s because... King Xin admired the pirate king so much that he even hung his portrait in the Great Yan Palace. Once, the two brothers heard King Xin mention - Some of the technologies in this institute actually come from Augustine''s legacy. However, they never expected it. I will meet this past king here! And, look at his appearance. Not only did the other party come back to life, he even returned to the state of his youth. The most important thing is... Augustine also became an accomplice of the invaders! ? "What on earth is going on?" Even the two well-informed brothers couldn''t help but feel confused and shocked when faced with this situation. However, it was a shock. The two of them did not panic because of this, but became more clear about what they had to do at this time - No matter who comes, they just need to drive them out without leaving any one behind, that''s enough! And this time. Several more figures in white coats came from outside the hall. They have a rational temperament similar to Jane. Because he is too rational, he inexplicably gives people a feeling of being human but not human. One of them glanced at Augustine not far away, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Is this the Augustine you recreated?" "Not bad, it''s at least 90% restored." "It seems that there are still some real geniuses in the [Truth Society] in later generations, and they have not tarnished our reputation." he asked with a smile. "But...he is not Augustine in his heyday, right?" "Is it because the technology is not up to standard yet, or... is there some kind of realm limit when you come to this place?" Hearing these words, the [Truth Society] members next to them were suddenly surprised. One of them said: "As expected of Lord Camus, whose documents have been passed down to later generations, he can guess the truth at a glance." Camus said calmly: "Isn''t this a matter of course?" Seeing this group of people with unique temperaments, they started complimenting each other at this moment. The two legendary [Black Flame Walkers] and the old man [People of Ice and Snow] both looked a little weird. It''s been a long time since they''ve experienced this feeling of neglect. The white-haired old man saw that the fighter plane he had finally created was wasted in such a way. He couldn''t suppress his anger and couldn''t help but ask. "What are you doing?" "Why don''t you kill these brothers quickly?" "If we wait a little longer, King Xin might notice something different here and come over!" Seeing his angry expression, the [Truth Society] member named Camus frowned slightly. "What an idiot who doesn''t understand appreciation." "You don''t know the meaning and beauty of this technology at all, do you?" But halfway through, Camus shook his head. "After all, talking about the greatness of technology with a mediocre person like you is just playing the piano to an ox." "No. B5, go and kill them." Following Camus''s order. Augustine, who had remained silent ever since members of the [Truth Society] came forward, finally took action. He looked at the two brothers in the legendary realm. The aura on their bodies was constantly building up, like an insurmountable mountain. At the same time, Augustine said lightly. "Although I don''t want to kill, I am currently restricted by others, so I have no choice but to take action." "You two, be careful!" After hearing this, the two brothers'' expressions became serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They vaguely guessed. The Augustine in front of him may not be the pirate king in real history, and his strength is not at its peak. But even so. The two brothers couldn''t help but feel great pressure. A king from the old days. The title itself is enough to be intimidating. Especially when the two brothers also had close contact with King Xin. They know better than the average person the weight behind the title "King". but. The expressions of the two of them were still determined, and they did not show any fear. No matter who the enemy is, if you don''t even have the courage to fight against it. Then they will truly lose! In the passage deep in the restricted area. Xia En and his party are moving forward quickly. And on the way forward. They saw that the bodies of victims and experimental subjects continued to appear near each cell. Some subjects died from the micro-devices attached to their necks. Another part of the body had traces of being torn and eaten by wild beasts. Obviously. These irrational experimental subjects will not only attack the guards and researchers of the institute. Among themselves, they will also fight and devour each other. And just as everyone was passing through a cell, they met a guard of the institute who was covered in blood but was not dead yet. "Director Wan?" The guard leaning against the wall had not yet lost consciousness. When he saw Xia En and his party passing by, he couldn''t help but let out a hoarse call. Xiaowan quickly stepped forward and said in surprise after seeing the other person''s face clearly. "Are you Hilson, who specializes in guarding the Great Elder''s cell?" "It''s me." Hilson said extremely weakly. "There is actually a cold secret power hidden in that guy''s body, and it was not revealed until today." "My brothers and I tried our best but could not defeat it. In the end... I was the only one who survived." "There are also several researchers who are also his accomplices." "After helping him escape from the cage, they headed towards the deepest hall of the restricted area." "What?" Hearing this, a flash of panic flashed across Xiaowan''s face. "The Great Elder escaped?" Looking at the slightly confused looks in Xia En and others'' eyes, Xiaowan explained. "The Great Elder is the most dangerous prisoner in this institute." "His hostility and hatred towards King Xin and [Great Yan Kingdom] is also the strongest among all [People of Ice and Snow]." At this time, An Bing obviously remembered the existence of this great elder and murmured to himself. "The great elder has always claimed to be in seclusion within the family." "I didn''t expect... to be imprisoned in the restricted area of ??this research institute." The guard named Hilson persuaded. "Director Wan, please run away." "This rebellion is by no means a temporary action. The enemies have been fully prepared for it." "Not only the old guy, but also several prisoners of the [People of Ice and Snow] are waiting for this day." "Moreover, there is an extremely scary guy among them..." Having said this, the guard''s face showed a lingering fear of escaping from death. "He just glanced at us, and his aura almost took our breath away." "I think... even those two adults are not necessarily his opponents, right?" "There is such a strong person." Xiaowan murmured in shock. She knew very well the status of the two [Black Flame Walker] brothers in the heart of the guards. But at this time, the guard gave this evaluation. It is enough to show how powerful the enemy is. Xia En was not surprised by this. Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel. Since the [Truth Society] had made plans to invade the research institute early, they would naturally send out elite forces with legendary combat power. That''s when. boom! boom! boom! In the passage deep below, a series of loud noises suddenly sounded. The collision of some kind of force caused the entire underground research institute to faintly shake. And after hearing a muffled sound. Xia En''s expression changed slightly. He could feel that the power levels of both parties colliding at this time had reached the legendary realm! Obviously, this was when the legendary strongman stationed at the institute encountered the invader. Shane quickly guessed the truth. Just don''t know why. From the vague aura of secret power, he noticed a hint or two of familiarity. Suppress the doubts in your heart. Xia En no longer hesitated and immediately led everyone towards the deepest hall. When dealing with the failed experimental subjects encountered on the road, Xia En no longer held back and directly crushed them with violence in order to reach the scene of the battle as quickly as possible. On such a fast and furious journey. After a while. The group of people arrived at the entrance of the hall. The scene that caught his eye made Xia En''s pupils shrink. I saw it in this empty and cold underground hall. Two figures wearing black flame robes were flashing back and forth. They were launching a violent attack on a figure in the center of the hall every moment. The dark flames wrapped around them, carrying an aura that seemed to come from the netherworld. Their tall bodies are made even more majestic, making people think of envoys who are seducing people and demanding their lives. The legendary level of momentum is fully displayed. But even in the face of the siege of these two legendary powerhouses. The figure in the center of the hall was still as calm as taking a leisurely stroll. He clapped his hands from time to time. But it always falls exactly where the two brothers must pass, as if their energy has been locked. No matter how fast the two of them moved, they could not escape his attack. On the bright side. It was two brothers who were launching a fierce attack on this person. But it felt to everyone as if he had single-handedly suppressed these two legends. as if Once the two brothers stop attacking, they will be defeated in an instant. only. The shock brought by this battle scene was far less than the shock Xia En had when he saw the face of the besieged man. "...Augustine?" Not just in the promotion ritual, but in an experience of returning to history. On that [Emerald Island], Shane had seen the young Augustine with his own eyes. That face was almost the same as the man in front of him. But what he couldn''t understand was... Augustine, why are you here? The first guess that came to Xia En''s mind was that Augustine was also an existence shaped by the memory of [Great Flame]. But then I thought it was wrong. Even in the era of [Great Yan Kingdom], Augustine had already passed away for hundreds of years, and it was impossible to reproduce such a complete form. And immediately. Xia En looked at the researchers in white coats not far away. From their unique temperament, it is not difficult to tell that they are members of the [Truth Society]! Combined again, at this time, Augustine seems to be on the side of the invaders... Shane immediately came to the conclusion This Augustine is exactly the product of the [Truth Society] plan to reproduce the strong men in history! Think of this. Shane''s first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was anger. Although he only had a few contacts with Augustine. But he also received a lot of help from this king and gained a deeper understanding of him. Shane clearly understood what kind of courage and ambition Augustine had? The deeds of daring to challenge foreign gods. It once shocked his heart and made him admire him. This is definitely a king worthy of respect! But at this time. The [Truth Society] reappeared him when he should have been sleeping, just to satisfy his own selfish desires. This is undoubtedly blasphemy against Augustine! How could Shane not be angry about this? at the same time. Members of the [Truth Society] headed by Camus also noticed the arrival of Xia En and others. Camus''s eyes first fell on Jane in the crowd. "Such a rational temperament makes him different from those idiots at first glance." "Could it be that...she is also our companion?" But the members from the later generations of the [Truth Society] suddenly changed their expressions and murmured. "Mrs. Serenity? Shane?" "They actually came too..." "Lord Camus, we must fight quickly." "Please hold them back and let us seize the [Eternal Coffin]." The purpose of these [Truth Society] members is very clear. They didn''t come here to fight life or death. Taking away this [Eternal Coffin] is their ultimate goal. Hearing this, Camus did not delay, but said calmly. "Leave it to me." Then, the man who spoke earlier shouted to Augustine. "No. B5, fight quickly and resolve the battle as soon as possible." Hearing this, Augustine''s eyes flashed with anger. Even if he is not the real body, he will never like this feeling of being ordered. But in response, the [Truth Society] member just sneered and showed his wrist. On it, there is a bracelet inlaid with three gemstones. The man said loudly. "Augustin B5, I order you to use all your strength to defeat these two legendary mystics." The words fell. One of the gems shattered in response. There seemed to be an invisible curse mark emerging in the air, acting directly on Augustine. Augustine''s body suddenly stiffened. Then, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes became cold and emotionless, like a cold machine. Immediately afterwards, Augustine launched a real offensive against the legendary brothers! (End of chapter) Chapter 381 【Secret Technique of Combination】 Chapter 381 [Secret Technique of Fusion] "That is?" Not far away, Xia En naturally noticed the researcher''s strange behavior and the bracelet on his wrist. Xia En was vaguely familiar with such a device. That was probably some kind of prop used to control Augustine. The gems on it are some means of enforcing orders. Similar to what is called a "Command Seal." Think about it too. If the Augustine in history is really reproduced, after knowing the situation he is in, he will definitely not be willing to be used by the [Truth Society]. It is even possible to directly fight the [Truth Society] to death. Only this control device engraved deep in his soul can allow the [Truth Society] to drive him with confidence. As for the prefix "B5", it is most likely the code name of this "Augustine" by the [Truth Society]. That is to say. There may be more than one "Augustine" they reproduced! Thinking of this, the anger in Xia En''s heart became stronger. He rarely had such strong murderous intent towards people. But the behavior of the [Truth Society] made him feel that he was still too kind sometimes. And at the same time. After giving an order with the help of something that looks like a curse. The battle situation on the field immediately developed towards a one-sided situation. Augustine, who had been taking his time and just blocking the attacks of the two brothers, had greatly increased his desire to attack. From move to move, it became extremely powerful and swift. It''s like changing personal control. It''s not hard to see. Augustine did not fight seriously at all before. The released water is as wide as the sea. At this time, after being ordered by him to take action with all their strength, the two Black Flame brothers suddenly felt extremely strong pressure. From barely maintaining a balance between the two sides, it became struggling to support it under Augustine. Something to say. The two of them were like a small boat in a storm, and they could be swallowed up by the howling wind and huge waves at any time. "Damn it, you can be so strong." The elder brother in [Black Flame Walker] frowned, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead. It can be seen that he is under great pressure at this time. He could see that the Augustine in front of him was just beginning to enter the realm of legend. It even... seems to be temporarily improved by some special means. In theory. Augustine should not be as good as the two mystics who have been in the legend for many years. But in fact. The feeling the other party gave him was just one word - powerful! And its powerful in all aspects. Regardless of the strength of the physical body, the depth of the secret power, or the control over the secret power. Or the quality of mental power, the tenacity of will... Augustine must be above the two brothers! It gave him the feeling that the enemy in front of him was like a piece of steel that had been tempered many times. At each stage of promotion, an extremely solid foundation has been laid. It can be said that the limit of every level has been reached. Therefore, even though Augustine''s state at this time was unstable, let alone his heyday in history, he could still easily crush the two of them. "Is this the strength of the Pirate King?" The legend in [Black Flame Walker] couldn''t help but feel awe, and secretly thought in his heart. "Sure enough... no one who can become the first king of a country is simple." "At this point, all we can do is try to keep things under control." Thinking of this, the man turned his head and looked at his brother not far away. The twin brothers had a tacit understanding that made the younger brother look at him at this time as well. Both brothers saw a look of determination in each other''s eyes. The next moment. "Come on fire!" Accompanied by a soft drink from the two of them. Raging black flames exploded from their bodies. In the blink of an eye, it covered their bodies like running water. Immediately afterwards. The bodies of the two people gradually merged into one body in the burning black flames, becoming indistinguishable from each other. It transformed into a figure that was taller and more majestic than before, with a more powerful aura. Subsequently. The black flames slowly dissipated, and a man with a little black mole under his left and right eye sockets walked out. Compared with just now, his aura seemed to have risen to a higher level out of thin air. Faintly reached the eighth level above the legend! The whole person''s temperament also became more majestic, with a texture like the messenger from hell. This is the unique combination of these two brothers. They can merge into one body in a short time and burst out with more powerful power. certainly. Such a powerful secret technique naturally comes with a high price. But at this time, facing Augustine in front of them, their brothers had no choice. And after seeing the two brothers become one. Not only did Augustine not flinch, his eyes suddenly lit up, with an increasingly strong fighting spirit emerging. Even if he is just a copy of Augustine, he will never be afraid of facing a strong enemy. boom! All of a sudden. The two sides once again collided with each other in an extremely fierce manner. The terrible aftermath spreads outward. The expressions of everyone watching could not help but change. And at the same time. Xia En''s attention fell on the members of the [Truth Society] not far away, walking towards the [Eternal Coffin] along the edge of the hall. previously. Although the two legends among the [Black Flame Walkers] were entangled by Augustine, they still had some energy left to distract themselves from other people in the field. If they had gone to the center of the hall at that time, they would undoubtedly have been stopped immediately. But for now, as Augustine gets serious. The two brothers could only devote all their bodies and minds to the battle, not daring to be distracted in the slightest. This gave the people of the [Truth Society] an opportunity to take advantage of. As they get closer to the [Eternal Coffin]. A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, and he was about to attack them with thunderous means. But at this moment. However, the member of the [Truth Society] named Camus stood up and stopped in front of them. "Your opponent is me." Camus said coldly. "Although I don''t know why you want to stop our great plan." "But...all those who stand in our way to the truth are enemies." "You can die here in peace!" After the words fell, Camus gently pressed a button on his body. immediately. A layer of silver-gray special metal emerged from his body surface like flowing liquid. First, a structure like an exoskeleton is formed. In an instant, it covered his whole body and fit it together perfectly. soon. What appeared in front of Xia En and others was a strange man wearing a silver armor with a streamlined body. And when seeing this scene. Carles behind Shane couldn''t help but open his eyes wide. "This is" She had to admit that the armor worn by the man in front of her had some special similarities with her own. Xia En also narrowed his eyes slightly. He can feel it. After Camus put on this silver-gray armor. The other party''s aura is rising at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it reached the level of legend, sending out signals of extreme danger. It''s obvious. in the original history. This Camus is the trump card used by the [Truth Society] to fight against the black flame brothers. But at this time, it was Xia En and others'' turn to confront him. Carles was still a little shocked and murmured. "That armor?" Only then did Camus seem to notice the existence of Carles and glanced at her lightly. "oh?" This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~ A slightly distorted sound came from under his visor, making the weird inhumanity even more obvious. "...a mechanical creation with life?" "I''ve seen a lot of people similar to you." "But there are not many people with sixth-level combat power like you." "If you are willing to surrender, I will give you a chance to be my experimental subject." Upon hearing these arrogant words, Carles''s faceplate lit up with red light, revealing full murderous intent. "You want me to surrender? Are you worthy?" With that said, Carles looked at Xia En who was aside. "Captain Shane, let''s go." Shane instantly understood what Carles meant, and without any hesitation, he directly extended his hand to her. The situation is extremely urgent now, and there is no time to test it step by step. The best way to defeat the enemy in front of you is to use all your strength to defeat them! Not only is the brother of [Black Flame Walker] possessing the secret technique of fusion, he and Carles also have a passionate combination technique! The next moment. In the dispersing steam, Carles'' body continued to decompose into pieces of precise gears and levers. Countless parts, large and small, fit onto Xia En''s body like living things, wrapped up like flesh and blood. Gradually it was pieced together into a suit of white gold armor mixed with brass. Shane and Carles have experienced this kind of combination several times and are completely familiar with it. Finally, what appeared in front of everyone was a platinum knight over two meters tall, with steam constantly spitting out from his body. Full of a sense of oppression. and Camus not far away. It''s like humanoid mechas from two different dimensions but with similar technology. And the moment the two sides'' eyes met. They rushed towards each other in a brazen manner. boom! ! After the collision, terrible force was transmitted from the feet of both parties to the ground. If it weren''t for this hall being built by King Xin. At this moment, just this impact is enough to collapse the underground space. Even so, fine cracks appeared under the feet of both of them. Moreover, this collision is just the beginning. Bang! Bang! Bang! In just one second, the two of them had already fought dozens of times. The bodies of both sides pulled out afterimages in the air. The terrifying air waves continued to expand. After a round of fighting, the two sides temporarily distanced themselves. "Nice power." Camus commented while standing on the cold ground. "But after all, it''s just a legendary ant." "If it''s just this level, you can''t get past me!" In Carles package. Xia En''s expression was a little solemn. Just as Camus said, he and Carles did not reach the level of legend after all. Although after being combined, the combat power of one plus one is greater than two. But the gap in realm still exists. Xia En didn''t think that he could easily defeat all the legendary strong men just because he defeated the undead Hanno. In fact. His ability to kill the undead Hanno actually had a certain amount of luck. On the one hand, Hanno is in a half-human, half-undead state. His strength is far less than what he was in his heyday. on the other hand. It was the [Eye of Peeping Secrets] that happened to discover Hanno''s flaw, so that he could deliver the fatal blow in the end. Xia En is still very aware of this. He will not misjudge his own strength because of this, nor will he have any contempt for it. only. This battle was also very different from the battle against Hanno at that time. Because at this time, there were Jane and Carles beside Shane. The platinum armor transformed by Carles greatly reduced the numerical gap between Shane and Camus. Although he hasn''t been able to defeat the opponent yet, he won''t be pushed too far away. Only by barely being able to fight evenly can we have the basis to defeat the opponent. And at the same time. Jane behind him also took action without warning. The cane in her hand moved forward slightly. In mid-air, there were countless numbers that looked like formulas and codes, blocking Camus'' body from all directions, sealing him in it. "Um?" When Camus'' eyes fell on those formulas, he couldn''t help but be slightly stunned. Those characters had a very strong attraction for him. It''s like...if you don''t decipher and analyze it, it''s a kind of blasphemy against knowledge. "Are you actually using knowledge as the foundation and core of the secret technique?" "It''s interesting." "Sure enough, you are different from them." "However, if you use this method to deal with me, you are looking for the wrong person!" Camus looked towards those formulas. For ordinary people, if they cannot solve the mystery behind these formulas, they will be trapped in this cage composed of numbers and formulas. It can be said that this is Jane''s intellectual suppression of the enemy. However, as Camus''s mind was spinning rapidly. The knowledge stored deep in the brain is constantly mobilized. The obscure problems that would have trapped ordinary people for several years were quickly solved in a few breaths. visible. As a member of the [Truth Society] of this era, Camus'' knowledge reserve can only be described as "incomparably profound". A true genius. I''m afraid...this is also the reason why he has an extremely arrogant character and calls other people mediocre. only. No matter how fast Camus solved the problem, it still took some time. And take advantage of this time. Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets] flashed with dim light, trying to find his flaws as quickly as possible. Due to limited time, Xia En did not attempt to directly find Camus'' core flaw, but instead focused on the silver armor. As long as this armor is broken, Camus''s threat will be greatly reduced. And soon, in the chaotic dots and lines, Xia En found a flaw that was difficult to detect. Just a breath of time. Shane rushed out like an arrow again. The secret power of [Great Dark Sky] was condensed in the palm of his hand. Dozens of steam cores provide him with surging power. The [Eye of Peeping Secrets] locked onto the weakest point of the armor. boom! Shane punched Camus in the waist and abdomen. "Crack!" A cracking sound followed. (End of chapter) Chapter 382 Goodbye Leila! (Merry Christmas!) Chapter 382 Goodbye Laila! (Merry Christmas!) Click! In an instant, Xia En felt as if his fist hit something like a chip. The chip then cracked. Almost at the same time. Camus completed the solution to the problem set by Jane. The moment he noticed that the chip was broken, Camus'' expression suddenly changed and he shouted angrily. "How dare you?" Immediately, his armor lit up with a silvery white light. A ray of silver light, like a blade, slashed straight towards Xia En''s waist. It forced him to retreat temporarily. However, Xia En''s attack just now was not ineffective. He could clearly see that there were several fine cracks on Camus'' silver armor. Even the next moment, these cracks healed again. But this also shows. After the chip is shattered, the stability and solidity of the entire armor will inevitably be greatly reduced. The evidence is... In Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets], the number of flaws in Camus''s body suddenly increased several times compared to before. Wait until the light dissipates. Camus finally looked at Xia En with some attention. At this time, he clearly noticed the glint in Xia En''s eyes and murmured. "Those eyes of yours...actually have the power of rules?" "It turns out that you relied on it to find the core of the armor." Camus''s eyesight is indeed extraordinary, and he quickly understood the effect of Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. Suddenly this time. Camus'' eyes glanced at Jane beside him again. At this time, this wise and rational old woman once again raised the cane in her hand. The chaotic codes and numbers are arranged and combined in a manner that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, as if they are once again forming a cage made of knowledge. Jian said calmly. "That just now is just knowledge that is eight hundred years out of date." "Now, how should you deal with the research results from 500 years ago?" Hearing this, Camus felt an ominous premonition in his heart. Through communication with later members of the [Truth Society], he naturally knew that these members, like those members, were all beings from the "future". And even though Camus looked down upon them, he knew deep down With the development of the times, many new technologies will surely be born, and many laws and conjectures will be confirmed. For example, the technology used by the [Truth Society] to reproduce Augustine was a great breakthrough in his opinion. This is also the inevitability of the development of the times. Camus'' talent, in this era, is certainly amazing and knowledgeable. But for those who have never been exposed to knowledge, it is obviously not easy to crack it. It''s like... Take an ancient scientist and suddenly throw him into modern times. If they study for a period of time, they may be able to master that knowledge quickly. But asking them to figure out the principles of core technology within a few minutes is undoubtedly a fantasy. "I admit, I underestimated you. Camus said coldly. "In that case..." "Then we can only use this trick." The next moment. He pressed a button on his body again. A cold mechanical sound then sounded: "Automatic combat mode is on." Then, the color of the entire armor changed subtly, seeming to turn into a pure silvery white. And attacked Xia En again! And this time. Jane''s secret technique built from knowledge also came to Camus again. But Jane surprised him. This time, Camus seemed to have ignored the shackles of those formulas and numbers, and moved against Xia En without any pause. Jane realized the truth with just one glance. "Put aside personal consciousness and directly fight with the armor itself?" Jane''s secret knowledge can only be effective when faced with creatures with the ability to think rationally. Especially humans like Camus who are researchers themselves are involuntarily attracted to knowledge and want to decipher the mysteries behind it. But if it''s against a dead object like a stone or a piece of steel, it will have almost no effect. Because they themselves have no concept of knowledge. Even basic rationality is absent. at this time. Camus activated the automatic combat mode of this armor to avoid Jane''s secret technique. I have to say that this tactic is indeed correct. Moreover, Xia En was a little surprised. After activating the so-called automatic battle mode... Camus''s fighting power has become stronger! Simply put. Camus didn''t seem to know any battles or moves before. He just relies on his powerful performance to fight instinctively. There will inevitably be some loopholes in the action. It''s just because his speed is too fast and his strength is too great. Even if Xia En saw these flaws, he wouldn''t be able to catch them immediately. In fact, this is the normal situation. There are specialties in the art industry. The researchers of the [Truth Society] put their efforts into research, and most of them will not devote their energy to actual combat. Otherwise, they will not find another way to reappear the strong men in history and use them for their own purposes. And at this time. After giving this silver armor to "fight on his behalf". Camus seemed to turn into a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles and honed his martial arts for many years in the blink of an eye. All movements become extremely capable and efficient, with nothing superfluous. As precise and rigorous as a machine. It almost perfectly displays the combat effectiveness of this armor. What frightened Xia En the most was. He could see that the armor seemed to be constantly learning to imitate his movements during the battle. And adjust your response strategy according to his moves! That is to say. This armor has the ability to learn in battle. It''s hard to imagine that this is something a battle armor can do. But consider that even Carles could exist. The [Truth Society] can design it. Such a armor doesn''t seem to be impossible. It is for these reasons. After Camus switched to combat mode. Instead of reducing Xia En''s pressure, it actually increased greatly. And, the worst part is Shane also noticed that Camus seemed to have revised his combat goals. From annihilating Xia En and others, to... delaying them as much as possible. Don''t let them stop the group of people who capture the [Eternal Coffin]. I have to say. After Camus put down his contempt for Shane and others, the situation undoubtedly became several times more difficult. If you give Shane enough time. Of course, he was confident that he would find the most fatal flaw in this silver armor and completely defeat it. But right now. Those [Truth Society] members would not give him such time. Just then. The group of people had arrived less than twenty meters away from the [Eternal Coffin]. The leader of the [Truth Society] member murmured to himself with a flash of fire in his eyes. "We are about to get the key to the new world..." He looked back at Xia En and others who were entangled, and sneered. "Haha, you stupid people, just watch as we hold this key in our hands." But, suddenly, his words stopped abruptly. A figure made of ice crystals appeared in front of them. That cold face was surprisingly An Bing, who had been silent since just now. "What?" Under the silver armor, Camus'' slightly surprised voice came out. He looked at where An Bing was standing before and found that the body had quietly dispersed into pieces of ice crystals. Apparently. Dark Ice used some kind of clone''s secret technique to hide his body, leaving an ice crystal body in place, thereby hiding it from Camus''s perception. "Damn it!" Looking at An Bing in front of him, the leader of the [Truth Society] member cursed and ordered to his companion, the colonel. This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~ "You guys, go and stop him!" "Let me take away the [Eternal Coffin]." After saying that, he left his companions behind and ran straight towards the [Eternal Coffin]. Although the other members also panicked for a moment because of the sudden appearance of An Bing. But seeing her alone, I couldn''t help but gain some courage. So many against one. The advantage is mine! So, everyone no longer hesitated and charged towards An Bing. These [Truth Society] members each have their own methods. Some took out some kind of weapons that looked like modified firearms. Some seemed to have undergone some kind of human body modification and shot lasers from their arms. Others were murmuring something in a low voice. An Bing''s body condensed, feeling locked and weakened. I think it''s some kind of special curse. It can be seen. This group of members is already considered the elite of the [Truth Society], and many of them have the aura of sixth-level mystics. But at this time. Dark Ice also showed a combat power that far exceeded that of ordinary sixth-level Mystic Pathfinders. The black hair behind her danced wildly, gradually becoming icy blue. The temperature around me dropped again and again, and tiny ice crystals continued to appear in the air. There was already a large amount of ice-cold secret power stored in this hall, and when she activated it, it was like forming an extremely cold realm. The ice-cold secret power poured out without reservation. It is both a means of attack and a layer of defense. Isolate all enemy attacks. Click...click... Under this chill. One after another, members of the [Truth Society] were frozen into ice sculptures by the extreme cold. Camus, who was watching from the sidelines, became even more angry and tried to step forward and kill An Bing directly. At this time, Xia En came forward and sneered. "Your opponent...is me!" This is exactly what Camus said not long ago. Just like Camus can hold back Shane and Jane so that they can''t be distracted. With Xia En''s full strength, Camus could also be distracted. It is obviously impossible to attack An Bing in front of him. Just now. The [Truth Society] group is too close to the [Eternal Coffin] after all. No matter how fast An Bing was, they would eventually delay him for some time. The headed researcher took out a strange space ring and pressed it towards the [Eternal Coffin] in front of him. Saw this scene. The hearts of Xia En and others couldn''t help but sink to the bottom. Could it be... Were you still unable to stop the [Truth Society]s plan after all? But suddenly. A female voice that seemed vaguely familiar to Xia En sounded in this cold underground hall. "Who allowed you...to touch what belongs to me?" All of a sudden. The members of the [Truth Society] suddenly stiffened, as if they were being targeted by some extremely terrifying existence. The oppressive feeling coming from deep within his instincts made him almost unable to breathe. He slowly raised his head. I saw On that ice coffin, a tall and elegant woman was sitting. Her long hair cascaded down her back. The emerald green eyes are like the most precious gems in the world. No words of praise can describe the beauty of that face. Once you take one look at it, you will never forget it. The slightly pointed ears indicate her ethnicity. "elf?" This [Truth Society] member murmured. "But why are there elves here?" But before he had time to think more, the world in front of him fell into darkness. In the eyes of everyone, the researcher''s body slowly fell to the ground, lifeless. And when he saw the face of the woman who suddenly appeared. Xia En couldn''t help but feel shocked. That voice, that face, that figure... How could he admit his mistake? That woman is the Laila that Shane has always wanted to see! The appearance of Laila undoubtedly gave Shane a stronger impact than when he met Augustine before. Because he never thought that Laila would appear here! and. Laila also claimed that... the [Eternal Coffin] is hers? What''s going on? Under this severe psychological impact, even Xia En lost consciousness for a moment. And Camus in front of him obviously would not let go of such a flaw. "How dare you get distracted while fighting with me?" "Go to hell!" A first-order blade protruded from Camus''s arm. A dazzling silver sword flashed straight towards Xia En. It is condensed with extremely dense secret power, which can cut through almost all obstacles in front of it. If this knife hits, Xia En will be seriously injured even if he doesn''t die. But in the next moment. A long and slender index finger blocked the light of the sword. Shane only felt a hand wrap around his waist. Immediately, that face that he would never forget came into his eyes. "Xia En, long time no see." Lyra said softly. There was a gentle smile on her lips, and there was joy and excitement in her eyes, but there was also a hint of sadness that could not be hidden. Such an expression was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the joy in Xia En''s heart. Because, at the moment of contact with her. Xia En judged - The woman in front of her is not the real, living Laila, but also a projection of [Great Yan]''s memory. But even so, being able to see Laila again was enough to make Shane full of emotions. at the same time. Laila looked at Camus not far away, her expression turning cold again. "You don''t have the qualifications to hurt a man in front of me." Seeing Laila easily blocking his full blow, Camus felt intense vigilance in his heart. "Where did the pure-blood elf come from?" "Isn''t the elven clan already extinct?" "And, this breath..." Before Camus could think too much, Laila''s fingertips touched him lightly. An extreme sense of crisis ensued. (End of chapter) Chapter 383 [Laws of Space and Time] and [Comrade] Chapter 383 [Laws of Space and Time] and [Comrade] Pointed in front of me. It''s obviously just a slender finger. But it gave Camus a feeling that he couldn''t defeat it despite all his efforts. "This is?" Camus was horrified. I just felt that as this finger came closer, everything around me slowed down. The air became stagnant and thick, making breathing difficult. The scale of time is constantly being lengthened. During this long period of time. Camus still couldn''t do anything. He could only watch helplessly as Laila''s blow fell on him. And in the eyes of everyone. But a shocking change took place in Camus. I saw. The silver armor on Camus'' body became pale and dark at a speed visible to the naked eye. It gives people an old and vicissitudes of texture. Its like At this moment, it experienced a very long period of erosion. So much so that the entire armor became tattered. The most obvious place. It was the waist that was hit by Xia En before. Due to the fragmentation of a key chip. The stability and self-healing power of this armor are greatly reduced. And in this waist and abdomen, one after another, large and small cracks naturally appeared. And finally. Under the erosion of this time. These cracks became the starting point for the armor to collapse. It is different from the previous shattering of the dark ice crystal body. The collapse of this armor is more like what happens when some kind of machinery ages and becomes obsolete. Changes that should have taken place over decades or hundreds of years were condensed into just a few seconds. The metallic coating on its surface keeps peeling off. Each part lost its original function and separated from the armor. Soon, Camus was revealed under the armor. At this time, Camus seemed particularly fragile. Like a little girl who was forcibly stripped of her clothes. Not only that. The wash of the power of time also acted on him. In the blink of an eye, Camus changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, and then to an old man with gray hair. "No! This is impossible..." Camus''s dim old eyes widened and he looked at his hands in disbelief. The hands were no longer smooth and elastic, but were covered with wrinkles like dead wood. There are also large and small age spots scattered around. The skin adheres tightly to the knuckles, like dried chicken feet. There is no doubt that these are hands that only old people have. Such a sight undoubtedly broke Camus''s defenses. He could not accept that he suddenly changed from a prime man to a dying old man. After letting out a scream. Camus'' body fell slowly, his heart stopped beating silently, and he lost his life. "He...is dead?" Xia En couldn''t help but look at this scene in surprise. Camus, who was so arrogant just now and made them miserable and difficult to defeat, died like this? Moreover, he died in such an incredible way. It''s almost like he died of old age. "Is this...the power of time?" Soon, Xia En vaguely saw something. Of course he has not forgotten that when Laila was at level 6, the field she mastered was related to time. At this time, Laila''s realm has entered the stage of legend. It is not difficult to surmise that Laila may have mastered the law of time! It goes without saying how powerful the law of time is. Among all the laws, these are probably the top ones. But even so. It directly caused Camus in front of him to change from a young man to an old man, and then to die of old age. It also seems a little too incredible. Doesn''t that mean that Laila can kill every enemy he encounters in this way? Seemingly sensing Xia En''s suspicion, Laila explained. "It''s not that powerful." "What I just used was just an illusion of time." "It''s just that in our perception, the process of his aging is simulated." As long as he waits for a moment, he will find that his body has returned to its original state. "But obviously, his body is weaker than I expected, and that''s why I was scared to death." Simulate the passage of time? Shane was thoughtful. Compared to actually manipulating time, simulation is obviously simpler. Laila continued: "Moreover, this trick is not so effective when encountering a legendary strongman who also controls the power of law." "It has never been a simple matter to truly change the flow of time and reverse time and space." "I see." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly came to his senses. At this time, he also noticed something. Although Camus has legendary strength, he does not seem to have mastered the power of matching laws. It''s also possible. His power of law is more focused on research, which leads to his weakness in combat. However, from Laila''s words, Shane also heard another message. Laila only said that changing the flow of time was not simple, not that she couldn''t do it. It''s obvious. After experiencing the precipitation of time, Laila may be stronger than Shane expected. Looking at Laila who was no longer a girl in front of her. Xia En had countless things to say in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he only said one sentence. "How have you been these past few years?" Laila smiled and said softly. "Not too good, but not too bad either." Looking at her smile, Xia En''s mood was extremely complicated. [Great Yan Kingdom] was in an era where hundreds of years had passed since the elves disappeared. But Laila appeared in this cold underground hall. This shows that she did not go to a [secret realm] that Xia En didn''t know about yet like other elves. Instead, he continued to travel on the mainland. As for the purpose of her travels, Xia En naturally knew it well. King Xin was never the only one who wanted to prevent the disaster of annihilation and fight against [Humi Siming]. After witnessing the arrival of [God''s Wrath] with Xia En. Laila set this goal in her heart. For this reason, she had to give up her identity as the Elf Queen and embark on a journey that lasted hundreds of years. Moreover, it is different from the situation before when the Elf Kingdom still existed. Although Laila cannot return to her hometown. But at least I know that my hometown is always there, and I will have a sustenance in my heart. But later, with the migration of elves. There are almost no others like Laila in the entire [Seven Seas World], and the harbor of the soul no longer exists. No one would understand what Laila did. What kind of loneliness is this? How many hardships has she experienced along the way? Just thinking about this, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but twitch slightly. In fact, Xia En still has many questions to ask. But at this time. On the other side of the hall, the battle between Augustine and the two [Black Flame Walkers] has come to an end. After merging, the Black Flame brothers indeed possess a power close to the eighth level. But under their fierce attack, Augustine still did not show signs of decline. At most, they are only slightly at a disadvantage. And the problem is. After all, the combination of the two brothers has a time limit. When a ghost began to appear on him and he became vaguely unstable, it was time for Augustine to fight back. Take advantage of this opportunity. Augustine''s eyes suddenly burst into light. The already profound momentum was rising again, as vast as the sea. He held his hands in vain. In the air, an indescribable sword slowly emerged. The blade of this big sword is extremely broad and thick, with two sides bladed, and its surface is engraved with waves-like patterns. It exudes a little dark blue halo, looking mysterious and thick. The moment this big sword appeared. Everyone present seemed to be able to hear the sound of the waves. Read the original text in Liu#9@/! It felt like a whistling, salty sea breeze blew across their faces. "This is the legendary...big sword [Wang Yang]." A flash of wonder flashed in Laila''s eyes. and explained to Shane. "This big sword is Augustine''s exclusive weapon." "I accompanied him through the first years of the founding of the [Pirate Principality]." "It is said that whoever holds this sword on the sea can call upon the power of the entire sea. It can be said that one person controls the power of heaven." "Although this is just an existence he imitated based on his memory, it also has one-tenth of the power of the original [Wang Yang]." While he was speaking, Augustine had already raised the big sword high. The illusory sound of the waves became more and more turbulent, and gradually converged into one sound. Single yet deafening. "Drink!" Accompanied by Augustine''s soft drink. He poured all his strength into this sword, and his arms suddenly exerted force. The big sword cut through the air and slashed downwards. From the perspective of the combined Black Flame brothers. This sword has transcended its original form and transformed into something more powerful and terrifying. At this moment. They seemed to be on a vast ocean. In front of them was a huge wave, hundreds of meters high, heading towards them. The sight itself is enough to crush a person''s courage to resist. The moment they regained consciousness, the two brothers only had time to make a blocking gesture before they were hit by such a huge wave. Just with the power of this sword, the two brothers were split into two again, and their bodies were shot away. "puff!" The two people who landed on the ground suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and their breaths were visibly weakened. Being forcibly knocked out of the combined state will cause more serious damage. It can be seen. Although the brothers were safe for the time being, they had lost the ability to fight again. And after defeating the two of them. Augustine turned his indifferent eyes to Xia En and others. Xia En frowned slightly. Theoretically speaking, Augustine has completed the task of the "spell" just now and should temporarily regain consciousness. But now. Instead of diminishing, his hostility has become more intense? What''s going on? Lelazer looked towards the place where the previous researcher died. At this time, the two remaining gems on the corpse''s wrist shattered one after another, exerting some kind of restraining force on Augustine. Seeing this scene, the remaining [Truth Society] members couldn''t help but change their expressions. "not good!" one of them exclaimed. "When the holder of the [Token Stone] dies, the [Token Stone] will automatically activate and issue an order to the experimental subject to eliminate all nearby life forms." "Not just the enemy, he won''t let us go either!" As if to support his statement. Augustine cast his gaze in the direction of the members of the [Truth Society]. immediately. His body seemed to disappear into thin air. And when they appeared again, the heads of several [Truth Society] members had already fallen to the ground. Not only that. Xia En also saw that Augustine''s sword seemed to contain the power to kill souls. That is to say. These members of the [Truth Society] were not only killed by their projections in the [Great Flame], but most of their bodies were also killed. The first move is a cruel and decisive killing move. And it is Augustine''s primary target. visible. In Augustine''s subconscious, he had long wanted to kill these [Truth Society] members quickly. Therefore, he would be the first to kill them the moment the restrictions were lifted. In less than a moment. All the remaining members of the [Truth Society] were killed and injured, leaving corpses on the ground. At this time, Augustine turned his attention to Xia En and others. The moment she met his eyes. Xia En suddenly felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression. At this moment, he seemed to be facing the entire vast sea! In the past, Shane was mostly on the same side as Augustine, so the feeling was not that strong. This is when he truly became an enemy of Augustine. Only then did he understand that the so-called "king" was by no means something that could only be achieved with just one title. And just then. A flash of struggle flashed across Augustine''s face. Some clarity of reason temporarily returned to him. First of all, Augustine looked at Xia En with some surprise and said softly. "Have I... seen you somewhere?" Xia En was suddenly shocked. When Augustine was still young, he once visited the Emerald Isle. There, he happened to experience a certain [God''s Wrath] coming with Xia En. Strictly speaking. That was also the first meeting between Shane and Augustine. But Xia En didn''t expect that the created Augustine in front of him actually knew about this. Come to think of it, the [Truth Society] also reproduced most of Augustines memories. after all. Memory is the foundation of a person''s personality. If his memory were modified, Augustine may not have the understanding of everything in the world, nor may he have such powerful power. Subsequently. Augustine looked at Laila next to Shane again. "...I''ve seen you too." "I even remember your name." "Is your name Laila?" "Strange, why do I feel that I am particularly close to you, and even have an unreasonable trust in you?" Looking at Augustine in front of him. There was a flash of sympathy and anger in Lyra''s eyes. "Augustin, that''s because..." "We were comrades determined to save the world." "Those who share the same goals are called comrades!" "Comrade...?" Augustine chewed the word silently, his eyes lighting up slightly. But the next moment. The power of [Token Stone] came again, trying to control his body and drive him to kill the enemy in front of him. A strong struggle flashed across Augustine''s face. "I can''t control myself anymore." Augustine said seriously. "It''s up to you, my former comrades, to give me the final relief." "...please." (End of chapter) Chapter 384 The secret of [Eternal Coffin] Chapter 384 [The Secret of the Eternal Coffin] While saying this sentence. The effectiveness of the so-called [Order Stone] in the mouth of [Truth Society] members came to Augustine again. His expression gradually became indifferent and cold. His original humanity was being stripped from his soul. Seeing this, Laila sighed softly. "I''ll help you out." After saying that, Laila no longer hesitated and pointed directly towards Augustine. The power of time and space appears again. Like a viscous liquid, it wrapped around Augustine''s body. But this time. The effect of [Token Stone] took full effect. Augustine no longer sat still and waited for death. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he began to struggle violently. The sound of undulating waves echoed around him again. The surrounding air seemed to have turned into a vast sea. Terrible power is accumulating. Seeing this, Xia En also vaguely understood The laws that Augustine mastered were probably related to the "sea" and "ocean". sea. Compared to time, this thing seems unremarkable. This is a common sight in this world. The upper limit seems to be extremely limited. But you must know that common does not mean ordinary. Besides, in this world. [Secret Sea] can also be regarded as a type of sea. on the other hand. The same law, used by different mystics, can produce completely different effects. In the hands of Augustine, the law "the sea" symbolizes the vast and all-encompassing power. At this time, as the power of this law operates. The power of time and space that Laila invested seemed to be drawn into a terrifying whirlpool composed of the sea. It was like a huge millstone, constantly devouring and consuming her power. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly and was ready to take action. But at this time, Laila said. "Xia En, leave this battle to me." "You can take this opportunity to observe the confrontation of the power of law. This will be of great benefit to your promotion to legend in the future." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately calmed down. A faint light flashed in the [Peering Eye of Secrets], and he carefully observed the battle between the two. If it were anyone else, Xia En might think this was nonsense. But since it was Laila who said it, he naturally chose to believe it first and then believe it. At this moment, in the field of vision of [The Eye of Peeping Secrets]. Two completely different laws are engaged in a conflict that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The law of time and space belonging to Laila is like a big net, sealing Augustine in it. Augustine''s law of the sea constantly involves this force in his own domain, with a vague tendency to assimilate it. If it is a general secret power. Maybe he would have been swallowed up by the illusory sea condensed by Augustine in the first place. But obviously. Laila''s power of time and space exists at the same level as him. This makes... although the power of time and space is involved, there is no tendency to be crushed. It''s like... A stone mill can grind grains, but it is almost impossible to grind harder diamonds together. Quite the opposite. When this extremely hard impurity is mixed into the grinding disc. Its own operation will cause certain lags and even serious wear and tear. Just like this time. After the sea realm shaped by Augustine involved Lyra''s power of time and space. Instead, the entire field has gradually become stagnant and dull. It''s like a precision instrument with several disruptive gears jammed into it. Most people simply cannot see the details of this confrontation with the power of law. But in Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets], the power of two distinct laws is clearly presented. And faintly. Shane can also see some more mysterious things that are difficult to describe in words. It seemed like the two had different perceptions of the power of the law. Or like...a brand unique to them? brand? Suddenly, a kind of enlightenment arose in Xia En''s heart. The so-called essence of achieving legend and mastering the power of law may be... leaving a trace of one''s own on the [Great Law]. Only in this way can the legendary mystics be recognized by the [Great Law] and thus master the power beyond ordinary mystics. Because the [Great Law] is a rule that transcends the restrictions of the Secret Realm and spreads throughout the [Secret Sea]. It naturally possesses a very high level and level. When the mystical person leaves a mark on it, it is equivalent to completing the sublimation of one''s own spirituality and no longer being a mortal being. This is why there is such an insurmountable gap between legends and non-legends. Strictly speaking. Xia En was able to defeat the legendary strong man because he mastered the incredible ability of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets] by witnessing the [Great Law]. It can be regarded as using the [Great Law] to defeat the [Great Law]. On the other hand. By watching the two fight. Xia En also discovered that the degree of understanding of different laws determines the depth of the imprint left by the legendary strongman on the [Great Law]. Perhaps this is why there is such a huge gap in strength between the two beings who are both legends. If in the case of fighting Augustine. Shane certainly wouldn''t have been able to discover these details. But for now. However, Laila created an excellent viewing environment for him, allowing him to clearly and truly witness this legendary battle. This is how these realms of legends and laws exist. Xia En naturally saw Laila''s good intentions. He couldn''t help but look at her gratefully. I have to say, it seems good to have a soft meal once in a while? And while Xia En was observing from the side. The battle situation on the field quickly evolved into a fierce situation. Under the control of Lyra and Augustine. The collision between the two forces of law became more intense, so much so that entities appeared in the air. There was a vaguely slender and elegant giant dragon emerging, confronting the sea below. I saw waves of turbulent waves sweeping across the sea, as if they could swallow all the ships in them. But when those huge waves approached the giant dragon, they involuntarily stopped. This is obviously the effect of the power of time and space. The next moment. The waves were scattered by the dragon''s claws. It seems that no matter how strong the wind and waves are, it cannot shake its figure. "It''s time to end this." Lyra sighed. Then, a flash of emerald green light flashed in her eyes, and she held her left hand forward. Buzz A faint vibration came from somewhere in the hall. Xia En turned around and looked, slightly startled. Because the direction from which the vibration came was none other than the location of the [Eternal Coffin] in the deepest part of the icy hall! And with that coffin. Constant vibration. Rise upward. Until then. Only then did Xia En truly see what this [Eternal Coffin] looked like. Immediately, Xia En couldn''t help but widen his eyes and froze on the spot. At the same time, huge waves surged in my heart. Because... that [Eternal Coffin] has a crystal-like shell. It is completely clear and transparent, emitting an indescribable mysterious halo. Its appearance is exactly the same as the crystal coffin carrying ghost lady Vivian on the Black Swan! That is to say. The [Truth Society] has been pursuing so hard and paid such a huge price to obtain the [Eternal Coffin], but it was actually on Xia En''s ship from the beginning? And has it sailed with the [Black Swan] for such a long time? Xia En was shocked in his heart and muttered to himself. "The crystal coffin is the [Eternal Coffin]?" "My previous suspicion is actually true?" "Then what kind of existence is Vivian among them?" Suddenly knowing the truth, even Xia En''s thoughts were a little confused. Actually. 69BookBar Xia En had such a suspicion when he saw the imitation [Eternal Coffin]. But at the time, he felt that this conjecture was a bit outrageous, so he rejected it directly. And now. The [Eternal Coffin] driven by Laila completely confirmed his guess. at this time. Laila didn''t have time to pay attention to Xia En''s suspicion, but directly summoned the [Eternal Coffin] in front of her. Immediately, an extremely terrifying force of ice dissipated. "This is?" Xia En was shocked at first, and then suddenly realized. Xiao Wan had said before that the prisoners of the [People of Ice and Snow] all had devices that could extract the secret power of ice. Moreover, King Xin will also let them deliver a portion of the ice-cold secret power on a regular basis. But now it seems that those icy secret powers have undoubtedly been transported into this [Eternal Coffin] and stored. Perhaps, its role in this research institute is to be a container for storing the secret power of ice. And at this time. However, Laila used it as a killing move to help Augustine in front of her escape. Soon, in Laila''s hands, the [Eternal Coffin] opened a tiny gap. The cold power that seemed to be able to freeze everything flowed out like this. However. This icy force was not aimed at the sea area around Augustine. It''s her own power of time. Shane was a little surprised at first. But soon, he understood Laila''s intention. I saw that the power of freezing, along with Laila''s own power of time, was connected with the secret powers that penetrated into the sea realm. Naturally, he invaded Augustine''s domain. The power to freeze time, blessed by the power of ice, burst out with unexpected miraculous effects. More and more frozen traces began to emerge from the air around Augustine, and quickly expanded inward. Just with Lyra''s power of time and space, Augustine''s domain cannot be completely ruled out. Not to mention, this sudden addition of ice-cold power. In the blink of an eye. Time and space around him seemed to have stopped. It was hard to move anymore. There is no doubt that this is a "dying" situation. When these two forces spread to Augustine''s body, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He opened his mouth slightly, his lips moving slightly. That mouth shape seems to be saying... "Thanks!" Then, there were no surprises. The power of freezing invaded Augustine''s heart, causing his heart to stop beating. This clone, controlled by the [Truth Society], died completely like this. Looking at Augustine''s body in front of him. Xia En was not in a happy mood. He could see that Augustine did not have a particularly strong will to fight in this battle. Rather, Augustine''s battle was originally to seek relief. In addition, this body is not his true body. It is reasonable that he will be defeated by Laila. What made Xia En feel heavy. Since there is such a title as "B5". It means that in front of him, there are "No. B4", "No. B3", and even a copy with the sequence A. When I think about it, I will have to go through several similar battles in the future. Xia En''s mood was not relaxed at all. at the same time. Not far away, the Great Elder who came to the hall with members of the [Truth Society] and several [People of Ice and Snow] had all been subdued by Jian, An Bing and others. They all stayed where they were like quails. Although there was anger in their eyes, they could only be helpless and furious. Even Augustine, who defeated two Great Yan legends, fell into the hands of Laila. Where do they have room to resist? Shane only glanced at these people and then turned his attention to Laila beside him. Until then. He could finally ask the doubts in his heart. Shanes first question is "Laila, why are you here?" Laila didn''t hide it, but said it directly. "Here''s the thing." "In order to find a way to prevent the catastrophe of annihilation, I traveled almost across the entire continent." Finally, I found some faint hope in this [far north]. "The king of [Great Yan Kingdom] proposed an idea." "So I decided to help him give it a try." Laila narrated slowly. But behind the calm tone, there is a story that is difficult to measure in words. "However, I did not reveal my true identity to him, but only temporarily lent him this [Eternal Coffin]." "And when I realized that the [Eternal Coffin] was touched by someone, I came here with the help of the teleportation circle engraved on it." Looking at Xia En in front of her, Laila sighed quietly. "But now I also know that King Xin''s plan has probably failed, right?" "Because, even the person I am here is just a phantom projected by memory. Hearing this, Xia En was shocked. From Laila''s previous attitude. He had also guessed that Laila might already know his current situation. But when he heard Laila say this in person, his mood was particularly complicated. It''s not easy to meet each other. But he discovered that he was not the real body at this time. It must be uncomfortable to feel like this, right? Xia En suppressed his complicated emotions and looked at the [Eternal Coffin] standing in front of him. At this time, through the translucent coffin wall. It can be seen that the coffin is empty, with nothing in it. It was not the place where Vivian''s bones were placed, as it was in later generations. So Xia En couldn''t help but ask. "...This [Eternal Coffin] again?" Laila answered directly. "Actually, the [Eternal Coffin] is a relic from another world line." "It comes from... a destroyed [Seven Seas World]." (End of chapter) Chapter 385 Another possibility of history Chapter 385 Another possibility of history "Another world line?" "The destroyed world of the Seven Seas?" Hear these words. Even Xia En, who thought he was mentally prepared, was still stunned. "What does this mean?" Laila didn''t seem to know where to explain it better, so she asked. "First of all, Captain Shane, do you know what the world line means?" Shane nodded. There is such a concept in various science fiction works that I came into contact with in my previous life. Different world lines often refer to... The result of a certain major event in history led to a different ending in the world. Give an example. Suppose Shane refused Joey''s request to get on the boat when he first went to sea. Then there will be a world line in which Shane does not know Joey. After that, there won''t be any intersection in his and Joey''s lives. certainly. Such small personal matters often do not affect the situation of the entire world. But if there are deviations in those crucial events, the situation will be very different. For example... King Xin failed to prevent the great flood from coming to the world line! Seeing that Xia En understood what she meant, Laila spoke. "Captain Shane, have you ever thought about..." "In another possibility of history, King Xin not only failed to prevent the coming of the world-destroying flood, but also failed to reduce its power." "As a result, the world-destroying flood washed away the [Seven Seas World] without reservation." "The sea level of the entire world has reached an incredible height." Laila said with a serious expression, as if she had witnessed such a scene with her own eyes. "In that world, even the number of islands is very few. It can be called a real ''blue water world''." "This also means the complete demise of human civilization." "Even if there are still some survivors in that world." "But because the number is too rare and is gradually declining, it can no longer be regarded as a complete civilization." "This is what I mean by the destroyed [Seven Seas World]." Hearing these words, Xia En couldn''t help but hold his breath. Have to admit. The other possibility Lila spoke of did exist. After all, in Shane''s opinion. King Xin sealed the great flood, which was an incredible feat. At this stage, if any problem occurs, it may lead to the collapse of the plan. Just quickly. Another question popped up in Shane''s mind. If the [Eternal Coffin] is a relic from another world line. Then how did Laila know about the existence of another world line and obtain this [Eternal Coffin]? Shane simply asked Laila this question directly. Leila explained. "Actually, I don''t know the specific reason." "But when I was promoted to Legend, I vaguely felt that there was something calling me in the [Secret Sea]." "So, after performing a complex and precise ritual." "I successfully summoned that thing. This is the origin of this [Eternal Coffin]." "The moment I touched this coffin, the corresponding information automatically appeared in my mind." "That''s how I learned about the existence of another world line." "As for why this [Eternal Coffin] is calling me..." "Think about it, maybe it has something to do with me in that world line?" "I see." Shane was thoughtful. Although Laila''s words still sound a bit fanciful, most people may not believe it at all. But Xia En believed that what he said was the truth. If another world line really exists. Then, Laila in that world will definitely try her best to prevent disaster before the [Seven Seas World] is destroyed. And this [Eternal Coffin] is most likely her last legacy. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but ask. "Laila, have you ever heard of the name Vivian?" Laila''s expression was a little strange and she said doubtfully. "Vivian... isn''t this our family''s last name?" "You mean, someone used it as a name?" "If that''s the case, then it''s probably just a code name or a pseudonym, right?" Xia En frowned slightly and asked again. "So, where is Nirvana?" Laila looked equally confused. "Nirvana, what is that?" "Sounds like a powerful character." After receiving such an answer, Xia En could not help but frown deeper. He originally thought that he could learn the origin of Vivian from Laila. But now it seems that even Laila doesnt know Vivians true identity? Seeing the change in Xia En''s expression, Laila thought about it and said. "Right now, I don''t know who the Vivian you are talking about is." "But if it''s another me created by [Great Yan], maybe it can give you the answer you want, right?" Hearing this, Xia En opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise. "Do you even know about the existence of [Great Flame]?" No wonder Xia En was so surprised. It can be said. The Laila in front of me and the other people in this memory scene are equivalent to the NPCs created by [Great Flame]. In theory, it will only act according to certain patterns and memories. The previous King Xin only vaguely noticed the abnormality in the space he was in, which already surprised Xia En. At this time, Laila was even aware of the existence of [Great Flame]. This is equivalent to a preset game where a character suddenly breaks the dimensional wall and speaks the name of the game maker. How does this not shock Shane? Laila smiled slightly and explained. "In fact, the fact that I know this is also related to the [Eternal Coffin]." "This relic has some characteristics that transcend time and space." "This also allows it to serve as an [anchor] for memory." "The other me created by [Great Flame] left this information in the [Eternal Coffin], allowing me to know their existence and the truth of this space." "Other you?" Xia En subconsciously repeated this sentence and quickly woke up. Yes. Since Laila once appeared in [Great Yan Country]. Then, it is very likely that she will appear in other memory scenes. Moreover, because different memory scenes occur at different times. Each Leila has different memories. Perhaps Laila who is further back in time will know Vivian''s true identity. To be honest, Shane still had many questions in his mind. But the situation at this time obviously did not allow him to ask all the questions. suddenly. boom! ! A dull loud noise suddenly came from above everyone''s heads. Immediately afterwards, the ground under people''s feet and the surrounding walls began to shake. It was like causing a terrible earthquake. "This is?" Xia En''s expression immediately became very solemn. He could feel that this kind of vibration seemed familiar. This is not only a shock to this underground research, but also an irreversible collapse of this entire memory space. But the problem is. They clearly haven''t destroyed the nodes in this scene yet? Laila saw Shane''s confusion and explained. "This is probably because the invasion of those members of the [Truth Society] attracted the attention of [Da Yan]." "Not only that, but the confrontation between strange legendary forces will also attract his attention." When Xia En heard this, he immediately understood. The [Butterfly Dream] technology used by the [Truth Society] is certainly extraordinary. But obviously there are no limitations. Simply put. [Great Flame] is not really unable to detect their arrival, it just requires a certain amount of reaction time. On the other hand. What Moritz said before about [Great Flame]''s restrictions on legends was also reflected at this time. 69BookBar It can allow existences below level six to enter. But he is wary of the legendary powerhouse. This is probably because the legendary Mystic Path may already pose a threat to Him. Think about it carefully. The reason why the condition of Augustine B5 appears to be abnormal. It seems that it was precisely because she was forcibly promoted to the legendary realm after entering [Great Flame]. Rather than arriving directly in the realm of legend. But even so, his battle with Laila still aroused [Da Yan]''s vigilance. Coupled with the existence of members of the [Truth Society], this memory scene collapsed at this time. At this time, Jane took a step forward. She first glanced at Laila, who was in front of her with a beautiful appearance and was obviously an elf. Then she looked at Xia En and said seriously. "Captain Shane, it''s time to eliminate the nodes in this scene." Shane fell into a brief silence. He naturally understood what Jane meant. The moment Laila appeared, the [Fire] in his arms immediately changed significantly. The hot temperature continued to accumulate in the wooden box, as if it was going to burn Xia En''s skin. With the experience of facing the salary king before. Xiao En still didn''t know that Laila in front of him was the key node of this memory scene. only. Xia En also wanted to ask her more questions and spend more time with her. That''s why he didn''t express his intention in the first place. But for now. Jane took the initiative to say this out, undoubtedly hoping that he could make a decision as soon as possible. Don''t waste precious time and put them in danger. Shane saw Jane''s intention. He also understood that this was not the time to reminisce about the past. Eliminating the nodes in front of you as soon as possible is the wisest choice. Reasonable to reason. When I thought about how hard it was for me to finally see Laila again, I had to say goodbye right away. This feeling is really melancholy. At this time, Laila took the initiative to speak. "You are here just to destroy the undead [Great Yan], right?" "Xia En, don''t hesitate anymore." "Besides, didn''t I promise you?" "I will definitely meet you again in the future, and it will not be in this phantom form of the past, but in real terms, in reality." "So, don''t worry or be sad, please continue to move forward and complete your mission." With that said, Laila gently pushed the [Eternal Coffin] forward. "Although this [Eternal Coffin] is just a fake created by [Great Flame]." "But it also has my mark on it." "Perhaps, you can use this as an [anchor] to find me in other memory scenes." "There''s only so much I can do." Looking at Laila''s calm and gentle expression. Xia En sighed softly in his heart, but he also suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. Without hesitation, he took out the [Fire] directly from his arms. Push forward slightly. In the light of [fire]. Laila''s body gradually faded, as if it was constantly melting and fading, taking on a translucent texture. She waved gently towards Xia En and whispered softly. "We...see you in the future." After a while. Laila''s figure disappeared, and Shane''s heart felt empty. Even though he knew that the Laila in front of him was not her real body. But seeing Laila disappear with his own eyes also made him feel uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Xia En turned around and looked at An Bing not far away, a look of sympathy flashed in his eyes. Maybe not too long ago. Did An Bing have a similar mood when he saw King Xin disappear? But now is obviously not the time to be sentimental. Because, with Laila''s disappearance. This scene has lost its supporting nodes. The vibrations that had occurred before became more intense. Cracks began to appear from the dome of the hall. Small rocks kept falling from above. Xia En suddenly showed a solemn expression. Obviously, this underground research institute is already in danger and is on the verge of collapse at any time. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to escape from the institute under such circumstances. Just now. But Xia En suddenly remembered what Laila said before she disappeared. "[Eternal Coffin]...[Anchor Point]..." Xia An opened his eyes wide, suddenly realized something, and said to everyone. "Come here, everyone, and stay with me." Jane was also aware of it and looked at the [Eternal Coffin] with a gap open in front of her. Wait until An Bing comes to his side. Xia En stretched out his hand and gently opened the lid of the [Eternal Coffin]. The next moment. An irresistible attraction came from it. Suction Xia En and others into the coffin. Wait until you open your eyes again. The world around him has completely changed. After the short-term dizziness subsides. Shane opened his eyes and began to look around. I saw that the nearby scene was no longer a cold underground hall. Rather, it is a town above the surface. It can be seen that the state of the town is quite primitive and crude. Under the gray sky, there are stone roads laid out randomly. On both sides of the road, houses made of piled stones stand staggered. With only hay as filler in the gaps, it looked extremely shabby. There were very few people on the streets. At this time, two residents happened to be walking towards me. The two men were sallow and thin, wearing tattered animal skin clothes, and their faces were red from the cold. It seems that he noticed the arrival of "Xia En". The two people''s faces suddenly showed alert and strange expressions. "Who are you?" "What''s that on your back?" Um? Shane was stunned for a moment. He shouldn''t be carrying anything behind him. After thinking about it carefully, Xia En suddenly realized that the situation was abnormal. (End of chapter) Chapter 386 The reborn me is the [Eternal Coffin]? Chapter 386: The reborn me is [Eternal Coffin]? The first abnormality that Xia En noticed was He obviously didn''t move, but his perspective was still moving forward. And feel it carefully for a moment. Xia En was shocked to find that he couldn''t even feel the existence of his eyes, limbs, or even body! Its like His body was fixed in a closed space. You can only passively observe everything in the outside world. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a bold and ridiculous conjecture. "Am I... now in the [Eternal Coffin]?!" It was the movement of the [Eternal Coffin] that caused his perspective to change. Realizing this possibility, Xia En felt weird at first, and then couldn''t help but feel a little worried. after all. He entered the [Eternal Coffin] together with Jane, Carles, and An Bing. But at this time, Xia En did not sense their presence. So where exactly were they transported to? And is it safe? However, on the other hand. Shane''s intuition told him that there was a high probability that Carles and others would be safe. Or rather. He was actually the only one who really fell into this weird situation. Then again. At the moment, even if Xia En is worried about Carles and the others, he doesn''t have the energy to do anything. Who made him lose the ability to act independently at this time? I can only watch the development of external events. After trying hard for a moment. Shane finally found a way to adjust his perspective. then. He shifted his perspective in front of himself and suddenly realized. It turns out that there is a slightly petite body underneath him. And even though the other person was wearing a black robe and a hood, Xia En could still identify him at a glance She is none other than Laila who just disappeared in front of him! Xia En suddenly felt happy and suddenly understood his situation. It is certain that he is currently inside the [Eternal Coffin]. His perspective at this time is exactly that of the [Eternal Coffin]. That is to say. What he is experiencing now is probably what happened on the [Eternal Coffin] in the past. Thinking about it carefully, Laila mentioned the "Eternal Coffin" as an anchor point, probably for this reason. Xia En''s mood suddenly felt strange. "What''s this?" "The reborn me is the [Eternal Coffin]?" Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, Xia En focused on the scene in front of him. It''s not hard to see. The town in front of you should be located somewhere in the [Great Yan Kingdom]. However, its time point is much earlier than the prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom] in later generations. That''s why it looks so barren and backward. It is full of the unique bitter cold style of [the Far North]. The reason why Laila was alerted and questioned was also very simple. Her figure is already considered tall among women, but compared to this [Eternal Coffin], she still looks a bit petite and slender. Carrying such a huge coffin. No matter how you look at it, it looks suspicious, and it''s hard not to attract the attention of others. At this time. Xia En was also keenly aware of something. [Eternal Coffin], it seems that it cannot be placed in relics such as space rings? This may be because it contains certain laws of space and time within itself, which are mutually exclusive with space devices. This resulted in Laila having to carry it on her back and move forward alone. And the days of walking alone in a coffin like this may take hundreds of years to measure. Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly remembered the strange behavior of the members of the Truth Society before. Lets not talk about whether the special space ring in his hand can fit the [Eternal Coffin] into it. To know. The [Eternal Coffin] in that memory scene was clearly just a fake created by Dayan. Isn''t the real body still located on Shane''s Black Swan? Why would members of the Truth Society attach so much importance to a counterfeit and send so many people to seize it? Shane still remembers. When he was about to touch the [Eternal Coffin], the member called it "The key to the new world?" What does this mean? The more he thought about it, the more doubts Xia En had. But now, the development of the situation in front of him attracted Xia En''s attention. After hearing the two people''s questions. Laila asked back: "Is this the [Great Yan Country]?" "It''s really a remote and desolate place." Hearing her voice, the two town residents looked at each other in surprise. "woman?" "And, you actually know the name [Great Yan Country]?" "It''s only been half a year since King Xin announced the founding of the country, right?" Half a year may not be a short time for a person. But for a country, it is just the beginning. It''s like a newborn baby. Not to mention, the [Great Yan Kingdom] Sea is located in a place like [The Far North] far away from the Southern Continent. The flow of information is extremely limited. Many kingdoms on the continent may not even know that such a country has been quietly established. At this time, the two immediately saw Laila''s identity as an outsider. after all. There are only so many residents in their small town. Almost everyone is an acquaintance. When such a suspicious-looking man in black robe suddenly appeared, he could naturally tell this immediately. Although I can see that Laila is a lonely foreign woman. But neither man had any inappropriate thoughts in his mind. Its not because [Dayan Country] has simple folk customs and kind-hearted people. But simply because... They know that the person who can cross the wasteland and come to the [Far North] alone cannot be some weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. The more eccentric people look like this, the more they cannot afford to offend them. but. As men in this small town, it is impossible for them to remain indifferent to Laila''s actions. Just these days. In other areas of [Great Yan Kingdom], there were several **** massacres. These residents were so frightened that they did not even dare to go out. Only then did they maintain a high degree of vigilance against outsiders. Even though he was a little uneasy, after hesitating for a moment, one of the town residents still asked. "Madam, what do you want to do when you come to our town?" Laila said directly without hiding her purpose. "I came to [Great Yan Country] to look for the King of Salary." "Excuse me, which city is Xinxiang located in now?" "Is there a map of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]? I can trade it for supplies or money." Hearing this, the two couldn''t help but breathed a sigh of relief. Able to communicate and express one''s intentions directly, indicating... There is a high probability that this outsider is not the same person as the murderer who massacred several towns. Otherwise. The other party wouldn''t talk nonsense with them, they would just go on a killing spree. However, facing Laila''s problem. Both of them had a slightly embarrassed look on their faces. "Madam, we are just residents of this remote town." "Where do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Xinwang?" "But I heard that King Xin seems to be building a city called ''Fanyan'' recently." "You can try your luck there." "As for where Fanyan City is, we don''t know." After listening, Laila was not discouraged and nodded. "I see." As if they felt that Laila''s attitude was more friendly, the expressions of the two small town residents softened slightly and were not as stiff as they were at the beginning. One of them kindly reminded me. "Girl, I don''t know what you want from King Salary? "But now, our [Great Yan Kingdom] has just been established, and King Xin must be busy with a lot of things." "It''s not that easy to meet him. You have to be mentally prepared." Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! Lyra smiled. "Don''t worry, the last thing I lack is patience." From the perspective of [Eternal Coffin], Xia En curled his lips and smiled knowingly. As an elf of immortality. Laila is indeed qualified to say such things. Seeing the outsider''s resolute attitude, the residents of the two towns stopped trying to persuade him and gave him another reminder. "By the way, girl, the [Great Yan Kingdom] is not peaceful recently." "There are many unidentified thugs running around in various towns and committing many horrific murders." "Some towns don''t even have a single person left alive, so you have to be careful." After hearing this, Xia En immediately woke up. In the underground research institute, he learned that the die-hards among the "People of Ice and Snow" not only secretly disobeyed King Xin''s orders, but also hid their identities and massacred innocent civilians and assassinated people in the "Great Yan Kingdom" all over the "Great Yan Kingdom". ] official. It''s obvious. It was exactly such an incident that these two town residents mentioned. Think about it now. King Xin used those [people of ice and snow] who committed capital crimes as experimental materials. It doesn''t seem that excessive. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This is the reason why King Xin did this. otherwise. How can we wash away the hatred of those innocent people of [Great Yan Kingdom]? at this time. After hearing the words of the two people, Laila did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he looked in a direction not far away. The two men didn''t know why. The person who reminded me before asked: "Girl, how..." Before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by his companion. The companion''s body trembled slightly, and he held his hand and retreated silently. Until then. No matter how dull this man was, he still noticed that something was wrong. After he turned his head to look in the direction of Laila''s gaze, he couldn''t help but feel his breath hitch. I saw. In the pale wasteland, a figure wearing **** clothes and a white mask came out from behind a hill. His clothes seemed to be stained red by blood, which was so red that it made people feel a little uncomfortable. There was also sticky blood dripping from the corners of his clothes. On the gray-white earth, there are spots of scarlet left behind. This shows that he just completed a massacre not long ago. That man exudes a fierce evil spirit all the time, which is enough to make the lower level secret path practitioners tremble with fear. "Haha...little girl, I originally planned to wait until you left before taking action." The middle-aged man smiled coldly. "But since you discovered my existence in advance, I have no choice but to kill you too." And the moment they see each other. Xia En''s mood also fluctuated momentarily. Because, even if the other person is wearing a mask on his face. Based on the aura emanating from the other party, he could also tell This masked man is the great elder of the [People of Ice and Snow] who was put on countless shackles not long ago and was imprisoned deep in the underground research institute. really. Just like what Xiaowan said, this great elder once massacred several towns in the country [Great Yan Kingdom]. And this unknown town was originally one of his targets. It was only the arrival of Laila that slightly disrupted his plan. At this moment. The two town residents clearly realized that the masked man was the recently active murderer, and their expressions suddenly changed. "Hurry, run away!" After leaving these words, they fled in a hurry. After all, there is a huge difference in strength between the two. Even if they stay here, they won''t be of any help. In response, the masked man, or rather the great elder, gave a cruel smile. "Run away. Anyway, you can''t escape from my grasp." A flash of violent pleasure appeared in his eyes. It can be said. He was admiring the fear and despair shown by these guys who had polluted the [Far North] while fleeing. But this time. The great elder glanced at Laila unexpectedly. "Why don''t you run away yet?" Laila gently placed the [Eternal Coffin] on the ground, and then said lightly. "You are the one who should run away." "Arrogant!" The great elder snorted coldly. Just the next moment. His figure turned into a blood shadow and came to Laila at a speed that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. Compared with the old man who was aging, weak and on the verge of death in that underground research institute. The great elder in front of him was undoubtedly at the peak of his strength. With just one move, the terrifying power of ice was crushing towards Laila from all directions. It was as if the entire space was to be completely frozen. However. What neither of the warring parties expected was this. At the moment when the ice-cold power surged over. [Eternal Coffin], which had been silent all this time, suddenly reacted. This crystal coffin opened a gap slightly, swallowing the ice-cold power of the great elder into it like a cow drinking from a whale. In the blink of an eye. The freezing coldness disappeared. Even after that, [Eternal Coffin] still vaguely exuded some unsatisfied emotions. As if to say, it wants more! "Um?" At this time, not to mention the great elder, even Laila, the holder of the [Eternal Coffin], showed an expression of surprise. This was also the first time she knew that this crystal coffin had such abilities. From the perspective of the [Eternal Coffin], Xia En only felt a cold power pouring into his body. Quite comfortable? Suddenly, a strange suspicion occurred in Xia En''s mind. Could it be said. Was it after this battle that Laila developed the ability of the [Eternal Coffin] to contain the power of ice? This kind of thing can''t help but make Xia En feel dumbfounded. At the same time, the battle in the field is not over yet. Although the great elder''s expression changed slightly due to this sudden change, he did not completely lose his fighting ability. He contained the secret power within his body and carefully attacked Laila. Seeing this, Laila drew out a slender sword and stabbed the great elder. (End of chapter) Chapter 387 The origin of [Prophecy of Destruction]! The origin of Chapter 387 [Prophecy of Destruction]! (Please give me a monthly ticket!) Look at this long sword with obvious elf style. Xia En was a little surprised. Because Laila had always given him the feeling that she was more of a mage than a warrior. But for now. Laila took out this elf sword as a weapon, which was a bit surprising. Only after this sword was thrust out. Xia En quickly saw the significance of this sword. Then, the long sword in Laila''s hand stabbed the great elder. The flow of time around the Great Elder seemed to have undergone extremely strange changes. Time began to accelerate as it approached the area of ????the long sword. And time away from the long sword becomes sluggish. This also created an extremely strange phenomenon In the eyes of the great elder. The speed of this sword was extremely fast, like lightning, and it was almost impossible to dodge. And from Lila''s perspective. The Great Elder''s movements were slowed down several times. Any evasive movements he made were clearly displayed in Laila''s eyes. It can be adjusted at any time according to the actions of the great elder. "What a powerful sword." Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little amazed in his heart. Slow down the enemy''s time. Accelerate your own time. This back and forth magnified the gap between the two to an extremely exaggerated level. This kind of combat skill achieved with the help of time flow can only be described as "incredible". It can be seen. At this point in time, Laila also has a very profound knowledge of the power of time and her own set of methods of using it. It is not a simple and mindless way to directly release this power. Think about it too. The Southern Continent of this era was still in a war-torn stage. Wars between various kingdoms occurred from time to time. Laila can travel the entire continent alone under such circumstances. Naturally, extraordinary strength is needed as the foundation. In the process of traveling, I have made great progress in using the power of time and space. at the same time. Facing this sword that seemed impossible to dodge no matter what. A flash of horror flashed through the eyes under the Great Elder''s mask. "How is that possible?" "How could it be so fast..." However, when the flow of time slowed down, it wasn''t just his movements that slowed down. Even his thinking became very slow. Therefore, when the great elder came up with this idea. Laila''s sword had already pierced into his chest. A "chi" sound. Blood splatters! However, the moment the pain is transmitted to the brain. The great elder was freed from that weird time turbulence. He groaned. The entire body shattered into countless tiny ice crystals in an instant. By the time they reunited, they had appeared dozens of meters away from Laila. This secret technique similar to "Ice Crystal Clone" is the specialty of [People of Ice and Snow]. Even so, there was still a big gap in the great elder''s chest. Although this wound was frozen by his ice-cold secret power, he would not die from excessive blood loss. But the hidden wounds left by this sword, as well as Laila''s unique secret power, still remain in the great elder''s body. at this time. The expression under the Great Elder''s mask was no longer as casual and arrogant as it was at the beginning, but instead became extremely solemn. "Where did this strange legend come from?" Through the previous confrontation, he had already judged the opponent''s strength and rank. This is definitely a strong person above the level of legend. This made him immediately restrain his previous cat-and-mouse mentality. In this era, the legendary strong man is by no means just a cabbage. Each legendary powerhouse has his own unique abilities and laws. A strange legend that suddenly appeared in [the Far North] naturally made the Great Elder extremely wary. And that weird coffin... If it is normal. The Great Elder had already fully opened his domain, covering Laila with a bone-chilling icy domain, thus creating a battle arena that was favorable to him. However, the coffin that swallowed the power of ice forced him to give up such plans. Just then. The great elder''s expression suddenly changed and he asked. "What did you do to my body?" With the perception of a legendary strong man, he quickly noticed My body seems to be... gradually aging? This surprised him. No one wants to age faster. Especially for a middle-aged man. Laila had no intention of explaining to the great elder, but just said lightly. "I said it." "You are the one who should run away." By this time, the Great Elder no longer regarded this sentence as a ridiculous nonsense. But I really felt the oppression from Laila. With a hint of gloom in his eyes, the Great Elder said coldly. "Then, let''s try this trick." The words just fell. A large ball of pale and hazy ice mist spread out with the Great Elder as the center, completely covering his figure, as if carrying a piercing murderous intent. Available at the first time. Laila sensed the great elder''s true intention. He wants to escape! At the moment when the ice mist spread. The figure of the masked man quickly retreated away from Laila. Although the anger in his heart continued to surge, being forced to run away was even more humiliating. But the great elder still made the most correct choice at the moment. first. His purpose was not this unknown and strange foreign legend. I will face each other just because of an accident. There is no need to fight to the death with Laila. on the other hand. Not that long ago. The great elder had just killed several [Black Flame Walkers]. Maybe, someone has already spread the news that he is here. It may attract other [Black Flame Walkers] and even King Xin to pursue him! It is definitely not a wise move to continue fighting with Laila here. As for face? At the age of the great elder, he no longer cares about such illusory things. From the perspective of [Eternal Coffin], Xia En couldn''t help but feel strange. In order to survive, this great elder would do anything. I have to say. From a warrior''s perspective, this may be a bit shameful. But if you regard it as an enemy. This kind of old guy who doesn''t care about face and uses any means is much more troublesome than those stupid young people who don''t know how to adapt. And Laila naturally would not let the Great Elder escape just like that. She took a step forward and stabbed three swords in the direction of the great elder''s escape. These three swords seemed to fall in the air in front of them. In fact, it traveled directly through space and hit the figure that was running away in a hurry. laugh! laugh! laugh! In an instant, three **** of blood exploded on the great elder''s neck, heart, and left waist. His fast-moving figure was stunned. The deepest of these three wounds was so deep that even the bones were visible. Even though the Great Elder immediately filled the wound with ice crystals, it still left a deep wound. Not to mention, the power of time and space attached to the sword once again invaded the great elder''s body. puff! A mouthful of blood spat out from under the mask. The Great Elder''s mood had changed from surprise to horror. Until then. Only then did he realize that this unknown legend was actually powerful enough to crush him! "Damn, damn, damn!" The great elder cursed crazily in his heart. "How could it be such an unlucky thing to meet such a powerful legendary man?" Despite this, he did not give up the opportunity to escape. While running, the great elder took out a silver pocket watch from his arms and channeled his secret power into it. A silver halo suddenly lit up from the pocket watch. Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! And it quickly spread throughout his body. It entered an extremely magical state. The state of the great elder''s entire body seemed to be frozen at that moment just now. Regardless of the injuries on his body or the power of time and space that Laila had invaded his body, they were all in a state of suspension. It won''t have any impact on him. at the same time. What keeps it frozen is its extremely fast speed. This does not mean that the great elder''s body stopped, but it means - He still maintained the same speed as before and fled away steadily. "Huh? This is..." Even Laila, who has profound knowledge in the field of time and space, couldn''t help showing a surprised expression when she saw this scene. She could tell that the Great Elder was in an intermediate state between stillness and movement. Clearly, the heartbeat, blood and even the flow of secret power in his body all stopped. But his body seemed to maintain some strange inertia and continued to move forward. It gives people a feeling...as if they are caught in time. Laila even felt that even if she attacked the Great Elder now, she would not be able to cause any harm to him, let alone kill him completely. Thinking of this, Laila simply put down the sword in her hand, stopped chasing the opponent, and murmured. "What a strange power of time and space..." "Is it the effect of that silver pocket watch?" On the other side. After witnessing all this, Xia En in the [Eternal Coffin] felt huge waves in his heart. "That''s...[a moment of time]?" "But why did it appear in the hands of the great elder of [People of Ice and Snow]?" And, this strange stillness. It is also very different from the "moment of time" in Xia En''s memory. Suddenly, Shane reacted. Who said that the great elder of the [Ice and Snow People] in front of me is just the great elder? Because of Xiaowan''s introduction, Xia En preconceivedly identified the man as the great elder of the "People of Ice and Snow". But maybe He did not hold the position of great elder from the beginning. Before becoming the great elder, this man might have been the patriarch of the [People of Ice and Snow]! Only then can you have the right to use [Instant Time]. What Xia En doesnt know is In history, this patriarch was killed precisely because of his battle with Laila. His vitality was severely damaged, and he had to temporarily step down as team leader and go into seclusion for training. After that, he became the great elder in Xiaowan''s mouth. As for this [moment of time], Xia En feels like... The "golden body" from a certain game in the previous life? Temporarily immune to any external or internal damage. only. In the "golden body" state of [Snap Time], the user can even move. The effect is quite incredible. This helped the Great Elder escape from Laila. Xia En took another look at Laila, who was looking thoughtful not far away, and suddenly came up with a bold guess - Laila, will it be related to the [Flash of Time] in later generations? after all. In Xia En''s perception, the entire [Seven Seas World]. The only secret person who breaks through the legend based on the law of time is Laila. If anyone can transform [Instant Time]. I''m afraid only Laila can do that. Not waiting for Xia En to continue thinking. Woo An atmospheric scream suddenly came from high in the sky. It was as if something was tearing through the air at extremely fast speeds and rushing in this direction. Shane adjusted his perspective slightly. Then he saw it in the gray-white sky. There is a hot and bright fireball falling towards this place. Like a meteorite breaking through the atmosphere. But Xia En knows that the stars in this world are actually the projections of other [Secret Realms] in the [Secret Sea] in the sky, and there are no real meteorites. And take a closer look. Only then did he see what kind of meteorite was there? And it was clearly a figure wrapped in flames! Through the tall and majestic figure, and the vast aura that followed. Xia En quickly recognized the other party''s identity. That is the king of [Great Yan Kingdom]King Xin! Only he can do it by turning into a meteorite like this. Laila narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up at the approaching fireball, seeming to be observing something. After a few breaths. King Xin slowed down his speed and landed in front of Laila. The King of Xin in this era was not as high-spirited as he was when he got married in later generations, nor was he as heavy as he was after awakening his memories. Instead, he showed a somewhat childish temperament. It is somewhat similar to the Yan Yan that Xia En is familiar with. After seeing the strange-looking Laila in front of me. King Xin asked warily: "Who are you?" "Who were you fighting again just now?" Just now, the battle between two legendary strongmen attracted the attention of King Xin. That''s why he rushed to the scene so quickly. "You are the salary king of [Great Yan Kingdom], right?" Laila said calmly. "Just now, a legendary strong man wearing a mask attacked me, and I was forced to fight back." "...Wearing a mask?" Upon hearing this feature, King Xin''s expression changed slightly and he asked. "In which direction did he escape?" For such a murderer who massacred his own people, King Xin naturally did not intend to let him go. The fact that he personally took action to arrest this shows that he attaches great importance to this matter. Laila pointed to the direction in which the great elder fled. "He should have fled far away." "However, he was seriously injured by me, and he probably won''t make another move during this period." "What?" King Xin couldn''t help but be a little surprised. He knew very well that the murderer was very powerful, and even several legendary [Black Flame Walkers] were defeated by that guy. But now. This mysterious man actually claimed to have seriously injured him? Surprised, King Xin''s intuition told him that the other party was not lying. So, he asked again. "Excuse me, what do you want to do when you come to [Great Yan Country]?" Laila said directly. "Actually, King Xin, I''m here to find you." "Looking for me?" King Xin raised his eyebrows: "What do you want from me?" Laila said slowly: "I came here to tell you a prophecy." "one" "Prophecy of the impending destruction of the world." (End of chapter) Chapter 388 Three meetings between Laila and King Xi Chapter 388 Lailas three meetings with King Xin (Happy New Years Eve!) "Prophecy of world destruction?" King Xin silently chewed on what Laila said, and the first emotion that emerged in his heart was naturally absurd. Anyone suddenly hears a stranger saying to themselves that the end of the world is coming. I''m afraid this will be the reaction. only. King Xin was King Xin after all, and he didnt just walk away because of Lailas ridiculous remarks. Coupled with the legendary realm and strength displayed by Laila. King Xin thought for a while and asked patiently. "Sir, are you serious?" "certainly." Laila''s tone was calm as she narrated. "In the not-too-distant future, there will be a great flood sweeping the entire world from [the Far North]." "Submerge most of the world''s land mass." "More than 90% of humanity will die in this disaster, and countless kingdoms will be completely destroyed." At this point, Laila looked at him with a slightly sympathetic look. "And the first one to bear the brunt is your [Great Yan Kingdom]." "What did you say?" King Xin frowned slightly, feeling that Laila''s words were getting more and more absurd. "What flood swept the world?" "And you are the first to arrive in [the Far North]?" If it were those generals with bad tempers under him, after hearing these alarmist words, they would be so angry that they would beat this man out directly. But King Xin''s temperament is relatively mild and friendly. After thinking for a moment, he asked first. "Your Excellency, are you a believer of the Netherworld Sect or other secret sects?" Obviously, King Xin regarded Laila as a follower of some evil god. I''m spreading some kind of doctrine to him! after all. In King Xin''s impression, the only ones who would be keen on spreading doomsday prophecies were the followers of these evil gods. Use the end of the world to trick others into joining the cult. This is also a very common method. Zaixin Wang wants to come. Next, Laila would explain to him the way to save the world and proclaim her Lord and Savior. But who knows, Laila shook her head at this time. "I''m not a believer in some evil god." "It would be better to say that the person who caused this world-destroying disaster was an alien **** from outside the [Seven Seas World]." The mere mention of His name may draw His attention. "So I can only tell you... He is a great commander!" "Da Siming?" Upon hearing this title, King Xin''s expression changed slightly. If Laila casually announced the name of an outside god, King Xin would be suspicious. However, he had actually seen the suffix "Si Ming" in an ancient book. Therefore, we know that they are some particularly powerful beings among the outer gods. He holds some incredible authority. But even so. The doomsday prophecies in Laila''s mouth are still too bizarre and alarmist. King Xin obviously couldn''t believe its existence so easily. So, he asked again. "So, where did you learn about this prophecy?" A look of nostalgia appeared on Laila''s face under the hood, and then she said. "This is what a person from the future told me." "Coupled with my verification, the source of this major flood was finally confirmed." "A person from the future?" King Xin''s expression was extremely strange. He seemed to be surprised more often today than he had been in the past year. But this is really because what Laila said is too fantastic. Whether it''s a world-ending disaster or some kind of future visitor, they all seem to exist only in fantasy. Even if King Xin is already a legendary powerhouse, it is difficult to imagine that someone can travel through time and space and go back to the past. And yet, Laila seems to still believe in this matter? This sounds a bit too ridiculous. King Xin forced himself to suppress his strange emotions and asked the last question. "Even if you knew this prophecy, why did you tell me about it?" Laila said directly. "The reason is simple." "Because...that person from the future once mentioned your deeds." "And it seems to me that, if anyone, there is anyone in the world today who could have prevented this catastrophe." "That person can only be you." King Xin was stunned again. He didn''t expect that this strange legend would give him such a high evaluation. after all. It is different from the situation in later generations where King Xins deeds were widely spread across the Seven Seas. During this time period, the [Great Yan Kingdom] in the [Far North] had just been established. Moreover, the people on this land have always been regarded as exiled sinners by the mainstream kingdoms in the southern continent. Many kingdoms showed disgust and contempt towards [Great Yan Kingdom]. So much so that when [Dayan Kingdom] was established, almost no other kingdoms came to attend the ceremony. The founding ceremony seemed very shabby. His title as the Salary King is almost only known to the citizens of his own country. Looking at the entire [Seven Seas World], he is just an unknown king. But at this time. The other party claimed that only he could save the world. The young King Xin, while in a strange mood, could not help but feel a bit complacent. After all. The salary king who became famous in the seven seas in later generations is still just a young man. Lila continued. "I know you won''t believe what I say now." "But it doesn''t matter, time will tell." "I just hope that you can remember what I said today and confirm for yourself whether this prophecy is true or false." "By then, you should understand what you should do?" After saying that, Laila waved her hand to King Xin. "That''s all I have to say, you can continue to hunt down the murderer who killed your [Great Yan Kingdom] people." Seeing that Laila had no intention of continuing the conversation, King Xin did not stay any longer, but left with a very complicated mood. And aside. Xia En, who witnessed the entire conversation between Laila and King Xin, fell into an unspeakable shock. From a long time ago. Xia En had a doubt in his mind, and that was Whose mouth did the earliest prophecy about the world-destroying flood come from? after all [Hui Siming] is an outer **** who transcends the seven seas. Strictly speaking. It is difficult for fortune tellers and prophets in this world to predict His actions. Not to mention. Accurately confirm the coming of a great flood and its source. But what if Wasn''t that a prophecy from the beginning? The so-called prophecy is nothing more than Laila telling King Xin and other mystics of this era about what happened in the future. Her purpose is simple - I just want to use the most amazing geniuses of every era, gather their strength, and find a way to prevent the world-destroying flood from coming. This way. Only then will the prophecies about the great flood spread throughout the world. This is the truth behind the so-called prophecy of world destruction! On the other hand. Laila''s understanding of the great flood in later generations came from the people she said came from the future. That is Xia En. From a certain perspective. Is Xia En the initiator of the prophecy of destruction? Just the thought of that. A very strange and wonderful feeling arose in Xia En''s heart. History seems to have formed a closed loop at this moment. The boundaries between past and future, cause and effect, seem to have become blurred. Perhaps he has truly changed the past without knowing it? And just as Xia En was feeling emotional. But Laila looked up at the gray-white sky and took off the veil on her face, revealing her beautiful face. But at this time, there was a touch of sadness and sadness on her face. Laila whispered to herself. "Xia En, I miss you so much..." The conversation with King Xin just now reminded her of missing Xia En. Only then. Only then did Laila take off the indifferent, cold and hard shell. Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! Just like the girl she once was, she showed some weakness again. Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but twitch. if you can. Of course he wanted to tell Laila out loud that he was here and give her a warm hug But now, Xia En can only be in this closed perspective, watching Laila show such a sad expression. Nothing can be done. At this moment. They seemed so close. In fact, it is extremely remote. What lies between them is a ruthless and silent time. The power of time seems to be the most insipid and silent. But it flows through everyone equally. You wont stop for a moment because of any person or thing. Not to mention being open-minded to anyone. When it accumulates, it becomes too heavy to be added to. It''s like an insurmountable mountain. Just looking up makes one feel despair. And right now. But Laila glanced at the [Eternal Coffin] next to her in surprise. Don''t know why. She actually vaguely felt some kind and familiar atmosphere from this coffin. It seemed like the person she missed and wanted to see. Are you looking at yourself through this [Eternal Coffin]? And at the same time. Xia En also noticed Laila''s gaze and was suddenly shocked. In this extremely brief moment. They seemed to have crossed the barrier of time and looked at each other through this [Eternal Coffin]. "This is?" Xia En suddenly felt incredible. To know. What he sees now may not be real history. Perhaps, it was just the scene where Great Yan reappeared. in this case. How could Laila see herself through the [Eternal Coffin]? And reacted? Then I thought about it. Shane thought of a possibility. According to Laila, the [Eternal Coffin] has certain characteristics that can transcend time. Because of this, it can serve as a unique [anchor]. Perhaps the reason behind this is [Eternal Coffin] may exist in the past, future and present at the same time! That is to say. Not only is he in the future, he can also see the scenes around the [Eternal Coffin] in the past. Lila, who is in the past, can also see Shane in the future through it? Of course, this is just Xia En''s conjecture and has not yet been verified. But obviously. This kind of stare across time cannot last for a long time. Soon, Laila withdrew her gaze and smiled to herself. "It seems that I miss you so much." "I almost thought you were looking at me in this coffin..." Shane wanted to say something. It''s a pity that under the restrictions of the [Eternal Coffin], no sound can be made. It didn''t take long. Laila quickly calmed down her emotions, put on the black hood again, and patted the body of the [Eternal Coffin]. "Let''s go." "Our journey has just begun." While Laila said these words. The world in Xia En''s eyes was once again indescribably distorted. The time that had been stagnant before seemed to start flowing again. And sent him to the next [coordinates] location. After a change of light and shadow. Shane opened his eyes again. What comes into view is a palace that is both familiar and unfamiliar. The cold architectural lines and the iron-blooded atmosphere like a military camp all illustrate the identity of this building. This place is the royal palace of [Great Yan Kingdom]! But soon, Xia En saw it keenly. Compared with just now, the time point of the palace in front of us has undoubtedly moved a lot further back. Because, according to what the residents of the town just said, [Fanyan City] is clearly still in the process of being built. The palace in front of him was already very complete and grand. It was even more complete than the palace that Xia En had seen on his wedding day before. This shows that the previous sense of flow of time was not an illusion. Xia En probably arrived at the time after King Xin got married. But he didn''t know how many years passed between the two. Soon, after a moment of searching. Shane still saw Laila carrying the coffin. Time seemed to have left no trace on her body. Something to say. Only her black robe became shabby. At this time, Laila was walking in the palace carrying the [Eternal Coffin]. But the strange thing is. The surrounding soldiers [Black Flame Walker] all seemed not to see her, allowing such a strange looking man to walk through the palace. Not long after. Laila came to a palace. In front of the palace door, Laila put down the [Eternal Coffin], as if waiting for something. After a while. King Xin walked out of the palace gate. Seeing the figure standing outside the palace gate, his expression suddenly became extremely complicated and he spoke. "I also said that I sensed a strange legendary aura." "I didn''t expect it was you." At this time, King Xin''s temperament was much calmer and more mature than before. But at the same time, there was a slight sadness on his brows. Looking at his appearance, Xia En suddenly understood that the Xinwang of this era had probably confirmed the authenticity of the prophecy of annihilation. That''s why he showed such an attitude. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but glance at the palace behind him. Calculating the time, maybe An Bing is in this palace at this time? King Xin continued. "It''s been ten years since we last met, right?" "I have confirmed the existence of the world-destroying flood from the legacy of Augustine." "What you said back then was indeed right." There was a hint of regret in his voice. "It''s just that now, we don''t have much time left." (End of chapter) Chapter 389 【Heart of the King】 Chapter 389 [Heart of the King] ten years? Xia En, who was watching, couldn''t help but be a little surprised. Just now, it seemed to him that it was just a blink of an eye. But in fact, did it span an entire decade? However, what made him even more curious was. Ten years later, why did Laila visit King Xin late at night? Just then. King Xin said: "I only started the investigation in this area after the Elf Kingdom completely disappeared." "If I could discover the truth earlier, maybe... I would have more time to prepare, right?" Hearing the word "Elven Country", a hint of sadness flashed in Laila''s eyes. But she didn''t show anything on the surface, she just said. "You don''t need to feel guilty about it." "At that time, anyone who heard such a prediction would not believe it for the first time." Laila said helplessly. "In fact, you are already much better than the kings of many countries on the continent." "At least, you are willing to verify whether that prophecy is true." And to this day, many kings do not want to believe the prophecies from my mouth. "Among them, very few have taken action." "However, some kingdoms that believe in gods seem to have received some kind of instructions from the gods, and thus began to prepare for the disaster of annihilation." "Among them, there is a kingdom named Shuton, which seems to have thought of a path that relies on the Lord of Billions of Lights." "It''s just that I''m not very optimistic about this method of placing hope on gods." With that said, Laila turned her gaze to King Xin and asked. "So, what about you?" "King of [Great Yan Kingdom], in the past ten years, have you ever thought of any way to save the world?" Upon hearing this, King Xin fell into a brief silence. Then he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "No." "An alien **** from the [Secret Sea], its existence and power are too mysterious and unknown to us." "I have thought that the most feasible method is to go directly to the [Secret Sea] and kill the alien god, or completely cut off the connection between him and our world." "However, let''s not talk about the terrifying strength possessed by that god." "Even to this day, we can''t be sure where He is in the [Secret Sea]?" "Not to mention taking the initiative to find the connection between Him and our world." Hearing this, Laila''s eyes dimmed slightly. "Even you can''t help it?" "Could it be that...this world-destroying disaster cannot be avoided after all?" In these hundreds of years of travel, all she got was disappointment, so much so that even with Laila''s willpower, she couldn''t help but feel a little discouraged. King Xin hesitated and said. "Actually, just a few days ago, a man who claimed to be the [Omniscient Sage] came to me and claimed that he had a way to prevent the disaster of annihilation." "[Omniscient Sage]?" Lila couldn''t help but frown when she heard the name. "I have never heard of such a number one person in the world." This kind of thing is actually incredible. Lyra traveled across the continent for hundreds of years. She will remember the names of all the lost people with extraordinary abilities or those amazing geniuses. And at the appropriate time, he told them the prophecy of a world-destroying flood. However, in Laila''s memory, there has never been anyone claiming to be an [Omniscient Sage]. It''s almost like... This guy just appeared out of nowhere. But unfortunately, this [Omniscient Sage] also knew information about the world-destroying flood, and even said that he had a way to prevent the great flood. No matter how you look at it, it gives people a very suspicious feeling. However, the world is so big, and unknown strong men may emerge from somewhere. Therefore, Laila asked patiently. "What''s the solution he''s talking about?" "It''s a seal." King Xin replied. "Since we cannot prevent the great flood from coming to this world in advance." "Then we can only seal the flood at the moment it comes, and try to control the affected area to the minimum." "In this way, the crisis will naturally be resolved." "Instead of stopping it at the source, should we consider what will happen after the flood comes?" Laila looked thoughtful and analyzed rationally. "Although it sounds ridiculous, it doesn''t seem to be impossible." "However, the crux of the matter is..." "How to seal the flood?" King Xin explained: "The [Omniscient Sage] claimed." "He masters a unique sealing ritual. As long as he accumulates enough ice power and arranges the ritual in advance, he can do this." Speaking of this, King Xin''s tone couldn''t help but be a little complicated. "And it just so happens that there is a tribe called the "Ice and Snow People" within the territory of our [Great Yan Kingdom]." "Their bodies are filled with blood that is naturally capable of mastering the secret power of ice." "If we let them help, we should be able to successfully build this ritual." People of Ice and Snowthe secret power of ice Hearing this, the first thing Laila thought of was the masked man who attacked her ten years ago and massacred people all over the [Great Yan Kingdom]. At that time, what the other party seemed to have was such a cold power. Seemingly reading Laila''s thoughts, King Xin explained. "Yes, the murderer back then was also one of the [People of Ice and Snow]." "In this family, there are many people who are hostile to me and the [Great Yan Kingdom]." "So, conventional methods probably won''t allow them to assist in this plan..." "etc!" Laila couldn''t help but interrupt. "Have you decided to adopt the plan of the [Omniscient Sage]?" "In my opinion, that guy is too suspicious. Both his identity and origin are unknown." "Besides, don''t you think this is all a bit too coincidental?" Laila analyzed rationally. "How could he be so lucky to find you after you confirmed the authenticity of the world-destroying flood?" "It just so happens that in your country there is a group of people who possess the secret power of ice." There was strong suspicion in Laila''s attitude. She didn''t believe such a coincidence existed in the world. When so many coincidences come together, there is a high probability that there is an ulterior conspiracy. In response, King Xin showed a helpless smile. "Of course I also know that the [Omniscient Sage] is very suspicious." "Maybe it has some unknown purpose, but now I have no other choice." "If nothing is done now, it will be too late." Xia En on the side suddenly understood King Xins mentality. If he doesn''t do anything, things will only get worse. Until the great flood came. Although the [Omniscient Sage] of this era is extremely suspicious, at least it does provide a path with certain feasibility. The salary king would rather make a mistake than do nothing! Laila obviously saw this mentality of King Xin, and could only let out a faint sigh. King Xin continued. "Don''t worry, since I know that the [Omniscient Sage] may not be trustworthy, I will naturally be wary of him in the process of cooperating with him." "I also plan to conduct in-depth research on the secret power of ice." "Perhaps... we can find a way to seal the world-destroying flood without resorting to the secret technique spoken by the [Omniscient Sage]." Obviously, King Xin was not dazzled by the plan spoken by the [Omniscient Sage] at this time, and It''s about giving in and finding other ways to save the world. Think about it. This was probably the reason why King Xin was very wary of the [Omniscient Sage] later and did not let him touch the research results. In a sense, this was exactly what was behind the institute rebellion. "Sorry, I can only leave these matters to you." There was a hint of hope in Laila''s tone. Of course, she couldn''t do such a large-scale study by herself. Only people like King Xin, who can mobilize the people of the entire country and mobilize the power of the whole country, can overcome those technical difficulties. In the past, Laila might have been able to do it with the help of the Elf Kingdom. But now, her hometown has disappeared from this world. Naturally, it is impossible to mobilize the so-called power of the whole country. Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version! As someone who almost ascended the throne of the Elf Queen, Laila could understand King Xin''s situation to a certain extent and expressed some sympathy. "After this, I''m afraid you will be disgusted and even hated by your own people, right?" The word "nationwide power" has always been extremely heavy. Especially when it falls on every citizen, it will form an unbearable pressure. In addition, King Xin cannot directly inform his people of the existence of the prophecy of annihilation. It is not difficult to imagine that there will be many citizens who do not agree with or understand what King Xin is doing. It will even... ignite the fire of rebellion in [Great Yan Kingdom]. By then. Salary King will also bear an unimaginable psychological burden. You can hear this. King Xin slowly shook his head: "I believe in my people, just as they believe in me." "Besides, I have already realized this in my heart." "Even if they nail me to the pillar of shame after discovering my despicable deeds, I will continue to follow my path firmly." "History and those who come after me will rectify my name." Laila was slightly shocked. It wasn''t until this moment that she suddenly understood why King Xin was one of the few kings Xia En had mentioned. Perhaps, in him, he truly has the heart of a king. Even the former Laila did not have such a mentality. After thinking for a moment, Laila said. "Although I can''t personally participate in your research, there are things I can do." With that said, Laila pushed the [Eternal Coffin] beside her forward. "This crystal coffin has the function of storing the secret power of ice, and it also has the power to transcend time." "I have done experiments, and the secret power of ice and cold it can store is almost unlimited." "I will temporarily lend it to you as a research object and a container to store secret power." "There is such a strange thing?" King Xin''s eyes lit up, and he took the [Eternal Coffin] which was taller than him, and a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. Lets not talk about the cold secret power stored in it for now. King Xin also sensed an aura from it that seemed to transcend time and transcend this world. Obviously. This is definitely an extremely rare and precious treasure. But now, this mysterious man in black robe casually gave him to him. This had to touch Wang Xins heart He couldn''t help but ask: "By the way, I still don''t know the name of my senior..." However, when King Xin raised his head, Laila was no longer in front of him. There was only one voice, which seemed to come from a very far away place. "Names don''t matter." "I''ll always be watching you and your research." "I hope... you won''t disappoint me." "We will meet again in the future." The sound drifted farther and farther away, and soon dissipated in the cold night of [the Far North]. "I''ll do my best." King Xin murmured in his heart. He looked into the distance, as if looking into the distant future. Just now. A cold female voice came from the bedroom. "King? What are you doing at the palace gate?" That was exactly An Bing''s voice. A complex tenderness appeared on King Xin''s face, and he responded immediately. "I''ll be right back." He patted the [Eternal Coffin] beside him and said softly. "The mission of saving the world falls on you and me." The moment the words fell. The scene in front of Xia En became chaotic and hazy again. He knew that this was another time jump. Only this time, the light and shadow in his eyes became particularly bright and strange. There was a faint feeling of falling, pulling on his body. The time of confusion of consciousness was longer than the previous two times. Wait until those dancing lights and shadows calm down. What caught Xia En''s eyes was a cold and dead hall. The towering dome, iron-gray walls, and empty square... make this place look more like a mausoleum. And the [Eternal Coffin] is naturally the only coffin in this mausoleum. "here it is" Xia En felt surprised. With just one glance, he recognized that this square was the deepest hall of the underground research institute that he had visited before. Xia En even opened the [Eternal Coffin] there, thus witnessing one piece of history after another. And on the wall and floor of the hall. There are also some cracks and blood stains, like traces left after a battle. If it weren''t for the fact that Xia En''s perspective is still blocked in the [Eternal Coffin]. He almost thought that he was back to the scene when he left before. And at this time. Although the hall was empty, it was not empty. Beside Xia En, there was stationed a [Black Flame Walker] with a mole under his right eye. It is the elder brother of the legendary pair of brothers. But at this time, his left arm disappeared, leaving only an empty sleeve. As for his younger brother, he was nowhere to be seen. Xia En suddenly felt enlightened. This situation was obviously different from the memory scenes he had experienced before. That is to say. This is actually what happened to these legendary brothers in real history. In the face of the attack from the [Truth Society], although they successfully prevented the other party from taking away the [Eternal Coffin], they also left injuries that were difficult to heal. As for the younger brother of the two. It is even more likely that he died directly in this turmoil. At the same time as Xia En was thinking. The door to the hall slowly opened. King Xin walked in from outside the door. (End of chapter) Chapter 390 【Bronze and the Dragon of Time】 Chapter 390 [Bronze and the Dragon of Time] Seeing King Xin at this time, Xia En couldn''t help but be slightly startled. Compared with the salary king I saw twice before. This time, his appearance has changed the most. I saw that King Xin''s appearance had visibly aged a lot, and he was no longer as energetic as he was when he was young. Instead. It is the lingering fatigue and vicissitudes of life between the eyebrows. A little stubble on the chin and a few streaks of blood in the eye sockets all indicate... During this period of time, the salary king was probably extremely busy and had not been able to take a good rest. Coupled with the accumulated affairs and pressure, he developed a bit of an old attitude. This is actually somewhat similar to Augustine''s original state. After being defeated by [Ultimate Commander] and destroying the huge fleet, Augustine fell into despair and turned into a gray-haired old man. For mystics, the aging of the mind often affects the physical body. Although the current salary king is not desperate. But it is inevitable that there will be some overwork. From the [Black Flame Walker] on the side. It was not difficult for Xia En to know that the historical period in front of him was obviously after the attack on the underground research institute. Just cleaning up the mess in the institute and dealing with the aftermath will take a lot of time. at the same time. After such an attack, King Xin''s plan to advance smoothly is likely to be temporarily stalled. Research progress has been greatly slowed down. Not to mention. It was probably around this time. An Bing discovered the existence of the underground research institute and questioned King Xin. Internal and external troubles, national events, love between children... One by one, they all pressed down on King Xin like a mountain. If it were someone with weak willpower, I''m afraid that their mentality would have broken down a long time ago, and they would even want to escape directly. However, King Xin only showed some signs of fatigue and still had the will to continue pushing forward with the plan, which was already considered remarkable. "king." Seeing King Xin approaching, the Black Flame Legend stationed here gave him a solemn salute. "Bell, thank you for your hard work." King Xin nodded in response. "It''s obvious that your injury hasn''t healed yet, so I''m asking you to come back here and carry out protection work." "It''s not hard." Bell shook his head: "The one under the greatest pressure right now is obviously the king." "It is an honor for me to be able to share the king''s worries, even just a little bit." As he spoke, Bell''s eyes showed some concern. "Wang, you haven''t slept for several days, right?" "Please take care of your health." King Xin was slightly startled and said with a wry smile. "Can even you see it?" He rubbed his cheeks, cheered up, and forcibly regained his tiredness. A little bit restored to his usual posture. King Xin knew very well that at times like this, he could not show weakness and exhaustion. Because...he is the salary king. He is the king of this country. It is the backbone of people''s hearts. If even he himself is wavering, how can he get his people to follow him firmly? Xia En, who was watching this scene, couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. He naturally saw what King Xin was thinking. However, he also knows that when a string is tightened for too long, it will completely break! And this time. King Xin, who had adjusted his condition, looked at the [Black Flame Walker] named Bell. "Oh, by the way, your brother is out of danger." "She should wake up soon." Hearing this, Bell''s face showed a slight joy. But soon, he said a little apologetically. "Sorry, King, our strength is still too weak." "Although we didn''t let those enemies take away the [Eternal Coffin], we still let them take away some of the research results." "If we brothers could be stronger, we wouldn''t have to worry you so much." King Xin shook his head: "How can I blame you?" "If I have to blame, I can only blame the enemy for being too cunning, and those [people of ice and snow]..." The term "people of ice and snow" was mentioned. A flash of regret flashed in King Xin''s eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by him. he continued. "No matter what, you protected the two most important things in the institute." "As long as they''re here, the institute can make a comeback." "You...are the heroes of this battle!" While saying this. King Xin pressed lightly somewhere on the wall of the hall. Subsequently. The floor, which seemed to be cast from some kind of metal, suddenly changed. Its color keeps getting lighter and lighter until it becomes transparent. And in the [Eternal Coffin]. Xia En looked down through the transparent floor and saw an extremely shocking scene I saw that underneath this icy hall was a solid and thick ice crystal. And in the blue ice crystals. There was a huge figure! It wears a dark red crown on its head. The whole body looks like crystal, bronze, or magma. Bronze scales cover its body. The texture of the scales is like some ancient mysterious rune, revealing the weight of time. Its whole figure looks slender and graceful. Like a princess or queen in the palace. Such beauty transcends both gender and species! It''s like... it''s the pinnacle of biological evolution, with indescribable nobility. Behind this figure is a pair of folded wings. Even if they are folded together, these wings are still astonishingly large. It is not difficult to imagine what a sight it will be like when it is fully opened. There is no doubt about it. That''s an ancient dragon! It is a dragon of bronze and time! It was the true overlord of the world in an earlier era, and it was also an existence that had long since disappeared from the Seven Seas. Although, its appearance is very different from the Xian Ge that Xia En knows. The body length and width are several times that of Xian Ge. But for no reason. Xia En could recognize it at a glance. It was what Xian Ge would look like when he became an adult in the future. At this moment. The bronze dragon''s eyes were closed and its body remained motionless, like a cold corpse. Can be biased. There is some strange activity left in its body, making it look lifelike, as if it will wake up at any time. And the majesty belonging to the ancient dragon also spreads through the ice crystals below. To the average person. This dragon''s power may make them feel instinctively uncomfortable. But for Xia En, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of intimacy in his heart. Such a reunion across time and history is truly wonderful. And at this time. The scene he saw in front of him also proved Xia En''s previous guess. "Sure enough, before Xian Ge turned into [Ancient Dragon''s Egg], he was located in this underground research institute..." However, Xia En didn''t expect it. Xian Ge was actually hidden underneath this hall. No wonder the members of the [Truth Society] failed to find the location of the bronze dragon before. But when he thought about it carefully, Xia En suddenly understood. It''s not so much that the bronze dragon is hidden under the hall. Rather, this hall was originally built on the body of a bronze dragon. This design was made to facilitate research and observation of it. In fact, the [Eternal Coffin] was placed closest to the bronze dragon for this reason. Just when Xia En was secretly shocked. The door to the cold hall opened again. A tall general, covered in the smell of blood, who looked like he had just stepped off the battlefield, walked in from the door. And Xia En was no stranger to this tall man. "General Hanno, you are here." King Xin nodded to the man. Hannuo strode up to King Xin and cupped his hands. Please...you...collect_6_9__Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar) "King, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny." "I have captured all the traitors who participated in the rebellion before." "Some resisted too fiercely, so I had to kill them on the spot." King Xin couldn''t help but have a strange expression on his face and said. "Let me guess, you probably killed many more people than you caught, right?" "hey-hey." Hanno grinned, showing his pale teeth. "King, you really understand me." King Xin sighed helplessly. "Hanno, Hanno, you are good at everything, but you have this murderous personality that you really need to change." Hanno waved his hand disapprovingly. "How many people have been killed so far?" "Besides, I kill all those who deserve to be killed. Letting those traitors live is disrespectful to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives." Bell on the side reminded. "General Hanno, although it is not appropriate for me to say this." "But I heard that if you kill too much, you may be punished by the gods in the future, and you may even have to die a good death." "You still have to exercise some restraint." Hanno laughed. "If the gods really hate me for this, then let them do it." "Isn''t it a good death? So what?" "Even if I become an undead in the depths of hell, I will still kill those who deserve to die." This General Hannuo was naturally the legendary general Xia En met in [Fan Yan City]. However, he was still alive and well at this time. Moreover, his personality during his lifetime was a little beyond Xia En''s expectations, and he seemed a bit naive. It''s the lingering murderous aura in his body. He is no different from the one who turned into an undead. However, combined with what Hannuo said at this time, Xia En had an inexplicable feeling that his words had come true. At this time, King Xin continued. "Hannuo, although you killed all the people who deserved to be killed this time, you should try to be more careful next time." "People who kill too many people are indeed easily contaminated by some kind of karma." Hearing King Xin''s words, Hannuo could only respond angrily. "knew." "One more thing, Wang, Director Wan was unfortunately killed during the rebellion." "Who should replace him next?" "The remaining [people of ice and snow] don''t seem so trustworthy..." Suddenly, Hanno had a sudden idea and thought of something. "By the way, why don''t we just let the princess be the supervisor?" "If it were her, she would be able to perfectly replace Miss Wan''s position, right?" As soon as these words came out, King Xin did not speak. Bell next to him suddenly changed his expression. "Hanno, what did you say?!" "Her Royal Highness, you don''t know anything about the situation in the institute, and you don''t even know anything about the king''s plan." "Once the news of the king''s arrest of the [Ice and Snow People] reaches her ears, what do you think Her Royal Highness will think?" "Besides, the possibility of Her Royal Highness participating in this rebellion cannot be ruled out now." Hanno had a different view on this. "I think the princess is completely trustworthy." "Moreover, even Miss Wan can sacrifice for the king. There is no reason why Her Royal Highness can''t do it." "Explain everything to her directly and honestly, and she will definitely understand Wang." Bell frowned: "But..." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel. King Xin, who had remained silent before, finally spoke. "That''s enough, you don''t need to say any more." "I have made up my mind on this matter." Although King Xin has always been very approachable and easy-going. But when he became truly serious, he still showed the majesty of a king. As a result, the two people who had been quarreling immediately settled down and talked honestly. "Okay, King, we understand." King Xin continued; "You go out first." "I want to be alone." Hannuo and Bell looked at each other and both knew they couldn''t disturb King Xin at this time, so they silently lowered their heads and left the hall. After the two people left, the already deserted hall returned to deathly silence again. Only King Xin stood alone in front of the [Eternal Coffin]. To be precise, there is also Xia En in [Eternal Coffin]. From this perspective, he could see more clearly After the two left, King Xin finally relaxed a little. The loneliness, helplessness and exhaustion that had been hidden before resurfaced again. He looked at the [Eternal Coffin] in front of him, sighed deeply, and whispered to himself. "What on earth am I supposed to do?" Looking at King Xin at this time, Xia En was filled with emotions. Until then. Only then did he fully understand that no matter how calm and confident King Xin appeared. Regardless of the true body of King Xin, it is actually the [Old Xinhuo] from the [Secret Sea]. It comes down to it. From the day King Xin transformed into a baby and was born into the lava of that volcano. He has become a real human being. And since we are human beings, we will naturally have emotions and so-called weaknesses. at the moment. King Xin''s princess, An Bing, is undoubtedly the embodiment of this weakness. So much so that it was difficult for him to deal with this matter with absolute rationality. King Xin is not a machine, let alone a god. It''s impossible to be right forever. After thinking about this, Xia En inexplicably understood some of King Xin''s actions. And at this time. King Xin took out something from his arms. The moment he saw this thing clearly, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. Because that thing turned out to be a silver pocket watch! A moment of time! Yes, Xia En suddenly recalled. An Bing said that after her mother died, [Instant Time] fell into the hands of King Xin for some reason. It just so happens to match the current time. King Xin murmured to himself: "If you give it to An Bing, maybe..." But in the next moment. The [Eternal Coffin] beside him suddenly emitted a wave of mysterious power. It seemed like a teleportation circle was activated. Then, Laila, wearing a black robe, came to the side of the [Eternal Coffin] again. "King Xin, we meet again." (End of chapter) Chapter 391 [Closed loop of time and space] Chapter 391 [Closed Loop of Time and Space] at this time. Shane was not particularly surprised by Laila''s appearance. Until then. He had already vaguely guessed that the time nodes that this [Eternal Coffin] brought him to witness were all the scenes when Laila and King Xin met. This may be because their meetings and conversations determine the future of this world to a certain extent. Or maybe it''s because both of them have left their own imprints on this [Eternal Coffin]. But for Salary King. Laila''s appearance was undoubtedly an unexpected thing. "Senior, is it you?" Looking at King Xin who looked exhausted in front of her, Laila couldn''t help but let out a faint sigh. "Sure enough, even you are in trouble?" King Xin fell into a brief silence. In fact, compared to the things about An Bing and Xiaowan. What really made him feel tremendous pressure was the consequences of the attack on the research institute by the men of the [Omniscient Sage]. first. Just as Bell said, although they saved the [Eternal Coffin] in this battle. However, a considerable part of the research results were still taken away by the enemy. A lot of data and information have suffered devastating blows. Not to mention. In this incident, a large number of researchers and experimental materials were also lost. Some of them are traitors who obey the orders of the [Omniscient Sage]. The other part is the people who unfortunately died in the attack. Back and forth. The number of backbone researchers in the entire institute has dropped to a very embarrassing number. True. Just like King Xin said. As long as the [Eternal Coffin] and the Bronze Dragon were not taken away. It is only a matter of time before the entire institute makes a comeback and continues to carry out research. But the problem is. What they lack most now is time! According to the original research plan. The time for arranging the rituals was barely in time before the great flood came. The time itself is already extremely tight. And now, the underground research institute has suffered such a heavy blow. The progress of many research works has not only failed to advance on time, but has also regressed a lot. Coupled with the serious shortage of manpower, it is almost unrealistic to complete the research within the original deadline. This is the fundamental reason why King Xin is in such a heavy mood. As for Xiao Wan and An Bing''s matter, although it also had a considerable impact on him. But after all, it is just a personal emotional private matter. "Sorry, senior." King Xin said. Facing Laila at this time, he couldn''t help but feel a little ashamed. After all, this unidentified legendary strongman not only informed him of the prophecy of the great flood in advance, but also temporarily lent him the most precious [Eternal Coffin]. Can it bear fruit? But because of his own negligence, there were major omissions in the entire plan, and he might even miss the only opportunity to save the world. Moreover, if he could have confirmed the reality of the Flood earlier, the situation might have been very different. How can King Xin not feel guilty for this? "I''ve heard about you." Laila didn''t blame King Xin, but just said. "That [Omniscient Sage] really has ulterior motives." "And I suspect that taking away the research results in your institute is not his real purpose." "His true intentions may be even more absurd and evil than you and I thought." Laila first glanced at the bronze dragon under the floor of the hall, and then asked. "How far have you progressed in your research on space-time technology?" King Xin didnt hide anything and said frankly. "Right now, our technology can only temporarily stagnate an area for a period of time." "And the scope and time that it can be stagnant are extremely limited." Hearing this, Laila couldn''t help but have a flash of disappointment in her eyes. She can simply stop time by relying on her own laws of time and space. The effect might even be better than the technology developed by Xin Wang and others. certainly. Laila also knew that this did not mean that King Xins research results were ordinary. Quite the opposite. We can rely on technology to achieve things like dead time. In fact, it can be called a technological breakthrough across the ages. To ordinary people, this is simply an incredible thing. only. For Laila, who is a legendary mystic in her own right and has mastered the laws of time to a certain extent. Only to this extent is not enough. Simply put. The technology developed by Xinwang is not bad, but...not good enough! Relying on such technology alone is far from enough to prevent the coming annihilating flood and save the world. at this time. After understanding this situation, Laila''s eyes flickered, as if she had finally made up her mind, and whispered to herself. "That''s what happened now." "It seems that we can only adopt that plan." Upon hearing this, King Xin''s expression changed slightly. "Senior, are you saying that you want to complete that deal?" "That''s from the [Secret Sea]..." Just then. A strange, indistinguishable noise broke into Sean''s ears. He couldn''t hear the name mentioned in King Xin''s mouth clearly. "This is?" Xia En''s heart skipped a beat. This kind of noise is by no means the real sound that appeared in this period of history. It''s more like some kind of shielding sound. This made him, a bystander who witnessed this history with the help of the [Eternal Coffin], unable to truly know the existence that King Xin was talking about. After the noise. King Xin continued. "... Dealing with that kind of existence will definitely not end well." Laila sighed softly: "Of course I know about this kind of thing." "But it''s like you know that the [Omniscient Sage] is suspicious, so you can only cooperate with him." "Right now, only by trading with Him can we find a glimmer of hope for salvation." "After all, only the power of... can resist..." As Laila spoke, the strange noise sounded again. Xia En felt an indescribable sense of disobedience. trade? Deal with what? And why does it sound like King Xins tone that he also knows part of the deal? However, arent these the only three times that King Xin and Laila met? How did he know about the deal Laila mentioned. "No...no!" Suddenly, Shane woke up. King Xin may have met Laila more than three times. This time, when entering this time point, Xia En clearly felt that the pause in the middle was unusually long. It''s like... Did he skip a section of content for no reason? Perhaps, the truth is hidden in this skipped time. As for why this phenomenon occurs. There is a high probability that it is for the same reason as that weird noise. That is the existence mentioned by Laila and King Xin. There is a possibility. That existence possesses some extremely high status, so that even the [Eternal Coffin] cannot record information related to it. There is also a possibility that someone deliberately eliminated some information related to "him" in the "Eternal Coffin". This undoubtedly made Xia En more and more curious. Lyra said that she would make a deal with that being to fight against the coming flood of destruction. Doesn''t this mean... That existence has the power to fight against [Huisi Ming]? But obviously. Its not difficult to hear it from Lailas words. There will undoubtedly be a heavy price to pay for trading with such a being and seeking his help. Please...you...collect_6_9__Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar) But, its still the same sentence. Faced with this great flood sweeping the world, they didn''t have much choice. They cannot let go of any method that might save the world. While Shane was thinking. Laila suddenly noticed the silver pocket watch in King Xin''s hand. "Wait, that''s it?" King Xin was a little strange, but he still explained. "This is the certificate of the leader of the [Ice and Snow People]." "The freezing law that condenses a certain amount of ice-cold secret power can freeze time and space in a short period of time." "Part of our research also refers to the design of the secret technique in this pocket watch." Hearing this, Laila''s face was suddenly enlightened, as if she suddenly figured out something. "That''s it...that''s it..." "It turns out...this is the last missing piece of the puzzle." Then, Laila looked at King Xin and said directly. "King Xin, give me this pocket watch." "With it, I can find the path to saving the world." "What''s the meaning?" King Xin was stunned for a moment, obviously failing to understand Laila''s intention. In his opinion. Although this pocket watch has some extraordinary properties, it is only "somewhat" extraordinary. Don''t talk about saving the world. It was much worse than the [Eternal Coffin] beside them. But at this time, why does Laila attach so much importance to this silver pocket watch? After hesitating for a moment, King Xin said. "Is this pocket watch really so special?" "Can I find other relics in [People of Ice and Snow] and replace them?" Seeing the strange look in Laila''s eyes, King Xin explained. "That''s actually true." "This pocket watch is a relic of my wife''s mother. It has special meaning to her." "Besides, I also promised in the letter that I would return this pocket watch to her, so..." Laila shook her head seriously. "Nothing can replace this pocket watch." "It just has such importance." "If you don''t want to give it to me, then I will have no choice but to rob it." After hearing this, King Xin immediately gave up, and sighed as he was lucky at the last moment. "I see." In fact, Xinwang naturally understands the priorities of things. Compared to something as big as saving the world, personal emotions are nothing more than trivial matters. Just because he had made a promise to An Bing. So I tentatively asked if there is anything that can be replaced? After receiving a definite negative answer, King Xin did not hesitate and handed [The Moment of Time] directly to Laila. Seeing this scene, Xia En was shocked. By this time, many doubts in his mind suddenly became clear. It was mentioned in An Bing''s mouth. King Xin originally promised to return [The Moment of Time] to him, but he failed to do so in the end. Moreover, he also claimed that [Instant Time] was taken away by an unknown strong man. From An Bing''s perspective, that was naturally a blatant lie. After all, in the Great Yan Kingdom, who is the one with the secret path who can take away [the moment of time] from King Xin? But right now, Laila clearly has such qualifications and abilities. This way. Xia En finally fully understood where [Instant Time] belongs in history. The [Flash of Time] back then was first controlled by the great elder of the [People of Ice and Snow]. Later, after the great elder was injured, it was passed to the next clan leader. That is An Bing''s mother. Then, the clan leader died, and [Instant Time] was held by King Xin again. Until this time point in front of me. Laila took [The Moment of Time] from King Xin and called it "the last missing piece of the puzzle." Xia En couldn''t help but make a bold guess - Perhaps, the function of traveling through time and space that was later possessed by [Instant Time] was Laila''s work! There are two reasons for reaching this conclusion. First, Laila herself is a legendary powerhouse who has mastered the laws of time and space. Secondly, from the conversation between Laila and King Xin, we learned that she seemed to have made a deal with another being of extremely high status. Only she can transform a relic that could only temporarily freeze time into a prop with the power to travel through time and space. And if that is the case. At this moment in history, history has once again formed an extremely wonderful closed loop. The reason why Xia En was able to go back to the past was precisely because he obtained the [Instant Time] that contains the power of time and space. Also with the help of this relic. He had only met Laila a few times in the past. From a certain perspective. The reason why Laila came up with the idea of ??saving the world was because of this silver pocket watch. But now. This silver pocket watch was transformed by Laila and gained special powers. Finally, by chance, she fell into the hands of Xia En... "etc" Suddenly, Shane came to his senses and realized a possibility. Is it really just a coincidence that he obtained [Instant Time]? It''s not hard to see. Lila actually had contact with the Kingdom of Shoton, which later became the [Coral City]. He even knew about the "coralization" path chosen by the Kingdom of Southorn. What if Laila had predicted Will Xia En explore the palace of [Coral City] in the future, and then deliberately leave [Moment of Time] in the Shoton Kingdom? This conjecture, at first glance, seems like a fantasy. But after Xia Endu witnessed the so-called thread of fate with his own eyes, he instinctively felt - This kind of thing is not impossible. Now Xia En can only see the thread of fate at the same time. And what if, coupled with Laila''s laws of time and space. Maybe we can really see things that happen in the more distant future, where the threads of fate intersect with each other. It is equivalent to truly predicting the future! If this is all true. Which came first, the existence of [Flash of Time], or the fact that Xia En went back to the past? This kind of closed loop in time and space really shocked Xia En. And the moment Laila took over [The Moment of Time]. The world in front of Xia En suddenly changed. Everything around him seemed to be covered by a layer of water waves, becoming hazy and unreal. There was also a familiar voice ringing in my ears. "Captain Shane, Captain Shane? What''s wrong with you?" (End of chapter) Chapter 392 【Awakening Great Flame】 Chapter 392 [The Awakening Great Flame] Looking at the gradually fragmented world in front of him, and hearing such a voice, Xia En suddenly understood Dream, its time to wake up. No matter how realistic the scene in front of you is, it is not real reality after all. Moreover, in reality, there are more important things waiting for him to do. Thinking of this, Xia En finally forgot about Laila and King Xin, and remembered their appearance at this time in his heart. Just then. Several lines of information flashed before Xia En''s eyes. [You witnessed the three meetings between Laila and King Xin with your own eyes! [I touched upon the truth of history again! [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" +10%! ["The Secret of Traveling Through Time and Space" solution density +30%! [Comprehensive quality: 34 37! Looking at the words flashing before his eyes, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little complicated. on the one hand. The density of these two secret solutions has been greatly improved. Even at this time, "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" is only 8% progress away from being completely solved. This proves that his previous conjecture is most likely correct. At the same time, his previous exploration was not in vain. This is certainly gratifying. But on the other hand. Faced with the last step to unlock the secret, Xia En felt a little unspeakable for no reason. It''s like following a novel to its finale. Not only are you looking forward to its final ending, but you also feel that if you dont read the ending, the story in the book might continue forever. There is a special feeling of worrying about gains and losses. Moreover, Xia En also vaguely noticed I''m afraid the final truth will never be so beautiful, but will be extremely cruel. Of course, uneasiness is uneasiness. We have already come this far, and Xia En will not give up pursuing the final truth. No matter...what the truth will be. After making up his mind, Shane opened his eyes. The first person to catch the eye was Carles, who had exited the combined state. Even through the metal mask, Xia En seemed to be able to see the worry on her face. It made Xia En feel warm in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "I''m fine." Then, Xia En turned his head and looked aside. He couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found An Bing and Jian not far away. Xia En was also worried that after leaving the memory scene through the [Eternal Coffin], they would be separated again. Just quickly. Xia En noticed that there was no [Eternal Coffin] around them at this time. I think it''s because it has completed its mission and led Xia En to witness the past history. at the same time. Xia En also discovered that the scene they were in now was different from before. Flat, slightly scratched floor. Not far away was an advanced but rusty naval gun. And, there is a faint smell of sea in the air. With Xia En''s experience as a captain for so long, he could naturally tell at a glance - Here is the deck of a ship! Xia En reacted quickly and thought to himself. "Is this the deck of the [King]?" He now knows that [Great Flame] is mainly divided into two parts. One is the original scene on the [King]. The other part is those scenes shaped by the national memory of Dayan. Just for now. How could they reappear on the "King"? Shane immediately asked Carles. "How long has it been since we left that hall?" "Did anything else happen during this period?" Carles was a little strange, but still said. "It''s only been less than a minute." "When we opened our eyes, we were on this deck." "Seeing you frozen in place, I stepped forward to wake you up. Not even a minute? Shane marveled secretly. Just now from his perspective. Even if we don''t talk about the time passed in the middle, a very long time has passed. The results for Carles et al. But it was just a blink of an eye. Perhaps, this is also a manifestation of the [Eternal Coffin] in the laws of time and space. And this time. Jane on the side said with a solemn expression. "Captain Xia En, [Da Yan] seems to be in a bad state at this time..." "What''s the meaning?" Shane asked. Jane''s perception and analysis abilities are the strongest among the legends. Even if he faces many legendary strong men, he will not give in too much. At this time, her judgment was by no means unreasonable. Jane explained: "I can feel that [Da Yan] seems to be becoming restless and active." "This shows from the side that its structure is becoming increasingly unstable." "Unstable..." At this point, Jane herself reacted. explain "That''s right, because we destroyed two key nodes of [Great Flame] one after another." "It caused it to lose its original balance, and this is why such a change occurred." Shane suddenly realized. [Great Flame] itself is an existence possessing the [King]. At this time, the structure of [Great Flame] began to become unstable, and naturally the possessed state was released to a certain extent. Make them appear on the deck of the [King]. Just then. "Didi!" The communicator that had been silent before finally responded again. Xia En quickly connected the communication. "Hey hey hey?" "Can anyone hear me?" Immediately afterwards, an elderly man''s voice sounded from the communicator. Shane vaguely remembered. This is one of the members of the infiltration plan operation. His name is Torres. He is a veteran Mystic who is quite famous in the Seven Seas. With his reputation and deeds, even if he didn''t participate in this operation, no one would raise any objections. But in the end, Torres came. In his own words. It is a good destination for an old man like him to shine in the last moments of his life and contribute his own strength to save the world. At this time, Torres''s voice was hoarse and weak, and he repeated it again. "...Can anyone hear me?" Shane responded quickly. "Senior Torres, I''m here." Hearing his voice, Torres'' tone cheered up slightly. "I remember, you are Captain Shane of the [Black Swan], right?" "How is the situation over there?" Xia En said truthfully: "The operation went smoothly." "Although we have experienced some dangers, we have destroyed two nodes of [Great Flame]." "Senior, what about you?" "Huh? Two nodes?" Hearing this, Torres couldn''t help but be a little surprised and said with emotion. "Sure enough, the future life is to be feared." "My two other companions and I spent a lot of effort, and finally paid the price with our lives, to destroy just one node." "The price of life..." Upon hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly sank. Although before setting out on the expedition, he had predicted that this operation would be extremely dangerous. Among the action members, many people will sacrifice for this. But when he actually heard this from Torres, Shane still felt a little heavy. And it''s fast. Shane noticed that there was an unconcealable weakness in Torres'' tone, and he immediately woke up. "Senior...you?!" Torres said frankly. "That''s right." "In the previous memory scene, we were attacked by two legends, not just my two companions." "I am now seriously injured and I probably won''t be able to leave [Great Flame] alive." Xia En couldn''t help but fell silent. Counting Torres, three of the ten members of the previous operation had died. The life and death of three people, including Benny, are unknown and they have not been able to be contacted to this day. Please...you...collect_6_9__Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar) Such a casualty rate really makes people feel uncomfortable. Faced with impending death, Torres behaved calmly. "Captain Shane, there is no need to feel sad about our sacrifice." "Before setting off, we had already realized this in our hearts." Suddenly, Torres chuckled. "Honestly, I thought I wouldn''t be able to contact the other members of this operation." "I didn''t expect that at the end I could hear the good news you brought, Captain Shane." "If it were you..." "Perhaps we can inherit our last wish and completely eliminate the undead [Great Flame]." Speaking of this, Torres'' old voice was filled with solemnity and solemnity. "Captain Shane, please." "For us and for the world." "Stop this disaster!" Shane responded seriously: "I will do my best." "Ahem..." Torres coughed twice, the weakness in his words becoming more and more obvious. "By the way, there''s one more thing." "After everything calms down, please leave a last word for my wife and children." "I really, always love you all..." Xia En said sincerely: "I will." "Didi!" Just after he said these words, the communication between the two parties came to an abrupt end. The four people on the deck fell into a brief silence. No matter what, the sacrifices of fellow travelers are always heartbreaking Xia En was the first to adjust and said. "Let''s go. In order to prevent their sacrifices from being in vain, we must destroy the remaining nodes as soon as possible." "Yes! Captain Shane!" However, just when a group of four people were preparing to continue exploring this deck. Boom! There was a sudden roar above everyone''s heads. Shane looked up. I saw a gap in the gray and hazy sky. The scene was as if a powerful cannonball had penetrated the surface barrier and been forcibly carved out. Although in the next moment. This gap is healing rapidly. But its appearance itself illustrates the changes in the situation. Carles'' eyes lit up red and he said hoarsely. "What''s going on?" "Is there something attacking [Great Flame]?" "Is it possible that the federal government has launched a general attack on [Great Yan]?" General Moritz told them. In addition to their infiltration operations, the federal military has naturally prepared other strategies to deal with [The Great Flame]. One of them is the storming operation. As the name suggests, it is to directly launch a strong attack on [Great Yan]. But the problem is. [Great Yan]''s strength is truly unfathomable. The cost and sacrifice of launching a strong attack on him were unusually high. So, according to Moritz. Moritz would only know that after their infiltration operation completely failed For example, a strong attack will only be launched after all members of the operation are completely killed. But now. Although there were considerable sacrifices, Xia En and others also eliminated three nodes together. The entire operation was still considered smooth. How could the federal military suddenly launch a strong attack on [Great Flame]? Xia En suddenly realized something was wrong. And what made his heart sink even more. After this bombardment came from nowhere. Throughout [Great Flame], the restless atmosphere became more and more obvious. The secret power in the air began to stir. Even the surrounding scenery began to undergo indescribable changes. Gradually it becomes distorted and chaotic. "not good!" Jian''s expression changed slightly and he spoke. "[Great Yan] has become restless because of our destruction of nodes." "Now he''s being attacked again. I''m afraid...he will wake up right now!" Hearing this, Xia En''s expression quickly became extremely solemn. In fact. They were able to sneak into [Great Flame] and even successfully destroy several of its nodes. A big reason is... Great Yanis currently in a deep sleep state. In this state, He will only make some instinctive reactions, such as prohibiting the entry of Mysteries above Legend level. Nor will they attack the secret travelers from the outside world. But when He woke up. This situation will undoubtedly be reversed. The entire [Great Yan] interior may show greater malice towards outsiders like them. That is to say. Their next move will be even more dangerous. And the worst part is. After being awakened, [Great Flame] is very likely to attack the nearby federal navy, causing extremely heavy casualties. Xia En frowned and thought to himself. "Who initiated this impulsive attack?" at the same time. Far North Expeditionary Force Headquarters. Inside the meeting hall. Snap! Moritz, who had always kept his emotions secret, suddenly burst into anger. He slammed the table hard and asked his subordinates. "Who is it?!" "Who activated our hidden [God-Destroying Cannon] and launched an attack on [Great Flame]?" The officer in question was the general responsible for the management of the [Destroyer Cannon]. At this time, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He hadn''t seen General Morris look like this in years. But at this time, the officer could only say difficultly. "Someone used methods such as mental manipulation to control our soldiers." "This is how we temporarily seized control of the [God-Destroying Cannon]." Moritz frowned. "So, what about permissions?" "What about the permission to fire the [God-Destroying Cannon]?" The officer said tremblingly: "Actually, we found traces of external intrusion in the program of the [Annihilator Cannon]..." "I''m afraid that the other party used this method to crack the use rights." Upon hearing this, Moritz''s frown deepened. Intrusion program Manipulate the spirit This is clearly the specialty of the [Truth Society]! In other words, the person who controlled the [God-Destroying Cannon] and fired this cannon was clearly the handiwork of the [Truth Society]. But the question is, why do they do this? If the world of Qihai is destroyed, what good will it do to them? (End of chapter) Chapter 393 【The Wave is Coming】【Chorus Doll】 Chapter 393 [The Wave is Coming] [Xianlu Doll] Moritz originally thought. After all, the [Truth Society] is also a part of this world and will stand on the same front as them. Maybe it can provide some strength for this battle. Therefore, we just turn a blind eye to some of their behaviors. But now, the behavior of the [Truth Society] has undoubtedly completely offended Moritz. Moritz had never had such strong anger against any sect or force. The members of Operation Ming Ming are still fighting alone in the [Great Flame]. Such a shot can be said to have completely destroyed their retreat. What''s the difference between this and a **** backstab? "Okay...good for you [Truth Society]!" Moritz was filled with hatred and regarded the [Truth Society] as one of the targets that must be eradicated. But that''s about it. Outside the meeting hall, an officer suddenly opened the door and entered in a hurry. His face was full of anxiety and panic. "General Moritz, this is bad!" Moritz frowned and asked, "What''s going on?" The officer replied: "For some reason, all the filthy creatures on the ice sheet suddenly became restless and charged towards our station." Moritz narrowed his eyes. "A wave of filthy creatures?" "At this time?" Previously, there were speculations within the [Far North Expeditionary Force] Those filthy creatures awakening from under the ice in the Far North will turn into a menacing wave and attack them. However, no one expected it. The wave of filthy and chaotic creatures would sweep over at this time. It''s almost like... It''s like it was planned in advance. Obviously, facing such a wave, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is bound to suffer extremely heavy casualties. Not to mention, at the same time, there was also [Da Yan] who was gradually waking up. Under the pressure of both. It can be said. The situation that was finally stabilized and was improving will collapse in an instant. Putting the [Far North Expeditionary Force] into a situation where it could be destroyed at any time. "I''m afraid...their recovery is definitely not a coincidence." Moritz looked solemn and whispered to himself. but. Even in the face of such a bad situation. There was no panic or despair on Moritz''s face from beginning to end. He turned his head and looked seriously at the many officers in the meeting hall, his eyes sweeping across each of their faces. There was some indescribable power in that silent gaze. Let the officers present gradually calm down. Wait until everyone''s expressions calm down. Moritz spoke slowly. "Everyone!" "Right now, we will face the most severe challenge since the establishment of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]." "This battle will even determine the future of the Federation and even the world." "But didn''t we already have this awareness before we set off for the expedition?" He said solemnly. "I repeat, this battle is not for glory or profit, nor is it for the Federation." "But for...our own future!" "This is our struggle to survive!" Moritz waved his hand: "That''s all I have to say." "Now, give the order to the entire army... prepare to meet the enemy!" The soldiers responded in unison. "Yes! General Moritz!" at the same time. On a glacier in [the Far North]. Countless filthy creatures of all kinds are gathering together from all directions. Among them, there are the immortal ice crystal monsters and snow monsters covered with long white hair that Xia En came into contact with at the beginning. There are also other new varieties with weird and ugly shapes. For example, the snake man is covered in scales. Another example is a soft monster with a twisted body shape, as if it has no bones. There are also huge, walking icebergs. The ice layer on the surface is their skin, and in the depths, there are vaguely visible things like bones and flesh. Such filthy and chaotic creatures may not be particularly powerful if you take out one or two of them alone. But when they gather together and possess strange properties such as [immortality] and [contagion], they become more powerful. The destructive power it can cause only makes people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts. It can be said. This is simply an army composed of filthy and chaotic creatures, marching forward in a mighty manner. And on the ice sheet. All the scattered members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] suddenly changed their expressions after seeing such a wave, and fled away from them as quickly as possible. This is the right decision. because Such an enemy is no longer something that a few Secret Pathers can fight against alone. Even a legendary strongman will eventually be swallowed alive by this wave if he is surrounded by a wave of monsters and cannot escape in time. Only the federal army, which has an equally staggering number and possesses advanced weapons, can compete with it head-on. but. Not everyone chooses to run away after seeing such a scene. I saw an iceberg not too far away from the wave. There is a group of strangely dressed people. They were clearly divided into two groups of people, and there was a considerable distance between them. Some of them were wearing white coats, like researchers in a research institute. The other part is wearing a black robe and a hood. It looks extremely suspicious. But if Xia En were here, he would be able to see... The style of those black robes is clearly the standard equipment of [Black Flame Walker] - black flame robes! As for the identities of those researchers, it is even more clear. That is obviously a member of the [Truth Society]! at this time. Watch the dangerous and terrifying waves of monsters below. The leading member of the [Truth Society], instead of showing any panic or fear, showed a proud smile. "Everything is going according to plan." "The day we leave for the new world is one step closer..." However, not all [Truth Society] members approve of this behavior. One of the researchers couldn''t help but ask. "Mr. Yaen, I really don''t understand why we are doing this?" "Whether it''s controlling the God-Destroying Cannon to attack [Great Flame], awakening [Great Flame], or summoning these filthy creatures under the ice." "Wouldn''t it all cause a fatal blow to the [Far North Expeditionary Force]?" The researcher had strong confusion on his face and asked questions one after another. "Without the power of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]?" "How can we prevent the disaster of annihilation from happening?" "Aren''t you digging your own grave by doing this?" In fact, not only this researcher, but also other members of the [Truth Society] among this group of people hold similar views. Just like Moritz thought. After all, members of the [Truth Society] are also part of the Seven Seas world. Most of them still hope to prevent this disaster and protect their world. But at this time. The orders issued by the [Truth Society] high-level officials and what they have done are undoubtedly pushing this world into the abyss of destruction. This will naturally cause dissatisfaction and confusion among these members. Only then did this person ask the question at this moment. And to this. The man called Mr. Yaen just sneered. "Fimir, pay attention to your attitude." "You are just a mediocre person whose truth number is not in the top 100. What qualifications do you have to talk to me, a genius ranked tenth, like this?" Hearing this, Femi''s momentum suddenly froze and his face turned red. It is different from other organizations and forces where status is determined by rank and strength. In the [Truth Society], academic achievements and intelligence often occupy a greater proportion. Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) Simply put. If you want to be a high-ranking member of the [Truth Society], you dont have to be strong, but you definitely dont have to be smart! Like the top twenty members of the Truth Serial Number All are geniuses among geniuses. The research they have done, each taken individually, can have a huge impact on Nanami''s academic world. And this Mr. Yaen is the character of [Truth No. 010]. The code name is [Xianlu Doll]! In terms of status, he naturally far surpasses Femir, whose truth number is not in the top 100. Such academic pressure (abbreviated as academic pressure) immediately put Feimir in a weak position. And Yaen continued. "However, it is normal for mediocre people like you to be unable to understand the master''s great plan." "You are right. If we do this, it will indeed lead to the destruction of the Seven Seas world." But by then, we were already on our way to a glorious new world. "What is this world like, and what does it have to do with us?" A contemptuous smile appeared on Yaen''s lips. "After I leave, there won''t be any flooding!" "New world..." Hearing this, a bit of struggle flashed across Fimiel''s face, but he still asked with difficulty. "What is the new world?" "You keep saying that you can reach a wonderful new world." "But if that new world is not as good as our current Seven Seas world, then where should we go from here?" "No matter what, there is definitely something wrong with what we are doing now!" It is not difficult to hear from Fimmels words that there are still normal people in the [Truth Society]. However, such voices are too rare. "Yeah?" Yaen glanced at him coldly. "In other words, you want to resist my order?" Under the pressure released by Yaen, Femir trembled slightly and turned pale, but he still said firmly. "That''s right." "We must not destroy our world." laugh! Without any warning, a thin line of blood suddenly appeared on Fimiel''s neck. Feimier opened his eyes wide and couldn''t believe it. "you" The next moment. Femir''s head slipped straight down and fell on the pale white glacier, leaving a trace behind. Crimson blood stains. There was still a strong reluctance on that face. He never thought that he would die here like this. "Fimir!" "Ya En...you! You actually killed him directly?" Yaen''s actions naturally attracted the surprised gazes and questions from other [Truth Society] members. Although they [the Truth Society] don''t mind using violent methods. But under normal circumstances, I am more accustomed to convincing people with reason. After all, the so-called truth always becomes clearer with more debate. If you don''t even give the other party the right to speak, how can there be a debate? so. Ya En''s behavior at this time undoubtedly violated the basic unspoken rules of the [Truth Society]. The other members couldn''t help but look at him with a bit of fear and vigilance. He dared to kill Fimir. This means that he may take action against himself and others at any time. But this time. To the other people present, Yaen showed a warm smile. "Don''t worry, as long as you obey my orders and open up the road to the new world with me." "I won''t do anything to you." This obviously cannot appease everyone''s mood. Another [Truth Society] member said. "Jane, what you did violated our [Truth Society] creed." "I want to expose your behavior to the president!" "hehe" Yaen smiled disdainfully. "Do you think the master will be on your side?" "Forget it, I have nothing to say to you mediocre people." "I just need you to contribute your efforts to the new world. That''s enough." While saying this. There seemed to be a strange rhythm that spread along with Yaen''s words. And when this melody reached everyone''s ears, their expressions became temporarily sluggish. Subsequently. The anger on the face of the person who asked the question quickly dissipated, and he murmured to himself. "Yes, the new world..." "If it''s for a new world, it''s worth paying any price." "What does the sacrifice of just one or two people mean?" It''s not just him. Almost all members of the [Truth Society] present showed similar expressions. There seems to be a steel seal of thought, accompanying this melody, gradually being engraved in the depths of their minds. Making traveling to the new world their most important goal at the moment. But not everyone is affected by such music. Another [Truth Society] member with a certain amount of mental resistance looked at Ya En not far away with a mix of shock and anger. "Yan, what on earth did you do?" "You actually exert mental control over your companions?" The reason why Yaen is called "The Rhythm Doll" is precisely because of his secret ability, which can distort the thinking of others with the help of rhythm. But even his colleagues did not expect that Yaen would use this ability on them! And it''s fast. This member of the [Truth Society] who was still awake suddenly realized something. "No wonder" "Recently, a trend of ''doing whatever it takes for the so-called new world'' has gradually emerged in the [Truth Society]." "It turns out...it was you!" Naturally, no one who can become a member of the [Truth Society] is a fool. The only remaining sober person, after thinking for a moment, realized a more terrifying possibility. The master in Ya Ens mouth is the elusive president of the [Truth Society]. Then, Yaen''s brainwashing of the members most likely came from the instruction of the president! Thinking of this, the man suddenly felt chills all over his body. And Yaen''s words came from behind him. "Smart people tend to die quickly." "Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of luck..." (End of chapter) Chapter 394 【Rebel】【King in the Sea of ??Fire】 Chapter 394 [Rebel] [King in the Sea of ??Fire] The last few members of the [Truth Society] who remained conscious died at the hands of Ya En. There was no longer any objection among the group. There was a strange kind of enthusiasm on everyone''s faces. Like a fanatic''s belief in a god. But at this time, their enthusiasm was for that illusory and extremely mysterious new world. Saw this scene. Ya En couldn''t help but show a look of satisfaction on his face. Only by uniting our forces can we better complete the master''s plan. - Eliminate all opposing voices. How can this not be a form of unity? And in a farther place. The [Black Flame Walkers] wearing black robes watched the infighting among the members of the [Truth Society] with cold eyes. Neither stopped nor helped any of them. After all, they were not fellow travelers from the beginning, but only had a temporary cooperative relationship. As long as you can achieve your goals. Naturally, he doesn''t care about the other person''s life or death. However, looking at the mighty monster waves under the glacier. Some [Black Flame Walkers] also showed some wavering emotions. someone asked their leader. "Lord Mo Yan, is this really the right thing for us to do?" "Can we really go back to the [Great Yan Country]?" Compared to the wavering of his subordinates, the [Black Flame Walker] known as Mo Yan acted particularly resolutely, without any wavering in his tone. "Of course it''s correct." Mo Yan responded: "If it weren''t for this, how could we cooperate with these guys with bad brains?" If anyone else heard their conversation at this time, they would definitely think it was a fantasy. The purpose of this group of [Black Flame Walkers] is to return to the long-destroyed [Great Flame Kingdom]! However, most of the [Black Flame Walkers] here are convinced that this goal can be achieved. In fact. This is the fundamental reason why they cooperate with the [Truth Society]. Not that long ago. [Truth Society] made a promise to [Black Flame Walker]. It will create for them a [Great Yan Kingdom] that is the same as before. Let them live happily, peacefully and proudly in their own country as they have for hundreds of years. And the one the [Truth Society] dares to rely on to make such a promise is naturally this undead named [Great Flame]. Just collect enough information from this undead and transform it into what they expected. The former [Great Yan Kingdom] will come back. Because of this. This part of the [Black Flame Walkers] will assist the [Truth Society] and launch bombardments on the [Great Flame], thereby waking him up in advance. The purpose is to prevent the [Far North Expeditionary Force] from destroying [Great Flame] in advance. certainly. Some [Black Flame Walkers] actually know very well that the reshaped [Great Yan Kingdom] will eventually be somewhat different from the real [Great Yan Kingdom]. It might even be just an illusion, a dream. But whats wrong with the world of illusion? The reality is too cruel. The people they loved, cherished, and wanted to protect had all been destroyed by the disaster. Together with the once prosperous [Great Yan Kingdom], they were buried in the dust of history. As long as I can return to that [Great Yan Country] and live with the people I want to see... So what if everything is an illusion? As for other people in the modern Seven Seas world, what does it have to do with them? - Just like no one cares about or understands the sacrifices made by [Great Yan Kingdom] in these hundreds of years. Since, the people and history of the world have forgotten them. [Black Flame Walker] What reason does he have to sacrifice himself again to protect the world? Look at it from this point of view. These [Black Flame Walkers] and [Truth Society] members have one thing in common. That is... In order to achieve their goals, they no longer care about other people''s opinions and feelings. The deaths of people on the Seven Seas, the destruction of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], the coming of the second great flood... everything is just a necessary sacrifice. Listening to the conversation between Mo Yan and others. Among the crowd, an inconspicuous [Black Flame Walker] showed a worried expression. His identity is different from the people around him. He is an undercover agent sent by King Xin to lurk among the rebels. Watching other people''s emotions getting higher and higher. The undercover agent felt particularly heavy and murmured in his heart. "How did things develop to this point?" actually. After the [Black Flame Walkers] wake up. The idea of ??going back to the past and being hostile to the people of the Seven Seas has spread among them in a small and medium-sized area, and has gained certain recognition. It was only the admiration, respect and loyalty to King Xin that kept this view in check. There was no greater impact. Simply put. They may think so, but they won''t act on it. Since ancient times, people have no regard for their heart. As long as the [Black Flame Walkers] still obey King Xin''s orders, King Xin will not be able to do anything to them. Only time can heal [Black Flame Walker]''s sadness and anger. If it continues like this. Maybe there will be no rebels, let alone the collusion between the [Black Flame Walker] and the [Truth Society]. However. With Mo Yan''s betrayal, the situation spiraled out of control. Ink flame. It is a flame like ink. It has the same meaning as the "black flame" of [Black Flame Walker]. This shows that Mo Yan has a special status among the [Black Flame Walkers]. It can be said. He is a member of the first batch of [Black Flame Walkers] and is also the elder among the elders of [Black Flame Walkers]. at the same time. Mo Yan was once one of King Xin''s most trusted subordinates. But it happened that such a number one person finally chose to betray King Xin and led his men to establish the so-called rebel organization. If it weren''t for Mo Yan''s prestige and reputation, it would not have been possible to attract so many [Black Flame Walkers] to join him. To this day. Many people, including this undercover agent, couldn''t figure out why Mo Yan betrayed King Xin? And at this time. The undercover agent didn''t even need to speak before another [Black Flame Walker] asked. "Lord Mo Yan, then... where is King Xin?" "In the [Great Yan Kingdom] created by the [Truth Society], will there also be a salary king?" Although the rebels have nominally betrayed Wang and cooperated with the [Truth Society]. But it has to be said. The respect for King Xin is still deeply engraved in their hearts. How can this deep-rooted thought be eradicated in a short time? So much so that the very fact of being enemies with King Xin gave them a lot of psychological burden. Even some [Black Flame Walkers] have the idea of ????persuading King Xin to "introduce him to the right path". In response, Mo Yan shook his head and said. "I have already said that the current salary king is no longer the salary king we know." "He has been polluted by this world, forgotten his original intention, and abandoned the former [Great Yan Kingdom]." Hearing this, the [Black Flame Walker] who asked the question still murmured. "But, he is still the king after all..." These words caused several [Black Flame Walkers] nearby to fall into silence. They naturally knew that what they had done was already a betrayal of King Xin. However, the thought of confronting King Xin head-on. Their mood inevitably becomes a little heavy and complicated. Seeing the expressions of his companions, Mo Yan hesitated and sighed. "It seems...it''s time to tell you about that." Mo Yan looked around at the people around him and continued. "You haven''t always been curious." "As King Xin''s once most trusted subordinate, why would I betray King Xin, become a member of the rebels, and cooperate with the [Truth Society]?" "Now, I will tell you the truth of the matter." Mo Yan silently raised his voice and said to everyone. Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) "If I really want to say it, it''s not that I betrayed King Xin." "But..." "King Xin took the lead in betraying us and the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]!" As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence. Everyone looked at Mo Yan with shocked eyes. Even the boldest and most arrogant [Black Flame Walker] would not dare to say such a thing. Because everyone knows that King Xins dedication and love for [Great Yan Kingdom]. No one will deny Xin Wangs efforts to save the world. even Without King Xin, there would be no birth of [Great Yan Kingdom] at all. But at this time. Mo Yan said, King Xin betrayed [Great Yan Kingdom]? This sounds really ridiculous! The undercover agent couldn''t help but ask. "Lord Mo Yan, are you crazy?" "Do you know what you''re talking about?" Mo Yan seemed to have anticipated the reactions of others and continued. "I know, you will think what I say is like fantasy." "But I can guarantee with my life that everything I say is the truth." "And, I also brought you evidence..." The words just fell. Mo Yan''s finger pointed slightly in the air. A translucent light curtain unfolded. A changing scene began to appear above it. The scene on the screen quickly silenced everyone present. I saw that on the light screen, a sea of ??fire gradually appeared. fire! There are blazing flames everywhere! The raging sea of ??fire is engulfing everything. From the collapsing houses, thick billowing black smoke rose into the sky, as if to dye the dim sky into red and black colors. Even through the light curtain, everyone seemed to be able to feel the burning smell and the hot temperature rushing towards their faces. And every [Black Flame Walker] present can recognize it. What was shrouded in flames was the [Great Yan Kingdom] they were familiar with! The towns and buildings were all as they remembered them. And at this time. This sea of ??fire submerged not just a single city, but the entire [Great Yan Kingdom]! Xifeng City, Beimang City, Handong Port, Lenglie Corridor... These are cities or regions that they are familiar with and are extremely familiar with. At this moment, everything was swallowed up and burned by the raging flames. Those fortresses, schools, city walls that they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build... All of them gave out their last screams in the flames. Then pieces collapsed, turning into ruins in a sea of ??fire. And wasn''t it just the buildings that were engulfed by the flames? There are countless civilians in the city. They seemed to have no idea what was happening and were suddenly involved in this disaster. People were crying and wailing in the sea of ????fire, with panic and pain on their faces. "Help, who will save us?" "What happened to this fire?" "Mom...I don''t want to die..." Some people were even shouting King Xin''s name. "King! King of salary!" "Where are you? Have you abandoned your people?" Seeing this scene, many [Black Flame Walkers] couldn''t help but widen their eyes, and huge waves arose in their hearts. "What...what the **** is going on?" "Did this really happen?" "Why has there never been such a fire in my memory?" The reason for their sudden change in attitude. It''s because, in their impression, the only person who could cause such a fire that swept the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] was King Xin! But the problem is... How could King Xin use such flames on his own people? Mo Yan looked at the scene in the light curtain and said with a complicated expression. "Do any of you still remember...how we fell into sleep?" And what happened before we fell asleep? Hearing this, everyone couldn''t help but fell silent. All smart [Black Flame Walkers] have long realized that their memory is actually lacking. Especially the memories before falling into deep sleep and when disaster strikes are extremely blurry. I can''t recall it anyway. But most people only think that it is a side effect of sleeping on life support devices. Very few people would associate it with King Xin. But after seeing the scene in the light curtain and being reminded by Mo Yan, they finally noticed something. Mo Yan continued: "Don''t you have any doubts..." "Why do we have such vague memories of what happened before we fell asleep?" "And why does this symptom appear in everyone?" "Now, I can tell you that the reason why we lost this memory was precisely King Xin''s work!" "The purpose is to hide the truth in this period of history!" while he was speaking. The scene on the light screen changed again. The perspective that previously focused on the entire country continues to shrink and shrink again. Finally, it landed in a city. That is the capital of [Great Yan Kingdom] Fanyan City! Move with the perspective. Soon, the scene in the [Great Yan] Palace appeared on the light screen. But that picture shocked everyone present. I saw. In the burning palace, under the crumbling ruins. The tall and majestic king sat alone on his lonely throne, looking at the city and country shrouded in a sea of ??fire. Like a sculpture. His face was hidden in the shadows, and no one could see his expression clearly at this time. But there is no doubt that all [Black Flame Walkers] can recognize That is the king of [Great Yan Kingdom], King Xin! (End of chapter) Chapter 395 [The truth behind the destruction of the Chapter 395 [The truth about the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom] The scene presented in the light curtain caused everyone present to fall into silence. Because this scene seemed to prove their previous conjecture. The initiator of this fire that burned down the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] was none other than King Xin, whom they trusted and respected so much! The reason is simple. If this fire was not caused by King Xin. So how could he sit on the throne like this and let the fire rage when faced with the flames burning the palace and the country in front of him? If it were the King Xin they were familiar with, he would definitely absorb and extinguish those flames as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the fire. On the other hand. Many [Black Flame Walkers] have long seen some familiar characteristics from this fire. It seems like everything can be ignited. It seems like it will never go out. Arent these characteristics exactly what King Xins flame possesses? As the subordinate closest to King Xin, [Black Flame Walker] naturally would not admit this matter. In this way, the truth will be revealed. The real cause of the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom] was not the coming of the world-destroying flood. But to be burned up by the flames of King Xin? ! Such a shocking fact, how can we prevent the [Black Flame Walkers] present from being shocked like never before? "This...how is this possible?" "How could [Great Yan Kingdom] be destroyed at the hands of King Xin?" The first reaction of everyone was naturally disbelief. Especially the undercover agent who lurked among the rebels had the most intense reaction. He immediately retorted loudly. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" "These scenes are absolutely fake!" "Someone must have deliberately distorted and tampered with the true records in order to smear King Xin." Mo Yan looked at this man with pity in his eyes and said softly. "I used to have the same idea as you, thinking that this was all an illusion deliberately created by others." "But if you recall carefully..." "Is there really no such fire in your memory?" After hearing Mo Yan''s words, the undercover agent''s expression changed slightly. At this time, he once again began to try to remember what happened before he fell into a long sleep. This time, things changed immediately. It''s different from the previous state where I couldn''t recall any memory fragments. Now, he vaguely remembered some fragmentary scenes. flame Flames in all directions, flames everywhere... Collapsed houses, crying people, burnt corpses... One brief fragment after another flashed through his mind like a shooting star. Fleeting, yet extremely real. This means - That was definitely not an illusion, but a scene that really happened in his memory! This [Black Flame Walker] suddenly woke up. There seemed to be some kind of seal in his memory. And as he saw the scene in the light curtain, the invisible seal gradually began to loosen. It allowed him to slightly recall those long-lost memories. And this just proves the authenticity of Mo Yan''s words. King Xin did indeed do something to their memories. It seems to be just to hide this fire that happened in the past! "No, I don''t believe it!" "There is no way the king would do such a thing..." Even at this moment, the trust and loyalty to King Xin still prevented the undercover agent from completely believing Mo Yan''s words. he still insisted. "I''m going to ask the king for the truth!" Hearing this, the sympathy in Mo Yan''s eyes became more intense. He looked at the other person as if he were looking at his old self. Mo Yan continued: "Even you know how to go directly to Wang Xin to question him face to face." "Do you think, after learning about this, I won''t go to the salary king for confirmation?" "And since I''m standing here, you should understand... what is the final result?" The undercover murmured: "You mean..." Mo Yan nodded: "Yes." "Wang Xin made no excuses and directly admitted his behavior." "He told me that what I was seeing was real." "The person who ultimately destroyed [Great Flame] was none other than himself as the king!" At this point, Mo Yan''s smile suddenly became extremely bitter and he said hoarsely. "Can you imagine how I felt after learning the truth?" The undercover agent shook his body and defended himself. "Perhaps...the king has his own reasons." In response, Mo Yan just sneered. "I don''t care what difficulties he has, I only know that he destroyed our [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "Such a fact cannot be explained by any reason." "Although I still respect his character, I will never obey his orders again." At this time, Mo Yan laughed coldly. He was clearly smiling, but there were tears flowing out of his eyes, and his expression was uglier than crying. "Hahaha" "To me, it was like my faith and my whole world collapsed on that day, that moment." "After that, I will no longer care about salary king! What morality!" "I just want to go back to the old [Great Yan Country], and I just want to live with the people I love." "Even if it''s an illusion, it doesn''t matter!" "I''d fight the whole world for that." Mo Yan looked around with sharp eyes. "Now, I have told you the truth of the matter." "What will you choose?" "Should you continue to follow the corrupted King Xin, or return to the embrace of [Great Yan Kingdom] with me?" [Black Flame Walker], who was shaken before, gradually became firm after hearing these words. They have all made their decisions. Even the face of the undercover agent showed a strong struggle. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty. "I choose..." Just when the situation in the [Far North] was turbulent and strange. Great FlameInside. The scene around Xia En and others also underwent indescribable changes. I saw some chaotic scenes gradually appearing on the deck of the [King]. First, large tracts of glaciers suddenly lay in front of Xia En and others. It radiates an astonishing chill. But in a blink of an eye. The glacier transformed into a burning city. The buildings in the city crackled and exploded in flames. There were also shouts and cries for help coming from the burning houses. Another trance-like moment. The burning city was restored to its original state. Bustling crowds of people are walking through the streets, and there are various shops on both sides of the streets. There are also vendors shouting around, making it look bustling and lively. It was exactly the same as Fanyan City before King Xins wedding. And the most surprising thing is. These scenes did not appear alone in front of Xia En and others. Instead, they appeared in various areas on the deck of the [King] at the same time. For example in. On Xia En''s left hand side is the endless glacier, and on the right hand side is the burning city. But in such a scene. Shane could even see the original deck and turret of the King. This makes the whole scene look increasingly chaotic and bizarre. It''s like a scene that would appear in a dream. It''s like a hallucination caused by eating too many fungi. But Xia En truly knows that this is not an illusion, but a real reality! Looking at the scene in front of him, An Bing couldn''t help but look surprised. "What on earth is this..." Beside her, Jane explained with a serious face. "I''m afraid...this is also the consequences of the suspected shelling attack just now." "After the three nodes that were destroyed by us, the state of [Great Yan] is already unstable." "I encountered such an attack again, and I started to wake up gradually." Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) "The internal structure is naturally more chaotic." Jane paused and continued. "Now, the boundaries of those memory scenes are becoming blurred and confusing." "Not only will they appear at the same time, but they may be mixed with each other." "This means that every next step we take may lead to other memory scenes." "In order to avoid being spread out, I suggest that we stay as close as possible." After hearing this, Xia En quickly understood [Dayan]''s current situation. If the scene in front of them were compared to a painting. Originally, the layer of [Great Flame] was overlaid on [King]. The different memory scenes created by [Great Flame] are distributed throughout the [King]. Each layer has clear boundaries and will not interfere or affect each other. And you can''t move in and out of other layers at will. Layers can only be crossed through special entrances and exits. For example, the door of the previous cabin, or the imitation [Eternal Coffin]. But at this time. As the entire picture scroll structure oscillates. Different layers began to cover the "King" at the same time, and they continued to blend and overlap. This constitutes such a chaotic scene. It is very likely that the next second, they will break into another memory scene without warning. And this time. Xia En''s eyes fell on the blazing sea of ??fire and asked curiously. "What''s that?" "Is it a fire in the city?" He already knew it. The memory scenes recreated by [Great Yan] are all things that happened in [Great Yan Kingdom]. It is the common memory of the people of [Great Yan Kingdom]. However, in Xia En''s memory, he had never heard of such a fire in [Great Yan Kingdom]. then. Xia En looked at An Bing with questioning eyes. As the princess of [Great Yan], An Bing should know better than herself the major events that have happened in [Great Yan Kingdom]. Maybe, you know the information related to it. But what surprised Xia En. Looking at the city in the sea of ??fire, An Bing also showed a look of shock and confusion, and murmured. "What''s going on with this fire?" "Why did I never know that there was such a fire in [Great Yan Country]?" Xia En frowned slightly: "Don''t you even know An Bing?" After thinking about it, he asked: "An Bing, you have never left [Great Yan Kingdom], right?" "Yes." An Bing nodded and said: "Since I was born, I have stayed in the [Far North], and later I have been living in Fanyan City." "I have never taken a step outside [Great Yan Country]." "If such a terrible fire had happened, there''s no way I wouldn''t have known about it." Shane asked: "You mean...the fire was fake?" An Bing said with some uncertainty. "Perhaps there is some deviation in [Da Yan''s] memory?" "Or maybe someone entered wrong memories into it?" But this time. Jane suddenly asked a question. "Although it''s a bit presumptuous, I want to make sure." "Miss An Bing, can you guarantee that your memory is complete?" An Bing was a little confused: "The memory... is complete..." "What does that mean?" Jane continued. "I heard Captain Shane say that you don''t seem to remember the memories before you fell asleep." "What I want to ask is, is the time when the fire occurred located in your missing memory?" Hearing this, An Bing was stunned. "The memory I''m missing..." All of a sudden. There was some pain and struggle on An Bing''s face. Some pictures that had been forgotten for a long time came to mind. Among them was the familiar face of King Xin. In the haze. An Bing vaguely saw King Xin holding him in his arms, slowly walking towards a coffin that seemed to be made of ice crystals. It is the imitation of [Eternal Coffin]. He looked down at himself with a touch of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes. "I may become a sinner of [Great Yan Kingdom]... But even so, I will struggle until the last moment." "And you don''t need to bear all this." "Get some sleep. When you wake up, it will all be over." An Bing struggled to open his lips, wanting to say something to him. But no sound came out of his throat. His mind was even more groggy, and an irresistible sleepiness was coming over him. Afterwards, she was put into the cold ice coffin, and she only saw King Xin''s back getting further and further away from her. "call!" An Bing exhaled sharply and opened his eyes again. Only then did I realize that I was still there. On the deck of the [King]. Xia En and others were looking at him with concern. An Bing couldn''t help turning his head to look at Jane aside, and asked warily. "What did you do to me?" Jane said thoughtfully. "It seems that you did recall some things." "Don''t worry, I just performed simple psychological treatment on you." "Using conversation and the guidance of secret power can relax your mind and remind you of forgotten things." "It''s a kind of therapy, right?" "But right now, it''s not the time to explain it in detail." "More than this, I want to know, what exactly did you recall?" Dark Ice replied. "It''s just some scenes before I fell asleep." "However, now I can confirm that I have indeed lost a memory before my long sleep." "This fire probably happened during that time period, that is...when the world-destroying flood was about to come!" Hearing this, Xia En frowned deeper. According to An Bing, the fire happened in the last moments of [Great Yan Kingdom]. But what exactly could be its cause? Could it be...the aftermath of the war between King Xin and others? Shane felt vaguely. He is only one step away from the truth of the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom]. That''s when. The communicator in his arms rang again. (End of chapter) Chapter 396 [Walking towards the sea of ??fire] Chapter 396 [Walking towards the sea of ??fire] "rustle" Perhaps due to the unstable internal state of [Great Flame], obvious noises came from the communicator. "This is Hui Cult Pastor La Tiwen..." "Other members of the infiltration operation, please reply if you hear it!" Hearing this familiar voice, Xia En couldn''t help but feel refreshed. "La Tiwen, this is Xia En, how is the situation over there?" "Captain Shane?" Latiwen''s tone suddenly took on a hint of surprise. But he also knew that it was not time to relax yet, so he said quickly. "I''m staying with Major Benny and Reverend William." "Originally we were exploring a memory scene, but suddenly we were transported to another strange space." "There are burning buildings everywhere, and many civilians are fleeing, as if they are in a fire." "However, it is precisely because of the teleportation to this space." "Our communicator has only regained the signal and can we contact you." "Fire..." Hearing this, Xia En immediately looked at the memory scene covered in fire not far away. It''s obvious. At this time, Latiwen and others were trapped in this memory scene. "Oh, right." Latiwen continued. "One more thing, we perceive the existence of nodes in this memory scene." "Now, we are rushing towards the direction of the node." Xia En''s heart moved. One of the last two nodes is actually located in this burning city? This is undoubtedly good news. At least it pointed out the direction for their next actions. No need to search through various memory scenes like a headless fly. So, Shane said. "We will enter the memory scene where you are now. It is best to keep the communication open so that we can meet up later." Latiwen quickly responded: "Okay, Captain Shane." But suddenly. boom! A huge roar came from the communicator, like the sound of some huge building collapsing. Immediately afterwards. It was a terrifying roar. Then the howling wind sounded. Even through the communicator, Xia En seemed to be able to feel the waves of air sweeping over him. It was like a monster rushing towards the owner of the communicator. "La Tiwen, be careful!" This is the voice of Pastor William of [Netherworld Sect]. But then. Click! Click! On the other end of the communicator, there was a sudden sound of collision and shattering. Xia En couldn''t help but his heart sank and he asked quickly. "La Tiwen, La Tiwen, are you okay?" "Shasha... Shasha..." At this time, the noise in the communicator became more intense. After a while, Latiwen''s somewhat panicked voice was faintly heard. "Captain Shane, we...Shasha...were attacked by unknown creatures in this sea of ??fire." "...Shasha... No, they are monsters who blaspheme life, undead who should have died long ago!" "After you encounter them, please be careful..." The communication came to an abrupt end. All that remained was an unsettling murmur. Xia En suddenly felt solemn. Obviously. In addition to this raging fire, there are other unpredictable dangers in the sea of ????fire. And at this time. It was impossible for Xia En to rush to Latiwen and others as soon as possible. He could only pray that they could survive this crisis safely. Then, Xia En looked at his companion beside him and said directly. "let''s go." "In this sea of ??fire, there may be answers we want to know." Whether it is for the purpose of joining up with companions, to eliminate the node of [Great Flame], or to explore the truth of the matter. They all need to personally enter this city shrouded in fire. Of course, Xia En also knew the dangers of this sea of ??fire. And to this. An Bing, Carles and Jane have all realized this a long time ago. Without any hesitation, they followed Xia En and walked into the city dyed red by the flames. As Shane crossed an invisible boundary. A wave of hot air hit his face. The pungent burnt smell filled the air. Every breath was like inhaling a sharp needle, which stung my nose and throat. Not far away. Flames rose into the sky, like an enraged beast from hell, baring its teeth and claws unscrupulously. The tongues of fire licked everything around crazily, and the red light illuminated the night sky like day. The billowing smoke twisted and swirled in the firelight, like a ghost dancing to the disaster. This situation is like a scene that can only be seen in purgatory. The temperature I felt on the deck of the King before was nothing compared to the heat wave in front of me now. Even with Xia En''s physique, walking in such a fire scene would cause his skin to be burned and painful. The sweat was evaporated as soon as it seeped out, leaving only a sticky layer of salt. It was as if even the hair was set on fire by the heat. Fortunately it was very quick. An Bing on the side stretched out his delicate hand. An icy chill then covered their bodies. It was like forming a protective film of icy secret power to protect them from the harm of high temperatures. But at the same time. An Bing said with a solemn expression. "The flames here are extraordinary." "Even I can''t completely shield the temperature of this flame." "Staying in this fire scene for too long may cause irreversible damage to the body." "Is there still a time limit..." Shane nodded. "I understand, let''s try to resolve it as quickly as possible." Then, Shane turned to look at Jane. "Ms. Jian, can you locate Latiwen and the others?" Jane replied: "I''ll give it a try." "However, the flames nearby seem to be able to not only burn physical matter, but also ignite secret power and perception." Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows. A fire that can be lit by anything? He is actually not unfamiliar with this characteristic. Because he had seen this characteristic from Yan Yan with his own eyes. So. The identity of the initiator of this fire seems to be clear at a glance. However, Shane looked around. Looking at the crumbling buildings in the flames, looking at the charred cities and scorched corpses in the ruins, as well as the surviving people of the [Great Yan Kingdom]. He only felt an indescribable absurdity. If this is really the case, then the fate of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] would be too sad. Shane thought. Behind this, there must be some hidden secret that he doesn''t know about yet. It''s too early to draw conclusions now. With this idea in mind, Xia En and others moved forward while observing the surrounding scene. It didn''t take long. They found a commoner who could barely communicate. This is a young man who is not very old. The clothes on his body were burned to pieces in the fire, with several charred holes. His face was covered with black dust, and he looked particularly embarrassed. only. Unlike other survivors who fled in a hurry and looked desperate. This man was just sitting in a corner of the street in a daze. His emotional state was relatively stable and he seemed to be able to communicate. So, Shane stepped forward. Ask directly. "What''s going on in this city?" "What happened to this fire?" The man raised his head and looked at Xia En blankly. His eyes had lost their sparkle, leaving only a heart-stopping emptiness and despair. Please...you...Collect_69Book(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!) "Failed, failed, failed, failed..." "We are finished... [Great Yan Kingdom] is also finished..." Shane frowned. What failed? Did King Xins plan fail? But if we fail to prevent a major flood from coming, shouldn''t the entire city be flooded? How could it turn into such a fire that burned the entire city? And this time. Xia En noticed that this man was wearing a dark robe. That is the black flame robe of [Black Flame Walker]. That is to say. Is this man actually one of the [Black Flame Walkers]? Maybe, he will know some more information. Thinking of this, Xia En took out [Fire] and said. "We are King Xin''s subordinates." "Please cooperate and tell us what happened before this?" Seeing the [Fire] that exuded the aura of King Xin, the black flame walker lit up slightly, but it quickly dimmed. He spoke hoarsely. "Ice...the ice that freezes everything." "The ritual... is a trap..." "Curse...monster...only fire can remove..." Listening to these words, Xia En could see that this man''s spirit was obviously not normal anymore. The words coming out of his mouth were even more intermittent and incoherent. There seems to be no logic. Think about it carefully. The reason why this man stood there blankly was not because he was calm enough. But because... Under the huge mental shock, he has gone crazy! And the words in his mouth were more like the ravings of a madman! But even so. Shane also learned some important information from these broken words. He had witnessed the meeting between King Xin and Laila through the [Eternal Coffin]. Therefore, it was learned that King Xin planned to use the rituals spoken by the [Omniscient Sage] to prevent the coming of the great flood. at the moment. This [Black Flame Walker] called that ritual a "trap." This shows - The failure of King Xin''s plan is most likely related to this ritual and the [Omniscient Sage]. in fact Shane wasn''t surprised. After all, from the beginning, the performance of this [Omniscient Sage] was extremely suspicious. Later, the [Truth Society] attacked the underground research institute. It is only natural that he would play tricks on this ritual. But, its still the same sentence. Faced with the impending flood, King Xin didn''t have much choice. One is the pessimistic approach of doing nothing and waiting to die. The other is to try a path with a certain success rate. If it were Xia En, he would definitely choose the latter. Regardless of the final outcome, he will never sit still and wait for death. And actually. King Xin''s efforts were not a complete failure, at least he was able to seal half of the flood. Let this world not be completely submerged directly. Otherwise. There would be no Seven Seas Federation, let alone the appearance of Xia En. Just look at it now. The price of Xinwang''s success seems extremely cruel. And another sentence from this [Black Flame Walker] also made Xia En very concerned. ice? Where did the ice come from? Especially at this time, when there is a sea of ??fire in all directions. This crazy man mentioned the existence of ice. This is undoubtedly extremely unusual. Could it be that this [Black Flame Walker] had a hallucination after going insane? Before Xia En could figure out the reason behind this. The [Black Flame Walker] in front of him suddenly changed strangely. The man roared like a beast. Subsequently. A black flame burned out of thin air on his body surface. It spread from the chest to the arms, limbs, head...and even every corner of the body. His skin, flesh, and bones became charred black at a speed visible to the naked eye. His body stooped, and his clothes were burned in an instant. His eyeballs also disappeared. Only two black flames remained in the dark eye sockets, staring at Xia En in front of him. At this time, the man did not have a human form. He clearly looked like a charred corpse coming out of purgatory! All these changes happened in just one second. It didn''t feel like he was burned by flames. But... This is what he originally looked like! It was just that under the guise of some kind of power, he temporarily assumed the appearance of a normal person. And this black flame only made him return to his original appearance. And this time. Xia En inexplicably thought of the curse mentioned by this man. "Could it be...that this is a curse imposed on them?" But this burnt undead obviously wouldn''t give Xia En much time to think. After letting out a low growl, he rushed towards him. The smelly wind howled with scorching heat. Faced with such an attack, Xia En covered the surface of his fist with [Great Dark Sky] and punched out without hesitation. There was a muffled sound of "boom"! The charred corpse immediately fell apart and turned into a pile of debris. Have a hidden profession like [Secret Keeper]. As Xia En comes into contact with more and more secrets, the density of interpretations continues to increase. His overall quality and strength have made great progress again, and he can naturally do this with pure strength. Just quickly. Xia En realized that the charred corpses scattered on the ground had not completely rested, and stopped his actions. Instead, they slowly come together and gradually piece together into their original posture. Seeing this scene, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. He had seen this kind of immortality in the ice crystal monsters in the [Far North]! Shane suddenly realized. Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of this man''s words. The real curse may not be this state of charred corpses, but... Those various [filthy creatures] in the [Far North]! They have been contaminated by the filthy secret power, and their souls are imprisoned in polluted and mutated bodies, and they will never be able to escape forever. The soul can only be allowed to go crazy over a long period of time. This is the truly terrible curse. So, what is the purpose of this fire... (End of chapter) Chapter 397 [Copy of King Xin] Chapter 397 [Copy of King Xin] Many thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind. But right now, the crisis is not over yet. It''s not just the charred corpses that are still gathering in front of him. From the burning ruins nearby, several suppressed roars began to come out one after another. Thinking about it, it was the strange change of this undead that stimulated other beings in this sea of ??fire. Let them change into their proper form. As a part of [Great Flame], these existences naturally harbor strong malice towards outsiders like Xia En. To expel them from this place. This situation is exactly the same as the situation when [Fan Yan City] was surrounded by the undead. Thinking of this, Xia En said to Carles and others without thinking, no longer caring about the corpse that was still being reorganized around him. "We have to speed up." "Jane, how are you? Have you locked Latiwen and the others'' location?" Jane had long realized the seriousness of the situation, and in the depths of her eyes, silver-gray light kept flashing. That is countless chaotic information and data flowing. And through indescribable methods of processing and calculation, it finally becomes valuable information. Although, Jane''s perception was disturbed by this special flame. However, with the help of those residual information. She still vaguely determined the location of Latiwen and others. Jane spoke. "Here, follow me." With the help of the cold protection exerted by the dark ice, Jian rushed straight into a sea of ??fire. Xia En and others naturally followed closely. boom! After passing through a square full of flames and ruins. In the city not far away, a huge roar suddenly came All he saw was the mid-air shrouded in billowing black smoke. There were two figures colliding together like a comet hitting the earth. One of them was Benny, a soldier wearing a smart uniform and a short haircut. The other one was a mysterious figure shrouded in black robes. At this moment. The two sides are attacking and fighting each other at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to catch with the naked eye. It triggered bursts of sonic booms and air waves. As a war madman, Benny naturally possesses extraordinary combat power. Even though he seemed to be easily defeated by An Bing. That''s because Dark Ice''s freezing law vaguely restrains him. And if this point is put aside, the combat power that his physical body can exert can actually catch up with Xia En when he can''t use the [Great Dark Sky]. But now. Facing this mysterious man in black robe, Benny was unable to gain the upper hand at all. As the man in black robe took action again and again. One after another, pitch-black flames roared towards Benny. Benny, who has always had a broad-minded fighting style, was extremely cautious when facing these black flames. He could only dodge left and right, which was extremely embarrassing. As if afraid of being touched. And you can see it if you look closely. There was a gap as big as the mouth of a bowl in Benny''s waist and abdomen. The injury looked as if he had dug it out himself! Not hard to guess. That kind of flame probably has some weird characteristics. Once it''s on, it won''t go out. The only way to forcibly reduce the injury is to use the method of a strong man breaking his wrist. Likewise. This is also the reason why Benny is so restrained when fighting. His energy and blood strength and his refined martial arts skills are indeed outstanding among the sixth-level Mystics. But his power level only stopped at the sixth level after all, and he failed to touch the realm of law. Only then did he gain the upper hand in this battle. Although I had some conflicts with Benny. But now, they are all comrades infiltrating the operation. Shane couldn''t sit back and watch Benny being killed by the opponent. So in the first place. Xia En stepped on the ground with both feet and struck at the black-robed man in mid-air like an arrow from a string. "Benny, let me help you!" "Is it you?" Seeing Shane suddenly appear, a flash of surprise flashed across Benny''s face. He didn''t expect that Xia En would find their location so quickly. However, his rich combat experience allowed Benny to quickly regain his composure and issued a warning. "Beware of his flames." But the reaction of the man in black robe was more direct. He swung his hands forward suddenly, and raging black flames instantly burst out from his palms, like two roaring black dragons, rushing towards Xia En with their teeth and claws. Wherever the flames passed, the ground was scorched black. The sand and rocks turned into hot lava, sizzling. In response, Shane did not dodge to the side like Benny did. Instead, it directly opens the realm of [Great Dark Sky], as if covered with a body of pitch-black armor. The body crashed directly towards the two fire dragons. Bennys expression not far away suddenly changed. Is this guy crazy? Dont want to die? Didnt I just remind you to be careful of his flames? Why did you bump into him so recklessly? No wonder Benny felt like this. Reinforcements finally arrived, and they just rushed in and killed them! ? Just when Benny thought that Shane was going to suffer a lot, and might even be directly burned to charcoal by the black flames. The two raging fire dragons seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow, and were actually cut in half. Soon after, the collapse disappeared. Xia En, who was wearing black armor, walked out of the flames unscathed. Not a trace of flame remained on his body. Just as Xia En expected. The ability to ignite this flame is essentially a manifestation of the power of law. But against the [Secret Power of the Void] at the same level, it cannot be as invincible as before. "What?" Seeing this scene, Benny couldn''t help but widen his eyes. He had personally experienced the terror of the black flames of the man in black robe. Why does it fall on Xia En now and become no different from ordinary flames? Shocked. Shocked. Benny also knows that now is the best time to defeat the opponent. Then, Benny''s expression suddenly became serious and he shouted softly. "Captain Shane, I''ll cover you." "It''s up to you to kill him!" Immediately, he launched a fierce attack on the black-robed man from the flank. The crimson blood escaped from Benny''s body and continuously bombarded the enemy like cannonballs, thus attracting the attention of the man in black robe. But at the same time, his body was also touched by those black flames. Thus it started to burn continuously. Benny''s attack power is not weak in the first place. It was just because of this weird black inflammation that he was forced to restrain his hands and feet. As he ignored his own injuries, he naturally left no room for distraction for the man in black robes. And take advantage of this opportunity. A slender jet black sword was quietly shaped in Xia En''s hand. at the same time. [Eye of Peeping Secrets] activates! The vision in his eyes suddenly turned into a world composed of countless points and line segments. It''s just a matter of breathing. Several fatal weaknesses of the man in black robes were clearly reflected in his eyes. As he continues to master the [Peeping Eye of Secrets], Xia En is now able to skillfully use this ability in combat. Those flaws and loopholes that were originally difficult to detect are as eye-catching as the bright moon in the night sky. The next moment. A dark light flashed through this fiery purgatory. The man in black robe who was accumulating flames suddenly stopped and froze in place. A dark sword mark penetrated his entire body. Soon, the black flames wrapped around the man in black robe gradually dissipated. The black robe was also split into two by Xia En. As the black robe fell. Everyone was able to see clearly the true face of this mysterious man. Please...you...collect 6...9...books...! But after seeing that face, Xia En couldn''t help but shrink his pupils and murmured. "How could..." Under the black robe, there was a face that was extremely familiar to him. He has handsome facial features, a tall nose, and sharp edges like a marble statue. If not Yan Yan, who is it? only. Compared with the Yan Yan Xia En knew, his pupils were pure black. Like that weird flame color. Moreover, only the left half of the man''s face in black robes remained intact. The right half of his face seemed to be burned, covered with horrific scars. It''s obvious. This is definitely not the Yan Yan that Xia En is familiar with. It''s more like a weird, poor copy. "Wait...a clone?" Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly woke up. Now that the [Truth Society] has created a copy of Augustine, it has even been put into actual combat. So, Yan Yan, or... Where is the salary king? Could they have also created a clone of King Xin? Even if it is not like the Augustine "B5" that he encountered before, he has almost the same thinking and memory. But thinking about it, it is still possible to have some of the same characteristics as King Xin. For example. This black flame contains the power of law! As for the reason why this "salary king" has physical scars and mutilations. Probably because... He is just a failed copy. Although these are just Shane''s guesses. But looking at the corpse in front of him that was gradually losing its vitality, he felt quite confident. Thinking of this, Xia En''s expression suddenly became serious. This also means that the [Truth Society] has also sneaked into this memory scene. I just dont know what purpose they have this time? While Shane was thinking. Benny on the side took out a sharp knife. Using the method of cutting flesh, the parts attached to the black inflammation were directly cut off. Soon, dozens of wounds appeared on his body. But Benny''s expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if the meat he was cutting was not his own. This made Xia En couldn''t help but give him a high look. I have to say. This Benny is indeed a tough guy, and his style is very military-style. And aside. An Bing stared blankly at the body lying on the ground. She is also a smart person, so she quickly realized the essence of "this corpse is a clone". As a result, a rare angry look appeared on An Bing''s face. "Unforgivable..." "How dare you blaspheme King Xin in this way, I will make them pay the price!" Although An Bing has mixed emotions towards King Xin. But at this time, seeing someone create a clone of King Xin still made her feel more angry than ever before. Xia En and An Bing were in similar moods, but at times like this, they had to stay calm. He turned to look at Benny and asked. "Where are William and Lativine?" Benny pointed to an open space not far away and said in a serious tone. "Just now, Pastor William was seriously injured while protecting us." "You''d better get him treated as soon as possible." Upon hearing this, Xia En immediately walked towards the open space. I saw an area where the fire had calmed down slightly, and William was sitting there. His eyes were half closed and his breath was weak. Behind him, Latiwen''s hands emitted a faint fluorescent light, seeming to be treating him. Seeing Xia En and others, Latiwen''s eyes first showed a hint of joy, but then dimmed again. "Captain Shane, Reverend William, he..." Shane took a closer look. It was discovered that there was an extremely horrific penetrating wound in William''s abdomen. The intestines and other internal organs are directly exposed to the hot air. There are also clusters of pitch-black flames swimming in it, constantly destroying the physical tissue, and the state is in a precarious state. Latiwen''s healing radiance only temporarily saved his life. But once the treatment is stopped, William''s injuries will completely explode and there will be no way to recover. It can be said. Now, William''s vitality is like sand between his fingers. No matter how much he invests, it will eventually be lost. And this time. William opened his eyes with difficulty. Feeling the warm glow behind him, he had a wry smile on his face and said hoarsely. "I didn''t expect that in the end, my life would be hung by the heretic''s divine power." Beads of sweat continued to leak out from Latiwen''s forehead, which was quickly dried by the high temperature around her. She couldn''t help but scolded "How long has it been and you are still thinking about this?" Even if his life hangs on a thread, William''s attitude is still very open-minded. He chuckled. "Of course I have to care. This is something I have been obsessed with my whole life." With that said, William turned to look at Xia En, who was not far away, and murmured. "Being able to see the Holy Son before I die can be regarded as fulfilling my last wish." Shane shook his head. "Don''t give up, you may not die yet!" Then, Shane stretched out his hand and placed it on Williams wound. Wisps of [Secret Power of the Void] began to seep into his body. Of course, Xia En doesn''t know how to heal injuries. But he could see it at a glance. What really caused William''s injuries to worsen was the black flames remaining in his body. Then, in theory, as long as the [Void Secret Power] uses the characteristics of swallowing and assimilating other secret powers, William can get out of danger! And with the entry of [Secret Power of the Void]. William''s face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief. "This, this power is..." In an instant, William looked at Xia En with more respect and humility. "As expected, you are the agent of [Lord of the Deep] in the human world." Xia En raised his eyebrows. What do you have or dont have? Could it be said that the secret power controlled by [Lord of the Underworld] is somewhat similar to the [Secret Power of the Void]? But right now, it is obviously not the time to delve into this matter. Behind William, Latiwen immediately noticed the changes in his internal injuries and couldn''t help but look happy. "Great, Mr. William is saved." But that''s it. Several more roars came from the nearby sea of ??fire. (End of chapter) Chapter 398 [Great Yan’s Malice] [The Power of the G Chapter 398 [Great Yans Malice] [The Power of the Divine Cannon! aside. Jane also reminded with a solemn expression. "Captain Xia En, we detected several auras similar to the man in black robes appearing nearby." "We can''t stay here any longer." "A few?" Shane''s eyes narrowed slightly. Think about it too. Since these salary kings are just failed products, it is conceivable that there must be more than one of them. but. This is definitely not good news for Xia En and others. This defective clone of King Xin caused them a lot of trouble. When their number increases to a certain level, even Shane can''t easily cope with it. And at this time, William was seriously injured. It will obviously slow them down significantly. at this time. William quickly realized this and spoke. "Lord Holy Son, you don''t have to worry about me anymore." "Bringing me with you will only make you fall into the enemy''s circle and miss the opportunity to destroy the [Great Flame] node." "Besides, if I could feel the power of the Lord at the last moment, I would die without regrets." Shane shook his head. "I said, it''s not time to give up yet." "An Bing, take care of his injuries and let''s go." In order to prevent William''s wounds from getting worse while on the road. Xia En asked An Bing to use the secret power of ice to temporarily freeze his wounds, and asked La Tiwen to continue treating William. Xia En himself directly carried William and Latiwen on his shoulders and left in the direction where he perceived fewer enemies. With his strength, bringing William along with him would not have much impact on the action. And while leaving this area. Shane asked Jane. "Ms. Jane, can you find the location of the nodes in this memory scene?" Right now, the goal of rescuing his companions has been achieved. Naturally, we have to try to destroy the key nodes in this memory scene. Before Jane could speak, An Bing beside her said "Captain Shane, if I''m not mistaken." "The city in this memory scene is probably... Fanyan City!" "Fan Yan City?" Shane reacted immediately. Although the memory of [Great Yan] covers all areas of [Great Yan Country]. But for the people of [Great Yan Kingdom], what impressed them more deeply was definitely what happened in the more important areas. Therefore, the memory scenes recreated by [Great Flame] are most likely located in these important areas. It''s just that the time point is different. The core of the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] is naturally its royal capital - Fanyan City. Xia En couldn''t recognize it before. But after Dark Ice reminded him, he quickly noticed some eye-catching signs in the sea of ??fire. For example, I once saw a steeple bell tower. Another example is the familiar neighborhood that I passed just now. only. The Fanyan City at this time was completely different from the memory scene of King Xin''s wedding. The ruthless fire burned everything. The billowing smoke covered every inch of the sky like devil''s tentacles. The streets that used to be bustling and full of festive atmosphere are now only ruins. The charred bricks and stones were in pieces, silently telling the cruelty of the disaster. The houses where the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] live are screaming in flames. The beauty of the past has long been shattered like a dream. All that''s left is devastation. Two memory scenes that are clearly in the same city, but compared to each other, it seems like they have gone from heaven to hell. Xia En couldn''t help but feel emotional. but. Now that the identity of this city was confirmed, the destination of Xia En and others immediately became clear. That is - Dayan Palace! The core of the entire city, and King Xin in this memory scene, may be in the palace. Just get to that place. I''m afraid...the final truth will be completely revealed in front of Xia En. Thinking of this, Xia En simply opened a pair of shadow wings and temporarily rose into the air. After looking around, he quickly found the direction of the palace. Just like other areas in Fanyan City. At this time, the [Great Yan] Palace was also submerged in the sea of ??fire. even. The fire in that direction was even stronger and more turbulent. The scarlet flames soared into the sky, engulfing the cold and iron-blooded palace, reflecting the colors of blood and fire. Xia En had a feeling for no reason. The source of this fire may have come from deep within the palace. After confirming the direction of the palace. Xia En immediately returned to the ground and led a group of people in that direction. The reason why he didnt fly directly to the palace was because Xia En sensed it. In the sea of ????fire below, there are many malicious gazes. Once you leap over the sea of ??fire blatantly, you will be immediately besieged by them. Not long after. After advancing for a while through the burning city. Shane makes an unexpected discovery. In the ruins, he saw many [Black Flame Walkers]. Some of them, like the [Black Flame Walker] before, became insane in front of the fire. Some are trying to save other residents in the city. Others have turned into charred corpses in the flames. Obviously. In the face of this disaster, the [Black Flame Walkers] are also working hard to make the final struggle. You can see them in the fire. Xia En suddenly thought of something that he had always ignored. According to Irina and Sergey. They are awakened from a special life-support device. It was with the help of this device that [Black Flame Walker] escaped the great flood that submerged the world and slept for hundreds of years. But here''s the thing. Like An Bing, they knew nothing about the fire in the bustling city. At this time, what is going on with these [Black Flame Walkers] in Fanyan City? Did King Xin deliberately select some [Black Flame Walkers] and let them stay in this city to die? Shane instinctively felt that this was impossible. and. [Black Flame Walkers] There are still quite a few survivors. In other words, there must be a dedicated area for placing the so-called life-support device. So, where will the resting place of the [Black Flame Walkers] be? Could it be that King Xin had anticipated this disaster in advance. So, they were placed in other shelters away from the city? Xia En vaguely felt that there were some very important secrets behind this incident. suddenly. An Bing on the side stopped and looked blankly in one direction among the ruins. Shane asked immediately. "An Bing, what''s wrong?" An Bing muttered with dull eyes. "That body is..." So, Xia En followed her gaze and couldn''t help but shrink his pupils. I saw the streets turning into scorched earth not far away. There was a female body, lying on her back on the ground. She didn''t seem to die from the burning fire, but rather from other injuries. This kept her face from being burned beyond recognition by the flames. Therefore, Xia En could clearly see the face of the female corpse. It was a woman he had seen more than once [Black Flame Walker], Irina! Seeing this, Xia En couldn''t help but stir up waves in his heart. Why did Irina''s body appear here? This book was recently updated in ##@@@@@@!! Updated! In his understanding, Irina clearly lived well into the post-flood era. He even took on the mission of awakening Dark Ice. Only then did he have several contacts with Xia En. So what is going on with this corpse here? Is there some kind of fallacy in [Da Yan]''s memory? Was the Irina created by Him affected by external factors like them? Still say. The real Irina is already dead? Is this the truth in history? And if this is the case. So, is it really only Irina who has died long ago? With thoughts in his heart fluctuating, Xia En asked An Bing seriously. "Miss An Bing, I want to ask you something." "Have you really seen the life-support device that Irina and the others talk about?" "In other words, have you heard that King Xin has developed such a result?" "I" After thinking for a moment, An Bing said frankly. "To be honest, I haven''t seen anything like this in [Great Yan Country]." "My understanding of the so-called life-support device also comes from the introduction by Irina and the others." There was a hint of bitterness on her face as she continued. "Besides, I''ve actually felt strange since a long time ago." "Since King Xin already has the technology to mass-produce such devices, why not just create more devices to save the people of [Great Yan Country]?" "Now that I think about it, this matter itself is full of doubts." By this time, An Bing had already made some ominous guesses. "really" An Bing''s words undoubtedly proved Xia En''s suspicion. However, it is still too early to draw a conclusion on this. That''s when. A "whoosh" sound came from the evil wind. A strange and ugly figure suddenly rushed out of the burning ruins. It was an undead body that was completely charred. It rushed straight towards An Bing, its dark eyes filled with hatred for the living. An Bing tapped his fingers lightly. The howling cold wind swept out and froze the undead body in an instant. But her expression did not relax. Because immediately. A terrible vibration came from far to near. Click...click... I saw that the houses that were already crumbling in the flames collapsed one after another under the weight. Immediately afterwards. One after another, the evil ghost-like figures kept approaching in the blazing fire, looming. Like a wave of undead. Those are the long-dead people of [Great Yan Kingdom], the souls who are unwilling to die! And at this time. These people who died in the fire will crawl out of purgatory, dragging outsiders like Xia En into **** with them. Seeing such a scene, Latiwen''s little face couldn''t help but turn pale. "Why are there so many of them?" Xia En''s expression also became serious. He probably guessed the reason for the undead attack. I think it was because the distance between them and the palace continued to shorten. [Dayan]''s subconscious mind noticed the hidden danger. Therefore, these undead were instinctively driven to attack them. This is a manifestation of [Great Yan]''s malice. In the midst of this chaos, a low and terrifying roar came from the distance, as if it was the roar of an evil spirit coming from the abyss of hell. Benny looked up and couldn''t help but feel his breath hitch. Among the ruins not far away, a monster as huge as a mountain was approaching. It was wrapped in blazing flames, and the flames were also pitch black in color, exuding frighteningly high temperatures. The monster''s figure was blurry and twisted, as if it were made up of constantly tumbling and jumping flames, barely taking on a human form. Look carefully. Inside the blazing flame, there seemed to be a vague outline, like the skeleton of some kind of creature. But it is constantly reshaped and distorted by the power of flames, making it impossible for people to see its true appearance. Seeing this monster, Latiwen couldn''t help but feel a little numb. "Then, what is that?" Xia En''s eyelids couldn''t help but twitch. "Not just the undead, but also the manifestation of this fire?" Moreover, Xia En also noticed it. The aura of this black flame monster has reached the level of legend! To be honest, with the strength of their group, it is not impossible to defeat this monster. But here''s the thing. Around them, there are countless [Great Flame] undead looking at them. If we get into a tough battle with this monster, it means we are completely surrounded by them. Thus being overwhelmed by endless enemies. I''m afraid, this is the conspiracy of [Great Yan]''s will - Use absolute numerical superiority to crush outsiders like Xia En to death. But you can be on the home court of [Great Flame]. Xia En and others could only passively respond to his attack. Like this time. This black flame monster as huge as a hill blocked Xia En and others'' way to the palace. If you face the enemy head-on, you will be besieged by other undead. But if you bypass it, you will undoubtedly waste more time. Realizing this, Jane''s eyes flickered, as if she had made some determination. But just when she was about to speak to Shane. boom! A thunderous bombardment suddenly resounded through the sky. The next moment, in the eyes of everyone. A dazzling and thick beam of light cut through the thick black smoke and red-black sky, falling straight on the black flame monster. After being hit by this shot, the monster''s body felt as if it had been hit hard. It took several steps back, crushed several houses, and almost fell down. Not only that. The secret power of the light pillar still remains in its body, constantly destroying its body. Although it cannot completely kill this black flame monster, it can at least make it incapacitated in a short period of time. "It''s the [God-Destroying Cannon]!" Seeing this scene, Benny couldn''t help but perked up and exclaimed in surprise. He explained to Xia En and others in passing. "The [God-Destroying Cannon] is a powerful weapon developed by the Federation Navy specifically to target those with secret paths above Legend level." "The power is astonishing, and above it is the power of the law that is enough to kill the legend." But soon, Benny looked confused. "But, how come we see the bombardment of the [God-Destroying Cannon] here?" At the same time, Xia En looked towards the direction of the bombardment and couldn''t help but look surprised. (End of chapter) Chapter 399 [Meeting with Gord] [Black Swan] Chapter 399 [Meeting with Gord] [Black Swan] Shane turned to look. I saw the Fanyan City shrouded in raging fire and covered with scorched earth. An area that was extremely separated from its surroundings appeared out of thin air. In that area, there are cold and hard metal shells, steep ship sides, towering ship towers, and decks covered with rust. as well as A huge cannon that Shane had never seen before! The barrel of that giant cannon was extremely slender and its caliber was astonishingly large, as if it could penetrate the stars! At this time, the light of the secret power on its body gradually dimmed, like a silent giant beast, standing tall and ready to go. Under the cold metal shell, there is thunderous power hidden. Obviously, the shelling that severely damaged the black flame monster just now originated from this giant cannon that seemed to exist in science fiction works. That is what Benny calls the [God-Destroying Cannon]! As for the existence of the [God-Destroying Cannon], Xia En would not admit his mistake. That''s... A huge and majestic steel warship! It was the [King] he had seen before! To be precise. That was not the entire [King], but just a part of the bow of the battleship. But the fact that it appeared in the burning Fanyan City was surprising enough. At this moment. The "territory" belonging to the "King" is still expanding, making more and more parts of the ship''s hull come into view of Xia En and others. And with a tough attitude, he broke into this memory scene. That scene was simply like... The [King] broke through the barriers between different memory scenes, as if sailing on the water, and sailed directly into the capital of the [Great Yan Kingdom] that was already covered in flames! Seeing this scene, Benny murmured in shock. "That''s... [King]?" "But why does it appear here?" at the same time. Xia En suddenly woke up. With the destruction of the three nodes of [Great Flame], its internal structure began to lose balance, causing the boundaries of different memory scenes to become blurred. Previously, the chaotic scenes like dreams that Xia En saw on the deck of the "King" were proof. Same thing. Now that other memory scenes have begun to merge into the scenes on the "King". Blending and colliding with each other. Then, [King] itself can break into other scenes created by [Dayan]! Just obviously. [King''s] breaking into [Great Flame] like this is not a coincidence, but the result of human manipulation. And this time. Latiwen pointed in the direction of the [King] and exclaimed. "Look! There seems to be someone else on that ship?" As the area exposed by the [King] becomes larger and larger, everyone can see it. On its deck, there were actually several figures wearing navy uniforms. Like a well-trained federal navy. Moreover, the number is quite large. And saw a figure headed by him. Carles'' face suddenly lit up red, and he said excitedly. "It''s Father!" Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but look surprised. With his keen eyesight, he could also see that standing at the bow of the "King" was a soldier with extraordinary bearing, slightly tired, but with a straight back. There was stubble on his chin and his eyes were somewhat sunken. It''s like I haven''t been able to rest and freshen up for a long time But even so. There is still an unyielding fighting spirit in the man''s eyes, and he also has a unique leadership temperament. This made him the backbone of many soldiers behind him. Let them not lose confidence and morale even after such a long wait. If I had to say it, his temperament was quite similar to King Xin. Obviously. This handsome middle-aged man is Colonel Gold, whom Shane had previously contacted with the help of a communicator. At this time, seeing that Gord and the crew of the "King" were still alive, Shane couldn''t help but feel a hint of joy on his face. And soon, he realized. The reason why the [King] appears in this burning city is probably because of Colonel Gold''s handiwork! Only this heroic legendary general would make such a crazy and bold decision. at the same time. Gold also noticed Shane and others below. He turned on the communicator and told them. "Captain Shane, we finally meet." Shane responded: "I didn''t expect to see you in this situation." "How did you enter this space?" Gold: "Not long ago, I noticed the vibration in the inner space of [Great Flame]." "This kind of shock has caused the entire structure of [Great Flame] to become unstable, and some of the constraints that previously imprisoned us have disappeared." "We even regained control of the [King] to a certain extent." "And I know that one of the key nodes is located in this burning city." "So I directly controlled the [King] to break in, and I happened to meet you here." "I see" Xia En quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter. But now is obviously not the time to reminisce about the past, he continued. "Now we have confirmed the location of that node, which is in the Great Yan Palace..." Shane wanted to continue saying something. But at this moment. The black flame monster before staggered and roared again from an unknown organ. With a roar. A raging black flame instantly centered on it and swept in all directions. The voice contained endless anger, pain and madness, as if it was going to swallow up everything in the world. Subsequently. The black flame monster turned its head and strode towards the direction of the [King]. Every time its footsteps hit the ground, it would cause a huge earthquake on the ground. Thousands of houses collapsed. Perhaps it was because of the bombardment from the [God-Destroying Cannon] just now. Or maybe the [King] seems to have a bigger target and is more threatening. This black flame monster temporarily gave up its goal of crushing Xia En and others. Instead, the navy on the "King" is regarded as a priority target for destruction. Not only that. The undead souls of [Great Flame] further away in the sea of ??fire were also attracted by such a huge warship and began to rush towards it one after another. Seeing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel his heart sink. It is different from small targets with few people like them. The entire [King] is like a bright target in this bustling city. It will naturally attract attacks from all enemies here. Moreover, it is not difficult to see that the [King] cannot move unscrupulously in this burning city. Even if Gord himself has legendary strength, he is also assisted by a powerful weapon like the [Destroyer Cannon]. Facing such a wave of undead, I''m afraid I won''t be able to persevere. Too long. Gold also realized that he was being surrounded. However, he had already expected this. Not only did Gord not panic, but he smiled heartily. "It seems that our effect in attracting their attention is better than I expected." "These guys really think highly of us." Immediately, Gord''s tone became serious. "Captain Shane, what I want to say is..." "You are not fighting alone." "Not just us, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] outside of [Great Flame] must also be fighting desperately on their battlefield." "Now, it''s up to us to hold these monsters back." "The task of destroying the [Great Flame] node is left to you!" "Father" Hearing this, Carles on the side couldn''t help but look at the deck of the King in the distance with complicated eyes. She knew it. If we were caught in such an encirclement, even with my father''s strength, I might not be able to escape. that is. After finally meeting again after a long separation. But it is very likely that they will say goodbye forever. "Carles." At this moment, Gold softly called her name. This book was recently updated in ##@@@@@@!! Updated! Compared with when communicating with Shane, Gord''s tone was obviously a little gentler, and it was different from the father who was always strict in Carlisle''s impression. "It was so nice to meet you at the end." "Actually, there is something I have always wanted to say to you." "The word [Carles] means a noble and upright platinum flower in my hometown." "You are no longer a machine, but a human being as your name suggests." Hearing this, Carles'' body trembled and he whispered to himself. "I''ve known about that kind of thing for a long time." "But father, please come back alive." Immediately afterwards, Gord said again. "Captain Shane, what I said earlier was my request as a soldier." "But now, it''s my selfishness as a father." "No matter what the final outcome of this mission is, please protect Carles." "I leave my daughter to you." Faced with these almost last words, Xia En responded solemnly without any evasion or hesitation. "I will." As soon as Xia En finished speaking, the communication on the communicator was cut off. He took one last deep look at the [King] in the distance. Then, he turned around and walked towards the deepest part of the city. The [King] behind him was like a rock in the sea of ??fire, constantly being washed away by waves of flames and undead. But will it survive, or will it be quickly swamped by the tide? No one knows. at the same time. On the glacier in [The Far North]. A war that is extremely rare in the entire history of mankind is going on with great vigor. Facing the filthy creatures rushing from all over the [Far North]. The [Far North Expeditionary Force] has already established several lines of defense. Among them, the first line of defense is nothing else. It is an artificial sea of ??ice. Because filthy creatures can emerge from any corner under the glacier. In order to prevent filthy creatures from directly attacking the camp of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] from underground. Moritz ordered that the glaciers surrounding the entire camp be melted, turning it into a sea of ??ice surrounding the camp. And let the priest of the Deep Sea Church apply the blessing of the Storm Goddess to this sea area. Ordinary secret power has extremely limited effect on these filthy creatures. Only with power at the level of gods can they be feared. Of course, it''s just fear. This sea of ??ice, moistened by Storm Girl''s mysterious power, is equivalent to a dirty, smelly ditch for dirty creatures. They may be reluctant to go near the sea because they dislike the "stinky smell" of the place. But if push comes to shove, the filthy monsters can still break in if they endure. Simply put. The secret power contained in the sea water makes it difficult to cause substantial harm to them. But in non-war times, it can serve the purpose of isolating filthy and chaotic creatures. In addition to the purpose of creating an artificial isolation zone, another use of this ice sea is- Concentrate the ships of all forces of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] on this ice sea. on the one hand. These warships were originally a group of quite powerful combat forces. Many captains in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] spent their entire lives on their ships. Arm these ships to the teeth. Leave the ship and fight on the ice. for them. On the contrary, it was an experience I had never had before. It is impossible for the captain and sailors to move the equipment on the ship to the ice sheet. With or without a ship, the combat effectiveness they can exert is completely different. Not only ordinary captains, but also the federal navy. Their powerful ships and guns can only be most effective in this sea area. on the other hand. Gathering ships here is also a message sent by the federal navy to other members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. If it really comes to a last resort. Members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] can also use ships to escape from this ice sea without being trapped and dying on the ice sheet. Of course, this was prepared for the worst. That''s when it really comes. The second great flood is probably a foregone conclusion. How many people in the world can survive is a question. At this moment. A corner of the defense line formed by numerous ships. The [Black Swan] is docked in this area. Compared with the huge warships of the Federal Navy. The size of the Black Swan is not that surprising, and it even looks a bit compact. However, it has an indescribable mysterious temperament about it. Making it look out of place with the other ships. There is some indescribable difference. This made other captains look at him with suspicion. It''s as if... the ship is breathing softly with the ripples of the waves. And beneath that hard shell, a terrifying power seemed to be brewing. On the deck of the [Black Swan]. Joey, who was wearing a blue mage robe, asked Fei Ya who was standing aside. "Do you feel that [Black Swan]''s recent state is a bit strange?" Feiya nodded. "Yes, I feel... it seems to be more restless than usual?" Next to the two of them, Xian Ge, who had transformed into a human girl, said casually. "Isn''t this simple?" "Xiao Hei has not seen Captain Shane for so long, so of course he is a little unhappy." When Joey heard this, he couldn''t help but nodded in agreement. "That certainly seems to be the case." Joey himself was in a similar mood. Although she knew that Xia En''s trip was to save the world. But after not seeing Xia En for such a long time, Joey felt a little lonely. Suddenly, Xian Ge lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously. "Compared to this, have you noticed?" "Both An and Miss Vivian seem to be in a strange state these past few days?" (End of chapter) Chapter 400 [The battle to determine the fate of man Chapter 400 [The battle to determine the fate of mankind] [Black Swan] On the deck. Hearing Xian Ge''s words, Fei Ya nodded and agreed. "Indeed." "Ann and Vivian''s condition is very strange." Before Xia En entered the [Great Flame], Feiya ended her retreat and actively requested to stay on the [Black Swan] to deal with the upcoming decisive battle. In this case now. No matter how crazy the vampires in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are, it is impossible for them to start internal strife at this time. Therefore, Feiya''s stay on the ship will not cause too many problems. Only then did Xia En agree to his request. Compared with before the retreat, Fei Ya''s aura has made great progress. A quick observation revealed that he had suddenly broken through the fifth level barrier. Considering Feiya''s age and training time, she can be regarded as a genius on the Seven Seas. Not only that. Feiya''s appearance has also changed a lot. He seemed to have grown a little taller, and his figure became slender and stronger. The skin became smoother and more delicate, and there was a cold beauty in the paleness, as if it was carved from the finest white jade. The most eye-catching thing is his eyes. There was a touch of gorgeous rose gold in the depths of those eyes, faintly revealing a noble and aloof aura. If the vampires were to see Fei Ya at this time, they would definitely be shocked. Because, this kind of rose-gold eyes is a nobler talent than "burning gold blood". Only vampires with extremely high blood purity can possess it. Even some legendary vampires may not have such characteristics. And this is the result of Fei Ya''s communication with the Blood River during this period. If you add in the blood clan secret skills he has mastered during this period, Fei Ya''s true combat power is actually comparable to that of a sixth-level secret warrior. Of course, on the battlefield of [The Far North]. The combat power of the sixth level is not that powerful. But for Fei Ya herself, it was already a huge improvement. At this time, Fei Ya silently glanced at An on the deck not far away. At this time, An, still wearing the hard and cold armor, stood at the edge of the deck, looking at the endless sea of ??ice in the distance. His armor reflected a faint silver light in the cold sunlight of [the Far North]. Inexplicably, he seemed a little cold. The helmet integrated with the armor hid his face. It''s impossible to know An''s expression and eyes at this time. However, I have been with An for such a long time. Joey and others could more or less sense the silent knight''s mood at this time. And in the past few days when Xia En went to [Great Flame]. Joey and others clearly felt that An''s state was a little strange. He, who was always serious and adhered to the spirit of chivalry, actually got distracted in front of them many times. The specific performance is. Just a second ago, An was communicating with others using pen and paper. The next second, he suddenly froze on the spot. No matter how others called, he didn''t respond. Until half a hour later. An herself only woke up half-asleep, and couldn''t remember what just happened. It''s like sleepwalking. Regarding this situation, Joey and others are inevitably a little worried. On the ship, another person in a strange state is the ghost lady Vivian. Although originally, Vivian had a low presence among the crew because of her lazy personality and ghostly characteristics. But these days. The feeling Vivian gave Joey and the others was no longer as simple as a lack of presence. And it''s like becoming invisible from the [Black Swan]! Even if Joey went to look for her specifically, it would be difficult to find her. Joey even had a feeling. That is Vivian seems to be deliberately avoiding them? Or maybe you''re avoiding one of them? It was clearly at a critical moment when the decisive battle was about to begin, but two crew members were obviously out of shape and even disappeared. Joey, the acting captain, was a little unsure of what to do. Although she was asked by Xia En to guard the [Black Swan]. But Joey is not a real captain after all, and does not have the same prestige as Shane. This means that Vivian and the two cannot be allowed to take the initiative to express their feelings. at this time. Looking at Ann on the deck not far away, Joey''s face became even more worried and he murmured. "Mr. Knight, have you been standing there for a long time?" "What on earth is he thinking about now?" After hearing this, Xian Ge on the side still said very directly. "What''s so confusing about this?" "Just ask Joey directly!" "As long as you ask, An will definitely answer truthfully." Joey thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case, so he simply walked forward and said. "Mr. Knight, what''s happened to you recently?" "Why do you always seem to be absent-minded?" An was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he realized what he was doing and wrote on the cardboard with a charcoal pen. [Miss Joy, what do you want from me? [I was distracted just now and didnt hear what you said clearly. Hearing this, although Joey felt a little weird, he had no choice but to repeat the question just now. Faced with this problem, An hesitated, but quickly wrote on the cardboard. [Actually, I have been seeing some strange sights vaguely recently. [Sometimes it is a vast forest. In the middle of the forest, there stands an unimaginably huge tree. It makes me feel extremely friendly. [Sometimes its on a cold, dead glacier. Only the cold and silent wind keeps me company. Sometimes. [I was walking through a prosperous and lively city, surrounded by people celebrating. [I am in it, but I feel out of place. [I also saw a fire that swept across the country. [Countless people and creatures were buried in this fire, and countless dead souls were also born. As he wrote this, An''s hand holding the pen paused, as if he was in pain from recalling these scenes, but he continued to write. [These scenes are so real. [Its like...those scenes are fragments buried deep in my memory. [This is something I have personally experienced. [So much so that every time I wake up from this scene, I cant tell the difference between reality and illusion. [But...when I started to seriously explore those memories, my mind was empty and I couldn''t recall anything. [It seems that these fragments are just my imagination. At this time, Xian Ge and Fei Ya also gathered around. Looking at the words written by An, they couldn''t help showing surprised expressions. Xian Ge said after thinking. "Your situation is a bit like a symptom of memory being forcibly erased." "The fragments you see are just memory fragments remaining in your body." "It may be that they have been stimulated by some recent factors that have led to their gradual recovery." "If you think about it carefully, at what stage might you have lost your memory?" Don''t look at Xian Ge''s usually unreliable performance. But at critical moments, it can still play an important role. Just like this time. Relying on his relatively profound knowledge, Xian Ge made such a judgment. Hearing this, An couldn''t help but fall into thinking again. To be honest, he always thought his memory was complete. From being picked up by that couple, to being adopted by the family of the Knights of the Round Table, to being used as a tool to exploit the power of misfortune... Finally fell into a long sleep...the meeting with Xia En after waking up... All the memories are deeply etched in his mind. There seems to be no loopholes. But suddenly. Ann realized something. He did have a memory that he could never recall. That''s... There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! Before he gets picked up by that kind couple! An remembered that before they picked her up, she looked about seven or eight years old. And for an elf. This appearance of seven or eight years old may represent a longer period of time. So, what exactly happened to me during this period of time? Are these messy memory fragments related to what happened during this period? Moreover, there is another thing that An has been ignoring or deliberately not thinking about. That is Who are his biological parents? It can also be said that it is. How on earth was his life born in this world? Just as Ann began to think deeply about the problem. He suddenly felt as if his head had been hit with a heavy hammer, and waves of dull pain hit him one after another. Memories are like a mess, fragments of the past and the present are intertwined without logic, and it is impossible to sort them out. Every time Ann tried to grasp clear thoughts, her temples would throb, as if sharp needles were piercing them. Its like His soul is being torn apart by some terrible force! "Uh-huh..." Under the armor, An''s suppressed scream suddenly came out. Although Xian Ge and others could not see his expression, they immediately noticed his strange state. "An? What''s wrong with you, An?" Xian Ge''s face suddenly became very serious, and she asked with concern. At the same time, she invested her spiritual power into An''s body. After carefully sensing for a moment. A strong surprise flashed in Xian Ge''s eyes. "Wait, what''s going on?" "Why is An''s soul incomplete?" "Such a crippled soul should have crippled the mind..." On the side, Joey couldn''t help but look surprised. "The soul is incomplete, is there such a thing?" The importance of the soul to a person is self-evident. It is also the foundation of a mystic. Determines how far people can go on the secret path. But at this time, according to Xian Ge, An''s soul was actually incomplete? So how has he lived till now? Everyone was shocked at the same time. An also gradually recovered from the splitting headache. He shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and at the same time wrote on the cardboard with slightly trembling hands. [It seems that I have indeed lost a very important memory. [However, I remembered something now. perhaps [I met Captain Shane a long time ago. [Moreover, my reunion with him was not a coincidence. Seeing this line of handwriting, Joey couldn''t help but be stunned. "What does this mean?" Perhaps out of female intuition, a special vigilance inexplicably arose in her heart. But before Joey and others could think deeply about the meaning of these words. Diwu A particularly long whistle sounded from the sea not far away, instantly breaking the calm of the surrounding sea. Immediately, the warships on the sea began to sound their horns in unison. The whistles gathered together and resounded throughout the entire ice sea. It''s like the trumpet before the war. The spirits of everyone on the sea were lifted up, and an inexplicable tension and excitement surged throughout their bodies. In this whistle that penetrates the air like a sharp sword. Joey and others turned to look. I saw it at the other end of the ice sea. On the flat and white glacier, a dark wave gradually appeared. It was a dense mass of filthy creatures, approaching quickly like dark clouds. Weird ice crystals, snow-white long hair, slippery tentacles...many weird features seem commonplace in this wave of monsters. They kept making sounds like murmurs, whimpers, and growls from their mouths. Every sound is actually not loud. But when they come together, it becomes overwhelming and deafening. Faintly suppressing the sound of air whistles rising and falling on the sea. Brings a suffocating sense of oppression. Next to the [Black Swan] is the [Dragon] owned by the half-dragon Nana and the leader Lewis. "They are coming!" Nana looked at the waves of filthy creatures in the distance. He murmured softly. Her breathing gradually became rapid, her chest rose and fell slightly, and there was a faint blush on her cheeks. His body was trembling slightly, and he didn''t know whether it was because of fear or excitement. In the face of such a war, without legend, the power of an individual becomes extremely insignificant. Even the absolute backbone of the Seven Seas, the fifth- and sixth-level mystics, may die in this sea at any time. But isn''t the purpose of their coming here to prevent the coming disaster of annihilation and protect the world they live in? In this case, what is there to be afraid of? And on the other side of the [Black Swan]. Daisy''s [Breeze] and Alessio''s [Hanyu] are also ready for battle. The sailors stood ready at their respective posts. Daisy, the sister and brother, looked at each other and could see each other''s uneasiness. But even so, they won''t back down! The two of them looked at the wave of monsters in the distance, with a look of determination in their eyes. Enter the [Black Swan]. Although I am quite concerned about what An wrote. But Joey also knew that this was not the time to delve deeper. The top priority is to concentrate on dealing with the current war that may determine the fate of mankind. So, Joey turned to look at the people behind him and raised his voice. "Captain Shane is away, so I will be the acting captain." "Let us work together...to win this battle!" Everyone responded: "Yes!" at the same time. [Black Swan], in a hidden corner on the deck. Vivian, who was in a ghost state, looked up at the raging wave of monsters in the distance, with a complicated expression in her eyes. she muttered. "The plan has finally reached this point." "Captain Xia En, the time to decide whether you can completely get rid of the fate controlled by [Husi Ming] and save the world is coming soon..." (End of chapter) Chapter 401 【The king will take charge! The king wil Chapter 401 [The king will take responsibility! The king will bear it! at the same time. Another battlefield in [The Far North]. The [Great Flame] palace was engulfed in fire. In the main hall. The once strong and magnificent palace walls are constantly collapsing under the flames. The gorgeous decorations on it melted bit by bit. Like a red wax torch. It''s like the blood and tears shed in this palace. The king wearing a crown and a cloak was sitting alone on the throne in the center of the hall. The throne was made of cold steel, and its cold metallic luster still reflected in the blazing fire. The back of the chair is engraved with complex patterns, with teeth and claws showing, as if guarding the king who has become a loner. King Xin sat on the throne, leaning slightly on the armrests with his arms, looking calmly in front of him. No one can understand the emotion in his deep eyes at this time. This situation. Just like the scene presented in Mo Yan''s previous light curtain. It''s also like the illusion that Xia En witnessed when he obtained the [Salary King''s Certificate] for the first time. It''s obvious. That was not an illusion, but a scene that actually happened in history. Through the power of [Shin King''s Certificate], it was projected into Xia En''s mind at that time. Tread...tread... Just then. A slow and difficult footsteps suddenly sounded in the burning palace. A man with black flames wrapped around his body and burns all over his body staggered into the hall. "king" The man raised his head, revealing a face that had been half burned by the flames. Surprisingly, it is the highly respected Mo Yan among the [Black Flame Walkers]! It''s just that at this time, he was no longer as calm and stable as usual, but looked dazed, with strong disbelief, pain and despair in his eyes. Mo Yan raised his head, looked at King Xin on the throne, and said hoarsely with a voice that was almost burned. "King, did you start this fire?" King Xin gave him a slightly surprised look. "Obviously I have given you hints not to let you get close to the palace, but in the end, you still found this place?" "Thank you for your hard work..." "Answer my question!" In response, Mo Yan roared hoarsely, interrupting King Xin''s words. His eyes were red and his eyes were extremely angry. He was waiting for an answer, an answer he didn''t want to know but needed to know. Facing Mo Yan''s gaze, King Xin did not escape, but nodded. "Yes, I did it." Upon hearing this answer, Mo Yan''s body felt as if he was struck by lightning. He trembled violently twice and half-knelt down as if he had lost his soul. For loyal [Black Flame Walkers] like them. King Xin is like the sun in the sky, an absolutely correct existence, and the king who leads the [Great Yan Kingdom] to prosperity. But at this time. What King Xin did was undoubtedly a betrayal of all [Black Flame Walkers] and even [Great Yan Kingdom]! This kind of blow can destroy a person''s spirit in an instant. This also caused Mo Yan, who was already seriously injured from walking through the sea of ??fire, to further worsen his injuries and his breath became weaker and weaker. But even so, he still had one last question to ask. Mo Yan asked tremblingly: "Why?" "Why are you doing this?" Looking at the desperate and dying Mo Yan in front of him, King Xin sighed faintly. "The reason doesn''t matter." "You only need to know that it was me who burned down [Great Yan Kingdom], and it was me who dragged this kingdom into the **** of fire." "I will bear all the blame and cause and effect." "Hate me and be hostile to me as much as you want, and then find a merciful rest." Hearing this, Mo Yan stared at King Xin with blood and tears gradually flowing from his eyes. And the blood was quickly evaporated due to the high temperature in the palace. Two bright red marks were left on the severely burned face, making it look even more ferocious and terrifying. Like a ghost crawling out of purgatory. Mo Yan tried his best and said with his last strength. "Xin! I will take revenge on you!" "Even if you turn into an undead, I will never let you go!" After saying this, Mo Yan maintained this posture, completely losing his vitality. It was like turning into a blackened sculpture. Only the hatred in his eyes seemed to never dissipate. Witnessing the death of his once most loyal subordinate. A hint of imperceptible regret flashed in King Xin''s eyes. But soon, he kept this emotion deep in his heart. Then, King Xin waved his hand gently towards Mo Yan''s body. A ball of flame ignited the corpse, and then turned into a pitch-black ashes in an instant. King Xin reached out to grab the ashes again from afar, and solemnly put them into a small box and placed them beside the throne. he said softly. "Mo Yan, rest in peace." "I hope... you can live in a better country in the next life." "I hope... you won''t meet an incompetent king like me again." "Pa bang bang..." Just when King Xin was mourning for Mo Yan. Several crisp claps suddenly sounded in the palace, interrupting his thoughts. "Haha, what a touching scene." "The king of a country not only didn''t care about the hatred and hatred of his men, but also personally collected his corpse." "How many people in this [Great Yan Kingdom] can have the same treatment as him?" Not far away, the sound came from something strange and sinister. With a hint of playful sarcasm, it was unpleasant to listen to. "It''s just that if this [Black Flame Walker] knew about this, I''m afraid... instead of expressing gratitude to you, he would actually scold you for your hypocrisy, right?" "Oh, right." "Isn''t there only one [Black Flame Walker] who would do this?" "After learning the truth, all the [Black Flame Walkers], and even all the people of the [Great Yan Kingdom] will hate you!" At this point, the voice paused and said regretfully. "But these miserable fools don''t know that." "You are actually doing this to save them." "The misunderstood king... is doomed to a tragic ending..." "Such a story is so regrettable, aren''t you right? Salary King?" King Xin turned his head. I saw walking in the hall, a man with a single-sided glasses and a rational temperament with a hint of madness. It is the so-called [Undertaker] and [Observer]. In other words, it''s Joey''s father Edward! certainly. King Xin in this memory scene does not know Edward, let alone his identity. However, King Xin saw a familiar temperament in the other party. That was the temperament of the [Omniscient Sage] he had seen before. So King Xin frowned and asked. "Who are you?" "Why are you here?" Edward replied. "I am a [mourner] of civilization and an [observer] of history." "And I came here to make a deal with you." "trade?" Hearing this, King Xin sneered. Isnt it because of a deal with the [Omniscient Sage] that the reason why my [Great Yan Kingdom] and I are like this is? "Although I don''t know you, I have already guessed that you and that guy are actually traveling together." "Do you think I will still believe your words?" Edward chuckled. "I knew you would react like this, King Xin." "But please believe that this time we come with sincerity." "First of all, the first sincerity." "Please let me reveal to you...the truth of your world!" As he spoke, Edward tapped his fingertips lightly in the air. Images appeared in the air in front of King Xin. Those are the pictures of various memory scenes inside [Great Flame]. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! Even every scene is constantly changing. And one of the pictures is clearly the scene of the King sailing into Fanyan City. Seeing that majestic steel giant, even King Xin couldn''t help but change his expression slightly. "That ship is..." He can be sure that in his own time. Such a huge steel battleship has never been born. The ship has advanced turrets, an unprecedented hull structure, and a unique star wave logo. All of them illustrate the characteristics of this ship that span the ages. It''s like... it''s a creation from the future! Edward explained as if he noticed King Xin''s gaze. "The ship''s name is the King." "As you can imagine, it''s a warship of the future." "In other words, the area you are in now is a reflection of history for us." King Xin has never been a stupid person, even if he was just created by [Great Yan], with the help of the information given by Edward and these chaotic memory scenes, he instantly realized the truth of the matter. "So that''s it." "No wonder I always felt like something was wrong." King Xin muttered to himself. "It''s not just what happens here." "Am I just a fake created by myself?" "Correct answer." Edward snapped his fingers and replied with a smile. "But because of this, it is possible for you to achieve a dream that even a real salary king cannot realize." "That''s" "Reshape [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "Return to the [Great Yan Kingdom] where the great flood will not come, the fire will not happen, everything will be peaceful and peaceful, and the country will continue to prosper!" "Reshape [Great Yan Kingdom]?" King Xin muttered this sentence again, and the look on his face became a little dark and unclear. If he could, how could he burn down Fanyan City and the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] with his own hands. If he could, how could he be willing to witness countless people dying unwillingly in the flames? If possible, why would he want to see the desperate, hateful, and angry eyes of his subordinates who once trusted him? Everything is due to helplessness and forcedness. But now. But such a "what if" really appeared in front of King Xin. Its allure can be imagined. King Xin looked at Edward deeply and said. "So, what exactly do you mean by the deal?" Hearing this, Edward couldn''t help but have a satisfied smile on his face. "The deal is simple." "That is, assist us in wiping out all outsiders who break into this memory scene." "In exchange, we will recreate a real [Great Yan Kingdom] for you." "And you will become the king of that country again and live happily and peacefully with your own people." King Xin raised his eyebrows. "Is that all?" "I think...it''s not that simple, right?" Edward still had that weird smile on his face and said with a smile. "As expected of the Salary King, he discovered the flaw in my words so quickly." "If you want to become the new king of [Great Yan Kingdom], there is naturally a prerequisite." "That''s it..." "Kill the real salary king in reality." "In this way, those [Black Flame Walkers] will only regard you as the unique king." Hearing this, a hint of sarcasm appeared in King Xin''s eyes. "You mean, let me, the fake thing you created, kill the real me?" Edward nodded. "Exactly." "If you feel uneasy, we can also sign a contract witnessed by [Secret Sea]." With that said, Edward took out a contract made of extremely unique material and walked towards King Xin. "A contract witnessed by [Secret Sea] is equivalent to being recognized by [Great Law]." "That is a law that even gods cannot break." "Oh, by the way, King Xin, you should know the existence of the [Great Law], right?" Just listen to Edward''s words. The deal he prepared seemed indeed sincere. It can be said that we have made sufficient preparations early. Including deliberately finding the salary king in this memory scene at this point in time. It''s also part of the plan. Edward wanted to take advantage of the salary king''s most vulnerable moment to sign this contract. Or rather. He just wanted to force King Xin to go to the extreme of becoming a black man. And at the moment King Xin stretched out his hand and was about to take the contract. His palm suddenly burst into flames, and he slapped Edward''s chest brazenly. This sneak attack came without warning. And it''s incredibly fast. A direct hit on Edward''s body. A "chi" sound. The terrible flames quickly spread from Edward''s clothes to his whole body. It enveloped his body like a tidal wave. Just a few breaths. Edward''s body completely melted away and turned into a pile of charcoal. However, King Xin did not relax. Instead, he turned his head and looked in another direction in the palace. There, Edward, who should have been burned to ashes, reappeared in front of him. at this time. Edward suppressed the smile on his face, and his expression became cold and ruthless, like an absolutely rational machine. He said coldly. "Sure enough, the analysis of the data shows that the probability that you will agree to sign the contract is less than 30%." "But a 30% probability is enough for me to make this attempt." "However, I really can''t understand..." "Why did you reject me?" "Isn''t it the dream of you and other [Black Flame Walkers] to rebuild the [Great Flame] of the past?" King Xin shook his head: "Why are there so many?" "If I have to say it, it''s just because..." "I am the salary king of [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "Whether it''s sin or resentment, it''s all mine, I''ll bear it!" Before he finished speaking, King Xin''s body turned into fire and suddenly attacked Edward. (End of chapter) Chapter 402 [The King of Pirates] vs [Said King] Chapter 402 [The King of Pirates] vs [Said King] In the palace that is being fired into the coke. As the salary king took the lead, a war kicked off. Faced with the "future", mysterious and unknown enemies, the salary king naturally did not dare to have any contempt. Like the flames of the living body, the flames were wrapped around him, jumping and dancing constantly, distorting the surrounding air. The hot high temperature even melted the ground under his feet. But the crown and cloak of the salary king, but no wound in the flame. That''s because both of them are some special relics, which are created specifically for his fighting. Suddenly. The salary king''s body was rolling, like a burning meteor towards Edward. Where the flame passed, the air was ignited, leaving a distorted trace. Seeing this, Edward had no waves, like a cold mechanical, naturally there would be no emotional fluctuations. In his eyes, a blue light flashed. Countless information flows in it, analyzing the attack of the salary king, and predicting his next operation. Next moment. Edward''s body did not retreat. A faint blue light beam shot directly from his eyes. Falling in the weak position in the salary Wang Fan, the momentum of his rushing forward Immediately, Edward took out a light sword with a strange light in his hands and cut it directly to the head of the salary king. At the same time, he did not forget to say. "It''s just a pseudo -shaped pseudo." "Also treat yourself as a real salary king?" His taunt at this time was not just for ridicule. It is a means of attack. It is hoped that in these words to break the heart of the salary king, so that he will have more flaws in the battle. Language can sometimes become a weapon. This is even more so in their levels of war. However, even the salary king created by [Da Yan] also has the same belief. Hearing Edward''s words. While he condensed the flames in his hand, he chopped the light sword in the opponent''s hands and laughed. "What about a pseudo?" "As long as I think I am the salary king, then I am the king of salary." "Besides, if my body is here, do you dare to talk to me like this?" "I''m afraid that if you don''t have three tricks, you can kill you completely?" [Da Yan] Although the re -engraved king is far stronger than the general legendary secret, it is obviously impossible to have his strength in his heyday. At this time, he only touched the eighth level. In fact, this is also the upper limit of the strength of the strong man in [Da Yan]. However, the breath of Edward is just the seventh -order legend. If you encounter the body of the salary king, the battle will indeed end quickly. Speaking. The long sword composed of flames collided with Edward''s light sword. On the surface, it was a collision between two blade. In fact, it has touched the confrontation between the field and the rules. One side is the law of flames that ignite everything. The other party is a special rule of analyzing all things and using massive information to crack offensive. These two are essentially strong and weak. The degree of understanding and mastery of law users is the key to determining the victory. Just a short moment. Two forces are constantly confronting, collision, and entanglement. It seems like two monsters that beyond common sense are tearing and swallowing each other''s flesh. Only the one with stronger endurance and stronger foundation can achieve the final victory. The two blades were divided immediately, and almost annihilated at the same time. Whether it was Edward or the king of salary, his face appeared for a moment of pale, and his body retreated for dozens of meters. On Edward''s clothes, there was a touch of scorching black. Although the traces of ignited were quickly disappeared. But it can also be proved that in the confrontation of the party, he actually took advantage of it slightly. Edward looked down at his corner, and his stiff face became colder. "I can''t understand." "Whether it is you, or the real salary king, why can''t we let go of the so -called emotion and morality, and look at the problem from a more rational perspective?" "Do you think that you and your [Dayan Kingdom] have made such a great sacrifice, will people in the world be grateful for what you do? "Big wrong!" "Later people did not even remember the existence of [Da Yan] in this country, let alone the sacrifice you once made to save the world." "They will be secretly proud of themselves in their hearts." "Look, the country of the blood flowing sinful people finally perish!" Edward stared at the salary king coldly, and said in a very ironic tone. "And, not only people of other kingdoms." "Even the people of [Dayan Kingdom], your most loyal [Black Yanxian] ..." "After learning the truth, he is also determined to be the enemy of you. He has become the rebels of your men. So far, he is also avenging you." "Do you think it''s really worth it?" Each of Edward can be described as a heart. Like a sharp arrow, the most vulnerable place to the salary king. Just about this. The expression of the salary was particularly calm. He shook his head calmly and said. "You''re wrong." "The reason why I make such a decision is not because of any emotion and morality." "It''s just because ... I want to do this!" "The so -called strong is to be able to implement the existence of its own will." "And use my will to transform this world and shape my own rules. This is a real reflection." "As for the views of others, the gratitude of the latecomers, the setbacks encountered along the way, it is actually not important at all." "But I think, maybe you can''t understand this life, right?" While saying this. In the eyes of Edward, the salary king brought a trace of mercy. "Now, I can be sure." "Compared to me, you are a pitiful and sad existence." "Not only your memory, your character, your body ..." "Even your existence itself, I''m afraid it''s just a tool made by people." "I can still act according to my own will, and where do you still have your own will?" "A tool, how can you understand the feelings you should have?" Hearing this, Edward, who had never changed color before, finally appeared a strong emotional fluctuation. It''s like ... The faint compassion in the eyes of the salary king brings a bigger harm than the previous fight. "What do you know?" Edward''s words seemed to be squeezed out of the teeth. "I wanted to persuade you again." "But now it seems that you are more stubborn than I think." "In this case, then I have to use violence to forcibly control your node." It is not difficult to hear from Edward''s words. The salary king in front of him is the same as the salary king of the scene of "big wedding". It is the core node of the entire memory scene. And now. His true purpose is to control the node of [Da Yan] with some special means. As for what I want to do after Edward''s control nodes, it is only the members of the [Truth Council]. And the words are just behind. The salary king suddenly turned his head and looked at another direction of the palace. "Come out, B1." With Edward''s light drink, a figure gradually came out of the shadow of the palace. His body was tall and burly, and his wide shoulders seemed to support the entire ocean. A face full of wind and frost is engraved with traces of years and scars left by countless battles. The chin was slightly white beard. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Those deep eyes seem to be able to span the time and reveal the mysterious depth. But he didn''t see his personal will. Just like a puppet controlled by the line. If you look closely, you can find that the middle -aged man has a temperament similar to the salary king. That''s the majesty of the king! When he saw the other party, the salary king could not help but shrink his pupil and whispered. "The King of Pirates, Augustine?" Yes. The man who appeared in [Da Yan], known as B1, was not someone else, it was the replication body of Augustine. only. It can''t be seen from his appearance. This B1 is different from the previous B5, and he is not even younger. Instead, the prosperous Augustine, which is at its peak! Even the majestic face was generally the same as the portrait in the paid king. At the moment he saw him. The salary king immediately raised an extreme vigilance. Unlike the weird and mysterious Edward. The first feeling of this Augustine to the salary king is like a vast sea. A breath can almost be described as unpredictable. It makes people feel uneasy. That is the two breaths. The salary king quickly noticed the truth of the Augustine and asked Edward on the side. "He''s too ... the tool you made?" Edward laughed: "Yes." "And you guess, since we have the technology of re -engraving Augustine." "Who will we copy the next copy?" When he heard this, the widow''s eyes suddenly burned an angry flame. Wherever the sight, the air seemed to be ignited, making the sound of "Zi Zi". The hot light seemed to burn everything around. "Actually in this way to blame the past ..." "It seems that you and your organization are really a group of dead scum!" Edward responded: "Whether it is **** or anything else." "We are likely to board the ship to the new world." "And the old people of you in the old age can only be drowned with this world!" The moment when the voice falls. Edward and Augustine B1 immediately strangled in the direction of the salary king. Edward once again took out a faint blue light sword, and countless runes were jumping up, exuding a fatal breath. In the hands of Augustine, a huge sword carved with dark blue lines appeared. It exudes a vast atmosphere of the sea. It is the legendary sword [Wang Yang]! only. This [Wang Yang] is not the existence that B5 has reappeared with the help of the secret force. It is the big sword held by Augustine. [Truth] I do nt know when it stole the inheritance belonging to Augustine, from it to get this big sword, and use it to use it with B1. And when the weapon was picked up by Augustine again, an extremely terrible power broke out in an instant. The air around the surroundings trembled. He slowly pulled his sword, and a stream of sword rushed to his face, as if the cold and mystery in the depths of the sea. Next moment. The sword breeze whistled, like the wind on the sea. Suddenly, there was a huge wave like a tsunami, and it was overwhelming towards the paid king. The magnificent waves occupy the entire horizons in front of you. The salary king''s eyes condensed, took a deep breath, the body was completely converted into a flame, turning into a flame giant, and collided with the unreal wave in front of him. "Small". Those seawater, which should have been illusory, was quickly evaporated under his flames and turned into a white mist. In a moment. The entire palace seems to be divided into two areas. One side is the burning, hot and hot sea of ??fire. The other side is the vast and deep, hectares of the ocean. Two different and clear sea areas are constantly swallowing each other to occupy the dominance. The waves composed of flames and seawater shoot back and forth. For a while, no one could be. Only the white steam continued to rise in the entire hall, making the lobby that became fragile under the fire, and further crumbling. Don''t forget. In the battlefield, Edward was watching the salary king. The blue light in his eyes continued to flash. With unclear data collection and analysis, he is looking for the most fatal weakness in the state of salary king. And soon. Under the restraint of Augustine. A clear node is in his eyes. "I found you." Edward raised a smile on the corner of his mouth. Later, he was like a ghost, as if the space flickered, appearing in the corner of the sea of ??fire. But when the light sword was about to pierce the node in his hands. A figure appeared in front of him out of thin air. The sound of "Dang"! Edward''s light sword was blocked by a dark and deep, like shadow. A complicated voice sounded. "Finally met again, Edward." Edward looked intently. What appeared in front of him was a little red figure that was wrapped in white golden armor and the face armor was reflected. "Who are you?" Ace in Edward''s eyes flashed, but in a blink of an eye, he judged the identity of the comer. "[Black Swan] Captain, Xia En?" "And Gold''s daughter, [Platinum Cavaliers] Carlles?" "But have you ever seen me?" For Edward, Xia En in front of him should be a very strange person. I do not know why, he felt an indescribable familiarity ... (This chapter is finished) Chapter 403 【Xia En】 VS 【Edward】 Chapter 403 [Xia En] VS [Edward] At this moment. Some vague memories appeared in Edward''s mind. But it''s just a breather. There seemed to be a will that pressed the delete button deep in his memory. Clear your mind of those unnecessary emotions and thoughts. All that remains is a clear and unambiguous purpose. That is... Destroy all the people in front of you without leaving any one behind! So the next moment, Edward''s eyes became extremely cold and sharp. at the same time. The lightsaber in his hand slashed towards Xia En without any explanation. That posture clearly meant that he wanted to cut off his head with a single sword strike. Naturally, Xia En would not sit still and wait for death. He raised his arm and faced him again with the pitch black sword in his hand. This jet-black long sword just looks like a sword. Actually. It is an extension of the realm of Shane [Great Dark Sky]. Just like the pitch black armor before. -In a battle at the legendary level, directly opening the field to fight will not only waste the secret power, but may even fall into a disadvantage because the density is far lower than that of the legendary powerhouse. Therefore, Xia En simply concentrated a little bit, extremely concentrated the [Great Dark Sky], and might even be able to use it to break through the surface. So, when the two sides collided together. The long black sword did not fall apart as Edward expected, but was directly disintegrated by the unique secret power that analyzes all things. But it was extremely incredible to withstand the attack. Only a tiny gap was left where the sword blades met. "How is that possible?" Suddenly, Edward felt a strong sense of disbelief in his heart. It was only reasonable that King Xin could block his lightsaber. After all, there is a certain gap between the ranks of the two sides. This didn''t surprise Edward. But at this time. Neither Shane nor Carles in front of them has reached the level of legend. Just two sixth-order ants. But it happened that these two people blocked a sword from a legend who was close to the eighth level? Even, more than once? Edward''s fighting style relied too much on the information he collected. Therefore, when encountering a situation that is beyond common sense and not within the scope of his database records, he will be more surprised than ordinary people. Just like The machine encounters a bug it has never encountered before, causing downtime. However, Edward retained some human qualities after all. After a brief surprise. He said coldly: "If you are not a legend, you are still an ant." "Do you two even want to defeat me?" Before he finished speaking, Edward slashed out his lightsaber again. But this time, the moment the sword blade struck out, it split into thousands of phantoms, overwhelmingly falling towards Xia En. Every sword light seems false, but it is real. and. Their angles and orientations all seemed to have been carefully calculated, sealing off every space around Xia En. Shane had a feeling. No matter which way he goes, he will be attacked by thousands of sword lights at the same time. In other words, this attack can only be resisted forcefully? Seeing this, Xia En''s expression suddenly became extremely serious. After the previous confrontation, he was able to roughly deduce The power of law that Edward masters is probably analysis! parse. As the name suggests, it means cracking and analyzing. Edward can rely on the information he collects to find fatal flaws in enemies and foreign objects. And give a fatal blow at the critical moment. This ability is actually similar to Xia En''s [Eye of Peeping Secrets]. They can directly see through the core weaknesses. only. Edward''s analysis relies on the analysis of massive data. Xia En, on the other hand, has to find and eliminate from the chaotic dots and lines. On the other hand. For some ordinary things, Edward''s analytical power can even break them down in a very short time. It can instantly destroy large objects or solid defense facilities, and it can also cause fatal damage to living creatures and directly decompose their body tissues. certainly. Such as Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky], King Xin''s Flame... Edward may not be indestructible. But the prerequisite for decomposition is to collect enough information. It''s like an AI software or intelligent algorithm that wants to achieve the goals expected by the designer. It is necessary to debug through a large amount of data. In the final analysis, the two are actually the same principle. This means. As the battle with Edward lasts longer and the more information he collects, it becomes easier for Shane to fall into a disadvantage and be defeated. And at this time. Facing the sword light coming from all directions, a reliable voice suddenly sounded in Xia En''s ears. "Captain Shane, leave it to me." Hearing this voice, Xia En was determined. Out of his trust in her, Xia En didn''t hesitate at all. He actually ignored the sword light around him and rushed straight towards Edward''s direction without dodging or avoiding it. "Ha... you are seeking death!" Seeing this scene, Edward''s lips curved into a sneer. Ignoring such an attack would definitely be the worst decision the enemy could make. Every time the lightsaber touches it, Edward can also intercept part of the information from the opponent. Even with Xia En''s physical strength, he was so strong that he could withstand such a sword light storm without dying. But after this. Shane will have no secrets in front of Edward. All his flaws and loopholes will be clearly revealed in Edward''s eyes. By then. Edward wanted to kill him, but it was just a matter of breathing. But just as Edward had these thoughts. A layer of armor composed of runes suddenly appeared on the surface of Xia En''s body. Countless mysterious runes appeared on it, shining with a magnificent halo, flowing like life. You can spot it if you look closely. Each character contains a huge amount of information and knowledge. This knowledge is like the books stored in the great federal library When they are stored in books in the form of words, they are not harmful. But when they actually materialize. The depth of knowledge is clearly displayed in front of people. clang! clang! clang! clang! clang! Muffled sounds, like a gust of wind and rain, sounded one after another on the rune armor. But those seemingly sharp sword lights were still unable to penetrate its defense, let alone hurt Shane and Carles under the armor. "This is?" Edward''s expression suddenly changed slightly. How could he not be familiar with this secret art that uses knowledge as a weapon? Isnt this exactly what they [the Truth Society] do? Then, out of the corner of his eyes, Edward looked in another direction in the palace. There. An old woman with silver hair and slightly pointed ears was raising her cane and looking at him without fear. There was wisdom accumulated over time in those eyes. Even Edward didn''t dare to take it lightly. After a brief comparison, Edward retrieved the old woman''s information from his memory bank. "Traitors of the [Truth Society]..." "The former truth number NO.008, Mrs. Serenity?" "I didn''t expect...this long-missing [Truth Society] scholar to be involved in the operation." Immediately afterwards. Edward looked behind Jane and saw Deep Sea Priest William, Hui Cult Priest La Tiwen, and Federal Officer Benny. And... Princess Yan Bing An Bing! All the surviving members of the infiltration plan appeared in this palace. Not long ago. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! Under the cover of the [King] and Colonel Gold. Xia En and others successfully escaped the pursuit of the undead and entered the Great Yan Palace. After discovering that Edward and the created Augustine B1 were attacking King Xin, they decisively joined the battle. It was with the help of Jane''s secret teleportation technique that Shane blocked Edward''s attack at the critical moment. at this time. Although William and others were shaken by the battle between Augustine and King Xin, they were shocked by the supreme power of the two kings. But they all also knew that it was a battle that they could not intervene in. And what they can do now is naturally to work together to kill the evil-minded Edward in front of them! Edward''s eyes flickered, and he judged the current situation in an instant. But he didn''t show the slightest fear. The reason is simple. All members of the infiltration operation, including Xia En, are only sixth-level mystics. There isnt even a single breakthrough legend. And he himself does have nearly eight levels of strength. How can such a huge gap in realm be made up by quantity alone? Edward turned his eyes and looked back at Xia En, who was wearing platinum and rune armor, with a strong murderous intent flashing in his eyes. In his opinion. Among these action members, only Xia En can pose some threat to him. Therefore, Edward regards Shane as the primary target for elimination. Then, a faint blue light lit up in his eyes The secret power that had previously fallen on the rune armor began to be recovered again. Although the thousands of sword lights were blocked by this armor, it did not prevent Edward from collecting Xia En''s information. Just when his secret power returns. The information it carried made Edward slightly stunned. because That is not Xia En''s own data and information, but a large piece of unrelated knowledge! For example. "Postpartum Care for Sea Beasts" "Transmission and Simulation of Steam Machinery" "Federal Advanced Mathematics (Refined Solution "On the Application of Architecture in Island Planning" All kinds of strange and varied knowledge were transmitted to his mind from those secret powers. certainly. It''s not that this knowledge is useless, but Edward never expected to receive such knowledge in a battle. Just for a moment. Edward realized the reason behind this. He looked at the flashing runes on the armor and immediately understood Jane''s intention. There is no doubt about it. Jane knew that Edward had the ability to collect all aspects of the opponent''s information and find loopholes in battle. And at this moment. Jane took advantage of Edward''s ability to collect information and instilled this messy knowledge into his mind. This way. Edward''s cracking rules will be greatly hindered if he wants to continue to crack Shane''s information. Its equivalent to Contaminated Edward''s database with this knowledge. Just clear this knowledge out. It would cost him a lot of effort. Not to mention. At this time, Jane retained more than just a little knowledge on these runes. Instead, she was instilled with the vast amount of knowledge that she had read in the Federation Library for hundreds of years. Even among them, there is a lot of extremely dangerous taboo knowledge. If general knowledge is like sea water, it can only fill Edward''s mind in quantity. So. Forbidden knowledge is like a steel needle hidden in these waters, piercing the weaker places of the spirit. A piece or two of knowledge alone may not be able to do any harm to Edward. But when they pierced Edward''s mind again and again. It will eventually have some impact on his rationality. Especially in. Edward''s mental state is different from that of ordinary people. To know. As Joey''s father, the reason why Edward becomes what he is now is entirely due to the transformation of the [Truth Society]. His memory and personality were modified by the [Truth Society], and even his personality became incomplete. If you are stimulated by taboo knowledge again. No one knows what will happen to his spirit? It can be said. This is actually an "information war" between Jane and Edward. As the information poured in, many chaotic and fragmented memory fragments appeared in his mind. Those memories made him feel uneasy and panic for no reason. Edward understood that he was afraid of...really recalling those memories! "You guy..." Edward endured the dull pain in his mind and looked at Jane not far away. At this point, he changed his mind. Among this group of people, the person he fears the most has become a traitor to the [Truth Society]! But that''s it. Xia En had already arrived in front of Edward with the force of wind and thunder. The black sword composed of [Great Dark Sky] seems to absorb all the surrounding light and hide it in the shadow of the air. Combined with Shane''s own ever-improving physical fitness, coupled with the power brought by Carles Steam Core. The power of this sword. It can only be described as horrifying! It directly tore the space apart and roared forward. Wherever the black sword went, it left a dark crack in the air, leading nowhere. Although Edward was dizzy from the overwhelming amount of knowledge, his reaction became a little slow. But his true rank and strength are higher than Xia En''s after all. Facing Xia En''s attack, Edward snorted coldly, and a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from his eyes. Shane sensed a fatal crisis from this beam of light. I''m afraid even the armor created by Jane can''t block it. He forcibly changed his body movements and turned slightly sideways to avoid the beam. The seemingly slender beam of light fell on a wall in the palace hall. All of a sudden. The large wall actually decomposed into countless tiny particles in an instant and completely dissipated in the air. A huge gap appeared in the entire palace. Rumble This royal palace that had stood firm since the founding of the [Great Yan Kingdom] actually collapsed! (End of chapter) Chapter 404 The salary king lost, the vitality in th Chapter 404 King Xin is defeated, hope in desperate situation! With an earth-shattering bang. The already crumbling palace began to completely collapse. Cracks quickly spread across the palace walls. Like a torn painting. The originally tall and majestic dome was now shattered like a broken eggshell, with large slabs of stone hitting the ground. Then, the entire palace collapsed downwards. but. Neither Edward nor Xia En cared about the collapsed buildings around them, and only regarded the other party as a target that must be killed. boom! There was a loud noise, and the two swords collided without reservation. A ripple of secret power visible to the naked eye centered on the collision point and spread crazily in all directions. The [Secret Power of the Void] and the Law of Analysis are competing at a more microscopic level. [Void Secret Power] has the ability to assimilate and swallow other secret powers. The analytical law is to decipher the attributes and characteristics of the mysterious power of the void while in contact with it. Two distinct secret powers, but with something in common, continue to collide as the two fight against each other again and again. The aftermath caused the falling stones that were close to them to turn into powder. No remains of the palace could reach the two of them. but. Strictly speaking. In the confrontation between the two secret powers, Xia En''s secret power of the void was actually slightly inferior. after all. The gap in rank lies here. Even with the help of the [Eye of Peeping Secrets], Xia En vaguely glimpsed a corner of the [Great Law] and thus mastered part of the power of the law. But he never broke through to the legendary realm. The secret power has not yet completed its final sublimation and transformation. In the confrontation with Edward, it was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage by one or two points. but. Shane also has his own advantages. That is...he is not fighting alone! By Shane''s side, there is Carles who provides him with surging motivation. This made his already abnormal physical quality improve again. Only then did he have the capital to compete with the legend. And not far away. Jane has also been using her "information warfare" tactics to output pieces of filthy taboo knowledge to Edward. It''s equivalent to constantly attacking him mentally. It caused waves of tingling pain in Edward''s mind, and the application of the analytical rules was not smooth. other side. William and Latiwen each used their own secret techniques in an attempt to bring some support to Xia En. On the way, William''s injuries had been mostly healed by Latiwen, and they no longer affected his normal actions. at this time. William murmured obscure spells in a low voice. A deep light appeared in the depths of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, several dark and thick tentacles twisted out from his shadow. These tentacles are covered with strange lines, like ancient and evil runes flowing on them. The tips of the tentacles shone with a strange light, like strange eyes spying on prey. Immediately, the deep tentacles struck Edward''s back silently. at the same time. Latiwen''s young face was full of solemnity, as if there was a holy radiance gradually seeping out of his body. His hands were like agile birds, dancing rapidly in the air, weaving complex and mysterious light patterns. Holy and blazing light then lit up, surrounding him like a rising sun. Immediately afterwards. The light gathering around him became more and more dazzling, as if countless stars were condensed here. Latiwen herself is just an ordinary person. Just because of the characteristics of the [Glow Container], she obtained a massive amount of radiant secret power from the Lord of Glory. And now. He believes that now is the time to fully unleash this power! Under Latiwen''s unreserved promotion, the power of this brilliance even reached the level of legend. The next moment. Lativan shouted loudly. The sound resounded like a bell, and the light gathered in his hand rushed towards Edward like a torrent. Whether it is William or Latiwen, the power they use comes from the gods they believe in. Contains part of the power of the gods. In terms of the level of secret power alone, it is not inferior to Edward. So, facing the attack from both of them. Even Edward can''t ignore it easily. A "chi" sound. An invisible and qualityless decomposition force field was formed on Edward''s body, trying to decompose all the secret power that came close to him. Several pitch-black tentacles were broken into countless tiny particles before they could touch Edward''s body. And the torrent of brilliance shot by Latiwen was temporarily blocked by this protective shield. However, this does not mean that William and his attacks are useless. Their offensive did divert some of Edward''s attention. There is even some profound and mysterious power that has penetrated into this protective shield! Just at this moment. A special "dot" suddenly appeared in Xia En''s [[Eye of Peeping Secrets]]. He judged by intuition that this "point" was most likely Edward''s fatal flaw at this moment! But it is different from the key points found through search and troubleshooting in the past. The emergence of this "point" was due to Jane, Latiwen, William... and even the collapse of this palace. The combination of various factors caused Edward to reveal such flaws at this moment. And such an opportunity is undoubtedly fleeting! Therefore, Xia En did not hesitate to use the "double ship soul", "storm power", Carles'' power...all the means that could bring about improvement were used. Pushing his strength and momentum to a new peak. With a low roar. Xia En gathered all his strength from the soles of his feet, along his legs and waist, and then quickly transferred it to his arms. All the power is concentrated at the tip of the black sword like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea. The black sword carried a huge force, whistling and piercing the "spot" on Edward''s body! clang- There was an extremely long loud noise. Shane opened his eyes wide and looked at Edward in front of him. A silver-gray light shield appeared on Edward''s chest. But at this time, the tip of the black sword had penetrated the light shield and seemed to have pierced into Edward''s chest. "puff!" Immediately afterwards, Edward opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. His breath was visibly weakened. However, Xia En''s mood gradually sank to the bottom. because Although this sword caused a lot of injuries to Edward, it did not directly kill him with one sword! Sure enough. The next moment. Edward''s body suddenly disappeared in front of Shane and appeared dozens of meters away like a flicker. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes becoming colder. "It seems that I have indeed underestimated you." Edward looked around at the many members of the infiltration operation and said coldly. "In this case, I will no longer use conventional means to fight you." Before he finished speaking, a string of bracelets on his wrist suddenly lit up brightly. Seeing this scene, Xia En''s pupils suddenly shrank. He recognized the gems on the bracelets. That is what the members of the "Truth Society" call the "Order Stone". It seems that members of the [Truth Society] can use the [Order Stone] to forcibly control the clones created by them. Of course Xia En didn''t forget it. In this burning city, there are an unknown number of Xinwang clones! Buzz Just as Shane expected. As the light on Edward''s bracelet lit up, there was an obvious vibration in the sea of ????fire not far away. Immediately afterwards. One after another, ghost-like figures wearing black robes appeared in the sea of ??fire. That was the clone of King Xin summoned by Edward. It''s not hard to see. The surrounding flames, not only failed to harm them, but gradually attached themselves to them and burrowed under their black robes. Its like These men in black robes are absorbing the power from this fire! Seeing this, Xia En took a slight breath. At this moment, he suddenly understood Edward''s purpose of putting these Xinwang clones in this sea of ????fire instead of taking them directly to the palace! The fire that swept through the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] was originally the work of King Xin. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! That is to say. These flames naturally contain part of King Xin''s power. And the Xinwang clone created by the [Truth Society] can undoubtedly absorb the power in this fire and become more powerful. Or rather Become closer to the salary king! Xia En''s eyes swept across the sea of ????fire and found that the number of clones was at least dozens. Although most of the replicas have flaws and cannot fully grasp the power of King Xin, their ranks are generally at the fifth or sixth level. But after absorbing the flame of Xinwang, they will undoubtedly become more difficult and troublesome. If you are surrounded by them. Xia En and his party will probably be entangled by them. And, dont forget. There is also the powerful Edward on the side, watching eagerly. It can be said. Previously, there was still a slight chance of winning. A reversal occurred in an instant, and it was developing in the direction of collapse. The person with the numerical advantage turned from them to Edward! and. That''s not the worst thing. Seen aside. The shocking battle between Augustine and King Xin has come to an end. There was a loud bang! In the illusory ocean, a stormy wave tens of meters high suddenly rolled up, carrying the power of the sea, and slammed towards the sea of ????fire below. All of a sudden. This huge wave seemed to include the entire sea of ????fire, sucking it into his body. White steam rose instantly, occupying people''s field of vision. However, this time, the speed at which the flames evaporated the seawater was obviously slower. This causes the seawater to evaporate at the same time. The surging waves still formed an incredibly large vortex. It spins like a millstone, constantly strangling the blazing flames inside. After a while. The flame is temporarily extinguished. The figure of King Xin emerged from it. He forcibly broke away from the control of the whirlpool of the sea water and fell back into the ruins of the palace. But anyone with a discerning eye can see it. His aura at this time was much weaker than before, his entire face was pale, and his aura was far behind him. And opposite Xin Wang. Augustine, who had transformed into a human form again, still looked down at everyone present with majestic eyes. The arrogance and power that belong to the king are limited to nothing. The momentum, as vast as the sea, has not diminished at all. Brings a suffocating sense of oppression. It''s obvious. In this battle, King Xin lost. Think about it too. After all, King Xin in this memory scene is not his true body. Before the war started, he also used his own power to ignite the entire Great Yan Kingdom. The state is not at its peak. Although Augustine was in a state of being manipulated, his strength was still intact. There is even a once genuine legendary sword [Wang Yang] as a weapon. One goes down and the other goes up. It is reasonable for Augustine to win this battle. However, this is extremely bad news for Xia En and others. Just dealing with one Edward was already very dangerous and extremely difficult for them. Even if everyone works together, they may not be able to defeat him. at this time. There are so many Xinwang clones surrounding him. Augustine, the most powerful, even lost his restrictions. He alone can sweep through everyone present. This is absolute suppression of strength and rank. Even Shane couldn''t get past it. In fact. This is not a battle that they, the sixth-level secret path, should face in the first place. The members of the infiltration operation were able to persist until this moment because of their own willpower and Xia En''s performance beyond common sense. But now, Xia En and others are undoubtedly in a real desperate situation. There was a look of despair in William''s eyes. "Could it be...are we done here?" As for Benny, looking at Augustine not far away, his arms were weak and his limbs were weak, not as strong as usual. It was his body that instinctively felt fear. Benny bit his lip tightly and didn''t care even if it bled. "Move...move for me!" And the other side. Edward showed a winning smile. He didn''t bother to talk any more nonsense and directly ordered Augustine. "Augustin B1, kill them all!" Upon hearing this order, the taciturn Augustine took a step forward and raised the big sword [Wang Yang] in his hand. While raising the sword, the terrifying power continued. The illusory sea emerged from behind him again. This sword was so powerful that it seemed like it could kill all of them with just one swing. Xia En couldn''t help but feel his hair standing on end. Even though he had overestimated Augustine''s strength as much as possible, only when he actually faced him could he feel the strength of the former pirate king. But just when the sword was about to fall. Click! With a crisp sound, a crack appeared in the dark sky above everyone. Immediately afterwards. This crack expanded rapidly, as if forming a passage to the outside world. In a moment. A figure wrapped in flames fell from it like a meteor. boom- Meteors cut through the atmosphere at extremely fast speeds, making a roaring roar. In just the blink of an eye, it arrived in this ruins! A familiar voice sounded. "Captain Shane, thank you for your hard work." "Next, leave it to us." (End of chapter) Chapter 405 [Powerful Masters of the Seven Seas] VS Chapter 405 [Seven Sea Men Strong] vs [Da Yan] Watching this fall from the sky, hearing this familiar voice. Xia En''s expression couldn''t help but relax a lot, and his mood settled instantly. This is not only because of confidence in the comer and his confidence in his own vision. And William, Latiwen, and Benny all looked at this sudden man with a shocking look. They recognized only at a glance. This tall and magnificent man is not someone else, it is the king of salary! and. Unlike the salary king who was defeated in Augustine just now. The salary king in front of him has an indescribable supreme majesty. The momentum is at its peak. The flames on his body were hot and bright, as if beyond the vulgarity of the world, and it was almost impossible to look directly. And in his eyes, there is a kind of wisdom and vicissitudes set by time. It is the temperament that can only have only after a long baptism. Honestly. [Da Yan] The salary king created is extraordinary enough. He did have the spirit and responsibility of the king, and what he said made William and others swaying. but. I am afraid of comparison everything. At this time, when the real salary king debuted. Everyone can not only notice that there is a certain difference in soul between the two paid kings. You can distinguish it at a glance. It can be said. At this moment, the salary king has the majesty of the king who is in line with his identity and status at this moment. Augustin, the king of pirates not far away, presents the trend of trials. The shock of Latiwen and others is not difficult to understand. For them. The salary king is more like a character who lives in the legend and lives in historical books. The previous salary king was a pseudo -shaped by [Big inflammation]. And as soon as they appeared, they were defeated by Augustine, and they were naturally not so strong to give Latiwen their impact. And the salary king in front of him is the true thing of goods! It is equivalent to a living legend that came in front of them. How can this not make them set off in their hearts? in. Naturally, the eyes of dark ice are the most complicated. After witnessing so many pictures in the memory scene. She has realized that the salary king may not have betrayed their promises. The salary king did not abandon their feelings. Many of his actions are a last resort. The reason why he will get away from the salary king. on the one hand. It is because of the imminent disaster. On the other hand, it is a misunderstanding of various opportunities. To this day, it is difficult to say who is wrong. But if you want Dark Ice to pretend not to happen directly, forgive the salary king, but it is obviously impossible. At this time, this meeting that spans hundreds of years will inevitably make Dark Bing''s ups and downs. She wanted to say something, but she couldn''t say it directly. However, the current situation is not the time to care about these children. After suppressing the thoughts in my heart. Dark Bing could not help but emerge in a problem. How did the salary king enter [Da Yan] in the interior? [Da Yan] Isn''t it excluded the legendary and above strong? And at this time. Xia En and Jane have answered in their hearts. In fact. When Edward and Augustine appeared in [Da Yan] in the palace. They thought of a possibility. As the three nodes are destroyed in succession, the internal stability of [Da Yan] is likely to be fragile to a certain extent. It can make the legendary strong enter some way. Obviously. The crack on the sky was that the salary king forcibly opened the channel to enter the [Da Yan]. This came in front of Xia En''s people at a critical moment. only. Xia En also noticed that what the salary king said was ... "We?" Thinking of this, Xia En looked up again. I saw several figures appearing in that crack. And Xia En is no stranger to those figures. Two people headed. One person exudes white glory similar to Latiwen, as if it was embraced by light. It looks holy and brilliant. The other person was wearing a black robe, her hair curled like a sea snake, and her body exudes a quiet and cold temperament. It seems that it has just been salvaged from the seawater under thousands of meters. These two are the strong who reaches the eighth level- Grand Bishop Musa! And one of the most mysterious characters in Youyou denomination, Mr. Haile. And this is not all. I saw behind Musa and Hyrene. First, a dazzling purple mang tore the heavy clouds, just like a big blade. In the purple mang, a magnificent shore stepped on the void, surrounded by thunder. Each step falls, making the space make a "click" sound like a broken glazed. This person is a legendary secret of Thunder, and is called [Thunder Lord] in the Seven Sea Federation. He looked like an electricity, scanning the Quartet, and the power of the thunder system emitted on his body made the air around the air crackling. Immediately afterwards, the starlight in the sky gathered to form a shining star bridge. An old man in a star robe paced from the bridge. He held an ancient book with a soft light in his hand. Each page is over, and the power of stars overflows, forming a variety of mysterious astrology around him. Looking at the appearance of this old man, he may think he is unfamiliar. But once he lifted his deeds. Most people on the Seven Sea will be impressed. This old man is a legendary realm [Star Prophet]! Title- [Star Old Man] The prediction about the second time to destroy the world was the first conclusion. And lock the source of the flood in advance for the Federation [Extreme North]. Otherwise, it is just a document that has been sealed for many years. It is impossible to quickly attach great importance to federal officials. It can even say. [Kings] Exploring the [Extreme North Land] action was born under the strong promotion of this old man. Not only that. Behind the federal officials'' several major actions, they are actually related to the predictions of the old people. And this time. In order to defeat [Da Yan], even he even participated in the war. After all, there is an egg under the nest. This war is not only the war of the Seventh Seventh China Federation, but also the war of all human beings throughout the world, and even the Seven Sea World. Even if it is an old man in Xingchen, he is more accustomed to the legendary strong behind the scenes, and he is forced to appear in front of the stage to participate in such a battle. In addition to them, there are several legendary strong strong who have a very good strength and breath. Each of them has their own unique skills and has a great reputation on the Seven Sea. Anyone who rushes out is a figure of the Seven Sea Sea. When they gathered here and standing in the air alone, they brought a powerful and magnificent momentum. It is enough to make ordinary secrets trembling. There is no doubt. These legendary strong people are the true backbone of [Seven Sea World]. The burden of deciding [Seven Sea World] to survive should not fall on Xia En and others. Now, it is just to return to the right track. Of course, Xia En and others'' previous actions were definitely not worthless. It is precisely because they destroyed the previous three key nodes and disrupted the internal pattern of [Da Yan]. Only the legendary strong people such as the king will have the opportunity to open a passage and launch the overall attack on [Da Yan]. As the legendary strong people debut, the secret power in the memory scene is crazy. The mysterious light is intertwined with the strange power, and the sea of ??fire below is contrasting with each other. This one of the strange space becomes more chaotic and disorderly. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Similarly. The internal structure of the entire [Dayan] is also due to the influx of the legendary strong, which further loses stability. Just then. The salary king turned his head to look at the self that was shaped by [Da Yan]. After the battle with Augustine. The salary king in the memory scene was weak, and the secrets in the body did not exist. It seemed that it was suffering from an irreparable injury. He could still stand in front of Xia En and others before, but it was hard to support it. At this time, I saw the real myself arrived. Instead of being sad, the salary king in memory showed a smile that was exposed. "You are here." "I know, if it was me, how could I miss such a key decisive battle?" Hearing the words, the real salary king tone a little guilty. "I still have a step slower." The memory salary shook his head and said. "I was a fantasy destined to dissipate." "The defeat of another king in the past did not fall into the name of the salary king." "It is enough to see the truth of this world at the last moment, and you can still see the real self." "Now, I have completed my mission." "The next thing will be given to you." "Come on, another me." When the words fell, the salary king in the memory closed his eyes. The entire incomplete body gradually became a slightly dull flame. "Next, it''s our battle." The salary king sighed and stretched out his hand. This flame fell into his hands, like the nodes that absorbed [Da Yan] before the fire. Blinking. This cluster of flames were completely integrated into the salary king''s body. The disappearance of the memory king means that the second key node of [Da Yan] is also destroyed. at the moment. The distance from [Da Yan] is only one step away! only. The dissipation of the memory king is not at all disadvantages. With the disappearance of his node. Originally, because of many legendary strong men, it became more and more fragile and unbalanced. Just like what Xia En encountered a few times, he completely collapsed. In the sea of ??fire, there were terrible cracks, like a dark black hole, swallowed everything nearby. Even the buildings that were transformed into ruins were also unable to survive. In the sky. When the salary king and others broke in, the gap caused the cracks to spread to the surroundings. The whole piece of sky curtain is fragmented, like crushed porcelain. But for the legendary strong people of the king, the crumbling memory scene is not a problem. What really made them eye -catching. In the sea of ??fire. Gradually appeared in the figure of the undead. They wrapped around the **** flames, and their bodies seemed like coke corpses. With strong resentment and anger, these flames made a "call" sound, as if they were telling their unwillingness during their lifetime. and. The strength of these undead is generally extremely powerful. Among them, there is even a legendary realm. Obviously. This is not just the undead born in this sea of ??fire. The [Da Yan], which woke up, began to use his own strength to hang out outsiders such as the salary king. at the same time. Edward is not just watching. After seeing the salary king and others, his complexion changed slightly, but he didn''t think he had no chance. He raised his wrist again, with the help of [Ling Stone], manipulating the replication of the salary king, and Augustine B1 to attack many legends on the Seven Sea. "Augustine, kill them!" With his order. Augustine raised the big sword again [Wang Yang], and cut in the direction of Xia En and others. The terrible power surged in time. "Your opponent ... it''s me!" The salary king drink coldly. A huge flame blade appeared in his hand, and he chopped away by [Wang Yang]. As soon as the flames were in contact with the unreal seawater, a fierce burst sound came out. The state of the memory salary king and Augustine are different. This knife of the genuine salary king is left directly in the unreal sea. As if to cut the entire sea! at the same time. In the eyes of Augustine B1, the salary king brought mercy. "After all, it''s just a pseudo -produced pseudo." "No matter how similar it is, it does not have the real soul of the pirate king." "Now, let me help you get rid of it." Just when the salary king got up, when he was struggling with Augustin. The Grand Bishop of Musa and Mr. Hyrenes were the goal of Edward View the primary solution. "[Truth] walking dog." "Although I don''t know why you betrayed humans, trying to destroy the world." "But since you do this, you must be prepared to be the enemy of the world!" Mun''s eyes suddenly lit up like the sun as bright as the sun. A beam dropped from the sky and directly locked the position of Edward. This is a Hui religion that can limit the enemy''s movement. Under the light, everything has nothing to do. Edward cannot use means such as "space transmission" to get rid of control. Immediately afterwards. Hyller, who was mad dancing, seemed to turn into the shadow under that glory, as close to Edward as a ghost. Immediately, Hyrene stretched out his hand and shot it everywhere. A dark handprint appeared on Edward''s chest. Exudant a creepy atmosphere. As the handprints kept tightening, Edward''s heart seemed to be caught by a big hand and was constantly squeezed. This is exactly a variant of [Heart Sites]. Edward does not sit still. He drank height. "Truth, I know ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 406 [The battle situation turns around] [Unl Chapter 406 [The battle situation turns around] [The solution density is 99%! Following Edward''s prayer-like cry. A mysterious and mysterious power suddenly emerged from his body. This secret power is different from the secret power used by many legendary mystics. It is like some kind of highly concentrated data flow. Contains an extremely large amount of information. And when the data flowed through Edward. All areas that were flowed through seemed to have pressed the refresh button and were reset to an intact state. Even the black handprint on his chest disappeared in an instant. It''s like it never appeared. This kind of erasure is completely different from erasure in the conventional sense. It''s more like directly covering Edward''s body with massive data. As a result, the injuries and losses suffered in the previous battles were all restored to the peak state without injury. Not far away, Musas eyes narrowed slightly. "Is this... [overwriting]?" Musa had fought against members of the [Truth Society] several times, so he knew some of their methods. The so-called [overwrite] is as the name suggests. It means using a large amount of data and information to cover and rewrite the original appearance of things. Or, like Edward at this time, it can be used to change one''s own state. Or it may give the overwritten person some abilities that he does not originally possess and use them in battle. certainly. Not everyone can be the target of being overwritten. As far as Musa knows. Even in the [Truth Society], there are only a few members who can overwrite themselves anytime, anywhere, even in battle. Moreover, such overwriting capabilities are not free. Directly and roughly instilling data into the bodies of the Mystics will undoubtedly cause some irreversible damage to their bodies and even their souls. Especially on a spiritual level. Those who have experienced the secret path of overwriting may not only have a drastic change in their mood. It is more likely that you will lose your original rationality and slide towards the abyss of madness. Put it simply. He becomes a madman with chaotic thinking and irrationality. Therefore, in the [Truth Society]. [Overwriting] is also a quite taboo method. only. Edward''s situation is obviously different from that of ordinary secret travelers. His memory and personality have been greatly deleted and distorted. Like a broken doll that has been patched up. Its already full of loopholes, but I dont care to add a few more. Therefore, the side effects caused by memory overwriting have little impact on him. After using this move to eliminate the injuries caused by Heller''s ultimate move. Edward once again input a complex piece of data into his body and whispered softly. "[Glow Affinity]" As countless information streams flashed through Edward''s eyes, it meant that this talent had taken effect on him in an instant. The light beams cast by Musa around him not only failed to have the effect of continuing the blockade. Instead, part of it was absorbed by Edward''s body and became the secret power he drove. "What?" Musa''s eyes suddenly opened slightly, and a surge of anger arose from his heart. In the teachings of Huijiao. Only devout and pure believers can absorb the brilliance of the Lord of Radiance. Just like Latiwen who is a member of the infiltration team. -He can become the so-called [Glow Container], in addition to the special nature of his own soul, it is also because he has an extremely rare innocent heart. And in Musa''s view. Edward''s act of absorbing the brilliance at this time is undoubtedly a blasphemy against the brilliance and even the lord of the brilliance. His anger is not difficult to understand. And obviously. [Glow Affinity] is not the only talent that Edward can overwrite. During the war between the three secret sects. Not only Musa and Heller are aware of some of the methods of the [Truth Society]. The [Truth Society] also collected a lot of data on the powerful people of the two sects, thus deciphering the abilities of the Hui sect and the Yousu sect. Now is the time to make use of this information. "[The power of darkness]" Edward murmured softly. A massive flow of information washed over his body again. When he opened his eyes again, Edward had a profound temperament that was very similar to Heller''s. Like coming from the deep sea thousands of meters below. Chilling. Seeing this, Heller''s expression also changed. However, he did not feel flustered by this, but sneered. "Even you, the number of times you can overwrite these talents is limited, right?" "Even if you can temporarily possess the resistance of our sect and Hui sect, how should you deal with the other strong men present?" It seems to prove Heller''s statement. Just the next moment. A figure with thunder wrapped around its body had already shuttled in front of Edward like lightning. It is the eighth-level powerhouse, the Lord of Thunder! The taciturn man said nothing and just took action. He raised his palm. The thunder and lightning condensed into a knife in a moment, showing a deep purple color, with countless tiny thunder snakes running on it. Immediately afterwards. This hand knife carries a terrifying aura that seems to be able to destroy everything. Cut towards Edward. Compared to other laws. The effect of the Thunder Law is actually quite plain and simple. That is... It is as terrifying and destructive as the mighty power of heaven. Domineering, direct, rough, but irresistible. So faced with such a blow. Edward didn''t dare to relax at all. His eyes lit up with blue light, and the decomposition field around him was fully activated. And it attempted to teleport to another area with the help of space flickering at the moment the thunder fell. But that''s about it. A strange song suddenly sounded. The song sung seemed to be in a language that did not belong to this world. It sounds extremely mysterious and mysterious. And with a heart-stopping power. And what came with the singing was the brilliance of countless bright stars. The stars appeared all around Edward out of thin air, arranged to form a mysterious star pattern. And that strange singing voice came from countless stars! It''s like...a chorus from the stars! This is exactly the astrology secret technique of Old Man Xingchen. Under the song and light of the stars. Edward''s body seemed to have been suddenly injected with liquid lead, and every inch of muscle became extremely heavy. This kind of secret technique does not only affect his body. His thinking and the operation of his secret power have become extremely slow. The picture in front of me seemed to have turned into a slideshow that was slowly playing frame by frame. Even in the next moment. Edward forced himself out of this sluggish state. However, in a battle at their level. Even a delay of one second is enough to determine the outcome of the battle. When unable to teleport away. Edward could only face the terrifying thunder in front of him. In an instant, the entire space seemed to be solidified by this majestic thunder power. The air was instantly ionized, making a sharp "sizzling" sound. It seemed as if the entire space was groaning in pain under this terrifying power. Wherever the attack hit, the ground was instantly torn open with bottomless ravines. There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look! It was as if the earth had been clawed hard by the sharp claws of an evil beast. The earth and rocks on the edge of the gully were instantly melted by the high temperature, flowing into hot magma, exuding a pungent smell of sulfur. As for Edward, who was the first to bear the brunt, the decomposition field around him shattered in an instant. The violent thunder directly hit his body and opened a huge gap in his waist. This gap almost cut Edward in half! The cut surface of the wound was completely charred, and even the internal organs were severely carbonized! There is no doubt about it. This was the most serious injury Edward had suffered since the war began. If an ordinary person suffered such an injury, he would probably die completely within a few breaths and die completely! But Edward is an eighth-level secret pather after all. As his vitality continued to drain, he once again used the power of overwriting to forcibly restore his body to the state before the injury. Only this time. He obviously could not completely avoid all injuries. Even after overwriting, his face was extremely pale and his secret power was severely lost. Not only that. There is also a steady stream of the secret power of thunder remaining in his body, constantly destroying his body. This is because The previous attack by the Thunder Lord had already seeped the secret power of Thunder into Edward''s secret power. At a more microscopic level, it becomes one with his body. Even if Edward overwrites it, he can only overwrite it into the state of the bearer of the secret power of thunder. But the destructive power caused by the Thunder is real. This resulted in Edward having to overwrite it again and again, but was unable to truly heal his injuries. It can be said. From this moment on, Edward will only become weaker and weaker, and his injuries will become more serious. This also means that he is inevitably heading towards the end of defeat. Despite this, Edward still did not give up resistance and used his own methods to attack Musa and others. At the same time, four eighth-level experts were besieging Edward. Not far away. The battle between King Xin and Augustine has also entered a fever pitch. The battlefield between the two of them has changed from the ruins of the palace to the entire nearby city. In this city that was engulfed in flames and filled with terrifying cracks. The flames illuminated the sky as red as blood. Augustine stands on the sea he created, with an illusory and huge battleship at his feet. That was the [Black Sails] that accompanied him in battles in the past! certainly. This [Black Sail] is just an illusion condensed by his secret power, not a real ship. But even so, when the [Black Sails] emerged on this sea, it still showed a bit of invincible and invincible power in history! The wind howled. Augustine''s wide black cloak was flapping, and his deep eyes seemed to contain endless power. He just waved his hand, and the sea surface began to churn violently. Huge waves were like giant beasts waking up one after another, rising from the sea of ????fire and rushing towards the direction of King Xin. King Xin''s eyes were hot and firm, and an exaggeratedly large long blade appeared in his hand, and he swung it towards the huge wave. All of a sudden. A flaming sword light hundreds of meters long slashed towards the incoming waves. It seemed as if the entire sky was about to be split open. The moment the sword energy collided with the waves, there was a deafening roar. The firelight and waterlight intertwined to form a gorgeous and shocking picture. The waves were chopped into pieces by the sword energy and turned into water splashes all over the sky. At the same time. Augustine controlled the [Black Sail] at his feet and rushed towards King Xin in a mighty manner. The huge momentum was like a mountain toppling over. King Xin did not show any weakness and turned into a flaming giant hundreds of meters high, colliding with the illusory [Black Sail]. The aftermath of the battle between the two former kings was so earth-shattering that many undead nearby were shattered to pieces. As for the other legends rushing to the battlefield, they were naturally not idle either. They found the nearby clone of King Xin, as well as the [Great Flame] undead that surged in the flames. Someone waved their weapons in the sky, and the undead fell in pieces like wheat. There are people who are like lightning and can move freely among the monsters. The sharp blade in his hand is wrapped with a sharp wind blade, and each swing can destroy several enemies. Others sang war songs, cast healing spells, added buffs to other legendary powerhouses, and healed their wounds. In the distance, only another violent roar was heard. The beam of the [God-Destroyer Cannon] shot out from the [King], instantly clearing a large area of ??undead. Seeing that beam of light, Xia En in the field was overjoyed. This proves that Colonel Gold and his crew are still fighting on the King. And with King Xin and many legendary strong men joining the battle. Now, the balance of victory seems to be gradually tilting towards them? Xia En and others, who had experienced several battles and nearly died, became the most leisurely people in the field. On the one hand, many powerful enemies have been entangled by legendary powerhouses. on the other hand. Xia En and the others do need this kind of time to take a short breather and rest. Just quickly. Shane noticed that this memory scene did not completely collapse as he expected. Instead, it maintains a state of collapse but not collapse, maintaining a fragile balance. "What''s going on?" On the side, Jane, who was also replying, replied. "I think...this scene is most likely the last fragment in [Da Yan]''s memory." "It is also its most core area." "After all, after this fire, the entire [Great Yan Country] ceased to exist." Shane suddenly understood. He figured out something at this time. perhaps The reason why this undead spirit of [Great Yan] was born is because in this fire, the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] developed extremely strong resentment! This resentment and remnant souls gathered together to form [Great Flame]. [The solution density of "The Mystery of the Destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom" +5%! [Current solution density: 99%! Seeing these lines of text, Xia En''s pupils shrank. 99%, which means that there is still a mystery in the whole incident that has not been solved. All of a sudden. Shane thought of another question. Since this is the final scene of [Great Flame], where is the last key node? Moreover, would that mysterious [Omniscient Sage] really watch them win this victory? (End of chapter) Chapter 407 Augustine body! [全 【【] Appears! Chapter 407 Augustine! [ȫ ] Appears! Just then. Latiwen asked. "Actually there is something, I haven''t figured out yet." Latwen said his confusion seriously. "That''s ..." "Why should the salary king set off this fire, ignite the city of Fan Yan and even [Da Yan Kingdom]?" Actually. Not just him, William, Bennie, and even Karlez could not figure out the reason behind this. Hearing the words, Jian opened his mouth explaining. "The following is my guess on this reason." "Not necessarily the real answer." "But combined with the information that has been known now, this is the most likely situation." "You should have seen the horrible and weird dirty creature on the [Extreme North]?" Latiwen nodded silently. Anyone who has seen such a monster will leave a very deep impression. Especially the kind of soul imprisonment in a increasingly decaying and distorted body, eternal life and eternal life must not be relieved. It also made them feel creepy from the heart. No one wants themselves to become that existence. Jian Ji continued. "Now I can basically determine that those dirty creatures are [Dan Yan Kingdom]." "The reason why they turned into the later appearance is most likely because of [Dian Di], that is, the curse of the foreign god!" "I think" "This curse may be applied to [Da Yan] all of the nationals in some way." "At that time, the salary king could not solve this curse." "But there is a way to let them avoid the monsters that are not ghosts and ghosts, and they are not as good as dead." Hearing here. Even if you do nt need to say that method, everyone has guessed the final answer. That''s ... Use the flame to completely purify them! The flame of the salary king is essentially [old day salary fire] from the Seven Sea World. At the same level as the secret force of the outer god. Naturally, you can clear this terrible and evil curse. But the price burned all his people. This is certainly not a good way. It''s just that in these two bad endings, the relatively good one is selected. At least [Da Yan Kingdom], people who do not have to endure the eternal torture in the long time can get eternal and peaceful rest. But for the salary king. Killing these innocent people in person, they must also bear their misunderstandings and hatred. How could that mood be uncomfortable? Xia En couldn''t help but think of the period when Yan Yan just remembered his memory. At that time, he always had an unimaginable heavy and sad. It can be seen that the depth of scars brought to him. It was the injury that was deeply engraved in the heart and never healed. By this time. Xia En also completely wanted to understand. Why did the salary choose to forget his memory. Why did he be burned by his flames all the time when he first encountered Yan Yan at the time and was suffering from the pain of burning every inch of skin and flesh. That''s all because of this tragedy! The sense of self -protection of the human body made him selectively forget those most cruel and painful memories. As a result, the salary king became a naive, kind, and open -minded, but he didn''t know anything. But at the same time. The salary king could not really forget the sin that he committed. The guilt and guilt in the heart are always torturing him. The specific manifestation is the body that is constantly burning and regenerating. This is the [Self -Penalty] of the Pay King! Based on it. That was because the salary king could not forgive, destroying the entire [Da Yan Kingdom] himself. Therefore, in this way, punish yourself. But in the end. Due to the approaching of the second destroyed flood, the salary king still recalled the painful past. In the end, he decided to leave [Black Swan] and struggle for the future of human beings. Soon, Xia En beside him, Dark Bing couldn''t help raising questions. "One more thing, I can''t understand." "I was clearly seen in the [Extreme North] I met Irina." "But in this memory scene, I witnessed the scene of she was burned into a burnt corpse." "What''s going on?" "Is Elena''s life or death?" "Also ... Is the maintenance device in their mouths real?" Smell, Jian hesitated, or said. "Actually, when I first saw Elena and Sergei." "I faintly noticed a little difference." "Their words and deeds, breath, and vitality are generally the same as living people, and even lively blood and surging heartbeat." "However, they linger on a strange death." "It''s like ... they should have died many years ago." "Of course, this kind of death is extremely light, and only a few people can notice it." Jane paused and continued. "I originally thought this was my illusion, but after experiencing the whole memory scene." "I can assert that most of the [black inflammation", including Elena, actually did not survive the fire. " "I have really slept for thousands of years, and people who have spanned to this day from the era of [Da Yan Kingdom]." "From beginning to end, only His Royal Highness You." Even if I had expected in my heart, after hearing this answer, Dark Bing couldn''t help but move, and at the same time, he was in a lot of shocks. She asked again. "What kind of state is that Elena?" "Why can you act like a living person?" Briefly explain. "If I didn''t guess wrong." "Elena, these [Black Flamers] can be resurrected, and they are also related to the salary king and [Da Yan]." "Perhaps ... the salary king was expected to come in advance to the second big flood." "So, put together the souls of this part of [Black Yanxian]." "And let them wake up at the right time and find themselves who have amnesia." "And Elena''s performance is the same as that of ordinary living people, one key reason is ..." "They lost their memories before death!" "I originally thought that the salary king seal Elena''s memory is for other purposes." "But now it seems that such a seal is a kind of protection." "You can make [Black Yan Pedestrian] mistakenly think that they are still alive." "If they know the fact that they have died, I am afraid they will dissipate and collapse in an instant." The words that Brief said are exactly the same as the conclusions came after Xia En''s thinking. It''s just a little bit. Jane did not say exit. That''s ... [Dayan Kingdom] Why do all citizens fall into such a terrible curse? Honestly, Xia En already had a approximate answer. It was obviously related to the ritual that was given to the salary king. It is very likely that in order to seal the upcoming big flood, the king of salary kings will be cursed by the secrets of [Da Yan Kingdom] during the use of rituals. But think of this. Xia En couldn''t help but have another doubt. [Quanxiaxian] What is the purpose of doing so? Even if the [Truth will], in order to pursue the truth, you can hesitate at all costs. But what did Xia En not see? What does it have to do with the pursuit of truth to destroy the world? The so -called "new world" in their mouths is more like a slogan. Moreover, how can the rituals of [Quanxiaxian] be related to the secret force of [Filial Fate]? Xia En faintly has a premonition. If these questions can be answered. He can completely solve the mystery of [Da Yan Kingdom] and know the truth of everything. Just when Xia En''s thoughts were undulating. Not far away, on the battlefield that was intertwined with the flames. The heavens and the earth seemed to be confused by these two powerful forces. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! The salary king''s body surrounded the flames of burning, like a walking volcano, hitting Augustine again and again. Augustine was a big sword in his hand [Wang Yang] once, and he was fighting with the salary king. Countless water columns rose from the unreal sea. Just like a dragon, rushing towards the salary king in the flame. The salary of the incarnation of the flame giant was not afraid, and the flame giant blade with the power of destroying the earth and split down. This time, the [Black Sail] that was condensed was directly divided into two. The illusory giant ship was fragmented in the flame. The crushing of [Heifan] also means that Augustine completely fell into the wind in this battle. It''s like Augustine''s paid king will occupy an advantage. At this time, Augustine B1, no matter how similar it is, is not the real king of pirates after all. His thinking and ability should be more rigid. This is also a defect in the [Truth Council]. Therefore, when facing the real salary king, it is only a matter of time. However, Augustine did not give up resistance. There was a sudden light in his eyes, and his hands were lifted up. Immediately afterwards. On the unreal on the sea, an unprecedented tsunami set off out of thin air, and the huge waves seemed to swallow the sky. With an unstoppable momentum, he swept towards the salary king. The salary king took a deep breath and brought the flames of the whole body to the giant blade. He jumped high and cut out a shocking knife towards the tsunami. In a moment. The world changes color. This knife, with endless flames and strength, the air was squeezed to make a sharp whistling. Everything in the way is swallowed by the flame. Boom. The flame cut the terrible tsunami into two halves and fell on Augustine''s body, and quickly ignited it. At the last moment of life, Augustine seemed to find his own personality and memory. In the burning of the flames. He smiled at the salary king. "Later, you can call more qualified kings than me." Augustine turned his head to look at Xia En below, and a little nostalgia, emotion and excitement appeared in his eyes. He murmured softly. "Type hoping in the future ..." "Now, I really see the hope of victory." "My mission has been completed, but your road is still difficult." "The future of this world is in your hands!" After saying this. Augustine''s body suddenly collapsed into countless unreal seawater and disappeared in the air. And it seems that there is an ancient vicissitudes of boat songs, and it sounds. "Goodbye to your hometown ..." "I will start today ..." Xia En is extremely familiar with the melody of this boat song. It was the boat song that once beheaded the head of the head and the [Black Sail]. Subsequently, the unreal sea shaped by Augustine also disappeared in a blink of an eye. Make Xia En a little emotional. Even if it was just Augustine''s replication, when he fell, it still showed extraordinary spirit. At the same time, the salary king slowly fell down and stood on a messy battlefield. The flame on him was still burning, announcing the victory of the king''s duel. On the other. The battle between Mouza and Edward is also close to the end. In the field. The mysterious astrology, the raging thunder, the dazzling glory, the shadow of the weird ... The secrets of the eight -tier strong are constantly alternating and flashing back and forth in this area. It looks strange and mysterious. Under the offensive of the four. Edward, who had previously taken advantage of the upper hand of Xia En and others, showed a clear trend. He used the power of [overwriting] again and again to heal his body. He was constantly hurt by the attack of the four. Sometimes it is worn by the arrow of the stars. Sometimes it is tearing the flesh by the violent thunder. In this battle, Musa played the role of nanny and auxiliary. Cure the injuries on the companion''s body with holy glory. At the same time, Edward''s actions are limited. Mr. Hyle, the most unknown atmosphere, is like a ghost assassin who always appears in the most insidious position and launching a sneak attack on Edward. For a while, the light on the battlefield flashed, and various powerful secrets were criss -crossed. over time. Edward''s secrets gradually weakened, and his body began to shake under the attack of the four. The light blue light in the eyes became more dull, like a candlelight that was about to extinguish. finally. Under the positive bombardment of [Thunder dominated], the decomposition field of Edward''s body was broken. The terrible thunder fell directly to his chest, leaving a large scorching trace. Edward vomited blood, his eyes were scattered, and his breath was weak. And this time, his writing ability also seemed to reach the limit, and he could no longer cure this fatal injury. "You lost." Silently dominated, finally said the first sentence since the start of the war. It''s just about this. Edward only swept the four of them with irony eyes. "I lost?" "No, you dont know what will happen after you defeat me." "You, you know nothing about the real power." Haileyin sneered: "At this time, do you want to say a lot?" But aside, Musa frowned, and the ominous premonition was born in his heart. I saw that Edward closed his eyes, and his voice gradually dissipated. But the next moment. Another extremely strange voice sounded in his body. "Everyone, happy game ... here is over!" Hearing this sound, the salary king looked calm, and murmured with gritted teeth. "[ ȫ ] ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 408 Facing [Quanxian Sage] [Seven Sin] Chapter 408 Straight [All Knowledge Sage] [Seven Criminal Crimes] "[ ȫ ] ..." Hearing this name, Xia En''s look suddenly became very dignified. The opponent is not only the founder of the "Truth Council], the most mysterious and unpredictable [Truth Council] chairman. It is also the culprit for [Da Yan Kingdom] to go. even It may also have some close connection with the [Different Destiny]. How could Xia En not be vigilant about such a character? Not only the legendary strong people such as Xia En and Paying King, Munsa, Mr. Hyle, and Thunder dominated, they also looked at the "Edward." Many of them have not heard of the name [Quanzhi Sage]. But everyone can perceive. At this time, some of the terrible variability of Edward was undergoing some kind of indescribable and terrible mutations. The most obvious. It is his breath that is becoming more and unpredictable. The space around is shrouded in a heavy and depressed secret, as if in the edge of the endless dark abyss. Every time people breathe, they can feel the ancient and vicissitudes contained in that breath. Like the precipitation of countless years, there are countless unknown hidden secrets, which makes people feel strong. Previous Edward, as a strong man with eight -tier combat power. Naturally, the breath cannot be described as not strong, and it once suppressed Xia En and others. But compared with him at this time. But it seemed like a stream met a sea. The gap between the two sides is so large that it is difficult to measure. This means. The strength and danger of "Edward" will also change dramatically. This could not help but secretly shocked some legendary strong men. Edward just now requires four eight -tier strong siege to completely eliminate. At that now. How terrible will this be called the existence of [Quanzhi Sage]? Everyone can see it. Although the man in front of him was still wearing Edward''s skin, he has completely become another person in essence! With the change of "Edward" atmosphere. His body surface began to have a strange blue light. The countless data flowed through the light and quickly spread to his whole body. His facial features and body shape gradually blurred in the light, as if he was rubbed by a pair of invisible big hands. The bones made a fierce "click" sound, and the original slender posture gradually increased. After a moment. Edward''s face disappeared completely, and replaced it was a face that had nothing to do with before. It was a very beautiful, neutral face. He has a white hair, and his facial features are extremely exquisite and beautiful, and there are almost no flaws, just like the most perfect creation in heaven. That kind of beauty is beyond gender, making it difficult for people to distinguish him as men or women. but. There is no reason. Everyone can notice that behind that beautiful, there is some kind of unimaginable and unimaginable malice. What you want to say. That is probably a non -human heterogeneity! That is. Although this man looks like a human, his behavior is extremely similar to humans. But it is a fundamental difference between it and humans. As if hidden under this skin, it is some kind of horror monster from the sky. Then according to the psychological terrorist valley effect. As a result, looking at the beautiful face, not only did everyone fail to raise the idea of ??appreciation, but also felt a kind of chill from the heart. "This is [Quanzhi Sage] ..." Looking at the man not far away. Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly. On the other side. He felt a terrible breath that he had never perceived. That momentum, not only exceeded the eight -tier strong of Edward, Mussa, Hayler. It is even more faintly overlooking on Augustine and the salary king! Yes. Even the strongest salary king of their own side, I am afraid that in the reign, it is not as good as this mysterious [Quanxian Sage]. And at this time. Xia En also had a general understanding of the strength of the salary king. Such as Mouza and Thunder dominated these strong men, are all eight -order secrets. Such a strong man, the number of [Seven Sea World] is extremely scarce, is already the top batch of existence, far better than the general legend. In contrast. There is no doubt that Augustine and Palace King have entered the threshold of the ninth order. It is only one step away from the so -called "climbing god". But know. [Seven Sea World] Thousands of years. It also came out of the two of their horizontal pressure first kings. Each leading to his own era, becoming the strongest of his own era. After that, there was no trace of the ninth -level secret. It can be seen that the nine -order strong. Because, being able to break through to the ninth order, not only the personal efforts of the secret passage, but also some precious opportunities that can be encountered. Even ... the recognition of the secret sea! But now the [Quanzhi Sage]. Judging from the breath alone, even above the salary king. So, will his level be nine or ... or more? Thinking of this, Xia En''s heart suddenly tightened. Honestly, until now. The true identity and purpose of this [Quanzhi Sage] are unknown. No one knows where he came from. No one knows what exactly what he did? Such a mysterious person is more elusive than those of the evil villains with clear and cruel killing. It''s like ... you can''t figure out the idea of ??a lunatic. Naturally, he cannot predict his next behavior. Sudden. Xia En suddenly wondered, secretly in his heart. "If you use my eyes, you may see through some of his secrets." Thinking about it, Xia En directly urged [Sighting the Pupil] to look at the [Quanzhi Sage]. Look at this glance. It made Xia En''s storms in his heart. In the field of vision of [Pupil of the Secret], a chaotic scene that Xia En never seen before. The whole body of [Quanxiaxian] shrouded a deep darkness. Like a sticky ink, penetrating all over his body. Countless chaos and lines are hidden in such darkness, as if they are regarded as darkness with darkness. It looks like a living body per creep and groaning. This, Chan is the first time to meet! Moreover, when he stared at those points and lines, his eyes suddenly felt a tingling. It''s as if those existence itself is a blasphemy, evil thing! But at this moment. Xia En understands the nature of those existence. They are not a specific thing, but a polymer that exists abstract. Their essence is ... The sin of human nature! Arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, overeating, lust! In everyone, they have such emotions more or less. However, learning to control yourself is the biggest difference between humans and beasts. Therefore, few people are completely controlled by these desires. Even if there are, it is often just a few "sins" at the same time. However, the man in the field of vision, the sin that was condensed around, not only had seven kinds of sins, but also the concentration of each kind was highly indeed. This feels to Xia En- [All -Knowing Sage], like a greedy monster, eats human sins! And turn it into nutrients to make themselves stronger! In this case, it reminds Charles a existence. [Different Destiny]! According to legend, [Dirty Di] is the outer **** of the palm [Dirty]. The purpose of the reason why he set off a variety of disasters in various worlds is to learn the so -called [dirty] power. When a world is on the verge of destruction, the [Dirty Land] that [Dirty Life] can be drawn is undoubtedly the most. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! This is the fundamental reason for the two floods. Although [omnipotent sages], although it is not the power of [dirty], it is the power of the same evil chaos. It is difficult to say that there is no connection between the two. one way or another. At this glance, Xia En could judge. Under the beautiful skin of [Quanzhi Sage], hidden, I am afraid that it is the purest maliciousness to humans and the most pure malicious for [Qihai World]! And at this time. [All -Knowing Sage] Turn his head and look at the Xia En below. In the eyes of those who seem to be an uninhabited eyes, a touch of surprise flashed. Immediately afterwards. He showed a chilling smile. "Your eyes are very good." "It''s better to ... dig it out for me!" Next moment. The body of [Quanzhi Sage] disappeared in place out of thin air, and when he appeared again, he had already come to Xia En. Suddenly. Xia En rose to a extreme warning, and the cold hair of the whole body was upright. The sweat came out of the forehead without controlling, and slipped coldly over the cheeks. In the face of the ninth order and higher levels, Xia En''s body almost couldn''t move. But even so. Xia En did not give up the hope of life. His heart beating sharply, and the blood of the blood in his body pushed to the extreme. The pure void secrets came out without reservation, forming armor composed of a big dark sky, blocking him and [Quanzhi Sage]. Even at the next moment. This solid armor collapsed in an instant, and it was broken into countless dark particles. But this is a very short moment that he has won the valuable vitality for Xia En. laugh! When the right hand of [Quanzhi Sage] is about to touch Xia En''s face. A hot and warm flame suddenly ignited Xia En''s body. immediately. The figure in front of [Quanzhi Sage] has changed from Xia En to the salary king. On the other side, Xia En''s body was transmitted to a safe place. The salary king out of the flame was extremely calm and could not see any emotional fluctuations. Only deep in the eyes of those eyes, the flames were burning with fierce flames that would never go out. No one can see that it is the calm before the volcanic eruption Only when his enemies died, the flame of hatred will completely calm down. Compared to the depressed anger of the salary king. [Quanxiaxian] look a lot of relaxation, and it is even leisurely and casual. It''s like ... All this in front of him is just a game for playing. Seeing the arrival of the salary king, [Quanzhi Sage] was not panicked, and a joke smile appeared on his face. "Isn''t this the king of [Dayan Kingdom]?" "It''s been thousands of years since we met last time, right?" "Talk to me like this as soon as you meet. Is this a attitude towards the rescue of the heroes?" "Don''t forget, if there is no ritual, human beings that survive in the world now are not even one percent, right?" At this time, [Quanzhi Sage] seemed to be suddenly thinking of something, and said with a smile. "Oh, right." "I almost forgot, there is still a small price to save the world." "That''s ... let you destroy your own [Da Yan Kingdom]." "But don''t you become a hero because of this? Are you not happy for this?" "Smile with a smile, what do you do with your face?" He did not hide his ridicule in his words, and his tone was extremely exaggerated, like a clowns in the circus. It''s like deliberately angry the king of salary, and ignore the consequences of this afterwards. And I can hear, [Quanxiaxian] seems to be really happy! By this time. Xia En was finally awakened. This mysterious [Quanzhi Sage] may be a downright and madman! All his actions may have no reason at all. Just ... he wants to do so! However, in the face of such a provocation, the salary king remained extremely calm, and did not lose its mind because of his words. He knows that the [Quanzhi Sage] in front of him will be a rare enemy in his life. Any impulse may lead to the failure of this battle. The salary king Shen Sheng said. "Today, it''s time for us to grievance." As soon as the words fell, the flames in his hand bombarded to [Quanxiaxian] without reservation. It''s a pity. The [Quanzhi Sage] hit by the flames was fragmented like a mirror. But his body appeared more than tens of meters away. Obviously, it was only his residual projection in place. Hearing the words of the salary king, [Quanzhi Sage] seemed to hear a very funny joke, laughed. "Turn the grudge between you and me, do you also match?" "Since everyone is present, let me show me the process of the annihilation of [Da Yan Kingdom] for them?" "Let them have knowledge, how do you lead [Da Yan Kingdom] to destroy!" "Also, the first gift I gave you." To say, [Quanzhi Sage] gently gently into a city that has become ruined not far away. Countless subtle light flowed, and the ruins below began to wash down like a waves. If you look closely, you can find it. Those light flows are actually countless small and fragmented memory fragments. Under their washing. The time of the whole memory scene began to flow backwards! More precisely, [Quanxiaxian] is artificially shaped the memory scene that exists in history. In this memory, what happened continued to trace back. Time gradually moves forward. Soon, a flood that swept throughout the world, caught the vision of everyone present. [ȫ ] As the narration, the words sounded. "On that day, the big flood came from the void of the [Extreme North]." "Rolling towards [Da Yan Guo] ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 409 【Day of the Great Flood】 Chapter 409 [The Day of the Great Flood] In [Dayan Kingdom] that restored the past. The sky seemed to be shrouded in a huge lead gray curtain, and it was heavy to the earth. The wind was raging among the heavens and the earth, like a anger beast, whistling across. Boom Rondon - With the deafening loud noise. A touch of deep blue, like the off -the -wild horses, approach from far away. Xia En and the secrets present, the pupils shrank. It was a tall waves, with the terrible power of the mountains and the sea, rolling towards them. There are white foam on the cusp, like the devil''s teeth, flashed with cold light. Even if everyone has lived on the Qihai for a long time, I have seen countless winds and waves. But the big floods in front of them are terrible than every storm they experience. This is a terrible disaster that is enough to destroy the entire world! Even if Xia En had guessing as much as possible, the disaster was a terrible scene of the disaster. But when it really came to front. Xia En found that he still underestimated the disaster of all human beings. at this time. As the flood approached. The earth began to tremble, as if overwhelming. Immediately afterwards, the animals on the [Extreme North] began to flee around in this disaster. The birds flew in horror in the sky, making a scream. The countless beasts left from the nest acupoint, and panicked towards the city of the flood -[Dan Yan Kingdom] city. Soon, the flood was getting closer. The eyes of everyone. It is a towering water wall with dozens of floors height, wrapped in sediment, stones and various debris, surging. Wherever the flood is going, everything is swallowed ruthlessly. The people in the city looked at the scene in the distance, and their faces were full of panic and anxiety. The children hug their parents tightly to get some sense of security. However, what is incredible. In the face of such a disaster, the civilians of [Da Yan Kingdom] were panicked, but none of them were completely scared. No one screamed in horror. No one fled regardless of everything. Obviously, they probably knew the arrival of this disaster in advance. Moreover, these people have full confidence in their own kings. Seeing this scene, Xia En and others could not help but hold their breath, shocked the scene in front of them. "This is ... Destroy the flood!" But at this moment. [ȫ ] The words never come from. Just like the narration of the theater. "The terrible flood is swallowing all things in the world." "There is nothing to stop it from moving forward." "However, the great and wise salary king had expected the arrival of this day, so I was ready in advance ..." Beyond everyone. The scene where the location of the Dayan Palace was changed, and what happened in history. In the palace. The salary king in history stood at a high place, overlooking the flood in the distance, his eyes were serious and serious. He sighed. "Finally on this day." The salary king ordered the [Black Inflammation Pedestrian] around him. "That''s now, start the ritual!" The words fall. A huge incredible ritual, in the [Dayan Kingdom], or in other words, the entire [Extreme North Land] opens the mighty opening. Just as the [Quanzhi Sage] said in the mouth. The salary king has long known the arrival of the flood of the world and prepared for at least decades. And this ritual at this time. It is the product of the power of the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. Therefore, once it starts, it shows an extremely exaggerated power. Boom Rondon - The vibration of the earth is becoming more severe. Xia En can feel it. A huge ice -cold secret force is transmitted to every corner and branch of this ritual through some special way. Through invisible channels. One node after another is lit one by one. This also represents the complete opening of the entire large formation. Then. Extremely incredible things happened! A dazzling Blu -ray crossed the sky. Immediately afterwards, the whole world fell into a weird silence. All the floods that are in contact with Blu -ray are fixed in an incredible gesture. On the cusp, half of the water splashed into half, and was instantly solidified, maintaining the most impactful shape. The sharp ice crystal flashed with cold light. And soon, such a cold secret force spread from the corner of the flood to all the water bodies. Frozen countless waves into ice crystal forests. This power, rather than frozen, is more like a seal! The flooding foam, which was originally wrapped in the wind, became an ice droplet that was suspended in the air at this moment. Deeply, reflecting strange and charming light. The surrounding air was cold, and each breathing seemed to be inhaling ice. A vast glacier appeared in front of everyone out of thin air. [Da Yan Kingdom] The people in the city looked at the floods that stopped not far away, and the joy of the rest of the life appeared in the eyes. After a short quiet. There was a burst of excitement in the crowd. "The king is successful!" "We survive!" "We prevented this terrible disaster, we saved the whole world!" Men and women hug together and cry with joy. The joyful shouts gathered together. Make the whole city trembling slightly and immersed in the emotion of joy. They are not difficult to understand. Whoever survives such a disaster will be glad from the heart. Not to mention. This disaster may have affected the entire world and became a veritable disaster. But now. It was stopped and seal by the salary king. How can such great achievements not allow the people and the honor of [Da Yan Kingdom]? Look at this scene. Even the people who did not belong to this memory and later generations could not help but feel strong. For the first time in history, the flood of the world was actually printed by the salary king? at the same time. Xia En was very clear. Behind this seemingly simple process is actually the salary king and countless people for decades. It''s like one minute on the stage, ten years off the stage. The manpower, material resources, energy, and those painful sacrifices that are spent, only a few people can know. only. Xia En is more clear. The whole thing is far from the end. Otherwise, there will be no seven -sea world that is subsequently drowned by the sea. There will be no tragedy of the salary king ignited the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. Sure enough. Soon, the sound of [Quanzhi Sage] sounded again like a drama. It''s just this time. His voice brought unobstructed ridicule and pride. "However." "The young salary king did not expect that all his actions were just developing according to the established script." "And he is just the protagonist of this grand tragedy!" "From the beginning, that so -called ritual is a complete trap!" The words have just fallen. The cold wind whistled from the glaciers outside the city. In the direction of the cold wind, it was just getting rid of the [Dan Yan Kingdom] that was destroyed by the flood. At first, there was a thin layer of mist in the air. Immediately afterwards, the mist spread quickly, where the temperature dropped sharply. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Bingjing spreads around at a speed visible to the naked eye. The people of [Da Yan Kingdom] looked at the scene in surprise, and the exhaled heat instantly became white frost and fog. "What is going on?" "What happened?" "Okay ... so cold ..." [Extreme North] It was originally a place for bitter cold. It is only because of the flames of the salary king and the steam technology in the city, so that the people no longer need to endure the coldness of the cold. But now, the coldness that swept comes, but the coldest period of impression of the most impressed. Immediately afterwards. Among the towns closest to the edge of the city, several [Dan Yan Kingdom] Zumin was quickly frozen by this cold wind. Their pauses paused, as if they were pressed on the pause keys. Other people, the expression fixed in the cold wind. The look in the eyes was too late to change, and was swallowed by the cold silence. In the air, the birds were frozen in the flying, maintaining the posture of the wings, as if inlaid in the transparent ice. From several civilians, to a whole town, they all turned into such frozen ice sculptures. Their gaze was also fixed at the moment they looked at the distance. And such a frozen town, at the time, at the time, the scene that Xia En saw under the cold sea was generally the same. In the past and the future, I use such memory scenes to connect. Da Yan Royal Palace. The salary king in memory quickly realized the abnormality of the situation, and his expression suddenly became extremely dignified. "This is" Soon, there were [Black Yan Walker] came to report. "Not good, king!" "The power of the ritual has begun to get out of control." "It not only freezes the flood, but also to put the entire [Da Yan Kingdom] into the forever freezing!" "And, even the researchers at the institute can stop that ritual." Hearing these words, the salary king in memory changed, but he still tried to keep calm. "That ritual really has a problem!" "Start the spare plan, send all the [Black Flamers], and let the people hide in the shelter as soon as possible!" "Yes, king!" After getting the command. All [Black Yan Pedestrian] came out of the nest and rushed towards each of [Dan Yan Kingdom]. The salary king himself also turned into a burning fireball, rushing towards the frontiers of [Da Yan Kingdom], that is, the direction of the cold wave. At this time, the words of [Quanzhi Sage] sounded again. "Next, it''s all unrelated pictures." "I''m too lazy to explain for you." "In short, the salary king failed to get rid of his established destiny, and he could not stop ... [Da Yan Guo] was frozen by the rituals he set by himself!" [ȫ ] It seems that the next picture is optional. So, with his words sounded. The memory scene in front of everyone changes rapidly like a sudden accelerated image. In the luminous light and shadow. Only see that the salary king seems to use his flames again and again to resist the cold wave. But all this is just futile. He could not stop the cold from spreading towards the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. After all, no matter how strong the salary king is, after all, it is just a person. The rituals he set up were all over the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. When the seal was destroyed the flood, such rituals naturally played a wonderful effect. When it became a thing that frozen [Dan Yan Kingdom], the lethality it could cause was it blocked by a person? Wait until the fast advance in memory scene stops. It appeared in the eyes of everyone. It is a completely frozen [Dayan Kingdom]. The whole city is silent, without the hustle and bustle of the past, and only frozen loneliness and despair, as if the end of the world has come. The salary stood lonely in the center of the city, exuding the hot flames, but could not disperse this bone cold. The expression on his face was even more unprecedented, as if he had lost all hope. For him, time seemed to have lost its meaning, every minute and every second were suffering. But obviously. The pain of the salary king did not end. [ȫ ȫ ] The ironic laughter sounds again. "Look, this is the hero who saved the world, the king of people praised!" "As a result, he didn''t even guard his country." "However, what he wants to face next is the real despair." Next moment. Not far around the salary king. A civilian who was frozen into ice sculptures suddenly changed strange changes. His frozen flesh quickly transformed into countless small ice crystals, and then the facial features on his face began to disappear, turning into a smooth ice crystal. Click ... click ... This ice sculpture moved again. But it is a way that the salary king never wants to see. In a blink of an eye. It has become the ice crystal monster that Xia En has seen, [Extreme North]! The salary king in memory suddenly shrank. Just a short moment. He saw the dirty secrets carried on this monster, as well as some weird dishonesty The words spit out from the mouth of the ice crystal monsters are even more lost in the salary king. "king" "So cold ... I''m so cold ..." "Wang ... Come and save me ..." Perhaps it is because of the pollution. This ice crystal monster also maintains the sense of human reason and can speak relatively clear words. But this is the case, the more it is unacceptable, While making such a mourning, it walked towards the salary king. Such a scene almost clicked out the last heart of the salary king. And then. It is the second and third ... The terrible dirty secrets are passed on to [Da Yan Kingdom] through the cold ice crystal as the medium. Just then. The figure of [omnipotomant] appeared in front of the salary king. This is not the [Quanzhi Sage] of later generations. Instead of the history of that year, he had done such a thing. Looking at the despair on the face of the salary. [All -knowledge sage] The beautiful face showed an extremely evil and satisfactory smile. "[Da Yan] king!" "What I want to see is your expression like this ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 410 Let me end all of this Chapter 410, I will end all of this "[ ȫ ] ..." Looking at the man who came from where he came from, the salary king in this memory did not launch a fierce attack on him like him later. And just glanced at him confused and empty, as if he had disappeared. At this moment, the salary king. It is very similar to Augustine that lost the fleet that year. Both kings have lost their most important and cherished things. Moreover, such heavy casualties also appeared because of their decisions and behaviors. even The situation of the salary is even more miserable. Augustine only lost his own black sail fleet, but his [Pirate Principality] still existed, and there were twelve apostles that followed him. But the now -paying king is even the entire country has fallen into eternal ice. It can be said that he has lost everything! So it is like the original Augustine. Mainness is greater than death. It is the most realistic portrayal of the salary king now. For him, what about the success of the revenge from [Quanzhi Sage]? [Dayan Kingdom] will not be restored to the original appearance. His people could not die. And at this time. Xia En, who was watching all this, realized a problem. The current salary king has fallen into a very similar situation as Augustine. Is this itself ... really a coincidence? Shan vaguely remembers. At that time, after Augustine defeated, the enemy clearly killed him as soon as possible. But the other party did not do so, but gave Augustine a chance again and again, until it completely defeated his confidence. In the end, he returned to [Pirates Principality] at any time. This behavior is like playing with the pirate king of Augustine, and he is happy with his misery and despair. At this moment, just like the time. The salary king is also played between the palms of the stocks. [Quanxiaxian] did not directly kill the salary king, but let the living salary king bear long regrets. There are too many similarities between the two. So that Xia En is hard to think deeper. I want to come now. Augustine challenged [Deluctance], there are many doubts in itself. As a outer god, how can you appear in [Seven Sea World]? Still found His position by Augustine? Still saying. That is just a projection of [Dirty Destiny]. There is also a possibility. The existence of Augustine challenged is actually not [Delicate], but a person who disguised as it. For example ... The [Quanzhi Sage] in front of you? This guess is a bit incredible at first glance, which is a bit ridiculous. But combining all the information at the moment is a very reasonable speculation. Just then. [Quanxian Sage] But he said with a devil -like confusion. "The king of [Da Yan Kingdom], in fact, your people did not die, but retained some vitality." "You ... do you want to save them?" Hearing this, the salary king''s eyes suddenly burned a faint light. But soon, the light light was dim. Although the salary king was desperate, he did not completely lose his mind. He is very clear that the [Quanzhi Sage] in front of him is the culprit that leads to [Da Yan Kingdom]. The words he said at this time would never be a good reminder. And it is more likely to be a larger trap. but. Even if the salary king did not ask questions, [Quanzhi Sage] still said. "Let me tell you." "The method of rescue your people is very simple." "That''s ..." "Burn your ritual you set with your flame." "At that time, the power of flames will be transmitted to [Danyan Kingdom] through rituals to liberate them from the frozen state." "How is it, is it very simple?" Hearing the words, the eyes of the salary king had a little fluctuation again. He raised his head and asked hoarsely. "So, what is the price?" [ȫ ] Hehe smiled: "Good question." He did not hide and answered directly. "The price is simple, that is ..." "You have a hard -to -seal flood, and there will be a part of it will break out." "Sweeps other parts of the world, drowns those kingdoms and the mainland." [ȫ ] Staring at the salary king, a exaggerated and twisted arc was pulled at the corner of the mouth, and the sound was unspeakable and evil. "[[Dayan Kingdom] Zimin, the life of the innocent people in the world ..." "You, which side will you choose?" "I look forward to this." [Quanzhi Sage] While talking, he paced around the salary king. Like a poisonous spider with a large network. What he said in his mouth was even more attentive. "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to remind you." "You don''t have much time to hesitate." "As long as it is more than half an hour, your people will be completely invaded by [Dirty Secrets]." "It can no longer become the original appearance." Then, [Quanzhi Sage] said he said insidiously. "You should have seen it?" "After being contaminated by [Dirty Secrets], their physical body will maintain this state permanently without rotting or disappearing." "And those souls in the body are actually sober." "That is to say." "They are now watching what you do." "If you don''t save them." "Your people will be kept in such distorted and cold bodies, and you will never be liberated." "Until the end of time!" These words made the original salary king set off a fierce wave again. On the one hand, it is the [Dayan Kingdom] that is trapped in frozen and transformed into a dirty monster. On the other side, he has made him for decades of goals. It is also the life of countless innocent people in the world. On both sides of the day, no matter which one is, there is a lot of weight, so that people cannot abandon the other party. And now. The salary king was forced to choose one from the two, and his depressed mood at this time can be imagined. He asked hoarsely: "Why do you do this?" [ȫ ] Answer with a smile. "I have already said, I just want to see your amazing genius, which is completely desperate." "Whenever you show such expressions, I am intoxicated like drinking honey wine." The salary king said coldly: "You are really a downright lunatic!" [ȫ ] Laughing again: "Thank you for the puzzle." "Then how do you choose now?" The salary king''s brows were locked, and his eyes were full of pain and struggle. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was swallowed by endless silence. The salary king looked around. Those who turned into an ice sculpture [Dayan Kingdom] as if they were watching him through the frozen ice layer. That look like a sharp acupuncture, stabbing Wang Rusang on his back. It was like a layer of shackles that trapped him tightly. But gradually. The eyes of the salary gradually became firm. "Since all this is because of me, it should also end all of this from me." After that, the salary king turned and walked towards the corner of the city. Not long. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! The hot and bright flames burned in the city and quickly spread towards the entire [Da Yan Kingdom]. The firm ice shrouded in the entire city also began to melt rapidly. Seeing this scene. The [Quanzhi Sage] in history suddenly laughed. "Hey! He believed it! He believed it!" "He really thought those civilians could still be restored to the original?!" "No, salary king, you can''t save anything!" I saw that the [Dayan Kingdom] from the ice layer, although the original appearance was temporarily restored. However, the [Dirty Secrets] in the ice have completely penetrated into their bodies and regardless of their flesh. Blink. The body of several civilians suddenly changed suddenly Some have countless white long hair. Some bones make a creepy "click" sound, like a pair of invisible giant hands arbitrarily distorted, which twists into another strange attitude. In addition, even the slippery tentacles spread, weird creeping. They rammed across the streets of the town, destroyed wildly, and screamed in the non -human roar. The sound seemed to come from the abyss of hell, making the people hearing cold. but. The salary seemed to have expected this situation long ago. He seemed to know that the people who were infected by [Dirty Secrets] could not recover into the original appearance. And what he has done now is to liberate them from this torture. This is also the fire that burned the [Da Yan Kingdom] afterwards. But suddenly. Xia En thought of another thing. In the previous memory scene, the people of [Da Yan Kingdom] maintained the posture that humans should have, and did not transform into such dirty creatures. I want to come now. This is most likely because they lose their memory as a monster. Or. In the cognition of [Da Yan Kingdom], their state is normal and has not mutated. Therefore, the memory presented is the previous look. at this time. [ȫ ] Showing may be the truth of history. As the flames of the salary were burning and boiling, it spread towards the entire country. [Da Yan Kingdom] outside. The big flood, which was originally imprisoned by Jianbing, began to loosen gradually. The hot fire light fiercely collided with the ice layer. Suddenly, the entire world was lit up by this sudden conflict, and the dazzling fire was intertwined with the cold blue light. The outbreak of dazzling light and shadow effects. Under the baking of the fire, the ice layer made a cracking sound of "crackling". More and more water bodies recovered the flowing attitude and rolled towards the distance. Seeing this, many legendary strong men dumbly lost their voice. They all understand what this scene means. In order to let his people be relieved, the salary king reappeared the flood that had been sealed. - This is exactly the same as Xia En''s conjecture! And this leads to [Seven Sea World] to be submerged by the sea. The countless kingdom and creatures died in the disaster. It also allowed the entire world to enter the post -flood age. "Yes, this is the truth of the matter." [All -known sage] The harsh laughter rang. "Do you think the salary king is the son of heaven? "Hahahaha, it is simply a big gem!" "Wrong! You''re wrong!" "This man is actually a tadpole who slaughtered 70 % of the population in the world." "The sin he committed is much more than me." "And the purpose of his doing this is just to bury his own country!" Although the words of [Quanzhi Sage] stole the concept, making the salary king from the victim. But there was a saying that he did not say wrong. If the salary king does not solve the part of the seal, then the entire world may not be drowned by the flood, and it will not become what it is now. One time. Many legendary strong people look a little complicated to look at the salary king. And this. The salary king did not deny or justify, but said directly. "This is indeed a crime I committed, but I don''t regret it." "If you give me another chance, I will still do this." "Besides, [Quanzhi Sage], there are the back hands you left in that ritual." "Even if I don''t do this, I''m afraid you will set off this flood that swept the entire world?" Seeing the calm look of the salary king. [All -known sage] I feel very boring. "Unexpectedly, until now you can still pretend to be indifferent." "It seems that this thousand years have made you grow a lot." "But what about this next?" With [Quanxiaxian], gently gently. The memory scene in front of the crowd started fast progress again. And the last pause scene. It was the picture of the entire [Dayan Kingdom] burned into a scorched earth. Obviously. This should be the scene after their previous memory scene. But because of the intervention of Edward, Xia En and others, the entire scene has undergone unpredictable changes. I saw, in the [Dan Yan Kingdom] burned. Embers, scorched ruins and corpses that have not yet extinguished. The salary king was sitting alone in the collapsed palace, like a lonely sculpture. It''s like a silent tombstone. At the same time. The souls located in [Da Yan Kingdom] gradually emerged from the ruins. They wrapped in resentment, anger, unwillingness, and gathered together, forming a powerful and weird force. Over the ruins of [Dayan Kingdom], these residual souls are intertwined and entangled with each other, forming a huge, rolling soul vortex. In the vortex, all kinds of light flickered, and there are some indescribable colors. They collided and blended with each other, making a low roar. The narration of [Quanxiaxian Sage] sounded. "It was born in the ruins of [Da Yan Kingdom]. It is an unprecedented terrible undead." "But when it was first born, it was still very weak." "The salary king can completely destroy it now, but he did not do it ..." (This chapter is finished) Chapter 411 [Acts of great sin! . Chapter 411 [Acts of Great Sin! . In the narration of [Quanzhi Sage]. The salary king looked at the undead [Da Yan] born in front of him, showing a very complicated look. on the one hand. He knew that over time, the undead [Da Yan] would become more and more terrible and stronger. The best time to destroy it is now. But on the other hand. The undead in front of me is the last wreckage of [Da Yan Kingdom] in this world. Eliminating it is equivalent to thoroughly erase the traces left by [Da Yan Kingdom]. This is undoubtedly another harm for the salary king who has already burned [Da Yan Kingdom]. And at this time. The [Quanxian Sage] in history appeared again beside the salary king again. "The king of [Da Yan Kingdom], oh no, maybe it should be called you ... the king of the country?" "Don''t you do it yet?" "Let the undead continue to absorb the residual soul. In the end, I am afraid that there will be a very terrible existence?" "Maybe, it will roll a **** storm for this world." "Do you just look at it like this?" Wang Wang glanced at him coldly. "What do I want to make, have nothing to do with you." "hehe" [All -Knowing Sage] Smiling, full of compassion in his eyes. "It seems that you don''t understand anything now." Just then. A figure wearing a black robe and carrying a crystal coffin behind him, slowly coming from the [Dayan Kingdom] that has become ruined. And see this figure. Xia En''s heart jumped sharply. Of course, he would not admit his mistakes. This black robe man who carried [Eternal Coffin] was Laila! The moment I saw Lela. A little ashamed appeared on the face of the salary. To him. Laila not only informed the arrival of his flood in advance, but also lent him the treasure of [Eternal Coffin], and even the conspiracy of [Quanzhi Sage] was expected in advance. Can finally. I still failed to completely stop the advent of the Da flood, and it hurt [Da Yan Kingdom] to fall into the moment. At this time, Lala seemed to ignore the [Quanzhi Sage] aside, and said to the salary king directly. "Sure enough, even you failed." "In other words, you just can''t be completely successful." "However, this is not your fault." "Everything is just because ... we are in a weaving fate." "Even if you make other choices, you can''t get rid of the tragedy now." "As long as we are still in this world, it is impossible to break away from such a fan cage." Hearing these words, the salary king thought about it. "In other words, it is possible to be out of this world ..." Suddenly, the salary king noticed the breath of Laila, and suddenly realized something. "etc" "Could it be that you have traded with that existence?" "But do that, you will ..." Laila nodded. "Just like you, I have no choice." "This is the only way that may get rid of the established fate." Hearing the dialogue between the two. Most of the people present are full of doubts. Who is this sudden black robe? Why did the salary king talk to it with this attitude? Also, what does the existence in their mouth mean? Don''t say that it is a common legend, even Chan feels a little surprised. It is not difficult to hear from the words of the king. Laila seemed to have traded a strong existence. And this transaction may determine the future of this world? This kind of information has been heard for the first time. at this time. In the history of [Quanzhi Sage], when he saw Laila dare to ignore herself, he couldn''t help but sneer. "You are the elves that spread the prophecy on the mainland?" "I have heard of your business." "I also have to thank you for passing the prophecy and panic to other kingdoms in the world, so there is no need to visit one by one." However, what makes [Quanxiaxian] does not expect. After he spoke, Laila still didn''t look at him even at a glance. It''s like he is just a group of air. In this regard, the [Quanxiaxian] appeared strongly emotional fluctuations than before, and even a little bit disappointed. "Actually dare to pretend to be invisible?" "You are not afraid, I killed you here?" But no matter what [Quanzhi Sage] said, Laila always ignored his existence and continued to tell the salary king. "By the way, I have some words to tell you next." "You must keep in mind in your mind." "Even if you lose other memories, don''t forget these words." Laila''s voice has just fallen. The memory picture in the eyes of everyone suddenly changed into described changes. The scene in front of me suddenly became blurred, as if covering a layer of hazy mist. The clear outline of Laila and the salary king became looming. As for their voices, it seemed to come from far away, becoming far and faint. Can''t hear clearly anyway. What you want to say. It''s like this memory, which was hit with a mosaic, making it unable to spy on others. Obviously. It is not others who really can''t see this memory. It is the [Quanzhi Sage] who claims to be omnipotent! Because he failed to spy on the content of the two. Therefore, the memory of Xia En and others will appear such a disability and gap. Seeing this scene. Xia En and others immediately responded. The so -called [Quanxiaxian] cannot be the real "omnidirectional." There are always some power that can hide his eyes. On the side. The [Quanzhi wise man] who couldn''t hear the content of the two people finally appeared on the face. How much did Xia En guessed the reason why Laila did? He has already seen. This [Quanxiaxian] is an obvious performing personality. He is not afraid of the jealousy, hatred, and anger of others. - Or, that is the purpose he wants to achieve. He attempted to use exaggerated performances to make others have a strong emotion to him, so as to draw on the power of sin. And this. Laila''s response method is ... Ignore! Ignore his performance and behavior, but it will make it difficult to accept [Quanxiaxian]. It''s like he carefully planned a grand performance, but in the end, no one appreciated, and naturally it would make him angry. But at this time. Later generations of [Quanzhi Sage] did not feel embarrassed, just said. "At that time, I was really angry because of such a trick." "But if you want to come now, it''s not a big deal at all." "No matter what they say, it is impossible to get rid of my control." "And, the focus of the matter is not this." "Guess, what happened to the salary king after that?" Speaking. The vague memory scene has become clear. Moreover, Laila, who had previously stood by the salary king, and the [eternal coffin] around her, were all disappeared. At this point. Although the look of the salary king still has a touch of grief and sadness, there is a clear light in her eyes. This means that now he has a clear goal. Even if the final result is still unknown, at least, he has a direction. immediately. The salary king looked at [Da Yan], which was gathered not far away. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! In this undead, countless souls are ups and downs. Their faces were painful and embarrassed, their bodies were dark, their mouths were big, and they roared silently. These residual souls entangled and collided with each other, forming a huge, chaotic vortex, and constantly surging. It seems that it will break the restraint at any time and spread to the surroundings. Looking at such a scene, there was no fear in the eyes of the salary king. That''s all the people he cherish! How could he feel afraid? Immediately afterwards, the salary king stretched out his hand towards [Da Yan]. Those dead souls began to subconsciously bare his flesh. at the same time. The salary king''s viscous blood is also infiltrating the interior of [Da Yan], conveying his strength and will. This is both a seal and a unique ritual. "Sorry, I have eaten again." "Black inflammation, I can''t get you into the eternal sleep." "I ... need your help!" "After thousands of years, please wake up and find me!" "Together with me, save this world!" With the whisper of the salary king, among the chaotic [Da Yan]. The souls of the black inflammation walkers seemed to be inspired by the meditation, and lowered their heads towards the salary king, as if expressing their own surrender. Even if they are dead, their souls still have awe and loyalty to the salary king. Later. The breath of [Da Yan] gradually subsided, and sank under the glacier, so that it was dormant and sleepy. After thousands of years, [Da Yan] wake up with the black inflammation walker. That''s what happened later. In this way, Xia En and Jane''s guess on the Black Yan walker finally confirmed. Those black inflammatory walkers who live now are actually just the dead soul of the wake -up of the salary king. What surprises people is. Facing the actions of the salary king, there is no reaction to [Quanzhi Sage]. Just watched the salary king finished it. But it is obvious. [Quanxiaxian] Doing this is not because of sympathy or humanitarian care. But just because ... In his opinion, no matter how hard the king has made, it is futile. The struggle and struggle of the salary king are just adding a little fun to this game. Even [Quanzhi Sage] will show what happened in these history for Xia En and others at this time, and it is because of the same mentality. He laughed towards everyone. "Look, this [Dayan Kingdom] king not only does not have the most suitable time to eliminate the neck of [Da Yan]." "Also control your subordinates'' residual souls to prevent them from getting rest." "How are this strict and cruel atrocities!" "Last last ..." "This king finally realized who his enemies were, and launched a challenge to him." "However, all this is just futile." [ȫ ] The words fell. The salary king in memory immediately bombarded the [Quanxian Sage] beside him. The salary king was the nine -order strong in the [Seven Sea World]. Right now is hate. The power is naturally strange. The bear -bear fire danced in the air, like an angry fire dragon, whistling towards the [Quanzhi Sage] on the opposite side. "Huh, just use your flames, do you want to compete with me?" [ȫ ] Haha laughed: "It''s simply self -impatient!" He did not hide or flash, and raised his hand, and a black mist spman instantly, devouring the flame of the salary king. Chan''s pupil suddenly shrinks. He saw that in those fog, it also contained pure malice and sin, as if it was a collection of seven sins. Obviously. [Quanxiaxian] not only can swallow human sin, but also use it as a means of fighting. The salary king did not depend on, and launched a fierce attack again and again. However. No matter how fast his flames and the power of burning, but when it falls on [Quanzhi Sage], he will be swallowed by the weird mist. "Come on, a little angry, hate me a little bit more!" [ȫ ] Looking at the expression of the salary king, it showed a very satisfactory smile. It''s like ... In his eyes, the salary king was a sweet and full fruit, and finally went to maturity today. The salary king in this memory may not be seen. But at this time, everyone on the Seven Sea was aware of it. In this battle. [ȫ ] It seems to deliberately provoke the emotions of the salary king, and draws on the power in those "resentment" and "anger". This is exactly the same as the situation observed by Xia En before using the "Pupil of the Secret". What makes everyone more worried is. In this battle, the salary king actually fell into the wind! He launched an attack again and again, and was defeated again and again. Weiyan''s body gradually became incomplete, and some injuries were too late to cure, and it became more serious. His blood was almost all over the ruins, and the flesh and blood fragments collapsed everywhere. The battlefields of the two came from [Da Yan Kingdom] to the ice. finally. After a suffocating time. The salary king fell. But even so, [Quanzhi Sage] still has not killed him. Instead, the wasting body of the salary king sinks into the ice sea, until it sinks into the deepest floor. After reading this memory, Yaqu is silent in the field. The strength of [Quanxiaxian] exceeds all their expectations. Even the salary king is not his opponent, who else can defeat him? Just then. Later generations of [Quanzhi Sage] mocked the salary king. "Don''t you understand yet?" "In front of me, you are just a clown in this absurd farce, a poor doll who has been fiddled with fate!" "The reason why I let you go, just want to make this game more interesting." Suddenly, Xia En said. "You ... are the apostles of [Dian Di]?!" [Quanxian Sage] Turning his head and glanced at him: "Your eyes are really interesting." "To this day, I don''t need to hide it anymore." "Yes, I am the **** of [Dianzhi]." "My real name is ... [big crime]!" (This chapter is finished) Chapter 412 [Promotion legend! . Chapter 412 [Promotion Legend! . [Dirty Disciples] Honestly, Xia En is no stranger to such existence. At the time, when the [God''s Wrath] incident occurred on the [Emerald Island], Xia En had encountered the existence of self -proclaimed [Dirty Acts]. At that time, Xia En and Yan Yan successfully defeated it after experiencing difficult battles. However, the [Dirty Apostles] at that time did not seem to be His body. More like the other party''s projection and avatar on the [Qihai World]. Moreover, there is some obvious difference between He and the [big crime apostle] in front of him. Obviously. [Filial Destiny] [Dirty Apostles] under his hands are not just one! And the [Apostle of the Great Sin] in front of him is a [Dirty Apostle] who personally entered [Seven Sea World]! His purpose is obvious, to help [Dianzhi] and harvest the power of the [Seven Sea World]. Think about it. [Filial Destiny] Taking the power of dirty power for food. The [Acts of the Great Sin] is based on human sin. The two themselves have a certain relationship. And when [Di Di] set off a big flood in [Seven Sea World]. In addition to the power of messyness, the desire and instinct of human nature will also be in a state of extreme excitement. It happens to be absorbed by both of them. Think deeper. [Apostle of the Great Sin] The purpose of establishing the [Truth Council] may not be simply. The most outstanding scientists and geniuses on the Seven Seven Sea may achieve the evil purpose of [the big crime apostle] in the subtle way. [Truth Council] The reason why the later atmosphere becomes so extreme, even to the point of crazy. It is likely to be related to this [big crime apostle]. but. Even if it is a member of the Truth Council, it is very likely that I do not know the true identity of [Quanxiaxian]. so. When they learned that they would stop the Seven Sea Federation from eliminating [Da Yan], there would be so many [Truth Council] members expressed their objections. The owner in the [String Law Puppet] was also the [big crime apostle]. This uses the way similar to spiritual control to change the thinking of those [Truth] members. As a result, the only sober people in the [Truth Council]. Either, it is cleared directly in the physical sense. Either, he was beaten with ideological steel prints and became the accomplice of [Apostle of the Great Sinful Apostles]. It is different from those who have exposed to [Dirty Apostles] in advance. Most of the legends present have never heard of this existence. but. They all learned from the salary king''s mouth that [Dian Di], the outer god, also knew that He was the culprit of this flood. The [Quanzhi Sage] at the moment is actually the apostle of this outsider. Or, dependents? And, He has been dormant for at least thousands of years in [Seven Sea World]. Such facts will undoubtedly have a huge impact. Looking at the many legendary shocking eyes, [the big crime apostle] appeared on the face with an extremely intoxicating look. "Yes, that''s it." "No matter how many times I feel, your shock, anger and fear always make me want to stop ..." "The [Truth Council] that you hate and fear was founded by me." "The plan for taboos and copying the strong in history is also made by me." "I gave that weird ritual, [Da Yan Kingdom] was destroyed by me." "By the way." "Even the targets of Augustine''s challenges were not real [Divine Destiny], but me who carried His power!" Having said that, the [Apostle of the Great Sin] even showed a regret. "Unfortunately, before I reveal this truth to Augustine, he is dead." "It is regrettable to see him showing a shocking expression again." This series of terrifying truths made the people in the field again. A legendary strong could not help asking. "What is your purpose of doing these things?" "Purpose?" [The Apostle of the Great Sin] Slightly missed his head, and asked with some doubts. "Do you need these things?" "This is just because I want to do this." "Even if there is no order from my master, I will do this." He paused and continued. "What you want to say." "That''s ... Whenever I see the so -called strong and geniuses, I constantly struggle in front of me, showing the ugly state of despair and fear." "I feel physically and mentally unable to extricate myself!" "This kind of play with others, especially those who are extraordinary, give them the feeling of hope to make them completely desperate, it is really wonderful." Speaking, the corner of the [The Apostle of the Great Sin], once again outlined a distorted and exaggerated smile. Everyone can see. His words are not lies, but enjoying this process sincerely. Hearing these words. In the hearts of everyone present, a strong sense of absurdity was given. They felt a pure maliciousness from the words of [Acts of the Great Sin]. That is no reason to treat all human beings and the entire world. In those myths and legends, the natural evil devil is probably that. There is no doubt. The man in front of him is a downright lunatic! His soul may have been broken one day in the past, thus becoming now. and. It was such a lunatic who actually planned [Seven Sea World] several disasters. Even Augustine and the salary king were played between applause! Such facts will inevitably make it difficult for everyone to accept. And at this time. [Acts of the Great Sin] Pouring all the truth of this truth. Xia En was unexpectedly understood. He used to be quite strange about one thing. That is-- In some movies, novels, or TV series, the villain was obviously in an absolute advantage, but he refused to kill all the protagonist group as soon as possible. Instead, he took the initiative to the protagonist group, and the journey of his own way. Or, the whole conspiracy plan. The waste of this gave the protagonist''s chance to defeat. There is also a very classic phenomenon. It is called a villain died in a lot of words. But Xia En wants to come now. In addition to the motivation of the screenwriter explaining the villain, this phenomenon also has a more important reason. That is, the villain itself also needs to use this way to vent its emotions! They worked hard for decades for a certain goal, and naturally they needed "audiences" to witness their last success. Otherwise. What is the difference between Jinyi Night Walk? There is no doubt. Those protagonists who do against themselves and try to hinder themselves are the best goals. These deaths can not only satisfy the villain''s desire, and reveal the secrets of buried in their hearts for so many years. No need to worry about the news leaked. and. They were anger, fear, and shock when they learned the truth. It will also become the success of the villain''s great success, making the taste of this victory more wonderful. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] At this time, the mentality is similar to it. However, the slightly different is. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] The desire is the feeling of teasing the salary king. The reason why he dare to do this is naturally because he has the absolute advantage. Because the [Apostle of the Great Sin] is the existence of [Seven Sea World]. Therefore, his true strength is difficult to measure with the standard of [Seven Sea World]. However, from history, it is not difficult to see the defeat of Augustine and the salary king. The rank of [big crime apostle] is at least above the ninth level! Think of this. Xia En''s mood suddenly fell into the valley. No matter how crazy and abnormal the [Apostle of the Great Sin]. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! Power, after all, is the fundamental of a secret passion. As long as he has the power of the entire seven sea, many legends present can not shatter his conspiracy. Just then. The gaze of [The Apostle of the Great Sin], looking around the people present, showing a distorted smile again. "You might as well guess, what should I do next?" Speaking, [the apostle of the big sin] extended his hand forward. The [Dayan] below immediately burned a dark flame. At first, it was just a little scattered star fire. But soon, the dark fire began to spread to [Da Yan]. Where the dark flames go, the memory scene of [Da Yan] becomes fragmented, and gradually reveals the scene outside of [Da Yan]. At the same time, the countless undead in [Da Yan] was also swallowed and assimilated by the dark fire. A residual body began to decompose in the flame and turn into its nutrients. And under such a dark fire. Everyone saw it. [Da Yan], the glacier on the [Extreme North] has gradually melted! Glacier is constantly turning into seawater and pouring into the ice sea. From the trickle, quickly evolved into the river of Tao Tao, making the nearby seawater violent surging. Seeing this scene, everyone present changed his face. They realized the intention of [Acts of the Great Sin]. He actually wanted to control the power of [Da Yan], ignite the glacier of [Extreme North], and completely liberated a part of the big flood that the salary king had sealed. As a result, the advent of the second disaster! at the same time. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] Laughing wildly. "The last node you are looking for is either someone else or me!" "Next, I will let you watch the world be drowned again by the sea again." "Finally, let you die completely in despair!" "If you want to stop this second time, come and try to kill me." " - If you can do it." The words have just fallen. The salary king turned into a whistling flame, and went towards the [Acts of the Great Sin]. Not only him, all the legendary strong men present also made his real killing tricks. Musa pushed forward. A dazzling light was sprayed out of his palm. Where the light is through, the darkness is quickly melted like ice and snow. The light column contains endless sacred power, as if it can purify all evils in the world, falling on the body of [Apostle of the Great Sin ". The Thunder dominated a drink, a huge purple lightning electricity went straight down from the clouds, and fell accurately in his hands. He held lightning with both hands, as if holding the power of the entire world. Next moment. The Thunder Spear stabbed towards the chest of [The Apostle of the Great Sin]. Mr. Hayler slowly raised his hands, and a low sobbing sound came from the air, as if it was the sorrow of countless injustice. His eyes lit a weird glow, and he thought of words in his mouth. A black vortex slowly formed in front of him, and the vortex faintly shined with palpitated blood. Suddenly. The dark vortex appeared in front of [Big Sin Apostle] ... Everyone knows that at the moment, it is the moment when the fate of the world is decided. Do nt use full strength at this time, when is it? But among the many secrets, Xia En did not do it, but was in an extremely abnormal and mysterious state. The countless information passed from his eyes just like the waterfall. [You learned about the truth of history from the mouth of the "Apostle of the Great Sin"! . [The density of "The Mystery of Destroyer Destruction" is 100%! . [The density of "Mystery of Truth" 100%! . [The density of "Augustine Dead" is 100%decisive! . [You get a gift from "hidden"! . [Professional fit: 100%! . [Start promotion ... Seventh -order legend! . With the flashes of many prompts, a huge force poured into Xia En''s body and washed his soul. He was roar in his mind, and then fell into the dark and unknown dark space. That is-- Secret Hai! After the familiar feeling of falling continued. Xia En opened his eyes again. What appeared in front of him is the vast and beautiful scene of countless stars and lumines. But at this time. Xia En''s mood was not particularly excited, but had strong concerns and anxiety. The promotion of legends is all happy. But the current situation is. Adding a new legend will not have much impact on the entire battle. Even if Chann is arrogant, he will not think that he has just broke through the legend and has the ability to defeat the [Apostles of the Great Sin] over the ninth level. Even in the process of promotion. He stayed in the body of [Seven Sea World] and may be affected by the war. Such a situation made him unhappy. In fact. Facing the World War I of the Great Sinful Apostle. It can be said that Xia En faced the most difficult and desperate battle. The huge level gap made him difficult for him to play a role in this battle. Even Xia En once became the burden of the salary king. This experience is the first time for him. [Acts of the Great Sin] The memory clip of the repression of the salary king is even more shocking. With Xia En''s firm will, he couldn''t help but have some pessimistic thoughts. "Can we really win this battle?" And at this moment. There was a gentle voice sounded in the [Sea of ??the Secret]. It passed into his ears like a gentle spring breeze. "Captain Xia En, don''t give up." "The hope of victory is on you!" Xia En looked up sharply. I saw a shadow that he could never forget, and was slowly walking towards him from the stars. (This chapter is finished) Chapter 413 [Lailas message] [The method of killing Chapter 413 [Laila''s Message] [Method of Destroyer Crime] At this moment. The figure appeared in [Secret Sea] was Laila! But at this time Lela is very different from her impression. The elf girl in front of her face is still beautiful, which is the most perfect masterpiece in the world. Each outline is like the artwork carefully carved by heaven. In the glory of [Secret Sea] countless stars, it is shining, as if brilliant than the Fantasy Star River in the distance. However, Xia En noticed again. Laila''s body was shrouded in a seemingly fog. Those fog with an indescribable atmosphere, extremely mysterious. What you want to say. It was a kind of chaotic and confused atmosphere, as if it was unable to be explored. Under the shroud of this fog, Laila''s face and figure have become a little blurred. Seems to be close to the eyes, but it seems like an unable to cross. And carefully observe Laila''s body at this time. Her hem and arms are aggregated by many mysterious starlight. Stars embellish her hair ends. Liuguang became her decoration. The whole body is no longer a weak flesh and blood, but transformed into another mysterious form, which is similar to those [secrets] in the distance. Obviously. This is not the real body of Laila. And more like a shadow left by her in some special way, it is used to convey some extremely important information. But inexplicable. Xia En felt that Laila''s state was familiar at this time, as if he had seen it. After thinking a little. Xia En suddenly woke up. When Lala''s face was blocked by the fog, it was very similar to Vivian on the [Black Swan]! "This is" Without waiting for Chan to think deeply, Laila said. "Captain Xia En, since you can see me here." "It means that you have broken through the seventh -order barriers and launched promotion to the legend." "Only by breaking through the legend can we slightly get rid of the restraint of the original [Secret Realm] and have the power that can affect the [Secret Hai]." "And our plan, until now, has the possibility of realizing the front line." plan? Is possible? Xia En is still a little confused. He faintly guessed that Laila seemed to be arranged a big game. Including the extermination of the extermination, the existence of [instantaneous time], and the so -called transaction ... They are part of this plan. But from the perspective of Xia En. It is just the scales of the overall situation, and it cannot be seen. And on the other hand. Right now, [the apostle of the big sin] clearly rely on his own strength to force many legendary strong men on the Seven Sea. Can this gap in power really make up through other means? Laila obviously noticed Xia En''s doubts and continued. "Now, you should have learned the true identity of [Quanzhi Sage]." "And, he did those purpose of those things." "But there is one thing you don''t know, that''s ..." "[Filial Destiny] How did this set off this flood." Xia En stunned. He has really never considered this issue. For a long time, he thought it was some special ability of [Dian Di]. after all. As a mysterious and powerful outer god, [Filial Fate] has an incredible ability, it seems to be understandable. Laila continued to explain. "If you can easily invade other [Secrets] and destroy other worlds." "So, the order in the entire [Secret Sea] will undoubtedly become extremely chaotic." "Those weak [secrets] have also been plundered and destroyed by the greedy foreign gods, and it cannot be retained at all." "This kind of thing is unacceptable by [Great Law]." "The nature of the law is order!" "Although, even if I am now, I don''t know how [Great Law] was born." "But I know that all the creatures born in [Secret Sea] need to follow the rules of [Great Law]." "Even the gods like [Dian Di] are no exception." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. indeed. If [Different Destiny] can really enter and exit [Qihai World] at will. He can use other more efficient ways to harvest the power of the world. There is no need to send a dirty apostle at all, and to do those things with a lot of things. on the other hand. The [The Lord of Billion Gel "in Charne''s impression is just to descend the gods to [Seven Sea World] in some way. And did not really come to this world. This undoubtedly proves Laila''s point of view from the side. Laila''s words paused and continued. "Captain Xia En, I dont know if you have heard of it ... [World Barrier] and [World Will]?" "Or, the barriers and will of [Secrets]?" "In fact, these two are the last line of defense that hinders [dirty fate] and other gods to invade other worlds." "The will of the [Secret Realm] may not be worth mentioning in front of God." "However, the rules formulated according to the [Great Law]." "After coming to a certain [Secret], you will be suppressed by the [Secret Realm] so that they cannot play their real power." "Of course, if some outsiders think, you can also force the will of the world after paying a lot of money." "But for them, this is undoubtedly a loss of money." "They harvest a world''s income, often not as good as the price paid for forcibly suppressing." "Therefore, there are few gods to make this kind of unrestrained move." When Xia En heard the words, he rose into a bright enlightenment. He is naturally familiar with [World Barrier] and [World Will]. When he broke through the fifth level. The promotion trials that have been adopted are to use the assimilation characteristics of [Void Secrets] to break through the invisible [World Barrier]. It was also after that. He unlocked the hidden occupation of [Secret Sea Walker]. These two actually have a hidden causal relationship. If you fail to break through the [World Barrier], Xia En will not walk freely in [Secret Sea]. Can''t be a real [Secret Sea Walker]. And later. In the exploration of [Furnace Secrets], Xia En really felt the existence of [World Will]. [Millet Secret Realm], the particularly obvious doom is the result of [World Will]. In contrast, in [Rhein''s Secrets]. Xia En is like the legendary son of luck. He is so lucky that he is so lucky, and various opportunities continue to benefit a lot. These two different treatments are the embodiment of [World Will]. - From a certain perspective. Xia En, who sneaked into the [Meltry Furnace Secret Realm], is also equivalent to foreign gods from [Secrets]. Seeing Xia En quickly understood what he meant, Laila continued to say. "Because of this." "Even if it is [Dian Di] such a powerful foreign god, you can only invade the [Seven Sea World] through other ways." "And [Quanzhi Sage] or [Apostle of the Great Sin] is the touch of His towards [Seven Sea World]!" "You can understand-" "[The Apostle of the Great Sin] is [Anchor] used to lock in [Seven Sea World]." "Only when this [anchor point] is deeply embedded in [Seven Sea World], [Dianzhi Life] can transmit his strength through him." There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! "In the past, [Emerald Island] [The City of Giant Wood], and the [God''s Wrath] incident in other areas." "In essence, he is constantly consolidating the [anchor point] move." "Shourly creating panic and chaos, let people impress the so -called [God''s Anger]." "This impression itself is a unique [anchor point]." Xia En secretly nodded. In order to open up the transmission ritual of [Furnace Secrets], he also left many special [anchor points]. Laila declined with a decisive conclusion. "Actually." "The reason why the [Apostle of the Great Sin] will be established [Truth] is not only because of some malicious taste." "More likely because ..." "He needs to use this method to assimilate this world!" "The people of [Truth] naturally think he is the people of this world." "And with this perception, spread, plus time to push." "[Seven Sea World] [World Will] will gradually agree with his existence, thereby eliminating the suppression of [World Will]." "Only in this way can [Acts of the Great Sin] can be more perfect to act as the [anchor point] of [Dian Di], and obtain more power from [Divine Destiny]." "It can be said." "[The Apostle of the Great Sin] The reason why they have such a powerful strength is that even Augustine and the salary king cannot defeat." "It''s because he can call the power from [Dian Di]." "The same reason." "Only the [Apostle of the Great Sin] is completely killed, and the [Anchor Point] is fundamentally removed from the [Seven Sea World]." "Only to cut off its connection with [Qihai World], completely liberated this world from his gaze." These words explained the doubts in Xia En''s heart very well. But he didn''t let him feel much. Because, even if you know the method of [Dian Di] [Acts of the Great Sin] invasion of [Seven Sea World]. It cannot change the status quo of the [big crime apostle] to defeat the current situation of other secrets with a crushing attitude. What he really needs is the way to defeat the [Acts of the Great Sin]! And at this time. Laila''s look suddenly became serious. "What I want to say next is the key to whether you can defeat the [big crime apostle]." "One is the connection between His and [Divine Destiny] temporarily." "Also cut off the power transmission between them." "Otherwise, he is equivalent to having unlimited mysteries. Even if he gathers the power of the entire Qihai, it is impossible to defeat it." "The other is ..." "You have to own, and the power beyond [Seven Sea World] can truly kill the [Apostle of the Great Sin]." "The reason is simple." "[The Apostle of the Great Sin], it is not the creature of [Seven Sea World]." "His souls and flesh have adopted the transformation of [Dianzhi]." "Ordinary power is at most that he just falls into a long sleep." "When He wakes up again, [Seven Sea World] The history of being wanton to destroy will repeat it again." Listen, Xia En''s face showed a bit of bitterness. These two conditions are more difficult than one. It is very difficult to find a space to be isolated from [Different Destiny]. As a result, do you have to have the power that does not belong to this world? The salary king''s [old day salary fire] is barely considered one. But [the big crime apostle], he will not stay stupidly to burn the salary king. The difficulty of this battle is still desperate. But at this time, Laila said. "Captain Xia En, in fact, I have prepared these two conditions." "When you say the sentence of when the victory has arrived , he will cooperate with you to close the space that is separated from [Dian Di]." "And the power of killing [Apostle of the Great Sin], it has long been placed on your [Black Swan". " "That power ... can only be reluctant when you are promoted." What to say to the salary king? Is it enough to kill the power of [Big Criminal Apostle], on the [Black Swan]? Hearing the words, Xia En''s heart was shocked. The first thing he thought of was the [eternal coffin] of Wei Wei''an. The coffin came to Xia En''s hands under a series of opportunities. It is obviously hidden, another huge secret. The similarities between Vivien and Laila also made Xia En Yin aware of what. He couldn''t help asking. "Laila, what is the relationship between Vivian and you?" "Where is your body now?" "Also ... why do you know so much?" But at this time. After speaking the words just now, this virtual shadow in front of Xia En seemed to complete his last mission. She looked at Xia En gentle and nostalgic, waved gently. "Xia En, I have made an agreement, I must meet you in the future." "But now, I can''t guarantee that when I meet you, I still don''t have the original myself." "Maybe, I have forgotten you, you can''t recognize me." "But I still have a little weak expectation." "Captain Xia En, if you want to see me again ..." "The one where the elves are located [secret]." "There, I left some marks before leaving." The words fall. Laila slowly closed his eyes, and the light of his body began to flash. Those thin light, like fireflies, scattered from her fingertips, hair, corners, and even every inch of skin. "Laila? Laila!" "Where did you go?" In Chan''s voice, Laila''s body began to become transparent. The original clear outline gradually became blurred, as if it was shrouded in a layer of tulle. Her skin is like a thin ice, with a faint halo under the reflection of light, and eventually turns into countless light spots, dissipating in front of Xia En. Xia En was lost. But soon, his eyes were firm. Xia En knows that now he has more important things to do! (This chapter is finished) Chapter 414 [Seventh -order legend! 】 【Daniel! . Chapter 414 [Seventh -order Legend! Daniel! . As the phantom of Laila dissipated. The secret power that had been ready to go before rushed from the Secret Sea rushes to Xia En''s body. The process of promoting the legend this time was much smoother than he expected. Xia En believed that this breakthrough had to go through a promotion ritual and through the trial task of the secret sea. but. Perhaps it is because Xia En''s accumulation is enough. Or maybe it is because the world will of the Seven Seas World also noticed it. Right now, the life and death of the entire world. Therefore, he provided a little convenience for Xia En''s promotion. With the help of the world''s will, Xia En was able to avoid the process of promoting trials. Immediately afterwards. The countless secrets in the secret sea seemed to have been summoned by some kind of powerful summary, and they gathered towards Xia En, forming a huge vortex. Countless intangible silk threads began to wrap around him. It looks like a cocoon, wraps Chann in it. This process is not painful, but with a strange comfort. In the cocoon, Xia En''s consciousness entered a mysterious state. Time seemed to lose its meaning. He could perceive everything in the sea of ??secrets, but he was like a layer of tulle. Countless crushed pictures emerged in front of Chann''s eyes. He saw the birth of the secret situation and fell, saw the division and reorganization of the mainland, and saw countless lives rising and falling in the river ... Through these scenes, Xia En once again witnessed the existence of [Great Law]! However, it is different from the shocking glance when breaking through the sixth level. This time, he seemed to be able to get closer and deeper to [Great Law]! It was an existence that could not be described in language. He surpasses all known laws and transcends human understanding. He seems to be a huge network composed of countless light spots, and each light spot is a complete universe. He has no fixed form, sometimes like a nebula, sometimes like an infinitely extended river. And weird. At this time, Xia En felt a strange sense of familiarity from [Great Law]. It''s like ... He has been there, always staring at himself, watching everyone! Yes. All the creatures born in the sea of ??secrets are actually under the gaze of [Great Law] from birth to death. This kind of familiarity from the soul comes from this. But soon. Xia En realized that the [Great Law] in front of him seemed to be waiting for? He suddenly woke up. When each legendary strong is promoted, it is necessary to engrave its own brand on the [Great Law]. Only when you leave a trace can you get the recognition of [Great Law], so as to master the power of the law! The imprint left determines the type of the power of the legendary strong. From a certain perspective, they also determine their future potential and upper limit. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but be curious. What kind of law would he give him the brand''s brand left on [Great Law]? Xia En did not hesitate for too long, and directly moved his soul and secret. A brand that belongs to him is gradually formed on [Great Law]. In this faint and mysterious mystery, the cocoon of the secret. Xia En''s body and soul are undergoing a transformation that has never been before. His breath is also sublimating to the new level ... Mowing Mowing at the same time. Above the ruins and the ice sea, the clouds were low, as if even the sky was holding its breath for this battle. "it''s over." [Acts of the Great Sin] Speaking softly, the sound seemed to come from the abyss, with the heart of heartbroken. His figure stands in the center of the broken Dayan Palace, and the black robe is automatic. The sarcasm smile on the strong face with a strong person. And around. From the only ruins left to Dayan, to the glaciers that appeared from the distance. At this time, the state of legendary strong and powerful legendary state was quite miserable. Their weapons were broken, the armor was broken, and blood flowed out of the wound, stained the land under their feet. The air is filled with a strong **** smell, mixed with anxiety, making people disgusting. "Do you think ... can you stop me from this power?" [Acts of the Great Sin] Raise his chin slightly, sweeping those struggling figures, and the ironic smile on his face became stronger and distorted. His voice was not loud, but he hit everyone''s heart like a heavy hammer. Actually. With the strength of [Acts of the Great Sin], you can kill those weaker legends. But he didn''t do so. Of course, it is impossible for good intentions, but because ... [Apostle of Sin] I want them to witness the arrival of the second world-destruction flood with their own eyes, so that they can experience the regret and despair that is clearly the culprit is right in front of them, but cannot be stopped. For him, that expression is undoubtedly the most delicious food. But at this moment. A fiery flame cut through the air, and forced the [Apostle of the Great Sin]. It is the salary king who is shrouded in the flame. A angry flame was burning in his eyes, and the long sword in his hand was as dazzling as the scorching sun. [The Apostle of Sin] He didn''t even look back, but just waved his hand gently. The flame suddenly stagnated less than one meter away from him, and then seemed to be swallowed by some invisible power, and instantly disappeared. "I said, you don''t understand at all ... what is the real power." The sound of [big crime apostle] is low and cold, as if declared an endless ending. "Your struggle is just a futile sorrow." As soon as his words fell, a dark energy burst out from his fingertips, rushing towards the salary king like a poisonous snake. The salary king''s body retreated for dozens of meters, and a deep wound appeared on his waist. The dark blood flowed slowly from the wound. The ability used by [big crime and apostle] is just like his name, which is the seven major sins of human beings. When this secret force penetrates into the body of the secret path, it will continue to amplify their instinctive negative emotions like a toxin. Anger, greed, jealousy, lust... These emotions are buried deep in the human soul, and cannot be given up or escaped. It can be said that they are part of human instinct. Without these "sin", human beings are no longer human. And when [big sin apostles] with them as weapons, the effects caused by them are naturally terrifying. Not far away. The status of Hayler and Mouza is extremely embarrassed, and their breath is much weaker than the beginning of the war. Various "sins" in their minds make it difficult for them to call their secrets normally. Such symptoms are more obvious in Hyle. Mr. Hyle was not a single person, but a collection of countless avatars. The aggregation of the souls of so many avatars will inevitably cause cracks on the soul, leading to certain problems in the spirit. Coupled with the power of [Youyou dominates], it has the characteristics of polluting people''s hearts. Compared with the glory of Hui teaching, it is more biased towards the dark side. The deeper the degree of affected. At this time, under the deliberate control of the [Apostle of the Sin]. On the body of Mr. Hyrene, countless heavy shadows appeared. A similar and different shadow seemed to be split out of his body, dancing wildly, and launching no different attacks on everything around him. It can be said. Mr. Hyle is almost run away under the influence of [Acts of the Great Sin]! Just at this time. There was only a few clear eyes in Hayler, and a decision flashed. There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book! He opened his mouth difficultly and said to Mouza next to him. "Old man, it seems that I can''t stand it anymore." "But in the end, I can create an opportunity for you." "Next, I will give it to you." The words have just fallen. Mr. Heller''s body seemed to be torn by invisible force, his limbs twisted into unnatural shapes, his joints reversed, and countless wriggling bugs were wandering under his skin. Immediately afterwards, the shadows that teared his body suddenly splitted into four cracked and turned into the unclear dark avatar. These clones cannot see clearly and their bodies are pitch black. Filling with the temperament of faint and madness. However, under the final will of Hyle. The shadow of Youyan did not launch an attack on Mouza and other legends, but rushed towards the [Big Sin Apostles] not far away! The speed of heavy shadows is incredible, and a tentacles are stretched out, as if to drag the [big sin apostle] into endless darkness. The existence of their existence itself is a blasphemy. As if the distorted projection from another dimension, it broke the rules of reality. Faced with such a killing trick, [the apostle of the big sin] also brought a little dignity on his face. "Even if you die, do you have to bite a piece of meat from me?" "It''s really a crazy dog!" "But it''s useless and useless! Your struggle is just futile!" [Act of the Great Sin] With a wave of hand, a black hole -like vortex emerged at the palm of the palm, exuding the power of stinging. It is necessary to swallow the avatars and tentacles together. However, what the [Apostle of Sin] did not expect was. The avatars of Hyllacia decomposed into a quiet large net in the moment, temporarily constrained his body. The secrets in his body were also blocked by this force, and temporarily silent. Seeing this, the eyes of the salary king and others flickered. At this moment, it was the front -line victory created by Hyrene. As soon as Mouza gritted his teeth, he once again urged the only divine power in his body. A strange light sword diameter turned straight to the [big crime apostle]. The salary king temporarily pressed the injury, as if it could burn the flames of all things and whistled out. The ancient books in the hands of the old man also turned to the last page. With the decomposition of this ancient book in the light of the stars. An illusory and real meteor suddenly fell from the sky! Other legends also exhibited the stunts of their respective box bottoms, as if they were enough to destroy the heavenly and destroyed attacks, and attacked the [big sin apostles] together. "boom!" The deafening loud noise seemed to shatter the whole world, shining strong light, and stabbing people could not open. Immediately afterwards, the thick smoke rose like a black monster, and it instantly devoured everything. The strong people held their breath and stared at the cigarettes tightly. "... is it over?" Time seems to solidify at this moment, and every second becomes extremely long. The sound of everyone''s heartbeat was clearly heard on the silent battlefield. Finally, the smoke began to dissipate slowly, as if it was slowly removed by an invisible big hand. The eyes of the crowd were instantly focused on the scattered place of smoke. When the figure gradually became clear, their faces became extremely ugly. [Acts of the Great Sin] Still standing there. I saw a huge gap appeared in his abdomen, several trauma appeared in the body surface, and his face became a little embarrassed because of dust. But everyone can see that [the apostle] did not die. And just two breathing time. Those seemingly serious injuries heal at the speed of visible to the naked eye and disappear quickly. The breath of [The Apostle of the Great Sin] is also rapidly picked up. The secret power in his body seemed endless, which could support such a cost-free recovery. - This is exactly the reason why Laila told Xia En that if he wants to kill the [Big Criminal Apostle], he must first isolate the reason why he connects with [Di Di]. Otherwise, it will be like now. The strong ones such as the salary of the king finally left some injuries on the [big crime apostle]. But in a moment, he recovered his heyday. This situation does not make people feel desperate. [The Apostle of the Great Sin] Looking around, showing a cold smile. "Unexpectedly, you can really surprise me." "But this is just right. A qualified drama should have been a bit unexpected." Hearing the words, everyone''s mood was sinking into the valley. The disappearance of Hayler also means that the victim of the eighth -level eight -level victims in this battle! And even his death could not bring real harm to the [Ambret in the Great Sin]. In the eyes of the legendary eyes, he couldn''t help bringing a bit of despair. They once thought they could defeat this demon. But now, everyone truly realized what a terrifying existence they were facing. "Who else?" "If you don''t shoot again, the flood will come again." [Acts of the Great Sin] Full of jokes in his eyes, his voice echoed over the ruins, as if declared the end of the battle. In the field, the white -haired Moua looked at the salary king and made a decision. "The salary king, let me use my life, and delay you for a while." The salary nodded heavy. The current situation is that only the eighth -order strong can cause harm to the [big crime apostle]. However, at this moment. A change in a breath suddenly caused the expression of King Xin to change slightly. Although this breath is weak, it has a power that cannot be ignored, as if tearing a crack in the darkness. [Acts of the Great Sin] A little meal, turned around, looked at a direction in the crowd, and laughed. "Did you break through the legend in the battle?" "It''s a bit interesting." "But ... what can I do if it is a legend?" Among the crowd. Xia En opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed the mysterious and unpredictable glory. The breath of the whole person is renewed, as if breaking away from a certain shackle and reaching a new level. He didn''t hesitate to drink. "Paying king, when the decisive victory is!" (This chapter is finished) Chapter 415 Vivian Lera? (Happy New Year’s Eve!) Chapter 415 Vivian = Leila? (Happy New Years Eve!) With Xia En''s whisper. A memory deep in Xinwang''s mind was suddenly stimulated. He suddenly remembered what the mysterious powerful man who brought the prophecy said to him before the battle with the [Apostle of Sin]. "King of Fire, what I say to you next is likely to determine the future of this world." "You must keep it firmly in your heart." The self in my memory nodded heavily. "I understand, please tell me." Leila continued, "First of all, I hope you can leave this dead soul [Dayan]." "Seal it temporarily, or put it into a deep sleep." Instead of destroying it directly. Upon hearing this, King of Firewood couldn''t help but show his doubts. "Why?" "If you don''t destroy [Great Flame], it will only expand and become stronger over time, until it is impossible for me to overcome." Leila explained. "Dayan will be an extremely important part of our plan." "On the one hand, it carries [Great Yan Kingdom] and our precious memories." "It will allow people in future generations to know what happened in history." "on the other hand." "Dayan is also the cage and tomb I prepared for that [Almighty Sage]." "Cage?" Hearing this statement, King Xin''s expression changed. "What does that mean?" Leila said without hiding it. "Faced with a special existence like [Dayan], [Omniscient Sage] will never be able to just watch from the side." "Based on what I know about him." "He will most likely take the initiative to enter the [Dayan] and become a part of [Dayan] to master this unprecedented terrible undead." The King of Firewood was secretly shocked. "Integrate with [Dayan] to master this undead?" "[Omniscient Sage], is it so crazy?" Leila sighed softly. "His madness is probably beyond the imagination of you and me." "In fact, I can see that the character of [the omniscient sage] has a strong tendency to self-destruct." "The reason why he became what he is now must be inseparable from the Imperial Simian Ming." "I think deep down in his heart, maybe I hope someone can kill him, right?" At this time, the King of Fire still didn''t understand. "But, in that case, the danger of [Dayan] has increased greatly?" Leila said, This is both a crisis and an opportunity to completely eliminate the [Omniscient Sage]. "When the [Omniscient Sage] combines with [Great Flame], although it can allow him to gain more powerful strength and be recognized by the will of the world, avoiding the suppression of the rules of the [Great Law]." "But equally, he will be completely assimilated with [Dayan]." "As long as [Great Flame] is eliminated, the [Omniscient Sage] will also be destroyed." "This is our only opportunity and our last hope." The King of Fire was silent for a moment, and his mind was filled with thoughts. He understood what Laila meant, but such a plan was extremely risky. [Dayan] itself is an extremely dangerous existence. If it is combined with [Omniscient Sage], it may become more difficult to control. However, he also knew that the threat of [Omniscient Sage] was far more terrifying than [Great Flame]. That existence from outside the Secret Sea has long surpassed common sense. If he is allowed to continue to act recklessly, the entire Seven Seas World will be completely destroyed. "I see." The King of Fire finally spoke, his voice low and firm. "I will act according to your plan, temporarily sealing [Dayan] and waiting for [Omniscient Sage] to fall into the trap." Leila nodded, and then her figure gradually became blurred, as if it would disappear at any time. Finally, a little pity appeared in her eyes when she looked at the King of Fire. That is sympathy for the tragic future of the King of Firewood. But Leila said, "King of Fire, remember, it''s all for the future of the world." No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you have to stick with it. Time returns to the present. The chaotic memories seemed to awaken with a keyword in Xia En''s mouth. The King of Fire quickly woke up and immediately understood what he was going to do now. He turned his head and looked at the [Great Flame] ignited by the black flame below. The black flame twisted and jumped freely like life, constantly swallowing everything around it, emitting a heart-wrenching breath. DayanIt became ragged under that flame. The space outside [Dayan] was revealed. The glacier was collapsing, and the huge ice body slowly slid into the sea, causing huge waves. The sea surface was no longer calm, and the ice was like a broken mirror, reflecting dazzling fire. The sea water fluctuates and surging under the squeeze of ice. The sound of ice breaking echoed in the extreme north, and the cold wind carried water vapor and stirred up over the sea. At the junction of ice and water, there is chaos and turmoil. The King of Sinica knows that now is the last chance. He stood up suddenly, and the burning flames on his body turned into a brilliant gold color. The blood and secret power in the body seemed to be stimulating and burning. And such power faintly echoes some of the existences of the origin of [Dayan]. In those days, King Xin used flesh and blood to feed [Dayan], and naturally buried part of his strength in it. The King of Firewood said softly. "My people, now, I need your strength!" "Please help me in the end!" As soon as he finished speaking, a golden flame was also ignited in the [Da Flame], which was ignited by the black fire. At this last moment, the souls of the people of the [Great Yan Kingdom] chose to believe in their king and provide him with his own strength! Under the call of the King of Fire. Gradually. The golden flame replaced the original black fire. The entire temperament of [Dayan] has also changed from its original deep and weirdness to a little holy and majesty. "Oh? Is this your last resort?" [The Apostle of Sin] Looking at this scene, a small surprise flashed in his eyes. But soon, his expression changed back to contempt and sarcasm. The faith of the [Apostle of Sin] comes from his own power over the entire [Seven Seas World]. In his opinion, no matter what means Xinwang and others use, they can easily deal with it. As he said before It just adds a little fun or two to this drama that is destined to end. Just the next moment. Suddenly, the golden light in [Dayan] suddenly burst out, turning into countless chains, expanding in all directions. Those chains are transformed by the remaining thoughts of countless people [Dayan]. It is also a manifestation of some rules. The golden chains gradually formed a closed space. It was like a huge cage that locked the [Apostle of Sin] and everyone present. at the same time. In the chaos of ice and sea, a ship was roaring towards Xia En and others. The hull is as dark as the night, in sharp contrast with the pale glaciers around it, like an elegant black swan sliding across the broken mirror. The bow of the ship broke through the ice and made a low roar. The ice cubes shattered on the side of the ship, splashing crystal water. The sails roared in the cold wind, and the frost condensed on the mast flashed in the sun. It is [Black Swan]! In the distance, the roar of the glacier collapse came faintly, as if playing a magnificent background music for its voyage. [Black Swan] On this sea of ??ice intertwined with ice and fire, it looks small and tough, carrying the mission of saving the world, and is quickly approaching the sea where [Dayan] is located. finally. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! When the golden cage is about to be fully closed. [Black Swan] Like a black lightning, it cut through the chaos of ice and fire, and rushed into the cage made of golden flames. The hull passed by the golden chain, stirring up bursts of hot sparks, as if announcing its arrival. "Captain Shane!" On the deck, Joey shouted loudly, his voice piercing through the howling of flames and the icy wind. "We''re here!" Shane looked at Joey and others on the deck, his lips slightly raised, showing a hint of relief. Despite the critical situation, he knew that he was not alone. His crew, his ships, and other powerful men from the seven seas were with him. soon. Shane''s eyes fell on An and Vivian beside Joey. Although there is no basis, his intuition tells himself. [Black Swan] The reason why he arrived here is because of the two of them! "Good come." Xia En''s voice was low and powerful: "Next, the final battle." [The Apostle of Sin] Standing in the center of the golden cage, staring at all this coldly. His eyes swept over the [Black Swan], swept over Xia En, and finally stayed on the King of Fire. There was still a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking them for being overestimated. "It''s really touching." [The Apostle of Sin] said contemptuously: "A group of ants actually tried to shake the gods." "It''s a pity that your efforts are just in vain." The King of Firewood did not say much, his hands slowly raised, and the brilliant golden flame condensed in his palms, turning into a huge sword of flames. Above the sword, countless [Dayan] people''s souls were vaguely shining. Their beliefs and power are all gathered here at this moment. The Apostle of Sin! The voice of King Firewood was like thunder, resounding throughout the cage. "Your arrogance will eventually ruin yourself!" Before he finished speaking, the King of Firewood suddenly waved his sword, and the brilliant golden flame turned into a huge light blade, slashing the [Apostle of the Sin] and leaving. Faced with such an offensive, [The Apostle of Sin] just smiled softly. He raised his hand and a ball of black energy appeared in his palm. The energy seemed to be able to swallow everything, and even the surrounding flames and light were attracted by it and gradually dimmed. Then, [The Apostle of Sin] suddenly clenched his fist, and the dark energy burst out instantly, turning into a huge black barrier, blocking the attack of the King of Fire. With a loud bang, gold and black energy intertwined, and terrifying energy fluctuations burst out. The entire golden cage was trembling, as if it could collapse at any time. But then. [The Apostle of Sin] His face changed slightly. "My power..." After taking action, he immediately realized that the bond between him and the Immortal Force seemed to be isolated by some kind of force. It made it impossible for him to easily replenish the secret power in his body. [The Apostle of Sin] Looking at the golden cage around him, he instantly understood its effect. "With [Dayan] as a cage, cut off my connection with my Lord?" "It''s indeed the idea of ??a genius, but this alone can''t kill me!" On the side, legendary powerful men such as Thunder Lord, Old Man Xingchen, and Moussa instantly realized the changes in the situation. Just let the [Apostle of Sin] lose its endless self-healing ability and secret power reserve. In this battle, they still have a glimmer of hope of victory. "It''s now! Take action together!" With Mousa''s shout, all the legends in the field, even those who were seriously injured, once again mobilized their secret power to launch an attack. The overwhelming offensive fell toward the [Apostle of Sin]! At the same time. Xia En jumped and came to the [Black Swan]. Vivian, who had been waiting for a long time, spoke directly. "Captain Shane, please open the [Eternal Coffin] with your own hands." "And I will be your sharpest spear." At this time, Xia En noticed that Vivian''s face, which was originally blurred and as if she was covered by a layer of veil, became extremely clear. It was as if some original ban was lifted. And Vivian''s real facial features are exactly what Laila looks like! Even though Xia En had some speculations about this. But when he really saw this scene, there was still a violent turmoil in his heart. Xia En couldn''t help asking. "Vivian, who are you?" Vivian replied, I am Laila, but not Laila. "If you insist on saying it, I still prefer the title [Witch of the Narcissus]." "When things are over, I will explain everything to you if there is still a chance." Xia En also knew that this was not the time to dig into the bottom line. He forced himself to suppress the doubts in his heart and walked to the [Coffin of Eternity] that Vivian moved to the deck. Xia En stretched out his hand and slowly opened it. It is different from any previous situation when [Eternal Coffin] is opened. The moment the crystal coffin opened, an indescribable force poured into Xia En''s body. That''s a... The power that does not belong to this [Seven Seas World]! In his eyes, a world of destruction, dead silentness and ruins appeared. The breath of nirvana lingers throughout the world. There are no creatures, no humans, and no civilization. That world has been completely destroyed. Just a moment. Xia En understood Vivian''s origin. Vivian is the Laila of the nirvana world! It can be said that she is in a parallel world! Laila was summoning the [Coffin of Eternity] in some way. Vivian also responded to her call and came to this undestroyed [Seven Seas World]. And in Laila''s mouth, the power that can completely kill the [Apostle of Sin] and does not belong to this world. It does not refer to some kind of power in the [Secret Sea]. Instead, it means... The power of nirvana on another world line! (This chapter is finished) Chapter 416 Kill the [Apostle of Sin]! Take off your Chapter 416 Kill [The Apostle of Sin]! Take off your armor! On another world line. [Seven Seas World] was also destroyed by [Sizumi Ming]. The will of that world naturally has strong hostility and hatred towards []. At this time, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to borrow its power to kill the [Apostle of Sin]. As the power stored in the [Eternal Coffin] continued to pour into Xia En''s body. The aura on his body began to rise extremely exaggeratedly. From the point of entering a legend, it has rapidly improved to the eighth-level legend, and then to the ninth level of the Fire King at the same level. Finally, a certain barrier was faintly broken through and reached an incredible height. Of course, such powerful power is only temporary. When Xia En used this [power of extinction], he returned to his original state. Even so. At this moment, Xia En has also become the strongest person in [Seven Seas World]. And I noticed such a change in the aura. The expression of the [Apostle of Sin] who had always been sarcastic and sure of victory finally changed suddenly. He never thought that the existence in front of him, which was originally like an ant in his eyes, could climb to the same height as him in an instant. That kind of aura seemed to be trembling for the world and even time would stagnate for it. Plus this cage composed of the last power of [Dayan]. Looming. [The Apostle of Sin] It was the first time that he felt like he might be killed. But even so. [The Apostle of Sin] Not only did there be no fear on his face, but there was a more distorted and crazy smile. "What if you have such power for the time being?" "After all, you''re just a borrowed container and you can''t really control it!" "If you want to kill me, then try it!" After saying that, [The Apostle of Sin] suddenly closed his hands and burst into dark secret power all over his body. Countless sins and malice wrapped around his body, as if transforming into an unshakable mountain. However, just as he urged his power with all his strength. A terrifying purple thunder suddenly fell from the sky. Like a spear that penetrated the heaven and earth, piercing straight into his body. The actions of the [Apostle of the Sin] suddenly stopped. If he were outside this golden cage, he could use his huge secret power to resist the thunder. But now, after the connection with the Immortal Mind is cut off, the [Apostle of the Sin] cannot use the secret power in the body without any scruples as before. And at this moment. Not only Thunder Lord, everyone present realized it. Success or failure, this is a killing! Musa sighed softly: "May the glow be with me!" As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from his body. Jane, who had been silent before, also used absolutely taboo means at this moment. A rune flashing with a strange light slowly emerged from her. This rune embodies Jians knowledge and wisdom over thousands of years. It can be said that this is a killer move that she can only use once in her life. But at this time. Jian just used this rune to buy Xia En an extra second. The other legendary powerhouses were like them, trying their best to consume some of the secret power of the [Apostle of the Great Sin]. Fight for a chance to win at this moment! "You ants!" [The Apostle of Sin] let out an angry roar, his expression twisted. "Do you think this will kill me?" The dark secret power in his body expanded rapidly, quickly melting the purple thunder and the whistling light. Jane''s wisdom rune was easily shattered by him. And just then. The fire king not far away showed a determined and calm expression. His voice was low and firm, echoing between heaven and earth: "[The Apostle of Sin], your arrogance and sin will end here." "I will turn into a fire with my remaining body!" As he finished speaking, the golden and red flames began to burn from the body of the King of Firewood. And gradually penetrated out from his eyes and skin. This made his body look a little transparent and illusory, like a fragile porcelain. It''s like... The King of Firewood has integrated everything about himself, including his life and soul, into this flame! Seeing this scene, a trace of sadness flashed across the crowd. But she also knew that if it were the King of Sinica whom she loved deeply, she would definitely make such a decision! boom! ! The brilliant golden flame fell on the body of the [Apostle of Sin], like a chain, suppressing his power. at the same time. With the blessing of [The Power of Nirvana]. Xia En''s eyes had become deep like the starry sky, as if reflected in endless nirvana and nothingness. Around his body, the space began to twist, as if even the world itself was trembling under his power. However, Xia En felt that there was still a straight line between him and his true "completeness"! He turned his head and looked at Vivian beside him, and suddenly understood the meaning of the sentence Vivian said just now, "I will be your sharpest spear." See. Vivian beside him looked at him deeply. Then, her body transformed into a more pure and more original [power of nirvana]. Immediately afterwards, this [power of extinction] gradually gathered into a slender and sharp spear. It was covered with a trembling and terrifying aura, as if even fate could pierce it! Like a legendary spear Gangniel! A trace of complexity flashed in Xia En''s eyes, but he did not hesitate. He knew that the moment the strong men such as Xinwang fought for him must not be wasted. Xia En held the pitch-black spear, and the secret power of nirvana was condensed around the gun. The energy seemed to be able to swallow everything, and even the light could not escape. "Shane...is now!" The voice of King Firewood gradually weakened, and his figure gradually dissipated in the flames, turning into starlight, dissipating between heaven and earth. Xia En''s right hand suddenly raised, and a dazzling black light suddenly burst out from the pitch-black spear. The light contained the will of [Seven Seas World], the hatred and anger of countless creatures, and the determination of Xia En. "This blow is for all the worlds that have been destroyed by you and all the lives that have been trampled on by you!" Xia En''s voice exploded like thunder. The black spear quickly expanded in the air, turning into a black beam of light that penetrated the heaven and earth, and blasted straight towards the chest of the [Apostle of Sin]. Wherever the light column passes, space collapses and time stagnates! It seems that even the rules of the world have been completely rewritten under this blow. The Apostle of Sin''s pupils suddenly contracted. He wanted to hide, but found that he had been firmly locked by the fire of the King of Fire. He wanted to resist, but found that his secret power was as fragile as paper in front of [The Power of Nirvana]. "No-!" [The Apostle of Sin] let out a desperate roar. His body began to collapse under the impact of that power, and the power of sin was swallowed by the [Power of Nirvana], and even his soul was wailing under that power. His eyes were full of unwillingness and fear, and he could not believe that he would be defeated in such a situation. However, at the end of life. A trace of relief flashed in the eyes of [The Apostle of Sin]. "Finally...can it be over?" His voice rang out of the light column. "This time, you won." "But in front of [], you still have no chance of victory..." When the light dissipated, the figure of the [Apostle of the Sin] had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared. The golden cage also collapsed, turning into golden light and dissipating into the air. The entire battlefield fell into a brief silence. Everyone held their breath, as if they couldn''t believe what was in front of them. The [Apostle of Sin] who was once arrogant and seemed invincible in the world was actually defeated by them. However, Xia''s body began to collapse at this moment. Countless cracks emerged on his skin, and blood oozed out of it, dyeing his clothes red. His aura quickly weakened, fell from the ninth level, and finally returned to his original state. "Captain Shane!" Joey was the first to rush forward and held his shaky body. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "I''m fine..." Xia En reluctantly smiled, his voice weak but firm. "We...win." Moussa, Thunder Lord and other legendary powerhouses also surrounded him. Their faces were exhausted, but also the joy of victory. "Yes, we won." Moussa whispered. He looked at the sea of ??ice around him, and gradually became stable as Da Yan and the [Apostle of the Sin] disappeared. The glaciers no longer melt. This means that this disaster of destruction has been stopped by them. As for the part of the glaciers that have turned into seawater, although it will temporarily cause changes in the ocean currents in this sea area, it will not have much impact on the entire [Seven Seas World]. only. The price of this battle can only be described as extremely heavy. Not only several legendary powerful men died in this battle. Even his mortal enemy Heller, the former king of King Ferry, and a crew member of Shane all died in order to eliminate the [Apostle of Sin]. Moussa murmured in a low voice, History will remember you. He exuded a holy light, and he was silent for the victims in this battle. And at this time. After a breath of relief, Xia En looked at the place where the [Apostle of Sin] disappeared. He realized that something seemed to be left behind there? "Joey, take me over and have a look." "Yes, Captain Shane." With Joey''s help, Shane gradually approached the place where the [Apostle of Sin] disappeared. Sure enough. There, two faint light **** remained. One of them is a faint fire. To be precise, it''s just a small flame. It was shivering in the cold wind of [Far North], as if it could be extinguished at any time. But when she saw it, Xia En''s expression suddenly shook. Of course he would not forget that the essence of the King of Firewood is an existence called [Old Torch]. As long as the torch is not extinguished, the King of Firewood will not be considered to be truly dead! Xia En''s eyes were staring at the faint flame, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart. King of Firewood, the king who once stood at the top of the world, burned his life and soul to turn into the last flame in order to defeat the [Apostle of Sin]. And now, this faint flame is the last remaining of the Fire King. At this time, the dark ice not far away also came to mid-air. "Captain Shane, please let me take him away." Anbing looked at Fire Seed with gentle eyes: "I will wait until the day he returns." Shane nodded. As the wife of King of Firewood, it is indeed the most suitable thing to keep this spark. So, Anbing took out the wooden box that had been placed in the fire before and carefully included it. The flames pounded slightly in the box, as if they had found a new destination. Xia En looked at Dark Ice and put away the fire, and his eyes turned to another ball of light. It was a weaker spot of light that was almost impossible to detect. However, when Shane approached, he felt a familiar breath That''s...Vivian''s breath! "Vivian..." Xia En''s heart aches. Vivian, the crew member who once fought alongside him, is also Laila from another world. In order to help him defeat the [Apostle of Sin], he did not hesitate to transform his body into the [Power of Nirvana] and turned into the spear that penetrated the great sin. At this time, her existence had almost disappeared, leaving only this faint spot of light. Looking back now. Xia En actually knows very little about Vivian. Xia En didn''t know her true identity and the mission she carried until the last moment. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help feeling guilty. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the spot of light. The light spots flashed slightly, as if responding to his touch. However, its light became weaker and weaker, as if it could dissipate into nothingness at any time. Xia En''s heart tightened. But at this moment. A figure came to his side and spoke. "Captain Shane, open the [Eternal Coffin] and place her remnant soul into it." "Maybe it will make her return to what she was." The sound coming from my ears was crisp and beautiful, like a clear spring, and it was obviously the sound of a girl. But Xia En felt both familiar and unfamiliar. "Who are you" Xia En turned around, but was stunned. Because the people who came beside him were An in armor! "You...can you speak?!" "And, are you still a woman?" Xia En was greatly surprised. An said, "After the death of the [Apostle of the Sin], the curse set by the [Secret of the Sin] on the elves dissipated." "I can just speak." "And now, I think of my true identity." As he said that, An took off his helmet. Exposed to the air is the beautiful, elf girl''s face. It''s actually Laila''s appearance! "What''s this?" Xia En was shocked. It was Vivian before, but now it is An? What the **** is going on? But now, it is not the time to ask questions. If hesitates any longer, Vivian''s last remnant soul will also disappear. He quickly brought the [Eternal Coffin] to the light spot and included it in it. And just the moment Xia En touched the light spot. Two completely different memories broke into his mind... (End of this chapter) Chapter 417 【Disaster of Black】 and 【Divine God of B Chapter 417 [Disaster of Black] and [The God of Blind and Idiot] The first to break into Xia En''s mind. It is an extremely chaotic and broken memory. What appears in memory seems to be a world that is very different from [Seven Seas World]. In that world, temples and faith are the ways for people to obtain extraordinary power. At this moment, what caught my eye was a gorgeous temple. A man with a beautiful appearance, like a man and a woman, walked into a temple with devout devotion. Xia En suddenly realized. "Is this the memory of [The Apostle of the Sin]?" To be honest, he was not very interested in the memory of the [Apostle of Sin]. After all, in Shane''s view, the [Apostle of Sin]''s style of acting is already a complete madman. While he is pursuing destruction of others, he is also destroying himself. However, Xia En thought about it again. Although the [Apostle of Sin] is dead, it does not mean that the [Seven Seas World] is completely safe. The threat of [] still exists. And in the memory of the [Apostle of Sin], there may be information related to [Apostle of Sin]. Thinking of this, Xia En calmed down and began to read this memory. In memory. [The Apostle of Sin] is an orphan whose parents die. Under the adoption of an old priest, he becomes a priest in a temple. He likes life in the temple very much. The gentle old priest, the kind companion, and the worshiper who still has good thoughts despite some troubles. Time passed day by day. His faith in the gods is becoming increasingly pious. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have taken over the position of the old priest and become the archbishop in this temple. Until that day. The temple collapsed! The man knelt in front of the broken statue and watched the dark cracks spread from the forehead of the statue, crawling the entire palace like a spider web. The voice of the gods still echoed in his ears. The sound is no longer the solemn and sacred of the past, but with some trembling madness. "You are the apostle I chose..." "Next, you will destroy this world." In my memory, the filthy phantom appeared and loomed in the collapsed temple. His body is made up of countless flowing shadows, and countless painful faces surging in those shadows. There was a dark liquid flowing in His eyes, which dripped onto the ground, corroding the bottomless holes. "Why destroy it?" The man''s voice was trembling: "Aren''t we your most loyal apostle?" "Why?" "Does it take a reason?" [] A harsh laughter sounded. "Great, you will be completely reborn!" A drop of dark liquid dripped into the man''s eyebrows. Immediately afterwards, the man''s body undergoes a strange change. [] The drop of liquid given by him rushes through his blood vessels, transforming every inch of his flesh and blood. Something was squirming under his skin, and it was a new organ growing. His vision began to distort, and the originally clear world became fragmented, leaving only endless pain and madness. When the man woke up again, all he saw was the temple that turned into ruins, as well as the corpses of the old priests and their companions. He wanted to cry, but he couldn''t even shed tears. This is just a starting point. "It''s up to you to destroy the whole world with your own hands." Memories become fragmented here. Only countless broken pictures flashed one after another. Temples after temples were destroyed under the men under control. The sky cracked huge gaps, and the dark liquid poured down like a waterfall; The earth was wailing, and boiling magma surged out from countless cracks; The ocean is boiling, and countless dead marine creatures are floating in the steaming water. Finally, the whole world came to a dead silence. The man is no longer the same as him. The madness of [] flows in his body, and his soul is torn into millions of pieces. But he is still alive! After that, he became an existence called the [Apostle of Sin]. Walking through worlds after world, bringing filthy disasters to them. And because of the experience of being manipulated and played by [ѧ]. The character of the [Apostle of Sin] has become extremely distorted, and he naturally has malice and jealousy towards geniuses in other worlds. He thought, why was it himself who was treated like this? But the [Apostle of Sin] clearly knew that he could not get rid of his fate controlled by [The Descendant]. So he wanted others to taste the same pain as himself. Only then would he do such things to Augustine, King of Fire, and other powerful people in the world. Whenever I see these people showing a look of despair and collapse. [The Apostle of Sin] A twisted heart will feel a little happy. Sadly. The more the [Apostle of Sin] does this, the more it is in line with the path of [The Mind], and the closer it is to the connection with Him. After reading this memory, Xia En sighed in his heart. At this time, he also completely understood why the [Apostle of Sin] had a slight relief in his final tone. The tragedy of the [Apostle of Sin] was not entirely chosen by him, but was pushed into the abyss step by step by step by step by step. His distortion and madness are to some extent the result of []''s malice and play. Deep in the heart of the [Apostle of Sin], perhaps longing for someone to truly kill him. But even so. Shane also cannot fully sympathize with the [Apostle of Sin]. After all, while being manipulated, he also chose to pass on his pain to others, and even enjoy it. This distorted pleasure is proof of his complete depravity. Xia En took a deep breath and pulled his attention away from the memory of the [Apostle of Sin]. He knew that although this memory revealed the past of the [Apostle of Sin]. But more importantly, it provides key information about []. The existence of [] is far more dangerous than Xia En imagined. Not only can He control the will of others, but He can also transform people into His apostles and become tools for destroying the world by giving power. And [The Apostle of Sin] is just one of His many pieces. "[]...Is it really just to destroy the world to harvest the power of filth?" Xia En murmured to himself, frowning. From the memory of the [Apostle of Sin], he vaguely felt that behind the actions of [The Mind] seemed to be hidden in some deeper intentions. But Xia En cannot see through what it is for the time being. Just as he was pondering, the scene in his memory suddenly flashed again. This time, he saw a vague scene The phantom of [] is suspended in a void space, surrounded by countless broken world fragments. His voice was low and cold, as if he was talking to himself. Damage of Darkness is coming It must be accelerated This sentence shocked Xia En. "[Damage of Darkness]?!" When using the help of the King of Firewood to break through the sixth level, Xia En had seen one world after another, completely destroyed under the dark wave. And in the words of [], even He is going to be affected by the []? This discovery made Xia En feel a chill. As for the information he learned. [Damage of Black] is an extremely terrible disaster in [The Secret Sea]. Even external gods like [] may be destroyed in it. If it swept into the [Seven Seas World] Shane suddenly felt a lot of pressure. The death of the [Apostle of Sin] does not mean that the world is safe. On the contrary, this may just be the tranquility before the storm. "We must improve our strength as soon as possible and collect more secrets related to [Damage of Black] and [Infernal Affairs]." Xia En clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! He felt it tangibly during the battle with the [Apostle of Sin]. His own strength is far from keeping up in this level of battle. If it weren''t for the support and control of legendary powerful men such as Killing King, Musa, and Heller, he would have no way to defeat the [Apostle of Sin]. In fact, Xia En''s promotion speed is actually incredibly fast. It took less than two years from just embarking on the secret path to becoming a legendary powerhouse. However, the enemies he encountered were getting stronger and stronger, which made his combat power somewhat insufficient. Constrain distracting thoughts in your heart. Shane began to touch another memory of light ball. The first thing that caught my eye was a dim and quiet square. In the center of the square, the crystal-shaped [Eternal Coffin] is placed there. With [Eternal Coffin] as the center, there are strange and mysterious patterns. Their specific rules are arranged to form a complex ritual. And what made Xia En''s pupils shrink. Standing in the center of the ritual is Laila! Obviously, this is the memory of Leila! Combining the [Eternal Coffin] and the rituals on the ground, Xia En is not difficult to guess. This is probably the memory of Leila when she trades with an existence in the words of King Xing. at this time. Laila said softly with a hint of hesitation on her face. "The external **** Azathus..." "Among the many external gods in the [The Secret Sea], they are also the most mysterious and terrifying existence." "Trading with Him may lead to a way to save the world, but the price it will have to be extremely heavy." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart slammed into a slap. Azathus? He had heard of the name of this god! In Shane''s original world, He was called... [The God of Blind and Ignorance]! Shane didn''t expect to hear His name here. Leila continued to murmur, "His identity, including this ritual, is the residual information in the [Coffin of Eternity]." "Has I, in that world, tried to communicate with Azathus?" "Or, is this a trap left by the external god?" After hesitating for a long time, Laila''s expression became firm. "Anyway, there is not much time left for me." "The King of Firewood has fallen into the trap of the [Apostle of Sin] and must find other ways." Thinking of this, Leila no longer hesitated and began to continue the ritual according to the information left in the [Eternal Coffin]. Her hands were slightly raised, and her fingertips were flashing with a faint light, as if communicating with some invisible force. Her eyes were hollow and deep, as if she had surpassed the boundaries of reality and entered another dimension. The next moment. On the ground, those strange and mysterious lines began to light up slowly, emitting a faint blue light. The light spread along the lines like flowing water, gradually lighting up the entire ritual. Xia En could feel a powerful energy flowing through the ritual, as if the entire space was trembling slightly. Suddenly, the [Coffin of Eternity] let out a low buzz. The coffin lid slowly opened, revealing a gap. From the gap, a cold breath came to my face. It seems that even time has frozen at this moment. Xia En''s breathing stagnated, and he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. It seems that there is something indescribable, and it is awakening from the coffin. In the dark, a great will that cannot be described in words came to Laila. He communicated with Laila in a way beyond understanding in a language that was not human. Leila''s body trembled slightly, as if under tremendous pressure. But she still stood firmly, staring at the invisible will. "Azathus..." Leila''s voice was low and hoarse, as if every word had consumed her great power. "I am willing to pay everything, just ask you to give me a way to save the world." The will did not respond immediately, but was silent like an abyss. The air in the entire square seemed to solidify, and even time became slow. Xia En felt his heartbeat roaring in his ears, as if the whole world was waiting for the result of this moment. Finally, that will slowly conveyed a piece of information. It was a message that acted directly on the soul and could not be described in words, but it allowed Laila and Shane to understand the meaning of it at the same time. "cost" "Your ''now''..." Leila''s pupils suddenly contracted, but they also felt a little puzzled. MyNow? It''s just the next moment. Three heavy shadows suddenly appeared on Laila''s body. One is an elf girl who looks like she is seven or eight years old. That was Laila''s past. A ghost, a translucent ghost, as if it might dissipate at any time. That is Laila''s future. And there is another one, which is what Laila looks like now. But now, she has a blank and unconscious eyes, as if she has lost her emotions and memories. Azathusburn is the embodiment of chaos and madness. Anyone who is close to this external **** will become blind and foolish. Memory and emotion are even more useless to Him. In the pain of the soul being torn apart, Laila couldn''t help but let out a cry of pain. But she also instantly understood what these three herself would encounter next. Her past would be cursed by this world because of her deal with Azathus, and from then on she would be burdened with the power of misfortune. Her future will be integrated with her self in another world and become the [Witch of Nirvana] sleeping in the [Coffin of Eternity]. And now she will leave the [Seven Seas World] forever and become a container and sacrifice for the [Blind God of Ignorance]. From then on, I became a person who is not himself. even so. Leila said gritting her teeth. "I...will accept the price." (End of this chapter) Chapter 418 The transformation of [Seven Seas World] Chapter 418 The transformation of [Seven Seas World]! The moment the words fell. The rituals on the ground burst out with strong light, and the entire square was shrouded in dark blue light. In the gap in the [Eternal Coffin], the cold aura became stronger and stronger, as if it was about to swallow everything. Leila''s figure began to become blurred, as if it was being stripped from reality. A faint smile appeared on her face, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes. She looked back. It''s like looking at Shane who is browsing this memory! "Sorry, Xiane." Her voice was like a candle in the wind, weak but clear. "After all, I... still failed to fulfill our agreement." The next moment. The entire memory scene fell apart. Xia En also returned to reality from memory. At this time, he was still above the ice sea. Around me are the closed [Eternal Coffin] and the An who has taken off his helmet. Looking at her familiar face. Shane finally understood the relationship between An, Vivian, and Leila. In essence, Ann and Vivian are actually part of Laila. However, for their own reasons, they became what they are today. Compared to Laila in the past, they have become completely independent individuals. That''s why Vivian would say. She is both Laila and not Laila. Xia En looked at An and asked with concern. "Is the curse and doom on you okay?" "It''s okay." An explained: "After the death of the Apostle of the Sin, the world will of the Seven Seas will focus on eliminating the anchor points left by the Immortal." "And the bad luck in me will be eliminated." "But there is one more thing that I must remind you." "As the blockade of the Immortal Sword is lifted from the Seven Seas World, the rules and states of this entire [Secret Realm] may undergo tremendous changes." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What does this mean?" An continued: "The power of the Immortal Mind has caused a terrible disaster, but it also stimulated the will of the Seven Seas World." Its like the muscles regenerate after being torn and become stronger and tougher. "After passing this disaster, the Seven Seas World will also usher in an amazing transformation." "For example, the adjacent [secret realm] that has a certain relationship with the Seven Seas World will be integrated with it." "For example, the laws of the entire world have been sublimated, and the upper limit level of the secret path master has been upgraded!" Xia En muttered to himself as if he was thinking. "Will the adjacent [secret realm] merge with the Seven Seas World?" The first thing he thought of was the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] he had explored before, as well as the [Elf Secret Realm] [Dragon Nest] after the migration of elves and dragons. If these [secret realms] are reintegrated into the Seven Seas World. Then, the area of ??the entire Seven Seas World will be several times larger than before! That''s when. boom- A low roar came from the depths of the ice sea, as if some huge force was awakening. The ice layer under Xia En''s feet trembled slightly, and the cracks spread rapidly like spider webs. He subconsciously took a step back and glanced around with vigilant eyes. "This is?" Shane asked with a frown. An''s expression also became solemn. She looked up at the sky, and the originally dark sky was now being torn apart by strange lights, as if countless light belts were passing through the clouds. Those lights are not simply bright lights, but rhythms of some regularity, as if reweaving the structure of the world. Not only Xia En and others, but all the legendary powerful men present, and even the [Far North Expeditionary Force] further away, all witnessed this shocking scene. "This...what is this?" Even with the vision of Musa and others, it was the first time that this incredible picture was seen. And soon, Mousa''s face changed. "My secret power..." He quickly realized that the connection between him and Lord Hui seemed to have become closer. It''s like a layer of obstacle that had been blocked between him and the gods, thinning? This allows Musa to more clearly sense the power contained in the light. Perceive it carefully for a moment. It seems that even the state of difficulty in progressing for decades has signs of looseness! Legends such as Thunder Lord and Old Man Xingchen also have similar feelings. The will of the world is reshaping the law. An explained softly: "After the power of the Immortal Mind is completely eliminated, the Seven Seas World finally ushered in its new life." "As it sublimates, the secret paths can benefit from it." "Especially for the strong men above the legend, the feeling will be more obvious." Shane asked, How long will this change last? "Don''t know." An shook his head: "The awakening of the will of the world is a complex process that may last for days, or even months." "But what is certain is that this transformation will make all creatures in the Seven Seas World stronger." Xia En looked into the sky in the distance. I saw some huge phantoms appearing in the gorgeous light belt, like huge land. That is exactly the manifestation of other [secret realms] gradually approaching the Seven Seas World. The fusion of several [secret realms] is just a matter of time. Musa and others on the side were moved by the way when they heard An''s words. The Thunder Lord sighed: "It seems that the Seven Seas World is about to usher in a new era." Moussa nodded, Yes, an era full of unknowns and possibilities. But we have to face it anyway. As he said, Mousa looked around Shane and the young legends around him and said loudly. "Young people, the future is yours!" "Now, we have fought the battle of glory, the road to travel has been completed, and the world has been guarded by us." "It''s time to return in triumph!" Hearing this, everyone showed an excited expression on their faces. They also had a long time to come to this cold and cold [Far Northland]. Now that the war has finally ended, I naturally want to leave as soon as possible. I don''t know who shouted first. "Let''s go home!" So, everyone shouted, "Let''s go home!" The sound echoed in the sea of ??ice and did not dissipate for a long time. After a moment. On the battlefield of [Far North Expeditionary Force]. At the moment when the sinful apostle was killed by Shane. The waves of filthy creatures that were originally surging quickly collapsed and dissipated, melting like ice and snow. The filthy secret power in their bodies disappeared with the removal of the world''s will from the filthy life. Those souls imprisoned in filthy bodies were finally relieved. At the same time, those [Black Flame Walker] who either followed or resisted the King of Fire. After [Dayan] disappeared, they all realized the fact that they had long died, and thus truly fell into a long sleep. Looking at the empty battlefield in front of you. The faces of many soldiers and soldiers on the battlefield could not help but show their expressions of surviving the disaster. Many people slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, their eyes full of fatigue and gratitude. Many of them were already ready to die here in battle. But at this moment, they survived. And, witnessed this great victory that was enough to be recorded in history with one''s own eyes. However, many people remained completely on this battlefield, and many ships completely sank here. This is a tragic and tragic victory! At this time, the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] Moritz broke one arm and his face turned pale, but his eyes were extremely firm. He announced to everyone, "Everyone, we... won this battle!" No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Moritz''s voice echoed in the cold wind, with an indescribable heaviness and solemnity. His words seemed to ignite the last flame remaining on the battlefield. Countless warriors raised their heads, their eyes flashed with complex emotions - sadness, fatigue, but more of the relief and pride after victory. "We won!" This sentence was like a ripple, spreading rapidly on the battlefield. At first there were only sporadic responses, and then gradually gathered into a deafening shout. "We won!" "We won!" The sound echoed over the ice sea, as if it was about to completely tear the cold world apart. Even though the joy of victory permeates the air, the scene on the battlefield is still heartbreaking. The ice layer was covered with broken ship wreckage, and the bodies of countless warriors were spread across it, and blood stained the white ice surface red. Those companions who once fought side by side now have been sleeping in this far north forever. Moritz''s eyes swept across the battlefield, and a trace of grief flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and ordered loudly: "Everyone obeys the order! Immediately count the casualties, treat the wounded, and recover the bodies of his comrades!" "We can''t let any hero stay on this ice field forever!" As the order was issued, the remaining soldiers acted quickly. Although their bodies were already exhausted, no one complained or stopped. They knew that this was the last respect for their deceased comrades. Soon, the legendary powerful men gathered with the others from the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. After a complicated and complicated inventory. A low horn sounded in the distance. That was the assembly call of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], which means that all survivors are about to embark on their way back. A corner of the ice sea. With the help of Joey and An, Shane returned to the deck of the [Black Swan]. At the end of the battle, he used his body to accommodate the extremely terrifying [power of nirvana]. The level of this power even exceeded the original upper limit of the Seven Seas World. It may take quite some time to heal the hidden wounds left by this secret power. However, Shane turned his head and looked at Ann, Joey, Feiya, Xiange and other crew members safely. A smile appeared on his face. In any case, they solved the crisis of destruction and survived it. As for Ms. Jian, it also takes some time to cultivate herself when she uses that rune. And on the ice field not far away. Dark Bing, holding the Fire King''s Fire Seed, was watching them with a smile. Xia En''s original idea was to take Dark Bing with him to leave [Leng Lie Sea]. But Anbing refused his invitation. Anbing said that she wanted to stay in the [Far Northland] for a while and go to the place where the [Great Yan Kingdom] was once located. Then, she might travel through the entire Seven Seas World with the King of Fire. Anbing had such a travel plan for a long time, but because King Xin was always busy and had no time to accompany her. And after the two broke up, there was even less chance. Now, it is undoubtedly the best time. It was also a late honeymoon trip. Xia En naturally respects Dark Ices decision. On the side, General Moritz was also among the ranks of seeing him off. "Captain Shane, I''ve heard of you." "You are an indispensable hero in this battle." Moritz said softly, with a hint of praise in his eyes. Xia En shook his head and his voice was deep, "This is not my credit alone." "We would not have succeeded without the sacrifices of Sinja King, Vivian, and everyone." Moritz nodded, his eyes swept across the battlefield in the distance, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. "Yes, their sacrifices will not be forgotten." History will remember them, remember this battle. "I plan to erect monuments for all the victims in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], and erect on the [Far North Land] and [Lili Island], so that later generations can remember this war." "After this, the Federation will hold a medal ceremony, so Captain Shane is sure to be present." "Are you awarded a medal?" Xia En was not surprised by this. In advance, the Seven Seas Federation promised generous rewards to the [Far North Expeditionary Force] and those involved in the infiltrating operation. And now, it is naturally time to fulfill it. Even for the Seven Seas Federation, this is a huge fortune. But Shane believes that the federal government will not withhold the rewards from heroes. At this time. Colonel Gold came over with Carles'' support. He was seriously injured in the previous battle, his breath fell into legend and may never be able to break through again. But he survived. Gold walked onto the deck and patted Shane on the shoulder, "Captain Shane, what are your plans next?" Xia En was silent for a moment, looking into the distance: "Although the apostle of the Sin was defeated, [] still exists." As long as He is still there, the [Seven Seas World] will never be truly safe. "I must find a way to completely end His threat." "Also, the remnants of the [Truth Society] have not been eliminated completely, which is also a big hidden danger." Gold nodded, Its true. "But now you need a rest." Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on Gold''s face. "Captain Shane seems to have promised me before to take good care of my daughter, right?" "ah?" Xia En was stunned for a moment, but still responded: "That''s right..." "Then, Carles will leave it to you from now on." As he said that, Gold patted Carles beside her and signaled her to walk forward. Carles was not shy or timid, and walked directly to Shane. "Captain Shane, please give me some advice in the future!" This means. From now on, Carles has officially become a crew member of the Black Swan. Soon, the people who saw off left the deck one after another. [Black Swan] set sail again and headed towards the center of the Seven Seas World. In the sky, those strange lights were still flashing, as if lighting up the way forward for their return. (End of this chapter) Chapter 419 Famous for the seven seas! Awarding cere Chapter 419 Famous in the seven seas! Awarding ceremony! A few days later. News of the victory of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] has spread everywhere in every corner of [Seven Seas World]. Countless people cheered for it and shed tears for it. The world-destroying disaster that had caused countless civilians to panic and uneasy was finally eliminated at this moment. Because of the members of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], they come from all over the [Seven Seas World]. Therefore, when they returned, many details and rumors about this battle were spread across every sea area. Among them, the deeds of ten members of the infiltrated operation, as well as legendary powerful men such as Sinner King, Heller, and Musa in the final battle, were most widely circulated. For a moment. These heroes who saved the world became famous and their reputation spread to the seven seas. Among them, Captain [Black Swan] and Xia En''s name shines like bright stars in every corner of [Seven Seas World]. He not only played a key role in infiltrating the operation. In the final decisive battle, he fought side by side with the powerful, killed the [Apostle of Sin] with his own hands, successfully preventing the arrival of the disaster of destruction. It can be said. Xia En is the living legend of [Seven Seas World]! As Xia En became famous in Qihai, some of his past deeds, including his place of making a fortune [Duke Island], were discovered by the good people on Qihai. Only then did people find it surprised. From Shane becoming a secret pathist and making his mark, to participating in this far north expedition, it has been less than two years in total! What a stunning talent! With Xia En''s reputation as hell, [Duke Island] has also become a hot topic in [Seven Seas World]. This once unknown island has attracted the attention of countless adventurers, businessmen and scholars because of Xiaen. They set foot on this land one after another, trying to find out the secret of Shane''s rise. [Duke Island] in [Wind and Wave Tavern]. These days, the business of this tavern has been several times more popular than before. The tavern owner, Bi Si, was so happy. The golden dragon coins she has earned in the past few days are more than what she has earned in the past few decades! But even so. Biss did not take the initiative to tell her former friendship with Xia En, nor did she use this as a gimmick to attract customers. But occasionally, guests heard it, and the proprietress sighed softly. "I didn''t expect that little guy has grown to this point now..." "Ha...I had the chance to trick him into bed back then!" As for the former crew members of the [Black Swan]. Now, it is definitely unrealistic to say that there is no regret. But on the other hand. Now Xia''s level is too far away from them. Even if the old crew members such as Reinate could not look up at Xia En''s back, they could no longer do it. In this situation, they felt relieved. Some crew members even felt that having had such an experience with Shane was something to be proud of. Compared to trivial matters such as fame and prestige. What made the civilians on the Seven Seas even more concerned and shocked. After the death of the [Apostle of Sin], the secret power of the entire [Seven Seas World] seemed to become even stronger! Almost all secret paths can feel that their strength and rank have improved significantly. Even some ordinary people who do not have the qualifications to become secret paths have embarked on the secret path and become extraordinary under the influence of the transformation of the world! Those high-level secret paths who were already strong have many people who broke through the ranks. Such a breakthrough phenomenon is particularly obvious among the people returning from the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. This is because they have experienced the harsh tests of the far north and faced many dangers and challenges. Their will and strength have long been tempered on the brink of life and death. Therefore, when the world''s secret power becomes more intense, their breakthroughs appear particularly rapid and significant. Several legendary powerful men emerged. It can be said that this is the largest breakthrough wave of secret paths in history! If you insist on saying it, it is a bit like the "resurrection of aura" in some novels. And the [Far North Expeditionary Force] is the first group of people to enjoy this dividend. This change is not only an improvement in personal strength, but also a reshuffle of the entire [Seven Seas World] power system. at the same time. Another major event that shocked the Qihai. It is the fusion of [Seven Seas World] and several [Secret Realms]. A captain discovered that strange islands appeared out of thin air in the originally familiar sea area. It seems that there are creatures that do not belong to the [Seven Seas World]. Someone discovered that a dark sea water was emerging from the depths of the [Sea of ??Nirvana], forming a new and unknown sea area. A strange and terrifying monster wanders in that sea. Someone discovered that a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the originally calm sea area, and the vortex seemed to be connecting another world. Even many people heard ancient roars from time to time in the sky. According to some secret paths. That was the roar of the ancient dragon! This means that the [Secret Realm] called [Dragon Nest] is constantly approaching the [Seven Seas World]. Various forces in the [Seven Seas World] began to act quickly, trying to explore these newly emerging [Secret Lands] and sea areas. Businessmen smelled business opportunities, while adventurers saw new opportunities. Scholars are busy studying the causes and effects behind these changes. Anyone realizes that [Seven Seas World] has ushered in a brand new era! Just when such a major change occurred in [Seven Seas World]. On [Lilac Island]. A long-prepared medal ceremony is about to be held. This award ceremony is not only to reward the survivors in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], but also to commemorate the victims who died in the war. The port of [Liuli Island] is now filled with ships from all over the Qihai. The flags were flying and the people were roaring. It seemed as if the whole world was focusing on this island. The streets on the island are decorated with lights and the air is filled with the atmosphere of celebration. But under this excitement, you can still feel a hint of solemnity and solemnity. The venue for the award ceremony is located in the central square of [Lili Island]. There are tall stone pillars around the square, with ancient legends and heroic deeds of [Seven Seas World] being carved on them. In the middle of the square, a huge stone tablet stands tall. The stone tablet is engraved with the names of the soldiers who died in the [Expedition to the Extreme North]. In front of the stone tablet, rows of neat seats are placed, waiting for the heroes who are about to receive honor. clang- As the bell rang, the crowd in the square gradually became quiet. Representatives of the major forces of the [Seven Seas World] and many captains gathered here to witness this historic moment. The first person to appear on stage was General Moritz, the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. His voice was low and powerful, slowly telling the hardships and sacrifices of the expedition, and telling the warriors who fought in the far north until the last moment. His words were filled with respect and condolences, and the atmosphere at the scene was solemn. After talking about the deeds of the [Far North Expeditionary Force], Moritz announced. "The award ceremony... officially begins!" The first to take office were the legendary powerful men who participated in the final decisive battle. Without the support of these strong men, the [Far North Expeditionary Force] might have suffered heavy casualties at the hands of filthy creatures. And in the battle against the [Apostle of Sin], they also played a restraining role. Moussa, Thunder Lord, Star Old Man and others will appear on stage together after ordinary legends. In the audience, Musa looked at the stone tablet not far away, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes. Mr. Heller of [The Secret Sect], although he has always been his old rival, has also caused considerable trouble to the Hui Sect. But when Musa thought that he would never see this old rival again in the future, he couldn''t help feeling lonely. But at this moment. A hand stretched out from the shadow behind Moussa and patted him on the shoulder. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "Hi, old man!" Then Mr. Heller''s figure appeared. He asked with a joke, "You don''t think I''m dead, so you''re sad, right?" "No, no, no?" Moussa was startled by the sudden sound. Then he turned around and saw Mr. Heller''s face with a playful smile, and he was immediately amazed and crying. "You guy..." Moussa shook her head, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I really thought you died in the far north." Mr. Heller shrugged and said lightly, "Oh, how could I die so easily?" "Besides, if you die like this, wouldn''t it be that you, the old man, have a missing opponent? That won''t work!" But soon Moussa realized that Mr. Heller''s breath was extremely weak, less than one percent of the original one. He asked immediately with a frown. "Your rank..." Heller waved his hand disregardedly. "After all, that battle also caused me to lose 90% of my clones. How could it be possible without paying a little price?" "However, I''m lucky to survive." As he said that, Heller looked at the dense names on the stele. Behind each name is a soldier who died for this battle. Compared to these people, Heller, who can survive, is indeed considered lucky. Heller patted Moussa on the shoulder: "Let''s go, old man, it''s our turn soon." "But don''t steal my limelight later." Moussa snorted, "It''s not certain who steals the limelight." The two looked at each other and then walked towards the stage side by side. When the crowd in the square saw the two legendary powerful men appearing on stage together, warm applause and cheers burst out. [Sutra Sect] stands side by side with the big figures of [Hui Sect], which is a scene that may not be possible once in a century. After that, the three people who sneaked into the [Dayan] operation. Benny, William, Latiewen. After this period of cultivation, Benny''s aura has broken through the legend and his strength has improved again. And Latiwen''s temperament is becoming more sacred and pure, giving people a translucent texture. William''s injuries have healed and his spirit has been refreshed. At present, all three of them have become popular rising stars among their respective forces and are highly valued. However, after awarding the three of them a special medal, the people in the audience quickly realized one thing. What about the others who survived the infiltration? Especially... Where is that Captain Shane? Just as there was a little uproar from the audience. Moritz said, "Originally, this most precious medal should be given to Captain Shane, the hero who performed the most outstandingly in the expedition in the Far North." "However, it is regrettable that Captain Shane now has a more important mission to do, so he cannot be present." "He told me that this honor belongs to all those who fight for the [Seven Seas World]." "One of those comrades who have left, and also of everyone who is still protecting this sea area!" Moritz''s words were short but loud. The applause from the audience surged like a tide, and it continued for a long time. At the end of the ceremony, Moritz said again. "In this expedition, there is another hero that cannot be ignored, that is... King of Fire and his [Great Yan Kingdom]!" "We would not have won this battle without them." "And, in fact, they saved the world once thousands of years ago..." Soon, Moritz talked about the past of King Xin and [Great Yan Kingdom] saving the world. This past is once buried in the dust of history and no one knows it. But this time. But Moritz did not forget it and also made it public on the Seven Seas. From then on, people will remember that there was a [Great Yan Kingdom] in the world. It is that country that protects this world at its own cost! Just when the medal ceremony was held on [Liuli Island]. Someone who is caring, curious and admired by many people lies peacefully on a recliner on the deck of the [Black Swan]. The warm sunshine blew down, and the gentle sea breeze blew by. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the peace, peace and beauty of this moment. The reason why he did not attend the award ceremony was simple. That''s... Tired! After such a protracted and extremely difficult battle. Xia En had been exhausted both physically and mentally. In addition, the remaining hidden injuries in the body have not healed yet, going to [Liuli Island] may also attract unnecessary attention from others. Xia En simply did not attend the ceremony. After fighting for such a long time, can he still enjoy it? However, the medal of [Light of the North] given by this award has long been given to Xia En. The medal appears in a deep silver-gray color, with a circle of fine runes embedded on the edges. The rune''s lines appear and appear in the light, as if they are flowing like life. In addition to the honorary meaning of this [Far North Light] symbol, you can enjoy extremely generous treatment when trading with the Federation. It can even be used to call a whole medium-sized navy. Not only that, the Seven Seas Federation also gave Major General Xia''en the rank of military general as promised. If he is willing to act for the Federal Navy, he can always be the youngest general in the Federation! This kind of honor is even more exaggerated than Colonel Gold. However, Xia En refused such a request. He has more important things to do than becoming a general of the navy. (End of this chapter) Chapter 420 【Law of Void】【Legend Title】 Chapter 420 [Law of Void] [Legend Title] Lying on the deck and enjoying the rare peaceful time. Xia En''s thoughts fluctuated. Although the [Apostle of Sin] is dead, the crisis of the world-destroying disaster has been temporarily lifted. However, this does not mean that he can enjoy the rest of his life. Lets not talk about the more distant and terrifying [Dark Disaster]. and other His apostles may invade the Seven Seas World again at any time. Besides. Xia En did not forget the transaction between Laila and the [Blind God of Idiot]. Based on the memories he saw. Leila was divided into three. Her past and future became An and Vivian respectively. But her "now" was taken away by the [Blind God of Idiot] and disappeared. At the same time, her "now" has also lost her original memory and is likely to become an existence completely unfamiliar to Xia En. But even so. Shane couldn''t give up looking for Laila. And about where Laila is going When she broke through the legend before, Laila''s message in the [Secret Sea] showed that she seemed to have left some of the information in the [Secret Realm] where the elves are now in? Because of this. During this period, Xia En has been patiently waiting and inquiring about the information about the [Elf Secret Realm]. However, if you really want to explore the [Elf Secret Realm], you have to wait until his injuries healed. Speaking of legends, we have to mention the changes in Xia En''s strength after breaking through the legend. When he fought the decisive battle with the [Apostle of Sin]. Due to the urgent situation, Shane didn''t have time to check the prompts on the panel. But these days, he has enough free time to examine his transformation after the breakthrough. Among the column information on the panel, the most obvious change is the improvement of comprehensive quality. [Comprehensive quality: 3767! That''s right, compared to before, it''s basically an increase in single digits. After breaking through the legend this time, Xia En''s comprehensive quality soared by 30! Almost doubled! It can be imagined that the improvement of the realm of legend is so great. This is a kind of sublimation and transformation at the level of life. [The Apostle of the Sin] The saying that "If you don''t have a legend, you will eventually be an ant" does make some sense. And, you have to know. Before breaking through the legend, Xia En was able to defeat ordinary legendary powerhouses. Once he made a breakthrough, he became the best among the legendary strong men. Although he has never really competed, Xia En felt that he could have some two moves with a strong man like Musa. However, this time, Xia En did not unlock a new profession. Xia En was a little confused at first, but after careful consideration, he quickly came to the conclusion The so-called [Secret Path Career] system is just an extraordinary system unique to [Seven Seas World]. He has seen other promotion paths in other [Secret Realms]. Obviously, it is impossible for each [Secret Realm] to be divided according to the profession of [Seven Seas World]. After breaking through to the legend, the extraordinary person has the initial qualification to walk in the [Secret Sea] without being limited to a single [Secret Realm]. Since it is an existence that transcends the [secret realm], it naturally cannot be measured according to the original secret path profession. However, on the panel, several new lines appear. Rule: Void (5%), Death (1%) Title: None yet The former is not difficult to understand. It is nothing more than the power of the laws that Xia En mastered after he was promoted to the legend. The subsequent progress is his control over the power of the law, and the higher the control. It means that the deeper he understands and uses this law, the stronger the power he can exert. As for the [Title] column. Xia En was also a little confused, but fortunately the panel gave his own comments. [Note: When the imprint left by the legendary powerhouse on the "Great Law" is clear to a certain extent, it will receive a "title" and receive a gift of some kind! [The more widely the "title" is spread, the stronger the "Great Law" gives the extraordinary power or bonus! To be honest, this is the first time Xia En heard of this statement. But I think of the [Thunder Lord] [Old Man of Stars] I met before. Thinking about it now, these are their [titles]! This is probably because of this reason why they are more accustomed to using their [title] rather than their real name. Another thing that surprised Xia En was a little bit. In addition to the [Law of Death] given after the battle with the undead Hanno. He broke through the legend and relied on the [Law of Void]! Although Xia En also guessed that this must be related to his [Void Secret Power]. But Xia En is still confused about what kind of law [Law of Void] is. However, Shane is still very clear about its specific application. Xia En opened his palms and a small tiny black hole was slowly rotating in his hand. It seems small, but in fact it has a trembling and dangerous atmosphere. What is contained in this small black hole is the power of the void. This skill is called [Void Collapse]. It can be regarded as an upgraded version of the previous [Big Dark Sky] effect. A miniature black hole can pull all the surrounding matter in crazily and swallow the secret power around it. The effect is extremely domineering. Another skill that Xia En unlocks is called [Void Echo]. Echo of the Void Quality: Legend Genre: Skill [Description: You can echo with the remaining information in the void. [Therefore, to a certain extent, see the past of something, or some hidden information. [Your perception of spatial fluctuations is becoming clearer and your range is greatly increased. Used with "Secret Eyes" will have unexpected miraculous effects. Compared with [Void Collapse], a highly aggressive skill. [Echo of the Void] is obviously a more resolute ability to reconnaise and perceive. In addition to the existence of [Pupil of Secrets], Xia En can obtain more information and crack more [Secrets]. Although Xia En broke through the legend, it does not mean that he has lost the profession of [Secret Keeper]. Every hidden profession and talent of his will not disappear due to breakthroughs in the rank. Instead, it is in a state of existence at the same time. Therefore, Xia En can still use the help of cracking [Secret] to get gifts and improve his strength. In addition to these obvious changes, Shane also felt that there was some subtle change in his body and soul. His perceptions became sharper and his thinking became clearer, as if the whole world had become more three-dimensional and richer in his eyes. This change is not only an improvement in power, but also a deeper understanding of the essence of the world. Just when Xia En''s thoughts fluctuate. "Captain Shane!" Not far away, a crisp call came. On the deck, Joey with white hair and red eyes walked over. Her steps were light and elegant, with white hair shining silver in the sun, and a lively light flashing in her red pupils. Compared with her previous temperament, she has a little more calmness and confidence, as if she has experienced a transformation. With the transformation of [Seven Seas World], Joey naturally benefited a lot from it. At this time, her rank had already broken through to the sixth level! It''s no longer far from the legend. at the same time. What Shane had previously worried that Joey would be infected by divine sexuality, becoming unlike her own situation, and did not continue to worsen. On the contrary, Joey even began to gradually master this divinity and use it for his own use. Her unique temperament is a proof of this transformation. Those who walked with Joey were An who took off his helmet. Without worrying about the curse of doom. An could completely remove the armor that was in trouble. But I just said that she was used to wearing this armor, and she was a little uncomfortable if she didn''t wear it suddenly. So, after she did a deep cleaning of her armor, she put it back on. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! But now, when you are on the [Black Swan], Anhui takes off his helmet and lives. Looking at the beautiful face that was exactly the same as Leila, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. Thinking about it now, he still felt a little incredible. Leila, who he had been pursuing, had long become his crew. If you have to count the time point. It must be before Shane really knows Laila. This has to make people sigh at the wonders of the law of time. But even so. Shane knew that An was both Laila and not Laila. A person''s personality is composed of experience and memory. From the exchange between Xia En and An, she did not remember most of Laila''s memories, but only vaguely remembered some vague clips. More of her memory is that she was adopted, trained as a knight, and even became a crew member of Shane. So, in Ans self-awareness, she is An, not Laila. The same goes for it. Although Vivian has Laila''s memory, she also tends to see herself as Laila in another world. It can be said. By now, Vivian, Laila and An have become completely independent individuals. It can only be said to be three similar flowers. They have their own personalities, their own choices, and even their feelings for Xia En are different. "Captain Shane, what are you in a daze?" Joey walked over to Shane and patted him on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts. Xia En came to his senses and smiled: "It''s nothing, I''m just thinking about something." Joey blinked and asked with his head tilted, "Are you thinking about Laila?" After the war, Shane told her the story of Layla, so Joey had this question. Shane nodded, not hiding it: "Yes, although An and Vivian are by our side." "But Leila''s ''now'' is gone, I have to find her." An said, "I can feel..." "The [Secret Realm] where the elves are located is getting closer and closer, and may soon merge with [Seven Seas World]." An''s words paused and continued. "However, in the remaining memories in my mind, the elf [Secret Realm] seems to have been imposed with a special barrier." "Its original intention is to protect the elves [Secret Realm] from invasion and contamination by [Defiled Apostles]." "But now, it has become an obstacle to the fusion of the elves [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World]." If it is allowed to be eliminated naturally, it may take decades or even hundreds of years. Upon hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly. "Is it a special barrier..." This is indeed a big problem. He didn''t have that long time to wait for the barrier of the [Elf] secret realm to disappear on its own. Thinking of this, Xia En called the most knowledgeable Ms. Jian on the ship. These days passed. Not only did Jane recover from injuries, but her breath also improved again. After that battle, I witnessed so many collisions of the power of laws, coupled with the increase in the concentration of secret power. Jian, who could already break through the legend at any time, was naturally promoted to the legend and became the second legendary powerhouse on the [Black Swan]. And after listening to Xia En''s words. Jian touched his chin and thought, "Does it wrap the entire barrier of [Secret Realm]?" "This kind of barrier does not seem to be able to be broken by conventional means." "Like the previous secret realm teleportation rituals, I''m afraid they will be isolated." Shane asked, "Then is there any way to get in there?" Jian pondered for a moment and said. "There is still some." "Captain Shane, I wonder if you have ever heard of it. There is a very famous artifact on the Seven Seas, called..." "Fate Weaving Shuttle!" "It is said that it is the instrument of the goddess of destiny, which can weave a portal to a specific [secret realm]." "If you find it, you may be able to directly shuttle into the Elf [Secret Realm]." "But, this artifact has been missing in the Seven Seas for many years." "I don''t know if the power of the Federation can be used to find it..." Xia En is now under the title of the Seven Seas Heroes. If such a request is made to the Federation, it will probably be met. But the worst case scenario is. Even if the federal intelligence network is mobilized, this long-lost magical artifact cannot be found. Shane was frowning and thinking. Qiange on the side heard their conversation and walked over quickly. "You just said... [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" "I''ve heard of this name!" Shane looked at the string song in surprise: "Where is it?" After strenuous songs tried to recall, they said. "I remember, this magical artifact seemed to be... taken away by an ancient dragon." "And I should be very familiar with that dragon..." "Aunt Dragon?" Xia En suddenly came to his senses. Since we mentioned the ancient dragon, we have to mention the rumors that the ancient dragon roared in the sky that have been circulating in the seven seas recently. This means that the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] where the ancient dragon is located is rapidly approaching to the [Seven Seas World]. So much so that Gu Long, who had disappeared from Qihai, broke into people''s sight again. And if it really is what the string song says. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] This artifact was taken away by an ancient dragon. Then, it is likely to exist now in the [Secret Realm] of [Dragon Nest]! Moreover, [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] itself is closely related to string songs. In order to get the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], it seems that it is imperative to go to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]! So Xia En asked, "Xiange, can you sense where [Dragon Nest] is?" "certainly!" Qiange raised his little head and made a brisk dragon sound. "Dragon Nest is summoning me!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 421 The transformation of [Rhine Secret Real Chapter 421 The Transformation of [Rhine Secret Realm] "Dragon Nest is summoning me!" After making a crisp dragon sound. Xian Ge suddenly transformed from a petite loli to transform into a bronze dragon with a length of more than ten meters. Its body is long and agile, its muscle lines are smooth and full of strength, and every muscle seems to contain endless energy. The surface of the bronze scales has delicate and mysterious textures, as if recording the vicissitudes of time. The pair of long crown-like horns above Xian Ge''s head became increasingly prominent and obvious. After the war, the string song also transformed with the transformation of [Seven Seas World]. Ancient races such as ancient dragons and elves are originally the favorites of [Seven Seas World]. The power of the origin of the world flows in their blood. With the recovery and sublimation of the world, the power of string songs has also reached a new level. Now she is approaching the legendary realm infinitely, and she still vaguely shows a bit of the majesty and strength of the past. Looking at the string song in front of you. Xia En couldn''t help but associate her image at this time with the bronze dragon that she had seen in the memory scene and was sleeping in the long sleep. Now. Xia En also guessed the reason why string songs turned into [Ancient Dragon''s Egg]. On [Silent Time], there is [Power of Time and Space] similar to the Bronze Dragon. I think it was probably Leila who borrowed the power of string songs to create the existence of [Sudden Time]. At the cost, Xian Ge degenerated into the state of [Ancient Dragon''s Egg]. Thinking of this, Xia En felt a little guilty or two more when he looked at Xian Ge. If you insist on saying this, this matter has something to do with him. But at this time. Xian Ge obviously didn''t care about such trivial matters. She spread her huge dragon wings, and her bronze scales shone with mysterious light in the sun. The wings swayed gently and a strong wind blew up. The surrounding sea swayed, as if paying tribute to her. Xian Ge''s eyes were like two dazzling gems, revealing a deep light, as if they could see through the end of time and space. roar- She let out another dragon sound, with endless majesty and power in her voice. Her body hovered in the air, as if it was integrated with the heaven and earth. Every time I wave my wings, it is accompanied by a low dragon roar, as if echoing the call of [Dragon''s Nest]. Xia En saw that Xian Ge was communicating with [Dragon Nest] in this way, thus sensing the direction of this [Secret Realm]. "Finished!" Soon, Xian Ge''s eyes lit up suddenly and he looked in a direction in the distance. "Captain Shane, come with me." After saying that, Xian Ge vibrated his wings and galloped in that direction. Seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate and controlled the [Black Swan] to follow Xiange. Xiange seemed to have become the navigator of the [Black Swan] and led them to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. but. Even if you have a string song to lead the way, it will not take you one or two days to arrive at the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Xia En simply handed over the sailing mission to Ship Soul Xiao Hei, and he activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the silver gate to [Rhine Secret Realm]. With a silver light flashing in front of me. A brief sense of weightlessness came. When Xia En opened his eyes again, he came to the main city of [Rhine Secret Realm], in [Rhine City]. At this time, [Rhine City] was very different from when it was first established. The originally simple wooden houses and stone buildings have been replaced by more magnificent and exquisite buildings. The towering towers, arches carved with complex patterns, and the metal and mechanical creations in the city all highlight the prosperity and progress of the city. After some dwarves in the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm] were sent to the [Rhine Secret Realm], the smelting and forging skills of [Rhine City] quickly improved. Under the guidance of those craftsmen. The buildings of [Rhine City] are not only built more atmospheric and exquisitely, but also all kinds of minerals produced in [Secret Land] come in handy. The residents in the city also replaced them with a new batch of armor and weapons. And on the streets in the distance, people come and go. The figures of various races are intertwined, the Yongyue tribe, the dwarf, the tree people... They either talk, trade, or hurry up, and the whole city is full of vitality. Xia En stood under the shade of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and took a deep breath. [Rhine Secret Realm] The vitality of air poured into his nose, making him feel indescribable and comfortable. As the Lord of Rhine, there is an indescribable connection between Shane and the [Secret Land of Rhine]. He could clearly sense that the [Rhine Secret Realm] was conveying his intimate and love emotions to himself. It''s just like the time when the Black Swan had just sprouted the soul of the ship. I think this is the will of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. And other than that. Xia En also realized that the secret power of the entire [Rhine Secret Realm] seemed to be constantly increasing. The concentration of secret power gradually increased, and the vitality that was originally filled with as if it was about to overflow, felt a new feeling. It is not difficult for Xia En to guess that this phenomenon is probably related to two things. First, it is the improvement of his own rank. As the Lord of Rhine, who is closely related to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Shane breaks through to the legend and leaves his own mark on the Great Law. [Rhine Secret Realm] also gained certain benefits. Another point. Nature is the sublimation of [Seven Seas World]. Although according to Xia En''s observation, [Rhine Secret Realm] does not have a tendency to integrate with [Seven Seas World]. However, Shane discovered that [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] seem to have some original connection. This connection is likely to be related to the source of the two secret realms, [Secret Sea Air Beast]. one way or another. The changes in [Rhine Secret Realm] are always a good thing. Over the past period of time, batches of promoted extraordinary people have emerged in the [Secret Realm]. Whether it is the Yongyue tribe, the dwarf or the Chuhu people, their physical fitness, strength and spirit have been significantly improved. Especially the few tree elders who were already close to the legend before, they vaguely tend to break through the legend. The overall strength of all residents has made great progress. Xia En''s idea of ??pulling out an army anytime and anywhere is now almost coming true. "Son of the Holy Son!" A familiar call came from behind, and Xia En looked back and saw that it was Sha Jingjing. She was wearing a simple but mysterious white robe. This is the saint costume prepared by the [Yongyue Clan] for her. However, Sha Jingjing''s ears and tail kept shaking, instantly destroying the temperament of the saint. Her face was full of excitement, and she was obviously resisting the urge to pounce. Xia En''s mouth twitched. You are a wolf or not a dog! However, Xia En was already used to the style of sand and crystal shattering, and asked. "How is the situation in [Rhine Secret Realm] during this period?" Sha Jingjing immediately replied, "Everything is fine." "The dwarves'' forging skills have greatly improved our equipment level, and the herbs cultivated by the trees also provide us with strong logistical support." "With everyone''s efforts, the entire city has been built more solid and magnificent." "And, in addition to Indyx, several newborns have been born in [Rhine City]." When he said this, Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En expectantly. She had long wanted to mate with the Holy Son and breed a group of excellent children. Its a pity that Xia En didnt agree for a long time, so he failed to succeed. Xia En just pretended that Sha Jingjing hadn''t seen it and continued to ask. "How is Indyx now?" A trace of resentment flashed in Sha Jingjing''s eyes, but she replied. "Indyx is fine now." "The blood power in her body seemed to have undergone some strange transformation, making her much stronger than ordinary newborns." No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "A few months after being born, Indyx already has the power of a first-level secret path." Shane touched his chin: "This should be related to the previous name." As the first newborn of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Naturally, he was favored by [Secret Realm Will], and coupled with the name of Xia En, the [Lord of Rhine], it is normal to show some different things from ordinary people since childhood. Afterwards, Xia En asked Sha Jingjing some things about [Rhine City] one after another. Sha Jingjing also answered one by one. During his time when he was not in the [Rhine Secret Realm], Sha Jingjing was basically equivalent to the acting lord of the [Rhine City], and was responsible for many affairs in the city. This is the answer. Dont look like Sha Jingjing looks like this in front of Xia En. But in the eyes of residents of [Rhine City], Sha Jingjing is a real saint and has a very noble status. It is an existence where people will deliver gifts when walking in the city. However, it is obvious that the increasing number of management personnel is not an easy task. Thinking of this, Xia En patted Sha Jingjing on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work during this period." "Not hard!" Sha Jingjing shook her head, but being praised by Xia En obviously made her feel very happy. Her eyes looked at Xia En were full of gratitude and respect. "Sir Shane, we can come from [Sand Island] to [Rhine Secret Land] and build a new home relying on your protection and guidance." "We [Yongyue Clan] will always remember your kindness." Shane shook his head: "I just made some small contributions." To avoid Sha Jingjing continuing this topic. Shane continued to ask, "So, has there been any problems with [Rhine Secret Realm] recently?" Sha Jingjing hesitated and said. "There is no big problem, but..." We found some weird signs. "A strange sign?" Xia En frowned slightly: "What is it?" Sha Jingjing explained: "In the forest farther away from [Rhine City], some traces of unknown creatures appeared." "There are some similarities to the last time the beast tide came, but there are also obvious differences." "Traces of unknown creatures..." Xia En pondered for a moment, his expression a little serious. He knew that there were actually a group of ancient and mysterious indigenous peoples in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. They are hidden in dense forests, mountains and lakes deep in the secret realm, isolated from the world and rarely come into contact with the outside world. Even the [Yongyue people] and the dwarves rarely have the chance to see their traces. Moreover, these indigenous people obviously have considerable hostility towards outsiders such as Xia En. The first beast tide was the control of this group of indigenous people behind the scenes. If they plan to launch an attack on Rhine City... Shane opens the panel. His eyes swept across it. [Secret Realm Exploration: 18.9%! He once speculated that every stage of the increase in the exploration of the secret realm may lead to some unknown disaster. Now, it is the moment when the exploration level is about to reach 20%. This seems to prove that his previous guess was correct. Just don''t know... Is this disaster just a coincidence, or is it some kind of assessment from [The Secret Sea]? Moreover, in what form will this disaster that will come to [Rhine Secret Realm] occur? Many distracting thoughts flashed in his heart, but Xia En''s face remained silent and ordered Sha Jingjing. "You continue to send people to pay attention to the traces of those unknown creatures, and let me know anytime if there is any new discovery." "At the same time, accelerate the training progress of the [Rhine City] army and the forging of weapons and equipment." "Maybe in a while, there will be a tough battle waiting for us." Although Xia En''s current strength has broken through the legend. But this does not mean that he can underestimate the disaster in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. He had a premonition in his heart that the first beast tide was just the most common test. The real danger is still ahead! Only by improving the overall strength of [Rhine City] as soon as possible can you survive such a disaster. Sha Jingjing nodded heavily: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" Not long. Xia En, accompanied by Sha Jingjing, wandered around in [Rhine City]. There are many things that are difficult to explain clearly, and only by seeing them with your own eyes can you understand them clearly. However, in order to avoid attracting the attention of other people, Xia En made simple disguise. Soon, the two of them came to the streets of Rhine City. Walk on this street in person. Only then did Xia En feel the transformation of [Rhine City] more clearly. The spacious and tidy roads, the bustling market, the widely used steam engines, and the scene of mixed living in different races... look extremely harmonious and prosperous. And outside the city. The workshop built by the dwarves is being forged vigorously. The heat waves inside were rushing, and the fire was raging. These dwarves who smuggled from the [Secret Realm of the Melting Furnace] have quickly adapted to the life of the [Secret Realm of the Rhine]. After all, compared to the [Milt Furnace Secret Realm], which never sees the light of day and is dangerous and hot underground space. The environment of [Rhine Secret Land] can almost be described as "paradise"! Living in the [Rhine Secret Land] is simply the dream of dwarves for generations! Even if you need to do tasks such as ironwork and forging, you are allowed to live in the [Rhine City]. But then again. In the [Secret Realm of the Melting Furnace], dont they have to forge weapons and equipment every day in order to survive? Therefore, when it comes to motivation for work, the dwarves are the most prosperous and strong among the ethnic groups. After glanced at the scene inside the workshop, Xia En nodded secretly. With his experience in playing business strategy games. For a whole [secret realm], population alone is not enough. Only by climbing the technology tree and mining forging can we walk fast and steadily. (End of this chapter) Chapter 422 [Obs of the Second Disaster] [Glorious L Chapter 422 [Omen of the Second Disaster] [Land of Glory] Shane stopped outside the workshop for a moment, watching the dwarves skillfully waving their hammers, sparks splashing. The sound of metal collisions is endless. Their skills are exquisite, and each forged weapon and armor exudes a unique luster, which is obviously of high quality. The dwarfs forging skills are indeed extraordinary. Xia En sighed in a low voice. The dwarf''s craftsmanship, coupled with the specialty of [Rhine Secret Realm], and various high-end materials he harvested from the Seven Seas. The equipment created is naturally extraordinary. Especially for warriors like the [Yongyue Clan] who rely on their physical bodies to fight, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have more lives. If you insist on saying anything has its shortcomings. That''s... The yield is too low! Or, there are not enough dwarf craftsmen. Thinking of this, Xia En touched his chin. "It seems that you have to go to the [Mulched Furnace Secret Realm] again, and the more turning points of the dwarfs are back." It has been a while since Xia En last visited the [Melting Furnace Secret Realm]. It was mainly a group of people in the [Far North], and they were wasting too much time when they fought with [Dayan] and [The Apostle of the Sin]. He didn''t forget to help the Warhammer Tribe retrieve other [Ancestor Totem Fragments]. And obviously, with the recovery of [Totem Fragments]. The dwarves of the Warhammer Tribe also became more trusting and respectful to Xia En. At that time, maybe you can migrate the entire Warhammer Tribe to the [Rhine Secret Realm] for your own use. Thinking about these future plans in my mind. Xia En walked to the training ground of [Rhine City] with Sha Jingjing unknowingly. On the training ground, the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan] and the Shuren Clan are training enthusiastically. The Yongyue tribe members who were equipped with new weapons were generally not very adaptable. After all, their conditions on the Island of Sands are too harsh. They often dont even have decent weapons, so that the Yongyue people are more accustomed to fighting with their powerful bodies. After putting on the Dwarf armor, I was inevitably a little bit restrained. Because of this. Shane only needs to train them again. The way of fighting alone and fighting in small teams in the past is naturally understandable when used on [Sand Island]. But in an environment like the [Rhine Secret Realm], it is still necessary to learn the collective combat methods. Not only the [Yongyue Clan], but also the warriors of the Shuren clan have also replaced them with new equipment. only. What is different from the armor of the [Yongyue Clan]. The equipment that Xia En equipped for the tree people is a special energy absorption and storage device. From the outside, it is a crystal painted with magic patterns. This device can continuously absorb the vitality and secret forces in nearby air. Complementing with the huge size of the tree man. Its functions are somewhat similar to "solar panels", which can only be controlled by a race like a tree man. And other than that. On the "shoulders" of the tree people, that is, in the canopy and on the branches, a secret heavy cannon was installed. Just instill secret power into it and you can fire powerful energy shells. It just happens to cooperate with the previous secret absorber. It can be said that this is turning the tree people into walking turrets. It can not only capture cities and plunder land, but also guard the home. It is this style of painting that combines tree people with heavy artillery, which is always a bit subtle and weird. However, the tree people are not very skilled in using secret power heavy artillery. It''s the same as the [Yongyue Clan] who has not yet fully mastered the use of thermal weapons. So, in this regard. Xia En also hired a special instructor to guide the training of [Yongyue Clan] and the tree of people. In the crowd. Feiya, wearing a red and black men''s clothing, tried extremely fiercely, but she still couldn''t hide the delicateness and exquisiteness of her face. Feiya was holding a huge gun that was not quite consistent with his size and was talking to the soldiers in the training ground. "I''m sure!" Just finished speaking. The muzzle of the big gun suddenly spit out a rapid tongue of flames. The goal is the shooting range not far away. Bang! Bang! Bang! The gunshots sounded like storm immediately. Several targets on the shooting range shattered in response to the sound. However, Feiya''s thin body stood firmly in place, not moving at all because of the recoil of the gun. The many soldiers were silent first, and then burst into a burst of marvelous screams. "So strong!" "Instructor Feiya is really amazing!" Whether it is the shooting accuracy or the control of guns, Fei Ya was amazed by everyone. Feiya also showed a small look of pride on her face, but soon, she was covered with her as severe expression as possible. It''s not difficult to see. Feiya''s aura has also improved a lot. The gold color in his pupils is more obvious and pure, and his appearance is more exquisite, as if it has been optimized. The overall feeling is both elegant and dangerous. This is also the change brought about by the transformation of [Seven Seas World]. However, because Feiya only broke through the sixth level not long ago. There is still a long way from being a legendary powerhouse. Just then. The soldiers on the training ground discovered Shane''s arrival. They stopped their actions and saluted Xia En respectfully. "Son of the Holy Son!" "Son of the Holy Son!" Greetings sounded one after another. Feiya''s eyes lit up, and she quickly walked towards Xia En. Seeing this, Xia En had the urge to say "your salt and my vinegar". However, he just thought about it and nodded in response with a smile. Xia En walked forward, patted several soldiers on the shoulders, and encouraged, "Thank you all for your hard work, continue training." "There may be a few more tough battles to fight after that." When the soldiers heard Xia En''s encouragement, their fighting spirit suddenly ignited in their eyes. They answered in unison: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" At this time. Feiya also came to Xia En. Shane asked, looking at the old crew member who had been following him from [Silver Moon Island]. "Are you still adapting to your life during this period in [Rhine Secret Realm]?" Feiya nodded and said, "It''s pretty good." "The environment here is actually much more comfortable than at Qihai." There are also many steam machinery for me to study. "Also, these soldiers from the [Yongyue Clan] are also very obedient, and the people in the city respect me very much." Xia En sighed, "Thank you for your hard work." "If you want to go back to the boat, you can tell me anytime." Feiya responded, "I will." Xia En nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and left the training ground. He knew in his heart that although the strength of [Rhine City] was constantly improving. But in the face of the unknown disaster that is coming, they still need more preparation. Xia En suddenly spoke, "By the way, Sha Jingjing, take me to see the traces of those unknown creatures." Sha Jingjing was stunned and nodded: "Yes, Lord Holy Son." The two quickly left [Rhine City] and walked towards the forest in the distance. As they gradually penetrated into the forest, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more gloomy. The trees are tall and dense, and the sunlight is almost impossible to penetrate the branches and leaves. The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and it made a rustling sound when stepped on. Although the air is filled with vitality, it inexplicably gives people a less comfortable feeling. Not long. Sha Jingjing stopped and pointed to a clearing in front of her and said. "It''s here." No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Xia En walked forward and carefully observed the ground. There are some huge footprints in the clearings not far away, like some large creature, but in a completely different shape than the common beasts. There are subtle cracks on the edges of the footprints, as if they were eroded by some corrosive liquid. Even a faint emitting... A decayed breath? "decay?" Shane frowned immediately. He did not forget that a certain apostle of the [] had the ability to transform things into decay. Is this a simple coincidence? Or... Xia En squatted down and reached out to touch the edges of the footprints. A slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips, as if something was eroding his skin. Xia En raised his brow and immediately withdrew his hand. With his current physique, it is difficult to have ordinary secret power to hurt him. And this residual erosion in the footprints is obviously not ordinary. Sha Jingjing also noticed Xia En''s serious attitude and his expression became solemn. "Sir, what should we do?" Xia En stood up and looked deep into the forest with deep eyes. "Continue to send people to monitor these traces, and strengthen the defense of [Rhine City]." "If these creatures are really hostile to us, we have to prepare in advance." Sha Jingjing Zheng pointed at the head: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" Shane didn''t say anything else and turned around and walked towards [Rhine City]. He felt a little uneasy, as if there was a huge threat approaching. Perhaps, behind each stage of the disaster in [Rhine Secret Realm], there is some other secret. The entire [Rhine Secret Realm] may undergo some changes due to the disaster. The Land of Glory On a quaint square filled with glory and tall stone pillars. There are obviously many more figures of Hui scholars than before. With the war ended. The Federation fulfilled its commitment to Latiwen and Moussa, and built the Huijiao church on important islands such as [Liuli Island]. Although the Federation did not elevate the Ching Church to the Orthodox status of the [Deep Sea Church] in general. But after the deeds of Musa and Latiwen spread, the number of people who believed in Hui Cult is naturally increasing day by day. At least, it is no longer just a small-scale and small-scale esoteric religion like before. Because of this, the number of believers who can enter the [Land of Glory] continues to increase. And today is the day when the [Land of Glory] holds a rally as usual. Many figures in the light ball have been here for the first time to come to [Land of Radiance], and they are inevitably shocked by the scene here. And those old believers of the Hui Sect also found that the recent [Going Land] has undergone some indescribable changes. They seemed to be able to perceive the glorious secret power belonging to [Lord of Radiance] more clearly. You can even vaguely detect the existence of a great will. This phenomenon is almost impossible to occur in the original [Great Land]. Actually, this is not difficult to understand. [The Land of Glory] is equivalent to a [Secret Realm Fragment] displaced outside the [Seven Seas World]. Or, it is a space in the cracks. It will neither completely merge with [Seven Seas World] nor will it become a complete [Secret Realm]. But even so. It will also be affected by [Seven Seas World]. With the "restraints" imposed by [] on [Seven Seas World] is lifted. The power of [Lord of Radiance] was able to enter this world more. At this moment. In the square, tall stone pillars cast long shadows under the sunlight, as if they were guarding this sacred land. There was a quiet and solemn atmosphere in the air, as if even the wind had become soft. I dare not disturb this glorious place. The believers who appeared in the state of light gathered together in groups of three or three, whispering in a low voice, with piety and awe on their faces. Suddenly, the light ball in the center of the square began to tremble slightly, emitting a more dazzling light. The believers stopped one after another and focused their eyes on the ball of light. The light in the light ball gradually condenses, forming a vague human-shaped outline. Although the outline is blurry, it exudes a sacred and purity that cannot be ignored. Immediately someone recognized the identity of the light group. "It''s Lord Latiwen!" An old believer whispered excitedly. With the end of the award ceremony, Latiwen became the hottest figure inside [Huijiao]. Musa was originally the Archbishop of Hui and had an extremely respectable status. Even without this incident, Musa was the first person in the Hui Cult. But Latiwen''s situation is different. He was originally a little famous in the younger generation, but it still came from his identity as [Glow Container]. But now, we have the record of participating in the "final battle". Latiwen''s identity has risen and she suddenly became a new generation of geniuses who are highly anticipated and are looking forward to. The new believers held their breath and stared at the outline in the glory. They felt a warm force emanating from the light ball, as if soothing their hearts and dispelling their inner fear and anxiety. "Welcome, new believers." Latiwen''s gentle voice rang. Then, the pure light ball quickly turned into the appearance of a handsome boy. Latiwen''s figure gradually became clear. He was wearing a white robe with golden radiance embroidered on his collar, symbolizing the protection of the Lord of Radiance. His face was exquisite and soft, and his eyes seemed to contain endless brilliance, which made people dare not look directly at but were close to him. "That''s Lord Latiwen?" "So...beautiful!" Everyone couldn''t help but let out a low scream. Many people did not expect that Latiwen, who is famous in the Qihai, would be such a beautiful boy. But at this moment. A deep black light suddenly appeared in the clearing ground not far away. The black light was as dark as ink, as if it was not mixed with any distortion. The pure white light and Latiwen seem to be at two extremes. Some believers who are unknown are inexplicably panicked. "What''s going on with the black light?" "Why do you look so ominous?" But Latiwen was not surprised but happy. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked quickly towards the direction of the black light. (End of this chapter) Chapter 423 【Black Tide】 Chapter 423 [Black Tide] Soon, all believers noticed Latiwen''s expression and movements. When approaching the black light. The expression on his face was extremely respectful, as if he was welcoming someone he respected and admired. Many believers of the Hui Cult who had just arrived at [The Land of Hui Yao] were inexplicably surprised. Who can make Lord Latiwen show such an expression? Those believers who have seen this dark black light involuntarily developed a sense of awe. "It''s that lord here!" Hearing this, many people reacted and looked in that direction with shock and curiosity. Unfortunately, the dark ball of light did not transform into a human form. Just maintaining its glorious shape, Latiwen''s body enveloped it. However, Latiwen''s voice still revealed the identity of this black light. "Mr. Xiaen! You are here!" Hearing this, the believers nearby couldn''t help but feel excited. "Mr. Shane? Is that great hero who saved the world?" "The only winner of the [Far North Light] Medal?" "So, he is also a member of the Hui Sect?" Aware of this, many believers suddenly felt a little proud in their hearts. However, many people were a little curious about why Xia En did not participate in the grand medal ceremony. Is there some gap with the Federation? Or does Xia En have a more important mission to complete? at the same time. In the black light''s package, Latiwen also realized that her words exposed Xia En''s identity and quickly apologized. "Sorry, Lord Shane..." Xia En waved his hand and said, "It''s okay." "Besides, the color of my soul light is not realistic even if I want to hide it." "but" Xia En said with some sarcasm: "It seems that Latiwen, you have become the pillar of Hui Sect now." "So many believers are pursuing and respecting you." Hearing this, Latiwen''s little face turned red. "What''s the matter." "That''s also thanks to Lord Shane''s contribution in infiltrating the operation." "If it were me alone, I would have died in that war long ago." Although Latiwen is already a big shot in front of other believers, she will also show some temperament that is transcendent to the ordinary. But his nature is still a kind, innocent, and shy boy. After Xia En said this, Latiwen couldn''t help feeling embarrassed. Xia En is the shy boy who is easy to be dotted and did not continue on this topic. There are too many people here, not a place to chat. "Let''s go and talk." Latiwen nodded quickly and said, "Okay." Soon, the two arrived at a relatively remote corner of [The Land of Race]. Although, Xia En''s black light still attracts others'' attention. But the actions of the two also proved that they hoped that no outsiders would disturb their conversation. The other believers also had a tacit understanding and did not get close to this area. "Sir Xia, how are your injuries?" Latiwen asked first. He did not forget that after the war, Xia En''s body was eroded by the power of extinction, and he looked miserable and almost broken with one touch. Xia En smiled slightly, and a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes. "It''s much better. Although it hasn''t fully recovered, it''s completely fine before normal combat." Latiwen breathed a sigh of relief, and a gratified smile appeared on her face: "That''s good." "You are the hope of our Hui Cult and the hero of the whole world." "No, no, why do you say that?" Xia En shook his head and said helplessly: "Hero or something is just a title imposed on me by others." I just did what I thought I should do. "If you really want to say, all those who participate in the [Far North Expeditionary Force] are heroes." "Even... I can defeat the [Apostle of Sin] in the end, and more so, rely on the power of others." Speaking of this, Xia En''s expression was a little heavy. Dont look at the process of his final killing of the [Apostle of Sin], it seems very simple and crude. But that is actually mostly Laila''s credit. Whether it is the [Power of Nirvana] in another world, or the [Dayan] cage prepared for the [Apostle of Great Sin]. Without any of these factors, it is impossible to truly kill the [Apostle of Sin]. Before that, the delays of powerful people such as Xinwang also played a huge role. It can be said. Laila and King of Sin have paved the road for Xia En. And he himself is actually just an executor. If you change to another secret path, you may be able to do this. In fact. Shane did not attend the award ceremony, and this was also the case. He believes that he is not the most critical contributor in this incident. Leila and the King of Fire are the real heroes. It''s just because the two of them, one of them, traded with the [Blind God of Idiot], and their true body disappeared. Another person was seriously injured and turned into a fire, which may take decades to restore his human form. In order to boost the morale of the civilians, the Seven Seas Federation was preparing to set Xiaen as a "hero" and "a role model." At the same time, it is also to encourage the surviving people in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. But for Xia En, he felt a little guilty, so he avoided the public award ceremony. However, Xia En just thought about this idea himself and would not reveal it to others. at this time. Xia En did not continue the topic and instead asked, "Latiwen, what is the situation of Hui Cultivation recently?" "I heard that your influence in the Seven Seas World is getting bigger and bigger." Latiwen nodded, with a hint of pride in her tone: "Yes, Lord Xiaen." The recent growth of believers is awesome. "And, there''s one more thing." "The Glow Cathedral on [Lilac Island] is about to be completed." At that time, I will be the first bishop of the cathedral. "Sir Xia En can go there to find me if you have time in the future." Shane nodded, I will. However, as he heard that the number of people who believe in the Glorious Sect increased day by day, his mood was inevitably a little complicated. The [Billions of Glorious Lords] believed in by the Hui Cult is an external **** from the [Secret Sea]. As His followers continue to grow, it is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. But then I thought about it. The Hui Sect at that time even became the Orthodox Church of the [Seven Seas World], with faith spread throughout the kingdoms. There seems to be no incident of [Lord of Radiance] invading this world. Perhaps, in the eyes of [Lord of Radiance], [Seven Seas World] is just a small secret realm under His rule. No need to pay too much attention. Or perhaps, for Him, it would be enough to just such a steady harvest of the power of faith. And, on the other hand. The growth of Hui Sect has become the general trend. It is impossible to stop Xia En''s power, so at present, we can only let it go. After thinking for a while, Xia En said to Latiwen. "The power of faith is indeed strong, but be careful not to turn faith into blind worship." "The original intention of Hui Cult is to guide people toward light, not to let them get lost in the illusory brilliance." Latiwen nodded solemnly: "I understand, Lord Xia En." "We will always keep in mind the teachings of the Hui Cult and will never let our faith deviate from its original intention." Xia En smiled with satisfaction: "With a bishop like you, I feel relieved about the future of Hui Cult." No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Latiwen''s face turned red again, and he lowered his head and whispered. "Sir Shane has gone too far. I still have a lot of things to learn from you." Xia En patted Latiwen on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone: "You have done a good job, Latiwen." "I also want to ask you about the big events worth mentioning in the Seven Seas recently." [The Land of Race] serves as a mysterious space that connects many believers of the Race Sect in the Seven Seas. Naturally, it is equivalent to an intelligence network that can communicate in real time. Of course, Xia En would not miss this kind of tool for inquiring about information. "Yes, Lord Shane." After a brief thought, Latiwen said: "There is indeed a big event that has attracted much attention recently on Qihai." Thats "In the sea of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana], a dark wave appeared out of thin air!" "People call it [Black Sea] [Black Tide]!" Latiwen''s tone became serious, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. "The appearance of that [Black Tide] was unpredictable, as if it had surged out from the seabed overnight and spread rapidly." According to witnesses, wherever [the dark tide] goes. "The sea water has become as viscous as ink, and the sky has been dyed dark gray, and even the sun cannot penetrate." "What''s even more terrifying is that any creature that comes into contact with the [Black Tide], whether it is fish or sea beasts, will lose its vitality in a short period of time and turn into dark dead bones." Xia En frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Has anyone tried to investigate the source of [Black Tide]?" Latiwen nodded: "The Seven Seas Federation has sent several investigation teams, but so far no team can penetrate into the core area of ??[Kuri Tide]." "According to the captain''s instructions in [Kuri Tide], some weird creatures they have never seen before emerged in [Kuri Tide]." "It''s simply...it doesn''t look like the existence of this world!" "They will attack all ships entering the [Black Tide] without any difference, and their strength is quite good." Latiwen paused and continued. "At present, the Seven Seas Federation has designated most of the sea areas of the [Sea of ??Nirvana] as a restricted area, and no ships are allowed to approach." Dark TideSea of ??Nirvana Xia En touched his chin thoughtfully. He once went to [Sea of ??Nirvana] and had a battle with the clone [Giant Wood God], who was suspected to be [Sini Shi Ming]. Therefore, we know that the sea environment in [Sea of ??Nirvana] is particularly unique. Although Xia En thought of the [Dark Disaster] in the [The Secret Sea] at the first time. But then I thought about it, the scale of that kind of disaster would definitely not just occupy a small area of ??sea. That is, this is another reason for unknown existence. And the phenomenon described by Latiwen. [Black Tide] seems to be a disaster caused by the integration of another [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World]. The problem is. What kind of [Secret Realm] is full of [Black Tide] that erodes creatures and weird and fierce monsters? "Wait, [Sea of ??Nirvana] [Secretary]?" A flash of inspiration in Xia En''s mind. He used to think that the name [Sea of ??Nirvana] was just because of the particularity of that sea area. It is the same name as [Witch of Nirvana] [Power of Nirvana], and it is just a coincidence. But if... Isn''t this a coincidence? Since [Witch of Nirvana] and [Coffin of Eternity], it can be teleported from another destroyed [Seven Seas World] to Xia En. Doesnt this mean that the destroyed [Seven Seas World] exists in the [Secret Sea] at the same time? That is to say. What is connected to [Sea of ??Nirvana] is the [Seven Seas World] that was destroyed by [Sizumi Mind]! ? Thinking of this, Xia En''s heart couldn''t help but hopped. This conjecture sounds incredible at first glance. But it is not impossible. Although the [Apostle of Sin] died, [The Mind] and other [Apostle of Silence] obviously would not let go of [The World of Seven Seas] easily. And the destroyed [Seven Seas World] is filled with their residual filthy secret power. If [Black Tide] flows back into [Seven Seas World] through [Secret Seas], it will be another extremely terrifying disaster. certainly. Such an idea is only Xia En''s guess at the moment, and there is no substantial proof. even so. Xia En still informed Latiwen of this guess. After listening, Latiwen''s expression changed suddenly. "Sir Xia, what do you mean is... [Kuri Tide] may be another world, a harbinger of invasion of our world?" This possibility is not ruled out. Shane nodded: "Although it is not completely certain yet, we must plan for the worst." Latiwen took a deep breath, a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes. "I understand, Lord Xiaen." "I will immediately notify the senior management of Hui Cult to strengthen investigation and prevention of [Kuri Tide]." "At the same time, I will also inform General Moritz of this news." "If it were him, he would definitely understand the seriousness of the situation." Xia En nodded, feeling a little relieved. With the assistance of Latiwen, Huijiao and the Federation, at least... they will not face possible disasters without any preparation. Xia En patted Latiwen on the shoulder with a little relief in her tone. "Thank you for your hard work, Latiwen." "I feel relieved to have a partner like you." Latiwen said seriously: "This is what I should do." Afterwards, Latiwen informed Xia En about some information from the Seven Seas. Xia En listened carefully. Among them, he also accidentally learned a news "You mean that the location of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is near the [Sea of ??Nirvana]?" Shane asked with a weird expression. "Yes." Latiwen focused heavily: "In fact, the reason why many people know that the appearance of [Black Tide] is because..." "They want to go to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] to explore." "The roar of the dragon often sounds on the [Sea of ??Nirvana]." "After all, that is the ancient dragon that has been lost for thousands of years. It is normal for people to be curious." (End of this chapter) Chapter 424 【Sea of ??Nirvana】【Wake up Vivian】 Chapter 424 [Sea of ??Nirvana] [Awakening Vivian] "However, because of the emergence of [Kuri Tide]." "The sea of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana] was blocked by the federal government, and those ships could not continue to approach, so the specific location of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] could not be confirmed." Latiwen looked at Xia En''s expression and suddenly woke up. "Sir Xia En, do you want to go to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Shane nodded: "That''s right." "In the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], there is something I have to get." "I see." Ratiwen didn''t ask what that thing was, but said. "Please be careful, Lord Xia En." "And, if it''s about the [Sea of ??Nirvana], you might ask Ms. Nuanxue." Xia En naturally did not forget the "Wuanwu" [Warm Snow Number] on [Sea of ??Nirvana]. The captain is Mrs. Ji Ya, code-named [Nuanxue]. Previously, Xia En had a brief cooperation with her in the incident of [City of Giant Trees]. I have a certain understanding. Moreover, Mrs. Ji Ya herself is also a member of the Hui Sect. Therefore, the information obtained from her is relatively reliable. Thinking of this, Xia En nodded and said. "Then please come here, Ms. [Nuanxue]." Today is the day when the [Huijiao] holds a rally, so Mrs. Ji Ya will naturally come to participate. Not long after. Latiwen took Ji Ya to Xia En. Seeing Xia En, who was shrouded in black light at this time, Ji Ya couldn''t help but stir up some turmoil in her heart. By the heart. Her vision is already very excellent in Qihai. At the beginning, when she first met, she also saw what Xia En was unusual. That''s why Ji Ya asked her sister and crew to treat Xia En and his [Black Swan] more politely. But even so. Ji Ya didn''t expect it. After that, Xia En not only scattered the [City of Giant Trees] that was eroding the entire [Sea of ??Nirvana], but even became a key figure in the [Far North Expeditionary Force]. Become a great hero to save the world. Moreover, judging from Xia En''s aura at this time, he has obviously been promoted to the legendary realm! And from the last time we parted, it has been less than a year. Thinking of this, Ji Ya couldn''t help feeling a little dazed. Such deeds are even more bizarre than some epic legends on the Seven Seas. However, Ji Ya is a personal participant in this legendary experience. Her mood is inevitably a little complicated. Soon, Ji Ya calmed down and respectfully saluted Xia En. "Mr. Xia En, I haven''t seen you for a long time, and your style is better than the past." Xia En smiled slightly, his tone was calm. "Madam Ji Ya, there is no need to be too polite." "I''m asking you for information about [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [Black Tide]." Ji Ya nodded and her expression became serious. "In fact, I have witnessed the ups and downs of [the dark tide] with my own eyes." "oh?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Please tell me in detail." Ji Ya took a deep breath and said slowly, "When [Kuri Tide] first appeared, we didn''t care too much." "Abnormal phenomena in the Seven Seas are not uncommon after all." "But soon, we found that things were much worse than we thought." "That black wave seemed to have life, constantly devouring everything around you." "The sea water has become viscous and there is a decay in the air." "The most terrifying thing is that any creature that comes into contact with the [Black Tide] will lose its vitality in an instant and turn into dark dead bones." Ji Ya paused and continued. "To be honest, that kind of scene has a subtle commonality with the tree people in the [City of Giant Trees]." "The tree people in those days would attack and capture other sea beasts and ships, and offer sacrifices to the deities they believed in." "And the whole piece of [Black Tide] seems to be devouring other creatures, thus making itself grow stronger." "If you insist on saying it, that [black tide] is alive!" Xia En touched her chin with a thoughtful look on her face. Ji Ya''s words vaguely confirmed his previous guess. There is indeed some connection between [Kuri Tide] and [Film Siming]! Xia En asked again, "I also heard that there is a weird creature in [Black Tide]?" "Yes." Ji Ya''s expression became even more serious: "I''ve never seen a creature like that before." "They have a twisted and weird appearance, as if they are condensed from pure darkness." "The conventional means can hardly kill it." "They will attack any ships close to the [Black Tide] indiscriminately, and some ships are even dragged into the depths of the [Black Tide] by them and never come back." Xia En pondered for a moment and asked. "What do you think the source of [Kuri Tide] may be?" Ji Ya shook her head and said, "I dare not make a conclusion." "One thing is certain, [Black Tide] is related to some kind of power in [Sea of ??Nirvana]." A strange look flashed in Xia En''s eyes: "Do you think so too?" Ji Ya smiled bitterly and said, "This is just my guess." "After all, the name of [Sea of ??Nirvana] has a long history." "And, just some legends I''ve heard." "The reason why [Sea of ??Nirvana] seems extremely dangerous is because there is a passage to another world in the depths of this sea area." "Make the concentration of secret forces in the sea water particularly abnormal." "And now, with the integration of [Seven Seas World] with other [Secret Realms], this led to the emergence of [Black Tide]." After hearing these words, Xia En was secretly surprised. Although Ji Ya is not like herself, she knows relevant information about []. However, based on her experience and cognition, similar conclusions have been drawn. Xia En thought for a moment, and his guess about [Black Tide] became clearer. He looked at Ji Ya and said solemnly, "Madam Ji Ya, thank you for your information." "Next, I plan to go to [Sea of ??Nirvana] in person to find the location of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "At the same time, explore the secrets about [Kuri Tide]." "If you have any new discoveries, please be sure to notify me in time." Ji Ya nodded seriously and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Xia En, I will continue to pay attention to the trends of [Kei Tide]." "If you need any help, [Nuanxue] is always waiting for your arrangement." Then. Xia En exchanged information with Latiwen, Ji Ya and others, and then left [Land of Rays]. A few days later. The marginal sea area of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana]. On the sea, the originally deep sea water became darker and a disturbing sense of depression filled the air. The distant skyline was shrouded in a thick layer of black clouds, and the whole world seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray tones. The black swan, with its dark hull, quietly sailed into this sea area. Shane stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance with deep eyes. He could feel that the breath of this sea area was completely different from before. The feeling of decay and silence was extremely strong, as if even the air became viscous and suffocating. At this time. Joey walked to Shane and looked at the sea not far away, and couldn''t help but frown. "[Sea of ??Nirvana]...has it actually turned into this?" The former [Sea of ??Nirvana] was already the most dangerous among the seven major sea areas. Especially the tree people occupy the sea area where [City of Giant Trees] is located, and it once became a "forbidden zone for life." But even so. The [Sea of ??Nirvana] at that time was not as dead and desolate as it is now. This shows the impact of [Kuri Tide]. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! However, on the distant sea, there are several federal [hunting ships] hovering. Notice the arrival of [Black Swan]. Soon, a [hunting boat] was sailing in their direction. But after approaching the [Black Swan], the other party seemed to quickly realize the identity of the owner of the ship. The expressions of the crew members on the ship quickly changed from vigilance to awe and excitement. Immediately, they conveyed friendly greetings to the [Black Swan] through flag slogans and light signals. Shane nodded slightly, signaling Joey to respond to the other party''s signal. Soon, an officer on the [Ship Ship] shouted to the [Black Swan] through the megaphone. "Dear Lord Xia En, welcome to [Sea of ??Nirvana]." "We are the Third Patrol Fleet of the Federal Navy and are ordered to be alerted to the movements of the [Black Tide]. Do you need assistance or guidance?" Faced with the well-deserved federal heroes, these federal officers'' attitudes are naturally extremely respectful and friendly. Xia En walked forward, his voice calm and powerful. "Thank you for your greetings." "I''m visiting this to investigate the source of [Black Tide] and find the location of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "If you have any latest information about [Kuri Tide], please share it with us." The officer was obviously surprised by Shane''s purpose, but he quickly recovered his composure and replied. "Sir Xia, we don''t have much information about [Kuri Tide]." At present, it is only known that its scope of activity is expanding. "And, more and more weird creatures emerge from the [Black Tide]." Xia En frowned slightly and continued to ask. "Have you ever tried to go deep into the core area of ??[Kuri Tide]?" The officer shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. We sent out several reconnaissance squads, but they either lost contact or brought back extremely chaotic reports. "Their reason seems to be contaminated by some indescribable existence." According to the survivors, the core area of ??[Kuri Tide] seems to be a completely different world, full of twisted spaces and incomprehensible phenomena. Our current strength is not enough to penetrate it. Xia En nodded, and had a clearer understanding of the dangers of [Black Tide]. He pondered for a moment, then said. "Thank you for your reminder, we will act carefully." "If you find any abnormal situations, please notify us in time." The officer responded respectfully: "Yes, Lord Xiaen." "I wish you all the best." As the [Ship Ship] slowly sailed away, the [Black Swan] continued to move towards the depths of the [Sea of ??Nirvana]. The atmosphere on the sea became more and more depressing, and a decadent atmosphere filled the air. It seems that even time is getting slow here. And that''s when. Xia En noticed that a strange wave suddenly came from the [Eternal Coffin] placed deep in the cabin. After calling Vivian''s [Power of Nirvana] last time. There is some kind of connection between Xia En and this [Eternal Coffin]. Coupled with Xia En''s control over the Black Swan, he naturally felt the abnormal movement of the [Eternal Coffin] at the first time. "This is" Xia En''s face changed, and his figure seemed to merge into the void. When he appeared again, he came to the depths of the cabin, in front of the [Coffin of Eternity]. At this time, the [Eternal Coffin] was trembling slightly. It''s like resonating with an outside existence. Xia En stared at the [Eternal Coffin] and frowned. He could feel that the silent [power of extinction] in the coffin was slowly awakening. It''s like being pulled by some kind of external energy. The runes on the surface of the coffin flickered slightly, emitting a dark light, creating a strange resonance with the surrounding space. "Vivian..." Xia En whispered in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy. Since the last time he borrowed [The Power of Nirvana], Vivian''s consciousness has been in a state of sleep. At this moment, the abnormal movement of [Eternal Coffin] is obviously related to a certain power in [Sea of ??Nirvana]. Not long. In the transparent coffin wall, Vivian''s transparent figure gradually appeared. Seeing this, Xia En''s face suddenly showed joy. Sure enough, just as Shi An said, [Eternal Coffin] can warm up Vivian''s damaged soul. As long as she has enough time, she can restore her original state. And at this time. Vivian''s eyes seemed to be open and her lips moved, as if she was waking up. Shane reacted suddenly. Vivian, what do you want to say? Thinking of this, Xia En stretched out his hand and touched the coffin wall of the [Eternal Coffin], trying to establish a connection with Vivian''s consciousness. It can be touched at the moment of [Eternal Coffin]. A cold and violent energy suddenly surged out of the coffin and spread along his arms to his whole body. Xia En''s body shook slightly, and the scene in front of him was instantly twisted, as if he had been pulled into a strange space. When you open your eyes again. Xia En was in a strange sea. The sea water under my feet was as dark as ink, and there was no trace of light in the sky. It seems like a pure, suffocating darkness. There is no trace of life. The air was filled with the breath of decay and death, as if countless pairs of eyes were still staring at him in the dark. Xia En felt an instinctive discomfort just standing here. That is the creature''s disgust of death and decay! "here it is" Shane looked around and suddenly a ridiculous idea came up. Is this decaying and decaying world... the destroyed [Seven Seas World]? Because Xia En happened to be on the [Sea of ??Nirvana] and was in contact with the [Coffin of Eternity], he was able to enter this world briefly? Just then. A familiar voice rang in Shane''s ears. "Captain Shane..." Xia En looked in the sound and saw Vivian''s figure floating from the darkness. Her figure was illusory and transparent, as if it would disappear at any time. Vivian looked around with complicated eyes and murmured softly. "This was my home..." (End of this chapter) Chapter 425 【The intersection of two worlds】【Faced w Chapter 425 [The intersection of two worlds] [Facing the dark tide] "Vivian?" Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked. Vivian''s words undoubtedly proved his guess. The scene he saw before him was the destroyed [Seven Seas World] on another world line. However, compared to this, he was more worried about Vivian''s condition at this time. Xia En immediately asked, "Vivian, how are you now?" "I''m fine." Vivian''s voice was filled with a hint of weakness and fatigue. However, it is much better than the previous situation of sleepiness. She sighed, "To be honest, I thought I could never wake up again." "It''s great to see Captain Shane again." "However, my current state is not very stable, and I should not be able to wake up for too long." "There is still a long way to go from [Eternal Coffin] and move freely like before." "Otherwise, I wouldn''t talk to you in this way." Shane nodded, So thats it. "Anyway, it''s good that your situation improves." "But you said, this is... your former home?" "Yes." Vivian said softly with a very complicated expression on her beautiful face. "I think the reason why I woke up temporarily was probably because I was stimulated by this familiar [power of nirvana]." "Captain Shane, now you should know the relationship between me and Leila, and the source of [The Power of Nirvana]." "But you may not know..." "The place where [Eternal Coffin] and I arrived in this world was the current [Sea of ??Nirvana]!" "Um?" Upon hearing this, Xia En''s eyes opened slightly. This information was indeed something he didn''t know before. Xia En pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because..." "There is somewhere in the [Seven Seas World] and the [Seven Seas World] you are in, there is a certain channel somewhere in the [Sea of ??Nirvana]?" "It can be understood that way, too." Vivian explained, If I want to say it, it may not be a channel. Buta intersection point. "If two similar but different [Seven Seas World] are compared to two line segments." "They should have been two parallel lines that would not meet at all." No intersection will occur at all. No one even knows the existence of another world. "It is even more impossible for me to come to this world with the [Eternal Coffin]." "However, under the influence of some powerful and transcendent force, the two worlds ''intersect'' and thus interfere and influence each other." Hearing this, Xia En suddenly woke up. "The God of Blind and Ignorance!?" "That''s right." Vivian nodded. "Rewriting physical rules, rewinding time, distorting cause and effect... these things are fantasy for ordinary humans." "For the truly powerful gods in the Secret Sea, it''s just a trivial matter like eating and drinking water." "It is precisely because of the transaction between Laila and the [Blind God of Ignorance] that the two [Seven Seas Worlds] have a ''intersection point''." "And the location of the ''intersection point'' is the current [Sea of ??Nirvana]!" These words made Xia En have a deeper understanding of [Sea of ??Nirvana] and [Black Tide]. At the same time. A few lines of prompts flashed on the panel. [The Mystery of the Sea of ??Nirvana" resolution density +48%! [Comprehensive quality: 6768! "really" Xia En said in a deep voice: "So, the [Black Tide] of [Sea of ??Nirvana] originated from the destruction of [Seven Seas World]." "No wonder [Black Tide] has similar characteristics to [Mortal Secret Power]." Shane asked again, "Vivian, which apostle of [] who once destroyed your world?" Recalling that tragic memory, Vivian''s expression was inevitably a little sad. But she still said seriously: "His name seems to be..." Corrupt Apostle "His secret power, with its strong corrupt properties, can quickly transform living creatures from fresh to decay." "And, in my opinion, [corruption] is just a manifestation of His power." "[Corrupt Apostle] True authority is actually an alternative law of time and space." Vivian''s voice was low and solemn, as if he was recalling the unbearable past. "His [corruption] not only decays life, but also accelerates time in a certain area, or distorts and collapses space." "Under His influence, our world quickly declined, as if it had been drained from its vitality and eventually headed for destruction." Xia En frowned and was shocked. Although he had seen the terrible power of the [Apostle of Sin]. But the authority that [Corrupt Apostle] was enough to destroy the entire world still shocked him. "In other words, the essence of [Dark Tide] is actually the power of [Corrupt Apostle] eroding our world?" Xia En asked in a deep voice. "That''s right." Vivian nodded and continued. "The spread of [the black tide] is a manifestation of the gradual expansion of the ''intersection'' of the two worlds." "As the power of the [Corrupt Apostle] penetrates into this world, the environment of the [Sea of ??Nirvana] will become worse and worse." "End...it may allow the [Corrupt Apostle] to enter this [Seven Seas World] and repeat the mistakes of our world." Xia En''s heart was shocked. If this is true, then the threat of [Black Tide] is far more serious than expected by the federal top leaders. It not only brings pollution and weird creatures, but also may lead to the collapse of the entire world! Vivi settled down and said again. "However, it will be a long process." "After all, with the transformation of [World Will], [Seven Seas World] will instinctively resist and dispel the power of [Corrupted Apostle]." Shane nodded. But even so, the existence of [Corrupted Apostle] is always a hidden danger. Xia En couldn''t let it go. Perhaps, when he has sufficient strength, he will go to the destroyed [Seven Seas World] in person to completely eliminate this hidden danger. But now, this goal is still a bit far away. And at this moment. Vivian suddenly remembered something and reminded him. "By the way, Captain Shane." "Because you have killed the [Apostle of Sin], whether it is [Apostle of Sin] or other [Apostle of Sin], you will have an especially strong hostility towards you." "And as an extension of the power of [Corrupt Apostle], [Dark Tide] will also show you an extremely dangerous side." Xia En said in a deep voice: "I understand." "I''ll be careful." "However, if you can''t even deal with the [Black Tide], how can you be an enemy of the [Corrupt Apostle]?" Vivian was about to say something, but suddenly felt the scene around him start to twist. "It seems that I don''t have much time." Her voice gradually became ethereal. "Captain Shane, please be careful." "The [Dark Tide] is full of unknown dangers." "If you encounter situations that you can''t cope, don''t force yourself." "I will." Xia En nodded solemnly. "You must also have a good rest and recover as soon as possible." Ill look for ways to help you get back to it. Vivian''s figure gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a faint light, returning to the [Coffin of Eternity]. The scene before Xia En also recovered. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! After opening his eyes again, he returned to the cabin of the [Black Swan]. "Sir Captain, are you okay?" Joey''s voice came from behind. Shane turned around and saw Joey looking at him with a worried look on his face. "I''m fine." Xia En shook his head and asked. "Where have we been?" "It has entered the core area of ??[Sea of ??Nirvana]." Joey replied. "What''s wrong?" Shane frowned and walked quickly to the deck. The nearby scene became even more weird. There are some broken wreckage of ships floating on the sea, and occasionally some dead bones wrapped in black matter can be seen, as if silently telling the horror of this sea area. The string song, which was originally leading the way in the sky, also landed on the deck. She reminded: "Captain Shane, a black sea appeared in front of her." "The sea water has completely turned black, as if it was contaminated by something!" Shane walked to the side of the boat and looked down at the sea. Sure enough, the sea water in front had completely turned into thick black, like an endless abyss. What''s even more disturbing is. Something seemed to be squirming in the black sea, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeking at them in the dark. Reduce and keep your distance. Xia En calmly gave the order. At this moment, the sea suddenly churned violently, and the black sea water was like boiling, causing waves dozens of meters high. Immediately afterwards, a huge black tentacle suddenly stretched out from under the sea and headed straight for [Black Swan]! "Enemy attack! All members are on guard!" Joey shouted. Xia En''s eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a wave of his right hand, a black sword energy instantly slashed out, directly cutting off the tentacle. Black liquid splashed out and fell on the deck, making a "sizzling" sound of corrosion. "Did the malicious intention of [Kuki Tide] begin to appear?" Shane murmured to himself. However, the battle has just begun. With the emergence of the first tentacle, more and more dark creatures surged out from under the sea. Their appearance is twisted and weird, some look like giant sea snakes, and some look like monsters covered with tentacles, each exuding a disgusting smell of decay. Obviously, these guys are the strange creatures brought by the rumored [Black Tide]. To be precise, that is not a creature. And it''s like a conglomerate of some kind of secret power. But in other words. As long as such a secret force aggregate is eliminated, the secret force of the entire piece of [Black Tide] will weaken, thereby temporarily reducing the pollution caused by [Black Tide]. Thinking of this, Xia En ordered the crew: "Take all your strength to eliminate those monsters!" Everyone replied, "Yes, Captain Shane!" The first response was not someone else, but the [Black Swan] under Xia En. In the previous expedition to the extreme north, [Black Swan] was separated from Xia En and failed to show its true abilities. Now that he can finally fight side by side with Captain Shane, he naturally wants to perform well. boom! boom! boom! The cannons rang in unison, and the shells roared towards the twisted creatures. The explosion of fire bloomed on the sea, instantly shattering several monsters. Steam Knight Carles also came to the deck. She opened her own steam field directly and purified one dirty monster after another. at the same time. Joey stood by the boat, his hands spread out, and a faint blue light flashed in his beautiful eyes. "Oh the sea, listen to my command." As her words fell, the surrounding sea suddenly surged violently, as if there was life. A force that originates from the depths of the sea is fighting against the filthy and corruption secret forces in the [Black Tide]. This leads to it. The sea, which was not calm, became increasingly rough. At this time, Joey''s hands suddenly waved, and the sea water instantly condensed into several huge columns of water, stabbing at the approaching monsters like spears. The water column penetrated the monster''s body, nailing them firmly to the sea, unable to move. After breaking through the sixth level. Joey''s control over the sea and storm authority has gone to a higher level, and he has a faint trend towards Augustine''s original development. "Good job, Joey!" Xia En nodded in approval, then waved his sword again, killing the monsters trapped by the water pillar one by one. Xiange is not to be outdone in this battle. The blood of the bronze dragon in her body gushed, and a bronze flame lit up in her eyes, and the crown above her head became more majestic. roar! ! Xiange let out a roar, his body was wrapped in a layer of bronze light, and his wings spread out, as if covering the sky and the sun. She took a deep breath and then suddenly exhaled a hot dragon breath. The bronze flame poured down like a waterfall, instantly burning a large area of ??monsters on the sea to ashes. Moreover, Xian Ge also accurately controlled the range of dragon breath to ensure that the flames did not affect the [Black Swan]. Her dragon breath not only destroyed a large number of monsters, but also burned the black matter on the sea surface, revealing the originally clear sea water. Xia En almost didn''t take any serious action, and most of the monsters in the [Black Tide] around him were wiped out. If before the journey to the extreme north. Xia En and others will probably fall into an extremely difficult battle when they encounter this [Black Tide]. But now, Xia En''s strength is no longer the same as before. Even if we dont talk about Shane who is promoted to the legend, the strength changes of Joey, Xiange, Carlress and others are amazingly great. It is no exaggeration to say that it is better than an ordinary legendary powerhouse. This is the only way to easily face the extremely dangerous [Black Tide] for ordinary ships. To a certain extent, Xia En''s idea of ??"the crew is more expensive than the crew" has been realized most of it. at the same time. [Black Tide] seemed to realize the strength of the group of people on the [Black Swan] and began to gradually fade into the depths of the sea. Just as Ji Ya said before, this [Black Tide] is alive! Therefore, He will also have the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm like a living creature. Soon, the sea water in front of him returned to its original appearance. But soon, Xian Ge seemed to notice something and looked at the sea water deep below. (End of this chapter) Chapter 426 [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] [The sea of ? Chapter 426 [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] [The sea of ??clouds gallops! "Stern Song, what''s wrong?" Noting Xian Ge''s strange expression, Xia En immediately asked. "What did you find?" Xiange did not hide it, and replied directly. "Just now, when I was stimulating the power of my bloodline, I once again felt the call of [[Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "And, this call is clearer and stronger than before." "only" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "It''s just something?" Xian Ge''s expression was a little weird: "The direction of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] I sensed is located below... [Sea of ??Nirvana]!" Upon hearing this, Shane suddenly woke up. Different [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] are definitely different. Its just because the several [secret realms] that appear at present are all on the surface of the seven seas. This makes people subconsciously believe that the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] will also appear on the [Sea of ??Nirvana] in the form of an island similar to that of an island. But now. This reminds you from Xian Ge. Xia En realized that the entrance to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] was probably located under the sea surface of the [Sea of ??Nirvana]. The conventional method makes it difficult to find the location of the entrance. Perhaps, this is also the reason why people in the Seven Seas, although they realized that the ancient dragon appeared, they could not find the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. As for the roar of the ancient dragon echoing in the sky. It was probably just the echoes conveyed from the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] after the two [Secret Realm] approached. Constrain the ups and downs in your heart. Xia En quickly made a decision and said. "Xiange, you prepare for it, let''s go to the sea to explore the road." Although [Black Swan] also has the ability of Xia En [Deep Sea Body] and can sail under the sea. However, the current [Sea of ??Nirvana] is infected by the [Black Tide] after all. If you fall into the siege of [Black Tide] on the seabed, the level of danger will undoubtedly increase greatly. As for Xia En''s own reason why he is not worried about [Kuri Tide] is very simple. He has [Projection Body]! After a moment. Xia En''s [Projection Body] appeared under the hull of the [Black Swan] before String Song. This [Projected Body] has also changed a lot compared to the past. The whole body became deeper and darker, emitting a strange and ominous aura. It''s like some kind of indescribable existence. If others were asked to encounter this [Projected Body] in the sea, they would be scared to have a cardiopulmonary arrest, thinking they had encountered a monster in the deep sea. After Xia En broke through the legend, his [Projection Body] can also call the so-called [Law of Void]. This makes the temperament of this body even more mysterious, as if it is impossible to peek into the abyss. Even, Xia En had a feeling. [Projection Body]''s mastery of [The Law of Void] may be stronger than his original body! Feeling his current state, Xia En felt a little moved. [Deep Sea Scuba] This talent was originally his core ability to make a fortune. He was able to earn his first pot of gold at sea alone, pay off Duke Nova''s debt, and later shine in [City of Coral] [Secret Land of Blood Moon]. Dear, it''s all [Deep Sea Scuba]. But at present, as Xia En''s strength continues to improve. Even if you dive into the deep sea in person, there will not be too big problems. This talent is used greatly reduced the number of times. At this time, it feels quite wonderful to experience [Deep Sea Scuba] again. Hurry up! Soon, Xian Ge also jumped and dived into the sea. In order to avoid the peeping of [Kuri Tide] due to his body shape, Shige maintained the petite loli form. And when we came to Xia En. Xiange couldn''t help but tremble and muttered to himself: "Why does Mr. Captain''s state feel more and more terrifying?" The deep black body seemed to be able to swallow all the light, and even the surrounding sea water seemed to be dyed with a dark tone. "What''s wrong?" Xia En noticed the strangeness of Xian Ge and asked with his mental power. "No... nothing." Xian Ge shook his head and tried hard to suppress the discomfort in his heart. "I just think the Captain looks a bit scary." Upon hearing this, Xia En chuckled: "Is it scary?" "Maybe, but this state is more beneficial in the deep sea." Xian Ge nodded and said nothing. She knew Xia En was right, that most of the creatures in [Black Tide] were weird and dangerous. This terrible state will make them feel fearful and afraid. "Are you ready?" Xia En asked. "Um." Xian Ge took a deep breath, and the blood force in his body slowly surged, and a faint dragon scale pattern appeared on the surface of his body. A golden light flashed in her eyes, as if a dragon shadow was swimming in it. This is she resonating with the call of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. "Then let''s go." After Xia En finished speaking, his body moved and dived towards the deep sea. Xian Ge followed closely behind, and the two dived quickly. As the depth increases, the surrounding light gradually disappears, and the feeling of depression in the sea water becomes stronger and stronger. However, for Shane''s chords, the darkness around it does not constitute a barrier. Xia En''s [Lightless Touch] is like a fish in water in the deep sea, while Xian Ge can clearly detect everything around him with the perception ability of the dragon clan bloodline. Perhaps it was because they had just repelled a [Black Tide]. At this time, the [corrosion power] belonging to the [Black Tide] in the sea water was not that strong and strong. It also allows Xian Ge to more easily understand the location of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Xiange closed his eyes, focused his energy, and felt the call from the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Her dragon clan blood surging in her body, as if there was an invisible silk thread, leading her to move in a certain direction. "Here." Xian Ge said softly, then adjusted his direction and swam towards the deeper sea. Xia En followed closely behind, and the two quickly passed through the deep sea. As they continued to dive, the surrounding sea water gradually became cold and the water pressure gradually increased. However, this environment did not have much impact on Xia En and the others. I don''t know how long it has passed. "Mr. Captain, I feel... the call of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is getting stronger and stronger." The sound of the string song was transmitted to Xia En''s mind through mental power, with a hint of excitement and tension. Shane nodded. Although he could not directly sense the existence of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] like Xian Ge. But his body also possesses part of the ancient dragon bloodline. So, Xia En could feel an ancient and mysterious force permeating the surrounding sea water. This power is somewhat similar to the breath of Xian Ge, but it is deeper and more vast. "Keep going, be careful." Shane reminded, while observing the surroundings with vigilance. He was still looking forward to it, and there were unhappy deep-sea beasts who took the initiative to attack them. After all, his talent as [Deep Sea Devourer] has not been used for a long time. The two continued to dive, the pressure around them became stronger and stronger, and the temperature of the sea water became lower and lower. Just as they were about to approach the bottom of the sea, Xiange suddenly stopped moving. Theres there! The sound of the string song came through the spiritual link, with a hint of excitement. Xia En followed her guidance and saw a huge shadow faintly appearing in the sea water ahead. The shadow was not a dark tide, but a magnificent underwater mountain range, like a sleeping underwater giant beast. There seemed to be a crack in the middle of the mountain range, and a faint light shone through it. "That''s the entrance to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Xia En''s heart moved. Xiange nodded: "I can feel that the call from [Dragon Nest] came from there." Now that you have found the entrance to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En no longer hesitated. His original body on the Black Swan immediately ordered the other crew members. "Prepare to enter deep diving mode, target... [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]!" "Be careful, don''t leave the hull shield." "Yes, Captain!" Joey and others responded in unison. The next moment. A layer of invisible and intangible protective cover appeared outside the hull of the Black Swan and quickly enveloped the entire ship. With the shield fully unfolding. [Black Swan] began to dive slowly, and the hull drew an elegant arc in the sea water, heading towards the direction of the undersea mountains. With the connection between Xia En''s body and [Projection Body], he was able to ensure that the course of the Black Swan was correct. The outline of the mountains is particularly majestic in the deep sea. The rocks are covered with thick seaweed and corals. Occasionally a few glowing deep-sea fish swim by, adding a touch of vitality to this quiet seabed. "Mr. Captain, I feel that the call of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is getting stronger and stronger." The voice of the string song sounded in Xiaen''s mind again, and an excitement flashed in her eyes. Shane nodded. His eyes were fixed on the crack ahead. I saw that the light from the crack became brighter and brighter, as if calling them into entering. Xia En subconsciously opened the vision of [Seeing the Secret Eyes] and immediately saw an extremely chaotic scene. Points and line segments with unique colors entangle, gather and collide together. Xia En could tell at a glance that it was a line that did not belong to the [Seven Seas World]. The lines between different [secret realms] will naturally have different differences. Looking closely, those lines are like countless slender dragons, with vigorous vitality. The different line segments between the two [Secret Realms] meet in that crack and constantly merge together. The turbulence in the space continues to come out of the cracks. At the same time, a strange and ancient aura emanates from the air. Obviously, this means that the crack is the channel between [Seven Seas World] and [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. only Xia En also saw some dark lines mixed in between. "That''s the secret power of... [Kuri Tide]?" "Can it also have an impact on the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Xia En murmured thoughtfully. For some reason, he felt a little ominous premonition in his heart. But at the moment, [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is right in front of you, and Xia En couldn''t retreat at this time. He ordered decisively: "Prepare to enter the crack!" [Black Swan] slowly sailed into the crack, and the protective cover around the hull emitted a faint light in the crack, illuminating the road ahead. And just the moment [Black Swan] completely drove into the crack. A strong sense of weightlessness suddenly came. The space seemed to be twisted at this moment. Immediately afterwards. The scene in everyone''s eyes suddenly changed drastically. When Xia En opened his eyes again, what he saw was a strange and brand new world. Xia En''s vision gradually became clear, and the scene in front of him made him hold his breath. The deep sea that had previously wrapped around the [Black Swan] disappeared. The light became brighter again and everything became clear. And the first one to catch your eye. It is a vast and pure white sea of ??clouds! The sea of ??clouds churned, like an endless white ocean. The waves are turbulent, but silent. The sun shines on the clouds, reflecting a brilliant light, as if the whole world is coated with a layer of golden light. And at this time, the [Black Swan] was sailing on this sea of ??clouds! "This is" Xia En doesn''t remember that [Black Swan] has the ability to fly. That only means that this sea of ??clouds has a special buoyancy that can make the [Black Swan] suspend it. Different [secret realms] may have different rules and characteristics. At this time, the same is true for this [Secret Realm] named [Dragon Nest]. Shane stood on the deck of the Black Swan and looked into the distance. Wherever you look, there is this magnificent sea of ??clouds. He took a deep breath and felt an ancient and mysterious aura filled the air. It is a unique atmosphere belonging to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. "Is this the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Joey walked to Shane, his eyes full of shock. Xia En nodded with a deep gaze. "It seems that we have indeed entered another world." Xiange also walked to the deck, and an excitement flashed in her eyes: "I can feel that this place is full of the breath of ancient dragons." "And, there seems to be a lot of familiar smells!" familiar smell? Xia En was stunned for a moment and soon understood the meaning of the string song. The string songs used to be one of the oldest bronze dragons. Since it is ancient, it means that you must know other ancient dragons. Nowadays, although the string song starts over with [Ancient Dragon''s Egg], it is inevitable that you still remember some of the smell of "old mature dragons". However, Xiange himself has never been to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and knows nothing about the environment here. Now, they can only move towards the depths of the [Dragon''s Nest] as carefully as possible. Shane ordered the crew: "Everyone, stay alert and prepare to explore the [Dragon Nest Secret Land]!" "Yes, Captain!" The crew responded in unison and took action. [Black Swan] sailed slowly in the sea of ??clouds, and the protective shield around the hull flashed with a faint light in the sun. As they deepened, the scene in the sea of ??clouds gradually changed. In the distance, huge peaks rose from the sea of ??clouds. The scenes on each mountain are different. Some peaks are covered with dense forests, while others are like volcanoes poured by lava. Something else is like a crystal-like palace. roar- At this moment, a dragon roar sounded from a distance. (End of this chapter) Chapter 427 【The Secret of Ancient Dragon Migration】 Chapter 427 [The Secret of Ancient Dragon Migration] [The Last Bronze Dragon] roar! ! Everyone couldn''t help but look in the direction where the dragon roar came. I saw a huge ancient dragon passing through the vast sea of ??clouds. Its body is so huge that it almost covers half of the sky, its scales appear dark blue and sparkle with a metallic luster. When the wings spread out, they seemed to cover the sky and the sun. The dragon''s eyes were like two blue-gold suns, emitting a majestic and cold light. This is a blue dragon! At that time, Xia En briefly saw a illusion of the past in the [Simon Islands] [The Land of the Falling of the Ancient Dragon]. It is thus confirmed that the ancient dragon buried in the [Simon Islands] is a blue dragon! At that time, the blood of the ancient dragon bathed by Xia En was naturally the blood of the blue dragon. From a certain perspective. There is also a special relationship between Xia En and Blue Dragon. He stared at the blue dragon soaring in the sea of ??clouds, and vaguely felt that the ancient dragon blood in his body was trembling slightly. It seemed to have some resonance with the dragon in the distance. "Mr. Captain, that''s... Blue Dragon!" Joey whispered, with amazement in his tone. For the Seven Seas, their generation. The ancient dragon clan that once dominated the entire [Seven Seas World] is already a legendary existence. The only Gu Long that Joey and others have ever seen is String Song. However, although String Ge is an extremely rare bronze dragon, he is still underage after all. There is a big gap between body shape and real adult ancient dragons. Besides. Xiange is also considered to be the one who grew up watching a crew member, and there is always a filter like "children". Not that shocking. At this time, witnessing the blue dragon in the sea of ??clouds with one''s own eyes made everyone feel like "this is the ancient dragon". Moreover, with the roar of the blue dragon. One after another, there were ancient dragons with different shapes and races rising from their own huge peaks, shuttled and swam in the vast sea of ??white clouds. Some of them are covered with hot flames, like the flame dragons born in a volcano; Some are crystal clear all over, as if carved from ice crystals, exuding a biting chill; Some of the scales shine with metallic luster, like a moving fortress. Among them, Xia En also saw an extremely strange ancient dragon. Its size is much smaller than other ancient dragons. The wings are as transparent as cicadas'' wings, and they are shining with a glimmer of light, as if they are woven from moonlight. Its scales are as delicate as gemstones, colorful and flow into different lusters as the light changes. Sometimes it is as green as jade, sometimes it is as deep as amethyst. Among the majestic and huge dragons, they look small and ethereal, like an exquisite work of art. Give people a beautiful and unique temperament. "That''s...the elf dragon!" At this time, Jane walked from the cabin to the deck. After this period of cultivation, her complexion has improved much better and her aura has basically returned to her full state. She continued to explain to Xia En and others: "Although the elf dragon has the word ''elf'' in its name, it has nothing to do with the elf." "Just a unique branch of the ancient dragon species." "But I didn''t expect that in my lifetime, I could actually see so many ancient dragons appearing together." The other crew members on the deck were also shocked. Each ancient dragon in the sea of ??clouds exudes a powerful aura, as if they are the incarnation of this world. Their appearance made the entire sea of ??clouds tremble, and the air was filled with an ancient and majestic force. "Is this the true face of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" Xia En murmured in a low voice, shocked and alert. Every ancient dragon has legendary strength when it comes to adulthood. And there are countless ancient dragons in the entire [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. From this we can see the strength of the Gu Long clan. It can be said that the overall strength of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is probably the most powerful of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] that Xia En has explored so many [Dragon Nest]. But thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have a question in his heart. The dragon clan at its heyday was so powerful that even the elves were hard to match. But it is such a powerful race. Why did you choose to leave your hometown and come to this [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]? If it was the invasion of [], Xia En could still understand it. But the problem is. Just Shane knows about this matter. In the era when the dragon clan migrated and left, [] seemed to have not yet attacked [Seven Seas World]. The great flood that swept the world was also a story that began with the periods of Augustine and King of Fire. At this time. A line of information flashed in front of Xia En''s eyes. [Intouching the Secret: The Secret of Ancient Dragon Migration! [Current decryption: 3%! The emergence of the [Secret] proves that there is indeed a great secret behind this incident. And from the perspective of [decryption], Xia En still has a long way to go to crack this [secret]. As the dragon roars rose one after another in the sea of ??clouds rang out. String songs also seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation. Her body trembled slightly, her eyes ignited a bronze flame, and a flash of excitement and desire flashed through her. She felt that the blood of the bronze dragon in her body was boiling, as if responding to the call of the ancient dragons in the sea of ??clouds. This call is so strong that it is difficult for string songs to maintain human form, but they must return to the posture of the ancient dragon! But even so. Xian Ge still looked at Xia En with an inquiring gaze, as if asking for his opinion. Compared to when it broke out, the string songs now have become too obedient and obedient. Xia En naturally saw the desire for string songs. He also knew that letting the string song fly out may bring certain risks. But generally speaking, with the identity of the Bronze Dragon in the Legend of the Legend, the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is still relatively safe. Moreover, it is better to contact the ancient dragons and learn where the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is going to be compared to their own purposeless wandering around. After a little hesitation, Xia En waved, "Xiange, go!" "Yes, Captain Shane!" Xian Ge nodded excitedly. immediately. Her body began to change. Bronze scales emerged from under her skin, her body gradually swelled, and her wings stretched out from behind. In a few breaths, it turned into a majestic bronze dragon. Her eyes flashed with bronze flames, and the dragon wings spread out, and with a light pat, it soared into the air and rushed into the sea of ??clouds. Immediately afterwards, Xian Ge took a deep breath, and the secret power swelled with his vocal cords, making a shocking roar. roar- She declared in the ancient and mysterious dragon language. "I, the great bronze dragon, String Maya, have come!" The roar of the stringed dragon echoed in the sea of ??clouds, as if it had stirred up thousands of waves. Her bronze body shines brightly in the sunshine of the sea of ??clouds, looking majestic and powerful. Even though her body is slightly smaller than those adult ancient dragons, the blood of the bronze dragon gives her unique momentum and majesty. This made Xian Ge not at all inferior when facing other ancient dragons. It even faintly overwhelmed most of the ancient dragons nearby. Xiange''s arrogant and wanton behavior naturally attracted many ancient dragons in the sea of ??clouds. They turned their heads and looked in the direction of Xian Ge, with scrutiny and curiosity in their eyes, as if they were looking at this strange bronze dragon. Soon, several ancient dragons flew to Xiange and roared, as if they were talking to him. String songs were not afraid at all, and responded in dragon language. After just a few conversations. The eyes of the ancient dragons changed subtly. at the same time. Xia En and others stood on the deck, looking at the interaction between Xian Ge and the ancient dragons from afar. Joey couldn''t help but sigh, "Sir Captain, she... has really grown up." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. From being weak when it broke out of the shell to being able to stand alone and communicate with those powerful ancient dragons on the same level, it has indeed grown a lot. Jane stood aside and said softly. "I remember that the bronze dragon is an extremely rare category among the dragon clan." "Together with Xiange''s former identity, it should help us get the recognition of the Gu Longmen as soon as possible." Shane nodded, "I hope so." The time to speak. The ancient dragons not far away also noticed the [Black Swan] navigating the sea of ??clouds. They stared at the ship curiously and observed the various devices on the ship. After all, there have been thousands of years of foreign ships entering the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] where they are located. The people on the boat couldn''t help but feel a strong sense of oppression. Although [Black Swan] is considered a top ship in the human world, it still looks particularly small in front of these behemoths. After a moment. The petite and beautiful elf dragon before landed on the sea of ??clouds not far from the [Black Swan]. Its eyes were filled with a hint of contempt and hostility, and it let out a low growl. "Humans, why did you come to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" "As for the rules we set, you cannot enter the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] without permission!" "And this time, you are driving such a vehicle into the [Dragon Nest]." "This is an offense to our dragon clan!" Upon hearing this, Xia En was stunned at first, and then quickly understood the meaning of the Elf Dragon. He had heard before that the Seven Seas Federation discovered a passage to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and had long sent people to the [Dragon Nest] to explore. Now it seems that those explorers should have communicated with Gu Long and even formulated some rules. And this elf dragon obviously has no good impression of humans. It may be because of what the past explorers did to offend it. It may also be because the dragon clan naturally has a contemptuous attitude towards other races. Shane hasn''t spoken yet. Not far away, the roar of string songs suddenly came. "Quiet! The ignorant little dragon!" "Who allows you to be rude to my captain?" The dragon roar of the string song exploded in the sea of ??clouds like thunder, with unquestionable majesty. Her bronze dragon wings suddenly unfolded, and her body crossed the sea of ??clouds like a flash of lightning, instantly blocking between the [Black Swan] and the elf dragon. Her eyes were burning with bronze flames. The dragon''s power swept out like a tide, reaching the elf dragon. "you-" The Elf Dragon obviously did not expect Xiange to be so strong. He was forced to take a few steps back by the dragon''s threat, and a hint of astonishment and fear flashed in his eyes. Xiange stared at it coldly, his voice low and full of oppression. "My captain is not the object you can question at will." He is my partner and my family. "If you dare to be rude to him again, I don''t mind letting you see the power of the bronze dragon." The elf dragon was shocked by the momentum of the sing song and did not dare to speak again for a moment. A complex look flashed in its crystal clear eyes. It seemed that I was surprised by Xian Ge''s attitude, and I felt a little unwilling. The ancient dragons around also stopped moving, their eyes wandering back and forth between the string song and the elf dragon. Obviously, they were surprised by the strong performance of string songs. After all, Xian Ge''s body size is much smaller than these adult Gu Long. But her momentum was not weak at all, and she even faintly overwhelmed many ancient dragons present. Moreover, they have not seen the existence of "Bronze Dragon" for a long time. Several ancient dragons carefully recalled the name "Shinge Song Maya" and found it inexplicably familiar. Shane stood on the deck and watched the scene quietly. He felt both relieved and complicated. Xiange is no longer the little dragon who needs his protection. Now she is able to stand alone and even confront other ancient dragons to protect herself. Not to mention, this feeling of "raising a child" is quite good? Sudden. The blue dragon, who had been paid attention to by Xia En and others before, suddenly remembered something and spoke. "String Song Maya..." "I remembered that you are... [The Last Bronze Dragon]!" "But shouldn''t you be buried in the [Seven Seas World]? How could you..." "The Last Bronze Dragon?" When he heard this title, not only Xia En and others, but also the many ancient dragons present showed a little surprised. "Yes, I remembered it too." "You are one of the strongest ancient dragons." The other ancient dragon said, "On the [Dragon''s Nest Peak], your name and deeds are also engraved." As these words were spoken. The ancient dragons remembered the information about "Shinge Ge Maya" one after another, and their eyes at Shige became a little awe and complicated. Xian Ge was also slightly stunned, as if he remembered some memories he had forgotten. "The last...Bronze Dragon..." She remembered those dead tribes, and some scenes before she fell into a long sleep. Finally, Xian Ge couldn''t help but smile bitterly. "So, is there only me, a bronze dragon, left in the world?" At this moment, a low dragon roar came from the sea of ??clouds. The sound seemed to come from a very far place, but it sounded clearly in everyone''s ears, with an ancient and majestic aura. All the ancient dragons, including Xian Ge and the elf dragon, couldn''t help but turn their heads and look in the direction where the sound came. Deep in the sea of ??clouds, there is a terrifying existence that is releasing its own breath. The blue dragon roared in a low voice. "It''s the call of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]!" "Honor of Strings, perhaps, it is calling you!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 428 [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] [Dragons Chapter 428 [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] [Dragons bow their heads] "King of Dragons?" Just hearing this title, Xia En felt a sense of oppression in his heart. It seems that this is not just a name, but also a title that contains extraordinary power! Xia En immediately thought of the [Legendary Title] he saw after his promotion. Obviously, the title of [King of Dragons] has been recognized by [Great Law], thus leaving its mark. Only when you hear it will make people feel awe. It''s not difficult to guess. This [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is the owner of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and the king of all ancient dragons! The status is probably higher than that of Augustine and King of Sinica among humans. And now, such an ancient dragon king is actually calling Xiange to meet it! In addition to the other ancient dragons'' words and attitudes, the title of "Venice". Xia En easily saw that the string song before reincarnation had a very high status among the Gu Long clan. That is to say. When the string song first broke out of the shell, the arrogant and arrogant attitude was actually natural for her. Although Xia En had expected this. But after all, Xian Ge was raised by him since childhood, and he inexplicably felt like "I have raised my daughter for so long and turned out to be a powerful dragon clan." The mood is inevitably a bit complicated. And as the blue dragon''s low roar fell, the atmosphere in the sea of ??clouds suddenly became solemn. All the ancient dragons stopped and looked at the depths of the sea of ??clouds with their eyes, as if they were waiting for something. Xian Ge also felt that powerful aura. Her bronze dragon pupils contracted slightly, and her body became tense involuntarily. She could feel that there was an irresistible majesty in that breath, summoning her to somewhere. King of Dragons Xian Ge murmured in a low voice, a complex look flashing in his eyes. In her incomplete memory, she seems to have a deep connection with the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Xiange, what are you going to do?" At this time, Xia En looked up at Xian Ge, with concern in his tone. Xian Ge was silent for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and looked at Xia En. Her eyes became extremely firm: "Captain Shane, I must go see him." "Perhaps he can fill my missing memories." "And...he must also know the clues of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." Upon hearing this, Xia En said, "Then let''s go." He turned to look at the huge blue dragon. "Please lead the way for us, senior." The blue dragon nodded slightly, his huge head lowered, with a hint of respect in his eyes. It obviously recognized Shane''s identity - as a partner and captain of Xiange, Shane''s status in the Dragon Clan has also improved. "It is my honor to be able to lead the way for the ancient Bronze Venerable." "Come with me." The blue dragon''s low voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds. Then it spread its huge wings, rolled up a strong wind, and flew towards the depths of the sea of ??clouds. Other ancient dragons also followed one after another, forming a spectacular dragon group. [Black Swan] Walk slowly in the sea of ??clouds. Shane stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the front. The scene in the sea of ??clouds gradually changes. Not long after, everyone saw a shocking scene. I saw that in the sea of ??clouds not far away, several huge peaks stood. The peaks towered into the clouds, as if connecting the sky and the earth. The peaks are covered with ancient runes and carvings, emitting a mysterious light. Unlike the scattered peaks before, the mountains in front of them are surrounded by a central area, forming an unimaginable nest! With just one glance, Xia En judged. This is the [Peak of Dragon Nest] mentioned by Gu Long, and it is also the reason why the [Secret Realm of Dragon Nest] is named! Xia En stared at the [Peak of Dragon Nest] in front of him, and was shocked. Those towering peaks seem to be the pillars of heaven and earth, emitting an ancient and mysterious aura. The sea of ??clouds between the peaks is like an endless ocean. And in the center of this dragon''s nest, a tall mountain with silvery white, like diamonds, crystals and silver can be seen. Everything on the mountain is carved from this strange and clear material. Unspeakable mystery and beauty. The surface of the mountain is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light and shadow of the surrounding sea of ??clouds, giving people a dreamy feeling. Xia En stared at the mountain, and couldn''t help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. "Is that the residence of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]?" Joey asked in a low voice, with an unconcealed shock in his tone. The voice of the blue dragon echoed in the sea of ??clouds. "Yes, that peak is called [The Peak of Dragon''s Nest]." "It is not only the habitat of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], but also the core of the entire [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." Under the guidance of the Blue Dragon, [Black Swan] slowly sailed towards [The Peak of Dragon''s Nest]. As the distance narrowed, Xia En and others felt the powerful pressure from the mountain. It is not only a physical sense of oppression, but also a spiritual shock. It''s like... That mountain itself is a living, conscious being! The string song flew in front of the [Black Swan], and the bronze dragon wings drew a graceful arc in the sea of ??clouds. Her eyes were staring at [The Peak of Dragon Nest], with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She could feel that the mountain was hidden in her past memories, and even her mission as a bronze dragon. After the dragon group and [Black Swan] approached. On each of the peaks of [Dragon''s Nest Peak], there are also ancient dragons with great wings and take off, and at the same time, they look at the [Black Swan] and this strange bronze dragon with curious eyes. After all, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] has not made such a call to an ancient dragon for a long time. This undoubtedly means that the other party has very important significance to the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and even the entire Ancient Dragon Clan. And this unique ship also made many Gu Long, who had never seen the world, feel curious. "That''s...the creation of human beings?" "Can they actually build such a ship now?" But some Gu Long also expressed disdain for this. "It just looks sophisticated." "A breath can make it go to ashes." Xia En felt the gazes from the ancient dragons around him, and couldn''t help but feel a little vigilant in his heart. Despite the existence of string songs, these ancient dragons did not show hostility for the time being. But the pride and power of the dragon clan are engraved in the bones. It is probably not easy to get the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. Joey asked a little uneasy: "Sir Captain, are we really going to enter the [Summit of the Dragon Nest]?" Xia En nodded, his eyes firm. "Since Xian Ge needs to meet [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], we naturally have to accompany her." "Besides, the clue of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is likely to be there." Joey didn''t say anything else, but looked around more alertly. Not long after. [Black Swan] is getting closer and closer to [The Peak of Dragon Nest]. The silver-white mountain was right in front of you, like a huge crystal palace, reflecting a dazzling light. The breath around him became more and more serious. An ancient and majestic power was filled with the air, as if every inch of space was telling the glory and glory of the ancient dragon. Everyone looked towards the top of the mountain. The scene in front of everyone held their breath. I saw a huge silver throne standing in the middle of the sea of ??clouds. Above the throne, there is an unimaginable giant dragon. Its body is as majestic as a mountain, and its scales are shining with silver-white light, as if woven from moonlight. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! When the wings spread out, they cover the sky and the sun, as if they can cover the entire sky. Its eyes are like two silver suns, emitting a cold and majestic light. This is [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]! Xia En was able to confirm the moment he saw the other person. This king among the ancient dragon, like Augustine and King of Fire, is a strong man who surpasses the ninth level. Even the aura of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is closer to the invisible barrier. "String Song Maya..." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] A low voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds, carrying endless vicissitudes and majesty. "My old friend, we''re meeting again." Xian Ge''s body trembled slightly, and complex emotions flashed through the bronze dragon''s eyes. She stared at the [King of Dragons] on the throne, trying to piece together the pictures of the past from the fragments of memory. But the clips I remembered in the end were still pitifully few. King of Dragons String song responded in a low voice, with a hint of hesitation in his voice. "Are we familiar with us in the past?" [King of Dragons] slowly raised his head, and a gentle light shone in his silver eyes. Its sound is like an ancient echo, low and distant. "We were our closest comrades-in-arms and fought together for the freedom of the dragon clan." "Fight for the freedom of the Dragon Clan?" String Ge repeated this sentence, and a little doubt emerged in his heart. Why do they fight for freedom? Or, who is the enemy who deprives them of their freedom? Seeing the confusion revealed by the string song, a faint sadness flashed in [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s eyes. "It seems that you have forgotten more than I thought." "But it doesn''t matter, as long as you''re still alive, that''s enough." "I can tell you all the past." As he said that, the eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] swept over the Black Swan behind Xian Ge, and actually passed by Xia En, and fell on Joey first. The authority of [Goddess of Storm] [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s tone was obviously low, and his eyes were deep, as if he was recalling some past events. Xia En immediately realized the abnormality of the situation, took a step forward, blocked Joey, and said in a deep voice. "Dear [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], we are Xiange''s companions, and there is no malice in coming this time." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Shake the huge dragon head. "Don''t worry, I can see that she should be the container that carries [Goddess of the Storm]." "Of course I won''t transfer my hatred against [Goddess of Storm] to this junior." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly jumped. Hatred with [Goddess of Storm]? Obviously, this may not be the prejudice of a dragon against the [Goddess of Storm], but the fact that the entire ancient dragon clan has some kind of deep hatred with Him! Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly remembered the illusion he saw at [The Land of the Falling of the Ancient Dragon]. The blue dragon in the illusion seemed to be charging at an existence in the sky. Could it be that the existence in the clouds at that time was the legendary [Storm Goddess]? That''s when. A line of information flashed suddenly. [The secret of the ancient dragon migration" decryption +12%! This information undoubtedly proves that Xia En vaguely guessed the truth of the matter. Without waiting for Xia En to continue thinking deeply. [King of Dragons] slowly moved away from Joey and fell on Xia En. Its eyes were filled with scrutiny, as if it wanted to see through Xia En''s soul. "Human, I''ve heard of your name." "You should be the savior of the [Seven Seas World], the holder of the [Far North Light] Medal of the Federation, the captain of the [Black Swan], Shane?" Hearing this, Xia En was slightly stunned. Even Xia En didn''t expect that his name had spread to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. There was a gentle smile in the voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Do you think that our ancient dragons are all self-proclaimed old antiques and never come into contact with [Seven Seas World]?" "Wrong, every time the federal exploration team arrives, I will ask them about [Seven Seas World]." "Just a few days ago, I heard about your deeds from them." Not only that [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] said. "I also sensed the breath from you after erasing the [Defiled Apostle]." "It seems that you did stop the invasion of [] as the rumor says." Speaking of this, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] actually lowered his proud head slightly and said at the same time. "Seven Seas World is the home of our ancient dragon clan." "I want to thank you for saving the [Seven Seas World]." As soon as this is said. Not to mention Xia En, even the ancient dragons in the nearby sea of ??clouds and dragon nests could not help but be shocked by it. That is their king! Its strength and power are enough to suppress all the ancient dragons in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But at this time, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] actually lowered his head to such a tiny human? In their opinion, this kind of thing is truly incredible. But at the same time, many ancient dragons also heard the content of the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Saving the savior of the [Seven Seas World]?" "It''s actually such an inconspicuous human being?" Even the ancient dragons still have certain prejudice and contempt towards humans. But even their kings were willing to lower their heads for Xia En. The attitudes of the Gu Longmen naturally changed slightly. Soon, an extremely spectacular scene happened. I saw that with the actions of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], all the ancient dragons present bowed their heads slightly to Xia En. It seems to be expressing one''s respect. If outsiders were allowed to see this scene, they would be so shocked that they could not speak. Xia En''s heart was also very turbulent. He didn''t expect that this king among the ancient dragon would express such sincere gratitude to him. (End of this chapter) Chapter 429 【Divine War in Ancient Times】【Where to t Chapter 429 [Divine War in Ancient Times] [Where is the Gods] certainly. Xia En was not complacent because of the many ancient dragons'' bowing their heads. He knew clearly that most ancient dragons bowed their heads not because of themselves, but because of respect for the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. This is why this shocking scene appears. If Xia En really feels that he can walk sideways in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] like this, he is definitely trying to die. But even so. The people on [Black Swan] were still shocked by the scene of the countless ancient dragons bowing their heads, and secretly felt a little proud and proud. Only their captain can receive such courtesy in the Dragon Nest Secret Realm. Soon, Xia En took a deep breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart, and then responded solemnly. "Dear [King of Dragons], I just did what I should have done." "After all, I can''t watch [] invade our world." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Nodded slightly, and a hint of praise appeared in his silver eyes. Its sound is like an ancient echo, low and distant. "It seems that the rumors in the mouths of those humans are indeed true." "You are indeed a humble hero." "Maybe it is because of this that you can get the recognition of Xian Ge and become her partner." "But one thing is a little puzzled." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] paused and continued, "Why did you come to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" "I think you shouldn''t just come back to your nest for the song." "Yes." Xia En admitted frankly: "We are here to visit the Dragon Nest Secret Realm, on the one hand, to explore the past and lost memories of the string song." "On the other hand, it is for a legendary artifact-" "Fate Weaving Shuttle!" Xia En''s voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds, clearly reaching the ears of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and the surrounding ancient dragons. "Fate Weaving Shuttle?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s silver eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his tone. "Why did you know the existence of this artifact?" String songs on the side spoke, "In my only remaining memory, I vaguely remember that it should be in Gu Long''s hands now." "That''s why I came to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] with Captain Xiaen." "I see." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] was silent for a moment, then said slowly. "It seems that the matter about [Fate Weaving Shuttle] has left a deep impression on you." "After all, back then, the one who used [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to open the door to cross the [Secret Realm] for us was Xiange." "What?!" Upon hearing this, Xia En was shocked. He did not expect that there was such an unknown origin between string songs and [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. But on the other hand. Xia En suddenly thought that [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is the magic weapon of [Fate Goddess], which has the power to shuttle to another secret realm. Why did such a magical artifact come to the string singer? Could it be that there is also some kind of hostile relationship between the ancient dragon and the [Goddess of Destiny]? Combined with the previously learned Gu Long''s hostility towards [Goddess of Storm], Xia En vaguely guessed something in his heart. His thoughts were turning rapidly, and various possibilities emerged in his mind. The hatred between the ancient dragon clan and the [Storm Goddess]. String Song once used [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to open the door to cross the [Secret Realm]. And the identity of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] as the [Fate Goddess] artifact... These clues all seem to point to an amazing truth There are profound contradictions and even hostile relationships between the Ancient Dragon clan and some gods! Perhaps, this is the reason why the ancient dragon left the [Seven Seas World] and migrated to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]! As the venerable among the ancient dragons, Xian Ge has obviously participated in these major historical events. Xia En''s eyes couldn''t help but turn to the string song, and his mood was quite complicated. The bronze dragon he raised since childhood actually carries such a heavy past. Xian Ge seemed to feel Xia En''s gaze, and turned his head, a trace of confusion and determination flashed through the bronze dragon''s eyes. "I have... used [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Suddenly, Xian Ge''s body shook slightly. "Captain Shane, I... seem to remember something." The voice of the string song was low and trembling. "Divine War..." Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Divine War?" "That''s right, it''s a **** war!" Xian Ge said firmly: "The ancient dragon in ancient times once had a great war with the gods!" As soon as this statement was spoken, the ancient dragons around them made low roars, as if responding to the words of the string song. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] also flashed with praise in his eyes. "Yes, my old friend, you finally remembered it." "At that time, our Gu Long clan had to fight against the gods who tried to control us for freedom." "And you and your tribesmen started a big battle with [Goddess of Destiny] and successfully won [Fate Weaving Shuttle], opening the door to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] for us." "But at the cost, the Bronze Dragon tribe was almost wiped out, and even you exhausted all your strength and could only fall into a long sleep." Hearing this, Xia En''s heart was filled with storm. He never thought that in the ancient times of [Seven Seas World], there was such a "divine war between ancient dragons and gods." And this also explains Xia En''s previous doubts. That''s why, the ancient dragon was forced to leave the Seven Seas World and migrate to the Dragon Nest Secret Realm. at the same time. A lift flashed on the panel. [The secret of ancient dragon migration" decryption +56%! [Comprehensive quality: 6870! However, at this time, what made Xia En even more curious than his weak improvement in strength. Why did the gods launch such a war against the ancient dragon? And, after careful consideration. Xia En realized a problem that he had previously subconsciously ignored Now, where are the gods in the [Seven Seas World]? Although Xia En had some contact with the statues of the Goddess of Storm and the Elf Goddess. But it seems that there is never really communicating with their consciousness. Besides, if their consciousness still exists with the [Seven Seas World]. When [Seven Seas World] was invaded by [Sizuma] and [Sinful Apostle], why did none of these gods appear? Just as Xia En was thinking about these issues. A faint light flashed in Xiange''s dragon''s eyes, as if he was trying to piece together those broken pieces of memory. Her voice was low and hoarse, with an indescribable heaviness. "So...I''ve been involved in such a war." "Those people of my tribe died in that godly battle..." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Nodded slowly, sadness and respect appeared in the silver eyes. "Yes, Xiange, you are the hero of our clan." "It is because of your sacrifice that we can escape the shackles of the gods and come to this pure land that belongs to us." "However, the price of that war was too heavy, and the Bronze Dragon clan was almost destroyed." "And you...lost almost all your power and memory." Xia En was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and asked solemnly. "So, where is [Fate Weaving Shuttle] now?" "Is it still in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] said slowly. "The weaving of fate is indeed in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "It''s just that it is sealed by us in the depths of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "Seal? Why?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En was a little puzzled. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] explained: "[Fate Weaving Shuttle] is the magic weapon of the Goddess of Destiny, and there is naturally some difficult-to-cut connection with the Goddess of Destiny." "If it is not sealed, the goddess of fate is very likely to find the location of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] through this connection." "At that time, a second battle between the ancient dragon and the gods may be triggered." Hearing these words, Xia En''s heart moved. Yes, even he and Jane can see the existence of the so-called "Line of Destiny". As the legendary goddess of fate, her mastery of [Line of Fate] will only be more profound. It is indeed not impossible for her to find the location of the Dragon Nest Secret Realm with the help of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help asking. "Where are the goddess of fate and other gods on the seven seas now?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] After a moment of silence, a deep light flashed in the silver eyes, as if recalling the long past. Its voice is low, with an indescribable heaviness. "Where is the gods going...this is a question that we can''t answer completely." "The gods'' war in ancient times was not only a war between our ancient dragons and gods, but also a battle between gods." "The Goddess of Destiny, Goddess of Storm, Goddess of Elf... These gods who once dominated the [Seven Seas World] fell or disappeared in that war." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] paused and continued. "The end of the Gods'' War is that the power of the gods is weakened, and their power gradually fades from the [Seven Seas World]." "Some gods chose to sleep, some disappeared in the long river of time, and some... left the [Seven Seas World] and entered the [Secret Sea]!" "The Goddess of Storm and the Goddess of Destiny belong to the last category." "They left part of their power in the [Seven Seas World], but their essence has entered the [The Secret Sea] to seek the path to upward promotion." Hearing this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel shocked. Enter the [Secret Sea]? That''s right! Since [] can invade [Seven Seas World]. The gods of the [Seven Seas World] can naturally leave the [Seven Seas World] and explore the unknown [Secret Sea]. after all. For any existence, becoming stronger and advancing to a higher level is an instinctive desire. This is especially true for the gods who are already at the top of the [Seven Seas World]. This is somewhat like the "Ascending to the upper realm" in the novel of cultivating immortals. However, it can be seen from the gods of gods such as the Storm Goddess on the Seven Seas that can still perform their effects. Although some gods entered the [Secret Sea], they still left some divine power in the [Seven Seas World]. Xia En asked again. "So, is the invasion of [] and [] related to the disappearance of the gods?" [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] shook his head slightly: "We cannot be sure of this." "But the departure of the gods did indeed cause the Seven Seas World to lose some balance." "Perhaps it is precisely because of the absence of the gods that those evil forces from the outside have an opportunity to take advantage of them." Xia En pondered for a moment. Although unbuttoning the seal of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] may attract the attention of [Fate Goddess]. However, in order to find the clues left by Laila in the [Elf Secret Realm] and to truly solve the hidden danger of [Evil Mind]. Xia En must get [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. His eyes were firm and he had made a decision in his heart. Xia En raised his head and looked at [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], with a solemn and sincere tone. "Dear [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], I understand that unbuttoning the seal of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] may bring risks." But for the future of the Seven Seas, I have to try to get it. "The invasion of [] will not be terminated by a failure." If we dont act, the whole world will fall into endless darkness and chaos. "And [Fate Weaving Shuttle] may be the key to our turn around our destiny." Xian Ge looked at [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] with the same sincerity. "Perhaps we can impose another seal that temporarily blocks the connection between the outside world." "Wait until you leave the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], untie it." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] After a moment of silence, complex light flashed in the silver eyes. It slowly spoke, "Captain Shane, if you come alone." "I probably won''t give you [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." "But since Xian Ge has spoken, I will naturally not refuse her request." "After all, [Fate Weaving Shuttle] was originally the magic weapon she got, and the other ancient dragons were just keeping it for her." Now, its time to hand it back to Strings. Xian Ge''s body shook slightly. She said in a serious tone: I will use it well. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded: "Then, come with me." It was about to take Xia En and others to the place where the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] was sealed. But at this moment. boom- A muffled sound came from the sea of ??clouds in the distance. Immediately afterwards, a dark crack seemed to be torn open in the distant sky. There was a constant stream of viscous and dark liquid flowing out of the cracks. In just a blink of an eye, a sea of ??clouds was dyed black. The filthy and decayed aura quickly expands outward with cracks as the core. Seeing this scene, Shane''s pupils suddenly shrank. "Is this...Kuri Tide!?" Xia En''s heart sank suddenly, his eyes staring at the gradually spreading black crack in the distance. That familiar and disgusting aura is the power of [Black Tide]! But the problem is. [Black Tide] Why did it suddenly appear in [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]? "Wait...''intersection point''! It''s the ''intersection point''!" Shane suddenly thought of what Vivian had said before. The intersection of the destroyed [Seven Seas World] and the current [Seven Seas World] is located in the [Sea of ??Nirvana]. And just so happens that the entrance to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is also located in that area of ??sea. The intersection of these three may have fallen together by chance! (End of this chapter) Chapter 430 【Corrupt Apostle】 Chapter 430 [Corrupt Apostle] It''s obvious. When the intersection of two different [Seven Seas World] and [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is located at the same time, unpredictable changes will naturally occur. The current situation. It was like opening a passage between the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and the devastating [Seven Seas World]. The [Defiled Secret Power] in the destroyed [Seven Seas World] poured into the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] together under the influence of [Black Tide]. Moreover, Xia En clearly felt it. The [Black Tide] that invaded the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] at this time is far more turbulent and weird and more dangerous than the [Black Tide] on the Sea of ??Nirvana. The reason behind this is actually not difficult to understand. [Seven Seas World] No matter how weak it is, it is a larger and complete world. Moreover, as Shane killed the [Apostle of Sin], he survived the terrible disaster of world destruction. The world will of [Seven Seas World] has also ushered in a sublimation and transformation. It will naturally instinctively resist the secret power from another world, thereby weakening the lethality of [Black Tide]. But the Dragon Nest is a secret realm with a not-too-large area. Its world will is obviously weaker than the [Seven Seas World], and the effect of resistance is extremely limited. This will allow [Kuri Tide] to come to them in a more dangerous manner. However, [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] also has its own advantages. That''s... Every ancient dragon here has extremely powerful strength! Among them, there are many ancient dragons in the legendary realm. And when they are united, the power of the entire race can only be described as unfathomable. Therefore, when seeing the [Black Tide] polluting the sea of ??clouds in the distance, the first reaction of the ancient dragons was not panic, but anger! roar- The angry dragon roar echoed in the sea of ??clouds, making the air tremble. The ancient dragons spread their huge dragon wings one after another, and a rage burned in their dragon''s pupils. They cannot tolerate their homes being eroded by this filthy force. at the same time. A hint of coldness flashed in the silver eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], and its low voice sounded like thunder. "A filthy thing dares to step into the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]!" "All the ancient dragons, follow my orders" "Purify this filth!" With the orders of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], countless ancient dragons soared into the sky. They spewed violent dragon breath out from their mouths. Like a hot flame, it instantly ignited the dark sea of ??clouds. The powerful power contained in the dragon''s breath directly evaporated the viscous [black tide]. Shane stood on the deck of the [Black Swan], staring at the battle in the distance with a serious look. Although the Gu Long and others were strong, he was still a little uneasy. He could feel that in the depths of this [Black Tide], there was an extremely powerful aura hidden. "Captain, what should we do?" Jane walked to Shane and asked in a low voice. Xia En pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered: "All members of [Black Swan], prepare for battle!" "We can''t sit idly." "Yes, Captain!" The crew responded in unison and quickly entered a state of combat. String song spread out the bronze dragon wings, flew to Xia En, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Xia En, I want to join the battle together." Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "Okay, let''s go together." Just then. A strange whisper suddenly came from the [Black Tide] in the distance. The sound seemed to come from the abyss, with endless malice and distortion. It is also like a curse from hell, carrying the hatred that has already decayed. Immediately afterwards, countless twisted figures slowly appeared in [Black Tide]. They have different shapes, some of them look like rotten giant beasts, and some of them look like twisted humanoid creatures, emitting a disgusting and filthy aura all over. It was the weird monster that Xia En and others encountered in the [Black Tide] before. They are both aggregates of filthy secret power. It is also a polluted creature that has destroyed the [Seven Seas World]. Xia En''s eyes were tightly locked in the twisted monsters that emerged from the [Black Tide], and his heart couldn''t help but sink. The aura of these monsters is more dangerous than what they encountered before in [Sea of ??Nirvana]. Obviously, the power of [Black Tide] has been enhanced to some extent in [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But Shane has experienced countless storms and waves after all. He did not panic, but issued the order directly and calmly. "fire!" With Xia En''s order, several secret heavy cannons on the [Black Swan] sounded together. The shells made of secret power hit the dark wave like a meteor. After the purple main gun was accumulating energy, it shot out a terrifying column of light, instantly clearing a large area of ??filthy monsters. However, compared with the offensives of the ancient dragons, a round of artillery bombardment by [Black Swan] is nothing. Countless ancient dragons spit out their dragon breath and ignited the filthy monsters. at the same time. There were also many ancient dragons who launched a charge against [Black Tide]! With its strong body and fearless courage, these ancient dragons plunged into the malicious [Black Tide]. Their sharp dragon claws swung and their tails swept. Wherever they went, the twisted monsters were easily torn apart and turned into a pool of black mucus that emitted foul smell. In the fierce battle, different kinds of ancient dragons also used their own methods. A red flame dragon opened its huge mouth, and the hot dragon breath poured out like a volcano erupting, burning the monsters in the [Black Tide] to ashes. The ancient ice crystal dragon with a crystal-like surface waved its huge dragon wings, and the cold air overflowed, instantly frozen the [Black Tide] into an ice field. The twisted monsters were frozen in the extreme cold, and then shattered into countless ice slags under the ancient dragon''s sharp claws. The blue dragon, who had previously led the way for Xia En and others, spit out mysterious dragon words, as if he was performing a unique dragon language magic. The next moment. Thick lightning bolts fell from the sky, slashing into the [Black Tide], and turning the dirty monsters into coke. The power of lightning not only destroyed the monster, but also briefly dispelled the foul aura in the [Black Tide]. The dragon roar shook the sky and the earth, and the entire sea of ??clouds was trembling. But even so. The monsters in [Black Tide] were not easily repelled. Their numbers seemed endless, pouring out continuously from the cracks. With a suffocating malice, he rushed towards the ancient dragons. Some monsters even began to merge together, forming a larger and distorted existence. Shane stood on the deck of the [Black Swan], frowned. He knew it clearly. With the powerful strength of the ancient dragons alone, although they can temporarily suppress the [Black Tide], if the source of the [Black Tide] cannot be cut off, this battle will never end. After all, behind [Black Tide] is the entire destruction of [Seven Seas World]. Even if the Gu Long clan is strong, it is difficult to compete with the power of the entire world. Thinking of this, Xia En said to the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] beside him. "Your Excellency, we must find the source of [Black Tide] and cut off the channel from [Black Tide] to enter [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] in order to completely end this disaster." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded slightly: "Captain Xiaen, you are right." "But my body has long been integrated with [Dragon Nest Peak] and cannot leave this nest too far." "I will let other ancient dragons open the way for you." "Also, leave this to you." As he said that, a piece of silver scales on [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] peeled off on his own and fell into Xia En''s hands. "This scale carries my power, and may help you at critical moments." Just finished speaking. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] raised its huge dragon head and let out a shocking dragon roar. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! As the dragon roar sounded, all the ancient dragons present raised their heads to respond. Immediately, the ancient dragons took action quickly. Instead of dispersing their attacks, they gathered into a huge team and rushed towards the deepest part of the [Black Tide]. Dragon Breath, Frost, Thunder, Flame... All kinds of powerful secret forces gathered into an unstoppable torrent in the roar of the ancient dragons, and teared a channel in the [Black Tide]. It forms a magnificent and terrifying picture. Xia En tightly held the silver scales in his hand and felt the powerful power contained in it. He ordered, Lets follow! [Black Swan] Under the cover of the ancient dragons, they slowly drove into the open passage. The [Black Tide] around was still rolling, and dirty monsters kept gushing out of the darkness, trying to stop them from moving forward. However, the ancient dragons'' offensives were like storms, knocking back the monsters one by one. The secret power heavy artillery on the [Black Swan] also kept firing, sweeping out a clean area. With the deepening of [Black Swan] and the Gu Longmen. The concentration of [Kuri Tide] is also getting higher and higher. The air around was filled with a suffocating feeling of depression, as if even breathing became difficult. The originally pitch-black sea of ??clouds was gradually replaced by a dark red light. Those dirty monsters also became even bigger and ferocious, as if they were demons crawling out of the depths of hell. Finally, after breaking through several layers of black tide barriers, Xia En and Gu Long arrived at the core area of ??the black tide. The scene in front of everyone gasped. In the center of the Black Tide, a huge black heart floats. The heart kept beating, and every time it beat, it released a large amount of filthy secret power, forming a new dark tide and monster. The surface of the heart is covered with twisted runes, emitting suffocating malice. "That''s the source of the dark tide?" On the deck, Joey murmured in shock. Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed. Because he is not unfamiliar with the filthy existence of this heart. At that time, the [Giant Wood God] of [City of Giant Wood] appeared in front of him with such a heart posture. However, it is normal for him to have certain similarities with the [Giant Wood God] as well as the lackeys under the [Zi Siming]. Xia En calmly gave the order. "Let''s take action together and destroy that heart!" With his orders, the Gu Long and the crew members of the [Black Swan] launched the strongest attack at the same time. Dragon Breath, Thunder, Frost, Storm, Secret Cannonballs, all Secret Power poured towards the black heart. However, just at the moment when the attack was about to kill the heart. A dark barrier suddenly appeared, blocking all attacks. "What?!" Xia En''s pupils shrank, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. Immediately afterwards, a low laugh came from the black heart. "Silly ants, do you think this will stop me?" With the laughter, a crack was cracked on the surface of the black heart, and a huge eye slowly opened. That eye was filled with endless malice and madness, as if it could devour everything. It has a texture that is extremely similar to the [Apostle of Sin]. But its aura is more inclined to decay and decay. If Shane is not wrong, the master of this laughter is the legendary [Corrupt Apostle]! However, judging from the breath of the black heart in front of you. The one who came to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] was not the essence of the [Corrupt Apostle], but his clone! Even if it is just a clone, the aura it emits is enough to make people feel suffocated. The power of decay and decay seems to erode all vitality, and even the surrounding air becomes viscous and heavy. That''s when. The eye slowly moved to the [Black Swan] where Xia En was. "Oh? This breath...is interesting." The laughter of the [Corrupt Apostle] came from the eyes. "You are the human who killed [the great sin], right?" "I didn''t expect there would be such unexpected gains this time." "Although I don''t like that guy, since it''s my Lord''s order, I can only ask you to die." Xia En''s heart was terrified and felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Although the [Corrupt Apostle] in front of him is just a clone, its power is still far beyond ordinary enemies. Those malicious eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and hit the depths of the soul. The next moment. The eye in the black heart suddenly opened wide, and a pitch-black ray shot out from the pupils, heading straight for the [Black Swan]. Xia En''s heart suddenly jumped, and a void color flashed in his eyes. immediately. The entire hull of the Black Swan suddenly disappeared from its original position. When it appeared again, it appeared dozens of meters away, avoiding this dark ray. However, the dark ray did not dissipate. Instead, he twisted and turned in the air like a living creature, and attacked again towards the [Black Swan]. Wherever the ray passes, the air seems to be corroded, leaving a dark mark, exuding a disgusting and decaying atmosphere. Obviously, this ray even has some kind of tracking ability. Seeing this, Xia En took a deep breath. The [Void Secret Power] in the body is constantly condensed. Finally, after reaching a critical point, it poured out with a bang. A tiny black hole that was constantly rotating appeared in front of the [Black Swan] and intercepted the pitch-black ray. The next moment. The two sides collided violently. But this collision was so weird that there was no sound at all. Just constantly swallowing and eroding each other, as if even the sounds around them were swallowed up. After a few breaths. The dark rays disappeared into the air, but Xia''s expression became even more solemn. (End of this chapter) Chapter 431 Fierce battle in [Black Tide]! Chapter 431: The fierce battle in [Black Tide]! It was just one fight. Xia En realized the difficulty and difficulty of this enemy. Even though the dark ray was swallowed by the [Void Secret Power], the decaying aura still left indelible traces in the void. It seemed as if even the void itself had been eroded. "It is worthy of being the [Corrupt Apostle]. Just a clone has such a terrible power..." Xia En was secretly alert in her heart, and at the same time quickly thought about countermeasures. With his own strength, it is probably difficult to completely defeat the clone of the [Corrupt Apostle]. Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes fell on the silver scales in his hand. The key to breaking the deadlock is perhaps the scale given by [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. And at the same time. The ancient dragons in the air have also begun to attack [Corrupt Apostle]. The ancient dragons'' offensives were like storms. The hot dragon breath, the frost breath, the roar of lightning... and various powerful dragon-word magic poured towards the black heart. In this chaotic [Black Tide], a terrible stream of secret power was rolled up. However, the clone of the [Corrupt Apostle] is obviously not so easy to deal with. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered, and dark barriers continued to emerge, blocking the attacks of the ancient dragons one by one. Even if some attacks broke through the barrier and fell on the black heart, they only stirred up waves of black fog. It did not cause any substantial harm. "Silly crawlers, your attacks are meaningless to me." The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] came from the black heart, with endless ridicule and contempt. "Your struggle will only make me more happy." "And, dragon?" "I have it too!" As the words of [Corrupt Apostle] fell. The black heart suddenly swelled, and a more powerful decayed force burst out from it. The surrounding [Black Tide] seemed to have been summoned by some kind of summoning, gathering wildly towards the black heart, forming a huge black vortex. In the vortex, countless twisted monsters surged out from it. Their shape is more hideous than before, and their aura is even more terrifying. Not only that. From [Black Tide], there are also existences with head-on outlines that are very similar to those of the ancient dragon. only. Their whole body was infected by a sticky black tide, and in their dark eyes, there was only the hatred of the living. The filthy, **** and rotten aura lingers around these dragon-shaped existences, exactly the same as other monsters in the dark tide. Xia En''s pupils contracted slightly, and a chill rose in his heart. These dragon-shaped monsters are obviously ancient dragons corrupted by [Black Tide]! Although their bodies are still huge, they have long lost their original majesty and sacredness, and replaced by endless decay and distortion. Under the pitch-black scales, rotten flesh and blood were vaguely visible. The dragon''s wings were covered with holes, and only the empty darkness was left in the dragon''s eyes. These once proud ancient dragons have now become puppets of the [Corrupt Apostle] and become the minions of the [Black Tide]. Obviously. These corrupt ancient dragons are not people of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], but are existences in another seven-sea world. The [Seven Seas World] where Vivian is located was completely occupied by the [Corrupt Apostle], and the ancient dragon among them was naturally not spared. This is why he was summoned by the [Corrupt Apostle] at this moment and invaded this undefiled [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. "roar-" The corrupt ancient dragons roared lowly, their voices filled with pain and madness. They spread their huge dragon wings and pounced towards the ancient dragons, spewing out their black dragon breath, carrying the power of decay and destruction. The Gu Longs obviously did not expect this situation and fell into a brief chaos for a moment. "Those guys...who are they?" An ancient dragon looked at the existences that were extremely similar to him in surprise, and a trace of shock and anger flashed through the dragon''s eyes. They could not believe that the ancient dragon, who was once the same tribe as them, would become such a twisted and terrifying existence. They have been corrupted! "Don''t hesitate to purify them!" The voice of the blue dragon sounded like thunder. The ancient dragons were silent for a moment, then raised their heads and let out a shocking dragon roar. There is no hesitation in their eyes, but instead they are firmness and determination. The battle broke out again, but this time, the Gu Long''s offensive became even more fierce. They no longer hold back, but instead attacked their former compatriots with all their might. The fiery dragon breath intertwined with the frost breath. Thunder and storms rage in the sea of ??clouds. The entire sea of ??clouds turned into a battlefield, and the fluctuations of secret power made the space tremble. However, the strength of the corrupt ancient dragons should not be underestimated. Although they have lost their minds, they still retain the powerful body and strength of the ancient dragon. The dark dragon breath collided with the attacks of the ancient dragons, and a terrible energy fluctuation broke out. Shane stood on the deck of the [Black Swan], staring at the battle in front of him with a serious look. He knew that with the power of the ancient dragons alone, it would be difficult to defeat these corrupt ancient dragons in a short period of time. The clone of the [Corrupt Apostle] is still eyeing the black heart and may launch a more powerful attack at any time. "Can''t drag it down any longer..." Xia En murmured to himself, then clenched the silver scales in his hand. "Xiao Hei, go forward at full speed!" "Stern Song, Jane, Joey, you cover me!" "Yes, Captain!" The soul of the ship of [Black Swan] and the crew responded in unison. The next moment. "Woo" The whistle of the [Black Swan] suddenly sounded like a loud roar. The steam turbine on the ship instantly turned on the maximum power. The speed of the entire ship soared again, like a black lightning, cutting through the dark sea of ??clouds and heading straight for the black heart. The mysterious heavy artillery on the ship kept firing. The purple main gun even accumulated energy to its limit, shooting out terrifying columns of light, clearing out all the corrupt monsters and dark tides along the way. String song spreads the bronze dragon wings and flies over the [Black Swan]. She vomited dragon breath from her mouth, burning the corrupt monster she was trying to get close to to ashes. Jane and Joey stood on the deck, each using powerful secret techniques to open up a path to the black heart for [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, be careful!" The sound of the string song suddenly rang. Xia En looked up and saw a huge corrupt ancient dragon pounced towards the [Black Swan]. Its dragon wings spread out, covering the sky and the dark dragon breath poured down like a waterfall. Xia En''s eyes narrowed, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded instantly. The field of [Big Dark Sky] expanded immediately. It was like a barrier, spreading over the [Black Swan], blocking all the dark dragon''s breath. "Captain Shane, I''ll help you!" Joey''s voice came from behind, her hands folded and her mouth chanted an ancient spell. The next moment. A brilliant light burst out from her hands, turning into a huge pillar of light, heading straight for the corrupt ancient dragon. The beam of light collided with the dragon''s breath, bursting out a dazzling light. The corrupt ancient dragon let out a painful roar, its huge body was knocked back by the light column, and the dragon''s breath was temporarily interrupted. And Xian Ge naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and his eyes were filled with bronze flames and burned violently. The dragon''s breath poured down like heavenly fire, instantly wrapping the corrupt ancient dragon''s body. In the hot flames, the corrupt ancient dragon let out a shrill roar. The dark scales quickly peeled off in the high temperature, revealing the rotten flesh and blood. Its dragon wings turned into ashes in the flames, and its huge body gradually collapsed like a ignited dead tree. Eventually disappears completely. "Beautiful job!" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! A hint of joy appeared on Joey''s face. However, Xia En''s mood did not relax. He looked up at the black heart. I saw that the eyes of the [Corrupt Apostles] were staring at them, with sarcasm and jokes. "Is it just a little dragon that I''m just complacent?" "You are still far from defeating me!" As the words of [Corrupt Apostle] fell. The black heart beats suddenly, and a stronger rotten force bursts out from it. The [Black Tide] around was surging wildly, and more and more corrupt ancient dragons emerged from it. It''s like a big net, surrounding the [Black Swan]. at the same time. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered, and dark chains stretched out from the heart and came straight for Xiaen. A hint of coldness flashed in Xia En''s eyes and he responded quickly. The [Void Secret Power] in his body surged again, and the space around his body began to distort, forming an invisible barrier. The dark chains hit the barrier, making a harsh friction sound, but they were unable to break through this layer of defense. However, after blocking these chains. More chains poured out from the black heart again, as if endless. at the same time. The corrupt ancient dragons around them also approached the [Black Swan]. Seeing the dark dragon breath was about to pour down like a heavy rain. Xia En said in his heart: "Xiao Hei, give me your body." Xiao Hei did not hesitate at all and decisively said, "Yes!" Immediately, Xia En''s consciousness seemed to merge with the [Black Swan]. At the same time, his [Void Secret Power] was able to spread to every corner of [Black Swan]. Just as countless black chains are about to block all movement paths of the Black Swan. A dark light lit up on the body of [Black Swan]. Then, the next moment. The figure of [Black Swan] disappeared out of thin air. It appeared hundreds of meters away like a shuttle flashing. In this state of "man and ship integration", the ability of [Void Shuttle] also acts on [Black Swan]! The sudden disappearance of [Black Swan] made the attack of [Corrupt Apostle] empty. The dark chains intertwined in the air, but only grabbed the air of nothingness. The dragon breaths of corrupt ancient dragons also fell into nothing, and the hot black flames burned in the sea of ??clouds, but failed to hurt the [Black Swan] in the slightest. "Do you think you can escape this way?" The voice of [Corrupt Apostle] sounded again, and the black heart suddenly contracted, and then a stronger decay power burst out. [Black Tide] is like a boiling ocean, surging wildly, forming countless vortexes. As long as you come into contact with it, it will be like falling into the turbulent flow of time and space, instantly becoming aging and decayed. The corrupt ancient dragons seemed to have received some kind of instructions, and they turned their direction and rushed towards the [Black Swan] again. But at this time, the [Black Swan] was like a black flash in a sea of ??clouds. Disappeared again and again, appear again and again. Every time it appears, it is one step closer to the dark heart. Xia En''s consciousness merged with the [Black Swan], as if it had become the soul of the ship. His perception extends infinitely, and every inch of the structure of the hull and every secret force pattern are clearly reflected in his mind. With the help of [Void Secret Power], he controlled the [Black Swan] to shuttle through the sea of ??clouds. Like a giant whale swimming in the deep sea, flexible and swift. Every time [Void Shuttle], [Black Swan] avoids the blockade of [Corrupt Apostle] and gradually approaches the black heart. However, as the distance shortened, Xia En felt more and more pressure. The decayed power emitted from the black heart almost condensed into substance, as if it was about to swallow everything around it. That is a law related to time and space. Once hit by a head, the consequences will be unimaginable. It''s at this moment. The black heart suddenly shook, and a terrifying decay force burst out. The surging [Black Tide] is like an angry giant beast, forming countless dark tentacles, sweeping towards [Black Swan]. "Xiao Hei, prepare for the last shuttle!" Xia En shouted softly, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded instantly. The hull of [Black Swan] once again lit up a dark black light. The void twisted, and the hull disappeared from its original place in an instant. However, this shuttle was not smooth! The black heart seemed to predict their actions, and the decaying secret power turned into an invisible barrier, blocking the surrounding void. "Bang-" The hull of [Black Swan] suddenly shook, as if it hit an invisible wall. The secret force pattern on the surface of the hull was flickering, and the shuttle through the void was forcibly interrupted. But Xia En was not panicked and shouted loudly. "Carles!" "I am here!" Carlress instantly turned into an armor form, integrating with Shane. Immediately afterwards. Xia En jumped hard, and under the dual push of [Void Secret Power] and the steam core, it burst out with an astonishing high speed, rushing directly towards the black heart in [Black Tide]. "Did you actually come to me and seek death?" "Then, I will fulfill you." The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] came from the black heart, with endless ridicule. The next moment, the eyeball suddenly widened, and a pitch-black ray shot out from his pupils again, shooting towards Xia En in mid-air. That''s when. Xia En tightened the silver scales in his hand. "King of Ten Thousand Dragons, please respond to my call!" In an instant, the silver scales suddenly burst out with dazzling light. A vast dragon power surged out of the scales, as if it had crossed the boundaries of time and space and descended on this battlefield. "roar-" A roar of shocking dragon resounded through the sky, and the silver scales turned into a dazzling beam of light, rushing straight towards the [Corrupted Apostle]! (End of this chapter) Chapter 432 【Defeat the Corrupted Cluster】【Fate Weav Chapter 432 [Defeat the Corrupted Cluster] [Fate Weaving Shuttle] In the light column, a huge dragon shadow slowly emerged. It was a silver-white dragon, its scales shining like stars, and the dragon''s pupils contained endless majesty and power. It is [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]! The moment it appeared, the whole film [Black Tide] seemed to fall into a brief silence. Even the surging [Defiled Secret Power] seemed to be the majesty of this [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. The many ancient dragons present lowered their heads and let out respectful roars, as if paying tribute to their king. A cold light flashed in the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. Its eyes fell on its black heart, and its voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. "[Corrupt Apostle], your arrogance and decay will end here." Before he finished speaking, the dragon wings of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] suddenly unfolded. The silver-white light swept out like a tide, colliding fiercely with the decayed power in [Black Tide]. Two completely opposite forces intertwined in the sea of ??clouds, bursting out terrible energy fluctuations. The next moment. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] Opened his huge mouth, and a brilliant dragon breath gushed out. Wherever the dragon''s breath passed, the [Black Tide] melted like ice and snow, and the corrupt ancient dragons let out shrill roars, and their bodies turned into ashes in the dragon''s breath. but. [Corrupt Apostle] is an apostle under [The Mind], and a terrible existence from the Secret Sea. Facing the offensive of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. Instead of retreating, he let out a low and cold laugh. "Are you the master of this [Secret Realm]?" "Although they are only a slightly larger crawler, they are just crawlers." As his laughter came out. The black heart beat violently, and the runes on the surface flashed a deeper light, fighting against the pressure of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. Immediately afterwards. [Black Tide] It is like being injected with new vitality, surging wildly. Countless huge black waves formed, sweeping towards the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. In the huge waves, countless twisted monsters roared and rushed out. Their shape is more hideous than before, and their aura is even more terrifying. at the same time. Those corrupt ancient dragons that were defeated by the dragon breath of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] actually condensed their bodies again under the nourishment of the [Black Tide] and stood up again. Their dragon''s eyes were burning with dark flames, as if they were filled with endless hatred for [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. These ancient dragons were already dead, and naturally they could reconstruct their bodies as secret power was indoctrinated. A hint of coldness flashed through the dragon''s pupils of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], and its dragon wings suddenly shook, and the silver-white light swept out like a sharp sword. Directly slashing towards the [Black Tide] in front of you. In an instant. Two completely different but equally powerful secret forces collided together. In the air. Xia En''s eyes narrowed slightly. He could see that the time and space at the intersection of the two secret forces seemed to be in a state of slow stagnation. The silver secret power of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] seems to be under the erosion of time, quickly turning from freshness to decay and decay. The power is greatly reduced. Obviously, that is exactly the [laws of corruption] mastered by [Corruption Apostle]. This makes the silver secret power of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] unable to break through the [Black Tide] in front of you, causing damage to the body of [Corrupt Apostle]. The two sides are temporarily in a stalemate. But the bad news is. The original body of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is located at [Peak of Dragon Nest]. At this time, it is just a projection of its dragon scales. The secret power on it will always be exhausted. If we cannot defeat the [Corrupt Apostle] during this period, Xia En and others will fall into a complete desperate situation. "Can''t drag it down any longer..." Xia En murmured in his heart, and a faint light flashed in his eyes. The vision of [Seeing the Secret Eye] is opened in an instant! Countless chaotic points and lines penetrated his eyes. The most eye-catching one is the heart where the [Corrupted Apostle] is located. Xia En''s [Seeing Secret Eyes] penetrated the layers of black tides and looked straight into the core of the black heart. In his vision, the complex runes on the surface of the heart are no longer simple patterns, but rather a network of laws woven by countless fine lines of secret force. Each line represents the source of power of the [Corrupt Apostle]. And the intersection of these lines is exactly where its weakness lies. After Xia En was promoted to the legend, his mastery of [Peeing Secret Eyes] has also reached a higher level. I think this is because... Xia En has personally mastered the [Law of Void] and learned what kind of thing the "Law" is. This is how we can see through the laws and weaknesses of other legendary powerhouses more quickly. Just a few breaths. Xia En''s eyes were fixed on one of the weakest "points" of the black heart. "Finished!" Xia En murmured in a low voice, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes. He quickly calculated the path and timing of the attack in his mind. Although the power of [Corrupt Apostle] is powerful, its defense is not impeccable. Especially in the process of confronting [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], its attention was almost entirely focused on the front battlefield and had no time to take into account sneak attacks from the flanks. And this is the opportunity to win! Shane said, "Carles, turn on the maximum power!" "yes!" Carlress, who was merging with him, did not hesitate at all and directly increased the power of the steam core to the maximum. Xia En''s figure in mid-air rushed forward again. His figure was like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the dark sea of ??clouds and heading straight for the black heart. Xia En''s speed was extremely fast and approached the body of the [Corrupt Apostle] almost instantly. However, just as he was about to approach his black heart. [Corrupt Apostle]''s attention finally shifted from [King of Dragons] to Xia En. "Ant, do you think you can get close to me?" The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] is cold and sarcastic. The black heart suddenly shook, and countless black chains stretched out from the heart, lingering towards Xia En like a poisonous snake. Xia En''s eyes narrowed, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded instantly. The realm of [Big Dark Sky] expanded again, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the dark chains from the body. However, the power of [Corruption Apostle] is far beyond Shane''s imagination. Although the chains were blocked, their impact force made Xia En''s body sluggish and his speed suddenly slowed down. at the same time. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered, and a more powerful decayed force burst out from it, turning into a pitch-black ray, shooting towards Xia En. Xia En''s pupils contracted slightly. "It''s now!" As if he noticed Xia En''s intention, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] suddenly opened his mouth. A brilliant silver-white dragon breath bombarded the front of the black heart without reservation. "You guy..." [Corrupt Apostle] He whispered a resentful whisper and had to concentrate his secret power again. Runes on the surface of the black heart flicker wildly to fight the breath of [King of Dragons]. And at this moment, Xia En seized the opportunity. The [Void Secret Power] in his body surged wildly, and the space around his body began to twist. [Void Shuttle] Launch again! Xia''s figure flashed in the air. When he appeared again, he had already arrived before the "node" he saw in [Secret Eye]. Immediately, he stretched out his right hand. [The void collapses! The highly condensed secret power of void is like a miniature black hole that directly detonates on the "node". At this moment, the space twisted and collapsed, forming a vortex that could be seen by the naked eye. Runes on the surface of the black heart flickered wildly, trying to resist this terrible force. However, the most vulnerable part of the entire heart is the hardest. The power of the [Law of Void] is quickly eroding the [Law of Corruption] in it. Those complex runes quickly collapsed and dissipated under the impact of the power of void. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! The surface of the black heart began to appear, and the decayed breath leaked out. "Your eyes..." For the first time, a trace of fear appeared in the voice of [Corrupted Apostle]. at the same time. The black heart beats violently, trying to repair cracks on the surface. However, the power of [Void Collapse] has penetrated deep into the heart, and the decayed power quickly disintegrated under the erosion of the Void Power. "it''s over." Xia En whispered, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. The [Void Secret Power] in his body exploded again, and the power of [Void Collapse] was further enhanced. The cracks in the black heart expanded rapidly and eventually shattered completely in a loud bang. "boom-!" The black heart exploded and turned into countless dark pieces. As the black heart disintegrated, the power of [Black Tide] began to fade away quickly. The corrupt ancient dragons let out shrill roars, and their bodies turned into ashes in the silver-white light and could never be reborn again. But even so. The voice of the [Corrupt Apostle] still contains contempt and ridicule. "This time, you won." "But next time, I will corrupt this [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] together." "The power of []... will eventually come!" Soon, the voice of the [Corrupted Apostle] gradually dissipated into the air, as if it had never existed. However, that heart-pounding decay still remains in the sea of ??clouds. It seems to be reminding everyone that this victory is not the end, but just the beginning. The power of [Black Tide] quickly faded, and the dark sea of ??clouds gradually returned to its original silvery white. Those corrupted ancient dragons and dirty monsters also turned into ashes under the dragon breath of the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and completely dissipated. The entire [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] has returned to peace. It seemed as if the fierce battle just now was just a nightmare. However, Xia En''s mood did not relax because of this. He returned to the deck of the [Black Swan] and looked into the distance with a serious look. He knew that the words of [Corrupt Apostle] were not alarmist. With the integration of another [Seven Seas World], the corruption power carried by [Seven Seas World] will only increase. The pollution of [Black Tide] will become more and more severe. When the three [Secret Realms] channels are completely opened. It is even possible to allow the [Corrupt Apostle] to descend in the [Seven Seas World] or the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] as its original body. By then, it will undoubtedly be another terrible disaster. Just then. The phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] came to [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, thank you for your help." "If it weren''t for you, this battle would be much more difficult." "More tribe members will also die in the [Black Tide]." The ancient dragons not far away also roared at Xia En. Their heads were slightly lowered, as if they were expressing gratitude and respect for Xia En. Compared to the previous moves of imitating the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. This time, the ancient dragons were filled with respect from the bottom of their hearts in their actions. Obviously, Xia En convinced these arrogant Gu Long with his actions. However, Xia En''s mood was not much relaxed because of this. "Your Excellency of Dragons, [Corrupt Apostle] will definitely make a comeback again." "Please be more careful later." Then, Xia En expressed his speculation to [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. A trace of solemnity flashed in the dragon''s pupils of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. It nodded slowly, and its voice echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. "You''re right." "[Corrupt Apostle] and the [Crucifixion] behind him are both a huge hidden danger." "However, after this battle, I can already confirm..." "It is indeed a correct decision to hand over the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to you." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] looked at Xia En with a gentle look and said softly. "Maybe one day, you can use the help of Destiny Weave to go to the destroyed [Seven Seas World] and kill the plot of the [Corrupt Apostle] in advance." "Come to [Dragon Nest Peak], I will take you to where [Destiny Weaving Shuttle] is." Not long. Xia En controlled the [Black Swan] and surrounded by many ancient dragons, he sailed back to the magnificent [Dragon''s Nest Peak]. roar- Seeing their return, countless ancient dragons suddenly flew out of the dragon''s nest. They shook their wings, raised their heads and let out a long roar, as if they were welcoming Xia En and others to return in triumphant return. After this time of fighting side by side. The ancient dragons looked at the [Black Swan] no longer with vigilance and contempt, but with a little more kindness. And on the main peak of [Dragon Nest Peak]. The silver-white [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is entrenched on its throne, waiting quietly. Wait until the [Black Swan] docks in the sea of ??clouds near the [Dragon''s Nest Peak]. Xia Enhe, who turned into a human form, walked down the deck and stepped on the ancient dragon''s mountain for the first time. [Dragon''s Nest Peak] The area near the top of the mountain, the ground is affected by the secret power of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and becomes like a diamond. Crystal and transparent, shining with a dazzling light. Xia En stepped on it and felt a warm energy coming from the soles of her feet, as if the entire mountain was resonating with him. Soon, they arrived at the throne of [King of Dragons]. "Captain Shane, welcome to the core of [Dragon Nest Peak]." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] spoke gently. Then, it gently waved the dragon''s wings. A silver-white light rose from behind its throne and gradually condensed into a huge portal. In the portal, a void space can be vaguely seen, as if leading to another world. "Fate Weaving Shuttle, right behind this portal." (End of this chapter) Chapter 433 [Goddess of Life] [Request of Black Swan Chapter 433 [Goddess of Life] [Request of Black Swan] Looking at the silver-white portal in front of you. Xia En''s mood was expected with a little solemnity. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] As the magic weapon of [Fate Goddess], it naturally contains extremely extraordinary power. Perhaps, when you come into contact with the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], you will be watched by the [Goddess of Destiny]. but. In order to go to the [Elf Secret Realm], find the clues left by Laila. It is also to deal with the threats of [] and [Corrupt Apostle]. He all needs the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated and looked at the string song behind him. "Stern Song, let''s go." "Yes, Captain Shane." Then, Xia En chords and the other two stepped into the silver light gate together. The moment Shane stepped into the portal, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The light around suddenly became dim, as if he was in a dark underground space. Gradually. Xia En''s eyes gradually adapted to the dimness around him. He found himself standing in a vast underground space. The surrounding walls are inlaid with countless luminous runes, emitting a faint and mysterious light, as if telling ancient secrets. An ancient and heavy aura filled the air. It''s like... Time has stalled here for countless years. "Is this the place where [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is located?" Shane murmured in a low voice, his eyes scanning around. And at this time. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] A gentle voice sounded in Xia En''s ears. "This is [Dragon Abyss], located below [Dragon Nest Peak]." "Only here can we isolate the perception of [Goddess of Destiny]." Xia En nodded clearly: "So that''s it." Just then. Xiange noticed something on the nearby walls. "Captain Shane, look, on the stone wall!" Xia En looked in the direction of the string singer''s finger. I saw that under the faint light of the mysterious rune, the rock walls of old age appeared on both sides. On the mural, ancient dragons are roaring towards the sky. It seems to be showing hostility to some high-ranking existences in the sky. And in the clouds, many pairs of cold and indifferent eyes are drawn. I think that was the **** who attempted to enslave the ancient dragon clan in the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. The content recorded on these murals is also clear at a glance. That''s... The **** war that took place in ancient times! As expected. As Xia En looked at the next few murals, he saw that the ancient dragons fought with the existences in the sky. The fierce battle is vividly displayed in the murals. The ancient dragons spewed flames, thunder and ice, fighting desperately with the gods in the sky. The corpses of Gu Long kept falling from the sky. Many gods were also injured in this battle, shedding golden and red divine blood, dyeing the entire sky red. Each mural seems to tell the years of blood and fire. The roars of the ancient dragons and the indifference of the gods were intertwined, forming a series of shocking pictures. And soon. Xia En saw a familiar figure in these murals. Xian Ge''s eyes fell in the same place. She murmured, "That''s...me?" Yes, what appeared on the mural was a bronze dragon with wings spread out and majestic and handsome! The bronze dragon is particularly eye-catching in the mural. Its body is huge and elegant, with a bronze luster flashing on its dragon scales, and it seems to cover the sky when its wings spread out. Its dragon eyes exuded an unyielding will, as if it was fighting against the noble gods. Xian Ge''s eyes were staring at the bronze dragon in the mural, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. She whispered, "That''s...who was me?" Xian Ge felt both familiar and unfamiliar with himself before he was reincarnated. After all, she lost some of her past memories. Moreover, in Xiange''s memory today, Xia En is her closest partner and family. When dealing with those former tribe members, Xian Ge''s mood was inevitably a little subtle. Just then. Xia En gently patted Xiange on the shoulder, his tone of gentleness and firmness. "No matter what the past is, you are now." We face the future together, thats enough. Xiange nodded, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to follow Xia En forward. As the two went deeper, the content of the mural gradually changed. Under the leadership of Xiange, the Bronze Dragon clan launched a desperate charge towards a goddess with a veil on her face. Countless bronze dragons fell in that battle. In the end, there was only one Xian Ge left in the entire Bronze Dragon tribe. After such a heroic sacrifice, [Goddess of Destiny] was repelled. Moreover, a mysterious artifact in her hand was obtained by String Ge. The object is depicted in a complex woven shape, emitting a strange light, as if it can manipulate time and destiny. "That''s [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" A hint of expectation flashed in Xia En''s eyes. I saw the string singer on the picture holding the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], as if urging the secret power in it. Then, a portal to another [Secret Realm] opened. The other ancient dragons were able to enter it and come to the current [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But the string song slept under the glacier because it consumed too much power. This is why she appeared on the [West Wind Plateau] and was discovered by the King of Fire. As [King of Dragons] said earlier. String songs have briefly used [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. The history presented on the mural is also consistent with the previous narrative of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. But at this time. A doubt suddenly popped up in Xia En''s heart. Who left these murals? Could it be that Gu Long carved this history on these rock walls? But do the ancient dragons really have such engraving skills? After thinking for a while, I still couldn''t figure it out. Xia En simply asked [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] about his doubts. Hearing this question, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] hesitated for a moment, but he said it soon. "In fact, the one who left these murals for us is the incarnation of the [Goddess of Life]." "Goddess of Life?" Upon hearing this, Xia En was stunned. He vaguely remembered that the **** believed in by the elves was the [Goddess of Life]! [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] explained: "In the [Divine War] that year, not all gods participated in the encirclement and suppression of the ancient dragon." "[Goddess of Life] is one of them." "To some extent, she is the mother of all living beings [Seven Seas World] and has a compassion for all living beings." "She is different from [Goddess of Fate]. She is not hostile to the Gu Long clan, and even to a certain extent, she sympathizes with Gu Long''s experience." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]''s voice is low and distant, as if she is recalling that distant past. "After the end of the [Divine War], the incarnation of the [Goddess of Life] descended on the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], leaving these murals for us." "She hopes that through these murals, future generations will know the struggle and sacrifice of the Gulong clan, and let the Gulongs remember that history." Xia En pondered for a moment before asking. "[King of Ten Thousand Dragons], since [Goddess of Life] has good intentions to the ancient dragon clan." "So has she helped you fight against [Goddess of Destiny] or other gods?" The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] was filled with regret. "Although [Goddess of Life] sympathizes with us, she did not directly intervene in [God War]." "Her power is more reflected in maintaining the balance of the world and the continuation of life." "She left these murals for us, perhaps the biggest help she can do." Xia En nodded, and his heart was even more impressed by [Goddess of Life]. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! He vaguely felt that he might have some contact with this **** in the future. Perhaps there will be traces left by her in the [secret realm] where the elves are located. "Let''s go, [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is right ahead." The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] interrupted Xia En''s thoughts. Xia En''s chord song followed the guidance of [King of Dragons] and continued to move forward. As they deepened, the light around them gradually became brighter. There was a mysterious force in the air, as if every inch of space was filled with traces of time. Finally, they came to the deepest part of [Longyuan]. There, a huge stone platform stands in the center of the space. Above the stone platform, an object emitting a soft light was suspended. It was a complex weaving shuttle, with silvery white all over the body and an ancient runes on the surface. Thin threads can be seen vaguely around the weaving shuttle. It is like connecting countless time and space. "That''s [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." The voice of [King of Dragons] was filled with a hint of awe. Xia En''s eyes were locked tightly on [Fate Weaving Shuttle], and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart. He could feel that this artifact contained extremely powerful power, as if it could control time and destiny. "Captain Shane, the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is extraordinary." You have to use it with caution. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] reminded. Xia En nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the stone platform. The moment he approached [Fate Weaving Shuttle], the air around him seemed to solidify. He could feel a powerful force gushing out of the weaving shuttle, as if resonating with the [Void Secret Power] in his body. "Is this the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Shane murmured in a low voice. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. Just as his fingers touched the weaving shuttle, Xia En suddenly felt a throbbing for no reason in his heart. It was as if in the dark void, there were a pair of cold eyes watching him! "This is" Xia En frowned slightly. The feeling of being watched comes and goes quickly, but it is like a cloud covering his heart. That [Goddess of Fate] was indeed not dead! Moreover, she has mostly become stronger in the adventure of the [Secret Sea]! However, since you have already obtained the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], Xia En naturally wont regret it. at the same time. Information about [Fate Weaving Shuttle] also appeared before his eyes. Fate Weaving Shuttle Type: Relic Quality: Pseudo-God [Description: One of the magical artifacts of Goddess of Destiny, it has the power to travel through different secret realms. [You can also confirm the direction you want to find your goal through the connection of the line of destiny. [Those who weave fate are also in the big net of fate. After reading these lines of information. Xia En was a little stunned: "Pseudo-god level?" This is the first thing Xia En encountered with quality above the "myth". However, since there is a "false god", there must be a "true god". The reason for this division is that. Probably because... The name of the **** of [Goddess of Destiny] is only for [Seven Seas World]. If she looked at all the [secret realms] in the entire [secret sea], she naturally could not be called a true god. I''m afraid that only existences like [] [] can be called a true god. Xia En stared at the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] in his hand, and his heart was filled with thoughts. This artifact not only contains the power to travel through the secret realm, but also can find the direction of the target through the line of destiny. This means. Not only can he use the help of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] to go to [Elf Secret Realm], but he may even find Laila in [The Secret Sea] directly. But it is obvious that the secret power required to activate this artifact is also extremely huge. Just as Xia En was thinking. The ship soul of the [Black Swan] who was in tune with his mind suddenly reacted. Xiao Hei: [Master! [That thing in your hand seems to be...can be used on me! Can you bring it to me? "Um?" Xia En was a little surprised. This is the first time he has heard Xiao Hei take the initiative to make such a request. However, what Xiao Hei means is... [Fate Weaving Shuttle] Can it have some special reaction with it? Xia En''s heart moved and responded immediately. "Xiao Hei, can you feel the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" What does it do for you? Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with a hint of excitement and expectation. [Master, I can feel that this thing seems to resonate with my core. It not only enhances my strength, but also allows me to break through existing limitations and gain stronger abilities! Xia En frowned slightly, thinking in his heart. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] As a pseudo-god-level artifact, its power is naturally extraordinary. If it could really be integrated with the Black Swan, it might be able to take the power of the ship to a whole new level. It''s even possible... Let the Black Swan sail on the Secret Sea! The ships that can travel in the [Secret Sea], just imagine, make people feel ups and downs! But at the same time. Xia En also knew that such a fusion was not without risks. [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is a magic weapon of [Fate Goddess] after all. The power and will contained in it may not be fully endorsed by the current [Black Swan]. But after thinking for a moment. Xia En decided to believe Xiao Hei! He has been fighting side by side with [Black Swan] for so long, and both sides have long established an unbreakable bond. He knew that since Xiao Hei dared to say this to him, he must be sure. Then, as the captain, how could I refuse such a request? (End of this chapter) Chapter 434 [Fused Destiny Weaving Shuttle] [The Fut Chapter 434 [Fused Destiny Weaving Shuttle] [The Future of the Dragon Nest Secret Realm! Not long. Xia En made a decision in his heart. He spoke of a consciousness exchange with [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Your Excellency, I have obtained the [Fate Weaving Shuttle], please send us back to the vicinity of the [Black Swan]." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] did not delay, and said directly. "Okay, I''ll reopen the portal for you." The next moment, the previous silver light door appeared in front of the two again. Xia En and the String Song stepped straight into the light gate without thinking. When the two opened their eyes again, they had returned to the [Peak of the Dragon Nest] surrounded by the sea of ??clouds. Joey and other crew members were already waiting for their return on the Black Swan. After saying goodbye to [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] for the time being, Xia En quickly returned to [Black Swan]. Shane stepped onto the deck and felt the familiar hull shaking slightly under his feet. The whole ship was slight rhythm, as if we were welcoming his arrival. "captain!" Joey walked over quickly, his eyes full of concern: "Is everything going well?" Xia En nodded and raised the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] in his hand: "We got it." The crew members focused on the artifact that emitted mysterious light, with awe and curiosity in their eyes. "Is this [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Joey asked in a low voice. "That''s right." Xia En smiled slightly, then turned to the direction of the mast of the [Black Swan]. "Xiao Hei, I''ve brought it back." [Master, thank you! Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with unconcealed excitement. I can feel that I can absorb its power! Xia En took a deep breath and gently placed the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] on the deck. He closed his eyes, felt the flow of the [Void Secret Power] in his body, and then covered his palms on the surface of the weaving shuttle. "Xiao Hei, are you ready?" Anytime, master! Xia En nodded and began to activate the secret power in his body. With his guidance, the runes on the surface of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] gradually lit up. The silver-white light spread like flowing water, slowly seeping into the hull of the Black Swan. The hull began to shake slightly, as if responding to the injection of this force. The crew members on the deck took a few steps back and watched the scene nervously. "Captain, this is..." Joey asked uneasyly. "dont worry." Xia En replied calmly: "Xiao Hei is merging with [Fate Weaving Shuttle], which is its opportunity to break through its own shackles and complete its sublimation." As the light spreads, the hull of the Black Swan begins to undergo indescribable changes. The originally pitch-black hull gradually showed silver-white patterns, as if ancient runes were awakened on the hull. The sails are automatically without wind, emitting a faint glow. Such sublimation is very similar to Xia En''s previous strengthening of [Black Swan], but it is different. Xia En could clearly feel that the aura of [Black Swan] was gradually becoming stronger. Every inch of the wooden board, every cable, and every component of the hull seems to be undergoing some transformation. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred! The light of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] suddenly became dazzling. A powerful force erupted from this artifact, directly impacting Xia En''s consciousness. "Well!" Xia En groaned and his body shook slightly. He felt a cold and indifferent will trying to invade his mind. The feeling of being watched appeared again. "Captain Shane!" Xian Ge immediately stepped forward to support him, his eyes full of worry. "I''m fine..." Xia En calmed down and tried hard to resist the invasion of that will. Obviously, this is exactly the will of the remaining part of the [Goddess of Destiny]. And the invasion of Xia En''s consciousness is only by the way. The real main battlefield is actually located inside the [Black Swan]! Loomingly. Xia En''s vision changed. He seemed to be in a vast starry sky, surrounded by endless void. In front of him, two powerful forces were colliding fiercely. On one side is Xiao Hei''s ship soul, which turns into a huge black swan. The wings spread out, emitting deep darkness. The other side is the will of [Goddess of Destiny]. She turned into a woman in silver veil, with a blurred face but exuding a suffocating pressure. The two spiritual forces are in a silent but fierce confrontation, stirring up countless star-like fragments. After several promotions and battles, Xia En''s soul and mental power have already reached a level far beyond ordinary people. He quickly condensed his mental power into a pitch-black sword and slashed towards the phantom in front of him! With his joining, the black swan''s wings became more solid and the power of darkness became stronger. The will of [Goddess of Destiny] seems to feel the pressure. Her figure swayed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed through her face under the silver gauze. "Mortal, how dare you fight against God?" A cold voice rang in Xia En''s mind. Xia En did not respond, but just used the dark sword condensed with his mental power to slash forward firmly. He knew that every hesitation at this moment might give the will of [Goddess of Destiny] the upper hand. The black swan''s wings suddenly fluttered, and the power of darkness rushed towards the phantom of [Goddess of Destiny] like a tide. at the same time. Xia En''s long sword also cut through the void and pointed directly into her core. The phantom of [Goddess of Destiny] opens his arms. Countless fine silk threads were like a big net blocking the black sword and the black swan. The collision of two forces caused countless ripples in the void. It seemed as if the entire starry sky was trembling. finally. With the combined force of Xia En and Xiao Hei, the will of [Goddess of Destiny] began to collapse. The figure of the silver gaunt woman gradually blurred, and eventually turned into countless light spots to dissipate in the void. "You... cannot escape the shackles of fate..." Her voice gradually disappeared in Shane''s mind. As the will of [Goddess of Destiny] dissipated, the light of [Goddess of Destiny] gradually stabilized. Xia En''s consciousness also returned to the real world. The sea of ??clouds not far away was calm, as if nothing had happened. However, the [Fate Weaving Shuttle] that was previously placed in front of Xia En has disappeared at this time. This means. This artifact has been integrated with [Black Swan]. But at this moment. Xiao Hei''s slightly tired voice rang in Xia En''s mind. [Master, I am a little tired and need a rest. It is obvious that the spiritual confrontation just now brought considerable burden to [Black Swan]. on the other hand. It is not possible to fully absorb and digest the secret power in [Fate Weaving Shuttle] in such a short time. Shane nodded and responded softly. "Good rest, Xiao Hei." "You have done a good job." He felt the hull of [Black Swan] shaking slightly, as if responding to his words. Then, the breath of the entire ship gradually stabilized, as if it was falling into a deep sleep. Joey and the other crew members were still standing on the deck, with a little uneasiness and confusion in their eyes. "Captain, what happened just now?" Joey couldn''t help asking. Xia En took a deep breath and explained slowly: "The will of [Goddess of Destiny] remains in [Destiny Weaving Shuttle]." "Xiao Hei was resisted by that will in the process of fusing it." "But now it''s all over." "Then... Xiao Hei is okay?" Joey asked with concern. It just takes some time to digest that power. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Xia En smiled and comforted, "Don''t worry, it will become stronger when Xiao Hei wakes up." Just like before. In the past, when the [Black Swan] was strengthened, it also took some time to wait. The crew members breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Their feelings for the Black Swan have long surpassed ordinary ships, and they are more like their partners and family. Xiange walked to Shane and whispered, "Captain Shane, what should we do next?" Xia En pondered for a moment, his eyes turned to [The Peak of Dragon Nest] not far away. "We need to wait for Xiao Hei to complete the fusion, and also prepare for the next journey." "Especially now, the integration of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] is probably an irreversible major trend." "It is also very important to handle the relationship between the Gu Long clan and the humans on the Seven Seas well." Xia En''s eyes looked at [The Peak of Dragon Nest] with deep eyes. The sea of ??clouds tumbling, and the peaks appear and appear, like a sleeping giant dragon that may wake up at any time. He knew that the fusion of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] would bring unprecedented changes. The return of the Gu Long clan not only means the reallocation of power. It also means that the pattern of the entire world will be completely rewritten. Moreover, there are a large number of believers who believe in gods on the Seven Seas, and there may be a lot of conflicts between them and Gu Long. If the relationship between the two parties cannot be handled correctly. There will most likely be a chaotic dispute in the seven seas. Fortunately, based on the current contact. [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] is not a king who is unreasonable. If you communicate well with it, a chapter of peaceful coexistence is not impossible. And it just so happens that Xia En, who is a human and has a good relationship with Gu Long, can become a bridge between the two. Just then. A low dragon roar came from a distance. Xia En looked up and saw the phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] appearing again in the sea of ??clouds, slowly approaching [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, it seems that you have successfully mastered the [Fate Weaving Shuttle]." The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. Xia En nodded and responded respectfully. "Yes, sir." "Although the process was a bit twists and turns, we finally succeeded." A hint of praise flashed in the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]: "Very good, I deserve to be the human being that Xian Ge is interested in." "What are your plans next?" Xia En pondered for a moment, then said. "I plan to stay in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] for a while and wait for the [Black Swan] to complete the fusion." "At the same time, I hope to further discuss with you the future of the Gu Long clan and the Seven Seas humans." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] nodded slowly: "You''re right." "The return of the Gu Long clan really requires reaching a consensus with the humans of the Seven Seas." "I will call on the elders of the clan to discuss this matter with you." Xia En bowed slightly: "Thank you for your understanding and support." The phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] gradually dissipated, leaving only a low voice. "Captain Shane, you are the most special human I have ever seen." "Maybe, you can really change the fate of this world." A few days after that. With Xia En''s matchmaking. The Federation sent several officers to the [Dragon Nest Secret Land] and held many talks with the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] and the elders of the Ancient Dragon clan. The two sides reached a preliminary consensus on many matters after the Gu Long clan returned to the Seven Seas. The Gu Long clan promised not to take the initiative to attack humans. The humans of the Seven Seas also need to respect the existence of the ancient dragons and not invade their territory at will. at the same time. During the talks, both sides also unexpectedly mentioned a possibility. That''s... trade! [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] has many rich and strange specialties. Especially some things related to the ancient dragon are all the best forging and casting materials for humans. Humans have various technologies that Gu Long does not have. If before the battle with the [Corrupt Apostle] clone. Many Gu Long may feel that human technologies are not a big deal. However. After witnessing the performance of [Black Swan] in [Black Tide] with your own eyes. Many Gu Long changed their minds. They think that human steam technology and magic pattern technology are indeed somewhat beneficial. In this case. Only when humans and Gu Long were able to establish a subtle cooperative relationship. Of course, at present, such cooperation is still very fragile. There is a possibility of breaking at any time. But at least, this takes an important step in peaceful coexistence between the two races. at the same time. Shane and his crew were not idle either. Xia En used this time to further improve his strength. He constantly tempered the [Void Secret Power] in his body and tried to improve his control over the [Void Law]. Xiange is looking for memories related to his previous life in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], trying to awaken more power. And in this process. The aura of the string song is also increasing, getting closer and closer to the line that breaks through the legend. Time passes day by day. The fusion of [Black Swan] is gradually coming to an end. finally. One morning, Shane felt a slight vibration from the hull. It was like the sound of a young bird breaking through its shell. In the hull of the [Black Swan], there seems to be a brand new vitality and power, which is vigorously rejuvenating. [Master, I''m awake. Xiao Hei''s voice sounded in his mind, with a hint of excitement and expectation. Xia En smiled slightly and replied softly, "Welcome back, Xiao Hei." "How does it feel?" I feel...unprecedentedly powerful! Xiao Hei''s voice was full of confidence. [Master, I have completely integrated the power of "Fate Weaving Shuttle". [Now I can not only be able to travel between different secret realms, but maybe... I can also navigate the "secret sea"! (End of this chapter) Chapter 435 【Ship of the Secret Sea】【Ship through th Chapter 435 [Gathering in the Secret Sea Ship] [Secret Land Shuttle] Xiao Hei''s words just finished. Xia En felt a surging and vivid secret power instilled into his body from the [Black Swan]! The talent of [Captain''s Majesty] takes effect at this moment. With the enhancement of [Black Swan], Xia En, as the captain, also benefited. The previous several reinforcements. Because Xia En''s own strength has far exceeded the speed of transformation of [Black Swan]. Therefore, the secret force that Xia En felt was not obvious. But this time. With the Black Swan, the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle] was absorbed. Xia En could clearly sense that the [secret power of void] in his body surged like a tide, and every inch of flesh and blood seemed to be cheering. In the dark, his mastery of the [Law of Void] has improved again. And vaguely. His consciousness seemed to be pulled into a space that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Around them is an endless void, with countless streams of light surrounding it, like countless stars, within reach. Light bubbles of all sizes rise and fall in the invisible and qualitative "sea water". Xia En naturally wont admit his mistake. This is exactly the [Secret Sea]! Obviously, after the integration of [Fate Weaving Shuttle], [Black Swan] has established some indescribable mysterious connection with [The Secret Sea]. You must know. This is something that many secret paths have not been able to do. Now, a ship like the Black Swan has been realized. If it spreads, I dont know how many people will be surprised. at the same time. Several lines of information flashed before Xia En''s eyes. The integration of "Black Swan" and "Fate Weaving Shuttle" is completed! [The ship''s speed, sturdy and mysterious attributes have been greatly improved! Spiritual sublimation completes! [Acquiring features: Shuttle through the secret realm! [The current "Black Swan" can realize the shuttle between the secret realms by locking the coordinates of the target secret realm! [Get the title: The ship galloping across the secret sea! [From today, the Black Swan will become a ship that can set sail in the "Secret Sea"! For the effect of "captain''s majesty". [Comprehensive quality: 7080! [Local degree of mastery of the law of void: 17%! "Is this... a title?" Xia En was slightly stunned when he saw the text on the panel. He didn''t expect that he had not yet won the so-called [Legend Title], but as a result, [Black Swan] took the lead. However, after careful consideration. Xia En felt that the so-called [title] may represent a unique characteristic. For example, the Black Swan can navigate in the Secret Sea, which is probably something that no other ship can do. Therefore, this is recognized by the [The Secret Sea], or the [Great Law]. This has formed a unique [title]. No matter what, Xia En was very happy about Xiao Hei''s breakthrough. The improvement of 10 points of comprehensive quality is enough to show that the improvement of [Black Swan] this time is so great. Even Xia En''s strength has been strengthened again. As for Xia En''s own feeling, he is probably close to the category of an eighth-level secret path. That is to say. When facing powerful people like Moussa and Heller, they all have the power to fight. at the same time. The improvement in the degree of mastery of [Void Law] has also allowed Xia En to develop some new uses of [Void Secret Power]. But it has not passed the actual verification yet. Not long. Xia En opened his eyes and saw several crew members surrounding him. "Mr. Captain, how is Xiao Hei?" Joey asked impatiently. Xia En smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked the ship''s side of the [Black Swan]. "Xiao Hei has completed the fusion, and now it is stronger than ever." He carefully observed the appearance of the [Black Swan] at this time. I found that it has changed a lot from before. The entire ship expanded again. The hull still remains deep black, but in the sun, it is filled with a faint silver light, as if stars dotted in the night sky. Those silver-white patterns are like ancient runes, vaguely exuding mysterious power. The black swan statue on the bow of the ship became more lifelike, as if it would flap its wings and fly high at any time. The aura of the entire ship became deeper and deeper. Revealing a mysterious and extraordinary temperament. Shane stood on the deck, feeling the new power emitted by [Black Swan]. Every inch of the wooden board and every cable in the hull seemed to tell its transformation. The crew members surrounded him and looked at the current [Black Swan] with curious eyes. Although they have witnessed similar changes several times. But every transformation of [Black Swan] still surprised the crew. "Drip-" [Black Swan] let out a long and joyful sound. The next moment. The hull was shaking slightly, and the silver-white runes flashed on the surface of the hull, as if ancient words were awakening. The sails are automatically without wind, emitting a faint glow. Immediately afterwards, the entire ship slowly took off the shackles of the sea of ??clouds and floated in mid-air! "This...is this flight?" Joey said in surprise with wide eyes. Even before this, the Black Swan had already shown many magical features that were different from other ships. But no matter what, it is still a ship that needs to be sailed on the sea. Even the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] is because of the special nature of the sea of ??clouds here that the [Black Swan] can sail on it. But now. Can it even float directly in mid-air? ! "Is this the change brought about by the integration of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Carles looked at the scene in amazement. Both are living beings without flesh and blood, there are actually some similarities between her and the [Black Swan]. So, she could detect it more clearly. The soul of [Black Swan] has undergone some transformation, bringing it one step closer to its true life. "It''s not just that!" Xia En spoke, "The current [Black Swan] can shuttle between different [Secret Realms] like [Fate Weaving Shuttle]!" Hearing this, An''s eyes lit up. "In other words, now... can we... drive the [Black Swan] directly to the [Elf Secret Realm]?" "That''s right." Shane nodded. "It''s time to say goodbye to [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "But now, we have to pick up the string song on the ship first and say goodbye to [King of Dragons] at the same time." In the past few days, Xiange has been practicing everywhere in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], trying to break through the legend. Even Xia En didn''t know her specific location. However, with the [Pupil of Secrets] that can see [Line of Destiny], it is only a matter of time before the String Song is found. And at this time. Several ancient dragons nearby also surrounded them and looked at the [Black Swan] with curious eyes. They all noticed that the ship seemed to have undergone some strange changes. Xia En stood on the deck, his eyes swept across the ancient dragons around him and smiled slightly. He knew that these ancient dragons were curious about the changes in the [Black Swan]. After all, ships that can merge with [Fate Weaving Shuttle] are an unheard of miracles even for ancient existences. Just then. A familiar dragon roar came from a distance. Xia En looked up and saw Xian Ge''s figure flying from the sea of ??clouds. Her breath was more solid than before. Obviously, her strength has been significantly improved during this period of practice. "Captain Shane, I''m back." The string song turned into a human form and landed lightly on the deck, with an excited light flashing in his eyes. She had obviously noticed the changes in the [Black Swan], with a hint of expectation on her face. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "Sir Captain, are we going to set out?" "Yes, you''re here just right." Xia En smiled and said, "It seems that you are ready." Xiange nodded: "Yes, I have touched the threshold of legend, only one last step away." Shane patted her on the shoulder and encouraged. "Don''t worry, when we leave the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm], you will have enough chance to break through." Xian Ge responded firmly: "Yes!" It seems that I noticed the movement here of [Black Swan]. The low dragon roar sounded. In the sea of ??clouds, the phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] appeared again and slowly approached the [Black Swan]. "Captain Shane, it seems you are ready to leave." The voice of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] echoed in the sea of ??clouds like thunder. Xia En responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Excellency." We have been here for a long time, and its time to continue our journey. A complex look flashed through the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. "Thank you again for your help in the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]." "The integration of [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World] will definitely last for several years or even decades." "We will find a way for humans and ancient dragons to coexist during this period." Speaking of this, the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] were paused. "In addition, I have another private matter to ask Captain Shane, you." Xia En looked straight: "Please speak." [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] looked at the string song not far away and said. "Actually, before Xiange was reincarnated, I always treated her as my sister." "Although she can''t remember the past now, I still hope that you can protect her." Xia En was slightly stunned, then nodded solemnly. "Don''t worry, your Excellency." "Shinge is not only my partner, but also my important friend." "I will do my best to protect her no matter what happens." A hint of relief appeared in the dragon''s eyes of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons], and a little emotion was felt in the low dragon roar. "I feel relieved with you." Xiange stood aside, his expression a little complicated. Although she lost the memory of her previous life, she couldn''t help but feel a warm current in her heart when she heard the words of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]. She whispered, "Thank you for your concern, I will take good care of myself." As the separation approaches, [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] rarely acts like an elderly man, said. "If you have time, you can go back to the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] to take a look." "Even if this is not our former hometown, it can be your eternal home." Xian Ge nodded slightly, and a hint of gratitude and reluctance flashed in his eyes. She replied softly, "I will." The phantom of [King of Ten Thousand Dragons] slowly dissipated in the sea of ??clouds, leaving only a low voice. "I wish you a good journey." As the [King of Dragons] left, Xia En turned around and said to the crew. "Everyone, prepare to set off!" "Our next goal - [Elf Secret Realm]!" As he said that, Xia En looked at Jian He''an. [Black Swan]''s [Secret Land Shuttle] is not unlimited. First, we must determine the "coordinates" of the target secret realm. And just so happens that as part of Laila, she is a pure-blooded elves, there must be some connection with the [Elf Secret Realm]. on the other hand. Jane also has the ability to analyze this connection. Shane said, "Jane, An, please." Jane and Ann looked at each other and nodded. Jane walked forward, closed her eyes, and raised her hands gently, as if she was sensing some subtle fluctuation in the air. A faint light appeared on her fingertips, as if capturing some invisible clue. "An, I need your help." Jian said softly. An walked to Jane and held her hand. The auras of the two seemed to merge into one at this moment. An also emitted a faint light, which was the pure power of the elves. After a moment. Jane opened her eyes, and a trace of enlightenment flashed through her eyes. "I found it." She whispered, "The coordinates of [Elf Secret Realm]... are there." As he said that, a special rune gradually emerged from Jian''s fingertips. It contains information about the coordinates of the [Elf Secret Realm]. Immediately, the coordinate rune was immersed in the hull of [Black Swan] and was received by Xiao Hei. Xia En asked, "Xiao Hei, can you determine the direction of the [Elf Secret Realm]?" No problem at all, master! Xiao Hei''s voice was full of confidence and expectation. Xia En smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it: "Then let''s go!" With his orders, the hull of the Black Swan vibrated slightly, and silver-white runes flashed on the surface of the hull. "Drip-" With this chirping, the sails automatically radiated a faint glow. The entire ship slowly turned its direction, and the bow of the ship was aimed at an invisible coordinate point in the void. Gradually. The silver-white light wrapped the entire ship like flowing water. The next moment. The air around the hull began to twist, and a silver-white door of light slowly unfolded in front of the hull. In the light gate, there seemed to be countless stars flashing, deep and mysterious, emitting heart-wrenching fluctuations of power. The hull of [Black Swan] trembled slightly, and then slowly drove into the light gate. Shane stood on the deck, feeling the twists and changes in the surrounding space. In his vision, the original sea of ??clouds was gradually replaced by a vain darkness. Only countless streams of light were left around him, swiftly passing by. It seems to be in a tunnel woven by stars. The crew also held their breath and watched nervously and expectantly as the changes around them. Even though they have experienced many adventures, they still feel extremely novel in the face of this journey across the secret realm. Joey murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of shock. "This is... [Shift through the Secret Realm]?" (End of this chapter) Chapter 436 Encounter [Secret Sea Beast]! Chapter 436 Encountering [Secret Sea Beast]! Looking at the streaming light passing by rapidly around. Xia En was also a little amazed. He could feel the [Secret Land Shuttle of the Black Swan]. Essentially, it is to open a passage through the [Secret Sea]. The flowing light surrounding it is actually the large and small [secret realms] in the [Secret Sea]. It can also be said. At this moment, they had already entered the [Secret Sea] with their bodies! Even though Shane has explored the [Secret Sea] several times. But the previous few explorations were either his actions in the promotion ritual or his submarine with the help of the projection body. This is the first time I have personally entered the [Secret Sea] like this! However, Xia En also realized that this passage woven by silver-white light actually isolated the power of the [Secret Sea]. This will prevent the crew members from being affected by the [Hidden Sea]. In principle, this is a bit like those artificially built undersea tunnels A layer of invisible barriers bears the pressure of sea water for the people passing through it. And obviously. Such abilities come from the [Black Swan] that are absorbed by it. It has to be said that [Fate Weaving Shuttle] is indeed worthy of the name of a magical weapon. Its not in vain that Xia En and others have worked so much effort to get it. However, thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but have some other thoughts in his heart. Since Goddess of Destiny''s magical artifact has such magical functions. So, will the other gods on the Seven Seas also have their own powerful artifacts? Moreover, where are those ancient gods and their artifacts now? Just as Xia En''s thoughts fluctuate Dong! A muffled sound suddenly sounded outside the surrounding streaming tunnel. Immediately afterwards, the entire passage opened by [Black Swan] began to vibrate violently. It also swayed left and right without control. The crew members grabbed the fixed objects around them, stabilized their bodies, and looked shocked and suspicious on their faces. "What''s going on?" "what happened?" Joey asked nervously, his eyes scanning around, trying to find out where the vibration came from. Xia En frowned and looked at the empty darkness outside the passage with a serious look. He could feel it. A powerful and unfamiliar force is rushing to the passage opened by the [Black Swan], as if something is trying to break into this space. "Xiao Hei, can you sense what''s happening outside?" Xia En asked in a deep voice. [Master, there is an unknown force trying to interfere with our voyage. Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with a hint of solemnity. It seems...from the depths of the "Secret Sea"! Xia En frowned even deeper. "From the depths of the [Secret Sea]?" From his previous experience of exploring the [Secret Sea], I have known it for a long time [The Secret Sea] is a strange space intertwined by countless secret realms and laws, which contain countless unknown dangers and mystery. Moreover, in the depths of the Secret Sea, there are many indescribable terrible existences. Facing such a guy, just attracting their attention may lead to a catastrophe. Just then. Jian looked in one direction in the flowing light channel and said in a deep voice. "Captain Shane, look there!" Xia En immediately looked in the direction of Jian''s gaze. I saw that in the dark void and the chaotic stream, the shadows revealed the outline of a huge creature. The outline of the behemoth gradually became clear, as if it slowly emerged from nothingness. Its body is so huge that it is immeasurable, like a moving mountain, covering the stars in the [Secret Sea]. Its surface is covered with countless flickering textures, each of which exudes an ancient and profound atmosphere. It seems to contain some kind of power that transcends time and space. What is most heart-wrenching is that its shape is not fixed, but constantly changing. Sometimes it looks like a giant beast, sometimes it looks like a nebula, sometimes it even looks like a floating island. Its existence itself is like a miracle in the [The Secret Sea]. "What''s that?" Joey''s voice trembled a little. Although she has seen many spectacular and incredible scenes. But the giant beast in front of her was still an existence that she could not imagine. String songs also showed a shocking expression. She could feel that the giant, in terms of body shape or breath, was even several times stronger than the [King of Ten Thousand Dragons]! And at this time. Xia En sensed some familiar aura from the giant beast. "It''s... [Secret Sea Beast]!" The so-called [Secret Sea Beast] is a unique creature in [Secret Sea]. They will shuttle back and forth in different secret realms and gradually grow. This creates a brand new [secret realm] in the heart in the body. The reason why Shane was recognized by the [Rhine Secret Realm] is because he got the heart of the [Secret Sea Beast] in Augustine''s legacy. Xia En''s eyes were tightly locked on the approaching [Secret Sea Beast], and his thoughts were rotating rapidly. It is different from the [Secret Sea Beast] that has been dead for a long time. The big guy in front of him is clearly in full bloom. Perhaps, it is still a fully mature individual. Its strength has exceeded the ninth level division standard of [Seven Seas World] and has entered a new level. Such an existence is not an enemy that Xia En and others can deal with now. But the good news is. According to some legends learned by Xia En, the [Secret Sea Beast] has a milder temperament. Often, they will not actively attack other creatures in the [secret realm]. That is to say. It is probably just a coincidence that [Secret Sea Beast] will appear here. As long as it is not targeted by those malicious beings, it is already a blessing. The key now is how to pass through this area smoothly without irritating it. "Xiao Hei, can you avoid it?" Shane asked in a low voice. [Master, I am trying to adjust the course, but its breath has locked us and seems to have become interested in our existence. Xiao Hei''s voice was filled with a hint of nervousness. Xia En frowned, his thoughts fluctuated. "Wait, is it because... [Fate Weaving Shuttle]?" Now I think about it, the ability to travel through the [Secret Realm]. It is very similar to the rumored characteristics of [Secret Sea Beast] in different [Secret Realms]. Perhaps, there is some connection between it and the [Secret Sea Beast]. Just then. The form of the [Secret Sea Beast] changed again, and its body gradually condensed into a dazzling nebula, as if it was about to absorb the brilliance of the entire [Secret Sea]. Its eyesif that could be called a sightseemed to penetrate the streaming channel and land directly on the Black Swan. "Captain, what should we do?" Joey asked nervously, ready for the fight. Xia En took a deep breath and said calmly. "Don''t act rashly, it has not shown hostility yet." "Let''s observe its movements first." The crew members nodded one after another. Although they were nervous, their trust in Xia En kept them calm. Xiange walked to Xia En and whispered. "Captain Shane, I can feel its emotions..." It doesnt seem to be malicious to us, it seems to be observing us. Shane nodded, "Yes, it may just be curious about us." "After all, it is probably the first time that it has seen a ship that can navigate in the [The Secret Sea]." Soon, the [Secret Sea Sky Beast] suddenly let out a low buzz. The sound is like the sound of ancient bells, echoing in every corner of the [Secret Sea]. With this buzzing sound, its body slowly approached the Black Swan, as if it was about to observe this strange ship closer. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "Xiao Hei, stay alert, but don''t make any aggressive moves." Shane whispered. Understand, master. Xiao Hei responded. As the [Secret Sea Beast] approached, Xia En could clearly feel the ancient and profound power emitted by it. That power is not violent, but rather has a gentle sense of tolerance. Even...there was a kindness. Xia En had an inexplicable feeling. That''s... The [Secret Sea Beast] in front of him seems to regard the [Black Swan] as his kind? Itit doesnt seem hostile. An said softly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Xia En nodded, relaxing a little. He activated the secret power, and the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] in his chest gradually lit up, and he released his breath and kindness towards the [Empty Beast] outside the passage. Since the misunderstanding has occurred in the [Secret Sea Beast], you might as well take advantage of this misunderstanding. The [Secret Sea Beast] seemed to feel Xia En''s breath, and its body trembled slightly. Then there was a gentle buzz, as if responding. Immediately afterwards, its form changed again, gradually condensed from a dazzling nebula into a huge belt of light. Surrounded by [Black Swan]. The light belt is like a gentle river, gently wrapping the [Black Swan], as if expressing a certain kind of friendly emotion. "It...it seems to be welcoming us?" Joey said in disbelief with wide eyes. Xia En nodded, feeling a little relaxed in his heart. At the same time, he began to think about the next action. Since [Secret Sea Beast] showed kindness to [Black Swan], they may be able to use its power to arrive at [Elf Secret Realm] faster. So Xia En tried to use his mental power to touch this [Secret Sea Beast] and convey his meaning. After a moment, [Secret Sea Sky Beast] let out a low buzz, as if responding to Xia En''s request. Then, its body slowly moved. The light band surrounding the [Black Swan] began to gradually shrink, as if guiding the direction for [Black Swan]. "It agrees!" A hint of joy flashed in Xia En''s eyes. "Captain, are we really going to follow it?" Joey asked nervously. Shane nodded, Since it is willing to help us, then we will follow it. "After all, [The Secret Sea Beast] knows far more about [The Secret Sea] than us." "With its guidance, we may be able to arrive at the [Elf Secret Realm] faster." Following Shane''s orders. [Black Swan] slowly adjusts its course, following the light belt of [Secret Sea Beast], heading towards the depths of [Secret Sea]. The surrounding streaming tunnel gradually dissipated, replaced by a deeper void. Countless starlight flashed in the distance, as if guiding them. The light belt of [Secret Sea Beast] is like a gentle bridge, leading the [Black Swan] through the layers of spaces in the [Secret Sea]. Xia En could feel that they were approaching towards the [Elf Secret Realm] at an unprecedented speed. "This speed is incredible." Carlress sighed in a low voice. Jian also agreed: "Yes, with the help of [Secret Sea Beast], we may only need a few minutes to reach the [Elf Secret Realm]." With the sailing of [Black Swan], the surrounding light gradually became sparse, replaced by a dazzling starry sky. In the starry sky, countless stars shine with soft light, as if welcoming their arrival. Joey asked, pointing at the glory not far away. "Is that the [Elf Secret Realm]?" Shane nodded, Thats right, thats our destination. As the Black Swan approached, the glory gradually became clear. It was a huge portal woven by countless stars. Behind the portal, a new world could be vaguely seen. It''s just at this time. Both Jian and An''s expressions were a bit complicated. Jane''s mother and grandmother are both pure blood elves. Moreover, when she was very young, the two left her side. Even after talking to Shane, Jane learned that they were probably not dead, but came to [Elf Secret Realm]. But so many years have passed, Jane''s heart is still full of complex emotions. And An''s situation is even more special. Although she has some memory of Leila. But An didn''t have much real feeling about the identity of the elves. After all, she had worn the armor used to isolate bad luck very early. Almost no one knows her elfs identity. The people you come into contact with are generally ordinary humans. Therefore, I was inevitably a little uneasy about setting foot on that elf land at this time. Xia En noticed the two of them, walked to them and said softly. "Jane, An, no matter what happens next, we will face it together." "You are not alone." Jane nodded, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes. "Thank you, Captain Shane." An also smiled, and the tension in his heart eased a little. Just then. The light belt of [Secret Sea Beast] slowly dissipated, and its body condensed into a dazzling nebula, suspended next to [Black Swan]. It made a low buzz, as if saying goodbye. Xia En bowed slightly to the direction of [Secret Sea Beast] and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, friend." [Secret Sea Sky Beast] made another buzzing sound. Then he slowly retreated into the depths of the [Secret Sea] and disappeared into the endless void. Xia En withdrew his gaze and looked at the portal woven by the starlight ahead. "The next thing is our own journey." "Xiao Hei, prepare to enter the [Elf Secret Realm]." (End of this chapter) Chapter 437 【Elf Secret Realm】 and 【Rhine Secret Realm】 Chapter 437 [Elf Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm] Yes, master! With Xia En''s order, [Black Swan] slowly drove into the starlight portal. After breaking through a barrier that is indescribable. The world in front of Xia En and others has undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally deep void disappeared. Instead, it is a world full of vitality. Three huge suns hung in the sky. The gentle sunshine shines on the earth, reflecting a golden brilliance. In the distance, giant trees towering into the clouds are endless like mountains, and the sky city built by elves can be vaguely seen between the tree canopy. The air is filled with a rich natural atmosphere, as if every breath can make people feel the rhythm of life. "Is this... [Elf Secret Realm]?" Joey widened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. Even though they have seen the majesty of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]. But whenever you come to another secret realm, you will inevitably be impacted by the unique styles between different secret realms. But soon, Xia En''s expression became a little weird. He inexplicably felt a little visual from the scene in front of him. Vital air, clear blue sky, lush green forest... And the almost overflowing vitality around him made him feel familiar for no reason. Not only Xiaen, but other crew members of the [Black Swan] also showed similar expressions after breathing the air in the [Elf Secret Realm] for a while. String Ge, who turned into a human form, walked to Xia En and spoke. "Captain Shane, why is this environment of [Elf Secret Realm] so similar to... [Rhine Secret Realm]?" That''s right, just the observation of Xia En and others. In addition to the three suns in the sky and some buildings that are vaguely visible on the tree canopy in the distance. The [Elf Secret Realm] in front of them is almost the same as the [Rhine Secret Realm]! How can this kind of thing not surprise everyone? Jian had also been to the [Rhine Secret Realm], so he quickly saw the abnormal similarity and couldn''t help but frown slightly and murmur. "What''s going on?" "How is [Elf Secret Realm] so similar to [Rhine Secret Realm]?" Xia En pondered for a moment and said slowly. "Perhaps there is a connection between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] that we have not yet known." He recalled the scene he saw in the [Rhine Secret Land]. Especially the vitality forest and the rich natural atmosphere are almost the same as the [Elf Secret Realm] in front of you. This similarity is by no means accidental, but some deeper correlation. Joey guessed: "Is it possible that the Elf Secret Realm is the Rhine Secret Realm." "Just like the original [Blood Moon Secret Realm]." "Sir Captain, you thought you were exiled to another [Secret Realm], but in fact, you were just teleported to the back of the [Flow Moon Secret Realm]." Shane said after thinking, "This possibility cannot be ruled out." "But I prefer that these two secret realms are independent of each other." "Because, according to the exploration of the Yongyue tribe, they did not find any traces related to the [Elf Secret Realm] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "On the other hand, if this is the [Rhine Secret Land]." "As the Lord of Rhine, I should have some sense at the first time." "That''s right." Jane nodded, agreed with Xia En''s statement and said. "I speculate that the relationship between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] may be the relationship between the twin [Secret Realm]." "Twin [Secret Realm]?" Hearing Jane''s speculation, Xia En raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. "What do you mean is that [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] were originally one, but later they were split into two independent [Secret Realm] for some reason?" Jane nodded and explained, Yes, thats a great possibility. "Secret Realm is born from the heart of Secret Sea Beast." "But no one knows whether [Secret Sea Beast] has only one heart?" "Perhaps, the one who gave birth to these two similar secret realms is the same [Secret Sea Beast]." Upon hearing this, Xia En''s eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered that there were also traces of Leila on the [Sand Island] where the [Norvich Treasure] was buried. Maybe it is also related to Leila that he can get the heart of the [Secret Sea Beast]. even This may be the clue left for him by Leila. However, Xia En had not noticed it before. Instead, he used a simple and crude method like "Fate Weaving Shuttle" to enter the [Elf Secret Realm]. After thinking for a moment, Xia En said. "No matter what, the connection between these two [secret realms] needs to be further explored." At this moment, An suddenly pointed to a forest in the distance and whispered. "Look, there seems to be something moving there." Everyone looked in the direction An pointed, and saw a few figures vaguely passing through the trees in the forest in the distance. The figures were light and agile, as if they were integrated with the forest. Xia En immediately became alert: "It''s probably the patrol of the elves!" "Everyone be careful." Although Shane''s impression of the elves of [City of Giant Trees] are friendly and peaceful. But the elves in [Elf Secret Realm] have been isolated from the world for too long. No one knows what their attitude would be towards outsiders now. The crew held their breath and stared at the direction where the sound came. Not long after, several figures slowly walked out of the forest. Those were a few elves. They were wearing light green robes and holding long bows, staring vigilantly at the Black Swan and the people on the ship. They have handsome appearance, long ears and fair skin, exuding a breath that blends with nature. "External?" "Human?" The elves were obviously surprised to see this ship floating in the air. They have settled in this [Elf Secret Realm] for thousands of years. If it weren''t for the history passed down from generation to generation. Many elves have even forgotten that there are races like "humans" in the world. So at this time, when they saw the [Black Swan] and the people on the ship, these elves seemed both surprised and alert. "Who are you? Why did you break into the [Elf Secret Realm]?" The elf warrior in the lead questioned loudly in the elf language, his vigilant attitude beyond words. Xia En stepped forward and replied in elf. "I am Xiaen, the captain of the Black Swan." "We have no malice, we just came to find the clues left by the former Elf Queen, Laila." "Once the elf queen Leila?" The elf in the head raised his eyebrows: "Who is that?" Hearing this, Xia En''s heart suddenly sank. What he was most worried about was still happening. Time is the most ruthless thing, and it can wash away countless traces of existence. Obviously, these elves in the [Elf Secret Realm] no longer remember the existence of Laila. Just then. An hesitated for a while, took off her helmet, revealing her long silver-white hair, emerald green eyes, and pointed ears. When the elves saw her appearance, they were shocked again. "Same race? But..." And in the patrol, a female elf suddenly said in surprise. "Her looks like a statue in the square!" The female elves'' words attracted the attention of other elves, and they all turned their eyes to An and looked at her appearance carefully. An was a little uncomfortable being seen, but she remained calm and looked back at them with a firm look. "You say she looks very similar to the statue in the temple?" The leading elf warrior turned to look at the female elf, with a hint of confusion in his tone. The female elf nodded and said with certainty: "That''s right." "Especially those eyes, you won''t admit your mistake just by looking at them." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! The elf warrior led meditated for a moment, then said to Xia En and others. "You guys wait here first, don''t act rashly." "We need to go back and ask the elders for advice." Shane nodded and expressed his understanding: "We won''t do anything randomly, please give us an answer as soon as possible." The elf warriors quickly retreated back to the forest, leaving Xia En and others standing on the deck of the [Black Swan], waiting quietly. "It seems that Laila has left some traces in the [Elf Secret Realm] after all." Shane whispered. Ann, as part of Leila, naturally has the exact same appearance as hers. Since the elves have seen Laila''s statue, it means that the traces of Laila''s existence have not been completely erased. The thought of finding clues left by Laila soon. Xia En''s mood was quite complicated. He was looking forward to this matter, but he was worried that he would still not be able to find Laila in the [The Secret Sea] in the end. Time passes minute by minute. The surrounding forests are still quiet, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the treetops. Finally, there was another movement in the forest in the distance. Several figures walked out of the woods, led by an elderly elf woman. She was wearing a robe embroidered with complex patterns and holding a scepter inlaid with gems, with a kind face but majestic one. Her eyes swept across Xia En and others, but eventually suddenly stopped on Jane''s face. "You are...Jane Vivian?!" Jian''s body shook slightly and he looked at the other person in surprise. At this time, Xia En also saw that the appearance of this elf woman and Jane were exactly five points similar. Jane nodded and said, "I am Jane, you are..." "It''s you." The older elf woman showed emotion. "I am your mother''s sister, Kundy, you can call me... aunt." Jane''s pupils contracted slightly, obviously shocked by the sudden news. She didn''t expect that she would meet her mother''s relatives first in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Kundy walked forward, gently held Jane''s hand, and said softly. "You look really similar to your mother, and I recognized you at a glance." Jane''s throat was a little tight, and she whispered, "My mother...is she okay?" Kundy''s expression slightly darkened and she sighed, "Your mother...she''s gone." Jane''s heart sank suddenly, although she had already had some premonition. But when I heard this news, I still felt an indescribable sadness. "What''s she..." Kundy gently patted Jane''s back of her hand and comforted her: "She sacrificed to protect the [Elf Secret Realm]." "It was a terrible war, and we lost a lot of people." Jane had lived for hundreds of years after all, and after a brief period of sadness, she adjusted her emotions and asked. "What about my grandmother?" Kunti replied, My mother, Angel, is still alive, but she is dormant now. "But this time, maybe... it''s a chance to awaken her." While saying this, Kundy''s eyes fell on Xiaen who was beside her. "Are you Captain Shane?" Shane nodded and said, "Yes." "My mother once mentioned your name to me." Kunti asked, "You came for the message left by Queen Leila, are you?" "Anqi... mentioned me?" Xia En was a little surprised when he heard this. He still remembers that when [Emerald Island] encountered [God''s Wrath], he helped Anqi and other elves get out of danger. However, at that time, he was in a state of [Deep Sea Scuba] and was wearing a black robe. An Qi should not know her identity. unless Did Laila talk about this to her? Xia En''s thoughts surged. He looked at Kundy and asked in a deep voice: "Ms. Angel...How did you know me?" Kundy smiled slightly, and a deep light flashed in her eyes. "Empress Laila left some prophecies before leaving." "It mentions your name and you will come to [Elf Secret Realm]." "prophecy?" Xia En''s expression was a bit weird. Why does he seem to always encounter these prophecies related to him? Kunti continued: "The prophecy of Queen Lera mentioned that you will lead us to new hope." "And my mother, Angel, as one of the people Queen Laila trusts most, has been waiting for your arrival." "She has many ancient secrets, and in order to protect these secrets, she chose to go dormant." It will only wake up when she thinks the time is right. "And now, your arrival may be the time she is waiting for." Xia En nodded, and had already made a decision in his heart. "Then can we go to see Ms. Angel now?" Kundy smiled slightly, "Of course." "But before that, we need to go to the [Elf Temple] first." It is where Queen Laila left her prophecy and where my mother hibernated. She turned around and waved to the elves behind her, signaling them to make way. "plz follow me." Shane and others followed Kundy through the dense forest and headed towards the [Elf Temple]. Not long after, everyone came to a huge tree canopy city. The city is completely built on a huge ancient tree, with its canopy covering the sky like an umbrella. The trunks are wrapped around countless vines and stairs, connecting various buildings. This city has the same effect as the [Emerald Holy City] that Xia En saw on [Emerald Island]. They are all a city built on giant trees. But just after Shane and his group walked into the city. Suddenly, a soldier from the elves ran to Kunti in a hurry. "Elder Kundy, it''s not good!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 438 【Black Sun Flying】【Elf Temple】 Chapter 438 [Black Sun Flying in the Sky] [Elf Temple] "What happened?" Looking at the panicked elf warrior in front of him, Kundy''s eyes narrowed and asked in a deep voice. The elf warrior looked up at the sky and said in a trembling voice. "The sun...the sun is extinguished!" "What?!" Kundy suddenly changed her face and came to a place that was not covered by branches and leaves, looking up at the sky. I saw that one of the three suns that were originally hanging in the sky gradually faded and turned dark. It seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow. The originally warm golden glow gradually faded, replaced by a cold gray. "This is... [Black Sun Voiling]!" There was a little trembling in Kundy''s voice. Xia En frowned and asked, "[Black Sun Lie], what is that?" Kunti explained: "I just said that before we left the Seven Seas World, Queen Laila left many prophecies for us." "Except for your arrival at Captain Shane." "She also said that there are three suns in the [Elf Secret Realm]." "They provide light and heat to this [secret realm], just like the original sun, and it is also a kind of existence that protects us." Quintie paused and continued. "The prophecy once said that when the black sun flies in the sky, it means..." "There is some kind of filthy existence with malicious intentions that is invading this Pure Land." "And when all three suns are extinguished, the [Elf Secret Realm] will usher in a devastating disaster, and the end of the whole world will come!" Upon hearing this, Shane suddenly frowned. "Holding malicious filthy existence?" "Is it []?" Xia En suddenly remembered what Vivian said before. Outside the [Elf Secret Realm], there is a barrier left by Leila, which is used to protect this [Secret Realm] from the invasion of [Evil Mind]. Because of this, Xia En can only enter the [Elf Secret Realm] through the power of [Fate Weaving Shuttle]. "Wait, may I..." Xia En looked up at the three suns in the sky and made a guess. The three suns of [Elf Secret Realm] may be the core of that protective barrier! And the extinction of one of the suns means that the power of that barrier is decaying or being destroyed? "Then what should we do now?" Joey asked with a little nervousness: "Is there any way to stop the sun from extinguishing?" Kunti looked solemn and said, "The prophecy left by Queen Lera does not mention a specific solution." "But I think, my mother, Angel, may know something." "We must go to the [Elf Temple] as soon as possible and wake her up." Xia En nodded and said in a deep voice: "No need to delay, we will go to the [Elf Temple] immediately." Kundy stopped talking and led everyone to speed up. Through the winding vine stairs and intricate tree canopy buildings, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the [Elf Temple]. This temple is located at the highest point of the giant tree. Its architectural style is simple and solemn. The walls are carved with complex magic patterns and emit a faint green light. At this time, the gate of the temple was closed. Two elves in silver armor stood in front of the door, holding spears, with a solemn expression. Quinty stepped forward and said to the guard. "Open the temple gate, we need to awaken Elder Angel." The guards glanced at each other, and one of them said respectfully. "Elder Kunti, following the rules, entering the [Elf Temple] requires the joint permission of the three elders." "Have you received the consent of the other two elders?" Kundy frowned slightly, obviously a little anxious. "The situation is urgent, so there is no time to summon other elders." "A sun in the sky has been extinguished. We must awaken Elder Angel as soon as possible, otherwise the entire [Elf Secret Realm] will be in crisis!" The guards looked embarrassed. Just as one of them was about to open the door for Kunti. A hoarse and majestic voice suddenly rang out. "stop!" Xia En looked in the direction where the voice came. I saw an elf elder wearing a dark green robe walking slowly. His face was cold, his eyes were like a knife, and he held a scepter inlaid with black gems in his hand. The tip of the staff gently tapped the ground, making a dull sound. "Elder Sorian?" Kundy frowned slightly, and her tone was a little displeasure: "What do you mean?" Sorian smiled coldly, glanced over Shane and others, and finally stopped on Kundy. "Kunti, have you forgotten the rules of the [Elf Temple]?" "No one is allowed to enter the temple without the joint permission of the three elders, let alone awaken Elder Anqi." Kundy''s face darkened: "Sorian, it''s not the time to stick to the rules!" "[Black Sun Voiling the Sky] has appeared, and the entire [Elf Secret Realm] is facing a crisis!" "We must awaken Elder Anqi as soon as possible to find a solution!" Hearing this, Sorian disagreed. He snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Crisis? We have completely conquered this [secret realm]." "What crisis can threaten us?" Xia En frowned when he heard this. He guessed Sorian''s mentality at this time. The elves have lived in this closed [Elf Secret Realm] for too long, and are always under the protection of the barrier set by Leila. It is inevitable that there will be elves who have forgotten the once terrible [Wrath of God] and the sacrifices of the past. This became a little arrogant and believed that the elves were the masters of this world. "not to mention" At this time, Sorian''s eyes fell on Xia En and others again, with a clear hostility in his tone. "Kunty, there is one more thing I haven''t asked you yet." "What''s going on with these outsiders?" "They suddenly appeared in the [Elf Secret Realm], and then there was a strange phenomenon of [Black Sun Flying in the Sky]." "Don''t you think this is too coincidental?" "What do you mean?" Xia En frowned, with a hint of coldness in his tone. Sorian sneered and said without hesitation. "I mean, you outsiders are likely to be the culprits of [Black Sun Lie]!" "You broke into the [Elf Secret Realm] and brought ominous power, which caused the sun to be extinguished!" "absurd!" Kundy angrily scolded, "Sorian, you are slandering!" "Captain Shane is the person prophesied by Queen Leila. How could he bring disaster?" "The prophecy of Queen Leila?" Sorian scoffed: "That was a thousand years ago! Who can guarantee the authenticity of the prophecy?" "What''s more, in my impression, Laila has never really become a queen, right?" "Step ten thousand steps back, Laila didn''t come to the [Elf Secret Realm] with us at all." "Who can tell whether her prophecy still applies to the present?" Sorian''s words made Quinty speechless for a moment, and Shane''s face gradually became cold. He didn''t want to get involved in the disputes within the elves, but Sorian''s aggressiveness made him unhappy. Especially Sorian''s attitude towards Laila. It made Xia En rarely feel angry. Just as Xia En was about to refute, An suddenly reached out to stop him. "Shane, let me do it." An said firmly. Xia En glanced at her, nodded, and took a step back. An walked forward, looked at Sorian calmly, and said softly. "Elder Sorian, you suspect that we are the culprits of [Black Sun Lifting], I can understand this." But I want to ask you, do you have any evidence to prove this? Looking at the face that was very similar to the statue of Laila, Sorian felt a little oppressive inexplicably. But now that things have come to this, he can''t retreat. Sorian snorted coldly, "Evidence? Your appearance is the best evidence!" "[Elf Secret Realm] No outsiders have ever entered in thousands of years, and when you come, such a strange phenomenon has happened. Isn''t this enough to explain the problem?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! An smiled and his tone was still calm. "Since that''s the case, I want to prove one thing to you." "What proves?" Sorian frowned, obviously surprised An''s calmness. An did not answer, but slowly closed his eyes. Her hands were gently raised, her palms facing upward, as if she was feeling something. The next moment. A faint silver-white light suddenly appeared around her body, and countless tiny runes were vaguely seen in the light. "This is" Kundy''s eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on her face. Sorian''s expression also changed slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and said coldly. "What trick are you playing?" An ignored him, but continued to release his power. As her power gradually increased, the entire [Elf Temple] suddenly began to shake slightly. The magic patterns on the wall seemed to be activated, emitting a dazzling light. The entire [Elf Temple] seemed to have come alive, and was breathing constantly. Even, not only this temple, but this natural and elves power is spreading into the entire city. An elf guard exclaimed, "The Temple...the Temple is resonating!" Sorian''s face finally changed. He looked at An in disbelief, with a trembling voice. "Who are you?" An slowly opened his eyes, with a sacred and extraordinary light in his eyes. "I am Ann, part of Queen Laila." "My existence is a power with the same origin as the [Elf Temple]." She just finished speaking. The gate of the temple suddenly opened on its own, and a soft light shot out from the door, covering An''s body. at the same time. The extinguished sun in the sky suddenly flashed slightly, as if there was a sign of revival. "This...how is this possible?" Sorian''s voice was filled with shock and disbelief. Kundy walked forward excitedly and held An''s hand. "An, you are indeed the heir to Queen Leila!" "Only you can awaken the power of the temple!" An still had a calm smile on his face, and he turned to look at Sorian. "Elder Sorian, do you still think we are the culprits of [Black Sun Lifting]?" "this" Sorian''s face looked shocked and suspicious. Even though thousands of years have passed, Laila''s deeds have been forgotten by many elves in the [Elf Secret Realm]. But these elders still know more or less. Moreover, what worries Sorian even more is that. Will An''s return affect the ownership of the next throne? In fact. The reason why Sorian attacked Kunti was because now, [Elf Secret Realm] is at a critical period when the Queen succeeded to the throne. The queen candidate he supported and the one Quintie supported belong to different factions. But at present, the emergence of An will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the current situation. Sorian understood in his heart. If An is really the successor of Laila, her existence will completely change the future of the Elves. Sorian''s face changed. Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly. "Maybe...I''m too arbitrary." He had to admit that An''s power and the resonance of the temple could not be forged. This power can only be triggered by the existence of a deep connection with Laila. Seeing this, Kundy immediately seized the opportunity and said. "Sorian, it''s not the time to argue." "We must awaken Elder Anqi as soon as possible to deal with the crisis of [Black Sun Voiling]." Sorian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. "Okay, I agree to open the temple." Everyone walked into the Elf Temple, and an ancient and mysterious aura came to their faces. The light inside the temple was dim, and the runes on the walls were flashing with faint light, as if telling some ancient secret. Kundy led everyone into the temple and came straight to a huge crystal coffin. "Huh? This coffin..." Joey immediately felt that the huge crystal coffin looked familiar. Xia En also saw at a glance that this was very similar to the [Eternal Coffin] placed on [Black Swan]. Obviously, this is the same as the ice coffin that dark ice sleeps in the past. It is also a copy of the [Eternal Coffin]. In the crystal coffin was lying an elderly elf woman, her face peacefully, as if she had just fallen into a deep sleep. Her appearance is somewhat similar to Jane, she is Jane''s grandmother An Qi. "This is my mother, Anqi." Kundy said softly, with a hint of complexity in her tone. Xia En walked forward and looked carefully at An Qi in the crystal coffin. Her skin was still fair and smooth, as if time had left no trace on her. You can vaguely see how Xia En looked when she saw her on [Emerald Island]. However, Angel''s breathing was extremely weak and almost unaware of it. "How can we wake her up?" Shane asked. Kundy took out a ring with green gems inlaid from her arms and gently put it on Angel''s finger. Then she whispered an ancient elf spell. Countless green fluorescent lights appeared in the air, slowly gathering towards An Qi''s body. Gradually. A vitality gradually revived from Angel''s body and then spread throughout her body. The soul sleeping in this body is thus awakened. After a moment. Angel slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little confused at first, but soon she returned to Qingming. Her eyes swept across everyone and finally stopped on Jane''s face. (End of this chapter) Chapter 439 【Heart-breaking Apostle】【Fountain of Life】 Chapter 439 [Heartbreaker] [Fountain of Life] "simple" Angel''s voice was soft and slightly hoarse. "haven''t seen you for a long time." "I didn''t expect that you actually found the [Elf Secret Realm]." Jane''s expression was very complicated and she murmured, "Grandma..." Although the memories of the past have become blurred, after seeing An Qi with his own eyes, the past that he thought he had forgotten still came to his heart one by one. It made her feel very moved. Soon, An Qi''s eyes fell on An''s body, and a shocked look appeared on her face. "Lyra...is it you? Lyra? Looking at An Qi in front of her, An inexplicably felt a feeling of intimacy. But An still shook his head and said, "No, I''m not Leila, my name is An." "In fact, we came to [Elf Secret Realm] this time to find Laila''s message." "install?" Angel was stunned: "Does it mean..." But she had extremely long experience after all, and after a brief surprise, she calmed down and turned to Xia En. "If I guess correctly, you should be Captain Shane as Laila said, right?" Shane nodded: "It''s me." Angel whispered: "This is clearly our first meeting." "But I feel for no reason that I seem to have seen you somewhere." Xia En was a little surprised. It has been thousands of years since I saved An Qi in the state of [Projection Body]. Unexpectedly, Angel still had some impression. However, now is not the time to reminisce. Soon, Kundy stepped forward and held Angie''s hand, her tone was rapid and heavy. "Mother, [Black Sun Flying in the Sky] has appeared, and a sun is extinguished." "What should we do now?" "[Black Sun Voil]? Is Laila''s prophecy true again?" Angel''s brow frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. Xia En added from the side, "I guess the three suns are the core of the barrier." "And one of them is extinguished, which means that the power of the barrier is decaying." "And [] will also use this to infiltrate the power into this [secret realm]." Angel nodded and said, "Your guess is right." "The three suns in the sky are indeed the core of the barrier." Kunty asked anxiously. "Then how should we fix the barrier?" Angel pondered for a moment and replied, "Repairing the barrier requires a special material - the spring water of [Fountain of Life]." It is the energy source of the barrier that can repair damaged nodes. "Just pour the spring water into the ritual left by Laila, the power of the barrier can be restored." "Fountain of Life?" Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What is that?" "Fountain of Life is the holy spring of our elves, located in the core area of ??the Secret Realm of Elf." Kunti explained: "It contains powerful life energy and is one of the most precious resources in our clan." "Since that''s the case, we go to the Spring of Life immediately to retrieve the spring water." Xia En said decisively. However, at this moment. An elf warrior rushed into the temple in a hurry, his face pale and his expression was panicked. "Not good! [Foot of Life] [Foot of Life] is polluted!" "What?!" Kundy and Angel exclaimed at the same time. "What''s going on?" Xia En asked immediately, feeling a little uneasy. The soldier gasped and his voice trembled. "We just discovered that not long after [Black Sun Flows in the Sky], the spring water of [Fountain of Life] became turbid and emitted a strange aura." "And... there are many weird monsters appearing around the spring water." They can manipulate our emotions and make us irritable, irritable, and even crazy! "Some soldiers...some soldiers seemed to be manipulated, and took the initiative to walk towards the monsters and never came back!" Xia En frowned: "The monster that manipulates emotions?" This was the first time he heard of the existence of such a monster. What made him even more concerned about was... Will this monster have something to do with []? "We must go to [Fountain of Life] immediately!" At this moment, Anqi stood up and said firmly: "If the spring water is completely polluted, repairing the barrier will become impossible." "We''ll leave without further ado!" Xia En nodded and led everyone away from the temple quickly and rushed towards the direction of [Fountain of Life]. Everyone quickly passed through the dense forest and rushed towards the direction of [Fountain of Life]. As the distance shortens, the surrounding air gradually becomes heavier, as if an invisible pressure is covering the area. The branches and leaves of the trees are no longer emerald green, but appear a pathological gray-brown color. It seems to be eroded by some kind of force. On the ground, the originally vibrant flowers and plants also withered and withered, emitting a decayed atmosphere. This situation is somewhat similar to when I encountered the clone of the [Corrupt Apostle], but it is also obviously different. When they arrived near the Fountain of Life, the scene in front of them was shocking. The spring water was originally clear, but now it became turbid. A half of the water surface was covered with strange black ripples, as if countless shadows were swimming in it. On the ground around the spring, many corpses of elves were lying everywhere. Among them are many powerful people with level 5 and level 6. Their expressions were twisted, and their eyes were filled with fear and pain. Obviously, he experienced great mental torture before his death. There was a disgusting smell in the air. Accompanied by a low roar, it seemed as if countless invisible monsters were peeking at them in the dark. "This...this is..." Seeing this scene, the elves coming from nearby couldn''t help but change their faces. And soon, the emotions of these elves were a little out of control. They became restless, with a wild light in their eyes. Some even began to roar in a low voice, as if they would get out of control at any time. Xia En''s face was solemn and he observed the surroundings vigilantly. Just then. A huge monster slowly emerged from the shadow of the spring. Its body is twisted, like it is woven from countless dark tentacles. The surface of its body is covered with squirming eyes, each of which emits a heart-pounding red light. The monster''s head has no fixed shape. Sometimes it looks like a twisted face, sometimes it looks like a ball of black mist. Its existence itself is like a challenge to reason. Just looking at it makes people feel dizzy and endless fear and anger surge in their hearts. "roar!!" The monster let out a harsh scream, and the surrounding elf warriors fell into chaos. Some people covered their ears and fell to the ground in pain. Others had red eyes, waving their weapons, attacking their companions around them frantically. Monsters seem to be able to manipulate their emotions in some way, amplifying their fears and anger infinitely until they completely lose their minds. "Be careful! Don''t look at its eyes!" Angel shouted, but it was already a little late. Several elves were already controlled by the monster''s power and rushed towards Xia En and others. Xia En''s face turned cold and his body flashed like black light. In just a few blinks, these elves were knocked out. Then, he turned to look at the weird monster in the spring. The moment he saw the other person, Xia En could judge that what the other person had was the [filthy secret power]! However, the secret power of this monster is neither the sin power of the [Apostle of the Great Sin] nor the corruption power of the [Corrupt Apostle]. Instead, it has another indescribable filthiness. Just as Shane looked at the monster. The eyes of the monster also turned to Xia En. Xia En felt an invisible force attacking him, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeking into his heart. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Trying to arouse fear and anger deep in his heart. However. Xia En''s mental power has long been far beyond ordinary people. He has experienced countless tests of life and death, and will no longer be easily shaken. He snorted coldly, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body quietly circulated, isolating the power that was trying to invade his mind. "This level of manipulation is ineffective for me." Xia En''s voice was cold and firm. He raised his hand and waved his hand and wanted to [Fall of Void] to kill the monster. But suddenly. A harsh laugh suddenly sounded inside the multi-eyed monster''s body. Pretinteresting Lord mark "Um?" Shane frowned: "Lord? Mark?" At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had killed the [Apostle of Sin]. I seemed to have been stamped with some invisible mark by []. Will be targeted by the [Purgatory Apostles]. And since this monster said this, it means it is the minion of []! However, it is likely to be the manifestation of another [Apostle of the Immortality] secret power. Xia En''s eyes condensed, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body instantly surged, and a faint black halo appeared all over his body. The armor of [Big Dark Sky] instantly covered the body surface. He looked at the eyed monster coldly, his voice low and cold. "Since you are the minion of [], don''t blame me for being rude." The monster let out a sharp scream, and countless eyes on the surface of his body flashed scarlet light at the same time. It seemed as if mocking Xia En''s arrogance. Its tentacles suddenly stretched out like countless black whips swept towards Xiaen. "careful!" Angel''s voice came from behind, with a hint of anxiety. Xia En didn''t move at all, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. Just as those tentacles were about to touch him, his figure suddenly disappeared, as if it had merged into the void. [Shut through the void! The next moment. Xia En''s figure appeared above the monster''s head, and a pitch-black void blade condensed in his hand, and a heart-pounding cold light flashed on the blade. He slashed his sword without hesitation. The blade of void cut through the air, creating a pitch-black crack, reaching the core of the monster. This knife seems ordinary, but in fact it can even cut off space. However, the monster''s reaction was extremely fast, its body suddenly twisted, and countless tentacles quickly returned to defense, blocking the front of the Void Blade. The moment the blade collided with the tentacles, a dull explosion made. The power of void and the secret power of filth were fiercely confronted, and a disgusting smell filled the air. "roar!" The monster let out a painful roar, and several tentacles were cut off by the Void Blade. Black liquid gushed out of the wound and landed on the ground. Instantly corroded a charred mark. Shane did not give the monster a chance to breathe, and his figure flashed again and appeared on the side of the monster. He clasped his hands together, and the [Void Secret Power] condensed into a pitch-black energy ball in his palm, and then suddenly pushed it out. "The void collapses!" The energy ball instantly expanded and turned into a huge black hole. The terrifying suction force distorted and swallowed the surrounding air, light, and even space. The monster''s body was pulled by a black hole, and countless tentacles struggled wildly, trying to break free from this force. However, the power of [Void Collapse] is far beyond its imagination. The monster''s body was gradually pulled into the black hole. But even so, there was still no fear in its countless eyes. Some are just endless ridicule and mockery. "The power of the Lord... will pollute everything..." "Heartbreaker Say hello to you..." Shane looked at it coldly, his voice cold. "Your Lord cannot save you." With the last shrill roar, the monster''s body was completely swallowed by the black hole and disappeared without a trace. The black hole also dissipated, leaving only a faint fishy smell in the air. Prove the fierce battle just now. Xia En slowly landed on the ground, and the power of the void around him gradually converged. He turned to look at An Qi and others, and said in a deep voice: "This monster is indeed the minion of []." "It seems that as the guardian barrier becomes weak, His power has begun to penetrate the [Elf Secret Realm]." "really" Angel''s face became extremely solemn. She slowly walked to Xia En''s side and looked at the [Fourth of Life] that had recovered from peace. The spring water is still turbid, and the black ripples slowly rippled on the surface, as if telling some ominous sign. "Just...Heart-breaking Apostle?" Joey murmured, "This is the first time I''ve heard of this name." Shane guessed, "This should be another apostle under []." "His power should be related to manipulating the minds of others." Shane looked at the unconscious warriors. He could feel that as the [Defiled Secret Power] dissipated, they would gradually return to the clarity. At this time, An Qi walked forward, looked at the turbid spring water with a serious expression, and whispered. "The pollution of [Fountain of Life] is even worse than I thought." "If it is not purified as soon as possible, the entire [Elf Secret Realm] will be in crisis." An frowned: "But, what should we do?" Purification Stone Anqi said, "If there is the power of [Purification Stone], it may be able to restore the former appearance of [Fountain of Life]." "only" Xia En frowned slightly: "Just what?" An Qi smiled bitterly on her face. "The current [Elf Secret Realm] may no longer exist in the existence of [Purification Stone]." Xia En''s heart sank: "What does this mean?" Anqi explained: "In fact, originally, there were their own indigenous people in the [Elf Secret Realm]." "And this [Fountain of Life] and [Purification Stone] are actually their belongings." (End of this chapter) Chapter 440 【Ancient Spiritual Clan】【Crisis in the Rhine Secret Realm】 Chapter 440 [Ancient Spiritual Clan] [Crisis in the Rhine Secret Realm] "The indigenous people of [Elf Secret Realm]?" Xia En raised his eyebrows. If you think about it carefully, it is the same. Since there are indigenous people in the [Rhine Secret Land]. Then, the [Elf Secret Realm], which is very similar to it, and even like the twin sisters, will naturally have its own indigenous residents. only The elves now have occupied the [Elf Secret Realm]. Where are those indigenous people now? Xia En looked at An Qi with inquiring eyes. Angel''s eyes became deep, as if she was trapped in distant memories. She said slowly, Those indigenous people are called [Ancient Spirits]. "They are the first residents of this [secret realm]." "[Fountain of Life] and [Stone of Purification] are their holy objects, with incredible power." Ancient Spiritual Clan..." Xia En repeated the name in a low voice, and couldn''t help but think of the existence hidden in the forest in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Will these two be the same creatures? Anqi continued, "Long time ago, the [Ancient Spirits] reached an agreement with us to allow us to settle in this [Secret Land]." "In exchange, we must protect the [Fountain of Life] and [Purification Stone] and respect the traditions and beliefs of the [Ancient Spirits]." "However, as time goes by, the [Ancient Spirits] gradually disappears." "No one knows where they went, and no one knows whether they still exist in this [secret realm]." We tried to find their traces, but we never found anything. Shane frowned: "Suddenly disappeared?" "Where is the [purification stone] before?" Angel replied, "Actually, before you came to the [Elf Secret Realm], [Fountain of Life] was polluted by an unknown force." "At that time, we used the power of [Purification Stone] to restore it to this." "But [Purification Stone] also lost its effectiveness." "Lost your service?" Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. "Yes, please come with me." Under Angel''s leadership, everyone walked through a deep forest and came to a stone altar wrapped in ancient vines. In the middle of the altar, a broken crystal lay there quietly. Its condition is dull and its surface is covered with cracks, as if it will completely shatter at any time. Angel''s voice was low, with a little regret and helplessness. "This is [Purification Stone]." Xia En walked forward and looked at the broken crystal carefully. Its shape and texture made him feel inexplicably familiar. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the stone, and a faint coldness came from his fingertips. Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked. Xia En said in surprise: "Is this... [Rhinstone]?" "Rhinestone?" Before Angel could speak, Joey beside her couldn''t help but show a surprised expression. "Is it the [Rhine Stone] mined in the [Rhine Secret Land]?" The crew members on the Black Swan are naturally familiar with the Rhinestone. After all, Shane not only mined [rhinite] on a large scale in the [Rhine Secret Land], but even sold the excess [rhinite] to the chamber of commerce for transactions. "That''s right." Shane nodded: "However, this seems to be the extremely purity of [rhinite]." "Even the [Rhinite Spirit] we have discovered now is far from reaching such purity." After hearing these words, An Qi couldn''t help asking curiously. "Rhin Stone?Rhin Secret Realm? What is that?" "That''s right." "Actually, when I was in the [Seven Seas World], I once got a [Secret Sea Beast] heart..." In the shortest possible words, Shane explained to Angel the origin of the [Rhine Secret Realm] and its extraordinary similarity to the [Elf Secret Realm]. After hearing Xia En''s explanation, An Qi''s eyes flashed with shock and thoughts. She said slowly, "So that''s it..." "There must be some deep connection between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm]." She looked down at the broken [Purification Stone] and said, "If this [Purification Stone] is really the [Rhinestone] you are talking about." "Then, maybe we can find alternatives from the Rhine Secret Realm to purify the Fountain of Life." Shane nodded and said, "I will return to the [Rhine Secret Realm] now and find the pure enough [Rhine Stone]." "Ms. Angel, please control the pollution of [Fountain of Life] as much as possible during this period." "At the same time, be careful, the monster that was the previous one appeared again." Angel nodded and said, "I will." After saying this, Xia En did not hesitate and directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. A silver door of light was open in front of me. Xia En and the crew walked into the light gate and returned to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. At this time, in [Rhine City]. It''s still a prosperous scene. The tree people, dwarves and Yongyue people in the city are all building their own homes in full swing. The entire [Rhine City] looks like it has changed a lot compared to before. Joey and other crew members hadn''t come to [Rhine City] for a while, and couldn''t help but be surprised by the scene in front of them. She couldn''t help but sigh, "I didn''t expect that the change in [Rhine City] was so big after just so short." The streets are built more tidy and spacious with the efforts of dwarves and tree people. The magic patterns on the building exudes an extraordinary mysterious aura. The clothes of the residents in the city have also undergone significant changes. The appearance rate of excellent armor made by dwarves has greatly increased. The market in the city has also become more lively. Various rare items from their respective races are traded here, such as the dwarf''s exquisite weapons, the magic plants of the tree people, and the preys that the Yongyue tribe tribe tribe hunted. There are a wide range of things, dazzling. The arrival of Xia En and his group naturally attracted the attention of the people in the city. "Mr. Xiaen, you are here!" Sha Jingjing quickly rushed to Xia En, and looked at Joey and others in surprise. Generally speaking, Shane will not bring the crew to the [Rhine Secret Land]. unless What''s important? Sha Jingjing immediately corrected her expression and asked. "Mr. Xiaen, what happened?" Xia En nodded and said with a serious expression: "The [Fourth of Life] in the [Elf Secret Realm] is polluted." "We need to find a pure enough [rhinite] to purify it." Sha Jingjing frowned: "A sufficiently pure [rhinite], isn''t the previous [rhinite] enough?" "Yes." Shane nodded: "I suspect that only in the depths of the [Rhine Secret Realm], and even in the realms of the life of the indigenous people, can we find that kind of purity [Rhine Stone]." "I see." Sha Jingjing said, "When it comes to the indigenous people, I have an important news to report." "These days, traces of the mysterious creatures that were previously appeared outside [Rhine City]." "The nearest footprint is not even more than one hundred meters away from [Rhine City]!" "They probably came to the vicinity of [Rhine City] while the night was dark and observed us." Hearing this, Xia En''s expression suddenly became solemn. "Are they coming?" At this point on the panel. The exploration level of [Rhine Secret Realm] has reached 19.8%! According to Xia En''s exploration, every 10% exploration degree, [Rhine City] will usher in the "test" law of an unknown disaster. The enemy''s footsteps may have been very close. Not only that. As the Lord of Rhine, Xia En also noticed that the breath in the surrounding air became a little restless. Xia En took a deep breath, glanced across the streets of [Rhine City], and felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where is Feiya?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "Why didn''t you see him?" Sa Jingjing said: "In fact, in order to pursue the traces of unknown creatures, Mr. Feiya has gone out of the city with several [Yongyue Clan] warriors and the tree man elder Iris." "Count the time, it''s the fourth day." The fourth day Xia En frowned slightly. "It''s been four days, and have they not heard anything back?" Sha Jingjing nodded and said, "Yes." "But, just a few days ago, Elder Iris broke through to the legendary realm and his strength increased greatly." "It should be...it won''t be a problem, right?" Xia En shook his head, "Not necessarily." If it is really as he thought, [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] are extremely similar existences. Then, there will definitely be powerful existences in [Rhine Secret Realm] that surpasses legends. "No, I have to go and see it myself." Xia En said decisively, then turned to look at Joey and others. "You go with me, Feiya and the others may be in trouble." Soon, the group quickly left [Rhine City] and rushed towards the direction where Fei Ya and others finally appeared. As they penetrated into the forest, the surrounding environment gradually became strange. The originally dense trees began to emit a faint fluorescence, and a pure natural secret power flowed between the branches and leaves. There was a fresh breath in the air. However, there is a certain danger hidden in this tranquility, as if something is peeking at them in the dark. It makes people feel uneasy instinctively. And in the clearings of the forest, there was a huge, obviously inhuman footprint. "These traces... are exactly the same as those found before." Sha Jingjing whispered, with obvious vigilance in her tone. Xia En nodded, his eyes swept around, and a slight sense of oppression was felt in his heart. He could feel that some kind of malice was being released in the forest. Or, resisting their entry. It''s obvious. This place is the home ground for those indigenous peoples. Even if Xia En has the identity of [Lord of Rhine], this influence cannot be completely eliminated. And Joey and others felt even more obvious. They even felt a slight pain like a needle **** on the surface of their skin, which was very uncomfortable. Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation came from a distance. Accompanied by a low roar and a metal collision. Xia En''s eyes froze and he immediately accelerated his pace. Joey whispered, "It''s Feiya and the others!" Everyone quickly passed through a dense forest, and the scene in front of them made everyone gasp. Fei Ya and several [Yongyue Clan] warriors are fighting fiercely with a group of strange monsters. The whole body of those monsters is condensed from pure natural secret forces, and the shape is like a huge ape. The body is transparent and flickering, as if it is integrated with the surrounding natural environment. Their attacks are extremely strange, and they can summon vines, rocks and strong winds with a wave. The offensive was fierce and fatal. Treeman elder Iris is confronting a giant ape creature dozens of meters high. Although Eris has broken through to the legendary realm. But when facing this monster, I still seem helpless. His trunk was covered with cracks, and his branches and leaves were constantly withering, and he was obviously seriously injured. The two sides collided again and again. Each impact causes fluctuations of the earth and mountains. "What the **** are these guys...?" Sha Jingjing exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes full of shock. Xia En''s eyes were locked tightly on the translucent giant apes, and he felt a little familiar in his heart. The aura of these guys is exactly the same as the natural secret power of the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Most of them were the existence summoned by the indigenous people of this secret realm. Although their attacks are powerful, they do not have the filthy and evil aura of []. Instead, it carries a pure and ancient power. "They may be the creations of the [Rhine Secret Land] indigenous peoples to protect themselves." Xia En whispered, then raised his hand and waved it: "Prepare for the fight!" Before he finished speaking, Xia En''s figure rushed out like lightning. The [Void Secret Power] in his body instantly surged, and a faint black halo appeared all over his body. [Big Dark Sky]''s armor was covered with armor, and the blade of void in his hand cut through the air. It was approaching the giant ape that suppressed Eris. Xia En was extremely fast and approached the giant ape almost instantly. The blade of void flashed with dark light in his hands, as if it could devour all light. The giant ape seemed to notice the danger, turned around suddenly, let out a deafening roar, and waved its huge fist to hit Xia En. "boom!" The Void Blade collided with the giant ape''s fist and burst out with strong energy fluctuations. Xia En felt a huge shock force and couldn''t help but take a few steps back. However, the giant ape was not feeling well. A deep wound was cut by the blade of void, and pure natural secret power continued to escape from the wound. Xia En was a little surprised. The power of this giant ape actually approached him faintly? ! He hasn''t met an existence that can compete with himself in terms of physical fitness for a long time. No wonder this giant ape was able to suppress the legendary tree man elder Eris. But even so. Not only did Xia En''s heart not be afraid, but instead a stronger fighting spirit emerged. "Come on the fight!" Xia En shouted violently and activated the [Giant Wrist Wheel] that he had not used for a long time. Rumble Accompanied by the surging sound of qi and blood in the blood vessels. Xia En''s body continued to rise and expand, and eventually became a terrifying and majestic giant standing in this forest. Xia En lowered his head and looked at the giant ape below, showing a "kind" smile. (End of this chapter) Chapter 441 【The war is coming】【The anomaly of the a Chapter 441 [The War is Coming] [Anomaly of the Ancient Spirit Clan] As Xia En''s comprehensive quality continues to improve. The once brilliant [Giant Wrist Wheel] has gradually decreased the number of uses. On the one hand, it is because this tool has its upper limit, which makes Xia En''s increase less obvious. On the other hand, the battles that Xia En often does not require him to transform into a giant to fight. And this time, facing this huge giant ape. Xia En can finally use the [Giant Wrist Wheel] to crush it with an absolute body shape. At this moment. The giant ape looked up at Xia En, who had suddenly become extremely huge, with a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. But soon, the shock was replaced by rage. It let out a deafening roar, punched its chest with both fists, then jumped up suddenly and pounced towards Xia En. boom! ! Xia En did not give in, and his huge fist collided with the giant ape''s fist. Two terrifying forces converged in the air, making a deafening roar. The surrounding trees were overturned by shock waves, and deep ravines cracked on the ground. Bang! The giant ape was knocked back by Xia En''s punch, and its huge body slammed heavily on the ground, stirring up a piece of dust. In this fight of pure power, Xia En''s brute force is on top of this giant ape! However, the giant ape quickly turned over, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes, and rushed towards Xia En again. Xia En''s expression did not change, and his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind the giant ape. He clasped his hands together, and the secret power of the void condensed into a huge black light blade in his palm, and slashed down suddenly. "laugh-" A deep bone-observable wound was cut by a light blade on the back of the giant ape, and pure natural secret power gushed out like blood. The giant ape let out a painful roar and staggered forward. However, it did not fall down. The giant ape suddenly turned around and opened its huge mouth. A dazzling beam of natural secret power spewed out of its mouth, reaching Xia En. Xia En''s pupils shrank and he quickly raised his arms. The armor of [Big Dark Sky] condensed into a huge black shield in front of him. "boom!" The beam hit the shield and burst out with dazzling light, but could not hurt Xia En at all. immediately. Xia En took a deep breath. The [Void Secret Power] in the body surged wildly, and the aura around her suddenly rose. "Since that''s the case, then try this trick!" Xia En held up his hands, and the Void Blade quickly expanded in his hands, and eventually turned into a giant black light blade that was dozens of meters long. He swung his sword, and the light blade cut through the air, slashing at the giant ape with the momentum of destruction. "cut!" The giant ape seemed to feel the threat of death, let out a shrill roar, and punched the ground with both fists. A huge barrier of natural secret power rose in front of it. "Boom-" The light blade collided with the barrier, and a earth-shaking sound broke out. The barrier quickly collapsed under the impact of the light blade and eventually shattered completely. The black light remained unabated and directly slashed on the giant ape. laugh- The giant ape''s body was divided into two by the light blade, and the pure natural secret power poured out like a waterfall. Its body slowly fell down and eventually turned into countless spots of light that dissipated in the air. Seeing the giant ape disappearing, Xia En couldn''t feel relieved. Dont look at this giant ape that seems to be easily destroyed by him. But even for a legendary tree man like Eris, this giant ape still has extremely strong suppression. And [Rhine City] only has one Shane. But there are probably more than one giant ape like this. If they appear on the battlefield against Rhine City, the situation will probably become extremely dangerous. Xia En touched the state of transforming into a giant, retracted his thoughts and glanced around. At this time, as the giant ape disappeared, other monsters condensed by natural secret power also retreated one after another, as if they were summoned to them, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest. Feiya and the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan] breathed a sigh of relief, put away their weapons and walked towards Xia En. "Mr. Xiaen, you came too soon!" Feiya''s face was a little tired, but her eyes were still sharp. "These monsters suddenly appeared, and we didn''t have time to react, so we almost..." Xia En nodded: "Feiya, as long as you''re fine." Then his eyes fell on Eris. The tree man elder has already recovered, but the scars on his body are still shocking. "Elder Eris, are you okay?" Eris smiled reluctantly, his voice low and hoarse. "Thank you, Lord Xia En, for your concern, I can still hold on." "I was careless this time. I thought I had broken through the legend and there shouldn''t be too much risk, but I didn''t expect to meet these guys." "The power of these monsters is far beyond our imagination." "They seem to be able to control the natural secret power of the entire forest, and we simply cannot exert all our strength here." Xia En frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. "It seems that the indigenous people of the [Rhine Secret Land] have begun to act." Just then. An turned his head suddenly and looked in a direction in the forest. "Captain Shane, there... seems to be something there!" Xia En carefully understood and immediately caught a secretly peeping gaze. After detecting An and Xia En''s actions, the other party seemed to be surprised. Not only did he look away, he also flew towards the depths of the forest. But since it has been discovered, how could Shane let it escape easily? "Hmph, do you want to escape?" A faint light flashed in Xia En''s eyes. [Seeing the Secret Eye]''s vision is directly opened, and a blurry outline is instantly seen in the forest. It was a slender creature. The whole body is shrouded in a faint layer of natural secret power, as if it is integrated with the surrounding forest. Its movements were extremely agile, traveling between the trees like a gust of wind. If it is the naked eye, it is almost impossible to detect its existence. But in the field of vision of [Seeing Secret Eyes], it is like a lighthouse in the darkness and has nowhere to hide. Xia En used the ability of [Void Shuttle] one after another. It came to it in just a few breaths. "Catch you!" What appeared in front of Xia En was a humanoid creature less than half a meter tall. Behind him was a pair of thin wings, with slightly pointed ears, and his pupils were as green as his hair. It looks like an enlarged version of the goblin. Or, a reduced version of the elves? "Is this... [Ancient Spirit Clan]?" Xia En raised his brow and looked at the other party: "What do you want to do? Why are you peeking at us?" This [Ancient Spirit Clan] seemed to realize that he could not escape, so he looked at Xia En with anger. "Enemy! Kill! Exit!" [Ancient Spiritual Clan] What he said was a strange language, but Xia En was inexplicably able to understand the meaning of his words. It is as if this language has some ability to directly convey information. Although Xia En had long known that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] had great hostility towards them, he still tried to communicate with the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in front of him. "I have no intention of being an enemy of you." "[The Rhine Secret Realm] is so big, why can''t we live in peace?" The [Ancient Spirit Clan] sneered. "Enemy is the enemy!" "The enemy you eliminate is the good enemy." Upon hearing this, Xia En frowned. [Ancient Spirit Clan] The stubborn attitude exceeded his expectations. He thought that after communicating with the [Ancient Spirits], a war might be avoided. But now it seems that there is a battle between them! Soon, Ann, Joey and others rushed to Xia En''s side. The fairy Trixi flew out from An''s shoulder and looked at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in surprise. "This guy... looks like me!" "Just a big circle?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! But at this time, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] looked at An in amazement. "Elf!?" "Um?" Seeing his reaction, Xia En raised his brow. "Do you recognize the elves?" In Xia En''s original idea, the [Ancient Spirits] in the [Rhine Secret Realm] should be the native natives here. You shouldn''t know a race like the elves. But at this time, this [Ancient Spirit Clan] clearly expressed the meaning of the word "elves". This shows that these [Ancient Spirit Clans] have definitely seen and contacted elves! Combined with the information Xia En got from Anqi. Then, there is only one answer. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] that lives in the [Rhine Secret Realm] is most likely a group that disappeared in the [Elf Secret Realm]. Even the same race was born in the [Rhine Secret Realm]. But at least, there must be some [Ancient Spirits] migrating from [Elf Secret Realm]. But the problem is... How did they complete such a migration across the [Secret Realm]? Various possibilities flashed through Shane''s mind. He realized that the connection between [Rhine Secret Realm] and [Elf Secret Realm] might be deeper than he thought. If the [Ancient Spirit Clan] can migrate across the secret realm, then there may be some kind of...channel between these two secret realms? "You came from [Elf Secret Realm], right?" Xia En looked directly at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in front of him, with a hint of temptation in his tone. [Ancient Spirit Clan]''s eyes flashed, and obviously he didn''t expect Xia En to ask this question directly. His expression became complicated, as if he was hesitating whether to answer. But soon, when I saw An beside me, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] immediately showed an angry expression. "Elf! Take away our home!" "Now... I won''t let us go!" "Enemy! They are all enemies!" Xia En was slightly stunned. This is different from what Angel told him. In the mouth of the [Ancient Spirits], the elves became the culprit who took away their homes and forced them to come to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. But in Anqi''s mouth, they clearly reached an alliance with the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. But the [Ancient Spirit Clan] itself disappeared quietly. Could it be...Anqi was lying? But then he thought about it, Xia En felt that Anqi would not lie about such things. Then, the only explanation left is... Are there some misunderstandings in this? Some of the actions of the elves were considered to be expelling them by the [Ancient Spiritual Clan]? But whatever the reason. [Ancient Spiritual Clan] Treat elves and their malice intent are real. It is obviously unrealistic to use the power of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] to purify the polluted [Fountain of Life]. Xia En looked at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] again and said. "I''ll repeat it last." "I have no intention of provoking war, as long as you live quietly in your own territory and no longer covet my [Rhine City]." We may not be unable to live in peace. In response to this, [Ancient Spirit Clan] just sneered. "Peace...Impossible!" "Our army is already gathering." "Your city is destined to be destroyed!" After saying that, the secret power in the body of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] surged, and then it directly broke its heart and died. Xia En frowned at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] lying on the ground. He didn''t expect that the other party would be so decisive and would rather commit suicide than disclose more information. This extreme reaction made him feel vaguely uneasy. "Captain Shane, what should I do now?" Joey walked forward and asked in a low voice. Xia En pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The attitude of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is already very clear, they will not live in peace with us." "And, from his words, they are already gathering and ready to attack us." "He wants to fight, then fight!" To be honest, Xia En originally had some sympathy for indigenous people like the [Ancient Spirits]. After all, they later entered the [Rhine Secret Realm]. Xia En is not the kind of person who slaughtered all the indigenous people and set up "Thanksgiving" as an anniversary. But now, since the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has shown a decisive attitude. Then Xia En would not be merciful. There is no right or wrong in the world of adults, only a position. Xia En couldn''t let the [Ancient Spirit Clan] razed the [Rhine City] that he had spent so much effort to level the ground. However, it''s inexplicable. Xia En felt that this incident was full of some weirdness. Whether it is the hostility of the [Ancient Spirits] towards the elves or their resolute attitude to start a war, it does not seem to be a normal reaction. It''s like... There is an invisible big hand that controls all this. After thinking for a while, I couldn''t think about the result. Xia En looked at everyone and his tone became serious. We have to be ready as soon as possible. "[Rhine City] is our foundation, and there must be no mistakes." An nodded, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "However, the [Ancient Spirits] can control the secret power of nature, and their power is far beyond our imagination." "If their army really comes, with the current strength of [Rhine City], it may be difficult to resist." Xia En took a deep breath and his eyes were firm. "Anyway, we can''t sit still and wait for death." Now, we need to do two things. "First, return to [Rhine City] immediately and strengthen the fortifications." "At the same time, let the warriors in the critical state break through as soon as possible and prepare to welcome the attack of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." Shane paused and continued. "Second, we must take the initiative to go to the depths of the forest!" "It is not only to determine the situation of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] army, but also to find a more refined [Rhinestone] and purify the [Fourth of Life] of the [Elf Secret Realm]." Everyone answered in unison: "Yes, Captain Xiaen!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 442 【Twisted History? 】 Chapter 442 [Twisted History? Shane nodded, glanced over everyone, and finally stayed on Eris. "Elder Eris, how are you injured? Can you continue to fight?" Eris slowly stood up, although the scars on his body were still shocking, but his eyes were still firm. "Mr. Xiaen, I can still fight." "With the recovery ability of the tree man, I will be able to return to my full status soon." Xia En nodded slightly, and admired the tenacity of the tree man elder. "Okay, then we''ll act immediately." "Fiya, Xiange, Jian, you will take the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan] back to [Rhine City] first to assist in the arrangement of the city defense. "Joey, you, Carles, Ann and I go deep into the forest to explore the movements of the [Ancient Spirits]." After Xiange transformed, the goal was too big and was not suitable for combat in the forest. With simple wisdom, we can manage all matters in [Rhine City]. Xia En was very relieved to hand over the city defense mission to her. "Yes, Captain Shane." Feiya nodded and then quickly left with the soldiers of the [Yongyue Clan]. "Captain Shane, are we really going deep into the forest?" "The strength of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] cannot be underestimated, and they have a strong control over the forest, so we may be in danger." Joey said with some concern. Xia En''s eyes were firm and his tone was calm: "It is precisely because the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has a strong control over the forest that we must take the initiative." Passive defense will only put us in a bigger dilemma. "Only by understanding the enemy''s movements and weakening the enemy''s strength as soon as possible can we gain the lead in the next battle." Joey nodded, and although she still had concerns, her trust in Xiaen made her choose to follow. "Let''s go, we don''t have much time left." After Xia En finished speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the depths of the forest. Everyone followed closely behind, and their figures quickly disappeared into the dense woods. Deep in the forest, the light gradually became dim. Tall trees cover the sky and the sun, and the air is filled with a strong natural secret force. Shane could feel that the forest seemed to have its own consciousness, as if...every tree and every leaf were watching them. This feeling is actually very strange. Especially when Shane is the [Lord of Rhine]. It should have been welcomed by the [Rhine Secret Realm], but at this time it was targeted by this forest. This contradictory feeling of being both close and repulsive is quite strange. Shane and his group continued to walk through the forest, with the trees around them getting denser and the light getting darker. A depressing aura spread around. It seemed as if the entire forest was putting invisible pressure on them. "Captain Shane, the concentration of natural secret power here is too high, and I feel that it is difficult to breathe." Joey whispered, her forehead already oozing fine beads of sweat. Among the group, An was in the best condition. As an elf close to nature, such a high concentration of natural breath will be of great benefit to her. This forest is resisting us. Shane whispered, "Be careful, stay alert." At this moment, a slight sound came from the woods ahead. Xia En immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. His [Pupil of Secrets] quickly opened, his eyes piercing through layers of trees, locking in the source of the sound. I saw that in the jungle not far away, there was an area that looked like a [Ancient Spiritual Clan] camp. Several figures suspected to be [Ancient Spiritual Clan] were walking through it. The campsite is surrounded by tall trees and vines, as if it is integrated with the forest. If Xia En''s [Spying the Secret Eye] could penetrate the disguise of natural secret power, it would be difficult for them to discover it here. In the middle of the camp stands a huge altar. The altar is engraved with complex runes, exuding a strong natural secret power. Around the altar, dozens of giant apes composed of natural secret forces were sleeping. Their bodies fluctuate slightly with the rhythm of the altar, as if they are absorbing the power of the altar. Shane noticed that the auras of these giant apes were closely connected to the altar. Obviously, the [Ancient Spirits] are using the power of the altar to create these war weapons. "These giant apes... were actually made through an altar?" Joey whispered, a flash of shock in his eyes. This means that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has the ability to mass produce this giant ape. Although not all giant apes have legendary strength. However, when such war weapons appear on the battlefield, they will undoubtedly cause great casualties to the soldiers of [Rhine City]. And I''m afraid... There is far more than this altar in the forest! This is the meaning of the dead [Ancient Spirit Clan] saying "the army is already gathering." Carles whispered, "Captain Shane, do you want to directly destroy the altar?" "If the [Ancient Spirits] continue to create these giant apes, we will be under greater pressure." Xia En frowned, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Directly destroying the altar can certainly weaken the power of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], but it may also alarm the snake and expose their whereabouts. More importantly. They know too little about the altar and act rashly may lead to unpredictable consequences. Just as Xia En hesitated. The goblin Tracy flew up from Ann''s shoulder and said softly. "Let me go!" "I am a fairy, and I''m similar to the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. They may not regard me as an enemy." "I can sneak into the camp and find out more information." Xia En looked at Tracy, a little concern flashed in her eyes. "This is too dangerous." "[Ancient Spirit Clan]''s attitude towards the fairy is not clear yet. If you reveal it..." Tracy waved her wings and said confidently, "Don''t worry." "Don''t look at me like this, I have my own way of saving my life." "And I think they probably wouldn''t have thought that I would be a scout sent by [Rhine City]." An also nodded and said softly. "Captain Shane, let Tracy try it." Her abilities are indeed suitable for this kind of task. Xia En pondered for a moment, finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, Tracy, you act carefully." "If there is any danger, send a signal immediately and I will go and save you." Cuixi smiled slightly, then turned into a glimmer of light, and flew silently to the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. Xia En and others hid in the bushes outside the camp, watching Tracy''s actions nervously. Not long. Everyone saw Tracy contacting a [Ancient Spiritual Clan]. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] was obviously surprised by the appearance of this similar creature. But he did not immediately show hostility, but instead looked at Tracy with a vigilant and curious look. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why did you appear here?" Cui Xi pointed and stroked her fingers and used her body movements to express her meaning. "You mean...you are a goblin from afar, lost in this forest." "See our camp, want help?" Tracy nodded heavily. [Ancient Spirit Clan] frowned, obviously having some doubts about Cui Xi''s statement. But Cuixi''s appearance and aura are indeed very similar to the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. This prevented him from taking hostile actions immediately. [Ancient Spirit Clan] Continue to ask: "Where did you come from? Why are you lost here?" Cuixi pretended to be calm, pointed to the far horizon, and then showed a crying and sad expression. [Ancient Spirit Clan] After a moment of silence, it seemed to be weighing whether Tracy''s performance was credible. Finally, he nodded, Okay, you can stay in the camp for the time being, but dont walk around. We need to confirm your identity. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Cui Qian was delighted, but nodded quietly on the surface and made a gesture of gratitude. She successfully got into the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. The [Ancient Spirits] in the camp were busy, as if preparing for the upcoming war. Tracy noticed that the number of giant apes around the altar was gradually increasing. It''s obvious. [Ancient Spirits] are accelerating the manufacturing of these war weapons. at the same time. Cuixi also heard the conversation between the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. "The king said that in a few days, our army will be able to assemble." "At that time, the cities of those invaders can be destroyed in one fell swoop." Another [Ancient Spirit Clan] responded. Yes, they invaded our homes and destroyed our forests, and its time for them to pay. "There are also those elves who took our home. We must make them pay their blood debts!" At this time, the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] boy who first met Cui Qian asked. "Elf race, what kind of creature is that?" The older [Ancient Spirits] replied: "That is a guy who looks similar to ours, but is extremely cruel." "They have sinister and cunning personalities, and advocate killing and violence, but they like to embellish themselves with closeness to nature." "Our ancestors were forced to come to this world because of their slaughter and expulsion." "Child, you have to remember that this is the blood feud of our generations!" "Only with blood can we wash it!" [Ancient Spirit Clan] Although the young man was still a little puzzled, he still focused on it and said, "Yes!" On the side, Cuixi was surprised when she heard these words. [Ancient Spiritual Clan] The elves described are completely different from the elves she recognizes, and they are like two species! She had never heard of the elves having such a brutal history, let alone slaughtering and expelling the [Ancient Spirits]. In her perception, the elves have always been a race that is close to nature and advocates peace. How could they have formed such a deep hatred with the [Ancient Spiritual Clan]? She realized that there must be some misunderstanding in this. Or...someone deliberately distorted history? If so. It is not difficult to understand the malice of [Ancient Spirits] towards [Rhine City] and the elves. At this time, the older [Ancient Spirit Clan] said again. "By the way, the reserves of [Holy Stone] have almost been used up." "Hamar, please send someone to send another batch." "yes!" One of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] nodded and immediately left the camp. "Holy Stone?" Tracy''s eyes opened slightly and looked at the altars. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the stones placed near the altar were exactly [Rhinestone]! And these [rhinites] are obviously the secret source of the altar to create giant apes. It is not difficult to hear from the words of the elders of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. [Ancient Spirits] obviously also have their own [rhinite] mining areas, and are mining and using these [rhinites] in large quantities to create war weapons. So. What the elves need is the high-purity Rhinestone that purifies the [Fountain of Life], perhaps in the mining area of ??the [Ancient Spirits]! Tracy quickly kept this information in her heart, ready to find an opportunity to pass this information to Xia En. However, just as she was about to leave the camp. A high priest in the [Ancient Spirit Clan] wearing a special robe suddenly appeared in front of her. "Who are you? Why are you here?" The high priest''s eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Tracy. Tracy''s heart tightened, but she still tried to communicate with the other party with gestures. But this time. The high priest sneered: "Do you want to use this trick to deceive me?" "It''s useless, you have the aura of elf and humans on you!" "not good!" Realizing that she had been exposed, Tracy immediately spread her wings and prepared to escape. However, the high priest was faster. He raised his hand and waved it, and a chain formed by natural secret force instantly wrapped around Cuixi''s body. "Catch her! She is an enemy''s spy!" The high priest shouted loudly. The [Ancient Spirit Clan] around him immediately reacted and quickly surrounded Cuixi. Tracy struggled desperately, but the chains of natural secret forces firmly bound her, making her unable to escape. At this critical moment, a black void crack suddenly appeared beside Cuixi. Xia En''s figure jumped out of the crack, and the Void Blade in his hand suddenly slashed down, instantly cutting off the chain that bound Cuixi. Tracy said with some shame: "Captain Shane, sorry." "fine." Xia En shook his head: "I originally planned to flatten this camp." "It''s just that the order is different." "Besides, isn''t it a perfect infiltration to eliminate all witnesses?" As soon as Xia En finished speaking, the high priest of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] instantly turned gloomy. He obviously did not expect that the enemy would break into their camp so boldly. "Invader! Go and die!" The high priest shouted angrily and quickly formed seals with both hands. The runes on the altar suddenly lit up, and the rich natural secret power surged out like a tide. Several giant apes woke up and stood in front of Xia En and Tracy. "Captain Shane, be careful!" Trisy exclaimed. Xia En''s expression remained unchanged, and the Void Blade in his hand was slightly raised. The black secret power of void flowed on the blade, emitting heart-wrenching fluctuations. "I can''t stop me by a few giant apes." Before he finished speaking, Xia En''s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment. He had appeared behind a giant ape. The blade of void slashed past like a **** of death, and the giant ape''s body was instantly cut in half, turning into natural secret power and dissipating into the air. at the same time. Joey and others also joined the battlefield from outside the camp. (End of this chapter) Chapter 443 【Ancient Covenant】【Shadow of Heart-break Chapter 443 [Ancient Covenant] [Shadow of the Heart-breaking Apostle] On the battlefield. Xia En''s figure shuttled between the giant apes. Every time the blade of Void Blade swung a black void crack, tearing the giant ape''s body into pieces. His movements were precise and elegant, as if the **** of death had arrived, harvesting these war weapons condensed by the secret forces of nature. at the same time. Joey stood on the edge of the battlefield, lifted his staff and whispered an ancient spell. A blue light appeared all over her body. The water vapor in the air condenses rapidly and turns into torrents. Warriors and giant apes rushed towards the [Ancient Spirit Clan] like dragons. Wherever the torrent passed, the formation of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] was washed away. The giant ape was also bound by the current of water and became slow. only. Joey''s spell also exposed her location, and several [Ancient Spirits] immediately attacked her. "Carles, cover me!" Joey shouted loudly. "clear!" Carles'' voice came from the steam armor, her figure was like a moving fortress. Steam gushed out of the cracks in her armor, making a low roar. She raised her huge steam-powered gloves and slammed into the ground. The ground cracked instantly. Steam gushed out of the cracks, forming a hot steam barrier that blocked the offensive route of the [Ancient Spirits]. Immediately afterwards, her body shuttled through the forest like a ghost. Every time he takes action, several [Ancient Spirit Clan] will fall. Anze stood on the other side of the battlefield. She held a huge heavy sword in her hand, with a wide and thick body. It doesn''t look sharp, but it exudes a heavy sense of oppression. Her fighting style is simple and direct, and every time she swung her sword, she carried unrivaled power, as if she could split the mountain. The heavy sword has no edge, and the great trick is not crafty. An''s swordsmanship does not have any fancy skills, but is full of destructive power. However, her fighting style formed a strong contrast with her slender appearance. A [Ancient Spirit Clan] warrior tried to attack An from the side, but she easily noticed it. An suddenly turned around, sweeping the heavy sword, causing a strong wind. He directly knocked the soldier away several meters away, hitting him heavily on a big tree, losing his combat ability. "An, be careful behind you!" Tracy''s voice came from the air. Although she was saved by Shane, she did not leave the battlefield. Instead, use your flight ability to observe the battle situation in the air and remind your companions in time. When An heard the reminder, he quickly turned sideways and avoided a secret arrow that was attacking from behind. She looked up and looked in the direction where the arrow was flying. A [Ancient Spiritual Clan] archer was found standing on the treetops in the distance, preparing to attack again. "snort!" An snorted coldly, jumped up suddenly, raised his heavy sword over his head, and slashed hard at the archer. The archer obviously did not expect An to be so fast. Before he could react, he was hit by a heavy sword and fell from the treetops. At the same time. Xia En also traveled among the giant apes, harvesting the lives of these war weapons. "roar!" Another natural giant ape fell to the ground with the roar. Seeing this scene, the high priest of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] looked even more ugly. He slapped the altar and the runes on the altar lit up again. More natural secret forces were quickly extracted and condensed into a giant ape with a larger size. The aura of this giant ape is far beyond those before, and it has obviously reached the legendary level. Tracy reminded: "Captain Shane, that giant ape is not simple!" Xia En nodded, his eyes fixed on the legendary giant ape. He could feel that the power of this giant ape should not be underestimated, and even surpassed the big guy he had encountered before. But that wasn''t enough to get him back. "Come on, let me see your strength." Xia En whispered, his figure flashed, and rushed directly to the legendary giant ape. The giant ape roared, and its huge fist hit Xia En with a terrifying force. However. Xia En''s figure shuttled through the attack of the giant ape like a ghost. Every time the blade of Void leaves a deep wound on the giant ape. In the last battle, Xia En also understood the attack rules of this giant ape. After all, they are created existences, and their fighting styles seem a little rigid. "roar!" The giant ape roared in pain, waving his fists frantically, trying to hit Shane. Unfortunately, its attack could never reach Xia En''s slightest. "it''s over." Xia En said coldly, and the Void Blade in his hand suddenly expanded and turned into a huge black light blade. He jumped high, and the light blade slashed at the giant ape with the momentum of destruction. "die!" The light blade fell, the giant ape''s body was divided into two, and its huge body fell to the ground, turning into countless natural secret forces to dissipate. Seeing this, the high priest''s face turned pale instantly. He didn''t expect that the legendary giant ape he summoned was defeated so easily by Xia En. After the giant ape fell, the battle situation quickly tilted towards Xia En''s side. The camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] fell into chaos. The giant apes around the altar were wiped out by Shane and Joey. The warriors of the [Ancient Spirits] also retreated step by step under the fierce attack of Carles and An. "it''s over." After a moment, Xia En said coldly, pointing the Void Blade in his hand at the High Priest. The high priest gritted his teeth and waved the staff in his hand suddenly. A natural secret barrier formed in front of him, trying to block Xia En''s attack. However, Xia''s Void Blade easily penetrated the barrier and pointed directly into the high priest''s chest. "You...you invaders..." The high priest''s voice was filled with reluctance and anger: "Our king will avenge us!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was pierced by the blade of void. With the fall of the high priest, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] camp was completely in chaos. The remaining [Ancient Spiritual Clan] warriors fled one after another and disappeared into the dense forest. Xia En did not chase and kill these fleeing soldiers, but looked at the altar not far away. Only by destroying these altars can the [Ancient Spirits] be prevented from continuously creating war weapons condensed by natural secret forces. "Huh? These stones are..." Shane soon noticed the ore containing secret power on the altar. Cuixi flew to him and explained, "Yes, these are [Rhinestones], and the [Holy Stones] mentioned by the [Ancient Spirits]." "I heard before that they have their own mining areas and are mining a lot of these stones to make war weapons." Xia En nodded, his brows slightly frowned. "[Holy Stone]...It seems that they have other ways to use [Rhinestone]." Tracy continued, "Also, their perception of the elves seems to be something wrong." "They think the elves are brutal invaders who once slaughtered and expelled their ancestors." "This view is deeply rooted in their minds." Xia En pondered for a moment, and a little doubt flashed in his eyes: "This is indeed strange." "It''s understandable if you just think that the elves are invaders, but cruel..." "That''s something wrong." Just then. Eris stepped forward and said, "Can it be...their perceptions have been distorted?" "Just like the [City of Giant Trees] once." "Once the [City of Giant Trees]?" The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Hearing this, Xia En''s heart moved. The [City of Giant Wood] where people live in was once dominated by the [Capital Wood God]. Let them accept the [Corruption Seed] as the [Life Seed]. The decaying appearance of the tree people is also hidden under the vivid appearance. If the memory and cognition of the [Ancient Spirits] are also distorted by some existence, this may happen. "It''s true that there is such a possibility." "However, it cannot be ruled out that the elves have really expelled the [Ancient Spirits]." Xia En thought about it and said, "I think it is necessary for me to go back to the [Elf Secret Realm] first to confirm the authenticity of this matter with Anqi." "But before that, we have to destroy this altar first." As he said that, Xia En walked to the center of the altar and raised the blade of void in his hand slightly. He took a deep breath, and the secret power of the void in his body began to surge, and the black energy flowed on the blade. With his low shout, the Void Blade suddenly slashed down. The black energy swept across the altar like a tide. "boom!" The runes on the altar instantly collapsed, and the [Rhinestone] turned into powder under the impact of the secret power of the void. Immediately afterwards, the entire altar began to collapse. The rich natural secret power spread everywhere, as if it had lost its support. With the destruction of the altar, the surrounding environment also changed. The originally depressed forest aura gradually dissipated, the light scattered again through the treetops, and the invisible pressure in the air disappeared. Xia En restrained the secret power of the void and turned around and said to everyone. "The altar has been destroyed, let''s go to the [Elf Secret Realm] first." "Yes, Captain Shane!" With the opening of [Empty Beast Heart Seal]. The group easily returned to the [Elf Secret Realm]. As soon as I entered the secret realm, a fresh natural breath came to my face. It is in sharp contrast to the feeling of depression in the forest of [Ancient Spirits]. Xia En did not delay and took everyone to the [Fountain of Life] where Anqi was. An Qi was standing next to [Fountain of Life], holding an emerald green staff in her hand, as if sensing something. Seeing Xia En and others rushing over, she was slightly stunned and then showed a gentle smile. "Captain Shane, why are you back so soon?" "Have you found the [Purification Stone]?" Xia En shook his head with a serious expression: "Not yet." "However, we found the [Ancient Spirits] camp in [Rhine Secret Land]." And learned some disturbing news. He briefly told An Qi about the hostile attitude of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] towards the elves and their description of the "brutal history" of the elves. After hearing this, Anqi frowned, and a trace of shock and confusion flashed in her eyes. "This is impossible!" Anqi shook her head firmly: "The elves have never carried out any form of slaughter or expulsion of the [Ancient Spirits]." "We have always advocated peace and coexisted with nature. How could we do that kind of cruel behavior?" Shane nodded, expressing his understanding: "I think there is something wrong with this, too." "But the attitude of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is very firm." "It seems...their history has been distorted by some kind of force." Angel pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head. "Wait, maybe I can prove the innocence of the elves." She turned and walked towards an ancient giant tree next to [Fourth of Life], and reached out and pressed it gently on the trunk. A circle of complex runes emerged on the surface of the tree trunk. Then it slowly cracked, revealing a hidden tree hole. Angel took out a yellowed bark scroll from the tree hole, which was engraved with ancient elf texts. "This is an oath signed between the elves and the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] in the ancient times." Angel handed the scroll to Xia En: "The above clearly records the agreement between the two sides not invading each other and jointly protecting nature." "The power of the vows remains to this day, which shows that the elves have never violated the vows." Shane took the scroll. Feel a gentle and powerful natural secret force emanating from the scroll. He unfolded the scroll, and solemnity and divine power rushed towards him. And the elf language on it is just as An Qi said. The power of the pledge does exist. Xia En nodded and said, "This shows that the elves have never taken hostile actions against the [Ancient Spirits]." "Then, the hostility of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] to the elves is likely to be caused by some kind of force to distort the memory." Angel sighed, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. If this is the case, the problem will be even more complicated. We must find the root cause of the distorted memory of the [Ancient Spirits], otherwise this war will be inevitable. Suddenly, Anqi thought of something. "Wait, Captain Shane, could it be... [Heart-breaking Apostle]?" Upon hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows. [Heart-breaking Apostle] is one of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] under the [Heart-breaking Apostle]. Judging from the previous fight with His minions, [Heartbreaker] has the ability to manipulate emotions and even thinking. Then, it is not impossible to distort the cognition and memory of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]! And, on the other hand. The appearance of [Black Sun Ship] shows that [Film Siming] is always trying to invade [Elf Secret Realm]. And just so happened that not long after the [Black Sun Flows in the Sky], the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] polluted the [Fourth of Life]. It''s not difficult to guess. Perhaps, long ago. [Heartbreaker] has begun to penetrate the [Rhine Secret Realm] and has distorted the memory and cognition of the [Ancient Spirits]. This distortion not only made the [Ancient Spirit Clan] extremely hostile to the Elves. It also made them distrust all outsiders, which triggered this upcoming war. Xia En pondered for a moment and said slowly. "If it was really a [Heartbreaker] manipulating behind the scenes, then things would be more complicated than we thought." "His purpose is obviously not just to provoke hatred between the [Ancient Spirits] and the Elves." "But I want to further weaken the power of the [Rhine Secret Realm] through this war and pave the way for the invasion of []." Just then. Tracy suddenly said, "Captain Shane, I think..." "The king of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] seems to have a problem!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 444 [King of Ancient Spirits] [Sage Yesai] Chapter 444 [King of Ancient Spirits] [Sage Ye Sai] "Um?" Hearing this, everyone looked at Tracy. Xia En asked in a deep voice: "Trishy, ??what did you find?" Tracy frowned, as if she was sorting out her thoughts, and then said. "In the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], I found that not all [Ancient Spirit Clan] naturally have great hostility towards the Elves." "Some people''s understanding of the so-called blood feud comes from the high priest of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." "Or the idea of ??having a deep hatred with the elves was instilled into the minds of ordinary people of the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] from the upper class of the [Ancient Spiritual Clan]." "Since that''s the case, that king of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is very suspicious." A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes. "You mean, the ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] may just be a puppet controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle], or even a clone of the [Heart-breaking Apostle]?" An Qi, who was standing beside him nodded in agreement. There is indeed such a possibility. "If the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has penetrated into the core of the [Ancient Spirits], then their ''king'' is likely to have been controlled or even replaced." "In this way, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has a reasonable explanation for the hostility and distorted historical understanding of the Elves." Shane nodded, If this is the case, we must act as soon as possible. "Not only do we need to find the [Purification Stone], but we also need to uncover the truth behind the [Ancient Spirits] and stop the conspiracy of the [Heart-Stealing Apostle]." However, judging from the attitude that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is showing now. [Rhine City] A big battle with them is still inevitable. Only after winning this battle can we try to live in peace with the [Ancient Spirits]. After confirming the key information to Angel. Xia En and his group did not continue to stay in the [Elf Secret Realm] and returned directly to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. As soon as everyone stepped past the light gate formed by the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], they found that the surrounding environment was different from before. "This is" Shane looked to the nearby ground. I saw that there were many fresh footprints on the ground, and the corpses of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in the previous battle also disappeared. Obviously, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] had been here when they left. These footprints are messy and dense, and are obviously not left by a few people. "It seems they have been to this camp before while we are away." Joey squatted down, carefully checking the traces on the ground, and whispered. Xia En nodded, looking in the direction of the footprints, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. These footprints may lead us to their core territory. "Since they came to us on their own initiative, we can''t miss this opportunity." However, the footprints became very weak before they went far. In addition to the complex environment of the forest, it is difficult to distinguish the traces left by the [Ancient Spirits] with the naked eye. Xia En had long anticipated this, and the power of [Seeing Secret Eyes] quietly opened. When he opened his eyes again, the world in his vision was different. The traces of breath left by the [Ancient Spiritual Clan] are like a clear belt of light, winding towards the depths of the forest. "Come on me." Shane whispered, then stepped forward and quickly moved in the direction of the trace. A group followed closely behind and walked through the dense forest. As they penetrated, the surrounding scene gradually changed. The trees became taller, the branches and leaves covered the sky, and the air was filled with a faint ore atmosphere. Scattered ore fragments began to appear on the ground, appearing grayish-white. "Are these... [Rhinestone] fragments?" Carles picked up a piece of ore and said after carefully examining it. "That''s right." Xia En nodded: "It seems... we are not far from the mining area of ??the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." Sure enough, not long after, they arrived at the entrance of a valley. On both sides of the valley are towering rock walls, covered with traces of mining. Obviously, this is the mining area of ??the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. There were low roars deep in the valley, as if some huge beast was breathing. Xia En raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and whispered. "Be careful, this may be the core area of ??the [Ancient Spirit Clan], and the guards must be very tight." With the help of the power of [Spying the Secret Eyes], he carefully observed the movements in the valley. I saw dozens of warriors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] were distributed in the valley. They were patrolling with weapons and vigilantly. And in the middle of the valley, a huge mine cave stands tall. The entrance of the mine cave emits a strong atmosphere of secret power, which obviously contains a large amount of [rhinite]. There is the place we are looking for. Xia En pointed to the mine and said, "[Purification Stone] is probably in it." "But how do we get in?" An frowned and said, "There are too many guards here. If you force yourself to break through, you may alarm the entire [Ancient Spirit Clan]." At this time, Joey next to him said, "Maybe...can you use teleportation spell?" "The guards at the entrance of the mine are tightly guarded, but it may not be the case inside." Shane nodded, agreeing with Joey''s proposal. "Teleling spells is indeed a good choice." However, we need to ensure the accuracy of the transmission, otherwise we may be in a more dangerous situation once it is sent to the wrong location. Joey smiled slightly and said confidently: "Leave it to me." "With my current ability, I can use the water vapor in the air as a medium to perceive the environment inside the mine and ensure the accuracy of the transmission." She closed her eyes, gently swung the staff in her hand, and the blue light once again appeared around her. The water vapor in the air condenses rapidly, forming tiny streams of water. Like invisible tentacles, it extends in the direction of the mine. Through these water flows, Joey senses the structure and the distribution of guards inside the mine. After a moment. Joey opened his eyes and whispered: "The space inside the mine is much larger than we thought, with the guards mainly concentrated on the entrance and several key passages." "We can teleport to a hidden corner deep in the mine where there are no guards for the time being." Shane nodded, "Okay, then let''s start." Joey raised his staff and whispered a spell to teleport the spell. Gradually, the blue light continued to expand, wrapping Xia En and his group in it. As the last syllable of the spell fell, everyone''s figures disappeared in an instant. The next moment. They appeared in a hidden corner deep in the mine. The surroundings were dark and wet, and only the scattered ore emitted a faint light. The air was filled with a strong breath of secret power. Obviously, there are a lot of [rhinites] hidden here. "We''re in." Joey said with a little excitement. Shane looked around and whispered. "Be careful. Although there are no guards here for the time being, there may be patrolling [Ancient Spirits] warriors passing by at any time." Everyone nodded and then began to move deeper along the mine passage. As they penetrated, the secret power in the mine became more and more intense, and even made people feel a little depressed. "There are amazing reserves of [rhinites] here." Carles whispered, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes: "No wonder [Ancient Spirits] can create so many war weapons." Xia En was also a little surprised. The total amount of Rhines in this mine is much higher than those they have discovered before. Obviously, there will also be [Rhinite Stone Essence] here, or even creatures formed by [Rhinite Stone Essence] like "Pull" are also present. Just then. Xia En raised his brow, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and whispered, "There is movement ahead." Everyone held their breath and listened carefully. Sure enough, a deep sound of footsteps came from the front. The conversation sounded with the warriors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! "The high priest''s order, we must speed up the mining speed, the king can''t wait." A warrior whispered. Another warrior responded: "But the secret power deep in the mine is too strong. If you continue to go deeper, you may be in danger." "Don''t talk nonsense, the king''s orders are above everything else! Keep moving forward!" The footsteps gradually faded away, and Xia En and others breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that the ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is indeed urging them to speed up the mining." Joey whispered, This further confirms our guess. Xia En nodded: "Yes, we must find the [Purification Stone] as soon as possible and uncover the truth behind the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." The group continued to penetrate deeper along the mine tunnel, and the secret power around them became more and more intense, and there seemed to be an invisible pressure in the air. Suddenly, a riot came from the front, accompanied by fierce quarrels. "Exposed?" An asked in a low voice, clenching the heavy sword in his hand. Xia En raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop. With the help of the power of [Spying the Secret Eye], he saw the scene ahead through the cracks in the rock wall. An old man in a gray-white robe was standing in front of a group of soldiers, waving his arms excitedly. His face was old and haggard, and his forehead was covered with deep wrinkles. The long silver-white hair was casually scattered on her shoulders, making her look a little unkempt. His eyes were particularly bright, exuding a scholarly wisdom and firmness. "We don''t have to go to war!" The old man''s voice was hoarse but powerful: "[The Rhine Secret Realm] is so vast that it is completely enough to accommodate the survival of different races! Why must war be solved?" "Ye Sai Xian, are you old and confused?" A warrior sneered, with a sarcastic tone: "The elves have slaughtered our ancestors, this is blood feud!" "How can you say such a thing?" "Blood feud?" Ye Sai''s voice was particularly confused: "I...I don''t remember any blood feud." "We moved out of the [Elf Secret Realm] purely out of our own will, not because of being expelled or slaughtered..." "Enough!" Another soldier interrupted him rudely: "We only say these words to you because of your past deeds." "The king''s order is clear, we must speed up the mining and prepare for the war." "If you stop it again, don''t blame us for being polite!" Ye Sai opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else. But in the end, just lowered your arms weakly, and a trace of confusion and pain flashed in your eyes. The soldiers snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving Ye Sai standing alone. He whispered to himself, "Why...Why do I always feel something is wrong?" "Why do I have no impression of those so-called blood feuds?" "Is it really...Is it really me wrong?" Xia En and others hid in the dark and saw this scene in their eyes. "That old man... seems to be different from other [Ancient Spirits]." Joey whispered: "His perception does not seem to be completely distorted." "That''s right." Shane nodded: "He may be the key to us uncovering the truth." An asked, "Do you want to contact him?" "Yes." Xia En pondered for a moment: "But be careful not to make him hostile to us." After the warriors'' footsteps completely disappeared. Xia En walked out of the darkness and whispered, "Ye Sai Sage, we heard your conversation." Ye Sai suddenly turned around, looked at Xia En and his group vigilantly, and raised the staff in his hand slightly. "Who are you? Why are you here?" "We are not enemies." Xia En raised his hands and signaled that he had no malice: "I am the lord of [Rhine City], and came to find [Purification Stone]." "I heard you just now and I think you might be able to help us." "The city lord of [Rhine City]!?" A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Sai''s eyes, but was soon replaced by alertness. He held the staff tightly and his eyes swept over Xia En and his party, as if judging their purpose. "You... are really people from [Rhine City]?" Ye Sai''s voice was hesitant: "But why are you here?" "This is the forbidden place for our [Ancient Spirit Clan], and outsiders are not allowed to enter." Xia En nodded, his tone calm. "We are indeed from [Rhine City]. This time we came to find [Purification Stone] to solve the crisis in [Elf Secret Realm]." "We have no intention of being enemies with the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." But when I heard your conversation just now, it seems that you have some doubts about some decisions within the clan. Ye Sai''s expression relaxed slightly. The vigilance in the eyes is gradually replaced by a complex emotion. He was silent for a moment and whispered, "How much did you... hear?" "We have heard your doubts about the war and your confusion about the so-called ''blood feud''." Xia En looked straight into Ye Sai''s eyes and spoke sincerely: "We believe that you must have many questions in your heart." "Perhaps we can help you find the answer." Ye Sai''s eyes flashed for a moment, as if he was struggling violently inside. He slowly lowered his staff and sighed. "Can you... really help me find the truth?" We are willing to try. Shane said firmly, If you are willing to believe us. Ye Sai was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay...I believe in you." "But this is not a place to talk, come with me." He turned and walked towards a hidden passage deep in the mine, with Xia En and his group following him. The passage was winding and the surrounding rock walls were covered with glowing ore, emitting a faint light. The air is filled with a strong atmosphere of secret power, which makes people feel an invisible sense of oppression. After about ten minutes of walking. Ye Sai took them to a hidden stone chamber. (End of this chapter) Chapter 445 【Gargoyle】【Purification Stone】 Chapter 445 [Gargoyle] [Purification Stone] A stone table is placed in the middle of the stone chamber. The table was filled with ancient scrolls and books, and the surrounding walls were engraved with complex runes. This is my laboratory. Yesai whispered: "Only here can I avoid their surveillance and conduct some...unsubmitted research." Shane looked around, his eyes falling on the scrolls. "What are you studying?" Ye Sai walked to the stone table and picked up a yellowed scroll with a serious expression. Im studying our historyor, the history that is covered up. He unfolded the scroll, which was engraved with ancient [Ancient Spiritual Clan] words. Although Xia En couldn''t understand these words, he could feel the importance of these contents from Ye Sai''s expression. "These scrolls record the origins of our [Ancient Spirits] and their relationship with the Elves." Yesai whispered: "But strangely, these records are completely different from what we now think." "The scroll mentioned that we and the Elf were once allies, living together in the [Elf Secret Realm]." "However, the people of the tribe now believe that the elves are our enemies, and even believe that they have slaughtered our ancestors." Xia En nodded secretly. This is basically consistent with what they learned before. Shane asked, "Why do you think this happens?" Ye Sai shook his head, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "I don''t know either. But I suspect that this has something to do with our ''king''." "What do you mean is that the ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] is controlling the memories of the tribe?" Xia En asked with a frown. Its not just about manipulating memory. Ye Sai whispered, "I suspect that our ''king''... may no longer be the original ''king''." An asked, "You mean, he was controlled by some kind of force?" Ye Sai nodded: "Yes." "About a few months ago, our ''king'' suddenly changed his temperament and began to promote hatred for the elves." "And ordered the large-scale mining of [rhinites] to create war weapons." "Since then, the memories of the tribe members seem to have gradually been distorted, and everyone firmly believes that the elves are our enemies." "How many months?" Xia En thought about it. This time node happened to be similar to the time he just obtained the [Empty Beast Heart]. "Perhaps, the [Heart-Striving Apostle] penetrated the [Ancient Spirit Clan] at that time." "Heart-breaking Apostle?" Ye Sai looked at Xia En in confusion: "What is that?" Xia En briefly told Yesai the origin and purpose of the [Heartbreaker]. After listening, Ye Sai''s face became even more serious. ġһġ "The evil god''s lackey from outside the world..." Although Yesai had never heard of these things before. But he is a sage of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] after all, and his acceptance of such things is far beyond that of ordinary tribe members. "If this is true, then our ''king'' is likely to have been controlled and even replaced by the [Heartbreaker]." Yesai whispered: "We must stop him, otherwise the entire [Rhine Secret Realm] will fall into disaster." We are willing to work with you. Xia En said solemnly: "But before this, we need to find the [Purification Stone]." "Do you know where it is?" "Purification Stone?" Ye Sai was stunned: "What an ancient name, you should mean the highest concentration of [Holy Stone], right?" Shane asked, "Do you know its specific location?" Ye Sai pondered for a moment and said slowly. "[Purification Stone] should be located at the deepest part of this mine, but it is also the most dangerous place in the entire mine." "The secret power concentration deep in the ore veins is extremely high, and ordinary people cannot bear it." "Even our warriors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] dare not approach them easily." "and" Yesai''s voice fell: "Since the ''king'' ordered the accelerated mining, the depths of the mine have been listed as a forbidden area and no one is allowed to enter." "I doubt that there may have been contaminated by the power of the [Heartbreaker]." Shane nodded with a serious expression: "Even so, we must take a chance." "Purification Stone is the key to our purificationSpring of Life, and we must get it no matter what." Ye Sai looked at Xia En''s firm eyes, and after a moment of silence, he finally made up his mind. "Okay, I''ll take you there." "But you must be mentally prepared, the dangers deep in the mine are far beyond your imagination." "We understand." Shane nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your help." Ye Sai waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "No need to thank me." "If it is true as you said, our ''king'' has been controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle]." "As the sage of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], I also have the responsibility to reveal the truth and save my tribe." After saying that, Ye Sai turned around and walked towards a corner of the stone chamber. Stretch your hand and press it gently on the wall. With a low roar, the wall slowly opened, revealing a hidden passage. This is a shortcut to the depths of the mine. Yesai explained: "We can avoid most of the guards and go directly into the core area of ??the ore vein." Xia En and his group followed Ye Sai into the passage. The light in the passage was dim and a strong ore atmosphere was filled with the air. As they continued to deepen, the concentration of secret forces around them gradually increased. It even makes people feel a little difficult to breathe. "The secret strength concentration here is too high." Joey whispered, his face pale: "Another people will lose their minds if they stay here for a long time." The secret power that is too abundant will bring burden to the extraordinary and even affect their spirit. Ye Sai nodded: "That''s right, so the depth of the mine has always been a forbidden area." "Even our [Ancient Spirit Clan] can only stay for a short period of time." Xia En felt the secret power in his body was restless, as if he was being pulled by the energy around him. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the fluctuations in his body, and whispered. "Everyone be careful and be alert." The group continued to move forward, and the passage gradually became narrow. Some strange patterns began to appear on the surrounding rock walls, like some kind of ancient runes. Ye Sai pointed to the patterns and said, "These are runes left by the ancestors of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]." "They are said to be able to suppress the violent secret forces in the ore veins." "But lately, the power of these runes seems to be declining." Xia En carefully observed the runes and found that their light was indeed much dimmer than before, and some runes had cracks. "It seems that the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] has begun to erode here." Shane whispered. Ye Sai''s face became even more serious: "We must speed up, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable once the secret power deep in the ore veins are out of control." Just then. A low roar suddenly came from the front, as if some huge creature was awakening. Everyone stopped immediately and looked forward vigilantly. "What is that?" An asked in a low voice, clenching the heavy sword in his hand. Xia En frowned, staring at the dim passage ahead. The low roar was getting closer and closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if a giant was approaching them. "Be careful, it may be a companion in the depths of the ore veins." Ye Sai whispered, lifting the staff in his hand slightly, ready to deal with emergencies at any time. Xia En nodded and signaled everyone to prepare for battle. A blue light appeared on Joey''s staff, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed, forming a water screen barrier. An Ze held the heavy sword tightly and stood at the front of the team, ready to welcome the upcoming enemy. As the footsteps grew closer, a huge figure gradually emerged from the darkness. It was a huge stone statue creature, with its whole body composed of [rhinite], exuding a strong breath of secret power. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! It is very similar to the "flying" of the silver-white stone pig that appeared in the beast tide. But at this moment. The stone monster''s eyes flashed with red light, as if controlled by some evil force. "It''s a gargoyle!" Yesai exclaimed: "This creature usually only moves deep in the mineral veins, how can it appear here?" Xia En''s eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] has penetrated into the depths of the ore veins, and even these companions are controlled." The gargoyle let out a low roar and rushed towards everyone. Although its movements are clumsy, it is extremely powerful, and every step makes the ground shake slightly. An met without hesitation, waved his heavy sword and slashed hard at the gargoyle''s legs with the sharp sound of the wind. "clang!" The heavy sword collided with the gargoyle''s stone body, making a loud metallic sound. The gargoyle''s body just shook slightly, but An took a few steps back by the shock recoil force. Xia En immediately saw the clues. On the surface of this gargoyle, there is a layer of invisible armor composed of secret forces. Those secret powers come from the [rhinite] that make up its body. Theoretically, as long as the secret power of these [Rhinestones] is not exhausted, this layer of secret power armor will always exist. However, in Xia En''s [Seeing Secret Eyes], he clearly saw the weakness of this gargoyle. Its core is in the chest! Xia En flashed without thinking. When he appeared again, the sword blade condensed from the [Void Secret Power] in his hand had already pierced the gargoyle''s chest. "Bang!" With a loud bang, the gargoyle''s chest was pierced by a heavy sword, and the energy core instantly shattered. The gargoyle let out a shrill roar, and its body began to disintegrate, eventually turning into a pile of gravel, scattered on the ground. Ye Sai glanced at Xia En in surprise. Although he guessed that Xia En and others could solve this gargoyle. But I didn''t expect it to be solved so easily. Almost instantly killed by Xia En! Ye Sai was secretly surprised: "Is this the strength of the city lord of [Rhine City]?" "If you are enemies of such an existence, I don''t know how many warriors will die at his hands." Thinking of this, Ye Sai became even more determined. We must never let the war between [Ancient Spirits] and [Rhine City] continue! Xia En withdrew the [Void Secret Power] in his hand, and his eyes were still vigilantly scanning the surroundings. Although the gargoyle has been solved, he knows that the danger deep in the mine is much more than that. "keep going." Shane whispered, with unquestionable firmness in his tone. Ye Sai nodded and led everyone to continue to go deeper along the passage. As they kept approaching the core area of ??the ore veins, the concentration of secret forces in the air became increasingly strong. It even makes people feel tingling pain on their skin. "The secret power here is almost saturated." Joey whispered, his face pale: "We must find the [Purification Stone] as soon as possible, otherwise our bodies may not be able to bear it." Xia En nodded and glanced across the rock walls around him. The ancient runes have almost completely lost their light, and cracks are everywhere, as if they will shatter at any time. Obviously, the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] is rapidly eroding here. At this moment, a strange light suddenly came from the front. Everyone accelerated their pace and passed through the last passage. The scene in front of them made them hold their breath in an instant. At the end of the mine is a huge natural cave. In the middle of the cave, a stone pillar composed of pure [rhinite] stands. At the top of the stone pillar, a gem with a soft light floated. That is exactly the [Purification Stone] they have been looking for. "That''s [Purification Stone]!" Ye Sai whispered, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes. However, just as they were about to step forward, countless pairs of red eyes suddenly lit up around the cave. Dozens of gargoyles slowly walked out of the shadows and surrounded the [Purification Stone]. "It seems that [Heartbreaker] had expected us to come here long ago." Xia En said in a deep voice, and the [secret power of void] continued to surge in his body. "Prepare for the fight!" An yelled softly, and the heavy sword was unsheathed again. A blue light appeared on Joey''s staff, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed, forming a water screen barrier. Ye Sai raised his staff and whispered an ancient spell, preparing to cast powerful secret techniques. Xia En took a deep breath and his eyes fixed on the gargoyles in front of him. The battle is about to break out. The gargoyles roared a low roar and rushed towards everyone. A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, his body was like lightning, and he rushed into the group of gargoyles in an instant. The [Void Secret Power] in his hand condensed into a sharp sword blade. Each wave brought out a wave of void, stabbing accurately at the core of the gargoyle. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With several loud noises, the core of several gargoyles were shattered by Xia En''s sword. The huge body instantly disintegrated and turned into gravel scattered on the ground. However, there are too many gargoyles, and even if Shane is fast, he cannot solve all enemies in a short time. An''s heavy sword swung like the wind, and every time he slashed, he forced the approaching gargoyle to retreat with a thunderous momentum. only. Gargoyles have extremely strong defenses. Although An''s attacks are fierce, they cannot easily break their core. Joey stood behind the team, the blue light on the staff flashing constantly. She controlled the water vapor in the air, forming water screen barriers to block the gargoyle''s attack. At the same time, she is also looking for opportunities to use water vapor to condense into ice blades and attack the weaknesses of the gargoyle. Just as everyone was fighting fiercely. In the dark corner, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened. (End of this chapter) Chapter 446 【Get the Purification Stone】【Ye Sap’s De Chapter 446 [Get the Purification Stone] [Ye Sais Determination] Scarlet eyes were hidden in the shadow of the cave, staring coldly at the battlefield. Its eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, with a chilling malice. As it looked, the secret power in the cave seemed to become more violent, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. Xia En keenly noticed this strange aura. While shaking the core of a gargoyle, he quickly scanned around to try to find the source of the evil force. "Be careful! Something is peeking at us in the dark!" Shane reminded in a low voice, with a strong sense of vigilance in his tone. Ye Sai also felt the unusual aura. His face became even more serious, and the staff in his hand trembled slightly, as if responding to some powerful threat. Theres there! Just as Yesai pointed at a corner of the cave. A deep laugh suddenly came from the shadow of the cave. The laughter was like coming from the depths of hell, with a creepy chill. "Hahaha... we met again..." With the laughter, a tall figure slowly walked out of the shadow. Its body is made of pure secret force, like a ball of black mist that is constantly twisting, only a pair of scarlet eyes can be clearly visible. Every eyeball carries a foul-hearted aura. Every step of it made the ground shake slightly, as if the entire cave was trembling at its appearance. This multi-eyed monster is exactly the same as the other end that Xia En and others encountered when they were polluted in the [Fourth of Life]! The family of [Heart-breaking Apostle] Xia En whispered, his eyes locking in the figure. He could sense that the multi-eyed monster that appeared at this time was stronger and more weird than the other end of the [Fountain of Life] at that time. Moreover, its intelligence level seems to have been improved to a certain extent. The laughter of the multi-eyed monster echoed in the cave, as if countless tiny bugs were crawling in their ears, making people shudder. "You... are so persistent..." Its voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the abyss, with a suffocating sense of oppression. "It''s a pity that your efforts... are destined to be futile..." The [Void Secret Power] in Xia En''s body kept surging, his eyes were like torches, and he responded coldly. "It''s not your final decision." The scarlet eyes of the multi-eyed monster narrowed slightly, as if looking at Xia En. "The Lord''s Enemy..." "Since that''s the case, let you die in regret and despair..." Before he finished speaking, the body of the multi-eyed monster suddenly expanded. The secret power of black fog spreads around like a tide. The remains of the gargoyles that had been shattered actually condensed again under the cover of black mist and turned into even larger stone monsters. "Be careful! It''s manipulating these gargoyles!" Ye Sai shouted and waved the staff in his hand quickly. An ancient rune flashed in the air, trying to resist the erosion of the black fog. However, the power of the black fog is far beyond his imagination. The rune lasted for only a moment and then shattered. Ye Sai''s face turned pale in an instant, and he was obviously subjected to a considerable backlash. "These gargoyles... are stronger than before!" An whispered, holding the heavy sword in his hand tightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Xia En didn''t say much, and flashed his body and rushed directly towards the multi-eyed monster. He knew that only by solving this source can the battle be completely ended. However, the polygonal monster seemed to have expected it. Its body suddenly twisted and turned into a black mist, easily avoiding Xia En''s attack. "Hahaha...Your speed...is not fast enough..." The voice of the multi-eyed monster rang in Shane''s ears, with a playful meaning. Xia En frowned, and was secretly alert. The speed and reaction power of this monster were far beyond his expectations. At the same time, the gargoyles strengthened by the black fog have launched fierce attacks on everyone. Their movements are faster and their power is even more terrifying than before. An''s heavy sword collided with the gargoyle''s huge fist, making a deafening sound. An was knocked back several steps by the huge impact force, and his arms were slightly numb. "These guys... are more than twice as powerful as before!" An said gritting his teeth, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. With the increase in the black fog, every gargoyle here has the strength above legends! On the other side. Joey''s water screen barrier was shaking under the gargoyle''s assault. She quickly changed her gestures, and the water vapor in the air condensed into countless ice blades, shooting towards the gargoyle''s weakness. However, the ice blades were swallowed by the black fog on their bodies as they approached the gargoyle and turned into nothing. "No! Their defense is too strong, my attacks won''t work!" Joey said anxiously, and fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. Ye Sai endured the discomfort inside his body, raised his staff again, and whispered an ancient spell. A dazzling light shot out from the top of the staff, hitting the body of the multi-eyed monster. However, the light was quickly swallowed when it touched the black fog. It was like a mud cow entering the sea, without any effect. "It''s useless...your struggle...it will only make me more happy..." The voice of the multi-eyed monster echoed in the cave, with a desperate mockery. Xia En''s eyes were tightly locked in the multi-eyed monster, and he quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind. He knew that it would be difficult to quickly defeat this enhanced monster with their current strength alone. Moreover, such a battle will undoubtedly attract the attention of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. If you can''t fight quickly, things will be in trouble when you fall into their siege. It must be found its weakness, orusing the power of the environment. At this moment, Xia En''s eyes fell on the [Purification Stone] in the middle of the cave. The gem still emits a soft light, as if it is out of place with the darkness around it. "Yesai!" Xia En suddenly shouted loudly: "Can [Purification Stone] purify these black fog?" Ye Sai was stunned for a moment, then a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. "Yes! The power of [Purification Stone] is enough to purify all filthy things!" "But we have to get close to it to activate its power!" Shane nodded and made a quick decision. "Ann, Joey, Carlress, you cover me!" "I''ll activate [Purification Stone]!" Ann, Joey and Carlress immediately understood Shane''s intentions and quickly adjusted the formation to stand in front of Shane. Opened up a path to [Purification Stone] for him. "Be careful!" An yelled softly, waved his heavy sword and forced a gargoyle to retreat. Blue light flashed on Joey''s staff, and the water vapor in the air quickly condensed into an ice wall, temporarily blocking the gargoyle''s attack. Carles directly turned into steam armor and merged with Shane. Screaming Xia''s speed soared again. The multi-eyed monster obviously noticed Xia En''s intention and let out a low roar. The black mist-like body suddenly swelled, trying to stop Xia En''s progress. "Don''t think about it!" A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body burst out instantly. [Void Shuttle] suddenly activated, avoiding the black fog in front of him. A trace of anger flashed through the scarlet eyes of the multi-eyed monster. The black mist quickly condensed into several sharp tentacles and shot towards Xia En''s back. Carles'' steam core surged violently, spraying out white steam, purifying and destroying these tentacles. Out of trust in Carlress. Xia En didn''t look back at first and continued to rush towards [Purification Stone]. The roar of the multi-eyed monster echoed in the cave, and the black mist spread rapidly, trying to cover the entire cave. Seeing this, Ye Sai''s face became even more serious. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! He quickly raised his staff and whispered an ancient spell. As the spell chanted, the ancient runes around the cave suddenly lit up a faint light, as if responding to Yesai''s call. "Suppress evil spirits in the name of ancestors!" Ye Sai shouted softly, and the staff suddenly inserted into the ground. The light of the rune suddenly increased, forming an invisible barrier that temporarily blocked the spread of black fog. A trace of surprise flashed in the scarlet eyes of the multi-eyed monster. It was obvious that Yesui could activate these ancient runes. "You... dare to resist the will of the Lord..." Its voice was filled with anger, and the black mist quickly condensed, trying to break through the barrier of the runes. at the same time. Xia En had already rushed to the [Purification Stone]. He reached out his hand and gently touched the gem that emitted a soft light. Just as his fingers touched the [Purification Stone], a warm force instantly poured into his body. Xia En felt that the secret power in his body resonated with this power, and a strange change was faintly produced. "Activate it!" But this was, Yesai''s anxious voice came from a distance. Xia En did not hesitate and quickly injected the [Void Secret Power] in his body into the [Purification Stone]. With the injection of [Void Secret Power], the light of [Purification Stone] suddenly increased, as if a small sun was rising in the cave. The soft light spread rapidly, and wherever it went, the black mist melted like ice and snow. The multi-eyed monster let out a shrill roar, and its black fog-like body quickly collapsed under the light. "No...this is impossible..." Its voice was filled with a hint of horror, and its scarlet eyes were full of reluctance. However, the power of [Purification Stone] is unstoppable. The light quickly enveloped the entire cave, and all the black mist was purified in an instant. The gargoyles strengthened by the black fog also collapsed one after another, turning into ordinary gravel and scattered on the ground. The body of the multi-eyed monster gradually dissipated in the light and eventually disappeared. The cave has returned to peace, and only the light of [Purification Stone] is still flashing. Xia En breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew his hand, and felt that the [Secret Power of Void] in his body also calmed down. Successfully An whispered, with a hint of fatigue in his tone. Joey and Carlress also breathed a sigh of relief, with a gratifying smile on their faces. Ye Sai walked to Xia En''s side and looked at [Purification Stone] with complicated eyes. "I didn''t expect that the power of [Purification Stone] was so powerful..." He whispered, with a hint of emotion in his tone. Xia En nodded, his eyes still staying on the [Purification Stone]. "With it, we can purify the Fountain of Life." Ye Sai was silent for a moment and said slowly, "But the matter is not over yet." "The power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has penetrated into the core of the [Ancient Spirits], and our ''king'' is likely to be completely controlled." Xia En nodded, his eyes firm. The crisis has not been lifted. But now, we need to get out of here first. Ye Sai nodded and led everyone to quickly evacuate along the passage when he came. As they kept moving away from the depths of the mine, the concentration of secret power in the air gradually decreased, and everyone''s breathing became much easier. Just as they were about to walk out of the mine, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave. "What''s going on?" An looked behind him vigilantly and held the heavy sword in his hand tightly. Ye Sai''s face also became solemn. "Not good... the secret power deep in the ore veins has lost the suppression of [Purification Stone] and has begun to lose control!" Xia En frowned and made a quick decision. "Go away! This place may collapse at any time!" "Joey, use teleportation spell!" "Yes, Captain Shane!" Joey nodded, quickly raised his staff, and whispered a spell to teleport the spell. A blue light appeared at the top of the staff, and the secret force in the air began to fluctuate violently, forming a rotating portal. "Get in!" Joey said hurriedly, his face pale. Obviously, casting teleportation spells in this environment will be a huge burden on her. Xia En did not hesitate and took the lead in stepping into the portal. The others followed closely behind, and Yesai was the last to enter. Just as he stepped into the portal, a deafening roar came from the depths of the cave. The entire mine began to shake violently, and huge rocks fell from the top, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. The portal closed quickly after the Leaf Entry entered, and Joey''s staff also dimmed by excessive consumption. She gasped, her forehead covered in sweat, apparently exhausting most of her strength. And at this time. The group had arrived outside the valley again. Xia En and others stood outside the valley, looking at the collapsed mine cave in the distance, with smoke and dust rolling and roaring endlessly. The [Ancient Spiritual Clan] soldiers around were running in panic, obviously unprepared for this sudden disaster. We have to get out of here as soon as possible. Xia En whispered, his eyes swept across everyone: "[Purification Stone] has been obtained, and next we need to return to [Elf Secret Realm] and purify [Fourth of Life]." An nodded and held the heavy sword in his hand tightly. "No further ado, we have to hurry up." At this moment, Ye Sai suddenly spoke, "You go, I can''t leave with you." Xia En was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Ye Sai. "Ye Saixian, aren''t you going with us?" "The ''king'' of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] has been controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle], so it''s too dangerous for you to stay here." Ye Sai shook his head, his eyes firm and complicated. It is because of this that I have to stay. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "[Ancient Spirit Clan] is my tribe, and I can''t watch them be controlled by the [Heart-breaking Apostle]." "I have to stay and find ways to awaken their memories and reveal the truth." "This is...my mission!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 447 【Purify the Fountain of Life】【Leilas Me Chapter 447 [Purification of the Fountain of Life] [Leila''s Message] Ye Sai paused and glanced at Xia En and others. "I have to walk the next path myself." Shane was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I understand your decision." "But be careful, the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] is far more bizarre than we think." Ye Sai smiled slightly, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern, I will be careful." "The worst case is when we see each other again." "I have also become a puppet of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] and are forced to fight with you." "At that time, please ask you to help me get relief." Xia En fell silent and did not dissuade him anymore. He knew that Yesai''s determination was settled and any persuasion was futile. "Since that''s the case, let''s leave." Shane said solemnly: "I hope we can see you again." Ye Sai nodded and whispered: "Maybe there is still such a chance." At this time, Joey''s staff glowed in blue again. The secret force in the air began to fluctuate, and the portal slowly took shape. "Captain Shane, the portal is ready." Joey whispered. This is a portal that leads directly to [Rhine City] - because Joey knows the specific coordinates of [Rhine City], he can open such a portal. Xia En nodded and looked at Ye Sai for the last time: "Take care." Ye Sai smiled slightly and waved his hand: "So are you." Xia En and others stepped into the portal one by one, and their figures gradually disappeared into the blue light. Yesai stood there, watching them leave until the portal was completely closed, and only a faint wave of secret power remained in the air. He took a deep breath and turned toward the camp of the [Ancient Spirit Clan]. The collapse of the mine pitted the entire camp into chaos, and the soldiers ran around, shouting one after another. Ye Sai''s eyes swept across the panicked faces and sighed secretly in his heart. "Grandmen...how long have you been blinded?" He murmured in a low voice, then quickened his pace. He knew that he didn''t have much time left. The power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has penetrated into the core of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], and it may even have noticed an abnormality in the mine cave. He must find the tribe members who have not been fully controlled and awaken their memories before the [Heartbreaker] reacts. Ye Sai''s figure quickly disappeared into the chaotic crowd and walked towards the depths of the camp. at the same time. Xia En and others have returned to [Rhine City]. As soon as he returned to [Rhine City], Xia En saw Jane standing on the city wall, her eyes scanning around her with a torch. Her figure was slender in the afterglow of the setting sun, and her silver hair reflected a cold light. On the city wall. The tree people, dwarves and Yongyue people were busy deploying fortifications, and a tense and solemn atmosphere filled the air. "Feiya, you and the dwarf craftsmen check all the defense equipment to make sure every catapult, crossbow and artillery works properly!" Jane''s voice was clear and powerful, spreading throughout the city wall. "yes!" Feiya nodded and quickly took the dwarf craftsman to check. In [Rhine City], Shu people and Yongyue tribe are also transporting various equipment and materials to the outside of the city to build an outer line of defense. Looking at the busy [Rhine City], Xia En felt a little more secure. [Rhine City] After developing silently for so long, it naturally has extremely terrifying potential for war. And when this potential is called, it shows a shocking power. Soon, Jane on the wall noticed the return of Xia En and others. "Captain Shane, you''re back." Jane''s voice was still calm, but Shane could hear a hint of fatigue in her tone. Xia En said, "Thank you for your hard work." Jian shook his head slightly, his eyes still firm: "This is what I should do." "How is the situation with you?" Xia En nodded, and said calmly: "[Purification Stone] has been obtained. Next, we need to go to [Elf Secret Realm] as soon as possible to purify [Fountain of Life]." However, before this, I need to make sure the defense of [Rhine City] is stable enough. "After all, the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] has penetrated into the [Ancient Spirits], and they may launch an attack at any time." Jane''s eyes swept over the busy figure on the city wall, and her tone was firm. "Don''t worry, the fortifications of [Rhine City] have been basically completed." "The war potential of this city is beyond my expectations." "The cooperation between various races is very smooth, and the periphery defense line has been built." "Even if the [Ancient Spirit Clan] launches an attack, we have enough strength to resist." "That''s good." Xia En breathed a sigh of relief, and was impressed by Jane''s command ability. "By the way, where is Sha Jingjing? Why didn''t you see her?" Jian opened his mouth and explained, "Miss Saur has gone to retreat and made a breakthrough." "The only thing that [Rhine City] lacks now is the lack of high-end combat power." "But as long as Miss Saur and other Tree Man Elders successfully break through to the legendary realm, the situation will be very different." Shane nodded, Its true. "I hope she can make a smooth breakthrough." On the side, after hearing these words, Joey, Ann and Carlress also felt a sense of urgency in their hearts. Their strength is only a strait from the legend. But it was this slight difference that made them fall into a disadvantage when facing gargoyles. Thinking of this, Joey''s eyes flashed and she said. "Mr. Captain, I will also be in seclusion in [Rhine City] for a period of time." After spending so long with Joey, Shane naturally saw Joeys thoughts at a glance. He did not dissuade him, but said directly. "Okay, since you''ve decided, go." "But remember, be careful during the breakthrough process and don''t force yourself." "If you encounter any problems, please feel free to notify me." Joey nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Captain!" After saying that, Joey quickly left the city wall and walked towards the core area of ??[Rhine City]. Shane watched Joey leave, praying in her heart that she could make a smooth breakthrough. Jane walked to Shane and whispered. "Captain Shane, are you really relieved to let her go into seclusion at this time?" Shane smiled, his eyes firmly: "I believe in Joey." "And, the current [Rhine City] does need more legendary combat power." Jane nodded and said nothing. Her eyes swept over the busy figure on the city wall again, and her tone was calm. "Since that''s the case, let''s continue to strengthen our defense." "The attack of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] may come at any time, and we must plan the worst." Xia En nodded and said. "Jane, the defense of [Rhine City] will be left to you." "I need to go to the [Elf Secret Realm] to purify the [Fountain of Life] as soon as possible." Jian was slightly stunned, then nodded: "I understand." "Don''t worry, I''m here in Rhine." Xia En did not hesitate and directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and took the other crew members to the [Elf Secret Realm]. Not long. Xia En and others came to [Fountain of Life]. The spring water still emits a faint black mist, and the suffocating and filthy aura still lingers in the air. Angel stood beside Xia En: "Have you obtained the [Purification Stone]?" Shane nodded, Yes. As he said that, he took out the [Purification Stone] from his arms. This extremely high purity [rhinite] looks like a crystal clear gem. It emits a soft light, as if it is out of place with the darkness around it. Xia En took a deep breath and gently put the [Purification Stone] into the spring water. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! Just as the [Purification Stone] touched the spring water, a strong light suddenly burst out. It''s like a small sun rising in the spring. The soft light spread rapidly, and wherever it went, the black mist melted like ice and snow. The filthy aura in the spring water is quickly purified, replaced by a fresh and pure vitality. The nearby elves couldn''t help but stare at the scene in shock. The black mist in the spring water gradually dissipated, and the originally turbid water surface became clear and transparent. It''s like a mirror reflecting the blue sky. The plants around the spring water also began to revive, and the withered branches and leaves regained their vitality. The flowers bloom in the light, emitting a faint fragrance. And the dark sun in the sky seemed to have undergone a slight change. Xia En also felt a little relaxed. It seemed as if a huge rock pressed on my heart had been removed. He looked down at the spring water and suddenly found a blurred phantom appearing in the spring water. It was a woman''s figure, with long hair like a waterfall and a beautiful face. "This is" Xia En couldn''t help but hold his breath. Of course he would not admit his mistake. The phantom that appeared in the spring was Laila! In fact, the reason why Xia En came to the [Elf Secret Realm] was originally to find the information left by Laila. Unexpectedly, her message would be in this [Fountain of Life]! "Leila..." Xia En whispered, and a complicated feeling surged in his heart. Leila''s phantom slowly opened her eyes, her eyes empty and distant, as if she had lost all her memories and emotions. Her voice was as if it came from a distant place, with a sense of illusion. "Shane...I''ve already gone to [The Secret Sea]..." "I have lost all my memories and emotions now..." "[The Blind God of Idiot] may create a brand new and strange me..." "But perhaps, with the help of An and Vivian, you can call back my lost past..." "Fountain of Lifecan reshape Vivian''s body..." "Instant Timecan lock my position" Leila''s voice gradually dissipated, and the phantom disappeared. Xia En stood there, unable to calm down for a long time. Just then. The power of [Fountain of Life] surged again, and a pure secret force poured into Xia En''s body. He felt that the [Void Secret Power] in his body resonated with this power, and a strange change was faintly produced. He looked down at the [Silent Time] in his hand and found that it had changed from the shape of a pocket watch to an exquisite compass. The pointer trembled slightly, as if pointing in a certain direction. "This is" Xia En looked at the compass in his hand in surprise, feeling vaguely in his heart that this might be the way to find her by Leila. at the same time. The secret power of [Fountain of Life] suddenly surged into An''s body. The extremely vigorous and vivid vitality, with the unique secret power of the elf, instilled into her body. An felt an unprecedented warmth and power surge in his body. The force was like a rushing river, washing away every meridian in her body, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort. Her breathing gradually became deeper and her heartbeat accelerated. It seemed as if the whole world became clear in her perception. Close your eyes and feel the flow of power. Her consciousness seemed to be pulled into a strange space, surrounded by an endless void, only she stood alone. In the void, countless tiny spots of light flashed around her, as bright as stars. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the light spots, and suddenly felt a powerful force pouring into her body. "Is this...the essence of secret power?" An murmured in a low voice, and a sense of enlightenment surged in his heart. She realized that these light spots were the concreteization of secret forces, and her body was resonating with them. Her consciousness gradually became immersed in it, as if it was integrated with the entire world. She felt that her soul was sublimating and the secret power in her body was constantly condensed. It''s like breaking through some invisible shackles. boom- The next moment. An unprecedented force poured into An''s body. Her body seemed to be wrapped in a warm light, the secret power in her body quickly condensed, and her breath suddenly increased. A golden light flashed in her eyes. The whole person seemed to be reborn and entered a new realm. soon. An slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still standing next to [Fountain of Life], but everything around him became different. The light in the spring water is even brighter, and the plants around it are full of vitality. Angel and the elves were looking at her with shocking eyes, as if they had seen some incredible existence. Its really similar Angel sighed softly. The An in front of her was almost the same as the indomitable girl in her memory. Although the other elves had never seen Leila, they all had an inexplicable feeling. Ann, who was promoted to the legend, was more like an elf queen than any of their elf queens! An felt the surging power in his body, and his heart was shocked and delighted. She looked down at her hands, as if she could feel every secret force flowing through her fingertips. She knew that she had broken through that shackle and entered the legendary realm. at the same time. Xia En also felt a secret force entering his body. Because of the effect of "captain''s majesty"! [Comprehensive quality: 8085! [Get the talent of crew member An: the source of life! "This is" Of course Xia En did not forget that the effect of [Captain''s Majesty] will also take effect on the crew. But before, the crew members were quite different from him, so it was difficult to provide him with any bonus. But at this time. An''s breakthrough in the legend has made Xia En benefit too. (End of this chapter) Chapter 448 [Secret Realm Channel] [Reappearance of Chapter 448 [Secret Realm Channel] [Reappearance of Defiled Secret Power] "call" Feeling the power in his body, Xia En breathed a long sigh. He realized something else at this moment. Since An''s breakthrough can bring him considerable benefits. So, when his other crew members break through to the legendary realm, will he usher in a leap-like improvement again? After a little imagination of that situation, Xia En turned his head and found An was staring at him. "Captain Shane..." An spoke softly, with a look of excitement and expectation on his face. Xia En smiled slightly and nodded. "Congratulations, yes." "You finally entered the legendary realm." An Cong [Duke Island] met him and experienced various tests and difficulties together, including several life and death crises. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a shared hardship. At this time, An finally broke through the legendary realm, which is indeed something to be happy about. Hearing Xia En''s words, a faint blush appeared on An''s face, and she lowered her head and said softly. "Thank you, Captain." I wouldnt have been able to get to this point without your guidance and support. Xia En shook his head, speaking firmly: "This is your own effort and talent." An took a deep breath: "I will continue to become stronger and protect you." Xia En smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "You''ve done a great job." Next, we need more strength to deal with the coming crisis. An nodded, his eyes firmly: "I will do my best." Just then. An Qi walked to An''s side, her eyes soft and complicated. She sighed softly, with a hint of expectation and earnestness in her tone. "An, when this crisis is over, are you willing to stay in the [Elf Secret Realm] and become our Elf Queen?" An Wei was stunned, obviously not expecting An Qi to make such a request. She glanced at Xia En subconsciously, then shook her head, her tone firm and gentle. "Anqi, thank you for your trust and invitation, but I can''t accept it." An Qi''s eyes flashed with disappointment, but she did not show too much emotion, just asked softly. "Why? You are the most suitable person." "Your blood, your strength, and even your temperament are so similar to our Queen." "You are born to belong here." An answered seriously: "I do have a special relationship with [Elf Secret Realm], and it makes me feel familiar and intimate here." But my destination is not here. "My captain, my companions, and my mission are all on the Black Swan." "I can''t leave them behind." Settling down, continuing, And, although Im a lot like Laila, Ill never be Laila. I have my own path to go. Xia En stood aside and listened silently to the conversation between the two. He was not surprised by Ann''s decision. No matter how similar Ann and Laila are, they have finally become two completely different individuals. Moreover, An did not grow up in the elves'' territory like Laila and was raised by the elves. Her sense of belonging to the elves is not that strong. This is why he refuses to become the queen of the elves. Angel was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, with a hint of regret in her tone. I understand your choice. "But if you change your mind in the future, the door to [Elf Secret Realm] will always be open to you." An nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Ms. Anqi." Anqi turned her head and looked at the [Fourth of Life] not far away. "Since [Spring of Life] has been purified, we can start to instill the spring water into the ritual to stabilize the barrier of the [Elf Secret Realm]." And at this time. Xia En thought of something. Since they have confirmed that the [Ancient Spirit Clan] migrated from the [Elf Secret Realm] to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. This means that there must be some kind of channel between the two [secret realms]. Can the rituals left by Laila transmit the power of protection from the [Elf Secret Realm] to the [Rhine Secret Realm], thereby preventing the pollution of the [Heart-breaking Apostle]? Or. Can the elves pass through this channel and support the [Rhine Secret Realm]? Thinking of this, Xia En immediately told An Qi his guess. After hearing these words, An Qi frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Her eyes wandered back and forth between [Foot of Life] and Xia En, as if weighing the feasibility of this idea. "Your speculation is not unreasonable." Angel spoke slowly, her tone very cautious. "There is indeed some kind of ancient passage between [Elf Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]." "The rituals left by Queen Laila back then may not only be used to protect the [Elf Secret Realm], but may also hide the secrets connecting the two secret realms." She paused for a moment and continued. "However, the existence of such a channel and how to activate it are unknown." We need to carefully study the rituals left by Laila to determine whether it will be able to fulfill your vision. Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "Time is tight, we must act as soon as possible." "If the power of the [Elf Secret Realm] can be transmitted to the [Rhine Secret Realm] through the ritual." "It not only prevents the pollution of the [Heart-Striving Apostle], but also allows the power of the elves to support the defense of the [Rhine City]." Angel pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. "Okay, I will gather the elders and scholars of the clan to study the rituals left by Laila." "If we can really find clues to the channel, we will fully cooperate with your plan." Xia En smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your support, Anqi." This is crucial to us. Angel waved her hand and said, "You''re welcome, we have a common enemy." "It would be a good thing for us to completely resolve this threat with your power." She turned to look at An, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. "An, since you have rejected the proposal to become the Elf Queen." "Then I hope you can continue to exert your strength in the next action." "With your bloodline and talent, you may play a key role in the process of studying rituals." An nodded, speaking firmly: "I will do my best to help everyone." Xia En looked at An, then looked at An Qi, and felt relieved in her heart. He knew that although An Qi regretted An''s choice, she was still willing to cooperate for the overall situation. This is undoubtedly a good start. "So, let''s start now." Shane said, "Time waits for no one, and the threat of [Heart-breaking Apostle] may erupt at any time." Angel nodded and turned around and gave orders to the elves around her. "Call all elders and scholars immediately and go to the core area of ??the ritual." "We need to crack the secrets left by Queen Laila as soon as possible." The elves acted quickly, and the atmosphere of the entire [Elf Secret Realm] became tense and orderly. Xia En looked at the [Fourth of Life] beside him. He didn''t forget another message in Laila''s message [Fountain of Life] can reshape Vivian''s body! Now Vivian is not only in the [Eternal Coffin] in his soul state, but also falls into a deep sleep. And the power of [Fountain of Life] may nourish her damaged soul. Xia En took a deep breath and turned to look at An Qi. "Anqi, I need to use the power of [Fountain of Life] to reshape my body for my partner." An Qi was slightly stunned and nodded immediately. "The power of [Fountain of Life] can do this." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! However, the process of reshaping the body requires extremely fine control. "A little carelessness may lead to problems with the soul and the body." Shane nodded, speaking firmly: "I understand the risks, but this is our only chance." Angel was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will assist you." "However, before that, we need to ensure that the power of [Fountain of Life] is stable enough." "After all, the spring water that has just been purified may take some time to fully recover." Shane nodded, I understand. "We can start studying the ritual first, and wait until the power of [Fountain of Life] stabilizes before reshaping the body for Vivian." Angel smiled slightly, "This arrangement is reasonable." "So, let''s go to the core area of ??the ritual now." Then, the group quickly moved and advanced towards the core area of ??the [Elf Secret Realm]. Soon, Xia En and others came to the core area of ??the ritual. Here is an ancient altar, surrounded by complex runes and patterns, emitting a faint light. In the center of the altar, a huge emerald green crystal floats. The crystal seems to contain infinite secret power. Angel walked to the altar and whispered an ancient spell. As the spell chanted, the runes on the altar gradually lit up, and the secret power in the crystal began to surge. "This is the core of the ritual left by Queen Leila." Angel explained: "Through it, we can control the protective barrier of the [Elf Secret Realm] to a certain extent, and may even find a channel to the [Rhine Secret Realm]." Xia En nodded, staring at the crystal. "What do we need to do?" Angel pondered for a moment and said slowly: "First, we need to activate the core of the ritual, and then use it to sense the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm]." "If there is indeed a passage between the two secret realms, the ritual should be able to capture its fluctuations." Shane nodded, Then lets start. Angel did not say much, but continued to chant the spell, waving the staff in her hand gently to guide the power of the ritual. As she moved, the rune light on the altar became stronger and stronger, and the secret power in the crystal began to fluctuate violently. Shane felt a powerful force surge around. It seemed as if the entire [Elf Secret Realm] was responding to the call of the ritual. At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in the crystal, and a blurry picture appeared. In the picture, you can vaguely see a land similar to [Elf Secret Realm] but different. A city that Xia En is extremely familiar with is standing on the earth. It is [Rhine City]! "Success!" Anqi''s voice was filled with excitement: "The ritual captured the fluctuations of the [Rhine Secret Realm]!" Xia En''s eyes stared at the picture, and a burst of excitement surged in his heart. "It seems that there is indeed a passage between the two secret realms." Angel nodded, "Yes, but this passage seems to be blocked by some kind of force." "We need to find a way to unlock it in order to transmit the power of the [Elf Secret Realm] over." Xia En pondered for a moment, then said, "Perhaps we can unlock the passage through the power of [Fountain of Life]." "Fountain of Life is the core of Elf Secret Realm, and its power should be able to penetrate the blockade." "By the way, you can also strengthen the barrier and let the scene of [Black Sun Flying in the Sky] disappear." Angel applauded: "Your idea makes sense." "We can try to inject the power of [Fountain of Life] into the ritual to see if we can unlock the passage." Shane nodded, "Then act as soon as possible." Angel did not hesitate and quickly led everyone back to [Fountain of Life]. At this time, the power of [Fountain of Life] has stabilized, and the light in the spring water is even brighter. Angel walked to the spring water and chanted a spell in a low voice, guiding the power of the spring water. As she moved, the light in the spring gradually condensed, forming a pillar of light that rushed straight into the sky. Then, the beam of light shot directly at the emerald green crystal in the altar. A moment later, the picture of [Rhine Secret Realm] appeared in the crystal again. This time, the picture is clearer, and you can even see the scene in [Rhine City]. The residents of all races in the city and the tall and gorgeous buildings are all visible. Seeing this, An Qi couldn''t help but show a surprised expression. "Is this...your [Rhine City]?" Xia En showed a little pride on his face. "That''s right." Angel exclaimed, What a beautiful city. "I can feel that the passage between the two [secret realms] is being unlocked!" However, at this moment, a black mist suddenly flashed in the picture. The black mist expanded rapidly, as if it was about to swallow the entire picture. "This is" Xia En''s expression changed. He immediately felt a familiar [filthy secret power] from this black mist. There is no doubt that this is the residual power of []! at the same time. [Elf Secret Realm] The dark sun in the sky became darker and deeper. The strange black light seemed to dye the remaining two suns black together. At the critical moment, An''s eyes suddenly froze. She felt that the familiar filthy force was trying to erode the [Elf Secret Realm] through the passage, and even threatened the safety of [Rhine City]. She took a step forward without hesitation, spreading her hands, and the secret power in her body resonated quickly with the power of [Fountain of Life]. "I''ll stop it!" An''s voice was firm and powerful, and her body was wrapped in a faint golden light, as if it was integrated with [Fountain of Life]. Her hands gently waved, and the light in the spring suddenly increased. It turned into a dazzling pillar of light and rushed straight into the sky. (End of this chapter) Chapter 449 【The battle starts】【The ancient spirit t Chapter 449 [The Battle End] [Test of the Ancient Spirit Clan] Over the ritual. The beam of light and the black mist collided violently in the void, making a harsh hissing sound. The black fog seemed to have life, and was frantically trying to devour the light column. But An''s power was like a sharp sword, tearing and purifying the black fog little by little. "An, be careful!" Xia En stood aside, staring at An''s figure, feeling both worried and relieved. He knew that at this time, An was no longer the crew member who needed his protection, but a true legendary strongman. An did not respond, and her whole mind was focused on the confrontation with the black mist. A fine bead of sweat oozed out of her forehead, but her eyes remained firm. She could feel that the filthy power contained in the black mist was trying to erode her will, but she would never retreat. Just then. In the Elf Temple, a mysterious halo gradually lit up on the statue belonging to Laila. The statue''s eyes slowly opened. The next moment. An suddenly realized that a new force was instilled into her body. "Leira, the other me, is this your backup plan for you to stay..." A complex emotion emerged in An''s heart. However, she did not waste such an opportunity. The secret power in the body suddenly burst out. The power of the light column instantly increased several times, like a golden torrent, completely submerging the black fog. The black fog let out a shrill roar, and then disappeared without a trace in the light. The dark sun in the sky also trembled slightly at this moment, as if it had been hit by some kind of impact. "Success!" Anqi''s voice was filled with excitement. She looked up at the sky and found that the color of the black sun was gradually fading, and the originally pitch-black light was replaced by a layer of soft gold. "An, you did it!" Xia En walked to An, with undisguised appreciation in his tone. An gasped slightly, with a tired smile on her face: "This is only temporary." "I can feel that the power of Black Sun has not completely disappeared, and [] may invade again at any time." Xia En nodded with a serious look. "Yes, as long as [] does not disappear, the crisis will not be eliminated." At this moment, the emerald green crystals on the altar suddenly emitted a strong light. The [Rhine City] in the picture becomes clear again. Angel quickly walked to the altar and carefully observed the changes in the picture. "The coordinates of the channel have been confirmed!" Angel excitedly said, "We can transmit the power of [Fourth of Life] to [Rhine Secret Realm] through the rituals, and completely purify the filthy power there!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Xia En''s eyes: "That''s great!" "In this way, we can not only protect [Rhine City], but also cut off the control of [Heart-breaking Apostle] over [Ancient Spirits]." Angel nodded, but her expression was still serious. However, this process requires extremely precise control. "A little carelessness may lead to an imbalance in the energy of the two secret realms and may even lead to catastrophic consequences." Xia En took a deep breath and his eyes were firm. We have to try anyway. An walked to Xia En''s side and whispered, "I will do my best to assist Anqi to ensure the stability of the ritual." Xia En nodded and patted An on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work." Angel did not say much and quickly began to guide the power of the ritual. Her hands gently brushed over the emerald green crystals, whispering ancient spells. As she moved, the secret power in the crystal began to fluctuate violently, and a dazzling light shot out from the crystal and rushed straight into the sky. At the same time, the power of [Foot of Life] is also guided into the ritual. The light in the spring water intertwined with the light of the crystal, forming a portal composed of light doors. But at this time. This portal is still unstable and cannot allow living things to pass through, so the power to transmit [Fountain of Life] is extremely barely enough. Angel frowned, and fine beads of sweat oozed out from her forehead. Her hands moved quickly on the emerald green crystals, as if playing a complex movement. As she moved, the light gate gradually stabilized, but it still seemed fragile. Not enough Angel murmured in a low voice, his tone a little anxious. Xia En stood aside, staring at the light gate. He could feel that the energy fluctuations coming from the light gate were extremely unstable. It seems like it may collapse at any time. "Anqi, what do I need to do?" Xia En asked in a deep voice. Angel did not look up and was still focused on the control of the ritual: "I need more power to stabilize the light gate." "An, can you continue to guide the power of [Fountain of Life]?" An nodded and walked to [Fountain of Life] without hesitation. Her hands gently touched the spring water, and the secret power in her body resonated quickly with the spring water. The light in the spring water increased again, turning into a dazzling column of light, rushing straight into the sky. "Captain Shane, I need your help." Anqi''s voice was urgency. "Your [Void Secret Power] can help me balance the energy fluctuations of the ritual." Xia En did not hesitate and quickly walked to Anqi''s side. He closed his eyes, and the [Void Secret Power] in his body was slowly released, resonating with the energy in the ritual. He could feel that the energy in the ritual was gradually stabilizing, and the fluctuations of the light gate were also weakening a lot. "Very good, keep going!" Anqi said happily. After a while, the light gate gradually stabilized. Angel said: "Although this passage has been temporarily stable, it may take some time to pass safely." Xia En was not anxious either, and nodded calmly and said, "I understand." And just then. An exclaimed as he pointed to a corner of the emerald green crystal that appeared in the picture. "Captain Shane, look there!" Xia En looked in the direction An pointed, and his face changed slightly. I saw that in the farther place of [Rhine City] displayed on the screen, one tall giant apes appeared. Their bodies are composed of secret forces, emitting an extraordinary aura, like weapons born for war. And in the forest, there are a large number of beasts, as if driven by some kind of force. They gradually gathered into small-scale beast tides and rushed towards the direction of [Rhine City]. "Is it the [Ancient Spirit Clan]?" Xia En''s expression was solemn, and he murmured, "Have they taken action?" "But, how could it be so fast?" According to Xia En''s original expectations, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] shouldn''t have launched an attack so quickly. "Wait, is it because..." Xia En soon thought of their previous riots in the [Ancient Spirits] mining area and the actions of snatching away the [Purification Stone]. Perhaps, it was precisely because their behavior angered the [Ancient Spirit Clan] that the other party provoked the war in advance. Xia En frowned, and quickly weighed the current situation in his heart. He turned to look at An Qi and An, with a quick tone but still calm. "The [Ancient Spirit Clan]''s attack was much earlier than we expected, and we must take action immediately." An Qi nodded with a firm look. "I will continue to stabilize the passage and ensure that the power of [Fountain of Life] can be transmitted smoothly to [Rhine Secret Realm]." "You will return to [Rhine City] as soon as possible and organize defense." Shane did not hesitate and made a decision quickly. "An, you stay here to assist Angel and ensure the stability of the passage." "I and the others immediately return to [Rhine City] and prepare for the fight." Although An was a little reluctant, she knew that the situation was not hesitant. She nodded, and said firmly: "I will do my best to assist Angel to ensure the safety of the passage." "You must be careful." Shane patted her on the shoulder and smiled. "Don''t worry, we won''t let the [Ancient Spirit Clan] succeed." The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! After saying that, Xia En turned around and looked at the other crew members, speaking decisively. "We will return to [Rhine City] immediately and prepare for the fight!" The crew responded in unison: "Yes, Captain Shane!" Xia En quickly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] and took the crew back to [Rhine City] through the portal. When Xia En and others returned to [Rhine City], the atmosphere in the city was already extremely tense. The fortifications on the city walls have all been in place. The tree people, dwarves and the Yongyue tribe were on guard and stared at the forest in the distance. Jane stood on the city wall with a torch-like gaze, commanding the soldiers of all races to deploy defenses. "Feiya, make sure all trenchers and crossbows are in their best condition!" "Dwarf craftsman, check every defense node in the city wall to make sure there are no loopholes!" "The Yongyue tribe members are ready to use guns to fight the enemies in the air!" Jane''s voice was clear and powerful, spreading throughout the city wall. Xia En quickly walked to Jane''s side and said in a deep voice. "The [Ancient Spirit Clan] attack was earlier than we expected, and they had already assembled outside the city." Jane nodded, her eyes still calm: "I''ve seen it." "Their giant apes and beast tide is approaching and an attack is expected to be launched soon." Xia En''s eyes swept over the fortifications on the city wall, and he felt a little relieved. The fortifications of [Rhine City] have been basically completed, and warriors of all races have also been ready for battle. Moreover, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] launched an offensive in advance. From another perspective, they may not be fully prepared. At this time, the small number of giant apes and the tide of beasts mixed in it are proof of this. "Jane, you did a great job." Xia En said sincerely. Jian shook his head slightly, his tone still calm: "This is what I should do." "Now, we need to formulate a detailed combat plan to deal with the attack of the [Ancient Spirits]." Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "That''s right. We must ensure the safety of [Rhine City] while minimizing casualties as much as possible." At this moment, a rapid alarm came from the watchtower on the city wall. "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Shane and Jane quickly walked to the edge of the city wall, looking at the forest in the distance. I saw a large number of giant apes and beasts gushing out from the forest. The giant apes waved their huge fists, and the beasts roared and rushed towards the [Rhine City], and the whole earth trembled under their steps. But soon. Shane and Jane both discovered one thing. That is, although there are many giant apes and beast tides, they are much less than they expected. It was even less than the last beast tide. Xia En and Jane looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other''s eyes. "Sure enough, the [Ancient Spirit Clan] was not ready either." Shane said, "Perhaps this is just their tentative attack, and the real threat is still behind." Jane pondered for a moment, then said, "We cannot take it lightly anyway." "Even if this is just a test, we must do our best and not give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of." Shane nodded in agreement: "You''re right." We have to plan for the worst. He turned around and looked at the soldiers of all races on the city wall and gave a loud order. "Everyone, prepare for the fight!" "Cattaggers, crossbows, and magic power heavy cannons aim at the giant ape, and the gunman is ready to shoot the enemies in the air!" With Xiaen''s orders, the soldiers on the walls acted quickly. The sound of catapults and crossbows sounded, and stones, shells and sharp crossbow arrows were loaded, aiming at the giant ape in the distance. The magic power heavy cannon has also entered the charging state. The gunmen held the weapons in their hands and stared at the sky, ready to deal with possible flying enemies. Xia En''s eyes swept across the city wall again, and he prayed secretly in his heart. "I hope our defense can withstand this wave of attack." Just then. The giant ape and beast tide in the distance have approached the defense line of [Rhine City]. The giant apes let out a deafening roar, and the sound of the beasts'' hooves shocked the earth like thunder. "Let''s fire!" With Xia En''s order, several cannons on the city walls rang in unison. Rumble Huge stones, sharp crossbow arrows and hot energy shells poured down like rain, instantly covering the giant apes and beast tide in front of them. The giant apes roared in pain, and the beasts fell in the cannon fire, and the blood stained the earth red. However, these giant apes and beasts seemed not afraid of death and still charged forward frantically. "Continue attacking!" "Don''t give them any chance to breathe!" Xia En''s voice sounded again, with unquestionable firmness in his tone. The soldiers on the city wall did not hesitate at all, quickly loaded ammunition and launched another attack. And at the same time. An extremely large giant ape in the beast tide let out a shocking roar. As soon as it stepped on the ground, the earth kept collapsing, it jumped high and smashed towards the [Rhine City] like a meteorite. Xia En could tell at a glance that this giant ape had legendary power! If it is allowed to fall into the city, it will undoubtedly cause great casualties to the residents in the city. "It must be stopped!" "Magic energy heavy artillery... prepare!" Following Shane''s orders. The magic energy heavy cannon on the top of the city accumulated energy again, and then a terrifying purple light column was shot out. However, just as this pillar of light was about to hit the giant ape. A black mist spread all over the giant ape. The fog blocked the attack of the light column like a barrier, leaving it without any damage. Seeing this, Xia En''s pupils shrank slightly. "Have the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle] penetrated into these giant apes?" The original giant ape was condensed from the secret power of nature and did not have this filthy characteristic. But now, they have obviously changed a little. Xia En''s thoughts flashed through his mind, and then, without hesitation, rushed towards the giant ape falling from the sky. (End of this chapter) Chapter 450 【Fight to defend the city】 Chapter 450 [The Battle of Defending the City] In the air. Xia En''s figure was like a pitch-black lightning, instantly rushing towards the giant ape that was falling from the sky. In his body, the secret power of the void surged wildly, turning into the armor of the [Big Dark Sky], wrapping up his whole body. His eyes were tightly locked at the giant ape, and there was only one thought in his mind You must never let this giant ape fall into the city! "drink!" Xia En shouted softly, his hands suddenly opened, and the secret power of the void condensed into two sharp black blades in his palm. His figure drew a graceful arc in the air and stabbed straight into the giant ape''s chest. The giant ape seemed to notice Xia En''s threat, let out a deafening roar, and swung his fists suddenly, smashing towards Xia En with violent force. However, Shane is faster. His figure flashed flexibly in the air, easily avoiding the attack of the giant ape. "Swish!" The long black blade slashed across the giant ape''s chest, bringing a black mist. The giant ape let out a painful roar, and its body stumbled slightly in the air, but soon returned to balance. Its eyes turned scarlet and the black mist around it became even more intense, as if it was about to completely swallow Xia En. "Sure enough, the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle] has eroded its body..." Xia En was secretly shocked, but he did not retreat. He knew that he had to deal with the giant ape as soon as possible, otherwise the residents in the city would face a huge threat. "Come again!" Xia En''s figure flashed again, and the secret power of the void surged wildly in his body. His speed is faster than before and his attack is even more fierce. The long black blade drew deep lights in the air. Each wave brings up a black mist. Although the giant ape is powerful, under Xia En''s flexible attack, it gradually seems powerless. Its body was cut by Xia En''s long blade. The black mist kept overflowing from the wound, and the secret power kept passing away. It seems that its vitality is being pulled away little by little. "The last blow!" A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, and the secret power of the void in his body burst out instantly. His figure flashed like thunder and stabbed straight to the head of the giant ape. "Puff!" The silver long blade accurately pierced the giant ape''s eyebrows. Black mist gushed out of its head in an instant. The giant ape let out a shrill roar, and its body trembled violently in the air, and then it hit the ground outside the city heavily. "boom!" The giant ape''s body hit the ground, stirring up a piece of dust. Its body gradually disintegrates, turning into fine secret forces, and eventually dissipates in the air. However, Shane noticed that there was a little black mist left where the giant ape disappeared. It''s like the residual [filthy secret power]. "Um?" Xia En raised his brows and vaguely noticed something abnormal. However, his attention did not stop on it. Because he knew that the battle was not over yet. "Captain Shane!" Jane''s voice came from the city wall, with a little anxiety. Xia En looked up and found that the tide of beasts in the distance did not stop because of the death of the giant ape, but instead rushed towards [Rhine City] even more crazily. Not only that. In the forest in the distance, there was also an ancient and mysterious sound of flute sound. Immediately afterwards. The giant apes in the legendary realm of the beast tide seem to be driven by some kind of force and become more violent and ferocious. Their eyes were scarlet and their bodies were filled with thick black mist, as if they were completely controlled by the power of the [Heart-Striving Apostle]. These giant apes no longer charge blindly like before. Instead, they began to disperse in an organized manner, trying to break through the defense line of [Rhine City] from multiple directions. "The situation is not good!" Xia En''s heart sank and quickly returned to the city wall to meet with Jian. Jian''s face was also solemn: "Those flute sounds should be the means of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] controlling the beast tide." "It''s the same as the last beast tide." Xia En nodded, swept his eyes over the fortifications on the city wall, and made a quick judgment. We have to adjust our defense strategies and not let them find a breakthrough. He turned around and whispered to the warriors of all races on the city wall: "All artillery and weapons concentrate their firepower and give priority to attacking the legendary giant apes!" "The gunman is careful in the air to prevent raids from flying enemies!" "Dwarf craftsman, strengthen the weakness of the wall immediately!" With Xiaen''s orders, the soldiers on the walls acted quickly. The sound of the catapult and the crossbows sounded again. Stones, shells and sharp crossbow arrows poured down like rain, heading straight for the legendary giant apes. However, these giant apes are obviously more difficult to deal with than the ordinary giant apes before. Their black mist barrier can withstand most attacks and can recover quickly even if hit. Xia En couldn''t help but feel nervous when he saw this scene. "These giant apes have too strong defenses, and ordinary attacks have limited effects on them." Jian said with a serious expression. "Although they only have the physical qualities of legends, they do not have the laws of legends." "But only legendary lethality can be used to deal with them." Xia En turned his head and looked at the people on the city wall and gave a decisive order. "All secret paths with legendary combat power should take all their strength!" "Yes, Lord Xiaen!" The first move was the bronze dragon wearing a bronze crown - String Ge Maya. Her figure rose from the city wall like a hot meteor, with dragon wings spreading, and flames burning around her. There was a dark golden light in her eyes, as if it contained endless anger. roar! ! The roar of the string song rang through the sky like thunder. She suddenly opened the dragon''s mouth and spit out a hot dragon breath. The flames swept down like a torrent, instantly swallowing a legendary giant ape and a beast tide. The giant ape let out a shrill roar, and the black mist around him quickly evaporated in the flames. Its body was burned black and eventually turned into a pile of ashes. However, the other giant apes were not scared away, but rushed towards the city wall even more violently. At this moment, Feiya''s figure appeared on the other side of the city wall. He held a huge steam gun in his hand, and hot steam gushed out of the barrel, making a deafening roar. "Try this!" Feiya sneered and pulled the trigger, and a huge metal shell shot out from the gun. The shells drew a hot trajectory in the air and headed straight to the chest of a legendary giant ape. The giant ape tried to resist with black mist. But the impact of the shell was too strong, and it instantly penetrated its defense and directly hit its chest. The giant ape''s body shook violently and took several steps back. But such injuries are not enough to completely kill it. Just the next moment. A dark yellow arrow seemed to have traveled through space and hit the giant ape''s eyebrows accurately. The black mist instantly dissipated under the impact of the arrow. The giant ape''s body stiffened for a moment, then slowly fell down and turned into a ball of black dust. "Miss Sa, you''re doing a pretty job!" Feiya exclaimed. I saw Sha Jingjing standing on the high place on the city wall, holding a bow and arrow flashing with cold light. The fatal arrow just now came from her hands. On the other side of the city wall, the tree man elder Iris walked towards a legendary giant ape that was hitting the city wall with heavy steps. His body was like a moving mountain, and every step made the earth tremble slightly. Iris''s voice was low and powerful, as if it had come from ancient times. "You cannot violate my home!" Eris stretched out his huge branch arm and slapped at the giant ape. The giant ape was not willing to be outdone and waved its huge fist to fight. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! The collision between the two was like two mountains colliding, making a deafening roar. Eris''s branch arm was trembling slightly by the power of the giant ape, but instead of retreating, he increased his strength. "boom!" Eris''s branch arm suddenly exerted force, pressing down the giant ape''s fist. The giant ape''s body was bent by a huge force. Black mist kept spilling out of its body. Eris took the opportunity to grab the giant ape''s shoulder with his other arm, lifted it up suddenly, and then smashed it hard towards the ground. "Bang!" The giant ape''s body hit the ground, stirring up a piece of dust. Eris gave it no chance to breathe, lifted his huge soles and stomped it down. The giant ape''s body completely disintegrated at Iris'' feet, turning into a black mist that dissipated into the air. Eris slowly withdrew his soles and glanced at the battlefield coldly. His body was like an unshakable mountain, standing in front of the city wall, building a solid barrier for the [Rhine City]. However, the battle did not end. In the forest in the distance, the sound of the flute still echoed, directing the attack of the beast tide. Although the legendary giant apes were temporarily repelled, more beasts and giant apes were surging out from the depths of the forest, as if endless. Shane stood on the city wall with a serious look. He knew that relying solely on the fortifications on the city wall and the power of several legendary powerhouses, it would be difficult to withstand such an attack for a long time. "We must find a way to cut off the control of the beast tide by the [Ancient Spirit Clan]!" Shane whispered. Jane nodded, her eyes turning to the forest in the distance: "Those flutes are the key." "If we could find the [Ancient Spirits] who play the flute, we might be able to disrupt their offensive." Xia En pondered for a moment, then decisively ordered: "Fiya, Sha Jingjing, you stay on the wall to continue defending." "Stand Song, Eris, you are responsible for cleaning up the giant apes and beasts near the walls." "Jane, I''ll leave the task to you." Jane nodded, her eyes firm. "Don''t worry, I will make sure the city walls are safe to defend." Xia En took a deep breath, his eyes turned to the forest in the distance, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "I will go to the forest myself to find the [Ancient Spirits] who play the flute sound and cut off their control over the beast tide." Jane frowned slightly and said with some concern: "Shane, the forest is full of dangers, it is too dangerous for you to go alone." Shane shook his head, speaking firmly: "Time is tight, we have no other choice." And, only I can find and solve them in the shortest time. Jane was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. "Be careful, we will guard the walls and wait for you to come back." Xia En smiled, "Don''t worry, I''ll be back as soon as possible." After saying that, Xia En''s figure flashed, and he used [Void Shuttle] one after another to gallop towards the forest in the distance. In the forest, the trees are tall and dense. The light is blocked by dense branches and leaves, making it look particularly dim. Xia En''s figure shuttled through the trees quickly. He opened his vision of [Spying the Secret Eyes] and carefully searched for the source of the flute sound. As he penetrated into the forest, the sound of the flute became clearer and clearer, as if it was not far away. Xia En''s pace gradually slowed down. His eyes swept around with vigilance, and the secret power of the void in his body quietly surged, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a huge ancient tree. The trunks of the ancient tree are carved with complex runes, emitting a faint light. And among the branches of the ancient tree, you can vaguely see several figures. Holding the flute in his hand, playing the strange sound of the flute. "Finished!" A cold light flashed in Xia En''s eyes, his figure flashed, and he quickly approached the ancient tree. However, just as he was about to approach the ancient tree. The trees around suddenly shook violently, and several tall giant apes rushed out of the shadow and blocked Xia En''s presence. The eyes of these giant apes were scarlet and thick black mist was filled with all their bodies. They were obviously completely controlled by the power of the [Heart-breaking Apostle]. "As a result, there is an ambush..." Xia En snorted coldly, and the secret power of the void in his body burst out instantly. His figure flashed like a ghost, quickly avoiding the attack of the giant ape. The long black blade in his hand drew deep lights and headed straight to the vital points of the giant ape. "Swish! Swish! Swish!" The long black blade drew several cold lights in the air, instantly slitting the throats of several giant apes. The giant ape let out a painful roar and fell heavily to the ground. The black mist overflowed from their wounds and gradually dissipated. However, more giant apes surged out from all around, surrounding Shane. Xia En''s eyes were cold, the long blade in his hand was tightly squeezing, and the secret power of the void in his body surged wildly. He knew that he had to break through the siege of these giant apes as soon as possible. Otherwise, once it is dragged down, the defense on the city wall will face greater pressure. "I don''t have time to get entangled with you!" Xia En shouted softly, and the secret power of the void in his body suddenly burst out. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and he used [Void Shuttle] again to head straight for the [Ancient Spirit Clan] on the ancient tree. "Stop him!" On the ancient tree, a member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] shouted loudly. However, Xia En''s speed was too fast, and the giant apes had no time to react. His figure had already jumped onto the branches of the ancient tree, and the long black blade in his hand pointed directly at the [Ancient Spirit Clan] who played the sound of the flute. "it''s over!" Xia En''s voice was cold and the long blade suddenly pierced. The member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] suddenly shrank his pupils and tried to avoid it, but it was too late. "Puff!" The long black blade pierced into his chest accurately, and the sound of the flute stopped abruptly. The member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] let out a shrill scream. His body fell from the ancient tree and fell heavily to the ground. Seeing this, several other members of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] stopped playing and looked at Xia En in horror. "You...you dare..." A member of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] said tremblingly, his eyes full of fear. Xia En looked at them coldly, and his tone was cold: "That''s the end!" (End of this chapter) Chapter 451 【A golden rain】 Chapter 451 [A Golden Rain] Just finished speaking. Xia En''s figure flashed again, and the long blade in his hand was like the sickle of the **** of death, quickly reaping the lives of these [Ancient Spirit Clan]. After a moment, all the members of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] on the ancient tree fell down and the sound of the flute completely disappeared. As the sound of the flute stopped, the giant apes and beasts in the forest gradually returned to peace. Some beasts woke up like dreams and hurriedly retreated back to the forest. The surging beast tide was suddenly in full swing. And the giant apes seemed to have lost their command, not only began to fight on their own, but their offensive also became chaotic. Xia En stood on the ancient tree and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had successfully cut off the control of the beast tide of the [Ancient Spirit Clan], and the pressure on the city wall would be greatly reduced. However, he did not relax his vigilance. Because he knew that the threat of the [Heartbreaker] had not been completely eliminated, and the real crisis might have just begun. "We must return to the wall as soon as possible and prepare for the next battle." Xia En''s figure flashed and quickly galloped towards the direction of [Rhine City]. Above the city wall, Jane and everyone had noticed the changes in the forest. The beast tide gradually receded, the giant apes'' offensive became weaker, and the pressure on the city wall suddenly eased. "Shane succeeded!" A hint of joy flashed in Jane''s eyes, but she quickly returned to calm. She knew that it wasn''t time to relax. In fact, even the attack of the [Ancient Spirit Clan] itself may be just a test. Not long. Xia En''s figure quickly returned to the city of [Rhine City] like a black lightning. His breathing was slightly rapid, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife. Sha Jingjing immediately came up with concern in her eyes. "Shane, are you okay?" Sha Jingjing''s voice was a little nervous, and her eyes quickly swept across his body to confirm whether he was injured. Xia En shook his head and showed a faint smile. "I''m fine, I just consumed some secret power." "I have solved the [Ancient Spirit Clan] in the forest, and the offensive of the beast tide should be weakened a lot." Sa Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It''s time to clean up the remaining guys." After Shane returned to [Rhine City], he immediately began to organize the cleaning of the remaining enemies nearby. Xiange, Feiya and the soldiers in the city took action one after another. The string song unfolded the huge dragon wings and rose into the air. The fiery dragon breath poured down like a rain of fire, burning all the giant apes and beasts that were still wandering near the city wall. Her dragon roar shook the sky and the earth, shocking the remaining enemies and forcing them to retreat one after another. Feiya stood at a high place in the city wall, and the steam guns in her hand kept spitting out hot shells. Each shell hit the target accurately and shattered the giant apes trying to get close to the city wall. His eyes were cold and his movements were neat. Like a ruthless war machine. Sha Jingjing stood on the other side of the city wall, and the bow and arrow in her hand were like the staring of the **** of death. Every time the string is pulled, a dark yellow arrow flew out, accurately hitting the enemy''s key points. Her arrows are not only fast, but also contain powerful secret power. It can easily penetrate the black mist barrier of beasts and hit their core. Shane stood on the wall, his eyes swept across the battlefield, confirming that the remaining enemies could no longer pose a threat. But soon Jane walked to him and reminded. "Captain Shane, the corpses of the giant apes and beasts... seem to be something wrong." Xia En followed Jane''s gaze toward the city wall. I saw a faint black mist filled the bodies of the fallen giant apes and beasts. These mists seemed to have life, slowly penetrated into the ground and even began to spread into the air. Dirty Secret Power Xia En murmured in a low voice, his eyes gradually becoming solemn. He jumped gently and came around the corpses. Then, Xia En reached out and touched the ground, feeling a cold and evil force that was seeping out of the soil. The black mist seemed to be eroding everything around, and even the air became turbid. "These [filthy secret forces] are polluting soil and air." Shane stood up, his tone heavy. "If left unchecked, the surrounding environment around [Rhine City] will be completely corrupted and may even affect the residents in the city." Jane''s face also became ugly: "No wonder [Heartbreaker] will control the [Ancient Spirits] to launch this attack." "Their purpose is not just to break through [Rhine City]." "I also want to spread the [filthy secret power] on this land through the death of the beast tide." Xia En nodded, glanced at everyone on the city wall and said in a deep voice. "We must clean up these [filthy secret forces] as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." He turned around and whispered to the soldiers on the city wall: "Attention everyone!" "Cleaning the corpses of giant apes and beasts under the city wall immediately, be careful of the black mist!" "The secret path uses secret power to purify it, and others burn it with flames. Never allow the [filthy secret power] to continue to spread!" With Xiaen''s orders, the soldiers on the walls acted quickly. The secret paths all used their own secret techniques to purify the black mist. The flames ignited under the city walls, and the corpses of the beast gradually turned into ashes in the flames. However, those [filthy secret powers] seem to be more stubborn than they imagined. Even under the burning of flames, they still adhere tenaciously to the soil and even began to spread further away. "Ordinary flames and secret techniques have limited effects on these [filthy secret powers]." Jane frowned and said, "We need a stronger purification method." And at this time. Xia En thought of the passage between [Elf Secret Realm] and [Rhine Secret Realm]. The previous [Purification Stone] has been used on the [Fourth of Life] in the [Elf Secret Realm]. If the secret power of [Fountain of Life] can be transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm] through that channel. Perhaps it can purify these [filthy secret powers]. Xia En quickly made a decision and turned to Jane and said. "I need to return to the [Elf Secret Realm] immediately and use the power of [Fountain of Life] to purify these [Defiled Secret Powers]." "You continue to command here to ensure the safety of the city walls." Jane nodded, her eyes firm. "Don''t worry, I will keep here and you will come back as soon as possible." Xia En didn''t say much, quickly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal], and his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. [Elf Secret Realm]. An Qi and An are still working hard to maintain the stability of the ritual. The energy fluctuations in the light gate have become much more stable than before, and no longer appear in an illusory state. A fine bead of sweat oozed from Angel''s forehead, her hands moved quickly on the emerald green crystals, and she whispered an ancient spell. Anze stands beside the [Fountain of Life]. Touch the spring water gently with both hands, and the secret power in the body resonates with the spring water, guiding the power of the spring water into the ritual. At this moment, Xia En''s figure suddenly appeared beside them. "Captain Shane!" An Qi and An exclaimed at the same time, a little surprise flashing in their eyes. Xia En didn''t have time to explain too much, so he said directly. "There is a new situation on the battlefield of [Rhine City]." "[The Secret Power of Dirt] is polluting the land and the air, and we need to purify them with the power of [Fountain of Life]." Anqi immediately understood Xia En''s intention, and she nodded in a hurry. "I understand. I will adjust the ritual immediately and transmit the power of [Fountain of Life] to [Rhine Secret Realm]." Shane nodded: "The faster the better, the time is tight." Angel did not say much and quickly began to adjust the ritual. Her hands moved quickly over the emerald crystals, whispering more complex spells. As she moved, the energy fluctuations in the light gate gradually increased. The newest XiaoSpeakSendSix9Book͡͡͡Back͡͡͡! A brilliant light shot out from the crystal and rushed straight into the sky. "An, continue to guide the power of [Fountain of Life] to ensure the stability of energy transmission." Anqi''s voice was filled with a hint of urgency. An nodded, touching the spring water with his hands again, and the secret power in his body resonated quickly with the spring water. The light in the spring water increased again, like a trickle of water flowing into the light gate. Shane stood aside, staring at the energy fluctuations in the light gate. He could feel that the power of [Fountain of Life] was gradually transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm] through the rituals. "Success!" Angel said happily. Her hands were still moving quickly on the emerald green crystals to ensure the stability of the ritual. "The power of [Fountain of Life] has been successfully transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm]." "Then you only need to guide this force to purify those [filthy secret powers]." Shane nodded, his eyes firmly: "Ms. Angel, you continue to maintain the stability of the ritual." "I will return to [Rhine City] and guide the power of [Fountain of Life] to purify it." Angel frowned slightly, her tone of concern. "Captain Shane, although the power of [Fountain of Life] is powerful." But its purification process can cause severe energy fluctuations, and you need to be careful. Xia En smiled confidently: "Don''t worry, I will act cautiously." After saying that, he activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] again and shuttled back to the [Rhine Secret Realm]. On the wall of [Rhine City], Jane and everyone were still nervously clearing the corpses of giant apes and beasts under the wall. Although the warriors have tried their best, those [filthy secret forces] are still stubbornly attached to the soil. It even began to spread deeper. Jane''s face was solemn. She knew that relying solemnly on their power alone, she might not be able to completely remove these [filthy secret powers]. At this moment, Xia En''s figure suddenly appeared on the city wall. "Shane!" A hint of joy flashed in Jane''s eyes and she quickly walked to him: "How is the situation?" Xia En nodded, his tone calm. "The power of [Fountain of Life] has been successfully transmitted to [Rhine Secret Realm]." "Next I will guide this force to purify these [filthy secret powers]." Jane breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with expectations. "That''s great, we finally have a way to deal with these [defiled secret powers]." Xia En didn''t say much, quickly walked to the edge of the city wall and swept across the battlefield below. He could feel that the power of [Fountain of Life] had gradually come to the sky above [Rhine City] through the rituals. As the Lord of Rhine, no one can perceive this external power more clearly than him. "Let''s get started." Xia En murmured in a low voice, and the secret power in his body surged quietly. Resonate with that invisible force. His hands slowly raised, his palms facing upward, as if he was holding some invisible power. As he moved, a faint golden light gradually emerged from the air. These lights slowly fall from the air like tiny light spots, sprinkling on the land polluted by the [filthy secret power]. The whole scene seemed like a grand, golden rain that came to the territory of Rhine City. "Buzz" The moment the golden light spot touched the black mist, it made a slight buzzing sound. Immediately afterwards, the black mist quickly began to dissipate as if it had encountered a natural enemy. "efficient!" Jane''s eyes flashed with joy. She could clearly feel that the air around her was gradually becoming fresh. Xia En did not stop and continued to guide the power of [Fountain of Life]. There were more and more golden light spots, gradually forming a golden rain of light covering the entire battlefield. The soil polluted by [Defiled Secret Power] gradually returned to its original color under the baptism of light and rain. The black mist was completely purified, and a fresh breath filled the air. The soldiers on the city wall also felt this power, stopped their movements, and looked up at the sky. "Is this the power of [Fountain of Life]?" Sha Jingjing murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of shock. She could feel that this power not only purifies the [filthy secret power]. It also made her body feel warm, as if even her fatigue was swept away. Even the secret power in the sand crystal body has been slightly enhanced. The aura that was already close to legend has improved a little further. "I...I broke through!" In the city, the warriors of the [Yongyue Clan] couldn''t help but exclaimed a joyful cry. And there is more than one such voice! These soldiers had already experienced a hard battle and were baptized by the [Fountain of Life] at this moment. The secret power was replenished and naturally broke through the original rank. It is foreseeable. After this battle, the comprehensive combat power of the [Rhine City] soldiers will usher in a considerable improvement. Shane stood on the city wall, his eyes swept across the battlefield below, and he felt a little relieved. The power of [Fountain of Life] is indeed powerful. It not only successfully purified the [Defiled Secret Power], but also greatly improved the warriors in the city. Although the battle was difficult, the result was unexpectedly good. "Shane, you did it!" Jane walked to him and sighed. Xia En smiled slightly, with a little tiredness in his tone. "This is everyone''s credit." "Without your persistence, this battle would not be possible." Jane shook her head, her eyes firmly: "No, it was you who led us through this crisis." "If it weren''t for you, [Rhine City] would have fallen long ago." Xia En didn''t say anything more, just looked into the depths of the forest. He knew that this battle came to an end for the time being. But the threat of [Heartbreaker] has not been completely lifted. They must be prepared as soon as possible to meet the greater challenges that may come. (End of this chapter)
